[0042] The disclosure below provides many different embodiments or examples for implementing different structures of the present application. For the purpose of simplicity, the description in the following text will describe the components and settings of specific examples. Of course, they are only examples, and the purpose is not to limit the present application.

Such repetition is for the purpose of simplification and clarity, and does not in itself indicate a relationship between the various embodiments and / or settings being discussed. In addition, the present application provides examples of various specific processes and materials, but those skilled in the art can realize the applicability of other processes and / or the use of other materials.

[0043] The following description refers to the accompanying drawings that show, by way of example, specific embodiments of the application. Figures 1-8 A driving component 100 for an air conditioner 1000 according to an embodiment of the present application is described.

[0044] As shown in Figure 1 The air conditioner 1000 includes an air outlet 300b and a panel 201 arranged at the air outlet 300b, the width direction of the panel is the transverse direction of the air outlet, when the air conditioner 1000 is blowing air from the air outlet 300b, the panel 201 is opened to meet the air supply requirements of the air conditioner 1000; when the air conditioner 1000 is closed, the panel 201 is closed to block the air outlet 300b. Among them, the panel 201 is connected with the driving component 100, and the driving component 100 is used to drive the panel 201 to move to adjust the position of the panel 201 in the air conditioner 1000, so as to meet the different use requirements of the air conditioner 1000.

[0045] As shown in Figure 5 The driving component 100 according to an embodiment of the present application includes a first carrier 10, a second carrier 20, a first driving mechanism 40, a second driving mechanism 50, and a sliding member 30.

[0046] Among them, the sliding member 30 is arranged on the second carrier 20, and the sliding member 30 can move synchronously with the second carrier 20 or independently relative to the second carrier 20, and the sliding member 30 is connected with the panel 201 to drive the panel 201 to move with the sliding member 30. The number of panels 201 can be one or more, when the panel 201 is multiple, the multiple panels 201 can be arranged in sequence at the air outlet 300b along the transverse direction or the vertical direction. For example: when the number of panels 201 is one, the panel 201 is matched with the size of the air outlet 300b, and can be used to block the air outlet 300b;Figure 1 When the number of panels 201 is two, the two panels 201 are arranged in sequence in the transverse direction of the air outlet 300b; when the number of panels 201 is four, the four panels 201 can be divided into two groups arranged in sequence in the vertical direction, that is, one group located on the upper side includes two panels 201 arranged in sequence in the transverse direction of the air outlet 300b, and one group located on the lower side includes two panels 201 arranged in sequence in the transverse direction of the air outlet 300b, and the two groups of panels 201 are arranged in sequence in the vertical direction of the air outlet 300b. For simplicity of description, the following will only take the case of two panels 201 as an example to fully reflect the driving cooperation relationship between the driving component 100 and the panel 201 in the present application. After reading the following technical solutions, those skilled in the art can obviously understand the embodiments of other numbers of panels 201.

[0047] As shown in Figure 6 , the second carrier 20 is arranged on the first carrier 10, the sliding member 30 is arranged on the second carrier 20, and the sliding member 30 can move synchronously with the second carrier 20, and the sliding member 30 can be connected to the panel 201 respectively to drive the panel 201 to move with the sliding member 30. When the number of panels 201 is two, the number of sliding members 30 is two, and the two sliding members 30 are connected to the two panels 201 respectively.

[0048] In combination with Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the two sliding members 30 are connected to the two panels 201 respectively. When the position of the sliding member 30 in the air conditioner 1000 changes, the sliding member 30 can drive the panel 201 connected thereto to move synchronously to adjust the position of the panel 201 in the air conditioner 1000. At the same time, since the two sliding members 30 are arranged on the second carrier 20, when the position of the second carrier 20 relative to the first carrier 10 changes, the two sliding members 30 move synchronously with the second carrier 20 relative to the first carrier 10.

[0049] In combination with Figure 5 and Figure 6 , the first driving mechanism 40 can drive the second carrier 20 to move relative to the first carrier 10 to adjust the distance between the panel 201 and the air outlet 300b, and the second driving mechanism 50 drives each sliding member 30 to move relative to the second carrier 20 to adjust the position of the panel 201 in the transverse direction of the air outlet 300b.

[0050] The first bearing part 10 is fixedly connected with the air conditioner body 300, the panel 201 can be used to shield the air outlet 300b of the air conditioner body 300, the first driving mechanism 40 can adjust the position of the second bearing part 20 relative to the first bearing part 10, and since the position of the first bearing part 10 relative to the air conditioner body 300 is fixed, when the position of the second bearing part 20 relative to the first bearing part 10 changes, the second bearing part 20 will move relative to the air conditioner body 300. Since the second bearing part 20 is connected with the panel 201 through the sliding part 30, adjusting the position of the second bearing part 20 through the first driving mechanism 40 can adjust the position of the panel 201 relative to the air outlet 300b, and driving the second bearing part 20 to move through the first driving mechanism 40 can adjust the distance between the panel 201 and the air outlet 300b, so as to adjust the panel 201 to a position suitable for being opened or closed through the panel 201, avoid interference between the panel 201 and the air conditioner body 300 in the opening or closing process, and improve the reliability of the panel 201 in the working process.

[0051] Further, the second driving mechanism 50 can be used to drive each sliding part 30 to move relative to the second bearing part 20, so as to adjust the position of the sliding part 30 relative to the second bearing part 20, and further adjust the position of the panel 201 relative to the air conditioner body 300 in the transverse direction of the air outlet 300b. Since the sliding part 30 is arranged on the second bearing part 20, and the sliding part 30 is connected with the panel 201, adjusting the position of the sliding part 30 on the second bearing part 20 through the second driving mechanism 50 can realize the change of the position of the panel 201 relative to the second bearing part 20. The movement direction of the sliding part 30 relative to the second bearing part 20 driven by the second driving mechanism 50 is used to adjust the position of the panel 201 in the transverse direction of the air outlet 300b.

[0052] It should be noted that the panel 201 is arranged at the air outlet 300b of the air conditioner 1000, and the panel 201 has a good guiding effect on the air blown out by the air conditioner 1000. When the panel 201 is opened (that is, the panel 201 does not completely shield the air outlet 300b), the air can be blown out from the gap between the two panels 201, and by adjusting the operation mode or the opening position of the panel 201, various air supply modes can be realized to meet the various use requirements of users.

[0053] In combination Figures 1-8 In the present application, the second bearing part 20 is driven to move relative to the first bearing part 10 through the first driving mechanism 40, the position of the second bearing part 20 relative to the first bearing part 10 is adjusted, the panel 201 is connected with the second bearing part 20, so as to adjust the distance between the panel 201 and the air outlet 300b, and the position of the sliding part 30 relative to the second bearing part 20 is driven through the second driving mechanism 50, so as to adjust the position of the panel 201 in the transverse direction of the air outlet 300b. Wherein, referring toFigure 1 and Figure 6 It can be seen that, under the driving action of the first driving mechanism 40, the panel 201 can be pushed vertically forward, and the two panels 201 after being pushed out can move to both sides of the air outlet 300b of the air conditioner 1000 under the action of the second driving mechanism 50, so as to open the air outlet 300b, at which time the air conditioner air can be blown out from the gap between the two panels 201.

[0054] The driving component 100 for the air conditioner 1000 according to the embodiment of the present application can adjust the position of the panel 201 relative to the air outlet 300b through the first driving mechanism 40 and the second driving mechanism 50, and the air conditioner air can be blown out from the gap between the two panels 201, and the adjustment process of the panel 201 is simple and has good reliability. At the same time, the panel 201 can be moved to guide the air conditioner air, and there is no need to set a plurality of redundant components such as a wind guide strip, which can improve the appearance of the air conditioner 1000 and increase the aesthetic degree.

[0055] Referring to Figure 5 and Figure 6 In some optional embodiments of the present application, the first driving mechanism 40 drives the second carrier 20 to reciprocate along a linear trajectory relative to the first carrier 10, so as to adjust the position of the second carrier 20 relative to the first carrier 10 in a linear direction. In combination with Figure 1 The second carrier 20 is connected with the panel 201 through the sliding piece 30, and when the first driving mechanism 40 drives the second carrier 20 to move along a linear trajectory relative to the first carrier 10, the panel 201 will also move along a linear trajectory relative to the air conditioner body 300, so as to open the air outlet 300b of the air conditioner body 300 along a linear trajectory, and adjust the distance between the panel 201 and the air outlet 300b.

[0056] Further, the above-mentioned “linear trajectory” can correspond to the front-rear direction of the air conditioner 1000, or can correspond to the opening direction of the air outlet 300b of the air conditioner 1000, so as to push the panel 201 along a linear trajectory to a side away from the air outlet 300b to open the air outlet 300b, or to retract the panel 201 along a linear trajectory to a side close to the air outlet 300b to shield the air outlet 300b. Therefore, the opening and closing of the air outlet 300b can be realized by driving the second carrier 20 to reciprocate along a linear trajectory through the first driving mechanism 40.

[0057] Referring to Figure 5 and Figure 6In some alternative embodiments of the present application, the second driving mechanism 50 drives the sliding member 30 to reciprocate along a curved trajectory relative to the second carrier 20, so that the position of the sliding member 30 relative to the second carrier 20 can be adjusted along the curved trajectory. When the second carrier 20 is adjusted to a position in which the air outlet 300b is opened, the second driving mechanism 50 drives the sliding member 30 to move along the curved trajectory relative to the second carrier 20, at this time, the panel 201 will also move along the curved trajectory relative to the air conditioner body 300, so that the gap between the two panels 201 can be adjusted, and then the air volume of the air conditioner 1000 can be adjusted. It can be understood that the larger the gap between the two panels 201, the smaller the area of the air outlet 300b that is blocked, and the air volume of the air conditioner 1000 can be increased; the smaller the gap between the two panels 201, the larger the area of the air outlet 300b that is blocked, and the air volume of the air conditioner 1000 can be reduced.

[0058] Further, with reference to Figure 6 The above-mentioned "curved trajectory" can be an arc shape. When the sliding member 30 moves along the arc-shaped curve relative to the second carrier, the panel 201 will also move synchronously, that is, the panel 201 will also move along the arc-shaped curve relative to the air conditioner body 300. The way of opening the panel 201 along the curved trajectory can save the space occupied by the opened panel 201 on both sides of the air outlet 300b, and improve the aesthetic appearance of the air conditioner 1000 during use. It can be understood that the panel 201 is connected to the sliding member 30 and moves synchronously. When the second driving mechanism 50 drives the sliding member 30 to reciprocate along the curved trajectory relative to the second carrier 20, the panel 201 will also reciprocate relative to the air conditioner body 300 at the position of the air outlet 300b. Since the panel 201 in the present application has a guiding effect on the air of the air conditioner, different air supply modes of the air conditioner 1000 can be achieved by adjusting the movement mode of the panel 201. At the same time, since the panel 201 can move along the curved trajectory, the opening angle of the panel 201 relative to the air outlet 300b will also gradually change with the movement trajectory of the panel 201. By adjusting the opening angle of the panel 201, the air supply angle of the air conditioner 1000 can be adjusted.

[0059] In some optional embodiments of the present application, the first driving mechanism 40 drives the second carrier 20 to reciprocate along a linear trajectory relative to the first carrier 10, and the second driving mechanism 50 drives the sliding piece 30 to reciprocate along a curved trajectory relative to the second carrier 20. In combination with the above-mentioned driving mode of separately driving the first driving mechanism 40 or the second driving mechanism 50, the second carrier 20 is driven by the first driving mechanism 40 to move along a linear trajectory so that the panel 201 is spaced apart from the air outlet 300b, thereby preparing for opening the air outlet 300b for adjusting the position of the panel 201. At this time, the sliding piece 30 is driven by the second driving mechanism 50 to move along a curved trajectory, so as to adjust the position of the panel 201 in the transverse direction of the air outlet 300b, so that the air conditioner air can flow out from the gap between the two panels 201, and the air supply function of the air conditioner 1000 can be realized.

[0060] As shown in Figure 5 and Figure 6 In some embodiments of the present application, at least one of the first driving mechanism 40 and the second driving mechanism 50 comprises a gear and rack mechanism. The gear and rack mechanism has high reliability and good driving force transmission stability, which can ensure the stability of the movement of the components.

[0061] Further, when the first driving mechanism 40 comprises a gear and rack mechanism, the position of the second carrier 20 relative to the first carrier 10 can be better adjusted through the cooperation of the gear and the rack; when the second driving mechanism 50 comprises a gear and rack mechanism, the position of the sliding piece 30 relative to the second carrier 20 can be more accurately adjusted through the cooperation of the gear and the rack, so as to improve the accuracy of the opening angle of the panel 201. Among them, the second driving mechanism 50 adjusts the opening angle of the panel 201 by adjusting the position of the sliding piece 30 relative to the second carrier 20, and since the second driving mechanism 50 comprises a gear and a rack, the opening angle of the panel 201 can be more accurately adjusted through the cooperation of the gear and the rack.

[0062] As shown in Figure 5 In further embodiments of the present application, the first driving mechanism 40 comprises a first motor 41, a first rack 42 and a first gear 43, the first rack 42 is arranged on the second carrier 20, the first rack 42 is a linear rack, and the width of the first rack 42 is provided with engagement teeth on both sides, the first gear 43 is arranged on the first carrier 10, the first gear 43 is two, the two first gears 43 are arranged on both sides of the width of the first rack 42 respectively to engage and drive the engagement teeth on the corresponding side, and the first motor 41 is two to drive each first gear 43 by one first motor 41 respectively.

[0063] Referring to Figure 6The first rack 42 is provided with meshing teeth on both sides of its width, and the two first gears 43 are respectively engaged with the meshing teeth on both sides of the first rack 42. The driving mode of the two first gears 43 and the first rack 42 can improve the stability of the first driving mechanism 40 in driving the second carrier 20 to move.

[0064] It can be understood that, under the action of the first driving mechanism 40, the second carrier 20 will move relative to the first carrier 10 along the extension direction of the first rack 42. Since the first rack 42 is configured as a linear rack, the second carrier 20 will move relative to the first carrier 10 along a linear direction. The linear rack is provided with meshing teeth on both sides for engaging with the two first gears 43. Through the engagement of the two first gears 43 and the first rack 42, the second carrier 20 can be prevented from shaking relative to the first carrier 10, and the stability of the second carrier 20 in moving on the first carrier 10 can be improved. During the movement of the second carrier 20 driven by the first driving mechanism 40, only one first motor 41 can be used to drive the first gear 43 to rotate, and the first gear 43 on the other side of the first rack 42 is driven. At this time, the first gear 43 can play a role in assisting the movement of the second carrier 20 to improve its stability during movement.

[0065] As shown in Figure 6 some embodiments of the present application, the second driving mechanism 50 includes a second motor 51, a second rack 52, and a second gear 53. The second rack 52 is provided on each sliding member 30. The second gear 53 is two, and the two second gears 53 are respectively driven in correspondence with the second racks 52 on the two sliding members 30. The second motor 51 is two to drive each second gear 53. In this way, the second driving mechanism 50 can drive the sliding member 30 to move relative to the second carrier 20, and the driving modes of the two sliding members 30 are relatively independent, so that the two panels 201 of the air conditioner 1000 can be controlled respectively.

[0066] As shown in Figure 6 further, each sliding member 30 is provided with a second rack 52, and each second rack 52 is engaged with a second gear 53. The second gear 53 is rotatably arranged on the second carrier 20, and the two second motors 51 are respectively used to drive the two second gears 53 to rotate. When the second motor 51 drives the gear to rotate, the second gear 53 drives the rack to move to drive the sliding member 30 to move relative to the second carrier 20, so as to adjust the position of the sliding member 30 relative to the second carrier 20. Since the sliding member 30 is connected with the panel 201, the position of the panel 201 can be adjusted.

[0067] It can be understood that, since the two sliders 30 are respectively driven by the two sets of second gears 53 and the second motors 51, the two panels 201 can be independently moved. For example, one of the two panels 201 is stationary at the initial position, and the other of the two panels 201 reciprocates under the driving of the second driving mechanism 50; one of the two panels 201 is stationary after moving to a position, and the other of the two panels 201 moves under the action of the second driving mechanism 50; or the two panels 201 synchronously and reversely move, i.e., the two panels 201 move away from each other or move close to each other. The two panels 201 are driven by the two sets of driving mechanisms, and the movement modes of the two panels 201 are not limited thereto.

[0068] It should be noted that the second driving mechanism 50 can also drive the two sliders 30 simultaneously by a single motor and a gear set, such as driving the two panels 201 to synchronously and reversely move.

[0069] In further embodiments of the present application, the second carrier 20 is provided with a matching groove for the second rack 52 to slide, the matching groove is adapted to the shape of the second rack 52, when the second gear 53 is engaged with the second rack 52, the second gear 53 rotates on the second carrier 20 and drives the second rack 52 to slide at the matching groove, so as to adjust the position of the slider 30 on the second carrier 20. When it is needed to drive the slider 30 to move along a curved trajectory, the matching groove can be designed to extend along a curve, and the length and shape of the second rack 52 can be designed according to the movement stroke of the slider 30 relative to the second carrier 20.

[0070] As shown in Figure 5 In some embodiments of the present application, the first carrier 10 and the second carrier 20 are matched by the first guide assembly 60 to limit the movement trajectory of the second carrier 20 relative to the first carrier 10. The first guide assembly 60 has a good guiding effect on the movement direction of the second carrier 20 relative to the first carrier 10, so as to guide the movement trajectory of the second carrier 20 when the first driving mechanism 40 drives the second carrier 20 to move, and ensure the stability and reliability of the second carrier 20 during movement.

[0071] In some specific embodiments of the present application, the first guide assembly 60 includes a guide rib and a guide groove, at least a part of the guide rib is embedded in the guide groove, and the movement direction of the second carrier 20 can be guided by the cooperation of the guide rib and the guide groove.

[0072] One of the guide rib and the guide groove is arranged on the first carrier 10, and the other of the guide groove and the guide rib is arranged on the second carrier 20. Referring to Figure 5The guide groove is formed on the first bearing 10, the positioning rib is arranged on the second bearing 20, and the guide groove extends along a straight line, so that the second bearing 20 can be guided on the straight line track.

[0073] In some embodiments of the present application, the first guide assembly 60 includes two sets of guide ribs and guide grooves, and the two sets of guide ribs and guide grooves are arranged on both sides of the first driving mechanism 40 and are spaced apart from the first driving mechanism 40, so that interference between the first driving mechanism 40 and the first guide assembly 60 can be avoided. At the same time, under the driving action of the first driving mechanism 40 and the guiding action of the first guide assembly 60, the second bearing 20 can move relative to the first bearing 10 along a straight line track, and the stability and reliability during movement are good.

[0074] In some embodiments of the present application, the first bearing 10 is further provided with an avoiding groove, and the avoiding groove is parallel to the guide groove, that is, the avoiding groove is parallel to the guide groove. The avoiding groove can limit the second bearing 20 to reduce the assembly difficulty. It should be noted that when two parallel guide grooves are arranged in the first guide assembly 60, the guiding requirement of the second bearing 20 during movement can be met, and the stability of the second bearing 20 during movement can be ensured. By arranging the avoiding groove, the stability of the second bearing 20 during movement can be further improved.

[0075] In combination Figure 5 and Figure 6 In some embodiments of the present application, the sliding member 30 includes a driving part 31 and a cantilever part 32. The second driving mechanism 50 drives the sliding member 30 to move through the driving part 31. One end of the cantilever part 32 is connected to the driving part 31, and the other end of the cantilever part 32 is connected to the panel 201. The second bearing 20 includes a supporting part 21, and the supporting part 21 supports the cantilever part 32.

[0076] Specifically, the second driving mechanism 50 cooperates with the sliding member 30 through the driving part 31, and moves through the driving part 31 to drive the sliding member 30 to move relative to the second bearing 20. At the same time, the sliding member 30 is connected to the panel 201 through the cantilever part 32, so that the position of the panel 201 can be adjusted by driving the sliding member 30 to move through the second driving mechanism 50.

[0077] Referring to Figure 5In a specific embodiment of the present application, when the second driving mechanism 50 comprises the second motor 51, the second rack 52 and the second gear 53, the second rack 52 is formed at the driving part 31, and the engaging teeth of the second rack 52 are arranged at the side away from the cantilever part 32 and are engaged with the second gear 53. When the second gear 53 is engaged with the second rack 52, the driving part 31 can be driven to move synchronously by driving the second rack 52 to move, thereby driving the sliding part 30 to move.

[0078] Further, the sliding part 30 can be driven to slide relative to the second driving part under the action of the second driving mechanism 50, and the supporting part 21 keeps in contact with the cantilever part 32 during the sliding process of the sliding part 30, so that the cantilever part 32 can be supported by the supporting part 21, thereby ensuring the stability and reliability of the sliding part 30 and the panel 201 during the movement.

[0079] It should be noted that the second bearing part 20 is connected with the panel 201 through the sliding part 30, the sliding part 30 is connected with the panel 201 through the cantilever part 32, and the cantilever part 32 will bear the weight of the panel 201. The supporting part 21 can increase the contact area between the cantilever part 32 and the second bearing part 20, so as to share the weight of the panel 201, thereby preventing the cantilever part 32 from being deformed or damaged due to excessive gravity of the panel 201, and playing a good protection role on the sliding part 30, and improving the stability of the panel 201 during the movement. When the supporting part 21 supports the cantilever part 32, the supporting part 21 can play a role in supporting the weight of the panel 201, and during the movement of the sliding part 30 relative to the second bearing part 20, the cantilever part 32 has a downward movement trend under the action of the gravity of the panel 201, so that the supporting part 21 can keep in contact with the cantilever part 32, and share the weight of the panel 201 through the supporting part 21.

[0080] As shown in FIG. 1, Figure 5 In some embodiments of the present application, two panels 201 are arranged at the air outlet 300b, and the sliding part 30 is two and respectively corresponds to the two panels 201. The cantilever part 32 comprises a cantilever body 321 and a cantilever end 322. One end of the cantilever body 321 is connected with the end of the driving part 31 close to the other sliding part 30, and the cantilever end 322 is arranged at the other end of the cantilever body 321. In addition, the width of the cantilever end 322 is greater than the width of the cantilever body 321.

[0081] Specifically, the cantilever part 32 is fixedly connected with the panel 201 through the cantilever end 322, the cantilever body 321 is connected between the cantilever end 322 and the driving part 31, the cantilever body 321 is in abutment with the supporting part 21, and the supporting part 21 is arranged below the cantilever body 321 to share the weight of the panel 201, thereby improving the reliability of the cantilever body 321 and preventing the cantilever body 321 from being damaged due to uneven stress.

[0082] The width of the cantilever end portion 322 is greater than the width of the cantilever body 321, so that the connection reliability of the cantilever portion 32 and the panel 201 can be ensured. It can be understood that the cantilever body 321 is used to transmit driving force, and the cantilever end portion 322 is used to be connected with the panel 201 to drive the panel 201 to move. The width of the cantilever end portion 322 is set to be greater than the width of the cantilever body 321, so that the strength of the connection between the cantilever end portion 322 and the cantilever body 321 and the structural strength of the cantilever end portion 322 itself can be effectively improved, thereby ensuring the connection reliability of the cantilever portion 32 and the panel 201.

[0083] As shown in FIG. 1, in some embodiments of the present application, the second carrier 20 includes a first sub-piece 22 and a second sub-piece 23, and the driving portion 31 is arranged between the first sub-piece 22 and the second sub-piece 23. The driving portion 31 cooperates with at least one of the first sub-piece 22 and the second sub-piece 23 through a second guide assembly 70 to limit the movement trajectory of the sliding piece 30 relative to the second carrier 20. Figure 5

[0084] The second guide assembly 70 has a good guiding effect on the movement of the sliding piece 30, so as to limit the movement trajectory of the sliding piece 30. Since the sliding piece 30 moves relative to the second carrier 20 under the action of the second driving mechanism 50, when the second driving mechanism 50 outputs driving force through the gear and rack cooperation, the second guide assembly 70 is configured as a guide groove structure matched with the shape of the rack. At least a part of the driving portion 31 is embedded in the guide groove structure and slides in the guide groove structure under the action of the driving force of the second driving mechanism 50, so as to guide the movement direction of the sliding piece 30.

[0085] In a specific embodiment of the present application, the guide groove structure is configured as an arc-shaped groove, the arc-shaped groove is arranged on the second sub-piece 23, the shape of the arc-shaped groove is matched with the shape of the two second racks 52, and the two sliding pieces 30 can move in the extension direction of the arc-shaped groove. Alternatively, the arc-shaped groove can also be divided into two spaced arc-shaped sub-grooves, and the two arc-shaped sub-grooves are matched with the two sliding pieces 30, respectively.

[0086] ​In some embodiments of the present application, the first sub-piece 22 and the second sub-piece 23 are arranged along the vertical direction, the second sub-piece 23 is arranged below the first sub-piece 22, and the support portion 21 is arranged on the second sub-piece 23, so that the cantilever portion 32 can be well supported by the second sub-piece 23. The sliding piece 30 is arranged between the first sub-piece 22 and the second sub-piece 23, and the first sub-piece 22 and the second sub-piece 23 can limit the sliding piece 30 to prevent the sliding piece 30 from overturning, thereby improving the cooperation reliability of the sliding piece 30 and the second carrier 20. It can be understood that the sliding piece 30 is connected to the panel 201 through the cantilever portion 32, and is subjected to the gravity of the panel 201, so that the end of the sliding piece 30 away from the panel 201 has a tendency to tilt upward. Under the cooperation of the first sub-piece 22 and the second sub-piece 23, the sliding piece 30 can be limited between the first sub-piece 22 and the second sub-piece 23, thereby ensuring the connection reliability of the sliding piece 30 and the second carrier 20.

[0087] In combination with Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 , in some embodiments of the present application, the second gear 53 is rotatably fixed on the second sub-piece 23, the second motor 51 is arranged on the first sub-piece 22 and located on the surface of the first sub-piece 22 away from the second gear 53, and the driving shaft of the second motor 51 penetrates through the second sub-piece 23 and is used to drive the second gear 53 to rotate. Arranging the second motor 51 above the first sub-piece 22 can save the space reserved between the first sub-piece 22 and the second sub-piece 23, ensure the limiting effect of the first sub-piece 22 and the second sub-piece 23 on the sliding piece 30 in the vertical direction, and avoid interference between the second motor 51 and other components in the driving part 100. It can be understood that the upper side of the first sub-piece 22 is also the side of the second carrier 20 away from the first carrier 10, and arranging the second motor 51 above the first sub-piece 22 can prevent interference between the second motor 51 and the first carrier 10.

[0088] In some embodiments of the present application, the support portion 21 is arranged on the second sub-piece 23, the support portion 21 comprises a plurality of reinforcing ribs 211, the plurality of reinforcing ribs 211 are arranged staggered on the support portion 21, and the upper surface of the reinforcing rib 211 abuts against the cantilever portion 32 to support the cantilever portion 32. As shown in Figure 5 , the reinforcing ribs 211 are arranged staggered on the support portion 21 to improve the structural strength of the support portion 21, and the reinforcing ribs 211 can also well support the cantilever portion 32, thereby ensuring the cooperation area of the support portion 21 and the cantilever portion 32 and the support effect of the support portion 21 on the cantilever portion 32.

[0089] As shown in Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, the second carrier 20 is arranged on one side of the first carrier 10 in the thickness direction of the first carrier 10, and the first carrier 10 is provided with a side support seat 11. In the transverse direction of the air outlet 300b, the two side portions of the second carrier 20 are respectively matched with the side support seat 11, and the side support seat 11 limits the movement of the second carrier 20 relative to the first carrier 10 in the thickness direction of the first carrier 10 and / or limits the movement of the second carrier 20 relative to the first carrier 10 in the transverse direction of the air outlet 300b.

[0090] It can be understood that the side support seat 11 can be used only to limit the movement of the second carrier 20 relative to the first carrier 10 in the thickness direction of the first carrier 10; can be used only to limit the movement of the second carrier 20 relative to the first carrier 10 in the transverse direction of the air outlet 300b; and can be used to limit the movement of the second carrier 20 relative to the first carrier 10 in both the thickness direction of the first carrier 10 and the transverse direction of the air outlet 300b.

[0091] Among them, two side support seats 11 are arranged on both sides of the first carrier 10, and the two side support seats 11 can limit the movement of the second carrier 20 in the transverse direction of the air outlet 300b, prevent the movement of the second carrier 20 relative to the first carrier 10 in the transverse direction during movement, and improve the stability of the second carrier 20 during movement.

[0092] In further embodiments of the present application, the side support seat 11 includes a second rolling member 111 arranged on the side of the second carrier 20, and the second rolling member 111 is rolling matched with the second carrier 20. It can be understood that when the second carrier 20 moves relative to the first carrier 10, the side surface of the second carrier 20 can abut and rolling match with the outer peripheral surface of the second rolling member 111, that is, the second rolling member 111 rolls under the action of the second carrier 20. The second rolling member 111 has a limiting and guiding effect on the second carrier 20, which can improve the stability of the second carrier 20 during movement and prevent the second carrier 20 from moving in the transverse direction relative to the first carrier 10.

[0093] Optionally, the second rolling member 111 is configured as a rubber roller, which has a certain absorption effect on vibration, and can further improve the stability of the second carrier 20 during movement.

[0094] In some embodiments of the present application, the side support seat 11 is provided with a limiting flange 112, the limiting flange 112 protrudes from the side support seat 11 to one side of the second carrier 20, and the limiting flange 112 is adapted to abut against one side surface of the second carrier 20 in the thickness direction to limit the movement of the second carrier 20 in the thickness direction relative to the first carrier 10.

[0095] Specifically, the side support seat 11 is arranged on the surface of the first carrier 10 towards the second carrier 20, the lower surface of the limiting flange 112 abuts against the upper surface of the second sub-piece 23 of the second carrier 20, and through the cooperation of the first carrier 10 and the limiting flange 112, the second sub-piece 23 can be limited in the thickness direction, thereby improving the stability of the second carrier 20 relative to the first carrier 10 during movement.

[0096] As shown in Figure 4 and Figure 6 In some embodiments of the present application, the second carrier 20 is arranged above the first carrier 10, the front end of the sliding piece 30 is used to be connected with the panel 201, the rear part of the second carrier 20 is provided with a stop portion 24, and the rear part of the first carrier 10 is provided with a rear support seat 12, which cooperates with the stop portion 24 to at least limit the upward movement of the stop portion 24 relative to the first carrier 10.

[0097] It can be understood that during the movement of the second carrier 20 relative to the first carrier 10, the rear support seat 12 cooperates with the stop portion 24, and through the cooperation of the rear support seat 12 and the stop portion 24, the second carrier 20 can be limited in the vertical direction, thereby preventing the second carrier 20 from moving in the vertical direction relative to the first carrier 10 and improving the stability of the second carrier 20 during movement.

[0098] In further embodiments of the present application, the rear support seat 12 includes a first rolling piece 13 arranged above the stop portion 24, and the first rolling piece 13 cooperates with the stop portion 24 in rolling. During the movement of the second carrier 20 relative to the first carrier 10, the upper surface of the stop portion 24 abuts against and cooperates with the first rolling piece 13 in rolling, and the first rolling piece 13 rolls under the action of the second carrier 20. The first rolling piece 13 has a limiting and guiding effect on the second carrier 20, which can improve the stability of the second carrier 20 during movement and prevent the second carrier 20 from moving in the vertical direction relative to the first carrier 10.

[0099] Optionally, the first rolling piece 13 is configured as a rubber roller, which has a certain absorption effect on vibration, which can further improve the stability of the second carrier 20 during movement.

[0100] In some specific embodiments of the present application, the stopper 24 is arranged at one end of the second carrier 20 away from the panel 201, and correspondingly, the rear support seat 12 is arranged at one end of the first carrier 10 away from the panel 201 and cooperates with the stopper 24. The stopper 24 extends in a straight line direction, which is also the movement direction of the second carrier 20 relative to the first carrier 10. The rear support seat 12 is formed with a through slot, the stopper 24 is arranged in the through slot, and the stopper 24 is at least partially located in the through slot. The first rolling member 13 is rotatably arranged at the through slot and is adapted to abut against the upper surface of the stopper 24. When the second carrier 20 moves relative to the first carrier 10, the stopper 24 slides in the through slot, and the first rolling member 13 remains in the state of abutting and rolling with the stopper 24 to limit the stopper 24. The cooperation of the rear support seat 12 and the stopper 24 can effectively prevent the sliding member 30 and the second carrier 20 from overturning due to the excessive weight of the panel 201, and improve the stability and reliability of the driving member 100 driving the panel 201 to move.

[0101] In some embodiments of the present application, the rear support seat 12 is detachably mounted on the first carrier 10, so that the forming difficulty of the first carrier 10 can be reduced. The first carrier 10 is further provided with a positioning portion for positioning the rear support seat 12, so as to reduce the assembly difficulty of the rear support seat 12 and improve the assembly efficiency.

[0102] According to the air conditioner 1000 of the embodiment of the present application, the air conditioner 1000 comprises: an air conditioner body 300, a panel component 200 and a driving member 100. The air conditioner body 300 has an air outlet 300b. The panel component 200 comprises a panel 201 arranged at the air outlet 300b. The side surface of the panel 201 facing the air outlet 300b comprises a guide curved surface. The driving member 100 is the driving member 100 for the air conditioner 1000 described above, and is used for driving the panel component 200.

[0103] As shown in Figure 1 The air conditioner body 300 has an air outlet 300b and an air inlet 300a. The air inlet 300a is formed at one side of the air conditioner body 300, and the air outlet 300b is formed at the other side of the air conditioner body 300. The panel component 200 is arranged at the air outlet 300b to selectively shield the air outlet 300b. The panel 201 assembly has a good guiding effect on the air conditioner air flowing out of the air outlet 300b to guide the air conditioner air.

[0104] When the number of panels 201 is two, the driving component 100 is used to drive the two panels 201 to move relative to the air conditioner body 300. Specifically, the first driving mechanism 40 is used to drive the two panels 201 to open or close the air outlet 300b, and when the first driving mechanism 40 adjusts the panel component 200 to a position of opening the air outlet 300b, the second driving mechanism 50 can synchronously or independently drive the two panels 201 to move, so as to adjust the position or movement state of the two panels 201 relative to the air conditioner body 300, and guide the air conditioner air through the two panels 201, so as to meet the use demand of the user on the air conditioner.

[0105] As shown in Figure 3 The panel 201 is provided with a wind guide part 201a, which is arranged on the surface of the panel 201 facing the air outlet 300b, and is used to guide the air conditioner air flowing out of the air outlet 300b, so as to facilitate the air conditioner air to be delivered to a preset position.

[0106] The wind guide part 201a protrudes from the panel 201 to the air inlet 300a side and is formed with an arc surface for guiding the air conditioner air. In some specific embodiments of the present application, the two panels 201 are both provided with the wind guide part 201a, and the wind guide part 201a is arranged on the side of the panel 201 close to the other panel 201, that is, the two wind guide parts 201a are arranged adjacent to each other. It should be noted that the structure of the wind guide part 201a is not limited thereto, and its function is to guide the air conditioner air to meet the use demand of the user, and the specific structure of the wind guide part 201a can be designed according to the air supply demand of the air conditioner 1000.

[0107] In some embodiments of the present application, the air outlet 300b is arranged on the front side of the air conditioner body 300 and extends vertically, the air outlet 300b has a left-right direction in the transverse direction, and the two panels 201 both extend vertically and are arranged in the left-right direction, the first driving mechanism 40 is used to drive the panel 201 to move forward and backward to adjust the opening degree of the air outlet 300b, and the second driving mechanism 50 is used to drive the panel 201 to move left and right to adjust the air outlet direction of the air outlet 300b. For example, the air conditioner 1000 can be a cabinet machine or a vertical hanging machine, but is not limited thereto, and the air conditioner 1000 can also be a horizontal hanging machine, the air outlet 300b extends in the horizontal direction, and correspondingly, the panel 201 also extends in the transverse direction (i.e. the horizontal direction), so that the panel 201 is adapted to the air outlet 300b of the horizontal hanging machine.

[0108] In some embodiments of the present application, the air conditioner 1000 comprises at least two driving components 100, the two driving components 100 are arranged in the extension direction of the air outlet 300b and are spaced apart, and the two driving components 100 are both connected with the panel component 200 and are used to drive the panel component 200 to move relative to the air conditioner body 300.

[0109] It can be understood that the panel 201 is driven to move by the driving component 100 in the present application, and the weight of the panel component 200 is shared by the sliding piece 30, the second bearing piece 20 and the first bearing piece 10. By arranging a plurality of driving components 100, the connection reliability of the driving component 100 and the panel 201 can be ensured, and the stability of driving the panel 201 to move can be ensured.

[0110] In some embodiments of the present application, the panel 201 covers the air outlet 300b of the air conditioner 1000 and covers the entire front body of the air conditioner 1000. The panel 201 can have high aesthetic effects such as acrylic, which can hide the body of the air conditioner 1000 and significantly improve the appearance of the air conditioner 1000. The air conditioner wind is guided by the air guiding part 201a inside the panel 201, without the need to set a wind guide plate structure, which can further improve the appearance of the air conditioner 1000 and improve the user's experience.

[0111] Referring to Figures 1 to 8 The opening and closing process of the air conditioner according to the embodiments of the present application is described as follows:

[0112] When the air conditioner 1000 is turned on, the first driving mechanism 40 drives the second bearing piece 20 to slide relative to the first bearing piece 10. During the movement of the second bearing piece 20 relative to the first bearing piece 10, the side support seat 11 on both sides of the first bearing piece 10 limits the second bearing piece 20 in the width direction of the air outlet 300b to prevent the second bearing piece 20 from shaking in the width direction of the air outlet 300b and improve the stability of the second bearing piece 20 during movement. The rear support seat 12 at the rear of the first bearing piece 10 (away from the side of the air outlet 300b) limits the second bearing piece 20 in the vertical direction to prevent the second bearing piece 20 from being tilted in the vertical direction due to the gravity of the panel and further improve the stability of the second bearing piece 20 during movement. At this time, the air outlet 300b can be opened by adjusting the position of the second bearing piece 20 relative to the first bearing piece 10.

[0113] Further, the sliding piece 30 is driven by the second driving mechanism 50 to move relative to the second bearing piece 20 to adjust the position of the panel 201, and air conditioner air can be blown out from the gap between the two panels 201 or the gap between the panel and the air outlet 300b. Among them, the movement mode of the panel 201 relative to the air conditioner body 300 can be set according to the user's air supply demand of the air conditioner 1000. For example: the position of one of the two panels 201 is fixed, and the other panel 201 continuously swings in the width direction of the air outlet 300b; the two panels 201 are fixed after being opened by a certain angle under the action of the second driving mechanism 50, and air conditioner air can be blown out from the gap defined between the two panels 201, etc. During the adjustment of the position of the panel 201, the first driving mechanism 40 no longer applies driving force to the second bearing piece 20, that is, the position of the second bearing piece 20 relative to the air conditioner body 300 is fixed. At this time, by adjusting the position of the sliding piece 30 relative to the second bearing piece 20, different air supply modes of the air conditioner 1000 can be realized.
