[0034] The technical solution of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0035] like Figures 1 to 13 As shown, the air guide door structure provided in this embodiment specifically includes multiple air guide units 100 arranged in sequence and capable of rotation. Each air guide unit 100 includes a body, and the body 110 is a columnar structure.

[0036] The main body 110 includes an air inlet surface, an air outlet surface, and guide micro-holes 111 connecting the air inlet surface and the air outlet surface; the air outlet surface includes a partially curved surface with a columnar structure, and the air outlet surfaces of multiple air guiding units 100 are close to each other and form a shield for the air outlet.

[0037] Since each air guiding unit 100 comprises a columnar body 110, the body 110 comprises an air inlet face, an air outlet face and air guiding micro-holes 111 connecting the air inlet face and the air outlet face, when the air (air flow) at the air inlet face passes through the air guiding micro-holes 111 and is blown out by the air outlet face, a slight breeze is formed, improving the comfort of the user. Meanwhile, the plurality of air guiding units 100 are arranged in sequence and can rotate, the air outlet face is formed by a part of the curved surface of the columnar structure, the air outlet faces of the plurality of air guiding units 100 are close to and abutted with each other, so that the plurality of air guiding units 100 are closely arranged and can effectively shield the air outlet of the air conditioner. In actual use, the air outlet direction of the air guiding micro-holes 111 on each air guiding unit 100 can be adjusted by rotating, so that individualized control of the air outlet direction in the slight breeze state is realized, meeting the individualized requirements of the user.

[0038] The air guiding door structure can further comprise a driving mechanism, and the plurality of air guiding units 100 are respectively connected with the driving mechanism, and the driving mechanism is used to drive the plurality of air guiding units 100 to rotate.

[0039] The driving mechanism can be a driving motor, and the number of the driving motors can be multiple and correspond to the air guiding units 100 one by one, that is, each air guiding unit 100 is connected with a driving motor in correspondence, so as to realize independent control of the air guiding units 100, thereby meeting the individualized air outlet requirements of the user. It should be noted that the number of the driving motors for controlling the rotation of the plurality of air guiding units 100 is not limited to corresponding to the air guiding units 100 one by one. One driving motor can realize linkage of several air guiding units 100 through a motion mechanism, that is, one driving motor can control multiple air guiding units 100, also meeting the individualized air outlet requirements.

[0040] It should be noted that the driving motor is preferably a stepping motor.

[0041] In a plane perpendicular to the extension direction of the body 110, the plurality of air guiding units 100 are arranged in a "I" shape, a "V" shape or an arc shape, so that the plurality of air guiding units 100 can adapt to the shape of the air outlet of the air conditioner, and the number and position of the air guiding units 100 can be arranged according to the shape of the air outlet of the air conditioner.

[0042] As shown in FIG. 1, Figures 2 to 3 As shown in FIG. 1, when viewed along the extension direction of the body 110, the projection of the plurality of air guiding units 100 in the plane perpendicular to the extension direction of the body 110 can be arranged in a "I" shape. This arrangement is suitable for the case that the air outlet of the air conditioner is a plane.

[0043] Of course, the plurality of air guiding units 100 can also be arranged in a "V" shape. This arrangement is suitable for the case that the air guiding door of the air conditioner is a "V" shape.

[0044] In addition, the plurality of air guiding units 100 can also be arranged in an arc shape, such as a semicircle or other arc shape. This arrangement is suitable for the case where the air guiding door of the air conditioner is semicircular or arc-shaped.

[0045] For the convenience of description, only the above specific arrangement is listed in this embodiment. The arrangement of the plurality of air guiding units can also be "S" shaped, "Z" shaped, and the like.

[0046] As shown in FIGS. 1, 2, and 3, the plurality of air guiding units 100 are arranged in a "T" shape. The plurality of air guiding units 100 can be controlled to blow air in the same direction, such as to the left, to the left and up, or to the left and down. Figure 8 , Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown in FIGS. 1, 2, and 3, the plurality of air guiding units 100 are arranged in a "T" shape. The plurality of air guiding units 100 can be controlled to blow air in the same direction, such as to the left, to the left and up, or to the left and down.

[0047] As shown in FIGS. 1, 2, and 3, the plurality of air guiding units 100 are arranged in a "T" shape. The plurality of air guiding units 100 can be controlled to blow air in the same direction, such as to the left, to the left and up, or to the left and down. Figure 11 , Figure 12 and Figure 13 As shown in FIGS. 1, 2, and 3, the plurality of air guiding units 100 are arranged in a "T" shape. The plurality of air guiding units 100 can be controlled to blow air in the same direction, such as to the left, to the left and up, or to the left and down.

[0048] It should be noted that the plurality of air guiding units 100 are not limited to the above-described up-down arrangement, but can also be arranged horizontally or obliquely to achieve partitioned air supply in the left-right or other directions.

[0049] On the same air guiding unit 100, the extension directions of the plurality of air guiding micro-holes 111 are parallel to each other.

[0050] Specifically, in order to achieve uniformity of the air supply and the same air supply direction of the single air guiding unit 100, the extension directions of the plurality of air guiding micro-holes 111 are parallel to each other. When the air guiding unit 100 rotates, the air supply directions of the plurality of air guiding micro-holes 111 on the same air guiding unit 100 also rotate together, thereby ensuring the same air supply direction.

[0051] The cross section of the air guiding micro hole 111 is circular, elliptical or polygonal. Specifically, the cross section of the air guiding micro hole 111 can be circular, elliptical, triangular, quadrangular, pentagonal or the like in the plane perpendicular to the extending direction of the air guiding micro hole 111, so as to achieve the micro wind state. The cross sectional area of the air guiding micro hole 111 can be designed according to the size of the micro hole in the prior art.

[0052] In the embodiment, the air inlet surface includes a first groove portion 112 recessed towards the air outlet surface. The first groove portion 112 is arranged on the air inlet surface, so as to converge the air flow and make the air flow pass through the air guiding micro hole 111 more smoothly.

[0053] The air inlet surface further includes a second groove portion 113 arranged at the bottom end of the first groove portion 112, wherein the second groove portion 113 is an arc surface recessed towards the air outlet surface. The second groove portion 113 is arranged at the bottom end of the first groove portion 112 of the air inlet surface and opposite to the outwardly convex air outlet surface, so as to reduce the thickness of the body 110 and the manufacturing difficulty.

[0054] Preferably, the included angle C between the planes where the two opposite inner walls of the first groove portion 112 are located is 90-150 degrees.

[0055] In the embodiment, the two inner walls of the first groove portion 112 are respectively connected with the upper and lower ends of the arc surface of the second groove portion 113, and the first groove portion 112 is open in the direction away from the second groove portion 113. This arrangement can reduce the loss of air outlet pressure to a certain extent. Specifically, the included angle C between the planes where the two inner walls are located is 90-150 degrees, for example, 90 degrees, 120 degrees or 150 degrees. The size of the included angle determines the angle range in which the air guiding unit 100 can rotate. When the included angle is greater than 150 degrees, the interval between the adjacent two air guiding units 100 will leak air when they rotate, and the micro wind state cannot be achieved. As the included angle decreases, the range in which the air guiding unit 100 can rotate becomes larger, but the loss of air outlet pressure becomes greater. When the included angle C is less than 90 degrees, the loss of air outlet pressure is too large, and the normal micro wind state cannot be achieved. Therefore, the included angle C between the planes where the two opposite inner walls of the first groove portion 112 are located is 90-150 degrees, so as to satisfy the rotation of the air guiding unit 100 and ensure that the air flow is sufficiently converged to avoid excessive loss of air outlet pressure.

[0056] It should be noted that the planes where the two opposite inner walls of the first groove portion 112 are located pass through the central axis of the body 110, so that the air inlet can enter the second groove portion 113 more quickly through the first groove portion 112 and be discharged by the air guiding micro hole 111 in the second groove portion 113.

[0057] The air guide unit 100 further comprises a first end cover 121, a first rotating shaft 122, a second end cover 131 and a second rotating shaft 132, the first end cover 121 and the second end cover 131 are respectively arranged at two ends of the body 110, the first rotating shaft 122 is arranged at an end of the first end cover 121 away from the body 110, and the second rotating shaft 132 is arranged at an end of the second end cover 131 away from the body 110.

[0058] As shown in the drawings, in the embodiment, the left end of the body 110 is sequentially connected with the first end cover 121 and the first rotating shaft 122, and the right end of the body 110 is sequentially connected with the second end cover 131 and the second rotating shaft 132, the first rotating shaft 122 and the second rotating shaft 132 are respectively used for being rotatably connected with the air conditioner, so that the air guide unit 100 can be rotated under the driving of the driving mechanism, and individual adjustment is realized. Figure 4

[0059] An installation groove 140 is arranged at an end of the first rotating shaft 122 and / or the second rotating shaft 132, and is used for being connected with the driving mechanism.

[0060] The installation groove 140 can be arranged at an end of the first rotating shaft 122 or the second rotating shaft 132 away from the body 110, and is used for being connected with the driving mechanism, and specifically can be connected with an output shaft of the driving motor.

[0062] ​In summary, the air guide door structure provided by the application comprises a plurality of air guide units 100 arranged in sequence and capable of rotating, the air guide unit 100 comprises a body, and the body 110 is a columnar structure. The body 110 comprises an air inlet surface, an air outlet surface and a guide micro-hole 111 communicating the air inlet surface and the air outlet surface; the air outlet surface comprises a partial curved surface of a columnar structure, the air outlet surfaces of the plurality of air guide units 100 are close to each other and abutted, and the air outlet is shielded. Since each air guide unit 100 comprises the body 110 of a columnar structure, the body 110 comprises an air inlet surface, an air outlet surface and a guide micro-hole 111 communicating the air inlet surface and the air outlet surface, when the air (air flow) of the air inlet surface passes through the guide micro-hole 111 and is blown out by the air outlet surface, a breeze is formed, and the comfort of the user is improved. Meanwhile, the plurality of air guide units 100 are arranged in sequence and capable of rotating, the air outlet surface is formed by a partial curved surface of a columnar structure, the air outlet surfaces of the plurality of air guide units 100 are close to each other and abutted, so that the plurality of air guide units 100 are closely arranged and can effectively shield the air outlet of the air conditioner.
