[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of air conditioners, in particular to an air guide plate for an air conditioner and the air conditioner. Background Art
[0002] The working principle of air supply of air conditioner is to change the angle of air supply by changing the angle of guide plate to achieve different air supply effects. When the guide plate rotates, some positions need the guide plate to extend as much as possible to extend the air duct and increase the air guide distance, but the existing guide plate generally has a fixed structure and cannot meet the need of extending the guide plate in some positions. Utility Model Content
[0003] In view of the above problems, the utility model is proposed to provide an air guide plate for an air conditioner and an air conditioner that overcomes the above problems or at least partially solves the above problems, and can solve the problem that the air guide plate cannot extend outward, thereby achieving the effect of increasing the air guide distance by extending the air duct.
[0004] Specifically, the utility model provides an air guide plate for an air conditioner, comprising:
[0005] An air deflector body, the air deflector body being rotatably disposed at the air outlet of the air conditioner; the air deflector body having a receiving cavity, the receiving cavity having a forward opening;
[0006] A slide plate is inserted into the accommodating cavity and is telescopically arranged at the opening.
[0007] Optionally, the air guide plate further includes:
[0008] A protrusion, wherein the protrusion is arranged at the rear side of the slide plate, and the slide plate follows the air deflector body to rotate relative to the protrusion; the side wall of the protrusion abuts against the rear wall of the slide plate, and the side wall of the protrusion is configured to push the slide plate to move forward when the slide plate follows the air deflector body to rotate relative to the protrusion;
[0009] An elastic member is connected between the slide plate and the air guide plate body to provide a backward pulling force to the slide plate.
[0010] Optionally, the air guide plate further includes:
[0011] A rotation axis passes through the air guide plate body, and the air guide plate body rotates around the rotation axis to guide the air outlet direction of the air outlet.
[0012] Optionally, the rotating shaft passes through the bump and is spaced apart from a side wall of the bump.
[0013] Optionally, the elastic member is a tension spring.
[0014] Optionally, there are a plurality of tension springs, and the plurality of tension springs are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the rear wall of the slide plate.
[0015] Optionally, the protrusion is a cam.
[0016] Optionally, the rotating shaft passes through the large head of the cam.
[0017] Optionally, there are multiple cams, and the multiple cams are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the rotating shaft.
[0018] The utility model also provides an air conditioner, comprising:
[0019] A shell, wherein the air outlet is provided on the shell, and the air guide plate as described in any one of the above items is arranged at the air outlet;
[0020] A driving device is configured to drive the air guide plate body to rotate.
[0021] In the air guide plate for an air conditioner and the air conditioner of the utility model, the air guide plate body rotates at the air outlet to guide the air outlet direction of the air outlet, and the slide plate rotates with the air guide plate body and when it is extended out of the opening, the length of the air guide plate can be increased, thereby increasing the length of the air duct, which is conducive to the air blown out from the air outlet to flow in a farther direction, thereby achieving the effect of increasing the air guide distance by extending the air duct, thereby increasing the air outlet range of the air conditioner and improving the comfort of the user.
[0022] Furthermore, during the process of the air deflector body rotating to guide the wind, the slide plate rotates relatively along the side wall of the protrusion as the air deflector body rotates, and the side wall of the protrusion provides a forward thrust to the slide plate so that the slide plate moves forward. The elastic member provides a pulling force to the slide plate in sequence to ensure that the side wall of the protrusion always contacts the rear wall of the slide plate and that the slide plate can be reset. The contour of the side wall is based on the ability to provide thrust to the slide plate, for example, the side wall has an undulating surface. The slide plate moves with the air deflector body and rotates relative to the protrusion. When the air deflector body rotates to different angles, the position of the side wall of the protrusion contacted by the slide plate is different, the state of extension and contraction is different, and the extension and contraction amplitude is also different. The above arrangement allows the slide plate to extend and contract at the opening as the air deflector body rotates at different angles. In this way, when the air deflector body is at certain angles and the air duct needs to be extended, the slide plate can be extended, and when the air duct does not need to be extended at certain angles, the slide plate can be retracted.
[0023] Furthermore, this arrangement makes the installation of the cam more stable.
[0024] Furthermore, multiple tension springs can make the pulling force on the slide plate more uniform, avoiding the slide plate from tilting due to the force points of a tension spring and a cam not being in a straight line, causing the slide plate to get stuck in the accommodating cavity.

[0036] Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of an air guide plate according to an embodiment of the utility model. Figure 1 As shown, and refer to Figures 2 to 5 The embodiment of the utility model provides an air guide plate 12 for an air conditioner, comprising an air guide plate body 121 and a slide plate 122. The air guide plate body 121 is rotatably disposed at the air outlet 13 of the air conditioner 10. The air guide plate body 121 has an accommodating cavity 126, and the accommodating cavity 126 has an opening facing forward. The slide plate 122 is inserted into the accommodating cavity 126 and is telescopically disposed at the opening.
[0037] The air guide plate body 121 rotates at the air outlet 13 to guide the air outlet direction of the air outlet 13. The slide plate 122 rotates with the air guide plate body 121 and when it is extended out of the opening, the length of the air guide plate 12 can be increased, thereby increasing the length of the air duct, which is conducive to the wind blown out from the air outlet 13 to flow in a farther direction, thereby achieving the effect of increasing the air guide distance by extending the air duct, thereby increasing the air outlet range of the air conditioner 10 and improving the user's comfort.
[0038] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the air deflector 12 further includes a protrusion and an elastic member. The protrusion is arranged at the rear side of the slide plate 122, and the slide plate 122 rotates relative to the protrusion following the air deflector body 121. The side wall of the protrusion abuts against the rear wall of the slide plate 122. The side wall of the protrusion is configured to provide a forward thrust to the slide plate 122 when the slide plate 122 rotates relative to the protrusion following the air deflector body 121. The elastic member is connected between the slide plate 122 and the air deflector body 121 to provide a backward pulling force to the slide plate 122.
[0039] During the process of the air deflector body 121 rotating to guide the wind, the slide plate 122 rotates relatively along the side wall of the protrusion as the air deflector body 121 rotates, and the side wall of the protrusion provides a forward thrust to the slide plate 122 so that the slide plate 122 moves forward. The elastic member provides a pulling force to the slide plate 122 in sequence to ensure that the side wall of the protrusion always contacts the rear wall of the slide plate 122 and that the slide plate can be reset. The contour of the side wall is based on the ability to provide thrust to the slide plate, for example, the side wall has an undulating surface. The slide plate 122 moves with the air deflector body 121 and rotates relative to the protrusion. When the air deflector body 121 rotates to different angles, the position of the side wall of the protrusion contacted by the slide plate 122 is different, the telescopic state is different, and the telescopic amplitude is also different. The above arrangement allows the slide plate 122 to telescope at the opening as the air deflector body 121 rotates at different angles. In this way, when the air guide plate body 121 is at a certain angle and the air duct needs to be extended, the slide plate 122 can be extended, and when the air duct does not need to be extended at a certain angle, the slide plate 122 can be retracted.
[0040] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the side wall of the projection has an undulating surface or the side wall of the projection includes a connected plane and an arc surface. Preferably, the projection is a cam 123. The side wall of the cam 123 is composed of a large arc surface, a small arc surface, and two planes tangent to the large arc surface and the small arc surface, which are arranged opposite to each other. Each plane is connected to the large arc surface and the small arc surface on the corresponding side. This cam has a simple structure, is easy to process, and has a low cost.
[0041] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the air deflector 12 further includes a rotation shaft 125 , which passes through the air deflector body 121 . The air deflector body 121 rotates around the rotation shaft 125 to guide the air outlet direction of the air outlet 13 .
[0042] The air guide plate rotates around the rotation axis 125 to guide the air outlet direction of the air outlet 13. When the air guide plate is parallel to the horizontal plane, the rotation axis 125 is also parallel to the horizontal plane, and the air guide plate rotates up and down to guide the air outlet direction. When the air guide plate is set vertically, the rotation axis 125 is also parallel to the vertical, and the air guide plate rotates horizontally to guide the air outlet direction.
[0043] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the rotating shaft 125 passes through the protrusion and is spaced apart from the side wall of the protrusion. In other words, the rotating shaft 125 does not pass through the side wall of the protrusion. For example, the protrusion has an upper wall and a lower wall. The edge of the upper wall is connected to the upper edge of the side wall, and the edge of the lower wall is connected to the lower edge of the side wall. The rotating shaft 125 passes through the upper wall and the lower wall, and is spaced apart from the side wall of the protrusion. Of course, the rotating shaft 125 can also be tangent to the side wall. The rotating shaft 125 passes through the protrusion so that the air guide plate body 121 also rotates relative to the protrusion.
[0044] Further, in some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the rotating shaft 125 passes through the large head 1231 of the cam 123. This arrangement makes the installation of the cam 123 more stable, especially when the slide plate 122 conflicts with the small head of the cam 123. Of course, the rotating shaft 125 can also pass through the small head of the cam 123, and even the rotating shaft 125 can also be set between the large cylinder and the small cylinder. Preferably, the rotating shaft 125 is coaxial with the large head 1231 of the cam 123. The side wall of the large head here is a large cylindrical surface, and the side wall of the small head is a small cylindrical surface.
[0045] In some embodiments of the utility model, there are multiple protrusions, and the multiple protrusions are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the rotating shaft. That is to say, there are multiple cams 123. The multiple cams 123 are arranged on the rotating shaft at the same angle, that is, the projections of the multiple cams on the plane perpendicular to the rotating shaft overlap. This arrangement can make the expansion and contraction of the slide plate 122 more stable, and avoid the slide plate 122 tilting due to the force points of an elastic member and a cam 123 not being on a straight line, causing the slide plate 122 to get stuck in the accommodating cavity 126. Preferably, the intervals between two adjacent cams 123 are equal.
[0046] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the elastic member is a tension spring 124. Of course, in other embodiments of the present invention, the elastic member may also be a rubber band or the like.
[0047] Further, in some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, there are multiple tension springs 124, and the multiple tension springs 124 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the rotating shaft 125. Multiple tension springs 124 can make the pulling force on the slide plate 122 more uniform. When there is only one cam, it is avoided that the points of force of one tension spring 124 and one cam 123 are not on a straight line, so that the slide plate 122 is tilted, causing the slide plate 122 to be stuck in the accommodating cavity 126. Preferably, the intervals between two adjacent tension springs 124 are equal, so that the tension provided by the tension springs 124 is more uniform.
[0048] In some embodiments of the utility model, the air deflector body may also be provided with a slide groove, and a corresponding claw is provided on the slide plate, and the claw is clamped in the slide groove, so that the slide plate can be movably arranged on one side of the air deflector and can be extended and retracted. The slide plate is fixedly connected to the rack, and a gear that meshes with the rack is provided on the air deflector body. When the gear rotates, the gear drives the rack to move, and then drives the slide plate to rotate along the slide groove, so that the slide plate can be extended and retracted according to the rotation angle of the air deflector body, thereby extending the length of the air deflector.
[0049] In some embodiments of the present invention, the accommodating cavity 126 further has a rearward opening, and the air deflector body further includes a fixing plate, which is arranged at a distance from the rear side of the rearward opening of the accommodating cavity 126. The rotating shaft is arranged between the slide plate and the rearward opening of the accommodating cavity 126, and the elastic member is connected between the slide plate and the fixing plate of the air deflector body.
[0050] In some embodiments of the utility model, the air deflector body further includes a connecting plate, which is connected to the fixing plate and the wall of the accommodating cavity 126. Preferably, there are two connecting plates, which are arranged at both ends of the fixing plate in the length direction. The rotating shaft passes through the two connecting plates.
[0051] The present utility model embodiment also provides an air conditioner 10, such as Figure 4 and 5 As shown, the air conditioner 10 includes a housing 11 and a driving device. The housing 11 is provided with an air outlet 13, and an air guide plate such as any of the above embodiments is arranged at the air outlet 13. The driving device is configured to drive the air guide plate body 121 to rotate.
[0052] The driving device drives the air deflector body 121 to rotate to guide the air outlet direction of the air outlet 13. In the process of the air deflector body 121 rotating to guide the air, the slide plate 122 rotates relatively along the side wall of the protrusion as the air deflector body 121 rotates, and the side wall of the protrusion provides a forward thrust to the slide plate 122 so that the slide plate 122 moves forward. The elastic member provides a pulling force to the slide plate 122 in sequence so that the slide plate is reset and ensures that the slide plate contacts the side wall of the protrusion. The slide plate 122 moves with the air deflector body 121 and rotates relative to the protrusion. When the air deflector body 121 rotates to different angles, the position of the side wall of the protrusion contacted by the slide plate 122 is different, the state of extension is different, and the amplitude of extension is also different. The above arrangement enables the slide plate 122 to extend and retract at the opening as the air deflector body 121 rotates at different angles. In this way, when the air deflector body 121 is at certain angles and the air duct needs to be extended, the slide plate 122 can be extended, and when the air duct does not need to be extended at certain angles, the slide plate 122 can be retracted.
[0053] In some embodiments of the present invention, the driving device is a motor.
[0054] like Figure 4 As shown, the air conditioner 10 is in a state where the air guide plate 12 opens the air outlet 13, and the air guide plate 12 guides the air out of the air outlet 13. The air guide plate body 121 swings up and down to guide the air out of the air outlet 13, and the slide plate 122 is extended and retracted as the air guide plate body 121 swings up and down under the action of the cam 123 and the tension spring 124.
[0055] like Figure 5 As shown, the air conditioner 10 is in a state where the air guide plate 12 closes the air outlet 13, and no air comes out of the air outlet 13.
[0056] The air conditioner 10 includes an air conditioner indoor unit, and the air conditioner indoor unit includes a vertical air conditioner indoor unit and a wall-mounted air conditioner indoor unit. The air guide plate can be installed at the air outlet 13 of the vertical air conditioner indoor unit or the wall-mounted air conditioner indoor unit. Preferably, when the air guide plate is installed at the air outlet 13 of the vertical air conditioner indoor unit, the air guide plate is vertically arranged to guide the lateral air outlet direction of the air outlet, and correspondingly, the rotating shaft 125 is also vertically arranged. When the air guide plate is installed at the air outlet 13 of the wall-mounted air conditioner indoor unit, the air guide plate is horizontally arranged to guide the up and down air outlet direction of the air outlet, and correspondingly, the rotating shaft 125 is also horizontally arranged.
[0057] In some embodiments of the utility model, there can be multiple air guide plates, and the multiple air guide plates are arranged parallel to each other and at intervals. Obviously, multiple air guide plates are arranged at the air outlet 13, which is more conducive to guiding the air outflow at the air outlet 13. In particular, at the same time, the slide plates in the multiple air guide plate bodies 121 can be extended to different lengths, so that the air outflow has multiple air outlet modes.
[0058] In some embodiments of the utility model, the air conditioner 10 further includes an air duct connected to the air outlet 13 and a heat exchanger and a fan arranged in the air duct. The housing is also provided with an air inlet connected to the air duct. When the air conditioner 10 is working, the fan rotates to guide the air into the air duct from the air inlet on the housing, and the airflow entering the air duct exchanges heat through the heat exchanger to become a heat exchange airflow. Under the guidance of the fan, the heat exchange airflow flows out from the air outlet 13 and flows into the room, thereby playing a role in changing the indoor ambient temperature. For example, when the air conditioner 10 is heating, the temperature of the heat exchanger is relatively high, and the airflow passing through the heat exchanger becomes a heating airflow. At this time, the heating airflow is blown into the room under the guidance of the fan, which can increase the indoor ambient temperature. When the air conditioner 10 is cooling, the temperature of the heat exchanger is relatively low, and the airflow passing through the heat exchanger becomes a cooling airflow. At this time, the cooling airflow is blown into the room under the guidance of the fan, which can reduce the indoor ambient temperature.
[0059] In some embodiments of the utility model, the air conditioner 10 further includes a compressor, a condenser, a throttling device, and a working fluid flow path that sequentially connects the compressor, the condenser, the throttling device, and the heat exchanger. The working fluid is compressed in the compressor, and its temperature and pressure are increased to form a high-temperature and high-pressure gas working fluid. The high-temperature and high-pressure gas working fluid flows into the condenser, dissipates heat to the outside, and cools the gas working fluid and condenses into a high-pressure liquid working fluid. The high-pressure liquid working fluid passes through the throttling device, reduces pressure and temperature, and becomes a low-temperature and low-pressure liquid working fluid. At the same time, part of the liquid working fluid vaporizes to form a gas-liquid mixture. The low-temperature and low-pressure gas-liquid mixture enters the heat exchanger, absorbs the heat of the air flow passing through the heat exchanger, vaporizes the working fluid, forms a low-temperature and low-pressure gas working fluid, and at the same time reduces the indoor temperature to achieve a refrigeration effect. When heating, the outlet of the compressor is directly connected to the heat exchanger. The high-temperature gas working fluid heated by the compressor passes through the heat exchanger, exchanges heat with the air flow passing through the heat exchanger, and the air flow becomes a heating air flow.
