[0002] At present, the air supply mechanism of the air conditioner is generally composed of a fan blade, a motor, a housing, an air inlet component and an air outlet component. When the air supply mechanism is working, the fan blade rotates, and the air flow passes through the air inlet component, the fan blade and the air outlet component. Figure 1 As shown, the up and down air outlet directions and angles of the air conditioner are adjusted by the up and down swinging of the air guide plate 4. When the air guide plate 4 changes the air outlet direction, it is bound to reduce the air volume of the air conditioner, reduce the fan performance, and further reduce the energy efficiency of the air conditioner. When the air guide plate 4 is located at different angles, the impact on the air volume is different. When the air guide plate 4 is at the top or bottom, the air volume is reduced the most. In addition, the up and down wind sweeping angle range of the air guide plate 4 is small and cannot meet the user's use requirements. At the same time, large vortices are easily generated near the air outlet component, resulting in large aerodynamic noise, which affects people's comfort. For this reason, an air supply mechanism is proposed in the prior art. The air duct of the air supply mechanism can be rotatably arranged, which can realize large-angle rotation air supply without attenuation of the air volume, and can effectively reduce aerodynamic noise.

[0003] However, the above-mentioned air supply mechanism also has certain problems. In order to ensure that the air duct can rotate, the air duct needs to be separated from the shell during design, but the gap between them will cause air leakage and backflow, resulting in a reduction in the air volume at the air outlet, thereby reducing the energy efficiency of the air conditioner, and accompanied by the generation of noise, which cannot meet the user's usage requirements.
