Specific embodiments
[0063] Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the drawings, where the same or similar reference numerals represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.
[0064] The air guiding component 40 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
[0065] As Figures 5 - 10 shown, the air guiding component 40 according to the first aspect embodiment of the present invention is rotatably provided in the air outlet passage 21 of the air conditioner. The air guiding component 40 is driven to rotate by the air guiding driving mechanism 30. The air guiding driving mechanism 30 can be a motor. The air guiding driving mechanism 30 can be provided on one axial side of the air outlet passage 21 and connected to the air guiding component 40. By rotating the air guiding component 40, the air flow can be adjusted. For example, it can be used to adjust the air flow direction.
[0066] The air guiding component 40 may include: an air guiding assembly 401 and a connecting member 7. The connecting member 7 can be provided at one end of the air guiding assembly 401 in the first direction (such as the up and down direction). For example, the connecting member 7 can be provided at the upper end or the lower end of the air guiding component 40. The first direction is parallel to the rotation axis of the air guiding assembly 401. The air guiding assembly 401 may include an outer air guiding plate 4 and an inner air guiding assembly 402. The inner air guiding assembly 402 may include an inner air guiding plate 5. The connecting member 7 is provided on the inner air guiding plate 5. The connecting member 7 can be provided at one end of the inner air guiding plate 5 in the first direction (such as the up and down direction). For example, the connecting member 7 can be provided at the upper end or the lower end of the inner air guiding plate 5. The air guiding driving mechanism 30 for driving the air guiding component 40 to rotate is adapted to be connected to the connecting member 7. Since the connecting member 7 is provided on the inner air guiding plate 5 of the air guiding assembly 401 and the connecting member 7 is connected to the air guiding driving mechanism 30, the connection between the air guiding component 40 and the air guiding driving mechanism 30 can be conveniently realized, so that the air guiding driving mechanism 30 can conveniently drive the air guiding component 40 to rotate.
[0067] An anti - detachment structure 44 is formed on the outer air guide plate 4. An installation structure may be formed on the inner air guide plate 5 of the air guide assembly 401. This installation structure is used to install and position the connecting piece 7 on the inner air guide plate 5 of the air guide assembly 401, so that the connecting piece 7 is fixed relative to the air guide assembly 401. The installation structure may include an avoidance opening 513 formed on the inner air guide plate 5, and a part of the connecting piece 7 passes through the avoidance opening 513. By providing the avoidance opening 513 on the inner air guide plate 5, a part of the connecting piece 7 can pass through the avoidance opening 513, so that a part of the connecting piece 7 and the anti - detachment structure 44 can be relatively arranged in the first direction, and the anti - detachment structure 44 has a limiting effect on the connecting piece 7 in the first direction.
[0068] Wherein, the connecting piece 7 is movable between a first position and a second position. For example, the connecting piece 7 can be movable between the first position and the second position along the first direction. The avoidance opening 513 can extend along the first direction. When the connecting piece moves between the first position and the second position along the first direction, the part of the connecting piece 7 cooperating with the avoidance opening 513 can slide along the avoidance opening 513, which has a certain guiding effect on the movement of the connecting piece 7 in the first direction. And the two side walls of the avoidance opening 513 in the third direction have a limiting effect on the connecting piece 7 in the third direction, and the third direction is perpendicular to the first direction.
[0069] When the connecting piece 7 is in the first position, the connecting piece 7 is installed and positioned on the inner air guide plate 5 through the installation structure, so that the connecting piece 7 is installed and positioned on the air guide assembly 401. At this time, the connecting piece 7 is adapted to be connected to the air guide driving mechanism 30, so that the air guide part 40 can be connected to the air guide driving mechanism 30. When the connecting piece 7 is in the second position, by moving the connecting piece 7 from the first position to the second position, the connection between the connecting piece 7 and the air guide driving mechanism 30 is realized to be separated. At this time, the installation structure on the inner air guide plate 5 and the anti - detachment structure 44 on the outer air guide plate 4 jointly limit the connecting piece 7 to prevent the connecting piece 7 from falling off the air guide assembly 401, so as to prevent the connecting piece 7 from being lost.
[0070] Moreover, by providing the installation structure for installing and positioning the connecting piece 7 on the inner air guide plate 5 and the anti - detachment structure 44 on the outer air guide plate 4, not only can the detachment and loss of the connecting piece 7 be avoided when the air guide part 40 is separated from the air guide driving mechanism 30, but also the installation and disassembly difficulty of the connecting piece 7 itself can be reduced. For example, when the connecting piece 7 is worn and fails during long - term use and needs to be replaced, the connection between the connecting piece 7 and the installation structure on the inner air guide plate 5 is disengaged, and the connecting piece 7 can be removed. Then a new connecting piece 7 is replaced, and the new connecting piece 7 is mated with the installation structure on the inner air guide plate 5 to complete the installation of the new connecting piece 7.
[0071] For example, the anti - detachment structure 44 can be located on the side of the connecting member 7 away from the air guiding driving mechanism 30. The anti - detachment structure 44 can be located between the outer air guiding plate 4 and the inner air guiding plate 5. When the connecting member 7 is in the second position, the anti - detachment structure 44 cooperates with the part of the connecting member 7 passing through the avoidance opening 513 to limit the movement of the connecting member 7 in the first direction and away from the air guiding driving mechanism 30, which can prevent the connecting member 7 from detaching from the air guiding assembly 401, thereby preventing the loss of the connecting member 7.
[0072] When the air guiding component 40 needs to be installed into the air outlet passage 21 of the air conditioner, the connecting member 7 can be moved from the second position to the first position. For example, an acting force is applied to the connecting member 7 to make the connecting member 7 move in the first direction and towards the vicinity of the air guiding driving mechanism 30 to the first position, so that the connecting member 7 is connected to the air guiding driving mechanism 30, thus realizing the connection between the air guiding component 40 and the air guiding driving mechanism 30, and the installation of the air guiding component 40 is achieved, and the installation is convenient and easy to operate. When the connecting member 7 is in the first position, the anti - detachment structure 44 on the outer air guiding plate 4 and the part of the connecting member 7 passing through the avoidance opening 513 have a movable distance in the first direction for the connecting member 7 to move, and this movable distance is not less than the distance between the first position and the second position in the first direction, that is, this movable distance is not less than the moving distance of the connecting member 7 between the first position and the second position.
[0073] When the air guiding component 40 needs to be removed from the air outlet passage 21 of the air conditioner, the connecting member 7 can be moved from the first position to the second position. For example, an acting force is applied to the connecting member 7 to make the connecting member 7 move in the first direction and away from the air guiding driving mechanism 30 to the second position, so that the connecting member 7 is separated from the air guiding driving mechanism 30, thus realizing the separation between the air guiding component 40 and the air guiding driving mechanism 30, and the removal of the air guiding component 40 is achieved, and the removal is convenient and easy to operate. When the connecting member 7 is in the second position, the anti - detachment structure 44 on the outer air guiding plate 4 and the part of the connecting member 7 passing through the avoidance opening 513 can be in abutment or have a small distance in the first direction, so as to limit the connecting member 7 in the first direction and away from the air guiding driving mechanism 30 through the anti - detachment structure 44, and prevent the connecting member 7 from detaching and being lost.
[0074] For example, taking the first direction as the up - down direction and the air guiding driving mechanism 30 being located below the air guiding component 40 as an example, the installation and removal processes of the air guiding component 40 are described.
[0075] When the air guiding component 40 needs to be installed in the air outlet passage 21 of the air conditioner, the connecting piece 7 can be pressed downward, so that the connecting piece 7 moves from the second position to the first position, thereby connecting the connecting piece 7 with the air guiding driving mechanism 30, and the connecting piece 7 cooperates with the installation structure on the inner air guiding plate 5. The connecting piece 7 is installed and positioned at the first position through the installation structure, thus realizing the connection between the air guiding component 40 and the air guiding driving mechanism 30, realizing the installation of the air guiding component 40, and the installation is convenient and easy to operate. When the air guiding component 40 needs to be removed from the air outlet passage 21 of the air conditioner, the connecting piece 7 can be pulled upward, so that the connecting piece 7 moves from the first position to the second position, thereby separating the connecting piece 7 from the air guiding driving mechanism 30, realizing the separation between the air guiding component 40 and the air guiding driving mechanism 30, realizing the disassembly of the air guiding component 40, and the disassembly is convenient and easy to operate.
[0076] According to the air guiding component 40 of the embodiment of the present invention, by arranging the connecting piece 7 connected with the air guiding driving mechanism on the air guiding assembly 401, and by making the connecting piece 7 movable between the first position and the second position, the connection and separation between the connecting piece 7 and the air guiding driving mechanism 30 can be conveniently realized, so that the disassembly and assembly operations of the air guiding component 40 are simple and convenient, the disassembly and assembly efficiency of the air guiding component 40 is improved, and the maintenance and cleaning of the air guiding component 40 are facilitated; and when the air guiding component 40 is separated from the air guiding driving mechanism 30, through the common cooperation of the installation structure on the inner air guiding plate 5 and the anti-detachment structure 44 on the outer air guiding plate 4, the connecting piece 7 can be limited, thereby preventing the connecting piece 7 on the air guiding assembly 401 from falling off and being lost, and ensuring the smooth disassembly and assembly of the air guiding component 40.
[0077] According to some embodiments of the present invention, with reference to Figures 6 - 8 and Figures 10 - 12 , the connecting piece 7 may include a connecting portion 71 and a positioning portion 72 arranged in the first direction. The connecting portion 71 and the positioning portion 72 are connected, and the connecting piece 7 may be an integrally formed part. The installation structure may include an installation hole 521. The connecting portion 71 may pass through the installation hole 521, and the connecting portion 71 is fixed relative to the installation hole 521. A part of the connecting portion 71 extends outside the installation hole 521 and is adapted to be connected with the air guiding driving mechanism 30. A part of the positioning portion 72 passes through the avoidance opening 513. When the connecting piece 7 moves along the first direction, the positioning portion 72 may slide along the avoidance opening 513, so that the connecting piece 7 moves stably along the first direction.
[0078] Moreover, through the provided mounting holes 521 and by passing the connecting portion 71 of the connecting member 7 through the mounting holes 521, the connecting portion 71 can be limited in the direction perpendicular to the first direction, making the installation and positioning of the connecting member 7 more reliable. When the connecting member 7 is in the first position, the connecting portion 71 of the connecting member 7 can be reliably fitted to the mounting holes 521 and is suitable for being connected to the air guiding driving mechanism 30; when the connecting member 7 is in the second position, the connecting portion 71 of the connecting member 7 can be disengaged from the mounting holes 521, or at least a part of the connecting portion 71 is disengaged from the mounting holes 521, and the connecting portion 71 is separated from the air guiding driving mechanism 30.
[0079] In this embodiment, still taking the first direction as the up-and-down direction and the air guiding driving mechanism 30 being located below the air guiding component 40 as an example, the installation and disassembly process of the air guiding component 40 will be described.
[0080] When it is necessary to install the air guiding component 40 into the air outlet passage 21 of the air conditioner, the connecting member 7 can be pressed downward, which can cause the connecting member 7 to move from the second position to the first position. At this time, the connecting portion 71 of the connecting member 7 is fitted into the mounting holes 521, and the connecting portion 71 is fixed relative to the mounting holes 521. At the same time, the connecting member 7 is connected to the air guiding driving mechanism 30, and the connecting member 7 is fitted with the mounting structure on the inner air guiding plate 5. The connecting member 7 is installed and positioned at the first position through the mounting structure, thus realizing the connection between the air guiding component 40 and the air guiding driving mechanism 30, realizing the installation of the air guiding component 40, and the installation is convenient and easy to operate.
[0081] When it is necessary to remove the air guiding component 40 from the air outlet passage 21 of the air conditioner, the connecting member 7 can be pulled upward, causing the connecting member 7 to move from the first position to the second position. As a result, the connecting portion 71 of the connecting member 7 is separated from the air guiding driving mechanism 30. At this time, at least a part of the connecting portion 71 is disengaged from the mounting holes 521, thus realizing the separation between the air guiding component 40 and the air guiding driving mechanism 30, realizing the disassembly of the air guiding component 40, and the disassembly is convenient and easy to operate.
[0082] According to some alternative embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figures 6 - 8 and Figures 10 - 16 , the connecting portion 71 may include a connecting column 711 and a first limiting stop 712. The first limiting stop 712 is formed on the outer peripheral wall of the connecting column 711. For example, when the first direction is the up-and-down direction and the mounting holes 521 are formed at the lower end of the air guiding assembly 401, the first limiting stop 712 may be formed at the top of the connecting column 711. The first limiting stop 712 may extend along the circumferential direction of the connecting column 711 and is annular. The bottom of the positioning portion 72 may be connected to the first limiting stop 712. A second limiting stop 522 may be formed on the inner peripheral wall of the mounting holes 521. The second limiting stop 522 may extend along the circumferential direction of the mounting holes 521 and is annular.
[0083] When the connecting member 7 is in the first position, the connecting post 711 of the connecting member 7 is fitted into the mounting hole 521, and the second limiting stop 522 and the first limiting stop 712 can abut against each other in the first direction. The first limiting stop 712 is located on the side of the second limiting stop 522 adjacent to the positioning portion 72 to limit the movement of the connecting member 7 in the first direction and in the direction adjacent to the air guiding driving mechanism 30. Thus, when the connecting member 7 is moved from the second position to the first position, through the abutting cooperation between the second limiting stop 522 and the first limiting stop 712, the connecting member 7 can be limited in the first position, preventing the connecting member 7 from being displaced too much due to excessive force, which not only ensures the reliable installation and positioning of the connecting member 7, but also enables the connecting member 7 to move accurately from the second position to the first position.
[0084] For example, when the connecting member 7 is moved to the first position by pressing the connecting member 7, since the second limiting stop 522 in the mounting hole 521 can limit the further downward movement of the connecting member 7 at this time, the operator feels a greater resistance, indicating that the connecting member 7 has been accurately moved to the first position; in addition, when the connecting member 7 is moved to the second position, although at least a part of the connecting portion 71 is separated from the mounting hole 521, the second limiting stop 522 in the mounting hole 521 can still play a role in limiting the connecting member 7 in the downward direction to prevent the connecting member 7 from moving downward and falling off from the mounting hole 521.
[0085] In some embodiments of the present invention, with reference to Figures 6 - 8 and Figures 10 - 14 , the positioning portion 72 may include a positioning portion body 721 and a positioning protrusion 725. The positioning portion body 721 may be located on the side of the inner air guiding plate 5 away from the outer air guiding plate 4. The positioning protrusion 725 may be provided on one side of the positioning portion body 721 in the second direction (such as the front-back direction). For example, the positioning protrusion 725 may be formed on the front side of the positioning portion body 721. The positioning protrusion 725 may pass through the avoiding opening 513, so as to realize that the positioning protrusion 725 and the anti-detaching structure 44 on the outer air guiding plate 4 are oppositely arranged in the first direction, and the two side walls of the avoiding opening 513 in the third direction can limit the positioning portion 72 in the third direction. The second direction is perpendicular to the first direction, and the third direction is perpendicular to the first direction and perpendicular to the second direction. By setting the positioning portion 72 to include the positioning portion body 721 and the positioning protrusion 725, it is convenient to realize that a part of the positioning portion 72 passes through the avoiding opening 513. During the movement of the connecting member 7 in the first direction, the positioning portion 72 slides along the avoiding opening 513, ensuring the reliable and stable movement of the connecting member 7 in the first direction, and the avoiding opening 513 has a limiting effect on the positioning portion 72 in the third direction.
[0086] It should be noted that regardless of whether the connecting member 7 is in the first position or the second position, the positioning protrusion 725 of the positioning portion 72 always cooperates with the avoidance opening 513. In this way, when the connecting member 7 is in the first position, the connecting member 7 can be reliably installed and positioned in the first position; when the connecting member 7 is in the second position, the connecting member 7 can be prevented from falling off in the third direction, thereby playing a better limiting role.
[0087] Optionally, referring to Figures 12 - 16 , the positioning portion body 721 can be in a flat plate shape, and the positioning protrusion 725 can be in a U shape with an opening facing upward, thereby ensuring a relatively large structural strength of the positioning portion 72; the anti-detachment structure 44 can be formed as a convex block, thereby making the structure of the anti-detachment structure 44 simple and convenient for processing and forming.
[0088] Optionally, referring to Figures 12 - 16 , reinforcing ribs 724 can be formed on the positioning portion body 721. The reinforcing ribs 724 can be located on the side of the positioning portion body 721 away from the positioning protrusion 725, and the reinforcing ribs 724 can extend to the connecting portion 71 and be connected to the connecting portion 71. While strengthening the structural strength of the positioning portion 72, the reinforcing ribs 724 can increase the connection strength between the positioning portion 72 and the connecting portion 71, thereby improving the overall structural strength of the connecting member 7.
[0089] In a further embodiment of the present invention, referring to Figures 6 - 8 and Figures 10 - 14 , the installation structure can further include a limit buckle 511. The limit buckle 511 is formed on the side of the inner air guide plate 5 away from the outer air guide plate 4. The limit buckle 511 can be provided on the opposite sides of the positioning portion body 721 in the third direction (such as the left-right direction). A limit groove 5111 can be defined between the limit buckle 511 and the inner air guide plate 5. The two ends of the positioning portion body 721 in the third direction can respectively cooperate with the limit grooves 5111 on both sides to limit the positioning portion 72 at least in the second direction (such as the front-back direction). Thus, through the above installation holes 521, avoidance openings 513, and limit buckles 511, the connecting member 7 can be limited in multiple directions, so that the connecting member 7 is reliably installed and positioned on the inner air guide plate 5 when in the first position, and when the connecting member 7 is in the second position, the connecting member 7 can be better prevented from falling off and being lost.
[0090] It should be noted that regardless of whether the connecting member 7 is in the first position or the second position, the two ends of the positioning portion body 721 in the third direction always cooperate with the limit grooves 5111 on both sides. In this way, when the connecting member 7 is in the first position, the connecting member 7 can be reliably installed and positioned in the first position; when the connecting member 7 is in the second position, the connecting member 7 can be prevented from falling off in the second direction, thereby playing a better limiting role.
[0091] Optionally, the positioning part body 721 cooperates with the limiting groove 5111 to limit the positioning part 72 in the second direction and the third direction. By the cooperation of the positioning part body 721 and the limiting groove 5111, the positioning part body 721 can be limited in multiple directions, so as to realize reliable limitation of the connecting part 7.
[0092] For example, in Figures 6 - 8 and Figures 10 - 14 In the example, taking the first direction as the up-down direction, the second direction as the front-back direction, and the third direction as the left-right direction, the limiting grooves 5111 defined by the limiting buckles 511 on the left and right sides of the positioning part body 721 and the inner air guide plate 5 limit the positioning part body 721 in both the left-right direction and the front-back direction.
[0093] In some alternative embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figures 12 - 14 , plugging and unplugging protrusions 722 may be formed on the positioning part body 721, and the plugging and unplugging protrusions 722 may be formed on the opposite side walls of the positioning part body 721 in the third direction. When the connecting part 7 is in the first position, the plugging and unplugging protrusion 722 is located on the side of the limiting buckle 511 adjacent to the connecting portion 71. At this time, the limiting buckle 511 can limit the plugging and unplugging protrusion 722 in the first direction and in the direction away from the air guide driving mechanism 30, ensuring that the connecting part 7 is further reliably positioned in the first position. When the connecting part 7 is in the second position, the plugging and unplugging protrusion 722 is located on the side of the limiting buckle 511 away from the connecting portion 71. At this time, the limiting buckle 511 can limit the plugging and unplugging protrusion 722 in the first direction and in the direction adjacent to the air guide driving mechanism 30, ensuring that the connecting part 7 is reliably limited in the second position, and better preventing the connecting part 7 from falling off and being lost.
[0094] Wherein, during the process of plugging and unplugging the connecting part 7 in the first direction, when the plugging and unplugging protrusion 722 is located in the limiting groove 5111, the limiting buckle 511 presses the plugging and unplugging protrusion 722, and the operator can feel an obvious resistance. And during the process of the plugging and unplugging protrusion 722 passing through the limiting groove 5111, due to the process of the plugging and unplugging protrusion 722 being squeezed and reset, there will be an obvious plugging and unplugging sound, thereby prompting the operator that the connecting part 7 is plugged and unplugged in place.
[0095] For example, still taking the up-down direction as the first direction, the mounting hole 521 is formed at the lower end of the air guiding assembly 401. When the air guiding component 40 needs to be installed into the air outlet passage 21 of the air conditioner, the connecting member 7 can be pressed downward, so that the connecting member 7 moves from the second position to the first position. At this time, the connecting portion 71 of the connecting member 7 is fitted into the mounting hole 521, and the connecting portion 71 is fixed relative to the mounting hole 521. At the same time, the connecting member 7 is connected to the air guiding driving mechanism 30, and the connecting member 7 is fitted with the mounting structure on the inner air guiding plate 5. The connecting member 7 is installed and positioned at the first position through the mounting structure, thus realizing the connection between the air guiding component 40 and the air guiding driving mechanism 30, realizing the installation of the air guiding component 40, and the installation is convenient and easy to operate.
[0096] During the process of the connecting member 7 moving from the second position to the first position, the insertion and extraction protrusion 722 on the positioning portion body 721 moves downward along with the positioning portion body 721 and passes through the limiting groove 5111. The insertion and extraction protrusion 722 is squeezed. When the insertion and extraction protrusion 722 moves below the limiting buckle 511, the insertion and extraction protrusion 722 disengages from the limiting groove 5111, and the insertion and extraction protrusion 722 resets and makes a sound, thereby prompting the operator that the connecting member 7 has been inserted downward into the mounting hole 521 and is installed in place. And at this time, the limiting buckle 511 is located above the insertion and extraction protrusion 722, and can further limit the connecting member 7 in the upward direction, better positioning the connecting member 7 at the first position.
[0097] When the air guiding component 40 needs to be removed from the air outlet passage 21 of the air conditioner, the connecting member 7 can be pulled upward, so that the connecting member 7 moves from the first position to the second position, so that the connecting portion 71 of the connecting member 7 is separated from the air guiding driving mechanism 30. At this time, at least a part of the connecting portion 71 disengages from the mounting hole 521, thus realizing the separation between the air guiding component 40 and the air guiding driving mechanism 30, realizing the disassembly of the air guiding component 40, and the disassembly is convenient and easy to operate. During the process of the connecting member 7 moving from the first position to the second position, the insertion and extraction protrusion 722 on the positioning portion body 721 moves upward along with the positioning portion body 721 and passes through the limiting groove 5111. The insertion and extraction protrusion 722 is squeezed. When the insertion and extraction protrusion 722 moves above the limiting buckle 511, the insertion and extraction protrusion 722 disengages from the limiting groove 5111, and the insertion and extraction protrusion 722 resets and makes a sound, thereby prompting the operator that the connecting member 7 has been pulled upward in place. And at this time, the limiting buckle 511 is located below the insertion and extraction protrusion 722, and can limit the connecting member 7 in the downward direction to prevent the connecting member 7 from falling downward.
[0098] Optionally, referring to Figures 12 - 14 and referring to Figures 12 - 14, an elastic opening 723 is formed on the positioning portion body 721. There can be two elastic openings 723, which are respectively located at the opposite ends of the positioning portion body 721 in the third direction. The elastic opening 723 extends along the first direction. Elastic arms 726 are respectively defined between the elastic opening 723 and the opposite side walls of the positioning portion body 721 in the third direction. The insertion and extraction protrusion 722 is formed on the elastic arm 726. For example, the two elastic openings 723 are respectively located at the left and right ends of the positioning portion body 721. The left part of the positioning portion body 721 on the left side of the left elastic opening 723 is formed as the elastic arm 726, and the right part of the positioning portion body 721 on the right side of the right elastic opening 723 is formed as the elastic arm 726. The limiting grooves 5111 defined between the two limiting buckles 511 and the inner air guide plate 5 cooperate with the two elastic arms 726 respectively, so that the positioning portion 72 can be limited in the left-right direction (i.e., the second direction).
[0099] Thus, through the elastic opening 723 formed on the positioning portion body 721, elastic arms 726 with elastic deformation ability can be formed at both ends of the positioning portion body 721, and the elastic arms 726 can elastically deform in the second direction. The elastic opening 723 provides an elastic deformation space for the elastic arms 726. Thus, during the movement of the connecting member 7 along the first direction, when the insertion and extraction protrusion 722 is located in the limiting groove 5111, it is convenient to realize the limiting buckle 511 squeezing the insertion and extraction protrusion 722. When the limiting buckle 511 squeezes the insertion and extraction protrusion 722, it also squeezes the elastic arm 726, causing the elastic arm 726 to elastically deform. After the insertion and extraction protrusion 722 passes through the limiting groove 5111, the elastic arm 726 resets, so that the insertion and extraction protrusion 722 resets.
[0100] Optionally, when the above-mentioned reinforcing ribs 724 are provided on the positioning portion body 721, the reinforcing ribs can be located between the two elastic openings 723 and adjacent to the elastic openings 723.
[0101] In a further embodiment of the present invention, referring to Figures 12 - 14 , the installation structure may further include limiting ribs 512. The limiting ribs 512 can extend along the first direction. There can be two limiting ribs 512, and the two limiting ribs 512 are located on the opposite sides of the positioning portion body 721 in the third direction. When the connecting member 7 is in the first position, the insertion and extraction protrusion 722 abuts against the corresponding limiting rib 512 in the third direction. This can further enhance the limiting effect on the positioning portion 72 in the third direction, and during the movement of the connecting member 7 along the first direction, the insertion and extraction protrusion 722 can slide along the limiting rib 512, thereby further improving the reliable stability of the connecting member 7 moving along the first direction.
[0102] In some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figures 12 - 14, the cross-section of the connecting column 711 can be formed into a polygon, and the cross-section of the mating part of the mounting hole 521 and the connecting column 711 is also formed into a polygon, and the shape of the cross-section of the mating part of the mounting hole 521 and the connecting column 711 is adapted to the shape of the cross-section of the connecting column 711. For example, the cross-section of the connecting column 711 can be formed into a hexagon, and the cross-section of the mating part of the mounting hole 521 and the connecting column 711 is also a hexagon. Thus, by forming the cross-section of the connecting column 711 into a polygon and the cross-section of the mating part of the mounting hole 521 and the connecting column 711 into a polygon, the connecting column 711 and the mounting hole 521 can be stably and reliably mated, and the connecting column 711 can be fixed relative to the inner peripheral wall of the mounting hole 521. When the air guiding driving mechanism 30 is connected to the connecting column 711 and the driving connecting piece 7 rotates, the connecting column 711 can be prevented from moving relative to the air guiding assembly 401, so that the air guiding driving mechanism 30 can stably and reliably drive the entire air guiding component 40 to rotate.
[0103] Optionally, the air guiding driving mechanism 30 can be a motor. A driving shaft sleeve 32 can be sleeved outside the driving shaft 31 of the air guiding driving mechanism 30. The driving shaft sleeve 32 is an insulating part and is fixed relative to the driving shaft 31. A shaft hole 7111 is formed in the connecting column 711 of the connecting piece 7. When the air guiding driving mechanism 30 is connected to the connecting piece 7, the driving shaft 31 sleeved with the driving shaft sleeve 32 can be fitted and received into the shaft hole 7111 of the connecting piece 7, so that the connection and separation between the connecting piece 7 and the air guiding driving mechanism 30 can be conveniently realized. For example, by pressing the connecting piece 7 along the first direction, the driving shaft 31 of the air guiding driving mechanism 30 can be fitted into the shaft hole 7111 of the connecting piece 7, so that the air guiding component 40 can be connected to the air guiding driving mechanism 30; or by pulling up the connecting piece 7 along the first direction, the shaft hole 7111 of the connecting piece 7 can be disengaged from the driving shaft 31 of the air guiding driving mechanism 30, so that the air guiding component 40 can be separated from the air guiding driving mechanism 30.
[0104] Optionally, the cross-section of the driving shaft 31 can also be a polygon (such as a hexagon), the part of the driving shaft sleeve 32 that mates with the shaft hole 7111 of the connecting column 711 can also be formed into a polygon (such as a hexagon), and the shaft hole 7111 in the connecting column 711 can also be formed into a polygon (such as a hexagon).
[0105] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, refer to Figures 10 - 12, the inner air guide plate 5 may include an inner air guide plate body 51 and an inner extension portion 52. The inner extension portion 52 may be located at one end of the inner air guide plate body 51 in the first direction. For example, the inner extension portion 52 may be connected to the lower side of the inner air guide plate body 51, and the inner extension portion 52 is located on the side of the inner air guide plate body 51 away from the outer air guide plate 4. There is an included angle between the inner extension portion 52 and the inner air guide plate body 51, and the range of the included angle between the inner extension portion 52 and the inner air guide plate body 51 may be 80 - 100°. For example, the included angle between the inner extension portion 52 and the inner air guide plate body 51 is 90°. The mounting hole 521 may be formed on the inner extension portion 52, and the above-mentioned avoidance opening 513 is formed on the inner air guide plate body 51. Thus, it is convenient for the formation of the mounting hole 521 and the avoidance opening 513, and it is also convenient for the installation of the connecting member 7. Among them, the above-mentioned limit buckles 511 and limit ribs 512 are both formed on the inner air guide plate body 51. The two limit buckles 511 are located on the opposite sides of the avoidance opening 513 in the third direction, and the two limit ribs 512 are located on the opposite sides of the avoidance opening 513 in the third direction.
[0106] In some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figures 5 - 12 , a wind-dispersing structure 41 through which air flow can pass may be formed on the outer air guide plate 4. The wind-dispersing structure 41 may include a plurality of wind-dispersing holes 411. The inner air guide assembly 402 further includes: a guide vane assembly 61 and a louver mechanism 62. The guide vane assembly 61 may be provided on the inner air guide plate 5. The guide vane assembly 61 may include rotatable moving vanes 611. The moving vanes 611 are a plurality of spaced apart in the first direction (such as the up and down direction), and the moving vanes 611 are located between the outer air guide plate 4 and the inner air guide plate 5. Air passing holes 514 are formed at positions on the inner air guide plate 5 opposite to the moving vanes 611. The number of the air passing holes 514 is the same as that of the moving vanes 611 and they correspond one by one. The louver mechanism 62 is provided on the side of the inner air guide plate 5 away from the outer air guide plate 4, and the louver mechanism 62 can adjust the air flow direction.
[0107] When the air guide component 40 is used in an air conditioner, the air flow can first flow through a plurality of moving vanes 611. The plurality of rotating moving vanes 611 can make the air flow form a swirling flow. The air flow passing through the moving vanes 611 passes through the air passing holes 514, and then under the guiding action of the louver mechanism 62, it blows towards the outer air guide plate 4, and finally blows into the room through the wind-dispersing structure 41 on the outer air guide plate 4. In this way, after the air flow passes through the air guide assembly 401, the blown air flow can be made softer and closer to natural wind.
[0108] For example, in some specific embodiments of the present invention, the air guiding assembly 401 includes an outer air guiding plate 4 and an inner air guiding assembly 402. The inner air guiding assembly 402 includes an inner air guiding plate 5, a guide vane assembly 61 and a louver mechanism 62. The inner air guiding plate 5 can be connected to the outer air guiding plate 4. The guide vane assembly 61 and the louver mechanism 62 are both provided on the inner air guiding plate 5. The guide vane assembly 61 can include a stationary vane 612 and a rotatable moving vane 611. The moving vanes 611 are multiple and arranged at intervals in the up and down direction, and the moving vanes 611 are located between the outer air guiding plate 4 and the inner air guiding plate 5. Air passing holes 514 are formed at positions on the inner air guiding plate 5 opposite to the moving vanes 611. The number of the air passing holes 514 is the same as that of the moving vanes 611 and they correspond one by one. A stationary vane 612 is provided in each air passing hole 514 and the stationary vane 612 is fixed relative to the inner air guiding plate 5. The louver mechanism 62 is provided on the side of the inner air guiding plate 5 away from the outer air guiding plate 4. The louver mechanism 62 includes a connecting rod 621 and multiple louvers 622. The connecting rod 621 extends in the up and down direction and is movable in the up and down direction. The multiple louvers 622 are arranged at intervals in the up and down direction. Each louver 622 is rotatably connected to the connecting rod 621 and the inner air guiding plate 5. The number of the louvers 622 is the same as that of the air passing holes 514 and they correspond one by one. Specifically, each stationary vane 612 provided in each air passing hole 514 has a stationary vane 612 hub, each moving vane 611 has a moving vane 611 rotating shaft, each louver 622 has a louver 622 rotating shaft. The louver 622 rotating shaft of each louver 622 is connected to and relatively fixed to the moving vane 611 rotating shaft of the corresponding moving vane 611. The moving vane 611 rotating shaft of each moving vane 611 is rotatably fitted in the corresponding stationary vane 612 hub. Each moving vane 611 is connected to the louver 622 rotating shaft. When the louver 622 rotating shaft rotates, it can synchronously drive the corresponding moving vane 611 to rotate.
[0109] Among them, the louver 622 driving mechanism 50 for driving the movement of the louver mechanism 62 can be provided above the louver mechanism 62. The louver 622 driving mechanism 50 can include a louver 622 driving motor, a driving gear and a driving rack. The driving gear is connected and fixed to the motor shaft of the louver 622 driving motor. The driving gear meshes with the driving rack. The driving rack is connected to the connecting rod 621. When the louver 622 driving motor works, it drives the driving gear to rotate. Through the meshing of the driving gear and the driving rack, it can drive the driving rack to move in the up and down direction, thereby driving the connecting rod 621 to move in the up and down direction, and further driving the multiple louvers 622 to swing. It can make the multiple louvers 622 swing to a set direction, or make the multiple louvers 622 swing reciprocally.
[0110] Further, the air guiding component 40 may further include a sliding assembly 53, which is arranged at the upper end of the air guiding assembly 401. The sliding assembly 53 includes a mounting block, a slider and a sliding cover. The mounting block may be detachably mounted on the inner air guiding plate 5. For example, a notch is formed at the lower end of the inner air guiding plate 5. The mounting block is engaged with the notch and is fixed relative to the inner air guiding plate 5. A chute extending in the vertical direction is formed on the mounting block. The slider is slidably engaged with the chute in the vertical direction. The connecting rod 621 is connected to the slider, and the above-mentioned driving rack is also connected to the slider. The sliding cover can cover the side of the slider connected to the connecting rod 621. When the louver 622 driving motor operates, it drives the driving gear to rotate. Through the meshing of the driving gear and the driving rack, the driving rack can be driven to move in the vertical direction, so as to drive the slider to move in the vertical direction. During the movement of the slider, it slides along the chute, so that the slider can stably move in the vertical direction, and thus the connecting rod 621 can be driven to stably move in the vertical direction, further driving the plurality of louvers 622 to swing. The plurality of louvers 622 can be swung to a set direction, or the plurality of louvers 622 can swing reciprocally.
[0111] The following refers to Figures 5 - 16 Describe the air guiding component 40 according to some specific embodiments of the present invention.
[0112] In this embodiment, the first direction is the vertical direction, the second direction is the front-rear direction, and the third direction is the left-right direction. The air guiding component 40 includes the above-mentioned outer air guiding plate 4 and the inner air guiding assembly 402.

Among them, the inner air guiding plate 5 includes the above-mentioned inner air guiding plate body 51 and the inner extension part 52.

The fastening handle 73 is connected to the top of the positioning portion body 721, and the positioning protrusion 725 is provided on the front side of the positioning portion body 721. Elastic openings 723 are respectively formed at the left and right ends of the positioning portion body 721. The elastic openings 723 are strip-shaped and extend in the up and down direction. The portions of the positioning portion body 721 located on the left side of the left elastic opening 723 and the portions of the positioning portion body 721 located on the left side of the left elastic opening 723 are both formed as elastic arms 726, and insertion and extraction protrusions 722 are formed on each elastic arm 726. Reinforcing ribs 724 are also formed on the positioning portion body 721. The reinforcing ribs 724 are located between the two elastic openings 723. There is at least one reinforcing rib 724. For example, there can be multiple (such as two) reinforcing ribs 724. When there are multiple reinforcing ribs 724, the multiple reinforcing ribs 724 are arranged at intervals in the left and right direction. Each reinforcing rib 724 extends in the up and down direction, and the lower end of each reinforcing rib 724 extends to the connecting portion 71 and is connected to the connecting portion 71.
[0114] The installation structure includes the above-mentioned avoidance opening 513, installation hole 521, limiting buckle 511 and limiting rib 512. The installation hole 521 is formed in the inner extension portion 52, and the above-mentioned second limiting stop 522 is formed on the inner peripheral wall of the installation hole 521. The anti-detachment structure 44 is provided on the outer air guide plate 4 and is located at the rear side of the outer air guide plate 4 (that is, the side of the outer air guide plate 4 adjacent to the inner air guide plate 5). An avoidance opening 513 is formed at the lower end of the inner air guide plate body 51. The avoidance opening 513 penetrates the inner air guide plate body 51 in the front and rear direction, and the avoidance opening 513 communicates with the installation hole 521 located on the inner extension portion 52. The limiting buckle 511 and the limiting rib 512 are provided on the inner air guide plate body 51 and are located at the rear side of the inner air guide plate body 51 (that is, the side of the inner air guide plate body 51 away from the outer air guide plate 4). There are two limiting buckles 511, and the two limiting buckles 511 are respectively located on the left and right sides of the positioning portion body 721 and are respectively located on the left and right sides of the avoidance opening 513. There are also two limiting ribs 512. The two limiting ribs 512 are located on the left and right sides of the positioning portion body 721. The two limiting ribs 512 are located on the left and right sides of the avoidance opening 513. Each limiting rib 512 is located below the corresponding limiting buckle 511 on the corresponding side and is connected to the corresponding limiting buckle 511.
[0115] Optionally, the connecting member 7 can be an integrally formed part, which can simplify the processing and forming process of the connecting member 7.
[0116] Optionally, the anti-falling structure 44 can be integrally formed with the outer air guide plate 4, and the limit buckle 511 and the limit rib 512 can be integrally formed with the inner air guide plate 5.
[0117] When the air guide component 40 needs to be installed into the air outlet passage 21 of the air conditioner, the connecting member 7 can be pressed downward, so that the connecting member 7 moves from the second position to the first position. At this time, the connecting portion 71 of the connecting member 7 is fitted into the mounting hole 521, and the connecting portion 71 is fixed relative to the mounting hole 521. At the same time, the connecting member 7 is connected to the air guide driving mechanism 30, and the connecting member 7 is fitted with the mounting structure on the inner air guide plate 5. The connecting member 7 is installed and positioned at the first position through the mounting structure, thus realizing the connection between the air guide component 40 and the air guide driving mechanism 30, realizing the installation of the air guide component 40, and the installation is convenient and easy to operate.
[0118] During the process of the connecting member 7 moving from the second position to the first position, the insertion and extraction protrusion 722 on the positioning portion body 721 moves downward with the positioning portion body 721 and passes through the limit groove 5111. The insertion and extraction protrusion 722 is squeezed. When the insertion and extraction protrusion 722 moves below the limit buckle 511, the insertion and extraction protrusion 722 disengages from the limit groove 5111, and the insertion and extraction protrusion 722 resets and makes a sound, thereby prompting the operator that the connecting member 7 has been inserted downward into the mounting hole 521 and is installed in place. And at this time, the limit buckle 511 is located above the insertion and extraction protrusion 722, and can further limit the connecting member 7 in the upward direction, better positioning the connecting member 7 at the first position.
[0119] When the air guide component 40 needs to be removed from the air outlet passage 21 of the air conditioner, the connecting member 7 can be pulled upward, so that the connecting member 7 moves from the first position to the second position, so that the connecting portion 71 of the connecting member 7 is separated from the air guide driving mechanism 30. At this time, at least a part of the connecting portion 71 disengages from the mounting hole 521, thus realizing the separation between the air guide component 40 and the air guide driving mechanism 30, realizing the disassembly of the air guide component 40, and the disassembly is convenient and easy to operate. During the process of the connecting member 7 moving from the first position to the second position, the insertion and extraction protrusion 722 on the positioning portion body 721 moves upward with the positioning portion body 721 and passes through the limit groove 5111. The insertion and extraction protrusion 722 is squeezed. When the insertion and extraction protrusion 722 moves above the limit buckle 511, the insertion and extraction protrusion 722 disengages from the limit groove 5111, and the insertion and extraction protrusion 722 resets and makes a sound, thereby prompting the operator that the connecting member 7 has been pulled upward in place. And at this time, the limit buckle 511 is located below the insertion and extraction protrusion 722, and can limit the connecting member 7 in the downward direction to prevent the connecting member 7 from falling downward.
[0120] The following refers to Figures 5 - 12 and Figures 15 - 22Describe the air guiding component 40 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The air guiding component 40 has a guiding surface 42.
[0121] Referring to Figures 17 - 21 , the air guiding component 40 can be rotatably arranged in the air outlet passage 21 of the air conditioner. By rotating the air guiding component 40, the function of the air guiding component 40 to adjust the air flow can be realized. For example, the air flow direction can be adjusted. A water receiving part 22 is formed at the bottom of the air outlet passage 21, and the water receiving part 22 is fixed relative to the air outlet passage 21. The water receiving part 22 can be an independently formed part. After the water receiving part 22 is processed and formed, it is installed on the bottom surface of the air outlet passage 21; the water receiving part 22 can also be constructed by the inner bottom wall and the inner peripheral wall of the air outlet passage 21. For example, when the air conditioner includes an air outlet frame 20 and the air outlet passage 21 is formed on the air outlet frame 20, the water receiving part 22 can be integrally formed with the air outlet frame 20. The water receiving part 22 is located at the bottom surface of the air guiding component 40, and the air guiding component 40 is rotatable relative to the water receiving part 22. A water receiving cavity 221 can be defined in the water receiving part 22. The water receiving part 22 can receive the condensed water on the air guiding component 40, and the condensed water on the air guiding component 40 can flow downward into the water receiving cavity 221 of the water receiving part 22.
[0122] When the air conditioner is operating in the cooling mode, the condensed water generated on the air guiding component 40 flows downward along the air guiding component 40 into the water receiving cavity 221 of the water receiving part 22. The water receiving part 22 can receive the condensed water generated on the air guiding component 4, which can effectively prevent the condensed water generated on the air guiding component 40 from dripping onto the ground or other components inside the air conditioner (for example, dripping onto components such as the electric control box and motor inside the air conditioner, which is likely to cause potential safety hazards), can effectively avoid the inconvenience brought to users by the condensed water dripping onto the ground, and can reduce potential safety hazards.
[0123] Among them, a part of the outer wall surface of the air guiding component 40 adjacent to the water receiving part 22 can be formed as the guiding surface 42. The guiding surface 42 can extend to the bottom surface of the air guiding component 40. The guiding surface 42 is used to guide the condensed water on the air guiding component 40 into the water receiving cavity 221. The condensed water on the air guiding component 40 flows downward along the outer wall surface of the air guiding component 40 to the guiding surface 42 at the bottom of the air guiding component 40. Through the guiding action of the guiding surface 42, the condensed water can be quickly and effectively guided into the water receiving cavity 221 of the water receiving part 22, and the condensed water on the outer wall surface of the air guiding component 40 can be prevented from dripping onto the ground. It should be noted that the "outer wall surface of the air guiding component 40" refers to the outer wall surface of the air guiding component 40 facing outward when the air guiding component 40 is in the position of closing the air outlet end of the air outlet passage 21.
[0124] Optionally, the air guiding component 40 can be a wind guiding plate, and the air guiding component 40 can also include a wind guiding plate and other air guiding structures.
[0125] The air guiding component 40 according to an embodiment of the present invention can receive the condensed water generated on the air guiding component 40 by providing a water receiving part 22 at the bottom of the air outlet channel 21 and the water receiving part 22 is located on the bottom surface of the air guiding component 40; and, by forming a diversion surface 42 on a part of the outer wall surface of the air guiding component 40 adjacent to the water receiving part 22, the condensed water generated by the air guiding component 40 can be diverted to the water receiving cavity 221 of the water receiving part 22 through the diversion surface 42, effectively preventing the condensed water droplets on the air guiding component 40 from dropping onto the ground and other components inside the air conditioner, thereby effectively avoiding the inconvenience brought to users by the condensed water droplets dropping onto the ground, and at the same time reducing potential safety hazards.
[0126] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 8 、 Figure 18 and Figure 20 , at least a part of the diversion surface 42 extends obliquely inward in the direction from top to bottom (the "extending obliquely inward" means extending obliquely in the direction towards the center of the air conditioner adjacent to it, relative to the position where the air guiding component 40 closes the air outlet end of the air outlet channel 21), for example, in the direction relative to the user, at least a part of the diversion surface 42 extends obliquely backward in the direction from top to bottom. For example, it can be that a part of the diversion surface 42 extends obliquely inward in the direction from top to bottom, or the entire diversion surface 42 extends obliquely inward in the direction from top to bottom. By extending at least a part of the diversion surface 42 obliquely inward in the direction from top to bottom, when the condensed water on the air guiding component 40 flows downward to the diversion surface 42, the diversion surface 42 can divert the condensed water downward and inward to the water receiving cavity 221 of the water receiving part 22, so that the diversion surface 42 plays a better diversion role.
[0127] Optionally, in the direction from top to bottom, the diversion surface 42 extends along a straight line, a broken line or a curve. Thereby, the structure of the diversion surface 42 is set more flexibly and variably, and at the same time, a better diversion effect can be achieved.
[0128] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the projection of the bottom edge of the diversion surface 42 adjacent to the water receiving part 22 on the horizontal plane can be located within the projection of the water receiving cavity 221 on the horizontal plane. During the process of the condensed water on the air guiding component 40 flowing downward along the outer wall surface of the air guiding component 40, since the projection of the bottom edge of the diversion surface 42 on the horizontal plane is located within the projection of the water receiving cavity 221 on the horizontal plane, the diversion surface 42 at the bottom of the air guiding component 40 can divert the condensed water to the water receiving cavity 221 of the water receiving part 22, which can better prevent the condensed water droplets on the outer wall surface of the air guiding component 40 from dropping onto the ground.
[0129] Further, the projection of the diversion surface 42 on the horizontal plane is at least partially located within the projection of the water receiving part 22 on the horizontal plane. Thus, when the condensed water on the air guiding component 40 flows downward onto the diversion surface 42, it can be ensured that all the condensed water on the diversion surface 42 flows into the water receiving part 22, better preventing the condensed water from dropping outside the water receiving part 22 and causing safety hazards and inconveniences.
[0130] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 8 and Figure 18 , at least a part of the diversion surface 42 is located within the water receiving cavity 221. For example, a part of the diversion surface 42 can be located within the water receiving cavity 221, or the entire diversion surface 42 can be located within the water receiving cavity 221. By making at least a part of the diversion surface 42 located within the water receiving cavity 221, it can be better ensured that the condensed water flowing downward from the air guiding component 40 onto the diversion surface 42 is diverted into the water receiving cavity 221 of the water receiving part 22. The part of the inner side wall of the water receiving cavity 221 opposite to the diversion surface 42 can be spaced apart from the diversion surface 42, thereby forming a diversion space between the inner side wall of the water receiving cavity 221 and the diversion surface 42. By making the part of the inner side wall of the water receiving cavity 221 opposite to the diversion surface 42 spaced apart from the diversion surface 42, when the condensed water on the air guiding component 40 flows downward onto the diversion surface 42, the diversion space can provide a flow space for the condensed water flowing onto the diversion surface 42, preventing the condensed water flowing onto the diversion surface 42 from dropping outside the water receiving part 22, and thus further effectively preventing the condensed water on the air guiding component 40 from dropping onto the ground.
[0131] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the part of the outer wall surface of the air guiding component 40 adjacent to the water receiving part 22 is recessed inward (the "recessed inward" means recessed in the direction towards the center of the air conditioner, relative to the position of the air guiding component 40 at the air outlet end of the closed air outlet passage 21), so as to form the diversion surface 42. Thus, the diversion surface 42 is recessed inward relative to other parts of the outer wall surface of the diversion assembly, which can make the condensed water on the air guiding component 40 flow downward onto the diversion surface 42 and flow inward, and under the diversion action of the diversion surface 42, flow into the water receiving cavity 221 of the water receiving part 22, thereby effectively preventing the condensed water on the air guiding component 40 from dropping onto the ground.
[0132] According to some embodiments of the present invention, at least a part of the inner side wall of the water receiving cavity 221 is formed as a drainage surface, the drainage surface extends to the upper end surface of the water receiving part 22, and the drainage surface extends obliquely in a direction towards the center of the water receiving cavity 221 in the up-down direction. This can increase the water receiving area of the water receiving cavity 221. When the condensed water on the air guiding component 40 drops onto the drainage surface of the water receiving part 22, through the drainage effect of the drainage surface, the condensed water can be drained into the water receiving cavity 221, further reducing the probability that the condensed water on the air guiding component 40 drops outside the water receiving part 22, reducing potential safety hazards, and also reducing the inconvenience to users.
[0133] Optionally, referring to the figure, the part of the diversion surface 42 located in the water receiving cavity 221 is opposite to and spaced from the drainage surface, so that the space defined between the diversion surface 42 and the drainage surface can form at least a part of the above-mentioned diversion space. The condensed water flowing downward onto the diversion surface 42 on the air guiding component 40 and the condensed water dropping onto the drainage surface of the air guiding component 40 can both be accommodated in this diversion space and be quickly and smoothly diverted into the water receiving cavity 221.
[0134] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 8 、 Figure 18 and Figure 20 On the outer wall surface of the air guiding component 40, a diversion structure for diverting condensed water to the diversion surface 42 can also be formed, and the diversion structure can be located above the diversion surface 42. The condensed water on the outer wall surface of the air guiding component 40 can be diverted to the diversion surface 42 through the diversion structure, and then be diverted into the water receiving cavity 221 of the water receiving part 22 through the diversion surface 42. Thus, through the provided diversion structure and diversion surface 42, the condensed water on the outer wall surface of the air guiding component 40 can be better diverted into the water receiving cavity 221 of the water receiving part 22. The diversion structure can include at least one diversion portion 43, the diversion portion 43 is strip-shaped, and the diversion portion 43 can be formed as a diversion groove or a diversion rib. For example, the diversion portion 43 can be one or more, the diversion portion 43 extends obliquely downward, and when there are multiple diversion portions 43, the multiple diversion portions 43 are arranged at intervals substantially in the up-down direction. The diversion portion 43 diverts the water flowing on the outer wall surface of the air guiding component 40 obliquely downward to the diversion surface 42, and then is diverted into the water receiving cavity 221 of the water receiving part 22 through the diversion surface 42.
[0135] It should be noted that the "multiple" as used in the present invention means two or more.
[0136] In some alternative embodiments of the present invention, the included angle between the diversion portion 43 and the horizontal direction ranges from 30° to 60°, for example, the included angle between the diversion portion 43 and the horizontal direction is 45°. Thereby, the diversion portion 43 can play a better diversion role and improve the diversion effect.
[0137] In some alternative embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 8 , Figure 18 and Figure 20 , a wind-dispersing structure 41 through which air flow can pass is formed on the outer wall surface of the air guiding member 40. In this way, when the air guiding member 40 is used in an air conditioner, the air conditioner can have a normal air supply mode and a draft-free mode. In the normal air supply mode, the air guiding member 40 rotates to a position opening the air outlet end of the air outlet passage 21. At this time, the air guiding member 40 functions to adjust the air direction. In the draft-free mode, the air guiding member 40 rotates to a position closing the air outlet end of the air outlet passage 21, and the air flow flows into the room through the wind-dispersing structure 41 on the air guiding member 40, so that the air flow can be dispersed, and thus a draft-free effect can be achieved.
[0138] Among them, the guiding portion 43 can be formed as a guiding groove, and a part of the wind-dispersing structure 41 is formed on the bottom wall of the guiding groove. This makes the guiding structure integrated with the wind-dispersing structure 41, reduces the obtrusiveness of the guiding structure, makes the appearance of the air guiding member 40 more beautiful, and facilitates the formation of the guiding groove and the arrangement of the wind-dispersing structure 41.
[0139] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 8 , Figure 18 and Figure 20 , the wind-dispersing structure 41 can include multiple groups of wind-dispersing holes 411 arranged side by side. Each group of wind-dispersing holes 411 can include a plurality of wind-dispersing holes 411 arranged obliquely. The extending direction of the guiding portion 43 can be parallel to the arrangement direction of the plurality of wind-dispersing holes 411 in the group of wind-dispersing holes 411, and at least a part of the wind-dispersing holes 411 in the group of wind-dispersing holes 411 are formed on the bottom wall of the guiding portion 43. Thereby, the obtrusiveness of the guiding structure can be significantly reduced, the appearance of the air guiding member 40 is made more beautiful, and it is more convenient for the formation of the guiding groove and the arrangement of the wind-dispersing structure 41.
[0140] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 9 , Figures 17 - 20 , the air guiding assembly 401 includes: an outer air guiding plate 4 and an inner air guiding assembly 402. The outer wall surface of the outer air guiding plate 4 constitutes the outer wall surface of the air guiding assembly 401, and the wind-dispersing structure 41 is formed on the outer air guiding plate 4. The inner air guiding assembly 402 can include an inner air guiding plate 5, a guide vane assembly 61, and a louver mechanism 62. The inner air guiding plate 5 can be connected to the outer air guiding plate 4. The guide vane assembly 61 is arranged on the inner air guiding plate 5, and the louver mechanism 62 is arranged on the side of the inner air guiding plate 5 away from the outer air guiding plate 4. Thus, the air guiding member 40 not only functions to adjust the air direction but also has a role in air dispersion, enabling the air conditioner to achieve a draft-free mode and a normal air supply mode.
[0141] Referring to Figure 5 , Figure 7 andFigure 17 According to an embodiment of the second aspect of the present invention, the air outlet frame assembly includes: an air outlet frame 20 and a wind guiding member 40. At least one air outlet channel 21 is formed on the air outlet frame 20. For example, one air outlet channel 21 can be formed on the air outlet frame 20, or multiple air outlet channels 21 can be formed on the air outlet frame 20. For example, two air outlet channels 21 are formed on the air outlet frame 20. The wind guiding member 40 is the wind guiding member 40 according to the above-mentioned first aspect embodiment of the present invention. The wind guiding member 40 is rotatably arranged in the air outlet channel 21, and the connecting member 7 rotatably passes through the rotation hole 224. For example, the connecting portion 71 of the connecting member 7 rotatably passes through the rotation hole 224. Among them, the wind guiding driving mechanism 30 for driving the wind guiding member 40 to rotate can be arranged on the air outlet frame 20 and on one side of the air outlet channel 21.
[0142] Optionally, a bushing 23 can be arranged in the rotation hole 224, and the connecting portion 71 passes through the bushing 23, which can reduce the friction and wear between the connecting portion 71 and the rotation hole 224.
[0143] In some alternative embodiments of the present invention, a drain hole may not be provided on the water receiving portion 22, and the condensed water received in the water receiving cavity 221 of the water receiving portion 22 can be evaporated by natural air drying.
[0144] In some other embodiments of the present invention, a drainage channel can be provided on the water receiving portion 22, and the condensed water flowing into the water receiving portion 22 can flow into the heat exchanger water receiving tray at the bottom surface of the heat exchanger component through this drainage channel. For example, the heat exchanger water receiving tray can be connected to the water receiving portion 22, and the heat exchanger water receiving tray is lower than the water receiving portion 22.
[0145] According to the air outlet frame assembly of the embodiment of the present invention, by providing the above-mentioned wind guiding member 40, the disassembly and assembly operation of the wind guiding member 40 is simple and convenient, the disassembly and assembly efficiency of the wind guiding member 40 is improved, the maintenance and cleaning of the wind guiding assembly 401 are facilitated, and the loss of the connecting member 7 on the wind guiding assembly 401 can be prevented.
[0146] According to some embodiments of the present invention, with reference to Figure 21 and Figure 22 , the outward-facing side wall of the water receiving portion 22 can be the outer side wall 222, and a water retaining rib 223 can be formed on the inner bottom wall of the water receiving cavity 221. The water retaining rib 223 is arranged adjacent to the outer side wall 222 and is spaced apart from the outer side wall 222. Thus, by providing the water retaining rib 223 on the inner bottom wall of the water receiving cavity 221 and making the water retaining rib 223 adjacent to the outward-facing side wall of the water receiving portion 22, the entry of external air flow into the water receiving portion 22 or the flow of air flow in the water receiving portion 22 to the outside can be blocked, thereby reducing the amount of condensed water generated due to the intersection of cold and hot air near the outer side wall 222 of the water receiving portion 22, and further effectively preventing condensed water from dripping onto the ground.
[0147] Optionally, referring to Figure 21 and Figure 22 , the water retaining rib 223 can extend circumferentially along the outer side wall 222. Thereby, the effect of blocking the air flow can be better achieved, so that the amount of condensed water generated by the intersection of hot and cold air near the outer side wall 222 of the water receiving part 22 can be better reduced, and further effectively prevent the condensed water from dripping onto the ground.
[0148] Optionally, referring to Figure 21 and Figure 22 , the guiding surface 42 is adjacent to the bottom edge of the water receiving part 22 and is located inside the water retaining rib 223 (the "inside of the water retaining rib 223" refers to the side of the water retaining rib 223 away from the outer side wall 222). Thus, the condensed water guided to the bottom edge of the guiding surface 42 can flow into the part of the water receiving cavity 221 located inside the water retaining rib 223, so as to prevent the condensed water from accumulating in a local small area in the water receiving cavity 221 and overflowing.
[0149] Optionally, the water retaining rib 223 can be one or more. When there are multiple water retaining ribs 223, the multiple water retaining ribs 223 are arranged at intervals in the radial direction of the water receiving cavity 221. The water retaining rib 223 can extend circumferentially along the outer side wall 222, and the guiding surface 42 adjacent to the bottom edge of the water receiving part 22 is located inside the innermost water retaining rib 223.
[0150] Referring to Figures 1 - 5 , the air conditioner according to the third aspect embodiment of the present invention includes: the air outlet frame assembly according to the second aspect embodiment of the present invention above.
[0151] By providing the above-mentioned air outlet frame assembly, the disassembly and assembly operation of the air guiding component 40 is simple and convenient, the disassembly and assembly efficiency of the air guiding component 40 is improved, the maintenance and cleaning of the air guiding assembly 401 are facilitated, and the loss of the connecting member 7 on the air guiding assembly 401 can be prevented.
[0152] Optionally, the air conditioner can be a split air conditioner or an integrated air conditioner. When the air conditioner is a split air conditioner, the air conditioner can be a split wall-mounted air conditioner or a split floor-standing air conditioner. When the air conditioner is a split air conditioner, the air conditioner includes an air conditioner indoor unit 100 and an air conditioner outdoor unit, wherein the air conditioner indoor unit includes the above-mentioned air outlet frame 20 assembly.
[0153] Specifically, the air conditioner indoor unit 100 includes a housing 10, a heat exchanger component, a fan component, an air outlet frame 20, and a wind guiding component 40. The housing 10 includes a front panel 11, a rear panel 12, a top cover 14, and a base 13. The air outlet frame 20 is connected to the front end of the rear panel 12, the front panel 11 is connected to the front side of the air outlet frame 20, and the top cover 14 and the base 13 are respectively connected to the upper and lower sides of the rear panel 12. The heat exchanger component and the fan component are both disposed inside the housing 10 and within the space defined by the air outlet frame 20 and the housing 10. At least one air outlet channel 21 is formed on the air outlet frame 20, and the wind guiding component 40 is rotatably disposed in the air outlet channel 21. An air outlet 16 is formed at a position on the housing 10 opposite to the air outlet side of the air outlet channel 21. The air outlet 16 can be defined between the front panel 11 and the rear panel 12, and an air inlet 15 is formed on the rear panel 12. A switch door 17 can also be provided at the air outlet 16. The switch door 17 is slidably disposed on the housing 10 along the circumferential direction of the housing 10. By sliding the switch door 17, the opening and closing of the air outlet 16 can be achieved.
[0154] When the air conditioner is operating, the switch door 17 opens the air outlet 16, and the fan component operates to drive the external air flow to enter the housing 10 from the air inlet 15 and exchange heat with the heat exchanger component. The heated air flow passes through the air outlet channel 21. During the process of the air flow passing through the air outlet channel 21, the air flow is guided or diffused by the wind guiding component 40, and finally blows out from the air outlet 16 into the room, thereby adjusting the indoor environmental temperature. When the air conditioner is shut down, the switch door 17 closes the air outlet 16.
[0155] Optionally, the operating mode of the air conditioner can include a normal air supply mode and a no-wind-sensation mode. When the air conditioner is in the normal air supply mode, the wind guiding component 40 rotates to a position where the air outlet end of the air outlet channel 21 is opened, and the air flow mainly flows from one side or both sides of the wind guiding component 40 to the air outlet 16. When the air conditioner is in the no-wind-sensation mode, the wind guiding component 40 rotates to a position where the air outlet end of the air outlet channel 21 is closed, and the air flow passes through the wind guiding component 40 and is diffused by the wind guiding component 40, and blows out more gently from the air outlet 16.
[0156] Optionally, one air outlet channel 21 can be formed on the air outlet frame 20. At this time, there is one air outlet 16 and it is opposite to the air outlet channel 21. The fan component can include one impeller, and the impeller can be a cross-flow impeller.
[0157] Optionally, two air outlet channels 21 can also be formed on the air outlet frame 20. At this time, there are two air outlets 16, and the two air outlets 16 are respectively opposite to the two air outlet channels 21. The fan component can include two impellers, and both of the two impellers can be cross-flow impellers. The two impellers are respectively arranged corresponding to the two air outlet channels 21, and the two impellers respectively drive the air flow into the corresponding air outlet channels 21.
[0158] In some embodiments of the present invention, the air conditioner indoor unit 100 may include a heat exchange unit and an air treatment unit. The heat exchange unit and the air treatment unit are located within the housing 10, and the heat exchange unit and the air treatment unit may be arranged along the length direction of the housing 10. Among them, the heat exchange unit includes the above-mentioned heat exchanger component, fan component, air outlet frame 20, and air guiding component 40. The air treatment unit may have at least one of the functions of fresh air, humidification, and purification, and the air treatment unit can improve the indoor environmental quality.
