[0043] Please see Figures 1 to 4An air conditioner 1000 provided in this application includes at least one outdoor fan 100 and an air outlet structure 200; the air outlet structure 200 includes at least one air guide ring 210 and a bracket 230, the air guide ring 210 is provided with an air outlet 211, each outdoor fan 100 is located on one side of a corresponding air guide ring 210 and corresponds to the air outlet 211, and the air guide ring 210 is provided with a first connecting part 221; the bracket 230 includes a plurality of columns 231, the plurality of columns 231 are spaced apart and connected to the air guide ring 210 through the first connecting part 221.
[0044] Thus, by connecting the column 231 to the first connecting part 221 on the air guide ring 210, the bracket 230 and the air guide ring 210 are connected, which reduces the use of connecting parts, thereby reducing the assembly process of the air conditioner 1000, improving the production efficiency of the air conditioner 1000, and saving costs.
[0045] 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 regulate indoor temperature by absorbing and releasing heat through the circulation of refrigerant. Air conditioner 1000 includes integrated and split types. The integrated air conditioner 1000 integrates the condenser 400, evaporator, compressor, expansion valve, piping, and all other system components that make up the air conditioning system into a single integrated casing.
[0046] The split-type air conditioner 1000 consists of two main parts: an indoor unit and an outdoor unit. The indoor unit is typically installed indoors and is responsible for regulating indoor temperature and humidity. The outdoor unit is installed outdoors and mainly includes components such as a compressor, condenser 400, and outdoor fan 100, responsible for refrigerant circulation and heat dissipation. The indoor and outdoor units are connected by pipes and wires to form a complete air conditioning system.
[0047] Specifically, the air conditioner 1000 includes at least one outdoor fan 100 and an air outlet structure 200. During the cooling cycle of the air conditioner 1000, the outdoor fan 100 accelerates airflow, promoting heat exchange between the air and the condenser 400, enabling the condenser 400 to effectively release heat into the outdoor air. The air outlet structure 200 provides a window for heat exchange between the outdoor fan 100 and the external environment, and also serves as a support for the outdoor fan 100, allowing air to enter the outdoor fan 100 and carry away the heat generated by the condenser 400, thus improving the cooling / heating efficiency of the air conditioner 1000. For example, by precisely controlling the opening and direction of the air outlet 211 of the air outlet structure 200, waste of cold / hot air can be reduced, making the air conditioner 1000 more energy-efficient.
[0048] The air outlet structure 200 includes an air guide ring 210, which guides the airflow generated by the outdoor fan 100 to flow into the external environment in a predetermined direction. The air guide ring 210 also enhances heat dissipation. By optimizing the airflow path and speed, the air guide ring 210 can help the outdoor fan 100 dissipate heat more effectively. The design of the air guide ring 210 can also reduce the noise of the air conditioner 1000 during operation. By guiding the airflow through the air outlet 211 in a smoother manner, it can reduce the generation of eddies and turbulence, thereby reducing the noise level.
[0049] The air guide ring 210 can be made of aluminum alloy, stainless steel, or plastic, and the number of air guide rings 210 matches the number of outdoor fans 100, so that each outdoor fan 100 has a corresponding air guide ring 210. The air guide ring 210 has an air outlet 211, which allows ambient air to enter and then the outdoor fan 100 to blow out a heated airflow from the air outlet 211. The outdoor fan 100 can be positioned on the side of the air guide ring 210 facing away from the ambient environment and must correspond to the air outlet 211 so that the airflow blown by the outdoor fan 100 can exit from the air outlet 211.
[0050] The air guide ring 210 is provided with a first connecting part 221, which can be used as a connector to connect the air guide ring 210 and the bracket 230. For example, the bracket 230 includes multiple columns 231, which can be made of high-strength materials such as stainless steel or aluminum alloy, so that the columns 231 can be used as support members. By arranging multiple columns 231 at intervals, the columns 231 can provide balanced support force. The columns 231 can be connected to the air guide ring 210 through the first connecting part 221, so that the columns 231 can be used to support the air guide ring 210 and the outdoor fan 100 installed on the air guide ring 210.
[0051] Please see Figure 1 In some embodiments, the air guide ring 210 and the first connecting part 221 are integrally formed.
[0052] In this way, by integrating the air guide ring 210 and the first connecting part 221 into a single structure, gaps between different components can be avoided, thereby enhancing the overall structural strength of the air guide ring 210 assembly and enabling it to withstand greater wind pressure and mechanical stress, thus improving the service life of the air guide ring 210.
[0053] Specifically, the air guide ring 210 and the first connecting part 221 can be manufactured as a single integral structure using a one-time molding process. The first connecting part 221 and the air guide ring 210 can also be integrally molded by casting, with common casting methods including sand casting, pressure casting, and pneumatic casting. For example, molten metal or alloy can be injected into a pre-made mold, and after solidification and cooling, an integrally molded air guide ring 210 and first connecting part 221 can be formed.
[0054] The first connecting part 221 and the air guide ring 210 can be integrally formed by forging. Common forging methods include free forging, die forging, and extrusion forging. For example, by heating the metal material to a temperature that is easy to deform, pressure is applied in a mold to plastically deform it into an integrally formed air guide ring 210 and first connecting part 221.
[0055] The first connecting part 221 and the air guide ring 210 can be integrally formed by plastic forming. For example, the air guide ring 210 and the first connecting part 221 can be integrally formed by stretching, stamping, rolling and other processing of metal materials.
[0056] The first connecting portion 221 and the air guide ring 210 can be integrally formed by laser melting. For example, the air guide ring 210 and the first connecting portion 221 can be integrally formed by locally heating the material with a laser beam, melting it, and then controlling the deformation.
[0057] The integral molding structure of the air guide ring 210 and the first connecting part 221 increases the connection strength between them, preventing loosening or detachment during use. Because the air guide ring 210 and the flange are integrally molded, the connection points are typically tighter, contributing to a better seal and preventing airflow leakage or the entry of external impurities. The integral molding structure reduces the connection gap between the air guide ring 210 and the first connecting part 221, thereby reducing airflow resistance and ensuring smoother airflow. The integral molding structure also results in a cleaner and more aesthetically pleasing appearance, meeting the aesthetic requirements of modern air conditioning products. Furthermore, the integral molding process typically offers higher production efficiency, shortening the production cycle and reducing production costs.
[0058] Please see Figure 3 In some embodiments, when the air conditioner 1000 includes a single outdoor fan 100, the air outlet structure 200 includes a first air guide ring 212 and a first bracket 232. The first air guide ring 212 is provided with a first connecting portion 221, and the first bracket 232 includes a plurality of first columns 2321. The plurality of first columns 2321 are spaced apart and connected to the first air guide ring 212 through the first connecting portion 221.
[0059] Thus, in the case of a single outdoor fan 100 included in the air conditioner 1000, the first air guide ring 212 and the first column 2321 are connected by the first connecting part 221, thereby eliminating the need for an additional first connecting part 221, reducing the assembly process of the air conditioner 1000, improving the production efficiency of the air conditioner 1000, and saving costs.
[0060] Specifically, when the air conditioner 1000 is equipped with a single outdoor fan 100, the air outlet structure 200 includes a first air guide ring 212 and a first bracket 232, and a first connecting portion 221 is provided on the first air guide ring 212. The first connecting portion 221 may be a first folded edge 2211, and the first connecting portion 221 may include multiple first folded edges 2211, which is not limited here. Multiple first folded edges 2211 can surround the air guide ring 210 once.
[0061] The first air guide ring 212 includes a first body 2121, and a plurality of first flanges 2211 can be disposed on the peripheral edge of the first body 2121 and protrude from the first body 2121 in the air outlet direction. In this way, by disposing of a plurality of first flanges 2211 on the periphery of the first body 2121 and protruding from the first body 2121 in the air outlet direction, an installation position for the column 231 can be provided.
[0062] The first support 232 includes a plurality of first pillars 2321, the number of which matches the shape of the first body 2121. For example, when the shape of the first body 2121 is rectangular, the number of first pillars 2321 can be four; when the shape of the first body 2121 is polygonal, the number of first pillars 2321 can correspond to the number of the polygon's corners. The plurality of first pillars 2321 are spaced apart, for example, the first pillars 2321 are located at the four corners of the rectangular first body 2121.
[0063] Furthermore, the first column 2321 can be connected to the first air guide ring 212 via the first folded edge 2211. For example, the first column 2321 and the first folded edge 2211 are connected by bolts. A first mounting hole 2212 is provided in the first folded edge 2211, and this first mounting hole 2212 is located near the connection point of adjacent first folded edges 2211, i.e., near the corner of the first body 2121. The first column 2321 connects adjacent first folded edges 2211 by passing the bolt through the first mounting hole 2212. In some embodiments, the first column 2321 and the first folded edge 2211 are connected by welding. By welding the first column 2321 to the adjacent first folded edge 2211, the first column 2321 can be fixedly connected to the first folded edge 2211. Thus, by setting the first mounting hole 2212, the first column 2321 can be connected to the first folded edge 2211, thereby fixing the first column 2321 and the first folded edge 2211 without the need for other connecting parts, saving costs.
[0064] Please see Figure 1 In some embodiments, when the air conditioner 1000 includes a plurality of outdoor fans 100, the air outlet structure 200 includes a plurality of second air guide rings 213 and a second bracket 233. Each outdoor fan 100 is disposed on one side of a corresponding second air guide ring 213. The second air guide ring 213 is provided with a first connecting portion 221 and a second connecting portion 222. The second bracket 233 includes a plurality of second columns 2331. Two adjacent second air guide rings 213 are connected by the second connecting portion 222. The plurality of second columns 2331 are spaced apart and connected to the second air guide rings 213 by the first connecting portion 221.
[0065] In this way, by using the second connecting part 222 to connect multiple second air guide rings 213 and second column 2331, and by using the second connecting part 222 to connect adjacent second air guide rings 213, the use of connecting parts is 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, when the air conditioner 1000 is equipped with multiple outdoor fans 100, the air outlet structure 200 includes multiple second air guide rings 213 and second brackets 233. In this application, taking two outdoor fans 100 as an example, the air outlet structure 200 includes two second air guide rings 213 and second brackets 233.
[0067] Each outdoor fan 100 is located on one side of a corresponding second air guide ring 213. For example, each outdoor fan 100 can have its second air guide ring 213 positioned on the side facing away from the external environment. The second air guide ring 213 has a first connecting portion 221 and a second connecting portion 222. The first connecting portion 221 includes a plurality of second folded edges 2213, which are not limited here. The second connecting portion 222 includes a third folded edge 2221, the two ends of which can be connected to the second folded edges 2213 respectively.
[0068] The second air guide ring 213 includes a second body 2131, with multiple second flanges 2213 and third flanges 2221 disposed on the peripheral edge of the second body 2131 and protruding from the second body 2131 in the air outlet direction, thereby enabling the second flanges 2213 and third flanges 2221 to surround the air guide ring 210 once. Thus, by disposing of multiple second flanges 2213 and third flanges 2221 on the peripheral edge of the second body 2131 and protruding from the second body 2131 in the air outlet direction, an installation position for mounting the second column 2331 can be provided.
[0069] The second support 233 includes a plurality of second pillars 2331, the number of which matches the shape of the second body 2131. For example, when the shape of the second body 2131 is rectangular, the number of second pillars 2331 can be four; when the shape of the second body 2131 is polygonal, the number of second pillars 2331 can correspond to the number of corners of the polygon. The plurality of second pillars 2331 are spaced apart, for example, the second pillars 2331 are located at the four corners of the rectangular second body 2131.
[0070] Furthermore, the second column 2331 can be connected to the second air guide ring 213 via the second flange 2213. For example, the second column 2331 and the second flange 2213 are connected by bolts, and a second mounting hole 2214 is provided in the second flange 2213. The second mounting hole 2214 is located near the connection point of the adjacent second flange 2213, that is, near the corner of the second body 2131. The second column 2331 connects the adjacent second flange 2213 by passing the bolt through the second mounting hole 2214. In some embodiments, the second column 2331 and the second flange 2213 are connected by welding. By welding the second column 2331 to the adjacent second flange 2213, the second column 2331 can be fixedly connected to the second flange 2213. Thus, by providing the second mounting hole 2214, the second column 2331 can be connected to the second folded edge 2213, thereby fixing the second column 2331 and the second folded edge 2213 without the need for other connecting parts, saving costs.
[0071] Two adjacent second air guide rings 213 are connected by a second connecting part 222. For example, the air conditioner 1000 includes a fastener 300, and the third fold 2221 is provided with a positioning hole 2222. The positioning hole 2222 can be set at any position on the third fold 2221, and the positioning holes 2222 on adjacent third folds 2221 can be arranged opposite to each other, so that the fastener 300 can pass through the positioning hole 2222, so that the adjacent third folds 2221 can be fixedly connected, thereby fixing the two second air guide rings 213. In this way, by using the fastener 300 to pass through the positioning hole 2222, the adjacent third folds 2221 can be fixed, thereby strengthening the structural strength between the adjacent second air guide rings 213.
[0072] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, the air conditioner 1000 includes at least one condenser 400, the air outlet structure 200 includes a connecting plate 240, one side of each condenser 400 is connected to a second column 2331, and one side of adjacent condensers 400 is connected via the connecting plate 240, which is configured to connect to and support adjacent second air guide rings 213.
[0073] Thus, by connecting the adjacent condenser 400 and the second air guide ring 213 with the connecting plate 240, the condenser 400 can be fixed and the second air guide ring 213 can be supported at the same time, thereby reducing the first connecting part 221 and saving costs.
[0074] Specifically, the air conditioner 1000 also includes a condenser 400, which condenses the high-temperature refrigerant, releasing its heat, and an outdoor fan 100 blows the heat out to the outdoor environment. The condenser 400 can be fixed to the air outlet structure 200. For example, the air outlet structure 200 includes a connecting plate 240, which can connect one side of an adjacent condenser 400 and an adjacent second air guide ring 213 by welding or bolting. The other side of the condenser 400 can be connected to a second column 2331 by welding or bolting, so that the connecting plate 240 can support the adjacent second air guide ring 213.
[0075] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, the air outlet structure 200 includes an annular ring 250, which is connected to the air guide ring 210 and protrudes from the end face of the air guide ring 210 in the air outlet direction. The annular ring 250 forms an air outlet hole 211, and the outdoor fan 100 is disposed inside the annular ring 250.
[0076] Thus, by setting an annular ring 250 on the air guide ring 210, the outdoor fan 100 is placed inside the annular ring 250, thereby providing the outdoor fan 100 with an installation structure and an air outlet 211.
[0077] Specifically, the air guide ring 210 includes an annular ring 250, which can be used to fix the air outlet grille 10 of the outdoor fan 100. The annular ring 250 can connect to the air guide ring 210 and protrude from the end face of the air guide ring 210 in the air outlet direction. That is, the annular ring 250 can connect to the first body 2121 or the second body 2131 and protrude from the end face of the first body 2121 or the second body 2131 in the air outlet direction, and can form an air outlet 211, allowing the outdoor fan 100 to be installed within the annular ring 250. Thus, by providing the annular ring 250 on the air guide ring 210, the outdoor fan 100 is installed within the annular ring 250, thereby providing the outdoor fan 100 with an installation structure and an air outlet 211. In some embodiments, the annular ring 250 includes a first annular ring 252 and a second annular ring 253. In the case where the air conditioner 1000 includes a single outdoor fan 100, the first annular ring 252 can be connected to the first body 2121 and protrude from the end face of the first body 2121 in the air outlet direction; in the case where the air conditioner 1000 includes multiple outdoor fans 100, the second annular ring 253 can be connected to the second body 2131 and protrude from the end face of the second body 2131 in the air outlet direction.
[0078] For example, by providing fixing holes 251 on the annular ring 250, the air outlet grille 10 is connected to the annular ring 250 by bolts passing through the fixing holes 251. Thus, by providing fixing holes 251 on the annular ring 250, an installation position for the air outlet grille 10 is provided, allowing the air outlet grille 10 to be fixed. In some embodiments, the air outlet grille 10 can be connected to the annular ring 250 by welding.
[0079] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, the bracket 230 includes at least one fixing frame 234, each fixing frame 234 being disposed on one side of a corresponding air guide ring 210, and the outdoor fan 100 being fixed on the fixing frame 234.
[0080] Thus, by setting up the fixing frame 234 to connect the air guide ring 210 to the fixing frame 234, an installation position can be provided for the outdoor fan 100, so that the outdoor unit can be fixed.
[0081] Specifically, the bracket 230 includes a fixing frame 234. The number of fixing frames 234 is not limited here. Multiple fixing frames 234 can be connected to the side of the air guide ring 210 facing away from the external environment, thereby providing an installation position for the outdoor fan 100, allowing the outdoor fan 100 to be fixed on the fixing frame 234. For example, the outdoor fan 100 includes a motor 20 and a fan blade 30. The motor 20 and the fan blade 30 can be connected to the fixing frame 234 respectively by welding or bolting. Thus, by connecting both the motor 20 and the fan blade 30 to the fixing frame 234, the motor 20 and the fan blade 30 can be fixed in place.
