[0028] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0029] As Figures 1 - 6 shown, the air deflector assembly provided by the embodiment of the present invention includes: an air deflector 100, and a swing blade 200 rotatably arranged on the air deflector 100 and capable of automatically rotating when the air conditioner blows air; wherein, the swing blade 200 is located inside the air deflector 100.

[0030] It should be noted that the inside of the air deflector 100 refers to the side of the air deflector 100 facing the inside of the indoor unit of the air conditioner when the air deflector assembly is closed. The swing blade 200 can automatically rotate when the air conditioner blows air, which means that the swing blade 200 can automatically rotate under the action of the air flow.

[0031] In the air deflector assembly provided by the embodiment of the present invention, the swing blade 200 can automatically rotate when the air conditioner blows air, so that the swing blade 200 rotates irregularly when the air blows, and the air discharged from the swing blade 200 is also irregular, increasing the diffusion flow of the air and no longer blowing the air in a single direction; moreover, since the swing blade 200 is located inside the air deflector 100, the air flowing out through the swing blade 200 and the air flowing out through the air deflector 100 meet at the air outlet, at least being able to abut against part of the air feeling. Therefore, the above air deflector assembly effectively reduces the direct air blowing feeling and improves the user experience.

[0032] In the above air deflector assembly, there are multiple swing blades 200, which are arranged in sequence along the length direction of the air deflector 100. For the number of the swing blades 200, it is selected according to actual needs, and this embodiment does not limit it.

[0033] In order to increase the diffusion effect of the swing blade 200, the above swing blade 200 includes: at least two cross - arranged blades 210.

[0034] Furthermore, the above-mentioned blades 210 are arranged to cross each other in the middle. For example, there are two blades 210, which cross in a "plus" shape. Of course, if there are three blades 210, they cross in a star shape. Specifically, the star shape is "*". In order to maximize the diffusion of air flow, the blades 210 are circular blades. In this way, when the swing blades 200 rotate, a spherical shape can be formed, ensuring the irregularity of the rotation directions of each swing blade 200 and thus ensuring the irregularity of the air outlet, making the air form multiple air flows in different directions. The air flowing out through the swing blades 200 and the air flowing out through the air deflector 100 meet at the air outlet, enabling the air sensations to abut against each other, ultimately achieving a draft-free air outlet, eliminating the direct blowing sensation, and further enhancing the user experience.

[0035] For the specific number of the blades 210, it is selected according to actual needs, and this embodiment does not limit it.

[0036] In the above-mentioned air deflector assembly, the swing blade 200 can also be selected as a spherical part. In order to reduce the weight, the swing blade 200 can be selected as a hollow part.

[0037] The above-mentioned swing blade 200 can be a split structure or an integral structure. For the convenience of manufacturing, it is preferably selected that the swing blade 200 is an integral structure.

[0038] For the convenience of installation, the above-mentioned swing blade 200 is rotatably arranged on the air deflector 100 through a rotating shaft 400. Further, the rotating shaft 400 and the swing blade 200 are of an integral structure.

[0039] For the simplicity of installation, a groove 440 is opened at the end of the above-mentioned rotating shaft 400 so that the rotating shaft 400 can be inserted into the installation hole on the air deflector 100 and rotatably cooperate with the installation hole, where the end of the rotating shaft 400 is the end of the rotating shaft 400 away from the swing blade 200.

[0040] In the above structure, by setting the groove 440, the rotating shaft 400 can be deformed, and the deformation of the rotating shaft 400 is used to assemble the rotating shaft 400, which facilitates the insertion of the rotating shaft 400 into the installation hole, thus simplifying the installation. For the depth of the groove 440, it is selected according to actual needs, and this embodiment does not limit it.

[0041] For the simplicity of the structure, it is preferably selected that the above-mentioned rotating shaft 400 is snap-connected to the air deflector 100. Specifically, the rotating shaft 400 has an inserted shaft section 410, a rotationally mating shaft section 420, and an installation shaft section 430 that are fixedly connected, and the diameters of both the inserted shaft section 410 and the installation shaft section 430 are larger than the diameter of the rotationally mating shaft section 420; among them, the groove 440 is opened on the inserted shaft section 410, or the groove 440 is opened on both the inserted shaft section 410 and the rotationally mating shaft section 420; the above-mentioned installation shaft section 430 is fixedly connected to the swing blade 200.

[0042] After the rotating shaft 400 and the air deflector 100 are installed, the air deflector 100 is stuck on the rotating mating shaft section 420, and the installation shaft section 430 and the insertion shaft section 410 realize the limitation of the air deflector 100. In this way, there is no need to use other components to assemble the rotating shaft 400 and the air deflector 100, effectively simplifying the structure and also simplifying the assembly.

[0043] Furthermore, the above-mentioned insertion shaft section 410 tapers from its head end to its tail end, and the head end of the insertion shaft section 410 is connected to the rotating mating shaft section 420. In this way, the insertion shaft section 410 itself has a guiding function, which is convenient for inserting into the installation hole on the air deflector 100.

[0044] For the convenience of production, the above-mentioned insertion shaft section 410, rotating mating shaft section 420 and installation shaft section 430 are of an integral structure. Of course, the above three parts can also be selected as a split structure, which is not limited to the above embodiments.

[0045] In the above-mentioned air deflector assembly, the limiting plate of the swing blade 200 can also be selected to replace the installation shaft section 430, and the limiting plate of the swing blade 200 is used to limit the air deflector 100.

[0046] The above-mentioned swing blade 200 is rotatably arranged on the air deflector 100. In order to improve the aesthetics and reduce the influence on the air guiding function of the air deflector 100, the above-mentioned air deflector 100 includes an outer air deflector 110 and an inner air deflector 120 that are fixedly connected. The swing blade 200 is rotatably arranged on the inner air deflector 120, and the swing blade 200 is located inside the inner air deflector 120. The outer air deflector 110 is used for air guiding and is located outside the inner air deflector 120. At this time, the inner air deflector 120 is provided with an installation hole for installing the rotating shaft 400.

[0047] It can be understood that when the air deflector assembly is closed, the inner air deflector 120 is located on the side of the outer air deflector 110 close to the inside of the air conditioner indoor unit, and the inner side of the inner air deflector 120 refers to the side of the inner air deflector 120 close to the inside of the air conditioner indoor unit.

[0048] In the above-mentioned air deflector 100, the rotating shaft 400 is blocked by the outer air deflector 110, which improves the aesthetics and also avoids opening an installation hole on the outer air deflector 110, ensuring the air guiding function.

[0049] In order to improve the air guiding effect, the above-mentioned outer air deflector 110 is an arc-shaped plate bent along its width direction. In this way, the air outlet along the arc-shaped plate is realized. At this time, the air flowing out through the swing blade 200 and the air flowing out through the air deflector 100 meet at the air outlet, which is convenient for the air senses to abut against each other, further improving the effect of the air outlet without air sense.

[0050] Of course, the outer air guide plate 110 described above can also be selected in other shapes, such as a flat plate shape, or other curved plate shapes, etc., and is not limited to the above embodiments.

[0051] In the above air guide plate 100, the inner air guide plate 120 and the outer air guide plate 110 can be an integral structure or a split structure. For the convenience of production, the former is preferably selected.

[0052] In the above air guide plate 100, the number of the inner air guide plates 120 on the outer air guide plate 110 is selected according to actual needs. Specifically, the inner air guide plate 120 can be one or more than two. When there are more than two inner air guide plates 120, the inner air guide plates 120 are distributed in sequence along the length direction of the outer air guide plate 110. For the convenience of production, it is preferably selected that the inner air guide plate 120 is at least two.

[0053] In order to improve the aesthetics and reduce costs, the above outer air guide plate 110 is larger than the inner air guide plate 120. Specifically, when the air guide plate assembly is closed, the outer air guide plate 110 can cover the inner air guide plate 120.
