[0003] In order to prevent the structure of the air outlet grille from interfering with the air outlet, some existing technologies have proposed an air outlet grille structure, which is designed to suppress the interference of the air outlet flow of the air outlet grille by limiting the pressure surface angle and the suction surface angle of the radial ribs of the air outlet grille. However, when the wind wheel drives the airflow, the velocity direction of the airflow intersects with the surface of the radial ribs, causing the radial ribs to affect the air outlet, resulting in flow separation and large aerodynamic noise, which limits the optimization of the air outlet grille. In other existing technologies, the radial ribs of the air outlet grille are designed to have a shape with a gradually changing angle in the extension direction. However, since the air outlet requirements at different radial positions of the air outlet grille do not change linearly, this structure cannot adapt to the air outlet requirements at different radial positions of the air outlet grille, and there is still flow separation and large aerodynamic noise. This design cannot adapt to the incoming flow, and the optimization of the air outlet grille is limited. Summary of the Invention

[0039] In related technologies, air conditioning equipment is generally provided with a wind wheel, and the air outlet mesh cover is located downstream of the wind wheel in the air flow direction, that is, the air outlet mesh cover is generally set at the outflow to prevent outside people or objects from contacting the structure inside the air conditioning equipment.
[0040] In order to prevent the structure of the air outlet grille from interfering with the air outlet, some existing technologies have proposed an air outlet grille structure, which is designed to suppress the interference of the air outlet flow of the air outlet grille by limiting the pressure surface angle and the suction surface angle of the radial ribs of the air outlet grille. However, when the wind wheel drives the airflow, the velocity direction of the airflow intersects with the surface of the radial ribs, causing the radial ribs to affect the air outlet, resulting in flow separation and large aerodynamic noise, which limits the optimization of the air outlet grille. In other existing technologies, the radial ribs of the air outlet grille are designed to have a shape with a gradually changing angle in the extension direction. However, since the air outlet requirements at different radial positions of the air outlet grille do not change linearly, this structure cannot adapt to the air outlet requirements at different radial positions of the air outlet grille, and there is still flow separation and large aerodynamic noise. This design cannot adapt to the incoming flow, and the optimization of the air outlet grille is limited.
[0041] Reference below Figure 1-Figure 4 An air outlet grille 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention is described.
[0042] like Figure 1-Figure 3As shown, the air outlet mesh cover 1 according to the present invention includes: a frame 10 and a first air guide rib 20, and the frame 10 defines an installation space inside; the first air guide rib 20 is located in the installation space and extends radially along the frame 10; wherein the cross section of the first air guide rib 20 in the extension direction is a first cross section S1, and the line connecting the points at which the air outlet end 101 and the windward end 102 of the first air guide rib 20 are farthest from each other on the first cross section S1 is a first line L1, and the angle between the first line L1 and the axial direction of the frame 10 is α; the first air guide rib 20 has a first position, a second position and a third position arranged in sequence and spaced apart in the radial direction, and the angle between the first line L1 and the axial direction of the frame 10 at the first position of the first air guide rib 20 is α1, the angle between the first line L1 and the axial direction of the frame 10 at the second position of the first air guide rib 20 is α2, and the angle between the first line L1 and the axial direction of the frame 10 at the third position of the first air guide rib 20 is α3, satisfying: α2<
[0043] α1, and α2<α3.
[0044] Specifically, the air outlet grille 1 can be used in an air conditioning device. In some specific embodiments, the air conditioning device can be an outdoor air conditioner. The air outlet grille 1 is disposed at the air outlet of the outdoor air conditioner, and the windward end 102 of the air guide ribs of the air outlet grille 1 is located upstream in the airflow direction, while the air outlet end 101 of the air guide ribs is located downstream in the airflow direction. A wind wheel is disposed within the air conditioning device. The rotation axis of the wind wheel blades can be used as the axial direction of the air outlet grille 1, and the radial and circumferential directions of the air outlet grille 1 can be determined.
[0045] Here, as Figure 1 、 Figure 2 As shown, the air outlet grille 1 has a first air guide rib 20, which extends radially along the frame 10. Figure 3 , Figure 3 The cross-section of the first air guide rib 20 in its extension direction, i.e., the first cross-section S1, has a first position, a second position, and a third position in its extension direction. The first connecting line L1 corresponding to the first position, the second position, and the third position has different angles α with the axial direction of the frame 10. Furthermore, the angle α2 between the first connecting line L1 and the axial direction of the frame 10 corresponding to the second position between the first position and the third position is smaller than the angles α1 and α3 corresponding to the first and third positions. In other words, the angle α of the first air guide rib 20 varies in the radial direction. By defining the angle α at at least three locations in the extension direction of the first air guide rib 20, the cross-sectional shape of the first air guide rib 20 at different radial positions is defined, allowing the first air guide rib 20 to better adapt to the incoming flow.
[0046] According to the air outlet mesh cover 1 of the present invention, the shape of the first air guide rib 20 can be optimized by limiting the radial angle change of the first air guide rib 20, so that the first air guide rib 20 can adapt to the air outlet requirements of different radial positions of the air outlet mesh cover 1, making the first air guide rib 20 more adaptable to the incoming flow, and can suppress the flow separation of the air flow through the air outlet mesh cover 1, thereby reducing the aerodynamic noise caused by the air flow through the air outlet mesh cover 1, achieving noise reduction processing of the air conditioning equipment, and improving the user experience.
[0047] Furthermore, the first air guide rib 20 extending in the radial direction of the frame 10 may mean that the extending direction of the first air guide rib 20 is consistent with the radial direction of the frame 10, or may mean that the extending direction of the first air guide rib 20 may intersect with the radial direction of the frame 10, and the first air guide rib 20 has a portion extending in the radial direction of the frame 10, which can be referred to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 The first air guide rib 20 extends radially along the frame 10 and is tilted circumferentially. The extension direction of the first air guide rib 20 can be designed according to actual needs and is not limited here.
[0048] It is worth mentioning that the air outlet mesh cover 1 according to the present invention is mainly used for the outdoor unit of the air conditioner. The outdoor unit of the air conditioner adopts an axial flow fan wheel. The air outlet velocity V at the air outlet of the outdoor unit of the air conditioner can be decomposed in the axial, radial and circumferential directions of the fan wheel blades, and decomposed into axial velocity V1, radial velocity V2, and circumferential velocity V3. At the same time, the radial and axial angles of the air outlet velocity V are defined as θ1, and the tangential and axial angles of the air outlet velocity V are defined as θ2.
[0049] Since the direction of the axial flow wind wheel wind speed V may be different in the radial direction of the wind wheel blade, θ1 and θ2 will also change with time and radial position. According to simulation and experimental research, θ2 is larger than θ1, and according to fluid simulation tests, you can refer to Figure 5 The tangential and axial angle θ2 of the air flow velocity V at the air outlet of the air conditioner outdoor unit has a high correlation with the radial distribution of the air outlet mesh cover 1. Based on this, the shape of the first air guide rib 20 on the air outlet mesh cover 1 can be designed so that the first air guide rib 20 can adapt to the air outlet requirements of different radial positions of the air outlet mesh cover 1.
[0050] Specifically, refer to Figure 5 , θ2 changes regularly with the increase of radius, and the shape of the first air guide rib 20 and the angle α between the first connecting line L1 and the axial direction should change accordingly to adapt to the airflow angle that changes with the radial distribution. The specific positions of the first position, the second position and the third position can be selected according to the change pattern of θ2. Figure 5In the embodiment, θ2 first remains stable within a radius range and is approximately constant. The first air guide rib 20 can be taken as a first position within the radius range. At the first position, the air velocity V at the air outlet gradually increases, and the angle α1 between the first connecting line L1 of the first air guide rib 20 at the first position and the axial direction is also larger, so as to guide more airflow to diffuse radially outward and ensure a larger air outlet range. As the radius increases, θ2 gradually decreases. The first air guide rib 20 can be taken as a second position within the radius range. At the second position, the air velocity V at the air outlet still increases. The angle α2 between the first connecting line L1 of the first air guide rib 20 at the second position and the axial direction can also be reduced according to actual conditions to prevent the first air guide rib 20 from blocking the airflow, thereby guiding more airflow to diffuse forward along the axial direction and ensuring air volume. As the radius continues to increase, θ2 gradually increases, and the first air guide rib 20 can be located at a point within this radius as the third position. At the third position, the air velocity V at the air outlet decreases, and the angle α3 between the first connecting line L1 of the first air guide rib 20 at the third position and the axial direction is larger, thereby guiding more airflow to diffuse radially outward and ensuring a larger air outlet range. Of course, the selection of the first position, the second position, and the third position is not limited to the above.
[0051] According to the changing law of θ2, the shape of the first air guide rib 20 and the angle α between the first connecting line L1 of the first air guide rib 20 and the axial direction are optimized so that the first air guide rib 20 can adapt to the airflow angle that changes with the radial distribution, thereby suppressing the air flow interference and reducing the aerodynamic noise.
[0052] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the first position is located radially inside the third position, satisfying: α1<α3. Specifically, the first position, the second position, and the third position are sequentially arranged from the radial inside to the radial outside of the air outlet mesh cover 1. As described above, the air outlet velocity V at the air outlet gradually increases at the first position and gradually decreases at the third position. The relationship between the angle α between the first connecting line L1 at the first position and the third position and the axial direction is designed to be α1<α3, so as to guide more airflow to diffuse radially outward, ensure that the air outlet mesh cover 1 has a larger air outlet range, thereby adapting to the air outlet requirements of different radial positions of the air outlet mesh cover 1, and suppressing the flow separation of the airflow passing through the air outlet mesh cover 1.
[0053] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the following conditions are met: α1 is in the range of 21° to 25°, α2 is in the range of 16° to 20°, and α3 is in the range of 26° to 30°. This allows the first air guide ribs 20 to better adapt to the air outlet requirements at different radial positions of the air outlet grille 1, allowing the first air guide ribs 20 to adapt to the incoming air flow at different radial positions, thereby better suppressing air flow interference and reducing aerodynamic noise. In some specific embodiments, α1 is 24°, α2 is 18°, and α3 is 26°.
[0054] In some embodiments, the angle θ between the first connecting line L1 of the first air guide rib 20 and the axial direction of the frame 10 gradually changes in the radial direction. In this case, the first air guide rib 20 as a whole resembles a spiral. In other embodiments, the first air guide rib 20 includes multiple rib sections arranged sequentially in the radial direction. The angle θ between the first connecting line L1 of each rib section and the axial direction of the frame 10 gradually changes in the radial direction. In this case, each rib section resembles a spiral, and the first air guide rib 20 is composed of multiple spiral ribs connected in sequence.
[0055] And in Figure 1-Figure 2 In the illustrated embodiment, the first air guide rib 20 comprises multiple radially arranged rib segments. The first line L1 connecting any two radial positions of each rib segment forms the same angle α with the axial direction of the frame 10. The first line L1 connecting at least two rib segments forms different angles α with the axial direction of the frame 10. That is, a single rib segment uses a single angle α, while different rib segments may use different angles α. Furthermore, at least two rib segments have different angles α, with the first or third position located on one rib segment and the second position located on another rib segment, and the relationship α2 < α1 or α2 < α3 is satisfied.
[0056] Specifically, two adjacent rib sections can be connected directly or through other structures, and can be arranged radially opposite each other or staggered in the radial direction. Each rib section can also include multiple small ribs, and the multiple small ribs in each rib section have the same angle α. Adjacent small ribs can also be connected directly or through other structures, and can be arranged radially opposite each other or staggered in the radial direction. The design can be based on actual needs, and the specific structure of the ribs and the arrangement of adjacent ribs are not limited here.
[0057] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the angle α between the first connecting line L1 of two radially adjacent rib segments and the axial direction of the frame 10 is different. In other words, the angle α between the two adjacent rib segments is different. In this case, the first position can be located on one rib segment, the second position on the other rib segment, and α2 < α1 is satisfied. Alternatively, the third position can be located on one rib segment, the second position on the other rib segment, and α2 < α3 is satisfied. The different angles α between the two adjacent rib segments enable the first air guide rib 20 to adapt to airflow angles that vary with radial distribution, thereby suppressing airflow interference and reducing aerodynamic noise.
[0058] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the rib structure is composed of at least three sections, and the first rib, the second rib, and the third rib are arranged in sequence from the radial inside to the radial outside. The first position is located at the first rib, the second position is located at the second rib, and the third position is located at the third rib. Specifically, in the direction from the radial inside to the radial outside of the frame 10, the first rib, the second rib, and the third rib are sequentially arranged and connected to form the first wind guide rib 20. As mentioned above, the angles α between the two adjacent sections of the ribs are different. The first position is located at the first rib, the second position is located at the second rib, and the third position is located at the third rib, so as to satisfy α2<α1 and α2<α3. You can refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 Each section of ribs includes multiple small ribs, and the angles α of the multiple small ribs in each section of ribs are the same. Adjacent small ribs can be directly connected or connected through other structures, and two adjacent small ribs can be arranged opposite each other in the radial direction or staggered in the radial direction.
[0059] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the first air guide rib 20 further includes a first transition section, the first transition section is arranged between the first rib and the second rib, and the angle α between the first connecting line L1 of the first transition section and the axial direction of the frame 10 gradually decreases in the radial direction; and / or the first air guide rib 20 further includes a second transition section, the second transition section is arranged between the second rib and the third rib, and the angle α between the first connecting line L1 of the second transition section and the axial direction of the frame 10 gradually increases in the radial direction. Specifically, two adjacent sections of ribs can be connected by a transition section, and the angle α between the first connecting line L1 of the transition section and the axial direction of the frame 10 gradually changes in the radial direction. In this case, the transition section is similar to a spiral shape, and the transition section is constructed as at least one for transitionally connecting at least two adjacent ribs. The transition section can also guide the direction of airflow. The provision of the transition section can reduce the resistance to airflow at the connection between the two adjacent sections of ribs.
[0060] For example, a first transition section can be designed between the first rib and the second rib. Since the angle α2 of the second rib is greater than the angle α1 of the first rib, the first transition section connected between the first rib and the second rib needs to have a structural feature in which the angle α gradually decreases in the radial direction, so as to transitionally connect the first rib and the second rib; a second transition section can also be designed between the second rib and the third rib. Since the angle α2 of the second rib is less than the angle α3 of the third rib, the second transition section connected between the second rib and the third rib needs to have a structural feature in which the angle α gradually increases in the radial direction, so as to transitionally connect the second rib and the third rib.
[0061] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the frame 10 is constructed as an annular frame or a rectangular frame, the radially outer end of the first air guide rib 20 is suitable for connection with the frame 10, and the radial distance between any position of the first air guide rib 20 and the axis of the frame 10 is r; wherein, Figure 2 As shown, the radius of the annular frame is R, and the angle α between the first connecting line L1 at any radial position of the first air guide rib 20 and the axial direction of the frame 10 satisfies: or as Figure 1 As shown, the radius of the inscribed circle of the rectangular frame is R, the radius of the circumscribed circle is R0, and the angle α between the first connecting line L1 at any radial position of the first air guide rib 20 and the axial direction of the frame 10 satisfies:
[0062] Specifically, if Figure 1 、 Figure 2 As shown, the frame 10 defines an installation space, and the first air guide ribs 20 are located in the installation space, with radially outer ends connected to the frame 10. Generally speaking, the radius of the axial flow impeller is consistent with the inscribed circle of the frame 10. Since the shape of the frame 10 may vary, when the frame 10 is annular, the inner diameter of the annular frame is R, and when the frame 10 is rectangular, the radius of the inscribed circle of the rectangular frame is R.
[0063] refer to Figure 5 , the specific positions of the first position, the second position and the third position can be selected according to the change law of θ2, and the ribs of the first air guide rib 20 are divided into multiple regions from the radial inner side to the radial outer side, and region 1 satisfies: 0≤r<0.46R, the first position is located in region 1, and the angle α of the ribs located in region 1 is the same and is α1; region 2 satisfies: 0.46R≤r<0.81R, the second position is located in region 2, and the angle α of the ribs located in region 2 is the same and is α2; region 3 satisfies: 0.81R≤r, and In the annular frame, the maximum radial distance between the first air guide rib 20 and the axis of the frame 10 at any position in the radial direction is the inner diameter R, that is, in the annular frame, region 3 satisfies: 0.81R≤r≤R, while in the rectangular frame, the maximum radial distance between the first air guide rib 20 and the axis of the frame 10 at any position in the radial direction is the circumscribed circle radius R0, that is, in the rectangular frame, region 3 satisfies: 0.81R≤r≤R0. The third position is located in region 3, and the angle α of the ribs located in region 3 is the same and is α3. In the above three regions, the first air guide ribs 20 are designed with different angles α to adapt to the airflow angle of each region, so that the first air guide ribs 20 can adapt to the airflow angle that changes with the radial distribution, thereby suppressing the interference of the wind flow and reducing the aerodynamic noise.
[0064] In general, when the frame 10 is annular, the angle α between the first connecting line L1 at any radial position of the first air guide rib 20 and the axial direction of the frame 10 satisfies: When the frame 10 is rectangular, the angle α between the first connecting line L1 at any radial position of the first air guide rib 20 and the axial direction of the frame 10 satisfies:

[0066] According to some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1-Figure 2 As shown, the air outlet mesh cover 1 also includes a second air guide rib 30. The second air guide rib 30 is located in the installation space and is constructed as a ring coaxial with the frame 10. The second air guide rib 30 is located between two radially adjacent ribs. The radial inner wall and the radial outer wall of the second air guide rib 30 are respectively connected to the two radially adjacent ribs. In other words, the two radially adjacent ribs can be connected by the second air guide rib 30, and the angle α between the two ribs can be the same or different. The second air guide rib 30 can enhance the structural strength of the first air guide rib 20, and the first air guide rib 20 and the second air guide rib 30 together constitute the "skeleton" of the air outlet mesh cover 1, which can play a role in structural support and strengthening the rigidity of the air outlet mesh cover 1, ensuring that the air outlet mesh cover 1 does not deform or vibrate under long-term use and various external forces, and provides safety protection to prevent human bodies or foreign objects from contacting the high-speed rotating wind wheel blades. It can also optimize airflow and reduce noise.
[0067] According to some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1-Figure 2 As shown, the second air guide ribs 30 are configured as a plurality of radially spaced ribs having different inner diameters. At least one second air guide rib 30 is connected to two rib sections having different angles α between the first connecting line L1 and the axial direction of the frame 10. Furthermore, at least one second air guide rib 30 is connected to two rib sections having the same angle α between the first connecting line L1 and the axial direction of the frame 10. Specifically, two adjacent rib sections can be connected by the second air guide rib 30, and the angle α between the two adjacent rib sections can be the same or different.
[0068] As mentioned above, the angle α between the first rib and the second rib is different, and the second wind guide rib 30 can be connected to the first rib and the second rib respectively. The first rib is composed of multiple small ribs with the same angle α, and the second wind guide rib 30 can also be connected to two adjacent small ribs in the first rib. Figure 1 and Figure 2 In the illustrated embodiment, a second wind guide rib 30 with a smaller inner diameter connects the first rib and the second rib, another second wind guide rib 30 with a larger inner diameter connects the second rib and the third rib, and multiple small ribs in the first rib are connected through multiple second wind guide ribs 30 with different inner diameters. The connection relationship between the second rib and the third rib and the second wind guide rib 30 is the same as the first rib, and will not be repeated here.
[0069] According to some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 4As shown, the cross-section of the second air guide rib 30 in the extension direction is the second cross-section S2, and the line connecting the points at which the air outlet end 101 and the windward end 102 of the second air guide rib 30 on the second cross-section S2 are farthest from each other is the second line L2. The angle between the second line L2 and the axial direction of the frame 10 is β, and the value range of β is 0° to 5°. Here, the second air guide rib 30 can form a certain angle with the rotation axis of the wind wheel blade on the second cross section S2, so that the second air guide rib 30 can be more adaptable to the incoming flow. Specifically, the angle β between the second line L2 and the axial direction of the frame 10 is β, and the value range of β is 0°~5°. By limiting the angle β between the second line L2 of the second air guide rib 30 and the axial direction of the frame 10, the second air guide rib 30 can adapt to the air outlet requirements of the air outlet grille 1, making the second air guide rib 30 more adaptable to the incoming flow, and can suppress the flow separation of the air flow through the air outlet grille 1, thereby reducing the aerodynamic noise caused by the air flow through the air outlet grille 1, realizing noise reduction processing of the air conditioning equipment, and improving the user experience.
[0070] According to some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 4 As shown, in the second cross-section S2, the second air guide rib 30 gradually decreases in width from the windward end 102 to the air outlet end 101. Specifically, in the direction of airflow, the second air guide rib 30 should be streamlined, with a thicker front and a thinner back, and its included angle β should cater to the airflow angle in the area. The second air guide rib 30 is wider at the windward end 102 to accommodate airflow at different inflow angles, and is narrower at the air outlet end 101 to reduce vortices formed by flow separation there.
[0071] In some embodiments, the second wind guide ribs 30 are constructed to be multiple and spaced apart in the radial direction. The shape of the second wind guide ribs 30 may refer to the angle β of the second wind guide ribs 30 or the width in the direction from the windward end 102 to the wind outlet end 101. The shapes of different second wind guide ribs 30 can be adjusted according to the incoming flow angle at the corresponding radius.
[0072] According to some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1-Figure 2 As shown, the first wind guide ribs 20 are constructed to be multiple and spaced apart in the circumferential direction of the frame 10, and the distance between two adjacent first wind guide ribs 20 gradually increases from the radial inner side to the radial outer side. Furthermore, the first wind guide ribs 20 extend radially along the frame 10 and are arranged circumferentially at an angle to form radial ribs extending from the radial inner side to the radial outer side.
[0073] In some embodiments, the air outlet grille 1 is provided with a first air guide rib 20 and a second air guide rib 30, and the first air guide rib 20 is designed as a radial rib radiating from the projection of the wind wheel axis to the surrounding area, and the second air guide rib 30 is designed as an annular rib coaxial with the frame 10. The air outlet grille 1 designed according to the present invention can minimize the density of the radial ribs while complying with safety regulations, thereby reducing the obstruction of the radial ribs to the circumferential flow of the outlet velocity. Furthermore, the safety clearance of the air outlet grille 1 is controlled by a relatively dense annular rib distributed in an annular pattern around the wind wheel axis on the air outlet grille 1.

[0075] The air conditioning device according to the present invention includes the air outlet mesh cover 1 described in any of the above embodiments. Since the air conditioning device according to the present invention is provided with the air outlet mesh cover 1 according to the above embodiments, the air conditioning device provides a better user experience.
[0076] To sum up, according to the air outlet mesh cover 1 of the present invention, the cross-sectional shape of the first air guide rib 20 at different radial positions and the angle between the first connecting line L1 and the axial direction of the frame 10 are designed, so that the shape of the first air guide rib 20 can be optimized, so that the first air guide rib 20 can adapt to the air outlet requirements at different radial positions of the air outlet mesh cover 1, and the first air guide rib 20 can be more adapted to the incoming flow, and can suppress the flow separation of the airflow through the air outlet mesh cover 1, thereby reducing the aerodynamic noise caused by the airflow through the air outlet mesh cover 1, realizing noise reduction processing of the air conditioning equipment, and improving the user experience.
