[0026] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and beneficial effects of the utility model more clear, the technical solution of the utility model is further described below in conjunction with the drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described here are only used to explain the utility model and are not used to limit the utility model.

[0027] See also Figures 1 to 5 The utility model provides a locking structure of an air guide plate, comprising:

[0028] The wind deflector 1 is formed with a first end and a second end which are arranged opposite to each other;

[0029] Two mounting seats 2 are respectively arranged at the first end and the second end of the air guide plate 1, each of the mounting seats 2 is provided with a mounting opening 3 along the up-down direction, and the mounting opening 3 is configured as a first limiting point arranged along the front-back direction and a second limiting point arranged along the left-right direction;

[0030] The two locking members 4 can be detachably extended into each of the installation openings 3 to abut against or separate from the first limiting point and the second limiting point.

[0031] The two ends of the air guide plate 1 are installed at the air outlet of the air conditioner through the installation opening 3, and the air guide plate 1 is limited by the first limit point and the second limit point. When installing the conventional air guide plate 1, it is necessary to first install the air guide plate 1 at one end to one side of the air conditioner, then bend and deform the air guide plate 1, and then install the other end of the air guide plate 1 on the air conditioner. Such an installation method may cause damage to the air guide plate 1. In the present embodiment, it is only necessary to press the two ends of the air guide plate 1 into the installation opening 3 along the upper and lower directions respectively, so that the air guide plate 1 can be quickly installed without deformation during installation. The installation structure is simple and the assembly efficiency is high. The two mounting seats 2 are each provided with a locking piece 4, which is used to extend into the mounting opening 3 and respectively abut against the first limit point and the second limit point, so as to limit the air guide plate 1 in the left and right directions and the front and rear directions, thereby improving its stability during installation; during assembly, the two locking pieces 4 located at the first end and the second end of the air guide plate 1 are simultaneously extended into the corresponding mounting opening 3, and respectively abut against the corresponding first limit point and the second limit point, so that the air guide plate 1 can be quickly installed as a whole at the air outlet of the air conditioner. In order to rotate the air guide plate 1, the air guide plate 1 is driven by a motor, and the motor shaft 8 of the motor is arranged between the two mounting seats 2. While rotating the air guide plate 1, the motor shaft 8 can also abut against the left and right side surfaces of the two locking pieces 4 (the first end is the left side, and the second end is the right side). When used in conjunction with the first limit point and the second limit point, the locking piece 4 can be limited in the mounting opening 3 to avoid radial displacement of the air guide plate 1.

[0032] The first limiting point is a limiting groove 301 formed in the installation opening 3 , and the locking member 4 is provided with a sliding platform 401 matched with the limiting groove 301 .

[0033] In this embodiment, a limiting groove 301 is formed in the installation opening 3, and the locking member 4 is provided with a sliding platform 401 which cooperates with the limiting groove 301. When the locking member 4 extends into the installation opening 3 through the installation opening 3, the sliding platform 401 slides forward or backward along the limiting groove 301 to misalign the locking member 4 with the installation opening 3 to prevent the locking member 4 from detaching from the installation opening 3. The right end of the locking member 4 is connected to the motor shaft 8 (taking the locking member 4 on the left side as an example), and the locking member 4 is abutted against the limiting groove 301 to limit the locking member 4 in the installation opening 3.

[0034] The second limiting point is a stop plate 302 extending into the installation opening 3 .

[0035] In this embodiment, a stop plate 302 is provided in the installation opening 3. After the locking member 4 is pushed to the left along the limiting groove 301, the stop plate 302 presses against the left side of the locking member 4, and the right side of the locking member 4 is assembled with the motor shaft 8, and the air guide plate 1 can be installed.

[0036] The mounting seat 2 is provided with a limiting plate 201 for contacting or separating with the stop plate 302 .

[0037] In this embodiment, a limit plate 201 is provided on the mounting seat 2, and the limit plate 201 is used to abut against the stop plate 302. After the right side of the locking member 4 is boxed with the motor shaft 8, the locking member 4 is limited in the limit groove 301 to prevent it from detaching from the mounting opening 3.

[0038] The opposing surfaces of the stop plate 302 and the limiting plate 201 are respectively provided with a first contact surface 303 and a second contact surface 202 , and the first contact surface 303 and the second contact surface 202 are both arranged in the up-down direction.

[0039] In this embodiment, the opposing surfaces of the stop plate 302 and the limit plate 201 are respectively provided with a first contact surface 303 and a second contact surface 202 arranged in the up and down directions, and the cross-sections of the first contact surface 303 and the second contact surface 202 are rectangular. When the first contact surface 303 and the second contact surface 202 abut against each other, the continued displacement of the locking member 4 can be limited, and the stability of the installation of the air guide plate 1 is improved by cooperating and limiting with the motor shaft 8.

[0040] The retaining plate 302 is made of elastic material.

[0041] In this embodiment, in order to facilitate the installation between the motor shaft 8 and the locking member 4, the stop plate 302 is provided with an elastic or plastic material. When the locking member 4 and the motor shaft 8 are installed, the locking member 4 is pushed to the left and the stop plate 302 is deformed so that an installation gap is formed in the mounting seat 2 for the locking member 4, so that the motor shaft 8 can be smoothly rotated and abutted against the right side of the locking member 4.

[0042] The mounting seat 2 is provided with an opening 5 communicating with the mounting opening 3 . The opening 5 is arranged along the left-right direction and is located above the stop plate 302 .

[0043] In this embodiment, an opening 5 connected to the mounting port 3 is provided on the mounting seat 2. The opening 5 is arranged in the left-right direction and is located above the stop plate 302. When the air guide plate 1 needs to be removed, it is only necessary to use external force to reach into the mounting port 3 from the opening 5 and press down the stop plate 302. The stop plate 302 elastically deforms and gives way. When the locking member 4 is pushed to the left to be parallel to the mounting port 3, and the right side of the locking member 4 is separated from the motor shaft 8, the locking member 4 can be taken out from the mounting port 3 to complete the disassembly.

[0044] The locking member 4 is provided with a drive connection hole 6 for mounting a motor shaft 8 .

[0045] In this embodiment, a drive connection hole 6 is provided on the right side of the locking member 4 , and the drive connection hole 6 is used to be rotatably connected to the motor shaft 8 , so as to drive and limit the air guide plate 1 .

[0046] A sliding groove 7 is provided in the left-right direction along the inner edge of the installation opening 3 . The sliding groove 7 is communicated with the limiting groove 301 and slidably cooperates with the sliding platform 401 .

[0047] In this embodiment, a sliding groove 7 is provided in the installation opening 3 along the left and right directions, and the sliding groove 7 is connected with the limit groove 301. When the drive connecting hole 6 and the motor shaft 8 are installed, the locking member 4 is pushed to the left and the stop plate 302 is deformed to reserve an assembly position so that the drive connecting hole 6 and the motor shaft 8 can be aligned. After the drive connecting hole 6 and the motor shaft 8 are aligned, the locking member 4 slides to the right in the sliding groove 7 through the sliding table 401, so that the drive connecting hole 6 (the right side of the locking member 4) is tightly matched with the end of the motor shaft 8, and the left side of the locking member 4 is limited by the stop plate 302, so that the locking member 4 can be limited in the installation opening 3.

[0048] The present embodiment further proposes an air conditioner, which includes the locking structure of the air guide plate described above. The specific structure of the air conditioner refers to the above embodiment. Since the present air conditioner adopts all the technical solutions of the above embodiment, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought by the technical solutions of the above embodiment, which will not be described one by one here.

[0049] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the utility model rather than to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, ordinary technicians in the field should understand that the technical solution of the utility model can be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the purpose and scope of the technical solution of the utility model, which should be included in the scope of the claims of the utility model.
