Detailed Description of the Embodiments
[0020] The following clearly and completely describes the technical solutions in the embodiments
of the present disclosure with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the
present disclosure. Obviously, the described embodiments are merely a part rather
than all of the embodiments of the present disclosure. All other embodiments obtained
by a person of skilled in the art on the basis of the embodiments of the present disclosure
without inventive efforts shall belong to the scope of protection of the present disclosure.
[0021] Embodiments of the present disclosure provide an air outlet flow guiding structure
13. As shown in Figs. 1 to 4, the air outlet flow guiding structure 13 includes an
outer housing 131. As shown in Fig. 6, the outer housing 131 covers a periphery of
a centrifugal blade 11 to form a flow guiding channel 132, a flow guiding part 133
is provided in the flow guiding channel 132, the flow guiding part 133 is located
at a side, close to an air outlet of the flow guiding channel 132, of the centrifugal
blade 11, and the flow guiding part 133 is provided in a longitudinal direction of
the flow guiding channel 132.
[0022] The solution above provides an air outlet flow guiding structure 13, under the action
of the centrifugal blade 11, air passes through the flow guiding channel 132, as shown
in Fig. 5, the air passing through the centrifugal blade 11 spirally moves in the
outer housing 131 towards the air outlet, as shown in Fig. 6, the flow guiding part
133 which is provided in the longitudinal direction of the air guide channel 132 guides
the spirally moving air to flow towards the air outlet in the longitudinal direction
of the flow guiding channel 132, so as to prevent the airflow from turning around
in the flow guiding channel 132, thereby reducing the air volume loss, and improving
the air purification efficiency.
[0023] Specifically, in the present disclosure, the flow guiding part 133 is provided in
the longitudinal direction of the flow guiding channel 132, which refers to the longitudinal
direction in the state as shown in Fig. 6, so that spirally rising air is able to
be blocked by the flow guiding part 133, thereby the air flows upwards along the flow
guiding parts 133, so as to prevent the airflow from turning around in the inner housing
134, thereby reducing the air volume loss. As shown, for example, in Figs. 1, 3, and
4, the visible portion of the flow guiding part 133 in the front views of the embodiments
is the end face of the flow guiding part 133. When the installation angle of the purifier
10 is shifted, the arrangement direction of the flow guiding part 133 is also shifted
correspondingly. However, the relative position between the flow guiding part 133
and the outer housing 131 remains unchanged, that is, the flow guiding part 133 is
capable of guiding the spirally rising airflow in the flow guiding channel 132, so
that the airflow moves substantially in the axial direction of the outer housing 131.
Specifically, the flow guiding part is a plate-shaped structure. Furthermore, there
are a plurality of flow guiding parts 133, so as to improve the blocking effect on
the spirally rising air and reduce the air volume loss.
[0024] As shown in Figs. 1 to 4, in some embodiments, the flow guiding part 133 is a flow
guiding plate, there are a plurality of flow guiding plates, and the plurality of
guiding plates are provided in the flow guiding channel 132 at uniform intervals in
a circumferential direction. Thus, the air spirally rising in the axial direction
is able to be guided to the air outlet more evenly, further increasing the air output
volume.
[0025] As shown in Fig. 5, in some embodiments, the air outlet flow guiding structure 13
further includes an inner housing 134 for supporting an electric motor 12, the inner
housing 134 is located at a side, close to the air outlet of the flow guiding channel
132, of the centrifugal blades 11, the flow guiding channel 132 is located between
the inner housing 134 and the outer housing 131, and the flow guiding part 133 is
located between the inner housing 134 and the outer housing 131.
[0026] When the inner housing 134 is used to support the electric motor 12, the flow guiding
channel 132 is formed between the inner housing 134 and the outer housing 131, and
the flow guiding part 133 is provided between the inner housing 134 and the outer
housing 131 to guide the air spirally rising in the flow guiding channel 132.
[0027] Specifically, the flow guiding parts 133 can be connected with the outer housing
131, and can also be connected with the inner housing 134; or the flow guiding part
is supported between the outer housing 131 and the inner housing 134, and can support
the inner housing 134 and the outer housing 131, thereby improving the overall strength
of the air outlet flow guiding structure 13. For example, in some embodiments, as
shown in Figs. 1 to 4, the flow guiding part 133 is provided on the inner housing
134, extending in a direction close to the outer housing 131, and is connected with
the outer housing 131.
[0028] Furthermore, on the basis of the existence of the flow guiding part 133, when the
flow guiding part 133 is supported between the inner housing 134 and the outer housing
131, the flow guiding part 133 is a structure with a certain width, as shown in Fig.
4, and then a channel for wires layout is provided in the flow guiding part 133, thereby
omitting the arrangement of a dedicated wire layout channel between the inner housing
134 and the outer housing 131, and further simplifying the structure.
[0029] As shown in Fig. 4, in some embodiments, the flow guiding part 133 is provided with
a wire passing channel, and the wire passing channel penetrates from an end face,
connected with the outer housing 131, of the flow guiding part 133 to an end face,
connected with the inner housing 134, of the flow guiding part 133. The wire connected
to the electric motor 12 in the inner housing 134 is connected to an external circuit
through the wire passing channel, thereby preventing the wire from being exposed in
the flow guiding channel 132 and affecting the air output volume.
[0030] Further, in some embodiments, an outer diameter of the inner housing 134 gradually
decreases in a direction away from the centrifugal blade 11, and a slope of the outer
wall of the inner housing 134 gradually decreases. In this way, the outer wall of
the inner housing 134 forms a shape similar to a reverse bowl, so as to prevent the
airflow in the flow guiding channel 132 from gathering and turning around on the surface
of the inner housing 134, thereby further increasing the air output volume.
[0031] Further, in some embodiments, the flow guiding part 133 is a straight plate or an
arc-shaped plate, as long as the flow guiding part 133 is provided in the longitudinal
direction of the flow guiding channel 132 and can guide the spirally rising airflow
to flow upward.
[0032] Furthermore, in some embodiments, as shown in Figs. 1 to 4, when the flow guiding
part 133 is an arc-shaped plate, the spirally rising air delivered by the centrifugal
blade 11 is blocked by a concave surface of the arc-shaped plate, and flows in the
longitudinal direction of the flow guiding channel 132. The air guided by the flow
guiding part 133 flows along the concave surface of the flow guiding part 133 when
being in contact with the flow guiding part 133, and then flows upwards under the
blocking of the flow guiding part 133, thereby further reducing the energy loss of
the air when being in contact with the flow guiding part 133.
[0033] Further, in some embodiments, as shown in Figs. 1 to 8, the outer housing 131 is
a cylindrical housing, a radius of the cylindrical housing is R, and when the flow
guiding part 133 is an arc-shaped plate, an arc radius of the arc-shaped plate is
While ensuring the guiding effect of the flow guiding part 133 on the air, it also
makes the overall air volume larger. In some embodiments, the arc radius of the R
arc-shaped plate is -.
[0034] Further, some other embodiments provide a purifier 10, as shown in Figs. 6 to 8,
the purifier 10 includes a centrifugal blade 11, an electric motor 12 for driving
the centrifugal blade 11 to rotate, and the air outlet flow guiding structure 13 mentioned
above; and the outer housing 131 covers a periphery of the centrifugal blade 11.
[0035] In the solution above, a purifier 10 is provided, by using the air outlet flow guiding
structure 13 in any one of the described embodiments, the purifier enables the air,
passing through the centrifugal blade 11, to be able to move in the longitudinal direction
of the flow guiding channel 132 under the action of the flow guiding part 133, thereby
avoiding the occurrence of the cases where the air volume is reduced and the air supply
distance is reduced due to the rotation of the air in the flow guiding channel 132,
thereby improving the air purification efficiency.
[0036] Further, in some embodiments, the centrifugal blade 11 is coaxially provided with
the outer housing 131, and the axis of the centrifugal blade 11 is parallel to a side
surface of the flow guiding part 133. In this way, a distribution of the airflow in
the flow guiding channel 132 is more uniform, and the overall air output effect is
better.
[0037] Further, in some embodiments, as shown in Figs. 6 to 8, the purifier 10 further includes
a filtering device 135, and the filtering device 135 is provided at an air inlet of
the flow guiding channel 132 and is in communication with the air inlet.
[0038] Under the driving of the electric motor 12, the centrifugal blade 11 rotates to suck
in outside air, and the outside air passes through the flow guiding channel 132 after
passing through the filtering device 135; and under the action of the flow guiding
part 133, the air spirally rising in the flow guiding channel 132 is guided to be
the air flowing in the longitudinal direction of the flow guiding channel 132, which
reduces the occurrence of air rotating in the flow guiding channel 132, thereby increasing
the air output volume, and improving the purification efficiency.
[0039] Various technical features of the described embodiments can be combined in any way,
and in order to make the description concise, all possible combinations of the technical
features in the described embodiments are not described. However, as long as the combination
of these technical features is not contradictory, the combination should be considered
