Description
TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure relates to the field of air conditioners, in particular to a method for controlling a front panel and a front panel device of an air conditioner.


BACKGROUND

Air conditioner is a device that adjusts and controls the temperature, humidity, flow rate and other parameters of e ambient air in a building or structure by artificial means.


Generally, cold air or hot air is blown out of the air conditioner through an air outlet, and an air volume (a wind speed) is adjusted by an internal structure of the air conditioner to achieve an air volume adjustment, such as soft wind, small wind, normal wind, strong wind, etc. However, normal air conditioner needs to further adjust the air volume based on the soft wind (or the lowest wind speed), which can be achieved by designing a more precise and complex air volume adjustment structure. However, there are problems of high cost, easy damage and large power consumption.


Certainly, a front panel can also be provided at the air outlet of the air conditioner to divert the air blown out of the air outlet and reduce the air volume under a system resistance caused by the front panel, or the air is blown out in other directions (up, down, left, and right directions). However, the conventional front panel only has a conventional diversion adjustment function, which has a single function and a general experience, and cannot make good use of the function of the front panel for guiding and diverting air. For example, the front panel can only realize the opening and closing state to switch an air flow direction. However, the front panel can only switch the air flow direction, and cannot control the air volume.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

The preferred embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.


As shown in FIGS. 1 to 8, a front panel device and a front panel control method of an air conditioner are provided according to a preferred embodiment of the present disclosure.


Referring to FIG. 1, a front end surface 101 of the air conditioner is provided with a first air outlet 110 and a front panel 200 movably provided on the front end surface 101. The air conditioner includes a middle frame 100, the first air outlet 110 is an opening arranged on the middle frame 100 to blow air. The front panel 200 is movably arranged on the front end surface 101 of the middle frame 100 to form a system resistance for the air blown out of the first air outlet 110. Further, referring to FIG. 2 and FIG. 4, when the front panel 200 moves back and forth relative to the front end surface 101, that is, the front panel 200 moves away from or close to the front end surface 101, such as moving forward along a direction A, the front panel 200 and the front end surface 101 form an air outlet channel 310 in communication with the first air outlet 110. That is, a gap is formed between the front panel 200 and the front end surface 101. In addition, the air outlet channel 310 forms at least one second air outlet 320 at a peripheral edge of the front panel 200. That is, at an edge opening of the gap, the air blown out of the first air outlet 110 is partially blocked by the front panel 200 and enters the air outlet channel 310, and then the air is directed to the second air outlet 320 to be blown out. Certainly, a directing structure may be provided in the air outlet channel 310 to direct a direction of the air, the air is blown out of the edge opening of the gap as the second air outlet 320, so that a volume of the air blown out of the first air outlet 110 is limited. Only a part of the air is blown out of a lower part of the front panel 200, so that a controllable soft wind state is achieved. A speed of air flow is controlled through the front panel 200, a change of the internal structure is reduced, the cost of research and development and product are reduced, and the controllability is high. A thin arrow indicates a direction of the air flow in principle, but an air outlet direction is influenced by a protruding edge of the middle frame 100 and an air deflector to have a forward direction, for example, the air is blown out in a forward direction and an oblique direction, and a thick arrow indicates a moving direction of the front panel 200.


The method for controlling the front panel 200 includes: controlling a movement of the front panel and adjusting a spatial position of the front panel 200 to control an air intake volume of the air outlet channel 310. The step specifically includes follows.


Step S10, the front panel 200 moves back and forth relative to the front surface 101, and a spatial size of the air outlet channel 310 is adjusted to control the air intake volume of the air outlet channel 310. The spatial size and the air intake volume of the air outlet channel 310 have the same variation trend.


Step S20, the front panel 200 moves up and down relative to the front face 101, and an opening size of the first air outlet 110 is adjusted to control the air intake volume of the air outlet channel 310. The opening size and the air intake volume of the air outlet channel have reverse variation trends.


Specifically, in step S10, referring to FIG. 1 to FIG. 4, the front panel 200 moves forward and backward relative to the front end surface 101, that is, the front panel 200 can moves forward along the direction A from a contact state of FIG. 1, and gradually forms the air outlet channel 310 as shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3. A spatial size of the air channel 310 is adjusted to control the air intake volume of an air channel, and a volume of the air blown from the first air outlet 110 into the air outlet channel 310 is determined by the size of the air channel, so as to adjust a volume of the air blown out of the second air outlet 320. Moreover, the spatial size and the air intake volume of the air outlet channel 310 have the same variation trend. The larger the spatial size of the air outlet channel 310, the more air is blown into the air outlet channel 310 by the first air outlet 110, and the more air is blown out of the second air outlet 320. Especially, under the premise that a volume of the air generated by the air conditioner is constant or slightly changed, a system resistance formed by the front panel 200 hinders the volume of the air blown out of the first air outlet 110.


Similarly, in step S20, referring to FIG. 5 to FIG. 8, the front panel 200 moves up and down relative to the front end surface 101. Preferably, when the front panel 200 moves to the farthest position from the front end surface 101, the front panel 200 is lifted along the direction B and the first air outlet 110 is gradually leaked in a horizontal direction, that is, the opening size of the first air outlet 110 is adjusted, so that more air output from the first air outlet 110 can be directly blown forward without being blocked by the front panel 200. Referring to FIG. 5 and FIG. 7, when the front panel 200 is ascended higher and higher, a blocking surface of the front panel 200 becomes smaller and smaller, and less and less air is blown from the first air outlet 110 into the air outlet passage 310, so that less and less air is blown from the second air outlet 320, until the front panel 200 moves to the highest position as shown in FIG. 6 and FIG. 8, the first air outlet 110 is fully completely exposed in the horizontal direction. All the air blown out of the first air outlet 110 is blown forward. In this case, the air conditioner is equivalent to a conventional air conditioner without the front panel 200, and the air blown out of the first air outlet 110 of the air conditioner is guided by the air deflector to achieve an up-and-down sweeping. The array points are indicative air to be blown out.


In this embodiment, referring to FIG. 4, the second air outlet 320 is an annular air outlet or a partial annular air outlet of the front panel 200. The air from the first air outlet 110 is blocked by the front panel 200 to enter the air outlet channel 310, and then the air is blown out of the second air outlet 320. The annular air outlet can discharge air from an upper part, a lower part, a left part and a right part thereof. However, since an air suction structure or other particular structure located at the upper part of the air conditioner, only left and right air outlets or only left and right air outlets can be formed, i.e., partial annular air outlets.


As shown in FIGS. 9 to 12, a first motion trajectory and a second motion trajectory are provided according to a preferred embodiment of the present disclosure.


The method for controlling the front panel 200 further includes: configuring a first motion trajectory Q1 and a second motion trajectory Q2. The first motion trajectory Q1 is a motion trajectory of the front panel 200 moving back and forth relative to the front end surface 101, and the second motion trajectory Q2 is a motion trajectory of the front panel 200 moving up and down relative to the front end surface 101. Specifically, the front panel 200 can move according to a preset motion trajectory through a driving structure. For example, the first motion trajectory Q1 is performed first, and then the second motion trajectory Q2 is performed. Certainly, the front panel 200 may only move back and forth in the first motion trajectory Q1 or the second motion trajectory Q2. Alternatively, the front panel 200 may move back and forth in all or part of the first motion trajectory Q1 and the second motion trajectory Q2. Alternatively, only one motion is performed, and no reciprocating motion is performed. Preferably, the first motion trajectory Q1 is an arc-shaped motion trajectory in a front-up direction. Certainly, the first motion trajectory Q1 may also be an oblique forward motion trajectory or a horizontal forward motion trajectory. More preferably, the front panel 200 can move moves forward first and then moved upward in an arc-shaped or straight-line according to the first motion trajectory Q1, and then the second motion trajectory Q2 is performed.


The moving of the front panel 200 according to the first motion trajectory includes: moving the front panel 200 back and forth, away from or adjacent to the front end surface 101, alternatively, ascending or descending the front panel 200 during moving the front panel 200 back and forth, so as to increase or decrease the opening size of the first air outlet 110. Moreover, when the front panel 200 moves from the horizontal direction along an arc motion trajectory or a linear motion trajectory to the farthest position from the front end surface 101 or to a starting point of the second motion trajectory Q2, the front panel 200 continues to move along the second motion trajectory Q2, so that the front panel 200 moves forward and backward relative to the front end surface 101 and moves up and down relative to the front end surface 101. Certainly, when the front panel 200 moves up and down relative to the front end surface 101, the front panel 200 may not move in a vertical direction, and there may be deviation in other directions.


Further, the opening size of the first air outlet 110 is not the maximum opening size when the front panel 200 is located at the farthest stroke of the arc motion trajectory, and the opening size of the first air outlet 110 is the maximum opening size when the front panel 200 is located at the highest stroke of the second motion trajectory Q2.


As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 9 to FIG. 12, the present disclosure provides a preferred embodiment of the front panel in various state according to the front panel control method.


The method for controlling the front panel 200 further includes follows.


A closed state, a forward and backward movement state, and an up and down movement state are configured. The closed state is a state that the front panel 200 is adjacent to the front end surface 101 and closes or semi-closes the first air outlet 110 or a front end of the first air outlet 110. The forward and backward movement state is a process that the front panel 200 moves back and forth relative to the front end surface 101. The up and down movement state is a process that the front panel 200 moves up and down relative to the front end surface 101. The front panel 200 is controlled to be switched between the closed state and the forward and backward movement state, or the front panel 200 is controlled to be switched between the forward and backward movement state and the up and down movement state.


As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 11, in the closed state, the front panel 200 is arranged adjacent to the front end surface 101, and the front panel 200 completely close or semi-close the first air outlet 110. Alternatively, the front panel 200 completely blocks the front end of the first air outlet 110, and the front panel 200 may cooperate with the air deflector to achieve a full closure of the first air outlet 110, or the front panel 200 may cooperate with a movable switch door to achieve a full closure of the first air outlet 110. In the forward and backward movement state, the front panel 200 is arranged away from the front end surface 101, and an air outlet duct is formed between the front panel 200 and the front end surface 101. Since the front panel 200 moves according to the arc motion trajectory, the front panel 200 also moves upward when front panel 200 moves away from the front end surface 101. Part of the air blown out of the first air outlet 110 is directly blown out horizontally, and part of the air enters the air outlet duct duo to the blocking of the front panel 200. Alternatively, the front panel 200 moves according to a forward linear motion trajectory, and the front panel 200 only moves forward in the process of moving away. Alternatively, the front panel 200 moves according to a particular motion trajectory, and the front panel 200 moves forward and then moves in an arc shape in the process of moving away. Alternatively, the front panel 200 moves according to a particular motion trajectory, and the front panel 200 moves forward and then moves obliquely in a forward and upward direction in the process of moving away. As shown in FIG. 10 and FIG. 13, in the up and down movement state, the front panel 200 can be ascended or descended to adjust the opening size of the first air outlet 110, that is, the opening size of the first air outlet 110 blocked in the horizontal direction and the air blown out of the first air outlet 110 is controlled by the ascending or descending of the front panel 200. Further, an air inlet is provided at the top of the middle frame 100 of the air conditioner, and air is sucked by the air inlet and blown out of the first air outlet 110 through being adjusted by the internal structure.
