[0034] The principles and features of the present application are described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The examples given are only used to explain the present application and are not used to limit the scope of the present application.

[0035] The embodiment of the present application provides an air inlet grille that can be used in air conditioners. The air inlet grille is provided with a plurality of long strip grille openings 1, and the plurality of grille openings 1 are spaced apart along the width direction of the air inlet grille, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 shown.

[0036] like Figure 2 As shown, the grille opening 1 includes a first end portion 11, a main portion 13, and a second end portion 12 connected in sequence along its length direction. The projection of the first end portion 11 on the plane where the grille opening 1 is located is set to be a semicircle, the projection of the main portion 13 on the plane where the grille opening 1 is located is set to be a rectangle, and the projection of the second end portion 12 on the plane where the grille opening 1 is located is set to be a semicircle.

[0037] Existing air intake grilles are generally crisscross or square-shaped, exhibiting significant homogeneity and failing to meet the diverse needs of different customers. The air intake grille provided in the embodiments of the present application, however, features a grille opening 1 with semicircular ends and a rectangular center. This creates a novel and aesthetically pleasing design, enriching the variety of air intake grilles and reducing their homogeneity. This provides customers with more choices, helps meet the diverse needs of different customers, and thus improves the market competitiveness of air conditioners.

[0038] It can be understood that compared with the thickness of the air inlet grille, the length and width of the air inlet grille are much larger, so the thickness of the air inlet grille can be ignored, and the air inlet grille can be approximately regarded as a two-dimensional plane structure, which is the projection of the air inlet grille on the plane where the grille opening 1 is located. Then the shape of a single grille opening 1 is a novel shape composed of semicircle + rectangle + semicircle. The contour lines of the first end 11 and the second end 12 are both semicircular and have equal diameters. The contour line of the main body 13 is two parallel straight lines and the spacing is equal to the diameter of the first end 11 / second end 12.

[0039] In some exemplary embodiments, Figure 1 As shown, the projections of the first ends 11 of the plurality of grille openings 1 on the plane where the grille openings 1 are located are arranged to be tangent to a first set straight line 14, and the projections of the second ends 12 of the plurality of grille openings 1 on the plane where the grille openings 1 are located are arranged to be tangent to a second set straight line 15. The first set straight line 14 and the second set straight line 15 are virtual straight lines.

[0040] In this way, the overall shape formed by the multiple grille openings 1 is smoother and more neat, which is conducive to improving user preference.

[0041] In some embodiments, the first set straight line 14 and the second set straight line 15 can be set to be parallel to the corresponding outer contour lines of the air conditioner housing 2. In other words, when the air inlet grille is applied to the air conditioner, for example, it is set on the air inlet wall of the air conditioner housing 2 (the air inlet wall is provided with an air inlet 25), the first set straight line 14 and the second set straight line 15 are respectively parallel to the first contour line 241 and the second contour line 242 at both ends of the air inlet wall (i.e., two contour lines spaced apart along the length direction of the air inlet grille). Figure 1 shown.

[0042] In this way, the shape of the air inlet grille is closely matched with the shape of the outer shell 2, and is more coordinated as a whole, which is beneficial to improving the aesthetics of the air conditioner.

[0043] In some exemplary embodiments, Figure 1 As shown, the first set straight line 14 is inclined relative to the width direction of the air inlet grille, and the second set straight line 15 is inclined relative to the width direction of the air inlet grille, and the inclination directions of the first set straight line 14 and the second set straight line 15 are opposite.

[0044] Since the air inlet wall of the air conditioner housing 2 may be a structure similar to an isosceles trapezoid, the first set straight line 14 and the second set straight line 15 are inclined in opposite directions to match the shape of the air conditioner.

[0045] Of course, the first setting straight line 14 and the second setting straight line 15 may also be parallel to each other.

[0046] In some exemplary embodiments, Figure 3 As shown, multiple grille openings 1 are arranged at equal intervals along the width direction of the air inlet grille. In this way, the thickness of the ribs 16 between adjacent grille openings 1 (thickness along the width direction of the air inlet grille) is basically the same, which is convenient for processing and molding and also helps to improve the aesthetics.

[0047] In some embodiments, the spacing A between adjacent grille openings 1 is in the range of 3mm to 5mm, such as 3mm, 4mm, 5mm, etc., which can not only meet the structural strength requirements of the air inlet grille, but also facilitate processing and molding without generating excessive wind resistance.

[0048] Of course, the spacing between adjacent grille openings 1 is not limited to the above range and can be adjusted as needed.

[0049] In some exemplary embodiments, Figure 1 As shown, the air inlet grille is provided with a plurality of partition ribs 17 spaced apart along the length of the air inlet grille. The partition ribs 17 extend along the width of the air inlet grille to separate the multiple grille openings 1 into a horizontally and vertically arranged grid pattern. The position and number of the partition ribs 17 can be aligned with the ribs 16 of the air conditioning filter, or can be arranged roughly evenly.

[0050] In some exemplary embodiments, the widths of the plurality of grille openings 1 are completely the same, unequally the same, or completely different.

[0051] In other words, the diameters of the first end 11 / second end 12 of the plurality of grille openings 1 can be completely the same, or not completely the same, or completely different, and can be adjusted specifically according to the size of the ribs of the air conditioner filter so that the air inlet grille and the ribs of the filter can be better adapted. Figure 1 In the embodiment, the width of the grille opening 1 on the panel 27 is smaller than the width of the grille opening 1 on the face frame 26 .

[0052] like Figure 1 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 5 、 Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, an embodiment of the present application also provides a shell assembly of an air conditioner, including: an outer shell 2 and an air inlet grille as in any of the above embodiments, the air inlet grille is arranged at the air inlet 25, and at least part of the grille opening 1 is connected to the air inlet 25.

[0053] The shell assembly of the air conditioner provided in the embodiment of the present application includes the air inlet grille of any one of the above embodiments, and thus has all the above-mentioned beneficial effects, which will not be repeated here.

[0054] In some exemplary embodiments, the air inlet grille is configured to be integrally formed with the housing 2. For example, the air inlet grille can be integrally formed with the housing 2 by injection molding.

[0055] This can save the assembly process between the air inlet grille and the shell 2, and is conducive to improving the stability and reliability of the air inlet grille. Of course, the air inlet grille can also be formed separately and then assembled on the shell 2.

[0056] In some exemplary embodiments, Figure 3As shown, the housing 2 includes a panel 27 and a face frame 26 that are connected to each other. A portion of the air inlet grille is provided on the panel 27, and another portion is provided on the face frame 26. Thus, a portion of the air inlet grille is integrally formed with the panel 27, and another portion is integrally formed with the face frame 26. The area of ​​the portion of the air inlet grille located on the face frame 26 may be larger than the area of ​​the portion of the air inlet grille located on the panel 27.

[0057] In some exemplary embodiments, Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the length of the grille opening 1 is greater than the length of the air inlet 25 , and at least the first end 11 and the second end 12 of the grille opening 1 protrude from the air inlet 25 in the length direction of the grille opening 1 .

[0058] The housing 2 includes a main body 21 and two baffles 22 connected to the main body. The two baffles 22 are located downstream of the air inlet grille in the direction of airflow from the air inlet 25 and are spaced apart along the length of the grille. The air inlet 25 is located between the two baffles 22. The two baffles 22 are configured to shield the portion of the air inlet grille that protrudes from the air inlet 25.

[0059] In other words, the area of ​​the air inlet grille is larger than the area of ​​the air inlet 25, and both ends of the air inlet grille in the longitudinal direction are located outside the air inlet 25, and at least the first end 11 and the second end 12 of the grille opening 1 are located outside the air inlet 25. The main body 13 of the grille opening 1 is at least partially connected to the air inlet 25, and the ends of the main body 13 in the longitudinal direction may also be partially located outside the air inlet 25.

[0060] The portion of the air inlet grille protruding from the air inlet 25 is obscured from the inside by two baffles 22 of the housing 2. This does not affect the overall shape of the air inlet grille, improves the aesthetics of the air conditioner, and ensures that the air inlet grille is connected to the air inlet 25. The grille opening 1 is obscured by the baffles 22, creating a shape on the housing 2 that is equivalent to a partially concave air inlet wall.

[0061] In some exemplary embodiments, Figure 8 As shown, the inner surface of the baffle 22 is flush with the inner wall of the shell body 21. The wall thickness B2 of the end of the baffle 22 connected to the shell body 21 is less than the wall thickness B1 of the shell body 21, so that a step 23 is formed between the outer surface of the baffle 22 and the outer wall of the shell body 21. The recessed depth B3 of the step 23 is in the range of 0.6 mm to 1.2 mm, such as 0.6 mm, 0.7 mm, 0.8 mm, 0.9 mm, 1.0 mm, 1.1 mm, 1.2 mm, etc.

[0062] Because the two ends of the grille opening 1 are semicircular, the material thickness in the area between adjacent full semicircular structures is too thick, which can easily lead to shrinkage or air marks in the area between adjacent semicircular structures due to uneven material thickness. Existing air intake grilles generally adopt a square or cross-shaped structure to avoid shrinkage or air marks caused by uneven material thickness.

[0063] To this end, this solution provides a concave step 23 between the housing body 21 and the baffle 22. The depth B3 of step 23 is controlled within the range of 0.6mm to 1.2mm. This is equivalent to appropriately thinning the area between adjacent full semicircular structures, which helps prevent excessive thickness in the area between adjacent full semicircular structures, thereby improving shrinkage and air marks. Of course, the depth of step 23 is not limited to the above range and can be adjusted as needed.

[0064] In some exemplary embodiments, the two baffles 22 each include a transition portion 221, and the two transition portions 221 are configured to at least shield the first end portion 11 and the second end portion 12. One end of the transition portion 221 is connected to the shell body 21, and a step 23 is formed between the transition portion 221 and the outer wall surface of the shell body 21. Figure 8 As shown. Along the direction from one end of the transition portion 221 connecting the shell body 21 to the other end of the transition portion 221, the wall thickness of the transition portion 221 gradually increases, as shown. Figure 8 The width W of the transition portion 221 is greater than the diameters of the first end portion 11 and the second end portion 12 to ensure that the first end portion 11 and the second end portion 12 can be shielded by the two transition portions, thereby utilizing the transition portions to avoid a sudden change in thickness in the entire semicircular region of the first end portion 11 and the second end portion 12.

[0065] The setting of the transition portion 221 is conducive to achieving a gradual change in the material thickness near the full semicircular area, avoiding a sudden change in the material thickness near the full semicircular area of ​​the grille opening 1, thereby helping to improve the shrinkage and air mark problems near the full semicircular area; and the wall thickness gradually increases, which is conducive to ensuring the structural strength of the shell 2.

[0066] In some exemplary embodiments, Figure 8 As shown, the thickness B4 of the transition portion 221 at one end away from the shell body 21 is also smaller than the wall thickness B1 of the shell body 21 .

[0067] In some embodiments, the difference between the thickness of the end of the transition portion 221 away from the shell body 21 and the wall thickness of the shell body 21 is in the range of 0.3 mm to 0.5 mm, such as 0.3 mm, 0.4 mm, 0.5 mm, etc.

[0068] In one embodiment, the wall thickness B1 of the shell body 21 is 2.5 mm, the thickness B2 of the end of the transition portion 221 connected to the shell body 21 is 1.5 mm, and the thickness B4 of the end of the transition portion 221 away from the shell body 21 is 2.2 mm. The recessed depth B3 of the step 23 is 1.0 mm, and the width W of the transition portion 221 is 13 mm.

[0069] As a result, the overall thickness of the baffle 22 is slightly thinner than that of the housing body 21, helping to prevent excessive thickness near the full semicircle, which could cause a shrinking appearance. Furthermore, the provision of the transition portion 221 helps to prevent sudden changes in material thickness near the full semicircle, which could cause air marks. In short, the provision of the baffle creates a large transition area near the full semicircle of the air intake grille, effectively alleviating shrinkage and air marks caused by uneven material thickness.

[0070] In some exemplary embodiments, at least one baffle 22 further includes an extension 222, which is connected to and flush with the end of the transition portion 221 away from the housing body 21. The extension 222 can shield the portion of the main portion 13 of the air inlet grille that protrudes beyond the air inlet 25. The thickness B4 of the extension 222 is the same as that of the end of the transition portion 221 away from the housing body 21.
