[0041] Current air conditioners are usually equipped with air guides to guide the direction of the air. However, the existing air guides are generally connected to the air outlet in a straight section, and the air guides are hidden inside the air outlet, which makes it easy to see black gaps when viewed from the outside, and it is easy to cause a large collision when the air guide is closed, affecting the overall appearance of the air conditioner and customer experience.
[0042] Based on the above questions, please refer to Figure 1 The utility model provides an air conditioner 1, comprising an indoor unit, an outdoor unit and a pipeline, wherein the indoor unit and the outdoor unit are connected by the pipeline.
[0043] See also Figures 2 to 5 The air guide assembly 10 includes at least two plates. First, it should be noted that at least one of the two plates is an air guide plate 200 , and at least the other plate is a panel 100 .
[0044] In detail, the panel 100 is provided with an air outlet 300, wherein at least one plate is rotatably arranged at the air outlet 300, so as to cooperate with another adjacent plate to open or close the air outlet 300; in the closed state, the gap between the two adjacent plates increases from the outside to the inside (in the direction of the arrow as shown in the figure).
[0045] In this embodiment, in the closed state, the gap between two adjacent plates is increased from the outside to the inside of the outdoor unit, so that the overlapping portion between the two plates is in a trumpet-mouth structure. Compared with the uniform overlapping manner of the existing air guide plate 200, it can have a better appearance effect and can effectively reduce the collision that may be caused by the deformation of the air guide plate 200 when the air guide plate 200 is closed, thereby improving the appearance and user comfort.
[0046] Specifically, since the air guide plate 200 is rotatably arranged on the panel 100, the air guide plate 200 can cooperate with the panel 100 to open or close the air outlet 300, and in the closed state, the gap between the air guide plate 200 and the panel 100 increases from the outside to the inside; the air guide plate 200 can also cooperate with another air guide plate 200 to jointly open or close the air outlet 300, and in the closed state, the gap between the air guide plates 200 and the air guide plates 200 increases from the outside to the inside.
[0047] In detail, at least two plates include a panel 100 and an air guide plate 200, the air outlet 300 is arranged on the panel 100, and the air guide plate 200 is rotatably connected to the panel 100; in a closed state, the gap between the panel 100 and the air guide plate 200 increases from the outside to the inside.
[0048] In this embodiment, the number of air guide plates 200 can be one. In this case, the air outlet 300 can be opened or closed by rotating one air guide plate 200 relative to the panel 100, and in the closed state, both ends of the air guide plate 200 overlap the panel 100, and the gap between each end of the air guide plate 200 and the panel 100 increases from the outside to the inside to form a trumpet-mouth structure, thereby reducing the possible collision with the panel 100 due to deformation of the air guide plate 200 in the closed state, thereby improving the aesthetics and comfort of use.
[0049] Furthermore, the panel 100 is provided with a first air guide wall 110 and a second air guide wall 120, which form an air outlet 300, and a first lap wall 210 and a second lap wall 220 are provided at both ends of the air guide plate 200. The first lap wall 210 is used to overlap with the first air guide wall 110, and the second lap wall 220 is used to overlap with the second air guide wall 120.
[0050] In this embodiment, the first overlapping wall 210 is overlapped with the first air guide wall 110, and the second overlapping wall 220 is overlapped with the second air guide wall 120, and the gap between the air guide wall of the panel 100 and the overlapping wall of the air guide plate 200 is increased from the outside to the inside to form a trumpet-mouth structure, thereby reducing the collision between the panel 100 and the air guide plate 200 due to deformation in the closed state, thereby improving the aesthetics and comfort of use.
[0051] Furthermore, the distance between the first air guiding wall 110 and the second air guiding wall 120 gradually decreases from the outside to the inside.
[0052] In this embodiment, the distance between the first air guide wall 110 and the second air guide wall 120 is gradually reduced from outside to inside, so that the enclosed air outlet 300 is also formed in a trumpet shape, which is beneficial to expand the air outlet range, thereby improving the user experience.
[0053] Furthermore, the first overlapping wall 210 and the second overlapping wall 220 are both inclined, and the inclination directions are consistent.
[0054] In this embodiment, the first overlapping wall 210 and the second overlapping wall 220 are arranged at an angle so that the air guide plate 200 and the panel 100 are overlapped at an angle, which can cause visual dislocation when the user views from the front, thereby achieving the purpose of blocking the gap, thereby improving the aesthetics of the air guide assembly 10.
[0055] Furthermore, the panel 100 is also provided with an end wall 130 connected to the first air guide wall 110, the first lap wall 210 is overlapped with the first air guide wall 110, and in the closed state, the gap between the first lap wall 210 and the end wall 130 gradually increases from the outside to the inside; the second lap wall 220 is overlapped with the second air guide wall 120, and in the closed state, the gap between the second lap wall 220 and the second air guide wall 120 gradually increases from the outside to the inside.
[0056] In this embodiment, since the first air guide wall 110 and the second air guide wall 120 are in a flared structure, and the first lap wall 210 and the second lap wall 220 are in the same inclination direction, for example, inclined to the left in the figure, therefore, in order to ensure that the gap between the first air guide wall 110 and the first lap wall 210 and the gap between the second air guide wall 120 and the second lap wall 220 can be gradually increased, the first lap wall 210 is overlapped with the end wall 130, and the gap between the first lap wall 210 and the end wall 130 is gradually increased from the outside to the inside to form a trumpet-mouth structure, which not only enables the air guide assembly 10 to have a better outer tube effect, but also can reduce the collision that may be caused by the deformation of the air guide plate 200 in the closed state, thereby improving the aesthetics and comfort of use.
[0057] Furthermore, in the case where there are multiple air guide plates 200, the multiple air guide plates 200 are sequentially rotated and arranged at the air outlet 300 and can overlap each other to jointly open or close the air outlet 300. Among them, at least one air guide plate 200 is provided with a third overlapping wall 230, and at least another air guide plate 200 is provided with a fourth overlapping wall 240, the third overlapping wall 230 overlaps with the fourth overlapping wall 240, and in the closed state, the gap between the third overlapping wall 230 and the fourth overlapping wall 240 gradually increases from the outside to the inside.
[0058] In this embodiment, as shown in the figure, a third lap wall 230 is provided at the right end of the air guide plate 200 located on the left in the figure, and a fourth lap wall 240 is provided at the left end of the air guide plate 200 located on the right, so that in the closed state, the gap between the third lap wall 230 and the fourth lap wall 240 gradually increases from the outside to the inside to form a trumpet-mouth structure, which not only enables the air guide assembly 10 to have a better outer tube effect, but also reduces the collision that may be caused by the deformation of the air guide plate 200 in the closed state, thereby improving the aesthetics and comfort of use.
[0059] Of course, the number of the air guide plates 200 can also be three, four or more. When the number of the air guide plates 200 is more than three, the first lap wall 210 or the second lap wall 220 is set at one end of the two air guide plates 200 located on both sides, and the third lap wall 230 or the fourth lap wall 240 is set at the other end, and the two ends of the air guide plate 200 located in the middle are respectively the third lap wall 230 and the fourth lap wall 240.
[0060] Furthermore, the third overlapping wall 230 and the fourth overlapping wall 240 are both inclined, and the inclination directions are consistent.
[0061] In this embodiment, the third overlapping wall 230 and the fourth overlapping wall 240 are both inclined so that two adjacent air guide plates 200 overlap at an angle, which can cause visual dislocation when the user views from the front, thereby achieving the purpose of blocking the gap, thereby improving the aesthetics of the air guide assembly 10.
[0062] Furthermore, the air guide assembly 10 further includes an air outlet window 400 , which is disposed on the inner side of the panel 100 and overlapped with the panel 100 .
[0063] In this embodiment, the air outlet window 400 overlaps with the inner side of the panel 100, and both ends of the air guide plate 200 overlap with the panel 100, that is, the air guide plate 200 does not overlap with the air outlet window 400, thereby achieving the purpose of reducing the gap.
[0064] In summary, the utility model provides an air guide assembly 10 and an air conditioner 1, which increase the gap between two adjacent plates from the outside toward the inside of the outdoor unit, so that the overlapping portion between the two plates is in a trumpet-mouth structure. Compared with the uniform overlapping manner of the existing air guide plate 200, the air guide plate 200 has a better appearance effect, and can effectively reduce the collision that may be caused by the deformation of the air guide plate 200 when the air guide plate 200 is closed, thereby improving the appearance and user comfort.

For those skilled in the art, the utility model can have various modifications and changes.
