Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of air conditioning technology, specifically to a drive mechanism for an air conditioning air guide plate and an air conditioner. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the movement patterns of air guides are becoming increasingly diverse, and consequently, the drive devices that drive the opening and closing of air guides are also becoming increasingly diverse.

[0003] The related technology discloses a drive mechanism for an air guide mechanism. By setting a first link and a second link, the first link is movably disposed in the housing along the extension direction of the air outlet channel. One end of the second link is rotatably connected to the end of the first link near the air outlet, and the other end extends toward the air outlet. The air guide plate is connected to the end of the second link away from the first link. The first drive assembly drives the first link to move, and the second drive assembly drives the second link to rotate relative to the first link, thereby realizing the opening and closing of the air guide plate.

[0004] In the process of implementing the embodiments of this disclosure, at least the following problems were found in the related art:

[0005] In related technologies, when the air guide plate moves, the first drive component needs to drive the first link to move, and at the same time or subsequently the second drive component drives the second link to move. Since the first drive component needs time to drive the first link, and the second drive component also needs time to drive the second link, the time required for the air guide plate to move to the target position is long, and the air guide plate responds slowly to the user's commands.

[0006] It should be noted that the information disclosed in the background section above is only used to enhance the understanding of the background of this application, and therefore may include information that does not constitute prior art known to those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention

[0007] To provide a basic understanding of some aspects of the disclosed embodiments, a brief summary is given below. This summary is not intended as a general commentary, nor is it intended to identify key / important components or describe the scope of protection of these embodiments, but rather as a prelude to the detailed description that follows.

[0008] This disclosure provides a driving mechanism for an air conditioning deflector and an air conditioner, to solve the problem of long time required for the deflector to move to the target position in related technologies.

[0009] According to a first aspect of the present invention, a drive mechanism for an air conditioning deflector is provided, comprising:

[0010] Optionally, during the process of the air guide plate opening from the first position to the second position, the rotational connection point on the second link with the air guide plate moves linearly along the first straight line direction.

[0011] Optionally, during the process of the air guide plate opening from the first position to the second position, the motion trajectory of the first link at the rotational connection with the air guide plate includes a straight line segment trajectory and / or a curved segment trajectory.

[0012] Optionally, during the process of the air guide plate opening from the first position to the second position, the rotational connection point on the first connecting rod with the air guide plate moves linearly along the second linear direction; wherein the first linear direction and the second linear direction intersect.

[0013] Optionally, during the process of the air guide plate opening from the first position to the second position, the rotational connection point on the first connecting rod and the air guide plate successively moves in a straight line along the second straight line direction and in a curved line direction; wherein the angle between the first straight line direction and the second straight line direction is less than or equal to 30°.

[0014] Optionally, during the process of the air guide plate opening from the first position to the second position, the rotational connection point on the first link and the air guide plate successively moves in a straight line along the second straight line direction, moves in a curved line direction, and moves in a straight line along the third straight line direction.

[0015] Optionally, the first straight line direction and the third straight line direction intersect and the included angle is greater than the included angle between the first straight line direction and the second straight line direction; and / or the curved direction and the third straight line direction are located on the same side of the first straight line direction.

[0016] Optionally, during the process of the air guide plate opening from the first position to the second position, as the air guide plate opens, the distance between the motion trajectory of the first link and the rotational connection point of the air guide plate and the motion trajectory of the second link and the rotational connection point of the air guide plate increases.

[0017] Optionally, the first position is the closed position where the air guide plate closes the air outlet, and the second position is the maximum air supply position.

[0018] Optionally, the drive mechanism further includes: a guide member with a first guide mating part; the first link includes: a first link body with a rotating member drivingly connected to the first link body; a connecting part with a first rotating shaft disposed on the connecting part; the first link body is provided with a first guide part, which cooperates with the first guide mating part to guide the movement trajectory of the first link; during the process of the air guide plate opening from the first position to the second position, the movement trajectory of the first guide part is a first curved segment trajectory.

[0019] Optionally, the first curve segment trajectory includes: a first curve trajectory and a second curve trajectory connected sequentially along the direction of motion of the first rotation axis; wherein, the connection between the first sub-curve segment trajectory and the second curve trajectory forms an angle.

Under the condition that the rotating parts rotate at the same angle, the displacement of the second link is greater, thus the air guide plate moves faster and responds to user commands faster.

[0080] The term "and / or" describes an association between objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B means: A, or B, or A and B.

[0081] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in the present disclosure can be combined with each other.

[0082] Combination Figure 1-46 As shown, this embodiment of the present disclosure provides a driving mechanism for an air conditioning deflector.

[0083] The air conditioner includes an indoor unit 100 and an outdoor unit connected to the indoor unit. The indoor unit 100 includes a casing 1001, an evaporator, a fan, and an air guide plate 1002. The casing 1001 defines an air outlet duct. The evaporator and fan are located within the duct. The casing 1001 has an air inlet and an air outlet communicating with the duct. The air guide plate 1002 is located at the air outlet. The fan drives air through the air inlet into the duct, where it exchanges heat with the evaporator before being blown out from the air outlet. The air guide plate 1002 is used to adjust the air outlet direction; that is, the air outlet direction is different when the air guide plate 1002 is in different guiding positions.

[0084] The drive mechanism for the air conditioning deflector includes a linkage assembly and a rotating component 3. The linkage assembly includes a link, which includes a first link 1 and / or a second link 2.

[0085] The first link 1 is configured to be rotatably connected to the air guide plate 1002; the second link 2 is configured to be rotatably connected to the air guide plate 1002; the rotating component 3 includes a first driving part that is droopingly connected to the first link 1, and a second driving part that is droopingly connected to the second link 2.

[0086] When the rotating part 3 rotates in a set direction, the first driving part drives the first connecting rod 1 to move and the second driving part drives the second connecting rod 2 to move, so that the air guide plate 1002 opens.

[0087] When the rotating component 3 rotates in the opposite direction of the set direction, it drives the first connecting rod 1 to move through the first driving unit, and drives the second connecting rod 2 to move through the second driving unit, so as to close the air guide plate 1002. The set direction can be clockwise or counterclockwise.

[0088] The first link includes a first link body 18 and a connecting part 192, which is rotatably connected to the air guide plate and located at one end of the first link body.

[0089] During the opening of the air guide plate 1002, the motion trajectory of the first link 1 includes the first curved segment trajectory 513, the center of curvature of the first curved segment trajectory is a non-fixed point; and / or, the motion trajectory of the second link 2 includes the second curved segment trajectory, the center of curvature of the second curved segment trajectory is a non-fixed point.

[0090] During the opening of the air guide plate 1002, the motion trajectory of the first rod body 18 includes the first curved segment trajectory 513, where at least two points on the first curved segment trajectory have different radii of curvature, and / or, the motion trajectory of the second link 2 includes the second curved segment trajectory, where at least two points on the second curved segment trajectory have different radii of curvature.

[0091] like Figure 4 and Figure 27As shown, the center of curvature of the first curved segment trajectory is not a fixed point. The centers of curvature of at least two points on the first curved segment trajectory are not the same point. Thus, the first curved segment trajectory is non-circular, causing the first rod body 18 to have both a first extending motion (approximately perpendicular to the plane of the air outlet) and a motion deviating from the first extending direction (the direction of the first extending motion) along a first deviated motion direction. The first deviated motion direction and the first extending motion direction have a non-zero angle. For example, the first deviated motion direction is approximately along the width direction of the first rod body, and both the first deviated motion direction and the first extending motion direction are located within the plane of the first rod body 1. The first deviated motion direction and the first extending motion direction together synthesize the first motion of the first rod body 1.

[0092] The center of curvature of the second curved segment trajectory is not a fixed point; at least two points on the second curved segment trajectory have different centers of curvature. This makes the second curved segment trajectory non-circular, causing the second link 2 to exhibit both a second extension motion (approximately perpendicular to the plane of the air outlet) and a second deviation motion (along the direction of the second extension motion). The second deviation motion and the second extension motion have a non-zero angle; for example, the second deviation motion is approximately along the width of the second link. Both the second deviation motion and the second extension motion are located within the plane of the second link 2. The second deviation motion and the second extension motion together synthesize the second motion of the second link 2.

[0093] During the opening of the air guide plate 1002, the movement trajectory of the first rod body 18 includes the first curved segment trajectory and / or the movement trajectory of the second connecting rod 2 includes the second curved segment trajectory. This allows the first rod body and the connecting part to be made into an integral structure and directly rotated and connected to the air guide plate 1002 through the first rotating shaft, without the need for an additional crank as in related technologies. This avoids interference between the air guide plate 1002 and the housing 1001 during the opening of the air guide plate 1002. The second connecting rod 2 can also be made into an integral structure and directly rotated and connected to the air guide plate 1002 through the second rotating shaft, without the need for an additional crank as in related technologies. This avoids interference between the air guide plate 1002 and the housing 1001 during the opening of the air guide plate 1002.

[0094] Optionally, the first rod body and the connecting part are an integral structure and are directly rotatably connected to the air guide plate 1002 through the first rotating shaft; and / or, the second connecting rod 2 is an integral structure and is directly rotatably connected to the air guide plate 1002 through the second rotating shaft.

[0095] Optionally, such as Figure 4As shown, during the process of the air guide plate 1002 opening from the first position to the second position, the motion trajectory of the first rod body 18 includes the connected first sub-curved segment trajectory 514 and second sub-curved segment trajectory 515. The curvature center of the first sub-curved segment trajectory is located on the side of the first sub-curved segment trajectory facing the air outlet, and the curvature center of the second sub-curved segment trajectory is located on the side of the second sub-curved segment trajectory away from the air outlet. The motion trajectory of the second connecting rod 2 is a straight line trajectory N, as shown in the figure. Figure 28 As shown.

[0096] The first curve segment trajectory includes a first sub-curve segment trajectory and a second sub-curve trajectory. During the process of the air guide plate 1002 opening from the first position to the second position, the first connecting rod 1 passes through the first sub-curve segment trajectory and the second sub-curve segment trajectory in sequence.

[0097] The curvature center of the first sub-curve segment trajectory is located on the side of the first sub-curve segment trajectory facing the air outlet 1003, and the curvature center of the second sub-curve segment trajectory is located on the side of the second sub-curve segment trajectory away from the air outlet. That is, the curvature directions of the first sub-curve segment trajectory and the second sub-curve segment trajectory are different, thereby realizing that the first link 1 has a first deviation from the direction of motion in addition to the first extension motion direction.

[0098] The trajectory of the first sub-curve segment is not parallel to the length direction of the first link, and the center of curvature of the trajectory of the first sub-curve segment is a non-fixed point, that is, at least two segments on the trajectory of the first sub-curve segment have different centers of curvature; the trajectory of the second sub-curve segment is not parallel to the length direction of the first link, and the center of curvature of the trajectory of the second sub-curve segment is a non-fixed point, that is, at least two segments on the trajectory of the second sub-curve segment have different centers of curvature.

[0099] In this configuration, when the first rod body 18 moves along the trajectory of the first sub-curved segment, the first connecting rod 1 has a movement in the first extending direction and a movement in the first sub-movement direction. When the first connecting rod 1 moves along the trajectory of the second sub-curved segment, the first connecting rod 1 has a movement in the first extending direction and a movement in the second sub-movement direction. The first deviation direction includes the first sub-movement direction and the second sub-movement direction, which are different directions, i.e., they have different angles with the first extending direction.

[0100] Optionally, during the process of the air guide plate 1002 opening from the second position to the fourth position, the movable connection between the second link 2 and the air guide plate 1002 rotates around the first rotating axis. Taking the movable connection between the second link 2 and the air guide plate 1002 as an example where the second link 2 and the air guide plate 1002 are connected by rotation through the second rotating axis, the axis of the second rotating axis rotates around the axis of the first rotating axis.

[0101] During the process of the air guide plate 1002 opening from the second position to the fourth position, the first link 1 stops moving, as follows: Figure 28As shown, the motion trajectory of the second link 2 is a circular arc trajectory M.

[0102] In this configuration, the first link 1 stops moving, which simplifies the structure of the drive mechanism for the air conditioning air guide plate and reduces the cost of the drive mechanism for the air conditioning air guide plate while allowing the air guide plate 1002 to open from the second position to the fourth position.

[0103] The arc-shaped trajectory M is connected to the straight trajectory N and is located on one side of the straight trajectory, and the center of the arc-shaped trajectory M is located on the side of the arc-shaped trajectory M away from the air outlet.

[0104] Optionally, the first drive unit includes a first active unit, the second drive unit includes a second active unit, and the number of the first active unit and / or the second active unit is multiple. The first link 1 includes a first driven unit adapted to the first active unit, and the first driven unit is disposed on the first link body; the second link 2 includes a second driven unit adapted to the second active unit.

[0105] The first link 1 includes a first drive structure that is drivenly connected to the first drive unit, and the first drive structure is the first driven unit. The first drive structure includes a first groove structure, and the first drive unit includes a first protrusion structure disposed within the first groove structure and slidable relative to the first groove structure. In this case, the first protrusion structure includes a first driving unit, and there are multiple first driving units. Alternatively, the first drive unit includes a first groove structure, and the first drive structure includes a first protrusion structure disposed within the first groove structure and slidable relative to the first groove structure. In this case, the first groove structure includes a first driving unit, and there are multiple first driving units.

[0106] The second link 2 includes a second drive structure that is motive-connected to the second drive unit, and the second drive structure is the second driven unit. The second drive structure includes a second groove structure, and the second drive unit includes a second protrusion structure disposed within the second groove structure and slidable relative to the second groove structure. In this case, the second protrusion structure includes a second driving unit, and there are multiple second driving units. Alternatively, the second drive unit includes a second groove structure, and the second drive structure includes a second protrusion structure disposed within the second groove structure and slidable relative to the second groove structure. In this case, the second groove structure includes a second driving unit, and there are multiple second driving units.

[0107] The first drive unit can drive the first connecting rod 1 to move by the cooperation of the first groove structure and the first protrusion structure. The second drive unit can drive the second connecting rod 2 to move by the cooperation of the second groove structure and the second protrusion structure, thereby realizing the opening and closing of the air guide plate 1002.

[0108] In the first position, the driving point of the rotating component on the first connecting rod (the mating point of the first groove structure and the first protrusion structure) does not coincide with the direction of movement of the air guide plate, and the driving point of the rotating component on the second connecting rod (the mating point of the second groove structure and the second protrusion structure) does not coincide with the direction of movement of the air guide plate, so as to avoid forming a dead point position by coinciding with the direction of movement. In this way, the air guide plate cannot be manually pulled open when the air conditioner is powered off.

[0109] Optionally, there are multiple first driving parts, including first sub-driving parts and second sub-driving parts, and multiple second driving parts, including third sub-driving parts. One of the first sub-driving parts and the first driven part includes a first protrusion 31, and the other includes a first driving groove 11. That is, the first protrusion 31 is disposed on the rotating member 3, and the first driving groove 11 is disposed on the first connecting rod 1; or, the first driving groove 11 is disposed on the rotating member 3, and the first protrusion 31 is disposed on the first connecting rod 1. One of the second sub-driving parts and the first driven part includes a second protrusion 32, and the other includes a second driving groove 12.

[0110] The first groove structure includes a first driving groove 11 and a second driving groove 12; the first protrusion structure includes a first protrusion 31 and a second protrusion 32; during the process of the air guide plate 1002 opening from the first position to the second position, the first protrusion 31 is disposed in the first driving groove 11 and can slide relative to the first driving groove 11, and the second protrusion 32 is disposed in the second driving groove 12 and can slide relative to the second driving groove 12; wherein, as Figure 7 and Figure 30 As shown, the first drive groove 11 and / or the second drive groove 12 are curved grooves.

[0111] When the first drive groove 11 and the second drive groove 12 coexist, at least one of the first drive groove 11 and the second drive groove 12 is a curved groove, such that the motion trajectory of the first rod body includes the first curved segment trajectory.

[0112] like Figure 11 As shown, the drive mechanism for the air conditioner deflector includes a power source, which comprises a drive component 7, a transmission component, and a transmission shaft 4. The transmission shaft 4 is located between the drive component 7 and the transmission component, so that the drive component 7 drives the transmission component to move via the transmission shaft 4. The transmission component is the aforementioned rotating component 3, and the drive component 7 includes a motor, which is connected to the rotating component 3 via the transmission shaft 4, driving the rotating component 3 to rotate.

[0113] like Figure 21 , Figure 22 , Figure 32 As shown, the drive shaft 4 is provided with a first limiting part 401, and the transmission component is provided with a first limiting engagement part 301 that cooperates with the first limiting part 401 to limit the movement of the transmission component relative to the drive shaft 4 along the first limiting direction; as Figure 31As shown, the transmission shaft 4 is provided with a second limiting part 402, and the transmission component is provided with a second limiting mating part 302 that cooperates with the second limiting part 402 to restrict the movement of the transmission component relative to the transmission shaft 4 along the second limiting direction. The first limiting direction is the movement direction (rotation direction) of the transmission component, and the second limiting direction is perpendicular to the first limiting direction.

[0114] The first limiting part 401 cooperates with the first limiting mating part 301 to limit the transmission component in the first limiting direction, that is, to limit the transmission component along the direction of movement. This achieves relative stillness between the transmission component and the transmission shaft 4 along the direction of movement of the transmission component, allowing the transmission shaft 4 to drive the transmission component to move along the direction of movement of the transmission component, that is, the transmission component can move with the transmission shaft 4. The second limiting part 402 cooperates with the second limiting mating part 302 to limit the transmission component in the second limiting direction. This, together with the first limiting part 401 and the first limiting mating part 301, achieves limiting of the transmission component in multiple directions, enabling the transmission component to achieve the expected movement effect.

[0115] Optionally, the first limiting part 401 and the second limiting part 402 are arranged sequentially along the circumference of the transmission shaft 4, so that the space in the circumference of the transmission shaft 4 can be reasonably utilized, making the structure of the transmission shaft 4 more compact.

[0116] There are multiple first limiting parts 401 and multiple second limiting parts 402, and the multiple first limiting parts 401 and multiple second limiting parts 402 are arranged sequentially along the circumference of the transmission shaft 4, and the first limiting parts 401 and the second limiting parts 402 are arranged at intervals, so that the force is evenly distributed throughout the transmission shaft 4.

[0117] Optionally, such as Figure 21 , Figure 22 , Figure 32 As shown, one of the first limiting part 401 and the first limiting mating part 301 is a first limiting protrusion 4011, and the other is a limiting groove 3011 adapted to the first limiting protrusion 4011. The first limiting protrusion 4011 is limited within the limiting groove 3011.

[0118] The first limiting part 401 is a first limiting protrusion 4011, and the first limiting mating part 301 is a limiting groove 3011. Alternatively, the first limiting part 401 can be a limiting groove 3011, and the first limiting mating part 301 can be a first limiting protrusion 4011. The first limiting protrusion 4011 is adapted to the limiting groove 3011, and the first limiting protrusion 4011 is limited within the limiting groove 3011. This can limit the movement direction of the transmission component (i.e., the first limiting direction), and can also limit the transmission component in the opposite direction of the movement direction. For example, if the transmission shaft 4 rotates clockwise, the first limiting direction is the clockwise direction.

[0119] Optionally, such as Figure 21 , Figure 22and Figure 32 As shown, the transmission shaft 4 is provided with a third limiting part 403, and the transmission component is provided with a third limiting engagement part 304 that cooperates with the third limiting part 403, so as to restrict the movement of the transmission component relative to the transmission shaft 4 in a direction opposite to the second limiting direction, thereby making the position of the transmission component more stable.

[0120] Optionally, such as Figure 32 As shown, when the first limiting part 401 is the first limiting protrusion 4011, the third limiting mating part 304 is the limiting rib 3041 provided on the inner wall surface of the limiting groove 3011, and the third limiting part 403 is the surface of the first limiting protrusion 4011 facing the limiting rib 3041 and abutting against the limiting rib 3041. The limiting rib 3041 and the third limiting part 403 are arranged sequentially in a direction opposite to the second limiting direction to restrict the movement of the transmission member relative to the transmission shaft 4 in a direction opposite to the second limiting direction. Alternatively, if the first limiting part 401 is a limiting groove 3011, the third limiting part 403 is a limiting rib 3041 provided on the inner wall surface of the limiting groove 3011, and the third limiting mating part 304 is the surface of the first limiting protrusion 4011 facing the limiting rib 3041 and abutting against the limiting rib 3041. The third limiting mating part 304 and the limiting rib 3041 are arranged sequentially in a direction opposite to the second limiting direction to restrict the movement of the transmission member relative to the transmission shaft 4 in a direction opposite to the second limiting direction.

[0121] By providing a limiting rib 3041 on the inner wall of the limiting groove 3011, and the mutual abutment between the limiting rib 3041 and the third limiting part 403, the movement of the transmission member relative to the transmission shaft 4 in a direction opposite to the second limiting direction is restricted. This structure increases the functionality of the first limiting protrusion 4011 and the limiting groove 3011, and simplifies the structure of the transmission member and the transmission shaft 4.

[0122] Optionally, such as Figure 32 As shown, the transmission component is provided with a mounting hole 303, the transmission shaft 4 is disposed in the mounting hole 303, the first limiting fitting part 301 is disposed on the inner wall surface of the mounting hole 303, and the second limiting direction is the direction in which the transmission shaft 4 is inserted into the mounting hole 303.

[0123] The mounting hole 303 penetrates the transmission component along its thickness direction. The first limiting fit part 301 is provided on the inner wall surface of the mounting hole 303. For example, the first limiting fit part 301 is a limiting groove 3011 provided on the inner wall surface of the mounting hole 303. Integrating the first limiting fit part 301 into the mounting hole 303 can improve the compactness of the transmission component structure.

[0124] Optionally, such as Figure 12 , Figure 21 , Figure 22As shown, one of the second limiting part 402 and the second limiting mating part 302 is a buckle 4021, and the other is a slot 3021 adapted to the buckle 4021. The buckle 4021 is inserted into the slot 3021 and engages with the slot 3021.

[0125] The slot 3021 includes a first slot wall 3022, and the buckle 4021 abuts against the first slot wall 3022. When the second limiting part 402 is the buckle 4021 and the second limiting mating part 302 is the slot 3021, the first slot wall 3022 and the buckle 4021 are arranged sequentially along the second limiting direction; alternatively, the second limiting mating part 302 can be the buckle 4021 and the second limiting part 402 can be the slot 3021, with the first slot wall 3022 and the buckle 4021 arranged sequentially in the opposite direction to the second limiting direction. Through the cooperation of the buckle 4021 and the slot 3021, the second limiting direction of the transmission component is limited, and this method has a simple structure.

[0126] like Figure 12 As shown, the second limiting fitting part 302 is provided on the surface of the transmission member that is away from the transmission shaft 4.

[0127] like Figure 22 As shown, the first limiting part 401 includes a first limiting protrusion 4011, the second limiting part 402 includes a latch 4021, and the drive shaft 4 is also provided with a support protrusion 404. Both the support protrusion 404 and the second limiting part 402 are located on the surface of the drive shaft 4 facing the transmission component. The support protrusion 404 is positioned between multiple latches 4021, and a gap is provided between the support protrusion 404 and the latches 4021 to enhance the deformation capacity of the latches 4021. The support protrusion 404 passes through the mounting hole 303 and is adapted to fit the mounting hole 303, that is, the outer wall surface of the support protrusion 404 abuts against the inner wall surface of the mounting hole 303, further enhancing the limiting effect of the transmission component and the drive shaft 4 along the first limiting direction. Furthermore, the support protrusion 404 enhances the strength of the drive shaft 4.

[0128] Optionally, such as Figure 4 and Figure 27 As shown, the drive mechanism for the air conditioning deflector also includes a cover 51. The cover 51 is located between the drive member 7 and the transmission member and abuts against the transmission member. It is used to restrict the transmission member from moving towards the drive member 7, that is, to restrict the transmission member from moving relative to the transmission shaft 4 in the second limiting direction, thereby enhancing the limiting effect on the movement of the transmission member in the second limiting direction.

[0129] Optionally, the surface of the cover 51 facing the transmission member is provided with a second limiting protrusion 511, which abuts against the transmission member to restrict the transmission member from moving towards the drive member 7; and / or the surface of the transmission member facing the cover 51 is provided with a third limiting protrusion 305, which abuts against the cover 51 to restrict the transmission member from moving towards the drive member 7.

[0130] The cover 51 has a connecting hole, through which the drive shaft 4 passes to be inserted into the mounting hole 303. A second limiting protrusion 511 and a third limiting protrusion 305 abut against each other. The second limiting protrusion 511 is arranged circumferentially around the connecting hole, and the third limiting protrusion 305 is arranged circumferentially around the mounting hole 303. The first limiting part 401 is the first limiting protrusion 4011. The inner wall of the connecting hole has clearance grooves, the number of which is equal to and corresponds one-to-one with the number of the first limiting protrusions 4011, so that the first limiting protrusions 4011 pass through the clearance grooves.

[0131] like Figure 10 As shown, the driving mechanism for the air conditioning deflector includes a limiting member 6, which is located between the first link 1 and the second link 2. The limiting member 6 is used to restrict the movement of the first link 1 toward the second link 2 and / or to restrict the movement of the second link 2 toward the first link 1, so as to avoid collision between the first link 1 and the second link 2 during their movement.

[0132] Optionally, the limiting member 6 abuts against the first link 1 to restrict the movement of the first link 1 toward the second link 2; and / or, the limiting member 6 abuts against the second link 2 to restrict the movement of the second link 2 toward the first link 1.

[0133] Optionally, the limiting member 6 has a first abutting rib 63 on its surface facing the first connecting rod 1, and the first abutting rib 63 abuts against the first connecting rod 1. The first abutting rib 63 abuts against the first connecting rod 1 to reduce the contact area between the limiting member 6 and the first connecting rod 1, thereby reducing the friction between the limiting member 6 and the first connecting rod 1. The first abutting rib 63 extends along the length direction of the limiting member 6. There are multiple first abutting ribs 63, and the multiple first abutting ribs 63 are arranged sequentially along the width direction of the limiting member 6.

[0134] The limiting member 6 has a second abutment rib on its surface facing the second connecting rod 2, and the second abutment rib abuts against the second connecting rod 2. The second abutment rib abuts against the second connecting rod 2 to reduce the contact area between the limiting member 6 and the second connecting rod 2, thereby reducing the friction between the limiting member 6 and the second connecting rod 2. The second abutment rib extends along the length direction of the limiting member 6. There are multiple second abutment ribs, which are arranged sequentially along the width direction of the limiting member 6.

[0135] like Figure 30As shown, the surface of the first connecting rod 1 facing the limiting member 6 is provided with a third abutting rib 15, which abuts against the limiting member 6. The third abutting rib 15 abuts against the limiting member 6 to reduce the contact area between the limiting member 6 and the first connecting rod 1, thereby reducing the friction between the limiting member 6 and the first connecting rod 1. The third abutting rib 15 extends along the length direction of the first connecting rod 1. There are multiple first abutting ribs 63, and multiple third abutting ribs 15 are arranged sequentially along the width direction of the first connecting rod 1.

[0136] like Figure 29 As shown, the surface of the second connecting rod 2 facing the limiting member 6 is provided with a fourth abutting rib 27, which abuts against the limiting member 6. The fourth abutting rib 27 abuts against the limiting member 6 to reduce the contact area between the limiting member 6 and the second connecting rod 2, thereby reducing the frictional force between them. The fourth abutting rib 27 extends along the length of the second connecting rod 2. Figure 9 (e) extends. There are multiple fourth abutment ribs 27, and these multiple fourth abutment ribs 27 extend along the width direction of the second connecting rod 2 ( Figure 9 Set them sequentially (f).

[0137] Optionally, such as Figure 23 As shown, the drive mechanism for the air conditioning deflector also includes a mechanism box 5. The first link 1 and the second link 2 are at least partially disposed inside the mechanism box 5 and move between the position of extending out of the mechanism box 5 and the position of retracting into the mechanism box 5. The limiting member 6 is installed in the mechanism box 5, thereby fixing the limiting member 6 through the mechanism box 5.

[0138] Optionally, such as Figure 23 As shown, the mechanism box 5 has an installation notch, and the limiting member 6 includes a limiting body 61 and a stop rib 62. The limiting body 61 is located inside the mechanism box 5; the stop rib 62 is located at the end of the limiting body 61 and extends out of the installation notch. There are multiple stop ribs 62, respectively located at opposite ends of the limiting body 61; wherein the size of the stop rib 62 is larger than the size of the installation notch to prevent the stop rib 62 from entering the mechanism box 5. The installation notch is adapted to the limiting body 61 and cooperates with the stop rib 62 to achieve the positioning of the limiting member 6.

[0139] Optionally, the mechanism box 5 includes a box body 52 and a box cover 51, with the box cover 51 covering the box body 52; wherein, the limiting member 6 is clamped between the box body 52 and the box cover 51.

[0140] The box body 52 and the box cover 51 are detachably connected. The limiting member 6 is clamped between the box body 52 and the box cover 51. When the box cover 51 is placed on the box body 52, the limiting member 6 can also be positioned.

[0141] Optionally, the first link 1 is disposed between the limiting member 6 and the mechanism box 5, and the surface of the first link 1 facing the mechanism box 5 abuts against the mechanism box 5 to restrict the movement of the first link 1 toward the mechanism box 5, that is, to move in a direction away from the limiting member 6, thereby further limiting the first link 1 in the line direction connecting the limiting member 6 and the mechanism box 5; and / or, the second link 2 is disposed between the limiting member 6 and the mechanism box 5, and the surface of the second link 2 facing the mechanism box 5 abuts against the mechanism box 5 to restrict the movement of the second link 2 toward the mechanism box 5, that is, to move in a direction away from the limiting member 6, thereby further limiting the second link 2 in the line direction connecting the limiting member 6 and the mechanism box 5.

[0142] Optionally, the power source includes a transmission component, which is drivenly connected to both the first link 1 and the second link 2. The transmission component is located between the first link 1 and the second link 2 and abuts against the first link 1 and / or the second link 2.

[0143] The transmission component uses the cooperation of the first driving part and the first driving structure to abut against the first connecting rod 1, and the transmission component uses the cooperation of the second driving part and the second driving structure to abut against the second connecting rod 2, thereby preventing the first connecting rod 1 from moving toward the second connecting rod 2 and the second connecting rod 2 from moving toward the first connecting rod 1.

[0144] Optionally, such as Figure 10 As shown, the transmission component and the limiting component 6 are arranged sequentially along the length direction of the first link 1 or the second link 2. In this way, different positions of the first link 1 or the second link 2 along the length direction are limited by the transmission component and the limiting component 6 respectively, so as to avoid collisions at different positions of the first link 1 and the second link 2 along the length direction.

[0145] Example 1:

[0146] like Figure 1-22 As shown, the first drive groove 11 is a curved groove, and the second drive groove 12 is a curved groove.

[0147] The dimensions of the first protrusion 31 are adapted to those of the first drive groove 11. That is, when the first protrusion 31 is located in the first drive groove 11 and slides relative to the first drive groove 11, it can drive the first connecting rod 1 to move relative to the rotating member 3. In other words, the cooperation between the first protrusion 31 and the first drive groove 11 can provide driving force for the movement of the first connecting rod 1. And the dimensions of the second protrusion 32 are adapted to those of the second drive groove 12.

[0148] The first protrusion 31 engages with the first drive groove 11, and the second protrusion 32 engages with the second drive groove 12, together realizing the movement of the first connecting rod 1. Compared to the first connecting rod 1 and the rotating member 3, which are only connected by a protrusion and a drive groove, this application sets the first protrusion 31 to engage with the first drive groove 11, and the second protrusion 32 to engage with the second drive groove 12. This can achieve stable movement of the first connecting rod 1, and even with a relatively simple structure of the first drive groove 11 and the second drive groove 12, it can achieve the superposition of the first extension movement direction and the first deviation movement direction of the first connecting rod 1.

[0149] like Figure 7 As shown, at least one of the first drive groove 11 and the second drive groove 12 needs to be a curved groove to meet the requirements of the motion trajectory of the first link 1.

[0150] Optionally, if both the first drive groove 11 and the second drive groove 12 are curved grooves, the first drive groove 11 and the second drive groove 12 are arranged opposite to each other.

[0151] When the first link 1 moves by a preset displacement, the sliding amount of the first protrusion 31 relative to the first drive groove 11 and the sliding amount of the second protrusion 32 relative to the second drive groove 12 are different. The first drive groove 11 and the second drive groove 12 are arranged opposite to each other, so that the one with a larger sliding amount plays the main role in driving the first link 1 to move, while the one with a smaller sliding amount plays a role similar to a fulcrum or a rotation point.

[0152] like Figure 7 As shown, the first drive groove 11 and the second drive groove 12 are both provided on the first connecting rod 1, and the first drive groove 11 and the second drive groove 12 are arranged opposite to each other. The first drive groove 11 and the second drive groove 12 are both along the width direction of the first connecting rod 1. Figure 7 (b) extends along the length direction of the first link 1. Figure 7 a) Set them sequentially. For example... Figure 11 As shown, the first protrusion 31 and the second protrusion 32 are arranged sequentially along the circumference of the rotating member 3.

[0153] The cooperation between the first protrusion 31 and the first drive groove 11, and the cooperation between the second protrusion 32 and the second drive groove 12, can meet the requirements for the movement trajectory of the first link 1, and make the first drive groove 11 and the second drive groove 12 occupy a small volume on the first link 1, thereby reducing the size of the first link 1.

[0154] The extension directions of both the first drive groove 11 and the second drive groove 12 are not parallel to the length direction of the first connecting rod 1. The first protrusion 31 slides relative to the first drive groove 11 along its extension direction, and the second protrusion 32 slides relative to the second drive groove 12 along its extension direction. Thus, the engagement of the first protrusion 31 with the first drive groove 11 drives the first connecting rod 1 to move; the engagement of the second protrusion 32 with the second drive groove 12 also drives the first connecting rod 1 to move.

[0155] Optionally, such as Figure 7 As shown, when both the first drive groove 11 and the second drive groove 12 are curved grooves, the first drive groove 11 includes a first sub-drive groove 111 and a second sub-drive groove 112. The second sub-drive groove 112 is connected to the first sub-drive groove 111. When the air guide plate 1002 moves from the first position to the second position, the first protrusion 31 slides through the first sub-drive groove 111 and the second sub-drive groove 112 in sequence. The length of the first sub-drive groove 111 is less than the length of the second sub-drive groove 112, and the curvature of the first sub-drive groove 111 is greater than the curvature of the second sub-drive groove 112.

[0156] Both the first sub-drive groove 111 and the second sub-drive groove 112 are curved grooves, and the curvature of the first sub-drive groove 111 is greater than that of the second sub-drive groove 112. This results in a greater force exerted on the first sub-drive groove 111 when the first protrusion 31 is located within it, which is greater than the force exerted on the second sub-drive groove 112 when it is located within it. This initiates the opening process of the air guide plate 1002, changing its speed from zero to greater than zero. Because the opening process of the air guide plate 1002 is relatively short, the length of the first sub-drive groove 111 is less than the length of the second sub-drive groove 112.

[0157] The connection between the first sub-drive slot 111 and the second sub-drive slot 112 adopts a smooth transition.

[0158] Optionally, if both the first drive groove 11 and the second drive groove 12 are curved grooves, the second drive groove 12 includes a third sub-drive groove 121 and a fourth sub-drive groove 122. The fourth sub-drive groove 122 is connected to the third sub-drive groove 121, and during the process of the air guide plate 1002 moving from the first position to the second position, the second protrusion 32 slides through the third sub-drive groove 121 and the fourth sub-drive groove 122 in sequence; the length of the third sub-drive groove 121 is less than the length of the fourth sub-drive groove 122, and the curvature of the third sub-drive groove 121 is greater than the curvature of the fourth sub-drive groove 122.

[0159] Both the third sub-drive groove 121 and the fourth sub-drive groove 122 are curved grooves, and the curvature of the third sub-drive groove 121 is greater than that of the fourth sub-drive groove 122. This results in a greater force exerted on the third sub-drive groove 121 when the second protrusion 32 is located within it, which is greater than the force exerted on the fourth sub-drive groove 122 when it is located within it. This initiates the opening process of the air guide plate 1002, changing its speed from zero to greater than zero. Because the opening process of the air guide plate 1002 is relatively short, the length of the third sub-drive groove 121 is less than the length of the fourth sub-drive groove 122.

[0160] Optionally, the plurality of first driving parts include a fourth sub-driving part; one of the fourth sub-driving part and the first driven part includes a fourth protrusion 34, and the other includes a fourth drive groove 13.

[0161] The first groove structure also includes a fourth drive groove 13; the first protrusion structure also includes a fourth protrusion 34. During the process of the air guide plate 1002 opening from the first position to the second position, the fourth protrusion 34 is disposed in the fourth drive groove 13 and can slide relative to the fourth drive groove 13; wherein, the fourth drive groove 13 is a curved groove.

[0162] The fourth protrusion 34 is adapted to the size of the fourth drive groove 13.

[0163] During the process of the air guide plate 1002 moving from the first position to the second position, the first protrusion 31 is at least partially located in the first drive groove 11, the second protrusion 32 is always located in the second drive groove 12, and the fourth protrusion 34 is always located in the fourth drive groove 13. In this way, at least two protrusions are always engaged with at least two drive grooves at the same time, and the fourth drive groove 13 is a curved groove, thereby realizing that the first connecting rod 1 has both the first deviation from the direction of movement and the first extension direction of movement.

[0164] When the fourth drive groove 13, the first drive groove 11, and the second drive groove 12 are all located on the first connecting rod 1 or the rotating member 3, the fourth drive groove 13 intersects with the extension line of the first drive groove 11 and / or intersects with the extension line of the second drive groove 12.

[0165] Taking the first groove structure located on the first connecting rod 1 as an example, the extension lines of the first driving groove 11 and / or the second driving groove 12 intersect with the fourth driving groove 13, which can make full use of the space of the first connecting rod 1 and avoid the first connecting rod 1 being too large, thereby reducing the size of the driving mechanism used for the air conditioning guide plate.

[0166] During the opening process of the air guide plate 1002, the air guide plate 1002 sequentially passes through the first position, the third position, and the second position. From the first position to the third position, as... Figure 2As shown, the first protrusion 31 has at least a partial travel within the first drive groove 11 and is slidable relative to the first drive groove 11; the second protrusion 32 is located within the second drive groove 12 and is slidable relative to the second drive groove 12; and the fourth protrusion 34 is located within the fourth drive groove 13 and is slidable relative to the fourth drive groove 13. From the third position to the second position, as... Figure 13 As shown, the first protrusion 31 is dislodged from the first drive groove 11, the second protrusion 32 is located in the second drive groove 12 and can slide relative to the second drive groove 12, and the fourth protrusion 34 is located in the fourth drive groove 13 and can slide relative to the fourth drive groove 13.

[0167] In other words, from the first position to the second position, the second protrusion 32 always engages with the second drive groove 12, the fourth protrusion 34 always engages with the fourth drive groove 13, and the first protrusion 31 first engages with the first drive groove 11 and then disengages from it, i.e., no longer engages. This ensures that during the process of the air guide plate 1002 moving from the first position to the second position, there are always at least two protrusions engaging with the two drive grooves respectively. Moreover, the first protrusion 31 and the first drive groove 11 engage intermittently, i.e., they disengage, which can avoid the first drive groove 11 being too large.

[0168] Optionally, when the fourth drive groove 13, the first drive groove 11, and the second drive groove 12 are all located in the first connecting rod 1, the first connecting rod 1 is provided with a clearance notch 191, and the rotation axis of the rotating member 3 is located in the clearance notch 191.

[0169] When the rotating part 3 rotates around its own rotation axis, it drives the first connecting rod 1 to move. The clearance notch 191 moves with the first connecting rod 1, that is, the clearance notch 191 moves relative to the rotation axis of the rotating part 3, so that the first protrusion structure on the rotating part 3 matches the first groove structure at different positions.

[0170] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the first drive groove 11 and the second drive groove 12 are located on one side of the clearance notch 191, and the fourth drive groove 13 is located on the other side of the clearance notch 191, so that when the rotating member 3 rotates, it can satisfy the intermittent engagement between the first protrusion 31 and the first drive groove 11, and at least two protrusions on the rotating member 3 can engage with the two drive grooves respectively.

[0171] Optionally, the first slot structure further includes a ninth drive slot 14, which is connected to the fourth drive slot 13, such as... Figure 15 , Figure 17 and Figure 19As shown, during the process of the air guide plate 1002 opening from the second position to the fourth position, the fourth protrusion 34 is located in the ninth drive groove 14 and can slide relative to the ninth drive groove 14; wherein, during the process of the air guide plate 1002 moving from the second position to the fourth position, the ninth drive groove 14 is an arc-shaped groove with the rotation center of the rotating member 3 as its center.

[0172] The fourth protrusion 34 is adapted to the size of the ninth drive groove 14.

[0173] When the air guide plate 1002 continues to open from the second position, the fourth protrusion 34 slides from the fourth drive groove 13 into the ninth drive groove 14 and slides relative to the ninth drive groove 14. The first protrusion 31 disengages from the first drive groove 11. In the initial stage of continued opening, the second protrusion 32 is still located in the second drive groove 12. After the initial stage, the second protrusion 32 also disengages from the second drive groove 12. The ninth drive groove 14 is an arc-shaped groove, and the center of the ninth drive groove 14 is the rotation center of the rotating member 3. Thus, when the air guide plate 1002 continues to open from the second position, the rotating member 3 rotates, and the fourth protrusion 34 rotates relative to the ninth drive groove 14 around the rotation center of the rotating member 3. The first connecting rod 1 remains stationary.

[0174] The curvature of the ninth drive slot 14 is greater than that of the fourth drive slot 13.

[0175] The fourth drive groove 13 extends along the length direction of the first connecting rod 1. The first drive groove 11 and the fourth drive groove 13 are arranged sequentially along the width direction of the first connecting rod 1, and / or the second drive groove 12 and the fourth drive groove 13 are arranged sequentially along the width direction of the first connecting rod 1, so as to reduce the dimension of the first connecting rod 1 in the length direction.

[0176] like Figure 15 As shown, the driving mechanism for the air conditioner deflector also includes an eleventh driving groove 16, which is located in the first connecting rod 1 or rotating member 3 where the second driving groove 12 is located. The eleventh driving groove 16 is connected to the second driving groove 12 and is adapted to the second protrusion 32. When the deflector 1002 continues to open from the second position, the second protrusion 32 slides from the second driving groove 12 into the eleventh driving groove 16 and can slide relative to the eleventh driving groove 16 until the deflector 1002 moves to the seventh position.

[0177] The eleventh drive groove 16 is an arc-shaped groove, and during the process of the air guide plate 1002 moving from the second position to the fourth position, the center of the circle where the eleventh drive groove 16 is located is the rotation center of the rotating component 3. In this way, when the air guide plate 1002 moves from the second position to the seventh position, the sliding of the second protrusion 32 relative to the eleventh rotating groove will not drive the first connecting rod 1 to move, and will make the position of the first connecting rod 1 more stable, and will not hinder the rotation of the rotating component 3, that is, it will not affect the rotating component 3 from continuing to drive the second connecting rod 2 to move.

[0178] When the air guide plate 1002 continues to move from the seventh position to the fourth position, the second protrusion 32 disengages from the eleventh drive groove 16 to prevent the second protrusion 32 from always engaging with the eleventh drive groove 16, which would cause the size of the eleventh drive groove 16 to become too large. During the opening process, the air guide plate 1002 sequentially passes through the second position, the seventh position, and the fourth position.

[0179] When both the eleventh drive groove 16 and the fourth drive groove 13 are located on the first connecting rod 1 or the rotating member 3, the fourth drive groove 13 has a through-hole 131 for the second protrusion 32 to pass through. After the second protrusion 32 slides out of the eleventh drive groove 16, it protrudes through the through-hole 131 as the rotating member 3 continues to rotate. Similarly, after the first protrusion 31 slides out of the first drive groove 11, it protrudes through the through-hole 131 as the rotating member 3 continues to rotate.

[0180] When both the eleventh drive groove 16 and the ninth drive groove 14 are located on the first connecting rod 1 or the rotating member 3, during the process of the air guide plate 1002 moving from the second position to the fourth position, the circles where the eleventh drive groove 16 and the ninth drive groove 14 are located are concentric circles, and the center of the concentric circles is the rotation center of the rotating member 3.

[0181] When both the eleventh drive groove 16 and the fourth drive groove 13 are located on the first connecting rod 1 or the rotating member 3, the extension line of the eleventh drive groove 16 intersects with the fourth drive groove 13, so as to reduce the size of the first connecting rod 1 or the rotating member 3 where the eleventh drive groove 16 and the fourth drive groove 13 are located.

[0182] During the process of the air guide plate 1002 moving from the second position to the fourth position, the ninth drive groove 14 and the eleventh drive groove 16 are located on opposite sides of the rotation center of the rotating member 3. On the one hand, compared with being located on the same side of the rotation center, being located on opposite sides can make the structure of the first connecting rod 1 or the rotating member 3 with the ninth drive groove 14 and the eleventh drive groove 16 more compact, and the ninth drive groove 14 and the eleventh drive groove 16 are arranged sequentially along the length direction of the first connecting rod 1.

[0183] The seventh position is located between the second position and the circumferential air supply position.

[0184] like Figure 17 As shown, the driving mechanism for the air conditioner air guide plate also includes a tenth protrusion 36, which is located on the first connecting rod 1 or rotating member 3 where the fourth protrusion 34 is located. During the process of the air guide plate 1002 moving from the first position to the second position, the tenth protrusion 36 is located outside the ninth driving groove 14. During the process of the air guide plate 1002 moving from the second position to the fourth position, the tenth protrusion 36 is located inside the ninth driving groove 14 and can slide relative to the ninth driving groove 14.

[0185] The tenth protrusion 36 is adapted to the ninth drive groove 14. Furthermore, the distance between the tenth protrusion 36 and the rotation center of the rotating member 3 is equal to the distance between the fourth protrusion 34 and the rotation center of the rotating member 3. Taking the example where both the tenth protrusion 36 and the fourth protrusion 34 are located on the rotating member 3, the tenth protrusion 36 and the fourth protrusion 34 are arranged sequentially along the circumference of the rotating member 3.

[0186] When the air guide plate 1002 is not opened to the second position, the tenth protrusion 36 is located in the clearance notch 191. The fourth drive groove 13 is provided with a through-inlet 132. When the air guide plate 1002 is opened to the second position, the tenth protrusion 36 enters the ninth drive groove 14 through the through-inlet 132.

[0187] like Figure 13 As shown, during the process of the air guide plate 1002 moving from the second position to the fourth position, the fourth protrusion 34 and the tenth protrusion 36 are both located in the ninth drive groove 14 and can slide relative to the ninth drive groove 14, thereby improving the positional stability of the first connecting rod 1.

[0188] Optionally, such as Figure 9 and Figure 12 As shown, one of the third driving part and the second driven part includes a third protrusion 33, and the other includes a third drive groove 21. The first protrusion 31 is disposed in the first drive groove 11 and can slide relative to the first drive groove 11, the second protrusion 32 is disposed in the second drive groove 12 and can slide relative to the second drive groove 12, and the third protrusion 33 is disposed in the third drive groove 21 and can slide relative to the third drive groove 21, so that the first connecting rod 1 and the second connecting rod 2 together drive the air guide plate 1002 to move from the first position to the second position.

[0189] Optionally, the plurality of second driving parts include a fifth sub-driving part; one of the fifth sub-driving part and the second driven part includes a fifth protrusion 35, and the other includes a fifth drive groove 23.

[0190] When both the first drive groove 11 and the second drive groove 12 are curved grooves, the second groove structure includes a third drive groove 21 and a fifth drive groove 23; the second protrusion structure includes a third protrusion 33 and a fifth protrusion 35; during the process of the air guide plate 1002 opening from the first position to the second position, the third protrusion 33 is disposed in the third drive groove 21 and can slide relative to the third drive groove 21, and the fifth protrusion 35 is disposed in the fifth drive groove 23 and can slide relative to the fifth drive groove 23; wherein, the third drive groove 21 is a straight groove, and the fifth drive groove 23 is a curved groove.

[0191] The third protrusion 33 is sized to match the third drive groove 21. The fifth protrusion 35 is sized to match the fifth drive groove 23.

[0192] The cooperation between the third protrusion 33 and the third drive groove 21, and the cooperation between the fifth protrusion 35 and the fifth drive groove 23, jointly drive the second connecting rod 2 to move. Moreover, the third drive groove 21 is a straight groove, and the fifth drive groove 23 is a curved groove, so that the second connecting rod 2 moves along a straight trajectory during the process of the air guide plate 1002 opening from the first position to the second position.

[0193] Optionally, when both the third drive groove 21 and the fifth drive groove 23 are provided on the second link 2, neither the third drive groove 21 nor the fifth drive groove 23 is parallel to the length direction of the second link 2, so that when the third protrusion 33 cooperates with the third drive groove 21, it can apply a force to the third drive groove 21 to drive the second link 2 to move, and when the fifth protrusion 35 cooperates with the fifth drive groove 23, it can apply a force to the fifth drive groove 23 to drive the second link 2 to move.

[0194] The extension line of the third drive groove 21 intersects with the fifth drive groove 23, which satisfies the requirements for the motion trajectory of the second link 2 on the one hand, and reduces the volume occupied by the third drive groove 21 and the fifth drive groove 23 on the other hand.

[0195] Optionally, such as Figure 9 As shown, the second groove structure also includes a tenth drive groove 22, which is connected to the third drive groove 21. During the process of the air guide plate 1002 opening from the second position to the fourth position, the third protrusion 33 is located in the tenth drive groove 22 and can slide relative to the tenth drive groove 22. The tenth drive groove 22 is connected to the side of the third drive groove 21 away from the air outlet, and forms an angle at the connection with the third drive groove 21. The tenth drive groove 22 is an arc-shaped groove.

[0196] The third protrusion 33 is adapted to the size of the tenth drive groove 22.

[0197] like Figure 16 As shown, when the air guide plate 1002 continues to open from the second position, the third protrusion 33 slides into the tenth drive groove 22 and can slide relative to the tenth drive groove 22 to drive the second connecting rod 2 to move. The tenth drive groove 22 is an arc-shaped groove so that the movement trajectory of the second connecting rod 2 is arc-shaped.

[0198] Since the second connecting rod 2 is always moving during the rotation of the rotating component 3, the center of the arc where the tenth drive groove 22 is located deviates from the rotation center of the rotating component 3 during the process of the air guide plate 1002 moving from the second position to the fourth position.

[0199] Optionally, such as Figure 16As shown, the second groove structure also includes a thirteenth drive groove 24, which is connected to the fifth drive groove 23. During the process of the air guide plate 1002 opening from the second position to the fourth position, the fifth protrusion 35 is located in the thirteenth drive groove 24 and can slide relative to the thirteenth drive groove 24. The thirteenth drive groove 24 is connected to the side of the fifth drive groove 23 away from the air outlet, and forms an angle at the connection with the fifth drive groove 23. The thirteenth drive groove 24 is an arc-shaped groove, and the circle where the thirteenth drive groove 24 is located is concentric with the circle where the tenth drive groove 22 is located.

[0200] The fifth protrusion 35 is sized to match the thirteenth drive groove 24.

[0201] As the air guide plate 1002 continues to open from the second position, the fifth protrusion 35 slides into the thirteenth drive groove 24 and can slide relative to the thirteenth drive groove 24. It cooperates with the third protrusion 33 and the tenth drive groove 22 to jointly drive the second connecting rod 2 to move. The thirteenth drive groove 24 and the tenth drive groove 22 are both arc-shaped grooves, and the circles containing the two arc-shaped grooves are concentric circles. During the process of the air guide plate 1002 moving from the second position to the fourth position, the center of the concentric circle does not coincide with the rotation center of the rotating component 3, so that the movement trajectory of the second connecting rod 2 is arc-shaped.

[0202] The drive mechanism for the air conditioner deflector includes a connecting rod and a power source. The connecting rod is movably connected to the deflector 1002 and is equipped with a drive structure. The power source includes a drive unit, which cooperates with the drive structure to drive the connecting rod to move, thereby driving the deflector 1002 to open and close.

[0203] The drive structure includes a first sub-drive structure, and the drive part includes a first sub-drive part. During the movement of the air guide plate 1002, the first sub-drive structure moves relative to the first sub-drive part between a mating position where the two are engaged and a disengaged position where the engagement is released.

[0204] The link includes a first link 1 and / or a second link 2. When the link includes the first link 1 but does not include the second link 2, the drive structure includes a first drive structure, the first drive structure includes a first sub-drive structure, and the drive part includes a first drive part, which in turn includes a first sub-drive part. When the link includes the second link 2 but does not include the first link 1, the drive structure includes a second drive structure, the second drive structure includes a first sub-drive structure, and the drive part includes a second drive part, which in turn includes a first sub-drive part. When the link includes both the first link 1 and the second link 2, the drive structure includes both the first and second drive structures, the first and / or the second drive structure includes a first sub-drive structure, the drive part includes both the first and second drive parts, and the first and / or the second drive part includes a first sub-drive part.

[0205] The power source includes a rotating component 3, which includes a driving unit; or the power source may be in other forms, such as a driving unit including a gear, a driving structure including a rack, and the meshing of the gear and the rack driving the connecting rod to move.

[0206] In the disengaged position, the first sub-drive unit is disengaged from the first sub-drive structure, and the first sub-drive unit no longer drives the first sub-drive structure.

[0207] As the connecting rod moves, the first sub-drive structure moves accordingly. If the first sub-drive structure and the first sub-drive part are always in a mating state (at this time, they are in the mating position), then the size of the first sub-drive structure or the first sub-drive part needs to be large enough. Therefore, in this application, the first sub-drive structure and the first sub-drive part have a disengagement position, which can reduce the size of the first sub-drive structure or the first drive part and avoid the connecting rod or power source being too large.

[0208] Optionally, one of the first sub-drive structure and the first sub-drive part is a first protrusion, and the other is a first groove adapted to the first protrusion; in the mating position, the first protrusion is located in the first groove and can slide relative to the first groove to drive the linkage to move; in the disengaged position, the first protrusion disengages from the first groove.

[0209] The first protrusion can be the first protruding post 31, and the first slot is the first driving slot 11. During the process of the air guide plate 1002 moving from the first position to the second position, the first driving slot 11 first engages with the first protruding post 31. At this time, the first protruding post 31 is located in the first driving slot 11 and can slide relative to the first driving slot 11, which is the engaging position. Then it separates from the first protruding post 31, which is the disengaging position.

[0210] The first protrusion can also be the fifth protrusion 35, and the first slot is the fifth drive slot 23. In the initial stage when the air guide plate 1002 starts to move from the first position, the fifth protrusion 35 separates from the fifth drive slot 23. As the air guide plate 1002 continues to open, before the air guide plate 1002 reaches the third position, the fifth protrusion 35 enters the fifth drive slot 23 and can slide relative to the fifth drive slot 23, which is the mating position.

[0211] Optionally, the drive structure further includes a second sub-drive structure, and the drive unit further includes a second sub-drive unit. During the movement of the air guide plate 1002, the second sub-drive structure has a mating position that cooperates with the second sub-drive unit; wherein, when the first sub-drive structure is in the disengaged position, the second sub-drive structure is in the mating position.

[0212] When the first sub-drive structure is in the disengaged position, the second sub-drive structure cooperates with the second sub-drive unit, so that the connecting rod can continue to move under the cooperation of the second sub-drive structure and the second sub-drive unit.

[0213] When the link includes a first link 1 but excludes a second link 2, the first drive structure further includes a second sub-drive structure, and the first drive part further includes a second sub-drive part. When the link includes a second link 2 but excludes a first link 1, the second drive structure includes a second sub-drive structure, and the second drive part includes a second sub-drive part. When the link includes a first link 1 and a second link 2, the first drive structure including the first sub-drive structure and / or the second drive structure further includes the second sub-drive structure, and the first drive part including the first sub-drive part and / or the second drive part further includes the first sub-drive part.

[0214] Optionally, the second sub-drive structure moves relative to the second sub-drive unit between a mating position and a disengaged position.

[0215] The second sub-drive structure and the second sub-drive unit have a disengagement position, which can reduce the size of the second sub-drive structure or the second sub-drive unit and avoid the connecting rod or power source being too large.

[0216] Optionally, one of the second sub-drive structure and the second sub-drive part is a second protrusion, and the other is a second groove adapted to the second protrusion; in the mating position, the second protrusion is located in the second groove and can slide relative to the second groove to drive the linkage to move; in the disengaged position, the second protrusion disengages from the second groove.

[0217] When the first protrusion is the first protruding post 31 and the first slot is the first driving slot 11, the second protrusion is the second protruding post 32 and the second slot is the second driving slot 12. When the first protrusion is the fifth protruding post 35 and the first slot is the fifth driving slot 23, the second protrusion is the third protruding post 33 and the second slot is the third driving slot 21.

[0218] Optionally, the drive structure also includes a third sub-drive structure, and the drive unit also includes a third sub-drive unit. During the movement of the air guide plate 1002, the third sub-drive structure always cooperates with the third sub-drive unit.

[0219] When the link includes the first link 1 but excludes the second link 2, the first drive structure further includes a third sub-drive structure, and the first drive part further includes a third sub-drive part. When the link includes the second link 2 but excludes the first link 1, the second drive structure includes a third sub-drive structure, and the second drive part includes a third sub-drive part. When the link includes the first link 1 and the second link 2, the first drive structure including the first sub-drive structure and / or the second drive structure further includes a third sub-drive structure, and the first drive part including the first sub-drive part and / or the second drive part further includes a third sub-drive part.

[0220] The third sub-drive structure always cooperates with the third sub-drive unit to ensure that the third sub-drive unit always provides driving force to the third sub-drive structure, guaranteeing smooth movement of the connecting rod. Furthermore, when the second sub-drive structure and the second sub-drive unit are in the disengaged position, the continued cooperation of the third sub-drive structure with the third sub-drive unit ensures that the connecting rod's trajectory meets the requirements.

[0221] Optionally, one of the third sub-drive structure and the third sub-drive part is a third protrusion, and the other is a third groove adapted to the third protrusion; in the mating position, the third protrusion is located in the third groove and can slide relative to the third groove to drive the linkage to move.

[0222] When the first protrusion is the first protruding post 31 and the first slot is the first driving slot 11, the third protrusion is the fourth protruding post 34, and the third slot includes the fourth driving slot 13 and the ninth driving slot 14.

[0223] Optionally, the third sub-drive structure is provided with a clearance groove, and when the first sub-drive structure is in the disengaged position, the first sub-drive part passes through the clearance groove.

[0224] The fourth drive groove 13 is provided with a through notch 131, which is a clearance groove. After the first protrusion 31 comes out of the first drive groove 11 and the second protrusion 32 comes out of the second drive groove 12, the first protrusion 31 and the second protrusion 32 pass through the clearance groove one after the movement of the rotating part 3.

[0225] The drive mechanism for the air conditioner deflector includes a connecting rod, a rotating component 3, a power groove structure, and a drive column structure. One of the power groove structure and the drive column structure is located in the connecting rod, and the other of the power groove structure and the drive column structure is located in the rotating component 3. The connecting rod is movably connected to the deflector 1002, and the connecting rod includes the aforementioned first connecting rod 1 and / or second connecting rod 2.

[0226] The power groove structure includes a first groove structure, and the drive column structure includes a first protrusion structure. And / or, the power groove structure includes a second groove structure, and the drive column structure includes a second protrusion structure.

[0227] The power channel structure includes a first power channel and a second power channel. The drive column structure cooperates with both the first and second power channels to drive the connecting rod to move, thereby driving the air guide plate 1002 to move.

[0228] The drive column structure includes a first drive column and a second drive column.

[0229] One of the first drive column and the first power slot is located on the connecting rod, and the other of the first drive column and the first power slot is located on the rotating member 3; the second drive column is located on the connecting rod or rotating member 3 where the first drive column is located; the second power slot is located on the connecting rod or rotating member 3 where the first power slot is located. That is, both the first drive column and the second drive column are located on the first connecting rod 1, and both the first power slot and the second power slot are located on the rotating member 3; or, both the first drive column and the second drive column are located on the rotating member 3, and both the first power slot and the second power slot are located on the first connecting rod 1; or, both the first drive column and the second drive column are located on the second connecting rod 2, and both the first power slot and the second power slot are located on the rotating member 3; or, both the first drive column and the second drive column are located on the rotating member 3, and both the first power slot and the second power slot are located on the second connecting rod 2.

[0230] When the rotating part 3 rotates, the first drive column engages with the first power slot, and the second drive column engages with the second power slot, driving the connecting rod to move, thereby driving the air guide plate 1002 to move.

[0231] When the rotating component 3 rotates, the first drive column is located in the first power groove and slides relative to the first power groove, and the second drive column is located in the second power groove and slides relative to the second power groove, so as to drive the connecting rod to move.

[0232] The extension line of the first power slot intersects with the extension line of the second power slot, so that the first power slot and the second power slot are staggered, thereby reducing the space occupied by the first power slot and the second power slot.

[0233] The first power slot and the second power slot can be the first drive slot 11 and the fourth drive slot 13, respectively. The corresponding first drive post is the first protrusion 31 and the second drive post is the fourth protrusion 34.

[0234] The drive mechanism for the air conditioning deflector also includes a third drive column and a third power slot. The third drive column is located on the first connecting rod 1, the second connecting rod 2, or the rotating component 3 where the first drive column is located; the third power slot is located on the first connecting rod 1, the second connecting rod 2, or the rotating component 3 where the first power slot is located. That is, both the third drive column and the first drive column are located on the first connecting rod 1, the second connecting rod 2, or the rotating component 3, and both the third power slot and the first power slot are located on the first connecting rod 1, the second connecting rod 2, or the rotating component 3.

[0235] The third power slot is positioned opposite the first power slot, and the extension line of the third power slot intersects the extension line of the second power slot.

[0236] The third power slot can be the second drive slot 12, and correspondingly, the third drive column is the third protrusion 33.

[0237] The first power slot can also be the third drive slot 21, and the first drive post can be the third protrusion 33. In this case, the second power slot is the fifth drive slot 23, and the second drive post is the fifth protrusion 35. Alternatively, the first power slot can also be the tenth drive slot 22, and the first drive post can be the third protrusion 33. In this case, the second power slot is the fifth drive slot 23, and the second drive post is the fifth protrusion 35.

[0238] The first power groove and the second power groove intersect, but it is not necessary for the extension lines of the first power groove and the second power groove to intersect. This can reduce the size of the first connecting rod 1, the second connecting rod 2, or the rotating part 3 where the first power groove and the second power groove are located.

[0239] The drive column structure includes a fifth drive column. During the rotation of the rotating component 3, the fifth drive column successively engages with the first power slot and the second power slot. The first power slot is non-circular, while the second power slot is circular. Furthermore, the center of the circular arc of the guide plate 1002 during its movement from the second position to the fourth position is not the center of rotation of the rotating component 3. In this case, the first power slot can be the third drive slot 21, the fifth drive column can be the third protrusion 33, and the second power slot can be the tenth drive slot 22. Alternatively, the first power slot can be the fifth drive slot 23, the fifth drive column can be the fifth protrusion 35, and the second power slot can be the thirteenth drive slot 24.

[0240] The device for driving the air conditioner deflector 1002 includes a first protruding post and a reversing groove. One of the first protruding post and the reversing groove is located on the second connecting rod 2, and the other is located on the rotating member 3. The two ends of the reversing groove along its length are a first end 211 and a second end 212, respectively. During the opening of the deflector 1002, the first protruding post is located in the reversing groove and slides relative to the reversing groove first along a first direction, and then slides relative to the reversing groove along a second direction. The first direction is from the first end 211 to the second end 212, and the second direction is from the second end 212 to the first end 211.

[0241] Optionally, the reversing groove is a straight groove, and there is a non-zero angle between the reversing groove and the length direction of the second connecting rod 2. The reversing groove can be a third drive groove 21, and the first protruding post can be a third protruding post 33.

[0242] Optionally, the reversing groove also includes an intermediate section 215, which is located between the first end 211 and the second end 212. When the air guide plate 1002 is in the closed position (i.e., the first position), the first protruding post is located in the intermediate section 215. Thus, as the air guide plate 1002 opens, the first protruding post slides relative to the reversing groove first along the first direction, slides to the first end 211, and then slides along the second direction.

[0243] The power source for the air conditioning deflector 1002 also includes a second protruding post and a first transition groove. One of the second protruding post and the first transition groove is located on the second connecting rod 2, and the other is located on the rotating member 3. During the opening of the deflector 1002, when the first protruding post moves a preset displacement relative to the reversing groove along the first direction, the second protruding post switches from a non-fitting position outside the first transition groove to a fitting position that slides into the first transition groove, so that the first protruding post engages with the reversing groove and the second protruding post engages with the first transition groove, so that they jointly drive the deflector 1002 to move.

[0244] The movement of the first protruding post relative to the reversing groove enables the switching between the non-fitting and fitting positions of the second protruding post, allowing for flexible adjustment of its position. In the fitting position, the second protruding post slides into the first transition groove and slides relative to it. At this time, the first protruding post is located within the reversing groove and moves relative to it along the second direction, jointly driving the movement of the second connecting rod 2.

[0245] The first adapter slot can be the fifth drive slot 23, and the second protruding post is the fifth protruding post 35.

[0246] The rotating component 3 is drivenly connected to the driven component, which includes a first driven component. The first driven component can be either a first connecting rod 1 or a second connecting rod 2. The following explanation uses the first connecting rod 1 as an example. Figure 11 As shown, the first driven member includes a first driven part, the surface of the rotating member 3 includes a first surface 306, and a plurality of first active parts are disposed on the first surface 306. The plurality of first active parts are configured to cooperate with the first driven part to drive the first driven member to move. At least two of the plurality of first active parts are arranged sequentially along the circumference of the rotating member 3 to make the layout of the plurality of first active parts more reasonable and reduce the size of the rotating member 3. For example, the plurality of first active parts include a first protrusion 31 and a second protrusion 32, which are arranged sequentially along the circumference of the rotating member 3.

[0247] Optionally, at least two of the plurality of first active parts are not equidistant from the rotation center of the rotating member 3, so as to make the layout of the plurality of first active parts more reasonable and reduce the size of the rotating member 3. For example, the plurality of first active parts include a fourth protrusion 34 and a first protrusion 31, wherein the distance between the fourth protrusion 34 and the rotation center of the rotating member 3 is less than the distance between the first protrusion 31 and the rotation center of the rotating member 3.

[0248] At least two of the multiple first active parts have unequal heights, causing the first active parts to be staggered in the thickness direction of the rotating member 3. One of the first active part and the first driven part is a first groove-shaped structure, and the other is a first column-shaped structure. The first column-shaped structure is located within the mating first groove-shaped structure and can move relative to the first groove-shaped structure. When the first active part is a first column-shaped structure, that is, including at least one of the first protrusion 31, the second protrusion 32, the fourth protrusion 34, and the tenth protrusion 36, the height of the first active part is the height of the protrusion protruding from the first surface 306; when the first active part is a first groove-shaped structure, that is, including at least one of the first drive groove 11, the second drive groove 12, the fourth drive groove 13, the ninth drive groove 14, and the eleventh drive groove 16, the height of the first active part is the depth of the groove recess.

[0249] At least two of the plurality of first columnar structures mate with the same first groove structure. The at least two of the plurality of first columnar structures have the same height and are equidistant from the rotation center of the rotating component. For example, the at least two first columnar structures include a fourth protrusion and a tenth protrusion, both of which mate with the ninth drive groove and are equidistant from the rotation center of the rotating component.

[0250] Optionally, the rotating member 3 includes a rotating body 38 and a cantilever 39. The rotation center of the rotating member 3 is located on the rotating body 38; the cantilever 39 is located on the outside of the rotating body 38; a portion of the first active part is located on the rotating body 38, and a portion of the first active part is located on the cantilever 39.

[0251] The rotating body 38 is circular, and the cantilever 39 is located on the outer side of the circle and lies in the same plane as the circle. It can be understood that the outer edge of the circle protrudes outward to form the cantilever 39. By setting the cantilever 39, and having part of the first active part located on the cantilever 39, the distance requirement between the first active part and the rotation center of the rotating component 3 can be met, and the volume of the rotating component 3 can be reduced, thereby reducing the cost of the rotating component 3.

[0252] Optionally, there may be multiple cantilever arms 39, and each cantilever arm 39 may be provided with at least one first active part. For example... Figure 11 As shown, there are two cantilever arms 39, and each of the two cantilever arms 39 is provided with a first active part, which can not only meet the distance requirements between the first active parts provided on the cantilever arms 39, but also reduce the amount of material used for the rotating part 3.

[0253] Optionally, there may be multiple cantilever arms 39, and the lengths of the multiple cantilever arms 39 may be equal or unequal.

[0254] By setting whether the lengths of the cantilever 39 are equal, the distance between the first active part mounted on the cantilever 39 and the rotation center of the rotating member 3 can be changed. For example... Figure 11 As shown, the two cantilever arms 39 are of equal length.

[0255] Optionally, the driven member further includes a second driven member. When the first driven member is the first link 1, the second driven member is the second link 2. When the first driven member is the second link 2, the second driven member is the first link 1.

[0256] The second driven member includes multiple second driven parts, and the surface of the rotating member 3 also includes a second surface 307, which is disposed opposite to the first surface 306. The second surface 307 is provided with multiple second active parts, which are configured to cooperate with the second driven parts to drive the second driven member to move. At least two of the multiple second active parts are arranged sequentially along the circumference of the rotating member 3 to make the layout of the multiple second active parts more reasonable and reduce the size of the rotating member 3. For example, the multiple second active parts include a third protrusion 33 and a fifth protrusion 35, which are arranged sequentially along the circumference of the rotating member 3.

[0257] Optionally, at least one of the plurality of first active units corresponds to a second active unit, such as... Figure 12 The number of second active parts shown is two, which correspond to the two first active parts respectively. The correspondence means that they are equidistant from the rotation center of the rotating member 3 and are located on the same radial direction of the rotating member 3. The second protrusion 32 in the first active part corresponds to the third protrusion 33 in the second active part. When the air guide plate 1002 is in the closed position, the second protrusion 32 is located in the second drive groove 12, and the third protrusion 33 is located in the third drive groove 21. When the air guide plate 1002 starts to move from the closed position, the second protrusion 32 slides relative to the second drive groove 12 to provide driving force for the first connecting rod 1. The third protrusion 33 is located in the third drive groove 21 and slides relative to the third drive groove 21 to provide driving force for the second connecting rod 2. This allows the first connecting rod 1 and the second connecting rod 2 to move synchronously with a small difference in stroke when the air guide plate 1002 starts to move from the closed position. The air guide plate 1002 extends first to avoid a large difference in the formation of the first connecting rod 1 and the second connecting rod 2 at the beginning, which would cause the air guide plate 1002 to rotate too early and interfere with the housing 1001.

[0258] The heights of the first driving part and its corresponding second driving part are equal, so that when the corresponding first driving part and second driving part drive the first driven member and the second driven member respectively, the forces they receive from the first driven member and the second driven member are approximately equal, so that the rotating member 3 can rotate smoothly.

[0259] Optionally, the driving mechanism for the air conditioner deflector includes a driven component, a rotating component 3, a first sliding column, and a first sliding groove. The driven component is configured to be movably connected to the deflector 1002, and includes a first connecting rod 1 and a second connecting rod 2; the rotating component 3 is rotated under control; the first sliding column and the first sliding groove, one of which is located in the driven component and the other in the rotating component 3; the first sliding column is located in the first sliding groove and can slide relative to the first sliding groove, driving the driven component to move, thereby driving the deflector 1002 from a second position to a fourth position; wherein, the first sliding groove is arc-shaped, for example, circular arc-shaped. The forming process of the circular arc-shaped groove is simple, and the cooperation between the circular arc-shaped groove and the first sliding column can simplify the movement trajectory of the driven component. During the opening of the air guide plate 1002, the position of the driven component changes, while the rotation center position of the rotating component 3 remains unchanged. Therefore, the position of the first sliding groove relative to the rotation center of the rotating component 3 will change when the air guide plate 1002 is in different positions. When determining whether the center of the circle where the first sliding groove is located coincides with the rotation center of the rotating component 3, it is necessary to limit the position of the air guide plate 1002.

[0260] The first sliding groove can be the ninth driving groove 14, and correspondingly, the first sliding post is the fourth protrusion 34.

[0261] Optionally, during the movement of the air guide plate 1002 from the second position to the fourth position, the center of the circle where the first sliding groove is located is the rotation center of the rotating component 3. At this time, the first sliding groove is located on the first connecting rod 1.

[0262] Optionally, the driving mechanism for the air conditioner deflector further includes: a second sliding column and a second sliding groove, one of which is disposed on the driven member and the other on the rotating member 3; during the process of the deflector 1002 moving from the second position to the fourth position, the second sliding column is located in the second sliding groove and can slide relative to the second sliding groove to drive the driven member to move; wherein, the second sliding groove is an arc-shaped groove, and the center of the circle where the second sliding groove is located during the process of the deflector 1002 moving from the second position to the fourth position is the rotation center of the rotating member 3.

[0263] The second sliding groove can be the eleventh driving groove 16, and the second sliding post can be the second protruding post 32.

[0264] Optionally, when the air guide plate 1002 moves from the sixth position to the fourth position, the second sliding column disengages from the second sliding groove to avoid the second sliding groove being too long. During the opening process, the air guide plate 1002 passes through the second position, the sixth position, the fifth position, and the fourth position in sequence; and / or the radius of the circle containing the first sliding groove is not equal to the radius of the circle containing the second sliding groove, for example, the radius of the circle containing the first sliding groove is smaller than the radius of the circle containing the second sliding groove; and / or during the process of the air guide plate 1002 moving from the second position to the fourth position, the first sliding groove and the second sliding groove are located on opposite sides of the rotation center of the rotating member 3, and the first sliding groove and the second sliding groove are arranged sequentially along the length direction of the driven member.

[0265] Optionally, during the movement of the air guide plate 1002 from the second position to the fourth position, the center of the circle where the first sliding groove is located deviates from the rotation center of the rotating component 3. At this time, the first sliding groove is located on the second connecting rod 2.

[0266] The first sliding groove is the thirteenth driving groove 24, and the first sliding post is the fifth protrusion 35.

[0267] The driving mechanism for the air conditioner deflector also includes a fourth sliding column and a fourth sliding groove. The fourth sliding column is located in the driven or rotating part 3 where the first sliding column is located; the fourth sliding groove is located in the driven or rotating part 3 where the first sliding groove is located. During the process of the deflector 1002 moving from the second position to the fourth position, the fourth sliding column is located in the fourth sliding groove and can slide relative to the fourth sliding groove to drive the driven part to move; wherein, the first sliding groove and the fourth sliding groove are both arc-shaped and the circles they are in are concentric circles.

[0268] At this time, the fourth sliding groove is the tenth driving groove 22, and the fourth sliding post is the third protruding post 33.

[0269] During the opening process of the air guide plate 1002, it sequentially passes through positions one, three, two, five, and four. Position one is the closed position, position three is the cooling horizontal blowing position, position two is the maximum airflow position, position five is the wraparound airflow position, and position four is the heating downward blowing position, or vice versa. In the attached diagram, position three is the cooling horizontal blowing position, and position four is the heating downward blowing position. Figure 2 As shown, when the air guide plate 1002 starts moving from the closed position, the first protrusion 31 is located in the first drive groove 11, the second protrusion 32 is located in the second drive groove 12, and the fourth protrusion 34 is located in the fourth drive groove 13, so as to jointly drive the first connecting rod 1 to move. At this time, as shown... Figure 3 As shown, the third protrusion 33 is located within the third drive groove 21 and slides along the first direction, as... Figure 13 and 14As shown, before reaching the third position, the first protrusion 31 disengages from the first drive groove 11, the second protrusion 32 remains in the second drive groove 12, the fourth protrusion 34 remains in the fourth drive groove 13, and the fifth protrusion 35 slides into the fifth drive groove 23, until the air guide plate 1002 moves to the third position, as shown. Figure 33 As shown, in the third position, the third protrusion 33 reaches the first end 211. Then, the air guide plate 1002 continues to open, and the third protrusion 33 moves along the second direction. When it reaches the second position, as... Figure 15 and 16 As shown, the second protrusion 32 slides into the eleventh drive groove 16, the fourth protrusion 34 disengages from the fourth drive groove 13 and slides into the ninth drive groove 14, the third protrusion 33 slides into the tenth drive groove 22, and the fifth protrusion 35 slides into the thirteenth drive groove 24. Figures 17 to 20 As shown, as the air guide plate 1002 continues to open, the first protrusion 31 and the second protrusion 32 successively pass through the through-hole 131.

[0270] Example 2:

[0271] The difference from Embodiment 1 is that, as Figures 23 to 40 As shown, the first drive groove 11 is a straight groove and the second drive groove 12 is a curved groove. The first drive groove 11 and the second drive groove 12 intersect, which makes full use of the space of the first connecting rod 1 or rotating member 3 where the first drive groove 11 and the second drive groove 12 are located, and avoids the first connecting rod 1 or rotating member 3 from being too large.

[0272] Optionally, such as Figure 30 As shown, the first groove structure also includes a ninth drive groove 14. During the process of the air guide plate 1002 opening from the second position to the fourth position, the fourth protrusion 34 is disposed in the ninth drive groove 14 and can slide relative to the ninth drive groove 14. The ninth drive groove 14 is an arc-shaped groove, and the center of the circle where the arc-shaped groove is located is the rotation center of the rotating component 3 during the process of the air guide plate 1002 moving from the second position to the fourth position.

[0273] The fourth protrusion 34 is adapted to the size of the ninth drive groove 14.

[0274] like Figure 34 As shown, when the air guide plate 1002 continues to open from the second position, the fourth protrusion 34 slides from the fourth drive groove 13 into the ninth drive groove 14 and slides relative to the ninth drive groove 14. The first protrusion 31 comes out from the first drive groove 11, and the second protrusion 32 also comes out from the second drive groove 12. The ninth drive groove 14 is an arc-shaped groove, and the center of the ninth drive groove 14 is the rotation center of the rotating member 3. Thus, when the air guide plate 1002 continues to open from the second position, the rotating member 3 rotates, and the fourth protrusion 34 rotates relative to the ninth drive groove 14 around the rotation center of the rotating member 3, while the first connecting rod 1 remains stationary.

[0275] Optionally, when the first groove structure is provided on the first connecting rod 1, the first driving groove 11 and the ninth driving groove 14 are arranged sequentially along the length direction of the second connecting rod 2 and / or the second driving groove 12 and the ninth driving groove 14 are arranged sequentially along the length direction of the second connecting rod 2.

[0276] This configuration allows the first protrusion 31 to engage with the first drive groove 11 and the second protrusion 32 to engage with the second drive groove 12 during the initial opening phase of the air guide plate 1002. As the air guide plate 1002 opens, the second connecting rod 2 extends outward from the air outlet, at which point the first protrusion 31 disengages from the first drive groove 11, the second protrusion 32 disengages from the second drive groove 12, and the fourth protrusion 34 enters and engages with the ninth drive groove 14, thus satisfying the requirements for the movement trajectory of the second connecting rod 2. Furthermore, this configuration reduces the width dimension of the second connecting rod 2.

[0277] Optionally, such as Figure 16 As shown, the first groove structure also includes an eleventh drive groove 16. During the process of the air guide plate 1002 opening from the second position to the fourth position, the second protrusion 32 slides into the eleventh drive groove 16 and can slide relative to the eleventh drive groove 16. The eleventh drive groove 16 is an arc-shaped groove with its center located at the rotation center of the rotating member 3 and intersects with the second drive groove 12.

[0278] The second protrusion 32 is adapted to the size of the eleventh drive groove 16.

[0279] During the process of the air guide plate 1002 opening from the second position to the fourth position, the second protrusion 32 slides from the second drive groove 12 into the eleventh drive groove 16, at least partially forming a position within the eleventh drive groove 16. The fourth protrusion 34 is always located within the ninth drive groove 14. Thus, the cooperation between the second protrusion 32 and the second drive groove 12, the cooperation between the fourth protrusion 34 and the ninth drive groove 14, and the fact that the eleventh drive groove 16 and the ninth drive groove 14 have the same center, can enhance the stability of the movement of the second link 2 while realizing the arc-shaped movement trajectory of the second link 2.

[0280] The eleventh drive groove 16 intersects with the second drive groove 12 to enhance the integration of the first connecting rod 1 or rotating member 3 with the eleventh drive groove 16 and the second drive groove 12, and reduce the size of the first connecting rod 1 or rotating member 3.

[0281] Optionally, such as Figure 29As shown, the second groove structure includes a third driving groove 21 and a fifth driving groove 23; the second protrusion structure includes a third protrusion 33 and a fifth protrusion 35; during the process of the air guide plate 1002 opening from the first position to the second position, the third protrusion 33 is disposed in the third driving groove 21 and can slide relative to the third driving groove 21, and the fifth protrusion 35 is disposed in the fifth driving groove 23 and can slide relative to the fifth driving groove 23; wherein, the third driving groove 21 and the fifth driving groove 23 are both straight grooves.

[0282] The third protrusion 33 is sized to match the third drive groove 21. The fifth protrusion 35 is sized to match the fifth drive groove 23.

[0283] The engagement of the third protrusion 33 with the third drive groove 21, and the engagement of the fifth protrusion 35 with the fifth drive groove 23, together drive the second connecting rod 2 to move. With the cooperation of the first connecting rod 1, this causes the air guide plate 1002 to move from the first position to the second position. During the process of the air guide plate 1002 opening from the first position to the second position, the movement trajectory of the second connecting rod 2 is a straight line. Therefore, setting the third drive groove 21 and the fifth drive groove 23 as straight grooves can both satisfy the movement trajectory of the second connecting rod 2 and simplify the structure of the third drive groove 21 and the fifth drive groove 23.

[0284] Optionally, when both the third drive groove 21 and the fifth drive groove 23 are provided on the second link 2, neither the third drive groove 21 nor the fifth drive groove 23 is parallel to the length direction of the second link 2, so that when the third protrusion 33 cooperates with the third drive groove 21, it can apply a force to the third drive groove 21 to drive the second link 2 to move, and when the fifth protrusion 35 cooperates with the fifth drive groove 23, it can apply a force to the fifth drive groove 23 to drive the second link 2 to move.

[0285] The extension line of the third drive groove 21 intersects with the fifth drive groove 23, which satisfies the requirements for the motion trajectory of the second link 2 on the one hand, and reduces the volume occupied by the third drive groove 21 and the fifth drive groove 23 on the other hand.

[0286] Optionally, the second groove structure also includes a tenth drive groove 22, which is connected to the third drive groove 21. During the process of the air guide plate 1002 opening from the second position to the fourth position, the third protrusion 33 is located in the tenth drive groove 22 and can slide relative to the tenth drive groove 22. The tenth drive groove 22 forms an angle at the connection between the tenth drive groove 22 and the third drive groove 21, and the tenth drive groove 22 is an arc-shaped groove.

[0287] The third protrusion 33 is adapted to the size of the tenth drive groove 22.

[0288] When the air guide plate 1002 continues to open from the second position, the third protrusion 33 disengages from the third drive groove 21, slides into the tenth drive groove 22, and engages with the tenth drive groove 22. The tenth drive groove 22 is an arc-shaped groove so that the engagement of the third protrusion 33 with the tenth drive groove 22 can drive the second connecting rod 2 to perform an arc-shaped movement.

[0289] Optionally, the second groove structure also includes a thirteenth drive groove 24, which is connected to the fifth drive groove 23. During the process of the air guide plate 1002 opening from the second position to the fourth position, the fifth protrusion 35 is located in the thirteenth drive groove 24 and can slide relative to the thirteenth drive groove 24. The connection between the thirteenth drive groove 24 and the fifth drive groove 23 forms an angle, and the thirteenth drive groove 24 is an arc-shaped groove.

[0290] The fifth protrusion 35 is sized to match the thirteenth drive groove 24.

[0291] When the air guide plate 1002 continues to open from the second position, the fifth protrusion 35 disengages from the fifth drive groove 23 and slides into the thirteenth drive groove 24, engaging with it. The thirteenth drive groove 24 is an arc-shaped groove, so that the engagement between the fifth protrusion 35 and the thirteenth drive groove 24 can drive the second connecting rod 2 to perform an arc-shaped movement.

[0292] Optionally, the second protrusion structure further includes a fourteenth protrusion 37; the second groove structure further includes a fourteenth drive groove 26. During the process of the air guide plate 1002 opening from the second position to the fourth position, the fourteenth protrusion 37 is disposed in the fourteenth drive groove 26 and can slide relative to the fourteenth drive groove 26; wherein, the fourteenth drive groove 26 is arc-shaped.

[0293] The fourteenth protrusion 37 is sized to match the fourteenth drive groove 26.

[0294] When the air guide plate 1002 continues to open from the second position, the fourteenth protrusion 37 slides into the fourteenth drive groove 26 and engages with it. The fourteenth drive groove 26 is an arc-shaped groove so that the engagement between the fourteenth protrusion 37 and the fourteenth drive groove 26 can drive the second connecting rod 2 to perform an arc-shaped movement.

[0295] During the process of the air guide plate 1002 opening from the second position to the fourth position, the third protrusion 33 slides in the tenth drive groove 22 and relative to the tenth drive groove 22, the fifth protrusion 35 slides in the thirteenth drive groove 24 and relative to the thirteenth drive groove 24, and the fourteenth protrusion 37 slides in the fourteenth drive groove 26 and relative to the fourteenth drive groove 26, so as to jointly drive the second connecting rod 2 to make an arc-shaped movement.

[0296] During the process of the air guide plate 1002 moving from the second position to the fourth position, the centers of the tenth drive groove 22, the thirteenth drive groove 24 and the fourteenth drive groove 26 do not coincide with the rotation center of the rotating component 3.

[0297] Two of the tenth drive slot 22, the thirteenth drive slot 24 and the fourteenth drive slot 26 are located on concentric circles, and the extension line of the other one intersects the concentric circle. Under the premise of satisfying the motion trajectory of the second link 2, the space occupied by the tenth drive slot 22, the thirteenth drive slot 24 and the fourteenth drive slot 26 is reduced.

[0298] like Figure 29 As shown, the thirteenth drive slot 24 and the fourteenth drive slot 26 are concentric circles. The radius of the tenth drive slot 22 is smaller than the radius of the thirteenth drive slot 24 and smaller than the radius of the fourteenth drive slot 26. The tenth drive slot 22 is located between the thirteenth drive slot 24 and the third drive slot 21.

[0299] Optionally, the second groove structure also includes a connecting groove 25, which connects the thirteenth drive groove 24 and the fourteenth drive groove 26. The thirteenth drive groove 24 is provided with an insertion notch. During the process of the air guide plate 1002 opening from the first position to the second position, the fourteenth protrusion 37 slides into the connecting groove 25 through the insertion notch.

[0300] The fourteenth protrusion 37 is adapted to the dimensions of the connecting groove 25.

[0301] When the air guide plate 1002 starts moving from the first position, the fourteenth protrusion 37 does not slide into the connecting groove 25. The second connecting rod 2 is driven to move by the cooperation of the third protrusion 33 with the third driving groove 21 and the fifth protrusion 35 with the fifth driving groove 23. As the second connecting rod 2 moves and the rotating component 3 rotates, the fourteenth protrusion 37 slides into the connecting groove 25 from the insertion notch. At this time, the third protrusion 33 still cooperates with the third driving groove 21, and the fifth protrusion 35 still cooperates with the fifth driving groove 23. Combined with the movement of the fourteenth protrusion 37 relative to the connecting groove 25, this improves the stability of the linear motion of the second connecting rod 2. Furthermore, since the fourteenth protrusion 37 does not slide into the connecting groove 25 when the air guide plate 1002 starts moving from the first position, the size of the connecting groove 25 can be reduced, thereby reducing the size of the second connecting rod 2 or the rotating component 3 located in the connecting groove 25.

[0302] The tenth drive slot 22 is located between the third drive slot 21 and the connecting slot 25.

[0303] In one specific embodiment, before the air guide plate 1002 moves to the third position, the fourteenth protrusion 37 slides into the connecting groove 25.

[0304] Optionally, the connecting groove 25 is a curved groove to meet the requirements of the motion trajectory of the second link 2.

[0305] The connecting groove 25 intersects with the thirteenth driving groove 24, and the centers of the connecting groove 25 and the thirteenth driving groove 24 are located on the same side of the thirteenth driving groove 24. The centers of the fourteenth driving groove 26 and the thirteenth driving groove 24 are located on the same side of the thirteenth driving groove 24, so that the structure of the second connecting rod 2 or rotating member 3 with the second groove structure is more compact and the size of the second connecting rod 2 or rotating member 3 is reduced.

[0306] The drive mechanism for the air conditioner deflector includes a connecting rod and a power source. The connecting rod is movably connected to the deflector 1002 and is equipped with a drive structure.

[0312] The first protrusion can be a first protruding post 31, and the first slot can be a first driving slot 11.

[0313] The first protrusion can also be the third protrusion 33, and the first slot is the third drive slot 21. In the initial stage when the air guide plate 1002 starts to move from the first position, the third protrusion 33 separates from the third drive slot 21. As the air guide plate 1002 continues to open, before the air guide plate 1002 reaches the third position, the third protrusion 33 enters the third drive slot 21 and can slide relative to the third drive slot 21, which is the mating position.

[0314] Optionally, the drive structure further includes a second sub-drive structure, and the drive unit further includes a second sub-drive unit. During the movement of the air guide plate 1002, the second sub-drive structure has a mating position that cooperates with the second sub-drive unit; wherein, when the first sub-drive structure is in the disengaged position, the second sub-drive structure is in the mating position.

[0318] When the first protrusion is the first protruding post 31 and the first slot is the first driving slot 11, the second protrusion is the second protruding post 32, and the second slot includes the second driving slot 12 and the eleventh driving slot 16.

[0319] Optionally, the drive structure also includes a third sub-drive structure, and the drive unit also includes a third sub-drive unit. During the movement of the air guide plate 1002, the third sub-drive structure always cooperates with the third sub-drive unit.

[0320] When the link includes the first link 1 but excludes the second link 2, the first drive structure further includes a third sub-drive structure, and the first drive part further includes a third sub-drive part. When the link includes the second link 2 but excludes the first link 1, the second drive structure includes a third sub-drive structure, and the second drive part includes a third sub-drive part.

[0321] Optionally, one of the third sub-drive structure and the third sub-drive part is a third protrusion, and the other is a third groove adapted to the third protrusion; in the mating position, the third protrusion is located in the third groove and can slide relative to the third groove to drive the linkage to move.

[0322] When the first protrusion is the third protrusion 33 and the first slot is the third drive slot 21, the second protrusion is the fifth protrusion 35, and the second slot includes the fifth drive slot 23 and the thirteenth drive slot 24.

[0323] Optionally, the third sub-drive structure is provided with a clearance groove, and when the first sub-drive structure is in the disengaged position, the first sub-drive part passes through the clearance groove.

[0324] The thirteenth drive groove 24 is provided with an insertion notch, which is also a clearance groove. When the air guide plate 1002 starts to move from the first position, the third protrusion 33 enters the third drive groove 21 through the clearance notch 191 as the air guide plate 1002 moves.

[0325] The first power slot and the second power slot can be the second drive slot 12 and the eleventh drive slot 16, respectively, and the fifth drive column is the second protrusion 32.

[0326] The first power groove is a straight groove, and the second power groove is a curved groove. In this case, the first power groove can be a first drive groove 11, the second power groove can be a second drive groove 12, the first drive post can be a first protrusion 31, and the second drive post can be a second protrusion 32. Alternatively, the first power groove can be a third drive groove 21, the second power groove can be a fifth drive groove 23, the first drive post can be a third protrusion 33, and the second drive post can be a fifth protrusion 35.

[0327] The first power slot can be the third drive slot 21, the second power slot can be the tenth drive slot 22, and the fifth drive post can be the third protrusion 33; or, the first power slot can be the fifth drive slot 23, the second power slot can be the thirteenth drive slot 24, and the fifth drive post can be the fifth protrusion 35.

[0328] The reversing slot is the fifth drive slot 23, and the first protruding post is the fifth protruding post 35.

[0329] Optionally, during the opening process of the air guide plate 1002, the second protruding post at the mating position first slides relative to the first transition groove along the fourth direction, and then slides relative to the first transition groove along the third direction; wherein, the two ends of the length direction of the first transition groove are the third end 213 and the fourth end 214, the third direction is the direction from the third end 213 to the fourth end 214, and the fourth direction is the direction from the fourth end 214 to the third end 213.

[0330] During the opening process of the air guide plate 1002, the second protruding post slides relative to the first transition groove along the fourth and third directions, respectively. This allows the first transition groove to be used multiple times, thereby reducing its length. The first transition groove is the third drive groove 21, and the second protruding post is the third protruding post 33.

[0331] Optionally, when the air guide plate 1002 is in the third position, the first protruding post is located at the first end 211, and the second protruding post is located at the third end 213.

[0332] When the air guide plate 1002 continues to open from the third position, the first protruding post moves relative to the reversing groove toward the second end 212, i.e., along the second direction, and the second protruding post 32 moves relative to the first transition groove toward the fourth end 214, i.e., along the third direction. The angle between the second direction and the third direction is an acute angle, so that the driving force of the first protruding post and the second protruding post on the second connecting rod 2 has a small angle (an acute angle), which can reduce the driving force on the rotating part 3.

[0333] Optionally, the angle between the fourth direction and the first direction is an acute angle.

[0334] The first protruding post moves relative to the reversing groove along the first direction, and the second protruding post 32 moves relative to the first transition groove along the fourth direction. The angle between the fourth direction and the first direction is an acute angle, which can reduce the driving force on the rotating part 3.

[0335] The power source for the air conditioning guide plate 1002 also includes a second transition groove, which is connected to the first transition groove and located on one side of the first transition groove. When the air guide plate 1002 is opened to the second position, the second protruding post slides from the first transition groove into the second transition groove, thereby driving the second connecting rod 2 to perform different movements, thus changing the position of the air guide plate 1002.

[0336] The second adapter slot is the tenth drive slot 22, and the second protruding post is the third protruding post 33.

[0337] At least two of the plurality of first active parts are arranged sequentially along the circumference of the rotating member 3. For example, the plurality of first active parts include a first protrusion 31 and a second protrusion 32, which are arranged sequentially along the circumference of the rotating member 3.

[0338] Optionally, at least two of the plurality of first active parts are not equidistant from the rotation center of the rotating member 3. For example, the plurality of first active parts include a fourth protrusion 34 and a first protrusion 31, wherein the distance between the fourth protrusion 34 and the rotation center of the rotating member 3 is less than the distance between the first protrusion 31 and the rotation center of the rotating member 3.

[0339] At least two of the multiple first driving parts have unequal heights. Multiple first groove-shaped structures mate with the first columnar structures of different heights, and these multiple groove-shaped structures intersect. Multiple first driven parts mate with the first driving parts of different heights, and these multiple driven parts have different heights, so that the first driving part and the mating first driven part are adapted to each other. When the first driving part is a first columnar structure, the first driven part is a first groove-shaped structure, and the height of the first driven part refers to the depth of the groove recess; when the first driving part is a first groove-shaped structure, the first driven part is a first columnar structure, and the height of the first driven part refers to the height of the column. For example, multiple first active parts include a first protrusion 31 and a second protrusion 32. The height of the first protrusion 31 is greater than the height of the second protrusion 32. The first driven part that cooperates with the first protrusion is a first driving groove, and the first driven part that cooperates with the second protrusion is a second driving groove. The depth of the first driving groove 11 is greater than the depth of the second driving groove 12, so that the top of the first protrusion 31 can contact the bottom wall of the first driving groove 11, and the top of the second protrusion 32 can contact the bottom wall of the second driving groove 12. Since the first drive groove 11 and the second drive groove 12 intersect, and the height of the first protrusion 31 is greater than the height of the second protrusion 32, when the second protrusion 32 slides to the intersection of the first drive groove 11 and the second drive groove 12, there is a gap between the second protrusion 32 and the bottom wall of the first drive groove 11. The second protrusion 32 will not slide into the first drive groove 11, and the movement trajectory of the second protrusion 32 will not be affected by the direction of the first drive groove 11. It can also ensure that the force of the first protrusion 31 on the first drive groove 11 is greater than the force of the second protrusion 32 on the second drive groove 12. The force of the first protrusion 31 on the first drive groove 11 is the main driving force of the first connecting rod 1.

[0340] Optionally, there may be multiple cantilever arms 39, and the lengths of the multiple cantilever arms 39 may be equal or unequal. For example... Figure 31As shown, there are two cantilever arms 39, and the lengths of the two cantilever arms 39 are not equal, so as to satisfy that the first active part provided on the cantilever arm 39 is not equal to the rotation center of the rotating member 3.

[0341] Optionally, at least two of the plurality of second active parts are arranged sequentially along the circumference of the rotating member 3. For example, the plurality of second active parts include a third protrusion 33 and a fifth protrusion 35, which are arranged sequentially along the circumference of the rotating member 3.

[0342] Optionally, at least two of the plurality of second active parts are not equidistant from the rotation center of the rotating member 3. For example, the plurality of second active parts include a third protrusion 33 and a fifth protrusion 35, and the third protrusion 33 and the fifth protrusion 35 are not equidistant from the rotation center of the rotating member 3.

[0343] At least two of the multiple second driving parts have unequal heights. Multiple second driven parts cooperate with the second driving parts of different heights, and these multiple driven parts also have different heights, so that the second driving part and the cooperating second driven part are adapted to each other. When the second driving part is a second columnar structure, the second driven part is a second grooved structure, and the height of the second driven part refers to the depth of the groove recess; when the second driving part is a second grooved structure, the second driven part is a second columnar structure, and the height of the second driven part refers to the height of the column. For example, the multiple second driving parts include a third protruding post 33 and a fifth protruding post 35, the heights of the third protruding post 33 and the fifth protruding post 35 are unequal, and the height of the third protruding post 33 is less than the height of the fifth protruding post 35. The depth of the third driving groove 21 is less than the depth of the fifth driving groove 23. Thus, when the third protruding post 33 slides into the intersection of the third driving groove 21 and the fifth driving groove 23, the third protruding post 33 is not affected by the fifth driving groove 23 and will not exert any force on the fifth driving groove 23. For example, multiple second active parts include a fourteenth protrusion 37 and a fifth protrusion 35. The heights of the fourteenth protrusion 37 and the fifth protrusion 35 are not equal, and the height of the fourteenth protrusion 37 is less than the height of the fifth protrusion 35. The depth of the fourteenth drive groove 26 is equal to the depth of the connecting groove 25, and both are less than the depth of the fifth drive groove 23. In this way, when the third protrusion 33 slides into the intersection of the connecting groove 25 and the fifth drive groove 23, the third protrusion 33 is not affected by the fifth drive groove 23 and will not have any force with the fifth drive groove 23.

[0344] There are multiple second groove-shaped structures that cooperate with second columnar structures of different heights, and these multiple second groove-shaped structures intersect. At least two of the multiple second columnar structures cooperate with the same second groove-shaped structure.

[0345] At least two of the multiple second columnar structures have the same height and are equidistant from the rotation center of the rotating member.

[0346] Alternatively, the opening end of the same second groove-shaped structure is provided with a clearance groove, which is connected to the same second groove-shaped structure. At least two of the multiple second columnar structures have different heights, with one second columnar structure entering through the same second groove-shaped structure and another entering through the clearance groove. The distances between the at least two of the multiple second columnar structures and the rotation center of the rotating component are not equal.

[0347] Optionally, at least one of the plurality of first active units corresponds to a second active unit, such as... Figure 31 and 32 The number of second active parts shown is three, of which the two second active parts provided on the cantilever 39 correspond to the two first active parts provided on the cantilever 39 respectively. The first protrusion 31 in the first active part corresponds to the fifth protrusion 35 in the second active part. When the air guide plate 1002 is in the closed position, the first protrusion 31 is located in the first drive groove 11, and the fifth protrusion 35 is located in the fifth drive groove 23. When the air guide plate 1002 starts to move from the closed position, the first protrusion 31 slides relative to the first drive groove 11 to provide driving force for the first connecting rod 1. The fifth protrusion 35 is located in the fifth drive groove 23 and slides relative to the fifth drive groove 23 to provide driving force for the second connecting rod 2. This allows the first connecting rod 1 and the second connecting rod 2 to move synchronously with a small difference in stroke when the air guide plate 1002 starts to move from the closed position. The air guide plate 1002 extends first to avoid a large difference in the formation of the first connecting rod 1 and the second connecting rod 2 at the beginning, which would cause the air guide plate 1002 to rotate prematurely and interfere with the housing 1001.

[0348] The heights of the first driving unit and its corresponding second driving unit are equal.

[0349] Optionally, at least one of the multiple first active parts is staggered from the second active part, which means that at least one of the multiple first active parts does not correspond to the second active part. For example, the fourteenth protrusion 37 in the second active part does not correspond to any of the multiple first active parts, so that the reaction force from the driven part on the rotating part 3 is dispersed, and the force on the rotating part 3 is not too concentrated.

[0350] The drive mechanism for the air conditioner deflector also includes a tenth protrusion 36, which is located on the rotating member 3 or the first connecting rod 1 where the fourth protrusion 34 is located. The tenth protrusion 36 and the fourth protrusion 34 are equidistant from the rotation center of the rotating member 3, and the fourth protrusion 34 and the tenth protrusion 36 are located on the same circle with the rotation center of the rotating member 3 as the center. The tenth protrusion 36 is adapted to the ninth drive groove 14. When the deflector 1002 moves from the second position to the fourth position, the fourth protrusion 34 and the tenth protrusion 36 slide into the ninth drive groove 14 one after the other and can slide relative to the ninth drive groove 14 to improve the stability of the first connecting rod 1.

[0351] Optionally, the driving mechanism for the air conditioner deflector includes a driven component, a rotating component 3, a first sliding column, and a first sliding groove. The driven component is configured to be movably connected to the deflector 1002, and includes a first connecting rod 1 and a second connecting rod 2; the rotating component 3 is rotated under control; the first sliding column and the first sliding groove, one of which is located in the driven component and the other in the rotating component 3; the first sliding column is located in the first sliding groove and can slide relative to the first sliding groove, driving the driven component to move, thereby driving the deflector 1002 from a second position to a fourth position; wherein, the first sliding groove is arc-shaped.

[0355] The second sliding groove can be the eleventh driving groove 16, and the second sliding post can be the second protruding post 32.

[0356] Optionally, when the air guide plate 1002 moves from the sixth position to the fourth position, the second sliding column disengages from the second sliding groove to avoid the second sliding groove being too long. During the opening process, the air guide plate 1002 passes through the second position, the sixth position, the fifth position, and the fourth position in sequence; and / or the radius of the circle containing the first sliding groove is not equal to the radius of the circle containing the second sliding groove, for example, the radius of the circle containing the first sliding groove is smaller than the radius of the circle containing the second sliding groove; and / or during the process of the air guide plate 1002 moving from the second position to the fourth position, the first sliding groove and the second sliding groove are located on opposite sides of the rotation center of the rotating member 3, and the first sliding groove and the second sliding groove are arranged sequentially along the length direction of the driven member.

[0357] Optionally, during the movement of the air guide plate 1002 from the second position to the fourth position, the center of the circle where the first sliding groove is located deviates from the rotation center of the rotating component 3. At this time, the first sliding groove is located on the second connecting rod 2.

[0358] The driving mechanism for the air conditioner deflector also includes a fourth sliding column and a fourth sliding groove. The fourth sliding column is located in the driven or rotating part 3 where the first sliding column is located; the fourth sliding groove is located in the driven or rotating part 3 where the first sliding groove is located. During the process of the deflector 1002 moving from the second position to the fourth position, the fourth sliding column is located in the fourth sliding groove and can slide relative to the fourth sliding groove to drive the driven part to move; wherein, the first sliding groove and the fourth sliding groove are both arc-shaped and the circles they are in are concentric circles.

[0362] Optionally, during the movement of the air guide plate 1002 from the second position to the fourth position, the center of the circle containing the fifth sliding groove deviates from the rotation center of the rotating member 3; and / or the radius of the fifth sliding groove is different from the radius of the first sliding groove; and / or the radius of the fifth sliding groove is different from the radius of the fourth sliding groove. For example, the radii of the fifth sliding groove, the fourth sliding groove, and the first sliding groove increase sequentially.

[0363] The first groove structure also includes a twelfth drive groove 17, which is connected to the first drive groove 11. When the air guide plate 1002 continues to open from the second position, the first protrusion 31 slides into the twelfth drive groove 17 and can slide relative to the twelfth drive groove 17; wherein, during the process of the air guide plate 1002 moving from the second position to the fourth position, the twelfth drive groove 17 is an arc-shaped groove with its center located at the rotation center of the rotating member 3 and intersects with the second drive groove 12.

[0364] The first and second power slots intersect. The first and second power slots have different depths. The drive column structure includes a third drive column and a fourth drive column, both mounted on the connecting rod or rotating member 3. When the rotating member 3 rotates, the third drive column engages with the first power slot, and the fourth drive column engages with the second power slot, driving the connecting rod to move, thereby moving the air guide plate 1002. The third and fourth drive columns have different heights. The depth of the first power slot is greater than the depth of the second power slot, and the height of the third drive column is greater than the height of the fourth drive column, so that the third drive column is adapted to the first power slot, and the fourth drive column is adapted to the second power slot. At this time, the first power slot is the twelfth drive slot 17, the second power slot is the second drive slot 12, the third drive column is the first protrusion 31, and the fourth drive column is the second protrusion 32. The depth of the twelfth drive slot 17 is the same as the depth of the first drive slot 11, and the bottom wall of both the twelfth drive slot 17 and the bottom wall of the first drive slot 11 can abut against the first protrusion 31. The second drive groove 12 has the same depth as the eleventh drive groove 16, and the bottom wall of both the second drive groove 12 and the eleventh drive groove 16 can abut against the second protrusion 32.

[0365] The driving mechanism for the air conditioner deflector also includes a third sliding column and a third sliding groove. One of the third sliding column and the third sliding groove is located on the driven member, and the other is located on the rotating member 3. During the process of the deflector 1002 moving from the second position to the fourth position, the third sliding column travels at least part of its stroke within the third sliding groove and slides relative to the third sliding groove. The third sliding groove is an arc-shaped groove, and the center of the circle where the third sliding groove is located during the process of the deflector 1002 moving from the second position to the fourth position is the rotation center of the rotating member 3.

[0366] The third sliding groove can be the twelfth driving groove 17, and the third sliding post can be the first protruding post 31.

[0367] Optionally, the radius of the circle containing the third sliding groove is not equal to the radius of the circle containing the second sliding groove, for example, the radius of the third sliding groove is greater than the radius of the second sliding groove; and / or during the process of the air guide plate 1002 moving from the second position to the fourth position, the third sliding groove and the second sliding groove are located on the same side of the rotation center of the rotating member 3.

[0368] When the air guide plate 1002 starts moving from the closed position, as Figure 25 As shown, the first protrusion 31 is located in the first drive groove 11, and the second protrusion 32 is located in the second drive groove 12, so as to jointly drive the first connecting rod 1 to move. Figure 26 As shown, the fifth protrusion 35 is located within the fifth drive groove 23 and slides along the first direction. Before reaching the third position, the third protrusion 33 slides into the third drive groove 21 along the fourth direction, as shown. Figure 34 As shown, in the third position, the fifth protrusion 35 is located at the first end 211, and the third protrusion 33 is located at the third end 213. Subsequently, the air guide plate 1002 continues to open, the fifth protrusion 35 slides along the second direction, the third protrusion 33 slides along the third direction, and the fourteenth protrusion 37 slides into the connecting groove 25. (As shown...) Figure 35 and Figure 36 As shown, upon reaching the second position, the first protrusion 31 disengages from the first drive groove 11 and slides into the twelfth drive groove 17; the second protrusion 32 disengages from the second drive groove 12 and slides into the eleventh drive groove 16; the fourth protrusion 34 and the tenth protrusion 36 slide into the ninth drive groove 14; the fifth protrusion 35 slides into the thirteenth drive groove 24; the third protrusion 33 slides into the tenth drive groove 22; and the fourteenth protrusion 37 slides into the fourteenth drive groove 26. Subsequently, the air guide plate 1002 continues to open to the fourth position, as shown... Figures 37 to 40 As shown.

[0369] Example 3:

[0370] The difference from Example 2 is that, as Figure 41 As shown, the end of the eleventh drive slot on the first connecting rod coincides with the twelfth drive slot. During the opening of the air guide plate, the second protrusion moves sequentially in the second drive slot, the eleventh drive slot, and the twelfth drive slot, and finally disengages from the twelfth drive slot.

[0371] like Figure 44 In the middle, the distance between the fourth protrusion 34 and the tenth protrusion 36 is relatively... Figure 32 The distance between the fourth protrusion 34 and the tenth protrusion 36 is increased. As the rotating component rotates, the fourth protrusion enters the ninth drive groove 14 first, and then the rotating component needs to rotate a larger angle before the tenth protrusion enters the ninth drive groove 14, making it smoother for the tenth protrusion to enter the ninth drive groove.

[0372] The opening end of the ninth drive slot has a clearance groove 141 on its wall, which is connected to the ninth drive slot. During the opening of the air guide plate, the fourth and ninth protrusions enter the ninth drive slot through the opening end. The depth of the clearance groove is different from the depth of the ninth drive slot, and the heights of the fourth and tenth protrusions are different. The height of the fourth protrusion is the same as the depth of the ninth drive slot, and the height of the tenth protrusion is the same as the depth of the clearance groove. Figure 41 , Figure 46 In this design, the height of the fourth protrusion is greater than that of the tenth protrusion, and the depth of the ninth drive groove is greater than the depth of the clearance groove. During the opening of the air guide plate, the fourth protrusion enters the ninth drive groove through its open end, and then through the clearance groove. The clearance groove enlarges the opening of the ninth drive groove, allowing the tenth protrusion to enter smoothly and preventing collision with it.

[0373] The ninth drive groove 14 intersects with the second drive groove 12, so that the second protrusion slides into the intersection of the second drive groove and the ninth drive groove via the second drive groove 12. Figure 41 At point H, the second protrusion can slide through the ninth drive groove and then into the second drive groove. Since the depth of the ninth drive groove 14 is greater than the depth of the second drive groove 12, the second protrusion and the ninth drive groove are not properly matched. Therefore, when the second protrusion passes through the ninth drive groove, there is no force or very little force between the second protrusion and the ninth drive groove, which does not affect the movement trajectory of the first connecting rod. The movement trajectory of the second protrusion during the opening of the air guide plate is as follows: Figure 41 As indicated by the middle arrow.

[0374] At least two of the multiple first columnar structures cooperate with the same first groove structure, and the distances between the at least two first columnar structures and the rotation center of the rotating component are not equal. For example, the at least two first columnar structures are a fourth protrusion and a tenth protrusion, the same first groove structure is a ninth driving groove, the opening end of the ninth driving groove is provided with a clearance groove, and the distances between the fourth protrusion and the ninth protrusion and the rotation center of the rotating component are not equal.

[0375] Example 4:

[0376] Based on Example 1, Example 2, or Example 3, such as Figure 42 As shown, the connecting part of the first link 1 is rotatably connected to the air guide plate 1002 via a first rotating shaft; the second link 2 is rotatably connected to the air guide plate 1002 via a second rotating shaft; the rotating component 3 is driven to connect to both the first link 1 and the second link 2, thereby driving the air guide plate 1002 to open and close; wherein, during the process of the air guide plate 1002 opening from the first position to the second position, the movement of the rotating connection point of the second link 2 with the air guide plate 1002 includes linear motion (such as... Figure 28 (The direction of N in the middle).

[0377] The component is rotatably connected to the air guide plate 1002. The rotatable connection point between the component and the air guide plate 1002 is defined as follows: The component has a first shaft hole, and a first rotating shaft is fixedly installed in the air guide plate 1002, located within the first shaft hole and capable of rotating relative to the first shaft hole, so that the air guide plate 1002 is rotatably connected to the component. In this case, the rotatable connection point between the component and the air guide plate 1002 is the first shaft hole. Alternatively, the air guide plate 1002 has a first shaft hole, and a first rotating shaft is fixedly installed in the component, located within the first shaft hole and capable of rotating relative to the first shaft hole, so that the air guide plate 1002 is rotatably connected to the component. In this case, the rotatable connection point between the component and the air guide plate 1002 is the first rotating shaft. Or, the component has a first shaft hole, and the air guide plate 1002 has a second shaft hole. The first rotating shaft passes through the first shaft hole and the second shaft hole, so that the air guide plate 1002 is rotatably connected to the component. In this case, the rotatable connection point between the component and the air guide plate 1002 is the first shaft hole.

[0378] During the process of the air guide plate 1002 opening from the first position to the second position, the motion of the Y-shaped connection point between the second link 2 and the air guide plate 1002 includes linear motion, such as... Figure 42 and Figure 43 As shown at point E. Under the condition that the rotating part 3 rotates by the same angle, the displacement of the second connecting rod 2 is greater, thus the air guide plate 1002 moves faster and responds to user commands faster.

[0379] During the process of opening from the first position to the second position, the air guide plate 1002 passes through the third position. The air outlet direction of the indoor unit 100 in the second position is different from that in the third position. That is, from the first position to the second position, the movement of the air guide plate 1002 is not only extending along the air outlet direction, but also rotating, which causes the air outlet direction to change.

[0380] Optionally, during the process of the air guide plate 1002 opening from the first position to the second position, the rotational connection point on the second connecting rod 2 with the air guide plate 1002 is along the first linear direction (e.g., Figure 28 N, such as Figure 42 , 43 The linear motion (in the direction of E) can not only increase the movement speed of the air guide plate 1002, but also simplify the design process of the drive mechanism used for the air conditioning air guide plate.

[0381] Optionally, during the process of the air guide plate 1002 opening from the first position to the second position, the motion trajectory of the rotational connection point R (i.e. the connection part) between the first link 1 and the air guide plate 1002 includes a straight segment trajectory and / or a curved segment trajectory. In other words, it may include at least one of a straight segment trajectory and a curved segment trajectory.

[0382] When the motion trajectory of the first link 1 at the point of rotational connection with the air guide plate 1002 includes a straight line segment, it can be a straight line ( Figure 43 The L in the middle can also be a broken line formed by multiple connected straight lines; when the motion trajectory of the first connecting rod 1 at the rotational connection with the air guide plate 1002 includes a curved segment trajectory, the radii of curvature of at least two points on the curved segment trajectory are the same or different.

[0383] Optionally, during the process of the air guide plate 1002 opening from the first position to the second position, the rotational connection point on the first connecting rod 1 with the air guide plate 1002 is along the second straight direction ( Figure 43 The first straight line direction (L) makes linear motion, which can increase the movement speed of the air guide plate 1002; wherein, the first straight line direction and the second straight line direction intersect, so that the air guide plate 1002 can rotate, thereby enabling the air guide plate 1002 to move from the first position to the second position.

[0384] Optionally, during the process of the air guide plate 1002 opening from the first position to the second position, the rotational connection point of the first connecting rod 1 and the air guide plate 1002 successively moves linearly along the second straight line direction and moves curvilinearly along the curve direction. This motion trajectory can not only meet the requirements of the air guide position of the air guide plate 1002, but also simplify the design of the drive mechanism used for the air guide plate of the air conditioner.

[0385] The angle between the first straight direction and the second straight direction is less than or equal to 30°. The angle between the first straight direction and the second straight direction is small, such as 0°, 5°, 10°, 15°, 20°, 25°, or 30°. This allows the movement trajectories of the rotational connection points on the first connecting rod 1 and the second connecting rod 2 with the air guide plate 1002 to be parallel or approximately parallel when the air guide plate 1002 is opened from the first position. This ensures that the air guide plate 1002 can extend in a straight line or with a slight rotation when it starts moving from the first position, thus avoiding interference between the air guide plate 1002 and the housing 1001 when the air guide plate 1002 rotates.

[0386] Optionally, during the process of the air guide plate 1002 opening from the first position to the second position, the rotational connection point on the first connecting rod 1 and the air guide plate 1002 sequentially moves along the second straight direction ( Figure 42 (O) moves in a straight line, along the curve direction ( Figure 42 P) moves in a curved path along the direction of the third straight line ( Figure 42 The Q) moves in a straight line. This motion trajectory can not only meet the requirements for the air guiding position of the air guide plate 1002, but also simplify the design of the drive mechanism used for the air conditioning air guide plate.

[0387] Optionally, the first straight line direction and the third straight line direction intersect and the included angle is greater than the included angle between the first straight line direction and the second straight line direction.

[0388] In the initial stage when the air guide plate 1002 opens from the first position, the rotational connection between the first connecting rod 1 and the air guide plate 1002 moves first along the second linear direction and then along the third linear direction. In this initial stage, the air guide plate 1002 is relatively close to the housing 1001, therefore it needs to extend first and then rotate, or extend while rotating at a small angle. The rotation needs to be controlled at a small angle, thus the angle between the first and second linear directions needs to be small. As the air guide plate 1002 opens, the distance between it and the housing 1001 increases, allowing the air guide plate 1002 to rotate at a larger angle to reach the target air guide position as quickly as possible. Therefore, the angle between the first and third linear directions becomes larger.

[0389] The curved direction and the third straight direction are on the same side of the first straight direction, which makes the first link 1 and the second link 2 move smoothly and avoids jamming during the movement of the first link 1 and the second link 2.

[0390] Optionally, during the process of the air guide plate 1002 opening from the first position to the second position, as the air guide plate 1002 opens, the distance between the motion trajectory of the first connecting rod 1 at the rotational connection point with the air guide plate 1002 and the motion trajectory of the second connecting rod 2 at the rotational connection point with the air guide plate 1002 increases.

[0391] In the initial stage when the air guide plate 1002 opens from the first position, the distance between the movement trajectory of the first link 1 and the rotational connection point of the air guide plate 1002 and the movement trajectory of the second link 2 and the rotational connection point of the air guide plate 1002 is small, which can prevent the air guide plate 1002 from rotating at a large angle and avoid interference between the air guide plate 1002 and the housing 1001. As the air guide plate 1002 opens further, the distance between the movement trajectory of the first link 1 and the rotational connection point of the air guide plate 1002 and the movement trajectory of the second link 2 and the rotational connection point of the air guide plate 1002 gradually increases, which can make the air guide plate 1002 flip quickly to reach the target air guiding position as soon as possible.

[0392] Optionally, the first position is the closed position where the air guide plate 1002 closes the air outlet, and the second position is the maximum air supply position.

[0393] Optionally, the drive mechanism for the air conditioning deflector also includes a guide member, which is fixedly mounted on the housing 1001.

[0394] The connecting rod is provided with a guide portion; the guide member is provided with a guide mating portion that cooperates with the guide portion to guide the movement of the first connecting rod 1 and / or the second connecting rod 2. The guide portion includes a first guide portion 19 provided on the first connecting rod 1 and a second guide portion 28 provided on the second connecting rod 2, and the guide mating portion includes a first guide mating portion 512 and a second guide mating portion 521.

[0395] The guide member is provided with a first guide engagement part 512; the first connecting rod 1 includes a first rod body 18, the rotating member 3 is drivenly connected to the first rod body 18, the first rotating shaft is provided at the connecting part, the first rod body 18 is provided with a first guide part 19, the first guide part 19 cooperates with the first guide engagement part 512 to guide the movement trajectory of the first connecting rod 1; during the process of the air guide plate 1002 opening from the first position to the second position, the movement trajectory of the first guide part 19 is a curved trajectory to cooperate with the second connecting rod 2 to realize the movement of the air guide plate 1002 between the first position and the second position.

[0396] One of the guiding section and the guiding mating section includes a guide post, and the other includes a guide groove. During the opening of the air guide plate (from the first position to the fourth position), the rotating component rotates in a set direction to drive the linkage assembly to move. The guide post is located in the guide groove and moves unidirectionally relative to the guide groove along the length of the guide groove, without reversing. During the entire closing process of the air guide plate, the guide post moves unidirectionally in the opposite direction along the length of the guide groove.

[0397] During the opening of the air guide plate, the motor rotates in one direction, driving the guide column to move in one direction along the length of the guide groove. The unidirectional rotation of the motor simplifies the control logic of the motor. During the closing of the air guide plate, the motor rotates in the opposite direction, driving the guide column to move in the opposite direction along the length of the guide groove, and this movement is also unidirectional.

[0398] The number of guide mating parts is at least two, and the number of guide parts is not less than the number of guide mating parts. That is, the number of guide parts and guide mating parts is at least two. The number of guide grooves is at least two, and each guide groove is provided with at least one guide post.

[0399] The number of guide pillars is greater than two, where the line connecting three of the guide pillars forms a triangle. And / or, the number of guide slots is greater than two, where the line connecting the midpoints of three of the guide slots along their length forms a triangle.

[0400] The line connecting the middle of the three guide posts and / or the three guide grooves along their length forms a triangle, which can define a plane instead of being on the same straight line, thus guiding the connecting rod to perform planar motion.

[0401] The guide component includes a mechanism box 5, a box cover 51, a first connecting rod 1, a second connecting rod 2, and a box body 52 arranged sequentially. For example... Figure 4 and 6As shown, the first guide mating part 512 is provided on the surface of the cover 51 facing the first connecting rod 1. One of the first guide part 19 and the first guide mating part 512 is a first guide post, and the other is a first guide groove. The first guide post is located in the first guide groove and slides relative to the first guide groove. The first guide post and the first guide groove are adapted to each other. The shape of the first guide groove is the same as the movement trajectory of the first connecting rod 1 at the location of the first guide groove or the first guide post that mates with the first guide groove, so as to guide and further limit the movement trajectory of the first connecting rod 1 through the cooperation of the first guide post and the first guide groove.

[0402] The guide post includes a first guide post, and the guide groove includes a first guide groove. During the opening of the air guide plate, the first guide post is located in the first guide groove and moves unidirectionally along the length of the first guide groove relative to it. This simplifies the movement trajectory of the first link, thereby simplifying the structure of the drive mechanism used for the air conditioning air guide plate.

[0403] The first connecting rod 1 is cut by the first plane to obtain the longitudinal section of the first connecting rod 1. The motion trajectory is different at different points on the longitudinal section. The first plane is perpendicular to the thickness direction of the first connecting rod 1 and is the plane containing the length and width directions of the first connecting rod 1.

[0404] The number of first guide mating parts is at least two, and the number of first guide parts is not less than the number of first guide mating parts. When the number of first guide parts and first guide mating parts is greater than two, the lines connecting multiple first guide parts 19 are not on the same straight line but form a triangle. The lines connecting three first guide mating parts among multiple first guide mating parts are not on the same straight line but form a triangle. That is, the lines connecting three first guide posts among multiple first guide posts form a triangle, and the lines connecting the middle parts of the length direction of three first guide grooves among multiple first guide grooves form a triangle. In this way, multiple first guide parts 19 can jointly guide the first connecting rod 1 to perform planar motion, so that during the opening of the air guide plate, the first rod body extends out of the air outlet while rotating in the plane where the first connecting rod is located, and the rotation center during the rotation process is not fixed.

[0405] The guide member is provided with a second guide mating part 521; the second link is provided with a second guide part 28, which mates with the second guide mating part 521 to guide the movement trajectory of the second link 2.

[0406] The second guide mating part 521 is provided on the surface of the housing 52 facing the second connecting rod 2. One of the second guide part 28 and the second guide mating part 521 is a second guide post, and the other is a second guide groove. The second guide post is located within the second guide groove and slides relative to it. The second guide post and the second guide groove are adapted to each other. The shape of the second guide groove is the same as the movement trajectory of the second connecting rod 2, so as to guide and further define the movement trajectory of the second connecting rod 2 through the cooperation of the second guide post and the second guide groove. The guide post includes a second guide post, and the guide groove includes a second guide groove.

[0407] During the opening of the air guide plate, the second guide post is located in the second guide groove and moves unidirectionally along the length of the second guide groove relative to the second guide groove.

[0408] The second guide groove includes a straight guide section and a curved guide section connected together. During the opening of the air guide plate, the second guide column slides through the straight guide section and the curved guide section in sequence, and moves in one direction within both the straight guide section and the curved guide section.

[0409] The motion trajectory of each part of the second link is the same, which is translational motion. The shape of the second guide groove is the same as the motion trajectory of the second link 2. Therefore, the straight guide segment is the straight trajectory N, and the curved guide segment is the circular arc trajectory M.

[0410] The second link 2 is cut off by the second plane to obtain the longitudinal section of the second link 2. The motion trajectory is the same at all points on the longitudinal section. The second plane is perpendicular to the thickness direction of the second link 2 and is the plane containing the length and width directions of the second link 2.

[0411] The number of second guide mating parts is at least two, and the number of second guide parts is not less than the number of second guide mating parts.

[0412] When the number of second guide parts 28 and second guide mating parts is greater than two, the lines connecting the multiple second guide parts 28 are not on the same straight line, and the lines connecting the multiple second guide mating parts are not on the same straight line. For example, the lines connecting three of the multiple second guide parts form a triangle; the lines connecting three of the multiple second guide mating parts form a triangle, that is, the lines connecting the middle parts of the length direction of three of the multiple second guide grooves form a triangle, and the lines connecting three of the multiple second guide posts form a triangle. In this way, the multiple second guide parts 28 can jointly guide the second connecting rod 2 to perform planar motion during the process of the air guide plate moving from the second position to the fourth position. When the air guide plate moves from the first position to the second position, the second connecting rod performs linear motion.

[0413] In Embodiment 1, there are two of each of the first guide post, the first guide groove, the second guide post, and the second guide groove. In Embodiment 2, there are three of each of the following:

[0414] Optionally, during the opening of the air guide plate, the movement trajectory of the first rod body is the first curved segment trajectory, and the shape of the first guide groove is the same as the movement trajectory of the first connecting rod 1 at the location of the first guide groove or the first guide post that cooperates with the first guide groove. Therefore, the first guide groove is a curved guide groove.

[0415] The first curve segment trajectory 513 includes a first sub-curve segment trajectory 514 and a second sub-curve segment trajectory 515 connected sequentially along the length direction of the first connecting rod 1; wherein, the connection between the first sub-curve segment trajectory 514 and the second sub-curve segment trajectory 515 forms a bend angle W.

[0416] The curved guide groove includes a first sub-curved guide groove and a second sub-curved guide groove arranged sequentially along the length of the first connecting rod, and the connection between the first sub-curved guide groove and the second sub-curved guide groove forms an angle; the first sub-curved guide groove is the first sub-curved segment trajectory 514, and the second sub-curved guide groove is the second sub-curved segment trajectory 515.

[0417] During the opening of the air guide plate, the first guide post slides through the first sub-curve guide groove and the second sub-curve guide groove in sequence, and moves in one direction in both the first and second sub-curve guide grooves.

[0418] During the opening of the air guide plate, the first guide column starts moving relative to the first sub-curve from the end of the first sub-curve guide groove away from the second sub-curve guide groove. After moving unidirectionally along the first sub-curve guide groove to the bend W, it enters the second sub-curve guide groove and moves unidirectionally along the direction away from the bend until it reaches the end of the second sub-curve guide groove away from the bend.

[0419] Optionally, during the process of the air guide plate 1002 opening from the second position to the fourth position, the motion trajectory of the second connecting rod 2 at the rotational connection point with the air guide plate 1002 is an arc-shaped trajectory, for example, as shown in Figure 1002. Figure 28 Medium circular arc trajectory M, Figure 42 and Figure 43 The circular arc trajectory F simplifies the design of the drive mechanism used for air conditioning air guide vanes.

[0420] In the closed position, the first guide post is located at the end of the first sub-curved trajectory 514 away from the second sub-curved trajectory 515, and the second guide post is located at the end of the straight section of the second guide groove away from the arc-shaped section. As the air guide plate 1002 opens, the first guide post moves along the first sub-curved trajectory 514 towards the second sub-curved trajectory 515, and the second guide post moves along the straight section and towards the arc-shaped section. In the cooling flat-blowing position, the first guide post reaches the bend, and then enters the second sub-curved trajectory 515 and moves away from the first sub-curved trajectory 514. In the maximum airflow position, the first guide post enters the second sub-curved trajectory 515 at the end away from the first sub-curved trajectory 514 and remains stationary. The second guide post enters the connection between the straight section and the arc-shaped section, and then moves along the arc-shaped section until the heating down-blowing position.

[0421] Optionally, during the process of the air guide plate 1002 opening from the second position to the fourth position, the first link 1 remains stationary, and the rotational connection point of the second link 2 with the air guide plate 1002 rotates around the axis of the first rotational shaft.

[0422] In this way, during the process of the air guide plate 1002 opening from the second position to the fourth position, the rotating part 3 no longer needs to drive the first connecting rod 1 to move, thereby simplifying the structure of the drive mechanism used for the air conditioner air guide plate. Moreover, the rotating connection point on the second connecting rod 2 with the air guide plate 1002 rotates around the axis of the first rotating shaft, and the second connecting rod 2 drives the air guide plate 1002 to flip, thereby meeting the requirements for the air guiding position of the air guide plate 1002.

[0423] Optionally, the center of the arc-shaped trajectory M and the linear motion trajectory in the first straight line direction are located on the same side of the arc-shaped trajectory M, so that the second link 2 rotates along the arc-shaped trajectory M after extending along the first straight line direction.

[0424] The circumference of the arc trajectory M is less than the length of the linear trajectory in the first straight line direction.

[0425] This application also provides an air conditioner, including an indoor unit 100. The indoor unit 100 includes an air guide plate 1002 and a driving mechanism for the air guide plate as described in any of the above embodiments. The first link 1 and the second link 2 are both rotatably connected to the air guide plate 1002.

[0426] The foregoing description and accompanying drawings fully illustrate embodiments of the present disclosure to enable those skilled in the art to practice them.

Individual components and functions are optional unless explicitly required, and the order of operation may vary.
