[0042] The term "and / or" is a description of the association relationship between objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B means: A or B, or, A and B.

[0043] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present disclosure may be combined with each other.

[0044] When the air conditioner is running in cooling and heating mode, the air outlet of the indoor unit is open. By rotating the air guide plate, only the air outlet direction can be adjusted, and the size of the air outlet cannot be adjusted. There are few adjustment means. In order to adjust the size of the air outlet, a wind supply mechanism and a wind guide device are disclosed in the related art, wherein the wind supply mechanism includes a plurality of long strip blades, a middle shell for installing the blades, and a driving device for driving the plurality of blades to move relative to each other; a sliding shaft and a rotating shaft are arranged on the side of one end of the blade; the rotating shaft is connected to the driving device and moves with the rotation of the driving device; a first ventilation hole connecting the air inlet side and the air outlet side of the air supply mechanism is opened on the middle shell, and a first sliding groove is opened on the middle shell corresponding to the sliding shaft around the first ventilation hole, and the sliding shaft is installed in the first sliding groove so that the plurality of blades are away from the end of the rotating shaft to form an air outlet around; the driving device drives the rotating shaft of the blade to move, and the blade rotates with the sliding shaft as the rotating shaft to adjust the size of the air outlet. The problem with the related art is that the plurality of long strip blades rotate in a plane, and the adjacent blades overlap at least partially, and the air flowing through the gaps at the overlapping positions will cause vibration and noise. In addition, during the rotation of the blades, the overlapping positions of the blades deform, and the blades need to deform to a certain extent during the rotation process, which also leads to the blades being thin and poor in rigidity, and prone to vibration.

[0045] In order to reduce the vibration and noise of the air conditioner when changing the size of the air outlet, Figure 1-11 As shown, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides an air outlet assembly, including a chassis 100, an air duct 200, a plurality of baffles 300 and a driving device, wherein the chassis 100 is provided with a first air outlet; the air duct 200, the first end of which is connected to the first air outlet; the plurality of baffles 300 are arranged at the second end of the air duct 200 and are located in the same plane, the plurality of baffles 300 can all slide along the radial direction of the air duct 200, when the plurality of baffles 300 all slide inwardly to the first position, they jointly block the second end of the air duct 200, and when the plurality of baffles 300 all slide outwardly to the second position, the second end of the air duct 200 is opened at the maximum opening; the driving device is used to drive the plurality of baffles 300 to slide between the first position and the second position.

[0046] In the disclosed embodiment, the air outlet assembly is installed on an air conditioning device such as a fan or air conditioner having an air outlet.

[0047] The first air outlet of the chassis 100 is used to connect with the air outlet of the preset installation position, and the first end of the air duct 200 connects with the first air outlet of the chassis 100 to achieve connection with the air outlet of the preset installation position.

[0048] The air duct 200 is in the shape of a hollow tube, and its cross section can be a polygon such as a rectangle, and the preferred embodiment is a circle.

[0049] The plurality of baffles 300 are located in the same plane, that is, they will not overlap under any circumstances. For example, the plane shape of the baffle 300 is a fan-shaped, so that the plurality of baffles 300 can be assembled into a circular baffle. The plurality of baffles 300 are arranged at the second end of the air duct 200 and can all move along the radial direction of the air duct 200. The baffles 300 are distributed along the plurality of radial lines of the second end of the air duct 200, and when sliding, they also gather or spread along the plurality of radial lines of the second end of the air duct 200. In this way, the gathering speed and opening speed of the plurality of first baffles 300 can be increased.

[0050] When the plurality of baffles 300 are all moved inward to the first position, they are assembled into a closed baffle, thereby blocking the second end of the air duct 200. When the plurality of baffles 300 are all moved outward to the second position, the projection of the plane where the second end of the air duct 200 is located is located outside the second end of the air duct 200, so that the second end of the air duct 200 is opened at the maximum opening, that is, the air outlet assembly is opened at the maximum opening.

[0051] It should be noted that when the plurality of baffles 300 are located between the first position and the second position, the air outlet assembly is opened at an opening less than the maximum opening of the air outlet assembly. The movement of the plurality of baffles 300 between the first position and the second position can not only change the opening and closing of the air outlet assembly, but also continuously change the opening of the air outlet assembly through the continuous movement of the plurality of baffles 300. In addition, the portions of the plurality of baffles 300 located within the second end of the air duct 200 as a plurality of tips can disturb the air blown out of the air duct 200, thereby improving the temperature uniformity of the air outlet and making the wind feel softer.

[0052] The driving device is used to drive the plurality of baffles 300 to slide between the first position and the second position. The driving device can automatically control the opening and closing of the air outlet assembly and the opening degree, which is convenient for users.

[0053] The air outlet assembly provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure is provided with a plurality of baffles 300 which are slidably arranged, and the opening and closing as well as the opening degree of the air outlet assembly can be controlled by the movement of the baffles 300; the plurality of baffles 300 are located in the same plane, and all slide along the radial direction of the air duct 200, and adjacent baffles 300 do not overlap, and the baffles 300 have strong rigidity and are not prone to vibration; when the plurality of baffles 300 are located between the first position and the second position, the tip portion of the baffle is located on the air outlet path of the air duct 200 to perform a sharp spoiler, which can change the size of the air outlet by the baffle and also play a sharp spoiler role, thereby improving the temperature uniformity of the air outlet and making the wind feel softer.

[0054] Optionally, the driving device includes a driving ring 410, which is sleeved on the air duct 200 and can move along the axial direction of the air duct 200. The driving ring 410 is inclined to open a plurality of driving holes 413 corresponding to the plurality of baffles 300. Each baffle 300 is inclined to be provided with a driving pin 310. When the driving ring 410 moves along the axial direction of the air duct 200, the driving pin 310 drives the plurality of baffles 300 to move radially along the air duct 200.

[0055] The driving ring 410 is used to provide an installation position for the baffle 300 and drive the baffle 300 to slide. Specifically, a driving pin 310 is extended on one side of the baffle 300 facing the air duct 200, and the driving pin 310 is arranged obliquely. The extension of the driving pin 310 is generally along the axial direction of the air duct 200 and forms a first angle with the axial line of the air duct 200. The driving ring 410 is provided with a driving hole 413 corresponding to the driving pins 310 of a plurality of baffles 300, and the driving hole 413 is arranged obliquely, and the extension direction of the driving pin 310 is generally along the circumference of the air duct 200 and forms a first angle with the axial line of the air duct 200. The driving ring 410 can move along the axial direction of the air duct 200. When the driving ring 410 moves toward the second end of the air duct 200, the driving pin 310 slides in the driving hole 413, thereby driving the baffle to move outward. When the driving ring 410 moves toward the first end of the air duct 200 , the driving pin 310 and the driving hole 413 slide relative to each other, thereby driving the baffle to gather inward.

[0056] With such a configuration, the drive ring 410 can achieve the fixing of the plurality of baffles 300 and the driving of the plurality of baffles 300 at the same time. The drive ring 410 moves along the circumferential direction of the air duct 200, and the space required for driving is small. The movement of the drive ring 410 along the axial direction of the air duct 200 is converted into the movement of the plurality of baffles 300 along the radial direction of the air duct 200. The transmission ratio of the plurality of baffles 300 can be changed by setting the size of the first angle, so that the movement of the plurality of baffles 300 is more precise.

[0057] In order to realize the driving of the driving ring 410, as an optional implementation form, the driving device includes a plurality of lifting mechanisms 420, and the plurality of lifting mechanisms 420 are distributed along the circumference of the air duct 200. The first end of the lifting mechanism 420 is connected to the chassis 100, and the second end is connected to the driving ring 410. When the plurality of lifting mechanisms 420 are extended or retracted, they drive the driving ring 410 to move axially along the air duct 200.

[0058] The length of the lifting mechanism 420 itself can be changed under control. Multiple lifting mechanisms 420 are arranged along the circumference of the air duct 200, so that each position of the drive ring 410 can be evenly stressed and move synchronously, thereby preventing the drive ring 410 from tilting and getting stuck. Specifically, one end of the lifting mechanism 420 is connected to the drive ring 410, and the other end is connected to the chassis 100. When the lifting mechanism 420 is extended, it drives the drive ring 410 to move toward the second end of the air duct 200, and when the lifting mechanism 420 is retracted, it drives the drive ring 410 to move toward the first end of the air duct 200. With such a setting, the driving form is simple and reliable. Exemplarily, the lifting mechanism 420 is a hydraulic cylinder, a cylinder or a screw structure.

[0059] Optionally, the air duct 200 is configured with an external thread, the drive ring 410 is configured with an internal thread, and the air duct 200 is rotatably disposed on the chassis 100 , and when the air duct 200 rotates, the drive ring 410 is driven to move along the circumference of the air duct 200 .

[0060] The air duct 200 is rotatably arranged on the chassis 100. The outer ring of the air duct 200 is configured with an external thread, and the drive ring 410 is configured with an internal thread. The drive tube is screwed to the air duct 200. When the air duct 200 rotates, the drive ring 410 remains at the initial angle. When the air duct 200 rotates in both directions, the air duct 200 moves in both directions along the axial direction of the drive ring 410. In this form, the drive ring 410 and the air duct 200 can be regarded as a screw structure. The drive ring 410 is screwed to the air duct 200, and the drive ring 410 can maintain good straightness during the movement. For every rotation of the air duct 200, the drive ring 410 moves one pitch. In this way, on the one hand, the torque of the rotation of the air duct 200 can be amplified, and on the other hand, the movement control of the multiple baffles 300 in the air outlet area can be made more precise.

[0061] Optionally, the driving device includes a gear ring 430, a driving motor 440 and a driving gear, wherein the gear ring 430 is arranged on the outer ring of the air duct 200; the driving motor 440 is fixed to the chassis 100; the driving gear is transmission-connected to the output shaft of the driving motor 440, and when the driving gear rotates, the air duct 200 is driven to rotate through the gear ring 430.

[0062] In order to drive the air duct 200 to rotate, the driving device includes a gear ring 430, a driving motor 440 and a driving gear. The gear ring 430 is sleeved on the outer ring of the air duct 200 and is fixedly connected to the air duct 200. The gear ring 430 is concentric and coaxial with the air duct 200. When the gear ring 430 rotates in both directions, the air duct 200 is driven to rotate in both directions. The driving gear is connected to the output shaft of the driving motor 440 and meshes with the gear ring 430. The driving motor 440 rotates in both directions, driving the driving gear to rotate, thereby driving the gear ring 430 to rotate. The gear ring 430 rotates, driving the air duct 200 to rotate, thereby driving the driving ring 410 to move along the circumference of the air duct 200. The driving ring 410 moves along the circumference of the air duct 200, and the driving pins 310 of the multiple baffles slide in the sliding groove of the driving ring 410, thereby driving the multiple baffles 300 to move along the radial direction of the air duct 200. With such a setting form, the number of motors required for the driving device is small, and the cost of the air outlet component is low.

[0063] Optionally, the drive ring 410 includes a connecting portion 411 and a threaded portion 412. The connecting portion 411 is provided with an avoidance hole, and the air duct 200 is inserted into the avoidance hole; the threaded portion 412 extends along the circumference of the air duct 200 at the outer circle of the avoidance hole, and the inner circle of the threaded portion 412 is configured with an internal thread.

[0064] The connection portion 411 is used to connect the plurality of baffles 300 and realize driving the plurality of baffles 300. The connection portion 411 is arranged in a direction parallel to the plane where the second end of the air duct 200 is located, and the threaded portion 412 extends along the axial direction of the air duct 200. With such an arrangement, the threaded portion 412 extends along the axial direction of the air duct 200 for a longer distance, and the drive ring 410 and the air duct 200 can be more firmly screwed.

[0065] Optionally, the first end of the air duct 200 is configured with a flange 210, the gear ring 430 and the flange 210 form a rotation space, and the chassis 100 is embedded in the rotation space.

[0066] The flange 210 of the air duct 200 extends from the first end of the air duct 200 along the radial direction of the air duct 200, and the flange 210 of the air duct 200 can be regarded as the flange of the air duct 200. The gear ring 430 is sleeved on the air duct 200 and is a certain distance away from the flange 210 of the air duct 200. In this way, a ring-shaped rotation space is formed between the gear ring 430 and the flange 210. The chassis 100 is embedded in the rotation space. When the chassis 100 is fixed, the gear ring 430 and the flange 210 jointly fix the air duct 200 at the installation position. In addition, during the rotation of the air duct 200, the chassis 100 acts as a track bar, and the rotation of the air duct 200 is realized by the rotation of the gear ring 430 and the flange 210 relative to the chassis 100. With such a setting form, on the one hand, the air duct 200 can be fixed and rotated, and on the other hand, the chassis 100 is embedded in the rotation space to reduce the air leakage of the first end of the air duct 200.

[0067] Optionally, the chassis 100 includes a snap-fitting portion 120 and a clamping portion 130, the clamping portion 130 is provided with a first air outlet and is embedded in the rotation space, the snap-fitting portion 120 extends radially along the air duct 200 along a side of the snap-fitting portion 130 away from the air duct 200, the snap-fitting portion 120 and the clamping portion 130 define a snap-fitting space, and the flange 210 of the air duct 200 is located in the snap-fitting space.

[0068] With such a configuration, when the air outlet assembly is fixed at a preset installation position through the chassis 100, the flange 210 of the air duct 200 is not likely to interfere with other structures at the preset installation position, and when the air duct 200 is rotated, the flange 210 is not likely to rub against other structures at the preset installation position. In addition, the provision of the buckle 120 can further reduce air leakage at the first end of the air duct 200.

[0069] Optionally, the driving device further includes a guide column 600 , which extends along the circumference of the air duct 200 . The driving ring 410 is provided with a guide hole 414 , and the guide column 600 extends into the guide hole 414 .

[0070] In order to prevent the driving ring 410 from rotating with the air duct 200 when the air duct 200 rotates, the driving device is further provided with a guide column 600. The guide column 600 extends from the chassis 100 along the axial direction of the air duct 200 toward the second end of the air duct 200. The driving ring 410 is provided with a guide hole 414 corresponding to the guide column 600, and the guide column 600 penetrates into the guide hole 414. When the air duct 200 rotates, the guide column 600 can place the driving ring 410 to rotate with the air duct 200, thereby limiting the movement of the driving ring 410 to the axial direction of the air duct 200. With such a setting form, the reliability of the operation of the air outlet assembly can be further improved.

[0071] Optionally, the guide column is fixed to the chassis and extends from the chassis along the radial direction of the air duct.

[0072] With such a configuration, the air outlet assembly can be disassembled and assembled as a whole, which facilitates the assembly of the air outlet assembly.

[0073] Optionally, the guide column is fixed at a preset installation position, and extends from the preset installation position along the radial direction of the air duct.

[0074] With such a setting, the guide column plays a positioning and pre-fixing role when installing the air outlet assembly, which is conducive to assembling the air outlet assembly at a preset installation position.

[0075] Optionally, the driving device includes a plurality of guide columns 600 , and the plurality of guide columns 600 are distributed along the circumference of the air duct 200 , and the driving ring 410 is provided with a plurality of guide holes 414 corresponding to the plurality of guide columns 600 .

[0076] This arrangement can prevent the drive ring 410 from being tilted when rotating relative to the air duct 200 and causing excessive local pressure.

[0077] Optionally, the air outlet assembly further includes a cover plate, which has a second air outlet. The second end of the air duct 200 faces the second air outlet and forms a sliding space with the second end of the air duct 200. A plurality of baffles 300 are slidably disposed in the sliding space.

[0078] The cover plate, the drive ring 410 and the air duct 200 jointly fix the multiple baffles 300. Specifically, the second end of the air duct 200 faces the second air outlet, and the air flowing through the air duct 200 is blown out through the second air outlet. The second end of the air duct 200 is at a preset distance from the cover plate, and a sliding space is formed between the second end of the air duct 200 and the cover plate. Multiple baffles 300 are arranged in the sliding space, and the second end of the air duct 200 and the cover plate limit the movement of the multiple baffles 300 along the axial direction of the air duct 200. The drive ring 410 limits the movement of the multiple baffles 300 in the plane where the second end of the air duct 200 is located through the drive hole 413 and the drive pin 310. With such a setting, the fixing effect of the air outlet component on the multiple baffles 300 can be improved.

[0079] Optionally, the cross section of the driving hole 413 is elliptical, and the cross section of the driving pin 310 is elliptical.

[0080] With such a configuration, the driving pin 310 can only slide in the driving hole 413 along the length direction of the driving hole 413, and cannot rotate in the driving hole 413. This can effectively prevent the blocking piece 300 from rotating around the driving pin 310, thereby improving the reliability of the blocking piece 300 when sliding.

[0081] Optionally, the cross section of the driving hole 413 is a prism, and the cross section of the driving pin 310 is a prism corresponding to the cross section of the driving hole 413 .

[0082] With such a configuration, the driving pin 310 can only slide in the driving hole 413 along the length direction of the driving hole 413, and cannot rotate in the driving hole 413. This can also effectively prevent the blocking piece 300 from rotating around the driving pin 310, thereby improving the reliability of the blocking piece 300 when sliding.

[0083] Optionally, a sliding rib 320 is configured on an outward side of the plurality of baffles 300 , and a sliding track 510 is configured on an inward side of the cover plate, and the sliding ribs 320 of the plurality of baffles 300 slide along the sliding track 510 .

[0084] A sliding track 510 is configured on the inner side of the cover plate, and the sliding ribs 320 of the baffle 300 slide in the sliding track 510. With such a configuration, when the baffle 300 moves along the radial direction of the air duct 200, its movement is limited by the sliding track 510 to a radial line of the air duct 200. This helps the multiple baffles 300 to maintain a preset angle when moving along the air duct 200, prevents the baffles 300 from rotating around the driving pin 310, and further improves the reliability of the sliding of the baffles 300.

[0085] Combination Fig.10 , 11 As shown, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides an air conditioner, comprising the above-mentioned air outlet assembly 10.

[0086] When using the air conditioner provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, the air outlet assembly 10 is slidably provided with a plurality of baffles 300, and the opening and closing and the opening degree of the air outlet assembly 10 can be controlled by the movement of the baffles 300; the plurality of baffles 300 are located in the same plane, and all slide along the radial direction of the air duct 200, and adjacent baffles 300 do not overlap, and the baffles 300 are relatively rigid and not prone to vibration; when the plurality of baffles 300 are located between the first position and the second position, the tip part of the blade is located on the air outlet path of the air duct 200 to perform a wedge turbulence, which can change the size of the air outlet through the blade and also play a wedge turbulence role, thereby improving the temperature uniformity of the air outlet and making the wind feel softer.

[0087] Optionally, the guide column extends from the fan box along the radial direction of the air duct.

[0088] This makes the assembly of the air outlet component more convenient.

[0089] Optionally, the air conditioner includes a shell 20, a fan box 30 and the above-mentioned air outlet assembly 10, wherein the shell 20 is configured with an accommodating space; the fan box 30 is arranged in the accommodating space, and the fan box 30 and the shell 20 form a sandwich; the above-mentioned air outlet assembly 10 is arranged in the sandwich.

[0090] The air outlet static pressure of the air conditioner can be increased by the independently arranged fan box 30, which is beneficial to increase the air supply volume and increase the air supply distance of the air conditioner. The air outlet assembly 10 is arranged in the interlayer, and is used to guide the air blown out of the fan box 30 to the air outlet of the housing 20 at a certain angle. The movement of the baffle 300 of the air outlet assembly 10 is neither carried out inside the fan box 30 nor outside the housing 20, and the movement of each moving part of the air outlet assembly 10 is not easily interfered.
