[0048] The following describes embodiments of the present invention in detail, 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 intended to be used to explain the present invention, and are not to be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0049] The following disclosure provides numerous different embodiments or examples for implementing various structures of the invention. To simplify the disclosure, specific examples of components and arrangements are described below. These are merely examples and are not intended to limit the invention. Furthermore, reference numerals and / or letters may be repeated in different examples. Such repetition is for simplification and clarity and does not in itself indicate a relationship between the various embodiments and / or arrangements discussed. Additionally, examples of various specific processes and materials are provided in this invention; however, those skilled in the art will recognize the applicability of other processes and / or the use of other materials.

[0050] The top-mounted air outlet component 100 according to a first aspect of the present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0051] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the top-mounted air outlet component 100, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, it includes: an air outlet frame 1 and an air guide assembly 2. A first air outlet 11 is formed on the top of the air outlet frame 1. The air guide assembly 2 is disposed on the air outlet frame 1 and includes a first air guide component 21 and a second air guide component 22, as shown. Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the first air guide 21 is movably disposed at the first air outlet 11 to open and close the first air outlet 11, and a second air outlet 211 is formed on the first air guide 21. The second air guide 22 is movably disposed at the second air outlet 211 to open and close the second air outlet 211.

[0052] The top-discharge air component 100 of this embodiment of the invention is used in an air supply device and is disposed at the top of the air supply device. By providing the top-discharge air component 100 of this embodiment of the invention, the air supply distance of the air supply device can be increased, and the air supply range of the air supply device can be improved. Exemplarily, the air supply device includes, but is not limited to, various types of air conditioners, such as wall-mounted air conditioners, floor-standing air conditioners, portable air conditioners, window air conditioners, fresh air units, ducted air conditioners, etc.

[0053] The first air outlet 11 is formed at the top of the air outlet frame 1. Airflow from the first air outlet 11 at the top can increase the air supply range. The first air guide 21 is movably disposed at the first air outlet 11 to open and close the first air outlet 11. When the first air guide 21 opens the first air outlet 11, airflow can be sent out from the first air outlet 11; when the first air guide 21 blocks the first air outlet 11, the first air guide 21 prevents airflow from the first air outlet 11.

[0054] The opening degree of the first air guide 21 directly affects the air outlet effect of the first air outlet 11. Taking the rotation of the first air guide 21 relative to the first air outlet 11 as an example, a larger rotation angle results in a larger outflow cross-sectional area, which is beneficial for increasing the air volume. Conversely, a smaller rotation angle results in a smaller outflow cross-sectional area, leading to a corresponding decrease in air volume. While an excessively large rotation angle can increase air volume, it also causes an excessively large stroke, reducing stability. Furthermore, the first air guide occupies external space, increasing the volume of the top-outlet component. Therefore, both excessively large and excessively small openings of the first air guide are detrimental to the operation of the top-outlet component.

[0055] It is worth noting that the first air guide 21 is movably disposed at the first air outlet 11. The first air guide 21 is at least partially located on the airflow path of the first air outlet 11. Therefore, regardless of the size of the opening of the first air guide 21, it will cause some obstruction to the airflow of the first air outlet 11.

[0056] In this embodiment of the invention, the top-outlet air component 100 has a second air outlet 211 formed on the first air guide 21. The second air guide 22 is movably disposed at the second air outlet 211 to open and close the second air outlet 211. When the second air guide 22 opens the second air outlet 211, airflow can be sent out not only from the first air outlet 11 but also from the second air outlet 211, thereby increasing the airflow of the top-outlet air component 100. When the second air guide 22 closes the second air outlet 211, the second air guide 22 blocks the airflow from being sent out from the second air outlet 211.

[0057] By providing a second air outlet 211 on the first air guide 21, the air volume of the top-discharge component 100 can be increased. This eliminates the need for an excessively large opening of the first air guide 21; a smaller opening is sufficient to achieve a larger air volume. This improves the operational reliability of the first air guide 21 and reduces the space occupied by the top-discharge component 100. The second air outlet 211, which is not lower than the first air outlet 11, increases the air volume without affecting the air delivery range.

[0058] In addition, by forming a second air outlet 211 on the first air guide 21, the air delivery effect of the top air outlet component 100 can be improved. For example, the first air outlet 11 and the second air outlet 211 have different air delivery directions, that is, compared with air delivery using only the first air outlet 11, the air delivery effect of the top air outlet component 100 can be improved.

[0059] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the top-outlet air component 100 provides a second air outlet 211 on the first air guide 21, and the airflow can be sent out from the second air outlet 211, thereby increasing the air volume of the top-outlet air component 100. The first air guide 21 can have a large air volume with a small opening, and it is not necessary to set the opening of the first air guide 21 too large, thereby improving the movement reliability of the first air guide 21 and reducing the space occupied by the top-outlet air component 100.

[0060] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the first air guide 21 is rotatably connected to the air outlet frame 1, and the second air guide 22 is rotatably connected to the first air guide 21.

[0061] The rotary connection method is simple, which simplifies the connection structure between the first air guide 21 and the air outlet frame 1, as well as the connection structure between the second air guide 22 and the first air guide 21, thus reducing costs. Furthermore, the rotary motion is simple and easy to drive, improving the response speed of the first air guide 21 in switching the first air outlet 11, and the response speed of the second air guide 22 in switching the second air outlet 211.

[0062] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 5 As shown, the air outlet frame 1 is equipped with a driving device 3, which is connected to the first air guide 21 to drive the first air guide 21 to rotate relative to the air outlet frame 1.

[0063] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the drive device 3 is a motor 30. (As indicated...) Figure 7 As shown, a motor mounting part 15 is provided on the air outlet frame 1, and the motor 30 is connected to the air outlet frame 1 through the motor mounting part 15.

[0064] like Figure 7 and Figure 9 As shown, the air outlet frame 1 is also provided with a motor shaft through hole 16, such as Figure 8 As shown, the motor shaft 31 of the motor 30 passes through the motor shaft through hole 16 and is connected to the first air guide 21. The motor shaft 31 and the motor shaft through hole 16 are rotatably engaged. When the motor 30 is started, the motor shaft 31 of the motor 30 rotates to drive the first air guide 21 to rotate relative to the air outlet frame 1.

[0065] In some embodiments of the present invention, the second air guide 22 is rotatably connected to the first air guide 21, and the second air guide 22 is slidably engaged with the air outlet frame 1 so that the rotation of the first air guide 21 drives the second air guide 22 to rotate.

[0066] The first air guide 21 is the driving component, and the second air guide 22 is the driven component. The rotation of the first air guide 21 drives the rotation of the second air guide 22. Only one power component, the drive device 3, is needed to drive the rotation of the first air guide 21 and the second air guide 22, which can save the power component that drives the rotation of the second air guide 22, thereby reducing the difficulty of layout and saving manufacturing costs.

[0067] The second air guide 22 rotates with the first air guide 21. Therefore, the distance between the rotating engagement point of the second air guide 22 and the first air guide 21 and the air outlet frame 1 changes with the rotation of the first air guide 21. The second air guide 22 slides with the air outlet frame 1, which can adapt to the positional change of the second air guide 22 as the first air guide 21 moves, thereby improving the movement stability of the second air guide 22.

[0068] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 4 As shown, the opening direction of the first air guide 21 is the same as that of the second air guide 22, and when the first air guide 21 is rotated to the limit opening position, the rotation angle of the second air guide 22 is greater than that of the first air guide 21.

[0069] The opening direction of the first air guide 21 is the same as that of the second air guide 22. The airflow from the second air outlet 211 increases the air volume without affecting the airflow effect of the first air outlet 11. Figure 4 Taking the coordinates shown as an example, the first air guide 21 and the second air guide 22 both open forward, and the first air outlet 11 and the second air outlet 211 both send air forward.

[0070] It is worth noting that when the first air guide 21 rotates to open the first air outlet 11, at least a portion of the first air guide 21 defines the airflow path when it reaches its maximum open position. However, if the rotation angle of the second air guide 22 mounted on the first air guide is less than that of the first air guide, the second air guide will rotate into the airflow path of the first air outlet, increasing obstruction to the airflow. Therefore, when the first air guide 21 reaches its maximum open position, the rotation angle of the second air guide 22 is greater than that of the first air guide 21, which reduces interference with the airflow to the first air outlet 11 and helps to increase the airflow volume.

[0071] In other embodiments of the present invention, the opening direction of the first air guide 21 and the opening direction of the second air guide 22 are different. For example, the first air guide 21 opens forward, and the second air guide 22 opens to the left or right. The first air guide 21 and the second air guide 22 cooperate with each other to drive the airflow to flow to the left or right, thereby increasing the air delivery range of the top air outlet component 100.

[0072] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 6 and Figure 10 As shown, the rotation axis a2 of the second air guide and the rotation axis a1 of the first air guide both extend in the left and right direction, and the opening direction of the first air guide 21 and the second air guide 22 is the same and both open forward.

[0073] The rotation axis a1 of the first air guide is located at the rear of the first air guide 21. The first air guide 21 rotates to open the first air outlet 11 and guides the air outlet 11 forward. The rotation axis a2 of the second air guide is located at the middle of the first air guide 21 in the front-rear direction. The second air guide 22 can open the second air outlet 211 by rotating a small angle, guiding the airflow out of the second air outlet 211 and increasing the air volume of the top air outlet component 100.

[0074] The sliding part 221 of the second air guide 22 and the air outlet frame 1 is located at the rear of the second air guide 22. The distance from the sliding part 221 to the point where the second air guide 22 and the first air guide 21 rotate are less than the distance to the rotation axis a1 of the first air guide. Therefore, when the first air guide 21 rotates and drives the second air guide 22 to rotate, the rotation angle of the second air guide 22 is greater than the rotation angle of the first air guide 21.

[0075] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the second air guide 22 is smaller in the front-to-back direction than the first air guide 21. Therefore, when the first air guide 21 is rotated to its maximum open position, the rotation angle of the second air guide 22 is greater than that of the first air guide 21 to increase the air volume. However, in the vertical direction, the height of the second air guide 22 is less than that of the first air guide 21, so it does not occupy additional vertical space and does not increase the volume of the top air outlet component 100 in the vertical direction.

[0076] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 6 and Figure 9 As shown, the air outlet frame 1 includes a limiting part 12, and the limiting part 12 has a sliding hole 121 that extends downward from back to front, as shown. Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a pin 4 is provided on the sliding part 221. The pin 4 is slidably provided in the sliding hole 121 along the extension direction of the sliding hole 121. The sliding part 221 can slide along the extension direction of the sliding hole 121 to realize the sliding cooperation between the second air guide 22 and the air outlet frame 1.

[0077] The following is for reference. Figure 3 and Figure 4 Briefly describe the movement process of the sliding part 221.

[0078] like Figure 3As shown, when the top air outlet component 100 is in the closed state, the pin 4 on the sliding part 221 is located above and behind the sliding hole 121, as shown. Figure 4 As shown, when the top air outlet component 100 switches from the closed state to the open state, the second air guide 22 is driven to rotate by the first air guide 21, and the pin 4 on the sliding part 221 moves from back to front and downward along the sliding hole 121, moving to the lower front side of the sliding hole 121.

[0079] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 6 and Figure 10 As shown, there are two sliding parts 221, as follows: Figure 11 As shown, the sliding part 221 has a first pin mounting hole 2211, and the pin 4 passes through two first pin mounting holes 2211 to be mounted on the sliding part 221. Figure 10 As shown, the two sliding parts 221 clamp the limiting part 12, and the pin 4 on the sliding part 221 passes through the sliding hole 121 to move along the extension direction of the sliding hole 121.

[0080] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 7 and Figure 9 As shown, the air outlet frame 1 includes a rear seat 13 and a cantilever 14 extending forward from the rear seat 13. The cantilever 14 consists of three cantilever arms, including two first cantilever arms 141 and a second cantilever arm 142 located between the two first cantilever arms 141. The first air guide 21 is rotatably connected to at least one first cantilever arm 141, and the sliding part 221 is slidably engaged with the second cantilever arm 142.

[0081] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 7 and Figure 9 As shown, the air outlet frame 1 includes a limiting part 12, and a sliding hole 121 extending downward from back to front is provided on the limiting part 12. The limiting part 12 is disposed on the second cantilever 142.

[0082] like Figure 7 As shown, the drive unit 3 is mounted on the first cantilever 141 located on the left side. The first cantilever 141 on the left side has a motor shaft through-hole 16 through which the motor shaft 31 of the power supply 30 passes. Figure 14 As shown, the first air guide 21 has a motor shaft hole 215. The motor shaft 31 passes through the motor shaft through hole 16 and is inserted into the motor shaft hole 215, and is stably connected to the first air guide 21. The motor 30 drives the motor shaft 31 to rotate, that is, drives the first air guide 21 to rotate relative to the first cantilever 141.

[0083] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 13 As shown, a mounting part 17 is connected to the rear seat portion 13, and the mounting part 17 is disposed adjacent to the second cantilever 142 on the right side. Figure 5 and Figure 12 As shown, the first air guide 21 includes a pin arm 213, which is rotatably connected to the mounting part 17 via a second pin 5.

[0084] like Figure 14 As shown, a pin through hole 2131 is provided on the pin arm 213, as... Figure 13 As shown, the mounting part 17 has a second pin mounting hole 171, and there are two mounting parts 17, as shown. Figure 12 As shown, two mounting portions 17 clamp a pin arm 213. A second pin 5 passes through two second pin mounting holes 171 and is fixedly connected to the mounting portion 17. The second pin 5 passes through a pin through hole 2131 and is rotatably engaged with the pin arm 213. The first air guide 21 is rotatably engaged with the mounting portion 17 via the second pin 5. The axis of the second pin 5 and the axis of the motor shaft 31 are on the same straight line to improve the rotational stability of the first air guide 21.

[0085] In some embodiments of the present invention, one of the first air guide 21 and the second air guide 22 is provided with a rotating shaft, and the other of the first air guide 21 and the second air guide 22 is provided with a shaft hole that cooperates with the rotating shaft.

[0086] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 11 As shown, the second air guide 22 is equipped with a rotating shaft 225, such as... Figure 14 As shown, the first air guide 21 has a shaft hole 2141. Figure 11 As shown, the second air guide 22 is provided with an extension arm 224 extending in the vertical direction. There are two extension arms 224, which are located at the left and right ends of the second air guide 22. A rotating shaft 225 extending in the horizontal direction is provided on the opposite side of the extension arm 224.

[0087] like Figure 14 As shown, the first air guide 21 is provided with a rotating arm 214 extending in the vertical direction. There are two rotating arms 214 located on the left and right sides of the second air outlet 211. The rotating arm 214 is provided with a shaft hole 2141 that extends in the left and right direction. The rotating shaft 225 extends into the shaft hole 2141 so that the second air guide 22 and the first air guide 21 can be rotatably connected.

[0088] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 14 and Figure 15 As shown, the rotating arm 214 is also provided with a relief groove 2142 extending to connect with the shaft hole 2141. The relief groove 2142 facilitates the assembly connection of the rotating shaft 225 into the shaft hole 2141.

[0089] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 15As shown, the first air guide 21 includes a rear edge portion 212 that defines the rear edge of the second air outlet 211, as... Figure 3 and Figure 16 As shown, the rear end of the second air guide 22 has a downwardly recessed platform 223, and a groove 222 is formed between the platform 223 and the body of the second air guide 22.

[0090] like Figure 3 As shown, when the second air guide 22 closes the second air outlet 211, the rear edge 212 is embedded in the recess 222. The recessed platform 223 is located below the rear edge 212. By setting the recessed platform 223 to form a recessed platform 222 that cooperates with the rear edge 212, the top air outlet component 100 can be made more complete when the second air guide 22 closes the second air outlet 211, reducing the sense of separation between the second air guide 22 and the first air guide 21 and improving the overall integrity of the top air outlet component 100. Furthermore, the rear edge 212 and the recessed platform 223 are directly opposite each other in the vertical direction, which can also protect the top air outlet component 100, reducing the leakage of dust and other pollutants from the second air outlet 211 into the top air outlet component 100, and improving the operational reliability and cleanliness of the top air outlet component 100.

[0093] The first air outlet 11 and the second air outlet 211 formed by the top air outlet component 100 are located above the front air outlet. The air outlet range of the air conditioner 1000 can be increased by sending air through the first air outlet 11 and the second air outlet 211. When cooling, the cold air flows out through the first air outlet 11 and the second air outlet 211, which can improve the situation of cold air blowing directly on the human body. The cold air naturally sinks from top to bottom, improving the cooling effect.

[0094] According to an embodiment of the present invention, by providing the top air outlet component 1000 of the first aspect, the air outlet effect of the air conditioner 1000 can be improved, and the space occupied above can be reduced, which is beneficial to the arrangement of the air conditioner 1000.

[0095] In some embodiments of the present invention, the air conditioner 1000 is further provided with a lower air outlet 202, which is located below the front air outlet. When the air conditioner 1000 is in heating mode, hot air can flow out from the lower air outlet 202, which can first deliver hot air to the feet, warm the feet, improve the situation of hot head and cold feet, and enhance the steady-state thermal comfort of the human body.
