Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of air conditioners, and particularly relates to a panel assembly and an air conditioner. Background Art

[0002] An air conditioner, that is, an Air Conditioner, refers to a device that uses artificial means to adjust and control parameters such as the temperature, humidity, and flow rate of the air environment in a building or structure, and mainly includes a compressor, a condenser, and an evaporator.

[0003] In the existing wall-mounted air conditioners, the air outlet is often opened by the direct drive of a motor to turn the air deflector outwards. Generally, the rotating arm at the lower end of the air deflector is rotatably connected to the air conditioner body as the rotation axis, and the upper end of the air deflector is a free end. The upper end of the air deflector rotates away from the wall-mounted air conditioner body around the rotation axis under the drive of the motor to open the air outlet; however, with such a setting, even when the air deflector is opened to the maximum angle, the lower end of the air deflector is still in a position close to the air conditioner body. Therefore, the whole air deflector still blocks the front of the air outlet, forming an obstruction to the air flow when the wall-mounted air conditioner needs to blow air downwards, and reducing the air supply range of the air conditioner.

[0036] As Figure 1 shown, when the panel assembly in the prior art is opened, a part of the air deflector 100 blocks in front of the air outlet 11, forming an obstruction to the downward air flow, and reducing the air supply range of the air conditioner.

[0037] To solve the above problems, as Figures 2-6As shown in the figure, the present application provides a panel assembly, which includes a wind guide plate 100 and a driving mechanism 20. The driving mechanism 20 is used to drive the wind guide plate 100 to move between a closed position and a fully open position. When the wind guide plate 100 is in the closed position, the first end 101 of the wind guide plate 100 abuts against or approaches the lower edge of the air outlet 11, and the second end 102 of the wind guide plate 100 abuts against or approaches the upper edge of the air outlet 11. When the wind guide plate 100 is in the fully open position, the first end 101 is far from the lower edge of the air outlet 11, and the second end 102 moves to a position close to the lower edge of the air outlet 11.

[0038] Or in another embodiment, when the wind guide plate 100 is in the fully open position, the second end 102 is far from the upper end of the air outlet 11, and the first end 101 moves to a position close to the upper edge of the air outlet 11.

[0039] It should be noted that the first end 101 of the wind guide plate 100 is generally the bottom end of the wind guide plate 100, and the second end 102 of the wind guide plate 100 is generally the top end of the wind guide plate 100.

[0040] By the above description, in some embodiments, the opening mode of the wind guide plate 100 is that the second end 102 (top end) of the wind guide plate 100 moves to a position close to the lower edge of the air outlet 11, and the first end 101 (bottom end) of the wind guide plate 100 follows the movement direction of the top end and moves away from the lower edge of the air outlet 11, that is, the whole moves to the lower side of the air outlet 11, so that the wind guide plate 100 completely avoids the air outlet 11 and ensures the air outlet range of the air outlet 11.

[0041] In some other embodiments, the opening mode of the wind guide plate 100 is that the first end 101 (bottom end) of the wind guide plate 100 moves to a position close to the upper edge of the air outlet 11, and the second end 102 (top end) of the wind guide plate 100 follows the movement direction of the bottom end and moves away from the upper edge of the air outlet 11, that is, the whole moves to the upper side of the air outlet 11, so that the wind guide plate 100 completely avoids the air outlet 11.

[0042] It can be understood that the panel assembly drives the wind guide plate 100 to move between the closed position and the fully open position by setting the driving mechanism 20, and when the wind guide plate 100 is in the fully open position, the whole of the wind guide plate 100 is located on one side of the air outlet 11, that is, when the wind guide plate 100 is in the fully open position, it avoids the air outlet 11, prevents the wind guide plate 100 from blocking the air outlet 11 when it is opened, and increases the air outlet range of the air conditioner.

[0043] In some embodiments, the driving mechanism 20 further includes a rotating rod 200. The fixed end of the rotating rod 200 is rotatably arranged in the air conditioner indoor unit 10, and the movable end of the rotating rod 200 is connected to the first end 101.

[0044] In some other embodiments, the movable end of the rotating rod 200 is connected to the second end 102.

[0045] Based on the above two embodiments, the driving mechanism 20 is configured such that when the rotating rod 200 rotates from the first position to the second position, the air deflector 100 moves from the closed position to the fully open position, and when the rotating rod 200 moves from the second position to the first position, the air deflector 100 moves from the fully open position to the closed position.

[0046] It should be noted that the fixed end of the rotating rod 200 is rotatably connected to the air conditioner indoor unit 10, enabling the movable end to rotate with the fixed end as the rotation center.

[0047] When the movable end of the rotating rod 200 is connected to the second end 102, when the rotating rod 200 moves from the first position to the second position, the movable end moves from near the upper end of the air outlet 11 to near the lower end of the air outlet 11. When the rotating rod 200 is in the second position, the air deflector 100 is in the fully open position, the first end 101 is away from the lower edge of the air outlet 11, and the second end 102 moves to a position close to the lower edge of the air outlet 11.

[0048] When the movable end of the rotating rod 200 is connected to the first end 101, when the rotating rod 200 moves from the first position to the second position, the movable end moves from near the lower end of the air outlet 11 to near the upper end of the air outlet 11, when the rotating rod 200 is in the second position.

[0049] In some embodiments, the angle between the air deflector 100 and the rotating rod 200 is set such that the air deflector 100 can cross over the lower or upper end of the air outlet 11 as the rotating rod 200 rotates.

[0050] In some embodiments, in order to cooperate with the air deflector 100 to smoothly cross over the lower or upper end of the air outlet 11, when the rotating rod 200 is connected to the second end 102, the housing of the air conditioner indoor unit 10 is provided with an avoidance structure at the lower end of the air outlet 11 (such as shortening the length of the lower edge) so that the air deflector 100 can smoothly cross over the lower end of the air outlet. Similarly, when the rotating rod 200 is connected to the first end 101, the housing of the air conditioner indoor unit 10 is provided with an avoidance structure at the upper end of the air outlet 11 (such as shortening the length of the upper edge) so that the air deflector 100 can smoothly cross over the upper end of the air outlet 11.

[0051] Generally, the rotating rod 200 is rotatably arranged inside the air conditioner indoor unit 10. Through the rotating rod 200, the air deflector 100 is arranged at the air outlet 11 for closing the air outlet 11. When the rotating rod 200 is connected to the second end 102, the connecting end of the rotating rod 200 and the air deflector 100 is close to the upper edge of the air outlet 11, and the air deflector 100 completely blocks the air outlet 11, and the air outlet 11 is closed. When the air outlet 11 needs to be opened, the connecting end of the rotating rod 200 needs to move towards the lower end of the air outlet 11. That is, at this time, the first position is near the upper end of the air outlet 11, and the second position is near the lower end of the air outlet 11.

[0052] When the rotating rod 200 is connected to the first end 101, the connecting end of the rotating rod 200 and the air deflector 100 is close to the lower edge of the air outlet 11, and the air deflector 100 completely blocks the air outlet 11, and the air outlet 11 is closed. When the air outlet 11 needs to be opened, the connecting end of the rotating rod 200 needs to move towards the upper end of the air outlet 11. That is, at this time, the first position is near the lower end of the air outlet 11, and the second position is near the upper end of the air outlet 11.

[0053] Through the above description, those skilled in the art can understand that the panel assembly rotatably arranges the fixed end of the rotating rod 200 inside the air conditioner indoor unit 10, connects the rotating rod 200 to the second end 102 or the first end 101, and configures the movable end of the rotating rod 200 to be reciprocally movable near the lower end and the upper end of the air outlet 11, so that the rotating rod 200 can drive the air deflector 100 to move between the closed position and the fully open position, and when the air deflector 100 is in the fully open position, the air deflector 100 is located on one side of the air outlet 11, so that the air deflector 100 cannot block the air outlet 11, thereby increasing the air outlet range of the air conditioner.

[0054] In some embodiments, the rotating rod 200 can not only stop near the lower end of the air outlet 11 and near the upper end of the air outlet 11, but also stop at any position between the upper end and the lower end of the air outlet 11.

[0055] It should be noted that the rotating rod 200 can be driven by a mechanical device arranged in the air conditioner indoor unit 10, or can be directly driven by external human power.

[0056] In some embodiments, the driving mechanism 20 further includes a driving device 300, and the driving device 300 is used to drive the rotating rod 200 to rotate.

[0057] For example, the air conditioner can control the driving device 300 to adjust the position of the rotating rod 200 according to the air outlet requirement, so that the air outlet range of the air conditioner can be adjusted.

[0058] In some embodiments, the driving device 300 includes a driving crank 301 and a driven crank 302. The driving crank 301 is configured to rotate about a first rotation center. One end of the driven crank 302 is hinged to one end of the driving crank 301, and the other end of the driven crank 302 is hinged to the rotating rod 200.

[0059] It can be understood that the driving crank 301 and the driven crank 302 are hinged to form a crank - connecting rod mechanism. The rotation of the driving crank 301 drives the driven crank 302 to displace and rotate to a certain extent, so that the rotating rod 200 moves following the driven crank 302, realizing that the movable end of the rotating rod 200 and the air deflector 100 can reciprocate near the upper end and the lower end of the air outlet 11.

[0060] In some specific embodiments, the driving device 300 further includes a driving motor. The driving motor is fixed on the middle frame of the air conditioner indoor unit 10, and one end of the driving crank 301 is connected to the rotating shaft of the driving motor, so that the driving crank 301 rotates about the first rotation center.

[0061] In some embodiments, the first rotation center is located between the rotation centers of the air deflector 100 and the rotating rod 200. The length of the driving crank 301 is greater than the length of the driven crank 302, and the connection part of the driven crank 302 and the rotating rod 200 is close to the air deflector 100.

[0062] It should be noted that through the above - mentioned setting, the torque for the driving device 300 to rotate the air deflector 100 can be further reduced.

[0063] It can be understood that after setting the lengths of the cranks according to the above - mentioned scheme, in order to make the rotating rod 200 rotate between the first position and the second position, that is, to ensure that the connection end of the rotating rod 200 and the air deflector 100 can reciprocate near the upper end and the lower end of the air outlet 11, it is necessary to ensure that the rotation angle of the driving crank 301 is greater than the rotation angle of the driven crank 302. Therefore, the first rotation center is set between the rotation centers of the air deflector 100 and the rotating rod 200.

[0064] It should be noted that since the first rotation center is located between the rotation centers of the air deflector 100 and the rotating rod 200, the installation position of the driving motor is located between the rotation centers of the air deflector 100 and the rotating rod 200.

[0065] In some embodiments, after the position of the first rotation center is determined as above, in order to ensure that the driving device 300 can drive the rotating rod 200 to move between the first position and the second position during normal operation, when the rotating rod 200 is connected to the second end 102, the first rotation center is set close to the upper end of the air outlet 11.

[0066] Specifically, for example, the first rotation center is the fixed end of the driving crank 301. The fixed end of the driving crank 301 is located in the air duct of the indoor unit 10 of the air conditioner near the cross-flow fan, and at the same time, the fixed end of the driving crank 301 is arranged close to the upper end of the air outlet.

[0067] Similarly, in some embodiments, after the position of the first rotation center is determined above, in order to ensure that the driving device 300 can drive the rotating rod 200 to move between the first position and the second position during normal operation, when the rotating rod 200 is connected to the first end 101, the first rotation center is arranged close to the lower end of the air outlet 11.

[0068] Specifically, for example, the first rotation center is the fixed end of the driving crank 301. The fixed end of the driving crank 301 is located in the air duct of the indoor unit 10 of the air conditioner near the cross-flow fan, and at the same time, the fixed end of the driving crank 301 is arranged close to the upper end of the air outlet 11.

[0069] In some embodiments, since the driving crank 301 is configured to rotate around the first rotation center, the rotating rod 200 only needs to follow the movement of the driven crank 302, that is, the rotating rod 200 only needs to rotate under the action of the driven crank 302. Therefore, the fixed end of the rotating rod 200 can be directly rotatably connected to the middle frame of the indoor unit 10 of the air conditioner.

[0070] In some embodiments, the driving device 300 is a driving motor. The driving motor is arranged on the middle frame of the indoor unit 10 of the air conditioner, and the end of the rotating rod 200 far from the air deflector 100 is connected to the rotating shaft of the driving motor.

[0071] It can be understood that setting the driving device 300 as a driving motor to directly drive the rotation of the rotating shaft can simplify the structure at the cost of more torque required for rotation compared with the above solution where the driving device 300 is a crank-link mechanism. The crank-link mechanism can save more torque and energy consumption when rotating the rotating rod 200 relative to the direct drive of the motor. Those skilled in the art can choose the solution of the driving device 300 according to the space and power consumption of the indoor unit 10 of the air conditioner as appropriate.

[0072] In some embodiments, the air deflector 100 is configured to be attached to the bottom surface or the front surface of the housing of the indoor unit 10 of the air conditioner when moving to the fully open position.

[0073] Specifically, for example, the air deflector 100 is connected to the rotating rod 200 at a preset angle. The preset angle is configured such that when the connecting end of the rotating rod 200 and the air deflector 100 moves near the lower end or the upper end of the air outlet 11, the air deflector 100 is attached to the bottom surface or the front surface of the housing of the indoor unit 10 of the air conditioner.

[0074] It should be noted that when the connection end of the rotating rod 200 and the air deflector 100 moves near or at the lower end of the air outlet 11, the air deflector 100 is completely located on one side of the air outlet 11, and one side of the air outlet 11 is the bottom surface of the housing of the indoor unit 10 of the air conditioner, and the other side of the air outlet 11 is the front surface of the housing of the indoor unit 10 of the air conditioner. If the air deflector 100 forms a certain angle with the bottom surface or the front surface of the housing of the indoor unit 10 at this time, it will cause the appearance of the indoor unit 10 of the air conditioner to lack integrity at this moment, resulting in a decrease in aesthetics. Therefore, by presetting an included angle between the air deflector 100 and the rotating rod 200 in advance, and configuring the preset included angle so that when the connection end of the rotating rod 200 and the air deflector 100 moves to the bottom or the top of the air outlet 11, the air deflector 100 fits against the bottom surface or the front surface of the housing of the indoor unit 10, the appearance of the indoor unit 10 of the air conditioner is ensured to be integrally formed at this time, and thus has a better appearance.

[0075] In some embodiments, the air deflector 100 and the rotating rod 200 are rotatably connected, that is, the included angle between the air deflector 100 and the rotating rod 200 is adjustable. When the connection end of the rotating rod 200 and the air deflector 100 is located between the top and the bottom of the air outlet 11, the air outlet range of the air conditioner can be changed by adjusting the included angle between the air deflector 100 and the rotating rod 200.

[0076] Furthermore, in some embodiments, a motor is provided at the non-rotating end of the rotating rod 200, that is, a motor is provided at the end of the rotating rod 200 connected to the air deflector 100, and the air deflector 100 is connected to the rotating shaft of the motor. Furthermore, the control center of the air conditioner can control the motor to rotate so as to adjust the included angle between the air deflector 100 and the rotating rod 200 to change the air outlet range of the air conditioner.

[0077] In some embodiments, the present application also provides an air conditioner, which includes the panel assembly in the above-mentioned part or all of the embodiments. Therefore, the air conditioner has the beneficial effects of the above-mentioned part or all of the embodiments of the panel assembly, which will not be elaborated here one by one.

[0078] The above are only optional embodiments of the present application, and do not limit the patent scope of the present application. Any equivalent structural transformation made by using the specification and drawings of the present application under the application concept of the present application, or directly / indirectly applied in other related technical fields, is included in the patent protection scope of the present application.
