[0049] Reference below Figure 1-Figure 14 A wind guide structure 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention is described.

[0050] like Figure 1-Figure 14As shown, the wind guide structure 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention comprises a wind guide plate 1, a first rotating arm 2, a first driving assembly 4 and a second driving assembly 5. The first rotating arm 2 is formed with a first rotation center and a second rotation center that do not overlap. The wind guide plate 1 can rotate relative to the first rotating arm 2 around the first rotation center. The first driving assembly 4 is used to drive the wind guide plate 1 to rotate around the first rotation center, and the second driving assembly 5 is used to drive the first rotating arm 2 to rotate around the second rotation center. That is to say, the first rotating arm 2 and the wind guide plate 1 rotate along different rotation centers respectively. On the one hand, the wind guide plate 1 can have a more flexible posture adjustment. On the other hand, the first rotating arm 2 rotates around the second rotation center, and the wind guide plate 1 is rotatably mounted on the first rotating arm 2 and can rotate around the first rotation center on the first rotating arm 2. The relative distance between the wind guide plate 1 and the air outlet 200 of the air conditioner 1000 can be increased well, so that the wind guide plate 1 has a larger range of motion, so that the wind guide action can be performed better in a larger range, thereby improving the wind guide performance of the wind guide structure 100.

[0051] For further reference, see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 In a specific example shown, the air guide plate 1 is rotatably mounted on the first rotating arm 2 via a first rotating shaft 61, the first mounting base 3 is mounted at the air outlet 200 of the air conditioner 1000, the first rotating arm 2 is rotatably mounted on the first mounting base 3 via a second rotating shaft 62, the first driving assembly 4 is used to drive the air guide plate 1 to rotate around the first rotating shaft 61, and the second driving assembly 5 is used to drive the first rotating arm 2 to rotate around the second rotating shaft 62.

[0052] That is to say, the air guide structure 100 can be installed at the position of the air outlet 200 of the air conditioner 1000 through the first mounting seat 3. For example, the air conditioner 1000 has an air outlet frame 201, and the air outlet frame 201 constructs the air outlet 200. The first mounting seat 3 can be installed on the air outlet frame 201. More specifically, in one example, the first mounting seat 3 can be installed in the air outlet 200. When the air guide structure 100 is in a closed state, the air guide structure 100 can be hidden in the air outlet 200, which has good aesthetics. In another example, the first mounting seat 3 can be on the air outlet frame 201 installed outside the air outlet 200. In this way, the air guide structure 100 can be easily disassembled and assembled.

[0053] More specifically, the first rotating arm 2 is rotatably mounted on the first mounting seat 3 via the second rotating shaft 62, the wind guide plate 1 is rotatably mounted on the first rotating arm 2 via the first rotating shaft 61, and the first driving assembly 4 and the second driving assembly 5 are respectively driving structures that can be driven independently. Therefore, when the wind guide structure 100 is required to guide the wind, in the first example, the wind guide plate 1 can be driven to rotate around the first rotating shaft 61 only by the first driving assembly 4, that is, the wind is guided by the rotation of the wind guide plate 1 alone; in the second example, the first rotating arm 2 can be driven to rotate only by the second driving assembly 5, and when the first rotating arm 2 rotates, the wind guide plate 1 can be driven to rotate, thereby achieving The air guiding action of the air guide plate 1 is shown; in the third example, the air guide plate 1 can be driven to rotate by the first driving component 4, and the first rotating arm 2 can be driven to rotate by the second driving component 5, thereby, the air guide plate 1 can have different postures at the air outlet 200 for guiding air, and has strong flexibility; in the fourth example, the air guide plate 1 can be driven to rotate by the first driving component 4, and the first rotating arm 2 can be driven to rotate by the second driving component 5, in addition, the rotation speed of the air guide plate 1 and the rotation speed of the first driving arm can be the same or different, thereby realizing that the air conditioner 1000 has different air guiding effects, thereby having more air guiding capabilities, and has strong practicality.

[0054] Therefore, according to the wind guide structure 100 of the embodiment of the present invention, by providing a first rotating arm 2 that can rotate around a second rotation center, and providing an wind guide plate 1 that rotates around a first rotation center on the first rotating arm 2, the wind guide plate 1 can be more flexibly rotated at the air outlet 200 to guide the wind. Furthermore, by providing a first driving component 4 and a second driving component 5, and the first driving component 4 and the second driving component 5 can independently drive the wind guide plate 1 and the first rotating arm 2, so that the first rotating arm 2 and the wind guide plate 1 can move separately or simultaneously, and the first rotating arm 2 and the wind guide plate 1 can also rotate at different speeds, so that the wind guide structure 100 can have different wind guiding capabilities and achieve different wind guiding effects, thereby better meeting the needs of users and having strong practicality.

[0055] In some embodiments of the present invention, the axis of the first rotating shaft 61 and the second rotating shaft 62 both extend along the length direction of the air outlet 200, and the axes of the two are parallel. Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As a specific example shown, the length direction of the air outlet 200 can refer to the attached Figure 1 As shown in the left and right directions, the first rotating arm 2 can rotate around the axis extending in the left and right directions, and the wind guide plate 1 can also rotate around the axis extending in the left and right directions, thereby realizing the wind guiding action of the wind guide structure 100 in the up and down directions.

[0056] In other embodiments, the axis of the first rotating shaft 61 and the axis of the second rotating shaft 62 may not be parallel. For example, the axis of the second rotating shaft 62 rotates around the axis extending in the up-down direction, thereby driving the air guide plate 1 to approach or move away from the air outlet 200. Furthermore, the axis of the first rotating shaft 61 rotates around the axis extending in the left-right direction, thereby performing an up-down wind guiding action. Of course, it is understandable that the axis of the first rotating shaft 61 and the axis of the second rotating shaft 62 may also have other different angles, such as 30°, 45°, 60°, etc., to achieve different wind guiding actions.

[0057] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the first rotating shaft 61 and the second rotating shaft 62 are respectively located at the two ends of the first rotating arm 2. For example, the axis of the first rotating shaft 61 and the second rotating shaft 62 both extend along the length direction of the air outlet 200, and the axes of the two are parallel. Therefore, when the first rotating arm 2 rotates, the air guide plate 1 can have a larger rotation range in the up and down directions, thereby increasing the air guiding range of the air guide plate 1 for the air outlet of the air conditioner 1000, that is, the air guide plate 1 can guide the air outlet of the air conditioner 1000 to a larger range.

[0058] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Fig.10 As shown, one end of the first rotating arm 2 is rotatably connected to the lower edge of the air outlet 200 through the second rotating shaft 62. When the other end of the first rotating arm 2 rotates to the air outlet 200, the other end of the first rotating arm 2 is adjacent to the upper edge of the air outlet 200. Figure 4 and Fig.10 A specific example is shown. When the wind guide structure 100 is in a closed state, the wind guide plate 1 can better close the air outlet 200, thereby preventing solid particles such as dust in the air from entering the air conditioner 1000. When the wind guide structure 100 is in an open state, the wind guide plate 1 can rotate with the first rotating arm 2, or rotate around the first rotating axis 61. The wind guide plate 1 has a large rotation range and a large wind guiding range, and different wind guiding postures can be constructed, thereby meeting different user needs.

[0059] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 4-Figure 9As shown, the first drive assembly 4 includes a first drive motor 41 and a first transmission assembly 42. The first drive motor 41 is transmission-connected to the second rotating shaft 62. The transmission assembly is transmission-connected between the first rotating shaft 61 and the second rotating shaft 62. Thus, the first drive motor 41 can drive the second rotating shaft 62 to rotate. The second rotating shaft 62 can drive the first rotating shaft 61 to rotate through the first transmission assembly 42. In one example, the first rotating shaft 61 is transmission-connected to the air guide plate 1. Thus, the first rotating shaft 61 is transmission-connected to the air guide plate 1, so that the first drive assembly 4 drives the air guide plate 1 to rotate; in another example, the second rotating shaft 62 can be transmission-connected to the first rotating arm 2, so that the first drive assembly 4 can simultaneously drive the air guide plate 1 and the first rotating arm 2 to rotate.

[0060] Optionally, the first transmission assembly 42 includes: a plurality of gears meshing with each other, and the cooperation of the plurality of gears can make the transmission more stable.

[0061] Alternatively, if Figure 4-Figure 9 As shown, the first transmission assembly 42 includes a first bevel gear 421, a second bevel gear 422, a transmission shaft 423, a third bevel gear 424 and a fourth bevel gear 425. The first bevel gear 421 is sleeved on the first rotating shaft 61, the second bevel gear 422 is sleeved on the second rotating shaft 62, one end of the transmission shaft 423 is provided with the third bevel gear 424 meshing with the first bevel gear 421, and the other end of the transmission shaft 423 is provided with the fourth bevel gear 425 meshing with the second bevel gear 422. Therefore, the first transmission assembly 42 can transmit the rotational force of the second rotating shaft 62 to the first rotating shaft 61 more stably.

[0062] Alternatively, if Figure 4-Figure 9 As shown, the first rotating arm 2 has a first installation space 21, and the first transmission assembly 42 is installed in the first installation space 21. Therefore, the first rotating arm 2 can better protect the first transmission assembly 42, thereby preventing the first transmission assembly 42 from being damaged and solid particles in the air from falling on the first transmission assembly 42 and affecting the stability of the first transmission assembly 42.

[0063] Alternatively, if Figure 4-Figure 9 As shown, a limiting structure 22 is provided in the first installation space 21, and the transmission shaft 423 is rotatably installed on the limiting structure 22. A plurality of limiting structures 22 are provided, and the plurality of limiting structures 22 are spaced apart along the axial direction of the transmission shaft 423. Thus, the transmission shaft 423 can rotate stably, thereby being able to more stably transmit the rotational force of the second rotating shaft 62 to the first rotating shaft 61.

[0064] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 4-Figure 9As shown, the second drive assembly 5 includes a second drive motor 51 and a second transmission assembly 52, the second drive motor 51 is in transmission connection with the second transmission assembly 52, the second transmission assembly 52 includes a first gear 521 rotatably mounted on the second rotating shaft 62, and the first gear 521 is fixedly connected to the first rotating arm 2. That is to say, when the first drive assembly 4 drives the second rotating shaft 62 to rotate, the first rotating arm 2 does not rotate. At this time, the second rotating shaft 62 transmits the rotational force to the first rotating shaft 61 through the first transmission assembly 42, and the rotation of the first rotating shaft 61 drives the air guide plate 1 to rotate. When the second drive assembly 5 is working, the second drive assembly 5 can drive the first gear 521 to rotate. At this time, the first gear 521 can drive the first rotating arm 2 to rotate, thereby realizing the independent movement of the first rotating arm 2 and the air guide plate 1. It can be understood that since the first drive motor 41 and the second drive motor 51 work independently, the rotation speeds of the first drive motor 41 and the second drive motor 51 can be freely controlled, thereby realizing that the first rotating arm 2 and the air guide plate 1 have different rotation speeds. In addition, the force transmission achieved through the gear structure can help the first rotating arm 2 and the air guide plate 1 to stop at any rotation angle, and the stability is good.

[0065] Alternatively, if Figure 4-Figure 9 As shown, the second transmission assembly 52 also includes a second gear 522 and an intermediate gear set 523, the second gear 522 is transmission-connected to the second drive motor 51, the intermediate gear set 523 includes at least one gear, and the intermediate gear set 523 is transmission-connected between the first gear 521 and the second gear 522. In a specific example, the intermediate gear set 523 includes a gear, and the second gear 522 is coaxially sleeved on the output shaft of the second drive motor 51, so that the second drive motor 51 can drive the second gear 522 to rotate when working, and the second gear 522 can drive the first gear 521 to rotate through the intermediate gear set 523, so that the first gear 521 drives the first rotating arm 2 to rotate.

[0066] Optionally, the second gear 522 may be mounted on the output shaft of the second drive motor 51 , and the second gear 522 may also be transmission-connected to the second drive motor 51 via other transmission structures, which is not limited here.

[0067] Optionally, the output shaft of the first drive motor 41 is parallel to the output shaft of the second drive motor 51 , thereby reducing the layout space of the first drive motor 41 and the second drive motor 51 .

[0068] Optionally, the first mounting seat 3 has a second mounting space 31 , and the first drive motor 41 and the second drive motor 51 are both mounted in the second mounting space 31 , so that the first mounting seat 3 can protect the first drive motor 41 and the second drive motor 51 .

[0069] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 4-Figure 9 As shown, the air guide structure 100 includes a second mounting seat 8 and a second rotating arm 7, the first mounting seat 3 and the second mounting seat 8 are respectively mounted at both ends of the length direction of the air outlet 200, the second rotating arm 7 is rotatably connected to the second mounting seat 8 via a third rotating shaft 63, one end of the air guide plate 1 is rotatably connected to the first rotating arm 2 via a first rotating shaft 61, and the other end of the air guide plate 1 is rotatably connected to the second rotating arm 7 via a fourth rotating shaft 64. Thus, when the first driving assembly 4 drives the air guide plate 1 to rotate, the two ends of the air guide plate 1 can rotate around the first rotating shaft 61 and the fourth rotating shaft 64 respectively, and when the second driving assembly 5 drives the first rotating arm 2 to rotate, the second rotating arm 7 can be driven around the third rotating shaft 63, so that the air guide plate 1 has better stability.

[0070] Optionally, a first transmission assembly 42 is also provided in the second rotating arm 7, and a first drive motor and a second drive motor are provided in the second mounting base 8. That is, in the present application, two first drive motors 41 and two first transmission assemblies 42 are provided, and the two first drive motors 41 work together to simultaneously drive the left and right sides of the air guide plate 1. At the same time, two second drive motors 51 and two second transmission assemblies 52 are also provided, and the two second drive motors 52 work together to respectively drive the first rotating arm 2 and the second rotating arm 7 to rotate.

[0071] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 4-Figure 9 As shown, the air guide plate 1 is an arc-shaped plate opening toward the air outlet 200, that is, the arc-shaped plate has a groove opening toward one side, and the opening of the groove faces the air outlet 200. Therefore, when the air guide plate 1 rotates, the air blown out of the air outlet 200 of the air conditioner 1000 can be guided along the arc-shaped surface structure, so that the air blown out by the air conditioner 1000 can have a larger air outlet angle. Further, with the rotation of the first rotating arm 2, the air guide plate 1 can have an even larger air guide angle.

[0072] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 4-Figure 9 As shown, the side of the first rotating arm 2 facing the air guide plate 1 is an arc surface adapted to the arc plate. Therefore, when the air guide plate 1 rotates toward the first rotating arm 2, the air guide plate 1 can fit well on the arc surface and has good aesthetics.

[0073] Reference below Figure 1-Figure 14 A wind guide structure 100 according to a specific embodiment of the present invention is described.

[0074] The wind guide structure 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention comprises a wind guide plate 1, a first rotating arm 2, a first mounting seat 3, a first driving assembly 4, a second driving assembly 5, a second mounting seat 8 and a second rotating arm 7. The first mounting seat 3 and the second mounting seat 8 are respectively mounted at both ends of the length direction of the air outlet 200. The first rotating arm 2 is rotatably mounted on the first mounting seat 3 through the second rotating shaft 62. The second rotating arm 7 is rotatably connected to the second mounting seat 8 through the third rotating shaft 63. One end of the wind guide plate 1 is connected to the first rotating seat 8 through the first rotating shaft 61. The movable arm 2 is rotatably connected, and the other end of the air guide plate 1 is rotatably connected to the second rotating arm 7 through the fourth rotating shaft 64. The air guide plate 1 is an arc-shaped plate opening toward the air outlet 200. The sides of the first rotating arm 2 and the second rotating arm 7 facing the air guide plate 1 are both arc-shaped surfaces adapted to the arc-shaped plate, wherein one end of the first rotating arm 2 is rotatably connected to the lower edge of the air outlet 200 through the second rotating shaft 62, and when the other end of the first rotating arm 2 rotates to the air outlet 200, the other end of the first rotating arm 2 is adjacent to the upper edge of the air outlet 200.

[0075] The first driving assembly 4 includes two first driving motors 41 and two first transmission assemblies 42. The first rotating arm 2 and the second rotating arm 7 have the same structure and both have a first installation space 21. The two first transmission assemblies 42 are respectively installed in the two first installation spaces 21.
