[0051] The following embodiments of the present invention are described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate the present invention, but are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.
[0052] The various specific technical features and embodiments described in the specific embodiments can be combined in any suitable manner, unless there is any contradiction. For example, different embodiments can be formed by combining different specific technical features / embodiments. To avoid unnecessary repetition, the various possible combinations of the specific technical features / embodiments in this application will not be described separately. In addition, the terms "first," "second," and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood to indicate or imply relative importance. The application will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0053] It should be noted that, in this application, one of the first and second directions may be the front-to-back direction, and the other of the first and second directions may be the left-to-right direction. Down refers to the direction toward the ground, up refers to the direction opposite to down, front refers to the direction toward the user, and back refers to the direction opposite to front. Left refers to the side where the user's left hand would be located when the user is in front of the panel assembly 100, and right refers to the direction opposite to left. The front-to-back, left-to-right, and up-to-down directions are mutually perpendicular and together constitute a three-dimensional vertical coordinate system.
[0054] To facilitate understanding of the panel assembly 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application, the air conditioning device provided in the embodiment of the present application is first described:
[0055] The embodiment of the present application provides an air conditioning device, comprising a main unit and a panel assembly 100 according to any one of the embodiments of the present application. The main unit is formed with an air outlet, and the panel assembly 100 is disposed at the air outlet.
[0056] The air supply port and the air outlet 10a are connected. The host is a device that can regulate indoor air. The airflow generated during the operation of the host flows to the outside through the air supply port and the air outlet 10a in turn, thereby realizing air conditioning functions such as temperature regulation and / or humidity regulation.
[0057] For example, the air conditioning device can be installed on a suspended ceiling or ceiling. For example, the main unit can be installed in the suspended ceiling space, and the panel assembly 100 can be installed on the suspended ceiling board. The panel assembly 100 can be installed below the main unit.
[0058] It should be noted that the panel assembly 100 can be used in conjunction with any device that requires air guidance. For example, if the host includes a ducted air conditioner, the panel assembly 100 can be used in conjunction with the ducted air conditioner.
[0059] In the related art, the two ends of the louver along the length direction are respectively connected to the surface frame. Taking the louver and the surface frame as an example, each louver requires at least two fasteners to be fixed to the surface frame, which increases production costs, has many assembly processes, and has low production efficiency.
[0060] See also Figures 1 to 13The present invention provides a panel assembly 100 including a face frame 10 and a louver module 20. The face frame 10 is formed with an air outlet 10a; the louver module 20 is disposed at the air outlet 10a. The louver module 20 includes a plurality of louvers 21 and two connecting rods 22. The louvers 21 are spaced apart along a first direction, and the two connecting rods 22 connect the ends of all the louvers 21 along a second direction. The louvers 21 and the two connecting rods 22 are integrally formed. The first direction and the second direction are perpendicular.
[0061] The airflow flows to the outside through the air outlet 10a. The louver module 20 is set at the air outlet 10a. The plurality of louvers 21 are spaced along the first direction. That is, the airflow flows to the outside through the gaps between the louvers 21. The louvers 21 guide the airflow flowing through the air outlet 10a.
[0062] Two ends of the louver 21 along the second direction are respectively connected to two connecting rods 22 , that is, the length direction of the louver 21 is along the second direction.
[0063] All louvers 21 and the two connecting rods 22 are integrally formed. This means that no fasteners are required to connect all louvers 21 and the two connecting rods 22. This, on the one hand, improves the connection between the louvers 21 and the connecting rods 22, thereby enhancing the structural stability of the louver module 20. On the other hand, it reduces the number of steps required to secure the louvers 21 to the two connecting rods 22, thereby improving the production efficiency and reducing production costs of the louver module 20.
[0064] It should be noted that, in this application, a plurality refers to a quantity including two or more.
[0065] For example, let's take the example of ten louvers 21, where the louvers 21 are connected to the face frame 10 via a first fastener: in the related art, ten louvers 21 require at least twenty screws to be fixed to the face frame 10. In the present application, however, the ten louvers 21 and two connecting rods 22 are an integrally formed structure, and each connecting rod 22 can be fixed to the face frame 10 via a first fastener, that is, the louver module 20 can be fixed to the face frame 10 via two fasteners. Thus, compared to the related art, the louver module 20 in the present application is an integrally formed structure, which, on the one hand, can significantly reduce the number of parts required to assemble multiple louvers 21. On the other hand, it can reduce the number of assembly steps, thereby improving the production efficiency of the panel assembly 100 and reducing the production cost.
[0066] The panel assembly 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application has an integrally formed structure of the louver module 20. On the one hand, all louvers 21 and the two connecting rods 22 do not require fasteners to connect, which can enhance the structural stability of the louver module 20 and reduce the number of steps required to secure the multiple louvers 21 and connecting rods 22, thereby improving production efficiency. On the other hand, compared to related technologies, the present application can significantly reduce the number of parts required to assemble multiple louvers 21 and the number of assembly steps, thereby improving the production efficiency of the panel assembly 100 and reducing production costs.
[0067] In some embodiments, the louver module 20 is an injection molded structure.
[0068] Injection molding is a plastic forming process. Injection molding refers to a plastic part produced by injecting molten plastic into a mold under pressure and then cooling it. In other words, the louver module 20 is manufactured using an injection molding process. This further improves the production efficiency and product quality of the louver module 20. Furthermore, the louver module 20 does not require a fastening structure, resulting in a more aesthetically pleasing appearance.
[0069] In related technologies, the area where individual louvers connect to the screws is relatively thin, making the use of screws a common method of connection, which can easily cause the louvers to crack and break. In some cases, to adjust the louver's angle, force is often applied to rotate the louver, which can overtighten the screws and exacerbate cracking. It can also cause the screws to loosen, resulting in unusual noises during ventilation or even causing the louver to fall.
[0070] For some examples, see Figure 2 The panel assembly 100 includes a first fastener, the shutter module 20 includes a fixing column 23, the fixing column 23 is arranged on the connecting rod 22, and the first fastener is passed through the face frame 10, the connecting rod 22 and the fixing column 23.
[0071] Please continue reading Figure 2For example, the thickness of the fixing column 23 is greater than that of the connecting rod 22, wherein both the thickness direction of the fixing column 23 and the thickness direction of the connecting rod 22 are along the second direction. The fixing column 23 can increase the thickness of the connecting rod 22. The first fastener is provided through the face frame 10, the connecting rod 22, and the fixing column 23. In other words, the fixing column 23 can increase the structural strength of the connection between the connecting rod 22 and the first fastener, thereby preventing cracking in the thinner portion of the connecting rod 22 to a certain extent without increasing the overall thickness of the connecting rod 22 along the second direction. In addition, the thickness of the fixing column 23 is greater than that of the connecting rod 22, which provides greater structural strength and reduces the risk of cracking and damage to the louver module 20. Compared to the problem of louvers being prone to cracking in the related art, the present application provides better protection for the louver module 20 by providing the fixing column 23, the connecting rod 22, and the face frame 10 through the first fastener. This ensures a secure connection between the louver module 20 and the face frame 10.
[0072] For example, see Figure 3 and Figure 4 The two connecting rods 22 are respectively provided with a plurality of fixing posts 23. For example, some of the fixing posts 23 may be provided with the first fasteners, while the rest may not be provided with the first fasteners. For another example, all of the fixing posts 23 may be provided with the first fasteners.
[0073] The specific type of the first fastener is not limited, for example, the first fastener may be a screw or a bolt, etc. For example, the first fastener and the fixing column 23 may be threadedly connected.
[0074] In one embodiment, the fixing column 23 and the connecting rod 22 are an integrally formed structure, that is, the fixing column 23 and the connecting rod 22 do not need to be connected using a fastening structure. In this way, the structural stability of the louver module 20 can be further enhanced, the production efficiency of the louver module 20 can be improved, and the production cost can be reduced.
[0075] For some examples, see Figures 3 to 5 The louver 21 includes a fixed shaft 212 and two blades 211. The blades 211 are positioned at opposite radial ends of the fixed shaft 212. The wind-guiding surfaces of the blades 211, along their thickness, form an angle between 45° and 135° with the horizontal plane. The fixed shaft 212 is connected to two connecting rods 22 at its axial ends. The wind-guiding surfaces are used to redirect airflow.
[0076] For example, the angle between the wind guide surface and the horizontal plane may be 45°, 60°, 75°, 90°, 105°, 120°, or 135°, etc.
[0077] For example, see Figure 3, the air guide surfaces of all louvers 21 are at an angle of 45° to the horizontal plane. For example, the airflow after passing through the louver module 20 is generally directed to the lower left. For another example, see Figure 4 , the air guide surfaces of all louvers 21 are at an angle of 90° to the horizontal plane. For example, the airflow after passing through the louver module 20 is generally directed downward. For another example, the air guide surfaces of all louvers 21 are at an angle of 135° to the horizontal plane. For example, the airflow after passing through the louver module 20 is generally directed downward to the right.
[0078] Thus, on the one hand, because the louver module 20 is an injection-molded structure, it is easy to produce louver modules 20 with different blade 211 angles, suitable for different usage scenarios. On the other hand, compared with the related art, the louver 21 of the present application is fixedly connected to the connecting rod 22 and does not need to rotate. This can prevent the louver 21 from loosening, causing abnormal noise, or even falling during the operation of the air conditioning equipment.
[0079] In some embodiments, the shutter module 20 and the face frame 10 are detachably connected, so that when the shutter module 20 needs to be repaired or replaced, it is convenient for operators to assemble and disassemble the shutter module 20 and the face frame 10.
[0080] In other embodiments, the louver module 20 and the face frame 10 are connected in a non-detachable manner. For example, the louver module 20 and the face frame 10 are connected in a non-detachable manner such as welding or bonding.
[0081] For some examples, see Figures 3 to 5 The connecting rod 22 includes a rod body 221 and a tearing portion 222 provided on the rod body 221. The tearing portion 222 is used to split the rod body 221. The tearing portion 222 is located between any two adjacent louvers 21. In other words, the louver module 20 can be split via the tearing portion 222 between any two adjacent louvers 21, and the length of the louver module 20 along the first direction is variable. In this way, by adjusting the length of the louver module 20 along the first direction, it can be adapted to face frames 10 of different sizes along the first direction. It can also be used to split louver modules 20 with different blade 211 angles and then spliced and installed on the face frame 10, thereby meeting the usage requirements of different scenarios and improving the applicability of the louver module 20.
[0082] For some examples, see Figure 5 The thickness of the tearing portion 222 is less than the thickness of the rod body 221. In other words, some parts of the tearing portion 222 do not penetrate the two side surfaces of the rod body 221 along the thickness direction. This can reduce the risk of cracking and damage to the louver module 20. On the basis of maintaining the structural stability of the louver module 20, the operator can disassemble the louver module 20 by applying a small force to the tearing portion 222.
[0083] For some examples, see Figure 5 The tearing portion 222 includes a tearing hole 222a that penetrates two side surfaces of the rod body 221 along the thickness direction. Thus, the tearing hole 222a and the surrounding portion have a lower structural strength, which further reduces the force applied by the operator to the tearing hole 222a, making it easier for the operator to disassemble the louver module 20.
[0084] It is understandable that the number of the tearing portions 222 in the louver module 20 can be set according to demand. For example, a louver module 20 can have one tearing portion 222 or multiple tearing portions 222.
[0085] For some examples, see Figure 1 The number of louver modules 20 is multiple, and the multiple louver modules 20 are arranged along the first direction. This can reduce the size of a single louver module 20 along the first direction, making the number of louvers 21 in a single louver module 20 appropriate while balancing installation and manufacturing difficulty. Louver modules 20 with different blade 211 angles can also be combined and installed on a single panel assembly 100, allowing for adjustment of the airflow direction at any location along the first direction of the panel assembly 100 to meet the needs of different scenarios.
[0086] For example, four louver modules 20 are arranged along a first direction, with two louver modules 20 positioned at each end of the first direction, and the angles between the air guide surfaces of their louvers 21 and the horizontal plane are 45° and 135°, respectively. Two louver modules 20 are positioned between the two ends of the first direction, and the angles between the air guide surfaces of their louvers 21 and the horizontal plane are 90°. In other words, the airflow direction of the panel assembly 100 at the two ends of the first direction is generally toward the lower left and lower right, respectively, and the airflow direction between the two ends of the panel assembly 100 in the first direction is generally toward the downward direction.
[0087] For some examples, see Figure 6 The two side walls of the face frame 10 along the second direction each form a slide groove 10b, which extends along the first direction. The two connecting rods 22 slideably engage with the two slide grooves 10b. The connecting rods 22 slidably engage with the slide grooves 10b. This not only facilitates the assembly of the louver module 20 and the face frame 10, but also facilitates the adjustment of the position of the louver module 20 to meet different installation requirements.
[0088] For some examples, see Figure 7 The face frame 10 includes two extruded frame walls 11 and two mounting components 12. The two extruded frame walls 11 are spaced apart along the second direction. The two mounting components 12 are respectively arranged at both ends of the two extruded frame walls 11 along the first direction. The two extruded frame walls 11 and the two mounting components 12 are jointly arranged to form an air outlet 10a.
[0089] That is, the two extruded frame walls 11 are two side walls along the second direction of the face frame 10. A sliding groove 10b extending along the first direction is formed on the extruded frame wall 11.
[0090] The extruded frame wall 11 is manufactured by an extrusion process. Extrusion, also known as extrusion, is a plastic molding process and one of the important methods for thermoplastic molding. Extrusion refers to a processing method in which the material passes through the barrel and screw of an extruder, is heated and plasticized, and is pushed forward by the screw, continuously passing through the die head to form various cross-sectional finished products or semi-finished products.
[0091] The extruded frame wall 11 manufactured using an extrusion process can be processed into any suitable length as needed during the manufacturing process. In other words, the length of the face frame 10 along the first direction is variable, so that face frames 10 of different sizes along the first direction can be manufactured, thereby improving the applicability of the panel assembly 100. For example, the length of the face frame 10 along the first direction can be 1 meter, 3 meters, or greater than 3 meters, etc.
[0092] The two mounting assemblies 12 are used to fix the two extruded frame walls 11 to improve the structural stability of the face frame 10 .
[0093] In one embodiment, the mounting assembly 12 is an extruded structure. That is, the mounting assembly 12 is manufactured using an extrusion process. This allows the face frame 10 to have a variable length along the second direction, thereby enabling the manufacture of face frames 10 having different sizes along the second direction, further enhancing the applicability of the panel assembly 100.
[0094] In some embodiments, extruded frame wall 11 and mounting assembly 12 are detachably connected.Like this, extruded frame wall 11 and mounting assembly 12 can be manufactured separately, reduce production difficulty.In addition, when needs repair and replace, be convenient to operating personnel and extruded frame wall 11 and mounting assembly 12 are loaded and unloaded.
[0095] In other embodiments, the extruded frame wall 11 and the mounting assembly 12 are connected in a non-detachable manner. For example, the extruded frame wall 11 and the mounting assembly 12 are connected in a non-detachable manner such as welding or bonding.
[0096] For some examples, see Figure 8 The extruded frame wall 11 includes a supporting body 111 and an installation folding edge 112. The installation folding edge 112 is connected to the air outlet side of the supporting body 111 along the air outlet direction and is bent in a direction away from the air outlet 10a.
[0097] For example, please see Figure 7 and Figure 8The supporting body 111 is used to connect with the two mounting components 12 to jointly enclose the air outlet 10a. The mounting folded edge 112 can play a certain shielding role. Taking the host being set in the ceiling space and the panel component 100 being installed on the ceiling as an example, in this way, the mounting folded edge 112 can block the gap between the panel component 100 and the ceiling, making the matching position between the panel component 100 and the ceiling more beautiful.
[0098] For some examples, see Figure 6 and Figure 9 The panel assembly 100 includes a plurality of rotatable air guide plates 30, and the plurality of air guide plates 30 are arranged at intervals along the second direction at the air outlet 10a, and the rotation axes of all the air guide plates 30 extend along the first direction; all the air guide plates 30 are arranged on one side of the louver module 20 along the third direction, wherein the first direction, the second direction and the third direction are perpendicular to each other.
[0099] The air guide plate 30 can rotate around the rotation axis to change the direction of the air flow. The rotation axis of the air guide plate 30 extends along the first direction, that is, the air guide plate 30 is roughly parallel to the extruded frame wall 11, which is easy to assemble.
[0100] The number of the air guide plates 30 can be adjusted according to the size of the air guide plates 30 themselves and the size of the face frame 10. For example, see Figure 9 , the number of the air guide plates 30 can be 3.
[0101] Please continue reading Figure 6 All air guide plates 30 are disposed on one side of the louver module 20 along the third direction. Specifically, all air guide plates 30 are disposed on the outlet side of the louver module 20 along the outlet direction. In other words, air flows through the louver module 20, then flows to the air guide plates 30, and then flows to the outside through the air guide plates 30, thereby changing the direction of the airflow. In this embodiment, the third direction can be the up-down direction.
[0102] For some examples, see Figure 1 、 Figure 6 and Figure 10 The panel assembly 100 includes a drive module 40, which includes a plurality of drive motors 41 corresponding to each of the air deflectors 30. The drive motors 41 are connected to the corresponding air deflectors 30 to rotate the corresponding air deflectors 30. In other words, the air deflectors 30 rotate electrically. Thus, the use of the drive motors 41 enables automated control of the air deflectors 30, improving the degree of automation.
[0103] The specific type of the driving motor 41 is not limited, and can be, for example, a stepping motor, etc., to improve the stability of the driving motor 41 .
[0104] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 Each wind deflector 30 is provided with a drive module 40 at both ends along the first direction. In other words, both ends of the wind deflector 30 along the first direction are drive-connected to a drive motor 41. Thus, for a larger face frame 10, for example, a face frame 10 with a length of 3 meters or more in the first direction, the wind deflector 30 is also longer in the first direction. If only one drive motor 41 is provided at one end of the wind deflector 30, it is difficult to ensure the stability of the wind deflector 30 during rotation, thereby affecting the wind deflector 30's air-guiding effect. Therefore, by providing a drive module 40 at each end of the wind deflector 30, each wind deflector 30 can be driven to rotate by two drive motors 41, thereby improving the stability of the wind deflector 30 during rotation.
[0105] For some examples, see Figure 1 The driving module 40 is arranged on the side of the mounting assembly 12 away from the air outlet 10a. The panel assembly 100 includes two decorative covers 50 corresponding to the two mounting assemblies 12. The decorative covers 50 are magnetically connected to the mounting assembly 12 to shield the driving module 40.
[0106] For example, please see Figure 1 The decorative cover 50 is disposed outside the driver module 40. This prevents external impurities such as dust and moisture from entering the driver module 40 and causing damage. Furthermore, the outer surface of the decorative cover 50 is relatively regular, which enhances the aesthetics of the panel assembly 100.
[0107] The decorative cover 50 is magnetically connected to the mounting assembly 12 , which can reduce the number of parts required for assembling the decorative cover 50 and the mounting assembly 12 and facilitates assembly and disassembly.
[0108] For some examples, see Figure 10 and Figure 11 The drive module 40 includes a plurality of rotating frames 42, each corresponding to each of the air deflectors 30, and having shaft holes 42a. The rotating frames 42 are mounted on the air deflectors 30, and the drive shafts of the drive motors 41 are received in the corresponding shaft holes 42a. In other words, the shaft holes 42a serve as position limits for the drive shafts of the drive motors 41. Thus, the drive motors 41 drive the air deflectors 30 to rotate through the cooperation between the shaft holes 42a and the drive shafts.
[0109] For example, the rotating frame 42 is disposed on the back side of the air guide plate 30, where the back side of the air guide plate 30 refers to the side of the air guide plate 30 that faces away from the exterior surface of the air guide plate 30. In this way, the air guide plate 30 can shield the rotating frame 42, thereby improving the aesthetics of the panel assembly 100.
[0110] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 9The air deflector 30 is formed with a slideway 30a extending along a first direction. The rotating frame 42 includes a fixed portion 421 and a rotating portion 422 connected to each other. The rotating portion 422 defines an axial hole 42a. The fixed portion 421 is received within the slideway 30a. The fixed portion 421 can be inserted into the slideway 30a by snapping. The rotating portion 422 is driven by the drive motor 41 to drive the air deflector 30 to rotate.
[0111] Illustratively, the fixing portion 421 is interference-fitted with the slideway 30 a , thereby enhancing the connection stability between the rotating frame 42 and the air guide plate 30 .
[0112] For some examples, see Figure 1 and Figure 9 The panel assembly 100 includes a support frame 60 and a support member 70 . The support frame 60 is disposed at the air outlet 10 a and connected to the face frame 10 . The support member 70 is disposed at the air guide plate 30 . The support member 70 is rotatably connected to the support frame 60 .
[0113] For example, please see Figure 1 The support frames 60 are connected to the two extruded frame walls 11 at both ends along the second direction. The support frames 60 provide support to the face frame 10. Multiple support frames 60 are spaced apart along the first direction. In this way, the multiple support frames 60 act as multiple supports. The multiple support frames 60 and the face frame 10 can be considered a frame structure, which can enhance the structural stability of the panel assembly 100, thereby ensuring the support effect of the support frames 60. The support frames 60 are rotatably connected to the support members 70, which can ensure the normal rotation of the air deflector 30. In addition, for larger air deflectors 30, the provision of the support members 70 can provide better support for the air deflectors 30, effectively preventing deformation of the air deflectors 30.
[0114] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 12 and Figure 13 The support member 70 includes a supporting portion 71 and a rotating portion 72 connected to each other. The rotating portion 72 is provided with a rotating shaft 721. The support frame 60 is formed with a rotating opening 60a. The rotating shaft 721 can be inserted into the rotating opening 60a to realize the rotation connection between the support frame 60 and the support member 70.
[0115] Furthermore, the support portion 71 slides in cooperation with the slide 30a, and the support portion 71 can be slidably inserted into the slide 30a. This not only facilitates adjusting the position of the support member 70 so that the support member 70 can be aligned and connected with the support frame 60, but also facilitates adjusting the number of support members 70 according to the number of support frames 60 to meet different installation requirements.
[0116] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 12The support frame 60 includes a frame body 61 and two sliders 62. The two sliders 62 connect the two ends of the frame body 61 along the second direction. The two sliders 62 respectively slide in engagement with the two slide grooves 10b, and the sliders 62 can be slidably engaged in the slide grooves 10b. This not only facilitates the assembly of the support frame 60 and the face frame 10, but also facilitates the adjustment of the position of the support frame 60 according to the different sizes of the blind modules 20 to meet different installation requirements.
[0117] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 12 The support frame 60 includes a mounting post 63 and a second fastener, and the second fastener is passed through the face frame 10 and the mounting post 63. Exemplarily, the thickness of the mounting post 63 is greater than the thickness of the frame 61, wherein the thickness direction of the mounting post 63 and the thickness direction of the frame 61 are both along the first direction. The second fastener is passed through the face frame 10 and the mounting post 63, that is, the mounting post 63 can increase the structural strength of the connection between the face frame 10 and the support frame 60, and can prevent the thinner parts of the support frame 60 from cracking to a certain extent without increasing the overall thickness of the support frame 60 along the first direction. In addition, the thickness of the mounting post 63 is greater than the thickness of the frame 61, and the structural strength of the mounting post 63 is better, which can reduce the risk of cracking and damage of the support frame 60.
[0118] For example, see Figure 12 The two mounting posts 63 are respectively provided at both ends of the frame 61 along the second direction, and the two second fasteners are respectively passed through the two side walls of the face frame 10 along the second direction and the two mounting posts 63 .
[0119] The specific type of the second fastener is not limited, for example, the second fastener may be a screw or a bolt, etc. For example, the second fastener and the mounting post 63 may be threadedly connected.
[0120] For some examples, see Figure 1 The plurality of louver modules 20 are arranged along the first direction, and the support frame 60 is located between two adjacent louver modules 20. In this way, the support frame 60 provides a supporting force, which can improve the structural stability of the area between the two louver modules 20 and the surrounding area, and is beneficial to the connection stability of the louver modules 20 and the face frame 10.
