Furthermore, some aspects of this utility model can be used alone or in any suitable combination with other aspects disclosed in this utility model.

[0015] Example 1 like Figure 1-6 As shown, this is the first embodiment of the present invention, which provides an air outlet structure for a concealed ceiling-mounted heat pipe air conditioner, including... The outer frame assembly 100 includes an outer frame 110, a limiting groove 120 formed on both sides of the inner cavity of the outer frame 110, a positioning plate 140 slidably connected to the inner cavity of the limiting groove 120, and a screw 130 movably connected to one side of the outer frame 110 via a bearing and threadedly connected to the positioning plate 140. The inner frame assembly 200 includes an inner frame 210, positioning grooves 220 formed on both sides of the inner frame 210, a flow guide assembly 230 disposed at the lower end of the inner cavity of the inner frame 210, a first magnet 240 fixedly connected to the upper end of the inner cavity of the inner frame 210, a filter screen 250 disposed at the upper end of the inner cavity of the inner frame 210, and a second magnet 260 fixedly connected to the bottom of the filter screen 250 and magnetically connected to the first magnet 240.

[0016] like Figure 1-6As shown, the outer frame 110 provides space for the placement of the inner frame 210. The outer frame 110 is connected to the ceiling for a concealed design. Airflow enters the inner cavities of the outer frame 110 and the inner frame 210. The filter 250, using a HEPA filter, filters PM2.5 and other particulate matter. The airflow guide component 230 adjusts the air outlet angle to achieve uniform airflow diffusion and reduce discomfort from direct airflow. The screw 130 drives the positioning plate 140 out of the positioning slot 220, releasing the connection between the two and allowing the inner frame component 200 to be moved out without damaging the ceiling, facilitating cleaning of the airflow guide component 230. Furthermore, the magnetic connection between the first magnet 240 and the second magnet 260 allows for quick and easy manual removal and installation of the filter 250, greatly improving ease of installation and removal.

[0017] Example 2 Reference Figure 2 and 3 This is the second embodiment of the present invention, which is based on the previous embodiment.

[0018] In this embodiment, the flow guiding assembly 230 includes a blade 231, a connecting frame 232 fixedly connected to the top of the blade 231, and an electric push rod 233 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the inner frame 210 and whose output end is connected to the connecting frame 232.

[0019] Both ends of the blade 231 are movably connected to the inner wall of the inner frame 210 via bearings, and the bottom of the second magnet 260 is in contact with the top of the first magnet 240.

[0020] like Figure 2 and 3 As shown, in the airflow guide assembly 230, both ends of the blade 231 are movably connected to the inner wall of the inner frame 210 via bearings. This design allows the blade 231 to rotate flexibly. Through the extension and retraction of the electric push rod 233, the connecting frame 232 can be precisely moved, thereby precisely adjusting the angle of the blade 231 through the connecting frame 232, improving the comfort and effect of air delivery, and reducing the discomfort of direct airflow. The bottom of the second magnet 260 contacts the top of the first magnet 240. This magnetic connection method is used to fix the filter screen 250 and support the filter screen 250.

[0021] Example 3 Reference Figure 1-6 This is the third embodiment of the present invention, which is based on the first two embodiments.

[0022] In this embodiment, the inner frame 210 is fixedly connected to the front and back of the inner frame 210, and the outer frame 110 is provided with slots 111 on the front and back of the inner cavity. The slots 211 extend into the inner cavity of the slots 111 and are movably connected to the inner cavity of the slots 111.

[0023] A knob is fixedly connected to one end of the screw 130, and one end of the positioning plate 140 extends into the inner cavity of the positioning groove 220 and is movably connected to the inner cavity of the positioning groove 220.

[0024] Mounting holes 112 are provided around the bottom of the outer frame 110, and a connecting pipe 113 is connected to the top of the outer frame 110, and the connecting pipe 113 is connected to the air duct.

[0025] like Figure 1-6 As shown, the locking plate 211, which is fixedly connected to the front and back of the inner frame 210, is movably connected to the locking slots 111 opened on the front and back of the inner cavity of the outer frame 110. When it is necessary to install the inner frame 210 into the outer frame 110, the locking plate 211 on the inner frame 210 is aligned with the locking slots 111 in the inner cavity of the outer frame 110, and then a certain pushing force is applied to extend the locking plate 211 into the inner cavity of the locking slots 111. This locking method enables the inner frame 210 and the outer frame 110 to achieve initial connection and limitation. One end of the screw 130 The fixed-connection knob facilitates user operation. By rotating the knob, the screw 130 can be rotated, thereby causing the positioning plate 140, which is threadedly connected to the screw 130, to move within the limiting groove 120. The connecting pipe 113, which is connected to the top of the outer frame 110, is connected to the air duct, providing a stable channel for the airflow of the air conditioning system. The design of the connecting pipe 113 ensures a tight connection with the air duct, reduces airflow leakage, and ensures that the airflow generated by the air conditioning system can be efficiently delivered to the air outlet, thereby achieving a uniform air delivery effect.

[0026] In use, the outer frame assembly 100 is first connected to the ceiling by screws and mounting holes 112. The top of the outer frame assembly 100 extends into the ceiling, achieving a concealed design and improving aesthetics. The connecting pipe 113 at the top of the outer frame 110 connects to the air conditioning system duct, facilitating airflow. Next, the inner frame assembly 200 is pushed into the inner cavity of the outer frame 110. The sliding engagement of the retaining plate 211 and the retaining groove 111 prevents misalignment when the inner frame 210 enters the outer frame 110. When the inner frame 210 is fully inside the outer frame 110, rotating the knob clockwise rotates the screw 130. Since the screw 130 is threadedly connected to the positioning plate 140, its rotation causes the positioning plate 140 to slide along the inner cavity of the limiting groove 120 until it enters the inner cavity of the positioning groove 220, thus aligning the inner frame 210. The positioning system secures the inner frame assembly 200 and the outer frame assembly 100. When cleaning the flow guide assembly 230 and filter screen 250 in the inner frame assembly 200, the knob is rotated counterclockwise, causing the screw 130 to rotate. Since the screw 130 is threadedly connected to the positioning plate 140, the screw 130 will slide along the inner cavity of the limiting groove 120 during rotation until the positioning plate 140 disengages from the inner cavity of the positioning groove 220, thereby releasing the positioning of the inner frame 210. Then, the inner frame assembly 200 can be moved out without damaging the ceiling, facilitating the cleaning of the flow guide assembly 230. At the same time, through the magnetic connection between the first magnet 240 and the second magnet 260, the filter screen 250 can be pulled down directly, separating the second magnet 260 from the first magnet 240. The entire process requires no tools, allowing for quick and easy manual disassembly and assembly of the filter screen 250, greatly improving the convenience of disassembly and maintenance.
