The present invention belongs to the field of cleaning equipment and, in particular, to a top cover of an air handling system.
At present, living standards are improved, air conditioners have become essential household appliances. In the summer, the air conditioners can reduce the indoor ambient temperature, and provide people with a comfortable environment, but most people experienced that the cold wind from the air outlet of the air conditioner directly blows to the body. This not only makes people feel cold, but also easily makes people suffer from influenza, bad trachea, partial cervical numbness and other air conditioning syndromes. Therefore, there is a need for a device capable of adjusting the direction of air flow to change the wind direction of the air outlet.

A grille is provided at each of the air outlet and the air inlet.
The grille provided at the air outlet is a guide vane.
The fan is internally formed with a reverse tapered flow guide body, which forms a radially annular flow-guide air outlet with an inner wall of the top cover.
Preferably, the guide device is of an inverted isosceles trapezoidal radial cross-section.
Preferably, the radial cross-section of the guide device is a tapered cylinder.
Preferably, an outer wall of the guide device is in the shape of a concave arc.
Preferably, the guide device is concentric with the centre of the top cover.

Preferably, the radius of circular arc of a side surface of the guide device is 60 mm to 100 mm.
Preferably, the radius of circular arc of the side surface of the guide device is 80 mm.
Preferably, the guide device is provided with an extension device which is capable of extending along the side surface of the guide device, the extension device being capable of adjusting the extension length until it is sealed with the machine body.
The top cover of an air handling system provided in the invention is provided with an additional guide device at the air outlet so as to change the air outletting direction of the air outlet, to increase the air outletting angle, and to improve the comfort of air supply, and is simple in operation and convenient to use.

In this context, these embodiments of the present invention may be individually or collectively referred to by the term “invention” for convenience only, and if in fact more than one invention is disclosed, it is not intended to automatically limit that the application is within the scope of any single inventive or inventive concept.
In a top cover of an air handling system as shown in
A grille is provided at each of the air outlet 2 and the air inlet 3.
The grille 4 provided at the air outlet 2 is a guide vane.
The fan 5 is internally formed with a reverse tapered flow guide body 7, which reverse tapered flow guide body 7 forms a radially annular flow-guide air outlet with an inner wall of the top cover 1.
Preferably, the guide device 6 is of an inverted isosceles trapezoidal radial cross-section.
Preferably, the radial cross-section of the guide device 6 is a tapered cylinder.
Preferably, an outer wall of the guide device 6 is in the shape of a concave arc.
Preferably, the guide device 6 is concentric with the centre of the top cover 1.
When in use, the top cover 1 of the air handling system is adjusted and opened according to the demand, so that an airflow is generated at the air outlet 2, which passes through the guide device 6 and the direction of which is changed by the guide device 6, making the outletting air soft and comfortable.
Preferably, the area of the the top surface of the guide device 6 is less than or equal to the area of the cross-section of the top cover 1.
Preferably, the radius of circular arc of a side surface of the guide device 6 is 60 mm to 100 mm.
Preferably, the radius of circular arc of the side surface of the guide device 6 is 80 mm.
Preferably, an outer wall of the top cover 1 is provided with an upwardly extending extension plate 8, which extension plate 8 is capable of matching with the guide device 6 in a sealing manner, the extension plate 8 being extendable beyond an outer wall of the top cover 1 by any length.
Preferably, when the air handling system is closed, the extension plate 8 is adjusted such that the extension plate is sealed with the guide device 6, so as to prevent dust from entering the machine body 1 through the grill 4; and during use of the air handling system, the extension plate 8 is adjusted such that the extension plate 8 is away from the guide device 6.
In some illustrative embodiments, the air handling system further comprises a top cover 1, which is disposed on the one or more air handling devices. The top cover comprises an air inlet 3, an air outlet 2, and a power-supply input structure for receiving the power supplied from the adjacent air handling device. The power-supply input structure is provided on the bottom surface of top cover 1. The power-supply input structure is specified as a top cover 1 power source mating interface. The air handling system may further comprise a top cover 1 communication mating interface provided on the bottom surface of the top cover 1 for communication connection. Of course, the top cover 1 power source mating interface and the top cover 1 communication mating interface may be integrated into one interface. The top cover 1 power source mating interface and the top cover 1 communication mating interface employ the structure of the first terminal block or the second terminal block of the connector as described above. The top cover 1 is further provided with a top cover 1 magnet and a guide post on the bottom surface thereof.
