Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of air treatment equipment, and in particular to an air guide structure, an indoor unit and air treatment equipment. Background Art
[0002] Air handling equipment typically features an air outlet and an adjustable air guide structure. The guide plate is pivotally connected to the edge of the outlet, and its opening and closing angles adjust the direction of the airflow. To further optimize airflow distribution, a movable air guide blade assembly is installed within the outlet, enabling multi-directional air flow adjustment by adjusting the blades' spatial position.
[0003] However, this existing adjustment method has obvious limitations, making it difficult to achieve large-scale air supply coverage, resulting in a relatively limited airflow distribution area. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The present application provides an air guide structure, an indoor unit and an air treatment device to solve existing problems.
[0005] In a first aspect, the present application provides an air guide structure, including a mounting bracket and an adjustment assembly:
[0006] The adjustment component can be movably arranged on the mounting bracket along a set track, the first end of the adjustment component is close to the middle of the mounting bracket, and the second end of the adjustment component is close to the edge of the mounting bracket;
[0007] The set trajectory includes a straight segment and a rotating segment connected to each other, and when the adjustment component moves along the straight segment toward the rotating segment, the adjustment component can move toward the front side relative to the mounting bracket;
[0008] When the adjusting assembly moves along the rotating section, the adjusting assembly rotates around the first end of the adjusting assembly, and the second end of the adjusting assembly moves toward the rear side relative to the mounting bracket.
[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the present application provides an air guide structure that can flexibly adjust the direction of airflow. The air guide structure achieves uniform air supply at a larger angle by combining an installation bracket and an adjustment component.
[0010] Specifically, the adjustment component is mounted on the mounting bracket and can be moved along a predetermined trajectory, with its first end near the center of the bracket and its second end near the edge of the bracket. This predetermined trajectory consists of a straight section and a rotating section. As the adjustment component moves along the straight section, it gradually approaches the front. When it reaches the rotating section, it can further rotate and adjust, moving the second end toward the rear. This method not only achieves multi-dimensional wind direction adjustment but also ensures uniform wind distribution, improving the user experience.
[0011] It is understandable that compared to the single translation or simple rotation wind guide solutions in the prior art, the wind guide structure of the embodiment of the present application achieves a significant expansion of the air supply angle and precise control of the airflow distribution through a composite motion trajectory design. The movement of the straight segment creates sufficient operating space for the rotational movement, allowing the air guide component to deflect from the optimal position, and the precise angle control of the rotating segment ensures fine adjustment of the airflow direction. This segmented motion mechanism realizes multi-dimensional wind direction adjustment under the condition of a single driving source, achieving the technical effect of expanding the air supply range while ensuring the uniformity and stability of the airflow distribution.
[0012] In some embodiments of the present application, when the adjusting assembly moves along the straight section toward the rotating section, the adjusting assembly is parallel to an extension direction of the mounting bracket.
[0013] The adjustment assembly remains parallel to the extension of the mounting bracket as it moves along the straight segment, ensuring that the assembly does not deflect during the translation phase and establishing a reference orientation for precise movement during the subsequent rotational phase. This parallel movement maintains a stable attitude during position adjustment and provides an accurate spatial starting condition for rotational movement.
[0014] In some embodiments of the present application, the adjustment assembly includes a supporting plate and a plurality of wind guide blades disposed on the supporting plate.
[0015] The control assembly achieves airflow control through a combination of a carrier plate and guide vanes. The carrier plate serves as a rigid support frame to ensure overall structural stability, while multiple evenly distributed guide vanes form an adjustable airflow path. The assembly of the guide vanes and carrier plate allows for synchronized movement and adjustment, achieving precise airflow control while maintaining structural strength.
[0016] In some embodiments of the present application, the mounting bracket is provided with a first guide groove and a second guide groove, the first guide groove is located in the middle of the mounting bracket, and the second guide groove is close to the edge of the mounting bracket;
[0017] The supporting plate is provided with a first guide post and a second guide post. The first guide post can be slidably arranged in the first guide groove, and the second guide post can be slidably arranged in the second guide groove.
[0018] The mounting bracket has a double-track design with a first guide groove in the middle and a second guide groove at the edge, which forms a precise match with the first and second guide columns of the load-bearing plate to build a stable compound motion guide system.
[0019] In some embodiments of the present application, the first guide groove is a linear guide groove, and the extension direction of the linear guide groove is parallel to the front-back direction;
[0020] The second guide groove includes a connected straight groove and an arc groove, the straight groove is arranged parallel to the straight guide groove, the arc groove is located on the side of the straight groove close to the straight guide groove, and the center of the arc groove is located at the end of the straight guide groove facing the front side.
[0021] The first guide slot's linear design aligns parallel to the machine's front-to-back direction, providing a baseline axial guide for the adjustment assembly and ensuring linear accuracy during initial movement. The second guide slot, through the connection of the linear and curved slots, maintains parallel motion with the first while achieving a natural transition in motion trajectory through the concentric arrangement of the curved slots. The alignment of the curved slot's center with the front end of the first guide slot ensures that the second guide post's pivot point always precisely aligns with the first guide post's final position, forming a smooth "translation-rotation" compound motion chain.
[0022] In some embodiments of the present application, the central angle corresponding to the arc groove is greater than or equal to 20 degrees and less than or equal to 45 degrees.
[0023] The central angle of the arc slot is limited to between 20 and 45 degrees, ensuring sufficient rotation of the control assembly for effective airflow deflection while avoiding structural interference caused by excessive rotation. This angle range precisely balances airflow coverage and mechanical stability, allowing the guide vanes to operate within the optimal rotation range. This limited angle ensures flexible airflow direction adjustment while maintaining the compactness and reliability of the overall structure.
[0024] In some embodiments of the present application, the arrangement direction of the first guide post and the second guide post is parallel to the extension direction of the supporting plate, and the first guide post and the second guide post are close to the rear side of the supporting plate.
[0025] The layout of the first and second guide posts, positioned parallel to the carrier plate, ensures that the force axis aligns with the carrier plate's structural orientation during movement. This centralized arrangement at the rear leaves a clear front for wind deflection. This arrangement allows the guide system to maintain motion accuracy while avoiding interference with the front wind guide vanes. The parallel configuration of the rear columns creates a stable couple balance, effectively suppressing torsional deformation of the carrier plate during complex movements.
[0026] In some embodiments of the present application, there are multiple adjustment components, and the multiple adjustment components include a first adjustment component and a second adjustment component;
[0027] When the first adjustment component and the second adjustment component are in the first position, the length directions of the first adjustment component and the second adjustment component are located on the same straight line;
[0028] When the first adjustment assembly and the second adjustment assembly are in the second position, the ends of the first adjustment assembly and the second adjustment assembly that are close to each other extend out of the mounting bracket toward the front.
[0029] The parallel arrangement of multiple adjustment components significantly expands the control capabilities of the air guide structure through collaborative operation. In the first position, the first and second adjustment components remain collinearly aligned, forming an overall air guide plane. In the second position, the front ends of adjacent components extend forward synchronously, creating a three-dimensional air guide array through a staggered spatial layout. This multi-component linkage design maintains the motion characteristics of individual adjustment units while achieving a wider range of airflow coverage and more flexible wind direction control through the combined effect, systematically improving overall air supply performance.
[0030] In a second aspect, the present application provides an indoor unit, comprising an air guide structure as described in any one of the first aspects, and a first heat exchanger, wherein the air guide structure is arranged on an air outlet side of the first heat exchanger.
[0031] In a third aspect, the present application provides an air treatment device, comprising the indoor unit as described in the second aspect, a compressor and a second heat exchanger, wherein the first heat exchanger and the second heat exchanger are both connected to the compressor.

[0046] The above drawings illustrate specific embodiments of the present application, which will be described in more detail below. These drawings and the textual description are not intended to limit the scope of the present application in any way, but rather to illustrate the concepts of the present application to those skilled in the art by reference to specific embodiments. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0047] As mentioned in the background, the design of the air guide structure in existing air handling equipment is crucial to improving user experience and indoor air circulation efficiency. The air guide structure needs to be able to flexibly adjust the air direction to better adapt to different room layouts and usage requirements.
[0048] Traditional airflow methods primarily change the airflow direction by moving the air vents up and down or left and right. While this method is simple and easy to use, it has limitations in terms of flexibility and precision in adjusting the airflow direction. This is especially true in confined spaces or home environments, where more precise airflow control is required to meet airflow needs in every corner of the room.
[0049] Therefore, there is an urgent need for an air guide structure solution that can achieve a larger air supply angle.
[0050] In order to solve the technical problems of the traditional air guide device having a single adjustment angle and uneven airflow distribution, the present application provides an air guide structure that can flexibly adjust the airflow direction. The air guide structure achieves uniform air supply at a larger angle by combining an installation bracket and an adjustment component.
[0051] Specifically, the adjustment component is mounted on the mounting bracket and can be moved along a predetermined trajectory, with its first end near the center of the bracket and its second end near the edge of the bracket. This predetermined trajectory consists of a straight section and a rotating section. As the adjustment component moves along the straight section, it gradually approaches the front. When it reaches the rotating section, it can further rotate and adjust, moving the second end toward the rear. This method not only achieves multi-dimensional wind direction adjustment but also ensures uniform wind distribution, improving the user experience.
[0052] It is understandable that compared to the single translation or simple rotation wind guide solutions in the prior art, the wind guide structure of the embodiment of the present application achieves a significant expansion of the air supply angle and precise control of the airflow distribution through a composite motion trajectory design. The movement of the straight segment creates sufficient operating space for the rotational movement, allowing the air guide component to deflect from the optimal position, and the precise angle control of the rotating segment ensures fine adjustment of the airflow direction. This segmented motion mechanism realizes multi-dimensional wind direction adjustment under the condition of a single driving source, achieving the technical effect of expanding the air supply range while ensuring the uniformity and stability of the airflow distribution.

[0059] The following specific embodiments describe in detail the technical solution of the present application and how the technical solution of the present application solves the above-mentioned technical problems. The following specific embodiments can be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be repeated in some embodiments. The embodiments of the present application will be described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0060] The present application provides an air handling device, including but not limited to an air conditioner, a humidifier, a dehumidifier, a ventilation device, a heat recovery ventilation system, an air purifier, and a fresh air device. In the present application, the air handling device is described as an air conditioner. Air conditioners can include wall-mounted air conditioners, floor-standing air conditioners, central air conditioners, and ducted air conditioners. The following description specifically uses a wall-mounted air conditioner as an example.
[0061] See also Figures 1-8 , an embodiment of the present application provides an air guide structure, wherein the air guide structure may include a mounting bracket 200 and an adjustment component 300.
[0062] The mounting bracket 200 can serve as a bearing component of the wind guide structure, and is used to provide a stable mounting base for the adjustment assembly 300 and provide precise guidance for the movement of the adjustment assembly 300 .
[0063] The mounting bracket 200 may be of a frame design, with a horizontal frame and a vertical frame forming a rigid support platform.
[0064] The adjustment assembly 300 is movably mounted on the mounting bracket 200 along a predetermined trajectory and can be moved between a first position and a second position. The mobility of the adjustment assembly 300 allows the air guide structure to switch between different positions, thereby adjusting the air supply angle. By moving between the first and second positions, the adjustment assembly 300 can change the angle and direction of the air guide blades 360, thereby affecting the distribution and coverage of the airflow.
[0065] The first end of the adjustment assembly 300 may be close to the middle of the mounting bracket 200, and the second end of the adjustment assembly 300 may be close to the edge of the mounting bracket 200. The adjustment assembly 300 may be movably connected to the mounting bracket 200 via a sliding or rolling mechanism.
[0066] The set trajectory can include connected straight segments and rotating segments. The straight segments provide initial linear displacement space for the adjustment assembly 300. When the adjustment assembly 300 moves along the straight segment toward the rotating segment, it moves forward relative to the mounting bracket 200. At this time, the first end and the second end of the adjustment assembly 300 move synchronously toward the front of the mounting bracket 200.
[0067] When the adjustment component 300 moves along the rotating section, the adjustment component 300 can rotate around the first end of the adjustment component 300. The first end of the adjustment component 300 acts as a rotation fulcrum at this stage, and the second end of the adjustment component 300 can move toward the rear side relative to the mounting bracket 200. This backward movement is due to the fulcrum fixing effect of the first end of the adjustment component 300 and the geometric constraints of the rotating section trajectory.
[0068] The structural design of the edge area of mounting bracket 200 provides the necessary movement space for the second end of adjustment assembly 300, while the rotation section ensures that it moves along the predetermined path. The amount of rearward movement of the second end of adjustment assembly 300 relative to mounting bracket 200 depends on the curvature radius and rotation angle of the rotation section.
[0069] Specifically, the design of the rotating segment inherits the motion of the linear segment, with its center position corresponding to the terminal position of the first end of the adjustment assembly 300. When the adjustment assembly 300 transitions from the linear segment to the rotating segment, the nature of its motion undergoes a fundamental shift, from pure translation to rotational motion with the first end of the adjustment assembly 300 as the fulcrum. This phased change in trajectory enables a single drive source to achieve complex motion effects, simplifying the structure and expanding its functionality.
[0070] When the adjustment assembly 300 moves along the straight segment toward the rotating segment, the adjustment assembly 300 can be parallel to the extension direction of the mounting bracket 200. This ensures that the relative orientation between the adjustment assembly 300 and the mounting bracket 200 remains constant during the straight-line movement, establishing a reference for the subsequent transition of the motion phase.
[0071] The air guide structure may be provided with a drive motor 400. The drive motor 400 may drive the adjustment assembly 300 to rotate about the rotation axis relative to the mounting bracket 200. The output shaft of the drive motor 400 may be directly or indirectly connected to the rotation axis of the adjustment assembly 300 to form a power transmission path.
[0072] The rotation axis can be a geometric reference for the rotational motion of the adjustment assembly 300. Both ends of the rotation axis can be movably connected to the mounting bracket 200 through a bearing structure, thereby ensuring the rotational freedom while bearing the load transmitted by the adjustment assembly 300.
[0073] The adjustment assembly 300 may include a carrying plate 350 and a plurality of air guide blades 360 disposed on the carrying plate 350 . The carrying plate 350 and the air guide blades 360 may constitute a complete airflow guiding functional unit.
[0074] A plurality of air guide blades 360 may be disposed on the front side of the carrier plate 350. The air guide blades 360 may be spaced evenly apart, and the air guide blades 360 and the plane of the carrier plate 350 may form an inclination angle, which may affect the deflection effect of the airflow.
[0075] The support plate 350 can be connected to the adjustment assembly 300. The drive motor 400 transmits driving force to the adjustment assembly 300, which drives the support plate 350 to move. Each air guide vane 360 on the support plate 350 can be directly connected to the output end of the drive motor 400, and the drive motor 400 directly drives each air guide vane 360 to rotate. Alternatively, each air guide vane 360 can be connected to the adjustment assembly 300, and the adjustment assembly 300 drives each air guide vane 360 to rotate.
[0076] like Figure 3 As shown, the carrier plate 350 can be connected to the adjustment assembly 300 via a transmission member 410. The drive motor 400 is used to provide driving force, and the transmission member 410 is used to transmit the driving force of the drive motor 400 to the adjustment assembly 300 to drive the adjustment assembly 300 to move.
[0077] With such an arrangement, only one drive motor 400 cooperates with the adjustment component 300 to drive the rotation of each air guide blade 360 on the carrier plate 350 and to drive the carrier plate 350 to move. The structure of the drive motor 400 is simpler, which simplifies the driving method of the adjustment component 300. In addition, there are no other driving components in the drive motor 400, and the drive motor 400 as a whole occupies a smaller space and is lighter in weight, which can save space in the air guide structure, facilitate the layout design of other components in the air treatment device 100, and is conducive to the lightweighting of the entire air treatment device 100. In addition, by only using one drive motor 400 to drive the adjustment component 300 to move, the number of drive motors 400 used is reduced to the greatest extent, which can reduce the energy consumption of the air guide structure.
[0078] The mounting bracket 200 may be provided with a first guide groove 210 and a second guide groove 220 , which are respectively provided in different areas of the mounting bracket 200 to achieve differentiated motion guiding functions.
[0079] The first guide slot 210 can be provided in the middle of the mounting bracket 200 to control the movement trajectory of the first end of the adjustment assembly 300. The second guide slot 220 can be provided near the edge of the mounting bracket 200 to control the movement trajectory of the second end of the adjustment assembly 300.
[0080] The adjustment assembly 300 may include a first guide post 330 and a second guide post 340 . The first guide post 330 may be slidably disposed in the first guide slot 210 , and the second guide post 340 may be slidably disposed in the second guide slot 220 .
[0081] The first and second guide posts 330 and 340 can be arranged parallel to the extension direction of the support plate 350. This parallel arrangement ensures that the movement trajectory of the guide posts aligns with the force applied to the support plate 350, facilitating effective force transmission and maintaining motion stability. Placing the guide posts near the rear of the support plate 350 allows for necessary functional space in the front of the support plate 350 while maintaining a compact overall structure.
[0082] The first guide slot 210 may be a linear guide slot 211 extending parallel to the front-to-back direction. The first guide slot 210 may provide a precise linear motion trajectory for the first guide post 330 of the adjustment assembly 300, thereby ensuring the stability of the adjustment assembly 300 in the front-to-back direction.
[0083] The second guide slot 220 can include a connected linear slot 221 and an arcuate slot 222, embodying the characteristics of a composite motion trajectory. The linear slot 221 can be arranged parallel to and spaced apart from the linear guide slot 211 to ensure synchronization of the displacements of the adjustment assembly 300 at both ends during the linear motion phase. The arcuate slot 222 can be located on the side of the linear slot 221 adjacent to the linear guide slot 211, creating the necessary conditions for subsequent rotational motion.
[0084] The center of the arcuate groove 222 can be located at the forward end of the linear guide groove 211, making the forward end of the linear guide groove 211 the fulcrum for the rotational motion. When the guide post transitions from the linear groove 221 to the arcuate groove 222, the nature of its motion changes from pure linear motion to curved motion centered about the endpoint of the first guide groove 210. The coordinated design of the two guide grooves enables precise control of the motion trajectory, ensuring both a smooth transition and accurate positional relationship.
[0085] The central angle of the arc groove 222 can be greater than or equal to 20 degrees and less than or equal to 45 degrees. Setting a lower limit for the central angle ensures that the adjustment assembly 300 has the necessary rotational space to effectively change the displacement of the second end of the adjustment assembly 300. Setting an upper limit prevents structural interference or motion instability that could result from excessive rotation of the second end of the adjustment assembly 300.
[0086] There may be multiple adjustment assemblies 300. As an alternative embodiment, there may be two adjustment assemblies 300, including a first adjustment assembly 310 and a second adjustment assembly 320. The first adjustment assembly 310 and the second adjustment assembly 320 may be spaced apart along the extension direction of the mounting bracket 200. To match the adjustment assemblies 300, there may also be two drive motors 400. Two drive assemblies are connected to the first adjustment assembly 310 and the second adjustment assembly 320, respectively, with each drive assembly driving the corresponding adjustment assembly 300.
[0087] In this way, the first adjustment assembly 310 and the second adjustment assembly 320 can respectively supply air to different areas. The first adjustment assembly 310 and the second adjustment assembly 320 each have different air supply areas, which can expand the air supply area of the air guide structure and expand the air supply coverage area of the air treatment device 100. Furthermore, the first adjustment assembly 310 and the second adjustment assembly 320 are independently driven by two drive assemblies, and the air supply areas of the first adjustment assembly 310 and the second adjustment assembly 320 can be adjusted independently, without any linkage between the two.
[0088] In this way, the air handling device 100 can be adapted to different indoor layouts and usage requirements. Users can flexibly adjust the air supply areas of the first adjustment component 310 and the second adjustment component 320 according to actual conditions. This satisfies the requirements of different environments for different air supply areas, ensuring that the airflow blown out by the air handling device 100 is fully and effectively utilized to avoid waste.
[0089] When the first and second adjustment assemblies 310 and 320 are in the first position, their lengths can be aligned. The alignment of the axes of the first and second adjustment assemblies 310 and 320 ensures that the entire air guide system maintains a compact structure when not in operation. A suitable gap can be maintained between the adjacent ends of the first and second adjustment assemblies 310 and 320, preventing motion interference and ensuring a cohesive appearance.
[0090] When the first adjustment component 310 and the second adjustment component 320 are in the second position, the ends of the first adjustment component 310 and the second adjustment component 320 that are close to each other can extend toward the front side of the mounting bracket 200, forming a continuous wind guide interface in front of the mounting bracket 200. The ends of the first adjustment component 310 and the second adjustment component 320 that are away from each other can be retracted to the mounting bracket 200, forming an air outlet angle toward the outside. An angle is formed between the adjustment component 300 and the mounting bracket 200, and a portion of the adjustment component 300 extends from the mounting bracket 200. This setting allows the adjustment component 300 to change the direction and coverage of the airflow when in the second position. By forming an angle, the adjustment component 300 can guide the airflow in a specific direction, increasing the flexibility and coverage area of the air supply.
[0091] Specifically, by allowing the adjustment assembly 300 to rotate and form an angle, the air guide structure can adapt to more complex air supply requirements and provide a variety of airflow direction options. By forming an angle at the first end of the adjustment assembly 300 and extending the mounting bracket 200, the air guide structure can guide airflow to cover a wider area, reduce blind spots, and improve the uniformity of indoor air distribution.
[0092] The first and second adjustment assemblies 310, 320 extend forward synchronously via their respective straight segments, with their adjacent ends moving forward along a predetermined trajectory. This symmetrical deployment mechanism ensures that the first and second adjustment assemblies 310, 320 form a continuous airflow-guiding surface when in their operating positions, preventing potential airflow turbulence.
[0093] Since the first adjustment assembly 310 and the second adjustment assembly 320 are independent motion units, their deployment angles can be adjusted separately as needed, thereby achieving precise control of the airflow distribution characteristics, ensuring the continuity of the air guide surface while retaining the flexibility of local adjustment.
[0094] When changing from the first position to the second position, since the second ends of the first adjustment component 310 and the second adjustment component 320 both move inward and forward, motion interference can be avoided in the following three ways:
[0095] First, as Figure 4 As shown, the initial spacing between the two adjustment assemblies 300 can be expanded by increasing the lateral dimension of the mounting bracket 200 to reserve a safety margin for the outward movement of the first end;
[0096] Second, if Figure 5 As shown, a time-sequential driving method can be used to enable the first adjustment component 310 and the second adjustment component 320 to complete the forward extension action respectively. For example, the first adjustment component 310 completes the forward extension action first, and then the second adjustment component 320 starts to move, forming a dislocation avoidance mechanism.
[0097] Third, if Figure 6 As shown, the shape of the contact area of the adjustment component 300 can be optimized, and a physical avoidance structure can be formed during coordinated movement through chamfer design.
[0098] Specifically, through the coordinated operation of multiple adjustment components 300, the air guide structure can adapt to more complex air supply requirements and provide a variety of airflow direction options. The configuration of adjustment components 300 in different positions ensures that the adjustment of airflow direction is more precise and controllable, and can be flexibly adjusted according to specific needs.
[0099] In summary, during the movement of the adjustment assembly 300 from the first position to the second position, the first end of the adjustment assembly 300 serves as the primary fulcrum, achieving initial forward displacement through the linear sliding engagement of the first guide post 330 and the first guide slot 210. The linear extension of the first guide slot 210 ensures the linear accuracy of the movement of the first end of the adjustment assembly 300, and its parallel relationship with the mounting bracket 200 establishes a reference for the entire movement process.
[0100] The motion trajectory of the second end of the adjustment assembly 300 exhibits complex characteristics. The second guide post 340 first slides within the linear groove 221 of the second guide slot 220, moving forward in sync with the first end of the adjustment assembly 300. When the motion transitions to the arcuate groove 222, the first end of the adjustment assembly 300 is fixed, and the second guide post 340 begins to move along the arcuate groove 222. At this point, the second end of the adjustment assembly 300 undergoes rotational displacement around the first end of the adjustment assembly 300. The corresponding relationship between the geometric center of the arcuate groove 222 and the front endpoint of the first guide slot 210 ensures the accuracy of the rotational motion.
[0101] During this process, the first guide post 330 moves linearly along the first guide slot 210 and stops at the end of the first guide slot 210, providing a stable fulcrum for the entire adjustment assembly 300. The second guide post 340 undergoes a transition from linear to curvilinear motion, causing the second end of the adjustment assembly 300 to change its spatial position. The coordinated action of the first and second guide slots 210, 220 allows the closer ends of the adjustment assembly 300 to accurately extend forward, while the farther ends of the adjustment assembly 300 can be retracted backward, creating a spatial layout with a larger air supply angle.
