[0002] Floor-standing air conditioners typically have sweeping blades at the air outlet to distribute air to different areas of the room. However, in related technologies, increasing the number of air outlets in floor-standing air conditioners leads to an increase in the number of sweeping blades, and the assembly process for these blades is cumbersome, resulting in reduced assembly efficiency for the air conditioner. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The present invention aims to at least solve one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. To this end, the present invention provides an air conditioner in which the assembly process of the air guide vanes is simplified, thereby improving the assembly efficiency of the air conditioner.
[0004] An air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: an air conditioner body having a first air duct within it, the first air duct including a plurality of air outlet sections, the air conditioner body including a flow divider for splitting airflow between the plurality of air outlet sections; and an air guide component including multiple air guide vanes spaced apart along the length direction of the flow divider, each air guide vane being a single piece including multiple blade portions, the multiple blade portions corresponding to and cooperating with the plurality of air outlet sections, at least a portion of the air guide vane being flexibly deformable to adjust the airflow angle of the blade portions, and the air guide vane being snap-fitted into the flow divider.
[0005] According to the air conditioner of the present invention, by integrating the air guide vanes into a single unit, multiple vane sections can be installed simultaneously in a single installation process, thereby reducing the installation steps of the air guide components, simplifying the assembly process, and improving assembly efficiency. Furthermore, the snap-fit connection between the air guide vanes and the flow divider further reduces the assembly difficulty of the air guide vanes and the flow divider, further improving the assembly efficiency of the air guide vanes.
[0006] In some embodiments, the diverter is integrally formed with an elastic buckle, and the guide vane is integrally formed with a snap-fit portion, which engages with the elastic buckle.
[0007] In some embodiments, the snap-fit portion is located on the side of the air guide vane near the diverter, and the end of the snap-fit portion away from the air guide vane is a snap protrusion, which stops the elastic buckle on the side away from the air guide vane.
[0008] In some embodiments, an opening is formed on the diverter, and the elastic buckle extends from the edge of the opening toward a direction away from the guide vane. The end of the elastic buckle away from the opening in the extension direction is a spring buckle. The snap-fit portion passes through the opening, and the snap protrusion extends to the side of the spring buckle away from the opening. The spring buckle stops the snap protrusion from moving toward the opening.
[0009] In some embodiments, there are two elastic buckles disposed on both sides of the latching portion. The elastic buckles extend toward the latching portion to stop the latching protrusion. At least one of the elastic buckles and the latching protrusion is provided with a guide slope, which is used to guide the latching protrusion to move from the opening toward the elastic buckle.
[0010] In some embodiments, the end of the snap-fit portion away from the snap protrusion has a first rib protruding toward the elastic buckles on both sides.
[0011] Furthermore, the edge of the snap-fit portion has a second protruding rib that connects the first protruding rib and the snap-fit protrusion, and the second protruding rib is arranged to avoid the elastic buckle.
[0012] In some embodiments, the guide vane includes two blade portions and a mounting portion connected between the two blade portions. The snap-fit portion is provided on the side of the mounting portion facing the diverter. The edge of the mounting portion near the diverter has a limiting portion. The limiting portion is located on both sides of the snap-fit portion so that the side of the snap-fit portion near each blade portion has the limiting portion. The snap-fit protrusion protrudes from the limiting portion in the direction facing the diverter. The diverter has a support portion corresponding to the limiting portion. The limiting portion abuts against the side of the support portion near the guide vane.
[0013] In some embodiments, a groove is formed on the flow divider, which is recessed in a direction away from the guide vane. The bottom wall of the groove in the recessed direction is formed as the support portion. The groove width matches the thickness of the guide vane. The edge of the guide vane near the flow divider is embedded in the groove.
[0014] In some embodiments, the guide vane includes two blade portions and a mounting portion connected between the two blade portions. The guide vane engages with the diverter at the mounting portion. The end of the blade portion away from the engagement portion is the air outlet end. The blade portion has a thinning area. There are multiple thinning areas that are spaced apart in the direction from the mounting portion to the air outlet end. The thinning area is elongated and its two ends extend to both sides of the width of the blade portion.
[0015] In some embodiments, the diverter is disposed on the side of the guide vane away from the inlet of the first air duct, the edge of the mounting portion away from the diverter is the air inlet end, and at least one edge of the air inlet end and the air outlet end has multiple protrusions.
[0016] In some embodiments, the air guide component further includes a pull rod and a drive assembly. The length direction of the pull rod is consistent with the length direction of the diverter and is respectively connected to multiple blades within the same air outlet section. The drive assembly cooperates with the pull rod to drive the pull rod to move in the length direction of the pull rod. The air guide blades are deformed by the pull rod, causing the blades to change their swing angle.
[0017] In some embodiments, the air conditioner body includes an air outlet frame, a front frame, and a front panel. The front frame is located on the front side of the air outlet frame to form two air outlet sections between the front frame and the air outlet frame. The diverter is installed in the middle of the front frame and diverts the air at the intersection of the inlets of the two air outlet sections. The front panel is located on the front side of the front frame. The drive assembly is located outside the air outlet sections and between the front frame and the front panel. The pull rod is located inside the air outlet sections and on the side of the guide vane closer to the front frame.
[0018] In some embodiments, the air conditioner body includes a front panel, with side air outlets on the left and right sides of the front panel, and a cross-flow duct inside the air conditioner body. The cross-flow duct extends vertically along its axis, and the inlet of the first duct is connected to the outlet of the cross-flow duct. The first duct has two air outlet sections, which extend to the left and right sides respectively to communicate with the side air outlets on both sides.
[0019] In some embodiments, the air conditioner body further includes an upper air outlet above the front panel and a lower air outlet below the front panel.

[0056] An air conditioner 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0057] 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 1 and an air guide component 2. The air conditioner body 1 has a first air duct 11, which includes multiple air outlet sections 111. The air conditioner body 1 includes a flow divider 12 that divides the airflow among the multiple air outlet sections 111. The air guide component 2 includes multiple air guide vanes 21, which are spaced apart along the length of the flow divider 12. The air guide vanes 21 are integral and include multiple blade portions 211. The multiple blade portions 211 are respectively matched with the multiple air outlet sections 111. At least a portion of the air guide vanes 21 can be flexibly deformed so that the blade portions 211 can adjust the air guiding angle. The air guide vanes 21 are snap-fitted into the flow divider 12.
[0058] The air conditioner 100 delivers air through multiple air outlet sections 111, increasing its air delivery range. By using a flow divider 125, the airflow is distributed to each air outlet section 111, resulting in a more uniform airflow and improved air delivery efficiency. Guide vanes 21 within each air outlet section 111 guide the airflow, adjusting the direction of airflow from the air conditioner 100 and further enhancing its air delivery range. The flow divider 12 diverts airflow from the first air duct 11, and multiple guide vanes 21 are spaced along the length of the flow divider 12 to guide airflow throughout the first air duct 11. It is worth noting that the construction of the flow divider 12 is not limited; it may include only one guide vane or multiple guide vanes.
[0059] The air guide vane 21 includes multiple blade sections 211, which are respectively matched with multiple air outlet sections 111. The blade sections 211 can adjust the air guiding angle to guide air to different air outlet sections 111, thereby adjusting the air outlet direction of the air conditioner 100 and improving the air supply range of the air conditioner 100.
[0060] The air guide vane 21 is a one-piece molded part and at least part of it can be flexibly deformed. By integrating the blades 211 in different air outlet sections 111 into one piece, compared with the related technology of installing multiple blades separately, the present invention can complete the installation of multiple blades 211 in one installation process, thereby reducing the installation steps of the air guide component 2, simplifying the assembly process, and improving the assembly efficiency.
[0061] The ability to flexibly deform at least a portion of the guide vane 21 increases the degree of deformation and the range of motion of the guide vane 21, thereby increasing the air guiding angle of the blade portion 211 and improving the air guiding effect of the guide vane 21. It is worth noting that the location where the guide vane 21 can flexibly deform is not limited; it can flexibly deform the blade portion 211 or the root of the blade portion 211, and is not subject to specific limitations.
[0062] By installing the guide vane 21 on the flow divider 12, and taking advantage of the fact that the flow divider 12 is adjacent to multiple air outlet sections 111, the installation position requirements of the guide vane 21 are met. In this way, the airflow diverted by the flow divider 12 flows smoothly towards the blade section 211, which can improve the air guiding effect. Furthermore, the assembly method of the guide vane 21 and the flow divider 12 with a snap-fit connection can also reduce the difficulty of assembling and disassembling the guide vane 21 and the flow divider 12, further improving the assembly efficiency of the guide vane 21.
[0063] According to the air conditioner 100 of the present invention, by integrating the air guide vanes 21 into a single unit, multiple vane sections 211 can be installed simultaneously in a single installation process, thereby reducing the installation steps of the air guide components 2, simplifying the assembly process, and improving assembly efficiency. Furthermore, the snap-fit engagement between the air guide vanes 21 and the flow divider 12 further reduces the assembly difficulty of the air guide vanes 21 and the flow divider 12, further improving the assembly efficiency of the air guide vanes 21.
[0064] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 3 As shown, the flow divider 12 has an integrally formed elastic buckle 121, and the air guide vane 21 has an integrally formed snap-fit part 212, which snaps into the elastic buckle 121.
[0065] The elastic buckle 121 can undergo elastic deformation. The snap-fit between the elastic buckle 121 and the snap-fit part 212 makes the assembly and disassembly of the guide vane 21 and the flow divider 12 relatively simple and convenient. The elastic buckle 121 and the flow divider 12 are integrally formed, which can improve the overall integrity of the elastic buckle 121, which is conducive to improving the structural stability of the elastic buckle 121 and the working stability of the elastic buckle 121.
[0066] Since the air guide vane 21 is a single piece and at least part of it can undergo flexible deformation, the elastic buckle 121 set on the diverter 12 has a greater clamping force than the elastic buckle 121 set on the air guide vane 21, which can improve the working reliability of the elastic buckle 121.
[0067] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 4 As shown, the snap-fit part 212 is provided on the side of the air guide vane 21 near the diverter 12. The end of the snap-fit part 212 away from the air guide vane 21 is a snap protrusion 2121, which stops the elastic buckle 121 on the side away from the air guide vane 21.
[0068] The snap-fit portion 212 is located close to the diverter 12, allowing the guide vane 21 to directly engage with the elastic buckle 121 without interfering with other components on the guide vane 21. The snap-fit portion 212 has a snap protrusion 2121 located at the end of the snap-fit portion 212 furthest from the guide vane 21. After the snap-fit portion 212 engages with the elastic buckle 121, the snap protrusion 2121 is stopped by the elastic buckle 121 on the side of the elastic buckle 121 furthest from the guide vane 21. The engagement of the elastic buckle 121 and the snap protrusion 2121 also restricts the snap-fit portion 212 from moving towards the guide vane 21, further improving the stability of the engagement after the snap-fit portion 212 and the elastic buckle 121 are engaged.
[0069] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, an opening 122 is formed on the diverter 12, and an elastic latch 121 extends from the edge of the opening 122 toward a direction away from the guide vane 21. The end of the elastic latch 121 that is away from the opening 122 in the extension direction is a spring latch 1211. Figure 8 As shown, the latching part 212 passes through the opening 122, and the latching protrusion 2121 extends to the side of the spring buckle 1211 away from the opening 122. The spring buckle 1211 stops the latching protrusion 2121 from moving toward the opening 122.
[0070] The diverter 12 has an opening 122. When the snap-fit part 212 is snapped into the elastic buckle 121, the snap-fit part 212 extends into the opening 122 and moves along the extension direction of the elastic buckle 121 until the snap protrusion 2121 extends to the side of the snaple 121 away from the opening 122. During the insertion of the locking part 212, the locking protrusion 2121 drives the elastic buckle 121 to undergo elastic deformation, avoiding the movement of the locking part 212. After the locking protrusion 2121 extends out of the side of the elastic buckle 121 away from the opening 122, the elastic buckle 121 returns to its original state and engages with the locking part 212. Furthermore, the spring buckle 1211 stops the locking protrusion 2121 on the side near the guide vane 21, thereby preventing the locking protrusion 2121 from moving towards the opening 122, which also prevents the locking part 212 from moving towards the opening 122. The engagement of the spring buckle 1211 and the locking protrusion 2121 can also limit the movement of the guide vane 21 towards the opening 122.
[0071] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 6 and Figure 8 As shown, there are two elastic latches 121, which are located on both sides of the latching portion 212. The elastic latches 1211 extend towards the latching portion 212 to stop the latching protrusion 2121. Figure 11 As shown, at least one of the spring clip 1211 and the latching protrusion 2121 is provided with a guide slope, which is used to guide the latching protrusion 2121 to move from the opening 122 to the spring clip 1211.
[0072] During the insertion of the locking part 212, the locking protrusion 2121 drives the two elastic latches 121 to undergo elastic deformation, causing the two elastic latches 121 to deform away from each other to avoid movement of the locking part 212. After the locking part extends out of the side of the elastic latches 121 away from the opening 122, the two elastic latches 121 return to their original shape, and the spring latch 1211 engages with the locking part 212, stopping the locking protrusion 2121 on the side near the guide vane 21.
[0073] By providing a guide slope on at least one of the spring buckle 1211 and the latching protrusion 2121, the movement of the latching protrusion 2121 from the opening 122 to the spring buckle 1211 can be guided, making it easier for the latching protrusion 2121 to push the two spring buckles 1211 apart so that the latching part 212 and the elastic latch 121 can engage, further improving assembly efficiency.
[0074] In some embodiments of the present invention, both the spring clip 1211 and the latch protrusion 2121 are provided with guide slopes, such as Figure 11 As shown, the snap fastener 1211 has a first guide slope 12111 on the side facing the opening 122. The first guide slope 12111 gradually extends away from the opening 122 in the direction from the opening 122 to the snap fastener 1211. Figure 13 As shown, a second guide slope 21211 is provided at the end of the latch 2121 that is away from the guide vane 21. The second guide slope 21211 gradually extends away from the opening 122 in the direction from the opening 122 to the spring latch 1211. During the insertion of the latching part 212, the second guide slope 21211 contacts the first guide slope 12111, thereby guiding the latch 2121 to move from the opening 122 to the spring latch 1211.
[0075] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 12 and Figure 13 As shown, the end of the snap-fit portion 212 away from the snap protrusion 2121 has a first rib 2122 protruding toward the elastic snaps 121 on both sides.
[0076] like Figure 13 As shown, the cross-sectional area at the protrusion 2121 is larger than the cross-sectional area at other locations of the latching part 212, thereby reducing the weight of the guide vane 21, which is beneficial for manufacturing and can save manufacturing costs.
[0077] When engaging the snap-fit part 212 with the elastic buckle 121, the snap-fit part 212 extends into the opening 122. The diameter of the opening 122 must accommodate the snap-fit protrusion 2121; therefore, the diameter of the opening 122 is larger than the cross-sectional area of other parts of the snap-fit part 212. By providing the first protruding rib 2122, the opening 122 is blocked after the snap-fit part 212 and the elastic buckle 121 are engaged, thereby improving the overall integrity of the assembled air guide vane 21 and the flow divider 12, and also serving as a dustproof function, reducing the entry of pollutants from the opening 122 that could damage the engagement between the snap-fit part 212 and the elastic buckle 121. Furthermore, providing the first protruding rib 2122 also improves the structural strength of the snap-fit part 212, which is beneficial for improving the installation stability of the snap-fit part 212 and the flow divider 12, and improving the working stability of the air guide vane 21.
[0078] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 12 and Figure 13 As shown, the edge of the snap-fit part 212 has a second rib 2123 that connects the first rib 2122 and the snap-fit 2121. The second rib 2123 is designed to avoid the elastic buckle 121.
[0079] By setting the second rib 2123, the structural strength of the snap-fit part 212 can be improved, which is conducive to improving the installation stability of the snap-fit part 212 and the diverter 12, and improving the working stability of the guide vane 21.
[0080] The second rib 2123 is connected between the first rib 2122 and the snap rib 2121. Therefore, the extension direction of the second rib 2123 is consistent with the extension direction of the elastic snap 121. The arrangement of the second rib 2123 avoids the setting of the elastic snap 121, so as to avoid interference with the normal operation of the elastic snap 121.
[0081] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 12 As shown, the guide vane 21 includes two blade sections 211 and a mounting section 213 connecting the two blade sections 211. A snap-fit section 212 is provided on the side of the mounting section 213 facing the diverter 12. Figure 13 and Figure 15 As shown, the mounting portion 213 has a limiting portion 214 on one edge near the diverter 12. The limiting portion 214 is located on both sides of the snap-fit portion 212, so that the side of the snap-fit portion 212 near each blade portion 211 has a limiting portion 214. The snap protrusion 2121 protrudes towards the diverter 12 relative to the limiting portion 214. The diverter 12 has a support portion 123 corresponding to the limiting portion 214. The limiting portion 214 abuts against the side of the support portion 123 near the guide vane 21.
[0082] When the engaging part 212 is engaged with the elastic buckle 121, the engaging part 212 extends into the opening 122. After the elastic buckle 121 engages with the engaging part 212, the spring buckle 1211 stops on the side of the protrusion 2121 near the guide vane 21, preventing the protrusion 2121 from moving towards the opening 122, that is, preventing the engaging part 212 from moving towards the opening 122. The limiting part 214 and the support part 123 abut against each other, preventing the engaging part 212 from continuing to move along the opening 122 towards the spring buckle 1211. This limits the guide vane 21 relative to the diverter 12 in the installation direction of the guide vane 21, further improving the assembly stability of the guide vane 21 and the diverter 12, and improving the working reliability of the guide vane 21.
[0083] The limiting part 214 is two and is respectively provided on both sides of the snap-fit part 212, so that the side of the snap-fit part 212 near each blade part 211 has the limiting part 214, which can increase the contact area between the guide vane 21 and the diverter 12 and improve the support.
[0084] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 16 and Figure 17 As shown, a groove 124 is formed on the flow divider 12, recessed in a direction away from the guide vane 21, and the bottom wall of the groove 124 in the recessed direction is formed as a support portion 123. Figure 19 As shown, the groove width of the groove 124 matches the thickness of the guide vane 21, and the edge of the guide vane 21 near the diverter 12 is embedded in the groove 124.
[0085] When the guide vane 21 is assembled onto the flow divider 12, the limiting part 214 abuts against the bottom of the groove 124. Since the groove 124 has a certain depth, at least part of the side of the guide vane 21 in the thickness direction will extend into the groove 124. The groove width of the groove 124 matches the thickness of the guide vane 21, so that the edge of the guide vane 21 near the flow divider 12 is embedded in the groove 124. This not only increases the contact area between the guide vane 21 and the flow divider 12 and improves the connection stability, but also limits the vertical direction of the guide vane 21 relative to the flow divider 12 in the installation direction of the guide vane 21, further improving the assembly stability of the guide vane 21 and the flow divider 12 and improving the working reliability of the guide vane 21.
[0086] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 15 As shown, there are two limiting portions 214, which are respectively provided on both sides of the locking portion 212, correspondingly, as... Figure 17 As shown, the diverter 12 also has two support portions 123 that correspond one-to-one with the limiting portion 214. For example... Figure 15 and Figure 19 As shown, the special shape design of the limiting part 214 allows the limiting part 214 to cooperate with the support part 123 to restrict the movement of the guide vane 21 in the direction between the two limiting parts 214, thereby limiting the guide vane 21 relative to the diverter 12.
[0087] It is worth noting that, in this embodiment of the invention, the air guide vane 21 and the flow divider 12 are limited in six directions through the cooperation of the latch protrusion 2121 and the spring buckle 1211, the cooperation of the limiting part 214 and the support part 123, and the cooperation of the limiting part 214 and the groove 124. This improves the assembly stability of the air guide vane 21 and the flow divider 12, reduces the shaking of the air guide vane 21 relative to the flow divider 12, and improves the working reliability of the air guide vane 21.
[0088] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 20As shown, the guide vane 21 includes two blade portions 211 and a mounting portion 213 connected between the two blade portions 211. The guide vane 21 is engaged with the diverter 12 at the mounting portion 213. The end of the blade portion 211 away from the mounting portion 212 is the air outlet end 211a. The blade portion 211 has a thinning area 2111. The limiting portion 214 is located between the thinning area 2111 and the mounting portion 212, so that the engagement of the limiting portion 214 with the groove 124 will not affect the deformation of the thinning area 2111.
[0089] The thinning zone 2111 is multiple and is spaced apart in the direction from the mounting part 213 to the air outlet 211a. The thinning zone 2111 is elongated and its two ends extend to both sides of the width of the blade part 211.
[0090] The airflow direction of the blade section 211 is the same as that of the mounting section 213 towards the air outlet 211a. After passing through the diverter 12, the airflow flows along the mounting section 213 of the diverter 12 towards the air outlet 211a, thereby enabling the airflow diverted by the diverter 12 to flow smoothly towards the blade section 211, which can improve the air guiding effect.
[0091] The blade portion 211 has a relatively thinned area 2111. Compared with other parts of the blade portion 211, the blade portion 211 is more likely to deform relative to the thinned area 2111. By setting the thinned area 2111, the driving force required for the deformation of the blade portion 211 can be reduced, making the blade portion 211 easier to deform and improving the working reliability of the guide vane 21. It can also increase the deformation range of the blade portion 211 and increase the movement range of the blade portion 211, which can improve the guiding effect on the airflow and direct the airflow to a farther distance, thereby increasing the air supply range of the air conditioner 100.
[0092] The thinning region 2111 is elongated and extends to both ends of the width of the blade section 211. The width of the blade section 211 refers to the two sides along the direction of airflow through the blade section 211. For example... Figure 20 The front edge 211c and rear edge 211d marked in the figure are the two sides of the width of the blade portion 211.
[0093] By extending the thinning zone 2111 along the width direction of the blade portion 211, a portion of the blade portion 211 can bend and deform along the length direction of the thinning zone 2111 towards the thickness direction of the blade portion 211, and oscillate in the thickness direction of the blade portion 211, thereby guiding the airflow towards the thickness direction of the blade portion 211, thus increasing the air delivery range in the thickness direction of the blade portion 211. Furthermore, by setting multiple thinning zones 2111, the deformation amplitude of the blade portion 211 can be increased, increasing the range of motion of the blade portion 211 and improving the airflow guidance effect. Moreover, by setting multiple thinning zones 2111 at intervals along the airflow direction of the blade portion 211, the blade portion 211 can deform multiple times along the airflow direction, making the surface change of the blade portion 211 in the airflow direction smoother, which helps reduce airflow resistance, ensures smooth air delivery, and improves the air guiding effect of the air guide component 2.
[0094] In some embodiments of the present invention, the thickness of the blade portion 211 is equal at each thinning region 2111.
[0095] In other embodiments of the present invention, the blade portion 211 has a different thickness at at least two thinning regions 2111, and the thickness of the two thinning regions 2111 with different thicknesses is not less than the thickness of the portion closer to the mounting portion 213.
[0096] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 20 As shown, the portion of the blade portion 211 between two adjacent thinning regions 2111 is a connecting region 2112. The thickness of the blade portion 211 at the connecting region 2112 is greater than the thickness at the thinning region 2111. The surface of the blade portion 211 smoothly transitions at the connection between the connecting region 2112 and the thinning region 2111 through a curved surface.
[0097] The thinning zones 2111 are multiple and spaced apart along the direction of airflow through the blade section 211. Adjacent thinning zones 2111 are connected by a connecting zone 2112. In other words, along the direction of airflow through the blade section 211, the blade section 211 has alternating thicknesses, so that the surface of the blade section 211 in the thickness direction becomes a corrugated surface, further enhancing the guiding effect on the airflow.
[0098] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 1 As shown, the diverter 12 is located on the side of the guide vane 21 away from the inlet of the first air duct 11, such as... Figure 20 As shown, the side edge of the mounting part 213 away from the diverter 12 is the air inlet end 211b, and at least one edge of the air inlet end 211b and the air outlet end 211a has a plurality of protrusions 2113.
[0099] By providing multiple protrusions 2113 at at least one edge of the air inlet 211b and the air outlet 211a, the airflow can be sorted, the airflow in the first air duct 11 can be improved, and the noise can be reduced, thus reducing the noise of the air conditioner 100 when it delivers air.
[0100] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 20 As shown, multiple protrusions 2113 are serrated to streamline the airflow and reduce noise in the air supply within the first air duct 11.
[0101] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 20 As shown, the edges of the air inlet end 211b of the two blade sections 211 and the air outlet end 211a of the guide vane 21 both have multiple protrusions 2113.
[0102] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 21 As shown, the air guide component 2 also includes a pull rod 22 and a drive assembly 23. The length direction of the pull rod 22 is consistent with the length direction of the diverter 12, and it is connected to multiple blade sections 211 in the same air outlet section 111. The drive assembly 23 cooperates with the pull rod 22 to drive the pull rod 22 to move in the length direction of the pull rod 22. The air guide blade 21 deforms under the drive of the pull rod 22, causing the blade section 211 to change the swing angle.
[0103] The pull rod 22 is connected to multiple blade sections 211 within the same air outlet section 111. The pull rod 22 can simultaneously drive the deformation or movement of multiple blade sections 211 within the same air outlet section 111. The synchronous deformation and movement of multiple blade sections 211 within the same air outlet section 111 can improve the guiding effect on airflow. The drive assembly 23 provides power to the air guide component 2. The drive assembly 23 pulls the pull rod 22 to move along the length direction of the flow divider 12, thereby causing the guide vanes 21 to deform and swing along the length direction of the flow divider 12, thus changing the swing angle.
[0104] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 1 and Figure 22 As shown, the air conditioner body 1 includes an air outlet frame 13, a front frame 14, and a front panel 15. The front frame 14 is located in front of the air outlet frame 13 to form two air outlet sections 111 between the front frame 14 and the air outlet frame 13. A diverter 12 is installed in the middle of the front frame 14 and diverts the air at the intersection of the inlets of the two air outlet sections 111. The front panel 15 is located in front of the front frame 14. The drive assembly 23 is located outside the air outlet section 111 and between the front frame 14 and the front panel 15. The pull rod 22 is located inside the air outlet section 111 and on the side of the guide vane 21 near the front frame 14.
[0105] The front panel 15 is positioned further away from the air outlet section 111 than the front frame 14. A first air duct 11 is formed between the front frame 14 and the air outlet frame 13. The front panel 15 does not participate in forming the first air duct 11. Therefore, the drive component 23, which is located between the front frame 14 and the front panel 15, is located outside the air outlet section 111. This arrangement can improve the obstruction of the airflow by the drive component 23, thereby enhancing the flow effect of the airflow within the air outlet section 111.
[0106] The pull rod 22 is located on the side of the guide vane 21 near the front frame 14. The drive assembly 23, which is located between the front frame 14 and the front panel 15, can be directly connected to the pull rod 22 without having to pass through the guide vane 21 to connect to the pull rod 22. This avoids interference with the movement of the guide vane 21 and improves the working reliability of the guide vane 21.
[0107] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 20 As shown, the end of the blade portion 211 that is away from the mounting portion 213 is the air outlet end 211a. The air outlet end 211a is located diagonally in front of the mounting portion 213. The blade portion includes a convex shaft 215, which is located on the front side of the blade portion. The pull rod 22 is connected to the convex shaft 215 to drive the deformation or movement of multiple blade portions 211 within the same air outlet section 111.
[0108] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 20 As shown, the length direction of the thinning region 2111 is parallel to the axial direction of the convex shaft 215, and the straight line Y along the length direction of the thinning region is set parallel to the axis X of the convex shaft.
[0109] When the connecting rod drives the blade section 211 to deform, a portion of the blade section 211 rotates along the length direction of the connecting rod with the thinning region 2111 as its axis of rotation, thus deforming. Since the length direction of the thinning region 2111 is parallel to the axial direction of the cam shaft 215, the deformation of the blade section 211 is such that the two ends of the thinning region 2111 have the same height along the length direction of the connecting rod; that is, the height of the same thinning region 2111 at the leading edge 211c is the same as the height of the thinning region 2111 at the trailing edge 211d. The airflow flows directly along the length direction of the blade section 211, and is guided to the outlet end 211a, meaning it does not deviate towards the leading edge 211c or the trailing edge 211d.
[0110] In other embodiments of the invention, such as Figure 23 As shown, the length direction of the thinning region 2111 intersects the axial direction of the convex shaft 215, the straight line Y containing the length direction of the thinning region intersects the axis X of the convex shaft parallel to it, and the length direction of the thinning region 2111 is inclined relative to the axial direction of the convex shaft 215 in the direction from the rear edge 211d and the front edge 211c along the direction from the air outlet 211a to the mounting part 213.
[0111] When the connecting rod drives the blade section 211 to deform, a portion of the blade section 211 rotates along the length direction of the thinning region 2111 as its axis of rotation, deforming along the length direction of the connecting rod. The length direction of the thinning region 2111, relative to the axial direction of the cam shaft 215, is inclined along the direction from the rear edge 211d and the front edge 211c from the outlet end 211a to the mounting portion 212. Therefore, the deformation of the blade section 211 is such that the blade section 211 deflects forward, and the height of the thinning region 2111 at the front edge 211c is lower than the height of the thinning region 2111 extending along the axial direction of the cam shaft 21130 to the rear edge 211d. Following the airflow direction guided by the blade section 211, the airflow is directed to the outlet end 211a, while simultaneously flowing towards the front edge 211c.
[0112] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 23 As shown, the angle α between the length direction of the thinning region and the axial direction of the convex shaft is 15° to 60°.
[0113] In some embodiments of the present invention, the drive assembly 23 includes a motor, a gear, and a rack. The motor is connected to the gear, the gear meshes with the rack, the rack extends along the length of the connecting rod and engages with the drive assembly through a transmission part that passes through the front frame 14, and the motor drives the rack to move the connecting rod through the gear.
[0114] The gear and rack have a simple structure and strong reliability, which can improve the working stability of the drive component 23; and the arrangement of the gear and rack occupies little space, which is beneficial to the arrangement of the drive component 23.
[0115] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 24 and Figure 25 As shown, the air conditioner body 1 includes a front panel 15, with side air outlets 1a on the left and right sides of the front panel 15 respectively. The air conditioner body 1 has a cross-flow air duct 16 inside, with the cross-flow air duct 16 extending vertically along its axis. The inlet of the first air duct 11 is connected to the outlet of the cross-flow air duct 16. The first air duct 11 has two air outlet sections 111, which extend to the left and right sides respectively to connect with the side air outlets 1a on both sides respectively.
[0116] like Figure 1 and Figure 24 As shown, the air guide vane 21 includes two blade sections 211, which are respectively fitted into two air outlet sections 111. The airflow directions of the two blade sections 211 are opposite to each other. The two blade sections 211 respectively send the airflow to two side air outlets 1a. The two side air outlets 1a are located on the left and right sides of the front panel 15, thereby increasing the air supply range of the air conditioner 100 in the horizontal direction and improving the air supply effect.
[0117] like Figure 22 As shown, the air conditioner 100 includes a fan assembly, which includes a cross-flow fan, such as... Figure 24 As shown, a cross-flow fan is arranged within the cross-flow duct 16, providing airflow. The first duct 11 is located downstream of the cross-flow duct 16. Due to the air outlet shape of the cross-flow fan, the cross-flow duct 16 has a volute, and the air outlet direction of the cross-flow duct 16 is biased towards one of the two side air outlets 1a. By setting the flow divider 12, the airflow to the two air outlet sections 111 can be made relatively uniform, so that the air volume delivered to the two side air outlets 1a is balanced, improving the air delivery effect of the air conditioner 100.
[0118] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 26 As shown, the air conditioner body 1 also includes an upper air outlet 1b that is higher than the front panel 15 and a lower air outlet 1c that is lower than the front panel 15. The air conditioner body 1 also has a second air duct and a third air duct that are connected to the first air duct 11. The second air duct is located above the first air duct 11 and is connected to the upper air outlet 1b, and the third air duct is located below the first air duct 11 and is connected to the lower air outlet 1c.
[0119] The upper air outlet 1b is set higher than the front panel 15, and the lower air outlet 1c is set lower than the front panel 15, which can increase the air supply range of the air conditioner 100 in the vertical direction and improve the air supply effect.
[0120] Airflow is delivered from the side air outlet 1a via the first air duct 11, from the upper air outlet 1b via the second air duct, and from the lower air outlet 1c via the third air duct. The third air duct is connected to both the first and second air ducts. Therefore, optionally, the air supply of the air conditioner 100 can be directed to one or both of the third, first, and second air ducts, and then flow to the corresponding air outlets through the connections of the ducts. For example, the air conditioner 100 can supply air solely to the first air duct 11, which is connected to both the second and third air ducts. Airflow flows from the first air duct 11 to the second air duct (i.e., from the upper air outlet 1b), from the first air duct 11 to the third air duct (i.e., from the lower air outlet 1c), and from the third air duct directly to the side air outlet 1a (i.e., from the side air outlet 1a). Alternatively, the air conditioner 100 can supply air to the first air duct 11, the second air duct and the third air duct. The side air outlet 1a, the upper air outlet 1b and the lower air outlet 1c can supply air independently or together.
[0121] In some embodiments of the present invention, both the upper air outlet 1b and the lower air outlet 1c can be selectively opened and closed. On the one hand, they can be adjusted to match the air outlet mode of the air conditioner 100 to improve the air supply effect of the air conditioner 100; on the other hand, they can block external pollutants outside the air conditioner 100 to improve the cleanliness of the air conditioner 100.
[0122] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 24 As shown, the air conditioner body 1 also includes a rear box 17, a chassis 18 and a top cover assembly 19. The rear box 17 is located at the rear of the air conditioner 100, the top cover is located at the top of the air conditioner 100, and the chassis 18 is located at the bottom of the air conditioner 100.
[0123] In some embodiments of the present invention, the top cover assembly 19 has an opening, the top cover assembly 19 includes a top cover body and an upper air outlet frame, the upper air outlet frame defines an upper air outlet 1b, and the upper air outlet frame is rotatably disposed at the opening of the top cover assembly 19.
[0124] The upper air outlet frame is rotatable between a first angle and a second angle. At the first angle, the upper air outlet frame extends upward from the opening to expose and open the upper air outlet 1b. At the second angle, the upper air outlet frame falls back and fills the opening to hide the upper air outlet 1b inside the housing.
[0125] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 22 As shown, the air conditioner 100 also includes a heat exchanger assembly 3.
[0126] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 22 and Figure 24 As shown, the air conditioner 100 also includes an air guide plate 5, which is located at the side air outlet 1a for guiding air left and right, or for guiding air left and right and switching the side air outlet 1a.
[0127] Optionally, the air guide plate 5 can be used only for left and right air guidance. The left and right air guidance of the air guide plate 5 can increase the air supply range of the air conditioner 100 in the horizontal direction and further improve the air supply effect of the air conditioner 100.
[0128] Alternatively, the air guide plate 5 can be used not only for left and right air guidance, but also for opening and closing the side air outlet 1a. When the air guide plate 5 opens the side air outlet 1a, the airflow is sent out through the side air outlet 1a and flows under the guidance of the air guide plate 5; when the air guide plate 5 closes the side air outlet 1a, it prevents the airflow from flowing out through the side air outlet 1a, and the air guide plate 5 can prevent dust and other pollutants from entering the air conditioner body 1 through the side air outlet 1a, thereby improving the cleanliness of the air conditioner 100.
