[0052] <Air deflector device>

[0053] like Figure 1a and Figure 1b As shown, the present embodiment provides an air deflector device, which includes an air deflector and a driving mechanism; the air deflector includes an intermediate air deflector 13, a first air deflector 11, and a second air deflector 12, the first air deflector 11 is slidably connected to one end of the intermediate air deflector 13, and the second air deflector 12 is slidably connected to the other end of the intermediate air deflector 13; specifically, along the width direction of the intermediate air deflector 13, two ends of the intermediate air deflector 13 are respectively formed with a first slide groove and a second slide groove, one end of the first air deflector 11 is clamped in the first slide groove, and one end of the second air deflector 12 is clamped in the second slide groove; the first air deflector 11 slides relative to the intermediate air deflector 13 along the first slide groove, and / or the second air deflector 12 slides relative to the intermediate air deflector 13 along the second slide groove, thereby changing the size of the air deflector;

[0054] The driving mechanism includes a first driving mechanism 21 and a second driving mechanism 22 which are sequentially arranged along the width direction of the middle air guide plate 13; the first driving mechanism 21 is drivingly connected to the first air guide plate 11, and the second driving mechanism 22 is drivingly connected to the second air guide plate 12; specifically, when the first driving mechanism 21 is in operation, the first air guide plate 11 slides along the first sliding groove relative to the middle air guide plate 13, and when the second driving mechanism 22 is in operation, the second air guide plate 12 slides along the second sliding groove relative to the middle air guide plate 13;

[0055] The first driving mechanism 21 and the second driving mechanism 22 can be controlled to operate synchronously, so that the first air guide plate 11, the middle air guide plate 13 and the second air guide plate 12 move as a whole. At this time, the first air guide plate 11 and the second air guide plate 12 do not slide relative to the middle air guide plate 13, so the overall size of the air guide plate remains unchanged, and the air guide plate device can realize simultaneous upper and lower air supply;

[0056] The first driving mechanism 21 and the second driving mechanism 22 can be controlled to operate separately. When the first driving mechanism 21 drives the first air guide plate 11 to slide in a direction away from the middle air guide plate 13, the overall size of the air guide plate increases, and the air guide plate device can realize upward air supply; when the second driving mechanism 22 drives the second air guide plate 12 to slide in a direction away from the middle air guide plate 13, the overall size of the air guide plate increases, and the air guide plate device can realize downward air supply;

[0057] In summary, the wind guide plate device of the present invention divides the wind guide plates into a middle wind guide plate 13, a first wind guide plate 11 and a second wind guide plate 12. The first wind guide plate 11 and the second wind guide plate 12 can both slide relative to the middle wind guide plate 13. By adjusting the overall size of the wind guide plates, the wind guide range and the wind guide distance of the wind guide plates can be adjusted. The first wind guide plate 11 and the second wind guide plate 12 can be independently controlled to move. By adjusting the movement distance of the first wind guide plate 11 and the second wind guide plate 12, the exhaust volume of the wind guide plate device and the wind guide angle of the wind guide plates can be adjusted. The structure is simple and compact, the space occupied is small, the space utilization rate is high, the spatial layout of the wind guide plate device is optimized, and the operation of the wind guide plates is stable and reliable.

[0058] It should be noted that the sliding connection mode of the first air guide plate 11 and the middle air guide plate 13 and the sliding connection mode of the second air guide plate 12 and the middle air guide plate 13 are not limited, and can be set according to actual needs.

[0061] Specifically, the first limiting portion is a limiting groove, and the second limiting portion is a limiting protrusion. When the first air guide plate 11 moves to the end of the first slide groove in a direction away from the middle air guide plate 13, the limiting groove cooperates with the limiting protrusion to prevent the first air guide plate 11 from being separated from the middle air guide plate 13.

[0062] The third limiting portion is a limiting groove, and the fourth limiting portion is a limiting protrusion. When the second air guide plate 12 moves to the end of the second slide groove in a direction away from the middle air guide plate 13, the limiting groove cooperates with the limiting protrusion to prevent the second air guide plate 12 from separating from the middle air guide plate 13.

By adjusting the movement distance of the first air guide plate 11 and the second air guide plate 12, the exhaust volume of the air guide device can be adjusted, and then the air guiding distance and range of the air guide device can be adjusted;

[0080] like Figure 4a , Figure 4b and Figure 4c As shown, when the air conditioner 4 supplies air upward, the first driving mechanism 21 drives the first air guide plate 11 to move, and at the same time, the second driving mechanism 22 drives the second air guide plate 12 to move, so that the distance between the first air guide plate 11 and the air outlet 411 is greater than the distance between the second air guide plate 12 and the air outlet 411; the first air guide plate 11 slides in a direction away from the middle air guide plate 13, so that a third air outlet is formed between the upper side of the first air guide plate 11 and the bottom shell 41, and the second air guide plate 12 is close to the bottom shell 41, so that no air outlet is formed between the second air guide plate 12 and the bottom shell 41;

[0081] When the air conditioner 4 is running, the wind discharged from the air outlet 411 is discharged from the third air outlet along the middle air guide plate 13 and the first air guide plate 11, thereby realizing upward air supply. By adjusting the movement distance of the first air guide plate 11, the exhaust volume of the air guide plate device can be adjusted, and then the air guiding distance and range of the air guide device can be adjusted.

[0083] When the air conditioner 4 is running, the wind discharged from the air outlet 411 is discharged from the fourth air outlet along the middle air guide plate 13 and the second air guide plate 12, thereby achieving downward air supply. By adjusting the movement distance of the second air guide plate 12, the exhaust volume of the air guide plate device can be adjusted, and then the air guiding distance and range of the air guide device can be adjusted.
