[0035] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0036] The present solution provides an air guide assembly and an air conditioner, wherein the air guide assembly is installed on an air outlet frame 400 of the air conditioner, and the air guide assembly includes an air guide plate 100 and a support member 200 for connecting to the air outlet frame 400, wherein the support member 200 is provided with a second connection structure 210 for detachably rotating with the first connection structure 300, and the first connection structure 300 is connected to or detached from the second connection structure 210 by sliding movement. The support member 200 is installed on the air outlet frame 400 by bonding or screw fastening. The first connection structure 300 of the air guide plate 100 corresponds to the second connection structure 210 of the support member 200. The first connection structure 300 is pushed, and the first connection structure 300 moves toward the second connection structure 210, so that the first connection structure 300 is rotatably connected with the second connection structure 210. The support member 200 has a simple structure and is easy to process. The air guide plate 100 can be detachably connected to the support member 200, and connected to the air outlet frame 400 through the support member 200, so that the air guide plate 100 is detachably connected relative to the air outlet frame 400, which is convenient for the maintenance and replacement of the air guide plate 100, and effectively avoids the bending of the air guide plate 100 during the installation process. The air guide plate 100 has good stability. In this solution, the first connection structure 300 and the second connection structure 210 can be a pin-and-socket matching structure or a buckle-and-slot connection structure, and the buckle can be rotated in the slot after being inserted into the slot.

[0037] Combination Figure 1-5 In this embodiment, the first connecting structure 300 and the second connecting structure 210 are detachably connected through a pin-and-socket matching structure. The wind guide assembly includes a wind guide plate 100, a support member 200, a first connecting structure 300 and a second connecting structure 210. The wind guide plate 100 is provided with a connecting seat 110, a slide rail 120 and a positioning slider 130. The support member 200 is provided with a concave structure 220. The first connecting structure 300 includes a pin shaft portion 310 and a sliding portion 320. The first connecting structure 300 is also provided with a slide groove 321 and a flaring structure 322 provided on the slide groove 321.

[0038] The support member 200 can be installed on the air outlet frame 400 of the air conditioner by gluing or screwing, and the contour of the concave structure 220 is arc-shaped. The concave structure 220 is used to make the support member 200 fit the contour of the air outlet frame 400, thereby ensuring the stability of the installation of the support member 200 and the compactness of the internal structure of the air conditioner. It is understood by those skilled in the art that in this embodiment, the support member 200 can also be integrally injection molded with the air outlet frame 400.

[0039] A second connection structure 210 is disposed on a side of the support member 200 opposite to the concave structure 220. The second connection structure 210 has a connection hole 211. A first connection structure 300 is installed on the inner side of the air outlet plate. The first connection structure 300 is slidably mounted on the air guide plate 100. Figure 1-2 As shown, the connection seat 110 and the positioning slider 130 are respectively located at the two ends of the sliding direction of the slide rail 120. The connection seat 110 includes a first ear seat 111 and a second ear seat 112 that are spaced apart. The first ear seat 111 and the second ear seat 112 are respectively provided with fixing holes for rotationally connecting with the first connection structure 300. The first connection structure 300 moves toward the connection seat 110, and the pin shaft portion 310 of the first connection structure 300 can pass through the fixing hole of the first ear seat 111 and the fixing hole of the second ear seat 112 in sequence. The slide groove 321 of the first connection structure 300 is provided in the sliding portion 320 of the first connection. The slide groove 321 is respectively slidably connected to the slide rail 120 and the positioning slider 130. The peripheral side of the positioning slider 130 away from the end of the air guide plate 100 is provided with an anti-slip protrusion 131. The slide groove 321 is provided with a flaring structure 322 for cooperating with the anti-slip protrusion 131. Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the flared structure 322 is located on the side of the slide groove 321 close to the pin shaft portion 310. When the first connecting structure 300 is installed, the flared structure 322 is positioned corresponding to the anti-slip protrusion 131 of the positioning slider 130, and the first connecting structure 300 is pressed toward the air guide plate 100, so that the slide groove 321 of the first connecting structure 300 cooperates with the slide rail 120 of the air guide plate 100. After the first connecting structure 300 moves, since the length of the contour of the anti-slip protrusion 131 in the width direction of the slide groove 321 is greater than the width of the slide groove 321, the first connecting structure 300 is stuck between the anti-slip protrusion 131 and the air guide plate 100 after sliding, which effectively prevents the first connecting structure 300 from falling off.

[0040] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 4As shown, the state when the first connecting structure 300 is connected to the second connecting structure 210 is defined as a connected state, and the state when the first connecting structure 300 is disconnected from the second connecting structure 210 is defined as a disconnected state. In this solution, when the first connecting member moves toward the connecting seat 110 and rotates to connect the connecting seat 110 and the second connecting structure 210 respectively, the flaring structure 322 and the anti-detachment protrusion 131 are in a misaligned state; when the pin shaft portion 310 of the first connecting structure 300 is completely disconnected from the connecting seat 110, the flaring structure 322 and the anti-detachment protrusion 131 are in a corresponding state, thereby removing the first connecting structure 300 from the air guide plate 100.

[0041] like Figure 2 As shown, the second connection structure 210 is integrally formed with the support member 200, and the second connection structure 210 is protrudingly disposed on the support member 200, so that after the support member 200 is rotatably connected with the air deflector 100, the rotation of the air deflector 100 is not blocked by the support member 200. When the air deflector 100 is connected with the support member 200, the second connection structure 210 is located between the first ear seat 111 and the second ear seat 112, and the connection hole 211 corresponds to the fixing hole of the first ear seat 111 and the fixing hole of the second ear seat 112 respectively, pushing the first connection structure 300 to slide toward the fixing seat, and the pin shaft portion 310 of the first connection structure 300 passes through the fixing hole of the first ear seat 111, the connection hole 211 and the fixing hole of the second ear seat 112 in sequence, so as to realize the rotation connection between the support member 200 and the air deflector 100.

[0042] In this solution, a plurality of first connection structures 300 may be arranged at intervals in the length direction of the air guide plate 100. Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the air guide plate 100 is provided with three first connection structures 300, and the support member 200 is correspondingly provided with three. When there are multiple air guide plates 100, the number of second connection structures 210 provided on each support member 200 is the same as the number of air guide plates 100, so that the support member 200 can be installed and fixed with multiple air guide plates 100, thereby improving the stability of the air guide plates 100. When there are multiple air guide plates 100, the multiple air guide plates 100 can be connected by a wind sweeping connecting rod (not shown in the figure), and a bearing sleeve 140 is installed on the air guide plate 100 corresponding to the middle part of the air outlet frame 400, and the rotating shaft of the driving motor 500 is fixedly connected to the bearing sleeve 140. The driving motor 500 drives one air guide plate 100 to rotate, and then drives all the air guide plates 100 to rotate through the wind sweeping connecting rod to ensure the consistency of the air outlet angle.

[0043] This embodiment also provides an air conditioner, which is equipped with the above-mentioned air guide assembly.

[0044] In summary, the present invention provides an air guide assembly and an air conditioner, wherein the air guide assembly includes an air guide plate 100 and a support member 200 for connecting to an air outlet frame 400, wherein the support member 200 is provided with a second connection structure 210 for detachably rotating with the first connection structure 300, wherein the first connection structure 300 is connected to the second connection structure 210 or detached from the second connection structure 210 by sliding movement, wherein in the present invention, the first connection structure 300 is connected to the second connection structure 210 by a plug-in socket matching structure, wherein the first connection structure 300 has a pin shaft portion 310, and the second connection structure 210 is provided with a pin shaft portion 310 for rotating with the pin shaft portion 310. 0 matches the connecting hole 211. In order to limit the movement of the support member 200 in the axial direction of the pin shaft, the guide plate is provided with a connecting seat 110. The connecting seat 110 is a double-ear seat structure. The second connecting structure 210 is arranged between the first ear seat 111 and the second ear seat 112 to ensure the stability of the connection between the guide plate and the support member 200. The support member 200 has a simple structure and is easy to process. The air guide plate 100 is installed on the air outlet frame 400 through the support member 200. The air guide plate 100 and the support member 200 are detachably connected, which is convenient for the maintenance and replacement of the air guide plate 100. The structure is simple, and the bending phenomenon of the air guide plate 100 during the installation process in the existing structure is effectively avoided.
