Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air conditioning technology, specifically to a housing assembly and an air conditioner. Background Technology

[0002] In related technologies, air conditioners include a casing and an air guide plate. The casing has an air inlet and an air outlet, and the air guide plate is located at the air outlet to adjust the airflow direction. Side air outlets are also provided on the left or right side panel of the casing to increase the airflow range and adjust the airflow effect. However, in order to form a side air outlet duct, air conditioners in related technologies tend to occupy part of the casing space, reducing the volume of the heat exchange duct inside the air conditioner. Furthermore, the unreasonable size and arrangement of the side air outlet duct results in a poor overall appearance of the air conditioner. Utility Model Content

[0003] This utility model aims to at least partially solve one of the technical problems in the related art.

[0004] Therefore, embodiments of this utility model propose a housing assembly that can achieve side air outlet while ensuring the volume of the heat exchange duct inside the air conditioner, and can improve the overall appearance of the housing assembly, resulting in a better user experience.

[0005] An embodiment of this utility model also proposes an air conditioner.

[0006] The housing assembly of this utility model includes: a housing having an air outlet; and an air guide plate movably connected to the housing between a first position and a second position. In the first position, at least one end of the air guide plate in the length direction forms a side air outlet with the housing, and air from the housing exits through the side air outlet. In the second position, air from the housing exits through the side air outlet and from at least one side in the width direction of the air guide plate. In the first position, the air outlet cross-sectional area of ​​the side air outlet is A, and the projected area of ​​the outer periphery of the housing in a projection plane orthogonal to the length direction of the air guide plate is B, where 0 < A / B ≤ 8%.

[0007] According to the housing assembly of the present invention, since at least one end of the air guide plate in the length direction forms a side air outlet with the housing, and the air inside the housing exits from the side air outlet, the side air outlet does not need to occupy the volume of the heat exchange duct inside the air conditioner. Furthermore, since the air outlet cross-sectional area of ​​the side air outlet satisfies the aforementioned ratio range when the air guide plate is in the first position, it ensures normal side air outlet operation of the air conditioner in the first position, while avoiding the problem of users being able to directly observe the internal components of the housing from the side of the air conditioner due to an excessively large air outlet cross-sectional area. This improves the overall appearance of the housing assembly and enhances the user experience.

[0008] In some embodiments, 0.8% ≤ A / B ≤ 5%. In embodiments of this invention, the A / B ratio of the housing assembly is greater than or equal to 0.8% to ensure that the air conditioner can normally discharge air from the side when the air guide plate is in the first position, thus meeting the side air discharge requirements of the air conditioner. Furthermore, A / B needs to be less than or equal to 5% to minimize the area occupied by the side air outlet 23 while ensuring normal side air discharge from the air conditioner, thereby improving the overall aesthetics of the air conditioner.

[0009] In some embodiments, 500mm 2 ≤A≤3000mm 2 The housing assembly of this utility model, by using the aforementioned area for A, can meet the side air outlet requirements of most air conditioners, and the side air outlet effect is good.

[0010] In some embodiments, at least a portion of the outer periphery of the side air outlet is arc-shaped. By designing at least a portion of the outer periphery of the side air outlet as arc-shaped, the housing assembly of this embodiment can better guide airflow, reduce airflow resistance at the side air outlet, improve airflow efficiency, and also has an aesthetically pleasing appearance and good overall integrity.

[0011] In some embodiments, the outer peripheral contour includes a first contour portion and a second contour portion arranged opposite to each other, wherein at least a portion of at least one of the first contour portion and the second contour portion is arc-shaped. This allows airflow to pass more smoothly through the side air outlet, facilitates better airflow guidance by the contour portion, and improves the aesthetics and overall appearance of the side air outlet.

[0012] In some embodiments, the first profile portion is defined by the air guide plate, and the second profile portion is defined by the housing. This simplifies the connection structure between the housing and the air guide plate, eliminates the need for additional side air outlet frames, results in a clean overall appearance for the housing assembly, and reduces manufacturing costs.

[0013] In some embodiments, both the first contour portion and the second contour portion are defined by the air guide plate, thereby making the side air outlet less prone to deformation and structurally stable.

[0014] In some embodiments, both the first profile portion and the second profile portion are defined by the housing, thereby making the side air outlet less prone to deformation and structurally stable.

[0015] In some embodiments, 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. This facilitates the processing and shaping of the side air outlet and provides a better fit with the housing and air guide plate.

[0016] In some embodiments, both the first contour portion and the second contour portion are arc-shaped, and the protrusion directions of the first contour portion and the second contour portion are the same or opposite. On the one hand, this can increase the air outlet area of ​​the side air outlet, ensuring the air volume of the air conditioner; on the other hand, the airflow will flow smoothly along the curves of the two arc-shaped contour portions, which can effectively disperse the wind force, reduce the air pressure, and improve the air outlet effect.

[0017] In some embodiments, the housing assembly further includes a flow guide disposed at the side air outlet for guiding airflow from the side air outlet to a designated area. This flow guide can thus organize and guide the airflow from the side air outlet to the desired location, thereby improving airflow efficiency and enhancing the user experience.

[0018] In some embodiments, the airflow guide includes a guide plate disposed at the side air outlet, dividing the side air outlet into at least two airflow guiding zones. Thus, the air discharged from the side air outlet can enter different airflow guiding zones and then be guided out of the housing under the guidance of these zones, thereby improving the diffusion effect of the air discharged from the side air outlet and increasing the air delivery range.

[0019] In some embodiments, the air guide further includes a ventilation plate with multiple through holes extending along its thickness, covering the side air outlet. On one hand, the airflow exiting the side air outlet can be dispersed by the ventilation plate, making the airflow gentler and improving the user experience. On the other hand, since the ventilation plate covers the side air outlet, it can prevent external dust or foreign objects from entering the housing, thus providing a certain degree of dustproof effect and improving the reliability of the air conditioner.

[0020] In some embodiments, the airflow guide includes a guide fan disposed at the side air outlet. The guide fan can guide the airflow discharged from the side air outlet, allowing the airflow to diffuse in all directions, thereby improving the diffusion effect of the airflow at the side air outlet location and increasing the air delivery range.

[0021] Another embodiment of the air conditioner of the present invention includes the housing assembly described in any one of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0022] According to the embodiments of the present invention, in the air conditioner, since at least one end of the air guide plate in the length direction forms a side air outlet with the housing, and the air inside the housing exits from the side air outlet, the side air outlet does not need to occupy the volume of the heat exchange air duct inside the air conditioner. Furthermore, since the air outlet cross-sectional area of ​​the side air outlet satisfies the aforementioned ratio range when the air guide plate is in the first position, it ensures normal side air outlet operation in the first position while avoiding the problem of users being able to directly observe the internal components of the housing from the side of the air conditioner due to an excessively large air outlet cross-sectional area. This improves the overall appearance of the housing assembly and enhances the user experience. Attached Figure Description

[0042] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0043] The following is a reference appendix. Figures 1 to 7 This invention describes a housing assembly and an air conditioner according to embodiments of the present invention.

[0044] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the housing assembly of this utility model embodiment includes: a housing 1 and an air guide plate 2. The housing 1 is provided with an air outlet 11. The air guide plate 2 is movably connected to the housing 1 between a first position and a second position. In the first position, at least one end of the air guide plate 2 in the length direction forms a side air outlet 23 with the housing 1, and the air in the housing 1 exits from the side air outlet 23. In the second position, the air in the housing 1 exits from the side air outlet 23 and from at least one side in the width direction of the air guide plate 2. In the first position, the air outlet cross-sectional area of ​​the side air outlet 23 is A, and the projected area of ​​the outer periphery of the housing 1 in a projection plane orthogonal to the length direction of the air guide plate 2 is B, where 0 < A / B ≤ 8%.

[0045] like Figure 1As shown, the length direction of the air guide plate 2 can be understood as the left and right direction of the air guide plate 2, and the length direction of the air guide plate 2 is consistent with the left and right direction of the housing 1 (air conditioner).

[0046] According to the housing assembly of the present invention, since at least one end of the air guide plate 2 in the length direction forms a side air outlet 23 with the housing 1 and the air inside the housing 1 exits from the side air outlet 23, the side air outlet 23 does not need to occupy the volume of the heat exchange air duct inside the air conditioner. In addition, since the air outlet cross-sectional area of ​​the side air outlet 23 satisfies the above-mentioned ratio range when the air guide plate 2 is in the first position, it can ensure that the air conditioner can normally exit the side air in the first position, and can also avoid the problem that the user can directly observe the internal components of the housing 1 from the side of the air conditioner due to the excessively large air outlet cross-sectional area of ​​the side air outlet 23. This is beneficial to improving the overall appearance of the housing assembly and making the user experience better.

[0047] Understandably, when the A / B ratio is greater than 8%, users can directly observe components such as the heat exchanger and the drive mechanism of the air guide plate 2 inside the casing 1 from the side of the air conditioner, thus affecting the overall appearance of the casing assembly. Furthermore, when the area of ​​the side air outlet 23 is too large, external dust or foreign objects can easily enter the casing 1 through this outlet, affecting the cleanliness inside the air conditioner and reducing its operational reliability.

[0048] When the air guide plate 2 is in the first position, it can block the air outlet 11, that is, the two sides of the air guide plate 2 in the width direction abut against the housing 1. At this time, the air inside the housing 1 can be discharged through the side air outlet 23.

[0049] When the air guide plate 2 is in the second position, it is spaced apart from the air outlet 11. At this time, part of the air inside the housing 1 is discharged through the air outlet 11 of the housing 1, and the other part is discharged through the side air outlet 23. The air discharged through the air outlet 11 of the housing 1 can be discharged along at least one side of the width direction of the air guide plate 2 under the guidance of the air guide plate 2.

[0050] In other words, when the air guide plate 2 is in the first position, it can close the air outlet 11, at which point the air outlet 11 will either not produce air or produce a small flow of air. When the air guide plate 2 is in the second position, it can open the air outlet 11, at which point the air outlet 11 will produce a large flow of air. In addition, regardless of whether the air guide plate 2 is in the first or second position, the side air outlet 23 can produce air normally.

[0051] When the air guide plate 2 is in the second position, it moves away from the air outlet 11 relative to the housing 1 to open the front side of the air outlet 11, facilitating the airflow from the outlet 11. This results in a relatively large air outlet area, enabling rapid cooling and heating of the air conditioner. When the air guide plate 2 is in the first position, it moves closer to the air outlet 11 relative to the housing 1 to close the front side of the outlet 11. At least one end of the air guide plate 2 along its length forms a side air outlet 23 with the housing 1, facilitating the airflow from the side air outlet 23 and preventing direct airflow onto the body, thus enhancing comfort and improving the user experience. The air guide plate 2 can be switched between the second and first positions, allowing the user to adjust it as needed to allow the airflow to exit through the air outlet 11 or the side air outlet 23, achieving front or side airflow from the air conditioner.

[0052] like Figure 1 As shown, at least one end of the air guide plate 2 along its length can be understood as follows: the left end of the air guide plate 2 forms a side air outlet 23 between the left end and the housing 1; or, the right end of the air guide plate 2 forms a side air outlet 23 between the right end and the housing 1; or, the left end of the air guide plate 2 forms a side air outlet 23 between the left end and the housing 1, and the right end of the air guide plate 2 forms a side air outlet 23 between the right end and the housing 1.

[0053] Optionally, 0.8% ≤ A / B ≤ 5%. It is understood that A / B needs to be greater than or equal to 0.8% to ensure that the air conditioner can normally discharge air from the side when the air guide plate 2 is in the first position, thus meeting the side air discharge requirements of the air conditioner. Additionally, A / B needs to be less than or equal to 5% to minimize the area occupied by the side air outlet 23 while ensuring that the air conditioner can discharge air normally from the side.

[0054] For example, the A / B ratio can be 0.8%, 1%, 1.5%, 2%, 2.5%, 3%, 3.5%, 4%, 4.5%, or 5%.

[0055] Optionally, 500mm 2 ≤A≤3000mm 2 For example, A can be 500mm. 2 1000mm 2 1500mm 2 2000mm 2 2500mm 2 3000mm 2 The housing assembly of this utility model, by using the aforementioned area for A, can meet the side air outlet requirements of most wall-mounted air conditioners, and the side air outlet effect is good.

[0056] Correspondingly, in the projection plane orthogonal to the length direction of the air guide plate 2, the projected area B of the outer periphery of the housing 1 can be 5000 mm². 2-7000mm 2 Choose from between. For example, B can be 5000mm. 2 6000mm 2 7000mm 2 This is to accommodate the arrangement of components inside the housing 1.

[0057] Optionally, such as Figures 3A to 3H As shown, at least a portion of the outer periphery of the side air outlet 23 is arc-shaped. By designing at least a portion of the outer periphery of the side air outlet 23 as arc-shaped, the housing assembly of this embodiment can better guide airflow, reduce airflow resistance at the side air outlet 23, improve airflow efficiency, and has a beautiful appearance and good overall integrity.

[0058] Optionally, the outer peripheral contour includes a first contour portion 21 and a second contour portion 22 arranged opposite to each other, wherein at least a portion of at least one of the first contour portion 21 and the second contour portion 22 is arc-shaped. It is understood that at least a portion of the first contour portion 21 is arc-shaped; or, at least a portion of the second contour portion 22 is arc-shaped; or, at least a portion of both the first contour portion 21 and the second contour portion 22 are arc-shaped. This allows for smoother airflow through the side outlet 23, facilitates better airflow guidance by the contour portion, and improves the aesthetics and overall appearance of the side outlet 23.

[0059] In one example, the first profile 21 is defined by the air guide plate 2, and the second profile 22 is defined by the housing 1. It is understood that the outer periphery of the side air outlet 23 is formed by the air guide plate 2 and the housing 1. This simplifies the connection structure between the housing 1 and the air guide plate 2, eliminating the need for an extra side air outlet frame, resulting in a simpler overall appearance for the housing assembly and lower manufacturing costs.

[0060] In another example, both the first profile 21 and the second profile 22 are defined by the air guide plate 2. It can be understood that the side air outlet 23 is formed on the air guide plate 2. Figure 3A As shown, the air guide plate 2 includes a plate body 24 and a side air outlet 25. The side air outlet 25 is connected to the plate body 24 and forms a side air outlet 23. When the air guide plate 2 is in the first position, the side air outlet 25 abuts against the housing 1, which makes the side air outlet 23 less prone to deformation and structurally stable.

[0061] In another example, both the first contour portion 21 and the second contour portion 22 are defined by the housing 1. It is understood that the side air outlet 23 is directly formed on the housing 1. For example, during the injection molding of the housing 1, a pre-reserved opening can be provided in the side wall of the housing 1 to form the side air outlet 23. This simplifies the forming method of the side air outlet 23, makes it less prone to deformation, and ensures structural stability.

[0062] Optionally, such as Figure 3A ,like Figure 3B ,like Figure 3C , Figure 3D As shown, one of the first contour portion 21 and the second contour portion 22 is arc-shaped, and the other of the first contour portion 21 and the second contour portion 22 is straight-lined. This facilitates the processing and forming of the side air outlet 23 and provides a better fit with the housing 1 and the air guide plate 2.

[0063] Optionally, such as Figure 3E ,like Figure 3F ,like Figure 3G , Figure 3H As shown, both the first contour portion 21 and the second contour portion 22 are arc-shaped, and the protrusion directions of the first contour portion 21 and the second contour portion 22 are the same or opposite. On the one hand, this can increase the air outlet area of ​​the side air outlet 23, ensuring the air volume of the air conditioner. On the other hand, the airflow will flow smoothly along the curves of the two arc-shaped contour portions, which can effectively disperse the wind force, reduce the air pressure, and improve the air outlet effect.

[0064] In other examples, such as Figure 3I As shown, the first contour portion 21 is straight and the second contour portion 22 is straight, which allows the side airflow to quickly enter the room through the side air outlet 23, resulting in faster diffusion and simpler processing and manufacturing.

[0065] Optionally, such as Figures 4 to 7 As shown, the housing assembly also includes a guide member 3, which is located at the side air outlet 23 and is used to guide the airflow from the side air outlet 23 to a designated area. Since the guide member 3 is located at the side air outlet 23 and is used to guide the airflow from the side air outlet 23 to the designated area, it can organize and guide the airflow from the side air outlet 23 to the desired location, thereby improving the airflow effect and enhancing the user experience.

[0066] Understandably, the air guide 3 can sort and guide the airflow discharged from the side air outlet 23. On the one hand, it can reduce the problem of turbulence at the side air outlet 23 and reduce the air outlet resistance. On the other hand, it can guide the airflow, which is conducive to improving the air supply range or air supply distance of the side air outlet 23, thereby meeting the air supply needs of the air conditioner in different working modes.

[0067] like Figures 4 to 7As shown, the flow guide 3 is disposed on at least one of the air guide plate 2 and the housing 1. For example, the flow guide 3 is disposed on the air guide plate 2, in which case the flow guide 3 can move with the movement of the air guide plate 2. Another example is that the flow guide 3 is disposed on the housing 1. Yet another example is that there are two flow guides 3, one disposed on the air guide plate 2 and the other disposed on the housing 1. By connecting the flow guides 3 in the above manner, the housing assembly of this embodiment of the present invention simplifies the arrangement of the flow guides 3, and compared to the heat exchanger scheme that integrates the flow guides 3 into the housing 1, it facilitates the assembly and manufacturing of the flow guides 3.

[0068] Optionally, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the airflow guide 3 includes a guide plate 31, which is disposed at the side air outlet 23. The guide plate 31 divides the side air outlet 23 into at least two airflow guiding zones 231. The air discharged from the side air outlet 23 can enter different airflow guiding zones 231 respectively, and then be guided out of the housing 1 under the guidance of the airflow guiding zones 231. This can improve the diffusion effect of the air discharged from the side air outlet 23 and increase the air supply range.

[0069] The air outlet direction of different guide zones 231 can be the same or different, and this utility model does not limit this.

[0070] For example, such as Figure 5 As shown, there are multiple guide vanes 31, which are arranged at intervals at the side air outlets 23. This can improve the diffusion effect of the airflow discharged from the side air outlets 23 and increase the air supply range.

[0071] Optionally, such as Figure 6 As shown, the air guide 3 also includes a ventilation plate 32, which has multiple through holes 321 extending along its thickness direction, covering the side air outlet 23. On one hand, the airflow discharged from the side air outlet 23 can be dispersed by the ventilation plate 32, making the airflow from the side air outlet 23 gentler and improving the user experience. On the other hand, since the ventilation plate 32 covers the side air outlet 23, it can prevent external dust or foreign objects from entering the housing 1, meaning the ventilation plate 32 has a certain dustproof effect, thereby improving the reliability of the air conditioner's operation.

[0072] Optionally, such as Figure 7 As shown, the airflow guide 3 includes a guide fan 33, which is located at the side air outlet 23. The guide fan 33 can guide the airflow discharged from the side air outlet 23 so that the airflow can diffuse in all directions, thereby improving the diffusion effect of the airflow at the side air outlet 23 and increasing the air supply range.

[0073] For example, the deflector fan 33 has deflector blades that can rotate relative to the air guide plate 2 under the action of airflow. That is to say, the deflector fan 33 is a non-powered fan. When airflow blows over the deflector blades, the deflector blades can rotate relative to the air guide plate 2, thereby guiding the airflow to improve the diffusion effect of the airflow and increase the air delivery range.

[0074] The rotation axis of the guide vanes is roughly parallel to the length direction of the guide plate 2 to improve the air outlet effect of the side outlet 23.

[0075] In other examples, the guide vanes are fixed relative to the air guide plate 2. The guide vanes can be in the form of a guide grille or a fixed fan-shaped structure. When airflow passes over the guide vanes, it is guided to a designated area in the room by the outer wall of the guide vanes, thereby improving the air delivery effect of the air conditioner.

[0076] like Figure 7 As shown, the number of guide fans 33 can be one or more. For example, in this embodiment of the invention, there are three guide fans 33, which are arranged at intervals at the side air outlet 23. The guide fans 33 can be connected to the air guide plate 2, thereby facilitating the assembly and processing of the guide fans 33.

[0077] like Figure 1 As shown, another embodiment of the air conditioner of the present invention includes the housing assembly of the present invention.

[0078] According to the embodiments of the present invention, in the air conditioner, since at least one end of the air guide plate 2 in the length direction forms a side air outlet 23 with the housing 1, and the air inside the housing 1 exits from the side air outlet 23, the side air outlet 23 does not need to occupy the volume of the heat exchange air duct inside the air conditioner. In addition, since the air outlet cross-sectional area of ​​the side air outlet 23 satisfies the above-mentioned ratio range when the air guide plate 2 is in the first position, it can ensure that the air conditioner can normally exit the side air in the first position, and can also avoid the problem that the user can directly observe the internal components of the housing 1 from the side of the air conditioner due to the excessively large air outlet cross-sectional area of ​​the side air outlet 23. This is beneficial to improving the overall appearance of the housing assembly and making the user experience better.
