[0072] The following describes embodiments of the present invention in detail, examples of which 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 to be used to explain the present invention, and are not to be construed as limiting the present invention.
[0073] The disclosure below provides many different embodiments or examples for realizing different structures of the present invention. In order to simplify the disclosure of the present invention, the components and settings of specific examples are described below. Of course, they are merely examples and are not intended to limit the present invention. In addition, the present invention may repeat reference numbers and / or letters in different examples. This repetition is for the purpose of simplicity and clarity and does not in itself indicate the relationship between the various embodiments and / or settings discussed. In addition, the present invention provides examples of various specific processes and materials, but those skilled in the art will appreciate the applicability of other processes and / or the use of other materials.
[0074] Hereinafter, an air guide member 100 and an air conditioner 1000 having the same according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0075] It should be noted that the air guide component 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention is not limited to application to the air conditioner 1000, that is, it can also be applied to other devices with air outlet functions, such as air purifiers. In addition, it should be noted that the air guide component 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention is applicable to any type of air conditioner 1000. For example, it can be applied to an all-in-one air conditioner, such as a mobile air conditioner, a window air conditioner, etc., and can also be applied to the indoor unit of a split air conditioner, such as a wall-mounted air conditioner, a cabinet air conditioner, etc.
[0076] To simplify the description, the following text only uses the air guide component 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention applied to the air conditioner 1000 as an example for explanation. After reading the technical solution in the following text, those skilled in the art will obviously understand the specific embodiments of the air guide component 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention applied to other devices with air outlet functions, which will not be described in detail here. In addition, it can be understood that, if Figure 1 As shown, the air conditioner 1000 has an air outlet 200 and an air inlet 300. The air flow enters the air conditioner 1000 from the air inlet 300 and flows out of the air conditioner 1000 from the air outlet 200. The air guide component 100 is arranged at the air outlet 200 to at least adjust the air outlet effect of the air outlet 200.
[0077] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the wind guide component 100 may include: a wind guide plate 1 and a wind guide strip assembly 2. The wind guide strip assembly 2 is connected to the inner side of the wind guide plate 1. It should be noted that the side of the wind guide plate 1 close to the air outlet 200 is the inner side of the wind guide plate 1, and the side of the wind guide plate 1 away from the air outlet 200 is the outer side of the wind guide plate 1. The wind guide strip assembly 2 is arranged on the inner side of the wind guide plate 1 and connected to the wind guide plate 1, that is, it is arranged on the windward side of the wind guide plate 1, thereby achieving the effect of guiding the wind. It should be noted that the specific connection method of the wind guide strip assembly 2 and the wind guide plate 1 is not limited. It can be a split part and assembled together (including detachable assembly and non-detachable assembly, etc.), or it can be an integral part (including integral molding and secondary injection molding, etc.).
[0078] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the air guide strip assembly 2 may include: two air guide strips 20 spaced apart along the width direction F2 of the air guide plate 1, each air guide strip 20 being adapted to guide the airflow flowing from the inner side to the outer side of the air guide plate 1 in a direction away from the other air guide strip 20. Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the air guide strip assembly 2 includes two air guide strips 20, a first air guide strip 21 and a second air guide strip 22. The first air guide strip 21 and the second air guide strip 22 are spaced apart along the width direction F2 of the air guide plate 1. The first air guide strip 21 is suitable for directing the airflow flowing from the inner side to the outer side of the air guide plate 1 in a direction away from the second air guide strip 22 (for example, Figure 4 The second air guide strip 22 is adapted to guide the airflow flowing from the inner side to the outer side of the air guide plate 1 in a direction away from the first air guide strip 21 (e.g. Figure 4 The direction indicated by the S2 line shown in FIG is derived.
[0079] Thus, according to the wind guide component 100 of the embodiment of the present invention, by providing two wind guide strips 20 spaced apart along the transverse direction of the wind guide plate 1 on the inner side of the wind guide plate 1, the two wind guide strips 20 are used to guide the wind in directions away from each other, thereby achieving at least two-dimensional air outlet adjustment (such as Figure 4 The airflow direction (S1 and S2) can be adjusted in two directions (as shown in the figure), which can quickly adjust the temperature throughout the room, improve the uniformity of temperature distribution, and significantly disturb the air in the room, thereby improving the user's feeling of stuffiness. In addition, the airflow effect can be greatly adjusted by rotating the air guide component 100 at a relatively small angle, thereby reducing the energy consumption of driving the air guide component 100 and achieving more effective wind direction and air volume adjustment.
[0080] Moreover, when the air guide component 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention is used for an air conditioner, the problem that cold air blows directly to the user and hot air cannot directly reach the user's feet can be solved. Figure 5-Figure 6 As shown, the air conditioner 1000 is a wall mounted air conditioner, the air outlet 200 is formed at the bottom front side and / or the lower front side of the body 700, the two air guide strips 20 are spaced apart in the front-to-back direction, and the air guide component 100 can switch the front air outlet state (for example Figure 5 shown) and rear airflow state (e.g. Figure 6 As shown), Figure 5 As shown, in the front air outlet state, the air flow flowing out of the air outlet 200 passes through the front air guide strip 20 to guide the air forward, which can prevent the cold air from blowing directly on the user. In the rear air outlet state, the air flow flowing out of the air outlet 200 passes through the rear air guide strip 20 to guide the air backward, which can solve the problem that the hot air cannot reach the user's feet directly.
[0081] It should be noted that the air guide strip 20 can be constructed as a complete long strip structure extending along the length direction F1 of the air guide plate 1. The air guide strip 20 can also be composed of at least two short strip structures arranged in sequence along the length direction F1 of the air guide plate 1. In addition, it should be noted that the surface of the air guide strip 20 used for guiding air (i.e., the air guide surface) needs to be determined according to the specific structure of the air guide strip 20. For example, the air guide surface of the air guide strip 20 can include the outer surface and the inner surface of the air guide strip 20, etc. For example, in the first and second embodiments described below, the side surface of the air guide strip 20 facing away from the air guide plate 1 (i.e., the inner surface 201 of the air guide strip 20) is the air guide surface of the air guide strip 20, and in the third embodiment described below, the side surface of the air guide strip 20 facing away from the air guide plate 1 (i.e., the inner surface 201 of the air guide strip 20) and the inner surface of the air guide strip 20 are both the air guide surfaces of the air guide strip 20.
[0082] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the air deflector 1 has a plurality of air holes 11, and it can be understood that the air holes 11 pass through the inner side surface and the outer side surface of the air deflector 1. The airflow channel 12 is defined between the two air deflector strips 20, and the airflow channel 12 is in communication with the air holes 11, so that a part of the airflow flowing from the inner side to the outer side of the air deflector 1 can enter the airflow channel 12 and then flow out of the air holes 11 on the air deflector 1 to the outer side of the air deflector 1 (for example Figure 4 The S3 line shown in the middle indicates the direction of the airflow flowing out). Thus, the air deflector 100 can have two air outlet dimensions in which the two air deflector strips 20 respectively direct the airflow in directions away from each other, and one air outlet dimension in which the airflow is directed out through the airflow channel 12 and the air holes 11, for a total of at least three air outlet dimensions (as shown by the S1, S2, and S3 directions of airflow in Figure 4 ).
[0083] Thus, on the basis of directing the airflow in directions away from each other by the two air deflector strips 20, the airflow can also be accelerated and agitated by the air outlet through the airflow channel 12 and the air holes 11, promoting the microcirculation of the room air, so that people do not feel stuffy, and the temperature can be quickly adjusted by multi-dimensional air supply, improving the uniformity of the temperature and the user experience. When the air deflector 100 according to the embodiment of the present application is used in an air conditioner hanging machine, the cold air can be prevented from directly blowing on the user, and the hot air can be prevented from not reaching the user's feet, and the airflow can be accelerated and agitated by the air outlet through the airflow channel 12 and the air holes 11, promoting the microcirculation of the room air, so that people do not feel stuffy, solving the problem of discomfort caused by single-dimensional air supply, and in short, realizing front, rear, and lower multi-dimensional air supply, thereby improving the user experience.
[0084] For example, as shown in Figure 5 and Figure 6 When the air conditioner 1000 is an air conditioner hanging machine, when the air deflector 100 is switched to a front air outlet state (for example Figure 5 shown), the airflow flowing out of the air outlet 200 passes through the front air deflector strip 20, and the cold air can be prevented from directly blowing on the user, and a part of the airflow can also flow out to the outer side of the air deflector 1 through the airflow channel 12 and the air holes 11, thereby accelerating the agitation of the whole house air and promoting the microcirculation of the room air, so that people do not feel stuffy, and the temperature can be quickly adjusted by multi-dimensional air supply, improving the uniformity of the temperature and the user experience.
[0085] When the air deflector 100 is switched to a rear air outlet state (for example Figure 6As shown in the figure, the airflow flowing out from the air outlet 200 is guided backwards through the air guide strip 20 on the rear side, which can solve the problem that the hot air cannot reach the user's feet directly, and a part of the airflow can also flow out to the outside of the air guide plate 1 through the air flow channel 12 and the air vent 11, thereby accelerating the stirring of the air in the whole house, promoting the microcirculation of the air in the room, making people feel less stuffy, and through multi-dimensional air supply, quickly adjusting the temperature, improving the temperature uniformity, and improving the user's comfort experience.
[0086] In addition, combined Figure 7 When the air conditioner 1000 is a wall mounted air conditioner, the air guide component 100 can also have a front and rear air outlet state. At this time, the air flow flowing out of the air outlet 200 is divided into three streams, one stream passes through the front air guide strip 20 to guide the air, one stream passes through the rear air guide strip 20 to guide the air, and one stream flows out to the outside of the air guide plate 1 through the air flow channel 12 and the air vent 11, thereby accelerating the stirring of the air in the whole house, promoting the microcirculation of the room air, making people not feel stuffy, and through multi-dimensional air supply, quickly adjusting the temperature, improving temperature uniformity, and enhancing user comfort experience.
[0087] In addition, combined Figure 8 When the air conditioner 1000 is hung up, the air guide component 100 can also have a closed state. At this time, the air guide component 100 blocks the air outlet 200. If the air conditioner 1000 is in the off state, no air will flow out from the air outlet 200. If the air conditioner is in the on state, the air flow out of the air outlet 200 can flow out to the outside of the air guide plate 1 through the air flow channel 12 and the vent 11. When the vent 11 is a micropore, a soft wind feeling (or windless feeling) can be achieved.
[0088] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, an air flow channel 12 is defined between the two air guide strips 20. The air flow channel 12 extends along the length direction F1 of the air guide plate 1, and both ends of the air flow channel 12 in the extending direction are open to form side air outlets 13. Figure 3 The length direction F1 of the air guide plate 1 shown in the figure is the left-right direction, and the air flow channel 12 extends in the left-right direction. The left end of the air flow channel 12 is opened to form the side air outlet 13 on the left side, and the right end of the air flow channel 12 is opened to form the side air outlet 13 on the right side. In this way, a part of the air flow flowing from the inside to the outside of the air guide plate 1 can enter the air flow channel 12 and then flow out of the air guide component 100 (for example, Figure 3 The air flows out from the side air outlet 13 on the right side (e.g., the air flows out from the direction indicated by the S4 line in FIG. 1 ) and the air guide member 100 (e.g., the air flows out from the side air outlet 13 on the right side) Figure 3Thus, the air guide component 100 can have two air outlet dimensions in which the air is discharged in directions away from each other by the two air guide strips 20, and can also have two air outlet dimensions in which the air is discharged through the side air outlets 13 at both ends of the air flow channel 12, for a total of at least four air outlet dimensions (such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 The air is discharged in four directions: S1, S2, S4 and S5 as shown in FIG.
[0089] Thus, on the basis of using the two air guide strips 20 to guide the air in directions away from each other, the air outlet of the air flow channel 12 and the side air outlet 13 can also be used to accelerate the stirring of the air in the whole house, promote the microcirculation of the air in the room, so that people will not feel stuffy, and through multi-dimensional air supply, the temperature can be quickly adjusted, the temperature uniformity can be improved, and the user's comfort experience can be improved. Moreover, when the air guide component 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention is used for an air conditioner, it can solve the problem of cold air blowing directly on the user and hot air not being able to reach the user's feet directly, while the air outlet of the air flow channel 12 and the side air outlet 13 can be used to accelerate the stirring of the air in the whole house, promote the microcirculation of the air in the room, so that people will not feel stuffy, and solve the problem of insufficient comfort of single-dimensional air supply. In short, it can achieve multi-dimensional air supply in the front, back, left, and right directions, thereby improving the user's comfort experience.
[0090] For example, Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, when the air conditioner 1000 is an air conditioner on-hook unit, when the air guide component 100 is switched to the front air outlet state (for example Figure 5 As shown), the airflow out of the air outlet 200 passes through the front air guide strip 20 to guide the air, which can prevent the cold wind from blowing directly on the user, and part of the airflow can also flow out to the length sides of the air guide plate 1 through the air flow channel 12 and the side air outlet 13 (combined with Figure 9 , that is, the left and right sides), which can accelerate the stirring of the air in the whole house, promote the microcirculation of the air in the room, so that people will not feel stuffy, and through multi-dimensional air supply, quickly adjust the temperature, improve temperature uniformity, and enhance user comfort experience.
[0091] When the air guide component 100 is switched to the rear air outlet state (for example Figure 6 As shown), the airflow out of the air outlet 200 is guided backward through the air guide strip 20 on the rear side, which can solve the problem that the hot air cannot directly reach the user's feet, and part of the airflow can also flow out to the length sides of the air guide plate 1 through the air flow channel 12 and the side air outlet 13 (combined with Figure 9 , that is, the left and right sides), which can accelerate the stirring of the air in the whole house, promote the microcirculation of the air in the room, so that people will not feel stuffy, and through multi-dimensional air supply, quickly adjust the temperature, improve temperature uniformity, and enhance user comfort experience.
[0092] In addition, combined Figure 7When the air conditioner 1000 is an on-hook unit, the air guide component 100 can also have a front-to-back air outlet state. At this time, the air flow out of the air outlet 200 is divided into four streams. One stream passes through the front air guide strip 20 to guide the air forward, and one stream passes through the rear air guide strip 20 to guide the air backward. The other two streams are respectively discharged from the air flow channel 12 through the side air outlets 13 on both sides to the outside of the length ends of the air guide plate 1 (combined with the air flow channel 12). Figure 9 , that is, the left and right sides), which can accelerate the stirring of the air in the whole house, promote the microcirculation of the air in the room, so that people will not feel stuffy, and through multi-dimensional air supply, quickly adjust the temperature, improve temperature uniformity, and enhance user comfort experience.
[0093] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, an airflow channel 12 is defined between the two air guide strips 20, and the airflow channel 12 extends along the length direction F1 of the air guide plate 1, and the two ends of the airflow channel 12 in the extension direction are open to form side air outlets 13. The air guide plate 1 has a plurality of air vents 11 that pass through the inner surface 201 and the outer surface of the air guide plate 1, and the air vents 11 are connected to the airflow channel 12. Therefore, as described above, the air guide component 100 can have two air outlet dimensions in which air is discharged in directions away from each other by the two air guide strips 20, one air outlet dimension in which air is discharged through the airflow channel 12 and the air vents 11, and two air outlet dimensions in which air is discharged through the side air outlets 13 at both ends of the airflow channel 12, for a total of at least five air outlet dimensions (such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 The air is discharged in five directions: S1, S2, S3, S4 and S5 as shown in FIG.
[0094] Thus, on the basis of using the two air guide strips 20 to guide the air in directions away from each other, the air outlet of the air flow channel 12, the vent 11 and the side air outlet 13 can also be used to quickly stir the air in the whole house, promote the microcirculation of the air in the room, so that people will not feel stuffy, and can quickly adjust the temperature through multi-dimensional air supply, improve the temperature uniformity, and enhance the user's comfort experience. Moreover, when the air guide component 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention is used for an air conditioner, it can solve the problem of cold air blowing directly on the user and hot air not being able to reach the user's feet directly, while the air outlet of the air flow channel 12, the vent 11 and the side air outlet 13 can be used to accelerate the stirring of the air in the whole house, promote the microcirculation of the air in the room, so that people will not feel stuffy, and solve the problem of insufficient comfort of single-dimensional air supply. In short, it can achieve multi-dimensional air supply in the front, back, left, right and bottom, thereby enhancing the user's comfort experience.
[0095] For example, Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, when the air conditioner 1000 is an air conditioner on-hook unit, when the air guide component 100 is switched to the front air outlet state (for example Figure 5As shown), the airflow flowing out of the air outlet 200 passes through the front air guide strip 20 to guide the air, which can prevent the cold wind from blowing directly on the user, and part of the airflow can also flow out to the outside of the air guide plate 1 through the airflow channel 12 and the vent 11, and another part of the airflow flows out to the length sides of the air guide plate 1 through the airflow channel 12 and the side air outlet 13 (combined with Figure 9 , that is, the left and right sides), so that the air in the whole house can be stirred quickly, the microcirculation of the air in the room can be promoted, so that people will not feel stuffy, and through multi-dimensional air supply, the temperature can be adjusted quickly, the temperature uniformity can be improved, and the user's comfort experience can be enhanced.
[0096] When the air guide component 100 is switched to the rear air outlet state (for example Figure 6 As shown), the airflow flowing out of the air outlet 200 passes through the air guide strip 20 on the rear side to guide the air, which can solve the problem that the hot air cannot directly reach the user's feet. In addition, part of the airflow can also flow out to the outside of the air guide plate 1 through the air flow channel 12 and the vent 11, and another part of the airflow flows out to the length sides of the air guide plate 1 through the air flow channel 12 and the side air outlet 13 (combined with the airflow of the side air outlet 13). Figure 9 , that is, the left and right sides), so that the air in the whole house can be stirred quickly, the microcirculation of the air in the room can be promoted, so that people will not feel stuffy, and through multi-dimensional air supply, the temperature can be adjusted quickly, the temperature uniformity can be improved, and the user's comfort experience can be enhanced.
[0097] In addition, combined Figure 7 When the air conditioner 1000 is an on-hook unit, the air guide component 100 can also have a front-to-back air outlet state. At this time, the air flow out of the air outlet 200 is divided into five streams. One stream passes through the front air guide strip 20 to guide the air forward, one stream passes through the rear air guide strip 20 to guide the air backward, one stream passes through the air flow channel 12, the vent 11, and the side air outlet 13 to flow out to the outside of the air guide plate 1, and the other two streams pass through the air flow channel 12 through the side air outlets 13 on both sides to flow out to the outside of the length ends of the air guide plate 1 (combined with the air flow channel 12). Figure 9 , that is, the left and right sides), so that the air in the whole house can be stirred quickly, the microcirculation of the air in the room can be promoted, so that people will not feel stuffy, and through multi-dimensional air supply, the temperature can be adjusted quickly, the temperature uniformity can be improved, and the user's comfort experience can be enhanced.
[0098] In addition, combined Figure 8 When the air conditioner 1000 is hung up, the air guide component 100 can also have a closed state. At this time, the air guide component 100 blocks the air outlet 200. If the air conditioner 1000 is in the off state, no air will flow out from the air outlet 200. If the air conditioner is in the on state, the air flow out of the air outlet 200 can flow out to the outside of the air guide plate 1 through the air flow channel 12 and the vent 11. When the vent 11 is a micropore, a soft wind feeling (or windless feeling) can be achieved.
[0099] With the improvement of people's living standards, air conditioners have gradually entered thousands of households. However, the air outlet direction of air conditioners is single. By setting air guide plates and shutters, the air outlet angle can only be fine-tuned in the current air outlet direction, resulting in uneven indoor temperature and slow temperature adjustment speed. More specifically, when cooling or heating, the air conditioners in the related art have relatively concentrated cold air and hot air, and the temperature diffusion is uneven, which easily leads to slow temperature drop and temperature rise in the room. It also brings about the problem of uneven temperature, and the indoor air makes users feel stuffy, and the user experience is poor. According to the air guide component 100 of the embodiment of the present invention, on the basis of using two air guide strips 20 to guide air in directions away from each other, it can also use the air flow channel 12 in combination with the air outlet of the side air outlet 13 and / or the air vent 11 to achieve multi-dimensional air supply, thereby accelerating the stirring of air throughout the house, promoting microcirculation of air in the room, making people feel less stuffy, and quickly adjusting the temperature, improving temperature uniformity, and improving user comfort.
[0100] In addition, people exposed to cold air for long periods of time in an air-conditioned environment can develop various problems, such as air-conditioning sickness. Some air conditioners in related technologies, while effective in preventing direct cold air, fail to maintain cooling capacity in this mode, causing the room temperature to rise rapidly and resulting in poor comfort. The air guide component 100 of the embodiment of the invention, while simultaneously preventing direct cold air, rapidly stirs the air throughout the room, maintaining cooling capacity and keeping the room temperature low and uniform for increased comfort. Furthermore, the air flow rate in the room can be controlled, effectively solving the problem of preventing cold air from blowing in without making people feel stuffy indoors. The implementation is simple and reliable.
[0101] It is understandable that when the air conditioner 1000 is an on-hook air conditioner, Figure 5 As shown, the "front air outlet state" described in this article means that: the air guide component 100 moves toward the rear side of the air outlet 200, and a front air outlet opening is defined between the front end of the air guide component 100 and the front edge of the air outlet 200, and there is no rear air outlet opening between the rear end of the air guide component 100 and the rear edge of the air outlet 200. The airflow can be directed forward by the front air guide strip 20, but cannot be directed backward by the rear air guide strip 20.
[0102] It is understandable that when the air conditioner 1000 is an on-hook air conditioner, Figure 6 As shown, the "rear air outlet state" described in this article means that: the air guide component 100 moves toward the front side of the air outlet 200, there is no front air outlet opening between the front end of the air guide component 100 and the front edge of the air outlet 200, and a rear air outlet opening is defined between the rear end of the air guide component 100 and the rear edge of the air outlet 200. The airflow can be discharged backward by the rear air guide strip 20, but cannot be discharged forward by the front air guide strip 20.
[0103] It is understandable that when the air conditioner 1000 is an on-hook air conditioner, Figure 7 As shown, the "front and rear air outlet states" described in this article refer to: a front air outlet opening is defined between the front end of the air guide component 100 and the front edge of the air outlet 200, and a rear air outlet opening is defined between the rear end of the air guide component 100 and the rear edge of the air outlet 200. The airflow can be directed backward by the rear air guide strip 20, and can also be directed forward by the front air guide strip 20.
[0104] Among them, in the "front and rear air outlet state", the opening distance X1 of the front air outlet opening and the opening distance X2 of the rear air outlet opening are not limited, for example, both can be 0mm~200mm, further, the preferred range can be 28mm~55mm, so as to ensure the air supply effect.
[0105] It is understandable that when the air conditioner 1000 is an on-hook air conditioner, Figure 8 As shown, the "closed state" described in this article means that there is no front air outlet opening between the front end of the air guide component 100 and the front edge of the air outlet 200, and there is no rear air outlet opening between the rear end of the air guide component 100 and the rear edge of the air outlet 200. The air flow cannot be directed backward by the rear air guide strip 20, nor can it be directed forward by the front air guide strip 20.
[0106] In some examples, when the airflow channel 12 extends along the length direction F1 of the air guide plate 1 and is open at both ends in the extension direction to form side air outlets 13, when closed, the side air outlets 13 can be hidden within the body 700 of the air conditioner 1000. Thus, when the air conditioner 1000 is turned off, dirt and the like can be prevented from entering the air conditioner 1000 through the side air outlets 13, thereby improving the reliability and sealing performance of the air conditioner 1000.
[0107] It should be noted that the shape of the air guide plate 1 is not limited, for example, it can be designed to match the appearance of the air conditioner 1000. For example, in some specific examples, such as Figure 5-Figure 8 As shown, the outer surface of the air guide plate 1 can be formed into a plane, which is convenient for processing. Moreover, when the air guide component 100 is applied to the air outlet 200 on the front side of the bottom of the air conditioner, when the air guide component 100 is in a closed state, the bottom surface of the air conditioner can be ensured to be flat, thereby saving space.
[0108] For example, in some specific examples, Figure 10-11As shown, the outer surface of the air guide plate 1 can be formed as an outward convex surface, that is, the middle part of the outer surface of the air guide plate 1 protrudes toward the outside of the air guide plate 1, so that the setting range of the air vent 11 can be increased to a certain extent, thereby increasing the air volume and range of the air discharged from the air vent 11, and improving the effect of stirring the air in the whole house. Moreover, when the air guide component 100 is applied to the air outlet 200 on the front side and the lower front side of the bottom of the air-conditioning wall-mounted unit, when the air guide component 100 is in a closed state, the appearance surface of the front lower corner of the air-conditioning wall-mounted unit can be ensured to be smooth, thereby saving space and avoiding problems such as collision with users.
[0109] It should be noted that the height of the air guide strip 20 is not limited, for example Figure 4 As shown, in the thickness direction F3 of the wind guide plate 1, the relationship between the height H of the wind guide strip 20 and the width W of the wind guide plate 1 can be: W / 8≤H≤W / 3, for example, H=W / 3, H=W / 4, H=W / 5, H=W / 6, H=W / 7, H=W / 8, etc., thereby ensuring the wind guiding effect.
[0110] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 12 As shown, the side surface (ie, the inner surface 201) of at least one air guide strip 20 facing away from the air guide plate 1 includes an extension portion 23 (eg, Figure 12 The extension portion 23 is located on the side of the airflow channel 12 away from the air guide plate 1 (shown by the dotted circle). It should be noted that the "median vertical plane S of the air guide plate 1" refers to the plane extending through the center of the air guide plate 1, along the longitudinal direction F1 of the air guide plate 1, and perpendicular to the plane of the air guide plate 1. Therefore, by extending the air inlet end 202 of the air guide strip 20 toward the median vertical plane S of the air guide plate 1 (i.e., extending it in the direction from the air outlet end 203 of the air guide strip 20 to the air inlet end 202), the air guide area of the air guide strip 20 is increased, ensuring smoother airflow.
[0111] In some embodiments of the present invention, at least one air guide strip 20 has at least one guide groove 25, and the guide groove 25 extends from the air inlet end 202 of the corresponding air guide strip 20 to the air outlet end 203 of the air guide strip 20. It should be noted that the setting position of the guide groove 25 is not limited. For example, it can be formed inside and / or outside the air guide strip 20 (for example, it can be the internal guide groove 252 and / or the external guide groove 251 described later), so that the guide groove 25 can be used for diversion, so as to better stir the air, improve the temperature regulation efficiency, and improve the temperature uniformity.
[0112] In some embodiments of the present invention, when an air guide strip 20 has a guide groove 25 (e.g., the internal guide groove 252 and / or the external guide groove 251 described below), the guide grooves 25 may be provided in plurality and spaced apart along the longitudinal direction F1 of the air guide strip 20. Thus, the guide grooves 25 provide a more pronounced air guiding effect, can better stir the air, improve temperature regulation efficiency, and enhance temperature uniformity.
[0113] In some embodiments of the present invention, when an air guide strip 20 has a guide groove 25 (for example, the internal guide groove 252 and / or the external guide groove 251 described below), optionally, the extension direction of at least one guide groove 25 is perpendicular to the length direction F1 of the air guide strip 20, thereby facilitating processing. Alternatively, the extension direction of at least one guide groove 25 is inclined to the length direction F1 and the width direction F2 of the air guide strip 20. In other words, the extension direction of at least one guide groove 25 intersects the length direction F1 of the air guide strip 20 at an acute angle or an obtuse angle, thereby adjusting the air supply angle to meet the needs of different application scenarios, and can better stir the air, improve temperature regulation efficiency, and improve temperature uniformity.
[0114] It should be noted that the specific structure of the air guide strip 20 is not limited and can be in various forms. Four optional embodiments are introduced below.
[0115] Example 1, as Figure 13-15 As shown, the surface of at least one air guide strip 20 facing away from the air guide plate 1 (i.e., the inner surface 201) is a smooth surface, which can be a smooth plane or a smooth curved surface, as long as it does not have a guide groove 25. This facilitates processing, and the airflow is stable and the air outlet is smooth.
[0116] Example 2, as Figures 16-20 As shown, at least one air guide strip 20 has at least one guide groove 25, which extends from the air inlet end 202 of the corresponding air guide strip 20 to the air outlet end 203 of the air guide strip 20. In this embodiment, the guide groove 25 includes an external guide groove 251 formed on the outside of the corresponding air guide strip 20, and the external guide groove 251 is formed on the side surface of the corresponding air guide strip 20 that faces away from the air guide plate 1 (i.e., the inner surface 201). It should be noted that the portion of the inner surface 201 of the air guide strip 20 located between two adjacent external guide grooves 251 is a spacing portion 26. Therefore, a portion of the airflow flowing out along the inner surface 201 of the air guide strip 20 can flow out through the guidance of the spacing portion 26, and the other portion can flow out along the guidance of the external guide groove 251, thereby further agitating the air, improving the temperature regulation efficiency, and improving the temperature uniformity.
[0117] Alternatively, as Figure 20As shown, the guide surface 2510 (i.e., the bottom surface of the groove) of the external guide groove 251 is configured as a curved surface that is concave toward the air guide plate 1. Therefore, when the air guide strip 20 is used to adjust the direction of the cold air supply, the guide surface 2510 of the external guide groove 251 can be used to prevent the cold air from blowing directly downward on the user, thereby improving the user's comfort.
[0118] It should be noted that the external guide groove 251 can extend in a direction perpendicular to the length direction F1 of the air guide strip 20, or can extend in a direction intersecting the length direction F1 of the air guide strip 20 at an acute angle or an obtuse angle, thereby meeting the air supply requirements in different directions. Figure 16 In the specific example shown, the first air guide strip 21 includes two sub-segments 207, a first sub-segment 211 and a second sub-segment 212, arranged sequentially along the length direction F1 of the air guide plate 1. Each of the multiple external guide grooves 251 on the first sub-segment 211 is inclined in a direction away from the second sub-segment 212 in the direction from the air inlet end 202 to the air outlet end 203. Each of the multiple external guide grooves 251 on the second sub-segment 212 is inclined in a direction away from the first sub-segment 211 in the direction from the air inlet end 202 to the air outlet end 203. This allows for simultaneous dual-sided air supply, expanding the air supply range in the left-right direction, thereby better agitating the air, improving temperature regulation efficiency, and enhancing temperature uniformity.
[0119] Of course, the present invention is not limited to this. When the air conditioner is installed in a corner of the room, the inclination direction of the external guide groove 251 on the first sub-segment 211 and the inclination direction of the external guide groove 251 on the second sub-segment 212 can be set to be the same, thereby realizing single-sided air supply on the same side, increasing the air supply range in the left direction or the right direction, thereby better stirring the air, improving the temperature regulation efficiency, and improving the temperature uniformity.
[0120] Example 3, as Figures 21-26 As shown, at least one air guide strip 20 has at least one guide groove 25, which extends from the air inlet end 202 of the corresponding air guide strip 20 to the air outlet end 203 of the air guide strip 20. In this embodiment, the guide groove 25 includes an internal guide groove 252 formed inside the corresponding air guide strip 20. The inlet 2521 and outlet 2522 of the internal guide groove 252 both penetrate the surface of the corresponding air guide strip 20, that is, the inlet 2521 of the internal guide groove 252 penetrates the air inlet end 202 of the air guide strip 20, and the outlet 2522 of the internal guide groove 252 penetrates the air outlet end 203 of the air guide strip 20. As a result, the airflow can not only flow out along the guide on the inner surface 201 of the air guide strip 20, but also flow out along the guide of the internal guide groove 252, thereby further agitating the air, improving the temperature regulation efficiency, and improving the temperature uniformity.
[0121] It should be noted that the internal guide grooves 252 can extend in a direction perpendicular to the length direction F1 of the air guide strip 20, or can extend in a direction intersecting at an acute angle or an obtuse angle with the length direction F1 of the air guide strip 20, thereby meeting air supply requirements in different directions. For example, in some specific examples, the air guide strip 20 can include two parts of equal length and arranged in sequence along the length direction F1 of the air guide plate 1. Each of the multiple internal guide grooves 252 on the left part is tilted to the left in the direction from the air inlet end 202 to the air outlet end 203, and each of the multiple internal guide grooves 252 on the right part is tilted to the right in the direction from the air inlet end 202 to the air outlet end 203. In this way, air supply can be achieved on both sides of the same side, increasing the air supply range in the left and right directions, thereby better stirring the air, improving temperature regulation efficiency, and improving temperature uniformity.
[0122] Of course, the present invention is not limited to this. When the air conditioner is installed in a corner of the room, the inclination direction of all the internal guide grooves 252 on the air guide strip 20 can be set to be consistent, so as to achieve single-sided air supply on the same side, increase the air supply range in the left direction or the right direction, so as to better stir the air, improve the temperature regulation efficiency, and improve the temperature uniformity.
[0123] In the fourth embodiment, at least one air guide strip 20 has at least one guide groove 25, and the guide groove 25 extends from the air inlet end 202 of the corresponding air guide strip 20 to the air outlet end 203 of the air guide strip 20. In this embodiment, the guide groove 25 includes an external guide groove 251 formed on the outside of the corresponding air guide strip 20, and the external guide groove 251 is formed on the side surface of the corresponding air guide strip 20 facing away from the air guide plate 1 (i.e., the inner surface 201). At the same time, the guide groove 25 also includes an internal guide groove 252 formed on the inside of the corresponding air guide strip 20, and the inlet 2521 and the outlet 2522 of the internal guide groove 252 both pass through the surface of the corresponding air guide strip 20, that is, the inlet 2521 of the internal guide groove 252 passes through the air inlet end 202 of the air guide strip 20, and the outlet 2522 of the internal guide groove 252 passes through the air outlet end 203 of the air guide strip 20. Therefore, the airflow can not only flow out along the inner surface 201 of the air guide strip 20 and the external guide groove 251, but also flow out along the internal guide groove 252, thereby further stirring the air, improving the temperature regulation efficiency, and improving the temperature uniformity.
[0124] In some embodiments of the present invention, at least one air guide strip 20 has at least one guide groove 25, and the guide groove 25 extends from the air inlet end 202 of the corresponding air guide strip 20 to the air outlet end 203 of the air guide strip 20 (for example, but not limited to the above-mentioned embodiment 2, the above-mentioned embodiment 3, and the above-mentioned embodiment 4), so as to better stir the air, improve the temperature regulation efficiency, and improve the temperature uniformity.
[0125] In some embodiments of the present invention, at least a portion of the surface of at least one air guide strip 20 facing away from the air guide plate 1 (i.e., the inner surface 201) is configured as a curved surface that is concave toward the air guide plate 1. Thus, when using the air guide strip 20 to adjust the direction of cold air flow, the cold air can be prevented from blowing directly downward on the user, thereby improving user comfort. For example, the inner surface 201 of the air guide strip 20 in the first embodiment can be entirely configured as a curved surface that is concave toward the air guide plate 1. For another example, the guide surface of the guide groove 25 in the second, third, and fourth embodiments can be configured as a curved surface that is concave toward the air guide plate 1.
[0126] In some embodiments of the present invention, a cavity 24 is formed in at least one air guide strip 20, thereby reducing weight and cost, and improving problems such as condensation forming on the outer surface of the air guide plate 1. For example, the air guide strip 20 of the first or second embodiment described above may have a cavity 24 formed therein, and the internal guide groove 252 of the third and fourth embodiments described above may serve as the cavity 24.
[0127] It should be noted that the specific connection method between the air guide strip 20 and the air guide plate 1 is not limited. For example, in some embodiments, at least one air guide strip 20 and the air guide plate 1 are integrated. This facilitates processing and can improve the connection reliability between the air guide strip 20 and the air guide plate 1. It should be noted that the integrated part can be an integrated molded part or a secondary injection molded part, etc.
[0128] Alternatively, in some other embodiments, at least one air guide strip 20 and the air guide plate 1 are separate parts and are assembled and connected. As a result, the air guide strip 20 and the air guide plate 1 can be separately processed into a structural form that meets their respective air guide requirements, which is convenient for processing and can be simply and effectively required. It should be noted that the specific method of assembly and connection is not limited. It can be a non-detachable assembly connection, such as bonding, riveting, etc., or a detachable assembly connection, such as threaded connection, snap connection, magnetic connection, etc., so that the air guide strip 20 can be disassembled as needed for cleaning, replacement, maintenance, etc.
[0129] For example, in some specific examples, at least one air guide strip 20 is detachably connected to the air guide plate 1 through a snap assembly 3 and / or a magnetic assembly, that is, it is detachably connected through at least one of the snap assembly 3 and the magnetic assembly. Thus, there is no need to tighten the screws, which facilitates disassembly. Figures 27-30 In the example shown, the snap-fit assemblies 3 are in multiple groups and are spaced apart along the length direction F1 of the air guide plate 1 , thereby improving the reliability of the snap-fit connection.
[0130] In some specific examples, such as Figures 27-31As shown, the snap assembly 3 is provided on the side of the corresponding air guide strip 20 facing the airflow channel 12, and the side of the air guide strip 20 facing away from the airflow channel 12 (i.e., the air outlet end 203 of the air guide strip 20) is limited and engaged with the air guide plate 1 via the stopper assembly 4. This reduces interference with the airflow caused by the snap assembly 3 and the stopper assembly 4, and ensures simple and effective assembly reliability and convenience of the air guide strip 20.
[0131] In some specific examples, such as Figure 28 and Figure 30 As shown, a groove 27 is formed on the surface of the air guide strip 20 on the side facing the air flow channel 12. The snap assembly 3 includes a block 31 disposed in the groove 27. The snap assembly 3 also includes a hook 32 disposed on the air guide plate 1. The hook 32 extends into the groove 27 and snaps into engagement with the block 31. Thus, by providing the hook 32 on the air guide plate 1, processing is facilitated, and assembly of the hook 32 and the block 31 is simple and reliable. By providing the groove 27 to accommodate the block 31, the hook 32 and the block 31 are prevented from occupying space in the air flow channel 12, thereby reducing interference with the air flow caused by the snap assembly 3.
[0132] In some specific examples, such as 30 and Figure 31 As shown, the limiting assembly 4 includes a limiting slot 41 and a limiting insert 42. The limiting slot 41 is formed on the width side edge of the air guide plate 1 (i.e., extending along the length direction F1 of the air guide plate 1 and located on one side edge of the air guide plate 1 in the width direction F2). The limiting insert 42 is provided on the side of the air guide strip 20 facing away from the air flow channel 12 (i.e., the air outlet end 203 of the air guide strip 20). The limiting insert 42 is inserted into the limiting slot 41. As a result, the processing of the limiting slot 41 and the limiting insert 42 is relatively simple, and assembly is convenient, and the limiting effect is reliable.
[0133] In some specific examples of the present invention, Figure 30 and Figure 31 As shown, the air guide strip 20 may include a first wall 204 and a second wall 205, both of which extend along the length direction F1 of the air guide plate 1, and the first wall 204 serves as a side wall of the air flow channel 12. The first wall 204 may have a groove 27 and a block 31, and one end of the second wall 205 is connected to the end of the first wall 204 away from the air guide plate 1 as the air inlet end 202 of the air guide strip 20, and the other end of the second wall 205 extends toward the direction close to the air guide plate 1 and serves as the air outlet end 203 of the air guide strip 20, and the outer surface of the second wall 205 is the inner surface 201 of the air guide strip 20, and the end of the second wall 205 close to the air guide plate 1 may have a limiting plug 42.
[0134] Thus, the air guide strip 20 has a simple structure, a hollow interior, and is lightweight, which can alleviate the problem of condensation forming on the air guide plate 1. Furthermore, when assembled with the air guide plate 1, since the air guide strip 20 does not have a third wall 206 that contacts the inner surface of the air guide plate 1, there is no significant face-to-face contact. This can reduce machining accuracy and ensure smooth assembly, while also preventing the air guide strip 20 from causing deformation of the air guide plate 1. However, the present invention is not limited to this. In other examples of the present invention, the air guide strip 20 may also have a third wall 206 to improve the structural strength of the air guide strip 20.
[0135] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 16 As shown, the two air guide strips 20 can be symmetrically arranged about the mid-vertical plane S of the air guide plate 1. This facilitates processing. Moreover, when the two air guide strips 20 are detachably connected to the air guide plate 1, processing and assembly can be facilitated. That is, during processing, there is no need to process two types of air guide strips 20, and during assembly, there is no need to select the air guide strips 20, and interchangeability is achieved.
[0136] In some specific examples of the present invention, Figure 16 As shown, at least one air guide strip 20 includes multiple sub-segments 207 arranged in sequence along the length direction F1 of the air guide plate 1. Each sub-segment 207 is detachably connected to the air guide plate 1, and the mounting positions of the multiple sub-segments 207 are interchangeable. Thus, when the multiple sub-segments 207 have the same air guiding function, assembly is facilitated. When the multiple sub-segments 207 have different air guiding functions, different air guiding effects can be achieved by interchanging the positions of the different sub-segments 207.
[0137] In some specific examples, both air guide strips 20 include a plurality of sub-segments 207 arranged in sequence along the length direction F1 of the air guide plate 1. Each sub-segment 207 is detachably connected to the air guide plate 1, and the installation positions of all sub-segments 207 are interchangeable, thereby facilitating installation, and in some cases, different air guide effects can be combined.
[0138] For example, Figure 16 In the specific example shown, each air guide strip 20 is split in the middle into two sub-segments 207. Each sub-segment 207 is detachably connected to the air guide plate 1. The positions of any two of the four sub-segments 207 can be interchanged, thereby achieving any combination of the four sub-segments 207. This facilitates installation, and when the four sub-segments 207 have different structures and air guide effects, they can be combined to achieve different air guide effects.
[0139] Next, an embodiment in which the air guide member 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention is applied to an air conditioner 1000 will be described.
[0140] like Figure 32-Figure 33As shown, the air conditioner 1000 may include: a body 700, an air guide component 100 and a driving mechanism 800. The body 700 has an air duct 601, and the body 700 has an air inlet 300 and an air outlet 200 connected to the air duct 601. The air guide component 100 is provided at the air outlet 200. The driving mechanism 800 is connected between the air guide component 100 and the body 700, and is used to drive the air guide component 100 to move relative to the body 700. Therefore, the air conditioner 1000 according to the embodiment of the present invention, by providing the above-mentioned air guide component 100 and driving the air guide component 100 to move through the driving mechanism 800, can realize multi-dimensional air supply and switching, thereby accelerating the stirring of the air in the whole house, promoting the microcirculation of the air in the room, making people feel not stuffy, and can quickly adjust the temperature, improve the temperature uniformity, and enhance the user's comfort experience. For example, in some specific examples, combined with Figure 5 The body 700 may include a heat exchange component 400, a ventilation component 500 and an air duct component 600. The heat exchange component 400 may include a heat exchanger, electric auxiliary heating, etc. The ventilation component 500 may include a fan, a motor, etc. The air duct component 600 may define an air duct 601.
[0141] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 27 and Figure 28 As shown, two mounting seats 5 are provided on the inner surface of the air deflector 1. The two mounting seats 5 are located on both sides of the length of the air deflector assembly 2, that is, on both sides in the longitudinal direction F1 of the air deflector 1. The driving mechanism 800 is adapted to connect with the mounting seats 5 to mount the air deflector component 100 to the body 700. This ensures that the driving mechanism 800 is located on both sides of the air deflector assembly 2, thereby avoiding interference with the airflow and ensuring the air outlet effect.
[0142] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 32 and Figure 33 As shown, the air conditioner 1000 is a wall mounted air conditioner, with the air outlet 200 formed on the bottom front side and / or the lower front side of the body 700. The driving mechanism 800 drives the air guide component 100 to move and / or rotate, thereby simply and effectively driving the air guide component 100 to switch between different states. It should be noted that the movable state can include reciprocating movement along a straight line and / or a curved trajectory. Thus, the air guide component 100 can be driven to switch between at least one of the aforementioned closed state, front air outlet state, rear air outlet state, and front and rear air outlet states.
[0143] Specifically, when the driving mechanism 800 can drive the air guide component 100 to move, the moving direction of the air guide component 100 can be determined according to the setting position of the air outlet 200.
[0144] For example, Figure 5-Figure 8As shown, when the air outlet 200 is formed at the bottom front side of the body 700, the moving direction of the air guide component 100 can be a straight downward direction. When the driving mechanism 800 drives the air guide component 100 to move downward to the sinking position, the air outlet 200 can be opened. The driving mechanism 800 can drive the air guide component 100 to rotate in the sinking position, thereby switching the front air outlet state (for example, Figure 5 As shown), rear air outlet state (for example Figure 6 shown) and front and rear airflow status (e.g. Figure 7 As shown), when the driving mechanism 800 drives the air guide component 100 to move upward to the raised position, the air guide component 100 may be in a closed state (eg Figure 8 shown).
[0145] For example, Figure 10-11 As shown, when the air outlet 200 is formed at the bottom front side and the lower front side of the body 700, the moving direction of the air guide component 100 can be an oblique direction along a straight line or a curve. When the driving mechanism 800 drives the air guide component 100 to move obliquely downward to the oblique push-out position, the air outlet 200 can be opened. The driving mechanism 800 can drive the air guide component 100 to rotate at the oblique push-out position, thereby switching the front air outlet state (for example Figure 11 shown), rear air outlet state (not shown in the figure) and front and rear air outlet state (for example Figure 10 As shown in the figure), when the driving mechanism 800 drives the air guide component 100 to move obliquely upward to the obliquely pulled back position, the air guide component 100 can be in a closed state (this state is not shown in the figure).
[0146] It should be noted that the specific composition of the driving mechanism 800 is not limited, for example, it may include gears, racks, connecting rods, etc. to achieve movement and rotation, which is not limited here. In the front and rear air outlet states, the air flow can be respectively directed forward and backward from the air guide strip 20 of the air guide component 100, as well as from the vent 11 and / or the side air outlet 13, thereby improving the cold wind or hot air blowing directly on the user; in the rear air outlet state, the air flow can be directed backward from the air guide component 100 to direct the air flow downward to ensure the warm foot effect, and in the front air outlet state, the air flow can be directed forward from the air guide component 100 to improve the problem of cold wind blowing on people. In short, it is easy to achieve the effect of preventing direct blowing from the top and bottom and having a multi-dimensional air outlet effect, meeting people's needs for wind shelter in different areas and improving the user's experience and comfort. For example, through testing, in the front and rear air outlet states, the temperature at the room with the largest air volume is evenly layered, the difference between the highest temperature and the lowest temperature does not exceed 5°, and the temperature difference at adjacent heights does not exceed 0.5°. This test result proves the advantage of the air guide component 100 of the embodiment of the present invention in quickly and evenly adjusting the room temperature.
