[0037] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0038] In related technologies, air conditioners using a single cross-flow air guide tube can only select the air outlet in the left and right directions, and the air outlet area cannot be adjusted. As a result, air conditioners using a single cross-flow air guide tube have a small air outlet range that can be covered, and the area that can be swept is limited. The air conditioner is difficult to adapt to a wide range of air outlet angle adjustments.

[0039] The following is for reference. Figures 1-10 An air conditioner 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention is described.

[0040] The air conditioner according to the present invention includes a housing 11 and an air guiding mechanism 12. The housing 11 has an air duct 111 for accommodating the impeller 112. A return air inlet communicating with the air duct 111 is formed on the housing 11. A heat exchanger is provided inside the housing 11 and is positioned opposite the return air inlet. Airflow enters the housing 11 through the return air inlet, passes through the heat exchanger, completes heat exchange, and then enters the air duct 111. The airflow after heat exchange is circulated under the action of the impeller 112.

[0041] The air guiding mechanism 12 includes an air guide frame 121, which is provided with an air guide inlet 1211 and an air guide outlet. The air guide inlet 1211 is connected to the outlet of the air duct 111. It can be understood that after the airflow passes through the air duct 111, it enters the air guide frame 121 through the air guide inlet 1211 and is discharged from the air guide outlet. The air guiding mechanism 12 is used to change the direction of the airflow and thus adjust the air outlet range of the air conditioner.

[0042] In the air conditioner of the present invention, by movably arranging the air guide frame 121 relative to the housing 11, the air guide outlet provided on the air guide frame 121 can select the air guiding direction. In addition, since at least a portion of the air guide frame 121 is housed in the air duct 111, when the air guide frame 121 moves relative to the housing 11, the portion of the air guide frame 121 housed in the air duct 111 can leave the air duct 111 and protrude from the housing 11, thereby changing the air outlet direction and increasing the air outlet area.

[0043] Specifically, when the air guide frame 121 is fully contained within the air duct 111, the air outlet portion is directly opposite the air duct 111. When the air guide frame 121 moves to protrude from the housing 11, the air outlet will no longer be directly opposite the inner wall of the air duct 111, thus increasing the air outlet area and expanding the sweeping range covered by the air conditioner.

[0044] According to the air conditioner of the present invention, the air guide mechanism 12 is movably disposed on the housing 11, so that the air guide mechanism 12 can be selectively housed in the air duct 111, and the air outlet area can be controlled according to the user's needs. When the air guide frame 121 moves to protrude from the housing 11, the area of ​​the air outlet is larger, which improves the air sweeping range of the air conditioner. When the air guide frame 121 moves to be housed in the air duct 111, the air conditioner is small in size, beautiful and easy to arrange.

[0045] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the air guide frame 121 includes a first air guide frame 122 and a second air guide frame 123. The first air guide frame 122 and the second air guide frame 123 can be configured as the base plate of the air guide outlet, that is, the first air guide frame 122 and the second air guide frame 123 are both disposed in the downstream section of the air duct 111, and the airflow passes through the first air guide frame 122 and the second air guide frame 123 and blows into the room. The air guide outlet is configured to be multiple and includes a first air guide outlet 1221 and a second air guide outlet 1231. The first air guide outlet 1221 is disposed on the first air guide frame 122, and the second air guide outlet 1231 is disposed on the second air guide frame 123. When the air guide frame 121 moves to be housed in the air duct 111, the second air guide frame 123 is directly opposite the inner wall of the air duct 111. At this time, only the first air guide outlet 1221 disposed on the first air guide frame 122 delivers air into the air guide frame 121. When the air guide bracket moves to protrude from the housing 11, both the first air guide frame 122 and the second air guide frame 123 face the room, and both the first air guide outlet 1221 and the second air guide outlet 1231 can be used for air supply.

[0046] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the first air guide frame 122 is inclined relative to the second air guide frame 123. This can be understood as follows: when the air guide frame 121 moves to protrude from the housing 11, the first air guide frame 122 and the second air guide frame 123 have different orientations. Therefore, the first air guide outlet 1221 on the first air guide frame 122 and the second air guide outlet 1231 on the second air guide frame 123 can deliver air in two directions. Furthermore, since the first air guide outlet 1221 and the second air guide outlet 1231 open in directions away from each other, the air delivery area of ​​the air conditioner can be further expanded, and the overlap between the areas covered by the first air guide outlet 1221 and the second air guide outlet 1231 is smaller, reducing the cancellation of airflow velocities.

[0047] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the air outlet direction of the first air outlet 1221 is adjustable. A first air guide can be provided at the first air outlet 1221. The first air guide can be used to adjust the air outlet direction of the first air outlet 1221, thereby expanding the area that can be covered by the air outlet of the first air outlet 1221, and making the air outlet range within the area covered by the first air outlet 1221 adjustable; and / or the air outlet direction of the second air outlet 1231 is adjustable. A second air guide can be provided at the second air outlet 1231. The second air guide can be used to adjust the air outlet direction of the second air outlet 1231, thereby expanding the area that can be covered by the air outlet of the second air outlet 1231, and making the air outlet range within the area covered by the second air outlet 1231 adjustable.

[0048] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the first air guide is constructed as a first grille 124. The first grille 124 is rotatably disposed on the first air guide frame 122 of the air guide frame 121. The extending direction of the first grille 124 is the same as the length direction of the first air guide outlet 1221. The first grille 124 is constructed as a plurality of them. The plurality of first grilles 124 are connected to each other by a connecting rod. The rotation of one of the first grilles 124 drives the plurality of first grilles 124 to rotate, thereby changing the air outlet direction of the first air guide outlet 1221.

[0049] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the second air guide is constructed as a second grille 125. The second grille 125 is rotatably disposed on the second air guide frame 123 of the air guide frame 121. The extending direction of the second grille 125 is the same as the length direction of the second air guide outlet 1231. The second grille 125 is constructed as a plurality of them. The plurality of second grilles 125 are connected to each other by a connecting rod. The rotation of one second grille 125 drives the plurality of second grilles 125 to rotate, thereby changing the air outlet direction of the second air guide outlet 1231.

[0050] It should be noted that the first grille 124 can optionally be rotated to a position perpendicular to the air outlet direction of the first air outlet 1221, and multiple first grilles 124 overlap each other to close the first air outlet 1221. Similarly, the second grille 125 can optionally be rotated to a position perpendicular to the air outlet direction of the second air outlet 1231, and multiple second grilles 125 overlap each other to close the second air outlet 1231.

[0051] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the first grille 124 is provided with air guide micro-holes. When the multiple first grilles 124 rotate to close the first air guide outlet 1221, the airflow flows out through the air guide micro-holes, thereby improving the air pressure of the airflow and realizing the windless airflow of the first air guide outlet 1221, enriching the air outlet mode of the air conditioner, reducing the user's wind sensation, and improving the user's practical experience.

[0052] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the second grille 125 is provided with air guide micro-holes. When the multiple second grilles 125 rotate to close the second air guide outlet 1231, the airflow flows out through the air guide micro-holes, thereby improving the air pressure of the airflow and realizing the windless airflow of the second air guide outlet 1231, enriching the air outlet mode of the air conditioner, reducing the user's wind sensation, and improving the user's practical experience.

[0053] According to one embodiment of the present invention, in a specific embodiment, the air guide frame 121 is rotatably mounted on the housing 11. Alternatively, the air guide frame 121 can be moved to the outside of the air duct 111 by translation to protrude from the housing 11. The pivot axis of the air guide frame 121 and the extension direction of the first air outlet 1221 are the same and can both extend in the height direction. Rotation of the air guide frame 121 around the pivot axis allows adjustment of the air outlet angle in the horizontal plane. The second air guide frame 123 is constructed as an arc-shaped plate and protrudes towards the side away from the pivot axis. The sidewall inside the air duct 111 that mates with the second air outlet is constructed as an arc-shaped sidewall with the same curvature as the second air guide frame 123 to avoid interference during the rotation of the air guide frame 121.

[0054] Furthermore, the second air guide frame 123 is constructed as an arc-shaped plate, which increases the air outlet range corresponding to the second air guide outlet 1231 on the second air guide frame 123, thus helping to expand the sweep range of the air conditioner.

[0055] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the air duct 111 includes an inner section and an outer section of the air duct 111 connected in sequence. The inner section of the air duct 111 has a first air duct wall and a second air duct wall spaced apart from each other, and the distance between the first air duct wall and the second air duct wall gradually increases. The outer section of the air duct 111 is provided with a third air duct wall and a fourth air duct wall. The third air duct wall is directly opposite the pivot axis of the air guide frame 121 and has a flat wall surface. The fourth air duct wall has an arc-shaped wall surface and is directly opposite the second air guide frame 123. The fourth air duct wall is connected to the second air duct wall and a step portion for limiting the air guide frame 121 is formed between the fourth air duct wall and the second air duct wall.

[0056] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the air conditioner further includes a first drive motor 131, which is disposed outside the air guide frame 121. The output end of the first drive motor 131 can extend into the air guide frame 121. The output end of the first drive motor 131 is connected to the first grille 124 and / or the second grille 125. The first drive motor 131 is used to drive the rotation of the first grille 124 or the second grille 125 to adjust the air outlet direction of the first air outlet 1221 and the air outlet direction of the second air outlet 1231.

[0057] The air conditioner also includes a second drive motor 132, which is mounted on the housing 11 and its output end is connected to the air guide mechanism 12 for driving the air guide mechanism 12 to move.

[0058] In some embodiments, the output end of the second motor can reciprocate linearly to drive the air guide frame 121 to translate. A guide rail can be provided in the air duct 111. The air guide frame 121 is provided with a protrusion that cooperates with the guide rail to limit the direction of movement of the air guide frame 121 and realize the translation of the air guide frame 121. The second motor is used to drive the air guide frame 121 to protrude out or be housed in the air duct 111.

[0059] In some embodiments, the output end of the second motor outputs torque to drive the air guide frame 121 to rotate, thereby causing the air guide frame 121 to rotate to protrude from or be contained within the air duct 111. When protruding from the housing 11, the air outlet area of ​​the air guide frame 121 is increased, and when contained within the air duct 111, the air outlet area of ​​the air guide frame 121 is reduced.

[0060] According to one embodiment of the present invention, a first wire harness bracket 141 is provided on the air guide frame 121, and a first drive motor 131 is located on the air guide frame 121 and is used to drive the grille to rotate; a second wire harness bracket 151 is provided on the housing of the second drive motor 132, the second drive motor 132 is used to drive the air guide frame 121 to rotate, and is located near the pivot center of the air guide frame 121. The second wire harness bracket 151 can be adjacent to the pivot center of the air guide frame 121, and the electrical connection wire harness is electrically connected to the first drive motor 131 through the second wire harness bracket 151 and the first wire harness bracket 141 in sequence.

[0061] Since the first drive motor 131 is mounted on the air guide frame 121 and is used to drive the rotation of the first grille 124 or the second grille 125, the first drive motor 131 will move with the movement of the air guide frame 121. This causes the wiring harness that powers the first drive motor 131 to reciprocate and easily come into contact with other components, generating abnormal noise. To address this, this application provides a first wiring harness bracket 141 and a second wiring harness bracket 151 to restrict the wiring harness connected to the first drive motor 131. The first wiring harness bracket 141 is mounted on the housing of the first drive motor 131, while the second wiring harness bracket 151 is located near the pivot center of the air guide frame 121. The distance between the first wiring harness bracket 141 and the second wiring harness bracket 151 remains constant during the rotation of the air guide frame 121, thereby preventing the wiring harness between the first wiring harness bracket 141 and the second wiring harness from shifting.

[0062] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the first wire harness bracket 141 includes a first support plate 142 and a first locking block 144. The first support plate 142 is provided with locking feet 143 spaced apart from each other. The first locking block 144 is provided with a wire harness hole. The first locking block 144 can be pre-fitted onto the wire harness. An installation groove 1441 that mates with the locking feet 143 is also formed on the outer periphery of the first locking block 144. The first locking block 144 is fitted between the two locking feet 143. At least a portion of the locking feet 143 is received in the installation groove 1441. By providing locking feet 143 and locking blocks for mates with the first wire harness on the support plate, the wire harness can be effectively fixed. At the same time, the wire harness is easy to disassemble, which greatly improves the convenience of maintenance of electrical components in the air conditioner.

[0063] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the second wire harness bracket 151 includes a second support plate 152 and a second locking block 154. The second support plate 152 is provided with locking feet 153 spaced apart from each other. The second locking block 154 is provided with a wire harness hole and can be pre-fitted onto the wire harness. An installation groove 1541 that mates with the locking feet 153 is also formed on the outer periphery of the second locking block 154. The second locking block 154 is fitted between the two locking feet 153, and at least a portion of the locking feet 153 is received in the installation groove 1541. By providing locking feet 153 and locking blocks for mates with the second wire harness on the support plate, the wire harness can be effectively fixed. At the same time, the wire harness is easy to disassemble, which greatly improves the convenience of maintenance of electrical components in the air conditioner.

[0064] According to one embodiment of the present invention, a first limiting protrusion 145 is provided on the side of the first support plate 142 facing the housing 11. A first arc-shaped track is formed on the housing 11. The first limiting protrusion 145 is embedded in the first arc-shaped track. In order to keep the rotation trajectory of the air guide frame 121 stable during the rotation process, the first limiting protrusion 145 is provided to cooperate with the first arc-shaped track on the housing 11 to keep the rotation direction of the air guide frame 121 stable. Integrating the first limiting protrusion 145 into the first support plate 142 can improve the integration of components. The first support plate 142 can be fixed to the air guide frame 121 by fasteners. The first limiting protrusion 145 and the support of the air guide frame 121 do not need to be integrally formed, which reduces the assembly difficulty and also reduces the forming difficulty of the air guide frame 121.

[0065] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the air conditioner further includes a protective cover 16, which is fixed to the housing 11 and has a second arc-shaped track formed inside. The first arc-shaped track and the second arc-shaped track are arranged opposite each other. A second limiting protrusion 146 is provided on the side of the first support plate 142 away from the housing 11. The second limiting protrusion 146 can be embedded in the second arc-shaped track. The second arc-shaped track is used to further limit the rotation trajectory of the air guide frame 121 and further improve the stability of the air guide frame 121 when rotating.

[0066] The following is a brief description of an air conditioner according to a specific embodiment of the present invention.

[0067] The air conditioner according to the present invention includes a housing 11 and an air guide mechanism 12. The housing 11 has an air duct 111 for accommodating the impeller 112. A return air inlet communicating with the air duct 111 is formed on the housing 11. A heat exchanger is disposed inside the housing 11 and is disposed opposite to the return air inlet. An air guide frame 121 is movably disposed on the housing and at least partially disposed in the air duct. The air guide frame 121 is provided with an air guide inlet 1211 and an air guide outlet. The air guide inlet 1211 communicates with the outlet of the air duct 111. The air guide frame 121 includes a first air guide frame 122 and a second air guide frame 123. That is, the first air guide frame 122 and the second air guide frame 123 are both disposed in the downstream section of the air duct 111. The airflow passes through the first air guide frame 122 and the second air guide frame 123 and is blown into the room.

[0068] The first air outlet 1221 is disposed on the first air guide frame 122, and the second air outlet 1231 is disposed on the second air guide frame 123. The first air guide frame 122 is inclined relative to the second air guide frame 123. A first air guide component can be disposed at the first air outlet 1221, which can be used to adjust the air outlet direction of the first air outlet 1221. A second air guide component can be disposed at the second air outlet 1231, which can be used to adjust the air outlet direction of the second air outlet 1231.

[0069] The air conditioner also includes a first drive motor 131, which is disposed outside the air guide frame 121. The output end of the first drive motor 131 can extend into the air guide frame 121, and the output end of the first drive motor 131 is connected to the first grille 124 and / or the second grille 125. The air conditioner also includes a second drive motor 132, which is disposed on the housing 11 and its output end is connected to the air guide mechanism 12 for driving the air guide mechanism 12 to move. The output end of the second motor outputs torque to drive the air guide frame 121 to rotate, thereby causing the air guide frame 121 to rotate to protrude or be contained within the air duct 111. When protruding from the housing 11, the air outlet area of ​​the air guide frame 121 is increased; when contained within the air duct 111, the air outlet area of ​​the air guide frame 121 is reduced.

[0070] The air guide frame 121 is provided with a first wire harness bracket 141, and the housing of the second drive motor 132 is provided with a second wire harness bracket 151. The first wire harness bracket 141 and the second wire harness bracket 151 are used to restrict the wire harness connected to the first drive motor 131. The first wire harness bracket 141 is provided on the housing of the first drive motor 131, while the second wire harness bracket 151 is provided near the pivot center of the air guide frame 121. The distance between the first wire harness bracket 141 and the second wire harness bracket 151 remains unchanged during the rotation of the air guide frame 121, thereby preventing the wire harness between the first wire harness bracket 141 and the second wire harness from shifting.

[0071] The first wiring harness bracket 141 includes a first support plate 142 and a first locking block 144. The first support plate 142 is provided with locking feet 143 spaced apart from each other. The first locking block 144 is provided with a wiring harness hole. The second wiring harness bracket 151 includes a second support plate 152 and a second locking block 154. The second support plate 152 is provided with locking feet 153 spaced apart from each other. The second locking block 154 is provided with a wiring harness hole. The first support plate 142 is provided with a first limiting protrusion 145 on the side facing the housing 11. A first arc-shaped track is formed on the housing 11. The air conditioner also includes a protective cover. The protective cover is fixed to the housing 11 and has a second arc-shaped track formed inside it. The first arc-shaped track and the second arc-shaped track are directly opposite each other. The first support plate 142 is provided with a second limiting protrusion 146 on the side away from the housing 11. The second limiting protrusion 146 can be embedded in the second arc-shaped track.

[0072] In summary, the air conditioner of this application includes a casing 11 and an air guide frame 121. An air duct 111 is formed inside the casing 11. The air guide frame 121 is movably mounted on the casing 11, allowing it to selectively switch between being housed within the air duct 111 or protruding from the casing 11. When the air guide frame 121 is housed within the air duct 111, it occupies less space and has a smaller air outlet range, with the air outlet on the air guide frame 121 directly facing the inner wall of the air duct 111. When the air guide frame 121 protrudes from the air duct 111, it occupies more space but has a wider air outlet range, with all the air outlets on the air guide frame 121 exposed, thus expanding the coverage area of ​​the air conditioner's airflow. Furthermore, by setting a first wiring harness bracket 141 on the air guide plate 121 and a second wiring harness on the second drive motor 132, the problem of power supply wiring harness movement caused by the movement of the air guide plate is directly solved. The distance between the first wiring harness bracket 141 and the second wiring harness bracket 151 remains fixed, and the wiring harness will not move between the first wiring harness bracket 141 and the second wiring harness bracket 151, which improves the overall integrity of the air conditioner, reduces abnormal noise, and optimizes the quality of the air conditioner.
