[0040] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and cannot be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0041] Reference below Figure 1-Figure 12 The wind guiding component 100 according to the embodiment of the present utility model is described.

[0042] The wind guide component 100 according to the first embodiment of the utility model includes: a wind guide plate 10 , a connecting structure 30 and a latch member 40 .

[0043] refer to Figure 1 , wherein the connection structure 30 is provided on the air deflector 10, and the connection structure 30 includes a connection plate 31 and a locking protrusion 32 arranged at intervals along a first direction. For example, the air deflector 10 can extend along the first direction, and the connection plate 31 can be provided at one end of the air deflector 10 along the first direction. A latch hole 33 is formed on the connection plate 31, and the latch member 40 includes a connected mounting block 41 and a latch column 42, and the latch column 42 is inserted into the latch hole 33 along the first direction.

[0044] The wind guide driving mechanism for driving the wind guide plate 10 to rotate can be connected to the latch column 42, so that the wind guide plate 10 can be connected to the wind guide driving mechanism. When the wind guide driving mechanism is working, the wind guide plate 10 can be driven to rotate. For example, the output end of the wind guide driving mechanism is connected to a connecting arm, and a driving hole is formed on the connecting arm. In the first direction, the connecting arm can be located on the side of the connecting plate 31 away from the mounting block 41, and the latch column 42 is inserted into the latch hole 33 and the driving hole along the first direction. By inserting the latch member 40 into the latch hole 33 and the driving hole, the wind guide plate 10 can be connected to the connecting arm, and then the wind guide plate 10 can be connected to the wind guide driving mechanism, so that the wind guide plate 10 can be driven by the wind guide driving mechanism to open or close the air outlet of the air conditioner.

[0045] By providing a latch member 40 on the air guide component 100 and inserting the latch column 42 into the latch hole 33, the air guide plate 10 can be detachably connected to other components, and the user can disassemble the air guide plate 10 for replacement and cleaning; and the cooperation of the latch member 40 and the latch hole 33 makes it easier to remove the air guide plate 10 from other components.

[0046] Among them, the latch member 40 has a locked state and an unlocked state. When the latch member 40 is in the locked state, the latch member 40 is locked relative to the air guide plate 10, and the air guide drive mechanism is connected to the latch column 42 of the latch member 40, and the air guide drive mechanism can drive the air guide plate 10 to rotate; when the latch member 40 is in the unlocked state, the latch member 40 can move relative to the air guide plate 10 to release the connection between the latch member 40 and the air guide drive mechanism, for example, the air guide plate 10 can be removed by moving the latch member 40 to disengage from the drive hole on the above-mentioned connecting arm.

[0047] In the locked state, in the first direction, the mounting block 41 is located between the connecting plate 31 and the locking protrusion 32, and the mounting block 41 abuts against the locking protrusion 32, so that the latch member 40 is fixed relative to the air guide plate 10. The locking protrusion 32 and the connecting plate 31 can limit the latch member 40 in the first direction, so that the latch member 40 is more stably fixed on the air guide plate 10, and the latch member 40 is not easy to be loosened from the air guide plate 10. In the unlocked state, the mounting block 41 is disengaged from the locking protrusion 32 in the first direction, and the latch member 40 can move relative to the air guide plate 10 in the first direction. By moving the latch member 40 in the first direction, the connection relationship between the latch member 40 and the air guide drive mechanism can be released, for example, the latch column 42 on the latch member 40 can be disengaged from the drive hole on the above-mentioned connecting arm.

[0048] Among them, when the latch member 40 is in the locked state, in the first direction, the mounting block 41 is located between the connecting plate 31 and the locking protrusion 32 and the mounting block 41 abuts against the locking protrusion 32, so that the latch member 40 is fixed relative to the wind guide plate 10. At this time, the connection between the wind guide drive mechanism and the wind guide plate 10 can be realized. When the wind guide drive mechanism is working, the wind guide plate 10 can be driven to rotate. At this time, the latch member 40 is not easy to fall off and slide out of the wind guide plate 10, and the connection between the wind guide plate 10 and the latch member 40 is tighter; when the latch member 40 is in the unlocked state, the latch member 40 can move relative to the wind guide plate 10 along the first direction, so that the latch column 42 is inserted into the driving hole or disengaged from the driving hole.

[0049] For example, when the air guide plate 10 needs to be removed, a force is applied to the latch member 40 so that the mounting block 41 of the latch member 40 and the locking protrusion 32 on the air guide plate 10 are released from the abutment and limiting relationship in the first direction. For example, a force can be applied to the mounting block 41 of the latch member 40 along the second direction so that the mounting block 41 of the latch member 40 and the locking protrusion 32 on the air guide plate 10 are released from the abutment and limiting relationship in the first direction. The second direction is the protruding direction of the locking protrusion 32 relative to the air guide plate 10. In this way, the latch member 40 can be switched from the locked state to the unlocked state. When the latch member 40 is in the unlocked state, the latch member 40 can be pulled or pushed along the first direction and in the direction away from the connecting plate 31 so that the latch member 40 is disconnected from the air guide drive mechanism. For example, the latch member 40 is disengaged from the driving hole on the connecting arm along the first direction, so that the air guide plate 10 can be removed.

[0050] When the air guide plate 10 is installed at the air outlet, the latch member 40 is placed on a side of the connecting plate 31 adjacent to the locking protrusion 32, and the latch member 40 is pushed along the first direction and in the direction close to the connecting plate 31, and the latch column 42 of the latch member 40 can be inserted into the latch hole 33 on the connecting plate 31 until the mounting block 41 hits the locking protrusion 32, so that the mounting block 41 can pass over the locking protrusion 32. After the mounting block 41 passes over the locking protrusion 32, the mounting block 41 is located on a side of the connecting plate 31 adjacent to the locking protrusion 32 and the connecting plate 31 abuts in the first direction. At this time, the latch column 42 is inserted into the latch hole 33 and the above-mentioned drive hole, thereby realizing the connection between the air guide plate 10 and the air guide drive mechanism, and the common limitation of the connecting plate 31 and the locking protrusion 32 on the latch member 40 in the first direction can reduce the risk of the latch member 40 loosening, so that the latch member 40 is more stably mounted on the air guide plate 10.

[0051] According to the wind guide component 100 of the embodiment of the utility model, by including a connecting structure 30 arranged on the wind guide plate 10, the connecting structure 30 includes a locking protrusion 32. In the locked state, the locking protrusion 32 can be abutted against the mounting block 41 on the latch, and in the unlocked state, the locking protrusion 32 can be disengaged from the mounting block 41 on the latch, so that the latch member 40 can be fixed relative to the wind guide plate 10 in the locked state, and the latch member 40 can be prevented from falling off from the wind guide plate 10 in the locked state while ensuring that the latch member 40 is easy to disassemble and assemble, thereby enhancing the stability of the connection between the latch member 40 and the wind guide plate 10.

[0052] According to some embodiments of the present invention, reference Figure 4 and Figure 5The mounting block 41 includes a first mounting portion 43 with elastic deformation capability. The first mounting portion 43 is elastically deformed to enable the latch member 40 to switch between the locked state and the unlocked state. In the locked state, the first mounting portion 43 abuts against the locking protrusion 32 in the first direction; in the unlocked state, the first mounting portion 43 is disengaged from the locking protrusion 32 in the first direction. For example, the first mounting portion 43 can be bent and elastically deformed in the second direction (such as the e2 direction in the accompanying drawings). When unlocking, the user can pull the first mounting portion 43 in the second direction to bend and elastically deform the first mounting portion 43 upward, thereby disengaging the first mounting portion 43 from abutting against the locking protrusion 32. At this time, the first mounting portion 43 will not be limited by the locking protrusion 32, so that the latch member 40 is converted from the locked state to the unlocked state. At this time, the latch member 40 can move in the first direction and in the direction away from the connecting plate 31. In the process of the latch member 40 moving in the first direction and away from the connecting plate 31, the latch member 40 will not interfere with the locking protrusion 32. In this way, the latch member 40 can be disconnected from the air guide drive mechanism by moving in the first direction and in the direction away from the connecting plate 31. By making the first mounting portion 43 have elastic deformation ability, it is easier to switch the latch member 40 from the locked state to the unlocked state.

[0053] According to some embodiments of the present invention, reference Figure 5 In the first direction, the side of the locking protrusion 32 away from the connecting plate 31 forms a first guiding slope 34 for guiding the movement of the first mounting portion 43. The protruding direction of the locking protrusion 32 relative to the air guide plate 10 is the second direction. The first guiding slope 34 extends obliquely in the second direction toward the direction close to the connecting plate 31, and the second direction is perpendicular to the first direction. When the latch member 40 changes from the unlocked state to the locked state, the side wall of the first mounting portion 43 abuts against the first guiding slope 34. Through the guiding effect of the first guiding slope 34, the first mounting portion 43 can be guided to pass over the locking protrusion 32 and the first mounting portion 43 is elastically bent in the second direction, and the first mounting portion 43 moves toward the connecting plate 31 until the side wall of the first mounting portion 43 passes over the first guiding slope 34, so that the entire mounting block 41 is located on the side of the locking protrusion 32 adjacent to the connecting plate 31, and the side wall of the first mounting portion 43 abuts against the locking protrusion 32 in the first direction. By making the locking protrusion 32 include a first guide bevel 34, and the first guide bevel 34 extends obliquely in the second direction toward the direction close to the connecting plate 31, the switching of the latch member 40 from the unlocked state to the locked state can be made more convenient; and during the installation process, the first guide bevel 34 makes the first mounting portion 43 elastically bend and the first mounting portion 43 rebounds after installation, so that the user can feel a sense of frustration, prompting the user that the latch member 40 is in place.

[0054] According to some embodiments of the present invention, reference Figure 5 A second guide slope 44 is formed at one end of the first mounting portion 43 close to the air guide plate 10. The second guide slope 44 is in the same inclination direction as the first guide slope 34. When the latch member 40 switches between the locked state and the unlocked state, the second guide slope 44 is adapted to contact and cooperate with the first guide slope 34. When the latch member 40 switches from the unlocked state to the locked state, the second guide slope 44 abuts against the first guide slope 34. Through the guiding effect of the first guide slope 34 and the second guide slope 44, the first mounting portion 43 can be more conveniently moved over the locking protrusion 32 to the side of the locking protrusion 32 adjacent to the connecting plate 31. The first mounting portion 43 moves toward the connecting plate 31, so that the latch member 40 can be easily switched to the locked state.

[0055] According to some embodiments of the present invention, reference Fig. 9 , a hand rib plate 45 is provided at one end of the first mounting portion 43 close to the locking protrusion 32. The hand rib plate 45 can be located on the side of the first mounting portion 43 away from the air guide plate 10 in the second direction. The hand rib plate 45 can extend toward the side close to the locking protrusion 32. At this time, a hand cavity can be defined between the hand rib plate 45 and the air guide plate 10. A finger can be inserted into the hand cavity and apply a force to the hand rib plate 45, thereby conveniently applying a force to the latch member 40. In the process of the latch member 40 moving from the unlocked state to the locked state, the user can lift the hand rib plate 45 and push the latch member 40 toward the connecting plate 31, so that the first mounting portion 43 bends in the second direction, and the first mounting portion 43 passes over the locking protrusion 32 to the side adjacent to the connecting plate 31 and abuts against the locking protrusion 32 in the first direction, so that the latch member 40 is switched to the locked state. When the latch member 40 moves to the locked state, the user can put down the buckle rib plate 45 so that the locking protrusion 32 limits the latch member 40 .

[0056] When the latch member 40 moves from the locked state to the unlocked state, the user can lift the hand grip plate 45 and pull the latch member 40 in a direction away from the connecting plate 31, so that the first mounting portion 43 bends in the second direction, and the first mounting portion 43 passes over the locking protrusion 32. The locking protrusion 32 will not restrict the latch member 40 from moving in a direction away from the connecting plate 31. When the latch member 40 moves to the unlocked state, the user can push the latch member 40 in the first direction and in a direction away from the connecting plate 31, so that the latch member 40 is disconnected from the air guide drive mechanism, and the air guide plate 10 can be removed. The hand grip plate 45 is provided at one end of the first mounting portion 43 close to the locking protrusion 32, so that it is convenient to apply force to the latch member 40, so that the latch member 40 can switch between the locked state and the unlocked state.

[0057] According to some embodiments of the present invention, reference Fig.10 The bottom surface of the first mounting portion 43 is formed with an escape groove 46, and the escape groove 46 is used to avoid the locking protrusion 32 during the switching process between the locked state and the unlocked state of the latch member 40. By providing the escape groove 46 on the bottom surface of the first mounting portion 43, the latch member 40 can provide a space for the locking protrusion 32 when it is in the unlocked state, so as to avoid the interference between the locking protrusion 32 and the first mounting portion 43, which makes the latch member 40 in the elastic bending state for a long time and easy to be damaged, thereby extending the life of the latch member 40.

[0058] According to some embodiments of the present invention, reference Fig. 9 and Fig.10 The two side walls of the avoidance groove 46 that are oppositely arranged along the third direction are the avoidance groove walls 47, and the avoidance groove walls 47 are formed with elastic notches 54. The protruding direction of the locking protrusion 32 relative to the air guide plate 10 is the second direction, and the third direction, the second direction and the first direction are perpendicular to each other. By forming the elastic notches 54 on the avoidance groove walls 47, the rigidity of the first mounting portion 43 can be appropriately weakened, so that the first mounting portion 43 can be easily elastically bent in the second direction, which is convenient for the user to switch the latch member 40 between the locked state and the unlocked state.

[0059] According to some embodiments of the present invention, reference Figure 2 The wind deflector 10 is formed with a mounting slot 11, and the mounting block 41 includes a second mounting portion 48, which is connected between the latch column 42 and the first mounting portion 43. The second mounting portion 48 is disposed in the mounting slot 11, and in the unlocked state, the second mounting portion 48 can slide relative to the mounting slot 11 along the first direction. By forming the mounting slot 11 on the wind deflector 10, and accommodating the second mounting portion 48 of the mounting block 41 in the mounting slot 11, the wall of the mounting slot 11 can be in contact with the second mounting portion 48, and the latch member 40 is less likely to be separated from the wind deflector 10 in the locked state, and the locking effect is better. In addition, by making the second mounting portion 48 slide relative to the mounting slot 11 along the first direction, a guiding effect can be provided for the latch member 40 when it moves along the first direction, so that the plugging and unplugging process of the latch member 40 is smoother.

[0060] According to some embodiments of the present invention, reference Figure 1 The air guide plate 10 includes an inner plate 12 and an outer plate 13 stacked together. When the air guide plate 10 is located at a position closing the air outlet, the outer plate 13 is located outside the inner plate 12, and the inner plate 12 is located inside the outer plate 13. The outer plate 13 can be seen from the outside, and the inner plate 12 is blocked by the outer plate 13. The inner plate 12 and the outer plate 13 are detachably connected, and the connecting plate 31 is provided on the outer plate 13. By providing the connecting plate 31 on the outer plate 13, it is more convenient to connect the air guide plate 10 with other components such as an air guide drive mechanism.

[0061] The mounting groove 11 and the locking protrusion 32 are both formed on the inner plate 12, and the mounting groove 11 passes through the end of the inner plate 12 along the first direction. By providing the mounting groove 11 and the locking protrusion 32 on the inner plate 12, the inner plate 12 can limit the position of the latch 40 sufficiently, and the latch 40 is not easy to separate from the inner plate 12, so that the latch 40 and the air guide plate 10 are tightly connected.

[0062] For example, when assembling the air deflector 10, the latch member 40 can be first assembled into the mounting slot 11 of the inner plate 12, and then the inner plate 12 with the latch member 40 mounted thereon can be mounted on the outer plate 13, so that the latch column 42 is inserted into the latch hole 33 on the connecting plate 31. When the air deflector 10 is mounted at the air outlet, the latch column 42 can be inserted into the driving hole on the connecting arm along the first direction, thereby achieving the connection between the air deflector 10 and the air guide driving mechanism.

[0063] According to some embodiments of the present invention, reference Fig.10 , the second mounting portion 48 has two side walls disposed opposite to each other in the third direction, respectively, formed with guide grooves 49 extending in the first direction, and the mounting slide groove 11 has two side walls disposed opposite to each other in the second direction, formed with guide ribs 14 extending in the first direction, the guide ribs 14 are accommodated in the corresponding guide grooves 49 and can slide relatively in the first direction, the protruding direction of the locking protrusion 32 relative to the air guide plate 10 is the second direction, and the third direction, the second direction and the first direction are perpendicular to each other. When the latch 40 is mounted on the air guide plate 10, the guide ribs 14 are accommodated in the guide grooves 49, and the guide grooves 49 can slide relative to the guide ribs 14 in the first direction. By making the guide ribs 14 cooperate with the guide grooves 49, the guide grooves 49 can be limited by the guide ribs 14, so as to prevent the latch 40 from moving in the second direction or the third direction, causing the latch 40 to be separated from the air guide plate 10 and making the limiting effect of the latch 40 invalid. By extending the guide rib 14 along the first direction, the guide groove 49 correspondingly extends along the first direction, so that when the latch member 40 moves along the first direction, a better guiding effect can be provided for the movement of the latch member 40 along the first direction.

[0064] According to some embodiments of the present invention, reference Fig.10The opposite ends of the second mounting portion 48 along the third direction respectively have elastic ends 50 that can be elastically deformed in the third direction, and a first limiting protrusion 51 is provided on the elastic end 50. Second limiting protrusions 15 are formed on two side walls of the mounting slide groove 11 that are oppositely arranged along the third direction. In the locked state and in the first direction, the first limiting protrusion 51 is located on the side of the second limiting protrusion 15 away from the locking protrusion 32 and abuts against the locking protrusion 32. The protruding direction of the locking protrusion 32 relative to the air guide plate 10 is the second direction, and the third direction, the second direction and the first direction are perpendicular to each other. By providing a first limiting protrusion 51 on the elastic end portion 50, a second limiting protrusion 15 is formed on two side walls of the mounting slide groove 11 that are relatively arranged along the third direction, and in the locked state and in the first direction, the first limiting protrusion 51 is located on the side of the second limiting protrusion 15 away from the locking protrusion 32 and abuts against the locking protrusion 32, so that the second limiting protrusion 15 can limit the first limiting protrusion 51, which can better limit the latch member 40, so that the latch member 40 can be more stably installed on the air guide plate 10, and the problem of the latch member 40 being easy to loosen due to the unstable connection when the latch member 40 is in the locked state can be prevented, thereby ensuring that the latch member 40 is more fully fixed in the locked state.

[0065] For example, refer to Fig.11 and Fig.12 When the latch member 40 moves along the first direction, the first limiting protrusion 51 on the latch member 40 moves from one side of the second limiting protrusion 15 along the first direction to the other side of the second limiting protrusion 15 along the first direction. The second limiting protrusion 15 squeezes the elastic end 50 in the third direction, so that the elastic end 50 is elastically deformed in the third direction. Thus, when the latch member 40 moves along the first direction, the first limiting protrusion 51 can move from one side of the second limiting protrusion 15 along the first direction to the other side of the second limiting protrusion 15 along the first direction.

[0066] According to some embodiments of the present invention, reference Fig.11 and Fig.12 The air guide plate 10 includes an inner plate 12 and an outer plate 13 stacked together, the inner plate 12 and the outer plate 13 are detachably connected, a connecting plate 31 is provided on the outer plate 13, a mounting slot 11 and a locking protrusion 32 are both formed on the inner plate 12, and the mounting slot 11 passes through the end of the inner plate 12 along a first direction;

[0067] The first limiting protrusion 51 has a third guiding inclined surface 52 and a fourth guiding inclined surface 53 which are arranged opposite to each other along the first direction, the third guiding inclined surface 52 is located at a side of the fourth guiding inclined surface 53 close to the locking protrusion 32, the second limiting protrusion 15 has a fifth guiding inclined surface 16 and a sixth guiding inclined surface 17 which are arranged opposite to each other along the first direction, the fifth guiding inclined surface 16 is located at a side of the sixth guiding inclined surface 17 close to the locking protrusion 32, and the second limiting protrusion 15 further includes a guiding straight surface 18 connected between the fifth guiding inclined surface 16 and the sixth guiding inclined surface 17;

[0068] Among them, the latch member 40 is slidable between a first position and a second position along a first direction relative to the air guide plate 10. In the first position, the fourth guide bevel 53 is located on the side of the fifth guide bevel 16 close to the locking protrusion 32 and abuts against the fifth guide bevel 16, and the latch column 42 is disengaged from the latch hole 33. In the second position, the third guide bevel 52 is located on the side of the sixth guide bevel 17 close to the connecting plate 31 and abuts against the sixth guide bevel 17, and the latch column 42 is inserted in the latch hole 33.

[0069] For example, the installation process of the air guide plate 10 can be as follows: the latch member 40 is first installed on the inner plate 12. During the process of installing the latch member 40 on the inner plate 12, the latch member 40 is inserted into the installation slot 11 along one side of the inner plate 12 and along the first direction, and the second installation portion 48 of the latch member 40 slides along the installation slot 11 until the first limiting protrusion 51 contacts the sixth guide slope 17, that is, the third guide slope 52 of the first limiting protrusion 51 abuts against the sixth guide slope 17, at which time the latch member 40 is in the second position. As the latch member 40 continues to slide along the first direction, the contact area between the third guide slope 52 and the sixth guide slope 17 gradually decreases due to the guiding action of the third guide slope 52 and the sixth guide slope 17 until the first limiting protrusion 51 is separated from the sixth guide slope 17, at which time the third guide slope 52 contacts the guide straight surface 18. During the contact between the first limiting protrusion 51 and the guide straight surface 18, the second limiting protrusion 15 squeezes the elastic end portion 50 in the third direction, so that the elastic end portion 50 is elastically deformed in the third direction, and the elastic end portion 50 is compressed until the first limiting protrusion 51 leaves the guide straight surface 18, and the elastic end portion 50 rebounds along the third direction. At this time, the first limiting protrusion 51 contacts the fifth guide inclined surface 16, and the fourth guide inclined surface 53 of the first limiting protrusion 51 is against the fifth guide inclined surface 16. The latch member 40 is in the first position, and the latch member 40 will not protrude from the inner plate 12 in the first direction. In this way, when the inner plate 12 is subsequently installed on the outer plate 13, the latch column 42 will not interfere with the connecting plate 31 on the outer plate 13, so that the inner plate 12 can be installed on the outer plate 13 more smoothly.

[0070] When the inner plate 12 with the latch member 40 installed is installed on the outer plate 13, the inner plate 12 is installed on the inner side of the outer plate 13, and then the latch column 42 of the latch member 40 is inserted into the latch hole 33. In the process of inserting the latch column 42 of the latch member 40 into the latch hole 33, the second mounting portion 48 of the latch member 40 slides along the mounting slide groove 11, and slides until the first limiting protrusion 51 contacts the fifth guide slope 16, that is, the fourth guide slope 53 abuts against the fifth guide slope 16, and the latch member 40 is in the first position. As the latch member 40 continues to slide along the first direction, the contact area between the fourth guide slope 53 and the fifth guide slope 16 gradually decreases due to the guiding action of the fourth guide slope 53 and the fifth guide slope 16 until the fourth guide slope 53 is out of cooperation with the fifth guide slope 16, and the fourth guide slope 53 contacts the guide straight surface 18. During the contact between the first limiting protrusion 51 and the guide straight surface 18, the second limiting protrusion 15 squeezes the elastic end 50 in the third direction, so that the elastic end 50 is elastically deformed in the third direction, and the elastic end 50 is compressed until the first limiting protrusion 51 leaves the guide straight surface 18, and the elastic end 50 rebounds along the third direction. At this time, the first limiting protrusion 51 contacts the sixth guide inclined surface 17, and the third guide inclined surface 52 abuts against the sixth guide inclined surface 17. The latch member 40 is in the second position. At this time, the latch column 42 of the latch member 40 is inserted into the latch hole 33, so that the latch member 40 can play a role of connection and fixing.

[0071] When the installed air guide component 100 is installed at the air outlet, the latch column 42 of the latch component 40 can be inserted into the driving hole of the connecting arm on the air guide drive mechanism along the first direction, and the first mounting portion 43 of the latch component 40 can pass over the locking protrusion 32 to the mounting block 41 and be located on the side of the locking protrusion 32 close to the connecting plate 31, and the first mounting portion 43 abuts against the locking protrusion 32 in the first direction, so that the latch component 40 is switched from the unlocked state to the locked state, ensuring the stable connection between the air guide component 100 and the air guide drive mechanism.

[0072] When the air guide component 100 needs to be removed, the latch member 40 is switched from the locked state to the unlocked state. At this time, the latch member 40 is located in the second position. The latch member 40 is pushed again to move from the second position toward the direction close to the first position. During the movement of the latch member 40 toward the first position, the latch member 40 can be disconnected from the air guide drive mechanism. When the latch member 40 continues to move to the first position, the latch column 42 of the latch member 40 is disengaged from the latch hole 33 on the connecting plate 31.

[0073] By providing a second limiting protrusion 15 on the guide slide groove, providing a first limiting protrusion 51 on the second mounting portion 48, and making the first limiting protrusion 51 include a third guiding bevel 52 and a fourth guiding bevel 53, and the second limiting protrusion 15 includes a fifth guiding bevel 16 and a sixth guiding bevel 17, the latch member 40 can be limited when in the first position and the second position, preventing the latch member 40 from moving in the first direction so as to cause the latch column 42 of the latch member 40 to be disengaged from the latch hole 33, thereby ensuring that the latch member 40 has a sufficient limiting effect; and, when pushing the latch member 40 to move from the first position to the second position or from the second position to the first position, there is a concave and convex feel, which enhances the sense of frustration and can convey to the user a prompt as to whether the installation is in place.

By inserting the connecting member into the first support hole 20 and the second support hole to connect the air guide plate 10 and other components, the air guide plate 10 can be more stably connected to the air conditioner.

[0075] When installing the air guide plate 10 on the air conditioner, the connecting parts need to be inserted into the first support hole 20 and the second support hole in sequence, and the latch column 42 needs to be inserted into the latch hole 33 and the driving hole of the air guide driving mechanism, so that the air guide plate 10 can be fixedly connected to the support frame and can rotate relative to the support frame, thereby realizing the function that the air guide plate 10 can rotate to open the air outlet.

[0087] Reference below Figure 1-Figure 12 The wind guiding component 100 according to some embodiments of the present invention is described.

[0088] In this embodiment, the wind guide component 100 includes a wind guide plate 10 , a connecting structure 30 and a latch member 40 .

[0089] The air guide plate 10 includes an inner plate 12 and an outer plate 13 which are stacked, and the inner plate 12 and the outer plate 13 are detachably connected.

[0090] The connection structure 30 is provided on the air deflector 10 and includes a connection plate 31 and a locking protrusion 32 arranged at intervals along a first direction. The connection plate 31 is provided on the outer plate 13, and a latch hole 33 is formed on the connection plate 31. In the first direction, a first guide slope 34 for guiding the movement of the first mounting portion 43 is formed on a side of the locking protrusion 32 away from the connection plate 31. The protruding direction of the locking protrusion 32 relative to the air deflector 10 is a second direction. The first guide slope 34 extends obliquely toward a direction close to the connection plate 31 in the second direction, and the second direction is perpendicular to the first direction.

[0091] The latch member 40 includes a mounting block 41 and a latch post 42 connected to each other, and the latch post 42 is inserted into the latch hole 33 along the first direction. The latch member 40 has a locked state and an unlocked state. In the locked state, in the first direction, the mounting block 41 is located between the connecting plate 31 and the locking protrusion 32 and the mounting block 41 abuts against the locking protrusion 32, so that the latch member 40 is fixed relative to the air guide plate 10; in the unlocked state, the mounting block 41 is disengaged from the locking protrusion 32 in the first direction, and the latch member 40 is movable relative to the air guide plate 10 along the first direction.

In the locked state, the first mounting portion 43 abuts against the locking protrusion 32 in the first direction; in the unlocked state, the first mounting portion 43 is disengaged from the locking protrusion 32 in the first direction.

[0092] A second guide slope 44 is formed at one end of the first mounting portion 43 close to the air guide plate 10. The second guide slope 44 is in the same inclination direction as the first guide slope 34. When the latch member 40 switches between the locked state and the unlocked state, the second guide slope 44 is adapted to contact and cooperate with the first guide slope 34. A buckle rib plate 45 is provided at one end of the first mounting portion 43 close to the locking protrusion 32.

The protruding direction of the locking protrusion 32 relative to the air guide plate 10 is the second direction, and the third direction, the second direction and the first direction are perpendicular to each other.

[0094] The air guide plate 10 is formed with a mounting slot 11, which penetrates the end of the inner plate 12 along the first direction. The mounting block 41 includes a second mounting portion 48, which is connected between the latch column 42 and the first mounting portion 43. The second mounting portion 48 is arranged in the mounting slot 11. In the unlocked state, the second mounting portion 48 can slide relative to the mounting slot 11 along the first direction. The second mounting portion 48 has two side walls arranged opposite to each other along the third direction, respectively formed with guide slots 49 extending along the first direction, and the mounting slot 11 has two side walls arranged opposite to each other along the second direction, respectively formed with guide ribs 14 extending along the first direction. According to some embodiments of the utility model, the opposite ends of the second mounting portion 48 along the third direction respectively have elastic ends 50 which can be elastically deformed in the third direction, and the elastic end 50 is provided with a first limiting protrusion 51. The second limiting protrusion 15 is formed on the two side walls of the mounting groove 11 which are oppositely arranged along the third direction. In the locked state and in the first direction, the first limiting protrusion 51 is located on the side of the second limiting protrusion 15 away from the locking protrusion 32 and abuts against the locking protrusion 32.

[0095] The first limiting protrusion 51 has a third guiding bevel 52 and a fourth guiding bevel 53 which are arranged opposite to each other along the first direction, and the third guiding bevel 52 is located on the side of the fourth guiding bevel 53 close to the locking protrusion 32.

[0096] Among them, the latch member 40 is slidable between a first position and a second position along a first direction relative to the air guide plate 10. In the first position, the third guide bevel 52 is located on the side of the fifth guide bevel 16 close to the locking protrusion 32 and abuts against the fifth guide bevel 16, and the latch column 42 is disengaged from the latch hole 33. In the second position, the fourth guide bevel 53 is located on the side of the sixth guide bevel 17 close to the connecting plate 31 and abuts against the sixth guide bevel 17.

[0097] The following is the installation process of the latch member 40 in this embodiment.

[0098] First, install the latch member 40 on the inner plate 12. Align the guide groove 49 of the second mounting portion 48 with the guide rib 14 and push the latch member 40 in the direction of the locking protrusion 32. The second mounting portion 48 of the latch member 40 slides along the guide groove until the third guide slope 52 abuts against the sixth guide slope 17. At this time, the latch member 40 is in the second position. As the latch member 40 continues to be pushed in the direction of the locking protrusion 32, the second mounting portion 48 is pressed inward along the third direction through the guiding action of the third guide slope 52 and the sixth guide slope 17. The contact area between the third guide slope 52 and the sixth guide slope 17 gradually decreases until the third guide slope 52 contacts the guide straight surface 18. During the contact between the first limiting protrusion 51 and the guide surface 18, the second limiting protrusion 15 squeezes the elastic end 50 in the third direction, so that the elastic end 50 is elastically deformed in the third direction, and the elastic end 50 is compressed until the first limiting protrusion 51 leaves the guide surface 18, and the elastic end 50 rebounds along the third direction. At this time, the third guide inclined surface 52 leaves the guide surface 18, and the second mounting portion 48 pops outward along the third direction. At this time, the fourth guide inclined surface 53 is abutted against the fifth guide inclined surface 16, and the latch member 40 is in the first position. At this time, the latch column 42 is disengaged from the latch hole 33, and the latch column 42 will not interfere with the latch hole 33, and the inner plate 12 can be installed on the outer plate 13.

[0099] At the same time, the latch member 40 is in the unlocked state, the mounting block 41 is out of contact with the locking protrusion 32 in the first direction, and the locking protrusion 32 is accommodated in the avoidance groove 46. After the inner plate 12 is mounted on the outer plate 13, the latch hole 33 on the outer plate 13 is aligned with the insertion holes of other components, such as the driving hole on the wind guide drive mechanism, so that the latch column 42 can be inserted into the latch hole 33 and the driving hole at the same time to fix the wind guide plate 10 and other structures. The latch member 40 is pushed toward the connecting plate 31 along the first direction, and the second guide slope 44 abuts against the first guide slope 34. Through the guiding action of the first guide slope 34 and the second guide slope 44, the edge of the first mounting portion 43 away from the connecting plate 31 is elastically bent toward the second direction, and the first mounting portion 43 moves toward the connecting plate 31 until the side wall of the first mounting portion 43 crosses the guide slope and contacts the wind guide plate 10, so that the latch member 40 is changed from the unlocked state to the locked state.

[0100] During the process of the latch member 40 moving toward the connecting plate 31, the fourth guide slope 53 abuts against the fifth guide slope 16. As the latch member 40 continues to be pushed toward the connecting plate 31, the second mounting portion 48 is pressed inwardly along the third direction through the guiding action of the fourth guide slope 53 and the fifth guide slope 16, and the contact area between the fourth guide slope 53 and the fifth guide slope 16 gradually decreases until the fourth guide slope 53 contacts the guide straight surface 18. During the contact between the first limiting protrusion 51 and the guide straight surface 18, the second limiting protrusion 15 squeezes the elastic end 50 in the third direction, so that the elastic end 50 is elastically deformed in the third direction, and the elastic end 50 is compressed until the fourth guide inclined surface 53 leaves the guide straight surface 18, and the second mounting portion 48 is ejected outward along the third direction. At this time, the third guide inclined surface 52 abuts against the sixth guide inclined surface 17, and the latch member 40 is in the second position. At this time, the latch column 42 of the latch member 40 is inserted into the latch hole 33, and the latch member 40 can limit the wind guide plate 10 and other structures such as the wind guide drive structure. At this time, the latch member 40 is in the second position and is in a locked state.

[0101] The connecting piece is inserted into the first supporting hole 20 and the second supporting hole in sequence, so that the air guide plate 10 can be connected to the supporting frame and can rotate relative to the supporting frame, so that the air guide plate 10 can rotate to open the air outlet. The air guide plate 10 is installed.

[0102] The disassembly process of the latch member 40 in this embodiment will be described below.

[0103] The connecting piece is pulled out from the first supporting hole 20 and the second supporting hole in sequence to disconnect the air guide plate 10 from the supporting frame.

[0104] The user lifts the hand grip plate 45 and pulls the latch member 40 in a direction away from the connecting plate 31, so that the portion of the first mounting portion 43 away from the connecting plate 31 bends in a second direction, and the first mounting portion 43 bypasses the locking protrusion 32, and the locking protrusion 32 does not restrict the latch member 40 from moving in the direction of the connecting plate 31. When the latch member 40 moves to the unlocked state, the user can put down the hand grip plate 45, and at this time, the latch column 42 of the latch member 40 is separated from the connecting plate 31, and the air guide plate 10 can be separated from the air conditioner.

[0105] At the same time, the latch member 40 changes from the second state to the first state. When the latch member 40 is not moved, the third guide slope 52 abuts against the sixth guide slope 17, and the latch member 40 is in the second position. As the latch member 40 is pulled toward the locking protrusion 32, the second mounting portion 48 is pressed inward along the third direction through the guiding action of the third guide slope 52 and the sixth guide slope 17, and the contact area between the third guide slope 52 and the sixth guide slope 17 gradually decreases until the third guide slope 52 contacts the guide straight surface 18. During the contact between the first limiting protrusion 51 and the guide straight surface 18, the second limiting protrusion 15 squeezes the elastic end portion 50 in the third direction, so that the elastic end portion 50 is elastically deformed in the third direction, and the elastic end portion 50 is compressed until the third guiding inclined surface 52 leaves the guiding straight surface 18, and the second mounting portion 48 pops outward along the third direction. At this time, the fourth guiding inclined surface 53 abuts against the fifth guiding inclined surface 16, and the latch member 40 is in the first position. At this time, the latch column 42 is disengaged from the latch hole 33, and the latch column 42 will not interfere with the latch hole 33, so that the inner plate 12 and the outer plate 13 can be disassembled and separated.

[0106] Finally, the latch member 40 is separated from the inner plate 12. The user pushes the latch member 40 toward the connecting plate 31, and the fourth guide slope 53 abuts against the fifth guide slope 16. As the latch member 40 continues to be pushed toward the connecting plate 31, the second mounting portion 48 is pressed inwardly along the third direction by the guiding action of the fourth guide slope 53 and the fifth guide slope 16, and the contact area between the fourth guide slope 53 and the fifth guide slope 16 gradually decreases until the fourth guide slope 53 contacts the guide straight surface 18. During the contact between the first limiting protrusion 51 and the guide straight surface 18, the second limiting protrusion 15 squeezes the elastic end 50 in the third direction, so that the elastic end 50 is elastically deformed in the third direction, and the elastic end 50 is compressed until the fourth guide slope 53 leaves the guide straight surface 18, and the second mounting portion 48 pops outward along the third direction. At this time, the third guide slope 52 abuts against the sixth guide slope 17, and the latch member 40 is in the second position. The latch member 40 continues to be pushed toward the direction of the connecting plate 31 until the guide groove 49 of the second mounting portion 48 is disengaged from the guide rib 14, and the latch member 40 can be removed from the air guide plate 10, and the air guide plate 10 is completely dismantled.
