Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of air conditioners, and in particular to an air conditioner. Background Art

[0002] In the air conditioning industry, large air deflector technology has become a widely recognized selling point, especially for residential air conditioners. The oversized air deflectors not only enhance airflow, achieving cooling without blowing on people or heating like a carpet breeze, but also provide consumers with a visually intuitive experience, fostering greater acceptance of bedroom air conditioners that prevent direct blowing and providing a more reassuring user experience. Consequently, various air conditioner manufacturers are researching how to drive large air deflectors.

[0003] In the existing technology, the movement mechanism of the air guide plate is mostly a gear rack structure with poor load-bearing capacity. The air guide plate is small, and the movement form requires multiple stepper motors to cooperate in order to achieve the composite movement of pushing and rotating, resulting in poor air-conditioning blowing effect, and there are problems such as poor stability and easy shaking during the movement. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The present invention solves one of the technical problems in the related art at least to a certain extent.

[0005] To this end, the present application aims to provide an air conditioner, in which the central axis on the follower is connected to the transmission module, and the transmission module is arranged in a sliding shell, and the sliding shell slides in the ejection chute. Therefore, the moving direction of the follower is the length direction of the ejection chute; when the driving slide rod flips with the driving shaft as the axis, the driving slide rod slides in the driving chute and drives the follower to move along the length direction of the ejection chute. At this time, the air guide plate will be pushed to move so that the air guide plate is free from the obstruction of the air outlet. And the track slide rod on the follower slides in the track chute, and the track of the track slide groove causes the driving member to rotate with the central axis as the axis, and the rotation of the central axis is transmitted to the air guide plate through the transmission module, so that the air guide plate flips to achieve wind guidance. Its structure is stable and the blowing effect is good.

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

[0007] A housing having an air outlet;

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

[0009] A heat exchange fan is disposed in the housing and is used to transfer airflow through the indoor heat exchanger and then output it to the indoor room through the air outlet;

[0010] an air guide plate, which is arranged at the air outlet of the housing;

[0011] A bottom plate, one side of which is provided with a track chute and a push-out chute, one end of which passes through the bottom plate;

[0012] a sliding shell sliding in the ejection chute;

[0013] a transmission module disposed in the sliding housing and connected to the air guide plate;

[0014] A driven member is provided on one side of the base plate; a driving slot is provided on the side of the driven member facing away from the base plate;

[0015] A track slide bar, which is arranged on a side of the follower facing the base plate, and the track slide bar slides in the track slide groove;

[0016] a central shaft, which is arranged on a side of the driven member facing the base plate, and the central shaft is connected to the transmission module;

[0017] a driving slide rod sliding in the driving slide groove;

[0018] a driving shaft, which is parallel to and spaced apart from the driving slide bar, and the driving shaft is connected to the driving slide bar;

[0019] A driving member, which is used to drive the driving shaft to rotate;

[0020] The driving member drives the driving shaft to rotate, and the driving shaft drives the driving slide rod to flip, and the moving direction of the driven member is restricted by the pushing-out chute, so that the driving member drives the sliding shell to partially extend out of the pushing-out chute, and at this time, the sliding shell drives the air deflector to extend;

[0021] Furthermore, the track slide bar slides along the track of the track slide groove, so that the driving member rotates around the central shaft, and the rotation of the central shaft drives the air guide plate to flip through the transmission module.

[0022] In the technical solution, the central axis on the follower is connected to the transmission module, which is arranged in a sliding shell, and the sliding shell slides in the ejection chute. Therefore, the movement direction of the follower is the length direction of the ejection chute; when the driving slide rod flips with the driving shaft as the axis, the driving slide rod slides in the driving chute and drives the follower to move along the length direction of the ejection chute. At this time, the air guide plate is pushed to move so that the air guide plate is free from the obstruction of the air outlet. In addition, the track slide rod on the follower slides in the track chute, and the track of the track slide groove causes the driver to rotate with the central axis as the axis. The rotation of the central axis is transmitted to the air guide plate through the transmission module, so that the air guide plate flips to achieve air guidance.

[0023] In some embodiments of the present application, the track slide groove includes a track segment and a first arc segment that are interconnected, and the length direction of the track segment is the same as the length direction of the ejection groove; the first arc segment is located at one end of the track segment close to the air guide plate; the radius of the first arc segment is the same as the distance from the center axis to the track slide rod.

[0024] In the technical solution, when the track slide connected to the follower moves along the track segment, the central axis on the follower drives the sliding housing, transmission module, and air deflector to move. At this point, the air deflector only moves. When the track slide moves to the junction of the first arc segment and the track segment, the central axis becomes collinear with the axis of the first arc segment. The track slide continues to move along the first arc segment, and the follower rotates about the central axis. This rotation of the central axis drives the air deflector to flip through the transmission module, achieving the function of first pushing out and then flipping the air deflector.

[0025] In some embodiments of the present application, a first connecting segment is provided between the trajectory segment and the first arc segment, and 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.

[0026] In the technical solution, the track slide enters the first connecting section after passing through the track section. When the track slide slides in the first connecting section, the follower still drives the air guide plate to move until the first connecting section and the first arc section are connected, and the center axis is collinear with the axis of the first arc section; the track slide continues to move along the first arc section, and at this time the follower rotates with the center axis as the rotating axis, and the rotation of the center axis drives the air guide plate to flip through the transmission module; the first connecting section lengthens the distance that the air guide plate is pushed out.

[0027] In some embodiments of the present application, the center line of the ejection chute is defined as the central axis; the track chute also includes a second connecting segment and a second arc segment, and the second connecting segment and the second arc segment are mirrored to the first connecting segment and the first arc segment with the central axis as the reference.

[0028] In the technical solution, when the driving member reaches the center axis forward rotation or flipping, the trajectory slide bar of the driven member enters the first connecting section or the second connecting section respectively. Therefore, the rotation direction of the driven member in the first arc section and the second arc section is different, and therefore the flipping direction of the air guide plate is different, thereby realizing adjustment of the flipping direction of the air guide plate under different modes or different needs.

[0029] In some embodiments of the present application, the air conditioner further comprises a limit rod, the limit rod being located on a side of the drive shaft away from the drive slide rod, a first stop bar and a second stop bar being provided on a side of the follower away from the bottom plate, the first stop bar and the second stop bar being used to abut against the limit rod;

[0030] When the limiting rod abuts against and slides along the length direction of the first baffle bar, the track slide bar enters the first connecting section from the track section;

[0031] When the limiting rod abuts against and slides along the length direction of the second blocking bar, the track sliding bar enters the second connecting section from the track section.

[0032] In the technical solution, a triangular structure is formed between the limiting rod, the driving slide rod, and the central axis. The driving slide rod drives the follower to move through the driving slide groove, and the track slide rod moves within the track segment. According to the forward rotation or flipping of the driving shaft, the limiting rod approaches the first block bar or the second block bar. When the track slide rod is located at the connection between the track segment and the first connecting segment and the second connecting segment, the limiting rod abuts against the corresponding first block bar or the second block bar. At this time, the limiting rod is limited by the corresponding first block bar or the second block bar, thereby ensuring that the track slide rod can smoothly enter the corresponding first connecting segment or the second connecting segment, avoiding the track slide rod from getting stuck at the connection between the track segment and the first connecting segment and the second connecting segment, causing the air deflector to not operate normally.

[0033] In some embodiments of the present application, a first avoidance groove and a second avoidance groove are further provided on the side of the follower having the first limiting groove, and the first avoidance groove and the second avoidance groove are used for the limiting rod to pass through.

[0034] In the technical solution, when the track slide bar is located in the first or second arc segment, the follower rotates about the central axis, and the limit rod disengages from the first or second limit groove, causing it to contact the follower. Therefore, the first and second avoidance grooves are provided to allow the limit rod to slide through them, thereby improving the stability of the structure.

[0035] Some of the embodiments of this application also include:

[0036] A first gear, a limiting rod, the driving slide rod and the driving shaft are all arranged on the first gear, and the driving shaft is coaxially arranged with the first gear;

[0037] a second gear, the second gear being engaged with the first gear, and the driving member driving the second gear to rotate;

[0038] The driving member drives the second gear to rotate, and the second gear is engaged with the first gear to drive the first gear to rotate around the driving shaft as an axis.

[0039] In the technical solution, the driving member drives the second gear to rotate, and the second gear is engaged with the first gear to drive the first gear to rotate with the driving shaft as the axis.

[0040] In some embodiments of the present application, the pitch circle diameter of the first gear is larger than the pitch circle diameter of the second gear.

[0041] In the technical solution, the reduction ratio of the first gear and the second gear is changed, which relatively improves the accuracy of the rotation angle of the first gear, so that the position of the driven member is more accurate and the stability of the structure operation is improved.

[0042] In some embodiments of the present application, a middle plate is provided on one side of the base plate on which the track groove is opened, and the driving member is detachably provided on the middle plate; an accommodating cavity is formed between the middle plate and the base plate, and the follower, the sliding shell, the transmission module and the driving slide rod are all located in the accommodating cavity.

[0043] In addition, the present application also provides an air conditioner, which includes:

[0044] A housing having an air outlet;

[0045] Indoor heat exchanger, which is used to exchange heat with the air passing through it;

[0046] A heat exchange fan is disposed in the housing and is used to transfer airflow through the indoor heat exchanger and then output it to the indoor room through the air outlet;

[0047] an air guide plate, which is arranged at the air outlet of the housing;

[0048] A bottom plate, one side of which is provided with a track chute and a push-out chute, one end of which passes through the bottom plate;

[0049] a sliding shell sliding in the ejection chute;

[0050] a transmission module disposed in the sliding housing and connected to the air guide plate;

[0051] A driven member, which is arranged on one side of the base plate, and the driven member is connected to the transmission module;

[0052] A track slide bar, which is arranged on a side of the follower facing the base plate, and the track slide bar slides in the track slide groove;

[0053] A driving module, the driving module is used to drive the driven member to move;

[0054] The driving module drives the driven member to move, so that the track slide bar slides along the track of the track slide groove, thereby driving the wind deflector to move a certain distance and then flip over through the driven member via the transmission module.

[0055] In the technical solution, the driving module drives the follower to move, so that the follower drives the air guide plate to move and guide the air through the transmission module. The structure is stable and the blowing effect is good.

[0094] The present invention is described in detail below by way of exemplary embodiments, but it should be understood that elements, structures, and features of one embodiment may be beneficially combined in other embodiments without further description.

[0095] In this application, an air conditioner uses a compressor, condenser, expansion valve, and indoor heat exchanger to perform the refrigeration cycle of the indoor unit. The refrigeration cycle involves a series of processes, including compression, condensation, expansion, and evaporation, supplying refrigerant to the conditioned and heat-exchanged air. The compressor compresses low-temperature, low-pressure refrigerant gas and discharges high-temperature, high-pressure refrigerant gas. The discharged refrigerant gas flows into the condenser. The condenser condenses the compressed refrigerant into a liquid phase, releasing heat 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 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 evaporation of the refrigerant to exchange heat with the material to be cooled. Throughout this cycle, the indoor unit of the air conditioner can regulate the temperature of the indoor space. The outdoor unit of an air conditioner's indoor unit refers to the part of the refrigeration cycle that includes the compressor and outdoor heat exchanger. The indoor unit of an air conditioner's indoor unit includes an indoor heat exchanger, and the expansion valve can be provided in either the indoor unit or the 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's indoor unit functions as a heater in heating mode. When the indoor heat exchanger functions as an indoor heat exchanger, the air conditioner's indoor unit functions as a cooler in cooling mode.

[0096] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present application will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0097] As attached Figures 1 to 10 As shown, in an exemplary embodiment of the air conditioner of the present invention, the air conditioner includes: a housing 100, an air guide plate 200, a bottom plate 300, a sliding shell 170, a transmission module 180, a driven member 600, a track slide bar 140, a central shaft 150, a driving chute 160, a driving slide bar 210, a driving shaft 220, and a driving member 250; wherein, the housing 100 is provided with an air outlet; the air guide plate 200 is disposed at the air outlet of the housing 100; a track slide bar 400 and an ejection slot 500 are provided on one side of the bottom plate 300, and one end of the ejection slot passes through the bottom plate 300; the sliding shell 170 slides in the ejection slot;

[0098] The transmission module 180 is disposed within the sliding housing 170 and is connected to the air deflector 200 ; the follower 600 is disposed on one side of the base plate 300 ; the track slider 140 is disposed on the side of the follower 600 facing the base plate 300 , and the track slider 140 slides within the track slot 400 ;

[0099] The central shaft 150 is disposed on the side of the driven member 600 facing the base plate 300 and is connected to the transmission module 180. The driving slot 160 is provided on the side of the driven member 600 facing away from the base plate 300. The driving slide 210 slides within the driving slot 160. The driving shaft 220 is parallel to and spaced apart from the driving slide 210 and is connected to the driving slide 210. The driving member 250 is used to drive the driving shaft 220 to rotate.

[0100] The driving member 250 drives the driving shaft 220 to rotate, and the driving shaft 220 drives the driving slide 210 to flip over. The moving direction of the driven member 600 is limited by the ejection slot, so that the driving member 250 drives the sliding shell 170 to partially extend out of the ejection slot. At this time, the sliding shell 170 drives the air guide plate 200 to extend; and the track slide 140 slides along the track of the track slot 400, so that the driving member 250 rotates with the central axis 150 as the axis. The rotation of the central axis 150 drives the air guide plate 200 to flip through the transmission module 180.

[0101] Through the above scheme, the central shaft 150 on the follower 600 is connected to the transmission module 180, which is disposed within the sliding housing 170 and slides within the ejection chute. Therefore, the movement direction of the follower 600 is the lengthwise direction of the ejection chute. When the driving slide 210 flips around the driving shaft 220, the sliding of the driving slide 210 within the driving chute 160 drives the follower 600 along the lengthwise direction of the ejection chute. This pushes the air deflector 200 to move, freeing it from obstructing the air outlet. Furthermore, the track slide 140 on the follower 600 slides within the track chute 400. The track of the track chute causes the driving member 250 to rotate around the central shaft 150. This rotation of the central shaft 150 is transmitted to the air deflector 200 via the transmission module 180, causing the air deflector 200 to flip and guide the air. This structure is stable and provides excellent blowing effects.

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

[0103] In some embodiments, the air deflector 200 is rotatably connected to the transmission module 180 , and the center line of the air deflector 200 is rotatably connected to the transmission module 180 .

[0104] Please refer to Figure 17 and Figure 18In some embodiments, the track slide 400 includes a track segment 401 and a first arc segment 403 that are interconnected. The length of the track segment 401 is aligned with the length of the ejection slot 500. The first arc segment 403 is located at the end of the track segment 401 that is closest to the air deflector 200. The radius of the first arc segment 403 is the same as the distance between the central axis 150 and the track slide 140. With this arrangement, when the track slide 140, connected to the follower 600, moves along the track segment 401, the central axis 150 on the follower 600 drives the sliding housing 170, the transmission module 180, and the air deflector 200 to move. At this point, only the air deflector 200 moves. When the track slider 140 moves to the junction of the first arc segment 403 and the track segment 401, the central axis 150 becomes collinear with the axis of the first arc segment 403. The track slider 140 continues to move along the first arc segment 403, and the follower 600 rotates about the central axis 150. This rotation of the central axis 150 drives the air deflector 200 to flip through the transmission module 180, achieving the function of first pushing out and then flipping the air deflector 200. The radius of the first arc segment 403 is the same as the distance between the central axis 150 and the track slider 140. This ensures that the central axis 150 only rotates while the track slider 140 slides in the first arc segment 403.

[0105] Please refer to Figure 17 and Figure 18 In some embodiments, the track segment 401 is located at one end of the ejection chute; the first arc segment 403 is located on one side of the ejection chute. A first connecting segment 402 is disposed between the track segment 401 and the first arc segment 403. The length of the first connecting segment 402 is the same as that of the track segment 401, that is, the first connecting segment 402 is parallel to the track segment 401. The two ends of the first connecting segment 402 are connected to the first arc segment 403 and the track segment 401, respectively. The first connecting segment 402 is located on the side of the ejection chute 500 close to the first arc segment 403, and the first connecting segment 402 connects the track segment 401 and the first arc segment 403. With the above solution, after passing through the track segment 401, the track slider 140 enters the first connecting segment 402. As the track slider 140 slides in the first connecting segment 402, the follower 600 continues to drive the air deflector 200 until it reaches the junction of the first connecting segment 402 and the first arc segment 403, where the central axis 150 and the axis of the first arc segment 403 are collinear. The track slider 140 continues to move along the first arc segment 403, at which point the follower 600 rotates about the central axis 150. The rotation of the central axis 150 drives the air deflector 200 to flip via the transmission module 180. The first connecting segment 402 increases the distance the air deflector 200 is pushed out.

[0106] Please refer to Figure 17 and Figure 18In some embodiments, the connection between the track segment 401 and the first connecting segment 402 is through an arc transition. The connection between the first connecting segment 402 and the first arc segment 403 is through an arc transition. Because the length directions of the track segment 401 and the first connecting segment 402 are not collinear, the track segment 401 and the first connecting segment 402 are connected through an arc transition. This improves the smoothness of the track slider 140 when sliding in the track slot 400. When the track slider 140 passes through the arc transition between the track segment 401 and the first connecting segment 402, because the track slider 140 changes from linear motion to curved motion, the follower 600 will rotate about the central axis 150 as the axis. At this time, the central axis 150 will drive the air deflector 200 to flip through the transmission module 180. However, because the arc transition between the track segment 401 and the first connecting segment 402 is very small, the air deflector 200 will only flip slightly.

[0107] Please refer to Figure 17 and Figure 18 In some embodiments, the centerline of the ejection chute is the central axis, and the track chute 400 further 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 solution, the driving member 250 reaches the central axis 150 for forward rotation or flipping, and the track slide 140 of the follower 600 enters the first connecting segment 402 or the second connecting segment 404, respectively. Therefore, the rotation direction of the follower 600 is different when in the first arc segment 403 and the second arc segment 405, respectively, and the flip direction of the air deflector 200 is different. This allows the flip direction of the air deflector 200 to be adjusted according to 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 shaft 150 and the track slider 140 , thereby ensuring that the central shaft 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 chute, and the distance between the central axis and the left and right sides of the ejection chute 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 bar 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 slider 140. The height of the track slider 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 of the driving chute 160 is perpendicular to the length of the ejection chute, and the driving slider 210 is located in the middle of the driving chute 160. The line connecting the driving slider 210 and the drive shaft 220 is perpendicular to the driving chute 160. When the driving member 250 drives the drive shaft 220 to rotate, the driving slider 210 flips and moves toward one end of the driving chute 160. At this time, due to the restriction of the ejection chute, it drives the follower 600 to move along the length of the ejection chute.

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

[0114] Please refer to Figures 11 to 16 In some embodiments, the air conditioner further includes a limit rod 230, which is located on the side of the drive shaft 220 away from the drive slide 210. The limit rod 230 is connected to the drive shaft 220 and the drive slide 210. A first stop bar 700 and a second stop bar 900 are provided on the side of the follower 600 facing 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 160. The first stop bar 700 and the second stop bar 900 are equidistant from the corresponding ends of the drive slide 160. The first stop bar 700 and the second stop bar 900 are used to abut the limit rod 230. A triangular structure is formed between the limit rod 230, the drive slide 210, and the central shaft 150. The drive slide 210 drives the follower 600 to move via the drive slide 160, and the track slide 140 moves within the track segment 401. According to the forward rotation or flipping of the drive shaft 220, the limit 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 limit rod 230 abuts against the corresponding first stop bar 700 or the second stop bar 900. At this time, the limit 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, 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, causing the air guide plate 200 to fail to operate normally.

[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 approaches the second connecting segment 404, and the second stop bar 900 approaches the first connecting segment 402. When the limiting rod 230 abuts and slides along the length of the first stop bar 700, the track slider 140 moves from the track segment 401 to the first connecting segment 402. When the limiting rod 230 abuts and slides along the length of the second stop bar 900, the track slider 140 moves from the track segment 401 to the second connecting segment 404.

[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 the first stop bar 700, it moves along the extension direction of the first stop bar 700, thereby making it easier for the track slider 140 to enter the first connecting section 402 from the track segment 401. When the limiting rod 230 contacts and abuts the second stop bar 900, it moves along the extension direction of the second stop bar 900, thereby making it easier for the track slider 140 to enter the second connecting section 404 from the track segment 401.

[0117] Please refer to Figures 11 to 16 In some embodiments, a first limiting groove 800 and a second limiting groove 110 are spaced apart on the side of the follower 600 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. The sidewall of the first limiting groove 800 away from the second stop bar 900 is flush with the first stop bar 700, and the sidewall 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 insert and slide 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, allowing the follower 600 to move along a predetermined direction, making it easier for the track slide bar 140 to enter the first connecting section 402 or the second connecting section 404 from the track section 401.

[0118] In some embodiments, ends of the first limiting groove 800 and the second limiting groove 110 are both connected to the outside 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 section 801, which is adjacent to the first stop bar 700 and extends in the same direction as the first stop bar 700. When the limiting rod 230 enters the first limiting section 801, it simultaneously contacts the outer circumferential wall of the first limiting section 801 and the inner circumferential wall of the first stop bar 700. The first limiting groove 800 further limits the movement direction of the limiting rod 230, thereby restricting the movement direction of the follower 600, thereby making it easier for the track slider 140 to enter the first connecting section 402 from the track section 401.

[0120] In some embodiments, the first limiting groove 800 further includes a second limiting section 802, and the first limiting section 801 and the second limiting section 802 are connected. The second limiting section 802 is inclined from a side away from the first limiting section 801 toward a direction away from the second stop bar 900. After passing through the first limiting section 801, the limiting rod 230 enters the second limiting section 802. The limiting rod 230 slides within the second limiting section 802 to prevent the limiting rod 230 from striking the follower 600, thereby improving the operational stability of the structure.

[0121] In some embodiments, the first limiting section 801 and the second limiting section 802 are connected by rounded corners, and the limiting rod 230 can smoothly enter the second limiting section 802 from the first limiting section 801 when sliding in the first limiting groove 800, avoiding jamming and improving the smoothness of the structure operation.

[0122] In some embodiments, the second limiting groove 110 includes a third limiting section 111, which is adjacent to the second stop bar 900 and extends in the same direction as the second stop bar 900. When the limiting rod 230 enters the third limiting section 111, it simultaneously contacts the outer circumferential wall of the third limiting section 111 and the inner circumferential wall of the second stop bar 900. The second limiting groove 110 further limits the movement direction of the limiting rod 230, thereby restricting the movement direction of the follower 600, making it easier for the track slider 140 to enter the first connecting section 402 from the track section 401.

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

[0124] In some embodiments, the third limiting section 111 and the fourth limiting section 112 are connected by rounded corners, and the limiting rod 230 can smoothly enter the fourth limiting section 112 from the third limiting section 111 when sliding in the second limiting groove 110, avoiding jamming and improving the smoothness of the structure operation.

[0125] In some embodiments, the second limiting segment 802 and the fourth limiting segment 112 pass through the driving sliding groove 160 .

[0126] Please refer to Figures 11 to 16 In some embodiments, the side of the follower 600 where the first limiting groove 800 is defined further includes a first avoidance groove 120 and a second avoidance groove 130. The first avoidance groove 120 and the second avoidance groove 130 allow the limiting rod 230 to pass through. When the track slider 140 is located in 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 disengages from the first limiting groove 800 or the second limiting groove 110, and the limiting rod 230 contacts the follower 600. Therefore, the provision of the first avoidance groove 120 and the second avoidance groove 130 allows the limiting rod 230 to slide through the first avoidance groove 120 and the second avoidance groove 130, thereby improving the stability of the structural operation.

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

[0128] Please refer to Figures 20 to 22 In some embodiments, the air conditioner further includes a first gear 190. The output shaft of the driving member 250 is connected to a second gear 240, and the second gear 240 meshes with the first gear 190. The limiting rod 230, the driving slide 210, and the driving shaft 220 are all disposed on the first gear 190, and the driving shaft 220 is coaxially disposed with the first gear 190. The driving 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 driving shaft 220.

[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 rod 210 and the drive shaft 220 are integrally formed to enhance the strength of the structure.

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

[0131] In some embodiments, the pitch circle diameter of the first gear 190 is larger than the pitch circle diameter of the second gear 240. This changes the reduction ratio between the first gear 190 and the second gear 240, thereby relatively improving the accuracy of the rotation angle of the first gear 190, thereby making the position of the driven member 600 more accurate and improving the stability of the structural 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 driving member 250 includes but is not limited to a motor, and is preferably a stepping motor.

[0134] In some embodiments, a middle plate is disposed on one side of the base plate 300 where the track groove 400 is located, and the driver 250 is removably mounted on the middle plate. A receiving cavity is formed between the middle plate and the base plate 300, and the follower 600, the sliding housing 170, the transmission module 180, and the driving slide rod 210 are all located within the receiving cavity.

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

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

[0137] In some embodiments, the driving member 250 is mounted on the mid-plate via threaded connectors, which include but are not limited to screws and bolts.

[0138] In some embodiments, the driving member 250 is snap-fitted to the middle plate. The driving member 250 is connected to the middle plate via a snap or buckle.

[0139] In some embodiments, the sliding shell 170 is long 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 chute, and when the follower 600 moves, the sliding shell 170 is driven by the central axis 150 to move along the length direction of the ejection chute.

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

[0141] In some embodiments, the axis of the second synchronization wheel 182 is collinear with the center line of the air guide plate 200 .

[0142] In some embodiments, the centerline of the air deflector 200 is aligned with the length of the air deflector 200; the centerline of the air deflector 200 is equidistant from both sides of the width of the air deflector 200; a plane reference plane perpendicular to the air deflector 200 is defined, with the centerline located within the reference plane; and the axis of the second synchronizing wheel 182 is located on the reference plane. This ensures that the axis of the air deflector 200 is equidistant from both sides of the air deflector 200 when the air deflector 200 is flipped, thereby ensuring that the two sides of the air deflector 200 do not interfere with the housing 100 when the air deflector 200 is flipped.

[0143] In some embodiments, the diameters of the first and second synchronous wheels 181, 182 are set as needed based on the required flipping speed and angle of the air deflector 200. When a faster flipping speed and angle are required for the air deflector 200, the diameter of the second synchronous wheel 182 is smaller than the diameter of the first synchronous wheel 181. When a slower flipping speed and angle are required for the air deflector 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 through the gear set.

[0145] In some embodiments, the connection between the second synchronization wheel 182 and the air deflector 200 is located at the center line of the air deflector 200 .

[0146] Please refer to Figure 22 and Figure 29 In some embodiments, because the air deflector 200 is first pushed out and then turned over in this application, in order to prevent the air deflector 200 rotating after being pushed out from interfering with the housing 100, the air deflector 200 needs to meet the following conditions:

[0147]

[0148] Wherein, L is the pushing distance of the air guide plate 200; W is the width of the air guide plate 200.

[0149] That is, the pushing distance of the air guide plate 200 is not less than half of the width of the air guide plate 200 , so the air guide plate 200 will not interfere with the housing 100 when rotating after being pushed out, thereby improving the stability of the structural 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 rod 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 pushing distance of the air guide plate 200 is not greater than the first distance plus 0.6 times the second distance;

[0152] That is, the following conditions are met:

[0153] 0.4R<D<2R

[0154] L≤D+0.6R

[0155] Wherein, 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 distance of the air deflector 200. This ensures that the air deflector 200 can still rotate effectively after being pushed out.

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

[0157] The push-out distance of the air guide plate 200 is greater than the third distance, and the push-out distance of the air guide plate 200 is greater than the fourth distance; this ensures that the axis of the air guide plate 200 is at the same distance from both sides of the air guide plate 200 when it is flipped, thereby ensuring that the two sides of the air guide plate 200 will not interfere with the shell 100 when it is flipped.

[0158] In some embodiments, an opening is formed in the middle of the middle plate, and the driving slide rod 210 on the first gear 190 can be placed in the accommodating cavity through the opening and inserted into and slide in the driving slide groove 160 .

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

[0160] In some embodiments, the bottom plate 300, the middle plate and the end caps are detachably connected to each other. The connection methods between the bottom plate 300, the middle plate and the end caps include but are not limited to snap fasteners, buckles, and threaded connectors.

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

[0162] In some embodiments, the air conditioner of the present application includes but is not limited to a wall-mounted air conditioner and a vertical air conditioner.

[0163] Please refer to Figure 23 and Figure 24 The present application utilizes the above-mentioned content, with the driving member 250 driving the second gear 240 to rotate. The second gear 240 meshes with the first gear 190, driving the first gear 190 to rotate about the drive shaft 220. The first gear 190 simultaneously drives the drive slide 210 and the limit rod 230 to rotate about the drive shaft 220 through a connecting rod. Because the central shaft 150 on the follower 600 is connected to the transmission module 180, and the transmission module 180 is disposed within the sliding housing 170, and the sliding housing 170 slides within the ejection chute, the follower 600 only moves along the length of the ejection chute. As the drive slide 210 slides within the drive chute 160, the follower 600 is pulled, and the track slide 140 on the follower 600 slides within the track segment 401. At the same time, the air deflector 200 connected to the transmission module 180 is ejected.

[0164] Please refer to Figure 25 and Figure 26When the track slide 140 moves to the junction of 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 the corresponding first stop bar 700 or second stop bar 900, thereby being restrained by the corresponding first stop bar 700 or second stop bar 900. The follower 600 continues to move under the action of the driving slide 210 and the driving slide 160, and the track segment 401 enters 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 axis 150 on the follower 600 will rotate at a small angle, and the transmission module 180 will transmit the rotation of the central axis 150 to the air guide plate 200. Therefore, when the track slide 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 When the track slide bar 140 moves in the corresponding first connecting section 402 or the 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 shaft 150 is coaxial with the axes of the first and second arc segments 403 and 405. The follower 600 continues to move under the action of the drive slider 210 and the drive slot 160. The central shaft 150 slides within the corresponding first and second arc segments 403 and 405. At this time, the follower 600 rotates only about the central shaft 150. The rotation of the central shaft 150 is transmitted to the first synchronous wheel 181. The first synchronous wheel 181 drives the second synchronous wheel 182 to rotate via the synchronous belt 183. The second synchronous wheel 182 drives the air deflector 200 to flip, achieving the flip of the air deflector 200. This achieves the function of the air deflector 200 being first pushed out and then rotated.

[0167] The forward or reverse rotation of the driver 250 changes the movement direction of the limit rod 230. Specifically, whether the limit rod 230 approaches the first stop bar 700 or the second stop bar 900 is determined by the forward or reverse rotation of the driver 250's output shaft. The contact between the limit rod 230 and the first stop bar 700 or the second stop bar 900 determines whether the track slider 140 enters the first connecting section 402 or the second connecting section 404. When the track slider 140 slides within the first arc segment 403 or the second arc segment 405, the central shaft 150 on the follower 600 rotates in opposite directions because the first and second arc segments 403 and 405 have different arc orientations. The rotation direction of the central shaft 150 corresponds to the rotation direction of the air deflector 200. Therefore, the flipping direction of the air deflector 200 can be changed by changing the forward or reverse rotation of the driver 250's output shaft.

[0168] The air conditioner controls the rotation direction and rotation angle of the output shaft of the driving member 250 according to different modes, thereby controlling 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, with a housing 100 designed to be mounted on a wall. An indoor heat exchanger and a heat exchange fan are disposed within the housing 100. The indoor heat exchanger is used to heat the air passing through it; the heat exchange fan is used to transfer airflow through the indoor heat exchanger for heat exchange, and then output the airflow to the indoor room through an air outlet. The length of the indoor heat exchanger is aligned with the length of the housing 100, and the heat exchange fan is disposed below the indoor heat exchanger. The air outlet is disposed at the lower front side of the housing 100, and a return air outlet is also provided at the top of the housing 100. The heat exchange fan rotates to allow air to enter the housing 100 through the return air outlet, where it is heated by the indoor heat exchanger and then output to the indoor room through the air outlet.

[0170] In some embodiments, the air conditioner is a vertical air conditioner, with the housing 100 disposed vertically along its length. The housing 100 is placed on the ground, and an indoor heat exchanger and a heat exchange fan are disposed within the housing 100. The length of the indoor heat exchanger is the same as that of the housing 100. The heat exchange fan is disposed in front of the indoor heat exchanger, and an air outlet is provided on the front side of the housing 100 near the heat exchange fan. The heat exchange fan rotates to allow air to enter the housing 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 provided at the air outlet of the housing 100; a track chute 400 and a push-out chute are provided on one side of the bottom plate 300, one end of the push-out chute passes through the bottom plate 300; the sliding housing 170 slides in the push-out chute;

[0173] The transmission module 180 is disposed within the sliding housing 170 and is connected to the air deflector 200. The follower 600 is disposed on one side of the base plate 300 and is connected to the transmission module 180. The track slider 140 is disposed on the side of the follower 600 facing the base plate 300 and slides within the track slot 400.

[0174] The driving module is used to drive the follower 600 to move, so that the track slide bar 140 slides along the track of the track slide groove 400, thereby driving the wind deflector 200 to move a distance first and then flip through the follower 600 through the transmission module 180.

[0175] In some embodiments, the driving module includes a track slider 140, a central shaft 150, a driving slider 210, a driving shaft 220, and a driving member 250, wherein the track slider 140 is disposed on a side of the follower 600 facing the base plate 300, and the track slider 140 slides in the track slot 400;

[0176] The central shaft 150 is arranged 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; the driving slide 210 slides in the driving slide groove 160; the driving shaft 220 is parallel to the driving slide 210 and is arranged at intervals, and the driving shaft 220 is connected to the driving slide 210; the driving member 250 is used to drive the driving shaft 220 to rotate.

[0177] Through the above scheme, the central shaft 150 on the follower 600 is connected to the transmission module 180, which is disposed within the sliding housing 170 and slides within the ejection chute. Therefore, the movement direction of the follower 600 is the lengthwise direction of the ejection chute. When the driving slide 210 flips around the driving shaft 220, the sliding of the driving slide 210 within the driving chute 160 drives the follower 600 along the lengthwise direction of the ejection chute. This pushes the air deflector 200 to move, freeing it from obstructing the air outlet. Furthermore, the track slide 140 on the follower 600 slides within the track chute 400. The track of the track chute causes the driver 250 to rotate around the central shaft 150. This rotation of the central shaft 150 is then transmitted to the air deflector 200 via the transmission module 180, causing the air deflector 200 to flip and guide the air.

The track rail includes a track segment 401 and a first arc segment 403 that are interconnected. The length direction of the track 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 track segment 401 that is close to the wind deflector 200.

[0183] When the drive module drives the follower 600 and the track slider to move along the track segment 401, the follower 600 drives the sliding housing 170, the transmission module 180, and the air deflector 200 to move, causing the air deflector 200 to extend. When the track slider moves along the first arc segment 403, the follower 600 drives the air deflector 200 to flip through the transmission module 180.
