The present invention will be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Referring to fig. 1 to 18, an air outlet structure 100 provided in an embodiment of the present invention includes an air outlet 10, at least two air guiding elements 20, and a driving mechanism 30.

Referring to fig. 1, the air outlet structure 100 in the present embodiment is described as being applied to a cabinet air conditioner, but in other embodiments, the air outlet structure 100 is not limited to be applied to other types of air conditioners, such as a wall-mounted air conditioner, a ceiling air conditioner, and the like. Wherein, each air guide 20 is rectangular shape, has length direction, and air conditioner 200 includes body 210, and when air-out structure 100 set up in air conditioner 200's body 210, can vertical setting, can follow the horizontally setting, or the slope sets up, and vertical direction and horizontal direction all are the setting of certain contained angle relatively promptly to realize the accent wind of different modes.

Each air guide 20 is used for adjusting the air flow direction of the air outlet 10, each air guide 20 comprises an arc-shaped surface 21 and a plane 22 along the thickness direction, the cross section of each air guide 20 along the thickness direction comprises an arc line 23 and a straight line 24 which are connected end to end, each air guide 20 is arranged at intervals, the plane 22 faces the plane 22, and the arc-shaped surface 21 faces the arc-shaped surface 21; the driving mechanism 30 is used for driving at least one wind guide 20 to rotate relative to the wind flow direction of the wind outlet 10.

In the air outlet structure 100, because each air guide 20 has the smooth arc-shaped surface 21, when the air current flows to the surface of the air guide 20, the air current flows along the surface of the arc-shaped surface 21 according to the coanda effect, the air current gradually changes the wind direction along the arc-shaped surface 21, the forced turning of the air current is reduced, the air guide comfort is better, and the wind feeling is softer; meanwhile, the driving mechanism 30 drives at least one of the wind guide members 20 to rotate in the wind flow direction of the wind outlet 10, so that the wind deflecting effect in different directions, that is, the wind gathering effect or the wind dispersing effect, is realized, and the requirements of different customers are met.

The rotation in this embodiment may not only mean driving the air guide 20 to rotate clockwise on the air outlet flow by a preset angle, but also drive the air guide 20 to rotate counterclockwise by a preset angle, and also may drive the air guide 20 to rotate 360 degrees on the air outlet flow, thereby bringing different air outlet effects.

The present invention is described by taking the way that the arc-shaped line 23 and the straight line 24 of each wind guide 20 mounted on the outlet 10 are the same, that is, each wind guide 20 has the same shape and structure, so that the wind guides 20 adopting the same structure are convenient for production and installation, and are convenient for selectively adjusting the positions of some wind guides 20 in different air outlet modes. In other embodiments, the structures of the air deflectors 20 may be different from each other, that is, each may have an arc line and a straight line with different lengths, or the straight lines have the same length but different arc line lengths; or the respective arcuate lines may have different central angle degrees, e.g., the central angle may be a major arc greater than 180 degrees; or the central angle may be a minor arc of less than 180 degrees.

In addition, in the present embodiment, the central angle of the arc line 23 of each wind guide 20 is less than or equal to 180 °, that is, the wind guide 20 is D-shaped or fan-shaped, so that the wind flow can flow along the surface of the arc surface 21, the coanda effect is achieved, the wind flow is smoothly changed, the wind feeling is soft, and the flow of the wind flow from the plane 22 side is not blocked.

In a specific embodiment of the present invention, the central angle of each wind guide 20 is 180 degrees, and is D-shaped, that is, each wind guide 20 has only one planar wind guide surface, so that the wind flow can flow along the surface of the arc-shaped surface 21, the flow direction of the wind flow is gradually changed, a gentle wind flow is obtained, and the wind flow can flow along another flat wind guide surface, and the arc-shaped wind guide surface and the planar wind guide surface cooperate to adjust the flow direction of the wind flow.

It can be understood that, when the central angle of the arc line 23 corresponds to 180 degrees, the arc line 23 of each air guide 20 may be an arc or an elliptical arc, and may be applied to different customer requirements for setting, so that the arc line 23 of the air guide 20 is set to be an arc or an elliptical arc, thereby achieving the effect of the windward bias in different ranges.

The following describes different combinations of the air guides 20, and it can be understood that the air guides 20 can obtain various air guide combinations through different pairing, combination and array manners to change the direction or characteristics of the air flow.

In an embodiment of the present invention, taking two air guiding members 20 as an example, the two air guiding members 20 form one air guiding member group 40, and the air guiding member groups 40 are arranged at intervals to realize different air outlet effects, and then, under the driving of the driving mechanism 30, the air guiding members 20 are driven to rotate, so as to realize different air deflection effects.

It can be understood that when two wind deflectors 20 form a wind deflector group 40, the flow field simulation in this manner, see fig. 3, can realize the self-excited forward stable diffusion flow by the plane 22 to the plane 22, as shown in fig. 2 for example; it is also possible that the arc-shaped surface 21 is opposite to the arc-shaped surface 21, for example, as shown in fig. 4, wherein the flow field simulation diagram in this manner refers to fig. 5, and the combination manner of this manner can also realize self-excited wind-adjusting type wind deflection.

In addition, please refer to fig. 2, taking the wind guide 20 shown in fig. 2 as an example, when the planes 22 of the two wind guide 20 in each group are combined toward the plane 22, a distance between a vertex of the arc-shaped surface 21 of one wind guide 20 and a vertex of the arc-shaped surface 21 of the wind guide 20 in an adjacent group is h, and a distance between a vertex of the arc-shaped surface 21 of the wind guide 20 and the plane 22 is s, where h is 2s, so that the air flow can be sufficiently far excited to diffuse and flow forward.

With reference to fig. 2, taking the plane 22 of each set of two air deflectors 20 facing the plane 22 as an example, the distance between the two air deflectors 20 in the set is a, and the distance between the arc-shaped surface 21 of the air deflector 20 located at the outermost side and the side wall 11 of the outlet 10 is b, where a is s, so that the air flow is more uniform by setting the values of a, b, and s to be the same. It can be understood that, in order to achieve different air flow effects, the numerical relationship among h, a, b, and s can be adjusted as needed, when it is needed to achieve a more concentrated effect of air flow, h is set to be a value greater than a and b, and at this time, the distance h between each two sets of air guide assemblies is greater, and the distance between each set of air guide assemblies 20 is smaller.

In addition, on the basis of fig. 4, the air guides 20 in each air guide group 40 may be arranged in a staggered manner, please refer to fig. 6, which is a staggered arrangement manner of the arc-shaped surface 21 and the two air guides 20 of the arc-shaped surface 21, so that the wind deflecting effect is achieved, and the wind flow can be steered at the same time, at this time, the flow field simulation diagram of the air guides 20 refers to fig. 7.

Referring to fig. 8 and 9, on the basis of the combination manner of the air guide assemblies 40 in fig. 2, that is, the two air guides 20 in each air guide assembly 40 are opposite to each other, at this time, the effect of deflecting the wind downward can also be achieved when the two air guides 20 in each air guide assembly 40 are arranged in a staggered manner, where fig. 9 is a simulation diagram of the flow field in the air guide assembly 40 in fig. 8.

It can be understood that, on the basis of the combination manner of the air guide assemblies 40 in fig. 2, that is, when two air guides 20 in each air guide assembly 40 are arranged in a plane-to-plane manner, and at this time, when two air guides 20 in each air guide assembly 40 are arranged in a staggered manner in another manner, the generated wind flow is deflected in the direction shown in fig. 10.

Here, the driving mechanism 30 in the present embodiment can obtain different forms of the windward deviation by driving the wind guide 20 to rotate by driving the wind guide 20 in different numbers and different positions, as described above with reference to the wind guide group 40 in fig. 2.

For example, referring to fig. 11, when one of the outermost wind guides 20 is driven to rotate, for example, to rotate in a direction approaching or separating from an adjacent wind guide 20, so as to achieve an air conditioning effect, in this embodiment, the rotation in the direction approaching the adjacent wind guide 20 is taken as an example, and at this time, due to the rotation of the outermost wind guide 20, a part of the wind flow is deflected downward.

It can be understood that when a plurality of air deflectors are combined, not only one air deflector 20 can be driven to rotate, but also one air deflector group 40 can be driven to rotate simultaneously, for example, one air deflector group 40 close to the side wall 11 of the air outlet 10 is driven to rotate, so as to achieve the effect of wind deflection in different directions, for example, please refer to fig. 12 and 13, so as to achieve different wind deflection effects.

It can be understood that when a plurality of air guide assemblies are combined, not only one air guide 20 can be driven to rotate, but also a plurality of air guide assemblies 40 can be simultaneously rotated, so that different wind biasing effects can be realized.

For example, referring to fig. 14 to 17, in order to simultaneously drive each air guide assembly 40 to rotate, for example, the driving mechanism 30 is used to drive the air guide assemblies 40 at the odd number positions to rotate in a first direction, and drive the air guide assemblies 40 at the even number positions to rotate in a second direction, where the first direction and the second direction are the same, referring to fig. 14 and 17, at this time, the effect of deflecting the wind in the same direction is achieved; referring to fig. 15 and 16, when the first direction is opposite to the second direction, the effect of deflecting wind in both the first direction and the second direction is achieved.

In addition, referring to fig. 18, not only every two wind guide members 20 may be combined, but also four wind guide members 20 may be combined, and when the four wind guide members 20 are combined into one wind guide member group 40, the driving mechanism 30 may be used to drive at least one wind guide member 20 located in the middle to rotate, as shown in fig. 18, to achieve the effect of partial downward wind deflection. In which one of the wind guides 20 in the intermediate position is driven to rotate as shown in fig. 18.

However, in comparison with the manner of driving the middle one air guide 20 to rotate in fig. 18 and the manner of driving both the second and fourth air guides 20 to rotate in fig. 8, only the wind flow deflection angle obtained by driving the middle one air guide 20 to rotate at this time is almost the same as the wind flow deflection angle obtained by driving both the second and fourth air guides 20 to rotate in fig. 8, and therefore, it is preferable to drive only one air guide 20 to rotate as in fig. 18 for simplicity and compactness of the installation structure of the entire air conditioner.

In addition, please refer to fig. 18, in this embodiment, the driving mechanism 30 drives the wind guide 20 to rotate by an angle θ smaller than or equal to 15 ° relative to the wind flow direction of the wind outlet 10, at this time, the generated wind flow deflection effect is the best, and after the rotation is larger than 15 °, the wind flow deflection effect is weakened. The deflection angle is set to suit various combinations of air guides 20.

In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the driving mechanism 30 drives the wind guiding member 20 to rotate by an angle θ of 10 ° relative to the wind flow direction of the wind outlet 10, where the deflection angle of the wind flow is most obvious. It will be appreciated that in other embodiments, the user may set the deflection angle as desired to achieve different directional deflection airflows.

In the present embodiment, the driving mechanism 30 may adopt a matching manner of a motor and a gear to drive or rotate the air guide 20.

Referring to fig. 1, the present invention further provides an air conditioner 200 in another embodiment, wherein the air conditioner 200 includes a main body 210 and the air outlet structure 100 disposed on the main body 210. The air conditioner 200 may be a wall-mounted air conditioner, a cabinet air conditioner, a ceiling air conditioner, or the like, but is not limited thereto.

In the air conditioner 200, because each air guide 20 in the air outlet structure 100 of the air conditioner 200 has the smooth arc-shaped surface 21, when the air current flows to the surface of the air guide 20, according to the coanda effect, the air current can flow along the surface of the arc-shaped surface 21, the air current gradually changes the wind direction along the arc-shaped surface 21, the forced turning of the air current is reduced, the air guide comfort is better, and the wind sense is softer; meanwhile, the driving mechanism 30 drives at least one of the wind guide members 20 to rotate in the wind flow direction of the wind outlet 10, so that the wind deflecting effect in different directions, that is, the wind gathering effect or the wind dispersing effect, is realized, and the requirements of different customers are met.
