[0034] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0035] like Figures 1 to 6As shown, the present invention provides an air guide assembly, comprising: an air guide frame 1, wherein an air supply duct 11 is formed therein; an air guide structure 2, wherein the air guide structure 2 is swingably disposed on the air guide frame 1, wherein an air guide duct 21 is formed therein, wherein the air guide duct 21 is connected to the air supply duct 11; the air guide duct 21 is shaped like a spherical table, and the flow area of ​​the air guide duct 21 gradually decreases as it moves away from the air guide frame 1. The air outlet direction of the air guide duct 21 is adjustable under the swing of the air guide structure 2, and the spherical surface of the spherical table does not generate wind resistance to the airflow, so that the air supply direction can be reliably changed while ensuring that the airflow velocity and flow loss through the air guide duct 21 are small. Moreover, the spherical surface of the spherical table is used to guide the airflow, so that the airflow through the air guide duct 21 is more concentrated, thereby pressurizing the airflow and increasing the air pressure at the air outlet, thereby effectively increasing the air supply distance and effectively improving user comfort.

[0036] Preferably, the air guide structure 2 is in the shape of a spherical table, and a spherical table-shaped air guide duct 21 is formed inside the air guide structure 2 .

[0037] The air guide duct 21 has a first end surface 22 and a second end surface 23 . The diameter of the first end surface 22 is larger than the diameter of the second end surface 23 , and the second end surface 23 forms an air outlet.

[0038] Optionally, the center of the ball where the air guide duct 21 is located is located on the first end surface 22. At this time, the entrance of the air guide duct 21 reaches the maximum area, which increases the aggregation effect of the air entering the air guide duct 21 as much as possible, thereby maximizing the wind pressure at the air outlet and thus increasing the air supply distance.

[0039] In one embodiment, the air guide assembly includes an air guide grille, which is provided at the air outlet. The air guide grille is used to increase the structural strength of the air outlet, ensuring that the air outlet does not deform during the swinging of the air guide structure 2, thereby preventing the air outlet from affecting the air outlet effect.

[0040] The cross-section of the air guide frame 1 is circular, and the center of the sphere containing the air guide duct 21 is located on the line along the axis of the air guide frame 1. When the air guide structure 2 swings, the swing angle it can achieve in the first extreme position is the same as the swing angle it can achieve in the second extreme position, thereby maximizing the swing angle of the air guide structure 2 and thereby improving the air supply effect.

[0041] Specifically, the swing angle range of the air guide structure 2 is -15° to 15°, and when the swing angle is 0°, the air outlet direction of the air guide duct 21 is the same as the air outlet direction of the air supply duct.

[0042] To prevent gas leakage between the air supply duct 11 and the air guide duct 21, the air guide frame 1 includes a gradually expanding section 12. The diameter of the gradually expanding section 12 gradually increases along the direction of airflow within the air supply duct 11. The gradually expanding section 12 is located within the air guide duct 21. The gradually expanding section 12 minimizes the gap between the air supply duct 11 and the air guide duct 21. Because the air guide duct 21 has a spherical table structure and the gradually expanding section 12 has a circular cross-section, the spacing between the gradually expanding section 12 and the structure does not change when the air guide structure 2 swings to any position. This effectively prevents air volume loss while ensuring smooth operation.

[0043] The air guide assembly further includes a rotating structure, and the air guide structure 2 is connected to the air guide frame 1 via the rotating structure.

[0044] In order to facilitate the arrangement of the rotating structure and the connection between the air guide structure 2 and the air guide frame 1 , part of the air guide frame 1 is located in the air guide duct 21 , and the rotating structure is located between the air guide frame 1 and the air guide structure 2 .

[0045] The rotating structure includes a rotating shaft 31. The air guide frame 1 is provided with a mounting slot 13. One end of the rotating shaft 31 is rotatably disposed within the mounting slot 13. The air guide structure 2 is connected to the rotating shaft 31. The rotating shaft 31 and the mounting slot 13 restrict the rotation axis of the air guide structure 2, thereby ensuring reliable swinging of the air guide structure 2.

[0046] The air guide assembly also includes a rotating cover plate 32. A through hole 24 is provided on the air guide structure 2. The rotating shaft 31 is provided at the through hole 24. The rotating cover plate 32 is covered at the through hole 24, and the air guide structure 2 is connected to the rotating shaft 31 through the rotating cover plate 32. The through hole 24 is shielded by the rotating cover plate 32 to improve the appearance of the air guide assembly. At the same time, it also avoids the increased difficulty of processing the air guide structure 2 by machining the rotating shaft 31 on the air guide structure 2, thereby improving production efficiency. The rotating shaft 31 is provided on the rotating cover plate 32, and when the rotating cover plate 32 is provided on the air guide structure 2, the rotating shaft 31 can extend into the mounting groove 13 through the through hole 24.

[0047] To ensure that the rotating shaft 31 does not collide or interfere with the air guide frame 1 during the swinging of the air guide structure 2, the air guide assembly further includes a shaft sleeve 33. The shaft sleeve 33 is disposed on the air guide frame 1, is located at the through hole 24, and is sleeved on the rotating shaft 31. The shaft sleeve 33 supports the rotating shaft 31, ensuring reliable rotation of the air guide structure 2.

[0048] The rotating cover plate 32 is provided with a first limiting structure, and the shaft sleeve 33 is provided with a second limiting structure. The first limiting structure cooperates with the second limiting structure to limit the swing angle of the air guide structure 2 .

[0049] Specifically, a limiting column is provided on the shaft sleeve 33, and a limiting hole is provided on the rotating cover plate 32. The limiting column is movably provided in the limiting hole. When the limiting column moves to one end of the limiting hole, the air guide structure 2 also swings to the corresponding limit position.

[0050] The air guide assembly further includes a drive mechanism 4, which is disposed within the mounting slot 13. The rotating shaft 31 is connected to the drive mechanism 4 and can rotate the rotating shaft 31. The rotating shaft 31 transmits the rotation of the drive mechanism 4 to the air guide structure 2, thereby causing the air guide structure 2 to swing.

[0051] Specifically, the driving mechanism 4 is a motor, and the motor is arranged in the installation groove 13 through a motor bracket.

[0052] There are two rotating structures, one of which is connected to the first side of the wind guide structure 2, and the other is connected to the second side of the wind guide structure 2, and the axes of the two rotating structures are collinear. The wind guide structure 2 is supported from both sides to ensure reliable rotation of the wind guide structure 2.

[0053] The center of the sphere where the air guide duct 21 is located is located on the straight line where the axis of the rotating shaft 31 is located.

[0054] As an embodiment, the swing angle range of the air guide structure is -15° to 15°, and when the swing angle is 0°, the air outlet direction of the air guide duct 21 is the same as the air outlet direction of the air supply duct 11.

[0055] An air conditioner comprises the above-mentioned air guide assembly.

[0056] The air conditioner further includes a fan, which is located in the air supply duct 11 .

[0057] The air outlet frame is provided with a fixing piece, and the air outlet frame is arranged on a preset structure through the fixing piece.

[0058] While the present invention has been described with reference to preferred embodiments, various modifications may be made and equivalent components may be substituted without departing from the scope of the present invention. In particular, the various technical features described in the various embodiments may be combined in any manner, provided no structural conflicts exist. The present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed herein, but encompasses all technical solutions within the scope of the claims.
