DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0037] As disclosed in the background art, the prior art generally uses a drive bracket structure for driving the air guide door, that is, a bracket is provided on the air guide door, and the bracket extends from the air outlet into the middle frame and is connected to the motor, thereby realizing the driving of the air guide door, that is, the rotating shaft of the air guide door is usually located on the inner side of the middle frame. Furthermore, in order to improve the applicability of the air conditioner and prevent the bracket from affecting the air outlet effect, a structure in which the rotating shaft of the air guide door is exposed has emerged, that is, a structure in which the driving device extends outward to drive the rotation of the air guide door. The air guide door is provided on the outside of the middle frame, and the driving device directly drives the air guide door to rotate. However, when the driving device directly drives the structure, the air guide door is likely to interfere with the driving device when rotating, affecting the opening and closing angle of the air guide door. At the same time, a gap is likely to form at the connection between the rotating shaft of the air guide door and the driving device, thereby forming a black shadow. Combined with the exposure of the rotating shaft of the air guide door, a black shadow appears on the exterior surface of the entire air conditioner, thereby affecting the overall appearance.

[0038] To address the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides an air conditioner and an air conditioner that can avoid interference when the air guide door rotates and avoid dark shadows on the appearance. To make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, specific embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0039] First embodiment

[0040] See also Figures 1 to 5 This embodiment provides an air conditioner 100, which reasonably sets the size relationship of each component so that there will be no interference when the air guide door 150 rotates, avoids the generation of black shadows at the connection, and improves the overall appearance.

[0041] The present embodiment provides an air conditioner 100, comprising a middle frame 110, a drive box 130, and an air guide door 150 disposed outside the middle frame 110. The middle frame 110 is provided with a transmission opening 111, and the end of the drive box 130 extends out of the transmission opening 111. A transmission box 170 is further provided at the end of the drive box 130. The transmission box 170 is transmission-connected to the drive box 130 and is respectively disposed on both sides of the transmission opening 111. A transmission shaft 170 is provided on one side edge of the air guide door 150. 90. A clearance gap 191 is opened on the transmission shaft 190. The transmission box 170 is located in the clearance gap 191 and is in transmission connection with the transmission shaft 190 for driving the transmission shaft 190 to rotate. The width of the transmission box 170 is greater than the width of the clearance gap 191 so that the transmission box 170 blocks the clearance gap 191. The width of the clearance gap 191 is greater than the width of the end of the drive box 130 to avoid interference with the end of the drive box 130 when the transmission shaft 190 rotates.

[0042] In this embodiment, the air conditioner 100 is suitable for a wall mounted air conditioner. The middle frame 110 is mounted on the base 210, and the drive box 130 is mounted inside the middle frame 110 and connected to the base 210. A transmission opening 111 is provided in the middle frame 110, so that the end of the drive box 130 extends out of the transmission opening 111 and is connected to the transmission shaft 190 of the air guide door 150 via a transmission box 170 disposed at the end. The transmission shaft 190 has a clearance notch 191, and the transmission box 170 is positioned within the clearance notch 191. The width of the transmission box 170 is greater than the width of the clearance notch 191, so that the transmission box 170 can cover the clearance notch 191, thereby avoiding the appearance of a gap and the appearance of a dark shadow. Furthermore, the width of the clearance notch 191 is greater than the end of the drive box 130, thereby preventing interference between the transmission shaft 190 and the end of the drive box 130 during rotation, thereby ensuring smooth movement of the air guide door 150.

[0043] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the drive box 130 and the transmission box 170 are integrally arranged, an air outlet 151 is provided at the bottom of the middle frame 110, the transmission opening 111 is opened on the upper side of the air outlet 151, and the transmission shaft 190 of the air guide door 150 is located on the upper side of the air outlet 151. Driven by the transmission shaft 190, the air guide door 150 can close the air outlet 151 from top to bottom to complete the adjustment of the air outlet direction. Compared with the conventional air guide plate 230 located on the lower side of the air outlet 151, the air guide door 150 in this embodiment can achieve downward air outlet, and the air outlet range is wider, which is more conducive to the landing of hot air in the heating mode.

[0044] See also Figure 6 The transmission shaft 190 includes a transmission shaft barrel 193 and a transmission shaft core (not shown). The transmission shaft core is housed within the transmission shaft barrel 193, with a clearance notch 191 formed in the transmission shaft barrel 193, exposing the transmission shaft core. The transmission box 170 is in driving connection with the transmission shaft core. By providing the transmission shaft barrel 193 and the transmission core, the transmission shaft 190 can utilize a hollow structure to achieve power transmission, thereby achieving a weight reduction function.

[0045] In this embodiment, the transmission shaft 190 is cylindrical in structure, with a clearance notch 191 formed on and surrounding the transmission shaft barrel 193. The end of the drive box 130 is inserted into the clearance notch 191, and the transmission box 170 extends into the transmission shaft barrel 193. The end of the drive box 130 is connected to the transmission box 170, which is in turn in driving connection with the transmission shaft core disposed within the transmission shaft barrel 193, thereby achieving power transmission. Furthermore, the width of the transmission box 170 is greater than that of the drive box 130, and the width of the clearance notch 191 is greater than the width of the end of the drive box 130 and less than the width of the transmission box 170. This allows the transmission box 170 to be retained within the transmission shaft barrel 193 and block the clearance notch 191. This ensures that no gaps appear between the edges of the clearance notch 191 and the edges of the transmission box 170, thus avoiding the appearance of a dark shadow.

[0046] In this embodiment, there are two transmission openings 111, which are spaced apart on the middle frame 110 and disposed near the left and right ends of the air outlet 151. There are also two drive boxes 130, each of which is disposed inside the two transmission openings 111. Each drive box 130 is provided with a transmission box 170 at its end. Two clearance notches 191 are provided on the transmission shaft 190 near its ends, respectively. This allows the two transmission boxes 170 to be disposed inside the two clearance notches 191, respectively, to drive the transmission shaft 190 from both ends. Specifically, the two drive boxes 130 operate synchronously, and the transmission shaft 190 is driven to rotate synchronously by the two transmission boxes 170, achieving stable drive. Of course, a single drive box 130 can also be used to drive one end of the transmission shaft 190, with the other end of the transmission shaft 190 rotatably disposed on the middle frame 110, which can also achieve the same driving effect.

[0047] In this embodiment, the size of the transmission opening 111 should be larger than the size of the transmission box 170, and also larger than the size of the end of the drive box 130, so that the transmission box 170 can pass through the transmission opening 111 from the inside of the middle frame 110 to the outside of the middle frame 110, and at the same time, the end of the drive box 130 is inserted into the transmission opening 111.

[0048] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the width of the transmission box 170, the width of the end of the drive box 130, and the width of the clearance gap 191 all refer to the width along the axis of the transmission shaft 190. In this embodiment, the circumference of the transmission box 170 is an arc-shaped surface, and the size of the transmission box 170 is compatible with the size of the transmission shaft barrel 193, so that the transmission box 170 can be installed inside the transmission shaft barrel 193.

[0049] In this embodiment, the transmission shaft barrel 193 comprises a first half-sleeve 1931 and a second half-sleeve 1933. The transmission shaft core is disposed inside the first half-sleeve 1931. The second half-sleeve 1933 is clipped onto the first half-sleeve 1931 and covers the transmission shaft core. Specifically, the transmission shaft core is disposed in the middle of the first half-sleeve 1931. The transmission shaft barrel 193 is formed by snap-fitting the two half-sleeves together, facilitating the manufacture of the internal shaft core. Furthermore, the transmission shaft core, first half-sleeve 1931, and second half-sleeve 1933 can be formed separately, further reducing manufacturing complexity. Furthermore, the snap-fit ​​assembly method provides high assembly efficiency.

[0050] In this embodiment, the first half sleeve 1931 and the second half sleeve 1933 are clamped together as one piece, and the transmission shaft core can be fixed between the first half sleeve 1931 and the second half sleeve 1933 by clamping. Of course, in other preferred embodiments, the transmission shaft core can also be integrally molded with the first half sleeve 1931 to ensure a secure fixation effect.

[0051] Please continue to see Figure 1 In this embodiment, a receiving groove 113 is further provided on the outer side of the middle frame 110, and an air outlet 151 is further provided on the bottom side of the middle frame 110. The receiving groove 113 is located above the air outlet 151. The transmission opening 111 passes through the receiving groove 113. The end of the drive box 130 extends into the receiving groove 113. The transmission shaft 190 is rotatably received in the receiving groove 113. The air guide door 150 is used to open or close the air outlet 151 driven by the transmission shaft 190. By opening an accommodating groove 113 on the outer side of the middle frame 110 and accommodating the transmission shaft 190 in the accommodating groove 113, the protruding height of the transmission shaft 190 relative to the middle frame 110 can be reduced, thereby making the overall appearance of the air conditioner 100 more flush, and by setting the accommodating groove 113 on the upper side of the air outlet 151, the air guide door 150 can be closed or opened from top to bottom, thereby improving the adjustment range of the air guide door 150.

[0052] In this embodiment, a panel 115 is further provided on the outside of the middle frame 110. The panel 115 extends to the upper edge of the accommodating groove 113 and is loosely fitted with the transmission shaft 190. Preferably, the surface of the panel 115 is flush with the transmission shaft 190. The provision of the panel 115 improves the external appearance of the air conditioner 100. At the same time, the panel 115 extends to the upper edge of the accommodating groove 113 to limit the position of the transmission shaft 190.

[0053] In this embodiment, the accommodating groove 113 is in the shape of a semicircular groove, and its size matches the size of the transmission shaft 190. At the same time, by setting the panel 115 and making the transmission shaft 190 and the surface of the panel 115 remain flush, the appearance flatness of the air conditioner is improved.

[0054] See also Figure 7 and Figure 8 The drive box 130 includes a first box body 131 and a drive gear 133, and the transmission box 170 includes a second box body 171 and a transmission gear 173. The end of the first box body 131 extends out of the transmission opening 111 and is connected to the second box body 171. The drive gear 133 is arranged in the first box body 131, and the transmission gear 173 is arranged in the second box body 171. The drive gear 133 and the transmission gear 173 are meshed with each other, and the transmission gear 173 is connected to the transmission shaft 190 for transmission. The width of the second box body 171 is greater than the width of the clearance gap 191, and the width of the first box body 131 is less than the width of the clearance gap 191. The power transmission is achieved by the mutual engagement of the driving gear 133 and the transmission gear 173, which improves the stability of the power transmission. The arrangement of the first box body 131 and the second box body 171 can accommodate the driving gear 133 and the transmission gear 173. At the same time, the width of the first box body 131 is smaller than the width of the clearance gap 191, which can avoid interference between the first box body 131 and the transmission shaft 190. The width of the second box body 171 is larger than the width of the clearance gap 191, which can block the width of the clearance gap 191 and avoid the formation of a gap between the second box body 171 and the edge of the clearance gap 191 to cause a black shadow in appearance.

[0055] It should be noted that the first box body 131 and the second box body 171 are integrally formed and, by virtue of being covered from top to bottom, together define an inner cavity. The drive gear 133 and the transmission gear 173 are housed in this inner cavity in a meshing manner, with the drive gear 133 located within the first box body 131, and the transmission gear 173 located within the second box body 171. Furthermore, the width of the first box body 131 represents the width of the drive box 130, and the width of the first box body 131 is smaller than the width of the clearance notch 191, thereby enabling the clearance notch 191 to function as a clearance. The width of the second box body 171 is larger than the width of the clearance notch 191, thereby enabling the second box body 171 to obstruct the clearance notch 191.

[0056] In this embodiment, a motor 135 is further provided on the first housing 131. The motor 135 is located inside the middle frame 110. The output shaft of the motor 135 is connected to the drive gear 133 to rotate the drive gear 133. The motor 135 is mounted on the first housing 131, and the output shaft is directly connected to the drive gear 133, thereby providing power for the rotation of the transmission shaft 190. This facilitates installation and saves installation space for the motor 135.

[0057] In this embodiment, the drive gear 133 is a dual-gear structure, comprising a large and a small gear. The large gear is connected to the output shaft of the motor 135, and the small gear meshes between the large gear and the transmission gear 173. By adding the small gear, the distance between the motor 135 and the transmission gear 173 can be increased, allowing the motor 135 to be installed farther from the middle frame 110, thereby providing sufficient installation space for the motor 135. Of course, the drive gear 133 can also adopt a single gear structure, which can also achieve power transmission.

[0058] In this embodiment, a transmission pin sleeve 175 is provided on the transmission gear 173. The transmission pin sleeve 175 extends out of the second housing 171 and is connected to the transmission shaft 190. Specifically, the transmission pin sleeve 175 is in driving connection with the transmission mandrel. The transmission pin sleeve 175 has a hexagonal hole, and the end of the transmission mandrel is hexagonal and cylindrical, so that the transmission mandrel can be inserted into the transmission pin sleeve 175, thereby fixing the two together. The provision of the transmission pin sleeve 175 enables smooth power transmission between the transmission shaft 190 and the transmission gear 173. Of course, power transmission between the transmission gear 173 and the transmission mandrel can also be achieved through other transmission structures, which are not listed here.

[0059] Furthermore, the drive box 130 also includes a mounting bracket 137, which is disposed on an edge of the first box body 131. The mounting bracket 137 is provided with a mounting seat, which has a mounting hole, and a fixing member for fixing the mounting bracket 137 is assembled in the mounting hole. Specifically, the mounting hole is a screw hole, and the fixing member is a screw. The mounting bracket 137 is fixed to the base 210 by the screw. By providing the mounting bracket 137, the first box body 131 can be fixed, ensuring the stability of the first box body 131.

[0060] In summary, this embodiment provides an air conditioner 100. By providing a transmission opening 111 on the middle frame 110, the end of the drive box 130 extends out of the transmission opening 111 and is connected to the transmission shaft 190 of the air guide door 150 via a transmission box 170 disposed at the end. A clearance notch 191 is provided on the transmission shaft 190. The transmission box 170 is positioned within the clearance notch 191, and the width of the transmission box 170 is greater than the width of the clearance notch 191. This allows the transmission box 170 to obscure the clearance notch 191, thereby avoiding the appearance of a gap and the appearance of a dark shadow. Furthermore, the width of the clearance notch 191 is greater than the end of the drive box 130, thereby preventing interference between the transmission shaft 190 and the end of the drive box 130 during rotation, thereby ensuring smooth movement of the air guide door 150. The air conditioner 100 provided in this embodiment can avoid interference when the air guide door 150 rotates, ensuring the smooth movement of the air guide door 150, while avoiding the appearance of black shadows at the connection, thereby improving the appearance.
