[0040] Reference below Figure 1-Figure 13 The air inlet assembly 101 according to an embodiment of the present invention is described. Through the coordinated use of the driving member 31, the transmission rod 32 and the air inlet baffle 2, the air inlet baffle 2 can be extended to the outside of the air inlet 11 to open the air inlet 11, that is, the air inlet baffle 2 is lifted upward in the process of opening the air inlet 11, thereby reducing the encroachment of the internal space of the shell 1 during the movement of the air inlet baffle 2 and preventing interference with other structures. Therefore, there is no need to increase the height of the shell 1, and the internal structure is more compact and small in size, saving the production cost of the shell 1, and the structure is simple and reliable, and easy to install.

[0041] like Figure 1-Figure 13 As shown, an air intake assembly 101 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a housing 1 , an air intake baffle 2 and a driving structure 3 .

[0042] The housing 1 is provided with an air inlet 11. Specifically, the housing 1 is the main frame of the air inlet assembly 101, and is used to provide installation space for other structures such as the air inlet baffle 2 and the drive structure 3. Figure 1 and Fig.13 As shown, the shell 1 is provided with an air inlet 11, wherein the air inlet 11 can be provided in plurality, and the plurality of air inlets 11 are spaced apart and distributed on the air inlet side of the shell 1, so that the air outside the shell 1 can be passed into the shell 1, and the provision of a plurality of air inlets 11 can increase the air intake volume.

[0043] The air inlet baffle 2 can be movably connected to the shell 1, such as the air inlet baffle 2 can be directly or indirectly connected to the shell 1, and the air inlet baffle 2 can be movable relative to the shell 1, and its movable mode can be rotation or movement.

[0044] Among them, the driving structure 3 includes a driving member 31 and a transmission rod 32, the transmission rod 32 is rotatably installed on the shell 1, the driving member 31, the transmission rod 32 and the air inlet baffle 2 are dynamically connected in sequence, and the transmission rod 32 is suitable for driving the air inlet baffle 2 to extend to the air inlet 11 to close the air inlet 11, and is suitable for driving the air inlet baffle 2 to extend outside the air inlet 11 to open the air inlet 11.

[0045] Specifically, the driving member 31 is a power source with a driving function, and the driving member 31 can be constructed as a driving motor, which is sequentially connected to the transmission rod 32 and the air inlet baffle 2 by power, so that after the driving motor rotates, the driving force can be sequentially transmitted to the transmission rod 32 and the air inlet baffle 2 to achieve the movement of the air inlet baffle 2 relative to the housing 1. The air inlet baffle 2 is arranged at the air inlet 11 of the housing 1, so that during the movement of the air inlet baffle 2 relative to the housing 1, the air inlet baffle 2 can close and open the air inlet 11.

[0046] Furthermore, when the driving member 31 drives the transmission rod 32 to move, the transmission rod 32 can drive the air inlet baffle 2 to move in a direction away from the shell 1, so that the air inlet baffle 2 can be extended to the outside of the air inlet 11, opening the air inlet 11, so that the external air enters the shell 1 from the air inlet 11, and when the driving member 31 drives the transmission rod 32 to move in the opposite direction, the transmission rod 32 can drive the air inlet baffle 2 to move in a direction close to the shell 1, so that the air inlet baffle 2 can be extended to the air inlet 11, closing the air inlet 11, so that the external air and impurities cannot enter the shell 1.

[0047] Among them, the air inlet assembly 101 can be applied to indoor or outdoor air conditioners. In this way, after the air conditioner is turned on, the air inlet baffle 2 will open the air inlet 11 under the drive of the driving member 31 and the transmission rod 32 to meet the air intake demand of the air conditioner, and after the air conditioner is turned off, the air inlet baffle 2 will close the air inlet 11 under the drive of the driving member 31 and the transmission rod 32, which can reduce dust and the like from falling into the shell 1, thereby reducing the problem of bacteria breeding at the air inlet 11 and causing the air quality to deteriorate.

[0048] Thus, through the coordinated use of the driving member 31, the transmission rod 32 and the air inlet baffle 2, the air inlet baffle 2 can be extended to the outside of the air inlet 11 to open the air inlet 11, that is, the air inlet baffle 2 is lifted upward in the process of opening the air inlet 11, which reduces the occupation of the internal space of the shell 1 by the movement of the air inlet baffle 2, and will not interfere with other structures, so there is no need to increase the height of the shell 1, and the internal structure is more compact and small in size, saving the production cost of the shell 1, and the structure is simple, reliable and easy to install. The air inlet 11 is closed when the air inlet baffle 2 extends to the air inlet 11, and the air inlet baffle 2 can be flush with the surface of the shell 1, so that the overall structure has a flat appearance, and the air inlet baffle 2 is retracted to close the air inlet 11.

[0049] In some embodiments, the air inlet baffles 2 and the transmission rods 32 are both multiple and connected in a one-to-one correspondence.

[0050] Specifically, there are multiple air inlets 11, such as Figure 1-Figure 8As shown, there are two air inlet baffles 2 and two transmission rods 32, and the two transmission rods 32 are connected to the two air inlet baffles 2 one by one in a power-connected manner, and the driving member 31 is connected to the transmission rod 32 in a power-connected manner, so that the driving member 31 can drive the two transmission rods 32 to move, and can respectively drive the two air inlet baffles 2 to extend outside the air inlet 11 to open the air inlet 11, and can respectively drive the two air inlet baffles 2 to extend to the air inlet 11 to close the air inlet 11, so as to realize the opening and closing of the air inlet 11. Among them, the number of air inlet baffles 2 and transmission rods 32 is not limited to that described in this embodiment, and can also be set to three, four, etc.

[0051] The driving member 31 may be dynamically connected to the two transmission rods 32 at the same time, or two driving members 31 may be dynamically connected to the two transmission rods 32 respectively. The configuration method is varied and can be selected according to actual space requirements.

[0052] The driving structure 3 also includes a movable connecting rod 33. The output end of the driving member 31 is provided with a driving crank 34. The driving crank 34 is connected to the movable connecting rod 33. The movable connecting rod 33 is respectively connected to multiple transmission rods 32 to drive multiple air inlet baffles 2 to move synchronously.

[0053] Specifically, Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the driving structure 3 is arranged at the end of the air inlet baffle 2, the driving member 31 is coaxially connected to the driving crank 34, the driving crank 34 is also movably connected to the movable connecting rod 33, and the movable connecting rod 33 is movably connected to multiple transmission rods 32. In this way, after the driving member 31 rotates, the driving force can be transmitted to the multiple transmission rods 32 through the driving crank 34 and the movable connecting rod 33 in sequence, and the multiple transmission rods 32 simultaneously drive the multiple air inlet baffles 2 to move, so as to realize the movement of the multiple air inlet baffles 2 relative to the shell 1.

[0054] Therefore, by setting a movable connecting rod 33, the synchronous movement of multiple air inlet baffles 2 can be achieved, so that the multiple air inlet baffles 2 open or close the air inlet 11 at the same time, thereby improving the movement synchronization of the multiple air inlet baffles 2, and improving the movement accuracy of the multiple air inlet baffles 2. The opening angles of the air inlet baffles 2 relative to the shell 1 can be made consistent, so that the air volume at the air inlet 11 is more uniform and the air intake effect is better. The transmission structure is simple, the assembly is simple, the movement is reliable, the structure is compact, and the space occupied is small.

[0055] It should be noted that a connecting hole is provided at one end of the driving crank 34 for connecting to the output end of the driving member 31. Fig. 9As shown, the other end of the driving crank 34 is provided with a fifth rotating shaft 341, and correspondingly, the movable connecting rod 33 is provided with a fifth connecting hole 332. The fifth rotating shaft 341 is connected to the fifth connecting hole 332, so that the driving crank 34 and the movable connecting rod 33 can be rotatably connected. The connection method is simple and easy to assemble.

[0056] In some embodiments, the transmission rod 32 includes a first rod portion 321 and a second rod portion 322 that are bent and connected to each other. The connection between the first rod portion 321 and the second rod portion 322 is rotatably coordinated with the shell 1, and one end of the first rod portion 321 away from the second rod portion 322 is rotatably connected to the movable connecting rod 33, and one end of the second rod portion 322 away from the first rod portion 321 is rotatably connected to the air inlet baffle 2.

[0057] Specifically, the first rod portion 321 and the second rod portion 322 are connected by bending, and the bending angle can be a right angle or a non-right angle, which can be selectively set according to the actual required rotation range and space requirements. The connection between the first rod portion 321 and the second rod portion 322 is connected to the housing 1 through a rotating shaft, wherein the housing 1 is a fixed end, that is, the housing 1 is a supporting point of the transmission rod 32, and the connection between the first rod portion 321 and the second rod portion 322 can rotate relative to the housing 1, wherein the first rod portion 321 and the second rod portion 322 are connected to the movable connecting rod 33 and the air inlet baffle 2 at the ends away from each other, respectively, so that the dynamic connection between the movable connecting rod 33, the transmission rod 32 and the air inlet baffle 2 can be realized.

[0058] Further, when the driving member 31 drives the driving crank 34 to rotate, the driving crank 34 pushes the movable connecting rod 33 to move, and the first rod portion 321 moves with the movable connecting rod 33, and the connection between the first rod portion 321 and the second rod portion 322 rotates clockwise relative to the shell 1, so that the second rod portion 322 can drive the air inlet baffle 2 to move in a direction away from the shell 1, so that the air inlet baffle 2 can extend outside the air inlet 11, open the air inlet 11, and as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown; when the driving member 31 drives the driving crank 34 to rotate in the opposite direction, and the driving crank 34 pushes the movable connecting rod 33 to move in the opposite direction, and the first rod portion 321 moves in the opposite direction with the movable connecting rod 33, and the connection between the first rod portion 321 and the second rod portion 322 rotates counterclockwise relative to the housing 1, so that the second rod portion 322 can drive the air inlet baffle 2 to move in the direction close to the housing 1, so that the air inlet baffle 2 can extend to the air inlet 11, close the air inlet 11, and as shown Figure 6 and Figure 7 shown.

[0059] Therefore, by setting the above-mentioned structure, the driving member 31, the driving crank 34, the movable connecting rod 33 and the transmission rod 32 can sequentially drive the air inlet baffle 2 to open or close the air inlet 11. The overall connecting rod power is transmitted in sequence, which makes the movement process simple, the movement is stable and reliable, and the structure is simple and occupies little space.

[0060] It should be noted that the connection between the first rod portion 321 and the second rod portion 322 and the housing 1 can be rotatably connected to the housing 1 via a connecting shaft such as a pin shaft or a rotating shaft. Figure 2 , Figure 7 and Fig. 9 As shown, a third rotating shaft 323 is provided at the connection between the first rod portion 321 and the second rod portion 322, and correspondingly, the housing 1 is provided with a third connecting hole 12, and the third rotating shaft 323 is connected to the third connecting hole 12 to realize the rotation connection between the transmission shaft and the housing 1, and a fourth rotating shaft 3211 is provided at the end of the first rod portion 321, and correspondingly, the movable connecting rod 33 is provided with a fourth connecting hole 331, and the fourth rotating shaft 3211 is connected to the fourth connecting hole 331 to realize the rotation connection between the transmission rod 32 and the movable connecting rod 33, and the end of the second rod portion 322 is connected to the first rotating shaft 3221, and correspondingly, as shown Fig.10 As shown, the air inlet baffle plate 2 is provided with a first connecting hole 21 , and the first rotating shaft 3221 is connected to the first connecting hole 21 , so that the transmission rod 32 and the air inlet baffle plate 2 can be rotatably connected.

[0061] In some embodiments, the first rod portion 321 is vertically connected to the second rod portion 322, so that the extension length of the first rod portion 321 and the second rod portion 322 can be reduced, and after the movable connecting rod 33 performs an inclined translation motion with the driving crank 34, and the movable connecting rod 33 drives the first rod portion 321 to move, the second rod portion 322 and the first rod portion 321 rotate relative to the shell 1 at the connection between the two, so that the second rod portion 322 can rotate relative to the shell 1, and the second rod portion 322 drives the air inlet baffle 2 to rotate and open. The overall structure has a small range of motion, and the overall structure is compact and small, occupying a small space, which is conducive to the layout of the drive structure 3 in the shell 1.

[0062] The extension lengths of the first rod 321 and the second rod 322 can be the same or different, and the configuration methods are various and can be configured according to actual space requirements. In actual design, the first rod 321 and the second rod 322 can be integrally formed, which reduces the connection steps between the two, facilitates processing, and has stable structural strength.

[0063] In some embodiments, multiple transmission rods 32 are spaced apart and distributed along the length direction of the movable link 33, wherein the movable link 33 can extend in the horizontal direction, and the extension direction of the movable link 33 is the same as the distribution direction of the multiple air inlet baffles 2. Multiple transmission rods 32 are spaced apart and distributed along the length direction of the movable link 33, so that the movable link 33 can simultaneously drive multiple transmission rods 32 to move, so as to simultaneously drive multiple air inlet baffles 2 to move. Multiple structures can be driven to move by one structure, which saves the number of structures and makes the overall structure simple, compact and low in cost. The spacing between two adjacent transmission rods 32 is matched with the center distance of two adjacent air inlet baffles 2, so that interference between two adjacent transmission rods 32 can be avoided, so that the movable link 33 can simultaneously drive multiple transmission rods 32 to move, and the movement process is stable and does not interfere.

[0064] Among them, in this embodiment, if Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 8 As shown, both ends of the movable link 33 are connected to the two transmission rods 32 respectively, and can drive the two transmission rods 32 and the two air inlet baffles 2 to move synchronously.

[0065] In some embodiments, the air inlet baffle 2 extends along the length direction of the air inlet 11, and multiple air inlet baffles 2 are spaced apart in the width direction of the air inlet 11, wherein the shell 1 can be constructed as a rectangular structure, the air inlet 11 can extend along the length direction of the shell 1, and the air inlet baffle 2 is constructed as a rectangular plate, so that each air inlet baffle 2 can cover the air inlet 11 along the length direction of the air inlet 11, and the air inlet 11 can be completely closed by multiple air inlet baffles 2.

[0066] And through the above arrangement, the number of air inlet baffles 2 can be reduced, and the number of driving structures 3 can be reduced. In the length direction of the air inlet baffle 2, one driving structure 3 is connected to each end of the air inlet baffle 2, and the two driving structures 3 can simultaneously drive the two ends of the air inlet baffle 2 to move, so that the movement of the air inlet baffle 2 to open and close the air inlet 11 is more stable and reliable. And the structure of the multiple air inlet baffles 2 is adapted to the outer shape structure of the housing 1, which improves the coordination of the overall structure, and the overall structure is simple and easy to assemble.

[0067] In some embodiments, the air inlet assembly 101 further includes a connecting rod 35 , one end of the connecting rod 35 is rotatably connected to the housing 1 , and the other end of the connecting rod 35 is rotatably connected to the air inlet baffle 2 .

[0068] Specifically, the connecting rod 35 is connected between the shell 1 and the air inlet baffle 2. One end of the connecting rod 35 can be rotatably connected to the shell 1 through a connecting shaft such as a pin shaft, so that the connecting rod 35 and the shell 1 can rotate relative to each other, and the other end of the connecting rod 35 can be rotatably connected to the air inlet baffle 2 through a connecting shaft such as a pin shaft, so that the connecting rod 35 and the air inlet baffle 2 can rotate relative to each other.

[0069] Furthermore, the shell 1 is a fixed end, one end of the connecting rod 35 can rotate with the shell 1, and the other end of the connecting rod 35 rotates relative to the shell 1, so that the other end of the connecting rod 35 pushes the air inlet baffle 2 to move, so as to realize the opening or closing of the air inlet baffle 2.

[0070] Among them, Figure 2 , Figure 7 and Fig. 9 As shown, the second rotating shaft 351 and the sixth rotating shaft 352 can be respectively provided at both ends of the connecting rod 35, and the second rotating shaft 351 and the sixth rotating shaft 352 extend in opposite directions respectively, and correspondingly, the housing 1 is provided with a sixth connecting hole 13, as shown in FIG. Fig.10 As shown, the air inlet baffle 2 is provided with a second connecting hole 22. The sixth rotating shaft 352 is connected to the sixth connecting hole 13, so that the connecting rod 35 can be rotatably connected to the shell 1. The second rotating shaft 351 is connected to the second connecting hole 22, so that the connecting rod 35 can be rotatably connected to the air inlet baffle 2. The structure is simple and the assembly is convenient.

[0071] In actual design, the fifth rotating shaft 341 and the sixth rotating shaft 352 can be respectively formed as one piece with the connecting rod 35. The one piece structure has high strength and can improve the connection strength between the connecting rod 35 and the shell 1 and the air inlet baffle 2 respectively.

[0072] In some embodiments, the transmission rod 32 is rotatably connected to the air inlet baffle 2 around a first axis, and the other end of the connecting rod 35 is rotatably connected to the air inlet baffle 2 around a second axis. The first axis is parallel to and spaced apart from the second axis.

[0073] In this way, the transmission rod 32 can push the air inlet baffle 2 to move, and the air inlet baffle 2 rotates around the first axis relative to the transmission rod 32, and one end of the connecting rod 35 rotates around the shell 1, and the air inlet baffle 2 rotates around the second axis relative to the connecting rod 35, and the first axis is parallel to the second axis, so that the air inlet baffle 2 can rotate around two parallel and spaced axes, making the rotation more stable and reliable.

[0074] Specifically, the first rotating shaft 3221 arranged at the end of the second rod portion 322 of the transmission rod 32 extends along the first axis, and the second rotating shaft 351 arranged at the other end of the connecting rod 35 extends along the second axis, and the first rotating shaft 3221 and the second rotating shaft 351 are distributed in parallel and spaced apart. Correspondingly, the air inlet baffle 2 is provided with a first connecting hole 21 and a second connecting hole 22 distributed and spaced apart, which are connected by the first rotating shaft 3221 and the first connecting hole 21, and are connected by the second rotating shaft 351 and the second connecting hole 22, so that the transmission rod 32 and the connecting rod 35 can be spaced apart and rotatably connected to the air inlet baffle 2, and the connection method is simple and easy to assemble.

[0075] Therefore, by arranging the transmission rod 32 and the connecting rod 35 to be rotatably connected to the air inlet baffle 2 respectively, the rotation of the air inlet baffle 2 around two parallel axes can be realized, and as shown in FIG. Figure 2 As shown, the air inlet baffle 2 rotates in one direction to open the air inlet 11, which can be set as counterclockwise, and the connecting rod 35 is used to limit the first rod portion 321 of the transmission rod 32 to control the opening angle of the air inlet baffle 2, and the first rod portion 321 of the transmission rod 32 is vertically connected to the second rod portion 322. In this way, the air inlet baffle 2 can be rotated clockwise to close the air inlet 11, and the second rod portion 322 can be flush with the shell 1, so that the transmission rod 32 can be limited. The air inlet 11 is closed as shown in FIG. Figure 7 shown.

[0076] Also, it should be noted that the driving structure 3 is mirror-distributed at both ends of the air inlet baffle 2, wherein the driving member 31, the transmission rod 32 and the connecting rod 35 can be directly connected to the housing 1, and a separate mounting seat 4 can also be provided, such as Fig. 9 , Fig.11 and Fig.12 As shown, the driving member 31 can be detachably connected to the mounting base 4, and the transmission rod 32 and the connecting rod 35 are respectively rotatably connected to the mounting base 4, and as shown in FIG. Fig.13 As shown, a mounting groove 14 is provided in the housing 1 for installing the mounting seat 4, and the mounting groove 14 is matched with the mounting seat 4 in structure, which is conducive to the installation and matching of the two, and the driving structure 3 is connected to both ends of the air inlet baffle 2, and the mounting seat 4 is also provided with two, the two mounting seats 4 are respectively a left mounting seat and a right mounting seat, and the left mounting seat and the right mounting seat are respectively provided with a driving member through hole 41 for the output end of the driving member 31 to pass through, and the left mounting seat and the right mounting seat are both provided with a driving member mounting hole 42 for the connection and fixation of the driving member 31. The two mounting seats 4 are respectively provided with positioning holes 43, and the housing 1 is provided with a positioning column 141, and the positioning hole 43 is matched with the positioning column 141, and the two mounting seats 4 are respectively connected to the two mounting grooves 14 by bolts and other connecting members detachably.

[0077] The left mounting seat and the right mounting seat are respectively provided with a third connecting hole 12 and a sixth connecting hole 13. The third connecting hole 12 is connected to the third rotating shaft 323, so that the transmission rod 32 can be connected to the mounting seat 4 in rotation. The sixth connecting hole 13 is connected to the sixth rotating shaft 352, so that the connecting rod 35 can be connected to the mounting seat 4 in rotation. By setting two mounting seats 4, the driving structure 3 can be connected and fixed to the air inlet baffle 2 and the mounting seat 4 to form an integral structure. In this way, the air inlet assembly 101 can be directly installed in the shell 1 in the form of an integral structure, which greatly improves the production efficiency.

[0078] In some embodiments, the air inlet 11 has an air inlet windward side 111 and an air inlet outlet side 112 distributed along the air inlet direction, and the air inlet baffle 2 is suitable for being closed at the air inlet windward side 111 or extending outside the air inlet windward side 111 .

[0079] Specifically, the air inlet direction of the air inlet 11 is from the outside of the shell 1 to the inside of the shell 1, that is, the windward side 111 of the air inlet is located on the outside of the air inlet 11, and the air outlet side 112 of the air inlet is located on the inside of the air inlet 11. In this way, the driving member 31 can drive the air inlet baffle 2 to rotate in the direction away from the shell 1 through the transmission rod 32, and the air inlet baffle 2 extends to the outside of the windward side 111 of the air inlet to open the air inlet 11, so that when the air inlet 11 is in the open state, the air inlet baffle 2 is located on the outside of the shell 1, and the air inlet baffle 2 does not occupy the internal space of the shell 1, so as to avoid interference with other structures. When the driving member 31 drives the air inlet baffle 2 to rotate in the direction close to the shell 1 through the transmission rod 32, the air inlet baffle 2 rotates to be flush with the surface of the shell 1 to close the windward side 111 of the air inlet.

[0080] Therefore, through the arrangement of this embodiment, the air inlet baffle 2 can be rotated outside the shell 1 during the opening and closing movements, will not occupy the internal space of the shell 1, can reduce the overall size of the shell 1, and has a compact structure, good use effect, and lower cost.

[0081] The present invention also provides an air conditioner 100 .

[0082] The air conditioner 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention comprises an air inlet assembly 101 of any one of the above-mentioned embodiments, and the air inlet assembly 101 is detachably connected to the shell 1 of the air conditioner 100. The air inlet assembly 101 comprises a driving structure 3 and an air inlet baffle 2. By the coordinated use of the driving member 31, the transmission rod 32 and the air inlet baffle 2, the air inlet baffle 2 can be extended to the outside of the air inlet 11 to open the air inlet 11, that is, the air inlet baffle 2 is lifted upward in the process of opening the air inlet 11, thereby reducing the encroachment of the internal space of the shell 1 during the movement of the air inlet baffle 2, and will not interfere with other structures, so that there is no need to increase the height dimension of the shell 1, and the internal structure is more compact and small in size, saving the production cost of the shell 1, and the structure is simple, reliable and easy to install. When the air inlet baffle 2 extends to the air inlet 11, the air inlet 11 is closed, and the air inlet baffle 2 can be flush with the surface of the shell 1, so that the overall structure has a smooth appearance, and the air inlet 11 is closed after the air inlet baffle 2 is retracted. The air inlet assembly 101 of this embodiment can also be applied to other air-conditioning systems, with good use effect and a wider range of applications.
