Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present disclosure relates to the technical field of air-conditioning air intake, and in particular to a foldable air intake assembly. Background Art

[0002] After the air inlet assembly of the air conditioner is manufactured in the factory, it is generally a raised structure, that is, an unfolded structure. This unfolded structure takes up a lot of space and is not convenient for storage and transportation. A new type of air inlet assembly is urgently needed to solve the problem of transportation and storage. Utility Model Content

[0003] Therefore, the utility model provides a foldable air inlet assembly, which solves the transportation and storage problems of the air inlet assembly in a foldable manner.

[0004] A foldable air inlet assembly comprises a square frame and a flexible member located in the square frame, wherein the flexible member is provided with an air inlet sleeve, the air inlet sleeve is provided with a filter screen, and a support member is hinged on the square frame; when the air inlet assembly is folded, the support member and the flexible member are located in the square frame; when the air inlet assembly is unfolded, the support member rotates, and its end portion presses against the flexible member, the flexible member protrudes and forms an air inlet cavity with the square frame.

[0005] Specifically, the support member is a trapezoidal structure, the longer bottom plate of the support member is hinged to the square frame, and the other three sides of the support member abut against the flexible member, so that the flexible member forms four surfaces.

[0006] Specifically, the upper bottom edge of the support member is snap-connected to the air inlet sleeve.

[0007] Specifically, the air inlet sleeve is located on one of the surfaces, and the filter plate is inclined with respect to the square frame.

[0008] Specifically, the filter screen is rotatably arranged on the air inlet sleeve, and the rotation axis of the filter screen passes through the center of the air inlet sleeve.

[0009] Specifically, a reinforcing rib plate is provided in the middle of the square frame.

[0010] Specifically, the filter screen cover is also installed on the air inlet sleeve, the filter screen cover is located in the air inlet cavity, and the filter screen cover is snap-connected to the air inlet sleeve.

[0011] Specifically, the flexible member is a plastic member or a rubber member.

[0012] The disclosed technical solution has the following advantages:

[0013] 1. This solution replaces the raised structure of the air inlet assembly with a flexible material, which can be stored or protruded from the square frame. When it is needed, the flexible material is supported by the support to form an unfolded state; when it is needed for storage and transportation, the support is rotated and stored in the square frame, thereby greatly reducing space occupation.

[0014] 2. In this solution, an air inlet sleeve is installed on the flexible member, and a filter screen is provided on the air inlet sleeve. When the air inlet assembly is in the unfolded state, the filter screen is inclined with the square frame. Then, after the incoming airflow enters the air inlet cavity, it first impacts one of the side walls. In this way, the direct delivery of the airflow is reduced, and the airflow is relatively stable when it extends into the rear space. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

Based on the embodiments in the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

[0025] The utility model embodiment provides a foldable air inlet assembly, referring to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 , including a square frame 1 and a flexible member 2 located in the square frame 1. The material of the flexible member 2 can be plastic, cloth or rubber. An air inlet sleeve 21 is arranged on the flexible member 2, and a filter screen 22 is arranged in the air inlet sleeve 21. A support member 11 is hinged in the square frame 1. When the air inlet assembly is folded, the support member 11 rotates, and its top abuts against the flexible member 2, so that the flexible member 2 bulges, and the air inlet assembly is unfolded, and an air inlet cavity 3 is formed between the flexible member 2 and the square frame 1; when the air inlet assembly is folded, the support member 11 is rotated, so that the support member 11 and the flexible member 2 are both located in the square frame 1. In this way, the materials of the air inlet assembly are all located in the square frame, which is convenient for stacking up and down, solving the problem of storage and transportation of the air inlet assembly.

[0026] The square frame 1 is preferably made of aluminum alloy, and the support member 11 is a trapezoidal metal member. The longer bottom edge of the support member 11 is hinged to the inner side of the square frame 1, so that the support member 11 can be rotated and stored in the square frame 1, or rotated upward to support the flexible member 2. When the support member 11 rotates upward to support the flexible member 2, the other three edges of the support member 11 abut against the flexible member 2, and the flexible member 2 presents four faces. The air inlet sleeve 21 is located on one of the faces, and the shorter upper bottom edge of the support member 11 is snap-connected with the air inlet sleeve 21 to prevent the support member 11 from rotating and shifting. The filter screen plate 22 is inclined with the square frame 1, and the cavity entering from the outside first enters the air inlet chamber 3, blows on one of the faces, is buffered, and then transported forward.

[0027] The filter screen plate 22 is disc-shaped and has a plurality of air inlet holes. The filter screen plate 22 is rotatably mounted in the air inlet sleeve 21, and the rotation axis of the filter screen plate 22 passes through the center of the air inlet sleeve 21. The filter screen plate 22 is rotatable in the air inlet sleeve 21. When the air inlet volume is too large, the filter screen plate 22 opens to increase the air inlet volume.

[0028] A filter screen cover 5 is also installed on the air inlet sleeve 21. The filter screen cover 5 is buckled on the air inlet sleeve 21 and is located in the air inlet cavity 3. The filter screen cover 5 filters impurities while providing a stable airflow for subsequent air intake. An installation sleeve 4 is also installed on the outside of the air inlet sleeve 21. The installation sleeve 4 is connected to the side wall of the air inlet sleeve 21 by bolts. The installation sleeve 4 is used to connect with the external structure to install the air inlet assembly.

[0029] A reinforcing rib plate 12 is also provided in the middle of the square frame 1 . The reinforcing rib plate 12 is made of the same material as the square frame 1 and is located in the middle of the square frame 1 to strengthen the structural strength of the square frame 1 .

[0030] The working principle of the foldable air inlet assembly provided by the utility model is that the raised structure of the air inlet assembly is replaced by a flexible material, and the flexible material can be stored in a square frame 1. When it is needed to be used, the flexible material is supported by the support member 11 to form an unfolded state; when it is needed to be stored and transported, the support member 11 is rotated and stored in the square frame 1, thereby greatly reducing space occupation.

[0031] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely examples for the purpose of clear explanation, and are not intended to limit the implementation methods. For those skilled in the art, other different forms of changes or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is not necessary and impossible to list all the implementation methods here. The obvious changes or modifications derived therefrom are still within the scope of protection of the present invention.
