[0046] Reference below Figure 1-Figure 14 A method for controlling an air guide plate according to an embodiment of the present invention is described.

[0047] The air guide plate control method according to the embodiment of the present invention is used for the air conditioner 1000. Figure 1 and Figure 8As shown, the air conditioner 1000 includes a housing 300 and an air guide structure 100. The housing 300 has an air outlet 301. The air conditioner 1000 can blow out the heat-exchanged air from the air outlet 301 to adjust the indoor ambient temperature.

[0048] The air guide structure 100 includes a first air guide plate 1 and a second air guide plate 2, both of which are rotatably arranged at the air outlet 301. The first air guide plate 1 is located above the second air guide plate 2, and has a first state of being spliced ​​with each other to close the air outlet 301 and a second state of guiding air separately. That is, the air conditioner 1000 has an air outlet 301, and the first air guide plate 1 and the second air guide plate 2 that can rotatably guide air are arranged at the air outlet 301. When the first air guide plate 1 and the second air guide plate 2 are connected, the air outlet 301 is closed. When the air plate 2 is in the first state, the air outlet 301 can be closed, thereby preventing dust and other particles in the air from entering the housing 300 from the air outlet 301. It is understandable that after dust and other particles enter the interior of the housing 300, if they adhere to components such as the heat exchanger, they are likely to affect the heat exchange efficiency between the heat exchanger and the air, thereby affecting the performance of the air conditioner 1000. However, the present application only completes the closing action of the air outlet 301 by matching the first air guide plate 1 and the second air guide plate 2, and the structure is simple and easy to operate. Furthermore, the first air guide plate 1 and the second air guide plate 2 that can rotate to guide the air are set at the air outlet 301 of the present application. The air volume and air outlet direction at the air outlet 301 of the air conditioner 1000 can be adjusted more flexibly through the first air guide plate 1 and the second air guide plate 2, so that the actual needs of users can be more flexibly met and the user experience can be improved.

[0049] The air guide plate control method comprises: obtaining an air outlet mode instruction; synchronously controlling the first air guide plate 1 and the second air guide plate 2 according to the air outlet mode instruction; the first air guide plate 1 reciprocates within a first preset angle range, and the second air guide plate 2 reciprocates within a second preset angle range; wherein, when the first air guide plate 1 rotates in a direction away from the second air guide plate 2, the second air guide plate 2 rotates in a direction away from the first air guide plate 1; when the first air guide plate 1 rotates in a direction toward the second air guide plate 2, the second air guide plate 2 rotates in a direction toward the first air guide plate 1, that is, in the air conditioner 100 0 is turned on, when the corresponding air outlet mode is selected, the air conditioner 1000 can receive the corresponding air outlet mode instruction. At this time, the first air guide plate 1 and the second air guide plate 2 perform air guiding action synchronously and rotate at a predetermined angular velocity within a predetermined angle range. Through the coordinated air guiding of the first air guide plate 1 and the second air guide plate 2, the first air guide plate 1 and the second air guide plate 2 can flexibly adjust the air outlet volume and air outlet direction at the air outlet 301 of the air conditioner 1000, so as to more flexibly meet the actual needs of users and improve the user experience.

[0050] Furthermore, when the first air guide plate 1 and the second air guide plate 2 perform the air guiding action synchronously, since the actions of the first air guide plate 1 and the second air guide plate 2 when they rotate in the same direction or in opposite directions are synchronous, the air guiding cross-section between the first air guide plate 1 and the second air guide plate 2 can be regularly increased or decreased, and the first air guide plate 1 and the second air guide plate 2 reciprocate in such a cycle, and the first air guide plate 1 and the second air guide plate 2 open and close reciprocatingly, so that the air volume between the first air guide plate 1 and the second air guide plate 2 can achieve a pulsating wind field similar to a sine function, which can be helpful for coordinating and controlling the temperature in the entire space to make the temperature more uniform, and since the air volume is a pulsating wind field similar to a sine function, when blowing towards the user, the wind can be relatively gentle, thereby better improving the user experience.

[0051] Therefore, according to the air guide plate control method of the embodiment of the present invention, through the coordinated air guiding of the first air guide plate 1 and the second air guide plate 2, the air volume between the first air guide plate 1 and the second air guide plate 2 can achieve a pulsating wind field similar to a sine function, which can be beneficial for coordinating and controlling the temperature in the entire space, making the temperature more uniform and the wind more gentle, thereby better improving the user experience.

[0052] In some embodiments of the present invention, after obtaining the wind outlet mode instruction, it also includes controlling the first air guide plate 1 to rotate to the first initial position and controlling the second air guide plate 2 to rotate to the second initial position, so as to construct the largest air guide cross section between the first air guide plate 1 and the second air guide plate 2. That is to say, when the air conditioner 1000 is turned on, the air conditioner 1000 receives a start signal. At this time, the air conditioner 1000 can control the first air guide plate 1 to rotate to the first initial position and control the second air guide plate 2 to rotate to the second initial position. Here, it should be noted that the first air guide plate 1 and the second air guide plate 2 can act synchronously, or the first air guide plate 1 and the second air guide plate 2 can act asynchronously. For example, in the example where the first air guide plate 1 and the second air guide plate 2 can also act asynchronously, the first air guide plate 1 can rotate first and the second air guide plate 2 can rotate later, or the first air guide plate 1 can rotate later and the second air guide plate 2 can rotate first. This can be set according to actual needs without limitation.

[0053] It can be understood that by making the first air guide plate 1 and the second air guide plate 2 move synchronously, the action time of the first air guide plate 1 and the second air guide plate 2 can be reduced, so that the air conditioner 1000 can quickly control the first air guide plate 1 and the second air guide plate 2 to perform air guiding action after receiving the air outlet mode selected by the user.

[0054] Furthermore, the first air guide plate 1 is rotated to the first initial position and the second air guide plate 2 is controlled to rotate to the second initial position, so as to construct the largest air guide cross-section between the first air guide plate 1 and the second air guide plate 2, and then the first air guide plate 1 and the second air guide plate 2 are made to perform the air guiding action, which can avoid mutual interference between the first air guide plate 1 and the second air guide plate 2 when performing the air guiding action, and when the air conditioner 1000 discharges air, it first discharges air with the largest air outlet area, which can be beneficial for the air conditioner 1000 to circulate air with better operating efficiency during the initial operation, and can improve the operating efficiency of the air conditioner 1000 to a certain extent.

[0055] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figures 9 to 11 An example is shown, when the first air guide plate 1 rotates toward the direction of the second air guide plate 2, the second air guide plate 2 rotates toward the direction of the first air guide plate 1, including: the first air guide plate 1 at the first initial position rotates toward the second air guide plate 2 by a first preset angle, and the second air guide plate 2 at the second initial position rotates toward the first air guide plate 1 by a second preset angle, so as to construct a minimum air guide cross-section between the first air guide plate 1 and the second air guide plate 2. That is, when the first air guide plate 1 rotates to the first initial position, and the second air guide plate 2 rotates to the second initial position, there is a maximum air guide cross-section between the first air guide plate 1 and the second air guide plate 2. At this time, the air output of the air conditioner 1000 is the maximum. When the first air guide plate 1 at the first initial position rotates toward the second air guide plate 2 by a first preset angle, and the second air guide plate 2 at the second initial position rotates toward the first air guide plate 1 by a second preset angle, the first air guide plate 1 and the second air guide plate 2 do not close the air outlet 301, so that there is a minimum air guide cross-section between the first air guide plate 1 and the second air guide plate 2. A minimum air guide cross-section is constructed between the first air guide plate 1 and the second air guide plate 2. At this time, the air output of the air conditioner 1000 is the smallest. Thus, the air output of the air conditioner 1000 blown out between the first air guide plate 1 and the second air guide plate 2 gradually decreases from the maximum air output to the minimum air output, and then gradually increases from the minimum air output to the maximum air output, and repeats the cycle in sequence, so that the air conditioner 1000 constructs a pulsating wind field similar to a sine function. When the air conditioner 1000 blows wind in the form of a pulsating wind field toward the user, the wind force is relatively gentle, thereby being able to better improve the user experience.

[0056] In some embodiments of the present invention, the width of the first air guide plate 1 is greater than the width of the second air guide plate 2, and the air outlet mode instruction includes a first air outlet mode instruction and a second air outlet mode instruction. When obtaining the first air outlet mode instruction, refer to the attached Figure 12 to Figure 14 In one example shown in FIG. 1 , the first air guide plate 1 is rotated upward by a third preset angle to a first initial position, and the second air guide plate 2 is rotated downward by a fourth preset angle to a second initial position, so as to construct an air guide section for guiding air downward between the first air guide plate 1 and the second air guide plate 2; when obtaining the second air outlet mode instruction, refer to FIG. Figures 9 to 11In an example shown, the first air guide plate 1 and the second air guide plate 2 rotate in the same direction, wherein the first air guide plate 1 rotates through a fifth preset angle to a first initial position, and the second air guide plate 2 rotates through a sixth preset angle to a second initial position, so that the first air guide plate 1 is located below the second air guide plate 2, so as to construct an air guide section between the first air guide plate 1 and the second air guide plate 2 for guiding air upward.

[0057] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 8 , Fig. 9 , Fig.10 , Fig.11 In a specific example shown, the rotation axis of the first air guide plate 1 and the rotation axis of the second air guide plate 2 coincide with each other, and both the first air guide plate 1 and the second air guide plate 2 can rotate 360° around the rotation axis. Thus, in one example, the first air guide plate 1 can rotate upward and then downward in one direction around the rotation axis to rotate to a first initial position, and the second air guide plate 2 can rotate upward in one direction around the rotation axis to a second initial position. In another example, the first air guide plate 1 can rotate downward in another direction around the rotation axis to the first initial position, and the second air guide plate 2 can also rotate downward in another direction around the rotation axis and then rotate upward around the rotation axis to the second initial position.

[0058] Further, refer to Fig. 9 As shown, under the first air outlet mode instruction, an air guide section for guiding air downward is constructed between the first air guide plate 1 and the second air guide plate 2. At this time, the air guide section is the largest air guide section, and the air outlet volume is the largest. After that, refer to Fig.11 As shown, the first air guide plate 1 and the second air guide plate 2 rotate in the direction of approaching each other, so that the air guide cross-section gradually decreases, that is, the air output toward the bottom gradually decreases, and when the air guide cross-section reaches the minimum, the air output is the minimum. Then, the first air guide plate 1 and the second air guide plate 2 rotate in the direction of moving away from each other, so that the air guide cross-section gradually increases, and the air output also gradually increases accordingly. Finally, when the first air guide plate 1 and the second air guide plate 2 rotate to the state of maximum air guide cross-section, they cycle in sequence, thereby constructing a pulsating wind field for downward air output similar to a sine function, which can not only quickly adjust the temperature of the lower space where the user is located, but also because the air output is relatively soft, it is beneficial to improve the user experience. In addition, compared with setting a baffle and other windless solutions, the present application does not need to additionally add a windless adjustment structure, has low cost, high indoor temperature adjustment efficiency, greatly improves the user experience, and because there is no need to additionally add a windless adjustment structure, it is also beneficial to the aesthetics of the air conditioner 1000.

[0059] In some embodiments of the present invention, the first air guide plate 1 in the first initial position and the second air guide plate 2 in the second initial position rotate in a direction approaching each other, so that the sum of the angles of closing the air outlet 301 is the closing angle, and the sum of the first preset angle and the second preset angle is less than or equal to the closing angle. In one example, the sum of the first preset angle and the second preset angle may be less than the closing angle, thereby constructing a minimum air guide cross section between the first air guide plate 1 and the second air guide plate 2. It can be understood here that the size of the minimum air guide cross section can be set according to actual needs, and there is no limitation here. In another example, the sum of the first preset angle and the second preset angle may be equal to the closing angle, and there is no limitation here. Among them, it can be understood that when the first air guide plate 1 and the second air guide plate 2 rotate in a direction approaching each other so that the air guide cross-section between the first air guide plate 1 and the second air guide plate 2 gradually decreases, taking cooling as an example, the wind energy blown out from the air outlet 301 of the air conditioner 1000 and the air outlet volume blown out from between the first air guide plate 1 and the second air guide plate 2 gradually decreases. Therefore, the cold amount stored at the air outlet 301 of the air conditioner 1000 gradually increases, and when the air guide cross-section between the first air guide plate 1 and the second air guide plate 2 gradually increases, the wind blown out from between the first air guide plate 1 and the second air guide plate 2 is not only increased in air volume, but also in output cold amount. Therefore, not only the air volume of the air outlet is discharged in a pulsating wind field similar to a sine function, but also the output cold amount is output in a pulsating wind field similar to a sine function. Therefore, without affecting the user experience, the temperature regulation efficiency of the air conditioner 1000 inside the space is improved.

[0060] In some embodiments of the present invention, the first air guide plate 1 rotates at a first preset angular velocity within a first preset angle range, and the second air guide plate 2 rotates at a second preset angular velocity within a second preset angle range, wherein the angular velocity of the first air guide plate 1 when rotating is equal to the angular velocity of the second air guide plate 2 when rotating. Thus, the air volume output between the first air guide plate 1 and the second air guide plate 2 can be changed in a more regular manner, and when the angular velocity of the first air guide plate 1 when rotating is equal to the angular velocity of the second air guide plate 2 when rotating, the first preset angle at which the first air guide plate 1 rotates to guide the wind is equal to the second preset angle at which the second air guide plate 2 rotates to guide the wind, so that the first air guide plate 1 and the second air guide plate 2 can be controlled more conveniently, for example, by a linkage structure. Of course, the first air guide plate 1 and the second air guide plate 2 can also be controlled by two driving structures respectively, which is not limited here.

[0061] In some embodiments of the present invention, when the first air guide plate 1 and the second air guide plate 2 rotate towards each other, the first air guide plate 1 rotates at a third preset angular velocity, and the second air guide plate 2 rotates at a fourth preset angular velocity; when the first air guide plate 1 and the second air guide plate 2 rotate in opposite directions, the first air guide plate 1 rotates at a fifth preset angular velocity, and the second air guide plate 2 rotates at a sixth preset angular velocity. In one example, the third preset angular velocity is greater than the fourth preset angular velocity, thereby, the first preset angle at which the first air guide plate 1 rotates to guide the air is greater than the second preset angle at which the second air guide plate 2 rotates to guide the air; in one example, the third preset angular velocity is greater than the fifth preset angular velocity, thereby, the first air guide plate 1 rotates faster when it rotates toward the second air guide plate 2, and the first air guide plate 1 rotates slower in a direction away from the second air guide plate 2. Taking the cooling capacity as an example, when the first air guide plate 1 rotates toward the second air guide plate 2 at a faster angular velocity, more cooling capacity can be intercepted in the first air guide plate 1, and when the first air guide plate 1 rotates in a direction away from the second air guide plate 2 at a slower angular velocity, the cooling capacity intercepted by the first air guide plate 1 can be slowly exported, thereby making the air outlet of the air conditioner 1000 softer and improving the user experience. Of course, it can be understood that the above-mentioned setting of the angular velocity can also have other situations, which can be set according to actual needs, and are not limited here. For example, the fifth preset angular velocity is greater than the sixth preset angular velocity, and the fourth preset angular velocity is greater than the sixth preset angular velocity.

[0062] The present invention also provides an air conditioner 1000 .

[0063] The air conditioner 1000 according to the embodiment of the present invention includes a controller, and the controller is configured to be able to execute the air guide plate control method of the above embodiment, so that the air conditioner 1000 can discharge air more flexibly and with high air discharge efficiency.

[0064] In some embodiments of the present invention, the rotation axis of the first air guide plate 1 coincides with the rotation axis of the second air guide plate 2. Optionally, the first air guide plate 1 and the second air guide plate 2 are both suitable for 360° rotation around the rotation axis. Optionally, the width of the first air guide plate 1 is greater than the width of the second air guide plate 2. Optionally, the first air guide plate 1 and the second air guide plate 2 are both arc-shaped plates, and the openings of the arc-shaped plates face the air outlet 301.

[0065] Reference below Figure 1-Figure 7 A wind guide structure 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention is described.

[0066] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the air guide structure 100 includes a first air guide plate 1 and a second air guide plate 2. The first air guide plate 1 and the second air guide plate 2 both extend along the length direction of the air outlet and are rotatably arranged at the air outlet. The rotation axis of the first air guide plate 1 coincides with the rotation axis of the second air guide plate 2. The first air guide plate 1 and the second air guide plate 2 have a first state in which they are spliced ​​together to close the air outlet and a second state in which they guide air separately.

[0067] Reference Figure 1-Figure 7 A specific example is shown, the air guide structure 100 is used for an air conditioner, the air conditioner has an air outlet, the air guide structure 100 can be movably installed at the air outlet, and is used to guide the air blown out of the air conditioner from the air outlet. Specifically, the air conditioner is a wall-mounted air conditioner, the air outlet extends in the left and right directions, the first air guide plate 1 and the second air guide plate 2 also extend in the left and right directions, when the air guide structure 100 is in a closed state, the first air guide plate 1 is located on the upper side of the second air guide plate 2, the rotation axis of the first air guide plate 1 and the rotation axis of the second air guide plate 2 both extend in the left and right directions, the first air guide plate 1 can rotate around the rotation axis, and when rotating, it can guide the air blown out of the air outlet of the air conditioner toward the upper and lower directions, the second air guide plate 2 can rotate around the rotation axis, and when rotating, it can guide the air blown out of the air outlet of the air conditioner toward the upper and lower directions.

[0068] In an optional example, the first air guide plate 1 can rotate 360° around the rotation axis, and the second air guide plate 2 can also rotate 360° around the rotation axis. Thus, the rotation angles of the first air guide plate 1 and the second air guide plate 2 can be adjusted according to actual needs to achieve different wind guiding effects. In addition, the reciprocating rotation angle of the first air guide plate 1, the reciprocating rotation angle of the second air guide plate 2, the rotation speed of the first air guide plate 1, and the rotation speed of the second air guide plate 2 can be adjusted according to actual needs to achieve different wind guiding effects, which is highly flexible and practical.

[0069] In addition, the rotation axis of the first air guide plate 1 and the rotation axis of the second air guide plate 2 of the present application coincide with each other, and the structure is compact, the movement is flexible, and the air guiding effect is good.

[0070] According to the wind guide structure 100 of the embodiment of the present invention, by setting the first wind guide plate 1 and the second wind guide plate 2, and making the rotation axis of the first wind guide plate 1 coincide with the rotation axis of the second wind guide plate 2, not only the wind guide structure 100 is more compact and flexible, but also the first wind guide plate 1 and the second wind guide plate 2 can be better controlled according to actual needs, thereby achieving different wind guiding effects.

[0071] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1As shown, the air guide structure 100 further includes a shutter assembly 3, which includes a plurality of shutters 31 and a first transmission rod 32. The plurality of shutters 31 are spaced apart along the length direction of the first air guide plate 1 and are all rotatably mounted on the first air guide plate 1. The first transmission rod 32 extends along the length direction of the first air guide plate 1 and is transmission-connected to the plurality of shutters 31. Figure 1 In a specific embodiment shown in the figure, the width of the first air guide plate 1 is greater than the width of the second air guide plate 2, and multiple louvers 31 can be rotatably mounted on the first air guide plate 1. Thus, when the first air guide plate 1 rotates to a certain position to guide the air, or the first air guide plate 1 guides the air while reciprocating within a certain angle range, the louver assembly 3 can further guide the air through multiple louvers 31, thereby achieving more air guiding performance.

[0072] In a specific example, the plurality of shutters 31 may swing in the left-right direction under the transmission action of the first transmission rod 32 .

[0073] In an optional example, the shutter assembly 3 may also be installed on the second air guide plate 2, or the shutter assembly 3 may be installed on both the first air guide plate 1 and the second air guide plate 2, which is not limited here.

[0074] Alternatively, if Figure 1 As shown, the width of the first air guide plate 1 is greater than that of the second air guide plate 2, so that the louver assembly 3 is only installed on the first air guide plate 1, which can meet the requirements of the assembly position of the louver assembly 3. In addition, the wind guiding capacity of the first air guide plate 1 with a wider width is better than that of the second air guide plate 2 with a narrower width. Further installing the louver assembly 3 on the first air guide plate 1 with stronger wind guiding capacity can further optimize the wind guiding capacity of the first air guide plate 1. For example, the first air guide plate 1 can guide the air in the up and down directions, and the louver assembly 3 can guide the air in the left and right directions. Therefore, through the cooperation of the first air guide plate 1 and the louver assembly 3, the air can be guided more flexibly.

[0075] In some embodiments of the present invention, the air guide structure 100 further includes a driving assembly, which is in transmission connection with the first air guide plate 1, the second air guide plate 2 and the first transmission rod 32 to drive the first air guide plate 1, the second air guide plate 2 and the louver 31 to rotate.

[0076] In a specific example, the driving component can simultaneously drive the first air guide plate 1, the second air guide plate 2 and the louver 31 to rotate. In another specific example, the driving component can also drive the first air guide plate 1, the second air guide plate 2 and the louver 31 separately, that is, the first air guide plate 1, the second air guide plate 2 and the louver 31 can all move independently without affecting each other.

[0077] Reference Figure 1, Figure 3 In a specific example shown, the driving assembly includes a first driving member 41, a second driving member 42 and a third driving member 43. The first driving member 41 is connected to the first air guide plate 1 by transmission, and the first driving member 41 is located at one end of the length direction of the first air guide plate 1. The second driving member 42 is connected to the second air guide plate 2 by transmission, and the second driving member 42 is located at one end of the length direction of the second air guide plate 2 away from the first driving member 41. The third driving member 43 is connected to the first transmission rod 32 by transmission, and the third driving member 43 is located at the other end of the length direction of the first air guide plate 1. That is to say, in this example, the first driving member 41 can independently drive the first air guide plate 1 to rotate, the second driving member 42 can independently drive the second air guide plate 2 to rotate, and the third driving member 43 can independently drive the louver 31 to rotate, thereby, the first air guide plate 1, the second air guide plate 2 and the louver 31 can move independently without affecting each other, so that the air guide structure 100 has a more flexible air guide performance.

[0078] In addition, regarding the layout of the first driving member 41, the second driving member 42 and the third driving member 43, firstly, the first driving member 41 and the second driving member 42 are respectively located on the left and right sides of the first air guide plate 1, so that the first driving member 41 and the second driving member 42 can better drive the first air guide plate 1 and the second air guide plate 2 to rotate respectively, so that the first driving member 41 and the second driving member 42 do not interfere with each other. Further, the first driving member 41 and the third driving member 43 are respectively located on the left and right sides of the first air guide plate 1, so that the first driving member 41 and the third driving member 43 can better drive the first air guide plate 1 and the shutter assembly 3 to rotate respectively, so that the first driving member 41 and the third driving member 43 do not interfere with each other.

[0079] Alternatively, if Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the driving assembly also includes a second transmission rod 44 and a first transmission assembly, the second transmission rod 44 is transmission-connected between the third driving member 43 and the first transmission rod 32, the axis of the second transmission rod 44 coincides with the rotation axis, and the first transmission assembly includes a rotating member rotatably mounted on the second transmission rod 44, and the rotating member is transmission-connected between the second driving member 42 and the second air guide plate 2. In other words, the third driving member 43 can drive the second transmission rod 44 to move, and the second transmission rod 44 can drive the first transmission rod 32 to move, so that the first transmission rod 32 drives the plurality of louvers 31 to rotate and guide the wind, the second driving member 42 can drive the rotating member to rotate, and the rotating member can transmit the rotational force to the second air guide plate 2, so that the second air guide plate 2 rotates around the rotation axis. In addition, the axis of the second rotating rod coincides with the rotation axis, which can make the air guide structure 100 more compact.

[0080] Reference Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 In a specific example shown, the third driving member 43 can drive the second transmission rod 44 to reciprocate along its axis.

[0081] Optionally, the first transmission assembly includes a plurality of gears meshing with each other, one of the plurality of gears is a rotating member (i.e., the second gear 46). Through the cooperation of the plurality of gears, the first transmission assembly can be transmitted more stably, thereby enabling the second driving member 42 to drive the second air guide plate 2 to rotate more stably.

[0082] In one embodiment of the present invention, the air guide structure 100 also includes a limit member, which is arranged at one end of the first air guide plate 1 adjacent to the first driving member 41, and the limit member is used to limit the rotation angle of the first air guide plate 1. Therefore, when the limit member limits the rotation of the first air guide plate 1, since the limit member is adjacent to the first driving member 41, it is beneficial for the first air guide plate 1 to be more stable when limited and less prone to shaking.

[0083] In some embodiments of the present invention, the first wind deflector 1 has a first connecting arm 11 and a second connecting arm 12 at both ends; the second wind deflector 2 has a third connecting arm 21 and a fourth connecting arm 22 at both ends; the first connecting arm 11 and the third connecting arm 21 are rotatably connected via a first rotating shaft, and the second connecting arm 12 and the fourth connecting arm 22 are rotatably connected via a second rotating shaft, wherein the axis of the first rotating shaft coincides with the axis of the second rotating shaft. Figure 1 and Figure 3 In a specific example shown, the axis of the first rotating shaft and the axis of the second rotating shaft both coincide with the axis of the output shaft of the first driving member 41. The output shaft of the first driving member 41 is fixedly connected to the first connecting arm 11, and can better drive the first wind guide plate 1 to rotate. At this time, since the second wind guide plate 2 is rotatably mounted on the first rotating shaft and the second rotating shaft, when the first driving member 41 drives the first wind guide plate 1 to rotate, it will not affect the second wind guide plate 2. The rotating member of the first transmission assembly is fixed on the fourth connecting arm 22. Therefore, the second driving member 42 can transmit the rotational force to the fourth connecting arm 22 through the first transmission assembly, so that the second wind guide plate 2 can rotate. Similarly, when the first wind guide plate 1 is rotatably mounted on the first rotating shaft and the second rotating shaft, the rotation of the second wind guide plate 2 will not affect the first wind guide plate 1.

[0084] In some examples, the first air guide plate 1 is an arc-shaped plate around the rotation axis, in other examples, the second air guide plate 2 is an arc-shaped plate around the rotation axis, and in still other examples, the first air guide plate 1 and the second air guide plate 2 are both arc-shaped plates around the rotation axis, wherein the air can be guided along the arc-shaped surface of the arc-shaped plate, which has a better wind guiding effect. Therefore, when the first air guide plate 1 is an arc-shaped plate, the wind guiding effect of the first air guide plate 1 can be improved, and when the second air guide plate 2 is an arc-shaped plate, the wind guiding effect of the second air guide plate 2 can be improved.

[0085] In some embodiments of the present invention, the width of the first air guide plate 1 is greater than the width of the second air guide plate 2. Thus, the wind guiding capability of the first air guide plate 1 is stronger than that of the second air guide plate 2. Thus, the first air guide plate 1 and the second air guide plate 2 with different wind guiding capabilities can make the air guiding structure 100 have a more flexible wind guiding effect.

[0086] The present invention also provides an air conditioner having the air guide structure 100 of the above embodiment.

[0087] According to the air conditioner of the embodiment of the present invention, by providing the air guide structure 100 of the above embodiment, the air conditioner can have a more flexible air guide capability, and the air guide effect of the air conditioner can be improved, so as to better meet the needs of users.

[0088] Optionally, the air guiding structure 100 may also be used on other air outlet structures, such as a fan, and the present application does not impose any limitation on this.

[0089] Please refer to the following Figure 1-Figure 7 An air conditioner and an air guide structure 100 according to a specific embodiment of the present invention are described.

[0090] The air conditioner includes an air outlet frame 200, and an air guide structure 100 is installed at the air outlet of the air outlet frame 200. Specifically, the air guide structure 100 includes a first air guide plate 1 and a second air guide plate 2. The first air guide plate 1 and the second air guide plate 2 both extend along the length direction of the air outlet and are rotatably arranged at the air outlet. The rotation axis of the first air guide plate 1 coincides with the rotation axis of the second air guide plate 2. The first air guide plate 1 and the second air guide plate 2 have a first state in which they are spliced ​​together to close the air outlet and a second state in which they guide air separately.

[0091] The first wind deflector 1 has a first connecting arm 11 and a second connecting arm 12 at both ends; the second wind deflector 2 has a third connecting arm 21 and a fourth connecting arm 22 at both ends; the first connecting arm 11 and the third connecting arm 21 are rotatably connected via a first rotating shaft, and the second connecting arm 12 and the fourth connecting arm 22 are rotatably connected via a second rotating shaft, wherein the axis of the first rotating shaft coincides with the axis of the second rotating shaft

[0092] The first air guide plate 1 and the second air guide plate 2 are both arc-shaped plates surrounding the rotation axis, and the width of the first air guide plate 1 is greater than the width of the second air guide plate 2 .

[0093] The wind guide structure 100 also includes a louver assembly 3, which includes a plurality of louvers 31 and a first transmission rod 32. The plurality of louvers 31 are spaced apart along the length direction of the first wind guide plate 1 and are all rotatably mounted on the first wind guide plate 1. The first transmission rod 32 extends along the length direction of the first wind guide plate 1 and is transmission-connected to the plurality of louvers 31.

[0094] The wind guide structure 100 also includes a driving component, which is transmission-connected to the first wind guide plate 1, the second wind guide plate 2 and the first transmission rod 32 to drive the first wind guide plate 1, the second wind guide plate 2 and the louver 31 to rotate. Specifically, the driving component includes a first motor, a second motor and a third motor. The first motor is located at one end of the first wind guide plate 1 in the length direction, the second motor is located at the end of the second wind guide plate 2 in the length direction away from the first motor, and the third motor is located at the other end of the first wind guide plate 1 in the length direction. The output shaft of the first motor is fixedly connected to the first connecting arm 11 of the first wind guide plate 1. The driving component also includes a first transmission component, which includes a first gear 45 installed on the output shaft of the second motor and a second gear 46 (i.e., a rotating member) installed on the fourth connecting arm 22. The first gear 45 and the second gear 46 are meshed, and can transmit the rotational force of the second motor to the fourth connecting arm 22.

[0095] The driving assembly also includes a second transmission rod 44 and a second transmission assembly. The second transmission assembly includes a turbine 47 and a worm 48. The cooperation of the turbine 47 and the worm 48 can drive the second transmission rod 44 to reciprocate around its axis with the rotational force output by the third motor. Since the second gear 46 is rotatably mounted on the second transmission rod 44, the second motor driving the fourth connecting arm 22 to rotate will not affect the second transmission rod 44. Similarly, the second rotating rod will not affect the second gear 46 when it moves along its axis.

[0096] The air guide structure 100 further includes a limiter, which is disposed at one end of the first air guide plate 1 adjacent to the first motor, and is used to limit the rotation angle of the first air guide plate 1 .

[0097] When there is no limiting member, the first air guide plate 1 and the second air guide plate 2 can both rotate 360° around the rotation axis.

[0098] The present invention also provides a computer-readable storage medium.
