Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] In order to prevent condensation from occurring on the air guide plate assembly of the air conditioner, the air conditioner is generally provided with a double-layer panel, for example, including an inner panel and an outer panel. Specifically, for example, the outer panel is provided with a panel body and an abutting end structure arranged around the panel body, and a height difference is formed between the abutting end structure and the panel body, so that when the inner panel abuts against the abutting end structure, there is a gap between the inner panel and the panel body, thereby preventing the condensation water generated inside the air conditioner from penetrating to the outer surface of the outer panel.

[0003] However, one of the shortcomings of the related technology is that during the assembly process of the air conditioner, the double-layer panels are prone to over-fitting. For example, since the inner panel is smaller in size and the outer panel is larger in size, the inner panel is easily misaligned when installed on the panel body, resulting in the problem of fracture of the peripheral structure of the inner panel. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The problem solved by the present invention is that the inner panel is easily misplaced when installed on the panel body, resulting in the fracture of the peripheral structure of the inner panel.

[0005] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides an air deflector assembly, comprising: an air deflector outer plate, which is provided with an air deflector body and a mating end arranged around the air deflector body; wherein a first height difference is formed between the mating end and the air deflector body; an inner lining plate, which is matingly connected to the mating end; and a support member, which is clamped between the air deflector outer plate and the inner lining plate; wherein the support member is located on the side of the mating end close to the air deflector body.

[0006] Compared with the existing technology, the technical effect achieved by adopting this technical solution is as follows: a support member is provided in the gap between the inner lining plate and the air guide outer plate. When the inner lining plate and the air guide outer plate are engaged, the support member can stop the inner lining plate, so that the inner lining plate will not be embedded into the air guide plate body due to excessive force during connection, which will cause excessive deformation of the peripheral structure of the inner lining plate and cause structural damage.

[0007] In one embodiment of the present invention, the support member is provided on the inner lining plate; wherein, the height of the support member protruding toward the air guide plate body is h, the distance between the inner lining plate and the air guide plate body is h1, the first height difference is h2, and then h2<h≤h1.

[0008] Compared with the existing technology, the technical effect achieved by adopting this technical solution is: the offset installation height in this case is smaller, that is, it is smaller than the height difference from the original mating end to the air guide plate body. When the peripheral structure of the inner lining plate slides to the air guide outer plate, the support member first contacts the air guide plate body, and the support member supports the inner lining plate. At this time, the peripheral structure of the inner lining plate will not slide and contact the air guide plate body, thereby making the peripheral structure of the inner lining plate less likely to be damaged.

[0009] In one embodiment of the present invention, the support member protrudes outward relative to a surface of one of the air guide outer panel and the inner lining panel, and has a gap with the other of the air guide outer panel and the inner lining panel.

[0010] Compared with the existing technology, the technical effect achieved by adopting this technical solution is: because the height of the support member is not higher than the mating end, it can ensure that there is no excess part of the support member that is disconnected from the air guide outer plate, and the strength of the support member is higher. If the support member is higher than the mating end, the strength of the support member is lower and the inner lining plate is easily damaged by compression.

[0011] In one embodiment of the present invention, the support member is a raised structure; and when the raised structure extends in a direction away from the mating connection between the air guide outer plate and the inner lining plate, the raised height of the raised structure becomes smaller and smaller.

[0012] Compared with the existing technology, the technical effect achieved by adopting this technical solution is: when the matching offset angle between the inner lining plate and the air guide outer plate is large, as the protruding height of the support member becomes smaller and smaller, the curvature of the inner lining plate will become more and more obvious, so that the support member has the function of prompting assembly misalignment.

[0013] In one embodiment of the present invention, the support member includes at least one of the following: a wedge-shaped limiting member, a triangular limiting member, a polygonal limiting member, a ridge limiting member, and a convex hull limiting member.

[0014] Compared with the existing technology, the technical effect achieved by adopting this technical solution is that support members with different structural shapes can increase the options in the production process, facilitating the production and application of support members.

[0015] In an embodiment of the present invention, there are multiple supporting members, and the multiple supporting members are arranged at intervals.

[0016] Compared with the existing technology, the technical effect achieved by adopting this technical solution is: due to the spaced arrangement of multiple support members, multiple points of the air guide outer panel can limit the inner lining panel, so the inner lining panel is not prone to over-interlocking, which improves the matching stability between the inner lining panel and the air guide outer panel.

[0017] In one embodiment of the present invention, the support member is integrally formed with the air guide outer panel; and / or the support member is integrally formed with the inner lining panel.

[0018] Compared with the existing technology, the technical effect achieved by adopting this technical solution is: the support part and the air guide outer plate or the inner lining plate are integrally formed, so that the support part can be integrally injection-molded and produced with the air guide outer plate or the inner lining plate, which facilitates the processing and production of the support part and reduces the processing and production cost.

[0019] In one embodiment of the present invention, the support member includes: a support platform, which is provided on the air deflector body and connected to the mating end; wherein the support platform is flush with the mating end.

[0020] Compared with the existing technology, the technical effect achieved by adopting this technical solution is: the support platform can be regarded as an extension part with the matching end toward the support part, which facilitates the connection between the inner lining plate and the air guide outer plate, and at the same time increases the connection stability between the inner lining plate and the air guide outer plate.

[0021] In one embodiment of the present invention, the air guide outer plate is snap-connected to the inner lining plate.

[0022] Compared with the existing technology, the technical effect achieved by adopting this technical solution is: the snap connection makes the connection between the air guide outer panel and the inner lining panel more stable and easy to disassemble.

[0023] In one embodiment of the present invention, an air conditioner includes: a middle frame provided with an air outlet; and an air guide plate assembly; wherein the air guide plate assembly corresponds to the position of the air outlet and is cooperatively connected to the middle frame.

[0024] Compared with the prior art, the technical effects achieved by adopting this technical solution are: due to the air deflector assembly in this case, condensation water seepage from the middle frame of the air conditioner is improved. Moreover, because the air deflector assembly in this case has a support member, it is less susceptible to damage, thereby improving the structural strength of the air deflector assembly and reducing the frequency of air deflector assembly replacement, thereby extending the service life of the air conditioner.

[0025] After adopting the technical solution of the present invention, the following technical effects can be achieved:

[0026] (1) The support member is provided in the gap between the inner lining plate and the air guide outer plate. The support member can be provided on the air guide outer plate or the inner lining plate. When the inner lining plate and the air guide outer plate are engaged, the support member can stop the inner lining plate so that the inner lining plate will not be damaged due to excessive force during the connection, thereby preventing the inner lining plate from being embedded in the air guide outer plate.

[0027] (2) When the support member is arranged on the inner lining plate, the offset installation height of the inner lining plate and the wind guide outer plate is smaller, that is, smaller than the height difference from the original sliding end to the wind guide plate body. When the peripheral structure of the inner lining plate slides to the wind guide outer plate, the support member first contacts the wind guide plate body, and the support member supports the inner lining plate. At this time, the peripheral structure of the inner lining plate will not slide and contact the wind guide plate body, thereby making it less likely for the peripheral structure of the inner lining plate to be damaged. At the same time, multiple support members are arranged at intervals on the wind guide outer plate or the inner lining plate, so that multiple points of the wind guide outer plate can be limited by the inner lining plate. Therefore, the inner lining plate is less likely to be over-engaged, thereby improving the matching stability between the inner lining plate and the wind guide outer plate.

[0028] (4) An air conditioner having an air guide plate assembly in this case can improve the condensation water leakage at the middle frame of the air conditioner. In addition, since the air guide plate assembly in this case has a support member, the air guide plate assembly in the air conditioner is not easily damaged, the structural strength of the air guide plate assembly of the air conditioner is improved, the frequency of replacing the air guide plate assembly of the air conditioner is reduced, and the service life of the air conditioner is extended.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0040] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, specific embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0041] Example 1:

[0042] See also Figures 1 to 3 The present embodiment provides an air deflector assembly 100, comprising: an air deflector outer plate 10, provided with an air deflector body 11 and a mating end 12 arranged around the air deflector body 11; wherein a first height difference is formed between the mating end 12 and the air deflector body 11; an inner lining plate 20, matingly connected to the mating end 12; a support member 30, clamped between the air deflector outer plate 10 and the inner lining plate 20; wherein the support member 30 is located on the side of the mating end 12 close to the air deflector body 11.

[0043] In this embodiment, the air guide plate assembly 100 is composed of an air guide outer plate 10 and an inner lining plate 20. During the use of a single air guide outer plate 10, condensed water can easily penetrate through the single-layer air guide outer plate 10 to the outside of the air guide outer plate 10, causing dripping, so it needs to be used in conjunction with the inner lining plate 20.

[0044] Among them, the inner lining plate 20 is connected to the air guide outer plate 10, and the inner lining plate 20 is located on the side close to the air conditioner body during the assembly process, and the size of the inner lining plate 20 is smaller than the air guide outer plate 10, that is, after the air guide plate assembly 100 is assembled with the air conditioner body, the inner lining plate 20 is not visible. Specifically, when the air guide plate assembly is rotated, for example, when it is swung up and down, the air guide outer plate 10 can successfully hide the inner lining plate 20.

[0045] After the air guide outer plate 10 and the inner lining plate 20 are assembled, Figure 6 It can be seen that the air guide plate body 11 is not fitted with the inner lining plate 20, that is, there is a gap space between the air guide plate body 11 and the inner lining plate 20, and condensed water will remain in the gap space. At this time, the side of the air guide outer plate 10 close to the external space of the air conditioner will not seep out condensed water, preventing the dripping of condensed water.

[0046] Because in the related art, the air guide outer panel 10 and the inner lining panel 20 are mostly made of deformable plastic materials, when the inner lining panel 20 is engaged with the air guide outer panel 10, the inner lining panel 20 is prone to excessive engagement with the air guide outer panel 10 due to problems such as large pressing and engaging force. Specifically, the inner lining panel 20 is prone to be misaligned and slide onto the air guide plate body 11, thereby causing the peripheral structure of the inner lining panel 20 to be excessively deformed, thereby causing the peripheral structure of the inner lining panel 20 to break.

[0047] In this embodiment, a support member 30 is disposed in the gap between the inner lining panel 20 and the air deflector body 11. The distance between the top of the mating end 12 and the air deflector body 11 is a first height difference. This first height difference allows the air deflector outer panel 10 to have a concave structure, enabling the support member 30 to be positioned at the connection between the mating end 12 and the air deflector body 11. When the inner lining panel 20 and the air deflector outer panel 10 are engaged, the support member 30 acts as a stop for the inner lining panel 20, preventing damage caused by excessive force during connection to the mating end 12 or other reasons from digging into the air deflector body 11. This improves the service life of the inner lining panel 20 and the air deflector outer panel 10.

[0048] Example 2:

[0049] See also Figures 5 and 6 , the support member 30 is provided on the inner lining plate 20; wherein, the height of the support member 30 protruding toward the air guide plate body 11 is h, the distance between the inner lining plate 20 and the air guide plate body 11 is h1, the first height difference is h2, then h2<h≤h1.

[0050] In this embodiment, the support member 30 can be installed on the inner lining plate 20. When the support member 30 is installed on the inner lining plate 20, there is a distance between the top of the support member 30 and the inner surface of the inner lining plate 20. This distance is defined as h, which is the raised height of the support member 30. The distance h2 is the first height difference, which is the distance between the top of the mating end 12 and the inner surface of the deflector body 11. The distance h1 is the distance between the inner surface of the inner lining plate 20 and the inner surface of the deflector body 11.

[0051] As can be seen from h2<h

[0052] Preferably, when h1 = h, the position-limiting support effect of the support member 30 is optimal. At this point, when the inner lining plate 20 is mated with the wind deflector outer panel 10, the top of the support member 30 abuts against the inner surface of the wind deflector body 11. Therefore, even if the inner lining plate 20 and the wind deflector outer panel 10 are misaligned, the support of the support member 30 ensures that the corresponding structure at any position in the inner lining plate 20 contacts the end surface of the mating end 12 of the wind deflector outer panel 10 without generating a mutual squeezing force, thereby ensuring the structural integrity of the inner lining plate 20.

[0053] Example 3:

[0054] See also Figure 2 and Figure 6 The support member 30 protrudes outward relative to the surface of either the air guide outer panel 10 or the inner lining panel 20 , and has a gap with the other of the air guide outer panel 10 and the inner lining panel 20 relative to either one.

[0055] In this embodiment, the support member 30 is disposed on the air deflector outer panel 10, and the height of the support member 30 does not exceed the height of the mating end 12 protruding relative to the air deflector body 11. When the air deflector outer panel 10 is mated with the inner lining panel 20, a gap exists between the support member 30 and the inner lining panel 20. Because the inner lining panel 20 is also made of a plastic material and has a certain degree of deformability, this gap provides a cushioning effect for the inner lining panel 20 relative to the air deflector outer panel 10, making it less susceptible to damage.

[0056] ​At the same time, because the height of the support member 30 is no higher than the mating end 12, it is ensured that there is no excess portion of the support member 30 that is disconnected from the air guide outer panel 10. In this case, the side of the support member 30 near the mating end 12 is completely in contact with the mating end 12, thereby enhancing the structural strength of the support member 30. If the support member 30 were higher than the mating end 12, the structure of the support member 30 above the mating end 12 would be more susceptible to damage. For example, when the inner lining panel 20 is mated and installed to the mating end 12, if the end surface of the inner lining panel 20 at the mating end 12 moves toward the support member 30, the structure of the support member 30 that extends beyond the mating end 12 may be squeezed and damaged.

[0057] Among them, when the support member 30 is set on the inner lining plate 20, the height of the support member 30 on the inner lining plate 20 is set so that there is a gap between the support member 30 and the wind guide outer plate 10, and the effect is the same as above, so it will not be repeated here.

[0058] Example 4:

[0059] See also Figures 6 to 8 , the support member 30 is a raised structure; and when the raised structure extends toward a direction away from the outer air guide plate 10 and the inner lining plate 20 in cooperation with each other, the raised height of the raised structure becomes smaller and smaller.

[0060] In this embodiment, the support member 30 protrudes outward toward the air guide plate body 11 , and the support member 30 is connected to the mating end 12 , and the protruding direction of the support member 30 faces the concave side of the air guide outer plate 10 .

[0061] The height of the protrusion of the support member 30 increases along the extension direction, and the support platform 31 has a straight section. After the straight section, the height of the protrusion of the support member 30 gradually decreases, and then enters the bent section 32 of the support member 30. When the inner lining plate 20 slips on the mating end 12, the inner lining plate 20 enters the straight section of the support platform 31. The straight section of the support platform 31 can support the inner lining plate 20 from slipping, so the straight section of the support platform 31 can meet the function of limiting the inner lining plate 20.

[0062] When the inner lining plate 20 slips significantly, exceeding the limiting effect of the straight section of the support platform 31, the inner lining plate 20 enters the bent section 32 of the support member 30. The inner lining plate 20 located in the bent section 32 will then be visibly bent, making it obvious that the inner lining plate 20 is over-embedded due to squeezing. However, the presence of the bent section 32 allows the installer to promptly detect this assembly error and prevent the inner lining plate 20 from further embedding into the air deflector body 11, thereby preventing the inner lining plate 20 from excessive deformation and damage. In other words, the bent section 32 makes it easy for others to observe the current state of the inner lining plate 20 and prevents the inner lining plate 20 from embedding further, allowing people to adjust the engagement position of the inner lining plate 20 in a timely manner, thereby avoiding damage to the inner lining plate 20 structure and protecting the integrity of the inner lining plate 20.

[0063] Embodiment 5:

[0064] See also Figure 8 The support member 30 includes at least one of the following: a wedge-shaped limiting member, a triangular limiting member, a polygonal limiting member, a ridge limiting member, and a convex hull limiting member.

[0065] In this embodiment, the support member 30 can be of the various shapes and structures mentioned above. The support members 30 of different structural shapes can increase the options in the production process and facilitate the production and application of the support member 30.

[0066] Meanwhile, the supporting member 30 may be made of hard plastic or the like.

[0067] Example 6:

[0068] See 1 to Figure 2 The number of the supporting members 30 is multiple, and the multiple supporting members 30 are arranged at intervals.

[0069] In this embodiment, multiple support members 30 are provided on the air guide outer panel 10, and the multiple support members 30 are spaced apart. Specifically, because the long sides of the air guide outer panel 10 are provided with connectors that engage with the inner lining panel 20, the multiple support members 30 are provided on both sides of the short sides of the air guide outer panel 10.

[0070] Among them, due to the spaced arrangement of multiple support members 30, multiple points of the air guide outer panel 10 can limit the inner lining panel 20, so the inner lining panel 20 is not prone to over-interlocking, which improves the matching stability between the inner lining panel 20 and the air guide outer panel 10.

[0071] Furthermore, the multiple support members 30 are evenly spaced. Evenly spaced support members 30 ensure that the support members 30 at all points on the air guide outer panel 10 provide a consistent position-limiting effect on the inner lining panel 20. This prevents the inner lining panel 20 or the air guide outer panel 10 from being excessively engaged with the air guide outer panel 10 due to uneven spacing of the support members 30, thereby preventing damage to the inner lining panel 20 or the air guide outer panel 10.

[0072] The multiple support members 30 can also be evenly spaced on the inner lining panel 20. This ensures that the support members 30 at each point on the inner lining panel 20 have a consistent limiting effect on the air guide outer panel 10. This prevents the inner lining panel 20 or the air guide outer panel 10 from being excessively engaged due to uneven spacing of the support members 30, thereby preventing damage to the inner lining panel 20 or the air guide outer panel 10.

[0073] Embodiment seven:

[0074] See also Figures 1 to 2 , the support member 30 is integrally formed with the air guide outer plate 10; and / or, the support member 30 is integrally formed with the inner lining plate 20.

[0075] In this embodiment, the support member 30 is integrally formed with the air guide outer panel 10 or with the inner lining panel 20. In this case, the support member 30 and the air guide outer panel 10 are integrally formed during the injection molding process. If the support member 30 is disposed on the inner lining panel 20, the support member 30 and the inner lining panel 20 are also integrally formed during the injection molding process. That is, there is no adhesive connection surface between the support member 30 and the air guide outer panel 10 or the inner lining panel 20. This arrangement of the support member 30 facilitates manufacturing, that is, the manufacturing cost is low.

[0076] Furthermore, the support member 30 is an independent part, that is, the support member 30 is produced separately during the production and injection molding process. In this case, the support member 30 can be bonded to the air guide outer plate 10 or to the inner lining plate 20.

[0077] Similarly, the support member 30 is made of plastic and can be connected to the air guide outer panel 10 or the inner lining panel 20 by heat melting. Since the support member 30 is produced separately, when the support member 30 is worn or damaged, the support member 30 can be replaced, facilitating the continued use of the inner lining panel 20 and the air guide outer panel 10.

[0078] In order to strengthen the limiting strength of the inner lining plate 20 and the wind guide outer plate 10, support members 30 can be provided on both the inner lining plate 20 and the wind guide outer plate 10. The support members 30 provided on the inner lining plate 20 are used to abut against the wind guide outer plate 10, and the support members 30 provided on the wind guide outer plate 10 abut against the inner lining plate 20.

[0079] Furthermore, the support member 30 provided on the inner lining plate 20 and the support member 30 provided on the wind guide outer plate 10 fit in contact with each other when they are matched.

[0080] Embodiment 8:

[0081] See also Figure 1 and Figure 8 The support member 30 includes: a support platform 31, which is provided on the air guide plate body 11 and connected to the matching end 12; wherein the support platform 31 is flush with the matching end 12.

[0082] In this embodiment, the support platform 31 is flush with the mating end 12, thereby increasing the length and area of ​​the connection between the mating end 12 and the inner lining plate 20. The support platform 31 can be considered as an extension of the mating end 12 toward the support member 30, facilitating the connection between the inner lining plate 20 and the air guide outer panel 10 while also increasing the stability of the connection between the inner lining plate 20 and the air guide outer panel 10.

[0083] Embodiment 9:

[0084] See also Figure 2 and Figure 4 The air guide outer plate 10 and the inner lining plate 20 are snap-connected.

[0085] In this embodiment, the buckle includes: a first connecting member 50 is provided on the air guide outer panel 10, and a second connecting member 51 is provided on the inner lining panel 20, wherein the first connecting member 50 cooperates with the second connecting member 51 so that the inner lining panel 20 can be fixed on the air guide outer panel 10.

[0086] Specifically, there are multiple first connectors 50 on the air deflector body 11, and the multiple first connectors 50 are evenly distributed on the air deflector body 11. Similarly, the second connectors 51 corresponding to the first connectors 50 are evenly distributed on the inner lining plate 20. This improves the connection stability between the air deflector outer plate 10 and the inner lining plate 20.

[0087] Among them, since the inner lining plate 20 and the air guide outer plate 10 are connected by snap-fit ​​connection, it is convenient to remove the inner lining plate 20 from the air guide outer plate 10.

[0088] Embodiment 10:

[0089] See also Figure 1 and Figure 9 An air conditioner 60 includes: a middle frame 70, which is provided with an air outlet; and an air guide plate assembly 100; wherein the air guide plate assembly 100 corresponds to the position of the air outlet and is connected to the middle frame 70 in cooperation.

[0090] In this embodiment, an air conditioner 60 is provided with an air deflector assembly 100 as described in any one of the above-mentioned embodiments 1 to 9. The air deflector assembly 100 is provided with an air deflector outer plate 10 and an inner lining plate 20 that cooperates with the air deflector outer plate 10. Condensed water generated at this time will be stored in the gap space between the air deflector outer plate 10 and the inner lining plate 20, thereby improving the condensed water leakage at the middle frame 70 of the air conditioner 60. In addition, because the air deflector assembly 100 in this case has a support member 30, the air deflector assembly 100 in the air conditioner 60 is not easily damaged, which can improve the structural strength of the air deflector assembly 100 of the air conditioner 60, reduce the frequency of replacing the air deflector assembly 100 of the air conditioner 60, and thus extend the service life of the air conditioner 60.

[0091] The air conditioner 60 may be a wall-mounted air conditioner, a floor-standing air conditioner, a central air conditioner, a mobile air conditioner, or the like.
