Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air conditioning technology, and in particular to an air outlet assembly, a duct air conditioner, and an air conditioner. Background Technology

[0002] Ductless air conditioners draw air from indoor spaces. Since indoor air contains dust and impurities, these can affect the normal operation of the indoor unit. Therefore, a filter needs to be installed at the air vent of the indoor unit to filter the air. Over time, the filter's efficiency will be affected by the accumulation of dust and lint, so regular cleaning or replacement is necessary. Current ductless air conditioners, in order to achieve both horizontal and vertical airflow, install a filter structure and an air guide plate at the same air vent. Furthermore, the filter structure needs to be positioned on the side of the air guide plate closer to the inside of the ductless unit to avoid interference. However, because the filter structure is located inside the ductless unit, cleaning or replacing the filter becomes more difficult, severely impacting the user experience. Utility Model Content

[0035] Ductless air conditioners draw air from indoor spaces. Since indoor air contains dust and impurities, these can affect the normal operation of the indoor unit. Therefore, a filter needs to be installed at the air vent of the indoor unit to filter the air. Over time, the filter's efficiency will be affected by the accumulation of dust and lint, so regular cleaning or replacement is necessary. Current ductless air conditioners, in order to achieve both horizontal and vertical airflow, install a filter structure and an air guide plate at the same air vent. Furthermore, the filter structure needs to be positioned on the side of the air guide plate closer to the inside of the ductless unit to avoid interference. However, because the filter structure is located inside the ductless unit, cleaning or replacing the filter becomes more difficult, severely impacting the user experience.

[0036] Therefore, this application provides a method such as Figures 1 to 8The air vent assembly shown is located at the air vent of the ducted air conditioner 1. The air vent assembly includes: a housing 2 with a first connecting port and a second connecting port 22, the first connecting port communicating with the air vent; a filter structure 3 detachably disposed within the housing 2 and located between the first connecting port and the second connecting port 22; and an air guide plate 4 detachably disposed at the second connecting port 22, allowing the air vent assembly to detach and install the filter structure 3 via the second connecting port 22. By making the air guide plate 4 detachable, when the filter structure 3 needs to be disassembled and installed, the air guide plate 4 can be removed from the second connecting port 22, and then the filter structure 3 can be directly disassembled and installed through the second connecting port 22. This improves the efficiency of cleaning or replacing the filter structure 3, facilitates after-sales cleaning and replacement, and enhances the user experience.

[0037] Optionally, the filter structure 3 is a filter screen, which can be detachably mounted on the housing 2 or detachably mounted on the duct unit housing. The filter structure 3 can also be an electro-purification filter or have a self-cleaning function.

[0038] To facilitate the disassembly and assembly of the air guide plate 4, a quick-release mechanism is provided on the air guide plate 4, which allows the air guide plate 4 to be detachably mounted on the housing 2. When cleaning or replacing the filter structure 3, the quick-release mechanism is operated to remove the air guide plate 4, and then the filter structure 3 can be disassembled and assembled through the second connecting port 22. The quick-release mechanism is located on the side of the air guide plate 4 facing the inside of the housing 2. Since the air guide plate 4 needs to adjust the airflow direction, it is rotatably mounted. Rotation of the air guide plate 4 exposes the quick-release mechanism to the operator's working range, allowing for operation and removal of the air guide plate 4.

[0039] In one embodiment, the quick-release mechanism includes a pin 51, and the housing 2 is provided with a socket. The pin 51 is detachably engaged with the socket. The air guide plate 4 can be disassembled and assembled by moving the pin 51, thereby achieving the purpose of quick disassembly and assembly.

[0040] Optionally, the air guide plate 4 is provided with a sliding groove 52, and the pin 51 is movably disposed within the sliding groove 52. In this case, the pin 51 is always connected to the air guide plate 4, thereby avoiding the problem of the pin 51 being lost due to being set up separately, and ensuring the reliability of the air outlet assembly.

[0041] To prevent the pin 51 from remaining constantly movable on the slide 52 and thus failing to reliably engage with the socket, two fixed positions 53 are formed on the slide 52. The pin 51 is locked into the socket at one fixed position 53, and disengaged from the socket at the other fixed position 53. These fixed positions 53 secure the pin 51, ensuring a relatively reliable position between the pin 51 and the socket. The fixed position 53 can be a portion of the slide 52 with a smaller cross-sectional area. This smaller cross-sectional area requires external force to move the pin 51, ensuring that the pin 51 can only be moved by the operator, thus guaranteeing the reliable installation of the air guide plate 4.

[0042] The ducted air conditioner 1 also includes a fan, the fan outlet of which is located at the first connecting port. The filter structure 3 is provided with a clearance area 31. The air outlet is connected to the second connecting port 22 through the clearance area 31. When the ducted air conditioner 1 uses this air outlet as the air outlet, the clearance area 31 allows the fan's air to be discharged directly through the second connecting port 22 without being filtered by the filter structure 3. This prevents dust and other particles on the filter structure 3 from being carried into the room by the airflow, ensuring indoor air cleanliness and improving the user experience. When the ducted air conditioner 1 uses this air outlet as the return air outlet, the indoor air can flow through other areas on the filter structure 3 to the first connecting port and then be drawn in by the fan through the fan inlet. In this case, the filter structure 3 can ensure reliable filtration of the indoor air, ensuring the reliable operation of the ducted air conditioner 1.

[0043] The air vents include a first air vent 11 and a second air vent 12, and the fan outlets include a first air outlet and a second air outlet. The ducted air conditioner 1 has a first state where air enters through the first air vent 11 and air exits through the second air outlet connected to the second air vent 12. The ducted air conditioner 1 also has a second state where air enters through the second air vent 12 and air exits through the first air outlet connected to the first air vent 11. The indoor unit adjusts the air outlet direction by either using the first air vent 11 or the second air vent 12 as needed. When the indoor unit is in the first state, the first air vent 11 acts as an air inlet, and the second air vent 12 acts as an air outlet. The air outlet allows gas to enter the duct unit housing from the first air outlet 11 and flow to the fan inlet, then exit through the second air outlet 12. When the indoor unit is in the second state, the first air outlet 11 acts as the air outlet and the second air outlet 12 acts as the air inlet. Gas enters the duct unit housing from the second air outlet 12 and flows to the fan inlet, then exits through the first air outlet 11. The fan controls the airflow direction by controlling the opening and closing of the first and second air outlets, ensuring that the fan's airflow matches the indoor unit's airflow direction and guaranteeing the indoor unit's airflow performance.

[0044] The filter structure 3 is disposed between the first air vent 11 and the first air outlet. The first air outlet is connected to the first air vent 11 through the avoidance area 31. When the indoor unit is in the first state, the airflow of the first air vent 11 can only flow through the filter area to the fan inlet. The second air outlet of the fan is connected to the second air vent 12, thereby ensuring the air outlet efficiency of the fan and the air outlet efficiency of the indoor unit. When the indoor unit is in the second state, the airflow of the second air vent 12 flows to the fan inlet, and then flows through the first air outlet and the avoidance area 31 corresponding to the first air outlet to the first air vent 11 for air outlet. This reduces the fluid resistance between the first air outlet and the first air vent 11, ensuring the reliability of gas filtration by the indoor unit in the first state and the reliability of air supply in the second state.

[0045] Alternatively, the filter structure 3 is disposed between the second air outlet and the second air vent 12. The second air outlet is connected to the second air vent 12 through the avoidance area 31. When the indoor unit is in the first state, the airflow from the first air vent 11 flows to the fan inlet, while the second air outlet of the fan is connected to the second air vent 12 through the corresponding avoidance area 31, reducing the fluid resistance between the second air outlet and the second air vent 12, thereby ensuring the airflow efficiency of the fan and the airflow efficiency of the indoor unit. When the indoor unit is in the second state, the airflow from the second air vent 12 can only flow through the filter area to the fan inlet, and then flow through the first air outlet to the first air vent 11 for air outlet, ensuring the air supply reliability of the indoor unit in the first state and the air filtration reliability in the second state.

[0046] The fan includes: a fixed volute, on which a first air outlet and a second air outlet are provided; and a movable volute, which is movably disposed within the fixed volute, and the movable volute has a first working state of shielding the first air outlet and avoiding the second air outlet, and the movable volute also has a second working state of avoiding the first air outlet and shielding the second air outlet. By switching the state of the movable volute, the airflow of the fan can be controlled to exit from either the first or second air outlet. When the movable volute is in the first working state, it blocks the first air outlet, thereby opening the second air outlet, allowing the gas entering from the fan inlet to exit through the second air outlet. When the movable volute is in the second working state, it blocks the second air outlet, thereby opening the first air outlet, allowing the gas entering from the fan inlet to exit through the first air outlet. The fan can achieve airflow in different directions depending on the arrangement of the first and second air outlets, thus achieving the purpose of adjusting the fan's airflow direction. It also allows the fan to be adjusted according to the airflow direction requirements of the indoor unit, ensuring the airflow effect of the indoor unit. Preferably, the fan is a centrifugal fan, and the axis of the centrifugal fan is parallel to the horizontal plane.

[0047] When the movable volute is in the first working state or the second working state, a portion of the movable volute and the fixed volute form a complete volute-shaped structure. By forming a complete volute-shaped structure with the fixed volute, the airflow is effectively driven and guided, allowing the airflow to smoothly enter the volute-shaped structure through the fan inlet and flow smoothly to the first or second air outlet after being guided by the volute-shaped structure, and finally discharged from the fan, ensuring the fan's working efficiency.

[0048] The first air vent 11 is located on the bottom wall of the duct unit housing, and the second air vent 12 is located on the side wall of the duct unit housing. When the indoor unit is in the first state, the indoor unit realizes bottom air return and side air outlet, realizing the horizontal blowing of cold air and avoiding the discomfort caused by direct cold air blowing. When the indoor unit is in the second state, it realizes side air return and bottom air outlet, realizing the downward blowing of hot air and improving the heating effect.

[0049] Alternatively, the first air outlet can be connected to the outside of the duct unit housing via the side wall of the duct unit housing, so as to realize the horizontal blowing of cold air and avoid the discomfort caused by direct blowing of cold air; the second air outlet can be connected to the outside of the duct unit housing via the bottom wall of the duct unit housing, so as to realize the downward blowing of hot air and improve the heating effect.

[0050] A ducted air conditioner includes the aforementioned air outlet assembly.

[0051] An air conditioner comprising the aforementioned air outlet assembly or the aforementioned duct unit.

[0052] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
