The housing 10 has a detection port 11. The driving mechanism 20 is connected to the housing 10. The sensor assembly 30 is movably arranged in the housing 10, and the sensor assembly 30 has a hidden position hidden in the housing 10, and the sensor assembly 30 has a detection position when it is located at the detection port 11. The sensor assembly 30 is connected to the driving mechanism 20. The driving mechanism 20 is used to drive the sensor assembly 30 to be located at the hidden position and the detection position; the hidden door assembly 40 is movably connected to the housing 10.

When the driving mechanism 20 drives the sensor assembly 30 to be located in the detection position, the sensor assembly 30 drives the hidden door assembly 40 to be located in the avoidance position through the connecting rod mechanism 50.

[0052] In this embodiment, the hidden sensor device of the present application is adopted. By setting up a driving mechanism, the opening and closing of the hidden door assembly can be realized. At the same time, the hiding and opening of the sensor assembly 30 can be synchronously realized under the drive of the driving mechanism, thereby saving the number of driving mechanisms used and effectively saving the production cost of the hidden sensor device, especially reducing the production cost of the air conditioner with the hidden sensor device.

[0053] like Figure 1As shown, the sensor assembly 30 includes a mounting base 31 and a sensor 32.

The first end of the fifth link 515 is connected to the second end of the fourth link 514 through a sixth connecting shaft 66, and the second end of the fifth link 515 is connected to the first link 511 through a seventh connecting shaft 67. Such an arrangement can drive the hidden door assembly 40 to move to the open position or the avoidance position through the linkage of the connecting rods.

[0055] In order to improve the stability of the hidden door assembly 40 during movement, the first connecting rod assembly 51 further includes a first supporting rod 70. The first end of the first supporting rod 70 is connected to the end of the second end of the fifth connecting rod 515 through the eighth connecting shaft 68, the second end of the first supporting rod 70 is connected to the housing 10, and the fifth connecting shaft 65 is located between the eighth connecting shaft 68 and the fourth connecting shaft 64.

[0056] The hidden door assembly 40 includes a first door panel 41. The first door panel 41 is movably disposed in the housing 10, and the first door panel 41 is connected to the second connecting rod 512. The first door panel 41 has a closed position and an escape position. This arrangement enables the detection port to be opened or closed by a single door panel structure, which makes the hidden door assembly 40 simple in structure and highly reliable.

[0057] In order to improve the stability of the first door panel 41 when sliding, a first sliding groove 12 is provided in the housing 10 , and the first door panel 41 is slidably disposed in the housing 10 through the first sliding groove 12 .

[0058] In another embodiment of the present application, the link mechanism 50 may include a first link assembly 51 and a second link assembly 52. Figure 1 , Figures 7 to 9As shown, the link mechanism 50 includes a second link assembly 52. ​​The second link assembly 52 includes a sixth link 521, a seventh link 522, an eighth link 523, a ninth link 524 and a tenth link 525. The first end of the sixth link 521 is connected to the mounting base 31 through a ninth connecting shaft 71. The first end of the seventh link 522 is connected to the second end of the sixth link 521 through a tenth connecting shaft 72, and the second end of the seventh link 522 is connected to the hidden door assembly 40 through an eleventh connecting shaft 73. The first end of the eighth link 523 is connected to the sixth link 521 through a twelfth connecting shaft 74. The first end of the ninth link 524 is connected to the second end of the eighth link 523 through a thirteenth connecting shaft 75. The first end of the tenth link 525 is connected to the second end of the ninth link 524 through a fourteenth connecting shaft 76, and the second end of the tenth link 525 is connected to the sixth link 521 through a fifteenth connecting shaft 77. Wherein, the hidden door assembly 40 includes a second door panel 42. The second door panel 42 is movably disposed in the housing 10, and the second door panel 42 is connected to the seventh connecting rod 522. The second door panel 42 has a closed position and an escape position. The second door panel 42 and the first door panel 41 are simultaneously located in the closed position or the escape position. This arrangement can drive the second door panel 42 and the first door panel 41 to move to the open position or the escape position through the linkage of each connecting rod. The stability and reliability of the hidden sensor device are improved.

[0059] In order to improve the reliability of the second door panel 42 when sliding, the second connecting rod assembly 52 is further provided with a second support rod 80. The first end of the second support rod 80 is connected to the end of the second end of the tenth connecting rod 525 through the sixteenth connecting shaft 78, and the thirteenth connecting shaft 75 is located between the sixteenth connecting shaft 78 and the twelfth connecting shaft 74. A second slide groove 13 is provided in the housing 10, and the second door panel 42 is slidably provided in the housing 10 through the second slide groove 13.

[0060] In another embodiment of the present application, the hidden door assembly 40 includes a plurality of door panel structures, each of which has a closed position and an escape position, and the plurality of door panel structures are fan-shaped or square structures. There are a plurality of link mechanisms 50, and the plurality of link mechanisms 50 are arranged one-to-one with the plurality of door panel structures. Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, there are four door panel structures, each door panel structure corresponds to a connecting rod mechanism 50, wherein a connecting rod mechanism 50 only includes a first connecting rod assembly 51 or a second connecting rod assembly 52, wherein the structures of the first connecting rod assembly 51 and the second connecting rod assembly 52 can be the same or different.

[0061] In order to make the linkage mechanism slide more smoothly during the linkage process, Figures 3 to 6 As shown, a connecting rod guide groove C is provided on the inner side of the fuselage panel 90 .

[0062] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the mounting base 31 includes a mounting plate, a third slide groove 14 is provided at the bottom of the housing 10, and the mounting plate can be slidably disposed in the third slide groove 14. The driving mechanism 20 includes a motor. A driving gear 21 is provided on the output shaft of the motor, and a transmission rack 22 matched with the driving gear 21 is provided on the mounting plate. This arrangement makes the structure of the hidden sensor device simpler and reliable in operation. The sensor is driven to move back and forth by a motor to control the door structure and the sensor to slide to achieve the telescopic action, which solves the problems of insufficient appearance and high cost of traditional hidden sensors.

[0063] The sensor 32 includes at least one of a temperature sensor, a humidity sensor, and an image sensor. That is, the hidden sensor device can be used to collect temperature and humidity in the detection environment, and can also be used to collect images of organisms with signs of life or objects without signs of life in the detection environment.

[0064] When the sensor 32 is at the detection position, the head surface of the sensor 32 is flush with the outer surface of the housing 10. This can avoid the problem of pits appearing on the outside of the housing when the sensor 32 is at the detection position, and the hidden sensor device with this structure makes the surface of the hidden sensor device smoother.

[0065] Specifically, in the traditional air supply method with a fixed air supply angle, when severely blocked by obstacles, local overcooling and overheating problems will occur, reducing the comfort of the room and causing unnecessary energy waste. The present application can adjust the opening and closing of the upper and lower air outlets according to the obstruction of the obstacles, and can also effectively avoid the obstruction of obstacles by moving the height of the air outlets upward, thereby avoiding or improving local overcooling and overheating and obvious temperature stratification caused by obstacle obstruction, thereby improving human comfort and energy utilization efficiency.

[0066] The transmission rack on the sensor is driven to move back and forth by the rotation of a single motor gear, so that the sensor probe can move along the sliding groove. At the same time, the door panel is driven to slide up and down by the quadrilateral connecting rod structure, so that the hidden door can be opened and closed to hide the sensor. A single motor drives two transmission structures, reducing material and installation costs. At the same time, when the door panel structure is opened or closed, the door panel structure is integrated with the body panel to achieve the purpose of aesthetics.

[0067] The hidden sensor device mainly consists of the mounting box cover, mounting plate, mounting bottom plate, motor gear driven by the motor, and sensor. The electric gear is installed on the mounting box cover. When the motor rotates counterclockwise, it drives the mounting plate with the transmission rack to move rightward, so that the sensor moves rightward along the slide groove on the mounting box cover; when the mounting plate moves rightward, it drives the transmission connecting rod, which drives the door panel structure to move up or down (such as Figure 5As shown, the sensor moves outward in the radial direction from the center point of the detection port. As the sensor moves to the right, the door panel structure gradually opens. When the door panel structure is fully opened, the sensor just moves to the detection port of the fuselage panel. Figure 1 As shown, the sensor probe is then moved to the right to keep it flush with the outside of the fuselage panel, so that the outer surface of the hidden sensor device is beautiful and natural. Figure 4 The figure shows the front view of the sensor in the open state.

[0068] Figure 7 The state of the connecting rod when the sensor is off, taking the first connecting rod assembly as an example, the connecting rod transmission mechanism is composed of 5 connecting rods and 7 connecting shafts. Among them, the first connecting rod 511 refers to the straight rod from the first connecting shaft 61 to the second connecting shaft 62, the second connecting rod 512 refers to the straight rod from the second connecting shaft 62 to the third connecting shaft 63, the third connecting rod 513 refers to the straight rod from the fourth connecting shaft 64 to the fifth connecting shaft 65, the fourth connecting rod 514 refers to the straight rod from the fifth connecting shaft 65 to the sixth connecting shaft 66, and the fifth connecting rod 515 refers to the straight rod from the sixth connecting shaft 66 to the seventh connecting shaft 67.

[0069] Figure 8 It is the state of relative movement of each connecting rod when the door structure changes from a closed state to an open state. The first connecting shaft 61 is driven by the mounting plate to move horizontally to the right. At this time, the third connecting rod 513 rotates clockwise around the first connecting shaft 61, and rotates counterclockwise around the first connecting shaft 61 relative to the first connecting rod 511. The fourth connecting rod 514 rotates counterclockwise around the fifth connecting shaft 65 relative to the third connecting rod 513, and rotates counterclockwise around the sixth connecting shaft 66 relative to the fifth connecting rod 515; the fifth connecting rod 515 rotates clockwise around the seventh connecting shaft 67 relative to the first connecting rod 511. The second connecting rod 512 rotates clockwise around the second connecting shaft 62 relative to the first connecting rod 511, thereby realizing the upper left movement of the second connecting shaft 62, and driving the door panel to move along the door panel slide slot through the second connecting rod 512 and the third connecting shaft 63, thereby realizing the opening of the door panel structure. Fig. 9 This is a schematic diagram of the connecting rod when the sensor is in the open state. The movement mode when switching from the open state to the closed state is exactly the opposite.

[0070] For ease of description, spatially relative terms such as "above", "above", "on the upper surface of", "above", etc. may be used here to describe the spatial positional relationship between a device or feature and other devices or features as shown in the figure. It should be understood that spatially relative terms are intended to include different orientations of the device in use or operation in addition to the orientation described in the figure.
