[0002] With the continuous improvement of people's living standards, air conditioners have become an indispensable household appliance. Currently, air conditioners are generally equipped with a rotatable air deflector, which is used to guide the airflow and adjust the wind direction. However, existing air deflectors are relatively large in horizontal dimensions. After long-term use, the air deflector is prone to deformation, affecting the stability of its rotation. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The problem solved by the present invention is how to support and limit the air guide plate to prevent the air guide plate from being deformed and ensure the stability of the rotation of the air guide plate.

[0004] To solve the above problems, the technical solution of the present invention is achieved as follows:

Compared with the prior art, the air conditioner housing assembly provided by the present invention utilizes mutually cooperating support arms and limit blocks, thereby being able to support and limit the air guide plate, thereby preventing deformation of the air guide plate and ensuring the stability of the air guide plate's rotation.

[0006] Furthermore, the air conditioner housing assembly further includes a rotating shaft, through which the support arm rotates in conjunction with the limit block. The support arm can support and limit the middle portion of the air deflector through the rotating shaft to prevent the middle portion of the air deflector from deforming.

[0007] Furthermore, the support arm has a through hole, and the limit block has a limit hole. The position of the through hole corresponds to the position of the limit hole. The rotating shaft is disposed through the through hole and the limit hole and is rotatably engaged with the through hole and the limit hole. The support arm can limit the position of the limit block via the rotating shaft, thereby supporting and limiting the air deflector, preventing deformation of the air deflector and ensuring the stability of the air deflector's rotation.

[0008] Furthermore, the rotating shaft and the support arm are integrally formed, the limiting block is provided with a limiting hole, and the rotating shaft is rotatably arranged in the limiting hole.

[0013] Furthermore, the outer surface of the housing is provided with a limit slot with an arc-shaped cross-section. The support arm protrudes into the limit slot, and the air deflector is partially disposed within the limit slot and can rotate relative to the limit slot. The limit slot can make way for the air deflector to rotate, thereby preventing interference between the air deflector and the middle frame.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, specific embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0025] First embodiment

[0026] Please refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 The embodiment of the present invention provides an air conditioner housing assembly 100 for assembling an air conditioner wall unit. The housing assembly 100 can support and limit the air guide plate 120 to prevent deformation of the air guide plate 120 and ensure the stability of the rotation of the air guide plate 120.

[0027] It should be noted that the air conditioning housing assembly 100 is used in a wall-mounted air conditioning unit. The wall-mounted air conditioning unit is capable of blowing hot or cold air into the room to achieve heating or cooling functions. Specifically, the wall-mounted air conditioning unit includes a drive mechanism 200 and the air conditioning housing assembly 100. The drive mechanism 200 is in transmission connection with the air conditioning housing assembly 100, and the drive mechanism 200 can drive a portion of the air conditioning housing assembly 100 to rotate. The air conditioning housing assembly 100 is used to shield and protect the components within the wall-mounted air conditioning unit.

[0028] The air conditioner housing assembly 100 includes a housing 110, an air deflector 120, and a rotating shaft 130. The housing 110 defines an air outlet 111. The air deflector 120 is rotatably mounted on the outside of the housing 110 and positioned above the air outlet 111. A drive mechanism 200 is in transmission connection with the air deflector 120. The drive mechanism 200 drives the air deflector 120 to rotate relative to the housing 110, opening or closing the air outlet 111 and thereby adjusting the airflow direction.

[0029] It should be noted that a support arm 112 is provided in the middle of the housing 110 and is located above the air outlet 111. A stopper 121 is provided in the middle of the air deflector 120, and the support arm 112 cooperates with the stopper 121. The support arm 112 is used to support and limit the air deflector 120 through the stopper 121 to prevent deformation of the air deflector 120 and ensure the stability of the rotation of the air deflector 120.

[0030] In this embodiment, the shaft 130 is independently provided, and the support arm 112 rotates with the limit block 121 via the shaft 130. The support arm 112 can support and limit the middle portion of the air deflector 120 via the shaft 130 to prevent the middle portion of the air deflector 120 from deformation.

[0031] Specifically, the support arm 112 is hook-shaped and defines a through hole 113. The limiting block 121 defines a limiting hole 122. The position of the through hole 113 corresponds to the position of the limiting hole 122. The rotating shaft 130 is disposed through the through hole 113 and the limiting hole 122 and is rotatably engaged with both the through hole 113 and the limiting hole 122. The support arm 112 can limit the position of the limiting block 121 via the rotating shaft 130, thereby supporting and limiting the air deflector 120, preventing deformation of the air deflector 120 and ensuring the stability of its rotation.

[0032] In this embodiment, the rotating shaft 130 is mounted on the air deflector 120 to fix the relative position of the rotating shaft 130 and the stop block 121, preventing the rotating shaft 130 from moving relative to the stop block 121. Specifically, the support arm 112 is arranged parallel to the stop block 121, and the stop hole 122 and the through hole 113 are both circular. The diameter of the stop hole 122 is the same as the diameter of the through hole 113. The rotating shaft 130 can rotate relative to the support arm 112, and the support arm 112 can limit the rotating shaft 130, thereby limiting and supporting the entire air deflector 120, preventing deformation of the air deflector 120.

[0033] In this embodiment, the support arm 112 supports and limits the middle portion of the air deflector 120 via the rotating shaft 130 to prevent deformation of the middle portion of the air deflector 120. Specifically, because the drive mechanism 200 drives the air deflector 120 at both ends of the air deflector 120, both ends of the air deflector 120 are supported and limited. Therefore, the middle portion of the air deflector 120 is most susceptible to deformation. In this embodiment, the support arm 112 supports and limits the middle portion of the air deflector 120 via the rotating shaft 130 to ensure that the entire air deflector 120 does not deform. However, this is not limiting. In other embodiments, the limit block 121 may be disposed at other locations on the air deflector 120, and the location of the limit block 121 is not specifically limited.

[0034] In this embodiment, the number of the rotating shaft 130 and the support arm 112 are both one, and the support arm 112 can support and limit one position of the air guide plate 120 through the rotating shaft 130, but it is not limited to this. In other embodiments, the number of the rotating shaft 130 and the support arm 112 can also be two. In this case, the support arm 112 can support and limit two different positions on the air guide plate 120 through the rotating shaft 130, and there is no specific limitation on the number of the rotating shaft 130 and the support arm 112.

[0035] It is worth noting that there are two limit blocks 121, which are arranged parallel and spaced apart on the air deflector 120, and the support arm 112 is arranged between the two limit blocks 121. The two limit blocks 121 work together to limit the support arm 112 and prevent the support arm 112 from moving relative to the air deflector 120. Specifically, each limit block 121 has a limit hole 122. The rotating shaft 130 can sequentially pass through one limit hole 122, the through hole 113, and the other limit hole 122. The support arm 112 can simultaneously limit the two limit blocks 121 through the rotating shaft 130, further improving the support and limiting effect on the air deflector 120 and preventing deformation of the air deflector 120.

[0036] The housing 110 includes a middle frame 114 and a base 115. The middle frame 114 and base 115 are detachably connected. The air outlet 111 is provided on the middle frame 114. The air deflector 120 is rotatably coupled to the middle frame 114. The drive mechanism 200 is mounted on the base 115, passes through the middle frame 114, and is in transmission connection with the air deflector 120. The drive mechanism 200 can drive the air deflector 120 to open or close the air outlet 111. The support arm 112 is provided on the middle frame 114. The middle frame 114 supports and limits the air deflector 120 through the support arm 112 and the rotating shaft 130, preventing deformation of the air deflector 120.

[0037] In this embodiment, the outer surface of the housing 110 is provided with a limiting groove 117, which is disposed on the middle frame 114 and is located above the air outlet 111. The limiting groove 117 has an arcuate cross-section, and the support arm 112 protrudes into the limiting groove 117. The air deflector 120 is partially disposed within the limiting groove 117 and is capable of rotating relative to the limiting groove 117. The limiting groove 117 allows the air deflector 120 to move freely, facilitating its rotation and preventing interference between the air deflector 120 and the middle frame 114.

[0038] The air guide plate 120 includes a plate body 123 and a rotating shaft tube 124. The plate body 123 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft tube 124, and the rotating shaft tube 124 is rotatably matched with the middle frame 114. The plate body 123 can rotate along the axial direction of the rotating shaft tube 124. The limit block 121 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft tube 124, and the rotating shaft tube 124 can shield and hide the limit block 121 to improve the aesthetics. The support arm 112 is extended into the rotating shaft tube 124, and the position of the support arm 112 corresponds to the position of the limit block 121. The rotating shaft tube 124 is rotatably set in the limiting groove 117, and the limiting groove 117 can limit the rotating shaft tube 124. The rotating shaft 130 is installed in the rotating shaft tube 124 to fix the relative position of the rotating shaft 130 and the rotating shaft tube 124 to prevent the rotating shaft 130 from being displaced relative to the rotating shaft tube 124.

[0039] The air conditioner housing assembly 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention has an air outlet 111 formed in the housing 110, an air guide plate 120 rotatably mounted on the outside of the housing 110 and positioned above the air outlet 111, a support arm 112 disposed in the middle of the housing 110, the support arm 112 being positioned above the air outlet 111, a stop block 121 disposed in the middle of the air guide plate 120, the support arm 112 cooperating with the stop block 121, and the support arm 112 being used to support and position the air guide plate 120 via the stop block 121. Compared to the prior art, the air conditioner housing assembly 100 provided by the present invention utilizes a rotating shaft 130 extending through the through hole 113 and the stop hole 122, thereby being able to support and position the air guide plate 120, thereby preventing deformation of the air guide plate 120 and ensuring the stability of the rotation of the air guide plate 120.

[0041] Please refer to Figure 5 An embodiment of the present invention provides an air conditioning housing assembly 100. Compared with the first embodiment, the difference of this embodiment is that the setting position of the support arm 112 is different.

[0042] In this embodiment, the middle frame 114 is provided with a clearance hole 116, and the support arm 112 is arranged on the base 115 and extends out of the clearance hole 116. The base 115 can support and limit the air guide plate 120 through the support arm 112 and the rotating shaft 130 to prevent the air guide plate 120 from deformation.
