Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of air conditioners, and in particular to an air conditioner. Background Art

[0002] At present, the air flow or wind blocking of air conditioners is mostly achieved through air guide plates. Users adjust the rotation angle of the air guide plates during the operation of the air conditioner to meet different air flow or wind blocking requirements, thereby improving the user's blowing comfort while ensuring the design requirements. However, in order to simultaneously ensure the reliability of the installation of the drive unit and the reliability of its driving of the air guide plates, the drive unit is arranged inside the shell structure, and the shell structure also needs to be provided with a avoidance opening for passing through the wind guide swing arm. Since the size of the avoidance opening needs to be large enough to meet the swing of the wind guide swing arm, when the air guide plate is opened to guide or discharge air, the wind flow is easy to flow back from the avoidance opening, which in turn causes condensation to easily appear on the shell structure. At the same time, due to the large size of the avoidance opening, users will see black leakage here, affecting the aesthetics. Summary of the Invention

[0036] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is actually only illustrative and is in no way intended to limit the present invention and its application or use. All other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field based on the embodiments of the present invention without making any creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0037] like Figures 1 to 13 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides an air conditioner, which includes a shell structure 10, a drive unit 20, an air guide plate and a baffle assembly 30. The shell structure 10 has a avoidance opening 101, and the drive unit 20 is located in the cavity of the shell structure 10. The drive unit 20 includes an air guide swing arm 21. One end of the air guide swing arm 21 passes through the avoidance opening 101 and is connected to the air guide plate drive. The air guide swing arm 21 drives the air guide plate to swing to open and close the air outlet of the shell structure 10. The baffle assembly 30 includes a wind shield 31 movably arranged on the shell structure 10; wherein, when the air outlet is open, the wind shield 31 blocks the gap between the inner wall of the avoidance opening 101 and the air guide swing arm 21.

[0038] In this embodiment, the gap between the inner wall of the avoidance opening 101 and the wind guide swing arm 21 is blocked by the wind shield 31 of the baffle assembly 30, thereby avoiding the situation in the prior art where, when the wind guide plate is opened, a large black area is leaked between the inner wall of the avoidance opening 101 and the wind guide swing arm 21, resulting in poor visual appearance and easy occurrence of backflow condensation, thereby ensuring the performance and aesthetics of the air conditioner.

[0039] like Figures 1 to 5 as well as Figure 9 As shown, a single escape opening 101 is provided with baffle assemblies 30 on both sides along the length of the housing structure 10. The driving unit 20 drives the windshields 31 of the two baffle assemblies 30 on either side of the same escape opening 101 to move relative to each other. When the two windshields 31 abut against each other, the gaps between the two sides of the wind guide swing arm 21 and the inner wall of the escape opening 101 are respectively blocked. This arrangement helps ensure the reliability of the gap blocking and avoids the difficulty of machining the groove on the windshield 31 for avoiding the wind guide swing arm 21 when a single windshield 31 is used to block the gap, or the problem of significant black leakage after blocking.

[0040] Preferably, if Figure 2As shown, the wind shield 31 includes a plate body and abutment protrusions protruding from the plate body. The abutment protrusions of the two wind shields 31 are arranged relative to each other. When the wind guide plate opens the air outlet of the air conditioner, the two abutment protrusions abut against each other. The two plate bodies are spaced apart from each other and form a avoidance area for avoiding the wind guide swing arm 21. The wind guide swing arm 21 passes through the avoidance area and is limitedly matched with the inner wall of the avoidance area and the inner wall of the avoidance opening 101.

[0041] Specifically, the drive unit 20 includes a drive assembly 22 for rotating the air guide arm 21. The drive assembly 22 is operatively connected to the baffle assembly 30 to simultaneously close the gap between the inner wall of the escape opening 101 and the air guide arm 21 while the air guide opens the air outlet. This arrangement allows the air guide arm 21 to simultaneously drive both the air guide and the wind deflector 31, improving adjustment convenience. Furthermore, the air deflector 31 is driven by the air conditioner's existing drive unit 20, eliminating the need for a new drive structure to drive the wind deflector 31, which could complicate the overall structure of the air conditioner. This facilitates the simplification and miniaturization of the air conditioner.

[0042] Furthermore, the baffle assembly 30 includes a first transmission assembly 32 having an adapter end, and the windshield 31 includes a second transmission assembly. The drive unit 20 is drivingly connected to the first transmission assembly, and the adapter end is drivingly connected to the second transmission assembly to drive the windshield 31. This arrangement avoids the situation where the drive unit 20 has difficulty in directly driving the windshield 31, ensuring the reliability and stability of the drive of the windshield 31.

[0043] like Figures 1 to 10 As shown, the second transmission assembly includes a strip-shaped tooth groove 311 located on the side of the windshield 31 facing the housing structure 10. The adapter end is inserted into the strip-shaped tooth groove 311 and has an annular tooth on its outer periphery, which meshes with the strip-shaped tooth groove 311. In this embodiment, the windshield 31 is disposed on a shell plate of the housing structure 10, and the windshield 31 is adapted to the shape of the shell plate. The avoidance opening 101 is disposed on this shell plate. The strip-shaped tooth groove 311 is located on the side of the windshield 31 facing the shell plate. This embodiment uses a rack and pinion meshing method to achieve the movement drive of the windshield 31, ensuring the reliability and stability of the drive of the windshield 31.

[0044] Specifically, the strip-shaped tooth groove 311 extends along the length direction of the windshield 31 and passes through at least one side of the windshield 31. The strip-shaped tooth groove 311 includes a mating groove section, and a plurality of mating teeth are provided on one of the inner walls of the mating groove section. The first transmission assembly 32 includes a transmission rod 321, and the transmission rod 321 includes a mating rod section 3211. The mating rod section 3211 is rotatably arranged in the mating groove section and has annular teeth on the outer periphery. The mating rod section 3211 is in transmission and limit engagement with the mating groove section.

[0045] In this embodiment, a plurality of mating teeth are arranged on a side wall of the strip tooth groove 311 along the width direction of the wind shield 31 and extend along the length direction of the wind shield 31 and cover the side wall, and a plurality of racks are engaged with the annular teeth surrounding the outer periphery of the mating rod segment 3211, and the other side wall of the strip tooth groove 311 along the width direction of the wind shield 31 is used to engage with the outer periphery of the mating rod segment 3211 to ensure the meshing effect of the strip tooth groove 311 and the mating rod segment 3211 and the reliability of the relative movement of the mating rod segment 3211 and the wind shield 31 along the extension direction of the strip tooth groove 311.

[0046] Furthermore, the strip-shaped tooth groove 311 also includes a limiting groove section connected to the matching groove section, and the width of the matching groove section is greater than that of the limiting groove section. The transmission rod 321 also includes a limiting rod section 3212 connected to the matching rod section 3211. The limiting rod section 3212 is passed through the limiting groove section and is limitedly matched with the limiting groove section. The cross-sections of the limiting rod section 3212 and the limiting groove section are both T-shaped, and the side with a smaller width of the limiting groove section is connected to the matching groove section to limit the relative position of the wind shield 31 and the shell structure 10 in the axial direction of the transmission rod 321.

[0047] In this embodiment, the mating slot section and the limiting slot section are interconnected and distributed along the thickness of the windshield 31. The limiting engagement between the limiting slot section and the limiting rod section 3212 further limits the relative position and movement of the windshield 31 and the first transmission assembly 32. Furthermore, both the limiting slot section and the limiting rod section 3212 have T-shaped cross-sections, thereby axially limiting the relative position of the windshield 31 and the shell plate of the housing structure 10 with respect to the transmission rod 321. This prevents the transmission rod 321 from being easily dislodged from the strip-shaped tooth groove 311, thereby ensuring reliable and stable driving of the windshield 31. This arrangement also facilitates defining the installation position of the transmission rod 321, facilitating the positioning and adjustment of the bevel gear 322 mounted on the transmission rod 321, and ensuring reliable meshing of the two bevel gears 322.

[0048] Optionally, the strip-shaped tooth groove 311 in this embodiment passes through one side of the windshield 31 along the length direction of the windshield 31, and the two strip-shaped tooth grooves 311 on the two windshields 31 extend symmetrically. With this arrangement, when disassembling and assembling the transmission rod 321, the operator only needs to remove or install the transmission rod 321 from the end of the strip-shaped tooth groove 311, which facilitates the disassembly and assembly of the first transmission assembly 32 and the windshield 31.

[0049] like Figures 1 to 10As shown, the first transmission assembly 32 includes a transmission rod 321 and two bevel gears 322 whose axes are perpendicular to each other and mesh with each other. The driving part 20 includes a rotatable driving assembly 22. The bevel gear 322 whose axis is parallel to the extension direction of the driving assembly 22 is sleeved on the driving assembly 22 and can rotate with the driving assembly 22. The other bevel gear 322 is sleeved on the transmission rod 321. The shell structure 10 also has an adjustment groove 102 that is limited by the transmission rod 321. The connecting end of the transmission rod 321 passes through the adjustment groove 102 and is connected to the second transmission assembly for transmission. The transmission rod 321 is limited by the inner wall of the adjustment groove 102.

[0050] In this embodiment, the adjustment groove 102 is located on the shell plate of the shell structure 10 for setting the wind shield 31 and is separated from the avoidance opening 101. The wind guide swing arm 21 and the first transmission component 32 are separated in the extension direction of the driving component 22. The wind guide swing arm 21 is set corresponding to the avoidance opening 101, and the first transmission component 32 is set corresponding to the limit opening. The transmission rod 321 of the first transmission component 32 passes through the limit opening and is limited by the inner wall of the limit opening to limit the movement of the transmission rod 321 along its radial direction, so as to avoid it from moving horizontally along the length or width direction of the wind shield 31 during rotation, resulting in unstable or failed adjustment of the wind shield 31. When the wind deflector opening needs to be adjusted, the drive assembly 22 rotates, simultaneously driving the wind deflector arm 21 and the bevel gear 322 mounted on the drive assembly 22. The bevel gear 322 then drives another meshing bevel gear 322 and the transmission rod 321. Because the end of the transmission rod 321 is inserted into the strip-shaped tooth groove 311 and meshes with the strip-shaped tooth groove 311 via the annular teeth, the wind deflector 31 moves toward the avoidance opening 101 under the action of rotational and meshing transmission. This arrangement allows the drive assembly 22 to change its transmission direction through the meshing and perpendicular bevel gears 322, facilitating the drive assembly 22's drive of the wind deflector 31. Furthermore, the meshing of the gears and the rack and pinion is highly reliable, thus ensuring reliable driving of the wind deflector 31.

[0051] Specifically, the two baffle assemblies 30 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the avoidance opening 101 to ensure the reliability of the relative movement of the two wind deflectors 31 .

[0052] like Figures 1 to 13 As shown, the shell structure 10 also has an adjustment slot 102, which is perpendicular to the extension direction of the second transmission component. The adjustment slot 102 extends along the width direction of the wind shield 31 and passes through at least one side of the shell structure 10. The first transmission component 32 is inserted into the adjustment slot 102 and is movably arranged along the extension direction of the adjustment slot 102.

[0053] In this embodiment, the adjustment slot 102 and the strip-shaped tooth groove 311 extend perpendicularly to each other. The adjustment slot 102 extends along the width of the shell plate and penetrates one side of the shell plate. The adjustment slot 102 also penetrates the shell plate along the thickness direction of the shell plate. This arrangement further improves the operator's convenience in assembling and disassembling the first transmission assembly 32. Specifically, the transmission rod 321 is movably arranged along the extension direction of the adjustment slot 102. When the operator needs to install the transmission rod 321, the operator can insert the transmission rod 321 from the end of the adjustment slot 102 until the transmission rod 321 passes through the annular teeth on the outer periphery of the end of the adjustment slot 102 and engages with the strip-shaped tooth groove 311 on the windshield 31 mounted on the shell plate. This can be understood as moving the transmission rod 321 to the intersection of the adjustment slot 102 and the strip-shaped tooth groove 311, then adjusting the transmission rod 321 along the strip-shaped tooth groove 311 to complete the installation of the transmission rod 321. The operator can perform the reverse operation to disassemble the transmission rod 321.

[0054] Specifically, the shell structure 10 includes a mounting shell 12 for mounting the driving unit 20 and the baffle assembly 30, the avoidance opening 101 is located on the mounting shell 12, and the baffle assembly 30 also includes a guide assembly 33, which is arranged between the mounting shell 12 and the wind shield 31 to guide the relative movement of the wind shield 31 and the mounting shell 12, and to limit the relative rotation of the wind shield 31 and the mounting shell 12 and / or the approach or distance between the wind shield 31 and the mounting shell 12.

[0055] In this embodiment, the shell plate of the shell structure 10 is the shell plate of the mounting shell 12 on which the wind shield 31 is installed. The relative movement of the two is guided by the guide component 33. At the same time, it avoids the situation where the wind shield 31 is easily rotated around the axis of the transmission rod 321 of the first transmission component 32 when the wind shield 31 is connected only by the first transmission component 32. Combined with the guide component 33, the relative rotation of the wind shield 31 and the mounting shell 12 is restricted.

[0056] Furthermore, the guide assembly 33 includes a plurality of guide blocks 331. The side of the mounting housing 12 facing the windshield 31 has a plurality of guide slots 103 extending in the same direction. The guide blocks 331 are disposed one-to-one within the plurality of guide slots 103 and are movable along the extending direction of the guide slots 103. The guide slots 103 and guide blocks 331 both have T-shaped cross-sections. The guide slots 103 have mounting and disassembly openings 1031. When the guide blocks 331 are moved to positions corresponding to the mounting and disassembly openings 1031, the guide blocks 331 can be removed. This arrangement facilitates assembly and disassembly of the windshield 31 by the operator, while further ensuring the reliability of the defined relative positions of the windshield 31 and the mounting housing 12 along the axial direction of the transmission rod 321. Specifically, when the operator disassembles and assembles the wind shield 31, the operator can align the protrusion of the guide block 331 on the wind shield 31 with the disassembly port 1031, so that the guide block 331 can penetrate into the guide groove 103 or be pulled out from the guide groove 103. The installation of the wind shield 31 and the mounting shell 12 can be achieved by misaligning the guide block 331 with a T-shaped cross-section and the disassembly port 1031, thereby improving the convenience of disassembly and assembly.

[0057] In this embodiment, the housing structure 10 includes a panel body 11 and a mounting housing 12 disposed within the panel body 11. The mounting housing 12 is disposed within the panel body 11, and the avoidance opening 101 is located on the mounting housing 12. The end of the wind guide swing arm 21 facing away from the wind guide plate is rotatably disposed within the mounting housing 12. This arrangement facilitates the placement and installation of the drive unit 20 and the baffle assembly 30 through the mounting housing 12.

[0058] Specifically, the drive unit 20 includes a drive assembly 22 for rotating the wind guide swing arm 21. The drive assembly 22 includes a drive motor 221 and a drive rod 222. The wind guide swing arm 21 is connected to the wind deflector. The drive rod 222 rotatably passes through the mounting housing 12. The drive motor 221 is drivingly connected to the wind guide swing arm 21 via the drive rod 222. The drive rod 222 is drivingly connected to the baffle assembly 30. This arrangement facilitates assembly and installation of the drive unit 20 while ensuring the convenience of simultaneously driving the wind guide swing arm 21 and the baffle assembly 30.
