[0002] In related technologies, ducted air conditioners include a housing and a drip tray, with the housing including a top cover. After leaving the factory, the ducted air conditioner is concealed in the ceiling, with the top cover located at the bottom and the drip tray above it. Conventional ducted air conditioners have their air outlet located on the front wall of the housing, providing front-discharge airflow, and the top cover seals the lower end of the housing. Utility Model Content

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this application is to provide an air outlet component and an air outlet unit for a ducted air conditioner, which can enrich the air outlet modes of the ducted air conditioner.

[0005] This embodiment of the application features a downward air outlet on the water collection tray of the ducted air conditioner, enabling the ducted air conditioner to have a downward air outlet function. This enriches the air outlet modes of the ducted air conditioner and optimizes the user experience.

[0006] Furthermore, for conventional ducted air conditioners with only side air outlets, the top cover only needs to be aligned with one side of the side air outlet for installation. However, for ducted air conditioners with both side and bottom air outlets, the top cover needs to be aligned with both sides of the side and bottom air outlets, making the installation more difficult. Therefore, this solution incorporates a guide structure on the drip tray to guide the installation process between the top cover and the drip tray, thereby reducing the assembly difficulty of the top cover.

[0009] In one exemplary embodiment, the clearance opening is open at the end away from the cover plate.

[0010] In an exemplary embodiment, the reinforcing flange includes a first sub-edge, a second sub-edge, and a third sub-edge connected in sequence. The second sub-edge is located at one end of the clearance opening near the cover plate and is flush with the cover plate. The first sub-edge is located on one side of the length direction of the second sub-edge and is connected to one end of the second sub-edge. The third sub-edge is located on the other side of the length direction of the second sub-edge and is connected to the other end of the second sub-edge.

[0011] In one exemplary embodiment, the connection portion between the second sub-side and the first sub-side has a deformable portion; and / or, the connection portion between the second sub-side and the third sub-side has a deformable portion.

[0012] In one exemplary embodiment, the lower vent is provided with a flange edge.

[0013] In an exemplary embodiment, the flange edge is located outside the lower air outlet, and the flange edge is provided with a folded edge; the folded edge is located outside the lower air outlet; the guide structure includes a limiting groove provided outside the lower air outlet, and the groove wall of the limiting groove is provided with a guide slope to guide the folded edge to be inserted into the limiting groove.

[0014] In an exemplary embodiment, the water receiving tray is provided with an air outlet channel and a plurality of guide teeth spaced apart along the length of the lower air outlet. The lower air outlet is the port of the air outlet channel. One end of the guide teeth is connected to the outer wall of the air outlet channel, and the other end of the guide teeth extends obliquely away from the air outlet channel, so that the plurality of guide teeth and the outer wall of the air outlet channel form the limiting groove.

Detailed Implementation

[0019] The principles and features of this application are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The examples given are only for explaining this application and are not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0020] like Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown in the figure, this application embodiment provides an air outlet component for a ducted air conditioner, including: a top cover 1 and a water receiving tray 2.

[0021] Water tray 2 is equipped with a lower air outlet 22, such as Figure 6 As shown. The top cover 1 includes a cover plate 11. The cover plate 11 is provided with a lower ventilation opening 111, as shown. Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown. The lower vent 111 is configured to correspond to the lower air outlet 22 of the water receiving tray 2, so that the airflow discharged from the lower air outlet 22 can pass through the cover plate 11 and be discharged without being blocked by the top cover 1.

[0022] The water tray 2 is equipped with a guide structure located at the lower air outlet 22, which is set to guide the installation between the top cover 1 and the water tray 2.

[0023] This embodiment of the application provides a downward air outlet 22 on the water receiving tray 2 of the ducted air conditioner, enabling the ducted air conditioner to have a downward air outlet function. This enriches the air outlet modes of the ducted air conditioner and optimizes the user experience. Furthermore, the cover plate 11 of the top cover 1 has a downward ventilation opening, allowing the airflow discharged from the downward air outlet 22 to pass through the top cover 1 and be discharged, thus meeting the usage requirements of the ducted air conditioner with downward air outlet function. In this way, the ducted air conditioner has a downward air outlet function, which enriches the air outlet modes and improves the user experience.

[0024] Furthermore, for conventional ducted air conditioners with only side air outlets 31, the top cover 1 only needs to be aligned with one side of the side air outlet 31 for installation. However, for ducted air conditioners with both side air outlets 31 and bottom air outlets 22, the top cover 1 needs to be aligned with both the side air outlet 31 and the bottom air outlet 22 for installation, making the alignment more difficult. Therefore, this solution incorporates a guide structure on the drip tray 2 to guide the installation process between the top cover 1 and the drip tray 2, thereby reducing the assembly difficulty of the top cover 1.

[0025] In some exemplary embodiments, the top cover 1 further includes a side plate 12, which is bent relative to the cover plate 11 and connected to the cover plate 11.

[0026] like Figure 3 As shown, the side plate 12 is provided with an avoidance opening 121 to avoid the water outlet 21 of the water receiving tray 2 of the air duct machine (e.g., Figure 1 and Figure 2 (As shown). The water outlet 21 passes through the clearance opening 121. The end of the clearance opening 121 near the cover plate 11 extends to the cover plate 11, as shown. Figure 3 As shown. The top cover 1 also includes a reinforcing flange 13 located at the clearance opening 121, as shown. Figure 1 As shown, the reinforcing flange 13 extends circumferentially along the clearance opening 121 and folds along the thickness direction of the side plate 12, and the reinforcing flange 13 is an integral structure.

[0027] The top cover 1 of the duct air conditioner provided in this embodiment has a reinforcing flange 13 at the clearance opening 121 of its side plate 12, which can improve the structural strength of the clearance opening 121 and reduce the risk of deformation at the clearance opening 121. Furthermore, compared to a solution that forms multiple unconnected flanges by bending each side of the clearance opening 121, the reinforcing flange 13 in this solution is an integral structure with higher structural strength.

[0028] While stamping can create a one-piece flange, the stamping process leaves a gap between the end of the clearance opening 121 near the cover plate 11 and the cover plate 11. This results in the water outlet 21 of the duct unit being concealed in the ceiling and positioned relatively high, leading to a larger accumulation of water in the water tray 2. In contrast to the stamping method, this solution extends the clearance opening 121 directly to the cover plate 11. Therefore, the water outlet 21 of the water tray 2 is positioned lower after the duct unit is concealed in the ceiling, reducing water accumulation in the water tray 2.

[0029] In some exemplary embodiments, the top cover 1 is a sheet metal part with high structural strength and is easy to process and form.

[0030] In some exemplary embodiments, the end of the clearance opening 121 away from the cover plate 11 is open. In other words, the clearance opening 121 is a U-shaped opening (e.g., Figure 3 As shown in the figure, the reinforced flange 13 is a U-shaped flange.

[0031] This facilitates the forming of the clearance opening 121, the forming of the reinforced flange 13, and the assembly of the water outlet 21 of the water receiving tray 2 with the clearance opening 121.

[0032] In some exemplary embodiments, the reinforced flange 13 includes a first sub-edge 131, a second sub-edge 132, and a third sub-edge 133 connected in sequence, such as... Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown. The second sub-side 132 is located at the end of the clearance opening 121 near the cover plate 11 and is flush with the cover plate 11, as shown. Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown. The first sub-side 131 is located on one side of the length direction of the second sub-side 132 and is connected to one end of the second sub-side 132. The third sub-side 133 is located on the other side of the length direction of the second sub-side 132 and is connected to the other end of the second sub-side 132.

[0033] Since the second flange is flush with the cover plate 11, the clearance opening 121 of the formed top cover 1 can extend to the cover plate 11, so that there is no distance between the end of the clearance opening 121 near the cover plate 11 and the cover plate 11. Therefore, the position of the water outlet 21 of the water tray 2 after the duct machine is concealed in the ceiling can be reduced, thereby reducing the amount of water accumulated in the water tray 2.

[0034] In some exemplary embodiments, the connection portion between the second sub-side 132 and the first sub-side 131 has a deformable portion 134, such as... Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the connection between the second sub-side 132 and the third sub-side 133 has a deformable portion 134.

[0035] During the processing, a relatively small opening (equivalent to the clearance opening 121 of the reinforcing flange 13 before it is folded out) can be made on the side plate 12 of the top cover 1. Then, the plate is bent along the opposite sides of the opening to make the main body of the first sub-side 131 and the third sub-side 133 bend out (the part near the second sub-side 132 is deformed). Then, the part of the side plate 12 located between the first sub-side 131 and the third sub-side 133 is folded outward to make the second sub-plate bend out and flush with the cover plate 11. In this way, the clearance opening 121 after final forming can extend to the cover plate 11 at the end near the cover plate 11, and the reinforcing flange 13 is an integral structure. During the folding process, the corner parts of the reinforced flange 13 (i.e. the connection part between the second sub-edge 132 and the first sub-edge 131, and the connection part between the second sub-edge 132 and the third sub-edge 133) can be hammered, bent, etc., so that the second sub-edge 132 can be folded out smoothly. Therefore, the corner parts of the reinforced flange 13 will have deformed parts 134, such as triangular deformed parts 134.

[0036] Of course, the forming method of the reinforcing flange 13 is not limited to this. The corner portion of the reinforcing flange 13 may not have the deformed part 134. For example, in other embodiments, the reinforcing flange 13 can be formed separately by bending first, and then fixed to the clearance opening 121 by welding. In this case, the opening initially opened on the side plate 12 of the top cover 1 is the clearance opening 121. Alternatively, the top cover 1 can also be integrally formed by casting to obtain an integral reinforcing flange 13.

[0037] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the lower vent 111 can be a long rectangular opening, and the clearance opening 121 can be located on one side of the length direction of the lower vent 111.

[0038] In some exemplary embodiments, a flange edge 112 is provided at the lower vent 111, such as... Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown. This facilitates the connection of structures such as the duct canvas through flange edge 112, thereby reducing the amount of airflow discharged from the duct unit that escapes into the ceiling.

[0039] In some exemplary embodiments, the flange edge 112 is located outside the lower air outlet 22, and the flange edge 112 is provided with a folded edge 113, such as... Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the flange 113 is located on the outside of the lower air outlet 22. This prevents the flange 112 and the flange 113 from extending into the lower air outlet 22, thus helping to avoid problems such as the flange 112 and the flange 113 affecting the air outlet and condensation on the flange 112 or the flange 113.

[0040] The folded edge 113 is configured to be inserted into the limiting groove 24 of the water receiving tray 2, such as... Figure 9 As shown. Therefore, the folded edge 113 can play the role of assembly positioning and assembly limit, which is conducive to improving the assembly efficiency of the top cover 1 and the water receiving tray 2 and the reliability after assembly.

[0041] The flange edge 112 may include two L-shaped plates spaced apart from each other along the width direction of the lower vent 111, such as... Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 9 As shown. Both L-shaped plates have folded edges 113 along their inner edges, as... Figure 9 As shown, the folded edge 113 is bent towards the cover plate 11.

[0042] In some exemplary embodiments, the guide structure includes a limiting groove 24 disposed on the outer side of the lower air outlet 22, such as... Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown. The groove wall of the limiting groove 24 is provided with a guide slope 251, as... Figure 9 As shown, the flange 113 of the flange 112 on the top cover 1 is inserted into the limiting groove 24 to guide it.

[0043] In this way, as the top cover 1 covers the water receiving tray 2, its folded edge 113 can be smoothly inserted into the limiting groove 24 along the guide slope 251, so as to achieve the alignment between the top cover 1 and the water receiving tray 2.

[0044] In some exemplary embodiments, the water receiving tray 2 is provided with an air outlet channel 23 and a plurality of guide teeth 25 spaced apart along the length direction of the lower air outlet 22, such as Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown. The lower air outlet 22 is the port of the air outlet channel 23. One end of the guide tooth 25 is connected to the outer wall of the air outlet channel 23. The other end of the guide tooth 25 extends obliquely away from the air outlet channel 23, so that a limiting groove 24 is formed between the multiple guide teeth 25 and the outer wall of the air outlet channel 23, as shown. Figure 9 As shown, the guide slope 251 is located on the guide tooth 25.

[0045] Compared to the scheme that uses a continuous plate-like structure to form a limiting groove 24 on the outer wall of the air outlet channel 23, this scheme uses multiple spaced guide teeth 25 to form a limiting groove 24 on the outer wall of the air outlet channel 23. This can reduce the contact area between the folded edge 113 of the top cover 1 and the water receiving tray 2, which helps to reduce frictional resistance and make the installation process of the top cover 1 smoother. On the other hand, it can avoid the risk of deformation of the lower air outlet 22 due to the shrinkage of the continuous long strip plate-like structure. It can also avoid the presence of thin steel in the mold, which helps to extend the mold life.

[0046] Furthermore, along the direction in which the folded edge 113 is inserted into the limiting groove 24, the width of the limiting groove 24 gradually decreases, such as... Figure 9 As shown, the folded edge 113 can be stably kept in the limiting groove 24 to improve the stability of the top cover 1 position.

[0047] In some embodiments, the width of the guide tooth 25 gradually increases along the direction in which the folded edge 113 is inserted into the limiting groove 24, such as... Figure 8 As shown, this can improve the structural strength of the guide tooth 25 and reduce the risk of the guide tooth 25 deforming or breaking.

[0048] In some embodiments, such as Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the outer wall of the air outlet duct 23 is provided with a connecting plate 26 extending along the length of the lower air outlet 22, and one end of the guide tooth 25 is connected to the connecting plate 26. The connecting plate 26 can be configured as an inclined plate with an inclination angle substantially the same as that of the guide tooth 25 (e.g., Figure 9 (The connecting plate 26 is located on the right side). Alternatively, the connecting plate 26 may include an inclined portion with an inclination angle substantially the same as that of the guide tooth 25 and a horizontal portion connected to the inclined portion. Alternatively, the connecting plate 26 may only include a horizontal portion (e.g., Figure 9 (Connecting plate 26 located on the left side).

[0049] The connecting plate 26 can close the side of the limiting groove 24 away from the folded edge to prevent the folded edge from being over-inserted into the limiting groove 24; it also makes it easier to reasonably set the number, position and tilt angle of the guide teeth 25 as needed so that the folded edge can be smoothly inserted into the limiting groove 24.

[0050] Of course, the connecting plate 26 may not be provided on the outer wall of the air outlet duct 23, and the guide tooth 25 may be directly connected to the outer wall of the air outlet duct 23.

[0051] In some exemplary embodiments, the length of the lower vent 111 is greater than the length of the lower air outlet 22. The top cover 1 also includes two fixing plates 14, such as... Figure 4 and Figure 10As shown. Two fixing plates 14 are respectively fixed to both ends of the lower vent 111 along its length and are fixedly connected to the flange edge 112 and the cover plate 11.

[0052] In this way, the two L-shaped plates (i.e., the two relatively spaced portions on both sides of the flange edge 112 along the width direction of the lower ventilation opening 111) can be connected by the fixing plate 14 and connected to the cover plate 11. This helps to reduce the risk of deformation of the flange edge 112 and the lower ventilation opening 111, and helps to improve the structural strength of the top cover 1 and reduce the risk of deformation of the top cover 1.

[0053] The two ends of the flange edge 112 along its length can be made relatively wider, such as... Figure 3 As shown, this increases the contact area with the fixing plate 14 and facilitates connection with the fixing plate 14 via fasteners, welding, or other methods. The fixing plate 14 can be configured as a stepped structure comprising three parts (e.g., Figure 10 As shown), the first part covers the flange edge 112, the third part covers the cover plate 11 and is connected to the cover plate 11 by fasteners, welding or other means, and the second part is connected between the first part and the third part.

[0054] The two fixing plates 14 can be the same size or different sizes, and can be adjusted reasonably according to the position and size of the lower air outlet 22.

[0055] like Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown in the embodiments, this application also provides a ducted air conditioner, including: the air outlet assembly of the ducted air conditioner as described in any of the above embodiments.

[0056] The ducted air conditioner provided in this application includes the air outlet component of any of the ducted air conditioners in the above embodiments, and therefore has all the above-mentioned beneficial effects, which will not be repeated here.

[0057] Understandably, during the pre-shipment installation process, the top cover 1 is the last to be installed and is located at the top, hence it is conventionally referred to as top cover 1. However, in post-shipment installation scenarios, the ducted air conditioner is concealed within the ceiling, and top cover 1 is located at the bottom. In this application, the directions of "lower ventilation opening 111" and "lower air outlet 22," as well as the vertical directions marked in the attached drawings, are based on the vertical direction of the ducted air conditioner when it is concealed within the ceiling after shipment. Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown.

[0058] In some exemplary embodiments, the housing 3 is provided with a side air outlet 31, such as Figure 5 As shown. The side air outlet 31 can be set to face forward to achieve the function of front air outlet.

[0059] In this way, the ducted air conditioner has two air outlets, which can be used for both front and bottom air outlets, enriching the air outlet modes of the ducted air conditioner and helping to optimize the user experience.
