[0037] It should be noted that the embodiments in the embodiments of the present disclosure and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.
[0038] In combination with Figures 1-15As shown, the embodiment of the present disclosure provides an air outlet assembly 10, which comprises a base plate 11, a plurality of first baffles 400 and a plurality of second baffles 500. The base plate 11 is provided with a first air outlet. The plurality of first baffles 400 are arranged along the circumference of the first air outlet, and the first end of each first baffle 400 is rotatably connected to the base plate 11. The second end of each first baffle 400 is movable in the direction of approaching or moving away from the axis of the first air outlet. When the second end of each first baffle 400 is rotated inward to the first position, the plurality of first baffles 400 are gathered into a conical cylinder with two open ends, so that the first air outlet is opened at the minimum opening degree. When the second end of each first baffle 400 is moved outward to the second position, the first air outlet is opened at the maximum opening degree. The plurality of second baffles 500 are arranged along the circumference of the first air outlet and located outside the plurality of first baffles 400. The first end of each second baffle 500 is rotatably connected to the base plate 11, so that the second end is movable in the direction of approaching or moving away from the axis of the first air outlet. When the second end of each first baffle 400 is moved inward to the first position, the plurality of second baffles 500 are gathered inward. When the second end of each first baffle 400 is moved outward to the second position, each second baffle 500 is located between two adjacent first baffles 400.
[0039] The embodiment of the present disclosure provides an air outlet assembly 10, which comprises a base plate 11 and a plurality of first baffles 400. The base plate 11 is provided with a first air outlet in the middle, and the plurality of first baffles 400 are connected to the base plate 11 and arranged along the circumference of the first air outlet.
[0040] Taking one of the first baffles 400 as an example, the first end of the first baffle 400 is rotatably connected to the base plate 11. The rotation axis of the first baffle 400 is parallel to the plane in which the first air outlet is located. When the first baffle 400 rotates, the second end is movable in the direction of approaching or moving away from the axis of the first air outlet.
[0041] When the plurality of first baffles 400 move to the first position in the direction of approaching the axis of the first air outlet, the second ends of the plurality of first baffles 400 are gathered into a conical cylinder with two open ends. Taking the end with a larger cross section of the conical cylinder as the first end and the end with a smaller cross section as the second end, the first end of the conical cylinder is in abutment with the first air outlet provided in the base plate 11, and the second end of the conical cylinder serves as the air outlet of the air outlet assembly 10 as a whole. At this time, the air outlet cross section of the air outlet assembly 10 is reduced, and the air entering the conical cylinder is blown to a farther distance under the gathering and guiding action of the plurality of first baffles 400, thereby realizing the aggregation of the telefocus air supply.
[0042] It should be noted that if only the cross section of the air outlet is reduced, the flow rate of air at the air outlet is high, but the airflow is turbulent, and a lot of kinetic energy is lost due to molecular collision near the air outlet, and the air supply distance is short. However, in the case where the plurality of first baffles 400 are gathered, each first baffle 400 plays a role of air guide, and the air can form a laminar flow under the wall effect of the first baffle 400, and the energy loss is small during movement, so that it can be blown to a farther position.
[0043] When the plurality of first baffles 400 move to the second position away from the axis of the first air outlet, the second ends of the plurality of first baffles 400 are spread out. The projection of the second end of each first baffle 400 on the plane of the first air outlet is located outside the first air outlet. At this time, the air outlet of the chassis 11 serves as the air outlet of the whole air outlet assembly 10, and the air outlet cross section of the air outlet assembly 10 is large. The air is directly blown out through the air outlet of the chassis 11 and is not disturbed by the plurality of first baffles 400, and the air volume of the air conditioner is large.
[0044] It should be noted that when the plurality of first baffles 400 move between the first position and the second position, the projection of the second end of the plurality of first baffles 400 on the plane of the air outlet is located inside the first air outlet. The plurality of first baffles 400 are gathered but cannot be enclosed into a closed cone barrel. At this time, the first air outlet of the chassis 11 serves as the air outlet of the whole air outlet assembly 10, and the second end of the plurality of first baffles 400 is located on the air outlet path to disturb the airflow. The wind after the disturbance of the plurality of first baffles 400 is blown to a short distance and the wind feeling is soft, that is, the sharp wedge disturbance air supply is realized.
[0045] Using the air outlet assembly 10 disclosed in the present application, the air supply distance and the wind feeling strength can be adjusted by the movement of the plurality of first baffles 400, and the air outlet form is various; the position of the plurality of first baffles 400 can be continuously changed, and the air supply distance and the wind feeling strength can be steplessly adjusted, and the individual needs of users in different use scenarios can be met.
[0046] When the plurality of first baffles 400 are spliced into a cone barrel, there are gaps between adjacent two first baffles 400. When the plurality of first baffles 400 rotate to the second position, there are large gaps between adjacent two first baffles 400. This will affect the air outlet effect of the air outlet assembly 10 to some extent. Therefore, the air outlet assembly 10 is also provided with a plurality of second baffles 500 to shield the gaps between the plurality of first baffles 400.
[0047] Specifically, the air outlet assembly 10 is provided with two rows of baffles, i.e. a plurality of first baffles 400 in the inner row and a plurality of second baffles 500 in the outer row. The plurality of second baffles 500 are also distributed along the circumference of the first air outlet and each of the second baffles 500 is rotatably connected to the bottom plate 11, and the second end of each of the second baffles 500 can move in the direction of approaching or moving away from the axis of the air outlet.
[0048] When the plurality of first baffles 400 move inwardly to the first position, a first conical cylinder is formed, and when the plurality of second baffles 500 move inwardly to the first position, a second conical cylinder is formed, which is located in the outer row of the first conical cylinder. At this time, each of the second baffles 500 blocks the joint seam between the adjacent two first baffles 400. With such a setting form, air leakage at the joint position of the adjacent two first baffles 400 can be further avoided.
[0049] When the plurality of first baffles 400 move outwardly to the second position, they are enclosed in a cylindrical shape, and there is a gap between the adjacent two first baffles 400. When the plurality of second baffles 500 move outwardly to the second position, they are enclosed in a cylindrical shape, and each of the second baffles 500 is used to block the gap between the adjacent two first baffles 400. In this way, the first baffles 400 and the second baffles 500 are enclosed in a closed air guide cylinder. In this way, the air guiding effect of the air outlet assembly 10 when the plurality of first baffles 400 are in the second position can be improved.
[0050] When the plurality of first baffles 400 are located between the first position and the second position, the projection of the second end of the first baffles 400 on the plane of the first air outlet is located within the first air outlet, and the second end of the first baffles 400 plays a role of disturbing flow. At this time, the projection of the second end of the second baffles 500 on the plane of the first air outlet is also located within the first air outlet, and the second end of the second baffles 500 also plays a role of disturbing flow. In this way, the effect of air supply by sharp-piercing disturbance flow of the air outlet assembly 10 can be further improved.
[0051] Optionally, the base plate 11 comprises a fixed ring 100 and a driving ring 200. The fixed ring 100 is provided with a first air outlet. The fixed ring 100 is provided with a plurality of first pivot portions 110 and a plurality of second pivot portions 130 along the circumference of the first air outlet. The plurality of second pivot portions 130 are located outside the plurality of first pivot portions 110. A plurality of first baffles 400 are connected to the fixed ring 100 one by one through the plurality of first pivot portions 110. A plurality of second baffles 500 are connected to the fixed ring 100 one by one through the plurality of second pivot portions 130. The driving ring 200 is coaxial with the fixed ring 100 and can rotate relative to the fixed ring 100. The driving ring 200 is provided with a plurality of first driving portions 210 and a plurality of second driving portions 220. The plurality of first baffles 400 are each provided with a first driving cooperation portion 420. The plurality of second baffles 500 are each provided with a second driving cooperation portion 520. The plurality of first driving portions 210 and the plurality of first driving cooperation portions 420 correspond to each other. The plurality of second driving portions 220 and the plurality of second driving cooperation portions 520 correspond to each other. When the driving ring 200 rotates, the second ends of the plurality of first baffles 400 and the second ends of the plurality of second baffles 500 move along the axis of the first air outlet in the direction of approaching or moving away from the first air outlet.
[0052] In order to realize the fixation and driving of the plurality of first baffles 400 and the plurality of second baffles 500, the base plate 11 comprises a fixed ring 100 and a driving ring 200. The fixed ring 100 is used to provide mounting positions for the plurality of first baffles 400 and the plurality of second baffles 500, that is, the plurality of first baffles 400 are rotatably connected to the fixed ring 100, and the plurality of second baffles 500 are rotatably connected to the fixed ring 100. The driving ring 200 is used to drive the plurality of first baffles 400 and the plurality of second baffles 500 to move synchronously to the first position or the second position or a certain position between the first position and the second position.
[0053] One side of the fixed ring 100 is provided with a plurality of first pivot portions 110. The plurality of first pivot portions 110 correspond to the plurality of first baffles 400 one by one. The first baffles 400 are rotatably connected to the fixed ring 100 through the first pivot portions 110. For example, the first pivot portion 110 is a shaft sleeve, the first end of the first baffle 400 has a rotating shaft 430, and the rotating shaft 430 cooperates with the shaft sleeve, so as to realize the rotatable connection of the first baffle 400. For another example, the first pivot portion 110 is a rotating shaft 430, and the first baffle 400 is provided with a shaft sleeve. The shaft sleeve cooperates with the rotating shaft 430, so as to realize the rotatable connection of the first baffle 400.
[0054] The driving ring 200 is provided with a plurality of second pivot portions 130 on one side, and the second pivot portions 130 are located outside the first pivot portions 110. The plurality of second pivot portions 130 correspond to the plurality of second blocking pieces 500 one by one, and the second blocking pieces 500 are rotationally connected to the fixed ring 100 through the second pivot portions 130. Exemplarily, the second pivot portions 130 are shaft sleeves, and the first ends of the second blocking pieces 500 are provided with rotating shafts 430, which are matched with the shaft sleeves to realize the rotational connection of the second blocking pieces 500.
[0055] The driving ring 200 is arranged in parallel with the fixed ring 100, and the driving ring 200 can rotate in a plane relative to the fixed ring 100. The driving ring 200 is provided with a plurality of first driving portions 210, and each first blocking piece 400 is provided with a first driving matching portion 420. The plurality of first driving portions 210 correspond to the plurality of first driving portions 210 one by one. The driving ring 200 is also provided with a plurality of second driving portions 220, and each second blocking piece 500 is provided with a second driving matching portion 520. The plurality of second driving portions 220 correspond to the plurality of second driving matching portions 520 one by one. When the driving ring 200 rotates, the first driving portions 210 move in a circle along the plane where the driving ring 200 is located, drive the first driving matching portions 420 to move, and thus drive the first blocking pieces 400 to rotate around the first pivot portions 110. The second driving portions 220 move in a circle along the plane where the driving ring 200 is located, drive the second driving matching portions 520 to move, and thus drive the second blocking pieces 500 to rotate around the second pivot portions 130.
[0056] The chassis 11 includes the fixed ring 100, which fixes the plurality of first blocking pieces 400 and the plurality of second blocking pieces 500, facilitates the installation and positioning of the plurality of first blocking pieces 400 and the plurality of second blocking pieces 500, drives the plurality of first blocking pieces 400 and the plurality of second blocking pieces 500 to move at the same time through the driving ring 200, and thus the second ends of the plurality of first blocking pieces 400 can move to the first position or the second position at the same time, and the second ends of the plurality of second blocking pieces 500 can move to the first position or the second position at the same time, which facilitates the air outlet assembly 10 to change the air outlet form. The driving ring 200 is coaxial with the fixed ring 100 and can rotate relative to the fixed ring 100, and the driving ring 200 requires less space for movement, which is conducive to reducing the volume of the air outlet assembly 10.
[0057] Optionally, the outer circle of the fixed ring 100 is outwardly protruded to form an annular step 180, the plurality of second pivot portions 130 are arranged above the annular step 180, and the plurality of first pivot portions 110 are arranged on the inner circle of the fixed ring 100.
[0058] The outer ring of the fixed ring 100 is used to connect the plurality of second baffles 500, and the inner ring is used to connect the plurality of first baffles 400. When the plurality of first baffles 400 are spliced, gaps are prone to occur near the fixed ring 100, including the gap between the two adjacent first baffles 400 and the gap between the first baffle 400 and the fixed ring 100. Therefore, the fixed ring 100 is provided with an annular step 180, the outer ring of the fixed ring 100 is higher than the inner ring of the fixed ring 100, that is, the plurality of first connecting members 120 are arranged below the step, and the plurality of second connecting members are arranged above the step. The gap of the plurality of first baffles 400 near the fixed ring 100 is blocked by the side wall of the annular step 180. With such a setting form, the air-tightness of the plurality of first baffles 400 when spliced can be improved, thereby improving the air-out effect of the air-out assembly 10. In addition, the pivoting position of the first baffle 400 is below the step and the pivoting position of the second baffle 500 is above the step, and even if the distance between them is close, they are not prone to rotating interference. The annular step 180 can reduce the distance between the first baffle 400 and the second baffle 500, thereby improving the air-tightness of the air-out assembly 10.
[0059] Optionally, the first driving part 210 comprises a first guide groove 211, the distance from the first guide groove 211 to the first air outlet gradually increases from the first end to the second end; the first driving cooperation part 420 comprises a first driving pin 421, the first driving pin 421 extends into the first guide groove 211, and when the driving ring 200 rotates in the first direction, the distance from the first driving pin 421 to the first air outlet increases, thereby driving the second end of the first baffle 400 to be close to the axis of the first air outlet.
[0060] When the driving ring 200 rotates, the first guide groove 211 rotates relative to the first driving pin 421, and the first driving pin 421 slides relative to the first guide groove 211 under the limitation of the first pivot part 110. When the driving ring 200 rotates in the first direction, the first end of the first guide groove 211 gradually changes to cooperate with the first driving pin 421 to the second end of the first guide groove 211. The distance from the first driving pin 421 to the axis of the air outlet gradually increases under the limiting action of the first guide groove 211. The first baffle 400 takes the rotation axis as the fulcrum, takes the first driving pin 421 as one end of the lever, and takes the second end of the first baffle 400 as the other end of the lever. When the distance from the first driving pin 421 to the axis of the air outlet gradually increases, the distance from the second end of the first baffle 400 to the axis of the air outlet gradually decreases. The plurality of first baffles 400 all make the same movement, and the second ends of the plurality of first baffles 400 converge inward to achieve converging telephoto air-out. When the driving ring 200 rotates in the second direction, the distance from the first driving pin 421 to the axis of the air outlet gradually decreases, and the second ends of the plurality of first baffles 400 spread apart to achieve windless air-out.
[0061] Optionally, the angle between the first guide slot 211 and the axis of the first air outlet gradually increases from the first end to the second end.
[0062] In the thickness direction of the first guide slot 211 along the axial direction of the first air outlet, the first guide slot 211 has two opposite inner edges, and the angle between the first guide slot 211 and the axis of the first air outlet refers to the angle between the inner edge along the axial direction of the first air outlet and the axis of the first air outlet. If the two are parallel, the first driving pin 421 will interfere with the inner edge of the first guide slot 211 when it rotates. If there is a large fitting allowance between the first guide slot 211 and the first driving pin 421, it may cause the position of the first driving pin 421 to be unclear when the driving ring 200 rotates. Specifically, when the first baffle 400 is in the first position, it blocks more of the air outlet, and at this time the first driving pin 421 also tilts more. When the first baffle 400 is in the second position, its length direction is along the axis of the first air outlet, and at this time the first driving pin 421 tilts less and is generally parallel to the axis of the first air outlet. The angle between the first guide slot 211 and the air outlet gradually increases from the first end to the second end, and the degree of tilt of the first driving pin 421 during the rotation of the first baffle 400 is adapted to the degree of tilt of the first guide slot 211. In this way, on the one hand, the friction between the first guide slot 211 and the first driving pin 421 can be reduced, and on the other hand, the first driving pin 421 can be better rotated to a preset angle.
[0063] Optionally, the fixed ring 100 is provided with a plurality of first avoiding slots 141, and the plurality of first avoiding slots 141 correspond one-to-one to the plurality of first baffles 400. The first driving pin 421 of the first baffle 400 extends into the first guide slot 211 of the driving ring 200 through the first avoiding slot 141.
[0064] When the first baffle 400 rotates, the first driving pin 421 also rotates, and the first driving pin 421 extends into the first guide slot 211 of the driving ring 200 through the avoiding slot provided on the fixed ring 100. With such a setting form, the first driving pin 421 does not need to protrude out of the driving ring 200 to cooperate with the first guide slot 211 of the driving ring 200, simplifying the structure of the air outlet assembly 10.
[0065] Optionally, the length direction of the first avoiding slot 141 is along the radial direction of the fixed ring 100, and the width is adapted to the size of the first driving pin 421.
[0066] The first driving pin 421 moves along the radial direction of the fixing ring 100 when rotating, and the length direction of the first avoiding slot 141 is along the radial direction of the fixing ring 100, so that a rotating space is left for the rotation of the first driving pin 421. The width of the first avoiding slot 141 is matched with the size of the first driving pin 421, so that the movement of the first driving pin 421 is limited to the radial direction of the mounting ring 300, thereby avoiding the friction between the first guide slot 211 and the first driving pin 421 when the driving ring 200 rotates, so that the first driving pin 421 is driven to rotate along the circumferential direction of the fixing ring 100. In this way, the reliability of the air outlet assembly 10 in operation can be improved.
[0067] Optionally, the mounting ring 300 is provided with a third avoiding slot 341, the length direction of the third avoiding slot 341 is along the radial direction of the mounting ring 300, and the width is matched with the size of the first driving pin 421.
[0068] In this way, the third avoiding slot 341 of the mounting ring 300 and the first avoiding slot 141 of the fixing ring 100 jointly limit the movement of the first driving pin 421 to the radial direction of the fixing ring 100. By adopting such a setting form, the movement of the first driving pin 421 along the circumferential direction of the fixing ring 100 can be further avoided. Optionally, the fixing ring 100 is provided with a plurality of second pivot portions 130 along the circumferential direction of the first air outlet, the plurality of second pivot portions 130 are located outside the plurality of first pivot portions 110, and the plurality of second blocking pieces 500 are one-to-one correspondingly connected to the fixing ring 100 through the plurality of second pivot portions 130.
[0069] The plurality of first pivot portions 110 are used for connecting the plurality of first blocking pieces 400, and the plurality of second pivot portions 130 are used for connecting the plurality of second blocking pieces 500. The plurality of first blocking pieces 400 and the plurality of second blocking pieces 500 are connected to the fixing ring 100, so that the structure of the air outlet assembly 10 can be simplified and the volume of the air outlet assembly 10 can be reduced.
[0070] Optionally, the second driving portion 220 comprises a second guide slot 221, the distance from the second guide slot 221 to the first air outlet gradually increases from the first end to the second end; the second driving cooperation portion 520 comprises a second driving pin 521, the second driving pin 521 extends into the second guide slot 221, and when the driving ring 200 rotates in the first direction, the distance from the second driving pin 521 to the first air outlet increases, thereby driving the second end of the first blocking piece 400 to be close to the axis of the first air outlet.
[0071] Optionally, the driving ring 200 is provided with a plurality of second guide slots 221, the first end of the second blocking piece 500 is provided with a second driving pin 521, the second driving pin 521 extends into the second guide slot 221, and when the driving ring 200 rotates in two directions, the second blocking piece 500 also rotates in two directions.
[0072] The first guide slot 211 is used to drive the first baffle 400 to rotate, and the second guide slot 221 is used to drive the second baffle 500 to rotate. The cooperation between the second driving pin 521 and the second guide slot 221 can refer to the cooperation between the first driving pin 421 and the first guide slot 211. With such a setting form, the driving ring 200 rotates to simultaneously drive multiple first baffles 400 and multiple second baffles 500 to rotate, thereby improving the integration degree of the air outlet assembly 10.
[0073] Optionally, the fixing ring 100 is provided with multiple second avoiding slots 142, the multiple second avoiding slots 142 are located outside the multiple first avoiding slots 141, and the second driving pin 521 extends into the second guide slot 221 through the second avoiding slot 142.
[0074] The second driving pin 521 rotates when the second baffle 500 rotates, and the second driving pin 521 extends into the second guide slot 221 of the driving ring 200 through the second avoiding slot 142 provided in the fixing ring 100. With such a setting form, the second driving pin 521 can cooperate with the second guide slot 221 of the driving ring 200 without exceeding the driving ring 200, thereby simplifying the structure of the air outlet assembly 10.
[0075] Optionally, the mounting ring 300 is provided with multiple third avoiding slots 341 corresponding to the multiple first avoiding slots 141, and the first driving pin 421 extends into the third avoiding slot 341 through the first guide slot 211.
[0076] The third avoiding slot 341 cooperates with the first avoiding slot 141 to limit the movement of the first driving pin 421 along the circumference of the fixing ring 100. In this way, the rotation of the first driving pin 421 can be better limited to a preset rotation plane, and the first driving pin 421 can be prevented from being deformed or broken due to excessive local stress.
[0077] Optionally, the mounting ring 300 is provided with multiple fourth avoiding slots 342 corresponding to the multiple second avoiding slots 142, and the second driving pin 521 extends into the fourth avoiding slot 342 through the second guide slot 221.
[0078] The fourth avoiding slot 342 cooperates with the second avoiding slot 142 to limit the movement of the second driving pin 521 along the circumference of the fixing ring 100. In this way, the rotation of the second driving pin 521 can be better limited to a preset rotation plane, and the second driving pin 521 can be prevented from being deformed or broken due to excessive local stress.
[0079] Optionally, the air outlet assembly 10 further comprises a mounting ring 300 coaxial with the fixing ring 100, the mounting ring 300 is arranged opposite to the fixing ring 100 to form a driving space, and the driving ring 200 is rotatably arranged in the driving space.
[0080] The mounting ring 300 is used to fix the air outlet assembly 10 to a preset mounting position, such as an air outlet of a cabinet air conditioner. The base plate 11 is sequentially provided with the mounting ring 300, the driving ring 200 and the fixing ring 100 in the air outlet direction, and the driving ring 200 is located between the mounting ring 300 and the fixing ring 100. When the driving ring 200 drives the plurality of first baffles 400 to rotate, the movement of the driving ring 200 is not easy to interfere with the air outlet assembly 10 or other parts of the air conditioner. The mounting ring 300 and the fixing ring 100 form a driving space, so that the air outlet assembly 10 has a neat appearance.
[0081] Optionally, the mounting ring 300 is configured with a first sliding groove 320; the fixing ring 100 is configured with a second sliding groove 160 corresponding to the first sliding groove 320; and the driving ring 200 is provided with a sliding column 230, both ends of the sliding column 230 respectively protrude from two sides of the driving ring 200 and respectively extend into the first sliding groove 320 and the second sliding groove 160.
[0082] The driving ring 200 rotates in the driving space. If the driving ring 200 and the mounting ring 300 or the fixing ring 100 are in surface friction, the friction force is relatively large, which affects the rotation of the driving ring 200. The mounting ring 300 is configured with a first sliding groove 320, and the fixing ring 100 is configured with a second sliding groove 160 corresponding to the first sliding groove 320. Both the first sliding groove 320 and the second sliding groove 160 are arc-shaped sliding grooves. The driving ring 200 is further provided with a sliding column 230, both ends of the sliding column 230 respectively protrude from two sides of the driving ring 200 and respectively extend into the first sliding groove 320 and the second sliding groove 160. In this way, on the one hand, the sliding column 230 and the sliding groove cooperate to define a sliding track for the driving ring 200, which is conducive to the rotation of the driving ring 200; on the other hand, the sliding column 230 and the sliding groove cooperate to reduce the rotation friction of the driving ring 200, so that the driving ring 200 can rotate more smoothly. In addition, both ends of the sliding column 230 extend into the first sliding groove 320 and the second sliding groove 160, which is conducive to maintaining the relative distance between the driving ring 200 and the mounting ring 300 and the fixing ring 100. By adopting such a setting form, the concentricity and flatness of the driving ring 200 during rotation can be improved, which is conducive to the synchronous rotation of the plurality of first baffles 400 driven by the driving ring 200.
[0083] Optionally, when the sliding column 230 is located at a first end of the first sliding groove 320, the second ends of the plurality of first baffles 400 rotate inwardly to a first position and gather into a conical cylinder with two open ends, at this time, the first air outlet is opened at the smallest opening degree; when the sliding column 230 is located at a second end of the first sliding groove 320, the second ends of the plurality of first baffles 400 rotate outwardly to a second position to make the first air outlet open at the largest opening degree.
[0084] After the plurality of first baffles 400 are all rotated inwardly to the first position, if the driving ring 200 continues to rotate, it can cause the first baffles 400 to deform or flash, affecting the air outlet effect of the air outlet assembly 10. Therefore, the movement of the first baffles 400 needs to be limited. Since the rotation of the first baffles 400 is driven by the rotation of the driving ring 200, limiting the rotation of the driving ring 200 also simultaneously achieves the rotation limitation of the first baffles 400. Specifically, the first baffles 400 rotate between the first position and the second position, and correspondingly, the sliding column 230 slides between the first end and the second end of the first sliding groove 320. That is, the two ends of the first sliding groove 320 serve as the sliding limiting portion of the sliding column 230. With such a setting form, the first baffles 400 can be accurately moved to the first position or the second position, improving the accuracy of the movement control of the air outlet assembly 10 on the first baffles 400.
[0085] Optionally, when the sliding column 230 is located at the first end of the second sliding groove 160, the second ends of the plurality of first baffles 400 rotate inwardly to the first position and gather into a conical cylinder with two open ends, at which time the first air outlet is opened with the smallest opening degree; when the sliding column 230 is located at the second end of the second sliding groove 160, the second ends of the plurality of first baffles 400 rotate outwardly to the second position to make the first air outlet open with the largest opening degree.
[0086] Limiting the rotation of the driving ring 200 by the second sliding groove 160 and limiting the rotation of the driving ring 200 by the first sliding groove 320 can achieve the same effect.
[0087] Optionally, one side of the mounting ring 300 facing the fixed ring 100 is provided with a plurality of positioning bosses 330 along the circumference of the first air outlet, and the fixed ring 100 is provided with a plurality of positioning matching portions 170 corresponding to the positioning bosses 330, and the plurality of positioning matching portions 170 are one-to-one correspondingly lapped on the top of the positioning bosses 330.
[0088] The driving ring 200 rotates between the mounting ring 300 and the fixed ring 100, and a margin needs to be left for the rotation of the driving ring 200 between the mounting ring 300 and the fixed ring 100. Therefore, the mounting ring 300 is provided with a plurality of positioning bosses 330 along the circumference thereof at intervals, and the fixed ring 100 is provided with a plurality of positioning matching portions 170 along the circumference thereof. One side of the positioning boss 330 facing the fixed ring 100 abuts against one side of the positioning matching portion 170 facing the mounting ring 300. With such a setting form, it is beneficial to the installation and positioning of the mounting ring 300 and the fixed ring 100 in terms of relative distance and coaxiality.
[0089] Optionally, the driving ring 200 is located in the inner circle of the plurality of positioning bosses 330.
[0090] If the positioning boss 330 penetrates the driving ring 200, the driving ring 200 needs to be provided with a corresponding avoiding slot, which will affect the structural strength of the driving ring 200. Therefore, the driving ring 200 is located at the inner circle of the plurality of positioning bosses 330. In this way, the positioning boss 330 and the positioning matching part 170 will not interfere with the rotation of the driving ring 200, and the driving ring 200 does not need to be provided with an avoiding slot, and the structural strength is high.
[0091] Optionally, the top of the positioning boss 330 is provided with a positioning pin 331, and the positioning matching part 170 is provided with a positioning hole 171 corresponding to the positioning pin 331, and the positioning pin 331 is inserted into the positioning hole 171.
[0092] The side of the positioning boss 330 facing the fixing ring 100 is the top of the positioning platform, and the top of the positioning boss 330 is provided with a positioning pin 331. The side of the positioning matching part 170 facing the positioning boss 330 is provided with a positioning hole 171, and the positioning pin 331 is inserted into the positioning hole 171, which facilitates more accurate installation and positioning between the mounting ring 300 and the fixing ring 100.
[0093] Optionally, the first buckling part 310 and one of the plurality of positioning bosses 330 are in an integrated structure, and the second buckling part 150 and one of the plurality of positioning matching parts 170 are in an integrated structure.
[0094] With such a setting form, it is beneficial to the injection molding of the fixing ring 100 and the mounting ring 300. In addition, the positioning matching part 170 and the positioning boss 330 serve as a reinforcing rib, which can improve the structural strength of the first buckling and the second buckling part 150.
[0095] Optionally, when the driving ring 200 rotates in the first direction, the plurality of first flaps 400 and the plurality of second flaps 500 rotate inward, and the movement of the plurality of first flaps 400 leads the rotation of the plurality of second flaps 500, and when the driving ring 200 rotates in the second direction, the plurality of first flaps 400 and the plurality of second flaps 500 rotate outward, and the rotation of the plurality of second flaps 500 leads the rotation of the plurality of first flaps 400.
[0096] When the driving ring 200 rotates in the first direction, the plurality of first baffles 400 and the plurality of second baffles 500 rotate inward, and the plurality of first baffles 400 rotate earlier than the plurality of second baffles 500. That is, when the plurality of first baffles 400 and the plurality of second baffles 500 rotate inward, the plurality of first baffles 400 rotate first, and the plurality of second baffles 500 rotate later. In this way, a wind dispersing layer is formed between the first baffles 400 of the inner ring and the first baffles 400 of the outer ring. Part of the air entering the air outlet assembly 10 from the first air outlet first passes through the air guiding gap between the adjacent two first baffles 400 to enter the wind dispersing layer between the first baffles 400 and the second baffles 500, and then is blown out through the air guiding gap between the adjacent two second baffles 500. The turbulence of the plurality of first baffles 400 and the turbulence between the plurality of second baffles 500 have the wind dispersing layer as a buffer, and the air is mixed in the wind dispersing layer after being disturbed by the first baffles 400, and then is blown out after being disturbed by the second baffles 500. By adopting such a setting form, the wind dispersing layer can be formed, so that the plurality of first baffles 400 and the plurality of second baffles 500 can better cooperate to realize the sharp-piercing turbulence function.
[0097] Similarly, when the driving ring 200 rotates in the second direction, the plurality of first baffles 400 and the plurality of second baffles 500 rotate outward, and the plurality of second baffles 500 rotate earlier than the plurality of first baffles 400. When the plurality of first baffles 400 and the plurality of second baffles 500 rotate outward, the plurality of second baffles 500 rotate first, and the plurality of first baffles 400 rotate later. In this way, a wind dispersing layer is also formed between the first baffles 400 of the inner ring and the second baffles 500 of the outer ring, so that the plurality of first baffles 400 and the plurality of second baffles 500 can better cooperate to realize the sharp-piercing turbulence function.
[0098] By adopting such a setting form, the plurality of first baffles 400 and the plurality of second baffles 500 have a certain time difference in movement, so that a wind dispersing layer can be formed between the plurality of first baffles 400 and the plurality of second baffles 500, and the plurality of first baffles 400 and the plurality of second baffles 500 can better cooperate to realize the sharp-piercing turbulence function.
[0099] Optionally, when the first baffles 400 and the second baffles 500 rotate to the second position, the second baffles 500 exceed the first baffles 400 in the air outlet direction.
[0100] The height of the second baffle 500 extending from the fixed ring 100 is greater than the height of the first baffle 400 extending from the fixed ring 100. When the plurality of first baffles 400 are gathered inward, the length of the second baffle 500 is longer, which can better shield the gap between the first baffles 400. When the plurality of first baffles 400 are located between the first position and the second position for the sharp baffle air supply, the length of the second baffle 500 is longer, and the first baffle 400 is intersected and overlapped in the plane where the first air outlet is located, so that the plurality of second baffles 500 and the plurality of first baffles 400 can better jointly play the role of the sharp baffle. When the plurality of first baffles 400 are located at the second position, the plurality of second baffles 500 are longer than the plurality of first baffles 400. In this way, the change of the flow passage cross section when air is blown out through the air outlet assembly 10 can be certain excess, avoiding the formation of strong turbulence at the air outlet, which can improve the air outlet effect of the air outlet assembly 10.
[0101] Optionally, the first baffle 400 comprises a plate body 410, a rotating shaft, and a first driving pin 421, wherein the width of the plate body 410 gradually decreases from the first end to the second end; the rotating shaft is arranged at the first end of the plate body 410; and the first driving pin 421 is arranged at the first end of the plate body 410 or the rotating shaft.
[0102] The plurality of first baffles 400 can be spliced into a conical cylinder. In terms of a single first baffle 400, the width of the second end is smaller than the width of the first end. Specifically, the first baffle 400 comprises a plate body 410, which serves as the main body of the first baffle 400 and plays a role in enclosing and guiding air when the plurality of first baffles 400 are spliced. The width of the plate body 410 gradually decreases from the first end to the second end, so that the plurality of first baffles 400 can be spliced into a sealed conical cylinder when gathered. The rotating shaft is arranged at the first end of the plate body 410, and the rotating shaft cooperates with the first pivot part 110 of the fixed ring 100 to rotatably connect the first baffle 400 to the fixed ring 100. The first driving pin 421 serves as the first driving cooperation part 420, one end of which is connected to the first end of the plate body 410 or the rotating shaft, and the other end extends into the first guide groove 211. With such a setting form, the driving ring 200 can drive the first baffle 400 to rotate.
[0103] Optionally, the inward side of the first baffle 400 is constructed with an air guiding protrusion 413, and two adjacent air guiding protrusions 413 form an air guiding groove, which corresponds to the wedge-shaped protrusion 440.
[0104] Optionally, the plate body 410 comprises an air blocking part 411 and a mounting part 412, wherein the width of the air blocking part 411 gradually decreases from the first end to the second end; and the mounting part 412 is connected to the first end of the baffle, and there is a first included angle between the air blocking part 411 and the mounting part 412.
[0105] The plate body 410 comprises a wind blocking portion 411 and a mounting portion 412. The wind blocking portions 411 of the plurality of first baffles 400 are spliced to form a conical barrel. The mounting portion 412 is used to fix the first baffles 400 to the bottom disc 11.
[0106] The width of the wind blocking portion 411 gradually decreases from the first end to the second end, which is conducive to the splicing of the wind blocking portions 411 of the plurality of first baffles 400.
[0107] In the case where the plurality of first baffles 400 enclose a conical barrel, in the length direction, the wind blocking portion 411 is generally along the axial direction of the first air outlet, and the mounting portion 412 is generally along the radial direction of the first air outlet. There is a first included angle between the mounting portion 412 and the wind blocking portion 411, so that the mounting portion 412 can be attached to the bottom disc 11. The mounting portion 412 is attached to the bottom disc 11, and the fixing of the first baffle 400 can be realized without opening a hole in the bottom disc 11, which can avoid air leakage of the air outlet assembly 10. The mounting portion 412 is attached to the bottom disc 11, and the contact area between them is large, which can improve the fixing effect of the bottom disc 11 on the first baffle 400.
[0108] Optionally, the first included angle is greater than 90 degrees.
[0109] In the case where the first included angle is equal to 90 degrees, the length direction of the mounting portion 412 is along the radial direction of the first air outlet, and the length direction of the wind blocking portion 411 is along the axial direction of the first air outlet. When the first included angle is greater than 90 degrees, the second end of the wind blocking portion 411 is inwardly gathered when the mounting portion 412 is attached to the bottom disc 11, so that the plurality of first baffles 400 are spliced into a conical barrel. By adopting such a setting form, the fixing effect of the bottom disc 11 on the first baffle 400 can be further improved.
[0110] Optionally, the middle part of the wind blocking portion 411 is convex to the first air outlet.
[0111] The middle part of the wind blocking portion 411 is convex to the first air outlet, that is, the included angle between the conical barrel and the axis of the first air outlet gradually decreases from the first end to the second end. In the conical barrel, the increase of air flow velocity is more in the part close to the first end and less in the part close to the second end. The turbulence formed by the throttling and acceleration of air is more in the front section of the conical barrel, and the speed change is less in the rear section of the conical barrel. Under the wall effect of the rear end of the conical barrel, the air is rectified to reduce turbulence and increase laminar flow. After the air is blown out of the first conical barrel, it can be blown to a farther distance. By adopting such a setting form, the air supply distance of the air outlet assembly 10 can be further improved.
[0112] Optionally, the inward side of the plate body 410 is configured with a wind guide protrusion 413 extending along the length direction of the first baffle 400.
[0113] The air guide protrusion 413 on the inner surface of the plate body 410 is wedge-shaped or triangular, and its width gradually decreases from the first end to the second end of the plate body 410. When the plurality of first baffles 400 are spliced, the two adjacent air guide protrusions 413 form an air guide groove. The air flowing in the cone cylinder is divided into multiple streams flowing along the plurality of air guide grooves by the air guide protrusions 413. Under the guidance of the plurality of first air guide grooves, the air as a whole moves in the air outlet direction even if there is a certain vortex. In this way, the influence of the air close to the inner wall of the cone cylinder on the flow of other parts of the air can be reduced, and the kinetic energy loss of the air in the cone cylinder can be reduced, thereby improving the air supply distance of the air outlet assembly 10.
[0114] Optionally, the plate body 410 is configured with two air guide protrusions 413, and an air guide groove is formed between the two adjacent air guide protrusions 413.
[0115] The plate body 410 is configured with two air guide protrusions 413, and more air guide grooves can be formed on the inner wall of the cone cylinder. In this way, the kinetic energy loss of the air in the cone cylinder can be further reduced, thereby improving the air supply distance of the air outlet assembly 10.
[0116] Optionally, the two air guide protrusions 413 are respectively close to the two side edges of the plate body 410, one side edge of the air guide protrusion 413 serves as the first splicing part 414, and when the plurality of first baffles 400 are spliced, the air guide protrusions 413 of the two adjacent first baffles 400 are spliced.
[0117] The two air guide protrusions 413 of the plate body 410 are close to the two side edges, and the air guide protrusions 413 simultaneously serve as the structural reinforcement of the first plate body 410. When the plurality of first baffles 400 are spliced, the first baffles 400 are not easy to deform; when the air flows through the cone cylinder, the first baffles 400 are not easy to vibrate.
[0118] After the air guide protrusions 413 are close to the two side edges of the plate body 410, the air guide protrusions 413 are preferably flush with the side edges of the plate body 410. In this way, the plate body 410 is thicker at the side edges. The thickened side edges serve as the first splicing part 414, and when the plurality of first baffles 400 are spliced, in a first aspect, the first baffles 400 are not easy to deform due to mutual contact; in a second aspect, the thickness of the side edges of the plate body 410 is relatively large, and the two adjacent first baffles 400 are not easy to misalign or have a flash joint when spliced.

When the plurality of first baffles 400 move to the first position, the second ends of the plurality of first baffles 400 are gathered, so that the far focus air supply is realized. When the plurality of first baffles 400 move to the second position, the second ends of the plurality of first baffles 400 are scattered, so that the soft air supply in a large range is realized. When the plurality of first baffles 400 are between the first position and the second position, the sharp ends of the plurality of first baffles 400 play a role of disturbing flow, so that the sharp wedge flow disturbance air supply is realized.

Specifically, in the case that the fan rotating speed is unchanged, the cross section of the air outlet air duct is reduced, so that the air supply distance is increased and the wind feeling is enhanced; the cross section of the air outlet air duct is increased, so that the air supply distance is reduced and the wind feeling is weakened. The cross section of the air outlet air duct is adjustable, so that the air supply distance and the wind feeling strength can be adjusted without changing the fan rotating speed, and the means for changing the air outlet form is increased. If the fan rotating speed and the air duct cross section are adjusted at the same time, a larger range of adjustment for the air supply distance and the wind feeling strength can be realized.
