Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of air conditioning technology, and in particular to an air outlet panel and an indoor air conditioning unit. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, air conditioner indoor units typically have an air outlet grille, usually located on the front or bottom of the indoor unit, to blow treated air into the room, thereby protecting internal components and promoting air circulation.

[0003] In existing technologies, strip-shaped air vents and 3D air vents are often used at the air outlet. In order to adapt to the decoration style, false air vents are installed on both sides of the air outlet, which makes the decoration style more grand and the overall aesthetics more beautiful.

[0004] Due to the high cost of 3D air vents and the difficulties in installation and maintenance, strip-shaped air vents are generally used at present. In order to reduce costs, ordinary strip-shaped air vents use fixed strip-shaped air guide plates. The tilt angle of the air guide plate is fixed, which makes the air outlet angle fixed, resulting in poor air guiding effect. The air supply direction cannot be adjusted according to the user's needs, resulting in a poor user experience. Utility Model Content

[0005] This application addresses, to at least some extent, one of the technical problems in the related art.

[0006] Therefore, this application aims to provide an air outlet panel and an indoor air conditioning unit. By setting a drive component between the air guide plate and the housing, when the user needs to adjust the rotation angle of the air guide plate, the rotating wheel is rotated, and the rotating wheel drives the air guide plate connected to it to rotate. Under the action of the linkage, the other air guide plates rotate synchronously to change the air supply direction. At the same time, the limiting part positions the air guide plate after rotation, thereby preventing the air guide plate from moving under its own gravity after rotating a certain angle, thus improving the user experience.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides an air outlet panel, comprising:

[0008] Border, the border;

[0009] Multiple air guide plates are spaced apart and are rotatably connected to the frame.

[0010] The driver component includes:

[0011] A rotating wheel is rotatably connected to the housing, and the rotating wheel is fixedly connected to one end of any one of the air guide plates;

[0012] A limiting part, the limiting part being used to maintain the rotation angle of the rotating wheel;

[0013] The linkage unit is used to drive all the air guide plates to move synchronously;

[0014] Rotating the wheel causes the corresponding air guide plate to rotate, and the linkage unit causes the other air guide plates to rotate synchronously.

[0015] In the technical solution, by setting up a drive component, when the user needs to adjust the tilt angle of the air guide plate, the rotating wheel is rotated, causing the air guide plate fixedly connected to the rotating wheel to rotate. Under the action of the linkage, the other air guide plates rotate synchronously. Under the action of the limiting part, the position of the rotating wheel after rotation is relatively fixed, so that the tilt angle of the air guide plate connected to the rotating wheel is fixed. The relative position of the air guide plate and the linkage is fixed. Under the action of the linkage, the tilt angle of all air guide plates is fixed, thereby realizing the change of the air direction delivered by the air guide plate.

[0016] In some embodiments of this application, a fixing shell is provided inside the housing, and an installation cavity is provided inside the fixing shell, with the rotating wheel embedded in the installation cavity.

[0017] In the technical solution, a fixed shell is set up to protect the rotor, reducing the risk of the rotor detaching from the shell due to excessive external force, and also reducing the impact of dust on the rotor's rotational flexibility.

[0018] In some embodiments of this application, the limiting portion includes:

[0019] The slot is formed on the peripheral wall of the rotating wheel, and multiple slots are provided along the circumference of the rotating wheel;

[0020] A positioning piece is disposed on the fixed shell and is used to insert into the corresponding slot to limit the rotation of the wheel.

[0021] In the technical solution, the user rotates the wheel during use, changing the position of the slot that engages with the positioning piece. When the user stops rotating, the positioning piece engages with the corresponding slot at its end, thus positioning the wheel and fixing the tilt angle of the air guide plate after rotation. This prevents the air guide plate from shifting due to its own weight or the influence of the air conditioner's airflow after the wheel has rotated a certain angle, while also improving the user's feel during the rotation process.

[0022] In some embodiments of this application, an operating hole is provided on the side wall of the rotating wheel; a lever is provided on the rotating wheel, one end of the lever is inserted into the operating hole, and the other end extends to the outside of the housing.

[0023] In the technical solution, by setting an operating hole, when using the device, the user can use a small-diameter tool, such as a screwdriver or pencil, to insert into the operating hole. The rotating wheel can be rotated by turning the tool inserted into the operating hole, or the rotating wheel can be rotated by turning the lever.

[0024] In some embodiments of this application, the linkage includes:

[0025] Connecting rod;

[0026] The connecting rod is hinged to the air guide plate;

[0027] The hinge axis of the connecting rod and the air guide plate is spaced apart from the hinge axis of the air guide plate and the housing.

[0028] In the technical solution, a connecting rod is set to be hinged to the air guide plate. When the user rotates the wheel, the air guide plate connected to the wheel rotates, the connecting rod hinged to the air guide plate moves, and the remaining air guide plates hinged to the connecting rod rotate accordingly, so as to achieve synchronous rotation of all air guide plates.

[0029] In some embodiments of this application, a reinforcing plate is provided on the connecting rod, and the reinforcing plate is located on the side of the connecting rod away from the air guide plate.

[0030] In the technical solution, a reinforcing plate is installed to increase the structural strength of the connecting rod and prevent the connecting rod from deforming as the service life increases.

[0031] In some embodiments of this application, a reinforcing member is provided along the length direction of the air guide plate, the reinforcing member comprising:

[0032] A reinforcing plate is fixedly connected to the housing.

[0033] A first connecting plate is provided along the length of the reinforcing plate, and the first connecting plate corresponds one-to-one with the air guide plate.

[0034] The air guide plate is provided with a first connecting arm, which is hinged to the first connecting plate.

[0035] In the technical solution, by setting reinforcement components, when the user rotates the wheel, the air guide plate rotates around the hinge axis between the first connecting arm and the first connecting plate at the same time as the two ends of the air guide plate rotate, so as to enhance the structural stability of the air guide plate during the rotation process.

[0036] In some embodiments of this application, the housing is provided with a plurality of first ribs, the first ribs being located between adjacent air guide plates, and the air guide plates forming a closed plane with the first ribs in the closed state to close the opening of the frame.

[0037] In the technical solution, multiple first ribs are set to enhance the overall structural stability of the shell and prevent interference between the various air guide plates when they rotate.

[0038] In some embodiments of this application, the side of the frame is provided with a grille assembly for aesthetic purposes, which includes:

[0039] Outer frame;

[0040] Multiple second ribs, each corresponding to a first rib, with each second rib and its corresponding first rib located on the same straight line;

[0041] Multiple grid plates are disposed between two adjacent second ribs, and the grid plates and the second ribs form a closed plane.

[0042] In the technical solution, by setting up grille components, the aesthetics and harmony of the frame are enhanced, making it more compatible with the user's interior decoration style.

[0043] In addition, this application also provides an indoor air conditioning unit, including a housing, on which an air outlet is provided;

[0044] An air outlet panel as described above is installed at the air outlet.

[0045] The frame is detachably connected to the air outlet.

[0046] Additional aspects and advantages of this application will be set forth in part in the description which follows, and in part will be obvious from the description, or may be learned by practice of this application. Attached Figure Description

[0062] The present application will now be described in detail through exemplary embodiments. However, it should be understood that, without further description, elements, structures, and features in one embodiment may be advantageously incorporated into other embodiments.

[0063] In this application, the air outlet panel is usually set at the air outlet of the central air conditioner casing. For aesthetic reasons and to match the user's decoration style, the central air conditioner is usually installed after the water and electricity renovation is completed in the early stage of decoration and before the ceiling project. This allows the indoor unit of the central air conditioner to be hidden in the ceiling, making the overall decoration style simple and elegant. The air outlet panel has multiple air guide plates set at the frame and a drive component to adjust the tilt angle of the air guide plates. This allows the air guide plates to be changed according to the user's needs, thereby adjusting the air supply direction and improving the user experience.

[0064] In the following, embodiments of this application will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0065] As attached Figures 1 to 3 As shown in an illustrative embodiment of the air outlet panel and the indoor unit of the air conditioner in this application, the air outlet panel is disposed on the air conditioner, the air conditioner includes a housing 100, an air outlet 300 is provided on the housing 100, and the air outlet panel is disposed at the air outlet 300.

[0066] In some embodiments, the housing 100 includes a frame 110, which is disposed at the air outlet 300 and abuts against the outer wall of the wall.

[0067] In some embodiments, the housing 100 includes a mounting bracket 120, which is connected to the side of the frame 110 away from the outer wall of the wall. The mounting bracket 120 includes a first fixing plate 121. Two first fixing plates 121 are arranged opposite each other, and both first fixing plates 121 are fixedly connected to the inner sidewall of the frame 110.

[0068] In some embodiments, the mounting bracket 120 includes a second fixing plate 122. Two second fixing plates 122 are arranged opposite each other. The second fixing plate 122 and the first fixing plate 121 are located on two different planes, and both second fixing plates 122 are fixedly connected to the inner sidewall of the frame 110. The ends of the second fixing plates 122 and the first fixing plate 121 are connected sequentially to enclose and form an installation space.

[0069] In some embodiments, the air outlet panel includes a plurality of air guide plates 200, which are arranged in parallel and spaced apart in the installation space. The air guide plates 200 are used to control the direction of the air supply.

[0070] In existing technology, the air guide plate 200 is typically fixedly connected to the frame 110 for ease of installation, maintenance, and improved airflow. Because the tilt angle of the air guide plate 200 is fixed, the airflow direction is fixed during air conditioner operation. This prevents users from changing the airflow direction according to their needs. In heating mode, because hot air density is less than indoor cold air density, the weight of the hot air blowing out of the opening in the frame 10 is less than the weight of the cold air it displaces. Therefore, buoyancy exceeds gravity, causing the hot air to rise. With a fixed airflow direction, the user's perceived temperature rises slowly. In cooling mode, the fixed airflow direction may cause cold air to blow directly on the user, resulting in excessively low perceived temperature and potential health risks, leading to a poor user experience.

[0071] Based on this, this application provides a drive component that can adjust the tilt angle of the air guide plate 200, so that the tilt angle of the air guide plate 200 can be adjusted at any time according to user needs, so as to meet user requirements.

[0072] In some embodiments, the two ends of the air guide plate 200 are rotatably connected to two second fixed plates 122 respectively, so as to adjust the air guide plate 200 to change the air supply direction.

[0073] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the air outlet panel includes a drive assembly, which includes a rotating wheel 400. The rotating wheel 400 is rotatably connected to the second fixed plate 122, and the rotating wheel 400 is fixedly connected to one end of any one of the air guide plates 200. The frame 110 has an operation port for the side wall of the rotating wheel 400 to pass through. After the rotating wheel 400 is installed, the side wall of the rotating wheel 400 is exposed on the outside of the frame 110 through the operation port. The user rotates the rotating wheel 400 through the operation port to make the air guide plate 200 rotate, thereby changing the tilt angle of the air guide plate 200.

[0074] In some embodiments, the drive assembly includes a limiting part 500, which is used to maintain the rotation angle of the rotating wheel 400. When the user rotates the rotating wheel 400, the limiting part 500 can fix the position of the rotating wheel 400 after rotation, thereby fixing the rotation angle of the air guide plate 200 so as to keep the tilt angle of the air guide plate 200 unchanged and maintain the stability of the air delivery direction.

[0075] In some embodiments, the drive component includes a linkage 600, which drives all the air guide vanes 200 to move synchronously; when the user rotates the wheel 400, all the air guide vanes 200 rotate synchronously under the action of the linkage 600 to change the overall airflow direction.

[0076] Through the above technical solution, by setting the drive component, when the user needs to adjust the tilt angle of the air guide plate 200, the rotating wheel 400 is rotated, causing the air guide plate 200 fixedly connected to the rotating wheel 400 to rotate. Under the action of the linkage part 600, the other air guide plates 200 rotate synchronously, thereby realizing the change of the tilt angle of all air guide plates 200. Under the action of the limiting part 500, the position of the rotating wheel 400 after rotation is relatively fixed, so that the tilt angle of the air guide plate 200 connected to the rotating wheel 400 is fixed. The relative position of the air guide plate 200 and the linkage part 600 is fixed. Under the action of the linkage part 600, the tilt angle of all air guide plates 200 is fixed accordingly, thereby changing the air delivery direction of the air guide plate 200 in the vertical direction.

[0077] In another embodiment, the two ends of the air guide plate 200 are rotatably connected to two first fixed plates 121, and the rotating wheel 400 is rotatably connected to the first fixed plates 121. The rotating wheel 400 is fixedly connected to one end of any one of the air guide plates 200. When the user rotates, the air guide plate 200 connected to the rotating wheel 400 rotates, causing the rotation angle of the air guide plate 200 in the horizontal direction to change. Under the action of the linkage part 600, all the air guide plates 200 rotate synchronously. The limiting part 500 fixes the rotated air guide plate 200, thereby realizing the adjustment of the left and right air outlet direction of the air outlet panel.

[0078] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a fixing shell 700 is provided inside the housing 100, and a mounting cavity for the rotating wheel 400 to be embedded in the fixing shell 700. The rotating wheel 400 is rotatably connected to the fixing shell 700. The fixing shell 700 protects the rotating wheel 400. When the user rotates the rotating wheel 400 and applies excessive force perpendicular to the rotating shaft, the rotating shaft may detach from the connection, causing the rotating wheel 400 to fall into the housing 100, making it difficult for the user to install and maintain the rotating wheel 400. At the same time, the fixing shell 700 also prevents dust from accumulating inside the housing 100 due to prolonged use of the air conditioner, which could negatively affect the rotational flexibility of the rotating wheel 400.

[0079] In some embodiments, such as Figures 3-6 As shown, the fixed shell 700 includes a first protective plate 701. One side wall of the first protective plate 701 abuts against the side of the frame 110 away from the outside. Both the first protective plate 701 and the second fixed plate 122 are provided with rotating holes for the shaft of the rotating wheel 400 to pass through. The rotating wheel 400 is rotatably connected between the first protective plate 701 and the second fixed plate 122.

[0080] In some embodiments, the fixed shell 700 includes a second protective plate 702, which is disposed around the peripheral wall of the first protective plate 701 on the side away from the frame 110. That is, the cross section of the second protective plate 702 on the plane perpendicular to the inner wall of the shell 100 is U-shaped, and the two end walls of the second protective plate 702 on the side near the frame 110 abut against the frame 110.

[0081] In some embodiments, the fixed housing 700 includes mounting plates 703. Two mounting plates 703 are arranged opposite each other. The two mounting plates 703 are located on opposite outer side walls of the second protective plate 702 and are fixedly connected to the second protective plate 702. Both mounting plates 703 are provided with screw holes. The housing 100 is provided with screw holes of the same type at corresponding positions. During installation, the operator inserts the two ends of the rotating shaft of the rotating wheel 400 into the two rotating holes, and then installs the screws matching the screw hole type into the screw holes, thereby completing the installation and fixing of the fixed housing 700 and the frame 110. At this time, the rotating wheel 400 is located in the mounting cavity and the two ends of the rotating wheel 400 are rotatably connected to the fixed housing 700 and the mounting bracket 120 respectively.

[0082] In some embodiments, in order to increase the flexibility of the rotation of the wheel 400, a bushing 704 is provided at the connection between the wheel 400 and the rotating hole. The bushing 704 reduces the frictional resistance experienced by the wheel 400 during rotation, making it easier and more convenient for the user to rotate the wheel 400.

[0083] In some embodiments, the first protective plate 701, the second protective plate 702, and the mounting plate 703 are integrally formed to reduce production costs.

[0084] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the limiting part 500 includes a slot 501, which is formed on the peripheral wall of the rotating wheel 400. Multiple slots 501 are provided along the axial direction of the rotating wheel 400. The length direction of the slot 501 is consistent with the direction of the axis of the rotating wheel 400. The slot 501 is located in the mounting cavity.

[0085] In some embodiments, the limiting part 500 includes a positioning piece 502, which is disposed on the side of the second protective plate 702 facing the slot 501. The positioning piece 502 is used to insert into the corresponding slot 501 to limit the position of the rotating wheel 400 after rotation. In use, the user rotates the rotating wheel 400, at which time the position of the slot 501 that engages with the positioning piece 502 changes. When the user stops rotating, the positioning piece 502 engages with the slot 501 corresponding to its end at this time, thereby positioning the rotating wheel 400 and fixing the tilt angle of the air guide plate 200 after rotation. This prevents the position of the air guide plate 200 from changing due to its own weight or the influence of the airflow direction after the rotating wheel 400 has rotated a certain angle, and also improves the user's rotation feel during the rotation of the rotating wheel 400.

[0086] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, a lever 401 is provided on the rotary wheel 400, and the lever 401 extends to the outside of the frame 110 through the operation port. In use, the user rotates the lever 401, causing the rotary wheel 400 to rotate, thereby changing the tilt angle of the air guide plate 200.

[0087] In some embodiments, to maintain visual consistency, the rotating wheel 400 has a smaller structure. Therefore, the volume of the rotating wheel 400 located outside the frame 110 is small, which may cause inconvenience for users. To facilitate user operation, an operation hole 402 is provided on the side wall of the rotating wheel 400. The operation hole 402 and the slot 501 are located on both sides of the rotating wheel 400. That is, the operation hole 402 is located outside the housing 100 through the operation opening. When in use, the user can use a small-diameter tool, such as a screwdriver or pencil, to insert into the operation hole 402. By rotating the tool inserted into the operation hole 402, the rotating wheel 400 can be easily rotated using the lever principle. After the user has finished operating, the user can pull the tool out of the operation hole 402, thereby maintaining the visual consistency of the housing 100, the air guide plate 200, and the rotating wheel 400, and improving the overall aesthetics of the user's decorated space.

[0088] In some embodiments, the operating hole 402 may be a circular hole, a square hole, or other polygonal holes.

[0089] In some embodiments, such as Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the linkage 600 includes a connecting rod 601, the length direction of which is the same as the distribution direction of the multiple air guide plates 200; the connecting rod 601 is hinged to each air guide plate 200, and the hinge axis of the connecting rod 601 and the air guide plate 200 is spaced apart from the hinge axis of the air guide plate 200 and the second fixed plate 122. When the user rotates the rotating wheel 400, the air guide plate 200 connected to the rotating wheel 400 rotates, the connecting rod 601 hinged to the air guide plate 200 moves, and the remaining air guide plates 200 hinged to the connecting rod 601 rotate accordingly to achieve synchronous rotation of all air guide plates 200.

[0090] In some embodiments, to increase the structural stability of the connecting rod 601, a plurality of reinforcing plates 602 are provided at intervals along the length of the connecting rod 601, and the reinforcing plates 602 are located on the side of the connecting rod 601 away from the air guide plate 200.

[0091] In some embodiments, to increase the stability of the air guide plate 200 during rotation, a reinforcement member 800 is provided along the length direction of the air guide plate 200. The reinforcement member 800 includes a reinforcement plate 801. The length direction of the reinforcement plate 801 is the same as the distribution direction of the plurality of air guide plates 200. The two ends of the reinforcement plate 801 are respectively fixedly connected to two first fixing plates 121.

[0092] In some embodiments, the reinforcement member 800 includes a first connecting plate 802. Multiple first connecting plates 802 are provided along the length direction of the reinforcement plate 801. The first connecting plates 802 correspond one-to-one with the air guide plates 200 to achieve reinforcement connection of each air guide plate 200.

[0093] In some embodiments, the air guide plate 200 is provided with a first connecting arm 803, which is hinged to the first connecting plate 802. In use, when the user rotates the rotating wheel 400, the air guide plate 200 rotates at both ends and rotates around the hinge axis between the first connecting arm 803 and the first connecting plate 802, thereby enhancing the structural stability of the air guide plate 200 during rotation.

[0094] In another embodiment, the length direction of the reinforcing plate 801 is perpendicular to the length direction of the air guide plate 200, and both ends of the reinforcing plate 801 are fixedly connected to the first fixing plate 121 respectively. That is, at this time, both ends of the air guide plate 200 are rotatably connected to the first fixing plate 121 to realize the adjustment of the left and right air outlet direction of the air outlet panel.

[0095] In some embodiments, such as Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the number of reinforcing members 800 is set according to the length of the air guide plate 200. In this application, the number of reinforcing members 800 is set to two as an example. The two reinforcing members 800 are respectively located between the linkage part 600 and the second fixed plate 122. The number of first connecting arms 803 is set to two accordingly. That is, when the rotating wheel 400 changes the tilt angle of the air guide plate 200, the air guide plate 200 rotates around its hinge axis with the reinforcing member 800 and the linkage part 600 to enhance the structural stability of the air guide plate 200 during the rotation process and reduce the possibility of deformation of the air guide plate 200 under its own weight due to the small support force in the middle position of the air guide plate 200 caused by the length of the air guide plate 200.

[0096] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, in order to enhance the overall structural stability of the frame 110, a plurality of first ribs 130 are provided on the frame 110. The first ribs 130 are fixedly connected between the opposite side walls of the frame 110. The first ribs 130 are located between two adjacent air guide plates 200.
