[0035] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is actually only illustrative and is in no way intended to limit the present invention and its application or use. All other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field based on the embodiments of the present invention without making any creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0036] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides an air duct component, which includes a bracket 10 and a plurality of guide components 20. The plurality of guide components 20 are arranged on the bracket 10 at intervals. The guide component 20 includes a guide ring 21. The guide ring 21 is axially movable relative to the bracket 10. The guide ring 21 is used to guide the wind blown out by the fan blades 40.

[0037] The present invention achieves effective regulation of the air supply distance and air supply range of the wind blown out by the fan blades 40 by adjusting the position of the guide ring 21 relative to the bracket 10, so that the air supply is far when the guide ring 21 is away from the fan blades 40, and the air supply is wide when the guide ring 21 is close to the fan blades 40; through the coordinated work of multiple guide components 20, the air supply distance and air supply range are combined to adjust the phenomenon of poor temperature uniformity; the overall structure of the present invention is simple, easy to assemble, and low cost, providing structural support for subsequent air conditioners to realize the function of intelligent air supply adjustment.

[0038] Now the working principle of the air duct component proposed in the present invention is explained: usually due to the blade shape of the fan in the air conditioner, the wind blown out by the fan blade 40 generally tends to spread to the surroundings, so the guide ring 21 is needed to guide the wind. When the position of the guide ring 21 is relatively backward relative to the bracket 10 (and relative to the fan blade 40), the wind passing through the guide ring 21 will be pressed to the surroundings, and the blown wind is relatively "scattered", so the air supply distance is relatively short; when the position of the guide ring 21 is relatively forward relative to the bracket 10 (and relative to the fan blade 40), the blown wind is relatively "concentrated", so the air supply distance is relatively long.

[0039] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, at least one of the multiple guide assemblies 20 further includes: a protrusion 22, which is arranged on the bracket 10 along the axial direction of the guide ring 21; a guide member 23, which is arranged on the guide ring 21 and guides and cooperates with the protrusion 22; and a first elastic member 24, which is arranged between the guide ring 21 and the bracket 10 or between the guide member 23 and the bracket 10 to apply an elastic force in the axial direction to the guide ring 21. This arrangement not only ensures that the overall structure of the guide assembly 20 is simple and easy to assemble, but also ensures that the guide ring 21 can automatically adjust its position relative to the bracket 10 under the influence of force (for example, the force exerted on the guide ring 21 toward the bracket 10 by the fan blades 40 when blowing air, or the force exerted on the guide ring 21 toward the bracket 10 by other structures), and that the guide ring 21 can automatically return to its original position under the elastic force of the first elastic member 24.

[0040] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, the first elastic member 24 is a spring; during the operation of the flow guide assembly 20 , the working noise of the flow guide assembly 20 is relatively low due to the shock absorbing effect of the spring.

[0041] It is worth noting that there can be multiple protrusions 22 and guide members 23, and multiple protrusions 22 are arranged on the bracket 10 at intervals along the axial direction of the guide ring 21; multiple guide members 23 are arranged on the guide ring 21 at intervals and correspond one-to-one to the protrusions 22; the number and specific positions of the protrusions 22 and the guide members 23 can be flexibly set according to actual usage requirements.

[0042] As Figure 4 shown, in one specific embodiment of the present application, the protruding pieces 22 and the guide pieces 23 are four, the protruding pieces 22 are thin rod structures fixed on the support 10 at intervals; the guide pieces 23 are protruding structures fixed on the flow guide ring 21 at intervals, and the cooperation of the through holes on the guide pieces 23 and the thin rod structures ensures that the position of the flow guide ring 21 relative to the support 10 in the axial direction can be flexibly adjusted; the support 10 is a thin plate structure, and the support 10 is provided with a ventilation hole for ventilation.

[0043] It should be noted that, as Figure 1 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 shown, the support 10 is an integral structure, simultaneously bearing the upper flow guide assembly 50 and the lower flow guide assembly 60, and in actual use, the support 10 can also be a split structure, corresponding to the number of flow guide assemblies 20, one support 10 bearing one flow guide assembly 20, which ensures that the support 10 can be flexibly set according to actual use requirements.

[0044] The flow guide assembly 20 further comprises a wind blocking structure 25, which is arranged on the inner wall of the flow guide ring 21, and is used to block the wind blown by the fan blade 40. The wind force borne by the wind blocking structure 25 drives the flow guide ring 21 to move axially relative to the support 10. By arranging the wind blocking structure 25, the effective force of the flow guide ring 21 is ensured, so that the flow guide ring 21 can move axially relative to the support 10 according to the size of the wind force to overcome the elastic force of the first elastic member 24, thereby realizing the self-adaptive adjustment of the flow guide ring 21 according to the wind force.

[0045] As Figure 1 and Figure 5 shown, the wind blocking structure 25 is multiple, and the multiple wind blocking structures 25 are arranged at intervals on the inner wall of the flow guide ring 21; the number and specific installation position of the wind blocking structure 25 can be flexibly set according to actual use requirements. In order to ensure better wind blocking effect and reduce the wind dryness generated when blocking the wind, the shape of the wind blocking structure 25 is set to be streamline-shaped, i.e. the contact surface of the wind blocking structure 25 with the wind is designed to be arc-shaped.

[0046] As Figure 1 and Figure 4 shown, the flow guide assembly 20 further comprises a stop piece 26, which is arranged at the end of the protruding piece 22 away from the support 10; the guide piece 23 is sleeved on the protruding piece 22 and located between the stop piece 26 and the support 10; the stop piece 26 is in stop cooperation with the guide piece 23; the first elastic member 24 is sleeved on the protruding piece 22, one end of the first elastic member 24 abuts against the support 10, and the other end of the first elastic member 24 abuts against the guide piece 23. In this way, the movement range of the flow guide ring 21 relative to the support 10 is limited.

[0047] Optionally, the flow guide assembly 20 further comprises a second elastic member, the second elastic member is sleeved on the protruding member 22, one end of the second elastic member abuts against the stopper 26, and the other end of the second elastic member abuts against the guide member 23. By arranging the second elastic member, the relative movement of the flow guide ring 21 relative to the support 10 is further buffered, a better damping effect is achieved, and the noise of the flow guide ring 21 during operation is reduced.

[0048] Optionally, in another embodiment not shown, at least one of the plurality of flow guide assemblies 20 further comprises an electromagnetic assembly, one end of the electromagnetic assembly is connected with the support 10, and the other end of the electromagnetic assembly is connected with the flow guide ring 21, and the electromagnetic assembly is used to adjust the distance of the flow guide ring 21 relative to the support 10. By arranging the electromagnetic assembly, active control of the position of the flow guide ring 21 relative to the support 10 is achieved. In actual use, the stress of the flow guide ring 21 can be adjusted by the electromagnetic assembly according to actual use requirements, the position of the flow guide ring 21 relative to the support 10 is actively controlled, and structural support is provided for subsequent air conditioners to realize the function of intelligently adjusting air supply.

[0049] It should be noted that when the electromagnetic assembly is used to control the position of the flow guide ring 21 relative to the support 10, the wind blocking structure 25 on the flow guide ring 21 can be omitted, that is, the wind blocking structure 25 is not needed at this time, and the structure of the flow guide assembly 20 is further simplified.

[0050] In one specific embodiment of the present application, the electromagnetic assembly comprises an electromagnet and a moving iron core; the electromagnet is arranged on the support 10, and the moving iron core is arranged on the flow guide ring 21; the electromagnetic assembly applies different sizes of magnetic force to the moving iron core in the axial direction through the electromagnet, adjusts the distance of the flow guide ring 21 relative to the support 10, and when the magnetic force and the elastic force of the first elastic member 24 applied to the flow guide ring 21 in the axial direction are balanced, the flow guide ring 21 is stationary relative to the support 10, that is, the position of the flow guide ring 21 is fixed.

[0051] Optionally, in another embodiment not shown, at least one of the plurality of flow guide assemblies 20 further comprises a driving part; the outer circumferential surface of the flow guide ring 21 is provided with an external thread, and the support 10 has an internal thread; the driving part is used to drive the flow guide ring 21 to rotate, and the flow guide ring 21 moves axially through the screw thread cooperation of the internal thread and the external thread. By arranging the driving part and the screw thread cooperation of the internal thread and the external thread, active control of the position of the flow guide ring 21 relative to the support 10 is achieved.

[0052] It should be noted that when the driving part is used to control the position of the flow guide ring 21 relative to the support 10, the wind blocking structure 25 on the flow guide ring 21 can be omitted, that is, the wind blocking structure 25 is not used.

[0053] As Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 8As shown, the plurality of flow guide assemblies 20 includes an upper flow guide assembly 50 and a lower flow guide assembly 60, the upper flow guide assembly 50 is located above the lower flow guide assembly 60. In this way, the air duct component can adjust the positions of the upper flow guide assembly 50 and the lower flow guide assembly 60 according to the different properties of the cold and hot air, ensuring the uniformity of temperature adjustment.

[0054] It should be noted that the upper flow guide assembly 50 and the lower flow guide assembly 60 in the present application are concepts proposed for the installation position to have an upper and lower distinction, and the flow guide assembly structures contained in the upper flow guide assembly 50 and the lower flow guide assembly 60 can be the same or different (i.e., respectively using the different flow guide assembly structures described above); The number of upper flow guide assemblies 50 and lower flow guide assemblies 60 can also be flexibly adjusted according to actual use requirements.

[0055] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 3 In one specific embodiment of the present application, the air duct component adopts the design of one upper flow guide assembly 50 and one lower flow guide assembly 60, which can achieve good refrigeration or heating effect.

[0056] As shown in Figure 8 The present application also proposes an air conditioner, which includes the air duct component, the shell assembly 30 and a plurality of fan blades 40, the shell assembly 30 has an air inlet and an air outlet, and the air duct component is arranged between the air inlet and the air outlet; The plurality of fan blades 40 and the plurality of flow guide assemblies 20 are arranged one-to-one, and at least a part of the fan blades 40 is located in the flow guide ring 21 of the corresponding flow guide assembly 20. The air conditioner arranged in this way can adaptively adjust the position of the flow guide ring 21 through the wind speed, effectively adjust the air supply distance and range, that is, achieve the effect of strong air supply when the wind speed is high and wide air supply when the wind speed is low, and bring better use experience to the user.

[0057] It is worth noting that the present application unifies other structures necessary for constituting an air conditioner as the shell assembly 30, and in actual use, the shell assembly 30 mainly includes: a decorative plate component, an air outlet frame component, an evaporator component, and a shell and the like structures, wherein the air duct component is located behind the air outlet frame component, the evaporator component is installed at the rear side of the air duct component, the air first passes through the air inlet grille, then exchanges heat through the evaporator component, and finally blows out from the air outlet through the flow guide ring 21, realizing the functions of refrigeration and heating; As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 8 The motor and the fan blade 40 are assembled to the motor bracket, the motor bracket is fixedly assembled to the shell, and the motor, the fan blade 40 and the motor bracket are independently arranged with the flow guide ring 21, so that when the flow guide ring 21 moves relative to the bracket 10, the position of the fan blade 40 remains unchanged.

[0058] The fan blade 40 is an axial fan blade 40, the central axis of the axial fan blade 40 is collinear with the central axis of the corresponding guide ring 21, and the support 10 is fixed in the shell assembly 30. The axial fan blade 40 commonly used in the air conditioner field (i.e. using the common device in the field) is adopted, which not only ensures the working reliability of the fan blade 40, but also facilitates the subsequent maintenance and replacement of the fan blade 40, and facilitates the subsequent procurement of the air conditioner in large-scale manufacturing.

[0059] In one specific embodiment of the present application, the present application adopts two axial fan blades 40 to work with two motors respectively, the overall structure is simple, and the cost is low.

[0060] The present application also proposes an air conditioner control method, which is used for the above-mentioned air conditioner, the guide assembly 20 in the air conditioner includes an upper guide assembly 50 and a lower guide assembly 60, the upper guide assembly 50 is located above the lower guide assembly 60, the air conditioner control method includes a heating mode and a cooling mode; in the heating mode, the guide ring 21 in the lower guide assembly 60 is controlled to be close to the support 10 relative to the guide ring 21 in the upper guide assembly 50; in the cooling mode, the guide ring 21 in the upper guide assembly 50 is controlled to be close to the support 10 relative to the guide ring 21 in the lower guide assembly 60.

[0061] The air conditioner control method proposed in the present application can realize intelligent adjustment of air supply according to the air supply speed, temperature and customer demand of the air conditioner, realize uniform temperature distribution of the external space in the heating mode and the cooling mode, avoid the phenomenon that the cold air is concentrated in the lower space or the hot air is concentrated in the upper space of the air conditioner during long-time work, and further cause the problem of poor temperature uniformity.

[0062] It should be noted that the present application can also combine the adjusting air duct component and the rotating speed of the fan blade 40 to further realize intelligent control of the air volume and the air speed, to improve the temperature uniformity in the room, and can realize different cooling and heating effects by sensing the temperature of the upper part and the lower part of the room, respectively adjusting the rotating speed of the fan blade 40 and the air duct component.

[0063] In the heating mode, the rotation speed of the fan blade 40 corresponding to the lower flow guide assembly 60 is greater than that of the fan blade 40 corresponding to the upper flow guide assembly 50, so as to push the flow guide ring 21 in the lower flow guide assembly 60 to move towards the bracket 10 by air force; in the cooling mode, the rotation speed of the fan blade 40 corresponding to the upper flow guide assembly 50 is greater than that of the fan blade 40 corresponding to the lower flow guide assembly 60, so as to push the flow guide ring 21 in the upper flow guide assembly 50 to move towards the bracket 10 by air force. In this way, in the case that the air duct component cannot be actively adjusted (i.e. without electromagnetic assembly and driving part), the air conditioner can intelligently adjust the air supply according to the air supply speed, and the phenomenon that cold air is concentrated in the lower space or hot air is concentrated in the upper space of the air conditioner during long-time operation is avoided, thereby solving the problem of poor temperature uniformity.

[0064] The air conditioner control method further comprises an intelligent mode, in which the fan blade 40 corresponding to the lower flow guide assembly 60 and the fan blade 40 corresponding to the upper flow guide assembly 50 are both controlled to be in the highest rotation speed state, and the flow guide ring 21 of the upper flow guide assembly 50 and the flow guide ring 21 of the lower flow guide assembly 60 are both controlled to move towards the bracket 10 by a set distance; under the condition that a set time is reached or a set temperature is reached, the heating mode or the cooling mode is switched to. In this way, the air conditioner can quickly cool or heat the external space.

[0065] In summary, the air duct component, the air conditioner and the air conditioner control method are provided. By adjusting the position of the flow guide ring 21 relative to the bracket 10, the air supply distance and the air supply range are effectively adjusted, the air supply is far under the condition of high wind speed and the air supply is wide under the condition of low wind speed, the air supply distance and the air supply range are combined and adjusted by the cooperation of the plurality of flow guide assemblies 20, and the phenomenon of poor temperature uniformity is avoided; the whole structure is simple, easy to assemble, and low in cost, and structural support is provided for the subsequent air conditioner to realize the function of intelligently adjusting the air supply.
