The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to be used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

In order to simplify the disclosure of the present invention, the parts and settings of specific examples are described below. Of course, they are only examples, and the purpose is not to limit the present invention. In addition, the present invention can repeat reference numbers and / or letters in different examples.

In addition, the present invention provides various specific processes and examples of materials, but those of ordinary skill in the art can be aware of the applicability of other processes and / or the use of other materials.

[0039] Hereinafter, an air conditioner 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0040] like Figure 1 As shown, the air conditioner 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention comprises: an air conditioner body 1 and a protective grille 2, the air conditioner body 1 has an air outlet duct 11, the air outlet duct 11 comprises a first air outlet section 11a and a second air outlet section 11b, the air flow flows along the first air outlet section 11a and the second air outlet section 11b, and the air conditioner 100 is used to supply air. Figure 1 The dotted line with an arrow in the middle is used to indicate the airflow direction. The outlet of the first air outlet section 11a and the outlet of the second air outlet section 11b extend in different directions, thereby increasing the air supply range of the air conditioner 100 and improving the air supply effect.

[0041] The air outlet duct 11 is connected to the impeller of the air conditioner 100, and the impeller provides a flowing airflow to the air outlet duct 11. The protective grille 2 is arranged in the air outlet duct 11 to prevent the user from accidentally touching the impeller of the air conditioner 100. The protective grille 2 is arranged in the air outlet duct 11 as a protective member and is non-detachably arranged in the air outlet duct 11, so as to prevent the user from accidentally touching the internal components of the air conditioner 100, such as the working impeller, etc., and ensure the safety of use.

[0042] The protective grille 2 also includes a first diverter plate 21, which extends from the inlet 113 of the air outlet duct toward the first air outlet section 11a, and the outlet end 21b in the extension direction protrudes from any other grille 20 on the protective grille 2 to guide the airflow to flow in the direction of the first air outlet section 11a.

[0043] By setting the first diverter plate 21 to guide the airflow to flow in the direction of the first air outlet section 11a, the airflow of the first air outlet section 11a is increased. Optionally, the air volume at the outlet of the first air outlet section 11a can be increased so that the air conditioner 100 can obtain a better air outlet effect. Exemplarily, for example, the outlet of the first air outlet section 11a is located at the top of the air conditioner 100, and the cold air volume at the top is increased when the air conditioner 100 is cooling, and the cold air flow naturally settles, thereby improving the comfort of use; for another example, the outlet of the first air outlet section 11a is located on the side of the air conditioner 100, and the outlet direction extends along the wall, and the air flow is transported to a farther distance along the wall, increasing the air supply distance, thereby improving the air supply and heat exchange efficiency of the air conditioner 100.

[0044] Alternatively, by setting the first diverter plate 21 to guide the air to the first air outlet section 11a, the air volume of the first air outlet section 11a is increased, and the air flow to the first air outlet section 11a and the second air outlet section 11b can be uniformly flowed, so that the air volume of the outlet of the first air outlet section 11a and the outlet of the second air outlet section 11b located at different positions of the air conditioner 100 is similar, thereby improving the air outlet effect of the air conditioner 100. It is understandable that the first air outlet section and the second air outlet section may cause uneven air volume due to reasons such as position, and by setting the first diverter plate 21 to guide the air to the first air outlet section 11a, which originally has a small air volume, the air volume of the first air outlet section 11a can be increased, so that the air volume of the outlet of the first air outlet section 11a and the outlet of the second air outlet section 11b is balanced.

[0045] The present invention directly integrates the first splitter plate 21 with the protective grille 2, and the protective grille 2 can not only play a protective role, but also play a supporting and positioning role. The first splitter plate 21 does not need to be installed with the air conditioner body 1, and because the first splitter plate 21 is a part of the protective grille 2, the first splitter plate 21 does not need to be installed with the protective grille 2, thereby saving the installation positioning parts of the first splitter plate 21, reducing the structural complexity of the air conditioner 100, and improving the assembly efficiency of the air conditioner 100. The first splitter plate 21 has good integrity with the protective grille 2, and can also improve the structural strength of the first splitter plate 21, and the working stability of the first splitter plate 21 is high.

[0046] According to the air conditioner 100 of the embodiment of the present invention, by integrating the first manifold 21 and the protective grille 2, it is not necessary to position and install the first manifold 21 separately, thereby saving components, reducing the structural complexity of the air conditioner 100, and improving the assembly efficiency of the air conditioner 100. In addition, the first manifold 21 and the protective grille 2 have good integrity, which can improve the structural strength of the first manifold 21 and enhance the working stability of the first manifold 21.

[0047] In some embodiments of the present invention, the length direction of the air outlet duct 11 is consistent with the length direction of the air conditioner 100, so the length direction of the first air outlet section 11a and the length direction of the second air outlet section 11b are also the length direction of the air conditioner 100. The air outlet area of ​​the air conditioner 100 in the length direction is large, and the outlet of the first air outlet section 11a and the outlet of the second air outlet section 11b extend toward both sides of the width of the air conditioner 100, so as to further increase the air outlet coverage area in the width direction of the air conditioner 100 and improve the air supply effect of the air conditioner 100. Fig.15 The up-down direction shown in is the length direction of the air conditioner 100 , and the left-right direction is the width direction of the air conditioner 100 .

[0048] In some embodiments, Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the length direction of the air conditioner 100 is the vertical direction, the air outlet duct 11 extends in the vertical direction, and the outlet of the first air outlet section 11a and the outlet of the second air outlet section 11b extend in the horizontal directions respectively, thereby increasing the air supply range of the air conditioner 100 in the vertical and horizontal directions.

[0049] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the protective grille 2 includes a plurality of longitudinal bars 22, the length direction of the longitudinal bars 22 is consistent with the length direction of the air conditioner 100, and the bars 20 can prevent users from accidentally touching the components inside the air conditioner 100 for protection, and one of the plurality of longitudinal bars 22 is configured as a first diverter plate 21. One of the longitudinal bars 22 that originally play a protective role is designed as the first diverter plate 21, and the first diverter plate 21 can not only play a protective role together with other bars 20, but also play a diverting role, thereby further simplifying the structure and reducing the manufacturing cost of the air conditioner 100.

[0050] The first splitter plate 21 has two ends of width, namely, an inlet end 21a and an outlet end 21b. Figure 1 As shown, in the projection of the first diverter plate 21 in the length direction, the end of the first diverter plate 21 close to the inlet 113 of the air outlet duct is the inlet end 21a, and the end of the first diverter plate 21 close to the outlet of the first air outlet section 11a is the outlet end 21b. The first diverter plate 21 guides the airflow to flow in the direction of the first air outlet section 11a.

[0051] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 4 As shown, at least one longitudinal grid bar 22 is constructed as a first guide plate 221, which is located on the side of the first diverter plate 21 away from the second air outlet section 11b, and the width direction of the first guide plate 221 extends from the inlet 113 of the air outlet duct toward the first air outlet section 11a.

[0052] The first guide plate 221 also guides the airflow to flow in the direction of the first air outlet section 11a, thereby further increasing the airflow volume of the first air outlet section 11a, so that the air conditioner 100 obtains a better air outlet effect. By configuring the longitudinal grid bar 22 as the first guide plate 221, the longitudinal grid bar 22 originally used for protection is designed as the first guide plate 221, and the first guide plate 221 can not only play a protective role together with other grid bars 20, but also play a guiding role, so as to reduce the wind resistance of the protective grille 2 to the airflow in the air outlet duct 11, and can guide the airflow to improve the fluidity of the airflow.

[0053] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 As shown, the air conditioner body 1 further has an air inlet duct 12 , the outlet of the air inlet duct 12 is connected to the inlet 113 of the air outlet duct, and the air inlet duct 12 provides a flowing airflow to the air outlet duct 11 .

[0054] like Figure 1 As shown, the outlet direction of the air inlet duct 12 and the outlet direction of the first air outlet section 11a are respectively oriented to the two sides of the width of the air conditioner 100, that is, the direction of the airflow entering the air outlet duct 11 from the air inlet duct 12 is inconsistent with the outlet direction of the first air outlet section 11a, and the airflow is not easy to flow to the first air outlet section 11a, and the airflow in the first air outlet section 11a is small. Therefore, the present invention sets the first splitter plate 21 and the first guide plate 221 to guide the airflow to flow in the direction of the first air outlet section 11a, which can increase the airflow of the first air outlet section 11a, so that the air supply volume of the outlet of the first air outlet section 11a and the outlet of the second air outlet section 11b are balanced, so that the air output volume of the outlet of the first air outlet section 11a and the outlet of the second air outlet section 11b located at different positions of the air conditioner 100 is similar, thereby improving the air outlet effect of the air conditioner 100.

[0055] like Figure 4 As shown, there are multiple first guide plates 221 and they are spaced apart along the width direction of the first air outlet section 11a. By providing multiple first guide plates 221, the air guiding effect toward the first air outlet section 11a is further improved, thereby increasing the air flow of the first air outlet section 11a.

[0056] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1As shown, the air conditioner body 1 also includes a crossflow fan 15, which is arranged in the air inlet duct 12 to provide a flowing airflow to the air outlet duct 11. Due to the air outlet form of the crossflow fan 15, the air inlet duct 12 has a volute tongue portion, so the air outlet direction of the air inlet duct 12 is offset to one side, and the outlet direction of the air inlet duct 12 is toward the air outlet direction of the second air outlet section 11b, so that the airflow flowing to the second air outlet section 11b is more than the airflow flowing to the first air outlet section 11a. Therefore, the embodiment of the present invention guides the air to the first air outlet section 11a by setting a first splitter plate 21 and a plurality of first guide plates 221 to balance the air outlet volume of the first air outlet section 11a and the second air outlet section 11b, thereby improving the air supply effect of the air conditioner 100.

[0057] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 4 As shown, at least one longitudinal grid bar 22 is constructed as a second guide plate 222, and the second guide plate 222 is located on the side of the first diverter plate 21 away from the first air outlet section 11a, and the width direction of the second guide plate 222 extends from the inlet 113 of the air outlet duct toward the second air outlet section 11b, and the second guide plate 222 guides the airflow to flow in the direction of the second air outlet section 11b.

[0058] By constructing the longitudinal bars 22 as the second guide plates 222, the longitudinal bars 22 that originally play a protective role are designed as the second guide plates 222. The second guide plates 222 can not only play a protective role together with other bars 20, but also guide the airflow to reduce the wind resistance of the protective grille 2 to the airflow in the air outlet duct 11, and can guide the airflow to improve the fluidity of the airflow.

[0059] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, Figure 4 As shown, the protective grille 2 includes four longitudinal bars 22, two longitudinal bars 22 near the first air outlet section 11a are configured as first guide plates 221, one longitudinal bar 22 near the second air outlet section 11b is configured as a second guide plate 222, and the longitudinal bar 22 located between the first guide plate 221 and the second guide plate 222 is configured as a first splitter plate 21. Since the outlet direction of the air inlet duct 12 is toward the air outlet direction of the second air outlet section 11b, the airflow flowing to the second air outlet section 11b is greater than the airflow flowing to the first air outlet section 11a. Therefore, in the embodiment of the present invention, three of the four longitudinal bars 22 guide the airflow to flow in the direction of the first air outlet section 11a, so that the airflow of the first air outlet section 11a and the second air outlet section 11b is balanced.

[0060] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 3As shown, the protective grille 2 further includes a plurality of transverse bars 23, which are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the air conditioner 100, and the transverse bars 23 are arranged crosswise with the longitudinal bars 22 to define grille holes. The grille holes defined by the protective grille 2 are smaller than the size of the user's palm to prevent the user from accidentally touching the components inside the air conditioner 100, such as the working crossflow fan 15, etc., to ensure safety in use.

[0061] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the transverse spacing W1 between two adjacent longitudinal bars 22 is smaller than the longitudinal spacing H between adjacent transverse bars 23, and the transverse distance W2 between the longitudinal bar 22 closest to the wall of the air duct and the wall of the air duct is smaller than the longitudinal spacing H between adjacent transverse bars 23. The longitudinal direction of the longitudinal bars 22 is consistent with the longitudinal direction of the air outlet duct 11, while the transverse bars 23 are arranged at intervals along the longitudinal direction of the air conditioner 100, so the longitudinal spacing between the transverse bars 23 is designed to be larger to reduce the wind resistance in the air outlet duct 11 and improve the fluidity of the air flow.

[0062] In some embodiments, the longitudinal spacing H between adjacent transverse bars 23 is less than 400 mm. When the longitudinal spacing H between adjacent transverse bars 23 is too large, the area of ​​the grille hole increases, which weakens the protective effect of the protective grille 2 and reduces the safety of the protective grille 2. Therefore, it is best if the longitudinal spacing H between adjacent transverse bars 23 is less than 400 mm. It is worth noting that the longitudinal spacing H between adjacent transverse bars 23 cannot be too small. When the longitudinal spacing H between adjacent transverse bars 23 is too small, the transverse bars 23 are arranged too densely, occupying the space of the air outlet duct 11, causing the wind resistance in the air outlet duct 11 to increase, affecting the air output of the air conditioner 100. Optionally, the longitudinal spacing H between adjacent transverse bars 23 is 200 mm, 220 mm, 300 mm, 350 mm, 380 mm, etc.

[0063] In some embodiments, the lateral spacing W1 between two adjacent longitudinal bars 22 is less than or equal to 20 mm. A guide channel is formed between the longitudinal bars 22 to guide the airflow, so it is best if the lateral spacing W1 between two adjacent longitudinal bars 22 is less than 20 mm, which has a better guiding effect on the airflow. It is worth noting that one of the longitudinal bars 22 is configured as a first diverter plate 21, so the lateral spacing between the first diverter plate 21 and the adjacent longitudinal bars 22 is also W1. Optionally, the lateral spacing W1 between two adjacent longitudinal bars 22 is 8 mm, 10 mm, 12 mm, 15 mm, 20 mm, etc.

[0064] In some embodiments, the lateral distance W2 between the longitudinal grid bar 22 closest to the wall of the air duct and the wall of the air duct is less than or equal to 20 mm. A guide channel is also formed between the longitudinal grid bar 22 and the wall of the air duct to guide the airflow, so the lateral distance W2 between the longitudinal grid bar 22 closest to the wall of the air duct and the wall of the air duct is less than or equal to 20 mm, which is the best, and has a better guiding effect on the airflow. Optionally, the lateral distance W2 between the longitudinal grid bar 22 closest to the wall of the air duct and the wall of the air duct is 5 mm, 6 mm, 10 mm, 18 mm, 20 mm, etc.

[0065] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 4 As shown, the air conditioner body 1 includes a first air duct wall 111 and a second air duct wall 112, and the first air duct wall 111 and the second air duct wall 112 form an inlet section of the air outlet duct 11, the first air duct wall 111 participates in defining the first air outlet section 11a, and the second air duct wall 112 participates in defining the second air outlet section 11b.

[0066] like Figure 4 As shown, the inlet end 21a of the first diverter plate is arranged close to the second air duct wall 112 relative to the first air duct wall 11, that is, the distance L1 between the first diverter plate 21 and the first air duct wall 111 is greater than the distance L2 between the first diverter plate 21 and the second air duct wall 112, which is beneficial to divert more air flow to the first air outlet section 11a, thereby improving the air supply effect of the air conditioner 100.

[0067] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 5-Figure 7 As shown, the air conditioner body 1 includes a face frame 13 and an air outlet frame 14, the face frame 13 and the air outlet frame 14 together define a first air outlet section 11a and a second air outlet section 11b, and the protective grille 2 is disposed on the air outlet frame 14. Figure 1 As shown, the crossflow fan 15 includes a volute 151 and a crossflow fan wheel 152 matched with the volute 151, the volute 151 defines an air inlet duct 12, and the volute 151 is connected to the air outlet frame 14 to transport flowing air to the first air outlet section 11a and the second air outlet section 11b.

[0068] In the first embodiment of the present invention, Figure 1-Figure 7 As shown, only a protective grille 2 is provided in the air outlet duct 11 for air diversion, which can reduce the structural complexity of the air conditioner 100 and improve the assembly efficiency of the air conditioner 100.

[0069] In the second embodiment of the present invention, Figure 8-Figure 14 As shown, a protective grille 2 and a diversion component 3 are provided in the air outlet duct 11 to jointly divert the air, thereby further guiding the airflow and improving the air outlet effect of the air conditioner 100 .

[0070] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 8 and Fig.11As shown, the air conditioner 100 further includes a diverter component 3, and the diverter component 3 is arranged in the air outlet duct 11. Among them, the diverter component 3 and the protective grille 2 can be two components that are processed separately from each other, so as to reduce the manufacturing difficulty of the protective grille 2, improve the production efficiency of the air conditioner 100, and reduce the structural complexity of the protective grille 2, so as to facilitate the storage and transportation of the protective grille 2. However, the installation position of the protective grille 2 is not limited, and it can be installed on the diverter component 3 or on other components other than the diverter component 3. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, in other embodiments of the present invention, the diverter component 3 and the protective grille 2 can also be processed into an integrally formed part.

[0071] like Figure 8 and Fig.10 As shown, the flow dividing component 3 includes a second flow dividing plate 31, which extends from the inlet 113 of the air outlet duct toward the second air outlet section 11b, and the outflow end 31b in the extending direction protrudes from any remaining grid bar 20 on the protective grille 2 except the first flow dividing plate 21, so as to guide the airflow to flow in the direction of the second air outlet section 11b. Figure 8 The dashed line with an arrow in the middle is used to indicate the direction of air flow.

[0072] The first diverter plate 21 guides the airflow to flow toward the first air outlet section 11a, and the second diverter plate 31 guides the airflow to flow toward the second air outlet section 11b, so that the air supply volume of the first air outlet section 11a and the second air outlet section 11b is relatively uniform, so that the air conditioner 100 can evenly discharge air in different directions indoors, thereby improving the air outlet heat exchange effect of the air conditioner 100.

[0073] In other embodiments of the present invention, the second splitter plate 31 for guiding the airflow to flow toward the second air outlet section 11b is integrally formed with the protective grille 2, and the second splitter plate 31 does not need to be installed additionally, thereby saving the installation positioning parts of the second splitter plate 31 and improving the assembly efficiency of the air conditioner 100. In addition, the second splitter plate 31 has good integrity with the protective grille 2, which can also improve the structural strength of the second splitter plate 31 and improve the working reliability of the second splitter plate 31.

[0074] In some embodiments of the present invention, Fig. 9 As shown, the length direction of the air outlet duct 11 is consistent with the length direction of the air conditioner 100, the outlet of the first air outlet section 11a and the outlet of the second air outlet section 11b extend toward both sides of the width of the air conditioner 100 respectively, and the length direction of the second diverter plate 31 is consistent with the length direction of the air conditioner 100 to guide the airflow in the air outlet duct 11.

[0075] like Fig. 9As shown, the inlet end 31a of the second splitter plate extends toward the direction close to the inlet end 21a of the first splitter plate, and the outlet end 31b of the second splitter plate and the outlet end 21b of the first splitter plate extend toward both sides of the width of the air conditioner 100. The inlet end 31a of the second splitter plate is farther from the inlet 113 of the air outlet duct than the inlet end 21a of the first splitter plate, which can increase the airflow flowing to the first outlet section 11a and improve the uniformity of the airflow in the first outlet section 11a and the second outlet section 11b.

The arrangement of the first diverter plate 21 and the second diverter plate 31 no longer needs to consider the fluidity of the airflow in the air ducts with different flow widths, which facilitates the design and arrangement of the first diverter plate 21 and the second diverter plate 31, reduces the difficulty of assembly, and improves production efficiency.

[0077] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 8 and Fig. 9 As shown, the inlet end 21a of the first splitter plate and the inlet end 31a of the second splitter plate are spaced apart, which ensures the fluidity of the airflow, improves the airflow efficiency, ensures the ventilation volume, and reduces the air volume attenuation loss while achieving splitting and improving the uniformity of air flow distribution.
