[0048] Combine the following Figure 1-Figure 6 The utility model describes an air inlet assembly and an air conditioner.

[0049] According to the embodiment of the first aspect of the present utility model, referring to Figure 1-Figure 6 As shown, the air inlet assembly provided by the utility model mainly includes: an air inlet guide plate 2 and a driving structure. The air inlet guide plate 2 is movably arranged at the bottom of the air conditioner 1; the driving structure is arranged on the air conditioner 1 and is drivingly connected to the air inlet guide plate 2, and is used to drive the air inlet guide plate 2 to move back and forth to open or close the air inlet 101 at the bottom of the air conditioner 1; when the air inlet 101 is opened, the air inlet guide plate 2 is staggered with the air inlet 101 and is located below the bottom of the air conditioner 1; when the air inlet 101 is closed, the air inlet guide plate 2 is located inside the air inlet 101.

[0050] Specifically, the air inlet guide plate 2 can be movably installed at the bottom of the air conditioner 1 so as to open or close the air inlet 101 as needed; it is connected to the air inlet guide plate 2 through a driving structure and is responsible for driving the air inlet guide plate 2 to perform reciprocating motion. The design of this driving structure enables the air inlet 101 to open and close automatically without manual intervention; when the air inlet 101 is opened, the air inlet guide plate 2 is staggered with the air inlet 101 and is located below the bottom of the air conditioner 1, ensuring that air can flow in from the air inlet 101. When the air inlet 101 is closed, the air inlet guide plate 2 will move to the inside of the air inlet 101 to block it, thereby preventing dust and other impurities from entering.

[0051] The air inlet assembly provided by the embodiment of the utility model can prevent dust accumulation through the automatic opening and closing mechanism of the air inlet 101, thereby maintaining a good air supply effect. In addition, when the air inlet 101 is closed, the air inlet guide plate 2 is hidden inside the air conditioner 1, improving the aesthetics of the whole machine.

[0052] Therefore, the utility model realizes the automatic opening and closing of the air inlet 101 of the household surface-mounted air conditioner by introducing a movable air inlet guide plate 2 and a driving structure, which not only improves the air supply effect, but also improves the aesthetics of the product, and helps to enhance the user experience.

[0053] According to one embodiment of the utility model, referring to Figure 2-Figure 5 As shown, a cylindrical connecting column 201 is provided at the end of the air inlet guide plate 2, two connecting columns 201 can be arranged at intervals, and the connecting column 201 is passed through the side of the air conditioner 1; the driving structure mainly includes: a rack 3, a first guide rail 4 and a motor 5, the rack 3 is movably arranged on the side of the air conditioner 1 and is provided with a strip hole 301 extending along the height direction; the first guide rail 4 is stepped and is arranged between the side of the air conditioner 1 and the rack 3, the connecting column 201 is slidably passed through the first guide rail 4 and is connected to the strip hole 301 of the rack 3; the rotating shaft of the motor 5 is provided with a driving gear 6, and the driving gear 6 is meshed with the rack 3.

[0054] Specifically, when the air inlet 101 needs to be closed, the motor 5 drives the rack 3 to move via the driving gear 6, driving the connecting column 201 to slide on the first guide rail 4, thereby driving the air inlet guide plate 2 to move upward and completely cover the air inlet 101; when the air inlet 101 needs to be opened, the motor 5 drives the rack 3 to move in the opposite direction via the driving gear 6, driving the connecting column 201 to slide in the opposite direction on the first guide rail 4, thereby driving the air inlet guide plate 2 to move downward to below the bottom of the air conditioner 1, ensuring that the air inlet 101 is fully exposed.

[0055] It is understandable that, by providing the strip-shaped hole 301 , the utility model can facilitate the up and down movement of the connecting column 201 on the stepped first guide rail 4 , thereby ensuring the smooth movement of the air inlet guide plate 2 .

[0056] The embodiment of the utility model can effectively control the position of the air inlet guide plate 2 through the driving structure, realize the automatic opening and closing function of the air inlet 101, and ensure the stability of the air inlet guide plate 2 during movement to avoid shaking or deviation from the predetermined path.

[0057] According to one embodiment of the present invention, referring to Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the first guide rail 4 includes a first part 401, a transition part 402 and a second part 403 which are connected in sequence, the first part 401 is arranged on the side of the air inlet 101 and is higher than the air inlet 101, the transition part 402 is arranged on the side of the air inlet 101, and the second part 403 is arranged at the bottom of the side of the air conditioner 1.

[0058] Specifically, the first part 401 is arranged on the side of the air inlet 101 and is positioned higher than the air inlet 101. Such a layout helps to guide the air inlet guide plate 2 to move upward and completely cover the air inlet 101 when the air inlet 101 is closed, thereby preventing dust or other impurities from entering; the transition part 402 is arranged on the side of the air inlet 101 as a transition area between the first part 401 and the second part 403. In the transition part 402, the air inlet guide plate 2 can be smoothly lowered from the height of the first part 401 to the height of the second part 403, thereby ensuring the smoothness and stability of the entire movement process; the second part 403 is arranged at the bottom of the side of the air conditioner 1. During the process of opening the air inlet 101, the second part 403 can provide support for the air inlet guide plate 2 and guide it to slide downward to the bottom of the bottom of the air conditioner 1, thereby ensuring that the air inlet 101 is fully exposed, which is conducive to the flow of air.

[0059] Therefore, the embodiment of the utility model can realize the position switching of the air inlet guide plate 2 by setting a stepped first guide rail 4, so as to better open and close the air inlet 101; and can make the air inlet guide plate 2 be effectively guided and supported during the entire movement process, effectively improving the operation stability and reliability.

[0060] According to one embodiment of the present invention, referring to Figure 4 As shown, the first portion 401 and the second portion 403 are parallel to each other, and the transition portion 402 is inclined. Such a design can ensure the smoothness of the movement of the air inlet guide plate 2, avoid jamming, and have a buffering effect.

[0061] According to one embodiment of the present invention, referring to Figure 2 As shown, the driving structure also includes: a second guide rail 7, which can be installed on the bottom of the side of the air conditioner 1 through a mounting bracket (not shown in the figure), and the rack 3 can be slidably arranged on the second guide rail 7.

[0062] The embodiment of the utility model can ensure that the rack 3 moves accurately along the set path under the drive of the motor 5 by providing the second guide rail 7, thereby improving the operating accuracy and stability of the entire driving structure.

[0063] According to one embodiment of the utility model, referring to Figure 1 As shown, the left and right ends of the air inlet guide plate 2 are respectively connected with a driving structure. Such a design can effectively improve the stability of the movement of the air inlet guide plate 2.

[0064] According to one embodiment of the utility model, referring to Figure 5 As shown, the upper surface of the air inlet guide plate 2 is provided with at least one reinforcing sheet metal.

[0065] For example, a first reinforcing sheet metal 8 and a second reinforcing sheet metal 9 are arranged side by side on the left and right sides of the air inlet guide plate 2 along the length direction.

[0066] The embodiment of the utility model can improve the overall strength of the air inlet guide plate 2 by arranging a reinforced sheet metal on the upper surface of the air inlet guide plate 2, so that it is not easy to deform when subjected to external pressure or impact, thereby ensuring the stability of the air inlet guide plate 2 in long-term use, and can improve the vibration resistance of the air inlet guide plate 2, reduce the noise generated during operation, and thus improve the user comfort; due to the increased strength and vibration resistance, the reinforced sheet metal helps to extend the service life of the air inlet guide plate 2, thereby reducing maintenance costs and replacement frequency.

[0067] According to one embodiment of the utility model, referring to Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the reinforced sheet metal is clamped with the air inlet guide plate 2.

[0068] For example, the reinforced sheet metal is a hollow structure, and a plurality of slots 10 are arranged at intervals on the top of the reinforced sheet metal along the length direction. Accordingly, a buckle 11 engaging with the slot 10 is arranged on the air inlet guide plate 2, and the buckle 11 is located in the reinforced sheet metal; and a plurality of positioning blocks 12 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the air inlet guide plate 2, and the edge of the reinforced sheet metal can be inserted into the positioning slot of the positioning block 12. When installing, first insert the edge of the air inlet guide plate 2 into the positioning slot of the positioning block 12, and then press downward to engage the buckle 11 on the air inlet guide plate 2 with the slot 10 on the reinforced sheet metal.

[0069] Such a design can, on the one hand, achieve rapid assembly of reinforced sheet metal, facilitate installation and maintenance, and on the other hand, improve the stability and reliability of the connection.

[0070] According to one embodiment of the utility model, referring to Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, at least one magnet 13 is provided on the bottom upper surface of the air conditioner 1; when the air inlet 101 is closed, the magnet 13 is magnetically connected to the reinforced sheet metal on the air inlet guide plate 2.

[0071] For example, a plurality of support plates 14 are provided at intervals along the length direction on the bottom upper surface of the air conditioner 1, and a magnet 13 is provided on the support plate 14. When the air inlet 101 is closed, the magnet 13 can attract the second reinforced sheet metal 9, and there is a gap between the magnet 13 and the second reinforced sheet metal 9. When the air inlet 101 needs to be opened, only a certain driving force needs to be applied to overcome the magnetic attraction force, and the operation is simple.

[0072] Such a design can further stabilize the air inlet guide plate 2, making it more secure when closed and not easily accidentally opened due to external force; and the magnetic connection has almost no mechanical friction sound, so no noise is generated when opening and closing the air inlet 101, thereby improving the user experience.

[0073] According to one embodiment of the present invention, referring to Figure 1 As shown, the air conditioner 1 is rectangular in shape, and the air inlet guide plate 2 is plate-shaped. When the air inlet 101 is opened, the air inlet guide plate 2 moves to the bottom of the air conditioner 1 and fits with the bottom of the air conditioner 1, thereby reducing the occupied space; when the air inlet 101 is closed, the air inlet guide plate 2 is located in the air inlet 101 and is flush with the bottom of the air conditioner 1 to ensure aesthetics.

[0074] According to an embodiment of the second aspect of the utility model, the utility model further provides an air conditioner, mainly comprising: the air inlet assembly of the above embodiment. The specific type of the air conditioner of the utility model is not particularly limited, for example, it can be a duct air conditioner.

[0075] Since the air conditioner of the utility model includes the air intake assembly of the above embodiment, it has all the technical effects of the air intake assembly of the above embodiment, which will not be described in detail here.

[0076] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the utility model, rather than to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or make equivalent replacements for some of the technical features therein. However, these modifications or replacements do not deviate the essence of the corresponding technical solutions from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the various embodiments of the utility model.
