AIR CONDITIONER OUTLET ASSEMBLY

摘要

A fluid deflecting assembly is disclosed primarily for use in an outlet port of an air conditioning unit for controlling the direction of an air flow discharged from the outlet port. The fluid deflecting assembly comprises a tubular body having a flow passage for passing a fluid flow axially therethrough, a nozzle body mounted on the tubular body and having a nozzle disposed downstream of the flow passage in a direction of the fluid flow, a restriction surface extending downstream of the flow passage in surrounding relation to the nozzle, and a guide wall surface extending downstream of the nozzle and flaring radially outwardly from the nozzle in surrounding relation thereto, and a bias flow shield disposed in the flow passage upstream of and radially outwardly of the nozzle for adjustably blocking a portion of a bias fluid flow directed by the restriction surface toward the nozzle. A fluid flow discharged out of the nozzle is deflected by the bias fluid flow as modified by the bias flow shield so as to be attached to the guide wall surface. The discharged fluid flow can be deflected in desired three-dimensional directions through a wide angle by rotating and/or axially moving the bias flow shield.
