[0043] Next, reference is made to Figures 1 - 12 Describe the wall-mounted air conditioner 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0044] The wall-mounted air conditioner 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention may include: an air conditioner body 20 and a wind deflector assembly 10.

[0045] The wall-mounted air conditioner 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention is suitable for being installed on a high wall indoors to avoid occupying indoor space and enable the wall-mounted air conditioner 100 to better control the indoor temperature at a high position indoors, thereby improving the use effect.

[0046] Since when traditional wall-mounted air conditioners need to disassemble and wash the wind deflector structure, workers need to climb to the high-positioned wall-mounted air conditioner to disassemble and assemble the wind deflector, and it is easy to have accidents during high-altitude operations, there are safety risks.

[0047] To this end, an embodiment of the present invention designs a wall-mounted air conditioner 100 in which the air deflector 1 can be adjusted to the lower part of the air conditioner body 20. Thus, when the wall-mounted air conditioner 100 needs to disassemble and wash the air deflector 1 structure, there is no need for the staff to climb to the high-positioned wall-mounted air conditioner 100 to disassemble and assemble the air deflector 1. The staff only needs to control the wall-mounted air conditioner 100 to adjust the air deflector 1 to the lower part of the air conditioner body 20, and then can directly remove the air deflector 1 under the wall-mounted air conditioner 100 to disassemble and assemble the air deflector 1, avoiding the occurrence of high-altitude operation accidents and reducing the safety risk.

[0048] Among them, the air conditioner body 20 has an air outlet 2011, and the air conditioner body 20 discharges air to the external environment through the air outlet 2011. The air deflector assembly 10 is arranged on the air conditioner body 20, and the air deflector assembly 10 includes an air deflector 1.

[0049] Specifically, the air deflector 1 is movably arranged at the air outlet 2011 to direct the air at the air outlet 2011 so that the air can be discharged in a suitable direction, improving the comfort of the air discharge of the wall-mounted air conditioner 100. The air deflector 1 can be switched between a locked state and an unlocked state to achieve the purpose of switching between the air guiding state and the disassembly and assembly state.

[0050] Among them, when the air deflector 1 is in the locked state, the air deflector 1 is located at the air outlet 2011, and the air deflector 1 can swing around a first direction (such as Figure 1 the left-right direction shown) at this time. The air deflector 1 is in the air guiding state, and the air deflector 1 can be stably arranged at the air outlet 2011 and direct the air at the air outlet 2011 so that the air can be discharged in a suitable direction, improving the comfort of the air discharge of the wall-mounted air conditioner 100.

[0051] When the air deflector 1 is in the unlocked state, at least a part of the air deflector 1 can be disengaged from the air outlet 2011 to be adjusted to the lower part of the air conditioner body 20. At this time, the air deflector 1 is in the disassembly and assembly state. At least a part of the air deflector 1 is adapted to be disengaged from the air conditioner body 20 in the unlocked state and move to a position easily accessible by human hands below the air conditioner body 20. The staff can easily remove the air deflector 1 from the wall-mounted air conditioner 100 by touching at least a part of the air deflector 1 that is touched, and then can directly remove the air deflector 1 under the wall-mounted air conditioner 100 and disassemble and assemble the air deflector 1, avoiding the occurrence of high-altitude operation accidents and reducing the safety risk.

[0052] For the wall-mounted air conditioner 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention, the air deflector 1 of the wall-mounted air conditioner 100 can be adjusted to the lower part of the air conditioner body 20, and the staff can directly disassemble and assemble the air deflector 1 under the wall-mounted air conditioner 100, avoiding the occurrence of high-altitude operation accidents and reducing the safety risk.

[0053] According to some embodiments of the present invention, when the air deflector 1 is in the unlocked state, the first end of the air deflector 1 is separated from the air conditioner body 20. In this state, the air deflector 1 can rotate around the second direction.

[0054] That is to say, in this state of the air deflector 1, the first end of the air deflector 1 (such as Figure 1 the right end shown) is unlocked. At this time, the first end of the air deflector 1 is not restricted by the air conditioner body 20, and the first end of the air deflector 1 is a free end, enabling the air deflector 1 to rotate around the second direction.

[0055] It should be noted that the second direction here can be the direction perpendicular to the paper surface, that is, the first end of the air deflector 1 can rotate around the other end of the air deflector 1 that is not unlocked. At this time, the first end of the air deflector 1 can be separated from the air outlet 2011 and adjusted to below the air conditioner body 20, to a position easily accessible by the human hand below the air conditioner body 20. The staff can easily remove the air deflector 1 from the wall-mounted air conditioner 100 through the first end of the air deflector 1, that is, the air deflector 1 can be directly removed below the wall-mounted air conditioner 100, and the air deflector 1 can be disassembled and assembled, avoiding the occurrence of high-altitude operation accidents and reducing the safety risk.

[0056] As Figure 2 and Figure 4 shown, the air deflector assembly 10 includes a first motor 2. The first motor 2 is arranged on the air conditioner body 20, and the first motor 2 can drive the air deflector 1 to perform a rotational movement.

[0057] Specifically, when the air deflector 1 is in the unlocked state, the first motor 2 cooperates with the second end of the air deflector 1 (such as Figure 2 the left end shown), and the first motor 2 can drive the air deflector 1 to rotate around the second direction.

[0058] Wherein, the motor shaft of the first motor 2 is arranged along the second direction, and the first motor 2 cooperates with the second end of the air deflector 1, enabling the first end of the air deflector 1 to rotate around the axis direction of the motor shaft of the first motor 2 (i.e., the second direction).

[0059] Moreover, by setting the first motor 2, the wall-mounted air conditioner 100 can automatically adjust the position of the air deflector 1 without manual operation by the staff. The staff only needs to disassemble and assemble the air deflector 1 through the first end of the air deflector 1 that is easily accessible below the wall-mounted air conditioner 100, avoiding the occurrence of high-altitude operation accidents and reducing the safety risk.

[0060] Referring to Figure 2 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 8 and Figure 9, the air deflector assembly 10 further includes a first bracket 3. The first bracket 3 is disposed on the air conditioner body 20. The first bracket 3 cooperates with the air deflector 1. The first bracket 3 is swingable relative to the air conditioner body 20. When the first bracket 3 swings, it can drive the air deflector 1 to swing around the first direction.

[0061] That is to say, when the air deflector 1 is in the locked state, the first bracket 3 can swing around the first direction. Since the air deflector 1 is disposed on the first bracket 3, the first bracket 3 can drive the air deflector 1 to swing around the first direction together, so that the air deflector 1 can change the wind direction by swinging at the air outlet 2011 of the air conditioner body 20, or turn on the sweeping mode to discharge the air evenly.

[0062] Further, when the air deflector 1 is in the unlocked state, the first end of the air deflector 1 can be unlocked. At this time, the first end of the air deflector 1 is a free end and can rotate around the first motor 2. Since the first motor 2 is disposed on the first bracket 3, therefore, at this time, the first end of the air deflector 1 is adapted to rotate relative to the first bracket 3.

[0063] Among them, when the air deflector 1 is in the locked state, the first motor 2 is disposed on the first bracket 3, and the first motor 2 can swing with the first bracket 3. In other words, in this state of the air deflector 1, the first motor 2 does not work, and the first motor 2 can swing around the first direction together with the first bracket 3 and the air deflector 1. The setting of the first motor 2 does not affect the swinging movement of the air deflector 1.

[0064] When the air deflector 1 is in the unlocked state, the first bracket 3 is adapted to stop swinging around the first direction, the first motor 2 starts, and drives the air deflector 1 to make a rotational movement. Since the air deflector 1 realizes the swinging movement through the first bracket 3 and realizes the rotational movement through the first motor 2 located on the first bracket 3, therefore, the swinging movement and the rotational movement of the air deflector 1 do not affect each other.

[0065] As Figure 2 、 Figure 7 、 Figure 8 and Figure 9 shown, the air deflector assembly 10 further includes a second motor 4. The second motor 4 is disposed on the air conditioner body 20. The second motor 4 cooperates with the first bracket 3. When the air deflector 1 is in the locked state, the second motor 4 can drive the air deflector 1 to swing around the first direction.

[0066] That is to say, in this state of the air deflector 1, the first bracket 3 is adapted to swing around the first direction driven by the second motor 4, and, since the air deflector 1 is disposed on the first bracket 3, the second motor 4 can indirectly drive the air deflector 1 to swing around the first direction through the first bracket 3, so that the air deflector 1 can change the wind direction by swinging at the air outlet 2011 of the air conditioner body 20, or turn on the sweeping mode to discharge the air.

[0067] Further, when the air deflector 1 is in the unlocked state, the second motor 4 is adapted to stop operating so that the first motor 2 drives the air deflector 1 to perform a rotational movement.

[0068] It should be noted that since the second motor 4 indirectly drives the air deflector 1 to swing around the first direction through the first bracket 3, and the air deflector 1 realizes the rotational movement through the first motor 2 located on the first bracket 3, the swinging movement and the rotational movement of the air deflector 1 do not affect each other.

[0069] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the first direction and the second direction are perpendicular to each other, wherein the first direction is the extending direction of the air deflector 1 when the air deflector 1 is in the locked state, and the second direction is the direction perpendicular to the paper plane as shown in Figure 3 the figure.

[0070] Referring to Figure 2 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 , the first bracket 3 includes: a first bracket portion 31, the first bracket portion 31 is connected to the first motor 2, and the first bracket portion 31 can support the first motor 2, thereby facilitating the operation of the first motor 2. Moreover, during the swinging process of the first bracket 3, the first motor 2 as a whole swings with the first bracket 3, and during the operation of the first motor 2, there is no relative movement between the first bracket 3 and the first motor 2.

[0071] In some embodiments, the first bracket 3 further includes a second bracket portion 32, and the second bracket portion 32 is connected to the second motor 4. Specifically, the second bracket portion 32 is connected to the motor shaft of the second motor 4 so that the second motor 4 can drive the first bracket 3 to perform a swinging movement, and further facilitate the second motor 4 to drive the first bracket 3 to swing.

[0072] Wherein, the second bracket portion 32 is vertically arranged and connected to the first bracket portion 31 so that when the air deflector 1 is in the unlocked state, the air deflector 1 can rotate around the first motor 2 provided on the first bracket portion 31, that is, rotate around the second direction perpendicular to the first bracket portion 31, and when the air deflector 1 is in the locked state, the air deflector 1 can swing around the second motor 4 connected to the second bracket portion 32, that is, swing around the first direction perpendicular to the second bracket portion 32.

[0073] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the air deflector assembly 10 includes an unlocking structure 5, and the unlocking structure 5 can lock and unlock the air deflector 1, so that the air deflector 1 can freely switch between the unlocked state and the locked state.

[0074] Specifically, as shown in Figure 2 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 10As shown, the unlocking structure 5 is located at the first end of the wind deflector 1, and can unlock or lock the first end of the wind deflector 1. The unlocking structure 5 has a connecting portion, which is suitable for connecting to or separating from the wind deflector 1.

[0075] When the air guide plate 1 is in a locked state, the connecting portion cooperates with the first end of the air guide plate 1. In this state, both ends of the air guide plate 1 cooperate with the air conditioner body 20, that is, the air conditioner body 20 can support and fix the air guide plate 1 to ensure the stability of the setting of the air guide plate 1.

[0076] When the air guide plate 1 is in an unlocked state, the connecting portion is separable from the first end of the air guide plate 1. In this state, the first end of the air guide plate 1 is separated from the air conditioner body 20, so that the first end of the air guide plate 1 is not restricted by the air conditioner body 20. In this way, the air guide plate 1 can rotate about a second direction, so that the first end of the air guide plate 1 can move to a position below the air conditioner body 20 that is easy for the staff to reach. The staff can disassemble and assemble the air guide plate 1 through the first end of the air guide plate 1, thereby avoiding the occurrence of high-altitude operation accidents and reducing safety risks.

[0077] like Figure 2 and Figure 10 As shown, the unlocking structure 5 includes: a solenoid valve 52, and the solenoid valve 52 includes a telescopic rod 51. When the solenoid valve 52 is in a powered state, the telescopic rod 51 retracts, and when the solenoid valve 52 is in a powered-off state, the telescopic rod 51 extends. The connecting portion forms the telescopic rod 51, that is, the telescopic rod 51 is detachably matched with the first end of the air guide plate 1.

[0078] Specifically, when the air guide plate 1 is in a locked state, the solenoid valve 52 is de-energized, the telescopic rod 51 extends and cooperates with the air guide plate 1, and the telescopic rod 51 can support the air guide plate 1 to ensure that the air guide plate 1 can be stably set on the air conditioner body 20 and stably swing.

[0079] When the air guide plate 1 is in the unlocked state, the solenoid valve 52 is energized and the telescopic rod 51 retracts, so that the telescopic rod 51 is separated from the air guide plate 1. At this time, the first end of the air guide plate 1 is unlocked so that the air guide plate 1 can rotate around the second direction, thereby preventing the unlocking structure 5 from interfering with the rotational movement of the air guide plate 1.

[0080] In some embodiments, the air deflector assembly 10 further includes: a linkage 53 and a connecting shaft 54, the telescopic rod 51 is connected to the linkage 53, and the connecting shaft 54 ​​is connected to the linkage 53. In other words, the telescopic movement of the telescopic rod 51 can indirectly drive the connecting shaft 54 ​​to do telescopic movement through the linkage 53.

[0081] The connecting shaft 54 ​​is detachably matched with the first end of the air deflector 1 to unlock or lock the first end of the air deflector 1 .

[0082] Specifically, when the air deflector 1 is in the locked state, the solenoid valve 52 is de-energized, the telescopic rod 51 extends, and the telescopic rod 51 drives the connecting shaft 54 to extend through the linkage 53, so that the connecting shaft 54 cooperates with the first end of the air deflector 1. In this way, the connecting shaft 54 can support the first end of the air deflector 1, ensuring that the air deflector 1 can be stably arranged on the air conditioner body 20 and perform a stable swinging motion.

[0083] When the air deflector 1 is in the unlocked state, the solenoid valve 52 is energized, the telescopic rod 51 retracts, and the telescopic rod 51 drives the connecting shaft 54 to retract, separating the connecting shaft 54 from the first end of the air deflector 1 to unlock the first end of the air deflector 1, so that the air deflector 1 can rotate around the second direction, avoiding the unlocking structure 5 interfering with the rotational movement of the air deflector 1.

[0084] As Figure 5 shown, the linkage 53 has a limit hole 531, the peripheral wall of the connecting shaft 54 has a limit groove 541, the connecting shaft 54 passes through the limit hole 531, and the edge of the limit hole 531 cooperates with the limit groove 541. Since the limit groove 541 axially limits the linkage 53, when the linkage 53 makes a translational movement in the first direction, it can drive the connecting shaft 54 to make a telescopic movement, ensuring the reliability of the unlocking structure 5.

[0085] In addition, the edge of the limit hole 531 does not limit the rotation of the connecting shaft 54, enabling the connecting shaft 54 and the linkage 53 to achieve a rotational connection and avoiding the linkage 53 restricting the rotation of the connecting shaft 54. Among them, the limit groove 541 can form an annular groove, and the edge of the limit hole 531 has a clearance fit with the limit groove 541.

[0086] Referring to Figure 5 and Figure 6 , according to some embodiments of the present invention, the air deflector assembly 10 further includes a third motor 6, the third motor 6 is connected to the connecting shaft 54, and when the third motor 6 works, it can cooperate with the second motor 4 to synchronously drive the air deflector 1 to swing around the first direction, making the force on the air deflector 1 uniform and ensuring the stability of the swinging motion of the air deflector 1.

[0087] In some embodiments, the motor shaft of the third motor 6 and the connecting shaft 54 can be inserted and matched, and the connecting shaft 54 has a non-circular hole extending along its axial direction. The cross-sectional shape of the motor shaft of the third motor 6 is the same as the cross-sectional shape of the connecting shaft 54, thereby preventing the motor shaft of the third motor 6 from rotating relative to the connecting shaft 54 and ensuring that the third motor 6 can drive the connecting shaft 54 to rotate to drive the air deflector 1 to swing.

[0088] As Figures 7 - 9As shown, the air deflector assembly 10 further includes a connecting bracket 7. The connecting bracket 7 is disposed inside the air deflector 1. The connecting bracket 7 can support the air deflector 1, thereby improving the structural strength of the air deflector 1. Moreover, the first motor 2 is fixedly connected to the connecting bracket 7, which facilitates the connection between the first motor 2 and the air deflector 1, eliminating the need for additional machining of a connection structure on the air deflector 1 and reducing the difficulty of the machining process.

[0089] Specifically, when the first motor 2 operates, the first motor 2 can drive the connecting bracket 7 to rotate. When the connecting bracket 7 rotates, it can drive the air deflector 1 to rotate about the second direction.

[0090] Thus, the first motor 2 drives the air deflector 1 to rotate by driving the connecting bracket 7 to rotate. When disassembling and assembling the air deflector 1, it is only necessary to detach the air deflector 1 from the connecting bracket 7 or install the air deflector 1 on the connecting bracket 7 to complete the disassembly and assembly, without affecting the connection structure between the first motor 2 and the connecting bracket 7, thereby avoiding damage to the first motor 2 caused by frequent disassembly and assembly and further improving the reliability of the air deflector assembly 10.

[0091] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the air deflector 1 is snap-fitted and fixed to the connecting bracket 7. The structure is simple, without the need for additional fasteners, facilitating the installation and disassembly of the air deflector 1 and the connecting bracket 7.

[0092] Refer to Figure 11 , in this embodiment, the air deflector 1 has a buckle 11, and the connecting bracket 7 has a mounting opening 71. The buckle 11 is adapted to be snap-fitted and fixed to one side edge of the mounting opening 71. In some other embodiments, the connecting bracket 7 has a buckle 11, and the air deflector 1 has a mounting opening 71. The buckle 11 is adapted to be snap-fitted and fixed to one side edge of the mounting opening 71.

[0093] Specifically, when the air deflector 1 rotates about the second direction to a position easily accessible by hand, the staff can push the air deflector 1 in a certain direction to disengage the buckle 11 from one side edge of the mounting opening 71 and move the air deflector 1 outward to completely disengage the buckle 11 structure from the mounting opening 71, thereby completing the disassembly of the air deflector 1.

[0094] When installing the air deflector 1, the buckle 11 structure can be aligned with the mounting opening 71, the buckle 11 structure is passed through the mounting opening 71, and the air deflector 1 is pushed in the opposite direction to the disassembly and assembly to snap-fix the air deflector 1 to the connecting bracket 7, thereby facilitating the disassembly and installation of the air deflector 1.

[0095] Such as Figure 12As shown, in some embodiments, the air deflector assembly 10 further includes a magnet 12 and a magnetic member 72. The magnet 12 can be disposed on the air deflector 1, and the magnetic member 72 can be disposed on the connection bracket 7. The magnetic member 72 is adapted to cooperate with the magnet 12 so as to automatically position and fasten the air deflector 1 and the connection bracket 7 through the magnetic attraction between the magnet 12 and the magnetic member 72 during the installation process of the air deflector 1, making the air deflector 1 more stably disposed.

[0096] In other embodiments, the air deflector assembly 10 further includes a magnet 12 and a magnetic member 72. The magnet 12 can be disposed on the connection bracket 7, and the magnetic member 72 can be disposed on the air deflector 1. The magnetic member 72 is adapted to cooperate with the magnet 12 so as to automatically position and fasten the air deflector 1 and the connection bracket 7 through the magnetic attraction between the magnet 12 and the magnetic member 72 during the installation process of the air deflector 1, making the air deflector 1 more stably disposed.

[0097] Referring to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the air conditioner body 20 includes: a housing 201, and the housing 201 can protect the structures inside the air conditioner body 20. An air outlet 2011 is formed on the housing 201 so that the wall-mounted air conditioner 100 can exhaust air to the external environment through the air outlet 2011.

[0098] The air conditioner body 20 further includes two second brackets 202. The two second brackets 202 are disposed inside the housing 201 and are oppositely disposed. The air deflector assembly 10 can be fixed on the two second brackets 202 so as to mount the air deflector assembly 10 in front of the air outlet 2011.

[0099] As Figures 5 - 7 shown, the first motor 2, the second motor 4, the third motor 6, and the solenoid valve 52 can be respectively fixedly installed through fasteners.

[0111] Specifically, when the solenoid valve 52 is de-energized with the air deflector 1 in the locked state, the telescopic rod 51 extends, and the telescopic rod 51 engages with the air deflector 1. At this time, the two second brackets 202 can support both ends of the air deflector 1, and stably install the air deflector 1 at the air outlet.

[0112] Further, by starting the second motor 4, the second motor 4 drives the first bracket 3 to swing in the first direction, thereby driving the air deflector 1 to swing in the first direction, ensuring that the air deflector 1 can be stably arranged on the air conditioner body 20 and stably perform a swinging motion.

[0113] When the air deflector 1 is in the unlocked state and the solenoid valve 52 is energized, the telescopic rod 51 retracts, and the telescopic rod 51 disengages from the air deflector 1.

[0114] Further, by starting the first motor 2, the connecting bracket 7 can be driven to rotate, thereby driving the air deflector 1 to rotate in the second direction. For example, the right end of the air deflector 1 can be moved to a position below the air conditioner body 20 that is easy for the staff to reach. The staff can disassemble and assemble the air deflector 1 through the easily accessible right end of the air deflector 1, avoiding the occurrence of high-altitude operation accidents and reducing the safety risk.

[0115] Next, another specific embodiment of the wall-mounted air conditioner 100 will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0116] As Figure 1 shown, the wall-mounted air conditioner 100 includes: a housing 201, two second brackets 202, an evaporator, a fan assembly, and an air deflector assembly 10.

[0117] The housing 20 extends in the horizontal direction (such as Figure 1 the left-right direction shown), the front lower part of the housing 20 has an air outlet 2011, two second brackets 202 are provided inside the housing 201, one second bracket 202 is arranged on the left side inside the housing 201, and the other second bracket 202 is arranged on the right side inside the housing 201.

[0118] The air deflector assembly 10 is installed on the two second brackets 202 and is located at the air outlet 2011 to direct the air at the air outlet 2011 so that the air can be discharged in a suitable direction, improving the comfort of the air discharge of the wall-mounted air conditioner 100.

[0119] The air deflector assembly 10 includes: an air deflector 1, a first motor 2, a first bracket 3, a second motor 4, an unlocking structure 5, two connecting brackets 7, and a third motor 6.

[0120] The air deflector 1 extends in the horizontal direction. The connecting bracket 7 is arranged inside the air deflector 1, and the connecting bracket 7 is detachably clamped and matched with the air deflector 1. A buckle 11 is arranged on the inner side of the air deflector 1, and an installation opening 71 is arranged on the connecting bracket 7. The air deflector 1 is hung on the connecting bracket 7 through the cooperation of the buckle 11 and the installation opening 71. Further, a magnet 12 is arranged on the air deflector 1, and a magnetic member 72 is arranged on the connecting bracket 7. Through the cooperation of the magnet 12 and the magnetic member 72, the connection reliability between the connecting bracket 7 and the air deflector 1 is improved.

[0121] The first bracket 3 is arranged on the second bracket 202 on the left side. The first bracket 3 includes a first bracket part 31 and a second bracket part 32 that are vertically connected, and the second bracket part 32 is connected to the second bracket 202 on the left side.

[0122] The second motor 4 is arranged on the second bracket 202 on the left side. The motor shaft of the second motor 2 passes through the second bracket 202, and the motor shaft of the second motor 2 is matched with the second bracket part 32 of the first bracket 3. Specifically, the second motor 4 is fixed on the second bracket 202 on the left side through a fastener and is matched with the first bracket 3 for driving the air deflector 1 to swing around a first rotation axis extending in the left-right direction.

[0123] The first motor 2 is installed on the first bracket part 31 of the first bracket 3. The motor shaft of the first motor 2 passes through the first bracket part 31, and the motor shaft of the first motor 2 is connected to the second bracket 202. Specifically, the first motor 2 is fixed on the first bracket part 31 through a fastener, and the motor shaft of the first motor 2 is arranged along the second direction. The first motor 2 is matched with the left end of the air deflector 1 for driving the air deflector 1 to rotate around a second rotation axis extending in the front-back direction.

[0124] The unlocking structure 5 includes: a solenoid valve 52, a linkage member 53, and a connecting shaft 54. The solenoid valve 52 is fixed on the second bracket 202 on the right side through a fastener. One end of the linkage member 53 is connected to the telescopic rod 51 of the solenoid valve 52. The other end of the linkage member 53 has a limit hole 531. The peripheral wall of the connecting shaft 54 has a limit groove 541. The hole edge of the limit hole 531 is matched with the limit groove 541 so that the connecting shaft 54 and the linkage member 53 are rotatably connected together, and the connecting shaft 54 is detachably matched with the air deflector 1.

[0125] The third motor 6 is fixed on the second bracket 202 on the right side through fasteners. The third motor 6 is connected to the connecting shaft 54 so that it can drive the air deflector 1 to swing synchronously with the second motor 4, making the force on the air deflector 1 uniform and ensuring the stability of the swinging motion of the air deflector 1.

[0126] Specifically, when the solenoid valve 52 is de-energized in the locked state of the air deflector 1, the telescopic rod 51 extends. The telescopic rod 51 drives the linkage 53 to move towards the air deflector 1, and the linkage 53 drives the connecting shaft 54 to move synchronously, so that the connecting shaft 54 is engaged with the air deflector 1. At this time, the two second brackets 202 can support both ends of the air deflector 1, and the air deflector 1 is stably installed at the air outlet.

[0127] Furthermore, by starting the second motor 4, the second motor 4 drives the first bracket 3 to swing around the first direction, thereby driving the air deflector 1 to swing around the first direction, ensuring that the air deflector 1 can be stably arranged on the air conditioner body 20 and stably perform the swinging motion.

[0128] When the solenoid valve 52 is energized in the unlocked state of the air deflector 1, the telescopic rod 51 retracts.

[0129] Furthermore, by starting the first motor 2, the connecting bracket 7 can be driven to rotate, thereby driving the air deflector 1 to rotate around the second direction. For example, the right end of the air deflector 1 can be moved to a position below the air conditioner body 20 that is easy for the staff to reach. The staff can push the air deflector 1 upward to disengage the buckle 11 from the edge of the mounting opening 71, and move the air deflector 1 outward to disengage the buckle 11 structure from the mounting opening 71 to complete the disassembly of the air deflector 1. When installing the air deflector 1, only need to align the buckle 11 structure with the mounting opening 71, pass the buckle 11 structure through the mounting opening 71, and pull the air deflector 1 downward to snap and fix the air deflector 1 to the connecting bracket 7. Thus, it is more convenient for the disassembly and installation of the air deflector 1. The staff can disassemble and install the air deflector 1 through the right end of the air deflector 1 that is easy to reach, avoiding the occurrence of high-altitude operation accidents and reducing the safety risk.

[0130] When the air deflector 1 is in the locked state, the first motor 2 stops running. The overall structure composed of the first motor 2, the air deflector 1, the connecting bracket 7 and the first bracket 3 is adapted to swing around the first direction under the drive of the second motor 4 and the third motor 6. When the air deflector 1 is in the unlocked state, the second motor 4 stops running, the first bracket 3 remains stationary, and the first motor 2 is adapted to drive the overall structure formed by connecting the air deflector 1 and the connecting bracket 7 to rotate around the second direction.
