[0041] The display screen belongs to the I / O device of the computer, that is, the input and output device. It is a display tool that displays a certain electronic file on the screen through a specific transmission device and then reflects it into the human eye. In the related art, the display panel can only be displayed in accordance with the position at the time of installation. Therefore, when the user needs to use the display, the user can only be in the limited position of the display to normally view the image on the display. For example, when the user's position is higher or lower than the display screen, it is very difficult for the user to directly view the display screen, which brings unnecessary trouble to the user. Especially for a mobile air conditioner, since the position of the mobile air conditioner will change, and the positions of the air outlet, air supply port, etc. of the mobile air conditioner are relatively fixed. If the display screen is fixed, it may cause the display direction of the display screen to be different from the viewing direction or control direction required by the user. For example, the display screen is fixed to display information in the air outlet direction. When the user does not need to blow air but needs to view or control the display screen, it will cause discomfort. In addition, the mobile air conditioner can place the display screen on the top. The different distances between the mobile air conditioner and the user will cause the information on the display screen to be unable to be clearly and completely displayed.

[0042] To this end, the present invention provides an air conditioner 100. By arranging the display screen 2 in a rotatable form, the information display range of the display screen 2 can be increased, facilitating the viewing and control of the display screen 2, thereby facilitating the use of the air conditioner 100 and enhancing the user experience and the technological sense of the air conditioner 100.

[0043] The embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below. The examples of the embodiments are shown in the drawings, where the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements with the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the drawings are exemplary and are intended to explain the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0044] Combined with Figures 1 - 13 , the air conditioner 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention includes: a body 5, a bracket 1, a rotating member 3, a display screen 2, and a driving assembly. Among them, one end of the bracket 1 is connected to the body 5, and the other end is rotatably connected to the rotating member 3. The display screen 2 is rotatably connected to the rotating member 3 around a second rotation axis. The driving assembly is respectively connected to the bracket 1, the rotating member 3, and the display screen 2, and the driving assembly is used to drive the display screen 2 to rotate relative to the rotating member 3 and to drive the rotating member 3 to rotate relative to the bracket 1. Among them, the first rotation axis and the second rotation axis have an included angle of a predetermined angle.

[0045] For the air conditioner 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention, by arranging the bracket 1 on the body 5, the rotating member 3 is respectively connected to the bracket 1 and the display screen 2, and a driving assembly that can drive the display screen 2 to rotate relative to the rotating member 3 and drive the rotating member 3 to rotate relative to the bracket 1 is provided, the angle change of the display screen 2 can be realized, thereby enhancing the user experience of using the air conditioner 100, especially the experience of using the display screen 2 of the air conditioner 100 and the technological sense of the air conditioner 100.

[0046] In addition, in the present invention, the first rotation axis of the rotating member 3 and the second rotation axis of the display screen 2 are arranged in a non-parallel form. Therefore, the position of the display screen 2 can be adjusted in two different dimensions to further effectively increase the information display range of the display screen 2. Optionally, the first rotation axis and the second rotation axis are perpendicular to each other.

[0047] For example, as Figure 6As shown, in some specific examples of the present invention, a bracket 1 is provided on the body 5. At the position where the bracket 1 is connected to the body 5, there is a connecting foot 15. The connecting foot 15 has a through hole 105. A connecting member corresponding to the connecting foot 15 can be provided on the body 5. Between the connecting foot 15 and the connecting member, fixing members such as mounting screws can be used to fixedly connect the body 5 and the bracket 1. Multiple connecting feet 15 can be provided to improve the stability effect. The rotating member 3 is rotatably connected to the other end of the bracket 1 around the first rotation axis, and the display screen 2 is rotatably connected to the rotating member 3 around the second rotation axis. By providing the bracket 1 and the rotating member 3, the display screen 2 can be separated from the body 5 by a certain distance, providing space for the multi-angle rotation of the display screen 2. The driving assembly is respectively connected to the bracket 1, the rotating member 3, and the display screen 2. Therefore, when the driving assembly works, power can be transmitted to the connected rotating member 3 and the display screen 2. For example, the driving assembly drives the rotating member 3 to rotate, and the rotating member 3 is connected between the bracket 1 and the display screen 2. Therefore, the rotation of the rotating member 3 drives the display screen 2 to rotate, improving the flexibility of the display screen 2 during use.

[0048] Optionally, the rotation angle of the display screen 2 can be adjusted by setting buttons on the body 5, or the rotation direction and rotation angle can be adjusted through an external device, such as a remote control, to improve the convenience and intelligence of the air conditioner 100.

[0049] Optionally, the first rotation axis can be set perpendicular to the axis direction of the end of the bracket 1 (the end of the bracket 1 connecting the display screen), and the second rotation axis can be set perpendicular to the first rotation axis. Specifically, as Figure 8 shown, the bracket 1 can be set to include a first part and a second part. Among them, the first part extends in the up and down direction, the second part extends in the front and back direction, the lower end of the first part is connected to the body, the second part is connected to the upper end of the first part, and the second part extends forward and is connected to the display screen 2. Therefore, the first rotation axis is set perpendicular to the front and back direction. Referring to Figure 8 , the first rotation axis extends in the up and down direction, and the second rotation axis is set perpendicular to the first rotation axis.

[0050] Combined with Figures 1 - 13 , further, the rotating member 3 is in the shape of an annular rotating body, and the other end of the bracket 1 is configured as a hemispherical shell 11. The rotating member 3 is sleeved outside the other end of the bracket 1, and the first rotation axis is perpendicular to the central axis of the rotating member 3. That is to say, one end of the bracket 1 is connected to the body 5, the other end of the bracket 1 is configured as a hemispherical shell 11, and the rotating member 3 can be in the shape of a ring (see Figures 9 - 10 ), so the hemispherical shell 11 can be adapted to cooperate with the rotating member 3, and the hemispherical shape is conducive to the multi-angle rotation of the display screen 2. The display screen 2 can be more smooth during the rotation process, improving the comfort when using the display screen 2.

[0051] Combined withFigures 5 - 7 , further, the driving assembly includes: a first driving member 41 and a second driving member 42. The first driving member 41 is disposed within the hemispherical housing 11. The first driving member 41 drives the rotating member 3 to rotate relative to the bracket 1, and the first driving member 41 is connected to the rotating member 3. Specifically, the first driving member 41 includes a first driving shaft 411 and a first connecting ear 414 (see Figure 11 ), the first driving shaft 411 is used to provide driving force for the first driving member 41, and the first connecting ear 414 is used to fix the connection between the first driving member 41 and the hemispherical housing 11, making the first driving member 41 more stable. The first connecting ear 414 is connected to the hemispherical housing 11. A first positioning post 14 is provided on the inner surface of the hemispherical housing 11. The first driving member 41 is connected to the first positioning post 14 through the first connecting ear 414 to enhance the stability of the first driving member 41. For example, it can be fixedly connected by means of screw fastening or the like.

[0052] Further, the hemispherical housing 11 also has a first relief notch 101. The first relief notch 101 penetrates the hemispherical housing 11 along the direction of the first rotation axis of the hemispherical housing 11, that is, in the up-down direction or longitudinally. The first relief notch 101 is used to make way for the connection structure between the first driving member 41 and the rotating member 3. Therefore, the first relief notch 101 can be a semi-circular notch suitable for making way for the first driving shaft 411. The first driving shaft 411 of the first driving member 41 can be located at the position of the first relief notch 101. A connecting post 31 is provided on the inner surface of the rotating member 3. The connecting post 31 is rotatably embedded in the first relief notch 101, and the first driving member 41 is connected to the connecting post 31. The first driving shaft 411 can be fixedly connected to the connecting post 31 by means of insertion, so as to relatively fix the connecting post 31 and the first driving shaft 411 on the rotating member 3, thereby improving the stability of the first driving member 41 and improving energy efficiency.

[0053] When the first driving member 41 works, the first driving shaft 411 rotates to drive the rotating member 3 connected thereto, so that the display screen 2 can rotate in the movement direction of the first driving member 41. In addition, the first relief notch 101 can prevent the first driving member 41 from being obstructed by the hemispherical housing 11 when rotating, and expands the rotation range of the display screen 2.

[0054] The second driving member 42 is disposed inside the rotating member 3, and the second driving member 42 is connected to the display screen 2. The second driving member 42 drives the display screen 2 to rotate relative to the rotating member 3. Second positioning posts 32 are provided on the inner surface of the rotating member 3, and the second driving member 42 is connected to the second positioning posts 32. A second relief notch 102 penetrating the hemispherical housing 11 in the direction of the second rotation axis is formed on the hemispherical housing 11. The direction of the second rotation axis refers to the left - right direction in the figure. The second relief notch 102 extends circumferentially along the hemispherical housing 11 for relieving the second driving member 42. The second relief notch 102 can be set as a notch that is convex at both ends, concave in the middle and has a certain arc, which is suitable for relieving the second driving member 42 and can expand the rotation space of the second driving member 42. Optionally, the relief area of the second relief notch 102 can be larger than the relief area of the first relief notch 101 (see Figure 8 ). In addition, both ends of the second relief notch 102 along the circumferential direction of the hemispherical housing 11 can be configured to limit the rotation of the display screen around the second rotation axis.

[0055] Combined with Figure 4 , further, the driving assembly further includes: a connecting portion 43. The connecting portion 43 is connected to the second driving member 42. A flange 431 is provided at the end of the connecting portion 43. The flange 431 is disposed inside the rotating member 3, and the connecting member passes through the rotating member 3 and is connected to the display screen 2. An installation groove 21 and a fitting groove 22 are provided on the display screen 2. The end of the bracket 1 is rotatably embedded in the installation groove 21, and the connecting portion 43 is embedded in the fitting groove 22.

[0056] Specifically, the second driving member 42 has a second driving shaft 422 and second connecting lugs 424 (see Figure 12 ). The second driving shaft 422 provides the force for rotation. The second connecting lugs 424 are used to fix the second driving member 42. The second connecting lugs 424 corresponding to the second positioning posts 32 are connected and fixed by means of screws or the like.

[0057] Combined with Figure 5 and Figure 13The drive assembly also includes a connecting portion 43, which is composed of a flange 431, a connecting rod 432 and an axial hole 4320. The flange 431 is connected to the second drive shaft 422, and the connecting rod 432 is connected to the display screen 2 and fixed through the axial hole 4320. Optionally, the second drive shaft 422 can be matched with the flange 431 in a flat position. For example, a non-circular hole is provided on the flange 431, and the end of the first drive shaft 411 is provided in a shape that matches the non-circular hole on the flange 431, so that the flange 431 and the first drive shaft 411 can be relatively fixed, thereby improving the stability of the second drive member 42 and improving energy efficiency. The second drive shaft 422 is provided at the second clearance notch 102, and the inner side of the rotating member 3 has a mounting hole 301, and the connecting portion 43 can pass through the mounting hole 301. Specifically, the flange 431 is located on the inner side of the mounting hole 301, that is, the inner side of the rotating member 3, and the connecting rod 432 passes through the mounting hole 301 and is connected to the display screen 2. Therefore, the second driving member 42 and the display screen 2 are stably connected through the connecting portion 43 , so that the second driving member 42 drives the display screen 2 to rotate through the connecting member 43 .

[0058] Combination Figures 3 - 4 Optionally, the matching groove 22 on the display screen 2 has two positioning shafts 23, which are respectively located at the two ends, and the connecting part 43 has a shaft hole 4320, wherein the shaft holes 4320 located at the two ends of the connecting rod 432 can be installed on the positioning shaft 23 in cooperation with the positioning column, and the middle shaft hole 4320 is used to install screws and other fixing components, so that the connecting rod 432 can be connected to the display screen 2. In addition, the part where the shaft hole 4320 of the connecting part 43 is located can be embedded in the matching groove 22 to play a limiting effect. Among them, the shaft holes 4320 of the connecting part 43 can be 3 (or 2, 4, etc.) to improve stability.

[0059] When the second driving member 42 is working, the second driving shaft 422 rotates to drive the connecting portion 43 connected thereto to rotate, and the connecting rod 432 of the connecting portion 43 is fixedly connected to the display screen 2, so that the display screen 2 can move in the moving direction of the second driving member 42, that is, in the direction of the second rotation axis. In addition, the second clearance notch 102 can prevent the second driving member 42 from being hindered by the hemispherical shell 11 when rotating, thereby expanding the rotation range of the display screen 2.

[0060] Optionally, a plurality of the first driving member 41 and the second driving member 42 may be provided, or the first driving member 41 may be provided alone or only the second driving member 42 may be provided.

[0061] In addition, the bracket 1 and the mounting groove 21 and the connecting portion 43 and the matching groove 22 are respectively arranged in an embedded form, which can improve the stability of the device, and the back structure of the display screen 2 will not have too large a protrusion, thereby improving the overall aesthetics of the device.

[0062] CombinationFigures 5 - 7 , further, two first driving members 41 are oppositely arranged on the upper part of the first rotation axis inside the hemispherical housing 11, and the two first driving members 41 can be symmetrically arranged. In this way, when the first driving member 41 works, the first driving member 41 rotates left and right in the direction of the first rotation axis, driving the rotating member 3 to rotate left and right, and driving the display screen 2 to rotate left and right. Symmetrically arranging two first driving members 41 in the direction of the first rotation axis can increase the force when the display screen 2 rotates left and right, and can effectively improve the balance of the device.

[0063] Optionally, inside the rotating member 3, two second driving members 42 are oppositely arranged on the upper part of the second rotation axis, and the two second driving members 42 can also be symmetrically arranged. In this way, when the second driving member 42 works, the second driving member 42 rotates up and down in the direction of the second rotation axis, driving the rotating member 3 to rotate up and down, and driving the display screen 2 to rotate up and down. Therefore, symmetrically arranging two second driving members 42 in the direction of the second rotation axis can increase the force when the display screen 2 rotates up and down, and can effectively improve the balance of the device.

[0064] Combined with Figure 4 and Figure 8 , further, the first rotation axis and the second rotation axis are perpendicular to each other. The bracket 1 is in a hollow tubular shape, and the bracket 1 includes a first half part 11 and a second half part 12. The first half part 11 and the second half part 12 both extend along the extending direction of the bracket 1, and the first half part 11 and the second half part 12 are joined together to form the bracket 1. Ribs 13 are provided on the inner surface of at least one of the first half part 11 and the second half part 12, and the ribs 13 protrude from the circumferential edge of the at least one half part.

[0065] Specifically, the bracket 1 is formed by joining the first half part 11 and the second half part 12. The first half part 11 and the second half part 12 both extend along the extending direction of the bracket 1. Ribs 13 are provided on the inner surface of at least one of the first half part 11 and the second half part 12, and the ribs 13 protrude from the circumferential edge of the at least one half part. Multiple ribs 13 can be arranged at certain intervals along the inner wall edge of the half part. The ribs 13 can be vertical ribs 13 arranged in the extending direction of the bracket 1, or can be arranged as horizontal ribs 13 perpendicular to the extending direction of the bracket 1. The two types of ribs 13 are arranged at intervals. In addition, ribs 13 can also be provided in the direction of the first rotation axis of the hemispherical housing 11 to play a role in positioning the first driving member 41 and ensuring that the first driving member 41 does not come out during operation.

[0066] For example, ribs 13 are provided only on the first half 11, and ribs 13 are provided on both opposite sides of the first half 11. When the first half 11 and the second half 12 are snapped together, the portion of the first rib 13 extending beyond the edge of the first half 11 is snapped into the inside of the second half 12, thereby achieving pre-positioning between the first half 11 and the second half 12. Additionally, ribs 13 can also be provided only on the second half 12. Of course, ribs 13 can also be provided on both the first half 11 and the second half 12, and the ribs 13 on the first half 11 and the second half 12 are arranged in a staggered manner. In this way, when the first half 11 and the second half 12 are snapped together, the ribs 13 on the first half 11 are stuck on the second half 12, and the ribs 13 on the second half 12 are buckled on the first half 11.

[0067] Among them, when the first half 11 and the second half 12 are joined together, the ribs 13 can cooperate with each other for connection to improve the connection stability. In other words, the bracket 1 is composed of left and right halves. Therefore, ribs 13 can be provided on the inner surface of the halves of the bracket 1 to connect the two halves of the bracket 1, so that the first half 11 and the second half 12 can be connected by a snap-fit method to fix the first half 11 and the second half 12, or screw connection can also be selected. After the bracket 1 is assembled, it is connected to the rotating member 3, thereby improving the overall structural strength and stability of the device and facilitating processing or maintenance.

[0068] The bracket 1 can be set as a tubular hollow structure. The strength of the hollow tubular material is concentrated on the side walls far from the center, which is beneficial to reducing weight and increasing strength, thereby improving the stability of the display screen 2. Additionally, the hollow structure can reduce the material cost and the overall weight of the device without changing the strength, and can also facilitate the placement of the connection wire harness of the body 5 and the display screen 2.

[0069] Furthermore, the air conditioner 100 is a floor-standing air conditioner or a mobile air conditioner. The bracket 1 is connected to the top of the body 5, and the bracket 1 is configured in a shape that extends upward first and then forward. The lower end of the bracket 1 is connected to the body 5, and the display screen 2 is connected to the front part of the upper end of the bracket 1, improving the overall aesthetics and practicality of the air conditioner 100.
