[0068] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present application can be combined with each other. The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with the embodiments.

[0069] like Figures 1 to 9 As shown, the first embodiment of the present invention provides a grille structure, which includes a low-speed ventilation part 10 and a high-speed ventilation part 20 connected to each other, and the high-speed ventilation part 20 is arranged around the outer edge of the low-speed ventilation part 10; the low-speed ventilation part 10 includes a plurality of first annular ribs 11 arranged at intervals along the radial direction of the grille structure and a plurality of first radial ribs 12 arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the grille structure, and the first radial ribs 12 are connected to the plurality of first annular ribs 11; the high-speed ventilation part 20 includes a plurality of second annular ribs 21 arranged at intervals along the radial direction of the grille structure and a plurality of second radial ribs 22 arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the grille structure, and the second radial ribs 22 are connected to the plurality of second annular ribs 21. Wherein, the grille structure has a windward side and a leeward side arranged oppositely; as shown in FIG. Figure 1 As shown, on the windward side, the low-speed ventilation part 10 is arranged to protrude from the high-speed ventilation part 20.

[0070] By adopting the grille structure provided in this embodiment, the high-speed ventilation part 20 is arranged on a side farther from the windward side than the low-speed ventilation part 10, so that the inlet attack angle of the high-speed ventilation part 20 can be reduced, especially the inlet attack angle of the second radial rib 22 can be reduced, and the impact loss and interference separation noise can be reduced. Therefore, the problem that the air outlet grille in the prior art usually causes a large noise can be solved.

[0071] In this embodiment, the annular distribution density of the plurality of second radial ribs 22 is greater than the annular distribution density of the plurality of first radial ribs 12. The first radial ribs 12 of the inner layer adopt a low-density weak straightening rib design, which is adapted to the low-speed turbulent airflow of the inner layer, suppresses the scale and strength of the rib tail vortex shedding, reduces noise and increases air volume. The second radial ribs 22 of the outer layer adopt a high-density strong straightening rib design, which is adapted to comb the high-speed rotating airflow of the outer layer, reduces wind resistance and increases air volume.

[0072] Preferably, the outer high-speed ventilation part 20 and the inner low-speed ventilation part 10 in this embodiment are designed independently. The outer straight grille adopts a high-density strong straightening rib design, which is suitable for combing the outer high-speed rotating airflow, reducing wind resistance and increasing air volume; the inner arc grille adopts a low-density weak straightening rib design, which is suitable for the inner low-speed turbulent airflow, suppressing the scale and strength of the rib tail vortex shedding, reducing noise and increasing air volume.

[0073] The maximum spacing between two adjacent second radial ribs 22 is smaller than the minimum spacing between two adjacent first radial ribs 12 , so that the annular distribution density of the plurality of second radial ribs 22 is greater than the annular distribution density of the plurality of first radial ribs 12 .

[0074] Specifically, the projections of the outer edge of the grille structure and the outer edge of the low-speed ventilation part 10 on the axial vertical plane of the grille structure are both circular, the projection of the inner side of the outer edge of the low-speed ventilation part 10 on the axial vertical plane corresponds to a diameter D1, and the projection of the inner side of the outer edge of the grille structure on the axial vertical plane corresponds to a diameter D2, 0.58≤D1 / D2≤0.88. Specifically, through such an arrangement, it is convenient to better make the low-speed ventilation part 10 and the high-speed ventilation part have a suitable range, so as to better reduce noise and reduce wind resistance.

[0075] It should be noted that “the inner side of the outer edge of the low-speed ventilation part 10” can be understood as the inner side of the annular ribs at the outer edge of the low-speed ventilation part 10. “The inner side of the outer edge of the grille structure” can be understood as the inner side of the annular ribs at the outer edge of the grille structure.

[0076] Specifically, the grille structure is arranged opposite to the fan blade, the plurality of second radial ribs 22 are bent along a preset direction, and the rotation direction formed by the plurality of second radial ribs 22 is the same as the rotation direction of the fan blade, so as to better reduce noise and wind resistance.

[0077] The projection of the second radial rib 22 on the axial vertical plane of the grid structure forms a second radial characteristic line 220, and the second radial characteristic line 220 is a two-dimensional spiral line, so as to better guide the high-speed airflow and reduce the wind noise.

[0078] like Figure 2 As shown, the projection of the first radial rib 12 on the axial vertical plane of the grid structure forms a first radial characteristic line 120, and the first radial characteristic line 120 includes a first arc segment 121 and a second arc segment 122 connected and arranged; wherein the first arc segment 121 and the second arc segment 122 have opposite bending directions, so as to better adapt to the turbulent airflow in the low-speed area.

[0079] The first arc segment 121 is located on the side of the second arc segment 122 away from the high-speed ventilation portion 20, and the bending direction of the first arc segment 121 is the same as the bending direction of the second radial characteristic line 220 formed by the projection of the second radial rib 22 on the axial vertical plane of the grid structure. In this way, it is convenient to form a back-and-forth bending rotation direction through the second radial rib 22, the second arc segment 122 and the first arc segment 121 arranged in sequence, so as to better adapt to the flow direction of the airflow at different positions, facilitate better guidance of the airflow, facilitate better air discharge, and reduce the air discharge noise.

[0080] The first arc segment 121 and the second arc segment 122 are tangent to each other at the connection point to facilitate a smooth transition, thereby avoiding the influence of sudden changes in the structure on the airflow.

[0081] In this embodiment, the low-speed ventilation portion 10 further includes a third radial rib 13 . The third radial rib 13 is disposed between two adjacent first radial ribs 12 and is spaced apart from the two adjacent first radial ribs 12 .

[0082] The radial length of the third radial rib 13 in the grid structure is less than the radial length of the first radial rib 12 in the grid structure, so as to reduce production costs and better adapt to the airflow characteristics of the low-speed zone, and also to reduce resistance, increase air flow area, reduce material costs, and reduce noise. Specifically, the number of the first radial ribs 12 can be between 10 and 20, and the number of the third radial ribs 13 is set in one-to-one correspondence with the number of the first radial ribs 12.

[0083] The third radial rib 13 is located on the side of the low-speed ventilation part 10 close to the high-speed ventilation part 20, so as to effectively guide the higher-speed airflow on the side of the low-speed ventilation part 10 close to the high-speed ventilation part 20, adapt to the flow of the higher-speed airflow, and reduce noise.

[0084] like Figure 3As shown, in this embodiment, the low-speed ventilation part 10 has a third radial characteristic line 14 in the cross section along the axis of the grille structure, and the third radial characteristic line 14 is an arc connecting segment; the high-speed ventilation part 20 has a fourth radial characteristic line 23 in the cross section along the axis of the grille structure, and the fourth radial characteristic line 23 is a straight connecting segment. In this way, the third radial characteristic line 14 can facilitate the slow transition of the low-speed ventilation part 10 at a position close to the high-speed ventilation part 20, thereby avoiding the situation where the sudden change causes a greater impact on the airflow, and further reducing the situation where the noise caused by the greater impact of the airflow is greater.

[0085] Specifically, the length of the fourth radial characteristic line 23 may be (D2-D1) / 2, so as to better optimize the size of the fourth radial characteristic line 23, thereby facilitating better guiding of the outlet air.

[0086] In addition, by setting the fourth radial characteristic line 23 as a straight connecting segment, it is also convenient to reduce the situation where the axial dimension at the high-speed ventilation part 20 is too large, which is convenient for high-speed air discharge, reduces the high-speed air discharge resistance, and thus reduces noise. The above-mentioned straight connecting segment can be a direction completely perpendicular to the axial direction or a direction inclined at a predetermined angle to the axial direction, and the inclined direction can be an inclination at a small angle (between 0° and 30°). Preferably, the straight segment in this embodiment is completely perpendicular to the axial direction, so that the high-speed ventilation part 20 forms a flat structure, which is convenient for high-speed air discharge, reduces the air discharge resistance, and thus better reduces the air discharge noise.

[0087] Specifically, the arc connecting segment includes a third arc segment 141 and a fourth arc segment 142 that are connected to each other.

[0088] The bending directions of the third arc segment 141 and the fourth arc segment 142 are opposite to each other, so that the airflow can be effectively guided and directed through the third arc segment 141 and the fourth arc segment 142 to better discharge the air.

[0089] The third arc segment 141 and the fourth arc segment 142 are tangent at the connection, which facilitates a smooth transition between the third arc segment 141 and the fourth arc segment 142 at the connection and avoids a situation where the third arc segment 141 and the fourth arc segment 142 have large changes at the connection and affect the smooth flow of airflow.

[0090] In this embodiment, the maximum spacing between two adjacent second radial ribs 22 is t1, 9mm≤t1≤10.5mm; and / or the maximum spacing between two adjacent first annular ribs 11 is t2, 9mm≤t2≤10.5mm. By reasonably setting the values ​​of t1 and t2, the wind resistance and noise can be reduced as much as possible while ensuring that the grille meets the corresponding safety requirements.

[0091] In this embodiment, the projection of the second radial rib 22 on the axial vertical plane of the grid structure is a two-dimensional spiral; the curve of the two-dimensional spiral on the axial vertical plane should satisfy the following formula:

[0092] R = A + B * T, A = 0.5 * D1; B = 0.5 * (D2 - D1); β = ±(C + D * T), 0 ≤ T ≤ 1;

[0093] Wherein, R represents the radial distribution law of the curve, β represents the circumferential distribution law of the curve, A represents the starting position of the spiral in the R direction, B represents the radius increment of the starting point of the spiral in the R direction, C represents the initial phase of the spiral in the β direction, D represents the increment of the spiral in the β direction, D1 is the diameter corresponding to the projection of the inner side of the outer edge of the low-speed ventilation part 10 on the axial vertical plane, and D2 is the diameter corresponding to the projection of the inner side of the outer edge of the grid structure on the axial vertical plane. With such a setting, it is convenient to better optimize the shape of the second radial rib 22, so as to better guide through the second radial rib 22 and better reduce noise.

[0094] Specifically, C in this embodiment can be set to 90°. Considering that the array of radial rib bars is completely axisymmetric about the axis, the initial phase is not important. The value range of D is actually restricted by the value of t1. The larger D is, the longer the outer radial rib bar (corresponding to the second radial rib) is, and the greater the wind resistance is; when D is smaller, it is closer to the length of the radial straight line passing through the center of the circle (the straight line pointing from D1 to D2). Among them, the value range of D can be [0.01 * 360, 0.15 * 360].

[0095] Specifically, the projection of the first radial rib 12 on the axial vertical plane of the grid structure forms a first radial feature line 120, and the central angle corresponding to both ends of the first radial feature line 120 is α, 5° ≤ α ≤ 50°; and / or, the projection of the second radial rib 22 on the axial vertical plane of the grid structure forms a second radial feature line 220, and the central angle corresponding to both ends of the second radial feature line 220 is γ, 5° ≤ γ ≤ 25°. By setting within a reasonable parameter range, the outer high-speed rotating airflow can be combed through the high-density radial rib bars, making it more conform to the air outlet angle, and at the same time further enhancing the strength of the outer grid structure. Furthermore, the number of annular rib bars that do not match the airflow direction can be reduced, effectively reducing wind resistance and suppressing the noise radiation level.

[0096] The grid structure further includes an outer frame 30 and an inner cover 40. The outer frame 30 is arranged around the outer periphery of the high-speed ventilation part 20, and the width of the outer frame 30 in the axial direction of the grid structure is T1; the low-speed ventilation part 10 is arranged around the outer periphery of the inner cover 40, and the width of the inner cover 40 in the axial direction of the grid structure is T2, and T2 < T1. And the preferred range of T2 / T1 is [0.3, 0.5].

[0097] Such as Fig. 9As shown, the radial cross-section of the first radial rib 12 and / or the radial surface of the second radial rib 22 is a streamlined cross-section, which has an arc edge 51 facing the windward side and rib edges 52 respectively located on both sides of the arc edge 51, the radius corresponding to the arc edge 51 is r, and the length of the rib edge 52 is l.

[0098] Wherein, r=a+b*t, 0.5mm≤a≤1mm, 0.2mm≤b≤1mm, 0≤t≤1; and / or,

[0099] I=c+d*t, 4mm≤c≤7mm, 2mm≤d≤5mm, 0≤t≤1.

[0100] By setting appropriate parameter ranges of radial ribs (the radial ribs here refer to the first radial ribs 12 or the second radial ribs 22) and their variation patterns, the actual airflow direction at the fan blade outlet can be highly matched, impact losses can be effectively controlled, wind resistance can be reduced, air volume can be increased, and noise can be reduced at the same time.

[0101] The width of the streamlined section gradually increases from one end of the streamlined section close to the grid structure to the end of the streamlined section far from the grid structure, so as to adapt to the flow of airflow and facilitate guiding the airflow.

[0102] Specifically, the second radial rib 22 has a first radial section (corresponding to a streamlined section) at one end close to the first radial rib 12, and the second radial rib 22 has a second radial section (corresponding to a streamlined section) at one end away from the first radial rib 12; the first radial section has a first arc edge facing the windward side and first rib edges respectively located on both sides of the first arc edge, the radius corresponding to the first arc edge is r1, and the length of the first rib edge is l1; the second radial section has a second arc edge facing the windward side and second rib edges respectively located on both sides of the second arc edge, and the radius corresponding to the second arc edge is r2 , the length of the second rib side is l2; the first radial rib 12 has a third radial section at the end away from the second radial rib 22, and the first radial rib 12 has a fourth radial section at the end close to the second radial rib 22; the third radial section has a third arc side facing the windward side and third rib sides respectively located on both sides of the third arc side, the radius corresponding to the third arc side is r3, and the length of the third rib side is l3; the fourth radial section has a fourth arc side facing the windward side and fourth rib sides respectively located on both sides of the fourth arc side, the radius corresponding to the fourth arc side is r4, and the length of the fourth rib side is l4.

[0103] Among them, r2>r1; and / or, l2>l1; and / or, r4>r3; and / or, l4>l3.

[0104] By adopting such a size setting, by setting the appropriate parameter range of the first radial rib 12 and the second radial rib 22 and their variation rules, the actual airflow direction of the fan blade outlet can be highly fitted, the impact loss can be effectively controlled, the wind resistance can be reduced, the air volume can be increased, and the noise can be reduced.

[0105] like Fig. 9 As shown, the angle between the radial rib and the axial vertical plane of the grid structure is the installation angle θ. Specifically, θ can be understood as the angle between the symmetry axis of the radial rib (the two rib sides of the radial rib are symmetric with respect to the symmetry axis of the radial rib) and the axial vertical plane.

[0106] Specifically, when the radial rib is the second radial rib 22, the corresponding angle between the second radial rib 22 and the axial vertical plane of the grid structure is the first installation angle θ1; when the radial rib is the first radial rib 12, the angle between the first radial rib 12 and the axial vertical plane of the grid structure is the second installation angle θ2.

[0107] Specifically, the second radial rib 22 (corresponding to the outer grille) has a first installation angle θ1 with a vertical plane of the grille structure, 65°≤θ1≤85°. By setting a suitable radial rib parameter range and its variation rule, the actual airflow direction of the fan blade outlet can be highly matched, the impact loss can be effectively controlled, the wind resistance can be reduced, the air volume can be increased, and the noise can be reduced. Specifically, the distribution rule of the first installation angle is as follows: Fig.10 shown.

[0108] Specifically, there is a second installation angle θ2 between the first radial rib 12 (corresponding to the inner grille) and the axial vertical plane of the grille structure, 40°≤θ2≤80°. By setting a suitable radial rib parameter range and its variation law, the actual airflow direction of the fan blade outlet can be highly matched, the impact loss can be effectively controlled, the wind resistance can be reduced, the air volume can be increased, and the noise can be reduced. Specifically, the distribution law of the first installation angle is as follows: Fig.11 The test results of the grid structure provided in this embodiment are shown in Fig.12 and 13 shown.

[0109] According to another aspect of the present invention, an air conditioner outdoor unit is provided. The air conditioner outdoor unit comprises an outdoor unit housing and the grille structure provided in the above embodiment. An air outlet is arranged on the outdoor unit housing; and the grille structure is installed at the air outlet.

[0110] From the above description, it can be seen that the above embodiments of the present invention achieve the following technical effects: reduce the air volume attenuation amplitude induced by the air outlet grille of the air conditioner outdoor unit and suppress its high noise radiation level. Through the independent design of the new inner and outer double-layer grilles, the design of the axial distribution law of the grilles and the design of the variable swept section of the radial ribs, the required air volume is achieved with or without the grille: the air volume attenuation at the same speed is 3.32%, and the noise increase is about 2.2dB. The grille wind noise performance of the existing air conditioner outdoor unit is effectively improved.
