[0030] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installation", "connection" and "connection" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection, or it can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal communication of two components. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0031] Reference Figures 1 to 5According to the first aspect of the present invention, an air outlet component for a kitchen air conditioner includes a first interface member 100 and a second interface member 200. The first interface member 100 is provided with a first air inlet 120 and at least two first air outlets 130. The first interface member 100 has a diversion cavity 110. The first air inlet 120 is used to connect to the cold air outlet of the refrigeration unit 300, and the first air outlet 130 and the first air inlet 120 are both connected to the diversion cavity 110. The second interface member 200 is provided with a total air outlet 240 and second air inlets 250 with the same number as the first air outlet 130. The second air inlets 250 are connected one by one with the corresponding first air outlets 130 through pipes. The total air outlet 240 is rectangular in shape. The second interface member 200 has a flow equalizing cavity 210. The flow equalizing cavity 210 is used to connect the second air inlets 250 with the total air outlet 240, and each second air inlet 250 is arranged along the length direction of the total air outlet 240. The first interface component 100 receives the cold air output by the refrigeration unit 300 from the first air inlet 120, and diverts it to each first air outlet 130 through the diversion chamber 110, so that the cold air can be diverted and transported to the corresponding second air inlet 250 through each pipe more evenly. The cold air in each pipe is transported independently, and the cold air between different pipes will not interfere and mix, forming cold air with different flow rates. Moreover, after the cold air in each pipe is diverted, the gas flow is more stable, and the cold air can be output smoothly. In addition, the multiple second air inlets 250 are arranged along the length direction of the air outlet, so that the cold air can be output at multiple locations along the length direction of the air outlet to improve the uniformity of the air outlet.

[0032] Specifically, the integrated kitchen air conditioner is generally installed at the ceiling, and its refrigeration unit 300 is located on the ceiling. The refrigeration unit 300 has a blower to output cold air, and the first interface part 100 is connected to the cold air output end, and the cold air is connected to the first air inlet 120, and the cold air is diverted to the first air outlet 130 through the diversion chamber 110. Two first air outlets 130 can be set, and the diversion chamber 110 can divide the cold air of the first air inlet 120 into two parts, and can further stabilize the airflow. The first air outlet 130 and the second air inlet 250 can be connected by a pipe, and the pipe can be a hose, which can be connected to the corresponding air inlet and outlet through a clamp. The two second air inlets 250 can output the received cold air at two places of the total air outlet 240, and the cold air flows through the flow equalizing chamber 210, which can further mix the airflow, so that the rectangular air outlet can discharge air more evenly in the length direction, thereby improving the user's comfort.

[0033] It should be noted that the space on the ceiling is limited, and the common pipe is a round pipe. In the prior art, one pipe is generally used to transport cold air. If the air outlet end of the refrigeration unit 300 is set to be very large, the diameter of the pipe is correspondingly set to be larger, which will increase the overall thickness of the air conditioner, and the airflow in a single large pipe is easy to interfere with each other to form unstable airflow. In this embodiment, the cold air from the first air inlet 120 can be diverted into two parts through the two first air outlets 130, so that the air intake volume can be maintained while being transported by two round pipes with relatively small diameters, thereby reducing the overall thickness, making the structure more compact, and the transported airflow more stable.

[0034] It should be noted that the first air outlet 130 and the second air inlet are not limited to the above embodiments, and other embodiments may also be adopted. For example, three first air outlets 130 may be provided, and three second air inlets may be provided accordingly.

[0035] Reference Figures 2 to 3 In some embodiments of the present invention, each first air outlet 130 is arranged opposite to the first air inlet 120, and the projection contour of the first air outlet 130 toward the first air inlet 120 is located within the contour of the first air inlet 120. It can reduce wind resistance and increase the air volume.

[0036] Specifically, two first air outlets 130 can be set, and the two first air outlets 130 are directly connected to the first air inlet 120, and the first air outlets 130 are both located within the outline of the first air inlet 120, so that the diversion cavity 110 can reduce resistance, and the cold air can be directly transported, which can reduce wind resistance, reduce transportation losses, and increase the transported air volume.

[0037] Reference Figures 2 to 3 In some embodiments of the utility model, the first air inlet 120 is rectangular, the first air outlet 130 is elliptical, and each first air outlet 130 is arranged at intervals along the direction of its short diameter. Specifically, the first air inlet 120 can be set to a rectangular shape. Compared with a circular shape, under the same area, the height of the rectangular shape can be set to be relatively small, which can maintain the air volume while reducing the thickness of the air conditioner, and the first air outlet 130 can be set to an elliptical shape. The elliptical air outlet can be connected to the circular tube through a clamp, and no special pipe is required. Compared with the circular air outlet, the elliptical air outlet can make full use of the rectangular area. Under the same rectangular first air inlet 120, the elliptical first air outlet 130 has a larger area than the circular air outlet, which can reduce the occupied space and maintain the delivered air volume.

[0038] Reference Figures 2 to 3In some embodiments of the present invention, the first interface member 100 has a guide portion 140, which is located between the first air outlet 130 and the first air inlet 120, and can guide the fluid from the first air inlet 120 to the first air outlet 130. Specifically, the ventilation area of ​​the two first air outlets 130 is smaller than the ventilation area of ​​the first air inlet 120, and the guide portion 140 can be a structure similar to a reducer, which can guide the cold air to flow to the first air outlet 130, play a guiding role, and reduce wind resistance.

[0039] Reference Figures 4 to 5 In some embodiments of the present invention, the second air inlet 250 is elliptical, and the second air inlet 250 is arranged at intervals along the direction of its long diameter. Specifically, the total air outlet 240 is rectangular, and the second air inlet 250 can be set to be elliptical, and its long diameter matches the length direction of the total air outlet 240. Compared with the circle, the ellipse can cover more air outlet area, and under the same air volume, the short diameter of the ellipse is the height, and the thickness of the air conditioner occupied by it is small, which can save volume without affecting the air volume.

[0040] Reference Figures 4 to 5 In some embodiments of the present invention, the air inlet direction of the second air inlet 250 and the air outlet direction of the main air outlet 240 form an angle, and the flow balancing chamber 210 is located between the second air inlet 250 and the main air outlet 240. The flow balancing chamber 210 can evenly guide the fluid from the second air inlet 250 to the main air outlet 240. The cold air received by the multiple second air inlets 250 can be evenly output from the main air outlet 240 during the mixing process, which can further improve the uniformity of the air outlet.

[0041] Specifically, the second interface component 200 can be provided with a structure similar to an elbow, and the second air inlet 250 is not directly connected to the main air outlet 240. After the cold air enters the second air inlet 250, it first collides with the inner wall of the second interface component 200, and then is guided to the main air outlet 240. The cold air is mixed in the second interface component 200, that is, mixed in the flow equalizing chamber 210, so that the cold air received by multiple second air inlets 250 can be evenly output from the main air outlet 240 during the mixing process, which can further improve the uniformity of the air outlet.

[0042] Reference Figures 4 to 5In some embodiments of the utility model, the air inlet direction of the second air inlet 250 is arranged perpendicular to the air outlet direction of the main air outlet 240. Specifically, the second interface member 200 can be bent 90 degrees so that the corresponding second air inlet 250 is arranged perpendicular to the main air outlet 240. Through the above structure, the second air inlet 250 can be conveniently connected with the first air outlet 130, and the main air outlet 240 generally outputs cold air vertically downward, so the main air outlet 240 is generally arranged perpendicular to the ceiling, so the direction of the second air inlet 250 is parallel to the ceiling, which can facilitate pipe laying and save height direction, so that the corresponding air conditioning structure is more compact.

[0043] Reference Figure 5 In some embodiments of the present invention, the second interface member 200 includes an upper shell 220 and a lower shell 230 which are arranged upper and lower, and the upper shell 220 and the lower shell 230 are detachably connected to form a flow equalization cavity 210 between the upper shell 220 and the lower shell 230.

[0044] Specifically, the second interface component 200 can be disassembled into an upper shell 220 and a lower shell 230, which can be easily stored and transported after disassembly. When installation is required, the upper shell 220 and the lower shell 230 can be installed and connected. The specific connection method can be snap-on, fastener connection, etc., which is not limited here. Through the above structure, the transportation volume of the components can be reduced, which is convenient for transportation and installation.

[0045] In some embodiments of the present invention, the upper shell 220 and the lower shell 230 are both made of heat-insulating materials, such as heat-insulating rubber materials, which can reduce the loss of cold and save energy.

[0046] According to the second aspect of the present invention, a kitchen air conditioner includes the above-mentioned air outlet assembly for a kitchen air conditioner. The above-mentioned air outlet assembly for a kitchen air conditioner can improve the uniformity of the cold air outlet of the kitchen air conditioner, thereby improving the user's comfort.
