Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of air conditioners, and in particular to an air guide plate pushing-out movement mechanism and an air conditioner. Background Art

[0002] Currently, most wall-mounted air conditioner air guide plates adopt an ejection motion mechanism, which includes an internal motor of the air conditioner drive box and an ejection connecting rod head motor. The internal motor of the drive box pushes out the center of the air guide plate's shaft to avoid interference between the air guide plate and the air conditioner panel body during rotation. The connecting rod head motor drives the air guide plate to rotate 360°.

[0003] The air guide plate of the air guide plate push-out movement mechanism of the above-mentioned air conditioner is a single-layer air guide plate, and the width of the air guide plate does not change. There are problems such as insufficient cold air supply distance, insufficient hot air intake effect and insufficient reliability of the connecting rod head motor line. Summary of the invention

[0004] The main purpose of the present invention is to provide an air guide plate pushing-out movement mechanism and an air conditioner to solve the problem that the width of the air guide plate of the air guide plate pushing-out movement mechanism of the air conditioner in the prior art does not change, and there are problems such as insufficient cold air supply distance and insufficient hot air intake effect.

[0005] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, according to one aspect of the present invention, there is provided an air deflector pushing-out movement mechanism, comprising: an air deflector assembly, the air deflector assembly comprising a telescopic plate and an air deflector, the air deflector is provided with a accommodating cavity, the telescopic plate can slide in the accommodating cavity, the telescopic plate has a first position retracted in the accommodating cavity and a second position protruding from the outer edge of the air deflector; a driving assembly, the driving assembly comprising a first driving part and a second driving part, the first driving part is drivingly connected to the telescopic plate, and the second driving part is drivingly connected to the air deflector.

[0006] Furthermore, the accommodating cavity is located inside the air guide plate, and an end of the accommodating cavity has an opening for the telescopic plate to pass through the outer edge of the air guide plate.

[0007] Furthermore, a long hole connected to the accommodating cavity is provided on the surface of the air guide plate, and the first driving part includes: a first connecting rod, a first end of the first connecting rod is pivotally connected to the telescopic plate; and a first pushing mechanism, the first pushing mechanism is drivingly connected to the first connecting rod to push the first connecting rod to move.

[0008] Furthermore, the first pushing mechanism includes: a first rack, the first rack extending along the length direction of the first connecting rod; a first gear, the first gear meshing with the first rack; and a first driving motor, the first driving motor drivingly connected to the first gear.

[0009] Furthermore, the second driving part includes: a second connecting rod, a first end of which is pivotally connected to the air guide plate; and a second pushing mechanism, which is drivingly connected to the second connecting rod to push the second connecting rod to move.

[0010] Furthermore, the second pushing mechanism includes: a second rack, the second rack extending along the length direction of the second connecting rod; a second gear, the second gear meshing with the second rack; and a second drive motor, the second drive motor being drivingly connected to the second gear.

[0011] Further, the air deflector assembly includes an open position and a closed position, and the first driving unit and the second driving unit work simultaneously to drive the air deflector assembly to switch between the open position and the closed position.

[0012] Furthermore, the air guide plate assembly also includes an upper air supply state. When the air guide plate assembly is in the open position, the second driving unit stops working, and when the first driving unit drives the telescopic plate to move to the second position, the air guide plate assembly is in the upper air supply state.

[0013] Furthermore, the air guide plate assembly also includes a downward air supply state. When the air guide plate assembly is in the open position, the first driving unit drives the telescopic plate to move to the second position. After the second driving unit drives the air guide plate to flip upward, the air guide plate assembly is in the downward air supply state.

[0014] According to another aspect of the present invention, an air conditioner is provided, comprising an air guide plate push-out motion mechanism, wherein the air guide plate push-out motion mechanism is the above-mentioned air guide plate push-out motion mechanism.

[0015] Furthermore, when the air conditioner is turned off, the telescopic plate is in the first position, the first gear of the driving assembly is meshed with the first rack near one end of the air guide plate assembly, and the second gear of the driving assembly is meshed with the second rack near one end of the air guide plate assembly.

[0016] Furthermore, the first connecting rod and the second connecting rod of the driving assembly push the telescopic plate back and forth to achieve wind sweeping.

[0017] By applying the technical solution of the present invention, when the air conditioner is in a cooling state, the first drive unit and the second drive unit work simultaneously to push the air guide plate assembly out of the air outlet, and then the second drive unit stops working. When the first drive unit drives the telescopic plate to move to a second position protruding from the air guide plate, the width of the entire air guide plate assembly is increased. Finally, through the action of the telescopic plate and the air guide plate, the air supply distance of the air guide plate assembly can be increased.

[0018] When the air conditioner is in the heating state, the first driving unit and the second driving unit work simultaneously to push the air guide plate assembly out of the air outlet, and then retract the telescopic plate toward the inside of the air outlet to the second position. At the same time, the second driving unit is used to drive the air guide plate to flip upward, which can increase the heating and wind collection effect of the air guide plate assembly and enable the hot air in the air outlet to fall to the ground quickly.

[0019] It can be seen that through the action of the air guide plate pushing movement mechanism of the present invention, the width of the air guide plate assembly can be increased when the air conditioner is in cooling state, and the air supply distance of the air guide plate assembly can be extended. The air collection effect of the air guide plate assembly can also be improved when the air conditioner is in heating state, so that the hot air can fall to the ground quickly.

[0030] See also Figures 1 to 4 As shown, according to an embodiment of the present invention, an air conditioner is provided. The air conditioner in this embodiment includes a body 30, and the body 30 has an air outlet 31, which is convenient for conveying the air after heat exchange treatment by the air conditioner to the room.

[0031] The air conditioner in this embodiment further includes an air guide plate pushing-out movement mechanism. During actual installation, the air guide plate pushing-out movement mechanism is installed on the body 30 to transport the air output from the air outlet 31 to a predetermined space.

[0032] Specifically, the air deflector pushing-out movement mechanism in this embodiment includes an air deflector assembly 10 and a driving assembly.

[0033] The air deflector assembly 10 includes a telescopic plate 11 and an air deflector 12. The air deflector 12 is provided with a receiving cavity 121. The telescopic plate 11 can slide in the receiving cavity 121. When actually working, the telescopic plate 11 has a first position where it is folded in the receiving cavity 121 and a second position where it protrudes from the outer edge of the receiving cavity 121. The driving assembly includes a first driving part 21 and a second driving part 22. The first driving part 21 is connected to the telescopic plate 11 by driving, and the second driving part 22 is connected to the air deflector 12 by driving. It should be noted that the outer edge in this embodiment refers to the edge set in the depth direction of the air outlet 31 of the air deflector 12, that is, the edge that can extend the air supply length of the entire air deflector assembly 10 after the telescopic plate 11 protrudes.

[0034] When the air conditioner is in a cooling state, the first drive unit 21 and the second drive unit 22 work simultaneously to push the air guide plate assembly 10 out of the air outlet 31, and then the second drive unit 22 stops working. When the first drive unit 21 drives the telescopic plate 11 to move to a second position protruding from the air guide plate 12, the width of the entire air guide plate assembly 10 is increased. Finally, through the action of the telescopic plate 11 and the air guide plate 12, the air supply distance of the air guide plate assembly 10 can be increased.

[0035] When the air conditioner is in the heating state, the first drive unit 21 and the second drive unit 22 work simultaneously, which can push the air guide plate assembly 10 out of the air outlet 31, and then retract the telescopic plate 11 toward the inside of the air outlet 31 to the second position. At the same time, the second drive unit 22 is used to drive the air guide plate 12 to flip upward, which can increase the heating and wind collection effect of the air guide plate assembly 10, so that the hot air in the air outlet 31 can quickly fall to the ground.

[0036] It can be seen that through the action of the air guide plate pushing movement mechanism of the present invention, the width of the air guide plate assembly 10 can be increased when the air conditioner is in the cooling state, and the air supply distance of the air guide plate assembly 10 can be extended. The air collection effect of the air guide plate assembly 10 can also be improved when the air conditioner is in the heating state, so that the hot air can fall to the ground quickly.

[0037] The accommodating cavity 121 in this embodiment is located inside the air guide plate 12, and the end of the accommodating cavity 121 has an opening for the telescopic plate 11 to pass through the outer edge of the air guide plate 12, so as to facilitate the telescopic plate 11 to switch between the first position and the second position.

[0038] See again Figures 1 to 4As shown, the first driving part 21 in this embodiment includes a first connecting rod 211 and a first pushing mechanism 212. In order to facilitate connection, the surface of the air guide plate 12 is provided with a long hole connected to the accommodating cavity 121, so as to provide necessary clearance space for the connection between the first connecting rod 211 and the telescopic plate 11. During actual installation, the first end of the first connecting rod 211 passes through the long hole and is pivotally connected to the telescopic plate 11; the first pushing mechanism 212 is drivingly connected to the first connecting rod 211 to push the first connecting rod 211 to move forward and backward. In the specific design, the long hole in this embodiment is located on the upper surface of the air guide plate 12, and the extension direction of the long hole is consistent with the wind guiding direction of the air guide plate 12.

[0039] Preferably, the first pushing mechanism 212 in this embodiment includes a first rack 2121, a first gear 2122 and a first driving motor (not shown in the figure), the first rack 2121 extends along the length direction of the first connecting rod 211; the first gear 2122 is meshed with the first rack 2121; and the first driving motor is drivingly connected to the first gear 2122. When working, the first driving motor rotates to drive the first gear 2122 to rotate, thereby driving the first rack 2121 and the first connecting rod 211 to move forward and backward to push the telescopic plate 11.

[0040] Similarly, the second driving part 22 in this embodiment includes a second connecting rod 221 and a second pushing mechanism 222, wherein the first end of the second connecting rod 221 is pivotally connected to the air guide plate 12; the second pushing mechanism 222 is drivingly connected to the second connecting rod 221 to push the second connecting rod 221 to move forward and backward.

[0041] Preferably, the second pushing mechanism 222 includes a second rack 2221, a second gear 2222 and a second driving motor (not shown in the figure), wherein the second rack 2221 extends along the length direction of the second connecting rod 221; the second gear 2222 is meshed with the second rack 2221; and the second driving motor is drivingly connected to the second gear 2222. When working, the second driving motor rotates to drive the second gear 2222 to rotate, thereby driving the second rack 2221 and the second connecting rod 221 to move forward and backward to push the air guide plate 12.

[0042] During actual installation, the first drive motor and the second drive motor in this embodiment are installed on the body 30 of the air conditioner. Compared with the previous structure, no shaking motor is set at the end of the first connecting rod 211 and the second connecting rod 221 of the air guide plate pushing movement mechanism in this embodiment, and the leads of the first drive motor and the second drive motor will not shake during the movement of the air guide plate assembly 10, and the problem of insufficient reliability of the motor wire will not occur.

[0043] In actual operation, the air deflector assembly 10 in this embodiment includes an open position and a closed position, and the first drive unit 21 and the second drive unit 22 act simultaneously to drive the air deflector assembly 10 to switch between the open position and the closed position. In this process, the first drive motor and the second drive motor rotate forward or reverse at the same time, thereby being able to simultaneously drive the first connecting rod 211 and the second connecting rod 221 to move together to drive the air deflector assembly 10 to switch between the open position and the closed position. When the air deflector assembly 10 is in the closed position, the telescopic plate 11 is in the first position, the first gear 2122 of the drive assembly is meshed with the end of the first rack 2121 close to the air deflector assembly 10, and the second gear 2222 of the drive assembly is meshed with the end of the second rack 2221 close to the air deflector assembly 10. In other positions except the above-mentioned closed position, the air deflector assembly 10 is in the open position.

[0044] The air guide plate assembly 10 also includes an upper air supply state. When the air guide plate assembly 10 is in the open position, the second drive unit 22 stops working, and the first drive motor of the first drive unit 21 moves, driving the first gear 2122 to move, and then driving the first rack 2121 and the first connecting rod 211 to move, so that the telescopic plate 11 moves to the second position. At this time, the air guide plate assembly 10 is in the upper air supply state, which is convenient for increasing the delivery distance of the cold air at the air outlet 31.

[0045] The air guide plate assembly 10 in this embodiment also includes a downward air supply state. When the air guide plate assembly 10 is in the open position, the first drive unit 21 drives the telescopic plate 11 to move to the second position, and the second drive motor of the second drive unit 22 moves, driving the second gear 2222 to move, and then driving the second rack 2221 and the second connecting rod 221 to move, so that after the air guide plate 12 moves and flips upward, the air guide plate assembly 10 is in the downward air supply state.

[0046] According to the above air conditioner, it can be known that when the air conditioner is in the off state, the air guide plate assembly 10 is in the closed position, at which time, the telescopic plate 11 is in the first position, that is, the first gear 2122 of the driving assembly is meshed with the end of the first rack 2121 close to the air guide plate assembly 10, and the second gear 2222 of the driving assembly is meshed with the end of the second rack 2221 close to the air guide plate assembly 10. When the air conditioner is turned on, the first driving mechanism motor drives the first gear 2122, the first rack 2121, the second gear 2222, and the second rack 2221 to move, thereby causing the first connecting rod 211 and the second connecting rod 221 to move forward to push out the telescopic plate 11 and the air guide plate 12, thereby opening the air outlet 31 of the air conditioner.

[0047] When the air conditioner is in cooling working state, the first connecting rod 211 continues to be pushed forward and the second connecting rod 221 remains stationary, so that the second connecting rod 221 pushes the air guide plate 12 to rotate around the pivot point of the second connecting rod 221 until the air guide plate 12 stops in a roughly horizontal position. At this time, the first connecting rod 211 pushes the telescopic plate 11 to slide forward in the accommodating cavity 121, so that the telescopic plate 11 increases the length of the overall air guide plate assembly 10 and extends the air supply distance.

[0048] When the air conditioner is in the heating working state, the second connecting rod 221 continues to push forward, and the first connecting rod 211 shrinks backward into the accommodating cavity 121, so that the air guide plate 12 flips over as a whole, and the telescopic plate 11 shrinks into the accommodating cavity 121 to prevent interference with the body 30 during the flipping process, and finally keeps the telescopic plate 11 and the air guide plate 12 stacked downward to guide the air, so that the hot air is more concentrated and falls to the ground faster.

[0049] When the air conditioner sweeps air, the first connecting rod 211 and the second connecting rod 221 push the telescopic plate 11 back and forth, which can satisfy the telescopic plate 11 and the air guide plate 12 to sweep air up and down and avoid interference with the body 30.

[0050] From the above description, it can be seen that the above embodiments of the present invention achieve the following technical effects:

[0051] The double-layer air guide plate assembly of the present invention can be pushed out to rotate and guide the air, and the telescopic plate and the air guide plate can be relatively telescopic forward and backward during the air sweeping process. The first connecting rod and the second connecting rod in the present invention drive the telescopic plate and the air guide plate, which can avoid the external movement of the motor. Thus, when cooling, the total width of the air guide plate assembly is increased, the air supply distance is extended, and when heating, the air guide plate assembly has a better air collection effect and the hot air falls to the ground faster; and there is no bendable motor wire, and the reliability is high.
