Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of air conditioning equipment technology, specifically to an air guide assembly and an air conditioner. Background Technology
[0002] Air conditioner vents typically have multiple air deflectors, which adjust the airflow direction by oscillating. In related technologies, each air deflector is inserted into corresponding shaft holes at both ends via a rotating shaft. One end of the shaft is connected to a crank, and a connecting rod connected to the crank drives multiple air deflectors to oscillate simultaneously. Installing or removing the air deflectors presents several challenges. First, force must be applied to deform the air deflector to insert and remove the rotating shafts from the corresponding shaft holes, making the installation or removal of a single air deflector difficult and time-consuming. Second, installing or removing each air deflector sequentially also leads to prolonged installation and removal times. In conclusion, the inefficiency of air deflector installation and removal results in low production efficiency and inconvenient maintenance of air conditioners. Summary of the Invention

[0043] Embodiments of this disclosure are described in detail below, with examples of these embodiments illustrated in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this disclosure, and should not be construed as limiting it.
[0044] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, the air guiding assembly 100 of this embodiment includes a first frame 1, a second frame 2, and an air guiding mechanism 3. The first frame 1 has an air inlet and multiple first rotating shaft mating parts 121, and the second frame 2 has an air outlet 211 and multiple second rotating shaft mating parts 231. The first frame 1 and the second frame 2 cooperate, with the air outlet 211 corresponding to the air inlet, and the first rotating shaft mating parts 121 and the second rotating shaft mating parts 231 corresponding one-to-one and forming a rotating shaft hole. The air guiding mechanism 3 includes multiple air guiding plates 31, multiple first cranks 32, and connecting rods 34. The air guiding plates 31 are arranged corresponding to the air inlets. The rotating shafts 312 of the air guiding plates 31 correspond one-to-one with the rotating shaft holes and are rotatably disposed in the corresponding rotating shaft holes. The first cranks 32 are rotatably connected to the connecting rods 34, and the first cranks 32 correspond one-to-one with the air guiding plates 31 and are connected to the rotating shafts 312 of the corresponding air guiding plates 31. The first rotating shaft mating part 121 corresponds to the second rotating shaft mating part 231, which can be understood as: the first rotating shaft mating part 121 and the second rotating shaft mating part 231 are aligned.
[0045] In this embodiment of the air guide assembly 100, the pivot hole is surrounded by a first pivot mating part 121 and a second pivot mating part 231, with the first pivot mating part 121 located on the first frame 1 and the second pivot mating part 231 located on the second frame 2. Therefore, during the installation of the air inlet guide plate 31, multiple air guide plates 31, multiple first cranks 32, and connecting rods 34 can be assembled into an air guide mechanism 3. Then, the air guide mechanism 3 is placed on the first frame 1, wherein the pivot 312 of each air guide plate 31 can be inserted into the corresponding first pivot mating part 121 from one side. Afterward, the second frame 2 is placed on the first frame 1, such that the second pivot mating part 231 corresponds to the corresponding first pivot mating part 121, thereby ensuring that the pivot 312 of each air guide plate 31 is located in the corresponding pivot hole. When disassembling the air inlet guide plate 31, the second frame 2 can be removed from the first frame 1 first; then, the air guide mechanism 3 can be removed from the first frame 1 as a whole, wherein the rotating shaft 312 of each air guide plate 31 is taken out from one side of the corresponding first rotating shaft mating part 121.
[0046] Compared with the installation or removal methods of air guide plates in related technologies, the installation and removal method of the air guide plate 31 of the air guide assembly 100 in this embodiment allows the air guide plate 31 to be installed or removed directly through one side of the rotating shaft 312 (e.g., the first rotating shaft mating part 121). On the one hand, this allows the air guide plate 31 to be installed and removed without deformation, reducing the difficulty of installation and removal and shortening the installation and removal time. On the other hand, it allows the air guide mechanism 3, which includes multiple air guide plates 31, to be installed and removed as a whole, without the need to install and remove each air guide plate 31 separately, thereby shortening the installation and removal time of multiple air guide plates 31 and improving the installation and removal efficiency of the air guide plate 31.
[0047] Therefore, the air guide assembly 100 of the present disclosure has the advantages of high assembly and disassembly efficiency of the air guide plate 31.
[0048] Optionally, the first rotating shaft mating part 121 is a first rotating shaft groove, and the second rotating shaft mating part 231 is a second rotating shaft groove.
[0049] By setting the first rotating shaft mating part 121 as the first rotating shaft groove and the second rotating shaft mating part 231 as the second rotating shaft groove, the hole wall of the rotating shaft hole and the rotating shaft 312 of the air guide plate 31 are in surface contact, which effectively avoids stress concentration between the rotating shaft 312 of the air guide plate 31 and the hole wall of the rotating shaft hole, and helps to improve the reliability of the air guide assembly 100.
[0050] Optionally, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, a grille 17 is provided at the air inlet.
[0051] Optionally, such as Figure 3 , Figure 7 and Figure 9 As shown, the first frame 1 has a positioning groove 122, the opening of which faces the same direction as the opening of the first rotating shaft mating part 121. The second frame 2 has a positioning protrusion 23, which is inserted into the positioning groove 122 through the opening of the positioning groove 122 and is positioned and engaged with the positioning groove 122.
[0052] Therefore, when the second frame 2 is placed on the first frame 1, the positioning protrusion 23 is inserted into the positioning groove 122 through the opening of the positioning groove 122 and is positioned and engaged with the positioning groove 122, so that the positioning between the second frame 2 and the first frame 1 can be realized, so that the first rotating shaft engagement part 121 and the second rotating shaft engagement part 231 correspond one-to-one. This facilitates the one-to-one correspondence between the first rotating shaft engagement part 121 and the second rotating shaft engagement part 231, which is beneficial to improving the assembly efficiency of the air guide assembly 100.
[0053] Optionally, such as Figure 3 , Figure 7 and Figure 9 As shown, the positioning groove 122 is located at the opening of the first rotating shaft mating part 121 and communicates with the first rotating shaft mating part 121, and the second rotating shaft mating part 231 is located on the positioning protrusion 23.
[0054] Therefore, when the positioning protrusion 23 and the positioning groove 122 are positioned and engaged, it is more conducive to making the first rotating shaft engagement part 121 and the second rotating shaft engagement part 231 correspond one-to-one, which is beneficial to further improve the assembly efficiency of the air guide assembly 100.
[0055] Optionally, such as Figure 3 , Figure 7 and Figure 9 As shown, there are multiple positioning grooves 122, each corresponding to a first rotating shaft mating part 121. The positioning groove 122 is located at the opening of the corresponding first rotating shaft mating part 121 and communicates with it. There are also multiple positioning protrusions 23, each corresponding to a second rotating shaft mating part 231. The second rotating shaft mating part 231 is located on the corresponding positioning protrusion 23. The positioning protrusions 23 correspond one-to-one with the positioning grooves 122 and are positioned and mated.
[0056] The positioning groove 122 corresponds to the first rotating shaft mating part 121, which can be understood as: the positioning groove 122 is aligned with the first rotating shaft mating part 121. The positioning protrusion 23 corresponds to the second rotating shaft mating part 231, which can be understood as: the positioning protrusion 23 is aligned with the second rotating shaft mating part 231.
[0057] Therefore, when the positioning protrusion 23 and the positioning groove 122 are positioned and engaged, it is more conducive to making the first rotating shaft engagement part 121 and the second rotating shaft engagement part 231 correspond one-to-one, which is beneficial to further improve the assembly efficiency of the air guide assembly 100.
[0058] Optionally, such as Figure 3 and Figure 7 As shown, the width of the positioning groove 122 gradually decreases along the direction away from the opening of the positioning groove 122.
[0059] For example, such as Figure 7 The width of the positioning groove 122 gradually decreases along the direction approaching the first rotating shaft mating part 121. Since the positioning protrusion 23 is positioned and mated with the positioning groove 122, therefore, as... Figure 9 As shown, the width of the positioning protrusion 23 gradually decreases along the direction close to the first rotating shaft mating part 121.
[0060] Therefore, on the one hand, during the process of the positioning protrusion 23 being inserted into the positioning groove 122 through the opening of the positioning groove 122, the positioning groove 122 can guide the positioning protrusion 23, thereby facilitating the insertion of the positioning protrusion 23 into the positioning groove 122, which is conducive to further improving the assembly efficiency of the air guide assembly 100; on the other hand, when the positioning groove 122 is located at the opening of the first rotating shaft mating part 121 and is connected to the first rotating shaft mating part 121, the positioning groove 122 can also guide the rotating shaft 312 to be installed into the corresponding first rotating shaft mating part 121, which is conducive to further improving the installation efficiency of the air guide plate 31.
[0061] Optionally, such as Figure 3 , Figure 7 and Figure 9 As shown, the positioning groove 122 has two mating groove walls 1221 arranged opposite each other along its width direction, and the mating groove walls 1221 are inclined. The positioning protrusion 23 has two mating inclined surfaces 232 arranged opposite each other along the width direction of the positioning groove 122. In the corresponding positioning protrusion 23 and positioning groove 122, the two mating inclined surfaces 232 correspond one-to-one with the two mating groove walls 1221 and fit together.
[0062] Therefore, the structure of the positioning groove 122 and the positioning protrusion 23 is simple and easy to process and manufacture.
[0063] The first frame 1 includes a first plate 11 and a first surrounding plate 12. An air inlet is located on the first plate 11, and the first surrounding plate 12 is located on the side of the first plate 11 facing the second frame 2 and surrounds the air inlet. A first rotating shaft mating part 121 and a positioning groove 122 are both located on the first surrounding plate 12. The second frame 2 includes a second plate 21 and a second surrounding plate 22. An air outlet 211 is located on the second plate 21, and the second surrounding plate 22 is located on the side of the second plate 21 facing the first frame 1 and surrounds the air outlet 211. A positioning protrusion 23 is located on the second surrounding plate 22. The end face of the first surrounding plate 12 facing the second frame 2 abuts against the end face of the second surrounding plate 22 facing the first frame 1.
[0064] By using the end face of the first enclosure 12 facing the second frame 2 to abut against the end face of the second enclosure 22 facing the first frame 1, a sealed fit can be achieved between the first enclosure 12 and the second enclosure 22. This ensures that the air inlet, air outlet 211, and air guide plate 31 are located in the sealed cavity formed by the first enclosure 12 and the second enclosure 22, effectively preventing air leakage between the first frame 1 and the second frame 2, and improving the reliability of the air guide assembly 100.
[0065] Optionally, the height of the first enclosure 12 is greater than the height of the second enclosure 22.
[0066] Since the first rotating shaft mating part 121 and positioning groove 122 need to be machined on the first enclosure 12, and the setting of the first rotating shaft mating part 121 and positioning groove 122 will affect the structural strength of the first enclosure 12, setting the height of the first enclosure 12 to be greater than the height of the second enclosure 22 is beneficial to improving the structural strength of the first enclosure 12, thereby improving the structural strength of the air guide assembly 100.
[0067] Optionally, such as Figure 5 and Figure 10 As shown, the air guide mechanism 3 also includes a second crank 33 and a drive motor. The drive motor is connected to the second crank 33 to drive the second crank 33 to move.
[0068] When it is necessary to drive the air guide plate 31 to swing, the drive motor drives the second crank 33 to rotate, and the second crank 33 drives the connecting rod 34 to move, and the connecting rod 34 drives multiple air guide plates 31 to swing at the same time.
[0069] The structure of the air guide mechanism 3 is simple and easy to assemble, which helps to further improve the assembly efficiency of the air guide assembly 100.
[0070] Optionally, one end of the first crank 32 is provided with a first locking pin 35, and the first crank 32 and the connecting rod 34 are engaged by the first locking pin 35; one end of the second crank 33 is provided with a second locking pin 36, and the second crank 33 and the connecting rod 34 are engaged by the second locking pin 36.
[0071] The first crank 32 and the connecting rod 34 are engaged by the first locking pin 35, facilitating the connection between the first crank 32 and the connecting rod 34; the second crank 33 and the connecting rod 34 are engaged by the second locking pin 36, facilitating the connection between the second crank 33 and the connecting rod 34. This further facilitates the assembly of the air guide mechanism 3 and helps to further improve the assembly efficiency of the air guide assembly 100.
[0072] Optionally, such as Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown, the air guide plate 31, the rotating shaft 312, and the first crank 32 corresponding to the air guide plate 31 are integrally formed.
[0073] The air guide plate 31, the rotating shaft 312 and the first crank 32 corresponding to the air guide plate 31 are integrally formed, which helps to reduce the number of parts of the air guide mechanism 3, thereby helping to further improve the assembly efficiency of the air guide assembly 100.
[0074] Optionally, such as Figure 3 As shown, at least one of the slots of the first rotating shaft mating part 121 and the second rotating shaft mating part 231 is provided with a clearance part 123, and the first rotating shaft mating part 121, the rotating shaft 312 and the second rotating shaft mating part 231 form a clearance cavity through the clearance part 123.
[0075] For example, such as Figure 3 As shown, the groove of the first rotating shaft mating part 121 is provided with a notch, and the first rotating shaft mating part 121, the rotating shaft 312 and the second rotating shaft mating part 231 form a clearance cavity through the notch.
[0076] Understandably, when a small assembly error occurs between the first rotating shaft mating part 121 and the second rotating shaft mating part 231, the grooves of the first rotating shaft mating part 121 and the second rotating shaft mating part 231 will misalign. The rotating shaft 312 will easily rub against the grooves of the first rotating shaft mating part 121 and the second rotating shaft mating part 231, which will not only produce friction noise but also easily cause wear on the rotating shaft 312. By providing at least one clearance part 123 in the grooves of the first rotating shaft mating part 121 and the second rotating shaft mating part 231, friction between the rotating shaft 312 and the grooves of the first rotating shaft mating part 121 and the second rotating shaft mating part 231 can be effectively avoided, thereby reducing the risk of abnormal noise and wear on the rotating shaft 312 during the operation of the air guide assembly 100.
[0077] Optionally, the groove of the second rotating shaft mating part 231 is provided with a rounded corner.
[0078] Optionally, such as Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, a rotating shaft 312 is provided on both sides of the plate body 311 along its length. The rotating shaft 312 on one side of the plate body 311 along its length is the first rotating shaft 3121, and the rotating shaft 312 on the other side of the plate body 311 along its length is the second rotating shaft 3122. The first crank 32 is connected to the first rotating shaft 3121. A limiting boss 3123 is provided at the end of the second rotating shaft 3122 away from the plate body 311, and a rotating shaft hole is provided between the corresponding plate body 311 and the limiting boss 3123.
[0079] Therefore, by using the pivot hole located between the corresponding plate body 311 and the limiting boss 3123, the second pivot 3122 can be axially limited, eliminating the need for separate components to axially limit the second pivot 3122. This reduces the number of components in the air guide mechanism 3, thereby further improving the assembly efficiency of the air guide assembly 100.
[0080] Optionally, such as Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 8 As shown, the first frame 1 has a first mounting groove 131, and the second frame 2 has a second mounting groove 241. The second mounting groove 241 and the first mounting groove 131 form a mounting hole. The drive motor 4 is located in the mounting hole and is positioned and engaged with the mounting hole.
[0081] For example, the motor housing of the drive motor 4 fits against the wall of the mounting hole, so that the drive motor 4 and the mounting hole are positioned and engaged.
[0082] Therefore, when installing the drive motor 4, it can be first placed in the first mounting slot 131 of the first frame 1; then, the second frame 2 is placed on the first frame 1, with the second mounting slot 241 corresponding to the first mounting slot 131 and forming a mounting hole. The drive motor 4 is positioned by engaging with the mounting hole. When disassembling the drive motor 4, the second frame 2 can be removed from the first frame 1 first; then, the drive motor 4 can be removed from the first frame 1. This facilitates the installation and disassembly of the drive motor 4 and improves the efficiency of its assembly and disassembly.
[0083] Optionally, such as Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the first frame 1 has a limiting groove 141, the opening of the limiting groove 141 and the opening of the first rotating shaft mating part 121 are oriented in the same direction, and the limiting groove 141 has two groove sidewalls arranged opposite to each other along the extension direction of the mounting hole. The drive motor 4 has a limiting protrusion 41, which is disposed in the limiting groove 141 and is clamped between the two groove sidewalls.
[0084] Since the two sidewalls of the limiting groove 141 extend along the extension direction of the mounting hole, the limiting protrusion 41 of the drive motor 4 is clamped between the two sidewalls, which can limit the drive motor 4 in the extension direction of the mounting hole and improve the limiting stability of the drive motor 4.
[0085] Optionally, such as Figures 4 to 6 As shown, the first frame 1 includes a limiting post 14, which is located on the side of the first plate 11 facing the second frame 2, and a limiting groove 141 is located on the limiting post 14.
[0086] By setting a limiting post 14 on the first plate 11 and setting a limiting groove 141 on the limiting post 14, it is beneficial to further improve the structural strength of the first frame 1, thereby further improving the structural strength of the air guide assembly 100.
[0087] Optionally, such as Figures 4 to 6As shown, the first frame 1 includes a limiting plate 15, which is disposed on the side of the first plate 11 facing the second frame 2, forming a mounting cavity 151 between the limiting plate 15 and the first plate 11.

[0103] Therefore, when assembling the air guide assembly 100, the first frame 1 can be placed on top of the air conditioner body first; then, the assembled air guide mechanism 3 is placed on the first frame 1, with the rotating shaft 312 of the air guide plate 31 located in the corresponding first rotating shaft mating part 121, and the drive motor 4 located in the first mounting groove 131; then, the second frame 2 is placed on the first frame 1, with the second rotating shaft mating part 231 corresponding to the first rotating shaft mating part 121, and the second mounting groove 241 corresponding to the first mounting groove 131; finally, the first frame 1 and the second frame 2 are connected together to the air conditioner body to realize the installation and fixation of the air guide assembly 100.
[0104] This facilitates the installation and fixing of the air guide assembly 100, which helps to further improve the assembly and maintenance efficiency of the air conditioner. Furthermore, when the first frame 1 is located below the second frame 2, the rotating shaft 312 of the air guide plate 31 mainly rubs against the groove wall of the first rotating shaft mating part 121 under the action of gravity. This effectively avoids gap contact between the rotating shaft 312 and the first rotating shaft mating part 121 and the second rotating shaft mating part 231, thereby effectively avoiding the risk of frictional noise and wear of the rotating shaft 312 when the first rotating shaft mating part 121 and the second rotating shaft mating part 231 are misaligned.
[0105] Optionally, such as Figure 3 As shown, the first rotating shaft mating part 121 has a superior arc shape, and the second rotating shaft mating part 231 has a inferior arc shape.
[0106] By setting the first rotating shaft mating part 121 to an arc shape, the rotating shaft 312 can contact the second rotating shaft mating part 231 more effectively, thereby more effectively avoiding the risk of friction noise and wear during the rotation of the rotating shaft 312.
[0107] In this embodiment of the air conditioner, during the assembly of the air guide assembly 100, the rotating shafts 312 at both ends of the air guide plate 31 of the air guide mechanism 3 are respectively placed into the first rotating shaft mating parts 121 of the first frame 1, and then the drive motor 4 is inserted into the first mounting groove 131 of the first frame 1. Next, the second frame 2 is placed on the first frame 1, with the positioning protrusion 23 and the positioning groove 122 engaging to ensure that the second rotating shaft mating part 231 on the second frame 2 is coaxial with the first rotating shaft mating part 121 on the first frame 1, and the limiting block 24 on the second frame 2 presses down on the drive motor 4, ensuring that the drive motor 4 is fixed in place during operation. Finally, the air guide assembly 100 is assembled and fixed to the air conditioner body with screws via the fixing post 25. When the air guide mechanism 3 needs to be disassembled for cleaning, simply remove the air guide assembly 100 from the air conditioner, remove the second frame 2, and then remove the entire air guide mechanism 3 from the first frame 1 to clean the dirt on the air guide plate 31.
[0108] The air conditioner of this embodiment, under the premise of ensuring the reliability of the air guide assembly 100, allows for convenient modular assembly and disassembly of the air guide assembly 100. The air guide assembly 100 includes three major modules: a first frame 1, a second frame 2, and an air guide mechanism 3, which greatly improves the production efficiency of the air conditioner, facilitates after-sales maintenance and user cleaning, and enhances the user experience.
