[0031] 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.

[0032] Reference Figure 1-Figure 4 and Figure 7 The variable position 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 variable position asymmetric air guide structure includes a plurality of air guide rings and a transmission mechanism 300 for driving each air guide ring to move.

[0033] 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. The transmission mechanism 300 can drive each air guide ring to move up and down along the air outlet frame 100 .

[0034] The above-mentioned variable position 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 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.

[0035] The variable position asymmetric air guide structure of the present invention has changeable air supply direction, wide air supply range, small swing loss, controllable wind speed, and better comfort experience; the guide wings are 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.

[0036] like Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, the transmission mechanism 300 specifically includes a plurality of motors 310, a plurality of gears 320 and a guide rail 330. The motor 310 and the gear 320 are fixedly arranged at the end of one side of each air guide ring, and the output shaft of the motor 310 is connected to the gear 320 to drive the gear 320 to rotate. The guide rail 330 is connected to the air outlet frame 100, and a toothed groove structure meshing with the gear 320 is provided on the guide rail 330, and the gear 320 meshes with the toothed groove structure. The motor 310 drives the gear 320 to move along the guide rail 330, thereby driving each air guide ring to move up and down along the air outlet frame 100.

[0037] 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.

[0038] Further, as shown in the figure and the figure, each air guide ring is provided with 4 to 8 guide wings 230. Preferably, each air guide ring is provided with 6 guide wings 230. 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. In this way, the wind resistance can be minimized, the air volume loss can be reduced, and the airflow can be guided to the target direction.

[0039] like Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, 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 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.

[0040] The present invention also includes an air conditioner, including an air outlet frame 100, on which the above-mentioned different-direction air guide structure is arranged. Furthermore, a storage chamber is connected to one end of the air outlet frame 100, and the transmission mechanism 300 extends into the storage chamber, and the storage chamber 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 chamber, and the maximum air volume mode is in this case. In this embodiment, the storage chamber is arranged at the lower part of the air conditioner.

[0041] 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.

[0042] 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.
