[0042] The following describes embodiments of the present invention in detail. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended only to explain the present invention and are not to be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0043] The following describes an air conditioner 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings. Air conditioner 100 is used to regulate the temperature or humidity of an indoor air environment. Air conditioner 100 can be categorized as a split-type air conditioner or an integrated air conditioner. An integrated air conditioner can be a window air conditioner or a portable air conditioner, while a split-type air conditioner includes an indoor unit and an outdoor unit. The following description uses the indoor unit as an example to illustrate the effects of air conditioner 100.

[0044] like Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, an air conditioner 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a housing 1, a plurality of mounting plates 2, and a plurality of air guide grille components 3. In the description of the present invention, the meaning of "plurality" includes two or more.

[0045] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the front panel 11 of the housing 1 is provided with a plurality of spaced-apart air outlets 111. This allows the airflows from each air outlet 111 to be independent of each other, thereby preventing the air supply effect of the air conditioner 100 from being affected. This arrangement enables the air conditioner 100 to have a larger air outlet area, thereby providing a larger air supply range, compared to the single air outlet 111 in the related art. For some air conditioners 100 with a windless function, this is beneficial for improving the cooling capacity of the air conditioner 100 in the windless mode. In the description of the present invention, when a user is facing the front panel 11, the direction closer to the user is referred to as the front, and the direction away from the user is referred to as the rear.

[0046] Optionally, the number of air outlets 111 is not less than four. In specific applications, the arrangement of the multiple air outlets 111 is not limited and should be flexibly selected according to actual needs and processing difficulty. For example, the multiple air outlets 111 can be arranged in a linear manner (for example, the multiple air outlets 111 can be arranged evenly spaced in a straight line along the up and down directions or the left and right directions), or the multiple air outlets 111 can be arranged in a planar manner (for example, the multiple air outlets 111 can be evenly spaced in a rectangular area or a circular area). For example, in some embodiments of the present invention, the multiple air outlets 111 are divided into multiple groups of air outlet groups along the up and down directions, and each group of air outlet groups includes two air outlets 111 spaced apart along the left and right directions. Specifically, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2There are six air outlets 111 on the front panel 11. The six air outlets 111 are divided into three groups of air outlet groups distributed vertically. Each air outlet group includes two air outlets 111 spaced apart in the left and right directions. The two air outlets 111 are symmetrical along the length center line of the air conditioner 100, thereby having a simple structure and beautiful appearance.

[0047] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, each mounting plate 2 is provided with at least one vent 21. Each mounting plate 2 is spaced apart from the front panel 11 to define a storage space 22. The plurality of air guide grille components 3, the plurality of vents 21, and the plurality of air outlets 111 correspond one-to-one. Each air guide grille component 3 is rotatably disposed within the storage space 22 defined by the mounting plate 2 where the corresponding vent 21 is located. The rotation centerline of each air guide grille component 3 extends in the front-to-back direction, so that the wind direction of the corresponding air outlet 111 can be adjusted by rotating the air guide grille, thereby enriching the air supply form of the air conditioner 100. It will be understood that when a plurality of vents 21 are provided on the mounting plate 2, the storage space 22 defined between the mounting plate 2 and the front panel 11 contains a plurality of air guide grille components 3 that correspond one-to-one to the vents 21 on the mounting plate 21.

[0048] Specifically, for example, referring to Figure 4 and Figure 5 The interior of the housing 1 is equipped with three mounting plates 2 and six air guide grille components 3. The three mounting plates 2 are located behind the front panel 11 and are arranged vertically. Each mounting plate 2 is spaced apart from the front panel 11, defining a receiving space 22. The three mounting plates 2 correspond one-to-one with the three groups of air outlets. Each mounting plate 2 is provided with two vents 21 spaced apart in the left-right direction. Each pair of air guide grille components 3 is placed in one receiving space 22. The six vents 21 and six air guide grille components 3 correspond one-to-one with the six air outlets 111. This allows airflow from the vents 21 to flow into the air guide grille components 3, where it is guided and then blown out through the air outlets 111. Each air guide grille component 3 is rotatable, with its rotational centerline extending in the front-to-back direction. This provides a variety of air delivery patterns for the air conditioner 100. This installation method is simple and convenient. Furthermore, after the air guide grille components 3 are placed in the receiving space 22, the mounting plates 2 and the front panel 11 also provide some protection for the grilles. Of course, after reading this application, it can be understood that the air outlets 111 can have other arrangements, and the number of mounting plates 2 can be less than the number of air outlet groups.

[0049] According to the air conditioner 100 of the embodiment of the present invention, since a plurality of spaced-apart air outlets 111 are provided on the front panel 11 of the casing 1, the air conditioner 100 can have a larger air outlet area and a larger air supply range; since a accommodating space 22 is defined between the mounting plate 2 and the front panel 11, the air guide grille component 3 can be rotatably disposed in the accommodating space 22, so that the wind direction of the corresponding air outlet 111 can be adjusted, thereby enriching the air supply form of the air conditioner 100 and improving the air outlet effect of the air conditioner 100, and this installation method is simple and convenient, and the mounting plate 2 and the front panel 11 can also play a certain protective role for the air guide grille component 3.

[0050] In actual application, in order to reduce the installation steps of the whole machine and improve the installation efficiency, in some embodiments, at least two mounting plates 2 are connected into one body, and at most all mounting plates 2 are connected into one body. Figure 11 The three mounting plates 2 are connected into one body. In specific production, the three mounting plates 2 can be formed into one body by injection molding, thereby having a simple structure and convenient processing.

[0051] It should be noted that the specific structural form of the accommodating space 22 is not limited. For example, in some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 9 As shown, a flange 23 extending forward is provided on the outer peripheral wall of the mounting plate 2, and the free end of the flange 23 abuts against the rear surface of the front panel 11 so that the mounting plate 2 and the front panel 11 define a receiving space 22, thereby simplifying the structure and being easy to implement.

[0052] Specifically, for example, referring to Figure 4 and Figure 9 The mounting plate 2 is provided with flanges 23 on both its upper and lower ends. These flanges 23 extend perpendicularly to the mounting plate 2 and forward. The rear end of the flanges 23 is connected to the mounting plate 2, while the front end of the flanges 23 abuts the rear surface of the front panel 11. This defines a receiving space 22 between the mounting plate 2 and the front panel 11, and the structure is simple and easy to implement. The flanges 23 not only enhance the structural strength of the mounting plate 2 and prevent damage, but also provide a degree of shielding and protection for the air guide grille component 3.

[0053] In some embodiments of the present invention, the length of the accommodating space 22 in the front-to-back direction is greater than the thickness of the air guide grille component 3, so that when the air guide grille component 3 is located behind the accommodating space 22, there is a gap between the air guide grille component 3 and the mounting plate 2 and / or the front panel 11, which is conducive to the smooth rotation of the air guide grille component 3.

[0054] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 5As shown, the housing 1 further includes a rear panel 12 having an air inlet 121 formed thereon, through which indoor air can enter the air conditioner 100. In practical applications, the rear panel 12 can be connected to the front panel 11 via a snap-fit ​​structure and / or connectors such as screws for easy assembly.

[0055] Alternatively, as Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the air conditioner 100 also includes a heat exchanger 6 and multiple fan assemblies 7. The fan assembly 7 is located on the rear side of the mounting plate 2. The multiple fan assemblies 7 correspond one-to-one to the multiple vents 21. The heat exchanger 6 is located between the fan assembly 7 and the air inlet 121. The bottom of the heat exchanger 6 is provided with a water receiving tray for collecting and discharging condensed water. Therefore, under the action of the fan assembly 7, the air flow entering the air conditioner 100 can exchange heat with the heat exchanger 6, and then flow to the vents 21 of the mounting plate 2 through the fan assembly 7, and finally be blown out from the air outlet 111 after being guided by the air guide grille component 3.

[0056] In actual applications, by adjusting the working status of different fan components 7 (such as the rotation speed, etc.), different air outlets 111 can blow out air flows with different air volumes or wind speeds, and then different air outlets 111 can have different air outlet temperatures, so that the air conditioner 100 can achieve air supply with different temperature sensations, which is beneficial to improving the comfort of the operation of the air conditioner 100 and the softness of the wind feeling.

[0057] Specifically, heat exchanger 6 is flat. Compared to the arc-shaped heat exchangers 6 of related art, this flat plate structure allows for more uniform airflow into heat exchanger 6, improving heat exchange efficiency. Fan assembly 7 includes an axial-flow fan and a stator support. The stator support is located at the fan's outlet and is equipped with stators to guide the airflow from the axial-flow fan.

[0058] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 4 、 Figure 9 and Figure 10As shown, a mounting post 15 is provided on the rear surface of the front panel 11, and the mounting post 15 includes a first connecting post 151 and a second connecting post 152. One end of the first connecting post 151 (that is, the front end of the first connecting post 151) is connected to the rear surface of the front panel 11 and the first connecting post 151 extends backward, and one end of the second connecting post 152 (that is, the front end of the second connecting post 152) is connected to the rear end surface of the first connecting post 151 and the second connecting post 152 extends backward. The cross-sectional area of ​​the second connecting post 152 is smaller than the cross-sectional area of ​​the first connecting post 151. A mounting hole 24 is provided on the mounting plate 2, and the mounting hole 24 is sleeved on the outer peripheral wall of the second connecting post 152. The rear end surface of the first connecting post 151 excluding the part connected to the second connecting post 152 is suitable for limiting the mounting plate 2 to prevent the mounting plate 2 from contacting the front panel 11. Therefore, the structure is simple and the installation is convenient.

[0059] Specifically, during assembly, since the cross-sectional area of ​​the second connecting column 152 is smaller than the cross-sectional area of ​​the first connecting column 151, the first connecting column 151 and the second connecting column 152 can roughly form a step structure at the connection. When the mounting plate 2 is sleeved on the second connecting column 152 through the mounting hole 24, the step structure can limit the mounting plate 2 so that the mounting plate 2 abuts against the first connecting column 151, thereby preventing the mounting plate 2 from contacting the front panel 11 and affecting the installation of the air guide grille component 3.

[0060] Optionally, refer to Figure 4 The second connecting column 152 is coaxially arranged with the first connecting column 151 , and the outer diameter of the second connecting column 152 is smaller than the outer diameter of the first connecting column 151 , thereby simplifying the structure and facilitating processing.

[0061] It is understood that, in addition to being connected via the aforementioned structure, the mounting plate 2 and the front panel 11 may also have no connection relationship. For example, the mounting plate 2 may be connected to other components of the air conditioner 100 (e.g., the stator support of the fan assembly 7 or the left and right side walls of the housing 1).

[0062] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the air conditioner 100 further includes a drive motor 4 for driving the air guide grille components 3 to rotate. There are multiple drive motors 4, each corresponding to one of the multiple air guide grille components 3. Each drive motor 4 drives the air guide grille components 3 to rotate via a transmission component 5. The drive motor 4 is mounted on the mounting plate 2 corresponding to the corresponding air guide grille component 3 and is positioned adjacent to the corresponding vent 21. In other words, the drive motor 4 for driving the air guide grille component 3 is mounted on the mounting plate 2 corresponding to the vent 21 of the corresponding air guide grille component 3 and is positioned adjacent to the vent 21. Because different air guide grille components 3 correspond to different drive motors 4, the rotation of each air guide grille component 3 is independent and does not affect each other. This allows for more diverse airflow patterns in the air conditioner 100 to better match the operating mode of the air conditioner 100 and improve the air supply efficiency of the air conditioner 100.

[0063] Since the space inside the casing 1 is usually relatively small and the power to drive the air guide grille component 3 to rotate does not need to be too large, in order to improve space utilization and make the structure of the device more compact, the drive motor 4 here can adopt a stepper motor, which is small in size, low in cost, and easy to control.

[0064] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the transmission component 5 includes a first gear 51 and a rack 52. The first gear 51 is rotatably mounted on the mounting plate 2 and is connected to the motor shaft of the drive motor 4. The rack 52 is provided on the outer peripheral wall of the air guide grille component 3 and extends along the circumferential direction of the air guide grille component 3. The rack 52 is engaged with the first gear 51. This transmission method has a simple structure, stable transmission, and reliable operation.

[0065] Specifically, for example, referring to Figure 7 The air guide grille component 3 includes an inner ring 31, an outer ring 32, and multiple grille bars 33. Both the inner ring 31 and the outer ring 32 are annular. The outer ring 32 is coaxial with the inner ring 31. A gap is formed between the inner circumferential wall of the outer ring 32 and the outer circumferential wall of the inner ring 31. The multiple grille bars 33 are located between the outer ring 32 and the inner ring 31 and are arranged in parallel and spaced apart. The rack 52 is annular and is mounted on the outer circumferential wall of the outer ring 32, resulting in a simple structure. In practical applications, the rack 52 and the air guide grille component 3 can be integrally formed by injection molding, which facilitates processing.

[0066] It is understandable that the transmission component 5 is not limited to the above-mentioned structural form. For example, it can also adopt belt drive, chain drive or connecting rod mechanism drive, etc. The specific form can be flexibly selected according to actual needs or assembly difficulty, and the present invention does not limit this.

[0067] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 8 As shown, the air conditioner 100 also includes a plurality of motor covers 53, and the plurality of motor covers 53 correspond one to one with the plurality of drive motors 4. Each motor cover 53 is mounted on the rear surface of the corresponding mounting plate 2 and defines a mounting space 26 with the mounting plate 2. The drive motor 4 is located in the mounting space 26, and a portion of the first gear 51 extends from the mounting space 26 to cooperate with the rack 52. This design enables the mounting space 26 to protect the drive motor 4 and the first gear 51, thereby extending the service life of the device.

[0068] During specific assembly, the first gear 51 can be fixedly sleeved on the output shaft of the driving motor 4, and then the driving motor 4 is installed on the motor cover 53, and then the motor cover 53 is installed on the mounting plate 2, which facilitates installation.

[0069] In actual applications, the motor cover 53 and the mounting plate 2 can be connected by connecting parts such as screws. This connection form is easy to install and the connection is reliable; alternatively, the motor cover 53 and the mounting plate 2 are connected by snap fasteners. The motor cover 53 is provided with multiple snap fasteners, and the mounting plate 2 is provided with multiple snap fasteners that correspond one-to-one with the snap fasteners. Thus, the snap fasteners and the snap fasteners can provide a reliable and high-quality fastening position between the motor cover 53 and the mounting plate 2, and the assembly process of the snap fasteners is simple, generally requiring only one insertion action, which is quick and easy, and can improve the assembly efficiency of the two. The specific method to be adopted should be flexibly selected according to actual production and assembly conditions, and the present invention does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0070] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, a forward-concave receiving groove 25 is provided on the portion of the inner surface of the mounting space 26 located on the mounting plate 2, and one side of the receiving groove 25 adjacent to the corresponding vent 21 is open to define an escape opening 251. The first gear 51 is located in the receiving groove 25 and a portion of the first gear 51 extends out of the mounting space 26 through the escape opening 251, thereby making the structure more compact.

[0071] Specifically, for example, referring to Figure 8 and Figure 9 The accommodating groove 25 is roughly cylindrical and is located above the vent 21. A avoidance opening 251 is provided on the lower side of the accommodating groove 25. Therefore, when the first gear 51 is set in the accommodating groove 25, part of the first gear 51 can pass through the avoidance opening 251 and extend out of the installation space 26 to engage with the rack 52 to drive the air guide grille component 3 to rotate.

[0072] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 9As shown, the mounting plate 2 is further provided with a plurality of reinforcing ribs 27 , and at least two of the plurality of reinforcing ribs 27 intersect with each other, thereby enhancing the structural strength of the mounting plate 2 .

[0073] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 10 As shown, an elastic clip 13 is provided on the rear surface of the front panel 11, and a wire clamping groove 135 is formed on the elastic clip 13. Thus, the power lines of some electrical components in the air conditioner 100 (such as the drive motor 4) can be arranged in the wire clamping groove 135, so that the circuit can be beautiful and neat, and the elastic clip 13 is elastic, which is conducive to clamping the power line and preventing the power line from loosening.

[0074] In practical applications, there can be multiple elastic clips 13. For example, the number of elastic clips 13 can be equal to the number of drive motors 4, and multiple elastic clips 13 correspond one-to-one to multiple drive motors 4, so that the power cord of each drive motor 4 can be arranged in the cable clamping groove 135 of the corresponding elastic clip 13, avoiding the problem of drive motors 4 distributed in different positions sharing the same elastic clip 13, which would cause cable confusion.

[0075] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 10 As shown, the elastic buckle 13 includes a first section 131, a second section 132 and a third section 133. The first section 131 is connected to the rear surface of the front panel 11 and the first section 131 extends backward, one end of the second section 132 is connected to the rear end of the first section 131, and the other end of the second section 132 extends upward, one end of the third section 133 is connected to the other end of the second section 132 and the third section 133 extends forward and is spaced apart from the front panel 11 to define a wire clamping groove 135 with the first section 131 and the second section 132, thereby simplifying the structure.
