Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of ceiling machine technology, and more specifically, to a housing assembly for a ceiling machine and a ceiling machine itself. Background Technology

[0002] Air conditioners are indispensable electrical appliances in people's daily lives and come in a variety of structural forms. With the continuous improvement of industrial design and the application of new technologies, materials, and shapes in air conditioners, not only have various types of air conditioners been developed, but the structures of air conditioner components have also been optimized accordingly.

[0003] Specifically, when the air conditioner is in cooling mode, it blows out cold air at a lower temperature. This cold air mixes with the warm air in the room at the air outlet, which can easily cause condensation at the air outlet and thus affect the user's actual experience. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The technical problem solved by this invention is that during the cooling mode of an air conditioner, the air conditioner blows out cold air at a lower temperature. This cold air mixes with the hot air in the room at the air outlet, which easily causes condensation at the air outlet, thus affecting the user's actual experience.

[0005] To address the aforementioned problems, the present invention provides a housing assembly for a ceiling-mounted air conditioner, comprising: a front frame assembly having an air outlet; and an air guide assembly rotatably connected to the air outlet and cooperating with the front frame assembly to form an air outlet duct; wherein the front frame assembly and / or the air guide assembly have an anti-condensation structure located within the air outlet duct.

[0006] Compared with existing technologies, the technical effects achieved by adopting this technical solution are as follows: For example, the anti-condensation structure can be simultaneously installed on the air guide assembly and the face frame assembly, which, combined with the actual operation of the ceiling-mounted air conditioner's cooling function, effectively reduces the risk of condensation.

[0007] In one embodiment of the present invention, the air guiding assembly includes an air guiding plate, wherein the length direction of the air guiding plate is defined as a first direction and the width direction of the air guiding plate is defined as a second direction; a fitting gap formed between the air guiding plate and the air outlet along the first direction is defined as a first fitting gap, and a fitting gap between the air guiding plate and the air outlet along the second direction is defined as a second fitting gap; wherein the first fitting gap is denoted as D1, the second fitting gap as D2, 3mm≤D2≤7mm, and / or, 5mm≤D1≤11mm.

[0008] Compared with existing technologies, the technical effects achieved by this solution are as follows: By rationally designing D1 and D2, for ease of understanding, the location corresponding to the formation of D1 can be defined as the first auxiliary air outlet, and the location corresponding to the formation of D2 can be defined as the second auxiliary air outlet. Compared to the narrow gaps in previous technologies, this solution, by forming the first and second auxiliary air outlets, can promptly disperse condensation formed at the first and second auxiliary air outlets, effectively avoiding the aforementioned condensation and water droplet situation.

[0009] In one embodiment of the present invention, the air guide plate includes a first air guide portion, a second air guide portion, and a connecting portion; the connecting portion is disposed inside the air outlet and is used to connect the first air guide portion and the face frame assembly; the second air guide portion is disposed at the end of the first air guide portion away from the air outlet; wherein the first air guide portion and the second air guide portion are arranged at an angle, and the first air guide portion is used to guide the airflow to the second air guide portion.

[0010] Compared with existing technologies, the technical effects achieved by adopting this technical solution are as follows: by setting the first air guide section and the second air guide section at an angle, when the airflow is led out from the internal air duct to the air guide plate, the airflow can be guided to the second air guide section through the first air guide section, which can accelerate the airflow from the air outlet duct into the indoor environment, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency between the ceiling unit and the indoor environment.

[0011] In one embodiment of the present invention, the length of the air guide plate is L, and 400mm≤L≤490mm.

[0012] In one embodiment of the present invention, the first air guide has an arc segment and the second air guide has a straight segment; wherein the included angle between the arc segment and the straight segment is α, 3°≤a≤15°, and / or the diameter of the arc segment is D, and 80mm≤D≤130mm.

[0013] Compared with existing technologies, the technical effects achieved by this solution are as follows: For example, the connection between the arc segment and the straight segment is tangential, effectively preventing the airflow from being obstructed by a protruding structure at the connection between the first and second air guides during the process of being guided by the first air guide to the second air guide. Furthermore, if the connection were concave, the airflow would easily converge there, similarly reducing the smooth flow of air out of the duct. Therefore, by utilizing the tangential connection between the arc segment and the straight segment, the efficiency of guiding airflow into the indoor environment is improved, as is the thermal interaction efficiency between the ceiling-mounted unit and the indoor environment.

[0014] In one embodiment of the present invention, the face frame assembly includes a surrounding frame and a decorative panel that cooperate with each other; the surrounding frame has an installation space for communicating with an air outlet, the installation space for installing an air guide assembly; the air guide assembly has an upper end for cooperating with the decorative panel, and the air guide assembly has a lower end for cooperating with the surrounding frame; when the air guide assembly is driven to open the air outlet, the upper end enters the installation space from the air outlet, and the lower end is raised relative to the upper end; wherein, the height H of the lower end above the end face of the decorative panel forming the air outlet is defined as 11mm≤H≤16mm.

[0015] Compared with existing technologies, the technical effect achieved by adopting this technical solution is to further improve the anti-condensation effect of the air outlet.

[0016] In one embodiment of the present invention, the face frame assembly further includes an inner air vent foam structure sandwiched between the frame and the decorative panel, the inner air vent foam structure extending at least partially into the air outlet; wherein, when the drive air guide assembly closes the air outlet, the upper end abuts against a corresponding part of the inner air vent foam structure; and / or when the drive air guide assembly opens the air outlet, an air outlet gap is formed between the upper end and the inner air vent foam structure; wherein, the air outlet gap is defined as d, 14mm≤d≤20mm.

[0017] Compared with existing technologies, the technical effect achieved by adopting this technical solution is to further improve the anti-condensation effect of the air outlet.

[0018] In one embodiment of the present invention, the air guiding assembly includes an air guiding plate for adjusting the size of the air outlet; the anti-condensation structure includes a plurality of anti-condensation protrusions disposed on the air guiding plate, the plurality of anti-condensation protrusions being spaced apart from each other and arranged along the extension direction of the air outlet duct.

[0019] Compared with existing technologies, the technical effect achieved by adopting this technical solution is to further improve the anti-condensation effect of the air outlet.

[0020] In one embodiment of the present invention, the anti-condensation structure further includes a plurality of anti-condensation grooves distributed on the portion of the face frame assembly near the air guide assembly, the plurality of anti-condensation grooves being spaced apart from each other.

[0021] Compared with existing technologies, the technical effect achieved by adopting this technical solution is to further improve the anti-condensation effect of the air outlet.

[0022] On the other hand, the present invention also provides a ceiling machine, comprising: a housing assembly as in any of the above examples.

[0023] Compared with existing technologies, the technical effects achieved by adopting this technical solution are as follows: it can achieve the technical effects corresponding to any of the above examples, which will not be elaborated here.

[0024] By adopting the technical solution of the present invention, the following technical effects can be achieved: (1) The anti-condensation structure can be installed on both the air guide assembly and the face frame assembly. Combined with the actual situation of the ceiling machine's cooling function, it effectively reduces the risk of condensation. (2) By setting the first air guide and the second air guide at an angle, when the airflow is led out from the internal air duct to the air guide plate, the airflow can be guided to the second air guide through the first air guide, which can accelerate the airflow from the air outlet duct into the indoor environment, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency between the ceiling unit and the indoor environment. (3) The connection between the arc segment and the straight segment is tangential, which effectively avoids the airflow being blocked by the protruding structure at the connection between the first and second air guides during the process of the airflow being guided from the first air guide to the second air guide. In addition, if the connection is concave, the airflow will easily converge at the concave structure, which will also reduce the smooth flow of the airflow out of the air duct. Therefore, by using the tangential connection between the arc segment and the straight segment, the efficiency of the airflow being guided to the indoor environment is improved, and the thermal interaction efficiency between the ceiling unit and the indoor environment is improved.

[0027] To make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0028] See Figure 1 This is a structural schematic diagram of the housing assembly 100 of a ceiling-mounted ceiling machine provided in an embodiment of the present invention. Combined with... Figures 2-6 Specifically, the housing assembly 100 includes, for example, a face frame assembly 10 and an air guide assembly 20. The face frame assembly 10 is provided with an air outlet 103; the air guide assembly 20 is rotatably connected to the air outlet 103 and cooperates with the face frame assembly 10 to form an air outlet duct 104; wherein, the face frame assembly 10 and / or the air guide assembly 20 are provided with an anti-condensation structure 30 located within the air outlet duct 104.

[0029] Preferably, the air guiding assembly 20 includes an air guiding plate 21. The length direction of the air guiding plate 21 is defined as a first direction 101, and the width direction of the air guiding plate 21 is defined as a second direction 102. The fitting gap between the air guiding plate 21 and the air outlet 103 along the first direction 101 is defined as a first fitting gap, and the fitting gap between the air guiding plate 21 and the air outlet 103 along the second direction 102 is defined as a second fitting gap. The first fitting gap is denoted as D1, the second fitting gap as D2, 3mm ≤ D2 ≤ 7mm, and / or 5mm ≤ D1 ≤ 11mm. For example, D1 can be any one of 5mm, 7mm, and 11mm; while D2 can be any one of 3mm, 4mm, and 7mm. For example, D1 can be 7mm, and D2 can be 5mm.

[0030] Specifically, during actual operation, the ceiling-mounted air conditioner opens or closes the air outlet 103 by adjusting the movement of the air guide plate 21 within the outlet 103. Thus, it can be understood that the air guide plate 21 and the frame assembly 10 have a clearance fit, meaning the entire area enclosed by the air guide plate 21 falls within the area enclosed by the frame assembly 10 to form the air outlet 103. It is important to note that the air outlet 103 is a point of heat interaction between the ceiling-mounted air conditioner and the indoor environment. When the ceiling-mounted air conditioner is operating in cooling mode, condensation is prone to occur near the air outlet 103. To address this issue, this technical solution, by appropriately setting the values ​​of D1 and D2, effectively solves the problem of condensation at the air outlet 103.

[0031] Furthermore, it's understandable that the design of D1 and D2 in the relevant technical solutions is primarily aimed at ensuring the normal movement of the air guide plate 21 while considering the overall aesthetics of the ceiling unit. This means designing the specific dimensions of D1 and D2 to be as small as possible to avoid excessive gaps that would be exposed in the user's field of vision, thus reducing the user experience. However, this results in a problem: the excessively small clearance prevents the airflow from inside the ceiling unit from forming sufficient thermal interaction with the air guide plate 21 at that location.

[0032] In short, due to the limited gap, when condensation occurs at the air outlet 103 formed by the air guide plate 21 or the face frame assembly 10, the airflow acting on that point cannot disperse the condensation in time, leading to condensation accumulation and eventual dripping. Therefore, in this technical solution, to address the aforementioned problem, D1 and D2 are rationally designed. For ease of understanding, the location corresponding to D1 can be defined as the first auxiliary air outlet 103, and the location corresponding to D2 can be defined as the second auxiliary air outlet 103. Compared to the narrow gaps in previous technologies, this technical solution, by forming the first and second auxiliary air outlets 103, can promptly disperse the condensation formed at the first and second auxiliary air outlets 103, effectively preventing the aforementioned dripping of condensation.

[0033] Preferably, the air guide plate 21 includes a first air guide section 211, a second air guide section 212, and a connecting section 213; the connecting section 213 is disposed inside the air outlet 103 and is used to connect the first air guide section 211 and the face frame assembly 10; the second air guide section 212 is disposed at the end of the first air guide section 211 away from the air outlet 103; wherein, the first air guide section 211 and the second air guide section 212 are arranged at an angle, and the first air guide section 211 is used to guide the airflow to the second air guide section 212.

[0034] Specifically, the ceiling unit has a fan inside that blows air out of the air outlet 103. For ease of understanding, the space where the fan is located is defined as the internal air duct. Thus, under the action of the fan, the airflow enters the air outlet duct 104 from the internal air duct and is finally discharged into the indoor environment.

[0035] In conjunction with this technical solution, by setting the first air guide section 211 and the second air guide section 212 at an angle, when the airflow is led out from the internal air duct to the air guide plate 21, the airflow can be guided to the second air guide section 212 through the first air guide section 211, which plays a role in accelerating the airflow from the air outlet duct 104 into the indoor environment, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency between the ceiling unit and the indoor environment.

[0036] Preferably, the length of the air guide plate 21 is L, and 400mm≤L≤490mm. For example, L can be any one of 400mm, 450mm, and 490mm.

[0037] Preferably, the first air guide 211 has an arc segment and the second air guide 212 has a straight segment; wherein the included angle between the arc segment and the straight segment is α, 3°≤a≤15°, and / or the diameter of the arc segment is D, and 80mm≤D≤130mm.

[0038] For example, the connection between the arc segment and the straight segment is tangential, which effectively prevents the airflow from being obstructed by the protruding structure at the connection between the first air guide 211 and the second air guide 212 during the process of being guided by the first air guide 211 to the second air guide 212. Furthermore, if the connection were concave, the airflow would easily converge at that point, similarly reducing the smooth flow of air out of the air duct 104. Therefore, by utilizing the tangential connection between the arc segment and the straight segment, the efficiency of guiding airflow into the indoor environment is improved, and the thermal interaction efficiency between the ceiling unit and the indoor environment is enhanced.

[0039] Specifically, 'a' can be any of 3°, 10°, and 15°; 'D' can be any of 80mm, 100mm, and 130mm. Specifically, when 'a' is 10°, 'D' is also 100mm.

[0040] Preferably, the face frame assembly 10 includes a surrounding frame 11 and a decorative panel 12 that cooperate with each other; the surrounding frame 11 is provided with an installation space for communicating with the air outlet 103, and the installation space is used to install the air guide assembly 20; the air guide assembly 20 is provided with an upper end for cooperating with the decorative panel 12, and the air guide assembly 20 is provided with a lower end for cooperating with the surrounding frame 11; when the air guide assembly 20 is driven to open the air outlet 103, the upper end enters the installation space from the air outlet 103, and the lower end is raised relative to the upper end; wherein, the height of the lower end above the end face of the decorative panel 12 that forms the air outlet 103 is defined as H, where 11mm≤H≤16mm.

[0041] For example, H can be any of 11mm, 15mm, and 16mm.

[0042] Preferably, the face frame assembly 10 further includes an inner air vent foam structure 13 sandwiched between the frame 11 and the decorative panel 12, the inner air vent foam structure 13 extending at least partially into the air outlet 103; wherein, when the drive air guide assembly 20 closes the air outlet 103, the upper end abuts against the corresponding part of the inner air vent foam structure 13; and / or when the drive air guide assembly 20 opens the air outlet 103, an air outlet gap is formed between the upper end and the inner air vent foam structure 13; wherein, the air outlet gap is defined as d, 14mm≤d≤20mm.

[0043] Specifically, d can take any value of 14mm, 16mm, or 20mm.

[0044] Preferably, the air guide assembly 20 includes an air guide plate 21 for adjusting the size of the air outlet 103; the anti-condensation structure 30 includes a plurality of anti-condensation protrusions 31 disposed on the air guide plate 21, the plurality of anti-condensation protrusions 31 being spaced apart from each other and arranged along the extension direction of the air outlet duct 104.
