Whether it is used for cooling in hot weather or heating in cold weather, it can help people get a comfortable ambient temperature. However, traditional air conditioners circulate indoor air. In this process, the indoor air becomes turbid due to the lack of fresh air exchange with the outside world, which is not good for human health. For this reason, fresh air air conditioners with fresh air function came into being. Fresh air air conditioners have a fresh air system that can exchange fresh air with the outside world, which can not only adjust the indoor temperature but also ensure the freshness of the indoor air.

[0003] In the air conditioning unit, the fresh air duct and the indoor circulation duct are used in a switchable manner.

[0044] The air conditioner with fresh air function is provided with a fresh air duct and a return air duct. When working, one of these two ducts is opened and the other is closed, and the opening or closing of the duct is controlled by the air inlet switching structure. The air inlet switching structure usually sets a fresh air valve and a return air valve, and controls the two valves separately, which is costly, and the stability of controlling the two valves separately through the electronic control program is poor. In order to solve this problem, the prior art adopts a transmission mechanism to set a fresh air inlet and a return air inlet through the shell of an air valve for switching control, which reduces the cost of the air valve and makes the overall structure more compact; however, the connecting rod transmission method has many moving pairs, complex design, and large cumulative errors.

[0045] To this end, the utility model provides an air inlet switching structure, which realizes the simultaneous control of the rotation of all blades by setting a connecting piece, thereby realizing the coordinated control of the opening and closing of the air inlet, avoiding control failures, and effectively streamlining the structure and reducing costs.

[0046] See also Figure 1-8The utility model provides an air inlet switching structure, including a shell 10, a plurality of blades 20 and a transmission assembly 30. Specifically, the transmission assembly 30 includes a driving member 32 and at least one connecting member 31; the connecting member 31 is slidably connected to the shell 10; at the same time, the driving member 32 is provided with a fixed end 321 and at least one movable end 322, wherein the movable end 322 is transmission-connected to the connecting member 31 to drive the connecting member 31 to slide relative to the shell 10. The air inlet end surface of the shell 10 is provided with at least two air inlets arranged at intervals, each of which is provided with a group of blades 20, and the blades 20 are rotatably connected to the shell 10, so that the blades 20 can rotate relative to the shell 10 to open or close the corresponding air inlet. At the same time, the blades 20 are movably connected to the connecting member 31, and the connecting member 31 drives the blades 20 to rotate relative to the shell 10.

[0047] It is understandable that the active connection between the blade 20 and the connecting member 31 can be a sliding connection using a sliding structure, or a hinged structure, or other active connection structures so that the connecting member 31 can drive the blade 20 to move, thereby opening or closing the air inlet. Preferably, in this embodiment, the blade 20 and the connecting member 31 are connected in a sliding manner, which has a simple structure, high control accuracy, and can effectively reduce costs.

[0048] See also Figure 1-4 Further, in some embodiments, the air inlet end surface of the shell 10 is spaced apart with a fresh air inlet and a return air inlet; correspondingly, the blade 20 includes two groups, namely a first blade 21 and a second blade 22, the first blade 21 is rotatably arranged at the fresh air inlet, and the second blade 22 is rotatably arranged at the return air inlet, when the first blade 21 is parallel to the fresh air inlet plane, the second blade 22 is at a certain angle to the return air inlet plane, at this time the fresh air inlet is closed, and the return air inlet is opened and is at the maximum opening; or, when the second blade 22 is parallel to the return air inlet plane, the first blade 21 is at a certain angle to the fresh air inlet plane, at this time the return air inlet is closed, and the fresh air inlet is opened and is at the maximum opening. It can be understood that, in the working state, the first blade 21 and the second blade 22 move simultaneously. During the movement, the fresh air inlet and the return air inlet are both in the open state, and when the opening of any one of the inlets becomes larger, the opening of the other inlet becomes smaller; when it is necessary to draw in fresh air and return air at the same time, the displacement distance of the connecting member 31 can be controlled by the driving member 32 to achieve the ratio of the fresh air volume to the return air volume, which is not elaborated here.

[0049] See also Figure 1-3 , Figure 7 and Figure 8Further, in some embodiments, the connecting member 31 is slidably connected to the side wall of the housing 10, and the connecting member 31 is provided with a gear segment 316 along its sliding direction. The fixed end 321 of the driving member 32 is fixed to the housing 10, and the movable end 322 thereof is provided with a transmission gear, which meshes with the gear segment 316 to drive the connecting member 31 to slide relative to the housing 10.

[0050] It should be noted that the connecting member 31 is driven to move by the movable end 322 of the driving member 32. A transmission gear may be set at the movable end 322 to drive one connecting member 31, or two transmission gears may be set at intervals on the same movable end 322 to drive two connecting members 31 respectively, or two movable ends 322 may be set to drive two connecting members 31 respectively, but the present invention is not limited to this.

[0051] Preferably, the connector 31 is provided with a notch 315 at the position of the movable end 322, and the gear segment 316 is provided at the notch 315 and is provided parallel to the air inlet end face of the housing 10, and the gear segment 316 is meshed with the transmission gear of the movable end 322. It is understandable that the notch 315 can also be arranged in a staggered manner with the movable end 322, and a gear set is provided between the transmission gear of the movable end 322 and the gear segment 316, and the gear set is meshed with the transmission gear and the gear segment 316 at the same time, so that the movable end 322 drives the connector 31 to move through the gear set, thereby driving the relative movement of the first blade 21 and the second blade 22 relative to the connector 31.

[0052] Further, the connecting member 31 is arranged perpendicular to the rotation axis of the first blade 21 and the second blade 22, and the connecting member 31 is provided with a first slide groove 313 and a second slide groove 314. The first blade 21 is provided with a first sliding portion 211, which is slidably connected to the first slide groove 313; the second blade 22 is provided with a second sliding portion 221, which is slidably connected to the second slide groove 314. In the working state, the movable end 322 directly drives the connecting member 31, or the movable end 322 drives the connecting member 31 to move through the gear set. The movement of the connecting member 31 drives the first sliding portion 211 in the first slide groove 314 to move, and the connecting member 31 drives the second sliding portion 221 in the second slide groove 314 to move at the same time; the first blade 21 is driven to rotate at the fresh air inlet by the first sliding portion 211, and the second blade 22 is driven to rotate at the return air inlet by the second sliding portion 221, so as to realize the opening and closing of the first blade 21 and the second blade 22.

[0053] Preferably, the sliding trajectory of the first sliding part 211 and the sliding trajectory of the second sliding part 221 are symmetrical, thereby ensuring that when the first blade 21 is opened, the second blade 22 is in a closed state, or when the second blade 22 is opened, the first blade 21 is in a closed state, thereby realizing the switching of fresh air and return air.

[0054] Furthermore, the housing 10 includes a first housing 11 and a second housing 12, which are arranged to form an accommodation space for accommodating a plurality of blades 20 and a transmission assembly 30. The first housing 11 is slidably connected to the second housing 12, so that the housing 10 can be easily disassembled and assembled, and subsequent maintenance is convenient.

[0055] Preferably, the second shell 12 is provided with a accommodating groove, and its side wall is provided with a sliding groove 123 along the length direction. The two end portions in the length direction of the first shell 11 are slidably connected to the sliding groove 123, so that the first shell 11 and the second shell 12 are slidably connected. When the blade 20 or the transmission assembly 30 needs to be repaired, it is only necessary to pull the first shell 11 out of the second shell 12, which is convenient for maintenance and has low maintenance costs.

[0056] Further, in some embodiments, the first housing 11 is provided with a first fresh air inlet 111 and a first return air inlet 112 at intervals, and the air inlet end face of the first fresh air inlet 111 is fixedly connected to the fresh air duct interface 113, so as to facilitate the installation and connection with the fresh air duct. The second housing 12 is provided with a second fresh air inlet 121 and a second return air inlet 122 at intervals, the first fresh air inlet 111 and the second fresh air inlet 121 are arranged opposite to each other, and the first blade 21 is arranged between the first fresh air inlet 111 and the second fresh air inlet 121; the first return air inlet 112 and the second return air inlet 122 are arranged opposite to each other, and the second blade 22 is arranged between the first return air inlet 112 and the second return air inlet 122.

[0057] Further, the connecting member 31 is arranged close to the side wall of the second shell 12, and the connecting member 31 is slidably arranged between the first shell 11 and the second shell 12, and can slide up and down relative to the first shell 11 and the second shell 12. It can be understood that the connecting member 31 can also be arranged to be slidably connected to the first shell 11 at one end and slidably connected to the second shell 12 at the other end; the connecting member 31 can also be arranged to be slidably connected to the side wall of the second shell 12 only, which is not limited here.

[0058] See also Figure 4 Further, in some embodiments, the first housing 11 is provided with at least one windshield, which is fixed to the leeward side of the first housing 11 and disposed between the first fresh air inlet 111 and the first return air inlet 112, and is used to separate the fresh air flow and the return air flow, so as to prevent the fresh air flow and the return air flow from flowing in series inside the housing 10 and affecting the air flow velocity. Preferably, the windshield is also abutted against the second housing 12, and is located between the second fresh air inlet 121 and the second return air inlet 122, so as to separate the housing 10 into adjacent fresh air chambers and return air chambers.

[0059] Preferably, there are two windshields, namely, a first windshield 114 and a second windshield 115 which are arranged at intervals. The driving member 32 is fixedly arranged between the first windshield 114 and the second windshield 115, and the fixed end 321 of the driving member 32 is fixedly connected to the first housing 11. Furthermore, a plurality of elastic buckles 117 are arranged at intervals at the part of the first housing 11 between the first windshield 114 and the second windshield 115, for supporting the movable end 322; and the movable end 322 is rotatably engaged in the elastic buckle 117.

[0060] Furthermore, a windshield bottom plate 116 is also disposed at the bottom of the first shell 11 , and the windshield bottom plate 116 is used to block the airflow to prevent the airflow from overflowing through the bottom of the shell 10 .

[0061] See also Figure 5-7 , further, in some embodiments, the first blade 21 and the second blade 22 include a plurality of identical swing blades 40. Preferably, the swing blade 40 is provided with a rotating portion 41, a guide portion 42 and an abutment portion 43. In some embodiments, the two ends of the rotating portion 41 are provided with protruding rotating shafts 411, and as a match, the two side edges in the length direction of the leeward side of the first shell 11 are provided with a plurality of mounting grooves 13, and the rotating shafts 411 are inserted into the mounting grooves 13 of the first shell 11, so that the swing blade 40 can be rotated relative to the first shell 11 to realize the opening and closing of the corresponding air inlet. It can be understood that in other embodiments, the two ends of the rotating portion 41 are provided with pin holes, and the shaft pin of the first shell 11 is rotatably inserted into the pin holes, so as to realize the rotation of the swing blade 40 relative to the first shell 11.

[0062] Furthermore, the air guide portion 42 is tilted, one end of which is connected to the rotating portion 41, and the other end is connected to the abutting portion 43; thus, the swing blade 40 is like a bionic bird wing, and has a certain air guide effect. When the fresh air inlet or the return air inlet is closed, the abutting portion 43 abuts against the rotating portion 42 of the adjacent swing blade 40, so that there is no gap between the swing blades 40, and complete sealing is achieved.

[0063] It can be understood that the shapes of the first sliding part 211 and the second sliding part 221 can be set to be the same or different. They can be set at both ends of the guide part 42, or at both ends of the abutment part 43, or at both ends of the guide part 42 and the abutment part 43.

[0064] Specifically, in this embodiment, the first sliding part 211 includes an adapter plate 2111 and a slider 2112, one end of the adapter plate 2111 is fixed to the end of the guide part 42 and / or the abutment part 43, and the other end of the adapter plate 2111 is connected to the slider 2112, and the slider 2112 is slidably inserted in the first slide groove 314, and can slide relative to the first slide groove 314 to drive the swing of the swing blade 40. Preferably, the adapter plate 2111 is set to a triangle, wherein one edge is fixed to the end of the guide part 42 and the abutment part 43, and the slider 2112 is fixed at the top corner of the adapter plate 2111 opposite to the edge. In this way, the fixing area of ​​the first sliding part 211 and the swing blade 40 is increased, which can effectively increase the stability of the first sliding part 211 and prevent the first sliding part 211 from falling off the swing blade 40. The first sliding part 211 and the second sliding part 221 have the same shape, which will not be described in detail here.

[0067] An embodiment of the present application also provides an air conditioner, including an air inlet switching structure.

[0068] Compared with the prior art, the air inlet switching structure described in the utility model has the following beneficial effects:
