Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] Embedded air conditioners are air conditioning equipment that can be embedded inside buildings. They are usually installed inside the ceiling or wall. They can effectively save indoor space and have a beautiful appearance. As people's demand for indoor space increases, the market prospects for embedded air conditioners are very broad.

[0003] Currently, embedded air conditioners on the market mostly use special panels to achieve the functions of return air and outlet air. The panel controls the wind direction and wind feeling through its own air duct and air guide mechanism. The panel is usually a plastic part with an air outlet. The air guide mechanism is installed on the panel and located at the air outlet. When the air conditioner is in the cooling state, cold air is blown out through the air outlet. The temperature of the plastic around the air outlet is low, resulting in a greater risk of condensation. Utility Model Content

[0039] 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.

[0040] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a panel assembly for an embedded air conditioner. The embedded air conditioner can be an indoor unit of an air conditioner or an all-in-one unit. The embedded air conditioner can be embedded in a ceiling (for example, embedded in a suspended ceiling), embedded in a wall, or embedded in other installation carriers. The following explanation is based on the example of an embedded air conditioner embedded in a ceiling. After leaving the factory, when the air conditioner is assembled, the panel body 1 is roughly horizontal.

[0041] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 As shown, the panel assembly includes: a panel body 1 and an air outlet frame assembly 2.

[0042] The panel body 1 is provided with a mounting groove 11. Figure 1 The air outlet frame assembly 2 is installed at the installation slot 11. The air outlet frame assembly 2 includes an air outlet frame 21 and an air guide mechanism 22 installed on the air outlet frame 21, as shown in FIG. Figure 3 and Figure 6 The air outlet frame 21 and the panel body 1 are split structures (as shown in FIG. Figure 1 As shown), and connected to the panel body 1.

[0043] Research has found that in the related art, the reason why condensation is easily generated in the area around the air outlet 31 of the embedded air conditioner is that the air outlet frame 21 and the panel are of an integrated design, that is, the panel itself is provided with the air outlet frame 21 and the air outlet 31. In the cooling state of the air conditioner, cold air is blown out through the air outlet frame 21, resulting in a low temperature of the air outlet frame 21. The panel is usually a plastic part. Due to the fast cold conduction of the plastic part itself, the panel temperature in the area around the air outlet 31 also drops significantly, resulting in a greater risk of condensation.

[0044] The panel assembly provided in the embodiment of the present application designs the air outlet frame 21 and the panel body 1 into a split structure, so that there is an assembly gap between the air outlet frame 21 and the panel body 1, which can suppress the cold conduction between the air outlet frame 21 and the panel body 1, thereby helping to reduce the risk of condensation in the area around the air outlet 31 of the panel body 1. In addition, the air outlet frame assembly 2 realizes a modular design, is independent of the panel body 1, can be standardized, and is convenient for universal replacement in products on the same platform.

[0045] In some exemplary embodiments, the air outlet frame 21 includes an air outlet frame body 211 and a connecting portion provided on the air outlet frame body 211. The connecting portion is connected to the panel body 1. An assembly gap is provided between the air outlet frame body 211 and the panel body 1. The width of the assembly gap may be in the range of, but not limited to, 0.2 mm to 0.4 mm, such as 0.2 mm, 0.3 mm, 0.4 mm, etc.

[0046] Among them, the connecting part can be a connecting column, a connecting hole, a buckle, a slot and other structures. The connecting part and the panel body 1 can be connected by a fastener (such as a screw), or can be connected by a snap connection, or can be connected by other methods. Although the connecting part of the air outlet frame 21 and the connecting part of the panel body 1 can be in contact, the cold conduction capacity is greatly reduced compared with the integrated design in the related art, which is beneficial to reduce the risk of condensation. The main part of the air outlet frame 21 (i.e., the air outlet frame body 211) has an assembly gap with the panel body 1 and is in a disconnected state, which can effectively reduce the cold conduction between the two, thereby helping to reduce the risk of condensation of the panel body 1.

[0047] In other words, the split design of the panel body 1 and the air outlet frame 21 changes the surface contact between the panel body 1 and the air outlet frame 21 into point contact, which can effectively reduce the cold conduction between the air outlet frame 21 and the panel body 1, thereby reducing the risk of condensation.

[0048] In one embodiment, the air outlet frame 21 is fixedly connected to the panel body 1 by two screws, and the two screws are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the air outlet frame 21. Figure 2 As shown, the two screws are located at positions a1 and a2. The cross-sectional view obtained by cutting the panel assembly along the BB direction ( Figure 7 ) It can be seen that the air outlet frame 21 and the panel body 1 have four disconnection locations in the circumferential direction, such as Figure 7 b1, b2, b3, b4 positions. The cross-sectional view obtained by cutting the panel assembly along the CC direction ( Figure 8 ) It can be seen that the air outlet frame 21 and the panel body 1 also have four disconnection locations in the circumferential direction, such as Figure 8 These disconnected locations can effectively suppress the cold conduction between the air outlet frame 21 and the panel body 1 .

[0049] In some exemplary embodiments, Figure 1 As shown, the panel body 1 is provided with an inspection port 12. The inspection port 12 is used to inspect the internal structure of the embedded air conditioner, such as the fan, heat exchanger, electric control box, etc. The panel body 1 can also be provided with a return air port, which is used to allow indoor air to enter the air conditioner.

[0050] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the panel assembly also includes: an inspection panel 3, which covers the inspection port 12 and the air outlet frame assembly 2 and is detachably connected to the panel body 1. The inspection panel 3 is provided with an air outlet 31 corresponding to the air guide mechanism 22, and the inspection panel 3 and the air outlet frame 21 are split structures.

[0051] In the related art, the inspection plate 3 is only covered on the inspection port 12, and the air outlet 31 is provided on the panel. Therefore, in the cooling state, the area around the air outlet 31 of the panel is prone to condensation risk. In this solution, the inspection plate 3 also covers the air outlet frame assembly 2, which can shield part of the structure of the air outlet frame assembly 2 (such as the driving structure of the air guide mechanism 22), playing a decorative role. In addition, the inspection plate 3 and the air outlet frame 21 are also split structures, which can make an assembly gap between the air outlet frame 21 and the inspection plate 3, so that the cold conduction between the air outlet frame 21 and the inspection plate 3 can be suppressed, thereby helping to reduce the condensation risk of the inspection plate 3 located in the area around the air outlet 31.

[0052] As for the detachable connection method between the access panel 3 and the panel body 1, it is not limited, and may include but is not limited to: a fastener connection method, a clamping method and a combination thereof. Some matching structures (such as concave-convex matching structures) may also be provided between the access panel 3 and the air outlet frame 21 to achieve positioning, limiting and other functions, improve the reliability of the panel assembly, and reduce the difficulty of assembling the panel assembly.

[0053] In some exemplary embodiments, the air outlet frame 21, the rear side wall of the installation slot 11 and the access panel 3 enclose the receiving slot 13, such as Figure 4 The panel assembly also includes a heat-insulating member 5 located in the receiving groove 13. The heat-insulating member 5 may be a structure such as a heat-insulating foam member. A heat-insulating gap 225 may be enclosed between the air outlet frame 21 and the panel body 1, and a heat-insulating member 5 may also be arranged in the heat-insulating gap 225 to improve the heat-insulating effect.

[0054] like Figure 4 As shown, the air outlet frame 21, the access panel 3 and the heat-insulating member 5 cooperate to form an air duct 4 connected to the air outlet 31, and the air guide mechanism 22 is located in the air duct 4. The three components enclose the air outlet duct 4, which facilitates the reasonable design of the shape of the air duct 4, achieves a better air guide effect, and is conducive to simplifying the structure of the air outlet frame 21, avoiding the air outlet frame 21 from being too complicated.

[0055] In some exemplary embodiments, Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the rear side wall of the air duct 4 includes: a first rear wall surface 41 located at the air outlet frame 21, a second rear wall surface 42 located at the heat preservation member 5, and a third rear wall surface 43 located at the access panel 3. The first rear wall surface 41, the second rear wall surface 42, and the third rear wall surface 43 are sequentially arranged along the air outlet direction. In other words, the first rear wall surface 41, the second rear wall surface 42, and the third rear wall surface 43 are sequentially arranged from top to bottom.

[0056] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, along the direction away from the first rear wall surface 41, the second rear wall surface 42 extends obliquely toward the direction close to the air guide mechanism 22 to guide the airflow to flow into the gap between the air guide mechanism 22 and the second rear wall surface 42, so that the air guide mechanism 22 can be wrapped in the wind field.

[0057] In other words, along the direction from top to bottom, the second rear wall surface 42 extends forwardly and can guide the airflow to flow into the gap between the back of the air guide mechanism 22 and the rear side wall of the air duct 4. In this way, part of the airflow in the air duct 4 will flow to the back of the air guide mechanism 22, so that the wind field wraps around the air guide mechanism 22. This is conducive to reducing the risk of condensation on the back of the air guide mechanism 22.

[0058] In the related art, when the air conditioner is cooled at a small angle, condensation is easily generated on the back of the air guide mechanism 22, and it is necessary to add insulation material on the back of the air guide mechanism 22 to insulate it, or to adjust the control logic to solve the condensation problem of the air guide mechanism 22. The embodiment of the present application optimizes and adjusts the structure of the rear side wall of the air duct 4, which is conducive to solving the condensation problem on the back of the air guide mechanism 22.

[0059] In some embodiments, the second rear wall surface 42 is configured as an arc surface, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, one end of the second rear wall surface 42 away from the first rear wall surface 41 protrudes forward from the third rear wall surface 43, which can play a better guiding role.

[0060] In some embodiments, Figure 5As shown, the length a of the first rear wall 41 is in the range of 45mm to 55mm, such as 45mm, 48mm, 50mm, 52mm, 55mm, etc. The spacing b between the end of the first rear wall 41 close to the insulation member 5 and the inspection plate 3 is in the range of 18mm to 22mm, such as 18mm, 19mm, 20mm, 21mm, 22mm, etc. The angle c formed by the connecting line of the two ends of the second rear wall 42 along the air outlet direction and the first rear wall 41 is in the range of 145° to 150°, such as 145°, 146°, 147°, 148°, 149°, 150°, etc. The width d of the end of the second rear wall 42 away from the first rear wall 41 protruding from the third rear wall 43 is in the range of 1mm to 1.5mm, such as 1mm, 1.1mm, 1.2mm, 1.3mm, 1.4mm, 1.5mm, etc.

[0061] It has been verified that the above solution can achieve a better anti-condensation effect. Of course, a, b, c, d are not limited to the above ranges and can be adjusted as needed.

[0062] In some exemplary embodiments, Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the front side wall of the air duct 4 includes: a first front wall surface 44 located at the air outlet frame 21, a second front wall surface 45 located at the air outlet frame 21, and a third front wall surface 46 located at the access panel 3. The first front wall surface 44, the second front wall surface 45, and the third front wall surface 46 are sequentially arranged along the air outlet direction. In other words, the first front wall surface 44, the second front wall surface 45, and the third front wall surface 46 are sequentially arranged from top to bottom.

[0063] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, along the direction away from the first front wall surface 44 , the second front wall surface 45 extends obliquely in the direction away from the air guide mechanism 22 ; along the direction away from the second front wall surface 45 , the third front wall surface 46 extends obliquely in the direction away from the air guide mechanism 22 .

[0064] In other words, along the direction from top to bottom, the second front wall surface 45 extends forwardly and tilts, and the third front wall surface 46 also extends forwardly and tilts with a greater tilting amplitude. This is conducive to guiding the airflow to flow forward, and is conducive to increasing the gap between the front side wall of the air duct 4 and the air guide mechanism 22, thereby facilitating increasing the air output.

[0065] In some embodiments, Figure 5As shown, the length j of the first front wall surface 44 is in the range of 30 mm to 40 mm, such as 30 mm, 32 mm, 35 mm, 38 mm, 40 mm, etc. The length k of the second front wall surface 45 is in the range of 25 mm to 35 mm, such as 25 mm, 28 mm, 30 mm, 32 mm, 35 mm, etc. The length l of the third front wall surface 46 is in the range of 6 mm to 10 mm, such as 6 mm, 7 mm, 8 mm, etc.

[0066] The angle m between the first front wall surface 44 and the plane where the air outlet 31 is located is in the range of 85° to 90°, such as 85°, 86°, 87°, 88°, 89°, 90°, etc. The angle n between the second front wall surface 45 and the plane where the air outlet 31 is located is in the range of 75° to 80°, such as 75°, 76°, 77°, 78°, 79°, 80°, etc. The angle o between the third front wall surface 46 and the plane where the air outlet 31 is located is in the range of 55° to 60°, such as 55°, 56°, 57°, 58°, 59°, 60°, etc.

[0067] It has been verified that the above solution can achieve a better wind guiding effect. Of course, j, k, l, m, n, and o are not limited to the above ranges and can be adjusted as needed.

[0068] In some exemplary embodiments, Figure 4 and Fig. 9 As shown, the air guide mechanism 22 includes: an air guide plate assembly and a swing blade assembly. The air guide plate assembly is used to achieve up and down air sweeping, and the swing blade assembly is used to achieve left and right air sweeping.

[0069] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the air guide plate assembly is configured as a double-layer air guide plate. The double-layer air guide plate includes a first air guide plate 221 and a second air guide plate 222, and the first air guide plate 221 and the second air guide plate 222 enclose a heat insulation gap 225. The first air guide plate 221 can be configured as a three-section structure, with a straight section in the middle and two ends appropriately inclined, so that the first air guide plate 221 and the second air guide plate 222 can enclose a heat insulation gap 225. The swing blade assembly is installed on the first air guide plate 221. It can be, Fig.11 As shown, the first air guide plate 221 is provided with a mounting hole 2211 , the rotating shaft of the swing blade assembly is installed at the mounting hole 2211 , and the multiple swing blades 223 of the swing blade assembly are connected by a connecting rod 224 .

[0070] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the second air guide plate 222 includes an inclined section 2221 and a non-inclined section 2222. The inclined section 2221 is connected to the rear end of the non-inclined section 2222. Along the direction away from the non-inclined section 2222, the inclined section 2221 extends obliquely toward the direction close to the swing blade assembly.

[0071] In other words, in the closed state, the inclined section 2221 of the second air guide plate 222 extends upwardly in an inclined direction from front to back. In this way, when the air guide mechanism 22 is in a small-angle air guide state (for example, the position reached by the air guide assembly after rotating 25° to 30° from the closed state), the distance between the inclined section 2221 and the second rear wall surface 42 of the rear side wall of the air duct 4 is larger, which can increase the effective ventilation cross-section on the back side of the air guide mechanism 22 compared to the solution without the inclined section 2221, and realize the effective wrapping of the air guide mechanism 22 by the wind field. In addition, due to the heat-insulating effect of the heat-insulating gap 225 inside the air guide assembly, the temperature on the back side of the air guide mechanism 22 is not too cold and a certain amount of cold wind passes through, and the air guide mechanism 22 is in a wind field wrapping state as a whole, thereby solving the condensation problem on the back side when the air guide plate is guiding air at a small angle (for example, it can be but not limited to the range of 25° to 30°).

[0072] In some embodiments, Figure 5 As shown, the maximum width e of the thermal insulation gap 225 is in the range of 3.5 mm to 4.5 mm, such as 3.5 mm, 3.8 mm, 4 mm, 4.2 mm, 4.5 mm, etc. The maximum width of the thermal insulation gap 225 may be the spacing width between the middle portion of the first air guide plate 221 and the non-inclined section 2222 of the second air guide plate 222, and the middle portion of the first air guide plate 221 and the non-inclined section 2222 of the second air guide plate 222 may be substantially parallel.

[0073] The length g of the inclined section 2221 is in the range of 19 mm to 23 mm, such as 19 mm, 20 mm, 21 mm, 22 mm, 23 mm, etc. The length f of the non-inclined section 2222 is in the range of 40 mm to 48 mm, such as 40 mm, 42 mm, 44 mm, 46 mm, 48 mm, etc. The inclination angle h of the inclined section 2221 relative to the non-inclined section 2222 is in the range of 7° to 8°, such as 7°, 7.5°, 8°, etc.

[0074] It has been verified that the above solution can achieve a better anti-condensation effect. Of course, e, f, g, and h are not limited to the above ranges and can be adjusted as needed.

[0075] In some exemplary embodiments, the air guide mechanism 22 is detachably connected to the air outlet frame 21, such as Fig. 9 and Fig.10 shown.

[0076] In this way, the air guide mechanism 22 can be disassembled as a whole from the air outlet frame 21 for easy cleaning and maintenance. Especially for an environment that is easily contaminated, such as a kitchen, the air guide mechanism 22 can be disassembled separately for cleaning and maintenance, which can greatly improve the user experience.

[0077] In one embodiment, the air guide plate assembly is provided with a plug-in portion and a snap-in portion (not marked in the figure) spaced apart along the length direction of the air guide plate assembly, and the air outlet frame 21 is provided with a plug-in fitting portion and a snap-in fitting portion, the plug-in fitting portion and the plug-in fitting portion are arranged to be plug-fitted, and the snap-in fitting portion and the snap-in fitting portion are arranged to be snap-fitted.

[0078] In this way, the air guide mechanism 22 can be disassembled, cleaned and replaced without the aid of tools or the need to disassemble the inspection plate 3 .
