[0035] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which the utility model belongs. The terms used in the specification of the utility model herein are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the utility model.

[0036] Referring to Figure 2 The utility model provides a kind of air outlet structure, including middle frame 1, middle frame 1 is equipped with air outlet part, air outlet part includes air outlet surface 11, first air outlet 12 and second air outlet 13, first air outlet 12 and second air outlet 13 are adjacent and are arranged in the lower part of air outlet surface 11.

[0037] The top of middle frame 1 is equipped with air inlet, air outlet part is arranged in the front of middle frame 1, and airflow is blown out via air outlet part after being refrigerated or heated in middle frame 1.Air outlet surface 11 is arranged in the front end surface of middle frame 1, first air outlet 12 is opened in the lower part of air outlet surface 11 and the opening is towards the front of middle frame 1, second air outlet 13 is opened in the bottom of air outlet surface 11 and the opening is towards the lower of middle frame 1, and first air outlet 12 and second air outlet 13 are vertically communicated.

[0038] Air outlet part is equipped with air guide assembly 2, and air guide assembly 2 includes first air guide plate 21 and second air guide plate 22, which extend in the same direction along the rotation axis, first air guide plate 21 is rotatably installed in first air outlet 12, and second air guide plate 22 is rotatably installed in second air outlet 13.

[0039] On the basis that first air outlet 12 and second air outlet 13 are vertically communicated, first air guide plate 21 and second air guide plate 22 are vertically arranged, and the rotation axes of the two are parallel or coincident, and the bottom surface of first air guide plate 21 is attached to the top surface of second air guide plate 22 in the initial state. In this way, first air guide plate 21 and second air guide plate 22 can close the air outlet part in the initial state, first air guide plate 21 can be rotated to close or open first air outlet 12, and second air guide plate 22 can be rotated to close or open second air outlet 13.

[0040] The air outlet is also provided with a panel 3, which is located on the air outlet surface 11. In the initial state, the panel 3 and the projection of the first air guide plate 21 on the air outlet surface 11 coincide. The panel 3 can be moved away from the air outlet surface 11 to open the first air outlet 32 ​​and is spaced apart from the air outlet surface 11.

[0041] Panel 3 is located on the front side of the air outlet surface 11, and the lower part of panel 3 blocks the upper part of the first air guide plate 21, so that the first air outlet 12 can be opened or closed together by panel 3 and the first air guide plate 21. Panel 3 can move forward and upward relative to the air outlet surface 11, so that while the first air outlet 12 is opened, panel 3 and air outlet surface 11 are spaced apart, and there is a gap between the periphery of panel 3 and the middle frame 1, so that airflow can flow between panel 3 and air outlet surface 11 and be discharged through the periphery of panel 3.

[0042] Thus, the first air guide plate 21 is rotatably mounted on the first air outlet 12, the second air guide plate 22 is rotatably mounted on the second air outlet 13, and the panel 3 can move away from the air outlet surface 11. In this way, the movement of the panel 3 and the rotation of the first air guide plate 21 and the second air guide plate 22 can realize various air outlet modes with different directions and angles, such as four-sided air outlet, horizontal air outlet, inclined air outlet, and vertical air outlet, thereby meeting the user's needs for diverse air outlets.

[0043] This air outlet structure is applied to an air conditioner, that is, this utility model provides an air conditioner, such as... Figure 1 As shown, it includes the aforementioned air outlet structure, thereby enabling multiple air supply modes such as four-way air outlet mode, inclined air outlet mode, and vertical air outlet mode. Details are as follows:

[0044] See Figure 6 The first air guide plate 21 is vertically positioned to close the first air outlet 12, and the second air guide plate 22 is horizontally positioned to close the second air outlet 13. The panel 3 is located on the front side of the air outlet surface 11, and the panel 3 and the first air guide plate 21 overlap in the orthographic projection of the air outlet surface 11. At this time, the air conditioner is in the off state.

[0045] See Figure 7 Compared to Figure 6 The second air guide plate 22 remains horizontal to close the second air outlet 13, while the first air guide plate 21 rotates 90° clockwise to a horizontal position to partially open the first air outlet 12. The panel 3 is driven forward and upward to create a gap between the periphery of the panel 3 and the middle frame 1, and the panel 3 is spaced apart from the air outlet surface 11, fully opening the first air outlet 12. At this time, the first air guide plate 21 divides the first air outlet 12 into upper and lower parts to split the horizontal airflow, and a portion of the airflow flows upward, left, and right along the space between the panel 3 and the air outlet surface 11, thus achieving four-way airflow. At this time, the air conditioner is in a four-way airflow state, resulting in more uniform airflow and facilitating faster and more even changes in indoor temperature.

[0046] Referring to Figure 8 , compared with Figure 6 , the panel 3 is in place and partially blocks the first air outlet 12, the first air deflector 21 rotates clockwise by less than 90°, and the second air deflector 22 rotates counterclockwise by less than 90°, the rotation angles of the two can be different but need to be paid attention to avoid collision, or the rotation angles of the two are the same to make the first air deflector 21 and the second air deflector 22 spaced and parallel to be inclined downward, thereby realizing the inclined outflow of the split flow. At this time, the air conditioner is in an inclined outflow state, and the outflow is double-guided by the first air deflector 21 and the second air deflector 22, which is beneficial to improve the diffusivity of the outflow, thereby accelerating the temperature change.

[0047] Referring to Figure 9 , compared with Figure 6 , the panel 3 is in place and partially blocks the first air outlet 12, the first air deflector 21 rotates clockwise by 180°, and the second air deflector 22 rotates clockwise by 90°, the first air deflector 21 and the second air deflector 22 are vertically arranged in parallel, thereby realizing the downward outflow of the split flow. At this time, the air conditioner is in a vertical outflow state, and the outflow is double-split by the first air deflector 21 and the second air deflector 22, which is beneficial to improve the diffusivity of the outflow, thereby accelerating the temperature change.

[0048] Among them, the first air deflector 21 and the second air deflector 22 rotate relatively or synchronously, and the first air deflector 21 and the second air deflector 22 are driven by two motors 5 respectively. When the first air deflector 21 and the second air deflector 22 rotate relatively, four-way outflow, inclined outflow and vertical outflow can be realized. For the inclined outflow state, the first air deflector 21 and the second air deflector 22 can be simultaneously and synchronously rotated to make the first air deflector 21 and the second air deflector 22 parallel to ensure the uniformity of the outflow.

[0049] Referring to Figure 3 , the panel 3 is driven by the driving transmission assembly 4 to move away from the air outlet surface 11, and the driving transmission assembly 4 is arranged on the air outlet surface 11 and is in transmission connection with the panel 3. The driving transmission assembly 4 drives the panel 3 to move forward and upward or reset to realize four-way outflow or closing.

[0050] The driving transmission assembly 4 includes a driving motor 41, a crank 42 and a connecting rod 43, the crank 42 is connected with the output shaft 411 of the driving motor 41, the connecting rod 43 is vertically arranged on the side of the crank 42 away from the driving motor 41, the connecting rod 43 is rotationally connected with the crank 42, and the connecting rod 43 is fixedly connected with the panel 3, so that the connecting rod 43 in the vertical state is driven to move when the crank 42 is driven to rotate by the driving motor 41, and the panel 3 is driven to move.

[0051] The driving motor 41 is started to drive the crank 42 to rotate through the output shaft 411, so as to drive the connecting rod 43 to move or reset forward and upward on the basis of keeping vertical state, thereby driving the panel 3 to move or reset forward and upward on the basis of keeping vertical state, so as to realize four-side air outlet or closing.

[0052] The driving motor 41 is fixedly installed on the mounting frame 44, the mounting frame 44 is installed on the air outlet surface 11, and the crank 42 is rotatably installed on the mounting frame 44. The mounting frame 44 is fixedly installed on the air outlet surface 11 by screws or the like, the driving motor 41 and the crank 42 are installed on the mounting frame 44, and the crank 42 can be driven to rotate on the mounting frame 44, so as to drive the connecting rod 43 to move or reset upward and forward.

[0053] Referring to Figure 5 , the mounting frame 44 extends towards the crank 42, and the crank 42 extends towards the connecting rod 43, both of which extend with the connecting shaft 46, the crank 42 is rotatably sleeved on the connecting shaft 46 of the mounting frame 44, the connecting rod 43 is sleeved on the connecting shaft 46 of the crank 42, and the connecting rod 43 is rotatably connected with the connecting shaft 46 of the crank 42. In this way, the rotation of the crank 42 relative to the mounting frame 44 is realized through the corresponding connecting shaft 46, and the rotation connection between the crank 42 and the connecting rod 43 is realized through the corresponding connecting shaft 46.

[0054] It is worth noting that the connecting shaft 46 is arranged to ensure smooth relative rotation and avoid falling off to ensure the reliability of the connection. At the same time, the connecting shaft 46 should avoid the corresponding crank 42 or connecting rod 43 to avoid affecting the rotation effect.

[0055] On this basis, the crank 42 comprises a toothed crank 421 and an auxiliary crank 422 which are vertically spaced and synchronously rotated, both of which are rotatably connected with the connecting rod 43, the toothed crank 421 is meshingly connected with the gear 45, and the gear 45 is connected with the output shaft 411 of the driving motor 41. The driving motor 41 is started to drive the gear 45 to rotate through the output shaft 411, thereby driving the toothed crank 421 to rotate through the meshing connection relationship, and the auxiliary crank 422 synchronously rotates with the toothed crank 421, so as to drive the connecting rod 43 to stably keep vertical state and move or reset forward and upward.

[0056] The up-and-down corresponding arrangement of the toothed crank 421 and the auxiliary crank 422 is conducive to improving the stability of the movement of the connecting rod 43, avoiding shaking during the movement, and thereby stably driving the panel 3 to move.

[0057] Referring to Figure 4 and Figure 5 , the panel 3 is detachably connected with the connecting rod 43 through the plug-in structure and / or the buckle structure. The detachable connection structure can ensure the reliability of the connection between the panel 3 and the connecting rod 43, and is convenient to replace.

[0058] For example, the panel 3 is provided with a hook 31 towards the connecting rod 43, the connecting rod 43 is provided with a matched clamping piece 431 corresponding to the hook 31, and the hook 31 and the clamping piece 431 are detachably connected through a buckling connection structure.

[0059] And / or, the panel 3 is provided with a plug 32 towards the connecting rod 43, the connecting rod 43 is provided with a matched socket 432 corresponding to the plug 32, and the plug 32 and the socket 432 are detachably connected through a plug-in connection structure.

[0060] The above is only an example, and any detachable connection that can be reliably connected can be used in actual application.

[0061] The technical means disclosed in the utility model scheme is not only limited to the technical means disclosed in the above-mentioned embodiment, but also includes the technical scheme composed of any combination of the above technical features. It should be pointed out that for ordinary skilled persons in the art, without departing from the principle of the utility model, some improvements and refinements can be made, and these improvements and refinements are also considered as the protection scope of the utility model.
