[0004] This invention aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. To this end, this invention proposes an air guide plate assembly for air conditioners, which directly integrates the atomizing module onto the air guide plate, thereby reducing the difficulty of disassembling and assembling the atomizing module, while ensuring that the operation of the atomizing module does not depend on the operating status of the air conditioner, improving the user experience, and solving the technical problems of difficult replacement and inconvenient use of aromatherapy modules in the prior art.

[0070] 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.

[0071] In the description of this invention, it should be understood that the terms "center," "longitudinal," "lateral," "length," "width," "thickness," "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," "outer," "clockwise," "counterclockwise," "axial," "radial," and "circumferential" indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used only for the convenience of describing this invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this invention.

[0072] The air guide plate assembly 100 for an air conditioner 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0073] like Figure 1 As shown, the air guide plate assembly 100 for an air conditioner 1000 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: an air guide plate 10 and an atomizing module 20.

[0074] like Figure 2 As shown, the air guide plate 10 has a through ventilation hole 132. Here, "through" can be understood as connecting the opposite sides of the air guide plate 10, that is, connecting the opposite sides of the air guide plate 10 through the ventilation hole 132. For example, the ventilation hole 132 connects the inner and outer sides of the air guide plate 10. When the air guide plate 10 is connected to the air conditioner 1000, the side closer to the interior of the air conditioner 1000 forms the inner side of the air guide plate 10, and the side farther from the interior of the air conditioner 1000 forms the outer side of the air guide plate 10, thus achieving the connection of the inner and outer sides of the air conditioner 1000 through the ventilation hole 132.

[0075] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the atomizing module 20 is mounted on the air guide plate 10. The air guide plate 10 can be used to support the atomizing module 20 to ensure the structural stability of the atomizing module 20.

[0076] like Figure 2 As shown, the atomizing module 20 has a mist outlet 211, which is exposed on the outside of the air guide plate 10. The atomizing module 20 includes a mist outlet channel 24 that connects the ventilation hole 132 and the mist outlet 211. The mist outlet channel 24 is adapted to introduce airflow from the inside of the air guide plate 10 through the ventilation hole 132. The mist generated by the atomizing module 20 is adapted to be released into the mist outlet channel 24, so that the mist generated by the atomizing module 20 can flow out from the mist outlet 211 along with the airflow of the mist outlet channel 24.

[0077] In other words, part of the structure of the atomizing module 20 is exposed on the outside of the air guide plate 10. During operation, the atomizing module 20 can atomize the substance to produce mist, and the produced mist can be released in the mist outlet channel 24 of the atomizing module 20. At this time, the airflow inside the air guide plate 10 enters the mist outlet channel 24 through the ventilation hole 132 and flows towards the mist outlet 211 along the extension direction of the mist outlet channel 24. During the airflow process, the mist released in the mist outlet channel 24 can be driven towards the mist outlet 211 and then discharged through the mist outlet 211, so as to achieve the purpose of simultaneously discharging the mist produced by the atomizing module 20 and the airflow inside the air guide plate 10.

[0078] As can be seen from the above structure, the air guide plate assembly 100 of the present invention enriches the functions of the air conditioner 1000 by setting the atomizing module 20 on the air guide plate 10, so that the air conditioner 1000 is not limited to simple cooling and heating, thereby improving the practicality of the air conditioner 1000 of this application.

[0079] Meanwhile, this application exposes part of the structure of the atomizing module 20 on the outside of the air guide plate 10, which can reduce the difficulty of assembling and disassembling the atomizing module 20, thereby making it easier for users to replace the atomizing module 20.

[0080] In addition, this application also provides ventilation holes 132 on the air guide plate 10 to cooperate with the atomizing module 20. In this way, even if the air guide plate 10 is in the closed state, which is equivalent to the air conditioner 1000, the mist generated by the atomizing module 20 can be discharged through the mist outlet 211. That is to say, whether the air guide plate 10 is in the open or closed state, which is equivalent to the air conditioner 1000, the mist generated by the atomizing module 20 can be discharged through the mist outlet 211. This makes the operation of the atomizing module 20 independent of the working state of the air guide plate 10, reduces the difficulty of using the atomizing module 20, and improves the portability of use.

[0081] Specifically, the atomizing module 20 is installed on the air guide plate 10 and generates mist. The generated mist is released into the mist outlet channel 24 of the atomizing module 20. At this time, regardless of whether the air guide plate 10, which is equivalent to the air conditioner 1000, is on or off, the airflow inside the air guide plate 10 can enter the mist outlet channel 24 through the ventilation hole 132 and flow towards the mist outlet 211 along the extension direction of the mist outlet channel 24. During the airflow process, the mist released in the mist outlet channel 24 can be driven towards the mist outlet 211 and then discharged through the mist outlet 211, so as to achieve the purpose of discharging the mist generated by the atomizing module 20. Thus, the atomizing module 20 can effectively play its own role to improve air quality, enrich the functions of the air conditioner 1000, and enhance the user experience.

[0082] Understandably, compared to existing air conditioners with single functions, this application integrates an atomizing module 20 on the air guide plate assembly 100 to enrich the functions of the air conditioner 1000, so that the air conditioner 1000 has more than just a single cooling and heating function. At the same time, the atomizing module 20 of this application is not only easy to install and remove, but also does not depend on the working state of the air guide plate 10, ensuring that the atomizing module 20 can work in any state of the air conditioner 1000, thereby improving the portability of use and thus enhancing the user experience.

[0083] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 2 As shown, the mist outlet 211 and the ventilation hole 132 are arranged opposite each other along the wall thickness direction of the air guide plate 10. This can also be understood as the mist outlet 211 being positioned directly opposite the ventilation hole 132 in the extension direction of the wall thickness of the air guide plate 10, thereby shortening the distance between the mist outlet 211 and the ventilation hole 132. This shortens the extension length of the mist outlet channel 24, reduces airflow resistance, and facilitates the airflow from the mist outlet 211, thus improving the airflow efficiency, which in turn improves the misting efficiency and enhances the working quality of the atomizing module 20.

[0084] Of course, in other examples, when the internal structure of the atomizing module 20 is more complex, resulting in an increase in the extension length of the mist outlet channel 24, in order to ensure that the mist outlet channel 24 can normally connect the ventilation hole 132 and the mist outlet 211, the mist outlet 211 and the ventilation hole 132 can be staggered in the wall thickness direction of the air guide plate 10 to ensure that the mist generated by the atomizing module 20 can be discharged normally.

[0085] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 2 As shown, the air guide plate assembly 100 also includes an air concentrator 30, which is located inside the air guide plate 10. The air concentrator 30 is connected to the ventilation hole 132, and an air concentrator channel 31 communicating with the ventilation hole 132 is formed inside the air concentrator 30. This can be understood as the air concentrator 30 enabling communication between the ventilation hole 132 and the inside of the air guide plate 10, ensuring that the airflow inside the air guide plate 10 can flow to the ventilation hole 132. This facilitates the introduction of airflow from the inside of the air guide plate 10 into the mist outlet 24 through the ventilation hole 132, preparing for subsequent mist discharge through the mist outlet 211.

[0086] Optionally, such as Figure 2As shown, at least a portion of the cross-sectional area of ​​the air-gathering channel 31 gradually decreases towards the ventilation hole 132. That is, the cross-sectional area of ​​the air-gathering channel 31 away from the ventilation hole 132 is larger than the cross-sectional area of ​​the air-gathering channel 31 near the ventilation hole 132. This creates a larger opening on the side of the air-gathering component 30 away from the ventilation hole 132, ensuring that a large amount of airflow from the inside of the air guide plate 10 can flow into the air-gathering channel 31, and then flow along the extension direction of the air-gathering channel 31. During the airflow process, because at least a portion of the cross-sectional area of ​​the air-gathering channel 31 gradually decreases towards the ventilation hole 132, the air-gathering channel 31 can accelerate the airflow, increasing its flow speed and ensuring that the airflow can quickly flow into the mist outlet channel 24. This ensures that the mist generated by the atomizing module 20 can be quickly discharged through the mist outlet 211, further improving the working quality of the atomizing module 20.

[0087] In other words, this application provides an air-concentrating element 30 on the inner side of the air guide plate 10. The air-concentrating element 30 ensures that the airflow inside the air guide plate 10 can flow to the ventilation hole 132 in a large quantity and quickly, which is beneficial to the air outlet 211 and thus improves the air outlet efficiency of the atomizing module 20.

[0088] Optionally, the air-concentrating component 30 can be connected to the inner side of the air guide plate 10 by bonding, snap-fitting, threaded connection, etc., to increase the connection strength between the air-concentrating component 30 and the air guide plate 10, thereby improving the structural stability of the air-concentrating component 30 and ensuring that the air-concentrating component 30 can effectively introduce a large amount of airflow from the inner side of the air guide plate 10 into the ventilation hole 132 quickly.

[0089] Of course, in other examples, to reduce the connection difficulty of the air concentrator 30, the air concentrator 30 can be integrally formed on the air guide plate 10, that is, the air concentrator 30 and the air guide plate 10 are formed as a single piece. This reduces the connection difficulty of the air concentrator 30 and also improves the assembly efficiency of the air concentrator 30 and the air guide plate 10. This application does not limit the specific connection method between the air concentrator 30 and the air guide plate 10, as long as the position of the air concentrator 30 relative to the air guide plate 10 is stable.

[0090] In some embodiments of the present invention, the atomizing module 20 is detachably mounted to the air guide plate 10. This further reduces the difficulty of assembling and disassembling the atomizing module 20, making it easier for users to replace the atomizing module 20. The specific configuration after disassembly can be found in [reference needed]. Figure 11 .

[0091] In other words, the atomizing module 20 of this application is detachably installed on the air guide plate 10 and part of the structure of the atomizing module 20 is exposed on the outside of the air guide plate 10, so as to minimize the difficulty of assembling and disassembling the atomizing module 20, thereby facilitating the replacement of the atomizing module 20.

[0092] Optionally, the atomizing module 20 is mounted to the air guide plate 10 via a magnetic structure, thereby enabling a detachable connection between the atomizing module 20 and the air guide plate 10.

[0093] In a specific example, a magnetic component can be provided on one of the atomizing module 20 and the air guide plate 10, and a metal component can be provided on the other. The magnetic component can magnetically attract the metal component to connect the atomizing module 20 to the air guide plate 10 and achieve a detachable connection between the atomizing module 20 and the air guide plate 10.

[0094] Specifically, a strong magnet is installed on the atomizing module 20, and an iron block is installed on the air guide plate 10 corresponding to the position of the strong magnet. The strong magnet attracts the iron block, so that the atomizing module 20 can be detachably installed on the air guide plate 10.

[0095] In other examples, the atomizing module 20 is mounted to the air guide plate 10 via a snap-fit ​​structure. That is, the connection between the atomizing module 20 and the air guide plate 10 is not limited to the magnetic attraction structure described above, but can also be achieved through a snap-fit ​​structure, thus enabling a detachable connection between the atomizing module 20 and the air guide plate 10.

[0096] In a specific example, a buckle can be provided on one of the atomizing module 20 and the air guide plate 10, and a slot can be provided on the other. The buckle is engaged in the slot to achieve a detachable connection between the atomizing module 20 and the air guide plate 10.

[0097] Optionally, such as Figure 2 As shown, the air guide plate 10 has a power supply terminal 40. When the atomizing module 20 is installed on the air guide plate 10, the power supply terminal 40 is electrically connected to the atomizing module 20, and the power supply terminal 40 supplies power to the atomizing module 20. In other words, the air guide plate 10 is provided with a power supply terminal 40 for supplying power to the atomizing module 20. When the power supply terminal 40 comes into contact with the atomizing module 20, it can form an electrical connection with the atomizing module 20, thereby ensuring that when the atomizing module 20 is installed on the air guide plate 10, the atomizing module 20 can be powered, that is, the atomizing module 20 can atomize and produce mist.

[0098] It is worth noting that by setting the power supply terminal 40 mentioned above, the atomizing module 20 can perform atomization work when installed on the air guide plate 10, ensuring that the operation of the atomizing module 20 does not depend on the working status of the air conditioner 1000. That is, the atomizing module 20 can work independently regardless of whether the air conditioner 1000 is powered on or turned on, thus ensuring the portability of the atomizing module 20.

[0099] Optionally, such as Figure 2As shown, the power supply terminal 40 is formed as a battery 41, that is, the power supply terminal 40 is adapted to be powered by the battery 41. When the power supply terminal 40 is adapted to be powered by the battery 41, the battery 41 is electrically connected to the atomizing module 20. The air guide plate 10 has a mounting groove 111 for mounting the battery 41 (the specific structure of the mounting groove 111 can also be combined with...). Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 (For understanding). The mounting slot 111 is mainly used to provide clearance for the installation of the battery 41, ensuring that the battery 41 can be installed on the air guide plate 10, thereby facilitating the use of the battery 41 to power the air guide plate 10.

[0100] Optionally, the atomizing module 20 is configured to cover the mounting slot 111 when installed on the air guide plate 10, and to open the mounting slot 111 when separated from the air guide plate 10, so that the battery 41 can be detached from the mounting slot 111. This configuration ensures that the battery 41 is covered when the atomizing module 20 is installed on the air guide plate 10, improving both the overall aesthetics of the air guide plate assembly 100 and electrical safety.

[0101] In addition, when the atomizing module 20 is separated from the air guide plate 10, the mounting slot 111 is opened, thus exposing the battery 41. Since the battery 41 is detachable from the mounting slot 111, the battery 41 can be removed from the air guide plate 10 for easy replacement of the battery 41.

[0102] Optionally, the mounting slot 111 is provided with a snap-fit ​​groove that matches the shape of the battery 41. When the battery 41 is installed in the mounting slot 111, the opposite ends of the battery 41 and part of the circumferential structure can abut against the side wall of the snap-fit ​​groove, thereby realizing the detachable connection between the battery 41 and the mounting slot 111, which makes it convenient to replace the battery 41 after the battery is depleted.

[0103] Optionally, the air guide plate 10 has a power supply terminal 40. When the atomizing module 20 is installed on the air guide plate 10, the power supply terminal 40 is wirelessly and inductively connected to the atomizing module 20 to supply power to the atomizing module 20. That is to say, the power supply method of the power supply terminal 40 is not limited to the above-mentioned electrical contact connection. The power supply terminal 40 and the atomizing module 20 can also form a wireless inductive connection, which can also realize the supply of power to the atomizing module 20 through the power supply terminal 40, ensuring that the atomizing module 20 can be powered when it is installed on the air guide plate 10.

[0104] For example, the power supply terminal 40 and the atomization module 20 are electrically connected through electromagnetic induction. The principle of electromagnetic induction is well known to those skilled in the art and will not be elaborated here.

[0105] Optionally, the power supply terminal 40 is adapted to be powered by a power supply wire. That is, the power supply terminal 40 is not limited to being powered by the battery 41 mentioned above. For example, the power supply terminal 40 is the main board of the air conditioner 1000, and the main board is connected to the power supply wire. The other end of the power supply wire is electrically connected to the atomizing module 20, so that the power supply terminal 40 can supply power to the atomizing module 20 through the power supply wire.

[0106] Optionally, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the air guide plate 10 includes an inner air guide plate 11 and an outer air guide plate 12. The outer air guide plate 12 is located outside the inner air guide plate 11. Here, "inner side" and "outer side" refer to the sides relative to the interior of the air conditioner 1000. The side closer to the interior of the air conditioner 1000 forms the inner side, and correspondingly, the side farther away from the interior of the air conditioner 1000 forms the outer side. By configuring the air guide plate 10 as a two-part assembly of the inner air guide plate 11 and the outer air guide plate 12, the structural strength of the air guide plate 10 can be increased, and its service life can be extended. Furthermore, it also facilitates the installation of the atomizing module 20 of this application.

[0107] Optionally, such as Figure 3 and Figure 7 As shown, an inner air guide plate 11 has a mounting groove 111, and an outer air guide plate 12 has an outer plate groove 121 corresponding to the mounting groove 111. At least a portion of the atomizing module 20 is adapted to be embedded in the outer plate groove 121 to cover the mounting groove 111. The mounting groove 111 is used to install the battery 41, and the outer plate groove 121 is used to avoid the atomizing module 20, ensuring that the atomizing module 20 can be mounted on the air guide plate 10, while also ensuring that the air guide plate 10 can effectively cover the battery 41 in the mounting groove 111.

[0108] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 3 As shown, the outer surface of the air guide plate 10 has an outwardly open receiving groove 13 with a slot 131, and the atomizing module 20 is embedded in the receiving groove 13. That is to say, the air guide plate 10 is provided with a receiving groove 13, and the side of the receiving groove 13 near the outer surface of the air guide plate 10 has a slot 131 to ensure that the atomizing module 20 can be smoothly installed in the receiving groove 13 through the slot 131.

[0109] In a specific example, the receiving groove 13 mentioned here can be understood as the mounting groove 111 and the outer plate groove 121 mentioned above. Specifically, the air guide plate 10 includes an inner air guide plate 11 and an outer air guide plate 12. The inner air guide plate 11 has a mounting groove 111, and the outer air guide plate 12 has an outer plate groove 121 corresponding to the mounting groove 111. The mounting groove 111 and the outer plate groove 121 cooperate to form a receiving groove 13 on the air guide plate 10, ensuring that the atomizing module 20 can be installed on the air guide plate 10.

[0110] It should be noted that by setting the receiving groove 13 on the air guide plate 10, it is possible to ensure that part of the structure of the atomizing module 20 can be set inside the air guide plate 10, so as to avoid the atomizing module 20 occupying too much space outside the air guide plate 10. On the one hand, this reduces the overall volume of the air guide plate assembly 100, and on the other hand, it also improves the aesthetics of the air guide plate assembly 100.

[0111] Optionally, the ventilation hole 132 is formed on the side wall of the receiving groove 13 opposite to the slot opening 131. That is, the ventilation hole 132 is formed on one side wall of the receiving groove 13 and is positioned opposite to the slot opening 131 of the receiving groove 13. This facilitates the connection between the mist outlet channel 24 and the ventilation hole 132 when the atomizing module 20 is assembled in the receiving groove 13, while ensuring that the mist outlet 211 on the atomizing module 20 can be positioned opposite to the ventilation hole 132 along the wall thickness direction of the air guide plate 10, which is conducive to the discharge of the mist generated by the atomizing module 20.

[0112] Optionally, the outer surface of the atomizing module 20 is flush with the outer surface of the air guide plate 10. That is, the outer surface of the atomizing module 20 does not protrude from the outer surface of the air guide plate 10, thereby ensuring the flatness of the outer surface of the air guide plate assembly 100. Firstly, this improves the aesthetics of the air guide plate assembly 100; secondly, it reduces the area occupied by the air guide plate assembly 100; and thirdly, it ensures that the air guide plate assembly 100 can effectively rotate relative to the air conditioner housing 200 of the air conditioner 1000. In other words, the above arrangement prevents the atomizing module 20 from obstructing the rotation of the air guide plate 10 relative to the air conditioner housing 200.

[0113] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the atomizing module 20 includes a housing 21, a first base 22, and a heating element 23. A storage cavity 212 is formed inside the housing 21. The storage cavity 212 is used to store the substance to be atomized, in preparation for the subsequent operation of the atomizing module 20.

[0114] Optionally, the storage cavity 212 is provided with a liquid injection port (not shown in the figure). When the atomized material in the storage cavity 212 is exhausted, the atomized material can be injected into the storage cavity 212 through the liquid injection port, so that the atomization module 20 of this application can be reused and the cost of using the atomization module 20 can be reduced.

[0115] Of course, in some other examples, the liquid inlet may not be provided, and a new atomizing module 20 can be directly replaced when the atomizing material in the storage chamber 212 is exhausted. Therefore, the atomizing module 20 can be detachably connected to the air guide plate 10, which makes it convenient for users to replace it.

[0116] Optionally, such as Figure 4As shown, a first base 22 is disposed on a housing 21, and the first base 22 has an atomizing chamber communicating with a storage chamber 212. The housing 21 is used to support the first base 22 to improve the structural stability of the first base 22 and ensure that the substance to be atomized in the storage chamber 212 can smoothly enter the atomizing chamber for atomization.

[0117] In specific examples, combined Figure 12 , Figure 14 and Figure 16 As shown, a through hole 213 can be provided between the storage chamber 212 and the atomizing chamber. The through hole 213 is used to connect the storage chamber 212 and the atomizing chamber, thereby ensuring that the substance in the storage chamber 212 can be smoothly atomized into the atomizing chamber.

[0118] Optionally, such as Figure 10 As shown, the first base 22 is located near the bottom of the housing 21, that is, the atomizing chamber is located near the bottom of the storage chamber 212. Thus, the through hole 213 located between the storage chamber 212 and the atomizing chamber can be located near the bottom of the storage chamber 212. Under the action of gravity, the material in the storage chamber 212 can flow towards the bottom of the storage chamber 212, and then enter the atomizing chamber through the through hole 213, which facilitates the atomization of the material in the atomizing chamber.

[0119] Optionally, the heating element 23 is disposed on the first base 22 to atomize the substance entering the atomization chamber. That is, when the substance in the storage chamber 212 enters the atomization chamber through the through hole 213, the heating element 23 is used to atomize the substance to ensure that the atomization module 20 can generate mist.

[0120] Optionally, the heating element 23 is a PTC (Positive Temperature Coefficient) heater to extend the service life of the heating element 23 and improve the heating efficiency of the heating element 23, ensuring that the substance entering the atomization chamber can be successfully atomized.

[0121] In specific examples, such as Figure 15 , Figure 19 and Figure 20 As shown, the heating element 23 is disposed in the first base 22. The first base 22 is provided with a first clearance port 221 connecting the through hole 213 and the heating element 23. The material to be atomized stored in the storage cavity 212 is suitable to flow through the through hole 213 to the first clearance port 221, and then flow through the first clearance port 221 to the heating element 23. The heating element 23 generates heat to heat the material to be atomized to produce mist, so as to realize the atomization function of the atomization module 20.

[0122] Optionally, the substance to be atomized can be one of essential oil, mosquito repellent, or bactericide. When the substance to be atomized is aromatherapy essential oil, the aromatherapy essential oil is atomized to produce fragrance and is discharged through the mist outlet 211 to increase the fragrance of indoor air. When the substance to be atomized is mosquito repellent, the mosquito repellent is atomized to produce fragrance and is discharged through the mist outlet 211 to achieve the purpose of repelling mosquitoes. When the substance to be atomized is bactericide, the bactericide is atomized to produce fragrance and is discharged through the mist outlet 211 to achieve the purpose of sterilization. Thus, an aromatherapy module, a mosquito repellent module, or a bactericide module can be integrated into the air conditioner 1000, so that the air conditioner 1000 of this application has the functions of improving air odor, repelling mosquitoes, or sterilizing.

[0123] Of course, in some other examples, the substance to be atomized can also be water. The water is heated and atomized and discharged through the mist outlet 211 to integrate a humidification module on the air conditioner 1000, that is, to enable the air conditioner 1000 of this application to have a humidification function.

[0124] Optionally, combined Figure 12 and Figure 13 As shown, a first base 22 is disposed within a housing 21. The first base 22 and the housing 21 together define a first channel 241. A mist outlet 211 is formed on the housing 21. A second channel 242 is formed inside the housing 21, connecting the first channel 241 and the mist outlet 211. Here, the mist generated by the atomized substance in the atomization chamber of the first base 22 can flow through the first channel 241 and the second channel 242 to the mist outlet 211, and then be discharged through the mist outlet 211.

[0125] It can also be understood as, for example Figure 13 As shown, the mist outlet channel 24 includes a first channel 241 and a second channel 242 to ensure that the mist generated in the atomizing module 20 can be smoothly discharged.

[0126] Optionally, such as Figure 13 As shown, the first base 22 is disposed inside the housing 21 and a portion of the structure of the first base 22 is spaced apart from the housing 21, so that the first base 22 and the housing 21 together form the first channel 241.

[0127] Optionally, the first channel 241 is located above the heating element 23, so that the mist generated after being heated by the heating element 23 can flow smoothly to the first channel 241, and then flow through the first channel 241 into the second channel 242, which facilitates the discharge of the mist.

[0128] Optionally, such as Figure 19 and Figure 21 As shown, the first base 22 is provided with a second clearance opening 222 that connects the first channel 241 and the second channel 242, so as to ensure that the fog in the first channel 241 can flow into the second channel 242 with the airflow, and then be discharged through the fog outlet 211.

[0129] Optionally, combined Figure 12 and Figure 13 As shown, the atomizing module 20 also includes a second base 26 and a conductive element 27. The second base 26 is disposed on the housing 21 and is spaced apart from the heating element 23. The second base 26 can seal the housing 21 to improve the sealing performance of the housing 21. At the same time, the spaced arrangement between the second base 26 and the heating element 23 can prevent the heat generated by the heating element 23 and the substances on the heating element 23 (aromatherapy essential oils, mosquito repellent, etc.) from being transferred to the second base 26.

[0130] Optionally, such as Figure 16 and Figure 17 As shown, the conductive element 27 is disposed on the second base 26. The end of the conductive element 27 facing away from the first base 22 is flat, and the end of the conductive element 27 facing the first base 22 has a protrusion 271 protruding from the second base 26. The protrusion 271 is electrically connected to the heating element 23. That is, the conductive element 27 is electrically connected to the heating element 23, which facilitates the supply of power to the heating element 23 and ensures that the heating element 23 can generate heat normally to atomize the material flowing over it.

[0131] In addition, the conductive element 27 is disposed on the second base 26, which is used to support the conductive element 27 to improve the structural stability of the conductive element 27.

[0132] Optionally, the end of the conductive element 27 facing away from the first base 22 is connected to the battery 41, and the end of the conductive element 27 facing the first base 22 is electrically connected to the heating element 23, thereby realizing the electrical connection between the battery 41 and the heating element 23 and ensuring that the heating element 23 can generate heat smoothly.

[0133] Optionally, combined Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, a connecting wire 50 is led out from the battery 41. The end of the connecting wire 50 away from the battery 41 is fixedly connected in the mounting groove 111 and is positioned directly opposite the conductive element 27. In this way, when the atomizing module 20 is installed in the air guide plate 10, the end of the conductive element 27 facing away from the first base 22 can contact one end of the connecting wire 50 and achieve electrical connection, thereby realizing the electrical connection between the conductive element 27 and the battery 41.

[0134] It should be noted that since the end of the conductive component 27 facing away from the first base 22 is connected to the battery 41, making the end of the conductive component 27 facing away from the first base 22 a flat surface can ensure that the conductive component 27 can be smoothly attached to the connecting line 50, thus ensuring the reliability of the connection between the conductive component 27 and the connecting line 50.

[0135] Optionally, combined Figure 17 , Figure 18 and Figure 19As shown, the heating element 23 has a conductive structure 231 at one end facing the first base 22. When the second base 26 is installed on the housing 21, the protrusion 271 of the conductive element 27 facing the first base 22 can be connected to the conductive structure 231. In this way, when the atomizing module 20 is connected to the air guide plate 10, the end of the conductive element 27 facing away from the first base 22 can contact and be electrically connected to one end of the connecting line 50, and the end of the conductive element 27 facing the first base 22 can be electrically connected to the heating element 23, thereby realizing the electrical connection between the battery 41 and the heating element 23, ensuring that the atomizing module 20 is connected to the air guide plate 10, and the atomizing module 20 can work to heat the substance to be atomized.

[0136] In other words, the atomizing module 20 of this application can be used simply by connecting it to the air guide plate 10, which is simple and convenient.

[0137] It should be noted that since the end of the conductive element 27 facing the first base 22 is connected to the heating element 23, by protruding the protrusion 271 of the conductive element 27 facing the first base 22, the second base 26 and the heating element 23 can be spaced apart, preventing the material of the heating element 23 from flowing onto the second base 26, and also preventing the material of the heating element 23 from flowing onto the conductive element 27, thus extending the service life of the conductive element 27.

[0138] Optionally, combined Figure 16 , Figure 17 and Figure 18 As shown, the second base 26 is provided with a third channel 243, which connects the first channel 241 and the ventilation hole 132, ensuring that when the second base 26 is installed on the housing 21, the material at the ventilation hole 132 can flow smoothly into the atomizing module 20.

[0139] In the description of this invention, features defined as "first", "second", and "third" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of these features, used to distinguish and describe features, without any order or emphasis.

[0140] In summary, when the atomizing module 20 is connected to the air guide plate 10, the airflow within the air guide plate 10 enters the ventilation hole 132 through the air concentrator 30, then flows through the ventilation hole 132 to the third channel 243, then through the third channel 243 to the first channel 241, then through the first channel 241 to the second channel 242, and finally through the second channel 242 to the mist outlet 211, and is discharged through the mist outlet 211. When the atomizing module 20 is connected to the air guide plate 10, the substance in the storage chamber 212 can flow through the through hole 213 into the atomizing chamber and be heated by the heating element 23. After heating, it forms mist and diffuses into the first channel 241, finally following the airflow entering the first channel 241 from the ventilation hole 132 to the mist outlet 211, thus improving the air quality outside the air guide plate 10.

[0141] The air conditioner 1000 of the present invention is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0142] An air conditioner 1000 according to an embodiment of the present invention, combined with Figure 22 , Figure 23 and Figure 24 As shown, it includes: an air conditioner housing 200, a heat exchange component 300, an air supply component 400, and an air guide plate assembly 100.

[0143] The air conditioner housing 200 has an air outlet area 210, and the air conditioner housing 200 has an air supply duct 220 that communicates with the air outlet area 210. The air supply duct 220 is used to guide the airflow inside the air conditioner housing 200 to the air outlet area 210, so that the airflow can be discharged through the air outlet area 210.

[0144] like Figure 23 and Figure 24 As shown, the heat exchange component 300 is disposed inside the air conditioner housing 200. The heat exchange component 300 is used to exchange heat with the airflow flowing through the air supply duct 220. This improves the temperature of the airflow in the air supply duct 220. When the airflow with a specific temperature is discharged through the air outlet area 210, the indoor temperature can be improved, so that the air conditioner 1000 has the functions of cooling and heating.

[0145] like Figure 23 and Figure 24 As shown, the air supply component 400 is disposed inside the air conditioner housing 200, and the air supply component 400 is used to circulate airflow through the air supply duct 220. This ensures that the airflow in the air supply duct 220 can be smoothly discharged through the air outlet area 210.

[0146] like Figure 23 As shown, the air guide plate assembly 100 is movably disposed in the air outlet area 210, and the air guide plate assembly 100 is the aforementioned air guide plate assembly 100.

[0147] As can be seen from the above structure, the air conditioner 1000 of this embodiment of the invention, by setting the aforementioned air guide plate assembly 100 and placing the air guide plate assembly 100 at the air outlet area 210, when the airflow in the air supply duct 220 is discharged through the air outlet area 210, part of the airflow can enter the atomization module 20 of the air guide plate assembly 100 and discharge the mist generated in the atomization module 20 from the mist outlet 211, so as to improve the odor of indoor air or purify indoor air.

[0148] In other words, by setting the aforementioned air guide plate assembly 100, the air conditioner 1000 of this application can have the functions of improving air odor, repelling mosquitoes, or sterilizing, thereby enriching the functions of the air conditioner 1000 and improving its practicality.

[0149] Optionally, such as Figure 22 As shown, the atomizing module 20 is positioned slightly above the center of the air guide plate 10 to accommodate the height of most adult users, making it convenient for users to replace the atomizing module 20 and improving the user experience.

[0150] The air conditioner 1000 of this application is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The air conditioner 1000 can be a wall-mounted air conditioner or a floor-standing air conditioner.

[0151] The air conditioner 1000 includes an air conditioner housing 200, a heat exchange component 300, an air supply component 400, and an air guide plate assembly 100.

The heat exchange component 300 is located inside the air conditioner housing 200 and is used to exchange heat with the airflow flowing through the air supply duct 220. The air supply component 400 is located inside the air conditioner housing 200 and is used to allow airflow to pass through the air supply duct 220. The air guide plate assembly 100 is movably located in the air outlet area 210. After the air guide plate assembly 100 rotates relative to the air conditioner housing 200, the airflow in the air supply duct 220 can be discharged through the air outlet area 210 to regulate the indoor air temperature.

[0152] In addition, the air guide plate assembly 100 includes an air guide plate 10, an atomizing module 20, an air concentrator 30, and a power supply terminal 40. The air guide plate 10 includes an inner air guide plate 11 and an outer air guide plate 12. The outer air guide plate 12 is located outside the inner air guide plate 11. An installation groove 111 is formed on the inner air guide plate 11, and an outer plate groove 121 corresponding to the installation groove 111 is formed on the outer air guide plate 12. The power supply terminal 40 is a battery 41, which is installed in the installation groove 111. A connecting wire 50 is led out from one end of the battery 41.

[0153] The inner air guide plate 11 is provided with ventilation holes 132, and the inner side of the inner air guide plate 11 is provided with an air concentrator 30. The air concentrator 30 is connected to the ventilation holes 132, and an air concentrator channel 31 communicating with the ventilation holes 132 is formed inside the air concentrator 30. At least part of the cross-sectional area of ​​the air concentrator channel 31 gradually decreases in the direction closer to the ventilation holes 132.

[0154] The atomizing module 20 includes a housing 21, a first base 22, a heating element 23, a mist outlet channel 24, a second base 26, and a conductive element 27. A storage cavity 212 is formed inside the housing 21. The first base 22 is disposed on the housing 21, and the first base 22 and the housing 21 together define a first channel 241. A mist outlet 211 is formed on the housing 21. A second channel 242 is formed inside the housing 21, connecting the first channel 241 and the mist outlet 211. The first base 22 has an atomizing cavity that communicates with the storage cavity 212. The heating element 23 is disposed on the first base 22 to atomize the substance entering the atomizing cavity. The atomized substance flows into the first channel 241.

[0155] The second base 26 is provided on the housing 21. The second base 26 is provided with a third channel 243, which connects the first channel 241 and the ventilation hole 132, ensuring that when the second base 26 is provided on the housing 21, the material at the ventilation hole 132 can flow smoothly into the atomizing module 20.

[0156] The second base 26 is spaced apart from the heating element 23. A conductive element 27 is provided on the second base 26. The end of the conductive element 27 facing away from the first base 22 is flat and is electrically connected to the connecting line 50. The end of the conductive element 27 facing the first base 22 has a protrusion 271 that protrudes from the second base 26. The protrusion 271 is electrically connected to the heating element 23, thereby realizing the electrical connection between the heating element 23 and the battery 41. The battery 41 is used to supply power to the heating element 23.
