Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] At present, some air conditioners on the market are equipped with wind guide plates with rotating shafts that are spliced ​​together. The splicing of such wind guide plates is completed by two plates, and the rotating shaft of the wind guide plates is formed by the natural buckling of two half shafts, and the outer surface of the rotating shaft is flat.

[0003] During the operation of the air guide plate, the joint between the two half-axles forming the rotating shaft is weak and prone to deformation, resulting in a large step gap between the two half-axles at the joint, which makes it impossible for the rotating shaft to rotate smoothly and affects the air outlet adjustment of the air conditioner. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The problem solved by the present invention is that a rotating shaft of an air guide plate is prone to produce a large step gap.

[0005] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides an air guide plate, which can prevent the rotation shaft of the air guide plate from generating a large step gap, thereby ensuring the normal rotation of the air guide plate.

[0006] An embodiment of the present invention provides an air deflector, comprising an outer guide plate and an inner lining plate, wherein the outer guide plate comprises a first plate body and a first semi-shaft connected to each other, and the inner lining plate comprises a second plate body and a second semi-shaft connected to each other, wherein the second plate body is connected to the first plate body, and the second semi-shaft is buckled with the first semi-shaft to form a cylindrical rotating shaft;

[0007] A docking plate is protruded from the side wall of one of the first half-shaft and the second half-shaft, a first reinforcing rib is vertically provided on the inner wall of the docking plate, the first reinforcing rib and the inner wall of the docking plate form a limiting groove, and an insert is protruded from the side wall of the other of the first half-shaft and the second half-shaft, and the insert is embedded in the limiting groove.

[0008] In actual use, when the first and second half-shafts are fastened together to form the cylindrical shaft, the panel protruding from the sidewall of one of the first and second half-shafts fits into the retaining groove provided on the remaining half-shaft. The retaining groove formed by the first reinforcing rib and the docking plate restrains the panel, while the panel and the first reinforcing rib restrain the docking plate, preventing excessive deformation between the docking plates and thereby avoiding the formation of a large step gap, thereby ensuring smooth rotation of the cylindrical shaft.

[0011] In an optional embodiment, a side wall of one of the first and second half shafts, on which the docking plate is protruding, is abutted against and connected to one side of the connecting section.

[0012] The side wall of one of the first and second half shafts, on which a docking plate is protruding, is attached to and connected to one side of the connecting section, thereby further improving the structural strength.

[0014] From the side of the connecting section to the side away from the connecting section, the distance between the limiting wall and the inner wall of the connecting plate gradually increases. As the panel gradually fits into the limiting groove, the width of the limiting groove gradually decreases, thereby achieving gradual locking of the panel.

[0015] In an optional embodiment, a first guide sliding wall is further provided on the second end, one side of the first guide sliding wall is connected to the side of the limiting wall away from the connecting section, and the first guide sliding wall and the limiting wall form an angle with each other.

[0016] The first guide sliding wall plays a guiding role in inserting the panel into the limit groove, realizing rapid positioning and improving the convenience of operation.

[0023] The second reinforcing ribs erected on the outer wall of the second plate body are connected to the outer wall of the second half-shaft, thereby further improving the structural strength of the second half-shaft and preventing the second half-shaft from being deformed due to its excessive length.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0030] 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.

[0031] See also Figure 1 , Figure 1 Shown is a cross-sectional view of the air guide plate 100 provided in this embodiment.

[0032] The air deflector 100 provided in this embodiment includes an outer guide plate 110 and an inner lining plate 130. The outer guide plate 110 includes a first plate 111 and a first semi-axle 113 connected to each other. The inner lining plate 130 includes a second plate 131 and a second semi-axle 133 connected to each other. The first plate 111 and the second plate 131 are connected, and the first semi-axle 113 and the second semi-axle 133 are engaged to form a cylindrical rotating shaft. The air deflector 100 is used in an air conditioner to adjust the airflow direction of the air conditioner.

[0033] See also Figure 2 and Figure 3 , Figure 2 Shown Figure 1 Schematic diagram of the decomposition structure, Figure 3 Shown Figure 2 A magnified schematic diagram of area A in the middle.

[0034] In this embodiment, a docking plate 115 is protruded from the side wall of the first half shaft 113 , a first reinforcing rib 117 is protruded from the inner wall of the docking plate 115 , and the first reinforcing rib 117 and the inner wall of the docking plate 115 form a limiting groove 116 .

[0035] In this embodiment, a butt joint plate 115 is protruded from two opposing side walls of the first half-shaft 113. A plurality of first reinforcing ribs 117 are provided, each spaced apart on the two butt joint plates 115. The arrangement direction on each butt joint plate 115 is aligned with the extension direction of the first half-shaft 113. In other words, the first half-shaft 113 includes a plurality of retaining grooves 116 formed by the plurality of first reinforcing ribs 117 and the butt joint plates 115 on opposing sides of the first half-shaft 113.

[0036] In order to enhance the effect of the first reinforcing rib 117 on improving the structural strength of the first semi-shaft 113 , in this embodiment, the plane where the first reinforcing rib 117 is located is parallel to the radial cross section of the cylindrical shaft.

[0037] The first reinforcing rib 117 includes a connecting section 1171 and a reinforcing section 1173. One end of the connecting section 1171 is connected to the inner wall of the docking plate 115, and the end of the connecting section 1171 away from the docking plate 115 is connected to the reinforcing section 1173. The reinforcing section 1173 is respectively provided with a first end 1174 and a second end 1175. The first end 1174 is connected to the inner wall of the first half shaft 113, and the second end 1175, the connecting section 1171 and the inner wall of the docking plate 115 form a limiting groove 116.

[0038] In actual application, the first end 1174 of the reinforcement section 1173 is connected to the inner wall of the first half shaft 113, which serves to enhance the structural strength of the first half shaft 113. The second end 1175 of the reinforcement section 1173 and the limiting groove 116 formed by the connecting section 1171 and the inner wall of the docking plate 115 are used to clamp the second half shaft 133, so that the side edges of the second half shaft 133 and the first half shaft 113 form mutual limitations, thereby avoiding excessive deformation of the side edges of the first half shaft 113 and the second half shaft 133, resulting in an excessively large step gap.

[0039] To further enhance the strength of the first half-shaft 113 by the first reinforcing rib 117, in this embodiment, the sidewall of the first half-shaft 113 is affixed to and connected to one side of the connecting section 1171. In fact, in this embodiment, the first reinforcing rib 117 and the first half-shaft 113 are integrally formed.

[0040] Furthermore, a limiting wall 1176 and a first guide wall 1177 are respectively provided on the second end 1175 of the reinforcement section 1173 of the first reinforcing rib 117. One side of the limiting wall 1176 is connected to the connecting section 1171, and the side of the limiting wall 1176 away from the connecting section 1171 is connected to one side of the first guide wall 1177. In actual use, the first guide wall 1177 is used to guide the side edge of the second half shaft 133 to slide into the limiting groove 116. The limiting wall 1176 and the inner wall of the docking plate 115 jointly limit the side edge of the second half shaft 133.

[0041] To ensure smooth engagement between first and second semi-axles 113, 133, in this embodiment, retaining walls 1176 are parallel to docking plate 115. In fact, in this embodiment, both first and second semi-axles 113, 133 have semicircular cross-sections. Together, they form a cylindrical rotating shaft. The connecting plate is an arc-shaped plate with the same curvature as the first semi-axle 113, and retaining walls 1176 also have the same curvature.

[0042] The first guide sliding wall 1177 and the limiting wall 1176 form an included angle, and the distance between the first guide sliding wall 1177 and the inner wall of the docking plate 115 gradually increases from the side connected to the limiting wall 1176 to the side away from the limiting wall 1176. That is, the first guide sliding wall 1177 and the inner wall of the docking plate 115 form an outward-expanding opening to facilitate the side edge of the second half shaft 133 to extend into.

[0043] Please continue reading Figure 2 In this embodiment, a panel 135 protrudes from the side wall of the second axle 133. Panel 135 is also integrally formed with the second axle 133 and embedded in the retaining groove 116. In practice, when the first axle 113 and the second axle 133 are engaged, the docking plate 115 overlaps the panel 135, the side wall of the docking plate 115 abuts against the side wall of the second axle 133, and the outer wall of the docking plate 115 is flush with the outer wall of the second axle 133.

[0044] To ensure that the first half shaft 113 and the second half shaft 133 can be smoothly buckled to form a cylindrical rotating shaft, in this embodiment, the insert plate 135 is a curved plate with the same curvature as the second half shaft 133 , that is, the insert plate 135 has the same curvature as the docking plate 115 .

[0045] The panel 135 fits within the retaining groove 116, and the first reinforcing rib 117 and the docking plate 115 limit the position of the panel 135, preventing it from deforming too much. Conversely, the panel 135 and the first reinforcing rib 117 limit the position of the docking plate 115, preventing it from deforming too much. Furthermore, the first reinforcing rib 117 enhances the structural strength of the engaging portion of the cylindrical shaft.

[0046] To facilitate alignment during the fastening process, in this embodiment, a second guide sliding wall 1351 is provided on the panel 135 , one side of the second guide sliding wall 1351 is connected to the side wall of the panel 135 at an angle, and the other side of the guide sliding wall is connected to the outer wall of the panel 135 at an angle.

[0047] It is understood that, in actual production and processing, the width of the limiting groove 116 and the thickness of the panel 135 can be adjusted to ensure that, when the panel 135 is inserted into the limiting groove 116, the inner wall of the panel 135 contacts the limiting wall 1176 on the reinforcement section 1173 of the first reinforcing rib 117, and the outer wall of the panel 135 contacts the inner wall of the docking plate 115. For example, the thickness of the panel 135 can be adjusted to be equal to or slightly greater than the distance between the limiting wall 1176 and the inner wall of the docking plate 115, so that when the side walls of the first and second half-shafts 113 and 133 contact each other, the panel 135 is precisely clamped between the limiting wall 1176 and the docking plate 115.

[0048] In addition, corresponding to the first semi-shaft 113 , two opposite side walls of the second semi-shaft 133 are both provided with inserts 135 . The two inserts 135 are correspondingly embedded in the two limiting grooves 116 on the first semi-shaft 113 .

[0049] It should be noted that in other embodiments, the positions of the docking plate 115 and the inserting plate 135 can be reversed. That is, the docking plate 115 can be protruded from the side wall of the second half-shaft 133, while the inserting plate 135 is correspondingly protruded from the inner wall of the first half-shaft 113. In this case, the first reinforcing ribs 117 formed on the inner wall of the docking plate 115 and the docking plate 115 also form a retaining groove 116, and the inserting plate 135 is also recessed into the retaining groove 116.

[0050] Considering that in actual applications, the cylindrical rotating shaft formed by the first semi-shaft 113 and the second semi-shaft 133 is prone to bending and deformation if it is too long, in this embodiment, second reinforcing ribs 137 are provided on the outer wall of the second plate 131, and the second reinforcing ribs 137 are connected to the outer wall of the second semi-shaft 133. The second semi-shaft 133 is connected to the second plate 131 by the second reinforcing ribs 137 to form an integral structure, which significantly improves the strength, thereby improving the overall strength of the cylindrical rotating shaft formed by the first semi-shaft 113.

[0051] In the wind deflector 100 provided in this embodiment, the first reinforcing ribs 117 significantly enhance the strength of the first and second half-shafts 113 and 133 at the point of engagement. Furthermore, the first reinforcing ribs 117 restrain the butt plate 115 and the insert plate 135 from each other, preventing excessive deformation and, in other words, the formation of a large step gap at the point of engagement. Furthermore, the provision of the second reinforcing ribs 137 further enhances the structural strength of the cylindrical shaft, preventing bending and deformation, and ensuring smooth rotation of the wind deflector 100.

[0052] In summary, the air guide plate 100 provided in this embodiment has a cylindrical rotating shaft with higher structural strength, which can prevent the cylindrical rotating shaft from generating a large step gap and ensure normal rotation.

[0053] This embodiment further provides an air conditioner including the aforementioned air guide plate 100. The cylindrical rotating shaft of the air guide plate 100 has a higher structural strength and is not easily deformed. Therefore, the air conditioner provided by this embodiment has a longer service life and smoother air flow adjustment.

[0054] Although the present invention is disclosed as above, the present invention is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be based on the scope defined by the claims.
