[0053] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.
[0054] The following disclosure provides numerous different embodiments or examples for implementing various structures of the invention. To simplify the disclosure, specific examples of components and arrangements are described below. These are merely examples and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention. Furthermore, reference numerals and / or letters may be repeated in different examples. Such repetition is for simplification and clarity and does not in itself indicate a relationship between the various embodiments and / or arrangements discussed.
[0055] The air guide component 100 according to a first aspect of the present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0056] It is worth noting that the air guide component 100 of the present invention is used in an air supply device to adjust the air output of the air supply device. Optionally, the air supply device includes, but is not limited to, wall-mounted air conditioners, floor-standing air conditioners, portable air conditioners, window air conditioners, fresh air systems, ducted air conditioners, etc.
[0057] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the air guide component 100, such as Figure 1 As shown, the air guiding component 100 includes: an air guiding plate assembly 1, which includes a plurality of air guiding plates 10 that can move relative to each other, each air guiding plate 10 having a ventilation area 10a through which airflow can flow.
[0058] It is also worth noting that the air guide plate 10 can guide the airflow by causing the airflow to flow along the extension direction of the ventilation area 10a; or, the air guide plate 10 can also change the extension direction of the ventilation area 10a by swinging or rotating, so as to adjust the airflow outlet direction and thus guide the airflow; or, the air guide plate 10 can also use its thickness side surface to guide the airflow out, thereby adjusting the airflow outlet direction, all of which fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0059] It is also worth noting that the ventilation area 10a on the air guide plate 10 can be arranged in various ways, and can be selected according to the needs of the air guide component 100, without limitation. Optionally, the air guide plate 10 can have multiple micro-holes that penetrate along the thickness direction of the air guide plate 10. The area where the micro-holes are located is the ventilation area 10a, and the area without micro-holes is the solid area 10b. By setting micro-holes on the air guide plate 10, the airflow is dispersed into multiple small airflows through the micro-holes, reducing the discomfort of the airflow directly impacting the human body, achieving low-wind-feel air delivery, and improving the air delivery effect. Alternatively, the air guide plate 10 can also include multiple grilles arranged along the length direction of the air guide plate 10, with open gaps between adjacent grilles to form the ventilation area 10a, and the grilles are constructed as the solid area 10b. The airflow flowing through the gaps in the grilles can reduce the discomfort of direct impact on the human body and improve the air delivery effect.
[0060] In this embodiment of the invention, the air guide plate assembly 1 has a stacked state in which multiple air guide plates 10 are stacked along the thickness direction of the air guide plates 10. In the stacked state, at least a portion of the ventilation area 10a on any one air guide plate 10 is blocked by the solid areas 10b on the other air guide plates 10. When airflow passes through the ventilation area 10a of one air guide plate 10, it will also be blocked by the solid areas 10b on the other air guide plates 10. In the stacked state, the multiple air guide plates 10 stacked on each other together form a solid plate that blocks the airflow and prevents the gas from passing through.
[0061] Optionally, in the stacked state, the air guide plate assembly 1 can be configured such that a portion of the ventilation area 10a on any air guide plate 10 is blocked by the solid areas 10b on the other air guide plates 10, thus forming a solid plate that blocks airflow; or, all ventilation areas 10a on any air guide plate 10 are blocked by the solid areas 10b on the other air guide plates 10, thus forming the entire air guide plate that blocks airflow. However, regardless of the above, the air guide plate assembly 1 has the function of blocking airflow in the stacked state.
[0062] by Figure 1 The example shown is an air guide plate assembly 1 with two air guide plates 10, which will be used for illustration. Figure 1 The dotted line with arrows indicates the airflow direction. In the air guide plate assembly 1, the ventilation area 10a of the inner guide plate is blocked by the solid area 10b of the outer guide plate. Part of the airflow flowing into the air guide plate assembly 1 is blocked by the solid area 10b of the inner guide plate, while the other part passes through the ventilation area 10a of the inner guide plate. The airflow passing through the ventilation area 10a of the inner guide plate is blocked by the solid area 10b of the outer guide plate. In the stacked state, the air guide plate assembly 1 forms a structure that blocks the airflow.
[0063] Understandable, Figure 1 The air guide plate assembly 1 shown has two air guide plates 10 for illustrative purposes only. There may also be three or more air guide plates 10, which is also within the scope of protection of this invention.
[0064] The multiple air guide plates 10 of the present invention can move relative to each other to form a stacked state. Optionally, the multiple air guide plates 10 can rotate relative to each other, or alternatively, the multiple air guide plates 10 can also translate relative to each other. The movement mode of the air guide plates 10 can be selected according to actual needs and is not limited here.
[0065] The air guide plate assembly 1 of the present invention has at least an air guiding state that allows airflow to pass through the ventilation area 10a on the air guide plate 10, and a stacked state that blocks the flow of airflow. The air guide component 100 of the present invention can realize a variety of air supply functions.
[0066] For example, at least one air guide plate 10 is provided at the outlet of the airflow, and the airflow flows through the ventilation area 10a of at least one air guide plate 10 to flow out from the outlet for air delivery. The air guide plate 10 guides the airflow to achieve directional air delivery.
[0067] For example, multiple air guide plates 10 are stacked at the air outlet to block the outlet and prevent airflow from exiting. In this case, the air guide plate assembly 1 acts as a door, completely sealing the air outlet. An air supply device equipped with the air guide component 100 of this invention can close the air outlet communicating with the outside through the air guide plate assembly 1, thereby protecting the interior of the air supply device and improving its cleanliness and safety. Furthermore, because the air guide plate assembly 1 is stacked to close the air outlet, the air supply device can omit the door for opening and closing the air outlet, thus simplifying the structure, reducing structural complexity, lowering the manufacturing cost of the air supply device, and improving manufacturing efficiency.
[0068] For example, multiple air guide plates 10 are stacked at the outlet of the airflow, partially obscuring the outlet while leaving the rest open. The airflow can only exit from the open portion of the outlet. In this case, the air guide plate assembly 1 can guide the airflow. Furthermore, since the air guide plate assembly 1 only opens the outlet, the airflow area is reduced, increasing the airflow velocity and extending the airflow path. An air supply device equipped with the air guide component 100 of this invention can guide airflow in a set direction and increase the air supply distance of the air supply device.
[0069] In addition, since the air guide plate 10 can move relative to each other, when the air guide plate assembly 1 is in a stacked state, the air guide plate assembly 1 can also maintain the stacked state and move, thereby changing the open area of the outlet section and the angle of the open section, so that the airflow can have more outlet angles, which can further improve the airflow outlet effect.
[0070] For example, multiple air guide plates 10 are stacked at the outlet of the airflow, partially blocking the outlet. The other part of the outlet is provided with air guide plates 10, so that the airflow can only flow out from the ventilation area 10a of the open part of the air guide plate 10 at the outlet, further enhancing the guiding effect of the airflow. In addition, the air guide plate 10 can move, thereby changing the orientation of the ventilation area 10a, so that the airflow can exit at multiple angles, which can further improve the airflow exit effect.
[0071] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the air guide component 100 not only guides the airflow, but also has a stacked state that blocks the airflow. Thus, the air guide component 100 can achieve multiple air delivery functions, including but not limited to directional airflow, shut-off airflow, and localized airflow. Compared to achieving multiple air delivery functions by setting different components, the design of combining multiple air guides 10 to achieve multiple air delivery functions reduces the structural complexity of the air guide component 100, helps save manufacturing costs, and improves production efficiency.
[0072] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 2 As shown, the air guide plate 10 is rotatably arranged, and the rotation axis a of the air guide plate 10 extends along the length direction of the air guide plate 10. Multiple air guide plates 10 have the same length direction and are coaxially arranged, allowing them to rotate relative to each other. The multiple air guide plates 10 are coaxially arranged, and the ventilation areas 10a of different air guide plates 10 are arranged along the thickness direction. The air guide plates 10 can be rotated into a stacked state. Compared to relative translation and other motion methods, the relative rotation motion of the air guide plates 10 saves space in the arrangement of the motion space, thereby reducing the volume of the air guide component 100, facilitating the miniaturization design of the air guide component 100, and saving on the manufacturing cost of the air guide component 100.
[0073] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 2 As shown, there are two air guide plates 10, namely the first air guide plate 11 and the second air guide plate 12, which are rotatably coupled.
[0074] The first air guide plate 11 and the second air guide plate 12 can be rotated relative to each other to a position where they are stacked along the thickness direction of the air guide plate 10, so that the air guide plate assembly 1 is in a stacked state. In the stacked state, the ventilation area 10a of the first air guide plate 11 is blocked by the solid area 10b on the second air guide plate 12, and the ventilation area 10a on the second air guide plate 12 is blocked by the solid area 10b on the first air guide plate 11. The first air guide plate 11 and the second air guide plate 12 together block the airflow.
[0075] It is worth noting that the rotational fit refers to the shaft-hole fit between the first air guide plate 11 and the second air guide plate 12. This design eliminates the need for each air guide plate 10 to be individually rotated with other mechanisms. The presence of two air guide plates 10 that are mutually rotated and fitted effectively simplifies the structure, eliminates excessive rotational fit mechanisms, and reduces the manufacturing cost of the air guide component 100. Furthermore, the reliability of the operation caused by only the mutual rotational fit between the first air guide plate 11 and the second air guide plate 12 is low, and the risk of fit failure is relatively low.
[0076] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 2 As shown, in the stacked state, the first air guide plate 11 is disposed outside the second air guide plate 12, that is, the airflow first passes through the ventilation area 10a of the second air guide plate 12, and then is blocked by the solid area 10b of the first air guide plate 11.
[0077] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the air guide component 100 also includes a first drive component 2, which is a power component. The first drive component 2 drives the first air guide plate 11 to rotate, and the first air guide plate 11 is linked to the second air guide plate 12 to rotate.
[0078] The first air guide plate 11 can drive the second air guide plate 12 to rotate. The first air guide plate 11 is the driving member, and the second air guide plate 12 is the driven member. The first air guide plate 11 can drive the second air guide plate 12 to rotate synchronously. The first air guide plate 11 can also rotate independently relative to the second air guide plate 12, thereby realizing the switching between the first air guide plate 11 and the second air guide plate 12 in a stacked state and a non-stacked state. Optionally, the first air guide plate 11 can rotate relative to the second air guide plate 12 to move to a stacked state in which the first air guide plate 11 and the second air guide plate 12 are stacked in the thickness direction; or, the first air guide plate 11 can rotate relative to the second air guide plate 12 to disengage from the stacked state; or, alternatively, the first air guide plate 11 can also rotate together with the second air guide plate 12 in the stacked state; or, the first air guide plate 11 can also rotate together with the second air guide plate 12 in the non-stacked state.
[0079] It is worth noting that the rotation of the first air guide plate 11 connected to the second air guide plate 12 is interpreted in a broad sense. The movement of the first air guide plate 11 can stimulate the rotation of the second air guide plate 12, which means that the first air guide plate 11 is linked to the rotation of the second air guide plate 12.
[0080] For example, a slider can be provided on the first air guide plate 11 and a groove can be provided on the second air guide plate 12. A sliding rod is fitted in the groove. When the slider moves in the groove, the first air guide plate 11 rotates relative to the second air guide plate 12. When the groove stops at the end of the groove, the movement of the first air guide plate 11 can drive the second air guide plate 12 to rotate.
[0081] For example, a slider can be provided on the first air guide plate 11 and a groove can be provided on the second air guide plate 12. The slider is fitted in the groove and a protrusion that can cooperate with the slider is provided in the groove. When the slider stops against the protrusion, the movement of the first air guide plate 11 can drive the second air guide plate 12 to rotate. When the slider slides past the protrusion in the groove, the first air guide plate 11 rotates relative to the second air guide plate 12.
[0082] For example, a gear may be provided on the first air guide plate 11 and a rack may be provided on the second air guide plate 12. The gear and rack of the first air guide plate 11 and the second air guide plate 12 are engaged, and the first air guide plate 11 can rotate relative to the second air guide plate 12. When the gear and the end of the rack mesh, the first air guide plate 11 can drive the second air guide plate 12 to rotate.
[0083] In some embodiments of the present invention, the first air guide plate 11 and the second air guide plate 12 are connected by friction damping, and the driving force of the first driving component 2 is greater than the frictional force between the first air guide plate 11 and the second air guide plate 12.
[0084] The first air guide plate 11 and the second air guide plate 12 are connected by friction damping. There is a frictional force between the first air guide plate 11 and the second air guide plate 12 that allows the second air guide plate 12 to rotate. When the first drive assembly 2 drives the first air guide plate 11 to rotate, the second air guide plate 12 rotates with the first air guide plate 11 under the drive of the frictional force. The driving force of the first drive assembly 2 is greater than the frictional force between the first air guide plate 11 and the second air guide plate 12. When the second air guide plate 12 is fixed in a certain position, the second air guide plate 12 remains relatively stationary. The driving force on the first air guide plate 11 is greater than the frictional force between the first air guide plate 11 and the second air guide plate 12. The first air guide plate 11 can then overcome the frictional force and rotate under the drive of the first drive assembly 2, thus rotating relative to the second air guide plate 12.
[0085] By connecting the first air guide plate 11 and the second air guide plate 12 with friction damping, compared with other linkage mechanisms, the friction damping connection between the first air guide plate 11 and the second air guide plate 12 is easy to arrange, which can effectively simplify the structure, save too many linkage mechanisms, thereby reducing the production cost of the air guide component 100. In addition, the movement stability between the first air guide plate 11 and the second air guide plate 12 is strong, which can improve the working reliability of the air guide component 100.
[0086] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 3 and Figure 7 As shown, the first air guide plate 11 has a first rotating part 111 at one end of its length, and the first rotating part 111 includes an extension section 1111; the second air guide plate 12 has a second rotating part 121 at one end of its length, and the second rotating part 121 has a mating hole 1211. The extension section 1111 is interference-fitted into the mating hole 1211. The first air guide plate 11 and the second air guide plate 12 are connected by friction damping through the interference fit between the extension section 1111 and the mating hole 1211.
[0087] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the axis of the extension section 1111 and the axis of the mating hole 1211 coincide with the rotation axis a. Under the drive of the first drive assembly 2, the first air guide plate 11 rotates along the axis of the extension section 1111, and the first air guide plate 11 and the second air guide plate 12 achieve coaxial rotation. The first air guide plate 11 and the second air guide plate 12 are mated with the hole shaft of the extension section 1111 through the mating hole 1211, so that the first air guide plate 11 can rotate relative to the second air guide plate 12 along the rotation axis a. By setting the axis of the extension section 1111 and the axis of the mating hole 1211 on the straight line where the rotation axis a is located, the rotational deviation of the first air guide plate 11 and the second air guide plate 12 can be avoided, the rotational stability of the first air guide plate 11 and the second air guide plate 12 can be improved, and the working reliability of the air guide component 100 is high.
[0088] In some embodiments of the present invention, in a stacked state, the first air guide plate 11 is disposed outside the second air guide plate 12, such as... Figure 7 As shown, the first rotating part 111 is also located outside the second rotating part 121, that is, in the length direction of the air guide plate assembly 1, the first rotating part 111 is arranged away from the center of the air guide plate assembly 1 relative to the second rotating part 121.
[0089] In some specific embodiments, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the length of the air guide plate assembly 1 extends in the vertical direction. A first rotating part 111 is provided at the upper end of the first air guide plate 11, and a second rotating part 121 is provided at the upper end of the second air guide plate 12. The first rotating part 111 is located above the second rotating part 121. An extension section 1111 extending downward is provided in the first rotating part 111, and the extension section 1111 is interference-fitted into the mating hole 1211 located below.
[0090] The first air guide plate 11 and the second air guide plate 12 are connected by an interference fit between the extension section 1111 and the mating hole 1211 to achieve friction damping. It is understandable that excessive or insufficient friction between the extension section 1111 and the mating hole 1211 is detrimental to the normal operation of the air guide plate assembly 1. Excessive friction between the extension section 1111 and the mating hole 1211 places higher power demands on the first drive assembly 2, increasing manufacturing costs, and also causing more severe wear between the extension section 1111 and the mating hole 1211, shortening the service life of the air guide plate assembly 1. Conversely, insufficient friction between the extension section 1111 and the mating hole 1211 can easily lead to failure of the fit between the first air guide plate 11 and the second air guide plate 12, resulting in lower reliability of the air guide plate assembly 1.
[0091] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 6 and Figure 4 As shown, the extension section 1111 includes a plurality of elastic snaps 1112. Each elastic snap 1112 includes a snap end 1112a protruding toward the wall of the mating hole 1211. The snap end 1112a elastically abuts against the wall of the mating hole 1211 to achieve an interference fit between the extension section 1111 and the mating hole 1211.
[0092] Multiple elastic clips 1112 are spaced apart along the radial direction of the extension 1111. The elastic clips 1112 can generate elastic deformation along the radial direction of the extension 1111. When the extension 1111 extends into the mating hole 1211, the elastic clips 1112 are compressed and deformed, and the clip end 1112a abuts against the hole wall of the mating hole 1211 to achieve frictional damping connection between the first air guide plate 11 and the second air guide plate 12.
[0093] The above-described end friction damping connection of the first guide plate 11 and the second guide plate 12 is only for illustrative purposes. Those skilled in the art, after reading the above technical solution, can obviously apply the friction damping connection between the sides of the first guide plate 11 and the second guide plate 12 in the length direction to the technical solution of the present invention, which also falls within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0094] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 7 and Figure 6As shown, a first sliding portion 122 is provided at one end of the length of the second air guide plate 12. The air guide component 100 of the present invention is used in an air supply device, and as shown... Figure 5 As shown, the air guide component 100 is adapted to cooperate with the air outlet frame 8. The air outlet frame 8 is provided with a first sliding groove 81 extending along the rotation direction of the air guide plate 10. The first sliding part 122 is slidably fitted in the first sliding groove 81 to limit the rotation range of the second air guide plate 12.
[0095] When the first sliding part 122 can slide along the first sliding groove 81, the second air guide plate 12 can be driven to rotate by the first air guide plate 11. When the first sliding part 122 moves to the end of the first sliding groove 81, the second air guide plate 12 is limited and cannot continue to rotate, and the first air guide plate 11 can rotate relative to the second air guide plate 12. By setting the first sliding groove 81 to cooperate with the first sliding part 122, on the one hand, the second air guide plate 12 is restricted from moving stably in the direction of rotation, improving the movement stability of the second air guide plate 12; on the other hand, the rotation range of the second air guide plate 12 with the first air guide plate 11 can be limited, thereby restricting the movement range of the second air guide plate 12, and thus realizing the rotation of the first air guide plate 11 relative to the second air guide plate 12.
[0096] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 6 As shown, a second sliding part 112 is provided at one end of the length of the first air guide plate 11, and a second sliding groove 123 is provided at one end of the length of the second air guide plate 12, as shown. Figure 7 As shown, the second sliding part 112 is slidably fitted in the second sliding groove 123, which extends along the rotation direction of the first air guide plate 11 to limit the relative rotation range of the first air guide plate 11 and the second air guide plate 12.
[0097] By setting the second sliding groove 123 to cooperate with the second sliding part 112, not only can the rotation path of the first air guide plate 11 be restricted and the motion stability of the first air guide plate 11 be improved, but the relative rotation range of the first air guide plate 11 relative to the second air guide plate 12 can also be restricted. When the second air guide plate 12 is limited, the position of the first air guide plate 11 can also be limited by the limitation between the first air guide plate 11 and the second air guide plate 12, which can eliminate the need for a separate limiting structure and reduce manufacturing costs.
[0098] In addition, the cooperation between the second sliding part 112 and the second sliding groove 123 can also realize the rotation of the first air guide plate 11 and the second air guide plate 12. When the second sliding part 112 moves in the second sliding groove 123, the first air guide plate 11 rotates relative to the second air guide plate 12. When the second sliding part 112 stops at the end of the second sliding groove 123, the rotation of the first air guide plate 11 can drive the second air guide plate 12 to rotate.
[0099] The following is for reference. Figures 3-7 The movement process of the first air guide plate 11 and the second air guide plate 12 is briefly described in a specific embodiment of the present invention.
[0100] A first rotating part 111 is provided at the upper end of the first air guide plate 11, and a second rotating part 121 is provided at the upper end of the second air guide plate 12. A mating hole 1211 is provided on the second rotating part 121. The first rotating part 111 is located above the second rotating part 121. An extension section 1111 extending downward is provided on the first rotating part 111, and the extension section 1111 is interference-fitted into the mating hole 1211.
[0101] The air guide component 100 is adapted to cooperate with the air outlet frame 8. The air outlet frame 8 is provided with a first sliding groove 81 extending along the rotation direction of the air guide plate 10. The two ends of the first sliding groove 81 are a first end and a second end. A first sliding part 122 is provided on the second rotating part 121, and the first sliding part 122 is slidably fitted in the first sliding groove 81. A second sliding groove 123 extending along the rotation direction of the first air guide plate 11 is also provided on the second rotating part 121, and the two ends of the second sliding groove 123 are a third end and a fourth end. A second sliding part 112 is provided on the first rotating part 111, and the second sliding part 112 is slidably fitted in the second sliding groove 123.
[0102] When the first sliding part 122 is located at the first end, the first air guide plate 11 is retracted relative to the air outlet frame 8; when the first sliding part 122 is located at the second end, the first air guide plate 11 is unfolded relative to the air outlet frame 8. When the second sliding part 112 is located at the third end, the first air guide plate 11 and the second air guide plate 12 are stacked, and the air guide plate assembly 1 is in a stacked state; when the second sliding part 112 is located at the fourth end, the first air guide plate 11 and the second air guide plate 12 are unfolded, and the air guide plate assembly 1 is in a non-stacked state.
[0103] In the initial position, the air guide plate assembly 1 is in a stacked state, with the first air guide plate 11 and the second air guide plate 12 stacked together. At this time, the first sliding part 122 is located at the first end, and the second sliding part 112 is located at the third end.
[0104] When the first drive assembly 2 drives the first air guide plate 11 to rotate in the forward direction, the first air guide plate 11 and the second air guide plate 12 are connected to each other through frictional damping. The second air guide plate 12 rotates with the first air guide plate 11, and the second sliding part 112 is held at the third end. The first sliding part 122 slides along the first sliding groove 81 toward the second end. The first air guide plate 11 and the second air guide plate 12 have strong motion stability. During this movement, the air guide plate assembly 1 always maintains a stacked state.
[0105] When the first sliding part 122 slides to the second end of the first sliding groove 81, the first sliding groove 81 limits the second air guide plate 12. The second air guide plate 12 remains stationary relative to the air outlet frame 8. The first driving assembly 2 continues to drive the first air guide plate 11 to rotate in the forward direction. The driving force on the first air guide plate 11 is greater than the frictional force between the first air guide plate 11 and the second air guide plate 12, so the first air guide plate 11 can overcome the frictional force and continue to rotate. The first air guide plate 11 rotates relative to the second air guide plate 12. The second sliding part 112 slides in the second sliding groove 123 toward the fourth end, and the first air guide plate 11 moves stably. During this movement, the air guide plate assembly 1 disengages from the stacked state.
[0106] When the second sliding part 112 slides to the fourth end of the second sliding groove 123, the second sliding groove 123 limits the first air guide plate 11. The first air guide plate 11 and the second air guide plate 12 are both stationary relative to the air outlet frame 8, and the air guide plate assembly 1 moves to the limit extension position.
[0107] Next, when the first drive assembly 2 drives the first guide plate 11 to rotate in the reverse direction, the resistance of the first sliding groove 81 to the first sliding part 122 disappears, allowing the first guide plate 11 to drive the second guide plate 12 to move. Therefore, the first guide plate 11 can drive the second guide plate 12 to rotate in the reverse direction in a non-overlapping state, and the first sliding part 122 slides along the first sliding groove 81 toward the first end. The movement stability of the first guide plate 11 and the second guide plate 12 is strong. During this movement, the guide plate assembly 1 always maintains a non-overlapping state.
[0108] When the first sliding part 122 slides to the first end of the first sliding groove 81, the first sliding groove 81 limits the second air guide plate 12. The second air guide plate 12 remains stationary relative to the air outlet frame 8. The first driving assembly 2 continues to drive the first air guide plate 11 to rotate in the opposite direction. The driving force on the first air guide plate 11 is greater than the frictional force between the first air guide plate 11 and the second air guide plate 12, so the first air guide plate 11 can overcome the frictional force and continue to rotate. The first air guide plate 11 rotates relative to the second air guide plate 12. The second sliding part 112 slides in the second sliding groove 123 toward the third end, and the first air guide plate 11 moves stably. During this movement, the air guide plate assembly 1 changes from a non-stacked state to a stacked state.
[0109] When the second sliding part 112 slides to the third end of the second sliding groove 123, the second sliding groove 123 limits the first air guide plate 11. The first air guide plate 11 and the second air guide plate 12 are both stationary relative to the air outlet frame 8. At this time, the air guide plate assembly 1 returns to its initial position and remains in a stacked state.
[0110] It is worth noting that the cooperation between the second sliding part 112 and the second sliding groove 123 can also enable the first air guide plate 11 to rotate in conjunction with the second air guide plate 12. Even when the cooperation between the extension section 1111 and the mating hole 1211 fails, the rotation of the first air guide plate 11 and the second air guide plate 12 can still be guaranteed, thus improving the working reliability of the air guide component 100. The movement process of the first air guide plate 11 and the second air guide plate 12 when the cooperation between the extension section 1111 and the mating hole 1211 fails is briefly described below.
[0111] In the initial position, the air guide plate assembly 1 is in a stacked state, with the first air guide plate 11 and the second air guide plate 12 stacked together. At this time, the first sliding part 122 is located at the first end, and the second sliding part 112 is located at the third end.
[0112] When the first drive assembly 2 drives the first air guide plate 11 to rotate in the forward direction, the second sliding part 112 slides in the second sliding groove 123 towards the fourth end, and the first air guide plate 11 rotates stably relative to the second air guide plate 12. During this movement, the air guide plate assembly 1 disengages from the stacked state.
[0113] When the second sliding part 112 slides to the fourth end of the second sliding groove 123, the second sliding groove 123 limits the first air guide plate 11. At this time, the first air guide plate 11 is stationary relative to the second air guide plate 12. The first driving assembly 2 continues to drive the first air guide plate 11 to rotate in the forward direction. The second air guide plate 12 rotates with the first air guide plate 11, and the first sliding part 122 slides along the first sliding groove 81 toward the second end. The first air guide plate 11 and the second air guide plate 12 have strong motion stability. During this movement, the air guide plate assembly 1 always remains in a non-stacked state.
[0114] When the first sliding part 122 slides to the second end of the first sliding groove 81, the first sliding groove 81 limits the second air guide plate 12. The second air guide plate 12 remains stationary relative to the air outlet frame 8, and the first air guide plate 11 also remains stationary relative to the air outlet frame 8. The air guide plate assembly 1 moves to the limit extension position.
[0115] Next, when the first drive assembly 2 drives the first air guide plate 11 to rotate in the reverse direction, the second sliding part 112 slides in the second sliding groove 123 towards the third end. The second air guide plate 12 remains stationary relative to the air outlet frame 8, and the first air guide plate 11 rotates stably relative to the second air guide plate 12. During this movement, the air guide plate assembly 1 changes from a non-stacked state to a stacked state.
[0116] When the second sliding part 112 slides to the third end of the second sliding groove 123, the second sliding groove 123 limits the first air guide plate 11. The first air guide plate 11 does not move relative to the second air guide plate 12, and at this time the air guide plate assembly 1 is in a stacked state.
[0117] The first drive assembly 2 continues to drive the first air guide plate 11 to rotate in the opposite direction. The second air guide plate 12 rotates in the opposite direction under the drive of the first air guide plate 11, and the first sliding part 122 slides along the first sliding groove 81 toward the first end. During this movement, the air guide plate assembly 1 always remains in a stacked state.
[0118] When the first sliding part 122 slides to the first end of the first sliding groove 81, the first sliding groove 81 limits the second air guide plate 12. The first air guide plate 11 and the second air guide plate 12 are both stationary relative to the air outlet frame 8. At this time, the air guide plate assembly 1 returns to its initial position and remains in a stacked state.
[0119] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 3 and Figure 7 As shown, a first sliding part 122 is provided on the second rotating part 121. The first sliding part 122 is constructed as a sliding column extending along the length direction of the air guide plate assembly 1. A first sliding groove 81 is fitted above the air guide plate assembly 1, so the first sliding part 122 extends upward. Correspondingly, as... Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, a clearance notch 113 is provided on the first rotating part 111 to avoid the first sliding part 122. In the stacked state, the first sliding part 122 is fitted into the clearance notch 113. By providing the clearance notch 113, the collision loss between the first sliding part 122 and the first rotating part 111 can be reduced, the service life of the air guide plate assembly 1 can be extended, and the working stability of the air guide plate assembly 1 can be improved.
[0120] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 2 As shown, the air guide component 100 also includes a switch door 3, which is rotatably mounted. The length direction of the switch door 3 is consistent with the length direction of the air guide plate 10, and it is coaxially mounted with the air guide plate 10, meaning that the switch door 3 also rotates along the rotation axis a of the air guide plate 10. Compared with relative translation and other motion methods, the relative rotation motion of the switch door 3 can save space for the arrangement of motion space, thereby reducing the volume of the air guide component 100, facilitating the miniaturization design of the air guide component 100, and saving the manufacturing cost of the air guide component 100.
[0121] like Figure 2 As shown, the switch door 3 is located on the outside of the air guide plate assembly 1. The switch door 3 can block the air guide plate assembly 1, thereby improving the cleanliness of the air guide plate assembly 1.
[0122] like Figure 8 As shown, the air guide component 100 also includes a second drive assembly 4, which drives the switch door 3 to rotate. The switch door 3 and the air guide plate assembly 1 move independently, which can improve the working stability of the air guide component 100.
[0123] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 2 As shown, the air guide component 100 also includes a first drive assembly 2, which drives the air guide plate 10 to rotate. The second drive assembly 4 and the first drive assembly 2 are respectively disposed at both ends of the length of the switch door 3. The arrangement of the first drive assembly 2 and the second drive assembly 4 at both ends of the length of the switch door 3 provides more space, avoids installation interference, and improves the working stability of the air guide component 100.
[0124] Furthermore, the second drive assembly 4 is rotatably engaged with the air guide plate 10, and the first drive assembly 2 is rotatably engaged with the switch door 3. The first drive assembly 2 is only used to drive the air guide plate 10 to rotate, and the switch door 3 can rotate relative to the first drive assembly 2. The second drive assembly 4 is only used to drive the switch door 3 to rotate, and the air guide plate 10 can rotate relative to the second drive assembly 4. This avoids power interference and further improves the working stability of the air guide component 100.
[0125] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 3 As shown, a third rotating part 31 is provided at one end of the opening / closing door 3 near the first driving assembly 2 along its length direction. The first driving assembly 2 is rotatably engaged with the third rotating part 31. There are two air guide plates 10, including a first air guide plate 11 and a second air guide plate 12. A first rotating part 111 is provided at one end of the first air guide plate 11 near the first driving assembly 2 along its length direction. A second rotating part 121 is provided at one end of the second air guide plate 12 near the first driving assembly 2 along its length direction. The first driving assembly 2 is connected to the first rotating part 111 to drive the first air guide plate 11 to rotate. The second air guide plate 12 is linked with the first air guide plate 11 through the second rotating part 121.
[0126] like Figure 8 As shown, a sixth rotating part 32 is provided at one end of the length direction of the switch door 3 near the second drive assembly 4. The second drive assembly 4 is connected to the sixth rotating part 32 to drive the switch door 3 to rotate. A fourth rotating part 114 is provided at one end of the length direction of the first air guide plate 11 near the second drive assembly 4, and a fifth rotating part 124 is provided at one end of the length direction of the second air guide plate 12 near the second drive assembly 4. The second drive assembly 4 is rotatably engaged with both the fourth rotating part 114 and the fifth rotating part 124.
[0127] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 3 As shown, the air guide component 100 also includes a first bushing 5. The first drive assembly 2 is configured as a first motor 20. The first motor shaft 21 of the first motor 20 is connected to the first bushing 5, and the first bushing 5 is then connected to the air guide plate 10 to transmit power to the air guide plate 10. By setting the first bushing 5, the wear between the first motor 20 and the air guide plate 10 can be reduced, and the service life of the air guide component 100 can be extended.
[0128] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the length of the air guide component 100 extends vertically, and the first drive assembly 2 is disposed at the upper end of the air guide component 100, as shown. Figure 4 As shown, from top to bottom, the third rotating part 31, the first rotating part 111, and the second rotating part 121 are arranged sequentially, and the first bushing 5 passes through the third rotating part 31 and is poweredly connected to the first rotating part 111. Figure 3 As shown, the first bushing 5 includes a first rotating engagement portion 51 and a first connecting portion 52 arranged sequentially from top to bottom. The third rotating portion 31 has a first rotating hole 311, and the first rotating engagement portion 51 passes through the first rotating hole 311 to realize the rotating engagement between the third rotating portion 31 and the first drive assembly 2. The first rotating portion 111 also has a first connecting hole 1113, and the first connecting portion 52 passes through the first connecting hole 1113 to connect the first bushing 5 to the first rotating portion 111, thereby transmitting power to the first air guide plate 11.
[0129] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 3 As shown, the first rotating fitting part 51 is cylindrical, and the first rotating hole 311 is circular. The third rotating part 31 can rotate relative to the first rotating fitting part 51. Furthermore, the engagement of the first rotating fitting part 51 into the first rotating hole 311 can improve the rotational stability of the door 3 and enhance the operational reliability of the air guide component 100. The first connecting part 52 is a non-circular cylinder, and the first connecting hole 1113 is a non-circular hole. The cross-sectional shape of the first connecting hole 1113 is consistent with the cross-sectional shape of the first connecting part 52, thereby enabling a stable engagement between the first connecting part 52 and the first connecting hole 1113 and improving the movement stability of the air guide plate 10.
[0130] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 8 As shown, the air guide component 100 also includes a second bushing 6, and the second drive assembly 4 is configured as a second motor 40. The second motor shaft 41 of the second motor 40 is connected to the second bushing 6, and the second bushing 6 is then connected to the switch door 3 to transmit power to the switch door 3. By setting the second bushing 6, the wear between the second motor 40 and the switch door 3 can be reduced, and the service life of the air guide component 100 can be extended.
[0131] like Figure 2 and Figure 8 As shown, the length of the air guide component 100 extends vertically, and the second drive assembly 4 is disposed at the lower end of the air guide component 100, as shown. Figure 9 As shown, from top to bottom, the fifth rotating part 124, the fourth rotating part 114, and the sixth rotating part 32 are arranged sequentially, and the second bushing 6 is dynamically connected to the sixth rotating part 32. Figure 8As shown, the second bushing 6 includes a second rotating engagement portion 61 and a second connecting portion 62 arranged sequentially from top to bottom. The sixth rotating portion 32 has a second connecting hole 321, and the second connecting portion 62 passes through the second connecting hole 321 to connect the second bushing 6 and the sixth rotating portion 32, thereby transmitting power to the door 3. The fourth rotating portion 114 has a second rotating hole 1141, and the second rotating engagement portion 61 passes through the second rotating hole 1141 to realize the rotational engagement of the fourth rotating portion 114 and the second drive assembly 4. The engagement of the second rotating engagement portion 61 into the second rotating hole 1141 can also improve the rotational stability of the air guide plate 10 and improve the working reliability of the air guide component 100.
[0132] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 8 As shown, the second rotating fitting part 61 is cylindrical, and the second rotating hole 1141 is circular, allowing the fourth rotating part 114 to rotate relative to the second rotating fitting part 61. The second connecting part 62 is a non-circular cylinder, and the second connecting hole 321 is also a non-circular hole. Furthermore, the cross-sectional shape of the second connecting hole 321 matches the cross-sectional shape of the second connecting part 62, thus ensuring a stable fit between the second connecting part 62 and the second connecting hole 321 and improving the stability of the opening and closing door 3.
[0133] like Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, a mating post 1142 extending vertically is provided on the fourth rotating part 114, and a rotating mating hole 1241 is provided on the fifth rotating part 124. The mating post 1142 extends into the rotating mating hole 1241 and the mating post 1142 and the rotating mating hole 1241 are rotatably mated. The upper ends of the first air guide plate 11 and the second air guide plate 12 are connected to the mating hole 1211 through the extension section 1111, and the lower ends are rotatably mated to the rotating mating hole 1241 through the mating post 1142, which can improve the movement stability of the air guide plate assembly 1.
[0134] In some embodiments, the axis of the mating column 1142, the axis of the rotating mating hole 1241, and the axis of the second rotating hole 1141 all coincide with the rotating axis a, which can prevent the rotational deviation of the air guide plate 10, improve the rotational stability of the air guide plate assembly 1, and enhance the working reliability of the air guide component 100.
[0135] An air conditioner 1000 according to a second aspect embodiment of the present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0136] An air conditioner 1000 according to an embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 10 and Figure 11As shown, the air conditioner 1000 includes: an air conditioner body 700 and an air guide component 100. The air conditioner body 700 has an air outlet 701. The air guide component 100 is the air guide component 100 of the first aspect of the present invention, and the air guide component 100 is disposed at the air outlet 701.
[0137] like Figure 10 As shown, the air guide plate assembly 1 of the air guide component 100 is located at the air outlet 701, which can guide the air outlet of the air conditioner 1000. At this time, the door 3 is hidden inside the air outlet frame 8 to avoid obstructing the air outlet 701; Figure 11 As shown, the switch door 3 of the air guide component 100 is located at the air outlet 701, which can close the air outlet 701 of the air conditioner 1000 to prevent dust and other pollutants from directly entering the interior of the air conditioner 1000 and improve the cleanliness of the air conditioner 1000.
[0138] like Figure 12 As shown, when the air guide plate assembly 1 is located at the air outlet 701, the air guide plate assembly 1 has multiple air guide plates 10 stacked along the thickness direction of the air guide plates 10. The air guide plate assembly 1 thus blocks the rear portion of the air outlet 701, allowing airflow to exit only from the front of the air outlet 701, thereby guiding the airflow forward. Furthermore, the door 3 is hidden within the air outlet frame 8 at this time, preventing obstruction of the air outlet 701.
[0139] like Figure 12 As shown, the air conditioner 1000 is in the air guiding state at this time. The air outlet 701 is partially blocked by the air guide plate assembly 1, and the airflow can only flow towards the front of the air conditioner 1000. The dotted line with arrows in the figure indicates the direction of airflow. In addition, the flow area of the air outlet 701 that can be used for airflow is reduced, thereby increasing the airflow speed and increasing the airflow distance. The air conditioner 1000 can deliver air far forward, and the air delivery effect of the air conditioner 1000 is good.
[0140] According to the embodiment of the present invention, the air conditioner 1000, by providing the air guide component 100 of the first aspect, can partially block the air outlet 701, thereby changing the air outlet direction of the air outlet 701, and can increase the air delivery distance of the air conditioner 1000, resulting in good air delivery effect of the air conditioner 1000.
[0141] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, the air conditioner 1000 includes two air outlets 701 spaced apart in width, which can increase the air outlet coverage area of the air conditioner 1000 in the horizontal direction and improve the air outlet effect of the air conditioner 1000. Correspondingly, air guide components 100 are provided at both air outlets 701.
[0142] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 12 As shown, the air conditioner 1000 includes two impellers 9, which independently supply air to two air outlets 701, thereby increasing the air volume of the air conditioner 1000. In other embodiments, the air conditioner 1000 may also have only one impeller 9, which supplies air to both air outlets 701.
[0143] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 10 and Figure 13 As shown, the air guide plate assembly 1 also has a staggered unfolded state with multiple air guide plates 10. In the unfolded state, the multiple air guide plates 10 together block the air outlet 701. Furthermore, the door 3 is hidden within the air outlet frame 8 at this time to avoid blocking the air outlet 701. In the unfolded state, airflow passes through the ventilation areas 10a on the multiple air guide plates 10 and flows out, allowing the air guide plates 10 to guide the airflow through the ventilation areas 10a.
[0144] In some embodiments, the air guide plate 10 may have a plurality of micro-holes that penetrate along the thickness direction of the air guide plate 10. The area where the micro-holes are located is the ventilation area 10a. The airflow is dispersed into multiple small airflows through the micro-holes, which improves the discomfort of the airflow directly impacting the human body, achieves low-wind-feel air delivery, and improves the air delivery effect.
[0145] like Figure 10 and Figure 13 As shown, the air conditioner 1000 is in a low-wind-feel air supply state at this time. Multiple air guide plates 10 jointly cover the air outlet 701, and the airflow flows out through the micro-holes. The dotted line with arrows in the figure indicates the direction of airflow. The air conditioner 1000 can supply air to the room in a low-wind-feel state, which improves the discomfort of the airflow directly impacting the human body. The air supply effect of the air conditioner 1000 is good.
[0146] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 14 As shown, in the deployed state, the edges of two adjacent air guide plates 10 overlap. This improves airflow leakage from the two air guide plates 10, reduces airflow loss, and enhances airflow efficiency.
[0147] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 15 As shown, the air conditioner 1000 also has a maximum airflow state. At this time, the air guide plate 10 and the door 3 are both hidden inside the air outlet frame 8 to avoid obstructing the air outlet 701. The air resistance at the air outlet 701 is minimal, and the airflow can flow directly through the air outlet 701. The air conditioner 1000 can deliver a large volume of air, improving the air delivery effect.
[0148] It is worth noting that, such as Figure 15As shown, when the air conditioner 1000 is in the maximum air output state, the air guide plate 10 and the switch door 3 are placed on both sides of the air outlet 701. This arrangement can reduce the space occupied inside the air conditioner 1000 and help reduce the size of the air conditioner 1000.
[0149] like Figure 16 and Figure 11 As shown, the air conditioner 1000 also has a closed state, in which the fan wheel 9 stops rotating, and the door 3 is located at the air outlet 701, covering the air outlet 701 to prevent dust and other pollutants from directly entering the air conditioner 1000, thus improving the cleanliness of the air conditioner 1000. Figure 16 As shown, when the air outlet 701 is closed by the door 3, the air guide plate 10 is hidden inside the air outlet frame 8 to avoid interference between the air guide plate 10 and the door 3, thereby improving the working stability of the door 3.
[0150] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 10 As shown, the length direction of the air guide plate 10 is consistent with the length direction of the air outlet 701, and as... Figure 14 As shown, the width of the air guide plate 10 is smaller than the width of the air outlet 701, such as Figure 12 As shown, in the stacked state, the air guide plate assembly 1 can block at most a portion of the air outlet 701.
[0151] This invention enables multiple air outlets of the air conditioner 1000 by setting up multiple stackable air guide plates 10. In the stacked state, only a portion of the air outlet 701 needs to be blocked by the air guide plate assembly 1. The function of completely blocking the air outlet 701 can be achieved by setting up a switchable door 3. Therefore, the width of the air guide plate 10 can be designed to be smaller than the width of the air outlet 701, which helps to save manufacturing costs of the air guide component 100 and improve the production efficiency of the air guide component 100.
[0152] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, there are two air guide plates 10, including a first air guide plate 11 and a second air guide plate 12. A first rotating part 111 is provided at the upper end of the first air guide plate 11, and a second rotating part 121 is provided at the upper end of the second air guide plate 12. The air guide plate 10 is adapted to cooperate with the air outlet frame 8.

A first sliding part 122 is provided on the second rotating part 121, and the first sliding part 122 is slidably fitted in the first sliding groove 81. A second sliding groove 123 extending along the rotation direction of the first air guide plate 11 is also provided on the second rotating part 121. The two ends of the second sliding groove 123 are a third end and a fourth end. The second sliding part 112 is provided on the first rotating part 111, and the second sliding part 112 is slidably fitted in the second sliding groove 123.
[0153] When the first sliding part 122 is located at the first end, the first air guide plate 11 is retracted relative to the air outlet frame 8; when the first sliding part 122 is located at the second end, the first air guide plate 11 is unfolded relative to the air outlet frame 8. When the second sliding part 112 is located at the third end, the first air guide plate 11 and the second air guide plate 12 are stacked, and the air guide plate assembly 1 is in a stacked state; when the second sliding part 112 is located at the fourth end, the first air guide plate 11 and the second air guide plate 12 are unfolded, and the air guide plate assembly 1 is in an unfolded state.
[0154] When the air conditioner 1000 is in the air guiding state, the first sliding part 122 is located at the second end, the second sliding part 112 is located at the third end, the air guide plate assembly 1 is in a stacked state and located at the air outlet 701, and is unfolded relative to the air outlet frame 8.
[0155] When the air conditioner 1000 is in a low-wind-feel air supply state, the first sliding part 122 is located at the second end, the second sliding part 112 is located at the fourth end, the air guide plate assembly 1 is in an unfolded state and located at the air outlet, and is unfolded relative to the air outlet frame 8.
[0156] When the air conditioner 1000 is in the maximum air output state, the first sliding part 122 is located at the first end, the second sliding part 112 is located at the third end, and the air guide plate assembly 1 is in a stacked state and hidden inside the air outlet frame 8.
[0157] When the air conditioner 1000 is in the off state, the first sliding part 122 is located at the first end, the second sliding part 112 is located at the third end, and the air guide plate assembly 1 is in a stacked state and hidden inside the air outlet frame 8.
