[0051] The realization of the objective, functional features and advantages of the present invention will be further explained in conjunction with the embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings. Detailed Implementation

[0052] It should be noted that if the embodiments of the present invention involve directional indicators (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.), the directional indicators are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of the components in a certain specific posture (as shown in the figure). If the specific posture changes, the directional indicators will also change accordingly.

[0053] Furthermore, if the embodiments of the present invention involve descriptions such as "first" or "second," these descriptions are for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, a feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of those features. Additionally, the meaning of "and / or" throughout the text is to include three parallel solutions; for example, "A and / or B" includes solution A, solution B, or a solution that simultaneously satisfies A and B.

[0054] This invention proposes a driving device for an air guide assembly for use in an air conditioner, the air conditioner including the air guide assembly.

[0055] In embodiments of the present invention, such as Figures 1 to 9As shown, the drive device 100 of the air guide assembly includes a mounting box 110, fasteners (not shown), a drive component 120, and a transmission component 130. The mounting box 110 includes a first cover 111 and a second cover 112 that are rotatable relative to each other. The first cover 111 has a buckle 10 and a first alignment hole 20, and the second cover 112 has a locking hole 50 and a second alignment hole 60. The buckle 10 extends into the locking hole 50 and engages with the second cover 112. The first alignment hole 20 corresponds to the second alignment hole 60. The fastener (not shown) passes through the first alignment hole 20 and the second alignment hole 60 to connect the first cover 111 and the second cover 112. The drive component 120 and the transmission component 130 are both mounted in the mounting box 110. The drive component 120, the transmission component 130, and the air guide assembly 300 are sequentially connected and driven to move the air guide assembly 300.

[0056] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 11 and Figure 12 The air guide assembly 300 of the air conditioner can be a structure such as an air guide plate, an air guide frame, or a door 310. The drive device 100 of the air guide assembly is connected to the air guide assembly 300, thereby driving the air guide plate or air guide frame to rotate, guiding the airflow to the desired direction, or driving the door 310 to open or close the air outlet 210 of the air conditioner. The drive component 120 can be a power source such as a drive motor capable of driving the transmission component 130. The transmission component 130 can be a structure such as a gear ring, or a connecting rod, rack, etc., as long as it can convert the movement of the drive component 120 into the movement required by the air guide assembly 300; no specific limitation is made here. The drive component 120 is connected to the transmission component 130 to drive the transmission component 130 to move, and the transmission component 130 is connected to the air guide assembly 300 to drive the air guide assembly 300 to move.

[0057] The mounting box 110 can be disc-shaped. The first cover 111 can be an upper or lower cover, and the second cover 112 can be a lower or upper cover. For ease of understanding, the following description will use the first cover 111 as the upper cover and the second cover 112 as the lower cover as an example. It is understood that the first cover 111 and the second cover 112 can rotate relative to each other, thus allowing the first cover 111 and the second cover 112 to be detachable. By separating the first cover 111 from the second cover 112, manual rotation of either the first cover 111 or the second cover 112 can be achieved. Alternatively, the first cover 111 and the second cover 112 can be connected via a shaft hole or similar means to allow relative rotation of the first cover 111 and the second cover 112.

[0058] The latch 10 is disposed on the side of the first cover 111 facing the second cover 112. The latch 10 can be adapted to the latch hole 50, that is, the latch 10 extends into the latch hole 50 and directly engages with the second cover 112. In one embodiment, as... Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, the locking hole 50 can also be slightly larger than the buckle 10, and the buckle 10 can extend out of the locking hole 50. The buckle 10 is L-shaped to form a protruding fastening part 11, and the locking hole 50 and the fastening part 11 are adapted to each other. Thus, when the buckle 10 is inserted into the locking hole 50, the buckle 10 is not connected to the locking hole 50. Then, by rotating the first cover 111, the L-shaped buckle 10 arm blocks and limits the connection. At the same time, the fastening part 11 of the buckle 10 engages with the bottom wall of the second cover 112, thus connecting the buckle 10 to the locking hole 50. The L-shaped buckle 10 not only enables the first cover 111 and the second cover 112 to engage, but also allows the buckle 10 to rotate within the locking hole 50 when inserted, which facilitates the pre-positioning of the buckle 10 and makes the installation and removal of the buckle 10 more convenient and quick.

[0059] Understandably, the first cover 111 has a first rotational position and a second rotational position relative to the second cover 112. In the first rotational position, the latch 10 extends into the latch hole 50. In the second rotational position, the latch 10 is engaged with the second cover 112. Thus, when the first cover 111 is in the first rotational position, the latching part 11 of the latch 10 can extend into the latch hole 50. When the first cover 111 rotates from the first rotational position to the second rotational position, it causes the latching part 11 of the latch 10 to rotate within the latch hole 50, thereby enabling the latching part 11 of the latch 10 to engage with the second cover 112 away from the wall of the first cover 111, thus achieving the connection of the latch 10 between the first cover 111 and the second cover 112. When the latch 10 is engaged, it pre-positions the first cover 111 and the second cover 112. This ensures that the first alignment hole 20 and the second alignment hole 60 are aligned after the latch 10 is in place, eliminating the need for visual or experience-based alignment. During installation, simply insert the latch 10 into the second cover 112, then pass the fastener (not shown) through the first alignment hole 20 and the second alignment hole 60 to secure it, thus installing the first cover 111 and the second cover 112. The fastener (not shown) can be a screw or bolt, etc. The first alignment hole 20 and the second alignment hole 60 can be threaded holes or smooth holes. After alignment, the installation of the fastener (not shown) becomes more convenient and faster. The first cover 111 and the second cover 112 are pre-positioned by the snap fastener 10 and connected by the snap fastener 10 and fastener (not shown). The installation is stable and reliable, convenient and quick, which greatly reduces the assembly difficulty and improves the assembly quality and efficiency.

[0060] Specifically, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 7 and Figure 9The first cover 111 is provided with a screw post 40, and the screw post 40 has a first alignment hole 20. The fastener (not shown) is a screw, which passes through a second alignment hole 60 and is threaded into the first alignment hole 20. The first cover 111 and the second cover 112 are connected by screws, which makes the connection stable and the installation and disassembly more convenient.

[0061] The driving device 100 of the air guide assembly of the present invention drives the air guide assembly 300 to move by mounting the driving component 120 and the transmission component 130 on the mounting box 110, and the driving component 120, the transmission component 130 and the air guide assembly 300 are sequentially connected by transmission to the air guide assembly 300. The mounting box 110 includes a first cover 111 and a second cover 112 that can rotate relative to each other. The first cover 111 is provided with a buckle 10 and a first alignment hole 20, and the second cover 112 is provided with a locking hole 50 and a second alignment hole 60. When the first cover 111 rotates from the first rotation position to the second rotation position, the buckle 10's fastening part 11 engages with the second cover 112 away from the wall surface of the first cover 111, and the first alignment hole 20 is set to correspond to the second alignment hole 60. Then, fasteners (not shown) pass through the first alignment hole 20 and the second alignment hole 60 to connect the first cover 111 and the second cover 112. Thus, by rotating the first cover 111 relative to the second cover 112, the latch 10 can be engaged, and the latch 10 can also be pre-positioned, aligning the first alignment hole 20 and the second alignment hole 60, facilitating the connection of the fastener (not shown) between the first cover 111 and the second cover 112. This makes the installation and alignment of the first cover 111 and the second cover 112 more convenient and faster. Compared to assembly methods that use multiple screws and lack pre-positioning, this significantly reduces assembly difficulty and improves assembly quality and production efficiency.

[0062] In one embodiment, please refer again Figure 1 , Figure 5 , Figures 7 to 9 One of the second cover 112 and the first cover 111 is provided with a support column 70, and the other is provided with a positioning groove 30 for the support column 70 to be rotatably installed.

[0063] In this embodiment, if the support column 70 is disposed on the first cover 111 / second cover 112, the support column 70 should protrude from the end face of the first cover 111 / second cover 112 or be flush with the end face of the first cover 111 / second cover 112. In this way, the support column 70 can prevent the first cover 111 and second cover 112 from collapsing due to their hollowness. Furthermore, by providing the positioning groove 30 of the support column 70, it can also serve a positioning function and allow the first cover 111 / second cover 112 to rotate around the support column 70, thereby switching between the first rotation position and the second rotation position. Further, to make the rotation of the first cover 111 relative to the second cover 112 more stable, the positioning groove 30 is disposed on the first cover 111, and the support column 70 is disposed on the second cover 112. Thus, when the first cover 111 rotates, it rotates around the support column 70 as the center, resulting in more stable and smooth rotation.

[0064] Specifically, such as Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, there are at least two latches 10, and multiple latches 10 are arranged at intervals along the rotation direction of the first cover 111. The positioning groove 30 is set corresponding to the rotation center of the first cover 111. When the first cover 111 rotates from the first rotation position to the second rotation position, both latches 10 can engage the second cover 112 away from the wall surface of the first cover 111. In this way, the connection between the first cover 111 and the second cover 112 is more secure. And when both latches 10 are engaged, the first alignment hole 20 and the second alignment hole 60 can correspond. By setting the positioning groove 30 to correspond to the rotation center of the first cover 111, during installation, the support column 70 is pre-assembled in the positioning groove 30, and then rotated around the support, so that multiple buckles 10 are snapped into the buckles 10 along the rotation direction of the first cover 111 and fitted against the wall of the second cover 112. Then, fasteners (not shown) are passed through the first alignment hole 20 and the second alignment hole 60 to connect the first cover 111 and the second cover 112, thus completing the installation of the entire mounting box 110.

[0065] To ensure that when the first cover 111 rotates from the first rotation position to the second rotation position, all the latches 10 can engage the second cover 112, each latch 10 can have a fastening portion 11. This fastening portion 11 engages the second cover 112 against the wall of the first cover 111, and the fastening portions 11 of all the latches 10 face the same direction. This means that the fastening portions 11 of all the latches 10 face the rotation direction of the first cover 111. Thus, when the first cover 111 is rotated, all the latches 10 can simultaneously engage the second cover 112, making the overall assembly more convenient and faster.

[0066] In a preferred embodiment, please refer to Figures 1 to 7The buckle 10 has a fastening portion 11 and an abutting portion 12. The fastening portion 11 fastens the second cover 112 away from the wall surface of the first cover 111, and the abutting portion 12 abuts against the wall surface of the second cover 112 facing the first cover 111. By having the fastening portion 11 and the abutting portion 12, when the buckle 10 is in the fastened state, the abutting portion 12 and the fastening portion 11 of the buckle 10 can respectively abut against the upper and lower walls of the second cover 112. Thus, the buckle 10 clamps the second cover 112, making the connection between the buckle 10 and the second cover 112 more secure. It is understood that the distance between the end face of the abutting portion 12 and the end face of the fastening portion 11 should be equal to or slightly greater than the wall thickness near the locking hole 50 of the second cover 112.

[0067] To facilitate the installation and removal of the snap fastener 10, the installation gap between the engaging part 11 and the wall surface of the second cover 112 facing away from the first cover 111 is greater than or equal to 0 and less than or equal to 1. Similarly, the installation gap between the abutting part 12 and the wall surface of the second cover 112 facing the first cover 111 is greater than or equal to 0 and less than or equal to 1. This satisfies the snap-fit ​​connection requirements between the snap fastener 10 and the second cover 112 while facilitating their separation and connection, thus improving assembly stability.

[0068] Specifically, such as Figure 7 As shown, the buckle 10 also has a connecting arm 13 connecting to the first cover 111 and a reinforcing rib 14 provided on the side wall of the connecting arm 13. A fastening portion 11 protrudes from the free end of the connecting arm 13, and abutment portions 12 protrude from both sides of the connecting arm 13. When the buckle 10 is inserted into the latching hole 50, the abutment portions 12 on both sides of the connecting arm 13 abut against the wall surface of the second cover 112 facing the first cover 111, while the fastening portions 11 extend out of the latching hole 50 and abut against the wall surface of the second cover 112 away from the first cover 111. Thus, the abutment portions 12 and the fastening portions 11 achieve a tight connection between the buckle 10 and the second cover 112. Understandably, since the fastening part 11 is located at one end of the connecting arm 13, when the fastening part 11 extends out of the locking hole 50, there is still a certain space between the connecting arm 13 and the wall of the locking hole 50. At this time, by rotating the first cover 111, the locking hole 50 is rotated together, thereby causing the connecting arm 13 to abut against the inner wall of the locking hole 50 to achieve a limiting position. At the same time, the abutting part 12 and the fastening part 11 abut against the opposite side walls of the fastening second cover 112. When extending, rotating the first cover 111 in the opposite direction can disengage the buckle 10 from the locking hole 50, making connection and disengagement convenient and quick. By providing reinforcing ribs 14 on the side wall of the connecting arm 13, the structural strength of the connecting arm 13 can be increased, preventing the buckle 10 from breaking or being damaged due to external force or uneven force.

[0069] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 1 to 3The transmission component 130 of the drive device 100 includes a wheel ring 131 and a gear set 132. The wheel ring 131 is rotatably mounted on the mounting box 110. The inner ring of the wheel ring 131 is provided with circumferential gear teeth 131a that mesh with the gear set 132. The buckle 10 and the first alignment hole 20 are provided corresponding to the hollow part of the wheel ring 131.

[0070] It is understandable that the ring 131 can be in the form of a circular ring, an elliptical ring, a square ring, etc. To facilitate meshing with the gear, the inner ring of the ring 131 is circular and has circumferential teeth 131a. The switch door 310 is connected to one side of the ring 131. Since the ring 131 is a complete closed structure, the other side of the ring 131 corresponding to the switch door 310 can provide support, preventing the ring 131 from overturning due to the pressure of the switch door 310. The ring 131 can be connected to the upper end, lower end, or middle of the switch door 310. The drive component 120, the gear set 132, and the circumferential teeth 131a are sequentially connected to drive the switch door 310 to rotate and open or close the air outlet 210, or to drive the air guide frame or air guide plate to rotate. The drive component 120 can specifically be a power source such as a drive motor that can drive the gear set 132 to rotate. The drive component 120 is connected to the gear set 132 to drive the gear set 132 to rotate. The gear set 132 meshes with the circumferential teeth 131a of the ring 131 to drive the ring 131 to rotate, thereby driving the door 310 to rotate and open or close the air outlet 210. The ring 131 is located between the first cover 111 and the second cover 112. The drive component 120 can be installed below the base, so that the drive shaft extends into the base and is fixedly connected to the gear set 132. The gear set 132 may include one gear or multiple meshing gears. The specific number of gears can be selected and designed according to the position of the drive component 120 and the required reduction ratio, and is not limited here. The air guide assembly 300 is driven by the ring 131, gear set 132 and other drive structures. Its structure is simple, easy to implement, and stable and reliable. At the same time, the buckle 10 and the first alignment hole 20 are set in the hollow position of the ring 131, making the overall structure more compact and the structural distribution more reasonable.

[0071] This invention also proposes a floor-standing air conditioner indoor unit, such as... Figures 10 to 12As shown, the floor-standing air conditioner indoor unit includes a housing 200, an air guide assembly 300, and a drive device 100 for the air guide assembly. The specific structure of the drive device 100 is as described in the above embodiment. The housing 200 has an air outlet 210; the air guide assembly 300 is installed at the air outlet 210 and includes a door 310 that can open or close the air outlet 210 and an air guide component 320 that guides the airflow from the air outlet 210; the transmission component 130 of the drive device 100 is connected to the door 310 and / or the air guide component 320 to drive the door 310 and / or the air guide component 320 to move. Since this floor-standing air conditioner indoor unit adopts all the technical solutions of all the above embodiments, it possesses at least all the beneficial effects brought about by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be elaborated further here.

[0072] The air guide assembly 300 can be a structure such as an air guide plate, an air guide frame, or a switch door 310. The drive device 100 of the air guide assembly is connected to the air guide assembly 300, thereby driving the air guide plate or air guide frame to rotate, guiding the airflow to the desired direction, or driving the switch door 310 to open or close the air outlet 210 of the air conditioner. The floor-standing air conditioner indoor unit can be cylindrical in shape. The housing 200 and the air outlet 210 extend vertically. The air outlet 210 is approximately arc-shaped, and the switch door 310 is an arc-shaped plate adapted to the air outlet 210. By opening the switch door 310, the air outlet 210 is exposed, thereby performing the air conditioning function. In one embodiment, the housing 200 has an air duct communicating with the air outlet 210, and when the air outlet 210 is opened, the switch door 310 is located within the air duct. When the switch door 310 is open, it is positioned within the air duct. This means the switch door 310 always moves within the air duct to rotate and open or close. Compared to the switch door 310 moving outside the air duct, i.e., rotating outside the housing 200, this results in a smaller travel distance and a smaller turning radius. Furthermore, the switch door 310 is concealed within the air duct after opening, preventing it from being exposed and maintaining a consistent overall appearance.

[0073] The present invention also proposes an air conditioner, which includes an outdoor unit and a floor-standing indoor unit connected by a refrigerant pipe. The specific structure of the floor-standing indoor unit is as described in the above embodiments. Since the present air conditioner adopts all the technical solutions of all the above embodiments, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought about by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be described in detail here.

[0074] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention. Any equivalent structural transformations made using the contents of the present invention's specification and drawings under the inventive concept of the present invention, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present invention.
