[0002] An air conditioner includes a casing and an air guide plate. The casing has an air outlet, and the air guide plate is located at the air outlet. By controlling the position of the air guide plate, the air outlet angle of the air conditioner can be changed to meet the user's needs. In related technologies, the air outlet of the air conditioner is often insufficient to meet user needs, resulting in a poor user experience. Utility Model Content
[0003] This disclosure proposes an air outlet component to improve the user experience.
[0004] The air outlet assembly disclosed herein includes a housing, an air guide plate, and a stop member. The housing has a main air outlet. The air guide plate is located at the main air outlet and is movably connected to the housing between a first position and a second position. The stop member is located between the housing and the air guide plate and is connected to one of the housing and the air guide plate. In the first position, the stop member is located at the edge of the main air outlet and abuts against the other of the housing and the air guide plate. In the second position, the stop member is away from the other.
[0005] The air outlet assembly disclosed herein provides a stop member between the housing and the air guide plate, and the stop member is connected to one of the housing and the air guide plate. In the first position, the stop member abuts against the other of the housing and the air guide plate, so that the distance between the air guide plate and the housing can be greater in the first position. This results in a larger space enclosed between the air guide plate and the housing, allowing the air discharged from the main air outlet to better meet user requirements and improve the user experience of the air outlet assembly.
[0006] Optionally, the stop member includes a first part; the first part is disposed on at least one side of the main air outlet in the width direction, and in the first position, the first part abuts against the air guide plate; or, the first part is disposed on at least one side of the air guide plate in the width direction, and in the first position, the first part abuts against the housing. By providing the first part, in the first position, the relative position of the air guide plate and the housing can be restricted on at least one side of the main air outlet in the width direction, so that the air guide plate is stably maintained in the first position, improving the reliability of the air outlet assembly.
[0007] Optionally, the first part is disposed on one side of the main air outlet in the width direction, and at the first position, the first part disposed on one side of the main air outlet abuts against the air guide plate; or, the first part is disposed on one side of the air guide plate in the width direction of the main air outlet, and at the first position, the first part disposed on one side of the air guide plate abuts against the housing. By designing the first part as described above, the structure of the stop member can be simplified, the processing and manufacturing of the stop member can be facilitated, and the cost of the air outlet assembly can be reduced.
[0008] Optionally, the stop member includes a second part; the second part is disposed at at least one end of the main air outlet along its length direction, and in the first position, the second part abuts against the air guide plate; or, the second part is disposed at at least one end of the air guide plate along its length direction, and in the first position, the second part abuts against the housing. By providing the second part, in the first position, the relative position of the air guide plate and the housing can be limited at at least one end along the length direction of the main air outlet, so that the air guide plate is stably maintained in the first position, improving the reliability of the air outlet assembly.
[0009] Optionally, the second part is disposed at both ends of the main air outlet along its length, and in the first position, the second part at both ends of the main air outlet abuts against the air guide plate; or, the second part is disposed at both ends of the air guide plate along its length, and in the first position, the second part at both ends of the air guide plate abuts against the housing. Thus, the relative position of the air guide plate and the housing can be limited at both ends of the main air outlet along its length, ensuring that the air guide plate is stably maintained in the first position, thereby improving the reliability of the air outlet assembly.
[0010] Optionally, the stop member includes a first part and a second part; the second part is disposed at at least one end of the main air outlet along its length, and the first part is disposed at at least one side of the main air outlet along its width. In the first position, the air guide plate abuts against at least one of the first part and the second part; or, the second part is disposed at at least one end of the air guide plate along its length, and the first part is disposed at at least one side of the air guide plate along its width. In the first position, the air guide plate abuts against at least one of the second part and the first part. By providing the first part and the second part, the relative position of the air guide plate and the housing can be limited in the first position, so that the air guide plate is stably maintained in the first position, improving the reliability of the air outlet assembly.
[0011] Optionally, the second part is disposed at both ends of the main air outlet along its length, and the first part is disposed on one side of the main air outlet along its width. In the first position, both the first part and the second part disposed at both ends of the main air outlet abut against the air guide plate. Alternatively, the second part is disposed at both ends of the air guide plate along its length, and the first part is disposed on one side of the air guide plate along its width. In the first position, both the first part and the second part disposed at both ends of the air guide plate abut against the housing. By using the first and second parts to limit the relative position of the air guide plate and the housing in the first position, the air guide plate is stably maintained in the first position, improving the reliability of the air outlet assembly.
[0012] Optionally, the first part and the second part are integrally formed. By integrally forming the first part and the second part, the processing and manufacturing of the stop part is facilitated, which helps to reduce the cost of the air outlet assembly.
[0013] Optionally, the first part is provided with a first through hole extending through the width direction of the main air outlet; or, the first part is provided with a first through hole extending through the width direction of the air guide plate. By providing the first through hole, the air discharged from the main air outlet can be discharged through the first through hole, allowing the air outlet assembly to have more operating modes and air outlet directions, meeting the user's needs for more operating modes and air outlet directions, and improving the user experience.
[0014] Optionally, the second part has a first end and a second end in the width direction of the main air outlet. In the first position, the air guide plate has a first state and a second state. In the first state, both the first end and the second end of the second part abut against the air guide plate. In the second state, one of the first end and the second end of the second part abuts against the air guide plate. The air guide plate has a first state and a second state when it is in the first position, and the relative position between the air guide plate and the housing is different in the first state and the second state. This allows the air outlet assembly to have more operating modes and air outlet directions, meeting the user's needs for more operating modes and air outlet directions and improving the user experience.
[0015] Optionally, in the first state, a side air outlet is formed between the second part and the air guide plate. This side air outlet allows air discharged from the main air outlet to be discharged from the side air outlet, i.e., from one side along the length of the main air outlet. This provides the air outlet assembly with more operating modes and airflow directions, meeting user needs for more diverse operating modes and airflow directions, and improving the user experience.
[0016] Optionally, the outer periphery of the side air outlet includes a first profile portion and a second profile portion. The first profile portion is defined by the air guide plate, and the second profile portion is defined by the second portion. At least one of the first profile portion and the second profile portion is arc-shaped. By making at least a portion of at least one of the first profile portion and the second profile portion arc-shaped, airflow through the side air outlet can be made smoother, facilitating better airflow guidance by the profile portion. Furthermore, this improves the aesthetics of the side air outlet and simplifies its structure.
[0017] Optionally, one of the first contour portion and the second contour portion is arc-shaped, and the other of the first contour portion and the second contour portion is straight. By setting one of the first contour portion and the second contour portion to be arc-shaped and the other of the first contour portion and the second contour portion to be straight, the airflow is ensured to pass smoothly through the side air outlet while increasing the airflow speed, thereby improving the air outlet effect of the air outlet assembly.
[0018] Optionally, the first contour portion is an arc shape that protrudes toward or away from the second contour portion; or, the second contour portion is an arc shape that protrudes toward or away from the first contour portion. This facilitates increasing the diversity of side air outlets while improving aesthetics.
[0019] Optionally, both the first contour portion and the second contour portion are arc-shaped. The first contour portion protrudes towards or away from the second contour portion, and the protrusion direction of the first contour portion is opposite to or the same as the protrusion direction of the second contour portion. By setting both the first contour portion and the second contour portion to arc-shaped, the resistance of airflow through the side air outlet can be further reduced, the airflow distribution can be more uniform, and the stability of the air outlet assembly can be improved.
[0020] Optionally, in the first position, the air guide plate has a first state and a second state. In the first state, the entire outer edge of the first part abuts against the air guide plate; the second part has a first end and a second end in the width direction of the main air outlet, and in the second state, one of the first end and the second end of the second part abuts against the air guide plate. By having the entire outer edge of the second part abut against the air guide plate in the first state, the contact area between the second part and the air guide plate can be increased, allowing the air guide plate to be stably maintained in the first position and improving the reliability of the air outlet assembly.
[0021] Optionally, the second part is provided with a second through hole or vent extending along the length of the main air outlet. By providing the second through hole or vent, the air discharged from the main air outlet can be discharged through the second through hole or vent, allowing the air outlet assembly to have more operating modes and air outlet directions, meeting the user's needs for more operating modes and air outlet directions, and improving the user experience.
[0022] Optionally, the stop member is integrally formed with one of the housing and the air guide plate. By integrally forming the stop member with one of the housing and the air guide plate, the processing and manufacturing of the air outlet assembly is facilitated, which helps to reduce the cost of the air outlet assembly.
[0023] Optionally, the stop member is detachably connected to one of the housing and the air guide plate. Detachable connection of the stop member to one of the housing and the air guide plate facilitates replacement of the stop member, thereby simplifying maintenance of the air outlet assembly.
[0024] This disclosure also proposes an air conditioner.
[0025] The air conditioner disclosed herein includes the air outlet assembly described in any of the preceding claims. Attached Figure Description

[0050] Embodiments of this disclosure are described in detail below, with examples of these embodiments illustrated in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this disclosure, and should not be construed as limiting it.
[0051] like Figures 1 to 6As shown, the air outlet assembly of this embodiment includes a housing 1, an air guide plate 2, and a stop member 3. The housing 1 has a main air outlet 11, and the air guide plate 2 is disposed at the main air outlet 11 and movably connected to the housing 1 between a first position and a second position. The stop member 3 is disposed between the housing 1 and the air guide plate 2, and the stop member 3 is connected to one of the housing 1 and the air guide plate 2. Wherein, as... Figures 1 to 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in the first position, the stop member 3 is located at the edge of the main air outlet 11, and the stop member 3 abuts against the other of the housing 1 and the air guide plate 2. Figure 4 As shown, in the second position, stop 3 leaves the other.
[0052] For example, the stop member 3 is connected to the housing 1, such as Figures 1 to 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in the first position, the stop member 3 abuts against the air guide plate 2. Figure 4 As shown, in the second position, the stop 3 is away from the air guide plate 2.
[0053] The air outlet assembly of this embodiment provides a stop member 3 between the housing 1 and the air guide plate 2, and the stop member 3 is connected to one of the housing 1 and the air guide plate 2. In the first position, the stop member 3 abuts against the other of the housing 1 and the air guide plate 2, so that the distance between the air guide plate 2 and the housing 1 can be greater in the first position, thereby making the space enclosed between the air guide plate 2 and the housing 1 larger, so that the air discharged from the main air outlet 11 can better meet the user's requirements and improve the user experience of the air outlet assembly.
[0054] In some embodiments, such as Figures 1 to 15 As shown, the stop member 3 includes a first part 31, which is disposed on at least one side of the main air outlet 11 in the width direction of the main air outlet 11. Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in the first position, the first part 31 abuts against the air guide plate 2.
[0055] For example, such as Figure 2 , Figures 7 to 14 As shown, the first part 31 is disposed on one side of the main air outlet 11 in the width direction of the main air outlet 11. For example, as shown... Figure 15 As shown, the first part 31 is provided on both sides of the main air outlet 11 in the width direction.
[0056] For example, the width of the main air outlet 11 is inclined relative to both the vertical and horizontal directions, as shown in the figure. Figure 2 , Figure 7 , Figure 9 , Figure 10 and Figure 13As shown, the first part 31 is located on the upper front side of the main air outlet 11. Figure 8 , Figure 11 , Figure 12 and Figure 14 As shown, the first part 31 is located on the lower rear side of the main air outlet 11. Figure 2 , Figures 7 to 14 As shown, the first part 31 is located on one side of the main air outlet 11 in the width direction. For example... Figure 15 As shown, the first part 31 is located on the upper front side and the lower rear side of the main air outlet 11.
[0057] By setting the first part 31 and placing it in a first position, the first part 31 abuts against the air guide plate 2, thereby limiting the relative position of the air guide plate 2 and the housing 1 on at least one side of the width direction of the main air outlet 11, so that the air guide plate 2 is stably maintained in the first position, thereby improving the reliability of the air outlet assembly.
[0058] In other embodiments, the first part 31 is disposed on at least one side of the air guide plate 2 in the width direction of the air guide plate 2, and in a first position, the first part 31 abuts against the housing 1.
[0059] For example, the first part 31 is disposed on one side of the air guide plate 2 in the width direction, and for example, the first part 31 is disposed on both sides of the air guide plate 2 in the width direction.
[0060] By setting the first part 31 and placing it in a first position, the first part 31 abuts against the housing 1, thereby limiting the relative position of the air guide plate 2 and the housing 1 on at least one side of the width direction of the main air outlet 11, so that the air guide plate 2 is stably maintained in the first position, thereby improving the reliability of the air outlet assembly.
[0061] In some embodiments, such as Figures 1 to 14 As shown, the first part 31 is disposed on one side of the main air outlet 11 in the width direction of the main air outlet 11, as follows: Figure 2 As shown, in the first position, the first part 31 located on one side of the main air outlet 11 abuts against the air guide plate 2.
[0062] For example, such as Figure 2 , Figure 7 , Figure 9 , Figure 10 and Figure 13 As shown, the first part 31 is located on the upper front side of the main air outlet 11. Figure 8 , Figure 11 , Figure 12 and Figure 14 As shown, the first part 31 is located on the lower rear side of the main air outlet 11.
[0063] By placing the first part 31 on one side of the main air outlet 11 in the width direction of the main air outlet 11, the structure of the stop member 3 can be simplified, the processing and manufacturing of the stop member 3 can be facilitated, and the cost of the air outlet assembly can be reduced.
[0064] In other embodiments, such as Figure 18 As shown, the first part 31 is provided on one side of the air guide plate 2 in the width direction of the main air outlet 11. In the first position, the first part 31 provided on one side of the air guide plate 2 abuts against the housing 1.
[0065] By positioning the first part 31 on one side of the air guide plate 2 in the width direction of the main air outlet 11, the structure of the stop member 3 can be simplified, the processing and manufacturing of the stop member 3 can be facilitated, and the cost of the air outlet assembly can be reduced.
[0066] In some embodiments, such as Figures 1 to 6 , Figures 9 to 16 As shown, the stop member 3 includes a second part 32, which is disposed at at least one end of the main air outlet 11 along its length. Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in the first position, the second part 32 abuts against the air guide plate 2.
[0067] For example, such as Figures 9 to 12 As shown, the second part 32 is disposed on one side of the main air outlet 11 along its length. For example, as... Figure 2 , Figures 13 to 15 As shown, the second part 32 is provided on both sides of the main air outlet 11 along the length direction of the main air outlet 11.
[0068] For example, the length of the main air outlet 11 is aligned with the left-right direction, as shown in the figure. Figure 9 and Figure 11 As shown, the second part 32 is located on the left side of the main air outlet 11. Figure 10 and Figure 12 As shown, the second part 32 is located on the right side of the main air outlet 11. Figures 13 to 15 As shown, the second part 32 is located on the left and right sides of the main air outlet 11.
[0069] By setting the second part 32, and in the first position, the second part 32 abuts against the air guide plate 2, thereby limiting the relative position of the air guide plate 2 and the housing 1 at at least one end in the length direction of the main air outlet 11, so that the air guide plate 2 is stably maintained in the first position, thereby improving the reliability of the air outlet assembly.
[0070] In other embodiments, the second part 32 is disposed at at least one end of the air guide plate 2 along the length direction of the air guide plate 2, and in the first position, the second part 32 abuts against the housing 1.
[0071] For example, the second part 32 is provided at one end of the air guide plate 2 along the length direction of the air guide plate 2, and for example, the second part 32 is provided at both ends of the air guide plate 2 along the length direction of the air guide plate 2.
[0072] By setting the second part 32, and in the first position, the second part 32 abuts against the housing 1, thereby limiting the relative position of the air guide plate 2 and the housing 1 at at least one end in the length direction of the main air outlet 11, so that the air guide plate 2 is stably maintained in the first position, thereby improving the reliability of the air outlet assembly.
[0073] In some embodiments, such as Figures 13 to 15 As shown, the second part 32 is located at both ends of the main air outlet 11 along its length. Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in the first position, the second part 32 located at both ends of the main air outlet 11 abuts against the air guide plate 2.
[0074] For example, such as Figures 13 to 15 As shown, the second part 32 is located at both ends of the main air outlet 11.
[0075] By placing the second part 32 at both ends of the main air outlet 11 along its length, the relative position of the air guide plate 2 and the housing 1 is restricted at both ends of the main air outlet 11 along its length, thereby ensuring that the air guide plate 2 is stably maintained in the first position and improving the reliability of the air outlet assembly.
[0076] In other embodiments, the second part 32 is disposed at both ends of the air guide plate 2 along its length. For example... Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in the first position, the second part 32 located at both ends of the air guide plate 2 abuts against the housing 1.
[0077] By providing the second part 32 at both ends of the air guide plate 2 along its length, the relative position of the air guide plate 2 and the housing 1 is restricted by the second part 32 at both ends of the air guide plate 2 along its length in the first position, thereby keeping the air guide plate 2 stably in the first position and improving the reliability of the air outlet assembly.
[0078] In some embodiments, such as Figures 1 to 6 , Figures 9 to 15 As shown, the stop member 3 includes a first part 31 and a second part 32. The second part 32 is disposed at at least one end of the main air outlet 11 along its length, and the first part 31 is disposed on at least one side of the main air outlet 11 along its width. Figures 1 to 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in the first position, the air guide plate 2 abuts against at least one of the first part 31 and the second part 32.
[0079] For example, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in the first position, the air guide plate 2 abuts against both the first part 31 and the second part 32. For example, as... Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in the first position, the air guide plate 2 only abuts against the first part 31.
[0080] By setting the first part 31 and the second part 32, the relative position of the air guide plate 2 and the housing 1 can be restricted by the first part 31 and the second part 32 in the first position, so that the air guide plate 2 is stably maintained in the first position, thereby improving the reliability of the air outlet assembly.
[0081] In other embodiments, the second part 32 is disposed at at least one end of the air guide plate 2 in the length direction of the air guide plate 2, and the first part 31 is disposed at at least one side of the air guide plate 2 in the width direction of the air guide plate 2. In the first position, the air guide plate 2 abuts against at least one of the second part 32 and the first part 31.
[0082] For example, in the first position, the housing 1 abuts against both the first part 31 and the second part 32. Alternatively, in the first position, the housing 1 abuts against only the first part 31 or the second part 32.
[0083] By setting the first part 31 and the second part 32, the relative position of the air guide plate 2 and the housing 1 can be restricted by the first part 31 and the second part 32 in the first position, so that the air guide plate 2 is stably maintained in the first position, thereby improving the reliability of the air outlet assembly.
[0084] In some embodiments, such as Figures 1 to 6 , Figure 13 , Figure 14 As shown, the second part 32 is disposed at both ends of the main air outlet 11 along its length, and the first part 31 is disposed on one side of the main air outlet 11 along its width. Figures 1 to 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in the first position, the first part 31 and the second part 32 located at both ends of the main air outlet 11 are in contact with the air guide plate 2.
[0085] For example, such as Figures 1 to 6 , Figure 13 As shown, the second part 32 is located at both ends of the main air outlet 11, and the first part 31 is located on the upper front side of the main air outlet 11. For example, as... Figure 14 As shown, the second part 32 is located at both ends of the main air outlet 11, and the first part 31 is located at the lower rear side of the main air outlet 11. Figures 1 to 3 , Figure 5 As shown in Figure 6, in the first position, the first part 31 and the two second parts 32 are all in contact with the air guide plate 2.
[0086] By placing the first part 31 and the second part 32 located at both ends of the main air outlet 11 in the first position, both abutting against the air guide plate 2, the relative position of the air guide plate 2 and the housing 1 is restricted by the first part 31 and the second part 32, so that the air guide plate 2 is stably maintained in the first position, thereby improving the reliability of the air outlet assembly.
[0087] In other embodiments, the second part 32 is disposed at both ends of the air guide plate 2 along its length, and the first part 31 is disposed on one side of the air guide plate 2 along its width. In the first position, both the first part 31 and the second part 32 disposed at both ends of the air guide plate 2 abut against the housing 1.
[0088] In the first position, the first part 31 and the second part 32 located at both ends of the air guide plate 2 abut against the housing 1. The first part 31 and the second part 32 restrict the relative position of the air guide plate 2 and the housing 1, so that the air guide plate 2 is stably maintained in the first position, thereby improving the reliability of the air outlet assembly.
[0089] Optionally, such as Figures 1 to 6 As shown, in the first position, the air guide plate 2 has a first state and a second state. (As...) Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in the first state, the second part 32 has a first end 321 and a second end 322 in the width direction of the main air outlet 11, and both the first end 321 and the second end 322 of the second part 32 abut against the air guide plate 2. Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in the second state, one of the first end 321 and the second end 322 of the second part 32 abuts against the air guide plate 2.
[0090] For example, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in the first state, both the first end 321 and the second end 322 of the second part 32 abut against the air guide plate 2. Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the first end 321 of the second part 32 abuts against the air guide plate 2, and the second end 322 of the second part 32 leaves the air guide plate 2.
[0091] When the air guide plate 2 is in the first position, it has a first state and a second state. The relative position between the air guide plate 2 and the housing 1 is different in the first state and the second state, which makes the air outlet assembly have more working modes and air outlet directions, meet the user's needs for more working modes and air outlet directions, and improve the user experience.
[0092] Optionally, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in the first state, the entire outer edge of the second part 32 abuts against the air guide plate 2. In the second state, one of the first end 321 and the second end 322 of the second part 32 abuts against the air guide plate 2.
[0093] By having the entire outer edge of the second part 32 abut against the air guide plate 2 in the first state, the contact area between the second part 32 and the air guide plate 2 can be increased, so that the air guide plate 2 can be stably maintained in the first position, thereby improving the reliability of the air outlet assembly.
[0094] Optionally, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in the first state, a side air outlet 12 is formed between the second part 32 and the air guide plate 2.
[0095] For example, side air outlets 12 are defined on both sides of the length direction of the air guide plate 2.
[0096] The second part 32 and the air guide plate 2 form a side air outlet 12, so that the air discharged from the main air outlet 11 can be discharged from the side air outlet 12, that is, discharged from one side of the length direction of the main air outlet 11. This allows the air outlet assembly to have more working modes and air outlet directions, meet the user's needs for more working modes and air outlet directions, and improve the user experience.
[0097] Optionally, such as Figure 3 As shown, the outer periphery of the side air outlet 12 includes a first profile portion 121 and a second profile portion 122. The first profile portion 121 is defined by the air guide plate 2, and the second profile portion 122 is defined by the second portion 32. At least one of the first profile portion 121 and the second profile portion 122 is arc-shaped.
[0098] Wherein, at least a portion of at least one of the first contour portion 121 and the second contour portion 122 is arc-shaped, which can be understood as at least a portion of the first contour portion 121 being arc-shaped; or at least a portion of the second contour portion 122 being arc-shaped; or at least a portion of the first contour portion 121 and at least a portion of the second contour portion 122 being arc-shaped.
[0099] For example, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the first contour portion 121 and the second contour portion 122 are arranged at intervals in a preset direction to form a side air outlet 12 between the first contour portion 121 and the second contour portion 122, wherein the preset direction is inclined relative to the vertical direction and the front-back direction.
[0100] By making at least a portion of at least one of the first contour portion 121 and the second contour portion 122 arc-shaped, on the one hand, the airflow can flow more smoothly through the side air outlet 12, making it easier for the contour portion to guide the airflow better; on the other hand, it improves the aesthetics of the side air outlet 12 and simplifies the structure.
[0101] Optionally, one of the first contour portion 121 and the second contour portion 122 is arc-shaped, and the other of the first contour portion 121 and the second contour portion 122 is straight-shaped.
[0102] For example, the first contour portion 121 is straight and the second contour portion 122 is arc-shaped; or, the first contour portion 121 is arc-shaped and the second contour portion 122 is straight.
[0103] For example, the first contour portion 121 defined by the air guide plate 2 is arc-shaped, the second contour portion 122 defined by the second portion 32 is straight, and the first contour portion 121 is an arc shape protruding toward the second contour portion 122.
[0104] For example, the first contour portion 121 defined by the air guide plate 2 is straight, and the second contour portion 122 defined by the second portion 32 is arc-shaped, and the second contour portion 122 is an arc-shaped part that protrudes toward the first contour portion 121.
[0105] By setting one of the first contour portion 121 and the second contour portion 122 to an arc shape and the other of the first contour portion 121 and the second contour portion 122 to a straight shape, the airflow is ensured to pass smoothly through the side air outlet 12 while increasing the airflow speed, thereby improving the air outlet effect of the air outlet assembly.
[0106] In other embodiments, both the first contour portion 121 and the second contour portion 122 may be straight lines.
[0107] Optionally, the first contour portion 121 is an arc shape that protrudes toward or away from the second contour portion 122.
[0108] For example, the first contour portion 121 is an arc shape that protrudes toward the second contour portion 122. Or, the first contour portion 121 is an arc shape that protrudes away from the second contour portion 122.
[0109] By setting the first contour portion 121 to be an arc shape that protrudes toward or away from the second contour portion 122, it is easy to increase the diversity of the side air outlet 12 while improving the aesthetics.
[0110] Optionally, the second contour portion 122 is an arc shape that protrudes toward or away from the first contour portion 121.
[0111] For example, the second contour portion 122 is an arc shape that protrudes toward the first contour portion 121. Or, the second contour portion 122 is an arc shape that protrudes away from the first contour portion 121.
[0112] By setting the second contour portion 122 to be an arc shape that protrudes toward or away from the first contour portion 121, it is easy to increase the diversity of the side air outlet 12 while improving the aesthetics.
[0113] Optionally, both the first contour portion 121 and the second contour portion 122 are arc-shaped. The first contour portion 121 protrudes toward or away from the second contour portion 122, and the protrusion direction of the first contour portion 121 is opposite to or the same as the protrusion direction of the second contour portion 122.
[0114] By setting both the first contour portion 121 and the second contour portion 122 to be arc-shaped, the resistance of airflow through the side air outlet 12 can be further reduced, the airflow distribution can be more uniform, and the stability of the air outlet assembly can be improved.
[0115] For example, the first contour portion 121 is an arc shape protruding away from the second contour portion 122, and the second contour portion 122 is an arc shape protruding away from the first contour portion 121. The protrusion directions of the first contour portion 121 and the second contour portion 122 are opposite. The first contour portion 121 and the second contour portion 122 protrude in mutually opposing directions, which on the one hand ensures the air outlet area of the side air outlet 12, and on the other hand, the airflow flows smoothly along the curves of the two arc-shaped contour portions, which can effectively disperse the wind force, reduce the wind pressure of the airflow, and improve the air outlet effect.
[0116] For example, the first contour portion 121 is an arc shape protruding toward the second contour portion 122, and the second contour portion 122 is an arc shape protruding toward the first contour portion 121. The protrusion directions of the first contour portion 121 and the second contour portion 122 are opposite.
[0117] For example, the first contour portion 121 is an arc shape protruding toward the second contour portion 122, and the second contour portion 122 is an arc shape protruding away from the first contour portion 121. The protrusion directions of the first contour portion 121 and the second contour portion 122 are the same.
[0118] Optionally, the first part 31 and the second part 32 are integrally formed.
[0119] By integrally molding the first part 31 and the second part 32, the processing and manufacturing of the stop part 3 is facilitated, which helps to reduce the cost of the air outlet assembly.
[0120] In some embodiments, the first part 31 is provided with a first through hole extending through the width direction of the main air outlet 11.
[0121] By setting the first through hole, the air discharged from the main air outlet 11 can be discharged through the first through hole, which enables the air outlet component to have more working modes and air outlet directions, meet the user's needs for more working modes and air outlet directions, and improve the user experience.
[0122] In some other embodiments, the first part 31 is provided with a first through hole extending through the width direction of the air guide plate 2.
[0123] By setting the first through hole, the air discharged from the main air outlet 11 can be discharged through the first through hole, which enables the air outlet component to have more working modes and air outlet directions, meet the user's needs for more working modes and air outlet directions, and improve the user experience.
[0124] Optionally, such as Figure 18 As shown, the second part 32 is provided with a second through hole 311 or vent that extends along the length of the main air outlet 11.
[0125] By setting a second through hole 311 or vent, the air discharged from the main air outlet 11 can be discharged through the second through hole 311 or vent, so that the air outlet component has more working modes and air outlet directions, meeting the user's needs for more working modes and air outlet directions, and improving the user experience.
[0126] In some embodiments, the stop member 3 is integrally formed with one of the housing 1 and the air guide plate 2.
[0127] For example, such as Figures 7 to 17 As shown, the stop member 3 is integrally formed with the housing 1. For example, as... Figure 18 As shown, the stop part 3 and the air guide plate 2 are integrally formed.
[0128] By integrally molding the stop member 3 with one of the housing 1 and the air guide plate 2, the processing and manufacturing of the air outlet assembly is facilitated, which helps to reduce the cost of the air outlet assembly.
[0129] In other embodiments, the stop member 3 is detachably connected to one of the housing 1 and the air guide plate 2.
[0130] For example, the stopper 3 is snapped into the housing 1. Another example is that the stopper 3 is snapped into the air guide plate 2.
[0131] By detachably connecting the stopper 3 to one of the housing 1 and the air guide plate 2, the replacement of the stopper 3 is convenient, thereby facilitating the maintenance of the air outlet assembly.
[0132] Optionally, such as Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the air outlet assembly includes a drive mechanism 4, which is connected to the air guide plate 2 and the housing 1, and is used to drive the air guide plate 2 to move. In the second position, a portion of the drive mechanism 4 extends to the outside of the main air outlet 11.
[0133] For example, the air guide plate 2 is located on the lower front side of the main air outlet 11, and in the second position, a part of the drive mechanism 4 extends to the lower front side of the main air outlet 11.
[0134] In the second position, by extending a portion of the drive mechanism 4 to the outside of the main air outlet 11, the distance between the air guide plate 2 and the edge of the main air outlet 11 is larger, thereby increasing the air outlet area of the air outlet assembly and improving the air outlet effect of the air outlet assembly.
[0135] Optionally, such as Figure 4 As shown, the drive mechanism 4 includes a rotating arm 41 and a drive component. One end of the rotating arm 41 is connected to the air guide plate 2, and the other end of the rotating arm 41 is connected to the drive component for transmission. In the second position, at least a portion of the rotating arm 41 extends to the outside of the main air outlet 11.
[0136] For example, when the air guide plate 2 moves, the driving component drives the rotating arm 41 to rotate, and the rotating arm 41 drives the air guide plate 2 to move, so that the air guide plate 2 can move to different positions.
[0137] For example, in the second position, at least a portion of the rotating arm 41 extends to the lower front side of the main air outlet 11.
[0138] In the second position, by extending a portion of the rotating arm 41 to the outside of the main air outlet 11, the distance between the air guide plate 2 and the edge of the main air outlet 11 is larger, thereby increasing the air outlet area of the air outlet assembly and improving the air outlet effect of the air outlet assembly.
[0139] Optionally, the drive mechanism 4 further includes a transmission arm 42, one end of which is connected to the rotating arm 41, and the other end of which is connected to the drive component. In the second position, the rotating arm 41 is entirely located outside the main air outlet 11, and a portion of the transmission arm 42 is located outside the main air outlet 11.
[0140] For example, when the air guide plate 2 moves, the driving component drives the transmission arm 42 to rotate, the transmission arm 42 drives the rotating arm 41 to rotate, and the rotating arm 41 drives the air guide plate 2 to move, so that the air guide plate 2 can move to different positions.
[0141] For example, in the second position, the rotating arm 41 extends entirely to the lower front side of the main air outlet 11, and a portion of the transmission arm 42 extends to the lower front side of the main air outlet 11.
[0142] In the second position, the rotating arm 41 is located entirely outside the main air outlet 11, and a part of the transmission arm 42 is located outside the main air outlet 11, which makes the distance between the air guide plate 2 and the edge of the main air outlet 11 larger, thereby making the air outlet area of the air outlet assembly larger, which is beneficial to improving the air outlet effect of the air outlet assembly.
[0143] For example, such as Figures 1 to 3As shown, in the first state, the air discharged from the main air outlet 11 can be discharged from the first through hole and the second through hole 311. At this time, the air outlet assembly is for left air outlet, right air outlet, top air outlet and bottom air outlet, and is in gentle wind mode. Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in the second state, the air discharged from the main air outlet 11 can be discharged from one side of the length direction and both sides of the width direction of the air guide plate 2. At this time, the air outlet assembly is a left air outlet, a right air outlet, and a top air outlet, or the air conditioner 100 is a left air outlet, a right air outlet, and a bottom air outlet. Figure 4 As shown, in the second position, the air discharged from the main air outlet 11 can be discharged from both sides of the length direction and both sides of the width direction of the air guide plate 2. At this time, the air conditioner 100 has left air outlet, right air outlet, top air outlet, and bottom air outlet. A through hole extending along the thickness direction can also be provided in the air guide plate 2, so that the air discharged from the main air outlet 11 can be discharged through the through hole of the air guide plate 2 regardless of its position.
[0144] By setting a stopper 3 between the housing 1 and the air guide plate 2, the air guide plate 2 can be raised along the air outlet direction of the main air outlet 11 in the first position, so that the space enclosed by the housing 1 and the air guide plate 2 (e.g., the side air outlet 12) is larger, which better meets the user's needs.
