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 is movably disposed on the mounting bracket, with a first end of the adjustment component close to a middle portion of the mounting bracket and a second end of the adjustment component close to an edge of the mounting bracket;

[0007] When the adjusting assembly moves toward the front relative to the mounting bracket, both the first end of the adjusting assembly and the second end of the adjusting assembly move toward the front, and the first end of the adjusting assembly is located in front of the second end of the adjusting assembly.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the air guide structure achieves multi-angle air delivery. The air guide structure includes a mounting bracket and an adjustment component. The adjustment component adopts an asymmetric motion design. When the adjustment component moves forward relative to the mounting bracket, its first end near the middle of the mounting bracket and its second end near the edge produce differential displacement, forming a forward-protruding air guide surface.

[0009] In practice, when the drive motor propels the adjustment assembly forward, the first end of the adjustment assembly moves forward at a greater displacement than the second end, naturally positioning the first end in front of the second end. This non-parallel motion ensures that as air flows through the air guide structure, the central portion of the airflow gains greater forward momentum, while the edge airflow remains diffused, achieving a combined airflow effect.

[0010] It can be understood that compared with the overall translation or single-axis rotation air-guiding solutions in the prior art, the air-guiding structure of the embodiment of the present application realizes adaptive changes in the curvature of the air-guiding surface and multi-dimensional control of the airflow direction under the action of a single driving source by adjusting the design of differentiated displacements at both ends of the component.

[0011] In some embodiments of the present application, when the adjustment assembly is in the first position, the adjustment assembly is located inside the mounting bracket, and an extension direction of the adjustment assembly is parallel to an extension direction of the mounting bracket;

[0012] When the adjustment assembly is in the second position, at least a portion of the adjustment assembly extends out of the mounting bracket, and the first end of the adjustment assembly is located in front of the second end of the adjustment assembly.

[0013] When the adjustment component is in the first position, it is completely stored in the mounting bracket, keeping the overall structure compact; when switched to the second position, the adjustment component extends forward to form a protruding air-guiding curved surface. Through the asymmetric layout with the first end ahead of the second end, the air supply angle is expanded, and the combined air supply effect of middle airflow acceleration and edge airflow diffusion is achieved.

[0014] In some embodiments of the present application, the air guide structure is provided with a drive motor, and the drive motor can drive the adjustment component to rotate around the rotation axis relative to the mounting bracket.

[0015] The design of driving the adjustment component to rotate around the axis by the driving motor realizes the effect of switching the air guide structure between the storage position and the working position.

[0016] In some embodiments of the present application, the rotation axis of the adjustment component is located on a side of the second end of the adjustment component away from the first end of the adjustment component.

[0017] By setting the rotating shaft at the far end of the second end of the adjusting component, the second end of the adjusting component forms a restricted movement with a short lever arm, while the first end of the adjusting component obtains a large forward movement with a long lever arm. Through single-axis rotation, a stepped air-guiding surface can be automatically generated in which the first end of the adjusting component is significantly ahead of the second end of the adjusting component.

[0018] In some embodiments of the present application, when the adjustment component is in the first position, the rotation axis of the adjustment component and the arrangement direction of the adjustment component are parallel to the extension direction of the adjustment component.

[0019] The parallel alignment of the rotation axis and the extension direction of the adjustment assembly ensures that the adjustment assembly can be fully retracted into the mounting bracket, and the entire adjustment assembly remains parallel to the bracket, minimizing installation space. This not only avoids structural interference in the stowed state, but also provides a zero-load starting condition for the drive motor. It also ensures that the rotational motion of the adjustment assembly from the first position to the second position always follows the optimal transition path, reducing wasted travel and energy loss.

[0020] 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;

[0021] 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;

[0022] 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.

[0023] Multiple adjustment components can supply air to different areas respectively. The first adjustment component and the second adjustment component have different air supply areas respectively, which can expand the air supply area of the air guide structure and expand the air supply coverage area of the air treatment equipment.

[0024] 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 located at the edge of the mounting bracket;

[0025] The adjustment assembly includes a first guide post and a second guide post. The first guide post can be slidably disposed in the first guide groove, and the second guide post can be slidably disposed in the second guide groove.

[0026] The synergistic effect of the first guide groove in the middle of the mounting bracket and the second guide groove on the edge allows the first guide column to obtain a large stroke displacement while the second guide column is restricted by the short groove to produce a small deflection, ultimately driving the adjustment component to form a stepped air-guiding surface with the first end protruding forward and the second end lagging behind.

[0027] In some embodiments of the present application, the first guide groove and the second guide groove are coaxially arranged, and the length of the first guide groove is greater than the length of the second guide groove.

[0028] The coaxial arrangement of the first guide groove and the second guide groove can ensure the planar consistency of the motion trajectories of the two guide columns. The longer length of the first guide groove can allow the first guide column to obtain a longer effective stroke, forming a displacement difference with the restricted second guide column, thereby generating an aerodynamically protruding wind-guiding curved surface.

[0029] 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, wherein the wind guide blades are disposed on the front side of the supporting plate.

[0030] Efficient airflow organization can be achieved through the combined design of the supporting plate and the air guide blades. The supporting plate serves as a rigid base component to ensure the stability of the overall structure, while the arrayed air guide blades arranged on the front side form a multi-layer airflow channel.

[0031] 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.

[0032] 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, 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.

[0048] However, existing air handling equipment often uses integrated air guides or fixed-angle blade designs, which can only swing up and down or rotate left and right. This single movement severely limits the range of airflow adjustment. In actual use, users often feel that the direct airflow is too strong and uncomfortable, or the air supply angle is insufficient, affecting the cooling effect.

[0049] Therefore, there is an urgent need for an air guide structure solution that can achieve a larger air supply angle.

[0050] To address the technical issues of conventional air guides, which suffer from a single adjustment angle and uneven airflow distribution, this application provides an air guide structure that achieves multi-angle air delivery. The air guide structure includes a mounting bracket and an adjustment assembly. The adjustment assembly utilizes an asymmetric motion design. When the adjustment assembly moves forward relative to the mounting bracket, its first end near the center of the mounting bracket and its second end near the edge experience differential displacement, forming a protruding air guide curved surface.

[0051] In practice, when the drive motor propels the adjustment assembly forward, the first end of the adjustment assembly moves forward at a greater displacement than the second end, naturally positioning the first end in front of the second end. This non-parallel motion ensures that as air flows through the air guide structure, the central portion of the airflow gains greater forward momentum, while the edge airflow remains diffused, achieving a combined airflow effect.

[0052] It can be understood that compared with the overall translation or single-axis rotation air-guiding solutions in the prior art, the air-guiding structure of the embodiment of the present application realizes adaptive changes in the curvature of the air-guiding surface and multi-dimensional control of the airflow direction under the action of a single driving source by adjusting the design of differentiated displacements at both ends of the component.

[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] In order to better explain the air guide structure provided by this embodiment, the improved structure of the air treatment equipment is first described in detail below.

[0061] 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.

[0062] See also Figure 1-Figure 7 , 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.

[0063] 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 .

[0064] The mounting bracket 200 may be of a frame design, with a horizontal frame and a vertical frame forming a rigid support platform.

[0065] The adjustment assembly 300 may be movably disposed on the mounting bracket 200 . A first end of the adjustment assembly 300 may be close to the middle of the mounting bracket 200 , and a second end of the adjustment assembly 300 may be close to an edge of the mounting bracket 200 .

[0066] When the adjustment assembly 300 moves toward the front relative to the mounting bracket 200 , both the first end and the second end of the adjustment assembly 300 can move toward the front, and the first end of the adjustment assembly 300 is located in front of the second end of the adjustment assembly 300 .

[0067] Because the first end of the adjustment assembly 300 is located near the center of the mounting bracket 200, it experiences less constraint during movement, enabling significant forward movement. The second end of the adjustment assembly 300 is constrained by the edge structure of the mounting bracket 200, maintaining a relatively fixed range and trajectory of movement. After movement is complete, the first end of the adjustment assembly 300 naturally positions itself forward of the second end of the adjustment assembly 300, forming a stepped air guide layout.

[0068] The two ends of the adjustment component 300 form a matching relationship with different areas of the mounting bracket 200, resulting in a difference in displacement at the two ends. This asymmetric layout can cause the two ends of the adjustment component 300 to form a front-to-back position relationship, thereby forming the required wind-guiding curved surface and achieving differentiated wind guidance.

[0069] The adjustment assembly 300 can be in a first position and a second position. When the adjustment assembly 300 is in the first position, the adjustment assembly 300 is entirely accommodated in the inner space of the mounting bracket 200 , and the extension direction of the adjustment assembly 300 remains parallel to the mounting bracket 200 .

[0070] This layout allows the air guide structure to maintain a compact overall appearance when not in operation, which is beneficial for equipment integration and space optimization. The extension direction of the adjustment component 300 is consistent with the mounting bracket 200, ensuring structural coordination and overall appearance in the stored state.

[0071] When the adjustment assembly 300 is in the second position, at least a portion of the adjustment assembly 300 can extend out of the mounting bracket 200, and the first end of the adjustment assembly 300 is located in front of the second end of the adjustment assembly 300. In this operating state, the first end of the adjustment assembly 300 is positioned forward relative to the second end of the adjustment assembly 300, forming a wind-guiding curved surface with specific geometric characteristics.

[0072] This forward-protruding structural arrangement changes the trajectory of airflow, providing a physical basis for achieving differentiated airflow distribution. During position transitions, the adjustment assembly 300 follows a pre-set trajectory to transition from the parallel storage state to the operating state. This process ensures both the reliability of the structural transition and the stability of the airflow guidance performance.

[0073] 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.

[0074] 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.

[0075] The rotation axis of the adjustment assembly 300 can be positioned at the second end of the adjustment assembly 300, away from the first end of the adjustment assembly 300. This allows for differential displacement of the two ends of the adjustment assembly 300 during rotation. When the drive motor 400 is operating, it applies torque, causing the first end of the adjustment assembly 300 to rotate about the axis at a larger radius. However, the second end of the adjustment assembly 300, being closer to the rotation axis, experiences a relatively smaller movement. This asymmetric rotational motion can create a differentiated air guide curved surface.

[0076] The rotation axis, located on the side of the second end of the adjustment assembly 300 that is away from the first end of the adjustment assembly 300, enables the second end of the adjustment assembly 300 to produce a combined displacement in both the forward and outward directions during movement. When the drive motor 400 drives the adjustment assembly 300 to rotate about the rotation axis, the second end of the adjustment assembly 300 not only produces an outward displacement component but also moves forward.

[0077] The movement of the second end of the adjustment component 300 toward the front and outside can effectively expand the lateral coverage of the wind guide surface, so that the airflow can diffuse outward at a wider angle.

[0078] In summary, the outboard placement of the rotating shaft creates a lever effect. The first end of the adjustment assembly 300 acts as the distal end of the lever arm, achieving a larger displacement. The second end of the adjustment assembly 300, through its eccentric position at the axis, generates a specific motion trajectory. This single rotational motion achieves three-dimensional air guide surface shaping, simplifying the drive mechanism and improving airflow control.

[0079] When the adjustment assembly 300 is in the first position, the rotation axis of the adjustment assembly 300 and the arrangement direction of the adjustment assembly 300 can be parallel to the extension direction of the adjustment assembly 300. This geometric relationship ensures the structural coordination of the adjustment assembly 300 in the stored state. The parallel arrangement of the rotation axis and the extension direction of the assembly allows the adjustment assembly 300 to rotate along an optimized path, avoiding interference with the mounting bracket 200 or other adjacent components.

[0080] 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. The two drive motors 400 are connected to the first adjustment assembly 310 and the second adjustment assembly 320, respectively, and each drive motor 400 drives the corresponding adjustment assembly 300 to move.

[0081] 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 motors 400, 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.

[0082] 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.

[0083] 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.

[0084] When the first adjustment assembly 310 and the second adjustment assembly 320 are in the second position, the ends of the first adjustment assembly 310 and the second adjustment assembly 320 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.

[0085] The first and second adjustment assemblies 310, 320 extend forward synchronously via their respective rotational axes, 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 airflow turbulence.

[0086] 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.

[0087] 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:

[0088] 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;

[0089] 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.

[0090] 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.

[0091] like Figure 7 As shown, 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.

[0092] The first guide slot 210 may 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 first guide slot 210 may allow the first end of the adjustment assembly 300 to move relatively significantly.

[0093] The second guide slot 220 can be provided at the edge of the mounting bracket 200 to control the motion trajectory of the second end of the adjustment assembly 300. The second guide slot 220 can provide necessary motion constraints for the second end of the adjustment assembly 300.

[0094] 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 .

[0095] The first guide slot 210 can be coaxially arranged with the second guide slot 220. The central axes of the first guide slot 210 and the second guide slot 220 are kept parallel and aligned, ensuring the trajectory coordination of the adjustment assembly 300 during movement, so that the first guide post 330 and the second guide post 340 can move synchronously according to a predetermined spatial relationship.

[0096] The length of the first guide slot 210 can be greater than the length of the second guide slot 220. The longer first guide slot 210 provides a greater range of motion for the first guide post 330, while the shorter second guide slot 220 appropriately constrains the movement of the second guide post 340. This length difference allows the first end of the adjustment assembly 300 to naturally move more than the second end, ultimately achieving a curved air guide surface.

[0097] During movement of the adjustment assembly 300 from the first position to the second position, the second end of the adjustment assembly 300 forms a primary kinematic pair with the second guide slot 220 of the mounting bracket 200 via the second guide post 340. The first end of the adjustment assembly 300 forms a secondary guide mechanism with the first guide slot 210 via the first guide post 330. At the initial stage of movement, the force applied by the drive motor 400 is transmitted through the second guide post 340, causing the second guide post 340 to slide within the second guide slot 220 at the edge. The special arrangement of the second guide slot 220 creates a constrained motion trajectory for the second guide post 340, resulting in a smaller movement of the second end of the adjustment assembly 300 than the first end.

[0098] At the same time, the movement of the second end of the adjustment assembly 300, through the rigid connection of the adjustment assembly 300 body, drives the first end of the adjustment assembly 300 in a coordinated manner, causing the first guide post 330 to slide along the trajectory of the first guide slot 210. Because the first guide slot 210 is located in the central area of the mounting bracket 200, the small driving displacement of the second end of the adjustment assembly 300 is converted into a larger forward protrusion of the first end of the adjustment assembly 300 through the lever. This provides the first guide post 330 with a larger displacement space, driving the first end of the adjustment assembly 300 to move significantly forward.

[0099] As the movement continues, the second guide post 340 reaches the end of its travel in the second guide slot 220, and the first guide post 330 simultaneously reaches the predetermined position in the first guide slot 210. At this point, a stable front-to-back position difference is formed between the first and second ends of the adjustment assembly 300, with the first end significantly protruding in front of the second end, and the entire assembly is locked in the second working position.

[0100] 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.

[0101] 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.

[0102] 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.

[0103] 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.

[0104] 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.
