Among them, the indoor unit of the air conditioning cabinet, as an indoor air conditioner with beautiful and diverse shapes and high layout flexibility, is becoming more and more widely used. At present, for the condensate water formed on components such as the air outlet frame and the front panel frame of some indoor units of air conditioning cabinets, most of them use gaskets to absorb water and dry naturally.

In the present utility model, a condensed water drainage structure is particularly arranged on the air outlet device, which can be used to guide the condensed water generated on the surfaces of the air outlet frame, the front panel frame, the middle decorative panel and the guide plate to flow into the water receiving tray arranged in the air conditioner indoor unit, thereby realizing the drainage of condensed water at multiple positions, expanding the drainage area, improving the drainage efficiency, avoiding the safety hazards caused by the accumulation of condensed water, and improving the use safety of the air conditioner indoor unit.

[0048] Figure 1 is a schematic structural diagram of an air conditioner indoor unit according to an embodiment of the present utility model. As Figure 1 shown, the air conditioner indoor unit 1 of the embodiment of the present utility model generally may include a housing 20 and an air outlet device 10.

[0049] AsFigure 1 As shown, an air supply opening 21 is formed in the cabinet 20. A heat exchange component (not shown in the figure) and an air duct component (not shown in the figure) are further provided inside the cabinet 20 to process the air flow entering the cabinet 20 and convey the processed air flow from the air supply opening 21 to the room to adjust the indoor environment.

[0051] Specifically, the air conditioner indoor unit 1 can be a vertical air conditioner indoor unit, the cabinet 20 is arranged vertically, the air supply opening 21 is formed in the middle of the cabinet 20 and extends in the vertical direction. The air outlet device 10 is arranged at the vertically extending air supply opening 21 and is provided with at least one air outlet 11 extending in the vertical direction. Specifically, the structure of the air outlet device 10 of the embodiment of the present invention will be described below in conjunction with Figures 2 to 6 this.

[0052] Figure 2 is an exploded view of the air outlet device according to an embodiment of the present invention. As Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, the air outlet device 10 of the embodiment of the present invention may include an air outlet frame 100, a front panel frame 200, and a middle decorative panel 300 arranged in sequence along the air supply direction of the air supply opening 21, and at least one guide plate 400 is arranged in the air outlet frame 100.

[0053] As Figure 1 shown, two air outlets 11 extending in the vertical direction are formed in the air outlet device 10. The front panel frame 200 covers the outside of the air outlet frame 100 and is located on the front side of the cabinet 20 of the air conditioner indoor unit 1 as a whole, and can form part of the appearance of the air outlet device 10 in the front view direction. The middle decorative panel 300 is vertically extended and arranged in the middle of the front panel frame 200, and its two lateral sides are respectively adjacent to an air outlet 11, and are used to beautify the overall appearance of the air outlet device 10 in the front view direction. At least one guide plate 400 extending vertically is arranged in each air outlet 11 of the air outlet device 10 to adjust the air outlet direction of the air outlet 11. In a specific embodiment, two spaced guide plates 400 are arranged in each air outlet 11.

[0054] As Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, a condensate drainage structure 500 is further provided on the air outlet device 10. The condensate drainage structure can be used to guide the condensate generated on the surfaces of the air outlet frame 100, the front panel frame 200, the middle decorative panel 300, and the guide plate 400 to flow into a water receiving tray (not shown in the figure) provided in the air conditioner indoor unit 1. The water receiving tray is arranged at the lower position inside the casing 20 of the air conditioner indoor unit 1 and is used to collect the condensate generated by various components in the air conditioner indoor unit 1.

[0055] In the air outlet device 10 of the air conditioner indoor unit 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention, an air outlet frame 100, a front panel frame 200, and a middle decorative panel 300 are sequentially arranged in the air supply direction from the air supply opening 21, and at least one guide plate 400 is arranged in the air outlet frame 100 to complete the construction of the overall framework. In the present invention, a condensate drainage structure is particularly provided on the air outlet device 10, which can be used to guide the condensate generated on the surfaces of the air outlet frame 100, the front panel frame 200, the middle decorative panel 300, and the guide plate 400 to flow into the water receiving tray provided in the air conditioner indoor unit 1, thereby realizing the drainage of condensate at multiple positions, expanding the drainage area, improving the drainage efficiency, avoiding potential safety hazards caused by the accumulation of condensate, and improving the use safety of the air conditioner indoor unit 1.

[0056] Figure 3 is Figure 2 A partial enlarged view of part A of the air outlet device shown. Figure 4 A schematic structural diagram of an air outlet device according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 5 is Figure 4 A partial enlarged view of part B of the air outlet device shown. As Figure 3 As shown, the condensate drainage structure of the embodiment of the present invention may include a drainage groove 510, a diversion structure 520, and a slope water channel 530.

[0057] As Figure 3 shown, the drainage groove 510 is recessed inward from the surface of the front panel frame 200 to form a groove that can collect condensate and guide the condensate to flow along the bottom of the groove. As Figure 5 shown, the diversion structure 520 is arranged between the front panel frame 200 and the air outlet frame 100 and is used to guide the flow direction of the condensate. As Figures 3 to 5 shown, the slope water channel 530 is arranged at the lower parts of the front panel frame 200 and the air outlet frame 100 and is used to guide the condensate to flow obliquely downward until it falls into the water receiving tray. In addition, in this embodiment, the condensate generated on the surfaces of the air outlet frame 100, the front panel frame 200, the middle decorative panel 300, and the guide plate 400 is respectively drained into the water receiving tray through at least one of the drainage groove 510, the diversion structure 520, and the slope water channel 530.

[0058] In the air outlet device 10 of the embodiment of the present utility model, the condensate drainage structure includes a drainage groove 510, a diversion structure 520, and a sloped water channel 530. The drainage groove 510 is recessed inward from the surface of the front panel frame 200. The diversion structure 520 is disposed between the front panel frame 200 and the air outlet frame 100. The sloped water channel 530 is disposed at the lower part of the front panel frame 200 and the air outlet frame 100. The condensate generated on the surfaces of the air outlet frame 100, the front panel frame 200, the middle decorative panel 300, and the guide plate 400 is respectively drained into the water receiving tray through at least one of the drainage groove 510, the diversion structure 520, and the sloped water channel 530. Thus, the condensate at multiple positions can flow into the water receiving tray provided in the air conditioner indoor unit 1 through a path composed of at least one of the drainage groove 510, the diversion structure 520, and the sloped water channel 530, restricting the free flow of the condensate, thereby improving the flow efficiency of the condensate, and further improving the drainage efficiency.

[0059] In some embodiments, in the structural areas on both outer sides of the front panel frame 200, the cold air blown out from the inside thereof meets the outside hot air here, and it is easy to condense into water and flow down. Therefore, as Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, the front panel frame 200 forms a first condensate formation surface 610 on the outer surface 210 far from the air outlet frame 100 on both lateral sides.

[0060] In the present utility model, as Figure 3 shown, the drainage groove 510 may include at least two first grooves 511 recessed inward from the first condensate formation surface 610. Specifically, the first groove 511 extends obliquely downward from the first condensate formation surface 610 toward the inner surface 220 of the front panel frame 200 near the air outlet frame 100 on both lateral sides. Specifically, a plurality of first grooves 511 may be arranged at equal intervals on one first condensate formation surface 610 to effectively intercept and collect the condensed water flowing down from the first condensate formation surface 610. Thus, the condensate formed on the first condensate formation surface 610 can be gathered into the first groove 511 and flow obliquely downward along the first groove 511, realizing the drainage of the condensate formed on the first condensate formation surface 610.

[0061] As Figure 5 shown, the diversion structure 520 may include a first diversion wall 521 protruding from the inner surface 220 of the front panel frame 200. Specifically, the first diversion wall 521 is disposed below the first groove 511 and extends obliquely downward from the outside to the inside, for receiving the condensed water flowing down from the first groove 511 and guiding the condensed water to continue flowing downward along the inner surface 220 of the air outlet frame 100. Thus, the condensate flowing downward in the first groove 511 can enter the first diversion wall 521 and continue to flow obliquely downward along the first diversion wall 521.

[0062] In addition, as Figure 5 shown, the ramp water channel 530 may include a first water channel 531 disposed at a position near the first diversion wall 521 at the lower part of the air outlet frame 100. The first water channel 531 is disposed below the first diversion wall 521 and extends obliquely downward from outside to inside.

[0063] Thus, the condensed water formed on the first condensed water forming surface 610 can be drained to the water receiving tray through the first groove 511, the first diversion wall 521, and the first water channel 531. That is to say, the condensed water formed on the first condensed water forming surface 610 is drained through the first groove 511, the first diversion wall 521, and the first water channel 531 in sequence until it falls into the water receiving tray, thereby realizing the drainage and collection of the condensed water formed on the outer surfaces 210 on both lateral sides of the front panel frame 200 far away from the air outlet frame 100.

[0064] For the air outlet device 10 of the embodiment of the present utility model, by providing the first groove 511, the first diversion wall 521, and the first water channel 531 that extend obliquely downward, the flow rate of the condensed water is increased, thereby improving the collection efficiency of the condensed water formed on the outer surfaces 210 on both lateral sides of the front panel frame 200 far away from the air outlet frame 100.

[0065] In some embodiments, as Figure 5 shown, the diversion structure 520 further includes a second diversion wall 522 protruding from the inner surface 220 of the front panel frame 200. The second diversion wall 522 is disposed below the first diversion wall 521 and is used to change the flow direction of the condensed water flowing down from the first diversion wall 521 and guide the condensed water to flow downward to the first water channel 531.

[0066] Specifically, as Figure 5 shown, the second diversion wall 522 may be in an L shape, and its opening faces the first diversion wall 521 to guide the condensed water flowing down from the first diversion wall 521 to flow along the second diversion wall 522 in a direction away from the front panel frame 200, thereby guiding the condensed water to flow downward to the first water channel 531.

[0067] For the air outlet device 10 of the embodiment of the present utility model, by providing the second diversion wall 522 that guides the condensed water flowing down from the first diversion wall 521 to flow along the second diversion wall 522 in a direction away from the front panel frame 200, it is avoided that the condensed water continues to flow downward along the gap between the front panel frame 200 and the air outlet frame 100, and it is realized that the condensed water flowing down from the first diversion wall 521 is completely flowed into the first water channel 531 as much as possible, thereby improving the collection efficiency of the condensed water and at the same time improving the use safety of the air conditioner indoor unit 1.

[0068] In some embodiments, since the cold air flow after heat exchange can flow inside the air outlet frame 100, the temperature of the outer wall 110 of the air outlet frame 100 is relatively low. In the two structural areas on both sides inside the front panel frame 200, that is, the two structural areas on the outer sides of the air outlet frame 100, the air flow therein encounters the relatively low-temperature outer wall 110 and is likely to condense into water and flow down. Thus, as Figure 2 shown, the air outlet frame 100 forms a second condensed water formation surface 620 on the outer wall 110 near the front panel frame 200 on both transverse sides.

[0069] In the present utility model, as Figure 2 shown, the drainage groove 510 includes a second groove 512 formed by being recessed inward from the second condensed water formation surface 620. The second groove 512 extends obliquely downward from the side of the first condensed water formation surface 610 close to the middle decorative panel 300 to the side away from the middle decorative panel 300. Thus, the condensed water formed on the second condensed water formation surface 620 can be collected in the second groove 512 and flow obliquely downward along the second groove 512, realizing the drainage of the condensed water formed on the second condensed water formation surface 620.

[0070] As Figure 5 shown, the slope water channel 530 includes a second water channel 532 disposed at a position near the second groove 512 in the lower part of the air outlet frame 100. The second water channel 532 is disposed below the second groove 512 and extends obliquely downward. Thus, the condensed water formed on the second condensed water formation surface 620 is drained to the water receiving tray through the second groove 512 and the second water channel 532. That is to say, the condensed water formed on the second condensed water formation surface 620 can be drained through the second groove 512 and the second water channel 532 in sequence until it falls into the water receiving tray, thereby realizing the drainage and collection of the condensed water formed on the outer wall 110 of the air outlet frame 100.

[0071] The air outlet device 10 according to the embodiment of the present utility model improves the flow rate of the condensed water by providing the second groove 512 and the second water channel 532 that extend obliquely downward, thereby improving the collection efficiency of the condensed water formed on the outer wall 110 of the air outlet frame 100 near the front panel frame 200 on both transverse sides.

[0072] In some embodiments, as Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown, both the first water channel 531 and the second water channel 532 extend obliquely downward from both transverse sides of the air outlet frame 100 to the middle of the air outlet frame 100 to guide the condensed water to converge towards the middle of the air outlet frame 100. Thus, the condensed water formed on the air outlet frame 100 and the front panel frame 200 and drained into the interior of the air conditioner indoor unit 1 can be collected in the middle of the air outlet frame 100, avoiding the free flow of the condensed water and ensuring that the condensed water completely falls into the water receiving tray.

[0073] In some embodiments, in the structural areas on the front two sides of the middle decorative panel 300, the cold air blown out inside meets the hot air outside here, and it is easy to condense into water and flow down. Thus, as Figure 1 shown, on the transverse two sides of the outer side surface 310 of the middle decorative panel 300 away from the front panel frame 200, a third condensed water formation surface 630 is formed.

[0074] In this embodiment, the bottom of the middle decorative panel 300 is spaced from the lower top surface 230 of the front panel frame 200 to allow the condensed water formed and flowing down from the third condensed water formation surface 630 to flow to the lower top surface 230 of the front panel frame 200 and flow inward along the lower top surface 230 of the front panel frame 200.

[0075] As Figure 3 shown, the drainage groove 510 includes at least two third grooves 513 recessed inward from the lower top surface 230 of the front panel frame 200. The third grooves 513 are arranged below the third condensed water formation surface 630 and extend obliquely downward from the side of the lower top surface 230 away from the air outlet frame 100 to the side of the lower top surface 230 close to the air outlet frame 100. That is to say, the third grooves 513 are used to guide the condensed water formed and flowing down from the third condensed water formation surface 630 to flow along the lower top surface 230 of the front panel frame 200 towards the air outlet frame 100, realizing the drainage of the condensed water formed on the third condensed water formation surface 630.

[0076] Figure 6 is Figure 4 a partial enlarged view of part C of the air outlet device shown. As Figure 6 shown, the ramp water channel 530 includes a third water channel 533 arranged at a position near the third groove 513 at the lower part of the air outlet frame 100. The third water channel 533 is arranged below the third groove 513 and extends obliquely downward from outside to inside. In addition, at least one drainage hole 120 is opened at the bottom of the air outlet frame 100 adjacent to the middle decorative panel 300, which is used to connect the third groove 513 and the third water channel 533 at the position of the air outlet frame 100 adjacent to the middle decorative panel 300, so as to ensure that the condensed water in each third groove 513 can flow into the third water channel 533.

[0077] Thus, the condensed water formed on the third condensed water formation surface 630 can be drained to the water receiving tray through the third groove 513 and the third water channel 533. That is to say, the condensed water formed on the third condensed water formation surface 630 is drained through the third groove 513 and the third water channel 533 in sequence until it falls into the water receiving tray, thereby realizing the drainage and collection of the condensed water formed on the transverse two sides of the outer side surface 310 of the middle decorative panel 300.

[0078] In the air outlet device 10 according to the embodiment of the present utility model, by providing the third groove 513 and the third water channel 533 that extend obliquely downward, the flow rate of the condensed water is increased, thereby improving the collection efficiency of the condensed water formed on the lateral sides of the outer side surface 310 of the middle decorative panel 300.

[0079] In some embodiments, when the guide plate 400 is rotated to a certain angle, a return air phenomenon will occur between the outer plate 410 and the inner lining plate 420 thereof. The hot air in the return air intersects with the blown cold air, and it is easy to condense into water and flow down in the structural area of the guide plate 400. Thus, the guide plate 400 has a fourth condensed water forming surface 640.

[0080] As Figure 3 and Figure 6 shown, the slope water channel 530 may include a fourth water channel 534 provided at a position near the guide plate 400 at the lower part of the front panel frame 200. The fourth water channel 534 is located below the fourth condensed water forming surface 640. As Figure 6 shown, the slope water channel 530 may further include a fifth water channel 535 provided at a position near the guide plate 400 at the lower part of the air outlet frame 100. The fifth water channel 535 is provided below the fourth water channel 534 and extends obliquely downward from the outside to the inside.

[0081] Thus, the condensed water formed on the fourth condensed water forming surface 640 can be drained to the water receiving tray through the fourth water channel 534 and the fifth water channel 535. That is to say, the condensed water formed on the fourth condensed water forming surface 640 is drained through the fourth water channel 534 and the fifth water channel 535 in sequence until it reaches the water receiving tray, thereby realizing the drainage and collection of the condensed water formed on the guide plate 400.

[0082] In the air outlet device 10 according to the embodiment of the present utility model, by respectively providing the fourth water channel 534 and the fifth water channel 535 that extend obliquely downward on the front panel frame 200 and the air outlet frame 100 below the guide plate 400, the flow rate of the condensed water is increased, thereby improving the collection efficiency of the condensed water formed on the guide plate 400.

[0083] In some specific embodiments, the third water channel 533 and the fourth water channel 534 may be connected side by side. Specifically, the third water channel 533 and the fourth water channel 534 may be located on the same inclined plane.

[0084] In some embodiments, as Figure 4As shown, the first waterway 531, the second waterway 532, the third waterway 533, the fourth waterway 534, and the fifth waterway 535 all extend obliquely downward, and guide the condensed water generated on each component in the air outlet device 10 to converge towards the middle inside of the air outlet frame 100. Thus, the condensed water formed on the air outlet device 10 and drained into the air conditioner indoor unit 1 can converge to the middle of the air outlet frame 100, avoiding the free flow of the condensed water and ensuring that the condensed water completely falls into the water receiving tray.

[0085] In addition, the present utility model also provides an air conditioner 2. Figure 7 It is a schematic structural block diagram of an air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present utility model. As Figure 7 shown, the air conditioner 2 generally may include the air conditioner indoor unit 1 of any of the above embodiments.

[0086] In the air conditioner of the embodiment of the present utility model, by arranging the air outlet device 10 at the air outlet 21 of the air conditioner indoor unit 1, the air outlet device 10 is sequentially provided with an air outlet frame 100, a front panel frame 200, and a middle decorative panel 300 along the air supply direction from the air outlet 21, and at least one guide plate 400 is arranged in the air outlet frame 100, thus completing the construction of the overall air outlet frame 100. In the present utility model, a condensed water drainage structure is particularly arranged on the air outlet device 10, which can be used to guide the condensed water generated on the surfaces of the air outlet frame 100, the front panel frame 200, the middle decorative panel 300, and the guide plate 400 to flow into the water receiving tray arranged in the air conditioner indoor unit 1, thereby realizing the drainage of condensed water at multiple positions, expanding the drainage area, improving the drainage efficiency, avoiding potential safety hazards caused by the accumulation of condensed water, and improving the use safety of the air conditioner.

[0087] Furthermore, in the air conditioner of the embodiment of the present utility model, the condensed water drainage structure on the air outlet device 10 includes a drainage groove 510, a diversion structure 520, and a ramp waterway 530. The drainage groove 510 is recessed inward from the surface of the front panel frame 200, the diversion structure 520 is arranged between the front panel frame 200 and the air outlet frame 100, and the ramp waterway 530 is arranged at the lower part of the front panel frame 200 and the air outlet frame 100. The condensed water generated on the surfaces of the air outlet frame 100, the front panel frame 200, the middle decorative panel 300, and the guide plate 400 is respectively drained into the water receiving tray through at least one of the drainage groove 510, the diversion structure 520, and the ramp waterway 530. Thus, the condensed water at multiple positions can flow into the water receiving tray arranged in the air conditioner indoor unit 1 through a path composed of at least one of the drainage groove 510, the diversion structure 520, and the ramp waterway 530, restricting the free flow of the condensed water, further improving the flow efficiency of the condensed water, and thus further improving the drainage efficiency.
