[0056] The louver assembly 1 according to an embodiment of the present utility model will be described below with reference to the drawings.

[0057] As Figure 2 shown, the louver assembly 1 according to an embodiment of the present utility model is used for an air conditioner 100. The air conditioner 100 has an air duct 22 and an air outlet 21 communicating with the air duct 22. The air flow in the air duct 22 blows out from the air outlet 21 into the room to achieve temperature adjustment of the room.

[0058] Specifically, referring to the attached Figure 4 and the attached Figure 5 shown, the louver assembly 1 is disposed in the air duct 22 and includes a mounting plate 11 and a plurality of louvers 12. The mounting plate 11 extends along the length direction of the air outlet 21 (the up-down direction shown in the attached Figure 4 figure) and is adapted to be connected to the inner wall of the air duct 22. The plurality of louvers 12 extend along the length direction of the mounting plate 11 (the up-down direction shown in the attached Figure 8They are arranged at intervals in the up-and-down direction (as shown) on the mounting plate 11. The arrangement of the louvers 12 can play a role in guiding the air flow, adjusting the flow direction of the air flow flowing out from the air outlet 21, so that the air flow direction meets the user's usage requirements. The louvers 12 are multiple and arranged at intervals along the length direction of the mounting plate 11, which can improve the guiding effect of the louver assembly 1 on the air flow and better meet the user's usage requirements.

[0059] It can be understood that the mounting plate 11 is used to connect the louver assembly 1 to the inner wall of the air duct 22, realizing the installation of the louver assembly 1 on the air conditioner 100. Compared with the prior art in which multiple louvers are installed on the inner wall of the air duct one by one, the present utility model directly fixes the entire louver assembly 1 in the air conditioner 100 through the cooperation of the mounting plate 11 and the inner wall of the air duct 22, without installing multiple louvers 12 one by one on the inner wall of the air duct 22, reducing the assembly process of the louver assembly 1, lowering the installation difficulty of the louver assembly 1, facilitating the disassembly and installation of the louver assembly 1, improving the production and manufacturing efficiency of the air conditioner 100, and reducing the assembly cost of the air conditioner 100.

[0060] According to the louver assembly 1 of the embodiment of the present utility model, the louver assembly 1 includes a mounting plate 11 and multiple louvers 12. The mounting plate 11 extends along the length direction of the air outlet 21 and is adapted to be connected to the inner wall of the air duct 22. The multiple louvers 12 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the mounting plate 11. While ensuring the guiding effect of the louver assembly 1 on the air flow, the entire louver assembly 1 can be directly fixed in the air conditioner 100 through the cooperation of the mounting plate 11 and the inner wall of the air duct 22, without installing multiple louvers 12 one by one on the inner wall of the air duct 22, reducing the assembly process of the louver assembly 1, lowering the installation difficulty of the louver assembly 1, facilitating the disassembly and installation of the louver assembly 1, improving the production and manufacturing efficiency of the air conditioner 100, and reducing the assembly cost of the air conditioner 100.

[0061] In some embodiments of the present utility model, referring to the attached Figure 4 and the attached Figure 8 As shown, the mounting plate 11 is arranged on one side of the louver 12 in the width direction (referring to the f direction shown in the attached Figure 8 figure). One end of the louver 12 in the length direction (referring to the g direction shown in the attached Figure 8 figure) is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 11 to form a fixed end, and the other end is a free end and extends towards or away from the air outlet 21. Thus, by adjusting the angle between the fixed end and the free end, the guiding of the air flow is realized to meet the user's usage requirements. It should be noted that when the free end is the end extending towards the air outlet 21 from the fixed end, the air flow in the air duct 22 flows from the fixed end to the free end and finally flows out from the air outlet 21; when the free end is the end extending away from the air outlet 21 from the fixed end, the air flow in the air duct 22 flows from the free end to the fixed end and finally flows out from the air outlet 21.

[0062] In a further embodiment of the present utility model, referring to the attached Figure 8 drawing, in the direction from the fixed end to the free end of the louver 12 (the g direction shown in the attached Figure 8 drawing), the louver 12 sequentially includes a first section 121 and a second section 122. The thickness of the first section 121 is greater than that of the second section 122. The fixed end is located at the first section 121, and the free end is located at the second section 122. The relatively large thickness of the first section 121 can ensure the structural strength of the fixed end of the louver 12 and the reliability of the connection between the louver 12 and the mounting plate 11. The relatively small thickness of the second section 122 can ensure the flexibility of the free end of the louver 12 and ensure the normal swinging of the louver 12, so as to realize the normal air guiding of the louver assembly 1 for the air flow flowing out of the air outlet 21 from the air duct 22.

[0063] In a still further embodiment of the present utility model, referring to the attached Figure 8 drawing, the thickness of the first section 121 is a, and satisfies: 1.5 mm ≤ a ≤ 3 mm, so as to ensure the structural strength of the first section 121, the reliability of the connection between the louver 12 and the mounting plate 11, and extend the service life of the louver assembly 1. For example, the thickness b of the first section 121 can be 1.5 mm, 1.8 mm, 2 mm, 2.1 mm, 2.4 mm, 2.7 mm or 3 mm.

[0064] Furthermore, referring to the attached Figure 8 drawing, the thickness of the second section 122 is b, and satisfies: b ≤ 0.8 mm, so as to ensure the flexibility of the second section 122 and the normal rotation of the louver 12, so as to realize the normal air guiding of the louver assembly 1 for the air flow flowing out of the air outlet 21 from the air duct 22. It should be noted that the thickness of the second section 122 needs to ensure the processing stability and sufficient structural strength, so as to ensure the reliability of the louver 12, the service life of the louver assembly 1, and reduce the maintenance frequency of the air conditioner 100. For example, the thickness b of the second section 122 can be 0.35 mm, 0.5 mm, 0.65 mm, 0.7 mm or 0.8 mm.

[0065] In a still further embodiment of the present utility model, referring to the attached Figure 8 drawing, the second section 122 includes a plurality of strip-shaped flexible parts 1221 and a plurality of strip-shaped reinforcing parts 1222 extending along the width direction of the louver 12. The plurality of strip-shaped flexible parts 1221 and the plurality of strip-shaped reinforcing parts 1222 are alternately arranged in sequence along the length direction of the louver 12. Among them, the thickness of the strip-shaped reinforcing part 1222 is greater than that of the strip-shaped flexible part 1221. In the cross-section perpendicular to the width direction of the louver 12, the shape of the second section 122 is approximately wavy.

[0066] It can be understood that the strip-shaped flexible part 1221 corresponds to the trough position of the cross-section. The strip-shaped flexible part 1221 has a smaller thickness and better flexibility, and is relatively easy to deform. The strip-shaped strengthening part 1222 corresponds to the peak position of the cross-section. The strip-shaped strengthening part 1222 has a larger thickness and better structural strength, which can strengthen the structural strength of the louver 12. Thus, by arranging a plurality of strip-shaped flexible parts 1221 and a plurality of strip-shaped strengthening parts 1222 alternately along the length direction of the louver 12 at one time, the louver 12 can be gradually deformed in the length direction to simultaneously meet the flexibility requirement and strength requirement of the louver 12, making the louver 12 not easy to shake, so that the wind speed of the outgoing air flow is stable, and further reducing the generation of noise.

[0067] In a specific example, referring to the appendix Figure 8 As shown, the thickness of the strip-shaped strengthening part 1222 is 0.8 mm, and the thickness of the strip-shaped flexible part 1221 is 0.35 mm. On the basis of ensuring the processing stability, it can not only ensure the structural strength of the second section 122, but also make the flexibility of the second section 122 as good as possible, ensuring the normal rotation of the louver 12.

[0068] In a further embodiment of the present invention, referring to the appendix Figure 8 As shown, in the direction from the first section 121 to the second section 122 (the g direction shown in the appendix Figure 8 shown), the thickness of the first section 121 gradually decreases, so that the thickness between the first section 121 and the second section 122 gradually transitions. When the louver 12 rotates, the swing amplitude from the first section 121 to the second section 122 gradually increases, meeting the air guiding requirement of the louver 12, and making the connection between the first section 121 and the second section 122 natural, avoiding the sudden change of air flow at the connection between the first section 121 and the second section 122 and affecting the normal flow of air.

[0069] In some embodiments of the present invention, referring to the appendix Figure 8 shown, a reinforcing rib 123 is provided at the connection between the louver 12 and the mounting plate 11. The reinforcing rib 123 is connected to the louver 12 and the mounting plate 11. The setting of the reinforcing rib 123 can improve the structural strength of the louver 12, improve the reliability of the connection between the louver 12 and the mounting plate 11, and further improve the reliability and stability of the louver assembly 1, extend the service life of the louver assembly 1, reduce the maintenance frequency of the air conditioner 100, and improve the user experience.

[0070] In a specific example, referring to the appendix Figure 8 shown, in the direction from the fixed end to the free end of the louver 12, the louver 12 sequentially includes a first section 121 and a second section 122. The first section 121 is connected to the mounting plate 11, and the second section 122 is spaced from the mounting plate 11. Along the thickness direction of the first section 121 (referring to the appendixFigure 8 In the up-down direction shown, on both sides of one end of the first section 121 connected to the mounting plate 11, reinforcing ribs 123 are provided. The reinforcing ribs 123 extend along the thickness direction of the first section 121 and are connected to the mounting plate 11, thereby further improving the structural strength of the first section 121, ensuring the reliability of the first section 121, and ensuring the stability of the louver 12.

[0071] In some embodiments of the present utility model, refer to the attached Figure 4 and the attached Figure 8 As shown, the louver assembly 1 further includes an air outlet grille 13. The air outlet grille 13 is provided on the mounting plate 11 and is located on the air outlet side of the louver 12. On the one hand, the air outlet grille 13 can prevent hands or other foreign objects from entering the interior of the air conditioner 100, protecting the safety of users and ensuring the normal operation of the air conditioner 100; on the other hand, the air outlet grille 13 can prevent insects, mice, etc. from entering the interior of the air conditioner 100 and causing damage to the air conditioner 100, ensuring the normal operation of the air conditioner 100 and ensuring the aesthetic appearance of the air conditioner 100.

[0072] It can be understood that, compared with the prior art in which the air outlet grille is provided on the housing of the air conditioner, in the present utility model, the air outlet grille 13 is provided on the louver assembly 1, so that the air outlet grille 13 can be detached along with the louver assembly 1. The air outlet grille 13 can ensure the aesthetic appearance of the air conditioner 100, and after the air outlet grille 13 is detached, it is convenient to replace the components inside the air conditioner 100, and at the same time, it is convenient to clean the air outlet grille 13, avoiding dust accumulation on the air outlet grille 13 due to long-term use, and then polluting the air flow blown out from the air outlet 21, which affects the health of users.

[0073] The present utility model also proposes a panel component 10 having the above-described louver assembly 1 of the embodiment.

[0074] As Figure 4 shown, the panel component 10 according to the embodiment of the present utility model includes a panel bracket 2, an air outlet frame 3, the above-described louver assembly 1, and a connecting rod 4.

[0075] Specifically, refer to the attached Figure 4 and the attached Figure 5 shown, the panel bracket 2 has an air outlet 21. The air outlet frame 3 is connected to the panel bracket 2 and jointly defines an air duct 22. The air outlet 21 is communicated with the air duct 22. The louver assembly 1 is provided in the air duct 22. The mounting plate 11 is connected to the inner wall of the air duct 22. The connecting rod 4 extends along the length direction of the air outlet 21, and the connecting rod 4 is rotatably connected to a plurality of louvers 12.

[0076] It can be understood that the connecting rod 4 is rotatably connected to the second section 122 of the plurality of louvers 12. Since the first section 121 of the louver 12 is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 11, and the mounting plate 11 is fixed to the inner wall of the air duct 22, the second section 122 rotates relative to the first section 121, causing the plurality of louvers 12 to swing along the length direction of the connecting rod 4 (refer to the up and down direction shown in the attached Figure 4 figure), thereby adjusting the flow direction of the air flow according to the requirements of different modes of the air conditioner 100 to meet different usage requirements of users.

[0077] According to the panel component 10 of the present invention, by providing the above-mentioned louver assembly 1, the louver assembly 1 includes a mounting plate 11 and a plurality of louvers 12. The mounting plate 11 extends along the length direction of the air outlet 21 and is adapted to be connected to the inner wall of the air duct 22. The plurality of louvers 12 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the mounting plate 11 on the mounting plate 11. While ensuring the guiding effect of the louver assembly 1 on the air flow, the entire louver assembly 1 can be directly fixed in the air conditioner 100 through the cooperation between the mounting plate 11 and the inner wall of the air duct 22, without individually installing the plurality of louvers 12 to the inner wall of the air duct 22, reducing the assembly process of the louver assembly 1, lowering the installation difficulty of the louver assembly 1, facilitating the disassembly and installation of the louver assembly 1, improving the production and manufacturing efficiency of the air conditioner 100, and reducing the assembly cost of the air conditioner 100.

[0078] In some embodiments of the present invention, referring to the attached Figure 7 figure, the mounting plate 11 is snap-connected to the inner wall of the air duct 22. By snap-connecting the mounting plate 11 to the inner wall of the air duct 22, it is convenient for the disassembly and assembly of the mounting plate 11, thereby reducing the disassembly and assembly difficulty of the louver assembly 1, facilitating the maintenance and replacement of the louver assembly 1, and reducing the maintenance difficulty and assembly difficulty of the panel component 10.

[0079] In a further embodiment of the present invention, referring to the attached Figure 7 figure, in combination with referring to the attached Figure 8 , the attached Figure 9 and the attached Figure 10 , the width direction of the mounting plate 11 (refer to the attached Figure 8One end of the opposite ends of the shown g direction is provided with a plug-in part 111, and the other end is provided with a hook 112.
