Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of air conditioning, and in particular to an air conditioning air guide device and an air conditioning air guide plate control method. Background Art

[0002] Air deflectors are installed at the air outlet of the indoor unit of the air conditioner. Generally, the air deflectors are plate-shaped injection molded parts, and their movement can be controlled by a gear rack transmission mechanism or a hinge rod transmission mechanism.

[0003] For example, in some air-conditioning products, the air guide plate is controlled to slide by a gear rack transmission mechanism. In this case, the air guide plate is generally fixed to the rack member, and the rack member can be arc-shaped or straight-line. If the rack member is arc-shaped, the air guide plate is controlled to slide along an arc-shaped trajectory so that the air guide plate cooperates with the air outlet opened at the arc-shaped shell; if the rack member is straight-line, the air guide plate is controlled to slide along a straight-line trajectory so that the air guide plate cooperates with the air outlet opened at the flat shell. When the gear drives the rack member to move forward, the air guide plate gradually moves to the position where the air outlet of the air conditioner indoor unit is located, thereby keeping the air outlet closed and preventing external dust / flying insects / debris from contaminating the interior of the air conditioner; when the gear drives the rack member to move in the reverse direction, the air guide plate is controlled to leave the position where the air outlet is located and retract to a position that coincides with the air conditioner shell, so that the air outlet is in an open state, realizing air outlet of the air conditioner.

[0004] For example, in some air conditioners, a hinged lever mechanism controls the flipping of the air deflector. The upper inner portion of the air deflector is hinged to a central axis of rotation, while the lower portion is hinged to the control end of the hinged lever mechanism. The drive end of the hinged lever mechanism is connected to a motor. When the motor drives the hinged lever mechanism, the air deflector is controlled to flip around the central axis of rotation. Forward flipping opens the air outlet, while reverse flipping closes it. By adjusting the flip angle of the air deflector, the air outlet direction of the indoor unit of the air conditioner can be adjusted.

[0005] During the air conditioning cooling process, the temperature of the air outlet of the air conditioner is quite different from the indoor temperature, and water droplets are likely to gather (condensation) at the air outlet. When there are too many water droplets, they will drip and fall on the floor, furniture, home appliances, and walls, which are difficult to clean and easily cause damage to the accumulated water. Moreover, when water droplets at the air outlet of the air conditioner fall on people, it will lead to a bad user experience.

[0006] Therefore, how to prevent condensation from dripping at the air outlet of the air conditioner is a technical problem that needs to be solved urgently by those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention

[0044] The present invention discloses an air guide device for an air conditioner and a method for controlling an air guide plate for an air conditioner, which can effectively solve the problem of condensation dripping at an air outlet of the air conditioner.

[0045] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0046] See also Figures 1 to 9 The air-conditioning air guide device provided by the embodiment of the present invention includes an air guide plate 7 and a control mechanism for controlling the air guide plate 7 to move to different working states. The control mechanism can control the air guide plate 7 to close the air outlet of the housing; and the control mechanism can also adjust the air guide plate 7 to a horizontal anti-condensation state, and make the air guide plate 7 in the horizontal anti-condensation state be located below the air outlet of the housing or make the air guide plate 7 in the horizontal anti-condensation state contact the lower side of the air outlet of the housing. For details, please refer to Figure 8 At this time, the air guide plate 7 is in the anti-condensation mode and can receive condensation droplets that may appear at the air outlet of the cover.

[0047] Preferably, the air outlet direction of the cover housing air outlet is inclined downward, and the angle between the air outlet and the horizontal plane is an acute angle.

[0048] Preferably, the air guide plate 7 is an arc-shaped plate structure. When the air guide plate 7 is in a horizontal anti-condensation state, its arc opening faces upward. However, this is not limited to this. In other specific embodiments, the air guide plate 7 can also be designed as a flat plate structure.

[0049] Specifically, the air-conditioning air guide device can also adjust the air guide plate 7 to a downward air guide state through the control mechanism according to actual needs. Figure 4 The lower side of the air guide plate 7 in the downward air guiding state is further away from the air outlet of the housing than the upper side thereof, so that the angle between the center plane of the air guide plate 7 and the center plane of the air outlet of the housing is greater than zero and less than 90°.

[0050] Furthermore, the air-conditioning air guide device can also adjust the air guide plate 7 to an upward air guiding state through the control mechanism according to actual needs. Figure 6 and Figure 7 The upper side of the air guide plate 7 in the upward air guiding state is farther away from the air outlet of the housing than the lower side, so that the angle between the center plane of the air guide plate 7 and the center plane of the air outlet of the housing is greater than zero and less than 90°.

[0051] Specifically, in the aforementioned air-conditioning air guide device, the control mechanism includes a tilting drive mechanism and a linear drive mechanism. The tilting drive mechanism is used to adjust the distance between the upper side of the air guide plate 7 and the air outlet of the housing, as well as the distance between the lower side of the air guide plate 7 and the air outlet of the housing; the linear drive mechanism is used to adjust the distance between the entire air guide plate 7 and the air outlet of the housing.

[0052] Specifically, see Figure 1 ,as well as Figures 4 to 7 The above-mentioned flip driving mechanism includes a first rack member 61 and a second rack member 62 arranged in parallel, and a gear 5 located between the first rack member 61 and the second rack member 62.

[0053] The first rack member 61 is slidably disposed in the air conditioner along the length direction, meshes with the gear 5, and extends out of the air outlet of the housing to be hinged to the upper portion of the air guide plate 7;

[0054] The second rack member 62 is slidably disposed in the air conditioner along the length direction, meshes with the gear 5 , and extends out of the air outlet of the housing and is hinged to the lower portion of the air guide plate 7 .

[0055] Specifically, see Figure 1 ,as well as Figures 4 to 7 The linear drive mechanism includes a force rod shaft 3, a rotation driver 4, a first component 1, and a second component 2.

[0056] The force rod shaft 3 is coaxially fixedly connected to the gear 5. A first push rod 31, a second push rod 32, and a third push rod 33 are evenly arranged on the side wall of the force rod shaft 3 around the central axis. In the axial direction of the force rod shaft 3, the distance between the first push rod 31 and the second push rod 32, as well as the distance between the third push rod 33 and the second push rod 32 are both greater than zero.

[0057] The first member 1 is slidably disposed in the air conditioner via a linear guide structure. The gear 5 is rotatably mounted on the first member 1. The rotation centerline of the gear 5 is perpendicular to the sliding direction of the first member 1. The first rack member 61 and the second rack member 62 are respectively slidably connected to the first member 1.

[0058] The rotary driver 4 is used to drive the force rod shaft 3 and the gear 5 to rotate coaxially;

[0059] The second member 2 is fixedly connected to the air conditioner cover and is provided with a first stopper 21 and a second stopper 22, which are parallel to each other. The force rod shaft 3 is located between the first stopper 21 and the second stopper 22. The second stopper 22 is provided with a first rotation-free slot 221 for allowing the first push rod 31 to pass through, and a second rotation-free slot 222 for allowing the third push rod 33 to pass through. Therefore, when the first push rod 31 rotates to the position where the second stopper 22 is located, it can smoothly pass through the first rotation-free slot 221 without generating any force on the second stopper 22. When the third push rod 33 rotates to the position where the second stopper 22 is located, it can smoothly pass through the second rotation-free slot 222 without generating any force on the second stopper 22.

[0060] Preferably, the first rack member 61 includes a first rack body 611 for meshing and transmitting with the gear 5, and a first connecting rod 612 for being hinged to the wind deflector 7; the second rack member 62 includes a second rack body 621 for meshing and transmitting with the gear 5, and a second connecting rod 622 for being hinged to the wind deflector 7.

[0061] Preferably, see Figure 2 The first component 1 is a mechanism box. A first T-shaped chute 13 and a second T-shaped chute 14 are provided within the mechanism box. A first rack member 61 is slidably mounted in the first T-shaped chute 13 along its length, and a second rack member 62 is slidably mounted in the second T-shaped chute 14 along its length.

[0062] Moreover, a linear guide structure is provided above and below the mechanism box, and the linear guide structure is specifically Figure 2 The first guide protrusion 11 and the second guide protrusion 12 are shown in FIG. Correspondingly, a T-shaped slide groove adapted to the first guide protrusion 11 and a T-shaped slide groove adapted to the second guide protrusion 12 are provided on the inner side of the air conditioner cover. Thus, the mechanism box can be slidably installed in the air conditioner cover.

[0063] Specifically, the rotary driver 4 preferably adopts a rotary motor, the body of which is fixed to the side of the mechanism box by screws, and the motor shaft is coaxially connected to the connecting end of the force rod shaft 3 through a square hole. When the motor shaft rotates, the force rod shaft 3 and the gear 5 rotate synchronously therewith.

[0064] Specifically, the air conditioning air guide device further includes a first connecting rod 71 and a second connecting rod 72. The first connecting rod 71 has one end connected to the inner upper portion of the air guide plate 7 and the other end hinged to the outer connection end of the first rack member 61. The second connecting rod 72 has one end connected to the inner lower portion of the air guide plate 7 and the other end hinged to the outer connection end of the second rack member 62.

[0065] In summary, the working process of the air-conditioning air guide device provided by the embodiment of the present invention includes:

[0066] 1) The wind deflector 7 is Figure 1 The initial state shown in is adjusted to Figure 4 and Figure 5 In the downward wind guidance state shown, the process is as follows:

[0067] When the rotary driver 4 drives the force rod shaft 3 to rotate clockwise, the gear 5 rotates synchronously with the force rod shaft 3, so that the first push rod 31 pushes the first stopper 21 (i.e. Figure 1 The first component 1 (i.e., the mechanism box) moves to the left with the gear and rack as a whole, thereby pushing the air guide plate 7 to separate the air guide plate 7 from the air outlet of the air conditioner. At the same time, the gear 5 pushes the second rack component 62 (i.e., Figure 1 The lower rack in the middle) moves forward, pushing the first rack member 61 (i.e. Figure 1 When the upper rack in the middle moves back, the wind deflector 7 is in the downward wind-guiding state. When the rotary driver 4 drives the force rod shaft 3 and the gear 5 to continue to rotate, the first push rod 31 rotates clockwise and disengages from the first stopper 21. The wind deflector 7 can continue to rotate at an angle of a. When the second push rod 32 rotates to the first stopper 21 (i.e. Figure 1 When the right baffle in the middle is in the position, the air guide plate 7 flips to the maximum angle. At this time, the rotation driver 4, the force rod shaft 3 and the gear 5 stop rotating clockwise and start rotating counterclockwise to guide the air. Under the working condition of not shutting down the machine, the air guide plate 7 swings back and forth within the angle range a to guide the air;

[0068] When shutting down, the rotation driver 4 controls the force rod shaft 3 and the gear 5 to rotate counterclockwise, and the second push rod 32 pushes the second stopper 22 (i.e. Figure 1 At this time, the first component 1 will move to the right as a whole, pulling the air guide plate 7 to close the air outlet of the air conditioner.

[0069] 2) The wind deflector 7 is made of Figure 1 The initial state shown in is adjusted to Figure 6 and Figure 7 In the upward airflow state shown, the process is as follows:

[0070] When the rotation driver 4 drives the force rod shaft 3 to rotate counterclockwise, the gear 5 rotates synchronously with the force rod shaft 3, so that the third push rod 33 pushes the first stopper 21 (i.e. Figure 1 The first component 1 (i.e., the mechanism box) moves to the left with the gear and rack as a whole, thereby pushing the air guide plate 7 to separate the air guide plate 7 from the air outlet of the air conditioner. At the same time, the gear 5 pushes the second rack component 62 (i.e., Figure 1 The lower rack in the middle) moves back, pushing the first rack member 61 (i.e. Figure 1When the rotation driver 4 drives the force rod shaft 3 and the gear 5 to continue to rotate, the third push rod 33 rotates counterclockwise and disengages from the first stop 21. The wind deflector 7 can continue to rotate at an angle b. When the second push rod 32 rotates to the first stop 21 (i.e. Figure 1 When the right baffle is in the position, the air guide plate 7 flips to the maximum angle. At this time, the rotation driver 4, the force rod shaft 3 and the gear 5 stop rotating counterclockwise and start rotating clockwise to guide the air. Under the working condition of not shutting down the machine, the air guide plate 7 swings back and forth within the angle range b to guide the air;

[0071] When shutting down, the rotation driver 4 controls the force rod shaft 3 and the gear 5 to rotate clockwise, and the second push rod 32 pushes the second stopper 22 (ie Figure 1 At this time, the first component 1 will move to the right as a whole, pulling the air guide plate 7 to close the air outlet of the air conditioner.

[0072] Also, see Figure 8 The air guide plate 7 in the aforementioned air-conditioning air guide device can also be adjusted to a horizontal position to prevent condensation. A humidity sensor is installed at the air outlet of the housing. When the humidity at the air outlet reaches a certain level (typically when the air conditioner is in cooling mode), the air guide plate 7 rotates counterclockwise to its maximum angle, placing it in close contact with the bottom of the housing below the air outlet, catching water droplets and preventing them from dripping. When the outlet temperature reaches a certain level similar to the indoor temperature, the temperature difference at the outlet decreases, the water droplets gradually disappear, and the moisture trapped within the air guide plate is gradually dried, thus achieving the purpose of preventing condensation.

[0073] In addition, an embodiment of the present invention further provides a method for controlling an air guide plate of an air conditioner, the method comprising:

[0074] When the control mechanism adjusts the air guide plate 7 to move to the initial working state, the air guide plate 7 closes the air outlet of the housing;

[0075] When the control mechanism adjusts the air guide plate 7 to a horizontal anti-condensation state (the air conditioner is generally in a cooling anti-condensation mode at this time), the air guide plate 7 is located below the air outlet of the cover or the air guide plate 7 in the horizontal anti-condensation state is connected to the lower side of the air outlet of the cover.

[0076] In a preferred embodiment, a humidity detection sensor is provided at the air outlet of the housing. When the humidity detected by the humidity detection sensor is greater than a preset value (the air conditioner is generally in cooling mode at this time), the control mechanism adjusts the air guide plate 7 to a horizontal anti-condensation state.

[0077] Specifically, the air conditioner air guide plate control method further includes:

[0078] When air deflector 7 is in an upward airflow-directing state (the air conditioner is typically in cooling mode), the linear drive mechanism within the control mechanism controls the air deflector 7 to move a predetermined distance away from the housing's air outlet. Furthermore, the flip drive mechanism within the control mechanism controls the air deflector 7 to flip forward at an angle c1 and oscillate within the angle c1 range to increase the air delivery rate. During this process, the upper edge of air deflector 7 is always further away from the housing's air outlet than the lower edge of air deflector 7 to maintain the upward airflow-directing state. The operating process of the air conditioner's air deflector at this point can be seen in the first operating process described above.

[0079] When the air guide plate 7 is in a downward air-guiding state (the air conditioner is generally in heating mode at this time), the linear drive mechanism in the control mechanism controls the air guide plate 7 to move a preset distance away from the air outlet of the housing, and the flip drive mechanism in the control mechanism controls the air guide plate 7 to flip in the opposite direction at an angle c2 (generally, c2 = c1) and oscillate within the range of angle c2 to increase the air supply speed. During this process, the lower side of the air guide plate 7 is always further away from the air outlet of the housing than the upper side of the air guide plate 7 to maintain the downward air-guiding state. At this time, the working process of the air-conditioning air-guiding device can be referred to the working process 2 described above.
