Abstract
Description
[0001] This application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 202411514814.7, filed on October 28, 2024, entitled "Air Guide Component and Air Handling Equipment", the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field
[0002] This application relates to the field of central air conditioning technology, and in particular to an air conditioning outlet module and a central air conditioning system. Background Technology
[0003] Central air conditioning is a system that uses a single main unit connected to multiple terminal units via ducts or refrigerant pipes to control different rooms and achieve indoor air conditioning. It is suitable for large spaces such as homes and office buildings. However, existing central air conditioning systems have relatively limited air delivery areas and coverage, resulting in room for improvement in comfort. Utility Model Content
[0004] This application provides an air conditioning outlet module and a central air conditioning system. The air conditioning outlet module can expand the air supply area and air supply coverage of the air conditioning outlet, and can improve the overall comfort.
[0005] The first aspect of this application provides an air conditioning outlet module, including: an outer frame that surrounds an air outlet; an air guide plate that is rotatably connected to the outer frame to close or open the air outlet; and an adjustment assembly that includes a movable member and multiple air guide blades. The movable member is connected to a side panel of the air guide plate near the air outlet, and each air guide blade is sequentially disposed on a side panel of the movable member opposite to the air guide plate. The movable member can change position relative to the air guide plate, and each air guide blade can change position relative to the movable member.
[0006] The air conditioning vent module provided in this application includes an outer frame, an air guide plate, and an adjustment component. The outer frame forms the air vent, and the air guide plate is rotatably connected to the outer frame, allowing the air vent to be closed or opened. The adjustment component includes a movable component and multiple air guide blades. The movable component is connected to the side of the air guide plate closest to the air vent, and the air guide blades are sequentially arranged on the side of the movable component facing away from the air guide plate. Furthermore, the movable component and the air guide blades can change position relative to the movable component. Thus, the movable component can extend beyond the air vent through the air guide plate. By changing the relative position between the movable component and the air guide plate, and adjusting the relative position between the air guide blades and the movable component, the air delivery angle of the air conditioning vent module can be flexibly adjusted, expanding the air delivery area covered by the air vent, achieving air delivery over a large indoor area, reducing blind spots, improving indoor temperature uniformity, and ultimately enhancing overall comfort.
[0007] Furthermore, by setting multiple adjustable air guide vanes on the air outlet module's air outlet channel, cold or hot air can be prevented from blowing directly onto the human skin surface through the air guide vanes during air supply, thereby reducing the stimulation of the human body caused by sudden temperature changes and improving human comfort.
[0008] In one possible implementation, when the air outlet is closed, the air guide plate is located inside the outer frame, and both ends of the air guide plate in the length direction are rotatably connected to the inner sidewall of the outer frame.
[0009] In this way, when the air outlet is opened by the air guide plate, the airflow from the outlet is directed to flow out in the direction guided by the air guide plate, and will not flow out through the gap between the air guide plate and the outlet, which would increase energy consumption and affect the cooling or heating effect. At the same time, the embedded design of the air guide plate does not take up additional external space, reducing the overall size of the air conditioner outlet module.
[0010] In one possible implementation, the middle part of the air guide plate in the width direction is connected to the middle part of the outer frame in the width direction.
[0011] By connecting the middle of the air guide plate in the width direction with the middle of the outer frame in the width direction, the air guide plate can guide air upwards or downwards, thus making the adjustment of the opening angle of the air guide plate more flexible and suitable for more application scenarios.
[0012] In one possible implementation, the air guide plate is positioned near the air outlet side of the outer frame.
[0013] In this way, the opening of the air guide plate extends outward from the outer frame, resulting in a larger air outlet area and a wider diffusion area for the air conditioning vent module. It also reduces the space occupied by the air guide plate within the outer frame, preventing increased airflow resistance and reduced airflow performance caused by the air guide plate obstructing the internal air duct.
[0014] In one possible implementation, the air guide plate is connected to the outer frame via a rotating motor, which drives the air guide plate to rotate.
[0015] By using a rotating motor, the air guide plate can be rotated relative to the outer frame quickly without manual adjustment. The rotation angle of the air guide plate relative to the outer frame can be adjusted in a timely, flexible, and accurate manner, thereby adjusting the air delivery angle and direction.
[0016] In one possible implementation, the adjustment component further includes: a first drive component, which is mounted on the air guide plate and drives each air guide blade to change position relative to the moving part.
[0017] The first drive assembly drives the movement of each guide vane on the moving part, causing the position of each guide vane relative to the moving part to change. The angle between each guide vane and the plate surface of the moving part changes in a certain direction, and all guide vanes on the same adjustment assembly deflect uniformly toward one side of the air outlet to adjust the air delivery angle of the guide assembly.
[0018] In one possible implementation, the first drive component also drives the moving part to change position relative to the air guide plate.
[0019] In this way, the first drive component both drives the movement of the guide vanes on the moving part and drives the guide vanes, together with the moving part, to move relative to the guide plate. This makes the adjustment of the air delivery angle of the adjustment component more flexible, further expands the air delivery area, and provides a wider air delivery coverage, enabling air delivery to large areas. At the same time, it can adjust the indoor temperature more quickly, improve the uniformity of indoor temperature, and enhance indoor comfort.
[0020] Furthermore, by using the first drive component to drive both the wind guide vanes and the moving parts, the driving method of the adjustment component is simplified, which can reduce the number of drive components and the space occupied, and help reduce the energy consumption of the adjustment component.
[0021] In one possible implementation, the first drive assembly includes: a drive motor; a transmission member, which is drively connected between the drive motor and the adjustment assembly; wherein the transmission member drives the moving member to move, and one of the drive motor and the transmission member drives each guide vane to oscillate.
[0022] In this way, a single drive motor, in conjunction with a transmission component, drives both the rotation of the guide vanes on the moving component and the movement of the moving component itself. The structure of the first drive assembly is simpler, simplifying the driving method for the moving component and the guide vanes. Furthermore, since there are no other drive components in the first drive assembly, it occupies less space and is lighter, saving space for adjustment components and facilitating the layout design of other components in the air conditioning vent module. This also contributes to the overall lightweight design of the air conditioning vent module. Additionally, using only one drive motor to move the moving component and guide vanes minimizes the number of drive motors required, reducing the energy consumption of the air conditioning vent module.
[0023] In one possible implementation, the transmission component is a gear set, which drives the moving component to swing, thereby changing the angle between the moving component and the length direction of the air guide plate.
[0024] In this way, the drive motor and the moving parts are transmitted through gears. The gear set can drive the moving parts to swing, changing the angle between the moving parts and the length direction of the air guide plate. Furthermore, the gear set has a tight fit and small size, reducing the space occupied by the drive components. In addition, the gear set is a precision transmission method, with high transmission efficiency and accuracy, resulting in higher precision in adjusting the air delivery angle of the air guide component.
[0025] In one possible implementation, the gear set includes: a first gear pair, which is driven by a drive motor; and a second gear pair, which is driven by the first gear pair and a moving member, and drives the moving member to swing; wherein the drive motor or the first gear pair drives each guide vane to swing.
[0026] In this way, during the continuous operation of the drive motor, the drive motor or the first gear pair drives each guide vane to rotate continuously. Furthermore, the power of the drive motor is transmitted to the second gear pair through the first gear pair. By designing the transmission between the first and second gear pairs, it is possible to achieve either the first gear pair transmitting power to the second gear pair or not transmitting power to the second gear pair. Consequently, the second gear pair can either drive the moving parts to move or keep the moving parts stationary.
[0027] In one possible implementation, the motion mode of the first driving component driving the adjustment component includes a first motion mode and a second motion mode; the first motion mode is: the moving part moves and the guide vanes swing; the second motion mode is: the moving part is stationary and the guide vanes swing.
[0028] In this way, the first drive component can drive the moving part and the air guide vanes to move flexibly to meet the needs of different air delivery angles. According to the user's air delivery angle requirements, the first drive component drives the adjustment component to move in a first motion mode or a second motion mode, so as to achieve the desired air delivery angle by rotating the air guide vanes relative to their initial position.
[0029] In one possible implementation, two adjustment components are spaced apart along the length of the air guide plate.
[0030] In this way, the two regulating components can deliver air to different areas, expanding the air delivery area of the regulating components and the air coverage of the air conditioning outlet module. Furthermore, by independently driving the two moving parts and their guide vanes through the two first drive components, the air delivery areas of the two regulating components can be adjusted independently, making the control of the air delivery area of the air conditioning outlet module more flexible. It can also adapt to different environmental needs, ensuring that the airflow blown by the regulating components is utilized more fully and avoiding waste.
[0031] In one possible implementation, in the two adjustment components spaced apart along the length of the air guide plate, the two first drive components are symmetrically arranged with the center line between the two moving parts as the axis of symmetry.
[0032] This design results in better structural symmetry and more balanced stress distribution for the overall regulating components, leading to improved stability and reliability. Furthermore, the air delivery areas of the two regulating components maintain symmetrical coverage, enhancing the versatility of the air conditioning vent module. Additionally, there's no need to differentiate the installation positions of the two regulating components during assembly of the air conditioning vent module, resulting in higher assembly efficiency.
[0033] In one possible implementation, in two adjusting components spaced apart along the length of the air guide plate, the two first driving components are located at opposite ends of the two moving parts.
[0034] In this way, the moving parts and guide vanes can extend more beyond the air outlet, avoiding interference and restriction of the guide vanes by the air duct, and also avoiding blind spots in air supply, thus further expanding the air supply area of the regulating components.
[0035] In one possible implementation, it further includes: a second drive assembly connected between two adjustment assemblies spaced apart along the length of the air guide plate, the second drive assembly simultaneously driving the moving parts in the two adjustment assemblies.
[0036] By setting a first drive component to drive the air guide vanes and a second drive component to drive the moving parts, each of the first and second drive components drives a single moving object. This driving method is relatively simple, and the structural design of both the first and second drive components can also be simplified, reducing design costs. Furthermore, the first and second drive components do not interfere with each other, resulting in higher operational reliability of the air guide component.
[0037] In one possible implementation, the air guide plate has a receiving cavity, and the first drive assembly is disposed within the receiving cavity.
[0038] In this way, the first drive assembly and the air guide vanes are located on opposite sides of the thickness direction of the moving part. The first drive assembly can be directly connected to the moving part, facilitating the drive assembly to drive the moving part and the air guide vanes on the moving part. Furthermore, the first drive assembly does not occupy the space of the moving part on the side where the air guide vanes are located, which can increase the space for the air guide vanes and improve the air guiding effect of the air conditioning outlet module.
[0039] Meanwhile, the cavity within the air guide plate has sufficient space to accommodate the first drive component, which is beneficial for the design and installation of the first drive component. In addition, since the air guide plate can shield the first drive component, it can also improve the appearance of the air conditioning vent module.
[0040] In one possible implementation, the regulating component further includes a linkage that connects all the air guide vanes and drives each air guide vane to move synchronously.
[0041] By configuring the linkage, when the first drive component operates, it can drive the linkage to move. This, in turn, can cause all the guide vanes on the same adjustment component to swing synchronously, improving drive efficiency.
[0042] In one possible implementation, each air guide blade is arranged sequentially along the length of the moving member, and the linkage extends along the length of the moving member and is connected to each air guide blade.
[0043] By aligning the arrangement of the guide vanes on the linkage and moving parts, a stable connection between the linkage and each guide vane can be facilitated.
[0044] In one possible implementation, the linkage is a rack and pinion, and each guide vane has a gear that meshes with the rack and pinion; the rack and pinion move along the arrangement direction of each guide vane to drive each gear to rotate.
[0045] By employing a rack and pinion transmission system, the gear's rotation is not limited by its angle range. As long as the rack is long enough and continuously moving, it can drive the gear to rotate 360°. Therefore, the gear can drive the guide vanes to rotate within a 0° to 360° range, enabling omnidirectional airflow. Furthermore, the rack's linear movement simplifies the transmission, provides a more precise trajectory, and increases the reliability of the guide vane rotation, allowing for more accurate control of the vane's rotation angle.
[0046] In one possible implementation, the guide vane includes a blade body and a rotating shaft, with the rotating shaft located at the end of the blade body facing the moving member, and the rotating shaft being rotatably connected to the moving member.
[0047] In this way, the rotating shaft allows the blade body to be movably connected to the moving part, and can drive the blade body to rotate relative to the moving part.
[0048] In one possible implementation, one side of the central axis of the blade body is a first curved portion, and the side of the first curved portion away from the central axis is a first air guide side. The extension line of the first air guide side has a first angle with the reference plane. The reference plane is the orthographic projection of the blade body and passes through the central axis. When the blade body is perpendicular to the length direction of the air outlet and the first air guide side faces outward from the air outlet, the extension line of the first air guide side extends to the same side of the air outlet.
[0049] In this way, the first bend can generate a Coanda effect in the airflow passing over the surface of the blade body, causing the airflow to flow along the surface of the first bend, thereby changing the direction of the airflow blown out of the air outlet. By making an angle between the extension line of the first air guide side and the reference plane where the blade body is located, the first air guide side can change the air delivery angle of the adjustment component, making the adjustment of the air delivery area of the air guide component more flexible and further expanding the air delivery coverage area of the air conditioning outlet module.
[0050] Furthermore, by extending the extension line of the first air guide side to the same side of the air outlet, the air delivery deflection angle of the first air guide side can be further increased when the air guide blades guide air to the same side of the air outlet. This, in turn, expands the air delivery area of the regulating assembly.
[0051] In one possible implementation, the other side of the central axis of the blade body is a second curved portion, and the side of the second curved portion away from the central axis is a second air guide side. The extension line of the second air guide side has a second included angle with the reference plane. When the blade body is perpendicular to the length direction of the air outlet and the second air guide side faces outward from the air outlet, the extension line of the second air guide side extends to the same side of the air outlet.
[0052] In this way, when the blade body rotates to the outer side of the second curved part near the air outlet and the second air guide side faces the outside of the air outlet, the airflow in the air guide channel flows along the surface of the second curved part. When the airflow is blown to the outside, it can flow along the extension direction of the second air guide side, thereby changing the air delivery direction of the regulating component.
[0053] Furthermore, when the second air guide side faces outward from the air outlet, the air guide blades can further increase their deflection angle when guiding air to the same side of the air outlet. This, in turn, expands the air delivery area of the regulating component.
[0054] In one possible implementation, the angle of the first included angle is greater than the angle of the second included angle.
[0055] In this way, when the first air guide side faces outward from the air outlet, the airflow deflects at a relatively larger angle towards the same side of the air outlet. Conversely, when the second air guide side faces outward from the air outlet, the airflow deflects at a relatively smaller angle towards the same side of the air outlet. Therefore, users can adjust the opening state of the air guide vanes according to actual needs to obtain different air delivery directions and areas. Furthermore, the different structures on both sides of the central axis of the air guide vanes facilitate identification and installation, reducing the probability of rework and scrapping of the adjustment components.
[0056] In one possible implementation, the blade body has several air outlets that penetrate both sides of the blade body in the thickness direction.
[0057] In this way, part of the airflow blown out from inside the outer frame flows outward along the air guide channel formed between adjacent air guide blades, while another part flows outward through the air outlet on the blade body. The interaction of these two airflows can prevent strong winds from being blown out of the air outlet, making the air delivery effect of the air handling equipment gentler and improving the user comfort of the air conditioning outlet module.
[0058] In one possible implementation, at least two adjustment components are arranged sequentially along the width direction of the air guide plate.
[0059] Because a single-layer air guide vane occupies relatively little space, some air may flow directly outward from the space around the vane without being guided. Installing two or more layers of air guide vanes increases the coverage area, enhances the air guiding capacity of the regulating components, and allows for a wider range of air guidance from the air conditioning outlet module.
[0060] A second aspect of this application provides a central air conditioning system, including the air conditioning outlet module as described above.
[0061] The central air conditioning system provided in this application, since it includes the aforementioned air conditioning outlet module, possesses all the technical effects of the air conditioning outlet module, which will not be elaborated here. Attached Figure Description

[0093] As described in the background section, traditional air conditioning equipment typically uses swingable blades within the duct to adjust the airflow angle. For example, horizontally positioned blades swing up and down to achieve vertical airflow, while vertically positioned blades swing left and right to achieve horizontal airflow. The swing angle of all blades is uniformly controlled by a linkage, thereby adjusting the overall airflow area of the air conditioning unit.
[0094] However, the aforementioned method of adjusting the air supply area results in a direct correlation between the size of the air supply area and the size of the air outlet. This leads to a relatively limited air supply area for the air conditioning unit, with a small coverage area, making it impossible to supply air to a large area. Furthermore, because the air guide plate is located inside the air duct and can only deflect at the same rotation angle, blind spots will appear when adjusting the air supply angle, resulting in significant indoor temperature differences and room for improvement in comfort.
[0095] In view of this, this application provides an air conditioning outlet module and a central air conditioning system. The air conditioning outlet module includes an outer frame, an air guide plate, and an adjustment assembly. The outer frame forms the air outlet, and the air guide plate is rotatably connected to the outer frame, allowing the air outlet to be closed or opened. The adjustment assembly includes a movable component and multiple air guide blades. The movable component is connected to the side of the air guide plate closest to the air outlet, and each air guide blade is sequentially disposed on the side of the movable component facing away from the air guide plate. Furthermore, the movable component can change position relative to the air guide plate, and each air guide blade can change position relative to the movable component.
[0096] In this way, the movable component can extend out of the air outlet through the air guide plate. By changing the relative position between the movable component and the air guide plate, and adjusting the relative position between each air guide blade and the movable component, the air delivery angle of the air outlet module can be flexibly adjusted, the air delivery area that the air outlet can cover can be expanded, air delivery can be achieved in a large area of the room, the air delivery blind spot can be reduced, the uniformity of indoor temperature can be improved, and the overall comfort can be improved.
[0097] Furthermore, by setting multiple adjustable air guide vanes on the air outlet module's air outlet channel, cold or hot air can be prevented from blowing directly onto the human skin surface through the air guide vanes during air supply, thereby reducing the stimulation of the human body by sudden temperature changes and improving human comfort.
[0098] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0099] Figure 1 This is a three-dimensional structural diagram of the air conditioner vent module provided in an embodiment of this application in an air vent open state. Figure 2 This is a three-dimensional structural diagram of the air conditioner vent module provided in an embodiment of this application in another vent-open state. Figure 3 This is a three-dimensional structural diagram of the air conditioner outlet module provided in the embodiment of this application in the closed state of the outlet.
[0100] Reference Figures 1-3As shown, the air conditioning outlet module 1 includes an outer frame 10, an air guide plate 20, and an adjustment assembly 30. The outer frame 10 forms an air outlet 11, through which the air conditioning outlet module 1 supplies air to the outside. The air guide plate 20 is rotatably connected to the outer frame 10, and can close or open the air outlet 11, adjusting the air supply direction and area of the air conditioning outlet module 1. For example, the air guide plate 20 can rotate 90 degrees upwards or downwards relative to the outer frame 10 to supply air horizontally, or the air guide plate 20 can be tilted upwards relative to the outer frame 10 (e.g.,...). Figure 1 As shown), to direct airflow towards the top of the room, or the air guide plate 20 may be inclined downwards relative to the outer frame 10 (as shown). Figure 2 As shown), to supply air to the bottom of the indoor space. Alternatively, in the closed state, the air guide plate 20 is parallel to the plane where the air outlet 11 is located and blocks the air outlet 11 (as shown). Figure 3 (As shown).
[0101] It should be noted that the air guide plate 20 can be directly rotatably connected to the outer frame 10, or it can be rotatably connected to the outer frame 10 through other connecting structures; no limitation is made here. Furthermore, the air guide plate 20 can be manually adjusted to rotate relative to the outer frame 10, or its rotation relative to the outer frame 10 can be automatically adjusted by a drive assembly, such as a drive motor, hydraulic motor, or pneumatic motor. No limitation is made here.
[0102] The adjustment assembly 30 may include a movable element 31 and multiple guide vanes 32. The movable element 31 is connected to the side panel of the air guide plate 20 near the air outlet 11. Each guide vane 32 is sequentially disposed on the side panel of the movable element 31 opposite to the air guide plate 20, so that the movable element 31 and the guide vanes 32 are positioned on the air outlet channel, thereby guiding the airflow direction. It can be understood that the air outlet channel is a channel through which the airflow inside the outer frame 10 can flow outward along the side panel of the air guide plate 20 near the air outlet 11 after the air outlet 11 is opened.
[0103] When the air guide plate 20 is tilted upward relative to the outer frame 10, such as Figure 1 As shown, the airflow inside the outer frame 10 flows outward and upward along the side of the air guide plate 20 near the air outlet 11, and flows outward under the guidance of the moving part 31 and the air guide blade 32. At this time, the air conditioning outlet module 1 is in the sky curtain wind mode, which can be applied to cooling scenarios.
[0104] In Sky Curtain Wind Mode, cool air flows towards the top of the external space. Due to its high density, the cool air gradually and naturally sinks, which can quickly and evenly lower the indoor temperature, creating a comfortable and cool environment and avoiding the discomfort caused by direct cold air blowing.
[0105] When the air guide plate 20 is tilted downward relative to the outer frame 10, such as Figure 2 As shown, the airflow inside the outer frame 10 flows outward and downward along the side of the air guide plate 20 near the air outlet 11, and flows outward under the guidance of the moving part 31 and the air guide blade 32. At this time, the air conditioning outlet module 1 is in carpet wind mode, which can be applied to heating scenarios.
[0106] In carpet-style ventilation mode, hot air continuously flows towards the bottom of the external space, causing it to accumulate near the ground. Due to its low density, hot air is subject to upward buoyancy and rises slowly. The warm air layer formed at the bottom of the room gradually expands upward, achieving uniform heating throughout the room and avoiding the dryness and discomfort that might result from hot air blowing directly on the face or other parts of the body.
[0107] Among them, the movable component 31 can change position relative to the air guide plate 20, and each air guide blade 32 can change position relative to the movable component 31. Thus, the air delivery angle can be flexibly adjusted by any combination of the air guide plate 20, the movable component 31, and each air guide blade 32 in different relative positions.
[0108] It should be noted that the movable component 31 can translate, rotate, oscillate, or perform complex movements involving any combination of the above movements relative to the air guide plate 20. Each air guide blade 32 can also rotate or oscillate relative to the movable component 31; no specific limitation is made here regarding its form of movement. Furthermore, it is permissible for only the relative position between the movable component 31 and the air guide plate 20 to change, while the air guide blades 32 remain relatively stationary with respect to the movable component 31. Alternatively, it is permissible for only the relative position between each air guide blade 32 and the movable component 31 to change, while the movable component 31 remains relatively stationary with respect to the air guide plate 20. It is also permissible for both the relative position between the movable component 31 and the air guide plate 20 and the relative position between each air guide blade 32 and the movable component 31 to change; no limitation is made here regarding these variations.
[0109] In this way, when the air guide plate 20 opens the air outlet 11, since the moving part 31 and the air guide blades 32 are both located on the air outlet channel, by changing the relative position between the moving part 31 and the air guide plate 20, or adjusting the relative position between the moving part 31 and the air guide plate 20, or simultaneously adjusting the relative position between the moving part 31 and the air guide plate 20 and the relative position between each air guide blade 32 and the moving part 31, the airflow can be further diffused outward through the air guide blades 32 located on the moving part 31 after flowing out of the air outlet 11. Thus, the air supply angle of the air conditioning air outlet module 1 can be flexibly adjusted according to the needs, expanding the air supply area that the air conditioning air outlet 11 can cover, realizing air supply to a large area of the room, reducing blind spots, improving the uniformity of indoor temperature, and thus improving the overall comfort.
[0110] Furthermore, by setting multiple adjustable air guide vanes 32 on the air outlet duct of the air conditioning outlet module 1, the airflow can be dispersed into multiple streams after being guided by the multiple air guide vanes 32, avoiding strong winds from blowing directly onto the human skin surface from the air guide plate 20 during air supply. This can enhance the gentle wind effect of the air outlet module 11, reduce the stimulation of sudden temperature changes on the human body, and improve human comfort.
[0111] It is understandable that the air conditioner outlet module 1 can be applied to a variety of air conditioning equipment, including but not limited to wall-mounted air conditioners, floor-standing air conditioners, central air conditioners, ducted air conditioners, etc.
[0112] The following explanation uses the application of air conditioning outlet module 1 in central air conditioning as an example.
[0113] In one implementation, when the air guide plate 20 closes the air outlet 11, the air guide plate 20 is located inside the outer frame 10, and the two ends of the air guide plate 20 in the length direction are rotatably connected to the inner sidewall of the outer frame 10.
[0114] In this way, when the air guide plate 20 opens the air outlet 11, the airflow from the air outlet 11 is guided by the air guide plate 20 and flows out in the direction guided by the air guide plate 20, instead of flowing out through the gap between the air guide plate 20 and the outer frame 10, which would cause airflow loss, increase energy consumption, and affect the cooling or heating effect. At the same time, embedding the air guide plate 20 into the outer frame 10 also reduces the space occupied by the air guide plate 20 and reduces the overall volume of the air conditioner air outlet module 1.
[0115] Furthermore, by rotatably connecting the two ends of the air guide plate 20 along its length to the inner sidewall of the outer frame 10, the air guide plate 20 can be made more stable when rotating relative to the outer frame 10, thereby improving the reliability of the air conditioning outlet module 1.
[0116] For example, the middle part of the air guide plate 20 in the width direction can be connected to the middle part of the outer frame 10 in the width direction. Compared with connecting any end of the air guide plate 20 in the width direction to the corresponding end of the outer frame 10 in the width direction, connecting the middle part of the air guide plate 20 in the width direction to the middle part of the outer frame 10 in the width direction allows the air guide plate 20 to rotate more flexibly relative to the outer frame 10.
[0117] When the pivot of the air guide plate 20 is located in the middle of the width direction of the air guide plate 20, the air guide plate 20 can rotate upward at any angle less than or equal to 90° relative to the outer frame 10 without interference, and can also rotate downward at any angle less than or equal to 90° relative to the outer frame 10 without interference. This makes the adjustment of the opening angle of the air guide plate 20 more flexible and suitable for more application scenarios.
[0118] When one end of the air guide plate 20 in the height direction is connected to the corresponding end of the outer frame 10 in the height direction, the air guide plate 20 can only rotate in the same direction at any angle less than or equal to 90°, which limits its applicable scenarios.
[0119] To increase the air outlet area and coverage of the air conditioning outlet module 1, the air guide plate 20 can be positioned closer to the air outlet side of the outer frame 10. This allows the opening of the air guide plate 20 after opening the air outlet 11 to extend as far outward as possible from the outer frame 10, thereby reducing the restriction and influence that the airflow may be subject to due to the contour of the outer frame 10 during air delivery.
[0120] Furthermore, placing the air guide plate 20 near the air outlet side of the outer frame 10 can reduce the wind resistance that may be caused by the air guide plate 20 being placed inside the outer frame 10, reduce the obstruction of the internal air duct by the air guide plate 20, and avoid affecting the air delivery effect.
[0121] For example, the air guide plate 20 can be connected to the outer frame 10 via a rotating motor 40, which can drive the air guide plate 20 to rotate. In this way, the rotating motor 40 can quickly drive the air guide plate 20 to rotate relative to the outer frame 10 without manual adjustment, making the adjustment of the air delivery angle more flexible, convenient, and precise. Furthermore, the air conditioning outlet module 1 can also incorporate a control component electrically connected to the rotating motor 40 to adjust the rotation angle, speed, and position of the rotating motor 40. This allows for timely and accurate adjustment of the air delivery angle and direction by inputting commands to the control component.
[0122] The rotating motor 40 can be fixed to the outer frame 10, and the output end of the rotating motor 40 can be connected to the air guide plate 20. It can be understood that the output shaft of the rotating motor 40 can be directly connected to the air guide plate, so that the rotation of the rotating motor 40 can directly drive the rotation of the air guide plate 20 relative to the outer frame 10.
[0123] The output shaft of the rotary motor 40 can also be indirectly connected to the air guide plate 20. For example, the output end of the rotary motor 40 can be connected to the air guide plate 20 through a coupling or bushing so that the rotational motion of the output shaft of the rotary motor 40 can be reliably transmitted to the air guide plate 20, thereby driving the air guide plate 20 to rotate relative to the outer frame 10. No specific limitation is made here.
[0124] Specifically, support plates 22 can be symmetrically arranged on the surface of the air guide plate 20 near the air outlet 11. The support plates 22 extend in a direction perpendicular to the surface of the air guide plate 20, and a connecting hole for the air guide plate 20 to rotate is opened on the side of the support plate 22 away from the air guide plate 20. The output shaft of the rotating motor 40 can be directly connected to the connecting hole. Alternatively, the output shaft of the rotating motor 40 can be connected to the connecting hole through a bushing or coupling, which is not limited here.
[0125] In some embodiments, an encoder may be installed at the end or side of the rotating motor 40. This allows for the measurement of the rotation angle of the air guide plate 20, thereby enabling precise control of the adjustment angle of the air guide plate 20.
[0126] Figure 4 This is a three-dimensional structural schematic diagram of an adjustment component provided in an embodiment of this application. (Refer to...) Figure 4 As shown, the adjustment assembly 30 also includes a first drive assembly 33, which is mounted on the air guide plate 20. The first drive assembly 33 can drive each air guide blade 32 to change position relative to the moving part 31, so as to adjust the air delivery direction and air delivery area by the air guide blades 32.
[0127] The first driving assembly 33 drives the movement of each guide vane 32 on the movable member 31, causing a positional change in each guide vane 32 relative to the movable member 31. The angle between each guide vane 32 and the surface of the movable member 31 changes in a certain direction, and all guide vanes 32 on the same adjusting assembly 30 deflect uniformly toward one side of the air outlet 11 to adjust the air delivery angle of the air guiding assembly. In this embodiment, the movable member 31 is also movably connected to the air guide plate 20. The first driving assembly 33 can drive the movement of each guide vane 32 on the movable member 31, and the first driving assembly 33 can also drive the movement of the movable member 31. When the first driving assembly 33 drives the movable member 31, each guide vane 32 on the movable member 31 moves together with the movable member 31. Simultaneously, each guide vane 32 can also move relative to the movable member 31.
[0128] The first drive assembly 33 drives the movable component 31 to move, causing a positional change in the movable component 31 relative to the air guide plate 20, thus altering the distance between the movable component 31 and the air outlet 11. The movable component 31, along with the air guide blades 32 on it, moves together, changing the position of the air guide blades 32 relative to the air outlet 11 and weakening or even eliminating the limitation of the air duct on the deflection angle of the air guide blades 32. When the deflection angle of the movable component 31 relative to the air guide plate 20 is adjustable, adjusting the deflection angle of the air guide blades 32 relative to the movable component 31, based on changing the deflection angle of the movable component 31, can further increase the range of deflection angles of the air guide blades 32 relative to the air guide plate 20.
[0129] This configuration allows the first drive component 33 to both drive the individual air guide vanes 32 on the moving part 31 and the moving part 31 together with the air guide vanes 32, making the driving method of the first drive component 33 more flexible in controlling the adjustment component 30. This expands the air delivery area of the air conditioning outlet module 1, resulting in a larger air delivery coverage area and enabling air delivery over a wider area. It also allows for faster adjustment of indoor temperature, improves indoor temperature uniformity, and enhances indoor comfort.
[0130] Furthermore, since the first drive component 33 can drive both the guide vanes 32 and the moving parts 31, it enhances the flexibility of adjusting the moving parts 31 and guide vanes 32. The adjustment component 30 can direct airflow towards a wider area, improving the adjustment accuracy of the airflow area. Thus, by adjusting the airflow angle of the moving parts 31 and guide vanes 32 using the first drive component 33, the airflow area of the adjustment component 30 can avoid the user's activity area, preventing discomfort or health problems caused by direct cold air blowing on the user. The first drive component 33 can also continuously change the airflow angle of the moving parts 31 and guide vanes 32, preventing the air conditioning outlet module 1 from blowing directly onto a certain area for extended periods, thus improving the uniformity of the overall indoor temperature.
[0131] Furthermore, this embodiment achieves both the movement of the air guide vane 32 and the movement of the moving part 31 by using only one first driving component 33. This simplifies the driving method for the moving part 31 and the air guide vane 32, reduces the number of first driving components 33, lowers the space occupied by the first driving components 33, and makes the overall size of the adjustment component 30 smaller. The first driving component 33 consumes less energy, which helps reduce the energy consumption of the adjustment component 30 and improves the overall energy efficiency of the air conditioning outlet module 1.
[0132] In this embodiment, the movement of the moving member 31 driven by the first driving component 33 can be a swinging motion. The moving member 31 can swing (or rotate) around its own rotation axis on the air guide plate 20. This changes the position of the moving member 31 relative to the air outlet 11, altering the angle between the moving member 31 and the plane of the air outlet 11. Taking a point on the rotating axis away from the moving member 31 as a reference, that end of the moving member 31 swings away from the air outlet 11 (e.g., that end of the moving member 31 extends beyond the air guide plate 20), or it swings closer to the air outlet 11 (e.g., that end of the moving member 31 retracts into the air guide plate 20).
[0133] In this way, the first drive assembly 33 not only drives the guide vane 32 to swing relative to the moving member 31, changing the angle between the guide vane 32 and the moving member 31 in a certain direction, but also adjusts the air delivery direction by swinging the guide vane 32 itself. Furthermore, the first drive assembly 33 also drives the moving member 31 to swing relative to the air outlet 11, superimposing the deflection angle of the moving member 31 on top of the deflection angle of the guide vane 32, thus achieving adjustment of the air delivery direction. This increases the air delivery angle range of the adjustment assembly 30, expands the air delivery area of the adjustment assembly 30, and results in a larger air delivery coverage area for the air conditioning outlet module 1.
[0134] Of course, in other embodiments, the movement of the moving member 31 driven by the first driving component 33 can also be translational. The length direction of the moving member 31 is always consistent with the length direction of the air outlet 11, and the moving member 31 translates along the width direction of the air guide plate 20. This changes the position of the moving member 31 relative to the air outlet 11. For example, the moving member 31 moves away from the air outlet 11 along the air guide plate 20, or the moving member 31 moves closer to the air outlet 11 along the air guide plate 20.
[0135] In this way, the first drive component 33 can drive the moving part 31 to extend a greater distance from the air outlet 11, enhancing the airflow guiding capability of the guide vane 32. It also avoids the air duct enclosed by the outer frame 10 restricting the swing range of the guide vane 32, increasing the deflection angle of the guide vane 32. Consequently, the adjustment of the air delivery angle of the adjustment component 30 becomes more flexible, the air delivery area is further expanded, and the air delivery coverage area is wider, enabling large-area air delivery. Simultaneously, it can more quickly adjust the indoor temperature, improve indoor temperature uniformity, and enhance indoor comfort.
[0136] For example, continue to refer to Figure 4 As shown, the air guide plate 20 may have a receiving cavity 21, and the first driving assembly 33 may be disposed within the receiving cavity 21. Thus, the first driving assembly 33 and the air guide blade 32 are located on opposite sides of the thickness direction of the moving member 31. The first driving assembly 33 can be directly connected to the moving member 31, facilitating the driving of the moving member 31 and the air guide blade 32 on the moving member 31 by the first driving assembly 33. Furthermore, the first driving assembly 33 does not occupy the space of the moving member 31 on the side where the air guide blade 32 is located, which increases the arrangement space of the air guide blade 32 and helps improve the air guiding effect of the air conditioning outlet module 1.
[0137] Meanwhile, the receiving cavity 21 provided inside the air guide plate 20 has sufficient space to accommodate the first drive component 33, which is beneficial to the design and installation of the first drive component 33. In addition, since the air guide plate 20 can shield the first drive component 33, it can also improve the appearance of the air conditioning outlet module 1.
[0138] The following is a detailed description of the first driving component 33 driving the movable part 31 to swing relative to the air guide plate 20, and the first driving component 33 driving each air guide blade 32 to rotate relative to the movable part 31.
[0139] In this embodiment, the first drive component 33 is designed to drive the guide vane 32 to rotate continuously, and when the moving part 31 needs to swing, the first drive component 33 also drives the moving part 31 to swing. Therefore, the first drive adjustment component 30 has two motion modes: a first motion mode and a second motion mode.
[0140] The first motion mode involves the guide vane 32 oscillating and the moving part 31 moving. That is, when the first drive assembly 33 operates, it drives the guide vane 32 to oscillate on the moving part 31, and simultaneously drives the moving part 31 to move. The second motion mode involves the guide vane 32 oscillating while the moving part 31 remains stationary. That is, when the first drive assembly 33 operates, it only drives the guide vane 32 to move on the moving part 31, while the moving part 31 remains stationary relative to the guide plate 20.
[0141] Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the adjustment component provided in the embodiments of this application when it is in the first motion mode. Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of the adjustment component provided in the embodiments of this application when it is in the second motion mode. It is understood that... Figure 5 and Figure 6 This only shows the relative positional relationship between the air guide plate 20 and the adjustment component 30 in one of the first and second motion modes, and is not a specific limitation on the relative positional relationship in these two motion modes.
[0142] Reference Figure 5 As shown, when the adjusting component 30 is in the first motion mode, when the first driving component 33 drives each guide vane 32 to rotate relative to the moving member 31, the first driving component 33 can also drive the moving member 31 to move between the initial position and the extreme position. When the moving member 31 is in the initial position, the moving member 31 is completely housed within the guide plate 20, and the length direction of the moving member 31 can be parallel to the length direction of the guide plate 20. When the moving member 31 is in the extreme position, the moving member 31 can extend at least partially beyond the guide plate 20. Taking the first driving component 33 driving the moving member 31 to swing as an example, the extreme position of the moving member 31 is its extreme deflection position. When the moving member 31 is in the extreme deflection position, the side of the moving member 31 away from a certain location on the first driving component 33 (which is the rotation center of the moving member 31) can extend beyond the guide plate 20. Therefore, by swinging the movable part 31 relative to the air guide plate 20, the airflow guided by the adjustment component 30 to the air outlet 11 can be expanded, thereby making the air outlet module 1 cover a larger area and a wider range.
[0143] It is understandable that the moving part 31 can remain stationary in the initial position or in the extreme position. Thus, when the adjusting component 30 is in the first motion mode, the moving part 31 can move between the initial position and the extreme position, while the guide vane 32 rotates around its own rotation axis on the moving part 31.
[0144] Reference Figure 6As shown, when the adjusting component 30 is in the second motion mode, the first driving component 33 only drives each guide vane 32 to rotate relative to the moving member 31. At this time, the moving member 31 no longer moves between the initial position and the limit position, and the moving member 31 remains stationary relative to the guide plate 20. The relative positional relationship between the moving member 31 and the guide plate 20 no longer changes. It can be understood that when the adjusting component 30 is in the second motion mode, the moving member 31 can stay at any position between the initial position and the limit position, and only the guide vanes 32 rotate around their own rotation axis on the moving member 31. In this way, when the moving member 31 swings relative to the guide plate 20 to the desired position, the second motion mode can be used to keep the moving member 31 at that position, and the guide vanes 32 on the moving member 31 can continuously guide the airflow outward.
[0145] Figure 7 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the driving method of the adjustment component provided in an embodiment of this application. (Refer to...) Figure 7 As shown, in this embodiment, the first drive assembly 33 used to drive the movement of the movable member 31 and the guide vane 32 includes a drive motor 331 and a transmission member 332, which is drively connected between the drive motor 331 and the adjustment assembly 30. The drive motor 331 provides driving force and can be electrically connected to a control unit to control its operation. The transmission member 332 transmits the power of the drive motor 331 to the movable member 31, thereby driving the movable member 31 to move.
[0146] The movable component 31 can be connected to the transmission component 332. The first drive assembly 33 transmits driving force to the transmission component 332, which in turn drives the movable component 31 to move. Each guide vane 32 on the movable component 31 can be directly connected to the output end of the drive motor 331, which directly drives each guide vane 32 to rotate. Alternatively, each guide vane 32 can also be connected to the transmission component 332, which drives each guide vane 32 to rotate.
[0147] This configuration uses only one drive motor 331 in conjunction with the transmission component 332 to drive both the rotation of the guide vanes 32 on the moving component 31 and the movement of the moving component 31 itself. The structure of the first drive assembly 33 is simpler, simplifying the driving method for the moving component 31 and the guide vanes 32. Furthermore, since there are no other drive components in the first drive assembly 33, it occupies less space and is lighter, saving space for the adjustment assembly 30 and facilitating the layout design of other components in the air conditioning outlet module 1. It also contributes to the overall lightweight design of the air conditioning outlet module 1. In addition, using only one drive motor 331 to drive the movement of the moving component 31 and the guide vanes 32 minimizes the number of drive motors 331 used, thus reducing the energy consumption of the air conditioning outlet module 1.
[0148] Figure 8 A schematic diagram of the structure of the first driving component provided in an embodiment of this application at an angle. (Refer to...) Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, in this embodiment, the transmission component 332 that connects the first drive assembly 33 and the moving component 31 can be a gear set 332a. Using the gear set 332a as the transmission component 332, the transmission between the drive motor 331, the moving component 31, and the guide vanes 32 is achieved through gear transmission.
[0149] The gear set 332a primarily achieves transmission through meshing, coaxial gears, mainly used to drive the target structural component to rotate. In this way, the gear set 332a can drive the moving part 31 to oscillate, thereby changing the angle between the moving part 31 and the length direction of the air guide plate 20. Furthermore, the gear set 332a has a tight fit, with the gears meshing, overlapping, and engaging. The overall size of the gear set 332a is small, which helps to reduce the overall space occupied by the first drive assembly 33. In addition, the gear set 332a can achieve precision transmission, with high transmission efficiency and accuracy, which can improve the driving precision of the first drive assembly 33 and further enhance the precision of the adjustment assembly 30 in adjusting the air delivery angle.
[0150] Of course, in other embodiments, the transmission component 332 can also have other structural forms, and the transmission component 332 can transmit power through other transmission methods. For example, the transmission component 332 can be a linkage drive, a telescopic rod drive, a gear and rack drive, or other transmission structures. The transmission component 332 can drive the moving component 31 to swing, or the transmission component 332 can also drive the moving component 31 to translate. This embodiment does not limit this.
[0151] The gear set 332a may specifically include a first gear pair 3321 and a second gear pair 3322. The first gear pair 3321 is connected to the drive motor 331 for transmission; for example, the first gear pair 3321 may be connected to the output shaft of the drive motor 331. The second gear pair 3322 is connected between the first gear and the moving member 31 for transmission.
[0152] The second gear pair 3322 can be located on the side of the first gear pair 3321 closer to the moving member 31, facilitating the transmission connection between the first gear pair 3321 and the second gear pair 3322, and also facilitating the connection between the second gear pair 3322 and the moving member 31. In the thickness direction of the moving member 31, the second gear pair 3322 and the first gear pair 3321 can have portions located within the same thickness space, facilitating the transmission engagement between the second gear pair 3322 and the first gear pair 3321.
[0153] In this configuration, gear set 332a can avoid the output shaft of drive motor 331, whose output shaft is directly connected to each guide vane 32, causing the drive motor 331 to drive each guide vane 32 to rotate continuously. Alternatively, first gear pair 3321 is connected to the output shaft of drive motor 331, and is connected to each guide vane 32, causing the first gear pair 3321 to drive each guide vane 32 to rotate continuously. Second gear pair 3322 is connected to moving member 31. When first gear pair 3321 drives second gear pair 3322, second gear pair 3322 causes moving member 31 to swing; when first gear pair 3321 does not drive second gear pair 3322, moving member 31 remains stationary.
[0154] Combination Figure 7 and Figure 8 The first gear pair 3321 may include a driving gear 33211, which is connected to the output shaft of the drive motor 331. The second gear pair 3322 may include a first transmission gear 33221, which is disposed on the side of the driving gear 33211 closer to the moving member 31. The first transmission gear 33221 and the driving gear 33211 are in a driving engagement, and the first transmission gear 33221 is drivingly connected to the moving member 31.
[0155] After the drive motor 331 starts, it can drive the drive wheel 33211 to rotate continuously. Through the transmission design of the drive wheel 33211 and the first transmission wheel 33221, during the rotation of the drive wheel 33211, the drive wheel 33211 can either transmit power to the first transmission wheel 33221, causing it to rotate, or it can choose not to transmit power to the first transmission wheel 33221, leaving the first transmission wheel 33221 stationary. For example, when the drive wheel 33211 rotates to a certain angle range, it drives the first transmission wheel 33221 to rotate; when the drive wheel 33211 rotates to other angle ranges, the first transmission wheel 33221 remains stationary.
[0156] In other words, through the transmission cooperation between the drive wheel 33211 and the first transmission wheel 33221, the adjusting component 30 can move in either the first or second movement mode. Specifically, when the drive wheel 33211 drives the first transmission wheel 33221 to rotate synchronously, the guide vanes 32 oscillate, the moving part 31 moves, and the adjusting component 30 moves in the first movement mode. When the drive wheel 33211 rotates while the first transmission wheel 33221 remains stationary, the guide vanes 32 oscillate while the moving part 31 remains stationary, and the adjusting component 30 moves in the second movement mode.
[0157] Figure 9 This is a partial structural schematic diagram of the first driving component provided in an embodiment of this application. It is understood that... Figure 9 Some structures in the transmission components have been omitted to make the transmission relationship between the drive wheel 33211 and the first transmission wheel 33221 clearer.
[0158] Reference Figure 8 and Figure 9 In one embodiment, the first transmission wheel 33221 and the driving wheel 33211 can be partially overlapped, and a transmission rod 33213 can be provided on the side of the driving wheel 33211 facing the first transmission wheel 33221. A transmission groove 33224 can be formed on the first transmission wheel 33221, and the transmission groove 33224 can be connected to the side wall of the first transmission wheel 33221. When installing the first transmission wheel 33221, the transmission groove 33224 on the first transmission wheel 33221 is positioned facing the driving wheel 33211, so that the opening of the transmission groove 33224 is within the coverage area of the driving wheel 33211, and the opening of the transmission groove 33224 is located on the circumference of the rotation trajectory of the transmission rod 33213 on the driving wheel 33211.
[0159] During the rotation of the drive wheel 33211 driven by the drive motor 331, the transmission on the drive wheel 33211 performs circular motion. When the transmission rod 33213 on the drive wheel 33211 rotates to the opening of the transmission groove 33224 on the first transmission wheel 33221, the transmission rod 33213 will enter the transmission groove 33224 as the drive wheel 33211 continues to rotate. Furthermore, the transmission rod 33213 will slide along the transmission groove 33224. During this period, the first transmission wheel 33221 is subjected to the external force applied by the transmission rod 33213, and the first transmission wheel 33221 will rotate synchronously with the drive wheel 33211. Thus, the drive motor 331 or the drive wheel 33211 drives the guide vane 32 to oscillate, and simultaneously, the first transmission wheel 33221 drives the moving part 31 to oscillate, causing the adjusting component 30 to move in the first motion mode.
[0160] As the drive wheel 33211 continues to rotate, the transmission rod 33213 disengages from the transmission groove 33224. After the transmission rod 33213 disengages from the transmission groove 33224, the first transmission wheel 33221 is no longer subjected to external force and stops rotating, remaining at its current position (at this time, the moving part 31 can remain at its limit position). From this point onward, if the drive wheel 33211 continues to rotate in its original direction, the transmission rod 33213 will move away from the first transmission wheel 33221, and the opening of the transmission groove 33224 can no longer correspond to the transmission rod 33213, so the drive wheel 33211 will no longer drive the first transmission wheel 33221 to rotate. During this period, the adjusting component 30 operates in the second motion mode.
[0161] To enable the drive wheel 33211 to drive the first transmission wheel 33221 to rotate again, the drive motor 331 can be rotated in the opposite direction, causing the drive wheel 33211 to rotate in the opposite direction. During the reverse rotation of the drive wheel 33211, the transmission rod 33213 on the drive wheel 33211 moves towards the first transmission wheel 33221, and the transmission rod 33213 can rotate to correspond to the opening of the transmission groove 33224. After the transmission rod 33213 enters the transmission groove 33224, as the transmission rod 33213 slides along the transmission groove 33224, it can drive the first transmission wheel 33221 to rotate again. At this time, the first transmission wheel 33221 also rotates in the opposite direction, causing the moving part 31 to swing in the opposite direction, so that the moving part 31 returns to its initial position.
[0162] The transmission groove 33224 extends radially along the first transmission wheel 33221. During the rotation of the first transmission wheel 33221 driven by the drive wheel 33211, the movement trajectory of the transmission groove 33224 always matches the circumferential trajectory of the transmission rod 33213. In other words, the centerline of the width direction of the transmission groove 33224 is always tangent to the circumferential trajectory of the transmission rod 33213. This ensures that the transmission rod 33213 slides smoothly along the transmission groove 33224 without interference or jamming, allowing the drive wheel 33211 to smoothly drive the first transmission wheel 33221 to rotate.
[0163] Continue to refer to Figure 8 and Figure 9 The first gear pair 3321 may further include a first driven gear 33212, which is coaxially disposed on the side of the driving gear 33211 near the moving member 31. In other words, the first driven gear 33212 and the first transmission gear 33221 can be arranged side by side in the same space. In this way, with only partial overlap between the first transmission gear 33221 and the driving gear 33211, the first driven gear 33212 allows the gear set 332a to have more overlapping parts, and the first driven gear 33212 increases the counterweight of the gear set 332a, resulting in higher stability and reliability of the gear set 332a.
[0164] The first driven wheel 33212 and the first transmission wheel 33221 should not interfere with each other, and there should be no overlap or joint between them. In this way, the first driven wheel 33212 will not affect the rotation of the first transmission wheel 33221, so as to ensure that the driving wheel 33211 can smoothly drive the first transmission wheel 33221 to rotate.
[0165] In one implementation, the outer peripheral wall of the first transmission wheel 33221 may have at least one concave arc surface 33214, which matches the outer circular surface of the first driven wheel 33212. In other words, the center of the circumference of the concave arc surface 33214 of the first transmission wheel 33221 should coincide with the center of the outer circular surface of the first driven wheel 33212. When assembling the gear set 332a, the transmission groove 33224 on the first transmission wheel 33221 faces the first driven wheel 33212, and the portion of the outer peripheral wall of the first transmission wheel 33221 facing the first driven wheel 33212 should also be a concave arc surface 33214. While ensuring that the transmission rod 33213 can enter the transmission groove 33224, the concave arc surface 33214 of the first transmission wheel 33221 can cooperate with the outer circular surface of the first driven wheel 33212.
[0166] During the rotation of the first transmission wheel 33221 driven by the driving wheel 33211, the outer surface of the first driven wheel 33212 slides along the concave arc surface 33214 of the first transmission wheel 33221. In this way, the first driven wheel 33212 and the first transmission wheel 33221 do not interfere with each other and do not affect the rotation of the first transmission wheel 33221. Furthermore, the first driven wheel 33212 and the second transmission wheel 33223 have mutually engaging friction surfaces, generating a certain amount of friction between them, which makes the movement of the first transmission wheel 33221 smoother and more reliable.
[0167] For example, the outer peripheral wall of the first transmission wheel 33221 may have two or more concave arc surfaces 33214, and each concave arc surface 33214 is evenly spaced along the circumference of the first transmission wheel 33221. This makes the contour of the first transmission wheel 33221 more regular and its symmetry better. It facilitates the manufacturing of the first transmission wheel 33221, allowing the transmission groove 33224 to be positioned corresponding to any one of the concave arc surfaces 33214, reducing the manufacturing difficulty of the first transmission wheel 33221 and improving its manufacturing efficiency. Furthermore, the first transmission wheel 33221 has a more regular structure and better stability, and its volume extending beyond the drive wheel 33211 is smaller, resulting in higher overall operational reliability of the gear set 332a.
[0168] Of course, provided that the operational reliability of the gear set 332a can be guaranteed, a concave arc surface 33214 can be provided only on the outer peripheral wall of the first transmission wheel 33221, and the rest of the outer peripheral wall of the first transmission wheel 33221 can be an outer circular surface. This embodiment does not impose specific limitations on this.
[0169] Since a transmission rod 33213 is provided on the surface of the driving wheel 33211 facing the first driven wheel 33212, a clearance recess 33215 can also be provided on the outer peripheral wall of the first driven wheel 33212 to ensure that the transmission rod 33213 can reliably cooperate with the transmission groove 33224 of the first transmission wheel 33221. The clearance recess 33215 is used to avoid the transmission rod 33213 on the driving wheel 33211. The transmission rod 33213 is located to the side of the clearance recess 33215 to leave a certain space on the outer periphery of the transmission rod 33213 and avoid interference with the cooperation between the transmission rod 33213 and the clearance groove.
[0170] For example, the recess 33215 can be an arc-shaped concave surface, and the axis of the transmission rod 33213 can be located on the radial line of the arc-shaped concave surface, with the distance from the axis of the transmission rod 33213 to both ends of the arc-shaped concave surface being equal. In this way, the transmission rod 33213 can be used as a positioning reference to position the first driven wheel 33212 during assembly with the driving wheel 33211. Furthermore, the first driven wheel 33212 and the driving wheel 33211 form a symmetrical structure after assembly, resulting in a better aesthetic appearance.
[0171] Continue to refer to Figure 8 and Figure 9 The second gear pair 3322 may further include a second driven wheel 33222, which is coaxially disposed on the side of the first transmission wheel 33221 near the moving member 31. The moving member 31 is connected to the second driven wheel 33222 in a transmission connection. In this way, the second driven wheel 33222 is closer to the moving member 31, which facilitates the connection between the second gear pair 3322 and the moving member 31.
[0172] Furthermore, since the second driven wheel 33222 is coaxially arranged with the first transmission wheel 33221, the second driven wheel 33222 rotates synchronously with the first transmission wheel 33221. When the second driven wheel 33222 rotates synchronously with the first transmission wheel 33221, it drives the moving member 31 to swing. When the second driven wheel 33222 is stationary with the first transmission wheel 33221, the moving member 31 is limited to the initial position or the limit position, and the moving member 31 remains stationary.
[0173] Based on this, the second gear pair 3322 may further include a second transmission wheel 33223, which is disposed on the side of the first driven wheel 33212 near the moving member 31. Furthermore, the second transmission wheel 33223 meshes with the second driven wheel 33222, and the moving member 31 is connected to the second transmission wheel 33223, which drives the moving member 31 to rotate.
[0174] The transmission ratio between the second drive wheel 33223 and the second driven wheel 33222 can be different. In other words, the outer diameters of the second drive wheel 33223 and the second driven wheel 33222 can be different. Thus, by setting the second drive wheel 33223 to mesh with the second driven wheel 33222, the second driven wheel 33222 maintains the same rotational speed as the first drive wheel 33221, but their rotational speeds differ. This allows the size of the second driven wheel 33222 to be selected according to the required oscillation speed of the moving member 31, maintaining an appropriate transmission ratio between the second driven wheel 33222 and the second drive wheel 33223, controlling the rotational speed of the second drive wheel 33223 within a suitable range, and ensuring smooth oscillation of the moving member 31.
[0175] Since the drive motor 331 typically outputs a high speed, when transmitting power to structural components, it is often necessary to reduce the speed of the drive motor 331 and increase its torque to meet the rotational requirements of the structural components. To address this, the outer diameter of the second transmission wheel 33223 can be larger than the outer diameter of the second driven wheel 33222. The second transmission wheel 33223 can thus reduce speed and increase torque, allowing the moving component 31 to maintain a suitable oscillation speed. Furthermore, the greater torque between the second transmission wheel 33223 and the moving component 31 makes the movement of the moving component 31 more stable and reliable.
[0176] In addition to adjusting the output speed of the second gear pair 33222, the second transmission wheel 33223, positioned above the first driven wheel 33212, also helps to adjust the overall center of gravity of the gear set 332a, making it more stable and reliable. The second transmission wheel 33223 and the first transmission wheel 33221 can partially overlap, with the driving wheel 33211 and the second transmission wheel 33223 supporting both sides of the first transmission wheel 33221, further strengthening the overall structure of the gear set 332a.
[0177] Figure 10 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the connection between the second transmission wheel and the moving member according to an embodiment of this application. (Refer to...) Figure 10 As shown, a connecting sleeve 310 can be fixedly connected to the plate surface of the movable part 31 on the side away from the guide vane 32. The output shaft of the drive motor 331 or the output shaft of the first gear pair 3321 passes through the connecting sleeve 310 and can drive the guide vane 32 to rotate.
[0178] A boss 311 may be provided on the outer wall surface of the connecting sleeve 310 away from the guide vane 32, extending along the thickness direction of the moving member 31. A mating groove 33225 matching the shape of the boss 311 on the connecting sleeve 310 may be provided on the side of the second transmission wheel 33223 facing the moving member 31, so that the second transmission wheel 33223 can be connected to the moving member 31 via the connecting sleeve 310, driving the moving member 31 to move. Furthermore, the second transmission wheel 33223 can rotate under the drive of the second driven wheel 33222, thereby causing the moving member 31 to swing relative to the guide vane 20.
[0179] It is understandable that, to ensure the stability of the transmission connection between the second transmission wheel 33223 and the moving part 31, other slotted mating structures can also be provided on the connecting sleeve 310 and the second transmission wheel 33223 to prevent relative rotation between the second transmission wheel 33223 and the connecting sleeve 310, thereby improving the connection stability between the two. Further details will not be elaborated here.
[0180] Regarding the design of the number of adjustment components 30 in the air conditioning vent module 1, please refer to... Figure 4 In one implementation, the number of adjusting components 30 can be two, and the two adjusting components 30 can be spaced apart along the length direction of the air guide plate 20. Correspondingly, the number of moving parts 31 and first driving components 33 can also be two. The two driving components are respectively connected to the two moving parts 31, and each first driving component 33 drives the corresponding moving part 31 to move, and thus drives the air guide blades 32 on the corresponding moving part 31 to move together with the moving part 31.
[0181] By arranging two movable parts 31 at intervals along the length of the air guide plate 20, and providing two first drive components 33 to independently drive the two movable parts 31, the two movable parts 31 can drive the air guide blades 32 on the movable parts 31 to deliver air to different areas. The two movable parts 31 have different air delivery areas, thereby expanding the air delivery area of the air conditioning outlet module 1 and increasing the air delivery coverage area of the central air conditioning system.
[0182] Furthermore, the two moving parts 31 are independently driven by the two first drive components 33, and the air delivery areas of the two moving parts 31 can be adjusted independently without any linkage between them. In this way, the air conditioning outlet module 1 can be adapted to different indoor layouts and usage needs. Users can flexibly adjust the air delivery areas of the two adjustment components 30 according to actual conditions to meet the needs of different environments for different air delivery areas, ensuring that the airflow blown out by the air conditioning outlet module 1 is fully and effectively utilized, avoiding waste.
[0183] The two first drive components 33 can be symmetrically arranged, specifically symmetrically about the center line between the two moving parts 31. This results in better structural symmetry for the adjustment component 30, more balanced overall force distribution, and improved stability and reliability. Furthermore, with identical driving capabilities for the first drive components 33, the air delivery area coverage of the two moving parts 31 remains symmetrical, with no significant difference in their air delivery coverage area. This improves the versatility of the air conditioning outlet module 1 and expands its application scenarios. Additionally, the adjustment component 30 is easier to assemble, eliminating the need to distinguish the installation positions of the two adjustment components 30, thus increasing assembly efficiency.
[0184] Based on this, the first drive assembly 33 can be positioned closer to the end of the corresponding moving member 31 that is furthest from the other moving member 31. That is, the position of the first drive assembly 33 is closer to the end of the air guide plate 20 along its length. For the two moving members 31, the two first drive assemblies 33 are respectively close to the two ends of the air guide plate 20 along its length.
[0185] The rotation center of the movable member 31 is located at the location of the first drive assembly 33. By bringing the first drive assembly 33 closer to one end of the movable member 31, the rotation arm between the rotation center of the movable member 31 and the other end of the movable member 31 is longer. When the first drive assembly 33 is away from the opposing ends of the two movable members 31, the rotation arm between the rotation center of the movable member 31 and the end of the movable member 31 near the central region of the air guide plate 20 is longer. With the same driving efficiency, when the first drive assembly 33 is closer to the opposing ends of the two movable members 31, the opposing ends of the two movable members 31 can extend a greater distance beyond the air guide plate 20 compared to when the first drive assembly 33 is closer to the opposing ends of the two movable members 31.
[0186] When the opposing ends of the two moving parts 31 extend beyond the air guide plate 20, the two moving parts 31 deflect towards their respective sides, and the two moving parts 31 are in an outward expansion posture, resulting in a larger overall air delivery area for the adjusting assembly 30. The farther the opposing ends of the two moving parts 31 extend beyond the air guide plate 20, the more of the moving parts 31 and the air guide blades 32 are exposed outside the air guide plate 20 when the two moving parts 31 are in an outward expansion posture.
[0187] In this way, the air delivery area of the two adjustment components 30 is larger, and the overall air delivery coverage of the air conditioning outlet module 1 is wider. At the same time, when the two adjustment components 30 are in an outward-expanding posture, the portion of the adjustment components 30 located within the outer frame 10 is smaller, resulting in less obstruction of airflow and avoiding air delivery blind spots. Furthermore, because the portion of the adjustment components 30 located within the outer frame 10 is small, the required movement space within the outer frame 10 is also smaller, preventing interference between the adjustment components 30 and the outer frame 10, and contributing to a reduction in the overall size of the air conditioning outlet module 1.
[0188] For example, the two first drive components 33 can be located at opposite ends of the two moving parts 31. This achieves an optimized design in the position of the first drive components 33, with the guide vanes 32 almost entirely exposed when the two moving parts 31 are in a maximum outward expansion posture (the deflection angle of the moving parts 31 reaches its limit). This avoids interference and restriction of the guide vanes 32 by the outer frame 10, prevents blind spots in air delivery, and allows for maximizing the maximum deflection angle of the guide vanes 32 (when the deflection angle of the guide vanes 32 reaches its maximum). This further expands the air delivery area of the adjustment component 30 and the overall air delivery coverage area of the air conditioning outlet module 1.
[0189] As another implementation, the air conditioning outlet module 1 may also include only one adjustment component 30, and correspondingly, only one first drive component 33 may be provided to drive the moving part 31. Under the drive of the first drive component 33, the air guide vanes 32 on the moving part 31 can deflect relative to the moving part 31, and the moving part 31 can also deflect relative to the air guide plate 20. Therefore, one adjustment component 30 also has a sufficiently large air supply area to meet the needs of typical indoor space.
[0190] When the air conditioning vent module 1 includes only one adjustment component 30, the first drive component 33 can be connected to the middle region along the length of the moving part 31. This results in a more balanced force distribution on the adjustment component 30, leading to higher reliability. Furthermore, the deflection amplitude of the moving part 31 to both sides remains consistent, resulting in better airflow balance and greater versatility of the adjustment component 30.
[0191] Alternatively, the first drive component 33 can be connected to one end of the moving part 31 along its length, and the adjustment component 30 can rotate around one end of it. The moving part 31 can extend more of the air guide plate 20, and the adjustment component 30 can achieve a larger air supply coverage area and a wider air supply zone.
[0192] Of course, in other embodiments, the air conditioner outlet module 1 may also include three or more adjustment components 30. Correspondingly, the number of the first drive component 33 and the moving component 31 may also be three or more, and the first drive component 33 may be configured in a one-to-one correspondence with the moving component 31. For example, when the air equipment is large in size and has a long air outlet 11, multiple adjustment components 30 may be arranged sequentially at intervals along the length of the air guide plate 20, with each adjustment component 30 maintaining a suitable length to meet the stability and reliability requirements of the adjustment component 30. Alternatively, when the air conditioner outlet module 1 is used in large spaces such as offices or factories, multiple adjustment components 30 may be arranged to give the adjustment components 30 a larger air supply coverage area to meet the air supply needs of large spaces.
[0193] Figure 11 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the second driving component provided in an embodiment of this application at an angle. Figure 12 A schematic diagram of the structure of the second driving component provided in an embodiment of this application from another angle. (Refer to...) Figure 11 As shown, in some embodiments, when the air conditioning vent module 1 includes two or more adjusting components 30 spaced apart along the length of the air guide plate 20, the air conditioning vent module 1 may also include at least one second driving component 50, which may be connected between two adjacent adjusting components 30. Furthermore, the second driving component 50 may simultaneously drive the moving parts 31 in two adjacent adjusting components 30 to move.
[0194] At this time, the first drive assembly 33 can be used only to drive each guide vane 32 to deflect relative to the moving part 31, and drive the moving part 31 in the two adjustment assemblies 30 connected on both sides of it to move through the second drive assembly 50.
[0195] When the air conditioning vent module 1 includes two adjustment components 30, only one second drive component 50 can be provided. The second drive component 50 is connected between the two adjustment components 30, and the second drive component 50 can drive the moving parts 31 of the two adjustment components 30 to move relative to each other.
[0196] When the air conditioning vent module 1 includes three or more adjustment components 30, a second drive component 50 can be provided between each pair of adjacent adjustment components 30. The second drive component 50 drives the moving parts 31 of the adjacent adjustment components 30 to move relative to each other. Alternatively, only one second drive component 50 can be provided between each pair of adjacent adjustment components 30, and the other adjacent adjustment components 30 are connected by a transmission structure. The driving force of the second drive component 50 is transmitted through the transmission structure, so that the moving parts 31 of all adjustment components 30 can move.
[0197] By setting the first drive assembly 33 to drive the guide vane 32 and the second drive assembly 50 to drive the moving part 31, each of the first drive assembly 33 and the second drive assembly 50 drives a single moving object, the driving method is relatively simple, and the structural design of the first drive assembly 33 and the second drive assembly 50 can also be relatively simplified. This reduces the design difficulty of the first drive assembly 33 and the second drive assembly 50, thus lowering their design costs. Furthermore, the first drive assembly 33 and the second drive assembly 50 do not affect each other; even if one fails, it will not affect the operation of the other. The probability of the guide vane 32 and the moving part 31 failing to move simultaneously is low, resulting in higher operational reliability of the adjustment assembly 30.
[0198] Regarding the architecture design of the second drive component 50, combined with Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown, the second drive assembly 50 may include a synchronous drive motor 51 and a synchronous transmission member 52. The synchronous drive motor 51 is connected to the synchronous transmission member 52, and the synchronous transmission member 52 is connected between the moving parts 31 of two adjacent adjustment assemblies 30. The synchronous drive motor 51 drives the synchronous transmission member 52 to move, and the synchronous transmission member 52 can drive the two moving parts 31 to move relative to each other.
[0199] For example, the synchronous transmission component 52 may include a push-pull rod 521 and two connecting rods 522. The synchronous drive motor 51 is connected to the push-pull rod 521. One end of each of the two connecting rods 522 is connected to the push-pull rod 521, and the other end of each connecting rod 522 is connected to two movable components respectively. The synchronous drive motor 51 drives the push-pull rod 521 to move in the plane direction of the movable component 31, so that the push-pull rod 521 drives the two connecting rods 522 to move relative to each other, thereby causing the two movable components 31 to swing relative to each other.
[0200] Figure 13 This is an exploded structural diagram of an adjustment component provided in an embodiment of this application. (Refer to...) Figure 13 As shown, in order to enable all the air guide blades 32 on the moving part 31 to swing, the adjustment component 30 can also be provided with a linkage 34. All the air guide blades 32 are connected to the linkage 34 and are driven by the linkage 34 to move synchronously.
[0201] For example, each guide vane 32 can be arranged sequentially along the length direction of the moving member 31, and correspondingly, the linkage member 34 also extends along the length direction of the moving member 31 so as to ensure a stable connection between the linkage member 34 and each guide vane 32.
[0202] When the first drive assembly 33 operates, it drives the linkage 34 to move, thereby causing all the guide vanes 32 to swing synchronously. The first drive assembly 33 can be connected to one of the guide vanes 32 mounted on the moving member 31; for example, the first drive assembly 33 can be connected to the guide vane 32 located at one end of the moving member 31 along its length. The first drive assembly 33 drives the guide vane 32 to rotate, which in turn drives the linkage 34 connected to it to move. This, in turn, causes all the guide vanes 32 to swing synchronously via the linkage 34.
[0203] Alternatively, the first drive assembly 33 can also be connected to the linkage 34, for example, the first drive assembly 33 can be connected to the linkage 34 at the position between the two guide vanes 32. The first drive assembly 33 drives the linkage 34 to move, and the linkage 34 causes all the guide vanes 32 to swing synchronously.
[0204] Continue to refer to Figure 13 The linkage 34 can be housed within the movable component 31. This facilitates the connection of the linkage 34 with all the guide vanes 32. Furthermore, the linkage 34 is concealed within the movable component 31, resulting in a cleaner appearance for the adjustment assembly 30. In addition, the linkage 34 does not occupy any additional space and does not affect the size of the adjustment assembly 30, thus contributing to its slim profile.
[0205] To accommodate the linkage 34 within the movable component 31 and facilitate its connection with each guide vane 32, the movable component 31 can be divided into a panel 312 and a base plate 313. The panel 312 and base plate 313 together form a mounting cavity, within which the linkage 34 is housed. All guide vanes 32 can be mounted on the panel 312, and the first drive assembly 33 passes through the base plate 313 to connect with either the guide vanes 32 or the linkage 34.
[0206] like Figure 13 As shown, as an example, the linkage 34 can be a rack, which can extend along the arrangement direction of each guide vane 32. Each guide vane 32 includes a gear 323, which can be disposed on the central axis of the guide vane 32. The output shaft of the drive motor 331 in the first drive assembly 33 can also be connected to the gear 323 (for example, the output shaft of the drive motor 331 is connected to the gear on one of the guide vanes 32). The drive motor 331 drives the rack to move along the arrangement direction of each guide vane 32 through the gear 323. For example, when the guide vanes are arranged sequentially along the length direction of the moving member 31, the rack can move along the length direction of the moving member 31. The movement of the rack drives the gears 323 on the remaining guide vanes 32 to rotate, thereby driving all the guide vanes 32 to rotate.
[0207] By employing a rack and pinion transmission method, the rotation of the gear is not limited by its rotation angle range. As long as the rack is long enough and continues to move, it can drive the gear to rotate 360°. Therefore, the gear can drive the guide vane 32 to achieve a rotation angle range of 0° to 360°, enabling omnidirectional airflow. Furthermore, the rack's linear movement simplifies the transmission process, provides a more precise motion trajectory, and increases the reliability of driving the guide vane 32, allowing for more accurate control of its rotation angle.
[0208] As another example, the linkage 34 can be a connecting rod (not shown in the figure), which can extend along the extension direction of the moving member 31 and is connected to all the guide vanes 32. The drive motor 331 of the first drive assembly 33 can drive one of the guide vanes 32 to rotate, and the guide vane 32 drives the connecting rod to reciprocate with a small swing amplitude. Through the swing and reciprocating motion of the connecting rod, all the guide vanes 32 are driven to swing. Alternatively, the output shaft of the drive motor 331 is connected to the connecting rod, and the rotation of the drive motor 331 drives the connecting rod to reciprocate with a small swing amplitude, thereby driving all the guide vanes 32 to swing.
[0209] Compared to rack and pinion transmission, by setting the linkage 34 as a connecting rod, the structure of the linkage 34 can be simplified. The linkage 34 has a simple manufacturing process and low production cost, making it suitable for mass production and application. Furthermore, the connecting rod is a simple and reliable transmission structure that can effectively convert the rotational motion of the drive motor 331 into the linear reciprocating oscillation of the connecting rod itself, which helps improve the reliability and durability of the adjustment assembly 30. In addition, the geometric characteristics of the connecting rod determine that it can provide precise motion control, enabling the guide vanes 32 to make precise angle adjustments within a set range, thus providing users with more precise airflow control.
[0210] Figure 14 This is another exploded structural diagram of the adjustment component provided in an embodiment of this application. (Refer to...) Figure 14 As shown, the guide vane 32 includes a blade body 321, which is the main structure of the guide vane 32. An airflow channel is formed between the blade bodies 321 of adjacent guide vanes 32 to guide the airflow from the outlet 11. The guide vane 32 is driven to move by the first drive assembly 33, changing the orientation of the blade bodies 321, thereby changing the airflow direction of the adjustment assembly 30.
[0211] The thickness of the blade body 321 can be between 2mm and 3mm. This thickness satisfies the machinability requirements of the blade body 321 while ensuring its structural strength. Simultaneously, the relatively small thickness of the blade body 321 results in a smaller space occupied by it, and sufficient spacing between adjacent blades allows for the smooth routing of airflow through the guide vane 20, preventing any impact on the airflow from the air conditioning outlet module 1.
[0212] The guide vane 32 may also include a rotating shaft 322, which is used to rotatably connect the guide vane 32 to the moving member 31. The rotating shaft 322 is connected to the blade body 321, and the rotating shaft 322 may be integrally formed on the blade body 321 to form an integrally formed guide vane 32. The rotating shaft 322 may be connected to the end of the blade body 321 facing the moving member 31, and the rotating shaft 322 is rotatably connected to the moving member 31, and the blade body 321 rotates around the rotating shaft 322.
[0213] For example, the rotation axis 322 can be located on the central axis of the blade body 321. This results in better force balance for the guide vane 32, leading to improved stability and reliability during rotation. Furthermore, the consistent width of the blade body 321 on both sides of the central axis facilitates the layout and installation of the guide vane 32. The spacing between adjacent blades can be designed based on the width of the blade body 321, ensuring even spacing between the guide vanes 32. Additionally, the guide vane 32 is better suited for 360° rotation scenarios, minimizing its range of motion and the required space, thus reducing the space occupied by the air guiding assembly and contributing to the miniaturization of the air conditioning outlet module 1.
[0214] Figure 15 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the adjustment component provided in an embodiment of this application at an angle. Figure 16 for Figure 15 A magnified view of a section where the guide vanes at point A are in a vertical position. (Combined with...) Figure 15 and Figure 16 As shown, this embodiment also designs the shape of the air guide vane 32 in the adjustment component 30. The air guide vane 32 is used to further adjust the air supply direction, enhance the flexibility of the adjustment component 30 in adjusting the air supply area, and further expand the air supply coverage area of the air conditioning outlet module 1.
[0215] For ease of explanation, in this embodiment, the two opposite sides of the blade body 321 of the guide vane 32 are defined as the first guide side 3213 and the second guide side 3214, respectively. The first guide side 3213 and the second guide side 3214 are located on both sides of the central axis of the blade body 321.
[0216] Specifically, in this embodiment, at least a portion of the air guide vanes 32 in the adjusting assembly 30 are configured with a curved shape. For these curved blade bodies 321, the central axis of the blade body 321 is used as the dividing line. One side of the blade body 321 on its central axis is a first curved portion 3211, and the first air guide side 3213 is the side of the first curved portion 3211 away from the central axis of the blade body 321.
[0217] By designing a first curved portion 3211 on one side of the blade body 321 along its central axis, the first curved portion 3211 causes the first guide side 3213 to deflect towards one side of the blade body 321. Taking the reference plane A of the blade body 321 as a reference, the extension direction of the first guide side 3213 deviates from the reference plane A, and the extension line of the first guide side 3213 forms a first angle α with the reference plane A (see...). Figure 16 (As shown).
[0218] In this context, the reference plane A of the blade body 321 is the orthographic projection plane of the blade body 321, which is formed by orthographically projecting the blade body 321. Furthermore, the reference plane A of the blade body 321 includes the central axis of the blade body 321; in other words, the central axis of the blade body 321 passes through the reference plane A. It can be understood that when the blade body 321 is planar, the plane containing the blade body 321 is the reference plane A.
[0219] When the air guide plate 20 opens the air outlet 11, an air guide channel is formed between the blade bodies 321 of adjacent air guide blades 32, and the airflow at the air outlet 11 is blown to the outside along the air guide channel. Since one side of the blade body 321 is a first bend 3211, the first bend 3211 can generate a Coanda effect in the airflow passing through the air guide channel, changing the direction of the airflow. In turn, the air delivery direction of the regulating component 30 is changed, and the air delivery area of the air conditioning outlet module 1 is adjusted.
[0220] The Coanda effect, also known as the wall adhesion effect or Coanda effect, is a phenomenon in fluid mechanics. Specifically, it manifests as a fluid (water or air) deviating from its original flow direction and instead flowing along a convex surface. When surface friction (or fluid viscosity) exists between the fluid and the surface it flows over, the fluid will flow along that surface as long as the curvature is not too large.
[0221] Therefore, when the airflow in the outlet 11 flows outward along the guide plate 20, it passes over the surface of the first curved portion 3211, and friction occurs between the airflow and the surface of the first curved portion 3211. This changes the direction of the airflow, causing it to flow along the surface of the first curved portion 3211. Finally, when the airflow is blown to the outside through the blade body 321, it can flow along the extension direction of the first guide side 3213. In other words, the extension direction of the first guide side 3213 can be considered as the air delivery direction of the guide blade 32.
[0222] This configuration guides the airflow direction of the air outlet 11 via the first guide side 3213, causing the airflow to flow along the extension direction of the first guide side 3213. The extension line of the first guide side 3213 and the reference plane A containing the blade body 321 form a first angle, effectively changing the direction of the airflow that would normally flow along the extension direction of the reference plane A. Furthermore, this allows for adjustment of the air delivery angle of the regulating component 30, making the air outlet 11 module more flexible in adjusting the air delivery area and further expanding the air delivery coverage area of the central air conditioning system.
[0223] When the air conditioning outlet module 1 is in operation, the first curved portion 3211 in the blade body 321 can be close to the outer side of the outlet 11, and the first air guide side 3213 is the side where the airflow flows out of the air guide channel. In this way, the airflow flows along the surface of the first curved portion 3211, and when the airflow is blown to the outside, it can flow along the extension direction of the first air guide side 3213, thereby changing the air delivery direction of the regulating component 30.
[0224] Furthermore, in order to expand the air delivery area of the adjustment component 30, when the first air guide side 3213 faces outward from the air outlet 11, the first curved portion 3211 can cause the first air guide side 3213 to deflect towards the same side of the air outlet 11. (Refer to...) Figure 16 As shown, with the guide vane 32 in a vertical position as a reference, when the blade body 321 of the guide vane 32 is perpendicular to the length direction of the air outlet 11, the extension line of the first guide side 3213 can extend to the same side of the air outlet 11. Taking the position of the guide vane 32 closer to the left side of the length direction of the air outlet 11 as an example, the first guide side 3213 can be tilted to the left side of the air outlet 11. When the blade body 321 of the guide vane 32 is perpendicular to the length direction of the air outlet 11, the extension line of the first guide side 3213 can extend to the left side of the air outlet 11.
[0225] To ensure the regulating assembly 30 has a large air supply coverage area, the guide vanes 32 are typically directed towards the same side of the air outlet 11. For example, the guide vanes 32 on the left side of the length direction of the air outlet 11 direct airflow to the left side of the air outlet 11, and the guide vanes 32 on the right side of the length direction of the air outlet 11 direct airflow to the right side of the air outlet 11. By extending the extension line of the first guide side 3213 towards the same side of the air outlet 11, when the first guide side 3213 faces outward from the air outlet 11, the air supply deflection angle of the guide vanes 32 can be further increased when the guide vanes 32 direct airflow towards the same side of the air outlet 11. This, in turn, expands the air supply area of the regulating assembly 30.
[0226] Regarding the airflow guidance of the aforementioned guide vane 32 to the same side of the air outlet 11, the following two examples illustrate this: For the guide vane 32 located on the left side of the length direction of the air outlet 11, when the guide vane 32 guides air to the left side of the air outlet 11, the first guide side 3213 can further deflect the airflow angle of the guide vane 32 towards the left side of the air outlet 11. For the guide vane 32 located on the right side of the length direction of the air outlet 11, when the guide vane 32 guides air to the right side of the air outlet 11, the first guide side 3213 can further deflect the airflow angle of the guide vane 32 towards the right side of the air outlet 11. This increases the airflow deflection angle of the regulating component 30 to both sides of the air outlet 11, expanding the airflow area and coverage of the air conditioning outlet module 1.
[0227] Of course, in some embodiments, when the air conditioning outlet module 1 is in operation, the first curved portion 3211 in the blade body 321 can also face the inner side of the outlet 11, and the first air guide side 3213 is the side where the airflow flows into the air guide channel. In this way, the airflow direction can be changed when the airflow flows into the air guide channel. After the airflow flows along the surface of the first curved portion 3211 in the air guide channel, the airflow direction is changed. Furthermore, the airflow direction after flowing out of the air guide blade 32 is also changed, thereby changing the air delivery direction of the regulating component 30.
[0228] At this time, in order to expand the air supply area of the adjustment component 30, the first curved portion 3211 can also deflect the first air guide side 3213 toward the same side of the air outlet 11. When the air guide blade 32 is perpendicular to the length direction of the air outlet 11, the extension line of the first air guide side 3213 can extend toward the same side inside the air outlet 11. In this way, when the air guide blade 32 needs to guide air toward the same side of the air outlet 11, the extension line of the first air guide side 3213 of the air guide blade 32 is made perpendicular to the length direction of the air outlet 11, or the extension line of the first air guide side 3213 of the air guide blade 32 is deflected toward the other side of the air outlet 11, so as to ensure that when the airflow flows outward from the air outlet 11, the overall flow is biased toward the same side of the air outlet 11.
[0229] Taking the guide vane 32 located on the left side of the air outlet 11 along its length as an example, when the guide vane 32 guides air to the left side of the air outlet 11, the extension line of the first guiding side 3213 of the guide vane 32 towards the inside of the air outlet 11 can be perpendicular to the length of the air outlet 11. Alternatively, the extension line of the first guiding side 3213 of the guide vane 32 can extend inward towards the air outlet 11 and be deflected to the right side of the air outlet 11. In this way, the guide vane 32 as a whole is deflected to the left side of the air outlet 11, which can achieve air guidance to the left side of the air outlet 11.
[0230] Thus, using the centerline along the length of the air outlet 11 as a boundary, when the air conditioning outlet module 1 is working, the guide vane 32 on the left side of the air outlet 11 can deflect to the left (for example, the guide vane 32 in the left-side moving member 31 of the two adjusting components 30 deflects to the left). Through the guiding effect of the first bending portion 3211, the air delivery angle and air delivery area to the left side of the air outlet 11 are expanded. Simultaneously, the guide vane 32 on the right side of the air outlet 11 can deflect to the right (for example, the guide vane 32 in the right-side moving member 31 of the two adjusting components 30 deflects to the right). Through the guiding effect of the first bending portion 3211, the air delivery angle and air delivery area to the right side of the air outlet 11 are expanded. Therefore, the air delivery coverage area of the air conditioning outlet module 1 is significantly expanded.
[0231] Alternatively, the guide vanes 32 on both sides of the air outlet 11 can be deflected to the left (for example, the guide vanes 32 in both adjustment components 30 can be deflected to the left). In this case, the angle at which all the guide vanes 32 on the left side of the air outlet 11 deflect to the left of the air outlet 11 is increased. Furthermore, the moving part 31 in the right adjustment component 30 can be deflected to the left, causing the guide vanes 32 on it to deflect to the left by an increased angle. Even the moving part 31 in the left adjustment component 30 can be deflected to the left, causing the guide vanes 32 on it to deflect to the left by an increased angle. Therefore, the angle at which the air conditioning outlet module 1 guides the air to the left has a significant increase.
[0232] Similarly, the guide vanes 32 located on both sides of the air outlet 11 can all deflect to the right (for example, the guide vanes 32 in both adjustment components 30 deflect to the right). At this time, the angle at which all the guide vanes 32 on the right side of the air outlet 11 deflect to the right is increased. Furthermore, the moving part 31 in the left adjustment component 30 can also deflect to the right, causing the guide vanes 32 on it to deflect to the right at an increased angle. Even the moving part 31 in the right adjustment component 30 can be deflected to the right, causing the guide vanes 32 on it to deflect to the right at an increased angle. Therefore, the angle at which the air conditioning outlet module 1 directs air to the right has a significant increase.
[0233] The following explanation will be based on the example of the air conditioner outlet module 1 being in operation, where the first curved part 3211 of the air guide blade 32 faces the outside of the air outlet 11 and the first air guide side 3213 is tilted to the same side of the air outlet 11.
[0234] Specifically, taking a guide vane 32 located on the left side of the air outlet 11 along its length as an example, if the first angle α between the extension line of the first guide side 3213 of the guide vane 32 and its reference plane A is 30°, when the guide vane 32 is perpendicular to the length of the air outlet 11, the angle between the extension line of its first guide side 3213 and the perpendicular line to the air outlet 11 (the line perpendicular to the plane where the air outlet 11 is located) is 30°, thus achieving a 30° leftward deflection of the air delivery angle of the guide vane 32. When the guide vane 32 deflects 15° to the left, the angle between the extension line of its first guide side 3213 and the perpendicular line to the air outlet 11 is 45°, thus achieving a 45° leftward deflection of the air delivery angle of the guide vane 32.
[0235] Thus, when the guide vane 32 directs airflow to the same side of the outlet 11, the blade body 321 of the guide vane 32 deflects at a certain angle to the same side of the outlet 11. Combined with the angle between the first guide side 3213 of the blade body 321 and the reference plane A, this results in a larger deflection angle of the first guide side 3213 to the same side of the outlet 11. This increases the air delivery angle of the blade body 321, resulting in a larger air delivery area and wider air delivery coverage of the adjustment assembly 30.
[0236] Meanwhile, with a fixed air delivery angle for the guide vane 32, the deflection angle of the blade body 321 is the required air delivery angle minus the first included angle α between the first guide side 3213 of the blade body 321 and the reference plane A, resulting in a smaller required deflection angle for the blade body 321. This reduces the rotation angle required by the drive motor 331 to rotate the blade body 321, thus reducing energy consumption of the drive motor 331, which helps save energy consumption of the adjustment component 30 and lowers the overall energy consumption of the air conditioning outlet module 1.
[0237] Continue to refer to Figure 16 In some embodiments, in addition to designing one side of the blade body 321 as a first curved portion 3211, the other side of the blade body 321 can also be designed as a second curved portion 3212. That is, both sides of the central axis of the blade body 321 are designed as curved portions. Among them, the side of the second curved portion 3212 away from the central axis of the blade body 321 is the second guide side 3214 of the blade body 321. The extension direction of the second guide side 3214 also deviates from the reference plane A, and the extension line of the second guide side 3214 has a second included angle β with the reference plane A.
[0238] Thus, when the blade body 321 rotates to the outer side of the second curved portion 3212 near the air outlet 11 and the second air guide side 3214 faces the outside of the air outlet 11, the airflow in the air guide channel flows along the surface of the second curved portion 3212. When the airflow is blown to the outside, it can flow along the extension direction of the second air guide side 3214, thereby changing the air delivery direction of the regulating component 30.
[0239] Figure 17 for Figure 15 A magnified view of a section where the guide vane at point A is in a different vertical position. (Refer to...) Figure 17 As shown, similar to the first curved portion 3211, when the second air guide side 3214 faces outward from the air outlet 11, the second curved portion 3212 can cause the second air guide side 3214 to deflect to the same side of the air outlet 11. Figure 17 Taking the guide vane 32 in a reverse vertical position as a reference, when the blade body 321 of the guide vane 32 is perpendicular to the length direction of the air outlet 11, the extension line of the second guide side 3214 can extend to the same side of the air outlet 11. Taking the position of the guide vane 32 closer to the left side of the length direction of the air outlet 11 as an example, the second guide side 3214 can be tilted to the left side of the air outlet 11. When the guide vane 32 is perpendicular to the length direction of the air outlet 11, the extension line of the second guide side 3214 can extend to the left side of the air outlet 11.
[0240] Thus, when the second air guide side 3214 faces outward from the air outlet 11, and the air guide blade 32 guides air to the same side of the air outlet 11, the second air guide side 3214 can further increase the air delivery deflection angle of the air guide blade 32. This, in turn, expands the air delivery area of the adjustment assembly 30.
[0241] Meanwhile, with a fixed air delivery angle for the guide vane 32, the deflection angle of the blade body 321 is the required air delivery angle minus the second included angle β between the second guide side 3214 of the blade body 321 and the reference plane A. This results in a smaller required deflection angle for the blade body 321. Consequently, the angle at which the drive motor 331 drives the blade body 321 to rotate is smaller, leading to lower energy consumption for the drive motor 331 and thus saving energy for the adjustment assembly 30. Further details are omitted here.
[0242] like Figure 16As shown, taking the length direction of the guide vane 32 perpendicular to the air outlet 11 as a reference, when the first guide side 3213 faces the outside of the air outlet 11, the extension line of the first guide side 3213 extends to the same side of the air outlet 11. At this time, the second guide side 3214 faces the inside of the air outlet 11, and the extension line of the second guide side 3214 extends to the opposite side of the air outlet 11. Taking the left side of the guide vane 32 near the air outlet 11 as an example, the extension line of the first guide side 3213 facing outwards from the air outlet 11 can extend to the left side of the air outlet 11, and the extension line of the second guide side 3214 facing inwards from the air outlet 11 can extend to the right side of the air outlet 11.
[0243] like Figure 17 As shown, when the second air guide side 3214 faces the outside of the air outlet 11, the extension line of the second air guide side 3214 extends to the same side of the air outlet 11. At this time, the first air guide side 3213 faces the inside of the air outlet 11, and the extension line of the first air guide side 3213 extends to the opposite side of the air outlet 11. Taking the left side of the air guide blade 32 near the air outlet 11 as an example, the extension line of the second air guide side 3214 facing outwards from the air outlet 11 can extend to the left side of the air outlet 11, and the extension line of the first air guide side 3213 facing inwards from the air outlet 11 can extend to the right side of the air outlet 11.
[0244] When the air conditioning vent module 1 is working, the air guide vanes 32 can be in the first open state. In this state, the first air guide side 3213 of the air guide vanes 32 faces the outside of the air outlet 11, and the second air guide side 3214 faces the inside of the air outlet 11. Alternatively, the air guide vanes 32 can be in the second open state. In this state, the second air guide side 3214 of the air guide vanes 32 faces the outside of the air outlet 11, and the first air guide side 3213 faces the inside of the air outlet 11.
[0245] With this configuration, the air guide vane 32 can increase the airflow deflection angle using both the first air guide side 3213 and the second air guide side 3214. This eliminates limitations on the rotation angle of the air guide vane 32, making its control more flexible and its operation simpler.
[0246] In some embodiments, the degree of curvature of the first curved portion 3211 may be greater than the degree of curvature of the second curved portion 3212. Furthermore, comparing the first included angle α between the extension line of the first air guide side 3213 and the reference plane A, and the second included angle β between the extension line of the second air guide side 3214 and the reference plane A, the angle of the first included angle α is greater than the angle of the second included angle β.
[0247] With this configuration, when the guide vane 32 is in the first open state, and the first guide side 3213 of the guide vane 32 faces outward from the air outlet 11, the airflow flowing out of the guide channel deflects at a relatively larger angle towards the same side of the air outlet 11. Conversely, when the guide vane 32 is in the second open state, and the second guide side 3214 of the guide vane 32 faces outward from the air outlet 11, the airflow flowing out of the guide channel deflects at a relatively smaller angle towards the same side of the air outlet 11.
[0248] Therefore, users can adjust the opening state of the air guide vanes 32 according to actual needs, so that the first air guide side 3213 of the air guide vanes 32 faces outward or the second air guide side 3214 of the air guide vanes 32 faces outward, in order to obtain different air delivery directions and air delivery areas. The adjustment component 30 can more flexibly adjust the air delivery coverage range, which can improve the user experience of the air conditioning outlet module 1.
[0249] Furthermore, due to the inconsistent curvature of the first curved portion 3211 and the second curved portion 3212, the skewness of the first air guide side 3213 is greater than that of the second air guide side 3214. The different structures on both sides of the central axis of the air guide blade 32 facilitate the identification and installation of the air guide blade 32. When assembling the adjustment assembly 30, the first air guide side 3213 of each air guide blade 32 can be arranged to face one side of the moving member 31, and the second air guide side 3214 of each air guide blade 32 can be arranged to face the other side of the moving member 31, ensuring the correct assembly of the adjustment assembly 30 and reducing the probability of rework and scrapping of the adjustment assembly 30.
[0250] Especially when the first curved portion 3211 is close to the outside of the air outlet 11 and the first guide side 3213 faces the outside of the air outlet 11, the large curvature of the first curved portion 3211 and the large deflection angle of the first guide side 3213 allow the airflow to better utilize the Coanda effect and expand the air outlet angle of the guide vane 32 as it flows along the first curved portion 3211 to the first guide side 3213 for outward air delivery. Simultaneously, when the second curved portion 3212 is close to the inside of the air outlet 11 and the second guide side 3214 faces the inside of the air outlet 11, the small curvature of the second curved portion 3212 and the large deflection angle of the second guide side 3214 further reduce the wind resistance in the air guide channel, increase the gas velocity in the air guide channel, and improve the air guiding efficiency of the guide vane 32.
[0251] Continue to refer to Figure 14As shown, the blade body 321 of the guide vane 32 may also have a plurality of air outlet holes 324 distributed therethrough, the air outlet holes 324 penetrating both sides of the blade body 321 in the thickness direction. When the blade body 321 is the aforementioned curved shape, a plurality of air outlet holes 324 may be provided on the blade body 321. When the blade body 321 is planar, a plurality of air outlet holes 324 may also be provided on the blade body 321. All blade bodies 321 of the adjusting assembly 30 may have air outlet holes 324 provided.
[0252] By opening several air outlet holes 324 on the blade body 321, when the air conditioning outlet module 1 is in working state, the airflow blown out of the outlet 11 can flow outward through the air outlet holes 324 on the blade body 321.
[0253] Specifically, when the guide vanes 32 are in the open state, there is an angle between the guide vanes 32 and the plane of the air outlet 11, forming an air guide channel between adjacent guide vanes 32. At this time, part of the airflow blown out of the air outlet 11 flows outward along the air guide channel, and part of it can flow outward through the air outlet holes 324 on the blade body 321. In this way, the air supply effect of the air conditioning outlet module 1 is improved by utilizing the air outlet holes 324 on the blade body 321.
[0254] When the air conditioning vent module 1 supplies air outward through the adjustment component 30, in addition to generating a first airflow flowing outward along the air guide channel, a second airflow also flows outward through the air outlet 324. The direction of the second airflow is different from that of the first airflow. Under the counteracting effect of the second airflow on the first airflow, the flow rate of the first airflow can be slowed down, preventing strong winds from being blown out of the air outlet 11. This makes the air supply effect of the air conditioning vent module 1 gentler and improves the user comfort of the air conditioning vent module 1.
[0255] It should be noted that the diameter of the air outlet 324 on the blade body 321 is small, and the airflow in the duct will still preferentially flow outward through the air guide channel between adjacent guide blades 32. Therefore, most of the airflow in the duct will flow out through the air guide channel between adjacent guide blades 32, and only a small portion of the airflow will flow out through the air outlet 324. This small portion of airflow passing through the air outlet 324 can play a good role in counteracting and mixing the airflow, thereby reducing the outlet airflow velocity. At the same time, it will not have a significant impact on the overall air supply direction and air supply area of the regulating component 30, thus ensuring the air supply regulation effect of the regulating component 30.
[0256] When the guide vanes 32 are closed, they are generally parallel to the plane of the air outlet 11. All guide vanes 32 of the adjusting assembly 30 can be located on the same straight line, with only a small installation gap between adjacent guide vanes 32. At this time, the airflow blowing out of the duct flows outward primarily through the air outlet holes 324 on the vane body 321. Because the diameter of the air outlet holes 324 is small and the opening area of the vane body 321 is limited, the airflow rate from the air outlet holes 324 of each guide vane 32 is relatively small, resulting in a smaller air volume and lower wind speed for the air conditioning outlet module 1.
[0257] For example, when the air conditioner outlet module 1 is heating, the guide vanes 32 can be kept closed, and hot air is delivered outward solely through the air outlet holes 324 on each guide vane 32. Because the hot air velocity is low, the blade body 321 has low wind resistance to the hot air, allowing the hot air to be stably output outward through the air outlet holes 324 on the blade body 321. Furthermore, by outputting hot air only through the air outlet holes 324 on the blade body 321, the flow rate of the hot air can be limited, maintaining the indoor space at a suitable temperature and reducing the energy consumption of the air conditioner outlet module 1.
[0258] The air outlet holes 324 are evenly distributed on the surface of the blade body 321. This ensures that the blade body has sufficient opening area, allowing the second airflow passing through the air outlet holes 324 to have sufficient air volume. This ensures that the second airflow can effectively reduce the velocity of the first airflow, thus softening the airflow from the air conditioning outlet module 1. Furthermore, because the air outlet holes 324 are evenly distributed across the blade body 321, the pressure exerted by the second airflow on the blade body 321 is evenly distributed across the blade body 321. This results in good stress uniformity on the blade body 321, improving its reliability and service life.
[0259] For example, the air outlets 324 can be arrayed on the surface of the blade body 321. Multiple rows of air outlets 324 are arranged sequentially along the height direction of the blade body 321 (the height direction of the blade body 321 is, for example, the width direction of the air outlets 324), and each row of air outlets 324 includes multiple air outlets 324 sequentially arranged along the width direction of the blade body 321. Adjacent rows of air outlets 324 can be staggered, wherein each air outlet 324 in one row can be located between two adjacent air outlets 324 in another row.
[0260] In one embodiment, at least two adjusting components 30 may be sequentially arranged along the width direction of the air guide plate 20. A certain gap exists between the at least two adjusting components 30 along the width direction of the air guide plate 20, so that the air guide blades 32 of adjacent adjusting components 30 arranged along the width direction of the air guide plate 20 will not interfere with each other when they rotate.
[0261] Understandably, when the air conditioning outlet module 1 is applied to a central air conditioning system, the air outlet 11 of the central air conditioning system is usually large. If only a single layer of guide vanes 32 is arranged in the guide vane 20, since the single layer of guide vanes 32 occupies little space, some air may flow directly outward from the space around the guide vanes 32 without being guided. Setting two or more layers of guide vanes 32 can increase the coverage area of the guide vanes 32, enhance the air guiding capacity of the regulating component 30, and achieve a larger range of air guiding for the air conditioning outlet module 1.
[0262] This application also provides a central air conditioning system, which may include a compressor, a condenser, an evaporator, and an air outlet module 1 as described above.
[0263] The compressor drives the refrigerant circulation within the central air conditioning system, while the condenser condenses the high-temperature, high-pressure gaseous refrigerant into a liquid state. The evaporator evaporates the liquid refrigerant in a low-pressure environment, absorbing heat from the indoor air, thus lowering the air temperature and generating cool air that is output from the air conditioning outlet module 1.
[0264] The central air conditioning system provided in this application, since it includes the aforementioned air conditioning outlet module 1, has all the technical effects of the air conditioning outlet module 1, which will not be repeated here.
