[0002] As people's requirements for the quality of life are getting higher and higher, air conditioners have become an indispensable household appliance in people's daily lives, and people have also put forward higher requirements for the comfort of air conditioners. The size of the air outlet range can improve the temperature uniformity of the temperature-adjusting space, such as the temperature uniformity at height. In addition, the air outlet angle can be limited so that the air outlet air flow can be upward or downward to adapt to the density difference of the air outlet air flow under cooling or heating conditions, thereby meeting the user's comfort requirements. However, at present, the air outlet range of the air outlet of the air conditioner is realized by the swing angle of the air guide plate, and the air guide plate body is mostly in the air outlet or at least partially in the air outlet, which causes the air guide plate to guide the air outlet air flow through the swing at least partially blocked by the air outlet frame, that is, the air outlet range of the air outlet is limited, which is obviously not conducive to improving the air outlet range of the air conditioner and thus improving the comfort of the user. Summary of the invention

[0022] See also Figures 1 to 6 As shown, according to an embodiment of the present invention, an air conditioner is provided, comprising a housing 1, on which an air outlet 11 is constructed, and the air outlet 11 is further provided with an air guide structure 2, wherein the air guide structure 2 comprises an air guide plate 21, and the air guide plate 21 has a storage state in the air outlet 11 and an air guide state in which the air guide plate 21 is completely extended from the air outlet 11. In this technical solution, when the air conditioner is in operation, the airflow after heat exchange will flow out of the internal air duct of the air conditioner through the air outlet 11, and at the same time, since the air guide plate 21 is completely extended from the air outlet 11 and is no longer at least partially in the air outlet 11 as in the prior art, the outflowing heat exchange airflow can be guided by the air guide plate 21 at a larger angle range without being restricted by the frame of the air outlet 11, thereby greatly improving the air outlet range and further improving the user's comfort.

[0023] The extension of the air guide plate 21 can be achieved by using a common telescopic cylinder, but this structure will cause the structure at the air outlet 11 of the air conditioner to be not compact enough, and make the control difficult in the specific implementation. Preferably, the air guide structure 2 includes a telescopic arm assembly 22, one end of the telescopic arm assembly 22 is connected to the air guide plate 21, and the other end is connected to the driving component. The driving component can be, for example, an existing motor (such as a stepping motor). Specifically, the telescopic arm assembly 22 includes a first telescopic rod 221, one end of the first telescopic rod 221 is hingedly connected to the air guide plate 21, and the other end of the first telescopic rod 221 is connected to the driving component. The first telescopic rod 221 is divided into two groups, and the two groups of the first telescopic rods 221 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the air guide plate 21. In terms of the specific telescopic drive of the first telescopic rod 221, as a preferred embodiment, a first rack portion 2211 is provided on one side wall of the first telescopic rod 221, and the driving component includes a first power output gear 231, and the first power output gear 231 is engaged with the first rack portion 2211. For example, when the driving component is a motor, the first power output gear 231 is sleeved on the output shaft of the motor, or is engaged and driven by the output shaft of the motor through a reduction device (such as a reduction gear mechanism), thereby realizing the linear displacement of the first telescopic rod 221 by the rotary motion of the motor, thereby simplifying the control system of the air conditioner and making the structure of the air outlet 11 more optimized and compact.

[0024] In order to ensure the adjustment of the multi-angle and larger angle range of the air guide structure, preferably, the air guide plate 21 includes a first air guide plate 211 and a second air guide plate 212, and the first air guide plate 211 and the second air guide plate 212 are pivotally connected to adjust the angle formed between the first air guide plate 211 and the second air guide plate 212. For example, the first air guide plate 211 and the second air guide plate 212 are pivotally connected as a whole through a rotating shaft. At this time, correspondingly, the telescopic arm assembly 22 also includes a second telescopic rod 222, and the second telescopic rod 222 is used to drive the first air guide plate 211 to produce an angular displacement relative to the second air guide plate 212; and / or, the telescopic arm assembly 22 also includes a third telescopic rod 223, and the third telescopic rod 223 is used to drive the second air guide plate 212 to produce an angular displacement relative to the first air guide plate 211. In this way, the upward, downward, or upward and downward large-angle multi-angle guidance of the outlet airflow can be achieved without setting multiple air outlets as in the prior art, thereby simplifying the structure of the air conditioner.

[0025] In terms of realizing the telescopic movement of the second telescopic rod 222 and the third telescopic rod 223, it is best to adopt a structure similar to that of the first telescopic rod 221. Specifically, a second rack portion 2221 is provided on one side wall of the second telescopic rod 222, and the driving component includes a second power output gear 232, which is meshed with the second rack portion 2221; and / or a third rack portion 2231 is provided on one side wall of the third telescopic rod 223, and the driving component includes a third power output gear 233, which is meshed with the third rack portion 2231.

[0026] More optimally, the first telescopic rod 221 has a telescopic guide groove extending along its length direction, and the second telescopic rod 222 and the third telescopic rod 223 are inserted into the telescopic guide groove. In this way, while the telescopic arm assembly 22 can form a whole, the telescopic process of the second telescopic rod 222 and the third telescopic rod 223 is smoother due to the guiding effect of the first telescopic rod 221.

[0027] Preferably, the first air guide plate 211 is provided with a first mounting seat 2111, the second telescopic rod 222 is provided with a first connecting seat 2222, and also includes a first swing arm 241, the two ends of the length of the first swing arm 241 are respectively hinged to the first mounting seat 2111 and the first connecting seat 2222, and the first connecting seat 2222 has a first waist hole; and / or, the second air guide plate 212 is provided with a second mounting seat 2121, the third telescopic rod 223 is provided with a second connecting seat 2232, and also includes a second swing arm 242, the two ends of the length of the second swing arm 242 are respectively hinged to the second mounting seat 2121 and the second connecting seat 2232, and the second connecting seat 2232 has a second waist hole.

[0028] Figure 1 and Figure 3-5An air conditioner adopting the technical solution of the present application is provided, which specifically shows that the air guide structure 2 is in four states, namely vertical up and down air supply, inclined up and down air supply, oblique upward air supply and oblique downward air supply. More specifically, when the air conditioner is in cooling mode, considering the factor that the density of cold air flow is relatively large, the air conditioner can be controlled so that the air guide structure 2 is in the oblique upward air supply and upward air supply state. When the air conditioner is in heating mode, considering the factor that the density of hot air flow is relatively small, the air conditioner can be controlled so that the air guide structure 2 is in the oblique downward air supply and upward air supply state. The air guide structure 2 in the vertical up and down air supply and oblique up and down air supply states can be suitable for the air conditioner to be in cooling or heating mode, so that the airflow of the air conditioner can be more evenly distributed in the spatial height direction, and the vertical up and down air supply state is especially suitable for situations where the cooling set temperature is too low or the heating temperature is too high, which is not suitable for directly blowing to the user's body, thereby preventing the discomfort of directly blowing on the user.
