Detailed implementation manners

[0074] The embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below. The examples of the embodiments are shown in the drawings, in which the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions from beginning to end. The embodiments described below with reference to the drawings are exemplary only for explaining the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0075] Reference will be made below to Figures 1 - 40 Describe the air conditioner 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0076] As Figures 1 - 40As shown in the figure, the air conditioner 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: an air outlet frame 1, a wind guiding device 10, a rotation driving device 3, and a movement driving device 4. An air outlet passage 2 is provided in the air outlet frame 1. The wind guiding device 10 is arranged in the air outlet passage 2, and the wind guiding device 10 can rotate relative to the air outlet passage 2. The wind guiding device 10 includes a rotation assembly 20 and a louver assembly 30. In Figure 9 the up and down direction shown, both ends (i.e., the upper end and the lower end) of the rotation assembly 20 are rotatably arranged on the air outlet frame 1. The louver assembly 30 includes a plurality of louvers 31 and a connecting rod 32. A plurality of louvers 31 are all arranged on the rotation assembly 20, and a plurality of louvers 31 can all rotate relative to the rotation assembly 20. The plurality of louvers 31 are rotatably connected to the connecting rod 32.

[0077] The rotation driving device 3 is arranged on the air outlet frame 1, and the rotation driving device 3 is arranged on one side of the wind guiding device 10. The rotation driving device 3 is connected to the rotation assembly 20. The rotation driving device 3 can drive the rotation assembly 20 to rotate so as to drive the wind guiding device 10 to rotate in the air outlet passage 2. The movement driving device 4 is also arranged on the air outlet frame 1 and is arranged on the other side of the wind guiding device 10. The movement driving device 4 is connected to the connecting rod 32. The movement driving device 4 can drive the connecting rod 32 to move in Figure 9 the up and down direction shown, and when the connecting rod 32 moves in Figure 9 the up and down direction shown, it can drive a plurality of louvers 31 to rotate relative to the rotation assembly 20. It should be noted that one side of the wind guiding device 10 refers to one of the upper side and the lower side of the wind guiding device 10, and the other side of the wind guiding device 10 refers to the other of the upper side and the lower side of the wind guiding device 10.

[0078] Optionally, in Figure 9 the up and down direction shown, the rotation driving device 3 can be arranged on the upper side or the lower side of the wind guiding device 10. When the rotation driving device 3 is arranged on the upper side of the wind guiding device 10, the movement driving device 4 is arranged on the lower side of the wind guiding device 10. When the rotation driving device 3 is arranged on the lower side of the wind guiding device 10, the movement driving device 4 is arranged on the upper side of the wind guiding device 10.

[0079] Specifically, the rotation driving device 3 can be configured as a rotation driving motor. The rotation driving device 3 can drive the rotation assembly 20 to rotate so as to drive the wind guiding device 10 to rotate in the air outlet passage 2. When the wind guiding device 10 rotates in the air outlet passage 2, it can change the direction of the air sent into the room from the air outlet passage 2, so that the function of the air conditioner 100 for left and right sweeping of the wind can be realized. Further, the movement driving device 4 can be configured as a movement driving motor. The movement driving device 4 can drive the connecting rod 32 to move in Figure 9 the up and down direction shown, and when the connecting rod 32 moves in Figure 9When moving in the up and down directions as shown, it can drive the rotation of multiple louvers 31. When the multiple louvers 31 rotate, it can change the direction of the air sent into the room from the air outlet passage 2, so that the function of the air conditioner 100 to sweep the air up and down can be realized.

[0080] In the prior art, the air outlet of the floor-standing air conditioner uses air guide strips to guide the air to realize the air sweeping function of the air conditioner. This air guiding structure cannot provide a comfortable user experience, resulting in poor user comfort. Moreover, the aesthetics of this air guiding structure is poor, which will reduce the subjective evaluation of the user on the air conditioner.

[0081] In this application, by arranging a rotatable rotating assembly 20 and a louver assembly 30 in the air outlet passage 2, when the rotating assembly 20 rotates, it can drive the air guiding device 10 to rotate to realize the function of the air conditioner 100 to sweep the air left and right. When the multiple louvers 31 of the louver assembly 30 rotate, the function of the air conditioner 100 to sweep the air up and down can be realized. Compared with the prior art, in this application, the air is guided by the rotating assembly 20 and the louver assembly 30, which can disperse the air and blow out air without a sense of wind, providing a comfortable user experience. Moreover, when the air guiding device 10 rotates to avoid the air outlet passage 2, the air conditioner 100 blows out air with a sense of wind, meeting the different usage needs of users. At the same time, by respectively arranging the rotation driving device and the movement driving device on both sides of the air guiding device 10, the layout space inside the air conditioner 100 can be reasonably utilized, and the layout positions of the rotation driving device and the movement driving device can be reasonable.

[0082] Therefore, through the cooperation of the air guiding device 10, the rotation driving device and the movement driving device, the air conditioner 100 can blow out air with or without a sense of wind, improving the user comfort. Moreover, by respectively arranging the rotation driving device and the movement driving device on both sides of the air guiding device 10, the layout space inside the air conditioner 100 can be reasonably utilized, and the layout positions of the rotation driving device and the movement driving device can be reasonable.

[0083] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figures 1 - 6As shown, a switch door 6 can be provided on the outer side of the air outlet frame 1. The switch door 6 can be movable relative to the air outlet frame 1. The switch door 6 can be used to open or close the air outlet frame 1 to open or close the air outlet passage 2. That is, when the switch door 6 is closed, the switch door 6 blocks the air outlet passage 2. When the switch door 6 is open, the switch door 6 does not block the air outlet passage 2. Moreover, when the switch door 6 is opened, the air guiding device 10 can be exposed, and when the switch door 6 is closed, the air guiding device 10 can be blocked. When the user needs to use the air conditioner 100, the switch door 6 can be opened. After the switch door 6 is opened, the air generated by the air conditioner 100 can be sent into the room through the air outlet passage 2. When the user does not need to use the air conditioner 100, the switch door 6 can be closed to prevent dust, mosquitoes, etc. from entering the interior of the air conditioner 100 through the air outlet passage 2, so as to ensure that the air conditioner 100 can generate clean and hygienic air when working.

[0084] Optionally, the air conditioner 100 of the present application may include: a panel, a top cover 9, a bottom plate 11, a rear box body component 12, a fresh air purification component 14, and an evaporator component 13. Among them, the panel may include an upper panel 7 and a lower panel 8. The upper panel 7 can display information such as the wind speed, temperature, and mode when the air conditioner is working. The top cover 9 can be provided at the upper end of the air conditioner 100. The bottom plate 11 can be provided at the lower end of the air conditioner 100. The rear box body component 12 can be provided at the rear side of the air conditioner 100, and the rear box body component 12 can be provided on the other side opposite to the panel. The evaporator component 13 and the fresh air purification component 14 can be provided inside the air conditioner 100, and the fresh air purification component 14 can be provided below the evaporator component 13. Moreover, air outlet passages 2 can be provided on both the left and right sides of the air conditioner 100, and an air guiding device 10 can be provided in each air outlet passage 2.

[0085] In some embodiments of the present invention, as Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 9 and Figure 13 shown, the air outlet passage 2 can be arranged to extend along the height direction of the air outlet frame 1, or it can be understood that the air outlet passage 2 can extend along the Figure 9 up and down direction shown. Moreover, the moving driving device 4 can be provided at the top end of the air guiding device 10. Specifically, when the moving driving device 4 is provided at the top end of the air guiding device 10, the rotating driving device 3 can be provided at the lower end of the air guiding device 10.

[0086] It should be noted that the space at the lower end of the air guiding device 10 is small, while the space at the upper end of the air guiding device 10 is large. The rotation driving device 3 has a relatively small volume, and the movement driving device 4 has a relatively large volume. By arranging the movement driving device 4 at the upper end of the air guiding device 10 and arranging the rotation driving device 3 at the lower end of the air guiding device 10, it is convenient to arrange the rotation driving device 3 and the movement driving device 4. Moreover, the installation space inside the air conditioner 100 can be reasonably utilized, so that it is convenient to arrange other components of the air conditioner 100. In addition, the structure of the air conditioner 100 can be made more compact.

[0087] As some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 15 shown, the movement driving device 4 may include: a first housing 15, a second housing 16, a gear 17, a motor shaft, and a reversing shaft 18. Among them, the first housing 15 and the second housing 16 can be closed to form a cavity. The gear 17 can be arranged in the cavity. The motor shaft of the movement driving device 4 can be connected to the gear 17. The movement driving device 4 can drive the gear 17 to rotate through the motor shaft. The gear 17 can be meshed with the reversing shaft 18, and an annular external thread 19 can be arranged on the reversing shaft 18.

[0088] Specifically, the gear 17 can be in meshing transmission with the annular external thread 19 on the reversing shaft 18. The reversing shaft 18 can be connected to the connecting rod 32. The reversing shaft 18 can drive the connecting rod 32 to move in the Figure 9 shown up and down direction. Such a setting can convert the rotational motion output by the movement driving device 4 into a linear reciprocating motion, so that the movement driving device 4 can drive the connecting rod 32 to move, and further, the effect of driving a plurality of louvers 31 to rotate through the movement driving device 4 can be achieved.

[0089] Furthermore, the first housing 15 and the second housing 16 can form a sealed cavity. A partial structure of the reversing shaft 18 can be arranged in the cavity. Preferably, the structure with a thread on the reversing shaft 18 and the gear 17 can be arranged in the cavity. Lubricating oil can be arranged in the cavity. Such a setting can prevent dust from affecting the meshing of the gear 17 and the reversing shaft 18, and can also reduce the friction between the gear 17 and the reversing shaft 18, thereby improving the service life of the movement driving device 4.

[0090] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 13 and Figure 14 shown, the rotation driving device 3 can be connected to the rotation assembly 20 through the connection assembly 40. The rotation driving device 3 can drive the connection assembly 40 to rotate to drive the rotation assembly 20 to rotate. Specifically, the connection assembly 40 can include an installation and positioning structure 42 and a connecting member 41.

[0091] Among them, the connecting member 41 can be connected to the rotation driving device 3, and the installation and positioning structure 42 can be arranged on the rotating assembly 20. Moreover, the connecting member 41 has an unlocking position and a locking position. When the connecting member 41 is in the locking position, the rotation driving device 3 can be connected to the connecting member 41. And when the connecting member 41 is in the locking position, the connecting member 41 can be installed and positioned with the rotating assembly 20 by cooperating with the installation and positioning structure 42. At this time, the rotation driving device 3 can drive the rotating assembly 20 to rotate around the rotation axis of the rotating assembly 20 through the driving connection assembly 40. When the rotation driving device 3 drives the rotating assembly 20 to rotate around the rotation axis of the rotating assembly 20, the left and right air-sweeping function of the air conditioner 100 can be realized.

[0092] When the connecting member 41 is in the unlocking position, the rotation driving device 3 can be separated from the connecting member 41. And when the connecting member 41 is in the unlocking position, the connecting member 41 can be installed and limited with the rotating assembly 20 by cooperating with the installation and positioning structure 42. At this time, the rotation driving device 3 cannot drive the rotating assembly 20 to rotate around the rotation axis of the rotating assembly 20 through the driving connection assembly 40. Such a setting can facilitate the user to separate the rotation driving device 3 from the connection assembly 40.

[0093] In some embodiments of the present invention, as Figure 14 、 Figures 16 - 21 shown, the connecting member 41 can include a positioning portion 44 and a connecting portion 43, wherein the rotation driving device 3 can be connected to the connecting portion 43.

[0094] When the connection assembly 40 is in the unlocking position, the positioning portion 44 can be installed and limited with the installation and positioning structure 42. When the connecting member 41 is in the locking position, the positioning portion 44 can be installed and positioned with the installation and positioning structure 42. Such a setting can enable the connecting member 41 to be always installed on the rotating assembly 20, thereby facilitating the user to connect or separate the connecting member 41 from the rotation driving device 3. And it can also prevent the connecting member 41 from being lost when the connecting member 41 is separated from the rotation driving device 3.

[0095] Furthermore, as Figure 14 、 Figures 16 - 21 shown, a handle structure 45 can be arranged at one end of the positioning portion 44 away from the connecting portion 43. Among them, the handle structure 45 can include a horizontal plate 46 and a vertical plate 47. One end of the horizontal plate 46 can be connected to one end of the positioning portion 44 away from the connecting portion 43. The other end of the horizontal plate 46 can be connected to one end of the vertical plate 47. The other end of the vertical plate 47 can extend in a direction away from the horizontal plate 46.

[0096] Preferably, the horizontal plate 46 and the vertical plate 47 can be vertically arranged, that is, the included angle between the horizontal plate 46 and the vertical plate 47 is 90°, and the user can pull the buckle structure 45 to switch the connecting member 41 between the unlocking position and the locking position.

[0097] Specifically, in Figure 14 the up-down direction shown, the user can pull up the buckle structure 45 to switch the connecting member 41 from the locking position to the unlocking position, and the user can press down the buckle structure 45 to switch the connecting member 41 from the unlocking position to the locking position. Such a setting can facilitate the switching of the connecting member 41 between the locking position and the unlocking position, thereby improving the assembly efficiency of the air conditioner 100 and reducing the assembly difficulty of the air conditioner 100.

[0098] In some embodiments of the present invention, as Figure 14 、 Figures 16 - 21 shown, the rotating assembly 20 can be provided with a mounting hole 55, wherein the extending direction of the mounting hole 55 can be parallel to the rotation axis of the rotating assembly 20. The extending direction of the rotation axis of the rotating assembly 20 is the first direction. It can also be understood that the first direction is parallel to the rotation axis direction of the rotating assembly 20. The mounting hole 55 can be formed by machining. Among them, the connecting portion 43 can be arranged in the mounting hole 55, and the connecting portion 43 can be inserted into or pulled out of the mounting hole 55. Such a setting can facilitate the installation of the connecting member 41 on the rotating assembly 20, thereby improving the installation efficiency of the connecting member 41 and reducing the installation difficulty of the connecting member 41.

[0099] Further, a connecting hole can be provided at the lower end of the connecting portion 43, and the driving shaft 48 of the rotation driving device 3 can be inserted into the connecting hole at the lower end of the connecting portion 43 to drive the connecting portion 43 to rotate. Furthermore, an anti-electricity shaft 49 can be sleeved outside the driving shaft 48 of the rotation driving device 3, and the anti-electricity shaft 49 can be inserted into the connecting hole at the lower end of the connecting portion 43.

[0100] Preferably, the cross-section of the connecting hole at the lower end of the connecting portion 43 can be configured as a hexagon, and the cross-section of the anti-electricity shaft 49 can also be configured as a hexagon. Such a setting can prevent the anti-electricity shaft 49 from rotating relative to the connecting portion 43, thereby improving the driving efficiency of the rotation driving device 3, and can prevent the air conditioner 100 from being damaged due to the leakage of the rotation driving device 3, and can also prevent safety accidents due to the leakage of the rotation driving device 3.

[0101] In some embodiments of the present invention, as Figure 14 、 Figures 16 - 21 shown, the installation and positioning structure 42 can include a first locking structure 50. The first locking structure 50 can be arranged on both sides of the positioning portion 44 in the second direction. The second direction is Figure 19The left - right direction shown, and first mating portions 51 can be provided on both sides of the positioning portion 44. The first mating portions 51 can cooperate with the first locking structure 50. After the first mating portions 51 cooperate with the first locking structure 50, the movement of the positioning portion 44 in the first direction and the second direction can be limited.

[0102] Among them, the first direction is perpendicular to the second direction. Such a setting can limit the movement of the connecting member 41 in the first direction and the second direction through the cooperation of the first mating portion 51 and the first locking structure 50, thereby avoiding damage to the connecting member 41 and / or the rotating assembly 20 due to relative displacement between the connecting member 41 and the rotating assembly 20 during transportation or use, and further ensuring the reliability of the air conditioner 100 in use.

[0103] In some embodiments of the present invention, as Figure 14 、 Figures 16 - 21 shown, the first locking structure 50 can be configured as an elastic hook. The elastic hook can cooperate with the positioning portion 44. Specifically, the elastic hook can cooperate with the first mating portions 51 on both sides of the positioning portion 44. After the elastic hook cooperates with the first mating portions 51, the movement of the positioning portion 44 in the third direction can be limited. The third direction is Figure 18 the front - back direction shown. When the connecting member 41 is in the locked position, the elastic hook can be located on the side of the first mating portion 51 away from the connecting portion 43. It can also be understood that the elastic hook can be located on the side of the protrusion on the first mating portion 51 away from the connecting portion 43. Among them, the third direction can be perpendicular to the second direction and the first direction. Such a setting can limit the displacement of the positioning portion 44 in the first direction, the third direction, and the second direction, thereby further avoiding damage to the connecting member 41 and / or the rotating assembly 20 due to relative displacement between the connecting member 41 and the rotating assembly 20 during transportation or use, and further ensuring the reliability of the air conditioner 100 in use.

[0104] In some embodiments of the present invention, as Figure 14 、 Figures 16 - 21 shown, the installation and positioning structure 42 can further include a second locking structure 52, and a second mating portion 53 cooperating with the second locking structure 52 can be provided on the positioning portion 44. Specifically, the second mating portion 53 can be provided on the side of the positioning portion 44 facing the rotating assembly 20. When the connecting member 41 is in the unlocked position, the cooperation of the second mating portion 53 and the second locking structure 52 can limit the displacement of the positioning portion 44 in the third direction, where the third direction can be perpendicular to the second direction and the first direction. Such a setting can prevent the connecting member 41 from separating from the rotating assembly 20 when the connecting member 41 is in the unlocked position, thereby avoiding the loss of the connecting member 41 when the rotating assembly 20 is disassembled.

[0105] In some embodiments of the present invention, asFigure 14 , Figures 16 - 21 As shown in Figures 16 - 21 , a locking groove 54 may be provided on the second engaging portion 53. When the connecting member 41 is in the unlocking position, at least part of the second locking structure 52 may be located within the locking groove 54. When the connecting member 41 is in the locking position, the second locking structure 52 is not located within the locking groove 54.

[0106] Specifically, in the Figure 14 vertical direction shown in Figure 14 , when the user pulls up the trigger structure 45 to switch the connecting member 41 from the locking position to the unlocking position, at least part of the second locking structure 52 may extend into the locking groove 54, thereby restricting the displacement of the positioning portion 44 in the third direction, and further preventing the connecting member 41 from separating from the rotating assembly 20, and avoiding the loss of the connecting member 41 when disassembling the rotating assembly 20.

[0107] Moreover, in the Figure 14 vertical direction shown in Figure 14 , when the user presses down the trigger structure 45 to switch the connecting member 41 from the unlocking position to the locking position, at least part of the second locking structure 52 moves out of the locking groove 54. Such a setting facilitates the user to connect the connecting member 41 to the rotational driving device 3, thereby improving the assembly efficiency of the air conditioner 100 and reducing the assembly difficulty of the air conditioner 100.

[0108] In addition, such a setting can easily mount the connecting member 41 on the rotating assembly 20, thereby further improving the assembly efficiency of the air conditioner 100 and further reducing the assembly difficulty of the air conditioner 100.

[0109] As some embodiments of the present invention, as Figures 16 - 19 shown in Figures 16 - 19 , the connecting portion 43 may include a connecting column 56 and a first limiting stop 57. The first limiting stop 57 is formed on the outer peripheral wall of the connecting column 56. For example, in the vertical direction of the air conditioner 100, the first limiting stop 57 may be formed at the top of the connecting column 56. The first limiting stop 57 may extend circumferentially along the connecting column 56 and is annular. The bottom of the positioning portion 44 may be connected to the first limiting stop 57.

[0110] Moreover, a second limiting stop 58 may be formed on the inner peripheral wall of the mounting hole 55. The second limiting stop 58 may extend circumferentially along the mounting hole 55 and is annular. When the connecting column 56 of the connecting member 41 is fitted into the mounting hole 55, the first limiting stop 57 and the second limiting stop 58 may abut in the first direction, and the first limiting stop 57 may be located on the side adjacent to the positioning portion 44 of the second limiting stop 58.

[0111] Further, the positioning portion 44 may be in a flat plate shape, and the second engaging portion 53 may be in a U shape with an opening facing upward. Thus, while ensuring a relatively high structural strength of the positioning portion 44, the positioning portion 44 can have a good elastic deformation ability; the second locking structure 52 may be formed as a convex block, thus making the structure of the second locking structure 52 simple and convenient for processing and forming.

[0112] Preferably, an elastic opening 59 may be formed on the positioning portion 44, thereby further increasing the elastic deformation ability of the positioning portion 44.

[0113] Furthermore, reinforcing ribs 94 may be formed on the positioning portion 44. The reinforcing ribs 94 may extend to the connecting portion 43, and the reinforcing ribs 94 may be connected to the connecting portion 43. While strengthening the structural strength of the positioning portion 44, the reinforcing ribs 94 can increase the connection strength between the positioning portion 44 and the connecting portion 43, thereby improving the overall structural strength of the connecting member 41.

[0114] In some embodiments of the present invention, as Figure 9 、 Figure 10 、 Figures 22 - 29 shown, the support member 60 may be disposed in the air outlet passage 2, the support member 60 may be disposed on the air outlet frame 1, a mating groove 61 may be provided on the support member 60, and a mating member 62 that mates with the support member 60 may be provided on the air guiding device 10. In the direction of the rotation axis of the air guiding device 10, the mating member 62 may be disposed between the upper end and the lower end of the air guiding device 10. Preferably, in Figure 9 the up-down direction shown, the mating member 62 may be disposed at the middle position of the air guiding device 10. In addition, the number of the support members 60 may be set to be multiple, and the number of the mating members 62 may be the same as the number of the support members 60, and the mating members 62 and the support members 60 are arranged in one-to-one correspondence.

[0115] For example, the number of the support members 60 may be set to two. When the number of the support members 60 is two, the number of the mating members 62 is also two. Both of the two support members 60 may be disposed in the air outlet passage 2, and both of the two mating members 62 may be disposed between the upper end and the lower end of the air guiding device 10.

[0116] Specifically, the mating member 62 may include a stopping portion 63 and a rotating portion 64. Among them, the rotating portion 64 may be in rotational cooperation with the mating groove 61, that is, the rotating portion 64 may rotate relative to the mating groove 61 within the mating groove 61. The stopping portion 63 may be disposed outside the mating groove 61 in the axial direction, and the stopping portion 63 may be in stopping contact with the support member 60 to limit the displacement of the air guiding device 10 in the axial direction.

[0117] It should be noted that after the support member in the prior art is engaged with the mating groove, only the radial movement of the air deflector can be restricted, and the axial movement of the air deflector cannot be restricted. However, in the present application, by engaging the support member 60 with the mating groove 61, the radial movement and the axial movement of the air guiding device 10 can be restricted simultaneously, so that during the transportation and use of the air conditioner 100, the air guiding device 10 can be prevented from separating from the air outlet frame 1 due to a large displacement of the air guiding device 10 in the axial direction.

[0118] For example, during transportation, the air conditioner 100 may be transported upside down. When the air conditioner 100 is placed upside down, the abutting portion 63 can be in abutting contact with the support member 60 to restrict the displacement of the air guiding device 10 in the axial direction, so that the air guiding device 10 can be prevented from separating from the air outlet frame 1. Moreover, by providing the fitting member 62 at the middle position of the air guiding device 10, deformation of the middle position of the air guiding device 10 can be avoided, thereby improving the service life of the air guiding device 10.

[0119] Preferably, the outer surface of the rotating portion 64 can be configured as an arc surface, and the inner surface of the mating groove 61 opposite to the outer surface of the rotating portion 64 can also be configured as an arc surface. Such a setting can make the rotational fit between the rotating portion 64 and the mating groove 61 smooth and smooth, and can prevent the rotating portion 64 from being stuck with the mating groove 61, thereby improving the use reliability of the air conditioner 100.

[0120] In some embodiments of the present invention, as Figure 9 、 Figure 10 、 Figures 22 - 29 shown, the air outlet 5 of the air conditioner 100 can be extended and arranged in the up and down direction as Figure 9 shown, the rotation axis of the air guiding device 10 can be extended in the up and down direction as Figure 9 shown, the air generated by the air conditioner 100 can enter the room through the air outlet 5 after passing through the air guiding device 10. Moreover, the abutting portion 63 can be provided below the mating groove 61. When the air guiding device 10 moves upward, the abutting portion 63 can be in abutting cooperation with the bottom of the mating groove 61 to restrict the upward axial movement of the air guiding device 10, so that the air guiding device 10 can be prevented from separating from the air outlet frame 1 due to an excessive upward displacement of the air guiding device 10.

[0121] Furthermore, a convex height portion 67 can be provided on the inner wall of the mating groove 61. When the air conditioner 100 is closed, the abutting portion 63 can abut against the convex height portion 67 in the height direction of the air conditioner 100, and the convex height portion 67 can restrict the displacement of the air guiding device 10 in the axial direction. Such a setting can further prevent the air guiding device 10 from separating from the air outlet frame 1 due to an excessive upward displacement of the air guiding device 10.

[0122] In some embodiments of the present invention, as Figure 9 、Figure 10 , Figures 22 - 29 As shown in Figures 22 - 29 , an assembly port 65 may be provided on the peripheral wall of the mating groove 61. The mating member 62 may further include a connecting portion 66. One end of the connecting portion 66 may be connected to the rotating portion 64, and the other end of the connecting portion 66 may be connected to the abutting portion 63. Moreover, the width of the assembly port 65 is adapted to the width of the connecting portion 66, and the connecting portion 66 may pass through the assembly port 65 to assemble and mate the mating member 62 with the mating groove 61.

[0123] Further, in the height direction of the air conditioner 100, the projected area of the connecting portion 66 may be located within the projected area of the rotating portion 64, that is, the projected area of the connecting portion 66 is smaller than the projected area of the rotating portion 64. Such a setting can facilitate the assembly and mating of the mating member 62 with the mating groove 61, thereby facilitating the installation of the air guiding device 10 in the air outlet passage 2 and improving the installation efficiency of the air guiding device 10.

[0124] Preferably, the outer surface of the connecting portion 66 may also be configured as an arc surface. Such a setting can more conveniently assemble and mate the mating member 62 with the mating groove 61, thereby more conveniently installing the air guiding device 10 in the air outlet passage 2 and further improving the installation efficiency of the air guiding device 10.

[0125] In some embodiments of the present invention, as Figure 9 , Figure 20 , Figures 30 - 32 shown, the rotating assembly 20 may include a first air guiding plate 70 and a second air guiding plate 71. Among them, ventilation holes 72 may be provided on the first air guiding plate 70, and the number of the ventilation holes 72 may be multiple. Diffusing micropores 73 may be provided on the second air guiding plate 71, and the number of the diffusing micropores 73 may also be multiple. Moreover, the second air guiding plate 71 and the first air guiding plate 70 may be connected to form a ventilation cavity. The louver assembly 30 may be provided on the first air guiding plate 70. Specifically, the first air guiding plate 70 may be provided on the side of the second air guiding plate 71 close to the connecting rod 32, and the louver assembly 30 may be provided on the side of the first air guiding plate 70 away from the second air guiding plate 71. The air flow generated by the air conditioner 100 may be sent into the room through the ventilation holes 72, the ventilation cavity, and the diffusing micropores 73 in sequence. The ventilation holes 72, the ventilation cavity, and the diffusing micropores 73 may guide the air flow, thereby reducing the aerodynamic loss of the air flow.

[0126] Optionally, the shape of the ventilation holes 72 may be square, circular, hexagonal, etc., and the shape of the diffusing micropores 73 may also be square, circular, hexagonal, etc. The present invention does not make specific limitations.

[0127] In some embodiments of the present invention, as Figure 9 , Figure 10 , Figure 13 ,Figure 30 , Figures 33 - 36 As shown in Figures 33 - 36 , the air conditioner 100 may further include a wind dispersing member 74. The wind dispersing member 74 may be disposed at the ventilation hole 72, or at least part of the structure of the wind dispersing member 74 may be disposed in the ventilation cavity. Among them, the wind dispersing member 74 can rotate, and when the wind dispersing member 74 rotates, it can disperse the air flow passing through the wind dispersing member 74. Such a setting can improve the comfort of the wind feeling blown by the air conditioner 100 (no wind feeling), provide a comfortable user experience for the user, and thus improve the user's comfort.

[0128] Among them, the air conditioner 100 may have but is not limited to two working modes: a no-wind-feeling working mode and a normal air supply working mode. When the air conditioner 100 is in the no-wind-feeling working mode, the air flow generated by the air conditioner 100 can sequentially pass through the ventilation hole 72, the ventilation cavity, the wind dispersing member 74, and the wind dispersing micropores 73 and then be sent into the room. At this time, the air guiding device 10 can intercept and disperse the air flow generated by the air conditioner 100, and the air flow can blow the wind dispersing member 74 to make the wind dispersing member 74 rotate. When the wind dispersing member 74 rotates, it can disperse the air flow, thereby avoiding the direct blowing of the strong and straight air flow onto the user and providing a comfortable user experience for the user.

[0129] When the air conditioner 100 is in the normal air supply working mode, the air flow generated by the air conditioner 100 only passes through the louver assembly 30 and then is sent into the room, that is, the air flow generated by the air conditioner 100 does not pass through the wind dispersing member 74. Such a setting can enable the air conditioner 100 to switch between multiple working modes, and the user can freely select the working mode of the air conditioner 100 according to the usage requirements, thereby realizing the diversification of the functions of the air conditioner 100.

[0130] Furthermore, the number of the wind dispersing members 74 can be set to be multiple, and the multiple wind dispersing members 74 can be evenly spaced in the Figure 1 vertical direction as shown. Preferably, the number of the wind dispersing members 74 can be the same as the number of the louvers 31, and the wind dispersing members 74 can be arranged in one-to-one correspondence with the louvers 31. Such a setting can improve the wind dispersing effect of the air conditioner 100.

[0131] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 9 , Figure 10 , Figure 13 , Figure 30 , Figures 33 - 36As shown in the figure, the air-dispersing member 74 may include: a mounting portion 75, an annular support member 78, an external support member 79, and a plurality of air guide bar groups 76. Each air guide bar group 76 may include a plurality of air guide bars 77. The plurality of air guide bars 77 may be evenly spaced in the circumferential direction of the air-dispersing member 74. Moreover, the plurality of air guide bar groups 76 may be arranged in the radial direction of the air-dispersing member 74. Among them, in the radial direction of the air-dispersing member 74, the annular support member 78 may be disposed between two adjacent air guide bar groups 76, and the external support member 79 may be disposed outside the outermost air guide bar group 76.

[0132] Specifically, in the radial direction of the air-dispersing member 74, one end of the plurality of air guide bars 77 of the innermost air guide bar group 76 may be connected to the mounting portion 75, and the other end of the plurality of air guide bars 77 of the innermost air guide bar group 76 may be connected to the annular support member 78. One end of the plurality of air guide bars 77 of the outermost air guide bar group 76 may be connected to the annular support member 78, and the other end of the plurality of air guide bars 77 of the outermost air guide bar group 76 may be connected to the external support member 79. When the number of annular support members 78 is multiple, it can also be understood that when the number of air guide bar groups 76 is three or more, both ends of the plurality of air guide bars 77 located between two annular support members 78 may be respectively connected to the two annular support members 78.

[0133] As an embodiment of the present invention, the air-dispersing member 74 may include: two air guide bar groups 76, one annular support member 78, one mounting portion 75, and one external support member 79. The two air guide bar groups 76 may be a first air guide bar group 80 and a second air guide bar group 81. Specifically, in the radial direction of the air-dispersing member 74, the first air guide bar group 80 may be disposed inside the second air guide bar group 81. Both the first air guide bar group 80 and the second air guide bar group 81 may include a plurality of air guide bars 77. One end of the plurality of air guide bars 77 of the first air guide bar group 80 may be connected to the mounting portion 75, and the other end of the plurality of air guide bars 77 of the first air guide bar group 80 may be connected to the annular support member 78. One end of the plurality of air guide bars 77 of the second air guide bar group 81 may be connected to the annular support member 78, and the other end of the plurality of air guide bars 77 of the second air guide bar group 81 may be connected to the external support member 79. However, the present invention is not limited thereto. According to actual needs, the air-dispersing member 74 may also be arranged in other structural forms.

[0134] Thus, through the cooperation of the mounting portion 75, the plurality of air guide bar groups 76, the annular support member 78, and the external support member 79, the airflow passing through the air-dispersing member 74 can be dispersed, thereby improving the comfort of the wind sense blown out by the air conditioner 100, providing a comfortable use experience for users, and thus improving the user's use comfort. Moreover, by providing the annular support member 78 and the external support member 79, the structural strength of the air-dispersing member 74 can be improved, thereby improving the use reliability of the air-dispersing member 74.

[0135] As some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 9 , Figure 10 , Figure 13 , Figure 30 , Figures 33 - 36 shown, in the axial direction of the air-diffusing member 74, the air-guiding strips 77 of each air-guiding strip group 76 can be inclined, and the windward surfaces of the radially outer ends of the plurality of air-guiding strips 77 of at least one air-guiding strip group 76 among the plurality of air-guiding strip groups 76 and the windward surfaces of their radially inner ends can be arranged in a staggered manner. It can also be understood that in the Figure 9 shown up and down direction, the projections of the radially outer ends of the plurality of air-guiding strips 77 of at least one air-guiding strip group 76 and the projections of their radially inner ends may not coincide or may not completely coincide. Such a setting can make the air-guiding strips 77 have a certain angle with the flow direction of the air flow, which can improve the air-guiding effect of the air-diffusing member 74, thereby providing a comfortable use experience for the user, and further improving the user's use comfort.

[0136] As some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 9 , Figure 10 , Figure 13 , Figure 30 , Figures 33 - 36 shown, the windward surfaces of the radially outer ends of the plurality of air-guiding strips 77 can be located upstream of the windward surfaces of the radially inner ends of the plurality of air-guiding strips 77. Specifically, it can also be understood that the windward surfaces of the radially outer ends of the plurality of air-guiding strips 77 can be closer to the first air-guiding plate 70 than the windward surfaces of the radially inner ends of the plurality of air-guiding strips 77. Such a setting can further improve the air-guiding effect of the air-diffusing member 74, and can also better disperse the air, thereby providing a more comfortable use experience for the user, and further improving the user's use comfort.

[0137] As some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 35 and Figure 36 shown, in the axial direction of the air-diffusing member 74, the windward surface of the annular support member 78 can be located upstream of the oncoming wind of the outer support member 79. It can also be understood that the oncoming wind of the outer support member 79 can be closer to the first air-guiding plate 70 than the windward surface of the annular support member 78. And, in the radial direction of the air-diffusing member 74, the windward surfaces of the plurality of air-guiding strips 77 of the innermost air-guiding strip group 76 can be located upstream of the windward sides of the plurality of air-guiding strips 77 of the outermost air-guiding strip group 76. It can also be understood that the windward sides of the plurality of air-guiding strips 77 of the outermost air-guiding strip group 76 can be closer to the second air-guiding plate 71 than the windward surfaces of the plurality of air-guiding strips 77 of the innermost air-guiding strip group 76.

[0138] Among them, the airflow generated by the air conditioner 100 can flow from upstream to downstream, that is, the upstream is closer to the inner side of the air conditioner 100. Moreover, the windward surface of the second air deflector 71 is located downstream of the windward surface of the first air deflector 70. Such a setting can make the air guiding strip 77 have a certain angle with the flowing direction of the airflow, which can improve the air guiding effect of the air diffusing member 74, thereby providing a more comfortable use experience for the user, and further improving the user's use comfort.

[0139] Further, when the number of the annular support members 78 is multiple, in the axial direction of the air diffusing member 74, the windward surface of the annular support member 78 arranged on the radially inner side of the air diffusing member 74 can be located upstream of the windward surface of the annular support member 78 arranged on the radially outer side of the air diffusing member 74. It can also be understood that the windward surface of the annular support member 78 arranged on the radially outer side of the air diffusing member 74 can be closer to the second air deflector 71 than the windward surface of the annular support member 78 arranged on the radially inner side of the air diffusing member 74.

[0140] In some embodiments of the present invention, in the airflow flowing direction, the annular support member 78 can have a first leeward surface and a first windward surface, wherein the first leeward surface and the first windward surface can be arranged oppositely. Specifically, in the Figure 35 up and down direction shown, the first windward surface can be located upstream of the first leeward surface. It can also be understood that the first windward surface is closer to the first air deflector 70 than the first leeward surface.

[0141] Further, the external support member 79 can have a second leeward surface and a second windward surface, and the second leeward surface and the second windward surface can be arranged oppositely. Moreover, in the Figure 35 up and down direction shown, the second windward surface can be located upstream of the second leeward surface. It can also be understood that the second windward surface is closer to the first air deflector 70 than the second leeward surface.

[0142] Furthermore, the first windward surface of the annular support member 78 and the second windward surface of the external support member 79 are arranged in a staggered manner. It can also be understood that in the height direction of the air conditioner 100, the projection of the first windward surface does not coincide or does not completely coincide with the projection of the second windward surface. Such a setting can further improve the air guiding effect of the air diffusing member 74.

[0143] In some embodiments of the present invention, in the airflow flowing direction, the mounting portion 75 can have a third leeward surface and a third windward surface, wherein the third leeward surface and the third windward surface can be arranged oppositely. Specifically, in the Figure 35 up and down direction shown, the third windward surface can be located upstream of the third leeward surface. It can also be understood that the third windward surface is closer to the first air deflector 70 than the third leeward surface.

[0144] Further, the second windward surface of the external support member 79 and the third windward surface of the mounting portion 75 are located in the same plane. It can also be understood that in the height direction of the air conditioner 100, the projection of the second windward surface coincides with the projection of the third windward surface. Such a setting can further improve the air guiding effect of the air dispersing member 74, thereby providing a more comfortable user experience for the user, and further improving the user's comfort.

[0145] As some embodiments of the present invention, as Figures 30 - 40 shown, a clamping hole 82 may be provided at the central axis position of the mounting portion 75 of the air dispersing member 74. A clamping member 83 may be provided at one end of each of the plurality of louvers 31 close to the first air guiding plate 70. One end of the clamping member 83 may be connected to the louver 31, and the other end of the clamping member 83 may extend away from the louver 31. The clamping member 83 may be in clamping cooperation with the clamping hole 82. The louver 31 may be assembled with the air dispersing member 74 through the clamping member 83. Further, the clamping member 83 may pass through the first air guiding plate 70 and be in clamping cooperation with the clamping hole 82. Such a setting can facilitate clamping the louver 31 and the air dispersing member 74 together, enable the plurality of louvers 31 and the plurality of air dispersing members 74 to rotate synchronously, and can reliably mount the louver 31 and the air dispersing member 74 on the rotating assembly 20. In addition, it can also prevent the louver 31 and the air dispersing member 74 from interfering with the first air guiding plate 70 and the second air guiding plate 71 during operation.

[0146] Preferably, as Figures 30 - 40 shown, an anti-fooling structure may be provided on the louver 31 and the air dispersing member 74. Optionally, the anti-fooling structure may include an anti-fooling rib 86 and an anti-fooling groove 87. Among them, the anti-fooling rib 86 may be provided on the clamping member 83, and the anti-fooling groove 87 may be provided on the clamping hole 82. Preferably, two anti-fooling ribs 86 may be provided on the clamping member 83, and two anti-fooling grooves 87 may be provided on the clamping hole 82. Such a setting can facilitate assembling the louver 31 and the air dispersing member 74 together, prevent the louver 31 and the air dispersing member 74 from being assembled incorrectly, thereby improving the assembly efficiency of the louver 31 and the air dispersing member 74, and can also facilitate disassembly by the user, thereby facilitating the user to clean the louver 31 and the air dispersing member 74.

[0147] Even further, as Figures 37 - 40As shown, a groove 84 may be provided at one end of multiple louvers 31 close to the first air deflector 70. A connecting shaft 85 may be provided inside the groove 84. One end of the connecting shaft 85 may be connected to the louver 31, and the other end of the connecting shaft 85 may extend away from the louver 31. The connecting shaft 85 may cooperate with the connecting rod 32. That is to say, the connecting rod 32 may drive multiple louvers 31 to rotate through the connecting shaft 85. When the louvers 31 rotate, the louvers 31 may drive the air diffusing member 74 to rotate around its own rotation axis. Specifically, the louvers 31 may drive the air diffusing member 74 to rotate around its own rotation axis by ±45°. Such a setting can realize the operation of multiple louvers 31 and multiple air diffusing members 74 by moving the driving device 4, thereby avoiding the setting of an additional driving device to drive the air diffusing member 74 to operate.

[0148] It should be noted that, as Figure 30 shown, a mating hole 92 may be provided on the connecting rod 32, and the connecting shaft 85 may be connected and mated with the mating hole 92. The connection and mating between the connecting shaft 85 and the mating hole 92 can realize the connection and mating between the louver 31 and the connecting rod 32.

[0149] Optionally, as Figures 37 - 40 shown, the clamping member 83 may include a first sub-clamping portion 88 and a second sub-clamping portion 89. There may be a certain gap between the first sub-clamping portion 88 and the second sub-clamping portion 89. Two anti-fooling ribs 86 may be respectively provided on the first sub-clamping portion 88 and the second sub-clamping portion 89, and the two anti-fooling ribs 86 may be provided on both sides of the clamping member 83. Such a setting can improve the connection reliability between the louver 31 and the air diffusing member 74, avoid the detachment between the louver 31 and the air diffusing member 74, and also facilitate the disassembly of the louver 31 and the air diffusing member 74.

[0150] Optionally, as Figures 37 - 40 shown, third sub-clamping portions 90 may be provided on both the first sub-clamping portion 88 and the second sub-clamping portion 89, and a fourth sub-clamping portion 91 cooperating with the third sub-clamping portion 90 may be provided on the first air deflector 70. The cooperation between the third sub-clamping portion 90 and the fourth sub-clamping portion 91 can firmly mount the louver 31 on the first air deflector 70, avoid the detachment between the louver 31 and the first air deflector 70, and thus improve the use reliability of the air guiding device 10.

[0151] As some embodiments of the present invention, a water receiving tray may be provided at the bottom of the air outlet passage 2. The water receiving tray may be fixedly arranged relative to the air outlet passage 2. The water receiving tray may be an independently formed part, and after being processed and formed, the water receiving tray may be installed at the bottom of the air outlet passage 2.

[0152] Moreover, the water receiving tray is located at the bottom surface of the air guiding device 10. The air guiding device 10 is rotatable relative to the water receiving tray. A water receiving cavity can be defined within the water receiving tray. The water receiving tray can hold the condensed water on the air guiding device 10, and the condensed water on the air guiding device 10 can flow downward into the water receiving cavity of the water receiving tray.

[0153] When the air conditioner 100 is operating in the cooling mode, the condensed water generated on the air guiding device 10 flows downward along the air guiding device 10 into the water receiving cavity of the water receiving tray. The water receiving tray can hold the condensed water generated on the air guiding device 10, thereby effectively avoiding the inconvenience caused to the user by the condensed water droplets on the air guiding device 10 dripping onto the ground. Moreover, it can prevent the condensed water droplets on the air guiding device 10 from dripping onto other components within the air conditioner 100 (such as dripping onto components like the electronic control box and motor within the air conditioner 100), thereby reducing potential safety hazards.

[0154] Furthermore, as Figure 14 and Figure 16 shown, a part of the outer wall surface of the rotating member 20 adjacent to the water receiving tray can be formed as a guiding surface 11 (it can also be understood that a part of the outer wall surface of the second air guiding plate 71 adjacent to the water receiving tray can be formed as the guiding surface 11). The guiding surface 11 can extend to the bottom surface of the rotating member 20. The guiding surface 11 is used to guide the condensed water on the rotating member 20 into the water receiving cavity. The condensed water on the rotating member 20 flows downward along the outer wall surface of the rotating member 20 to the guiding surface 11 at the bottom of the rotating member 20. Through the guiding action of the guiding surface 11, the condensed water can be quickly and effectively guided into the water receiving cavity of the water receiving tray, preventing the condensed water droplets on the outer wall surface of the rotating member 20 from dripping onto the ground.

[0155] Even further, the projection of the bottom edge of the guiding surface 11 adjacent to the water receiving tray on the horizontal plane can be located within the projection of the water receiving cavity on the horizontal plane. During the process of the condensed water on the rotating member 20 flowing downward along the outer wall surface of the rotating member 20, since the projection of the bottom edge of the guiding surface 11 on the horizontal plane is located within the projection of the water receiving cavity on the horizontal plane, the condensed water can be guided into the water receiving cavity of the water receiving tray through the guiding surface 11 at the bottom of the rotating member 20, better preventing the condensed water droplets on the outer wall surface of the rotating member 20 from dripping onto the ground.

[0156] Furthermore, the projection of the guiding surface 11 on the horizontal plane can be located within the projection of the water receiving tray on the horizontal plane. Thus, when the condensed water on the rotating member 20 flows downward to the guiding surface 11, it can ensure that all the condensed water on the guiding surface 11 flows into the water receiving tray, better preventing the condensed water from dripping outside the water receiving tray, which may cause safety hazards and inconvenience.
