[0057] The purpose, features and advantages of the present invention will be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings and in conjunction with the embodiments. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field based on the embodiments of the present invention without making any creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

In addition, the technical solutions between the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but it must be based on the ability of ordinary technicians in this field to implement. When the combination of technical solutions is mutually contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be deemed that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection required by the present invention.

[0062] The present invention provides an air guide assembly for installation at the air outlet of an air conditioner. The air conditioner can be either a monoblock or split-type air conditioner. For monoblock air conditioners, the air guide assembly is installed at the indoor air outlet. For split-type air conditioners, the air guide assembly is installed at the indoor unit outlet. This allows the airflow direction of the air outlet to be adjusted to meet user needs. In particular, for split-type air conditioners, only the indoor unit is covered by the present invention. Furthermore, the air conditioner can also be an air purifier, dehumidifier, or other air conditioning device.

[0063] In one embodiment of the present invention, Figures 1 to 10 As shown, the wind guide assembly includes two rotatable wind guide plates 100, the length directions of the two wind guide plates 100 are parallel, the rotating shafts of the two wind guide plates 100 are coaxially arranged, and the axial direction of the rotating shaft is parallel to the length direction of the wind guide plates 100; the wind guide plates 100 have a first side edge 101 and a second side edge 102 relative to each other in the width direction, the first side edge 101 is located on the side close to the rotating shaft, and the first side edges 101 of the two wind guide plates 100 can switch between an overlapping state and a separated state. In the separated state, the two wind guide plates 100 can provide different wind guiding directions.

[0064] In the technical solution of the present invention, the rotation axis and the length direction of the air guide plate 100 are parallel, which means parallel or approximately parallel. In this way, driving the air guide plate 100 to rotate around the rotation axis can change the width direction of the air guide plate 100, that is, the first side edges 101 of the two air guide plates 100 can be switched between an overlapping state and a separated state.

[0065] In the overlapping state of the two air guide plates 100, as shown in FIG. Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, the first side edges 101 of the two air guide plates 100 overlap each other. At this time, the two air guide plates 100 also form a complete plate body, which guides the air out together. On the air outlet side, the two air guide plates 100 ultimately provide one air guide direction; and in the separated state of the two air guide plates 100, after the first side edges 101 of the two air guide plates 100 are separated, the two air guide plates 100 can independently guide the air out, as shown in FIG. Figure 9 As shown, when the width directions of the two air guide plates 100 are different, two different air guide directions can be provided, thereby being able to adjust the air outlet direction of the air conditioner in a more diversified manner, which is beneficial to improving the user experience.

[0066] In one embodiment, in the overlapping state, the width directions of the two air deflectors 100 are parallel, and the distribution direction of the two air deflectors 100 is parallel to the width direction of the air deflectors 100. It can be understood that when air flows through the air deflectors 100, the air deflectors 100 will guide the airflow in the width direction. In this embodiment, in the overlapping state, the width directions of the two air deflectors 100 are parallel, so that the air guiding directions of the two air deflectors 100 are highly consistent, which can better guide the airflow out of the air outlet 400. Of course, in other embodiments, the two air deflectors 100 can also be arranged at an angle when in the overlapping state.

[0067] In one embodiment, if Figure 6 As shown, in the first air supply mode of the air guide assembly, the two air guide plates 100 are in the overlapping state, and the distribution direction of the two air guide plates 100 is parallel to the horizontal direction or arranged at an acute angle, so as to form an air outlet channel 410 for front-facing air discharge with the upper side structure of the air outlet 400. It can be understood that in the overlapping state, the distribution direction of the two air guide plates 100 is parallel to the width direction of the air guide plates 100. In the first air supply mode, the extension direction of the large plate formed by the two air guide plates 100 can also be parallel to the horizontal direction or arranged at an acute angle, and spaced apart from the upper side of the air outlet 400 to form an air outlet channel 410 for front-facing air discharge. As a result, the airflow flowing through the two air guide plates 100 can be guided to discharge forward, and the air discharge direction will not be excessively deviated downward. In addition, the second side edge 102 of one air guide plate 100 is located on the air outlet side, and the second side edge 102 of the other air guide plate 100 is close to or appropriately abuts the wall surface on the upper side of the air outlet 400 to avoid air leakage here, which is conducive to guiding the air in the air duct to flow into the room through the air outlet channel 410, thereby ensuring the air outlet performance of the air conditioner.

[0068] When the air conditioner is in cooling mode, the air guide assembly can be switched to the first air supply mode to form an air outlet channel 410 that discharges air toward the front, which is beneficial for slowing down the sedimentation of cold air and preventing the cold air from concentrating and sinking in the lower area of ​​the room. Specifically, when the extension direction of the two air guide plates 100 is parallel to the horizontal direction or appropriately tilted upward, the lifting effect on the cold air is stronger, which can prevent the cold air from blowing directly on people and improve the comfort of the air supply. In particular, when the two air guide plates 100 are appropriately tilted upward, after the cold air flows out of the air outlet 400, it will first flow toward the upper area of ​​the room, so that the airflow forms a ceiling airflow. Subsequently, under the trend of its own sedimentation, the cold air can be fully diffused in the height direction of the indoor environment, so that the cold air is fully diffused in various areas of the indoor environment. As a result, the temperature of the indoor environment can more efficiently reach the temperature set by the user, which can improve the temperature regulation effect and comfort of the air conditioner.

[0069] In one embodiment, if Figure 7 As shown, in the second air supply mode of the air guide assembly, the two air guide plates 100 are in the overlapped state, and the distribution direction of the two air guide plates 100 is parallel to the vertical direction or arranged at an acute angle, so as to form an air outlet channel 410 for downward air discharge with the lower side structure of the air outlet 400. It can be understood that in the second air supply mode, the extension direction of the large plate formed by the two air guide plates 100 can be parallel to the vertical direction or arranged at an acute angle, and can be spaced apart from the lower side of the air outlet 400 to form an air outlet channel 410 vertically downward or obliquely downward, wherein the air outlet channel 410 can be inclined forward or backward, and the airflow flowing through the two air guide plates 100 can be guided to discharge downward. In addition, the second side edge 102 of one air guide plate 100 is located on the air outlet side, and the second side edge 102 of the other air guide plate 100 is close to or appropriately abuts the wall surface on the lower side of the air outlet 400 to avoid air leakage here, which is conducive to guiding the air in the air duct to flow into the room through the air outlet channel 410, thereby ensuring the air outlet performance of the air conditioner.

[0070] When the air conditioner is in heating mode, the air guide assembly can be switched to the second air supply mode to form a downward-directing air outlet duct 410, preventing hot air from concentrating in the upper area of ​​the room. In this way, after the hot air flows out of the air outlet 400, it will first flow toward the ground. Then, due to its own upward trend, the hot air can be fully diffused in the height direction of the indoor environment, allowing the hot air to be fully diffused in various areas of the indoor environment. In addition, due to the wall effect, the hot air flowing to the ground can flow along the ground, thereby allowing the hot air to be more efficiently diffused in the indoor environment.

[0071] In one embodiment, if Figure 9As shown, in the third air supply mode of the air guide assembly, the two air guide plates 100 are in the separated state, and a first angle less than 180 degrees is formed between the two air guide plates 100, and the opening of the first angle is toward the air outlet side, so that the width direction of one air guide plate 100 is parallel to the horizontal direction, and forms an air outlet channel 410 for discharging air toward the front with the upper side structure of the air outlet 400, and the width direction of the other air guide plate 100 is parallel to the vertical direction, and forms an air outlet channel 410 for discharging air toward the downward with the lower side structure of the air outlet 400. It can be understood that, for the wind guide plate 100 whose width direction is parallel to the horizontal direction, its width direction can be parallel to the horizontal direction, or it can be set at an angle to the horizontal direction, and the angle range between the wind guide plate 100 and the horizontal direction is preferably 0 to 30 degrees. Thus, the wind guide plate 100 can extend forward and guide the airflow to flow out forward; for the wind guide plate 100 whose width direction is parallel to the vertical direction, similarly, the width direction of the wind guide plate 100 can be parallel to the vertical direction, or it can be set at an angle to the vertical direction, and the angle range between the wind guide plate 100 and the horizontal direction is preferably 0 to 30 degrees. Thus, the wind guide plate 100 can extend downward, and the wind guide plate 100 and the lower side of the air outlet 400 are spaced apart to form an outlet channel 410 for downward air discharge to guide the airflow to flow out downward. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the “forward” or “downward” mentioned in this article may refer to facing straight forward or straight downward, or to facing obliquely forward or obliquely downward.

[0072] It can be understood that the wall at the air outlet 400 should be configured accordingly with the air guide plate 100 so that the cross-section of the two air outlet channels 410 in the third air supply mode has a sufficient width to ensure the air output of the air conditioner. In the third air supply mode, the air flow can flow out through two air outlet channels 410 in different directions, realizing zoned air supply, making the air outlet 400 more dispersed, which is conducive to the diffusion of the air flowing out of the air outlet 400 in the room. The two air guide plates 100 will be set at a first angle. The larger the first angle between the two air guide plates 100, the greater the deviation of the air guide direction of the two air guide plates 100, and the better the air outlet dispersion. The smaller the first angle between the two air guide plates 100, the smaller the deviation of the air guide direction of the two air guide plates 100, and the relatively concentrated air outlet. Among them, the range of the first angle is preferably 60 degrees to 120 degrees, preferably 90 degrees.

[0073] In addition, in the third air supply mode, if the distance between the first side edges 101 of the two air guide plates 100 is very close, most of the air will not flow into and out from between the two air guide plates 100, that is, it will not flow out of the area facing the opening of the first angle. It can be understood that the area facing the opening of the first angle is generally the main activity area of ​​the user. In this way, in the third air supply mode, the air outlet 400 can avoid the air outlet in this area to a certain extent, which is conducive to reducing direct wind.

[0074] In one embodiment, if Figure 10 As shown, in the fourth air supply mode of the air guide assembly, the two air guide plates 100 are in the separated state, the two air guide plates 100 are arranged opposite each other and side by side, and the air guide plates 100 extend downwardly and obliquely in the forward direction. The opposite sides of the two air guide plates 100 respectively form two air outlet channels 410 with parallel air outlet directions with the upper and lower sides of the air outlet 400. It can be understood that in the fourth air supply mode, the two air guide plates 100 are arranged in parallel, and the first angle is 0, that is, there is no angle. In the fourth air supply mode, the two air outlet channels 410 formed on the opposite sides of the two air guide plates 100 extend downwardly and obliquely in the forward direction. In this way, the airflow of the air outlet 400 can be gathered, so that the air outlet 400 can concentrate the air toward a lower area in front. When the air conditioner is installed against the wall and the air outlet 400 is a certain distance from the ground, the user can feel the direct wind at the air outlet 400 when standing at a certain distance from the wall, thereby quickly getting a sense of coolness or heat.

[0075] In one embodiment, if Figure 2 As shown in FIG, the rotation axis of the wind deflector 100 is located outside the plate body. Specifically, the rotation axis of the wind deflector 100 is located on the side where the first side edge 101 is located, but its axis deviates from the first side edge 101 and is located outside the plate body of the wind deflector 100. In this way, when the two wind deflectors 100 are in a separated state, as shown in FIG. Figure 10 As shown in FIG. 2( b ), an air outlet channel 410 is formed between the two air guide plates 100, so that the air outlet 400 is divided into three air outlet channels 410 by the two air guide plates 100. As the first angle between the two air guide plates 100 changes, the direction of the airflow by the three air outlet channels 410 changes accordingly, and the width of the three air outlet channels 410 also changes accordingly, thereby achieving changes in wind speed and wind feeling.

[0076] Furthermore, in the fourth air supply mode, when the two air guide plates 100 are arranged opposite and side by side, the airflow can be guided between the two air guide plates 100, thereby further improving the concentration of the air output. Furthermore, when the first angle between the two air guide plates 100 is small, concentrated air output can also be achieved. Therefore, in the concentrated air output mode of the air conditioner, the air guide assembly is not limited to the aforementioned fourth air supply mode. That is, the two air guide plates 100 are not limited to being arranged side by side in the same direction, but can also be arranged at an angle, preferably between 0 and 30 degrees. Furthermore, the two air guide plates 100 can be driven to reciprocate within the aforementioned angle range, causing the two air guide plates 100 to swing back and forth between swinging toward each other and swinging away from each other, thereby achieving a swinging wind effect.

[0077] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 5 to 10The air guide plates 100 are provided with a first concave-arc-shaped air guide surface 103 and a second convex-arc-shaped air guide surface 104 on opposite sides. In the overlapped state, the air guide plates 100 form an air outlet channel 410 through the first air guide surface 103; in the separated state, the air guide plates 100 can form an air outlet channel 410 through the second air guide surface 104. In this way, in the first and second air supply modes, the two air guide plates 100 guide the air through the concave-arc-shaped first air guide surface 103, which can better guide the airflow forward or downward. In the third air supply mode, the two air guide plates 100 guide the air through the convex-arc-shaped second air guide surface 104 on opposite sides, which has a greater difference in the direction of the partitioned air supply. In the fourth air supply mode, the first air guide surfaces 103 of the two air guide plates 100 are arranged opposite to each other, and the second air guide surfaces 104 are arranged opposite to each other, which has a stronger airflow gathering effect. As a result, the air guide assembly can achieve a better air guiding effect at the air outlet 400.

[0078] In one embodiment, if Figure 5 As shown, in the initial state of the air guide assembly, the two air guide plates 100 are in the overlapping state, and the second side edges 102 of the two air guide plates 100 overlap the two sides of the air outlet 400 to cover the air outlet 400. This prevents dust, rodents, or insects from entering the air duct of the air conditioner when the air conditioner is idle, thereby ensuring the operating performance of the air conditioner. In particular, in the initial state, the first air guide surface 103 of the two air guide plates 100 is arranged to face the inside of the air duct, while the second air guide surface 104 is exposed. This makes the outer surface of the air conditioner at the air outlet 400 relatively full, without any abrupt depression, which is beneficial to improving the appearance of the air conditioner. Of course, in other embodiments, the air outlet 400 can also be covered by another cover plate. When the air conditioner is turned on, the cover plate can be retracted to a position that does not block the air outlet 400. When the air conditioner is turned off, the cover plate can be moved to a position that covers the air outlet 400.

[0079] In one embodiment, in the overlapping state, the air-guiding surfaces of the two air guide plates 100 smoothly transition at the overlap of the two first side edges 101. That is, after the two air guide plates 100 overlap at the first side edges 101, no significant deflection occurs at the first side edges 101. The air-guiding surfaces of the two air guide plates 100 are highly unidirectional, ensuring the continuity of air guidance between the two air guide plates 100 in the overlapping state, allowing the air guide assembly to better guide the outgoing air. Furthermore, when the two air guide plates 100 cover the air outlet 400, the overlap of the two air guide plates 100 does not form a significant angle on the outside, which helps enhance the aesthetic appearance of the air conditioner. Of course, in other embodiments, in the overlapping state, the two air guide plates 100 only have a smooth transition at the first side edge 101 of the first air guide surface 103, and the second air guide surfaces 104 of the two air guide plates 100 can have a certain angle. At this time, the first side edges 101 of the two air guide plates 100 are located at the connection between the front panel and the lower panel, which can better ensure the appearance consistency of the air conditioner.

[0080] In one embodiment, if Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the air guide assembly further includes a drive motor 200 and an incomplete gear mechanism 300. The drive motor 200 drives the two air guide plates 100 to intermittently rotate via the incomplete gear mechanism 300. In this way, the two air guide plates 100 can be driven by only one drive motor 200. Under the transmission of the incomplete gear mechanism 300, the two air guide plates 100 can be driven simultaneously, or one can be driven while the other remains stationary. When driven simultaneously, the rotation directions of the two air guide plates 100 can be the same or different, thereby achieving switching between the above-mentioned air supply modes. Of course, in other embodiments, different drive motors 200 can be provided for different air guide plates 100 to independently drive the two air guide plates 100 to rotate.

[0081] In one embodiment, if Figure 2 As shown, the two wind guide plates 100 are respectively a first wind guide plate 110 and a second wind guide plate 120, the first wind guide plate 110 is provided with a first rotating shaft 111, the second wind guide plate 120 is provided with a second rotating shaft 121, the second rotating shaft 121 is rotatably passed through the first rotating shaft 111, so that the first rotating shaft 111 and the second rotating shaft 121 can be coaxially arranged and can rotate without interfering with each other, and the first wind guide plate 110 and the second wind guide plate 120 can rotate around the same axis without interfering with each other.

[0082] Furthermore, in this embodiment, Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the incomplete gear mechanism 300 includes a driving wheel 310, a first driven wheel 320 and a second driven wheel 330. The driving motor 200 is driven and connected to the driving wheel 310. The first driven wheel 320 is fixedly sleeved on the first rotating shaft 111. The second driven wheel 330 is fixedly sleeved on the second rotating shaft 121 and stacked on the first driven wheel 320. Specifically, the incomplete gear mechanism 300 is provided with a housing 301, and each gear is installed in the housing 301. An axial hole is provided on the inner side of the first rotating shaft 111 for the first rotating shaft 111 to be rotatably passed through. The end of the first rotating shaft 111 is provided with a flat position on the outer periphery for plugging and matching with the flat position hole of the first driven wheel 320, and is coaxially fixed to the first driven wheel 320. The second rotating shaft 121 includes a circumferential segment and a flat position segment distributed along the axial direction. The circumferential segment is passed through the axial hole of the first rotating shaft 111 and is rotatably matched with the first rotating shaft 111. The flat position segment extends out of the axial hole of the first rotating shaft 111 and is fixedly plugged into the flat position hole of the second driven wheel 330. The housing 301 is also provided with a mounting hole for rotatably inserting the shaft protrusion of the driving wheel 310 or the second driven wheel 330 or the transmission wheel 340 described later. Alternatively, a mounting protrusion is provided on the housing 301, and the above-mentioned gears are provided with shaft holes for rotatably inserting the mounting protrusion to ensure the smooth rotation of each gear.

[0083] like Figures 4 to 10 As shown, further, the driving wheel 310 includes a first driving tooth portion 311 and a second driving tooth portion 312 distributed along the axial direction, the first driving tooth portion 311 is used to engage with the first driven wheel 320, and the second driving tooth portion 312 is used to engage with the second driven wheel 330, and at least one of the first driving tooth portion 311 and the second driving tooth portion 312 is configured as an incomplete tooth portion; in the overlapping state, the driving wheel 310 and the first driven wheel 320 and the second driven wheel 330 are all engaged; in the separated state, one of the first driven wheel 320 and the second driven wheel 330 is engaged with the driving wheel 310, and the other is separated from the driving wheel 310.

[0084] It can be understood that when the first driving tooth portion 311 is an incomplete tooth portion, in the disengaged state, the first driven wheel 320 is disengaged from the first driving tooth portion 311, and the second driven wheel 330 is engaged with the second driven tooth portion 332; when the second driving tooth portion 312 is an incomplete tooth portion, in the disengaged state, the first driving wheel 310 is engaged with the first driving tooth portion 311, and the second driven wheel 330 is disengaged from the second driven tooth portion 332.

[0085] The following takes the second active tooth portion 312 being configured as an incomplete tooth portion and the second air guide plate 120 being driven to rotate intermittently by the second transmission wheel 340 as an example to illustrate the movement process of the air guide assembly.

[0086] In this embodiment, in the overlapping state, the driving wheel 310 and the first driven wheel 320 and the second driven wheel 330 are all engaged. After the driving wheel 310 is driven by the driving motor 200, it can simultaneously drive the first driven wheel 320 and the second driven wheel 330 to rotate, and the two air guide plates 100 are also driven to rotate synchronously in the overlapping state. After the driving wheel 310 and the second driven wheel 330 are disengaged, the first driven wheel 320 will continue to be driven, and the second driven wheel 330 will not be affected by the driving wheel 310 and can remain stationary. Therefore, when the first air guide plate 110 rotates, the second air guide plate 120 can remain stationary, and the first air guide plate 110 can also switch from the overlapping state to the separated state.

[0087] Of course, in other embodiments, the first driven wheel 320 and the second driven wheel 330 may be meshed through an incomplete gear, and the driving wheel 310 may be meshed with the first driven wheel 320. When the incomplete gear and the two driven wheels are meshed, the driving wheel 310 can drive the two air guide plates 100 to rotate simultaneously. After the first driven wheel 320 is disengaged from the incomplete gear, the driving wheel 310 can only drive the first air guide plate 110 to rotate, and the second air guide plate 120 can remain stationary.

[0088] Furthermore, in this embodiment, Figures 4 to 10 As shown, the driving wheel 310 further includes a third driving tooth portion 313, and the third driving tooth portion 313 and the first driving tooth portion 311 are located on opposite sides of the second driving tooth portion 312. The second driven wheel 330 includes a first driven tooth portion 331 and a second driven tooth portion 332, and the first driven tooth portion 331 is used to mesh with the second driving tooth portion 312; the incomplete gear mechanism 300 further includes a transmission wheel 340, and the transmission wheel 340 is used to mesh between the second driven tooth portion 332 and the third driving tooth portion 313. at least one of the transmission wheel 340, the second driven tooth portion 332 and the third driving tooth portion 313 is provided with an incomplete tooth portion, so that: when the second driving tooth portion 312 is engaged with the first driven tooth portion 331, the power transmission path from the driving wheel 310 to the second driven tooth portion 332 via the transmission wheel 340 is disconnected; after the second driving tooth portion 312 is disengaged from the first driven tooth portion 331, the power transmission path from the driving wheel 310 to the second driven tooth portion 332 via the transmission wheel 340 can be conducted.

[0089] That is, there are two power transmission paths between the driving wheel 310 and the second driven wheel 330. The first power transmission path is between the second driving tooth portion 312 and the first driven tooth portion 331, and the second power transmission path is from the third driving tooth portion 313 through the transmission wheel 340 to the second transmission tooth portion 342. Corresponding to these two different power transmission paths, the second driven wheel 330 rotates in different directions. At the same time, there is only one power transmission path between the driving wheel 310 and the second driven wheel 330. Thus, at different times, corresponding to different power transmission paths, the second air deflector 120 rotates in different directions. Of course, in other embodiments, a separate motor may be provided to transmit power through an incomplete gear and the second driven wheel 330. After the driving wheel 310 and the second driven wheel 330 engage, the incomplete gear and the second driven wheel 330 disengage. After the driving wheel 310 and the second driven wheel 330 disengage, the incomplete gear can engage with the second driven wheel 330.

[0090] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the transmission wheel 340 includes a first transmission tooth portion 341 and a second transmission tooth portion 342 distributed along the axial direction, the first transmission tooth portion 341 is used to engage with the third driving tooth portion 313, and the second transmission tooth portion 342 is used to engage with the second driven tooth portion 332; the third driving tooth portion 313 and the first transmission tooth portion 341 are both configured as complete tooth portions, and the second transmission tooth portion 342 and the second driven tooth portion 332 are both configured as incomplete tooth portions; when the second driving tooth portion 312 engages with the first driven tooth portion 331, the second transmission tooth portion 342 and the second driven tooth portion 332 are disengaged; after the second driving tooth portion 312 disengages from the first driven tooth portion 331, the second transmission tooth portion 342 and the second driven tooth portion 332 can engage.

[0091] In this way, when the second driving tooth portion 312 is engaged with the first driven tooth portion 331 and the second transmission tooth portion 342 is disengaged from the second driven tooth portion 332, the first power transmission path is connected and the second power transmission path is disconnected. Conversely, when the second driving tooth portion 312 is disengaged from the first driven tooth portion 331 and the second transmission tooth portion 342 is engaged with the second driven tooth portion 332, the first power transmission path is disconnected and the second power transmission path is connected. This allows the second air deflector 120 to rotate in different directions when different power transmission paths are connected.

[0092] Of course, in other embodiments, the third driving tooth portion 313 may be configured as an incomplete tooth portion, the second driven tooth portion 332 may be configured as a complete tooth portion, and the transmission wheel 340 may only be configured with a complete tooth portion and mesh with the second driven tooth portion 332. In this way, when the second driving tooth portion 312 and the first driven tooth portion 331 are meshed, the transmission wheel 340 will be driven by the second driven wheel 330, but at this time the third driving tooth portion 313 and the second driven tooth portion 332 are disengaged. At this time, only the first power transmission path is conducted between the driving wheel 310 and the second driven wheel 330, and no interference occurs. After the second driving tooth portion 312 and the second driven tooth portion 332 are disengaged, the third driving tooth portion 313 can mesh with the transmission wheel 340. At this time, the second power transmission path between the driving wheel 310 and the driven wheel is conducted, thereby enabling the driving wheel 310 to drive the second driven wheel 330 through the transmission wheel 340.

[0093] Furthermore, in this embodiment, after the second driving tooth portion 312 and the first driven tooth portion 331 are disengaged, the driving wheel 310 rotates a preset angle, which can switch the second transmission tooth portion 342 and the second driven tooth portion 332 from a disengaged state to an engaged state, and can switch the air guide component to the third air supply mode. The second transmission tooth portion 342 and the second driven tooth portion 332 rotate in the engaged state, which can switch the air guide component to the fourth air supply mode.

[0094] That is, after the first power transmission path is disconnected, the second power transmission path is connected only after the driving wheel 310 rotates a certain angle. That is, there is a non-transmission gap between the driving wheel 310 and the second driven wheel 330. It should be noted that during the entire process of the driving wheel 310 and the second driven wheel 330 being connected in transmission or not transmitting, the driving wheel 310 and the first driven wheel 320 remain in meshing. Without loss of generality, the first driving tooth portion 311 and the first driven wheel 320 are both configured as complete tooth portions, and the first driven wheel 320 can be continuously driven by the driving wheel 310. In this way, under the action of the incomplete gear mechanism 300 of this embodiment, the air guide assembly can smoothly complete the switching of the above-mentioned air supply modes and the initial state.

[0095] Specifically, in the initial state of the air guide assembly, the two air guide plates 100 are in an overlapping state, the first driving tooth portion 311 of the driving wheel 310 is engaged with the first driven wheel 320, the second driving tooth portion 312 is engaged with the first driven tooth portion 331 of the second driven wheel 330, the third driving tooth portion 313 is engaged with the first transmission tooth portion 341 of the transmission wheel 340, the second transmission tooth portion 342 of the transmission wheel 340 is disengaged from the second driven tooth portion 332 of the second driven wheel 330, the driving wheel 310 rotates, and the first driven wheel 320 and the second driven wheel 330 can rotate in the same direction, so that the two air guide plates 100 rotate synchronously in an overlapping state.

[0096] Therefore, please also refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 When the air guide assembly is in the initial state, the driving wheel 310 rotates in the first direction, which can drive the two air guide plates 100 to open the upper side downward in the overlapping state, that is, rotate a certain angle in the clockwise direction as shown in the figure, so that an air outlet channel 410 for guiding air forward is formed between the two air guide plates 100 and the air outlet 400, that is, the air guide assembly can be switched to the first air supply mode. At this time, the status of the two air guide plates is as follows: Figure 6 (a)

[0097] In the initial state of the air guide assembly, please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 7 If the active gear rotates in the second direction (i.e., the direction opposite to the first direction), the two air guide plates 100 can be driven to open upward at the lower side in the overlapping state, that is, rotated in the counterclockwise direction of the figure by a certain angle, so that an outlet channel 410 for guiding air downward can be formed between the two air guide plates 100 and the air outlet 400, that is, the air guide assembly can be switched to the second air supply mode. At this time, the state of the two air guide plates is as follows: Figure 7 (a); It should be noted that, in the first air supply mode and the second air supply mode, the matching relationship of each gear of the air guide assembly is the same as that in the initial state;

[0098] Please also refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8 In the second air supply mode of the air guide assembly, the first air guide plate 110 is on the top and the second air guide plate 120 is on the bottom. At this time, the driving wheel 310 continues to rotate in the second direction, and can continue to drive the two air guide plates 100 to rotate in an overlapping state until the width direction and the horizontal direction of the second air guide plate 120 are parallel to each other, and an air outlet channel 410 for guiding air forward can be formed between the second air guide plate 120 and the upper side of the air outlet 400. At this time, the state of the two air guide plates is as follows: Figure 8 As shown in (a), the first air guide plate 110 is located on the side of the second air guide plate 120 close to the internal air duct, and the second driving tooth portion 312 of the driving wheel 310 and the first driven tooth portion 331 of the second driven wheel 330 are at a critical point about to disengage;

[0099] Please also refer to Figure 8 and Figure 9When the second gear 310 is in the upright position, the second gear 320 is in the upright position, and the first gear 330 is in the upright position. Figure 9 (a)

[0100] In the above process, the first transmission tooth portion 341 of the transmission wheel 340 and the third driving tooth portion 313 of the driving wheel 310 remain engaged, but the second transmission tooth portion 342 of the transmission wheel 340 and the second driven tooth portion 332 of the second driven wheel 330 remain disengaged. Although the transmission wheel 340 can be driven by the driving wheel 310, the second power transmission path between the driving tooth and the second driven wheel 330 remains disconnected. When the air guide assembly is in the third air supply mode, the second transmission tooth portion 342 of the transmission wheel 340 and the second driven tooth portion 332 of the second driven wheel 330 are at a critical point about to be engaged, and the driving wheel 310 continues to rotate in the second direction, which can drive the transmission wheel 340 to rotate, so that The second transmission tooth portion 342 of the transmission wheel 340 is meshed with the second driven tooth portion 332 of the driven wheel, thereby the driving wheel 310 can drive the second driven wheel 330 to rotate through the transmission wheel 340. At this time, the rotation direction of the second driven wheel 330 is opposite to the previous direction, and the second air guide plate 120 is also driven to rotate in the opposite direction, that is, the clockwise direction shown in the figure. At the same time, the first driven wheel 320 is continuously driven by the driving wheel 310, so that the first air guide plate 110 can continue to rotate in the counterclockwise direction shown in the figure. In this way, the first air guide plate 110 and the second air guide plate 120 will swing towards each other until the two air guide plates 100 are arranged side by side, and the air guide assembly is switched to Figure 10 (a) or Figure 10 (b) shows the fourth air supply mode.

[0101] In addition, when the air guide component switches between any air supply mode and the initial state, it can be carried out according to the above corresponding process or in reverse according to the corresponding process.

[0102] Furthermore, in this embodiment, after the second active tooth portion 312 and the first driven tooth portion 331 are disengaged, the transmission wheel 340 and the second driven wheel 330 are engaged through the locking arc portion until the second transmission tooth portion 342 and the second driven tooth portion 332 are engaged. Figures 4 to 10 As shown, the transmission wheel 340 is provided with a first locking arc 343, and the second driven wheel 330 is provided with a second locking arc 333. The two locking arcs are coaxially arranged, and their axes can be the axis of the transmission wheel 340 or the axis of the second driven wheel 330. In this way, when there is no direct or indirect tooth meshing relationship between the driving wheel 310 and the second driven wheel 330, the two can cooperate through the locking arc, so that the second driven wheel 330 can remain stable and the second air deflector 120 can also be stably maintained in its current position, waiting for the transmission wheel 340 to be driven to a position where the second transmission tooth portion 342 and the second driven tooth portion 332 mesh. The first locking arc 343 is then separated from the second locking arc 333, and the driving wheel 310 can indirectly mesh with the second driven wheel 330 through the transmission wheel 340, driving the second driven wheel 330 to rotate in the same direction as the second driven wheel 330. At this time, the second air deflector 120 is driven again. Of course, in other embodiments, after the second driving tooth portion 312 and the first driven tooth portion 331 are disengaged, the driving wheel 310 and the second driven wheel 330 may be meshed through the locking arc portion.

[0103] In one embodiment, the angle at which the transmission wheel 340 and the second driven wheel 330 are engaged through the locking arc portion is a first angle, and the first angle is 80 degrees to 100 degrees; the angle at which the second driving tooth portion 312 and the first driven tooth portion 331 are engaged is a second angle, and the second angle is greater than or equal to 180 degrees; the angle at which the second transmission tooth portion 342 and the second driven tooth portion 332 are engaged is a third angle, and the third angle is 40 degrees to 50 degrees.

[0104] It can be understood that the second angle of cooperation between the second driving tooth portion 312 and the first driven tooth portion 331 corresponds to the angle at which the air guide assembly can rotate in the overlapping state, the first angle of cooperation between the transmission wheel 340 and the second driven wheel 330 through the locking arc portion is the rotation angle of the air guide assembly from the overlapping state to the third air supply mode, and the third angle at which the driving wheel 310 indirectly engages with the second driven wheel 330 through the transmission wheel 340 is the angle at which the two air guide plates 100 can move toward each other.

[0105] In this way, taking the air guide assembly in the second air supply mode as a benchmark, after the driving wheel 310 rotates the second angle, the two air guide plates 100 will rotate the second angle in the overlapping state, and rotate to the critical point between the overlapping state and the separation state. During this process, the air guide assembly will successively pass through the initial state and the first air supply mode; from this critical point, after the driving wheel 310 rotates the first angle, the air guide plate 100 closer to the lower side of the air outlet 400 will independently rotate the first angle, so that the two air guide plates 100 are switched to the separation state, and the air guide assembly can be in the third air supply mode. At this time, the locking arc between the transmission wheel 340 and the second driven wheel 330 is in a critical state about to disengage, and the transmission wheel 340 and the second driven wheel 330 are in a critical state about to engage; thereafter, the driving wheel 310 continues to rotate the third angle, and the two air guide plates 100 can also be driven by the driving wheel 310 to move toward each other until the two are side by side, and correspondingly switch to the fourth air supply mode. It should be noted that the sum of the first angle, the second angle and the third angle is less than 360 degrees, ensuring that the driving wheel 310 can drive the air guide assembly to switch in the above process during one rotation.

[0106] The present invention also provides an air conditioner, which includes an air guide assembly. The specific structure of the air guide assembly is described with reference to the above-mentioned embodiments. Since this air conditioner adopts all the technical solutions of all the above-mentioned embodiments, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought about by the technical solutions of the above-mentioned embodiments, which will not be described in detail here.

When the air conditioner is an integral air conditioner, the air guide assembly is arranged at the air outlet on the indoor side of the air conditioner.

In this way, the air supply direction of the air outlet can be adjusted to meet the user's usage needs.
