Detailed Description
First, it should be understood by those skilled in the art that these embodiments are merely for explaining the technical principles of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. And can be adjusted as needed by those skilled in the art to suit particular applications.
Next, it should be noted that in the description of the present invention, the terms of direction or positional relationship indicated by the terms "inside", "outside", and the like are based on the direction or positional relationship shown in the drawings, which are only for convenience of description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or member must have a specific orientation, be constructed in a specific orientation, and operate, and thus, should not be construed as limiting the present invention.
Furthermore, it should be noted that, in the description of the present invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified or limited, the terms "connected" and "connected" should be interpreted broadly, e.g., as being fixedly connected, detachably connected, or integrally connected; may be a mechanical connection; the two components can be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, and the two components can be communicated with each other. The specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood by those skilled in the art according to specific situations.
In the related art, a vertical swing blade is arranged at an air outlet; the vertical swing blade comprises a swing blade body and two connecting shafts which are coaxially arranged; the swing blade body is in a grid shape and is used for changing the direction of air flowing out of the air outlet; the two connecting shafts are respectively arranged at two opposite ends of the swinging vane body, the first ends of the connecting shafts are tightly connected with the swinging vane body, and the second ends of the connecting shafts are rotatably connected with the front panel assembly used for the cabinet air conditioner at the air outlet; the axis of the connecting shaft is positioned in the middle of the swinging vane body along the width direction of the swinging vane body; when the wind direction adjusting device is used, one of the connecting shafts is tightly connected with the output shaft of the swing blade motor, so that the angle of the vertical swing blade can be adjusted, and the wind direction can be adjusted.
However, the air conditioner using the grid-shaped vertical swing blade results in a short air supply distance.
Through careful analysis, the inventors of the present disclosure found that the above problem occurs because the air generated by the indoor unit is in a divergent state when being blown out from the grille-shaped vertical swing vane, and the vertical cross-sectional area of the outlet port is not changed no matter where the vertical swing vane rotates, that is, the initial speed of the air blown out from the outlet port is constant, thereby reducing the air supply distance of the air conditioner.
In view of the above problems, the inventors of the present disclosure provide a solution capable of adjusting the size of the air outlet, so as to adjust the size of the air outlet to be small when there is a long-distance air supply requirement, thereby increasing the initial speed of the air blown out from the air outlet, i.e., converging the air blown out from the air outlet, so that the air can be blown farther, and further increasing the air supply distance of the air conditioner.
Specifically, the present disclosure provides a front panel assembly, including air-out casing and aviation baffle. Wherein, the air outlet shell is provided with an opening; the air deflector is arranged at the opening and used for shielding the opening; the air outlet shell and the air deflector jointly define an air outlet of the cabinet air conditioner; the air deflector can rotate around a rotation axis parallel to the vertical central line of the opening to change the size of the air outlet, so that the air blown out from the air outlet is converged when the air is supplied for a long distance, and the air supply distance is increased.
The following describes a front panel assembly for a cabinet air conditioner and a preferred embodiment of the air conditioner according to the present invention with reference to specific embodiments.
Fig. 1 is a schematic view of the use of the front panel assembly of the present embodiment.
As shown in fig. 1, the present embodiment provides a front panel assembly for a cabinet air conditioner, which includes an air outlet casing 10 and an air deflector 20.
The outlet casing 10 is provided with an opening 14, and the opening 14 is used for allowing the wind generated by the indoor unit to flow into the outdoor environment.
The air deflector 20 is disposed at the opening 14 and serves to shield the opening 14; the air outlet casing 10 and the air deflector 20 together define an air outlet of the cabinet air conditioner. The air deflector 20 is rotatable about an axis of rotation 21 parallel to the vertical centre line of the opening 14 to vary the size of the outlet opening and thereby the initial velocity of the wind.
The air deflection plate 20 is arranged at the opening 14, i.e. the air deflection plate 20 may be arranged inside the opening 14 or the air deflection plate 20 may be arranged outside the opening 14.
The air deflector 20 shields the opening 14, which can be understood as that the air deflector 20 partially shields the opening 14 or completely shields the opening 14, wherein when the air deflector 20 completely shields the opening 14, the indoor unit does not need to be provided with a guide plate, and the air deflector 20 itself can have a shielding effect of the guide plate, so as to improve the beauty of the indoor unit.
The air deflector 20 is matched with the air outlet casing 10, so that the size of the opening 14 can be changed, the size of the air outlet can be changed, and further, when air is supplied for a long distance, the air blown out from the air outlet can be converged, so that all the air is blown farther towards a target direction, and the air supply distance of the air conditioner is increased.
FIG. 2 is a rear view of the front panel assembly of the present embodiment; fig. 3 is a sectional view taken along the line a-a in fig. 2.
As shown in fig. 3 and 2, in a preferred embodiment, a linkage mechanism 30 is also included. The link mechanism 30 is mounted on the air outlet casing 10 and is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft 21 of the air deflector 20.
Wherein the air deflector 20 is arranged in the opening 14, the compactness of the front panel assembly may be improved.
The link mechanism 30 is used for driving the rotating shaft 21 of the air deflector 20 to move relative to the opening 14, so that the air deflector 20 extends out of the opening 14 or retracts into the opening 14, thereby avoiding interference between the air deflector 20 and parts in the opening 14 and enlarging the rotating angle of the air deflector 20.
Because the distance between the parts in the opening 14 and the air deflector 20 is small, the air deflector 20 collides with the parts in the opening 14 when rotating in the opening 14, so that the rotation angle of the air deflector 20 is not a predetermined angle, that is, the size of the air outlet is not a predetermined size, and the wind aggregation effect is reduced. Therefore, the air deflector 20 can be protruded out of the opening 14 through the link mechanism 30 to increase a rotation space of the air deflector 20.
As shown in fig. 3, the linkage 30 optionally includes a connecting rod 31 and at least one hinge 32. Wherein, the connecting rod 31 is installed on the air outlet casing 10.
The hinge 32 is sleeved on the connecting rod 31 and is tightly connected with the connecting rod 31, and one end of the hinge 32 is hinged with the air deflector 20.
The other end of the connecting rod 31 or the hinge 32 is used for driving connection with the driving mechanism, so that the rotating shaft 21 of the air deflector 20 moves relative to the opening 14.
The connecting rod 31 and the air outlet casing 10 should be connected in a rotatable manner, so that under the action of the driving mechanism, the connecting rod 31 or the hinge 32 can rotate around the axis of rotation 21 parallel to the vertical center of the opening 14, and further, the rotating shaft 21 of the air deflector 20 is driven to rotate around the connecting rod 31.
One end of the hinge 32 is hinged to the rotating shaft 21 of the air deflector 20, so that the air deflector 20 can rotate around the rotating shaft 21 after extending out of the opening 14, that is, the rotating shaft 21 of the air deflector 20 coincides with the hinge center line of the hinge 32 and the rotating shaft 21 of the air deflector 20.
The number of the hinges 32 may be determined according to the hinge position between the air deflector 20 and the air outlet casing 10, for example, when the middle portion of the air deflector 20 is rotatably connected to the air outlet casing 10, only one hinge 32 may be provided.
Alternatively, in order to improve the stability of the movement of the air deflector 20 relative to the opening 14, a plurality of hinges 32 may be provided and the hinges 32 may be spaced apart.
Fig. 4 is a schematic view of the linkage mechanism and the air deflector according to the embodiment.
As shown in fig. 4, illustratively, the hinges 32 include a top hinge 321 and a bottom hinge 322. The top hinge 321 is sleeved on the top of the connecting rod 31, and the bottom hinge 322 is sleeved on the bottom of the connecting rod 31, so that the stability of the air deflector 20 during moving or rotating can be improved.
The top hinge 321 or the bottom hinge 322 may be in transmission connection with a driving mechanism, so as to drive the rotating shaft 21 of the air deflector 20 to move relative to the opening 14, and further, the air deflector 20 extends out of the opening 14 or retracts into the opening 14.
When the air deflector 20 is rotatably connected to the outlet casing 10 through the top hinge 321 and the bottom hinge 322, the driving mechanism may employ a rotating motor. Wherein, the axis of the output shaft of the rotating motor can be overlapped with the axis of the connecting rod 31, so the arrangement can reduce the installation space required by the driving mechanism and provide the space utilization rate inside the indoor unit. For example, the rotating motor may be mounted on the top hinge 321 or the bottom hinge 322.
Illustratively, the rotating motor is installed on the top hinge member 321, and the axis of the rotating motor coincides with the axis of the connecting rod 31, a first clamping hole for inserting the output shaft of the rotating motor is formed in the top hinge member 321, the cross section of the output shaft of the rotating motor is polygonal, and the first clamping hole is a polygonal hole, so that the output shaft of the rotating motor is clamped with the top hinge member 321, and then the movable connecting column and the bottom hinge member 322 are driven to rotate.
Fig. 5 is a three-dimensional view of the top hinge of the present embodiment.
As shown in fig. 5, optionally, the top hinge 321 includes a first main body portion 3211, a locking portion 3212 and a first through hole 3213. The first through hole 3213 penetrates through a first end of the first body portion 3211 and is used for the rotation shaft 21 of the air deflector 20 to pass through.
The locking portion 3212 is disposed near the first through hole 3213 and fixes the driving motor fastened to the rotating shaft 21 of the air deflector 20.
The second end of the first body portion 3211 is fastened to the connecting rod 31.
The locking portion 3212 is used to fix the driving motor and move the air deflector 20 relative to the opening 14, for example, the locking portion 3212 may be a threaded stud with a threaded hole, and the housing of the driving motor is screwed with the locking portion 3212; or, the locking portion 3212 includes two locking rings symmetrically disposed about the axis of the first through hole 3213, and the locking rings are used to engage with locking protrusions on the housing of the driving motor to fix the driving motor.
The first body portion 3211 may have a rod-like structure or a plate-like structure. The first body portion 3211 pushes the rotating shaft 21 of the air deflector 20 to move relative to the opening 14.
The first main body portion 3211 and the locking portion 3212 may be integrally formed, and thus, the connection strength between the two portions may be improved and the manufacturing difficulty of the top hinge member 321 may be reduced, for example, the top hinge member 321 is manufactured by an injection molding process.
Fig. 6 is a three-dimensional view of the bottom hinge of the present embodiment.
As shown in fig. 6, optionally, the bottom hinge 322 includes a second body portion 3221 and a spindle portion 3222. Wherein, the second end of the second main body portion 3221 is fastened and connected with the connecting rod 31.
The rotating shaft portion 3222 is disposed at a first end of the second body portion 3221 and is fixedly connected to the second body portion 3221, and the rotating shaft portion 3222 is rotatably connected to the connecting plate 22 of the wind deflector 20.
The second body portion 3221 may be a rod-shaped structure or a plate-shaped structure. The second body portion 3221 is used for pushing the rotating shaft portion 3222 to move, so as to push the air deflector 20 to move relative to the opening 14.
The second body portion 3221 and the rotating shaft portion 3222 may be an integral structure, which not only reduces the manufacturing difficulty of the bottom hinge 322, but also improves the connection strength between the two, for example, the bottom hinge 322 is manufactured by an injection molding process.
Fig. 7 is a three-dimensional view of the air deflection plate of the present embodiment.
As shown in fig. 7, the connecting plate 22 of the wind deflector 20 is provided with a connecting gap for the rotating shaft portion 3222 to pass through, such arrangement can improve the assembly efficiency of the rotating shaft portion 3222 and the connecting plate 22, for example, the connecting plate 22 of the wind deflector 20 includes a first flat plate portion and an unclosed annular portion, which are coplanar, and the cross section of the annular portion is an unclosed circular shape, thereby forming the above-mentioned connecting gap. During assembly, the rotating shaft portion 3222 is directly inserted into the connecting notch.
In order to avoid the overlarge contact area between the annular portion and the second main body portion 3221 and the overlarge friction force between the annular portion and the second main body portion 3221, the annular portion includes a first circular ring segment and a second circular ring segment which are coaxially disposed, wherein an outer diameter of the second circular ring segment is smaller than an outer diameter of the first circular ring segment, and the second circular ring segment abuts against the second main body portion 3221.
In order to avoid the accidental separation of the rotating shaft portion 3222 from the connecting plate 22 of the air deflector 20, the rotating shaft portion 3222 includes a rotating shaft section and a plate-shaped limiting section. The limiting section is arranged at one end of the rotating shaft section and is used for being in contact with the top surface of the annular part. The other end of the shaft segment is fixedly connected to the second body portion 3221.
Illustratively, the limiting section is a polygonal plate, and the limiting section and the rotating shaft section are integrated, so that the manufacturing efficiency of the rotating shaft portion 3222 can be improved, for example, by integrally molding through an injection molding process.
The connecting rod 31 can be fastened and connected with the hinge 32 by means of screw connection or clamping, for example, the connecting rod 31 is clamped and connected with the hinge 32, and thus, the assembly efficiency of the connecting rod 31 and the hinge 32 can be improved.
As shown in fig. 5 or 6, optionally, the cross section of the connecting rod 31 is polygonal, the hinge 32 includes a plate-shaped main body portion, a sleeving hole 323 for the connecting rod 31 to pass through is formed on the plate-shaped main body portion, and the sleeving hole 323 is a polygonal hole. The arrangement is such that the connecting rod 31 is engaged with the hinge 32, so that the connecting rod 31 can rotate the hinge 32 or the hinge 32 rotates the connecting rod 31. For example, the cross section of the connecting rod 31 includes an arc side and a straight side, both ends of the straight side are respectively fastened and connected with both ends of the arc side, and the cross section of the sheathing hole 323 is the same as the cross section of the connecting rod 31, so as to ensure that the connecting rod 31 is clamped with the hinge member 32.
As shown in fig. 5, in order to increase the contact area between the connecting rod 31 and the hinge 32, a tubular portion may extend from the bottom surface of the plate-shaped main body portion, the axis of the tubular portion may overlap with the axis of the fitting hole 323, and the inner hole of the tubular portion may have the same shape as the fitting hole 323.
The rotating shaft 21 of the air deflector 20 can be respectively clamped with the air deflector 20 and the rotating motor, and the assembling efficiency of the air deflector 20, the rotating shaft 21 of the air deflector 20 and the output shaft of the rotating motor can be improved.
Fig. 8 is a three-dimensional view of the chuck shaft of the present embodiment.
