Detailed Implementation

[0032] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0033] In the description of this invention, "several" means one or more, "multiple" means two or more, "greater than", "less than", "exceeding" are understood to exclude the number itself, and "above", "below", "within" are understood to include the number itself.

[0034] In the description of this invention, unless otherwise explicitly defined, terms such as "set up," "install," and "connect" should be interpreted broadly, and those skilled in the art can reasonably determine the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention in conjunction with the specific content of the technical solution.

[0035] The air conditioner 100 of the present invention, as described in the embodiment, refers to... Figure 1 The air conditioner 100 includes an air outlet frame 120, a base 130, and an air guide 140. The base 130 and the air outlet frame 120 are detachably connected, and the air guide 140 is rotatably mounted on the base 130.

[0036] The air conditioner 100 includes a panel 110, which has an air outlet 111. The processed cold or hot air in the air conditioner 100 is blown out from the air outlet 111, and an air outlet frame 120 is installed at the air outlet 111.

[0037] When it is necessary to clean the air outlet frame 120, the base 130, and the air guide strip 140, the base 130 is removed from the air outlet frame 120. Specifically, the base 130 and the air guide strip 140 installed on the base 130 are separated from the air outlet frame 120, so that the air guide strip 140 and the base 130 are detached from the air outlet frame 120. Then the air guide strip 140 is cleaned separately. After cleaning, the base 130 and the air guide strip 140 are reinstalled on the air outlet frame 120 to complete the assembly, which is convenient for cleaning.

[0038] Understandably, referring to Figure 2 and Figure 6 The structure between the air guide strip 140 and the base 130 is an integral structure. This integral structure, composed of the two components, is separable from the air outlet frame 120. This detachable design allows workers to remove multiple air guide strips 140 from the air outlet frame 120 before cleaning, greatly improving disassembly and assembly efficiency. In this embodiment of the invention, it is understood that once the air outlet frame 120 is installed at the air outlet 111 of the entire air conditioner 100, it is difficult to remove it entirely. Therefore, by integrating multiple air guide strips 140 using the base 130 in this embodiment, all air guide strips 140 can be removed from the air outlet frame 120 simultaneously during disassembly, keeping the air outlet frame 120 fixed at the air outlet 111. This greatly improves disassembly and installation efficiency and reduces the difficulty of disassembly.

[0039] As can be understood from the attached drawings, the installation and fit between the base 130 and the air outlet frame 120 is as follows: the base 130 is detachably connected to the air outlet frame 120; the middle part of the air guide strip 140 is rotatably fitted with the base 130 through the rotating shaft 141; the upper and lower ends of the air guide strip 140 are provided with rotating parts, which are inserted into the air outlet frame 120; during the rotation process, the air guide strip 140 rotates around the central axis of the rotating parts and the rotating shaft 141, so the central axis of the rotating parts and the rotating shaft 141 should coincide. During disassembly, first remove the base 130 from the air outlet frame 120, and then pull the rotating part of the air guide 140 out of the air outlet frame 120. It is understood that the air guide 140 is made of plastic material and has a certain deformation capacity. When disassembling the air guide 140, slightly bend the air guide 140 and pull the rotating part out of the air outlet frame 120. The slight deformation of the air guide 140 will not cause damage to the air guide 140.

[0040] It is understood that the air guide 140 and the base 130 can be either detachable or non-detachable. In some embodiments, in a non-detachable structure between the air guide 140 and the base 130, a mounting member 131 is provided on the base 130, and the rotating shaft 141 of the air guide 140 is inserted into the mounting member 131, allowing the shaft 141 to rotate within the mounting member 131. In other embodiments, refer to... Figure 4 and Figure 8 It is understandable that in the detachable structure between the air guide strip 140 and the base 130, the base 130 has a mounting part 131 with a notch 1311. The mounting part 131 is an arc ring with a radius greater than 180°. The rotating shaft 141 of the air guide strip 140 is inserted into the mounting part 131 through the notch 1311 and can rotate in the mounting part 131. In this structure, when cleaning, the air guide strip 140 and the base 130 can be removed from the air outlet frame 120 at the same time, and then multiple air guide strips 140 can be removed from the base 130 for individual cleaning, which makes cleaning easier. Specifically, the width of the notch 1311 should be smaller than the diameter of the rotating shaft 141, so as to ensure that the air guide 140 will not come out of the mounting part 131. During the installation and disassembly process, the width of the notch 1311 changes due to the elastic deformation of the mounting part 131 itself, so that the air guide 140 can be inserted into the mounting part 131 and removed from the mounting part 131.

[0041] Specifically, the aforementioned mounting component 131 can be a ring-shaped component, which engages with the rotating shaft 141 through a groove, allowing the rotating shaft 141 to rotate within the groove. Furthermore, the mounting component 131 can be a structure formed by secondary injection molding on the base 130 and made of a self-lubricating material, thereby making the fit between the mounting component 131 and the rotating shaft 141 smoother.

[0042] Referring to the attached diagram, it can be understood that the air guide vane 140 is driven to rotate by the motor 143, wherein, for reference... Figure 2 In some embodiments, each air guide 140 is connected to a motor 143, and a single motor 143 drives a single air guide 140 to rotate; while in other embodiments, refer to Figure 6 and Figure 10 A linkage mechanism 142 is provided between multiple air guide strips 140. The linkage mechanism 142 and the air guide strips 140 are rotatably engaged. Only one air guide strip 140 is connected to a drive motor 143. The motor 143 drives one of the air guide strips 140 to rotate. Specifically, the linkage mechanism 142 includes a straight rod and a rotating part set on the straight rod. The straight rod can move in the air outlet frame 120. The air guide strip 140 and the rotating part are rotatably engaged. When the motor 143 drives the air guide strip 140 to rotate, the straight rod slides in the air outlet frame 120 and drives the other air guide strips 140 to swing in the same direction.

[0043] Understandably, referring to Figure 5 The base 130 is provided with mounting holes 132. (See reference...) Figure 3 and Figure 4Screws are inserted into the mounting hole 132, and the air outlet frame 120 is provided with screw holes corresponding to the mounting hole 132. The screws are inserted into the screw holes for fixing, thereby installing the base 130 onto the air outlet frame 120. When disassembling, simply unscrew the screws from the mounting hole 132 to remove the base 130 from the air outlet frame 120.

[0044] Specifically, refer to Figure 5 It is understandable that the air outlet frame 120 is provided with a positioning groove, which matches the base 130. The positioning groove is provided with screw holes. During the installation process, the base 130 is first assembled into the positioning groove for preliminary positioning. Specifically, the base 130 is embedded into the positioning groove so that the mounting hole 132 and the screw hole are set accordingly. Finally, the base 130 is installed onto the air outlet frame 120 by inserting screws.

[0045] Understandably, referring to Figure 8 The base 130 may also be provided with a snap-fit ​​component 133, wherein the air outlet frame 120 is provided with a snap-fit ​​groove 121, and the snap-fit ​​component 133 and the snap-fit ​​groove 121 engage to allow the base 130 to be installed onto the air outlet frame 120. (See reference...) Figure 9 Specifically, the base 130 has snap-fit ​​parts 133 on both sides, and the air outlet frame 120 has a snap-fit ​​groove 121 that snaps into the snap-fit ​​parts 133.

[0046] Reference Figure 8 It is understood that in some embodiments, an elastic pressing portion 134 is provided on any one or both sides of the base 130, and a snap-fit ​​member 133 is provided on the pressing portion 134. The elastic pressing portion 134 can deform to allow the snap-fit ​​member 133 to disengage from the slot 121. It is understood that when the base 130 needs to be removed, pressing the pressing portion 134 causes it to contract, causing the snap-fit ​​member 133 on the pressing portion 134 to disengage from the slot 121, thereby allowing the entire base 130 or one end of the base 130 to disengage from the air outlet frame 120, and finally the entire base 130 can be disassembled for convenient use. During installation, the base 130 is directly inserted into the installation position of the air outlet frame 120. During the installation process, the pressing part 134 is squeezed. When the base 130 is installed in the installation position, the snap-fit ​​part 133 is directly snapped into the slot 121, and the elasticity of the pressing part 134 is used to make the snap-fit ​​part 133 snapped into the slot 121.

[0047] Specifically, refer to Figure 8 and Figure 9In some embodiments, the pressing part 134 is only provided at one end of the base 130. It is understood that the snap-fit ​​member 133 on the base 130 includes a first snap-fit ​​member 1331 and a second snap-fit ​​member 1332. At the two ends where the base 130 and the air outlet frame 120 cooperate, one end of the base 130 is provided with the pressing part 134 and the second snap-fit ​​member 1332, and the other end of the base 130 is provided with the first snap-fit ​​member 1331. The pressing part 134 is elastic. When the base 130 needs to be removed, pressing the pressing part 134 will cause the second snap-fit ​​member to come out of the slot 121.

[0048] It is understood that the pressing part 134 mentioned above includes a connecting edge 1341 and a pressing edge 1342. The connecting edge 1341 is arc-shaped and connects the pressing edge 1342 and the edge of the base 130. The second snap-fit ​​member 1332 is disposed on the pressing edge 1342. In the actual installation process, pressing the pressing edge 1342 causes the pressing part 134 to retract toward the edge of the base 130. Specifically, the connecting edge 1341 is compressed, thereby causing the second snap-fit ​​member 1332 to disengage from the slot 121 and removing the end of the base 130 with the pressing part 134 from the air outlet frame 120.

[0049] It is understood that in some embodiments of the present invention, the pressing part 134 may also be a rubber part disposed at the end of the base 130, and the snap-fit ​​part 133 is disposed on the rubber part. By pressing the rubber part, the snap-fit ​​part 133 may be offset, thereby causing the snap-fit ​​part 133 to disengage from the snap-fit ​​groove 121.

[0050] Understandably, referring to Figure 8 The air outlet frame 120 is also provided with a recess 122 for the pressing part 134 to be inserted. When the base 130 is installed in the installation position of the air outlet frame 120, the pressing part 134 can be inserted into the recess 122 to provide a positioning function and prevent the base 130 from sliding.

[0051] It is understood that in other embodiments, pressing parts 134 can be provided on both sides of the base 130. During disassembly, both ends need to be pressed simultaneously to make the snap fasteners 133 on the pressing parts 134 disengage from the slots 121 and remove the base 130 from the air outlet frame 120.

[0052] Specifically, it can be understood that the base 130 and the air outlet frame 120 can simultaneously have two installation combinations: the snap-fit ​​between the snap-fit ​​component 133 and the slot 121, and the screw fixing, which can further improve the stability of the entire structure.

[0053] Understandably, to ensure smoother cooperation between the base 130 and the air outlet frame 120, as well as between the base 130 and the air guide 140, the base 130 is made of a self-lubricating material to reduce frictional resistance and minimize wear during assembly and disassembly. Specifically, self-lubricating materials include nylon, graphite, etc.

[0054] The embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
