Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of air conditioner technology, specifically to an air guide plate assembly and an air conditioner assembly. Background Technology

[0002] In some areas, to ensure the uniformity or aesthetics of houses, it is mandatory to cover the outdoor unit of the air conditioner with an outer cover to hide the outdoor unit and prevent it from affecting the appearance of the house. However, with this setting, the airflow discharged from the outdoor unit is directly discharged into the outer cover, and the airflow will diffuse inside the outer cover, which will greatly change the temperature inside the outer cover and thus affect the heat exchange efficiency of the air conditioner.

[0003] However, if an air guide plate assembly is installed at the air outlet to guide the airflow to the outside of the cover, there is a problem with the inconvenience of installing the air guide plate assembly. Utility Model Content

[0004] This application provides an air guide plate assembly and an air conditioner assembly, which aim to improve the heat exchange effect of existing air conditioners and the ease of installation of the air guide plate assembly.

[0005] On one hand, embodiments of this application provide an air guide plate assembly for installation at the air outlet of an outdoor unit, wherein the outdoor unit is installed inside an outer casing, comprising:

[0006] Multiple air guide vanes define an air guide channel for guiding airflow from at least one air outlet of the outdoor unit to the outside of the casing; and,

[0007] An installation structure is provided on the air guide plate, and the installation structure is used to mate with the holes of the outdoor unit for installation.

[0008] In some embodiments, the plurality of air guide plates include a first air guide plate and two side air guide plates;

[0009] The first air guide plate is used to be installed on the top wall of the air outlet of the outdoor unit, and the two side air guide plates are respectively located at both ends of the first air guide plate in the length direction.

[0010] In some embodiments, the side air guide plate includes an overlapping portion and a guide portion arranged sequentially along its width direction;

[0011] When the side air guide plate is installed on the outdoor unit, the overlapping portion is used to overlap with the outdoor unit in the thickness direction of the side air guide plate. The mounting structure is provided on the overlapping portion to cooperate with the holes on the side of the outdoor unit for installation. The guide portion defines the air guide channel to guide the airflow from the rear air outlet of the outdoor unit.

[0012] In some embodiments, the mounting structure includes a hook that protrudes from the overlapping portion on the side facing the air guide channel.

[0013] In some embodiments, the hook includes a connecting section, a clamping section, and a guide section arranged sequentially along its length; the connecting section is used for connecting the overlapping portion, and the clamping section and the guide section are spaced apart from the overlapping portion in the thickness direction of the side air guide plate to form a clamping channel for clamping the hole wall of the outdoor unit;

[0014] The opening of the clamping channel located in the guide portion is flared.

[0015] In some embodiments, the mounting structure includes mounting holes, which are aligned with at least one of the holes when the side air guide plate is mounted on the outdoor unit, so that a connector can extend from the mounting hole into the hole.

[0016] In some embodiments, the outdoor unit includes a rear air outlet and a side air outlet. When the side air guide plate is installed on the outdoor unit, the air guide channel defined by the plurality of air guide plates is aligned with the rear air outlet to guide the airflow from the rear air outlet to the outside of the casing.

[0017] When the side air guide plate is installed on the outdoor unit, the overlapping portion of at least one of the side air guide plates covers the side air outlet of the outdoor unit to block the side air outlet.

[0018] In some embodiments, one of the first air guide plate and the side air guide plate is provided with a slot, and the other is provided with a buckle; and / or,

[0019] The first air guide plate and the side air guide plate are connected by threads.

[0020] In some embodiments, the air guide plate has an overlapping portion, which is used to overlap with the outdoor unit in the thickness direction of the air guide plate when the air guide plate is installed on the outdoor unit, and sound-absorbing sponge is provided on the overlapping portion.

[0021] On the other hand, embodiments of this application provide an air conditioner assembly, including:

[0022] An air conditioner, wherein the outdoor unit of the air conditioner is provided with an air outlet; and,

[0023] An air guide plate assembly is installed at the air outlet of the outdoor unit, and the air guide plate assembly is any of the air guide plate assemblies described above.

[0024] This application embodiment uses multiple air guide plates to define an air guide channel, thereby guiding the airflow from the outdoor unit's air outlet out of the casing. This prevents the airflow from lingering and diffusing inside the casing and also prevents the airflow from directly flowing into the air conditioner's interior from the outdoor unit's air inlet. This improves the heat exchange efficiency of the outdoor unit. Furthermore, the installation structure is designed to fit into the holes of the outdoor unit without requiring any changes to the existing outdoor unit structure. This allows the air guide plate assembly to be directly installed on existing outdoor units, and users can simply purchase the assembly and install it themselves, greatly simplifying the installation process.

It should be understood that those skilled in the art will recognize that this application can be made without using these specific details. In other instances, well-known structures and processes are not described in detail to avoid obscuring the description of this application with unnecessary detail. Therefore, this application is not intended to be limited to the embodiments shown, but is consistent with the broadest scope of the principles and features disclosed in this application.

[0040] Please see Figure 1 In some regions, to ensure the uniformity or aesthetics of buildings, it is mandatory to cover the outdoor unit of the air conditioner with an outer cover 200mm to hide the outdoor unit and prevent it from affecting the appearance of the building. However, with this setup, the airflow discharged from the outdoor unit is directly discharged into the outer cover, where it diffuses and significantly alters the temperature, thus affecting the heat exchange efficiency of the air conditioner. On the other hand, if an air guide plate is installed at the air outlet to guide the airflow outside the outer cover 200mm, there is the problem of inconvenient installation of the air guide plate.

[0041] For this, please refer to Figures 2 to 7 This application provides an air guide plate assembly 20 for installation at the air outlet 11 of an outdoor unit. The air guide plate assembly 20 includes multiple air guide plates and an installation structure 30. The multiple air guide plates define an air guide channel 23, which is used to guide the airflow from at least one air outlet 11 of the outdoor unit to the outside of the cover. The installation structure 30 is disposed on the air guide plates and is used to be installed in conjunction with the holes of the outdoor unit.

[0042] It should be noted that the specific implementation form of the outdoor unit is not limited. When the air conditioner 10 is a split-type air conditioner, such as a floor-standing unit or a wall-mounted unit, the outdoor unit refers to the independent outdoor unit of the air conditioner 10. When the air conditioner 10 is an integrated air conditioner, the outdoor unit refers to the part of the integrated air conditioner installed outdoors, and so on. No limitation is made here. The air guide duct 23 is used to guide the airflow flowing out of at least one air outlet 11 of the outdoor unit. When the outdoor unit only has a rear air outlet 13 located at the rear, the air guide duct 23 can be set to correspond to the rear air outlet 13. Of course, when the outdoor unit only has a side air outlet 12 located on the side, the air guide duct 23 can be set to correspond to the side air outlet 12. When the outdoor unit has both a rear air outlet 13 and a side air outlet 12, it can only guide the airflow of the rear air outlet 13, or only guide the airflow of the side air outlet 12, or guide the airflow of both the rear air outlet 13 and the side air outlet 12, and so on. No limitation is made here.

[0043] The specific installation method between multiple air guide plates is not limited; it can be snap-fit, screw-fit, welding, etc. Of course, in some embodiments, multiple air guide plates can also be designed as a single unit, which is not limited here.

[0044] The specific implementation of the mounting structure 30 is not limited. It can be in the form of a hook 31, which can be installed by matching the hook 31 with the hole of the outdoor unit, so that the air guide plate assembly can be directly hung on the outdoor unit. Of course, it can also be in the form of a pin, which can be inserted into the hole so that the air guide plate assembly 20 can be inserted and installed on the outdoor unit, etc. There are no limitations here.

[0045] It should be emphasized that since the mounting structure 30 is designed to fit with the holes of the outdoor unit, there is no need to set up a corresponding fitting structure for the existing outdoor unit. Therefore, there is no need to modify the structure of the existing air conditioner 10 to install the air guide plate assembly 20, which saves development and modification costs.

[0046] This embodiment of the application sets up multiple air guide plates, which define an air guide channel 23. The air guide channel 23 can be used to guide the airflow from the air outlet 11 of the outdoor unit, so that the airflow flows directly out of the outer cover 200, avoiding the airflow from staying inside the outer cover 200. It can also prevent the airflow from the air outlet 11 of the outdoor unit from flowing directly into the air conditioner 10 from the air inlet of the outdoor unit, thereby improving the heat exchange effect of the outdoor unit. In addition, the mounting structure 30 is used to fit with the holes of the outdoor unit for installation, without the need to change the existing structure of the outdoor unit. This allows the air guide plate assembly 20 to be directly installed on the existing outdoor unit. Users can simply purchase the air guide plate assembly 20 and install it themselves, which improves the ease of installation of the air guide plate assembly 20.

[0047] Specifically, the shape of the multiple air guide plates is not limited; they can be arranged to form a frame, with the air guide channel 23 defined in the middle of the frame. Please refer to the relevant documentation for more details. Figures 3 to 6 In one embodiment, there may be multiple air guide plates including a first air guide plate 21 and two side air guide plates 22; the first air guide plate 21 is used to be installed on the top wall of the air outlet 11 of the outdoor unit, and the two side air guide plates 22 are respectively disposed at both ends of the first air guide plate 21 in the length direction.

[0048] In the solution of this embodiment, by setting a first air guide plate 21, which is installed on the top wall of the air outlet 11 of the outdoor unit, the upward flow of the air outlet 11 can be prevented from flowing back to the air inlet of the outdoor unit. By setting two side air guide plates 22, the two side air guide plates 22 can block the airflow from the air outlet 11 from spreading out toward the side of the air conditioner 10.

[0049] The specific form of the air guide plate is not limited; it can be a plastic sheet, a sheet metal part, etc., and is not limited here. In one embodiment, the air guide plate is a sheet metal part. Sheet metal parts have the advantages of being easy to form and having high strength. When the air guide plate is constructed using sheet metal parts, the long-term reliability of the air guide plate can be improved.

[0050] It should be emphasized that the specific location of the installation structure 30 is not limited. It can be installed on the first air guide plate 21 or on the side air guide plate 22. It can be located inside or outside the air guide channel 23. No limitation is made here.

[0051] Please refer to this carefully. Figure 4 and Figure 6 In some embodiments, the side air guide plate 22 includes an overlapping portion 221 and a guide portion 222 arranged sequentially along its width direction; when the side air guide plate 22 is installed on the outdoor unit, the overlapping portion 221 is used to overlap with the outdoor unit in the thickness direction of the side air guide plate 22, the mounting structure 30 is disposed on the overlapping portion 221 to cooperate with the hole on the side of the outdoor unit for installation, and the guide portion 222 defines the air guide channel 23 to guide the airflow flowing out of the rear air outlet 13 of the outdoor unit.

[0052] It should be noted that the main air outlet 11 of the existing outdoor unit is located at the rear of the outdoor unit, and it is generally provided with holes on the side, such as at the side air inlet or return air outlet. In addition, some outdoor units may also have a side air outlet 12, and corresponding holes are also provided at the side air outlet 12.

[0053] In the solution of this embodiment, by setting the mounting structure 30 on the side air guide plate 22, it can be matched with most existing air conditioners 10 with holes on the side, thereby improving the versatility of the air guide plate assembly 20.

[0054] If the mounting structure 30 is located in the guide section 222, part of the mounting structure 30 may be located inside the air guide channel 23, which may affect the airflow. If the mounting structure 30 is located on the side of the guide section 222 outside the air guide channel 23, then the mounting structure 30 will inevitably need to have a large area to connect with the outdoor unit.

[0055] Therefore, in this embodiment, the mounting structure 30 is mounted on the overlapping part 221. On the one hand, it can not affect the airflow in the air guide channel 23. On the other hand, since the overlapping part 221 overlaps with the outdoor unit in the thickness direction of the side air guide plate 22, the overlapping part 221 is close to the outdoor unit, so the overall area occupied by the mounting structure 30 can be made very small.

[0056] In a further embodiment, the mounting structure 30 includes a hook 31 that protrudes from the overlapping portion 221 on the side facing the airflow channel 23.

[0057] In the actual installation process, when the user places the air guide plate assembly 20 from top to bottom, the installation and matching of the hook 31 and the hole can be completed, thereby improving the ease of installation of the air guide plate assembly 20.

[0058] Specifically, the number of hooks 31 is not limited. There may be only one or multiple hooks. They may be set on only one side guide plate 22 or on both side guide plates 22, etc. There are no limitations here. Specifically, in one embodiment, two hooks 31 are set on each of the two side guide plates 22.

[0059] The specific shape of the hook 31 is not limited; it can be a curved hook, a straight hook, etc., and is not limited here.

[0060] Please refer to this carefully. Figure 7 In one embodiment, the hook 31 includes a connecting section 311, a clamping section 312, and a guide section 313 arranged sequentially along its length; the connecting section 311 is used to connect the overlapping portion 221, and the clamping section 312 and the guide section 313 are spaced apart from the overlapping portion 221 in the thickness direction of the side air guide plate 22 to form a clamping channel 314 for clamping the hole wall of the outdoor unit; the opening of the clamping channel 314 located in the portion of the guide portion 222 is flared.

[0061] In the scheme of this embodiment, by having the clamping section 312 and the guide section 313 and the overlapping part 221 spaced apart in the thickness direction of the side air guide plate 22, a clamping channel 314 for clamping the hole wall of the outdoor unit is formed, so that the clamping channel 314 can clamp the hole wall of the outdoor unit and realize the installation between the two. By setting the opening of the clamping channel 314 to be flared, the hole wall of the outdoor unit can be more easily entered into the clamping channel 314. When the user installs the air guide plate assembly 20 from top to bottom, the hook 31 can be more easily entered into the hole, thereby realizing the installation of the two together.

[0062] Specifically, there are no restrictions on how the flare is formed. For example, the thickness of the guide section 313 can be made thinner than the thickness of the clamping section 312, so that the width of the clamping channel 314 at the part of the guide section 313 is larger, thus forming a flare. Alternatively, the guide section 313 and the clamping section can be set at an angle, so that the width of the clamping channel 314 at the part of the guide section 313 is set outward.

[0063] More specifically, when the two are set at an angle, the angle between them should not be too large or too small. The specific range can be set between 120° and 170°, so as to make the fit between the hook 31 and the hole smoother.

[0064] Of course, in some embodiments, the mounting structure 30 includes a mounting hole 32, which is aligned with at least one hole when the side air guide plate 22 is installed on the outdoor unit, so that the connector can extend into the hole from the mounting hole 32.

[0065] In the solution of this embodiment, by providing mounting hole 32, when mounting hole 32 is aligned with hole, the connector can be inserted into mounting hole 32 and hole in sequence to achieve positioning.

[0066] It should be noted that the specific form of the connector is not limited. It can be in the form of a pin, a screw, etc. There is no limitation here. The connector can be part of the air guide plate assembly and sold together with multiple air guide plates, or it can be sold separately. There is no limitation here.

[0067] The two options for mounting holes 32 and hooks 31 can be chosen to be used, or both can be used; this is not limited here. When both are used, the air guide plate assembly 20 can be first hung on the outdoor unit using hooks 31 to achieve coarse positioning of the air guide plate. Then, the connector can be passed through the mounting hole 32 and inserted into the hole to achieve fine positioning of the air guide plate assembly 20. This setup is simple to install and has good reliability.

[0068] Furthermore, the hook 31 and the connector can limit the air guide plate assembly 20 in different dimensions. For example, after the connector is inserted into the hole, it can limit the air guide plate vertically. At this time, the hook 31 can limit the air guide plate in the front-back direction or the left-right direction. Thus, the combination of the two can achieve a better limiting effect on the air guide plate.

[0069] It should be noted that the outdoor unit may only have a rear air outlet 13. Of course, in some embodiments, the heat exchanger on the outdoor side may also be set to an L-shape, with part of the heat exchanger located on the side of the outdoor unit. Correspondingly, a side air outlet 12 may also be opened in this case. However, the distance between the side air outlet 12 and the air inlet of the outdoor unit is relatively close, and the airflow flowing out of the side air outlet 12 is likely to flow directly back to the air inlet of the outdoor unit.

[0070] Please refer to this carefully. Figure 3 and Figure 5In some embodiments, the outdoor unit has both a side air outlet 12 and a rear air outlet 13. Correspondingly, when the side air guide plate 22 is installed on the outdoor unit, the air guide channel 23 defined by the multiple air guide plates is aligned with the rear air outlet 13 to guide the airflow from the rear air outlet 13 to the outside of the cover 200.

[0071] Furthermore, at least one side of the air guide plate 22 overlaps 221 and covers the side air outlet 12 of the outdoor unit to block the side air outlet 12. With this arrangement, the side air outlet 12 can be blocked by the overlap 221 of the side air guide plate 22, so that the airflow can flow out from the rear air outlet 13 as much as possible and be guided by the air guide channel 23, so as to prevent the airflow from the air outlet 11 from flowing back into the air conditioner 10 from the air inlet of the outdoor unit.

[0072] The installation method between the first air guide plate 21 and the side air guide plate 22 is not limited. In some embodiments, one of the first air guide plate 21 and the side air guide plate 22 is provided with a slot and the other is provided with a buckle 42.

[0073] In the solution of this embodiment, by setting the slot and the buckle 42, when installing the first air guide plate 21 and the side air guide plate 22, the buckle 42 and the slot are directly snapped together to complete the installation of the two, and the installation method is simple.

[0074] In some embodiments, the first air guide plate 21 and the side air guide plate 22 are connected by threads. Specifically, threaded holes can be opened in both the first air guide plate 21 and the side air guide plate 22, and then they can be connected by screws 43 to achieve a fixed fit between them.

[0075] It should be noted that the slot and buckle 42, as well as the threaded connection, are two technical solutions that can be set separately or both can be set. There is no limitation here. In one embodiment, the first air guide plate 21 and the side air guide plate 22 are provided with a slot and a buckle 42 respectively; and the first air guide plate 21 and the side air guide plate 22 are connected by threads.

[0076] In the solution of this embodiment, during the installation process, the first air guide plate 21 and the side air guide plate 22 can be coarsely positioned first by using the buckle 42 and the slot, and then the two can be finely positioned by using the threaded connection, which improves the simplicity and stability of the assembly process.

[0077] Furthermore, it should be emphasized that in these embodiments, by setting the connection between the first air guide plate 21 and the side air guide plate 22 to a detachable connection, the phenomenon of resonance between the air guide plate assembly 20 and the air conditioner 10 is effectively avoided, thereby reducing the noise of the air conditioner 10.

[0078] In addition, since there may be a certain gap when multiple air guide plates are installed on the outdoor unit, the air guide plates are prone to collision with the air conditioner 10 and generate noise. Therefore, the air guide plate has an overlapping part 221. When the air guide plate is installed on the outdoor unit, the overlapping part 221 is used to overlap with the outdoor unit in the thickness direction of the air guide plate. Sound-absorbing sponge is provided on the overlapping part 221.

[0079] In the solution of this embodiment, by setting sound-absorbing sponge, on the one hand, the original noise of the air conditioner 10 can be absorbed, and on the other hand, the sound-absorbing sponge can fill the gaps and play a role in buffering and reducing noise when the air guide plate moves.

[0080] It should be noted that in some embodiments, the thickness of the sound-absorbing sponge can be set to be larger than the gap. For example, if the gap is 0.5 mm and the thickness of the sound-absorbing sponge is 3 mm, the interference fit of the gap can effectively reduce the relative movement of the air guide plate and the air conditioner 10, thereby achieving noise reduction. Specifically, when multiple air guide plates include a first air guide plate 21 and a side air guide plate 22, the overlapping portion 221 can be the part where the first air guide plate 21 overlaps with the air conditioner 10, or it can be the part where the side air guide plate 22 overlaps with the air conditioner 10; no limitation is made here.

[0081] This utility model also proposes an air conditioner assembly 100, which includes an air conditioner 10 and an air guide plate assembly 20. The outdoor unit has an air outlet 11. The air guide plate assembly 20 is installed at the air outlet 11 of the outdoor unit. The specific structure of the air guide plate assembly 20 is as described in the above embodiments. Since this air conditioner assembly 100 adopts all the technical solutions of all the above embodiments, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought about by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be described in detail here.

[0082] The air guide plate assembly and air conditioner assembly provided in the embodiments of this application have been described in detail above. Specific examples have been used to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of this application. The description of the above embodiments is only for the purpose of helping to understand the method and core ideas of this application. At the same time, for those skilled in the art, there will be changes in the specific implementation methods and application scope based on the ideas of this application. Therefore, the content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation of this application.
