DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0031] In the description of the embodiments of the present application, it should be noted that the terms "lateral", "vertical", "top" and "bottom" are based on the attached Figure 7 The orientation or positional relationship shown is only for the convenience of describing the embodiments of the present application and simplifying the description, and does not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be understood as a limitation on the embodiments of the present application.

[0032] The present application embodiment provides an air outlet assembly 10, see Figures 1 to 3 The air outlet assembly 10 includes a frame 11, an air guide structure 12 and a motor 13.

[0033] The frame 11 has an air vent 112A, a motor housing chamber 111A and a through hole 112B. The motor housing chamber 111A is connected to the outside through the through hole 112B. The motor 13 is arranged in the motor housing chamber 111A, and the motor connecting shaft 131 is drivingly connected to the air guide structure 12 through the through hole 112B.

[0034] The air outlet 112A is used for air flow to pass through.

[0035] The motor accommodating chamber 111A is used to accommodate the motor 13 .

[0036] The motor accommodating chamber 111A is in communication with the outside through the through hole 112B, which means that except for the through hole 112B, the other parts of the motor accommodating chamber 111A are substantially closed structures.

[0037] Please continue reading Figure 6 The wind guide structure 12 includes a plurality of wind guide plates 121, and the plurality of wind guide plates 121 are rotatably disposed at the air outlet 112A.

[0038] The wind guide structure 12 can be provided with a connecting rod (not shown in the figure), and each wind guide plate 121 is connected to the connecting rod. The connecting shaft 131 of the motor is connected to the wind guide structure 12 to drive each wind guide plate 121 to rotate, thereby, the airflow flowing out from the air outlet 112A can be guided by the wind guide plate 121.

[0039] The motor housing chamber 111A may be provided at any position. Figure 1 to Figure 2 , Figures 5 to 7 The motor accommodating chamber 111A may be disposed laterally outside the air outlet 112A and close to the bottom of the frame 11 .

[0040] In some embodiments, the motor accommodating chamber 111A may also be arranged on the outside of the air outlet 112A in the horizontal direction and close to the top of the frame 11, or the motor accommodating chamber 111A may also be arranged inside the air outlet 112A. However, the motor accommodating chamber 111A being close to the top of the frame 11 may affect the routing of the air outlet assembly 10 to a certain extent, thereby resulting in low production efficiency and high cost. The motor accommodating chamber 111A being arranged inside the air outlet 112A may block the airflow flowing out of the air outlet 112A to a certain extent and affect the air outlet effect. The motor accommodating chamber 111A may be arranged on the outside of the air outlet 112A in the horizontal direction and close to the bottom of the frame 11, which will neither affect the routing of the air outlet assembly 10 nor block the airflow flowing out of the air outlet 112A.

[0041] The present application also provides an air conditioner. Figure 6 The air conditioner includes a duct machine 20 with an air outlet (not shown) and an air outlet assembly 10 provided in any embodiment of the present application. The air outlet of the duct machine 20 faces the air outlet 112A, and the air flow blown out from the air outlet of the duct machine 20 flows into the external environment from the air outlet 112A.

[0042] See also Figure 6The duct machine 20 includes a shell 21 with an air outlet, and a heat exchanger 22 and a water receiving tray 23 arranged in the shell 21. The heat exchanger 22 will generate condensed water during operation, and part of the condensed water will flow to the air outlet component 10 with the air flow. Therefore, the embodiment of the present application is provided with an air outlet 112A and a motor accommodating cavity 111A on the frame 11, and the motor 13 is arranged in the motor accommodating cavity 111A. The connecting shaft 131 of the motor is driven and connected to the air guide structure 12 through a through hole 112B connected to the motor accommodating cavity 111A. The condensed water flowing to the air outlet component 10 can be better prevented from entering the interior of the motor 13 and damaging the motor 13. Therefore, the air outlet component 10 can have a better waterproof effect.

[0043] In addition, in the related art, the motor will generate certain noise during operation, and this noise may be transmitted from the air outlet and affect the product quality.

[0044] The motor accommodating cavity 111A of the embodiment of the present application can also play a role in blocking the noise conduction of the motor 13, thereby effectively reducing or even eliminating the noise generated by the motor 13 to improve product quality.

[0045] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 1 to 3 The frame 11 may include a motor cover 111 and a frame 112 having an air outlet 112A. The motor accommodating cavity 111A and the through hole 112B are defined by the motor cover 111 and the frame 112 , that is, the motor 13 may be disposed in the motor cover 111 .

[0046] For the motor accommodation cavity 111A disposed near the bottom of the frame 11, for example, refer to Figure 2 , Figure 5 to Figure 6 A storage space 112C may be provided at the bottom of the frame 112, the bottom of the storage space 112C is open, a through hole 112B is provided on the frame 112 and is located at the top of the storage space 112C, the motor cover 111 enters the storage space 112C from the opening of the storage space 112C, and the cover is provided on the peripheral side of the through hole 112B.

[0047] The bottom of the accommodating space 112C is open, and the motor cover 111 enters the accommodating space 112C from the open part of the accommodating space 112C, which can separate the motor cover 111 from the air outlet 112A. Thus, the gap formed between the motor cover 111 and the accommodating space 112C can also be separated from the air outlet 112A, thereby preventing condensed water from seeping into the motor accommodating cavity 111A from the gap formed between the motor cover 111 and the accommodating space 112C.

[0048] In some embodiments, the top of the accommodating space 112C may be open, and the motor cover 111 enters the accommodating space 112C from the opening at the top of the accommodating space 112C, and the through hole 112B is provided at the top of the motor cover 111 .

[0049] Furthermore, the motor cover 111 may be connected to the frame 112 , for example, the motor cover 111 may be snap-fitted to the frame 112 to facilitate installation of the motor cover 111 .

[0050] For example, see Figure 5 and Figure 6 The frame 112 may be provided with a slot 112D, and the motor cover 111 may be provided with an elastic buckle 1111, and the elastic buckle 1111 is snapped into the slot 112D.

[0051] To facilitate the setting of the card slot 112D, please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 The card slot 112D can be set on the side wall of the accommodating space 112C, and the elastic buckle 1111 is set on the outer surface of the side wall of the motor cover 111.

[0052] See also Figure 5 and Figure 6 The slot 112D can penetrate the frame 112, that is, the operator can see at least part of the structure of the elastic buckle 1111 from the slot 112D. The operator can push the elastic buckle 1111 from the slot 112D to make the elastic buckle 1111 disengage from the slot 112D and take the motor cover 111 out of the accommodating space 112C, thereby facilitating the removal of the motor cover 111.

[0053] In other embodiments, the frame 112 may have an elastic buckle 1111 and the motor cover may have a slot 112D.

[0054] In other embodiments, the motor cover 111 and the frame 112 may also be fastened together by fasteners such as screws.

[0055] In some other embodiments, the accommodating space 112C may not be provided. For example, the motor cover 111 may be directly connected to the frame 112 .

[0056] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 The frame 11 may also be provided with a seal 113, which is sandwiched between the motor cover 111 and the frame 112 to seal the motor accommodating cavity 111A to achieve enhanced waterproof and sound insulation effects.

[0057] The material of the seal 113 is not limited. For example, the seal 113 may be EPDM (Ethylene-Propylene-Diene Monomer) foam. EPDM foam has the advantages of heat resistance, sound absorption, shock resistance, and good sealing effect.

[0058] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 4 The motor 13 has a flange 132, and the flange 132 has a flange hole 132A. The screw 115 is connected to the frame 112 through the flange 132 and the flange hole 132A to ensure the stability of the motor when working.

[0059] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 1 to 3 The plurality of air guide plates 121 may include a main air guide plate 121a and an auxiliary air guide plate 121 drivingly connected to the main air guide plate 121a, and the connecting shaft 131 is drivingly connected to the main air guide plate 121a, that is, the motor 13 can drive the main air guide plate 121a to rotate so that the auxiliary air guide plate 121b rotates synchronously.

[0060] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 7 The longitudinal dimension of the main air guide plate 121a along the air outlet 112A may be smaller than the longitudinal dimension of the auxiliary air guide plate 121b along the air outlet 112A. Since the motor 13 drivingly connected to the main air guide plate 121a needs to be arranged on one side of the main air guide plate 121a along the longitudinal direction of the air outlet 112A, the longitudinal dimension of the main air guide plate 121a along the air outlet 112A is smaller than the longitudinal dimension of the auxiliary air guide plate 121b along the air outlet 112A. The overall dimension of the main air guide plate 121a and the motor 13 along the longitudinal direction of the air outlet 112A can be reduced, making the structure of the air outlet assembly 10 more compact.

[0061] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 1 to 3 The main air guide plate 121a drivingly connected to the connecting shaft 131 has a rod portion 1211 and a cover portion 1212 surrounding the rod portion 1211, and the rod portion 1211 is drivingly connected to the connecting shaft 131 of the motor 13. The frame 11 has a convex ring 114, which is located on the side of the through hole 112B away from the motor accommodating chamber 111A and surrounds the circumference of the through hole 112B. The cover portion 1212 is covered on the outer peripheral side of the convex ring 114. The cover portion 1212 cooperates with the convex ring 114 to prevent condensed water from flowing to the motor 13 through the through hole 112B, thereby better preventing the motor 13 from getting water.

[0062] In other embodiments, the protruding ring 114 may also be disposed on the outer peripheral side of the cover portion 1212 .

[0063] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 2 to 3The rod portion 1211 has an axial hole 1211A, the rod portion 1121 is inserted into the through hole 112B, and the connecting shaft 131 of the motor 13 is inserted into the axial hole 1211A. That is to say, the connecting shaft 131 can be directly connected to the air guide plate 121 without setting other connecting structures between the connecting shaft 131 and the air guide plate 121.

[0064] Exemplarily, the connecting shaft 131 may be interference fit with the shaft hole 1211A.

[0065] The connecting shaft 131 is directly connected to the wind guide plate 121, which is beneficial to improving the transmission stability between the connecting shaft 131 and the wind guide plate 121, and at the same time, makes the structure of the wind guide structure 12 more streamlined and compact. In addition, the rod portion 1121 of the wind guide plate 121 is inserted into the through hole 112B, which can also play a certain water-blocking role to prevent condensed water from flowing directly onto the connecting shaft 131, thereby making it easier to achieve waterproofing.

[0066] In other embodiments, the air outlet assembly 10 may also be provided with a transmission assembly, and the motor 13 is driven and connected to the air guide structure 12 through the transmission assembly. The motor 13 drives the transmission assembly to move, so that the transmission assembly drives the multiple air guide plates 121 to move.

[0067] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 6 The motor accommodating chamber 111A may be disposed close to the water receiving tray 23 .

[0068] To facilitate the installation of the motor 13, the motor 13 can be installed near the water receiving tray 23. However, some condensed water generated when the duct air conditioner 20 is working will drip into the water receiving tray 23. When the water receiving tray 23 contains a large amount of condensed water, the condensed water may overflow from the water receiving tray 23. Since the motor 13 is installed in the motor accommodating chamber 111A, the motor accommodating chamber 111A can effectively prevent the overflowed condensed water from contacting the motor 13, thereby preventing the overflowed condensed water from penetrating into the motor 13 and damaging the motor 13.
