Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of air conditioning equipment technology, and in particular to an air outlet structure and an air conditioning device. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, air conditioners are widely used in various industries. An air conditioner consists of a cold source / heat source, an air outlet structure, and other auxiliary equipment. The cold source / heat source is responsible for providing cold or hot air, and the air outlet structure is used to deliver cold or hot air into the space where the air conditioner is located, thereby regulating and controlling parameters such as temperature, humidity, and airflow of the ambient air in the space.

[0003] The air outlet structure typically has a large air outlet, allowing the cold and hot air blown out of the air outlet to cover a sufficient space. However, due to size limitations, the air inlet used to input cold and hot air is usually smaller than the air outlet. This results in a larger air volume near the air inlet and a smaller air volume far from the air outlet, ultimately leading to uneven airflow from the air outlet structure and affecting the user experience. Summary of the Invention

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide an air outlet structure and air conditioning equipment to address the problem of uneven airflow from the air outlet of traditional air conditioners.

[0008] The second diverter is disposed in at least one of the airflow channels. The second diverter has a plurality of through holes, each of which penetrates the second diverter on opposite sides in the longitudinal direction of the airflow channel.

[0017] In one embodiment, the first diverter includes two components, and at the end near the air inlet, the distance between the first housing and the first diverter near the first housing in the first direction is X1.

[0018] At the end near the air inlet, the distance between the two first diverter components in the first direction is X2;

[0019] At the end near the air inlet, the distance between the second housing and the first diverter near the second housing in the first direction is X3;

[0020] Where X1 is greater than X2, and / or X2 is greater than or equal to X3;

[0021] In one embodiment, X1:X2:X3 = 2:1:1.

[0022] In one embodiment, the first diverter includes two components, and at one end near the air outlet, the distance between the first housing and the first diverter near the first housing in the first direction is Y1.

[0023] At the end near the air outlet, the distance between the two first diverter components in the first direction is Y2;

[0024] At the end near the air outlet, the distance between the second housing and the first diverter near the second housing in the first direction is Y3.

[0025] Wherein, Y1 is greater than Y2, and / or Y2 is greater than or equal to Y3.

[0026] In one embodiment, Y1:Y2:Y3 = 5:1:1.

[0027] In one embodiment, at least a portion of the through hole is an elongated hole that extends from one end near the air inlet to one end near the air outlet.

[0028] In one embodiment, at least a portion of the first diverter has a recessed air guide groove on at least one side of its surface in the first direction, the air guide groove extending from one end near the air inlet to one end near the air outlet.

[0029] In one embodiment, the first diverter includes a plurality of air guide slots, which are parallel to each other.

[0030] In one embodiment, at least a portion of the air guide groove has a depth of 0.5mm-2mm and / or a width of 1mm-3mm.

[0031] In one embodiment, the air outlet structure further includes an air guide plate, which is movably mounted on the housing to open or close the air outlet.

[0039] In one embodiment, the smoke hood module has a smoke inlet on the side opposite to the air outlet.

[0040] The aforementioned air outlet structure guides the cold / hot air input from the air inlet through the first and second diverter components. This allows the cold / hot air to flow to various parts of the air cavity under the action of the first and second diverter components, rather than concentrating the air outlet near the air inlet. As a result, when the cold / hot air in the air cavity is discharged through the air outlet, the entire air outlet can form a uniform airflow, avoiding the problem of uneven airflow and improving user comfort.

[0056] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this application more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a thorough understanding of this application. However, this application can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar modifications without departing from the spirit of this application. Therefore, this application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0057] In the description of this application, it should be understood that if terms such as "center", "longitudinal", "lateral", "length", "width", "thickness", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", "axial", "radial", "circumferential" appear, these terms indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this application.

[0058] Furthermore, where the terms "first" and "second" appear, these terms are for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. In the description of this application, where the term "multiple" appears, "multiple" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0059] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "joining," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components, unless otherwise expressly limited. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0060] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the use of descriptions such as "above" or "below" the second feature indicates that the first and second features are in direct contact or indirect contact via an intermediate medium. Furthermore, "above," "on top of," and "over" the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature.

[0061] It should be noted that if an element is referred to as being "fixed to" or "set on" another element, it can be directly on the other element or there may be an intervening element. If an element is considered to be "connected to" another element, it can be directly connected to the other element or there may be an intervening element. If so, the terms "vertical," "horizontal," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," and similar expressions used in this application are for illustrative purposes only and do not represent the only possible implementation.

[0062] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3The air outlet structure 100 includes a housing 10 and at least two first diverter components 20. The housing forms an air cavity 11, and an air inlet 12 and an air outlet 13, both connected to the air cavity 11. The air inlet 12 is used to input cold or hot air. After the air input through the air inlet 12 diffuses within the air cavity 11, it is discharged from the air outlet 13, thereby cooling or heating the room. The air outlet 13 is elongated, with the first direction X being... Figure 1 Increasing the length of the air outlet 13 increases the coverage area of ​​the cold or hot air discharged from the air outlet 13, thereby improving the cooling or heating effect of the room.

[0063] Because the air outlet 13 is relatively long, the wind speed is higher near the air inlet 12 and lower further away from the air outlet 13, resulting in uneven airflow from the air outlet 13 and reducing user comfort.

[0064] To this end, at least two first diverting components 20 are arranged at intervals along the first direction X in the air cavity 11. All the first diverting components 20 divide the air cavity 11 into at least two independent airflow channels. The air inlet 12 is connected to one end of each airflow channel 111, and the air outlet 13 is connected to the other end of the airflow channel 111. That is, the air input into the air cavity 11 by the air inlet 12 will be divided into multiple airflows by multiple first diverting components 20. Each airflow moves in one of the airflow channels 111. The multiple airflow channels 111 correspond to different positions of the air outlet 13, so that gas can be discharged from each position of the air outlet 13, ensuring the uniformity of the air outlet 13.

[0065] In actual use, due to the shape limitations of the outer casing 10, the volumes of the various airflow channels 111 may vary. Furthermore, airflow entering the larger airflow channel 111 may experience uneven distribution. Figure 2 In the embodiment, the volume of the left airflow channel 111 is larger than that of the middle and right airflow channels 111. After the airflow enters the left airflow channel 111, the airflow will flow along the inner wall of the airflow channel 111, resulting in a smaller airflow in the middle part of the left airflow channel 111, which eventually leads to uneven airflow from the air outlet 13.

[0066] Therefore, the air outlet structure also includes a second diverter 25, which is disposed within at least one airflow channel 111. The second diverter 25 has multiple through holes 27, each penetrating both sides of the second diverter in the longitudinal direction of the airflow channel 111. The longitudinal direction of the airflow channel 111 is the direction of gas flow within the airflow channel 111. Therefore, when the gas flows through the airflow channel 111 containing the second diverter 25, it will come into contact with the second diverter 25. 5 will further divert the airflow in the airflow channel 111, causing some airflow to change its flow direction. Through the through hole 27 on the second diverter 25, some airflow can pass through the second diverter 25 and continue to flow in its original direction, while the remaining airflow does not pass through the through hole 27 of the second diverter 25, but moves towards the air outlet 13 under the action of the second diverter. In this way, the airflow input into the airflow channel 111 can be evenly distributed in the airflow channel 111, thereby improving the uniformity of the airflow from the air outlet 13.

[0067] Specifically Figure 2 In this embodiment, the second diverter 25 is disposed in the leftmost airflow channel 111 and located in the middle of the airflow channel 111. The airflow input into the airflow channel 111 is divided into two streams along the second diverter 25. One stream flows from the right side of the airflow channel 111 to the air outlet 13 under the action of the second diverter 25. The other stream flows through the through hole 27 on the second diverter 25 to the left side of the airflow channel 111. Under the action of the inner wall of the air cavity 11 and the second diverter 25, the left side of the airflow channel 111 flows to the air outlet 13. In this way, the part of the air outlet 13 corresponding to the leftmost airflow channel 111 can also have uniform airflow discharged, which improves the overall uniformity of the airflow from the air outlet 13.

[0068] The aforementioned air outlet structure 100 guides the cold / hot air input into the air inlet 12 through the first diverter 20 and the second diverter 25, so that the cold / hot air can flow to various parts of the air cavity 11 under the action of the first diverter 20 and the second diverter 25, instead of concentrating the air outlet 13 near the air inlet 12. This ensures that when the cold / hot air in the air cavity 11 is discharged through the air outlet 13, the entire air outlet 13 can form a uniform air outlet, avoiding the problem of uneven air outlet and improving user comfort.

[0069] In some embodiments of this application, the second diverter 25 extends in an arc shape from one end near the air inlet 12 to the end near the air outlet 13. The airflow input from the air inlet 12 will move toward the air outlet 13 under the action of the second diverter 25. The arc-shaped second diverter 25 can make the airflow along the second diverter 25 move more smoothly, avoiding turbulence that affects the airflow of the air outlet 13.

[0070] In some embodiments, the first diverter 20 extends in an arc shape from one end of the air inlet 12 toward the end near the air outlet 13, similar to the second diverter 25. By setting the first diverter 20 in an arc shape, the first diverter 20 has a better guiding effect on the airflow, further avoiding turbulence that could affect the air volume of the air outlet 13.

[0071] In some specific embodiments, the air outlet 13 includes a first end 14 and a second end 15 opposite to each other in the first direction X. In the direction from the air inlet 12 to the air outlet 13, one of the arcs formed by the first diverter 20 and the second diverter 25 protrudes towards the first end 14, and the other protrudes towards the second end 15. Since the first diverter 20 mainly guides the airflow, and the second diverter 25 is mainly used to further divert the airflow, the protrusion directions of the first diverter 20 and the second diverter 25 are opposite, which can make the airflow diversion effect of the second diverter 25 better.

[0072] Specifically Figure 2 In the embodiment, the first end 14 is located Figure 2 On the left side, the second end 15 is located Figure 2 On the right side, all the first diverter 20 faces the second end 15, that is, protrudes on the right side, and the second diverter 25 faces the first end 14, that is, protrudes on the left side. The airflow guided by the first diverter 20 will move towards the first end 14, and the second diverter protruding towards the first end 14 can divert more airflow, so that the airflow moves towards the middle of the air outlet 13, and finally makes the airflow of the entire air outlet 13 more uniform.

[0073] In some specific embodiments, the flow area of ​​the air inlet 12 is smaller than that of the air outlet 13 to save the volume of the pipe for transmitting cold / hot air. At the same time, the air inlet 12 is positioned close to the second end 15 of the air outlet 13. The airflow input from the air inlet 12 into the air cavity 11 is first divided into multiple airflows by the action of multiple first diverting members 20, flowing towards various parts of the air outlet 13. Some of the airflow will be further divided into a flow moving towards the middle of the air outlet 13 by the action of the second diverting member 25, and flow towards the second end of the air outlet 13 after passing through the second diverting member 25. Finally, a uniform airflow is formed in the air outlet 13.

[0074] Thus, even if the flow area of ​​the air inlet 12 is smaller than that of the air outlet 13, the airflow from the air inlet 12 can still be evenly guided to various parts of the air outlet 13 by the first diverter 20 and the second diverter 25, ensuring the uniformity of the airflow from the air outlet 13. It is understood that in other embodiments, the air inlet 12 may also be located close to the first end 14 of the air outlet 13.

[0075] It should be noted that the flow area of ​​the air inlet 12 refers to the vertical projection area of ​​the air inlet 12 along the second direction Y, and the flow area of ​​the air outlet 13 refers to the vertical projection area of ​​the air outlet 13 along the second direction Y.

[0076] In some embodiments of this application, the outer casing 10 includes a first casing 16 and a second casing 17. The first casing 16 and the second casing 17 are arranged at intervals along a first direction X. The distance between the first casing 16 and the second casing 17 along the first direction X gradually increases from the air inlet 12 to the air outlet 13, thereby making the distance between the first casing 16 and the second casing 17 at the air inlet 12 smaller, that is, forming a smaller area air inlet 12, while the distance between the first casing 16 and the second casing 17 at the air outlet 13 is larger, thereby forming a larger area air outlet 13.

[0077] In some embodiments, the first housing 16 includes a first housing segment 161, a second housing segment 162, and a third housing segment 163. The first housing segment 161 is located near the air inlet 12, and the third housing segment 163 is located near the air outlet 13. The first housing segment 161, the second housing segment 162, and the third housing segment 163 are sequentially connected to form a curve or a broken line. When airflow is input into the air cavity 11 through the air inlet 12, some of the airflow will move along the inner wall of the air cavity 11, that is, sequentially along the first housing segment 161, the second housing segment 162, and the third housing segment 163 in the first housing 16. Since the first housing segment 161, the second housing segment 162, and the third housing segment 163 are sequentially connected to form a curve or a broken line, the airflow fits better with the first housing 16, turbulence is less likely to occur, and airflow loss is reduced.

[0078] In some specific embodiments, the second housing segment 162 extends along the first direction X, and the second housing segment 162 and the air outlet 13 are spaced apart along the second direction Y, where the second direction Y is... Figure 1 and Figure 9 In the width direction of the central air outlet structure 100, from the air inlet 12 to the air outlet 13, one end of the second diverter 25 is close to the second section housing 162, and the other end is close to the air outlet 13, such as... Figure 2 As shown.

[0079] In actual use, part of the airflow from the air inlet 12 moves toward the first section of the housing 161 under the action of the first diverter 20 near the first housing 16. This part of the airflow passes through the second diverter 25 and is divided into two parts. One part flows toward the middle of the air outlet 13 under the action of the second diverter 25, and the other part flows along the first direction after passing through the through hole 27 of the second diverter 25. Finally, under the action of the third section of the housing 163, it flows out from the first end 14 near the air outlet 13. In this way, airflow can flow out from each part of the air outlet 13, which improves the uniformity of the airflow from the air outlet 13.

[0080] In some embodiments, see Figure 3 In order to further improve the uniformity of air outlet 13, the first diverter 20 includes two components. At the end near the air inlet 12, the distance between the first housing 16 and the first diverter 20 near the first housing 16 in the first direction X is X1.

[0081] At the end near the air inlet 12, the distance between the two first diverter components 20 in the first direction X is X2;

[0082] At the end near the air inlet 12, the distance between the second housing 17 and the first diverter 20 near the second housing 17 in the first direction X is X3;

[0083] In actual use, the two first diverter components 20 divide the air cavity 11 into three airflow channels 111 arranged sequentially along the first direction X, such as... Figure 2 As shown, since the leftmost airflow channel 111, i.e. the airflow channel 111 formed by the first housing 16 and the nearest first diverter 20, has the largest volume, the airflow path of the leftmost airflow channel is the longest, the flow resistance is the greatest, and the gas flow velocity is the lowest. Therefore, more airflow needs to be distributed into the leftmost airflow channel 111.

[0084] The airflow channel 111 located in the middle, that is, the airflow channel 111 formed by the airflow channel between the two first flow dividers 20, has the second largest volume, the second largest flow path and the second largest flow resistance, and the largest gas flow velocity. Therefore, the gas flow rate that needs to be allocated is smaller than that of the leftmost airflow channel 111.

[0085] The airflow channel located on the far right, namely the airflow channel 111 formed by the second housing 17 and the nearest first diverter 20, has the smallest volume, the smallest flow path and flow resistance, and the largest gas flow velocity. Therefore, the required airflow rate is also the smallest.

[0086] Therefore, X1 is controlled to be greater than X2, and / or X2 is greater than or equal to X3, so that the airflow allocated to the leftmost airflow channel 111 is the largest, the airflow in the middle airflow channel 111 is the second largest, and the airflow in the rightmost airflow channel 111 is the smallest, or equal to the airflow in the middle airflow channel 111. Optionally, X1:X2:X3=2:1:1.

[0087] Specifically, in some embodiments, see [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 2 The first diverter 20 includes two components. At the end near the air outlet 13, the distance between the first housing 16 and the first diverter 20 near the first housing 16 in the first direction X is Y1. At the end near the air outlet 13, the distance between the two first diverters 20 in the first direction X is Y2. At the end near the air outlet 13, the distance between the second housing 17 and the first diverter 20 near the second housing 17 in the first direction X is Y3.

[0088] Among them, since the airflow is allocated to the leftmost airflow channel 111, in order to ensure the uniformity of airflow, the leftmost airflow channel needs to cover the largest area of ​​the air outlet 13. The airflow allocated to the middle airflow channel 111 is the second largest, so the middle airflow channel 111 covers the second largest area of ​​the air outlet 13. The airflow allocated to the rightmost airflow channel 111 is the smallest, so the rightmost airflow channel 111 covers the smallest area of ​​the air outlet 13.

[0089] Therefore, Y1 is controlled to be greater than Y2, and / or Y2 is greater than or equal to Y3, so that the airflow of the leftmost airflow channel 111 covers the largest area of ​​the air outlet 13, the middle airflow channel 111 covers the next largest area of ​​the air outlet 13, and the rightmost airflow channel 111 covers the smallest area of ​​the air outlet 13, or is the same as the middle airflow channel 111. Optionally, Y1:Y2:Y3=5:1:1.

[0090] Specifically, in some embodiments, see [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 5 The second diverter 25 can have a through hole 27 that is circular. Multiple circular holes are arranged in an array. The diameter of each circular hole is 4mm and the distance between two adjacent circular holes is 5mm.

[0091] In some other embodiments, see Figure 6 Alternatively, all through holes 27 can be elongated holes, extending from one end near the air inlet 12 towards the end near the air outlet 13. That is, the extension direction of the elongated holes is parallel to the extension direction of the second diverter 25, facilitating airflow through the elongated holes. It is understood that in some other embodiments, some through holes 27 may be elongated holes, while others may be circular holes; this is not limited here.

[0092] In some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 4 At least a portion of the first diverter 20 has a recessed air guide groove 21 on at least one side of its surface in the first direction X. The air guide groove 21 extends from one end near the air inlet 12 to one end near the air outlet 13. Thus, after the airflow from the air inlet 12 contacts one end of the first diverter 20, it enters the air guide groove 21 and moves along the first diverter 20 under the action of the air guide groove 21. Since the airflow is constrained by the air guide groove 21, the generation of turbulence is reduced, thereby reducing the loss of airflow volume and ensuring the airflow volume of the air outlet 13.

[0093] It is understandable that, since airflow passes through both sides of the first diverter 20 in the first direction X, air guide slots 21 can be provided on both sides of the first diverter 20 in the first direction X.

[0094] In some embodiments, the first diverter 20 includes a plurality of air guide slots 21, which are parallel to each other, and the extension direction of each air guide slot 21 is parallel to the extension direction of the second diverter 25 to which it is located. This makes the air guide slot 21 guide the airflow in the same way as the second diverter 25 to which it is located, thereby improving the airflow constraint and guidance effect, reducing the generation of turbulence, and thus reducing the loss of airflow volume, ensuring the airflow volume of the outlet 13.

[0095] Optionally, at least some of the air guide grooves 21 have a depth of 0.5mm-2mm and a width of 1mm-3mm. In other embodiments, the depth and width of the air guide grooves 21 can be selected according to the size of the airflow, and are not limited here.

[0096] In some embodiments of this application, see [reference] Figure 7 The air outlet structure 100 also includes an air guide plate 30, which is movably mounted on the housing 10 to open or close the air outlet 13. In actual use, the air guide plate 30 can not only close the air outlet 13 when the air conditioning module 200 of the air conditioning equipment stops working, preventing oil fumes from entering the air outlet 13 and causing oil fume pollution, but also create different air outlet effects at the air outlet 13 according to the different opening or closing angles of the air guide plate 30 relative to the housing 10, thereby improving the user experience.

[0097] In some embodiments, the air outlet structure 100 further includes a telescopic member 31, which is movably mounted on the housing 10 and has a telescopic end 32 that can extend or retract relative to the air outlet 13. The air guide plate 30 is oscillatingly mounted on the telescopic end 32 about an axis parallel to the first direction X.

[0098] In actual use, when the air conditioning module 200 is started, the air guide plate 30 needs to open the air outlet 13. At this time, the air guide plate 30 can be extended to open the air outlet 13. When different air outlet effects are required, the air guide plate 30 can be rotated to form different angles with the outer casing 10. The cold / hot air discharged from the air outlet 13 will form airflow in different directions according to the different angles of the air guide plate 30, thus forming different air outlet effects.

[0099] The air guide plate 30 can be extended a certain distance from the outer shell 10 by the telescopic component 31. After that, the air guide plate 30 can be rotated to completely detach from the outer shell 10, as shown in the figure. At this time, the airflow discharged from the air outlet 13 will form two airflows under the action of the air guide plate 30. The two airflows flow through the opposite sides of the guide plate, that is, airflow can blow over both the upper and lower sides of the guide plate, thereby avoiding the phenomenon of condensation on the other side of the guide plate caused by the airflow only passing through one side of the guide plate.

[0100] Furthermore, when it is necessary to close the air outlet 13, the air guide plate 30 can be swung so that its surface is parallel to the surface of the air outlet 13. Finally, the telescopic member 31 is moved so that its telescopic end 32 retracts into the air outlet 13. During the retraction of the telescopic end 32, the telescopic end 32 will drive the air guide plate 30 to move until the air guide plate 30 covers the air outlet 13, thus completing the closure of the air outlet 13.

[0101] In some embodiments, in order to extend or retract the telescopic end 32 of the telescopic member 31, the telescopic member 31 is movably mounted on the housing 10 along the second direction Y. The telescopic member 31 has a rack 33 that extends longitudinally along the second direction Y. The air outlet structure 100 also includes a gear 34 that can be driven by external power. The gear 34 meshes with the rack 33, so that when the gear 34 rotates, the gear 34 drives the telescopic member 31 to move along the second direction Y through the rack 33, thereby enabling the telescopic end 32 of the telescopic member 31 to extend out of the air outlet 13. When it is necessary to close the air outlet 13, the gear 34 can be controlled to rotate in the opposite direction, so that the telescopic end 32 of the telescopic member 31 retracts into the air outlet 13.

[0102] Optionally, the air outlet structure 100 also includes a telescopic motor, which is mounted on the housing 10 and connected to the gear 34 for driving the gear 34 to rotate forward or backward. It is understood that in other embodiments, the rack 33 may also be curved, causing the air guide plate 30 to move in an arc shape. The air guide plate 30 may also be designed as a curved surface to achieve different air outlet effects.

[0103] In some embodiments, since the air outlet 13 is relatively long, the length of the air guide plate 30 is also relatively long. In order to improve the stability of the movement of the air guide plate 30, two telescopic members 31 are included. The telescopic ends 32 of the two telescopic members 31 are respectively connected to the two ends of the air guide plate 30 in the first direction X, so that the air guide plate 30 is extended simultaneously by the two telescopic members 31, thereby improving the stability of the movement of the air guide plate 30.

[0104] In some specific embodiments, the air outlet structure 100 further includes a swing drive 35. At least one telescopic member 31 has a swing drive 35 on its telescopic end 32 and is connected to the air guide plate 30 for driving the air guide plate 30 to swing around the axis. Optionally, the swing drive 35 is a motor. By directly setting the swing drive 35 on the telescopic member 31 and using it to drive the air guide plate 30 to move, there is no need for a complex transmission structure, thereby achieving the effect of simplifying the volume of the air outlet structure 100.

[0105] The air conditioning equipment also provided in this application embodiment, see [link / reference]. Figure 8 and Figure 9 It includes the air outlet structure 100 as in any of the above embodiments. The air conditioning equipment can heat up and cool down the environment through the air outlet structure 100. The air conditioning equipment may only include the structure of a traditional air conditioner, such as a cold source and a heat source. In some embodiments, the air conditioning equipment may also include a range hood module 300 so that the air conditioning equipment can be used as an air conditioning range hood.

[0106] In some embodiments, the air conditioning equipment includes an air conditioning module 200, an air outlet structure 100, and a smoke guide module. The air conditioning module 200 includes an evaporator, an evaporating impeller 210, and an evaporating duct 220. After the air outside the air conditioning equipment passes through the evaporator, the air temperature decreases. At this time, the evaporating impeller 210 works and generates negative pressure, drawing the cooled air into the evaporating duct 220. The evaporating duct 220 is connected to the air outlet structure 100 so that the cooled air is discharged from the air conditioning equipment through the air outlet structure 100, thereby achieving the effect of reducing the indoor temperature.

[0107] The air inlet 12 is located close to the evaporation duct 220 and is connected to the evaporation duct 220, so that the cooled air in the evaporation duct 220 can enter the air cavity 11 through the air inlet 12 and finally be discharged from the air conditioning equipment through the air outlet 13.

[0108] In practical use, existing air conditioning range hoods typically have the cold air outlet 13 designed above the ceiling. Installation requires removing part of the ceiling and running insulated pipes within the ceiling to deliver the cold air, making installation difficult. The pipework also increases exhaust resistance, resulting in reduced cooling capacity. Therefore, this design not only increases costs but also, due to inconsistent user installation practices, may affect cooling performance and reduce user experience.

[0109] Therefore, in some embodiments of this application, the air outlet 13 is located between the air conditioning module 200 and the range hood module 300. This not only allows the air outlet structure 100 to be directly installed on the overall structure of the air conditioning equipment, making full use of the overall space, but also eliminates the structural cost and installation time added by the external air outlet 13, thereby improving the user experience.

[0110] Furthermore, a smoke inlet 310 is provided on the side of the range hood module 300 away from the air outlet 13, as shown in the figure. Positioning the smoke inlet 310 away from the air outlet 13 prevents cold air from being drawn away by the smoke inlet 310 before it can cool the room, thus avoiding poor cooling performance of the air conditioning equipment. Optionally, to ensure the normal operation of the range hood module 300, the range hood module 300 also includes a smoke guide plate 320 for opening and closing the smoke inlet 310, and an oil cup 330 for collecting grease.

[0111] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0112] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementation methods of this application, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these all fall within the protection scope of this application. Therefore, the protection scope of this patent application should be determined by the appended claims.
