Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of air conditioning technology, and more specifically, to an air guide module and an air conditioner. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of technology, consumers are increasingly demanding air conditioners to improve their quality of life. Therefore, the design and production of air conditioners requires consideration not only of practicality but also of assembly. In existing technologies, multiple air guide vanes need to be assembled individually. Ensuring precise installation of each vane consumes significant time and resources, reducing production efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The problem solved by this invention is how to improve the technical problem of low production efficiency caused by the high assembly difficulty of multiple air guide vanes in the prior art.

[0004] To address the above problems, the present invention provides an air guide module configured to be detachably connected to the air outlet frame of an air conditioner. The air guide module includes a connector and multiple air guide blades.

[0005] Each of the aforementioned air guide vanes is detachably connected to the connecting member;

[0006] The connector is configured to be detachably attached to the inside of the upper cover of the air outlet frame.

[0007] The advantages of the air guiding module provided by this invention compared to the prior art include:

[0008] In the process of assembling multiple air guide vanes into the air outlet frame, the multiple air guide vanes can be first assembled onto the connector, so that the connector and the air guide vanes form a whole. In other words, the connector and the multiple air guide vanes can be modularized to form an air guide module. Then, by cooperating with the connector and the upper cover of the air outlet frame, that is, by assembling the connector onto the inside of the upper cover of the air outlet frame, the assembly of multiple air guide vanes can be completed. Thus, the installation and assembly of multiple air guide vanes can be achieved simultaneously. When the connector and the upper cover of the air outlet frame are in a separate state, it is easier to assemble multiple air guide vanes onto the connector. Therefore, the difficulty of assembling multiple air guide vanes can be reduced, thereby reducing the time consumed in assembling multiple air guide vanes and improving production efficiency. Therefore, the air guide module provided by this invention can improve the technical problem of high assembly difficulty of multiple air guide vanes in the prior art, which leads to low production efficiency.

[0009] Optionally, the connector has a first side and a second side disposed opposite to each other, and the end of the air guide vane is detachably mounted to the connector from the first side; the second side is configured to mate with the upper cover. The air guide vane can be mounted onto the connector from the first side, thereby modularizing the connector and the multiple air guide vanes. Alternatively, by mounting the second side of the connector to the inside of the upper cover, the air guide module can be installed through a bottom-up assembly method.

[0010] Optionally, the connector includes a main body and a connecting structure; the first side and the second side are respectively located on opposite sides of the main body; the connecting structure is disposed on the second side and configured to detachably engage with the upper cover; the end of the air guide vane is detachably mounted to the main body from the first side. The air guide module can be installed through the detachable connection between the connecting structure and the upper cover of the air outlet frame.

[0011] Optionally, the connecting structure includes a snap-fit ​​portion and a connecting portion; the snap-fit ​​portion and the connecting portion are spaced apart on the second side surface; the snap-fit ​​portion is configured to snap into the upper cover, and the connecting portion is configured to be detachably connected to the upper cover via a fastener. When installing the air guide module, the initial positioning of the main body can be achieved through the detachable engagement between the connecting portion and the upper cover of the air outlet frame, thereby ensuring that the main body can be installed in the designated position on the upper cover, and also facilitating the engagement of the connecting portion with the upper cover via the fastener. Of course, the engagement between the connecting portion and the upper cover can also provide a limiting effect on the main body, thereby ensuring the positional stability of the connecting portion during its connection to the upper cover via the fastener, thus ensuring the accuracy of the engagement between the main body and the upper cover.

[0012] Optionally, the latching portion includes at least two spaced latching members, and the outer sides of both latching members protrude to form latching blocks;

[0013] The two snap-fit ​​members are configured to pass through mating holes opened in the upper cover, such that the two snap-fit ​​blocks respectively engage with the two side walls of the mating holes.

[0014] To improve the stability of the connector on the cover, the main body may optionally have two oppositely disposed ends;

[0015] The snap-fit ​​portion is provided at both ends of the main body; and / or, the connecting portion is provided at the middle of the main body.

[0016] To ensure the installation stability of the air guide blade and the main body, the connector may optionally include an installation structure; the installation structure protrudes from the second side, and the end of the air guide blade passes through the main body and is detachably engaged with the installation structure.

[0017] An air conditioner includes an air outlet frame and an air guide module; the air guide module includes a connector and multiple air guide blades.

[0018] Each of the aforementioned air guide vanes is detachably connected to the connecting member;

[0019] The connector is configured to be detachably connected to the inside of the upper cover of the air outlet frame. The air outlet frame has an upper cover, and the connector is detachably connected to the inside of the upper cover.

[0020] The present invention also provides an air conditioner that uses the above-mentioned air guide module, and the beneficial effects of the air conditioner compared with the prior art are the same as the beneficial effects of the air guide module provided above compared with the prior art, which will not be repeated here.

[0021] To facilitate the installation of the connector, optionally, the inner side of the top cover is provided with a receiving cavity, and the connector is disposed inside the receiving cavity, with the connector detachably engaging with the bottom wall of the receiving cavity. When the connector is engaged with the top cover, the connector is located inside the receiving cavity, thereby improving the stability of the engagement between the connector and the top cover; in addition, it also allows the connector to be accommodated in the receiving space, preventing the connector from affecting the rotation of the air guide vanes.

[0022] Optionally, the connector includes a main body and a connecting structure; the main body has a first side and a second side disposed opposite to each other, the connecting structure is disposed on the second side, and the air guide vane is detachably assembled to the main body from the first side; a mating structure is provided on the bottom wall of the accommodating cavity, and the mating structure is detachably mated with the connecting structure.

Detailed Implementation

[0031] To make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0032] This application provides an air conditioner 1, which is configured to be installed in a designated area. The air conditioner 1 is also configured to provide air conditioning to the designated area during operation to improve the air quality and thereby enhance the comfort of users within the designated area. The air conditioning function includes, but is not limited to, temperature regulation, humidity regulation, fresh air intake, and fan speed regulation.

[0033] It should be noted that air conditioner 1 can generate airflow for air conditioning and direct the airflow to a designated area, thereby providing air conditioning to the designated area. Please refer to [link / reference needed]. Figure 1 and Figure 2 The air conditioner 1 may include an air outlet frame 20 and multiple air guide vanes 120. An air outlet cavity is formed on the air outlet frame 20, through which airflow can pass and be directed to a designated area. Multiple air guide vanes 120 are mounted on the air outlet frame 20, and the air guide vanes 120 are configured to adjust the direction of airflow. It should be noted that the air guide vanes 120 guide the airflow by rotating relative to the air outlet frame 20. When the air conditioner 1 is normally placed, the swing plane of the air guide vanes 120 is horizontal; in other words, the air guide vanes 120 can be seen as guiding the airflow by swinging left and right.

[0034] In the existing technology, during the assembly of air conditioner 1, in order to ensure the installation accuracy and assembly stability of multiple air guide vanes 120, they are generally installed one by one. This method results in low installation efficiency of the multiple air guide vanes 120, thus leading to low assembly efficiency of air conditioner 1 and reducing its production efficiency.

[0035] To address the aforementioned problems, specifically the low assembly efficiency of air conditioner 1 in the prior art, which leads to low production efficiency of air conditioner 1, this application provides an air guide module 10 and an air conditioner 1, wherein the air conditioner 1 includes the air guide module 10 provided in this application. Please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 1 and Figure 2 The air guide module 10 is configured to be detachably connected to the air outlet frame 20 of the air conditioner 1 and is configured to guide the flow of air. In other words, when the air guide module 10 is installed on the air outlet frame 20, it can adjust the flow direction of the airflow out of the air outlet frame 20 to facilitate the provision of air conditioning to a specified location in a specified area.

[0036] The air guide module 10 includes a connector 110 and multiple air guide blades 120. Each air guide blade 120 is detachably connected to the connector 110, forming a single unit. This can be viewed as modularizing the connector 110 and the multiple air guide blades 120. Furthermore, the connector 110 is detachably connected to the inner side of the upper cover 21 of the air outlet frame 20. In other words, during the assembly of the air conditioner 1, the multiple air guide blades 120 can be first installed onto the connector 110, forming a single unit. Then, by assembling the unit together with the connector 110 and the multiple air guide blades 120 onto the inner side of the upper cover 21 of the air outlet frame 20, the assembly of the multiple air guide blades 120 can be completed simultaneously. Since it is relatively easy to assemble multiple air guide vanes 120 on the independent connector 110 when the connector 110 and the air outlet are detached, the installation of multiple air guide vanes 120 can be completed quickly, while ensuring the installation accuracy of multiple air guide vanes 120. Then, by assembling the connector 110 onto the air outlet frame 20, the multiple air guide vanes 120 are assembled to the air outlet frame 20. This simplifies the assembly process of multiple air guide vanes 120, thereby reducing the assembly difficulty. This can improve the problem of low assembly efficiency of air conditioner 1 in the prior art, which leads to low production efficiency of air conditioner 1, and achieve the goal of improving production efficiency. At the same time, it can also ensure the assembly accuracy of multiple air guide vanes 120.

[0037] It should be noted that the air conditioner 1 described above can be illustrated using a floor-standing air conditioner as an example. In this case, when the air conditioner 1 is normally placed on the ground, the air outlet frame 20 has multiple side plates that form the air outlet cavity. The side plate located at the top refers to the upper cover 21 of the air outlet frame 20, and the inner side of the upper cover 21 of the air outlet frame 20 refers to the side of the upper cover 21 that forms the air outlet cavity. In addition, when the multiple air guide blades 120 are assembled onto the connector 110, one end of the multiple air guide blades 120 is rotatably engaged with the connector 110, and the multiple air guide blades 120 are located on one side of the connector 110; when the connector 110 is assembled onto the upper cover 21, the other side of the connector 110 engages with the upper cover 21, thereby placing the multiple air guide blades 120 in the air outlet cavity to facilitate the adjustment of the airflow direction by the multiple air guide blades 120.

[0038] It should be understood that in some other embodiments of this application, the air conditioner 1 may also be a wall-mounted air conditioner 1 or a multi-split air conditioner 1; based on this, when the air conditioner 1 is placed normally, multiple air guide blades 120 may be in a state parallel to the horizontal direction. At this time, the side plate of the air outlet frame 20 may refer to the upper cover 21 of the air outlet frame 20.

[0039] Optionally, please refer to the following: Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments of this application, the connector 110 has a first side 101 and a second side 102 disposed opposite to each other. The end of the guide vane 120 is detachably mounted to the connector 110 from the first side 101; in other words, the guide vane 120 passes through the connector 110 from the first side 101 to rotatably engage with the connector 110. In addition, the second side 102 is configured to engage with the upper cover 21, thereby realizing the engagement between the connector 110 and the upper cover 21 to facilitate the assembly of multiple guide vanes 120.

[0040] It should be noted that when multiple air guide blades 120 are assembled with connectors 110, the multiple air guide blades 120 and connectors 110 are rotatably coupled. When connectors 110 are coupled with the upper cover 21 of the air outlet frame 20, connectors 110 simultaneously provide load-bearing capacity to multiple air guide blades 120, thereby enabling multiple air guide blades to rotate stably.

[0041] In some embodiments of this application, the connector 110 includes a main body 111 and a connecting structure. A first side 101 and a second side 102 are respectively located on opposite sides of the main body 111. Optionally, the main body 111 is generally plate-shaped, and the first side 101 and the second side 102 are two sides in the thickness direction of the main body 111. The connecting structure is disposed on the second side 102 and configured to detachably engage with the upper cover 21; in other words, when the connector 110 engages with the upper cover 21, the second side 102 of the main body 111 faces the upper cover 21, and the connecting structure engages with the upper cover 21, thereby allowing the main body 111 to be stably mounted on the upper cover 21. In addition, the end of the air guide blade 120 is detachably mounted to the main body 111 from the first side 101; when multiple air guide blades 120 are engaged with the main body 111, the ends of multiple air guide blades 120 are engaged with the main body 111, and the other part of the air guide blade 120 is located on one side of the first side 101 of the main body 111, so that when the main body 111 is engaged with the upper cover 21, multiple air guide blades 120 can be located inside the air outlet cavity to facilitate adjustment of the airflow direction.

[0042] Optionally, please refer to the following: Figure 4 and Figure 5 The connecting structure includes a snap-fit ​​portion 112 and a connecting portion 113. The snap-fit ​​portion 112 and the connecting portion 113 are spaced apart on the second side surface 102. The snap-fit ​​portion 112 is configured to snap onto the upper cover 21, and the connecting portion 113 is configured to be detachably connected to the upper cover 21 via a fastener (not shown). During the engagement of the connecting portion 110 with the upper cover 21, the snap-fit ​​portion 112 can be snapped onto the upper cover 21 first, thereby achieving pre-installation of the connecting portion 110. Simultaneously, the corresponding position of the connecting portion 113 on the upper cover 21 is aligned. In other words, the initial positioning of the connecting portion 113 and the upper cover 21 can be achieved through the snap-fit ​​engagement of the snap-fit ​​portion 112 with the upper cover 21. When the corresponding positions of the connecting portion 113 and the upper cover 21 are aligned, the fastener passes through the upper cover 21 and connects to the connecting portion 113, thereby achieving a detachable engagement between the connecting portion 113 and the upper cover 21, and simultaneously completing the engagement between the connecting portion 110 and the upper cover 21.

[0043] It should be noted that by providing a snap-fit ​​portion 112 and a connecting portion 113 on the main body 111, the snap-fit ​​portion 112 can achieve a rough fit between itself and the upper cover 21, while simultaneously positioning the connecting portion 113 and the upper cover 21. Then, a fastener connects the connecting portion 113 and the upper cover 21, thus completing the fit between the connecting portion 110 and the upper cover 21. This allows the connecting portion 110 to be quickly assembled onto the upper cover 21. The snap-fit ​​portion 112 provides a limiting effect on the connecting portion 110, while the connecting portion 113 provides a stabilizing effect, ensuring a stable connection of the connecting portion 110 to the upper cover 21. Of course, to disassemble the connecting portion 110, the connection between the upper cover 21 and the connecting portion 113 is released, and then external force is applied to disengage the snap-fit ​​portion 112 from the upper cover 21, thus completing the disassembly of the connecting portion 110. Based on this, the connection between the connector 110 and the top cover 21 can be completed by configuring only a small number of fasteners, and the connection between the connector 110 and the top cover 21 can be quickly disassembled by removing only a small number of fasteners, which simplifies the assembly process of the connector 110 and the top cover 21, reduces the assembly difficulty of the connector 110, and improves the assembly efficiency.

[0044] The connection between the connecting part 113 and the upper cover 21 via a fastener can be as follows: The fastener is a screw. The upper cover 21 has a through hole adapted to the screw, and the connecting part 113 has a threaded hole adapted to the screw. Thus, the screw can pass through the through hole and engage with the threaded hole, thereby achieving a detachable connection between the connecting part 113 and the upper cover 21, and simultaneously fixing the connecting part 110 relative to the upper cover 21. Alternatively, the fastener is a pin. The upper cover 21 and the connecting part 113 have pin holes adapted to the pin. The pin can pass through the pin holes on the upper cover 21 and the connecting part 113 to achieve a detachable connection between the connecting part 113 and the upper cover 21. Or, the fastener can be a rivet or an adhesive component.

[0045] In some embodiments of this application, the latching portion 112 includes at least two spaced latching members 1121, with the outer sides of both latching members 1121 protruding to form latching blocks 1122. In other words, the latching portion 112 may include multiple latching members 1121. Taking the center point of the pattern formed by the multiple latching members 1121 as the base point, the side of any latching member 1121 away from the base point is the outer side of the latching member 1121. Taking the latching portion 112 as an example that includes two latching members 1121, the midpoint of the line connecting the two latching members 1121 is the base point. Relatively speaking, the outer sides of the two latching members 1121 represent the opposite sides of the two latching members 1121. The two snap-fit ​​pieces 1121 can each correspond to a mating hole 201, so that the snap-fit ​​piece 1121 passes through the mating hole 201 and the snap-fit ​​block 1122 is snapped onto the peripheral wall of the mating hole 201, so as to realize the snap-fit ​​part 112 and the upper cover 21.

[0046] Optionally, in some other embodiments of this application, two snap-fit ​​pieces 1121 may correspond to one mating hole 201. In other words, the two snap-fit ​​pieces 1121 are configured to pass through the mating hole 201 opened in the upper cover 21, so that the two snap-fit ​​blocks 1122 respectively snap onto the two side walls of the mating hole 201. Taking the number of snap-fit ​​pieces 1121 as an example, the mating hole 201 has at least two parallel inner side walls, and the distance between the two inner side walls is approximately equal to the distance between the two snap-fit ​​pieces 1121. Thus, when the two snap-fit ​​pieces 1121 are accommodated in the mating hole 201, the outer side of the snap-fit ​​piece 1121 is approximately in contact with the two inner side walls of the mating hole 201. At the same time, the two snap-fit ​​blocks 1122 can snap onto the opening of the mating hole 201, thereby realizing the engagement between the snap-fit ​​part 112 and the upper cover 21.

[0047] Based on this, the process of the latching part 112 latching onto the upper cover 21 is roughly as follows: the two latching pieces 1121 move toward the upper cover 21 and extend into the mating hole 201; since the distance between the two latching blocks 1122 is greater than the distance between the two corresponding inner sidewalls in the mating hole 201, the latching blocks 1122 move toward each other, and at the same time, the latching pieces 1121 undergo elastic deformation; as the latching pieces 1121 continue to extend into the mating hole 201, they can drive the latching blocks 1122 through the mating hole 201, and then, through the elastic recovery of the latching pieces 1121, the two latching blocks 1122 are latched at the opening of the mating hole 201, while at the same time, the latching pieces 1121 adhere to the inner sidewall of the mating hole 201. This completes the latching engagement between the latching part 112 and the upper cover 21.

[0048] When the snap-fit ​​part 112 engages with the mating hole 201, the locking action of the snap-fit ​​block 1122 against the upper cover 21 provides a limiting effect on the connector 110, preventing the connector 110 from detaching from the upper cover 21. Furthermore, the locking action of the two snap-fit ​​parts 1121 against the two inner walls of the mating hole 201 respectively provides a limiting effect on the connector 110, preventing it from moving in a direction parallel to the main body 111. Based on this, the stability of the engagement between the connector 110 and the upper cover 21 can be ensured.

[0049] It should be understood that in other embodiments of this application, the engagement between the snap-fit ​​portion 112 and the upper cover 21 can also be achieved in other ways. For example, the snap-fit ​​portion 112 may include only one snap-fit ​​member 1121 and one snap-fit ​​block 1122 protruding from the snap-fit ​​member 1121; in other words, the case where one snap-fit ​​member 1121 corresponds to one mating hole 201 can be considered as the snap-fit ​​portion 112 including only one snap-fit ​​member 1121 and one snap-fit ​​block 1122. For another example, the snap-fit ​​portion 112 may be cylindrical. Furthermore, a hole adapted to the connecting portion 113 is provided on the upper cover 21, and the snap-fit ​​between the connecting portion 113 and the upper cover 21 can be achieved by an interference fit between the cylindrical connecting portion 113 and the hole.

[0050] Furthermore, the main body 111 has two oppositely arranged ends; it should be noted that the main body 111 is generally rectangular, and the two ends of the main body 111 can be considered as the two ends of the main body 111 along its length. Optionally, a snap-fit ​​portion 112 is provided on both ends of the main body 111; and / or, a connecting portion 113 is provided at the middle position of the main body 111. Here, "and / or" means that: the snap-fit ​​portion 112 can be provided only at both ends of the main body 111, or the connecting portion 113 can be provided only at the middle position of the main body 111, or the snap-fit ​​portion 112 can be provided at both ends of the main body 111, and the connecting portion 113 can also be provided at the middle position of the main body 111, etc. It should be noted that, even when only the snap-fit ​​portion 112 is provided at both ends of the main body 111, the connecting portion 113 can be provided at one end of the main body 111, or the connecting portion 113 can be provided at other positions on the main body 111, etc. Alternatively, if the connecting part 113 is provided only in the middle of the main body 111, the snap-fit ​​part 112 may also be provided in the middle of the main body 111.

[0051] In some embodiments of this application, snap-fit ​​portions 112 are provided at both ends of the main body 111. This allows the two snap-fit ​​portions 112 to provide load-bearing capacity from both ends of the main body 111 when they engage with the upper cover 21, thereby providing a uniform force to the main body 111 and ensuring that the main body 111 can stably achieve initial positioning with the upper cover 21. Then, the connecting portion 113 can engage with the upper cover 21 to provide a stabilizing force from the middle of the main body 111, which can improve the stability of the engagement between the main body 111 and the upper cover 21.

[0052] It should be noted that in some embodiments of this application, since the latching portion 112 includes two spaced-apart latching members 1121, the two latching members 1121 can be located close to both sides of the main body 111 in the width direction. This allows the two latching blocks 1122 on the two latching members 1121 to engage with the upper cover 21, enabling the latching blocks 1122 to attach to the upper cover 21 and provide a uniform load-bearing force to the main body 111, thus ensuring the stability of the main body 111. Of course, even if the two latching members 1121 are located near the center in the width direction of the main body 111, the two latching blocks 1122 can still provide load-bearing force to the main body 111 at two points, thereby ensuring the initial positioning stability of the main body 111 and the upper cover 21.

[0053] In addition, to facilitate the installation of multiple guide vanes 120, in some embodiments of this application, the connector 110 further includes a mounting structure 114; the mounting structure 114 protrudes from the second side 102, and the end of the guide vane 120 passes through the main body 111 and is detachably engaged with the mounting structure 114. In other words, when the guide vane 120 is engaged with the connector 110, the end of the guide vane 120 passes through the main body 111 and is rotatably engaged with the mounting structure 114. Optionally, the main body 111 has a through hole, and correspondingly, the mounting structure 114 has a groove adapted to the through hole, thereby forming a mounting groove together with the main body 111 and the mounting structure 114, and the end of the guide vane 120 is rotatably disposed inside the mounting groove. It should be understood that in other embodiments of this application, the mounting structure 114 may also have a through hole to facilitate the assembly of the guide vane 120.

[0054] In some embodiments of this application, the main body 111, connecting portion 113, snap-fit ​​portion 112, and mounting structure 114 are integrally formed. In other words, the connector 110 can be formed by integral casting, thereby integrating the connecting portion 113, snap-fit ​​portion 112, and mounting structure 114 onto the main body 111. Of course, at least one of the connecting portion 113, snap-fit ​​portion 112, and mounting structure 114 can also be mounted onto the main body 111 by welding, bonding, or snap-fit.

[0055] Please refer to the following: Figure 5 and Figure 6 To facilitate the connection of the connector 110, in this embodiment, the inner side of the upper cover 21 is provided with a receiving cavity 211, and the connector 110 is disposed inside the receiving cavity 211, with the connector 110 detachably engaged with the bottom wall of the receiving cavity 211. In other words, when the connector 110 is engaged with the upper cover 21, the connector 110 is located inside the receiving cavity 211, and the first side 101 of the main body 111 is approximately flush with the opening of the receiving cavity 211. This makes the upper cover 21 and the connector 110 form a whole, and makes the first side 101 of the main body 111 approximately flush with the inner side of the upper cover 21, thereby improving the overall aesthetics of the air outlet frame 20 and the air guide module 10. Of course, in some other embodiments of this application, the receiving cavity 211 can also be omitted.

[0056] In addition, to facilitate the cooperation between the upper cover 21 and the connector 110, a mating structure 212 is provided on the bottom wall of the accommodating cavity 211. The mating structure 212 is detachably mated with the connector. The mating structure 212 includes at least a mating hole 201, which is configured to mate with the snap-fit ​​portion 112. It should be understood that for the two snap-fit ​​pieces 1121 in one snap-fit ​​portion 112, two mating holes 201 can be provided on the upper cover 21, allowing the two snap-fit ​​pieces 1121 to extend into the two mating holes 201 respectively, thereby causing the two snap-fit ​​blocks 1122 to snap into the openings of the two mating holes 201 respectively. Alternatively, only one mating hole 201 can be provided, in which case the two snap-fit ​​pieces 1121 extend into the same mating hole 201, and the two snap-fit ​​blocks 1122 mate with the two opposing inner sidewalls of the mating hole 201 respectively.

[0057] In addition, in the embodiments of this application, the mating structure 212 may further include a positioning space 202, which is disposed on the bottom wall of the accommodating cavity 211 and configured to accommodate the mounting structure 114. The positioning space 202 provides positioning for the mating of the connector 110 and the upper cover 21 through the mating of the mounting structure 114 and the positioning space 202, ensuring the assembly accuracy of the connector 110. Of course, accommodating the mounting structure 114 through the positioning space 202 also facilitates the assembly of the connector 110 and reduces the volume occupied by the connector 110 and the upper cover 21.

[0058] In summary, the air guide module 10 and air conditioner 1 provided in this application can, during the process of assembling multiple air guide blades 120 onto the air outlet frame 20, first assemble the multiple air guide blades 120 onto the connector 110, so that the connector 110 and the air guide blades 120 form a whole. In other words, the connector 110 and the multiple air guide blades 120 can be modularized to form the air guide module 10. Then, through the cooperation of the connector 110 and the upper cover 21 of the air outlet frame 20, that is, by assembling the connector 110 onto the inner side of the upper cover 21 of the air outlet frame 20, the assembly of multiple air guide blades 120 can be completed. Thus, the installation and assembly of multiple air guide blades 120 can be achieved simultaneously. When the connector 110 and the upper cover 21 of the air outlet frame 20 are in a separated state, it is easier to assemble multiple air guide blades 120 onto the connector 110. Therefore, the difficulty of assembling multiple air guide blades 120 can be reduced, thereby reducing the time consumed in installing multiple air guide blades 120 and improving production efficiency. Therefore, the air guide module 10 provided by the present invention can improve the technical problem of high assembly difficulty of multiple air guide blades 120 in the prior art, which leads to low production efficiency.

[0059] While the present invention has been disclosed above, it is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art can make various modifications and alterations without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention; therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be determined by the scope defined in the claims.
