Specific embodiments
[0026] The following will describe in detail the specific embodiments of the present disclosure with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only for the purpose of illustration and explanation of the present disclosure, and are not used to limit the present disclosure.
[0027] In the present disclosure, unless otherwise stated, the orientation terms such as "upper, lower" are defined based on the gravity direction of the air outlet structure or the indoor unit. Specifically, the up - down direction can refer to the Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 drawing directions of
[0028] wherein, the upper corresponds to the top, and the lower corresponds to the bottom. "Inner, outer" refer to the inside and outside of the contour of each component itself. The terms "first, second" are used to distinguish one element from another, and do not have sequentiality and importance. In addition, when the following description refers to the accompanying drawings, the same reference numerals in different drawings represent the same or similar elements, and the present disclosure will not repeat them here.
[0028] According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, an air outlet structure is provided. As shown in Figures 1 to 4 and Figure 6 , the air outlet structure includes a shunt bracket 1 and a shunt cone 2. An air outlet channel 10 is formed between the shunt bracket 1 and the shunt cone 2. At least one water diversion rib 3 is provided on the side of the shunt bracket 1 facing away from the air outlet channel 10. The water diversion rib 3 is used to guide the condensed water flowing through itself to flow downward. A water receiving tray 100 is provided at the bottom of the shunt bracket 1.
[0029] Through the above - mentioned technical solution, in the air outlet structure provided by the present disclosure, by providing at least one water diversion rib 3, the condensed water formed on the side of the shunt bracket 1 facing away from the air outlet channel 10 can flow downward under the guidance of the water diversion rib 3. In this way, the condensed water can drip onto the water receiving tray 100 at the bottom of the shunt bracket 1. Thus, the air outlet structure of the present disclosure can drain the condensed water generated on the side of the shunt bracket 1 facing away from the air outlet channel 10 into the water receiving tray 100.
[0030] It should be noted that the present disclosure does not limit the structure of the water diversion rib 3, and the water diversion rib 3 can guide the condensed water to flow downward. In addition, the present disclosure does not limit the specific number of the water diversion rib 3, and the present disclosure can be adaptively designed according to needs.
[0031] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, as shown in Figures 1 to 7 , the flow splitting bracket 1 may include side plates 11. The side plates 11 and the flow splitting cone 2 define an air outlet 20 communicating with the air outlet passage 10. The water diversion rib 3 is connected to the side plates 11 and may gradually incline downward in a direction away from the air outlet 20. Here, since the side plates 11 are used to define the air outlet 20, therefore, on the side of the side plates 11 facing away from the air outlet passage 10, cold and heat convection is likely to occur, and thus condensed water is formed. The present disclosure connects the water diversion rib 3 to the side plates 11, so that the condensed water formed on the side plates 11 can flow to the water diversion rib 3. At this time, since the water diversion rib 3 gradually inclines downward in a direction away from the air outlet 20, in this way, the water diversion rib 3 can guide the condensed water to flow downward, and further, the condensed water droplets formed on the side plates 11 can be dripped into the water receiving tray 100.
[0032] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, as shown in Figures 1 to 7 , the flow splitting bracket 1 includes a main body plate 12 connected to the side plates 11. The main body plate 12 is disposed at an angle with the side plates 11. The water diversion rib 3 may be connected to the main body plate 12 through the bending portion 13 of the main body plate 12 and the side plates 11. Here, condensed water is likely to converge at the bending portion 13. Therefore, connecting the water diversion rib 3 to the bending portion 13 can guide the condensed water at the bending portion 13 to flow downward, and the water diversion rib 3 is also connected to the main body plate 12. In this way, the water diversion rib 3 can also guide the condensed water on the main body plate 12 to flow downward. Here, the condensed water on the side plates 11, the condensed water at the bending portion 13, and the condensed water on the main body plate 12 can converge on the water diversion rib 3 and flow downward centrally. In this way, the guiding effect on the condensed water can be improved, and the condensed water is easily concentrated and dripped into the water receiving tray 100.
[0033] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, the condensate guiding rib 3 may include a first condensate guiding sub-rib 31 connected to the main body plate 12 and a second condensate guiding sub-rib 32 connected to the side plate 11. The condensate guiding rib 3 may further include a water-blocking rib 33. The water-blocking rib 33 is connected between the first condensate guiding sub-rib 31 and the second condensate guiding sub-rib 32 and is disposed on the side of the first condensate guiding sub-rib 31 and the second condensate guiding sub-rib 32 away from the flow splitting bracket 1. Here, since dew condensation is likely to accumulate at the bending portion 13, the flow rate of the dew condensation at the bending portion 13 may be relatively large. In the present disclosure, by providing the water-blocking rib 33 and connecting the water-blocking rib 33 between the first condensate guiding sub-rib 31 and the second condensate guiding sub-rib 32, the water-blocking rib 33 can prevent the dew condensation at the bending portion 13 from overflowing from the condensate guiding rib 3, thereby improving the guiding effect of the condensate guiding rib 3 on the dew condensation. Here, both the first condensate guiding sub-rib 31 and the second condensate guiding sub-rib 32 may gradually incline downward in a direction away from the air outlet 20.
[0034] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, with reference to Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 6 as shown, the flow splitting bracket 1 may be provided with a drainage plate 4. The drainage plate 4 is disposed below the condensate guiding rib 3. In this way, the dew condensation flowing downward from the condensate guiding rib 3 can flow onto the drainage plate 4. Here, the drainage plate 4 may gradually incline downward in a direction away from the flow splitting bracket 1. In this way, the drainage plate 4 can guide the dew condensation to continue to move downward, so that the dew condensation can drip into the water receiving tray 100.
[0035] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, a vertical plate 5 may be provided on the drainage plate 4. The vertical plate 5 has an inner wall surface 51 and an outer wall surface 52 extending in the vertical direction. The inner wall surface 51 is connected to one condensate guiding rib 3. Here, the dew condensation flowing downward through the condensate guiding rib 3 can flow downward through the inner wall surface 51, and then the dew condensation can flow onto the drainage plate 4. On the one hand, the gap between the condensate guiding rib 3 and the drainage plate 4 can be absorbed, and on the other hand, the inner wall surface 51 can be used to enable the dew condensation to smoothly flow onto the drainage plate 4.
[0036] In some embodiments, with reference to Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figures 5 to 7 as shown, the flow splitting bracket 1 and the flow splitting cone 2 can enclose two air outlet channels 10. That is to say, the air outlet structure of the present disclosure can be configured as an air outlet structure, and the indoor unit including this air outlet structure can be configured as a vertical dual-air outlet indoor unit. Among them, at least two vertically spaced condensate guiding ribs 3 may be connected between each side plate 11 and the corresponding main body plate 12. Here, by providing at least two condensate guiding ribs 3, it is possible to prevent the flow rate of the dew condensation on any one condensate guiding rib 3 from being too large. That is, providing at least two condensate guiding ribs 3 can play a role in flow splitting. Here, the lowermost condensate guiding rib 3 may be connected to the corresponding inner wall surface 51.
[0037] In some embodiments, with reference to Figure 7 as shown in [[0000105]], an arcuate surface 34 is formed at the bottom of the bottommost water diversion rib 3, and the arcuate surface 34 can be connected to the inner wall surface 51. In this way, the provision of the arcuate surface 34 can facilitate the smooth flow of condensed water onto the inner wall surface 51, or the condensed water on the arcuate surface 34 can directly drip onto the drainage plate 4.
[0038] According to a second aspect of the present disclosure, there is provided an indoor unit, including a water receiving tray 100 and the air outlet structure as described above, and the water receiving tray 100 is disposed at the bottom of the flow splitting bracket 1. Among them, the water diversion rib 3 can guide the condensed water formed on the side of the flow splitting bracket 1 away from the air outlet passage 10 to flow downward, and then these condensed waters can drip into the water receiving tray 100. The indoor unit has all the beneficial effects of the above air outlet structure, and the present disclosure will not elaborate herein. In some embodiments, the indoor unit can be configured as a vertical dual-air outlet indoor unit.
[0039] According to a third aspect of the present disclosure, there is provided an air conditioner, including the indoor unit as described above. The air conditioner has all the beneficial effects of the above indoor unit, and the present disclosure will not elaborate herein either.
[0040] The preferred embodiments of the present disclosure have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present disclosure is not limited to the specific details in the above embodiments. Within the scope of the technical concept of the present disclosure, various simple modifications can be made to the technical solutions of the present disclosure, and these simple modifications all fall within the protection scope of the present disclosure.
[0041] In addition, it should be noted that, in the case of no conflict, the various specific technical features described in the above specific embodiments can be combined in any suitable manner. To avoid unnecessary repetition, the present disclosure will not separately describe various possible combination manners.
[0042] Furthermore, any combination can be made between various different embodiments of the present disclosure, as long as it does not violate the idea of the present disclosure, and it should also be regarded as the content disclosed by the present disclosure.
