Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0030] The following is combined Figures 1 to 7 This invention describes an air guide plate assembly for an air conditioner and an air conditioner according to embodiments of the present invention. It should be understood that the following description is merely an illustrative embodiment of the present invention and does not constitute any particular limitation on the present invention.

[0031] An embodiment of the first aspect of this utility model provides an air guide plate assembly for an air conditioner, such as... Figures 1 to 6 As shown, it includes: an indoor air conditioning unit 100, on which a horizontal air vent 110 and a downward air vent 120 are provided; an air guide plate structure, which is connected to the horizontal air vent 110 and the downward air vent 120; and a control device, which is connected to the air guide plate structure. The control device is used to adjust the state of the air guide plate structure based on the working mode of the indoor air conditioning unit 100, so that hot air is blown downward through the downward air vent 120 in the heating mode, or cold air is blown horizontally through the horizontal air vent 110 in the cooling mode.

[0032] The air conditioner air guide plate assembly provided by this utility model includes an indoor air conditioner unit 100, an air guide plate structure, and a control device. The indoor air conditioner unit 100 is provided with a horizontal air guide port 110 and a downward air guide port 120. The air guide plate structure is connected to the horizontal air guide port 110 and the downward air guide port 120, and is used to block or open the horizontal air guide port 110 and the downward air guide port 120. The control device is connected to the air guide plate structure and can adjust the working state of the air guide plate structure according to the working mode of the indoor air conditioner unit 100. Specifically, in heating mode, by adjusting the working state of the air guide plate structure, hot air is blown downward from the downward air guide port. Because hot air has a lower density, blowing hot air downward allows heat to spread quickly and evenly in the space. In cooling mode, by adjusting the working state of the air guide plate structure, cold air is blown horizontally from the horizontal air guide port. On the one hand, this avoids cold air blowing directly on the user; on the other hand, because cold air has a higher density, blowing hot air horizontally allows cold air to sink and spread quickly and evenly in the space. This greatly enhances the user experience.

[0033] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the air guide plate structure includes: a first air guide plate 210, which is rotatably connected to the flat air guide port 110; and a driving device 230, which is connected to the first air guide plate 210 and is used to drive the first air guide plate 210 to rotate.

[0034] In one embodiment of the present invention, the control device is connected to the drive device 230 and is used to control the drive device 230 to drive the first air guide plate 210 in the cooling mode so that the flat air guide port 110 blows cold air.

[0035] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the air guide plate structure also includes: a second air guide plate 220, which is rotatably connected to the first air guide plate 210; and a linkage limiting structure, which is set between the first air guide plate 210 and the second air guide plate 220. The first air guide plate 210 drives the second air guide plate 220 to rotate through the linkage limiting structure. In the cooling mode, the second air guide plate 220 keeps blocking the downward air guide port 120, and the first air guide plate 210 opens the horizontal air guide port 110. In the heating mode, the first air guide plate 210 moves away from the horizontal air guide port 110 and the downward air guide port 120, and the second air guide plate 220 opens the downward air guide port 120 and blocks the horizontal air guide port 110.

[0036] In a more specific embodiment, such as Figure 7As shown, the linkage limiting structure includes: a first sector-shaped limiting block 310, which is disposed on the first air guide plate 210; and a second sector-shaped limiting block 320, which is disposed on the second air guide plate 220. The center of the second sector-shaped limiting block 320 coincides with the center of the first sector-shaped limiting block 310, and the second sector-shaped limiting block 320 and the first sector-shaped limiting block 310 are offset and limited, so that a linkage limiting angle is formed between the first air guide plate 210 and the second air guide plate 220.

[0037] In another embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 6 As shown, the linkage limiting structure also includes a reset damper 330, which is connected between the first air guide plate 210 and the second air guide plate 220 to keep the first air guide plate 210 and the second air guide plate 220 in a fully open state without external force.

[0038] In another embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 7 As shown, the central angle of the first sector-shaped limiting block 310 is 90°; the central angle of the second sector-shaped limiting block 320 is 90°; and the linkage limiting angle is 90°.

[0039] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the horizontal air vent 110 and the downward air vent 120 are arranged perpendicularly to each other; when the indoor unit 100 of the air conditioner is in the off state, the angle between the first air guide plate 210 and the second air guide plate 220 is 90°; when in the maximum open state, the angle between the first air guide plate 210 and the second air guide plate 220 is 180°.

[0040] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the second air guide plate 220 is rotatably connected to the first air guide plate 210. A first sector-shaped limiting block 310 is provided at the connection end between the first air guide plate 210 and the second air guide plate 220; a second sector-shaped limiting block 320 is provided at the connection end between the second air guide plate 220 and the first air guide plate 210. The centers of the first sector-shaped limiting block 310 and the second sector-shaped limiting block 320 overlap and are offset from each other, with a central angle of 90°. Therefore, the relative rotation angle between them is 90°, i.e., the linkage limiting angle between them is 90°. The reset damper 330 is a torsion spring. Without external force, the torsion spring can drive the first air guide plate 210 to rotate away from the second air guide plate 220 until the included angle between them reaches 180°. That is, in the extreme open state, the angle between the first air guide plate 210 and the second air guide plate 220 is 180°.

[0041] Assuming the indoor unit 100 of the air conditioner is mounted on a wall side, the horizontal air vent 110 on the indoor unit 100 is positioned on a vertical plane, and the downward air vent 120 is positioned on a horizontal plane. The horizontal air vent 110 and the downward air vent 120 together form an L-shaped air vent structure. A first air guide plate 210 is rotatably mounted at the horizontal air vent 110, and a second air guide plate 220 is rotatably mounted at the downward air vent 120. A drive device 230 is connected to the first air guide plate 210, and the second air guide plate 220 is rotatably connected to the first air guide plate 210. A linkage limiting structure is provided between the first air guide plate 210 and the second air guide plate 220. Under the action of the linkage limiting structure, the first air guide plate 210 can rotate independently within a certain angle range. Beyond this angle range, the first air guide plate 210 can drive the second air guide plate 220 to rotate synchronously.

[0042] When the indoor unit 100 of the air conditioner is in the off state, the first air guide plate 210 is in a vertical state, and the second air guide plate 220 is in a horizontal state, that is, the angle between the first guide plate and the second guide plate is 90°. Alternatively, when the indoor unit 100 of the air conditioner is in the off state, the angle between the first air guide plate 210 and the horizontal plane is 90°, and the angle between the second air guide plate 220 and the horizontal plane is 0°. Under the action of the linkage limiting structure, the first air guide plate 210 can rotate independently between 90° and 180°. Beyond 180°, the first air guide plate 210 can drive the second air guide plate 220 to rotate synchronously. In other words, when the first air guide plate 210 reaches 180°, the angle between the first air guide plate 210 and the second air guide plate 220 is 180°. Afterward, as the first air guide plate 210 continues to rotate, the second air guide plate 220 can rotate synchronously with the first air guide plate 210.

[0043] When the indoor unit 100 of the air conditioner switches from the off state to the cooling mode, the control device controls the drive device 230, such as a motor, to drive the first air guide plate 210 to rotate independently 90° clockwise to a horizontal state, and the second air guide plate 220 remains in a horizontal state to block the downward air guide port 120. At this time, the first air guide plate 210 rotates to a horizontal state so that the cold air is blown out horizontally from the horizontal air guide port 110.

[0044] When the indoor unit 100 of the air conditioner switches from cooling mode to heating mode, the control device controls the drive device 230 to drive the first air guide plate 210 to continue to rotate clockwise by 90°. The first air guide plate 210 can simultaneously drive the second air guide plate 220 to rotate synchronously by 90°. The second air guide plate 220 rotates to a vertical position and blocks the horizontal air guide port 110. The first air guide plate 210 rotates to a vertical position and is located next to the downward air guide port 120, so that hot air is blown downward from the downward air guide port 120.

[0045] When the indoor unit 100 of the air conditioner switches from the off state to the heating mode, the control device controls the drive device 230 to drive the first air guide plate 210 to rotate 90° clockwise first, and then drive the second air guide plate 220 to rotate 90° clockwise simultaneously, so that the first air guide plate 210 and the second air guide plate 220 are both in a vertical state. The second air guide plate 220 blocks the horizontal air guide port 110, and the first air guide plate 210 is vertically set on the side of the downward air guide port 120 so that hot air is blown downward from the downward air guide port 120.

[0046] In one embodiment of the present invention, the air guide plate assembly for air conditioning further includes: a lower limiting piece 400, the lower limiting piece 400 being disposed at the downward air guide port 120, and the second air guide plate 220 being able to be limited to the lower limiting piece 400 so that the second air guide plate 220 completely blocks the downward air guide port 120.

[0047] When the indoor unit 100 of the air conditioner switches from the cooling mode to the off state, the control device controls the drive device 230 to drive the first air guide plate 210 to rotate 90° counterclockwise so that the first air guide plate 210 blocks the horizontal air guide port 110. Under the limiting action of the lower limit plate 400, the second air guide plate 220 remains to block the downward air guide port 120.

[0048] When the indoor unit 100 of the air conditioner switches from heating mode to off mode, the control device controls the drive device 230 to drive the first air guide plate 210 to rotate counterclockwise by 90°, and the second air guide plate 220 rotates counterclockwise by 90° synchronously with the first air guide plate 210. At this time, the second air guide plate 220 rotates to a horizontal state and blocks the downward air vent 120. The drive device 230 drives the first air guide plate 210 to continue rotating counterclockwise by 90° to a vertical state. At this time, the first air guide plate 210 vertically blocks the horizontal air vent 110, and under the action of the lower limit plate 400, the second air guide plate 220 can maintain the blockage of the downward air vent 120.

[0049] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and not to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
