Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air conditioning technology, and more specifically, to an air outlet component and an air conditioner. Background Technology

[0002] In a cabinet air conditioner, the air outlet assembly is the main component for airflow, and the up-and-down sweeping louvers and connecting rods within the air outlet assembly are the core moving parts that realize the "automatic up-and-down airflow guidance" function. They work closely together through a mechanical linkage structure to automatically adjust the airflow direction.

[0003] In some air outlet components of related technologies, the connecting rod and the upper and lower sweeping louvers are prone to detachment. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an air outlet assembly that can improve the connection strength between the connecting rod and the louver, and prevent the louver from easily detaching from the connecting rod.

[0005] The embodiments of this utility model can be implemented as follows: In a first aspect, this utility model provides an air outlet component, comprising: Air outlet frame; Multiple louvers are spaced apart along the vertical direction. Each louver has a rotating shaft at both ends along the axial direction that is rotatably connected to the air outlet frame. The louvers are provided with connecting parts, and connecting shafts are provided on both sides along the axial direction. The axial direction forms an angle with the vertical direction. The connecting rod includes a rod body and multiple mating parts spaced apart along the extension direction of the rod body. The multiple mating parts correspond one-to-one with multiple connecting parts. Each mating part includes two mating blocks spaced apart. Both mating blocks are provided with mating holes. The mating holes on the two mating blocks respectively mate with two connecting shafts on the connecting parts. The mating blocks can deform under the action of external force.

[0006] The above design improves the connection strength between the louver and the connecting rod, preventing them from easily detaching. Furthermore, the connecting part on the louver is confined between two mating blocks, which restrict axial movement of the connecting part, further preventing the louver from easily detaching from the connecting rod.

[0007] In an optional embodiment, a clearance notch is provided on the side of the mating block away from the rod body, and the diameter of the clearance notch gradually decreases in the direction close to the mating hole.

[0008] The above setup facilitates the insertion of the connecting shaft between the two mating blocks, thereby improving the assembly efficiency of the louver and the connecting rod.

[0009] In an optional embodiment, a guide portion is provided at the end of the connecting shaft away from the connecting portion, and the radial dimension of the guide portion gradually decreases in the direction away from the connecting portion.

[0010] The above settings facilitate the insertion of the connecting shaft into the mating hole, thereby improving the assembly efficiency of the louver and the connecting rod.

[0011] In an optional embodiment, the connecting part is provided with abutting protrusions on both sides along the axial direction, the connecting shaft is disposed on the abutting protrusions, the radial dimension of the abutting protrusions is larger than the radial dimension of the connecting shaft, and the abutting protrusions are used to abut with the mating block.

[0012] With the above configuration, after the connecting shaft of the connecting part on the louver and the mating block of the mating part on the connecting rod are assembled, the abutting protrusion on the connecting part abuts against the mating block 321, effectively restricting the axial movement of the connecting part. This prevents the louver from separating from the connecting rod.

[0013] In an optional embodiment, there are two connecting rods, and each louver is provided with a connecting part at both ends along the axial direction. Each louver is connected to the two connecting rods through the connecting shafts on the two connecting parts.

[0014] With the above configuration, the two connecting rods support the louvers at both ends in the axial direction, which can improve the smoothness of the operation of multiple louvers.

[0015] In an optional embodiment, the rotating shaft is integrated into the connecting part, and the rotating shaft is located outside the connecting part, with the axis of the rotating shaft parallel to the axis of the connecting shaft.

[0016] By integrating the pivot into the connecting part, the number of parts can be reduced, making the structure of the louver more compact.

[0017] In an optional embodiment, for any two mating blocks in a mating part, the mating hole in one of the mating blocks has a first flare at the end near the other mating block, and the diameter of the first flare gradually increases in the axial direction and in the direction near the other mating block. And / or, for any two mating blocks in a mating part, the mating hole in one of the mating blocks has a second flare at the end away from the other mating block, and the diameter of the second flare gradually decreases in the axial direction and towards the other mating block.

[0018] The first flare serves to guide the connecting shaft. The second flare reduces noise caused by the end of the connecting shaft colliding with the edge of the mating hole.

[0019] In an optional embodiment, the air outlet assembly also includes a top panel, with the air outlet frame integrally formed with the top panel.

[0020] The above settings can prevent condensation caused by air leakage at the gap between the top panel and the air outlet frame.

[0021] In an optional embodiment, the air outlet assembly also includes a top panel, and the air outlet frame is detachably connected to the top panel.

[0022] The above settings make it easy for users to assemble and disassemble the top panel and the air outlet frame.

[0023] Secondly, this utility model provides an air conditioner, including the air outlet component of any of the foregoing embodiments.

[0024] The beneficial effects provided by this utility model embodiment include: This utility model embodiment provides an air outlet assembly and an air conditioner. The air conditioner includes the aforementioned air outlet assembly, which includes an air outlet frame, multiple louvers spaced apart along the vertical direction, and a connecting rod. Each louver has a rotating shaft at both ends along the axial direction that is rotatably connected to the air outlet frame. The louver also has a connecting part, with connecting shafts on both sides along the axial direction.

[0032] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used only to distinguish descriptions and should not be interpreted as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0033] It should be noted that, where there is no conflict, the features in the embodiments of this utility model can be combined with each other.

[0034] The following describes in detail, with reference to the accompanying drawings, the specific structure of an air outlet component provided by this utility model and its corresponding technical effects.

[0035] It should be noted that the louvers in this embodiment can be understood as vertically sweeping louvers. The axis in this embodiment can be understood as the rotation axis of the louvers. The perpendicularity in this embodiment should not be limited to the strictly defined perpendicularity; as long as the two are approximately perpendicular, that is sufficient. Similarly, the parallelism in this embodiment should not be limited to the strictly defined parallelism; as long as the two are approximately parallel, that is sufficient.

[0036] Please refer to Figures 1-4 The present invention provides an air outlet assembly 1 including an air outlet frame 100, a plurality of louvers 200 spaced apart in a vertical direction, and a connecting rod 300. Each louver 200 has a rotating shaft 212 rotatably connected to the air outlet frame 100 at both ends along the axial direction. The louver 200 also has a connecting part 210, and a connecting shaft 211 is provided on both sides along the axial direction of the connecting part 210. The connecting rod 300 includes a rod body 310 and a plurality of mating parts 320 spaced apart along the extension direction of the rod body 310. The plurality of mating parts 320 are provided in a one-to-one correspondence with the plurality of connecting parts 210. The mating part 320 includes two mating blocks 321 spaced apart. Both mating blocks 321 are provided with mating holes 322. The mating holes 322 on the mating blocks 321 respectively mate with the two connecting shafts 211 on the connecting part 210. The mating blocks 321 can deform under the action of external force.

[0037] The axial direction forms an angle with the vertical direction; more specifically, the axial direction is perpendicular to the vertical direction. Understandably, the mating block 321 can be made of plastic or other materials with a certain degree of deformation capability, so that the connecting rod 300 can deform under external force when assembled with the louver 200, allowing the mating plate on the connecting rod 300 to assemble with the connecting shaft 211 on the louver 200.

[0038] In this embodiment, during installation, the two connecting shafts 211 of the connecting portion 210 on each louver 200 can deform the two mating blocks 321 on the mating portion 320 to move the two mating blocks 321 away from each other until the two connecting shafts 211 of the connecting portion 210 respectively engage with the mating holes 322 on the two mating blocks 321. This improves the connection strength between the louver 200 and the connecting rod 300, preventing the louver 200 from easily disengaging from the connecting rod 300. Furthermore, the connecting portion 210 on the louver 200 is confined between the two mating blocks 321, and the mating blocks 321 can restrict the axial movement of the connecting portion 210, preventing the louver 200 from easily disengaging from the connecting rod 300.

[0039] To facilitate the installation of the louver 200 and the connecting rod 300, a clearance notch 3211 is provided on the side of the mating block 321 away from the rod body 310. The diameter of the clearance notch 3211 gradually decreases in the direction close to the mating block 321. Understandably, the connecting part 210 on the louver 200 can extend from the clearance notch 3211 into the space between the two mating blocks 321, thereby causing the mating blocks 321 to deform so that the connecting shafts 211 on both sides of the connecting part 210 can be inserted into the mating holes 322 of the two mating blocks 321 respectively.

[0040] To further improve the assembly efficiency of the louver 200 and the connecting rod 300, a guide portion 2111 is provided at the end of the connecting shaft 211 away from the connecting part 210. In the direction away from the connecting part 210, the radial dimension of the guide portion 2111 gradually decreases. It can be understood that by providing the guide portion 2111, the assembly difficulty of the connecting shaft 211 and the mating block 321 can be reduced, making it easier for the connecting shaft 211 to mate with the mating hole 322 of the mating block 321.

[0041] To further improve the connection strength between the connecting rod 300 and the louver 200 and prevent the connecting shaft 211 on the louver 200 from easily coming off the connecting rod 300, the connecting part 210 on the louver 200 is provided with abutting protrusions 213 on both sides along the axial direction. The connecting shaft 211 is provided on the abutting protrusions 213. The radial dimension of the abutting protrusions 213 is larger than the radial dimension of the connecting shaft 211. The abutting protrusions 213 are used to abut against the mating block 321.

[0042] Understandably, after the connecting shaft 211 of the connecting part 210 on the louver 200 and the mating block 321 of the mating part 320 on the connecting rod 300 are assembled, the abutting protrusion 213 on the connecting part 210 abuts against the mating block 321, effectively restricting the axial movement of the connecting part 210. This prevents the louver 200 from easily disengaging from the connecting rod 300.

[0043] Please refer to Figures 4-6 In detail, in this embodiment, there are two connecting rods 300. Each louver 200 has a connecting portion 210 at both ends along the axial direction. Each louver 200 is connected to two connecting rods 300 via connecting shafts 211 on the two connecting portions 210. It can be understood that each louver 200 is connected to two connecting rods 300, and the two connecting rods 300 provide support to the louver 200 at both ends along the axial direction, which can improve the smoothness of operation of multiple louvers 200.

[0044] In this embodiment, the rotating shaft 212 is integrated into the connecting part 210, and the rotating shaft 212 is located on the outside of the connecting part 210. The outside of the connecting part 210 can be understood as the side away from the other connecting part 210. The axis of the rotating shaft 212 is parallel to the axis of the connecting shaft 211.

[0045] Understandably, integrating the pivot 212 into the connecting part 210 can reduce the number of parts and make the structure of the louver 200 more compact.

[0046] In this embodiment, in order to increase the connection strength of the connecting part 210, a plurality of reinforcing ribs 214 are provided on the connecting part 210. The plurality of reinforcing ribs 214 are arranged axially around the rotating shaft 212 to prevent the connecting part 210 from cracking when the driving component drives the rotating shaft 212 to rotate relative to the air outlet frame 100.

[0047] Please refer to Figure 4 as well as Figures 7-8 Optionally, in some embodiments, for any two mating blocks 321 in a mating part 320, the mating hole 322 in one of the mating blocks 321 has a first flared opening 3221 at one end near the other mating block 321, and the diameter of the first flared opening 3221 gradually increases in the axial direction and in the direction near the other mating block 321.

[0048] Understandably, the first flare 3221 is set at the assembly end of the mating hole 322. The assembly end can be understood as the end where the connecting shaft 211 initially extends. The radial dimension of the first flare 3221 is the largest in the direction close to the other opposite mating block 321. By setting the first flare 3221, the assembly difficulty of the connecting shaft 211 and the mating hole 322 can be reduced, so that the connecting shaft 211 can be more easily installed into the mating hole 322. In addition, the first flare 3221 can also play a guiding role for the connecting shaft 211.

[0049] Optionally, in some embodiments, the mating hole 322 in one of the mating blocks 321 has a second flare 3222 at the end away from the other mating block 321. The diameter of the second flare 3222 gradually decreases in the axial direction and towards the other mating block 321. That is, the radial dimension of the second flare 3222 is largest at the end away from the opposite mating block 321 in the axial direction. By setting the second flare 3222, the noise caused by the collision between the end of the connecting shaft 211 and the edge of the mating hole 322 can be reduced.

[0050] In this embodiment, the air outlet assembly 1 also includes an upper panel 400. It is understood that the air outlet frame 100 is located inside the upper panel 400. It is understood that the upper panel 400 is located at the top of the cabinet unit and covers the entire top area, extending from the front end to the rear to form the top appearance surface of the air conditioner cabinet unit. The air outlet frame 100 is generally located above the front side of the upper panel 400. Generally, the air outlet frame 100 protrudes from the front end of the upper panel 400 or is aligned with the front edge of the upper panel 400.

[0051] Optionally, in some embodiments, the upper panel 400 and the air outlet frame 100 are integrally formed, for example, the upper panel 400 and the air outlet frame 100 can be integrally formed by injection molding. This can effectively reduce the number of parts in the air outlet assembly 1, improve the efficiency of structural fabrication, and also avoid condensation caused by air leakage at the gap between the upper panel 400 and the air outlet frame 100.

[0052] Of course, in some other embodiments, the upper panel 400 and the air outlet frame 100 can also be detachably connected. For example, the upper panel 400 and the air outlet frame 100 can be detachably connected by screws and / or clips.

[0053] This utility model embodiment also provides an air conditioner, which includes the aforementioned air outlet assembly 1. Of course, the air conditioner also includes a heat exchanger, compressor, water tray, electrical control box, and other structures, which will not be described in detail here.

[0054] In summary, this utility model provides an air outlet assembly 1 and an air conditioner. The air conditioner includes the aforementioned air outlet assembly 1, which includes an air outlet frame 100, a plurality of louvers 200 spaced apart in the vertical direction, and a connecting rod 300. Each louver 200 has a rotating shaft 212 rotatably connected to the air outlet frame 100 at both ends along the axial direction. The louver 200 also has a connecting part 210, and connecting shafts 211 are provided on both sides along the axial direction of the connecting part 210. The connecting rod 300 includes a rod body 310 and a plurality of mating parts 320 spaced apart along the extension direction of the rod body 310. The plurality of mating parts 320 are provided in a one-to-one correspondence with the plurality of connecting parts 210. The mating part 320 includes two mating blocks 321 spaced apart. Both mating blocks 321 are provided with mating holes 322. The mating holes 322 on the mating blocks 321 respectively mate with the two connecting shafts 211 on the connecting part 210. The mating blocks 321 can deform under the action of external force. The two connecting shafts 211 on the louver 200 are respectively engaged with the mating holes 322 on the two mating blocks 321, which improves the connection strength between the louver 200 and the connecting rod 300 and can prevent the louver 200 from easily separating from the connecting rod 300.

[0055] The above description is only a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto.
