[0065] 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.

[0066] 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.

[0067] The air conditioner 100 of the present invention is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0068] 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 detachably engaged with the air conditioner body 10 through a quick-release unit 30. The quick-release unit 30 includes a rotating shaft 31 and a quick-release assembly 32 for detachment and engagement.

[0069] 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.

[0070] In this embodiment of the air conditioner 100, the air guide plate 20 is detached and assembled with the air conditioner body 10 via a quick-release unit 30. This reduces the operational difficulty of detaching and assembling the air guide plate 20 and the air conditioner body 10, improves the efficiency of detachment and assembly, facilitates user cleaning and maintenance of the air guide plate 20, and enhances the operational reliability of the air guide plate 20. Optionally, one end of the rotation axis of the air guide plate 20 is detached and assembled with the air conditioner body 10 via the quick-release unit 30; alternatively, 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.

[0071] One of the quick-release assembly 32 and the rotating shaft 31 is disposed on the air guide plate 20, and the other of the quick-release assembly 32 and the rotating shaft 31 is disposed on the air conditioner body 10. The quick-release assembly 32 and the 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 rotating shaft 31 and the air guide plate 20 and the air conditioner body 10 can be selected according to actual needs.

[0072] The structure of the quick-release assembly 32 allows for quick assembly and disassembly of the quick-release assembly 32 and the rotating shaft 31, such as... Figures 3-5 As shown, the quick-release assembly 32 includes: a mating shaft 4 and a sliding sleeve 5. The mating shaft 4 has a mating cavity 41, which extends through the shaft end face of the mating shaft 4 to form an end opening 411, and extends through the outer peripheral surface of the mating shaft 4 to form a side opening 412, as shown. Figure 6 As shown, the rotating shaft 31 is adapted to enter and exit the mating cavity 41 through the side opening 412, and the end opening 411 is used to avoid the rotating shaft 31.

[0073] like Figure 6 As shown, the axial direction of the rotating shaft 31 is consistent with the axial direction of the mating shaft 4. The mating cavity 41 penetrates the shaft end face and the outer peripheral surface of the mating shaft 4. The 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 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 rotating shaft 31 and the mating shaft 4.

[0074] One end of the rotating shaft 31 is connected to the air guide plate 20 or to the air conditioner body 10, and the other end of the rotating shaft 31 can enter and exit the mating cavity 41 through the side opening 412, while the end opening 411 can avoid the movement of the rotating shaft 31.

[0075] In related technologies, the connection method in which the rotating shaft and the mating shaft are matched in the axial direction requires the air guide plate to move relative to the air conditioner body along the length of the air outlet. The space in the length of the air outlet is limited, the space for disassembling and assembling the air guide plate is limited, 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.

[0076] In this embodiment of the invention, the air guide plate 20 rotates relative to the air outlet 11 about the axis of the rotating shaft 31. The length direction of the air guide plate 20 is consistent with the axial direction of the rotating shaft 31. In this embodiment, the rotating shaft 31 is inserted into the side opening 412 in a direction perpendicular to or substantially perpendicular to the axis of the rotating shaft 31. That is, the air guide plate 20 moves directly relative to the air conditioner body 10 along the inward and outward directions of the air outlet 11, thus completing the assembly and disassembly of the air guide plate 20 and the air conditioner body 10. The space in the air outlet 11 is the external space of the air conditioner body 10, providing a large space for the assembly and disassembly of the air guide plate 20. This reduces the difficulty of assembling and disassembling the air guide plate 20 and the air conditioner body 10, improves the efficiency of assembly and disassembly, and facilitates user cleaning and maintenance of the air guide plate 20.

[0077] It is worth noting that the air guide plate 20 is relatively long. One end of the air guide plate 20 on its 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 rotation axis cannot move in a radial straight line, but must move along an axis generally perpendicular to the rotation axis 31 for disassembly, 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 rotation axis 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 rotation axis 31, and the movement trajectory is a straight line.

[0078] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the sliding component 5 is fitted outside the mating shaft 4 and can move between the locked position of the obstructed side opening 412 and the unlocked position of the open side opening 412.

[0079] When the sliding assembly 5 is in the locked position, it covers the side opening 412 of the mating shaft 4, thus limiting the rotating shaft 31 within the mating cavity 41 and improving the connection stability between the rotating shaft 31 and the mating shaft 4. When the sliding assembly 5 is in the unlocked position, it opens the side opening 412, allowing the rotating shaft 31 to directly enter and exit the mating cavity 41 through the side opening 412, enabling the disassembly and assembly of the air guide plate 20 and the air conditioner body 10.

[0080] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the air conditioner 100, by providing a quick-release assembly 32, forms a side opening 412 on the outer peripheral surface of the mating cavity 41 that mates with the rotating shaft 31. The rotating shaft 31 can then be directly inserted into or removed from the mating cavity 41 along a direction perpendicular to or substantially perpendicular to its axis, thus achieving the connection and separation of the rotating shaft 31 and the mating shaft 4. The air guide plate 20, whose length direction is aligned with the axial direction of the rotating shaft 31, can move directly relative to the air conditioner body 10 along the inward and outward directions of the air outlet 11, thereby completing the assembly and disassembly of the air guide plate 20 and the air conditioner body 10. The large space available for the assembly and disassembly of the air guide plate 20 reduces the difficulty of assembling and disassembling the air guide plate 20 and the air conditioner body 10, improves the efficiency of assembly and disassembly, facilitates user cleaning and maintenance of the air guide plate 20, and enhances the operational reliability of the air guide plate 20.

[0081] The following is for reference. Figure 6 and Figure 8 Briefly describe the process of assembling and disassembling the rotating shaft 31 and the quick-release assembly 32.

[0082] Firstly, as Figure 6 With the sliding component 5 in the unlocked position, the side opening 412 is opened, and then... Figure 7 As shown, the rotating shaft 31 is directly inserted into the mating cavity 41 along a direction perpendicular to or substantially perpendicular to the axis of the rotating shaft 31, and finally... Figure 8 As shown, by moving the sliding assembly 5 to the locked position, the assembly of the rotating shaft 31 and the quick-release assembly 32 can be completed.

[0083] The disassembly and assembly processes of the rotating shaft 31 and the quick-release assembly 32 are reversed. First, as... Figures 8 to 7 As shown, move the sliding component 5 from the locked position to the unlocked position to open the side opening 412, and then proceed as follows: Figure 6 As shown, the rotating shaft 31 is moved along a direction perpendicular to or substantially perpendicular to the axis of the rotating shaft 31, and the rotating shaft 31 is removed from the mating cavity 41, thus completing the separation of the rotating shaft 31 and the quick-release assembly 32.

[0084] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 9 As shown, the mating cavity 41 is constructed in an open form facing the side opening 412, so as to guide the rotating shaft 31 into the mating cavity 41 from the side opening 412.

[0085] like Figure 9 As shown, the dashed line n is the straight line in the radial direction of the mating shaft 4 toward the side opening 412, and the dashed line m is the straight line in the direction of the side wall extension of the mating cavity 41. The dashed lines n and m intersect, and the dashed line n is deflected outward relative to the dashed line m.

[0086] By constructing the mating cavity 41 as an open form facing the side opening 412, the cross-sectional area of ​​the mating cavity 41 gradually increases in the direction facing the side opening 412, which can guide the assembly of the mating shaft 4 and improve the assembly efficiency of the rotating shaft 31 and the mating shaft 4.

[0087] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 8 As shown, the rotation axis of the air guide plate 20 extends in the vertical direction, the upper end of the air guide plate 20 is provided with a rotating shaft 31, and the upper end of the air guide plate 20 is correspondingly provided with a quick-release assembly 32.

[0088] A rotating shaft 31 is mounted on the air guide plate 20, while a quick-release assembly 32 is mounted on the air conditioner body 10. The rotating shaft 31 of the air guide plate 20 extends vertically. By mounting the rotating shaft 31 at the upper end of the air guide plate 20 and cooperating with the quick-release assembly 32, compared to a design where the rotating shaft is mounted at the lower end of the air guide plate, it is not necessary to lift the air guide plate 20 for disassembly and assembly. In this embodiment of the invention, the gravity of the air guide plate 20 has a smaller impact on disassembly and assembly, further reducing the difficulty of disassembly and assembly. Furthermore, with the quick-release assembly 32 mounted at the upper end of the air guide plate 20, the user can operate while standing upright, unlike a design where the rotating shaft is mounted at the lower end of the air guide plate, which eliminates the need to squat down, making it easier for the user to clean and maintain the air guide plate 20.

[0089] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 6 As shown, the upper end of the rotating shaft 31 at the upper end of the air guide plate 20 is connected to the air guide plate 20 and the lower end extends downward. The mating cavity 41 penetrates the upper end face of the mating shaft 4. The end opening 411 on the upper end face of the mating shaft 4 can avoid the movement of the rotating shaft 31.

[0090] like Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the locked position is higher than the unlocked position. The sliding component 5 is sleeved over the mating shaft 4. The mating shaft 4 has a relatively long axial length, forming a side opening 412 on the upper outer circumferential surface of the mating shaft 4. When the sliding component 5 moves upward along the axial direction of the mating shaft 4 to the locked position, it covers the side opening 412. When the sliding component 5 moves downward along the axial direction of the mating shaft 4 to the unlocked position, it opens the side opening 412. The sliding component 5 can switch positions by moving up and down. The control of the sliding component 5 is relatively simple, which can reduce the difficulty of disassembling and assembling the rotating shaft 31 and the quick-release assembly 32.

[0091] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 10 As shown, the end of the mating cavity 41 furthest from the end opening 411 is the inner end 41a, and the mating cavity 41 is formed in a constricted shape from the inner end 41a to the end opening 411, as shown. Figure 11 As shown, the cross-section of the rotating shaft 31 is matched with that of the mating cavity 41 to limit the rotation of the rotating shaft 31 relative to the mating cavity 41 in the direction from the inner end 41a of the cavity to the end opening 411.

[0092] like Figure 8 As shown, when the sliding component 5 is in the locked position, it is wrapped around the outside of the mating shaft 4 and the outside of the rotating shaft 31. The quick-release assembly 32 limits the rotation shaft 31 in multiple directions. By setting the mating cavity 41 to a narrowed shape from the inner end 41a to the end opening 411, the mating shaft 4 can limit the upward movement of the rotating shaft 31, restricting its upward movement and further improving the mating stability of the rotating shaft 31 and the quick-release assembly 32, thus improving the reliability of the rotational movement of the air guide plate 20.

[0093] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 10 As shown, the mating shaft 4 has a first limiting part 42, and the sliding part 5 has a second limiting part 51. When the sliding part 5 is in the locked position, the second limiting part 51 and the first limiting part 42 limit each other to prevent the sliding part 5 from moving along the axial direction of the mating shaft 4.

[0094] like Figure 10 As shown, the sliding component 5 moves axially to switch between the locked and unlocked positions. By setting the first limiting part 42 and the second limiting part 51, the sliding component 5 can be stably restricted to the locked position, thereby improving the connection stability between the rotating shaft 31 and the mating shaft 4 and improving the working reliability of the air guide plate 20.

[0095] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 3 and Figure 10 As shown, the first limiting part 42 is a groove 421 provided on the outer peripheral surface of the mating shaft 4, and the second limiting part 51 is located at the shaft end of the sliding part 5 and is a buckle 511 that mates with the groove 421.

[0096] When the latch 511 and the slot 421 are engaged, the sliding component 5 is limited to the locked position. Releasing the engagement of the latch 511 and the slot 421 allows the sliding component 5 to move axially along the mating shaft 4. The sliding component 5 and the mating shaft 4 are engaged through the latch 511 and the slot 421. When the sliding component 5 moves to the locked position, the engagement is automatically completed, facilitating the fixed connection of the rotating shaft 31 and the mating shaft 4. Releasing the engagement of the latch 511 and the slot 421 is also relatively simple, simplifying the disassembly and assembly of the air guide plate 20 and the air conditioner body 10.

[0097] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 3 and Figure 10 As shown, the outer circumferential surface of the mating shaft 4 is provided with a first annular rib 43 and a second annular rib 44 surrounding 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 421 between the first annular rib 43 and the second annular rib 44.

[0098] like Figure 3 As shown, the second annular rib 44 is positioned closer to the shaft end face where the first annular rib 43 is located than the end face of the shaft with the opening 411. Both the first and second annular ribs 43 and 44 protrude from the outer circumferential surface of the mating shaft 4, forming a groove 421 between them. The first and second annular ribs 43 and 44 are arranged parallel and spaced apart to ensure that the groove 421 has the same width. Compared to providing an inwardly recessed groove on the outer circumferential surface of the mating shaft, providing protruding first and second annular ribs 43 and 44 on the outer circumferential surface of the mating shaft 4 improves the limiting of the latch 511 and enhances the stability of the sliding component 5 when it is in the locked position.

[0099] The second annular rib 44 has a larger slope on the wall of the groove 421, which can prevent the sliding component 5 from continuing to move towards the shaft end face where the end opening 411 is located, thereby improving the stability of the sliding component 5 when it is in the locked position.

[0100] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 12 As shown, the sliding assembly 5 includes an end ring portion 52 and an elastic arm 531 arranged sequentially along the axial direction. There are multiple elastic arms 531, which are spaced apart circumferentially along the end ring portion 52. A buckle 511 is provided at the end of the elastic arm 531 away from the end ring portion 52.

[0101] The elastic arm 531 can undergo elastic deformation. When the elastic arm 531 is in the deformed state, the buckle 511 is in clearance fit with the outer peripheral surface of the mating shaft 4, so that the sliding kit 5 can move along the axial direction of the mating shaft 4. The smooth movement of the sliding kit 5 can reduce the wear of the buckle 511 and extend the working life of the sliding kit 5.

[0102] When the sliding assembly 5 moves to the locking position, the elastic arm 531 deforms outward, and the buckle 511 can pass over the first annular rib 43 and enter the slot 421. After that, the elastic arm 531 returns to its original shape, and the buckle 511 engages with the slot 421. When the sliding assembly 5 moves to the unlocking position, the elastic arm 531 deforms, and the buckle 511 passes over the first annular rib 43 and disengages from the slot 421. The elastic arm 531 returns to its original shape, and the sliding assembly 5 can move along the axial direction of the mating shaft 4.

[0103] By providing a deformable elastic arm 531, as the sliding assembly 5 moves axially along the mating shaft 4, the elastic arm 531 is driven to deform by the first annular rib 43, smoothly entering the slot 421, making the assembly of the sliding assembly 5 easier. It also facilitates the release of the latch 511 from the slot 421, allowing the sliding assembly 5 to release its restriction on the rotating shaft 31 and the mating shaft 4.

[0104] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 13 As shown, the wall surface of the shaft end face where the far end opening 411 of the first annular rib 43 is located is the first guide surface 431, which extends outward at an angle from the first annular rib 43 to the second annular rib 44; the wall surface of the shaft end face where the near end opening 411 of the first annular rib 43 is located is the second guide surface 432, which extends outward at an angle from the first annular rib 43 to the second annular rib 44.

[0105] The slope of the first guide surface 431 is less than the slope of the second guide surface 432, such as Figure 13 As shown, the angle α between the line containing the first guide surface 431 and the axis is smaller than the angle β between the line containing the second guide surface 432 and the axis.

[0106] The first annular rib 43 can serve as a guide. When the sliding assembly 5 moves from the unlocked position to the locked position, the elastic arm 531 deforms along the wall of the first annular rib 43, making it easier for the buckle 511 to pass through the first annular rib 43 and enter the slot 421. This makes the assembly of the sliding assembly 5 easier. In addition, the first annular rib 43 can also serve as a limit, making it less likely for the sliding assembly 5 to come out of the slot 421, which can improve the stability of the sliding assembly 5 when it is in the locked position.

[0107] In some embodiments of the present invention, the angle α between the straight line containing the first guide surface 431 and the axis is less than 45°.

[0108] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 13 As shown, in the axial direction of the mating shaft 4, the slot opening size h1 of the slot 421 is larger than the root size h2 of the buckle 511.

[0109] When the buckle 511 is engaged in the slot 421, there is a certain gap between the buckle 511 and the inner wall of the slot 421 in the axial direction of the mating shaft 4. This can provide the buckle 511 with a displacement along the axial direction of the mating shaft 4, improve the situation where the sliding kit 5 is dislodged from the slot 421 when it is impacted, and enhance the stability of the sliding kit 5 when it is in the locked position.

[0110] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 3 and Figure 10As 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 5 is in the locked position, the third annular rib 45 is in clearance fit or abutment fit with the inner rear surface of the sliding part 5.

[0111] By setting the third annular rib 45 to have a clearance fit or abutment fit with the sliding component 5, the stability of the sliding component 5 when it is in the locked position can be improved, the shaking of the sliding component 5 can be reduced, and the connection reliability of the rotating shaft 31 and the mating shaft 4 can be improved.

[0112] In some embodiments of the present invention, the mating shaft 4 has a first limiting portion 42 located outside the edge of the shaft end face where the side opening 412 is located at the far end opening 411, and the sliding sleeve 5 has a second limiting portion 51. When the sliding sleeve 5 is in the locked position, the second limiting portion 51 and the first limiting portion 42 engage in a limiting engagement. The sliding sleeve 5 engages with the mating shaft 4 at the shaft end face where the side opening 412 is located at the far end opening 411, and abuts against the third annular rib 45 at the shaft end face where the sliding sleeve 5 is located at the near end opening 411. The sliding sleeve 5 stably blocks the side opening 412, reduces the shaking of the sliding sleeve 5, and improves the connection reliability of the rotating shaft 31 and the mating shaft 4.

[0113] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 15 and Figure 16 As shown, the mating shaft 4 and the sliding kit 5 are guided by a guide structure. The guide structure is used to guide the sliding kit 5 to slide relative to the mating shaft 4 without rotation along the axial direction of the mating shaft 4.

[0114] By setting a guide structure, the stability of the sliding component 5 in the movement between the locked and unlocked positions can be improved, and the sliding component 5 can be guided to move smoothly between the locked and unlocked positions, which is beneficial to improving the assembly and disassembly efficiency of the rotating shaft 31 and the mating shaft 4.

[0115] The sliding component 5 can also be limited by the cooperation of the guide structure between the mating shaft 4 and the sliding component 5. The sliding component 5 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 5 relative to the mating shaft 4 by the guide mechanism can restrict the rotation of the sliding component 5, improve the situation where the sliding component 5 fails to open or block the side opening 412 due to misalignment of the sliding component 5, and improve the working stability of the sliding component 5.

[0116] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 15 and Figure 16 As shown, the guiding structure includes a guide rib 54 and a guide groove 46 for guiding and fitting, as... Figure 3 and Figure 14 As shown, 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, as... Figure 12 As shown, the guide rib 54 protrudes from the inner circumferential surface of the sliding assembly 5.

[0117] The guide rib 54 is movably disposed in the guide groove 46. Through the guiding engagement of the guide rib 54 and the guide groove 46, the sliding kit 5 can be guided to move axially along the mating shaft 4. The groove wall of the guide groove 46 limits the guide rib 54, thereby restricting the sliding kit 5 from sliding axially relative to the mating shaft 4 without rotation.

[0118] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 3 and Figure 14 As shown, at least two axial ribs 49 protruding from the outer peripheral surface and extending axially are formed on the outer peripheral surface of the mating shaft 4. The two axial ribs 49 are spaced apart circumferentially along the mating shaft 4, and a guide groove 46 is formed between the two axial ribs 49.

[0119] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 3 and Figure 14 As shown, there are two guide grooves 46 located on both sides of the diameter of the mating shaft 4, as follows. Figure 12 and Figure 17 As shown, the number of guide ribs 54 is the same as the number of guide grooves 46 and they are set in a one-to-one correspondence.

[0120] There are two guide grooves 46 located on both sides of the radial direction of the mating shaft 4. There are also two guide ribs 54, each corresponding to one of the guide grooves 46. The cooperation between the two guide ribs 54 and the two guide grooves 46 ensures that the sliding component 5 is subjected to uniform force, improving the guiding effect and enhancing the reliability of the sliding component 5's axial movement along the mating shaft 4. The two guide grooves 46, positioned on both sides of the diameter of the mating shaft 4, also serve to limit the movement of the sliding component 5, reducing its wobble relative to the mating shaft 4.

[0121] Furthermore, the two guide grooves 46 are placed on both sides of the diameter direction of the mating shaft 4. The cooperation between the guide rib 54 and the guide groove 46 is non-directional, which can play a role in preventing mistakes and making it easier to assemble the sliding part 5 onto the mating shaft 4, thereby improving assembly efficiency.

[0122] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 3 and Figure 14 As shown, one of the guide grooves 46 has the same opening orientation as the side opening 412, and is arranged with the side opening 412 along the axial direction of the mating shaft 4.

[0123] The guide groove 46 can be one or more. One of the openings is set to face the same direction as the side opening 412, which makes it easier to align the sliding part 5 and the mating shaft 4 for assembly, and makes it easier to assemble the sliding part 5 onto the mating shaft 4, thus improving assembly efficiency.

[0124] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 12 and Figure 17As shown, at least one guide rib 54 extends along the axial direction of the slide assembly 5, and the end of the guide rib 54 extends beyond the shaft end of the slide assembly 5 or is flush with the shaft end of the slide assembly 5.

[0125] The number of guide ribs 54 can be one or more. Setting at least one guide rib 54 with its end extending beyond or flush with the shaft end of the sliding assembly 5 helps to increase the strength of the sliding assembly 5, increase guiding stability, and facilitates the insertion of the guide rib 54 into the guide groove 46, making it easier to assemble the sliding assembly 5 onto the mating shaft 4 and improving assembly efficiency.

[0126] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 12 and Figure 17 As shown, the sliding assembly 5 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 511 is provided at the end of the elastic arm 531 away from the end ring portion 52. Figure 10 As shown, a groove 421 is formed on the outer circumferential surface of the mating shaft 4. When the sliding component 5 is in the locked position, the buckle 511 is engaged in the groove 421 to prevent the sliding component 5 from moving axially along the mating shaft 4.

[0127] 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 kit 5 to slide rotatably along the axial direction of the mating shaft 4; the snap 511 of the elastic arm 531 is engaged with the snap groove 421 on the mating shaft 4, which can stably restrict the sliding kit 5 to the locked position.

[0128] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 3 and Figure 14 As shown, the outer circumferential surface of the mating shaft 4 is provided with a first annular rib 43 and a second annular rib 44 surrounding 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 421 between the first annular rib 43 and the second annular rib 44. Figure 14 As shown, at least two axial ribs 49 extending along the axial direction of the mating shaft 4 are provided on the outer peripheral surface of the mating shaft 4. The two axial ribs 49 are spaced apart along the circumferential direction of the mating shaft 4, and a guide groove 46 is formed between the two axial ribs 49.

[0129] A groove 421 is formed between the first annular rib 43 and the second annular rib 44. The groove 421 does not need to be set along the entire circumference of the mating shaft 4. The groove 421 only needs to have a certain length to meet the snap-fit ​​with the buckle 511. Therefore, the first annular rib 43 and the second annular rib 44 are connected to the side of the axial rib 49 away from the guide groove 46, which avoids the guide groove 46 formed between the two corresponding axial ribs 49, ensuring that the guide rib 54 can move stably along the guide groove 46 and improving the motion reliability of the sliding kit 5.

[0130] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 12 and Figure 17 As shown, there are multiple elastic arms 531 and guide walls 532, and the elastic arms 531 and guide walls 532 are alternately arranged in the circumferential direction.

[0131] By setting multiple elastic arms 531, the engagement stability of the buckle 511 and the slot 421 can be improved, the force on the sliding kit 5 can be uniform, and the stability can be limited to the locked position; and by setting multiple guide walls 532, the guiding effect can be improved, and the reliability of the sliding kit 5 moving along the axial direction of the mating shaft 4 can be improved.

[0132] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 12 As shown, there are two elastic arms 531 and two guide walls 532, which are alternately arranged circumferentially. The guide ribs 54 on the two guide walls 532 are located on both sides of the diameter of the sliding assembly 5. Correspondingly, there are also two guide grooves 46 located on both sides of the diameter of the mating shaft 4, which can make the sliding assembly 5 bear force evenly and improve the guiding effect.

[0133] In some embodiments of the present invention, the sliding assembly 5 is a one-piece molded part, which has strong structural stability and can improve the working reliability of the sliding assembly 5. The elastic arm 531 and the guide wall 532 are made of the same material, but the thickness of the elastic arm 531 is thinner than that of the guide wall 532, which is conducive to the elastic deformation of the elastic arm 531; the guide ribs 54 provided on the inner surface of the guide wall 532 can also strengthen the structural strength of the guide wall 532, reduce the deformation of the guide wall 532, and improve the fit reliability of the guide structure.

[0134] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 2 As shown, the rotating shaft 31 is located on the air guide plate 20, the quick-release assembly 32 is located on the air conditioner body 10, and the mating cavity 41 is in a transmission fit with the rotating shaft 31. After the rotating shaft 31 and the mating shaft 4 are inserted and fitted, the rotation of one of the rotating shaft 31 and the mating shaft 4 can drive the other of the rotating shaft 31 and the mating shaft 4 to rotate synchronously, thereby realizing the rotational fit between the air guide plate 20 and the air conditioner body 10.

[0135] like Figure 18 As shown, the quick-release assembly 32 includes a first motor 6, the output shaft 61 of which is connected to a mating shaft 4 to drive the air guide plate 20 to rotate via the mating shaft 4.

[0136] The first motor 6 drives the mating shaft 4 to rotate, and the 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.

[0137] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 10 As shown, the mating shaft 4 has a mating hole 47, and the mating cavity 41 and the mating hole 47 are spaced apart along the axial direction of the mating shaft 4. Figure 14 As shown, the mating hole 47 penetrates one end face of the mating shaft 4 away from the end opening 411, so that the output shaft 61 of the first motor is axially inserted into the mating hole 47.

[0138] The output shaft 61 of the first motor is inserted into the mating hole 47. The output shaft 61 of the first motor and the mating shaft 4 are mated without rotation. The rotation of the first motor 6 can drive the mating shaft 4 to rotate. By setting the mating cavity 41 and the mating hole 47 at intervals along the axial direction of the mating shaft 4, the output shaft 61 of the first motor inserted into the mating hole 47 and the rotating shaft 31 in the mating cavity 41 do not interfere with each other, thereby improving the working stability of the first motor 6 and the rotating shaft 31.

[0139] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 18 and Figure 19 As shown, the quick-release assembly 32 also includes: a mounting base 7, which includes a partition 71, as shown... Figure 20 As shown, the partition 71 has a first side 7a and a second side 7b on both sides of the mating shaft 4 in the axial direction. The partition 71 has a through hole 711. The first motor 6 is mounted on the mounting base 7 and is located on the first side 7a. At least a portion of the mating shaft 4 is located on the second side 7b so that the side opening 412 is located on the second side 7b. The end of the mating shaft 4 away from the partition 71 forms an end opening 411. The sliding sleeve 5 is located on the second side 7b and is adapted to move from the locked position to the unlocked position by moving in the direction toward the partition 71.

[0140] Mounting bracket 7 serves as a support and installation point. Quick-release component 32 is mounted on air conditioner body 10 via mounting bracket 7. Shaft 4, sliding component 5 and first motor 6 are also mounted on mounting bracket 7.

[0141] When assembling or separating the rotating shaft 31 and the quick-release assembly 32, the user needs to manually drive the sliding assembly 5 to move. Therefore, by setting a partition 71 on the mounting base 7, the first motor 6 and the sliding assembly 5 can be separated to prevent the user from touching the first motor 6 and improve the safety of the user's operation.

[0142] The partition 71 also limits the movement of the sliding assembly 5. The sliding assembly 5 moves axially along the mating shaft 4 to switch between a locked position and an unlocked position. The sliding assembly 5 moves toward the partition 71 from the locked position to the unlocked position. When the sliding assembly 5 is in the unlocked position, the partition 71 supports the sliding assembly 5 and limits its movement, thus facilitating the user to move the sliding assembly 5 from the unlocked position back to the locked position.

[0143] The partition 71 has a through hole 711, through which the output shaft 61 of the first motor or the mating shaft 4 can pass, so that the second motor 83 can be driven and mated with the mating shaft 4.

[0144] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 14 As shown, one end of the mating shaft 4, away from the opening 411, is provided with an annular platform 48 surrounding the mating shaft 4, as... Figure 20 As shown, the mating shaft 4 is rotatably inserted through the through hole 711. The mating shaft 4 is adapted to pass through the through hole 711 in a direction from the first side 7a to the second side 7b, and the annular platform 48 stops on the first side 7a of the partition plate 71.

[0145] The output shaft 61 of the first motor is axially inserted into the mating shaft 4. The first motor 6 limits the mating shaft 4 in the direction from the second side 7b to the first side 7a. By setting an annular platform 48, which is stopped by a partition 71 on the first side 7a, the partition 71 limits the mating shaft 4 in the direction from the first side 7a to the second side 7b. The mating shaft 4 is stably assembled on the mounting base 7 in the axial direction, which can improve the working stability of the mating shaft 4.

[0146] The cross-sectional area of ​​the mating shaft 4 at the through hole 711 is smaller than the opening area of ​​the through hole 711. The mating shaft 4 and the through hole 711 are in clearance fit, which can reduce the friction and collision between the mating shaft 4 and the partition plate 71 and improve the rotational stability of the mating shaft 4.

[0147] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 10 As shown, the outer peripheral surface of the mating shaft 4 has a groove 421, and the sliding sleeve 5 has a buckle 511 that mates with the groove 421. When the sliding sleeve 5 is in the locked position, the buckle 511 engages with the groove 421, limiting the sliding sleeve 5 to the locked position. The outer peripheral surface of the mating shaft 4 is provided with a first annular rib 43 and a second annular rib 44 surrounding 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 421 between the first annular rib 43 and the second annular rib 44.

[0148] The mating shaft 4 includes a first shaft segment and a second shaft segment connected axially. A first annular rib 43 is provided at the junction of the first shaft segment and the second shaft segment. A groove 421 is formed in the first shaft segment. The second shaft segment passes through the through hole 711. The outer contour of the cross-section of the first shaft segment is located outside the outer contour of the cross-section of the second shaft segment, so that the mating shaft 4 can reduce friction and collision with the partition 71 and improve the rotational stability of the mating shaft 4.

[0149] In some embodiments of the present invention, the mating shaft 4 is an integrally formed part, which can improve the integrity of the mating shaft 4. The mating shaft 4 has strong structural stability, which is conducive to improving the working reliability of the mating shaft 4.

[0150] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 17 As shown, guide ribs 54 protrude from the inner circumferential surface of the sliding assembly 5, such as... Figure 14 As shown, a guide groove 46 is formed on the outer circumferential surface of the mating shaft 4 to mate with the guide rib 54. Through the guiding engagement of the guide rib 54 and the guide groove 46, the sliding component 5 can be guided to move stably between the locked position and the unlocked position, thereby improving the movement stability of the sliding component 5.

[0151] like Figure 14 As shown, the guide groove 46 is located on the second side 7b and opens in a direction away from the partition 71 to form a slot 461. The sliding assembly 5 is adapted to be fitted onto the mating shaft 4 in a direction from the second side 7b to the first side 7a, so that the guide rib 54 slides and inserts into the guide groove 46 through the slot 461. By setting the slot 461, the assembly of the sliding assembly 5 can be guided, improving the efficiency of disassembly and assembly of the sliding assembly 5 and the mating shaft 4.

[0152] The following is for reference. Figure 18 and Figure 20 Briefly describe the assembly process of quick-release component 32.

[0153] First, connect the output shaft 61 of the first motor to the mating shaft 4. Then, assemble the first motor 6 and the mating shaft 4 together on the mounting base 7 along the direction from the first side 7a to the second side 7b. The first motor 6 is mounted on the mounting base 7, and the mating shaft 4 passes through the through hole 711 on the partition 71 of the mounting base 7, with the side opening 412 of the mating shaft 4 extending into the second side 7b. Finally, fit the sliding assembly 5 onto the mating shaft 4 along the direction from the second side 7b to the first side 7a, so that the guide rib 54 slides and inserts into the guide groove 46 through the slot 461, completing the assembly of the quick-release assembly 32.

[0154] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 18 and Figure 19 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 sleeve 5, and the first motor 6 are all assembled on the mounting base 7.

[0155] like Figure 21 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 shaft end of the rotating shaft 31 is connected to the connecting arm 22. The axis of rotation between the air guide plate 20 and the rotating shaft 31 is the axis of rotation relative to the air conditioner body 10. Because 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.

[0156] like Figure 22 and Figure 23 As shown, when the first motor 6 reaches the set state and the connecting arm 22 abuts against the first limiting wall 72, the rotating shaft 31 is aligned with the side opening 412.

[0157] During the assembly of the air guide plate 20 with the air conditioner 100 body, the first limiting wall 72 serves a positioning function. 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 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 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.

[0158] 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.

[0159] 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 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 7 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 rotating shaft 31, improving the disassembly efficiency of the air guide plate 20.

[0160] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 19 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 17 As shown, the peripheral wall of the sliding assembly 5 is provided with a paddle 55 protruding outward, such as... Figure 6 As shown, the sliding component 5 moves out of the cavity 73 when in the locked position, as... Figure 7 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.

[0161] The mounting base 7 has a cavity 73. When the sliding component 5 is in the unlocked position, it is located within the cavity 73. The mounting base 7 provides support and protection for the sliding component 5, allowing the user to quickly locate and re-drive it. When the sliding component 5 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.

[0162] 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 5 to rotate synchronously. When the paddle 55 on the sliding component 5 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 rotating shaft 31 and the mating shaft 4 can be assembled and connected.

[0163] 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 subsequent rotating shaft 31 and quick-release assembly 32 can be assembled.

[0164] After the first motor 6 and the mating shaft 4 are installed as a whole onto the mounting base 7, the sliding component 5 is assembled with the mating shaft 4 and moved to the unlocked position. However, directly rotating the mating shaft 4 and the sliding component 5 together until the paddle 55 abuts against the second limiting wall 75 is inaccurate, which will lead to the incorrect state of the first motor 6 and the inability of the mating shaft 4 to meet the quick insertion and insertion of the rotating shaft 31. In this embodiment of the invention, by setting a third limiting wall 76, the mating shaft 4 and the sliding component 5 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 5 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 and assembly position, which facilitates the subsequent assembly of the rotating shaft 31 and the quick-release assembly 32 and improves assembly efficiency.

[0165] 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 5 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.

[0166] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 17 As shown, a paddle 55 protrudes from the peripheral wall of the sliding component 5.

[0167] By setting the paddle 55, it is easier to drive the sliding assembly 5 to move between the locked and unlocked positions, which further reduces the difficulty of operating the sliding assembly 5, improves the efficiency of disassembly and assembly of the air guide plate 20 and the air conditioner body 10, and makes it easier for users to clean and maintain the air guide plate 20.

[0168] In some embodiments of the present invention, the mating shaft 4 and the sliding sleeve 5 are guided by a guide structure to restrict the sliding sleeve 5 from sliding relative to the mating shaft 4 without rotation in the axial direction, such as... Figure 5 As shown, the position of the paddle 55 corresponds to that of the side opening 412 in the circumferential direction.

[0169] By setting a guide structure, the stability of the sliding component 5 in the movement between the locked and unlocked positions can be improved, and the sliding component 5 can be guided to move smoothly. The sliding component 5 can also be limited by the cooperation of the guide structure. The sliding component 5 moves along the axial direction of the mating shaft 4 to switch between the unlocked and locked positions. The limiting of the guide mechanism can restrict the rotation of the sliding component 5 relative to the mating shaft 4, improve the situation where the sliding component 5 fails to open or block the side opening 412 due to misalignment of the movement, and improve the working stability of the sliding component 5.

[0170] When the sliding assembly 5 slides axially relative to the mating shaft 4 to switch between the unlocked and locked positions, the paddle 55 always corresponds to the side opening 412 in the circumferential direction. The opening direction of the side opening 412 is the installation and disassembly direction of the rotating shaft 31. The opening direction of the side opening 412 has a large space, providing more room for user operation. This reduces the difficulty for the user to drive the paddle 55 to control the movement of the sliding assembly 5 between the locked and unlocked positions, improves the efficiency of disassembling and assembling the air guide plate 20 and the air conditioner body 10, and facilitates the user's cleaning and maintenance of the air guide plate 20.

[0171] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 24 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.

[0172] 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.

[0173] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 25 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.

[0174] 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.

[0175] After the air guide plate 20 is assembled onto the air conditioner body 10, the first rotating shaft and the second rotating shaft 81 are coaxially arranged. The air guide plate 20 rotates relative to the air outlet 11 about the axis of the second rotating shaft 81. 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, thereby assembling the first rotating shaft and the quick-release assembly 32.

[0176] 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 perpendicular to the first rotating shaft, and separate the first rotating shaft 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.

[0177] 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 along an axis perpendicular to the first rotation axis, 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.

[0178] 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.

[0179] 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, eliminating the need to support the air guide plate 20 during assembly. The gravity of the air guide plate 20 has a smaller impact, reducing the difficulty of operation.

[0180] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 25 and Figure 26 As shown, 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 corresponding second pivot 81. The air guide plate 20 moves downward along the axial direction of the second pivot 81 to insert and cooperate with the second pivot 81 and the shaft hole 821, so that one end of the air guide plate 20 can be assembled with the air conditioner body 10.

[0181] like Figure 25 and Figure 26 As shown, 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, and the rotating shaft seat 82 is sleeved downward outside 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.

[0182] 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.

[0183] 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, and the air conditioner body 10 is provided with a quick-release assembly 32 at the upper end of the air outlet 11.

[0184] 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, and 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 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 shaft 61 of the first motor is inserted upward into the mating shaft 4 so as to drive the first rotating shaft to rotate through the mating shaft 4.

[0185] The first rotating shaft 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.
