When the air conditioner device is running normally, the grille moves to the left and right to guide air. However, since only the grille on the air-conditioning air outlet panel can output air and blown air is "nnatural", "too hard", "too cold" or "too hot", the users' experience is poor in comfort.
  • In order to improve the comfort of users, the technicians have improved the above air-conditioning air outlet panel. The improved solution is as shown in Fig. 3 and Fig. 4. The air-conditioning air outlet panel 11 is provided with a grille area, a micro-pore area and a closed area 113. The grille area is provided with the air outlet grille 111. The micro-pore area is provided with a plurality of micro-pores 112, which can disperse concentrated airflow into a plurality of fine airflows, and decompose strong wind into non-sense gentle breeze, thereby avoiding direct blowing to a human body. Users can freely select an air outlet mode as needed. Specifically, when the air conditioner device is in a turn-off state, the air-conditioning air outlet panel is located at a first position, that is, the closed area 113 is exposed from the opening of the decorative panel 12, and the grille area 112 and the micro-pore area 113 are respectively shielded by the decorative panel 12. When the air conditioner device is in a working state of grille air outlet, the air-conditioning air outlet panel 11 is located at a second position, that is, the grille area 112 is exposed from the opening of the decorative panel 12, and the closed area 113 and the micro-pore area 112 are respectively shielded by the decorative panel. When the air conditioner device is in a working state of micro-pore air outlet, the air-conditioning air outlet panel 11 is located at a third position, that is, the micro-pore area 113 is exposed from the opening of the decorative panel 12, and the grille area 112 and the closed area 113 are respectively shielded by the decorative panel 12.
  • However, the inventors have found that the above-mentioned improved technology has at least the following technical problems: since the improved air-conditioning air outlet panel has both the grille area and the micro-pore area, as well as the closed area for ensuring the appearance after closing, so that the air-conditioning air outlet panel is too large, which leads to an excessive moving area of the air-conditioning air outlet panel, and is not convenient for the overall design of the air conditioner device.
  • The patent document CN106288274 A discloses an air conditioner device according to the preamble of claim 1, with an air outlet panel including a plate body, a surface of the plate body is divided into a grille region, a micropore region and a closed region.

    Detailed Description of the Embodiments
  • To further explain the technical means and effects of the invention for achieving the intended purpose of the invention, said invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments. The particular features, structures, or characteristics of one or more embodiments can be combined in any suitable form, within the limits of claim 1.
  • Embodiment 1
  • The present embodiment provides an air-conditioning air outlet panel. The air-conditioning air outlet panel includes a plate body and a driving mechanism for driving the plate body to move. As shown in Fig. 5 to Fig. 7, the plate body includes a first plate body 21, a second plate body 22, and a third plate body 23. The first plate body 21 is provided with an air outlet grille 211. The second plate body 22 is provided with a plurality of air outlet micro-pores. The third plate body 23 is provided with a closed area, the surface of the closed area being a closed surface. Hereby, at least two plate bodies of the first plate body 21, the second plate body 22 and the third plate body 23 are overlapped to reduce a moving area of the entire plate body of the air-conditioning air outlet panel. The driving mechanism drives the plate body to move and is configured to expose the air outlet grille 211 on the first plate body 21, the air outlet micro-pores in the second plate body 22 and the closed area on the third plate body 23 at an opening 31 of a decorative panel 3 of an air conditioner device respectively, so as to enable the air conditioner device to be in different working states.
  • In the existing air-conditioning air outlet panel as shown in Figs. 3 and 4, if the sizes of the grille area, the micro-pore area and the closed area are the same, when switching among a micro-pore air outlet state, a grille micro-pore air outlet state and a closed state of the air conditioner device is satisfied, a moving area of the entire air-conditioning air outlet panel is at least five times the grille area. Therefore, the moving area of the entire air-conditioning air outlet panel is larger, which does not facilitate the overall design.
  • Compared with the air-conditioning air outlet panel shown in Figs. 3 and 4, at least two plate bodies of the first plate body 21, the second plate body 22 and the third plate body 23 in the air-conditioning air outlet panel provided by the present embodiment are overlapped, and during the switching of an air-conditioning state, at least two plate bodies are overlapped. Compared with the moving area of the air-conditioning air outlet panel shown in Figs. 3 and 4, such arrangement can reduce the moving area occupied by at least one plate body. Therefore, according to the air-conditioning air outlet panel provided by the present embodiment, a user can select an air outlet mode as needed, so that the comfort of the user is improved. Meanwhile, the entire moving area of the air-conditioning air outlet panel is smaller, which facilitates the overall design.
  • Embodiment 2
  • In an exemplary embodiment, the present embodiment provides an air-conditioning air outlet panel. Compared with the embodiment 1, two plate bodies of a first plate body, a second plate body and a third plate body in an air conditioner device of the present embodiment are overlapped, and a remaining plate body of the first plate body, the second plate body and the third plate body and one of the two plate bodies that are overlapped are of an integrated structure.
  • In the present embodiment, by such arrangement, when the air-conditioning air outlet panel moves, two plate bodies that are overlapped are overlapped to reduce a moving area of the air-conditioning air outlet panel. In addition, the remaining plate body of the first plate body, the second plate body and the third plate body and one of the two plate bodies that are overlapped are of an integrated structure, mainly achieving the purposes of facilitating the driving mechanism to drive the plate body to move and facilitating the design of the driving mechanism.
  • In addition, there are many design solutions of the present embodiment, and several preferred implementation solutions are listed here, as follows:
    The first solution: As shown in Fig. 5 to Fig. 7, the second plate body 22 and the third plate body 23 are overlapped, and the second plate body 22 and the first plate body 21 are of an integrated structure. Or, the first plate body and the third plate body are overlapped, and the second plate body and the first plate body are of an integrated structure. The solution is a preferred implementation solution.
  • The second solution: The first plate body and the second plate body are overlapped, and the third plate body and the first plate body are of an integrated structure. Or, the first plate body and the second plate body are overlapped, and the third plate body and the second plate body are of an integrated structure.
  • The third solution: The second plate body and the third plate body are overlapped, and the first plate body and the third plate body are of an integrated structure; or, the first plate body and the third plate body are overlapped, and the second plate body and the third plate body are of an integrated structure.
  • Embodiment 3
  • In an exemplary embodiment, the present embodiment provides an air-conditioning air outlet panel. Compared with Embodiment 2, the air-conditioning air outlet panel in the present embodiment further improves the first solution in Embodiment 2 as follows.
  • As shown in Fig. 5 to Fig. 7, the situation that the second plate body 22 and the third plate body 23 are overlapped, and the second plate body 22 and the first plate body 21 are of an integrated structure in the first solution of Embodiment 2 is taken as an example herein for the following detailed description: the first plate body 21 and the second plate body 22 in the air-conditioning air outlet panel of the present embodiment form a stepped structure, and the stepped structure is a integrated plate body structure, wherein the first plate body 21 is one step of the stepped structure, and the second plate body 22 is another step of the stepped structure. Moreover, the first plate body 21 is disposed close to the decorative panel 3 relative to the second plate body 22, and the second plate body 22 is disposed away from the decorative panel relative to the first plate body 21. In an exemplary embodiment, the second plate body 22 is located at a side, away from the decorative panel, of the third plate body 23. In an exemplary embodiment, a side, close to the decorative panel 3, of the third plate body 23 is flush with a side, close to the decorative panel 3, of the first plate body 21.
  • In the present embodiment, the above improved air-conditioning air outlet panel is applied to an air conditioner device: when the air conditioner device is in a turn-off state, as shown in Fig. 7, a closed area on the third plate body 23 of the air-conditioning air outlet panel is exposed at an opening 31 of the decorative panel 3 of the air conditioner device. At this time, the second plate body 22 and the third plate body 23 are overlapped, and the second plate body 22 is located at a side, away from the decorative panel 3, of the third plate body 23. When the air conditioner device is switched from the turn-off state to a micro-pore air outlet state, as shown in Fig. 6 and Fig. 7, only the driving mechanism drives the third plate body 23 to move toward the side away from the first plate body 21 (moving rightward). Therefore, the second plate body 22 is not overlapped with the third plate body 23. At this time, the air outlet micro-pores of the second plate body 22 are exposed at the opening 31 of the decorative panel 3 of the air conditioner device. When the air conditioner device is switched from the turn-off state to a grille air outlet state, as shown in Fig. 5 and Fig. 7, only the driving mechanism drives the entire air-conditioning air outlet panel to move rightward. Therefore, the air outlet grille on the first plate body 21 is exposed at the opening 31 of the decorative panel 3 of the air conditioner device. At this time, the appearance of the air conditioner device is as shown in Fig. 8. When the air conditioner device is switched from the micro-pore air outlet state to the grille air outlet state, as shown in Fig. 5 and Fig. 6, only the driving mechanism drives the first plate body 21 and the second plate body 22 to move toward the third plate body 23 (moving rightward). Therefore, the second plate body 22 and the third plate body 23 are overlapped. At this time, the air outlet grille on the first plate body 21 is exposed at the opening 31 of the decorative panel 3 of the air conditioner device. When the air conditioner device is switched from the grille air outlet state to the micro-pore air outlet state, as shown in Fig. 5 and Fig. 6, only the driving mechanism drives the first plate body 21 and the second plate body 22 to move away from the third plate body 23 (moving leftward). Therefore, the second plate body 22 and the third plate body 23 are not overlapped. At this time, the air outlet micro-pores in the second plate body 22 are exposed at the opening 31 of the decorative panel 3 on the air conditioner device.
  • According to the switching process of the air-conditioning air outlet panel in different working states of the air conditioner device, the entire moving area of the air-conditioning air outlet panel in the present embodiment is only an area occupied when the first plate body, the second board body and the third board body are not overlapped. Compared with the moving area of the air-conditioning air outlet panel shown in Fig. 3 and Fig. 4, the moving area of the air-conditioning air outlet panel in the present embodiment is smaller than the moving area occupied by two plate bodies. Therefore, the moving area of the air-conditioning air outlet panel of the present embodiment is smaller, which facilitates the overall design.
  • For another situation that the first plate body and the third plate body are overlapped, and the second plate body and the first plate body are of an integrated structure in the first solution of Embodiment 2, the above related improvement may be performed: the first plate body and the second plate body form a stepped structure, and the stepped structure is a integrated plate body structure, wherein the first plate body is one step of the stepped structure, and the second plate body is another step of the stepped structure. Moreover, the first plate body is disposed away from the decorative panel relative to the second plate body, and the second plate body is disposed close to the decorative panel relative to the first plate body. In an exemplary embodiment, the first plate body is located at a side, away from the decorative panel, of the third plate body. In an exemplary embodiment, a side, close to the decorative panel, of the third plate body is flush with a side, close to the decorative panel, of the second plate body. Similarly, when the improved air-conditioning air outlet panel is applied to the air conditioner device, during the switching of the turn-off state, the grille air outlet state and the micro-pore air outlet state of the air conditioner device, the movement process of the air-conditioning air outlet panel is similar to the above situation in the present embodiment, and will not be repeated here. Similarly, the entire moving area of the improved air-conditioning air outlet panel is also an area occupied when the first board body, the second board body and the third board body are not overlapped.
  • Here, the solutions to improve the two situations of the first solution in Embodiment 2 in the present embodiment are both preferred solutions.
  • Embodiment 4
  • The present embodiment provides an air-conditioning air outlet panel. Compared with Embodiment 2, the air-conditioning air outlet panel in the present embodiment further improves the second solution in Embodiment 2 as follows.
  • The first situation that the first plate body and the second plate body are overlapped, and the third plate body and the second plate body are of an integrated structure in the second solution is taken as an example. Here, the third plate body and the second plate body are of a stepped integrated structure. The third plate body is disposed close to the decorative panel relative to the second plate body, and the second plate body is disposed away from the decorative panel relative to the third plate body. In an exemplary embodiment, when the first plate body and the second plate body are overlapped, the second plate body is located at a side, away from the decorative panel, of the first plate body. The second plate body is overlapped on an inner side of the first plate body during an air is discharged by a grille of the first plate body , and the third plate body and the second plate body need to be moved integrally. Therefore, the moving area of the air-conditioning air outlet panel in this situation of the improved solution is larger than the moving area of the air-conditioning air outlet panel in Embodiment 3, and the moving area of the air-conditioning air outlet panel in Embodiment 3 has one more plate body moving area than the moving area of the air-conditioning air outlet panel in Embodiment 4. Compared with the related art, the moving area of the air-conditioning air outlet panel in Embodiment 4 is smaller than the moving area of the air-conditioning air outlet panel in the related art by a moving area of one plate body.
  • In addition, the second situation that the first plate body and the second plate body are overlapped and the third plate body and the first plate body are of an integrated structure in the second solution in Embodiment 2 is taken as an example. The improvement is as follows: the third plate body and the first plate body are of a stepped integrated structure. The third plate body is disposed close to the decorative panel relative to the first plate body, and the first plate body is disposed away from the decorative panel relative to the third plate body. In an exemplary embodiment, when the first plate body and the second plate body are overlapped, the first plate body is located at a side, away from the decorative panel, of the second plate body. During the air outlet process of the micro-pores in the second plate body, the first plate body is located on the inner side of the second plate body. Since the air outlet holes of the air outlet grille are larger, a micro-pore air outlet process cannot be affected. Therefore, the improvement of this situation can reduce the moving area of two plate bodies relative to the related art.
  • Embodiment 5
  • The present embodiment provides an air-conditioning air outlet panel. Compared with Embodiment 2, the air-conditioning air outlet panel in the present embodiment further improves the third solution in Embodiment 2 as follows.
  • The situation that the first plate body and the third plate body are overlapped, and the second plate body and the third plate body are of an integrated structure in the third design solution is taken as an example. Here, when the first plate body and the third plate body are overlapped, the third plate body is located at a side, away from the decorative panel, of the first plate body. During an air is gone out from the grille of the first plate body, the third plate body overlapped with the first plate body is located on an inner side of the first plate body to cause a closing effect, so that the third plate body and the second plate body need to be moved again integrally. Therefore, the moving area of the air-conditioning air outlet panel is larger than the moving area of the air-conditioning air outlet panel in Embodiment 3 by one plate body.
  • For another situation that the second plate body and the third plate body are overlapped, and the first plate body and the third plate body are of an integrated structure in the third solution in Embodiment 2, the above arrangement is performed. Details are not described herein.
