Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the air outlet panel of an indoor air conditioning unit. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, to ensure a clean and aesthetically pleasing room, air conditioner indoor units are often concealed within the ceiling (sometimes called a suspended ceiling) during renovations, with only a portion of the air outlet panel protruding from the ceiling.

[0003] In the aforementioned indoor air conditioning units, some air outlet panels have an air outlet frame forming the air outlet and horizontal blades that can open and close the air outlet. In this case, when the horizontal blades open the air outlet, a portion of the horizontal blades protrudes outward from the air outlet. Therefore, if condensation occurs on the horizontal blades due to cooling operation, the condensate may drip onto the walls and floors of the room, resulting in a poor user experience.

[0004] Furthermore, in the aforementioned indoor air conditioning units, grille panels with horizontally extending grille strips are sometimes installed on both sides of the air outlet. In this case, the appearance of the air outlet is inconsistent with the appearance of the grille panel, resulting in insufficient aesthetics. Utility Model Content

[0005] This utility model was made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and its purpose is to provide an air outlet panel for an air conditioner indoor unit that helps to prevent condensation on the horizontal blades from dripping into the air-conditioned space, and also helps to improve aesthetics and achieve miniaturization.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides an air outlet panel for an indoor air conditioning unit, having an air outlet frame that forms an air duct with an air outlet for airflow. Horizontal blades and vertical blades are arranged within the air duct. The horizontal blades are downstream of the vertical blades in the airflow direction. Multiple grille strips are horizontally arranged across the air outlet, and these grille strips are downstream of the horizontal blades in the airflow direction. A recess is provided downstream of the vertical blades in the airflow direction. At least one recess corresponds to one horizontal blade and one grille strip. When the horizontal blade corresponding to the recess is in a horizontal position, one side extends into the recess, and the other side is aligned with the grille strip.

[0007] Here, a "recess" refers to a portion that is recessed towards the upstream side of the airflow direction from the vertical line at the downstream edge of the blade. "Recess corresponding to the grid bar" means that when the grid bar is projected horizontally towards the recess, at least a portion of the grid bar's projection falls within the recess. "Extending in" means that the edge of the horizontal blade is closer to the upstream side of the airflow direction than the vertical line at the downstream edge of the blade, or is on that vertical line (i.e., overlaps with it). "Aligned" means that when a horizontal blade in a horizontal position is projected horizontally towards the grid bar, at least a portion of the horizontal blade's projection falls on the grid bar.

[0008] According to the air outlet panel of the air conditioner indoor unit of this utility model, the horizontal blades are set inside the air duct formed by the air outlet frame, meaning that the horizontal blades will not protrude from the air outlet when rotating. Therefore, even if condensation occurs on the horizontal blades due to cooling operation, it can prevent condensate droplets from falling onto the walls and floors of the room. Furthermore, multiple grille strips are horizontally arranged across the air outlet, that is, grille strips are arranged downstream of the horizontal blades. Therefore, even if grille panels with horizontally extending grille strips are arranged on both sides of the air outlet, it can be ensured that the appearance of the air outlet is consistent with the appearance of the grille panels, improving aesthetics. In addition, the vertical blades have recesses into which the horizontal blades extend and which correspond to at least part of the horizontal blades and grille strips. The recessed section ensures a compact configuration of vertical and horizontal blades, reducing panel depth and achieving miniaturization. This aligns with current user demands for reduced ceiling depth. While incorporating horizontal and vertical blades within the air outlet frame reduces the risk of condensation overflowing into the room, it increases the overall depth of the air outlet frame. This leads to a greater ceiling depth for the indoor unit and air outlet panel, making the room feel cramped. By using a recessed section, horizontal blades, and grille strips in a corresponding configuration, the space required for these elements can be minimized, achieving a compact design and reducing the overall depth of the air outlet panel. This meets current user needs while ensuring effective airflow for enhanced comfort and performance in the user's indoor environment.

[0009] Furthermore, in the air outlet panel of the air conditioner indoor unit of this utility model, a connecting rod for driving the vertical blades is preferably provided on the air outlet frame, and the recessed part corresponding to the grille strip that is offset from the center of the air outlet in the vertical direction is provided with a notch for installing the connecting rod.

[0010] According to the present invention, the connecting rod of the air outlet panel of the indoor unit of the air conditioner avoids the position of the large air volume in the vertical direction of the air outlet to avoid wind obstruction.

[0011] Furthermore, in the air outlet panel of the air conditioner indoor unit of this utility model, it is preferable that the maximum swing angle of the horizontal blades relative to the center line of the air outlet in the vertical direction is more than 30°.

[0012] Furthermore, in the air outlet panel of the indoor unit of the air conditioner of this utility model, preferably at least a portion of the inner surface of the recess is an arc shape centered on the rotation axis of the horizontal blade.

[0013] According to the air outlet panel of the indoor unit of the air conditioner of this utility model, it can ensure that the vertical blades and horizontal blades are compactly configured at each rotation position of the horizontal blades, and improve the guiding effect of the horizontal blades on the airflow, ensuring that the airflow is smoothly discharged.

[0014] Furthermore, in the air outlet panel of the indoor unit of the air conditioner of this utility model, the minimum gap between the horizontal blade and the vertical blade is preferably 1mm to 10mm, and the minimum gap between the horizontal blade and the grille strip is 1mm to 30mm.

[0015] The air outlet panel of the indoor unit of the air conditioner according to this utility model can ensure a compact configuration of vertical and horizontal blades, and can ensure the guiding effect of the grille strip on the airflow blown out from the air outlet.

[0016] Furthermore, in the air outlet panel of the indoor unit of the air conditioner of this utility model, a protrusion is preferably provided on at least one of the upper and lower walls of the air duct, and in the direction of airflow, the downstream end of the protrusion is further downstream than the center position of the horizontal blade.

[0017] According to the present invention, the air outlet panel of the indoor unit of the air conditioner can use the protrusion to prevent condensation generated on the upstream side of the air duct from being blown out of the air outlet.

[0018] Furthermore, in the air outlet panel of the indoor unit of the air conditioner of this utility model, a groove is preferably provided on the upper surface of the horizontal blade.

[0019] According to the present invention, the air outlet panel of the indoor unit of the air conditioner can use the groove of the horizontal blade to retain condensation and prevent the condensation from being blown out of the air outlet.

[0020] Furthermore, in the air outlet panel of the indoor unit of the air conditioner of this utility model, preferably, a sealing material is affixed to at least one of the upper and lower walls of the air duct at a position corresponding to the horizontal blade.

[0021] According to the air outlet panel of the indoor unit of the air conditioner of this utility model, condensation can be suppressed at the positions corresponding to the horizontal blades on the upper and lower walls of the air duct, and the condensation can be prevented from being blown out of the air outlet.

[0022] Furthermore, in the air outlet panel of the indoor unit of the air conditioner of this utility model, it is preferable that flared portions are formed on the left and right walls of the air duct, respectively, and the distance between the left and right walls at the flared portions is greater as it moves downstream in the direction of airflow.

[0023] According to the air outlet panel of the indoor unit of the air conditioner of this utility model, the flared part can improve the air volume on the left and right walls, thereby improving condensation.

[0024] Furthermore, in the air outlet panel of the air conditioner indoor unit of this utility model, the air outlet frame preferably has an upper plate and a lower plate located on the upper and lower sides of the air duct, and at least one of the upper plate and the lower plate has an elongated hole extending parallel to the grille strip near the air outlet.

[0025] According to the present invention, the air outlet panel of the indoor unit of the air conditioner can use the elongated holes in the upper and lower plates to block the heat conduction path and alleviate the risk of condensation.

[0026] Furthermore, in the air outlet panel of the indoor unit of the air conditioner of this utility model, the air outlet frame preferably has an upper plate and a lower plate located on the upper and lower sides of the air duct, and at least one of the upper plate and the lower plate is provided with a water receiving structure and a flow guiding structure.

[0027] According to the present invention, the air outlet panel of the indoor unit of the air conditioner can collect condensed water using a water-receiving structure and guide the condensed water toward the side wall or upstream of the air outlet frame using a flow-guiding structure.

[0028] Furthermore, in the air outlet panel of the indoor unit of the air conditioner of this utility model, preferably, the edges on both sides of the horizontal blade in the width direction are provided with horizontal blade cutouts at the ends near the side wall of the air duct.

[0029] According to the air outlet panel of the indoor unit of the air conditioner of this utility model, the distance between the ends of the two sides of the horizontal blades near the side wall of the air duct in the width direction and the side wall can be increased, thereby increasing the air volume at the side wall and alleviating condensation at the side wall.

[0030] Furthermore, in the air outlet panel of the air conditioner indoor unit of this utility model, the air outlet frame preferably has an upper plate and a lower plate located on the upper and lower sides of the air duct, a separator is provided between the upper plate and the lower plate to separate the air outlet, and a horizontal blade cutout is formed on the horizontal blade near the separator.

[0031] According to the air outlet panel of the indoor unit of the air conditioner of this utility model, the distance between the part of the horizontal blades near the separator and the separator can be increased, thereby increasing the air volume at the separator and thus alleviating condensation at the separator.

[0032] Furthermore, in the air outlet panel of the indoor unit of this utility model, preferably, the edge of the vertical blade with the recessed portion has a vertical blade cutout at least on one side in the vertical direction relative to at least one of the recessed portions. When the maximum depth of the vertical blade cutout is d1 and the maximum depth of the recessed portion is d2, the relationship d1 > d2 is satisfied. Alternatively, the edge of the vertical blade with the recessed portion has a vertical blade cutout at at least on one side in the vertical direction relative to at least one of the recessed portions, and the vertical blade cutout is formed from the center of the vertical blade in the vertical direction or at a position closer to the at least one side than the center in the vertical direction.

[0033] According to the air outlet panel of the indoor unit of the air conditioner of this utility model, when the horizontal blades swing downward or upward to the maximum angle, the distance between the vertical blades and the horizontal blades can be increased, so that the airflow between the vertical blades and the horizontal blades can flow smoothly, reduce resistance, and avoid abnormal noise caused by turbulence.

[0034] (Utility Model Effect)

[0035] According to this invention, the horizontal blades are positioned within the air duct formed by the air outlet frame, meaning that the horizontal blades will not protrude from the air outlet when rotating. Therefore, even if condensation occurs on the horizontal blades due to cooling operation, it can prevent condensate droplets from falling onto the walls and floors of the room. Furthermore, multiple grille strips are horizontally arranged across the air outlet, specifically downstream of the horizontal blades. Therefore, even with grille panels featuring horizontally extending grille strips on both sides of the air outlet, the appearance of the air outlet matches the appearance of the grille panels, improving aesthetics. Additionally, the vertical blades have recesses into which the horizontal blades extend and which correspond to at least a portion of the horizontal blades and the grille strips. This design ensures a compact configuration of vertical and horizontal blades, reducing panel depth and achieving miniaturization. This aligns with current user demands for reduced ceiling depth. While incorporating horizontal and vertical blades within the air outlet frame reduces the risk of condensation overflowing into the room, it increases the overall depth of the air outlet frame. This leads to a greater ceiling depth for the indoor unit and air outlet panel, making the room feel cramped. Therefore, by using recessed sections, horizontal blades, and grille strips in a corresponding configuration, the space required for these three elements can be minimized, achieving a compact design and reducing the overall depth of the air outlet panel. This meets current user needs while ensuring effective airflow for enhanced comfort and performance in the user's indoor environment. Attached Figure Description

[0104] YG Wardrobe Detailed Implementation

[0105] Below, in conjunction with Figures 1 to 13 The air outlet panel of the indoor unit of the air conditioner according to the present invention will be described.

[0106] For ease of explanation, the three mutually orthogonal directions are designated as X, Y, and Z. One side of the X direction is designated as X1, and the other side as X2. One side of the Y direction is designated as Y1, and the other side as Y2. One side of the Z direction is designated as Z1, and the other side as Z2.

[0107] like Figure 1 As shown, the air outlet panel 1 of the indoor unit of the air conditioner in this embodiment of the present invention is usually installed on the ceiling DD of the room along with the main body ZT of the indoor unit of the air conditioner, which has a heat exchanger, a fan, etc. (in the example shown, it is adjacent to the wardrobe YG, but it is not limited to this, for example, there may be no wardrobe YG). When the main body ZT of the indoor unit of the air conditioner is running, the airflow processed by the main body ZT of the indoor unit of the air conditioner is blown out into the room through the air outlet panel 1 of the indoor unit of the air conditioner (refer to the arrow in the figure).

[0108] (The overall structure of the air outlet panel of the indoor unit of the air conditioner)

[0109] like Figures 2 to 6As shown, the air outlet panel 1 of the indoor unit of the air conditioner has an air outlet frame 10, which has an air duct forming an air outlet CF for airflow. A horizontal blade 41 and a vertical blade 42 are arranged within this air duct. The horizontal blade 41 is downstream of the vertical blade 42 in the airflow direction (in the illustrated example, aligned with the Y direction) (in the illustrated example, it is on the Y1 direction side). Multiple grille strips 30 are horizontally arranged across the air outlet CF (in the illustrated example, along the X direction) (i.e., the grille strips 30 are downstream of the horizontal blade 41 in the airflow direction). At least one recess AX is provided downstream of the vertical blade 42 in the airflow direction. Each recess AX corresponds to one horizontal blade 41 and one grille strip 30. The horizontal blade 41 corresponding to the recess AX is located in a horizontal position (i.e., the thickness direction of the horizontal blade 41 is basically aligned with the Z direction, and it is also the position where the horizontal blade 41 extends approximately parallel to the centerline ZX of the air outlet CF, as shown in the figure). Figure 5A When the horizontal blade 41 extends into the recess AX on one side, the other side is aligned with the grid bar 30 (that is, in the Z direction, the center of the grid bar 30, the center of the horizontal blade 41, and the center of the recess AX are approximately on the same straight line, see reference). Figure 5A In the Z direction, the number of recessed portions AX corresponds to the number of horizontal blades 41 and grid strips 30.

[0110] Here, the grille bar 30 does not rotate.

[0111] In addition, such as Figure 4 As shown, the air outlet panel 1 of the indoor unit of the air conditioner also has electrical components 50, which are disposed on both sides of the air outlet frame 10 in the X direction (in Figure 3 (Only the electrical components on one side in the X direction are shown).

[0112] In addition, such as Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the air outlet panel 1 of the indoor unit of the air conditioner also has a decorative cover 60, which is respectively disposed on both sides of the air outlet frame 10 in the X direction and covers the electrical components 50.

[0113] In addition, such as Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the air outlet panel 1 of the indoor unit of the air conditioner also has a separator 70, which separates the air outlet CF in the X direction.

[0114] In addition, such as Figure 4 As shown, the air outlet panel 1 of the indoor unit of the air conditioner also has a sealing edge 80, which is installed on two sides in the X direction of the air outlet frame 10.

[0115] In addition, such as Figure 4 As shown, the air outlet panel 1 of the indoor unit of the air conditioner also has a connecting rod 90, which is set on the air outlet frame 10 and is used to drive the vertical blades 42.

[0116] (Structure of the air outlet frame)

[0117] As described above, the air outlet frame 10 forms an air duct with an air outlet CF for airflow to be blown out.

[0118] Here, as Figure 2 As shown, the air outlet CF is roughly a rectangle with its long side parallel to the X direction and its short side parallel to the Z direction.

[0119] In addition, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the air outlet frame 10 has an upper plate 11, a lower plate 12, a left side plate 13, and a right side plate 14. The upper plate 11, lower plate 12, left side plate 13, and right side plate 14 are joined together to form an air duct, the downstream end of which constitutes the air outlet CF. Specifically, the two sides of the upper plate 11 in the X direction are fixed to the left side plate 13 and the right side plate 14 respectively by screws, and the two sides of the lower plate 12 in the X direction are also fixed to the left side plate 13 and the right side plate 14 respectively by screws.

[0120] In addition, such as Figure 5A As shown, at least one of the upper and lower walls of the air duct formed by the air outlet frame 10 is provided with a protrusion TQ. In the airflow direction, the downstream end of the protrusion TQ (the end on the Y1 direction side in the illustrated example) is further downstream than the center position of the horizontal blade 41 (the center in the X direction in the illustrated example). The protrusion TQ can extend continuously or discontinuously in the X direction. The protrusion TQ can span the air outlet CF in the X direction or it can be only a part of the air outlet CF in the X direction.

[0121] In addition, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5A As shown, the upper plate 11 is located on the Z1 direction side of the air outlet CF and extends along the X direction. Specifically, the upper plate 11 includes: an upper plate body 111, which is made of metal; an upper air guide 112, which is made of resin and covers the portion of the upper plate body 111 near the air outlet CF from the inside of the air duct; and an upper sealing material 113, which covers the upper plate body 111 and the upper air guide 112 from the inside of the air duct and is provided with a protrusion TQ. The upper plate body 111 has: a plate portion with its thickness direction aligned with the Z direction; and a flange that bends from the edge of the plate portion on the air outlet CF side toward a direction away from the center of the air outlet CF. The upper air guide 112 covers the flange of the upper plate body 111 and covers the portion of the plate portion of the upper plate body 111 near the air outlet CF. Figure 7A and Figure 7BAs shown, the upper plate body 111 preferably has an elongated hole CK extending in the X direction near the air outlet CF. Specifically, the preferred elongated hole CK includes: a first elongated hole CK1, which is disposed on the flange of the upper plate body 111; and a second elongated hole CK2, which is disposed on the aforementioned plate portion of the upper plate body 111 and intersects with the first elongated hole CK1. This increases the length of the cold air conduction path, alleviates condensation, and further reduces the risk of condensation at the air outlet.

[0122] In addition, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5A As shown, the lower plate 12 is located on the Z2 direction side of the air outlet CF and extends along the X direction. Specifically, the lower plate 12 includes: a lower plate body 121, which is made of metal; a lower air guide 122, which is made of resin and covers the portion of the lower plate body 121 near the air outlet CF from the inside of the air duct; and a lower sealing material 123, which covers the lower plate body 121 and the lower air guide 122 from the inside of the air duct and is provided with a protrusion TQ. The lower plate body 121 has: a plate portion with its thickness direction aligned with the Z direction; and a flange that bends from the edge of the plate portion on the air outlet CF side toward a direction away from the center of the air outlet CF. The lower air guide 122 covers the flange of the lower plate body 121 and covers the portion of the plate portion of the lower plate body 121 near the air outlet CF. Figure 7A and Figure 7B As shown, the lower plate body 121 preferably has an elongated hole extending in the X direction near the air outlet CF. Specifically, the preferred elongated hole includes: a first elongated hole CK1, which is disposed on the flange of the lower plate body 121; and a second elongated hole CK2, which is disposed on the aforementioned plate portion of the lower plate body 121 and intersects with the first elongated hole CK1. This increases the length of the cold air conduction path, alleviates condensation, and further reduces the risk of condensation at the air outlet.

[0123] In addition, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the left side panel 13 is located on the X1 direction side of the air outlet CF, extends along the Z direction, and is made of resin. Specifically, as... Figure 4 and Figure 8 As shown, the left side panel 13 includes: a frame portion 131 extending in the XZ plane; and a mounting wall 132 bent from the edge of the frame portion 131 in the X2 direction toward the Y2 direction. The frame portion 131 has an opening extending through in the Y direction. Near the junction of the frame portion 131 and the mounting wall 132, a latching portion KJ for engaging the grille strip 30 is provided, the latching portion KJ being formed by a recess opening toward the Y1 direction.

[0124] In addition, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the right side panel 14 is located on the X2 direction side of the air outlet CF, extends along the Z direction, and is made of resin. Specifically, similar to the left side panel 13, the right side panel 14 includes: a frame portion 141 extending in the XZ plane; and a mounting wall 142 that bends from the edge of the frame portion 141 on the X1 direction side toward the Y2 direction. The frame portion 141 has an opening extending through in the Y direction. Near the junction of the frame portion 141 and the mounting wall 142, a latching portion KJ for engaging the grille strip 30 is provided, the latching portion KJ being formed by a recess opening toward the Y1 direction.

[0125] (Structure of the grille bars)

[0126] As described above, the grille strip 30 horizontally spans the air outlet CF.

[0127] Here, as Figure 2 As shown, multiple grid bars 30 are arranged at intervals in the Z direction (four in the example shown, but not limited to this, and can be set appropriately as needed).

[0128] In addition, such as Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the two ends of the grille bar 30 in the X direction extend to the mounting wall 132 and the mounting wall 142.

[0129] In addition, such as Figure 5A , Figure 5B and Figure 6 As shown, the grid bar 30 is hollow and has a through hole extending along the X direction. The width of the grid bar 30 in the Z direction is greater than the thickness of the horizontal blade 41.

[0130] (Structure of horizontal blades)

[0131] As described above, the horizontal blades 41 are disposed within the air duct formed by the air outlet frame 10.

[0132] Here, as Figures 4 to 6As shown, the horizontal blade 41 extends along the X direction and is rotatably supported on the air outlet frame 10 about an axis extending along the X direction. Preferably, the maximum swing angle of the horizontal blade 41 in the Z direction relative to the centerline ZX of the air outlet CF (parallel to the horizontal plane in the illustrated example, but not limited to this; for example, perpendicular to the horizontal plane when the air outlet CF is facing downward) is 30° or more. For example, during operation, the horizontal blade 41 swings downward 60° relative to the horizontal position of 0°. It can also be configured such that when the horizontal blade 41 closes the air duct, it swings upward 45° relative to the horizontal position of 0°, thereby shielding the components inside the air outlet CF. Depending on the situation, it can also be configured such that when the horizontal blade 41 closes the air duct, it swings upward or downward 90° relative to the horizontal position of 0°, thereby further sealing the air outlet CF and preventing debris from entering the air outlet CF.

[0133] In addition, such as Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the horizontal blades 41 are divided into multiple groups in the X direction (four groups in the illustrated example, but not limited to this, and can be appropriately set as needed). Each group includes multiple horizontal blades 41 arranged along the Z direction (four in the illustrated example, but not limited to this, and can be appropriately set as needed). Adjacent horizontal blades 41 in the X direction are rotatably supported on the separator 70 through the connection between them. The X1 end of the horizontal blade 41 closest to the X1 direction is rotatably supported on the left side plate 13, and the X2 end of the horizontal blade 41 closest to the X2 direction is rotatably supported on the right side plate 14.

[0134] In addition, such as Figure 5A and Figure 9 As shown, a groove AC is provided on the upper surface of the horizontal blade 41. Preferably, the groove AC extends along the length direction of the horizontal blade 41 (the X direction in the illustrated example), and multiple grooves AC are provided at intervals along the width direction of the horizontal blade 41 (the direction orthogonal to the X direction in the illustrated example).

[0135] In addition, such as Figure 9 As shown, the axis of rotation of the horizontal blade 41 is located at the center of the width direction of the horizontal blade 41, but it can also be located at one end or the other end of the width direction of the horizontal blade 41. Figure 4 , Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the horizontal blades 41 have horizontal blade notches QK on both sides of their width direction near the sidewall of the air duct (in the illustrated example, the length and size of the horizontal blade notch QK on one side of the width direction and the horizontal blade notch QK on the other side of the width direction are different, but they can also be the same). Figure 4 and Figure 9As shown, a horizontal blade cutout QK is also formed on the horizontal blade 41 near the separator 70. Specifically, horizontal blade cutouts QK are provided on both sides of the horizontal blade 41 in the width direction near the separator 70 (in the example shown, the length and size of the horizontal blade cutout QK on one side in the width direction and the horizontal blade cutout QK on the other side in the width direction are different, but they can also be formed to be the same).

[0136] In addition, such as Figure 6 As shown, the horizontal blade 41 and the vertical blade 42 are separated by a gap, meaning that the horizontal blade 41 does not contact the vertical blade 42 when rotating. Figure 6 In this context, C1 represents a circle centered on the rotation axis of the horizontal blade 41 and passing through the end of the horizontal blade 41 that is farther from its rotation axis. Preferably, the minimum clearance d1 between the horizontal blade 41 and the vertical blade 42 is 1 mm to 10 mm.

[0137] In addition, such as Figure 6 As shown, the horizontal blade 41 is spaced apart from the grid strip 30, meaning that the horizontal blade 41 does not contact the grid strip 30 when rotating. Preferably, the minimum gap d2 between the horizontal blade 41 and the grid strip 30 is 1mm to 30mm, and more preferably, the minimum gap between the horizontal blade 41 and the grid strip 30 is 1mm to 20mm.

[0138] (Structure of vertical blades)

[0139] As described above, the vertical blades 42 are disposed within the air duct formed by the air outlet frame 10.

[0140] Here, as Figure 5A As shown, the vertical blade 42 is located closer to the inside of the air outlet frame 10 than the horizontal blade 41, extends along the Z direction, and is rotatably supported on the air outlet frame 10 about the axis extending along the Z direction.

[0141] In addition, such as Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the vertical blades 42 are divided into multiple groups in the X direction (four groups in the illustrated example, but not limited to this, and can be appropriately set as needed). Each group includes multiple (four in the illustrated example, but not limited to this, and can be appropriately set as needed) vertical blades 42 arranged along the X direction. The upper and lower ends of each group of vertical blades 42 are connected together by upper and lower connecting strips 43. The upper connecting strip 43 is detachably engaged with the end of the upper plate 11 opposite to the air outlet CF, and the lower connecting strip 43 is detachably engaged with the end of the lower plate 12 opposite to the air outlet CF.

[0142] In addition, such as Figure 5A As shown, the ends of the edges on both sides of the vertical blade 42 in the Z direction, on the Y2 direction side, are rotatably supported on the upper and lower connecting strips 43.

[0143] In addition, such as Figure 5A , Figure 6 and Figure 11 As shown, in the vertical blade 42, at least a portion of the inner surface of the recess AX is approximately arc-shaped with respect to the rotation axis of the horizontal blade 41. Specifically, when the thickness direction of the vertical blade 42 is aligned with the X direction, at least a portion of the inner surface of the recess AX is approximately arc-shaped with respect to the rotation axis of the horizontal blade 41. Figure 6 In this context, C2 represents the circle centered on the rotation axis of the horizontal blade 41 and passing through the arc-shaped inner surface of the recessed portion AX.

[0144] In addition, such as Figure 5A As shown, in the vertical blade 42, a notch AK is provided in the recess AX corresponding to the grille strip 30 (in the illustrated example, the second grille strip 30 from the Z1 direction) that is offset from the center of the air outlet CF, for mounting the connecting rod 90. Specifically, the notch AK is connected to the bottom of the recess AX. A shaft is provided at the notch AK, through which the vertical blade 42 is rotatably connected to the connecting rod 90. The multiple vertical blades 42 are driven to rotate by the drive mechanism 52 described below via the connecting rod 90, which is formed by splicing multiple segments.

[0145] Furthermore, the vertical blade 42 can rotate within a range of 0 to ±90° relative to a midpoint perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the horizontal blade 41 (in the illustrated example, this is the position where the thickness direction of the vertical blade 42 is aligned with the X direction). Thus, when the vertical blade 40 rotates 90° relative to the midpoint, the vertical blade 42 can close the air duct, preventing foreign objects such as dust and small animals from entering the interior (in the illustrated example, this is the position closer to the Y2 direction than the vertical blade 42).

[0146] (Structure of electrical components)

[0147] As described above, electrical components 50 are respectively disposed on both sides of the air outlet frame 10 in the X direction.

[0148] Here, as Figure 4 As shown, the electrical component 50 is disposed on the mounting wall 132 of the left side plate 13 and the mounting wall 142 of the right side plate 14. Specifically, the electrical component 50 is disposed on the X1 direction side of the mounting wall 132 and on the X2 direction side of the mounting wall 142.

[0149] In addition, such as Figure 4As shown, the electrical component 50 includes a mounting platform 51 and a drive mechanism 52 mounted on the mounting platform 51. The mounting platform 51 is fixed to, for example, a mounting wall 132 or a mounting wall 142. The drive mechanism 52 includes multiple motors and gear sets that transmit the driving force of the motors. The multiple motors rotate horizontally with blades 41 and vertically with blades 42, respectively. Specifically, the horizontal blades 41 can be divided into multiple groups (multiple groups in the Z direction), each group of horizontal blades 41 is controlled and operated independently, that is, multiple groups of horizontal blades 41 are driven and controlled by motors respectively, thereby guiding the airflow to different angles and positions. Similarly, the vertical blades 42 can also be divided into multiple groups (multiple groups in the X direction), and their angles are controlled by individual motors, thereby guiding the airflow in different directions, realizing diverse airflow control, diversifying indoor airflow, and meeting the needs of different users, such as directing the airflow towards or away from people, or delivering air to corresponding areas by cooperating with human detection sensors, or achieving an enveloping airflow pattern by oriented in different directions (that is, some groups of horizontal blades 41 are set to face upwards, and other groups are set to face downwards, forming an enveloping airflow pattern in the vertical direction in the room; or, some groups of vertical blades 42 face one side in the left and right direction, and other groups face the other side in the left and right direction, achieving an enveloping airflow pattern in the left and right direction in the room; of course, both can be combined).

[0150] (Structure of the decorative cover)

[0151] As described above, decorative covers 60 are respectively disposed on both sides of the air outlet frame 10 in the X direction.

[0152] Here, as Figure 4 As shown, the decorative cover 60 is detachable relative to the air outlet frame 10. Specifically, the decorative cover 60 is assembled to, for example, the left side panel 13 and the right side panel 14 of the air outlet frame 10 via a plug-in structure. Figure 12 and Figure 13As shown, the decorative cover 60 has a plate-shaped body 61 that extends substantially in the XZ plane and a claw 63 provided on the back of the plate-shaped body 61. In the assembled state, the plate-shaped body abuts against the upper plate 11 and lower plate 12 of the air outlet frame 10 in the Z direction, respectively, and the claw engages with the plate-shaped body to clamp the left side plate 13 and right side plate 14 (frame portion 131 and frame portion 141 in the illustrated example). In the installed state, the decorative cover 60 covers the electrical components 50 from the front side (Y1 direction side in the illustrated example) of the air outlet panel 1 of the indoor air conditioner unit, thereby ensuring the aesthetics of the outer surface portion of the air outlet panel 1 of the indoor air conditioner unit exposed through an opening such as the ceiling. On the other hand, when the decorative cover 60 is removed, the electrical components 50 can be exposed for maintenance of the electrical components 50 and electrical wiring. In the two decorative covers 60, one of the decorative covers (such as the decorative cover on the X1 side in the figure) can also be used as a fresh air inlet. The fresh air component or fresh air duct is connected to the rear side. Thus, it is not necessary to install a fresh air panel separately. The structure of the air outlet panel 1 of the indoor unit of the air conditioner can be directly utilized to simplify the installation of the fresh air inlet and integrate the fresh air inlet into the air outlet panel 1 of the indoor unit of the air conditioner.

[0153] In addition, such as Figure 2 and Figure 12 As shown, raised ribs 62 arranged at intervals in the Z direction are formed on the front surface of the decorative cover 60, and the raised ribs 62 are formed at positions corresponding to the grille strip 30. Specifically, a plurality of raised ribs 62 extending in the X direction and evenly spaced in the Z direction are formed on the front side of the plate-like body 61 of the decorative cover 60. The end faces of the raised ribs 62 can be spliced ​​with the end faces of the grille strip 30. The width of the raised ribs 62 in the Z direction is the same as the width of the grille strip 30 in the Z direction, and the front surface of the raised ribs 62 in the Y1 direction is flush with the front surface of the grille strip 30 in the Y1 direction. Thus, the raised ribs 62 extend the grille strip 30, which helps to ensure the consistency of the appearance of the air outlet panel 1 of the indoor air conditioner at the decorative cover 60 and the air outlet CF, thereby ensuring aesthetics.

[0154] (Structure of the separator)

[0155] As described above, the separator 70 separates the air outlet CF in the X direction.

[0156] Here, as Figure 4 As shown, multiple spacers 70 are spaced apart in the X direction (three in the illustrated example, but not limited to this, and can be appropriately set as needed). The spacers 70 are positioned between the upper plate 11 and the lower plate 12, and extend along the Z direction. The two sides of the spacers 70 in the Z direction are fixed to the upper plate 11 and the lower plate 12 respectively by screws.

[0157] In addition, such as Figure 4As shown, the separator 70 is generally plate-shaped with its thickness direction aligned with the X direction. Specifically, the separator 70 has: a separator body that is generally rectangular when viewed along the X direction; and a plurality of protrusions that protrude from the separator body in the Y1 direction and are spaced apart in the Z direction. At the front end of each protrusion is a locking portion KJ for engaging the grid strip 30, which is formed by a recess that opens in the Y1 direction.

[0158] (Edge sealing structure)

[0159] As described above, the edge banding 80 is installed on the two sides of the air outlet frame 10 in the X direction.

[0160] Here, as Figure 4 As shown, the edge seal 80 is installed on the edge of the decorative cover 60 away from the air outlet CF to block the opening of that edge (in the illustrated example, the opening is formed by a recess formed on the back of the decorative cover 60). Specifically, the edge seal 80 has a protrusion that inserts into the opening of the edge of the decorative cover 60 away from the air outlet CF. Of course, as Figure 15 As shown, when the extended panels YC are spliced ​​on both sides of the air outlet frame 10, the edge banding 80 is set at the end of the extended panel YC that is away from the air outlet panel 1 of the indoor unit of the air conditioner, to ensure the overall aesthetics.

[0161] (Main effects of this implementation method)

[0162] According to the air outlet panel 1 of the indoor unit of the air conditioner in this embodiment, the horizontal blades 41 are disposed within the air duct formed by the air outlet frame 10, that is, the horizontal blades 41 do not protrude from the air outlet CF when rotating. Therefore, even if condensation occurs on the horizontal blades 41 due to cooling operation, the condensation water droplets can be prevented from falling onto the walls and floors of the room. Furthermore, multiple grille strips 30 are horizontally arranged across the air outlet CF, that is, grille strips 30 are arranged downstream of the horizontal blades 41. Therefore, even if grille panels with grille strips extending in the horizontal direction are provided on both sides of the air outlet CF, the appearance of the air outlet CF can be ensured to be consistent with the appearance of the grille panels, improving aesthetics. In addition, the vertical blades 42 have multiple... The recessed portion AX corresponds to the vertical blades 42 and horizontal blades 41, thus ensuring a compact configuration, reducing panel depth, and achieving miniaturization. This meets the current user requirements for reduced ceiling depth. While the horizontal blades 41 and vertical blades 42 are placed inside the air outlet frame 10, reducing the risk of condensation overflowing into the room, this increases the overall depth of the air outlet frame 10. Consequently, the ceiling depth for installing the indoor unit and air outlet panel increases, making the user's indoor space feel cramped. Therefore, by configuring the recessed portion AX, horizontal blades 41, and grille strips 30 accordingly, the installation space for these three components can be minimized, achieving a compact configuration, reducing the overall depth of the air outlet panel, adapting to current user needs, and ensuring airflow performance to achieve user comfort and performance in the indoor environment.

[0163] Furthermore, according to this embodiment, the air outlet panel 1 of the air conditioner indoor unit has a non-rotating grille strip 30, so the air conditioner indoor unit can improve its compatibility with the interior decoration whether it is in a stopped state or in an operating state.

[0164] The present invention has been described above by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the specific implementation of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments.

[0165] For example, in the above embodiment, the shape of the recessed portion AX is not limited. It can be an arc shape, or a U-shape, V-shape, or other shapes, as long as it can prevent the horizontal blade 41 and the vertical blade 42 from interfering with each other when rotating.

[0166] Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the number of recessed portions AX in the Z direction corresponds to the number of horizontal blades 41 and grid bars 30, but it is not limited to this and can also be as follows: Figures 14 to 17BAs shown, in the Z direction, the number of recesses AX is less than the number of horizontal blades 41 and grid strips 30. Specifically, at least one recess AX is provided downstream of the airflow direction of the vertical blade 42, each recess AX corresponding to one horizontal blade 41 and one grid strip 30. Furthermore, the edge of the vertical blade 42 with the recess AX has a vertical blade cutout CQ at least on one side in the Z direction closer to the at least one recess AX (in the illustrated example, when viewed along the Y direction, part of the horizontal blade 41 and grid strip 30 overlaps with the vertical blade cutout CQ). Of course, it is also possible that the number of grid strips 30 is less than the number of recesses AX, in which case it is sufficient that at least one recess AX corresponds to one grid strip 30.

[0167] When setting a vertical blade notch CQ, it can be that, with the maximum depth of the vertical blade notch CQ being d1 and the maximum depth of the recess AX being d2, the relationship d1 > d2 is satisfied (refer to...). Figure 17A Alternatively, the vertical blade notch CQ can be formed from the center of the vertical blade 42 in the Z direction or at least on one side of the Z direction closer to the center. This increases the distance between the vertical blade 42 and the horizontal blade 41 when the horizontal blade 41 swings to its maximum angle in at least one direction in the up-down direction, allowing for smoother airflow between them, reducing drag, and preventing noise caused by turbulence.

[0168] Furthermore, the vertical blade cutout CQ can be formed as shown in the figure, having a straight bottom edge along the Z direction and a straight side edge extending obliquely from the bottom edge toward the Y1 direction and the Z1 direction (or Z2 direction). However, it is not limited to this; the bottom edge and the side edge can also be formed as arcs, and the side edge can also be formed as parallel to the Y direction.

[0169] Furthermore, in the above embodiments, such as Figure 18 As shown, when the extended panel YC is spliced ​​onto the edge of the decorative cover 60 away from the air outlet CF, the extended panel YC can be a closed decorative panel. To ensure the aesthetic consistency of the wall, the extended panel YC can also be equipped with an air inlet, thus placing the air inlet and outlet on the same surface. Of course, the extended panel YC can also be used as a fresh air outlet. In either case, by setting uniform grille strips, the aesthetics of the interior decoration can be ensured.

[0170] Furthermore, in the above embodiments, flared portions can be formed on the left and right walls of the air duct formed by the air outlet frame 10, respectively. At the flared portions, the distance between the left and right walls increases as it moves downstream of the airflow direction.

[0171] Furthermore, in the above embodiments, at least one of the upper plate 11 and the lower plate 12 may be provided with a water-receiving structure (e.g., a groove extending in a plane perpendicular to the Z direction) and a flow-guiding structure (e.g., a groove extending in the X direction or a groove extending in the Y2 direction).

[0172] Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the vertical blade 42 may also have ventilation holes. Thus, in the windless operation mode, when the vertical blade 42 is at an angle within the closed air duct, the airflow is dispersed through the ventilation holes, ensuring user comfort. Of course, when the vertical blade 42 rotates to other angles, the airflow can also be dispersed by the ventilation holes, ensuring user comfort as well.

[0173] In addition, in the above embodiments, an anti-condensation material (such as non-woven fabric) can be applied to the surface of the vertical blade 42, thereby avoiding the risk of condensation forming on the vertical blade 42 and being blown out of the air outlet CF.

[0174] Furthermore, in the above embodiments, the air outlet panel 1 of the air conditioner indoor unit can be as follows: Figure 19 It can be directly connected to the indoor unit ZT of the air conditioner, or it can be indirectly connected via a duct not shown.

[0175] It should be understood that within the scope of this utility model, the various parts in the embodiments can be freely combined, or the various parts in the embodiments can be appropriately modified or omitted.
