Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.
[0080] The air outlet structure 1001 according to an embodiment of the present invention is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0081] like Figure 1 , Figure 7 and Figure 20 As shown, the air outlet structure 1001 according to an embodiment of the present utility model includes an air outlet frame assembly 100 and an air guide grille 200.
[0082] Specifically, such as Figure 1 , Figure 7 , Figures 18-20As shown, the air outlet structure 1001 is used in the air conditioner 1000, which can be a floor-standing or cabinet-type air conditioner. The air outlet frame assembly 100 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 assembly 100. The air conditioner 1000 includes a housing 1005, and the air outlet frame assembly 100 is connected to the housing 1005. The housing 1005 is arranged in a vertically extending cylindrical shape to form the overall appearance of the air conditioner 1000. The housing 1005 is provided with an air inlet 1006 communicating 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. The air outlet frame assembly 100 is arranged vertically, that is, the air outlet 202 is along the vertical direction (see attached diagram). Figure 1 and attached Figure 17 The air conditioner 1000 extends in the vertical direction (as shown), thereby expanding the air outlet range of the air conditioner 1000 in the vertical direction and ensuring the air supply effect of the air conditioner 1000.
[0083] The air guide grille 200 includes a grille body 41, which is detachably and rotatably mounted at the air outlet 202. The rotation axis of the grille body 41 extends along the length of the air outlet 202. Thus, the grille body 41 can rotate about the rotation axis extending vertically. 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, thereby enabling the air conditioner 1000 to achieve the desired airflow direction. Figure 19 The air is supplied at different angles in the left and right directions to meet the user's air supply needs. The air supply angle and air supply range at the air outlet 202 can also be increased to achieve wide-angle air supply of the air outlet structure 1001, thereby improving the air supply effect of the air outlet structure 1001 and enhancing the user's comfort and experience.
[0084] Furthermore, the air guide grille 200 is detachably connected to the air outlet frame assembly 100, which enhances the flexibility and convenience of installing and removing the air guide grille 200. This facilitates future inspection, repair, or replacement of the air guide grille 200, thereby reducing the maintenance difficulty and cost of the air guide grille 200. Simultaneously, the detachable air guide grille 200 allows users to remove it for cleaning, and also facilitates cleaning the side walls of the air outlet duct 201. This improves both the ease of cleaning the air outlet structure 1001 and its cleaning effect, thus contributing to the cleanliness of the air supplied by the air conditioner 1000.
[0085] According to the air outlet structure 1001 of this utility model embodiment, by providing an air outlet duct 201 and an air outlet 202 communicating with the air outlet duct 201 on the air outlet frame assembly 100, and making the grille body 41 detachably and rotatably disposed at the air outlet 202, wherein the rotation axis of the grille body 41 extends along the length direction of the air outlet 202, the air guide grille 200 can guide the airflow and adjust the air delivery direction in the width direction of the air outlet 202 to meet the user's air delivery needs. At the same time, the detachable air guide grille 200 is convenient for users to inspect or replace, and also makes it easy for users to clean the side walls of the air guide grille 200 and the air outlet duct 201, thereby improving the cleaning convenience and cleaning effect of the air outlet structure 1001, helping to improve the cleanliness of the air delivered by the air conditioner 1000, and thus improving the user's comfort and experience.
[0086] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 1 , Figure 7 and Figure 20 As shown, the two ends of the grille body 41 along the length of the air outlet 202 are a first end 411 and a second end 412, respectively, both of which are rotatably connected to the air outlet frame assembly 100. This allows the grille body 41 to rotate around a rotation axis extending along the length of the air outlet 202, thereby enabling the air guide grille 200 to guide airflow and adjust the air delivery direction in the width direction of the air outlet 202. The fact that both ends of the grille body 41 are connected to the air outlet frame assembly 100 ensures the stability of the connection between the grille body 41 and the air outlet frame assembly 100, and also helps to improve the rotational smoothness of the air guide grille 200.
[0087] The air outlet frame assembly 100 is vertically arranged, and the air outlet 202 and the grille body 41 extend in the vertical direction. The first end 411 can be the upper end of the grille body 41, and the second end 412 can be the lower end of the grille body 41.
[0088] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As 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.
[0089] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 6-Figure 8 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.
[0090] 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.
[0091] 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.
[0092] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a rotating shaft oil groove 4221 is provided on the outer peripheral wall of the inner ring portion 422. The rotating shaft oil groove 4221 extends along the axial direction of the inner ring portion 422 and contains lubricating oil. When the air guide grille 200 rotates, it can reduce the friction between the inner ring portion 422 and the side wall of the first rotating hole 7124, thereby improving the smoothness of the rotation of the air guide grille 200 and further improving the stability of the air guide grille 200 in the width direction of the air outlet 202.
[0093] Furthermore, the fact that the rotating shaft oil groove 4221 and the inner ring portion 422 extend in the same direction helps reduce the machining difficulty of the rotating shaft oil groove 4221, thereby effectively reducing the production and machining costs of the inner ring portion 422 and the rotating shaft oil groove 4221 and improving production efficiency. On the other hand, the fact that the rotating shaft oil groove 4221 extends along the axial direction of the inner ring portion 422 ensures that the lubricating oil is evenly distributed in the axial direction of the outer peripheral wall of the inner ring portion 422, so as to ensure the lubrication effect of the lubricating oil, thereby further improving the smoothness and stability of the rotation of the inner ring portion 422 within the first rotating hole 7124.
[0094] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the outer peripheral wall of the inner ring portion 422 is provided with a rotating shaft oil groove 4221, and multiple rotating shaft oil grooves 4221 are spaced apart along the circumferential direction of the inner ring portion 422. The rotating shaft oil grooves 4221 contain lubricating oil. By providing multiple rotating shaft oil grooves 4221, the lubricating oil can be distributed at multiple points along the circumferential direction of the outer peripheral wall of the inner ring portion 422, thereby ensuring the lubrication effect of the lubricating oil. When the air guide grille 200 rotates, it effectively reduces the friction between the inner ring portion 422 and the side wall of the first rotating hole 7124, thereby improving the smoothness and stability of the rotation of the inner ring portion 422 within the first rotating hole 7124, and improving the stability of the air guide grille 200 in the width direction of the air outlet 202.
[0095] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 6-Figure 8 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.
[0096] It is understood 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 mounting component 42 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.
[0097] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 6-Figure 8 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.
[0098] Specifically, if Figure 7 As 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.
[0099] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 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.
[0100] 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.
[0101] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As 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.
[0102] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, the first mounting component 42 is spaced apart from the end face of the first end 411 of the grille body 41. In a specific embodiment, the grille body 41 extends in the vertical direction. When the air guide grille 200 is assembled to the air outlet 202, the height of the first mounting component 42 is lower than the height of the end face of the first end 411. This effectively increases the space for the grille body 41 to move vertically at the air outlet 202, making it easier to slightly raise the first mounting component 42 and install it onto the air outlet frame assembly 100 from top to bottom. It also facilitates the removal of the air guide grille 200 and prevents the first mounting component 42 from colliding with components such as the top cover 1002 above the air conditioner 1000 during installation or removal.
[0103] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 6As shown, a first reinforcing rib 425 is provided between the grille body 41 and the first mounting assembly 42. The first reinforcing rib 425 is located on the side of the first mounting assembly 42 away from the second end 412. The first reinforcing rib 425 extends along the circumferential direction of the first mounting assembly 42, and its two ends in the length direction are respectively connected to the two ends in the width direction of the grille body 41. One end of the first reinforcing rib 425 in the width direction is connected to the first mounting assembly 42, and the other end in the width direction extends in a direction away from the second end 412. This strengthens the connection between the first mounting assembly 42 and the grille body 41, thereby enhancing the structural stability of the air guide grille 200.
[0104] The end face of the first reinforcing rib 425 facing away from the second end 412 is spaced apart from the end face of the first end 411. When the air guide grille 200 is assembled to the air outlet 202 extending in the vertical direction, the height of the end face of the first reinforcing rib 425 facing away from the second end 412 is lower than the height of the end face of the first end 411. This can effectively increase the space for the first mounting component 42 to move up and down at the air outlet 202, making it easier to slightly raise the first mounting component 42 and install it onto the air outlet frame component 100 from top to bottom. At the same time, it is also easy to disassemble the air guide grille 200, which can prevent the first reinforcing rib 425 from colliding with the top cover 1002 and other components above the air conditioner 1000 during installation or disassembly.
[0105] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 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.
[0106] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 , Figure 10 and Figure 11As 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.
[0107] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 , Figures 10-17 As shown, the rotating member 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 mating rib 432. The second mounting plate 431 is connected to the grid body 41. The mating rib 432 is connected to the side of the second mounting plate 431 away from the first end 411. The mating rib 432 defines a mating groove 4321. The end of the connecting plate 301 facing the first end 411 is inserted into the mating groove 4321.
[0108] 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 mating 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 mating rib 432 can be formed into a ring or a semi-ring, thereby defining the mating groove 4321.
[0109] The connecting plate 301 extends upward toward the first end 411, making it easy for the operator to install the air guide grille 200 from top to bottom. This allows the connecting plate 301 to extend into the mating groove 4321. At the same time, the mating rib 432 can play a positioning and limiting role, limiting the connecting plate 301 in the mating 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.
[0110] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 , Figures 10-17As shown, the mating rib 432 is connected to the connecting plate 301 by a pin 45. The connecting plate 301 is provided with a first pin hole 3011, and the mating rib 432 is provided with a second pin hole 4322 opposite to the first pin hole 3011. The pin 45 passes through the first pin hole 3011 and the second pin hole 4322, and the extension direction of the pin 45 is perpendicular to the length direction of the air outlet 202.
[0111] Understandably, the first pin hole 3011 on the connecting plate 301 and the second pin hole 4322 on the mating rib 432 are aligned, allowing the pin 45 to pass through the second pin hole 4322 and the first pin hole 3011 in sequence to fix the mating rib 432 and the connecting plate 301 together. This prevents the air guide grille 200 from moving or loosening relative to the connecting plate 301, thus ensuring the connection stability between the air guide grille 200 and the rotating component 30. This, in turn, ensures the stability and reliability of the rotating component 30 driving the air guide grille 200 to rotate. Furthermore, the pin 45 connection method is relatively simple and convenient, requiring no special tools or complex operations, which can greatly shorten installation time and improve assembly efficiency. It also allows for a detachable connection between the mating rib 432 and the connecting plate 301, facilitating the disassembly and replacement of the air guide grille 200 and providing convenience for subsequent maintenance and repair.
[0112] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 , Figures 10-17 As shown, the second mounting component 43 is spaced apart from the end face of the second end 412 of the grille body 41. The grille body 41 is provided with a third pin hole 413. The third pin hole 413 is located on the side of the second mounting component 43 away from the first end 411. The third pin hole 413 is opposite to the first pin hole 3011 and the second pin hole 4322. The pin 45 is inserted into the third pin hole 413.
[0113] Understandably, the connection position between the second mounting component 43 and the rotating component 30 is in the operator's blind spot during installation. By providing a third pin hole 413 at the second end 412 of the grille body 41, which is opposite to the first pin hole 3011 and the second pin hole 4322, the operator can insert the pin 45 into the third pin hole 413, the second pin hole 4322 and the first pin hole 3011 in sequence from the side of the grille body 41 away from the second mounting component 43, so as to complete the fixed connection between the air guide grille 200 and the rotating component 30. This facilitates blind operation by the operator, further reduces the difficulty of installation, and thus shortens the installation time and improves the assembly efficiency.
[0114] At the same time, it can further reduce the difficulty of disassembly. The operator can pull out the pin 45 from the outside of the air outlet 202, and then lift the air guide grille 200 upward to complete the disassembly of the air guide grille 200. The operation is simple and convenient, which makes it easy for users to inspect or replace the air guide grille 200. It also makes it easy for users to clean the side walls of the air guide grille 200 and the air outlet duct 201, thereby improving the cleaning convenience and cleaning effect of the air outlet structure 1001, and thus improving the user's comfort and experience.
[0115] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 10-17 As shown, the pin 45 includes: a cover section 451, a pin section 452, and an elastic section 453. The cover section 451 is located on the side of the grille body 41 away from the second mounting plate 431 in the thickness direction. The pin section 452 passes through the first pin hole 3011. One end of the elastic section 453 is connected to the cover section 451, and the other end is connected to the pin section 452. The elastic section 453 passes through the second pin hole 4322 and the third pin hole 413.
[0116] The pin section 452 matches the first pin hole 3011, and the elastic section 453 matches the second pin hole 4322 and the third pin hole 413. This ensures the stability of the connection between the air guide grille 200 and the rotating component 30 and the pin 45, thus achieving a stable connection between the air guide grille 200 and the rotating component 30. Furthermore, the cross-sectional area of the cover section 451 is larger than that of the third pin hole 413. Therefore, the cover section 451 can be confined to the side of the grille body 41 away from the second mounting plate 431 in the thickness direction, thus preventing the pin 45 from fully extending into the third pin hole 413. When disassembling the air guide grille 200, the operator can easily pull out the pin 45 through the cover section 451, causing the pin section 452 to disengage from the first pin hole 3011, thereby disassembling the connection between the air guide grille 200 and the rotating component 30. The operation is simple and convenient.
[0117] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 10-17 As shown, the elastic segment 453 has a hollow structure 4531, which penetrates the elastic segment 453 in a direction perpendicular to the axis of the pin 45. The two side walls of the hollow structure 4531 in the direction perpendicular to the axis of the pin 45 can undergo slight deformation in the direction of approaching or moving away from each other, so that the elastic segment 453 has a certain elasticity in the direction perpendicular to the axis of the pin 45. This facilitates the insertion of the elastic segment 453 into the third pin hole 413 and the second pin hole 4322, which can reduce the difficulty of operation for the operator, thereby reducing the installation time and improving the assembly efficiency.
[0118] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 10-17As shown, the outer peripheral wall of the elastic segment 453 is provided with a first protrusion 454 and a second protrusion 455. The first protrusion 454 is located on the side of the second protrusion 455 near the cover segment 451. When the second mounting component 43 and the connecting plate 301 are in the plugged-in state, the first protrusion 454 and the second protrusion 455 are located between the second pin hole 4322 and the third pin hole 413. When the second mounting component 43 and the connecting plate 301 are in the disengaged state, the first protrusion 454 is located on the side of the third pin hole 413 away from the second pin hole 4322, and the second protrusion 455 is located between the second pin hole 4322 and the third pin hole 413.
[0119] It is understandable that the first protrusion 454 and the second protrusion 455 can play a positioning and limiting role. There can be multiple first protrusions 454 and multiple second protrusions 455. The multiple first protrusions 454 and multiple second protrusions 455 are respectively provided on the two outer side walls of the elastic segment 453 perpendicular to the extension direction of the hollow structure 4531 and protrude in the direction away from the hollow structure 4531, thereby enhancing the positioning and limiting effect of the first protrusions 454 and the second protrusions 455.
[0120] like Figure 14 and Figure 15 As shown in the example, when the second mounting component 43 and the connecting plate 301 are in the plugged-in state, the first protrusion 454 and the second protrusion 455 are located between the second pin hole 4322 and the third pin hole 413. At this time, the first protrusion 454 plays a limiting and positioning role, and the grille body 41 is clamped between the first protrusion 454 and the cover section 451. The first protrusion 454 can prevent the pin 45 from moving away from the connecting plate 301, thereby preventing the pin section 452 from coming out of the first pin hole 3011. It can also prevent the air guide grille 200 from moving or loosening relative to the connecting plate 301, thereby ensuring the connection stability between the air guide grille 200 and the rotating component 30, and further ensuring the stability and reliability of the rotating component 30 driving the air guide grille 200 to rotate.
[0121] like Figure 16 and Figure 17As shown in the example, when the second mounting component 43 and the connecting plate 301 are disengaged, the first protrusion 454 is located on the side of the third pin hole 413 away from the second pin hole 4322, and the second protrusion 455 is located between the second pin hole 4322 and the third pin hole 413. At this time, the first protrusion 454 and the second protrusion 455 simultaneously play a positioning and limiting role. The pin shaft section 452 is disengaged from the first pin hole 3011, and the grille body 41 is limited between the first protrusion 454 and the second protrusion 455. In this way, the connection between the second mounting component 43 and the connecting plate 301 can be disassembled, and the pin 45 can be prevented from being completely disengaged from the third pin hole 413. This keeps the pin 45 connected to the grille body 41 and the mating rib 432, thereby avoiding the risk of the pin 45 being lost and making it convenient for the air guide grille 200 to be installed again using the pin 45.
[0122] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 10-17 As shown, the first protrusion 454 has a first inclined surface 4541, and the second protrusion 455 has a second inclined surface 4551. In the direction from the cover section 451 to the pin section 452, the first inclined surface 4541 is inclined in a direction away from the hollow structure 4531, and the second inclined surface 4551 is inclined in a direction away from the hollow structure 4531. The inclination angle of the first inclined surface 4541 is greater than the inclination angle of the second inclined surface 4551.
[0123] It is understandable that, in the direction from the cover section 451 to the pin section 452, the angle at which the first inclined surface 4541 is inclined away from the hollow structure 4531 is greater than the angle at which the second inclined surface 4551 is inclined away from the hollow structure 4531. For example, the first inclined surface 4541 can be perpendicular to the side wall of the pin section 452, and the second inclined surface 4551 can be inclined at 60 degrees away from the hollow structure 4531. This enhances the positioning and limiting capabilities of the first protrusion 454. When the second mounting component 43 and the connecting plate 301 are in the plugged-in state, the first protrusion 454's ability to confine the grille body 41 between the first protrusion 454 and the cover section 451 is enhanced. This better prevents the pin 45 from moving away from the connecting plate 301, thereby better preventing the pin section 452 from coming out of the first pin hole 3011. It also prevents the air guide grille 200 from moving or loosening relative to the connecting plate 301, thereby enhancing the connection stability between the air guide grille 200 and the rotating component 30. This, in turn, enhances the stability and reliability of the rotating component 30 driving the air guide grille 200 to rotate.
[0124] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 10-17As shown, the first protrusion 454 has a third inclined surface 4542, and the second protrusion 455 has a fourth inclined surface 4552. In the direction from the cover section 451 to the pin section 452, the third inclined surface 4542 is inclined toward the hollow structure 4531, and the inclination angle of the first inclined surface 4541 is greater than the inclination angle of the third inclined surface 4542. The fourth inclined surface 4552 is inclined toward the hollow structure 4531, and the inclination angle of the second inclined surface 4551 is greater than the inclination angle of the fourth inclined surface 4552.
[0125] It is understandable that, in the direction from the cover section 451 to the pin section 452, the angle at which the first inclined surface 4541 is inclined away from the hollow structure 4531 is greater than the angle at which the third inclined surface 4542 is inclined towards the hollow structure 4531, and the angle at which the second inclined surface 4551 is inclined away from the hollow structure 4531 is greater than the angle at which the fourth inclined surface 4552 is inclined towards the hollow structure 4531. Therefore, the resistance of the first protrusion 454 and the second protrusion 455 when inserting into the third pin hole 413 is less than the resistance when pulling out of the third pin hole 413. This makes it easier for the operator to insert the pin 45 into the third pin hole 413, thereby reducing installation difficulty and improving assembly efficiency. It also ensures that the pin 45 is not easily dislodged from the third pin hole 413, thus ensuring the positioning and limiting function of the first protrusion 454 and the second protrusion 455, thereby ensuring the connection stability of the second mounting component 43 and the rotating component 30, and avoiding the risk of the pin 45 falling off or being lost.
[0126] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 13-17 As shown, a groove 414 is provided on the side of the grille body 41 facing away from the second mounting component 43 in the thickness direction. A third pin hole 413 is formed on the bottom wall of the groove 414, and at least a portion of the cover section 451 is located within the groove 414. The groove 414 is recessed along the thickness direction of the grille body 41 towards the second mounting component 43, so that the cover section 451 can be disposed within the groove 414. This avoids the cover section 451 protruding from the side of the grille body 41 facing away from the second mounting component 43 in the thickness direction, or it can reduce the height of the cover section 451 protruding from the side of the grille body 41 facing away from the second mounting component 43 in the thickness direction. This reduces the space occupied by the cover section 451, avoids interference or collision with other components of the air conditioner 1000, and also improves the aesthetics of the side of the grille body 41 facing away from the second mounting component 43 in the thickness direction.
[0127] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 13-17As shown, at least one sidewall of the groove 414 is spaced apart from the cover section 451, and the maximum gap between the sidewall of the groove 414 and the cover section 451 is h, satisfying: 1mm≤h≤10mm. By setting a gap between the sidewall of the groove 414 and the cover section 451, when the air guide grille 200 needs to be disassembled, the operator can insert tools such as screwdrivers into the gap to apply force to the cover section 451 embedded in the groove 414, thereby prying out the pin 45 to complete the separation of the second mounting component 43 and the connecting plate 301. This reduces the difficulty of disassembly, facilitates the operation of the operator, and thus reduces the disassembly time and improves the disassembly efficiency.
[0128] If h is less than 1mm, the gap between the sidewall of the groove 414 and the cover section 451 is too narrow, making it difficult for operators to insert tools such as screwdrivers into the gap, thus increasing the difficulty of disassembly. If h is greater than 10mm, the gap between the sidewall of the groove 414 and the cover section 451 is too wide, which is detrimental to the connection stability of the second mounting component 43 and the connecting plate 301, and also reduces the aesthetic appearance. Therefore, ensuring that 1mm≤h≤10mm facilitates the insertion of tools such as screwdrivers into the gap, reducing the difficulty of disassembly, thereby shortening the disassembly time and improving the disassembly efficiency, while also improving the aesthetic appearance of the side of the grille body 41 facing away from the second mounting component 43 in the thickness direction.
[0129] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 1 , Figure 4 , Figure 7 and Figure 9 As shown, the air outlet frame assembly 100 has an intermediate support portion 40 located at the air outlet 202. The intermediate support portion 40 is spaced apart from both ends of the air outlet 202 in the length direction. The air guide grille 200 also includes a third mounting component 44. The third mounting component 44 is disposed on one side of the grille body 41 in the thickness direction and is spaced apart from the first end 411 and the second end 412. The third mounting component 44 is rotatably connected to the intermediate support portion 40.
[0130] It is understandable that the third mounting component 44 can be located at the middle position along the length of the grille body 41. By setting the third mounting component 44 on one side along the thickness direction of the grille body 41, it is convenient to connect the thickness direction side of the middle position along the length of the air guide grille 200 to the air outlet frame assembly 100. This reduces the installation difficulty of the air guide grille 200, enhances the connection strength and stability between the air guide grille 200 and the support of the air outlet frame assembly 100, and also ensures 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 third mounting component 44 is rotatably connected to the intermediate support 40, which ensures 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.
[0131] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 1 , Figure 4 , Figure 7 and Figure 9 As shown, the intermediate support portion 40 has a connection hole 401, and 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 the side of the third mounting plate 441 facing the second end 412. The mounting ring 442 is rotatably disposed in the connection hole 401.
[0132] 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 the side of the third mounting plate 441 facing the second end 412, 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 extends towards the second end 412, i.e., downwards. The connecting hole 401 also extends in the vertical direction. Thus, the mounting ring 442 can cooperate with the connecting hole 401 to form a rotatable 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.
[0133] 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 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.
[0134] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 1 , Figure 4 , Figure 7 and Figure 9As shown, the third mounting assembly 44 also includes a rotary bearing 443, which is disposed between the mounting ring 442 and the intermediate support portion 40. The rotary bearing 443 separates the mounting ring 442 and the intermediate support portion 40, reducing friction between them and thus reducing frictional heat and wear, thereby extending their service life. Simultaneously, by providing the rotary bearing 443, the stability and reliability of the rotational connection between the mounting ring 442 and the intermediate support portion 40 are improved, thereby ensuring the stability and reliability of the air guide grille 200's rotation in the width direction of the air outlet 202 and the air guidance itself.
[0135] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 9 As 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.
[0136] 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.
[0137] 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.
[0138] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 9As shown, the outer peripheral wall of the rotary bearing 443 is provided with an outer oil groove 4432, which extends along the axial direction of the rotary bearing 443. Multiple outer oil grooves 4432 are spaced apart along the circumferential direction of the rotary bearing 443. The outer oil grooves 4432 contain lubricating oil, which can reduce the friction between the intermediate support part 40 and the outer peripheral wall of the rotary bearing 443 when the air guide grille 200 rotates. This improves the smoothness of the rotation of the air guide grille 200 and, consequently, enhances the stability of the air guide grille 200 in guiding airflow in the width direction of the air outlet 202.
[0139] 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.
[0140] 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 40, thereby ensuring the lubrication effect of the lubricating oil. When the air guide grille 200 rotates, the friction between the intermediate support 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 40, and improving the stability of the air guide grille 200 in the width direction of the air outlet 202.
[0141] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the third mounting assembly 44 also 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 facing the second end 412. In the direction away from the axis of the mounting ring 442, the end face of the third guide rib 444 facing the second end 412 is inclined toward the second end 412.
[0142] 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 second end 412. At the same time, in the direction away from the axis of the mounting ring 442, the lower end face of the third guide rib 444 is inclined toward the second end 412. When the operator fastens the mounting ring 442 into the connection hole 401 from top to bottom, the connection position of the third mounting component 44 and the air outlet frame component 100 is in the operator's blind spot. The lower end face of the inclined third guide rib 444 can play a guiding role, which can guide the mounting ring 442 to the top of the connection hole 401 so that it can be fastened into the connection hole 401. This makes it easy for the operator to operate blindly, and the installation is convenient and simple to operate, which can effectively improve the assembly efficiency of the air outlet structure 1001.
[0143] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 1 and Figure 4 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, so that the end faces of the multiple third guide ribs 444 facing the second end 412 can simultaneously play a guiding role. This enhances the stability of the guiding function of the third guide ribs 444 and also improves the accuracy of guiding the mounting ring 442 into the connecting hole 401, thereby reducing the installation difficulty of the air guide grille 200 and improving the assembly efficiency of the air outlet structure 1001.
[0144] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 1 As shown, the grille body 41 includes vertical guide ribs 415 and horizontal reinforcing ribs 416. Multiple vertical guide ribs 415 are spaced apart along the width of the grille body 41 and extend along the length of the air outlet 202. Multiple horizontal reinforcing ribs 416 are also spaced apart along the length of the air outlet 202 and extend along the width of the grille body 41. The horizontal reinforcing ribs 416 are connected to the vertical guide ribs 415. The staggered arrangement of the horizontal reinforcing ribs 416 and the vertical guide ribs 415 improves the structural strength of the grille body 41 and enhances the airflow guidance effect of the air guide grille 200. This prevents hands or other foreign objects from entering the air outlet duct 201, meeting safety regulations and protecting user safety, thereby improving the user experience. Furthermore, there is no need to install additional components such as wire mesh at the air outlet 202, thus reducing the cost of the air outlet structure 1001 and improving the noise level of the airflow.
[0145] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 18-20As shown, there are multiple air outlet ducts 201 spaced apart along the width of the air outlet frame assembly 100, and multiple air outlets 202 corresponding to the multiple air outlet ducts 201. Setting multiple interconnected air outlet ducts 201 and air outlets 202 can effectively expand the air outlet of the air conditioner 1000 along the width of the air outlet frame assembly 100 (e.g., ...). Figure 20 The air supply range (shown in the left and right directions) and the air outlet area of the air conditioner 1000 are expanded, thereby improving the air supply effect of the air conditioner 1000 and accelerating the cooling or heating efficiency, making the indoor temperature more uniform.
[0146] The following describes an air conditioner 1000 according to an embodiment of the present invention.
[0147] The air conditioner 1000 according to an embodiment of the present utility model includes the air outlet structure 1001 described above.
[0148] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the air conditioner 1000, by providing an air outlet duct 201 and an air outlet 202 communicating with the air outlet duct 201 on the air outlet frame assembly 100, and by detachably and rotatably mounting the grille body 41 at the air outlet 202, wherein the rotation axis of the grille body 41 extends along the length direction of the air outlet 202, can guide the airflow and adjust the air delivery direction in the width direction of the air outlet 202 to meet the user's air delivery needs. Simultaneously, the detachable air guide grille 200 facilitates user inspection or replacement, and also facilitates user cleaning of the sidewalls of the air guide grille 200 and the air outlet duct 201, thereby improving the cleaning convenience and effect of the air outlet structure 1001, contributing to the improvement of the cleanliness of the air delivered by the air conditioner 1000, and thus enhancing the user's comfort and experience.
[0149] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 1 , Figures 18-20 As shown, the grille body 41 is arc-shaped, and the air conditioner 1000 also includes a top cover 1002, which 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. The air outlet 202 and the air outlet frame assembly 100 are along... Figure 18 Extending vertically as shown, 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 is open, which makes it easy for the operator to lift the grille body 41 to a certain height to complete the installation and removal of the air guide grille 200.
[0150] The outer edge of the top cover 1002 opposite to the air outlet 202 is an arc shape that matches the grille body 41. Thus, when the grille body 41 is lifted to a certain height, the grille body 41 and the top cover 1002 can avoid each other, thereby preventing the grille body 41 and the top cover 1002 from colliding with each other, so that the operator can smoothly complete the installation and removal of the air guide grille 200.
