Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of air conditioning, in particular to an air guide component and an air conditioner. Background Art

[0002] Some air conditioners are equipped with an air guide assembly, which is usually composed of an air guide plate and air sweeping blades. The air guide plate is driven by a driving mechanism to flip up and down at the air outlet to guide the air up and down; multiple air sweeping blades are arranged on the air guide plate in sequence, and swing left and right under the drive of the driving mechanism to sweep the air left and right.

[0003] The wind guide assemblies currently on the market have both displacement changes and angular deflections when the wind sweeping blades swing, so a complex intermediate mechanism is usually used to connect the drive mechanism and the multiple wind sweeping blades. This results in a complex overall structure of the wind guide assembly, difficulty in disassembly and assembly, and high cost. Utility Model Content

[0004] The problem solved by the utility model is that the wind guide assembly configured in the existing air conditioner has a complex structure, is difficult to assemble and disassemble, and has a high cost.

[0005] In order to solve the above problems, the utility model provides an air guide assembly, which has the characteristics of simple structure, easy disassembly and assembly, and lower cost.

[0006] The embodiment of the utility model provides a technical solution:

[0007] A wind guide assembly includes a wind guide plate, a drive module, a drive connecting rod and a wind sweeping module, wherein the wind sweeping module is arranged on the wind guide plate, one end of the drive connecting rod is hinged to the drive module, and the other end is hinged to the wind sweeping module, and the drive connecting rod is used to drive the wind sweeping module to move relative to the wind guide plate under the drive of the drive module.

[0008] The wind guide assembly provided by the embodiment of the utility model has a driving module that is connected to the wind sweeping module through a driving connecting rod, and the driving module drives the wind sweeping module to move relative to the wind guide plate through the driving connecting rod to complete the wind sweeping. Since the two ends of the driving connecting rod are respectively hinged to the driving module and the wind sweeping module, during the operation of the driving module, the driving connecting rod can undergo both linear displacement and angular deflection, which can adapt to the movement of the wind sweeping module and ensure that the wind sweeping process proceeds smoothly. Therefore, the wind guide assembly provided by the embodiment of the utility model has the characteristics of simple structure, easy disassembly and assembly, and lower cost.

[0009] In an optional embodiment, a hinge pin is provided at one end of the driving connecting rod, and the hinge pin is hinged to the driving module; and / or,

[0010] The other end of the driving connecting rod is provided with a hinge hole, and the hinge hole is hinged to the wind sweeping module.

[0011] One end of the driving link is rotatably inserted into the driving module through a hinge pin to achieve hinged connection with the driving module; the other end of the driving link is rotatably inserted into the air-sweeping module through a hinge hole to achieve hinged connection with the air-sweeping module.

[0012] In an alternative embodiment, the axis of the hinge pin is perpendicular to the air deflector, and / or,

[0013] the center line of the hinge hole is perpendicular to the air deflector.

[0014] The axis of the hinge pin of the driving link is perpendicular to the air deflector, and the center line of the hinge hole is also perpendicular to the air deflector, that is, the rotation plane of the driving link is parallel to the plane where the air deflector is located, ensuring the air-sweeping efficiency of the air-sweeping module.

[0015] In an alternative embodiment, a weight-reducing groove extending in the length direction is recessed in the driving link.

[0016] The setting of the weight-reducing groove reduces the weight of the driving link, and since the weight-reducing groove extends in the length direction of the driving link, the stress concentration of the driving link is reduced, improving the service life of the driving link.

[0017] In an alternative embodiment, the air-sweeping module includes a driving blade, a linkage member, and a driven blade. The driving blade and the driven blade are respectively connected to the air deflector. The driving blade is connected to the driven blade through the linkage member. One end of the driving link away from the driving module is hinged to the driving blade.

[0018] The driving module drives the driving blade to swing through the driving link, and the driving blade drives the driven blade to swing synchronously through the linkage member to achieve air-sweeping.

[0019] In an alternative embodiment, the driving blade has an assembly portion, an input portion, and an output portion arranged in sequence in a direction parallel to the air deflector. The assembly portion is connected to the air deflector, the output portion is connected to the linkage member, and the input portion is hinged to the driving link.

[0020] The input portion is between the assembly portion and the output portion, and the distance between the input portion and the assembly portion is less than the distance between the output portion and the assembly portion, so that the action of the driving module is amplified, thereby reducing the movement stroke of the driving module and the driving link.

[0024] In an alternative embodiment, the driving blade is rotatably connected to the linkage, and / or,

[0025] The driven blade is fixedly connected to the linkage.

[0026] The driving blade is rotatably connected to the linkage, preventing the linkage from deflecting under the drive of the driving blade. The driven blade is fixedly connected to the linkage, further enhancing the structural stability and ensuring accurate sweeping angles.

[0027] In an alternative embodiment, the drive module includes a drive mechanism and a telescopic rod. The drive mechanism is connected to the telescopic rod and is used to drive the telescopic rod to perform telescopic movement in a linear direction parallel to the air deflector. One end of the drive link away from the air-sweeping module is hinged to the telescopic rod.

[0028] The drive mechanism drives the telescopic rod to extend and retract. The telescopic rod pulls the drive link to drive the air-sweeping module to perform air-sweeping. During this process, the drive link rotates relative to the telescopic rod and the air-sweeping module, adapting to the angle change of the air-sweeping module and ensuring the smooth progress of the air-sweeping process.

Detailed implementation manners

[0039] To make the above - mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present utility model more obvious and understandable, the following detailed description of the specific embodiments of the present utility model is given with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0040] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 The schematic diagram of the structure of the air conditioner 10 provided in this embodiment is shown.

[0041] The air conditioner 10 provided in this embodiment includes a body 11 and a plurality of air guiding assemblies 100. The body 11 has an air outlet 12, and the plurality of air guiding assemblies 100 are all installed at the air outlet 12.

[0042] The air guiding assembly 100 can not only adjust the angle of the airflow blown out from the air outlet 12 in the vertical direction, that is, up - and - down air guiding, but also adjust the angle in the horizontal direction, that is, left - and - right air sweeping. The plurality of air guiding assemblies 100 are arranged at different positions of the air outlet 12 to realize the sub - area adjustment of the air outlet angle of the air outlet 12.

[0043] Specifically, in this embodiment, the number of the air guiding assemblies 100 is two, and the two air guiding assemblies 100 are arranged in sequence in the length direction of the air outlet 12 to realize the independent adjustment of the air outlet conditions in the left and right areas of the air outlet 12.

[0044] Please refer to in combination Figure 2 , Figure 2 The schematic diagram of the structure of the air guiding assembly 100 provided in this embodiment is shown.

[0045] The air guiding assembly 100 provided in this embodiment includes an air guiding plate 110, a driving module 120, a driving link 130, and a sweeping module 140. The sweeping module 140 is disposed on the air guiding plate 110. One end of the driving link 130 is hinged to the driving module 120, and the other end is hinged to the sweeping module 140. The driving link 130 is configured to drive the sweeping module 140 to act relative to the air guiding plate 110 under the drive of the driving module 120, so as to realize left - right air sweeping.

[0046] In practical applications, the air guiding plate 110 rotates in a vertical plane to adjust the vertical air outlet angle. The driving module 120 drives the sweeping module 140 to act relative to the air guiding plate 110 through the driving link 130 to adjust the horizontal air outlet angle. Since both ends of the driving link 130 are respectively hinged to the driving module 120 and the sweeping module 140, under the drive of the driving module 120, the driving link 130 can not only perform displacement in a linear direction but also deflect at an angle, thereby realizing the air sweeping action of the sweeping module 140.

[0047] In this embodiment, the driving module 120 includes a driving mechanism 121 and a telescopic rod 122. The driving mechanism 121 is connected to the telescopic rod 122 and is configured to drive the telescopic rod 122 to perform telescopic movement in a linear direction parallel to the air guiding plate 110. One end of the driving link 130 away from the sweeping module 140 is hinged to the telescopic rod 122.

[0048] The driving mechanism 121 may include a linear motor. The linear motor drives the telescopic rod 122 to perform telescopic movement in a linear direction parallel to the air guiding plate 110. During the telescopic movement of the telescopic rod 122, the sweeping module 140 is driven to sweep the air through the driving link 130. The rotation of the driving link 130 relative to the telescopic rod 122 and the sweeping module 140 can realize the angle deflection in the air sweeping action of the sweeping module 140.

[0049] Specifically, in this embodiment, the sweeping module 140 includes a driving blade 141, a linkage member 142, and a driven blade 143. The driving blade 141 and the driven blade 143 are respectively connected to the air guiding plate 110. The driving blade 141 is connected to the driven blade 143 through the linkage member 142. One end of the driving link 130 away from the driving module 120 is hinged to the driving blade 141.

[0050] In this embodiment, the driving blade 141 is rotatably connected to the air guiding plate 110, and the driven blade 143 is fixedly connected to the air guiding plate 110. That is, the driving blade 141 rotates relative to the air guiding plate 110 under the action of the driving link 130 and drives the driven blade 143 to deform and swing through the linkage member 142.

[0051] In this embodiment, the length direction of the air guide plate 110 is parallel to the length direction of the air outlet 12, and the air guide plate 110 can also be connected to the driving mechanism 121. In actual application, the driving mechanism 121 drives the air guide plate 110 to flip up and down at the air outlet 12 to adjust the air outlet angle in the vertical direction. The driving mechanism 121 drives the driving blade 141 to rotate horizontally through the driving connecting rod 130, and the driving blade 141 drives the driven blade 143 to swing synchronously horizontally through the linkage 142 to adjust the air outlet angle in the horizontal direction, that is, the sweeping angle adjustment.

[0052] In fact, there are multiple driven blades 143. Since the driving blade 141 is rotatably connected to the wind guide plate 110, the rotation angle is guaranteed to be in place, thereby ensuring that the wind sweeping action and wind sweeping angle of the multiple driven blades 143 are standard and in place, and a better wind sweeping effect is obtained. The multiple driven blades 143 are fixed on the wind guide plate 110, omitting a large number of component combinations, and the structure is simple and easy to disassemble and assemble, and the structural stability is better.

[0053] In order to further reduce the difficulty of assembling the air guide assembly 100, in this embodiment, the driving blade 141 is detachably and rotatably connected to the air guide plate 110. In addition, the linkage 142 and the plurality of driven blades 143 are integrally formed with the air guide plate 110. In this embodiment, the driving blade 141 and the plurality of driven blades 143 are sequentially arranged in a first direction. Figure 2 In the direction indicated by the X arrow, the plurality of driven blades 143 are connected to the driving blade 141 through the linkage member 142 , and the linkage member 142 extends along the first direction.

[0054] The air guide plate 110 may be a single-layer structure or a multi-layer composite structure. In this embodiment, the air guide plate 110 includes an outer plate and a lining plate that are stacked, and the driving blades 141 and the driven blades 143 are both connected to the side of the lining plate that is away from the outer plate. That is, the driven blades 143 and the lining plate are integrally formed.

[0055] The driving module 120 is arranged on the side of the driving blade 141 away from the multiple driven blades 143. The telescopic rod 122 of the driving module 120 also telescopes in the first direction, and the first direction is the length extension direction of the air guide plate 110. The driving blade 141 and the multiple driven blades 143 are arranged in sequence on the same side of the air guide plate 110 along the length extension direction of the air guide plate 110, thereby maximizing the utilization of the surface space of the air guide plate 110. When the driving blade 141 and the multiple driven blades 143 swing in the first direction, the horizontal air outlet angle of the air outlet 12 can be adjusted quickly and efficiently.

[0056] In practical applications, when the driving blade 141 rotates, the acting force exerted on the linkage 142 actually forms an angle with the first direction. Therefore, in order to prevent the linkage 142 from deflecting and causing inconsistent swinging degrees of multiple driven blades 143, in this embodiment, the driving blade 141 is detachably and rotatably connected to the linkage 142.

[0057] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 , Figure 3 which shows a schematic connection structure of the air deflector 110 of the air guiding assembly 100 provided in this embodiment and the sweeping module 140. Figure 4 Shown as Figure 3 an enlarged schematic view of area A in

[0058] Actually, the driving blade 141 has an assembly part 1411, an input part 1412, and an output part 1413 arranged in sequence in a direction parallel to the air deflector 110. The assembly part 1411 is connected to the air deflector 110, the output part 1413 is connected to the linkage 142, and the input part 1412 is hinged to the driving link 130.

[0059] The assembly part 1411 and the output part 1413 are respectively located at opposite ends of the driving blade 141. The input part 1412 is located between the assembly part 1411 and the output part 1413 and is closer to the assembly part 1411. Driven by the driving link 130, the input part 1412 drives the driving blade 141 to rotate relative to the air deflector 110, so as to drive the driven blade 143 to swing through the linkage 142.

[0060] It should be noted that for the non-flat air deflector 110, the direction parallel to the air deflector 110 may refer to the direction parallel to the plane formed by the periphery of the air deflector 110. For example, for the arc-shaped air deflector 110, the periphery of the arc-shaped air deflector 110 forms a rectangular plane, and the direction parallel to the air deflector 110 refers to the direction parallel to this rectangular plane.

[0061] It can be understood that the distance between the input part 1412 and the assembly part 1411 is less than the distance between the input part 1412 and the output part 1413. The movement stroke of the input part 1412 is much smaller than the movement stroke of the output part 1413, so that the movement stroke of the driving mechanism 121 is greatly reduced. Moreover, compared with the input part 1412, the output part 1413, which is farther from the assembly part 1411, is connected to the linkage 142. The output part 1413 drives the driven blade 143 to swing through the linkage 142, so that the driving force of the driving mechanism 121 is reduced.

[0062] In order to increase the arm length of the driven blades 143 and further reduce the driving force, in this embodiment, one end of the plurality of driven blades 143 corresponding to the output portion 1413 of the driving blade 141 in the first direction is connected to the linkage 142. In order to further optimize the driving torque, in this embodiment, the input portion 1412 of the driving blade 141 and the positions where the plurality of driven blades 143 are connected to the wind guide plate 110 are aligned in the first direction.

[0063] It can be understood that since the ends of the multiple driven blades 143 corresponding to the output portion 1413 of the driving blade 141 in the first direction are connected to the linkage 142, and the positions where the multiple driven blades 143 are connected to the air guide plate 110 are aligned with the input portion 1412 of the driving blade 141 in the first direction, the force arm of the driven blades 143 is maximized, so that the driving force is greatly reduced.

[0064] Although the movement stroke of the linkage 142 is the largest, the drive link 130 is connected to the input part 1412 of the drive blade 141, and the input part 1412 is closer to the assembly part 1411, that is, the movement stroke of the drive mechanism 121 and the drive link 130 in the first direction is smaller and is not affected by the movement stroke of the linkage 142.

[0065] It can be seen that the air guide assembly 100 provided in this embodiment can reduce the driving force of the driving mechanism 121 while also reducing the movement stroke of the driving mechanism 121, thereby obtaining a larger installation area for the driving blades 141 and the driven blades 143 on the air guide plate 110, thereby obtaining a better wind sweeping effect.

[0066] In fact, a mounting ear plate is vertically provided on the surface of the air guide plate 110, and the driving mechanism 121 is also transmission-connected to the mounting ear plate. Driven by the driving mechanism 121, the mounting ear plate drives the air guide plate 110 to flip in a vertical plane, thereby adjusting the air outlet angle in the vertical direction of the outlet. The telescopic rod 122 passes through the mounting ear plate and is hinged to the driving connecting rod 130.

[0067] In order to ensure that the air guide plate 110 rotates smoothly, in this embodiment, another mounting ear plate is erected on the air guide plate 110 to rotatably cooperate with the body 11 of the air conditioner 10, and the wind sweeping module 140 is arranged between the two mounting ear plates.

[0068] Please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 , Figure 5 Shown Figure 2 The enlarged schematic diagram of area B in the middle. Figure 6 FIG. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of the driving connecting rod 130 .

[0069] In order to facilitate the connection between the driving link 130 and the input part 1412 and achieve a certain degree of yielding for the driving link 130, in this embodiment, a yielding window 1414 is penetrated through the driving blade 141, the input part 1412 is located within the yielding window 1414, and at least a part of the end of the driving link 130 away from the driving module 120 extends into the yielding window 1414 to be hinged with the input part 1412.

[0070] A hinge pin 131 is provided at one end of the driving link 130, and the hinge pin 131 is rotatably inserted into the driving module 120. A hinge hole 132 is provided at the other end of the driving link 130, and the hinge hole 132 is rotatably inserted into the air-sweeping module 140. In fact, a mating hole is penetrated through the end of the telescopic rod 122 of the driving module 120 away from the driving mechanism 121, and the hinge pin 131 of the driving link 130 is rotatably inserted into the mating hole, and the input part 1412 of the driving blade 141 is rotatably inserted into the hinge hole 132.

[0071] In this embodiment, the axis of the hinge pin 131 is perpendicular to the plane where the air deflector 110 is located, and the center line of the hinge hole 132 is perpendicular to the plane where the air deflector 110 is located. In other words, during the process of the driving module 120 driving the air-sweeping module 140 to sweep the air through the driving link 130, the driving link 130 rotates within a plane parallel to the air deflector 110.

[0072] In addition, in order to reduce the weight of the driving link 130 and thus reduce the weight of the overall structure, in this embodiment, a weight-reducing groove 133 extending in the length direction is recessed in the driving link 130. Since the weight-reducing groove 133 extends in the length direction of the driving link 130, the stress concentration of the driving link 130 is also relieved, and the service life of the driving link 130 is improved.

[0073] In summary, the air deflector assembly 100 provided in this embodiment has the characteristics of simple structure, easy disassembly and assembly, and lower cost. The air conditioner 10 provided in this embodiment realizes the zonal regulation of the air output from the air outlet 12, the regulation function is more abundant, and the user experience is better.
