[0036] In the description of this embodiment, it should be understood that the terms "length", "width", "height", "up", "down", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "bottom", "inside", "outside", "front", "back", etc. indicate orientations or positional relationships based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the referred device or element must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be understood as a limitation on the present invention.

[0037] As a specific embodiment of the present invention, Figure 1-Figure 6 As shown, this embodiment discloses an air outlet duct 100, which may include an air inlet 102, an air outlet 110, and an air duct connected to the air inlet 102 and the air outlet 110, wherein at least one first baffle 120 is arranged in the air duct, and at least one first through hole 121 is arranged at each of the first baffles 120, and at least a portion of the outer periphery of each of the first baffles 120 is in contact with the inner wall of the air outlet duct 100.

[0038] Specifically, the air outlet duct 100 of this embodiment is provided with a first baffle 120 in the air duct, and the first baffle 120 is provided with a first through hole 121. At least part of the outer periphery of the first baffle 120 contacts the inner wall of the air outlet duct 100, so that the gas blown out from the air outlet duct 100 is uniform, thereby improving the user experience.

[0039] More specifically, the outer periphery of each of the first baffles 120 of the air outlet duct 100 of this embodiment is in contact with the side wall of the air outlet duct 100 where the air outlet 110 is not located.

[0040] Specifically, the outer periphery of the first baffle 120 of the present embodiment contacts the side wall where the non-air outlet 110 is located. On the one hand, it can block the gas blown in from the air inlet 102 so that it can be blown out from the air outlet 110. On the other hand, a certain gap is left on the side of the air outlet 110 so that the airflow can flow directly to the side away from the air inlet 102.

[0041] Specifically, the air outlet 110 of this embodiment is located at the side wall 170 of the air outlet duct 100 which is parallel to the extension direction, so that the direction of the finally blown air is perpendicular to the extension direction of the air outlet duct 100 .

[0042] Of course, as other embodiments, in order to meet different air outlet requirements, the air outlet 110 and the air outlet direction can be adaptively adjusted.

[0043] As a specific embodiment of the present invention, Figure 3-6As shown, the air inlet 102 of this embodiment is located on the left or right side, and the air outlet 110 is located on the front side, and the air inlet direction of the air inlet 102 is substantially perpendicular to the air outlet direction of the air outlet 110. The extension direction of the air outlet duct 100 is substantially parallel to the air inlet direction of the air inlet 102. The first baffle 120 is substantially perpendicular to the air inlet direction of the air inlet 102. At least one first through hole 121 is provided at each first baffle 120 of this embodiment, and at least part of the gas in the air outlet duct 100 passes through the first through hole 121 of the first baffle 120 and then blown out from the air outlet 110.

[0044] Specifically, at least one first baffle 120 is provided in the air outlet duct 100 of this embodiment to block the gas in the air outlet duct 100, preventing most or almost all of the gas in the air outlet duct 100 from being blown to the end of the air outlet duct 100 and then blown out from the air outlet 110, thereby avoiding uneven air output.

[0045] Preferably, in this embodiment, a plurality of first baffles 120 are disposed in the air outlet duct 100 , and the plurality of first baffles 120 are arranged at intervals along the extension direction of the air outlet duct 100 .

[0046] Specifically, along the extension direction of the air outlet duct 100 , a plurality of first baffles 120 are provided in the air outlet duct 100 to further optimize the air volume blown out from the air outlet 110 and further improve the uniformity of the air outlet.

[0047] As a specific embodiment of the present invention, the outer periphery of at least part of the first baffle 120 of this embodiment contacts the inner wall of the air outlet duct 100, thereby ensuring that all the gas flowing through the first baffle 120 passes through the first through hole 121 of the first baffle 120 and then flows to the rear.

[0048] Specifically, at least a portion of the outer periphery of each first baffle 120 contacts the inner wall of the air outlet duct 100 .

[0049] Specifically, the outer periphery of each first baffle 120 contacts the side wall 170 of the air outlet duct 100 where the air outlet is not located.

[0050] Specifically, the shape of the first through hole 121 of the present embodiment may be circular, elliptical, square, etc. Preferably, the shape of the first through hole 121 of the present embodiment is circular.

[0051] Preferably, all the first baffles 120 of this embodiment are arranged parallel to each other.

[0052] Preferably, all the first baffles 120 of the present embodiment are perpendicular to the extension direction of the air outlet duct 100 , and the shapes of all the first baffles 120 are substantially consistent with the cross-sectional shape of the side wall 170 of the air outlet duct 100 .

[0053] As a specific embodiment of the present invention, the ratio of the cross-section of the first through hole 121 of the first baffle 120 to the cross-sectional area of ​​the entire first baffle 120 gradually increases from the position of the air outlet duct 310 to the position away from the air inlet 102.

[0054] Specifically, since the wind speed is higher near the air inlet 102 and lower at a position away from the air outlet duct 310, such a design can ensure that the wind speed of the gas blown out from the air outlet duct 100 is equivalent at a position near the air inlet 102 and a position away from the air inlet 102, so that the blown gas has good uniformity and improves the user experience.

[0055] Specifically, the cross-sectional area of ​​the first through holes 121 of the first baffle 120 of the present embodiment may be changed by changing the number of the first through holes 121 or by changing the cross-sectional area of ​​each first through hole 121 .

[0056] As a specific embodiment of the present invention, the density of the first baffle 120 of this embodiment gradually decreases in a direction from a position close to the air inlet 102 to a position far away from the air inlet 102 .

[0057] Specifically, in this embodiment, the density of setting the number of first baffles 120 near the air inlet 102 is large, while the density of setting the number of first baffles 120 far from the air inlet 102 is small. In this way, the air flow speed near the air inlet 102 can be equivalent to the air flow speed far from the air inlet 102, thereby improving the uniformity of the gas blown out of the air outlet 110.

[0058] As a specific example, Figure 3-6 As shown, in this embodiment, the density of the first baffle 120 arranged at the air outlet duct 100 and the cross-sectional area of ​​the first through hole 121 at the first baffle 120 can be designed according to the situation, so that the uniformity of the gas at different positions of the air outlet 110 of the air outlet duct 100 is finally improved.

[0059] More specifically, the aperture size of the first through hole 121 at the first baffle 120 of the present embodiment is adjustable, and the total cross-section of the first through hole 121 at each first baffle 120 can be changed, thereby changing the ratio of the total cross-sectional area of ​​the first through hole 121 to the cross-sectional area of ​​the first baffle 120, thereby further improving the uniformity of the exhaust gas.

[0060] As another embodiment, the first baffle 120 of this embodiment can be set with different areas at different distances from the air inlet 102, so as to further increase the uniformity of air outlet.

[0061] As a specific embodiment of the present invention, a second baffle 130 is provided at the air outlet 110 of the air outlet duct 100 of this embodiment. The second baffle 130 is provided with at least one second through hole 131, and the gas of the air outlet duct 100 passes through the second through hole 131 before being blown out.

The third baffle 140 is located on the outside of the second baffle 130 so that the gas blown out from the second baffle 130 passes through the third baffle 140 and then blown out.

[0064] Specifically, in this embodiment, the gas blown out from the second baffle 130 further passes through the third baffle 140 before being blown out, thereby further improving the uniformity of the air output.

[0065] Specifically, the third baffle 140 of this embodiment can be designed as a filtering structure (such as Figure 1 and 2 As shown), a filter screen is arranged in the center of the frame structure to obtain the filtering structure of this embodiment.

[0066] As another specific embodiment, the third baffle 140 of this embodiment can be designed as a horizontal strip-shaped grid line structure (such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 The direction of the wind can be adjusted by adjusting the number and direction of the grid line structure.

Specifically, the aperture of the third through hole on the plate-like structure in this embodiment is large in the middle and small on the upper and lower sides (i.e., the two sides in the width direction).

[0068] Specifically, in this embodiment, a first baffle 120, a second baffle 130 and a third baffle 140 are arranged at the air outlet duct 100, and three levels of uniform wind are achieved through the three components, so that the gas blown out from the air outlet duct 100 has good uniformity and almost no wind feeling, thereby improving the user experience.

[0069] As a specific embodiment of the present invention, Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, the air outlet duct 100 of this embodiment is further provided with a wind shield 150 and wind guide mechanisms 160 located on both sides of the wind shield 150 at the air outlet 110 , and the wind guide mechanisms 160 guide the gas blown out of the air outlet 110 toward the direction away from the wind shield 150 .

[0070] Specifically, in this embodiment, a wind shield 150 and an air guiding mechanism 160 are disposed at the air outlet 110 of the air outlet duct 100. The wind shield 150 is located in the middle of the air outlet 110, and the air guiding mechanism 160 guides the gas blown out from the air outlet 110 to a position away from the middle, thereby preventing the wind in the gas blown out from the air outlet 110 from being blown directly toward the user, thereby improving the user experience.

[0071] Specifically, the air guiding mechanism 160 of the present embodiment may be rotatably connected to the pipe wall of the air outlet duct 100 , and the direction of the gas blown out from the air guiding mechanism 160 may be controlled by controlling the rotation of the air guiding mechanism 160 .

[0074] Specifically, the air outlet duct 100 of this embodiment may include a side wall 170, and the side wall 170 and the surface where the air outlet 110 is located form a structure with a triangular cross section. Specifically, the side wall 170 of this embodiment and the surface where the air outlet 110 is located form a right-angled triangle structure. The two side walls 170 can be installed on the wall to fix the air outlet duct 100 on the wall. As other embodiments, the cross section of the structure formed by the side wall 170 of this embodiment and the surface where the air outlet 110 is located can also be other shapes, such as a quadrilateral, a pentagon, etc., which can be specifically designed according to actual conditions.
