This application provides an air outlet device 100.

Referring to FIGS. 1 to 3, in an embodiment of this application, the air outlet device 100 includes an air duct case 110 and an air guide assembly 140. The air duct case 110 includes an air outlet member 120 which has an air cavity 120a formed therein. An air inlet 120b in communication with the air cavity 120a is formed at one side of the air outlet member 120, and an air outlet 120c in communication with the air cavity 120a is formed at the other side of the air outlet member 120. The air guide assembly 140 includes an air outlet hole 1422. The air guide assembly 140 is movably mounted at the air outlet member 120 and is located at the air outlet 120c. The air guide assembly 140 is provided close to a surface of the air outlet member 120 and may move along the surface of the air outlet member 120 to change an angle of air blown out from the air outlet 120c.

The air outlet device 100 of this application is applied to an air conditioning apparatus 500. The air outlet member 120 as a whole extends along an axis in an elongated strip shape, and the air inlet 120b and the air outlet 120c also extend in a length direction of the air outlet member 120 in an elongated opening shape. The air guide assembly 140 is also in an elongated shape, so as to be adapted to the entire air outlet member 120 to interfere with an air outlet angle of the entire air outlet 120c. The air guide assembly 140 is provided close to the surface of the air outlet member 120 and may move along the surface of the air outlet member 120, that is, the air guide assembly 140 may slide relative to the surface of the air outlet member 120. In addition, the air guide assembly 140 may be provided on an inner side or an outer side of the air outlet member 120, that is, the air guide assembly 140 may slide relative to an inner surface or an outer surface of the air outlet member 120. The air guide assembly 140 may be manually or automatically driven to slide. When the air guide assembly 140 is manually driven, a sliding guide structure with a sliding rail cooperating with a sliding groove may be formed on the air guide assembly 140 and the air outlet member 120, and the air guide assembly 140 may be provided with a lever for turning the air guide assembly 140 to rotate. Or, when the air guide assembly 140 and the air outlet member 120 form a rotating shaft connection, the air guide assembly 140 may be driven to slide relative to the air guide member 141 through a rocker or a knob. In this application, the air inlet 120b is correspondingly connected to an outlet of a blower or an outlet of an air duct of the air conditioning apparatus 500. The airflow enters the air cavity 120a from the air inlet 120b and is accumulated in the air cavity 120a. The air guide assembly 140 includes the air outlet hole 1422, and a position of the air outlet hole 1422 relative to the air outlet 120c or the air inlet 120b will inevitably change during the movement of the air guide assembly 140, which will cause an angle of airflow blown out from the air outlet 120c to change. The airflow discharged from the air outlet 120c may be used to achieve indoor cooling, indoor purification, or other scenes where needed.

In the technical solution of this application, an air cavity 120a is formed inside an air outlet member 120, and airflow entering from an air inlet 120b is gathered inside the air cavity 120a. An air guide assembly 140 is provided close to a surface of the air outlet member 120. The air guide assembly 140 may move along the surface of the air outlet member 120, so that a relative position of an air outlet hole 1422 is also changed, which causes an angle of air blown from the air outlet 120c to change, so as to meet the needs of people for different air outlet angles. Because the air guide assembly 140 is provided close to the surface of the air outlet member 120 and moves along the surface of the air outlet member 120, the air guide assembly 140 may be equivalent to a part of a case of the air outlet member 120 during the air guide process. The airflow accumulated in the air cavity 120a suffers from a very small wind resistance of the air guide assembly 140, thus realizing the maximum air output.

In this application, the air guide assembly 140 is received in the air cavity 120a and may move along an inner surface of the air outlet member 120 where the air outlet 120c is formed. In this application, the air guide assembly 140 is built in the air outlet member 120, so that the air guide assembly 140 may serve as an inner wall of the air outlet member 120 during the air guide process. On the one hand, the built-in structure makes it difficult for dust and other sundries to be accumulated between the air guide assembly 140 and the air outlet member 120. On the other hand, the built-in structure also makes the air conditioning apparatus 500 with the structure of this application more integrated and more beautiful in appearance. It can be understood that it is also possible to arrange the air guide assembly 140 outside the air outlet member 120, which may make the disassembly and assembly of the air guide assembly 140 easier.

Please refer to FIGS. 1 to 3 in combination again, the air outlet member 120 includes a curved case 121 with an arched cross-section, end covers 122 covering both ends of the curved case 121, and a base plate 123 covering a lateral opening of the curved case 121. The air outlet 120c is formed at the curved case 121, and the air inlet 120b is formed at the base plate 123. The air guide assembly 140 includes an air guide member 141 facing the air outlet 120c and defining the air outlet hole 1422. A cross-sectional shape of the air guide member 141 is an arc shape that matches a shape of the curved case 121.

In this application, an arc angle of a cross section of the curved case 121 is approximately 270 degrees, and an opening angle of the air outlet 120c is approximately 90 degrees to 100 degrees. The curved case 121, the end covers 122 and the base plate 123 enclose to form the air cavity 120a. An overall shape of the air outlet member 120 is a cylindrical shape with a part cut off in an axial direction, so that the air cavity 120a also has an inner wall that can make the air flow swirl. The entire air outlet member 120 is located at an end of the air outlet device 100, and when the air outlet device 100 is placed vertically, the air outlet member 120 is located at a top end. In the actual use process, it can be known that air flow blown from the air inlet 120b on the base plate 123 will rush toward the curved case 121. When the air flow hits the inner wall of the curved case 121, the air flow is guided to the air outlet hole 1422 by the inner wall of the curved case 121 and blown out from the air outlet 120c. It can be understood that when the airflow is guided by the inner wall of the curved case 121, the less is the guide distance and the less does the airflow direction change, the faster the flow rate of the airflow blown from the air outlet hole 1422 is. It is obvious that since the air guide member 141 of the air guide assembly 140 is provided close to the inner wall of the curved case 121, it may be regarded as a part of the inner wall of the curved case 121, so the process when the airflow is guided is smoother. Compared with the way in which the louver is set at the air outlet 120c to obstruct the air flow again and change the direction of the air flow, the wind resistance in this application will be relatively smaller and the air outlet volume will be much larger. It should be noted that the shape and structure of the air outlet member 120 may be other shapes and structures, such as an elliptical shape, a square shape, or other anisotropic shapes, besides the embodiments listed above.

Further, during the use of the air conditioning apparatus 500, people's needs for air output will vary depending on the region or time of use. For example, if a rapid cooling is wanted, a large amount of air and a large air speed are needed; if a mild air conditioning is wanted, the air outlet volume needs to be reduced. For this reason, in this application, the air guide member 141 includes a shielding area 143 and an air outlet area 142. The air outlet area 142 may be corresponding to the air outlet 120c when larger air volume is needed, and the shielding area 143 may cover part of the air outlet 120c when smaller air volume is needed.

Further, this application may further realize the control of the air outlet angle under the condition that the control of the air outlet volume may be realized. Please refer to FIGS. 4 to 6 in combination, the air outlet area 142 is provided with a grille 1421 to define air outlet holes 1422. The grille 1421 extends in a length direction of the air outlet 120c. When the air guide assembly 140 moves along the inner surface of the air outlet member 120, an angle between a plate surface of the grille 1421 and the horizontal plane is between 0 degrees and 90 degrees.

In this application, a plurality of grilles 1421 are provided and arranged at even intervals. Each grille 1421 is in a shape of a flat strip and has two opposite surfaces. A strip-shaped air outlet hole 1422 is defined between the two opposite surfaces of adjacent grilles 1421. A direction of initial airflow entering the air cavity 120a from the air inlet 120b is set at an acute angle with a plate surface of the base plate 123 (specifically, it can be achieved through adjustment of an angle of a volute and a volute tongue installed on the air duct case 110). In this way, when the air guide assembly 140 moves along the surface of the air outlet member 120, the front air outlet, oblique air outlet, and top air outlet modes may be realized. The specific implementation process is as follows:

Please refer to FIG. 4. FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view of the air outlet device 100 of this application in a front air outlet mode. The air outlet device 100 of this application is placed vertically during actual use. At this time, the curved case 121 is tilted towards the user, so that the opening direction of the air outlet 120c when in use is approximately 40 degrees to 50 degrees from the horizontal plane. The air guide member 141 is rotated and moved clockwise in the figure, and the air outlet area 142 is approximately located at a lower part of the air outlet 120c, so that surfaces of the grilles 1421 may be parallel to the horizontal plane. At this time, the passages of the air outlet holes 1422 among the grilles 1421 are also horizontally arranged. Because the initial airflow entering the air cavity 120a from the air inlet 120b is arranged at an acute angle and faces the lower part of the air outlet 120c, most of the airflow may be directly blown forward from the passages of the horizontal air outlet holes 1422 (the arrow in FIG. 4 is the direction of the airflow), so that airflow with a high volume and high speed may be formed in front of the outside of the air outlet device 100, thereby achieving the effect of rapid temperature adjustment.

Please refer to FIG. 5. FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view of the air outlet device 100 of this application in an oblique air outlet mode. In this mode, the air guide member 141 is rotated and moved counterclockwise in the figure. At this time, the air outlet area 142 is approximately located in the middle of the air outlet 120c, and the passages of the air outlet holes 1422 among the grilles 1421 are approximately 45 degrees to 60 degrees from the horizontal plane. Because the initial airflow entering the air cavity 120a from the air inlet 120b is arranged at an acute angle to the plate surface of the base plate 123 and faces the lower part of the air outlet 120c, the air flow will be guided by the inner wall of the air cavity 120a to the air outlet holes 1422 in the inclined state, thereby blowing out the airflow in the inclined state (airflow as indicated by arrow direction in FIG. 5).

Please refer to FIG. 6. FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view of the air outlet device 100 of this application in a top air outlet mode. In this mode, the air guide member 141 is rotated and moved counterclockwise in the figure and moved to a position where the air outlet area 142 is approximately located at a top position of the air outlet 120c, and the passages of the air outlet holes 1422 among the grilles 1421 are approximately 90 degrees vertical to the horizontal plane. Because the initial airflow entering the air cavity 120a from the air inlet 120b is arranged at an acute angle to the horizontal plane and faces the lower part of the air outlet 120c, the airflow entering the air cavity 120a may be guided through a longer inner wall of the air cavity 120a and the direction may change more, so that the energy consumption of the airflow is higher, and the airflow velocity blowing upward from the air outlet 120c is slower, which may achieve a windless effect.

It should be noted that although this application describes a scenario in which the included angle between the plate surfaces of the grilles 1421 and the horizontal plane is between 0 degrees and 90 degrees when the air guide assembly 140 moves along the inner surface of the air outlet member 120, for the adjustment of other air outlet angles, based on the solution of this application, it may also be achieved by increasing the opening angle of the air outlet 120c or the orientation of the entire air outlet member 120 and then matching the degree of rotation of the air guide assembly 140.

Based on the realization of the above three air outlet modes, in order to make the air outlet angles of these three air outlet modes more accurate, this application further provides a design as follows. Please refer to FIGS. 3 to 6 in combination, each of front and rear sides in a moving direction of the air guide member 141 are provided with a shielding area 143, and the air outlet area 142 is located between the two shielding areas 143. In this application, an area of the air outlet area 142 and an area of the air outlet 120c are approximately the same. With the setting of the shielding areas 143 on both sides, opening areas of the air outlet 120c close to the bottom part and the top part may be blocked by the shielding areas 143 when the air outlet device 100 is in the top air outlet mode and the front air outlet mode of the above three air outlet modes (refer to FIGS. 4 and 6), so that the air outlet angle is more accurate.

In order to realize that the air outlet device 100 automatically controls the air guide assembly 140 in the above three air outlet modes, the following structural design is carried out in this application. Please refer to FIGS. 1 to 3 in combination again, the air outlet device further includes a driver 150 mounted at an outer side of at least one of the end covers 122. The air guide assembly 140 further includes a connection member 144 connected to an end of the air guide member 141. A driving shaft of the driver 150 is connected to the connection member 144. The driver 150 of this application may be a driving motor. The air guide device may be rotationally connected to an inner wall of the end cover 122 through a pivot on the connection member 144. The driving motor is connected to the pivot on the connection member 144 in transmission, thereby controlling an angle of rotation of the driving motor through a program to achieve the automatic driving of the air guide assembly 140 to stop at the required position in the above modes. Certainly, the mounting position of the driver 150 of this application may also be fixed by means of a structure other than the air outlet device 100.

On the basis that the air outlet device 100 of this application has the functions of realizing the above three air outlet modes, in other embodiments, at least two air outlets 120c may be formed at the air outlet member 120, and each air outlet 120c may be correspondingly provided with one air guide assembly 140. The figures show the solution in which the air outlets 120c are arranged left-right side by side. It can be understood that a number of air outlets 120c may be three or more, and they may be arranged left-right side by side or front-rear side by side or a combination of multiple arrangements, and each air guide assembly 140 may be driven and controlled separately by the driver 150, thereby meeting more air outlet angle adjustment requirements, or achieving a new mixed air outlet function through different air outlet modes of different air outlets 120c.

Please refer to FIGS. 7 and 8 in combination, this application further provides an air conditioning apparatus 500. The air conditioning apparatus 500 includes an air blower and the air outlet device 100, and an outlet of the air blower is in communication with the air inlet 120b. The specific structure of the air outlet device 100 refers to the above-mentioned embodiment. Since the air outlet device 100 adopts all the technical solutions of all the above-mentioned embodiments, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought by the technical solutions of the above-mentioned embodiments, which will not be repeated here. The air conditioning apparatus 500 may be a mobile air conditioner, an integrated or integral air conditioner, or an air purifier, etc. FIGS. 7 and 8 are examples of the air conditioning apparatus 500 having the above-described air outlet device 100, in which a mobile air conditioner is taken as an example for description.

FIG. 7 is a schematic three-dimensional structural diagram of an air conditioning apparatus 500 of this application, and FIG. 8 is a schematic diagram showing an internal structure of the air conditioning apparatus 500, in which a housing 510 is removed. The air conditioning apparatus 500 includes a housing 510 and a middle partition plate assembly (not labeled) disposed inside the housing 510. The middle partition plate assembly separates the housing 510 into an upper space and a lower space. The upper space is mounted with the air outlet device 100, a heat exchanger 520 and the air blower. In order to simplify an internal structure of the entire mobile air conditioner and save space, in this application, the air duct case 110 of the air outlet device 100 is further provided with a mounting member 130 integrated with the air outlet member 120. The air blower is mounted at the mounting member 130, and the heat exchanger 520 is abutted against the mounting member 130 and covered at an inlet side of the air blower. It can be seen from FIG. 8 that the air outlet member 120 in the air outlet device 100 extends from an opening at a top of the housing 510, and the top of the housing 510 defines an inclined surface to avoid interference with the air outlet of the air outlet device 100. In actual use, the mobile air conditioner with the air outlet device 100 may provide users with the above-mentioned modes of front air outlet, oblique air outlet and top air outlet with multiple air outlet angles, which may provide users with good use experience.

The above are only optional embodiments of this application, and therefore do not limit the patent scope of this application. Under the conception of this application, any equivalent structural transformation made by using the content of the description and drawings of this application, or direct/indirect application in other related technical fields are all included in the scope of this application.
