[0049] The following describes embodiments of the present invention in detail, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to be used to explain the present invention, and are not to be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0050] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the terms "center", "longitudinal", "lateral", "length", "width", "thickness", "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside", "clockwise", "counterclockwise" and the like to indicate orientations or positional relationships based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0051] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of the technical features being referred to. Thus, a feature specified as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of the present invention, "plurality" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise specifically defined.

[0052] In the present invention, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, terms such as "mounted," "connected," "connect," and "fixed" should be understood broadly. For example, they may refer to fixed or detachable connections, or integration; mechanical or electrical connections, or communication; direct or indirect connections through an intermediate medium; and internal communication between two components or interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention based on specific circumstances.

[0053] In the present invention, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, a first feature being "above" or "below" a second feature may include the first and second features being in direct contact, or may include the first and second features being in contact not directly but through another feature between them. Furthermore, a first feature being "above," "above," and "above" a second feature may include the first feature being directly above or obliquely above the second feature, or may simply mean that the first feature is higher in level than the second feature. A first feature being "below," "below," and "below" a second feature may include the first feature being directly below or obliquely below the second feature, or may simply mean that the first feature is lower in level than the second feature.

[0054] Conventional cabinet air conditioners, when cooling, produce condensed water that slides down the air guide plates onto the floor, causing condensation and other issues. This is especially true when air guide plates are used to direct airflow to the left and right. Condensation drips directly onto the floor, creating a poor user experience.

[0055] Hereinafter, an air conditioner 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0056] like Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the air conditioner 1 includes an air conditioner body 30, an air deflector 20, a panel drive device, and a water collection box 111. The air conditioner body 30 has an air outlet 31a extending vertically. The air deflector 20 is located at the air outlet 31a and extends vertically. The panel drive device is connected to the air deflector 20 to drive the air deflector 20 to move. The water collection box 111 is located below the air deflector 20 to receive the lower end of condensed water dripping from the air deflector 20. Therefore, if condensed water formed on the air deflector 20 drips during operation, it can be collected by the water collection box 111, thereby preventing the condensed water from dripping onto the ground and optimizing the quality of the air conditioner 1.

[0057] In some embodiments, when the air conditioner 1 is turned off, the air deflector 20 serves as the exterior panel of the air conditioner 1, and the side of the air deflector 20 facing the air outlet 31a includes an air guide surface. Thus, the air deflector 20 serves as an exterior panel, eliminating the need for a door and simplifying the overall structure. Furthermore, condensation is more likely to form on the air deflector 20, and the air deflector 20 is more likely to move outside the air conditioner body 30, causing the condensation to drip onto the ground. Therefore, providing a water collection box 111 can better address this technical issue.

[0058] When the air guide plate 20 is the exterior panel of the air conditioner 1, two air guide plates 20 may be arranged in the left-right direction. This allows for a variety of airflow effects, such as the left-hand airflow state, the right-hand airflow state, the left-right and right-side airflow state, and one of the three airflow states described below. This allows for different user requirements.

[0059] In some embodiments, the water box 111 moves synchronously with the air deflector 20. Because the water box 111 and the air deflector 20 move synchronously, the size of the water box 111 can be miniaturized. For example, it can be made to match the cross-sectional shape of the air deflector 20, or only to accommodate the shape of a portion prone to dripping, thereby reducing the space occupied by the water box 111 and the cost. Of course, it is understood that if the water box 111 is larger, the air deflector 20 can always be located above the water box 111 during the entire movement of the air deflector 20. This is also possible, and we will not elaborate on this here.

[0060] When the water box 111 and the air deflector 20 are designed to move synchronously, in some embodiments, the water box 111 and the air deflector 20 can be integrally formed. This eliminates the need to assemble the water box 111 and the air deflector 20, simplifying the assembly process and improving production efficiency. Furthermore, the water box 111 can effectively move synchronously with the air deflector 20 to reliably collect dripping condensed water. The term "integrated" should be broadly interpreted to mean either integrally formed or by integrating the water box 111 and the air deflector 20 into a single piece through processes such as welding, fusion, or secondary injection molding.

[0061] When the water box 111 and the air deflector 20 are designed to move synchronously. In some embodiments, the water box 111 and the air deflector 20 can be assembled and connected. That is, the water box 111 and the air deflector 20 are two separate components, and through subsequent assembly processes, they are assembled and connected. For example, they can be detachable, such as screw connection, snap connection, etc., or they can be non-detachable, such as riveting, etc. This can simplify the difficulty of separately processing the water box 111 and the air deflector 20, so that the material selection of the two is not mutually restricted, and the production flexibility is strong. Moreover, when the two are detachably connected, the water box 111 can be removed as needed to perform operations such as pouring water, replacing, and cleaning, which is convenient for use.

[0062] When the water receiving box 111 and the air deflector 20 can be assembled and connected. In some embodiments, the panel drive device includes a lower drive component 10, which is located below the air deflector 20, and the water receiving box 111 is integrated into the lower drive component 10. In other words, the water receiving box 111 is part of the lower drive component 10. Therefore, there is no need to provide a separate water receiving box 111. The lower drive component 10, which is already required in this embodiment, can be utilized to add water collection functions to form the water receiving box 111. This can further simplify the overall structure, reduce costs, improve structural compactness, and simplify the assembly process.

[0063] It should be noted that, in addition to the lower drive component 10, the panel drive device may also include an upper drive component disposed above the air deflector 20. Thus, by jointly driving the lower and upper drive components, the motion stability of the air deflector 20 can be improved. Furthermore, the present invention is not limited to this. If the water collection box 111 is not required to be integrated into the panel drive device, the panel drive device may also not include the lower drive component 10. For example, it is also possible to dispose only a plurality of drive components in the middle portion of the air deflector 20. This is not further described here.

[0064] Of course, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the water receiving box 111 and the air guide plate 20 may not be an integral part, or may not have an assembly connection relationship. For example, in some embodiments, Figure 13As shown, the water receiving box 111 is not connected to the air guide plate 20. In this case, the air conditioner 1 may further include a water receiving drive device 50 connected to the water receiving box 111 to drive the water receiving box 111 to move. In this way, the water receiving drive device 50 can independently drive the water receiving box 111 to move, eliminating the need to modify the original air guide plate 20 and the original panel drive device. Only the water receiving drive device 50 and the water receiving box 111 need to be added to the original extrusion, thereby reducing costs.

[0065] It should be noted that the water receiving box 111 and the air guide plate 20 may or may not move synchronously, and can be controlled according to the specific software design, as long as the water receiving box 111 can be located below the air guide plate 20 to receive water when it is needed to use the water receiving box 111.

[0066] When the water receiving box 111 is driven by the water receiving drive 50, in some optional embodiments, the water receiving box 111 is always located below the air deflector 20, thereby improving the reliability of preventing condensed water from dripping onto the ground. For example, the water receiving box 111 can be always located below the air deflector 20 through the control design of the water receiving drive 50, as well as the position limiting design and size design of the water receiving box 111, etc., which are not limited here.

[0067] Of course, the present invention is not limited to this. The water receiving box 111 can also be set to, when the water receiving box 111 is not needed to receive water, drive the water receiving box 111 to a position not below the wind guide plate 20. For example, the water receiving box 111 can be driven to a drainage position, etc., to facilitate drainage, so that the drainage position can be flexibly designed.

[0068] In some embodiments of the present invention, regardless of the connection between the water receiving box 111 and the air deflector 20 (e.g., whether integral, assembled, or unconnected), a through-hole 111b can be formed on the bottom wall of the water receiving box 111. Thus, the water receiving box 111 can have a drainage function, eliminating the need to remove the water receiving box 111 to drain water, thereby facilitating use.

[0069] Optionally, the drainage hole 111b is provided on a side of the water receiving box 111 near the inside of the air outlet 31a. This facilitates draining water into the interior of the air conditioner 1, thereby eliminating the appearance of the air conditioner 1 without a drainage structure. Optionally, a diversion slope 111c is formed on the inner bottom wall of the water receiving box 111, and the drainage hole 111b is located at the lower part of the diversion slope 111c. The diversion slope 111c is a plane, a curved surface, a combination of a plane and a plane, or a combination of a plane and a curved surface. This facilitates rapid drainage and allows for flexible processing and design. Optionally, the diversion slope 111c is a plane and has an angle of 0°-45° with the horizontal plane. This facilitates rapid drainage and, while meeting the water holding capacity, the height of the water receiving box 111 can be appropriately lowered to ensure a compact structure.

[0070] In some embodiments, the air conditioner body 30 includes an air outlet frame 31, with an air outlet 31a formed on the air outlet frame 31. The air outlet frame 31 includes a water receiving portion 311 located below the air outlet 31a and the water receiving box 111. The water receiving portion 311 has a water receiving cavity 311a with an open top, and the drain hole 111b is always located above the water receiving cavity 311a. Thus, by providing the water receiving portion 311 on the air outlet frame 31, the water in the water receiving box 111 can be easily drained, eliminating the need for the user to actively remove the water receiving box 111 to pour water, thereby facilitating user operation. Optionally, the water receiving portion 311 can be located within the air outlet frame 31, so that the air conditioner 1 does not appear to have a drainage structure.

[0071] Reference below Figures 1-12 A lower driving component for an air conditioner according to a specific embodiment of the present invention is described.

[0072] like Figures 1-12 As shown, the air conditioner 1 has an air outlet 31a and an air deflector 20 disposed at the air outlet 31a. The air outlet 31a extends vertically, and the air deflector 20 blocks the air outlet 31a. The air deflector 20 extends vertically. When the air conditioner 1 is delivering air from the air outlet 31a, the air deflector 20 opens to allow the air conditioner 1 to complete the air delivery operation; when the air conditioner 1 is turned off, the air deflector 20 closes to block the air outlet 31a. The number of air deflectors 20 can be one or more. When there are multiple air deflectors 20, multiple panels can be arranged in sequence horizontally or vertically at the air outlet 31a. When there is only one air deflector 20, the air deflector 20 is adapted to the size of the air outlet 31a and can be used to block the air outlet 31a. The air deflector 20 is connected to the lower drive component 10, which can be disposed below the air deflector 20. The lower driving component 10 can drive the air guide plate 20 to move to adjust the position of the air guide plate 20 in the air conditioner 1 to meet the operating requirements of the air conditioner 1 under different working conditions.

[0073] The lower drive unit 10 according to the present invention includes a carrier assembly 11 and a first drive mechanism 12. The carrier assembly 11 is connected to the air deflector 20 and can move synchronously with the air deflector 20 or independently relative to the air deflector 20. The first drive mechanism 12 is connected to the carrier assembly 11 and can drive the carrier assembly 11 to move the air deflector 20 relative to the air outlet 31a, thereby adjusting the distance between the air deflector 20 and the air outlet 31a and changing the air flow state of the air outlet 31a of the air conditioner 1.

[0074] The carrier assembly 11 includes a water receiving box 111 having a water receiving groove 111a formed therein. The top of the water receiving groove 111a is open and located directly below at least a portion of the air deflector 20. The water receiving groove 111a is used to receive condensed water dripping from the air deflector 20. During operation of the air conditioner 1, airflow passing through the air deflector 20 reduces the temperature of the air deflector 20, allowing indoor air to condense on the air deflector 20, resulting in condensation forming on the outer surface of the air deflector 20.

[0075] The water receiving groove 111a of the supporting component 11 is set below the wind guide plate 20, and the supporting component 11 and the wind guide plate 20 are driven by the first driving mechanism 12 to move together. Since the wind guide plate 20 needs to move continuously, the supporting component 11 and the wind guide plate 20 move together relative to the air outlet 31a to always keep the wind guide plate 20 and the water receiving groove 111a facing each other, so that the condensation pipe water on the wind guide plate 20 can drip into the water receiving groove 111a to avoid condensation water dripping on the ground, thereby optimizing the user experience of the air conditioner 1.

[0076] According to the lower driving component 10 of the above-mentioned embodiment of the present invention, a water collecting groove 111a is provided on the water collecting box 111 and is always kept directly below the air guide plate 20. When the air guide plate 20 moves, the condensed water condensed on the air guide plate 20 is received and collected, so that the condensed water does not drip directly onto the floor and damage the floor. The lower driving component 10 of the present application has good reliability, effectively collects condensed water, and improves the user experience of the air conditioner 1.

[0077] In the lower drive component 10 of the present invention, the first drive mechanism 12 is connected to the carrier assembly 11 and the air deflector 20, respectively, to move the carrier assembly 11 and the air deflector 20 together relative to the air outlet 31a. To collect condensed water generated on the air deflector 20, a water collection box 111 is provided on the carrier assembly 11. The water collection box 111 is formed with a water collection groove 111a, which can move synchronously with the air deflector 20 to effectively collect condensed water on the surface of the air deflector 20, preventing the condensed water from dripping directly onto the floor and damaging it. The solution of the present invention is low-cost, highly efficient, and highly reliable, improving the user experience.

[0078] In some embodiments of the present invention, a drainage hole 111b is formed on the bottom wall of the water receiving trough 111a on the water receiving box 111. The drainage hole 111b penetrates the bottom wall of the water receiving trough 111a. The water receiving trough 111a on the water receiving box 111 needs to drain the collected condensed water in a timely manner. Providing the drainage hole 111b on the bottom wall of the water receiving trough 111a can make the drainage of the condensed water more convenient. For example, a drainage pipe can be provided at the bottom of the water receiving box 111, and the drainage pipe is connected to the drainage hole 111b, so that the condensed water can be discharged from the water receiving trough 111a to a predetermined drainage area. According to the above arrangement, the drainage of the water flow in the water receiving trough 111a is simple and convenient, the structure of the water receiving box 111 is simple, and the condensed water on the air guide plate 20 can be efficiently collected.

[0079] In some embodiments of the present invention, a drainage hole 111b extending through the water receiving groove 111a is disposed on a side of the water receiving groove 111a near the interior of the air outlet 31a. The water receiving groove 111a may extend horizontally, and the outer periphery of the water receiving groove 111a may be disposed adjacent to the outer periphery of the air guide plate 20, while the inner periphery of the water receiving groove 111a may be disposed adjacent to a side of the air outlet 31a. Disposing the drainage hole 111b on the side near the interior of the air outlet 31a facilitates the installation of a drainage pipe, which may be concealed within the housing. Furthermore, the water outlet of the water receiving groove 111a may be disposed adjacent to the water receiving area, making the overall structural layout of the air conditioner 1 more reasonable and compact.

[0080] In some embodiments of the present invention, a guide slope 111c is formed on the bottom wall of the water receiving trough 111a. The setting of the guide slope 111c can guide the condensed water so that the condensed water is guided to the drainage hole 111b under the action of natural gravity, thereby more efficiently collecting the condensed water in the water receiving trough 111a. The drainage hole 111b is set at the lower part of the guide slope 111c. The condensed water on the air guide plate 20 is generally condensed on the outer surface of the air guide plate 20, and the part of the water receiving trough 111a that is opposite to the outer surface of the air guide plate 20 is one side of the outer periphery of the water receiving trough 111a. The condensed water flows from the high point of the guide slope 111c to the low point on the inner side of the guide slope 111c, so that the condensed water collected in the water receiving trough 111a is guided to the drainage hole 111b under the action of gravity.

[0081] In some embodiments of the present invention, the diversion slope 111c can be a plane, a curved surface, a combination of two planes, or a combination of two planes. The curved surface can be a wavy surface or an arcuate surface, and the assembly of two planes can be constructed by connecting two planes extending in different directions, with the cross-section of the combination of two planes being a broken line. Furthermore, when the diversion slope 111c is any of the above planes, the inclination trend of the diversion slope 111c still maintains a trend of being higher on the outside and lower on the inside.

[0082] In some embodiments of the present invention, the diversion slope 111c is constructed as a plane, and the angle between the diversion slope 111c and the horizontal plane is 0°-45°. The condensed water in the water receiving trough 111a is diverted by the diversion slope 111c to the drainage hole 111b. The inclination angle of the diversion slope 111c is set within the above range. The condensed water in the water receiving trough 111a can flow under the action of its own gravity, so that the condensed water can be more efficiently collected, and the condensed water is discharged through the drainage hole 111b.

[0083] In some embodiments of the present invention, the bearing assembly 11 is provided with a first water retaining rib, which is intercepted between the water receiving trough 111a and the first drive mechanism 12. The first water retaining rib can prevent condensed water from flowing toward the first drive mechanism 12, prevent condensed water from crossing the bearing assembly, prevent condensed water from contacting the first drive mechanism 12, and prevent the first drive mechanism 12 from causing losses such as short circuits due to contact with cooling water. Optionally, a water retaining cover can also be provided to shield the first drive mechanism 12. The water retaining cover shields the first drive mechanism 12. When condensed water overflows the water receiving trough 111a, the condensed water is prevented from directly entering the first drive mechanism 12. The water retaining cover diverts the condensed water to other locations. Even if the condensed water overflows, it will not flow toward the first drive mechanism 12, ensuring that the first drive mechanism 12 does not cause losses such as short circuits due to contact with cooling water.

[0084] In some embodiments of the present invention, the first drive mechanism 12 is used to drive the support assembly 11 and the air deflector 20 to move inward and outward directions relative to the air outlet 31a. The first drive mechanism 12 can drive the support assembly 11 and the air deflector 20 to move relative to the air outlet 31a to adjust the distance between the air deflector 20 and the air outlet 31a, thereby driving the air deflector 20 to open or close the air outlet 31a, or to adjust the airflow direction of the air outlet 31a.

[0085] The bearing assembly 11 is connected to the air guide plate 20. The first driving mechanism 12 drives the bearing assembly 11 to move while driving the air guide plate 20 to move, so that the air guide plate 20 can choose to open or cover the air outlet 31a. The first driving mechanism 12 can adjust the position of the bearing assembly 11 and the air guide plate 20 relative to the air outlet 31a. During the driving process of the first driving mechanism 12, the bearing assembly 11 and the air guide plate 20 move synchronously and move relative to the air conditioner 1.

[0086] Under the driving action of the first driving mechanism 12, the supporting component 11 and the air guide plate 20 can be pushed out or retracted along the inward and outward directions of the air outlet 31a. After the supporting component 11 and the air guide plate 20 are pushed out to the outside of the air outlet 31a, a gap is formed between the outer edge of the air guide plate 20 and the air outlet 31a. At this time, the air-conditioning air can be blown out from the gap between the outer edge of the air guide plate 20 and the air outlet 31a, and the first driving mechanism 12 can select the movement diagram of the supporting component 11 to adjust the size of the gap and change the air volume.

[0087] In some embodiments of the present invention, the first driving mechanism 12 includes a first rack 121 and a first gear 122. Through the cooperation between the first gear 122 and the first rack 121, the first rack 121 is a linear rack, and the first rack 121 has meshing teeth on both sides of its width. The first gear 122 is arranged on the supporting assembly 11. There are two first gears 122, and the two first gears 122 are respectively arranged on both sides of the width of the first rack 121 to engage with the meshing teeth on the corresponding sides for transmission.

[0088] The prime mover can drive the first gear 122, and the two first gears 122 rotate synchronously to drive the first rack 121 to move in its extension direction. The first rack 121 can be connected to the carrier assembly 11, and the extension direction of the first rack 121 is the inward and outward direction of the air outlet 31a. The driving method of the two first gears 122 and the first rack 121 can improve the stability of the first driving mechanism 12 during the movement of the carrier assembly 11. It can be understood that under the action of the first driving mechanism 12, the carrier assembly 11 and the air deflector 20 will move relative to the air conditioner 1 along the extension direction of the first rack 121. Because the first rack 121 is constructed as a linear rack, the carrier assembly 11 and the air deflector 20 will move in a linear direction relative to the air conditioner 1. Meshing teeth are provided on either side of the linear rack, meshing with two first gears 122. The meshing of the two first gears 122 with the first rack 121 prevents the support assembly 11 and the air deflector 20 from shaking relative to the air conditioner 1, thereby improving the stability of the movement of the support assembly 11 and the air deflector 20 on the air conditioner 1. This gear-rack arrangement offers high reliability and stable driving force transmission, ensuring the stability of the components during movement.

[0089] In some embodiments of the present invention, the carrier assembly 11 further includes a mounting plate 113 and a second drive mechanism 114 disposed on the mounting plate 113. The mounting plate 113 is connected to the first drive mechanism 12, and the water receiving box 111 is connected to the second drive mechanism 114. The first drive mechanism 12 drives the mounting plate 113 to move the second drive mechanism 114 together. The second drive mechanism 114 drives the water receiving box 111 to move the air deflector 20 relative to the mounting plate 113 in a direction transverse to the air outlet 31a, thereby adjusting the position of the air deflector 20 in a direction transverse to the air outlet 31a.

[0090] Furthermore, the first drive mechanism 12 can drive the supporting assembly 11 and the air deflector 20 to move inward and outward relative to the air outlet 31a to adjust the distance between the air deflector 20 and the air outlet 31a. Since the supporting assembly 11 and the air deflector 20 are connected to the air conditioner 1 via the first drive mechanism 12, adjusting the position of the supporting assembly 11 and the air deflector 20 by the first drive mechanism 12 can adjust the position of the supporting assembly 11 and the air deflector 20 relative to the air outlet 31a, thereby selectively opening or closing the air outlet 31a. The second drive mechanism 114 drives the water receiving box 111 to move the air deflector 20 relative to the mounting plate 113 along the width of the air outlet 31a, thereby adjusting the position of the supporting assembly 11 and the air deflector 20 in the lateral direction of the air outlet 31a. Under the driving action of the first driving mechanism 12, the supporting assembly 11 and the air guide plate 20 can be pushed forward vertically. After being pushed out, the supporting assembly 11 and the air guide plate 20 move together along the inward and outward directions of the air outlet 31a to open the air outlet 31a. After being pushed out, the supporting assembly 11 and the air guide plate 20 can move along the width direction of the air outlet 31a under the action of the second driving mechanism 114. At this time, the air-conditioning air can be blown out from the gap of the air guide plate 20, and the air outlet direction can be adjusted using the second driving mechanism 114.

[0091] In the above embodiment, the water receiving box 111 moves along with the air guide plate 20 under the drive of the second driving mechanism 114 , and the water receiving box 111 always remains at the lower side of the air guide plate 20 , thereby preventing condensed water from leaking.

[0092] In other embodiments of the present invention, the carrier assembly 11 further includes a mounting plate 113 and a second drive mechanism 114 disposed on the mounting plate 113. The mounting plate 113 is connected to the first drive mechanism 12, the water receiving box 111 is disposed on the mounting plate 113, and the second drive mechanism 114 is connected to the air deflector 20. The first drive mechanism 12 drives the mounting plate 113 to move the second drive mechanism 114 together, and the second drive mechanism 114 drives the air deflector 20 to move laterally relative to the mounting plate 113 along the air outlet 31a.

[0093] Furthermore, the first drive mechanism 12 can drive the supporting assembly 11 and the air deflector 20 to move together relative to the air outlet 31a to adjust the distance between the air deflector 20 and the air outlet 31a. The first drive mechanism 12 also drives the mounting plate 113, causing the water collection box 111 on the mounting plate 113 to move synchronously with the air deflector 20 in the inward and outward directions of the air outlet 31a, so that at least a portion of the water collection box 111 always remains directly below the air deflector. Because the supporting assembly 11 and the air deflector 20 are connected to the air conditioner 1 via the first drive mechanism 12, adjusting the position of the supporting assembly 11 and the air deflector 20 via the first drive mechanism 12 can achieve adjustment of the position of the supporting assembly 11 and the air deflector 20 relative to the air outlet 31a. The first driving mechanism 12 drives the mounting plate 113 to move, the mounting plate 113 drives the second driving mechanism 114 to move, and the second driving mechanism 114 drives the air guide plate 20 to move relative to the mounting plate 113 in the direction of the air outlet 31a, thereby adjusting the position of the supporting assembly 11 and the air guide plate 20 in the horizontal direction at the air outlet 31a.

[0094] Driven by the first drive mechanism 12, the carrier assembly 11 and the air guide plate 20 can be pushed inward and outward from the air outlet 31a. After being pushed out, the air guide plate 20 is spaced apart from the air outlet 31a to open the air outlet 31a. The air guide plate 20 can be moved toward both sides of the air outlet 31a by the second drive mechanism 114 to open the air outlet 31a. At this time, conditioned air can be blown out from the gap in the air guide plate 20. The second drive mechanism 114 can be used to adjust the air outlet direction of the air outlet 31a. The air conditioner 1 according to the present invention is briefly described below.

[0095] The following describes an air conditioner 1 according to a specific embodiment. The air conditioner 1 according to this embodiment of the present invention includes: an air conditioner body 30, an air guide plate 20, and a drive component. The air conditioner body 30 has a vertically extending air outlet 31a; the air guide plate 20 blocks the air outlet 31a. The air guide plate 20 extends vertically and, when the air conditioner 1 delivers air from the air outlet 31a, opens to allow the air conditioner 1 to deliver air; and a lower drive component 10 is disposed below the air guide plate 20 to drive the air guide plate 20 relative to the air outlet 31a. The lower drive component 10 is configured as the lower drive component 10 described in any of the above embodiments.

[0096] The lower drive component 10 includes a bearing assembly 11 and a first drive mechanism 12. The air deflector 20 is connected to the lower drive component 10 and can be disposed below the air deflector 20. The lower drive component 10 can drive the air deflector 20 to adjust its position within the air conditioner 1 to meet the operating requirements of the air conditioner 1 under different operating conditions.

[0097] The carrier assembly 11 includes a water receiving box 111, a mounting plate 113, a second drive mechanism 114 disposed on the mounting plate 113, and a first water retaining rib. A water receiving trough 111a is formed on the water receiving box 111. The top of the water receiving trough 111a is open and located directly below at least a portion of the air deflector 20. The water receiving trough 111a is used to receive condensed water dripping from the air deflector 20. The water receiving trough 111a of the supporting assembly 11 is arranged below the wind guide plate 20, and the supporting assembly 11 and the wind guide plate 20 are driven by the first driving mechanism 12 to move together. The mounting plate 113 is connected to the first driving mechanism 12, and the water receiving box 111 is connected to the second driving mechanism 114. The first driving mechanism 12 drives the mounting plate 113 to drive the second driving mechanism 114 to move together. The second driving mechanism 114 drives the water receiving box 111 to drive the wind guide plate 20 to move laterally relative to the mounting plate 113 along the air outlet 31a to adjust the lateral position of the wind guide plate 20 at the air outlet 31a.

[0098] A through-hole 111b is formed on the bottom wall of the water receiving trough 111a. Drain hole 111b is located on one side of the water receiving trough 111a near the interior of the air outlet 31a. Drain hole 111b is connected to the preset water receiving chamber 311a, and condensed water collected in the water receiving trough 111a is discharged through drain hole 111b. Drain hole 111b is located on one side of the water receiving trough 111a near the interior of the air outlet 31a. A diversion slope 111c is also formed on the bottom wall of the water receiving trough 111a. Drain hole 111b is located at the bottom of the diversion slope 111c. The diversion slope 111c is a plane, a curved surface, a combination of two planes, or a combination of two planes and a curved surface. When the diversion slope 111c is a plane, the angle between the diversion slope 111c and the horizontal plane is 0°-45°. The first water retaining rib on the bearing assembly 11 is intercepted between the water receiving groove 111a and the first driving mechanism 12. The first water retaining rib can prevent condensed water from flowing toward the first driving mechanism 12, prevent condensed water from contacting the first driving mechanism 12, and avoid short circuit of the first driving mechanism 12.

[0099] In some embodiments of the present invention, the air conditioner body 30 includes an air outlet frame 31, which defines an air outlet 31a. The lower drive component 10 is mounted on the air outlet frame 31 and is located below the air outlet 31a. The air outlet frame 31 includes a water receiving portion 311, which is disposed below the lower drive component 10. The water receiving portion 311 has a water receiving chamber 311a therein. The water receiving chamber 311a has an open top, and a drainage hole 111b is formed through the bottom wall of the water receiving trough 111a. The drainage hole 111b is always located above the water receiving chamber 311a. The drainage hole 111b is disposed on one side of the water receiving trough 111a near the interior of the air outlet 31a. This arrangement allows condensed water collected in the water receiving trough 111a to flow completely into the water receiving chamber 311a through the drainage hole 111b, ensuring that the condensed water does not fall onto the ground.

[0100] In some embodiments of the present invention, a water hole 311b is provided on the bottom wall of the water receiving chamber 311a, and the water hole 311b is used for drainage. The air conditioner 1 also includes a water pipe 40, which is connected to the water hole 311b. The water pipe 40 can discharge the condensed water received by the water receiving box 111 out of the air conditioner body 30.

[0101] In some embodiments of the present invention, when the air conditioner 1 is turned on, the air conditioning air can be directed by moving the air guide plate 20. When the air conditioner 1 is turned off, the air guide plate 20 serves as the exterior panel of the air conditioner 1, enhancing the aesthetics of the air conditioner 1. It can be understood that the air guide plate 20 is movably disposed on the air conditioner body 30 to selectively block or open the air outlet 31a. The air guide plate 20 can completely block the air outlet 31a or partially block the air outlet 31a. When the air outlet 31a is closed, the air guide plate 20 completely blocks the air outlet 31a. At this time, the side of the air guide plate 20 facing away from the air outlet 31a serves as the exterior surface of the air conditioner 1, so that the air guide plate 20 serves as the exterior panel of the air conditioner 1.

[0102] Furthermore, the side of the air guide plate 20 facing the air outlet 31a includes an air guide surface portion, which can guide the air at the outlet, thereby improving the exhaust efficiency of the air conditioner 1, effectively guiding the airflow out of the air outlet 31a, and reducing the attenuation of the airflow velocity by the air guide plate 20. Furthermore, the side of the air guide portion facing the air outlet 31a is provided with an air guide arc surface, which is configured to be an arc convex in a direction away from the air outlet 31a, for guiding the airflow.

[0103] In some embodiments of the present invention, two air guide plates 20 are provided, arranged in a left-right direction. The air guide plates 20 are positioned at the air outlet 31a of the air conditioner 1 and effectively guide the air exiting the air conditioner 1. When the air guide plates 20 are open, air can be blown out through the gap between the two air guide plates 20. By adjusting the operating mode or opening position of the air guide plates 20, a variety of air supply modes can be achieved.

[0104] In some embodiments of the present invention, the air outlet 31a extends vertically, with the horizontal direction of the air outlet 31a corresponding to the left-right direction of the air conditioner 1. Two air guide plates 20 are provided, and the two air guide plates 20 are arranged in the left-right direction of the air outlet 31a. The air conditioner 1 can have multiple air outlet states, including at least one of a left air outlet state, a right air outlet state, a left and right air outlet state, and a left, center, and right air outlet state.

[0105] When the air conditioner 1 is in the left-flow state, the two air guide plates 20 are respectively at their respective right-limit positions, and the left side of the left air guide plate 20 forms an air outlet channel. The air at the air outlet 31a leaves the air conditioner 1 through the air outlet channel. For example, when the air conditioner 1 is in the left-flow state, the two air guide plates 20 are respectively at their respective right-limit positions, and an air outlet channel is formed between the left edge of the air outlet 31a and the left edge of the air guide plate 20. The air at the air outlet 31a leaves the air conditioner 1 through the air outlet channel, thereby directing the airflow to the left side of the air outlet 31a.

[0106] When the air conditioner 1 is in the right air outlet state, the two air guide plates 20 are respectively at their respective left extreme positions, and the right side of the right air guide plate 20 forms an air outlet channel, through which the air at the air outlet 31a leaves the air conditioner 1. For example, when the air conditioner 1 is in the right air outlet state, the two air guide plates 20 are respectively at their respective left extreme positions, and the right edge of the air outlet 31a and the right edge of the right air guide plate 20 form an air outlet channel, through which the air at the air outlet 31a leaves the air conditioner 1.

[0107] When the air conditioner 1 is in the left and right air outlet state, the two air guide plates 20 are respectively in their respective center positions, and the left side of the left air guide plate 20 and the right side of the right air guide plate 20 respectively form an air outlet channel, and the air at the air outlet 31a leaves the air conditioner 1 through the two air outlet channels. For example, when the air conditioner 1 is in the left and right air outlet state, the two air guide plates 20 are respectively in their respective center positions, and the two air guide plates 20 can be close to each other, and the left side of the left air guide plate 20 and the right side of the right air guide plate 20 respectively form an air outlet channel, and the air at the air outlet 31a leaves the air conditioner 1 through the two air outlet channels.

[0108] When the air conditioner 1 is in the three-way air outlet state of left, middle and right, the two air guide plates 20 are respectively between their respective left and right extreme positions, and air outlet channels are formed on the left side of the left air guide plate 20, the right side of the right air guide plate 20, and between the two air guide plates 20, respectively. The wind at the air outlet 31a leaves the air conditioner 1 through these three air outlet channels. For example, when the air conditioner 1 is in the three-air outlet state of left, middle and right, the two air guide plates 20 are away from each other and are respectively between their respective left and right extreme positions. The left air guide plate 20 is located on the left side of the air outlet 31a, but is separated from the left edge of the air outlet 31a, the right air guide plate 20 is located on the right side of the air outlet 31a but is separated from the right edge of the air outlet 31a, and between the two air guide plates 20, between the left air guide plate 20 and the left edge of the air outlet 31a, and between the right air guide plate 20 and the right edge of the air outlet 31a, air outlet channels are respectively formed between the left and right air guide plates 20, and the airflow at the air outlet 31a leaves the air conditioner 1 through these three air outlet channels.

[0109] Thus, the air conditioner 1 can adjust its own air output volume and air supply direction by adjusting different air output states, thereby enabling the air conditioner 1 to better adapt to the different air requirements of the user. In addition, it should be noted that the specific structure and driving method of the driving component are not limited and can be specifically designed according to the movement trajectory of the air guide plate 20. For example, the driving component can only drive the air guide plate 20 to slide left and right. For another example, the driving component can drive the air guide plate 20 to move forward and backward and slide left and right, wherein the forward movement of the air guide plate 20 can open the air outlet 31a.

[0110] A specific embodiment of the air conditioner 1 using the lower driving component 10 of the present invention is briefly described below.

[0111] The air conditioner 1 includes an air conditioner body 30, an air deflector 20, and a drive unit. The air conditioner body 30 includes an air outlet frame 31, which defines an air outlet 31a extending vertically. Air deflectors 20 shield the air outlet 31a. Two air deflectors 20 are arranged in a left-right orientation and extend vertically. The lower drive unit 10 is mounted on the air outlet frame 31. The lower drive unit 10 is positioned below the air deflector 20 and also below the air outlet 31a.

[0112] When the air conditioner 1 is powered on, the air outlet 31a is open. By moving the air guide plate 20 to open the air outlet 31a, the air guide plate 20 can also guide the conditioned air. When the air conditioner 1 is powered off, the air outlet 31a is closed, and the air guide plate 20 shields the air outlet 31a. In this case, the air guide plate 20 serves as the exterior panel of the air conditioner 1. The outer surface of the air guide plate 20 serves as the exterior surface directly in front of the air conditioner 1, enhancing the aesthetics of the air conditioner 1. The side of the air guide plate 20 facing the air outlet 31a includes an air guide surface that guides the air at the outlet.

[0113] The lower drive component 10 includes a bearing assembly 11 and a first drive mechanism 12. The air deflector 20 is connected to the lower drive component 10 and can be disposed below the air deflector 20. The lower drive component 10 can drive the air deflector 20 to adjust its position within the air conditioner 1 to meet the operating requirements of the air conditioner 1 under different operating conditions.

[0114] The bearing assembly 11 includes a water receiving box 111, a mounting plate 113, a second driving mechanism 114 disposed on the mounting plate 113, and a first water retaining rib. A water receiving trough 111a is formed on the water receiving box 111. The top of the water receiving trough 111a is open. The water receiving trough 111a is located directly below at least a portion of the air deflector 20. The water receiving trough 111a is used to receive condensed water dripping from the air deflector 20. The water receiving trough 111a of the bearing assembly 11 is disposed below the air deflector 20, and is driven by the first driving mechanism 12 to move together with the air deflector 20. The first driving mechanism 12 includes a first rack 121 and a first gear 122. Through the cooperation of the first gear 122 and the first rack 121, the bearing assembly 11 and the air deflector 20 can be driven to move inward and outward directions relative to the air outlet 31a. The mounting plate 113 is connected to the first drive mechanism 12, and the water receiving box 111 is connected to the second drive mechanism 114. The first drive mechanism 12 drives the mounting plate 113, which in turn drives the second drive mechanism 114 to move together. The second drive mechanism 114 drives the water receiving box 111, which in turn drives the air deflector 20 to move laterally relative to the mounting plate 113 along the air outlet 31a to adjust the lateral position of the air deflector 20 relative to the air outlet 31a. A drainage hole 111b is formed through the bottom wall of the water receiving trough 111a. Drain hole 111b is located on a side of the water receiving trough 111a near the interior of the air outlet 31a. Drain hole 111b is connected to the preset water receiving chamber 311a. Condensed water collected in the water receiving trough 111a is discharged through drain hole 111b. Drain hole 111b is located on a side of the water receiving trough 111a near the interior of the air outlet 31a. The bottom wall of the water receiving trough 111a is formed with a planar diversion slope 111c, with an angle between diversion slope 111c and the horizontal plane ranging from 0° to 45°. Drain hole 111b is located at the bottom of diversion slope 111c, directing condensed water from the water receiving trough 111a to drain hole 111b. A first water retaining rib on the carrier assembly 11 is located between the water receiving trough 111a and the first drive mechanism 12, preventing condensed water from flowing toward the first drive mechanism 12 and causing damage thereto.

[0115] The air outlet frame 31 of the air conditioner body 30 includes a water receiving portion 311, which is located below the lower drive component 10. The water receiving portion 311 has a water receiving chamber 311a within it. The top of the water receiving chamber 311a is open, and a drainage hole 111b is formed on the bottom wall of the water receiving trough 111a. The drainage hole 111b is always located above the water receiving chamber 311a. The drainage hole 111b is located on one side of the water receiving trough 111a near the inside of the air outlet 31a. The bottom wall of the water receiving chamber 311a has a drainage hole 311b, which is used to drain water. The air conditioner 1 also includes a drainage pipe 40, which is connected to the drainage hole 311b. The drainage pipe 40 can drain condensed water received by the water receiving box 111 out of the air conditioner body 30.

[0116] When the air conditioner 1 begins exhausting air, the air guide plate 20, driven by the first drive mechanism 12, moves inward and outward relative to the air outlet 31a. The air guide plate 20 moves away from the air outlet 31a to increase the exposed area of ​​the air outlet 31a and facilitate air discharge from the air conditioner 1. Driven by the first drive mechanism 12, the second drive mechanism 114 drives the water collection box 111 to move laterally relative to the mounting plate 113 on the carrier assembly 11 along the air outlet 31a to adjust the air flow direction of the air outlet 31a. The water collection box 111 always remains directly below the air guide plate 20 to collect condensed water condensed on the air guide plate 20 as it moves.

[0117] The condensed water drops into the water receiving groove 111a of the water receiving box 111, and flows to the drainage hole 111b through the guide slope 111c on the bottom wall of the water receiving groove 111a. The condensed water flows into the water receiving cavity 311a of the water receiving part 311 through the drainage hole 111b, and is gathered in the drainage hole 311b on the bottom wall of the water receiving cavity 311a. The condensed water is discharged into the drainage pipe 40 of the air conditioner 1 through the drainage hole 311b, and is discharged from the air conditioner 1 through the drainage pipe 40.

[0118] The present invention sets the water collecting box 111 on the supporting assembly 11. When the air guide plate 20 and the supporting assembly 11 move together, the problem of exhaust condensation water of the air conditioner 1 dripping to the ground can be solved. The solution of the present invention has low cost, high assembly efficiency and high reliability, which improves the user experience.
