Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of air conditioners, and in particular to a vertical air conditioner. Background Art

[0002] Typically, a vertical air conditioner is provided with an exhaust assembly for delivering airflow. However, the cables of the existing exhaust assembly block the air outlet, thereby affecting the air outlet effect. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a vertical air conditioner to solve the technical problem that the cables of the existing exhaust components block the air outlet, thereby affecting the air outlet effect.

[0004] The utility model provides a vertical air conditioner, including an air duct, an exhaust assembly and a plurality of supporting ribs, the air duct is provided with an air inlet and an air outlet, the plurality of supporting ribs are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the air outlet, the first end of each supporting rib is fixedly connected to the edge of the air outlet, and the second end of each supporting rib extends radially along the air outlet to the middle of the air outlet; the exhaust assembly is supported and installed on the second end of each supporting rib, wherein at least one supporting rib is provided with a wire groove, and the cables of the exhaust assembly are accommodated in the wire groove.

[0005] The vertical air conditioner is provided with a plurality of supporting ribs arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction at the air outlet of the air duct, and at least one of the supporting ribs is provided with a cable trough for accommodating the cables of the exhaust assembly. On the one hand, the second ends of the plurality of supporting ribs can be used to install the exhaust assembly, thereby supporting the exhaust assembly and ensuring the working stability of the exhaust assembly. On the other hand, the cable troughs provided by the supporting ribs can also be used to guide and accommodate the cables of the exhaust assembly, so that the cables follow the direction of the supporting ribs, thereby not blocking the air outlet and ensuring the air outlet effect.

[0006] Furthermore, the opening of the cable trough faces away from the air duct, and the exhaust assembly includes a drive motor and a wind-expelling impeller. The motor shaft of the drive motor extends into the air duct, and the wind-expelling impeller is fixedly mounted on the motor shaft. This arrangement ensures that when air is discharged, air flows along the bottom and side walls of the cable trough toward the outlet side without entering the cable trough, thereby effectively reducing disturbances to the airflow and ensuring the performance of the vertical air conditioner.

[0007] Furthermore, the vertical air conditioner further includes a central support ring, wherein the second end of each of the support ribs is fixedly connected to the outer edge of the central support ring, and the drive motor is mounted in the central hole of the central support ring. This arrangement not only forms a stable support structure at the second end of each support rib, ensuring the installation stability of the drive motor, but also allows the drive motor to be installed simply by connecting it to the central support ring, eliminating the need to connect each rib individually, thereby improving assembly efficiency.

[0008] Furthermore, the central support ring and each support rib are integrally formed. This arrangement not only ensures the structural stability of the connection between the central support ring and the support ribs, but also allows the central support ring and each support rib to be manufactured together, reducing assembly steps and thus improving the assembly efficiency of the vertical air conditioner.

[0009] Furthermore, the side of the cable trough facing the air duct is an arc transition surface. This arrangement allows the air-conditioning air to flow out more smoothly when it is sent out through the air duct and passes through the back of the cable trough, reducing the influence of the flow field.

[0010] Furthermore, the number of the support ribs is four, and the four support ribs are arranged in a cross shape. This arrangement not only avoids significant obstruction of the air outlet caused by an excessive number of support ribs, thereby ensuring the air output, but also avoids weakening the support strength of the drive motor caused by too few support ribs.

[0011] Furthermore, the number of the air outlets is multiple, and the multiple air outlets are spaced apart in the vertical direction, and the exhaust assembly is installed at the position of each air outlet. This arrangement can increase the air outlet area of ​​the vertical air conditioner in the vertical direction and ensure the air supply effect.

[0012] Furthermore, the vertical air conditioner includes an air outlet panel, an upper air duct panel, a lower air duct panel, a left side panel, a right side panel, and a rear panel. The air outlet panel and the rear panel are opposite to each other in a front-to-rear direction. The upper air duct panel is connected to the upper end of the air outlet panel and extends to the left side panel, the right side panel, and the rear panel. The lower air duct panel is connected to the lower end of the air outlet panel and extends to the left side panel, the right side panel, and the rear panel. The air outlet panel, the upper air duct panel, the lower air duct panel, a portion of the left side panel, a portion of the right side panel, and a portion of the rear panel collectively form the air duct. The air inlet is provided in the rear panel, and the air outlet is provided in the air outlet panel. This form of utilizing partial areas of the left side panel, the right side panel, and the rear panel of the vertical air conditioner to form a portion of the air duct not only reduces the number of components used to form the air duct, but also allows the airflow to directly enter the air duct cavity after entering from the rear panel, resulting in a short airflow path and low resistance along the way, thereby reducing air volume loss.

[0013] Furthermore, the vertical air conditioner further includes an electric heating device, which is located between the air outlet panel and the rear panel, with the upper end of the electric heating device connected to the upper air duct plate and the lower end of the electric heating device connected to the lower air duct plate. By connecting the upper end of the electric heating device to the upper air duct plate and the lower end to the lower air duct plate, the upper and lower air duct plates serve as the mounting base for the electric heating device, eliminating the need for a separate mounting bracket for the electric heating device. This reduces costs and also reduces the space occupied within the vertical air conditioner.

[0014] Furthermore, the vertical air conditioner further includes a top cover, the top cover being located above the upper air duct plate, and the top cover, the rear panel, the left side panel, and the right side panel being an integrally formed structure. By providing the top cover, rear panel, left side panel, and right side panel as an integrally formed structure, the structural strength of the vertical air conditioner can be increased, and assembly efficiency can be improved.

[0022] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the following describes in detail the specific embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0023] Figure 1 This is a partial structural diagram of the vertical air conditioner provided in this embodiment. Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a vertical air conditioner, including an air duct 100, an exhaust assembly 200 and a plurality of supporting ribs 300. Specifically, the air duct 100 is provided with an air inlet 561 and an air outlet 511, and the plurality of supporting ribs 300 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the air outlet 511. The first end of each supporting rib 300 is fixedly connected to the edge of the air outlet 511, and the second end of each supporting rib 300 extends radially along the air outlet 511 to the middle of the air outlet 511; the exhaust assembly 200 is supported and installed on the second end of each supporting rib 300, wherein at least one supporting rib 300 is provided with a wire groove, and the cables of the exhaust assembly 200 are accommodated in the wire groove.

[0024] The vertical air conditioner is provided with a plurality of support ribs 300 arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction at the air outlet 511 of the air duct 100, and at least one of the support ribs 300 is provided with a cable trough for accommodating the cables of the exhaust assembly 200. On the one hand, the second ends of the plurality of support ribs 300 can be used to install the exhaust assembly 200, so as to support the exhaust assembly 200 and ensure the working stability of the exhaust assembly 200. On the other hand, the cable trough provided by the support ribs 300 can be used to guide and accommodate the cables of the exhaust assembly 200, so that the cables are shaped in the direction of the support ribs 300, thereby not blocking the air outlet 511 and ensuring the air outlet effect.

[0025] Please continue to refer to Figure 1 In this embodiment, the support rib 300 is a straight rib, and the support rib 300 is perpendicular to the tangent of the edge of the air outlet 511 at the first end. This setting increases the support force of the support rib 300 on the exhaust assembly 200 along the radial direction of the air outlet 511 and facilitates processing and manufacturing.

[0026] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the "radial direction of the air outlet 511" refers to the direction of the line connecting the edge of the air outlet 511 and its geometric center. For example, when the air outlet 511 is a circular air outlet as shown in this embodiment, the radial direction of the air outlet 511 is the diameter direction; when the air outlet 511 is rectangular, the radial direction of the air outlet 511 is the direction of the line connecting any point on the edge of the air outlet 511 and its geometric center.

[0027] It should also be noted that a cable trough can be set on only one of the support ribs 300, such as setting the cable trough on the support rib 300 between the air outlet 511 and the electrical control box. In this case, the cable can be guided by utilizing its drape, thereby reducing the wiring length.

[0028] Of course, cable troughs may also be provided on some or all of the support ribs 300, so that during actual assembly, cable troughs at appropriate locations can be selected based on the cable length of the exhaust assembly 200. For example, if the electrical control box is located below the air outlet 511 and the cables of the exhaust assembly 200 are directed downward to the electrical control box, when the cable trough is located in the upper half of the air outlet 511, that is, when the cable trough is provided on the support ribs 300 located in the upper half of the air outlet 511, when the exhaust assembly 200 utilizes the cable trough for routing, length compensation can be achieved through the cable trough to avoid entanglement due to excessively long cables.

[0029] Figure 2 This is a longitudinal sectional view of the partial structure of the vertical air conditioner provided in this embodiment. Figure 1 , and combined with Figure 2 In this embodiment, the notch of the wire trough faces away from the air duct 100, and the exhaust assembly 200 may include a driving motor 210 and a wind-driving impeller 220. The motor shaft of the driving motor 210 extends into the air duct 100, and the wind-driving impeller 220 is fixedly sleeved on the motor shaft.

[0030] By making the slot of the cable trough face away from the air duct 100, that is, by making the slot of the cable trough face the air outlet side, when the cable of the drive motor 210 is accommodated in the cable trough, in the air outlet state, the air flow will flow along the bottom wall and side walls of the cable trough toward the air outlet side, and will not enter the cable trough, thereby effectively reducing the disturbance of the air flow and ensuring the performance of the vertical air conditioner.

[0031] Please continue to refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In this embodiment, the vertical air conditioner may further include a central support ring 400, wherein the second end of each support rib 300 is fixedly connected to the outer edge of the central support ring 400, and the drive motor 210 is installed in the center hole of the central support ring 400. In other words, the second end of each support rib 300 intersects and connects to the central support ring 400.

[0032] The arrangement of the above-mentioned central support ring 400 not only enables each supporting rib 300 to form a stable supporting structure at the second end, thereby ensuring the installation stability of the drive motor 210, but also enables the installation of the drive motor 210 to be achieved by connecting the drive motor 210 to the central support ring 400, without the need to perform connection operations on each rib, thereby improving assembly efficiency.

[0033] Please continue to refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In this embodiment, the central support ring 400 and each supporting rib 300 are an integrally formed structure.

[0034] By configuring the central support ring 400 and each support rib 300 as an integrally formed structure, not only is the structural stability of the connection between the central support ring 400 and the support rib 300 ensured, but the central support ring 400 and each support bar can also be manufactured together, reducing the number of assembly steps, thereby improving the assembly efficiency of the vertical air conditioner of this embodiment.

[0035] In this embodiment, the side of the wire trough facing the air duct 100 is an arc transition surface. That is, the bottom wall of the wire trough is an arc surface, and the bottom wall of the wire trough and its side walls are connected by an arc transition, so that the side of the wire trough facing the air duct 100 has an overall arc structure, thereby forming an arc transition surface.

[0036] By setting the side of the wire trough facing the air duct 100 as an arc transition surface, the air conditioning air can flow out more smoothly when it is sent out through the air duct 100 and passes through the back of the wire trough, reducing the impact of the flow field.

[0037] Please continue to refer to Figure 1 In this embodiment, there are four supporting ribs 300 , and the four supporting ribs 300 are arranged in a cross shape.

[0038] By setting the number of support ribs 300 to four and arranging them in a "cross" shape, on the one hand, it is possible to avoid a large obstruction of the air outlet 511 due to an excessive number of support ribs 300, thereby ensuring the air output. On the other hand, it is also possible to avoid weakening the support strength of the drive motor 210 due to an excessive number of support ribs 300.

[0039] Please continue to refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In this embodiment, the vertical air conditioner includes an air outlet panel 510, an upper air duct plate 520, a lower air duct plate 530, a left side panel 540, a right side panel 550 and a rear panel 560, wherein the air outlet panel 510 and the rear panel 560 are opposite to each other in the front-to-back direction, the upper air duct plate 520 is connected to the upper end of the air outlet panel 510 and extends to the left side panel 540, the right side panel 550 and the rear panel 560, and the lower air duct plate 530 is connected to the lower end of the air outlet panel 510 and extends to the left side panel 540, the right side panel 550 and the rear panel 560. The air outlet panel 510, the upper air duct plate 520, the lower air duct plate 530, a part of the left side panel 540, a part of the right side panel 550 and a part of the rear panel 560 together form an air duct 100; the air inlet 561 is opened on the rear panel 560, and the air outlet 511 is opened on the air outlet panel 510.

[0040] This form of utilizing partial areas of the left side panel 540, the right side panel 550 and the rear panel 560 of the vertical air conditioner to form a part of the air duct 100 can not only save the number of components used to form the air duct 100, but also allows the airflow to directly enter the cavity of the air duct 100 after entering from the rear panel 560, resulting in a short airflow path and low resistance along the way, thereby reducing air volume loss.

[0041] It should be noted that, generally speaking, the side of a floor-standing air conditioner that faces the indoor space or the indoor user activity area is the front side of the floor-standing air conditioner; and the side of the floor-standing air conditioner that faces the corner or the wall is its rear side. Specifically in this embodiment, the "up and down direction" of the floor-standing air conditioner can be determined by Figures 1 to 2 The arrows ab in the figure represent the left and right directions of the vertical air conditioner. Figures 1 to 2 The arrows cd in the figure indicate the “front and back direction” of the air conditioner cabinet. Figures 1 to 2 It is represented by the arrow ef in the figure.

[0042] Please continue to refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In this embodiment, there are two air outlets 511 , which are spaced apart in the vertical direction, and an exhaust assembly 200 is installed at each air outlet 511 .

[0043] By setting the number of air outlets 511 to two and arranging them at intervals in the vertical direction, while ensuring the air output, not only can the structural strength of the air outlet panel 510 be improved, but also the air outlet area of ​​the vertical air conditioner in the vertical direction can be increased, thereby ensuring the air supply effect.

[0044] Please continue to refer to Figure 2 In this embodiment, the vertical air conditioner may further include an electric heating device 600. Specifically, the electric heating device 600 is located between the air outlet panel 510 and the rear panel 560, and the upper end of the electric heating device 600 is connected to the upper air duct plate 520, and the lower end of the electric heating device 600 is connected to the lower air duct plate 530.

[0045] The installation of the electric heating device 600 satisfies the requirement of the vertical air conditioner to deliver hot air to the indoor space, thus providing the vertical air conditioner with a heating function. By connecting the upper end of the electric heating device 600 to the upper air duct plate 520 and the lower end to the lower air duct plate 530, and utilizing the upper and lower air duct plates 520, 530 as the mounting base for the electric heating device 600, a separate mounting bracket for the electric heating device 600 is not required, thereby reducing costs and the space occupied within the vertical air conditioner.

[0046] Please continue to refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2In this embodiment, the vertical air conditioner may further include a top cover 570. Specifically, the top cover 570 is located above the upper air duct plate 520, and the top cover 570, the rear panel 560, the left side panel 540 and the right side panel 550 are an integrally formed structure.

[0047] The provision of top cover 570 provides a cover for the upper portion of the vertical air conditioner, ensuring the air conditioner's seal while also protecting its internal structure from dust. Furthermore, by forming top cover 570, rear panel 560, left side panel 540, and right side panel 550 as an integrally formed structure, the structural strength of the vertical air conditioner is increased, improving assembly efficiency.

Any person skilled in the art may make various changes and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention shall be subject to the scope defined by the claims.
