[0026] The realization of the purpose, functional features and advantages of this application will be further explained in conjunction with embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0027] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0028] The embodiment of the present application provides an air outlet structure to solve the technical problem of low installation efficiency of shutters in the prior art.

[0029] In the embodiments of the present application, Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, the air outlet structure includes a frame 10, a shutter 20 and an elastic mounting assembly 30. The frame 10 has an inner wall provided with a mounting groove 11. The shutter 20 has a fixing groove 21 corresponding to the mounting groove 11. The elastic mounting assembly 30 includes a plug-in fixing member 31 and an elastic member 32. The plug-in fixing member 31 and the elastic member 32 are both arranged in the mounting groove 11. The elastic member 32 is connected to the plug-in fixing member 31. The plug-in fixing member 31 can move toward the direction close to the shutter 20 under the elastic force of the elastic member 32, so that one end of the plug-in fixing member 31 is inserted into the fixing groove 21.

[0030] It should be noted that in the prior art, the blinds and the frame are mostly assembled by screw connection or snap connection, and the assembly process is relatively complicated, resulting in low installation efficiency of the blinds.

[0031] To this end, the air outlet structure provided by the present application is achieved by arranging both the plug-in fixing member 31 and the elastic member 32 in the installation groove 11. When the blinds 20 are installed, the blinds 20 are placed at the corresponding position of the frame 10 to connect the fixing groove 21 with the installation groove 11. Since the plug-in fixing member 31 is elastically connected to the elastic member 32, the plug-in fixing member 31 can move toward the direction close to the blinds 20 under the elastic force of the elastic member 32, so that one end of the plug-in fixing member 31 is inserted into the fixing groove 21, thereby realizing the installation of the blinds 20. In the present application, the installation of the blinds 20 can be achieved by the elastic force of the elastic member 32. The entire installation process is simple to operate, saves time and effort, and improves the installation efficiency of the blinds 20.

[0032] For details, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The frame 10 can be a rectangular frame, and the frame 10 has an air inlet end and an air outlet end that are relatively arranged. The shutter 20 is installed at the air outlet end of the frame 10, and the installation groove 11 is arranged on the inner wall of the frame 10 near the air outlet end. The fixing groove 21 is arranged on the side wall of the shutter 20 so that the fixing groove 21 can be connected with the installation groove 11 when the shutter 20 is installed at the air outlet end of the frame 10.

[0033] See also Figure 2 and Figure 4 The fixing groove 21 and the mounting groove 11 can both be cylindrical grooves. In this embodiment, one end of the elastic member 32 can be connected to the bottom wall of the mounting groove 11, and the other end of the elastic member 32 can be connected to the plug-in fixing member 31, and when the elastic member 32 is in an unstressed state, the end of the plug-in fixing member 31 away from the elastic member 32 can be exposed in the mounting groove 11.

[0034] During installation, a force is applied to the elastic member 32 so that the elastic member 32 is in a compressed state, so that the entire plug-in fixing member 31 can be located in the installation groove 11. Then, the blind 20 is placed at the air outlet end of the frame 10 and the force applied to the elastic member 32 is cancelled. The plug-in fixing member 31 can move toward the blind 20 under the elastic force of the elastic member 32, so that the end of the plug-in fixing member 31 away from the elastic member 32 is inserted into the fixing groove 21, thereby realizing the assembly between the blind 20 and the frame 10. The operation is simple and time-saving and labor-saving.

[0035] In order to ensure that one end of the plug-in fixing part 31 can be installed in the fixing groove 21, the size of the plug-in fixing part 31 needs to be compatible with the size of the fixing groove 21. In this embodiment, the fixing groove 21 and the plug-in fixing part 31 can be set to a cylindrical shape, and the inner diameter of the fixing groove 21 is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the plug-in fixing part 31 to ensure that the shutter 20 will not shake relative to the frame 10 after assembly is completed.

[0036] In addition, in the present embodiment, a plurality of mounting grooves 11 may be provided on the inner wall of the frame 10, each mounting groove 11 being provided with an elastic mounting assembly 30, and a plurality of fixing grooves 21 may be provided on the shutter 20, and the plurality of fixing grooves 21 are provided in a one-to-one correspondence with the plurality of mounting grooves 11, so that the shutter 20 is connected to the frame 10 through a plurality of plug-in fixing parts 31, so that the shutter 20 is fixed on the frame 10 more stably.

[0037] Optionally, in one embodiment, see Figure 4 and Figure 5 The air outlet structure also includes a toggle member 40. An operating groove 12 connected to the mounting groove 11 is provided on the outer wall of the frame 10. The toggle member 40 is movably arranged in the operating groove 12, and the toggle member 40 is connected to the plug-in fixing member 31 to drive the plug-in fixing member 31 to move in a direction away from the blind 20.

[0038] It is understandable that since the installation groove 11 is arranged on the inner wall of the frame 10, it is not convenient to apply force to the elastic member 32. Therefore, in this embodiment, an operating groove 12 is arranged on the outer wall of the frame 10 to change the force state of the elastic member 32 by controlling the toggle member 40, so as to simplify the installation of the blinds 20 and further improve the installation efficiency of the blinds 20.

[0039] Specifically, the toggle member 40 is in the shape of a flat plate, and the toggle member 40 can be integrally arranged on the side of the plug-in fixing member 31 so that the toggle member 40 and the plug-in fixing member 31 can move synchronously. Before installing the blinds 20, it is only necessary to control the toggle member 40 to move in a direction away from the blinds 20 so that the entire plug-in fixing member 31 is located in the installation groove 11, and the elastic member 32 is in a compressed state at this time; then the blinds 20 is placed at the air outlet end of the frame 10 and the toggle member 40 is released. Under the action of the restoring force of the elastic member 32, the elastic member 32 pushes both the plug-in fixing member 31 and the toggle member 40 to move in a direction close to the blinds 20, thereby installing the blinds 20 on the frame 10.

[0040] Optionally, in one embodiment, see Figure 4 and Figure 5 The elastic mounting assembly 30 also includes a cylinder 33 and a movable plate 34. The cylinder 33 is arranged in the mounting groove 11. The movable plate 34 and the elastic member 32 are both arranged in the cylinder 33. A part of the plug-in fixing member 31 is inserted in the cylinder 33 and connected to the movable plate 34. The toggle member 40 is connected to the movable plate 34 to drive the plug-in fixing member 31 to move.

[0041] Specifically, the cylinder 33 is fixed in the mounting groove 11 so that the relative position of the cylinder 33 does not change when the plug-in fixing member 31 moves, and the movable plate 34 can move in the cylinder 33. In this embodiment, the plug-in fixing member 31 can be integrally connected with the movable plate 34, and the toggle member 40 and the movable plate 34 can also be fixed by welding or integral connection, so that the toggle member 40 drives the movable plate 34 to move while driving the plug-in fixing member 31 to move.

[0042] Optionally, in one embodiment, see Figure 4 and Figure 5 The elastic member 32 is sleeved on the plug-in fixing member 31, and one end of the elastic member 32 is fixedly connected to the movable plate 34, and the other end of the elastic member 32 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the cylinder 33. When the movable plate 34 moves in a direction away from the shutter 20, the elastic member 32 is in a stretched state.

[0043] For details, please refer to Figure 4The cylinder 33 can be set to a cylindrical shape, with a cylindrical inner cavity therein, and the movable plate 34 is set at the end of the plug-in fixing member 31 away from the shutter 20. In this embodiment, when the shutter 20 is installed, the movable plate 34 is driven by the toggle member 40 to move in the cylinder 33 in the direction away from the shutter 20, and then the plug-in fixing member 31 is driven to move in the direction away from the shutter 20, so that the entire plug-in fixing member 31 is located in the installation groove 11. At this time, the elastic member 32 is in a stretched state, and then the shutter 20 is placed in the corresponding position and the toggle member 40 is released. Under the action of the resetting force of the elastic member 32, the elastic member 32 synchronously drives the movable plate 34 and the plug-in fixing member 31 to move in the direction close to the shutter 20, so that the end of the plug-in fixing member 31 away from the movable plate 34 is inserted into the fixing groove 21, thereby realizing the assembly between the shutter 20 and the frame 10, which is simple to operate and saves time and effort.

[0044] Optionally, in one embodiment, see Figure 4 and Figure 5 A first opening 331 is provided on the side wall of the cylinder 33, and the first opening 331 extends along the movement direction of the plug-in fixing member 31, and the toggle member 40 is connected to the movable plate 34 through the first opening 331; and / or, a second opening 332 is provided on the side wall of the cylinder 33 close to the shutter 20, and the second opening 332 is adapted to the plug-in fixing member 31, and the plug-in fixing member 31 is passed through the second opening 332.

[0045] It can be understood that since the movable plate 34 is arranged in the cylinder 33 and the toggle member 40 is arranged in the operating groove 12, in this embodiment, a first opening 331 is provided on the side wall of the cylinder 33 so that the toggle member 40 can extend into the cylinder 33 through the first opening 331 and connect with the movable plate 34, thereby driving the movable plate 34 and the plug-in fixing member to move synchronously through the toggle member 40.

[0046] The inner diameter of the second opening 332 may be slightly larger than the outer diameter of the plug-in fixture 31 , so that the movement direction of the plug-in fixture 31 is limited by the peripheral wall of the second opening 332 , so that the plug-in fixture 31 can only move in a direction close to or away from the shutter 20 .

[0047] Optionally, in one embodiment, see Figure 5 A guide groove 333 is provided on the cylinder 33, and a guide block 341 is provided on the movable plate 34. The guide block 341 is slidably disposed in the guide groove 333 so that the plug-in fixing member 31 moves closer to or away from the shutter 20 along the extension direction of the guide groove 333.

[0048] Specifically, the guide groove 333 extends along the axial direction of the cylinder 33. When the toggle member 40 drives the movable plate 34 and the plug-in fixing member 31 to move synchronously, the guide block 341 is always located in the guide groove 333. In this embodiment, by providing the guide block 341 and the guide groove 333, a guiding and limiting function can be played when the movable plate 34 and the plug-in fixing member 31 move, thereby increasing the stability of the operation of the elastic mounting assembly 30, so that the end of the plug-in fixing member 31 away from the movable plate 34 can be smoothly inserted into the fixing groove 21.

[0049] Furthermore, there are multiple guide grooves 333 and multiple guide blocks 341, and the multiple guide grooves 333 are evenly spaced on the circumferential surface of the cylinder 33, and the multiple guide grooves 333 extend in the same direction. The multiple guide blocks 341 are arranged in the multiple guide grooves 333 in a one-to-one manner. Through the cooperation of the multiple guide grooves 333 and the multiple guide blocks 341, the stability of the operation of the elastic mounting assembly 30 is further improved.

[0050] Optionally, in one embodiment, see Figure 2 and Figure 3 A first limiting plate 13 is provided on the inner side wall of the frame 10 , and the shutter 20 abuts against the first limiting plate 13 so that the fixing groove 21 can be arranged corresponding to the installation groove 11 .

[0051] It can be understood that, through the setting of the first limiting plate 13, when the shutter 20 is installed on the first limiting plate 13, the fixing groove 21 can be connected with the installation groove 11, so that the end of the plug-in fixing member 31 away from the movable plate 34 can be inserted into the fixing groove 21, thereby improving the installation efficiency of the shutter 20.

[0052] In addition, in this embodiment, first limiting plates 13 may be respectively provided on two opposite side walls in the frame 10 , so that both sides of the shutter 20 are subjected to uniform force, which facilitates the assembly of the shutter 20 and the frame 10 .

[0053] For further information, see Figure 3 and Figure 6 The first limiting plate 13 is provided with a limiting post 131, and a limiting hole 22 is provided at a corresponding position of the shutter 20, and the limiting post 131 can be installed in the limiting hole 22. In this embodiment, by installing the limiting post 131 in the limiting hole 22, the shutter 20 will not shake in the frame 10, so that the shutter 20 can be installed on the frame 10 more stably.

[0054] In addition, in this embodiment, after the shutter 20 is installed on the frame 10, the outer surface of the frame 10 is flush with the outer surface of the shutter 20, which is beneficial to improving the aesthetic performance of the air outlet structure and enhancing the user experience.

[0055] Optionally, in one embodiment, see Figure 1 and Figure 4 The frame 10 has a second limiting plate 14 , which is covered on the operating slot 12 and fixedly connected to the toggle member 40 .

[0056] It is understandable that, by providing the second limiting plate 14, the operation slot 12 can be sealed to prevent the elastic mounting assembly 30 from being exposed and affecting the aesthetic performance of the air outlet structure. Figure 4 As shown, the second limit plate 14 and the toggle member 40 can be connected by screws, so that the toggle member 40 is fixed on the second limit plate 14. Since the toggle member 40 is fixedly connected to the movable plate 34 and the plug-in fixing member 31, the plug-in fixing member 31 will not spontaneously move in the installation groove 11, which is beneficial to ensure the stability of the air outlet structure and prevent the blinds 20 from falling off the frame 10.
