Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air conditioning, and in particular to an air conditioner. Background Technology

[0002] Air conditioners in related technologies typically include a housing, a horizontal air guide plate, a first drive motor, and multiple fixing components. The multiple fixing components are respectively located on the left and right sides of the housing. The first drive motor is connected to one end of the horizontal air guide plate. One fixing component is used to fix the first drive motor, and another fixing component is used to fix the other end of the horizontal air guide plate. The first drive motor can drive the horizontal air guide plate to rotate in order to adjust the air outlet direction of the heat exchange airflow.

[0003] Furthermore, the fixing component typically includes a push rod and a second drive motor. The push rod is used to connect to the transverse air guide plate or the first drive motor, and the second drive motor is connected to the push rod to drive the push rod to extend or retract from the housing, which facilitates the assembly of the push rod with the first drive motor or the transverse air guide plate.

[0004] The fixed components need to occupy a certain amount of installation space inside the housing. However, due to the unreasonable layout and installation of the fixed components in related technologies, multiple fixed components occupy a large space inside the housing, which will result in a larger overall size of the air conditioner. This not only leads to poor anti-fall effect but also increases production costs. Utility Model Content

[0005] This utility model aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. Therefore, one objective of this utility model is to provide an air conditioner in which multiple fixed components of the second drive motor are placed on the same side.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, an air conditioner is provided according to an embodiment of the present invention. The air conditioner includes: a housing, the housing having an air inlet and an air outlet; a heat exchanger, the heat exchanger being disposed within the housing and adjacent to the air inlet; a fan assembly, the fan assembly being disposed within the housing and adjacent to the air outlet, the fan assembly driving air to enter the housing from the air inlet, and the air, after exchanging heat with the heat exchanger to form a heat exchange airflow, flowing into the room through the air outlet; a horizontal air guide plate, the horizontal air guide plate being rotatably disposed at the air outlet to adjust the airflow direction of the heat exchange airflow in the vertical direction; a first drive motor, the first drive motor being drivenly connected to the horizontal air guide plate to drive the horizontal air guide plate to rotate; and a plurality of fixing components, the fixing components being disposed within the housing and respectively used to connect the horizontal air guide plate and the air outlet.

[0007] The aforementioned technical solution has the following advantages or beneficial effects: Specifically, the second drive motor of the first fixing component can be located on the outside of the first fixing component, and the second drive motor of the second fixing component can be located on the inside of the second fixing component; that is, the second drive motors of the first and second fixing components can be placed on the same side of the fixing components. This arrangement allows the space between the second fixing component and the heat exchanger to accommodate the second drive motor of the second fixing component, thereby improving the utilization rate of the internal space of the air conditioner, saving internal space, making the internal structure of the air conditioner more compact, and reducing the overall size of the unit. Furthermore, by placing the second drive motor of the first fixing component on the outside of the first fixing component, the second drive motor of the first fixing component can face the side wall of the casing, thus avoiding positional interference between the second drive motor of the first fixing component and the internal components of the air conditioner. In the event of vibration or drop during the transportation or operation of the air conditioner, it can prevent the second drive motor of the first fixing component from colliding with adjacent components, thereby improving the anti-drop effect.

[0008] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the air conditioner further includes: an electrical control box, which is disposed inside the housing and located between one end of the heat exchanger along its length and the first fixing component, wherein the second drive motor of the first fixing component is located on the side of the main body facing away from the electrical control box.

[0009] The above-mentioned technical solution has the following advantages or beneficial effects: when the air conditioner vibrates or falls during transportation or operation, the control box can contact the body of the first fixed component. The contact area between the control box and the body is large, which can prevent the control box from colliding and being damaged, and the anti-fall effect is better.

[0010] According to some embodiments of the present invention, a heat exchanger end plate is provided at the other end of the heat exchanger along its length, and the second drive motor of the second fixing component is located on the side of the body facing the heat exchanger end plate, and the second drive motor of the second fixing component is spaced apart from the heat exchanger end plate.

[0011] The above-mentioned technical solution has the following advantages or beneficial effects: there will be a certain space between the body of the second fixing component and the heat exchanger end plate. By fixing the second drive motor of the second fixing component between the body and the heat exchanger end plate, the internal space of the air conditioner can be fully utilized, so that the internal structure of the air conditioner can be arranged more compactly, which is conducive to improving the utilization rate of the internal space of the casing, thereby reducing the size of the air conditioner as a whole.

[0012] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the housing includes: a base, the body being fixed to the base; an outer cover, the outer cover being connected to the base, and the front side of the outer cover being provided with an assembly opening; one end of the push rod being provided with a fixing part, the fixing part extending from the assembly opening and used to connect the first drive motor or the transverse air guide plate.

[0013] The above-mentioned technical solution has the following advantages or beneficial effects: When assembling the first drive motor or the transverse air guide plate with the push rod, the second drive motor can move the push rod outward from the assembly port, which provides a larger assembly operation space to facilitate fixing the first drive motor or the transverse air guide plate to the fixed part. Then, the push rod is retracted inward, which realizes the assembly of the first drive motor or the transverse air guide plate with the push rod, which is beneficial to the assembly steps and makes the assembly simpler.

[0014] According to some embodiments of the present invention, one end of the transverse air guide plate is provided with a non-circular hole, the first drive motor is fixed to one of the first fixing component and the second fixing component, and the motor shaft of the first drive motor extends into the non-circular hole and is connected to the non-circular hole in a transmission manner to drive the transverse air guide plate to rotate.

[0015] The above-mentioned technical solution has the following advantages or beneficial effects: by extending the motor shaft of the first drive motor into the non-circular hole of the horizontal air guide plate, the transmission connection between the first drive motor and the horizontal air guide plate can be realized. The connection structure is simple. When the first drive motor is running, it can drive the horizontal air guide plate to rotate, thereby driving the horizontal air guide plate to open or close the air outlet, and the air outlet angle can be adjusted by the horizontal air guide plate.

[0016] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the other end of the transverse air guide plate is provided with a rotating shaft, and the fixing part of the other of the first fixing component and the second fixing component is constructed as a rotating shaft hole, and the rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft hole.

[0017] The above-mentioned technical solution has the following advantages or beneficial effects: the end of the horizontal air guide plate away from the first drive motor can be constructed with a rotating shaft. By connecting the rotating shaft with the rotating shaft hole, the horizontal air guide plate and the fixed component can be rotatably connected. When the first drive motor drives the horizontal air guide plate to rotate, the end of the horizontal air guide plate with the rotating shaft can be rotated volutely, thereby realizing the rotation of the horizontal air guide plate to adjust the air outlet direction.

[0018] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the fixing component further includes: a gear set, the push rod having a rack portion extending along its length direction, and the second drive motor engaging with the rack portion through the gear set to drive the push rod to move relative to the body.

[0019] The above-mentioned technical solution has the following advantages or beneficial effects: As a result, the power of the second drive motor can be transmitted to the rack part through the gear set, so that the push rod can be controlled to extend or retract from the assembly port by the second drive motor, and the stability of the push rod movement can be improved by the meshing transmission of the transmission gear and the rack part.

[0020] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the gear set includes: a drive gear, which is connected to the motor shaft of the second drive motor; and an intermediate gear, which meshes with the drive gear and the rack respectively, and the transmission ratio between the drive gear and the intermediate gear is not less than 1.

[0021] The above-mentioned technical solution has the following advantages or beneficial effects: it can enable the drive gear and the intermediate gear to transmit torque at the same speed or reduce speed and increase torque, thereby ensuring that the output torque of the second drive motor is larger and the driving force of the second drive motor is stronger, so as to stably drive the push rod to move through the second drive motor.

[0022] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the intermediate gear includes: a first gear, which meshes with the drive gear and the outer diameter of the first gear is not less than the outer diameter of the drive gear; and a second gear, which is coaxially arranged with the first gear and rotates synchronously, the second gear meshes with the rack portion and the outer diameter of the second gear is greater than the outer diameter of the first gear.

[0023] The above-mentioned technical solution has the following advantages or beneficial effects: When the second drive motor drives the first gear to rotate through the drive gear, the second gear can rotate synchronously with the first gear. Since the outer diameter of the second gear is larger, the first gear and the second gear rotate one revolution. The second gear can drive the rack to move a greater distance, that is, it can drive the push rod to move a greater distance. When the second drive motor outputs power with the same power, the speed and distance of the push rod can be increased through the second gear. The structure is reasonably designed, which can reduce the time for the second drive motor to push the push rod, thus improving inspection efficiency and increasing production capacity.

[0024] An air conditioner is provided according to an embodiment of the present invention. The air conditioner includes: a housing having an air inlet and an air outlet; a heat exchanger disposed within the housing and adjacent to the air inlet; a fan assembly disposed within the housing and adjacent to the air outlet, the fan assembly driving air to enter the housing from the air inlet, and the air flowing into the room through the air outlet after exchanging heat with the heat exchanger to form a heat exchange airflow; a horizontal air guide plate rotatably disposed at the air outlet to adjust the airflow direction of the heat exchange airflow in the vertical direction; and a first drive motor connected to the horizontal air guide plate to drive the horizontal air guide plate. The plate rotates; multiple fixing components are disposed within the housing and are respectively used to connect the transverse air guide plate and the first drive motor; the multiple fixing components are respectively adjacent to the left and right sides of the housing, and each fixing component includes: a body connected to the housing; a push rod movably connected to the body and used to connect the transverse air guide plate or the first drive motor; a second drive motor fixed to the body and drivenly connected to the push rod to drive the push rod to move relative to the body; wherein, the second drive motor of each fixing component is located on the same side of the body.

[0025] The aforementioned technical solution has the following advantages or beneficial effects: This arrangement allows for the use of the space between a fixed component and the heat exchanger to house the second drive motor of the fixed component, thereby improving the utilization rate of the air conditioner's internal space, saving internal space, making the internal structure of the air conditioner more compact, and reducing the overall size of the unit. Furthermore, the second drive motor of the other fixed component is located on the outside of the fixed component, that is, the second drive motor of the fixed component can face the side wall of the casing, thus avoiding positional interference between the drive motor of the fixed component and the internal components of the air conditioner. In the event of vibration or drop during air conditioner transportation or operation, it can prevent the second drive motor of the fixed component from colliding with adjacent components, thereby improving the anti-drop effect.

[0031] In the description of this utility model, "first feature" and "second feature" may include one or more of the features.

[0032] In the description of this utility model, "multiple" means two or more, and "several" means one or more.

[0033] The air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present invention is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The air conditioner 1 in this embodiment can be a wall-mounted air conditioner.

[0034] like Figures 1-10As shown in the attached figure, the front-back direction is the front-back direction of the air conditioner 1, the up direction is the up-down direction of the air conditioner 1, and the left-right direction is the left-right direction of the air conditioner 1.

[0035] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the air conditioner 1 may include a housing 100, which is provided with an air inlet 101 and an air outlet 102, so that indoor air can enter the housing 100 through the air inlet 101 and flow out through the air outlet 102.

[0036] The air conditioner 1 may include a heat exchanger, which is located inside the housing 100 and adjacent to the air inlet 101. In this way, the air entering the housing 100 from the air inlet 101 can exchange heat with the heat exchanger and form a heat exchange airflow. The heat exchange airflow then flows into the room through the air outlet 102 to achieve heating or cooling of the room.

[0037] The air conditioner 1 may include a fan assembly, which is located inside the housing 100 and adjacent to the air outlet 102. The fan assembly drives air to enter the housing 100 from the air inlet 101, and after exchanging heat with the heat exchanger to form a heat exchange airflow, the air flows into the room through the air outlet 102. In this way, the fan assembly can increase the airflow speed and make the airflow more orderly, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency between the air and the heat exchanger.

[0038] The air conditioner 1 may include a horizontal air guide plate 200, which is rotatably disposed at the air outlet 102 to adjust the air outlet direction of the heat exchange airflow in the vertical direction. By adjusting the angle of the horizontal air guide plate 200, the airflow direction at the air outlet 102 can be changed to achieve multi-angle air supply. This can not only distribute the air evenly to all corners of the room, but also avoid direct airflow, which is beneficial to improving the user experience.

[0039] The air conditioner 1 may include a first drive motor 300, which is connected to a horizontal air guide plate 200 to drive the horizontal air guide plate 200 to rotate. That is, the first drive motor 300 can drive the horizontal air guide plate 200 to open or close, and can adjust the angle of the horizontal air guide plate 200, thereby adjusting the size of the air outlet 102, and thus controlling the air volume and angle at the air outlet 102, resulting in a better user experience. Furthermore, when the air conditioner 1 is turned off, the first drive motor 300 can drive the horizontal air guide plate 200 to close the air outlet 102, thus preventing dust and impurities from entering the housing 100 through the air outlet 102 when the air conditioner 1 is off, ensuring the cleanliness of the interior of the air conditioner 1.

[0040] The air conditioner 1 may include multiple fixing components 400, which are disposed within the housing 100 and are respectively used to connect the horizontal air guide plate 200 and the first drive motor 300. That is, one fixing component 400 is used to fix the first drive motor 300, which can be connected to one end of the horizontal air guide plate 200, and another fixing component 400 is used to connect to the other end of the horizontal air guide plate 200.

[0041] The plurality of fixing components 400 may include a first fixing component 410 and a second fixing component 420, the first fixing component 410 being adjacent to a first sidewall 122 of the housing 100 and the second fixing component 420 being adjacent to a second sidewall 123 of the housing 100, and each fixing component 400 may include a body 430 connected to the housing 100. For example, the body 430 and the housing 100 may be connected by bolts, but are not limited thereto.

[0042] The first sidewall 122 can be the left side of the housing 100, and the second sidewall can be the right side of the housing 100; or, the first sidewall 122 can be the right side of the housing 100, and the second sidewall can be the left side of the housing 100. That is to say, the first fixing component 410 and the second fixing component 420 can be respectively provided on the left and right sides of the housing 100.

[0043] Specifically, each fixed component 400 may include a push rod 440, which is movably connected to the body 430 and is used to connect the transverse air guide plate 200 or the first drive motor 300.

[0044] In other words, the transverse air guide plate 200 can be rotatably connected to the push rod 440, so that the transverse air guide plate 200 can rotate relative to the push rod 440; or, the first drive motor 300 can be fixed to the push rod 440, and the first drive motor 300 is connected to the transverse air guide plate 200 in a transmission connection, so that the first drive motor 300 can drive the transverse air guide plate 200 to rotate.

[0045] In addition, each fixed component 400 may include a second drive motor 460, which is fixed to the body 430 and is connected to the push rod 440 in a transmission connection to drive the push rod 440 to move relative to the body 430.

[0046] For example, the second drive motor 460 and the body 430 can be connected by screws, but are not limited to this.

[0047] The push rod 440 can move in the front-back direction under the drive of the second drive motor 460. When assembling the first drive motor 300 with the fixing component 400, the second drive motor 460 can drive the push rod 440 to extend forward out of the housing 100, which provides a larger assembly operation space to fix the first drive motor 300 to the push rod 440. Then, the push rod 440 can be retracted inward to complete the assembly of the first drive motor 300. This simplifies the assembly steps of the first drive motor 300 and makes the assembly simpler.

[0048] The second drive motor 460 of the first fixing component 410 is located on the side of the body 430 facing the first sidewall 122, and the second drive motor 460 of the second fixing component 420 is located on the side of the body 430 facing away from the second sidewall 123.

[0049] In other words, the second drive motor 460 of the first fixing component 410 can be located on the outside of the first fixing component 410, and the second drive motor 460 of the second fixing component 420 can be located on the inside of the second fixing component 420. That is, the second drive motor 460 of the first fixing component 410 and the second drive motor 460 of the second fixing component 420 can be placed on the same side of the fixing component 400. This arrangement allows the space between the second fixing component 420 and the heat exchanger to accommodate the second drive motor 460 of the second fixing component 420, thereby improving the utilization rate of the internal space of the air conditioner 1, saving internal space, making the internal structure of the air conditioner more compact, and reducing the overall size of the unit.

[0050] Furthermore, by placing the second drive motor 460 of the first fixing component 410 on the outside of the first fixing component 410, the second drive motor 460 of the first fixing component 410 can face the side wall of the housing 100, thereby avoiding positional interference between the second drive motor 460 of the first fixing component 410 and the internal components of the air conditioner 1. When the air conditioner 1 vibrates or falls during transportation or operation, it can avoid collision between the second drive motor 460 of the first fixing component 410 and its adjacent components, thereby improving the anti-fall effect.

[0051] For example, the air conditioner 1 typically also includes an electrical control box 500. The electrical control box 500 can be located between one end of the heat exchanger along its length and the first fixing component 410. The second drive motor 460 of the first fixing component 410 is located on the side of the main body 430 facing away from the electrical control box 500. This avoids positional interference between the second drive motor 460 of the first fixing component 410 and the electrical control box 500. Thus, when the air conditioner 1 experiences vibration or falls during transportation or operation, the electrical control box 500 can contact the main body 430 of the first fixing component 410. The contact area between the electrical control box 500 and the main body 430 is relatively large, thereby preventing collision damage between the electrical control box 500 and the main body 430, resulting in better drop protection.

[0052] Thus, according to the embodiment of the present utility model, the second drive motor 460 of multiple fixed components 400 are placed on the same side in the air conditioner 1, which can improve the utilization rate of the internal space of the air conditioner, make the structural layout more compact, help reduce the overall size of the unit, and improve the anti-fall effect of the air conditioner.

[0053] In some specific embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the other end of the heat exchanger is provided with a heat exchanger end plate 600, and the second drive motor 460 of the second fixing component 420 is provided on the side of the body 430 facing the heat exchanger end plate 600, and the second drive motor 460 of the second fixing component 420 is spaced apart from the heat exchanger end plate 600.

[0054] In other words, there will be a certain space between the body 430 of the second fixing component 420 and the heat exchanger end plate 600. By fixing the second drive motor 460 of the second fixing component 420 between the body 430 and the heat exchanger end plate 600, the internal space of the air conditioner 1 can be fully utilized, so that the internal structure of the air conditioner 1 can be arranged more compactly, which is conducive to improving the utilization rate of the space inside the casing 100, thereby reducing the overall size of the air conditioner 1.

[0055] In some specific embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the housing 100 may include a base 110, and the body 430 is fixed to the base 110. The body 430 may be detachably connected to the base 110 by snap-fit ​​or fasteners.

[0056] The housing 100 may include an outer cover 120, which is connected to the base 110. The front side of the outer cover 120 is provided with an assembly port 121. One end of the push rod 440 is provided with a fixing part 441, which extends out from the assembly port 121 and is used to connect the first drive motor 300 or the transverse air guide plate 200.

[0057] The fixing part 441 can be located at one end of the push rod 440 near the air outlet 102, and the first drive motor 300 can be connected to the fixing part 441 by snap-fit ​​or screw-fit.

[0058] Furthermore, driven by the second drive motor 460, the push rod 440 can move relative to the body 430 in the front-back direction and can protrude from the assembly port 121. When assembling the first drive motor 300, the second drive motor 460 can move the push rod 440 outward from the assembly port 121, thus providing a larger assembly operation space to fix the first drive motor 300 to the fixing part 441. Then, the push rod 440 can be retracted inward to complete the assembly of the first drive motor 300. This not only simplifies the assembly steps of the first drive motor 300, making assembly simpler, but also eliminates the need to remove the side plate of the outer cover 120 to assemble the first drive motor 300. The outer cover 120 can be constructed as an integral structure, thereby avoiding seams on the outer cover 120 and improving the aesthetics of the outer cover 120.

[0059] In addition, the push rod 440 of another fixed component 400 can be connected to the transverse air guide plate 200. When assembling the transverse air guide plate 200 and the push rod 440, the second drive motor 460 can move the push rod 440 outward from the assembly port 121, so that there is a larger assembly operation space, so as to connect the end of the transverse air guide plate 200 to the push rod 440.

[0060] Of course, the fixing component 400 in this embodiment can also be used for non-integrated outer covers, and the fixing component 400 will not affect the normal assembly of the outer cover 120 and the base 110.

[0061] In some specific embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, one end of the transverse air guide plate 200 is provided with a non-circular hole 210. The first drive motor 300 is fixed to one of the first fixing component 410 and the second fixing component 420. The motor shaft 310 of the first drive motor 300 extends into the non-circular hole 210 and is connected to the non-circular hole 210 for transmission, so as to drive the transverse air guide plate 200 to rotate.

[0062] For example, the non-circular hole 210 can be constructed as a hexagonal hole, and the motor shaft 310 of the first drive motor 300 can be constructed as a hexagonal shaft, but is not limited thereto. The non-circular hole 210 is constructed at one end of the transverse air guide plate 200 adjacent to the first drive motor 300.

[0063] With this configuration, by extending the motor shaft 310 of the first drive motor 300 into the non-circular hole of the transverse air guide plate 200, the transmission connection between the first drive motor 300 and the transverse air guide plate 200 can be achieved. The connection structure is simple, and when the first drive motor 300 is running, it can drive the transverse air guide plate 200 to rotate, thereby driving the transverse air guide plate 200 to open or close the air outlet 102, and the air outlet angle can be adjusted through the transverse air guide plate 200.

[0064] In some specific embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 5-7 As shown, a rotating shaft 220 is provided at the other end of the transverse air guide plate 200 along its length. The fixing part 441 of the other of the first fixing component 410 and the second fixing component 420 is constructed as a rotating shaft hole 442, and the rotating shaft 220 is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft hole 442.

[0065] In other words, the end of the transverse air guide plate 200 away from the first drive motor 300 can be equipped with a rotating shaft 220. When the first drive motor 300 is fixed to the first fixing component 410, the fixing part 441 of the second fixing component 420 is configured as a rotating shaft hole 442. By connecting the rotating shaft 220 to the rotating shaft hole 442, the transverse air guide plate 200 and the second fixing component 420 can be rotatably connected. When the first drive motor 300 drives the transverse air guide plate 200 to rotate, the end of the transverse air guide plate 200 equipped with the rotating shaft 220 can be rotated volutely, thereby enabling the rotation of the transverse air guide plate 200 to adjust the air outlet direction.

[0066] In some specific embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the fixing assembly 400 may also include a gear set 450, and the push rod 440 is provided with a rack portion 444 extending along its length direction. The second drive motor 460 drives the push rod 440 to move relative to the body 430 by meshing with the rack portion 444 through the gear set 450.

[0067] Therefore, the power of the second drive motor 460 can be transmitted to the rack part 444 through the gear set 450, so that the push rod 440 can move in the back-and-forth direction under the drive of the second drive motor 460. That is, the push rod 440 can be controlled to extend or retract from the assembly port 121 by the second drive motor 460. Furthermore, the stability of the push rod 440's movement can be improved by the meshing transmission of the transmission gear and the rack part 444.

[0068] Furthermore, such as Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the gear set 450 may include a drive gear 451, which is connected to the motor shaft 310 of the second drive motor 460.

[0069] The gear set 450 may include an intermediate gear 452, which meshes with the drive gear 451 and the rack portion 444 respectively, and the transmission ratio between the drive gear 451 and the intermediate gear 452 is not less than 1.

[0070] The transmission ratio between the drive gear 451 and the intermediate gear 452 is not less than 1, meaning that the transmission ratio between the drive gear 451 and the intermediate gear 452 can be 1, or the transmission ratio between the drive gear 451 and the intermediate gear 452 can be greater than 1. This setting allows the drive gear 451 and the intermediate gear 452 to transmit torque at the same speed or at a reduced speed, thereby ensuring that the second drive motor 460 outputs a larger torque and a stronger driving force, so as to stably drive the push rod 440 to move through the second drive motor 460.

[0071] Furthermore, such as Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the intermediate gear 452 may include a first gear 453, which meshes with the drive gear 451, and the outer diameter of the first gear 453 is not less than the outer diameter of the drive gear 451.

[0072] In this way, the drive gear 451 and the first gear 453 can transmit torque at the same speed or at a reduced speed, thereby ensuring that the second drive motor 460 outputs a large torque and can stably drive the push rod 440 to move.

[0073] In addition, such as Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the intermediate gear 452 may include a second gear 454. The second gear 454 and the first gear 453 are coaxially arranged and rotate synchronously. The second gear 454 meshes with the rack portion 444, and the outer diameter of the second gear 454 is larger than the outer diameter of the first gear 453.

[0074] Therefore, when the second drive motor 460 drives the first gear 453 to rotate via the drive gear 451, the second gear 454 can rotate synchronously with the first gear 453. Since the outer diameter of the second gear 454 is larger, the first gear 453 and the second gear 454 can rotate one revolution in the same amount of time. The second gear 454 can drive the rack part 444 to move a greater distance, that is, it can drive the push rod 440 to move a greater distance. When the second drive motor 460 outputs power at the same power, the second gear 454 can increase the speed and distance of the push rod 440. The structure is reasonably designed, which can reduce the time for the second drive motor 460 to push the push rod 440, thereby improving inspection efficiency and increasing production capacity.

[0075] The air conditioner 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0076] like Figures 1-10 As shown, the air conditioner 1 according to the present utility model embodiment may include a housing 100, the housing 100 is provided with an air inlet 101 and an air outlet 102, so that indoor air can enter the housing 100 through the air inlet 101 and flow out through the air outlet 102.

[0077] The air conditioner 1 may include a heat exchanger, which is located inside the housing 100 and adjacent to the air inlet 101. In this way, the air entering the housing 100 from the air inlet 101 can exchange heat with the heat exchanger and form a heat exchange airflow. The heat exchange airflow then flows into the room through the air outlet 102 to achieve heating or cooling of the room.

[0078] The air conditioner 1 may include a fan assembly, which is located inside the housing 100 and adjacent to the air outlet 102. The fan assembly drives air to enter the housing 100 from the air inlet 101, and after exchanging heat with the heat exchanger to form a heat exchange airflow, the air flows into the room through the air outlet 102. In this way, the fan assembly can increase the airflow speed and make the airflow more orderly, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency between the air and the heat exchanger.

[0079] The air conditioner 1 may include a horizontal air guide plate 200, which is rotatably disposed at the air outlet 102 to adjust the air outlet direction of the heat exchange airflow in the vertical direction. By adjusting the angle of the horizontal air guide plate 200, the airflow direction at the air outlet 102 can be changed to achieve multi-angle air supply. This can not only distribute the air evenly to all corners of the room, but also avoid direct airflow, which is beneficial to improving the user experience.

[0080] The air conditioner 1 may include a first drive motor 300, which is connected to a horizontal air guide plate 200 to drive the horizontal air guide plate 200 to rotate. That is, the first drive motor 300 can drive the horizontal air guide plate 200 to open or close, and can adjust the angle of the horizontal air guide plate 200, thereby adjusting the size of the air outlet 102, and thus controlling the air volume and angle at the air outlet 102, resulting in a better user experience. Furthermore, when the air conditioner 1 is turned off, the first drive motor 300 can drive the horizontal air guide plate 200 to close the air outlet 102, thus preventing dust and impurities from entering the housing 100 through the air outlet 102 when the air conditioner 1 is off, ensuring the cleanliness of the interior of the air conditioner 1.

[0081] The air conditioner 1 may include multiple fixing components 400, which are disposed within the housing 100 and are respectively used to connect the horizontal air guide plate 200 and the first drive motor 300. That is, one fixing component 400 is used to fix the first drive motor 300, which can be connected to one end of the horizontal air guide plate 200, and another fixing component 400 is used to connect to the other end of the horizontal air guide plate 200.

[0082] The plurality of fixing components 400 may include a first fixing component 410 and a second fixing component 420, wherein the first fixing component 410 is adjacent to a first sidewall 122 of the housing 100 and the second fixing component 420 is adjacent to a second sidewall 123 of the housing 100, and each fixing component 400 may include a body 430 connected to the housing 100. For example, the body 430 and the housing 100 may be connected by bolts, but not limited to this.

[0083] The first sidewall 122 can be the left side of the housing 100, and the second sidewall can be the right side of the housing 100; or, the first sidewall 122 can be the right side of the housing 100, and the second sidewall can be the left side of the housing 100. That is to say, the first fixing component 410 and the second fixing component 420 can be respectively provided on the left and right sides of the housing 100.

[0084] Specifically, each fixed component 400 may include a push rod 440, which is movably connected to the body 430 and is used to connect the transverse air guide plate 200 or the first drive motor 300. Thus, the transverse air guide plate 200 can be rotatably connected to the push rod 440, allowing the transverse air guide plate 200 to rotate relative to the push rod 440; alternatively, the first drive motor 300 can be fixed to the push rod 440 and is drively connected to the transverse air guide plate 200, allowing the first drive motor 300 to drive the transverse air guide plate 200 to rotate.

[0085] In addition, each fixed component 400 may include a second drive motor 460, which is fixed to the body 430 and is connected to the push rod 440 in a transmission connection to drive the push rod 440 to move relative to the body 430.

[0086] For example, the second drive motor 460 and the body 430 can be connected by screws, but are not limited to this.

[0087] The push rod 440 can move in the front-back direction under the drive of the second drive motor 460. When assembling the first drive motor 300, the push rod 440 can extend forward out of the housing 100 under the drive of the second drive motor 460, which provides a larger assembly operation space to fix the first drive motor 300 to the push rod 440. Then the push rod 440 can be retracted inward to complete the assembly of the first drive motor 300. This simplifies the assembly steps of the first drive motor 300 and makes the assembly simpler.

[0088] The second drive motor 460 of each fixed component 400 is located on the same side of the body 430.

[0089] In other words, the second drive motor 460 of the first fixing component 410 can be located on the outside of the first fixing component 410, and the second drive motor 460 of the second fixing component 420 can be located on the inside of the second fixing component 420. This arrangement allows the space between the fixing component 400 and the heat exchanger to accommodate the second drive motor 460 of the fixing component 400, thereby improving the utilization rate of the internal space of the air conditioner 1, saving internal space, making the internal structure of the air conditioner more compact, and reducing the overall size of the unit.

[0090] Furthermore, the second drive motor 460 of the other fixing component 400 is located on the outside of the fixing component 400, that is, the second drive motor 460 of the fixing component 400 can face the side wall of the housing 100, thereby avoiding positional interference between the drive motor 460 of the fixing component 400 and the internal components of the air conditioner 1. When the air conditioner 1 vibrates or falls during transportation or operation, it can prevent the second drive motor 460 of the fixing component 400 from colliding with its adjacent components, thereby improving the anti-fall effect.

[0091] Other components and operations of the air conditioner 1 according to the embodiments of the present invention are known to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here.

[0092] Thus, according to the embodiment of the present utility model, the second drive motor 460 of multiple fixed components 400 are placed on the same side in the air conditioner 1, which can improve the utilization rate of the internal space of the air conditioner, make the structural layout more compact, help reduce the overall size of the unit, and improve the anti-fall effect of the air conditioner.

[0093] The air conditioner 1 of this invention performs a refrigeration cycle by using a compressor, a condenser, an expansion valve, and an evaporator. The refrigeration cycle includes a series of processes involving compression, condensation, expansion, and evaporation, and supplies refrigerant to the conditioned and heat-exchanged air.

[0094] The compressor compresses refrigerant gas under high temperature and pressure and discharges the compressed refrigerant gas. The discharged refrigerant gas flows into the condenser. The condenser condenses the compressed refrigerant into a liquid phase, and the heat is released to the surrounding environment through the condensation process.

[0095] The expansion valve expands the high-temperature, high-pressure liquid refrigerant condensed in the condenser into a low-pressure liquid refrigerant. The evaporator evaporates the expanded refrigerant in the expansion valve and returns the low-temperature, low-pressure refrigerant gas to the compressor. The evaporator achieves a cooling effect by utilizing the latent heat of refrigerant evaporation to exchange heat with the material being cooled. Throughout the cycle, air conditioner 1 regulates the temperature and humidity of the indoor space.
