Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of air conditioners, and more specifically, to a wind guiding component and an air conditioner. Background Art

[0002] The air conditioner zoning air supply technology enables users to adjust the temperature according to the needs of different areas in the room. For example, areas with frequent activities may require a cooler temperature, while the rest area may prefer warmth. This personalized setting improves the comfort of living or working.

[0003] The air supply of the air conditioner is realized by the sweeping blades arranged on the air deflector, which are pulled by a connecting rod to rotate. In the prior art, there are two ways to form the sweeping blades. One is that the sweeping blades are rotatably installed on the air deflector, and the other is that the guiding blades are fixedly installed on the air deflector, and the connecting rod is pulled to deform and swing to adjust the air outlet direction. Since the sweeping blades are fixedly connected, the assembly of the air conditioner is simple and it is widely used.

[0004] However, the existing connecting rod for driving the sweeping blades is generally connected to the outer peripheral edge of the sweeping blades, or the connecting rod is installed in a groove on the outer peripheral edge. In this way, the connecting rod is far from the rotating part, and the connecting rod needs to rotate a large stroke to make the sweeping blades rotate to the target angle, resulting in an increase in the volume of the air conditioner. Summary of the Utility Model

[0005] The problem solved by the utility model is that the connecting rod for driving the sweeping blades to rotate is far from the rotating part, and the connecting rod needs to rotate a large stroke to make the sweeping blades rotate to the target angle, resulting in an increase in the volume of the air conditioner.

[0006] To solve the above problems, the utility model provides a wind guiding component and an air conditioner, which can shorten the stroke of the connecting rod, thereby reducing the volume of the air conditioner.

[0007] In a first aspect, the utility model provides a wind guiding component, including an air deflector, a plurality of sweeping blades and a connecting rod;

[0008] The sweeping blades include a fixing part and a sweeping part, the fixing part is connected to one side of the sweeping part, and a first deformation part is arranged on the side of the sweeping part close to the fixing part;

[0009] The sweeping part is provided with a mounting hole, and the mounting hole is located at a position of the sweeping part close to the first deformation part;

[0010] All the sweeping blades are connected to the air deflector through the fixing part and are arranged at intervals;

[0011] The connecting rod is sequentially arranged in all the mounting holes, and the connecting rod is provided with a plurality of connecting parts, the plurality of connecting parts are arranged corresponding to the plurality of wind sweeping blades, and are connected to the side walls of the corresponding mounting holes, and the connecting part is provided with a second deformation part;

[0012] When the connecting rod moves, the wind sweeping blade can rotate by the deformation of the first deformation part and the second deformation part.

[0013] The present application sets a mounting hole on a side of the wind sweeping part close to the first forming part, and installs a connecting rod in the mounting hole, and connects to the side wall of the mounting hole through a connecting part, so that the connecting rod is closer to the first deformation part where the wind sweeping part swings, and the connecting rod can swing the wind sweeping part to a preset angle with a smaller stroke. As the distance between the connecting rod and the first deformation part becomes closer, the force required to be applied is greater in order to make the wind sweeping part deform and swing along the first deformation part, and a second deformation part is set at the connecting part to control the deformation path of the connecting part, thereby avoiding the problem of the connecting part breaking. Secondly, the connecting rod generally moves in a straight line, and the dynamic wind sweeping part swings, so the linear motion of the connecting rod is converted into the swinging of the pull rod through the deformation of the first deformation part, and the connection part can be avoided from breaking.

[0014] In an optional embodiment, the mounting hole is arranged in the middle of the wind sweeping portion and is biased towards the area of ​​the fixing portion.

[0015] The present application arranges the mounting hole in the middle area of ​​the wind sweeping portion in the width direction toward the fixing portion, so that the connecting rod can be closer to the first deformation portion, so that the connecting rod can drive the wind sweeping portion to swing with a smaller stroke.

The wind sweeping portion is provided with a weight-reducing hole corresponding to the first thinning groove, and the weight-reducing hole is arranged in the middle of the height direction of the first thinning groove.

[0017] The present application sets a first thinning groove, so that the wind sweeping part can more easily swing along the preset first thinning groove after being subjected to external force. The setting of the weight-reducing hole can not only facilitate deformation, but also reduce weight and save materials.

[0018] In an optional embodiment, the first deformation portion further includes a transition slope, which is arranged on a side of the first thinning groove away from the second deformation portion, and one side of the transition slope is connected to the bottom wall of the first thinning groove, and the other side extends toward the surface of the fixing portion.

[0020] In an alternative embodiment, the second deformation part is a second thinning groove provided on the connecting part.

[0021] In this application, by providing a second thinning groove in the second deformation part to change the geometric shape of the connecting part, the plastic deformation path of the material is controlled, so that stress is concentrated in a specific area when stressed, thereby guiding the material to undergo plastic deformation at a preset position. When the force applied by the connecting rod is greater, more important parts in the structure can be better protected from damage. For example, the connecting part and the first deformation part are not damaged.

[0022] In an alternative embodiment, the second thinning groove corresponds to the size of the connecting part, so that the thickness of the connecting part is less than the thickness of the wind-sweeping part.

The width of the first thinning groove is greater than or equal to the width of the second thinning groove, and the width of the transition area is greater than or equal to one-third of the distance between the first thinning groove and the second thinning groove.

[0027] In this application, a transition area is provided between the first thinning groove and the second thinning groove, and the three have the above specific relationship, so that the wind-sweeping part can deform and swing along a preset path.

[0028] In an alternative embodiment, the air deflector, the connecting rod and the plurality of wind-sweeping blades are integrally formed.

[0029] In this application, the air deflector, the connecting rod and all the wind-sweeping blades are integrally formed, so that no assembly is required.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0037] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and understandable, the specific embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0038] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The present embodiment provides an air conditioner, which includes an indoor unit body, a driving component and an air guide component 100. The indoor unit body is provided with an air outlet. The air guide component 100 is installed at the air outlet and connected to the driving component. The driving component can drive the air guide component 100 to realize the partition air supply function.

[0039] It should be noted that the indoor unit body is a part of the wall-mounted indoor unit, which at least includes a chassis, a middle frame, a heat exchanger, an impeller and a panel, etc. Generally, the air outlet is arranged in the middle frame, and the driving component is arranged in the middle frame. The driving component can be a motor driving a gear to rotate, and the gear drives a rack to move. The rack is connected to the air guide component 100 in a transmission manner, so as to realize the partitioned air supply.

[0040] In this embodiment, the wind guide assembly 100 includes a wind guide plate 110, a plurality of wind sweeping blades 130 and a connecting rod 150. The wind guide plate 110 is installed at the air outlet. The wind sweeping blade 130 includes a fixed portion 131 and a wind sweeping portion 133, the fixed portion 131 is connected to one side of the wind sweeping portion 133, and a first deformation portion 135 is provided on a side of the wind sweeping portion 133 close to the fixed portion 131. The wind sweeping portion 133 is provided with a mounting hole 137, and the mounting hole 137 is located at a position of the wind sweeping portion 133 close to the first deformation portion 135. All the wind sweeping blades 130 are connected to the wind guide plate 110 through the fixed portion 131 and are arranged at intervals. The connecting rod 150 is sequentially arranged in all the mounting holes, and the connecting rod 150 is provided with a plurality of connecting parts 151, the plurality of connecting parts 151 are arranged corresponding to the plurality of wind sweeping blades 130, and are connected to the side walls of the corresponding mounting holes 137, and the connecting parts 151 are provided with a second deformation part 153. The connecting rod 150 is transmission-connected with the driving assembly, and the driving assembly can drive the connecting rod 150 to run in the extension direction. When the connecting rod 150 moves, the wind sweeping blade 130 can rotate by deforming the first deformation part 135 and the second deformation part 153.

[0041] In this embodiment, the mounting hole 137 is arranged on the side of the wind sweeping portion 133 close to the first forming portion, and the connecting rod 150 is installed in the mounting hole 137, and connected to the side wall of the mounting hole 137 through the connecting portion 151, so that the connecting rod 150 is closer to the first deformation portion 135 where the wind sweeping portion 133 swings, and the connecting rod 150 can swing the wind sweeping portion 133 to a preset angle with a smaller stroke. As the distance between the connecting rod 150 and the first deformation portion 135 becomes closer, the force required to be applied is greater to make the wind sweeping portion 133 deform and swing along the first deformation portion 135, and the second deformation portion 153 is arranged on the connecting portion 151 to control the deformation path of the connecting portion 151, thereby avoiding the problem of the connecting portion 151 breaking. Secondly, the connecting rod 150 generally moves in a straight line, and the dynamic wind sweeping portion 133 swings, so that the linear motion of the connecting rod 150 is converted into the swing of the pull rod through the deformation of the first deformation portion 135, and the breakage of the connecting portion 151 can be avoided.

[0042] Furthermore, the bottom end of the fixing portion 131 is connected to the wind guide plate 110 and extends upward obliquely, so that the fixing portion 131 is connected to the left side of the wind sweeping portion 133. The lower fixing point where the fixing portion 131 is connected to the wind guide plate 110 is substantially located at the center of the width direction of the wind sweeping portion 133, so that the fixing portion 131 has a higher stability than the bottom connection of the wind sweeping portion 133.

[0043] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In this embodiment, the mounting hole 137 is disposed in the middle of the wind sweeping portion 133 and is biased toward the region of the fixing portion 131 .

[0044] In this embodiment, the mounting hole 137 is arranged in the area of the middle part of the air-sweeping part 133 in the width direction and biased towards the fixing part 131, so that the connecting rod 150 can be closer to the first deformation part 135, and the connecting rod 150 can drive the air-sweeping part 133 to swing with a smaller stroke.

[0045] It should be noted that the mounting hole 137 is arranged in the middle part of the air-sweeping part 133 and in the area biased towards the fixing part 131, which can be understood as dividing the air-sweeping part 133 into two left and right areas by the center line in the width direction of the air-sweeping part 133 ( Figure 2 the dotted line in the middle indicates the center of the air-sweeping part 133). The mounting hole 137 is arranged in the area on the left side of the center line, and the first deformation part 135 and the second deformation part 153 are also both located in the area on the left side.

[0046] Furthermore, the shape of the mounting hole 137 is generally rectangular, and the side wall on the left side of the mounting hole 137 is connected to the side wall on the left side of the connecting rod 150 through the connecting part 151.

[0047] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , in this embodiment, the first deformation part includes a first thinning groove 139. The first thinning groove 139 is arranged on the side of the air-sweeping part 133 close to the fixing part 131, and the top end of the first thinning groove 139 penetrates through the top periphery of the air-sweeping part 133, and the bottom end of the first thinning groove 139 penetrates through the bottom periphery of the air-sweeping part 133. The air-sweeping part 133 is provided with a weight-reducing hole 141 corresponding to the first thinning groove 139, and the weight-reducing hole 141 is arranged in the middle of the first thinning groove 139 in the height direction.

[0048] This embodiment sets the first thinning groove 139, so that the air-sweeping part 133 can more easily swing along the preset first thinning groove 139 after being subjected to an external force. And setting the weight-reducing hole 141 can facilitate deformation while also reducing weight and saving materials.

[0049] In this embodiment, both ends of the first thinning groove 139 extend upward to the right along the outer contour of the air-sweeping part 133, so as to form an overall shape with a narrow middle and wide ends of the first thinning groove 139.

[0050] In this embodiment, the first deformation part 135 further includes a transition inclined surface 143. The transition inclined surface 143 is arranged on the side of the first thinning groove 139 away from the second deformation part 153, and one side is connected to the bottom wall of the first thinning groove 139, and the other side extends towards the surface of the fixing part 131. The thickness of the left side of the first thinning groove 139 gradually changes until it is connected to the fixing part 131, and the thickness of the fixing part 131 is the same, so as to avoid stress concentration.

[0051] This embodiment can disperse stress by setting the transition inclined surface 143 to avoid the problem of stress concentration during the swinging process of the air-sweeping part 133.

[0052] Secondly, a bevel surface for overcoming stress concentration is also provided on the right side of the first thinning groove 139 to achieve a transition, thereby avoiding stress concentration.

[0053] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , in this embodiment, the second deformation portion 153 is a second thinning groove 155 provided on the connecting portion 151.

[0054] In this embodiment, by providing the second thinning groove 155 in the second deformation portion 153 to change the geometric shape of the connecting portion 151, the plastic deformation path of the material is controlled, so that stress is concentrated in a specific area when stressed, thereby guiding the material to plastically deform at a preset position. When the force applied by the connecting rod 150 is greater, more important parts in the structure can be better protected from damage. For example, the connecting portion 151 and the first deformation portion 135 are not damaged.

[0055] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , in this embodiment, the second thinning groove 155 corresponds to the size of the connecting portion 151, so that the thickness of the connecting portion 151 is less than the thickness of the air-sweeping portion 133. That is, the overall thickness of the connecting portion 151 is less than the thickness of the air-sweeping portion 133.

[0056] In this embodiment, the overall thickness of the connecting portion 151 is thinned, so that the connecting portion 151 can better deform along a preset area after being stressed.

[0057] Of course, in some other embodiments of the present application, the second thinning groove 155 may also be provided only locally in the connecting portion 151, for example, in the middle of the width direction along the height direction.

[0058] In this embodiment, the first thinning groove 139 and the second thinning groove 155 are located on the same side of the air-sweeping portion 133.

[0059] In this embodiment, by arranging the first thinning groove 139 and the second thinning groove 155 on the same side, the air-sweeping portion 133 can better swing in a preset manner.

[0060] Of course, in some other embodiments of the present application, the first thinning groove 139 and the second thinning groove 155 may be provided on different sides, for example, one is provided on the front and the other is provided on the back.

[0061] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2, in this embodiment, the first thinning groove 139 and the second thinning groove 155 are arranged at intervals to form a transition region 170 between the first thinning groove 139 and the second thinning groove 155. The width of the first thinning groove 139 is greater than or equal to the width of the second thinning groove 155, and the width of the transition region 170 is greater than or equal to one-third of the distance between the first thinning groove 139 and the second thinning groove 155.

[0062] In this embodiment, a transition region 170 is provided between the first thinning groove 139 and the second thinning groove 155, and the three have the above specific relationship, so that the air-sweeping part 133 can deform and swing along a preset path.

[0063] In this embodiment, the air guide plate 110, the connecting rod 150 and the plurality of air-sweeping blades 130 are integrally formed. Specifically, it can be prepared by an injection molding process.

[0064] In this embodiment, the air guide plate 110, the connecting rod 150 and all the air-sweeping blades 130 are integrally formed, so no assembly is required.

[0065] In summary, in this embodiment, the mounting hole 137 is arranged on the side of the air-sweeping part 133 close to the first forming part, the connecting rod 150 is installed in the mounting hole 137, and is connected to the side wall of the mounting hole 137 through the connecting part 151. In this way, the connecting rod 150 is closer to the first deformation part 135 where the air-sweeping part 133 swings, and the connecting rod 150 can swing the air-sweeping part 133 to a preset angle with a smaller stroke. Since the distance between the connecting rod 150 and the first deformation part 135 becomes closer, a greater force needs to be applied to make the air-sweeping part 133 deform and swing along the first deformation part 135. And a second deformation part 153 is provided at the connecting part 151 to control the deformation path of the connecting part 151, thereby avoiding the problem of fracture of the connecting part 151. Secondly, the connecting rod 150 generally moves in a straight line, and the moving air-sweeping part 133 swings. In this way, the linear motion of the connecting rod 150 is converted into the swing of the pull rod through the deformation of the first deformation part 135, and the fracture of the connecting part 151 can be avoided.

[0066] Although the present invention is disclosed as above, the present invention is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention should be subject to the scope defined by the claims.
