[0034] Embodiment 1

[0035] This embodiment provides an air supply assembly. Please refer to Figure 1-8 , which includes an upper and lower air guiding assembly 4 and a left and right air sweeping assembly 5. The left and right air sweeping assembly 5 is provided with a sweeping frame 57 and a plurality of sweeping blades 51 arranged on the sweeping frame 57 that can achieve left and right air sweeping; the upper and lower air guiding assembly 4 is provided with a guiding frame 44 and a plurality of guiding plates 41 arranged on the guiding frame 44 that can achieve upper and lower air guiding; at least one groove is provided on the sweeping frame 57, and a protrusion corresponding to the groove is provided on the guiding frame 44. The upper and lower air guiding assembly 4 is detachably connected to the left and right air sweeping assembly 5 by placing the protrusion in the corresponding groove and can form an integral member. Specifically, two grooves are respectively provided on the left and right sides of the sweeping frame 57, and protrusions corresponding to the grooves are provided at the positions on the guiding frame 44 corresponding to the connection with the sweeping frame 57. The upper and lower air guiding assembly 4 is positioned above the left and right air sweeping assembly 5 through the grooves. Through the above connection method, the detachable connection between the upper and lower air guiding assembly 4 and the left and right air sweeping assembly 5 is realized, solving the problems of complex connection structure and low assembly efficiency in the existing structure. Further optimized, a fastener is provided between the sweeping frame 57 and the guiding frame 44 to further stabilize the upper and lower air guiding structure and the left and right air sweeping structure. Specifically, a pin hole can be provided on the sweeping frame 57, and a through hole corresponding to the pin hole is provided on the guiding frame 44. The upper and lower air guiding structure and the left and right air sweeping structure are fixedly connected by passing a pin through the through hole and fixing it in the pin hole.

[0036] Further, the upper and lower air guide components 4 also include an air guide connecting rod 42 and an air guide motor 43; the air guide connecting rod 42 is provided with a card slot 432, the air guide plate 41 is provided with a card connection portion 411, the air guide plate 41 is carded in the card slot 432 through the card connection portion 411, and the air guide motor 43 is arranged on the air guide frame 44, driving the air guide plate 41 to rotate to achieve the upper and lower air guide, preferably, the air guide connecting rod 42 and the air guide motor 43 are arranged in pairs on both sides of the air guide plate 41. The air guide plate 41 is driven to rotate by the dual-motor dual-connecting rod structure to achieve the upper and lower air guide function, which makes the air guide plate 41 run more smoothly compared to the single motor or gear drive in the prior art. Further optimized, the air supply component is also provided with a motor cover 6, the motor cover 6 includes a left motor cover 61 and a right motor cover 62, the left motor cover 61 and the right motor cover 62 are fixed to the upper and lower air guide components 4 and the left and right wind sweeping components 5 on the left and right sides, and the left and right assembly holes in the upper and lower air guide components 4 are sealed. The problem of poor sealing of the upper air outlet component in the existing structure, which may cause condensation, is solved. Preferably, the left motor cover 61 and the right motor cover 62 are set in an elongated shape to increase their coverage area, and further and more effectively seal the assembly holes in the upper and lower air guide components 4 to prevent condensation caused by wind. At the same time, the motor cover 6 connects the upper and lower air guide components 4 and the left and right wind sweeping components 5, which further stabilizes the air supply components. In actual products, the air guide frame 44 can also be set as a panel grille through which air can pass, and the air guide plate 41 is set on the panel grille. The setting of the panel grille can prevent users from putting their hands into the air supply component, thereby protecting users. At the same time, the setting of the panel grille is stronger and more sturdy than the frame structure, which increases the service life of the upper and lower air guide components 4.

[0037] Further, the left and right wind sweeping components 5 also include a wind sweeping motor 53 and a wind sweeping connecting rod 52. The wind sweeping connecting rod 52 is provided with a mounting hole 521. The wind sweeping blade 51 is provided with a mounting portion 511. The wind sweeping connecting rod 52 is clamped on the mounting portion 511. The wind sweeping motor 53 drives and connects a wind sweeping blade 51 so that the wind sweeping blade 51 drives the remaining wind sweeping blades 51 to rotate left and right together through the wind sweeping connecting rod 52. Optionally, a wind sweeping cover 54 can be provided on the wind sweeping motor 53 to protect the wind sweeping motor 53. Further optimized, the wind sweeping blade 51 is connected to the wind sweeping frame 57 by an inward core pulling structure 56 to prevent the wind from leaking out of the connection structure during the wind guiding process, causing condensation.

[0038] The above scheme provides separately assembled upper and lower air guide components 4 and left and right air sweeping components 5, and provides easy-to-install and disassemble protrusions and grooves on the air sweeping frame 57 and the air guide frame 44, so that the upper and lower air guide components 4 and the left and right air sweeping components 5 form an air supply component that is easy to install and disassemble, thereby making the assembly method simpler when assembling the air supply component with other components, improving the work efficiency in actual assembly, reducing assembly costs, and solving the problems of complex connection structure and low assembly efficiency in the existing structure.
