Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to but is not limited to the field of air-conditioning technology, and specifically refers to a panel assembly and an air-conditioner. Background Art

[0002] At present, with the improvement of living standards and people's pursuit of quality of life, the demand for kitchen air conditioners is becoming increasingly strong. In summer, the kitchen environment is stuffy and the smell of oil smoke is heavy. The application of kitchen air conditioners can provide people with a comfortable cooking environment. The existing kitchen air conditioner is provided with an air outlet on the panel body, and an air guide plate is provided at the air outlet. The air guide function is realized by the rotation of the air guide plate, and the air outlet is opened or closed by the air guide plate. Since the air guide plate must not only realize the air guide function but also take into account the opening and closing of the air outlet, the rotation axis of the air guide plate is located in the area relatively behind the air outlet and the area relatively behind the air guide plate, so as to ensure that the air guide plate can open and close the air outlet and that when the air outlet is opened, relatively more parts can extend out of the air outlet to ensure a larger air supply distance. However, this will cause the rotatable angle range of the air guide plate to be less than 90°, because when the air guide plate rotates backward, it will interfere with the rear side wall of the air outlet due to limited space, so the air guide range is relatively limited. Utility Model Content

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by the present application is to provide a panel assembly and an air conditioner, which are conducive to expanding the rotation angle range of the air guide plate to expand the air guide range.

The inner air guide plate can be rotated to realize the air guide function, and the outer air guide plate can also be rotated to realize the air guide function. In addition, the outer air guide plate can move relative to the panel body to realize the function of opening and closing the air outlet. Since the outer air guide plate is located outside the air outlet, long-distance air supply can be realized to ensure the air supply distance of the air conditioner. The position of the inner air guide plate does not need to consider the limitation of the air supply distance, nor does it need to consider the opening and closing of the air outlet. Therefore, the setting position of the rotation axis of the air guide plate is more flexible, so that the rotatable angle range of the air guide plate can be greater than 90°, thereby realizing a wider range of air guide, which is conducive to covering the user's activity area in the entire kitchen space.

[0035] The principles and features of the present application are described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The examples given are only used to explain the present application and are not used to limit the scope of the present application.

[0036] The embodiment of the present application provides a panel assembly for an air conditioner, which may be a kitchen air conditioner, but is not limited to a kitchen air conditioner. Figure 7 As shown, the air conditioner may include a casing 6, a panel assembly, a heat exchanger 7, a fan 8 and other structures. The heat exchanger 7, the fan 8 and other structures are installed in the casing 6. The casing 6 may be open at the lower end, and the panel assembly may be connected to the lower end of the casing 6 and cover the lower end opening of the casing 6.

[0037] like Figures 2 to 6 As shown, the panel assembly includes: a panel body 1, an air outlet assembly 2 and a driving mechanism.

[0038] The panel body 1 is provided with an air outlet 1211. Figure 1 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 The air outlet 1211 may be in the shape of an elongated strip, such as a rectangle.

[0039] The air outlet assembly 2 includes an inner air guide plate 21 and an outer air guide plate 22. The inner air guide plate 21 is rotatably disposed at the air outlet 1211, configured to guide the air outlet direction, and the rotatable angle range of the inner air guide plate 21 is greater than 90°. The outer air guide plate 22 is rotatably disposed outside the air outlet 1211, configured to open or close the air outlet 1211 and guide the air outlet direction.

[0040] The driving mechanism is connected to the air outlet assembly 2 and is configured to drive the air outlet assembly 2 to move relative to the panel body 1 .

[0041] The driving mechanism is connected to the air outlet assembly 2, and is configured to drive the air outlet assembly 2 to move relative to the panel body 1. When the air conditioner needs to discharge air, the driving mechanism drives the outer air guide plate 22 to open the air outlet 1211, and drives the inner air guide plate 21 and the outer air guide plate 22 to rotate to a desired position or continuously rotate to achieve the air guide function. When the air conditioner does not need to discharge air, the driving mechanism can drive the inner air guide plate 21 to rotate to a closed position to avoid interference between the inner air guide plate 21 and the outer air guide plate 22, and drive the outer air guide plate 22 to move to a position to close the air outlet 1211.

[0042] The panel assembly provided in the embodiment of the present application includes a panel body 1, an air outlet assembly 2 and a driving mechanism. The air outlet assembly 2 includes an inner air guide plate 21 and an outer air guide plate 22. The inner air guide plate 21 can rotate to achieve the air guide function, and the outer air guide plate 22 can also rotate to achieve the air guide function. In addition, the outer air guide plate 22 can move relative to the panel body 1 to achieve the function of opening and closing the air outlet 1211. Since the outer air guide plate 22 is located outside the air outlet 1211, long-distance air delivery (such as Fig. 9 and Fig.10 As shown), to ensure the air supply distance of the air conditioner, the position of the inner air guide plate 21 does not need to consider the limitation of the air supply distance, nor does it need to consider the opening and closing of the air outlet 1211. Therefore, the setting position of the rotation axis of the air guide plate is more flexible, so that the rotatable angle range of the air guide plate can be greater than 90°, thereby achieving a wider range of air guidance, which is beneficial to covering the user's activity area in the entire kitchen space.

[0043] In some exemplary embodiments, Figure 6 As shown, the panel body 1 is provided with an air outlet area 121, and the air outlet 1211 is provided in the air outlet area 121. Moreover, the outer air guide plate 22 is adapted to the air outlet area 121, so that the outer air guide plate 22 can cover the air outlet area 121 when closing the air outlet 1211.

[0044] In the related art, in order to meet the rotation requirements of the air guide plate, a large gap needs to be reserved between the air guide plate and the wall of the air outlet 1211. However, the kitchen environment is full of oil smoke, and the gap is easy to hide dirt and grime, which affects the appearance.

[0045] In the embodiment of the present application, since the opening and closing of the air outlet 1211 is independent of the inner air guide plate 21, a sufficient gap can be reserved between the inner air guide plate 21 and the wall of the air outlet 1211 to meet the rotation requirements of the inner air guide plate 21. In addition, the outer air guide plate 22 is adapted to the air outlet area 121, and can cover the air outlet area 121 when the outer air guide plate 22 closes the air outlet 1211. Therefore, the reserved gap between the inner air guide plate 21 and the wall of the air outlet 1211 can be completely covered by the outer air guide plate 22, making it difficult for pollutants such as kitchen fumes to accumulate in the gap, thereby helping to avoid dirt and grime at the air outlet 1211; it is also helpful to reduce the gap exposed by the panel assembly, making the appearance of the panel assembly more concise, thereby helping to improve the aesthetics of the panel assembly.

[0046] Moreover, compared with the inner air guide plate 21, the outer air guide plate 22 is larger in size and has a larger opening space, so the user can clean the outer air guide plate 22 more conveniently, which is beneficial to reduce the accumulation of dirt during the use of the air conditioner; and the air supply distance is longer, which is beneficial for the airflow to reach various areas of the kitchen.

[0047] In some exemplary embodiments, the length of the inner air guide plate 21 is smaller than the length of the air outlet 1211. Figure 5 shown.

[0048] In the related art, the air guide plate needs to take into account the function of opening and closing the air outlet 1211, so the length of the air guide plate needs to be substantially equal to the length of the air outlet 1211, such as Figure 1 shown.

[0049] However, some other structures (such as the driving device of the air guide plate) are arranged at the two end regions of the air outlet 1211, so the actual air outlet length of the air outlet 1211 will be shorter than the actual length of the air outlet 1211. In the embodiment of the present application, since the inner air guide plate 21 does not need to take into account the function of opening and closing the air outlet 1211, the length of the inner air guide plate 21 can be equivalent to the actual air outlet length of the air outlet 1211, without blocking other structures at the two end regions of the air outlet 1211, such as Figure 5 As shown, this also helps people to fully see the structure inside the air outlet 1211, which facilitates the cleaning operation of the air outlet 1211 area.

[0050] In some exemplary embodiments, Figure 6 As shown, the panel body 1 is further provided with a return air zone 123 and a decoration zone 122, and the air outlet zone 121, the decoration zone 122 and the return air zone 123 are arranged in sequence. The air outlet zone 121, the decoration zone 122 and the return air zone 123 can be arranged in sequence from front to back. The air outlet zone 121, the decoration zone 122 and the return air zone 123 can all be rectangular areas.

[0051] The return air zone 123 is provided with a return air outlet 1231 (such as Figure 1 As shown). The return air outlet 1231 may be in the shape of a long strip, such as a rectangle. The panel assembly further includes a return air plate 4, such as Figures 2 to 6 As shown, the return air plate 4 is movably arranged at the return air port 1231, and is arranged to open or close the return air port 1231. In addition, the return air plate 4 is adapted to the return air zone 123, so that the return air plate 4 can cover the return air zone 123 when closing the return air port 1231.

[0052] The decoration area 122 separates the return air area 123 from the outlet air area 121 , which helps to avoid the return air flow and the outlet air flow from interfering with each other.

[0053] In the related art, a return air grille or a return air plate 4 is provided at the return air port 1231, and the return air grille or the return air plate 4 is embedded in the return air port 1231. The assembly gap between the return air port 1231 and the return air grille can be seen, as shown in FIG. Figure 1 In the embodiment of the present application, the return air port 1231 can be closed by the return air plate 4 when not in use, as shown in FIG. Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, it is helpful to avoid dirt and grime at the return air port 1231. The return air plate 4 is adapted to the return air area 123, and can cover the return air area 123 when the return air plate 4 closes the return air port 1231, which is also helpful to reduce the gap exposed by the panel assembly, making the appearance of the panel assembly more concise, thereby improving the aesthetics of the panel assembly.

[0054] The movement of the return air plate 4 is not restricted. For example, the return air plate 4 can be rotatably arranged at the return air outlet 1231 through a rotating connection structure, can be lifted and lowered at the return air outlet 1231 through a lifting structure, or can be slidably arranged at the return air outlet 1231 through a moving mechanism.

[0055] In some exemplary embodiments, the decoration area 122 is provided with an inspection port 1221, such as Figure 1 The inspection opening 1221 may be in the shape of a long strip, such as a rectangle. The panel assembly further includes a decorative panel 5, such as Figures 2 to 6 As shown, the decorative plate 5 is detachably connected to the panel body 1 and is configured to open or close the inspection opening 1221. In addition, the decorative plate 5 is adapted to the decorative area 122 so that the decorative plate 5 can cover the decorative area 122 when closing the inspection opening 1221.

[0056] When the air conditioner needs to be repaired, the decorative panel 5 can be removed and the internal structure of the air conditioner (such as the electric control box and other structures) can be repaired through the inspection port 1221.

[0057] In the related art, the decorative panel 5 is embedded in the inspection opening 1221, and the assembly gap between the inspection opening 1221 and the decorative panel 5 can be seen, such as Figure 1In the embodiment of the present application, the decorative plate 5 is adapted to the decorative area 122, and can cover the decorative area 122 when the decorative plate 5 closes the return air outlet 1231, as shown in FIG. Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, it is also helpful to reduce the exposed gap of the panel assembly, making the appearance of the panel assembly more concise, thereby helping to improve the aesthetics of the panel assembly.

[0058] There is no restriction on the detachable connection method between the decorative plate 5 and the panel body 1 . For example, the decorative plate 5 can be detachably connected to the panel body by means of fasteners (such as screws) or snaps.

[0059] In some exemplary embodiments, the panel body 1 includes a panel base 11 and a panel base 12 disposed at the bottom of the panel base 11. The panel base 12 is provided with an air outlet area 121, a decoration area 122 and a return air area 123. Figure 6 As shown. Figure 6 In the figure, the air outlet area 121, the decoration area 122 and the return air area 123 are schematically demarcated by dotted lines.

[0060] like Figures 2 to 6 As shown, the panel base 12 can be a roughly flat plate structure, and the outer contour of the panel base 11 can be a rectangular parallelepiped. The area of ​​the panel base 12 can be larger than the bottom area of ​​the panel base 11. During the assembly process after leaving the factory, the panel base 11 can be embedded in the ceiling and hidden, and the panel base 12 can be exposed to ensure normal air outlet and return.

[0061] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the panel base 12 is configured to be shielded by the outer air guide plate 22, the decorative plate 5 and the return air plate 4. The area of ​​the outer air guide plate 22 is larger than the area of ​​the air outlet 1211, the area of ​​the decorative plate 5 is larger than the area of ​​the inspection port 1221, and the area of ​​the return air plate 4 is larger than the area of ​​the return air outlet 1231.

[0062] In this way, when the air conditioner is turned off, Figure 2 As shown, there are only two gaps exposed on the panel assembly: the gap between the outer air guide plate 22 and the decorative plate 5, and the gap between the decorative plate 5 and the return air plate 4. This effectively improves the integrated appearance of the panel assembly, making the panel assembly more beautiful and less prone to accumulation of oil smoke and dirt.

[0063] The driving mechanism may be mounted on the panel base 12 .

[0064] In some embodiments, Figure 7As shown, the projection of the rotation axis of the inner air guide plate 21 on the plane where the air outlet 1211 is located is located in the middle area of ​​the width direction of the air outlet 1211, so that the rotation angle range of the inner air guide plate 21 is greater than 90°. The rotation axis of the inner air guide plate 21 is located on the side of the air outlet 1211 away from the outer air guide plate 22.

[0065] In this way, the inner air guide plate 21 rotates backward and is not easy to interfere with the rear end wall of the air outlet 1211, so it can have a larger rotation range, which is conducive to achieving a wider range of air guidance.

[0066] In one embodiment, 90°<the rotatable angle range of the inner air guide plate 21 ≤ 110°. In other words, the inner air guide plate 21 can rotate within a range of 0° to 110°.

[0067] In some exemplary embodiments, the rotatable angle range of the outer air guide plate 22 is ≥90°, which is beneficial to expanding the air guiding range of the outer air guide plate 22, and the opening space of the outer air guide plate 22 is larger, which is convenient for fully seeing the structure at the air outlet 1211. The user can more conveniently see the dirt at the air outlet 1211, which is beneficial to reduce the accumulation of dirt during the use of the air conditioner.

[0068] In some embodiments, the rotatable angle range of the outer air guide plate 22 is ≤180°, which helps to reduce the impact of the outer air guide plate 22 on lowering the floor height when it is opened, and helps to improve the user experience.

[0069] For example, when the outer air guide plate 22 is turned 180° to fully open the air outlet 1211, Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the effect on lowering the layer height is only a plate thickness, which can be basically ignored.

[0070] In some exemplary embodiments, the driving mechanism includes a first driving device (not shown in the figure) and a second driving device. The first driving device is connected to the inner air guide plate 21 and is configured to drive the inner air guide plate 21 to rotate. The first driving device can be the same as the driving device of a conventional air guide plate, for example, the rotating shaft 211 of the air guide plate is driven to rotate by a motor.

[0071] The second driving device includes a driving member and a transmission mechanism. The driving member is connected to the transmission mechanism, and the transmission mechanism is connected to the outer air guide plate 22, and is configured to drive the outer air guide plate 22 to rotate relative to the panel body 1 under the drive of the driving member.

[0072] Of course, the second driving device may not include a transmission mechanism, and the driving member may be directly connected to the outer air guide plate 22 to drive the outer air guide plate 22 to rotate. For example, the second driving device may be a stepping motor.

[0073] In some embodiments, the transmission mechanism includes a swing arm mechanism 32 (such as Figures 7 to 9 As shown), the swing arm mechanism 32 is rotatably connected to the outer air guide plate 22.

[0074] The second driving device of the driving member may include two swing arm mechanisms 32, and the two swing arm mechanisms 32 are respectively connected to the two ends of the length direction of the outer air guide plate 22. One of the swing arm mechanisms 32 is connected to the driving member and is an active mechanism; the other swing arm mechanism 32 is rotatably connected to the panel body and is a driven mechanism. Each swing arm mechanism 32 may include at least one swing arm, and the swing arm may be in a bent shape or may be arranged in the form of a connecting rod, so that the outer air guide plate 22 can be flipped approximately 180° during the rotation process. In this way, when the outer air guide plate 22 closes the air outlet 1211, the swing arm mechanism 32 is located on the upper side of the outer air guide plate 22 and can be hidden, such as Figure 7 When the outer air guide plate 22 is flipped approximately 180° to open the air outlet 1211, a portion of the swing arm mechanism 32 may be located at the lower side of the outer air guide plate 22 (eg Figure 8 As shown), the flipping requirement of the outer air guide plate 22 is met.

[0075] The swing arm and the outer air guide plate 22 may also be rotatably connected. The rotation of the outer air guide plate 22 relative to the swing arm may be achieved by setting a driving structure to realize automatic rotation, or by manual force applied by the user. By rotating the outer air guide plate 22 relative to the swing arm, the outer air guide plate 22 may be manually or automatically rotated to a more suitable position, which makes it easy for the user to adjust the position of the outer air guide plate 22 as needed, and is also conducive to reducing the design requirements for the swing arm mechanism 32.

[0076] In one embodiment, Figures 7 to 9 As shown, the swing arm mechanism 32 includes a first swing arm 321 and a second swing arm 322, one end of the first swing arm 321 is connected to the driving member, and the end is a rotation fulcrum. The other end of the first swing arm 321 is connected to the outer air guide plate 22, and the connection part can be located at a rear position (such as a rear end) in the width direction (front-to-back direction) of the outer air guide plate 22. The first swing arm 321 can rotate around the rotation fulcrum under the drive of the driving member, and drive the outer air guide plate 22 to rotate during the rotation process. One end of the second swing arm 322 is rotatably connected to the panel body 1, and the end is a rotation fulcrum. The other end of the second swing arm 322 is connected to the outer air guide plate 22, and the connection part can be located at a front position (such as a middle front position) in the width direction (front-to-back direction) of the outer air guide plate 22. The second swing arm 322 can support the outer air guide plate 22 during the rotation of the outer air guide plate 22, so that the outer air guide plate 22 can stably rotate and remain in different positions during the rotation process to achieve the wind guiding effect.

[0077] By reasonably setting the position and shape of the rotation fulcrum of the first swing arm 321 / the second swing arm 322, as well as the connection position with the outer air guide plate 22, it can be achieved that the outer air guide plate 22 can be flipped approximately 180° backward. For example, the rotation fulcrum of the first swing arm 321 and the second swing arm 322 can be located at the rear side of the width direction (front-to-back direction) of the air outlet area 121, so that the first swing arm 321 can swing backward to a large extent, so that the outer air guide plate 22 can be flipped approximately 180° backward. Since the outer air guide plate 22 and the swing arm mechanism 32 form a structure similar to a connecting rod, the outer air guide plate 22 can also be lifted and lowered as a whole relative to the panel body 1 to a certain extent during the rotation process, so that the outer air guide plate 22 will not interfere with the decorative panel 5 during the rotation process.

[0078] like Figures 7 to 10 As shown, an embodiment of the present application also provides an air conditioner, including a panel assembly as in any one of the above embodiments, and thus having all the above beneficial effects, which will not be described in detail in this step.

[0079] The air conditioner may be an indoor unit of a split-type air conditioner or an integrated-type air conditioner.

[0080] In some exemplary embodiments, the air conditioner is an embedded air conditioner, which can be embedded in the ceiling or in a suspended ceiling, and can be in the kitchen or in other spaces, such as a living room, bathroom or other places.

[0081] In some exemplary embodiments, the air conditioner is a kitchen air conditioner, but is certainly not limited to a kitchen air conditioner.
