Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of air conditioning, and more particularly to an air conditioner. Background Technology

[0002] In the air conditioning industry, large air guide vane technology has become a widely recognized selling point, especially for residential air conditioners. The extra-large air guide vane not only improves the cooling effect by preventing direct airflow onto people and the heating effect by creating a carpet-like breeze, but also provides consumers with a visually appealing experience, making users more reassured about bedroom air conditioners that prevent direct airflow and providing a more worry-free user experience. Therefore, various air conditioner manufacturers have begun researching the movement mechanisms that drive these large air guide vanes.

[0003] In existing technologies, the motion mechanism of the air guide plate is mostly a gear and rack structure, which has poor load-bearing capacity. The air guide plate is small, and the motion form to achieve the compound motion of pushing and rotating requires multiple stepper motors to work together, resulting in poor air conditioning blowing effect. In addition, there are problems such as poor stability and easy shaking during the motion. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This invention at least partially solves one of the technical problems in the related art.

[0005] Therefore, this application aims to provide an air conditioner in which the central shaft of the driven member is connected to a transmission module, which is disposed within a sliding housing, and the sliding housing slides within a push-out groove. Thus, the driven member moves along the length of the push-out groove. When the drive slide rod rotates around the drive shaft, its sliding within the drive groove causes the driven member to move along the length of the push-out groove. This pushes the air guide plate to move, allowing it to disengage from the air outlet. Furthermore, the trajectory slide rod on the driven member slides within a trajectory groove, causing the drive member to rotate around the central shaft. The transmission module transmits this rotation to the air guide plate, causing it to rotate and guide airflow. This design provides a stable structure and good airflow performance.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides an air conditioner, comprising:

[0007] The casing has an air outlet.

[0008] Indoor heat exchanger, used to exchange heat with the air passing through it;

[0009] A heat exchange fan is disposed inside the housing. The heat exchange fan is used to excite airflow through the indoor heat exchanger and then output it to the room through the air outlet.

[0010] An air guide plate is disposed at the air outlet of the housing;

[0011] A base plate, on one side of which is provided a track groove and an ejection groove, one end of which penetrates through the base plate;

[0012] A sliding shell that slides within the ejection groove;

[0013] A transmission module is disposed inside the sliding shell and is connected to the air guide plate;

[0014] A driven member is disposed on one side of the base plate, and the driven member is connected to the transmission module;

[0015] A track slide bar is disposed on the side of the driven member facing the base plate, and the track slide bar slides within the track groove;

[0016] The drive module is used to drive the driven member to move so that the track slide rod slides along the track slide groove, thereby driving the air guide plate to move a certain distance and then flip through the transmission module via the driven member;

[0017] The trajectory chute includes interconnected trajectory segments and a first arc segment, the length direction of the trajectory segment being the same as the length direction of the ejection groove; the first arc segment is located at the end of the trajectory segment closer to the air guide plate;

[0018] When the drive module drives the driven member and the track slide rod to move on the track segment, the driven member drives the sliding shell, the transmission module and the air guide plate to move, and the air guide plate extends at this time; when the track slide rod moves along the first arc segment, the driven member drives the air guide plate to flip through the transmission module.

[0019] In the technical solution, when the track slider connected to the driven member moves along the track segment, the central shaft on the driven member drives the sliding shell, transmission module, and air guide plate to move. At this time, the air guide plate only moves. When the track slider moves to the connection point between the first arc segment and the track segment, the central shaft and the axis of the first arc segment are collinear. The track slider continues to move along the first arc segment. At this time, the driven member rotates about the central shaft as the pivot. The rotation of the central shaft drives the air guide plate to flip through the transmission module, thus realizing the function of the air guide plate first being pushed out and then flipped.

[0020] In some embodiments of this application, a first connecting segment is provided between the trajectory segment and the first arc segment, the length direction of the first connecting segment is the same as the length direction of the trajectory segment; the two ends of the first connecting segment are respectively connected to the first arc segment and the trajectory segment.

[0021] In the technical solution, after passing through the trajectory segment, the track slider enters the first connecting segment. When the track slider slides in the first connecting segment, the driven member continues to drive the air guide plate to move until the connection between the first connecting segment and the first arc segment, where the central axis is collinear with the axis of the first arc segment. The track slider continues to move along the first arc segment, at which point the driven member rotates around the central axis. The rotation of the central axis drives the air guide plate to flip through the transmission module. The distance the air guide plate is pushed out is increased by the first connecting segment.

[0022] In some embodiments of this application, the connection between the trajectory segment and the first connecting segment is a circular arc transition.

[0023] In the technical solution, because the length directions of the trajectory segment and the first connecting segment are not collinear, an arc transition is used to connect the trajectory segment and the first connecting segment. This improves the smoothness of the trajectory slider sliding in the trajectory groove. When the trajectory slider passes through the arc transition between the trajectory segment and the first connecting segment, because the trajectory slider changes from linear motion to curved motion, the driven component will rotate around the central axis. At this time, the central axis will drive the air guide plate to flip through the transmission module. However, because the arc transition between the trajectory segment and the first connecting segment is very small, the air guide plate will only flip slightly.

[0024] In some embodiments of this application, the centerline of the ejection groove is defined as the central axis; the trajectory groove further includes a second connecting segment and a second arc segment, the second connecting segment and the second arc segment being mirror images of the first connecting segment and the first arc segment with the central axis as a reference.

[0025] In the technical solution, when the driving component reaches the center axis to rotate forward or flip, the trajectory slide of the driven component enters the first connecting section or the second connecting section respectively. Therefore, the rotation direction of the driven component is different in the first arc section and the second arc section respectively, so the flip direction of the air guide plate is different. This allows the flip direction of the air guide plate to be adjusted under different modes or different requirements.

[0026] In some embodiments of this application, the driving module includes:

[0027] A track slide bar is provided on the side of the driven member facing the base plate, and the track slide bar slides within the track groove;

[0028] A central shaft is disposed on the side of the driven member facing the base plate, and the central shaft is connected to the transmission module;

[0029] A drive slide rod, which slides within the drive groove;

[0030] A drive shaft, which is parallel to and spaced apart from the drive slide bar;

[0031] A driving component, wherein the driving shaft is connected to the driving slide rod; the driving component is used to drive the driving shaft to rotate.

[0032] In the technical solution, the central shaft on the driven component is connected to the transmission module, which is housed within a sliding shell. The sliding shell slides within the ejection groove. Therefore, the driven component moves along the length of the ejection groove. When the drive slide rod rotates around the drive shaft, its sliding within the drive groove causes the driven component to move along the length of the ejection groove. This pushes the air guide plate to move, allowing it to disengage from the air outlet. Furthermore, the trajectory slide rod on the driven component slides within the trajectory groove, causing the drive component to rotate around the central shaft. The transmission module transmits this rotation to the air guide plate, causing it to rotate and guide the airflow.

[0033] In some embodiments of this application, the radius of the first arc segment is the same as the distance from the central axis to the track slider; the radius of the second arc segment is the same as the distance from the central axis to the track slider.

[0034] In the technical solution, it is ensured that when the track slider slides in the first circular arc segment, the central axis only rotates. It is also ensured that when the track slider slides in the second circular arc segment, the central axis only rotates.

[0035] In some embodiments of this application, the air conditioner further includes a limiting rod located on the side of the drive shaft away from the drive slide rod, and a first stop bar and a second stop bar are provided on the side of the driven member away from the base plate, the first stop bar and the second stop bar being used to abut against the limiting rod;

[0036] When the limiting rod abuts against and slides along the length direction of the first stop bar, the track slide bar enters the first connecting section from the track segment;

[0037] When the limiting rod abuts against and slides along the length of the second stop bar, the track slide bar enters the second connecting section from the track segment.

[0038] In the technical solution, a triangular structure is formed between the limiting rod, the drive slide rod, and the central shaft. The drive slide rod drives the driven member to move through the drive groove, and the trajectory slide rod moves within the trajectory segment. Depending on the forward or reverse rotation of the drive shaft, the limiting rod approaches the first or second stop. When the trajectory slide rod is located at the connection between the trajectory segment and the first and second connecting segments, the limiting rod abuts against the corresponding first or second stop. At this time, the limiting rod is limited by the corresponding first or second stop, thereby ensuring that the trajectory slide rod can smoothly enter the corresponding first or second connecting segment and avoiding jamming of the trajectory slide rod at the connection between the trajectory segment and the first and second connecting segments, which would cause the air guide plate to malfunction.

[0039] In some embodiments of this application, the follower has a first clearance groove and a second clearance groove on the side where the first limiting groove is provided, and the first clearance groove and the second clearance groove are used for the limit rod to pass through.

[0040] In the technical solution, when the track slider is located in the first or second arc segment, the driven member rotates around the central axis. At this time, the limiting rod will disengage from the first or second limiting groove and will contact the driven member. Therefore, by setting the first and second clearance grooves, the limiting rod can slide through the first and second clearance grooves, thereby improving the stability of the structure's operation.

[0041] In some embodiments of this application, a middle plate is provided on one side of the base plate where the track groove is formed, and the driving component is detachably mounted on the middle plate; a receiving cavity is formed between the middle plate and the base plate, and the driven component, the sliding shell, the transmission module and the driving slide rod are all located in the receiving cavity.

[0042] In addition, the device itself also provides an air conditioner, which includes:

[0043] The casing has an air outlet.

[0044] Indoor heat exchanger, used to exchange heat with the air passing through it;

[0045] A heat exchange fan is disposed inside the housing. The heat exchange fan is used to excite airflow through the indoor heat exchanger and then output it to the room through the air outlet.

[0046] An air guide plate is disposed at the air outlet of the housing;

[0047] A base plate, on one side of which is provided a track slide rail and an ejection groove, one end of which penetrates through the base plate;

[0048] A sliding shell that slides within the ejection groove;

[0049] A transmission module is disposed inside the sliding shell and is connected to the air guide plate;

[0050] A driven member is disposed on one side of the base plate, and the driven member is connected to the transmission module;

[0051] A track slider is disposed on the side of the driven member facing the base plate, and the track slider slides within the track rail;

[0052] The drive module is used to drive the driven member to move so that the track slider slides along the track rail, thereby driving the air guide plate to move a certain distance and then flip through the transmission module via the driven member;

[0053] The track rail includes interconnected track segments and a first arc segment, the length direction of the track segment being the same as the length direction of the ejection groove; the first arc segment is located at the end of the track segment closer to the air guide plate;

[0054] When the drive module drives the driven member and the track slider to move on the track segment, the driven member drives the sliding shell, the transmission module and the air guide plate to move, and the air guide plate extends at this time; when the track slider moves along the first arc segment, the driven member drives the air guide plate to flip through the transmission module.

[0055] In the technical solution, the driven component is guided by the movement of the track slider on the track rail.

[0056] Additional aspects and advantages of the invention will be set forth in part in the description which follows, and in part will be obvious from the description, or may be learned by practice of the invention. Attached Figure Description

[0095] In this application, the air conditioner performs a refrigeration cycle in its indoor unit using a compressor, condenser, expansion valve, and indoor heat exchanger. The refrigeration cycle includes a series of processes involving compression, condensation, expansion, and evaporation, supplying refrigerant to conditioned and heat-exchanged air. The compressor compresses the refrigerant gas at a low temperature and low pressure, discharging it at a high temperature and high pressure. The discharged refrigerant gas flows into the condenser. The condenser condenses the compressed refrigerant into a liquid phase, and heat is released to the surrounding environment through the condensation process. The expansion valve expands the high-temperature, high-pressure liquid refrigerant condensed in the condenser into a low-pressure liquid refrigerant. The indoor heat exchanger evaporates the refrigerant that has expanded in the expansion valve and returns the low-temperature, low-pressure refrigerant gas to the compressor. The indoor heat exchanger achieves a cooling effect by utilizing the latent heat of refrigerant evaporation to exchange heat with the material being cooled. Throughout the cycle, the air conditioner's indoor unit can regulate the temperature of the indoor space. The outdoor unit of an air conditioner indoor unit refers to the part of the refrigeration cycle that includes the compressor and the outdoor heat exchanger. The indoor unit of an air conditioner indoor unit includes an indoor heat exchanger, and an expansion valve can be provided in either the indoor or outdoor unit. The indoor and outdoor heat exchangers function as either condensers or indoor heat exchangers. When the indoor heat exchanger functions as a condenser, the air conditioner indoor unit acts as a heater in heating mode; when it functions as an indoor heat exchanger, the air conditioner indoor unit acts as a cooler in cooling mode.

[0096] In the following, embodiments of this application will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0097] As attached Figures 1 to 10 As shown, in an illustrative embodiment of the air conditioner of the present invention, the air conditioner includes: a housing 100, an air guide plate 200, a base plate 300, a sliding shell 170, a transmission module 180, a driven component 600, a track slide rod 140, a central shaft 150, a drive groove 160, a drive slide rod 210, a drive shaft 220, and a drive component 250; wherein, an air outlet is provided on the housing 100; the air guide plate 200 is disposed at the air outlet of the housing 100; a track slide groove 400 and a push-out groove 500 are provided on one side of the base plate 300, one end of the push-out groove penetrating the base plate 300; the sliding shell 170 slides within the push-out groove;

[0098] The transmission module 180 is disposed inside the sliding shell 170 and is connected to the air guide plate 200; the driven member 600 is disposed on one side of the base plate 300; the track slide rod 140 is disposed on the side of the driven member 600 facing the base plate 300, and the track slide rod 140 slides in the track groove 400.

[0099] A central shaft 150 is located on the side of the driven member 600 facing the base plate 300, and the central shaft 150 is connected to the transmission module 180; a drive groove 160 is formed on the side of the driven member 600 away from the base plate 300; a drive slide rod 210 slides within the drive groove 160; a drive shaft 220 is parallel to and spaced apart from the drive slide rod 210, and the drive shaft 220 is connected to the drive slide rod 210; a drive member 250 is used to drive the drive shaft 220 to rotate.

[0100] The driving component 250 drives the driving shaft 220 to rotate, and the driving shaft 220 drives the driving slide bar 210 to flip. The movement direction of the driven component 600 is restricted by the slide groove, so that the driving component 250 drives the sliding shell 170 to extend out of the slide groove. At this time, the sliding shell 170 drives the air guide plate 200 to extend. The track slide bar 140 slides along the track of the track slide groove 400, so that the driving component 250 rotates about the central axis 150. The rotation of the central axis 150 drives the air guide plate 200 to flip through the transmission module 180.

[0101] In the above scheme, the central shaft 150 on the driven member 600 is connected to the transmission module 180, which is located inside the sliding shell 170, and the sliding shell 170 slides within the ejection groove. Therefore, the moving direction of the driven member 600 is the length direction of the ejection groove. When the drive slide rod 210 rotates around the drive shaft 220, the drive slide rod 210 slides within the drive groove 160, causing the driven member 600 to move along the length direction of the ejection groove. This pushes the air guide plate 200 to move, so that the air guide plate 200 is no longer obstructing the air outlet. Furthermore, the trajectory slide rod 140 on the driven member 600 slides within the trajectory groove 400, and the trajectory of the trajectory groove causes the drive member 250 to rotate around the central shaft 150. The rotation of the central shaft 150 is transmitted to the air guide plate 200 through the transmission module 180, causing the air guide plate 200 to rotate and guide the air. The structure is stable and the blowing effect is good.

[0102] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 In some embodiments, the air guide plate 200 is located at one end of the ejection groove that passes through the bottom plate 300.

[0103] In some embodiments, the air guide plate 200 is rotatably connected to the transmission module 180, and the centerline of the air guide plate 200 is rotatably connected to the transmission module 180.

[0104] Please refer to Figure 17 and Figure 18In some embodiments, the trajectory chute 400 includes a trajectory segment 401 and a first arc segment 403 that are interconnected. The length direction of the trajectory segment 401 is the same as the length direction of the ejection groove 500. The first arc segment 403 is located at the end of the trajectory segment 401 near the air guide plate 200. The radius of the first arc segment 403 is the same as the distance between the central axis 150 and the trajectory slide rod 140. With the above scheme, when the trajectory slide rod 140 connected to the follower 600 moves in the trajectory segment 401, the central axis 150 on the follower 600 drives the sliding shell 170, the transmission module 180 and the air guide plate 200 to move. At this time, the air guide plate 200 only moves. When the track slider 140 moves to the connection point between the first arc segment 403 and the track segment 401, the central axis 150 is collinear with the axis of the first arc segment 403. The track slider 140 continues to move along the first arc segment 403. At this time, the driven member 600 rotates about the central axis 150. The rotation of the central axis 150 drives the air guide plate 200 to flip through the transmission module 180, thus realizing the function of the air guide plate 200 first being pushed out and then flipped. The radius of the first arc segment 403 is the same as the distance between the central axis 150 and the track slider 140, thus ensuring that when the track slider 140 slides in the first arc segment 403, the central axis 150 only rotates.

[0105] Please refer to Figure 17 and Figure 18 In some embodiments, the trajectory segment 401 is located at one end of the ejection groove; the first arc segment 403 is located on one side of the ejection groove. A first connecting segment 402 is provided between the trajectory segment 401 and the first arc segment 403; the length direction of the first connecting segment 402 is the same as the length direction of the trajectory segment 401, that is, the first connecting segment 402 is parallel to the trajectory segment 401; the two ends of the first connecting segment 402 are respectively connected to the first arc segment 403 and the trajectory segment 401. The first connecting segment 402 is located on the side of the ejection groove 500 near the first arc segment 403, and the first connecting segment 402 connects the trajectory segment 401 and the first arc segment 403. Through the above scheme, the track slider 140 enters the first connecting section 402 after passing through the track segment 401. While sliding in the first connecting section 402, the driven member 600 continues to move the air guide plate 200 until it reaches the connection point between the first connecting section 402 and the first arc segment 403, where the central axis 150 is collinear with the axis of the first arc segment 403. The track slider 140 continues to move along the first arc segment 403, at which point the driven member 600 rotates about the central axis 150. The rotation of the central axis 150 drives the air guide plate 200 to flip via the transmission module 180. The first connecting section 402 extends the distance the air guide plate 200 extends.

[0106] Please refer to Figure 17 and Figure 18In some embodiments, the connection between trajectory segment 401 and the first connecting segment 402 is achieved through an arc transition. Similarly, the connection between the first connecting segment 402 and the first arc segment 403 is also achieved through an arc transition. Because the length directions of trajectory segment 401 and the first connecting segment 402 are not collinear, an arc transition is used to connect them. This improves the smoothness of the trajectory slider 140 as it slides in the trajectory groove 400. When the trajectory slider 140 passes through the arc transition between trajectory segment 401 and the first connecting segment 402, because its linear motion changes to curved motion, the follower 600 rotates about the central axis 150. At this time, the central axis 150 drives the air guide plate 200 to rotate via the transmission module 180. However, because the arc transition between trajectory segment 401 and the first connecting segment 402 is very small, the air guide plate 200 only rotates slightly.

[0107] Please refer to Figure 17 and Figure 18 In some embodiments, the centerline of the slide groove is the central axis. The track slide groove 400 also includes a second connecting segment 404 and a second arc segment 405. The second connecting segment 404 and the second arc segment 405 are mirror images of the first connecting segment 402 and the first arc segment 403 with the central axis as a reference. The second connecting segment 404 and the first connecting segment 402 are both connected to the track segment 401. The axes of the first arc segment 403 and the second arc segment 405 are collinear. Through the above scheme, when the driving member 250 reaches the central axis 150, the track slide rod 140 of the driven member 600 enters the first connecting segment 402 or the second connecting segment 404 respectively. Therefore, the rotation direction of the driven member 600 in the first arc segment 403 and the second arc segment 405 are different, and thus the rotation direction of the air guide plate 200 is different, thereby realizing the adjustment of the rotation direction of the air guide plate 200 under different modes or different needs.

[0108] In some embodiments, the radius of the second arc segment 405 is the same as the distance between the central axis 150 and the track slider 140, thus ensuring that the central axis 150 only rotates when the track slider 140 slides in the second arc segment 405.

[0109] In some embodiments, the length direction of the central axis is the same as the length direction of the ejection groove, and the distance between the central axis and the left and right sides of the ejection groove is the same.

[0110] In some embodiments, the width of the track groove 400 is 0.5 mm greater than the diameter of the track slide rod 140. The width of the track groove 400 is preferably 7 mm.

[0111] In some embodiments, the depth of the track groove 400 is set according to the height of the track slide rod 140. The height of the track slide rod 140 is not less than the depth of the track groove 400, and the depth of the track groove 400 is preferably 6 mm.

[0112] Please refer to Figures 11 to 16 In some embodiments, when the track slider 140 is located at the end of the track segment 401 away from the first arc segment 403, the length direction of the drive groove 160 is perpendicular to the length direction of the ejection groove, and the drive slider 210 is located in the middle of the drive groove 160. The line connecting the drive slider 210 and the drive shaft 220 is perpendicular to the drive groove 160. When the drive member 250 drives the drive shaft 220 to rotate, the drive slider 210 flips and moves relative to one end of the drive groove 160. At this time, due to the restriction of the ejection groove, the driven member 600 moves along the length direction of the ejection groove.

[0113] In some embodiments, when the track slider 140 is located at one end of the track segment 401 away from the first arc segment 403, the central axis 150 is coaxial with the drive slider 210.

[0114] Please refer to Figures 11 to 16 In some embodiments, the air conditioner further includes a limiting rod 230, which is located on the side of the drive shaft 220 away from the drive slide rod 210 and is connected to both the drive shaft 220 and the drive slide rod 210. A first stop bar 700 and a second stop bar 900 are provided on the side of the driven member 600 away from the base plate 300. The first stop bar 700 and the second stop bar 900 are located on one side of the drive slide groove 160, and are equidistant from their respective ends of the drive slide groove 160. The first stop bar 700 and the second stop bar 900 abut against the limiting rod 230. A triangular structure is formed between the limiting rod 230, the drive slide rod 210, and the central shaft 150. The drive slide rod 210 drives the driven member 600 to move via the drive slide groove 160, and the trajectory slide rod 140 moves within the trajectory segment 401. As the drive shaft 220 rotates forward or backward, the limiting rod 230 approaches the first stop bar 700 or the second stop bar 900. When the track slide bar 140 is located at the connection between the track segment 401 and the first connecting segment 402 and the second connecting segment 404, the limiting rod 230 abuts against the corresponding first stop bar 700 or the second stop bar 900. At this time, the limiting rod 230 is limited by the corresponding first stop bar 700 or the second stop bar 900, thereby ensuring that the track slide bar 140 can smoothly enter the corresponding first connecting segment 402 or the second connecting segment 404, and avoiding the track slide bar 140 from getting stuck at the connection between the track segment 401 and the first connecting segment 402 and the second connecting segment 404, which would cause the air guide plate 200 to malfunction.

[0115] In some embodiments, when the track slider 140 is located at the end of the track segment 401 away from the first arc segment 403, the first stop bar 700 is close to the second connecting segment 404, and the second stop bar 900 is close to the first connecting segment 402. When the limiting rod 230 abuts against and slides along the length direction of the first stop bar 700, the track slider 140 enters the first connecting segment 402 from the track segment 401. When the limiting rod 230 abuts against and slides along the length direction of the second stop bar 900, the track slider 140 enters the second connecting segment 404 from the track segment 401.

[0116] Please refer to Figures 11 to 16 In some embodiments, the first stop bar 700 and the second stop bar 900 are arc-shaped and symmetrically arranged, with the center of the first stop bar 700 facing the second stop bar 900, and the center of the second stop bar 900 facing the first stop bar 700. When the limiting rod 230 contacts and abuts against the first stop bar 700, it moves along the extension direction of the first stop bar 700, making it easier for the track slide bar 140 to enter the first connecting section 402 from the track segment 401. When the limiting rod 230 contacts and abuts against the second stop bar 900, it moves along the extension direction of the second stop bar 900, making it easier for the track slide bar 140 to enter the second connecting section 404 from the track segment 401.

[0117] Please refer to Figures 11 to 16 In some embodiments, the driven member 600 is provided with a first limiting groove 800 and a second limiting groove 110 spaced apart on the side facing the driving slide bar 210. The first limiting groove 800 and the second limiting groove 110 are located between the first stop bar 700 and the second stop bar 900, and the side wall of the first limiting groove 800 away from the second stop bar 900 is flush with the first stop bar 700, and the side wall of the second limiting groove 110 away from the first stop bar 700 is flush with the second stop bar 900; the first limiting groove 800 and the second limiting groove 110 are used to limit the insertion and sliding of the limiting rod 230. The first limiting groove 800 and the second limiting groove 110 further restrict the movement direction of the limiting rod 230, so that the driven member 600 moves along a preset direction, so that the track slide bar 140 can more easily enter the first connecting section 402 or the second connecting section 404 from the track segment 401.

[0118] In some embodiments, the ends of the first limiting groove 800 and the second limiting groove 110 are both connected to the outside, so as to ensure that the limiting member can smoothly enter and exit the first limiting groove 800 or the second limiting groove 110.

[0119] In some embodiments, the first limiting groove 800 includes a first limiting segment 801, which is close to the first stop bar 700, and the extending direction of the first limiting segment 801 is the same as the extending direction of the first stop bar 700. When the limiting rod 230 enters the first limiting segment 801, the limiting rod 230 simultaneously contacts the outer peripheral wall of the first limiting segment 801 and the inner peripheral wall of the first stop bar 700. The first limiting groove 800 further defines the moving direction of the limiting rod 230, thereby restricting the moving direction of the follower 600, so that the track slide bar 140 can more easily enter the first connecting segment 402 from the track segment 401.

[0120] In some embodiments, the first limiting groove 800 further includes a second limiting segment 802, and the first limiting segment 801 and the second limiting segment 802 are connected. The second limiting segment 802 is inclined from the side away from the first limiting segment 801 toward the direction away from the second stop bar 900. The limiting rod 230 enters the second limiting segment 802 after passing through the first limiting segment 801, and slides within the second limiting segment 802 to avoid the limiting rod 230 hitting the driven member 600 and improve the operational stability of the structure.

[0121] In some embodiments, the first limiting segment 801 and the second limiting segment 802 are connected by rounded corners, so that when the limiting rod 230 slides in the first limiting groove 800, it can smoothly enter the second limiting segment 802 from the first limiting segment 801, avoid jamming, and improve the smoothness of the structure operation.

[0122] In some embodiments, the second limiting groove 110 includes a third limiting segment 111, which is close to the second stop bar 900, and the extending direction of the third limiting segment 111 is the same as the extending direction of the second stop bar 900. When the limiting rod 230 enters the third limiting segment 111, the limiting rod 230 simultaneously contacts the outer peripheral wall of the third limiting segment 111 and the inner peripheral wall of the second stop bar 900. The second limiting groove 110 further defines the moving direction of the limiting rod 230, thereby restricting the moving direction of the follower 600, so that the track slide bar 140 can more easily enter the first connecting segment 402 from the track segment 401.

[0123] Please refer to Figures 11 to 16 In some embodiments, the second limiting groove 110 further includes a fourth limiting segment 112, and the third limiting segment 111 and the fourth limiting segment 112 are connected. The fourth limiting segment 112 is inclined from the side away from the third limiting segment 111 toward the direction away from the second stop bar 900. The limiting rod 230 enters the fourth limiting segment 112 after passing through the third limiting segment 111, and slides within the fourth limiting segment 112 to avoid the limiting rod 230 hitting the driven member 600, thereby improving the operational stability of the structure.

[0124] In some embodiments, the third limiting segment 111 and the fourth limiting segment 112 are connected by rounded corners, so that when the limiting rod 230 slides in the second limiting groove 110, it can smoothly enter the fourth limiting segment 112 from the third limiting segment 111, avoid jamming, and improve the smoothness of the structure operation.

[0125] In some embodiments, the second limiting segment 802 and the fourth limiting segment 112 pass through the drive slide 160.

[0126] Please refer to Figures 11 to 16 In some embodiments, the follower 600, on the side where the first limiting groove 800 is provided, also has a first clearance groove 120 and a second clearance groove 130. The first clearance groove 120 and the second clearance groove 130 are used for the passage of the limiting rod 230. When the track slide rod 140 is located at the first arc segment 403 or the second arc segment 405, the follower 600 rotates about the central axis 150. At this time, the limiting rod 230 will disengage from the first limiting groove 800 or the second limiting groove 110 and will touch the follower 600. Therefore, the provision of the first clearance groove 120 and the second clearance groove 130 allows the limiting rod 230 to slide through the first clearance groove 120 and the second clearance groove 130, thereby improving the stability of the structure during operation.

[0127] In some embodiments, the air conditioner further includes a connecting rod, to which the limiting rod 230, the drive slide rod 210, and the drive shaft 220 are all fixed. The connecting rod connects the limiting rod 230, the drive slide rod 210, and the drive shaft 220.

[0128] Please refer to Figures 20 to 22 In some embodiments, the air conditioner further includes a first gear 190, and the output shaft of the drive member 250 is connected to a second gear 240, which meshes with the first gear 190. A limiting rod 230, a drive slide rod 210, and a drive shaft 220 are all mounted on the first gear 190, and the drive shaft 220 is coaxially arranged with the first gear 190. The drive member 250 drives the second gear 240 to rotate, and the second gear 240 meshes with the first gear 190 to drive the first gear 190 to rotate about the drive shaft 220 as its axis.

[0129] In some embodiments, the connecting rod is disposed on the first gear 190, and the drive shaft 220 is coaxially disposed with the first gear 190. The connecting rod, the first gear 190, the limiting rod 230, the drive slide 210 and the drive shaft 220 are integrally formed to enhance the strength of the structure.

[0130] In some embodiments, the pitch circle diameters of the first gear 190 and the second gear 240 are different, and the sizes of the first gear 190 and the second gear 240 are adjusted according to the rotational speed of the drive member 250.

[0131] In some embodiments, the pitch circle diameter of the first gear 190 is larger than that of the second gear 240. This changes the reduction ratio between the first gear 190 and the second gear 240, thereby improving the accuracy of the rotation angle of the first gear 190, making the position of the follower 600 more accurate, and improving the stability of the structure operation.

[0132] In some embodiments, the second gear 240 is a common involute gear with a pitch circle diameter of 18 mm and a tooth width of 5 mm.

[0133] In some embodiments, the drive element 250 includes, but is not limited to, a motor or electric motor. The drive element 250 is preferably a stepper motor.

[0134] In some embodiments, a middle plate is provided on the side of the base plate 300 where the track groove 400 is formed, and the drive member 250 is detachably mounted on the middle plate. A receiving cavity is formed between the middle plate and the base plate 300, and the driven member 600, the sliding shell 170, the transmission module 180, and the drive slide rod 210 are all located in the receiving cavity.

[0135] In some embodiments, the output shaft of the drive member 250 passes through the second gear 240, and the second gear 240 is fixed to the output shaft of the drive member 250. The output shaft of the drive member 250 abuts against the middle plate.

[0136] In some embodiments, a positioning hole is provided on the middle plate, and the output shaft of the drive member 250 passes through the second gear 240 and is inserted into the positioning hole.

[0137] In some embodiments, the drive unit 250 is mounted on the middle plate via a threaded connector, which includes, but is not limited to, screws and bolts.

[0138] In some embodiments, the drive element 250 is snapped onto the middle plate. The drive element 250 is connected to the middle plate by a snap or latch.

[0139] In some embodiments, the sliding shell 170 is elongated and hollow inside. The transmission module 180 is located inside the sliding shell 170. The length direction of the sliding shell 170 is the same as the length direction of the ejection groove. When the follower 600 moves, it drives the sliding shell 170 to move along the length direction of the ejection groove through the central shaft 150.

[0140] Please refer to Figure 19In some embodiments, the transmission module 180 includes a first synchronous pulley 181, a second synchronous pulley 182, and a synchronous belt 183 disposed within a sliding housing 170. The axes of the first synchronous pulley 181 and the second synchronous pulley 182 are parallel, and the first synchronous pulley 181 and the second synchronous pulley 182 are spaced apart at both ends inside the sliding housing 170. The first synchronous pulley 181 and the second synchronous pulley 182 are rotatably connected to the sliding housing 170, and the synchronous belt 183 simultaneously covers the first synchronous pulley 181 and the second synchronous pulley 182. The first synchronous pulley 181 is connected to the central shaft 150, and the second synchronous pulley 182 is connected to the air guide plate 200. When the central shaft 150 rotates, the central shaft 150 drives the first synchronous pulley 181 to rotate, and the first synchronous pulley 181 drives the second synchronous pulley 182 to rotate via the synchronous belt 183. The second synchronous pulley 182 drives the air guide plate 200 to rotate.

[0141] In some embodiments, the axis of the second synchronous pulley 182 is collinear with the centerline of the air guide plate 200.

[0142] In some embodiments, the centerline of the air guide plate 200 is the same as the length direction of the air guide plate 200; the centerline of the air guide plate 200 is equidistant from both sides of the air guide plate 200 in the width direction; a reference plane perpendicular to the air guide plate 200 is defined, and the centerline lies within the reference plane; the axis of the second synchronous wheel 182 lies on the reference plane. This ensures that the axis of the air guide plate 200 is equidistant from both sides when it is flipped, thereby ensuring that the sides of the air guide plate 200 do not interfere with the housing 100 when it is flipped.

[0143] In some embodiments, the diameters of the first synchronous wheel 181 and the second synchronous wheel 182 are set according to the required rotation speed and angle of the air guide plate 200. When a larger rotation speed and angle are required for the air guide plate 200, the diameter of the second synchronous wheel 182 is smaller than the diameter of the first synchronous wheel 181. When a smaller rotation speed and angle are required for the air guide plate 200, the diameter of the second synchronous wheel 182 is larger than the diameter of the first synchronous wheel 181.

[0144] In some embodiments, the transmission module 180 is a gear set, which transmits the rotation of the central shaft 150 to the air guide plate 200.

[0145] In some embodiments, the connection between the second synchronous pulley 182 and the air guide plate 200 is located on the centerline of the air guide plate 200.

[0146] Please refer to Figure 22 and Figure 29 In some embodiments, because the air guide plate 200 is first pushed out and then flipped over in this application, in order to avoid interference between the rotated air guide plate 200 after being pushed out and the housing 100, the air guide plate 200 needs to meet the following conditions:

[0147]

[0148] Where L is the extension distance of the air guide plate 200; W is the width of the air guide plate 200.

[0149] That is, the extension distance of the air guide plate 200 is not less than half the width of the air guide plate 200, so that the air guide plate 200 will not interfere with the housing 100 when it rotates after being extended, thus improving the stability of the structure operation.

[0150] Please refer to Figure 22 , Figure 29 , Figure 31 and Figure 32 In some embodiments, to ensure that the air guide plate 200 can still rotate effectively after being pushed out, the distance from the central axis 150 to the drive shaft 220 is defined as the first distance, and the distance from the drive slide 210 to the drive shaft 220 is defined as the second distance; the first distance is less than twice the second distance, and the first distance is greater than 0.4 times the second distance.

[0151] Furthermore, the extension distance of the air guide plate 200 shall not exceed the first distance plus 0.6 times the second distance;

[0152] That is, the following conditions must be met:

[0153] 0.4R < D < 2R

[0154] L≤D+0.6R

[0155] Where D is the distance from the central axis 150 to the drive shaft 220; R is the distance from the drive slide 210 to the drive shaft 220; and L is the extension distance of the air guide plate 200. This method ensures that the air guide plate 200 can still rotate effectively after being extended.

[0156] In some embodiments, the air guide plate 200 and the transmission module 180 are rotatably connected by a flip shaft, the length direction of the flip shaft is the same as the length direction of the air guide plate 200; the distances from the flip shaft to the two sides of the width of the air guide plate 200 are the third distance and the fourth distance, respectively.

[0157] The extension distance of the air guide plate 200 is greater than the third distance, and the extension distance of the air guide plate 200 is greater than the fourth distance; this ensures that the distance between the axis of the air guide plate 200 and the two sides of the air guide plate 200 is the same when the air guide plate 200 is flipped, and thus ensures that the two sides of the air guide plate 200 will not interfere with the housing 100 when the air guide plate 200 is flipped.

[0158] In some embodiments, the middle plate has an opening at the center, through which the drive slide rod 210 on the first gear 190 can be placed in the receiving cavity and inserted and slid in the drive slide groove 160.

[0159] In some embodiments, an end cap is provided on the side of the middle plate away from the bottom plate 300, and the end cap closes the opening on the middle plate to close the first gear 190.

[0160] In some embodiments, the base plate 300, the middle plate, and the end cap are detachably connected. The connection methods between the base plate 300, the middle plate, and the end cap include, but are not limited to, snaps, latches, and threaded connections.

[0161] In some embodiments, the drive shaft 220 passes through the first gear 190 and is rotatably connected to the end cover.

[0162] In some embodiments, the air conditioners of this application include, but are not limited to, wall-mounted air conditioners and floor-standing air conditioners.

[0163] Please refer to Figure 23 and Figure 24 This application utilizes the above-described method, where the driving component 250 drives the second gear 240 to rotate. The second gear 240 meshes with the first gear 190, causing the first gear 190 to rotate about the drive shaft 220. The first gear 190, via a connecting rod, simultaneously drives the drive slide rod 210 and the limiting rod 230 to rotate about the drive shaft 220. Because the central shaft 150 on the driven member 600 is connected to the transmission module 180, and the transmission module 180 is disposed within the sliding housing 170, which slides within the ejection groove, the driven member 600 only moves along the length of the ejection groove. Under the sliding action of the drive slide rod 210 within the drive groove 160, the driven member 600 is pulled, at which point the trajectory slide rod 140 on the driven member 600 slides within the trajectory segment 401. Simultaneously, the air guide plate 200 connected to the transmission module 180 is ejected.

[0164] Please refer to Figure 25 and Figure 26When the track slider 140 moves to the connection point between the track segment 401 and the first connecting segment 402 and the second connecting segment 404, the limiting rod 230 enters the corresponding first limiting groove 800 and second limiting groove 110, and the limiting rod 230 abuts against the corresponding first stop 700 or second stop 900, thus limiting the limiting rod 230. The driven member 600 continues to move under the action of the driving slider 210 and the driving groove 160, at which point the track segment 401 will enter the corresponding first connecting segment 402 or second connecting segment 404. Because the first connecting segment 402 and the second connecting segment 404 have rounded corners at the connection with the track segment 401, the central shaft 150 on the driven member 600 will rotate at a small angle. The transmission module 180 will transmit the rotation of the central shaft 150 to the air guide plate 200. Therefore, when the track slide bar 140 enters the corresponding first connecting segment 402 or second connecting segment 404 in the track segment 401, the air guide plate 200 will flip at a small angle while being pushed out.

[0165] Please refer to Figure 27 and Figure 28 As the track slider 140 moves in the corresponding first connecting section 402 or second connecting section 404, the air guide plate 200 continues to be pushed out.

[0166] Please refer to Figure 29 and Figure 30 When the track slider 140 moves to the first arc segment 403 or the second arc segment 405, the central axis 150 is coaxial with the axes of the first arc segment 403 and the second arc segment 405. The driven member 600 continues to move under the action of the drive slider 210 and the drive groove 160, and the central axis 150 slides within the corresponding first arc segment 403 and second arc segment 405. At this time, the driven member 600 rotates only about the central axis 150. The rotation of the central axis 150 is transmitted to the first synchronous pulley 181, which drives the second synchronous pulley 182 to rotate via the synchronous belt 183. The second synchronous pulley 182 drives the air guide plate 200 to rotate, thus achieving the function of the air guide plate 200 first being pushed out and then rotating.

[0167] The forward or reverse rotation of the drive member 250 changes the direction of movement of the limit rod 230. That is, whether the limit rod 230 approaches the first stop 700 or the second stop 900 is determined by the forward or reverse rotation of the output shaft of the drive member 250. The contact between the limit rod 230 and the first stop 700 or the second stop 900 determines whether the track slide rod 140 enters the first connecting section 402 or the second connecting section 404. When the track slide rod 140 slides within the first arc segment 403 or the second arc segment 405, because the arc directions of the first arc segment 403 and the second arc segment 405 are different, the rotation direction of the central shaft 150 on the driven member 600 is opposite. The rotation direction of the central shaft 150 corresponds to the rotation direction of the air guide plate 200. Therefore, by changing the forward or reverse rotation of the output shaft of the drive member 250, the flipping direction of the air guide plate 200 can be changed.

[0168] The air conditioner controls the rotation direction and angle of the output shaft of the drive unit 250 according to different operating modes. This controls the air guide plate 200 to adapt to the current operating mode.

[0169] In some embodiments, the air conditioner is a wall-mounted air conditioner. The housing 100 is used to mount the air to the wall. An indoor heat exchanger and a heat exchange fan are disposed inside the housing 100. The indoor heat exchanger is used to exchange heat with the air passing through it. The heat exchange fan is used to discharge the airflow to the room through the air outlet after the air has been heated by the indoor heat exchanger. The length direction of the indoor heat exchanger is the same as the length direction of the housing 100, and the heat exchange fan is disposed below the indoor heat exchanger. The air outlet is disposed on the lower front side of the housing 100. A return air vent is also provided on the top of the housing 100. The heat exchange fan rotates to allow air to enter the housing 100 through the return air vent, be heated by the indoor heat exchanger, and then be discharged to the room through the air outlet.

[0170] In some embodiments, the air conditioner is a vertical air conditioner with a casing 100 arranged vertically along its length. The casing 100 is placed on the ground, and an indoor heat exchanger and a heat exchange fan are disposed inside the casing 100. The length direction of the indoor heat exchanger is the same as the length direction of the casing 100, and the heat exchange fan is located in front of the indoor heat exchanger. The air outlet is located on the front side of the casing 100 near the heat exchange fan. The heat exchange fan rotates to allow air to enter the casing 100, where it is heated by the indoor heat exchanger and then discharged into the room through the air outlet.

[0172] The air guide plate 200 is located at the air outlet of the housing 100; a track groove 400 and an ejection groove are provided on one side of the bottom plate 300, and one end of the ejection groove passes through the bottom plate 300; the sliding shell 170 slides in the ejection groove;

[0173] The transmission module 180 is disposed inside the sliding shell 170 and is connected to the air guide plate 200; the driven member 600 is disposed on one side of the base plate 300 and is connected to the transmission module 180; the track slide rod 140 is disposed on the side of the driven member 600 facing the base plate 300 and slides in the track groove 400.

[0174] The drive module is used to move the driven member 600 so that the track slide bar 140 slides along the track slide groove 400, thereby driving the air guide plate 200 to move a certain distance and then flip through the transmission module 180 via the driven member 600.

[0175] In some embodiments, the drive module includes a track slide bar 140, a central shaft 150, a drive slide bar 210, a drive shaft 220, and a drive member 250, wherein the track slide bar 140 is disposed on the side of the follower 600 facing the base plate 300, and the track slide bar 140 slides within the track groove 400.
