[0037] With the development of society and the improvement of people's living standards, people have higher and higher requirements for the quality of the environment in the kitchen, so the role of kitchen air conditioners in improving people's quality of life is also getting bigger and bigger. However, most kitchen air conditioners on the market have a single air outlet direction and cannot sweep air at multiple angles. Some corners in the kitchen cannot be blown by cold air. Such a single air outlet method cannot achieve a good effect on improving the environment in the kitchen. Moreover, the air vents of the kitchen air conditioner are exposed in the kitchen space and are easily polluted by oil smoke, water vapor, etc. When the kitchen air conditioner is in the shutdown state, its air vents are always in the open state, and oil smoke and water vapor will also enter the kitchen air conditioner, causing the kitchen air conditioner to be dirty or even short-circuited, seriously affecting the user experience of the kitchen air conditioner. To this end, the present application provides a method such as Figures 1 to 11The air supply assembly shown includes: a shell 1, which is provided with an opening 11; an air outlet structure 2, which is movably provided on the shell 1, and the air outlet structure 2 has a first state in which the air outlet structure 2 protrudes from the shell 1 through the opening 11, and the air outlet structure 2 also has a second state in which it is retracted into the shell 1; the air outlet structure 2 has a panel 21 and a side panel 22 adjacent to the panel 21, and an air outlet 23 is provided on the side panel 22, and when the air outlet structure 2 is in the first state, the air outlet 23 protrudes from the opening 11, and when the air outlet structure 2 is in the second state, the panel 21 closes the opening 11. The air outlet structure 2 is raised and lowered on the shell 1, and the opening 11 protrudes from the shell 1 when air supply is needed. When the shell 1 is set inside the ceiling, the air outlet structure 2 can protrude from the ceiling and supply air from the side of the air outlet structure 2, ensuring that the air supply component can supply air reliably. When air supply is not needed, the air outlet structure 2 can be stored in the shell 1, thereby closing the air outlet 23 on the air outlet structure 2, which can prevent oil smoke, water vapor, etc. from entering the air outlet structure 2 and the air-conditioning unit. Moreover, the panel 21 of the air outlet structure 2 can close the opening 11 of the shell 1. When the shell 1 is set inside the ceiling, the panel 21 can close the opening on the ceiling for the air outlet structure 2 to extend or retract, avoiding the problem in the prior art that the air outlet 23 is always open and oil smoke and water vapor enter the air-conditioning unit through the air outlet 23 when the air-conditioning unit is shut down, reducing the difficulty and frequency of cleaning the air supply component and the air-conditioning unit, and improving the aesthetics of the kitchen and the user experience.

[0038] During use, the housing 1 is placed inside a ceiling or suspended ceiling, and an opening corresponding to the opening 11 is provided on the ceiling or suspended ceiling. The air outlet structure 2 can extend into the room through the opening 11 and the opening to deliver air. To prevent the panel 21 from affecting the air supply, air is delivered from the side of the air outlet structure 2, ensuring air supply reliability and improving the direction of air supply. When air supply is not needed, the air outlet structure 2 can be stored within the housing 1 and stored inside the ceiling or suspended ceiling, and the panel 21 of the air outlet structure 2 closes the opening 11. At this time, the panel 21 and the ceiling or suspended ceiling become one, improving the aesthetics.

[0039] Specifically, the air supply assembly also includes a lifting mechanism, which is arranged on the shell 1, and the air outlet structure 2 is connected to the lifting mechanism, and the lifting mechanism can drive the air outlet structure 2 to switch between the first state and the second state. Since the shell 1 is set at a position such as the ceiling or suspended ceiling, the air supply assembly is located at the top of the room at this time. The lifting mechanism is used to drive the air outlet structure 2 to rise and fall, so as to achieve the purpose of whether the air outlet structure 2 extends into the indoor space.

[0040] The lifting mechanism includes a first driving member 31 and a first screw rod 32. The first driving member 31 is provided on the housing 1. The first screw rod 32 is rotatably connected to the first driving member 31. The air outlet structure 2 is provided with a first threaded structure. The first threaded structure is threadedly engaged with the first screw rod 32. The first driving member 31 drives the first screw rod 32 to rotate. The threaded engagement of the first threaded structure and the first screw rod 32 enables the first threaded structure to move along the axis of the first screw rod 32. Therefore, by setting the axis of the first screw rod 32 to be parallel to the vertical direction, the lifting and lowering of the air outlet structure 2 can be achieved. The diagonal arrangement of the first screw rod makes the lifting process smoother, and the more precise force transmission characteristic of the screw rod makes the lifting and lowering process of the air outlet structure 2 smoother. Among them, the first driving member 31 is a motor, and the motor can rotate forward or reverse, thereby realizing the clockwise and counterclockwise rotation of the first screw rod 32, which can drive the lifting and lowering of the air outlet structure 2.

[0041] In order to further increase the air supply direction adjustment of the air supply component, the air supply component also includes an air guide plate 4, which is rotatably arranged at the air outlet 23, and the air guide plate 4 has an air guiding state of protruding from the plane where the air outlet 23 is located to guide the air and a storage state stored in the plane where the air outlet 23 is located. The airflow of the air outlet 23 is guided by the air guide plate 4, and air supply at different angles is achieved by adjusting the inclination angle of the air guide plate 4. In order to avoid the air guide plate 4 affecting the lifting and lowering of the air outlet structure 2, the air guide plate 4 can be switched to the storage state without protruding from the range where the air outlet structure 2 is located, so that the air outlet structure 2 can reliably pass through the opening 11, thereby ensuring the working reliability of the air supply component.

[0042] The air supply assembly further includes an air guide drive mechanism, which is disposed on the air outlet structure 2 and to which the air guide plate 4 is connected. The air guide drive mechanism drives the air guide plate 4 to rotate, thereby achieving the purpose of guiding and adjusting the airflow direction.

[0043] Specifically, the air guide drive mechanism includes a second screw rod 51 and a guide block 52. The second screw rod 51 is rotatably arranged on the air outlet structure 2. The guide block 52 is movably arranged on the second screw rod 51, and the guide block 52 can move along the length direction of the second screw rod 51. The air guide plate 4 has a relative first edge 41 and a second edge 42. The first edge 41 is hinged to the air outlet structure 2, and the second edge 42 is movably arranged on the guide block 52. The rotation of the second screw rod 51 can drive the guide block 52 to move along the axis of the second screw rod 51, and the movement of the guide block 52 can drive the second edge 42 of the air guide plate 4 to move. Since the first edge 41 is hinged on the air outlet structure 2, the second edge 42 can only rotate around the first edge 41, and the vertical movement of the second edge 42 driven by the guide block 52 will force the second edge 42 to slide horizontally on the guide block 52, thereby converting the vertical movement of the guide block 52 into the rotation of the air guide plate 4, achieving the purpose of adjusting the inclination angle of the air guide plate 4. When the gas flows through the air guide plate 4, it will flow through the second edge 42 and the first edge 41 in sequence. Figure 2 As shown, the guide block 52 is arranged at the corner of the air outlet structure 2, and a horizontal slide groove is provided on the guide block 52. The end of the second edge 42 of the air guide plate 4 is movably arranged in the horizontal slide groove. The vertical movement of the guide block 52 can force the end of the second edge 42 to slide in the horizontal slide groove. Under the hinge restriction of the first edge 41, the air guide plate 4 can only rotate to achieve the purpose of adjusting the tilt angle.

[0044] Furthermore, the air guide drive mechanism also includes a second drive member, which can drive the second screw rod 51 to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise. The second drive member is a motor, and the motor can rotate forward or reverse.

[0045] The number of the air guide plates 4 is at least two, and all the air guide plates 4 are arranged in parallel at the air outlet 23. The multiple air guide plates 4 are used to achieve layered air flow guidance, thereby improving the air flow guidance effect. When the air guide plates 4 are in the storage state, the adjacent two air guide plates 4 abut against each other, and the air outlet 23 is sealed again by the air guide plates 4, thereby preventing dust in the ceiling or suspended ceiling from entering the air outlet structure 2 or even the air conditioning unit, thereby further ensuring the reliability of the air supply component and the air conditioning unit. Figure 7 As shown, there are five air guide plates 4 at each air outlet 23, and the five air guide plates 4 are connected to the same guide block 52. Five horizontal slide grooves are provided on this guide block 52 to synchronize transmission with the five air guide plates 4, ensuring that all air guide plates 4 rotate synchronously to achieve the effect of consistent opening angles, thereby ensuring the air guiding effect of all air guide plates 4 on the air outlet 23.

[0046] The number of the air outlets 23 is at least two, the air outlet direction of at least one of the air outlets 23 is toward the first direction, and the air outlet direction of at least one of the air outlets 23 is toward the second direction. There is an angle between the first direction and the second direction. Multiple air outlets 23 are used to achieve air supply in different directions, thereby improving the air supply effect of the air supply component. At the same time, the increase in the number of air outlets 23 can increase the air outlet area of ​​the air supply component and improve the heat exchange effect on the room.

[0047] Specifically, the air outlet structure 2 has a first side panel, a second side panel, a third side panel and a fourth side panel, all of which have different orientations. The air outlet 23 is provided on the first side panel, the second side panel, the third side panel and the fourth side panel. At this time, the air outlet structure 2 can discharge air from four directions. During installation, the air supply component can be set at the center of the room. At this time, the air supply component can supply air to the four directions of the room, realizing air supply and heat exchange to all positions in the room, and with the cooperation of the upper and lower air sweeping of the air guide plate 4, three-dimensional air supply can be further performed, thereby improving the comfort of air supply and user experience.

[0048] A guide structure 6 is provided on the surface of the panel 21 facing the interior of the air supply component, and a guide surface corresponding to the air outlet 23 is provided on the guide structure 6. The guide structure 6 is used to guide the airflow flowing to the panel 21, so that the airflow can be blown out through the air outlet on the side panel 22, thereby reducing the noise and flow resistance generated by the airflow impacting the panel 21 and improving the air supply effect of the air supply component.

[0049] The cross-sectional shape of the guide structure 6 is a triangle, the base of the triangle is located on the panel 21, and the sides of the triangle constitute the guide surface of the guide structure 6. Figure 10 As shown, air outlets 23 are provided on the four side panels 22 of the air outlet structure 2. At this time, the guide structure 6 is located at the center of the panel 21, and four guide surfaces are formed on the guide structure 6. The four guide surfaces form a pointed shape at the center of the guide structure 6. When the airflow blows toward the panel 21, it will be diverted by the pointed shape, and then flow along each guide surface to the corresponding air outlet 23, thereby ensuring the air supply effect of the air supply component.

[0050] An air conditioning unit includes the above-mentioned air supply assembly, wherein there may be multiple air supply assemblies, and the indoor units of the air conditioning unit are simultaneously connected to the housings 1 of all the air supply assemblies through air ducts to achieve the purpose of large-space air supply.

[0051] The above-described embodiments merely represent several implementation methods of the present invention. While the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention. It should be noted that a person skilled in the art would be able to make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of the present invention, and these modifications and improvements fall within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention shall be determined by the appended claims.
