[0030] The specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, but the present invention can be implemented in many different ways as defined and covered by the claims.

[0031] Reference Figure 1-Figure 4 as well as Figure 8 The magnetic transmission asymmetric air guide structure in one embodiment of the present invention can be applied to vertical and wall-mounted air conditioners. In this embodiment, a vertical air conditioner is taken as an example. The air conditioner of the present invention includes an air duct 10, a fan 20, an evaporator 30, a rear cover 40, a top cover 50, a base 60 and an air outlet frame 100. The magnetic transmission asymmetric air guide structure includes a plurality of air guide rings and a magnetic transmission mechanism 300 for driving the air guide rings to move.

[0032] The plurality of air guide rings include at least one first air guide ring 210 and at least one second air guide ring 220, and the first air guide ring 210 and the second air guide ring 220 are both provided with a plurality of guide wings 230. Among them, the air guiding direction of the guide wings on the first air guide ring 210 is opposite to the air guiding direction of the guide wings on the second air guide ring 220; for example, when the air guiding direction of the guide wings of the first air guide ring 210 is to the left, the air guiding direction of the guide wings of the second air guide ring 220 is to the right; or when the air guiding direction of the guide wings of the first air guide ring 210 is upward, the air guiding direction of the guide wings of the second air guide ring 220 is downward. In this embodiment, the structures of the various air guide rings are basically the same, and the guide wings of the air guide rings are evenly arranged. The plurality of air guide rings are arranged at the air outlet frame 100 of the air conditioner, and can be arranged in multiple layers in sequence along the incoming wind direction. The spacing between the various air guide rings is also the same. When the multiple air guide rings overlap, they partially cover the air outlet frame 100.

[0033] The magnetic transmission mechanism 300 is arranged on both sides of each air guide ring, and the magnetic transmission mechanism 300 includes a variable magnet component, a running track 330 and a moving electromagnet 320. The variable magnet component is arranged on the columns 110 on both sides of the air outlet frame 100, and includes a plurality of fixed electromagnets 310, which are arranged along both sides of the running track 330 and are arranged opposite to each other. Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, the moving electromagnet 320 is arranged on the running track 330 and fixedly connected to the side of the air guide ring. By changing the magnetic pole direction of the variable magnetic component, the moving electromagnet 320 can move along the running track 330, thereby driving the air guide ring to move along the air outlet frame 100.

[0034] Under the control of the current direction and a certain coil winding method, the moving electromagnet 320 and the relatively arranged fixed electromagnet 310 are made to face each other with the same magnetic poles, such as Figure 6 As shown, under the control of the fixed electromagnets 310 on both sides, the relative positions of the electromagnets are kept fixed, so that the moving electromagnet 320 in the middle can be suspended and move along the running track 330.

[0035] The principle of the magnetic transmission mechanism 300 controlling the movement of the air guide ring is as follows: Figure 7 As shown, multiple fixed electromagnets 310 are fixed on both sides of the air outlet frame 100, and the magnetic pole directions of the relative fixed electromagnets 310 are opposite through current and coils. The moving electromagnet 320 is arranged in the middle channel and is placed in a specific initial position, that is, it can be attracted by the fixed electromagnet 310 in front and pushed by the fixed electromagnet 310 in the back to generate forward power. After the moving electromagnet 320 in the middle moves a certain distance, the magnetic pole directions of the fixed electromagnets 310 on both sides are quickly changed so that the moving electromagnet 320 always maintains the suction and thrust in the forward direction. By repeating the above process and changing the magnetic pole directions of adjacent fixed electromagnets, the moving electromagnet 320 can be controlled to move forward or backward along the running track 330, that is, the lifting and lowering of the air guide ring can be realized.

[0036] The above-mentioned magnetic transmission asymmetric air guide structure can realize the control of wind direction and air volume at a specific height and area by controlling the lifting of the first air guide ring 210 or the second air guide ring 220 through the magnetic transmission mechanism 300. When the first air guide ring 210 and the second air guide ring 220 are arranged in a single layer in a staggered manner, a single-sided air supply mode at any position of the air outlet can be realized. In other areas of the air outlet, it is a normal air supply mode, and the normal air supply provides a large air volume and cooling capacity. When the first air guide ring 210 and the second air guide ring 220 are arranged in a multi-layer overlapping manner, it is a scattered wind mode in which two layers of air guide rings are superimposed to supply air. At this time, the guide wings on the first air guide ring 210 and the second air guide ring 220 form a staggered structure in the front and rear directions along the air outlet direction, so that the air outlet volume is minimized, the wind speed is reduced, and the experience is comfortable.

[0037] The magnetic transmission asymmetric air guide structure of the present invention has changeable air supply direction, wide air supply range, small swing loss, controllable wind speed, and good comfort experience; the magnetic transmission mechanism 300 moves the air outlet baffle up and down according to the principle of magnetic levitation, improves operating efficiency and reduces operating noise; the guide wing is fixedly arranged on the air guide ring, and different air supply modes are realized through the first air guide ring 210 and the second air guide ring 220. It has a simple structure and is easy to control.

[0038] In this embodiment, one first air guide ring 210 and one second air guide ring 220 are respectively provided. It is understandable that in other embodiments, a plurality of first air guide rings 210 and second air guide rings 220 may be provided, and when executing different air supply modes, the air guide rings may be controlled to be arranged side by side in a single layer or to be arranged in multiple layers in an overlapping manner.

[0039] Furthermore, if Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, each air guide ring is provided with 4 to 8 guide wings 230. Preferably, each air guide ring is provided with 6 guide wings. The inlet end 231 of the guide wing 230 is parallel to the incoming wind direction, and the outlet end 232 of the guide wing 230 is at an angle of 45° to the incoming wind direction. This can minimize wind resistance, reduce air volume loss, and guide the airflow to the target direction.

[0040] Furthermore, the guide wing 230 is a wing-shaped structure with a smooth curved surface, and the thickness of the inlet end 231 of the guide wing 230 is greater than the thickness of the outlet end 232, which further reduces wind resistance, reduces air volume loss, and has a wider air outlet range.

[0041] The present invention also includes an air conditioner, including an air outlet frame 100, on which the above-mentioned magnetic transmission asymmetric air guide structure is arranged. The fixed electromagnet 310 is fixedly arranged on the air outlet frame 100 on both sides of the air guide plate, specifically on the column 110 of the air outlet frame 100.

[0042] Furthermore, a storage cavity is connected to one end of the air outlet frame 100, and the magnetic transmission mechanism 300 extends into the storage cavity, and the storage cavity is used to store the first air guide ring 210 and / or the second air guide ring 220. When the air guide ring is not in use, it can be stored in the storage cavity, and the maximum air volume mode is in this case. In this embodiment, the storage cavity is arranged at the lower part of the air conditioner.

[0043] In another embodiment, the first air guide ring 210 and the second air guide ring 220 are respectively connected to a driving device (not shown), which can make the air guide do circular motion around the axis of the air conditioner housing. When the air guide ring rotates to the air outlet, the single-side air outlet mode or the scattered air mode is turned on; when the air guide ring rotates to one side of the air outlet, it is the normal air outlet mode, and the storage chamber can be omitted.

[0044] The above-mentioned embodiments only express several implementation methods of the present invention, and the description thereof is relatively specific and detailed, but it cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the patent of the present invention. It should be pointed out that, for ordinary technicians in this field, several variations and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present invention, which all belong to the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the patent of the present invention shall be subject to the attached claims.
