[0035] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0036] This application provides an air conditioner to solve the problem that in existing air conditioners, the central area of ​​the air outlet always experiences continuous airflow during operation. Please refer to... Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of the air conditioner provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 2 for Figure 1The diagram shows the structure of the air conditioner's concealed housing, air guide plate, and roller shutter assembly. The air conditioner 100 provided in this embodiment includes a housing 110, with an internal cavity 111, and an air outlet 112 communicating with the cavity 111. The air conditioner 100 also includes a baffle 121, which is located at the air outlet 112 and connected to the housing 110, dividing the air outlet 112 into a first air outlet area 1121 and a second air outlet area 1122. This allows the air blown from the air outlet 112 to exit from both the first and second air outlet areas, solving the problem in the prior art where the central area of ​​the air conditioner's outlet constantly blows air, causing cold or hot air to always blow directly onto the user.

[0037] In addition, please combine Figure 3 and Figure 4 , Figure 3 for Figure 1 The diagram shows the hidden structure of the air conditioner housing, air guide plate, and baffle. Figure 4 for Figure 3 The diagram shows an enlarged view of part A of the air conditioner. The air conditioner 100 also includes at least two sets of roller blind assemblies 130, which are respectively disposed in the first air outlet area 1121 and the second air outlet area 1122. Each set of roller blind assemblies 130 includes a roller blind 133, wherein the roller blind 133 is slidably disposed relative to the housing 110 in the first air outlet area 1121 to adjust the air outlet area of ​​the first air outlet area 1121, and the roller blind 133 can also be slidably disposed relative to the housing 110 in the second air outlet area 1122 to adjust the air outlet area of ​​the second air outlet area 1122, further improving the user experience.

[0038] The air conditioner 100 provided in this embodiment can not only replace the air outlet 112's central area air outlet with the air outlet 1122 on both sides of the baffle 121, thus solving the problem in the prior art where the central area of ​​the air outlet always continuously emits air, causing cold or hot air to blow directly onto the user; at the same time, at least two sets of roller blind assemblies 130 can slide on the first air outlet 1121 and the second air outlet 1122 via the roller blind 133, thereby adjusting the first air outlet. The air outlet area of ​​zone 1121 and the second air outlet area 1122 is adjusted to solve the problem in the prior art that the air conditioner can only adjust the air outlet direction and air outlet range through the air guide plate, but cannot flexibly adjust the air outlet area under the specified air outlet direction. At the same time, when the air conditioner 100 is turned off, at least two sets of roller blind assemblies 130 can also close the air outlet 112, thereby protecting children from accidentally touching dangerous components inside the air duct, so as to protect children when the air conditioner is turned off and prevent external dust and bacteria from entering the air conditioner 100.

[0039] It is understood that, in this embodiment, at least two sets of roller blind assemblies 130 can be as follows: Figure 4 As shown, the first roller blind assembly 130A and the second roller blind assembly 130B disposed on both sides of the baffle 121 can also be multiple sets of roller blind assemblies 130 overlapped in the receiving cavity 111. The specific number of roller blinds 133 can be adjusted according to the number of roller blind assemblies 130. At the same time, in this embodiment, at least two roller blinds 133 disposed in the first air outlet area 1121 and the second air outlet area 1122 can slide synchronously toward the baffle 121 (i.e., simultaneously adjust the air outlet area of ​​the first air outlet area 1121 and the second air outlet area 1122), or they can slide independently, so that the user can accurately control the air outlet area of ​​the first air outlet area 1121 and the second air outlet area 1122, thereby further improving the user experience.

[0040] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the roller blind 133 can be composed of multiple independent blades hinged together, or it can be an integrally formed independent blade. At the same time, this embodiment does not limit the specific material of the roller blind 133. Its material can be conventional flexible materials such as plastics, preferably wear-resistant materials such as polyetheretherketone or polyoxymethylene, thereby enhancing the reliability and service life of the roller blind 133 and further alleviating the oxidation of the roller blind 133 during use. This solves the problem that the roller blind 133 in the prior art is made of plastic and is prone to blade loosening after oxidation.

[0041] Optionally, the air conditioner 100 may also include an air deflector. For example, such as... Figure 3 As shown, the first roller blind assembly 130A and the second roller blind assembly 130B can be disposed on the side of the baffle 121 near the air outlet 112; in addition, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The air guide plate may include a first air guide plate 122A and a second air guide plate 122B disposed on both sides of the baffle 121. The first air guide plate 122A is disposed in the first air outlet area 1121 to cover the first roller blind assembly 130A, and the second air guide plate 122B is disposed in the second air outlet area 1122 to cover the second roller blind assembly 130B. Both the first air guide plate 122A and the second air guide plate 122B are rotatably disposed at the air outlet 112. It is understood that the air conditioner 100 in this application provides a safe rotation clearance for both the first air guide plate 122A and the second air guide plate 122B, thereby preventing collisions with the roller blind assembly 130 when the first air guide plate 122A and the second air guide plate 122B rotate.

[0042] When the air outlet 112 of the air conditioner 100 does not need to vent air, the first air guide plate 122A and the second air guide plate 122B located on both sides of the baffle 121 can cover the air outlet 112. This not only prevents external dust and bacteria from entering the housing 110, but also protects the first roller blind assembly 130A and the second roller blind assembly 130B from oxidation caused by exposure to air. When the air outlet 112 of the air conditioner 100 needs to vent air, the first air guide plate 122A and the second air guide plate 122B can rotate relative to the housing 110 to pre-adjust the air outlet direction and air outlet range of the air conditioner 100. At this time, the air outlet area of ​​the first air outlet area 1121 and the second air outlet area 1122 can be adjusted by sliding the first roller blind assembly 130A and the second roller blind assembly 130B.

[0043] Optionally, the roller blind assembly 130 may include a transmission device 131, a drive motor 1322, and a motor bracket 1321. For an example, please refer to [link to example]. Figures 6-8 , Figure 6 for Figure 1 The diagram shown illustrates the overall structure of the baffle. Figure 7 This is a schematic diagram of the connection structure between the roller shutter assembly and the baffle provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 8 This is a schematic diagram of the assembly structure of the roller shutter assembly and baffle provided in the embodiments of this application.

[0044] The transmission device 131 and the drive motor 1322 are respectively disposed on both sides of the motor bracket 1321. The baffle 121 may include a connecting plate 125 and an extension 1241. The connecting plate 125 is disposed on the side of the baffle 121 facing the transmission device 131 and connected to the motor bracket 1321. The extension 1241 may be disposed at one end of the baffle 121. At the same time, one end of the transmission device 131 passes through the motor bracket 1321 and is connected to the drive motor 1322, while the other end is rotatably connected to the extension 1241. It is understood that in other embodiments, the extension 1241 may also be provided with a through hole 1242. The end of the transmission device 131 rotatably connected to the extension 1241 may pass through the through hole 1242, and the through hole 1242 can initially limit the transmission device 131, so that the transmission device 131 will not lose its position when rotating.

[0045] In addition, such as Figure 8As shown, the transmission device 131 may include a first rotating shaft 1311 and a first sleeve 1312. The first rotating shaft 1311 and the first sleeve 1312 are both disposed between the drive motor 1322 and the extension 1241. One end of the first rotating shaft 1311 is connected to the drive motor 1322, and the other end is rotatably connected to the extension 1241. The first sleeve 1312 is sleeved on the first rotating shaft 1311. At the same time, the roller shutter 133 is also connected to the first sleeve 1312. Thus, when the drive device 132 drives the first rotating shaft 1311 to rotate, the first rotating shaft 1311 can drive the first sleeve 1312 to rotate, and the first sleeve 1312 can drive the roller shutter 133 to slide relative to the housing 110, so as to realize the adjustment of the air outlet 112 air outlet range by the roller shutter 133.

[0046] It is understood that in this embodiment, the first rotating shaft 1311 and the first sleeve 1312 can be fixedly connected or interference-fitted, so as to achieve the purpose of the first rotating shaft 1311 driving the first sleeve 1312 to rotate.

[0047] At the same time, please combine Figure 9 and Figure 10 , Figure 9 This is a schematic diagram of the transmission connection between the first and second rotating shafts provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 10 This is a schematic diagram of the assembly structure of the first rotating shaft, the second rotating shaft, the roller shutter, and the rocker arm provided in the embodiments of this application.

[0048] For example, the roller blind assembly 130 may also include a second rotating shaft 134 and a second sleeve 136, the second sleeve 136 being sleeved on the second rotating shaft 134, the second rotating shaft 134 and the second sleeve 136 being disposed on the side of the first rotating shaft 1311 away from the baffle 121, and the second rotating shaft 134 being throttle connected to the first rotating shaft 1311.

[0049] In this embodiment, a second rotating shaft 134 and a second sleeve 136 are provided on the side of the first rotating shaft 1311 away from the baffle 121, and the second rotating shaft 134 is connected to the first rotating shaft 1311. This allows the roller blind assembly 130 to slide to adjust the area of ​​the first air outlet area 1121 and the second air outlet area 1122. Not only can the roller blind 133 be straightened by the second rotating shaft 134 and the second sleeve 136 to prevent it from falling off during the sliding process and causing air leakage, but the first rotating shaft 1311, the second rotating shaft 134 and the roller blind 133 can also form an angle, thereby rolling up the slid roller blind 133 to the vicinity of the first sleeve 1312 to save the volume inside the receiving cavity 111.

[0050] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, a first gear 1313 may be provided at one end of the first rotating shaft 1311 near the motor bracket, and a second gear 1341 may be provided at one end of the second rotating shaft 134. The roller blind assembly 130 also includes a transmission chain 135, which is connected to the first gear 1313 and the second gear 1341. This allows the first rotating shaft 1311 to rotate when the driving device 132 drives it to rotate, and the first rotating shaft 1311 can drive the second rotating shaft 134 to rotate through the transmission chain 135, thereby further improving the rolling efficiency of the roller blind 133.

[0051] In addition, such as Figure 9 As shown, the roller blind assembly 130 may further include multiple rollers 137, which are sleeved on the second sleeve 136 and abut against the roller blind 133. This allows the multiple rollers 137 to contact the roller blind 133 and provide support when the roller blind assembly 130 slides, thereby preventing the roller blind 133 from deforming due to uneven force at turns and causing it to jam. Simultaneously, as... Figure 10 As shown, the roller blind assembly 130 may also include a rocker arm 138. One end of the rocker arm 138 is connected to the first sleeve 1312, and the other end is connected to the side of the roller blind 133 closest to the first sleeve 1312. The rocker arm 138 is tilted to the side of the roller blind 133 closest to the first sleeve 1312, so that the roller blind 133 closest to the first sleeve 1312 can be as flush as possible with the first sleeve 1312 along the central axis of the width direction of the roller blind 133. This allows the roller blind 133 to be rolled up in a tangential direction (i.e., the first sleeve 1312 along the width direction of the roller blind 133) when sliding, thereby improving the rolling efficiency of the roller blind 133 and minimizing the volume of the roller blind 133 after rolling up.

[0052] It is understood that this embodiment does not limit the distance between the first rotating shaft 1311 and the second rotating shaft 134. Preferably, the distance D1 between the first rotating shaft 1311 and the second rotating shaft 134 is 20mm to 300mm (that is, the distance between the first rotating shaft 1311 and the second rotating shaft 134 is within the width of 3 blades), so that the space inside the receiving cavity 111 can be saved as much as possible without affecting the rolling of the roller blind 133.

[0053] Optionally, the housing 110 includes a first side portion 113 and a second side portion 114 disposed opposite each other along the length direction of the air outlet 112. For example, please refer to... Figure 1 , Figure 6 And see Figure 11 , Figure 11 This is a schematic diagram of the assembly structure of the baffle and the shell provided in the embodiment of this application.

[0054] In this embodiment, in order to achieve a detachable connection between the baffle 121 and the housing 110, a buckle 1131 is provided on the first side 113, and a first magnetic attraction device 1141 is provided on the second side 114. A protrusion 1231 is provided on the end of the baffle 121 facing the first side 113, and a second magnetic attraction device 1243 is provided on the side of the extension 1241 facing the second side 114. When the baffle 121 is fixedly connected to the housing 110, the protrusion 1231 can be engaged with the buckle 1131, and the second magnetic attraction device 1243 can be magnetically connected to the first magnetic attraction device 1141. When it is necessary to disassemble the baffle 121, the protrusion 1231 and the buckle 1131 can be separated, and the second magnetic attraction device 1243 and the first magnetic attraction device 1141 can be separated, thereby easily achieving the separation of the baffle 121 and the housing 110.

[0055] In this embodiment, the baffle 121 is detachably mounted from the housing 110, which allows the user to easily select the air outlet range. That is, when the user does not need air to be discharged from the central area of ​​the air outlet 112, the baffle 121 can be mounted on the housing 110 to limit the air discharge from the central area of ​​the air outlet 112; while when the user needs air to be discharged from the central area of ​​the air outlet 112, the baffle 121 can be removed from the housing 110 to expand the air outlet range of the air outlet 112.

[0056] Optionally, both the first side portion 113 and the second side portion 114 are provided with grooves. For example, as shown... Figure 4 As shown, both sides of the roller blind 133 can be set in the slide groove. That is, the side of the roller blind 133 closer to the first side 113 can be set in the first slide groove 1132, and the side of the roller blind 133 closer to the second side 114 can be set in the second slide groove 1142. This not only limits the roller blind 133 when it slides, ensuring the accuracy of the displacement of the roller blind 133 when it slides, but also overcomes the problem that the roller blind 133, as a flexible material, is prone to deformation under external impact when the air conditioner 100 is transported or in a collision state.

[0057] Optional, please refer to Figure 12 , Figure 12 This is another structural schematic diagram of the roller blind assembly provided in an embodiment of this application. In another embodiment of this application, the transmission device 131 may only include a first rotating shaft 1311, one end of which is connected to a drive motor 1322, and the other end is rotatably connected to an extension 1241. The roller blind 133 is connected to the first rotating shaft 1311, so that the first rotating shaft 1311 can be driven to rotate by the drive motor 1322 to achieve the rolling up of the roller blind 133.

[0058] It is understood that the roller blind assembly 130 in another embodiment of this application may further include a rocker arm 138. One end of the rocker arm 138 is connected to the first rotating shaft 1311, and the other end is connected to the side of the roller blind 133 closest to the first rotating shaft 1311. The rocker arm 138 is tilted to the side of the roller blind 133 closest to the first rotating shaft 1311, so that the roller blind 133 closest to the first rotating shaft 1311 can be as flush as possible with the central axis of the first rotating shaft 1311 along the width direction of the roller blind 133. This allows the roller blind 133 to be rolled up in a tangential direction (i.e., the first rotating shaft 1311 along the width direction of the roller blind 133) when sliding, thereby improving the rolling efficiency of the roller blind 133 and minimizing the volume of the roller blind 133 after rolling up.

[0059] In the above embodiments, the descriptions of each embodiment have different focuses. For parts not described in detail in a certain embodiment, please refer to the relevant descriptions in other embodiments.

[0060] In the description of this application, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, features defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more features.
