Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.
[0143] The driving component 500 according to an embodiment of the present invention is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0144] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figures 16-22 As shown, according to an embodiment of the present utility model, the driving component 500 is used in the air outlet structure 1001. The air outlet structure 1001 includes an air outlet frame 20 and a switch door 300. The air outlet frame 20 has an air outlet 202, and the switch door 300 is rotatably disposed at the air outlet 202.
[0145] It is understood that the air outlet structure 1001 can be installed on the air conditioner 1000 to realize the air supply function of the air conditioner 1000. Specifically, the air conditioner 1000 can be a floor-standing or cabinet-type air conditioner 1000. The air outlet frame 20 has an air outlet duct 201 and an air outlet 202 communicating with the air outlet duct 201. The air outlet 202 extends along the length of the air outlet frame 20 (e.g., along the length of the air outlet frame 20). Figure 17 (As shown in the first direction). The air conditioner 1000 includes a housing 1005, and an air outlet frame 20 connected to the housing 1005. The housing 1005 is cylindrical to form the overall appearance of the air conditioner 1000. The housing 1005 is provided with an air inlet 1006 that communicates with the air outlet duct 201, so that airflow can enter the air conditioner 1000 from the air inlet 1006 for heat exchange, and then be blown out of the air conditioner 1000 from the air outlet 202 after passing through the air outlet duct 201, thereby realizing the air supply function of the air conditioner 1000. The air outlet frame 20 and the housing 1005 are vertically arranged, that is, the air outlet 202 extends in the vertical direction, thereby expanding the air supply range of the air conditioner 1000 in the vertical direction, thus ensuring the air supply effect of the air conditioner 1000.
[0146] The drive component 500 is located on one side of the air outlet 202 along its length and is used to drive the switch door 300 to rotate. Thus, the air outlet 202 can be opened or closed by rotating the switch door 300. At the same time, when the switch door 300 opens the air outlet 202, it can guide the airflow, thereby expanding the air delivery angle and air outlet range of the air outlet structure 1001, so that the switch door 300 can also serve as a guide vane.
[0147] Specifically, when the air conditioner 1000 is supplying air, the door 300 can be rotated to the position of opening the air outlet 202 to ensure airflow and reduce air volume loss. The door 300 also guides the airflow direction to expand the air supply angle and air outlet range of the air outlet structure 1001. When the air conditioner 1000 is turned off, the door 300 can be rotated to the position of closing the air outlet 202, which can prevent dust and ensure the cleanliness of the inside of the air conditioner 1000.
[0148] like Figures 1-15 As shown, the door switch 300 has a plug-in block 521, and the drive component 500 includes a door switch drive member 72 and a bushing 74. The peripheral wall of the output shaft of the door switch drive member 72 has a plug-in groove 7222 for the plug-in block 521 to be inserted. The bushing 74 is movably sleeved on the output shaft of the door switch drive member 72 along the axial direction of the output shaft of the door switch drive member 72. The bushing 74 has a first position and a second position. When the plug-in block 521 is inserted into the plug-in groove 7222, in the first position, the bushing 74 is sleeved outside a portion of the plug-in block 521. In the second position, the bushing 74 and the plug-in block 521 are spaced apart along the axial direction of the output shaft of the door switch drive member 72.
[0149] Therefore, when the plug block 521 is inserted into the plug slot 7222 and the bushing 74 is in the first position, the bushing 74 is fitted over part of the plug block 521, thereby fixing the plug block 521 in the plug slot 7222. This ensures a stable connection between the plug block 521 and the output shaft of the door opening / closing drive 72, thus ensuring the stability and reliability of the door opening / closing drive 72 in driving the door 300 to rotate. This also provides convenient operation and high assembly efficiency. Simultaneously, when the plug block 521 is inserted into the plug slot 7222 and the bushing 74 is in the second position, the bushing 74 is spaced apart from the plug block 521 along the axial direction of the output shaft of the door opening / closing drive 72. This allows the plug block 521 to be removed from the plug slot 7222, detaching it from the output shaft of the door opening / closing drive 72, facilitating the disassembly, assembly, and maintenance of the door 300 or the drive component 500.
[0150] Through the bushing 74 along the axial direction of the output shaft of the door opening / closing drive 72 (e.g.) Figure 17 The movement in the first direction (as shown) makes it easier to ensure the coaxiality between the bushing 74 and the output shaft of the door opening / closing drive 72, thereby improving assembly accuracy, reducing friction and wear, and improving overall stability and durability. Meanwhile, compared to the bushing 74 rotating circumferentially along the output shaft of the door opening / closing drive 72, which requires a larger operating space and greater assembly difficulty for alignment, this application requires less space and has lower assembly difficulty for the bushing 74 moving axially along the output shaft of the door opening / closing drive 72. After the insertion block 521 is located within the insertion slot 7222, pressing the bushing 74 achieves a stable connection between the insertion block 521 and the insertion slot 7222, facilitating installation in spaces with poor visibility and effectively improving assembly efficiency. Furthermore, the insertion block 521 of this application only needs to extend into the insertion slot 7222 from the opening, without requiring the insertion block 521 to engage with the inner wall of the insertion slot 7222, further reducing the installation difficulty of the door opening / closing 300.
[0151] Specifically, before the door 300 is assembled, the bushing 74 can be in the second position. Then, the plug block 521 is inserted into the plug slot 7222. Then, the bushing 74 is moved to the first position along the axial direction of the output shaft of the door drive 72 and sleeved on the part of the plug block 521, thereby achieving a stable connection between the door 300 and the door drive 72.
[0152] It should be noted that the axial direction of the output shaft of the drive component can be the length direction of the air outlet 202 (refer to the first direction shown in Figure 17); or, the axial direction of the output shaft of the drive component can be the width direction of the air outlet 202 (refer to the width direction shown in Figure 17). Figure 17 (The second direction shown).
[0153] According to the embodiment of the present invention, the drive component 500 has a plug-in block 521 in the switch door 300. The peripheral wall of the output shaft of the switch door drive component 72 has a plug-in groove 7222 for the plug-in block 521 to be inserted. The bushing 74 is movably sleeved on the output shaft of the switch door drive component 72 along the axial direction. The bushing 74 has a first position and a second position. When the plug-in block 521 is inserted into the plug-in groove 7222, in the first position, the bushing 74 is sleeved outside the part of the plug-in block 521, thereby fixing the plug-in block 521 in the plug-in groove 7222, ensuring a stable connection between the plug-in block 521 and the output shaft of the switch door drive component 72, thereby ensuring the stability and reliability of the switch door drive component 72 in driving the switch door 300 to rotate, and is convenient to operate and has high assembly efficiency. Meanwhile, in the second position, the bushing 74 and the plug block 521 are spaced apart along the axial direction of the output shaft of the door opening and closing drive 72, so that the plug block 521 can be removed from the plug slot 7222, thereby realizing the separation of the plug block 521 from the output shaft of the door opening and closing drive 72, which facilitates the disassembly, assembly and maintenance of the door opening and closing 300 or the drive component 500.
[0154] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 4-15 , Figure 19 and Figure 20 As shown, the door opening / closing drive 72 includes a drive motor 721 and an anti-electric shaft 722. The anti-electric shaft 722 is sleeved on the output shaft of the drive motor 721, and the anti-electric shaft 722 constitutes the output shaft of the door opening / closing drive 72. A insertion groove 7222 is formed on the anti-electric shaft 722.
[0155] Therefore, this configuration allows the torque output by the drive motor 721 to be transmitted to the switch door 300 via the anti-electric shaft 722, thereby driving the switch door 300 to rotate. Simultaneously, the anti-electric shaft 722, acting as an extension of the output shaft of the drive motor 721 and serving a transmission function, effectively and reliably transmits the torque output by the drive motor 721 to the switch door 300, ensuring the stability and reliability of the switch door 300's rotation.
[0156] Preferably, the anti-static shaft 722 is made of insulating material, which can solve the problems of static electricity on the output shaft of the drive motor 721 and damage to components such as the door opening and closing 300 when the power of the drive motor 721 suddenly increases. This can effectively improve the stability and reliability of the door opening and closing drive component 72 and extend its service life.
[0157] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 12 , Figure 19 and Figure 20As shown, the drive motor 721 and the bushing 74 are located on both sides of the anti-electric shaft 722 along the axial direction of the output shaft of the door opening and closing drive component 72. This arrangement avoids mutual interference between the drive motor 721 and the door opening and closing bracket 300, ensuring a reasonable overall structural design and effectively reducing assembly difficulty, thereby improving the assembly efficiency and production efficiency of the air outlet structure 1001.
[0158] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 7-15 , Figure 19 and Figure 20 As shown, the outer peripheral wall of the anti-electric shaft 722 has a first protrusion 7223, which extends along the circumferential direction of the anti-electric shaft 722. The inner wall surface of the bushing 74 has a snap-fit rib 741. In the first position, the snap-fit rib 741 abuts against the side of the first protrusion 7223 facing the drive motor 721.
[0159] Therefore, when the plug block 521 is inserted into the plug slot 7222, the snap rib 741 abuts against the side of the first protrusion 7223 facing the drive motor 721, so that the bushing 74 is sleeved outside the plug block 521, realizing that the bushing 74 is in the first position, thereby fixing the plug block 521 in the plug slot 7222 and ensuring a stable connection between the plug block 521 and the output shaft of the door opening and closing drive component 72. At the same time, the snap rib 741 abuts against the side of the first protrusion 7223 facing the drive motor 721, ensuring that the snap rib 741 and the first protrusion 7223 are fully engaged, further ensuring the fixing effect of the plug block 521, effectively preventing movement or shaking during use, and improving overall reliability.
[0160] In some embodiments, in the direction from the bushing 74 to the drive motor 721, the first protrusion 7223 is inclined in a direction away from the central axis of the anti-electric shaft 722. It is understood that the bushing 74 moves towards the drive motor 721 along the axial direction of the output shaft of the door opening / closing drive member 72, so that the bushing 74 moves to a first position. In the direction from the bushing 74 to the drive motor 721, the first protrusion 7223, inclined in a direction away from the central axis of the anti-electric shaft 722, serves a guiding function, facilitating the engagement of the snap-fit rib 741 with the side of the first protrusion 7223 facing the drive motor 721, reducing assembly difficulty and improving assembly efficiency.
[0161] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 7-15 , Figure 19 and Figure 20 As shown, the outer peripheral wall of the anti-electric shaft 722 has a second protrusion 7224, which extends along the circumferential direction of the anti-electric shaft 722. The inner wall surface of the bushing 74 has a snap-fit rib 741. In the second position, the snap-fit rib 741 abuts against the side of the second protrusion 7224 facing the drive motor 721.
[0162] Therefore, by abutting the snap rib 741 against the side of the second protrusion 7224 facing the drive motor 721, the bushing 74 is positioned in the second position, allowing the insertion block 521 to be removed from the insertion slot 7222. This disengages the insertion block 521 from the output shaft of the door opening / closing drive component 72, facilitating the disassembly and maintenance of the door opening / closing 300 or the drive component 500. Simultaneously, the bushing 74 moves axially towards the drive motor 721 along the output shaft of the door opening / closing drive component 72. The snap rib 741 abuts against the side of the second protrusion 7224 facing the drive motor 721, ensuring the bushing 74 is securely fastened to the anti-electric shaft 722, preventing loss of the bushing 74 during transport and improving overall reliability.
[0163] Furthermore, the second protrusion 7224 and the insertion slot 7222 are spaced apart along the axial direction of the output shaft of the door opening and closing drive component 72. Thus, when the insertion block 521 is inserted into the insertion slot 7222, the snap rib 741 abuts against the side of the second protrusion 7224 facing the drive motor 721, thereby separating the bushing 74 from the insertion block 521 along the axial direction of the output shaft of the door opening and closing drive component 72. This allows the insertion block 521 to be removed from the insertion slot 7222, thus separating the insertion block 521 from the output shaft of the door opening and closing drive component 72, facilitating the disassembly, assembly, and maintenance of the door opening and closing 300 or the drive component 500.
[0164] In some embodiments, in the direction from the bushing 74 to the drive motor 721, the second protrusion 7224 is inclined in a direction away from the central axis of the anti-electric shaft 722. Thus, the inclination of the second protrusion 7224 away from the central axis of the anti-electric shaft 722 in the direction from the bushing 74 to the drive motor 721 serves a guiding function, facilitating the contact between the snap rib 741 and the side of the second protrusion 7224 facing the drive motor 721, reducing assembly difficulty and improving assembly efficiency.
[0165] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 7-15 , Figure 19 and Figure 20 As shown, the outer peripheral wall of the anti-electric shaft 722 has a third protrusion 7225, which extends along the circumferential direction of the anti-electric shaft 722. The inner wall surface of the bushing 74 has a snap-fit rib 741. In the second position, the snap-fit rib 741 abuts against the side of the third protrusion 7225 away from the drive motor 721.
[0166] Therefore, by abutting the snap rib 741 against the side of the third protrusion 7225 away from the drive motor 721, the bushing 74 is positioned in the second position, allowing the insertion block 521 to be removed from the insertion slot 7222. This disengages the insertion block 521 from the output shaft of the door opening / closing drive component 72, facilitating the disassembly and maintenance of the door opening / closing 300 or the drive component 500. Simultaneously, the abutting of the snap rib 741 against the side of the third protrusion 7225 away from the drive motor 721 effectively ensures that the bushing 74 remains in the second position during transport and does not move towards the drive motor 721.
[0167] Furthermore, the third protrusion 7225 is spaced apart from the insertion slot 7222 along the axial direction of the output shaft of the door opening and closing drive 72. Thus, when the insertion block 521 is inserted into the insertion slot 7222, the bushing 74 and the insertion block 521 are spaced apart along the axial direction of the output shaft of the door opening and closing drive 72. This allows the insertion block 521 to be removed from the insertion slot 7222, thereby separating the insertion block 521 from the output shaft of the door opening and closing drive 72. This facilitates the disassembly, assembly, and maintenance of the door opening and closing 300 or the drive component 500.
[0168] In some embodiments, as Figures 7-15 , Figure 19 and Figure 20 As shown, the outer peripheral wall of the anti-electric shaft 722 has a first protrusion 7223, a second protrusion 7224, and a third protrusion 7225. The first protrusion 7223 is located on the side of the third protrusion 7225 closer to the drive motor 721, and the second protrusion 7224 is located on the side of the third protrusion 7225 away from the drive motor 721. The first protrusion 7223 extends along the circumferential direction of the anti-electric shaft 722 and is opposite to the insertion groove 7222. The second protrusion 7224 extends along the circumferential direction of the anti-electric shaft 722. The second protrusion 7224 and the insertion groove 7222 are located along the output of the door opening and closing drive member 72. The shafts are spaced apart in the axial direction. The inner wall of the bushing 74 has a snap-fit rib 741. The third protrusion 7225 extends in the circumferential direction of the anti-electric shaft 722. The third protrusion 7225 and the insertion groove 7222 are spaced apart in the axial direction of the output shaft of the door opening and closing drive member 72. In the first position, the snap-fit rib 741 and the first protrusion 7223 abut against the side of the drive motor 721. In the second position, the snap-fit rib 741 and the second protrusion 7224 abut against the side of the drive motor 721. The snap-fit rib 741 and the third protrusion 7225 abut against the side away from the drive motor 721.
[0169] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 9-11As shown, the snap-fit rib 741 is a single rib that extends in a ring along the circumferential direction of the bushing 74; or, there are multiple snap-fit ribs 741, which are arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the bushing 74. Thus, this arrangement achieves various structural forms of the snap-fit rib 741, allowing it to adapt to different application scenarios and improving the versatility of the drive component 500.
[0170] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the anti-electric shaft 722 includes a plug-in section 7226 and a guide section 7227. A plug-in groove 7222 is formed in the plug-in section 7226. The cross-sectional area of the guide section 7227 is smaller than that of the plug-in section 7226. The guide section 7227 is located on one side of the plug-in section 7226 along the axial direction of the output shaft of the door opening / closing drive member 72. The bushing 74 is movably fitted over the plug-in section 7226 and the guide section 7227. Thus, because the cross-sectional area of the guide section 7227 is smaller than that of the plug-in section 7226, it plays a guiding role during the process of the bushing 74 being fitted over the anti-electric shaft 722, so that the bushing 74 can be movably fitted over the plug-in section 7226 and the guide section 7227.
[0171] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 7 As shown, the anti-electric shaft 722 also includes a motor section 7228. The motor section 7228 is located on the side of the insertion section 7226 away from the guide section 7227. The motor section 7228 is sleeved on the output shaft of the drive motor 721. The end of the motor section 7228 away from the insertion section 7226 has an anti-electric shaft flange 7229 extending in a direction away from the central axis of the anti-electric shaft 722. The anti-electric shaft flange 7229 extends along the circumferential direction of the motor section 7228. Thus, by sleeved on the output shaft of the drive motor 721, the torque output by the drive motor 721 can be stably and reliably transmitted to the anti-electric shaft 722, improving overall reliability. Meanwhile, the drive bracket 71 has a motor hole 7111, the output shaft of the drive motor 721 is along the axial direction of the output shaft of the door opening and closing drive component 72 and passes through the motor hole 7111, the anti-electric shaft 722 passes through the motor hole 7111 and the anti-electric shaft flange 7229 abuts against the wall of the motor hole 7111 facing the drive motor 721, thereby fixing the anti-electric shaft 722 on the drive bracket 71.
[0172] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 7 and Figure 15As shown, the width of the insertion groove 7222 gradually increases in the direction from the bottom wall 7330 of the insertion groove to the open opening of the insertion groove 7222. Therefore, as the insertion block 521 extends into the insertion groove 7222, the gradually increasing width of the insertion groove 7222 provides a guiding effect in the direction from the bottom wall 7330 of the insertion groove to the open opening of the insertion groove 7222, effectively reducing assembly difficulty and improving assembly efficiency.
[0173] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 7 , Figure 19 and Figure 20 As shown, the width of the insertion groove 7222 gradually increases from the first position to the second position of the bushing 74. This arrangement effectively prevents the insertion block 521 located within the insertion groove 7222 from becoming loose, providing a certain degree of restraint to the insertion block 521, further ensuring that the bushing 74 is stably and reliably fitted onto the insertion block 521 in the first position, thus guaranteeing the reliability of the door 300's rotation.
[0174] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 12 and Figure 13 As shown, the drive component 500 also includes a drive bracket 71. The drive bracket 71 is connected to the air outlet frame 20, and the door opening / closing drive component 72 is connected to the drive bracket 71. This arrangement allows the drive bracket 71 to provide support and fixation for the door opening / closing drive component 72, improving the installation position of each component of the door opening / closing drive component 72 and further ensuring the reliability and stability of the door opening / closing drive component 72 in driving the door 300 to rotate.
[0175] The air outlet structure 1001 of this utility model embodiment is described below.
[0176] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figures 16-22 As shown, the air outlet structure 1001 according to an embodiment of the present utility model includes an air outlet frame 20, a switch door 300, and a drive component 500. The air outlet frame 20 has an air outlet 202. The switch door 300 is rotatably disposed at the air outlet 202 and is used to open or close the air outlet 202. The switch door 300 has a plug-in block 521. The drive component 500 is located on one side of the length direction of the air outlet 202, and part of the plug-in block 521 is located in the plug-in groove 7222.
[0177] According to the air outlet structure 1001 of this utility model embodiment, a drive component 500 is provided. The switch door 300 has a plug-in block 521. The peripheral wall of the output shaft of the switch door drive component 72 has a plug-in groove 7222 for the plug-in block 521 to be inserted. The bushing 74 is movably sleeved on the output shaft of the switch door drive component 72 along the axial direction. The bushing 74 has a first position and a second position. When the plug-in block 521 is inserted into the plug-in groove 7222, in the first position, the bushing 74 is sleeved outside the part of the plug-in block 521, thereby fixing the plug-in block 521 in the plug-in groove 7222, ensuring a stable connection between the plug-in block 521 and the output shaft of the switch door drive component 72, thereby ensuring the stability and reliability of the switch door drive component 72 in driving the switch door 300 to rotate, and is convenient to operate and has high assembly efficiency. Meanwhile, in the second position, the bushing 74 and the plug block 521 are spaced apart along the axial direction of the output shaft of the door opening and closing drive 72, so that the plug block 521 can be removed from the plug slot 7222, thereby separating the plug block 521 from the output shaft of the door opening and closing drive 72, which facilitates the disassembly and maintenance of the air outlet structure 1001.
[0178] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 18-21 , Figure 33 , Figure 45 and Figure 46 As shown, the air outlet structure 1001 also includes an air guide grille 200, which is rotatably disposed at the air outlet 202. The air guide grille 200 rotates coaxially with the switch door 300. When the switch door 300 closes the air outlet 202, the switch door 300 is located downstream of the air guide grille 200 along the airflow direction.
[0179] Understandably, when the air outlet structure 1001 is supplying air, the door can be rotated to open the air outlet 202 to ensure airflow and reduce air volume loss. The door 300 also guides the airflow direction, expanding the air supply angle and range of the air outlet structure 1001. Simultaneously, the air guide grille 200 rotates to guide the airflow and change its direction, achieving air supply at different angles and increasing the air supply angle and range to effectively meet different user needs. When the air outlet structure 1001 is closed, the door 300 can be rotated to close the air outlet 202, providing a dust-proof effect to ensure the cleanliness of the interior of the air outlet structure 1001 and the air guide grille 200.
[0180] Furthermore, by rotating the door 300 and the air guide grille 200 coaxially, that is, by having the rotation axes of the door 300 and the air guide grille 200 coincide, space is effectively utilized, and the volume of the air outlet structure 1001 and the air conditioner 1000 using the air outlet structure 1001 is reduced.
[0181] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figures 14-17 As shown, the door 300 includes a door body 51 and a pivot arm 52. The pivot arm 52 is located on one side of the door body 51 in the thickness direction, and the end of the pivot arm 52 away from the door body 51 forms a plug block 521.
[0182] Therefore, by setting the pivot arm 52, the distance between the door body 51 and the output shaft of the door opening and closing drive component 72 is extended, which facilitates the connection between the door opening and closing 300 and the anti-electric shaft 722, reduces assembly difficulty, and thus improves the assembly efficiency and production efficiency of the air outlet structure 1001. At the same time, the output shaft of the door opening and closing drive component 72 drives the door opening and closing 300 through the pivot arm 52, ensuring the stability and reliability of the door opening and closing the air outlet 202.
[0183] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 15 As shown, the width of the plug-in block 521 gradually decreases in the direction in which it is inserted into the plug-in slot 7222. Therefore, this design provides a guiding effect as the plug-in block 521 extends into the plug-in slot 7222, effectively reducing assembly difficulty and improving assembly efficiency.
[0184] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 16 and Figure 17 As shown, the door body 51 is provided with a plurality of spaced micro-holes 511. Thus, when the airflow flows through the door body 51 with micro-holes 511, the micro-holes 511 can disperse and refine the airflow, making the airflow into a finer airflow. The airflow can become more uniform, delicate and gentle, which is conducive to achieving the windless airflow effect of the air outlet structure 1001 and the air conditioner 1000 using the air outlet structure 1001, thereby improving the user experience.
[0185] For example, when a user needs cooling but doesn't want to be exposed to drafts, they can activate the windless mode of the air conditioner 1000. When the air conditioner 1000 is in windless mode, the door body 51 can close the air outlet 202. The airflow flows from the air outlet duct 201 inside the casing 1005 to the air outlet 202 and then passes through the door body 51 before being blown out. The airflow is dispersed by the micropores 511, forming a diffused airflow, which increases the turbulence during airflow and reduces the airflow velocity, improving the smoothness of the airflow and thus enhancing the comfort of the airflow. This prevents the airflow from blowing directly onto the user after exiting the air outlet 202, achieving the windless airflow effect of the air conditioner 1000, enriching the airflow effects of the air conditioner 1000, and ultimately meeting different user needs, improving user comfort and experience.
[0186] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 17 As shown, one end of the door body 51 along the length of the air outlet 202 has a baffle 512. The baffle 512 is located on the same side of the pivot arm 52 along the thickness of the door body 51. The baffle 512 is used to seal the gap between the door body 51 and the inner wall of the air outlet 202. Thus, by sealing the gap between the door body 51 and the inner wall of the air outlet 202 with the baffle 512, debris is effectively prevented from entering the air outlet 202 through the gap between the door body 51 and the inner wall of the air outlet 202, ensuring the reliability of the air outlet structure 1001.
[0187] For example, when the air outlet structure 1001 is applied to the air conditioner 1000, the air conditioner 1000 includes a top cover 1002. Along the length of the air outlet 202, the top cover 1002 and the baffle 512 are located on the same side. The baffle 512 and the top cover 1002 are spliced together to block the gap between the door body 51 and the inner wall of the air outlet 202.
[0188] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 18-22 As shown, the drive component 500 also includes a drive bracket 71 and a louver drive component 73. The air outlet structure 1001 also includes an air guide grille 200 and a louver assembly 10. The air guide grille 200 is rotatably disposed at the air outlet 202. The drive component 500 is located on one side of the length direction of the air outlet 202. The drive bracket 71 is connected to the air outlet frame 20, and the air guide grille 200 is rotatably connected to the drive bracket 71 for adjusting the air delivery direction in the width direction of the air outlet 202. By rotatably connecting the air guide grille 200 to the drive bracket 71, the air guide grille 200 can be connected to the air outlet frame 20. While supporting and fixing the air guide grille 200, it is allowed to rotate around its rotation axis. This ensures the structural stability of the air outlet structure 1001 and enables the air outlet structure 1001 to deliver air at different angles in the width direction of the air outlet 202.
[0189] Specifically, the air guide grille 200 and its rotation axis extend along the length of the air outlet 202. Thus, the grille body 41 can rotate around the rotation axis extending along the length of the air outlet 202. When airflow flows into the air outlet duct 201 and passes through the air guide grille 200, the air guide grille 200 can guide the airflow and change its direction in the width direction of the air outlet 202. This allows the air conditioner 1000 to deliver air at different angles in the width direction of the air outlet 202 to meet the user's air supply needs. It can also increase the air supply angle and range in the width direction of the air outlet 202, achieving wide-angle air supply in the air outlet structure 1001, thereby improving the air supply effect of the air outlet structure 1001 and enhancing user comfort and experience.
[0190] The drive bracket 71 is connected to the air outlet frame 20 and the door opening / closing drive component 72 respectively. The door opening / closing 300 can be connected to the output shaft of the door opening / closing drive component 72, so that the door opening / closing 300 is connected to the air outlet frame 20, allowing the door opening / closing 300 to rotate around its rotation axis while supporting and fixing it. When the air conditioner 1000 is supplying air, the door opening / closing 300 can rotate to the position where the air outlet 202 is open to ensure airflow and reduce air volume loss; when the air conditioner 1000 is closed, the door opening / closing 300 can rotate to the position where the air outlet 202 is closed, which can play a dust prevention role to ensure the cleanliness of the air conditioner 1000. It should be noted that when the door opening / closing 300 closes the air outlet 202, the air guide grille 200 is located inside the door opening / closing 300, which can ensure the aesthetic appearance of the air conditioner 1000.
[0191] Furthermore, the louver assembly 10 is disposed within the air outlet duct 201, and the louver drive component 73 is connected to the drive bracket 71 to drive the louver assembly 10 to adjust the air delivery direction along the length of the air outlet 202. The drive bracket 71 is connected to both the air outlet frame 20 and the louver drive component 73. The louver assembly 10 can be connected to the output shaft of the louver drive component 73, thus connecting the louver assembly 10 to the air outlet frame 20. While supporting and fixing the louver assembly 10, it also guides the airflow and changes the air delivery direction along the length of the air outlet 202. This allows the air conditioner 1000 to deliver air at different angles along the length of the air outlet 202 to meet the user's air delivery needs. It can also increase the air delivery angle and range along the length of the air outlet 202, achieving wide-angle air delivery of the air outlet structure 1001, thereby improving the air delivery effect of the air outlet structure 1001 and enhancing the user's comfort and experience.
[0192] In this application, a structure allowing the air guide grille 200 to rotate is provided on the drive bracket 71. Simultaneously, the door opening / closing drive component 72 and the louver drive component 73 are connected to the drive bracket 71. This allows the components that drive the door opening / closing 300 and the louver assembly 10, as well as the components that cooperate with the air guide grille 200, to be integrated onto the drive component 500. This effectively improves the integration of the drive component 500, reduces the number of parts used to drive or cooperate with the movement of different moving parts of the air outlet structure 1001, thereby reducing the installation difficulty of the drive component 500 and simplifying the assembly process. This improves the assembly efficiency and production efficiency of the air outlet structure 1001, thus helping to reduce production costs. It also helps to reduce the space occupied by the drive component 500, improves the space utilization of the air outlet duct 201 and the air outlet 202, and thus helps to reduce the volume occupied by the air outlet structure 1001.
[0193] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 23-29 As shown, the drive bracket 71 includes a bracket body 711, a motor hole 7111 on the bracket body 711, a door opening and closing drive component 72 connected to the bracket body 711, and the output shaft of the door opening and closing drive component 72 passes through the motor hole 7111 and is connected to the door opening and closing 300.
[0194] Understandably, the output shaft of the door opening / closing drive 72 is connected to the door opening / closing mechanism 300 to provide driving force for the rotation of the door opening / closing mechanism 300. This enables the door opening / closing mechanism 300 to automatically open and close the air outlet 202, facilitating user operation and meeting user needs. Simultaneously, the bracket body 711 is connected to the door opening / closing drive 72, thus connecting the door opening / closing mechanism 300 to the bracket body 711, providing fixation and support for the door opening / closing mechanism 300. The bracket body 711 is positioned perpendicular to the length direction of the air outlet 202, and the motor hole 7111 penetrates the bracket body 711 along its thickness direction, allowing the output shaft of the door opening / closing drive 72 to extend along the length direction of the air outlet 202. This ensures that the door opening / closing mechanism 300 rotates around a rotation axis extending along the length direction of the air outlet 202, thereby guaranteeing the effective opening or closing of the air outlet 202.
[0195] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 23-29 As shown, a motor stud 7112 is provided on the side of the bracket body 711 near the drive motor 721 in the thickness direction. The drive motor 721 is connected to the motor stud 7112 by fasteners. This ensures the connection stability between the drive motor 721 and the bracket body 711, and also allows for a detachable connection between the drive motor 721 and the bracket body 711, facilitating subsequent maintenance and repair, thereby reducing maintenance costs.
[0196] like Figure 23 and Figure 29 As shown in the example, the drive motor 721 is provided with a first threaded hole 7211. An operator can pass fasteners such as bolts through the first threaded hole 7211 and screw them into the motor studs 7112 to complete the fixed connection between the drive motor 721 and the bracket body 711. The operation is simple and convenient, improving the assembly efficiency of the drive component 500. There are multiple motor studs 7112, and multiple first threaded holes 7211 corresponding one-to-one with the multiple motor studs 7112. This allows for fixed connections between the drive motor 721 and the bracket body 711 at multiple points, enhancing the connection stability between the drive motor 721 and the bracket body 711, and dispersing stress at the connection point, thereby extending the service life of the drive motor 721 and the bracket body 711.
[0197] Specifically, if Figure 23 and Figure 29As shown, there are two motor studs 7112 and two first threaded holes 7211. Of course, the number of motor studs 7112 and the number of first threaded holes 7211 can also be three, four, etc. This application does not make a specific limitation on this.
[0198] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 23-29 , Figure 31 and Figure 32 As shown, the drive bracket 71 also includes a grille mounting structure 712, which is connected to the bracket body 711 and located on one side of the bracket body 711 along the length of the air outlet 202. The air guide grille 200 includes a grille body 41 and a first mounting component 42. The grille body 41 extends along the length of the air outlet 202, and the first mounting component 42 is located at one end of the grille body 41 along its length and on one side of the grille body 41 along its thickness. The first mounting component 42 is rotatably connected to the grille mounting structure 712.
[0199] Understandably, by providing a first mounting component 42 on one side of the grille body 41 in the thickness direction, it is convenient to connect one side of the air guide grille 200 in the thickness direction to the drive bracket 71. This reduces the installation difficulty of the air guide grille 200 and also ensures the aesthetics of the side of the air guide grille 200 facing away from the first mounting component 42 in the thickness direction. At the same time, the first mounting component 42 is rotatably connected to the grille mounting structure 712, which ensures the rotatability of the air guide grille 200 relative to the drive bracket 71. While supporting and fixing the air guide grille 200, it allows the air guide grille 200 to rotate around its rotation axis, thereby ensuring the structural stability of the air outlet structure 1001 and enabling the air guide grille 200 to guide the airflow and adjust the air delivery direction in the width direction of the air outlet 202.
[0200] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 18-32 As shown, the grille mounting structure 712 is provided with a first rotating hole 7124, and the first mounting component 42 includes a first mounting plate 421 and an inner ring portion 422. The first mounting plate 421 is connected to the grille body 41, and the inner ring portion 422 is annular with one end in the axial direction connected to one side in the thickness direction of the first mounting plate 421. The inner ring portion 422 is rotatably disposed in the first rotating hole 7124.
[0201] It is understood that the first mounting plate 421 is perpendicular to the grille body 41, one end of the first mounting plate 421 is connected to the grille body 41, and the other end of the first mounting plate 421 extends toward the end opposite to the grille body 41. The inner ring portion 422 is located on the lower side of the first mounting plate 421, and the other end of the annular inner ring portion 422 extends downward in the axial direction. The first rotating hole 7124 also extends along the length direction of the air outlet 202. Thus, the inner ring portion 422 can cooperate with the first rotating hole 7124 to form a rotating connection. The structure is simple and easy to implement. This allows the air guide grille 200 to rotate around the axis of the inner ring portion 422 at the air outlet 202, thereby enabling the air guide grille 200 to guide the airflow and adjust the air delivery direction in the width direction of the air outlet 202.
[0202] In addition, by setting the first mounting plate 421 and the inner ring 422, it is convenient for the operator to directly snap the inner ring 422 into the first rotating hole 7124 from top to bottom, thereby realizing the rotational connection between the grille body 41 and the grille mounting structure 712. The installation is convenient and the operation is simple, which can effectively improve the assembly efficiency of the drive component 500.
[0203] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 18-32 As shown, the grille mounting structure 712 is provided with an annular boss 7123, which surrounds the first rotating hole 7124. The first mounting assembly 42 also includes an outer ring portion 423, which is annular and one end of which is connected to the first mounting plate 421 in the axial direction. The outer ring portion 423 is sleeved outside the inner ring portion 422 and spaced apart from the inner ring portion 422. The annular boss 7123 is located between the inner ring portion 422 and the outer ring portion 423.
[0204] It is understandable that the outer ring portion 423 is located on the lower side of the first mounting plate 421 and sleeved outside the inner ring portion 422. The outer ring portion 423, which is spaced apart from the inner ring portion 422, can play a limiting role. When the operator inserts the inner ring portion 422 into the first rotating hole 7124 from top to bottom, the outer ring portion 423 can limit the annular boss 7123 between the outer ring portion 423 and the inner ring portion 422, thereby ensuring the connection stability between the first connecting portion and the annular boss 7123, and thus improving the stability of the air guide grille 200 rotating and guiding the airflow in the width direction of the air outlet 202.
[0205] Furthermore, the inner peripheral wall of the outer ring portion 423 is provided with a rotating rib 4231, and the outer peripheral wall of the annular boss 7123 is provided with a rotating positioning rib 7125. Along the circumferential direction of the outer ring portion 423, the rotating rib 4231 can abut against the rotating positioning rib 7125. When the inner ring portion 422 and the annular boss 7123 rotate relative to each other, the distance between the rotating rib 4231 and the rotating positioning rib 7125 along the circumferential direction of the inner ring portion 422 changes. When the rotating rib 4231 abuts against the rotating positioning rib 7125, the inner ring portion 422 stops rotating, which can achieve the functions of positioning and limiting, thereby limiting the rotation range of the air guide grille 200 at the air outlet 202, avoiding unnecessary rotation of the air guide grille 200, ensuring the effective air guidance of the air guide grille 200, and thus improving the reliability of the air guide grille 200 in the width direction of the air outlet 202.
[0206] Specifically, if Figure 27 As shown, the annular boss 7123 has two rotating positioning ribs 7125 on its outer peripheral wall. When the annular boss 7123 is located between the outer ring portion 423 and the inner ring portion 422, the rotating rib 4231 is placed between the two rotating positioning ribs 7125 along the circumferential direction of the inner ring portion 422. Thus, when the inner ring portion 422 rotates, the rotating rib 4231 rotates between the two rotating positioning ribs 7125 along the circumferential direction of the inner ring portion 422. When the rotating rib 4231 abuts against one of the rotating positioning ribs 7125, the inner ring portion 422 stops rotating. The two rotating positioning ribs 7125 can position and limit the rotation of the annular boss 7123 in two directions, thereby limiting the rotation range of the air guide grille 200 at the air outlet 202 in two directions.
[0207] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 18-32 As shown, the first rotating hole 7124 and the motor hole 7111 are coaxially arranged. The air guide grille 200 rotates around the axis of the first rotating hole 7124, and the door 300 rotates around the axis of the motor hole 7111, thereby enabling the door 300 and the air guide grille 200 to rotate coaxially.
[0208] In other words, the rotation axis of the switch door 300 coincides with the rotation axis of the air guide grille 200. When the switch door 300 closes the air outlet 202, the air guide grille 200 is located inside the switch door 300. Therefore, the rotation trajectory of the switch door 300 and the air guide grille 200 can always remain concentric circles with different radii. Thus, the switch door 300 and the air guide grille 200 can avoid mutual interference during rotation. This facilitates the normal rotation of the switch door 300 and the air guide grille, preventing accidental collisions when the switch door 300 and the air guide grille 200 are driven separately. This ensures the stability and reliability of the drive component 500 and the air outlet structure 1001, reduces the risk of damage to the air outlet structure 1001, and ultimately helps extend the service life of the air outlet structure 1001.
[0209] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 23-29 As shown, the grille mounting structure 712 includes: a first grille frame 7121 and a second grille frame 7122. The first grille frame 7121 and the bracket body 711 are spaced apart along the length of the air outlet 202. One end of the second grille frame 7122 is connected to the first grille frame 7121, and the other end is connected to the bracket body 711. The first grille frame 7121 and the second grille frame 7122 are at an angle to each other.
[0210] Understandably, the first mounting component 42 is rotatably connected to the first grille frame 7121, supporting and fixing the air guide grille 200 while ensuring the rotational flexibility of the air guide grille 200 relative to the drive bracket 71. The first grille frame 7121 and the bracket body 711 are spaced apart along the length of the air outlet 202, thus providing clearance and facilitating the connection between the door 300 and the door opening / closing drive component 72. Furthermore, when the door opening / closing drive component 72 drives the door 300 to rotate, the space between the first grille frame 7121 and the bracket body 711 prevents collisions and interference between the door 300 and the grille mounting structure 712. This reasonable structural design ensures the stability and reliability of the drive component 500 and the air outlet structure 1001. In addition, the second grille frame 7122 serves as a connector, ensuring that the first grille frame 7121 is fixed to the bracket body 711, thereby guaranteeing the structural rationality and stability of the drive bracket 71.
[0211] For example, such as Figure 28As shown, the first grid frame 7121 has an annular boss 7123 on the side opposite to the support body 711. The annular boss 7123 is annular and defines a first rotating hole 7124, which passes through the first grid frame 7121. The first mounting assembly 42 includes a first mounting plate 421 and an inner ring portion 422. The first mounting plate 421 is connected to the grid body 41. The inner ring portion 422 is annular and one end in the axial direction is connected to one side in the thickness direction of the first mounting plate 421. The inner ring portion 422 is rotatably disposed in the first rotating hole 7124, thus realizing a rotatable connection between the first mounting assembly 42 and the first grid frame 7121. The door 300 includes a door body 51 and a pivot arm 52. The pivot arm 52 is located on one side of the door body 51 in the thickness direction. The pivot arm 52 is located between the support body 711 and the first grille frame 7121 and is connected to the door opening and closing drive component 72. Therefore, the space between the first grille frame 7121 and the support body 711 can prevent the pivot arm 52 from colliding and interfering with the grille mounting structure 712 when the door body 51 rotates, thereby ensuring the stability and reliability of the door opening and closing 300 rotation.
[0212] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 23-29 As shown, the drive bracket 71 also includes a louver mounting structure 713, which is connected to the bracket body 711 and located on the side of the bracket body 711 facing away from the installation position of the air guide grille 200 along the length direction of the air outlet 202. The louver drive component 73 is mounted on the louver mounting structure 713. The louver mounting structure 713 can fix the louver drive component 73 used to drive the louver assembly 10 to the drive bracket 71. Along the length direction of the air outlet 202, the installation position of the louver assembly 10 is spaced apart from the installation position of the air guide grille 200, such as... Figure 4 As shown, the louver mounting structure 713 is located below the bracket body 711, and the position where the air guide grille 200 is rotatably connected to the drive bracket 71 is located above the bracket body 711. This can avoid mutual interference between the louver assembly 10 and the air guide grille 200 during movement, thereby ensuring the stability and reliability of the drive component 500 and the air outlet structure 1001. The structure is reasonably arranged.
[0213] The louver assembly 10 includes a connecting rod 1 and multiple louvers 2. The connecting rod 1 extends along the length of the air outlet 202, and the multiple louvers 2 are spaced apart along the length of the air outlet 202 and are all rotatably connected to the connecting rod 1. The louver drive component 73 is connected to the connecting rod 1 and is used to drive the connecting rod 1 to move along the length of the air outlet 202. The louver assembly 10 is located inside the air outlet duct 201 and is located upstream of the air guide grille 200 along the airflow direction. The connecting rod 1 extends along the length of the air outlet 202, and the louver drive component 73 drives the connecting rod 1 to move along the length of the air outlet 202, which can drive the louvers 2 to rotate around a rotation axis extending along the width direction of the air outlet 202, thereby guiding the airflow in the length direction of the air outlet 202. In addition, there are multiple louvers 2 spaced apart along the length of the air outlet 202. All louvers 2 are rotatably connected to the connecting rod 1, which can realize the synchronous rotation of multiple louvers 2. The airflow in the air outlet duct 201 flows out after being guided by multiple louvers 2, which can improve the uniformity of air supply in the air outlet structure 1001 along the length of the air outlet 202, thereby better meeting the user's needs.
[0214] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 23-27 As shown, the louver drive component 73 includes a louver motor 731, a louver gear 732, and a rack 31. The louver motor 731 is connected to the louver mounting structure 713, the louver gear 732 is connected to the output shaft of the louver motor 731, and the rack 31 extends along the length direction of the air outlet 202 and is movably mounted on the louver mounting structure 713. The rack 31 is connected to the connecting rod 1 and meshes with the louver gear 732. Thus, when the louver motor 731 is energized, the output shaft of the louver motor 731 rotates, thereby driving the louver gear 732 to rotate. Through the meshing of the louver gear 732 and the rack 31, the louver gear 732 rotates, causing the rack 31 to move along the length direction of the air outlet 202, thereby driving multiple louvers 2 to rotate around a rotation axis extending along the width direction of the air outlet 202. This enables the louvers 2 to guide the airflow along the length direction of the air outlet 202.
[0215] The mechanical transmission system composed of the louver motor 731, louver gear 732, and rack 31 has a simple structure and stable transmission, which can ensure the operational stability and reliability of the louver drive component 73. The louver motor 731, through the louver gear 732 and rack 31, can precisely control the moving distance of the connecting rod 1 and the rotation angle of the louver 2, thereby achieving fine adjustment of the air outlet direction along the length of the air outlet 202.
[0216] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 23-29As shown, the louver mounting structure 713 includes a rack guide rail 7131 and a motor base 7133. The rack guide rail 7131 extends along the length of the air outlet 202, and one end of the rack guide rail 7131 is connected to the bracket body 711. The rack guide rail 7131 has a rack cavity 7132, which extends through the rack guide rail 7131 along its length. At least a portion of the rack 31 passes through the rack cavity 7132. The motor base 7133 is connected to the rack guide rail 7131, and the motor base 7133 has a gear cavity 7134, which communicates with the rack cavity 7132. The louver gear 732 is located in the gear cavity 7134.
[0217] Understandably, the rack guide rail 7131 is cylindrical and passes through the bracket body 711. The rack cavity 7132 extends along the length of the air outlet 202 and passes through the rack guide rail 7131. This facilitates the rack 31 passing through the rack guide rail 7131 and allowing it to move flexibly within the rack cavity 7132 along the length of the air outlet 202. Simultaneously, the motor base 7133 is connected to the outer wall of the rack guide rail 7131, and the louver gear 732 is located within the gear cavity 7134 of the motor base 7133. By connecting the gear cavity 7134 with the rack cavity 7132, the louver gear 732 and the rack 31 can mesh, thus ensuring the transmission stability of the louver drive component 73. The structure is compact and rationally designed.
[0218] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 23-29 As shown, the louver mounting structure 713 also includes multiple motor screw posts 7135, which are connected to the rack and pinion guide rail 7131. Along the length of the rack and pinion guide rail 7131, multiple motor screw posts 7135 are located on both sides of the motor base 7133. The louver motor 731 is connected to the motor screw posts 7135 via fasteners. This ensures both the stability of the connection between the louver motor 731 and the rack and pinion guide rail 7131 and allows for a detachable connection, facilitating subsequent maintenance and repair, thereby reducing maintenance costs.
[0219] like Figure 23 and Figure 29As shown, the louver motor 731 is provided with a second threaded hole 7311. Operators can pass fasteners such as bolts through the second threaded hole 7311 and screw them into the motor screw post 7135 to complete the fixed connection between the louver motor 731 and the rack guide rail 7131. This operation is simple and convenient, improving the assembly efficiency of the drive component 500. There are multiple motor screw posts 7135, and multiple second threaded holes 7311 corresponding one-to-one with the multiple motor screw posts 7135. This allows for fixed connections between the louver motor 731 and the rack guide rail 7131 at multiple points, enhancing the connection stability between the louver motor 731 and the rack guide rail 7131, and dispersing the stress at the connection point, thereby extending the service life of the louver motor 731 and the rack guide rail 7131. Multiple motor screw posts 7135 are located on both sides of the motor base 7133 along the length of the air outlet 202, facilitating the installation of the louver motor 731.
[0220] Specifically, if Figure 23 and Figure 29 As shown, there are two motor screw posts 7135 and two threaded holes 7311. Of course, the number of motor screw posts 7135 and two threaded holes 7311 can also be three, four, etc., and this application does not make a specific limitation on this.
[0221] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 29 and Figure 30 As shown, the air outlet frame 20 is provided with a mounting hole 209, and at least a portion of the drive bracket 71 is located within the mounting hole 209. The shape of the mounting hole 209 is the same as the shape of the bracket body 711. Specifically, the mounting hole 209 is a cavity that can accommodate the drive bracket 71. The shape of the mounting hole 209 is the same as the shape of the bracket body 711, that is, the sidewall of the mounting hole 209 matches the edge of the bracket body 711 in the circumferential direction, which facilitates the installation and fixation of the drive bracket 71 on the air outlet frame 20. Moreover, the sidewall of the mounting hole 209 can play a positioning and limiting role for the bracket body 711, which is beneficial to improving the stability and reliability of the air outlet structure 1001.
[0222] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 28-30 As shown, the inner wall of the mounting hole 209 has a drive stud 2015, and the bracket body 711 is connected to the drive stud 2015 by fasteners. This ensures the connection stability between the bracket body 711 and the air outlet frame 20, and also allows for a detachable connection between the bracket body 711 and the air outlet frame 20, facilitating subsequent maintenance and repair, thereby reducing maintenance costs.
[0223] like Figures 28-30As shown, the bracket body 711 is provided with a third threaded hole 7113. Operators can pass fasteners such as bolts through the third threaded hole 7113 and screw them into the drive studs 2015 to complete the fixed connection between the bracket body 711 and the air outlet frame 20. This operation is simple and convenient, improving the assembly efficiency of the drive component 500. There are multiple drive studs 2015, and multiple third threaded holes 7113 corresponding one-to-one with the multiple drive studs 2015. This allows for fixed connections between the bracket body 711 and the air outlet frame 20 at multiple points, enhancing the connection stability between them and dispersing stress at the connection point, thereby extending the service life of both the bracket body 711 and the air outlet frame 20.
[0224] Specifically, if Figures 28-30 As shown, there are two drive studs 2015 and two third threaded holes 7113. Of course, the number of drive studs 2015 and three threaded holes 7113 can also be three, four, etc. This application does not make a specific limitation on this.
[0225] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 28-30 As shown, the air outlet frame 20 is also provided with a boss 2016. The boss 2016 is located on one side of the mounting hole 209 in the axial direction. The boss 2016 is provided with a rack hole 2017 and a rack protrusion 2018. The rack protrusion 2018 is located on one side of the thickness direction of the boss 2016 and extends along the circumferential direction of the rack hole 2017. One end of the rack guide rail 7131 facing away from the bracket body 711 is adapted to abut against the boss 2016 and be sleeved on the rack protrusion 2018. The rack 31 passes through the rack hole 2017.
[0226] Understandably, in the specific implementation process, the air outlet 202 extends in the vertical direction, the boss 2016 is located below the mounting hole 209, the drive bracket 71 is adapted to be located above the boss 2016, and the rack hole 2017 passes through the boss 2016 in the vertical direction, so that the rack 31 passing through the rack guide rail 7131 can pass through the boss 2016 through the rack hole 2017 to connect with the connecting rod 1. The structure is reasonably arranged.
[0227] Furthermore, a rack protrusion 2018 extending circumferentially along the rack hole 2017 is located on the side of the boss 2016 near the rack guide rail 7131. This allows the end of the rack guide rail 7131 facing away from the bracket body 711 to abut against the boss 2016 and be fitted over the rack protrusion 2018. The rack protrusion 2018 serves a positioning and limiting function. When installing the drive bracket 71 onto the air outlet frame 20, it can be pre-positioned using the rack protrusion 2018 and the rack guide rail 7131 before the bracket body 711 is fixedly connected to the air outlet frame 20. This effectively reduces installation difficulty and improves assembly efficiency. The limiting effect of the rack protrusion 2018 on the rack guide rail 7131 also helps improve the connection stability between the drive bracket 71 and the air outlet frame 20, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the air outlet structure 1001.
[0228] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 28-32 As shown, along the length of the air outlet 202, the door opening / closing drive component 72 and the louver drive component 73 are completely housed within the mounting hole 209. In this way, the sidewall of the mounting hole 209 can shield and protect the door opening / closing drive component 72 and the louver drive component 73, preventing cold air from entering the mounting hole 209 and causing condensation on their surfaces. This effectively extends the service life of the door opening / closing drive component 72 and the louver drive component 73, while also improving the stability and reliability of the drive component 500.
[0229] In some embodiments of this utility model, the drive bracket 71 is a POM (Polymer Oxide Material). POM components have a low coefficient of friction and excellent wear resistance, which is beneficial for the rotational connection between the drive bracket 71 and the air guide grille 200, reducing friction loss and wear, thereby improving the service life of both the drive bracket 71 and the air guide grille 200. Furthermore, the high hardness of POM components provides good strength and rigidity, which helps the drive bracket 71 withstand heavy loads and impacts, thus enhancing the overall stability and reliability of the drive component 500.
[0230] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 5 , Figure 18 and Figure 33 As shown, the door 300 also includes a connecting arm 54, which is located on the same side of the door body 51 in the thickness direction. The connecting arm 54 and the pivot arm 52 are spaced apart along the length direction of the air outlet 202, and the connecting arm 54 is rotatably connected to the air outlet frame 20.
[0231] Understandably, since the door body 51 is a relatively long part and is located at the air outlet 202, the door opening and closing drive component 72 drives the pivot arm 52 to rotate so that the door 300 can rotate at the air outlet 202. It is also rotatably connected to the air outlet frame 20 through the connecting arm 54, which further increases the support of the air outlet frame 20 for the door body 51, ensuring that the door 300 rotates stably and reliably, and improving the overall reliability.
[0232] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 5 , Figure 18 and Figure 33 As shown, the connecting arm 54 has a connecting arm body 541 at one end away from the door body 51. The connecting arm body 541 is connected to one side of the door body 51 in the thickness direction. The connecting arm body 541 is provided with a limiting ring 542, which is an open ring. The air outlet 202 is provided with a middle support part 40. The two ends of the length direction of the middle support part 40 are respectively connected to the two walls in the width direction of the air outlet 202. The middle support part 40 is spaced apart from the two ends in the length direction of the air outlet 202. The middle support part 40 is provided with a connecting hole 401. The air outlet structure 1001 also includes a rotary bearing. Part of the rotary bearing passes through the connecting hole 401. The limiting ring 542 is sleeved on the outer peripheral wall of the rotary bearing.
[0233] It is understood that the connecting arm body 541 is connected to one side of the door body 51 in the thickness direction. At least a portion of the connecting arm body 541 extends away from the door body 51. The limiting ring 542 is sleeved on the outer peripheral wall of the rotary bearing. The limiting ring 542 is spaced apart from the door body 51, and the axial direction of the limiting ring 542 extends downward towards the end of the door body 51 in the length direction. The connecting hole 401 also extends along the length direction of the door body 51. Thus, the limiting ring 542 can cooperate with the outer peripheral wall of the rotary bearing to form a rotatable connection. The structure is simple and easy to implement. This allows the door 300 to rotate around the axis of the limiting ring 542 at the air outlet 202, thereby enabling the door 300 to guide the airflow and adjust the air supply direction in the width direction of the air outlet 202.
[0234] Meanwhile, the connecting arm 54 can be located at the middle position in the length direction of the door body 51. By setting the connecting arm 54 on one side in the thickness direction of the door body 51, it is convenient to connect the thickness direction side of the middle position in the length direction of the switch door 300 to the middle support part 40 of the air outlet frame assembly 100. This can reduce the installation difficulty of the switch door 300, enhance the connection strength and stability between the switch door 300 and the bracket of the air outlet frame assembly 100, and also ensure the aesthetics of the switch door 300 on the side away from the connecting arm 54 in the thickness direction.
[0235] Furthermore, by setting up the connecting arm body 541 and the limiting ring 542, the operator can directly fasten the limiting ring 542 from top to bottom into the outer peripheral wall of the rotating bearing at the connecting hole 401, thereby realizing the rotational connection between the middle position of the door body 51 in the length direction and the air outlet frame assembly 100. The installation is convenient and the operation is simple, which can effectively improve the assembly efficiency of the air outlet structure 1001, and can ensure the rotatability of the opening and closing door 300 relative to the air outlet frame assembly 100. Thus, the opening and closing door 300 can guide the airflow and adjust the air supply direction in the width direction of the air outlet 202.
[0236] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 5 As shown, the limiting ring 542 is provided with a reinforcing opening 543, which extends through the limiting ring 542 along its axial direction. Therefore, the reinforcing opening 543 effectively prevents the limiting ring 542 from breaking during production, transportation, or installation, improving overall reliability. Furthermore, when the connecting arm 54 is an injection-molded part, the reinforcing opening 543 can be located at the injection weld line, preventing short circuits in the limiting ring 542 and avoiding interference with the assembly of the limiting ring 542 with the rotary bearing.
[0237] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 34 and Figure 35 As shown, the outer peripheral wall of the rotary bearing 443 is provided with an outer oil groove 4432. The outer oil groove 4432 extends along the axial direction of the rotary bearing 443, and there are multiple outer oil grooves 4432 spaced apart along the circumferential direction of the rotary bearing 443.
[0238] Understandably, the outer oil groove 4432 contains lubricating oil, which can reduce the friction between the intermediate support part 40 and the outer peripheral wall of the rotating bearing 443 when the door 300 rotates, thereby improving the smoothness of the door 300 rotation and thus improving the stability of the air guide grille 200 in the width direction of the air outlet 202.
[0239] Furthermore, the extension direction of the outer oil groove 4432 is the same as the axial direction of the rotary bearing 443, which helps to reduce the machining difficulty of the outer oil groove 4432, thereby effectively reducing the production and processing costs of the rotary bearing 443 and the outer oil groove 4432 and improving production efficiency. On the other hand, the outer oil groove 4432 extends along the axial direction of the rotary bearing 443, which can ensure that the lubricating oil is evenly distributed in the axial direction of the outer peripheral wall of the rotary bearing 443, so as to ensure the lubrication effect of the lubricating oil, thereby further improving the smoothness and stability of the rotary bearing 443 rotating in the intermediate support part 40.
[0240] Furthermore, by setting multiple outer oil grooves 4432, the lubricating oil can be distributed in multiple locations along the circumferential direction of the inner peripheral wall of the intermediate support part 40, thereby ensuring the lubrication effect of the lubricating oil. When the door 300 rotates, the friction between the intermediate support part 40 and the outer peripheral wall of the rotary bearing 443 can be effectively reduced, thereby improving the smoothness and stability of the rotary bearing 443 rotating within the intermediate support part 40, as well as improving the stability of the airflow guided by the door 300 in the width direction of the air outlet 202.
[0241] In some embodiments of this utility model, the rotary bearing 443 is a POM part. POM has high hardness, high strength, high rigidity and good elastic modulus, which makes the rotary bearing 443 perform well under heavy load and impact and can maintain stable performance.
[0242] like Figure 21 and Figure 41 As shown, the air guide grille 200 is detachably and rotatably mounted at the air outlet 202. The rotation axis of the air guide grille 200 extends along the length of the air outlet 202, allowing the air guide grille 200 to rotate around this axis. When airflow flows into the air outlet duct 201 and passes through the air guide grille 200, the air guide grille 200 can guide the airflow and change its direction in the width of the air outlet 202. This allows the air conditioner 1000 to deliver air at different angles in the width of the air outlet 202 to meet the user's air supply needs. It also increases the air supply angle and range at the air outlet 202, achieving wide-angle air supply in the air outlet structure 1001, thereby improving the air supply effect and enhancing user comfort and experience.
[0243] like Figure 31 and Figure 39 As shown, the air guide grille 200 includes a grille body 41 and a third mounting component 44. The third mounting component 44 is located on one side of the grille body 41 in the thickness direction and spaced apart from both ends of the grille body 41 in the length direction. The third mounting component 44 is rotatably connected to the inner peripheral wall of the rotary bearing 443.
[0244] It is understandable that the third mounting component 44 is rotatably connected to the inner peripheral wall of the rotary bearing 443. The third mounting component 44 can be located at the middle position in the length direction of the grille body 41. By setting the third mounting component 44 on one side in the thickness direction of the grille body 41, it is convenient to connect the thickness direction side of the middle position in the length direction of the air guide grille 200 to the middle support part 40 of the air outlet frame assembly 100. This can reduce the installation difficulty of the air guide grille 200, while enhancing the connection strength and stability between the air guide grille 200 and the support of the air outlet frame assembly 100. It can also ensure the aesthetics of the side of the air guide grille 200 away from the third mounting component 44 in the thickness direction. In addition, the rotatable connection between the third mounting component 44 and the inner peripheral wall of the rotary bearing 443, and the rotatable connection between the third mounting component 44 and the middle support part 40, can ensure the rotatability of the air guide grille 200 relative to the air outlet frame assembly 100. This allows the air guide grille 200 to guide the airflow and adjust the air delivery direction in the width direction of the air outlet 202.
[0245] like Figure 21 and Figure 41 As shown, the switch door 300 is detachably and rotatably mounted at the air outlet 202. The rotation axis of the switch door 300 extends along the length of the air outlet 202, allowing the switch door 300 to rotate around this axis. When airflow flows into the air outlet duct 201 and passes through the switch door 300, the switch door 300 can guide the airflow and change its direction in the width direction of the air outlet 202. This allows the air conditioner 1000 to deliver air at different angles in the width direction of the air outlet 202 to meet the user's air supply needs. It also increases the air supply angle and range at the air outlet 202, achieving wide-angle air supply from the air outlet structure 1001, thereby improving the air supply effect of the air outlet structure 1001 and enhancing user comfort and experience.
[0246] Meanwhile, the rotary bearing 443 located in the intermediate support part 40 can realize the coaxial rotation of the air guide grille 200 and the switch door 300. The switch door 300 is rotatably connected to the rotary bearing 443 through the connecting arm 54, and the air guide grille 200 can be rotatably connected to the rotary bearing 443 through the third mounting component 44, so as to avoid the rotation of the air guide grille 200 and the rotation of the switch door 300 interfering with each other.
[0247] In this embodiment, the rotary bearing 443 separates the connecting arm 54, the third mounting assembly 44, and the intermediate support 40, reducing friction between them. This reduces frictional heat and wear, extending their service life. Furthermore, the rotary bearing 443 improves the stability and reliability of the rotatable connection between the connecting arm 54, the third mounting assembly 44, and the intermediate support 40, ensuring the stability and reliability of the rotation of the air guide grille 200 and the door 300 in the width direction of the air outlet 202.
[0248] In this embodiment, when assembling the air outlet structure 1001, after the rotary bearing 443 is secured to the middle support portion 40 of the air outlet frame assembly 100, the connecting arm 54 of the switch door 300 is first fitted onto the outside of the rotary bearing 443 from top to bottom. Then, the third mounting component 44 of the air guide grille 200 is inserted into the rotary bearing 443 from top to bottom. The same principle applies when disassembling the air outlet structure 1001; first, the air guide grille 200 is removed upwards, and then the switch door 300 is lifted upwards.
[0249] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 31 and Figure 40 As shown, the third mounting assembly 44 includes a third mounting plate 441 and a mounting ring 442. The third mounting plate 441 is connected to one side of the grid body 41 in the thickness direction. The mounting ring 442 is annular and one end in the axial direction is connected to one end of the third mounting plate 441 in the length direction of the grid body 41. The mounting ring 442 is rotatably inserted into the rotary bearing 443.
[0250] It is understood that the third mounting plate 441 is perpendicular to the grille body 41. One end of the third mounting plate 441 is connected to the grille body 41, and the other end of the third mounting plate 441 extends towards the end opposite to the grille body 41. The mounting ring 442 is connected to one side of the end of the third mounting plate 441 facing the length direction of the grille body 41, that is, the mounting ring 442 is located on the lower side of the third mounting plate 441, and the other end of the annular mounting ring 442 in the axial direction extends towards the end of the length direction of the grille body 41, i.e., downward. The connecting hole 401 also extends in the vertical direction. Thus, the mounting ring 442 can cooperate with the rotating bearing 443 in the connecting hole 401 to form a rotating connection. The structure is simple and easy to implement. This allows the air guide grille 200 to rotate around the axis of the mounting ring 442 at the air outlet 202, thereby enabling the air guide grille 200 to guide the airflow and adjust the air delivery direction in the width direction of the air outlet 202.
[0251] In addition, by setting a third mounting plate 441 and a mounting ring 442, it is convenient for operators to directly snap the mounting ring 442 into the rotating bearing 443 at the connection hole 401 from top to bottom, thereby realizing the rotational connection between the middle position of the grille body 41 in the length direction and the air outlet frame assembly 100. The installation is convenient and the operation is simple, which can effectively improve the assembly efficiency of the air outlet structure 1001.
[0252] Furthermore, such as Figure 31 and Figure 40 As shown, the third mounting assembly 44 further includes a third guide rib 444, which is located radially outside the mounting ring 442 and is disposed on the side of the third mounting plate 441 on which the mounting ring 442 is located.
[0253] It is understood that the grille body 41 extends vertically, the third mounting plate 441 is perpendicular to the grille body 41, one end of the third guide rib 444 is connected to the lower side of the third mounting plate 441, and the other end extends downward toward the side of the third mounting plate 441 where the mounting ring 442 is located. When the operator fastens the mounting ring 442 into the rotating bearing 443 at the connection hole 401 from top to bottom, the connection position between the third mounting component 44 and the air outlet frame component 100 is in the operator's blind spot. The third guide rib 444 can play a guiding role, guiding the mounting ring 442 to the top of the connection hole 401 so that it can be fastened into the connection hole 401, thereby facilitating blind operation by the operator. The installation is convenient and the operation is simple, which can effectively improve the assembly efficiency of the air outlet structure 1001.
[0254] Furthermore, such as Figure 31 and Figure 40 As shown, multiple third guide ribs 444 are spaced apart along the circumferential direction of the mounting ring 442. These multiple third guide ribs 444 are spaced apart along the width direction of the grille body 41. Thus, the end faces of the multiple third guide ribs 444 facing the side of the third mounting plate 441 where the mounting ring 442 is located can simultaneously serve a guiding function. This enhances the stability of the guiding function of the third guide ribs 444 and improves the accuracy of guiding the mounting ring 442 into the connecting hole 401. This, in turn, reduces the installation difficulty of the air guide grille 200 and improves the assembly efficiency of the air outlet structure 1001.
[0255] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 36As shown, the intermediate support portion 40 is provided with a grille positioning rib 402, which is located radially outside the connecting hole 401. The grille positioning rib 402 can abut against the third guide rib 444. It can be understood that when the intermediate support portion 40 and the air guide grille 200 rotate relative to each other, the distance between the grille positioning rib 402 and the third guide rib 444 in the circumferential direction of the connecting hole 401 changes. When the grille positioning rib 402 abuts against the third guide rib 444, the third mounting component 44 stops rotating, which can achieve the functions of positioning and limiting, thereby limiting the rotation range of the air guide grille 200 at the air outlet 202, avoiding unnecessary rotation of the air guide grille 200, and thus improving the reliability of the air guide grille 200 in the width direction of the air outlet 202.
[0256] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 34 , Figure 35 and Figure 38 As shown, the rotary bearing 443 includes a bearing body 4433 and an assembly part 4434. The third mounting assembly 44 and the connecting arm 54 cooperate with the bearing body 4433. At least a portion of the bearing body 4433 is located outside the connecting hole 401. The assembly part 4434 is located at one end of the bearing body 4433 in the axial direction and is inserted into and connected to the connecting hole 401. Thus, the bearing body 4433 is located at the upper end of the assembly part 4434. The bearing body 4433 and the assembly part 4434 extend along the length direction of the air outlet 202, i.e., the vertical direction. The assembly part 4434 and part of the bearing body 4433 pass through the connecting hole 401 in the vertical direction. At least a portion of the bearing body 4433 is engaged at the upper end of the connecting hole 401, thereby limiting the rotary bearing 443 and preventing the rotary bearing 443 from falling out of the connecting hole 401 during assembly.
[0257] Furthermore, after the air guide grille 200 and the switch door 300 are assembled with the air outlet frame assembly 100, the third mounting assembly 44 can be located above the limiting ring 542 along the length direction of the air outlet 202. The limiting ring 542 is shorter in length to facilitate the assembly of the switch door 300, while the mounting ring 442 is longer in length so that after assembly, the third mounting assembly 44 can restrict the limiting ring 542 from coming off the upper part of the rotary bearing 443.
[0258] Furthermore, such as Figure 34 , Figure 35 and Figure 38As shown, the assembly part 4434 includes an assembly part body 4435 and a plurality of hooks 4436 spaced apart along the circumferential direction of the assembly part body 4435. The bearing body 4433, the assembly part body 4435, and the hooks 4436 are arranged sequentially along the axial direction of the connecting hole 401. It can be understood that the plurality of hooks 4436 are spaced apart in the circumferential direction of the assembly part body 4435. When the rotating bearing 443 is inserted into the hole, the hooks 4436 can deform inward, which facilitates the insertion of the assembly part 4434 into the connecting hole 401, and can reduce the weight of the rotating bearing 443 and the weight of the air outlet structure 1001, thereby avoiding excessive driving pressure when the air outlet structure 1001 is in operation.
[0259] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, a limiting protrusion 4437 is provided on the end face of the hook 4436 away from the assembly body 4435. The end face of the limiting protrusion 4437 near the assembly body 4435 can abut against the axial end face of the intermediate support part 40, which has a connecting hole 401. Thus, the limiting protrusion 4437 is provided at the lower end of the assembly part 4434, and can limit the rotation bearing 443, preventing the rotation bearing 443 from displacing upward from the connecting hole 401 and falling out when subjected to external impact, thereby ensuring the reliability of the position of the rotation bearing 443.
[0260] Furthermore, such as Figure 34 , Figure 35 and Figure 38 As shown, a limiting protrusion 4438 is provided at the end of the outer peripheral wall of the bearing body 4433 away from the hook 4436. The axial end face of the limiting protrusion 4438 near the hook 4436 abuts against the axial end face of the intermediate support part 40 where the connecting hole 401 is provided. Thus, the limiting protrusion 4438 is provided at the upper end of the bearing body 4433 and is engaged at the upper end of the connecting hole 401, thereby limiting the rotation bearing 443 and preventing the rotation bearing 443 from falling out of the connecting hole 401 during assembly.
[0261] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 34 , Figure 35 and Figure 38 As shown, the inner diameter of the connecting hole 401 gradually decreases along the direction from the bearing body 4433 to the limiting protrusion 4437. The connecting hole 401 can provide guidance for the process of inserting the rotary bearing 443 into the connecting hole 401, allowing the hook 4436 to deform gradually, avoiding breakage of the hook 4436, and increasing the reliability of the assembly of the rotary bearing 443.
[0262] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 3As shown, the inner peripheral wall of the rotary bearing 443 is provided with an inner oil groove 4431. The inner oil groove 4431 extends along the axial direction of the rotary bearing 443. Multiple inner oil grooves 4431 are spaced apart along the circumferential direction of the rotary bearing 443. The inner oil groove 4431 contains lubricating oil, which can reduce the friction between the mounting ring 442 and the inner peripheral wall of the rotary bearing 443 when the air guide grille 200 rotates, thereby improving the smoothness of the rotation of the air guide grille 200 and thus improving the stability of the air guide grille 200 in the width direction of the air outlet 202.
[0263] Furthermore, the extension direction of the inner oil groove 4431 is the same as the axial direction of the rotary bearing 443, which helps to reduce the machining difficulty of the inner oil groove 4431, thereby effectively reducing the production and processing costs of the rotary bearing 443 and the inner oil groove 4431 and improving production efficiency. On the other hand, the inner oil groove 4431 extends along the axial direction of the rotary bearing 443, which can ensure that the lubricating oil is evenly distributed in the axial direction of the inner peripheral wall of the rotary bearing 443, so as to ensure the lubrication effect of the lubricating oil, thereby further improving the smoothness and stability of the mounting ring 442 rotating in the rotary bearing 443.
[0264] Furthermore, by setting multiple inner oil grooves 4431, the lubricating oil can be distributed in multiple locations along the circumferential direction of the outer peripheral wall of the mounting ring 442, thereby ensuring the lubrication effect of the lubricating oil. When the air guide grille 200 rotates, the friction between the mounting ring 442 and the inner peripheral wall of the rotary bearing 443 can be effectively reduced, thereby improving the smoothness and stability of the mounting ring 442 rotating within the rotary bearing 443, and improving the stability of the air guide grille 200 in the width direction of the air outlet 202.
[0265] In some embodiments of this utility model, multiple intermediate support portions 40 are spaced apart along the length of the air outlet 202, and multiple third mounting components 44 and connecting arms 54 correspond one-to-one with the multiple intermediate support portions 40. The third mounting components 44 and connecting arms 54 can be supported at multiple points along the length of the air outlet 202, increasing support for the air guide grille 200 and the door 300, and preventing deformation of the air guide grille 200 and the door 300 during rotation.
[0266] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 31 and Figure 32As shown, the air guide grille 200 also includes a first mounting component 42, which is located on one side of the first end 411 in the thickness direction and rotatably connected to the air outlet frame assembly 100. By providing the first mounting component 42 on one side of the grille body 41 in the thickness direction, it is easier to connect one side of the air guide grille 200 in the thickness direction to the air outlet frame assembly 100, which reduces the installation difficulty of the air guide grille 200 and also ensures the aesthetics of the side of the air guide grille 200 away from the first mounting component 42 in the thickness direction. At the same time, the rotatable connection between the first mounting component 42 and the air outlet frame assembly 100 ensures the rotatability of the air guide grille 200 relative to the air outlet frame assembly 100, thereby enabling the air guide grille 200 to guide the airflow and adjust the air delivery direction in the width direction of the air outlet 202.
[0267] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 31 , Figure 32 , Figure 42 and Figure 43 As shown, the air outlet frame assembly 100 has a first rotating hole 7124 at one end near the first end 411. The first mounting assembly 42 includes a first mounting plate 421 and an inner ring portion 422. The first mounting plate 421 is connected to the grille body 41. The inner ring portion 422 is annular and one end in the axial direction is connected to the side of the first mounting plate 421 facing the second end 412. The inner ring portion 422 is rotatably disposed in the first rotating hole 7124.
[0268] It is understood that the first mounting plate 421 is perpendicular to the grille body 41, one end of the first mounting plate 421 is connected to the grille body 41, and the other end of the first mounting plate 421 extends toward the end opposite to the grille body 41. The inner ring portion 422 is connected to the side of the first mounting plate 421 facing the second end 412, that is, the inner ring portion 422 is located on the lower side of the first mounting plate 421, and the other end of the annular inner ring portion 422 extends toward the second end 412, i.e., downwards. The first rotating hole 7124 also extends in the vertical direction. Thus, the inner ring portion 422 can cooperate with the first rotating hole 7124 to form a rotating connection. The structure is simple and easy to implement. This allows the air guide grille 200 to rotate around the axis of the inner ring portion 422 at the air outlet 202, thereby enabling the air guide grille 200 to guide the airflow and adjust the air delivery direction in the width direction of the air outlet 202.
[0269] In addition, by setting the first mounting plate 421 and the inner ring 422, it is convenient for the operator to directly snap the inner ring 422 into the first rotating hole 7124 from top to bottom, thereby realizing the rotational connection between the first end 411 of the grille body 41 and the air outlet frame assembly 100. The installation is convenient and the operation is simple, which can effectively improve the assembly efficiency of the air outlet structure 1001.
[0270] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 2 , 18 , Figure 33 , Figure 37 and Figure 38 As shown, the air outlet frame assembly 100 has an annular boss 7123 at one end near the first end 411. The annular boss 7123 defines a first rotating hole 7124. The first mounting assembly 42 also includes an outer ring portion 423. The outer ring portion 423 is annular and one end in the axial direction is connected to the side of the first mounting plate 421 facing the second end 412. The outer ring portion 423 is sleeved outside the inner ring portion 422 and spaced apart from the inner ring portion 422. The annular boss 7123 is located between the inner ring portion 422 and the outer ring portion 423.
[0271] It is understandable that the outer ring portion 423 is connected to the side of the first mounting plate 421 facing the second end 412, that is, the outer ring portion 423 is located on the lower side of the first mounting plate 421 and is sleeved outside the inner ring portion 422. The outer ring portion 423, which is spaced apart from the inner ring portion 422, can play a limiting role. When the operator fastens the inner ring portion 422 into the first rotating hole 7124 from top to bottom, the outer ring portion 423 can limit the annular boss 7123 between the outer ring portion 423 and the inner ring portion 422, thereby ensuring the connection stability between the first connecting portion and the annular boss 7123, and thus improving the stability of the air guide grille 200 rotating and guiding the air in the width direction of the air outlet 202.
[0272] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 2 , 18 , Figure 33 , Figure 37 and Figure 38 As shown, the inner circumferential wall of the outer ring portion 423 is provided with a rotating rib 4231, and the outer circumferential wall of the annular boss 7123 is provided with a rotating positioning rib 7125. Along the circumferential direction of the outer ring portion 423, the rotating rib 4231 can abut against the rotating positioning rib 7125. It can be understood that when the inner ring portion 422 and the annular boss 7123 rotate, the distance between the rotating rib 4231 and the rotating positioning rib 7125 along the circumferential direction of the inner ring portion 422 changes. When the rotating rib 4231 abuts against the rotating positioning rib 7125, the inner ring portion 422 stops rotating, thus achieving positioning and limiting functions. This limits the rotation range of the air guide grille 200 at the air outlet 202, preventing unnecessary rotation of the air guide grille 200 and improving the reliability of the air guide grille 200's rotational airflow guidance in the width direction of the air outlet 202.
[0273] Specifically, if Figure 43As shown in the example, the annular boss 7123 has two rotating positioning ribs 7125 on its outer peripheral wall. When the annular boss 7123 is located between the outer ring portion 423 and the inner ring portion 422, the rotating rib 4231 is placed between the two rotating positioning ribs 7125 along the circumferential direction of the inner ring portion 422. Thus, when the inner ring portion 422 rotates, the rotating rib 4231 rotates between the two rotating positioning ribs 7125 along the circumferential direction of the inner ring portion 422. When the rotating rib 4231 abuts against one of the rotating positioning ribs 7125, the inner ring portion 422 stops rotating. The two rotating positioning ribs 7125 can achieve positioning and limiting of the rotation of the annular boss 7123 in two directions, thereby limiting the rotation range of the air guide grille 200 at the air outlet 202 in two directions.
[0274] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 31 and Figure 32 As shown, the first mounting assembly 42 also includes a first guide rib 424, which is located radially outside the outer ring portion 423 and is provided on the side of the first mounting plate 421 facing the second end 412. In the direction away from the axis of the inner ring portion 422, the end face of the first guide rib 424 facing the second end 412 is inclined toward the second end 412.
[0275] It is understood that the grille body 41 extends in the vertical direction, the first mounting plate 421 is set perpendicular to the grille body 41, one end of the first guide rib 424 is connected to the lower side of the first mounting plate 421, and the other end extends downward toward the second end 412. At the same time, in the direction away from the axis of the inner ring 422, the lower end face of the first guide rib 424 is inclined toward the second end 412. When the operator inserts the inner ring 422 into the first rotating hole 7124 from top to bottom, the connection position between the first mounting assembly 42 and the air outlet frame assembly 100 is in the operator's blind spot. The lower end face of the inclined first guide rib 424 can play a guiding role, which can guide the inner ring 422 to the top of the first rotating hole 7124 so that it can be inserted into the first rotating hole 7124. This makes it easy for the operator to operate blindly, and the installation is convenient and the operation is simple, which can effectively improve the assembly efficiency of the air outlet structure 1001.
[0276] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 31 and Figure 32As shown, multiple first guide ribs 424 are spaced apart along the circumferential direction of the outer ring portion 423. These multiple first guide ribs 424 are spaced apart along the width direction of the grille body 41, so that the end faces of the multiple first guide ribs 424 facing the second end 412 can simultaneously play a guiding role. This enhances the stability of the guiding function of the first guide ribs 424 and also improves the accuracy of guiding the inner ring portion 422 into the first rotating hole 7124, thereby reducing the installation difficulty of the air guide grille 200 and improving the assembly efficiency of the air outlet structure 1001.
[0277] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 31 , Figure 39 and Figure 44 As shown, the air guide grille 200 also includes a second mounting component 43, which is located on one side of the second end 412 in the thickness direction and connected to the air outlet frame assembly 100. By providing the second mounting component 43 on one side of the grille body 41 in the thickness direction, it is easier to connect the second end 412 of the air guide grille 200 in the thickness direction to the air outlet frame assembly 100, which reduces the installation difficulty of the air guide grille 200 and also ensures the aesthetics of the side of the air guide grille 200 facing away from the second mounting component 43 in the thickness direction.
[0278] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 31 , Figure 39 and Figure 44 As shown, the air outlet frame assembly 100 includes an air outlet frame 20 and a rotating member 30. The rotating member 30 is rotatably mounted on the air outlet frame 20, and the second mounting assembly 43 is fixedly connected to the rotating member 30. By providing the rotating member 30 on the air outlet frame 20, it is easy to install the grille body 41 onto the air outlet frame 20 via the second mounting assembly 43 and the rotating member 30. The structure is simple and easy to implement, which can reduce the installation difficulty of the air guide grille 200. At the same time, the rotating member 30 is rotatably mounted on the air outlet frame 20, so that the grille body 41 and the air outlet frame 20 can be rotatably connected, allowing the air guide grille 200 to rotate around the axis of the rotating member 30 at the air outlet 202. This allows the air guide grille 200 to guide the airflow and adjust the air delivery direction in the width direction of the air outlet 202.
[0279] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 31 , Figure 39 and Figure 44As shown, the rotating component 30 is provided with a connecting plate 301 extending toward the first end 411. The second mounting assembly 43 includes a second mounting plate 431 and a limiting rib 432. The second mounting plate 431 is connected to the grille body 41. The limiting rib 432 is connected to the side of the second mounting plate 431 away from the first end 411. The limiting rib 432 defines a limiting groove 4321. The end of the connecting plate 301 facing the first end 411 is inserted into the limiting groove 4321.
[0280] It is understood that the air outlet 202 and the grille body 41 extend in the vertical direction, the second mounting plate 431 is set perpendicular to the grille body 41, one end of the second mounting plate 431 is connected to the grille body 41, and the other end of the second mounting plate 431 extends toward the end away from the grille body 41. The limiting rib 432 is set on the lower side of the second mounting plate 431 and extends toward the second end 412, i.e. downward. The limiting rib 432 can be formed into a ring or a semi-ring, thereby defining the limiting groove 4321.
[0281] like Figure 40 As shown, the connecting plate 301 extends upward toward the first end 411, which facilitates the operator to install the air guide grille 200 from top to bottom, so that the connecting plate 301 can extend into the limiting groove 4321. At the same time, the limiting rib 432 can play a positioning and limiting role, limiting the connecting plate 301 in the limiting groove 4321, which facilitates the connection between the second mounting component 43 and the connecting plate 301, and also helps to improve the stability of the connection.
[0282] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 6 , Figure 18 , Figure 45 and Figure 46 As shown, the door 300 also includes a rotating arm 55, which is located on the same side of the door body 51 in the thickness direction as the pivot arm 52. The rotating arm 55 and the pivot arm 52 are spaced apart along the length direction of the air outlet 202. The air outlet structure 1001 also includes a drive assembly 400. The drive assembly 400 includes a first drive member 410, which includes a door opening / closing motor 62 and a non-circular shaft 622. The non-circular shaft 622 is sleeved on the output shaft of the door opening / closing motor 62 and connected to the rotating arm 55.
[0283] Understandably, since the door body 51 is a relatively long part and is located at the air outlet 202, the drive component 500 drives the door 300 to rotate through the connecting arm 54, and the drive assembly 400 drives the door 300 to rotate through the rotating arm 55, ensuring the reliability and stability of the door 300 rotation, and increasing the support of the air outlet frame 20 for the door body 51, thereby improving the overall reliability.
[0284] Specifically, the driving force of the door opening / closing motor 62 is transmitted to the non-circular shaft 622 through the output shaft of the door opening / closing motor 622, and then drives the rotating arm 55 to rotate, thereby realizing the rotation of the door 300. The non-circular shaft 622 further improves the reliability of the rotation by acting on the output shaft of the door opening / closing motor 62. Preferably, the non-circular shaft 622 is made of insulating material, which can solve the problems of static electricity on the output shaft of the door opening / closing motor 62 and damage to components such as the door 300 caused by a sudden increase in the power of the door opening / closing motor 62. This effectively improves the stability and reliability of the first driving component 410 and extends its service life.
[0285] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 6 , Figure 18 , Figure 45 and Figure 46 As shown, one end of the rotating arm 55 is fixedly connected to the door body 51 along its length, and the other end is provided with a limiting post 551. The limiting post 551 has a non-circular hole 552, which extends along the circumferential direction of the limiting post 551. A non-circular shaft 622 passes through the non-circular hole 552. Thus, through the cooperation of the non-circular shaft 622 and the non-circular hole 552, the connection method for the first driving member 410 to drive the door 300 to rotate is relatively simple and reliable. At the same time, the rotating arm 55 can extend the distance between the door body 51 and the non-circular shaft 622, so that the door body 51 is separated from the first driving member 410. When the door opening and closing motor 62 drives the door 300 to rotate, it can avoid the door body 51 from colliding with the first driving member 410. The structural design is reasonable, thereby ensuring the stability and reliability of the door 300 opening or closing the air outlet 202.
[0286] like Figures 51-54 , Figure 18 , Figure 45 and Figure 46 As shown, the drive assembly 400 includes a drive box 60, a first drive member 410, and a second drive member 420. The drive box 60 includes a top cover 64 and a box body 61. The top cover 64 is mounted on and connected to the box body 61. The top cover 64 has a first drive hole 644 and a clearance hole 643. At least a portion of the first drive member 410 is disposed within the box body 61. The output shaft of the first drive member 410 is rotatably disposed within the first drive hole 644, used to drive the door 300 to rotate. At least a portion of the second drive member 420 is disposed within the box body 61. The second drive member 420 includes a connecting plate 301. The connecting plate 301 is rotatably disposed within the clearance hole 643 and rotates synchronously with the output shaft of the second drive member 420, used to drive the air guide grille 200 to rotate. The door 300 and the air guide grille 200 rotate together. The connecting plate 301 and the output shaft of the second drive member 420 are radially spaced apart.
[0287] It is understood that at least a portion of the first drive component 410 and the second drive component 420 are located within the drive housing 60. The drive housing 60 can protect the first drive component 410 and the second drive component 420 to a certain extent, preventing external oil stains, dust, and other contaminants from contaminating the first drive component 410 and the second drive component 420 and causing damage. At the same time, the design of the drive housing 60, including the top cover 64 and the housing body 61, makes the disassembly and assembly of the components within the drive housing 60 more convenient, helping to simplify the maintenance and repair process and reduce operational difficulty and costs.
[0288] Specifically, the switch door 300 can be connected to the output shaft of the first drive member 410 so that the first drive member 410 drives the switch door 300 to rotate. The connecting plate 301 can be connected to the connecting plate 301 so that the second drive member 420 drives the air guide grille 200 to rotate, so that the switch door 300 and the air guide grille 200 rotate coaxially. That is, the rotation axes of the switch door 300 and the air guide grille 200 coincide, thereby effectively utilizing space and reducing the volume of the air outlet structure 1001 or air conditioner 1000 that uses the drive component 400.
[0289] Meanwhile, by setting the connecting plate 301 and the output shaft of the second drive component 420 at radial intervals, the rotation trajectories of the switch door 300 and the air guide grille 200 can always remain concentric circles with different radii, thus avoiding mutual interference when the switch door 300 and the air guide grille 200 rotate. This facilitates the normal rotation of the switch door 300 and the air guide grille 200, preventing accidental collisions and ensuring the stability and reliability of the drive assembly 400 and the air outlet structure 1001, reducing the risk of damage to the air outlet structure 1001, and thus extending its service life. Furthermore, by having the connecting plate 301 and the output shaft of the second drive component 420 rotate synchronously and are set at radial intervals, when assembling the drive assembly 400, the switch door 300 located at the output shaft of the first drive component 410 can be installed first, followed by the air guide grille 200 located on the radially outer side, effectively reducing assembly difficulty and improving assembly efficiency.
[0290] In addition, since the door 300 is connected to the output shaft of the first drive member 410, and the air guide grille 200 is connected to the connecting plate 301 of the second drive member 420, the upper cover 64 has a first drive hole 644 and a clearance hole 643, so that the output shaft of the first drive member 410 is rotatably disposed in the first drive hole 644, and the connecting plate 301 is rotatably disposed in the clearance hole 643. This ensures the reliability and stability of the first drive member 410 driving the door 300 to rotate, and also ensures the reliability and stability of the second drive member 420 driving the air guide grille 200 to rotate, thereby improving the overall reliability of the drive assembly 400.
[0291] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 53 , Figure 54 , Figures 58-60 , Figure 45 and Figure 46 As shown, the box body 61 has a motor slot 611, which is open on the side opposite to the upper cover 64. The bottom wall of the motor slot 611 has a second drive hole 6100 opposite to the first drive hole 644. The output shaft of the first drive member 410 is rotatably disposed in the second drive hole 6100. This arrangement allows the output shaft of the first drive member 410 to be rotatably disposed in the first drive hole 644 and the second drive hole 6100, thereby driving the rotating component connected to the output shaft of the first drive member 410 to rotate, making the layout of the drive box 60 more rational.
[0292] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 53-55 , Figure 45 and Figure 46 As shown, the first driving component 410 includes a door opening / closing motor 62 and a non-circular shaft 622. The door opening / closing motor 62 is disposed within a motor slot 611, and its output shaft is rotatably disposed within a second driving hole 6100. The non-circular shaft 622 is sleeved on the output shaft of the door opening / closing motor 62 and rotatably passes through both the first driving hole 644 and the second driving hole 6100. The non-circular shaft 622 constitutes the output shaft of the first driving component 410.
[0293] Understandably, by setting a non-circular shaft 622 and fitting it onto the output shaft of the door opening / closing motor 62, the output force of the door opening / closing motor 62 is transmitted to the door opening / closing 300 via the non-circular shaft 622. This structural design is reasonable, reduces assembly difficulty, and thus improves the assembly and production efficiency of the drive assembly 400. Simultaneously, the non-circular shaft 622 can serve as an extension of the output shaft of the door opening / closing motor 62 and act as a transmission mechanism, transmitting the torque output by the door opening / closing motor 62 to the door opening / closing 300, thereby driving the door opening / closing 300 to rotate. Furthermore, by placing the door opening / closing motor 62 within the motor slot 611, the drive box 60 can, to a certain extent, protect the door opening / closing motor 62 from external oil, dust, and other contaminants, preventing damage to the motor.
[0294] Preferably, the non-circular shaft 622 is made of insulating material, which can solve the problems of static electricity on the output shaft of the door opening and closing motor 62 and damage to components such as the door opening and closing 300 when the power of the door opening and closing motor 62 suddenly increases. This can effectively improve the stability and reliability of the first driving component 410 and extend the service life of the first driving component 410.
[0295] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 55-59 As shown, the top cover 64 has a fastening post 642 on the side facing the box body 61. The box body 61 has a first fixing hole 6101 corresponding to the fastening post 642, and the door opening / closing motor 62 has a second fixing hole 623 corresponding to the first fixing hole 6101. Fasteners are inserted into the fastening post 642, the first fixing hole 6101, and the second fixing hole. This arrangement secures the top cover 64, the box body 61, and the door opening / closing motor 62 together, thereby ensuring reliable connection between the three and improving overall reliability.
[0296] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 55-59 As shown, there are two fastening posts 642, located on opposite sides of the first drive hole 644. There are two first fixing holes 6101 corresponding to each fastening post 642, and two second fixing holes 623 corresponding to each fastening post 642. Thus, by having two fasteners inserted into the corresponding fastening posts 642, the corresponding first fixing holes 6101, and the corresponding second fixing holes 623, the connection strength between the top cover 64, the box body 61, and the door opening / closing motor 62 is further improved.
[0297] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 53-60 , Figure 45 and Figure 46As shown, the box body 61 has an output hole 6102. The second driving member 420 includes an air guide grille motor 63, an input gear 631, and an output gear 632. The air guide grille motor 63 is located within a motor slot 611, and its output shaft is rotatably mounted within the output hole 6102. A portion of the input gear 631 is located between the box body 61 and the upper cover 64, and is connected to the output shaft of the air guide grille motor 63. The output gear 632 is located between the box body 61 and the upper cover 64, meshing with the input gear 631. The output gear 632 has the output shaft of the second driving member 420, and the output shaft of the second driving member 420 has a clearance hole 633 opposite to the second driving hole 6100. The output shaft of the first driving member 410 passes through the clearance hole 633. A connecting plate 301 is located at one axial end of the output gear 632.
[0298] Understandably, the air guide grille 200 can be connected to the connecting plate 301 on the output gear 632. The output gear 632 meshes with the input gear 631, and the input gear 631 is connected to the output shaft of the air guide grille motor 63. The structure of the second drive component 420 is reasonably designed, which can reduce assembly difficulty and thus improve the assembly efficiency and production efficiency of the drive assembly 400. At the same time, the input gear 631 can serve as an extension of the output shaft of the door opening and closing motor 62 and play a transmission role. The output gear 632 meshes with the input gear 631, transmitting the torque output by the air guide grille motor 63 to the input gear 631, which then transmits the torque to the output gear 632. The output gear 632 rotates synchronously with the air guide grille 200, thereby achieving stable and reliable driving of the air guide grille 200.
[0299] Meanwhile, with the air guide grille motor 63 located inside the motor slot 611, the box body 61 can protect the air guide grille motor 63 to a certain extent, effectively preventing external oil stains, dust, and other contaminants from polluting the air guide grille motor 63 and causing damage to it. Furthermore, with the output gear 632 and input gear 631 both located between the box body 61 and the top cover 64, the drive box 60 can also protect the output gear 632 and input gear 631 to a certain extent, effectively preventing external oil stains, dust, and other contaminants from polluting the output gear 632 and input gear 631 and causing damage to them.
[0300] Specifically, if Figure 53 , Figure 54 , Figures 45-50As shown, when the door 300 is the door 300 and the air guide grille 200 is the air guide grille 200, the door motor 62 is the door motor 62 and the air guide grille motor 63 is the air guide grille motor 63. The door 300 includes a door body 51 and a rotating arm 55. By setting the rotating arm 55, it is possible to facilitate the connection between the door 300 and the non-circular shaft 622, which can reduce the assembly difficulty and thus improve the assembly efficiency and production efficiency of the drive components. A rotating arm 55 is located on one side of the door body 51 along its thickness. One end of the rotating arm 55 along its length is fixedly connected to the door body 51, and the other end is provided with a limiting post 551. The limiting post 551 has a non-circular hole 552, which extends along the axial direction of the limiting post 551. A non-circular shaft 622 passes through the non-circular hole 552. The rotating arm 55 can extend the distance between the door body 51 and the non-circular shaft 622, thus separating the door body 51 from the first driving member 410. When the drive motor of the door 300 drives the door 300 to rotate, it can prevent the door body 51 from colliding with the first driving member 410. The structural design is reasonable, thereby ensuring the stability and reliability of the door 300 opening or closing the air outlet 202. Furthermore, the cooperation between the non-circular shaft 622 and the non-circular hole 552 makes the connection method of the first driving member 410 driving the door 300 to rotate relatively simple and reliable.
[0301] The connecting plate 301 is provided with a first pin hole 3011. The air guide grille 200 includes a grille body 41 with a pin 45. The pin 45 is inserted into the first pin hole 3011, thereby connecting the connecting plate 301 and the grille body 41 so that the output gear 632 can drive the air guide grille 200 to rotate. At least part of the limiting post 551 passes through the clearance hole 633, so that the rotation axis of the switch door 300 coincides with the axis of the output shaft of the first drive member 410, and thus the rotation axis of the switch door 300 coincides with the rotation axis of the air guide grille 200. The rotation trajectory of the switch door 300 and the rotation trajectory of the air guide grille 200 can always remain as concentric circles with different radii. Therefore, the switch door 300 and the air guide grille 200 can avoid mutual interference when rotating. This facilitates the normal rotation of the door 300 and the air guide grille 200, preventing accidental collisions between the door 300 and the air guide grille 200 when they are driven to rotate separately. This ensures the stability and reliability of the drive assembly 400 and the air outlet structure 1001, reduces the risk of damage to the air outlet structure 1001, and helps extend the service life of the air outlet structure 1001.
[0302] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 53 and Figure 55As shown, the diameter of the input gear 631 is smaller than the diameter of the output gear 632. This arrangement increases the transmission ratio, allowing the output gear 632 to obtain greater driving force, thereby more effectively rotating the air guide grille 200.
[0303] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 53 , Figure 54 , Figure 58 , Figure 62 and Figure 63 As shown, the wall surface of the box body 61 facing the upper cover 64 has an annular oil groove 6103, which surrounds the second drive hole 6100. The output gear 632 has an annular extension 6321 at one end axially away from the connecting plate 301, and at least a portion of the extension 6321 extends into the annular oil groove 6103. It can be understood that since the output gear 632 is rotatably disposed between the box body 61 and the upper cover 64, and the output shaft of the second drive member 420 is provided on the output gear 632, the extension 6321 at the end of the output gear 632 axially away from the connecting plate 301 extends into the annular oil groove 6103, which contains lubricating oil. This reduces the friction between the output gear 632 and the box body 61 when the output gear 632 rotates, thereby improving the smoothness of the rotation of the output gear 632, and further improving the rotational reliability of the air guide grille 200 connected to the connecting plate 301 of the output gear 632.
[0304] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 62 and Figure 63 As shown, the output gear 632 has multiple teeth 6322 that mesh with the input gear 631. These teeth are spaced apart circumferentially. A positioning plate 6323 is positioned between any two adjacent teeth 6322, located on the side of the teeth 6322 away from the connecting plate 301 and connected to both teeth 6322. This positioning plate 6323 enhances the overall structural strength of the output gear 632, making it more resistant to the forces generated by the meshing of the teeth 6322, thus reducing positioning errors caused by structural deformation. Simultaneously, the contact between the positioning plate 6323 and the input gear 631 ensures that the input gear 631 is accurately positioned and fixed in the axial direction of the output gear 632, preventing movement during operation that could affect transmission efficiency and stability, and effectively improving overall reliability.
[0305] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 62As shown, the outer wall of the output shaft of the second drive member 420 is provided with an oil reservoir 634. The oil reservoir 634 extends along the axial direction of the output shaft of the second drive member 420, and there are multiple oil reservoirs 634, which are arranged sequentially at intervals along the circumferential direction of the output shaft of the second drive member 420. It can be understood that the oil reservoir 634 contains lubricating oil, which can reduce the friction between the output shaft of the second drive member 420 and the side wall of the clearance hole 643 when the air guide grille 200 rotates, thereby improving the smoothness of rotation and thus improving the rotational reliability of the air guide grille 200 connected to the connecting plate 301 of the output gear 632.
[0306] Furthermore, the oil reservoir 634 extends in the same direction as the output shaft of the second drive member 420, which helps reduce the machining difficulty of the oil reservoir 634, thereby effectively reducing the production and machining costs of the clearance end plate and the oil reservoir 634 and improving production efficiency. On the other hand, the oil reservoir 634 extends along the axial direction of the output shaft of the second drive member 420, which ensures that the lubricating oil is evenly distributed in the axial direction of the outer peripheral wall of the output shaft of the second drive member 420, so as to ensure the lubrication effect of the lubricating oil, thereby further improving the smoothness and stability of the rotation of the output shaft of the second drive member 420 within the clearance hole 643.
[0307] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 62 As shown, multiple oil guide grooves extend along the axial direction of the clearance hole 643, and these grooves are arranged sequentially at intervals along the circumferential direction of the clearance hole 643. It can be understood that the oil guide grooves contain lubricating oil. By having multiple oil guide grooves, the lubricating oil can be distributed at multiple points along the circumferential direction of the inner wall surface of the clearance hole 643, thereby ensuring the lubrication effect of the lubricating oil. When the air guide grille 200 rotates, it effectively reduces the friction between the output shaft of the second drive component 420 and the clearance hole 643, thereby improving the smoothness and stability of the rotation of the output shaft of the second drive component 420 within the clearance hole 643.
[0308] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 55-57 As shown, the top cover 64 and the box body 61 are snap-fitted together. This snap-fit connection enables the top cover 64 and the box body 61 to be connected, allowing for quick installation and removal of both, thus improving assembly and disassembly efficiency.
[0309] Furthermore, the outer peripheral wall of the cover 64 has a plurality of cover latches 645 that are snapped together with the box body 61. The plurality of cover latches 645 are spaced apart along the circumferential direction of the cover 64. Thus, the connection reliability between the cover 64 and the box body 61 is further improved by snapping together with the box body 61 through the plurality of cover latches 645.
[0310] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 51-55 and Figure 61 As shown, the drive box 60 also includes a lower cover 65, which is connected to the box body 61 and is used to seal the opening 6122 of the motor slot 611. It can be understood that after the various components located within the motor slot 611 are installed into the motor slot 611 through the opening 6122, the upper cover 64 seals the opening 6122 of the motor slot 611, ensuring the airtightness of the box body 61 and improving the reliability of the drive box 60.
[0311] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 61 As shown, the outer peripheral wall of the lower cover 65 has a cover flange 651 that bends towards the box body 61. The cover flange 651 extends along the circumferential direction of the lower cover 65, and the inner sidewall of the cover flange 651 fits against the outer peripheral wall of the box body 61. Thus, by fitting the inner sidewall of the cover flange 651 against the outer peripheral wall of the box body 61, the sealing effect of the lower cover 65 on the motor groove 611 is further ensured, and the reliability of the drive box 60 is further improved.
[0312] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 11 As shown, the lower cover 65 is snap-fitted to the box body 61. This snap-fit connection enables the lower cover 65 and the box body 61 to be connected, allowing for quick installation and removal of both, thus improving assembly and disassembly efficiency.
[0313] Furthermore, the outer peripheral wall of the lower cover 65 has a plurality of lower cover latches 652 that are snapped together with the box body 61. The plurality of lower cover latches 652 are spaced apart along the circumferential direction of the lower cover 65. Thus, the connection reliability between the lower cover 65 and the box body 61 is further improved by snapping together with the box body 61 through the plurality of lower cover latches 652.
[0314] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 21 , Figure 41 , Figures 64-67As shown, the two ends of the air outlet 202 in the width direction are the first air outlet end 2021 and the second air outlet end 2022, respectively. The inner wall of the first air outlet end 2021 is provided with a bracket protrusion 501. The switch door 300 is rotatably disposed at the air outlet 202 to open or close the air outlet 202. When the switch door 300 opens the air outlet 202, the switch door 300 is located in the air outlet duct 201. The switch door 300 includes a door body 51 and a door flange 53. When the switch door 300 closes the air outlet 202, the door flange 53 is disposed at the end of the door body 51 in the width direction near the first air outlet end 2021. Along the airflow direction, the door flange 53 is disposed upstream of the bracket protrusion 501. Along the width direction of the air outlet 202, the door flange 53 and the bracket protrusion 501 have an overlapping area.
[0315] It is understandable that the door 300 is rotatably located at the air outlet 202. When the air conditioner 1000 supplies air, the door 300 can rotate from the closed state toward the first air outlet end 2021 into the air outlet duct 201, thereby ensuring the airflow at the air outlet 202 and reducing air volume loss to meet the user's needs.
[0316] When the air conditioner 1000 is turned off, the switch door 300 can rotate to the position where the air outlet 202 is closed, which can prevent dust and ensure the cleanliness of the air conditioner 1000. Since the switch door 300 rotates towards the first air outlet end 2021 into the air outlet duct 201 when the air outlet 202 is opened, a gap exists between the switch door 300 and the air outlet frame assembly 100 at the first air outlet end 2021 to ensure the rotation of the switch door 300. When the switch door 300 closes the air outlet 202, the door flange 53 moves to the first air outlet end 2021. Thus, the door flange 53 and the bracket protrusion 501 can cooperate to block airflow and impurities such as dust, thereby reducing the possibility of air leakage and dust ingress at the gap between the switch door 300 and the air outlet frame assembly 100 at the first air outlet end 2021. Furthermore, along the airflow direction, the door flange 53 is located upstream of the bracket protrusion 501, which will not affect the rotation of the door 300 toward the air outlet 201, thus ensuring the reliability of the door 300 in opening or closing the air outlet 202.
[0317] Furthermore, along the width direction of the air outlet 202, the door flange 53 and the bracket protrusion 501 have an overlapping area. This cooperation between the door flange 53 and the bracket protrusion 501 along the width direction of the air outlet 202 effectively blocks the gap between the switch door 300 and the air outlet frame assembly 100 at the first air outlet end 2021, thus providing a sealing effect. This better ensures the obstruction of airflow and impurities such as dust, preventing dust and other impurities from entering the air conditioner 1000 through the gap between the switch door 300 and the air outlet frame assembly 100 at the first air outlet end 2021. This improves the dustproof effect of the switch door 300 and enhances the cleanliness inside the air conditioner 1000. It also prevents the deep gap between the switch door 300 and the air outlet frame assembly 100 at the first air outlet end 2021 from being directly visible from the outside of the switch door 300, thereby improving the aesthetic appearance of the air outlet structure 1001 and the air conditioner 1000.
[0318] In addition, a support protrusion 501 is provided on the inner wall of the air outlet frame assembly 100 located at the first air outlet end 2021, which can effectively enhance the structural strength of the air outlet frame assembly 100. Similarly, a door flange 53 is provided at one end of the door body 51 in the width direction, which can effectively enhance the structural strength of the door opening and closing 300, thereby enhancing the structural stability and reliability of the air outlet structure 1001 and the air conditioner 1000.
[0319] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 21 , Figure 41 , Figures 64-67 As shown, the bracket protrusion 501 and the door flange 53 extend along the length of the air outlet 202. With the cooperation of the door flange 53 and the bracket protrusion 501, the gap between the switch door 300 and the air outlet frame assembly 100 at the first air outlet end 2021 is effectively blocked along the length of the air outlet 202. This provides better protection against airflow and impurities such as dust at various points along the length of the air outlet 202, preventing dust and other impurities from entering the air conditioner 1000 through the gap between the switch door 300 and the air outlet frame assembly 100 at the first air outlet end 2021. This further improves the dustproof effect of the switch door 300 and enhances the cleanliness inside the air conditioner 1000. It also prevents the deep gap between the switch door 300 and the air outlet frame assembly 100 at the first air outlet end 2021 from being directly visible from the outside, thus improving the aesthetic appearance of the air outlet structure 1001 and the air conditioner 1000.
[0320] In addition, the bracket protrusion 501 and the door flange 53 extend along the length of the air outlet 202, which can further enhance the structural strength of the air outlet frame assembly 100 and the door 300, thereby further enhancing the structural stability and reliability of the air outlet structure 1001 and the air conditioner 1000.
[0321] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 64-67 As shown, when the door 300 closes the air outlet 202, there is a first gap 531 between the door flange 53 and the bracket protrusion 501. This provides the door 300 with a certain amount of room to move, thus preventing collisions and interference between the door 300 and the bracket protrusion 501 when the door 300 rotates, ensuring the rotatability of the door 300, and consequently ensuring the stability of the door 300 when opening or closing the air outlet 202. Furthermore, the first gap 531 prevents collisions between the door flange 53 and the bracket protrusion 501 when the door 300 closes the air outlet 202, thus avoiding wear or damage. This helps ensure the structural stability and reliability of the air outlet structure 1001, and extends its service life.
[0322] In some embodiments of this utility model, the first gap 531 is greater than or equal to 1 mm. If the first gap 531 is less than 1 mm, the distance between the door flange 53 and the bracket protrusion 501 will be too small when the door 300 closes the air outlet 202. This will increase the requirements for the production and assembly precision of the door 300 and the air outlet frame assembly 100, which will easily lead to a decrease in the production and assembly efficiency of the air outlet structure 1001 and also increase the cost of the air outlet structure 1001. Therefore, making the first gap 531 greater than or equal to 1 mm can prevent the door flange 53 and the bracket protrusion 501 from colliding and interfering when the door 300 rotates, thus preventing wear or damage, thereby ensuring the rotatability of the door 300. It can also effectively reduce the production and assembly difficulty of the air outlet structure 1001, thereby ensuring the production and assembly efficiency of the air outlet structure 1001.
[0323] Of course, the first gap 531 is not necessarily better the larger it is. If the first gap 531 is too large, it will affect the shielding and sealing effect of the door flange 53 and the bracket protrusion 501 on the gap of the opening / closing door 300 and the air outlet frame assembly 100 at the first air outlet end 2021, thus failing to guarantee the blocking effect on airflow and impurities such as dust. The specific size of the first gap 531 needs to be determined according to the specific size of the air outlet structure 1001 and the specific application scenario of the air outlet structure 1001 in the air conditioner 1000. This application does not make specific limitations in this regard.
[0324] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 21 , Figure 41 , Figures 64-67 As shown, a frame protrusion 2023 is provided on the inner wall of the second air outlet end 2022. When the door 300 closes the air outlet 202, the frame protrusion 2023 is located upstream of the door body 51 along the airflow direction. Along the width direction of the air outlet 202, the frame protrusion 2023 and the door body 51 have an overlapping area.
[0325] Understandably, when the air conditioner 1000 is turned off, the switch door 300 can rotate to the position where the air outlet 202 is closed, which can prevent dust and ensure the cleanliness of the air conditioner 1000's interior. When the switch door 300 closes the air outlet 202, there is a gap between the switch door 300 and the air outlet frame assembly 100 at the second air outlet end 2022. At this time, along the airflow direction, the frame flange is located upstream of the gap between the switch door 300 and the air outlet frame assembly 100. The frame flange and the switch door 300 can cooperate to block airflow and impurities such as dust, thereby reducing the possibility of air leakage and dust ingress at the gap between the switch door 300 and the air outlet frame assembly 100 at the second air outlet end 2022.
[0326] Furthermore, along the width direction of the air outlet 202, the frame flange and the door body 51 have an overlapping area. Thus, along the width direction of the air outlet 202, the frame flange can cover the gap between the switch door 300 and the air outlet frame assembly 100 at the second air outlet end 2022, effectively sealing it off. This better ensures the obstruction of airflow and impurities such as dust, preventing dust and other impurities from entering the air conditioner 1000 through the gap between the switch door 300 and the air outlet frame assembly 100 at the second air outlet end 2022. This improves the dustproof effect of the switch door 300 and enhances the cleanliness inside the air conditioner 1000. It also prevents the deep gap between the switch door 300 and the air outlet frame assembly 100 at the second air outlet end 2022 from being directly visible from the outside of the switch door 300, thereby improving the aesthetic appearance of the air outlet structure 1001 and the air conditioner 1000.
[0327] In addition, a frame protrusion 2023 is provided on the inner wall of the air outlet frame assembly 100 located at the second air outlet end 2022, which can effectively enhance the structural strength of the air outlet frame assembly 100, thereby enhancing the structural stability and reliability of the air outlet structure 1001 and the air conditioner 1000.
[0328] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 21 , Figure 41 , Figures 64-67As shown, the frame protrusion 2023 extends along the length of the air outlet 202. With the cooperation of the frame protrusion 2023 and the door body 51, the gap between the switch door 300 and the air outlet frame assembly 100 at the second air outlet end 2022 is effectively blocked along the length of the air outlet 202. This provides better protection against airflow and impurities such as dust at various points along the length of the air outlet 202, preventing dust and other impurities from entering the air conditioner 1000 through the gap between the switch door 300 and the air outlet frame assembly 100 at the second air outlet end 2022. This further improves the dustproof effect of the switch door 300 and enhances the cleanliness inside the air conditioner 1000. It also prevents the deep gap between the switch door 300 and the air outlet frame assembly 100 at the second air outlet end 2022 from being directly visible from the outside, thus improving the aesthetic appearance of the air outlet structure 1001 and the air conditioner 1000.
[0329] In addition, the frame protrusion 2023 extends along the length of the air outlet 202, which can further enhance the structural strength of the air outlet frame assembly 100, thereby further enhancing the structural stability and reliability of the air outlet structure 1001 and the air conditioner 1000.
[0330] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 64-67 As shown, along the direction from the second air vent end 2022 to the first air vent end 2021, the sidewall of the frame protrusion 2023 on the windward side is inclined towards the outside of the air outlet 202. The door 300 may be provided with multiple spaced micro-holes 511, which can disperse and refine the airflow, thus achieving a windless airflow effect for the air conditioner 1000. When a user needs cooling but does not want to be blown by the air, they can turn on the windless mode of the air conditioner 1000, close the air outlet 202 with the door 300, and the airflow flows from the air outlet duct 201 inside the housing 1005 to the air outlet 202 and then passes through the door body 51 before being blown out.
[0331] At this time, the inclined sidewall of the frame protrusion 2023 on the windward side can act as a guide, directing the airflow from the air outlet duct 201 towards the second air outlet 2022 towards the direction closer to the first air outlet 2021. This allows the airflow to exit through the micro-holes 511 of the door 300, ensuring a windless airflow effect from the air conditioner 1000 and improving user comfort and experience. The frame protrusion 2023 reduces air leakage at the second air outlet 2022 and also prevents condensation from forming on the door 300 and the air outlet frame assembly 100 at the second air outlet 2022 due to air leakage, further enhancing user comfort and experience.
[0332] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 21 , Figure 41 , Figures 64-67As shown, the side wall of the air outlet duct 201 near the first air outlet end 2021 in the width direction has a receiving groove 502. When the door 300 opens the air outlet 202, the door 300 is at least partially located within the receiving groove 502. By providing the receiving groove 502, the door 300 can move into the housing 1005 when the air outlet 202 is opened, and at least part of the door 300 can be hidden within the receiving groove 502. This effectively improves the utilization rate of the space within the housing 1005. At the same time, the receiving groove 502 provides sufficient space for the door 300 to move. The reasonable structural arrangement is conducive to improving the flexibility of the door 300's rotation.
[0333] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 21 , Figure 41 , Figures 64-67 As shown, the air outlet frame assembly 100 includes an air outlet frame 20 and a front panel 50. The front panel 50 is located on the front side of the air outlet frame 20 and is connected to the air outlet frame 20. The air outlet frame 20 and the panel together define an air outlet duct 201 and an air outlet 202. Part of the receiving groove 502 is located on the face frame and part is located on the front panel 50.
[0334] The front panel 50 is used to hide the complex components and connecting wires inside the air conditioner 1000 to improve the appearance. The overall structure of the front panel 50 is simpler. The bracket protrusion 501 and part of the receiving groove 502 located at the first air outlet end 2021 are located on the front panel 50, which can reduce the difficulty of processing and production, thereby helping to improve production efficiency.
[0335] Furthermore, by providing a front panel 50 on the front side of the air outlet frame 20, the size and shape of the air outlet 202 can be adjusted more flexibly, thereby facilitating the optimization of airflow distribution and improving the air delivery effect of the air conditioner 1000. When it is necessary to clean or maintain the interior of the air conditioner 1000, the front panel 50 can be removed more easily without affecting the structure and function of the air outlet frame 20, which helps to simplify the maintenance process and reduce maintenance costs.
[0336] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 21 , Figure 41 , Figures 64-67 As shown, the inner wall of the receiving groove 502 is an arc-shaped surface that protrudes away from the air outlet duct 201. The rotation trajectory of the opening and closing door 300 is arc-shaped. Therefore, setting the receiving groove 502 as an arc-shaped surface can create a larger rotation space for the opening and closing door 300, so that the inner wall of the receiving groove 502 can avoid the opening and closing door 300 when it rotates into the air outlet duct 201. This avoids collision and interference between the inner wall of the receiving groove 502 and the opening and closing door 300, and the structural arrangement is reasonable.
[0337] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 21, Figure 41 , Figures 64-67 As shown, there are two air outlet ducts 201 spaced apart along the width of the air outlet frame 20, and two air outlets 202 connected to the two air outlet ducts 201 respectively. The two air outlets 202 are located along the length of the air outlet frame 20 (see attached diagram). Figure 22 The first direction shown extends along the width of the air outlet frame 20 (see attached diagram). Figure 21 As shown in the second direction, the two switch doors 300 are spaced apart and correspond to the two air outlets 202 respectively. The two switch doors 300 can rotate in directions toward and away from each other to open or close the air outlets 202. By setting two air outlet ducts 201 and two air outlets 202, the area and air delivery range of the air outlets 202 can be effectively increased, thereby improving the air delivery effect of the air outlet structure 1001 and enhancing the user experience. Each air outlet 202 is equipped with a switch door 300, which serves as a dust preventer to ensure the cleanliness of the interior of the air conditioner 1000.
[0338] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 21 As shown, when the two doors 300 open the two air outlets 202 respectively, the two doors 300 rotate toward each other. The two first air outlet ends 2021 are respectively located at the ends of the two air outlets 202 that are closer to each other in the width direction. Therefore, the rotation of the two doors 300 toward each other to open the air outlets 202 can avoid collision between the bracket protrusions 501 and the door flanges 53 at the two first air outlet ends 2021. This ensures both the rotatability of the doors 300 and the blocking effect of the door flanges 53 and the bracket protrusions 501 on the air outlet ends 2021 against airflow or impurities.
[0339] The air conditioner 1000 according to an embodiment of the present invention is described below.
[0340] An air conditioner 1000 according to an embodiment of the present utility model includes an air outlet structure 1001.
[0341] According to the embodiment of the present invention, the air conditioner 1000 is provided with an air outlet structure 1001. The door 300 has a plug-in block 521. The peripheral wall of the output shaft of the door opening and closing drive member 72 has a plug-in groove 7222 for the plug-in block 521 to be inserted. The bushing 74 is movably sleeved on the output shaft of the door opening and closing drive member 72 along the axial direction. The bushing 74 has a first position and a second position. When the plug-in block 521 is inserted into the plug-in groove 7222, in the first position, the bushing 74 is sleeved outside the part of the plug-in block 521, thereby fixing the plug-in block 521 in the plug-in groove 7222, ensuring a stable connection between the plug-in block 521 and the output shaft of the door opening and closing drive member 72, thereby ensuring the stability and reliability of the door opening and closing drive member 72 in driving the door 300 to rotate, and is convenient to operate and has high assembly efficiency. Meanwhile, in the second position, the bushing 74 and the plug block 521 are spaced apart along the axial direction of the output shaft of the door opening and closing drive 72, so that the plug block 521 can be removed from the plug slot 7222, thereby separating the plug block 521 from the output shaft of the door opening and closing drive 72, which facilitates the disassembly, assembly and maintenance of the air conditioner 1000.
[0342] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 21 , Figure 22 and Figure 41 As shown, the grille body 41 is arc-shaped, the door body 51 is arc-shaped, and the air conditioner 1000 also includes a top cover 1002. The top cover 1002 is located on one side of the air outlet frame assembly 100 along its length. The outer edge of the top cover 1002 opposite to the air outlet 202 is arc-shaped, matching the grille body 41 and the door body 51. The air outlet 202 and the air outlet frame assembly 100 extend in the vertical direction shown in the figure. The top cover 1002 is located at the upper end of the air outlet frame assembly 100 but does not block the upper end of the air outlet 202. That is, the upper end of the air outlet 202 corresponding to the grille body 41 and the door body 51 is open, which makes it convenient for operators to lift the grille body 41 and the door body 51 to a certain height to complete the installation and removal of the air guide grille 200.
[0343] The outer edge of the top cover 1002 opposite to the air outlet 202 is an arc shape that matches the grille body 41 and the door body 51. As a result, when the grille body 41 and the door body 51 are lifted to a certain height, the grille body 41 and the door body 51 can avoid each other from the top cover 1002, thereby preventing the grille body 41 and the door body 51 from colliding with the top cover 1002. This allows the operator to smoothly complete the installation and removal of the air guide grille 200 and the door 300.
