Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) equipment technology, and more particularly to a panel structure and HVAC equipment. Background Technology

[0002] In building HVAC systems, air outlet panels typically require movable settings to adjust the opening and closing of the air vents. Existing structures sometimes use a drive motor to move the panel for automated control. However, existing panel structures suffer from exposed and easily damaged drive motor wires. Utility Model Content

[0003] This application provides a panel structure and HVAC equipment to solve the problem of exposed and easily damaged wires in existing drive motors.

[0004] In a first aspect, this application provides a panel structure, including:

[0005] An air outlet housing is provided with an air outlet extending in a first direction, and a wire passage groove is provided in the air outlet housing, the wire passage groove extending in the first direction;

[0006] A panel, which is movably disposed on the air outlet housing to close or open the air outlet;

[0007] A drive motor is provided, which is disposed in the air outlet housing. The output shaft of the drive motor can drive the panel to move relative to the air outlet housing. The drive motor is provided with wires, and at least one wire of the drive motor passes through the wire groove.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the panel structure includes an air outlet housing with an air outlet and a cable channel, a panel that can control the opening and closing of the air outlet, and a drive motor that can be used to drive the panel to move, and its power supply line can be arranged in the cable channel.

[0009] In practice, the output shaft of the drive motor drives the panel to move, while the drive motor's wires are guided into the preset wire groove.

[0010] Understandably, compared to the haphazard arrangement of wires in the prior art, the panel structure of this application embodiment, through the built-in wire channel, not only ensures the safe isolation of wires from moving parts, but also maintains the neatness and orderliness inside the device, effectively solving the problems of messy wiring and easily damaged lines in the drive motor.

[0011] In the specific implementation process, the air outlet housing is provided with an air outlet plate, and the air outlet plate is disposed at the air outlet;

[0012] The air outlet plate extends along the first direction, and the air outlet plate is provided with the wire groove.

[0013] By integrating a cable tray into the air outlet panel, an integrated layout of the airflow channel and electrical wiring space is achieved. The extension of the air outlet panel along the air outlet direction allows the cable tray to run through the entire length of the housing, providing a continuous and standardized wiring path for the wires. This ensures neat and reliable wiring without affecting the airflow guiding function of the air outlet panel.

[0014] In the specific implementation process, a fixing component is provided on the side of the air outlet plate near the air outlet;

[0015] The fastener forms the cable groove in the thickness direction of the air outlet plate.

[0016] By installing a fixing component on the side of the air outlet panel near the air outlet, a wire passage structure can be constructed using the thickness of the air outlet panel. The wire passage formed by the fixing component provides shielding protection for the wires.

[0017] In specific implementation, the fixing component includes a first fixing component and a second fixing component;

[0018] The first fixing member and the second fixing member are spaced apart along the second direction.

[0019] The spaced arrangement of the first and second fixing members creates a wire positioning structure on the surface of the air outlet panel. The coordinated action of the first and second fixing members ensures the stable positioning of the wire.

[0020] In the specific implementation process, the air outlet housing is provided with a cover plate, which is located on one side of the air outlet plate, and the cover plate can close at least part of the wire groove.

[0021] The partial enclosure design of the cable tray with a cover plate achieves a balance between conductor protection and ease of maintenance. It effectively prevents foreign objects from entering the cable tray and interfering with the conductors, while retaining necessary maintenance access. This selective enclosure structure optimizes equipment maintainability while ensuring electrical safety, making daily inspections and troubleshooting more efficient.

[0022] In the specific implementation process, the air outlet housing is provided with a side plate, and the side plate is connected to one end of the air outlet plate along the first direction;

[0023] In the first direction, the fixing member is spaced apart from the side plate, and the wire is passed through the fixing member and the side plate.

[0024] The spaced arrangement of the side panels and fasteners creates a transition channel for the wires at the end of the air outlet panel, ensuring a smooth connection of the wires from the cable tray to the external equipment. This avoids excessive bending of the wires at corners and provides convenient operating space for wiring connections.

[0025] In the specific implementation process, the air outlet housing is provided with a motor bracket, which can fix the drive motor;

[0026] The motor bracket is provided with a wire groove, which can be used to pass the wire through, and the wire groove is connected to the wire passage groove.

[0027] A wiring system from the drive motor to the main circuit is constructed by integrating wire channels into the motor bracket and connecting them to the through-channels. The through-channel design of the wire channels and through-channels provides full protection for the wires, avoiding the risk of exposed wiring and ensuring stable power transmission to the drive motor.

[0028] In specific implementation, there are multiple drive motors, including a first motor and a second motor;

[0029] The first motor and the second motor are spaced apart along the first direction, and the output ends of the first motor and the second motor are coaxially arranged.

[0030] By arranging the first and second motors along the length of the air outlet, a balanced distribution of driving force is achieved for the large-sized panel. The coaxial arrangement of the output ends of the first and second motors ensures the synchronous transmission of driving force, effectively preventing twisting or jamming during panel movement.

[0031] In specific implementation, the first end of the air outlet housing along the first direction can be used to install electronic control components;

[0032] The first motor is located near the first end of the air outlet housing, and the second motor is located near the second end of the air outlet housing. The wires of the second motor are threaded through the wire groove.

[0033] By centrally arranging the electrical control components at the first end of the air outlet housing, and coordinating the layout of the first and second motors, efficient integration of the electrical system is achieved. The first motor is connected nearby, shortening the main control circuit, while the second motor's wiring is extended through cable trays, ensuring stable power supply to the remote motor while maintaining overall wiring standardization.

[0034] Secondly, this application provides a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) device, including a panel structure as described in any of the first aspects. Attached Figure Description

[0044] The accompanying drawings illustrate specific embodiments of this application, which will be described in more detail below. These drawings and descriptions are not intended to limit the scope of the concept in any way, but rather to illustrate the concept of this application to those skilled in the art through reference to particular embodiments. Detailed Implementation

[0045] In the field of HVAC equipment, electrically adjustable air vents are widely used due to their convenient automated control features. To achieve the opening and closing function of the air vent, a motor-driven movable panel structure is typically used. However, when the air vent adopts a long, narrow design, problems such as insufficient driving force and asynchronous panel movement often arise. Some improved solutions employ a multi-motor coordinated drive design, increasing the number of drive points to improve the stability of the panel movement.

[0046] In existing technologies, to solve the wiring problem of drive motors, some solutions propose setting up a distributed wire channel structure inside the air outlet housing to allow the wires of each drive motor to run independently, or using an external conduit design to centrally store the wires in an external protective sleeve, or setting independent drive devices on both sides of the panel.

[0047] However, these improvements still have significant drawbacks: distributed cable trays result in low internal space utilization and make unified cable management difficult; external conduits affect the aesthetics of the equipment and increase installation complexity; independent drive methods lead to messy motor wiring, with wires prone to interference with moving parts, and long-term use may result in wire wear or even short circuits. Furthermore, exposed wiring harnesses also affect the cleanliness of the equipment's interior, causing inconvenience for installation and maintenance.

[0048] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a panel structure solution that can achieve a neat arrangement of drive motor wires.

[0049] To address the technical problems of messy wiring and easily damaged lines in existing drive motors, this application provides a panel structure that achieves orderly arrangement and reliable protection of motor wires. The panel structure includes an air outlet housing with an air outlet and a cable tray, a panel for controlling the opening and closing of the air outlet, and a drive motor for moving the panel. The power supply line of the drive motor can be arranged within the cable channel.

[0050] In practice, the output shaft of the drive motor drives the panel to move, while the drive motor's wires are guided into the preset wire groove.

[0051] Understandably, compared to the haphazard arrangement of wires in the prior art, the panel structure of this application embodiment, through the built-in wire channel, not only ensures the safe isolation of wires from moving parts, but also maintains the neatness and orderliness inside the device, effectively solving the problems of messy wiring and easily damaged lines in the drive motor.

These specific embodiments can be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be described again in some embodiments. The embodiments of this application will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0059] See Figures 1 to 4 This application provides a panel structure, wherein the panel 200 structure may include an air outlet housing 100, a panel 200, and a drive motor 300.

[0060] The air outlet housing 100 can serve as a basic support component for the structure of the panel 200, and can be embedded in the ceiling to construct an airflow channel and provide an installation platform for the panel 200.

[0061] The air outlet housing 100 may be provided with an air outlet 110 extending along a first direction, which can constitute the main channel for airflow. The first direction can indicate the length direction of the air outlet housing 100. The air outlet 110 can be designed with a regular geometric shape or an irregular shape according to actual ventilation requirements, and its edge can be provided with a guide structure to optimize the airflow direction. The arrangement of the air outlet 110 includes, but is not limited to, central placement, offset arrangement, or multi-hole array, to adapt to different airflow organization requirements.

[0062] The air outlet housing 100 may be provided with a wire channel 121, which may extend along a first direction. The wire channel 121 can be used to regulate the arrangement path of the drive motor 300 wires 321, preventing the wires 321 from getting tangled or interfering during the movement of the panel 200. The cross-sectional shape of the wire channel 121 may be circular, square, or other geometric shapes suitable for cable routing, and its inner surface may be provided with an anti-wear treatment to protect the wires 321. The wire channel 121 may be an integrally formed groove on the housing, or it may be a wire channel assembly that is separately processed and fixed to the housing.

[0063] The design of the cable tray 121 extending along the first direction is consistent with the extension direction of the air outlet 110. This arrangement can make full use of the internal space of the housing and provide a continuous and cross-regional cable routing channel for the wire 321.

[0064] For example, when both sides of the air outlet housing 100 are provided with drive motors 300 but only one side is arranged with an electronic control component 160, the design of the wire groove 121 extending along the first direction allows it to penetrate the effective length of the air outlet housing 100, providing a transmission path to the electronic control component 160 for the drive motor 300 wire 321 on the side away from the electronic control component 160, thus solving the problem of wire 321 connection in the case of asymmetrical electrical layout.

[0065] The panel 200 is movably mounted on the air outlet housing 100 and can be used as a control component for the airflow channel to adjust the ventilation status and maintain the integrity of the decoration.

[0066] The movable configuration of panel 200 allows it to switch between open and closed states. Specific implementations of this movable connection include, but are not limited to, parallel movement, rotational motion, or a combination of these. In the parallel movement implementation, panel 200 can maintain its relative position to the air outlet housing 100 via guide rails or linkage mechanisms; in the rotational motion implementation, panel 200 can rotate around a fixed axis to achieve the opening and closing function.

[0067] The edge of the panel 200 may be provided with a sealing element, which can form a tight fit with the air outlet housing 100 in the closed state, effectively preventing airflow leakage and dust intrusion.

[0068] When the panel 200 is in the closed position, it completely covers the air outlet 110 area, sealing the air outlet 110 and blocking the airflow path, thus preventing dust accumulation when not in operation. At this time, the panel 200 can be flush with the air outlet housing 100, so that the outer surface of the panel 200 and the outer contour of the air outlet housing 100 are coplanar.

[0069] When the panel 200 is in the open position, the panel 200 can open the air outlet 110. The panel 200 and the air outlet housing 100 can be spaced apart. The space formed between the panel 200 and the air outlet housing 100 can form a channel for airflow, while avoiding structural interference with the ceiling.

[0070] The drive motor 300 can be used as the power source for the movement of the panel 200. It can be installed in the air outlet housing 100. The drive motor 300 can convert the rotational motion into the linear displacement of the panel 200, thereby realizing the opening and closing of the air outlet 110.

[0071] The output shaft of the drive motor 300 can drive the panel 200 to move relative to the air outlet housing 100. The output shaft of the drive motor 300 is connected to the panel 200 through a transmission mechanism, allowing the drive motor 300 to directly act on the panel 200 and ensuring effective transmission of driving force. The installation position of the drive motor 300 can be selected according to the structure of the air outlet housing 100, and it can be set at the end, side, or other appropriate position of the air outlet housing 100. Its fixing method can be various forms such as bolt connection, snap-fit ​​fixing, or bracket installation.

[0072] The specific implementation methods for driving the panel 200 to move via the output shaft of the drive motor 300 include, but are not limited to: converting rotary motion into linear motion through a gear and rack mechanism, driving the panel 200 to translate through a synchronous belt pulley system, or achieving reciprocating motion of the panel 200 through a linkage mechanism. The transmission connection between the output shaft and the panel 200 can be equipped with necessary guiding structures, such as guide rails or slides, to ensure the smoothness and accuracy of the panel 200's movement. The drive motor 300 can be a stepper motor, DC motor, or servo motor, etc.

[0073] The drive motor 300 may be equipped with a wire 321, which is mainly used to provide power supply and control signal transmission for the drive motor 300.

[0074] At least one drive motor 300's wire 321 can be threaded through the wire channel 121, enabling management of the electrical circuitry. When the panel 200 structure has multiple drive motors 300, some of the drive motors 300 are located away from the electronic control component 160. In this case, the wires 321 of the drive motors 300 located away from the electronic control component 160 can be guided to the electronic control component 160 through the wire channel 121.

[0075] The cable tray 121 extending along the first direction on the air outlet housing 100 enables the orderly arrangement and reliable protection of the wires 321 of the drive motor 300. The cable tray 121 centrally stores the wires 321 within a preset path, avoiding the risk of interference with the movable panel 200. It also facilitates the wiring management of the drive motor 300 system, ensuring the smooth movement of the panel 200 and improving the internal space utilization of the equipment, making the overall structure more compact and reliable.

[0076] As a specific embodiment of this application, the air outlet housing 100 may be provided with an air outlet plate 120, which is disposed at the air outlet 110. The air outlet plate 120 disposed at the air outlet 110 can form an airflow channel and ensure the directional delivery of airflow, and can also provide a structural basis for the installation of the cable tray 121.

[0077] The air outlet plate 120 can extend along the first direction, and the air outlet plate 120 can be provided with a wire channel 121. The extension of the air outlet plate 120 along the first direction can cover the entire length of the air outlet 110, ensuring the continuity of the airflow channel, and also providing installation space for the wire channel 121.

[0078] The air outlet plate 120 can be a sheet material formed by integral stamping, with the wire passage groove 121 directly machined on the plate. Alternatively, it can be a split design, with the independent wire passage groove 121 fixed to the surface of the air outlet plate 120. The arrangement of the wire passage groove 121 on the air outlet plate 120 can be selected near the edge, and its cross-sectional shape can be designed as U-shaped, C-shaped, or other geometric shapes suitable for the passage of the wire 321.

[0079] The connection methods between the air outlet plate 120 and the air outlet housing 100 include, but are not limited to: bolt fixing, snap-fit ​​connection or welding, which ensures structural stability while facilitating disassembly and maintenance.

[0080] As a specific embodiment of this application, a fixing member 122 may be provided on the side of the air outlet 120 near the air outlet 110. In the thickness direction of the air outlet 120, the fixing member 122 may form a wire channel 121. By providing the fixing member 122 on the side of the air outlet 120 near the air outlet 110, a channel for the wire 321 can be constructed in a limited space, while avoiding interference with other functional areas of the air outlet 120. For example, a fan blade may be provided on the side of the air outlet 120 away from the air outlet 110. By placing the fixing member 122 on the side of the air outlet 120 near the air outlet 110, it is possible to prevent the fixing member 122 from getting tangled or interfering with the fan blade.

[0081] The fastener 122 can form a space for receiving the wire groove 121 in the thickness direction (i.e., vertical direction) of the air outlet plate 120. The specific structure of the fastener 122 can be a flange structure that extends continuously along the length direction of the air outlet plate 120, and its sidewall and the surface of the air outlet plate 120 together form a closed or semi-closed wire groove; or it can be multiple positioning blocks arranged at intervals, which are combined to form the wiring path of the wire 321.

[0082] As a specific embodiment of this application, the fixing member 122 may include a first fixing member 1221 and a second fixing member 1222, which may be spaced apart along a second direction. The second direction may be the width direction of the air outlet plate 120. The first fixing member 1221 and the second fixing member 1222 can realize the three-dimensional construction of the wire 321 channel. The spaced arrangement of the first fixing member 1221 and the second fixing member 1222 along the second direction can form a wiring space with a clear boundary on the surface of the air outlet plate 120.

[0083] The first fixing member 1221 and the second fixing member 1222 can be plates that are vertically arranged on the air outlet plate 120. The first fixing member 1221 and the second fixing member 1222 can have the same height and thickness, forming a standard U-shaped groove structure symmetrically; or they can be designed with different sizes to form an asymmetrical space for accommodating the wire 321.

[0084] The connection methods between the first fixing member 1221 and the second fixing member 1222 and the air outlet plate 120 include, but are not limited to, welding, riveting, or integral molding processes. The connection strength must be able to withstand the mechanical stress during the installation and maintenance of the wire 321. The distance between the first fixing member 1221 and the second fixing member 1222 can determine the width of the wire groove 121, and the height of the first fixing member 1221 and the second fixing member 1222 can determine the depth of the wire groove 121, which can be flexibly adjusted according to the size of the wire 321.

[0085] As a specific embodiment of this application, the air outlet housing 100 may be provided with a cover plate 130, which may be located on one side of the air outlet plate 120. The cover plate 130 can close at least part of the wire passage 121. The cover plate 130 can form a protective seal on the wire passage 121, preventing the entry of external foreign objects or the accidental detachment of the wires 321. Covering at least part of the wire passage 121 with the cover plate 130 can ensure the basic protection requirements of the wires 321 while retaining the necessary accessibility for maintenance operations, balancing protection and maintainability, and is suitable for electrical wiring occasions that require regular maintenance.

[0086] The specific implementation of the cover plate 130 includes several possibilities: it can be an integral cover plate 130 of the same length as the wire channel 121, which can be opened by hinge on one side; or it can be a number of small cover plates 130 arranged in segments, which respectively cover different sections of the wire channel 121.

[0087] The connection between the cover plate 130 and the air outlet housing 100 can adopt various structural forms such as sliding, flipping, or detachable. The cover plate 130 can be made of metal sheet, engineering plastic, or composite material. In terms of sealing, the cover plate 130 can completely cover the top opening of the cable tray 121, or it can be designed as a semi-enclosed structure with an observation window or heat dissipation holes.

[0088] As a specific embodiment of this application, the air outlet housing 100 may be provided with a side plate 140, which may be connected to one end of the air outlet plate 120 along a first direction. The side plate 140 may serve as an end structure of the air outlet housing 100 in the length direction, used to close one end of the air outlet plate 120 and form a complete air outlet 110 boundary.

[0089] In the first direction, the fastener 122 can be spaced apart from the side plate 140, and the space between the fastener 122 and the side plate 140 can be used to pass through the wire 321. The spaced arrangement between the fastener 122 and the partition can form a transition area for the wire 321, ensuring a smooth transition when the wire 321 enters the wire channel 121 from the outside and when the wire 321 enters the outside from the wire channel 121, avoiding excessive bending of the wire 321 at corners.

[0090] The specific spatial relationship between the side plate 140 and the fastener 122 can be implemented in various ways: the distance between the side plate 140 and the fastener 122 can be determined according to the size and bending radius requirements of the wire 321 to ensure that the wire 321 is not damaged by mechanical stress; the interval area can be kept open or an auxiliary guide structure can be set to guide the wire 321.

[0091] The connection methods between the side plate 140 and the air outlet plate 120 include, but are not limited to, welding, bolting, or integral molding. On the path through which the wire 321 passes between the side plate 140 and the fixing member 122, protective devices such as wear-resistant bushings or guide rollers can be added to reduce the frictional resistance when the wire 321 moves.

[0092] As a specific embodiment of this application, the air outlet housing 100 may be provided with a motor bracket 150, which can fix the drive motor 300. The motor bracket 150 can be used to provide a stable support structure for the drive motor 300.

[0093] The motor bracket 150 may be provided with a wire groove 151, which can be used to pass wires 321 through. The wire groove 151 can be connected to the wire passage groove 121. The wire groove 151 provided on the motor bracket 150 can be used to lead out the power line, signal line, and other wires 321 of the drive motor 300. The connection between the wire groove 151 and the wire passage groove 121 of the air outlet housing 100 can ensure continuous protection of the wires 321 throughout the transmission path and avoid the existence of exposed sections.

[0094] The specific structural implementation of the motor bracket 150 and the wire groove 151 can take various forms. For example, the motor bracket 150 can be manufactured using casting or sheet metal forming processes, and the wire groove 151 can be a groove directly machined into the motor bracket 150, or it can be an additional wire groove assembly. The connection method between the wire groove 151 and the through-groove 121 includes direct docking, connection through a transition groove, or transition using a flexible conduit, etc.

[0095] The motor bracket 150 can be fixed at the end, middle or other appropriate position of the air outlet housing 100 according to the layout requirements of the drive motor 300. The installation method includes bolt connection, welding or snap-fit ​​fixing.

[0096] As a specific embodiment of this application, the number of drive motors 300 can be multiple, including a first motor 310 and a second motor 320. Setting the first motor 310 and the second motor 320 can achieve coordinated driving of the long panel 200, ensuring that the panel 200 moves smoothly along the entire length of the air outlet 110.

[0097] The first motor 310 and the second motor 320 can be spaced apart along a first direction, and the output ends of the first motor 310 and the second motor 320 can be coaxially arranged. The spaced-apart arrangement of the first motor 310 and the second motor 320 along the first direction ensures that the driving force is evenly distributed across different positions of the panel 200, and the coaxial arrangement of the output ends guarantees the synchronicity and consistency of the output motion of the first motor 310 and the second motor 320. This arrangement is suitable for panel 200 driving scenarios that require overcoming significant motion resistance or achieving high-precision positioning.

[0098] The specific configuration schemes of the first motor 310 and the second motor 320 may include various implementation methods. For example, the first motor 310 and the second motor 320 may use the same model to achieve symmetrical drive, or motors with different power may be selected according to the position difference. The output end of the first motor 310 and the output end of the second motor 320 are coaxially set and can be directly connected to the two output shafts through a coupling, or the shaft coupling can be achieved through a transmission mechanism such as a synchronous belt or gear.

[0099] As a specific embodiment of this application, the first end of the air outlet housing 100 along the first direction can be used to install the electronic control component 160. The electronic control component 160, as the control center of the entire panel 200 drive system, can provide electrical control functions for the drive motor 300, including electrical functions such as power distribution, motion control, and signal processing.

[0100] The method of installing the electronic control component 160 at the first end of the air outlet housing 100 along the first direction can be to directly fix it to the end of the air outlet housing 100, or it can be set in a separate electronic control box and then connected to the air outlet housing 100.

[0101] The first motor 310 can be located near the first end of the air outlet housing 100, and the second motor 320 can be located near the second end of the air outlet housing 100. The wire 321 of the second motor 320 can be run through the wire groove 121. The close proximity of the first motor 310 and the electronic control component 160 allows the connection line between the two to be directly connected via the shortest path, while the wire 321 of the second motor 320 needs to run along the wire groove 121 and cross the entire length of the air outlet housing 100.

[0102] In summary, when the first end of the air outlet housing 100 is equipped with the first motor 310 and the electronic control component 160, and the second end of the air outlet housing 100 is equipped with the second motor 320, the wire 321 of the second motor 320, after being led out from the motor terminal, first passes through the wire groove 151 provided on the motor bracket 150. The wire groove 151 provides initial positioning and protection for the wire 321. Subsequently, the wire 321 extends along the wire passage groove 121 provided on the air outlet plate 120 towards the first end of the air outlet housing 100. The wire passage groove 121 is formed by the space formed by the first fixing member 1221 and the second fixing member 1222 in the thickness direction of the air outlet plate 120, ensuring that the wire 321 is properly protected during long-distance transmission. When the wire 321 approaches the side plate 140 area, a natural transition is achieved by utilizing the space between the fixing member 122 and the side plate 140, avoiding damage to the wire 321 caused by sharp bends. Finally, the wire 321 is connected to the electronic control component 160 through the first end of the air outlet housing 100.

[0103] Throughout the wiring path, the cover plate 130 partially encloses the exposed section of the cable tray 121, preventing foreign objects from entering without affecting maintenance operations. This panel 200 structure connects components such as the motor bracket 150, cable tray 121, fastener 122, and side plate 140 in series, constructing a complete and standardized wiring system that ensures electrical safety while optimizing space utilization. Particularly for the second motor 320, which is far from the electrical control component 160, the extended design of the cable tray 121 allows it to share the same control power supply as the first motor 310, achieving a rational and standardized wiring structure.
