Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air conditioning equipment, and in particular to an air outlet panel for ducted air conditioners. Background Technology

[0002] Ductless air conditioners are a common type of household air conditioning system. Unlike split-type air conditioners (wall-mounted and floor-standing units), where the indoor unit usually occupies some indoor space, the indoor unit of a ductless air conditioner is typically hidden in the ceiling, with only the air vents exposed for ventilation and heat exchange. This is related to the user's personal installation preferences. Ductless air conditioners are more minimalist. In short, the basic working principle of ductless air conditioners is not much different from that of split-type air conditioners; both use an outdoor unit to drive an indoor unit. The only difference is whether the indoor unit is placed separately in the room or integrated into the ceiling.

[0003] One current issue is that in the residential air conditioning market, split-type air conditioners offer a wide variety of airflow patterns due to the ability to install various sizes of air deflectors, both vertical and horizontal, perforated, and with various functional modules. However, ducted air conditioners, due to their minimalist design, typically have very simplified air deflector arrangements, basically just flat blades, making it impossible to achieve diverse airflow modes and resulting in a less enjoyable user experience compared to split-type air conditioners. Utility Model Content

[0004] To overcome the shortcomings of existing ducted air conditioners, such as their single air outlet mode, the technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide an air outlet panel for ducted air conditioners that can realize airflow direction adjustment.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is:

[0006] The air outlet panel for a ducted air conditioner includes a housing panel and a swivel blade disposed within the air outlet of the housing panel. A support frame is provided on the inner side of the housing panel directly opposite the air outlet. The swivel blade includes a horizontal swivel blade and a vertical swivel blade. The horizontal swivel blade is horizontally rotatable within the air outlet of the housing panel, and the vertical swivel blade is vertically rotatable within the support frame. A drive mechanism is provided on the inner side of the housing panel at one end of the support frame. The drive mechanism includes a first motor for driving the horizontal swivel blade to rotate and a second motor for driving the vertical swivel blade to rotate. A docking frame is provided on the side of the support frame away from the housing panel, which is opposite to the air outlet of the ducted air conditioner. An assembly block is provided on the outer side of the docking frame for sliding fitting assembly with an assembly port corresponding to the pre-installed air outlet of the ducted air conditioner.

[0007] Furthermore, the two sides of the housing panel are provided with a first step and a second step extending toward the center of the air outlet from the outside to the inside. The horizontal oscillating blades are arranged in the cavities corresponding to the side walls of the two first steps, and the first motor is arranged inside the end face of the first step. The vertical oscillating blades are arranged in the cavities corresponding to the side walls of the two second steps, and the second motor is arranged inside the end face of the second step.

[0008] Furthermore, the inner side of the housing panel is provided with a first assembly box and a second assembly box corresponding to the first motor and the second motor, respectively, and the first assembly box and the second assembly box cover the first motor and the second motor.

[0009] Furthermore, the first assembly box is equipped with an infrared module, the second assembly box is equipped with an electronic control component, and the inner side of the housing panel opposite to the first assembly box is equipped with a third assembly box. The third assembly box is equipped with a negative ion generating module, and the inner wall of the air outlet is equipped with a negative ion output terminal connected to the negative ion generating module. The driving mechanism, the infrared module, and the negative ion generating module are all electrically connected to the electronic control component.

[0010] Furthermore, the transverse oscillating blades include at least two blades, which are rotatably connected to the side wall of the first step via rotating shafts at the middle of their respective ends. The number of the first motors corresponds to the number of transverse oscillating blades, and the output shaft of the first motor is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft at one end of the transverse oscillating blade.

[0011] Furthermore, the vertical swing blades include multiple blades, which are vertically arranged side by side within the support frame. The upper and lower ends of the vertical swing blades are rotatably connected to the support frame. All vertical swing blades are rotatably mounted on a transmission rod on the same side. One end of the transmission rod is connected to the output shaft of the second motor via a reciprocating motion mechanism.

[0012] Furthermore, the vertical oscillating blade is a perforated plate structure.

[0013] Furthermore, each end of the support frame is provided with a flexible wind plate, which is also a perforated plate structure.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: by adding a ring of support frame to the inside of the traditional thin shell panel, and setting horizontal and vertical swing blades with mutually perpendicular rotating shafts on the shell panel and support frame respectively, and using an independent motor to control the swing of the horizontal and vertical swing blades, the horizontal and vertical air direction can be adjusted, thereby enriching the air outlet form of the duct air conditioner and improving the user experience. At the same time, by using the docking frame and assembly block to slide and fit with the reserved assembly port of the duct air conditioner, the air outlet panel can be quickly assembled and stably snapped together.

Detailed Implementation

[0020] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0021] It should be noted that if this utility model contains directional indicators such as up, down, left, right, front, and back, these are used to describe the relative positional relationships between components and are not specific references to the absolute positions of related components or the positional relationships between components. They are only used to explain the relative positional relationships and movement of components in a specific posture. If the specific posture changes, the directional indicator will also change accordingly. If this utility model contains terms related to quantity such as "many," "multiple," or "several," these specifically refer to two or more.

[0022] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the present invention provides an air outlet panel for a ducted air conditioner, comprising a housing panel 1 and a swivel blade disposed within an air outlet 11 of the housing panel 1. A support frame 2 is provided on the inner side of the housing panel 1 opposite to the air outlet 11. The swivel blade includes a horizontal swivel blade 3 and a vertical swivel blade 4. The horizontal swivel blade 3 is horizontally rotatably disposed within the air outlet 11 of the housing panel 1, and the vertical swivel blade 4 is vertically rotatably disposed within the support frame 2. A driving mechanism is provided on the inner side of the housing panel 1 at one end of the support frame 2. The driving mechanism includes a first motor 5 for driving the horizontal swivel blade 3 to rotate and a second motor 6 for driving the vertical swivel blade 4 to rotate. A docking frame 21 is provided on the side of the support frame 2 away from the housing panel 1, which is opposite to the air outlet of the ducted air conditioner. An assembly block 22 is provided on the outer side of the docking frame 21 for sliding fitting assembly with an assembly port corresponding to the pre-installed air outlet of the ducted air conditioner.

[0023] Traditional ducted air conditioner outlet panels are mostly strip-shaped grid structures, and most are fixed, resulting in a relatively limited airflow method. This invention addresses this by installing a support frame 2 on the inner side of the housing panel 1, and mounting horizontal sway blades 3 and vertical sway blades 4 with perpendicular rotating shafts on both the housing panel 1 and the support frame 2. An independent motor controls the swaying of the horizontal and vertical sway blades 3 and 4, enabling horizontal and vertical airflow adjustment, thus enriching the airflow options of the ducted air conditioner and improving the user experience. Furthermore, to facilitate the installation of the entire outlet panel, this invention also includes a docking frame 21 and an assembly block 22. During assembly, the docking frame 21 aligns with the air outlet of the ducted air conditioner, and the assembly block slides and fits into the pre-reserved assembly opening of the ducted air conditioner, forming a drawer-like snap-fit ​​connection. This allows for quick and stable assembly of the outlet panel, improving assembly convenience. Specifically, during manufacturing, the support frame 2 can be integrally formed with the housing panel 1, and the docking frame 21 and assembly block 22 can be mounted on the support frame 2 with screws. The docking frame 21 and the assembly block 22 can be made of a material with a certain degree of elasticity, such as rubber or plastic.

[0024] To avoid interference between the horizontal oscillating blades 3 and the vertical oscillating blades 4, and to improve assembly convenience, a first step 12 and a second step 13 extending towards the center of the air outlet 11 are sequentially provided on both sides of the housing panel 1 from the outside to the inside. The horizontal oscillating blades 3 are disposed in the cavities corresponding to the side walls of the two first steps 12, and the first motor 5 is disposed inside the end face of the first step 12. The vertical oscillating blades 4 are disposed in the cavities corresponding to the side walls of the two second steps 13, and the second motor 6 is disposed inside the end face of the second step 13. The side walls of the first step 12 refer to the surfaces perpendicular to the surface of the housing panel 1, and the end faces of the first step 12 refer to the surfaces parallel to the surface of the housing panel 1. The structure of the second step 13 is the same as that of the first step 12. The staggered structure formed by the first steps 12 and the second steps 13 facilitates the positioning and installation of the first motor 5 and the second motor 6.

[0025] To protect the first motor 5, the second motor 6, and their internal circuitry, a first assembly box 14 and a second assembly box 15 are respectively provided on the inner side of the housing panel 1 at locations corresponding to the first motor 5 and the second motor 6. The first assembly box 14 and the second assembly box 15 conceal the first motor 5 and the second motor 6 within them. The first assembly box 14 and the second assembly box 15 can be installed inside the housing panel 1 using screws.

[0026] Furthermore, the first assembly box 14 also contains an infrared module 7, the second assembly box 15 contains an electronic control component 8, and the inner side of the housing panel 1 opposite to the first assembly box 14 also contains a third assembly box 16, which contains a negative ion generating module. The inner wall of the air outlet 11 has a negative ion output terminal 9 connected to the negative ion generating module. The drive mechanism, infrared module 7, and negative ion generating module are all electrically connected to the electronic control component 8. The infrared module 7 is used to remotely control the operation of the electronic control component 8, thereby switching between different air outlet modes. Its principle and control process are the same as those of existing split-type air conditioners. The negative ion generating module can generate negative ions at the negative ion output terminal 9 to sterilize the air outlet and improve air quality.

[0027] Specifically, regarding the assembly structure of the blades, such as Figure 1 , Figure 4 As shown, the transverse oscillating blades 3 include at least two blades, each rotatably connected to the side wall of the first step 12 via a pivot at the center of its respective ends. The number of first motors 5 corresponds to the number of transverse oscillating blades 3, and the output shaft of each first motor 5 is fixedly connected to a pivot at one end of each transverse oscillating blade 3. Considering the small longitudinal dimension of the duct air outlet, only two transverse oscillating blades 3 are needed. Multiple first motors 5 can be independently controlled, thereby achieving adjustment of various up and down airflow modes. Figure 2-4 As shown, the vertical oscillating blades 4 comprise multiple blades, arranged vertically side-by-side within the support frame 2. The upper and lower ends of each blade are rotatably connected to the support frame 2. All blades 4 are rotatably mounted on a transmission rod 41 on the same side. One end of the transmission rod 41 is connected to the output shaft of the second motor 6 via a reciprocating mechanism. The reciprocating mechanism can be implemented using an eccentric wheel, converting the rotation of the second motor 6's output shaft into the up-and-down and back-and-forth oscillation of the transmission rod 41, thus achieving synchronous left-and-right oscillation of all vertical oscillating blades 4.

[0028] Furthermore, to enhance the gentle breeze effect, the vertical oscillating blades 4 can be configured as perforated plate structures. Additionally, to increase the gentle breeze area, a gentle breeze plate 23 is provided on the inner side of each end of the support frame 2; the gentle breeze plate 23 is also a perforated plate structure.

[0029] This utility model adds a support frame 2 to the inside of the traditional thin shell panel 1, and sets horizontal swing blades 3 and vertical swing blades 4 with mutually perpendicular rotating shafts on the shell panel 1 and the support frame 2 respectively. It uses an independent motor to control the swing of the horizontal swing blades 3 and vertical swing blades 4 to realize the horizontal and vertical adjustment of the air direction, thereby enriching the air outlet form of the duct air conditioner and improving the user experience. At the same time, the docking frame 21 and the assembly block 22 are used to slide and fit with the reserved assembly port of the duct air conditioner, which can realize the quick assembly and stable snap-fit ​​of the air outlet panel, and has good practicality and application value.
