Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air conditioning technology, specifically to an optimized air conditioning air outlet grille. Background Technology
[0002] The air vent grille is an important component at the air conditioner's vent, consisting of horizontal (outer) and vertical (inner) guide vanes. By adjusting the angle of these vanes, the direction of the airflow can be changed, allowing the air to be directed to different areas as needed. Common materials include aluminum alloy, stainless steel, ABS plastic, and PVC, with variations in strength, corrosion resistance, aesthetics, and price. During use, the air vent grille needs to be disassembled and reassembled for easy cleaning.
[0003] Utility model patent CN202221837737.5 discloses an air conditioner vent that is easy to install and disassemble. This vent includes an external fixed housing, which is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the vent. An air conditioner venting mechanism is detachably installed inside the external fixed housing. The venting mechanism includes a movable U-shaped frame, and a limiting component is slidably connected inside the frame. By fixing the external fixed housing to the inner wall of the vent and then pressing the vent grille backward, a square slider slides back and forth inside a square groove. Simultaneously, the folding plate and the vent grille... The connecting end will move backward, at which point the connecting ends of the folding plate and the connecting long plate will approach each other, and the two square mounting plates will approach each other. The square mounting plates will completely retract into the interior of the square through hole. Then, the air conditioning outlet mechanism will be placed inside the outer fixed housing, so that the outer surface of the moving U-shaped frame contacts the inner wall of the outer fixed housing until the back of the moving U-shaped frame contacts the front surface of the U-shaped baffle. At this point, the air outlet grille will no longer be squeezed. Due to the elastic force of the return spring, the air outlet grille will move forward. At this point, the two square mounting plates will move away from each other, so that the square mounting plates are inserted into the corresponding square mounting holes, thus realizing the installation of the air conditioning outlet mechanism.
[0004] Although the easily installable and removable air conditioning vent facilitates the assembly and disassembly of the air vent grille, the device still presents the following problems in practical use: While the grille grille can be easily installed and disassembled with the aid of a limiting component, this component is installed in the airflow path of the grille. When airflow passes through, some airflow directly impacts and is obstructed by the limiting component. This not only reduces airflow efficiency, resulting in a decrease in the effective airflow volume per unit time, but also interferes with the uniformity of airflow, causing turbulence after passing through the limiting component. Furthermore, this design requires users to reach through the grille to disassemble it, which is not only inconvenient but also poses a safety hazard. Therefore, we propose a structurally optimized air conditioning vent grille. Utility Model Content
[0005] This utility model aims to at least partially solve one of the technical problems in related technologies. Therefore, one objective of this utility model is to propose an optimized air conditioning vent grille. Through the interlocking or disengaging of the locking block and slot, it not only facilitates the quick assembly and disassembly of the inner frame and grille frame, but also ensures convenient and safe operation while guaranteeing unobstructed airflow.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0007] An optimized air conditioner vent grille includes an outer frame with an open shape. The opening of the outer frame has fixing grooves on both the left and right side walls. Each fixing groove has a slot at its top.
[0008] An inner frame is installed in the opening of the outer frame. The inner frame is open and a hollowed-out grid frame is fixed inside the opening of the inner frame. Fixing blocks are fixed on the left and right outer walls of the inner frame and are inserted into the fixing grooves.
[0009] Each side wall of the fixed block near the inner frame has a sliding cavity. Two guide rods are fixed at the bottom of the sliding cavity, and springs are sleeved on the outside of each guide rod. A slider is also slidably installed at the top of the sliding cavity. The bottom of the slider has a sliding hole that is slidably connected to the guide rod. A locking block is fixed at the center of the top of the slider. After the locking block passes through the top of the fixed block, it engages with the locking groove to restrict the fixed block within the fixed groove.
[0010] In addition, the air conditioning vent grille with the optimized structure proposed in the application may also have the following additional technical features:
[0011] Specifically, the front end face of the fixed block is provided with a sliding groove, a connecting block is slidably installed in the sliding groove, the rear end of the connecting block is fixedly connected to the slider, and a pusher is fixed at the front end of the connecting block.
[0012] Specifically, a sloping surface is provided above the front end face of the lever, and multiple anti-slip grooves are provided on the sloping surface.
[0013] Specifically, the grid frame consists of multiple horizontally arranged horizontal plates and multiple vertically arranged vertical plates, with the horizontal and vertical plates being staggered and integrally formed.
[0014] Specifically, the outer frame has two positioning slots on both the upper and lower walls, and the inner frame has positioning blocks fixed on both the upper and lower walls, with the positioning blocks engaging with the corresponding positioning slots.
[0015] Specifically, the outer wall of the outer frame is fixed with a mounting protrusion at the front edge, and mounting holes are provided at the four corners of the mounting protrusion.
[0016] Specifically, a limiting edge is fixed inside the opening of the outer frame at the rear edge, and the rear end of the inner frame abuts against the front end of the limiting edge.
[0017] Specifically, both the outer frame and the inner frame have a U-shaped cross-section, and the dimensions of the inner frame are adapted to the opening dimensions of the outer frame.
[0018] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0019] The design incorporates a fixed block, spring, and locking mechanism. Under the elastic force applied by the spring to the slider, the slider drives the locking block to stably engage with the slot, ensuring the installation stability between the inner and outer frames. Furthermore, by moving the slider downwards with a lever, the locking block disengages from the slot, releasing the restriction between the inner and outer frames and allowing for quick assembly and disassembly of the inner frame. This design not only facilitates the rapid assembly and disassembly of the inner frame and grille frame but also ensures convenient and safe operation while maintaining unobstructed airflow.

[0028] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0029] This embodiment provides a technical solution:
[0030] Please see Figures 1-5 As shown, an optimized air conditioning vent grille includes an outer frame 1, which is open-ended. Fixing grooves 12 are provided on both the left and right side walls of the opening. Each fixing groove 12 has a slot 120 at its top. An inner frame 2 is also installed within the opening of the outer frame 1. The inner frame 2 is open-ended, and a perforated grille frame 20 is fixed within its opening. Fixing blocks 22 are fixed to the outer walls of both the left and right sides of the inner frame 2. The fixing blocks 22 are bolted to the inner frame 2 and inserted into the fixing grooves 12. The fixing blocks 22 are close to the inner frame 2. Each side wall of the slide is provided with a sliding cavity 220. Two guide rods 23 are fixed to the bottom of the inner side of the sliding cavity 220. The guide rods 23 are fixedly connected to the fixing block 22 by bolts. Springs 24 are sleeved on the outside of the guide rods 23. A slider 25 is also slidably installed on the top of the inner side of the sliding cavity 220. The bottom of the slider 25 is provided with a sliding hole 250 that is slidably connected to the guide rods 23. A locking block 26 is fixed at the center of the top of the slider 25. The locking block 26 is fixedly connected to the slider 25 by bolts. After the locking block 26 passes through the top of the fixing block 22, it engages with the locking groove 120 to restrict the fixing block 22 within the fixing groove 12.
[0031] Specifically, the front end face of the fixing block 22 has a groove 221, and a connecting block 27 is slidably installed in the groove 221. The rear end of the connecting block 27 is fixedly connected to the slider 25, and a lever 28 is fixed to the front end of the connecting block 27. The position of the slider 25 can be easily controlled by the lever 28, and the slider 25 drives the locking block 26 to move. This design enables quick assembly and disassembly of the inner frame 2 and the outer frame 1, improving maintenance convenience.
[0032] In this embodiment, a slope is formed above the front end face of the lever 28, and multiple anti-slip grooves are formed on the slope. This design increases the friction between the finger and the lever 28, making the operation of the lever 28 more stable, effectively preventing slippage, and improving the user experience.
[0033] In this embodiment, the grille frame 20 consists of multiple horizontally arranged horizontal plates and multiple vertically arranged vertical plates, which are staggered and integrally formed. This structure not only enhances the overall strength of the grille frame 20 and reduces the risk of component damage, but also ensures the uniformity of airflow.
[0034] In this embodiment, two positioning slots 13 are provided in the opening of the outer frame 1 at both the upper and lower walls, and positioning blocks 21 are fixed to both the upper and lower walls of the inner frame 2. The positioning blocks 21 are inserted into the corresponding positioning slots 13. The arrangement of positioning blocks 21 and positioning slots 13 increases the speed and stability of installation between the inner frame 2 and the outer frame 1.
[0035] In this embodiment, a mounting protrusion 10 is fixed to the outer wall of the outer frame 1 at the front edge, and mounting holes 100 are provided at the four corners of the mounting protrusion 10. This design facilitates the installation of the air outlet grille to a designated position, improves installation convenience, and is suitable for various installation scenarios.
[0036] In this embodiment, a limiting edge 11 is fixed inside the opening of the outer frame 1 at the rear end edge, and the rear end of the inner frame 2 abuts against the front end of the limiting edge 11. This limiting structure restricts the installation position of the inner frame 2, preventing it from being excessively inserted into the opening of the outer frame 1, and ensuring the stability of the installation.
[0037] In this embodiment, both the outer frame 1 and the inner frame 2 have a U-shaped cross-section, and the dimensions of the inner frame 2 are adapted to the opening dimensions of the outer frame 1. This design ensures a tight connection between the outer frame 1 and the inner frame 2, effectively preventing air leakage and improving airflow efficiency and overall aesthetics.
[0038] It should be added that the rear end face of the locking block 26 is set as an inclined structure. This inclined design has the following advantages in actual use: when the fixing block 22 is inserted into the fixing slot 12, the locking block 26 can smoothly and efficiently lock into the slot 120 due to the inclined angle of its rear end face, effectively improving the convenience and smoothness of installation.
[0039] When disassembling the inner frame 2, the user first pushes the lever 28 downwards. The lever 28 causes the connecting block 27 to move downwards along the slide groove 221. The connecting block 27 then causes the slider 25 to move downwards. The sliding hole 250 slides along the guide rod 23, and the spring 24 is compressed by the slider 25. At the same time, the slider 25 causes the locking block 26 to disengage from the slot 120. As the locking block 26 disengages from the slot 120, the restriction between the inner frame 2 and the outer frame 1 is released. Finally, the user pulls the inner frame 2 forward, and the inner frame 2 disengages from the outer frame 1, thus completing the disassembly.
[0040] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely preferred examples and are not intended to limit the utility model.
