[0058] 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.

[0059] 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 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. Additionally, examples of various specific processes and materials are provided in this invention; however, those skilled in the art will recognize the applicability of other processes and / or the use of other materials.

[0060] The air conditioner 100 of the present invention is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0061] An air conditioner 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the air conditioner 100 includes an air conditioner body 10 and an air guide plate 20. The air conditioner body 10 has an air outlet 11. The air guide plate 20 is rotatably disposed at the air outlet 11. At least one end of the rotation axis of the air guide plate 20 is detached and assembled with the air conditioner body 10 through a quick-release unit 30.

[0062] The air guide plate 20 can be rotated to adjust the airflow direction of the air outlet 11 of the air conditioner 100, thereby increasing the airflow range of the air conditioner 100 and enabling the air conditioner 100 to deliver air to specific areas. However, the air guide plate 20 is located at the air outlet 11, and it will accumulate a lot of dust during long-term use. After a period of use, the air guide plate 20 needs to be removed from the air conditioner body 10 for cleaning and maintenance. However, the disassembly and reassembly of the air guide plate in related technologies are quite difficult, making the cleaning and maintenance of the air guide plate difficult.

[0063] The air conditioner 100 of this embodiment of the invention uses a quick-release unit 30 to detach and assemble the air guide plate 20 with the air conditioner body 10, which can reduce the difficulty of detaching and assembling the air guide plate 20 with the air conditioner body 10, improve the efficiency of detaching and assembling the air guide plate 20 with the air conditioner body 10, facilitate users to clean and maintain the air guide plate 20, and help improve the working reliability of the air guide plate 20.

[0064] like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the quick-release unit 30 includes: a first rotating shaft 31 and a quick-release assembly 32. The quick-release assembly 32 includes a switchable side opening 412, which opens along a direction perpendicular to the axis of the first rotating shaft 31. Figure 4 As shown, the first pivot 31 is adapted to be disassembled and assembled with the quick-release assembly 32 through the side opening 412.

[0065] One of the quick-release assembly 32 and the first rotating shaft 31 is disposed on the air guide plate 20, and the other of the quick-release assembly 32 and the first rotating shaft 31 is disposed on the air conditioner body 10. The quick-release assembly 32 and the first rotating shaft 31 are rotatably coupled, thereby enabling the air guide plate 20 and the air conditioner body 10 to rotate relative to each other and to be quickly disassembled and assembled. The choice of the coupling between the quick-release assembly 32 and the first rotating shaft 31 and the air guide plate 20 and the air conditioner body 10 can be selected according to actual needs.

[0066] In related technologies, the process of moving the first rotating shaft along the axial direction and disassembling and assembling the quick-release component requires moving the air guide plate relative to the air conditioner body along the length direction of the air outlet. The space along the length direction of the air outlet is limited, the space for disassembling and assembling the air guide plate is restricted, the disassembly and assembly of the air guide plate is difficult, and it is not conducive to the cleaning and maintenance of the air guide plate.

[0067] In this embodiment of the invention, the first rotating shaft 31 moves along an axis perpendicular to or substantially perpendicular to the first rotating shaft 31, and is detached and assembled with the quick-release assembly 32 through the side opening 412. The air guide plate 20 rotates relative to the air outlet 11 with the axis of rotation of the first rotating shaft 31 as the axis of rotation. The length direction of the air guide plate 20 is consistent with the axial direction of the first rotating shaft 31. The air guide plate 20 moves relative to the air conditioner body 10 in the inward and outward directions of the air outlet 11, which can complete the detachment and assembly of the air guide plate 20 and the air conditioner body 10. The space available for the detachment and assembly of the air guide plate 20 is large, which can reduce the difficulty of detachment and assembly of the air guide plate 20 and the air conditioner body 10, improve the detachment and assembly efficiency of the air guide plate 20 and the air conditioner body 10, and facilitate the user's cleaning and maintenance of the air guide plate 20.

[0068] It is worth noting that the air guide plate 20 is relatively long. One end of the air guide plate 20's rotation axis is attached to the air conditioner body 10 via a quick-release unit 30. When the other end of the air guide plate 20 is still attached to the air conditioner body 10, one end of the air guide plate 20 is first removed from the air conditioner body 10 via the quick-release unit 30. The movement of the first rotating shaft cannot be in a radial straight line, but must be moved along an axis generally perpendicular to the first rotating shaft 31, and the movement trajectory is an arc. Similarly, during assembly, after the other end of the air guide plate 20 is assembled, one end of the air guide plate 20 needs to be assembled along an axis generally perpendicular to the first rotating shaft 31. However, when both ends of the air guide plate 20 are attached to the air conditioner body 10 via the quick-release unit 30, and both ends of the air guide plate 20 are simultaneously attached to and detached from the air conditioner body 10, the air guide plate 20 can be directly driven to move along an axis perpendicular to the first rotating shaft 31, and the movement trajectory is a straight line.

[0069] The side opening 412 of the quick-release assembly 32 can be switched on and off. When the side opening 412 is closed, the first rotating shaft 31 can be stably connected to the quick-release assembly 32. When the side opening 412 is opened, the first rotating shaft 31 can be disassembled and assembled with the quick-release assembly 32 through the side opening 412.

[0070] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the air conditioner 100 is equipped with a quick-release assembly 32. The side opening 412 of the quick-release assembly 32 is open perpendicular to the axis of the first rotating shaft 31. The first rotating shaft 31 can move along a direction perpendicular to or substantially perpendicular to the axis of the first rotating shaft 31. The air conditioner is then detached from the quick-release assembly 32 through the side opening 412. The air guide plate 20 can be moved relative to the air conditioner body 10 in the inward and outward directions of the air outlet 11, thus completing the detachment of the air guide plate 20 and the air conditioner body 10. The space available for the detachment of the air guide plate 20 is relatively large, which reduces the difficulty of detaching the air guide plate 20 and the air conditioner body 10, improves the efficiency of detachment, facilitates user cleaning and maintenance of the air guide plate 20, and helps improve the working reliability of the air guide plate 20.

[0071] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, one end of the air guide plate 20 on the rotation axis is connected to the air conditioner body 10 via the quick-release unit 30, and the other end is connected to the air conditioner body 10 via the connecting unit 80.

[0072] When assembling the air guide plate 20 with the air conditioner body 10, firstly, connect one end of the air guide plate 20 on its rotation axis to the air conditioner body 10 via the connecting unit 80. Then, quickly assemble one end of the air guide plate 20 on its rotation axis to the air conditioner body 10 via the quick-release unit 30, thus installing the air guide plate 20 onto the air conditioner body 10. When disassembling the air guide plate 20 from the air conditioner body 10, firstly, quickly disconnect one end of the air guide plate 20 on its rotation axis from the air conditioner body 10 via the quick-release unit 30. Then, disassemble the other end of the air guide plate 20 on its rotation axis from the air conditioner body 10 via the connecting unit 80, thus separating the air guide plate 20 from the air conditioner body 10.

[0073] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the connecting unit 80 includes a second rotating shaft 81 and a rotating shaft seat 82. The rotating shaft seat 82 has a shaft hole 821, which is open along the axial direction of the second rotating shaft 81. The second rotating shaft 81 is inserted into the shaft hole 821.

[0074] One of the rotating shaft seat 82 and the second rotating shaft 81 is disposed on the air guide plate 20, and the other of the rotating shaft seat 82 and the second rotating shaft 81 is disposed on the air conditioner body 10. The rotating shaft seat 82 and the second rotating shaft 81 are rotatably engaged, and the engagement of the rotating shaft seat 82 and the second rotating shaft 81 with the air guide plate 20 and the air conditioner body 10 can be selected according to actual needs.

[0075] After the air guide plate 20 is assembled onto the air conditioner body 10, the first rotating shaft 31 and the second rotating shaft 81 are coaxially arranged. The air guide plate 20 rotates relative to the air outlet 11 with the axis of rotation of the second rotating shaft 81 as the axis of rotation. The length direction of the air guide plate 20 and the length direction of the air outlet 11 are consistent with the axial direction of the second rotating shaft 81. When assembling the air guide plate 20 and the air conditioner body 10, firstly, the air guide plate 20 moves relative to the air conditioner body 10 along the length direction of the air outlet 11 to insert and engage the second rotating shaft 81 with the shaft hole 821. Then, the air guide plate 20 is driven to move relative to the air conditioner body 10 along the axial direction perpendicular to the first rotating shaft 31, thereby assembling the first rotating shaft 31 and the quick-release assembly 32.

[0076] The disassembly of the air guide plate 20 and the air conditioner body 10 is similar, but the steps are reversed. First, drive the air guide plate 20 to move relative to the air conditioner body 10 along the axis direction perpendicular to the first rotating shaft 31, and separate the first rotating shaft 31 and the quick-release assembly 32. Then drive the air guide plate 20 to move relative to the air conditioner body 10 along the length direction, and take the second rotating shaft 81 out of the shaft hole 821, and separate the second rotating shaft 81 and the rotating shaft seat 82.

[0077] In other embodiments of the present invention, both ends of the rotation axis of the air guide plate 20 are detached and assembled with the air conditioner body 10 via quick-release units 30. By directly driving the air guide plate to move relative to the air conditioner body 10 in the inward and outward directions along the air outlet 11, both ends of the rotation axis of the air guide plate 20 can be assembled or disassembled with the quick-release components 32, further improving the assembly and disassembly efficiency of the air guide plate 20.

[0078] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 1 As shown, the rotation axis of the air guide plate 20 extends in the vertical direction, the quick-release unit 30 is located at the upper end of the air outlet 11, and the connecting unit 80 is located at the lower end of the air outlet 11.

[0079] When assembling the air guide plate 20 and the air conditioner body 10, first assemble the lower end of the air guide plate 20 to the air conditioner body 10, and then assemble the upper end of the air guide plate 20 to the air conditioner body 10. After the lower end of the air guide plate 20 is assembled to the air conditioner body 10 through the connecting unit 80, the lower end of the air outlet 11 supports the air guide plate 20. This eliminates the need to lift the air guide plate 20 during assembly, reduces the impact of gravity on the air guide plate 20, and lowers the difficulty of operation.

[0080] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 6As shown, the lower end of the air guide plate 20 is provided with a rotating shaft seat 82, such as... Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the air conditioner body 10 is provided with a second rotating shaft 81. The air guide plate 20 moves downward along the axial direction of the second rotating shaft 81 to insert and cooperate with the shaft hole 821, so that one end of the air guide plate 20 can be assembled with the air conditioner body 10.

[0081] like Figure 6 As shown, the connecting unit 80 includes a second motor 83, the output shaft 831 of the second motor being a second rotating shaft 81 and extending upwards, as... Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the rotating shaft seat 82 is sleeved downwards on the outside of the second rotating shaft 81 through the shaft hole 821, and the second rotating shaft 81 and the rotating shaft seat 82 are in a transmission cooperation.

[0082] The output shaft 831 of the second motor is the second rotating shaft 81. The second rotating shaft 81 can not only be inserted and matched with the rotating shaft seat 82, but also provide power for the rotation of the air guide plate 20, driving the air guide plate 20 to rotate relative to the air outlet 11.

[0083] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 1 As shown, the air conditioner body 10 has a quick-release assembly 32 at the upper end of the air outlet 11, such as... Figure 3 and Figure 11 As shown, the quick-release assembly 32 includes a mating shaft 4 and a locking member 5. The mating shaft 4 has a mating cavity 41 that extends through the outer peripheral surface of the mating shaft 4 to form a side opening 412. The locking member 5 is movably engaged with the mating shaft 4 to move between an unlocked position with the side opening 412 open and a locked position with the side opening 412 closed. Figure 4 As shown, the first rotating shaft 31 is located at the upper end of the air guide plate 20 and extends into the mating cavity 41 through the side opening 412.

[0084] The structure of the quick-release assembly 32 allows for quick assembly and disassembly of the quick-release assembly 32 and the first rotating shaft 31, such as... Figure 4 As shown, the first rotating shaft 31 and the mating shaft 4 have the same axial direction. The mating cavity 41 passes through the shaft end face and the outer peripheral surface of the mating shaft 4. The first rotating shaft 31 can be directly inserted into the mating cavity 41 along the opening direction of the side opening 412 to connect with the mating shaft 4. The first rotating shaft 31 can be directly removed from the mating cavity 41 along the opening direction of the side opening 412 to disconnect the connection between the first rotating shaft 31 and the mating shaft 4.

[0085] like Figure 3 As shown, when the locking member 5 is in the unlocked position, the locking member 5 opens the side opening 412, allowing the first rotating shaft 31 to directly enter and exit the mating cavity 41 through the side opening 412, thus realizing the assembly and disassembly of the first rotating shaft 31 and the quick-release assembly 32. Figure 11 and Figure 13As shown, when the locking member 5 is in the locked position, the locking member 5 closes the side opening 412, which can limit the first rotating shaft 31 in the mating cavity 41, thereby improving the connection stability between the first rotating shaft 31 and the mating shaft 4.

[0086] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 3 As shown, the mating cavity 41 penetrates the upper end face of the mating shaft 4 to form an end opening 411. The locking member 5 is a sliding piece 5a, which is sleeved on the mating shaft 4 and can switch between the unlocked and locked positions by sliding up and down. The sliding piece 5a can switch positions by moving up and down. The control of the sliding piece 5a is relatively simple, which can reduce the difficulty of disassembling and assembling the first rotating shaft 31 and the quick-release assembly 32.

[0087] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 14 and Figure 16 As shown, a groove 42 is formed on the outer circumferential surface of the mating shaft 4, and a buckle 51 is provided at the lower end of the sliding component 5a. When the sliding component 5a is in the locked position, the buckle 51 extends into the groove 42.

[0088] When the latch 51 and the slot 42 engage, the sliding component 5a is limited to the locked position, thereby improving the connection stability between the first rotating shaft 31 and the mating shaft 4. When the latch 51 and the slot 42 are disengaged, the sliding component 5a can move axially along the mating shaft 4. The sliding component 5a and the mating shaft 4 are mutually engaged through the latch 51 and the slot 42. When the sliding component 5a moves to the locked position, the engagement is automatically completed, facilitating the fixed connection of the first rotating shaft 31 and the mating shaft 4. Disengaging the latch 51 and the slot 42 is also relatively simple, simplifying the assembly and disassembly of the first rotating shaft 31 and the quick-release assembly 32.

[0089] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 4 As shown, the mating cavity 41 penetrates the upper end face of the mating shaft 4 to form an end opening 411. The first rotating shaft 31 extends downward, and the upper end of the first rotating shaft 31 is higher than the mating shaft 4. The end opening 411 on the upper end face of the mating shaft 4 can avoid the movement of the first rotating shaft 31.

[0090] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 14 and Figure 16 As shown, a first annular rib 43 and a second annular rib 44 are provided on the outer peripheral surface of the mating shaft 4. The first annular rib 43 and the second annular rib 44 are spaced apart along the axial direction of the mating shaft 4 to form a groove 42 between the first annular rib 43 and the second annular rib 44. The second annular rib 44 is provided on the shaft end face near the end opening 411 of the first annular rib 43.

[0091] Compared to setting an inwardly recessed groove 42 on the outer peripheral surface of the mating shaft 4, setting a protruding first annular rib 43 and a second annular rib 44 on the outer peripheral surface of the mating shaft 4 can improve the limiting of the buckle 51 and improve the stability of the sliding kit 5a when it is in the locked position.

[0092] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 14 and Figure 16 As shown, the shaft end of the forming end opening 411 of the mating shaft 4 is provided with a third annular rib 45 surrounding the mating shaft 4. When the sliding part 5a is in the locked position, the third annular rib 45 is in clearance fit or abutment fit with the inner rear end of the sliding part 5a.

[0093] In other embodiments of the invention, such as Figures 17-19 As shown, the air conditioner body 10 has a quick-release assembly 32 at the upper end of the air outlet 11, and a first rotating shaft 31 is provided at the upper end of the air guide plate 20. The connection between the first rotating shaft 31 and the air guide plate 20 is lower than the upper end of the mating shaft 4. The first rotating shaft 31 extends upward, and the upper end of the first rotating shaft 31 is lower than the upper end of the mating shaft 4.

[0094] The quick-release assembly 32 includes a mating shaft 4 and a locking member 5. The mating shaft 4 has a mating cavity 41 that extends through the outer circumferential surface of the mating shaft 4 to form a side opening 412. The locking member 5 is sleeved on the mating shaft 4 and rotates circumferentially along the mating shaft 4 to switch between an unlocked position and a locked position. When the locking member 5 is in the unlocked position, the locking member 5 fully opens the side opening 412. When the locking member 5 is in the locked position, the locking member 5 avoids the connection between the first rotating shaft 31 and the air guide plate 20 to at least partially block the side opening 412, thereby limiting the first rotating shaft 31 within the mating cavity 41 and improving the connection stability between the first rotating shaft 31 and the mating shaft 4.

[0095] like Figure 17 As shown, the first rotating shaft 31 extends upward and is naturally locked to the quick-release assembly 32 under the action of gravity, thereby eliminating the need for the limiting structure between the locking part 5 and the mating shaft 4 and reducing manufacturing costs.

[0096] In some embodiments of the present invention, the mating shaft 4 and the sliding assembly 5a are guided to engage by a guide structure, which guides the sliding assembly 5a to slide relative to the mating shaft 4 without rotation along the axial direction of the mating shaft 4.

[0097] By setting a guide structure, the stability of the sliding component 5a's movement between the locked and unlocked positions can be improved, and the sliding component 5a can be guided to move smoothly between the locked and unlocked positions, which is beneficial to improving the assembly and disassembly efficiency of the first rotating shaft 31 and the mating shaft 4.

[0098] The sliding component 5a can also be limited by the cooperation of the guide structure between the mating shaft 4 and the sliding component 5a. The sliding component 5a can move along the axial direction of the mating shaft 4 to switch between the unlocked position and the locked position. The limiting of the sliding component 5a relative to the mating shaft 4 by the guide mechanism can restrict the rotation of the sliding component 5a. This improves the situation where the sliding component 5a fails to open or block the side opening 412 due to the movement misalignment of the sliding component 5a, and improves the working stability of the sliding component 5a.

[0099] like Figure 14 and Figure 20 As shown, the guide structure includes a guide rib 54 and a guide groove 46 for guiding and fitting. The guide groove 46 is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the mating shaft 4 and extends along the axial direction of the mating shaft 4. The guide rib 54 protrudes from the inner peripheral surface of the sliding sleeve 5a.

[0100] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 20 As shown, the sliding assembly 5a includes an end ring portion 52 and a cantilever portion 53 arranged sequentially along the axial direction. The cantilever portion 53 includes elastic arms 531 and guide walls 532 arranged circumferentially spaced along the end ring portion 52. The inner surface of the guide wall 532 is provided with guide ribs 54, and a buckle 51 is provided at the end of the elastic arm 531 away from the end ring portion 52. Figure 14 As shown, a groove 42 is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the mating shaft 4. When the sliding component 5a is in the locked position, the buckle 51 is engaged in the groove 42 to prevent the sliding component 5a from moving axially along the mating shaft 4.

[0101] The guide rib 54 on the guide wall 532 is guided and engaged with the guide groove 46 on the mating shaft 4, guiding the sliding component 5a to slide rotatably along the axial direction of the mating shaft 4; the snap 51 of the elastic arm 531 is engaged with the snap groove 42 on the mating shaft 4, which can stably restrict the sliding component 5a to the locked position.

[0102] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 21 As shown, the quick-release assembly 32 includes a first motor 6 located below the mating shaft 4. The output 61 of the first motor is inserted upward into the mating shaft 4 to drive the first rotating shaft 31 to rotate through the mating shaft 4.

[0103] The first motor 6 drives the mating shaft 4 to rotate, and the first rotating shaft 31 located in the mating cavity 41 of the mating shaft 4 is driven to rotate synchronously by the mating shaft 4, thereby driving the air guide plate 20 to rotate relative to the air conditioner body 10.

[0104] In some embodiments of the present invention, the lower end of the air guide plate 20 is provided with a pivot seat 82, and the air conditioner body 10 is provided with a second pivot 81; the upper end of the air guide plate 20 is provided with a first pivot 31, and the air conditioner body 10 is provided with a quick-release assembly 32 at the upper end of the air outlet 11.

[0105] The connecting unit 80 includes a second motor 83, the output shaft 831 of the second motor is a second rotating shaft 81 and extends upward, the rotating shaft seat 82 is sleeved downward on the second rotating shaft 81 through the shaft hole 821, and the second rotating shaft 81 and the rotating shaft seat 82 are in a transmission engagement; the quick-release assembly 32 includes a first motor 6 and a mating shaft 4, the outer peripheral surface of the mating shaft 4 forms a side opening 412, the first rotating shaft 31 extends into and connects to the mating shaft 4 through the side opening 412, the first motor 6 is located below the mating shaft 4, and the output 61 of the first motor is inserted upward into the mating shaft 4 so as to drive the first rotating shaft 31 to rotate through the mating shaft 4.

[0106] The first rotating shaft 31 and the second rotating shaft 81 are coaxially arranged. The first motor 6 and the second motor 83 jointly drive the air guide plate 20 to rotate relative to the air conditioner body 10 from both the upper and lower ends of the air guide plate 20. By driving the air guide plate 20 to rotate from both the upper and lower ends of the air guide plate 20 body, the rotational stability of the air guide plate 20 can be improved, and the working reliability of the air guide plate 20 can be improved.

[0107] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 21 and Figure 22 As shown, the quick-release assembly 32 also includes a mounting base 7, on which the first motor 6 is mounted. The mounting base 7 is provided with a first limiting wall 72. The mounting base 7 serves to support and install the quick-release assembly 32, which is mounted on the air conditioner body 10 via the mounting base 7. The shaft 4, the sliding kit 5a, and the first motor 6 are all assembled on the mounting base 7.

[0108] like Figure 23 As shown, the air guide plate 20 includes a plate body 21 and a connecting arm 22. The connecting arm 22 is flush with or lower than the upper end of the plate body 21 and protrudes towards the windward side of the plate body 21. The upper end of the first rotating shaft 31 is connected to the connecting arm 22. The axis of the air guide plate 20 and the first rotating shaft 31 are the axis of rotation and rotate relative to the air conditioner body 10. Since the connecting arm 22 is flush with or lower than the upper end of the plate body 21, when the air guide plate 20 is assembled to the air conditioner body 10, the connecting arm 22 will not interfere with the edge of the air outlet 11, thus improving the rotational reliability of the air guide plate 20.

[0109] like Figure 24 and Figure 25 As shown, when the first motor 6 reaches the set state and the connecting arm 22 abuts against the first limiting wall 72, the first rotating shaft 31 is aligned with the side opening 412.

[0110] During the assembly of the air guide plate 20 with the air conditioner 100 body, the first limiting wall 72 can play a positioning role. For example... Figure 4As shown, the first motor 6 drives the mating shaft 4 to rotate. When the first motor 6 reaches the set state, the mating shaft 4 rotates to the disassembly / assembly position. When the connecting arm 22 abuts against the first limiting wall 72, the first rotating shaft 31 on the air guide plate 20 aligns with the side opening 412 on the mating shaft 4 located in the disassembly / assembly position. By directly driving the air guide plate 20 to move along the opening direction of the side opening 412, the first rotating shaft 31 can be inserted into the mating cavity 41. By setting the first limiting wall 72, the assembly efficiency of the air guide plate 20 can be improved.

[0111] The first limiting wall 72 can also limit the rotation of the air guide plate 20. The air guide plate 20 is rotatably disposed at the air outlet 11. When the air guide plate 20 rotates to the point where the connecting arm 22 abuts against the first limiting wall 72, the air guide plate 20 rotates to the limit position to guide the air outlet 11.

[0112] Furthermore, the first limiting wall 72 also serves a positioning function during the disassembly of the air guide plate 20. The first motor 6 drives the mating shaft 4 and the first rotating shaft 31 to rotate together. When the first motor 6 reaches the set state, the mating shaft 4 rotates to the disassembly / reassembly position, and the connecting arm 22 of the air guide plate 20 rotates to abut against the first limiting wall 72. At this time, if... Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the air guide plate 20 rotates to open the air outlet 11, allowing the user to directly access the quick-release component 32 through the air outlet 11. This allows for quick disconnection of the quick-release component 32 from the first rotating shaft 31, improving the disassembly efficiency of the air guide plate 20.

[0113] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 21 and Figure 22 As shown, the mounting base 7 includes a partition 71 through which the first motor 6 or the mating shaft 4 passes, so that the second motor 83 can be driven by the mating shaft 4.

[0114] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 22 As shown, the mounting base 7 includes a cavity 73, and the side wall of the cavity 73 has a clearance opening 74. The two circumferential ends of the clearance opening 74 are a second limiting wall 75 and a third limiting wall 76, respectively. Figure 4 As shown, a lever 55 protrudes from the peripheral wall of the sliding component 5a. When the sliding component 5a is in the locked position, it moves out of the recess 73, as shown. Figure 12 As shown, when in the unlocked position, the first motor 6 extends into the recess 73 and the paddle 55 extends into the clearance opening 74. When the paddle 55 rotates to abut against the second limiting wall 75, the first motor 6 enters the set state.

[0115] The mounting base 7 has a cavity 73. When the sliding component 5a is in the unlocked position, it is located within the cavity 73. The mounting base 7 provides support and protection for the sliding component 5a, allowing the user to quickly locate and re-drive it. When the sliding component 5a is in the locked position, it moves out of the cavity 73, preventing interference from the mounting base 7 when it rotates synchronously with the mating shaft 4, thus improving the stability of its movement.

[0116] The second limiting wall 75 on the mounting base 7 can play a positioning role during the assembly of the air guide plate 20. The first motor 6 drives the mating shaft 4 and the sliding component 5a to rotate synchronously. When the paddle 55 on the sliding component 5a rotates to abut against the second limiting wall 75, the second limiting wall 75 plays a positioning role, the first motor 6 reaches the set state, and the mating shaft 4 rotates to the disassembly / assembly position. At this time, the connecting arm 22 of the air guide plate 20 is then abutted against the first limiting wall 72, so that the first rotating shaft 31 and the mating shaft 4 can be assembled and connected.

[0117] In some embodiments of the present invention, the third limiting wall 76 on the mounting base 7 can play a positioning role during the assembly process of the mating shaft 4 and the mounting base 7. After the first motor 6 and the mating shaft 4 are connected, the first motor 6 and the mating shaft 4 are installed as a whole onto the mounting base 7. Then, the first motor 6 needs to be brought to a set state to drive the mating shaft 4 to rotate to the disassembly position so that the first rotating shaft 31 and the quick-release assembly 32 can be assembled subsequently.

[0118] After the first motor 6 and the mating shaft 4 are installed as a whole onto the mounting base 7, the sliding component 5a is assembled with the mating shaft 4 and moved to the unlocked position. However, directly rotating the mating shaft 4 and the sliding component 5a together until the paddle 55 abuts against the second limiting wall 75 is inaccurate, which will result in the incorrect state of the first motor 6 and the inability of the mating shaft 4 to meet the quick insertion and insertion requirements of the first rotating shaft 31. In this embodiment of the invention, by setting a third limiting wall 76, the mating shaft 4 and the sliding component 5a are rotated together until the paddle 55 abuts against the third limiting wall 76, and then the first motor 6 is driven to control the mating shaft 4 and the sliding component 5a to rotate together until the paddle 55 abuts against the second limiting wall 75. This ensures that the mating shaft 4 is accurately rotated to the disassembly / removal position, facilitating the subsequent assembly of the first rotating shaft 31 and the quick-release assembly 32, and improving assembly efficiency.

[0119] It is worth noting that the assembly of the mating shaft 4 and the mounting base 7 often occurs during the factory assembly stage or the after-sales stage by professional repair personnel. The process of the first motor 6 driving the paddle 55 to rotate from being stopped by the third limiting wall 76 to being stopped by the second limiting wall 75 can be achieved by a preset rotation angle. After the mating shaft 4 and the sliding kit 5a are rotated together until the paddle 55 abuts against the third limiting wall 76, the motor shaft of the first motor 6 can be rotated by a preset angle with one key, thus completing the first motor 6 to the set state and further improving the assembly efficiency of the quick-release assembly 32.

[0120] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the air conditioner body 10 includes an air outlet frame 12, and a crossbeam 13 is provided on the air outlet frame 12, such as... Figure 26 As shown, the crossbeam 13 and the air guide plate 20 are pivotally engaged by a pivot unit 90. The pivot unit 90 includes a pivot shaft 91 and a pivot seat 92. The pivot seat 92 defines a pivot hole 921 that engages with the pivot shaft 91. The pivot seat 92 has a bayonet 922 that opens in a direction perpendicular to the axis of the pivot shaft 91. The pivot shaft 91 is adapted to be assembled into the pivot hole 921 through the bayonet 922.

[0121] like Figure 8 As shown, the air outlet frame 12 defines the air outlet 11, the crossbeam 13 is set at the air outlet 11, and the air guide plate 20 is rotatably engaged with the crossbeam 13 so that the air guide plate 20 can rotate relative to the air outlet 11.

[0122] The pivoting unit 90 includes a pivoting shaft 91 and a pivoting seat 92 that are pivotally engaged. One of the pivoting shaft 91 and the pivoting seat 92 is disposed on the air guide plate 20, and the other of the pivoting shaft 91 and the pivoting seat 92 is disposed on the crossbeam 13. The engagement of the pivoting shaft 91 and the pivoting seat 92 with the air guide plate 20 and the crossbeam 13 can be selected according to actual needs.

[0123] A pivot shaft 91 passes through a pivot hole 921, and the pivot shaft 91 and the pivot hole 921 are rotatably fitted. A bayonet 922 is formed on the pivot seat 92, through which the pivot shaft 91 can enter and exit the pivot hole 921. The bayonet 922 can undergo elastic deformation, and after deformation, it accommodates the pivot shaft 91 to be assembled into or removed from the pivot hole 921. After the pivot shaft 91 is assembled into the pivot hole 921, the bayonet 922 returns to its original shape, limiting the radial movement of the pivot shaft 91 and improving the rotational stability of the pivot shaft 91.

[0124] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 26 As shown, the pivot shaft 91 is mounted on the air guide plate 20, and the pivot seat 92 is formed on the crossbeam 13.

[0125] In some embodiments of the present invention, a protective railing is provided at the air outlet 11. The protective railing is connected to the crossbeam 13. The protective railing can prevent users from extending into the interior of the air conditioner 100 through the air outlet 11, thereby preventing the risk of electric shock and improving the working reliability of the air conditioner 100.

[0126] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 1 As shown, there are multiple pivot units 90, which are spaced apart along the extension direction of the rotation axis of the air guide plate 20. By setting multiple pivot units 90, the rotational stability of the air guide plate 20 is stronger, which can improve the air guiding stability of the air guide plate 20.

[0127] like Figure 5 and Figure 28 As shown, the air guide plate 20 includes a plate body 21 and a pivot member 23. The plate body 21 has multiple ventilation holes 211 and an integrally formed mounting part 212. The pivot shaft 91 is integrally formed on the pivot member 23 and the pivot member 23 is engaged with the mounting part 212.

[0128] By integrally molding the pivot shaft 91 onto the pivot member 23, and designing the pivot member 23 and the plate body 21 as separate parts, with the pivot member 23 and the plate body 21 being molded separately and then engaging with the mounting part 212, the manufacturing difficulty of the air guide plate 20 can be reduced compared to the design of integrally molding the air guide plate 20. Furthermore, the integral molding design of the mounting part 212 and the plate body 21 saves the assembly process of the mounting part 212 and the plate body 21, reducing assembly difficulty.

[0129] The snap-fit ​​connection between the pivot 23 and the mounting part 212 can reduce the assembly difficulty of the pivot 23 and the mounting part 212, save the use of fasteners such as screws, reduce costs, and improve assembly efficiency.

[0130] Multiple ventilation holes 211 are provided on the two sides of the plate body 21 through the thickness direction of the plate body 21. The air supply of the air conditioner 100 can flow out along the ventilation holes 211. The airflow is dispersed into multiple small airflows by the multiple ventilation holes 211, reducing the discomfort of the airflow blowing directly on the human body, so as to achieve low wind feeling air supply.

[0131] It is worth noting that the ventilation hole 211 penetrates both sides of the thickness direction of the plate body 21. The ventilation hole 211 can be installed along the thickness direction of the plate body 21 or it can be installed inclined to the thickness direction of the plate body 21, as long as the air inlet and air outlet of the ventilation hole 211 are located on both sides of the thickness direction of the plate body 21.

[0132] It is also worth noting that the plate body 21 has multiple ventilation holes 211. Optionally, the ventilation holes 211 are evenly distributed throughout the plate body 21, or alternatively, ventilation holes 211 are provided in certain parts of the plate body 21. Both of these fall within the protection scope of the present invention. Figure 28 As shown, a portion of the plate body 21 is provided with ventilation holes 211, which is only for illustrative purposes and should not be construed as a limitation of the present invention.

[0133] The disassembly process of the air guide plate 20 and the air conditioner body 10 is described below with reference to the attached drawings.

[0134] like Figure 1 As shown, in the initial state, the air guide plate 20 is rotatably mounted at the air outlet 11. The upper end of the air guide plate 20 is detachably connected to the air conditioner body 10 via a quick-release unit 30, and the lower end of the air guide plate 20 is detachably connected to the air conditioner body 10 via a connecting unit 80. The middle position between the upper and lower ends of the air guide plate 20 is pivotally connected to the crossbeam 13 via multiple pivoting units 90. The first rotating shaft 31 of the quick-release unit 30, the second rotating shaft 81 of the connecting unit 80, and the pivoting shaft 91 of the pivoting unit 90 are coaxially arranged, and the air guide plate 20 rotates relative to the air outlet 11 about the axis of rotation.

[0135] First, rotate the air guide plate 20 until the connecting arm 22 of the air guide plate 20 abuts against the first limiting wall 72. At this time, the air guide plate 20 opens the first air outlet 11 and the shaft 4 is in the disassembly position.

[0136] Then, the upper end of the air guide plate 20 is detached from the air conditioner body 10. The user drives the locking part 5 of the quick release unit 30 to move from the locked position to the unlocked position. The air guide plate 20 moves along the axis that is generally perpendicular to the first rotating shaft 31, which can separate the first rotating shaft 31 and the quick release assembly 32.

[0137] Subsequently, as Figure 8 As shown, the middle part of the air guide plate 20 is disassembled from the crossbeam 13, and the pivot shaft 91 is taken out from the pivot hole 921 through the bayonet 922. The pivot shafts 91 of the multiple pivot units 90 are taken out from the pivot holes 921 respectively.

[0138] Finally, as Figure 9 As shown, the lower end of the air guide plate 20 is detached from the air conditioner body 10, the air guide plate 20 is moved upward, the second rotating shaft 81 is taken out from the shaft hole 821, and the second rotating shaft 81 and the rotating shaft seat 82 are separated.

[0139] The assembly process of the air guide plate 20 and the air conditioner body 10 is similar but the steps are reversed. First, the lower end of the air guide plate 20 is assembled with the air conditioner body 10, then the middle part of the air guide plate 20 is assembled with the crossbeam 13, and finally the upper end of the air guide plate 20 is assembled with the air conditioner body 10.
