Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a ceiling-mounted air conditioner, and more particularly to a ceiling-mounted air conditioner with a visible, independently adjustable air guide plate. Background Art

[0002] Ceiling-mounted air conditioners are widely used in commercial buildings, large offices, homes, small and medium-sized spaces, and commercial environments requiring specific comfort levels due to their high efficiency, uniform airflow, energy saving, and environmental friendliness. In modern society, as air conditioning penetration increases, people's demands for it also rise. Taking an office space as an example, while the location of each desk is relatively fixed, each person's perceived airflow and temperature are different, thus requiring different airflow patterns in a specific space. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a ceiling-mounted air conditioner with a simple structure, low cost, and intuitive visualization that allows for individual adjustment of the air delivery angle of each air guide plate. This can meet the personalized needs of users in specific spaces and provide users with a better experience.

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is achieved through the following technical measures: a ceiling-mounted air conditioner with a visually adjustable air guide plate, comprising an air conditioner body, a panel mounted on the air conditioner body, an air inlet grille set on the panel, several air outlets opened on the panel, an air guide plate rotatably mounted on the air outlets, a drive motor for driving the air guide plate to rotate, and an electronic control unit for controlling the start and stop of the drive motor. The feature is that an indicator light is provided on the panel near each air guide plate, with each air guide plate corresponding to one indicator light. The electronic control unit allows the user to visually adjust the air delivery angle of the air guide plate corresponding to the indicator light by flashing and extinguishing the indicator lights according to user control.

[0005] This utility model has an indicator light near each air guide plate. The flashing and extinguishing of the indicator light allows users to intuitively observe and control the air supply angle when adjusting it. This allows for intuitive and visual adjustment of the air supply angle of each air guide plate, which can meet the individual needs of users in specific spaces and provide users with a better experience.

[0006] The air inlet grille of this invention is located in the middle of the panel, and the air guide plate is located around the panel and is outside the air inlet grille.

[0007] This invention features an array of air outlet channels on the air guide plate. Each air outlet channel consists of an inlet section and an outlet section connected together. The inlet section is a conical channel with a large inlet end and a small outlet end, featuring a relatively large slope. This facilitates airflow while reducing the mass of the air guide plate without significantly compromising its strength. The outlet end of the outlet section has a chamfer, which helps the airflow disperse better, contributing to a "windless" feeling. It also avoids sharp edges at the outlet end and facilitates cleaning of the air guide plate surface. When each air guide plate is fully closed, it does not obstruct normal airflow; the airflow is dispersed from the holes, achieving a cool, windless effect. Users feel as comfortable as if they were in a cool cave, without any cold air blowing directly on them, providing a superior user experience.

[0008] The electrical control unit of this utility model includes a remote controller and an electrical control board mounted on the panel. The electrical control board is electrically connected to the drive motor and the indicator lights. The remote controller controls the start and stop of the drive motor and the lighting, flashing and turning off of the indicator lights through the electrical control board.

[0009] The remote control described in this utility model is equipped with a guide selection key for illuminating and flashing an indicator light, and a guide action key for starting the rotation of the guide plate corresponding to the indicator light and stopping after reaching the air delivery angle, which facilitates the user's operation when adjusting the air delivery angle.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following significant advantages:

[0011] (1) This utility model has a signal light near each air guide plate. The flashing and extinguishing of the signal light makes it easy for users to observe and control the air supply angle intuitively. This allows for intuitive and visual adjustment of the air supply angle of each air guide plate, which can meet the individual needs of users in specific spaces and provide users with a better experience.

[0012] (2) This utility model has an air outlet channel on the air guide plate. The air inlet section of the air outlet channel has a relatively large slope, and the air outlet end of the air outlet section has a chamfer. This can disperse the air and also make each air guide plate completely close. The air volume is dispersed from the holes, thereby achieving the effect of coolness without wind. People feel as comfortable as if they are in a cool cave. There is no cold air blowing directly on the human body, giving users a better experience.

[0013] (3) This utility model has a simple structure, low cost, and strong practicality, and is suitable for widespread promotion and use. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0020] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0021] like Figures 1-4As shown, this utility model discloses a ceiling-mounted air conditioner with a visually adjustable air guide plate. It includes an air conditioner body, a panel 01 mounted on the air conditioner body, an air inlet grille 02 located in the center of the panel 01, several air outlets located around the panel 01 and surrounding the air inlet grille 02, an air guide plate rotatably mounted on the air outlets, a drive motor for driving the air guide plate, and an electronic control unit for controlling the start / stop of the drive motor and the illumination / flashing and extinguishing of indicator lights. In this embodiment, the panel 01 is square, and there are four air outlets, respectively located on each side of the panel 01. There are four air guide plates: the first air guide plate 201, the second air guide plate 202, the third air guide plate 203, and the fourth air guide plate 204. An indicator light is located near each air guide plate on the panel 01, with each air guide plate corresponding to one indicator light. There are four indicator lights: the first indicator light 301, the second indicator light 302, the third indicator light 303, and the fourth indicator light 304. The drive motors are the first drive motor 101, the second drive motor 102, the third drive motor 103, and the fourth drive motor 104, respectively. Each drive motor drives the corresponding air guide plate to rotate. The electronic control unit includes a remote controller and an electronic control board 03 located on the panel 01. The electronic control board 03 is electrically connected to the motors and indicator lights via connecting wires 04. The remote controller controls the motors to start and stop, and the indicator lights to turn on, flash, and turn off via the electronic control board 03. Users can operate the device via remote control, which uses the electronic control board 03 to control the flashing and extinguishing of indicator lights. This allows users to visually adjust the air delivery angle of the air guide plate corresponding to the indicator light. This invention enables intuitive and visual adjustment of the air delivery angle of each air guide plate, thereby meeting the individual needs of users in specific spaces and providing them with a better experience.

[0022] The remote control features a guide selection button to illuminate and flash indicator lights, and a guide action button to activate the rotation of the guide vane corresponding to that indicator light, stopping it once the desired airflow angle is reached. To manually adjust the airflow angle of a specific guide vane, press the guide selection button on the remote. The remote transmits a signal to the control board, which then controls the indicator light near the guide vane to flash. Pressing the guide action button on the remote activates the control board, which drives the motor to rotate the guide vane automatically. When the guide vane reaches the desired angle, pressing the guide action button again stops the rotation, and the indicator light near that guide vane stops flashing. To adjust other guide vane angles, press the guide selection button again. The indicator lights will flash sequentially. When the indicator light near the desired guide vane flashes, the airflow angle of the other guide vanes can be controlled using the same steps. After the guide vane stops moving, if no further adjustment is needed, the indicator lights can be set to automatically stop flashing after a set period, indicating the adjustment is complete.

[0023] like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the air guide plate has an array of air outlet channels 05. The air outlet channels 05 are formed by connecting the air inlet section 06 and the air outlet section 07. The air inlet section 06 is a conical channel with a large air inlet end and a small air outlet end. The air inlet section 06 has a relatively large slope, which is conducive to the airflow and can also reduce the mass of the air guide plate without significantly reducing its strength. The air outlet section 07 has a chamfered air outlet end, which is conducive to better dispersion of the airflow after it is discharged, which helps to achieve a "windless feeling". At the same time, it avoids sharp edges at the air outlet end and makes it easier for users to wipe and clean the surface of the air guide plate.

[0024] In this embodiment, the airflow angle of the air guide vanes can only be individually adjusted half an hour after the unit is turned on. When the air guide vanes are open, the airflow direction is controlled by the angle of the vanes; when the air guide vanes are fully closed, the airflow disperses and flows out through the air outlets of the vanes, without obstructing normal airflow, allowing users to experience a windless feeling. This allows the airflow angle of each air guide vane in the ceiling-mounted air conditioner to be adjusted independently, intuitively, and visually.

[0025] The usage process of this utility model is as follows:

[0026] When the air guide selection button is clicked, the indicator light near a certain air guide plate will light up and flash, while the indicator lights near other air guide plates will not light up. When the air guide selection button is clicked multiple times, the indicator lights near the air guide plates can be lit up and flashed in a certain order, so that the user can select the air guide plate and adjust the air delivery angle of the air guide plate.

[0027] When the indicator light near a certain air guide plate is lit and flashing, it means that the air guide plate can be adjusted individually to change the air delivery angle. Clicking the air guide action button will cause the air guide plate to rotate. Clicking the air guide action button again will stop the controlled air guide plate from rotating.

[0028] You can also click the air guide operation button multiple times until the air guide plate stops at the desired air guide plate angle.

[0029] After adjusting the angle of one air guide plate, if you need to adjust the angle of another air guide plate, simply repeat the aforementioned steps.

[0030] If no other button presses are made within the set time, the airflow selection state will be exited and the current state will remain unchanged. At this time, the indicator light will turn off.

[0031] In the description of this embodiment, it should be understood that the specification and drawings involve descriptions of orientation or position, such as the orientation or positional relationship indicated by the first air guide plate 201, the second air guide plate 202, the third air guide plate 203, the fourth air guide plate 204, the first signal light 301, the second signal light 302, the third signal light 303, the fourth signal light 304, the first drive motor 101, the second drive motor 102, the third drive motor 103, the fourth drive motor 104, etc., based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings. This is only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and is not intended to indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, it should not be construed as a limitation on the rights of this utility model.

[0032] In the description of this embodiment, the description of the number of air guide plates, signal lights, and drive motors, as well as the description of the time setting in the control logic, are for the purpose of distinguishing technical features. This description should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.
