[0002] With the development of economic society and the improvement of people's living standards, users continue to have higher requirements for air supply comfort. In the cooling mode of the traditional air conditioner, the air supply angle is not high enough, which easily causes the cold air to quickly descend and blow directly on the human body, causing headaches or joint discomfort. In the heating mode, since the air outlet of the wall-mounted air conditioner is high, the hot air is easily gathered in the upper part of the room, causing uneven temperature distribution in the room, which causes the upper and lower body temperature of the human body to be unevenly distributed, resulting in discomfort.

[0003] In the related art, a rotating air deflector is used to increase the air supply angle. However, due to the rotation arrangement distance requirement between the air deflector and the shell, the adjustment angle of the rotating air deflector is limited, and multi-angle air supply cannot be achieved. In the prior art, a form of multiple air deflectors and multiple driving members is also used to achieve combined air supply, but it faces the problems of complex components, multiple moving parts, poor comfort experience, and high cost.

[0034] Embodiments of the present application are described below in detail, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below by reference to the drawings are exemplary and are intended to explain the present application, and cannot be understood as a limitation of the present application.

[0035] As shown in the drawings, Figure 1 The air guide assembly 100 of the embodiment of the present application comprises a first connecting member 1, a second connecting member 2 and an air guide plate 3. The first connecting member 1 and the second connecting member 2 are connected in sequence, and the first connecting member 1 is adapted to be connected with a housing 200 of an air conditioner. The air guide plate 3 is connected with the second connecting member 2, and the air guide plate 3 is rotatable relative to the second connecting member 2. The interval distance between the first connecting member 1 and the second connecting member 2 is adjustable to make the air guide plate 3 away from or close to the housing 200.

[0036] Specifically, as shown in the drawings, Figure 1 The upper end of the first connecting member 1 is connected with the housing 200, and the lower end of the second connecting member 2 is connected with the air guide plate 3, for example, the second connecting member 2 is located at the left and right ends of the air guide plate 3, or the first connecting member 1 is also located at the left and right ends of the air guide plate 3. It should be noted that the left and right ends of the air guide plate 3 are the two sides in the length direction of the air guide plate 3. By arranging the first connecting member 1 and the second connecting member 2 on the left and right sides of the air guide plate 3, the first connecting member 1 and the second connecting member 2 can avoid the air outlet 5 of the air conditioner, so as not to affect the overall air outlet of the air conditioner.

[0037] The first connecting member 1 can be arranged inside or outside the housing 200 of the air conditioner.

[0038] For example, the first connecting member 1 can be indirectly connected with the housing 200. For example, a rotary motor can be arranged at the connection between the first connecting member 1 and the housing 200. The rotary motor is fixed on the housing 200, and the first connecting member 1 is connected with the driving shaft of the rotary motor. The rotary motor can drive the first connecting member 1 to rotate, so as to drive the second connecting member 2 and the air guide plate 3 to rotate. A rotary motor is also arranged at the connection between the second connecting member 2 and the air guide plate 3. The driving shaft of the rotary motor is connected with the air guide plate 3, and the rotary motor at this position can drive the air guide plate 3 to rotate by 360°. It should be noted that the rotary motor can drive the air guide plate 3 to adjust at any angle within the range of 360°.

[0039] Alternatively, the first connecting member 1 is directly connected with the housing, for example, the rotary motor is integrated on the first connecting member 1.

[0040] Optionally, a sweeping blade can also be arranged on the air guide plate 3, or the sweeping blade is arranged at the air outlet 5 and adjacent to the air outlet 5 relative to the air guide plate 3.

[0041] The first connecting member 1 and the second connecting member 2 extend in the up-down direction, and the interval distance between the first connecting member 1 and the second connecting member 2 can be adjusted to drive the air deflector 3 away from or close to the air outlet 5. For example, when the interval distance between the first connecting member 1 and the second connecting member 2 increases, the air deflector 3 is driven away from the air outlet 5, and vice versa, when the interval distance between the first connecting member 1 and the second connecting member 2 decreases, the air deflector 3 is driven close to the air outlet 5.

[0042] The air deflection assembly 100 of the present disclosure can adjust the distance between the air deflector 3 and the air outlet 5 by adjusting the interval distance between the first connecting member 1 and the second connecting member 2, which not only improves the range of movement of the air deflector 3, but also adjusts the air volume by using the air deflector 3. For example, when the distance between the air deflector 3 and the air outlet 5 decreases, the air deflector 3 blocks part of the airflow, thereby adjusting the air volume and air speed, and vice versa, when the distance between the air deflector 3 and the air outlet 5 increases, the gap between the air deflector 3 and the air outlet 5 increases, and the air volume increases. The air deflector 3 can rotate 360° to achieve multi-angle air supply and increase the diversity of air supply. Since the air deflector 3 can rotate 360°, the problem of insufficient air supply angle in the cooling mode and the problem of cold air blowing on people are solved, and the problem of insufficient air supply angle in the heating mode and the problem of uneven temperature distribution in the room, which causes uneven temperature distribution of the human body, are also solved.

[0043] In some embodiments, the air deflection assembly 100 further comprises a telescopic component 4, one end of the telescopic component 4 is connected to the first connecting member 1, and the other end of the telescopic component 4 is connected to the second connecting member 2, and the telescopic component 4 can be extended and retracted to drive the air deflector 3 away from or close to the housing 200.

[0044] Specifically, as shown in Figure 1 , the upper end of the telescopic component 4 is connected to the lower end of the first connecting member 1, and the lower end of the telescopic component 4 is connected to the upper end of the second connecting member 2, and the telescopic component 4 can be extended or retracted in the up-down direction to adjust the interval distance between the first connecting member 1 and the second connecting member 2. For example, when the telescopic component 4 is extended, the interval distance between the first connecting member 1 and the second connecting member 2 increases, and the air deflector 3 is driven away from the air outlet 5, and vice versa, when the telescopic component 4 is retracted, the interval distance between the first connecting member 1 and the second connecting member 2 decreases, and the air deflector 3 is driven close to the air outlet 5. For example, the telescopic component 4 can be an electric telescopic rod.

[0045] In some embodiments, the air deflector 3 comprises a plate body 31 and a protruding portion 32, the plate body 31 has a first end (such as the outer end face shown in Figure 2 ) and a second end (such as the inner end face shown in Figure 2 ), the first end is arranged away from the air outlet relative to the second end, the protruding portion 32 is arranged at the first end, and the protruding portion 32 extends in the direction away from the plate body 31 in the thickness direction of the plate body 31.

[0046] It should be noted that the inner end surface of the plate body 31 refers to the surface facing the air outlet in the off state of the air conditioner, and the outer end surface of the plate body 31 refers to the surface away from the air outlet in the off state of the air conditioner.

[0047] Specifically, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the plate body 31 and the protruding part 32 extend along the length direction of the air outlet 5, and the size of the plate body 31 and the protruding part 32 in the length direction of the air outlet 5 is the same. The protruding part 32 is arranged on the outer end surface of the plate body 31, and in the initial state of the air deflector 3, the protruding part 32 faces the outside of the air outlet 5. It should be noted that the initial state is that the air conditioner is in the off state.

[0048] It should be noted that when the air conditioner is in the ring wind state, the air deflector 3 rotates to direct the protruding part 32 towards the air outlet 5, and the protruding part 32 separates the airflow into two airflow streams.

[0049] In the longitudinal section of the air deflector 3, the cross-sectional area of the protruding part 32 gradually decreases in the direction away from the plate body 31, so as to not only effectively separate the airflow, but also avoid that the size of the head of the protruding part 32 is too large to block the airflow, and ensure the smoothness of the airflow.

[0050] For example, the plate body 31 and the protruding part 32 can be integrally formed.

[0051] The air deflector 3 of the embodiment of the present disclosure can effectively separate the airflow by arranging the protruding part 32 on the plate body 31, ensure the uniformity of the distribution of the two airflow streams, and avoid that the size of the head of the protruding part 32 is too large to block the airflow, and ensure the smoothness of the airflow.

[0052] In some embodiments, the plate body 31 includes a first section 311 and a second section 312 connected in sequence, the first section 311 is located above the second section 312, and the protruding part 32 is located between the first section 311 and the second section 312. Arranging the protruding part 32 between the first section 311 and the second section 312 can ensure the separation effect and uniformity of the two ring airflow streams, and improve the comfort of use.

[0053] In some embodiments, the inner side surface of the first section 311 is curved to form an arc surface in the direction away from the air outlet 5, and the inner side surface of the second section 312 is a plane.

[0054] It should be noted that the inner side surface refers to the side of the air deflector 3 facing the air outlet when the air conditioner is in the off state.

[0055] Specifically, as shown in Figure 2As shown in the drawings, the inner side of the first section 311 is an arc-shaped surface protruding outward in a direction away from the air outlet 5, and the inner side of the second section 312 is a flat surface.

[0056] As shown in the drawings, the inner side of the first section 311 is an arc-shaped surface protruding outward in a direction away from the air outlet 5, and the inner side of the second section 312 is a flat surface. Figures 4 to 7 As shown in the drawings, when the air conditioner is in the heating mode, the first section 311 of the plate body 31 is connected with the upper end surface of the air outlet 5, at this time, the second section 312 is in a generally vertical state, and the airflow flows downward under the guidance of the first section 311 and the second section 312, thereby forming carpet wind. The inner side of the second section 312 is provided as a flat surface, so that the airflow flows downward better. The inner side of the first section 311 is provided as an arc-shaped surface, so that the air deflector 3 is better connected with the air outlet 5, and turbulence of the airflow at the air deflector 3 and the air outlet 5 is avoided.

[0057] When the air conditioner is in the cooling mode, the second section 312 is connected with the lower end surface of the air outlet 5, at this time, the outer side of the first section 311 is bent upward, and the cold air flows upward under the guidance of the first section 311 and the second section 312, thereby forming a sky screen, and the cold air is prevented from blowing directly on the human body. The inner side of the first section 311 is provided as an arc-shaped surface, so that the airflow flows upward better in the cooling mode.

[0058] In some embodiments, the outer side of the first section 311 is curved to form an arc-shaped surface in a direction away from the air outlet 5, and the outer side of the second section 312 is a flat surface.

[0059] It should be noted that the outer side refers to the side of the air deflector 3 away from the air outlet when the air conditioner is in the closed state.

[0060] Specifically, as shown in the drawings, the outer side of the first section 311 is an arc-shaped surface protruding outward in a direction away from the air outlet 5, and the outer side of the second section 312 is a flat surface. Figure 2 As shown in the drawings, when the air conditioner is in the heating mode, the first section 311 of the plate body 31 is connected with the upper end surface of the air outlet 5, at this time, the second section 312 is in a generally vertical state, and the airflow flows downward under the guidance of the first section 311 and the second section 312, thereby forming carpet wind. The inner side of the second section 312 is provided as a flat surface, so that the airflow flows downward better. The inner side of the first section 311 is provided as an arc-shaped surface, so that the air deflector 3 is better connected with the air outlet 5, and turbulence of the airflow at the air deflector 3 and the air outlet 5 is avoided.

[0061] Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown in the drawings, when the air conditioner is in the heating mode, the first section 311 of the plate body 31 is connected with the upper end surface of the air outlet 5, at this time, the second section 312 is in a generally vertical state, and the airflow flows downward under the guidance of the first section 311 and the second section 312, thereby forming carpet wind. The inner side of the second section 312 is provided as a flat surface, so that the airflow flows downward better. The inner side of the first section 311 is provided as an arc-shaped surface, so that the air deflector 3 is better connected with the air outlet 5, and turbulence of the airflow at the air deflector 3 and the air outlet 5 is avoided.

[0062] In some embodiments, the protruding portion 32 and the first section 311 are smoothly connected through an arc-shaped surface, and the protruding portion 32 and the second section 312 are smoothly connected through an arc-shaped surface.

[0063] Specifically, as shown in the drawings, the outer side of the first section 311 is an arc-shaped surface protruding outward in a direction away from the air outlet 5, and the outer side of the second section 312 is a flat surface. Figure 1 and​Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the arc surface between the protruding part 32 and the first section 311 is concave, and the arc surface between the protruding part 32 and the second section 312 is concave, as shown in the figure Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown in the figure, the air flow can smoothly flow through the connection between the protruding part 32 and the first section 311 and the connection between the protruding part 32 and the second section 312, thereby improving the comfort of air supply.

[0064] As shown in the figure Figure 3 The air conditioner of the embodiment of the present disclosure comprises a shell 200 and an air guide assembly 100, the shell 200 has an air outlet 5; the air guide assembly 100 is the air guide assembly 100 of any of the above embodiments, the air guide assembly 100 is located at the air outlet 5, the connecting piece is connected with the shell 200, and the air guide plate 3 can open and close the air outlet 5.

[0065] Specifically, as shown in the figure Figure 3 The air outlet 5 is arranged at the lower end of the shell 200, the air guide assembly 100 is located outside the air outlet 5, and the air guide plate 3 can open and close the air outlet 5.

[0066] The air conditioner of the embodiment of the present disclosure can adjust the distance between the air guide plate 3 and the air outlet 5 by adjusting the interval distance between the first connecting piece 1 and the second connecting piece 2, which can not only improve the activity range of the air guide plate 3, but also adjust the air volume by using the air guide plate 3. For example, when the distance between the air guide plate 3 and the air outlet 5 decreases, the air guide plate 3 blocks part of the air flow, thereby adjusting the air volume and the air speed. Conversely, when the distance between the air guide plate 3 and the air outlet 5 increases, the gap between the air guide plate 3 and the air outlet 5 increases, and the air volume increases. The air guide plate 3 can rotate 360° to realize multi-angle air supply and increase the diversity of air supply. Since the air guide plate 3 can rotate 360°, the problem of insufficient air supply angle in the cooling mode and the problem of easy blowing of cold air to people are solved, and the problem of insufficient air supply angle in the heating mode and the problem of uneven temperature distribution of the room, which causes uneven temperature distribution of the human body, are also solved. The problem of uneven distribution of the two air flows in the embrace air mode is also solved.

[0067] In some embodiments, the air guide assembly 100 has an initial position, a cooling position, a heating position and an embrace position, the air outlet 5 has an upper end surface and a lower end surface, in the initial position, the air guide plate 3 closes the air outlet 5, in the cooling position, the second section 312 of the plate body 31 of the air guide plate 3 is connected with the lower end surface of the air outlet 5 to form an air outlet channel, in the heating position, the first section 311 of the plate body 31 of the air guide plate 3 is connected with the upper end surface of the air outlet 5, and in the embrace position, the protruding part 32 of the air guide plate 3 faces the air outlet 5.

[0068] As shown in the figure Figures 4 to 9As shown, in the initial position, the protruding part 32 is directed to the outside of the air outlet 5, and the air deflector 3 closes the air outlet 5.

[0069] In the heating position, the first section 311 of the plate body 31 is in abutment with the upper end surface of the air outlet 5, and at this time, the second section 312 is in a generally vertical state. Under the guidance of the first section 311 and the second section 312, the air flow flows downward, thereby forming carpet wind. The inner side surface of the second section 312 is designed as a plane, so that the air flow flows downward better. The inner side surface of the first section 311 is designed as a curved surface, so that the air deflector 3 is better in abutment with the air outlet 5, and turbulence of the air flow at the air deflector 3 and the air outlet 5 is avoided.

[0070] In the cooling position, the second section 312 is in abutment with the lower end surface of the air outlet 5, and at this time, the outer side of the first section 311 is bent upward. Under the guidance of the first section 311 and the second section 312, the cold air flows upward, thereby forming sky curtain wind, and cold air blowing directly to the human body is avoided. The inner side surface of the first section 311 is designed as a curved surface, so that the air flow flows upward better in the cooling mode.

[0071] In the embracing position, the air deflector 3 is flipped over, and at this time, the outer side surface of the air deflector 3 is directed to the air outlet 5, that is, the protruding part 32 is located on the side adjacent to the air outlet 5 at this time. The air flow discharged from the air outlet 5 is separated at the protruding part 32, thereby forming two streams of embracing wind upward and downward. At this time, the second section 312 is above the first section 311. Since the outer side surface of the first section 311 is a curved surface and the outer side surface of the second section is a plane, the air volume and flow rate of the two streams of embracing wind upward and downward are uniform, and the air flow separation effect is improved.

[0072] In some embodiments, in the embracing position, the interval distance between the protruding part 32 and the upper end surface of the air outlet 5 is equal to the interval distance between the protruding part 32 and the lower end surface of the air outlet 5.

[0073] It should be noted that in the embracing position, the center line of the protruding part 32 is generally coincident with the center line of the air outlet 5, that is, the protruding part 32 is located at the central position of the air outlet 5. The air discharged from the air outlet 5 is separated into two streams of embracing wind upward and downward through the protruding part 32. The protruding part 32 is arranged at the central position of the air outlet 5, so that the air flow separation effect is improved.

[0074] In some embodiments, in the cooling position, the included angle between the air deflector 3 and the second connecting piece 2 is A, and in the heating position, the included angle between the air deflector 3 and the second connecting piece 2 is B, and A > B.

[0075] Specifically, as shown in FIG. 1, Figure 4 and Figure 6As shown, the included angle between the rear end surface of the air deflector 3 and the second connecting member 2 is A in the cooling position, and the included angle between the rear end surface of the air deflector 3 and the second connecting member 2 is B in the heating position, and A>B, so that the air flow can flow downward to form carpet wind in the heating position, and the air flow can flow upward to form sky screen wind in the cooling position, thereby improving the air supply effect.

[0076] The air conditioner control method of the embodiments of the present disclosure comprises the following steps: selecting an operation mode of an air conditioner, the air conditioner being the air conditioner described in any of the above embodiments, and the operation mode comprising a closed mode, a cooling mode, a heating mode and a surround air mode.

[0077] For example, the air conditioner mode is selected and adjusted by a wireless control module or a remote control module.

[0078] The distance and the selected angle between the air deflector 3 and the air outlet 5 are adjusted according to the selected operation mode.

[0079] For example, in the cooling mode, the air deflector 3 swings downward to form an upward air outlet channel; in the heating mode, the air deflector 3 swings upward to form a downward air outlet channel; and in the surround air mode, the air deflector 3 rotates so that the protruding part 32 faces the air outlet 5 to form two upward and downward air outlet channels.

[0080] The air conditioner control method of the embodiments of the present disclosure can improve the diversity and comfort of air supply of the air conditioner.
