[0043] The embodiments of the present application are described in detail below, examples of which are shown in the drawings, wherein the same or similar reference signs represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below by referring to the drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present application, and cannot be understood as a limitation of the present application.

[0044] The following description is made with reference to the drawings, which show: Figures 1-11 The air outlet frame assembly 14a according to the embodiments of the present application is described below.

[0045] Reference is made to Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 7 and Figure 8According to the air outlet frame assembly 14a of the first aspect of the present application, the front side of the air outlet frame 14 is formed with a concave cavity 141 which is open towards the front, the bottom wall of the concave cavity 141 is a concave cavity bottom wall 142, the front panel 143 is arranged on the front side of the concave cavity 141 to cover the concave cavity 141, the lower end of the front panel 143 is located above the concave cavity bottom wall 142, and the decorative piece 144 is connected to the air outlet frame 14 to shield the gap between the lower end of the front panel 143 and the concave cavity bottom wall 142, and the decorative piece 144 is a separate molded part. There is a certain gap between the lower end of the front panel 143 and the concave cavity bottom wall 142, which can avoid interference between the front panel 143 and the air outlet frame 14, and can make the assembly of the front panel 143 on the air outlet frame 14 more convenient.

[0046] By connecting the decorative piece 144 to the air outlet frame 14, the gap between the lower end of the front panel 143 and the concave cavity bottom wall 142 can be effectively shielded, the possibility of dust and other impurities entering the interior of the concave cavity 141 through the gap between the lower end of the front panel 143 and the concave cavity bottom wall 142 can be reduced, and the gap can be directly exposed to the outside, which can effectively shield the structure inside the concave cavity 141 and improve the overall appearance of the air outlet frame 14.

[0047] In addition, the decorative piece 144 is a separate molded part, so that the decorative piece 144 and the air outlet frame 14 can be manufactured independently, which can make the mold manufacturing process simpler and effectively reduce the manufacturing difficulty of the air outlet frame 14.

[0048] For example, when the decorative piece 144 and the air outlet frame 14 are transported, the decorative piece 144 and the air outlet frame 14 can be separated by the decorative piece 144 being a separate molded part, so that the decorative piece 144 and the air outlet frame 14 can be transported separately. Compared with transporting the decorative piece 144 and the air outlet frame 14 as a whole, the volume during transportation can be reduced, and the transportation of the decorative piece 144 and the air outlet frame 14 is more convenient.

[0049] For another example, when gold stamping or electroplating process treatment is needed on the decorative piece 144 and the air outlet frame 14, the decorative piece 144 and the air outlet frame 14 can be separately subjected to gold stamping or electroplating process operation by the decorative piece 144 being a separate molded part, which makes the processing technology of the decorative piece 144 and the air outlet frame 14 more convenient, and can realize diversified combination manufacturing of various processes. For example, the decorative piece 144 can be subjected to relatively fine and complex gold stamping process treatment to improve its decorative effect, and the air outlet frame 14 can be subjected to targeted electroplating process treatment according to its functional requirements and material characteristics to enhance its durability and protection performance, thereby meeting different process requirements.

The bottom wall 142 of the cavity can support and fix the decoration piece 144. The detachable connection of the decoration piece 144 to the bottom wall 142 of the cavity can effectively shield the gap between the lower end of the front panel 143 and the bottom wall 142 of the cavity, and facilitate the maintenance or replacement of the decoration piece 144. For example, when the surface of the decoration piece 144 is worn, stained or partially damaged, it can be detached from the bottom wall 142 of the cavity for repair or cleaning. When it is necessary to replace the decoration piece 144 of different styles, materials or functions to meet the diversified needs, the decoration piece 144 can be detached from the bottom wall 142 of the cavity for replacement, without the need to disassemble the entire air outlet frame assembly 14a.
