[0040] When the air conditioner blows air, the cold air or hot air blown out from the heat exchanger is directly blown to the user from the air outlet. Especially when the cold air is directly blown out, a large temperature difference is formed relative to the original air temperature in the room, and the user feels extremely uncomfortable, which can easily cause cold or air conditioning disease. Based on the above problems, the present application provides a uniform air blowing air conditioner with soft air blowing, and the air deflector 10 will not produce condensation during the air blowing process.

[0041] The present disclosure provides an air conditioner, as shown in Figure 1

[0042] ​The air conditioner provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure is a uniform air supply air conditioner with soft air supply, which comprises a deflector 10 and a movement assembly for the deflector 10. The movement assembly can drive the deflector 10 to move from a closed state to a horizontal state below the air conditioner. The deflector 10 can guide air in the horizontal state, guide indoor air to the vicinity of an air outlet, and blow the air to a user after mixing with air blown out from a heat exchanger. In this way, the air blown out from the heat exchanger will not directly blow to the user, and the comfort of the user is improved. In addition, the air guiding channel is arranged outside the air conditioner, and the loss of air volume of the air conditioner will not be caused. At the same time, during the soft air supply process of the air conditioner, the air blown out from the heat exchanger will not directly blow to the deflector 10, and the deflector 10 will not produce condensation.

[0043] The air conditioner to which the movement assembly for the deflector 10 is applied can be a wall-mounted air conditioner, and can also be a cabinet air conditioner, a ducted air conditioner or a central air conditioner, and the type of the air conditioner is not limited in the present application.

[0044] Optionally, a flow guide plate is arranged in the air outlet of the air conditioner to guide air upward and downward.

[0045] It can be understood that the deflector 10 is used to guide air, and can guide indoor air to the vicinity of the air outlet. The flow guide plate arranged in the air outlet can guide air upward and downward to meet different requirements of refrigeration or heating. The air blown out from the flow guide plate and the air guided to the air outlet through the deflector 10 are mixed at the air outlet and blown to the user, so that the effect of uniform air supply is achieved.

[0046] When the deflector 10 is in the horizontal state, the upper edge of the deflector 10 is located below the air conditioner and behind the air outlet. In this way, when the air conditioner blows air downward, the deflector 10 will not block the air outlet, and the refrigeration or heating effect of the air conditioner will not be affected.

[0047] The embodiments of the present disclosure also provide a movement assembly for the deflector 10, as shown in Figures 2 to 8

[0048] In some embodiments, the movement assembly for the deflector 10 comprises a first rack 20, a second rack 30 and a driving element. One end of the first rack 20 is movably connected with the deflector 10. One end of the second rack 30 is movably connected with the deflector 10, and the second rack 30 is slidably connected with the first rack 20. The driving element is in transmission connection with the first rack 20 and the second rack 30, and is used to drive the first rack 20 and the second rack 30 to move, so that the deflector 10 moves from the closed state to the horizontal state below the air conditioner to guide air.

[0049] ​The movement assembly for the air deflector 10 provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure comprises a first rack 20, a second rack 30 and a driving element, the first rack 20 and the second rack 30 are both movably connected with the air deflector 10, and the driving element is in transmission connection with the first rack 20 and the second rack 30. Under the driving of the driving element, the first rack 20 and the second rack 30 can move the air deflector 10 from the closed state to the horizontal state below the air conditioner. In the horizontal state, the air deflector 10 can guide the indoor airflow to the vicinity of the air outlet, that is, an air guiding channel is formed between the inner side of the air deflector 10 and the lower shell of the air conditioner. The indoor airflow mixes with the airflow blown out by the heat exchanger near the air outlet, so that the air blown out by the air conditioner to the user is softer, preventing the user from being directly blown by the hot or cold airflow blown out by the heat exchanger, causing discomfort. Moreover, during the process of soft air supply, the airflow blown out by the heat exchanger will not directly blow to the air deflector 10, and the surface of the air deflector 10 will not produce condensation, improving the user experience.

[0050] Optionally, the shapes of the first rack 20 and the second rack 30 are both arc-shaped.

[0051] It can be understood that the movement assemblies for the air deflector 10 are arranged at both ends of the air deflector 10 respectively. The movement assemblies at both ends simultaneously drive the air deflector 10 to move from the closed state to below the air conditioner. The first rack 20 and the second rack 30 are arc-shaped, which can shorten the movement stroke of the air deflector 10 from the closed state to below the air conditioner, so that the air deflector 10 can reach the preset horizontal state as soon as possible. Moreover, the arc-shaped rack occupies less space on the side of the air conditioner indoor unit, which can adapt to more types of air conditioners.

[0052] Optionally, the center of the circle where the first rack 20 is located and the center of the circle where the second rack 30 is located coincide on the same projection plane.

[0053] It can be understood that the first rack 20 and the second rack 30 are both arc-shaped, and the center of the circle where the first rack 20 is located and the center of the circle where the second rack 30 are located coincide on the same projection plane, that is, the bending degrees of the first rack 20 and the second rack 30 are the same. In this way, the first rack 20 and the second rack 30 can simultaneously drive the air deflector 10 to extend out of the air conditioner under the driving of the same driving element, and then the first rack 20 and the second rack 30 slide to generate relative movement, thereby driving the air deflector 10 to rotate to the horizontal state.

[0054] Optionally, the first rack 20 comprises a first tooth portion 21, and the second rack 30 comprises a second tooth portion 31; wherein the first tooth portion 21 and the second tooth portion 31 are arranged side by side and have the same tooth pitch.

[0055] It can be understood that the first tooth portion 21 and the second tooth portion 31 are arranged side by side, and the tooth pitch of the first tooth portion 21 and the second tooth portion 31 is the same, so that the first tooth portion 21 and the second tooth portion 31 can be engaged with the same driving element synchronously, so that the first rack 20 and the second rack 30 move synchronously, and drive the air deflector 10 to move.

[0056] Optionally, in the case that the air deflector 10 is closed, the starting end of the first tooth portion 21 and the starting end of the second rack 30 are on the same starting line, and the number of teeth of the first tooth portion 21 is less than the number of teeth of the second tooth portion 31.

[0057] It can be understood that the number of teeth of the first tooth portion 21 is less than the number of teeth of the second tooth portion 31, and the tooth pitch of the first tooth portion 21 and the second tooth portion 31 is the same, that is, the length of the arrangement of the first tooth portion 21 on the first rack 20 is less than the length of the arrangement of the second tooth portion 31 on the second rack 30.

[0058] In the case that the air deflector 10 is closed, the starting end of the first tooth portion 21 and the starting end of the second tooth portion 31 are on the same starting line, that is, the first tooth portion 21 and the second tooth portion 31 have starting ends with the same position, the driving element is in driving connection with the first tooth portion 21 and the second tooth portion 31 along the starting end thereof, drives the first rack 20 and the second rack 30 to move synchronously, until the driving element is located at the end of the first tooth portion 21. Then, the first rack 20 stops moving, the driving element continues to be in driving connection with the second tooth portion 31, drives the second rack 30 to move, and the relative movement between the first rack 20 and the second rack 30 is generated, so that the air deflector 10 is rotated to the horizontal state.

[0059] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the driving element drives the first rack 20 and the second rack 30 to move synchronously at first, so that the air deflector 10 is extended out of the air conditioner to a first preset position. Then, the driving element drives only the second rack 30 to move, so that the air deflector 10 is rotated from the first preset position to the horizontal state. Wherein, the first preset position is the position where the air deflector 10 is extended out of the air conditioner when the driving element is located at the end of the first tooth portion 21, as shown in Figure 2

[0060] Optionally, when the air deflector 10 is in the horizontal state, the distance between the air deflector 10 and the lower shell of the air conditioner is greater than 30 mm.

[0061] ​In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the air deflector 10 functions to guide air. When the air conditioner is turned on, the air deflector 10 moves from the closed state to the first preset position, and then moves to the horizontal state. The air deflector 10 will not rotate or flip in the horizontal state. In the horizontal state, the air deflector 10 has a preset distance from the lower shell of the air conditioner. It can be understood that when the preset distance is small, the air deflector 10 and the lower shell of the air conditioner may generate a certain air guiding noise, and cannot guide air. The preset distance is set to be greater than 30 mm, and the air deflector 10 can have a good air guiding effect, and will not generate other noises during air guiding. For example, the preset distance can be 40 mm, 50 mm, 60 mm or 100 mm, etc.

[0062] Optionally, a side surface of the first rack 20 is provided with a sliding cavity 23, and a corresponding side surface of the second rack 30 is provided with a sliding strip 34, which is slidingly arranged in the sliding cavity 23.

[0063] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the first rack 20 and the second rack 30 are arranged side by side and slidingly connected. The upper surfaces of the first rack 20 and the second rack 30 are both provided with a tooth portion, the opposite side surfaces of the first rack 20 and the second rack 30 are provided with the sliding cavity 23, and the corresponding positions of the second rack 30 are provided with the sliding strip 34. When the first rack 20 and the second rack 30 move relative to each other, the sliding strip 34 slides in the sliding cavity 23. That is, during the movement of the air deflector 10 from the first preset position to the horizontal state, the first rack 20 stops moving, and the second rack 30 moves relative to the first rack 20. That is, the sliding strip 34 of the second rack 30 slides in the sliding cavity 23 of the first rack 20, so that the second rack 30 continues to be driven by the driving element in the preset direction. The first rack 20 and the second rack 30 are slidingly connected in the above manner, so that when the second rack 30 is drivingly connected with the driving element, the second rack 30 can still move along the preset track, preventing the second rack 30 from moving off the track, and improving the reliability of the movement assembly of the present application.

[0064] Optionally, the bottom surface of the sliding cavity 23 extends towards the side close to the second rack 30, and wraps the lower surface of the second rack 30. In this way, the sliding strip 34 on one side of the second rack 30 is in the sliding cavity 23, and the lower surface of the second rack 30 abuts against the bottom surface of the sliding cavity 23, further limiting the movement direction of the second rack 30 relative to the first rack 20, and improving the reliability of the movement of the second rack 30.

[0065] Optionally, the movement mechanism for the air deflector 10 further comprises a shell, which is fixed to the side of the air conditioner inside, and the first rack 20 and the second rack 30 are slidingly arranged in the shell. The side portions of the first rack 20 and the second rack 30 are both provided with sliding blocks, and the two sides of the shell are provided with sliding grooves, and the sliding blocks are slidingly arranged in the sliding grooves.

[0066] By setting the sliding groove in the shell, the movement direction of the first rack 20 and the second rack 30 under the driving of the driving element is further limited, so that the first rack 20 and the second rack 30 can drive the air deflector 10 to move to the first preset position along the preset path, and then the second rack 30 slides under the joint limitation of the sliding groove of the shell and the sliding cavity 23 of the first rack 20, to drive the air deflector 10 to rotate to the horizontal state.

[0067] Optionally, the first rack 20 comprises a first connecting shaft 22, which is vertically arranged on the side surface of the first rack 20, and is used for being hinged with the air deflector 10 to provide a rotating fulcrum for the air deflector 10 to move to the horizontal state.

[0068] One end of the first rack 20 is movably connected with the air deflector 10, and specifically, the first rack 20 is hinged with the air deflector 10. One side surface of the one end of the first rack 20 is provided with the first connecting shaft 22, which is in a cylindrical shape and is vertically arranged on the side surface of the first rack 20. In the process that the air deflector 10 moves from the first preset position to the horizontal state, the air deflector 10 rotates around the first connecting shaft 22 as the fulcrum. In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the axis of rotation of the air deflector 10 is the line connecting the two hinge points between the two ends of the air deflector 10 and the first connecting shaft 22.

[0069] Optionally, one end of the air deflector 10 is provided with a first mounting seat 11, and the first mounting seat 11 is provided with a mounting hole 111, which is hinged with the first connecting shaft 22. Optionally, the mounting hole 111 is a circular hole, and the hole diameter of the mounting hole 111 is the same as the outer diameter of the first connecting shaft 22, so as to adapt to the first connecting shaft 22, so that the first rack 20 is hinged with the air deflector 10.

[0070] Optionally, the second rack 30 comprises a bent segment 32 and a second connecting shaft 33, the bent segment 32 is arranged on one end of the second rack 30 close to the air outlet, and the second connecting shaft 33 is arranged on the free end of the bent segment 32, and is used for being slidably connected with the air deflector 10.

[0071] One end of the second rack 30 is movably connected with the air deflector 10, and specifically, the second rack 30 is slidably connected with the air deflector 10. The end of the second rack 30 connected with the air deflector 10 is provided with the bent segment 32, which extends in the direction away from the second rack 30, i.e., the bent segment 32 extends to the outside of the second rack 30. The outside of the second rack 30 is the outside of the circle in which the second rack 30 is located. The structure of the second rack is shown in Figure 7 .

[0072] Optionally, the air deflector 10 is further provided with a second mounting seat 12, the first mounting seat 11 and the second mounting seat 12 are arranged side by side, the second mounting seat 12 is provided with a sliding channel 121, and the second connecting shaft 33 is slidingly arranged in the sliding channel 121.

[0073] Optionally, the sliding channel 121 is in a straight line type, and the width of the sliding channel 121 is equal to the outer diameter of the second connecting shaft 33. In this way, when the air deflector 10 rotates from the first preset position to the horizontal state, the second connecting shaft 33 can slide in the sliding channel 121, so that the air deflector 10 rotates around the first connecting shaft 22 as the fulcrum.

[0074] Optionally, the sliding channel 121 is arranged in a direction perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the air deflector 10, and the sliding channel 121 is arranged close to the upper edge of the air deflector 10.

[0075] It can be understood that the sliding channel 121 is arranged in the direction of the width of the air deflector 10, so that when the second connecting shaft 33 slides in the sliding channel 121, the rotation of the air deflector 10 around the first connecting shaft 22 as the fulcrum can be realized.

[0076] When the air deflector 10 is in the closed state, the second connecting shaft 33 is located at the starting end of the sliding channel 121. In the process of the air deflector 10 extending from the closed state to the first preset position, the second connecting shaft 33 is always located at the starting end of the sliding channel 121, as shown in Figure 3 When the air deflector 10 rotates from the first preset position to the horizontal state, the second connecting shaft 33 is located at the end of the sliding channel 121, as shown in Figure 5 The starting end of the sliding channel 121 is the end of the sliding channel 121 close to the upper edge of the air deflector 10, and the end of the sliding channel 121 is the end of the sliding channel 121 close to the middle of the air deflector 10.

[0077] The arrangement of the bent segment 32 on the second rack 30 can cooperate with the first rack 20 to rotate the air deflector 10 from the first preset position to the horizontal state. In the process of the air deflector 10 moving from the first preset position to the horizontal state, the driving element is only in transmission connection with the second rack 30, and the first rack 20 stops moving. The second rack 30 is subjected to a downward movement force, which is transmitted to the bent segment 32. The extension direction of the bent segment 32 is opposite to the bending direction of the second rack 30, so that the second connecting shaft 33 at the free end of the bent segment 32 is subjected to a downward and rearward movement force at the same time, which promotes the second connecting shaft 33 to move from the starting end of the sliding channel 121 to the end of the sliding channel 121. The air deflector 10 is subjected to the above-mentioned force and moves from the first preset position to the horizontal state.
