[0038] Please see Figures 1 to 6 This application provides an air outlet structure 100 for use in an air conditioner 1000. The air outlet structure 100 includes at least one air guide ring 10 and a support 20. The air guide ring 10 includes a body portion 11 and a flange portion 12. The flange portion 12 is disposed on the peripheral edge of the body portion 11 and is connected to the support 20. Alternatively, the flange portion 12 is connected to the support 20 and also to another flange portion 12 of an adjacent air guide ring 10.

[0039] Thus, by setting a flange 12 on the edge of the air guide ring 10, the bracket 20 of the air conditioner 1000 can be directly connected to the flange 12. When fixing the air guide ring 10, there is no need to set a top bracket or other connecting parts, thereby reducing the number of structural parts and improving assembly efficiency.

[0040] Air conditioner 1000 is a device used to regulate the temperature, humidity, airflow speed, and cleanliness of indoor (or enclosed space / area) air. It can absorb and release heat through the circulation of refrigerant, thereby achieving temperature regulation of the indoor environment. Air conditioner 1000 includes integrated and split types. The integrated air conditioner 1000 can integrate the condenser 300, evaporator, compressor, expansion valve, piping, and all other system components that make up the air conditioning system into a single integrated casing.

[0041] The split air conditioner 1000 is composed of two parts, indoor unit and outdoor unit. The indoor unit is usually installed indoors, responsible for adjusting indoor temperature, humidity, etc. The outdoor unit is installed outdoors, mainly including compressor, condenser 300, outdoor fan 200, etc. The outdoor unit and the indoor unit are connected by pipes and wires to form a complete air conditioning system.

[0042] Specifically, the air conditioner 1000 includes at least one outdoor fan 200 and an air outlet structure 100. In the refrigeration cycle of the air conditioner 1000, the outdoor fan 200 can promote heat exchange between air and the condenser 300 by accelerating air flow, so that the condenser 300 can effectively release heat to the outdoor air. The air outlet structure 100 can provide a window for the outdoor fan 200 and the external environment to exchange heat, and also provide a support for the outdoor fan 200 to be installed and fixed, so that air can enter the outdoor fan 200 to take away the heat generated by the condenser 300, which can improve the refrigeration / heating efficiency of the air conditioner 1000. For example, by precisely controlling the opening degree and direction of the air outlet of the air outlet structure 100, the waste of cold / hot air can be reduced, and the air conditioner 1000 can be more energy-efficient.

[0043] The air outlet structure 100 includes at least one air guide ring 10 and a bracket 20. The air guide ring 10 can be used to guide the air flow generated by the outdoor fan 200 to flow in a predetermined direction in the external environment. The air guide ring 10 also plays a role in enhancing heat dissipation. By optimizing the path and speed of air flow, the air guide ring 10 can help the outdoor fan 200 dissipate heat more effectively. The design of the air guide ring 10 can also reduce the noise of the air conditioner 1000 during operation. By guiding the air flow to pass through the air outlet hole 151 in a smoother way, the generation of vortex and turbulence can be reduced, thereby reducing the noise level.

[0044] The air guide ring 10 is provided with an air outlet hole 151, which can be used to make the air of the external environment enter from the air outlet, and then the outdoor fan 200 blows out the air flow with heat from the air outlet hole 151. The outdoor fan 200 can be arranged on the side of the air guide ring 10 away from the external environment, and needs to correspond to the air outlet hole 151, so that the air flow blown out by the outdoor fan 200 can go out of the air outlet hole 151.

[0045] The air guide ring 10 comprises a body part 11 and a flange part 12, and the body part 11 is connectable with the flange part 12. For example, the flange part 12 is arranged at the peripheral edge of the body part 11, so that the flange part 12 can be used as a connecting piece to connect the body part 11 and the support 20. The support 20 can be made of high-strength materials, such as stainless steel, aluminum alloy, etc., so that the support 20 can be used as a supporting piece, and by connecting a plurality of supports 20 with the flange part 12, the support 20 can provide balanced supporting force, and the support 20 can be connected with the air guide ring 10 through the flange part 12, so that the support 20 can be used to support the air guide ring 10 and the outdoor fan 200 arranged on the air guide ring 10.

[0046] The material of the air guide ring 10 can be aluminum alloy, stainless steel or plastic, and the number of the air guide ring 10 matches the number of the outdoor fan 200, so that each outdoor fan 200 is provided with a corresponding air guide ring 10. When the number of the air guide ring 10 is more than one, the adjacent air guide rings 10 can be connected through the flange part 12. For example, one of the flange parts 12 between the adjacent air guide rings 10 can be connected with the flange part 12 of the other air guide ring 10, so that the adjacent air guide rings 10 can be fixed through the flange part 12.

[0047] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments, the body part 11 and the flange part 12 are integrally formed.

[0048] In this way, by arranging the body part 11 and the flange part 12 as an integrally formed structure, the connection gap between different components can be avoided, so that the overall structural strength of the air guide ring 10 is enhanced, and the air guide ring 10 can withstand greater wind pressure and mechanical stress, and the service life of the air guide ring 10 is improved.

[0049] Specifically, the body part 11 and the flange part 12 can be made into an integral structure through a one-time forming process. The flange part 12 and the body part 11 can be integrally formed by casting, and common casting methods include sand casting, pressure casting, gas pressure casting, etc. For example, by injecting molten metal or alloy into a pre-made mold, the body part 11 and the flange part 12 of the integrally formed structure are formed after solidification and cooling.

[0050] The flange part 12 and the body part 11 can be integrally formed by forging, and common forging methods include free forging, die forging, extrusion forging, etc. For example, by heating the metal material to a temperature at which it is easy to deform, and applying pressure in the mold to make it plastic, the body part 11 and the flange part 12 of the integrally formed structure are formed.

[0051] The flange portion 12 and the body portion 11 can be integrally formed by plastic forming. For example, the body portion 11 and the flange portion 12 of the integrally formed structure are formed by stretching, stamping, rolling, or other processing of a metal material.

[0052] The flange portion 12 and the body portion 11 can be integrally formed by laser melting. For example, the body portion 11 and the flange portion 12 of the integrally formed structure are manufactured by locally heating the material with a laser beam to melt it and then controlling the deformation.

[0053] The integrally formed structure of the body portion 11 and the flange portion 12 can increase the connection strength between the body portion 11 and the flange portion 12, avoiding loosening or falling off during use. Since the body portion 11 and the flange are an integrally formed structure, the connection between them is usually tighter, which helps to provide better sealing effect and prevent air leakage or external impurities from entering. The integrally formed structure can reduce the connection gap between the body portion 11 and the flange portion 12, thereby reducing the resistance when the air flows through, making the air flow smoother. The integrally formed structure has a more neat and beautiful appearance, meeting the aesthetic requirements of modern air conditioning products. The integrally formed process usually has high production efficiency, which can shorten the production cycle and reduce the production cost.

[0054] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments, the support 20 includes a plurality of columns 21, which are arranged at intervals and connected with the body portion 11 through the flange portion 12.

[0055] In this way, the plurality of columns 21 are connected with the body portion 11 through the flange portion 12, so that the columns 21 can uniformly support the body portion 11, realizing the connection of the support 20 and the air guide ring 10.

[0056] Specifically, the support 20 includes columns 21, and the number of columns 21 can be multiple, and the number of columns 21 matches the shape of the body portion 11. For example, when the shape of the body portion 11 is rectangular, the number of columns 21 can be four; when the shape of the body portion 11 is polygonal, the number of columns 21 can correspond to the number of corners of the polygon. The plurality of columns 21 are arranged at intervals, for example, the columns 21 are arranged at the four corners of the rectangular body portion 11.

[0057] The column 21 can be connected with the body part 11 through the flanging part 12. For example, the column 21 is connected with the flanging part 12 through screwing, and the flanging part 12 is provided with a mounting hole, which can be arranged close to the connection of the adjacent flanging part 12, i.e. arranged close to the edge of the body part 11. The column 21 is screwed through the mounting hole, so that the column 21 can connect the adjacent flanging part 12. In some embodiments, the column 21 is connected with the flanging part 12 through welding, and the column 21 is welded on the adjacent flanging part 12, so that the column 21 is fixedly connected with the flanging part 12. In this way, the column 21 is connected with the flanging part 12 through the mounting hole, so that the column 21 and the flanging part 12 are fixed without the need of other connecting components, thereby saving cost.

[0058] Referring to Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, when the air outlet structure 100 includes a single air guide ring 10, the air outlet structure 100 includes a first air guide ring 13 and a first support 22, the first air guide ring 13 includes a first flanging part 131 and a first body part 132, and the first support 22 includes a plurality of first columns 221, which are arranged at intervals and connected with the first flanging part 131 and the first body part 132.

[0059] In this way, when the air conditioner 1000 includes a single air guide ring 10, the first air guide ring 13 and the first column 221 are connected through the first flanging part 131, so that additional connecting components are not needed, the assembly process of the air conditioner 1000 is reduced, the production efficiency of the air conditioner 1000 is improved, and cost is saved.

[0060] Specifically, when the air outlet structure 100 is provided with a single air guide ring 10, the air outlet structure 100 includes a first air guide ring 13 and a first support 22, and the first air guide ring 13 is provided with a first flanging part 131. The first flanging part 131 can be a first flanging edge 1311, and the first flanging part 131 can include a plurality of first flanging edges 1311, which are not limited herein and can surround the air guide ring 10 once.

[0061] The first air guide ring 13 includes a first body part 132, and the plurality of first flanging edges 1311 can be arranged at the circumferential edge of the first body part 132 and protrude the first body part 132 in the air outlet direction. In this way, the mounting position of the column 21 is provided by arranging the plurality of first flanging edges 1311 at the circumferential edge of the first body part 132 and protruding the first body part in the air outlet direction.

[0062] The first support 22 includes a plurality of first pillars 221, the number of which matches the shape of the first body portion 132. For example, when the shape of the first body portion 132 is rectangular, the number of first pillars 221 can be four; when the shape of the first body portion 132 is polygonal, the number of first pillars 221 can correspond to the number of corners of the polygon. The plurality of first pillars 221 are spaced apart, for example, the first pillars 221 are located at the four corners of the rectangular first body portion 132.

[0063] Furthermore, the first column 221 can be connected to the first body portion 132 via the first flange 1311. For example, the first column 221 and the first flange 1311 are connected by bolts. A first mounting hole 1312 is provided in the first flange 1311, and the first mounting hole 1312 is located near the connection point of adjacent first flanges 1311, that is, near the corner of the first body portion 132. The first column 221 connects adjacent first flanges 1311 by passing the bolt through the first mounting hole 1312. In some embodiments, the first column 221 and the first flange 1311 are connected by welding. By welding the first column 221 to the adjacent first flange 1311, the first column 221 can be fixedly connected to the first flange 1311. Thus, by setting the first mounting hole 1312, the first column 221 can be connected to the first folded edge 1311, thereby fixing the first column 221 and the first folded edge 1311 without the need for other flange parts 12, saving costs.

[0064] Please refer to section 5 again. Figure 6 In some embodiments, when the air outlet structure 100 includes multiple air guide rings 10, the air outlet structure 100 includes multiple second air guide rings 14 and a second support 23. The second air guide ring 14 includes a second body part 141, a second flange part 142 and a third flange part 143. The second support 23 includes multiple second columns 231. Two adjacent second body parts 141 are connected by the third flange part 143. The multiple second columns 231 are spaced apart and connected to the second body parts 141 by the second flange part 142.

[0065] In this way, by connecting multiple second air guide rings 14 and second columns 231 using the second connecting part, and connecting adjacent second air guide rings 14 using the third flange part 143, the use of connecting parts can be reduced, thereby reducing the assembly process of the air conditioner 1000, improving the production efficiency of the air conditioner 1000, and saving costs.

[0066] Specifically, the air conditioner 1000 is provided with multiple air guide rings 10, and the air outlet structure 100 includes multiple second air guide rings 14 and second supports 23. Wherein, the present application takes two air guide rings 10 as an example for description, and the air outlet structure 100 includes two second air guide rings 14 and second supports 23.

[0067] Each outdoor fan 200 is arranged at one side of a corresponding second air guide ring 14. For example, each outdoor fan 200 can be arranged at the side of the second air guide ring 14 facing away from the external environment. The second air guide ring 14 is provided with a second body part 141, a second flange part 142 and a third flange part 143. Wherein, the second flange part 142 includes multiple second flange edges 1421, which are not limited herein, and the third flange part 143 includes a third flange edge 1431, both ends of the third flange edge 1431 can be connected with the second flange edges 1421 respectively, and the second flange edges 1421 and the third flange edge 1431 can be connected with the second body part 141.

[0068] For example, multiple second flange edges 1421 and third flange edges 1431 are arranged at the circumferential edge of the second body part 141 and protrude outwards along the air outlet direction, so that the second flange edges 1421 and the third flange edges 1431 can surround the second body part 141. In this way, by arranging multiple second flange edges 1421 and third flange edges 1431 at the circumferential edge of the second body part 141 and protruding outwards along the air outlet direction, installation positions for installing the second vertical columns 231 can be provided.

[0069] The second support 23 includes multiple second vertical columns 231, and the number of the second vertical columns 231 matches the shape of the second body part. For example, when the shape of the second body part is rectangular, the number of the second vertical columns 231 can be four; when the shape of the second body part is polygonal, the number of the second vertical columns 231 can correspond to the number of the corners of the polygon. Multiple second vertical columns 231 are arranged at intervals, for example, the second vertical columns 231 are arranged at the four corners of the rectangular second body part.

[0070] And the second column 231 can be connected with the second body part 141 through the second folded edge part 142. For example, the second column 231 is connected with the second folded edge 1421 through screwing, and the second mounting hole 1422 is arranged on the second folded edge 1421, which can be arranged close to the connection of the adjacent second folded edge 1421, i.e. arranged close to the corner of the second body part 141. The second column 231 is connected with the adjacent second folded edge 1421 by passing the bolt through the second mounting hole 1422. In some embodiments, the second column 231 is connected with the second folded edge 1421 through welding, and the second column 231 is fixedly connected with the second folded edge 1421 by being welded on the adjacent second folded edge 1421. In this way, the second column 231 is connected with the second folded edge 1421 by arranging the second mounting hole 1422, so that the second column 231 and the second folded edge 1421 are fixed without the need to arrange other connecting components, thereby saving costs.

[0071] The adjacent two second body parts 141 are connected through the third folded edge part 143, so that the adjacent two second air guide rings 14 are connected. For example, the air outlet structure 100 includes a fastener 40, the third folded edge 1431 is provided with a positioning hole 1432, the positioning hole 1432 can be arranged at any position of the third folded edge 1431, and the positioning holes 1432 on the adjacent third folded edges 1431 can be arranged oppositely, so that the fastener 40 can pass through the positioning holes 1432 to fix the adjacent third folded edges 1431, thereby fixing the two second air guide rings 14. In this way, the adjacent third folded edges 1431 are fixed by using the fastener 40 to pass through the positioning holes 1432, thereby strengthening the structural strength between the adjacent second air guide rings 14.

The condensers 300 can be fixed on the air outlet structure 100. For example, the air outlet structure 100 comprises connecting plates 30, which are capable of connecting one side of adjacent condensers 300 and adjacent second air guide rings 14 by welding or bolt connection. The other side of the condensers 300 can be connected with the second vertical column 231 by welding or bolt connection, so that the connecting plates 30 can be used to support the adjacent second air guide rings 14.

[0079] Referring to Figure 4 and Figure 6 In some embodiments, the support 20 comprises at least one fixing frame 24, each fixing frame 24 is arranged on one side of a corresponding air guide ring 10, and the outdoor fan 200 is fixed on the fixing frame 24.

[0080] In this way, by arranging the fixing frame 24 to connect the air guide ring 10 and the fixing frame 24, the outdoor fan 200 can be provided with a mounting position, so that the outdoor fan 200 is fixed.

[0081] Specifically, the support 20 comprises fixing frames 24, the number of the fixing frames 24 can be multiple, which is not limited herein, and the fixing frames 24 can be connected with the side of the air guide ring 10 away from the external environment, thereby providing a mounting position for mounting the outdoor fan 200, so that the outdoor fan 200 is fixed on the fixing frame 24. For example, the outdoor fan 200 comprises a motor 220 and a fan blade 230, and the motor 220 and the fan blade 230 are respectively connected with the fixing frame 24 by welding or bolt connection. In this way, by connecting the motor 220 and the fan blade 230 with the fixing frame 24, the motor 220 and the fan blade 230 can be fixed.
