DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0039] In order to better understand and implement, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in combination with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application.

[0040] In the description of the present application, it should be noted that the orientations or positional relationships indicated by the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer" and the like are based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the drawings, and are only for the purpose of facilitating the description of the present application and simplifying the description, and therefore cannot be understood as indicating or implying that the devices or elements referred to must have a particular orientation, be constructed and operated in a particular orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as limiting the present application.

[0041] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which the present application belongs. The terminology used in the specification of the present application herein is only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and is not intended to limit the present application.

[0042] Embodiment 1:

[0043] The accompanying drawings are referred to in order to better understand and implement the present application. Figures 1-12The present invention describes an air guide module 100 and an air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present invention. The air conditioner may be a wall-mounted air conditioner, a floor-standing air conditioner, a ceiling-mounted air conditioner, or a recessed air conditioner; the following description uses a floor-standing air conditioner as an example.

[0044] like Figure 1 As shown, the air guiding module 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes at least two air guiding columns 11; at least one rotational movement module 12 and at least one drive module 13; wherein the rotational movement module 12 is used by the drive module 13 to drive one of the air guiding columns 11 to rotate, and / or the two air guiding columns 11 to move in opposite directions.

[0045] According to the embodiment of the present invention, the air guide module 100 increases the distance between two air guide columns 11 by moving multiple air guide columns 11 in opposite directions. This not only increases the amount of air output, thereby adjusting the amount of air output, but also adjusts the air output direction and the air output frequency to a suitable range, thereby improving the user's comfort when blowing air.

[0046] It is understandable that at least two air guide columns 11 are arranged to open / close the air outlet. When the air outlet is closed, the two air guide columns 11 are abutted and laid flat. To switch from the closed air outlet state to the open air outlet state, it is only necessary to rotate one of the air guide columns 11 to open the air outlet.

[0047] Of course, the number of air guide columns 11 can be three, four, or five, etc., and there is no restriction here.

[0048] According to some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 1 As shown, there are two rotating moving modules 12 and two driving modules 13, which are used to drive the two air guide columns 11 to rotate in opposite directions; a rotating moving module 12 and a driving module 13 are provided at the top and bottom of the air guide column 11 respectively.

[0049] Therefore, in order to improve the stability of the air guide column 11 during rotation and movement, two rotation and movement modules 12 and two drive modules 13 are set up to synchronously drive the air guide column 11 to rotate and move in opposite directions, so as to make the movement of the air guide column 11 more stable.

[0050] According to some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figures 2-4As shown, the rotating moving module 12 comprises: a first moving plate 121; a first rack 124 slidingly connected to the first moving plate 121; and at least one first driving gear 126 and at least one first driven gear 127 engaged with each other, the first driving gear 126 and the first driven gear 127 being rotatably connected to the first moving plate 121, the first driving gear 126 being engaged with the first rack 124; one air guide column 11 is driven to rotate by the first driven gear 127; the driving module 13 is used to drive the first moving plate 121 and the first rack 124 to move in a perpendicular direction respectively.

[0051] Thus, in order to realize the reverse rotation of the air guide column 11 and the miniaturization of the module, by setting the first rack 124, the first driving gear 126 and the first driven gear 127, not only can the air outlet be opened and closed, but also the structure is compact, the volume of the parts is small, and the miniaturization of the module is realized.

[0052] According to some embodiments of the present application, as Figures 2-5 As shown, the driving module 13 comprises: a motor 131; a driving gear 132 provided on the output end of the motor 131; and a third rack 133 engaged with the driving gear 132; a first connecting rod 135, both ends of the first connecting rod 135 being respectively pivoted between the third rack 133 and the first rack 124; a first pushing part 137 provided on the third rack 133; the first pushing part 137 comprises a first distal end abutting plate 1371 and a first proximal end abutting plate 1372, and a first connecting plate 1373 is provided between the first distal end abutting plate 1371 and the first proximal end abutting plate 1372; the top of the first moving plate 121 is provided with a first abutting part 1211; wherein when the first pushing part 137 moves, the first distal end abutting plate 1371 and the first proximal end abutting plate 1372 abut against the first abutting part 1211 and the first moving plate 121 respectively, thereby pushing the first moving plate 121 to move.

[0053] Thus, in order to realize the reverse rotation and reverse movement of the air guide column 11, by the driving gear 132, the third rack 133, the first connecting rod 135, the first pushing part 137, the first distal end abutting plate 1371, the first proximal end abutting plate 1372, the first connecting plate 1373 and the first abutting part 1211, the air guide column 11 rotates reversely before the first pushing part 137 abuts against the first moving plate 121 or the first abutting part 1211, and the air guide column 11 moves reversely after the first pushing part 137 abuts against the first moving plate 121 or the first abutting part 1211.

[0054] Moreover, the reverse rotation and reverse movement of the air guide column 11 can be realized by one motor 131, not only the structure is compact, the space occupied by the parts is reduced, but also the energy can be effectively saved.

[0055] According to some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figures 6-9 The rotating moving module 12 further comprises a second moving plate 122, a second rack 125 slidingly connected to the second moving plate 122, and at least one second driving gear 128 and at least one second driven gear 129 in engagement, the second driving gear 128 and the second driven gear 129 being rotatably connected to the second moving plate 122, the second driving gear 128 being engaged with the second rack 125, the first driving gear 126 and the second driving gear 128 being arranged in a spaced apart manner, and the driving module 13 being configured to drive the second moving plate 122 and the second rack 125 to move in a perpendicular direction, respectively.

[0056] Thus, in order to improve the stability of the reverse rotation of the air guiding column 11, the first rack 124 and the second rack 125 are arranged to move in opposite directions by arranging the second moving plate 122, the second rack 125, the second driving gear 128, and the second driven gear 129, so that the reverse rotation of the air guiding column 11 can be effectively improved in stability when driving the reverse rotation of the air guiding column 11, since the top and bottom of the air guiding column 11 are both provided with the first rack 124 and the second rack 125.

[0057] According to some embodiments of the present application, the driving module 13 further comprises a fourth rack 134, the driving gear 132 being engaged between the third rack 133 and the fourth rack 134, a second connecting rod 136, both ends of the second connecting rod 136 being pivotally connected between the fourth rack 134 and the second rack 125, a second pushing part 138, the second pushing part 138 being arranged on the fourth rack 134, the second pushing part 138 comprising a second distal end abutting plate 1381 and a second proximal end abutting plate 1382, a second connecting plate 1383 being arranged between the second distal end abutting plate 1381 and the second proximal end abutting plate 1382, a top of the second moving plate 122 being provided with a second abutting part 1221, and when the second pushing part 138 moves, the second distal end abutting plate 1381 and the second proximal end abutting plate 1382 abut against the second abutting part 1221 and the second moving plate 122, respectively, thereby pushing the second moving plate 122 to move.

[0058] Thus, in order to improve the stability of the reverse movement of the air guide column 11, by setting the fourth rack 134, the second connecting rod 136, the second pushing part 138, the second distal end abutting plate 1381, the second proximal end abutting plate 1382, the second connecting plate 1383 and the second abutting part 1221, the air guide column 11 rotates reversely before the second pushing part 138 abuts against the second moving plate 122 or the second abutting part 1221, and the air guide column 11 moves reversely after the second pushing part 138 abuts against the second moving plate 122 or the second abutting part 1221. Moreover, the reverse rotation and the reverse movement of the air guide column 11 can be realized by one motor 131, which not only has a compact structure and reduces the space occupied by the parts, but also effectively saves energy.

[0059] According to some embodiments of the present application, the first connecting rod 135 is pivotally connected to the bottom of the first rack 124, and the second connecting rod 136 is pivotally connected to the top of the second rack 125; the first connecting rod 135 and the second connecting rod 136 are located on the same horizontal plane.

[0060] Thus, in order to improve the compactness of the structure, by setting the positions of the first connecting rod 135 and the second connecting rod, the structure is compact, so as to realize the miniaturization of the module.

[0061] According to some embodiments of the present application, the rotary movement module 12 further comprises a frame 120, the opposite inner sides of the frame 120 are recessed with first sliding grooves 1201, the first moving plate 121 and the second moving plate 122 are slidingly connected in the first sliding grooves 1201; the opposite faces of the first moving plate 121 and the second moving plate 122 are recessed with second sliding grooves 123, the first rack 124 is slidingly connected in the second sliding groove 123 of the first moving plate 121, and the second rack 125 is slidingly connected in the second sliding groove 123 of the second moving plate 122.

[0062] Thus, by setting the first sliding grooves 1201 and the second sliding grooves 123, the sliding efficiency of the first moving plate 121, the second moving plate 122, the first rack 124 and the second rack 125 is improved, and dislocation is avoided. Moreover, the structure related to the first moving plate 121 and the second moving plate 122 is installed in the frame 120, which has a compact structure and realizes the miniaturization of the device.

[0063] According to some embodiments of the present application, the cross section of the air guide column 11 is D-shaped.

[0064] Thus, by setting the D-shaped air guide column 11, good anti-interference effect can be provided during rotation.

[0065] According to the air conditioner of the embodiments of the present application, the device body, the air outlet arranged on the device body and the air guide module 100 are provided, and the air guide module 100 is arranged in the air outlet.

[0066] Thus, by setting the device body, the air outlet and the air guide module 100, the air outlet size and the air outlet direction can be effectively adjusted.

[0067] More importantly, the present application only uses one motor 131 to realize the reverse rotation and reverse movement of the adjacent two air guide columns 11, compared with using multiple motors 131 or telescopic cylinders, the synchronization rate of the adjacent two air guide columns 11 can be better controlled, the reverse rotation and reverse movement synchronization rate is improved, and the interference of parts caused by low reverse rotation and reverse movement synchronization rate is avoided. Moreover, when replacing the motor 131, there is no need to re-adjust the synchronization condition as in the prior art using multiple motors 131, which improves the maintenance efficiency.

[0073] And the driving module 13 located below includes a mounting seat 130 fixedly connected with the frame 120, a motor 131 arranged in the mounting seat 130, a driving gear 132 arranged on the output end of the motor 131, a fourth rack 134 engaged with the driving gear 132 and slidingly connected in the mounting seat 130, a second pivot part 1342 provided at the front end of the fourth rack 134 (close to one end of the second moving plate 122), a second connecting rod 136 having two ends pivotally connected between the second pivot part 1342 of the fourth rack 134 and the second rack 125, the second connecting rod 136 being obliquely arranged, the second connecting rod 136 being pivotally connected to the top of the second rack 125, and a second pushing part 138 arranged on the second pivot part 1342 of the fourth rack 134, specifically, the second pushing part 138 includes a second distal end abutting plate 1381 and a second proximal end abutting plate 1382, a second connecting plate 1383 is arranged between the second distal end abutting plate 1381 and the second proximal end abutting plate 1382, the bottom of the second moving plate 122 is provided with a second abutting part 1221, and in the movement of the second pushing part 138, the second distal end abutting plate 1381 and the second proximal end abutting plate 1382 abut against the second abutting part 1221 and the second moving plate 122 respectively, thereby pushing the second moving plate 122 to reciprocate, and the second pushing part 138 is located at the bottom of the second moving plate 122.

[0074] The air conditioner according to the embodiment of the present application has three different states: a shutdown state, a start-up state and a staggered air outlet state, and the switching between the three states is realized through the specific structure of the air guide column 11 and the rotating moving module 12, as follows: (as the top and bottom of the four air guide columns 11 are provided with the rotating moving module 12, for the convenience of understanding, the rotating moving module 12 at the top is described)

[0075] When the air conditioner according to the embodiment of the present application is in the shutdown state, the four air guide columns 11 are arranged horizontally, and the adjacent two air guide columns 11 abut against each other or leave a gap of 1mm-2mm, so that the four air guide columns 11 form a horizontal spreading state, as shown in Figure 10 It can be understood that this can close the air outlet to reduce the amount of dust entering in the shutdown state.

[0076] When the air conditioner according to the embodiment of the present application is in the start-up state, the start-up state is switched from the shutdown state, at this time, the rotating moving module 12 can drive the adjacent air guide columns 11 to rotate reversely, as shown in Figure 11 The specific transmission path can be divided into two paths:

[0077] Transmission path one: The motor 131 located above starts—the driving gear 132 rotates—the third rack 133 moves forward—the first connecting rod 135 shifts to the left—the first rack 124 moves to the left—the first transmission gear 126 rotates clockwise—the first driven gear 127 rotates counterclockwise—the second and fourth air guide columns 11, which are spaced apart, rotate counterclockwise.

[0078] Transmission path two: The motor 131 located below starts—the driving gear 132 rotates—the fourth rack 134 moves backward—the second connecting rod 136 shifts to the right—the second rack 125 moves to the right—the second transmission gear 128 rotates counterclockwise—the second driven gear 129 rotates clockwise—the first and third air guide columns 11, which are spaced apart, rotate clockwise.

[0079] It is understandable that the first and second air guide columns 11 rotate in opposite directions, and the third and fourth air guide columns 11 also rotate in opposite directions. This can form an air outlet channel between adjacent air guide columns 11, thereby opening the air outlet for normal air cooling or heating.

[0080] When the indoor unit of the air conditioner in this embodiment of the invention is in the staggered air outlet state, the staggered air outlet state is switched from the on state. At this time, the rotating moving module 12 can drive the adjacent air guide column 11 to move in the opposite direction, such as... Figure 12 As shown, it can also be divided into two transmission paths:

[0081] Transmission path three: The third rack 133 located above continues to move forward—the first pushing part 137 moves forward—the first proximal abutment plate 1372 and the first moving plate 121 abut against each other—the first moving plate 121 is pushed forward—the first transmission gear 126 and the first driven gear 127 move forward—the second and fourth air guide columns 11 that are spaced apart move forward.

[0082] Transmission path four: The fourth rack 134 located below continues to move backward—the second pushing part 138 moves backward—the second distal abutting plate 1381 and the second abutting part 1221 abut against each other—the second moving plate 122 is pushed to move backward—the second transmission gear 128 and the second driven gear 129 move backward—the first and third air guide columns 11, which are spaced apart, move backward.

[0083] It is understandable that the second and fourth air guide columns 11 move forward, and the first and third air guide columns 11 move backward, so that the adjacent air guide columns 11 are staggered, thereby increasing the air volume at the air outlet and allowing the air volume to be adjusted according to actual needs.

[0084] Of course, the drive gear 132 can move in the opposite direction, so that the second and fourth air guide columns 11 that are spaced apart move backward, the first and third air guide columns 11 that are spaced apart move forward, the second and fourth air guide columns 11 that are spaced apart rotate clockwise, and the first and third air guide columns 11 that are spaced apart rotate counterclockwise, thus completing the sequential switching from staggered air outlet state to power-on state to power-off state.

[0085] Example 3:

[0086] The following is a reference appendix. Figure 1 as well as Figures 4-12 An air guide module 100 and an air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present invention are described.

[0087] An air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a device body and an air outlet disposed in the middle of the device body, wherein an air guide module 100 is disposed in the air outlet.

[0089] Among them, a pair of drive modules 13 arranged vertically have the same structure. The drive module 13 includes a mounting base 130, which is fixedly connected to the frame 120; a motor 131, which is disposed in the mounting base 130; a drive gear 132, which is disposed on the output end of the motor 131; and a third rack 133 and a fourth rack 134, with the drive gear 132 meshing between the third rack 133 and the fourth rack 134. The third rack 133 and the fourth rack 134 are both slidably connected in the mounting base 130. The front end of the third rack 133 (the end near the first moving plate 121) is provided with a first pivot part 1331, and the fourth rack 134... The front end (near the second movable plate 122) is provided with a second pivot portion 1342; and a first connecting rod 135 and a second connecting rod 136, the two ends of the first connecting rod 135 being pivotally connected between the first pivot portion 1331 of the third rack 133 and the first rack 124, respectively, and the two ends of the second connecting rod 136 being pivotally connected between the second pivot portion 1342 of the fourth rack 134 and the second rack 125; wherein, the first connecting rod 135 and the second connecting rod 136 are inclined and parallel; the first connecting rod 135 is pivotally connected to the bottom of the first rack 124, and the second connecting rod 136 is pivotally connected to the top of the second rack 125; and a first pushing part 137 and a second pushing part 138, the first pushing part 137... A first pivot portion 1331 is disposed on the third rack 133, and a second pushing portion 138 is disposed on the second pivot portion 1342 of the fourth rack 134; wherein, the first pushing portion 137 and the second pushing portion 138 have the same structure; specifically, the first pushing portion 137 includes a first distal abutment plate 1371 and a first proximal abutment plate 1372, a first connecting plate 1373 is disposed between the first distal abutment plate 1371 and the first proximal abutment plate 1372, and a first abutment portion 1211 is disposed on the top of the first moving plate 121. During the movement of the first pushing portion 137, the first distal abutment plate 1371 and the first proximal abutment plate 1372 abut against the first abutment portion 1211 and the first moving plate 121, respectively. This drives the first moving plate 121 to reciprocate; the first pushing part 137 is located at the top of the first moving plate 121; specifically, the second pushing part 138 includes a second distal abutment plate 1381 and a second proximal abutment plate 1382, a second connecting plate 1383 is provided between the second distal abutment plate 1381 and the second proximal abutment plate 1382, and a second abutment part 1221 is provided at the bottom of the second moving plate 122. During the movement of the second pushing part 138, the second distal abutment plate 1381 and the second proximal abutment plate 1382 abut against the second abutment part 1221 and the second moving plate 122 respectively, thereby driving the second moving plate 122 to reciprocate; the second pushing part 138 is located at the bottom of the second moving plate 122.

[0090] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the air conditioner has three different states—off state, on state, and staggered air outlet state. The switching between these three states is achieved through the specific structure of the air guide column 11 and the rotating moving module 12, as follows: (Since the rotating moving module 12 is provided at the top and bottom of the four air guide columns 11, for ease of understanding, the description will focus on the top rotating moving module 12.)

[0091] When the air conditioner of this embodiment is in the off state, all four air guide columns 11 are arranged horizontally, with adjacent air guide columns 11 abutting each other or having a gap of 1mm-2mm. Therefore, the four air guide columns 11 are laid out horizontally, as shown below. Figure 10 As shown; it can be understood that this closes the air outlet to reduce the amount of dust entering when the machine is off.

[0092] In this embodiment of the invention, when the air conditioner is in the on-state, the on-state is switched from the off-state. At this time, the rotating moving module 12 can drive the adjacent air guide column 11 to rotate in the opposite direction, such as... Figure 11 As shown, it can be divided into two transmission paths:

[0093] Transmission path 1: Motor 131 starts — drive gear 132 rotates — third rack 133 moves forward — first connecting rod 135 shifts to the left — first rack 124 moves to the left — first transmission gear 126 rotates clockwise — first driven gear 127 rotates counterclockwise — the second and fourth air guide columns 11 rotate counterclockwise.

[0094] Transmission path two: Motor 131 starts—drive gear 132 rotates—fourth rack 134 moves backward—second connecting rod 136 shifts to the right—second rack 125 moves to the right—second transmission gear 128 rotates counterclockwise—second driven gear 129 rotates clockwise—the first and third air guide columns 11 rotate clockwise.

[0095] Specifically, the first and second air guide columns 11 rotate in opposite directions, and the third and fourth air guide columns 11 also rotate in opposite directions. This creates an air outlet channel between adjacent air guide columns 11, thereby opening the air outlet for normal cooling or heating.

[0096] When the indoor unit of the air conditioner in this embodiment of the invention is in the staggered air outlet state, the staggered air outlet state is switched from the on state. At this time, the rotating moving module 12 can drive the adjacent air guide column 11 to move in the opposite direction, such as... Figure 12 As shown, it can also be divided into two transmission paths:

[0097] Transmission path three: The third rack 133 continues to move forward—the first pushing part 137 moves forward—the first proximal abutting plate 1372 and the first moving plate 121 abut against each other—the first moving plate 121 is pushed forward—the first transmission gear 126 and the first driven gear 127 move forward—the second and fourth air guide columns 11, which are spaced apart, move forward.

[0098] Transmission path four: The fourth rack 134 continues to move backward—the second pushing part 138 moves backward—the second distal abutting plate 1381 and the second abutting part 1221 abut against each other—the second moving plate 122 is pushed to move backward—the second transmission gear 128 and the second driven gear 129 move backward—the first and third air guide columns 11, which are spaced apart, move backward.

[0099] Specifically, the second and fourth air guide columns 11 move forward, and the first and third air guide columns 11 move backward, so that the adjacent air guide columns 11 are staggered, thereby increasing the air volume at the air outlet and allowing the air volume to be adjusted according to actual needs.

[0100] Of course, the drive gear 132 can move in the opposite direction, so that the second and fourth air guide columns 11 that are spaced apart move backward, the first and third air guide columns 11 that are spaced apart move forward, the second and fourth air guide columns 11 that are spaced apart rotate clockwise, and the first and third air guide columns 11 that are spaced apart rotate counterclockwise, thus completing the sequential switching from staggered air outlet state to power-on state to power-off state.

[0101] Furthermore, by moving multiple air guide columns 11 in opposite directions, the airflow direction can be adjusted. For example, if the first and third air guide columns 11 move backward and the second and fourth air guide columns 11 move forward, an airflow channel to the right is formed between the second and third air guide columns 11, resulting in airflow to the right. Conversely, if the first and third air guide columns 11 move forward and the second and fourth air guide columns 11 move backward, an airflow channel to the left is formed between the second and third air guide columns 11, resulting in airflow to the left. Therefore, the reverse movement of multiple air guide columns 11...
