Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of air conditioning, and in particular relates to an air inlet grille and an air conditioner. Background Art

[0002] The indoor unit of an existing air conditioner generally includes a panel and an air inlet and an air outlet located on the panel. In order to prevent foreign objects from entering and to protect the user, an air inlet grille is generally provided on the air inlet.

[0003] The indoor unit of a cabinet air conditioner is usually placed in the corner of the room near the window, close to the curtains. When the air conditioner is running, the curtains will be adsorbed onto the air inlet grille along with the air intake of the air conditioner, thereby blocking the air inlet, affecting the air intake, and thus affecting the operation effect of the air conditioner.

[0004] Conventional technology typically uses a curtain bracket mounted on the indoor unit to separate the curtains. The curtain bracket and the air inlet grille are typically separate components. When in use, the curtain bracket is clipped onto the air inlet grille. The curtain bracket protrudes from the outside of the air inlet grille to block the curtain from the bracket, preventing it from blocking the air inlet. When not in use, the curtain bracket needs to be manually removed and stored, which can easily lead to damage or loss. Utility Model Content

[0047] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0048] An embodiment of the present application provides an air inlet grille and an air conditioner to solve the problem that existing air conditioners usually have curtain brackets mounted on the outside of the air inlet grille to prevent the curtains from adsorption, and the curtain brackets are easily damaged or lost when stored separately. This will be explained in conjunction with the accompanying drawings below.

[0049] The air intake grille provided in the embodiments of the present application is applied to an air conditioner and includes a grille body 1, a connecting rod assembly 2, and a baffle 3. The grille body 1 has a receiving opening 11. The connecting rod assembly 2 includes a first rod 21 and a second rod 22 that are rotatably connected. The first rod 21 is rotatably connected to the grille body 1. The baffle 3 is rotatably connected to one end of the second rod 22. The angle between the first rod 21 and the second rod 22 is adjustable, allowing the baffle 3 to be stored in the receiving opening 11 or extended outside the grille body 1.

[0050] The air inlet grille provided in the embodiment of the present application is movably connected to the grille body 1 by the connecting rod assembly 2. When the air conditioner needs to use the baffle 3, the baffle 3 can be pulled to disengage the baffle 3 from the storage opening 11 of the grille body 1. At this time, the second rod 22 is pulled by the baffle 3 and then rotates around the first rod 21, so that the second rod 22 and the first rod 21 are relatively opened, and then further drives one end of the first rod 21 to rotate in the direction away from the grille body 1 until the baffle 3 is extended to the preset position; when the baffle 3 is not needed, the baffle 3 can be pushed toward the storage opening 11. At this time, the second rod 22 is pressed by the baffle 3 and then rotates around the first rod 21, so that the second rod 22 and the first rod 21 are relatively contracted, and then further drives one end of the first rod 21 to rotate in the direction close to the grille body 1 until the baffle 3 is stored in the storage opening 11.

[0051] That is, the connecting rod assembly 2 provides a supporting structure for the baffle 3, so that the baffle 3 can be extended to the outside of the grille body 1 to play the effect of blocking the curtain. At the same time, it can also meet the storage effect of the baffle 3 in the storage opening 11 of the grille body 1, realizing the integrated design of the baffle 3 and the grille body 1, and avoiding the situation where the baffle 3 is lost or damaged due to the separate storage of the baffle 3.

[0052] Since the baffle 3 is rotatably connected to the second rod 22, the relative angle between the baffle 3 and the second rod 22 can be adjusted, and the state of the baffle 3 can be adjusted as needed. For example, the baffle 3 can be rotated around the second rod 22 to adjust the inclination angle of the baffle 3, so that the inclination of the baffle 3 is more consistent with the orientation of the curtain, thereby achieving a better anti-absorption effect for the curtain. For example, if the curtain is located on the side of the storage opening 11 of the grille body 1, the baffle 3 can be pulled to the outside of the grille body 1, and then the baffle 3 can be rotated relative to the second rod 22 so that the baffle 3 can be opposite to the curtain, thereby achieving a better anti-absorption effect for the curtain. This prevents the curtain from being located between the baffle 3 and the grille body 1, which would weaken the anti-absorption effect of the baffle 3. Moreover, the operation is relatively simple, as only the baffle 3 needs to be rotated without rotating the entire air conditioner.

[0053] Optionally, the connecting rod assembly 2 further includes a stopper 23, which is used to limit the rotation of the first rod 21 and the second rod 22 when the baffle 3 is extended a predetermined distance outside the grille body 1. Specifically, the stopper 23 ensures that when the baffle 3 is extended and in place, the first rod 21 and the second rod 22 are relatively fixed and support the baffle 3, preventing the baffle 3 from shaking or shifting due to disturbances caused by the curtain or other external forces.

[0054] Optionally, the first rod 21 is provided with a bent section 211, the second rod 22 is rotatably connected to the bent section 211, a through-hole 213 is provided in the first rod 21, and the other end of the second rod 22 is rotatably connected to the baffle 3 through the through-hole 213; the limiting member 23 includes a first magnetic member 231 and a second magnetic member 232, the first magnetic member 231 is provided on the bent section 211, and the second magnetic member 232 is correspondingly provided on the second rod 22. When the connecting rod assembly 2 is unfolded, the first rod 21 and the second rod 22 overlap at the bent section 211 and are fixed by the first magnetic member 2321 and the second magnetic member 232. In some examples, the first magnetic member 231 and the second magnetic member 232 can both be magnets and are bonded to the first rod 21 and the second rod 22, respectively.

[0055] As an alternative embodiment, a bent section 211 may also be provided on the end of the second rod 22 close to the first rod 21. In this case, the first rod 21 may not include the bent section 211, that is, the first rod 21 and the second rod 22 are rotatably connected via the bent section of the second rod 22. Alternatively, the first rod 21 may also be provided with a bent section 211, and the first rod 21 and the second rod 22 are rotatably connected via a pair of bent sections 211.

[0056] That is, the first rod 21 and the second rod 22 are connected by the bent section 211, and the end of the second rod 22 away from the first rod 21 passes through the through hole 213 of the first rod 21 and is rotatably connected to the baffle 3, so that when the second rod 22 follows the baffle 3 and rotates relative to the first rod 21, one end of the second rod 22 is always inserted into the through hole 213, and in the direction of gravity, the projection of the second rod 22 on the first rod 21 intersects with the first rod 21, so that when the baffle 3 is pulled toward the outside of the grille body 1, the second rod 22 is driven to move closer to the baffle One end of the plate 3 moves along the through-hole 213 until the second magnetic member 232 on the second rod 22 is aligned with the first magnetic position on the first rod 21 and fixed to each other by attraction. This ensures that when the baffle 3 is extended to the preset position outside the grille body 1, the first and second magnetic members 231, 232 secure the first and second rods 21, 22 to prevent the first and second rods 21, 22 from continuing to rotate due to external forces, thereby changing the position of the baffle 3. This implements a foolproof design during the pulling and retracting of the baffle 3, preventing damage to the connecting rod assembly 2 due to excessive pulling force. Furthermore, because the attraction force between the first and second magnetic members 231, 232 is constant, when the baffle 3 needs to be retracted, only a certain force needs to be applied to the baffle 3 to separate the first and second magnetic members 231, 232, thereby further pushing the connecting rod assembly 2 to retract and retract the baffle 3.

[0057] Among them, the aperture of the through hole 213 on the first rod body 21 can be slightly larger than the rod diameter of the second rod body 22, so that when the second rod body 22 moves in the through hole 213, the second rod body 22 is guided horizontally and limited vertically through the through hole 213, preventing the second rod body 22 from moving up and down during the rotation around the first rod body 21, thereby ensuring the stability of the rotation of the second rod body 22.

[0058] The specific position of the first magnetic component 231 is not further limited here. In some examples, the first rod body 21 includes a hole wall surrounding the through-hole 213, and two hole walls relatively distributed in the vertical direction are relatively recessed with mounting grooves, and the mounting grooves are located on the side of the through-hole 213 away from the grille body 1. The spacing between the mounting grooves and the hole walls on the side of the through-hole 213 is not further limited here. A first magnetic component 231 is provided in each mounting groove. Correspondingly, the second rod body 22 is correspondingly recessed with mounting grooves on the upper and lower surfaces in the vertical direction, and a second magnetic component 232 is provided in each mounting groove.

[0059] Optionally, a mounting rod is provided within the receiving opening 11 of the grille body 1. The mounting rod extends vertically. A first rod 21 has a pivot hole at one end. The first rod 21 is pivotally connected to the mounting rod via the pivot hole and rotates horizontally and around the mounting rod. A connecting rod extending vertically is provided at the other end of the first rod 21. A second rod 22 has a pivot hole at one end. The second rod 22 is pivotally connected to the connecting rod via the pivot hole and rotates horizontally. The other end of the second rod 22 may also have a pivot hole. The side of the baffle 3 facing the second rod 22 may be recessed with a receiving groove. A connecting post extends vertically within the receiving groove. The other end of the second rod 22 is pivotally connected to the connecting post via the pivot hole. Furthermore, the shape of the receiving groove can be conformally matched to the first rod 21. This allows the baffle 3 to rest against the outside of the first rod 21 when stored, thereby reducing the overall thickness of the connecting rod assembly 2 and baffle 3 when stored, achieving a thinner overall air intake grille.

[0060] In some examples, the connecting rod of the first rod body 21 may be one of the components forming the through hole 213 . In other examples, the connecting rod of the first rod body 21 may be disposed on a side of the through hole 213 away from the grille body 1 .

[0061] Optionally, the limiting member 23 further includes a limiting plate 233, which is protruding from an end of the second rod 22 that is close to the first rod 21. When the second rod 22 rotates to the end that is away from the grille body 1 within the through-hole 213, the limiting plate 233 abuts against the first rod 21. The limiting plate 233 extends vertically and can be located above the side of the second rod 22 that is close to the first rod 21, or above the side of the second rod 22 that is away from the first rod 21.

[0062] The limiting plate 233 is provided to assist in limiting the movement of the second rod 22 away from the grille body 1. This prevents the user from applying excessive force after the first magnetic member 231 and the second magnetic member 232 are fixed to each other, causing the first magnetic member 231 and the second magnetic member 232 to separate from each other. This would allow the second rod 22 and the first rod 21 to continue rotating, causing the baffle 3 to move further away from the grille body 1 and weakening the anti-adsorption effect. It is understood that the limiting plate 233 and the second magnetic member 232 are arranged opposite each other in the width direction of the second plate body.

[0063] In some examples, the limiting plates 233 may include a pair, and the pair of limiting plates 233 are oppositely disposed and protruded at the upper end and the lower end of the second rod body 22 .

[0064] Optionally, a limiting protrusion is also provided on one end of the first rod 21 close to the second rod 22 , and the limiting protrusion is protruded into the through hole 213 . When the second rod 22 is rotated into position, it abuts against the limiting protrusion to limit the position.

[0065] Optionally, the grille body 1 is arc-shaped, and the first rod 21 includes a bent section 211 and a curved rod section 212. One end of the curved rod section 212 is rotatably connected to the receiving opening 11, and the other end is connected to the bent section 211. The baffle 3 is arc-shaped and conforms to the curved rod section 212 when the baffle 3 is received in the receiving opening 11. The opening formed by the bent section 211 and the curved rod section 212 faces away from the side of the baffle 3.

[0066] By conforming the baffle 3 to the curved rod section 212 of the first rod body 21, the baffle 3 and the connecting rod assembly 2 have a smaller overall thickness when stored, further reducing the overall thickness of the grille body 1. Furthermore, both the grille body 1 and the baffle 3 can be curved, arching outward from the air conditioner, to enhance the blocking effect of the baffle 3.

[0067] When the first rod body 21 includes a bent section 211 and a curved rod section 212, as a specific embodiment, the second rod body 22 may also include a bent section 211 and a curved rod section 212. The bent section 211 of the second rod body 22 is rotatably connected to the bent section 211 of the first rod body 21. The bent section 211 and the curved rod section 212 of the second rod body 22 are integrally formed. The bent section 211 and the curved rod section 212 of the first rod body 21 are also integrally formed. The curved rod section 212 of the first rod body 21 and the curved rod section 212 of the second rod body 22 can both be oriented An arc that arches outward from the air conditioner, or an arc that arches toward the inside of the air conditioner, or one arc that arches toward the outside of the air conditioner and the other arc that arches toward the inside of the air conditioner; as another specific embodiment, the second rod body 22 only includes a curved rod segment 212, and the two ends of the curved rod segment 212 are respectively rotatably connected to the bent segment 211 of the first rod body 21 and the baffle 3; as another specific embodiment, the second rod body 22 only includes a straight rod segment, and the two ends of the straight rod segment are respectively rotatably connected to the bent segment 211 of the first rod body 21 and the baffle 3.

[0068] As an alternative embodiment, the first rod body 21 may only include a curved rod segment 212. In this case, as a specific embodiment, the second rod body 22 may include a bent segment 211 and a curved rod segment 212. The curved rod segment 212 of the first rod body 21 is rotatably connected to the bent segment 211 of the second rod body 22, and the opening formed by the bent segment 211 and the curved rod segment 212 of the second rod body 22 faces one side of the baffle 3; as another specific embodiment, the second rod body 22 may include a bent segment 211 and a straight rod segment, and the opening formed by the bent segment 211 and the straight rod segment of the second rod body 22 faces one side of the baffle 3.

[0069] Of course, the grille body 1 , the first rod body 21 , the second rod body 22 and the baffle 3 may also all be configured as flat plates, which will not be further described here.

[0070] Optionally, a slot 2121 is recessed on the side of the curved rod section 212 of the first rod body 21 facing the baffle 3. A corresponding insertion portion 31 is provided on the baffle 3. When the baffle 3 is stored in the storage opening 11, the insertion portion 31 is inserted into the slot 2121. The baffle 3 is inserted into the slot 2121 of the curved rod section 212 of the first rod body 21 via the insertion portion 31, thereby increasing the connection strength between the baffle 3 and the first rod body 21 and further enhancing the stability of the baffle 3 in the stored state. The shapes of the insertion portion 31 and the slot 2121 are not further specified herein.

[0071] Optionally, a limiting groove can be provided on the peripheral side of the receiving opening 11 of the grille body 1, and a limiting boss can be provided on the baffle 3 accordingly. When the baffle 3 is received in the receiving opening 11, the limiting boss is inserted into the limiting groove to assist in limiting the baffle 3, thereby preventing the baffle 3 from further extending into the grille body 1 and interfering with other components.

[0072] Optionally, the grille body 1 is further provided with a limiting rib 12 located within the receiving opening 11. When the baffle 3 is received within the receiving opening 11, it engages with the limiting rib 12. Specifically, when the baffle 3 is fully received, it engages with the limiting rib 12 within the receiving opening 11, preventing the baffle 3 from moving further into the grille body 1, thereby occupying space within the grille body 1 and potentially interfering with other components within the grille body 1, causing damage. Of course, multiple limiting ribs 12 may be provided, spaced apart within the receiving opening 11, to enhance the effectiveness of the limiting ribs 12 in limiting the position of the baffle 3.

[0073] Optionally, a hand grip 32 is provided on the side of the baffle 3 facing away from the grille body 1. In some examples, the hand grip 32 may be a groove, and the user pushes or pulls the baffle 3 by placing their hand in the groove; in other examples, the hand grip 32 may be a handle, and the user pushes or pulls the baffle 3 by the handle.

[0074] Optionally, the baffle 3 may be driven to move by a motor to achieve automatic retraction and extension of the baffle 3, which will not be further explained here.

[0075] Optionally, the connecting rod assembly 2 comprises a pair, with both ends of the pair of connecting rod assemblies 2 being rotatably connected to the grille body 1 and the baffle 3, respectively; wherein the pair of connecting rod assemblies 2 are symmetrically arranged in the vertical direction. Providing a pair of connecting rod assemblies 2 provides more reliable and stable support for the movement of the baffle 3. Furthermore, because the pair of connecting rod assemblies 2 are symmetrically arranged in the vertical direction, the force components transmitted by the pair of second rods 22 to the baffle 3 that cause the baffle 3 to swing in the left and right directions can offset each other. As a result, the pair of second rods 22 only transmit forward or backward thrust or pull to the baffle 3, preventing the baffle 3 from swinging in the left and right directions and achieving reciprocating linear motion only in the front-to-back direction toward or away from the grille body 1.

[0076] The present application also provides an air conditioner comprising a panel and an air inlet grille as described above. The panel is provided with an air inlet; the air inlet grille is mounted on the air inlet. A baffle 3, which is movably mounted on the air inlet grille, achieves an anti-adsorption effect for the air conditioner's curtains. Furthermore, since the baffle 3 is integrally designed with the grille body 1, there is no need to store the baffle 3 separately, thus preventing damage or loss of the baffle 3. The baffle 3 is simple to retract and deploy, and the manufacturing cost is low.

[0077] In the above embodiments, the description of each embodiment has its own focus. For parts that are not described in detail in a certain embodiment, reference can be made to the relevant descriptions of other embodiments.

[0078] In the description of this application, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood to indicate or imply relative importance or implicitly specify the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, features specified as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more features.

[0079] The above is a detailed introduction to the air intake grille and air conditioner provided in the embodiments of the present application. Specific examples are used herein to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of the present application.
