Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of air conditioner technology, specifically to an air guide assembly and an air conditioner having the same. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, there are two types of assembly and driving methods for the air guide structure of air conditioning indoor units. One type has a fixed rotation center and one or both ends equipped with a swing motor. The swing motor drives the air guide structure to rotate, thereby adjusting the airflow direction. Figure One As shown, this method has a relatively small sweeping range, typically within 110 degrees. Another method involves using a drive mechanism to first push the entire air guide structure away from the air outlet, adjusting the angle of the push rod to adjust the position of the rotation center, and then using a sweeping motor to drive the air guide structure to achieve sweeping, as shown... Figure Two As shown in the diagram. This structure has a wider sweeping range than the first method, typically reaching over 130°, offering better comfort and a seamless appearance. However, the rotation center of the air guide structure in this method is often lower. Both of the above designs, to ensure the required sweeping range, use an eccentric rotation center, with the center of gravity often lower. This offset often results in the center of gravity being above the rotation center when the air guide structure is closed. Under gravity, the air guide structure is prone to deformation, creating gaps at the upper edge and affecting the air conditioner's appearance.
