[0037] Reference below Figure 1-Figure 24 The air conditioner 100 and a method of controlling the air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present invention are described.

[0038] like Figures 1 to 11 The air conditioner 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a body 10, a first air guide plate 111, a second air guide plate 112, and a drive device 12. The body 10 can provide support for other components of the air conditioner 100, wherein an air conditioning module, such as a heat exchanger and a fan, can be disposed within the body 10. The first air guide plate 111 and the second air guide plate 112 can both function as air guides, and are suitable for guiding the airflow delivered by the air conditioner 100. They can also increase or reduce the pressure, thereby realizing a variety of air supply modes.

[0039] Specifically, the body 10 has an air outlet 101, through which the air flow can be delivered. In other words, the air flow entering the body 10 undergoes one or more operations such as heat exchange, filtration, sterilization, and disinfection in the body 10 before being delivered through the air outlet 101.

[0040] The first air guide plate 111 is connected to the body 10, and the first air guide plate 111 is movable. The first air guide plate 111 can change its air supply direction by sliding and swinging to supply air to the destination according to actual usage needs. The first air guide plate 111 is arranged at the air outlet 101, that is, the first air guide plate 111 can guide the airflow of the air outlet 101.

[0041] The second air guide plate 112 is connected to the body 10 and is movable. The second air guide plate 112 can change its air supply direction by sliding and swinging to supply air to the destination location according to actual usage needs. The second air guide plate 112 is arranged at the air outlet 101, that is, the second air guide plate 112 can guide the airflow of the air outlet 101.

[0042] The first air guide plate 111 and the second air guide plate 112 are arranged along the width direction of the air outlet 101, and at least one of the first air guide plate 111 and the second air guide plate 112 is movable along the width direction of the air outlet 101. In other words, the first air guide plate 111 can move along the width direction; or the second air guide plate 112 can move along the width direction; or the first air guide plate 111 can move along the width direction, and the second air guide plate 112 can also move along the width direction. By moving the first air guide plate 111 and / or the second air guide plate 112 in the width direction, the distance between the first air guide plate 111 and the second air guide plate 112 can be adjusted. In fact, the first air guide plate 111 and the second air guide plate 112 separate multiple air outlet areas at the air outlet 101, that is, there is an air supply area between the first air guide plate 111 and the side of the air outlet 101, between the second air guide plate 112 and the other side of the air outlet 101, and between the first air guide plate 111 and the second air guide plate 112. In addition, since the air guide direction of the first air guide plate 111 and the air guide direction of the second air guide plate 112 can be adjusted, the air supply methods of the multiple air outlet areas separated by the first air guide plate 111 and the second air guide plate 112 may also be different. Moreover, since the first air guide plate 111 and the second air guide plate 112 can swing around their axes, a variety of different air supply methods can be provided to meet different usage requirements.

[0043] In addition, the drive device 12 of the present invention is in transmission connection with the first air guide plate, and the drive device 12 is in transmission connection with the second air guide plate 112. The drive device 12 can drive the first air guide plate 111 and the second air guide plate 112, so that the first air guide plate 111 and the second air guide plate 112 are combined to form different air supply modes.

[0044] According to the air conditioner 100 of the embodiment of the present invention, a first air guide plate 111 and a second air guide plate 112 are provided. The combination of the first air guide plate 111 and the second air guide plate 112 can provide multiple air outlet modes to meet different usage requirements.

[0045] Among them, the first air guide plate 111 and the second air guide plate 112 can both supply air in the same direction, so that multiple airflows can be formed to improve the comfort of air supply; in addition, the first air guide plate 111 and the second air guide plate 112 can also supply air in different directions. In this way, while forming multiple airflows, different air supply effects can also be produced, for example, a gradually expanding or contracting channel is constructed between the first air guide plate 111 and the second air guide plate 112.

[0046] The air conditioner 100 in the present invention can be a cabinet air conditioner, a vertical air conditioner, a wall-mounted air conditioner, a split unit, a mobile air conditioner, etc. For different air conditioners 100, their width direction and length direction are not the same, but as a general principle, the air outlet 101 is generally a long strip structure, so its length direction is the extension direction of the longer dimension of the air outlet 101, and its width direction is the direction corresponding to its narrower dimension. Taking the cabinet air conditioner as an example, the length direction of the air outlet 101 is the up and down direction shown in the accompanying drawings, and the width direction of the air outlet 101 is the left and right direction in the accompanying drawings. Among them, the drawings of the present invention mainly illustrate the cabinet air conditioner as an example, but this should not be understood as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention. It should be understood that this is a detailed description of one embodiment in order to clearly illustrate the technical solution of the present application.

Figure 3 In the embodiment, the first air guide plate and the second air guide plate extend in directions away from each other, and the first air guide plate and the second air guide plate are substantially perpendicular to the air supply direction of the air outlet, so as to be suitable for closing the air outlet. Figure 4 In the embodiment, the first air guide plate and the second air guide plate extend in the same direction, and the first air guide plate and the second air guide plate are substantially perpendicular to the air supply direction of the air outlet, so as to be suitable for closing the air outlet.

Figure 8 In the embodiment, the first air guide plate and the second air guide plate extend in the same direction and along the air supply direction, and both the first air guide plate and the second air guide plate have arc-shaped surfaces, and the arc-shaped surface of the first air guide plate is opposite to the arc-shaped surface of the second air guide plate. Figure 9 In the embodiment, the first air guide plate and the second air guide plate extend in the same direction and extend along the air supply direction, and the first air guide plate and the second air guide plate both have an arcuate surface, the arcuate surface of the first air guide plate is opposite to the arcuate surface of the second air guide plate, and relative to Figure 8 , Figure 9 The distance between the first air guide plate and the second air guide plate is increased.

Figure 11 In the embodiment, the first air guide plate and the second air guide plate extend in opposite directions, wherein the first air guide plate is inclined to the left in the air supply direction, and the second air guide plate is inclined to the right in the air supply direction, and the first air guide plate and the second air guide plate both have an arc-shaped surface, the arc-shaped surface of the first air guide plate is opposite to the arc-shaped surface of the second air guide plate, and relative to Figure 10 In terms of Figure 11 The gap between the first air guide plate and the second air guide plate is reduced.

[0048] The driving device 12 in the present invention includes a structure for driving the first air guide plate 111, and may also have a structure for driving the second air guide plate 112, wherein the driving device 12 may be configured to simultaneously drive the first air guide plate 111 and the second air guide plate 112, or the driving device 12 may be configured to separately drive the first air guide plate 111 and the second air guide plate 112. For example, the first air guide plate 111 and the second air guide plate 112 share a set of driving structures, so that the first air guide plate 111 and the second air guide plate 112 will be driven simultaneously. The first air guide plate 111 and the second air guide plate 112 may also be provided with different driving structures, so that the first air guide plate 111 and the second air guide plate 112 can be controlled separately. Of course, when different driving structures are used for the first air guide plate 111 and the second air guide plate 112, the synchronous driving of the first air guide plate 111 and the second air guide plate 112 may also be achieved based on a program, a synchronization structure, or the like.

[0049] Combine Figures 12 to 15 In some embodiments of the present invention, the driving device 12 includes a first driving component 121, and the first driving component 121 can be configured to drive the movement and swing of the first air guide plate 111, wherein the first driving component 121 is connected to the body 10, and the first driving component 121 is connected to the first air guide plate 111, and the first driving component 121 can drive the first air guide plate 111 to perform translational motion or rotational motion relative to the body 10, or the first driving component 121 can be configured to drive the body 10 to perform a combined motion of movement and rotation.

Through the driving action of the first driving component 121, the movement and swinging of the first air guide plate 111 can be conveniently achieved to meet different air supply requirements.

[0050] Similarly, the drive device 12 may further include a second drive assembly 122, which may be configured to drive the movement and swinging of the second air guide plate 112, wherein the second drive assembly 122 is connected to the body 10, and the second drive assembly 122 is connected to the second air guide plate 112, and the second drive assembly 122 may drive the second air guide plate 112 to perform translational motion or rotational motion relative to the body 10, or the second drive assembly 122 may be configured to drive the body 10 to perform a combined motion of movement and rotation.

Through the driving action of the second drive assembly 122, the movement and swinging of the second air guide plate 112 can be conveniently achieved to meet different air supply requirements.

[0051] In addition, the first air guide plate 111 and the second air guide plate 112 each employ a corresponding drive assembly, which makes the driving of the first air guide plate 111 and the second air guide plate 112 more flexible, further improving the air supply method and air supply effect of the air conditioner 100. In addition, under the driving action of the drive device 12, the first air guide plate 111 and the second air guide plate 112 can both move and swing, which can further optimize the air supply effect of the air conditioner 100.

[0052] like Figure 14 and Figure 15In some embodiments of the present invention, the first drive assembly 121 may include a fixed portion 12A. The fixed portion 12A of the first drive assembly 121 may be configured to be relatively fixedly connected to the body 10. The fixed portion 12A of the first drive assembly 121 may be directly connected to the body 10 or may be fixedly connected to the body 10. The first drive assembly 121 may also include a moving portion 12B. The moving portion 12B of the first drive assembly 121 may be in driving connection with the fixed portion 12A of the first drive assembly 121. The moving portion 12B of the first drive assembly 121 may be used to drive the first air guide plate 111 to move. Among them, under the driving action of the fixed part 12A of the first driving component 121, the moving part 12B of the first driving component 121 can move along a predetermined direction, wherein the predetermined direction can be the width direction of the air outlet 101, and the moving part 12B of the first driving component 121 is connected to the first air guide plate 111. The movement of the moving part 12B of the first driving component 121 will be transmitted to the first air guide plate 111, thereby realizing the driving of the first air guide plate 111. The first drive component 121 may further include a swinging portion 12C, and the swinging portion 12C of the first drive component 121 is used to drive the first air guide plate 111 to swing, wherein the swinging portion 12C of the first drive component 121 may be provided on the moving portion 12B of the first drive component 121, and the first air guide plate 111 is connected to the swinging portion 12C of the first drive component 121, so that the moving portion 12B of the first drive component 121 can drive the swinging portion 12C of the first drive component 121 to move, and then the swinging portion 12C of the first drive component 121 will drive the first air guide plate 111 to move, and the swinging portion 12C of the first drive component 121 can drive the first air guide plate 111 to swing, so that the swinging and movement of the first air guide plate 111 can be realized.

[0053] Similarly, the second drive assembly 122 may include a fixed portion 12A. The fixed portion 12A of the second drive assembly 122 may be configured to be relatively fixedly connected to the body 10. The fixed portion 12A of the second drive assembly 122 may be directly connected to the body 10 or may be fixedly connected to the body 10. The second drive assembly 122 may also include a moving portion 12B. The moving portion 12B of the second drive assembly 122 may be in driving connection with the fixed portion 12A of the second drive assembly 122. The moving portion 12B of the second drive assembly 122 may be used to drive the second air deflector 112 to move. Among them, under the driving action of the fixed part 12A of the second driving component 122, the moving part 12B of the second driving component 122 can move along a predetermined direction, wherein the predetermined direction can be the width direction of the air outlet 101, and the moving part 12B of the second driving component 122 is connected to the second air guide plate 112, and the movement of the moving part 12B of the second driving component 122 will be transmitted to the second air guide plate 112, thereby realizing the driving of the second air guide plate 112. The second drive assembly 122 may further include a swinging portion 12C. The swinging portion 12C of the second drive assembly 122 is configured to drive the second air guide plate 112 to swing. The swinging portion 12C of the second drive assembly 122 may be disposed on the movable portion 12B of the second drive assembly 122, and the second air guide plate 112 is connected to the swinging portion 12C of the second drive assembly 122. Thus, the movable portion 12B of the second drive assembly 122 can drive the swinging portion 12C of the second drive assembly 122 to move. Subsequently, the swinging portion 12C of the second drive assembly 122 drives the second air guide plate 112 to move, and the swinging portion 12C of the second drive assembly 122 drives the second air guide plate 112 to swing. Thus, the second air guide plate 112 can be swung and moved. In this way, the first air guide plate 111 and the second air guide plate 112 can be stably moved and swung, and the air guide plates can be driven so that the air guide plates can deliver air in a predetermined manner, thereby improving the intelligence of the air conditioner 100.

[0054] In addition, in order to achieve stable movement of the first air guide plate 111 and the second air guide plate 112, the present invention further provides a guide structure 13, which can guide the air guide plates. Specifically, Figure 14 and Figure 15 The driving device 12 can further include a guide structure 13, which can include a guide member 13A and a sliding member 13B. The guide member 13A can extend along the width direction of the air outlet 101, and the sliding member 13B can slide along the guide member 13A. The guide member 13A can be a slide groove or a slide rail, and the sliding member 13B can be a slider.

[0055] One of the guide member 13A and the slider 13B can be provided on the movable portion 12B, while the other can be fixedly connected to the housing 10. Specifically, the guide member 13A and the movable portion 12B are fixed relative to each other, while the slider 13B and the housing 10 are fixed relative to each other; or the slider 13B and the movable portion 12B are fixed relative to each other, while the guide member 13A and the housing 10 are fixed relative to each other. The guiding effect of the guide structure 13 ensures stable movement of the movable portion 12B, improving the stability of the air deflector's movement.

[0056] For ease of understanding, the following describes a specific guide structure 13 of the present invention, using an example in which a sliding member 13B is disposed on the movable portion 12B and the guide member 13A is fixedly connected to the housing 10. Guide member 13A may be a chute, and sliding member 13B may be a slider. Specifically, guide structure 13 includes a chute and a slider. The slider is connected to movable portion 12B, and the chute is fixed relative to the housing 10. The chute extends along the width of the air outlet 101, and the slider is slidably embedded in the chute along the width of the air outlet 101. The combination of the slider and chute enables stable movement of movable portion 12B, thereby improving the stability of the air deflector during movement.

[0057] Among them, corresponding guide structures 13 can be respectively provided for the moving portion 12B of the first drive component 121 and the moving portion 12B of the second drive component 122 to avoid mutual interference between the first drive component 121 and the second drive component 122, thereby further improving the stability of the movement of the first air guide plate 111 and the second air guide plate 112. Of course, in order to simplify the guide structure 13, the guide structure 13 of the first drive component 121 and the guide structure 13 of the second drive component can also be partially shared to simplify the structure. Specifically, a slider is provided on the moving portion 12B of the first drive component 121, and a slider is also provided on the moving portion 12B of the second drive component 122, and they can move along the same slide, that is, share the slide. In other words, the drive device 12 includes the first drive component 121, the second drive component 122 and the slide, and the slider provided on the swinging portion 12C of the first drive component 121 can be slidably embedded in the slide, and the slider provided on the swinging portion 12C of the second drive component 122 can be slidably embedded in the same slide.

[0058] Of course, the above detailed description of the guide structure 13 is only a specific implementation of the present invention, and does not limit the protection scope of the present invention.

[0059] In addition, the driving component in the present invention can adopt a gear transmission mechanism, a pulley transmission mechanism, a sprocket transmission mechanism, etc. In order to clearly describe the technical solution of the present invention, the present invention provides some specific implementation methods. Of course, this is not a limitation on the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0060] In some specific examples of the present invention, one of the fixed portion 12A and the movable portion 12B is a gear, and the other is a rack meshing with the gear, with the rack extending along the width of the air outlet 101. In other words, the fixed portion 12A is a gear, and the movable portion 12B is a rack meshing with the gear; or the movable portion 12B is a gear, and the fixed portion 12A is a rack meshing with the gear. Each of these is described below.

[0061] like Figure 14 and Figure 15 In one example, the fixed part 12A is a gear and the movable part 12B is a rack, wherein the relative position of the gear and the body 10 is fixed, and the gear is rotatable relative to the body 10, and the rack extends along the width direction of the air outlet 101, and the gear and the rack are engaged with each other. At this time, the guide structure 13 in the driving device 12 will be able to guide the rack to move along a predetermined trajectory. The gear can be driven by a motor, etc. When the gear rotates, since the gear is engaged with the rack and the rack is limited by the guide structure 13, therefore, in the process of the motor driving the gear to rotate, the rack will move along the predetermined trajectory, thereby achieving the purpose of driving the air guide plate to move.

[0062] In another example, the fixed portion 12A is a rack and the movable portion 12B is a gear, wherein the relative position of the rack to the body 10 is fixed, and the gear is relatively fixedly connected to the movable portion 12B, the gear extends along the width direction of the air outlet 101, and the rack and gear are meshed with each other. In this case, the guide structure 13 in the drive device 12 will be able to guide the gear to move along a predetermined trajectory. The gear can be driven by a motor, etc. When the gear rotates, because the rack and gear are meshed, the rack is fixed relative to the body 10, and the gear is limited by the guide structure 13, when the motor drives the gear to rotate, the gear will move along the predetermined trajectory, thereby achieving the purpose of driving the air guide plate to move. Through the meshing of the rack and gear, the guide plate can be driven to move stably, improving stability while also relatively accurately determining the position of the guide plate. Of course, the movement of the guide plate along the width direction of the air outlet 101 in the present invention can also be driven by other structures, such as a pulley mechanism, a connecting rod mechanism, etc. These are all within the scope of protection of this application.

[0063] The swinging portion 12C of the present invention may further include a rotary motor, which can drive the guide plate to rotate, thereby simplifying the driving of the guide plate and improving the driving stability. Of course, the swinging portion 12C may further include a speed reduction mechanism, etc.

[0064] The drive device 12 in the present invention can be exposed on the body 10, or it can be covered by the corresponding structure on the body 10. In addition, the present invention provides a specific implementation method, which accommodates the drive component by providing a drive box 14 to make the drive device 12 constructed into an integral structure for easy assembly and use, wherein the first drive component 121 and the second drive component 122 can be respectively arranged in two different drive boxes 14, or the first drive component 121 and the second drive component 122 can be arranged in different chambers in the same drive box 14. Of course, the first drive component 121 and the second drive component 122 can also be directly arranged in the same drive box 14 and located in the same chamber in the drive box 14.

[0065] like Figure 15 The drive device 12 may further include a drive box 14, in which the first drive component 121 is accommodated. The first drive component 121 may be integrated through the drive box 14, thereby effectively improving the integration of the drive device 12 and facilitating the assembly and installation of the drive device 12.

[0066] In addition, the drive device 12 can also be configured to include a drive box 14, and the second drive component 122 can be accommodated in the drive box 14. The second drive component 122 can be integrated through the drive box 14, thereby effectively improving the integration of the drive device 12 and facilitating the assembly and installation of the drive device 12.

[0067] Of course, the drive box 14 accommodating the first drive assembly 121 and the drive box 14 accommodating the second drive assembly 122 can be the same or different boxes. Preferably, in the present invention, in the same drive device 12, the first drive assembly 121 and the second drive assembly 122 are arranged in the same drive box 14, which further facilitates the integration of the drive device 12, protects the drive assembly, and improves the stability of the air conditioner 100.

[0068] The driving box 14 includes a box body 14A and a box cover 14B, which are closed together. A through groove is provided on one side surface of the driving box 14 for the swinging part to connect to the corresponding guide plate.

[0069] Combine Figure 1 、 Figure 2 as well as Figure 12 、 Figure 13In some embodiments of the present invention, the first air guide plate 111 extends along the length of the air outlet 101, and the second air guide plate 112 also extends along the length of the air outlet 101. A drive device 12 is provided at at least one end of the air outlet 101 along the length. In other words, the first guide plate can be connected to the drive device 12 at one end or at both ends; similarly, the second guide plate can be connected to the drive device 12 at one end or at both ends.

[0070] Taking the cabinet air conditioner as an example, the air outlet 101 extends in the up and down direction. Therefore, the length direction of the air outlet 101 is the up and down direction in the accompanying drawing. The first air guide plate 111 extends in the up and down direction, and the second air guide plate 112 extends in the up and down direction. The first air guide plate 111 is movable in the left and right direction, and the second air guide plate 112 is movable in the left and right direction. In addition, the first air guide plate 111 can swing, and the second air guide plate 112 can swing. Among them, a driving device 12 can be set at the upper end of the air outlet 101, and the driving device 12 is connected to the upper ends of the first air guide plate 111 and the second air guide plate 112 to realize the driving of the first air guide plate 111 and the second air guide plate 112; a driving device 12 can also be set at the lower end of the air outlet 101, and the driving device 12 is connected to the lower ends of the first air guide plate 111 and the second air guide plate 112 to realize the driving of the first air guide plate 111 and the second air guide plate 112; a driving device 12 can also be set at both the upper and lower ends of the air outlet 101, the driving device 12 located at the upper end of the air outlet 101 is connected to the upper ends of the first air guide plate 111 and the second air guide plate 112, and the driving device 12 located at the lower end of the air outlet 101 is connected to the lower ends of the first air guide plate 111 and the second air guide plate 112 to realize the driving of the first air guide plate 111 and the second air guide plate 112. When both the upper and lower ends of the air outlet 101 are connected to the driving device 12 , the driving devices 12 at the upper and lower ends of the air outlet 101 are connected to the same control module to facilitate stable driving of the air guide plate.

[0071] Of course, the driving device 12 in the present invention may also be arranged at other positions, for example, the driving device 12 may be arranged at the middle position in the length direction of the air outlet 101 .

[0072] like Figure 14In some embodiments of the present invention, the first air deflector 111 moves along an arc-shaped curve across the width of the air outlet 101. Specifically, the movement trajectory of the first air deflector 111 across the width of the air outlet 101 is an arc-shaped curve. The second air deflector 112 moves along an arc-shaped curve across the width of the air outlet 101. Specifically, the middle portion of the arc-shaped curve bulges outward from the air outlet 101. The air delivery trajectories of the first and second air deflectors 111, 112 can be adapted to the exterior surface of the air conditioner 100, thereby enhancing the aesthetics of the air conditioner 100. Furthermore, by providing an arc-shaped motion trajectory, the air delivery pattern can be further optimized. Compared to air deflectors that move in a straight line, air deflectors that move in a curved direction offer a wider range of air delivery options, meeting the diverse needs of users.

[0073] The first air guide plate 111 and the second air guide plate 112 move along the same arc curve in the width direction of the air outlet 101. This can improve the consistency of the movement trajectories of the first air guide plate 111 and the second air guide plate 112, simplify the structure, and improve the assembly efficiency of the air conditioner 100.

[0074] Optionally, the rotational axis of the first air deflector 111 is located at the center of the cross section of the first air deflector 111, or the rotational axis of the first air deflector 111 is close to the center of the cross section of the first air deflector 111. Similarly, the rotational axis of the second air deflector 112 is located at the center of the cross section of the second air deflector 112, or the rotational axis of the second air deflector 112 is close to the center of the cross section of the second air deflector 112. This facilitates the swinging of the first air deflector 111 and the second air deflector 112.

[0075] In some embodiments of the present invention, the first air guide plate 111 is a single-layer plate structure. Alternatively, the first air guide plate 111 may be a multi-layer plate structure. Similarly, the second air guide plate 112 may be a single-layer plate structure. Alternatively, the second air guide plate 112 may be a multi-layer plate structure.

[0076] The single-layer plate is a single-layer plate structure, and the surface of the single-layer plate can be set to an arc surface. For example, one side surface of the single-layer plate is set to an outward convex arc, while the other side surface is set to an outward convex arc or an inward concave arc, thereby forming different air guide modes. In addition, the double-layer plate can be set to have multiple plate bodies stacked together. For example, two plate bodies are stacked together, and there is a hollow structure between the two plate bodies. In addition, the air guide plate can extend along the length direction of the air outlet 101, and the arc surface of the air guide plate can be arc-shaped along the air supply direction. Of course, the description of the specific structure of the air guide plate in the present invention is only a specific embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0077] In addition, in the present invention, the first air guide plate 111 is swingable at the air outlet 101, and the second air guide plate 112 is swingable at the air outlet 101, wherein at least one of the first air guide plate 111 and the second air guide plate 112 can be configured to swing within a range of 0 to 180 degrees, thereby achieving stable air supply, and through reasonable configuration, the air guide plate can also be used to achieve the effect of sealing the air outlet 101. The present invention provides some embodiments to achieve large-angle swinging of the air guide plate. In some embodiments of the present invention, an air outlet duct is provided in the machine body 10, and the air flow can be sent to the air outlet 101 through the air outlet duct. The air outlet 101 and the air outlet duct are interconnected, that is, the air flow sent through the air outlet duct will be sent to the air outlet 101.

[0078] Among them, the width dimension of the air outlet 101 and the width dimension of the air outlet duct in the present invention can be set to be different. For example, the width of the air outlet 101 is set to be larger, that is, larger than the width dimension of the air outlet duct, thus forming a flared form, wherein both sides of the width direction of the air outlet 101 protrude from both sides of the width direction of the air outlet duct. Of course, the air outlet 101 can also be set to have a width smaller than the air outlet duct.

[0079] In addition, when the width of the air outlet 101 is greater than the width of the air outlet duct, the connection between the air outlet duct and the air outlet 101 is configured as a stepped surface, that is, the inner side surface of the air outlet duct and the inner side surface of the air outlet 101 are connected by a stepped surface. In order to achieve 180° swing of the air guide plate, the position of the rotation center axis of the air guide plate needs to be set to avoid interference. Specifically, the first air guide plate 111 can be set to be able to swing 180°, and the second air guide plate 112 can also be set to be able to swing 180°.

[0080] When the first air guide plate 111 can swing 180 degrees, the distance between the rotation center axis of the first air guide plate 111 and the step surface is D1, and the distance between the rotation center axis of the first air guide plate 111 and one end face of the air guide plate is D2. The rotation center axis of the first air guide plate 111 can be set to an eccentric form, that is, the distance between the rotation center axis of the first air guide plate 111 and the first end face of the first air guide plate 111 is smaller than the distance between the rotation center axis of the first air guide plate 111 and the second end face of the first air guide plate 111. When the first air guide plate 111 extends along the air supply direction, the second end face of the first air guide plate 111 is located in front of the first end face (along the air supply direction). By setting the dimension D2 to be the same as D1, the first air guide plate 111 can be stably swung, interference can be avoided, and the first air guide plate 111 can be swung 180 degrees.

[0081] In addition, when the second air guide plate 112 can swing 180 degrees, the distance between the rotation center axis of the second air guide plate 112 and the step surface is D1, and the distance between the rotation center axis of the second air guide plate 112 and one end face of the air guide plate is D2, wherein the rotation center axis of the second air guide plate 112 can be set to an eccentric form, that is, the distance between the rotation center axis of the second air guide plate 112 and the second end face of the second air guide plate 112 is less than the distance between the rotation center axis of the second air guide plate 112 and the second end face of the second air guide plate 112, and when the second air guide plate 112 extends along the air supply direction, the second end face of the second air guide plate 112 is located in front of the second end face (along the air supply direction). By setting the dimension D2 to be the same as D1, the second air guide plate 112 can be stably swung, interference is avoided, and the second air guide plate 112 can be swung 180 degrees.

[0082] In addition, dimension D1 can be set to be smaller than dimension D2, so as to avoid the problem of assembly failure due to production and assembly errors, and effectively avoid excessive noise generated between the air deflector and the step surface during the swinging process, thereby improving the stability of the air deflector swinging. The difference between dimension D1 and dimension D2 can be set to be greater than 1 mm, that is, dimension D1 minus dimension D2 is greater than 1 mm. The difference between dimension D1 and dimension D2 can also be set to be less than 1 mm. For example, the difference between dimension D1 and dimension D2 can also be set to 0.5 mm, 2 mm, 5 mm, 10 mm, etc. In addition, preferably, in order to facilitate the swinging of the air deflector and improve the wind guiding effect, the difference between dimension D1 and dimension D2 is set in the range of 1 mm to 3 mm in the present invention.

[0083] The air outlet of the present invention is provided with two air guide plates (a first air guide plate and a second air guide plate, and of course, more air guide plates can be provided), and a motion mechanism for driving the air guide plates to move is provided above and below the air guide plates; the air guide plate motion mechanism is a combination of two motion modes, one is a gear rack mechanism that drives the air guide plates to slide left and right, and the other is a motor direct-drive crank structure that drives the air guide plates to swing themselves, and the motor that drives the air guide plates to swing is installed on a rack that slides left and right, and the crank is connected to the air guide plates. Specifically, the activity forms of the first air guide plate include movement and swinging along its own axis, and the activity forms of the second air guide plate include movement and swinging along its own axis. Specifically, through the cooperation of the moving part 12B and the guide 13A, the first air guide plate can move between the first left extreme position and the first right extreme position, and the second air guide plate can move between the second left extreme position and the second right extreme position. Driven by the swinging part 12C, the first air guide plate can swing along its own axis, and the first air guide plate can swing along its own axis.

[0084] When the machine is turned on: the first air guide plate, driven by the swing motor, swings counterclockwise at a certain angle, while the second air guide plate swings clockwise at a certain angle, forming a frontal sweeping state. The sweeping state can sweep air from 0-180 degrees. The maximum air volume from the front is achieved when the air guide plates slide left and right to their maximum (the first air guide plate moves to the first left extreme position, and the second air guide plate moves to the second right extreme position). At the same time, the air guide plates swing to the target position, extending the air duct and allowing the wind to blow further. At the same time, the air can also be swept left and right in this state. In the partitioned air supply state, the air guide plates swing at a certain angle, and the rear air guide plate slides toward the center a certain distance, forming a partitioned air supply state. In addition, when the air guide plates slide to the sides a certain distance, an air outlet is added, realizing three-stream air supply, increasing the form of partitioned air supply, and also solving the problem of low air volume from the front. As described above, through the air guide plates and their mechanisms, multiple air supply forms such as 180-degree sweeping, partitioned air supply, and large-volume and ultra-long-distance air supply are achieved, providing good comfort and no air volume attenuation, thereby improving the user experience.

[0085] The following combination Figure 16 – Figure 24 A control method of an air conditioner according to the present invention is described.

[0086] like Figure 16 As shown, the air conditioner control method according to the embodiment of the present invention includes steps S1-S2.

[0087] Step S1: Obtaining wind guide instructions;

[0088] Step S2: controlling the activities of the first air guide plate and the second air guide plate according to the air guide instruction.

[0089] By setting the first air guide plate and the second air guide plate at the air outlet, based on the structure of an air outlet duct and the air outlet, the wind is guided out through the air outlet according to the wind guide instruction, and multiple air outlet modes can be achieved, the air outlet effect can be improved, and thus user satisfaction can be improved.

[0090] That is to say, according to the control method of the air conditioner according to the embodiment of the present invention, the activities of the first air guide plate and the second air guide plate are controlled by the air guide instruction. The combination of the first air guide plate and the second air guide plate can provide a variety of air outlet modes, which can meet different usage requirements, with simple control and good air outlet effect.

[0091] like Figure 17 As shown, according to some embodiments of the present invention, before step S1 of obtaining the wind guide instruction, the method further includes:

[0092] Step S0: Obtain the operating mode of the air conditioner.

[0093] That is, after the air conditioner is turned on, the user can input an operating mode command for the air conditioner, where the operating mode can be cooling mode, heating mode, air supply mode, dehumidification mode, etc., and the air conditioner will then operate according to the mode input by the user. The air conditioner may have a memory function, and if the operating mode command input by the user is not received, it will operate according to the previous operating mode, thereby reducing the complexity of user operations and improving intelligence and convenience.

[0094] like Figure 4-Figure 6 as well as Figure 18 As shown, according to some embodiments of the present invention, the control method of the air conditioner in the embodiment of the present invention includes steps S10-S12.

[0095] Step S10: obtaining the operating mode of the air conditioner;

[0096] Step S11: obtaining a first wind guide instruction;

[0097] Step S12: controlling the first air guide plate to swing within a first preset angle range, and the second air guide plate to swing within a first preset angle range, wherein the first preset angle range is 0-180°.

[0098] The first wind guide instruction here can be an instruction for uniform air sweeping, that is, to achieve uniform air supply in the room, the first wind guide plate and the second wind guide plate swing evenly within the first preset angle range. It can be understood that the first wind guide plate and the second wind guide plate can rotate in the same direction, thereby avoiding the mutual interference between the two wind guide plates, and increasing the air supply volume in all directions during the air supply process, thereby improving the uniformity of the air supply.

[0099] like Figure 11 and Figure 19 As shown, according to some embodiments of the present invention, the control method of the air conditioner in the embodiment of the present invention includes steps S20-S22.

[0100] Step S20: obtaining the operating mode of the air conditioner;

[0101] Step S21: obtaining a second wind guide instruction;

[0102] Step S22: controlling the first air guide plate to swing counterclockwise by a second preset angle, and the second air guide plate to swing clockwise by a second preset angle, and the first air guide plate moves to the first preset position, and the second air guide plate moves to the second preset position.

[0103] By moving the first air guide plate to the first preset position and the second air guide plate to the second preset position, the first air guide plate and the second air guide plate can be arranged adjacent to each other. Adjacent arrangement here can be understood as the inner side of the first air guide plate abutting against the inner side of the second air guide plate, thereby defining an air outlet area between the first air guide plate and the left side of the air outlet, and between the second air guide plate and the right side of the air outlet, and blowing air in two streams, thereby increasing the air volume in the two air outlet areas.

[0104] The second air guide instruction here can be an instruction for zoned air supply. Even if air is supplied to the indoor zone, the wind is blown out from the air outlet areas on both sides of the first air guide plate and the second air guide plate, and will not be blown out from between the first air guide plate and the second air guide plate, thereby achieving the effect of supplying air to the target area.

[0105] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the air conditioner control method of the embodiment of the present invention further includes steps S23-S24.

[0106] Step S23: Detecting the user's location;

[0107] Step S24: According to the user's position, the first air guide plate and the second air guide plate are controlled to move so as to supply air toward the user's position.

[0108] In other words, the air conditioner is further provided with a user detection device that can detect the user's location information. Based on the detected user location information, the air guide plate is controlled to rotate to an area where the user can blow air, thereby achieving air blowing for the user. Here, the first air guide plate and the second air guide plate can move in various forms. The first air guide plate can move or swing, and similarly, the second air guide plate can move or swing.

[0109] It can be understood that based on the two air outlet areas formed by the second air guide instruction, after detecting the user's location information, either of the two air outlet areas is directed toward the user's location, thereby meeting the user's blowing needs. When there are multiple users, and the users are located in two different location areas, the first and second air guide plates can be controlled to move so that the air outlet areas are directed toward the two location areas to meet the user's blowing needs.

[0110] like Figure 10 and Figure 20 As shown, according to some embodiments of the present invention, the control method of the air conditioner in the embodiment of the present invention includes steps S30-S32.

[0111] Step S30: obtaining the operating mode of the air conditioner;

[0112] Step S31: obtaining a third wind guide instruction;

[0113] Step S32: Control the first air guide plate to swing counterclockwise by a third preset angle, and the second air guide plate to swing clockwise by a third preset angle, and the first air guide plate moves to the third preset position, and the second air guide plate moves to the fourth preset position.

[0114] Among them, the first air guide plate moves to the third preset position, and the second air guide plate moves to the fourth preset position. The third preset position here is different from the first preset position, and the fourth preset position is different from the second preset position. Here, the first air guide plate and the second air guide plate can be arranged at intervals. The interval arrangement can be understood as the inner side of the first air guide plate not abutting the inner side of the second air guide plate, and the outer side of the first air guide plate not abutting the outer side of the second air guide plate, thereby defining the air outlet area between the first air guide plate and the left side of the air outlet, between the second air guide plate and the right side of the air outlet, and between the first air guide plate and the second air guide plate, and blowing air through the three air outlet areas in the form of three streams.

[0115] The third wind guide instruction here can be an instruction for the comfort of the whole house. Even if the room has a comfortable air supply state, the wind blows out from three air outlet areas to achieve air supply to multiple locations and meet the comfort needs of multiple locations.

[0116] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the air conditioner control method of the embodiment of the present invention further includes steps S33-S34.

[0117] Step S33: Detecting the user's location;

[0118] Step S34: Control the first air guide plate and the second air guide plate to swing according to the user's position.

[0119] That is to say, the air conditioner is also provided with a user detection device, which can detect the user's location information. Detecting the user's location includes detecting whether there are many users in each location area, that is, whether there is a location area with many users. If it is detected that there is a location area with many users, the air guide plate is controlled to swing to the location area with many users to achieve blowing for more users and improve the user's comfort; if it is detected that there is no obvious difference in the number of users in each location area, that is, there is no location area with many users, there is no need to swing.

[0120] like Figure 3 and Figure 21 As shown, according to some embodiments of the present invention, the control method of the air conditioner in the embodiment of the present invention includes steps S40-S44.

[0121] Step S40: obtaining the operating mode of the air conditioner;

[0122] Step S41: obtaining a fourth wind guide instruction;

[0123] Step S42: controlling the first air deflector and the second air deflector to move to the off position;

[0124] Step S43: Acquire indoor temperature and supply air temperature;

[0125] Step S44: Control the changes in the air supply speed and the compressor frequency.

[0126] The fourth wind guide instruction here can be an instruction for the wind to avoid people. By moving the first wind guide plate and the second wind guide plate to the off position, the wind can avoid the user, and on the basis of supplying air, avoid direct blowing to the user; the off position here is a part of the air outlet closed by the first wind guide plate and the second wind guide plate. It can be understood that in the left and right directions, the width dimension of the first wind guide plate and the second wind guide plate is smaller than the width dimension of the air outlet. When the air conditioner is turned off, the first wind guide plate and the second wind guide plate can close the middle part of the air outlet, thereby forming an air outlet area on both sides of the air outlet when blowing air, that is, the air outlet area is defined between the first air guide plate and the left side of the air outlet, and between the second air guide plate and the right side of the air outlet, so that the wind is discharged toward the opposite sides to avoid the wind blowing towards the user.

[0127] It can be understood that the air conditioner has a temperature detection device. When obtaining the indoor temperature and the supply air temperature, the acquisition method here can be automatically detected by the temperature detection device. Specifically, by detecting the indoor temperature and the supply air temperature, the absolute value of the difference between the indoor temperature and the supply air temperature is calculated: when the absolute value of the difference is less than or equal to the first preset difference, the fan speed and the compressor frequency are controlled to be reduced; when the absolute value of the difference is greater than the first preset difference, the fan speed and the compressor frequency are increased. Therefore, when the difference between the indoor temperature and the target supply air temperature is relatively large, the indoor temperature change speed is increased by increasing the fan speed and the compressor frequency. When the difference between the indoor temperature and the target supply air temperature is relatively small, the fan speed and the compressor frequency are reduced. On the basis of ensuring that the target temperature and comfort can be achieved, energy consumption is reduced, energy saving effect is achieved, and user satisfaction is improved.

[0128] like Figure 9 and Figure 22 As shown, according to some embodiments of the present invention, the control method of the air conditioner in the embodiment of the present invention includes steps S50-S52.

[0129] Step S50: obtaining the operating mode of the air conditioner;

[0130] Step S51: obtaining a fifth wind guide instruction;

[0131] Step S52: Control the first air guide plate to swing counterclockwise by a fourth preset angle, and the second air guide plate to swing clockwise by a fourth preset angle, and the first air guide plate moves to a first left limit position, and the second air guide plate moves to a second right limit position.

[0132] The fifth wind guide instruction here can be long-distance air supply, that is, supplying air to a longer distance, such as Figure 9 As shown, through the cooperation of the moving part 12B and the guide member 13A, the first air guide plate moves to the first left extreme position, and the second air guide member moves to the second right extreme position, so that the wind can be gathered between the first air guide plate and the second air guide plate. The first air guide plate and the second air guide plate are equivalent to extending the air outlet duct, thereby achieving the effect of long-distance air supply.

[0133] like Figure 7 and Figure 22 As shown, according to some embodiments of the present invention, after obtaining the fifth wind guide instruction, steps S53 and S54 are also included.

[0134] Step S53: obtaining a first direction wind guide instruction;

[0135] Step S54: controlling the first air guide plate and the second air guide plate to swing in the first direction.

[0136] The first direction air guide command here can be for ultra-long-distance air supply to the left, that is, long-distance air supply to the left. By controlling the first and second air guide plates to swing to the left, the wind direction can be concentrated at the position deviating from the left side. The first and second air guide plates are equivalent to extending the air outlet duct to the left, thereby achieving the effect of long-distance air supply to the left. In addition, on the basis of ensuring that the second air guide plate is tilted to the left to supply air, the second air guide plate can also be moved to the first left extreme position to concentrate the air volume on the left side, improving the air supply effect.

[0137] like Figure 22 As shown, according to some embodiments of the present invention, after obtaining the fifth wind guide instruction, steps S55 and S56 are also included.

[0138] Step S55: obtaining a second direction wind guide instruction;

[0139] Step S56: Control the first air guide plate and the second air guide plate to swing in the second direction.

[0140] The second direction air guide command here can be for ultra-long-distance air delivery to the right, that is, long-distance air delivery to the right. By controlling the first and second air guide plates to swing to the right, the wind direction is concentrated at the position where it deviates to the right. The first and second air guide plates are equivalent to extending the air outlet duct to the right, thereby achieving the effect of long-distance air delivery to the right. In addition, on the basis of ensuring that the first air guide plate is tilted to the right to deliver air, the first air guide plate can also be moved to the first right extreme position to concentrate the air volume on the right side, improving the air delivery effect.

[0141] like Figure 22As shown, according to some embodiments of the present invention, after obtaining the fifth wind guide instruction, steps S57 and S58 are also included.

[0142] Step S57: obtaining the seventh wind guide instruction;

[0143] Step S58: controlling the first air guide plate to swing within a fifth preset angle range, and controlling the second air guide plate to swing within a fifth preset angle range.

[0144] The seventh wind guide instruction here can be long-distance air sweeping, that is, on the basis of long-distance air supply, long-distance uniform air supply is achieved, and the first air guide plate and the second air guide plate swing evenly within the fifth preset angle range. The fifth preset angle here can be 0-180°, or 0-120°, 0-90°, etc. The maximum value here is any value between 0°-180°. Through the swing of the air guide plate, the air supply volume in all directions during the air supply process is increased, and the uniformity of the air supply is improved.

[0145] It can be understood that the seventh wind guide instruction can be obtained based on the fifth wind guide instruction, the first direction wind guide instruction, or the second direction wind guide instruction, that is, long-distance wind sweeping can be performed on the basis of long-distance air supply to improve the uniformity of long-distance air supply; long-distance wind sweeping can be performed on the basis of ultra-long-distance air supply on the left side to improve the uniformity of long-distance air supply on the left side; long-distance wind sweeping can also be performed on the basis of ultra-long-distance air supply on the right side to improve the uniformity of long-distance air supply on the right side.

[0146] like Figure 11 and Figure 23 As shown, according to some embodiments of the present invention, the control method of the air conditioner in the embodiment of the present invention includes steps S60-S65.

[0147] Step S60: obtaining the operating mode of the air conditioner;

[0148] Step S61: obtaining a sixth wind guide instruction;

[0149] Step S62: Detecting the user's height;

[0150] Step S63: When the user's height is less than or equal to the preset height, detecting the user's position;

[0151] Step S64: controlling the first air guide plate and the second air guide plate to move according to the user's position so as to supply air away from the user's position;

[0152] Step S65: Control the fan speed and the compressor frequency to decrease to a second preset value.

[0153] When controlling the movement of the first air deflector and the second air deflector, the first air deflector can be controlled to swing counterclockwise by a second preset angle, and the second air deflector can be controlled to swing clockwise by a second preset angle, and the first air deflector moves to the first preset position, and the second air deflector moves to the second preset position, and the first air deflector and the second air deflector are arranged adjacent to each other. The adjacent arrangement here can be understood as the inner side of the first air deflector abutting the inner side of the second air deflector, thereby defining an air outlet area between the first air deflector and the left side of the air outlet, and between the second air deflector and the right side of the air outlet, and blowing air in the form of two streams. Thus, according to the position of the user, the air outlet area is directed away from the user to prevent the wind from blowing directly towards the user.

[0154] The sixth air guide instruction here can be an instruction for preventing children from getting cold wind. When the child cold wind prevention instruction is obtained, if it is detected that the user's height is less than or equal to the preset height, the first air guide plate and the second air guide plate can be controlled to blow the air away from the user's position, preventing the wind from blowing directly towards the child, thereby achieving the effect of preventing cold wind. It is understandable that if the user's height is not less than or equal to the preset height, the step of detecting the user's position is not required. That is, when the user's height is greater than the preset height, the default air supply mode can be directly entered. The preset height here can be fixed by the air conditioner system or set by the user, which is more convenient and feasible, and improves user satisfaction.

[0155] In addition, by controlling the fan speed and compressor frequency to be lower than the corresponding second preset values, children can be prevented from being blown by strong cold wind. At the same time, energy consumption can be reduced, energy saving can be achieved, and user satisfaction can be further improved.

[0156] like Figure 24 As shown, according to some embodiments of the present invention, the air conditioner control method of the embodiment of the present invention further includes steps S71-S72.

[0157] Step S71: When no air guide instruction is obtained, the default air supply state is entered;

[0158] Step S72: Control the first air guide plate to swing counterclockwise by a sixth preset angle, and control the second air guide plate to swing clockwise by a sixth preset angle.

[0159] The failure to obtain the air guide instruction here can be based on the completion of the air conditioner startup action, or based on the acquisition of the air conditioner's operating mode. On this basis, the default air supply state is entered, and the first air guide plate and the second air guide plate are swung by a sixth preset angle to a front-to-front direction. The two air guide plates extend forward, and the wind can be blown forward to achieve the effect of frontal wind outlet. It is understandable that there are wind outlet areas formed between the first air guide plate and the left side of the air outlet, between the second air guide plate and the right side of the air outlet, and between the first air guide plate and the second air guide plate. However, based on the forward extension of the first air guide plate and the second air guide plate, the wind can basically merge into one stream and blow toward the front of the air conditioner to achieve the effect of frontal wind outlet.

[0160] It can be understood that in the above-mentioned multiple control steps, in the process of controlling the swing of the air guide plate, the user can control the air guide plate to pause swinging through other buttons, that is, control the air guide plate to stop rotating in a certain direction, or control the air guide plate to start swinging when the air guide plate stops, so as to meet the needs of more users.

[0161] Other structures and operations of the control method of the air conditioner according to the embodiment of the present invention are well known to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here.
