[0045] Reference Figures 1-9 This is an embodiment of the air outlet panel assembly of the present invention, used in a duct air conditioner, and aims to solve the problems of traditional air outlet panels being prone to dust accumulation and inconvenient to clean.

[0046] The air outlet panel assembly includes a panel body 100, a sway vane 200, a panel cover 300, and a motor assembly 400.

[0047] The panel body 100 is the main supporting structure of the air outlet panel assembly and is typically made of materials such as plastic or metal. An air outlet 110 is provided on the panel body 100 to deliver regulated air from inside the ducted air conditioner into the room. In this embodiment, the air outlet 110 is rectangular, but it can be designed in other shapes, such as circular or elliptical, depending on actual needs. At one end of the air outlet 110, specifically on the short side of the rectangular air outlet 110, a notch 120 is provided on the panel body 100. This notch 120 is used for installing and removing the oscillating blade 200 and accommodating a portion of the motor assembly 400. In this embodiment, the notch 120 is rectangular, and its height is equal to the height of the air outlet 110.

[0048] The oscillating blade 200 is oscillatingly mounted at the air outlet 110. Its main function is to change the direction of airflow, disperse the airflow, reduce the feeling of direct blowing, and improve the comfort of air delivery. The oscillating blade 200 is usually made of lightweight materials such as plastic or metal to reduce its oscillation inertia. In this embodiment, the oscillating blade 200 has a thin sheet structure, and there are two oscillating blades 200 arranged in parallel. They are connected to the panel body 100 through a rotating shaft and can oscillate up and down around the rotating shaft. One end of the oscillating blade 200, that is, the end near the notch 120, is provided with a mounting hole 210. This mounting hole 210 is used to connect to the rotating shaft of the motor assembly 400, thereby realizing the oscillation of the oscillating blade 200.

[0049] The panel cover 300 is detachably installed on the notch 120 on the panel body 100. The function of the panel cover 300 is to cover the notch 120, ensure the overall aesthetics of the air outlet panel, and reduce the possibility of dust entering the air duct unit through the notch 120.

[0050] In this embodiment, the panel cover 300 is connected to the panel body 100 by a snap-fit ​​structure, allowing the user to easily disassemble and install it without using any tools.

[0051] The motor assembly 400 is located on the rear side of the panel cover 300. The motor assembly 400 includes a motor bracket 410 and a first motor 420.

[0052] The first motor 420 is used to drive the oscillating blade 200 to swing up and down. The first motor 420 can be a small DC motor or a stepper motor. Specifically, the shaft 421 of the first motor extends into the mounting hole 210 at one end of the oscillating blade 200, and drives the oscillating blade 200 to swing up and down by rotation. In this embodiment, two first motors 420 are provided, which drive two oscillating blades 200 to swing respectively.

[0053] The motor bracket 410 is used to fix the first motor 420. The motor bracket 410 and the panel body 100 are slidably connected by a slide rail 130 or a slide groove, so that the motor bracket 410 can slide a certain distance along the panel body 100.

[0054] Working principle and disassembly process:

[0055] During normal operation, the motor bracket 410 is in its initial position, and the shaft 421 of the first motor is firmly inserted into the mounting hole 210 of the sway vane 200. When the first motor 420 is running, it drives the sway vane 200 to swing up and down through the shaft, thereby achieving airflow diffusion.

[0056] When the oscillating blade 200 needs cleaning, the user first removes the panel cover 300 from the panel body 100. Then, the user slides the motor bracket 410 along the slide rail 130 or groove on the panel body 100, moving it away from the oscillating blade 200. When the motor bracket 410 slides to the predetermined position, the shaft 421 of the first motor will completely disengage from the mounting hole 210 of the oscillating blade 200. At this point, gently bending the oscillating blade 200 allows it to be removed from the panel body 100 for cleaning. After cleaning, the user simply reinstalls the oscillating blade 200 onto the panel body 100, slides the motor bracket 410 back to its original position, and reinstalls the panel cover 300.

[0057] The aforementioned door panel assembly, by setting a notch 120 on the panel body 100 and using a detachable panel cover 300 and a sliding motor assembly 400, enables convenient disassembly and installation of the sway blades 200, solves the problem of difficult cleaning of traditional air outlet panels, facilitates user maintenance and upkeep, and improves the user experience.

[0058] In this embodiment, the air outlet panel assembly also includes a vertical oscillating blade assembly 500, which further enhances the comfort and uniformity of the airflow. The vertical oscillating blade assembly 500 is mounted on the panel body 100 and located behind the horizontal oscillating blade 200 (i.e., the air inlet side). Its main function is to add left-right airflow adjustment on top of the up-and-down oscillation of the horizontal oscillating blade 200, thereby achieving more comprehensive three-dimensional airflow and further improving the uniformity and comfort of the airflow.

[0059] Specifically, such as Figure 9 The vertical oscillating blade assembly 500 specifically includes a vertical oscillating blade mounting plate 510, several vertical oscillating blades 520, and a connecting rod 530.

[0060] The oscillating blade mounting plate 510 is a supporting structure for the oscillating blade assembly 500. The oscillating blade mounting plate 510 has a mounting portion 511; it can be fixed to the panel body 100 by screws or other detachable connection methods. This detachable design facilitates the installation, disassembly, and maintenance of the oscillating blade assembly 500. The oscillating blade mounting plate 510 is provided with several mounting holes or slots for mounting the oscillating blades 520.

[0061] Several vertical swing blades 520 are mounted on a vertical swing blade mounting plate 510, which can swing left and right. The vertical swing blades 520 are typically made of lightweight materials to reduce swing inertia. In this embodiment, the vertical swing blades 520 are multiple parallel thin-plate structures. Each vertical swing blade 520 is connected to the vertical swing blade mounting plate 510 via a pivot or snap-fit, and can swing left and right around the pivot or snap-fit. The number of vertical swing blades 520 can be adjusted according to actual needs.

[0062] Link 530 is used to connect several vertical oscillating blades 520 so that they can oscillate synchronously. The vertical oscillating blades 520 can be connected to link 530 via connectors (such as clips, pins, etc.).

[0063] The second motor 540 is fixed on the motor bracket 410, and its shaft is connected to the connecting rod 530 to drive the vertical oscillating blade assembly 500 to swing left and right. In this embodiment, the second motor 540 is also a small DC motor or a stepper motor. The shaft of the second motor 540 can be connected to the connecting rod 530 by a snap-fit ​​or other detachable connection method, which facilitates the disassembly and maintenance of the vertical oscillating blade assembly 500.

[0064] When cleaning the vertical oscillating blade assembly 500, the user first removes the panel cover 300 and the horizontal oscillating blade 200. Then, the user can unscrew the screws securing the vertical oscillating blade mounting plate 510 and remove it from the panel body 100. Because the connecting rod 530 and the vertical oscillating blade 520, as well as the second motor 540 shaft and the connecting rod 530, are detachably connected, the user can easily remove all the vertical oscillating blades 520 along with the mounting plate and connecting rod 530 for cleaning. After cleaning, the user can reassemble the vertical oscillating blades 520, connecting rod 530, and mounting plate from outside the machine, then reinstall the entire vertical oscillating blade assembly 500 back onto the panel body 100, and finally install the horizontal oscillating blade 200 and the panel cover 300.

[0065] In this embodiment, as Figure 6 As shown, the connecting rod 530 is connected to the shaft of the second motor 540 via a crank-connecting rod mechanism 550, and the crank-connecting rod mechanism 550 is detachably connected to the connecting rod 530.

[0066] Specifically, the crank-connecting rod mechanism 550 includes a crank and a crank-connecting rod. One end of the crank is connected to the shaft of the second motor 540, and the other end is connected to the crank-connecting rod. When the second motor 540 rotates, the crank also rotates, converting the motor's rotational motion into linear reciprocating motion. The crank-connecting rod and the connecting rod 530 are rotatably connected, and the crank-connecting rod and the connecting rod 530 are detachably connected, for example, by a snap-fit ​​connection, to facilitate the disassembly and maintenance of the oscillating blade assembly 500.

[0067] The connecting rod 530 is connected to the second motor 540 through the crank-connecting rod mechanism 550, which can effectively convert the rotational motion of the motor into the reciprocating oscillation of the vertical oscillating blade 520.

[0068] In this embodiment, to prevent the motor assembly 400 from moving left and right, a limiting member 320 is provided on the back of the panel cover 300. When the motor bracket 410 is in its initial position, the limiting member 320 abuts against the motor bracket 410, restricting the sliding of the motor assembly 400. The limiting member 320 can take various forms, such as a protruding structure integrated with the panel cover 300, or a stop, etc.

[0069] In this embodiment, the panel cover 300 and the panel body 100 are connected by a snap-fit ​​structure. The snap-fit ​​structure can take various forms, such as elastic snaps or hooks. In this embodiment, the panel cover 300 is provided with multiple snaps 310, which can be engaged and fixed with the edge of the notch 120. The number of snaps 310 can be adjusted according to actual needs to ensure a secure connection.

[0070] The snap-fit ​​connection allows for quick disassembly and installation of the panel cover 300 without the need for any tools, making it convenient for users to clean and maintain.

[0071] In this embodiment, as Figure 8 As shown, the motor bracket 410 includes a horizontal plate portion 411 and a vertical plate portion 412 connected to each other.

[0072] The horizontal plate 411 is slidably connected to the panel body 100, for example, by means of a slide rail 130 or a slide groove.

[0073] The vertical plate 412 is connected to the horizontal plate 411. The vertical plate 412 is provided with a motor fixing part 4122 for fixing the first motor 420. The vertical plate 412 is provided with a through hole 4121 opposite to the mounting hole 210 on the horizontal sway blade 200 for the shaft 421 of the first motor to pass through.

[0074] The motor bracket 410 with this structure can not only firmly fix the motor, but also achieve smooth sliding, and facilitate the disassembly of the sway blade 200.

[0075] In this embodiment, the panel body 100 is provided with a slide rail 130. When the motor bracket 410 slides to a predetermined position, the vertical plate 412 abuts against the slide rail 130 to prevent the motor bracket 410 from sliding excessively.

[0076] In this embodiment, the oscillating blade 200 has a plurality of micro-holes 220, which are used to disperse the airflow, reduce the feeling of direct blowing, and achieve a gentle "breeze" effect. The diameter, number, and arrangement of the micro-holes 220 can be adjusted according to actual needs to achieve the best air delivery effect.

[0077] This utility model also includes a ducted air conditioner, wherein the aforementioned air outlet panel assembly is located at the air outlet of the ducted air conditioner, which can effectively solve the problems of easy dust accumulation and inconvenient cleaning of the air outlet panel of traditional ducted air conditioners, thereby improving the user experience and the reliability of the equipment.

[0078] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
