[0005] Optionally, the first rotating shaft can be movably disposed in the mounting cavity along its axial direction so that when it slides in the mounting cavity, it pushes or drives the air guide plate to push the baffle, thereby causing the baffle to be subjected to a thrust along the axial direction of the first rotating shaft.

[0006] Optionally, a screw is inserted into the rotating frame, and the screw is threadedly connected to the rotating frame. A baffle is connected to the screw, so that the baffle is mounted on the rotating frame so that it rotates around the first rotating shaft and moves along the axial direction of the first rotating shaft.

[0007] Optionally, the rotating frame and / or baffle are matched with the first rotating shaft for rotational limiting, so that the first rotating shaft and the rotating frame rotate synchronously.

[0008] Optionally, the side wall of the mounting cavity is provided with multiple limiting grooves, and the first rotating shaft is provided with multiple limiting blocks; when the first rotating shaft is installed in the mounting cavity, each limiting block is inserted into a limiting groove so that the rotating frame and the first rotating shaft are rotated and limited.

[0009] Optionally, a limiting protrusion is provided on the side of the baffle near the rotating frame; when the baffle is located at the notch, the limiting protrusion abuts against the first rotating shaft.

[0014] In this invention, an air guide plate assembly and an air conditioner indoor unit are provided. The assembly includes a rotating frame, an air guide plate, and a baffle. The air guide plate assembly is installed at the air outlet of the indoor unit. When the air guide plate needs to be removed, the user pushes the baffle along the length of the screw. Because the rotating frame and the screw are threaded together, the baffle rotates circumferentially around the screw. After the baffle rotates around the screw by a preset angle, the notch in the rotating frame is opened, allowing the first rotating shaft to be removed from the rotating frame, thus achieving the effect of quickly disassembling the air guide plate.

[0028] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the air guide plate assembly structure, such as... Figure 1 As shown, and refer to Figures 2 to 7 This invention provides an air guide plate assembly, including a rotating frame 210, an air guide plate 100, and a baffle 220. The rotating frame 210 defines a mounting cavity with an opening, and the side wall of the mounting cavity has a notch. A first rotating shaft 110 is fixed to the end of the air guide plate 100. The first rotating shaft 110 can be installed into the mounting cavity and the opening from one side of the mounting cavity via the notch. The air guide plate 100 and the rotating frame 210 rotate synchronously. The baffle 220 is disposed at the notch. The baffle 220 is movably mounted on the rotating frame 210 around the first rotating shaft 110 in the axial direction, so that the baffle 220 opens the notch under the action of a thrust along the axial direction of the first rotating shaft 110.

[0029] When the baffle 220 is subjected to a thrust along the axial direction of the first rotating shaft 110, the baffle 220 revolves around the first rotating shaft 110, thereby enabling the notch of the rotating frame 210 to open or close quickly. The quick opening or closing of the notch of the rotating frame 210 enables the rapid disassembly or installation of the first rotating shaft 110 within the mounting cavity, thereby achieving rapid disassembly and assembly of the air guide plate 100.

[0030] An air guide plate assembly is installed at the air outlet of the indoor unit of the air conditioner. During operation, the indoor unit rotates the rotating bracket 210, which in turn drives the first rotating shaft 110 to rotate, thereby causing the air guide plate 100 to rotate. When it is necessary to remove the air guide plate 100, the user pushes the baffle 220 along the axial direction of the first rotating shaft 110, and the baffle 220 rotates circumferentially around the first rotating shaft 110. After the baffle 220 rotates around the first rotating shaft 110 by a preset angle, the notch of the rotating bracket 210 is opened. At this time, the first rotating shaft 110 can be removed from the mounting cavity and opening of the rotating bracket 210, thereby achieving the effect of quickly removing the air guide plate 100.

[0031] When the air guide plate 100 needs to be reinstalled, repeat the above process to rotate the baffle 220 around the first rotating shaft 110, thereby opening the notch of the rotating frame 210. When the notch is open, install the first rotating shaft 110 in the mounting cavity and opening of the rotating frame 210 to achieve the effect of quickly installing the air guide plate 100.

[0032] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the first rotating shaft 110 is movably disposed within the mounting cavity along its axial direction. When sliding within the mounting cavity, it pushes or drives the air guide plate 100 to push the baffle 220, thereby subjecting the baffle 220 to a thrust along the axial direction of the first rotating shaft 110. When the notch of the rotating bracket 210 needs to be opened, the air guide plate 100 moves along the axial direction of the first rotating shaft 110, thereby causing the first rotating shaft 110 to slide within the mounting cavity. When the first rotating shaft 110 slides within the mounting cavity, it applies a thrust to the baffle 220, causing the baffle 220 to rotate around the first rotating shaft 110, thus opening the notch. By moving the air guide plate 100 to open the notch, the ease of disassembling the air guide plate 100 can be improved, especially suitable for the confined interior space of indoor units, particularly the space at the air outlet of wall-mounted air conditioners.

[0033] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figures 3 to 6 As shown, a screw 230 is inserted into the rotating frame 210, and the screw 230 is threadedly connected to the rotating frame 210. The first rotating shaft 110 and the screw 230 are parallel to each other. A baffle 220 is connected to the screw 230, so that the baffle 220 is mounted on the rotating frame 210, rotating around the first rotating shaft 110 and simultaneously moving along the axial direction of the first rotating shaft 110. Since the rotating frame 210 and the screw 230 are threadedly connected, the rotating frame 210 and the screw 230 constitute a screw-thread mechanism, so that when the baffle 220 is subjected to a thrust along the direction of the first rotating shaft 110, the baffle 220 rotates around the direction of the first rotating shaft 110 under the threaded engagement of the rotating frame 210 and the screw 230.

[0034] Furthermore, a connecting block 222 is provided between the baffle 220 and the screw 230. One end of the connecting block 222 is fixedly connected to the screw 230, and the other end is fixedly connected to the baffle 220. Specifically, the connecting block 222, the screw 230 and the baffle 220 are integrally formed parts.

[0035] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the rotating frame 210 and / or the baffle 220 are engaged with the first rotating shaft 110 to limit its rotation, so that the first rotating shaft 110 and the rotating frame 210 rotate synchronously. Specifically, the rotation limiting engagement is such that when the first rotating shaft 110 is inserted into the rotating frame 210, the rotating frame 210 and the first rotating shaft 110 rotate synchronously.

[0036] In a further embodiment of the present invention, such as Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the rotating frame 210 and the first rotating shaft 110 are in a rotational limiting engagement. Specifically, the side wall of the mounting cavity is provided with multiple limiting grooves 211, and the first rotating shaft 110 is provided with multiple limiting blocks 221. When the first rotating shaft 110 is installed in the mounting cavity, each limiting block 221 is inserted into a limiting groove 211, so that the rotating frame 210 and the first rotating shaft 110 are in a rotational limiting engagement. The mutual cooperation between the limiting blocks 221 and the limiting grooves 211 can increase the stability of the first rotating shaft 110 installed in the mounting cavity.

[0037] In a further embodiment of the present invention, such as Figures 3 to 6 As shown, a limiting protrusion is provided on the side of the baffle 220 near the rotating frame 210; when the baffle 220 is located at the notch, the limiting protrusion abuts against the first rotating shaft 110. The abutment between the limiting protrusion and the first rotating shaft 110 enables the baffle 220 and the first rotating shaft 110 to rotate and limit each other, or / and further increase the stability of the first rotating shaft 110 in the mounting cavity.

[0038] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 3 and Figure 7 As shown, the mounting cavity has a rectangular cavity structure, and the first rotating shaft 110 is a rectangular shaft to improve the fit between the mounting cavity and the first rotating shaft 110 and prevent relative rotation between the rotating frame 210 and the first rotating shaft 110.

[0039] In a further embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 5 As shown, the limiting groove 211 on the rotating frame 210 located near the baffle 220 is open towards the baffle 220. The limiting block 221 can be quickly inserted into the limiting groove 211 through the open part of the limiting groove 211, so that the first rotating shaft 110 can be quickly installed on the rotating frame 210. At the same time, it is convenient for the limiting block 221 on the first rotating shaft 110 and the limiting groove 211 on the rotating frame 210 to be inserted and cooperated.

[0040] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the length of the limiting groove 211 along the axial direction of the first rotating shaft 110 is greater than the length of the limiting block 221 along the axial direction of the first rotating shaft 110, so that the limiting block 221 can slide within the limiting groove 211 along the axial direction of the first rotating shaft 110, thereby allowing the first rotating shaft 110 to slide up and down within the rotating frame 210. When the air guide plate 100 moves upward, the first rotating shaft 110 exerts an upward thrust on the baffle 220.

[0041] Furthermore, a push plate is provided between the air guide plate 100 and the first rotating shaft 110. The push plate is perpendicular to both the air guide plate 100 and the first rotating shaft 110, and is fixedly connected to both. Initially, the push plate and the baffle 220 are in contact. As the push plate moves upward with the air guide plate 100, it applies an upward thrust to the baffle 220, causing the baffle 220 to rotate under the action of the screw 230 until the baffle 220 opens the notch of the rotating frame 210. This structure, where the air guide plate 100 moves upward to rotate the baffle 220, makes operation more convenient and faster for the user.

[0042] In other embodiments of the invention, the end of the first rotating shaft 110 abuts against the connecting block 222 so that when the first rotating shaft 110 slides upward, the screw 230 is subjected to an upward thrust.

[0043] In some embodiments of the present invention, a compression spring is sleeved on the screw 230. The lower end of the compression spring abuts against the baffle 220 and the upper end abuts against the rotating frame 210. The compression spring exerts a downward pushing force on the baffle 220, thereby keeping the baffle 220 closed to the notch of the rotating frame 210, so as to prevent the baffle 220 from deflecting due to vibration and causing the notch of the rotating frame 210 to be opened, thereby preventing the air guide plate 100 from falling off the rotating frame 210 during operation.

[0044] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 6 As shown, the baffle 220 is an arc-shaped plate, and the baffle 220 protrudes outward relative to the rotating frame 210.

[0045] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 2 As shown, the rotating frame 210 is rotatably mounted around a reference axis, and the screw 230 is spaced apart from the reference axis. When the rotating frame 210 rotates, it can drive the screw 230 to revolve around the rotation axis 212 of the rotating frame 210, thereby preventing relative rotation between the rotating frame 210 and the screw 230, and preventing the baffle 220 from rotating when the rotating frame 210 is working.

[0046] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 2As shown, the air guide plate assembly also includes a mounting bracket 300, a drive motor 310, a second gear 330, and a first gear 320. A rotating bracket 210 is rotatably mounted on the mounting bracket 300, and a rotating shaft 212 is fixedly mounted on the rotating bracket 210. The drive motor 310 is mounted on the mounting bracket 300, the second gear 330 is fixedly sleeved on the rotating shaft 212, and the first gear 320 is fixedly sleeved on the output shaft of the drive motor 310 and meshes with the second gear 330. Specifically, the rotating shaft 212 is rotatably mounted on the mounting bracket 300, with the axis of the rotating shaft 212 as the reference axis, and a screw 230 is inserted into the rotating shaft 212 with a threaded connection between them.

[0047] Furthermore, the second gear 330 may be an incomplete gear.

[0048] During operation, the drive motor 310 drives the first gear 320 to rotate, the first gear 320 drives the second gear 330 to rotate, the second gear 330 drives the rotating frame 210 to rotate, thereby driving the air guide plate 100 to rotate.

[0049] In other embodiments of the invention, such as Figure 2 As shown, the drive motor 310 can be directly connected to the rotating shaft 212, thereby enabling the drive motor 310 to directly drive the rotating frame 210 to rotate.

[0050] An indoor air conditioning unit includes an air outlet and an air guide plate assembly as described in any of the above embodiments. The air guide plate 100 is disposed at the air outlet, and the rotating bracket 210 is rotatably mounted at one end of the air outlet.

[0051] In other embodiments of the invention, such as Figure 2 As shown, the end of the air outlet furthest from the rotating frame 210 has a insertion hole with an opening facing the rotating frame 210. A second rotating shaft 120 is provided at the end of the air guide plate 100 furthest from the first rotating shaft 110, and the second rotating shaft 120 is inserted into the insertion hole. When the air guide plate 100 needs to be disassembled, the first rotating shaft 110 must first be removed from the mounting cavity, and then the second rotating shaft 120 must be removed from the insertion hole. The insertion hole and the second rotating shaft 120 increase the stability of the air guide plate 100 after installation.

[0052] Specifically, the indoor unit of the air conditioner enables the rotating bracket 210 to rotate, thereby driving the first rotating shaft 110 to rotate, and in turn driving the air guide plate 100 to rotate. When it is necessary to remove the air guide plate 100, the user pushes the baffle 220 along the axial direction of the first rotating shaft 110, and the baffle 220 rotates circumferentially around the first rotating shaft 110. After the baffle 220 rotates around the first rotating shaft 110 by a preset angle, the notch of the rotating bracket 210 is opened. At this time, the first rotating shaft 110 can be removed from the mounting cavity and opening of the rotating bracket 210, so as to achieve the effect of quickly removing the air guide plate 100.

[0053] When the air guide plate 100 needs to be reinstalled, repeat the above process to rotate the baffle 220 around the first rotating shaft 110, thereby opening the notch of the rotating frame 210. When the notch is open, install the first rotating shaft 110 in the mounting cavity and opening of the rotating frame 210 to achieve the effect of quickly installing the air guide plate 100.

[0054] In some other embodiments of the present invention, the rotating frame 210 is fixed to the end of the air guide plate 100 and can drive the air guide plate 100 to rotate, and the first rotating shaft 110 is rotatably mounted on the mounting frame 300.

[0055] In some embodiments of the present invention, the indoor unit of the air conditioner is an embedded air conditioner indoor unit.

[0056] Therefore, those skilled in the art should recognize that although numerous exemplary embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described in detail herein, many other variations or modifications conforming to the principles of the present invention can be directly determined or derived from the disclosure of the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. Thus, the scope of the present invention should be understood and construed as covering all such other variations or modifications.
