Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of air conditioning equipment technology, and more particularly to an adjustable air outlet assembly and an air conditioner. Background Technology

[0002] Air conditioners typically use rotating structures such as fan blades or impellers to circulate air. For example, a fan uses a motor to drive rotating blades, which in turn circulate air and blow air. Similarly, a heater uses an impeller and heating element within its body, with a motor driving the impeller to guide the heat from the heating element outwards, thus providing warmth.

[0003] However, existing heaters and fans are used separately, requiring the purchase of two appliances. If a heater is used as a fan for heat dissipation, that is, the heating element is not turned on when blowing air normally, the air volume is too small due to the heating element at the air outlet, and the noise is loud because of the heating element at the air outlet.

[0023] The technical solution of the present invention will be further described below with reference to the embodiments and accompanying drawings.

[0024] See Figures 1-10 The present invention discloses an air outlet assembly with adjustable air outlet, including an air outlet housing 20, a blower mechanism 10 and a heating element 30. The air outlet housing 20 is provided with a first air outlet 21 and a second air outlet 22, and the heating element 30 is provided at the first air outlet 21.

[0025] The blower mechanism 10 includes a blower 11, a guide housing 12, a first drive member 13, and a second drive member 14. Specifically, the guide housing 12 is provided with a guide cavity 127, a guide inlet 128, and a guide outlet 124. The blower 11 is rotatably mounted in the guide cavity 127 and guides the airflow through the guide outlet 124 during rotation. The first drive member 13 is used to drive the guide housing 12 to move so that the guide outlet 124 is connected to the first air outlet 21 or the second air outlet 22. The second drive member 14 is used to drive the blower 11 to rotate.

[0026] Based on the above structure, when using the adjustable air outlet assembly of the present invention, the air outlet assembly can be used in a fan, or in a heater, or in other air outlet structures, such as a humidifier, air purifier, etc.

[0027] When in use, this air outlet assembly mainly has the following two operating states: In the first usage state, when the air outlet assembly needs to blow out hot air for heating, the first driving component 13 can drive the guide housing 12 to move to correspond with the first air outlet 21 on the air outlet housing 20. Since the first air outlet 21 is equipped with a heating element 30, the heating element 30 heats the first air outlet 21. At the same time, the second driving component 14 is activated to drive the impeller 11 to rotate in the guide cavity 127. When the impeller 11 rotates in the guide cavity 127, the external airflow can enter the guide cavity 127 through the guide inlet 128 and guide the airflow to the guide outlet 124. During the continuous rotation of the impeller 11, the airflow mixes with heat through the first air outlet 21 and is then blown out, thereby exporting the hot airflow through the first air outlet 21 to achieve the heating action.

[0028] In the second usage state, when the air outlet component needs to blow out cool air, the first driving component 13 can drive the guide housing 12 to move and correspond to the second air outlet 22 of the air outlet housing 20. Since the second air outlet 22 is not equipped with a heating element 30, the second driving component 14 is activated to drive the impeller 11 to rotate in the guide cavity 127. When the impeller 11 rotates in the guide cavity 127, the external airflow can enter the guide cavity 127 through the guide inlet 128 and guide the airflow to the guide outlet 124. During the continuous rotation of the impeller 11, the airflow is directly discharged through the second air outlet 22, thus realizing natural blowing to provide the user with a cooling sensation.

[0029] Of course, when the air outlet component is used as a humidifier, a humidification structure or an atomizing structure can also be set in the second air outlet 22, so that humidification can be performed when the air outlet 124 of the air outlet component corresponds to the second air outlet 22, and hot air can be blown in to provide heating when the air outlet 124 of the air outlet component corresponds to the first air outlet 21.

[0030] That is, in this embodiment, by moving the air guide housing 12 of the blower mechanism 10, the air guide outlet 124 of the air guide housing 12 can correspond to the first air outlet 21 or the second air outlet 22 of the air outlet housing 20. When corresponding to the first air outlet 21, hot air can be blown out for heating, while when corresponding to the second air outlet 22, natural air can be blown out, realizing dual use. One device can achieve dual use, and the corresponding position of the air guide outlet 124 of the air guide housing 12 can be adjusted according to different usage needs.

[0031] As an optional implementation, the blower mechanism 10 includes a mounting base 15, a guide housing 12 rotatably mounted on the mounting base 15 via a first rotating shaft, and a first driving member 13 mounted on the mounting base 15 and used to drive the guide housing 12 to rotate relative to the mounting base 15. In this implementation structure, the guide housing 12 is rotatably engaged with the mounting base 15 via the first rotating shaft, and the mounting base 15 can be connected and fixed to the air outlet housing 20. When the first driving member 13 is activated, it drives the guide housing 12 to rotate. The guide outlet 124 on the guide housing 12 corresponds to the first air outlet 21 or the second air outlet 22.

[0032] The impeller 11 is rotatably connected to the guide housing 12 via the second rotating shaft. The second driving component 14 is mounted on the mounting base 15 and is used to drive the impeller 11 to rotate. When blowing air, the second driving component 14 drives the impeller 11 to rotate relative to the guide housing 12.

[0033] In this embodiment, the flow outlet 124 can be switched on by rotation. The first air outlet 21 and the second air outlet 22 on the air outlet housing 20 are set on the rotation trajectory of the flow outlet housing 12. In this way, during the switching process, the flow outlet housing 12 only needs to rotate a certain angle to complete the switching action, which can quickly switch between different usage states.

[0034] Furthermore, since the first air vent 21 and the second air vent 22 are on the rotation trajectory of the air guide housing 12, and the first air vent 21 and the second air vent 22 are distributed in the circumferential direction and arranged around the blower mechanism 10, the overall structure is more compact after assembly, and the body size is smaller when used in structures such as fans, tower fans, and heaters.

[0035] Of course, in some other implementation structures, the movement trajectory of the flow guide housing 12 can also be a linear movement. For example, a first air outlet 21 and a second air outlet 22 can be set in the length or width direction of the flow guide housing 12. In this way, the first driving member 13 drives the flow guide housing 12 to move in the length or width direction, so that the flow guide outlet 124 of the flow guide housing 12 can be connected to the first air outlet 21 or the second air outlet 22.

[0036] For example, a first air vent 21 and a second air vent 22 can be provided in the height direction of the flow guide housing 12. In this way, the flow guide housing 12 can be moved up and down in the height direction by the first driving member 13, so that the flow guide outlet 124 of the flow guide housing 12 can be connected to the first air vent 21 or the second air vent 22.

[0037] However, when the first air outlet 21 and the second air outlet 22 are set in a straight line, and the position of the guide housing 12 is switched, space must be reserved for the movement of the blower mechanism 10 in the straight line. If the volume of the impeller 11 and the guide housing 12 is reduced while the volume of the outlet housing 20 remains unchanged, the air volume will decrease even if the overall volume remains the same. If the volume of the impeller 11 and the guide housing 12 remains unchanged, the height of the outlet housing 20 needs to be increased, resulting in a larger overall volume. Therefore, in this embodiment, the rotation of the guide housing 12 is preferred for state switching.

[0038] As an optional implementation, since the flow guide housing 12 achieves the corresponding state switching between the flow guide outlet 124 and the first air outlet 21 or the second air outlet 22 by rotation, in order to make the rotation state of the flow guide housing 12 smoother, multiple ball grooves 129 and multiple balls 123 can be provided at the end of the flow guide housing 12, and the multiple ball grooves 129 are spaced apart in the rotation direction of the flow guide housing 12; the multiple balls 123 are installed one-to-one in the multiple ball grooves 129, and the balls 123 roll in cooperation with the ball grooves 129 and roll in cooperation with the end face of the mounting base 15.

[0039] Based on this structure, when the flow guide housing 12 rotates relative to the mounting base 15, the first driving member 13 drives the flow guide housing 12 to rotate. The flow guide housing 12 rotates with the mounting base 15 through the first rotating shaft. This rotational engagement can be achieved through bearings between the first rotating shaft and the mounting base 15. At the same time, since the end of the flow guide housing 12 and the mounting base 15 are engaged by multiple balls 123, the frictional resistance and wear during rotation are reduced, and the smoothness and stability of rotation are improved.

[0040] As an optional implementation, the first driving component 13 includes a first motor 131, a driving gear 132, and a transmission gear 125. The first motor 131 and the driving gear 132 are both mounted on the mounting base 15. The shaft of the first motor 131 is connected to the driving gear 132. The transmission gear 125 is disposed at the end of the flow guide housing 12 and meshes with the driving gear 132. Based on this structure, when the flow guide housing 12 is rotated, the shaft of the first motor 131 drives the driving gear 132 to rotate. The rotation of the driving gear 132 can drive the transmission gear 125 meshing with it to perform transmission, thereby driving the flow guide housing 12 connected to the transmission gear 125 to rotate, thereby realizing the position switching of the flow outlet 124 of the flow guide housing 12.

[0041] Specifically, the transmission teeth 125 can be distributed along an arc in the rotation direction of the guide housing 12. The transmission teeth 125 are set in an arc shape instead of a full circle gear. In this way, when the drive gear 132 rotates to the two ends of the transmission teeth 125, it will be in position. At this time, the guide outlet 124 of the guide housing 12 can be exactly corresponding to the first air outlet 21 or the second air outlet 22, preventing misalignment after the guide housing 12 rotates.

[0042] Of course, it is also possible to set a touch control on the flow guide housing 12 and set two limit switches on the mounting base 15. The touch control (such as a touch block or touch stick) of the flow guide housing 12 can be controlled by the two limit switches at different positions to touch the touch control, so that the flow guide housing 12 rotates and the flow outlet 124 can just correspond to the first air outlet 21 or the second air outlet 22.

[0043] In some other implementation structures, the first driving component 13 can also be implemented by means of a motor, a transmission belt and a transmission wheel, or the motor can directly drive the flow guide housing 12 to rotate. The specific structure of the first driving component 13 can be selected according to actual needs.

[0044] As an optional implementation, a guide groove 121 can be provided at the end of the flow guide housing 12. The guide groove 121 extends along the rotation direction of the flow guide housing 12, and a guide member 151 is provided on the mounting base 15. The guide member 151 slides and rotates to the guide groove 121, and the guide groove 121 can slide and cooperate with the guide member 151 to guide the stable rotation of the flow guide housing 12. At the same time, the guide member 151 on the mounting base 15 abuts against the end wall of the guide groove 121 to achieve rotation limit and also prevent the flow guide housing 12 from being misaligned.

[0045] As an optional implementation, the guide 151 includes a guide post 1511 and a guide block 1512, with the guide block 1512 protruding from the end of the guide post 1511. Specifically, a disassembly port 126 may be provided at the end of the guide groove 121, communicating with the guide groove 121. The diameter of the disassembly port 126 is larger than the diameter of the guide groove 121. The guide post 1511 slides through the guide groove 121, and the guide block 1512 extends through the guide groove 121 and abuts against the end of the flow guide housing 12 to prevent the guide post 1511 from detaching from the guide groove 121. The guide block 1512 is used to correspond with the disassembly port 126 after the guide post 1511 slides through the guide groove 121 to the disassembly port 126, so that the guide post 1511 and the guide block 1512 are detached through the disassembly port 126.

[0046] When assembling the flow guide housing 12 with the mounting base 15, the guide 151 on the mounting base 15 can correspond to the disassembly port 126 of the flow guide housing 12. In this way, the guide block of the guide 151 can guide the guide post to pass through the disassembly port 126. When the flow guide housing 12 rotates, the guide post of the guide 151 can rotate from the disassembly port 126 into the guide groove 121, while the guide block abuts against the outside of the guide groove 121 to prevent the guide post from disengaging from the guide groove 121 during rotation.

[0047] When separating the mounting base 15 from the flow guide housing 12, simply rotate the flow guide housing 12 so that the guide block corresponds to the disassembly port 126, and then directly remove the guide block of the mounting base 15 corresponding to the disassembly port 126, which facilitates the removal of the mounting base 15 for internal inspection.

[0048] In some implementation structures, mounting seats 15 can be provided at both the top and bottom of the flow guide housing 12. The top and bottom of the flow guide housing 12 are rotatably engaged with the two mounting seats 15 respectively. The first driving member 13 can be assembled to the top mounting seat 15, and the second driving member 14 can be assembled to the bottom mounting seat 15. The first driving member 13 and the second driving member 14 are respectively installed with the two mounting seats 15 to prevent the two driving members from interfering with each other.

[0049] The top and bottom of the flow guide housing 12 are provided with guide grooves 121 and disassembly ports 126. When assembling the two mounting seats 15 with the flow guide housing 12, the guide blocks at both ends of the flow guide housing 12 are inserted into the disassembly ports 126 of the two mounting seats 15, respectively. The guide block of the top mounting seat 15 is inserted into the disassembly port 126 from top to bottom, while the guide block of the bottom mounting seat 15 is inserted into the disassembly port 126 from bottom to top. Then, the flow guide housing 12 is rotated so that the guide post rotates into the guide groove 121, and the guide block abuts against the bottom and top of the corresponding mounting seat 15, respectively, thus completing the rotatable assembly of the flow guide housing 12 with the two mounting seats 15. Assembly is convenient. When disassembling, the flow guide housing 12 is rotated to the corresponding disassembly port 126, and the mounting seat 15 can be removed accordingly. Disassembly and assembly are convenient, facilitating later maintenance and repair.

[0050] As an optional implementation, the heating element 30 includes a heating mesh that covers the first air vent 21. The heating mesh can be formed by a mesh structure made of heating wires in related technologies. In this way, the power line of the heating mesh can be connected to the external circuit to achieve electric heating. Since the heating mesh covers the first air vent 21, a large heating surface can be formed in the first air vent 21, which can quickly generate heat and mix with the airflow led out through the guide outlet 124 to achieve rapid heating.

[0051] Of course, in some other implementations, the heating element 30 can also be implemented using other electrothermal structures such as heating resistors and heating tubes from related technologies.

[0052] As an optional implementation, the flow guide housing 12 is provided with a flow guide shroud, which extends in an arc direction; the flow guide shroud is used to connect the first air outlet 21 or the second air outlet 22 when the flow guide outlet 124 corresponds to the first air outlet 21 or the second air outlet 22.

[0053] Based on this structure, during airflow guidance, when the airflow outlet 124 of the airflow guide housing 12 rotates to the first air outlet 21, the airflow guide shroud connects with the first air outlet 21 and surrounds the first air outlet 21. The airflow in the airflow guide cavity 127 of the airflow guide housing 12 enters the airflow guide shroud through the airflow outlet 124. Since the airflow guide shroud can form a closed airflow path, the airflow at the airflow outlet 124 can be concentrated by the airflow guide shroud and discharged to the first air outlet 21, reducing the airflow dispersion to other positions and making the airflow more concentrated.

[0054] When the guide housing 12 rotates from the guide outlet 124 to the second air inlet 22, the guide hood connects with the second air inlet 22 and surrounds the second air inlet 22. The airflow in the guide cavity 127 of the guide housing 12 enters the guide hood through the guide outlet 124. Since the guide hood can form a closed guide path, the airflow from the guide outlet 124 can be concentrated by the guide hood and discharged to the second air inlet 22, reducing the airflow dispersion to other positions and making the airflow more concentrated.

[0055] In this way, whether the airflow is directed through the first vent 21 or the second vent 22, the airflow path is relatively closed, reducing the possibility of airflow overflowing through other vents.

[0056] Example 2, See Figures 1-12 This embodiment provides an air conditioner, including a mounting housing 40 and an air outlet assembly of Embodiment 1. The mounting housing 40 is provided with a mounting cavity, an air inlet 42 and an air outlet 41. The air outlet assembly is installed in the mounting cavity. After the air outlet assembly is assembled into the mounting cavity of the mounting housing 40, the guide inlet 128 of the guide housing 12 is connected to the air inlet 42, and the air outlet housing 20 is provided to correspond to the air outlet 41, so that the first air outlet 21 and the second air outlet 22 are connected to the air outlet 41.

[0057] In some implementation structures, the air outlet housing 20 can be fixedly connected to the mounting cavity of the mounting housing 40 by screws or bolts, and after assembly, the first air outlet 21 and the second air outlet 22 of the air outlet housing 20 correspond to the air outlet 41 of the mounting housing 40. Based on this structure, the mounting base 15 is assembled with the air outlet housing 20, and the flow guide housing 12 is rotatably assembled with the mounting base 15.

[0058] Based on this structure, when using an air conditioner, it has the following two operating modes when discharging air: In the first usage state, when the air conditioner needs to blow out hot air for heating, the first driving component 13 drives the air guide housing 12 to move to correspond with the first air outlet 21 on the air outlet housing 20. Since the first air outlet 21 is equipped with a heating element 30, the heating element 30 heats the first air outlet 21. At the same time, the second driving component 14 is activated to drive the impeller 11 to rotate in the air guide cavity 127. When the impeller 11 rotates in the air guide cavity 127, the external airflow can enter through the air inlet 42 and be guided into the air guide cavity 127 through the air guide inlet 128. The airflow in the air guide cavity 127 is guided to the air guide outlet 124 under the action of the impeller 11. During the continuous rotation of the impeller 11, the airflow mixes with heat through the first air outlet 21 and is then blown out, thereby directing the hot airflow from the first air outlet 21 to the air outlet 41 to achieve the heating action.

[0059] In the second usage state, when the air outlet assembly needs to blow out cool air, the first driving component 13 can drive the guide housing 12 to move and correspond to the second air outlet 22 of the air outlet housing 20. Since the second air outlet 22 is not equipped with a heating element 30, the second driving component 14 is activated to drive the impeller 11 to rotate in the guide cavity 127. When the impeller 11 rotates in the guide cavity 127, the external airflow can enter through the air inlet 42 and enter the guide cavity 127 through the guide inlet 128. The airflow in the guide cavity 127 is guided to the guide outlet 124 under the action of the impeller 11. During the continuous rotation of the impeller 11, the airflow is directly discharged through the second air outlet 22, thus realizing natural blowing to provide the user with a cooling sensation.

[0060] That is, in this embodiment, by moving the air guide housing 12 of the blower mechanism 10, the air guide outlet 124 of the air guide housing 12 can correspond to the first air outlet 21 or the second air outlet 22 of the air outlet housing 20. When corresponding to the first air outlet 21, hot air can be blown out for heating, while when corresponding to the second air outlet 22, natural air can be blown out, realizing dual use. One device can achieve dual use, and the corresponding position of the air guide outlet 124 of the air guide housing 12 can be adjusted according to different usage needs.

[0061] In some other implementation structures, the air inlet 42 can be equipped with an air inlet grid and the air outlet 41 can be equipped with an air outlet grid. The airflow can be dispersed and guided by the corresponding grids, resulting in more uniform air intake and exhaust.

[0062] It should be noted that the air conditioner in this embodiment can be a structure used in related technologies such as a fan, tower fan, heater or humidifier. Of course, when the air outlet component is used as a humidifier, a humidification structure or atomization structure can also be set in the second air outlet 22, so that humidification can be performed when the air outlet 124 of the air outlet component corresponds to the second air outlet 22, and hot air is blown in to provide heating when the air outlet 124 of the air outlet component corresponds to the first air outlet 21.

[0063] Furthermore, the other structures of the air outlet component in this embodiment are the same as those in Embodiment 1. The working principle and effect of the air conditioner are the same as those in Embodiment 1, and will not be described in detail here.

[0064] The technical means disclosed in this invention are not limited to those disclosed in the above embodiments, but also include technical solutions composed of any combination of the above technical features. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications without departing from the principles of this invention, and these improvements and modifications are also considered within the scope of protection of this invention.
