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 and affecting the airflow effect at the air outlet. 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, thereby improving the air outlet effect and providing 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; an air guide plate movably connected to the housing, wherein at least one end of the air guide plate along its length direction forms a side air outlet with the housing; and a flow guide member disposed at the side air outlet for guiding the airflow blown from the side air outlet to a set area.

[0007] According to the housing assembly of the present invention, since at least one end of the air guide plate along its length 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 guide is located at the side air outlet and is used to guide the airflow blown from the side air outlet to a designated area, the air guide can organize and guide the airflow blown from the side air outlet to the location required by the user, thereby improving the airflow effect and providing a better user experience.

[0008] In some embodiments, the air guide includes a first air guide plate disposed at the side air outlet, which divides the side air outlet into at least two air guide zones. Thus, the air discharged from the side air outlet can enter different air guide zones and then be guided out of the housing by the air guide zones, thereby improving the diffusion effect of the air discharged from the side air outlet and increasing the air delivery range.

[0009] In some embodiments, the first guide vane extends along the width direction of the air guide plate, and the first guide vane protrudes in a direction away from the air guide plate, or the first guide vane protrudes in a direction close to the air guide plate. Since the first guide vane extends along the width direction of the air guide plate, its length can be increased within the limited space of the side air outlet, thereby enhancing its airflow guiding effect. On the other hand, since the first guide vane is an exposed structural component, and is generally arc-shaped with the arc protruding in a direction towards or away from the air guide plate, its appearance is aesthetically pleasing, enhancing the overall integrity of the installation structure.

[0010] In some embodiments, the first guide vane is connected to the air guide vane. Compared to integrating the first guide vane onto the housing, this method facilitates the manufacturing of both the first guide vane and the air guide vane.

[0011] In some embodiments, the outer periphery of the side air outlet includes a first profile defined by the air guide plate and a second profile defined by the housing. The flow guiding area includes a first flow guiding area and a second flow guiding area. The first flow guiding area is enclosed by the first air guide plate along one side of its thickness direction and the first profile, and the second flow guiding area is enclosed by the first air guide plate along the other side of its thickness direction and the second profile. This simplifies the connection structure between the housing and the air guide plate, eliminates the need for an extra side air outlet frame, results in a simple overall appearance for the housing assembly, and reduces manufacturing costs.

[0012] In some embodiments, the airflow guide further includes a second airflow guide plate, which is disposed within at least one of the first airflow guide area and the second airflow guide area. By providing the second airflow guide plate, the housing assembly of this embodiment can further improve the airflow diffusion effect at the side outlet position and increase the airflow range.

[0013] In some embodiments, there are multiple second guide vanes, which are arranged at intervals in the first guide zone. On the one hand, this can improve the airflow guidance and diffusion effect in the first guide zone and increase the air supply range. On the other hand, since the second guide vanes are located in the first guide zone, it is convenient to assemble and process the first guide vane, the second guide vane, and the air guide plate.

[0014] In some embodiments, the air guide further includes a ventilation plate with multiple ventilation 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 dust protection and improving the reliability of the air conditioner.

[0015] In some embodiments, the airflow guide includes a guide fan disposed at the side air outlet. The guide fan thus guides 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 21 and increasing the air delivery range.

[0016] In some embodiments, the air guide fan has guide vanes that can rotate relative to the air guide plate under the action of airflow. When airflow blows over the guide vanes, the guide vanes can rotate relative to the air guide plate, thereby guiding the airflow to improve the airflow diffusion effect and increase the air delivery range.

[0017] In some embodiments, the guide vanes are fixed relative to the air guide plate. The fixed guide vanes can direct airflow to a designated area within the room, thereby improving the air delivery efficiency of the air conditioner. Furthermore, they are simple to manufacture and have a long service life.

[0018] In some embodiments, the flow guide is disposed on the air guide plate; or, the flow guide is disposed on the housing; or, some of the flow guides are disposed on the housing, and other parts of the flow guides are disposed on the air guide plate. The housing assembly of this embodiment of the invention, by connecting the flow guides in the above manner, simplifies the arrangement of the flow guides. Compared to the evaporator solution that integrates the flow guides into the housing, it facilitates the assembly and manufacturing of the flow guides.

[0019] In some embodiments, the air guide plate is movable between a first position and a second position. In the first position, at least one end of the air guide plate in the longitudinal 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 from at least one end of the air guide plate in the longitudinal direction and from at least one side of the air guide plate in the width direction. Because at least one end of the air guide plate in the longitudinal direction forms a side air outlet with the housing, the side air outlet does not occupy the volume of the heat exchange duct inside the air conditioner. Moreover, in the first position, the airflow flows from back to front and exits through the side air outlet, achieving side air outlet of the air conditioner while maintaining the volume of the heat exchange duct inside the air conditioner.

[0020] In some embodiments, the air guide plate is provided with a through hole extending along its thickness direction. Thus, regardless of whether the air guide plate is in the first position or the second position, a portion of the air discharged from the air outlet can be discharged through the through hole, thereby improving the flexibility of the airflow from the air conditioner and making the airflow effect gentler.

[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 another embodiment of the air conditioner of this utility model, since at least one end of the air guide plate along its length 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 guide is located at the side air outlet and is used to guide the airflow blown from the side air outlet to a designated area, the air guide can organize and guide the airflow blown from the side air outlet to the location required by the user, thereby improving the airflow effect and providing a better user experience.

[0040] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are shown 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.

[0041] The following is a reference appendix. Figures 1 to 11C This invention describes a housing assembly and an air conditioner according to embodiments of the present invention.

[0042] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the housing assembly of this utility model embodiment includes: housing 1, air guide plate 2 and flow guide 3. Housing 1 is provided with air outlet 11. Air guide plate 2 is movably connected to housing 1. At least one end of air guide plate 2 along its length direction forms a side air outlet 21 with housing 1. Flow guide 3 is provided at the side air outlet 21 and is used to guide the airflow blown from the side air outlet 21 to a set area.

[0043] According to the housing assembly of the present invention, since at least one end of the air guide plate 2 along its length direction forms a side air outlet 21 with the housing 1, and the air inside the housing 1 is discharged from the side air outlet 21, the side air outlet 21 does not need to occupy the volume of the heat exchange duct inside the air conditioner. In addition, since the air guide 3 is provided at the side air outlet 21 and is used to guide the airflow blown from the side air outlet 21 to a set area, the air guide 3 can sort and guide the airflow blown from the side air outlet 21 to the position required by the user, thereby improving the air outlet effect and providing a better user experience.

[0044] like Figure 1 As 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, that is, the length direction of the air guide plate 2 is consistent with the left and right direction of the housing 1 (air conditioner).

[0045] Optionally, the air guide plate 2 is movable 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 21 with the housing 1, and the air inside the housing 1 exits from the side air outlet 21. In the second position, the air inside the housing 1 exits from at least one end of the air guide plate 2 in the length direction and from at least one side of the air guide plate 2 in the width direction. It can be understood that when the air guide plate 2 is in the first position, the air guide plate 2 can block the position of 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 from the side air outlet 21. When the air guide plate 2 is in the second position, the air guide plate 2 is spaced apart from the air outlet 11. At this time, part of the air inside the housing 1 is discharged from the air outlet 11 of the housing 1, and the other part is discharged from the side air outlet 21. The air discharged from 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.

[0046] 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 only 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 21 can still produce air normally.

[0047] 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 to exit from the air 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 air outlet 11. At least one end of the air guide plate 2 along its length forms a side air outlet 21 with the housing 1, allowing the airflow to exit from the side air outlet 21 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 21, achieving front or side airflow from the air conditioner.

[0048] 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 21 with the housing 1; or the right end of the air guide plate 2 forms a side air outlet 21 with the housing 1; or the left end of the air guide plate 2 forms a side air outlet 21 with the housing 1, and the right end of the air guide plate 2 forms a side air outlet 21 with the housing 1.

[0049] Understandably, since at least one end of the air guide plate 2 forms a side air outlet 21 with the housing 1 along its length, the side air outlet 21 does not occupy the volume of the heat exchange duct inside the air conditioner. Moreover, with the air guide plate 2 in the first position, the airflow flows from back to front and exits through the side air outlet 21, achieving side airflow from the air conditioner while maintaining the volume of the heat exchange duct inside the air conditioner. In addition, the air guide 3 can sort and guide the airflow discharged from the side air outlet 21. On the one hand, it can reduce turbulence at the side air outlet 21 and reduce airflow resistance. On the other hand, it can guide the airflow, which is beneficial to increasing the air supply range or air supply distance of the side air outlet 21, thereby meeting the air supply needs of the air conditioner in different operating modes.

[0050] Optionally, such as Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the airflow guide 3 includes a first airflow guide plate 31, which is disposed at the side air outlet 21. The first airflow guide plate 31 divides the side air outlet 21 into at least two airflow guide zones 22. It can be understood that the first airflow guide plate 31 can divide the side air outlet 21 into two or more airflow guide zones 22. The air discharged from the side air outlet 21 can enter different airflow guide zones 22, and then be guided out of the housing 1 by the airflow guide zones 22. This improves the diffusion effect of the air discharged from the side air outlet 21 and increases the air delivery range.

[0051] The air outlet direction of different guide zones 22 can be the same or different, and this utility model does not limit this.

[0052] For example, the first guide vane 31 extends along the width direction of the air guide vane 2, and the first guide vane 31 protrudes in a direction away from the air guide vane 2, or the first guide vane 31 protrudes in a direction close to the air guide vane 2. Since the first guide vane 31 extends along the width direction of the air guide vane 2, the length of the first guide vane 31 can be increased within the limited space of the side air outlet 21, so as to enhance the air guiding effect of the first guide vane 31.

[0053] On the other hand, since the first guide plate 31 is an exposed structural component, and the first guide plate 31 is generally arc-shaped, with the arc protruding towards or away from the air guide plate 2, the appearance of the first guide plate 31 can be made beautiful, and the overall integrity of the installation structure of the first guide plate 31 can be enhanced.

[0054] The first guide plate 31 is connected to the air guide plate 2. Compared with the solution of integrating the first guide plate 31 onto the housing 1, it is easier to process and manufacture the first guide plate 31 and the air guide plate 2. For example, the first guide plate 31 and the air guide plate 2 can be injection molded as a single piece.

[0055] In some examples, such as Figure 4 As shown, there are multiple first air deflectors 31, which are arranged at intervals at the side air outlet 21. This divides the side air outlet 21 into multiple air deflection zones 22, thereby further increasing the air outlet range of the side air outlet 21 and reducing the discomfort caused by the side air outlet 21 blowing directly on the user.

[0056] Optionally, such as Figure 3 As shown, the outer periphery of the side air outlet 21 includes a first profile portion 23 defined by the air guide plate 2 and a second profile portion 12 defined by the housing 1. It can be understood that the outer periphery of the side air outlet 21 is jointly 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, eliminates the need for an extra side air outlet frame, results in a simple overall appearance for the housing assembly, and reduces manufacturing costs.

[0057] like Figure 7 As shown, the airflow guiding zone 22 includes a first airflow guiding zone 221 and a second airflow guiding zone 222. The first airflow guiding zone 221 is enclosed by the first guide plate 31 along one side of its thickness direction and the first contour portion 23, and the second airflow guiding zone 222 is enclosed by the first guide plate 31 along the other side of its thickness direction and the second contour portion 12. Thus, the air discharged from the side outlet 21 can enter the first airflow guiding zone 221 and the second airflow guiding zone 222 respectively, and then be guided out of the housing 1 by the first airflow guiding zone 221 and the second airflow guiding zone 222. This improves the diffusion effect of the air discharged from the side outlet 21 and increases the air supply range.

[0058] Optionally, such as Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the airflow guide 3 also includes a second airflow guide plate 32, which is disposed within at least one of the first airflow guide region 221 and the second airflow guide region 222. For example, the second airflow guide plate 32 may be disposed in the first airflow guide region 221. Another example is that the second airflow guide plate 32 may be disposed in the second airflow guide region 222. Yet another example is that part of the second airflow guide plate 32 is disposed in the first airflow guide region 221, and another part of the airflow guide plate is disposed in the second airflow guide region 222. By providing the second airflow guide plate 32, the housing assembly of this embodiment can further improve the airflow diffusion effect at the side air outlet 21 and increase the air delivery range.

[0059] For example, such as Figure 8 As shown, there are multiple second guide vanes 32, which are arranged at intervals in the first guide zone 221. On the one hand, this can improve the airflow guidance and diffusion effect in the first guide zone 221 and increase the air supply range. On the other hand, since the second guide vanes 32 are located in the first guide zone 221, it is convenient to assemble and process the first guide vane 31, the second guide vane 32 and the air guide plate 2.

[0060] In another example, such as Figure 9 As shown, the air guide 3 also includes a ventilation plate 33, which has multiple ventilation holes 331 extending along its thickness direction, covering the side air outlet 21. On the one hand, the airflow discharged from the side air outlet 21 can be dispersed by the ventilation plate 33, making the airflow from the side air outlet 21 softer and improving the user experience. On the other hand, since the ventilation plate 33 covers the side air outlet 21, it can prevent external dust or foreign objects from entering the housing 1, that is, the ventilation plate 33 has a certain dustproof effect, thereby improving the reliability of the air conditioner.

[0061] In another example, such as Figure 10 As shown, the airflow guide 3 includes a guide fan 34, which is located at the side air outlet 21. The guide fan 34 can guide the airflow discharged from the side air outlet 21 so that the airflow can spread in all directions, thereby improving the airflow diffusion effect at the side air outlet 21 and increasing the air supply range.

[0062] For example, such as Figure 10 As shown, the guide fan 34 has guide vanes that can rotate relative to the air guide plate 2 under the action of airflow. That is to say, the guide fan 34 is a non-powered fan. When the airflow blows over the guide vanes, the guide vanes can rotate relative to the air guide plate 2, thereby guiding the airflow to improve the airflow diffusion effect and increase the air delivery range.

[0063] 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 21.

[0064] 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.

[0065] like Figure 10 As shown, the number of guide fans 34 can be one or more. For example, in this embodiment of the invention, there are three guide fans 34, which are arranged at intervals at the side air outlet 21. The guide fans 34 can be connected to the air guide plate 2, thereby facilitating the assembly and processing of the guide fans 34.

[0066] Optionally, at least a portion of the flow guide 3 is disposed on at least one of the housing 1 and the air guide plate 2. 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 part of the flow guide 3 is disposed on the housing 1, and another part of the flow guide 3 is disposed on the air guide plate 2. By connecting the flow guide 3 in the above manner, the housing assembly of this embodiment of the present invention simplifies the arrangement of the flow guide 3, and compared to the evaporator scheme that integrates the flow guide 3 into the housing 1, it facilitates the assembly and manufacturing of the flow guide 3.

[0067] For example, at least one of the first guide plate 31, the second guide plate 32, the ventilation plate 33, and the guide fan 34 may be disposed on the air guide plate 2 or on the housing 1. Alternatively, a portion of the first guide plate 31, the second guide plate 32, the ventilation plate 33, and the guide fan 34 may be disposed on the air guide plate 2, and another portion may be disposed on the housing 1. This utility model does not limit this.

[0068] In some embodiments, such as Figure 11A , Figure 11B and Figure 11C As shown, the air guide plate 2 has a through hole 24 extending along its thickness direction. Thus, regardless of whether the air guide plate 2 is in the first position or the second position, a portion of the air discharged from the air outlet 11 can be discharged through the through hole 24, thereby improving the flexibility of the air outlet of the air conditioner and making the airflow effect more gentle.

[0069] Optionally, such as Figure 11A and Figure 11BAs shown, there are multiple through holes 24, and these through holes 24 are arranged at intervals. At least a portion of the air guide plate 2 is constructed as a grid section formed by ribs 25, and at least a portion of the through holes 24 are formed by the grid holes of the grid section. Because at least a portion of the air guide plate 2 is constructed as a grid section formed by ribs 25, and at least a portion of the through holes 24 are formed by the grid holes of the grid section, the arrangement density of the through holes 24 can be increased while ensuring that the air guide plate 2 has sufficient structural strength, thereby improving the air outlet effect.

[0070] like Figure 11A and Figure 11B As shown, at least a portion of the stiffeners 25 are straight or curved stiffeners. It is understood that the extension path of the stiffeners 25 can be either straight or curved.

[0071] In one example, such as Figure 11A As shown, all the ribs 25 are straight ribs, and the extension path of the straight ribs has an angle with the width direction of the plate body, that is, the straight ribs are arranged at an angle, which can improve the overall appearance of the air guide plate 2 and facilitate processing and manufacturing.

[0072] In another example, such as Figure 11B As shown, all the ribs 25 are curved ribs. The extension path of the curved ribs can be C-shaped, S-shaped or other curved shapes, which can improve the overall integrity of the air guide plate 2 and make it look beautiful.

[0073] Optionally, such as Figures 11A to 11C As shown, the through hole 24 includes a first through hole 241 and a second through hole 242. The air guide plate 2 includes a grid portion and a non-grid portion. The first through hole 241 is formed by the grid holes in the grid portion, and the second through hole 242 is formed in the non-grid portion. It can be understood that the area on the air guide plate 2 where the second through hole 242 is set is a non-grid structure, that is, the air guide plate 2 has two forms: grid holes (first through hole 241) and non-grid holes (second through hole 242). This can improve the diversity of air outlet of the air guide plate 2, and also has an aesthetically pleasing appearance and good overall integrity.

[0074] like Figure 1 As shown, another embodiment of the air conditioner of the present invention includes the housing assembly of the present invention.

[0075] According to another embodiment of the air conditioner of this utility model, since at least one end of the air guide plate 2 along its length direction forms a side air outlet 21 with the housing 1, and the air inside the housing 1 is discharged from the side air outlet 21, the side air outlet 21 does not need to occupy the volume of the heat exchange air duct inside the air conditioner. In addition, since the guide member 3 is provided at the side air outlet 21 and is used to guide the airflow blown from the side air outlet 21 to a set area, the guide member 3 can sort and guide the airflow blown from the side air outlet 21 to the position required by the user, thereby improving the air outlet effect and providing a better user experience.

[0076] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "center", "longitudinal", "width direction", "length", "width", "thickness", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", "axial", "radial", "circumferential", etc., indicating the orientation or positional relationship are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.

[0077] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. In the description of this utility model, "a plurality of" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0078] In this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "joining," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection, an electrical connection, or a connection that allows communication between them; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components, unless otherwise explicitly limited.
