In addition, the following description, when referring to the drawings, the same reference numerals in different drawings represent the same or similar elements, and the present disclosure does not make redundant descriptions here.
[0087] According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, an air outlet device is provided, referring to Figures 1 to 6As shown in FIG. 1, the air outlet device includes an air outlet member 2 and an air sweeping mechanism 5, the air sweeping mechanism 5 includes a first air sweeping plate 51 and a second air sweeping plate 52 with different air sweeping directions, and the air outlet member 2, the first air sweeping plate 51 and the second air sweeping plate 52 are arranged in sequence from front to back, wherein each of the air outlet member 2, the first air sweeping plate 51 and the second air sweeping plate 52 is respectively provided with a soft air structure 100.
[0088] Through the above technical solution, in the air outlet device provided by the present disclosure, when the airflow is blown out from the air outlet member 2, the soft air structure 100 arranged on the air outlet member 2 can disperse the airflow, i.e., disperse the large airflow into small airflow, thereby realizing soft air type air outlet. When the first air sweeping plate 51 sweeps the air, the soft air structure 100 arranged on the first air sweeping plate 51 can also disperse the airflow, i.e., disperse the large airflow into small airflow, thereby realizing soft air type air sweeping. Similarly, when the second air sweeping plate 52 sweeps the air, the soft air structure 100 arranged on the second air sweeping plate 52 can also disperse the airflow, i.e., disperse the large airflow into small airflow, thereby realizing soft air type air sweeping.
[0089] Therefore, through the soft air structure 100 arranged on the air outlet member 2, the first air sweeping plate 51 and the second air sweeping plate 52, the user can flexibly select the required soft air structure 100 according to the needs, for example, the user can select the soft air structure 100 arranged on one or more of the air outlet member 2, the first air sweeping plate 51 and the second air sweeping plate 52 to realize single soft air, i.e., the soft air structure 100 arranged on one of the air outlet member 2, the first air sweeping plate 51 and the second air sweeping plate 52 is used for air outlet, or to realize double soft air, i.e., the soft air structure 100 arranged on two of the air outlet member 2, the first air sweeping plate 51 and the second air sweeping plate 52 is used for air outlet, or to realize full soft air, i.e., the soft air structure 100 arranged on each of the air outlet member 2, the first air sweeping plate 51 and the second air sweeping plate 52 is used for air outlet. Therefore, the soft air type air outlet of the air outlet device of the present disclosure is more flexible, which is suitable for improving the user experience.
[0090] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, referring to Figures 2 to 6 As shown in FIG. 1, the air outlet device can have a first air outlet mode, in which the air outlet member 2 is used for air outlet, and the first air sweeping plate 51 and the second air sweeping plate 52 stop sweeping the air. In this way, in the first air outlet mode, the soft air structure 100 arranged on the first air sweeping plate 51 does not sweep the air in a soft air type with the rotation of the first air sweeping plate 51, and the soft air structure 100 arranged on the second air sweeping plate 52 does not sweep the air in a soft air type with the rotation of the second air sweeping plate 52, at this time, only the soft air structure 100 arranged on the air outlet member 2 is used for soft air type air outlet, therefore, in the first air outlet mode, the air outlet device realizes single soft air.
[0091] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, referring to Figures 2 to 6As shown in FIG. 1, the air outlet device can have a second air outlet mode, in which the air outlet member 2 is used for air outlet, one of the first air sweeping panel 51 and the second air sweeping panel 52 is used for air sweeping, and the other one stops air sweeping. In this way, in the second air outlet mode, the soft wind structure 100 configured by the first air sweeping panel 51 performs soft wind type air sweeping along with the rotation of the first air sweeping panel 51, and the soft wind structure 100 configured by the second air sweeping panel 52 does not perform soft wind type air sweeping along with the rotation of the second air sweeping panel 52; at this time, the soft wind structure 100 configured by the air outlet member 2 is used for soft wind type air outlet, and the soft wind structure 100 configured by the first air sweeping panel 51 performs soft wind type air sweeping, and the soft wind structure 100 configured by the second air sweeping panel 52 performs soft wind type air sweeping, so that the air outlet device realizes double soft wind in the second air outlet mode.
[0092] Similarly, in the second air outlet mode, the soft wind structure 100 configured by the first air sweeping panel 51 performs soft wind type air sweeping along with the rotation of the first air sweeping panel 51, and the soft wind structure 100 configured by the second air sweeping panel 52 does not perform soft wind type air sweeping along with the rotation of the second air sweeping panel 52; at this time, the soft wind structure 100 configured by the air outlet member 2 is used for soft wind type air outlet, and the soft wind structure 100 configured by the first air sweeping panel 51 performs soft wind type air sweeping, and the soft wind structure 100 configured by the second air sweeping panel 52 performs soft wind type air sweeping, so that the air outlet device realizes double soft wind in the second air outlet mode.
[0093] In some embodiments, with reference to Figures 2 to 6 As shown in FIG. 1, the air outlet device can have a third air outlet mode, in which the air outlet member 2 is used for air outlet, and the first air sweeping panel 51 and the second air sweeping panel 52 each perform air sweeping. In this way, in the third air outlet mode, the soft wind structure 100 configured by the first air sweeping panel 51 performs soft wind type air sweeping along with the rotation of the first air sweeping panel 51, and the soft wind structure 100 configured by the second air sweeping panel 52 performs soft wind type air sweeping along with the rotation of the second air sweeping panel 52; at this time, the soft wind structure 100 configured by the air outlet member 2 is used for soft wind type air outlet, the soft wind structure 100 configured by the first air sweeping panel 51 performs soft wind type air sweeping, and the soft wind structure 100 configured by the second air sweeping panel 52 performs soft wind type air sweeping, so that the air outlet device realizes full soft wind in the third air outlet mode.
[0094] In some embodiments, with reference to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in FIG. 1, the air outlet device can include a housing 1, the housing 1 includes an air outlet channel 12, the air outlet channel 12 is located upstream of the first air sweeping panel 51, and a grille 14 is arranged at the outlet of the air outlet channel 12.

[0095] In some embodiments, since the grid 14 is located upstream of the first air sweeping panel 51, i.e. upstream of the first air sweeping panel 51, the second air sweeping panel 52 and the air outlet member 2, the grid 14 is used for soft air type air outlet in the first air outlet mode, the second air outlet mode and the third air outlet mode.
[0096] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 2 , the grid 14 is rotatably arranged at the outlet around an axis perpendicular to the front-rear direction. In this way, the grid 14 can also sweep air to improve the diversity of air outlet.
[0097] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 2 , the air outlet member 2 includes a front panel 21 provided with a front air outlet 211, and the grid 14 is rotatably arranged at the outlet around an axis extending along the length direction of the front panel 21.

[0101] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 4 , the soft air structure 100 configured by the first air sweeping panel 51 includes a plurality of first axial flow blades 512 rotatably arranged on the first air sweeping panel 51. In this way, the rotation of the plurality of first axial flow blades 512 can also disperse the airflow, wherein the first axial flow blades 512 can rotate under the blowing of the airflow.
[0102] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 4As shown in FIG. 1, the rotation axis of the first axial flow blade 512 is perpendicular to the plate thickness direction of the first air sweeping plate 51, so as to save space and disperse the airflow.

[0108] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 1, the number of the first air sweeping plates 51 is multiple, and the multiple first air sweeping plates 51 rotate synchronously, so as to improve the air sweeping effect.
[0109] Figure 2 In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 1, the number of the first air sweeping plates 51 is multiple, and the multiple first air sweeping plates 51 rotate synchronously, so as to improve the air sweeping effect.
[0110] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 2 As shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the second air sweeping plate 52 is connected to the air outlet member 2, so that the second air sweeping plate 52 can be integrated to the air outlet member 2, so as to realize compact arrangement and avoid interference between the air outlet member 2 and the second air sweeping plate 52 when the air outlet member 2 is movable.
[0111] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the air outlet device comprises a housing 1, the air outlet member 2 comprises a front plate 21 provided with a front air outlet 211, and the air outlet member 2 is movably arranged in the housing 1. In this way, when the air outlet member 2 is movable, the orientation or position of the front air outlet 211 can be changed, and the orientation and position of the first air sweeping plate 51 and / or the second air sweeping plate 52 can be changed, thereby facilitating the realization of the diversity of air outlet.
[0112] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 2 As shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the air outlet member 2 comprises a receiving cavity 30, at least a part of the first air sweeping plate 51 is arranged in the receiving cavity 30, and / or the air sweeping mechanism 5 comprises a second air sweeping plate 52, at least a part of the second air sweeping plate 52 is arranged in the receiving cavity 30. In this way, the first air sweeping plate 51 and / or the second air sweeping plate 52 can be arranged by using the receiving cavity 30, thereby reducing or even avoiding the occupation of the first air sweeping plate 51 and / or the second air sweeping plate 52 to other arrangement spaces, so that the compact design of the air outlet device can be further realized.
[0113] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 2 As shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the air outlet member 2 comprises a front plate 21 provided with a front air outlet 211, and the air sweeping mechanism 5 is located at the rear side of the front plate 21. In this way, the air sweeping mechanism 5 can sweep air at the rear side of the front plate 21.
[0114] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 2 As shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the air outlet member 2 comprises a side plate 22 arranged at the side of the front plate 21, and the side plate 22 and the front plate 21 enclose a receiving cavity 30. In this way, the receiving cavity 30 can be formed by using the enclosure of the side plate 22 and the front plate 21, which is simple in structure and easy to realize.
[0115] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 2 to 6 As shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the rotation axis of the first air sweeping plate 51 can extend along the length direction of the front plate 21, and the rotation axis of the second air sweeping plate 52 can extend along the width direction of the front plate 21. In this way, the first air sweeping plate 51 can sweep air in the width direction of the front plate 21, and the second air sweeping plate 52 can sweep air in the length direction of the front plate 21.
[0116] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 2 to 6As shown in FIG. 1, the number of the first air sweeping plates 51 is multiple, and the multiple first air sweeping plates 51 are arranged along the width direction of the front plate 21; the number of the second air sweeping plates 52 is multiple, and the multiple second air sweeping plates 52 are arranged along the length direction of the front plate 21. In this way, the arrangement space of the receiving cavity 30 in the width direction of the front plate 21 can be used to arrange the multiple first air sweeping plates 51, and the arrangement space of the receiving cavity 30 in the length direction of the front plate 21 can be used to arrange the multiple second air sweeping plates 52. Thus, by occupying the receiving cavity 30 in different directions, the arrangement space utilization of the receiving cavity 30 can be effectively improved, which is beneficial to the reasonable arrangement of the first air sweeping plates 51 and the second air sweeping plates 52.
[0117] In some embodiments, with reference to Figures 2 to 6 As shown in FIG. 1, the receiving cavity 30 can have a width in the width direction of the front plate 21, and the side plate 22 gradually approaches from front to back at the part located on both sides of the width direction of the front plate 21, so that the width of the receiving cavity 30 gradually decreases from front to back. The multiple first air sweeping plates 51 are arranged at the front side of the multiple second air sweeping plates 52. In this way, since the width of the receiving cavity 30 at the front side is larger, and the multiple first air sweeping plates 51 are arranged along the width direction of the front plate 21, the multiple first air sweeping plates 51 are arranged at the front side, which is beneficial to arranging the multiple first air sweeping plates 51 at the position with larger width of the receiving cavity 30. Since the multiple second air sweeping plates 52 are arranged along the length direction of the front plate 21, the multiple second air sweeping plates 52 occupy smaller arrangement space in the width direction, and thus, the multiple second air sweeping plates 52 are arranged at the back side. Therefore, the above arrangement facilitates the full use of the arrangement space in the receiving cavity 30, and realizes the reasonable arrangement of the multiple first air sweeping plates 51 and the multiple second air sweeping plates 52.
[0118] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, with reference to Figures 7 to 31 As shown in FIG. 1, the air outlet member 2 is movably arranged in the housing 1 in the front-rear direction, so as to be pushed out forwardly or retreated back into the housing 1.
[0119] Through the above technical solution, in the air outlet device provided by the present disclosure, since the air outlet member 2 is movable forwardly and rearwardly, that is, the front plate 21 and the front air outlet 211 are movable forwardly and rearwardly. When the front air outlet 211 moves forwardly from the initial position, the distance of the forward movement of the front air outlet 211 is the increased air outlet distance, that is, the forward movement of the front air outlet 211 can increase the air supply distance of the air outlet device forwardly. Thus, the air supply effect of the air outlet device is improved.
[0120] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, with reference to Figures 7 to 20As shown in FIG. 1, the side plate 22 can be provided with at least one side air outlet 221, and the air outlet piece 2 has a retracted position and a first pushed-out position. In the retracted position, the side air outlet 221 is covered by the shell 1. In the first pushed-out position, the air outlet piece 2 is pushed out of the shell 1, and the side air outlet 221 is exposed. In this way, in the retracted position, the side air outlet 221 is limited to air outlet because it is covered by the shell 1, and at this time, the front air outlet 211 is used for air outlet. In the first pushed-out position, the side air outlet 221 is arranged away from the shell 1 because the air outlet piece 2 is pushed out of the shell 1, and the side air outlet 221 is exposed, that is, the side air outlet 221 is opened in an exposed manner, and at this time, the front air outlet 211 and the side air outlet 221 are used for air outlet. In this way, on the one hand, the air outlet amount of the air outlet piece 2 can be increased, and on the other hand, the side air outlet 221 is arranged at an angle to the front air outlet 211, which can expand the air outlet angle of the air outlet piece 2, thereby increasing the air outlet range, thereby improving the user experience. Therefore, the user can arrange the air outlet piece 2 in the retracted position and the first pushed-out position according to the needs, and the above arrangement is conducive to the diversity of the air outlet of the air outlet device.
[0121] It should be noted that since the side plate 22 is arranged on the side of the front plate 21, that is, at least part of the side plate 22 can be arranged on the side of the front plate 21 perpendicular to the front-rear direction. Among them, in some embodiments, the side plate 22 can be arranged around the front plate 21, and the side plate 22 is configured as an annular plate, that is, the upper side, the lower side, the left side and the right side of the front plate 21 can be provided with part of the side plate 22. The arrangement position and the number of the side air outlet 221 can be designed according to the needs.
[0122] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 19 and Figure 22 and Figure 27 As shown in FIG. 1, the air outlet piece 2 can also have a second pushed-out position located in front of the first pushed-out position. In the second pushed-out position, the edge of the side plate 22 is spaced apart from the shell 1 to form the first air outlet 10. In this way, in the second pushed-out position, the edge of the side plate 22 is also arranged spaced apart from the shell 1, so that the first air outlet 10 can be formed in the spacing position between the two, and thus the first air outlet 10 can also be used for air outlet, so that the arrangement of the first air outlet 10 can also increase the air outlet amount and the air outlet range. Therefore, in the second pushed-out position, the air outlet distance, the air outlet amount and the air outlet range of the air outlet device can be improved through the joint air outlet of the front air outlet 211, the side air outlet 221 and the first air outlet 10, thereby improving the air outlet effect of the air outlet device.
[0123] In some embodiments, in the retracted position, the front air outlet surface 214 of the front plate can be substantially flush with the front surface of the shell. In this way, the consistency of the appearance of the air outlet device can be improved.
[0124] In some embodiments, in the retracted position, the front air outlet face 214 of the front plate can protrude from the front surface of the housing. In this way, the position of the front air outlet is more forward in the retracted position, which is conducive to increasing the limit distance of the front air outlet to the front.
[0125] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, with reference to Figures 7 to 20 As shown in FIG. 2, at least part of the side plate 22 is arranged at the rear side of the front plate 21, and the part of the side plate 22 at the rear side of the front plate 21 is provided with a side air outlet 221. In this way, on the one hand, the side air outlet 221 is arranged at the rear side of the front air outlet 211, which is conducive to the airflow flowing out from the side air outlet 221, and on the other hand, the above-mentioned arrangement makes the side air outlet 221 and the front air outlet 211 be arranged at an angle.
[0126] In some embodiments, with reference to Figures 7 to 20 As shown in FIG. 2, the part of the side plate 22 at the rear side of the front plate 21 can extend inwardly from front to back, so that the side plate 22 and the front plate 21 can be arranged at an angle.

In this way, the above-mentioned arrangement can flexibly arrange the position and number of the side air outlets 221.
[0128] For example, in some embodiments, in the length direction of the front plate 21, the side plate 22 is provided with a side air outlet 221 on one side of the two sides, and in the width direction of the front plate 21, the side plate 22 is provided with a side air outlet 221 on one side of the two sides.

[0131] For example, in some embodiments, the side plate 22 is provided with a side air outlet 221 on one side or both sides in the length direction of the front plate 21.
[0132] For example, in some embodiments, the side plate 22 is provided with a side air outlet 221 on one side or both sides in the length direction of the front plate 21.
[0133] For example, in some embodiments, the side plate 22 has a first side 23 and a second side 24 arranged oppositely in the width direction of the front plate 21, and the first side 23 and the second side 24 are both provided with a side air outlet 221. In this way, in the first or second pushed-out position, the side air outlets 221 on both sides of the side plate 22 in the width direction of the front plate 21 are used for air outlet, thereby further improving the air outlet angle and air outlet range.
[0134] For example, in some embodiments, as shown in Figure 16 , the side plate 22 has a third side 25 and a fourth side 26 arranged oppositely in the length direction of the front plate 21, and the third side 25 and the fourth side 26 are both provided with a side air outlet 221. In this way, in the first or second pushed-out position, the side air outlets 221 on both sides of the side plate 22 in the length direction of the front plate 21 are used for air outlet, thereby further improving the air outlet angle and air outlet range.
[0135] It should be noted that the width direction of the front plate 21 described above can be the left-right direction for the air outlet device corresponding to the floor-standing indoor unit.
