[0043] The technical solution of the present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and through specific implementation methods.

[0044] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides an air conditioner, comprising an upper panel 100 and an air deflector 200. The upper panel 100 and the air deflector 200 are connected by a fixing structure for the air deflector of the air conditioner. The air deflector 200 is disposed in a mounting groove 101 of the upper panel 100, and a drive assembly 300 is capable of driving the air deflector 200 to rotate relative to the upper panel 100.

[0045] The driving assembly 300 includes a connecting shaft 302 and a motor 301 . One end of the connecting shaft 302 is fixedly connected to the motor 301 , and the other end is connected to the air deflector 200 . The motor 301 drives the air deflector 200 to rotate via the connecting shaft 302 .

[0046] Motor 301 is secured to the outside of mounting slot 101 via a motor mount. The motor mount comprises two support bases and a support plate. Lugs are provided on opposite sides of motor 301, each with a connection hole. The support bases are provided with threaded holes. A connecting bolt passes through the connection hole in one of the lugs and is screwed into the corresponding threaded hole in the support base. The support plate is positioned between the two support bases, with its upper end abutting against the side of motor 301 to ensure stable mounting of motor 301.

[0047] like Figure 2-Figure 4As shown, this embodiment also provides a fixing structure for an air deflector of an air conditioner, comprising a first latch assembly 400 and a second latch assembly 500. The first latch assembly 400 comprises a first latch 1, a first sleeve 2, and a first elastic member 3. The first sleeve 2 is fixed to one end of the air deflector 200, the first latch 1 is disposed within the first sleeve 2, and the first elastic member 3 is disposed between the first sleeve 2 and the first latch 1. A first insertion hole 102 is provided at one end of a mounting slot 101, and the first latch 1 is inserted into the first insertion hole 102 under the action of the first elastic member 3. The second latch assembly 500 comprises a second latch 4, a second sleeve 5, and a second elastic member 6. The second sleeve 5 is fixed to the other end of the air deflector 200, the second latch 4 is disposed within the second sleeve 5, and the second elastic member 6 is disposed between the second sleeve 5 and the second latch 4. A second insertion hole 103 is provided at the other end of the mounting slot 101, and the second latch 4 is inserted into the second insertion hole 103 under the action of the second elastic member 6 to be plugged into the drive assembly 300.

[0048] The fixing structure of the air guide plate of the air conditioner provided in this embodiment is that the two ends of the air guide plate 200 are connected to the upper panel 100 respectively through the first latch assembly 400 and the second latch assembly 500. When the air guide plate 200 is assembled with the upper panel 100, the first latch 1 is first pulled out in the direction away from the first insertion hole 102 to compress the first elastic member 3 so that the first latch 1 is located in the first sleeve 2; the second latch 4 is pulled out in the direction away from the second insertion hole 103 to compress the second elastic member 6 so that the second latch 4 is located in the second sleeve 5; then the air guide plate 200 is placed in the installation groove 101 of the upper panel 100, and then the first latch 1 and the second latch 4 are released. The first latch 1 extends into the first insertion hole 102 under the action of the elastic restoring force of the first elastic member 3; the second latch 4 extends into the second insertion hole 103 under the action of the elastic restoring force of the second elastic member 6 and is plugged into the driving assembly 300, so that the air guide plate 200 can rotate relative to the upper panel 100 under the drive of the driving assembly 300. To disassemble, the air deflector 200 only needs to be rotated relative to the upper panel 100. The user then inserts their hand through the air outlet and pulls the first latch 1 and the second latch 4 toward each other, causing the first latch 1 to retract into the first sleeve 2 and the second latch 4 to retract into the second sleeve 5. The air deflector 200 can then be removed from the mounting slot 101 of the upper panel 100. In an air conditioner employing this air deflector fixing structure, the air deflector 200 can be disassembled and assembled simply by pulling the first latch 1 and the second latch 4 toward each other, simplifying the operation and improving assembly and disassembly efficiency.

[0049] The first elastic member 3 and the second elastic member 6 are both springs.

[0050] As an optional solution for the fixing structure of the air guide plate of the air conditioner, a first stepped hole is provided in the first sleeve 2, and the first stepped hole includes a first inner hole 211 and a second inner hole 212. The diameter of the first inner hole 211 is smaller than the diameter of the second inner hole 212. The first inner hole 211 is provided at the end of the second inner hole 212 away from the first plug hole 102. A first shoulder 11 is provided on the outer periphery of the first pin 1, and one end of the first elastic member 3 abuts against the end of the second inner hole 212 close to the first inner hole 211, and the other end of the first elastic member 3 abuts against the first shoulder 11. A second stepped hole is provided in the second sleeve 5, and the second stepped hole includes a third inner hole 511 and a fourth inner hole 512. The diameter of the third inner hole 511 is smaller than the diameter of the fourth inner hole 512. The third inner hole 511 is provided at the end of the fourth inner hole 512 away from the second plug hole 103. A second shoulder 41 is provided on the outer periphery of the second latch 4. One end of the second elastic member 6 abuts against the end of the fourth inner hole 512 close to the third inner hole 511, and the other end of the second elastic member 6 abuts against the second shoulder 41.

[0051] When removing or assembling the air deflector 200, the first latch 1 is pulled away from the first insertion hole 102. The first elastic member 3 is compressed by the first shoulder 11, allowing the first latch 1 to retract into the first sleeve 2, thereby disconnecting the first latch 1 from one end of the mounting slot 101. Similarly, the second latch 4 is pulled away from the second insertion hole 103. The second elastic member 6 is compressed by the second shoulder 41, allowing the second latch 4 to retract into the second sleeve 5, thereby disconnecting the second latch 4 from the other end of the mounting slot 101. This allows the air deflector 200 to be installed or removed from the mounting slot 101, thus completing the assembly and disassembly of the air deflector 200.

[0052] As an optional solution for the fixing structure of the air guide plate of the air conditioner, the fixing structure of the air guide plate of the air conditioner also includes a first limiting component and a second limiting component. The first limiting component cooperates with the first latch component 400 to limit the insertion depth of the first latch 1 and the first socket 102; the second limiting component cooperates with the second latch component 500 to limit the insertion depth of the second latch 4 and the drive component 300.

[0053] The operator grabs the first latch 1 through the first limiting assembly and pulls the first latch 1 away from the first insertion hole 102. The operator grabs the second latch 4 through the second limiting assembly and pulls the second latch 4 away from the second insertion hole 103, making it easier to disassemble and assemble the air deflector 200.

[0054] As an optional solution for the fixing structure of the air guide plate of the air conditioner, the first limiting assembly includes a first limiting screw 7, which includes a first limiting head 71 and a first stud 72. The first latch 1 is provided with a first threaded hole 12, and the first stud 72 is screwed into the first threaded hole 12. The diameter of the first limiting head 71 is larger than the diameter of the first inner hole 211, and the first limiting head 71 abuts the end surface of the first inner hole 211 away from the second inner hole 212. The second limiting assembly includes a second limiting screw 8, which includes a second limiting head 81 and a second stud 82. The second latch 4 is provided with a second threaded hole 42, and the second stud 82 is screwed into the second threaded hole 42. The diameter of the second limiting head 81 is larger than the diameter of the third inner hole 511, and the second limiting head 81 abuts the end surface of the third inner hole 511 away from the fourth inner hole 512.

[0055] The first stop screw 7 is fixed to the non-connected end between the first latch pin 1 and the first insertion hole 102 by threading the first stud 72 into the first threaded hole 12, allowing an operator to grasp the first stop head 71 to remove the first latch pin 1. The second stop screw 8 is fixed to the non-connected end between the second latch pin 4 and the second insertion hole 103 by threading the second stud 82 into the second threaded hole 42, allowing an operator to grasp the second stop head 81 to remove the second latch pin 4.

[0056] In this embodiment, four first limiting posts are circumferentially spaced apart on the end surface of the first inner hole 211 away from the second inner hole 212, and all four first limiting posts abut against the first limiting head 71. Four second limiting posts are circumferentially spaced apart on the end surface of the third inner hole 511 away from the fourth inner hole 512, and all four second limiting posts abut against the second limiting head 81.

[0057] In another optional embodiment of the present invention, the first limiting assembly includes a first limiting rod, which is arranged perpendicular to the axis of the first latch pin 1 and fixedly connected to the end of the first latch pin 1 not connected to the first socket 102, and the first limiting rod is used to remove the first latch pin 1. The second limiting assembly includes a second limiting rod, which is arranged perpendicular to the axis of the second latch pin 4 and fixedly connected to the end of the second latch pin 4 not connected to the second socket 103, and the second limiting rod is used to remove the second latch pin 4.

[0058] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the second pin 4 is inserted into the second socket 103 and engaged with the connecting shaft 302, so that the motor 301 drives the connecting shaft 302 to rotate, and the connecting shaft 302 drives the air guide plate 200 to rotate, so that the air guide plate 200 is away from the position of the air outlet to achieve smooth air outlet.

[0059] As an alternative solution for securing the air deflector of an air conditioner, a first insertion hole 43 is provided at the end of the second latch 4, away from the second threaded hole 42. A connecting shaft 302 engages with the first insertion hole 43. Once the connecting shaft 302 is engaged with the first insertion hole 43, the motor 301 drives the air deflector 200 via the connecting shaft 302. To remove the air deflector 200, the second latch 4 is pulled away from the second insertion hole 103. This releases the second latch 4 from the connecting shaft 302, allowing it to retract into the second sleeve 5.

[0060] A second insertion hole is provided at one end of the connecting shaft 302. The second insertion hole forms an interference fit with the main shaft of the motor 301, thereby achieving a fixed connection between the motor 301 and the connecting shaft 302. The outer diameter of the end of the connecting shaft 302 provided with the second insertion hole is larger than the outer diameter of the end of the connecting shaft 302 that is inserted into the second latch 4, and is also larger than the outer diameter of the second latch 4, thereby limiting the maximum insertion depth of the second latch 4 and the connecting shaft 302.

[0061] Preferably, a third shoulder is further provided on the outer periphery of the connecting shaft 302 , and the third shoulder is plug-fitted with the second plug hole 103 .

[0062] As an optional solution for the fixing structure of the air guide plate of the air conditioner, the connecting shaft 302 is an anti-rotation shaft, and the first plug hole 43 cooperates with the anti-rotation shaft to prevent the connecting shaft 302 from rotating relative to the second pin 4.

[0063] The anti-rotation shaft includes two planes and two arcuate surfaces, the planes and the arcuate surfaces are arranged adjacent to each other, the two planes are arranged opposite to each other, and the two arcuate surfaces are arranged opposite to each other. The shape of the first plug hole 43 is adapted to the outer peripheral surface of the anti-rotation shaft.

[0064] Of course, in other embodiments, the connecting shaft 302 may also be configured as a hexagonal prism, which can also prevent the connecting shaft 302 from rotating relative to the second latch 4 .

[0065] The connecting shaft 302 is made of insulating material to prevent electrical conduction and to avoid electric shock to the operator when the motor 301 leaks electricity.

[0066] like Figures 6-10As shown, as an optional solution for the fixing structure of the air deflector of the air conditioner, the first sleeve 2 includes a first cylinder 21 and a first fixing cover 22. One end of the first cylinder 21 is provided with a first flange, and one end of the air deflector 200 is provided with a first through hole 201. The first cylinder 21 passes through the first through hole 201, and the first flange abuts against the air deflector 200. The first fixing cover 22 abuts against the side of the first flange away from the air deflector 200 and is then fixedly connected to the air deflector 200. The second sleeve 5 includes a second cylinder 51 and a second fixing cover 52. One end of the second cylinder 51 is provided with a second flange, and the other end of the air deflector 200 is provided with a second through hole 202. The second cylinder 51 passes through the second through hole 202, and the second flange abuts against the air deflector 200. The second fixing cover 52 abuts against the side of the second flange away from the air deflector 200 and is then fixedly connected to the air deflector 200.

[0067] To secure the first sleeve 2 and the second sleeve 5 and facilitate installation of the first elastic member 3 and the second elastic member 6, the first sleeve 2 and the second sleeve 5 are configured as separate structures. The first cylindrical body 21 is first inserted through the first through-hole 201, and the first latch 1, which is fitted with the first elastic member 3, is then sequentially inserted into the second inner hole 212 and the first inner hole 211. A first center hole is provided at the center of the first fixing cover 22.
