[0068] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0069] like Figures 1 to 9 As shown, Embodiment 1 of this utility model provides a grille structure, which includes a low-speed ventilation section 10 and a high-speed ventilation section 20 connected to each other. The high-speed ventilation section 20 is arranged around the outer edge of the low-speed ventilation section 10. The low-speed ventilation section 10 includes a plurality of first annular ribs 11 arranged radially spaced along the grille structure and a plurality of first radial ribs 12 arranged circumferentially spaced along the grille structure, with the first radial ribs 12 connected to the plurality of first annular ribs 11. The high-speed ventilation section 20 includes a plurality of second annular ribs 21 arranged radially spaced along the grille structure and a plurality of second radial ribs 22 arranged circumferentially spaced along the grille structure, with the second radial ribs 22 connected to the plurality of second annular ribs 21. The grille structure has a windward side and a leeward side arranged opposite to each other; as shown... Figure 1 As shown, on the windward side, the low-speed ventilation section 10 protrudes from the high-speed ventilation section 20.

[0070] By employing the grille structure provided in this embodiment, the high-speed ventilation section 20 is positioned further away from the windward side compared to the low-speed ventilation section 10. This reduces the inlet angle of attack of the high-speed ventilation section 20, particularly the inlet angle of attack of the second radial rib 22, thereby reducing impact loss and interference separation noise. Therefore, it solves the problem of excessive noise typically caused by exhaust grilles in the prior art.

[0071] In this embodiment, the circumferential distribution density of the multiple second radial ribs 22 is greater than that of the multiple first radial ribs 12. The inner first radial ribs 12 adopt a low-density, weakly rectifying rib design to adapt to the low-speed turbulent airflow of the inner layer, suppress the size and intensity of the rib tail vortex shedding, reduce noise, and increase airflow. The outer second radial ribs 22 adopt a high-density, strongly rectifying rib design to adapt to and manage the high-speed rotating airflow of the outer layer, reduce wind resistance, and increase airflow.

[0072] Preferably, in this embodiment, the outer high-speed ventilation section 20 and the inner low-speed ventilation section 10 are independently designed. The outer straight grille adopts a high-density, strong-rectification rib design to adapt to and manage the high-speed rotating airflow of the outer layer, reducing wind resistance and increasing air volume; the inner arc-shaped grille adopts a low-density, weak-rectification rib design to adapt to the low-speed turbulent airflow of the inner layer, suppressing the size and intensity of the rib tail vortex shedding, reducing noise and increasing air volume.

[0073] The maximum spacing between two adjacent second radial ribs 22 is less than the minimum spacing between two adjacent first radial ribs 12, so that the circumferential distribution density of the multiple second radial ribs 22 is greater than the circumferential distribution density of the multiple first radial ribs 12.

[0074] Specifically, the projections of the outer edges of the grille structure and the low-speed ventilation section 10 onto the vertical plane of the grille structure are both circular. The diameter corresponding to the projection of the inner side of the outer edge of the low-speed ventilation section 10 onto the vertical plane is D1, and the diameter corresponding to the projection of the inner side of the outer edge of the grille structure onto the vertical plane is D2, where 0.58 ≤ D1 / D2 ≤ 0.88. This arrangement allows for a better balance between the low-speed ventilation section 10 and the high-speed ventilation section, thereby facilitating noise reduction and wind resistance.

[0075] It should be noted that "the inner side of the outer edge of the low-speed ventilation section 10" can be understood as the inner side of the annular rib at the outer edge of the low-speed ventilation section 10. "The inner side of the outer edge of the grille structure" can be understood as the inner side of the annular rib at the outer edge of the grille structure.

[0076] Specifically, the grille structure is positioned opposite to the fan blades, and multiple second radial ribs 22 are bent along a preset direction, with the rotation direction formed by the multiple second radial ribs 22 being the same as the rotation direction of the fan blades. This facilitates better noise reduction and wind resistance.

[0077] The projection of the second radial rib 22 onto the vertical plane of the grille structure forms a second radial feature line 220, which is a two-dimensional spiral. This facilitates better guidance of high-speed airflow and reduces exhaust noise.

[0078] like Figure 2 As shown, the projection of the first radial rib 12 onto the axial plane of the grille structure forms a first radial feature line 120. The first radial feature line 120 includes a first arc segment 121 and a second arc segment 122 connected together; wherein the first arc segment 121 and the second arc segment 122 have opposite bending directions. This is to better adapt to the turbulent airflow in the low-speed region.

[0079] The first arc segment 121 is located on the side of the second arc segment 122 away from the high-speed ventilation section 20. The bending direction of the first arc segment 121 is the same as the bending direction of the second radial feature line 220 formed by the projection of the second radial rib 22 onto the vertical plane of the grille structure. In this way, the sequentially arranged second radial rib 22, second arc segment 122 and first arc segment 121 can form a back-and-forth bending spiral, which can better adapt to the airflow direction at different positions, better guide the airflow, better facilitate air outlet, and reduce air outlet noise.

[0080] The first arc segment 121 and the second arc segment 122 are tangent at the connection point to facilitate a smooth transition and thus avoid the impact of abrupt structural changes on airflow.

[0081] In this embodiment, the low-speed ventilation section 10 further includes a third radial rib 13, which is disposed between two adjacent first radial ribs 12 and spaced apart from the two adjacent first radial ribs 12.

[0082] The third radial rib 13 has a shorter radial length than the first radial rib 12 in the grille structure. This reduces production costs and allows for better adaptation to airflow characteristics in low-speed zones. It also helps reduce drag, increase airflow area, lower material costs, and reduce noise. Specifically, the number of first radial ribs 12 can be between 10 and 20, and the number of third radial ribs 13 corresponds one-to-one with the number of first radial ribs 12.

[0083] The third radial rib 13 is located on the side of the low-speed ventilation section 10 near the high-speed ventilation section 20. This allows for effective guidance of the higher-speed airflow on the side of the low-speed ventilation section 10 near the high-speed ventilation section 20, adapting to the flow of the higher-speed airflow and reducing noise.

[0084] like Figure 3As shown, in this embodiment, the low-speed ventilation section 10 has a third radial feature line 14 in the cross-section along the axis of the grille structure, and the third radial feature line 14 is an arc-shaped connecting segment; the high-speed ventilation section 20 has a fourth radial feature line 23 in the cross-section along the axis of the grille structure, and the fourth radial feature line 23 is a straight connecting segment. Thus, the third radial feature line 14 facilitates a gradual transition of the low-speed ventilation section 10 to the high-speed ventilation section 20, thereby avoiding a sudden increase in airflow that could cause a large impact, and consequently reducing the noise caused by a large airflow impact.

[0085] Specifically, the length of the fourth radial feature line 23 can be (D2-D1) / 2, so as to better optimize the size of the fourth radial feature line 23, thereby facilitating better airflow guidance.

[0086] Furthermore, by setting the fourth radial feature line 23 as a straight connecting segment, it is easier to reduce the excessive axial dimension at the high-speed ventilation section 20, facilitating high-speed airflow, reducing high-speed airflow resistance, and thus reducing noise. The aforementioned straight connecting segment can be in a direction completely perpendicular to the axial direction or in a direction inclined at a predetermined angle to the axial direction, where the inclination can be a small angle (between 0° and 30°). Preferably, in this embodiment, the straight segment is completely perpendicular to the axial direction, thus enabling the high-speed ventilation section 20 to form a flat structure, facilitating high-speed airflow, reducing airflow resistance, and further reducing airflow noise.

[0087] Specifically, the arc connection segment includes a third arc segment 141 and a fourth arc segment 142 that are connected to each other.

[0088] The third arc segment 141 and the fourth arc segment 142 have opposite bending directions, which facilitates the effective guidance and direction of airflow through the third arc segment 141 and the fourth arc segment 142 for better air outlet.

[0089] The third arc segment 141 and the fourth arc segment 142 are tangent at the connection point, which facilitates a smooth transition between the third arc segment 141 and the fourth arc segment 142 at the connection point and avoids a situation where the change between the third arc segment 141 and the fourth arc segment 142 at the connection point is too large and affects the smooth flow of air.

[0090] In this embodiment, the maximum distance between two adjacent second radial ribs 22 is t1, 9mm≤t1≤10.5mm; and / or, the maximum distance between two adjacent first annular ribs 11 is t2, 9mm≤t2≤10.5mm. By reasonably setting the values ​​of t1 and t2, wind resistance and noise can be reduced as much as possible while ensuring that the grille meets the corresponding safety requirements.

[0091] In this embodiment, the projection of the second radial rib 22 on the axial vertical plane of the grid structure is a two-dimensional spiral; the curve of the two-dimensional spiral on the axial vertical plane should satisfy the following formula:

[0092] R = A + B * T, A = 0.5 * D1; B = 0.5 * (D2 - D1); β = ±(C + D * T), 0 ≤ T ≤ 1;

[0093] Where, R represents the law of radial distribution of the curve, β represents the law of circumferential distribution of the curve, A represents the starting position of the spiral in the R direction, B represents the radius increment of the starting point of the spiral in the R direction, C represents the initial phase of the spiral in the β direction, D represents the increment of the spiral in the β direction, D1 is the diameter corresponding to the projection of the inner side of the outer edge of the low-speed ventilation part 10 on the axial vertical plane, and D2 is the diameter corresponding to the projection of the inner side of the outer edge of the grid structure on the axial vertical plane. With such a setting, it is convenient to better optimize the shape of the second radial rib 22, so as to better guide through the second radial rib 22 and better reduce noise.

[0094] Specifically, C in this embodiment can be set to 90°. Considering that the array of radial rib bars is completely axially symmetric about the axis, the initial phase is not important. The value range of D is actually restricted by the value of t1. The larger D is, the longer the outer-layer radial rib bars (corresponding to the second radial rib) are, and the greater the wind resistance is; when D is smaller, it is closer to the length of the radial straight line passing through the center of the circle (the straight line pointing from D1 to D2). Among them, the value range of D can be [0.01 * 360, 0.15 * 360].

[0095] Specifically, the projection of the first radial rib 12 on the axial vertical plane of the grid structure forms a first radial feature line 120, and the central angle corresponding to both ends of the first radial feature line 120 is α, 5° ≤ α ≤ 50°; and / or, the projection of the second radial rib 22 on the axial vertical plane of the grid structure forms a second radial feature line 220, and the central angle corresponding to both ends of the second radial feature line 220 is γ, 5° ≤ γ ≤ 25°. By setting within a reasonable parameter range, the outer-layer high-speed rotating air flow can be combed through the high-density radial rib bars, making it more conform to the air outlet angle, and at the same time further enhancing the strength of the outer-layer grid structure. Furthermore, the number of annular rib bars that do not match the air flow direction can be reduced, effectively reducing the wind resistance and suppressing the noise radiation level.

[0096] The grid structure further includes an outer frame 30 and an inner cover 40. The outer frame 30 is arranged around the outer periphery of the high-speed ventilation part 20, and the width of the outer frame 30 in the axial direction of the grid structure is T1; the low-speed ventilation part 10 is arranged around the outer periphery of the inner cover 40, and the width of the inner cover 40 in the axial direction of the grid structure is T2, and T2 < T1. And the preferred range of T2 / T1 is [0.3, 0.5].

[0097] Such as Figure 9As shown, the radial section of the first radial rib 12 and / or the radial surface of the second radial rib 22 are streamlined sections. The streamlined section has an arc edge 51 facing the windward side and ribs 52 located on both sides of the arc edge 51. The radius of the arc edge 51 is r, and the length of the rib 52 is l.

[0098] Where r = a + b * t, 0.5 mm ≤ a ≤ 1 mm, 0.2 mm ≤ b ≤ 1 mm, 0 ≤ t ≤ 1; and / or,

[0099] l=c+d*t,4mm≤c≤7mm,2mm≤d≤5mm,0≤t≤1.

[0100] By setting appropriate parameter ranges and variation patterns for the radial ribs (here, radial ribs refer to the first radial rib 12 or the second radial rib 22), the actual airflow direction at the fan outlet can be closely matched, effectively controlling impact loss, reducing wind resistance, increasing airflow, and reducing noise.

[0101] Along the streamlined cross-section from one end near the grid structure to the other end away from the grid structure, the width of the streamlined cross-section gradually increases to accommodate airflow and facilitate airflow guidance.

[0102] Specifically, the second radial rib 22 has a first radial cross-section (corresponding to a streamlined cross-section) at the end near the first radial rib 12, and a second radial cross-section (corresponding to a streamlined cross-section) at the end away from the first radial rib 12; the first radial cross-section has a first arc edge facing the windward side and first rib edges located on both sides of the first arc edge, the radius of the first arc edge being r1, and the length of the first rib edge being l1; the second radial cross-section has a second arc edge facing the windward side and second rib edges located on both sides of the second arc edge, the radius of the second arc edge being r2. The length of the second rib is l2; the first radial rib 12 has a third radial section at the end away from the second radial rib 22, and a fourth radial section at the end near the second radial rib 22; the third radial section has a third arc edge facing the windward side and third ribs located on both sides of the third arc edge, the radius of the third arc edge is r3, and the length of the third rib is l3; the fourth radial section has a fourth arc edge facing the windward side and fourth ribs located on both sides of the fourth arc edge, the radius of the fourth arc edge is r4, and the length of the fourth rib is l4.

[0103] Where r2>r1; and / or l2>l1; and / or r4>r3; and / or l4>l3.

[0104] By adopting this size setting and setting appropriate parameter ranges and variation patterns for the first radial rib 12 and the second radial rib 22, the actual airflow direction at the fan outlet can be closely matched, effectively controlling impact loss, reducing wind resistance, increasing air volume, and reducing noise.

[0105] like Figure 9 As shown, the angle between the radial rib and the vertical plane of the grid structure is the installation angle θ. Specifically, θ can be understood as the angle between the axis of symmetry of the radial rib (the two sides of the radial rib are symmetrical with respect to the axis of symmetry of the radial rib) and the vertical plane.

[0106] Specifically, when the radial rib is the second radial rib 22, the angle between the corresponding second radial rib 22 and the vertical plane of the grid structure is the first installation angle θ1; when the radial rib is the first radial rib 12, the angle between the first radial rib 12 and the vertical plane of the grid structure is the second installation angle θ2.

[0107] Specifically, the second radial rib 22 (corresponding to the outer grille) has a first installation angle θ1 between itself and the vertical plane of the grille structure, where 65°≤θ1≤85°. By setting appropriate radial rib parameter ranges and their variation patterns, the actual airflow direction at the fan outlet can be closely matched, effectively controlling impact loss, reducing wind resistance, increasing airflow, and simultaneously reducing noise. Specifically, the distribution pattern of the first installation angle is as follows: Figure 10 As shown.

[0108] Specifically, the first radial rib 12 (corresponding to the inner grille) has a second installation angle θ2 between it and the vertical plane of the grille structure, where 40°≤θ2≤80°. By setting appropriate radial rib parameter ranges and their variation patterns, the actual airflow direction at the fan outlet can be closely matched, effectively controlling impact loss, reducing wind resistance, increasing airflow, and simultaneously reducing noise. Specifically, the distribution pattern of the first installation angle is as follows: Figure 11 As shown. The test results of the grid structure provided in this embodiment are as follows. Figure 12 and 13 As shown.

[0109] According to another aspect of the present invention, an outdoor unit for an air conditioner is provided, which includes an outdoor unit housing and a grille structure provided in the above embodiments. An air outlet is provided on the outdoor unit housing, and the grille structure is installed at the air outlet.

[0110] As can be seen from the above description, the embodiments of this utility model achieve the following technical effects: They reduce the airflow attenuation induced by the air outlet grille of the air conditioner outdoor unit and suppress its high noise radiation level. Through the independent design of the inner and outer double-layer grilles, the axial distribution pattern of the grilles, and the variable sweeping cross-section design of the radial ribs, under the required airflow conditions, with and without the grille: airflow at the same rotation speed is reduced by 3.32%, and noise is increased by approximately 2.2 dB. This effectively improves the grille noise performance of existing air conditioner outdoor units.

[0111] It should be noted that the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the exemplary embodiments according to this application. As used herein, the singular form is intended to include the plural form as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. Furthermore, it should be understood that when the terms "comprising" and / or "including" are used in this specification, they indicate the presence of features, steps, operations, devices, components, and / or combinations thereof.

[0112] Unless otherwise specifically stated, the relative arrangement, numerical expressions, and values ​​of the components and steps described in these embodiments do not limit the scope of this application. It should also be understood that, for ease of description, the dimensions of the various parts shown in the drawings are not drawn to actual scale. Techniques, methods, and devices known to those skilled in the art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, such techniques, methods, and devices should be considered part of the specification. In all examples shown and discussed herein, any specific values ​​should be interpreted as merely exemplary and not as limitations. Therefore, other examples of exemplary embodiments may have different values. It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters in the following drawings denote similar items; therefore, once an item is defined in one drawing, it need not be further discussed in subsequent drawings.

[0113] In the description of this application, it should be understood that the orientation or positional relationship indicated by directional terms such as "front, back, up, down, left, right", "horizontal, vertical, horizontal" and "top, bottom" is usually based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and is only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description. Unless otherwise stated, these directional terms do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation on the scope of protection of this application; the directional terms "inner" and "outer" refer to the inner and outer contours relative to the outline of each component itself.

[0114] For ease of description, spatial relative terms such as "above," "on top of," "on the upper surface of," "above," etc., are used herein to describe the spatial positional relationship of a device or feature as shown in the figures to other devices or features. It should be understood that spatial relative terms are intended to encompass different orientations in use or operation beyond the orientation of the device as described in the figures. For example, if the device in the figures were inverted, a device described as "above" or "on top of" other devices or structures would subsequently be positioned as "below" or "under" other devices or structures. Thus, the exemplary term "above" can include both "above" and "below." The device may also be positioned in other different ways (rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations), and the spatial relative descriptions used herein will be interpreted accordingly.

[0115] Furthermore, it should be noted that the use of terms such as "first" and "second" to define components is merely for the purpose of distinguishing the corresponding components. Unless otherwise stated, the above terms have no special meaning and therefore cannot be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this application.

[0116] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
