Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of air conditioners, and in particular to an air guide structure and an air conditioner having the same. Background Art

[0002] At present, as a device for regulating ambient temperature, the comfort of air conditioner during use determines the quality of the product to a certain extent, and the air guide plate at the air outlet of the air conditioner has an important influence on the comfort of air outlet by controlling the air outlet.

[0003] Current air conditioners have single air guides, large air guides, double air guides, and hollow air guides, with various designs, aiming to optimize the air supply experience through different forms. Single air guides increase air volume by reducing wind resistance, achieving efficient cooling; large air guides increase air guide distance and expand circulation range by using wall-attached circulation, suitable for scenarios where the temperature of a large space needs to be adjusted quickly; double air guides and hollow air guides make the wind feel softer by dividing the wind and reducing resistance, improving the comfort of local areas. These air guide designs have their own advantages and disadvantages. Although single air guides and large air guides can enhance cooling efficiency and coverage, they may reduce comfort due to strong wind force; while double air guides and hollow air guides can provide a soft wind feeling, they increase wind resistance, reducing air supply distance and heat exchange efficiency.

[0004] However, the air guide plates of air conditioners in the prior art have a single and fixed shape, and different air guide plates can only be used in one model. Users are forced to choose one of the shapes, which makes it impossible to meet the different needs of users in different usage environments. When purchasing an air conditioner, users must make a single choice between efficient cooling, long-distance air supply, and comfortable wind feeling, and cannot take into account the needs of different scenarios. When large-scale rapid cooling is required, users may choose an air conditioner with a large air guide plate, but when a soft wind feeling is needed at certain moments, the existing fixed-shape air guide plate cannot provide the corresponding experience. This limitation restricts the full performance of the air conditioner and affects the user's satisfaction. Summary of the invention

[0039] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present application can be combined with each other. The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with the embodiments.

[0040] In order to solve the problem that the air guide plate of the air conditioner in the prior art cannot meet the different needs of users in different usage environments, the present invention provides an air guide structure and an air conditioner having the same.

[0041] Please refer to Figures 1 to 12 As shown, one aspect of the present invention provides an air guide structure, including a bracket assembly 10, a first air guide plate 20, a second air guide plate 30 and a control assembly 40; the bracket assembly 10 is rotatably arranged at the air outlet of the air conditioner; the first air guide plate 20 is connected to the bracket assembly 10; the second air guide plate 30 is movably connected to the bracket assembly 10, and the second air guide plate 30 respectively has a single air guide form that is arranged in upper and lower contact with the first air guide plate 20, a double air guide form that is arranged parallel to the first air guide plate 20, and a large air guide form that is in the same plane as the first air guide plate 20 and in contact with each other; the control assembly 40 is arranged on the bracket assembly 10 and connected to the second air guide plate 30, so as to control the second air guide plate 30 to switch between the single air guide form, the double air guide form and the large air guide form.

[0042] According to one aspect of the technical solution of the present invention, the second air guide plate 30 can be converted between three different forms, which can adapt to the needs of users in different use environments, such as rapid cooling, gentle air supply or large-scale air supply, thereby improving the flexibility of use of the air conditioner and the user experience, and thus solving the problem that the air guide plate of the air conditioner in the prior art cannot meet the different needs of users in different use environments. In the single air guide form, the second air guide plate 30 fits with the first air guide plate 20, reducing wind resistance, thereby improving the refrigeration efficiency and air supply distance of the air conditioner, and is suitable for environments that require rapid cooling. In the double air guide form, by dispersing the air volume, the wind speed directly blowing toward the human body can be reduced, providing a softer and more natural wind feeling, and improving the comfort of air supply of the air conditioner. In the large air guide form, the second air guide plate 30 and the first air guide plate 20 are in the same plane and contact each other to form a large air guide plate, using the wall circulation effect to expand the circulation range, and improve the refrigeration effect and coverage of the air conditioner in a large space.

[0043] It can be seen that the present application breaks the constraints of the prior art and realizes the free switching of the air guide plate form to adapt to the changing use environment and provide more personalized and comprehensive air supply comfort. By designing a convertible air guide plate structure, the present invention can flexibly switch between a single air guide plate, a large air guide plate, a double air guide plate and a hollow air guide plate, thereby ensuring the cooling efficiency while also providing a soft and natural wind feeling, meeting the needs of users under different conditions and improving the overall use experience.

[0044] Specifically, the bracket assembly 10 includes a first bracket 11 and a second bracket 12 that are arranged opposite to each other. The two ends of the first air guide plate 20 are connected to the first bracket 11 and the second bracket 12 respectively; the two ends of the second air guide plate 30 are correspondingly connected to the first bracket 11 and the second bracket 12 in a relatively movably manner. The above arrangement can provide stable support for the first air guide plate 20 and the second air guide plate 30, ensuring that the second air guide plate 30 maintains structural stability and reliability during various form switching processes. The second air guide plate 30 can be easily removed from the bracket assembly 10 when maintenance or adjustment is required, which reduces the difficulty and cost of maintenance and also facilitates the cleaning and inspection of the air guide plate.

[0045] In this embodiment, a motor connection hole is provided on the second bracket 12 for connecting with a stepper motor, so that the stepper motor can drive the second bracket 12 to rotate, thereby controlling the air guide structure to rotate at the air outlet of the air conditioner.

[0046] It should be noted that in the present application, the two ends of the first air guide plate 20 can be fixedly connected to the first bracket 11 and the second bracket 12 respectively, or can be rotatably connected to the first bracket 11 and the second bracket 12 respectively. When rotatably connected, the second air guide plate 30 needs to be arranged parallel to the first air guide plate 20.

[0047] like Figures 2 to 7 As shown, the control assembly 40 includes a form switching component 41, which is rotatably arranged on the first bracket 11 and connected to the first end of the connecting shaft of the second air guide plate 30, so as to drive the position of the second air guide plate 30 to move relative to the first air guide plate 20, so that the second air guide plate 30 can be switched between the single air guide form, the double air guide form and the large air guide form. Through the above arrangement, the switching of the second air guide plate 30 between the single air guide form, the double air guide form and the large air guide form can be accurately controlled, ensuring that the position of the air guide plate is accurate during each conversion, thereby improving the flexibility and controllability of the air guide structure.

[0048] In this embodiment, when the end of the connecting shaft of the form switching component 41 and the second air guide plate 30 is interconnected at one end in the first mounting hole 110 along its extension direction, the second air guide plate 30 and the first air guide plate 20 are arranged to be fitted together up and down in a single wind guide form; when the end of the connecting shaft of the form switching component 41 and the second air guide plate 30 is interconnected in the middle of the first mounting hole 110, the second air guide plate 30 and the first air guide plate 20 are arranged parallel to each other in a double wind guide form; when the end of the connecting shaft of the form switching component 41 and the second air guide plate 30 is interconnected at the other end in the first mounting hole 110 along its extension direction, the second air guide plate 30 and the first air guide plate 20 are in the same plane and contact each other to form a large air guide plate, and thus a large wind guide form.

[0049] Specifically, the first bracket 11 is provided with a first mounting hole 110, and the first end of the connecting shaft of the second air guide plate 30 is inserted into the first mounting hole 110 and connected to the form switching component 41; wherein the first mounting hole 110 is an arc hole; or the first mounting hole 110 includes a plurality of irregular arc hole segments that are interconnected. In this way, the second air guide plate 30 is movably arranged along the extension direction of the first mounting hole 110. By connecting the connecting shaft on the second air guide plate 30 with the form switching component 41 in the first mounting hole 110, the position and angle of the second air guide plate 30 can be precisely controlled to ensure that the air guide plate switches between different forms accurately, thereby ensuring the precise conversion of the air supply mode.

[0050] In this embodiment, the first mounting hole 110 is an arc-shaped hole. In this way, the connecting shaft of the second air guide plate 30 is allowed to move smoothly in an arc shape in the hole, so that the conversion between different forms of the second air guide plate 30 is smoother and continuous, avoiding sudden displacement or jamming, and improving the overall stability and reliability. At the same time, the trajectory of the arc-shaped hole matches the movement trajectory that the second air guide plate 30 needs to move, and can accurately control the movement path of the second air guide plate 30 between the single air guide form, the double air guide form and the large air guide form, ensuring that the movement trajectory of the second air guide plate 30 meets expectations and improves the control accuracy.

[0051] Optionally, the first mounting hole 110 includes a plurality of irregular arc-shaped hole segments that are interconnected. It should be noted that the arc-shaped hole segment is a non-circular arc, and irregular means that the length and direction of each arc-shaped hole segment can be selectively set. In this way, a variety of different motion trajectories can be preset, so that the second air guide plate 30 can achieve more accurate multi-mode switching, including but not limited to the conversion between a single air guide form, a double air guide form and a large air guide form, and even more intermediate forms can be introduced to meet more complex and diverse user needs. At the same time, a larger range of activities of the second air guide plate 30 is provided, and the flexibility of the air guide structure is enhanced, so that the air conditioner can be quickly adjusted between a wider range of air supply modes to meet the air supply requirements in different environments.

[0052] like Figure 7 and Fig.11 As shown, the form switching component 41 includes a crank 410 and a telescopic rod 411; the crank 410 is rotatably connected to the first bracket 11, and one end of the crank 410 has a connecting protrusion 4101; one end of the telescopic rod 411 has a connecting recess 4110, and the connecting protrusion 4101 extends into the connecting recess 4110 and is connected in a mutually cooperative manner, and the other end of the telescopic rod 411 is movably connected to the first end of the connecting shaft of the second air guide plate 30 that passes through the first mounting hole 110. Among them, the crank 410 is provided with an axis groove, and the first bracket 11 is provided with a mounting shaft, and the mounting shaft is passed through the axis groove, so that the crank 410 is rotatably arranged relative to the first bracket 11. Through the above arrangement, the crank 410 and the telescopic rod 411 can adapt to the track changes of different first mounting holes 110. When the crank 410 rotates, it can drive the telescopic rod 411 to extend and retract, thereby controlling the position change of the second air guide plate 30 in the first mounting hole 110, realizing the controllable switching of the second air guide plate 30 between different forms, ensuring the accurate realization of each air guide form, and improving the controllability and comfort of air supply. At the same time, the connection method of the crank 410 and the telescopic rod 411 simplifies the installation and maintenance between the form switching component 41 and the second air guide plate 30, because the telescopic rod 411 can move linearly relative to the crank 410, which is convenient for disassembly and repositioning, while reducing failures caused by improper installation.

[0053] In this embodiment, a sleeve matching hole is provided on the end of the telescopic rod 411 away from the crank 410, and a limiting sleeve is sleeved on the first end of the connecting shaft of the second air guide plate 30. The limiting sleeve is rotatably mounted on the sleeve matching hole of the telescopic rod 411, thereby preventing the limiting sleeve from driving the air guide plate to rotate when the telescopic rod 411 rotates.

[0054] Specifically, the form switching component 41 also includes a driving component, which is arranged on the crank 410 and is connected to the crank 410 for driving the crank 410 to rotate so as to drive the second air guide plate 30 to switch its form. The driving component is a stepper motor, and the crank 410 is provided with a motor connection hole, and the output shaft of the stepper motor is connected to the crank 410 through the motor connection hole to drive the crank 410 to rotate. In this way, the form switching process of the second air guide plate 30 can be automated without manual operation, which improves the intelligence level of the air conditioner. The user can easily select different air supply modes through a remote control or an intelligent control system, which enhances the convenience of use. It avoids the need for the user to frequently contact the air conditioner when adjusting the form of the air guide plate, reduces the complexity and physical exertion of the operation, and also reduces the risk of equipment damage caused by improper operation.

[0055] like Figures 2 to 5 , Figure 8 and Fig. 9 As shown, the control assembly 40 includes a direction control component 42, which is movably disposed on the second bracket 12 and connected to the second end of the connecting shaft of the second air guide plate 30, so as to control the second air guide plate 30 to be arranged parallel to the first air guide plate 20 during the form switching process. In this way, it is ensured that the second air guide plate 30 always remains parallel to the first air guide plate 20 during the form switching process, and the second air guide plate 30 is prevented from deviating or tilting during the switching process, thereby maintaining the stability of the air supply direction and improving the air supply efficiency and comfort. It can be seen that the form switching component 41 is mainly responsible for providing the power required for switching the second air guide plate 30, while the direction control component 42 plays an auxiliary role, ensuring that the air guide direction of the second air guide plate 30 is controlled under the action of power and moves according to a predetermined trajectory. The two work together to ensure the efficient operation of the air guide structure.

[0056] Specifically, the second bracket 12 is provided with a second mounting hole 120, and the second end of the connecting shaft of the second air guide plate 30 is inserted into the second mounting hole 120 and connected to the direction control component 42; wherein the second mounting hole 120 is an arc hole; or the second mounting hole 120 includes a plurality of irregular arc hole segments that are interconnected. The above arrangement enables the second air guide plate 30 to be movably arranged along the extension direction of the second mounting hole 120. By connecting the connecting shaft on the second air guide plate 30 with the direction control component 42 in the second mounting hole 120, the position and angle of the second air guide plate 30 can be precisely controlled, ensuring that the air guide plate switches between different forms accurately, and ensuring the precise conversion of the air supply mode.

[0057] In this embodiment, the second mounting hole 120 is an arc-shaped hole. In this way, the connecting shaft of the second air guide plate 30 is allowed to move smoothly in an arc shape in the hole, so that the conversion between different forms of the second air guide plate 30 is smoother and continuous, avoiding sudden displacement or jamming, and improving the overall stability and reliability. At the same time, the trajectory of the arc-shaped hole matches the movement trajectory that the second air guide plate 30 needs to move, and can accurately control the movement path of the second air guide plate 30 between the single air guide form, the double air guide form and the large air guide form, ensuring that the movement trajectory of the second air guide plate 30 meets expectations and improves the control accuracy.

[0058] Optionally, the second mounting holes 120 each include a plurality of irregular arc-shaped hole segments that are interconnected. It should be noted that the arc-shaped hole segments are non-circular arcs, and irregular means that the length and direction of each arc-shaped hole segment can be selectively set. In this way, a variety of different motion trajectories can be preset, so that the second air guide plate 30 can achieve more accurate multi-mode switching, including but not limited to the conversion between a single air guide form, a double air guide form and a large air guide form, and even more intermediate forms can be introduced to meet more complex and diverse user needs. At the same time, a larger range of activities of the second air guide plate 30 is provided, and the flexibility of the air guide structure is enhanced, so that the air conditioner can be quickly adjusted between a wider range of air supply modes to meet the air supply requirements in different environments.

[0059] like Figure 8 , Fig.10 and Fig.12As shown, the direction control component 42 includes a control rod 420 and a sliding member; the sliding member 421 is inserted into the control rod 420 and is movably arranged along the extension direction of the control rod 420, and a limiting groove 4210 is provided on the sliding member 421. A limiting portion 31 is provided on the second end of the connecting shaft of the second air guide plate 30, and the limiting portion 31 passes through the second mounting hole 120 and is matched and connected with the limiting groove 4210, so that the second air guide plate 30 is arranged parallel to the first air guide plate 20 during the form switching process. Among them, a through hole is provided on the sliding member, so that the control rod 420 is inserted into the sliding member through the through hole. Through the above arrangement, accurate control of the installation direction of the second air guide plate 30 is provided, ensuring that the second air guide plate 30 can maintain parallel movement with the first air guide plate 20 when the form switching is performed, which helps to achieve a uniform air supply effect and avoids air flow turbulence caused by non-parallel movement between the air guide plates. Furthermore, the movability of the slider 421 on the control rod 420 enables the slider to follow the movement of the second air guide plate 30 and maintain its parallel state with the first air guide plate 20 during the shape switching process of the second air guide plate 30. Even in complex air guide modes, good parallelism and stability can be maintained, thereby improving the flexibility and adaptability of the air guide structure.

[0060] In this embodiment, the limiting portion 31 is rectangular, and the limiting groove 4210 is a rectangular groove.

[0061] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the structure of the limit portion 31 can also be designed as other limit forms according to different usage requirements and actual working conditions. As long as the rotation of the movable guide plate can be limited, the limit groove 4210 is set corresponding to the structure of the limit portion 31.

[0062] Specifically, the second bracket 12 is provided with a guide hole 121, and one end of the control rod 420 is provided with a mounting block 422, and the mounting block 422 is provided with a mounting protrusion 4220, and the mounting protrusion 4220 is penetrated in the guide hole 121 and is movably arranged along the extension direction of the guide hole 121. With the above arrangement, when the connecting shaft of the second air guide plate 30 moves in the first mounting hole 110 and the second mounting hole 120 respectively to switch the form, the mounting protrusion 4220 of the mounting block 422 on the control rod 420 moves in the guide hole 121, and the sliding member slides on the control rod 420 along the extension direction of the control rod 420, so that the second air guide plate 30 always remains parallel to the first air guide plate 20 during the form switching process. In this way, the guide hole 121 provides precise guidance for the movement of the control rod 420, ensuring that the control rod 420 can move smoothly along a predetermined trajectory when the sliding member follows the movement of the second air guide plate 30, so as to support the sliding member. This helps to maintain the stability and accuracy of the second air guide plate 30 when switching the form, and avoids the problem of inaccurate movement of the air guide plate that may be caused by the deviation of the control rod 420.

[0063] According to another aspect of the present invention, an air conditioner is provided, comprising a housing 1 and the above-mentioned air guide structure, wherein the air guide structure is arranged at the air outlet on the housing 1. In this way, due to the adoption of the above-mentioned switchable air guide structure, the user can select the most suitable air supply mode according to actual needs and usage scenarios, such as room size, number of people, temperature changes, etc., thereby realizing personalized air supply and improving the comfort and satisfaction of use. For example, in a scenario where rapid cooling is required, a large air guide mode can be selected to increase the air supply distance and range, while in an environment where gentle air supply is required, a double air guide or hollow air guide mode can be switched to reduce wind resistance and improve the cooling or heating efficiency of the air conditioner.

[0064] In the present application, during the specific implementation, the crank 410 is controlled to rotate by the driving component, and then the crank 410 drives the telescopic rod 411 to rotate, and the limiting sleeve follows the rotation in the sleeve matching hole. Since the first end of the connecting shaft of the second air guide plate 30 passes through the first mounting hole 110 on the first bracket 11 and cooperates with the limiting sleeve, the second air guide plate 30 will also move with the rotation of the crank 410. At this time, at the second end of the connecting shaft of the second air guide plate 30, since the limiting portion 31 on the second end of the connecting shaft of the second air guide plate 30 cooperates with the limiting groove 4210 on the sliding member, the rotational movement of the second air guide plate 30 is limited by the sliding member, and the sliding member cooperates with the control rod 420, so that the movement of the sliding member is controlled by the control rod 420, and the mounting protrusion 4220 of the mounting block 422 on the control rod 420 cooperates with the guide hole 121 on the second bracket 12, so that the movement of the control rod 420 is limited by the guide hole 121, and the guide hole 121 is a strip hole, and the control rod 420 can only move left and right along the extension direction of the guide hole 121, so the sliding member can only move up and down along the extension direction of the control rod 420, and can also move left and right in the extension direction of the guide hole 121. Because the second end of the connecting shaft of the second air guide plate 30 is matched with the sliding member through the second mounting hole 120 on the second bracket 12, the sliding member can only move along the extension direction of the second mounting hole 120 and cannot rotate. Therefore, under the rotation of the crank 410, the second air guide plate 30 can move parallel to the first air guide plate 20 without changing its air guide direction, thereby changing the shape of the air guide plate. If the air guide directions of the first air guide plate 20 and the second air guide plate 30 are to be changed at the same time, it is necessary to control the rotation of the stepper motor connected to the second bracket 12. The motor connection hole is rotated under force, which will drive the second bracket 12 to rotate. Then, the rotation of the second bracket 12 will drive the first air guide plate 20, the second air guide plate 30 and the first bracket 11 to rotate, that is, the entire multi-form air guide structure will rotate together, thereby achieving a change in the air guide direction.

[0065] In the present application, the maximum angle of the first mounting hole 110 on the first bracket 11 is 175°, that is, the second air guide plate 30 can only move within a track range of 180°, but this angle is not unique and can be adjusted according to specific needs. This description is based on the corresponding description only for this data, and it is preset that when the second air guide plate 30 coincides with the basic air guide plate (that is, a single air guide plate is formed), its position is 0 degrees; the maximum angle of the wind guide direction is 125°, and this angle is also only for illustration, and its specific value can be adjusted according to actual needs.

[0066] Air deflector form switching control: When an air deflector form switching instruction is received, the corresponding action is performed. If an instruction for the single air deflector mode is received, the crank 410 is controlled to rotate 185° counterclockwise, and the rotation angle is 10° greater than the preset angle. Due to the structural limit, the second air deflector 30 returns to the initial position, i.e. 0°. At this time, the second air deflector 30 overlaps with the first air deflector 20 to form a single air deflector. If the instruction received is the large air deflector mode, the crank 410 is controlled to rotate 185° clockwise, with an interference run of 10°. Under the limit of the first mounting hole 110, the crank 410 is The handle 410 just moves to the maximum angle of the track of the first mounting hole 110. At this time, the second air guide plate 30 is just in the same plane as the first air guide plate 20 and connected to form a large air guide plate; and when the received instruction is the double air guide plate mode, the crank 410 is first controlled to rotate 185° counterclockwise to return it to the default position, and then rotated 90° clockwise to make the second air guide plate 30 run to the highest position of the arc segment track of the first mounting hole 110. At this time, the vertical distance between the second air guide plate 30 and the first air guide plate 20 is the largest and they are parallel to each other, forming a double air guide plate structure.

[0067] Air deflector direction control: There are two types of instructions for the direction of the air deflector, one is closing, and the other is a custom gear position for the air deflector. The custom gear position is divided into the first adjustment and non-first adjustment. If the received instruction is to close the air deflector, the bracket assembly 10 is controlled to rotate, and the air deflector rotates 135° counterclockwise, with an interference motion of 10°. At this time, the air deflector is in a closed position, that is, the default zero-degree position, and the degree of the air deflector position at this time is recorded as Ht; if the first instruction received after powering on is a custom gear position, the bracket assembly 10 is controlled to rotate, and the air deflector rotates 135° counterclockwise, and then the degree of the air deflector gear position is used as the target rotation degree Hg, and the second bracket 12 is rotated accordingly, and the position of the air deflector at this time is recorded as Ht. If the received instruction is not the first adjustment after power-on, the difference between the received target degree Hg and the current air guide plate position degree Ht is made, that is, △H=Hg-Ht, and the difference △H is used as the degree to which the bracket will rotate, where counterclockwise rotation is a negative number and clockwise rotation is a positive number. That is, if △H is not negative, the bracket rotates counterclockwise, and the current air guide plate position Ht=Hg is recorded at the same time to facilitate the next adjustment of the air guide plate.

[0068] From the above description, it can be seen that the above embodiments of the present invention achieve the following technical effects:

[0069] The air guide structure includes a bracket assembly 10, a first air guide plate 20, a second air guide plate 30 and a control assembly 40; the bracket assembly 10 is rotatably arranged at the air outlet of the air conditioner; the first air guide plate 20 is connected to the bracket assembly 10; the second air guide plate 30 is movably connected to the bracket assembly 10, and the second air guide plate 30 has a single air guide form arranged in a vertically aligned manner with the first air guide plate 20, a double air guide form arranged in parallel with the first air guide plate 20, and a large air guide form that is in the same plane and in contact with the first air guide plate 20; the control assembly 40 is arranged on the bracket assembly 10 and connected to the second air guide plate 30, so as to control the second air guide plate 30 to switch between the single air guide form, the double air guide form and the large air guide form. In this way, the second air guide plate 30 can be switched between the three different forms, which can adapt to the needs of users in different use environments, such as rapid cooling, soft air supply or large-range air supply, thereby improving the use flexibility and user experience of the air conditioner, thereby solving the problem that the air guide plate of the air conditioner in the prior art cannot meet the different needs of users in different use environments. In the single wind guide mode, the second wind guide plate 30 fits with the first wind guide plate 20, reducing wind resistance, thereby improving the refrigeration efficiency and air supply distance of the air conditioner, and is suitable for environments that require rapid cooling. In the double wind guide mode, by dispersing the air volume, the wind speed directly blowing toward the human body can be reduced, providing a softer and more natural wind feeling, and improving the comfort of air conditioning air supply. In the large wind guide mode, the second wind guide plate 30 and the first wind guide plate 20 are in the same plane and contact each other to form a large wind guide plate, using the wall circulation effect to expand the circulation range, and improve the refrigeration effect and coverage of the air conditioner in a large space. It can be seen that the present application breaks the constraints of the prior art, realizes the free switching of the wind guide plate form, so as to adapt to the changing use environment, and provide more personalized and comprehensive air supply comfort. By designing a convertible wind guide plate structure, the present invention can flexibly switch between a single wind guide plate, a large wind guide plate, a double wind guide plate and a hollow wind guide plate, so as to ensure the refrigeration efficiency while also providing a soft and natural wind feeling, meet the needs of users under different conditions, and improve the overall use experience.
