[0043] The wind sweeping device of the present invention includes a first wind sweeping assembly 10 for sweeping wind in a first direction and a second wind sweeping assembly 20 for sweeping wind in a second direction. The first direction is tilted relative to the second direction. Specifically, the first wind sweeping assembly 10 can swing up and down for sweeping wind in the up and down directions, and the second wind sweeping assembly 20 can swing left and right for sweeping wind in the left and right directions. The wind sweeping device also includes a driving member 30 and a transmission mechanism. The transmission mechanism includes a transmission member 41, a first transmission assembly 42, and a second transmission assembly 43. The driving member 30 is drivingly connected to the transmission member 41; the first transmission assembly 42 is connected to the first wind sweeping assembly 10, and the second transmission assembly 43 is connected to the second wind sweeping assembly 20. The transmission member 41 is movably arranged so as to be switchable between a first connection state, a second connection state, and a third connection state. When the transmission member 41 is in the first connection state, the transmission member 41 is connected to the first transmission assembly 42 alone, and the driving member 30 drives the first air sweeping assembly 10 to sweep air in the first direction, i.e., the up and down direction, through the transmission member 41 and the first transmission assembly 42; when the transmission member 41 is in the second connection state, the transmission member 41 is connected to the second transmission assembly 43 alone, and the driving member 30 drives the second air sweeping assembly 20 to sweep air in the second direction, i.e., the left and right direction, through the transmission member 41 and the second transmission assembly 43; when the transmission member 41 is in the third connection state, the transmission member 41 is connected to the first transmission assembly 42 and the second transmission assembly 43, and the driving member 30 drives the first air sweeping assembly 10 and the second air sweeping assembly 20 to sweep air together through the transmission member 41, the first transmission assembly 42 and the second transmission assembly 43, i.e., sweeping air up and down / left and right at the same time. It can be seen that the air sweeping device of the present invention can simultaneously realize the left and right and up and down air sweeping functions with a single driving member, and can also switch between three different air sweeping modes, saving the cost of the entire device and solving the problem that the prior art requires two driving members to realize the up and down and left and right air sweeping functions at the same time, which is high in cost and occupies a large space.

[0044] It should be noted that the first direction being tilted relative to the second direction includes the first direction being perpendicular to the second direction. Optionally, the first direction is the up-down direction of the air conditioner indoor unit, and the second direction is the left-right direction of the air conditioner indoor unit.

[0045] Specifically, the first air sweeping assembly 10 and the second air sweeping assembly 20 are both arranged at the air supply port 55 of the panel 50; the driving member 30 is installed below the air supply port 55. Of course, the installation position of the driving member can also be set to the left, right or above the air supply port 55.

[0046] Optionally, the driving member 30 is a motor.

[0047] In this embodiment, the driving member 30 has an output shaft 31, which is connected to the transmission member 41. The output shaft 31 is rotatably arranged to drive the transmission member 41 to rotate, so that the transmission member 41 drives the first transmission component 42 and the second transmission component 43 to move; the transmission member 41 is movably arranged along the extension direction of the output shaft 31 to switch between a first position, a second position and a third position. When the transmission member 41 is in the first position, the transmission member 41 is in a first connection state; when the transmission member 41 is in the second position, the transmission member 41 is in a second connection state; when the transmission member 41 is in the third position, the transmission member 41 is in a third connection state.

[0048] Specifically, the driving member 30 has an output shaft 31, which is connected to the transmission member 41. The output shaft 31 is rotatably arranged to drive the transmission member 41 to rotate, so that the transmission member 41 drives the first transmission component 42 and the second transmission component 43 to move; the transmission member 41 is movably arranged along the extension direction of the output shaft 31 to switch between the first position, the second position and the third position. When the transmission member 41 moves to the first position, the transmission member 41 is in the first connection state, the output shaft 31 rotates to drive the transmission member 41 to rotate, and the transmission member 41 and the first transmission assembly 42 drive the first air sweeping assembly 10 to sweep air in the first direction, i.e., the up and down direction; when the transmission member 41 moves to the second position, the transmission member 41 is in the second connection state, the output shaft 31 rotates to drive the transmission member 41 to rotate, and the transmission member 41 and the second transmission assembly 43 drive the second air sweeping assembly 20 to sweep air in the second direction, i.e., the left and right direction; when the transmission member 41 moves to the third position, the transmission member 41 is in the third connection state, the output shaft 31 rotates to drive the transmission member 41 to rotate, and the transmission member 41, the first transmission assembly 42 and the second transmission assembly 43 drive the first air sweeping assembly 10 and the second air sweeping assembly 20 to sweep air together, i.e., sweep air up and down / left and right at the same time. In this way, the air sweeping device can use a single drive member to simultaneously realize the left and right and up and down sweeping functions, and can also switch between three different air sweeping modes.

[0049] In this embodiment, the air sweeping device also includes: a panel 50, having an air supply port 55, the first air sweeping component 10 and the second air sweeping component 20 are both connected to the panel 50 and arranged at the air supply port 55; a button 60, connected to the panel 50 and performing reciprocating linear motion along a first preset direction, the button 60 is connected to the transmission member 41, so that the transmission member 41 can be switched between the first position, the second position and the third position through the movement of the button 60; wherein the first preset direction is arranged parallel to the extension direction of the output shaft 31.

[0050] Specifically, the air sweeping device also includes a panel 50 and a button 60. The panel 50 has an air supply port 55, and the first air sweeping assembly 10 and the second air sweeping assembly 20 are both connected to the panel 50 and arranged at the air supply port 55. The button 60 is connected to the panel 50 and the transmission member 41 respectively. The transmission member 41 is switched between the first position, the second position and the third position by the button 60 performing reciprocating linear motion along a first preset direction. The first preset direction is set parallel to the extension direction of the output shaft 31. When the button 60 moves to the left key position so that the transmission member 41 is in the first position, the transmission member 41 is in the first connection state; when the button 60 moves to the right key position so that the transmission member 41 is in the second position, the transmission member 41 is in the second connection state; when the button 60 moves to the middle key position so that the transmission member 41 is in the third position, the transmission member 41 is in the third connection state; wherein the middle key position is located between the left key position and the right key position. The three key positions (left, middle, and right) of the button correspond to three sweeping modes: up and down sweeping, up and down / left and right sweeping at the same time, and left and right sweeping. Therefore, the three different sweeping modes can be switched through the buttons on the panel.

[0051] Optionally, the button 60 is waist-shaped, or may be in other shapes such as a rectangle or a diamond; the panel 50 may be assembled by screw fixing.

[0052] In this embodiment, the panel 50 has a first limit slot 51, a third limit slot 53 and a second limit slot 52 arranged in sequence along a first preset direction; the button 60 includes a main body 61 and a limit slot 62 connected to the main body 61, and the limit slot 62 can be selectively arranged in one of the first limit slot 51, the third limit slot 53 and the second limit slot 52. By pushing the main body 61, the limit slot 62 is switched between the first limit slot 51, the third limit slot 53 and the second limit slot 52, so that the transmission member 41 is switched between the first position, the third position and the second position.

[0053] Specifically, the panel 50 has a first limiting groove 51, a third limiting groove 53 and a second limiting groove 52 arranged in sequence along the first preset direction, that is, a direction parallel to the extension direction of the output shaft 31. The button 60 includes a main body 61 and a limiting part 62 connected to the main body 61. The main body 61 and the limiting part 62 can make reciprocating linear motion along the first preset direction. The limiting part 62 can be selectively arranged in one of the first limiting groove 51, the third limiting groove 53 and the second limiting groove 52. When a person pushes the main body 61 of the button 60 to move the limiting portion 62 to the first limiting slot 51, the transmission member 41 is in the first position and is in the first connection state. When a person pushes the main body 61 of the button 60 to move the limiting portion 62 to the second limiting slot 52, the transmission member 41 is in the second position and is in the second connection state. When a person pushes the main body 61 of the button 60 to move the limiting portion 62 to the third limiting slot 53, the transmission member 41 is in the third position and is in the third connection state. Thus, by pushing the main body 61 of the button on the panel, the limiting portion 62 can be switched between the first limiting slot 51, the third limiting slot 53, and the second limiting slot 52, thereby switching between the three different air sweeping modes by pressing the button on the panel.

[0054] In this embodiment, the transmission member 41 has a slide groove 412; the button 60 also includes a paddle 63, the first end of the paddle 63 is connected to the main body 61, and the second end of the paddle 63 is inserted into the slide groove 412, so that the paddle 63 pushes the transmission member 41 to perform reciprocating linear motion along the first preset direction under the drive of the main body 61, and the transmission member 41 is rotatably arranged relative to the paddle 63.

[0055] Specifically, the button 60 also includes a paddle 63. The first end of the paddle 63 is connected to the main body 61, and the second end of the paddle 63 is inserted into the slot 412 on the transmission member 41. The slot 412 is located between the two wheels of the transmission member 41, and the transmission member 41 is rotatably arranged relative to the paddle 63. The paddle 63 connects the main body 61 and the transmission member 41. When a person pushes the main body 61 of the button 60, the main body 61, via the paddle 63, drives the transmission member 41 to perform reciprocating linear motion in a first predetermined direction. In other words, the main body 61, via the paddle 63, drives the transmission member 41 to switch between the first position, the third position, and the second position. Thus, by pushing the main body 61 of the button on the panel, the paddle 63 drives the transmission member 41 to move, thereby controlling the button on the panel to switch between three different air sweeping modes. It can be seen that the setting of the paddle 63 enables the button 60 to drive the transmission member 41 to move along the first preset direction, and can also achieve the movement separation of the button 60 and the transmission member 41 when the transmission member 41 rotates, so that the transmission member 41 rotates alone.

[0056] Optionally, the paddle 63 is a plate-shaped structure. Of course, the shape of the paddle 63 can be replaced by other structures such as a cylinder; in addition, the slide groove 412 of the transmission member 41 can also be set on the outside of the wheel.

[0057] In this embodiment, the panel 50 has a mounting opening 54; the main body 61 is located outside the mounting opening 54, the paddle 63 is inserted into the mounting opening 54, and a slot 64 is formed between the paddle 63 and the main body 61. The slot 64 is clamped on the mounting edge 541 of the mounting opening 54 to limit the connection between the button 60 and the panel 50.

[0058] Specifically, the panel 50 has a mounting opening 54, a main body 61 located outside the mounting opening 54, and a paddle 63 inserted into the mounting opening 54. A slot 64 is formed between the paddle 63 and the main body 61. The slot 64 is secured to a mounting edge 541 of the mounting opening 54 and serves to limit the button 60 in the upper and lower positions, preventing the button 60 from moving loosely on the panel 50 and affecting the air sweeping function. The up and down direction here refers to the height of the air conditioner indoor unit.

[0059] In this embodiment, the mounting opening 54 has two mounting edges 541 arranged opposite to each other, and the two mounting edges 541 are each provided with a first limiting groove 51, a third limiting groove 53, and a second limiting groove 52; the button 60 includes two paddles 63 and two limiting portions 62, and the two paddles 63 are both inserted into the slide groove 412, and the two paddles 63 and the two card slots 64 formed by the main body 61 are arranged opposite to each other, so that the two card slots 64 are respectively clamped on the two mounting edges 541; the two limiting portions 62 respectively switch between the first limiting groove 51, the third limiting groove 53, and the second limiting groove 52 on the two mounting edges 541.

[0060] Specifically, the mounting opening 54 has two opposing mounting edges 541, each of which is provided with a first limiting groove 51, a third limiting groove 53, and a second limiting groove 52. The button 60 includes two paddles 63 and two limiting portions 62. The two paddles 63 are inserted into the sliding groove 412, and the two engaging grooves 64 formed by the two paddles 63 and the main body 61 are respectively engaged on the two mounting edges 541.
