[0075] Reference below Figure 1-Figure 36 The air outlet device 100 of the air conditioner according to the embodiment of the present invention is described.

[0076] like Figure 1-Figure 36 As shown, the air outlet device 100 of the air conditioner according to the embodiment of the present invention includes: an air guide ring assembly 10 and an air guide plate assembly 40, the air guide plate assembly 40 is arranged on the air guide ring assembly 10, the air guide plate assembly 40 can have a guide member 513, the air guide ring assembly 10 can have a guide hole 2212, or the air guide plate assembly 40 can have a guide hole 2212, the air guide ring assembly 10 can have a guide member 513, and a plurality of guide members 513 are plugged and matched with a plurality of guide holes 2212 in a one-to-one correspondence, so that the air guide plate assembly 40 and the air guide ring assembly 10 can move relative to each other.

[0077] An air guide port is formed between two adjacent guide members 513. Figure 1 The first air guide port 401 is shown, and the following is a specific description taking the first air guide port 401 as an example.

[0078] The first air guide port 401 is connected to the outside, which is beneficial for the guide member 513 to guide the flow direction of the airflow in the first air guide port 401 and prevent the airflow from diffusing out, thereby improving the air supply effect of the air outlet device 100 .

[0079] The guide member 513 can move relative to the guide hole 2212, so that the air guide plate assembly 40 can move in a direction away from the air guide ring assembly 10 (such as Figure 1 The air guide plate assembly 40 can move toward the direction close to the air guide ring assembly 10 (as shown in the figure). Figure 1 The first air guide port 401 is moved from front to back as shown in the figure to close the first air guide port 401.

[0080] According to the air outlet device 100 of the air conditioner according to the embodiment of the present invention, by providing a guide member 513, when the air guide plate assembly 40 and the air guide ring assembly 10 move relative to each other, the guide member 513 cooperates with the guide hole 2212, and the guide member 513 can guide the movement direction of the air guide plate assembly 40 to prevent the air guide plate assembly 40 and the air guide ring assembly 10 from rotating and misaligning during the movement, thereby improving the stability of the relative movement of the air guide plate assembly 40 and the air guide ring assembly 10; and the guide member 513 can play a role in guiding the airflow to the air guide port, thereby improving the air supply effect of the air outlet device 100 and improving the user experience.

[0081] like Fig.10 As shown, according to some embodiments of the present invention, the guide member 513 can form a guide plate, which can play a role in guiding the airflow.

[0082] In some examples, each guide plate has an opposing first side (eg, Fig.10 The inner side shown) and the second side (as shown Fig.10 The first side is located on the side of the second side in the circumferential direction of the air guide plate assembly 40, and the first side is closer to the center of the air guide plate assembly 40 relative to the second side.

[0083] That is, in the direction from inside to outside, the guide plate extends obliquely along the circumference of the air guide plate assembly 40, so that the air supply direction of the first air guide port 401 is offset from the center of the air guide plate assembly 40, preventing the air supply air flow from directly blowing on the human body, improving the windless effect of the air outlet device 100 and enhancing the user experience.

[0084] In some examples, the guide plate may be a flat plate, which may improve the relative sliding smoothness between the air guide bracket 50 and the air guide ring assembly 10 .

[0085] In some examples, the guide plate may also be a curved plate, which can improve the guiding effect of the supply air flow.

[0086] In some examples, the air guide plate assembly 40 includes an air guide bracket 50, which is movably connected to the air guide ring assembly 10. A guide member 513 is provided on the air guide bracket 50. The guide member 513 cooperates with the air guide ring assembly 10 to guide the movement direction of the air guide bracket 50, thereby preventing the air guide plate assembly 40 from being misaligned with the air guide ring assembly 10 during the movement, thereby improving the stability of the movement of the air guide plate assembly 40.

[0087] like Fig.28 As shown, in some examples, the air guide bracket 50 includes a first bracket segment 511 and a second bracket segment 512, and the second bracket segment 512 is arranged on a side of the first bracket segment 511 close to the air guide ring assembly 10 (such as Fig.28The rear side as shown), wherein the guide member 513 can be arranged on the first bracket segment 511, and the guide member 513 and the second bracket segment 512 are detachably connected, or the guide member 513 can be arranged on the second bracket segment 512, and the guide member 513 and the first bracket segment 511 are detachably connected, so as to facilitate loading and unloading.

[0088] By utilizing the detachable design of the air guide bracket 50, the segmented installation between the air guide bracket 50 and the air guide ring assembly 10 can be achieved, that is, the second bracket segment 512 is first installed on the air guide ring assembly 10, and then the first bracket segment 511 is fixedly connected with the second bracket segment 512 to complete the assembly of the air guide bracket 50 for easy operation.

[0089] like Fig.10 and Fig.29 As shown, according to some embodiments of the present invention, a plurality of guide members 513 are provided on the air guide plate assembly 40, and the plurality of guide members 513 are arranged at equal intervals along the circumference of the air guide plate assembly 40, which can improve the stability of the movement of the air guide plate assembly 40, prevent the air guide plate assembly 40 from tilting during the movement, and improve product quality.

[0090] For example, the number of the guide members 513 may be two, and the first air guide port 401 is located between the two guide members 513. Fig. 9 On the basis of supplying air from the inside to the outside as shown in FIG. Fig.32 The air supply of the air outlet device 100 can be increased by supplying air from the bottom to the top or from the top to the bottom as shown, while preventing the air supply flow from blowing directly on the user.

[0091] It is understandable that if the first air guide port 401 sends cold air upward, the cooling effect of the air conditioner 1000 can be improved, and if the first air guide port 401 sends hot air downward, the heating effect of the air conditioner 1000 can be improved.

[0092] Alternatively, the number of guide members 513 may be more, and a first air guide port 401 may be formed between two adjacent guide members 513, so as to form a plurality of first air guide ports 401 in the circumferential direction of the air guide bracket 50, so that the air outlet device 100 can be directed in multiple directions (such as Figure 1 The air supply of the air outlet device 100 is increased by supplying air from the inside to the outside (as shown in the direction from the inside to the outside), thereby increasing the air supply range of the air outlet device 100 and improving the windless effect of the air supply of the air outlet device 100.

[0093] like Fig.29 As shown, according to some embodiments of the present invention, the air guide ring assembly 10 is provided with a limited flange 2212, and the limited flange 2212 is away from the center direction of the air guide ring assembly 10 (such as Fig.29The air guide plate assembly 40 is connected with the limiting flange 2211 in cooperation. On the one hand, the air guide plate assembly 40 and the air guide ring assembly 10 can be installed. On the other hand, the air guide plate assembly 40 and the air guide ring assembly 10 can be guided to approach or move away from each other, thereby improving the stability of the air guide plate assembly 40 relative to the air guide ring assembly 10 during movement. For example, the limiting flange 2211 is provided with a guide hole 2212 or a guide member 513, and the guide member 513 and the guide hole 2212 are plugged in and matched to enable the air guide plate assembly 40 to be connected with the limiting flange 2211 in cooperation.

[0094] For example, a guide hole 2212 may be provided on the limiting flange 2211 to facilitate the cooperation between the air guide plate assembly 40 and the air guide ring assembly 10, and a guide member 513 may be provided on the air guide plate assembly 40. The guide member 513 is plugged into and cooperates with the guide hole 2212 to enable the air guide ring assembly 10 and the air guide plate assembly 40 to move closer to or farther away from each other.

[0095] like Fig.29 As shown, in some examples, an annular boss 2213 is provided on at least one side of the limiting flange 2211, and the annular boss 2213 is arranged around the guide hole 2212. The annular boss 2213 can improve the structural strength of the guide hole 2212 to prevent the guide plate assembly 40 and the guide ring assembly 10 from colliding with each other to damage the air guide hole 2212. At the same time, after the guide member 513 is plugged into the guide hole 2212, the annular boss 2213 can improve the limiting effect of the guide member 513 and improve the stability of the relative activity of the guide plate assembly 40 and the guide ring assembly 10.

[0096] In some examples, the air guide ring assembly 10 includes an air guide ring 20, fan blades 31 and a fan blade motor 32. The air guide ring 20 defines an air outlet 101. The fan blades 31 are disposed in the air guide ring 20 so that the rotation of the fan blades 31 can directly drive air to flow out through the air outlet 101. The fan blade motor 32 is disposed on the air guide ring 20, and the fan blade motor 32 is connected to the fan blades 31 for driving the fan blades 31 to rotate so as to realize air supply of the air outlet device 100.

[0097] The side of the air guide ring 20 close to the air guide plate assembly 40 (such as Fig.30 The front side as shown has a limiting flange 2211 to facilitate the cooperation between the air guide ring assembly 10 and the air guide plate assembly 40.

[0098] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the air outlet device 100 also includes: a lifting drive assembly 81, which is disposed on the air guide ring assembly 10, and the lifting drive assembly 81 is connected to the air guide plate assembly 40, so that the lifting drive assembly 81 can drive the air guide plate assembly 40 to move, so that the air guide plate assembly 40 is close to or away from the air guide ring assembly 10, so as to realize the opening and closing of the first air guide port 401.

[0099] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the air conditioner 1000 includes an air outlet device 100 of the air conditioner. By adopting the air outlet device 100 of the air conditioner, the movement direction of the air guide plate assembly 40 can be guided to prevent the air guide plate assembly 40 and the air guide ring assembly 10 from rotating and misaligning during the movement, thereby improving the stability of the relative movement of the air guide plate assembly 40 and the air guide ring assembly 10, and can play a role in guiding the airflow at the air guide port, thereby improving the air supply effect of the air conditioner 1000.

[0100] In some examples, the air conditioner 1000 can be a wall-mounted air conditioner, or the air conditioner 1000 can be a cabinet air conditioner, which consists of an indoor unit and an outdoor unit. The indoor unit is usually installed in the room, the air outlet device 100 is set on the indoor unit, and the outdoor unit is installed on an outdoor wall or platform.

[0101] The air conditioner 1000 may also be an integrated air conditioner, which is an independent air conditioning unit, usually installed on a window or a wall, and the air outlet device 100 is arranged on the indoor side.

[0102] In some examples, the number of the air outlet device 100 is at least one, for example, the air outlet device 100 may be one, which can reduce the cost on the basis of ensuring the air supply volume of the air conditioner 100; of course, the air outlet device 100 may also be multiple, and the multiple air outlet devices 100 may be arranged along the extension direction of the air conditioner 100 (such as Fig.32 The air curtain formed by the air supply of the air conditioner 1000 can be enlarged, and the wind sweeping area when the air conditioner 1000 supplies air can be increased.

[0103] It is understandable that, by using the air outlet device 100, the air conditioner 1000 can deliver air to the outside, for example, the air conditioner 1000 is directed upward (such as Fig.32 The air supply from bottom to top as shown in the figure can increase the height of the air supply of the air conditioner 1000, thereby expanding the wind curtain formed by the air supply of the air conditioner 1000, and increasing the wind sweeping area when the air conditioner 1000 supplies air, thereby improving the user experience.

[0104] Refer to the following Figure 1-Figure 36 Some specific embodiments of the present invention are described.

[0165] The second driving motor 821 can drive the second driving gear 822 to rotate, thereby driving the meshing teeth 621 to move, so that the entire rotating member 60 rotates relative to the air guide bracket 50, and then drives the air guide strip 70 to rotate between the open position and the closed position to realize the opening and closing of the second air guide port 402.

[0166] When the rotating member 60 rotates, since the mounting member 52 is plugged into the mounting seat 21 through the positioning column 522, the rotation of the rotating member 60 itself can easily drive the rotating axis 703 of the air guide strip 70 to rotate around its fixed axis, so that the air guide strip 70 can rotate between the open position and the closed position.

[0167] The air conditioner 1000 may have a first air outlet mode and a second air outlet mode. In the first air outlet mode, the air outlet device 100 blows air forward over a long distance. In the second air outlet mode, the air outlet device 100 blows air outward without a sense of wind.

[0168] In the off state, the air guide plate assembly 40 and the air guide ring assembly 10 are in contact with each other, and the air guide ring assembly 10 blocks the first air guide port 401 on the air guide plate assembly 40. At the same time, the air guide strips 70 are turned to the closed position to close the second air guide port 402, so that the air outlet device 100 stops supplying air.

[0169] like Figure 6 and Fig.33 As shown, the air conditioner 1000 enters the first air outlet mode from the off state, and the rotary drive assembly 82 drives the rotating member 60 to rotate to drive the multiple air guide strips 70 to rotate to the open position, so that the second air guide port 402 and the air outlet 101 are connected, and the second air guide port 402 and the air outlet 101 are both open to the front side of the air conditioner 100, so that the air in the air conditioner 1000 can directly flow forward through the air outlet 101 and the second air guide port 402, so that the air outlet device 100 delivers air forward for a long distance.

[0170] like Fig. 9 and Fig.36 As shown, the air conditioner 1000 switches from the first air outlet mode to the second air outlet mode, and the lifting drive assembly 81 drives the air guide plate assembly 40 to move forward, so that the air guide plate assembly 40 is away from the air guide ring assembly 10 to open the first air guide port 401, thereby connecting the first air guide port 401 and the air outlet 101.

[0171] At the same time, the rotating drive assembly 82 drives the rotating part 60 to rotate to drive the multiple air guide strips 70 to rotate to the closed position. The multiple air guide strips 70 block the second air guide port 402 to close the second air guide port 402. The first air guide port 401 is open to the outside of the air conditioner 1000, and then the air in the air conditioner 1000 needs to flow out through the air outlet 101 and the first air guide port 401 in turn, so that the air outlet device 100 supplies air to the outside without wind.

[0172] In addition, the air conditioner 1000 enters the second air outlet mode from the shutdown state, and the lifting drive assembly 81 drives the air guide plate assembly 40 to move forward, so that the air guide plate assembly 40 is away from the air guide ring assembly 10 to open the first air guide port 401, thereby connecting the first air guide port 401 and the air outlet 101, and the first air guide port 401 is open to the outside of the air conditioner 1000, and the air in the air conditioner 1000 needs to flow out through the air outlet 101 and the first air guide port 401 in turn, so that the air outlet device 100 supplies air to the outside without wind feeling.
