[0002] At present, air conditioners have become indispensable electrical appliances in people's work and life, and can provide users with a comfortable living environment.

[0003] Air conditioners are typically equipped with an air deflector. This deflector extends or rotates under the influence of a motion assembly, allowing the deflector to extend to a specific position or angle, thereby directing the airflow from the indoor unit and meeting user comfort requirements. Existing motion assemblies include a rack-and-pinion extension mechanism. A motor drives the gear to rotate, causing the rack to extend and retract. The rack connects to the air deflector, which in turn extends the deflector from the air conditioner. The motor then directly rotates the deflector to guide the air.

[0013] Optionally, the motion assembly further includes a first driving mechanism, which is connected to the other end of the second connecting rod, and the first driving mechanism is used to drive the second connecting rod to move along the linear track, thereby driving the air guide plate to extend out of the air conditioner.

[0014] Optionally, the first driving mechanism includes a first motor and a gear, the first motor is fixedly mounted on the track plate; the gear is arranged on the driving shaft of the first motor, and the second connecting rod is provided with a rack; wherein, under the drive of the first motor, the gear is engaged with the rack to drive the second connecting rod to move, so that the air guide plate extends out of the air conditioner.

[0015] Optionally, the motion component also includes a second driving mechanism, which is drivingly connected to one end of the first connecting rod; wherein, in the process of the air deflector extending to the first preset position, the first driving mechanism drives the second connecting rod to move to extend the air deflector; after the air deflector reaches the first preset position, the first driving mechanism continues to drive the second connecting rod to move, and the second driving mechanism drives the first connecting rod to rotate, thereby driving the air deflector to extend and rotate.

During the rotation of the air deflector, the second connecting rod moves along a linear track until it reaches the end of the linear track, thereby providing support for the rotation of the air deflector. Thus, during the extension and rotation of the air deflector, the first and second connecting rods cooperate to share the weight of the air deflector, thereby enhancing the structural strength and reliability of the motion assembly. Furthermore, since the air deflector rotates after extending from the air conditioner, the air deflector has a larger rotational space and can be opened to a wider angle for air diversion, meeting the needs of different users.

[0045] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present disclosure can be combined with each other.

[0046] The embodiment of the present disclosure provides an air conditioner, such as Figure 1 shown.

[0047] The air conditioner is a large-guide-plate air conditioner. When the air guide plate 50 of the air conditioner is in the closed state, the air outlet can be completely closed, and there is no gap between the air guide plate 50 and the air outlet. In addition, during the air supply process of the air conditioner, the air guide plate 50 is first extended from the air conditioner and then rotated to guide the air. In this way, the air guide plate 50 is far away from the air outlet, and the wind resistance of the air flow blown out of the air conditioner is small, which can reduce the noise generated at the air guide plate 50 during the air supply process. At the same time, compared with the air guide plate 50 rotating at the air outlet to supply air, the air guide plate 50 rotating outside the air outlet can supply air at a larger angle and a larger range, thereby improving the cooling or heating effect of the air conditioner. Optionally, the air conditioner provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure can also be a cabinet unit or a duct unit.

[0048] In some embodiments, the air conditioner includes the above-mentioned motion assembly for the air guide plate 50.

[0049] Optionally, motion components are provided on both sides of the air deflector 50, and the motion components on both sides simultaneously drive the air deflector 50 to move. The structure and motion process of the motion component on the right side of the air deflector 50 are described in detail below.

[0050] The embodiment of the present disclosure also provides a motion component for the wind deflector 50, such as Figures 2 to 14 shown.

[0051] In some embodiments, the motion component for the air guide plate 50 includes a first connecting rod 20, a second connecting rod 30 and a track plate 40, one end of the first connecting rod 20 is rotatably connected to the air guide plate 50 and drives the air guide plate 50 to rotate under the action of an external driving force; one end of the second connecting rod 30 is rotatably connected to the air guide plate 50, and the other end drives the air guide plate 50 to extend out of the air conditioner under the action of another external driving force; the track plate 40 is fixed to the air conditioner, and the track plate 40 is provided with a straight track to limit the motion trajectory of the second connecting rod 30 so that the air guide plate 50 extends out of the air conditioner; wherein, under the coordinated action of the first connecting rod 20 and the second connecting rod 30, the air guide plate 50 first extends out of the air conditioner to a first preset position and then rotates.

[0052] The motion assembly for the air deflector 50 provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure includes a first connecting rod 20, a second connecting rod 30, and a track plate 40. One end of the second connecting rod 30 drives the air deflector 50 to extend under the action of an external driving force, and one end of the first connecting rod 20 and the other end of the second connecting rod 30 are both rotatably connected to the air deflector 50. The second connecting rod 30 transmits the external driving force to the first connecting rod 20 through the connection point between the first connecting rod 20 and the air deflector 50. Then, under the action of the external driving force, the first connecting rod 20 and the second connecting rod 30 move synchronously, driving the air deflector 50 to extend. One end of the first connecting rod 20 can drive the air deflector 50 to rotate under the action of another external driving force. During the rotation of the air deflector 50, the second connecting rod 30 continues to move along the linear track until it reaches the end of the linear track, thereby providing support for the rotation of the air deflector 50. Thus, during the extension and rotation of the air deflector 50, the first connecting rod 20 and the second connecting rod 30 cooperate to bear the weight of the air deflector 50, thereby enhancing the structural strength and reliability of the moving assembly. Furthermore, after the air deflector 50 is extended from the air conditioner and then rotated, it has a larger rotational space, allowing it to open to a wider angle to guide air, thus meeting the needs of different users.

[0053] Among them, the first preset position is the position where the air guide plate 50 is extended out of the air conditioner and is about to start rotating. At this time, there is a certain distance between the air guide plate 50 and the air outlet, and the air guide plate 50 can be opened upward or downward at the first preset position. In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the rotation position of the air guide plate 50 is not limited to the first preset position. The first preset position is the initial position of the rotation of the air guide plate 50. The rotation of the air guide plate 50 can be understood as rotating while extending. When the air guide plate 50 moves to the first preset position, the state of the moving component is as follows: Figure 12 shown.

[0054] Optionally, there are multiple linear tracks, which are arranged in parallel. In this way, the extension of the wind deflector 50 driven by the second connecting rod 30 can be more stably limited.

[0055] It will be understood that the linear track of the track plate 40 is used to limit the extension of the wind deflector 50 driven by the second connecting rod 30. The direction of the linear track is the same as the direction in which the wind deflector 50 translates to the first predetermined position. During the movement of the wind deflector 50, the second connecting rod 30 continuously moves linearly within the linear track, and stops when it reaches the end of the linear track. In this way, the wind deflector 50 rotates based on the connection point between the second connecting rod 30 and the wind deflector 50, and the second connecting rod 30 provides support for the rotation of the wind deflector 50.

[0056] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the movement process of the air guide plate 50 can be understood as follows: one end of the second connecting rod 30 drives the first connecting rod 20 to move synchronously along the linear track under the action of an external driving force, so that the air guide plate 50 moves horizontally and extends out of the air conditioner. After that, the second connecting rod 30 continues to move in the linear track, and one end of the first connecting rod 20 begins to rotate under the action of another external driving force. The first connecting rod 20 and the second connecting rod 30 generate relative motion, thereby driving the air guide plate 50 to extend and rotate.

[0057] After extending to the first preset position, the air deflector 50 can rotate while extending. This reduces the need for the air deflector 50 to extend over a long distance during the extension phase. Compared to a configuration where the air deflector 50 extends from the air conditioner and then rotates, the air deflector 50 in the disclosed embodiment requires a shorter extension distance. The air deflector 50 can continue to extend during the rotation process, providing ample space for large-angle rotation of the air deflector 50 and improving the consistency of the air deflector 50's movement. Furthermore, it is understood that the time required for the air deflector 50 to extend is also shorter, resulting in a more balanced distribution of time between the extension and rotation phases, thereby enhancing the user's sensory experience.

[0058] Optionally, the first connecting rod 20 includes a first sliding column 22 . The first sliding column 22 is disposed in the middle of the first connecting rod 20 , and the first sliding column 22 is slidably disposed in the linear track.

[0059] During the extension of the wind deflector 50, the first connecting rod 20 synchronizes its linear motion with the second connecting rod 30 by sliding the first sliding post 22 within the linear track. During the rotation of the wind deflector 50, the first sliding post 22 serves as the fulcrum for the first connecting rod 20. The first connecting rod 20 can rotate about the first sliding post 22, thereby cooperating with the second connecting rod 30 to drive the rotation of the wind deflector 50.

[0060] Optionally, the second connecting rod 30 includes a through slide 35 , which is arranged along the direction in which the wind deflector 50 extends and passes through the plate surface of the second connecting rod 30 , so that the first sliding column 22 passes through the through slide 35 and moves along a linear track.

[0061] It will be appreciated that during the rotation of the air deflector 50, the first sliding post 22 can also slide within the through-slide 35, thereby generating relative displacement with the second connecting rod 30. Specifically, the length of the through-slide 35 is the relative displacement between the first connecting rod 20 and the second connecting rod 30 in the direction in which the air deflector 50 extends. This allows the first connecting rod 20 to open the air deflector 50 to a wider angle, meeting the user's air supply needs.

[0062] Optionally, the second connecting rod 30 includes a rack plate, which is provided at the other end of the second connecting rod 30 , and a rack 33 is provided on one side of the rack plate. The rack 33 is used to drive the second connecting rod 30 to move along the linear track.

[0063] like Figure 5 As shown, the upper portion of the second connecting rod 30 is a rack plate, and a rack 33 is provided on one side of the rack plate. The rack 33 can drive the second connecting rod 30 to move linearly under the action of an external driving force so that the air guide plate 50 extends out of the air conditioner.

[0064] Optionally, the rack 33 is arranged in a straight line along the direction in which the air guide plate 50 extends, and the length of the rack 33 is greater than the distance from the air guide plate 50 extending from the closed state to the first preset position.

[0065] In the disclosed embodiment, the air deflector 50 is first extended from the air conditioner and then rotated while extending. Therefore, the length of the rack 33 needs to be greater than the distance the air deflector 50 moves from the closed state to the first predetermined position. For example, the length of the rack 33 can be equal to the distance from the connection point between the air deflector 50 and the second connecting rod 30 from the closed state to the position where the air deflector 50 has the maximum angle.

[0066] Optionally, the second connecting rod 30 further includes at least a second sliding column 31 and a third sliding column 32 , the second sliding column 31 is slidably arranged on the linear track, and the third sliding column 32 is arranged side by side with the second sliding column 31 and is slidably arranged on the linear track.

[0067] like Figure 5 As shown, the second connecting rod 30 is provided with a second sliding column 31 and a third sliding column 32 side by side. The two sliding columns are slidably arranged on a linear track to define the movement trajectory of the second connecting rod 30.

[0068] Optionally, the number of linear tracks on the track plate 40 is three, that is, the track plate 40 includes a first linear track 41, a second linear track 42 and a third linear track 43. Optionally, the first sliding column 22 is slidably set in a linear track. For example. The first sliding column 22 is slidably set on the first linear track 41, the second sliding column 31 is slidably set on the second linear track 42, and the third sliding column 32 is slidably set on the third linear track 43. The track plate 40 is only provided with three linear tracks, and other tracks, such as herringbone tracks, are not provided. In this way, the smoothness of the movement of the moving component can be improved, and the first connecting rod 20 and the second connecting rod 30 can be avoided from being constrained by too many tracks, causing the wind guide plate 50 to jam during movement. The structure of the track plate 40 in the embodiment of the present disclosure is as follows: Figure 7 shown.

[0069] Optionally, bushings are further provided on both sides of the first connecting rod 20 to reduce direct wear with other adjacent components and extend the service life of the moving assembly.

[0070] Optionally, the motion assembly further includes a first driving mechanism connected to the other end of the second connecting rod 30 , and the first driving mechanism is used to drive the second connecting rod 30 to move along a linear track, thereby driving the air guide plate 50 to extend out of the air conditioner.

[0071] like Figure 6 As shown, one end of the second connecting rod 30 is provided with a second connecting hole 34, which is hinged to the air guide plate 50. The other end of the second connecting rod 30 is provided with a rack 33, which is used to be connected to the first driving mechanism to drive the air guide plate 50 to extend out of the air conditioner.

[0072] Optionally, the first driving mechanism includes a first motor 10 and a gear 11, the first motor 10 is fixedly mounted on the track plate 40; the gear 11 is arranged on the driving shaft of the first motor 10, and the second connecting rod 30 is provided with a rack 33; wherein, under the drive of the first motor 10, the gear 11 engages with the rack 33 to drive the second connecting rod 30 to move, so that the air guide plate 50 extends out of the air conditioner.

[0073] Optionally, the track plate 40 has two oppositely disposed plate surfaces, the gear 11 is disposed on one plate surface of the track plate 40 and can mesh with the rack 33 of the second connecting rod 30, as shown in FIG. Figure 7 The first motor 10 is fixedly arranged on the other surface of the track plate 40, as shown. Figure 8 Optionally, a through hole is provided on the track plate 40 , and the driving shaft of the first motor 10 passes through the through hole and is connected to the gear 11 .

[0074] In the disclosed embodiment, the arrangement of the first drive mechanism fully utilizes the space within the drive box of the motion assembly. The movement process of the air deflector 50 is as follows: the second connecting rod 30 drives the air deflector 50 to extend, after which the second connecting rod 30 continues to extend, and the first connecting rod 20 rotates around the first sliding column 22, thereby driving the air deflector 50 to extend and rotate at the same time. The rotation center of the air deflector 50 is the connection point between the second connecting rod 30 and the air deflector 50. In the above process, the length of the rack 33 only needs to meet the distance the air deflector 50 extends. The rotation of the air deflector 50 is achieved based on the support of the second connecting rod 30 and the drive of the first connecting rod 20. Therefore, the rack 33 does not need to be set too long. In this way, the space inside the air conditioner occupied by the motion assembly can be reduced, meeting the installation requirements of the motion assembly.

[0075] Optionally, the motion component also includes a second drive mechanism, which is drivably connected to one end of the first connecting rod 20; wherein, in the process of the air guide plate 50 extending to the first preset position, the first drive mechanism drives the second connecting rod 30 to move to extend the air guide plate 50; after the air guide plate 50 reaches the first preset position, the first drive mechanism continues to drive the second connecting rod 30 to move, and the second drive mechanism drives the first connecting rod 20 to rotate, thereby driving the air guide plate 50 to extend and rotate.

[0076] In the disclosed embodiment, the motion assembly includes a first drive mechanism and a second drive mechanism. During the movement of the air deflector 50, the first drive mechanism continuously provides the driving force for the second connecting rod 30 to extend. When the air deflector 50 is extended to the first preset position, the second drive mechanism drives the first connecting rod 20 to rotate, thereby causing the air deflector 50 to extend and rotate simultaneously. It is understood that the fulcrum for the rotation of the first connecting rod 20 is the first sliding post 22, and the support point for the air deflector 50 during the rotation process is the connection point between the second connecting rod 30 and the air deflector 50.

[0077] Optionally, the second driving mechanism includes a second motor 70, which is fixed to the mounting base 51 of the air guide plate 50, and the drive shaft of the second motor 70 is arranged in the first mounting shaft 52 of the mounting base 51, and the first mounting shaft 52 is drive-connected to the first connecting rod 20 and the first mounting shaft 52 is rotatably arranged on the mounting base 51.

[0078] Optionally, two mounting bases 51 are provided on the inner side wall of the air deflector 50, and the two mounting bases 51 are arranged opposite each other.

[0090] Optionally, the connecting member 60 is provided with a second mounting shaft, and the second mounting shaft includes a first fixed column 61, a second elastic column 62 and a third elastic column 63. There is a deformation gap between the first fixed column 61, the second elastic column 62 and the third elastic column 63, so that the second elastic column 62 and the third elastic column can be engaged with the second connecting rod 30 to prevent the second connecting rod 30 from detaching from the connecting member 60 during the movement of the wind guide plate 50.

[0091] Optionally, the first fixing post 61, the second elastic post 62, and the third elastic post 63 are arranged in a cylindrical shape. The second connecting hole 34 of the second connecting rod 30 is a circular hole, which can adapt to the second connecting rod 30 to drive the air deflector 50 to move. The second elastic post 62 and the third elastic post 63 are respectively arranged on both sides of the first fixing post 61.

[0092] Optionally, a boss 64 is provided on the outer side surface of the first fixing column 61 , and the boss 64 is used to abut against the second connecting rod 30 , so as to provide support for the second connecting rod 30 during the movement of the air deflector 50 .

[0093] Optionally, the connector 60 further includes a card 65 , and the mounting seat 51 of the air deflector 50 is provided with a card slot, and the card 65 is engaged with the card slot to achieve a fixed connection between the connector 60 and the mounting seat 51 .

[0094] The process of the connecting rod assembly for the air deflector 50 provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure driving the air deflector 50 to extend and rotate is as follows:

[0095] When the air guide plate 50 is closed, the state of the moving component is as follows: Figure 2 As shown, the gear 11 is engaged with the lower end of the rack 33 of the second connecting rod 30, and the first motor 10 drives the gear 11 to rotate and drives the second connecting rod 30 to move along the linear track, so that the air guide plate 50 extends to the first preset position.

[0096] When the air deflector 50 moves to the first preset position, the second motor 70 drives the first connecting rod 20 to rotate around the first sliding column 22 in the first direction. At the same time, the first motor 10 drives the second connecting rod 30 to continue to move along the linear track. The first connecting rod 20 and the second connecting rod 30 move relative to each other, thereby driving the air deflector 50 to open upward. Figure 13 As shown. Among them, the first direction is based on Figure 2 Clockwise direction shown.

[0097] When the air deflector 50 reaches the first preset position, the second motor 70 drives the first connecting rod 20 to rotate around the first sliding column 22 in the second direction. At the same time, the first motor 10 drives the second connecting rod 30 to continue to move along the linear track. The first connecting rod 20 and the second connecting rod 30 move relative to each other, thereby driving the air deflector 50 to open downward. Figure 14 As shown. The second direction is based on Figure 2 Counterclockwise direction shown.
