An air conditioner 100 according to an embodiment of the present utility model is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Referring to fig. 1 to 17, an air conditioner 100 according to an embodiment of the present utility model may include: an air outlet frame 10 and a switch door 12.

Specifically, as shown in fig. 1, the air outlet frame 10 may have an air outlet 11, and the heat exchange gas after heat exchange may be circulated to an external environment such as an indoor space through the air outlet 11. The switch door 12 can move relative to the air outlet frame 10 to open and close the air outlet 11, for example, when the air conditioner 100 is opened, the switch door 12 opens the air outlet 11, and the heat-exchanged air can flow to the external environment, so as to avoid structural interference to the air flow path. When the air conditioner 100 is closed, the switch door 12 closes the air outlet 11, and the switch door 12 can shield dust and impurities in the outside air, so that the air conditioner 100 can normally operate.

It should be noted that, the switch door 12 may have various movement forms, such as translation, rotation, etc., relative to the air outlet frame 10, and the movement forms of the switch door 12 may be flexibly set according to the specific structure of the air conditioner 100.

In some related technologies, in a state of opening an air outlet of an air conditioner, a gap between a switch door of the air conditioner and an air outlet frame is large, air flow subjected to heat exchange, such as cold air, is easy to leak, condensation is easy to generate in an inner space of the air conditioner, and then the risk of corrosion of parts in the air conditioner or short circuit of the air conditioner is caused, so that the service life of the parts in the air conditioner is influenced. Meanwhile, the gap between the switch door and the air outlet frame also influences the visual experience of the air conditioner, so that the structural parts inside the air conditioner are exposed, and the use experience of a user is seriously reduced.

In order to solve the above problems, in the present embodiment, as shown in fig. 2 to 4 and 12 to 15, the air conditioner 100 may further include a shielding member 20, and the shielding member 20 may be mounted to the air outlet frame 10 or the opening and closing door 12. The shutter 20 is used to block the gap between the door 12 and the air outlet frame 10 in a state where the door 12 opens the air outlet 11. The shielding member 20 may completely shield the gap between the switch door 12 and the air outlet frame 10, for example, the shielding member 20 seals the gap between the switch door 12 and the air outlet frame 10, or may partially shield the gap between the switch door 12 and the air outlet frame 10. These are all within the scope of the embodiments of the present utility model.

Specifically, by providing the shielding member 20, the shielding member 20 can play a certain role in shielding the flow path of the air after heat exchange, so that most of the air flows from the air outlet 11 to the external environment outside the air conditioner 100, and the air flow loss is reduced.

On the one hand, the risk that the air current leaks from the gap between the switch door 12 and the air outlet frame 10 when the switch door 12 is in the open state can be effectively reduced, and then the risk that the air current leaks to cause the corrosion of the internal parts of the air conditioner 100 due to condensation is reduced, and the risk that the air conditioner 100 is in short circuit is reduced, for example, the switch door 12 and the air outlet frame 10 are arranged in the internal space surrounded by the casing of the air conditioner 100, hot air possibly exists in the internal space, and the risk that the condensed water is generated due to the contact of the heat exchanged air and the hot air can be reduced by arranging the shielding piece 20, so that the service life of the internal parts of the air conditioner 100 and the service safety of the air conditioner 100 are improved.

On the other hand, through setting up the shielding piece 20, the inside structure that shielding piece 20 can shelter from air conditioner 100 avoids the inside structure direct exposure of air conditioner 100 in user's sight, is favorable to promoting the whole aesthetic feeling of air conditioner 100, and then is favorable to promoting user's use experience.

Meanwhile, in some related technologies, there is a tolerance in the assembly of the switch door, which easily results in a large gap between the switch door and the air outlet frame. The shielding member 20 of the present application can balance the assembly tolerance of the door 12, thereby being beneficial to reducing the difficulty of assembly and the difficulty of assembly of the door 12, and making the structural design of the air conditioner 100 more reasonable.

According to the air conditioner 100 of the embodiment of the utility model, the shielding piece 20 is installed on one of the air outlet frame 10 or the switch door 12, so that the gap between the switch door 12 and the air outlet frame 10 can be shielded when the switch door 12 is in the open state, thereby reducing the circulation path of air flow, reducing the risk of condensation caused by leakage of air flow from the gap, further reducing the risk of corrosion of internal parts of the air conditioner 100 or short circuit of the air conditioner 100, and being beneficial to prolonging the service life of the internal parts of the air conditioner 100 and improving the use safety of the air conditioner 100. In addition, the shielding piece 20 can effectively shield the internal structure of the air conditioner, thereby being beneficial to improving the overall aesthetic feeling of the air conditioner 100. Meanwhile, the shielding piece 20 can balance the assembly tolerance of the switch door 12, and assembly difficulty is reduced.

According to some embodiments of the present utility model, as shown in fig. 1, 2, 11 and 12, the shielding member 20 may be disposed at the edge of the air outlet 11, for example, the shielding member 20 may be disposed at an end of the air outlet frame 10 facing the opening and closing door 12, and the shielding member 20 may also be disposed at an end of the opening and closing door 12 facing the air outlet frame 10. Also, the shutter 20 may extend in the up-down direction (i.e., the height direction of the air conditioner 100), and the opening and closing door 12 may move in the vertical direction with respect to the air outlet frame 10 to open or close the air outlet 11.

Specifically, by extending the shutter 20 in the up-down direction, the shutter 20 can effectively block the gap between the opening and closing door 12 and the air outlet frame 10. And the length of the shielding piece 20 in the up-down direction is reasonably set, so that the coverage range of the shielding piece 20 can be increased, the flow path of air flow is effectively reduced, and the effect of reducing the risk of condensation can be realized.

In addition, the opening and closing of the opening and closing door 12 and the opening and closing of the air outlet 11 are perpendicular to the up-down direction, for example, the opening and closing of the opening and closing door 12 can be realized by the rotation of the opening and closing door 12 perpendicular to the up-down direction, the movement path of the opening and closing door 12 is simple, and the working reliability is strong.

It should be noted that the specific configuration of the shielding member 20 may be flexibly set according to practical needs, for example, in some embodiments in which the shielding member 20 completely seals the gap between the switch door 12 and the air outlet frame 10, the shielding member 20 may include a rubber member, and the sealing performance achieved by the shielding member 20 is good. In some embodiments in which the shutter 20 partially shields the gap between the opening and closing door 12 and the air outlet frame 10, the shutter 20 may include a brush 261, and since the brush head of the brush 261 is soft, resistance caused by movement of the opening and closing door 12 can be reduced, and thus the opening and closing door 12 can more smoothly open or close the air outlet 11.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 13, 14 and 15, the shutter 20 may include a mounting seat 21 and a flexible member 26, one end of the flexible member 26 is mounted to the mounting seat 21, and the mounting seat 21 may provide a stable mounting environment for the flexible member 26. The flexible member 26 is easily deformed, and resistance to opening and closing the door 12 can be reduced. For example, the flexible member 26 may be a brush 261, a soft or thin film, or the like.

By the shutter 20 being a separate piece, for example, when the shutter 20 needs to be replaced, only the flexible member 26 can be replaced without replacing the mounting seat 21, i.e. without replacing the shutter 20 as a whole. Furthermore, the mounting 21 can cooperate with different types of flexible members 26 to facilitate the usability of the shield 20. And in some specific embodiments, one end of the flexible member 26 may be fixed in the mounting seat 21 by an adhesive, so that the working state of the flexible member 26 may be more stable.

The other end of the flexible member 26 may be adapted to be in contact-fit with the other of the air outlet frame 10 and the switch door 12 in a state in which the switch door 12 opens the air outlet 11. When the shielding member 20 is mounted on the air outlet frame 10, the other end of the flexible member 26 is in contact fit with the switch door 12. When the shielding member 20 is installed on the opening and closing door 12, the other end of the flexible member 26 is in contact fit with the air outlet frame 10. Therefore, the shielding piece 20 can effectively reduce the gap between the switch door 12 and the air outlet frame 10, and the shielding effect can be better.

In some embodiments where the shield 20 includes a mounting 21, the mounting 21 may be provided with a receiving slot 22, as shown in fig. 15, 16 and 17, and the shield 20 may also include a tab 25, e.g., the tab 25 may be an elongated sheet or the like. The flexible piece 26 can be the brush 261, and the brush head of brush 261 takes place the deformation easily to brush 261 is difficult for taking place ageing, long service life. As shown in fig. 13 and 15, the brush 261 may be provided on the blade 25, for example, the brush 261 may be provided vertically on the surface of the blade 25 to facilitate processing of the shield 20. The holding plate 25 is clamped in the holding groove 22, the holding groove 22 can limit the holding plate 25, so that the holding plate 25 is more stable, and the connection mode of the holding plate 25 and the mounting seat 21 is quite simple. In addition, the brush 261 can be arranged in the notch of the containing groove 22 in a penetrating way, so that after the shielding piece 20 is installed, the brush 261 can effectively shield the gap between the switch door 12 and the air outlet frame 10.

For example, in the assembly process of the shielding member 20, the brush 261 can be arranged on the supporting plate 25, and then the supporting plate 25 and the brush 261 are integrally arranged in the accommodating groove 22, so that the supporting plate 25 is easy to deform, the supporting plate 25 and the accommodating groove 22 are easy to install, and the assembly efficiency of the shielding member 20 is improved. And the shutter 20 is simple in structure and strong in operational reliability.

In some embodiments, the tabs 25 may be attached to the walls of the receiving channel 22 by an adhesive, thereby limiting the displacement of the tabs 25 within the receiving channel 22 to avoid affecting the shielding effect of the shield 20.

According to some embodiments of the present utility model, as shown in fig. 2, 5, 6, 7 and 8, one of the air outlet frame 10 and the opening and closing door 12 may be provided with an elongated mounting groove 13, for example, the mounting groove 13 extends in the up-down direction as shown in fig. 5. The shield 20 may include a mounting seat 21 that fits within the mounting slot 13. In the assembly process, the shielding piece 20 can be directly arranged in the mounting groove 13, the connection relation between the shielding piece 20 and the air outlet frame 10 or the switch door 12 is simple, and the mounting efficiency is high. For example, the shielding member 20 can be slidably mounted in the mounting groove 13 along the up-down direction, the mounting process of the shielding member 20 is very convenient, or the shielding member 20 can be directly pressed into the mounting groove 13 along the front-back direction, and the specific mounting mode can be flexibly selected according to the actual situation.

Also, for example, in some embodiments, the shield 20 may be in contact with the slot side of the mounting slot 13, whereby the slot side of the mounting slot 13 may be displaced in the left-right direction as viewed in fig. 5 with respect to the shield 20.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 2 and 5-10, the bottom surface of the mounting groove 13 may be provided with a protrusion 14, the surface of the mounting seat 21 facing the bottom surface of the mounting groove 13 may be provided with a groove 23, and the protrusion 14 may extend into the groove 23, for example, the protrusion 14 may extend into the groove 23 entirely, or may partially extend into the groove 23. The projection 14 abuts against the bottom surface of the groove 23, and the mounting groove 13 can thereby limit the shutter 20 in the groove depth direction. In some embodiments in which the mounting block 21 is provided with a receiving groove 22, as shown in fig. 15-17, a groove 23 is provided opposite the receiving groove 22.

Specifically, for example, in some embodiments, after the shutter 20 is installed in place, a portion of the shutter 20 (such as the flexible member 26) may be in contact engagement with one of the air outlet frame 10 or the switch door 12, and if the shutter 20 continues to displace toward the bottom surface of the mounting slot 13, the shutter 20 is not in contact with the air outlet frame 10 or the switch door 12, and the shutter 20 cannot effectively block the gap between the air outlet frame 10 and the switch door 12. By the projection 14 abutting against the bottom surface of the groove 23, the shutter 20 cannot be displaced toward the bottom surface of the installation groove 13 in the groove depth direction of the installation groove 13, in other words, a part of the shutter 20 is always in effective contact with the air outlet frame 10 or the switch door 12, and thus the shielding effect of the shutter 20 can be ensured.

At the same time, by abutment of the projection 14 with the groove bottom surface of the groove 23, the shutter 20 cannot continue to be displaced toward the groove bottom surface of the mounting groove 13 after the shutter 20 is mounted in place, thereby also functioning as an indication of the mounting of the shutter 20 in place.

In some embodiments in which the groove bottom surface of the mounting groove 13 is provided with the projection 14, the specific configuration of the projection 14 is not particularly limited in the embodiments of the present application. For example, as shown in fig. 5, 6 and 7, the projections 14 may extend in the length direction (up-down direction as shown in fig. 5) of the mounting groove 13, and the projections 14 may have an elongated shape. The projection 14 can thereby limit the shielding member 20 in a longer dimension along the length of the mounting groove 13, ensuring the shielding effect of the shielding member 20. Moreover, the protrusions 14 are in a strip shape, so that the protrusions 14 are structured regularly, contact and matching of the protrusions 14 and the bottom surfaces of the grooves 23 are facilitated, and meanwhile machining and manufacturing of the air outlet frame 10 or the switch door 12 are facilitated.

In some embodiments where the projections 14 are configured in an elongated shape, as shown in fig. 5, 8, 9, and 10, the projection height (in the front-rear direction as shown in fig. 9) of at least one end (i.e., one end in the length direction) of the projections 14 may decrease in a direction away from the middle of the projections 14, for example, may decrease straight in a direction away from the middle of the projections 14. The middle part refers to the middle position of the protrusion 14 in the length direction, and may be any position between the middle position and the two ends of the protrusion 14. And the decreasing structure may be provided at either end of the protrusion 14, or may be provided at both ends of the protrusion 14.

Thus, for example, in the process of installing the shutter 20 in the up-down direction, since one end of the projection 14 is provided with the decreasing configuration, the structural interference between the projection 14 and the bottom surface of the groove 23 in the height direction can be reduced, ensuring that the projection 14 can smoothly extend into the groove 23 at the initial stage of installing the shutter 20, and ensuring that the shutter 20 can be smoothly installed.

In some embodiments where the projections 14 are configured as elongated shapes, as shown in fig. 7 and 8, the width of the projections 14 perpendicular to the projection height (left-right direction as viewed in fig. 7) may decrease in a direction away from the middle of the projections 14. For example, may decrease straight away from the middle of the projection 14. The middle part refers to the middle position of the protrusion 14 in the length direction, and may be any position between the middle position and the two ends of the protrusion 14.

Thus, for example, in the process of installing the shielding member 20 in the up-down direction or the front-back direction, structural interference between the protrusion 14 and the wall of the groove 23 can be reduced, so that the shielding member 20 can be ensured to be installed initially, the protrusion 14 can smoothly extend into the groove 23, smooth installation of the shielding member 20 is ensured, and the installation efficiency of the shielding member 20 is improved.

Alternatively, in some embodiments in which the projections 14 are configured in an elongated shape, the projection height of at least one end of the projections 14 may decrease in a direction away from the middle of the projections 14, and the width of the projections 14 perpendicular to the projection height may decrease in a direction away from the middle of the projections 14, thereby mounting the shade 20 from the up-down direction or from the left-right direction, enabling smoother mounting of the shade 20 and higher mounting efficiency of the shade 20.

Also, in some embodiments in which the groove bottom surface of the mounting groove 13 is provided with the projections 14, as shown in fig. 5 and 6, 7 and 8, the groove bottom surface of the mounting groove 13 may be provided with a plurality of projections 14 arranged at intervals along the length direction of the mounting groove 13, in other words, a plurality of projections 14 arranged at intervals along the length direction of the mounting groove 13. The projections 14 can thus bear against the bottom surface of the recess 23 in the longitudinal direction, for example the projections 14 can be arranged at even intervals in the longitudinal direction, with a good limit effect on the screen 20. In addition, the plurality of protrusions 14 are spaced, which is beneficial to saving the material of the product and reducing the manufacturing cost of the air conditioner 100.

In some embodiments in which the bottom surface of the mounting groove 13 is provided with a plurality of protrusions 14, as shown in fig. 5 and 6, and fig. 7 and 8, two adjacent protrusions 14 may be connected by a reinforcing rib 15, and the plurality of protrusions 14 may be connected end to end by providing the reinforcing rib 15. Thereby improving the overall structural strength of the mounting groove structure (i.e., the mounting groove 13 including the protrusions 14), avoiding deformation of the mounting groove structure during use, and avoiding affecting normal installation of the shield 20 due to deformation of the mounting groove structure.

For example, in some embodiments, two reinforcing ribs 15 are disposed between two adjacent protrusions 14, the two reinforcing ribs 15 are both in a strip-shaped structure, and two ends of the strip-shaped structure are respectively connected with two ends of two adjacent protrusions 14, so that the structural strength of the mounting groove structure is effectively improved, and the structure of the reinforcing ribs 15 is quite simple.

In order to make the shield 20 more stable after installation, in some embodiments of the utility model, as shown in figures 2, 5, 6, 8, 10 and 12, the slot sides of the mounting slot 13 may be provided with snaps 16, e.g. the snaps 16 may be raised structures on the slot sides or the like. The surface of the mounting seat 21 facing the side of the mounting groove 13 may be provided with a locking groove 24, and the buckle 16 may be locked in the locking groove 24.

Specifically, the buckle 16 cooperates with the clamping groove 24, so that the shielding member 20 can achieve a limiting effect along the groove depth direction (the front-rear direction as shown in fig. 5) of the mounting groove 13, and the shielding member 20 can be more stable after being mounted.

Also, in some embodiments in which the mount 21 is provided with the groove 23 and the mount groove 13 is provided in the air outlet frame 10, as shown in fig. 2 and 12, the protrusion 14 in the mount groove 13 abuts against the bottom surface of the groove 23 to apply a force toward the opening and closing door 12 to the bottom surface of the groove 23. Meanwhile, the buckle 16 is in clamping connection with the clamping groove 24, and the buckle 16 can apply force towards the air outlet frame 10 to the groove peripheral surface of the clamping groove 24, so that the displacement of the shielding piece 20 in the front-rear direction can be effectively limited.

In some embodiments where the mounting base 21 is provided with the accommodating groove 22, the opening direction of the clamping groove 24 is perpendicular to the opening direction of the accommodating groove 22, so that the structural design of the mounting base 21 can be more reasonable.

In some specific embodiments, as shown in fig. 13, 15 and 16, the slot 24 may be a through slot extending along the length direction of the mounting seat 21, so that any position of the buckle 16 and the slot 24 can be matched, and the setting position of the buckle 16 is more flexible. Further, the card slot 24 is a through slot, which facilitates the processing and manufacturing of the card slot 24.
