Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0047] The following is for reference. Figures 1-7 Description of the air guide grille 200 according to an embodiment of the present utility model.

[0048] like Figures 1-7 As shown, the air guide grille 200 according to an embodiment of the present utility model includes: grille body 210.

[0049] Specifically, refer to Figures 1-8 The air guide grille 200 is used in the air conditioner 1000, which has an air outlet 202 on its side wall. The air guide grille 200 is located at the air outlet 202. The upper end of the grille body 210 has a water receiving groove 46 for receiving liquid from the upper part of the air conditioner 1000. It should be noted that the grille body 210 extends along the length of the air outlet 202 to guide airflow and prevent users' fingers from getting in.

[0050] Understandably, since the upper end of the grille body 210 has a water receiving groove 46, liquid can flow from the gap at the upper end of the air conditioner 1000 to the water receiving groove 46, preventing the liquid from flowing directly onto the electrical components inside the air conditioner 1000, thereby avoiding damage to the electrical components and improving the safety of the air conditioner 1000 during use.

[0051] According to the embodiment of the present utility model, the air guide grille 200 is provided at the air outlet 202 on the side wall of the air conditioner 1000. The upper end of the grille body 210 has a water receiving groove 46 for receiving liquid from the upper end of the air conditioner 1000. This allows the liquid to flow from the gap at the upper end of the air conditioner 1000 to the water receiving groove 46, preventing the liquid from flowing directly onto the electrical components inside the air conditioner 1000, thereby avoiding damage to the electrical components and improving the safety of the air conditioner 1000 during use.

[0052] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figures 1-6As shown, the grille body 210 includes: a grille body 41, a first mounting plate 421, and a first baffle 426. The grille body 41 extends along the length direction of the air outlet 202. The first mounting plate 421 is connected to the upper end of one side of the grille body 41 in the thickness direction. The first baffle 426 is disposed on the edge of the first mounting plate 421 and connected to the first mounting plate 421. Both ends of the first baffle 426 in the length direction are connected to the grille body 41. A water receiving groove 46 is formed between the first mounting plate 421, the first baffle 426, and the grille body 41.

[0053] It is understood that the first mounting plate 421 is spaced apart from the upper end of the grille body 41, and the first baffle 426 is disposed at the edge of the first mounting plate 421 and extends along the width direction of the grille body 41. Thus, a water receiving trough 46 of this utility model can be formed. The grille body 41 and the first baffle 426 can prevent liquid from flowing out along the edge of the first mounting plate 421. Furthermore, because the first mounting plate 421 is spaced apart from the upper end of the grille body 41, the depth of the water receiving trough 46 can be increased, increasing the water storage capacity and preventing excessive liquid from overflowing. The first mounting plate 421 can also prevent liquid from flowing directly downwards. Therefore, the first mounting plate 421, the first baffle 426, and the grille body 41 form a water receiving trough 46, further preventing liquid from flowing directly onto the electrical components inside the air conditioner 1000, thereby avoiding damage to the electrical components and improving the safety of the air conditioner 1000 during use.

[0054] Furthermore, such as Figures 1-7 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 direction of the grille body 41 and extend along the length direction of the air outlet 202 (e.g., the vertical direction in this invention). Multiple horizontal reinforcing ribs 416 are spaced apart along the length direction of the air outlet 202 and extend along the width direction of the grille body 41. The horizontal reinforcing ribs 416 are connected to the vertical guide ribs 415. Thus, the grille body 41 of this invention is formed. The multiple horizontal reinforcing ribs 416 spaced apart along the length direction of the air outlet 202 and extending along the width direction of the grille body 41 ensure the structural strength of the grille body 41 and allow an air outlet area to be formed between the horizontal reinforcing ribs 416 and the vertical guide ribs 415, thereby facilitating air outlet.

[0055] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 and Figure 6As shown, a first reinforcing rib 425 is provided between the first mounting plate 421 and the grille body 41. The first reinforcing rib 425 is located on the upper side of the first mounting plate 421 and passes through the bottom wall of the water receiving tank 46. One end of the first reinforcing rib 425 is connected to the grille body 41, and the other end extends towards the first baffle 426. This enhances the structural strength of the grille body 210, making it more durable.

[0056] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, the first reinforcing ribs 425 are multiple ribs spaced apart along the width direction of the grille body 41, thereby further enhancing the structural strength of the grille body 210 and making the grille body 210 more durable. For example, in Figure 2 and Figure 6 In the example shown, there are 3 first reinforcing ribs 425, but the present invention is not limited to this. The number of first reinforcing ribs 425 can also be other numbers, such as 2, 4, 5 or 6.

[0057] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the first mounting plate 421 has a drain hole 461. This allows liquid to drain from the water tank 46, preventing liquid from accumulating and overflowing, and further preventing liquid from flowing directly onto the electrical components inside the air conditioner 1000, thereby avoiding damage to the electrical components and improving the safety of the air conditioner 1000 during use.

[0058] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the drain hole 461 is located on one side of the grille body 41 in the width direction and at the connection between the grille body 41 and the first mounting plate 421. Therefore, when liquid is discharged from the drain hole 461, it can flow along the side wall of the grille body 41 to the bottom of the air conditioner 1000 and out. This makes the side wall of the grille body 41 a guide, preventing liquid from flowing turbulently within the air conditioner 1000 and further preventing liquid from flowing onto the electrical components inside the air conditioner 1000, thus avoiding damage to the electrical components and improving the safety of the air conditioner 1000 during use.

[0059] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 5 and Figure 7As shown, the grille body 210 includes a second mounting plate 431, which is located at the lower end of one side of the grille body 41 in the thickness direction and is connected to the grille body 41. It is understood that the lower end of the second mounting plate 431 has electrical components such as a motor, and the second mounting plate 431 is used to mount these components. The upper surface of the second mounting plate 431 is smooth and closed, thereby preventing liquid from flowing to the electrical components such as the motor at the lower end of the second mounting plate 431, thus avoiding damage to the electrical components and improving the safety of the air conditioner 1000 during use.

[0060] Furthermore, such as Figures 2-4 As shown, the first mounting plate 421 has a drain hole 461, which is located on one side of the grille body 41 in the width direction and at the connection between the grille body 41 and the first mounting plate 421. Since the second mounting plate 431 is connected to the grille body 41, liquid from the drain hole 461 can flow along the side wall of the grille body 41 to the upper surface of the second mounting plate 431, and then to the bottom of the air conditioner 1000. This achieves directional discharge of the liquid, further preventing liquid from flowing onto the electrical components inside the air conditioner 1000, thus avoiding damage to the electrical components and improving the safety of the air conditioner 1000 during use.

[0061] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, the grille body 210 includes: a second baffle 433, which is disposed on the edge of the second mounting plate 431 and connected to the second mounting plate 431, and the two ends of the second baffle 433 in the length direction are connected to the grille body 41.

[0062] Understandably, the second baffle 433 serves two purposes. First, it acts as a barrier, preventing liquid from flowing towards the motor and other electrical components at the lower end of the second mounting plate 431, thus avoiding damage to these components and improving the safety of the air conditioner 1000 during use. Second, it acts as a guide, allowing liquid on the upper surface of the second mounting plate 431 to flow along the second baffle 433 to the bottom of the air conditioner 1000, achieving directional drainage and further preventing liquid from flowing onto the electrical components inside the air conditioner 1000, thereby avoiding damage to these components and improving the safety of the air conditioner 1000 during use.

[0063] The following is for reference. Figures 8-13 This invention describes an air conditioner 1000 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0064] like Figures 8-13 As shown, the air conditioner 1000 according to an embodiment of the present utility model includes: an air outlet frame assembly 100 and the aforementioned air guide grille 200.

[0065] Specifically, refer to Figures 8-13 The air outlet frame assembly 100 has an air outlet 202, and the air guide grille 200 is located at the air outlet 202. Thus, the air guide grille 200 achieves the air guiding function.

[0066] According to the embodiment of the present utility model, the air conditioner 1000 has an air outlet 202 on its side wall by setting the air guide grille 200. The air guide grille 200 is located at the air outlet 202. The upper end of the grille body 210 has a water receiving groove 46 for receiving liquid from the upper end of the air conditioner 1000. This allows the liquid to flow from the gap at the upper end of the air conditioner 1000 to the water receiving groove 46, preventing the liquid from flowing directly onto the electrical components inside the air conditioner 1000, thereby avoiding damage to the electrical components and improving the safety of the air conditioner 1000 during use.

[0067] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 8-13 As shown, the air conditioner 1000 also includes: a top cover 1002 and a water receiving tray. The top cover 1002 is located above the air outlet frame assembly 100, and the upper end of the air outlet frame assembly 100 is open. The top cover 1002 has a connecting hole 1003. The water receiving tray is located below the air outlet frame assembly 100 and is used to receive liquid from the connecting hole 1003.

[0068] Understandably, when liquid flows into the connecting hole 1003 instead of into the water receiving tray 46, the liquid can flow from the connecting hole 1003 to the water receiving tray, thus allowing the liquid at the top of the air conditioner 1000 to be discharged through another path. This further prevents the liquid from flowing directly onto the electrical components inside the air conditioner 1000, thereby avoiding damage to the electrical components and improving the safety of the air conditioner 1000 during use.

[0069] Furthermore, if Figure 8 As shown, the grille body 41 is arc-shaped, and the outer edge of the top cover 1002 opposite to the air outlet 202 is also arc-shaped to match the grille body 41. This facilitates the installation of the grille body 41 and the top cover 1002, avoids installation interference between the grille body 41 and the top cover 1002, and improves installation efficiency.

[0070] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 8 and Figure 9As shown, the upper side of the top cover 1002 has a water inlet trough 1004, and a connecting hole 1003 is provided on the bottom wall of the water inlet trough 1004. It can be understood that the water inlet trough 1004 increases the water capacity above the top cover 1002, preventing excessive water from failing to drain from the connecting hole 1003 in time and flowing directly down the perimeter of the top cover 1002 onto the electrical components inside the air conditioner 1000. This further prevents damage to the electrical components and improves the safety of the air conditioner 1000 during use.

[0071] In some embodiments of this utility model, the bottom wall of the water inlet trough 1004 is provided with a plurality of connecting holes 1003, thereby improving drainage efficiency and preventing liquid from accumulating in the water inlet trough 1004.

[0072] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, there are multiple water inlets 1004. This further improves drainage efficiency, thereby further preventing liquid from flowing directly onto the electrical components inside the air conditioner 1000, thus avoiding damage to the electrical components and improving the safety of the air conditioner 1000 during use.

[0073] The bottom wall of the water channel 1004 has at least one connecting hole 1003 for drainage. For example, in Figure 8 and Figure 9 In the example shown, a connecting hole 1003 is provided on the bottom wall of the water inlet trough 1004. However, the present invention is not limited to this. More connecting holes 1003 may be provided on the bottom wall of the water inlet trough 1004, such as 2, 3, 4 or 5.

[0074] For example in Figure 8 and Figure 9 In the example shown, there are two water inlet troughs 1004, but the present invention is not limited to this. There can be more water inlet troughs 1004, such as three, four, five or six, etc.

[0075] Furthermore, in the top-to-bottom direction, the peripheral walls of the water inlet channel 1004 extend at inclinations toward each other, thereby facilitating the introduction of water into the water inlet channel 1004 and further improving drainage efficiency.

[0076] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 8As shown, in a projection perpendicular to the vertical direction, the projection of the top cover 1002 at least partially falls into the projection of the water collection tank 46. Therefore, the outer edge of the top cover 1002 opposite to the air outlet 202 and the leeward edge of the water collection tank 46 are arranged sequentially and spaced apart in the direction of airflow, allowing liquid to smoothly enter and flow into the water collection tank 46. This further prevents liquid from directly flowing onto the electrical components inside the air conditioner 1000, thus avoiding damage to the electrical components and improving the safety of the air conditioner 1000 during use.

[0077] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 8 As shown, there are multiple air outlets 202 spaced apart along the width of the air outlet frame assembly 100, and multiple air guide grilles 200 corresponding one-to-one with the multiple air outlets 202. This improves the air outlet efficiency of the air conditioner 1000, thereby improving the cooling or heating efficiency of the air conditioner 1000. For example, in... Figure 8 In the example shown, there are two air outlets 202 spaced apart along the width of the air outlet frame assembly 100, and there are also two air guide grilles 200. However, this utility model is not limited to this. There can be more air outlets 202 and more air guide grilles 200, such as 3, 4, 5 or 6.

[0078] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figures 9-11 As shown, the lower surface of the top cover 1002 has a drainage protrusion 1009, through which a connecting hole 1003 passes. This allows water to be better guided to flow in a specific direction (e.g., a drip tray), thereby avoiding water turbulence and protecting the electrical components inside the air conditioner 1000.

[0079] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figures 9-11 As shown, the lower end of the drainage protrusion 1009 is inclined upwards in the front-to-back direction. This causes the lower end of the drainage protrusion 1009 to form a pointed outlet, which can effectively guide the liquid flow, allowing the liquid to flow smoothly down the wall of the connecting hole 1003 instead of dripping directly. This avoids splashing when the liquid drips, further protecting the electrical components inside the air conditioner 1000.

[0080] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figures 9-11As shown, in the front-to-back direction, the upper surface of the top cover 1002 extends downward at an angle, and the connecting hole 1003 is located on the rear side of the water inlet trough 1004. Thus, the connecting hole 1003 is located at the lowest point of the water inlet trough 1004, which facilitates the water in the water inlet trough 1004 to drain evenly into the connecting hole 1003, further preventing water accumulation in the water inlet trough 1004, and further preventing liquid from flowing directly onto the electrical components inside the air conditioner 1000, thereby avoiding damage to the electrical components and improving the safety of the air conditioner 1000 during use.

[0081] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 9 , Figure 12 and Figure 13 As shown, the upper end of the air outlet frame assembly 100 has a water storage tank 2020, which is arranged opposite to the connecting hole 1003 in the vertical direction to receive water on the top cover 1002. The air conditioner 1000 also includes a water receiving tray, which is located below the air outlet frame assembly 100 to receive water in the water storage tank 2020.

[0082] Understandably, the water storage tank 2020 and the connecting hole 1003 are arranged opposite each other in the vertical direction, so that water from the connecting hole 1003 can be collected in the water storage tank 2020, preventing water from flowing into the electrical components inside the air conditioner 1000, thus protecting the electrical components inside the air conditioner 1000. Due to the arrangement of the water storage tank 2020, the air outlet frame assembly 100 can hold more water, preventing water from the connecting hole 1003 from overflowing and flowing into the electrical components inside the air conditioner 1000, thus protecting the electrical components inside the air conditioner 1000 and improving safety.

[0083] Meanwhile, the water receiving tray has a drainage trough, and the water storage tank 2020 is connected to the drainage trough in the water receiving tray, so that the water in the water storage tank 2020 can eventually be discharged to the drainage trough, realizing the discharge of water from the air conditioner 1000.

[0084] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 9 , Figure 12 and Figure 13 As shown, a drain hole 2026 is provided on the bottom wall of the water storage tank 2020. This allows the water in the water storage tank 2020 to drain to the water receiving tray, preventing water from the connecting hole 1003 from overflowing the water storage tank 2020 and flowing into the electrical components inside the air conditioner 1000, thereby protecting the electrical components inside the air conditioner 1000.

[0085] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 9 , Figure 12 and Figure 13As shown, the bottom wall of the water storage tank 2020 has raised ribs 2025. This enhances the structural strength of the upper part of the air outlet frame assembly 100.

[0086] Furthermore, the non-water storage tank 2020 portion at the upper end of the air outlet frame assembly 100 is also provided with raised ribs 2025, thereby further enhancing the structural strength of the upper end of the air outlet frame assembly 100.

[0087] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 9 , Figure 12 and Figure 13 As shown, multiple protruding ribs 2025 are arranged in a cross pattern, thereby further enhancing the structural strength of the upper part of the air outlet frame assembly 100. Furthermore, the cross arrangement of the multiple protruding ribs 2025 forms a unified whole, further strengthening the structural strength of the upper part of the air outlet frame assembly 100.

[0088] Alternatively, the raised ribs 2025 may be multiple spaced apart. This further enhances the structural strength of the upper part of the air outlet frame assembly 100. Furthermore, the spaced arrangement of multiple raised ribs 2025 increases the water storage space, further preventing water from the connecting hole 1003 from overflowing the water storage tank 2020 and flowing into the electrical components inside the air conditioner 1000, thereby protecting the electrical components inside the air conditioner 1000.

[0089] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 9 , Figure 12 and Figure 13 As shown, the bottom wall of the water storage tank 2020 has a drain protrusion 2024, and a drain hole 2026 penetrates the drain protrusion 2024. The drain protrusion 2024 is higher than the protruding rib 2025. Therefore, when the water level in the water storage tank 2020 is higher than the drain protrusion 2024, water can flow from the drain hole 2026 to the water receiving tray, thus preventing the water receiving tray from receiving too much water at once and overflowing.

[0090] Furthermore, if Figure 9 , Figure 12 and Figure 13 As shown, the opening of the water storage tank 2020 is higher than the drain protrusion 2024. This further prevents water from the connecting hole 1003 from overflowing from the water storage tank 2020 and flowing into the electrical components inside the air conditioner 1000, thereby protecting the electrical components inside the air conditioner 1000.

[0091] The following describes an air conditioner 1000 according to a specific embodiment of the present invention. It is to be understood that the following description is merely exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0092] like Figure 8 As shown, the air conditioner 1000 according to an embodiment of the present utility model includes: an air outlet frame assembly 100, a top cover 1002, the aforementioned air guide grille 200, and a water receiving tray.

[0093] Furthermore, such as Figure 8 As shown, a top cover 1002 is positioned above the air outlet frame assembly 100, with the upper end of the air outlet frame assembly 100 open. The top cover 1002 has a connecting hole 1003. A water receiving tray is positioned below the air outlet frame assembly 100 to receive liquid from the connecting hole 1003. A water inlet trough 1004 is located on the upper side of the top cover 1002, and the connecting hole 1003 is located on the bottom wall of the water inlet trough 1004. There are two water inlet troughs 1004. In a projection perpendicular to the vertical direction, the projection of the top cover 1002 at least partially falls within the projection of the water receiving trough 46.

[0094] Furthermore, such as Figures 1-7 As shown, the air outlet frame assembly 100 has an air outlet 202, and an air guide grille 200 is provided at the air outlet 202. The air outlets 202 are multiple ones spaced apart along the width direction of the air outlet frame assembly 100, and the air guide grilles 200 are multiple ones corresponding to the multiple air outlets 202.

[0095] Furthermore, such as Figures 1-7 As shown, the air guide grille 200 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a grille body 210. The air guide grille 200 is used in an air conditioner 1000, which has an air outlet 202 on its side wall. The air guide grille 200 is disposed at the air outlet 202. The upper end of the grille body 210 has a water receiving groove 46 for receiving liquid from the upper end of the air conditioner 1000.

[0096] Furthermore, such as Figures 1-7As shown, the grille body 210 includes: a grille body 41, a first mounting plate 421, a first baffle 426, a second mounting plate 431, and a second baffle 433. The grille body 41 extends along the length direction of the air outlet 202; the first mounting plate 421 is connected to the upper end of one side of the grille body 41 in the thickness direction; the first baffle 426 is disposed on the edge of the first mounting plate 421 and connected to the first mounting plate 421, and both ends of the first baffle 426 in the length direction are connected to the grille body 41, forming a water receiving groove 46 between the first mounting plate 421, the first baffle 426, and the grille body 41. The first mounting plate 421 has a drain hole 461, which is disposed on one side of the grille body 41 in the width direction and at the position where the grille body 41 is connected to the first mounting plate 421. The second mounting plate 431 is disposed at the lower end of one side of the grille body 41 in the thickness direction and is connected to the grille body 41. The second baffle 433 is located on the edge of the second mounting plate 431 and connected to the second mounting plate 431. Both ends of the second baffle 433 in the length direction are connected to the grille body 41.

[0097] Therefore, by setting an air outlet 202 on the side wall of the air conditioner 1000, and a guide grille 200 at the air outlet 202, the upper end of the grille body 210 has a water receiving trough 46 for receiving liquid from the upper end of the air conditioner 1000, so that the liquid can flow from the gap at the upper end of the air conditioner 1000 to the water receiving trough 46, avoiding the liquid from flowing directly onto the electrical components inside the air conditioner 1000, thereby avoiding damage to the electrical components and improving the safety of the air conditioner 1000 during use.
