[0047] The embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below. The examples of the embodiments are shown in the drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below by referring to the drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention and should not be construed as a limitation to the present invention.
[0048] The air deflector assembly 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
[0049] As Figures 1 - 22 shown, the air conditioner indoor unit 2 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a housing 21, an air outlet 22 is provided on the housing 21, the air deflector assembly 1 is movably provided at the air outlet 22, and the air deflector assembly 1 includes a plurality of air deflectors 100, and the plurality of air deflectors 100 include a first air deflector 110 and a second air deflector 120.
[0050] In some embodiments of the present invention, a first magnetic attraction member 130 is provided on the side wall of the first air deflector 110 facing the second air deflector 120, a second magnetic attraction member 140 is provided on the side wall of the second air deflector 120 facing the first air deflector 110, at least one of the first magnetic attraction member 130 and the second magnetic attraction member 140 is an electromagnet 131, the electromagnet 131 is wound with a coil 150, and the coil 150 is energized to generate a magnetic field. The first magnetic attraction member 130 and the second magnetic attraction member 140 are arranged opposite to each other, which is convenient for affecting the connection state of the first air deflector 110 and the second air deflector 120, and the connection situation between the first air deflector 110 and the second air deflector 120 can be changed by changing the state of the first magnetic attraction member 130 and / or the second magnetic attraction member 140.
[0051] Among them, the air guiding assembly 1 has a combined state and a separated state. In the combined state, the first magnetic attracting member 130 and the second magnetic attracting member 140 attract each other, the first air guiding plate 110 and the second air guiding plate 120 are in contact, and the air guiding assembly 1 is adapted to define a first air outlet passage 200 between at least one side of the air outlet 22. The attraction between the first magnetic attracting member 130 and the second magnetic attracting member 140 can realize the closed connection of the first air guiding plate 110 and the second air guiding plate 120, avoid the appearance of gaps at the connection of the first air guiding plate 110 and the second air guiding plate 120, which affects the aesthetics of the air conditioner indoor unit 2 during air guiding, and avoid air leakage from the gap at the connection of the first air guiding plate 110 and the second air guiding plate 120 during air guiding of the air conditioner indoor unit 2, which affects the air volume of the first air outlet passage 200 and the air supply distance of the air conditioner indoor unit 2.
[0052] In addition, in the separated state, the first air guiding plate 110 and the second air guiding plate 120 are spaced apart to define a second air outlet passage 300 and the first magnetic attracting member 130 and the second magnetic attracting member 140 repel each other. The repulsive force between the first magnetic attracting member 130 and the second magnetic attracting member 140 causes the first air guiding plate 110 and the second air guiding plate 120 to change from the connected state to the spaced state, and makes the first air guiding plate 110 and the second air guiding plate 120 move in opposite directions until the repulsive force between the first magnetic attracting member 130 and the second magnetic attracting member 140 is not sufficient to make the first air guiding plate 110 and the second air guiding plate 120 continue to move in opposite directions. At this time, there is a certain distance between the first air guiding plate 110 and the second air guiding plate 120. In this way, a certain distance can be maintained between the first air guiding plate 110 and the second air guiding plate 120 to form a second air outlet passage 300, realizing multi-directional air guiding. It is convenient for the air conditioner indoor unit 2 to supply air from the second air outlet passage 300 during air guiding.
[0053] Specifically, a coil 150 is wound around the first magnetic attracting member 130 and / or the second magnetic attracting member 140. By changing the current direction in the coil 150, the polarity of the first magnetic attracting member 130 and / or the second magnetic attracting member 140 can be changed, so that there is an attractive force or a repulsive force between the first air guiding plate 110 and the second air guiding plate 120, so as to change the connection state between the first air guiding plate 110 and the second air guiding plate 120.
[0054] In some examples, such as Figure 4As shown, when the polarities of the first magnetic member 130 and the second magnetic member 140 facing each other are opposite, at this time, the first magnetic member 130 and the second magnetic member 140 have mutual attraction, and the first air guide plate 110 and the second air guide plate 120 can be connected together. At this time, the first air guide plate 110 and the second air guide plate 120 can have two first air outlet channels 200. These two first air outlet channels 200 are distributed on the left and right sides of the first air guide plate 110 and the second air guide plate 120. The air blown out from the casing 21 is guided by the first air guide plate 110 and the second air guide plate 120 to the first air outlet channels 200 on both sides to send air to the outside (the left and right directions are as Figure 15 shown).
[0055] In some other examples, as Figure 14 shown, when the polarities of the first magnetic member 130 and the second magnetic member 140 facing each other are the same, at this time, the first magnetic member 130 and the second magnetic member 140 have mutual repulsion, which can drive the first air guide plate 110 and the second air guide plate 120 to move in opposite directions, so that there is a certain distance between the first air guide plate 110 and the second air guide plate 120. At this time, the distance between the first air guide plate 110 and the second air guide plate 120 forms a second air outlet channel 300. At this time, the air conditioner indoor unit 2 can have two first air outlet channels 200 and one second air outlet channel 300. These two first air outlet channels 200 are distributed on the left and right sides of the air conditioner indoor unit 2, and the second air outlet channel 300 is distributed in the middle of the air conditioner indoor unit 2. The air conditioner indoor unit 2 can send air to the outside from the first air outlet channels 200 on both sides and the second air outlet channel 300 formed by the first air guide plate 110 and the second air guide plate 120.
[0056] It should be understood here that the energization direction of the coil 150 on the first magnetic member 130 and the second magnetic member 140 can be changed. That is to say, when the first magnetic member 130 and the second magnetic member 140 have mutual attraction, the first air guide plate 110 and the second air guide plate 120 are in a connected state, and the first air outlet channel 200 is formed on the air conditioner indoor unit 2. When the energization direction of the coil 150 is changed, the first magnetic member 130 and the second magnetic member 140 have mutual repulsion, so that the first air guide plate 110 and the second air guide plate 120 can move in opposite directions, so that there is a certain distance between the first air guide plate 110 and the second air guide plate 120, and the second air outlet channel 300 is formed on the air conditioner indoor unit 2.
[0057] In some examples of the related art, when the air conditioner indoor unit conducts air guiding, when the first air guiding plate and the second air guiding plate are attached and connected, the air conditioner indoor unit can achieve double-flow air guiding. When there is a certain distance between the first air guiding plate and the second air guiding plate, triple-flow air guiding can be achieved. Double-flow air guiding means that the air conditioner indoor unit can blow air from the first air outlet channels on the left and right sides. Triple-flow air guiding means that the air conditioner indoor unit can blow air from the first air outlet channels on the left and right sides and the second air outlet channel in the middle. When the air conditioner indoor unit conducts double-flow air guiding, the first air guiding plate and the second air guiding plate need to be returned to the zero positions on the left and right sides first, and then combined and connected together to swing left and right. When switching from double-flow air guiding to triple-flow air guiding, it is necessary to control the first air guiding plate and the second air guiding plate to move to the zero positions on both sides again, and then return to a certain distance between the first air guiding plate and the second air guiding plate. By this way of switching the connection state of the first air guiding plate and the second air guiding plate, the time is too long, and the startup experience effect is not very good. By changing the energization direction of the coil 150, the connection state of the first air guiding plate 110 and the second air guiding plate 120 can be conveniently changed. When the air guiding mode of the air conditioner indoor unit 2 is switched between double-flow air guiding and triple-flow air guiding, the time for the first air guiding plate 110 and the second air guiding plate 120 to need to reset to the zero position can be effectively avoided. And by controlling the polarity of the electromagnet 131 through the coil 150, the connection state of the first air guiding plate 110 and the second air guiding plate 120 is controlled, which is convenient for the air conditioner indoor unit 2 to switch without interval between double-flow air guiding and triple-flow air guiding. By adopting this method, the air guiding of the air conditioner indoor unit 2 has better coherence and better user experience.
[0058] Therefore, the air guiding assembly 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention has the advantages that the left and right air guiding plates 100 can be tightly attached together and move left and right without a middle gap when in double-flow air guiding, avoiding air leakage in the middle and making the air conditioner more beautiful when working.
[0059] Next, the air guiding assembly 1 according to specific embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0060] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, as Figures 1 - 22 shown, the air conditioner indoor unit 2 according to the embodiment of the present invention includes a housing 21, an air outlet 22 is provided on the housing 21, the air guiding assembly 1 is movably provided at the air outlet 22, the air guiding assembly 1 includes a plurality of air guiding plates 100, and the plurality of air guiding plates 100 include a first air guiding plate 110 and a second air guiding plate 120.
[0061] In some embodiments of the present invention, the air guide plate 100 provided with the electromagnet 131 includes a main body 111 and a sealing cover 170. An accommodating groove 112 is provided on the inner wall of the main body 111. The inner side of the accommodating groove 112 is open. The electromagnet 131 is arranged in the accommodating groove 112. The sealing cover 170 seals the inner side of the accommodating groove 112. Both ends of the coil 150 extend out of the accommodating groove 112 to energize the coil 150. The electromagnet 131 is placed in the accommodating groove 112, and the sealing cover 170 can seal the accommodating groove 112. Such a setting facilitates providing a relatively enclosed space for the electromagnet 131 to improve the working stability of the electromagnet 131.
[0062] For example, a plurality of electromagnets 131 are provided on each of the first air guide plate 110 and the second air guide plate 120. The electromagnets 131 on the first air guide plate 110 are arranged at intervals in the accommodating groove 112 in the up and down direction (the up and down direction is as Figure 15 shown). The coils 150 corresponding to the plurality of electromagnets 131 on the first air guide plate 110 are arranged in series. The winding manner of the coil 150 around each electromagnet 131 is the same, so that the magnetic poles generated by the plurality of electromagnets 131 on the first air guide plate 110 are the same. The electromagnets 131 on the second air guide plate 120 are arranged at intervals in the accommodating groove 112 in the up and down direction. The coils 150 corresponding to the plurality of electromagnets 131 on the second air guide plate 120 are arranged in series. The winding manner of the coil 150 around each electromagnet 131 is the same, so that the magnetic poles generated by the plurality of electromagnets 131 on the second air guide plate 120 are the same. The electromagnets 131 on the first air guide plate 110 and the second air guide plate 120 are arranged in one-to-one correspondence, which is convenient for the connection between the first air guide plate 110 and the second air guide plate 120. Each of the first air guide plate 110 and the second air guide plate 120 is provided with a plurality of electromagnets 131, which is convenient for increasing the connection stability between the first air guide plate 110 and the second air guide plate 120.
[0063] In some alternative embodiments of the present invention, an annular protruding portion 160 is provided on the inner wall of the main body 111. The protruding portion 160 defines the accommodating groove 112, and the sealing cover 170 cooperates with the protruding portion 160. That is to say, the accommodating groove 112 is composed of the inner wall of the main body 111 and the protruding portion 160. The setting of the protruding portion 160 can improve the structural strength of the air guide plate. The sealing cover 170 cooperates with the protruding portion 160, which is convenient for the sealing cover 170 to seal the accommodating groove 112.
[0064] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, a supporting protrusion 1121 is provided in the accommodating groove 112. Both ends of the electromagnet 131 are supported on the protruding portion 160 and the supporting protrusion 1121. This facilitates fixing the electromagnet 131 in the accommodating groove 112, preventing the electromagnet 131 from moving randomly in the accommodating groove 112 and causing damage to the electromagnet 131, so as to ensure the normal operation of the electromagnet 131.
[0065] For example, when a plurality of electromagnets 131 are arranged at intervals in the vertical direction in the containing groove 112, a plurality of supporting protrusions 1121 are arranged at intervals in the vertical direction in the containing groove 112, and a plurality of grooves matching with the electromagnets 131 are arranged on the protrusion part 160 in the vertical direction. One end of each electromagnet 131 is supported on a supporting protrusion 1121, and the other end is supported on the groove of the protrusion part 160. By arranging the supporting protrusions 1121 and the grooves, it is convenient to arrange a plurality of electromagnets 131 at intervals in the vertical direction in the containing groove 112 and fix the electromagnets 131 in the containing groove 112 to ensure the normal operation of the electromagnets 131, so that the first air guide plate 110 and the second air guide plate 120 are in a stable connection or separation state, and the working stability of the air guide assembly 1 in the combined state or the separated state is improved.
[0066] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the coil 150 is arranged at an interval from the main body 111. That is to say, there is a certain distance between the coil 150 and the main body 111, which is convenient for reducing the heat conduction from the coil 150 to the main body 111 when the coil 150 is energized and working, and is convenient for the coil 150 to dissipate heat.
[0067] For example, as Figure 20 shown, one end of the coil 150 is supported on the rear end face of the protrusion part 160, and the other end is supported on the rear end face of the supporting protrusion 1121. The coil 150 and the main body 111 are arranged at an interval in the front-rear direction (the front-rear direction is as Figure 15 shown. It should be understood here that the above direction definition is only for facilitating the description of the drawings and will not limit the actual installation position and direction of the air guide assembly 1). There is a certain distance between the rear end face of the protrusion part 160 for supporting the coil 150 and the main body 111, and there is a certain distance between the rear end face of the supporting protrusion 1121 for supporting the coil 150 and the main body 111. Therefore, both ends of the coil 150 are fixed to the rear end of the main body 111 through the protrusion part 160 and the supporting protrusion 1121, and there is a certain interval between the coil 150 and the main body 111 in the front-rear direction, and the coil 150 does not contact the main body 111. When the coil 150 is energized, it will generate heat. Such an arrangement is convenient for reducing the shielding of the coil 150, facilitating the heat dissipation of the coil 150, improving the working safety of the coil 150, and improving the working stability of the electromagnet.
[0068] In some embodiments of the present invention, a first buckle part 161 extending towards the sealing cover 170 is arranged on the protrusion part 160, and a second buckle part 171 is arranged on the outer side wall of the sealing cover 170. The first buckle part 161 and the second buckle part 171 are in buckle cooperation. The sealing cover 170 can be fixedly connected to the protrusion part 160 through the cooperation of the first buckle part 161 and the second buckle part 171 to seal the containing groove 112.
[0069] Specifically, as Figure 19 shown, a plurality of first snap portions 161 are provided on the convex portion 160. The first snap portions 161 are arranged at intervals in the up and down direction, and the length of the first snap portions 161 extends backward in the front and back direction. The sealing cover 170 is provided with a plurality of second snap portions 171. The second snap portions 171 are arranged at intervals in the up and down direction, and the length of the second snap portions 171 extends forward in the front and back direction. The first snap portions 161 provided on the convex portion 160 correspond to the second snap portions 171 provided on the sealing cover 170 one by one, so that the sealing cover 170 can be connected and cooperated with the convex portion 160 to seal the containing groove 112, provide a relatively enclosed working space for the electromagnet 131, and ensure the stable operation of the electromagnet 131. In addition, by providing a plurality of first snap portions 161 on the convex portion 160 and a plurality of second snap portions 171 on the sealing cover 170, the stability of the connection and fixation between the sealing cover 170 and the convex portion 160 can be improved.
[0070] In some embodiments of the present invention, the air deflector 100 further includes an inner cover plate 180. The inner cover plate 180 is provided inside the main body 111, and the sealing cover 170 is located between the inner cover plate 180 and the main body 111. The inner cover plate 180 is connected and cooperated with the main body 111, and the connection and cooperation between the inner cover plate 180 and the main body 111 can relatively seal the sealing cover 170 and the containing groove 112 to protect the containing groove 112 and the sealing cover 170.

[0072] In some embodiments of the present invention, the air guiding assembly 1 of the air conditioner indoor unit 2 further includes an elastic contact piece 400 and a fixed contact piece 500. Both ends of the coil 150 are connected to the elastic contact piece 400. The elastic contact piece 400 is provided on the air guiding assembly 1. The fixed contact piece 500 is used for electrification and is suitable for being fixed on the casing 21. The elastic contact piece 400 is in sliding contact with the fixed contact piece 500 to draw electricity to provide current for the coil 150, so that the coil 150 can generate a magnetic field and form magnetic poles for the first magnetic attracting member 130 and / or the second magnetic attracting member 140.
[0073] Specifically, the fixed contact piece 500 is fixed on the housing 21, and the length direction of the fixed contact piece 500 extends along the left-right direction. Each air deflector 100 is provided with two elastic contact pieces 400. The elastic contact pieces 400 are fixed on the air deflector 100, and the length direction of the elastic contact pieces 400 extends along the up-down direction. Each end of the two ends of the coil 150 is connected to an elastic contact piece 400. Each elastic contact piece 400 can be in sliding contact with the fixed contact piece 500. One of the two elastic contact pieces 400 is connected to the fixed contact piece 500 at the positive pole, and the other is connected to the fixed contact piece 500 at the negative pole to form a circuit in the coil 150. By energizing the coil 150 to generate a magnetic field, the first magnetic attracting member 130 and / or the second magnetic attracting member 140 form magnetic poles, so that the first air deflector 110 and the second air deflector 120 are in contact with each other or there is a certain distance between the first air deflector 110 and the second air deflector 120, so as to realize the combined state or the separated state of the air guiding assembly 1.
[0074] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, there are multiple fixed contact pieces 500. The multiple fixed contact pieces 500 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the air deflector 100. Each elastic contact piece 400 is in contact with at least two fixed contact pieces 500. It is convenient to change the current flow direction of the elastic contact piece 400 obtaining current from the fixed contact piece 500, so that the coil 150 generates different magnetic fields to change the magnetic poles formed by the first magnetic attracting member 130 and the second magnetic attracting member 140.
[0075] In some examples, the first magnetic attracting member 130 is an electromagnet 131. The side of the second magnetic attracting member 140 facing the first air deflector 110 has an N pole. The two ends of the coil 150 wound around the first magnetic attracting member 130 are respectively connected to the first elastic contact piece 410 and the second elastic contact piece 420. The first elastic contact piece 410 is in sliding contact with the first fixed contact piece 510 and the second fixed contact piece 520. The second elastic contact piece 420 is in sliding contact with the third fixed contact piece 530 and the fourth fixed contact piece 540. Among them, the first fixed contact piece 510 and the third fixed contact piece 530 are positive poles, and the second fixed contact piece 520 and the fourth fixed contact piece 540 are negative poles. When the first fixed contact piece 510 and the fourth fixed contact piece 540 are conductive, the current direction in the coil 150 is from the first elastic contact piece 410 to the second elastic contact piece 420. At this time, the magnetic field generated by the coil 150 is an S magnetic field. At this time, the side of the first magnetic attracting member 130 facing the second air deflector 120 forms an S pole. The sides of the first magnetic attracting member 130 and the second magnetic attracting member 140 facing each other have different magnetic poles. At this time, there is an attractive force between the first air deflector 110 and the second air deflector 120, and the air guiding assembly 1 is in a combined state, and a first air outlet channel 200 can be formed at the air outlet 22 of the air conditioner indoor unit 2. The air conditioner indoor unit 2 can guide air in a double-flow air guiding state.
[0076] When it is necessary to switch the air guiding state of the air conditioner indoor unit 2, the conductive states of the first fixed contact piece 510 and the fourth fixed contact piece 540, and the third fixed contact piece 530 and the second fixed contact piece 520 can be switched. The first fixed contact piece 510 and the fourth fixed contact piece 540 that originally conducted current are switched to a non-conductive current state, and the third fixed contact piece 530 and the second fixed contact piece 520 that were originally non-conductive are switched to a conductive current state. At this time, the current direction in the coil 150 is from the second elastic contact piece 420 to the first elastic contact piece 410. At this time, the side of the first magnetic attraction member 130 facing the second air guiding plate 120 forms an N pole, and the sides of the first magnetic attraction member 130 and the second magnetic attraction member 140 facing each other have the same magnetic poles. At this time, there is a repulsive force between the first air guiding plate 110 and the second air guiding plate 120, and the air guiding assembly 1 is in a split state, and a second air outlet channel 300 can be formed at the air outlet 22 of the air conditioner indoor unit 2. The air conditioner indoor unit 2 can guide air in a three-stream air guiding state.
[0077] That is to say, by changing the power supply state on the fixed contact piece 500 in contact with the elastic contact piece 400, the current direction in the coil 150 can be changed to change the magnetic field generated by the coil 150, change the magnetic poles of the first magnetic attraction member 130 and / or the second magnetic attraction member 140, so that the connection state between the first air guiding plate 110 and the second air guiding plate 120 can be switched between mutual contact and mutual repulsion, so as to realize that the air guiding assembly 1 can be switched between a combined state and a split state, which is convenient for the air conditioner indoor unit 2 to be able to switch between two-stream air guiding and three-stream air guiding, and is convenient for the user to conveniently switch the air guiding mode of the air conditioner indoor unit 2 when using the air conditioner indoor unit 2.
