[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air conditioning technology, and in particular to an air outlet assembly and an indoor unit of an air conditioner having the same. Background Technology
[0002] The air outlet frame of the indoor unit of the air conditioner is rotatably connected to the air outlet of the frame to guide the flow of heat exchange air. Some existing air outlet frames have a rotating shaft. During installation, the shaft needs to be inserted axially into a mounting hole in the air outlet duct of the indoor unit so that the air outlet frame can rotate around the shaft. To ensure the stability of the connection between the air outlet frame and the frame and prevent the shaft from coming out of the mounting hole, the longer the shaft is inserted, the better the connection stability. However, while ensuring the stability of the shaft connection, the air outlet frame needs to move a considerable distance axially along the shaft during installation. This makes the air outlet frame susceptible to interference from the frame or other components of the indoor unit, making installation difficult. Utility Model Content

Alternatively, the cross-sectional profile of the first rotating shaft includes two straight line segments and two arc-shaped line segments arranged alternately and connected end to end, with the two straight line segments arranged in parallel.
[0019] The first pivot and the notch are arranged such that:
[0020] When the first rotating shaft is at a first rotation angle relative to the mounting hole, the first rotating shaft can pass through the notch.
[0021] When the first rotating shaft is at a second rotation angle relative to the mounting hole, the notch prevents the first rotating shaft from passing through.
[0022] Optionally, the length of the first rotating shaft within the mounting hole is 1 / 3 to 1 / 3 of the length of the mounting hole.

This eliminates the need for the air outlet frame to move axially along the first rotating shaft, avoiding interference from the frame or other components of the indoor unit of the air conditioner when the air outlet frame moves axially along the first rotating shaft. This ensures the feasibility of installing the air outlet frame and makes the installation of the air outlet frame easier to operate.

[0049] Figure 1 This is a schematic structural diagram of an air outlet assembly according to an embodiment of the present invention, as shown below. Figure 1 As shown, and with reference Figures 2 to 7 This utility model provides an air outlet assembly for an air conditioner. The air outlet assembly includes a frame 100, a mounting bracket 200, and an air outlet frame 300.
[0050] An air outlet duct 110 is provided on the frame 100.
[0051] The mounting bracket 200 is disposed within the air outlet duct 110. The mounting bracket 200 has a mounting hole 210 and a notch 220 penetrating the peripheral wall of the mounting hole 210.
[0052] The air outlet frame 300 is rotatably disposed within the air outlet channel 110. A first rotating shaft 350 is provided on the air outlet frame 300, and the first rotating shaft 350 is mounted to the mounting hole 210 via a notch 220.
[0053] In this embodiment, the air outlet frame 300 is rotatably connected to the mounting bracket 200 along the axis of the first rotating shaft 350 through the engagement of the first rotating shaft 350 with the mounting hole 210. The air outlet frame 300 is disposed within the air outlet channel 110 to guide the flow direction of the heat exchange air flowing out from the air outlet frame 300. During the assembly of the air outlet assembly, the first rotating shaft 350 can enter the mounting hole 210 radially through the notch 220 of the mounting hole 210. That is, the first rotating shaft 350 can move into the mounting hole 210 through the notch 220 in a direction perpendicular to the axis of the first rotating shaft 350, so that the air outlet frame 300 does not need to move axially along the first rotating shaft 350. This avoids interference from the frame 100 or other components of the indoor unit of the air conditioner when the air outlet frame 300 moves axially along the first rotating shaft 350, ensuring the feasibility of installing the air outlet frame 300 and making the installation of the air outlet frame 300 easier to operate.
[0054] Especially when the air outlet duct 110 and the air outlet frame 300 are relatively long, in order to prevent the first rotating shaft 350 from coming off, the insertion depth of the first rotating shaft 350 into the mounting hole 210 needs to be relatively long, thus requiring the length of the first rotating shaft 350 to be designed to be relatively long. During the installation of the air outlet frame 300, because the mounting hole 210 has a notch 220, the air outlet frame 300 does not need to move too far along the axial direction of the first rotating shaft 350, thereby avoiding interference between the long air outlet frame 300 and the frame 100.
[0055] Moreover, the installation of the air outlet frame 300 is not affected by the length of the first rotating shaft 350, which allows the length of the first rotating shaft 350 to be set to a longer dimension, satisfying its installation stability and thus improving the working stability of the air outlet assembly.
[0056] In some embodiments of this utility model, the air outlet assembly further includes a limiting device 400, which is disposed between the air outlet frame 300 and the mounting bracket 200, or between the air outlet frame 300 and the frame 100, and is configured to limit the rotation path of the first rotating shaft 350 after the first rotating shaft 350 enters the mounting hole 210 through the notch 220.
[0057] In this embodiment, after the first rotating shaft 350 enters the mounting hole 210 through the notch 220, the limiting device 400 limits the rotation path of the first rotating shaft 350, thereby restricting the first rotating shaft 350 from moving radially, so that the first rotating shaft 350 cannot come out of the mounting hole 210, thus ensuring the stability of the rotation of the air outlet frame 300.
[0058] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 5 As shown, the limiting device 400 includes a path groove 411 and a limiting member 420.
[0059] The path slot 411 is set on the skeleton 100.
[0060] One end of the limiting member 420 is connected to the air outlet frame 300, and the other end is inserted into the path groove 411. The limiting member 420 is arranged such that after the first rotating shaft 350 enters the mounting hole 210 through the notch 220 and rotates, it connects to the air outlet frame 300.
[0061] In this embodiment, the limiting member 420 is inserted into the path groove 411 on the frame 100. Since the limiting member 420 is connected to the air outlet frame 300, when the air outlet frame 300 rotates, the limiting member 420 rotates synchronously with the air outlet frame 300. When the limiting member 420 is blocked by the path groove 411, the rotation of the air outlet frame 300 is also restricted, thereby preventing the first rotating shaft 350 from coming out of the mounting hole 210. The structure that achieves the limiting effect through the cooperation of the path groove 411 and the limiting member 420 is simple, easy to manufacture, and has a low cost.
[0062] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 5 As shown, a perforation 120 is provided at one end of the skeleton 100.
[0063] An annular protrusion 410 is provided on the outward-facing surface of this end of the skeleton 100, and a notch is provided on the annular protrusion, the notch being a path groove 411. The notch is provided to penetrate the annular protrusion 410 radially.
[0064] Alternatively, two protruding pillars are provided on the outward-facing surface of this end of the skeleton 100, with a path groove 411 between the two protruding pillars.
[0065] Alternatively, the path groove 411 is formed on the outward-facing surface of that end of the skeleton 100.
[0066] A second rotating shaft 500 is connected to the limiting member 420. The second rotating shaft 500 passes through the through hole 120 and is connected to the corresponding end of the air outlet frame 300.
[0067] In this embodiment, the limiting member 420 is connected to the air outlet frame 300 via the second rotating shaft 500 passing through the through hole 120 on the frame 100, allowing the limiting member 420 and the air outlet frame 300 to rotate synchronously. The path groove 411 further constrains the limiting member 420, controlling the swing range of the air outlet frame 300 and preventing excessive swing angles. This avoids interference between the air outlet frame 300 and other components of the indoor unit, preventing the heat exchange airflow from flowing out normally. The structure, achieved through the cooperation of the path groove 411 and the limiting member 420, is simple, easy to manufacture, and has a low cost.
[0068] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 3 As shown, a third rotating shaft 360 is provided at the other end of the air outlet frame 300, and a rotating hole 130 is provided at the corresponding other end of the frame 100 for the third rotating shaft 360 to pass through or be inserted.
[0069] In this embodiment, the third rotating shaft 360 is disposed at the end of the air outlet frame 300 away from the limiting member 420 and is inserted into the rotating hole 130 at the corresponding end of the frame 100. The first rotating shaft 350, the second rotating shaft 500, and the third rotating shaft 360 are coaxially arranged. During the installation of the air outlet frame 300, the third rotating shaft 360 is first inserted into the rotating hole 130, then the first rotating shaft 350 is moved into the mounting hole 210 from the notch 220 of the mounting hole 210, and then the third rotating shaft 360 is fully inserted into the rotating hole 130 along the axial direction. Finally, the air outlet frame 300 is connected to the second rotating shaft 500, which passes through the through hole 120 and is connected to the limiting member 420, to complete the installation of the air outlet frame 300. The cooperation between the first rotating shaft 350, the second rotating shaft 500, and the third rotating shaft 360 and the frame 100 provides the air outlet frame 300 with more stable rotational support, ensuring the stability of the air outlet frame 300's rotation.
[0070] Preferably, in some embodiments of the present invention, the third rotating shaft 360 is located at the bottom end of the air outlet frame 300.
[0071] In this embodiment, before installing the first rotating shaft 350, the third rotating shaft 360 can be placed against the rotating hole 130 to provide upward support to the air outlet frame 300. Then, the first rotating shaft 350 can be moved from the notch 220 of the mounting hole 210 into the mounting hole 210, which simplifies the installation of the air outlet frame 300.
[0072] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, a first connecting block 421 is provided at one end of the air outlet frame 300, and a second connecting block 510 is provided at one end of the second rotating shaft 500. The second connecting block 510 is connected to one side of the first connecting block 421, and the second connecting block 510 and the first connecting block 421 are connected by screws.
[0073] In this embodiment, the screw connection provides a detachable connection between the first connecting block 421 and the second connecting block 510, ensuring structural strength while maintaining ease of installation and maintenance. Furthermore, the bolt connection eliminates the need to move the air outlet frame 300 to insert the second rotating shaft 500 into the through hole 120, simplifying the installation of the air outlet frame 300.
[0074] In some embodiments of this utility model, the contact surfaces of the first connecting block 421 and the second connecting block 510 may be provided with positioning bosses and corresponding positioning grooves to achieve rapid and accurate alignment of the first connecting block 421 and the second connecting block 510.
[0075] In some embodiments of this utility model, the cross-sectional profile of the first rotating shaft 350 includes a straight line segment and an arc-shaped line segment connecting the two ends of the straight line segment.
[0076] Alternatively, in some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 4 As shown, the cross-sectional profile of the first rotating shaft 350 includes two straight line segments 351 and two arc-shaped line segments 352 that are alternately arranged and connected end to end, with the two straight line segments 351 arranged in parallel.
[0077] The first pivot 350 and the notch 220 are arranged such that:
[0078] When the first rotating shaft 350 is at a first rotation angle relative to the mounting hole 210, the first rotating shaft 350 can pass through the notch 220.
[0079] When the first rotating shaft 350 is at a second rotation angle relative to the mounting hole 210, the notch 220 prevents the first rotating shaft 350 from passing through.
[0080] In this embodiment, the first rotating shaft 350 adopts a cross-sectional design combining a straight line segment 351 and an arc-shaped line segment 352. This design aligns the straight line segment 351 with the notch 220 at the first rotation angle, allowing the first rotating shaft 350 to pass through the notch 220 and be assembled. At the second rotation angle, the arc-shaped line segment 352 interferes with the notch 220, preventing the first rotating shaft 350 from detaching. This structure requires no additional parts and is easy to manufacture, reducing the production cost of the air outlet assembly.
[0081] In some embodiments of this utility model, the length of the first rotating shaft 350 within the mounting hole 210 is 1 / 3 to 1 / 3 of the length of the mounting hole 210.
[0082] In this embodiment, the effective mating length of the first rotating shaft 350 within the mounting hole 210 is greater than 1 / 3 of the total length of the mounting hole 210, in order to prevent the first rotating shaft 350 from coming out of the mounting hole 210 and to ensure the stability of the air outlet frame 300 when rotating.
[0083] Alternatively, in some embodiments of this utility model, both ends of the first rotating shaft 350 are located outside the mounting hole 210.
[0084] In this embodiment, both ends of the first rotating shaft 350 extend to the outside of the mounting hole 210. This structure makes the connection between the first rotating shaft 350 and the mounting hole 210 more stable, prevents the first rotating shaft 350 from coming out of the mounting hole 210, and ensures the stability of the air outlet frame 300 when it rotates.
[0085] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 1 As shown, mounting bracket 200 is a mounting plate.
[0086] The air outlet frame 300 includes a first frame portion 310, a second frame portion 320, and two connecting plates 330. The first frame portion 310 and the second frame portion 320 are connected by the two connecting plates 330, and a connecting hole 340 is defined by the end of the first frame portion 310 adjacent to the second frame portion 320, the end of the second frame portion 320 adjacent to the first frame portion 310, and the two connecting plates 330. The first rotating shaft 350 is located within the connecting hole 340.
[0087] The first pivot 350 is connected to the first frame portion 310 or the second frame portion 320.
[0088] The air outlet frame 300 extends vertically.
[0089] In this embodiment, the mounting plate extends axially perpendicular to the first rotating shaft 350. The mounting plate and the first rotating shaft 350 are disposed within the connecting hole 340 located between the second rotating shaft 500 and the third rotating shaft 360 to improve the rotational stability of the air outlet frame 300.
[0090] Alternatively, in some embodiments of this utility model, the two ends of the first rotating shaft 350 are respectively connected to the first frame portion 310 and the second frame portion 320 to improve the connection stability of the first rotating shaft 350 and at the same time improve the structural strength of the air outlet frame 300.
[0091] This utility model provides an indoor unit for an air conditioner. The indoor unit includes the air outlet assembly found in any of the above embodiments.
[0092] In this embodiment, the air outlet frame 300 is rotatably connected to the mounting bracket 200 along the axis of the first rotating shaft 350 through the engagement of the first rotating shaft 350 with the mounting hole 210. The air outlet frame 300 is disposed within the air outlet channel 110 to guide the flow direction of the heat exchange air flowing out from the air outlet frame 300. During the assembly of the air outlet assembly, the first rotating shaft 350 can enter the mounting hole 210 radially through the notch 220 of the mounting hole 210. That is, the first rotating shaft 350 can move into the mounting hole 210 through the notch 220 in a direction perpendicular to the axis of the first rotating shaft 350, so that the air outlet frame 300 does not need to move axially along the first rotating shaft 350. This avoids interference from the frame 100 or other components of the indoor unit of the air conditioner when the air outlet frame 300 moves axially along the first rotating shaft 350, ensuring the feasibility of installing the air outlet frame 300 and making the installation of the air outlet frame 300 easier to operate.
