- At present, some of the cabinet-type air conditioners adopt a top air-outlet mode, that is, an air-outlet panel is disposed at the air conditioner top cover, and the air-outlet is outwardly ventilated. In order to increase the air supply range of the air conditioner and improve the cooling comfort, the air-outlet panel is usually disposed to have an ascending and descending structure with respect to the air conditioner top cover, so that the air-outlet panel can be ascended by a certain distance with respect to the top cover during the working process of the air conditioner, such that the air conditioner can supply airflow to a remote place.

When an element is considered to be "connected" to another element, it may be directly connected to the other element or there may also exist an intermediate element. In contrast, when an element is referred to as being "directly on" another element, there is no intermediate element. The terms "vertical," "horizontal," "left," "right," and the like as used herein are only for a purpose of illustration.
- The top air-outlet device provided by the disclosure can be applied to an air conditioner of a top air-outlet type. In order to increase an air supply range of the air conditioner and improve the cooling comfort, an air-outlet panel is usually disposed to have an ascending and descending structure with respect to an air conditioner top cover, and the air-outlet panel is provided with an air outlet. In the process of working of the air conditioner, the air-outlet panel is ascended by a certain distance with respect to the top cover, so that the air conditioner can supply airflow to a farther place through the air outlet. When the air conditioner does not work, the air-outlet panel is descended with respect to the top cover and can be accommodated inside the air conditioner after being in place. The disclosure is intended to solve the problem that when the air conditioner does not work, in the process that the air-outlet panel is descended and closed with the air conditioner top cover, the motion stroke of the air-outlet panel of the conventional air conditioner is fixed; and when the air-outlet panel is descended to a preset position and closed with the top cover, due to deformation of the air-outlet panel or the structure of the air conditioner top cover, a gap or uneven closure may occur after closing, which not only affects the appearance of the air conditioner, but also causes the external dust to enter the air conditioner and affect the normal operation of the air conditioner.
- As shown in
FIG. 1 , a top air-outlet device according to an embodiment of the present invention includes atop cover assembly 100, a top air-outlet assembly 200, adetection mechanism 300, anadjustment mechanism 400 and a controller. Thetop cover assembly 100 is configured to mount on a top portion of the air conditioner. The top air-outlet assembly 200 can be descended with respect to thetop cover assembly 100 such that an air outlet of the top air-outlet assembly 200 can be opened by thetop cover assembly 100 or closed by thetop cover assembly 100. In fact, the open and closed state of the air outlet is also the open or closed state of the top air-outlet assembly 200 with respect to thetop cover assembly 100. The ascending and descending motion of the top air-outlet assembly 200 with respect to thetop cover assembly 100 is controlled by a controller. Under normal conditions, the controller controls the top air-outlet assembly 200 to ascend with respect to thetop cover assembly 100 until the top air-outlet assembly 200 reaches a preset position (working position), the air outlet is opened and the air conditioner is in the operation of an air-out state. When there is no need to perform the air conditioning for the environment, the controller controls the top air-outlet assembly 200 to descend with respect to thetop cover assembly 100 until the top air-outlet assembly 200 reaches a preset position (a closed position), the air outlet is closed. At this time, in theory, the top air-outlet assembly 200 should be tightly closed with thetop cover assembly 100, and a distance between the working position and the closed position is the stroke required for the motion of the top air-outlet assembly 200. - The
adjustment mechanism 400 is configured to increase the above-mentioned stroke within an expanding-retracting range thereof, such that the top air-outlet assembly 200 can continue to descend for a distance after reaching the closed position, to reduce a clearance distance between the top air-outlet assembly 200 and thetop cover assembly 100, so as to solve the technical problem that there is a gap between the top air-outlet assembly 200 and thetop cover assembly 100 when the top air-outlet assembly 200 reaches the closed position. Furthermore, thedetection mechanism 300 is configured to detect when the top air-outlet assembly 200 reaches the closed position and send a signal to the controller when detecting that the top air-outlet assembly 200 reaches the closed position, to enable the controller to control the top air-outlet assembly 200 to continue to descend for a distance and then stop, in which the distance is determined by the expanding-retracting range of theadjustment mechanism 400. In fact, during the actual operation, it is only necessary to set a program for the controller to make the controller control the top air-outlet assembly 200 to continue moving for a while and then stop. - The
adjustment mechanism 400 may be disposed on the top air-outlet assembly 200 or thetop cover assembly 100, and thedetection mechanism 300 is oppositely disposed on thetop cover assembly 100 or the top air-outlet assembly 200, and the two can cooperate with each other as long as they can get into a touching state in the process of the ascending and descending motion of the top air-outlet assembly 200 with respect to thetop cover assembly 100. - As a preferred embodiment, the
adjustment mechanism 400 includes aguide pillar 410 and anelastic connector 420. The top air-outlet assembly 200 is provided with a mountingportion 210, theguide pillar 410 is slidingly disposed on the mountingportion 210; and theelastic connector 420 is disposed between theguide pillar 410 and the mountingportion 210. - The
elastic connector 420 may be a spring or a spring piece or the like. Theguide pillar 410 is mounted on the top air-outlet assembly 200 through the mountingportion 210, and is configured to touch thedetection mechanism 300. Preferably, thedetection mechanism 300 includes astroke switch 310 which is fixed on thetop cover assembly 100. In the process that the top air-outlet assembly 200 is descended and closed with thetop cover assembly 100, when theguide pillar 410 touches thestroke switch 310, thestroke switch 310 sends a signal to the controller to make the top air-outlet assembly 200 continue to descend, and the mountingportion 210 is also descended therewith. Because theguide pillar 410 can slide with respect to the mountingportion 210, thestroke switch 310 and theguide pillar 410 abut against each other, which does not affect the continuously descending of the top air-outlet assembly 200, and theguide post 410 is jacked upwards for a distance by thestroke switch 310, such that theelastic connector 420 disposed between theguide pillar 410 and the mountingportion 210 is compressed. Theelastic connector 420 is compressed and deformed, and the maximum elastic deformation amount of theelastic connector 420 and the length of theguide pillar 410 together determine the above-mentioned expanding-retracting range of theadjustment mechanism 400. - Specifically, the mounting
portion 210 includes a fixingblock 211. The fixingblock 211 is provided with a through hole for passing through by theguide pillar 410. Theguide pillar 410 has afirst end 411 and asecond end 412, and theguide pillar 410 is restricted by thefirst end 411 and thesecond end 412 from releasing from the through hole. Preferably, theelastic connector 420 is a spring which is sleeved on theguide pillar 410 between thefirst end 411 and the fixingblock 211, wherein the spring may be a helical spring, a compression spring, or the like. - Referring to
FIGS. 2 to 5 , seen from the direction of the diagram, thefirst end 411 is the lower end of theguide pillar 410, thesecond end 412 is the upper end of theguide pillar 410. In the process that the top air-outlet assembly 200 is descended and closed with thetop cover assembly 100, in the initial stage, under the action of the spring, the lower end of theguide pillar 410 protrudes from the lower end surface of the fixing block by a length L1, supposing that the spring is in an unstressed state at the moment, and the two ends of the spring are respectively abutted against theguide pillar 410 and the fixing block; then the lower end of theguide pillar 410 touches thestroke switch 310, and the spring is instantly compressed, such that the protruding length of the lower end of theguide pillar 410 from the lower end surface of the fixing block is shortened to L2; and meanwhile the controller may control the top air-outlet assembly 200 to continue descending, and the spring is continuously compressed, such that the protruding length of the lower end of theguide pillar 410 from the lower end surface of the fixing block is shortened to L3; supposing that the spring is already at its maximum deformation at this moment, a stroke range which can be adjusted by theadjustment mechanism 400 is 0 to L, where L = L1 - L3. - Furthermore, the
adjustment mechanism 400 further includes ascrew 430, and thescrew 430 constitutes the above-mentionedsecond end 412. Theguide pillar 410 is provided with a screw hole cooperating with thescrew 430, and is fixed in the screw hole through thescrew 430, thus the mounting and disassembly of theguide pillar 410 and the fixing block may be convenient, so that it is possible to replace with aguide pillar 410 having a different length or replace with a spring having a different deformation degree according to different requirements of the stroke, so as to achieve the purpose of adjusting different range of the stroke. - In other embodiments, the mounting
portion 210 may be a slot, and one end of theguide pillar 410 is fixed in the slot through theelastic connector 420, and the other end is a free end which can be extended or retracted with respect to the slot. - In other embodiments, the
detection mechanism 300 may include a pressure sensor electrically connected to the controller. Thetop cover assembly 100 is provided with a bump configured to touch theadjustment mechanism 400, and the pressure sensor is disposed at a position where the bump touches theadjustment mechanism 400. When the bump touches theadjustment mechanism 400, the pressure sensor generates a pressure signal and feeds it back to the controller, and the controller controls the top air-outlet mechanism to continue moving for a preset distance. - Referring to
FIG. 1 andFIG. 9 , as a preferred embodiment, the top air-outlet assembly 200 includes asupport frame 220, and theadjustment mechanism 400 is disposed on thesupport frame 220. Thetop cover assembly 100 includes a fixingbracket 110, and thedetection mechanism 300 is disposed on the fixingbracket 110. Furthermore, the top air-outlet assembly 200 further includes an air-outlet panel 230. Thetop cover assembly 100 further includes a sealingcover 120. The sealingcover 120 is annular, and the air-outlet panel 230 has a cylindrical shape. The sealingcover 120 is configured to sleeve outside the air-outlet panel. When the air outlet of the top air-outlet assembly 200 is closed by thetop cover assembly 100, the edge of the upper end surface of the air-outlet panel 230 can be tightly closed with the upper edge of the sealingcover 120. - The upper end surface of the air-
outlet panel 230 has an arc shape, and the distance from the edge of the upper end surface of the air-outlet panel 230 to thetop cover assembly 100 is varying from small to large. Referring toFIG. 9 , the side wall of the air-outlet panel 230 is low on one side and high on the other side, and the upper end surface has a convexly arc shape to cover the upper edge of the side wall, and the outer shape of the sealingcover 120 is adapted to the outer shape of the air-outlet panel 230. - Referring to
FIG. 6 , furthermore, the upper edge of the sealingcover 120 has a shape of a bell mouth, and the upper end side wall of the air-outlet panel 230 can be adapted to the upper edge of the sealingcover 120, thereby increasing the contact area when they are closed, such that the closing is more tightly. - Referring to
FIG. 6 to FIG. 8 , specifically, the air-outlet panel 230 is fixed on thesupport frame 220, the sealingcover 120 is fixed on thetop cover assembly 100, and thesupport frame 220 can be ascended and descended with respective to the fixingframe 110, such that the air-outlet panel 230 can move up and down with respect to the sealingcover 120, so as to make the air-outlet panel 230 have an open and closed state with respect to the sealingcover 120. When the air-outlet panel 230 is ascended to the working position, as shown inFIG. 6 , the air conditioner blows out airflow through the air outlet on the air-outlet panel 230; and when the air-outlet panel 230 is lowered to the closed position, as shown inFIG. 7 , there is a gap between the air-outlet panel 230 and the sealingcover 120 at this moment. Under the cooperation of theadjustment mechanism 400 and thedetection mechanism 300, the air-outlet panel 230 can continue to descend a distance, as shown inFIG. 8 , at this moment the air-outlet panel 230 is tightly closed with the sealingcover 120 seamlessly. - As a preferred embodiment, the top air-outlet device further includes a power source and a transmission mechanism. The power source is electrically connected to the controller; the power source is disposed on the
top cover assembly 100, and the power source drives the top air-outlet assembly 200 to move with respect to thetop cover assembly 100 through the transmission mechanism. - The power source may be a motor or the like, and the controller controls the move or stop of the top air-
outlet assembly 200 with respect to thetop cover assembly 100 through controlling the operation or stop of the motor. - Specifically, the transmission mechanism includes a gear and a rack. The gear is disposed on an output shaft of the motor, and the rack is disposed on the top air-
outlet assembly 200. The motor drives the gear to do reciprocating motion to drive the rack to do reciprocating motion, such that the top air-outlet assembly 200 can do ascending and descending motion with respect to thetop cover assembly 100. - The embodiment of the invention further provides an air conditioner including the air-outlet device as described above, so that the air-outlet panel and the top cover of the air conditioner can be closed tightly, not only having good appearance, but also preventing the dust and the like from entering the air conditioner.
