[0047] 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.

[0048] The disclosure below provides many different embodiments or examples for realizing different structures of the present invention. In order to simplify the disclosure of the present invention, the components and settings of specific examples are described below. Of course, they are merely examples and are not intended to limit the present invention. In addition, the present invention may repeat reference numbers and / or letters in different examples. This repetition is for the purpose of simplicity and clarity and does not in itself indicate the relationship between the various embodiments and / or settings discussed. In addition, the present invention provides examples of various specific processes and materials, but those skilled in the art will appreciate the applicability of other processes and / or the use of other materials.

[0049] Hereinafter, an air guide member 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0050] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the wind deflector component 100 may include: a wind deflector 1 and a drive assembly 2. The wind deflector 1 has a pivot axis L1 extending along the length of the wind deflector 1 and passing through the wind deflector 1. In other words, the wind deflector 1 has a pivot axis L1, which extends along the length of the wind deflector 1 and passes through the wind deflector 1. The drive assembly 2 is connected to the wind deflector 1 and is used to drive the wind deflector 1 to rotate about the pivot axis L1. The drive assembly 2 is also used to drive the wind deflector 1 to move back and forth along a set trajectory L2 with the pivot axis L1.

[0051] Thus, by providing the drive assembly 2, the wind deflector 1 is driven to move along the set trajectory L2, while the pivot axis L1 also moves along the set trajectory L2 with the wind deflector 1, so that the wind deflector 1 can rotate about the pivot axis L1 at different positions, thereby presenting a variety of wind guide adjustment effects. It should be noted that the specific form of the set trajectory L2 is not limited and can be designed according to the specific application scenario, for example, it can be a straight trajectory or a curved trajectory, etc., and this is not limited here.

[0052] Combine Figure 2 In the cross section of the wind guide plate 1, the line connecting the two points farthest apart on the wind guide plate 1 is the width baseline L3. The wind guide plate 1 includes a first wind guide surface 11 and a second wind guide surface 12, which are arranged on both sides of the width baseline L3 along the thickness direction of the wind guide plate 1. From one end to the other end of the width baseline L3, the first wind guide surface 11 and the second wind guide surface 12 first extend in a direction away from the width baseline L3 until the maximum thickness a of the wind guide plate 1 is obtained, and then extend in a direction close to the width baseline L3. The maximum thickness a of the wind guide plate 1 is less than the length b of the width baseline L3.

[0053] Thus, the wind deflector 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention, driven by the drive assembly 2, combines the two motions of rotation of the wind deflector 1 about the pivot axis L1 and movement along the set trajectory L2, and, combined with the cross-sectional shape characteristics of the wind deflector 1, can present a variety of different wind deflection and outlet effects, thereby meeting a wide range of air outlet requirements. Furthermore, the wind deflector 100 requires fewer wind deflectors 1, which can reduce the overall structural complexity and production costs of the wind deflector 100, thereby improving production efficiency.

[0054] For example, combined with Figure 1 and Figure 2 When the air guide plate 1 is set in the air outlet channel 202, assuming that the width direction of the air outlet channel 202 is the left-right direction and the length direction of the air outlet channel 202 is the up-down direction, the trajectory L2 is set to extend along a straight line and / or a curve in the left-right direction, and the pivot axis L1 extends along the up-down direction. The width c of the air outlet channel 202 where the air guide plate 1 is set is set to be greater than the length b of the width baseline L3 of the air guide plate 1, so that the air guide plate 1 can divert the air outlet channel 202 into two air outlet gaps located on the left and right sides of the air guide plate 1, namely the air outlet gap 203 on the left and the air outlet gap 204 on the right.

[0055] When the air guide plate 1 moves left and right along the set trajectory L2, the size of the air outlet gap on the left and right sides of the air guide plate 1 can be changed. For example, when the air guide plate 1 moves to the left, the air outlet gap 203 on the left side decreases and the air outlet gap 204 on the right side increases. When the air guide plate 1 moves to the right, the air outlet gap 203 on the left side increases and the air outlet gap 204 on the right side decreases.

[0056] When the air guide plate 1 rotates along the pivot axis L1, the size of the air outlet gap on the left and right sides of the air guide plate 1 can be further fine-tuned, and the air outlet direction of the air outlet gap on each side can be adjusted, so that the air outlet is directed forward to achieve strong long-distance air supply, or the air outlet is directed toward the sides to achieve close-range soft air supply, thereby meeting different actual needs.

[0057] If the wind deflector 1 Figure 2 The position shown is rotated gradually in the clockwise direction, which can gradually reduce the air outlet gap 203 on the left side and make the air outlet gap 203 on the left side gradually toward the left side, and the air outlet feeling at the close distance position gradually becomes softer. Figure 2 The position shown is gradually rotated in the counterclockwise direction, so that the air outlet gap 204 on the right side is gradually reduced, and the air outlet from the air outlet gap 204 on the right side is gradually directed to the right, and the air outlet feeling at the close distance position is gradually softened.

[0058] Moreover, since the first wind guide surface 11 and the second wind guide surface 12 first extend in a direction away from the width baseline L3 and then extend in a direction close to the width baseline L3 from one end of the width baseline L3 to the other end, the wind resistance caused by the wind guide plate 1 can be effectively reduced, and the diversion effect of the wind guide plate 1 can be improved. No matter in which direction the wind guide plate 1 is rotated or at what angle, it can present a better diversion and wind guiding effect.

[0059] For example, refer to Figure 2 From one end to the other end of the width baseline L3, the first wind guide surface 11 includes a first wind guide segment 111 extending in a direction away from the width baseline L3 and a second wind guide segment 112 extending in a direction close to the width baseline L3. The second wind guide surface 12 includes a third wind guide segment 121 extending in a direction away from the width baseline L3 and a fourth wind guide segment 122 extending in a direction close to the width baseline L3. That is to say, from one end to the other end of the width baseline L3, the first wind guide segment 111 and the third wind guide segment 121 respectively extend in a direction away from the width baseline L3, and the second wind guide segment 112 and the fourth wind guide segment 122 respectively extend in a direction away from the width baseline L3. In this way, the line connecting the junction of the first wind guide segment 111 and the second wind guide segment 112 and the junction of the third wind guide segment 121 and the fourth wind guide segment 122 is the maximum thickness of the wind guide plate 1.

[0060] For example Figure 2 As shown, when the width baseline L3 of the air guide plate 1 is substantially parallel to the airflow direction of the air outlet channel 202, when the airflow flows outward from the air outlet channel 202, it can be smoothly diverted to both sides by the first air guide segment 111 and the third air guide segment 121; assuming that the air guide plate 1 is rotated 90 degrees in a clockwise direction until the width baseline L3 of the air guide plate 1 is substantially perpendicular to the airflow direction of the air outlet channel 202, for example Figure 3 As shown, when the airflow flows outward from the air outlet channel 202, it can be smoothly diverted and guided to both sides by the first air guide section 111 and the second air guide section 112, and so on. Therefore, regardless of the rotation angle of the air guide plate 1, a good diversion and airflow guiding effect can be achieved.

[0061] Optionally, the drive assembly 2 can be constructed to drive the air guide plate 1 to rotate at least 90 degrees in the forward direction (such as clockwise) and the reverse direction (such as counterclockwise) around the pivot axis L1, for example, the air guide plate 1 can be rotated between an angular position where the width baseline L3 is perpendicular to the air outlet direction of the air outlet channel 202, and an angular position where the width baseline L3 is parallel to the air outlet direction of the air outlet channel 202, thereby achieving a wider range of adjustment of the air guide effect.

[0062] Of course, the present invention is not limited to this. In other embodiments of the present invention, the drive assembly 2 can also be configured to drive the air deflector 1 to rotate only in one direction about the pivot axis L1, for example, only in the forward direction (e.g., clockwise) or only in the reverse direction (e.g., counterclockwise). Alternatively, the drive assembly 2 can also be configured to drive the air deflector 1 to rotate about the pivot axis L1 at other angles, for example, a rotation angle range of 30° to 360°, etc., to meet different air outlet effect adjustments and different actual design requirements. This will not be detailed here.

[0063] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the first wind-guiding surface 11 and the second wind-guiding surface 12 are symmetrical about the width baseline L3. For example, when the first wind-guiding surface 11 includes the first wind-guiding segment 111 and the second wind-guiding segment 112, and the second wind-guiding surface 12 includes the third wind-guiding segment 121 and the fourth wind-guiding segment 122, when the first wind-guiding surface 11 and the second wind-guiding surface 12 are symmetrical about the width baseline L3, the first wind-guiding segment 111 and the third wind-guiding segment 121 may be symmetrical about the width baseline L3, and the second wind-guiding segment 112 and the fourth wind-guiding segment 122 may be symmetrical about the width baseline L3.

[0064] Thus, the processing is convenient, and when adjusting, when the wind deflector 1 rotates in the forward and reverse directions at substantially the same angle, the wind deflector angle adjustment range on both sides of the wind deflector 1 can be substantially the same. Figure 2 After the position shown is rotated clockwise to a set angle, the air outlet angle on the left side is the same as that of the air guide plate 1. Figure 2 After rotating the position shown counterclockwise to the set angle, the air outlet angle on the right side is basically the same, which is beneficial to the wind direction adjustment design on both sides.

[0065] Further, if Figure 2 As shown, the cross section of the air guide plate 1 can be a rhombus, the long diagonal line of the rhombus is the width baseline L3, and the short diagonal line of the rhombus corresponds to the position of the maximum thickness a of the air guide plate 1. For example, Figure 2 In the example shown in , when the first wind guide surface 11 includes the above-mentioned first wind guide segment 111 and the second wind guide segment 112, and the second wind guide surface 12 includes the above-mentioned third wind guide segment 121 and the fourth wind guide segment 122, the length of the first wind guide segment 111, the length of the second wind guide segment 112, the length of the third wind guide segment 121, and the length of the fourth wind guide segment 122 are all equal, so that the cross-section of the wind guide plate 1 can be diamond-shaped.

[0066] Therefore, when the wind deflector 1 can only rotate in the same direction around the pivot axis L1, for example, only in the forward direction (such as clockwise) or only in the reverse direction (such as counterclockwise), the required wind deflection requirements can be achieved with a smaller rotation angle. Figure 2In the example shown, when the air deflector 1 can only rotate in the forward direction, the air outlet angle of the air outlet gap 203 on the left side of the air deflector 1 can be adjusted when the air deflector 1 rotates at an angle of 0-90 degrees. The air outlet angle of the air outlet gap 204 on the right side of the air deflector 1 can be adjusted when the air deflector 1 rotates at an angle of 90-180 degrees. The adjustment effect on the left and right sides is the same. In addition, the air deflector 1 is easy to manufacture and install and has no directionality.

[0067] Further, if Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, when the cross-section of the air guide plate 1 is a rhombus, the adjacent sides of the rhombus are connected by a smooth transition curve. For example, when the first air guide surface 11 includes the first air guide section 111 and the second air guide section 112, and the second air guide surface 12 includes the third air guide section 121 and the fourth air guide section 122, the first air guide section 111 and the second air guide section 112 are connected by a smooth transition curve, the second air guide section 112 and the fourth air guide section 122 are connected by a smooth transition curve, the fourth air guide section 122 and the third air guide section 121 are connected by a smooth transition curve, and the third air guide section 121 and the first air guide section 111 are connected by a smooth transition curve. This can reduce the problem of condensation forming at sharp corners and improve product performance.

[0068] Of course, the present invention is not limited to this. The cross-section of the air guide plate 1 can also be constructed into other shapes. For example, at least one of the four sides of the rhombus can be deformed into an outward convex curve, or at least one of the four sides of the rhombus can be deformed into an inward concave curve, etc., to form other cross-sectional shapes.

[0069] Optionally, in some examples, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, when the cross-section of the air deflector 1 is a rhombus, the pivot axis L1 can pass through the center of the rhombus, i.e., the intersection of the short and long diagonals of the rhombus, thereby facilitating the design and control of the rotation angle. Of course, the present invention is not limited to this, and the pivot axis L1 can also be offset from the center of the rhombus to meet other design requirements, which will not be detailed here.

[0070] In some embodiments of the present invention, the air deflector 1 is a hollow air deflector 1. For example, the air deflector 1 can be formed by splicing together several air deflector panels, with the interior thereof forming a hollow structure. The air deflector 1 can also be manufactured through an extrusion molding process, with the interior thereof forming a hollow structure, thereby reducing the weight of the air deflector 1 and providing an effective heat insulation effect, thereby improving the anti-condensation effect of the air deflector 1. Of course, the hollow structure of the air deflector 1 can also be filled with thermal insulation material to further improve the heat insulation and anti-condensation effects of the air deflector 1, which will not be described in detail here.

[0071] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 4-Figure 5As shown, the drive assembly 2 may include: a drive box 21, a sliding member 22, a first motor 23 and a second motor 24. A guide rail 211 extending along a set trajectory L2 is provided in the drive box 21. The sliding member 22 is provided in the drive box 21 and cooperates with the guide rail 211. The first motor 23 is installed in the drive box 21 and drives the sliding member 22 to slide along the guide rail 211 through the transmission mechanism 25. The second motor 24 is installed on the sliding member 22 to follow the sliding member 22 to slide along the guide rail 211. The second motor 24 is connected to the air guide plate 1 to drive the air guide plate 1 to rotate around the pivot axis L1.

[0072] As a result, the drive assembly 2 has a simple structure and can simply and effectively drive the wind deflector 1 to rotate about the pivot axis L1, and also drive the wind deflector 1 and the pivot axis L1 to reciprocate along the set trajectory L2. More specifically, by providing the first motor 23 and the slider 22, the wind deflector 1 and the second motor 24 can be driven to move along the set trajectory L2. At the same time, by providing the second motor 24 to move together with the wind deflector 1, the second motor 24 can drive the wind deflector 1 to rotate about the pivot axis L1 at any position.

[0073] In some optional embodiments, such as Figure 4-Figure 5 As shown, the drive assembly 2 may include a gear 251 and a rack 252 mechanism, which is disposed within the drive box 21 and includes a gear 251 and a rack 252 that mesh with each other. The first motor 23 is connected to the gear 251 to drive the gear 251 to rotate, and the rack 252 is connected to the slider 22 to drive the slider 22 to move. Thus, by providing the gear 251 and rack 252 mechanism, the air deflector 1 can be simply and effectively driven to reciprocate along the set trajectory L2. Furthermore, since the gear 251 and rack 252 mechanism is disposed within the drive box 21, the drive box 21 can be protected, thereby improving drive reliability. Of course, the present invention is not limited to this, and the slider 22 may also be driven to move by mechanisms such as cams and connecting rods, which will not be described in detail here.

[0074] It should be noted that there is no limit to the way the rack 252 is connected to the sliding member 22. For example, the rack 252 and the sliding member 22 can be separate parts and assembled together, or the rack 252 and the sliding member 22 can be integrally formed parts, etc., which facilitates processing and has high structural reliability.

[0075] It should be noted that the manner in which the first motor 23 is connected to the gear 251 is not limited. For example, the first motor 23 can be directly connected to the gear 251 so that the gear 251 is directly driven by the first motor 23 to rotate, thereby simplifying the structure. Of course, it is not limited thereto. The first motor 23 can also drive the gear 251 to rotate via other transmission mechanisms 25 to meet different speed requirements. Optionally, the first motor 23 is a stepping motor, thereby facilitating mobile position control. Optionally, the body of the first motor 23 is arranged outside the drive box 21, and the drive shaft of the first motor 23 extends into the drive box 21 and is connected to the gear 251 in the drive box 21, thereby facilitating the heat dissipation of the first motor 23.

[0076] It should be noted that the second motor 24 can be connected to the air deflector 1 in any manner. For example, the second motor 24 can be directly connected to the air deflector 1 so that the second motor 24 directly drives the air deflector 1, thereby simplifying the structure. Of course, the second motor 24 is not limited to this. The second motor 24 can also drive the air deflector 1 through other transmission mechanisms 25 to meet different speed requirements. Optionally, the second motor 24 is a stepper motor to facilitate rotation angle control.

[0077] Alternatively, the second motor 24 can be disposed within the drive box 21, thereby improving the compactness of the structure of the drive assembly 2, avoiding the need for a wide seal on the drive box 21 to allow the second motor 24 to move, and improving the airtightness of the drive box 21. When the second motor 24 can be disposed within the drive box 21, and the second motor 24 is directly connected to the air deflector 1, an escape hole can be provided on the rack 252, and an escape chute can be provided on the drive box 21. The body of the second motor 24 is fixed to the slider 22, and the drive shaft of the second motor 24 passes through the escape hole and the escape chute and is directly connected to the air deflector 1. For example, the drive shaft can be plugged in and matched with an axial hole of a non-circular surface, thereby driving the air deflector 1 to rotate. When the slider 22 slides along the guide rail 211, the drive shaft of the second motor 24 cooperates with the escape hole, causing the second motor 24 to follow the slider 22 and move along the escape chute.

[0078] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 5 As shown, the second motor 24 is disposed within the drive box 21, and the drive assembly 2 further includes a stopper 26 disposed within the drive box 21 and defining a wiring channel. The motor wire of the second motor 24 is disposed within the wiring channel and is movable along the extension direction of the wiring channel. For example, as the second motor 24 moves, the motor wire can be pulled out of or inserted into the wiring channel. Thus, the stopper 26 can provide a wiring guide, reducing interference between the motor wire of the second motor 24 and the transmission mechanism 25, such as the gear 251 and rack 252, thereby improving the operating reliability of the second motor 24 and the transmission mechanism 25.

[0079] It should be noted that the wiring channel can be defined solely by the stopper 26, or by the stopper 26 in conjunction with the drive box 21. Alternatively, the wiring channel can be formed as a curved channel, thereby reducing bending of the motor cable of the second motor 24 caused by the wiring channel during movement, thereby increasing the service life of the motor cable of the second motor 24 and improving the operating reliability of the second motor 24. Alternatively, the stopper 26 can be pivotally connected to the drive box 21, thereby reducing bending of the motor cable of the second motor 24 caused by the wiring channel during movement, thereby increasing the service life of the motor cable of the second motor 24 and improving the operating reliability of the second motor 24.

[0080] In some embodiments of the present invention, as shown in FIG1 , the drive box 21 includes a box body 212 and a box cover 213 that are arranged opposite to each other. Figure 5 and Figure 7 The transmission mechanism 25 is disposed within the box body 212, and the limiting member 26 is disposed on the box cover 213. Thus, when the box cover 213 is located above the box body 212, the motor wire of the second motor 24 can be suspended above the transmission mechanism 25 under the limiting action of the limiting member 26, thereby more effectively reducing the interference between the motor wire of the second motor 24 and the transmission mechanism 25, such as the gear 251 and rack 252, thereby improving the operating reliability of the second motor 24 and the transmission mechanism 25. In addition, since the drive box 21 includes the box body 212 and the box cover 213, the box body 212 and the box cover 213 are configured to be detachably connected, which can facilitate the installation of the internal transmission mechanism 25, the sliding member 22, etc.

[0081] In some embodiments of the present invention, the drive assembly 2 may further include a hub 27, which is mounted on the drive box 21 and is used to reel in the motor wire of the second motor 24. Thus, when the sliding member 22 drives the second motor 24 to move to a position farther from the hub 27, the motor wire of the second motor 24 can be drawn out from the hub 27, and when the sliding member 22 drives the second motor 24 to move to a position closer to the hub 27, the motor wire of the second motor 24 can be retracted into the hub 27, thereby reducing the free play margin of the motor wire of the second motor 24, thereby further reducing the interference between the motor wire of the second motor 24 and the transmission mechanism 25, such as the gear 251 and rack 252, and improving the working reliability of the second motor 24 and the transmission mechanism 25.

[0082] It should be noted that the specific structure of the hub 27 is not limited. For example, the hub 27 may include a hub box, a winding reel and a coil spring. The hub box is fixed to the drive box 21, and the winding reel and the coil spring are both arranged in the hub box. One end of the motor wire of the second motor 24 is fixed to the winding reel. The coil spring is connected between the winding reel and the hub box to apply a driving force to the winding reel to reel the motor wire of the second motor 24 onto the winding reel. When the sliding member 22 drives the second motor 24 to move, it can overcome the elastic force of the coil spring, so that a part of the motor wire of the second motor 24 is unwound from the winding reel. Therefore, by setting the hub 27, the excess motor wire of the second motor 24 can be stored.

[0083] However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the body of the second motor 24 may also be disposed outside the drive box 21, thereby avoiding interference between the motor wire of the second motor 24 and the gear 251 and rack 252 mechanisms in the drive box 21, thereby improving the working reliability of the drive assembly 2.

[0084] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 As shown, the two ends of the length of the wind deflector 1 are respectively connected to a drive component 2. In this way, the force applied by each drive component 2 can be reduced, and the service life of each drive component 2 can be increased. Moreover, by arranging the drive components 2 at the two ends of the length of the wind deflector 1, the movement stability of the wind deflector 1 can be improved. In addition, by arranging the drive components 2 at the ends of the length of the wind deflector 1 rather than in the middle of the wind deflector 1, the wind resistance generated by the drive components 2 can be reduced and the ventilation effect can be improved. It should be noted that the structures of the two drive components 2 at the two ends of the length of the wind deflector 1 can be the same or different, as long as they can achieve the same action of driving the wind deflector 1, which will not be elaborated here.

[0085] Hereinafter, an air conditioner 1000 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0086] like Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the air conditioner 1000 may include: an air conditioner body 200, an air guide component 100, and an opening / closing door component 300. The air conditioner body 200 has an air outlet 201, and the air conditioner body 200 has an air outlet passage 202 in communication with the air outlet 201. For example, the air conditioner body 200 may further include a ventilation component 205 and a heat exchange component 206. The air outlet passage 202 may be defined by the ventilation component 205, and the heat exchanger may be located on the air inlet side of the ventilation component 205.

[0087] The wind guide component 100 is a wind guide component 100 according to any embodiment of the present invention. The wind guide plate 1 of the wind guide component 100 is arranged in the air outlet channel 202, and the length direction of the wind guide plate 1 is the same as the length direction of the air outlet 201. The driving component 2 drives the wind guide plate 1 to reciprocate along the set trajectory L2 in the width direction of the air outlet 201. Thus, the wind guide plate 1 is driven by the driving component 2 to rotate around the pivot axis L1 (combined with the Figure 11 ) and move along the set trajectory L2 (combined Figure 10 ) A combination of these two sports Figure 12 ), and combined with the cross-sectional shape characteristics of the air guide plate 1, a variety of different air guide and outlet effects can be presented, thereby meeting more air outlet requirements. Moreover, the number of air guide plates 1 required for the air guide component 100 is relatively small, which can reduce the complexity and production cost of the overall structure of the air guide component 100 and the air conditioner 1000, thereby improving production efficiency.

[0088] The door component 300 includes a door for opening and closing the air outlet 201. When the door closes the air outlet 201, Figure 9 As shown, the air guide plate 1 is located on the inner side of the switch door, and when the switch door opens the air outlet 201, as shown in FIG. Figure 10-12 As shown, the door opens the air outlet 201, revealing the air guide plate 1. Thus, by providing a door that can open and close the air outlet 201, there is no need to use the air guide plate 1 to open and close the air outlet 201, so that the width of the air guide plate 1 can be set to be smaller than the width of the air outlet 201. This is conducive to forming ventilation gaps on both sides of the air guide plate 1.

[0089] Optionally, the door may further include a drive device for driving the door to move, thereby enabling automatic opening and closing of the door without manual operation. Furthermore, it should be noted that the number of doors, the manner of movement, and the relative position of the doors with respect to the air conditioner body 200 are not limited, and the doors may slide outside the air conditioner body 200 or inside the air conditioner body 200, etc., which will not be elaborated here.

[0090] In addition, it should be noted that the number of the air guide plates 1 provided at the air outlet 201 is not limited and can be one or more and can be set according to actual requirements. Figure 10-12 As shown, an air guide plate 1 is provided at the air outlet 201. When the air guide plate 1 reciprocates within a predetermined range of a set trajectory L2, air gaps are formed between the air guide plate 1 and the air outlet channel 202 on both sides of the width, for example, the air outlet gap 203 on the left side and the air outlet gap 204 on the right side shown in the figure. This allows for various air outlet effects to be adjusted.

[0091] For example Figure 8 and Figure 10As shown, the width direction of the air outlet channel 202 is the left-right direction, the length direction of the air outlet channel 202 is the up-down direction, the set track L2 extends along the curve in the left-right direction, and the pivot axis L1 extends in the up-down direction. When the air guide plate 1 moves left and right along the set track L2, the size of the air outlet gap on the left and right sides of the air guide plate 1 can be changed. Figure 11 When the air guide plate 1 rotates along the pivot axis L1, the size of the air outlet gap on the left and right sides of the air guide plate 1 can be further fine-tuned, and the air outlet direction of the air outlet gap on each side can be adjusted, so that the air outlet is directed forward to achieve strong long-distance air supply, or the air outlet is directed to the sides to achieve close-range soft air supply, thereby meeting different actual needs.

[0092] It should be noted that the specific proportion of the predetermined range in the set trajectory L2 is not limited and can be set according to actual requirements. For example, the predetermined range can occupy a part of the extension direction of the set trajectory L2, or the entire extension direction of the set trajectory L2 can be the predetermined range, which will not be elaborated here.

[0093] Below, refer to Figures 1-12 , describing an air conditioner 1000 according to a specific embodiment of the present invention.

[0094] The air conditioner 1000 of this embodiment is a split floor-standing air conditioner and includes an air conditioner body 200, an air guide member 100, and a door opening / closing member 300. The rear side of the air conditioner body 200 has an arc-shaped air inlet protruding rearward. A ventilation member 205 is disposed within the air conditioner body 200. The ventilation member 205 includes an air duct and a fan. A heat exchange member 206 is also disposed within the air conditioner body 200. The heat exchange member 206 may include a heat exchanger and electric auxiliary heating.

[0095] An air outlet 201 is provided on the front side of the air conditioner body 200. The length direction of the air outlet 201 is the up and down direction, and the width direction is the left and right direction. The air conditioner body 200 has an air outlet channel 202 connected with the air outlet 201. The opening and closing door component 300 includes an opening and closing door for opening and closing the air outlet 201. When the opening and closing door closes the air outlet 201, the opening and closing door blocks the air outlet 201 and is located on the outside of the air guide component 100. When the opening and closing door opens the air outlet 201, the opening and closing door is stored and hidden in the air conditioner body 200, and the air guide plate 1 of the air guide component 100 can be exposed from the air outlet 201.

[0096] The wind guide component 100 includes an wind guide plate 1 arranged at the air outlet channel 202. The length direction of the wind guide plate 1 is also the up and down direction, and the cross-section of the wind guide plate 1 is diamond-shaped. The wind guide component 100 also includes a driving component 2. The driving component 2 drives the wind guide plate 1 to move back and forth along the set trajectory L2 in the left and right directions, and the driving component 2 also drives the wind guide plate 1 to rotate along the pivot axis L1. The pivot axis L1 extends in the up and down direction and passes through the center of the wind guide plate 1.

[0097] The wind deflector 1 can move left and right along the set track L2 to swing and sweep the wind, and the wind deflector 1 can rotate around its own pivot axis L1. When the wind deflector 1 rotates to 90 degrees (for example Figure 11 As shown), the air outlet area is relatively small, the air outlet speed becomes larger, and ultra-long-distance air supply is achieved. When the air guide plate 1 rotates to 0 degrees (for example Figure 10 As shown), the air outlet area is relatively large, the air outlet speed is low, the air outlet is soft, and the air volume is large.

[0098] In this embodiment, by widening the air outlet 201 and the air outlet channel 202, and using the air guide plate 1 with a diamond-shaped cross-section in a wider space to sweep the air, the use is more comfortable. The air guide plate 1 can achieve a diversion effect at the air outlet channel 202. Specific air supply modes such as multiple air outlets and surrounding air outlets can be achieved. In short, the air guide plate 1 can swing left and right to sweep the air and rotate along its own pivot axis L1. The air guide plate 1 can be used at different positions of the air outlet channel 202 to guide the wind and guide the wind to different areas of the room. It can achieve a variety of air supply modes such as surrounding air supply on both sides, air supply without dead angles in the entire area, and cold air anti-direct blowing, so as to achieve rapid cooling of the air conditioner 1000 and a comfortable air supply experience. For example, a variety of air supply modes such as conventional air supply, surrounding soft air supply, long-distance strong air supply, gusts (i.e., simulating gusts of breeze in nature) can be achieved to meet various usage needs.

[0099] The cross-section of the wind guide plate 1 is diamond-shaped, and the wind guide plate 1 is a hollow structure, that is, the interior of the diamond-shaped wind guide plate 1 is a sandwich design, and thermal insulation material can be provided inside to achieve thermal insulation for the diamond-shaped wind guide plate 1 and prevent condensation. Moreover, the outer wall of the diamond-shaped wind guide plate 1 can be designed without sharp corners, for example, a rounded corner design can be adopted to prevent condensation from occurring at sharp corners.

[0100] A drive box 21 is respectively provided above and below the air guide plate 1. A sliding member 22, a transmission mechanism 25, a first motor 23, a second motor 24, a limit member 26 and a hub 27 are installed in the drive box 21. The transmission mechanism 25 may include a gear 251 and a rack 252. The first motor 23 drives the gear 251 to rotate, and the gear 251 engages the transmission rack 252. The rack 252 is an integral part of the sliding member 22, driving the sliding member 22 to move together. The second motor 24 is provided on the sliding member 22 to move with the sliding member 22. The output shaft of the second motor 24 passes through the drive box 21 and is plug-fitted with the air guide plate 1 through a non-circular surface, thereby realizing the pivotal drive of the air guide plate 1 and driving the air guide plate 1 to move with the sliding member 22, thereby realizing the driving of the air guide plate 1.

[0101] The limiter 26 and hub 27 manage, limit, and store the motor wires of the second motor 24, preventing them from becoming entangled in the gear 251 and rack 252 mechanisms. The hub 27 is equipped with a winding reel, which winds the motor wires of the second motor 24 around it. The motor wires are then guided through the limiter 26 to the second motor 24. As the rack 252 drives the second motor 24, the limiter 26 and hub 27 ensure that the motor wires of the second motor 24 do not become entangled in the gear 251 and rack 252 mechanisms.

[0102] It should be noted that the air guide component 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention is not limited to application to the air conditioner 1000. For example, it can also be applied to other devices with air outlet functions, such as air purifiers, etc., which will not be described in detail here. In addition, it should be noted that the specific type of the air conditioner 1000 according to the embodiment of the present invention is not limited. It can be an indoor unit in a split-type air conditioner, such as a floor-standing cabinet unit or a wall-mounted unit, or it can be an integrated air conditioner, such as a mobile air conditioner or a window air conditioner.
