DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] In order to facilitate the understanding of the present invention, the present invention is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0025] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that the directions or positional relationships indicated by terms such as “front”, “rear”, “left”, “right”, “up”, “down”, and “inside” are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings and are only for the convenience of description. They do not indicate or imply that the device or component referred to must have a specific direction, be constructed and operated in a specific direction. Therefore, they cannot be understood as limitations on the present invention.

[0026] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the air-conditioning air-guiding structure with optional lateral air outlet direction disclosed in the present invention improves the air guide plate 300 arranged at the air outlet 200 of the existing air-conditioning indoor unit 100, and the air guide plate 300 adjusts the air outlet volume and air outlet direction of the air outlet 200 by its own rotation. The present invention adds two groups of swing blade assemblies to the air guide plate 300, and guides the airflow at the air outlet 200 to the side of the air outlet 200 through the swing blade assemblies.

[0027] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the two groups of swing blade assemblies used in the present invention are respectively a main swing blade assembly 510 and a side swing blade assembly 520, wherein the main swing blade assembly 510 is extended along the length direction of the air guide plate 300, and the side swing blade assembly 520 is extended along the width direction of the air guide plate 300 and is arranged at one end of the air guide plate 300, and the side swing blade assembly 520 is inclined toward the end direction of the main swing blade assembly 510, so that a lateral air duct for exhausting air can be formed at one end of the air guide plate 300; a plurality of rotatable swing blades 410 are provided on the main swing blade assembly 510 and the side swing blade assembly 520, and the opening and closing of the air duct is achieved by rotating the swing blades 410.

[0028] The present invention can adjust the lateral air outlet direction according to the actual use position of the air conditioner in the user's use environment, because the main swing blade assembly 510 and the side swing blade assembly 520 in the present invention can be detachably installed on the air guide plate 300, and the lateral air outlet direction of the air conditioner can be adjusted by changing the installation position of the main swing blade assembly 510 and the side swing blade assembly 520. Figure 1 As shown, when the user's environment is such that the right side of the installation position of the air conditioner indoor unit is close to the wall, the user's activity range is basically located in the front or left side of the air conditioner. When installing the air conditioner indoor unit, you can choose to adjust it to the left wide-area air supply mode, that is, install the side swing blade assembly 520 at the left installation position of the air guide plate 300, and at the same time adjust the installation position of the main swing blade assembly 510 so that the main swing blade assembly 510 moves to the left to be close to the side swing blade assembly 520. At this time, the air conditioner can realize wide-area air supply to the front and left directions. Figure 2As shown, when the installation position of the indoor unit of the air conditioner is close to the wall on the left side in the user's usage environment, the user's activity range is basically located in the front or right side of the air conditioner. Then, when installing the indoor unit of the air conditioner, you can choose to adjust it to the right wide-area air supply mode, that is, install the side swing blade assembly 520 at the right installation position of the air guide plate 300, and at the same time adjust the installation position of the main swing blade assembly 510 so that the main swing blade assembly 510 moves to the right to be close to the side swing blade assembly 520. At this time, the air conditioner can achieve wide-area air supply to the front and right directions. Therefore, the present invention improves the traditional air outlet air guide structure of the air conditioner into an air conditioner air guide structure with optional lateral air outlet direction through the flexibly detachable main swing blade assembly 510 and the side swing blade assembly 520. The combination mode of the air outlet direction can be selected according to the specific installation position of the user's air conditioner indoor unit.

[0029] Since the angle between the main swing blade assembly 510 and the inclined side swing blade assembly 520 affects the range of the lateral wide-area air supply of the air conditioner, in order to achieve a wider range of wide-area air supply, the angle between the side swing blade assembly 520 and the main swing blade assembly 510 is preferably greater than 90°.

[0030] like Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the structures of the main swing blade assembly 510 and the side swing blade assembly 520 in the swing blade assembly are basically the same, both of which include a mounting bar 420 and a driving connecting rod 430. The difference is that there is a difference in the number of swing blades 410 installed on the main swing blade assembly 510 and the side swing blade assembly 520. Since the length of the main swing blade assembly 510 is longer than that of the side swing blade assembly 520, the number of swing blades 410 on the main swing blade assembly 510 is greater than the number of swing blades 410 on the side swing blade assembly 520. In the present invention, the mounting strip 420 is used to fix the swing blade assembly on the air guide plate 300. The mounting strip 420 is detachably connected to the air guide plate 300. A plurality of swing blade mounting holes corresponding to the swing blades 410 are evenly spaced on the mounting strip 420. The swing blades 410 are inserted into the corresponding swing blade mounting holes, and the driving connecting rod 430 is movably connected to the swing blades 410 on the same mounting strip 420. By pulling the driving connecting rod 430, all the swing blades 410 connected thereto can be driven to rotate synchronously. The swing blades 410 guide the airflow through their own rotation, thereby realizing the opening and closing of the corresponding air duct.

[0031] like Figures 3 to 5As shown, the rotatable fit between the pendulum blade 410 and the pendulum blade mounting hole on the mounting bar 420 is achieved by the pendulum blade rotating shaft 411 arranged at the bottom of the pendulum blade 410. The outer diameter of the pendulum blade rotating shaft 411 is smaller than the pendulum blade mounting hole. The pendulum blade rotating shaft 411 is inserted into the corresponding pendulum blade mounting hole to form a clearance fit. Further, in order to prevent the pendulum blade 410 from detaching from the mounting bar 420, the present invention adds a limit block 412 to the pendulum blade rotating shaft 411 of the pendulum blade 410. The limit block 412 is fixed to the end of the pendulum blade rotating shaft 411 that is not connected to the pendulum blade 410. The outer diameter of the limit block 412 is larger than the aperture of the pendulum blade mounting hole to limit the position of the pendulum blade 410.

[0032] In order not to affect the rotation of the swing blade 410, the present invention sets the mounting strip 420 as a "J"-shaped strip structure with two ends of the mounting strip 420 continuously bent vertically. Both ends of the mounting strip 420 are provided with fixed mounting holes 421. The mounting strip 420 is detachably connected to the air guide plate 300 through a fastener passing through the fixed mounting hole 421. The fastener here can be a screw or bolt commonly used in the art. With the mounting strip 420 of this structure, the middle protrusion of the mounting strip 420 makes way for the swing blade rotation shaft 411 and the limit block 412 at the bottom of the swing blade 410, providing space for the swing blade 410 to rotate, and will not hinder the normal rotation of the swing blade 410.

[0033] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the detachable connection between the swing blade assembly and the air guide plate 300 in the present invention is achieved by means of mounting holes provided on the air guide plate 300. A group of mounting holes is provided at each end of the air guide plate 300. The two groups of mounting holes are symmetrical with respect to the longitudinal center line of the air guide plate 300, and the mounting holes are adapted to the fixed mounting holes 421 at both ends of the mounting strip 420. Specifically, the mounting holes include a first main mounting hole 610, a second main mounting hole 620, a first side mounting hole 630, and a second side mounting hole 640; the first main mounting hole 610, the second main mounting hole 620, and the second side mounting hole 640 in the two groups of mounting holes are arranged along the length direction of the air guide plate 300, and the second side mounting hole 640 is located between the first main mounting hole 610 and the second main mounting hole 620; the first side mounting hole 630 and the first main mounting hole 610 are arranged along the width direction of the air guide plate 300. When wide-area air supply is required on the left side, such as Figure 1 As shown, the side swing blade assembly 520 is installed at the left mounting hole position on the air guide plate 300, so that the two ends of the side swing blade assembly 520 are respectively connected to the first side mounting hole position 630 and the second side mounting hole position 640 in the left mounting hole position, and at the same time, the two ends of the main swing blade assembly 510 are respectively connected to the second main mounting hole position 620 in the left mounting hole position and the first main mounting hole position 610 in the right mounting hole position; when wide-area air supply on the right side is required, as shown in FIG. Figure 2As shown, the side swing blade assembly 520 is installed at the right side mounting hole on the air guide plate 300, so that the two ends of the side swing blade assembly 520 are respectively connected to the first side mounting hole 630 and the second side mounting hole 640 in the right side mounting hole, and at the same time, the two ends of the main swing blade assembly 510 are respectively connected to the second main mounting hole 620 in the right side mounting hole and the first main mounting hole 610 in the left side mounting hole.

[0034] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the air guide plate 300 is rotatably arranged in the air outlet 200 of the air-conditioning indoor unit 100, and the air guide plate 300 realizes the closing and opening of the air outlet 200 by its own rotation; the main swing blade assembly 510 and the side swing blade assembly 520 are both arranged on the inner side surface of the air guide plate 300, that is, the side of the air guide plate 300 facing the inside of the air-conditioning indoor unit 100. The rotatable connection of the air guide plate 300 on the air conditioner indoor unit 100 is achieved by the cooperation of the air guide plate slide 310 and the air guide plate rotating shaft 320. The two air guide plate slides 310 are distributed and fixed at the two end ends of the air guide plate 300, and the air guide plate slides 310 extend along the width direction of the air guide plate 300; the two air guide plate rotating shafts 320 matched with the air guide plate slides 310 are respectively fixed at the two ends of the air outlet 200 of the air conditioner indoor unit 100, and the two air guide plate rotating shafts 320 are respectively inserted into the corresponding air guide plate slides 310, so that the air guide plate 300 can rotate under the drive of the air guide plate driving mechanism. The air guide structure of the air conditioner in the present invention moves synchronously with the rotation of the air guide plate 300. When the air conditioner is working, the air guide plate 300 can guide the air outlet of the air conditioner laterally and further guide the air outlet longitudinally. At the same time, since the air guide structure of the air conditioner moves as a whole with the air guide plate 300, the lateral air outlet of the air guide plate 300 will not be restricted by the lateral wall of the air outlet 200, thereby achieving three-dimensional wide-area air supply with a wider range and smoother air outlet, effectively improving the air outlet effect.

[0035] The present invention also discloses an air conditioner provided with an air-conditioning air-guiding structure with optional lateral air outlet directions as described above.
