Air outlet assembly and air conditioner

By setting a labyrinth sealing structure and bending to block the gaps between the air guide plate and the air outlet frame, the condensation problem during air delivery by the air guide plate is solved, enabling long-distance air delivery while reducing noise and improving air conditioning comfort and production efficiency.

AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Traditional ducted air conditioners are prone to condensation when delivering air in a waterfall-like manner over long distances, and increasing the fan speed will increase noise. The gap between the air guide plate and the air outlet frame causes hot and cold air to converge.

Method used

The labyrinth seal structure is formed by the tongue structure on the air guide plate and the groove on the air outlet frame. The bending structure blocks the gaps, and the air guide surface is set on the air guide surface to guide the airflow. The flexible sealing layer enhances the sealing effect.

Benefits of technology

It effectively prevents condensation at the air guide plate pivot, improves air delivery distance and comfort, reduces noise, and reduces production costs and structural volume.

Abstract

Disclosed in the present disclosure are an air outlet assembly and an air conditioner. The air outlet assembly comprises: an air outlet frame, the air outlet frame being configured to be mounted on a preset structure, and the air outlet frame forming an air outlet; and a wind deflector, the wind deflector being rotatably connected to the air outlet frame, wherein the wind deflector is provided with a first mating structure at a rotation shaft, the air outlet frame is provided with a second mating structure at a position corresponding to the rotation shaft of the wind deflector, and when the wind deflector is in a position of opening the air outlet, the first mating structure mates with the second mating structure to form a labyrinth seal structure. The air outlet assembly and the air conditioner of the present disclosure effectively solve the problem that condensation is prone to form on a mating structure of a wind deflector in the related art.
