For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0055] The shutter assembly 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0056] like Figure 1-Figure 16 As shown, the shutter assembly 10 according to the embodiment of the utility model includes a supporting shutter 1 and a folding shutter 2.

[0057] like Figure 1-Figure 16 As shown, the louver assembly 10 is used for the air conditioner 100, and the air conditioner 100 includes a shell 20, the shell 20 has an air outlet duct 201 and an air outlet 202 connected to the air outlet duct 201, and the louver assembly 10 is arranged at one end of the air outlet duct 201 close to the air outlet 202 and includes: a supporting louver 1 has a first end 13 and a second end 14 relative to each other, the first end 13 has a rotating shaft 11, and the rotating shaft 11 is rotatably arranged on the shell 20; one end of the folding louver 2 is connected to the second end 14.

[0058] It should be noted that, Figure 1-Figure 4As shown, the air conditioner 100 further includes an air inlet grille 40, a heat exchanger 30, a wind wheel 60 and a switch door 50. The air conditioner 100 has a front side and a rear side, the air inlet grille 40 is located at the rear side of the air conditioner 100, and the air outlet 202 is located at the front side of the air conditioner 100. The air inlet grille 40 is used for air intake of the air conditioner 100, and the air outlet 202 is used for air outlet; the wind wheel 60 is located in the air outlet duct 201, and is used to drive the flow of air flow; the heat exchanger 30 is arranged between the air inlet grille 40 and the wind wheel 60, and is used to perform heat exchange with air; the switch door 50 is movably arranged at the air outlet 202 (for example, in the present utility model, the air conditioner 100 is a vertical air conditioner, and the switch door 50 is movable along the width direction of the air outlet 202), and is used to close or open the air outlet 202. When the switch door 50 opens the air outlet 202, the shutter assembly 10 can realize air guidance at the air outlet 202. Thus, through the operation of the wind wheel 60 , the airflow can flow from the air inlet grille 40 to the heat exchanger 30 for heat exchange, and then flow to the air outlet duct 201 , and through the wind guiding effect of the louver assembly 10 , the airflow can flow out from the air outlet 202 .

[0059] It can be understood that, by rotatably setting the rotating shaft 11 on the housing 20, the supporting louver 1 can rotate 360 ​​degrees around the axis of the rotating shaft 11, driving the folding louver 2 to rotate 360 ​​degrees around the axis of the rotating shaft 11, thereby realizing the change of wind direction. At the same time, since the supporting louver 1 can drive the folding louver 2 to rotate 360 ​​degrees around the axis of the rotating shaft 11, the angle range of the air conditioner 100 that can be discharged is increased to meet the different needs of users. Furthermore, by setting the louver assembly 10, there is no need to set an additional air guide plate to guide the air, thereby simplifying the air guide structure of the air conditioner 100, reducing the wind resistance at the air outlet 202, making the air flow smoother, and improving the air outlet effect.

[0060] Among them, for example Figure 1-Figure 5 In the example shown, the air conditioner 100 is a vertical air conditioner, the length direction of the air outlet 202 is the up-down direction, the width direction of the air outlet 202 is the left-right direction, and the axis of the rotating shaft 11 extends along the front-back direction.

[0061] Furthermore, if Figure 5-Figure 14As shown, one end of the folding shutter 2 is rotatably connected to the second end 14, and the rotation axis of the folding shutter 2 and the supporting shutter 1 is perpendicular to the rotation axis of the supporting shutter 1 and the housing 20. Among them, the folding shutter 2 has a connecting shaft 24 on one end facing the second end 14, and the first end 13 of the supporting shutter 1 has a connecting rotation hole 12, and the connecting shaft 24 is rotatably arranged in the connecting rotation hole 12, so as to realize the rotation connection between one end of the folding shutter 2 and the second end 14. The axis of the connecting shaft 24 and the connecting rotation hole 12 is perpendicular to the rotation axis of the supporting shutter 1 and the housing 20 (the axis of the rotating shaft 11), that is, the axis of the connecting shaft 24 and the connecting rotation hole 12 is the rotation axis of the folding shutter 2 and the supporting shutter 1. In this way, the folding shutter 2 can be folded relative to the supporting shutter 1, so that some structures at the air outlet 202 such as the switch door 50 can be avoided, so that the folding shutter 2 and the supporting shutter 1 are more flexible in guiding the air at the air outlet 202.

[0062] Furthermore, if Figure 12-14 As shown, the connecting rotating holes 12 are multiple and spaced apart along the length direction of the rotating axis of the folding louver 2 and the supporting louver 1, and the connecting rotating shafts 24 are multiple and one-to-one corresponding, so that the rotation between the folding louver 2 and the supporting louver 1 is more stable and reliable. Figure 12-14 In the example shown, there are two connecting holes 12 and two connecting shafts 24, but the present invention is not limited thereto. There may be more connecting holes 12 and more connecting shafts 24, such as 3, 4, 5 or 6.

[0063] According to the shutter assembly 10 of the embodiment of the utility model, the first end 13 of the supporting shutter 1 has a rotating shaft 11, and the rotating shaft 11 is rotatably arranged on the housing 20, one end of the folding shutter 2 is rotatably connected to the second end 14, and the rotating axis of the folding shutter 2 and the supporting shutter 1 is perpendicular to the rotating axis of the supporting shutter 1 and the housing 20. The supporting shutter 1 and the folding shutter 2 can rotate 360 ​​degrees around the axis of the rotating shaft 11, thereby improving the angle range of the air outlet of the air conditioner 100 and meeting the different needs of users. And there is no need to set up an additional air guide plate to guide the air, thereby simplifying the air guide structure of the air conditioner 100, reducing the wind resistance at the air outlet 202, making the air flow smoother, and improving the air outlet effect.

[0064] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the rotation axis of the supporting shutter 1 and the shell 20 is perpendicular to the width direction and the length direction of the air outlet 202 , and the folding shutter 2 is in the unfolded state, and at least part of the folding shutter 2 is located outside the air outlet 202 .

[0065] It can be understood that the folding shutter 2 is in the unfolded state, at which time, the air outlet 202 is opened, and the air conditioner 100 discharges air. By the folding shutter 2 being in the unfolded state, for example, in the present invention, the angle between the folding shutter 2 and the supporting shutter 1 is 180 degrees, so that the air flow guiding area of ​​the folding shutter 2 and the supporting shutter 1 is maximized, thereby improving the air guiding effect.

[0066] When the folding shutter 2 is in the unfolded state, at least a portion of the folding shutter 2 is located outside the air outlet 202, further achieving the goal of guiding the airflow out of the air outlet 202, thereby further improving the wind guiding effect. At the same time, at least a portion of the folding shutter 2 is located outside the air outlet 202, that is, the folding shutter 2 needs to have a sufficient dimension in the front-to-back direction (in the unfolded state), thereby further increasing the wind guiding area and improving the wind guiding effect.

[0067] Furthermore, if Figure 2 and Fig.10 As shown, the folding shutter 2 is in the folded state, and the folding shutter 2 is located inside the air outlet 202. The folding shutter 2 is in the folded state, at this time, the air outlet 202 is closed, and the air conditioner 100 stops blowing air. Therefore, by folding the folding shutter 2 relative to the supporting shutter 1, it is possible to avoid collision and interference between the opening and closing door 50 and the folding shutter 2 when closing the air outlet 202, so that the opening and closing door 50 can smoothly close the air outlet 202.

[0068] Thus, when the folding shutter 2 is in the unfolded state, at least part of the folding shutter 2 is located outside the air outlet 202; when the folding shutter 2 is in the folded state, the folding shutter 2 is located inside the air outlet 202. This not only makes the folding shutter 2 have a sufficient air guide area and improves the air guide effect, but also prevents the switch door 50 from colliding with and interfering with the folding shutter 2 when closing the air outlet 202, so that the switch door 50 can smoothly close the air outlet 202.

[0069] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Fig.12 and Fig.13 As shown, the folding shutter 2 includes: a first shutter 21, one end of the first shutter 21 is rotatably connected to the second end 14 of the supporting shutter 1, and the first shutter 21 and the supporting shutter 1 can be flush or at an angle to each other. It can be understood that by rotatably connecting one end of the first shutter 21 to the second end 14 of the supporting shutter 1, the folding shutter 2 is rotatably connected to the second end 14 of the supporting shutter 1, so that the folding shutter 2 can be folded relative to the supporting shutter 1, avoiding collision and interference between the switch door 50 and the folding shutter 2 when closing the air outlet 202, so that the switch door 50 can smoothly close the air outlet 202.

[0070] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Fig.12 and Fig.13 As shown, the folding louver 2 further includes: a second louver 22 , which is located at one side of the first louver 21 in the thickness direction and is arranged at an interval, and a connecting plate 23 is connected between the second louver 22 and the first louver 21 .

[0071] It is understandable that the connecting plate 23 can connect the first louver 21 and the second louver 22 to each other, so that the second louver 22 can move with the movement of the first louver 21. At the same time, the arrangement of the first louver 21, the second louver 22 and the connecting plate 23 allows the airflow to not only flow out of the air outlet 202 along the side of the first louver 21 and the second louver 22 away from each other, but also flow out from the gaps between the first louver 21, the second louver 22 and the connecting plate 23. When the airflow flows out from the gaps between the first louver 21, the second louver 22 and the connecting plate 23, the first louver 21, the second louver 22 and the connecting plate 23 can better guide the airflow, thereby reducing the possibility of the airflow flowing out from any direction, and further improving the wind guiding effect.

[0072] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Fig.12 and Fig.13 As shown, the first louver 21 and the supporting louver 1 are in a flush state, and the end of the second louver 22 that is away from the supporting louver 1 exceeds the first louver 21; thereby, the wind guide area of ​​the second louver 22 is increased, thereby further improving the wind guide effect.

[0073] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Fig.12 and Fig.13 As shown, one end of the second louver 22 close to the supporting louver 1 exceeds the first louver 21. Thus, the wind guide area of ​​the second louver 22 is increased, thereby further improving the wind guide effect.

[0074] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 5-Figure 11 As shown, the shutter assembly 10 further includes: a first driving assembly 3, which is arranged on the housing 20 and is used to drive the support shutter 1 to rotate. Thus, the rotation of the support shutter 1 is realized, so that the support shutter 1 can drive the folding shutter 2 to rotate 360 ​​degrees around the axis of the rotating shaft 11, thereby increasing the angle range of the air outlet of the air conditioner 100 and meeting the different needs of users.

[0075] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 5-Figure 11As shown, the first driving assembly 3 includes: a first motor 31, a first gear 33, a first rack 32 and a second gear 34. The first motor 31 is disposed on the housing 20; the first gear 33 is connected to the output shaft of the first motor 31; the first rack 32 is meshed with the first gear 33 and extends along the length direction of the air outlet 202; and the second gear 34 is connected to the rotating shaft 11.

[0076] It can be understood that the output shaft of the first motor 31 drives the first gear 33 to rotate, the first gear 33 is rotatable relative to the housing 20 but is stationary relative to the housing 20 along the length direction of the air outlet 202, and the first rack 32 is movable along the length direction of the air outlet 202, the first rack 32 and the first gear 33 are meshed so that the rotation of the first gear 33 can drive the first rack 32 to move along the length direction of the air outlet 202. The second gear 34 is rotatable relative to the housing 20 but is stationary relative to the housing 20 along the length direction of the air outlet 202, and is meshed with the first rack 32, so that the first rack 32 can drive the rotation of the second gear 34, the rotating shaft 11 is disposed in the second gear 34, and is connected to the second gear 34, so that the second gear 34 can drive the rotating shaft to rotate.

[0077] Therefore, the output shaft of the first motor 31 drives the first gear 33 to rotate, thereby driving the first rack 32 to move along the length direction of the air outlet 202, thereby driving the second gear 34 to rotate, thereby driving the rotating shaft 11 to rotate, thereby driving the supporting louver 1 and the folding louver 2 to rotate around the axis of the rotating shaft 11, thereby increasing the angle range of air outlet of the air conditioner 100 to meet the different needs of users.

[0078] Furthermore, if Figure 5-Figure 11 As shown, the shutter assembly 10 also includes: a driving shell 5, the driving shell 5 is arranged in the housing 20 and fixedly connected to the housing 20, the driving shell 5 includes a first shell 51 and a second shell 52, the first motor 31 is arranged on the first shell 51, the first shell 51 has a first installation cavity, the first gear 33 is arranged in the first installation cavity, the driving shaft of the first motor 31 is passed through the first shell 51, and is connected to the first gear 33. The second shell 52 is arranged on one side of the first shell 51 along the length direction of the air outlet 202 and is connected to the first shell 51, the second shell 52 has a second installation cavity, the first installation cavity and the second installation cavity are connected, the second gear 34 is arranged in the second installation cavity, and a part of the first rack 32 is arranged in the first installation cavity to be suitable for meshing with the first gear 33, and the other part is arranged in the second installation cavity to be suitable for meshing with the second gear 34.

[0079] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 5-Figure 11As shown, the shutter assembly 10 further includes: a second driving assembly 4, which is disposed on the housing 20 and is used to drive the folding shutter 2 to rotate relative to the supporting shutter 1. Thus, the folding shutter 2 can be folded relative to the supporting shutter 1, thereby preventing the switch door 50 from colliding with and interfering with the folding shutter 2 when closing the air outlet 202, so that the switch door 50 can smoothly close the air outlet 202.

[0080] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 5-Figure 11 and Figure 15-16 As shown, the second driving assembly 4 includes: a second motor 45, a first push rod 41 and a second push rod 42, one end of the first push rod 41 is rotatably connected to the folding shutter 2 and is located on one side of the thickness direction of the supporting shutter 1; the second push rod 42 is movable along the arrangement direction of the supporting shutter 1 and the folding shutter 2, and one end is rotatably connected to the end of the first push rod 41 away from the folding shutter 2; the second motor 45 is used to drive the second push rod 42 to move.

[0081] It can be understood that the second motor 45 drives the second push rod 42 to move, and the second push rod 42 moves along the arrangement direction of the supporting shutter 1 and the folding shutter 2, thereby driving the first push rod 41 to rotate, thereby driving the folding shutter 2 to rotate, thereby realizing the folding of the folding shutter 2 relative to the supporting shutter 1, thereby avoiding the opening and closing door 50 from colliding with and interfering with the folding shutter 2 when closing the air outlet 202, so that the opening and closing door 50 can smoothly close the air outlet 202.

[0082] Furthermore, if Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the rotation axis of the supporting shutter 1 and the housing 20 is perpendicular to the width direction and the length direction of the air outlet 202. When the folding shutter 2 is in the unfolded state, at least part of the folding shutter 2 is located outside the air outlet 202. Figure 2 and Fig.10 As shown, the folding shutter 2 is in a folded state, and the folding shutter 2 is located inside the air outlet 202 .

[0083] For example, in the present invention, when the second push rod 42 moves from the supporting shutter 1 to the folding shutter 2, the folding shutter 2 changes from the unfolded state to the folded state, thereby realizing the folding of the folding shutter 2, avoiding the collision and interference between the switch door 50 and the folding shutter 2 when closing the air outlet 202, so that the switch door 50 can smoothly close the air outlet 202. When the second push rod 42 moves from the folding shutter 2 to the supporting shutter 1, the folding shutter 2 changes from the folded state to the unfolded state, thereby realizing the unfolding of the folding shutter 2, thereby facilitating the wind guide and improving the wind guide effect.

[0084] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 5-Figure 11 and Fig.16As shown, the second push rod 42 includes: a first rod 421 and a second rod 422. The first rod 421 is inserted into the rotating shaft 11 along the axial direction of the rotating shaft 11. The second motor 45 is fixed on the shell 20 to drive the first rod 421 to move. The second rod 422 is located on one side of the thickness direction of the supporting shutter 1 and one end is fixedly connected to the first rod 421, and the other end is rotatably connected to the first push rod 41.

[0085] It can be understood that the second motor 45 is used to drive the first rod 421 to move, and the first rod 421 is used to transfer the thrust to the second rod 422, so that the second rod 422 can push the second push rod 42 to move along the arrangement direction of the supporting shutter 1 and the folding shutter 2, thereby driving the first push rod 41 to rotate, thereby driving the folding shutter 2 to rotate, thereby realizing the folding of the folding shutter 2 relative to the supporting shutter 1, thereby avoiding the opening and closing door 50 from colliding and interfering with the folding shutter 2 when closing the air outlet 202, so that the opening and closing door 50 can smoothly close the air outlet 202.

[0086] In addition, the first rod 421 is inserted into the rotating shaft 11 along the axis direction of the rotating shaft 11, thereby avoiding installation interference between the first rod 421 and the supporting louver 1. At the same time, the first rod 421 is rotatable with the rotating shaft 11, thereby avoiding the first rod 421 from rotating as the rotating shaft 11 rotates.

[0087] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 5-Figure 11 and Fig.16 As shown, the second driving assembly 4 also includes: a first pull rod 43, the first pull rod 43 extends along the length direction of the air outlet 202, a sliding rod 431 is provided on the first pull rod 43, the length direction of the sliding rod 431 forms an acute angle with the moving direction of the second push rod 42, and the end of the second push rod 42 facing away from the first push rod 41 has a sliding groove 423 that cooperates with the sliding rod 431, and the second motor 45 is used to drive the first pull rod 43 to move along the length direction of the air outlet 202 and drive the second push rod 42 to move along the length direction of the sliding rod 431.

[0088] It can be understood that, through the mutual cooperation between the slide groove 423 and the slide rod 431, since the length direction of the slide rod 431 forms an acute angle with the moving direction of the second push rod 42, the movement of the first pull rod 43 along the length direction of the air outlet 202 can be converted into the movement of the second push rod 42 along the length direction of the slide rod 431, and thus converted into the movement of the second push rod 42 in the arrangement direction of the supporting shutter 1 and the folding shutter 2, thereby realizing the second push rod 42 pushing the first push rod 41 to rotate, thereby realizing the rotation of the folding shutter 2 relative to the supporting shutter 1.

[0089] Below Figure 5-Figure 11 and Fig.16 The example shown is used to describe the process of the first pull rod 43 driving the second push rod 42:

[0090] For example, Figure 5-Figure 11 and Fig.16 In the example shown, the length direction of the air outlet 202 is the up and down direction, the arrangement direction of the supporting louver 1 and the folding louver 2 is the front and back direction, and the folding louver 2 is located on the front side of the supporting louver 1. Along the front to back direction, the slide groove 423 and the slide rod 431 both extend downwardly.

[0091] When the first pull rod 43 moves downward, it drives the sliding rod 431 downward, thereby driving the second push rod 42 to move forward, thereby driving the folding shutter 2 from the unfolded state to the folded state; when the first pull rod 43 moves upward, it drives the sliding rod 431 upward, thereby driving the second push rod 42 to move backward, thereby driving the folding shutter 2 from the folded state to the unfolded state.

[0092] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 5-Figure 11 As shown, the first pull rod 43 is provided with a second rack 46 extending along the length direction of the first pull rod 43 , and the second driving assembly 4 also includes: a third gear 44 , which is connected to the output shaft of the second motor 45 and meshes with the second rack 46 .

[0093] It can be understood that the third gear 44 is connected to the output shaft of the second motor 45 and meshes with the second rack 46, so that the output shaft of the second motor 45 can drive the third gear 44 to rotate, and the third gear 44 can drive the second rack 46 to move in the length direction of the air outlet 202, drive the first pull rod 43 to move in the length direction of the air outlet 202, drive the slide rod 431 to move in the length direction of the air outlet 202, thereby driving the second push rod 42 to move along the length direction of the slide rod 431, thereby realizing that the second push rod 42 pushes the first push rod 41 to rotate, thereby realizing the rotation of the folding shutter 2 relative to the supporting shutter 1.

[0094] Furthermore, if Figure 5-Figure 11As shown, the first driving assembly 3 includes: a first motor 31, a first gear 33, a first rack 32 and a second gear 34. The shutter assembly 10 also includes: a driving shell 5, the driving shell 5 is arranged in the housing 20 and is fixedly connected to the housing 20, the driving shell 5 includes a first shell 51 and a second shell 52, the second motor 45 is arranged on the first shell 51, and the first motor 31 and the second motor 45 are respectively arranged on opposite sides of the first shell 51 along the arrangement direction of the supporting shutter 1 and the folding shutter 2, so as to avoid working interference between the first motor 31 and the second motor 45. The first shell 51 has a first installation cavity, and the first installation cavity has a first partition 53 to divide the first installation cavity into a first cavity and a second cavity, and the first cavity and the second cavity are spaced apart in the arrangement direction of the supporting shutter 1 and the folding shutter 2, the first gear 33 is in the first cavity, and the third gear 44 is in the second cavity, so as to avoid working interference between the first gear 33 and the third gear 44.

[0095] Furthermore, if Figure 5-Figure 11 As shown, the second shell 52 has a second installation cavity, and the second installation cavity has a second partition 54 to divide the second installation cavity into a third cavity and a fourth cavity separated along the arrangement direction of the supporting louver 1 and the folding louver 2. In the length direction of the air outlet 202, the first partition 53 and the second partition 54 are correspondingly arranged, the first cavity and the third cavity are correspondingly arranged and interconnected, the second cavity and the fourth cavity are correspondingly arranged and interconnected, part of the first rack 32 is arranged in the first cavity, and the other part is arranged in the third cavity, the part of the first pull rod 43 having the second rack 46 is arranged in the second cavity, and the other part is arranged in the fourth cavity, so as to avoid working interference between the first rack 32 and the first pull rod 43.

[0096] Therefore, by respectively arranging the first partition plate 53 and the second partition plate 54 in the first shell 51 and the second shell 52, working interference between the first drive assembly 3 and the second drive assembly 4 can be avoided, so that the first drive assembly 3 and the second drive assembly 4 can work better and independently.

[0097] Furthermore, if Figure 5-Figure 11 and Fig.16 As shown, the second push rod 42 includes: a first rod 421 and a second rod 422. The first rod 421 is inserted into the rotating shaft 11 along the axial direction of the rotating shaft 11. The second motor 45 is fixedly mounted on the housing 20 to drive the first rod 421 to move. The second rod 422 is located on one side of the thickness direction of the supporting shutter 1 and one end is fixedly connected to the first rod 421, and the other end is rotatably connected to the first push rod 41. The slide groove 423 is provided in the first rod 421, and the first rod 421 is inserted into the second partition plate 54 and the second housing 52, so as to facilitate the connection between the first rod 421 and the second rod 422.

[0098] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1-Figure 11As shown, the supporting louvers 1 are multiple and spaced apart along the length direction of the air outlet 202, and the folding louvers 2 are multiple and correspond to each other. Thus, the supporting louvers 1 and the folding louvers 2 can cover the air outlet 202 in the length direction of the air outlet 202, so that the airflow from the air outlet 202 can be guided by the supporting louvers 1 and the folding louvers 2, thereby improving the air outlet effect.

[0099] For example, Fig.11 In the example shown, there are eight supporting louvers 1 and eight folding louvers 2 , but the present invention is not limited thereto, and the number of supporting louvers 1 and eight folding louvers 2 may be other numbers, such as 2, 4, 10 or 12.

[0102] Specifically, refer to Figure 1-Figure 4 The air conditioner 100 further includes an air inlet grille 40, a heat exchanger 30, a wind wheel 60 and a switch door 50. The air conditioner 100 has a front side and a rear side. The air inlet grille 40 is located at the rear side of the air conditioner 100, and the air outlet 202 is located at the front side of the air conditioner 100. The air inlet grille 40 is used for air intake of the air conditioner 100, and the air outlet 202 is used for air outlet. The wind wheel 60 is located in the air outlet duct 201, and is used to drive the flow of air flow. The heat exchanger 30 is arranged between the air inlet grille 40 and the wind wheel 60, and is used to perform heat exchange with air.

When the switch door 50 opens the air outlet 202, the shutter assembly 10 can realize air guidance at the air outlet 202. Thus, through the operation of the wind wheel 60, the airflow can flow from the air inlet grille 40 to the heat exchanger 30 for heat exchange, and then flow to the air outlet duct 201, and through the wind guiding effect of the louver assembly 10, the airflow can flow out from the air outlet 202.

And there is no need to set an additional air guide plate to guide the air, thereby simplifying the air guide structure of the air conditioner 100, reducing the wind resistance at the air outlet 202, making the air flow smoother, and improving the air outlet effect.
