Detailed Implementation

[0029] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be arbitrarily combined with each other.

[0030] The air outlet component provided in the embodiments of this application, such as Figures 1 to 8As shown, it includes: an air outlet frame 100, the air outlet frame 100 having an air outlet 110; and a reinforcing member, the reinforcing member and the air outlet frame 100 being separate structures, the reinforcing member being located outside the air outlet 110 and disposed on the long side wall of the air outlet 110, and the reinforcing member being configured to prevent the long side wall from bending and deforming.

[0031] The reinforcing member is used to prevent the long side wall from bending and deforming, making it less prone to bending and deformation when heated. Therefore, the air outlet frame 100 has better resistance to deformation. Furthermore, the reinforcing member and the air outlet frame 100 are separate structures, and the reinforcing member is located outside the air outlet 110 and on the long side wall of the air outlet 110. When hot air is emitted from the air outlet 110, the long side wall separates the hot air from the reinforcing member. Compared with the technical solution where the reinforcing member is located inside the air outlet 110, the temperature of the reinforcing member is lower and the amount of deformation is smaller in this solution. Therefore, the reinforcing member is more effective in preventing the long side wall from bending and deforming in this solution.

[0032] In some embodiments, the reinforcing member is a metal part and the air outlet frame 100 is an injection molded part. The deformation resistance of the metal part is much greater than that of the injection molded part. Therefore, when hot air is emitted from the air outlet 110, the metal part can better prevent the long side wall from bending and deforming, thus further improving the deformation resistance of the air outlet frame 100.

[0033] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figures 6 to 8 As shown, the long side opening wall is provided with a positioning part 113 and a connecting part 114, and the reinforcing member is provided with a positioning mating part 230 and a connecting mating part 240. The positioning part 113 and the positioning mating part 230 cooperate to perform pre-positioning, so that the connecting part 114 and the connecting mating part 240 are aligned. Then the connecting part 114 and the connecting mating part 240 are fixedly connected, which can effectively improve the assembly speed of the air outlet frame 100 and the reinforcing member.

[0034] It can be, such as Figure 8 As shown, one of the positioning part 113 and the positioning mating part 230 is a rib and the other is a slot, with the rib and slot engaging; or it can be, as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, one of the positioning part 113 and the positioning mating part 230 is a positioning post and the other is a positioning hole, and the positioning post and the positioning hole are connected by insertion and mating, etc.; all of the above can achieve the purpose of this application, and their purpose has not departed from the design concept of this utility model, so they will not be described in detail here, and all should fall within the protection scope of this application.

[0035] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, the connecting part 114 is a stud, and the connecting mating part 240 is a through hole. The stud and the through hole are fixed together by a threaded connector. This solution has a simple structure and is easy to implement.

[0036] In some embodiments, such as Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the air outlet 110 is rectangular in shape. The long side of the outlet wall includes a first long side outlet wall 111 (lower outlet wall) and a second long side outlet wall 112 (upper outlet wall). The reinforcing members include a first reinforcing member 210 (lower reinforcing member) and a second reinforcing member 220 (upper reinforcing member). The first reinforcing member 210 is disposed on the first long side outlet wall 111, and the second reinforcing member 220 is disposed on the second long side outlet wall 112, ensuring that the first long side outlet wall 111 and the second long side outlet wall 112 are less prone to bending deformation.

[0037] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, a reinforcing groove 115 is provided on the side of the first long side opening wall 111 facing away from the second long side opening wall 112 (that is, a reinforcing groove 115 is provided on the lower side of the first long side opening wall 111, and the opening of the reinforcing groove 115 faces downward). The reinforcing groove 115 extends along the length direction (i.e., the left-right direction) of the air outlet 110. The first reinforcing member 210 is a first sheet metal strip extending along the length direction of the air outlet 110, and the first sheet metal strip is located in the reinforcing groove 115.

[0038] Among them, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a positioning post and a stud are protruding inside the reinforcing groove 115. The first sheet metal strip is provided with a positioning hole and a through hole. The positioning post is inserted into the positioning hole, so that the first sheet metal strip is pre-positioned in the reinforcing groove 115. At this time, the screw hole and the through hole of the stud are aligned. Then, the threaded section of the threaded connector passes through the through hole and is screwed into the screw hole of the stud, thereby fixing the first sheet metal strip in the reinforcing groove 115. This solution has a simple structure.

[0039] In some embodiments, such as Figures 6 to 8 As shown, the second reinforcing member 220 is a second sheet metal strip extending along the length direction of the air outlet 110. The second sheet metal strip and the second long side wall 112 together form a wiring channel 221. The air outlet frame 100 also has two motor mounting areas 120. In the length direction of the air outlet 110, the air outlet 110 is located between the two motor mounting areas 120. The air outlet assembly also includes a guide plate and two sets of drive motors. The guide plate is located inside the air outlet 110. The two sets of drive motors are correspondingly located in the two motor mounting areas 120 and are both connected to the guide plate. The two sets of drive motors are configured to synchronously drive the guide plate to swing. The connecting wire of the drive motor in the left motor mounting area 120 extends through the wiring channel 221 to the right motor mounting area 120 and merges with the connecting wire of the drive motor in the right motor mounting area 120. Then, it extends from the right motor mounting area 120 to the rear side of the air outlet frame 100.

[0040] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the length of the first sheet metal strip is approximately the same as the length of the first long side opening 111, and the length of the second sheet metal strip is approximately the same as the length of the second long side opening 112.

[0041] It can be that there is one air guide plate, then there are two drive motors; or it can be that there are two air guide plates arranged one above the other, then there are four drive motors, etc.; all of the above can achieve the purpose of this application, and their purpose has not deviated from the design concept of this utility model, so they will not be elaborated here, and all should fall within the protection scope of this application.

[0042] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 , Figures 6 to 8 As shown, the cross-section of the second sheet metal strip is a bent structure. The upper surface of the second long side opening wall 112 is provided with a mating rib 116, which is arranged in the left-right direction. A stud is provided on the upper surface of the second long side opening wall 112 in the area behind the mating rib 116. The second sheet metal strip is provided with a through hole. The second sheet metal strip covers the mating rib 116 and the stud. The front end of the second sheet metal strip and the area on the upper surface of the second long side opening wall 112 in front of the mating rib 116 are connected by a rib and a slot to pre-position the strip, so that the through hole and the screw hole of the stud are aligned. Then, the threaded section of the threaded connector passes through the through hole and is screwed into the screw hole of the stud, thereby fixing the second sheet metal strip to the second long side opening wall 112. This solution has a simple structure.

[0043] In some embodiments, such as Figure 6 As shown, along the length of the air outlet 110, the end of the second sheet metal strip is provided with a folded edge that bends outward toward the wiring channel 221, so that there are no sharp edges on the left and right ends of the second sheet metal strip, and the connection wire of the drive motor will not be cut.

[0044] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the upper surface of the second long side opening wall 112 and the lower surface of the first long side opening wall 111 are both provided with reinforcing ribs. The reinforcing ribs can further improve the deformation resistance of the second long side opening wall 112 and the first long side opening wall 111, so that the air outlet frame has better deformation resistance and is less prone to bending deformation.

[0045] The air handling equipment (not shown in the figure) provided in this application includes the air outlet component described in any of the above embodiments.

[0046] This air handling equipment possesses all the advantages of the air outlet assembly provided in any of the above embodiments, which will not be elaborated further here.

[0047] In some embodiments, the air handling unit includes a ducted air conditioner; of course, the air handling unit may also include an outdoor air conditioning unit.

[0048] In summary, the technical solution provided in this application uses a reinforcing member to prevent the long side opening wall from bending and deforming. This makes the long side opening wall less prone to bending and deforming when heated, thus improving the deformation resistance of the air outlet frame. Furthermore, the reinforcing member and the air outlet frame are separate structures, with the reinforcing member located outside the air outlet and on the long side opening wall of the air outlet. When hot air is emitted from the air outlet, the long side opening wall separates the hot air from the reinforcing member. Compared to the technical solution where the reinforcing member is located inside the air outlet, this solution results in a lower temperature and less deformation of the reinforcing member, thus improving the effectiveness of the reinforcing member in preventing the long side opening wall from bending and deforming.
