Referring to fig. 1, 2 and 3, an air outlet assembly 100 of an air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present invention includes an outer cylinder 1 and an inner cylinder 2 located in the outer cylinder 1, the outer cylinder 1 is provided with a first air outlet 11 and a second air outlet 12, referring to fig. 4 and 5, an air supply duct 4 is formed in the inner cylinder 2, the inner cylinder 2 is provided with a third air outlet 21 and a fourth air outlet 22 communicated with the air supply duct 4, the outer cylinder 1 and the inner cylinder 2 can move relative to each other, and a purification module 3 is disposed at the first air outlet 11 or the second air outlet 12. Taking the purifying module 3 disposed at the first air outlet 11 as an example, as shown in fig. 4, when the air conditioner needs to purify air while air conditioning, the outer cylinder 1 and the inner cylinder 2 move relatively to a first relative position, the first air outlet 11 is communicated with the third air outlet 21, the second air outlet 12 is blocked by the inner cylinder 2, and the fourth air outlet 22 is blocked by the outer cylinder 1, so that the air flow in the air conditioner is blown into the room sequentially through the air supply duct 4, the third air outlet 21, the first air outlet 11 and the purifying module 3, and the air conditioning and purifying functions are achieved; as shown in fig. 5, when the indoor temperature needs to be simply adjusted, the outer cylinder 1 and the inner cylinder 2 move relatively to the second relative position, the second air outlet 12 is communicated with the fourth air outlet 22, the first air outlet 11 is blocked by the inner cylinder 2, and the third air outlet 21 is blocked by the outer cylinder 1, so that the air flow in the air conditioner is blown into the room through the air supply duct 4, the fourth air outlet 22 and the second air outlet 12 in sequence, and the indoor temperature is simply adjusted. Compared with the prior art, the air conditioner has the advantages that the air flow channel for purifying air is changed when the air conditioner is used for simply adjusting the room temperature and adjusting the room temperature, whether the air conditioner purifies the air or not can be flexibly controlled, and the air flow does not pass through the purification module 3 when the room temperature is simply adjusted, so that the air inlet or the air outlet of the air conditioner cannot be influenced. In addition, because the purification module 3 is arranged at the first air outlet 11 or the second air outlet 12, but not in the air duct of the air conditioner, the size and specification of the purification module 3 are not limited by the space in the air duct, and the arrangement is convenient and flexible.
It should be noted that the purification module 3 is disposed at the first air outlet 11 or the second air outlet 12. The above describes the process of the air conditioner air outlet assembly 100 for adjusting the room temperature and purifying the air, taking the purifying module 3 disposed at the first air outlet 11 as an example. The situation is similar when the purification module 3 is arranged at the second air outlet 12. Specifically, when the air conditioner needs to purify air while air conditioning, the outer cylinder 1 and the inner cylinder 2 move relatively to a second relative position, the second air outlet 12 is communicated with the fourth air outlet 22, the first air outlet 11 is blocked by the inner cylinder 2, and the third air outlet 21 is blocked by the outer cylinder 1, so that air flow in the air conditioner is blown into a room sequentially through the air supply duct 4, the fourth air outlet 22, the second air outlet 12 and the purification module 3, and the air purification function is realized while air conditioning is performed; when the indoor temperature needs to be adjusted simply, the outer cylinder 1 and the inner cylinder 2 move relatively to the first relative position, the first air outlet 11 is communicated with the third air outlet 21, the second air outlet 12 is blocked by the inner cylinder 2, and the fourth air outlet 22 is blocked by the outer cylinder 1, so that the air flow in the air conditioner is blown into the room through the air supply duct 4, the third air outlet 21 and the first air outlet 11 in sequence, and the indoor temperature is adjusted simply. In addition, the relative movement of the outer cylinder 1 and the inner cylinder 2 can be that the outer cylinder 1 does not move and the inner cylinder 2 moves, or the outer cylinder 1 moves and the inner cylinder 2 does not move, or the outer cylinder 1 and the inner cylinder 2 both move, but the movement mode, speed and other parameters are different.
Because the outer cylinder 1 and the inner cylinder 2 move relatively and need to be respectively contrasted and plugged at the corresponding first relative position and the second relative position, in order to realize the relative movement and facilitate the layout, as shown in fig. 1, the outer cylinder 1 and the inner cylinder 2 are both cylindrical structures, and the outer cylinder 1 and the inner cylinder 2 are coaxially arranged and can relatively rotate to the first relative position and the second relative position. Therefore, the outer cylinder 1 and the inner cylinder 2 which are coaxially arranged and have a cylindrical structure rotate relatively, the outer cylinder 1 and the inner cylinder 2 can be located at a first relative position and a second relative position, the inner wall of the outer cylinder 1 and the outer wall of the inner cylinder 2 can conveniently plug the corresponding air outlet, and the air outlet is easy to realize.
When the outer cylinder 1 and the inner cylinder 2 are cylindrical structures, a first air outlet 11 and a second air outlet 12 are arranged on the outer cylinder 1; and the third outlet 21 and the fourth outlet 22 on the inner cylinder 2 can be arranged in various ways, for example, the first outlet 11 and the second outlet 12 are arranged on the sidewall of the outer cylinder 1, and the third outlet 21 and the fourth outlet 22 are arranged on the sidewall of the inner cylinder 2 corresponding to the first outlet 11 and the second outlet 12, respectively;
or, the first outlet 11 and the second outlet 12 are disposed at the end of the outer cylinder 1, and the third outlet 21 and the fourth outlet 22 are disposed at the end of the inner cylinder 2 corresponding to the first outlet 11 and the second outlet 12, respectively;
or, the first air outlet 11 is disposed on the side wall of the outer cylinder 1, the second air outlet 12 is disposed at the end of the outer cylinder 1, the third air outlet 21 is disposed on the side wall of the inner cylinder 2 corresponding to the first air outlet 11, and the fourth air outlet 22 is disposed at the end of the inner cylinder 2 corresponding to the second air outlet 12.
Referring to fig. 1, 4 and 5, since the outer cylinder 1 and the inner cylinder 2 which are coaxially arranged and have a cylindrical structure rotate relatively, the air outlet arranged on the side wall of the outer cylinder 1 or the inner cylinder 2 can be easily plugged; the air outlets provided at the ends of the outer and inner cylinders 1 and 2 need to be implemented by a specific structure. Therefore, in order to ensure that the air outlets arranged at the end of the outer cylinder 1 or the inner cylinder 2 can be opened or closed correctly, taking the scheme that the second air outlet 12 is arranged at the end of the outer cylinder 1 and the fourth air outlet 22 is arranged at the end of the inner cylinder 2 corresponding to the second air outlet 12 as an example, as shown in fig. 2, the first air outlet 11 is arranged on the side wall of the outer cylinder 1, the second air outlet 12 is arranged on the top wall of the outer cylinder 2 and is close to the edge of the top wall of the outer cylinder 2, and the outlet area of the second air outlet 12 is not more than half of the area of the top wall of the outer cylinder 1; as shown in fig. 3, the third outlet 21 is disposed on the side wall of the inner cylinder 2, the fourth outlet 22 is disposed on the top wall of the inner cylinder 2 and close to the edge of the top wall of the inner cylinder 2, and the outlet area of the fourth outlet 22 is not more than half of the area of the top wall of the inner cylinder 2.
Thus, referring to fig. 4, when the outer cylinder 1 and the inner cylinder 2 rotate relatively to the first relative position, the first air outlet 11 is communicated with the third air outlet 21, the second air outlet 12 is blocked by the top wall of the inner cylinder 2 at the side where the fourth air outlet 22 is not arranged, and the fourth air outlet 22 is blocked by the top wall of the outer cylinder 1 at the side where the second air outlet 11 is arranged; referring to fig. 5, when the outer cylinder 1 and the inner cylinder 2 are relatively moved to the second relative position, the second outlet 12 provided on the top wall of the outer cylinder 1 and the fourth outlet 22 provided on the top wall of the inner cylinder 2 are communicated, the first outlet 11 is blocked by the side wall of the inner cylinder 2, and the third outlet 21 is blocked by the side wall of the outer cylinder 1.
Because the purification module 3 is arranged at the first air outlet 11 or the second air outlet 12 of the outer barrel 1, the purification module 3 can be conveniently installed, and when the purification module 3 is used for a period of time, the purification module is convenient to disassemble, clean or replace. In order to further facilitate the installation or removal of the purification module 3 when the outer tub 1 is of a cylindrical structure, as shown in fig. 1, the purification module 3 is disposed on the top wall of the outer tub 1 and detachably connected to the outer tub 1.
It should be noted that the detachable connection manner of the purification module 3 and the outer cylinder 1 can be any one of known detachable connection manners, such as a snap connection, a screw connection, etc., and is not limited herein.
In order to further improve the air purifying effect and prevent indoor dust from entering the purifying module 3, as shown in fig. 1, a protective cover 31 is provided outside the purifying module 3.
The outer cylinder 1 and the inner cylinder 2 are both cylindrical structures, and the outer cylinder 1 and the inner cylinder 2 are coaxially arranged and can relatively rotate to a first relative position and a second relative position. The outer cylinder 1 and the inner cylinder 2 rotate relatively, and the outer cylinder 1 may be stationary, the inner cylinder 2 may rotate, or the outer cylinder 1 may rotate and the inner cylinder 2 may be stationary, or the outer cylinder 1 and the inner cylinder 2 may both rotate, but parameters such as the angle and/or the speed of rotation are different. The outer cylinder 1 is fixed, and the inner cylinder 2 rotates in a mode that the outer cylinder 1 is fixedly connected with a shell of an air conditioner, and the inner cylinder 2 is rotatably connected with the outer cylinder 1 or a shell of the air conditioner;
the outer cylinder 1 rotates, the inner cylinder 2 is immovable, the inner cylinder 2 is fixedly connected with the shell of the air conditioner, and the outer cylinder 1 is rotatably connected with the inner cylinder 2 or the shell of the air conditioner.
Of course, in order to automatically control and drive the movement (including rotation) of the outer cylinder 1 and/or the inner cylinder 2, a driving device is further included, and the driving device is used for driving the relative movement of the outer cylinder 1 and the inner cylinder 2 to the first relative position or the second relative position.
The driving device may be a power component such as a motor, and the driving device drives the outer cylinder 1 and/or the inner cylinder 2 to move (including rotate) through a gear-rack structure, a transmission belt, a transmission chain, or other structures.
On the other hand, an embodiment of the present invention further provides a packaged air conditioner, as shown in fig. 6, including the air outlet assembly 100 of the air conditioner.
As shown in fig. 6, the cabinet air conditioner according to the embodiment of the present invention includes the air outlet assembly 100, so that the same technical effects are achieved, that is, whether the air conditioner purifies air or not can be flexibly controlled, and influence on air inlet or air outlet when the room temperature is simply adjusted is avoided, and the arrangement is convenient and flexible. Specifically, reference may be made to fig. 7 and fig. 8, which are not repeated herein, where fig. 7 is a schematic structural diagram when the outer cylinder 1 and the inner cylinder 2 of the air outlet assembly 100 of the air conditioner move relatively to a first relative position, and fig. 8 is a schematic structural diagram when the outer cylinder 1 and the inner cylinder 2 of the air outlet assembly 100 of the air conditioner move relatively to a second relative position.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 6, the air conditioner includes a cylindrical housing 200, a heat exchange air duct 300 is formed in the housing 200, an air inlet 201 communicated with the heat exchange air duct 300 is formed below the housing 200, the air outlet assembly 100 of the air conditioner is arranged at the upper end of the housing 200, and the air supply air duct 4 of the air outlet assembly 200 of the air conditioner is communicated with the heat exchange air duct 300. Since the cabinet air conditioner is generally placed on the ground, the air outlet is generally disposed at an upper position of the cabinet air conditioner in order to facilitate air outlet and meet living habits of people. Therefore, the air conditioner outlet assembly 100 is disposed at the upper end of the casing 200.
It should be noted that, as shown in fig. 6, in order to improve the air intake effect of the packaged air conditioner, two air inlets 201 are provided. The fan for providing wind power in the heat exchange air duct 300 may be a fan commonly used in an air conditioner, such as a centrifugal fan and an axial flow fan, as shown in fig. 7 and 8, a centrifugal fan 400 is disposed in the heat exchange air duct 300, and thus, in order to match with the axial air intake principle of the centrifugal fan 400, two air inlets 201 are disposed at two axial sides of the centrifugal fan.
In addition, the air outlet assembly 100 of the air conditioner provided by the embodiment of the invention can be applied to a cabinet air conditioner, a wall-mounted air conditioner, a multifunctional air outlet device with an air purification function and the like.
