DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0034] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and understandable, the specific embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0035] See also Figure 1 In the embodiment of the present application, an air conditioner 10 is provided, which can be installed in a designated area and provide air conditioning to the designated area by means of air outlet. The air conditioner 10 provided in the present embodiment can improve the technical problems in the prior art that the air guide door 200 is sunken or cannot be tightly closed, causing air leakage and other problems that affect the user experience.
[0036] Among them, in this embodiment, the air conditioner 10 includes an air conditioner body (not shown) and an air outlet structure 11. The air outlet structure 11 is arranged on the air conditioner body, and the air outlet structure 11 is used to guide the airflow formed inside the air conditioner body to provide air conditioning for the designated area. It is worth noting that in this embodiment, the air outlet structure 11 can improve the technical problems of the prior art such as the air guide door 200 being sunken or unable to be tightly closed, causing air leakage, etc., which affect the user experience. Based on this, the air conditioner 10 using the air outlet structure 11 can improve the technical problems of the prior art such as the air guide door 200 being sunken or unable to be tightly closed, causing air leakage, etc., which affect the user experience.
[0037] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The air outlet structure 11 includes an air outlet frame 100 and an air guide door 200. The air outlet frame 100 includes a base 110 and a frame body 120. The base 110 is disposed above the frame body 120. The frame body 120 is provided with an air outlet 121. The base 110 is also provided with a limiting portion 111. The limiting portion 111 protrudes from the air outlet area of the air outlet 121. The air guide door 200 is rotatably connected to the base 110 and is disposed in the air outlet 121. The air guide door 200 is used to open or close the air outlet 121, and when the air guide door 200 closes the air outlet 121, the air guide door 200 abuts against the limiting portion 111.
[0038] It should be noted that the limiting portion 111 protrudes from the air outlet area of the air outlet 121, and the limiting portion 111 is at least partially located on the rotation path of the air guide door 200, so that the air guide door 200 can be supported on the limiting portion 111 when closing the air outlet 121. In addition, when the air guide door 200 rotates relative to the air outlet frame 100 to an air outlet direction that is roughly perpendicular to the air outlet 121, the air guide door 200 closes the air outlet 121. At this time, the air guide door 200 closes the air outlet 121; and when the air guide door 200 rotates and the angle between the air guide door 200 and the air outlet direction decreases, the air guide door 200 opens the air outlet 121. It is worth noting that the air guide door 200 has a position in its rotation path where it is in a state of closing the air outlet 121, such as Figure 5 , and the air guide door 200 can have multiple positions in which the air outlet 121 is opened, such as Figure 6 .
[0039] As described above, in the air outlet structure 11, when the air guide door 200 closes the air outlet 121, the positioning and limiting of the air guide door 200 can be achieved through the limiting portion 111. On the one hand, it can ensure that the air guide door 200 rotates to the specified position to tightly close the air outlet 121 to avoid the formation of gaps; on the other hand, the limiting portion 111 can also be used to support the air guide door 200 to prevent the air guide door 200 from sinking inward and causing gaps, and to prevent the air guide door 200 from being pressed inward by external force and causing damage. Based on this, the setting of the limiting portion 111 can improve the technical problems in the prior art that the air guide door 200 sinks inward or cannot be tightly closed to cause air leakage, etc., which affect the user experience.
[0040] Optionally, in this embodiment, the limiting portion 111 is integrally formed with the base 110. The limiting portion 111 and the base 110 are integrally formed, which can facilitate the production of the limiting portion 111 and reduce the production cost. At the same time, the limiting portion 111 and the base 110 are integrally formed, which can ensure the stability of the limiting portion 111 and extend the service life of the limiting portion 111.
[0041] It should be understood that the integral connection of the limiting portion 111 and the base 110 is only a preferred embodiment of the present application. In other embodiments, the limiting portion 111 can also be fixed to the base 110 by means of snap connection, bonding or welding.
[0042] Furthermore, a supporting surface 1111 is provided on the limiting portion 111, and the supporting surface 1111 is a plane; when the air guide door 200 closes the air outlet 121, the air guide door 200 fits against the supporting surface 1111. When the air guide door 200 closes the air outlet 121, the air guide door 200 and the supporting surface 1111 are matched with each other to ensure that the air guide door 200 and the limiting portion 111 are closely matched, which can improve the stability of the air guide door 200 on the one hand, and improve the sealing performance on the other hand, to prevent the generation of gaps that cause air leakage.
[0043] Of course, in other embodiments, other methods can be used to achieve cooperation with the air guide door 200. For example, in some embodiments, the inner side surface of the air guide door 200 forms a curved surface, and in this case, the surface of the limiting portion 111 that cooperates with the air guide door 200 can also be set as a curved surface.
[0044] In addition, in this embodiment, there are multiple air guide doors 200 and multiple limiting parts 111; when multiple air guide doors 200 close the air outlet 121, the multiple air guide doors 200 are respectively held against the multiple limiting parts 111. The limiting parts 111 of the multiple air guide doors 200 are independently provided to independently complete the limiting of each air guide door 200, which can improve the limiting stability of the air guide door 200 and also improve the positioning accuracy of each of the multiple air guide doors 200.
[0045] In Figure 2 For example, there are two air guide doors 200. Correspondingly, two limiting portions 111 are provided on the base 110. The two limiting portions 111 correspond to the two air guide doors 200 respectively. When the two air guide doors 200 close the air outlet 121, the two air guide doors 200 are respectively supported by the two limiting portions 111.
[0046] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 The air outlet structure 11 further includes a driving assembly 130 disposed on the base 110, and the driving assembly 130 includes a first driving member 132, a connecting member 134, a second driving member 133 and a driving device 131; the first driving member 132 is transmission-connected to the driving device 131; the second driving member 133 is connected to the air guide door 200; and the first driving member 132 and the second driving member 133 are both connected to the connecting member 134 to form a crank connecting rod structure; the driving device 131 is used to drive the air guide door 200 to rotate in the air outlet 121. The crank connecting rod structure is used to drive the air guide door 200, so that the air guide door 200 can reciprocate in the air outlet 121.
[0047] When the driving device 131 is running, the driving device 131 drives the first driving member 132 to rotate, the first driving member 132 drives the connecting member 134 to move, the connecting member 134 drives the second driving member 133 to rotate, and the second driving member 133 drives the air guide door 200 to rotate.
[0048] It is worth noting that when there are multiple air guide doors 200, there can also be multiple second driving members 133. The multiple second driving members 133 are all movably connected to the connecting member 134. When the first driving member 132 drives the connecting member 134 to move, the connecting member 134 drives the multiple second driving members 133 to move synchronously, thereby driving the multiple air guide doors 200 to rotate synchronously.
[0049] Based on this, it can be understood that, since the plurality of air guide doors 200 are in a synchronously rotating state, in some embodiments, the number of the limiting portions 111 can be set to be less than the number of the air guide doors 200. For example, the number of the limiting portions 111 is one; for another example, the number of the limiting portions 111 is half of the number of the air guide doors 200, etc.
[0050] In this embodiment, a receiving chamber 112 is provided on one side of the base 110 away from the air outlet 121, and the first driving member 132, the second driving member 133 and the connecting member 134 are all provided in the receiving chamber 112. The receiving chamber 112 is used to accommodate the crank connecting rod structure, so that the driving process can be kept smooth and the air guide door 200 can be ensured to rotate smoothly.
[0051] The accommodating chamber 112 is not only used to accommodate the crank-connecting rod structure, but also can ensure that the first driving member 132, the second driving member 133 and the connecting member 134 have sufficient space to move, ensuring that the movement of the crank-connecting rod structure is not hindered and ensuring the smooth driving process of the air guide door 200.
[0052] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the first driving member 132 and the second driving member 133 are both disposed between the connecting member 134 and the base 110. The first driving member 132 and the second driving member 133 are both disposed between the connecting member 134 and the base 110, so that the space occupied by the crank connecting rod structure can be reduced. On the other hand, since the first driving member 132 and the second driving member 133 are located on the same side of the connecting member 134, the connecting member 134 can be uniformly stressed, and the situation that the connecting member 134 is twisted and the driving is blocked can be prevented.
[0053] In order to facilitate the assembly of the second driving member 133 and the air guide door 200, optionally, a through hole is provided on the base 110, and the driving assembly 130 further includes a fixing pin, which is rotatably assembled in the through hole; the second driving member 133 is connected to one end of the fixing pin, and the air guide door 200 is assembled to the other end of the fixing pin. When the connecting member 134 drives the second driving member 133 to rotate, the second driving member 133 drives the air guide door 200 to rotate through the fixing pin.
[0054] In this embodiment, the air outlet structure 11 further includes a fixing seat, which is fixedly connected to the base 110, and the driving device 131 is fixed on the fixing seat; the first driving member 132, the second driving member 133 and the connecting member 134 are all arranged between the base 110 and the fixing seat. The driving device 131 is arranged on the fixing seat, and the fixing seat can provide a bearing and stabilizing effect to the driving device 131; and the crank connecting rod structure is arranged between the fixing seat and the base 110, and the fixing seat can provide a protective effect to the crank connecting rod structure.
[0055] In summary, in the air conditioner 10 and the air outlet structure 11 provided in the present embodiment, when the air guide door 200 closes the air outlet 121, the positioning and limiting of the air guide door 200 can be achieved through the limiting portion 111. On the one hand, it can ensure that the air guide door 200 rotates to the specified position to tightly close the air outlet 121 to avoid the formation of gaps; on the other hand, the limiting portion 111 can also be used to support the air guide door 200 to prevent the air guide door 200 from being sunken and causing gaps, and to prevent the air guide door 200 from being pressed inward by external force and causing damage. Based on this, through the setting of the limiting portion 111, the technical problems of the air guide door 200 in the prior art, such as the air leakage caused by the sunken or inability to be tightly closed, which affect the user experience, can be improved. The limiting portions 111 of multiple air guide doors 200 are independently set, and the limiting of each air guide door 200 is independently completed, which can improve the limiting stability of the air guide door 200 and also improve the positioning accuracy of each of the multiple air guide doors 200. In addition, the air guide door 200 is driven by a crank-connecting rod structure to achieve reciprocating rotation of the air guide door 200 in the air outlet 121 .
[0056] Although the utility model is disclosed as above, the utility model is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of the utility model shall be subject to the scope defined by the claims.
