[0082] The following describes embodiments of the present invention in detail. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended only to explain the present invention and are not to be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0083] The following describes an air guide member 4 according to an embodiment of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0084] like Figure 24-26 As shown ( Figure 25 The direction of the arrow is the flow direction of condensed water), according to the air guide component 4 of the first embodiment of the present invention, the air guide component 4 is rotatably arranged in the air outlet channel 11 of the air conditioner, and the air guide component 4 includes: an air guide assembly 50 and a water receiving tray 48.

[0085] The water receiving tray 48 may define a water receiving cavity 481 therein. The water receiving tray 48 may be disposed on the bottom surface of the air guide assembly 50 and connected to the air guide assembly 50. The water receiving tray 48 may receive condensed water on the air guide assembly 50, and the condensed water on the air guide assembly 50 may flow downward into the water receiving cavity 481 of the water receiving tray 48.

[0086] When the air conditioner is in cooling operation, the condensed water generated on the air guide assembly 50 flows downward along the air guide assembly 50 into the water receiving pan 48. The water receiving pan 48 can receive the condensed water generated on the air guide assembly 50, which can effectively prevent the condensed water generated on the air guide assembly 50 from dripping onto the ground or other components in the air conditioner (for example, dripping onto the electric control box, motor and other components in the air conditioner, which can easily cause safety hazards). This can effectively prevent the inconvenience caused by the condensed water dripping onto the ground to the user and can reduce safety hazards. During the rotation of the air guide assembly 50, even if a part of the air guide assembly 50 is located outside the air outlet 106 of the air conditioner, since the water receiving pan 48 is provided on the bottom surface of the air guide assembly 50, and since the water receiving pan 48 rotates together with the air guide assembly 50, no matter where the air guide assembly 50 rotates to, the water receiving pan 48 can receive the condensed water on the air guide assembly 50.

[0087] The portion of the outer wall of the air guide assembly 50 adjacent to the water tray 48 can be formed as a guide surface 415. The guide surface 415 can extend to the bottom surface of the air guide assembly 50. The horizontal projection of the bottom edge of the guide surface 415 adjacent to the water tray 48 lies within the horizontal projection of the water receiving chamber 481. As condensed water on the air guide assembly 50 flows downward along the outer wall of the air guide assembly 50, the horizontal projection of the bottom edge of the guide surface 415 lies within the horizontal projection of the water receiving chamber 481. This allows the guide surface 415 at the bottom of the air guide assembly 50 to guide the condensed water into the water receiving chamber 481 of the water tray 48, thereby preventing the condensed water on the outer wall of the air guide assembly 50 from dripping onto the ground. It should be noted that the "outer wall of the air guide assembly 50" refers to the outward-facing wall of the air guide assembly 50 when the air guide assembly 50 is in a position that closes the outlet end of the air outlet channel 11.

[0088] Optionally, the air guide assembly 50 may be an air guide plate, and the air guide assembly 50 may also include an air guide plate and other air guide structures.

[0089] According to the embodiment of the present invention, the air guide component 4 is provided with a water collecting pan 48 on the bottom surface of the air guide component 50, so that the condensed water generated on the air guide component 50 can be received, and even if a part of the air guide component 4 is located outside the air outlet 106 of the air conditioner during the rotation of the air guide component 4, the water collecting pan 48 can still receive the condensed water generated on the air guide component 50; and, by forming the part of the outer wall surface of the air guide component 50 adjacent to the water collecting pan 48 into a guide surface 415, and making the projection of the bottom edge of the guide surface 415 on the horizontal plane be located within the projection of the water collecting chamber 481 on the horizontal plane, the condensed water generated by the air guide component 50 can be guided through the guide surface 415 to the water collecting chamber 481 of the water collecting pan 48, thereby effectively preventing the condensed water on the air guide component 50 from dripping onto the ground and other components in the air conditioner, thereby effectively avoiding the inconvenience caused to the user by the condensed water dripping onto the ground, and also reducing safety hazards.

[0090] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the horizontal projection of the guide surface 415 lies within the horizontal projection of the water receiving pan 48. This ensures that when condensed water on the outer air deflector 41 flows downward onto the guide surface 415, it flows entirely into the water receiving pan 48, effectively preventing the condensed water from falling outside the water receiving pan 48 and causing safety hazards and inconvenience.

[0091] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 26 and Figure 29 At least a portion of the guide surface 415 is located within the water receiving chamber 481. For example, a portion of the guide surface 415 may be located within the water receiving chamber 481, or the entire guide surface 415 may be located within the water receiving chamber 481. By ensuring that at least a portion of the guide surface 415 is located within the water receiving chamber 481, it is possible to better ensure that condensed water flowing downward from the air guide assembly 50 to the guide surface 415 is directed into the water receiving chamber 481 of the water receiving tray 48. The portion of the inner sidewall of the water receiving chamber 481 that faces the guide surface 415 may be spaced apart from the guide surface 415, thereby forming a guide space 483 between the inner sidewall of the water receiving chamber 481 and the guide surface 415. By separating the portion of the inner wall of the water receiving chamber 481 opposite to the guide surface 415 from the guide surface 415, when the condensed water on the air guide assembly 50 flows downward to the guide surface 415, the guide space 483 can provide a flow space for the condensed water flowing onto the guide surface 415, thereby preventing the condensed water flowing onto the guide surface 415 from falling outside the water receiving tray 48, thereby further effectively preventing the condensed water on the air guide assembly 50 from falling to the ground.

[0092] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 26 and Figure 29The portion of the outer wall of the air guide assembly 50 adjacent to the water receiving tray 48 is recessed inward (the term "recessed inward" refers to recessing toward the center of the air conditioner, relative to the position of the air guide component 4 at the outlet end closing the air outlet channel 11) to form a guide surface 415. This recesses the guide surface 415 inward relative to the rest of the outer wall of the air guide assembly, allowing condensed water on the air guide assembly 50 to flow inward when it flows downward to the guide surface 415. Under the guiding action of the guide surface 415, the water flows into the water receiving cavity 481 of the water receiving tray 48, thereby effectively preventing the condensed water on the air guide assembly 50 from falling onto the ground.

[0093] In some optional embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 26 and Figure 29 At least a portion of the guide surface 415 is located within the water receiving chamber 481. The portion of the outer wall of the air guide assembly 50 adjacent to the water receiving tray 48 is recessed inward to form the guide surface 415. Furthermore, the portion of the inner wall of the water receiving chamber 481 that faces the guide surface 415 can be conveniently spaced apart from the guide surface 415. For example, a portion of the guide surface 415 can be located within the water receiving chamber 481, or the entire guide surface 415 can be located within the water receiving chamber 481. By ensuring that at least a portion of the guide surface 415 is located within the water receiving chamber 481, it is possible to better ensure that condensed water flowing downward from the air guide assembly 50 to the guide surface 415 is directed into the water receiving chamber 481 of the water receiving tray 48. The portion of the inner wall of the water receiving chamber 481 opposite to the guide surface 415 can be spaced apart from the guide surface 415, thereby forming a guide space 483 between the inner wall of the water receiving chamber 481 and the guide surface 415, which can facilitate the formation of the above-mentioned guide space 483.

[0094] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 26 and Figure 29 , at least a portion of the guide surface 415 extends inwardly and obliquely in the direction from top to bottom (the "extending inwardly and obliquely" refers to extending inwardly and obliquely in the direction adjacent to the center of the air conditioner, relative to the position of the air guide component 4 at the air outlet end of the air outlet channel 11). For example, a portion of the guide surface 415 may extend inwardly and obliquely in the direction from top to bottom, or the entire guide surface 415 may extend inwardly and obliquely in the direction from top to bottom. By extending at least a portion of the guide surface 415 inwardly and obliquely in the direction from top to bottom, when the condensed water on the air guide assembly 50 flows downward to the guide surface 415, the guide surface 415 can guide the condensed water downwardly and inwardly into the water receiving chamber 481 of the water receiving tray 48, thereby allowing the guide surface 415 to play a better guiding role.

[0095] In some embodiments of the present invention, reference Figure 26The guide surface 415 may include a first guide portion 4151 and a second guide portion 4152. The first guide portion 4151 may be connected to the upper side of the second guide portion 4152. Both the first guide portion 4151 and the second guide portion 4152 may extend inwardly and tilted from top to bottom. The first guide portion 4151 extends inwardly and tilted from top to bottom, while the second guide portion 4152 extends inwardly and tilted from top to bottom. The first guide portion 4151 is located above the water receiving tray 48, and at least a portion of the second guide portion 4152 is located within the water receiving chamber 481. For example, a portion of the second guide portion 4152 may be located within the water receiving chamber 481 of the water receiving tray 48, or the entire second guide portion 4152 may be located within the water receiving chamber 481. The angle between the first guide portion 4151 and the vertical direction is greater than the angle between the second guide portion 4152 and the vertical direction. In this way, by setting a larger angle between the first guide part 4151 located on the upper side and the vertical direction, the condensed water on the air guide assembly 50 can be guided to the position directly above the water receiving chamber 481 under the guiding action of the first guide part 4151. In the process of the condensed water flowing downward from the first guide part 4151 to the second guide part 4152, and flowing from the second guide part 4152 to the water receiving chamber 481, since the angle between the second guide part 4152 and the vertical direction is set to be smaller, the condensed water can flow quickly along the second guide part 4152 to the water receiving chamber 481.

[0096] In some optional embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 26 The outer wall of the air guide assembly 50, excluding the guide surface 415, is an outer main surface 414, which is connected to the upper side of the guide surface 415. The guide surface 415 may further include a first transition portion 4154 located above the first guide portion 4151. The first transition portion 4154 may be connected between the outer main surface 414 and the first guide portion 4151, and may be in an outwardly convex arc shape. By connecting the first guide portion 4151 and the remaining portion of the outer wall of the air guide assembly 50 excluding the guide surface 415 (i.e., the outer main surface 414) through the first transition portion 4154 and making the first transition portion 4154 an arc convex outward, a smooth transition can be made between the first guide portion 4151 and the outer main surface 414. In this way, when the condensed water on the outer main surface 414 flows to the first guide portion 4151, the condensed water can flow along the first transition portion 4154 to the first guide portion 4151, making the flow of the condensed water smoother and reducing the flow resistance of the condensed water.

[0097] Optionally, the angle between the first guide portion 4151 and the vertical direction can be 40-50°, for example, the angle between the first guide portion 4151 and the vertical direction can be 45°; the angle between the second guide portion 4152 and the vertical direction can be 25-35°, for example, the angle between the second guide portion 4152 and the vertical direction can be 28°.

[0098] In some optional embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 26 The guide surface 415 may further include a third guide portion 4153 located on the upper side of the second guide portion 4152. The third guide portion 4153 may be connected between the first guide portion 4151 and the second guide portion 4152. The angle between the third guide portion 4153 and the vertical direction is smaller than the angle between the second guide portion 4152 and the vertical direction. After the condensed water on the outer main body surface 414 flows downward to the first guide part 4151, it flows through the third guide part 4153 and then flows to the second guide part 4152. By setting the third guide part 4153 with a smaller angle with the vertical direction between the first guide part 4151 and the second guide part 4152, the condensed water is guided to the position directly above the water receiving chamber 481 in the first guide part 4151, and then through the guiding effect of the third guide part 4153, the condensed water can be guided more quickly to the second guide part 4152, and then through the rapid guidance of the second guide part 4152, it is finally guided into the water receiving chamber 481.

[0099] Optionally, the angle between the third guide portion 4153 and the vertical direction can be 0-10°, for example, the angle between the third guide portion 4153 and the vertical direction can be 0°, that is, the third guide portion 4153 extends along the vertical direction, so that the condensed water can flow more quickly along the third guide portion 4153 to the second guide portion 4152.

[0100] Further, refer to Figure 26 The guide surface 415 may further include a second transition portion 4155 located above the third guide portion 4153. The second transition portion 4155 connects the third guide portion 4153 and the first guide portion 4151 and has an inwardly concave arc shape. By connecting the third guide portion 4153 and the first guide portion 4151 via the second transition portion 4155 and having the second transition portion 4155 have an inwardly concave arc shape, a smooth transition can be achieved between the first guide portion 4151 and the third guide portion 4153. As condensed water flowing through the first guide portion 4151 flows to the third guide portion 4153, it can flow along the second transition portion 4155 to the third guide portion 4153, thereby making the flow of the condensed water smoother and reducing the flow resistance of the condensed water.

[0101] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 26At least a portion of the inner sidewall of the water receiving chamber 481 is formed as a drainage surface 482. The drainage surface 482 extends to the upper end surface of the water receiving tray 48. The drainage surface 482 extends obliquely from top to bottom toward the center of the water receiving chamber 481. This increases the water receiving area of ​​the water receiving chamber 481. When condensed water from the air guide assembly 50 falls onto the drainage surface 482 of the water receiving tray of the air guide assembly, the drainage effect of the drainage surface 482 can drain the condensed water into the water receiving chamber 481, further reducing the chance of condensed water from the air guide assembly 50 falling outside the water receiving tray 48, thereby alleviating safety hazards and reducing inconvenience caused to the user.

[0102] Optionally, refer to Figure 26 The part of the guide surface 415 located in the water receiving chamber 481 is opposite to the drainage surface 482 and is spaced apart, so that the space defined between the guide surface 415 and the drainage surface 482 can constitute at least a part of the above-mentioned guide space 483. The condensed water flowing downward from the air guide component 50 to the guide surface 415 and the condensed water falling from the air guide component 50 to the drainage surface 482 can both be accommodated in the guide space 483 and be quickly and smoothly guided into the water receiving chamber 481.

[0103] For example, refer to Figure 26 In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the flow guide surface 415 includes the aforementioned first flow guide portion 4151, the second flow guide portion 4152, the third flow guide portion 4153, the first transition portion 4154, and the second transition portion 4155. The upper portion of the inner sidewall of the water receiving chamber 481 forms the flow guide surface 482. The second flow guide portion 4152 is entirely located within the water receiving chamber 481, and the third flow guide portion 4153 is located directly above the water receiving chamber 481. The flow guide surface 482 and the second flow guide portion 4152 are opposite and spaced apart from each other, defining at least a portion of a flow guide space 483 between the flow guide surface 482 and the second flow guide portion 4152. Condensed water on the outer wall of the air guide assembly 50 flows downward along the outer main surface 414 to the guide surface 415. As the condensed water on the outer main surface 414 flows downward to the guide surface 415, it sequentially flows through the first transition portion 4154, the first guide portion 4151, the second transition portion 4155, the third guide portion 4153, and the second guide portion 4152, and finally flows into the water receiving cavity 481 of the water receiving tray 48. Condensed water from the air guide assembly 50 that falls onto the guide surface 482 also flows into the water receiving cavity 481 of the water receiving tray 48 through the drainage effect of the guide surface 482, thereby effectively reducing the chance of condensed water from the air guide assembly 50 falling outside the water receiving tray 48, thereby alleviating safety hazards and reducing inconvenience caused to the user.

[0104] For another example, in some other specific embodiments of the present invention, the guide surface 415 includes the above-mentioned first guide portion 4151 and the second guide portion 4152, the angle between the first guide portion 4151 and the vertical direction can be 90°, the angle between the second guide portion 4152 and the vertical direction can be 0°, the first guide portion 4151 and the outer main body surface 414 can be transitionally connected by a circular arc surface, and the first guide portion 4151 and the second guide portion 4152 can be transitionally connected by a circular arc surface.

[0105] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 27-Figure 29 Combined with the diagram Figure 1-Figure 23 The outer wall of the air guide component 4 is formed with a wind dispersing structure 411 through which air can pass. Thus, when the air guide component 4 is used in an air conditioner, the air conditioner can have a normal air supply mode and a windless mode. In the normal air supply mode, the air guide component 4 rotates to a position that opens the outlet end of the air outlet channel 11. At this time, the air guide component 4 plays the role of adjusting the wind direction. In the windless mode, the air guide component 4 rotates to a position that closes the outlet end of the air outlet channel 11. The airflow flows into the room through the wind dispersing structure 411 on the air guide component 4, thereby dispersing the airflow and achieving a windless feeling.

[0106] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figures 24-34 The wind guide assembly 50 includes an outer wind guide plate 41 and an inner wind guide assembly 501. The outer wall surface of the outer wind guide plate 41 constitutes the outer wall surface of the wind guide assembly 50. The bottom surface of the outer wind guide plate 41 can define a flow channel 484 for water to pass through with the inner bottom wall surface of the water receiving chamber 481. For example, the bottom surface of the outer wind guide plate 41 can be spaced apart from the inner bottom wall surface of the water receiving chamber 481 to form the flow channel 484. By defining the flow channel 484 for water to pass through between the bottom surface of the outer wind guide plate 41 and the water receiving chamber 481, two portions of the water receiving chamber 481 located on opposite sides of the outer wind guide plate 41 can be connected.

[0107] Thus, a flow channel 484 is formed between the bottom surface of the outer air deflector 41 and the inner bottom wall of the water receiving chamber 481. This allows condensed water from the outer air deflector 41 to flow through the guide surface 415 into the water receiving chamber 481 of the water receiving pan 48 and promptly flow through the flow channel 484 to other parts of the water receiving chamber 481, thereby preventing condensed water from accumulating in certain areas of the water receiving chamber 481 and overflowing. The inner air guide assembly 501 is disposed on the outer air deflector 41 and is located on the inner side of the outer air deflector 41 (the inner side refers to the side of the outer air deflector 41 adjacent to the center of the entire machine when the air guide component 4 rotates to the outlet end that closes the air outlet channel 11). The water receiving pan 48 can be disposed on the bottom surface of the inner air guide assembly 501 and connected to the inner air guide assembly 501, thereby achieving a connection between the water receiving pan 48 and the air guide assembly 50.

[0108] According to some optional embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figures 24-33 The inner air guide assembly 501 may include an inner air guide plate 43, which may be connected to the outer air guide plate 41. A water receiving tray 48 may be provided on the bottom surface of the inner air guide plate 43 and connected to the inner air guide plate 43, thereby enabling connection between the water receiving tray 48 and the air guide assembly 50. The inner air guide plate 43 and the water receiving tray 48 may be integrally formed, thereby reducing the number of assembly steps for the air guide component 4. Alternatively, the inner air guide plate 43 and the water receiving tray 48 may be independently formed parts, which are then independently processed and assembled. In this way, while the air guide assembly 50 has the same structure, water receiving trays 48 of different structures may be selected according to actual conditions.

[0109] In some optional embodiments of the present invention, a notch 434 may be formed on the bottom surface of the inner air guide plate 43, and the notch 434 may connect the two parts of the water receiving chamber 481 located on opposite sides of the inner air guide plate 43. In this way, the two parts of the water receiving chamber 481 located on opposite sides of the inner air guide plate 43 can be connected to each other, so that the condensed water falling into the water receiving chamber 481 can flow to other parts of the water receiving chamber 481 through the notch 434, so that the condensed water is evenly distributed in the water receiving chamber 481, preventing the condensed water from accumulating too much in a local area of ​​the water receiving chamber 481 and overflowing.

[0110] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the bottom surface of the water receiving tray 48 may be provided with a water absorbing member 486. By providing the water absorbing member 486 on the bottom surface of the water receiving tray 48, the water absorbing member 486 can absorb the condensed water on the bottom surface of the water receiving tray 48, thereby preventing the condensed water on the bottom surface of the water receiving tray 48 from falling to the ground or other components in the air conditioner. For example, during the rotation of the air guide component 4, even if a portion of the air guide component 4 is located outside the air outlet 106 of the air conditioner, since the water absorbing member 486 is provided on the bottom surface of the air guide component 4, the water absorbing member 486 can absorb the condensed water on the bottom surface of the air guide component 4, thereby preventing the condensed water on the bottom surface of the air guide component 4 from falling to the ground. Optionally, the water absorbing member 486 may be a sponge member.

[0111] According to some optional embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 26 The projection of the inner bottom wall of the water receiving chamber 481 on the horizontal plane is located within the projection of the water absorbing member 486 on the horizontal plane. In this way, the positions on the bottom surface of the water receiving tray 48 where condensed water is easily generated are covered by the water absorbing member 486, so that the water absorbing member 486 can better absorb the condensed water generated on the bottom surface of the water receiving tray 48.

[0112] According to some optional embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 26 The bottom surface of the water receiving tray 48 is formed with a receiving groove 485, and the water absorber 486 is disposed within the receiving groove 485. The provision of the receiving groove 485 facilitates the installation of the water absorber 486. Optionally, the bottom surface of the water absorber 486 is flush with the bottom surface of the water receiving tray 48, which not only makes the structure compact but also allows the water absorber 486 to have a larger volume, thereby providing a greater water absorption capacity.

[0113] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figures 24-33The wind guide assembly 50 includes: an outer wind guide plate 41 and an inner wind guide assembly 501. The inner wind guide assembly 501 can be arranged on the outer wind guide plate 41 and the inner wind guide assembly 501 is located on the inner side of the outer wind guide plate 41. The outer wall surface of the outer wind guide plate 41 constitutes the outer wall surface of the wind guide component 4. The outer wind guide plate 41 can be formed with a wind dispersion structure 411 for airflow to pass through. The wind dispersion structure 411 can include a plurality of wind dispersion holes. The inner wind guide assembly 501 can include an inner wind guide plate 43, a guide vane assembly 46 and a louver mechanism 47. The inner wind guide plate 43 can be connected to the outer wind guide plate 41. The guide vane assembly 46 can be arranged on the inner wind guide plate 43. The guide vane assembly 46 can include rotatable blades 461. The blades 461 are arranged in a plurality of intervals along the length direction (e.g., the up and down direction) of the inner wind guide plate 43. The blades 461 are located between the outer wind guide plate 41 and the inner wind guide plate 43. The inner air guide plate 43 is formed with air holes 433 at positions opposite the moving blades 461. The number of air holes 433 is the same as the number of moving blades 461, and they correspond one-to-one. A louver mechanism 47 is provided on the side of the inner air guide plate 43 away from the outer air guide plate 41 to adjust the direction of airflow. The water receiving tray 48 is connected to at least one of the outer air guide plate 41 and the inner air guide plate 43. For example, the water receiving tray 48 can be connected to the outer air guide plate 41, the water receiving tray 48 can also be connected to the inner air guide plate 43, or the water receiving tray 48 can be connected to both the outer air guide plate 41 and the inner air guide plate 43.

[0114] When the air guide component 4 is used in an air conditioner, the airflow can first flow through the plurality of moving blades 461. The rotating moving blades 461 can form a swirling flow. The airflow passing through the moving blades 461 passes through the air holes 433, and then is guided by the louver mechanism 47 to the outer air guide plate 41. Finally, it is blown into the room through the wind dispersing structure 411 on the outer air guide plate 41. In this way, the airflow after passing through the air guide assembly 50 can be made softer and more similar to natural wind.

[0115] For example, in some specific embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figures 24-33 The air guide assembly 50 includes an outer air guide plate 41 and an inner air guide assembly. The inner air guide assembly includes an inner air guide plate 43, a guide vane assembly 46, and a louver mechanism 47. The inner air guide plate 43 can be connected to the outer air guide plate 41. A water receiving tray 48 is provided on the bottom surface of the inner air guide plate 43 and is connected to the inner air guide plate 43. The guide vane assembly 46 and the louver mechanism 47 are both provided on the inner air guide plate 43. The guide vane assembly 46 can include stationary vanes 462 and rotatable moving vanes 461. The moving vanes 461 are arranged in a plurality of intervals in the vertical direction and are located between the outer air guide plate 41 and the inner air guide plate 43. Air holes 433 are formed on the inner air guide plate 43 at positions opposite the moving vanes 461. The number of air holes 433 is the same as the number of moving vanes 461, and they correspond one-to-one. Each air hole 433 is provided with a stationary vane 462, and the stationary vane 462 is fixed relative to the inner air guide plate 43.

[0116] The louver mechanism 47 is disposed on a side of the inner air deflector 43 away from the outer air deflector 41. The louver mechanism 47 includes a connecting rod 471 and a plurality of louvers 472. The connecting rod 471 extends and is movable in the vertical direction. The plurality of louvers 472 are spaced apart in the vertical direction. Each louver 472 is rotatably connected to the connecting rod 471 and the inner air deflector 43. The number of louvers 472 is the same as the number of air holes 433, and they correspond one-to-one. Specifically, each stationary blade 462 arranged in the air hole 433 has a stationary blade hub 4621, each moving blade 461 has a moving blade shaft 4611, and each louver 472 has a louver shaft 4721. The louver shaft 4721 of each louver 472 is connected to the moving blade shaft 4611 of the corresponding moving blade 461 and is relatively fixed. The moving blade shaft 4611 of each moving blade 461 is rotatably engaged in the corresponding stationary blade hub 4621. Each moving blade 461 is connected to the louver shaft 4721, and when the louver shaft 4721 rotates, it can synchronously drive the corresponding moving blade 461 to rotate.

[0117] Among them, reference Figures 8-11 The shutter drive mechanism 3 for driving the shutter mechanism 47 to move can be arranged below the shutter mechanism 47. The shutter drive mechanism 3 can include a shutter drive motor 31, a drive gear 32, and a drive rack 33. The drive gear 32 is connected and fixed to the motor shaft of the shutter drive motor 31. The drive gear 32 is engaged with the drive rack 33, and the drive rack 33 is connected to the connecting rod 471. When the shutter drive motor 31 is working, it drives the drive gear 32 to rotate. Through the engagement of the drive gear 32 and the drive rack 33, the drive rack 33 can be driven to move in the up and down direction, thereby driving the connecting rod 471 to move in the up and down direction, and then driving the multiple shutters 472 to swing. The multiple shutters 472 can be swung to a set direction, or the multiple shutters 472 can be swung back and forth.

[0118] Further, refer to Figure 32 and Figure 33, the air guide component 4 may further include a sliding assembly 49, which is provided at the lower end of the air guide assembly 50. The sliding assembly 49 includes a mounting block 491, a slider 492 and a slide cover 493, wherein the mounting block 491 may be detachably mounted on the inner air guide plate 43. For example, a notch 434 is formed at the lower end of the inner air guide plate 43, and the mounting block 491 cooperates with the notch 434, and the mounting block 491 is fixed relative to the inner air guide plate 43, and the bottom surface of the mounting block 491 and the inner bottom wall surface of the water receiving chamber 481 may be spaced apart, so that the notch 434 plays the role of installing and accommodating the mounting block 491, while the part of the notch 434 located on the lower side of the mounting block 491 can also play the role of connecting the two parts of the water receiving chamber 481 located on the opposite sides of the inner air guide plate 43, that is, the notch 43 4 is located at the lower side of the mounting block 491 constitutes a communicating port, which can communicate with the two parts of the water receiving chamber 481 located on the opposite sides of the inner air guide plate 43, so that the two parts of the water receiving chamber 481 located on the opposite sides of the inner air guide plate 43 can be communicated with each other, so that the condensed water falling into the water receiving chamber 481 can flow to other parts of the water receiving chamber 481 through the notch 434, so that the condensed water is evenly distributed in the water receiving chamber 481, preventing the condensed water from accumulating too much in a local area of ​​the water receiving chamber 481 and overflowing.

[0119] The mounting block 491 is formed with a slide groove 4911 extending in the vertical direction. The slider 492 is slidably engaged with the slide groove 4911 in the vertical direction. The connecting rod 471 is connected to the slider 492, and the drive rack 33 is also connected to the slider 492. The sliding cover 493 can be provided on the side of the slider 492 connected to the connecting rod 471. When the louver drive motor 31 is in operation, it drives the drive gear 32 to rotate. The engagement between the drive gear 32 and the drive rack 33 drives the drive rack 33 to move in the vertical direction, thereby driving the slider 492 to move in the vertical direction. During the movement of the slider 492, it slides along the slide groove 4911, allowing the slider 492 to move stably in the vertical direction, thereby driving the connecting rod 471 to move stably in the vertical direction, thereby driving the multiple louvers 472 to swing, either to a set direction or to reciprocate.

[0120] Among them, reference Figure 30 、 Figure 31 、 Figure 33 as well as Figure 34The wind guide drive mechanism 2 for driving the wind guide component 4 to rotate can be arranged above the wind guide component 4, and the wind guide drive mechanism 2 can include a motor. The wind guide component 4 can also include a connector 40, and the connector 40 is arranged at the upper end of the wind guide assembly 50. The connector 40 has a locked state and an unlocked state. The connector 40 includes a connecting portion 401 and a positioning portion 402. The positioning portion 402 can be switched between a first position and a second position relative to the connecting portion 401. The wind guide drive mechanism 2 is suitable for being connected to the connecting portion 401 to drive the wind guide component 4 to rotate. An installation and positioning structure for installing and positioning the connector 40 on the wind guide assembly 50 is formed on the wind guide assembly 50. The installation and positioning structure includes a locking structure that cooperates with the positioning portion 402.

[0121] When the positioning portion 402 is engaged with the locking structure, the positioning portion 402 is in the first position and the connector 40 is in the locked state, thereby fixing the connector 40 relative to the air guide assembly 50 and connecting the air guide assembly 50 with the air guide drive mechanism 2, thereby conveniently achieving the connection between the air guide component 4 and the air guide drive mechanism 2. When the positioning portion 402 is disengaged from the locking structure, the positioning portion 402 is in the second position and the connector 40 is in the unlocked state. At this time, the connector 40 can be removed from the air guide assembly 50 in the downward direction, and at the same time, the connector 40 can be disengaged from the air guide drive mechanism 2, thereby achieving the separation of the air guide component 4 from the air guide drive mechanism 2, thereby facilitating the removal of the air guide component 4. For example, when the air guide component 4 needs maintenance, the air guide component 4 can be conveniently removed. When the air guide component 4 needs to be installed, the connecting member 40 can be installed on the air guide assembly 50. For example, the connecting part 401 can be connected to the air guide drive mechanism 2, and the positioning part 402 can be coordinated with the locking structure, so that the connecting member 40 can be installed and fixed on the air guide assembly 50, and at the same time, the connecting member 40 can also be connected to the air guide drive mechanism 2, so that the installation of the air guide component 4 can be easily achieved.

[0122] The positioning portion 402 can be switched between the first position and the second position by elastic deformation, and the positioning portion 402 is in a natural state in the first position. By applying a force to the positioning portion 402, the positioning portion 402 is deformed, so that the positioning portion 402 is switched between the first position and the second position, and the positioning portion 402 is conveniently matched with and disengaged from the locking structure, thereby conveniently achieving the unlocking and locking of the connector 40. In addition, by making the positioning portion 402 be in a natural state when in the first position, the connector 40 will not be affected by its own elastic restoring force when it is in the locked state, so that the connector 40 is more reliably and stably installed and fixed on the air guide assembly 50. Optionally, an elastic opening 4022 is formed on the positioning portion 402, so that the elastic deformation capacity of the positioning portion 402 can be further increased.

[0123] Specifically, refer to Figure 30 、 Figure 31 、 Figure 33 as well as Figure 34 The installation and positioning structure includes a mounting hole 451 and a locking structure formed on the inner air guide plate 43. The locking structure includes an elastic buckle 435. The mounting hole 451 is formed on the second inner plate portion 450 of the inner air guide plate 43. The connecting portion 401 is passed through the mounting hole 451 and is fixed relative to the mounting hole 451. A limiting protrusion 4021 is also formed on the positioning portion 402.

[0124] When the connecting member 40 is in a locked state, the connecting portion 401 is passed through the mounting hole 451 and is suitable for being connected to the wind guide drive mechanism 2, the positioning portion 402 abuts against the inner wind guide plate 43, the elastic clip 435 is located on opposite sides of the positioning portion 402 in the left and right directions and the elastic clip 435 is clamped with the positioning portion 402, the limiting protrusion 4021 abuts against the elastic clip 435 in the upper and lower directions, so that the connecting member 40 can be installed and fixed on the wind guide assembly 50, and then the connection between the wind guide component 4 and the wind guide drive mechanism 2 can be realized, making the assembly of the wind guide component 4 convenient.

[0125] When the connector 40 is in the unlocked state, the connector 401 can be disengaged from the mounting hole 451 in the downward direction, thereby disengaging the air guide component 4 from the air guide drive mechanism 2, thereby enabling the removal of the air guide component 4. An axial hole 4011 can be formed in the connector 401, into which the drive shaft of the air guide drive mechanism 2 engages. Applying a force in the upward and downward directions to the connector 40 can disengage the drive shaft of the air guide drive mechanism 2 from the axial hole 4011 of the connector 40, thereby disengaging the connector 40 from the mounting hole 451.

[0126] For example, when the air guide component 4 needs to be removed, the positioning portion 402 can be disengaged from the elastic snap 435, thereby placing the connector 40 in an unlocked state. At this time, a force can be applied to the connector 40 in a downward direction away from the air guide drive mechanism 2, thereby disengaging the connector 40 from the air guide drive mechanism 2, thereby conveniently achieving the removal of the air guide component 4. When the air guide component 4 needs to be installed on the entire machine, the connecting portion 401 of the connector 40 can be engaged with the mounting hole 451 on the inner air guide plate 43, thereby engaging the positioning portion 402 with the elastic snap 435, thereby securing the connector 40 to the air guide assembly 50 and simultaneously connecting the connecting portion 401 of the connector 40 to the air guide drive mechanism 2, thereby conveniently achieving the installation of the air guide component 4.

[0127] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the wind guide assembly 50 includes: an outer wind guide plate 41 and an inner wind guide assembly 501. The inner wind guide assembly 501 is provided on the outer wind guide plate 41 and is located on the inner side of the outer wind guide plate 41. A first limiting groove is provided on one of the outer wind guide plate 41 and the inner wind guide assembly 501, and a first limiting buckle is provided on the other of the outer wind guide plate 41 and the inner wind guide assembly 501. For example, the outer wind guide plate 41 is provided with a first limiting groove, and the inner wind guide assembly 501 is provided with a first limiting buckle; or, the inner wind guide assembly 501 is provided with a first limiting groove, and the outer wind guide plate 41 is provided with a first limiting buckle. The first limiting groove includes a sliding area and a limiting area, and the first limiting buckle is adapted to slide into the limiting area along the sliding area and cooperate with the limiting area.

[0128] When assembling the outer air guide plate 41 and the inner air guide component 501, the first limit buckle can be made to slide into the limit area through the sliding area of ​​the first limit groove, and the first limit buckle can be accommodated and fitted in the limit area of ​​the first limit groove, so that the outer air guide plate 41 and the inner air guide component 501 can be easily assembled; when it is necessary to remove the inner air guide component 501 from the outer air guide plate 41, the outer air guide plate 41 can be pushed so that the first limit buckle slides from the limit area of ​​the first limit groove to the sliding area, and finally disengages from the sliding area, thereby realizing the disengagement of the first limit buckle from the first limit groove, so that the outer air guide plate 41 can be removed from the inner air guide component 501, which is convenient for cleaning and maintenance of the outer air guide plate 41 and the inner air guide component 501. The connection structure design between the outer air guide plate 41 and the inner air guide assembly 501 makes the disassembly and assembly of the outer air guide plate 41 simple and easy, and the outer air guide plate 41 is easy to install, solving the problems of the previous fixed snap-on connection structure that is difficult to disassemble, the snaps are easy to break, and the operation is poor. This technical solution has the characteristics of easy disassembly, easy cleaning, easy installation, and high reliability.

[0129] According to some optional embodiments of the present invention, the inner air guide assembly 501 includes an inner air guide plate 43, a first limiting groove formed on a side wall of the inner air guide plate 43, a first limiting buckle formed on the outer air guide plate 41, and a sliding area extending through the side wall of the inner air guide plate 43 toward the outer air guide plate 41. When the outer air guide plate 41 is mounted on the inner air guide plate 43, the first limiting buckle on the outer air guide plate 41 can first enter the sliding area of ​​the first limiting groove. After the first limiting buckle enters the sliding area of ​​the first limiting groove, the outer air guide plate 41 is pushed, causing the first limiting buckle to slide into the limiting area of ​​the first limiting groove, thereby facilitating assembly and disassembly of the outer air guide plate 41.

[0130] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, a stepped surface is formed between the sliding area and the limiting area, and at least a portion of the inner wall surface of the limiting area is formed as a guide surface, which extends to the stepped surface. In the direction from the limiting area to the sliding area, the guide surface extends obliquely toward the direction adjacent to the outer air deflector 41. When the outer air deflector 41 is mounted on the inner air deflector 43, the first limiting clip on the outer air deflector 41 can be made to first enter the sliding area of ​​the first limiting groove. For example, the outer air deflector 41 can be pushed horizontally so that the first limiting clip on the outer air deflector 41 first enters the sliding area of ​​the first limiting groove. During the process of the first limiting clip entering the sliding area, the first limiting clip slides along the stepped surface. After the first limit buckle enters the sliding area of ​​the first limit groove, by pushing the outer air guide plate 41, for example, it can be pushed to the outer air guide plate 41 in the up and down directions, so that the first limit buckle can smoothly slide into the limit area of ​​the first limit groove under the guidance of the guide surface, so that the outer air guide plate 41 can be conveniently installed on the inner air guide plate 43.

[0131] When the outer air guide plate 41 needs to be removed, the outer air guide plate 41 can be pushed, for example, in the up and down direction, so that the first limit buckle slides from the limit area of ​​the first limit groove to the sliding area. In this process, the first limit buckle can be smoothly slid from the limit area to the sliding area by the guiding effect of the guide surface. Then, the outer air guide plate 41 is pushed again, for example, in the horizontal direction, so that the first limit buckle is disengaged from the sliding area, thus achieving the disengagement of the first limit buckle from the first limit groove, thereby achieving the outer air guide plate 41 from the inner air guide plate 43, and facilitating the cleaning and maintenance of the outer air guide plate 41 and the inner air guide plate 43.

[0132] In some optional embodiments of the present invention, a second limiting buckle is further formed on the outer air deflector 41, and a second limiting groove is further formed on the inner air deflector 43. The second limiting buckle is adapted to fit in the second limiting groove. The second limiting buckle cooperates with the second limiting groove to limit the outer air deflector 41 in different directions. For example, the cooperation between the first limiting groove and the first limiting buckle can achieve limitation in the front-to-back direction, and the cooperation between the second limiting groove and the second limiting buckle can achieve limitation in the left-to-right direction. On the basis of the cooperation between the first limiting groove and the first limiting buckle, the cooperation between the second limiting groove and the second limiting buckle is added, so that the outer air deflector 41 can be limited in different directions, making the installation and positioning of the outer air deflector 41 more stable and reliable.

[0133] In some optional embodiments of the present invention, a first fixing hole is formed on the outer air guide plate 41, and a second fixing hole is formed on the inner air guide assembly 501. For example, a second fixing hole is formed on the inner air guide plate 43, and fasteners are passed through the first fixing hole and the second fixing hole. Therefore, on the basis of the above-mentioned buckle and slot cooperation, the outer air guide plate 41 and the inner air guide assembly 501 are connected and fixed by fasteners, which can further improve the installation reliability of the outer air guide plate 41.

[0134] For example, when installing the outer air deflector 41, the outer air deflector 41 can be initially positioned by first engaging the first limiting groove with the first limiting buckle, or engaging the first limiting groove with the first limiting buckle, and engaging the second limiting groove with the second limiting buckle. Then, fasteners can be inserted through the first fixing hole and the second fixing hole to reliably fix the outer air deflector 41 to the inner air deflector assembly 501. When the outer air deflector 41 needs to be removed, the fasteners can be removed first, and then a force can be applied to the outer air deflector 41 to disengage the first limiting groove from the first limiting buckle, or disengage the first limiting groove from the first limiting buckle, and disengage the second limiting groove from the second limiting buckle. This allows for convenient removal of the outer air deflector 41.

[0135] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the outer air deflector 41 includes an outer air deflector body 410 and an outer plate portion 420 disposed on one side of the outer air deflector body 410. The outer plate portion 420 is located on a side of the outer air deflector body 410 adjacent to the center of the inner air deflector body 430, and a first fixing hole is formed on the outer plate portion 420. The inner air deflector 43 includes an inner air deflector body 430 and an inner plate portion disposed on one side of the inner air deflector body 430. The inner plate portion includes a first inner plate portion 440 and a second inner plate portion 450 located on opposite sides of the inner air deflector body 430. The first inner plate portion 440 is located on a side of the inner air deflector body 430 adjacent to the center of the outer air deflector body 410. The second fixing hole is formed on the first inner plate portion 440. The outer plate portion 420 is located on a side of the first inner plate portion 440 away from the outer air deflector body 410. The surface of the outer plate portion 420 away from the outer air deflector body 410 is flush with the surface of the second inner plate portion 450 away from the inner air deflector body 430. This structural arrangement makes the connection between the outer air deflector 41 and the inner air deflector 43 more convenient and makes the structure of the entire air deflector component 4 compact and beautiful.

For example, the heat exchanger water receiving pan may be connected to the air outlet frame water receiving pan, and the heat exchanger water receiving pan may be lower than the air outlet frame water receiving pan.

[0140] Reference Figure 1-Figure 23 The air conditioner according to the third embodiment of the present invention includes: an air outlet frame assembly according to the above-mentioned second embodiment of the present invention.

[0141] According to the air conditioner of an embodiment of the present invention, by providing the above-mentioned air outlet frame assembly, it is effectively prevented that condensed water on the air guide assembly 50 drips onto the ground and other components in the air conditioner, thereby effectively avoiding the inconvenience caused to the user by the condensed water dripping onto the ground, and also reducing safety hazards.

[0142] Optionally, the air conditioner can be a split-type air conditioner or an integrated air conditioner. When the air conditioner is a split-type air conditioner, the air conditioner can be a split wall-mounted air conditioner or a split floor-standing air conditioner.
