[0040] Currently, the driving mechanism of the air deflector 70 generally includes a driving member and a moving member. The driving member is connected to the moving member, and the moving member is connected to the air deflector 70. A motor is provided on the inner side wall of the air deflector 70. The driving member is used to drive the moving member to push the air deflector 70 out of the air conditioner. After the air deflector 70 extends out of the air conditioner, the motor can make the air deflector 70 rotate, so as to control the opening angle of the air deflector 70. The structure of the above-mentioned moving member is complex, and it can only make the air deflector 70 extend out of the air conditioner and cannot make the air deflector 70 rotate. The present application provides a moving member, namely a link member, which can slidably cooperate with a simple driving member to make the air deflector 70 translate out of the air conditioner and then rotate. The link member can be applied to different types of air conditioners, such as household air conditioners or commercial air conditioners. The embodiments of the present application do not specifically limit the types of air conditioners adapted by the link member.

[0041] The embodiments of the present disclosure provide a link member for the air deflector 70, as Figures 1 to 3 shown.

[0042] In some embodiments, the link member includes a first link 20, a second link 30, and a link base plate 50. The first link 20 is used to be rotatably connected to the air deflector 70 and slidably connected to the driving member of the air deflector 70; the second link 30 abuts against the first link 20, and the second link 30 is also rotatably connected to the air deflector 70; the link base plate 50 is slidably connected to the first link 20 and the second link 30, and the link base plate 50 is used to define the movement trajectories of the first link 20 and the second link 30 so that the air deflector 70 moves.

[0043] In the embodiments of the present application, the link member includes a first link 20, a second link 30, and a link base plate 50. The first link 20 is used to be rotatably connected to the air deflector 70 and slidably connected to the driving member of the air deflector 70. The second link 30 abuts against the first link 20, and the second link 30 is also rotatably connected to the air deflector 70. The link base plate 50 is slidably connected to the first link 20 and the second link 30, and the link base plate 50 can define the movement trajectories of the first link 20 and the second link 30. The embodiments of the present application provide a link member. Under the action of the driving member of the air deflector 70, the link member can make the air deflector 70 first translate out of the air conditioner and then rotate, and can make the air deflector 70 retract to the closed state again. The structure of the link member of the present application is simple, and it is not easy to fail during the movement of the air deflector 70.

[0044] Optionally, the first link 20 is provided with a first sliding portion 21, and the link base plate 50 is provided with a rail portion 51. The first sliding portion 21 is adapted to move within the rail portion 51.

[0045] As Figure 1 and Figure 3 shown, the first link 20 is in a "T" shape, having a first side surface and a second side surface disposed opposite to each other. A sunk groove 24 is provided on the first side surface, and the first sliding portion 21 is provided in the sunk groove 24. Correspondingly, the link base plate 50 is provided with a rail portion 51 that matches the first sliding portion 21, and the first sliding portion 21 can move within the rail portion 51. Optionally, a first rotating shaft 23 is provided at the end of the first link 20, and the first rotating shaft 23 is rotatably connected to the air deflector 70. In this way, the first link 20 can push the air deflector 70 to move through the connection of the first rotating shaft 23.

[0046] Optionally, a chute 22 is provided on the second side surface of the first link 20, and the chute 22 is adapted to be slidably connected to the driving member of the air deflector 70. As Figure 1 shown, the chute 22 is linear and is provided at the transverse portion of the "T"-shaped first link 20, that is, at the top end of the first link 20, and the length of the chute 22 can meet the sliding requirements of the driving member. Driven by the driving member of the air deflector 70, the first link 20 can slide along the rail portion 51 of the link base plate 50, so that the air deflector 70 can be translated and extended out of the air conditioner along the extension direction of the rail portion 51 of the link base plate 50.

[0047] Optionally, one side surface of the second link 30 abuts against the first link 20, and a second sliding portion 31 is provided on the other side surface of the second link 30. The second sliding portion 31 is adapted to move within the rail portion 51.

[0048] The second link 30 is disposed in the sunk groove 24 of the first link 20, and one side surface of the second link 30 abuts against the first link 20. A second rotating shaft 32 is provided at the end of one side surface of the second link 30, and the second rotating shaft 32 is rotatably connected to the air deflector 70. Optionally, a second sliding portion 31 is provided on the other side surface of the second link 30. The second sliding portion 31 is adapted to move within the rail portion 51. In this way, under the action of the driving member, the first link 20 can move synchronously or relatively with the second link 30, and further move the air deflector 70.

[0049] Optionally, the rail portion 51 of the link base plate 50 includes a first rail groove 511, and during the movement of the air deflector 70, part of the structures of the second sliding portion 31 and the first sliding portion 21 move within the first rail groove 511. Among them, the first rail groove 511 is provided in the middle of the link base plate 50.

[0050] Optionally, the rail portion 51 further includes a second rail groove 512 and a third rail groove 513, which are respectively disposed on both sides of the first rail groove 511 and are parallel to the first rail groove 511. In the embodiment of the present application, the second rail groove 512 and the third rail groove 513 can cooperate with the first rail groove 511 to define the translation direction of the first link 20. At the same time, they can also provide a track for the relative movement of the first link 20 and the second link 30.

[0051] Optionally, the length of the first rail groove 511 is greater than the lengths of the second rail groove 512 and the third rail groove 513 respectively. In this way, during the translation of the air deflector 70, the synchronous movement of the first link 20 and the second link 30 can be achieved.

[0052] As Figure 2 shown, the rail portion 51 includes three rails, namely, the first rail groove 511, the second rail groove 512, and the third rail groove 513. The three rails are arranged parallel to each other, and the extending directions of the first rail groove 511, the second rail groove 512, and the third rail groove 513 are the same as the direction in which the air deflector 70 translates and extends out of the air conditioner. That is, under the action of the driving member of the air deflector 70, the first link 20 and the second link 30 can move synchronously along the above three rails, so that the air deflector 70 translates and extends out of the air conditioner. The three rail grooves of the link base plate 50 are simultaneously used to define the movement trajectory of the first link 20, and the first rail groove 511 of the link base plate 50 is used to define the movement trajectory of the second link 30.

[0053] Optionally, the first sliding portion 21 of the first link 20 includes a first slider 211, a second slider 212, and a third slider 213. The first slider 211 moves in the first rail groove 511, the second slider 212 moves in the second rail groove 512, and the third slider 213 moves in the third rail groove 513.

[0054] As Figure 3 shown, a sunk groove 24 is provided on the first side surface of the first link 20. At the top in the sunk groove 24, a first sliding portion 21 matching the rail portion 51 of the link base plate 50 is provided. The first sliding portion 21 includes a first slider 211 matching the first rail groove 511, a second slider 212 matching the second rail groove 512, and a third slider 213 matching the third rail groove 513. The first slider 211, the second slider 212, and the third slider 213 are arranged side by side horizontally.

[0055] Optionally, the second sliding portion 31 of the second link 30 includes a fourth slider 311 and a fifth slider 312, and both the fourth slider 311 and the fifth slider 312 are arranged in the first rail groove 511.

[0056] The second link 30 is disposed in the sunk groove 24 of the first link 20, and one side surface of the second link 30 abuts against the first link 20. On the other side surface of the second link 30, that is, the side surface of the second link 30 adjacent to the link bottom plate 50, a second sliding portion 31 is provided, and the second sliding portion 31 matches the first track groove 511 of the link bottom plate 50. Optionally, the second sliding portion 31 includes a fourth slider 311 and a fifth slider 312, and both the fourth slider 311 and the fifth slider 312 are used to move in the first track groove 511. The arrangement positions of the fourth slider 311 and the fifth slider 312 on the second link 30 match the extending direction of the first track.

[0057] Optionally, when the air deflector 70 is closed, the first slider 211 is located at the starting end of the first track groove 511, and the first slider 211 is located above the fourth slider 311. The second slider 212 is located at the starting end of the second track groove 512, and the third slider 213 is located at the starting end of the third track groove 513.

[0058] When the air deflector 70 is closed, the arrangement positions of the first link 20 and the second link 30 are as follows: the first slider 211, the second slider 212, and the third slider 213 of the first link 20 are respectively located at the starting ends of the first track groove 511, the second track groove 512, and the third track groove 513, that is, the first sliding portion 21 is located at the starting end of the track portion 51 of the link bottom plate 50. The fourth slider 311 of the second link 30 is disposed at a position close to the starting end of the first track groove 511 and is located below the first slider 211, and the fifth slider 312 is disposed at a position close to the end of the first track groove 511. In the embodiment of the present application, the starting end of the track portion 51 is the end of the link bottom plate 50 away from the air deflector 70, and the end of the track portion 51 is the end of the link bottom plate 50 close to the air deflector 70.

[0059] Optionally, a wide-mouth section 241 is provided at the end of the sunk groove 24 of the first link 20 close to the air deflector 70. The wide-mouth section 241 is used to define the maximum opening angle of the air deflector 70. At the same time, when the air deflector 70 is opened upward or downward to the maximum angle, the wide-mouth section 241 can also avoid the second link 30 to prevent the end of the sunk groove 24 of the first link 20 from hindering the relative movement between the first link 20 and the second link 30. Optionally, a direction-changing section 514 is provided at the ends of the second track groove 512 and the third track groove 513. The direction-changing section 514 is used to provide a movement space for the second slider 212 and the third slider 213 when the first link 20 swings along the rotation center, so as to avoid interfering with the relative movement between the first link 20 and the second link 30.

[0060] The embodiment of the present application also provides a driving member that cooperates with the above-mentioned link member, as Figure 4 shown.

[0061] In some embodiments, the driving member cooperating with the above-mentioned connecting rod member may be a crank driving member, or may also be a driving member with other structures. In the embodiments of the present application, the crank driving member includes a crank 10 and a driving element. Optionally, the crank 10 has a free end and a rotating end, and a sliding column 11 is provided at the free end, and the sliding column 11 is used for sliding connection with the first connecting rod 20.

[0062] Optionally, the rotating end of the crank 10 is drivingly connected to the driving element, and the driving element can drive the crank 10 to rotate bidirectionally. Optionally, the driving element may be a stepper motor with bidirectional driving, and this stepper motor can control the rotation angle of the crank 10.

[0063] Optionally, the crank driving member further includes a crank cover plate 40, the crank cover plate 40 is disposed between the crank 10 and the driving element, and the crank cover plate 40 is fixedly connected to the connecting rod bottom plate 50. The crank cover plate 40 is used to define the rotation trajectory of the crank 10, so that the circular motion trajectory of the crank 10 is more accurate. Optionally, a first groove 41 matching the crank 10 is provided on the side of the crank cover plate 40 opposite to the connecting rod bottom plate 50. During the rotation of the crank 10, the free end of the crank 10 remains in contact with the arc-shaped edge of the first groove 41. Among them, the above-mentioned contact state does not cause a large frictional force between the free end of the crank 10 and the arc-shaped edge of the first groove 41 to prevent the crank 10 from rotating. Instead, during the rotation of the crank 10, the free end of the crank 10 just contacts the arc-shaped edge of the first groove 41, and the arc-shaped edge of the first groove 41 can ensure the circular motion trajectory of the crank 10 and prevent the rotation trajectory of the crank 10 from shifting under the drive of other acting forces. It can be understood that the shape of the first groove 41 is a circular groove with the rotation center of the crank 10 as the center of the circle.

[0064] Optionally, a connection hole 411 is provided at the center position of the first groove 41, and the connection hole 411 is used to fix the crank 10 and the driving element. Optionally, a boss 12 matching the connection hole 411 is provided at the rotating end of the crank 10, and the boss 12 is snap-fitted with the connection hole 411. In this way, the crank 10 can be installed and fixed on the inner side surface of the crank cover plate 40. Optionally, the driving element is disposed on the outer side surface of the crank cover plate 40, and the driving shaft of the driving element is drivingly connected to the crank 10 through the above-mentioned connection hole 411.

[0065] In the embodiments of the present application, the crank 10 can not only rotate under the drive of the driving element, but also the sliding column 11 at the free end of the crank 10 can slide along the chute 22 of the first connecting rod 20. In this way, through the sliding between the crank 10 and the first connecting rod 20, the first connecting rod 20 can be driven to move along the track portion 51 of the connecting rod bottom plate 50, so as to move the air deflector 70.

[0066] The embodiment of the present application further provides a motion mechanism for the air deflector 70, including the above-mentioned link member, such as Figures 5 to 7 shown.

[0067] In some embodiments, the motion mechanism for the air deflector 70 includes a link member, which can cooperate with the above-mentioned driving member to make the air deflector 70 first translate out of the air conditioner and then rotate.

[0068] Optionally, the link member includes a first link 20, a second link 30 and a link base plate 50. Optionally, the driving member can be a crank driving member, and the crank driving member includes a crank 10, a driving element and a crank cover plate 40. Among them, the link base plate 50 and the crank cover plate 40 are fixedly connected to form a housing, and the housing is fixed to the air conditioner. The crank 10 is arranged inside the housing, and a sliding column 11 is arranged at the free end of the crank 10. The first link 20 and the second link 30 are partially arranged inside the housing. A sliding groove 22 is arranged at the top end of the first link 20, and the sliding column 11 at the free end of the crank 10 can slide in the sliding groove 22. A first rotating shaft 23 is arranged at the end of the first link 20, and the first rotating shaft 23 is rotatably connected to the air deflector 70. A second rotating shaft 32 is also arranged at the end of the second link 30, and the second rotating shaft 32 is rotatably connected to the air deflector 70. The link base plate 50 is provided with a track portion 51, and the track portion 51 can define the movement trajectories of the first link 20 and the second link 30.

[0069] The movement trajectory of the air deflector 70 is divided into two steps. First, the air deflector 70 first translates out of the air conditioner to the maximum preset distance, and then the air deflector 70 rotates. Define the first direction of the rotation of the crank 10 as the clockwise direction, and the second direction of the rotation of the crank 10 as the counterclockwise direction.

[0070] In the embodiment of the present application, the driving process of the upward opening of the air deflector 70 is as follows:

[0071] The crank 10 rotates clockwise under the drive of a driving element. During the rotation of the crank 10, the sliding column 11 slides within the chute 22 of the first connecting rod 20, thereby pushing the first connecting rod 20 to move along the track portion 51 of the connecting rod base plate 50. The air deflector 70 translates and extends out of the air conditioner under the push of the first connecting rod 20. The air deflector 70 pulls the second connecting rod 30 to move along the first track groove 511 of the connecting rod base plate 50 through the connection with the second rotating shaft 32. When the fifth slider 312 of the second connecting rod 30 moves to the end of the first track groove 511, the second connecting rod 30 stops moving, and the air deflector 70 translates and extends out of the air conditioner to the maximum preset distance. During the process that the fifth slider 312 of the second connecting rod 30 moves to the end of the first track groove 511, the first connecting rod 20 and the second connecting rod 30 move synchronously. After the fifth slider 312 moves to the end of the first track groove 511, the crank 10 continues to rotate clockwise, and the first connecting rod 20 continues to move along the track portion 51 of the connecting rod base plate 50 under the push of the crank 10. When the first slider 211 of the first connecting rod 20 abuts against the fourth slider 311 of the second connecting rod 30, the crank 10 continues to rotate clockwise, causing the end of the first connecting rod 20 slidably connected to the crank 10 to swing downward along the rotation center until the third slider 213 slides to the end of the third track groove 513, and the air deflector 70 opens upward to the maximum angle. Wherein, the rotation center of the first connecting rod 20 is the first slider 211. After the air deflector 70 translates and extends out of the air conditioner to the maximum preset distance, relative movement occurs between the first connecting rod 20 and the second connecting rod 30. After the air deflector 70 opens upward to the maximum angle, the crank 10 rotates counterclockwise, pulling the first connecting rod 20 to first return the air deflector 70 to the maximum preset distance and then translate and retract it to the closed state.

[0072] Understandably, the driving process for the air deflector 70 to open downward is as follows:

[0073] The crank 10 rotates counterclockwise under the drive of a drive element. During the rotation of the crank 10, the sliding column 11 slides within the chute 22 of the first connecting rod 20, thereby pushing the first connecting rod 20 to move along the track portion 51 of the connecting rod bottom plate 50. The air deflector 70 is pushed by the first connecting rod 20 to translate and extend out of the air conditioner. The air deflector 70 pulls the second connecting rod 30 to move along the first track groove 511 of the connecting rod bottom plate 50 through its connection with the second rotating shaft 32. When the fifth slider 312 of the second connecting rod 30 moves to the end of the first track groove 511, the second connecting rod 30 stops moving, and the air deflector 70 translates and extends out of the air conditioner to the maximum preset distance. After the fifth slider 312 moves to the end of the first track groove 511, the crank 10 continues to rotate counterclockwise, causing the end of the first connecting rod 20 that is slidably connected to the crank 10 to swing downward along the rotation center until the second slider 212 slides to the end of the second track groove 512, and the air deflector 70 is opened downward to the maximum angle. Wherein, the rotation center of the first connecting rod 20 is the first slider 211. After the air deflector 70 is opened downward to the maximum angle, the crank 10 rotates clockwise, pulling the first connecting rod 20 to cause the air deflector 70 to first return to the maximum preset distance and then translate and retract to the closed state.

[0074] The embodiment of the present application further provides an air conditioner, including the above-mentioned motion mechanism for the air deflector 70, as Figure 8 shown.

[0075] In some embodiments, the air conditioner includes the above-mentioned motion mechanism for the air deflector 70. The motion mechanism for the air deflector 70 includes a connecting rod member, and may further include a driving member that cooperates with the connecting rod member. The driving member may be a crank driving member. Optionally, the connecting rod member includes a first connecting rod 20, a second connecting rod 30, and a connecting rod bottom plate 50, and the crank driving member includes a crank 10, a drive element, and a crank cover plate 40. During the movement of the air deflector 70, the connecting rod bottom plate 50 and the crank cover plate 40 are fixed to the air conditioner, and the crank 10 rotates under the drive of the drive element, driving the first connecting rod 20 and the second connecting rod 30 to move, so that the air deflector 70 first translates and extends out of the air conditioner and then rotates.
