Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of air conditioning, and in particular to an air guide mechanism and an air conditioner. Background Art

[0002] The air guide mechanism of the air conditioner is an important structure for controlling the air outlet angle of the air conditioner. The angle of the air blowing is controlled by controlling the left and right swing of the blades, thereby meeting the customer's demand for air blowing. At present, the air guide mechanism of the air conditioner mostly adopts manual or automatic control methods. A stepper motor drives one of the blades, and then this blade drives the other blades to swing left or right in unison to change the air outlet angle. The blades of this air guide mechanism can only rotate in the same direction in unison, the air outlet method is relatively simple, and the user experience is poor. Summary of the invention

[0003] The problem to be solved by the present application is that the existing air guide mechanism has a single air outlet mode, which leads to a poor user experience.

[0004] In order to solve the above problems, in a first aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides an air guide mechanism, comprising:

[0005] A plurality of blades arranged at intervals, wherein the plurality of blades include a first blade and a second blade;

[0006] A driving member, drivingly connected to the first blade to drive the first blade to rotate;

[0007] The transmission assembly is respectively connected to the first blade and the second blade in a transmission manner, so that the second blade can rotate synchronously in the opposite direction when the first blade rotates.

[0008] The embodiment of the present application adds a transmission component to the air guide mechanism, so that when the first blade rotates under the drive of the driving member, the second blade can rotate synchronously in the opposite direction, thereby improving the problem of a single air outlet mode caused by the blades of the existing air guide mechanism can only rotate synchronously in the same direction. The first blade and the second blade rotate in opposite directions, so that the flow field of the airflow sent out from the air guide mechanism can have more forms. For example, the first blade and the second blade send air in two opposite directions, which can make the airflow have a wider diffusion angle; or make the airflow sent out by the first blade and the second blade have a certain impact. Therefore, the air guide mechanism provided in the embodiment of the present application can send air in different directions at the same time, which can better meet the user's usage needs and provide a better user experience.

[0009] In an optional embodiment, the number of the first blades is multiple, the number of the second blades is multiple, the multiple first blades include a first active blade and a first driven blade, the multiple second blades include a second active blade and a second driven blade, the driving member is transmission-connected to the first active blade, and the transmission assembly is transmission-connected to the first active blade and the second active blade respectively; the air guide mechanism includes a first connecting rod and a second connecting rod, wherein:

[0010] One of the first connecting rod or the second connecting rod is in transmission connection with the first active blade and the first driven blade, so that the first driven blade rotates synchronously with the first active blade in the same direction;

[0011] The other of the first connecting rod or the second connecting rod is drivingly connected to the second active blade and the second driven blade, so that the second driven blade rotates synchronously with the second active blade in the same direction.

[0012] In this embodiment, the first active blade in the first blade is driven to rotate by the driving member, and at the same time, the first driven blade in the first blade is driven to rotate synchronously in the same direction through the first connecting rod or the second connecting rod; at the same time, the second active blade in the second blade is driven to rotate synchronously by the transmission component, but the rotation direction is opposite to that of each first blade, and the rotation of the second active blade will drive the second driven blade to rotate through the second connecting rod or the first connecting rod. The second driven blade has the same direction of rotation as the second active blade, but opposite to that of the first blade. In this way, all the first blades rotate synchronously, all the second blades rotate synchronously, and the first blade and the second blade rotate in opposite directions. The coordinated movement of each blade is achieved by two connecting rods, which is stable, efficient and easy to implement.

[0013] In an optional embodiment, the plurality of blades are arranged at intervals in a straight line direction, and the extension direction of the first connecting rod and the second connecting rod is consistent with the arrangement direction of the blades. The first connecting rod and the second connecting rod are consistent with the arrangement direction of the blades, so that the first connecting rod is connected to each first blade, and the second connecting rod is connected to each second blade.

[0014] In an optional embodiment, the air guide mechanism includes a first section and a second section along the arrangement direction of the blades, wherein the blades located in the first section include multiple first blades but do not include second blades, and the blades located in the second section include multiple second blades but do not include first blades. That is, in this embodiment, all the first blades are continuously arranged in the first section of the air guide mechanism, and all the second blades are continuously arranged in the second section of the air guide mechanism, and when the first blades of the first section rotate, the second blades of the second section rotate in the opposite direction. In this way, the wind sent out from the air guide mechanism can blow to both sides to form a wider air supply area, or gather to the middle to form a more concentrated air supply. In this way, the user's needs for wide-area air supply and concentrated air supply can be met.

[0015] In an optional embodiment, the first blades and the second blades are arranged alternately along the arrangement direction of the blades. That is, in this embodiment, except for the two blades at the first position in the arrangement direction of the blades, each first blade is adjacent to two second blades, and each second blade is adjacent to two first blades. In this way, at the same time, the two adjacent blades turn in opposite directions, so that the airflow is divided into multiple streams by the blades when passing through the air guide mechanism. There is a certain impact between each two adjacent airflows, and the momentum is weakened. Therefore, the overall airflow of the air guide mechanism will be relatively smooth and uniform, avoiding the formation of direct blowing airflow that causes discomfort to the user.

[0016] In an optional embodiment, the first connecting rod is provided with a plurality of first matching parts for matching with the blades, the second connecting rod is provided with a plurality of second matching parts for matching with the blades, the first connecting rod is positionally adjustable in its own extension direction so as to have a first position and a second position, and the second connecting rod is positionally adjustable in its own extension direction so as to have a third position and a fourth position;

[0017] When the first connecting rod is located at the first position and the second connecting rod is located at the third position, a part of the leaves can be used as first leaves to cooperate with a part of the first matching portion on the first connecting rod, and another part of the leaves can be used as second leaves to cooperate with a part of the second matching portion on the second connecting rod, and the first leaves and the second leaves present a first arrangement state; in the first arrangement state, the first leaves are arranged in sequence and in succession, and the second leaves are arranged in sequence and in succession;

[0018] When the first connecting rod is in the second position and the second connecting rod is in the fourth position, a part of the blades can act as first blades and cooperate with a part of the second matching portion on the second connecting rod, and another part of the blades can act as second blades and cooperate with a part of the first matching portion on the first connecting rod, and the first blades and the second blades present a second arrangement state; in the second arrangement state, the first blades and the second blades are arranged alternately.

[0019] In this embodiment, because the positions of the first connecting rod and the second connecting rod are adjustable, the arrangement state of the first blade and the second blade can be changed to meet different air outlet requirements. In the first arrangement state, the first blade is sequentially arranged into a section under the connection of the first connecting rod, and the second blade is sequentially arranged into a section under the connection of the second connecting rod. These two sections can make the air outlet diffuse to both sides or gather to the middle. In the second arrangement state, the two adjacent blades are the first blade and the second blade, and the two have opposite directions, so that the airflow is divided into multiple strands by the blades when passing through the air guide mechanism. There is a certain impact between each two adjacent airflows, and the momentum is weakened. Therefore, the overall air outlet of the air guide mechanism will be relatively smooth and uniform, avoiding the formation of direct blowing airflow that causes discomfort to the user.

[0020] In an optional embodiment, each blade includes a rotating shaft and a plate body connected to the rotating shaft, and the driving member is drivingly connected to the rotating shaft of the first active blade.

[0021] In an optional embodiment, the first connecting rod and the second connecting rod are both connected to the plate body of the blade. In this embodiment, since the plate body rotates around the rotating shaft, the connecting rod is connected to the plate body of the blade, so that the connecting rod can directly drive the plate body to rotate, which reduces transmission loss, saves more effort, and reduces the requirements for the driving member.

[0022] In an optional embodiment, the transmission assembly includes a first gear and a second gear, the first gear is coaxially arranged on the rotating shaft of the first active blade, the second gear is coaxially arranged on the rotating shaft of the second active blade, and the first gear and the second gear are transmission connected.

[0023] In an optional embodiment, the first gear meshes with the second gear;

[0024] Alternatively, the transmission assembly further includes a transmission member, which includes a transmission rod and a third gear and a fourth gear respectively connected to two ends of the transmission rod, the third gear meshes with the first gear, and the fourth gear meshes with the second gear.

[0025] The two methods provided in this embodiment can both realize that when the first active blade rotates, the second active blade rotates in the opposite direction.

[0026] In an optional embodiment, the first gear, the second gear, the third gear and the fourth gear are all bevel gears. The use of bevel gears for two gears with perpendicular axes and meshing with each other can make the transmission more stable.

[0027] In an optional embodiment, a plurality of mutually spaced first slots are formed on the first connecting rod, and at least some of the first slots cooperate with the plate body of the blade;

[0028] A plurality of second slots spaced apart from each other are formed on the second connecting rod, and at least some of the second slots are matched with the plate body of the blade.

[0029] By connecting the connecting rod and the blade plate through the slot, the connecting rod can drive the blade plate to rotate, and by reasonably setting the slot width, a certain degree of relative movement can be achieved between the blade and the slot, thereby avoiding the connection rod from moving horizontally due to the rotation of the blade, which would cause greater stress between the two.

[0030] In an optional embodiment, the air guide mechanism further comprises a base plate, and each blade is rotatably connected to the base plate. The base plate provides support force for each blade, and optionally, the base plate is an air guide plate.

[0031] In a second aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides an air conditioner, comprising an air guide mechanism according to any one of the embodiments provided in the first aspect above. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0039] Existing air conditioner indoor units, such as wall-mounted units or cabinet units, use an air guide mechanism to guide the direction of air outlet. Existing air guide mechanisms often include multiple blades, which can rotate synchronously and uniformly under the drive of a driving member. However, when using this air outlet method of an air guide mechanism, the airflow directions guided by each blade are always synchronized, and each airflow is almost parallel when it just comes out of the air guide mechanism. This single air outlet method causes the airflow sent out from the air guide mechanism to always blow straight in a certain direction, which cannot meet the user's demand for diversified air outlets, resulting in a poor user experience.

[0040] In order to improve the problem that existing air conditioners and air guide mechanisms have a single air outlet mode and a poor user experience, the embodiment of the present application provides an air guide mechanism and an air conditioner, which realize the simultaneous rotation of blades but in different directions by setting a transmission component, thereby having more diverse air outlet modes and improving the user experience.

[0041] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present application more obvious and easy to understand, the specific embodiments of the present application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0042] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of an air guide mechanism 010 in an embodiment of the present application at a first viewing angle; Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the air guide mechanism 010 in an embodiment of the present application at a second viewing angle; Figure 3 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of the air guide mechanism 010 in an embodiment of the present application at a third viewing angle. Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the air guide mechanism 010 provided in the embodiment of the present application includes a plurality of blades 100, a driving member 200 and a transmission assembly 300. The plurality of blades 100 are arranged at intervals, and the space between the blades 100 is left for airflow to pass through. By rotating the blades 100, the direction of the airflow can be guided, thereby changing the direction of the airflow.

[0043] In this embodiment, each blade 100 can be directly connected to the frame of the air conditioner (such as the middle frame), or can be arranged on a substrate 600. In this embodiment, the air guide mechanism 010 includes a substrate 600, and each blade 100 can be rotatably arranged on the substrate 600, and the substrate 600 provides support for each blade 100. Optionally, the substrate 600 can be a plate fixedly connected to the air conditioner frame, or it can be an air guide plate movably connected to the air conditioner frame. For example, when the air conditioner is a wall-mounted air conditioner, the substrate 600 (as an air guide plate) can swing up and down to adjust the pitch angle of the air outlet, or sweep the air up and down; each blade 100 can swing horizontally to adjust the left and right direction of the air outlet, or realize left and right sweeping. In this embodiment, the overall position of the drive member 200 and the transmission assembly 300 should remain fixed with the substrate 600.

[0044] In this embodiment, if Figure 2 As shown, the blade 100 includes a rotating shaft 101 and a plate body 102. The rotating shaft 101 is rotatably connected to the base plate 600. One end of the plate body 102 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the rotating shaft 101. The plate body 102 can rotate with the rotating shaft 101 to adjust the wind direction.

[0045] In this embodiment, the plurality of blades 100 include a first blade 110 and a second blade 120, which can be referred to in Figure 1, the driving member 200 is connected to the first blade 110 in a transmission manner to drive the first blade 110 to rotate. The transmission assembly 300 is connected to the first blade 110 and the second blade 120 in a transmission manner respectively, so that the second blade 120 can rotate synchronously in the opposite direction when the first blade 110 rotates. Through the transmission assembly 300, the driving member 200 can simultaneously drive the first blade 110 and the second blade 120 to rotate, and the rotation directions of the two are opposite, so as to improve the problem of a single air outlet mode caused by the fact that each blade 100 of the existing air guide mechanism 010 can only rotate synchronously in the same direction. The first blade 110 and the second blade 120 rotate in opposite directions, so that the flow field of the airflow sent out from the air guide mechanism 010 can have more forms. For example, the first blade 110 and the second blade 120 send air in two opposite directions, so that the airflow can have a wider diffusion angle; or the airflow sent out by the first blade 110 and the second blade 120 has a certain counteraction. Therefore, the air guide mechanism 010 provided in the embodiment of the present application can supply air in different directions at the same time, which can better meet the user's usage needs and provide a better user experience.

[0046] like Figure 1 As shown, in the present embodiment, the number of the first blades 110 and the number of the second blades 120 are both plural. For example, as shown in the figure, there are five first blades 110 and five second blades 120 respectively. The air guide mechanism 010 also includes a first connecting rod 400 and a second connecting rod 500. One of the first connecting rod 400 or the second connecting rod 500 is transmission-connected to all the first blades 110 so that all the first blades 110 can rotate synchronously in the same direction; the other of the first connecting rod 400 or the second connecting rod 500 is transmission-connected to all the second blades 120 so that all the second blades 120 can rotate synchronously in the same direction. It should be noted that in the present embodiment of the application, the distinguishing criterion between the first blade 110 and the second blade 120 should be the direction of rotation, and the blade 100 (i.e., the blade 100 directly driven by the driven member 200) can rotate synchronously with the driven member 200. Figure 3 The blades 100 that rotate synchronously in the same direction are the first blades 110 (including the blades 100 that are directly driven by the driving member 200); at the same time, the blades 100 that rotate synchronously in the other direction are the second blades 120. It can be understood that the first blades 110 and the second blades 120 can be set to be the same in structure and size. Figures 1 to 3 In the embodiment, the first connecting rod 400 is connected to the first blade 110 , and the second connecting rod 500 is connected to the second blade 120 .

[0047] like Figure 3As shown, in this embodiment, the multiple first blades 110 include a first active blade 111 and a plurality of first driven blades 112 (for example, four), the multiple second blades 120 include a second active blade 121 and a plurality of second driven blades 122 (for example, four), the driving member 200 is transmission-connected to the first active blade 111, and the transmission assembly 300 is transmission-connected to the first active blade 111 and the second active blade 121, respectively.

[0048] In this embodiment, the first active blade 111 in the first blade 110 is driven to rotate by the driving member 200, and at the same time, the first driven blade 112 in the first blade 110 is driven to rotate synchronously in the same direction through the first connecting rod 400; at the same time, the second active blade 121 in the second blade 120 is driven by the transmission assembly 300 to rotate synchronously, but the rotation direction is opposite to that of each first blade 110, and the rotation of the second active blade 121 will drive the second driven blade 122 to rotate through the second connecting rod 500. The second driven blade 122 has the same direction of rotation as the second active blade 121, but opposite to the first blade 110. In this way, all the first blades 110 rotate synchronously, all the second blades 120 rotate synchronously, and the first blade 110 and the second blade 120 rotate in opposite directions. The coordinated movement of each blade 100 is achieved by two connecting rods, which is stable, efficient and easy to achieve.

[0049] In an optional embodiment, the plurality of blades 100 are arranged at intervals in a straight line direction, and the extending direction of the first connecting rod 400 and the second connecting rod 500 is consistent with the arrangement direction of the blades 100. The first connecting rod 400 and the second connecting rod 500 are consistent with the arrangement direction of the blades 100, so that the first connecting rod 400 is connected to each first blade 110, and the second connecting rod 500 is connected to each second blade 120.

[0050] In this embodiment, the driving member 200 is in transmission connection with the rotating shaft 101 of the first active blade 111 to drive the rotating shaft 101 of the first active blade 111 to rotate, thereby driving the plate body 102 of the first active blade 111 to rotate. Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the first connecting rod 400 and the second connecting rod 500 are both connected to the plate body 102 of the blade 100. Since the plate body 102 rotates around the rotating shaft 101, the connecting rod is connected to the plate body 102 of the blade 100, so that the first connecting rod 400 can directly drive the plate body 102 to rotate, which reduces the transmission loss, saves more effort, and reduces the requirements for the driving member 200.

[0051] Figure 4 for Figure 1 Please refer to the enlarged view of the local IV in Figures 1 to 4In the present embodiment, a plurality of first matching portions 410 are provided on the first connecting rod 400, and the plurality of first matching portions 410 are spaced apart along the first connecting rod 400 for matching with the blade 100; similarly, a plurality of second matching portions 510 are provided on the second connecting rod 500, and the plurality of second matching portions 510 are spaced apart along the second connecting rod 500 for matching with the blade 100. Each first matching portion 410 forms a first card groove 411, so a plurality of mutually spaced first card grooves 411 are formed on the first connecting rod 400, and at least some of the first card grooves 411 match with the plate body 102 of the blade 100. Similarly, a plurality of mutually spaced second card grooves are formed on the second connecting rod 500, and at least some of the second card grooves match with the plate body 102 of the blade 100. In Figures 1 to 4 In the embodiment, the first blade 110 cooperates with the first matching portion 410 , and the second blade 120 cooperates with the second matching portion 510 .

[0052] By connecting the connecting rod to the plate body 102 of the blade 100 through the slot, the connecting rod can drive the plate body 102 of the blade 100 to rotate, and by reasonably setting the slot width, a certain degree of relative movement can be achieved between the blade 100 and the slot, thereby avoiding the connection rod from translating due to the rotation of the blade 100, thereby preventing the two from generating large stresses.

[0053] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in an optional embodiment, the transmission assembly 300 includes a first gear 310 and a second gear 320, the first gear 310 is coaxially arranged on the rotating shaft 101 of the first active blade 111, and the second gear 320 is coaxially arranged on the rotating shaft 101 of the second active blade 121, and the first gear 310 and the second gear 320 are transmission-connected. In this embodiment, the transmission assembly 300 also includes a transmission member 330, and the transmission member 330 includes a transmission rod 331 and a third gear 332 and a fourth gear 333 respectively connected to both ends of the transmission rod 331, the third gear 332 is meshed with the first gear 310, and the fourth gear 333 is meshed with the second gear 320. The transmission assembly 300 can realize that when the first active blade 111 rotates, the second active blade 121 rotates in the opposite direction.

[0054] Since the axes of the first gear 310 and the third gear 332 are vertical, and the axes of the second gear 320 and the fourth gear 333 are vertical, in order to improve the stability of transmission, the first gear 310, the second gear 320, the third gear 332 and the fourth gear 333 can all be bevel gears.

[0055] Since the first active blade 111 and the second active blade 121 are not adjacent to each other in this embodiment, a transmission member 330 is required to realize transmission and achieve the effect of reverse rotation. In other embodiments, for example, when the first active blade 111 and the second active blade 121 are adjacent to each other, the transmission assembly 300 may not include the transmission member 330, and the first gear 310 and the second gear 320 may be meshed.

[0056] In this embodiment, in order to accurately control the rotation of each blade 100, the driving member 200 may be a stepping motor.

[0057] exist Figures 1 to 3 In the embodiment, along the arrangement direction of the blades 100, the wind guide mechanism 010 includes a first section and a second section (i.e. Figure 3 The right half S1 and the left half S2 in the figure), wherein the blades 100 located in the first section only include a plurality of first blades 110 but not a second blade 120, and the blades 100 located in the second section only include a plurality of second blades 120 but not a first blade 110. That is, in this embodiment, all the first blades 110 are arranged in sequence and continuously in the first section of the air guide mechanism 010, and all the second blades 120 are arranged in sequence and continuously in the second section of the air guide mechanism 010, and when the first blades 110 of the first section rotate, the second blades 120 of the second section rotate in the opposite direction. In this way, the wind sent out from the air guide mechanism 010 can blow to both sides to form a wider air supply area, or gather in the middle to form a more concentrated air supply. In this way, the user's needs for wide-area air supply and concentrated air supply can be met.

[0058] In this embodiment, “arranged in sequence and continuously” should be understood as no second blade 120 (or first blade 110) exists between any two first blades 110 (or second blades 120), rather than that two adjacent blades 100 must be connected. Therefore, it does not contradict the “interval arrangement” described above.

[0059] It can be understood that there can be multiple arrangement states of the first blades 110 and the second blades 120, and different air outlet modes can be achieved in different arrangement states. Figure 5 1 is a schematic diagram of the first blades 110 and the second blades 120 in a first arrangement state in one embodiment of the present application. In the first arrangement state, the first blades 110 are arranged in sequence, and the second blades 120 are arranged in sequence. Figure 3 The arrangement of the first blade 110 and the second blade 120 in the embodiment. Figure 5As shown in the figure, the first connecting rod 400 cooperates with a part of the five blades 100 located in the right half through the first matching portion 410, and these five blades 100 become the first blades 110 (including a first active blade 111 and four first driven blades 112). The remaining five blades 100 located in the left half cooperate with the second matching portion 510 on the second connecting rod 500 to become the second blades 120 (including a second active blade 121 and four second driven blades 122).

[0060] Figure 6 1 is a schematic diagram of the first blade 110 and the second blade 120 in a second arrangement state in one embodiment of the present application. In the second arrangement state, along the arrangement direction of the blade 100, the first blade 110 and the second blade 120 are arranged alternately. By adjusting the connection relationship between the blade 100 and the first connecting rod 400 and the second connecting rod 500, the following can be presented: Figure 6 The second arrangement state shown. In this embodiment, except for the first two blades 100 in the arrangement direction of the blades 100, each first blade 110 is adjacent to two second blades 120, and each second blade 120 is also adjacent to two first blades 110. In this way, at the same time, the two adjacent blades 100 turn in opposite directions, so that the airflow is divided into multiple streams by the blades 100 when passing through the air guide mechanism 010, and there is a certain impact between each two adjacent airflows, and the momentum is weakened. Therefore, the overall airflow of the air guide mechanism 010 will be relatively gentle and uniform, avoiding the formation of direct blowing airflow that causes discomfort to the user.

[0061] Figure 5 and Figure 6 Two arrangement states of the first blade 110 and the second blade 120 are shown. It should be understood that the first blade 110 and the second blade 120 can also be set to more arrangement states, as long as the structure or position of the first connecting rod 400 and the second connecting rod 500 is designed accordingly according to actual needs so that they can connect different blades 100. In some embodiments, the blades 100 of the air guide mechanism 010 can have only one arrangement state, that is, the connection relationship between the blade 100 and the first connecting rod 400 and the second connecting rod 500 is fixed and immutable; in other embodiments, the first connecting rod 400 and the second connecting rod 500 can also be set to be movable so that they have different positions to connect different blades 100, so that the first blade 110 and the second blade 120 have different distributions.

[0062] For example, in Figures 1 to 6In the embodiment, the first connecting rod 400 and the second connecting rod 500 are positionally adjustable, so that the arrangement state of the first blades 110 and the second blades 120 can be switched. In this embodiment, the first connecting rod 400 has first matching parts 410 exceeding the number of the first blades 110; the second connecting rod 500 has second matching parts 510 exceeding the number of the second blades 120. The first connecting rod 400 is positionally adjustable in its own extension direction so as to have a first position and a second position, and the second connecting rod 500 is positionally adjustable in its own extension direction so as to have a third position and a fourth position.

[0063] like Figure 5 As shown, when the first link 400 is located at the first position and the second link 500 is located at the third position, a portion of the leaves 100 can be used as the first leaves 110 to cooperate with a portion of the first matching portion 410 on the first link 400, and another portion of the leaves 100 can be used as the second leaves 120 to cooperate with a portion of the second matching portion 510 on the second link 500, and the first leaves 110 and the second leaves 120 are in the first arrangement state. Figure 5 As shown in , part of the first matching portion 410 (located at ABCDE of the first connecting rod 400) on the first connecting rod 400 matches with the five blades 100 located in the right half, and these five blades 100 become the first blades 110 (including a first active blade 111 and four first driven blades 112). The remaining five blades 100 located in the left half match with part of the second matching portion 510 (located at KLMNO of the second connecting rod 500) on the second connecting rod 500, and become the second blades 120 (including a second active blade 121 and four second driven blades 122). It should be noted that Figure 5 and Figure 6 In order to simultaneously display the first link 400 and the second link 500, the two are arranged in an upper and lower spacing, and the first matching portion 410 of the first link 400 corresponds to the position of the blade 100 in the upper and lower directions, which means that the two are matched.

[0064] like Figure 6 As shown, the first link 400 moves to the left to the second position, and the second link 500 moves to the left to the fourth position. When the first link 400 is located at the second position and the second link 500 is located at the fourth position, a part of the blades 100 can be used as the first blade 110 to cooperate with a part of the second matching portion 510 on the second link 500 (located at PQRST of the second link 500), and another part of the blades 100 can be used as the second blade 120 to cooperate with a part of the first matching portion 410 on the first link 400 (located at FGHIJ of the first link 400), and the first blade 110 and the second blade 120 present a second arrangement state; in the second arrangement state, each first blade 110 and each second blade 120 are arranged alternately.

[0065] It can be seen that in the first arrangement state, the first connecting rod 400 is connected to the first blade 110, and the second connecting rod 500 is connected to the second blade 120; when the positions of the first connecting rod 400 and the second connecting rod 500 are adjusted so that the blade 100 is switched to the second arrangement state, the first connecting rod 400 is connected to the second blade 120, and the second connecting rod 500 is connected to the first blade 110, thereby achieving swapping.

[0066] In this embodiment, because the positions of the first connecting rod 400 and the second connecting rod 500 are adjustable, the arrangement state of the first blade 110 and the second blade 120 can be changed to meet different air outlet requirements. In the first arrangement state, the first blades 110 are arranged in sequence in a continuous section, and the second blades 120 are arranged in sequence in a continuous section. These two sections can make the air outlet diffuse to both sides or gather in the middle. In the second arrangement state, the two adjacent blades 100 are the first blade 110 and the second blade 120, respectively, and the two have opposite directions, so that the airflow is divided into multiple strands by the blades 100 when passing through the air guide mechanism 010. There is a certain impact between each two adjacent airflows, and the momentum is weakened. Therefore, the overall air outlet of the air guide mechanism 010 will be relatively gentle and uniform, avoiding the formation of direct blowing airflow that causes discomfort to the user.

[0067] It should be understood that the arrangement state of the first blades 110 and the second blades 120 is not limited to the first arrangement state and the second arrangement state listed above, and can be set as needed in other embodiments, and can be set to a switchable arrangement state or a fixed arrangement state.

[0068] The embodiment of the present application also provides an air conditioner (not shown in the figure), including the air guide mechanism 010 provided in the embodiment of the present application, which can realize more diverse air outlet forms, which is conducive to improving the user experience. Among them, the base plate 600 can be fixedly connected to the frame of the air conditioner, or can be rotatably connected to the frame of the air conditioner (as an air guide plate), and the overall position of the driving member 200 and the transmission assembly 300 remains fixed to the base plate 600. In the case where the base plate 600 is not provided, each blade 100 can be directly rotatably connected to the frame of the air conditioner, then the overall position of the driving member 200 and the transmission assembly 300 should remain fixed to the frame of the air conditioner.

[0069] Although the present application is disclosed as above, the present application is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the present application shall be subject to the scope defined by the claims.
