[0035] In the related art, a wind deflector is provided at the air outlet of an air conditioner. The wind deflector can be rotatably connected to the casing or slidably connected to the casing. When the air conditioner is not operating, the wind deflector covers the air outlet and has a gap with the edge of the air outlet. During the operation of the air conditioner, the wind deflector opens the air outlet. Since the wind deflector is exposed outside the casing for a long time, dust in the external air easily adheres to the wind deflector, resulting in the airflow during the air outlet process inevitably carrying out some dust adhering to the wind deflector, polluting the airflow blown by the air conditioner and reducing the air outlet quality.

[0036] The present utility model provides an air conditioner.

[0037] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 , in an embodiment of the present utility model, the air conditioner includes:

[0038] A casing 100 is provided with an air outlet 110; and

[0039] An air deflector 600 and a cover plate 500 are both movably connected to the casing 100 and are arranged corresponding to the air outlet 110, so that the air conditioner has a first state and a second state;

[0040] In the first state, the cover plate 500 closes the air outlet 110, and the air deflector 600 is received in the casing 100; in the second state, the cover plate 500 opens the air outlet 110, and the air deflector 600 extends out of the casing 100 from the air outlet 110 and is arranged opposite to the cover plate 500 to form an air flow channel.

[0041] The technical solution of the present utility model is to movably arrange the air deflector 600 in the casing 100 and a movable cover plate 500 corresponding to the air outlet 110. In the first state, first, the air deflector 600 is received in the casing 100 from the air outlet 110, and then the cover plate 500 covers the air outlet 110, so that the air deflector 600 and the external air are separated by the cover plate 500, preventing dust from being adsorbed on the air deflector 600. In the second state, first, the cover plate 500 opens the air outlet 110, the air deflector 600 extends out of the casing 100 from the air outlet 110 and forms an air flow channel opposite to the cover plate 500 to guide the air outlet direction of the air conditioner. Thus, in the first state, the air deflector 600 is received in the casing 100, avoiding contact with the air in the external environment, thereby preventing dust from adhering and ensuring the air outlet quality. At the same time, in the second state, the air deflector 600 and the cover plate 500 form an air flow channel to adjust the air outlet direction and improve the air outlet effect.

[0042] Wherein, the air deflector 600 can be connected to the casing 100 by rotation or by sliding. In the second state, the air deflector 600 can extend out of the casing 100 from the edge of the air outlet 110 or from the middle of the air outlet 110, and then form an air flow channel with the cover plate 500. At this time, the air deflector 600 can move relative to the cover plate 500, and the cover plate 500 can also move relative to the casing 100 to adjust the size and direction of the air flow channel. Similarly, the cover plate 500 can open and close the air outlet 110 in an overall detachable manner, or can also be movably connected to one edge of the air outlet 110 to open and close the air outlet 110, so as to better adjust the direction of the air flow channel. When the cover plate 500 opens and closes the air outlet 110 in an overall detachable manner, air flow channels are formed at least on the opposite sides of the cover plate 500. When the cover plate 500 is movably connected to one edge of the air outlet 110, an air flow channel is formed between the opposite side of the cover plate 500 connected to the air outlet 110 and the air deflector 600.

[0043] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the air outlet 110 has two opposite side edges extending in the length direction and the width direction. Both the cover plate 500 and the air deflector 600 extend along the length direction of the air outlet 110. Similarly, the air flow channel is also formed on the side edge in the length direction of the air outlet 110. In another embodiment, the cover plate 500 and the air deflector 600 may also extend along the width direction of the air outlet 110. Additionally, in the second state, the air deflector 600 can partially block the air outlet 110 to achieve the air guiding effect upstream of the air outlet 110. Of course, the air deflector 600 can also extend outward closely along the side edge of the air outlet 110 to form an air guiding effect at the starting point of the air flow channel, i.e., at the air outlet 110. Similarly, in the first state, the air deflector 600 can be not opposite to the air outlet 110 to avoid the air duct in the housing 100, so as to ensure the stability and smoothness of the air flow in the air duct in the housing 100 when only the cover plate 500 needs to be opened without using the air deflector 600; of course, the air deflector 600 can also be arranged opposite to the air outlet 110. It can be understood that the driving force of the cover plate 500 and the air deflector 600 can come from the outside, or a driving component can be arranged in the housing 100 to control the activities of the air deflector 600 and the cover plate 500. Here, the driving component can drive the air deflector 600 and the cover plate 500 independently respectively, or only one power component can be set, and the power is independently or adjustably distributed to the air deflector 600 and the cover plate 500 through the transmission structure to achieve a stable switch between the first state and the second state of the air conditioner.

[0044] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 1 to 3 , the air conditioner further includes a first driving member 410 arranged in the housing 100. The first driving member 410 is connected to the cover plate 500 through a transmission member 200. It can be understood that the first driving member 410 is fixed in the housing 100, and its driving shaft drives the transmission member 200 to move. It can be that the first driving member 410 is configured as a motor, and the transmission member 200 is directly sleeved on the driving shaft of the first driving member 410, and the first driving member 410 drives the transmission member 200 to rotate relative to the housing 100. Or the first driving member 410 is configured as a cylinder or an oil cylinder, the transmission member 200 is rotatably connected to the housing 100, and the driving shaft of the first driving member 410 drives the transmission member 200 to rotate around its rotation point with the housing 100. Or the transmission member 200 slides relative to the housing 100, and the first driving member 410 drives the transmission member 200 to slide reciprocally to drive the cover plate 500 to switch between the first state and the second state to open and close the air outlet 110.

[0045] Similarly, in this embodiment, please continue to refer to Figures 1 to 3, the air conditioner further includes a second driving member 420 disposed on the housing 100, and the second driving member 420 is drivingly connected to the air deflector 600. Referring to the manner in which the first driving member 410 drives the cover plate 500 to move, the second driving member 420 may be a motor, a cylinder, an oil cylinder, etc., and drives the air deflector 600 to switch between the first state and the second state by rotating or sliding relative to the housing 100. When the air conditioner is not operating, the air deflector 600 is received in the housing 100 and is blocked by the cover plate 500 from being contaminated by external dust, thereby ensuring the air outlet quality of the air conditioner in the second state. It can be understood that in this embodiment, the driving member 200 is driven to move relative to the housing 100 by the first driving member 410, and the air deflector 600 is driven to move relative to the housing 100 by the second driving member 420. The first driving member 410 and the second driving member 420 are separately and independently arranged, ensuring the movement independence and the reliability of mutual cooperation of the driving member 200 and the air deflector 600, and ensuring the stability of the air conditioner when switching between the first state and the second state. In addition, in another embodiment, only one driving member may be provided in the air conditioner, and the power of the driving member is transmitted to the air deflector 600 and the driving member 200 respectively through a transmission structure. Among them, the transmission structure can realize the separate and independent transmission of power, or can realize the synchronous transmission of power, so as to realize the separate control of the air deflector 600 or the driving member 200, or, the combined control of the air deflector 600 and the driving member 200. Relatively speaking, the first driving member 410 and the second driving member 420 provided in this embodiment simplify the complexity of the transmission structure, simplify the structure, and improve the driving reliability.

[0046] Further, in this embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2, the transmission member 200 and the air deflector 600 are arranged on the same side of the air outlet 110 and are located on the side where the cover plate 500 opens and closes the air outlet 110. It can be understood that the first driving member 410 and the second driving member 420 can also be arranged on the same side of the air outlet 110, which is convenient for transmission control and maintenance. At the same time, it also reduces the obstruction of the air flow by the air deflector 600 and the transmission member 200 in the upstream of the air outlet channel. In addition, the transmission member 200 and the air deflector 600 are arranged on the side where the cover plate 500 opens and closes the air outlet 110, and the movement amplitude of the transmission member 200 is adapted to the movement amplitude of the air deflector 600, so that the switching smoothness between the first state and the second state of the air conditioner is better. At the same time, the movement amplitude of the transmission member 200 is larger, its force arm is longer, and the power that the first driving member 410 needs to output is reduced, thereby reducing the energy consumption and cost of the first driving member 410. In another embodiment, the transmission member 200 and the air deflector 600 are respectively arranged on opposite sides in the width direction of the air outlet 110. Among them, the cover plate 500 opens and closes the air outlet 110 unidirectionally, and the transmission member 200 drives the cover plate 500 to open and close the air outlet 110 unidirectionally on the side where the cover plate 500 is connected to the air outlet 110, and the air deflector 600 is arranged on the side where the cover plate 500 opens and closes the air outlet 110. In yet another embodiment, when the cover plate 500 opens and closes the air outlet 110 as a whole, the air guiding member extends out of the casing 100 at the side wall of the air outlet 110 and forms an air outlet channel with the side edge of the cover plate 500. Here, the installation position of the transmission member 200 can be on the same side or the opposite side of the air deflector 600 with respect to the air outlet 110.

[0047] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 3, One end of the transmission member 200 is connected to the output end of the first driving member 410, and the other end is provided with a slider 300. The slider 300 is slidably connected to the cover plate 500 along the width direction of the air outlet 110. It can be understood that in the second state, the cover plate 500 forms an air flow channel with the air deflector 600 on at least one side of the two sides in the width direction of the air outlet 110, ensuring the air outlet efficiency of the air outlet 110. During the process of the first driving member 410 driving the transmission member 200 to move, the transmission member 200 pulls the cover plate 500 to open and close the air outlet 110. Among them, the transmission member 200 first acts on the slider 300, the position of the transmission member 200 changes, and the slider 300 is synchronously pulled to change. While the slider 300 synchronously pulls the cover plate 500 to move, it also changes its position relative to the cover plate 500, that is, changes the relative posture between the transmission member 200 and the cover plate 500. In this way, the movement trajectories of the transmission member 200 and the cover plate 500 can be flexibly set. While realizing the stable opening and closing of the air outlet 110 by the cover plate 500, it is also convenient for the layout of the transmission member 200 and the first driving member 410, avoiding obstacles to the air outlet, and improving the convenience of assembly and production. Of course, in other embodiments, the transmission member 200 can also be rotatably connected to a specific position of the cover plate 500, or the movement trajectory of the transmission member 200 is consistent with the movement trajectory of the cover plate 500, and the transmission member 200 can be fixedly connected to the cover plate 500.

[0048] Without loss of generality, in one embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 , the slider 300 is rotatably arranged at the end of the transmission member 200. Since the first driving member 410 is arranged adjacent to the side edge of the air outlet 110, at this time, the movement trajectory of the transmission member 200 is not consistent with the movement trajectory of the cover plate 500 for opening and closing the air outlet 110. During the movement of the transmission member 200, the posture between the transmission member 200 and the cover plate 500 is constantly changing. The slider 300 being rotatably arranged at the end of the transmission member 200 can change the relative posture between the transmission member 200 and the slider 300, that is, change the relative posture between the transmission member 200 and the cover plate 500, thereby facilitating the switching of the air conditioner between the first state and the second state. In another embodiment, the slider 300 can also be fixed to the end of the transmission member 200. While the slider 300 is slidably connected to the cover plate 500, it can also rotate relative to the cover plate 500 on the slide rail of the cover plate 500 to adjust the relative posture between the slider 300 and the cover plate 500, thereby changing the relative posture between the transmission member 200 and the cover plate 500, and further facilitating the opening and closing of the air outlet 110 by the cover plate 500.

[0049] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5, the first driving member 410 and the transmission member 200 are correspondingly arranged in two and distributed on opposite sides in the width direction of the air outlet 110. One transmission member 200 is correspondingly slidably connected to the cover plate 500 through a slider 300. It should be noted that the cover plate 500 can form an air flow channel with the corresponding air guide plate 600 on opposite sides in the width direction of the air outlet 110. Similarly, the air guide plate 600 also extends out of the casing 100 at the opposite side edges in the width direction of the air outlet 110. Thus, in the second state, the air conditioner has three air outlet options. One is, as Figure 2 shown, the cover plate 500 forms an air flow channel on opposite sides in the width direction of the air outlet 110. Among them, the two first driving members 410 respectively drive the corresponding transmission members 200 to open the air outlet 110 in a direction away from the air outlet 110, so that the cover plate 500 is completely separated from the air outlet 110. Then, the air guide plates 600 extend out of the casing 100 on opposite sides in the width direction of the air outlet 110 and are respectively opposite to the cover plate 500 on opposite sides in the width direction of the air outlet 110 to form two air flow channels, achieving the effect of double-sided air outlet. The second is, as Figure 4 shown, the cover plate 500 forms an air flow channel on one side in the width direction of the air outlet 110. Among them, the first driving member 410 on the side of the air flow channel drives the corresponding transmission member 200 to open the air outlet 110 in a direction away from the air outlet 110, so that the cover plate 500 is in a posture of opening the air outlet 110 on one side. Then, the air guide plate 600 on this side extends out of the casing 100, and at the same time, an air flow channel is also formed opposite to the cover plate 500 on this side, achieving the effect of single-sided air outlet. The third is, as Figure 5 shown, the cover plate 500 forms an air flow channel on the other side in the width direction of the air outlet 110. Referring to the description of the second above, the single-sided air outlet effect of the air outlet 110 is similarly controlled.

[0050] It can be understood that the above three air outlet options can also be switched between each other. For example: when the air outlet 110 is in the state of double-sided air outlet, control one of the first driving members 410 to drive the corresponding transmission member 200 to be completely received in the casing 100, and at the same time control the other first driving member 410 to drive the corresponding transmission member 200 to be appropriately received in the casing 100, so that the corresponding sliders 300 slide along the width direction of the air outlet 110 towards the side where the completely received transmission member 200 is located, and then change to single-sided air outlet. That is, by controlling the activities of the two transmission members 200, the corresponding two sliders 300 can slide in the same direction on the cover plate 500, so as to realize the switching between single-sided air outlet and double-sided air outlet, as well as the two single-sided air outlets.

[0051] According to the above three air outlet options, in an embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5, when the air conditioner switches from the first state to the second state, one side of the cover plate 500 opens the air outlet 110 forward, or the cover plate 500 moves forward to open the air outlet 110, so that both sides of the cover plate 500 are spaced from the two side edges of the air outlet 110 respectively. For the transmission structure that enables the cover plate 500 to control the single-sided or double-sided air outlet of the air outlet 110, like in this embodiment, structural components such as guide vanes 600, transmission parts 200, and sliders 300 can be arranged on the opposite sides in the width direction of the air outlet 110. Or like in another embodiment, the output shaft of the first driving part 410 is provided with a crankshaft and a connecting rod to convert the rotating active state into a linear reciprocating active posture, and the end of the connecting rod is rotatably connected to the cover plate 500, so as to control the single-sided or double-sided air outlet of the air outlet 110 at the cover plate 500 through linear reciprocating driving, and control the switching of the air conditioner between the first state and the second state. Of course, compared with the cooperation relationship between the transmission part 200 and the slider 300, this method also requires the cover plate 500 to be able to completely open and close the air outlet 110. Or like in yet another embodiment, a rotating shaft is provided in the middle of the cover plate 500 in the width direction of the air outlet 110, the extending direction of the rotating shaft is parallel to the length direction of the air outlet 110, a rotating motor is provided on the machine shell 100, and the driving shaft of the rotating motor can be coaxially driven with the rotating shaft to control the rotation of the cover plate 500 around the rotating shaft. At the same time, a pushing motor is additionally arranged in the machine shell 100. In the second state, the cover plate 500 and the rotating motor are both pushed out of the air outlet 110. In the first state, the rotating motor is retracted into the machine shell 100, and the cover plate 500 is covered on the air outlet 110. Or, the machine shell 100 is provided with a driving motor, the output shaft of the driving motor is perpendicular to the rotating shaft and has a telescopic function. At the same time, spiral bevel gears are arranged on the output shaft of the driving motor and the rotating shaft on the cover plate 500 for commutation transmission, so as to realize the switching of the cover plate 500 between the first state and the second state and the control of the single-sided or double-sided air outlet of the air outlet 110 by the cover plate 500.

[0052] Specifically, for the cover plate 500 to control the single-sided or double-sided air outlet of the air outlet 110, in this embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5When one side of the cover plate 500 is opened forward, the air deflector 600 extends out of the housing 100 adjacent to the side edge of the air outlet 110, and an air outlet flow channel is formed between the opened side of the cover plate 500 and the opposite air deflector 600; alternatively, when the cover plate 500 moves forward to open the air outlet 110, the air deflector 600 extends out of the housing 100 adjacent to the side edge of the air outlet 110, and air outlet flow channels are respectively formed between the two opened sides of the cover plate 500 and the corresponding air deflectors 600. It can be understood that in the second state, whether it is single-sided air outlet or double-sided air outlet, there is an air deflector 600 to form an air outlet flow channel with the side of the cover plate 500 that opens and closes the air outlet 110 to guide the air outlet direction, and the air deflector 600 can further adjust the opening degree of the air outlet flow channel to adjust the air outlet area and coverage range.

[0053] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The transmission member 200 is rotatably provided in the housing 100. The air outlet 110 has a first side edge 111 extending along the length direction, and the first side edge 111 is located between the first driving member 410 and the cover plate 500. The transmission member 200 includes a bent portion 210 protruding away from the corresponding first side edge 111. It can be understood that in the second state, when the bent portion 210 is opposite to and adjacent to the first side edge 111, that is, the opening of the angle formed by the transmission member 200 at the bent portion 210 faces the first side edge 111, and the two arms of the bent portion 210 are respectively connected to the first driving member 410 and the cover plate 500. In this way, when the first driving member 410 drives the transmission member 200 to rotate, the bent portion 210 can be used to prevent the transmission member 200 from interfering with the first side edge 111, so that the first driving member 410 can be arranged at a position with a certain distance from the first side edge 111 of the air outlet 110, avoiding the first driving member 410 from interfering with the air outlet of the air outlet 110, and also providing more choices for the installation position of the first driving member 410, improving the convenience of assembly. Of course, in other embodiments, when the transmission member 200 linearly reciprocates to drive the cover plate 500 to move, the transmission member 200 extends in a rod shape and has a certain distance from the first side edge 111, and the installation position of the first driving member 410 is realized by extending the transmission member 200 without interfering with the air outlet of the air outlet 110.

[0054] Similarly, for the movement of the air deflector 600, in one embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3, the air deflector 600 includes a convex folding section 610 and a wind guiding section 620 connected to each other. The convex folding section 610 is convexly arranged in a direction away from the edge of the air outlet 110. In the second state, the edge of the air outlet 110 is inserted into the convex folding section 610. The wind guiding section 620 extends out of the air outlet 110 in an outwardly expanding shape and relatively constructs an air outlet flow channel with the cover plate 500. It should be noted that the folding angle opening of the convex folding section 610 is opened towards the side edge adjacent to the air outlet 110. When the transmission member 200 switches from the first state to the second state by rotation, the side edge of the air outlet 110 is inserted into the convex folding section 610, so that the wind guiding section 620 can form a horn-shaped opening with a larger opening degree outside the air outlet 110 to expand the opening degree of the air outlet flow channel, improve the coverage range of the air flow, and avoid interfering with the gas flow direction in the air outlet 110. Among them, the wind guiding section 620 can be an outwardly expanding arc-shaped plate or a straight plate. After the transmission member 200 switches back to the first state, the protruding part of the convex folding section 610 faces away from the air outlet 110 and will not hinder the cover plate 500 from closing the air outlet 110.

[0055] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the cover plate 500 is slidably connected to the housing 100 through a support rod 700, and the sliding direction of the support rod 700 is parallel to the direction in which the cover plate 500 opens and closes the air outlet 110. Without loss of generality, in the second state, the support rod 700 is at the extreme position of sliding. At this time, the transmission member 200 does not abut against the side edge of the air outlet 110. Thus, under the traction of the support rod 700 and the pushing of the transmission member 200, the cover plate 500 can maintain a stable state, cooperate with the air deflector 600 to guide the air flow to flow towards the side air outlet flow channel, and avoid the direct blowing of the air flow at the air outlet 110. At the same time, the support rod 700 can also guide the cover plate 500 to switch between the first state and the second state, so that the acting force direction of the transmission member 200 on the cover plate 500 can be adjusted to the sliding direction of the support rod 700, thereby improving the flexibility of the setting of the transmission member 200 and the first driving member 410. Of course, in other embodiments, when the transmission member 200 is actively guided, the cover plate 500 can also be stably opened and closed at the air outlet 110 only by the transmission member 200.

[0056] Furthermore, in this embodiment, please refer to Figures 1 to 3, the support rod 700 is rotationally connected to the middle of the cover plate 500 in the width direction of the air outlet 110 through a rotating shaft, and the extending direction of the rotating shaft of the support rod 700 and the cover plate 500 is parallel to the length direction of the air outlet 110. It can be understood that when the cover plate 500 laterally opens the air outlet 110, the cover plate 500 rotates around the rotating shaft extending along the length direction of the air outlet 110. Thus, the cover plate 500 can rotate relative to the support rod 700, thereby avoiding interfering with the cover plate 500 to control the lateral air outlet of the air outlet 110, and also ensuring the stability of the support rod 700 to pull the cover plate 500 to switch between the first state and the second state.
