[0044] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and cannot be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0045] Reference below Figure 1-Figure 12 The air outlet frame assembly 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention is described. The air outlet frame assembly 100 can be applied in an air conditioner as a part of the air conditioner. Figure 7 , Fig. 9 The direction indicated by the arrow in is the direction of airflow in the air outlet frame assembly 100 .

[0046] refer to Figure 1-Figure 12According to the air outlet frame assembly 100 of the first embodiment of the present invention, the air outlet frame assembly 100 includes: an air outlet frame 1 and a diverter protection structure 2, and the diverter protection structure 2 is installed on the air outlet frame 1.

[0047] The air outlet frame 1 is formed with an air outlet channel 11 and at least two airflow outlets, and the airflow in the air outlet channel 11 flows out of the air outlet frame 1 via the airflow outlets. For example, the air outlet frame 1 is formed with two airflow outlets; or the air outlet frame 1 is formed with more than two airflow outlets. When the diverter protection structure 2 is installed in the air outlet frame 1, it is located in the air outlet channel 11, and the diverter protection structure 2 is located on the upstream side of the airflow outlet. The diverter protection structure 2 includes a connected diverter structure 21 and a protection structure 22, for example, the protection structure 22 can be integrally formed with the diverter structure 21; or, the protection structure 22 and the diverter structure 21 are detachably connected, for example, the protection structure 22 is fixedly connected to the diverter structure 21 by fasteners or the protection structure 22 is snap-connected to the diverter structure 21.

[0048] The flow splitting structure 21 is used to guide the airflow toward at least two airflow outlets. For example, the air outlet frame 1 is formed with two airflow outlets, and the flow splitting structure 21 is used to guide the airflow toward the two airflow outlets; for example, the air outlet frame 1 is formed with more than two airflow outlets, and the flow splitting structure 21 is used to guide the airflow toward two of the airflow outlets; for example, the air outlet frame 1 is formed with more than two airflow outlets, and the flow splitting structure 21 is used to guide the airflow toward more than two airflow outlets.

[0049] When the air outlet frame assembly 100 is applied to an air conditioner, the protective structure 22 can be used to prevent the user from inserting his fingers into the air conditioner from the air outlet and accidentally touching the fan components in the air conditioner, causing the fan components to cause safety accidents; the protective structure 22 can also be used to prevent the air conditioner from sucking objects (such as clothes, curtains, etc.) outside the air outlet into the air conditioner during operation, thereby affecting the normal operation of the air conditioner. The protective structure 22 is formed with ventilation holes 221 for airflow to pass through. For example, under the guidance of the diversion structure 21, the airflow in the air outlet channel 11 flows through the ventilation holes 221 on the protective structure 22 and flows toward the air outlet.

[0050] For example, the diversion protection structure 2 includes a diversion structure 21 and a protection structure 22, and the diversion structure 21 and the protection structure 22 are integrally formed, and the diversion structure 21 is detachably installed on the air outlet frame 1 through fasteners, so that the protection structure 22 is synchronously installed on the air outlet frame 1 through the diversion structure 21.

[0051] For example, the diversion protection structure 2 includes a diversion structure 21 and a protection structure 22, and the protection structure 22 is detachably connected to the diversion structure 21 through fasteners; the installation process of the diversion protection structure 2 is: first, the protection structure 22 is detachably installed on the diversion structure 21 through fasteners, and then the diversion structure 21 is detachably installed on the air outlet frame 1 through fasteners, so that the diversion structure 21 and the protection structure 22 are synchronously installed on the air outlet frame 1.

[0052] According to the air outlet frame assembly 100 of the embodiment of the present invention, a diversion protection structure 2 is provided, and the diversion protection structure 2 includes a connected diversion structure 21 and a protection structure 22, so that the diversion protection structure 2 can not only meet the safety requirements for use, but also be used to guide the airflow toward at least two airflow outlets, so that the diversion protection structure 2 can simultaneously realize the diversion function and the protection function, so that the diversion structure 21 and the protection structure 22 are integrated into a module, and the diversion protection structure 2 is installed as a whole on the air outlet frame 1, so that the diversion structure 21 and the protection structure 22 are installed synchronously, and the process of installing the protection structure 22 and the diversion structure 21 on the air outlet frame 1 separately is avoided, so that the assembly process of the air outlet frame assembly 100 is simple, which is conducive to improving production efficiency.

[0053] refer to Figure 10-12 According to some embodiments of the present invention, the protective structure 22 is integrally formed with the diverter structure 21. By integrally forming the protective structure 22 and the diverter structure 21, there is no need to connect the protective structure 22 and the diverter structure 21. The diverter structure 21 and the protective structure 22 are integrated into one module, which facilitates the synchronous installation of the protective structure 22 and the diverter structure 21 to the air outlet frame 1, making the assembly process simpler and helping to improve production efficiency.

[0054] refer to Figure 2-Figure 9 According to some embodiments of the present invention, the flow diversion protection structure 2 is detachably connected to the air outlet frame 1. For example, the flow diversion protection structure 2 can be detachably connected to the air outlet frame 1 by fastening or snapping. By detachably connecting the flow diversion protection structure 2 to the air outlet frame 1, it is convenient to maintain and replace the flow diversion protection structure 2.

[0055] refer to Figure 2-Figure 9 According to some optional embodiments of the present invention, the diverter protection structure 2 extends along the first direction, and both ends of the diverter protection structure 2 along the first direction are detachably connected to the air outlet frame 1. By detachably connecting both ends of the diverter protection structure 2 along the first direction to the air outlet frame 1, both ends of the diverter protection structure 2 in the extension direction are connected to the air outlet frame 1, and the stability of the connection between the diverter protection structure 2 and the air outlet frame 1 can be improved.

[0056] Optionally, the flow diversion protection structure 2 is further connected to the air outlet frame 1 between the two ends along the first direction. For example, the flow diversion protection structure 2 can also be connected to the air outlet frame 1 in the middle along the first direction. This arrangement can further improve the stability of the connection relationship between the flow diversion protection structure 2 and the air outlet frame 1.

[0057] For example, the first direction can refer to Figure 1-Figure 2 , Fig.10 The up and down directions shown in .

[0058] refer to Figure 2-Figure 9 According to some optional embodiments of the present invention, both ends of the diversion protection structure 2 along the first direction are connected to the air outlet frame 1 by fasteners. The fastener connection is simple, and the installation and disassembly operations are simple; and the fastener connection method is stable and reliable.

[0059] refer to Figure 2-Figure 9 According to some optional embodiments of the present invention, the flow-dividing protection structure 2 is suitable for being installed into the air outlet channel 11 or being taken out from the air outlet channel 11 along the first direction, which can avoid the structure of the air outlet frame 1 from hindering the installation and removal of the flow-dividing protection structure 2, and facilitates the installation of the flow-dividing protection structure 2 on the air outlet frame 1 or the removal of the flow-dividing protection structure 2 from the air outlet frame 1. The flow-dividing protection structure 2 and the air outlet channel 11 both extend along the first direction, and by making the flow-dividing protection structure 2 suitable for being installed into the air outlet channel 11 or being taken out from the air outlet channel 11 along the first direction, the air outlet channel 11 has an installation guiding function for the flow-dividing protection structure 2 along the first direction.

[0060] For example, the process of installing the diverter protection structure 2 on the air outlet frame 1 is as follows: first, the diverter protection structure 2 is installed into the air outlet channel 11 of the air outlet frame 1 along the first direction; then, the two ends of the diverter protection structure 2 along the first direction are respectively connected to the air outlet frame 1 through fasteners; thus, the installation process of the diverter protection structure 2 on the air outlet frame 1 is completed.

[0061] For example, the process of removing the diverter protection structure 2 from the air outlet frame 1 is as follows: first, remove the fasteners arranged at the two ends of the diverter protection structure 2 along the first direction to release the connection between the two ends of the diverter protection structure 2 and the air outlet frame 1 along the first direction; then, take the diverter protection structure 2 out of the air outlet channel 11 along the first direction; thus, the disassembly process of the diverter protection structure 2 is completed.

[0062] refer to Figure 2-Figure 12According to some embodiments of the present invention, the protective structure 22 includes a plurality of protective ribs 222 arranged at intervals, and ventilation holes 221 are defined between adjacent protective ribs 222. By providing a plurality of protective ribs 222 arranged at intervals, when the air outlet frame assembly 100 is applied to an air conditioner, the plurality of protective ribs 222 can effectively prevent the user from contacting the fan components of the air conditioner from the outside of the air conditioner through the air flow outlet, etc., and can prevent the fan components from causing safety accidents; the plurality of protective ribs 222 are arranged at intervals and ventilation holes 221 are defined between adjacent protective ribs 222, reducing the influence of the protective structure 22 on the flow of airflow, so that the airflow can flow to the air flow outlet through the ventilation holes 221.

[0063] refer to Figure 2-Figure 11 According to some optional embodiments of the present invention, the diversion structure 21 and the protective ribs 222 both extend along the first direction, and the ventilation holes 221 defined between adjacent protective ribs 222 also extend along the first direction. The ventilation holes 221 and the diversion structure 21 also extend along the first direction. This arrangement allows the airflow to flow smoothly through the ventilation holes 221 and the protective structure 22 under the guidance of the diversion structure 21, thereby avoiding airflow turbulence in the air outlet frame assembly 100.

[0064] The flow-dividing protection structure 2 includes a first mounting plate 23 and a second mounting plate 25 which are arranged at intervals along the first direction. The two ends of the flow-dividing structure 21 and the two ends of the protection rib plate 222 are connected to the first mounting plate 23 and the second mounting plate 25 respectively. The first mounting plate 23 and the second mounting plate 25 are both connected to the air outlet frame 1. By setting the first mounting plate 23 and the second mounting plate 25, one end of the flow-dividing protection structure 2 in the first direction is connected to the air outlet frame 1 through the first mounting plate 23, and the other end of the flow-dividing protection structure 2 in the first direction is connected to the air outlet frame 1 through the second mounting plate 25. Both ends of the flow-dividing protection structure 2 in the extension direction are connected to the air outlet frame 1, which can improve the stability and reliability of the connection relationship between the flow-dividing protection structure 2 and the air outlet frame 1, and reduce or avoid the shaking of the flow-dividing protection structure 2 caused by the airflow in the air outlet frame assembly 100. In addition, the protection structure 22 and the flow-dividing structure 21 are synchronously installed to the air outlet frame 1 through the first mounting plate 23 and the second mounting plate 25, which can improve the installation stability and reliability of the protection structure 22.

[0065] refer to Figure 2-Figure 9 According to some optional embodiments of the present invention, a positioning groove 13 is formed on one side of the air outlet frame 1 along the first direction, and the first mounting plate 23 has a positioning portion 231, and the positioning portion 231 is accommodated in the positioning groove 13. By providing the positioning portion 231 and the positioning groove 13, it is convenient to relatively position the diverter protection structure 2 and the air outlet frame 1, and the positioning groove 13 will form a certain limiting effect on the positioning portion 231, so as to improve the accuracy of the relative position of the diverter protection structure 2 and the air outlet frame 1.

[0066] For example, the diverter protection structure 2 is installed into the air outlet channel 11 along the first direction, so that the positioning portion 231 is accommodated in the positioning groove 13 along the first direction, and then a fastener is passed through the positioning portion 231 and the positioning groove 13, so that the diverter protection structure 2 is detachably connected to the air outlet frame 1 at one end in the first direction.

[0067] refer to Figure 2-Figure 11 According to some optional embodiments of the present invention, the diverter protection structure 2 also includes a positioning plate 24, and the positioning plate 24 is located between the first mounting plate 23 and the second mounting plate 25. The diverter structure 21 and the protective rib plate 222 are both connected to the positioning plate 24 along the first direction, and the diverter structure 21 and the protective rib plate 222 are both fixed relative to the positioning plate 24. The shape of the positioning plate 24 can be designed to match the structure of the diverter structure 21 and the protective rib plate 222. Optionally, the diverter protection structure 2 includes a positioning plate 24, and the positioning plate 24 is arranged at a position close to the middle of the diverter protection structure 2 in the first direction. Optionally, the diverter protection structure 2 includes a plurality of positioning plates 24, and the plurality of positioning plates 24 are arranged at intervals in the first direction; for example, the diverter protection structure 2 includes two positioning plates 24, and the first mounting plate 23, the two positioning plates 24 and the second mounting plate 25 are evenly spaced in the first direction. By providing the positioning plate 24, it is convenient to relatively position the diverter protection structure 2 and the air outlet frame 1; by cooperating with the positioning plate 24, the first mounting plate 23 and the second mounting plate 25, the diverter protection structure 2 and the air outlet frame 1 have multiple positioning structures in the first direction, which can further improve the accuracy of positioning. The provision of the positioning plate 24 can also improve the structural strength of the diverter protection structure 2.

[0068] refer to Figure 2-Figure 11 According to some optional embodiments of the present invention, a limiting plate 14 is provided in the air outlet channel 11, the limiting plate 14 is connected to the air outlet frame 1, a limiting opening 141 is formed on the limiting plate 14, and the positioning plate 24 is accommodated in the limiting opening 141. By providing the limiting plate 14 forming the limiting opening 141, and allowing the positioning plate 24 to be accommodated in the limiting opening 141, when the flow diversion protection structure 2 is installed on the air outlet frame 1, the flow diversion protection structure 2 can be positioned with reference to the matching relationship between the positioning plate 24 and the limiting opening 141, which can improve the accuracy of the positioning relationship; and the matching relationship between the positioning plate 24 and the limiting opening 141 can form a certain limiting effect on the flow diversion protection structure 2, improve the stability of the connection relationship between the flow diversion protection structure 2 and the air outlet frame 1, and avoid the flow diversion protection structure 2 from shaking due to the flow of air in the air outlet channel 11. The provision of the limiting plate 14 can also improve the structural strength of the air outlet channel 11.

[0069] refer to Figure 2-Figure 9According to some embodiments of the present invention, the air outlet frame 1 is formed with an airflow inlet 15, and the free end of the diverter structure 21 faces the airflow inlet 15. The airflow enters the air outlet frame 1 through the airflow inlet 15 and flows toward the diverter structure 21. The air outlet frame 1 is formed with two airflow outlets, which are a first airflow outlet 121 and a second airflow outlet 122. The diverter structure 21 is located between the first airflow outlet 121 and the second airflow outlet 122. The diverter structure 21 is used to guide part of the airflow toward the first airflow outlet 121, and the diverter structure 21 is used to guide another part of the airflow toward the second airflow outlet 122. When the air outlet frame assembly 100 is applied to an air conditioner, the first airflow outlet 121 is located in the tangential direction of the rotation direction of the wind wheel, and the airflow flowing through the wind wheel is sent out in the tangential direction of the rotation direction. After being sent out by the wind wheel, the airflow enters the air outlet frame 1 through the airflow inlet 15 and flows toward the diverter structure 21.

[0070] The diverter structure 21 is formed into an arc convex toward the first air flow outlet 121. Part of the airflow flowing through the diverter structure 21 follows one side of the convex arc of the diverter structure 21 and flows toward the first air flow outlet 121 along the tangential direction of the rotation direction. Another part of the airflow flowing through the diverter structure 21 changes its flow direction under the guidance of the other side of the convex arc of the diverter structure 21 and flows toward the second air flow outlet 122. By locating the first airflow outlet 121 in the tangential direction of the rotation direction of the wind wheel, the airflow sent out by the wind wheel can smoothly flow to the first airflow outlet 121 and flow out through the first airflow outlet 121; by forming the diverter structure 21 into an arc convex toward the first airflow outlet 121, the convex arc structure can guide the airflow flowing through the diverter structure 21 toward the first airflow outlet 121 and the second airflow outlet 122 respectively, so that airflow flows out from both the first airflow outlet 121 and the second airflow outlet 122, and the airflow flow rates of the first airflow outlet 121 and the second airflow outlet 122 are uniform.

[0071] refer to Figure 2-Figure 9 According to some optional embodiments of the present invention, the air outlet frame 1 is formed with two airflow outlets, and the protective structure 22 includes two sub-protective structures 223 located on both sides of the diversion structure 21, one of the two sub-protective structures 223 is opposite to one of the airflow outlets, and the other of the two sub-protective structures 223 is opposite to the other airflow outlet. The two sub-protective structures 223 are respectively arranged corresponding to the two airflow outlets located on both sides of the diversion structure 21, and can play a protective role at both airflow outlets corresponding to the two sub-protective structures 223.

[0072] refer to Figure 2-Figure 9According to some optional embodiments of the present invention, the air outlet frame 1 is formed with an airflow inlet 15, and the airflow enters the air outlet channel 11 of the air outlet frame 1 through the airflow inlet 15. The free end of the diverter structure 21 faces the airflow inlet 15, and the airflow entering the air outlet frame 1 through the airflow inlet 15 flows toward the diverter structure 21. Each sub-protective structure 223 is located between the diverter structure 21 and the corresponding airflow outlet. The airflow flowing through the diverter structure 21 flows toward the two sub-protective structures 223 under the guidance of the diverter structure 21, and flows toward the respective opposite airflow outlets through the ventilation holes 221 of the two sub-protective structures 223. By making each sub-protective structure 223 located between the diverter structure 21 and the corresponding airflow outlet, on the premise that the sub-protective structure 223 forms a protective effect at the two airflow outlets respectively, the airflow can flow to the airflow outlet through the ventilation holes 221 of the sub-protective structure 223, thereby reducing the adverse effect of the sub-protective structure 223 on the airflow flow.

[0073] refer to Figure 2-Figure 12 According to some optional embodiments of the present invention, each sub-protection structure 223 includes a plurality of protective ribs 222 arranged at intervals, and at least some of the protective ribs 222 have guide portions 2221 for guiding the airflow to flow toward the corresponding airflow outlet. For example, some of the protective ribs 222 have guide portions 2221 for guiding the airflow to flow toward the corresponding airflow outlet; for example, all of the protective ribs 222 have guide portions 2221 for guiding the airflow to flow toward the corresponding airflow outlet. By providing the guide portions 2221, the guide portions 2221 can guide the airflow to flow smoothly to the airflow outlet, which can reduce turbulence and thus reduce noise.

[0074] According to some optional embodiments of the present invention, the guide portion 2221 is formed into an arc shape. By forming the guide portion 2221 into an arc shape, the guide portion 2221 has a rectifying effect on the airflow flowing toward the sub-protective structure 223, so that the airflow flowing toward the sub-protective structure 223 flows evenly to the airflow outlet under the guidance of the guide portion 2221.
