[0022] Initial state and preparation:

[0023] The air deflector 1 is at the air outlet of the air conditioner, and is connected to the air conditioner housing through the rotating shaft 4 and the rotating sleeve 203, and can rotate within a certain range to adjust the wind direction; the first self-locking component 2 and the second self-locking component 3 are respectively fixed at one end and the middle position of the inner side of the air deflector 1, and the two are located on the same axis. The first locking post 205 and the second locking post 305 are respectively inserted into the rotating sleeve 203 of the first self-locking component 2 and the guiding hole 303 of the second self-locking component 3, and are ready to match the positioning lock hole on the air conditioner housing; the first electric telescopic rod 206 and the second electric telescopic rod 306 are respectively connected to the first movable plate 204 and the second movable plate 304, and are in the standby state.

[0024] Locking process:

[0025] When it is necessary to lock the air deflector 1, the first electric telescopic rod 206 and the second electric telescopic rod 306 are started simultaneously. The movable rod of the first electric telescopic rod 206 extends forward, pushing the first movable plate 204 to slide forward along the first fixed seat 201; the first locking column 205 is driven by the first movable plate 204 to move forward, so that the front end of the first locking column 205 extends out of the rotary sleeve 203 and is inserted into the positioning lock hole on the air conditioner housing; at the same time, the movable rod of the second electric telescopic rod 306 also extends forward, pushing the second movable plate 304 to slide forward along the second fixed seat 301; the second locking column 305 is driven by the second movable plate 304 to move forward, so that the front end of the second locking column 305 extends out of the guide hole 303 and is inserted into another positioning lock hole on the air conditioner housing; in this way, the first locking column 205 and the second locking column 305 lock the air deflector 1 on the air conditioner housing at the same time, preventing it from moving due to external force.

[0026] Unlocking process:

[0027] When it is necessary to unlock the air deflector 1, the first electric telescopic rod 206 and the second electric telescopic rod 306 are started in the reverse direction at the same time. The movable rod of the first electric telescopic rod 206 retracts, pulling the first movable plate 204 to retract along the first fixed seat 201. The first locking column 205 is driven by the first movable plate 204 to reset, so that the front end of the first locking column 205 withdraws from the positioning lock hole of the air conditioner housing; at the same time, the movable rod of the second electric telescopic rod 306 also retracts and pulls the second movable plate 304 to slide along the second fixed seat 301; the second locking column 305 is driven by the second movable plate 304 to retract and reset, so that the front end of the second locking column 305 withdraws from the positioning lock hole of the air conditioner housing; in this way, the first locking column 205 and the second locking column 305 release the lock on the air deflector 1 at the same time, enabling it to rotate freely to adjust the wind direction.

[0028] Through the above locking and unlocking processes, this air deflector 1 for an air conditioner with a locking structure can be firmly locked in a specific position when needed, preventing accidental movement due to external force; at the same time, it can also be easily unlocked and freely adjust the wind direction when needed, meeting the diverse needs of users for air conditioner use.

[0029] Please refer to Figure 2 、 Figure 3 As an embodiment of the present invention, the front end of the first locking column 205 penetrates through the rotary sleeve 203 and extends outward, and a plurality of first spring lock beads 207 are provided on the outer wall of the front end of the first locking column 205 along its circumferential direction.

[0030] In the above-described solution, a plurality of first spring lock beads 207 are installed along the circumferential direction of the front outer wall of the first lock post 205. These first spring lock beads 207 can move in the radial direction of the first lock post 205 and remain in a state of protruding outward when not under force. When the movable rod of the first electric telescopic rod 206 extends forward and pushes the first movable plate 204 to slide forward, the first lock post 205 moves forward accordingly. Among them, the first spring lock beads 207 provided on the front side wall of the first lock post 205 gradually approach the positioning lock hole on the air conditioner housing. When the front end of the first lock post 205 is inserted into the positioning lock hole, the first spring lock beads 207 are squeezed by the hole wall and contract inward. Once the first lock post 205 is completely inserted into the positioning lock hole, the first spring lock beads 207 protrude outward again due to the restoring force of the spring without external force and snap into the edge of the positioning lock hole to form a lock. In the locked state, the first spring lock beads 207 are tightly engaged with the edge of the positioning lock hole, preventing the first lock post 205 from accidentally withdrawing, which ensures that the air deflector 1 will not move due to external force in the locked state, improving the stability and safety of use. When it is necessary to unlock the air deflector 1, the movable rod of the first electric telescopic rod 206 retracts, pulling the first movable plate 204 to slide. Among them, the first lock post 205 retracts and resets accordingly. When the first electric telescopic rod 206 provides sufficient pulling force, the first spring lock beads 207 are compressed, allowing the front end of the first lock post 205 to withdraw from the positioning lock hole. Once the first lock post 205 completely withdraws from the positioning lock hole, the first spring lock beads 207 protrude outward again without external force and return to the initial state. Through such a design, the locking and unlocking process between the first lock post 205 and the positioning lock hole is more reliable and stable, ensuring that the air deflector 1 can be firmly locked in a specific position when needed, or can be easily unlocked and the air direction can be freely adjusted when needed.

[0031] Please refer to Figure 3 , as an embodiment of the present utility model, a first guiding slide rail 5 is provided at the upper end of the first fixed seat 201. Among them, a first sliding groove 6 adapted to the first guiding slide rail 5 is opened at the lower end of the first movable plate 204. First limiting blocks 7 are symmetrically installed on both sides of the first guiding slide rail 5. Among them, first limiting slots 8 adapted to the first limiting blocks 7 are symmetrically opened on both sides of the first sliding groove 6.

[0032] In the above-described solution, the first guiding slide rail 5 is fixed to the upper end of the first fixing base 201, providing a definite sliding path for the first movable plate 204. A first sliding groove 6 is opened at the lower end of the first movable plate 204, and the shape and size of the first sliding groove 6 are adapted to those of the first guiding slide rail 5, enabling the first movable plate 204 to slide smoothly along the first guiding slide rail 5. First limiting blocks 7 are symmetrically installed on both sides of the first guiding slide rail 5, and the first limiting blocks 7 play a role in restricting the sliding range of the first movable plate 204. First limiting slots 8 adapted to the first limiting blocks 7 are also symmetrically opened on both sides of the first sliding groove 6. When the first movable plate 204 slides along the first guiding slide rail 5, the first limiting blocks 7 will be inserted into the first limiting slots 8, thereby preventing the first movable plate 204 from falling off the first guiding slide rail 5 and ensuring the stability and reliability of its sliding.

[0033] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 4 , as an embodiment of the present utility model, a plurality of second spring lock beads 307 are provided along the circumferential direction of the outer wall of the front end of the second locking post 305.

[0034] In the above-described solution, by installing a plurality of second spring lock beads 307 along the circumferential direction on the outer wall of the front end of the second locking post 305, the second spring lock beads 307 can move in the radial direction of the second locking post 305 and remain in a state of protruding outward when not under force. When the movable rod of the second electric telescopic rod 306 extends forward to push the second movable plate 304 to slide forward, the second locking post 305 moves accordingly. The second spring lock beads 307 provided on the outer wall of the second locking post 305 gradually approach the positioning lock hole on the air conditioner housing. When the front end of the second locking post 305 is inserted into the positioning lock hole, the second spring lock beads 307 are squeezed by the hole wall and contract inward. Once the second locking post 305 is completely inserted into the positioning lock hole, the second spring lock beads 307 protrude outward again due to the restoring force of the spring without external force and are stuck into the edge of the positioning lock hole to form a lock, preventing the second locking post 305 from accidentally withdrawing and ensuring that the air deflector 1 will not move due to external force in the locked state, improving the stability and safety of use. When it is necessary to unlock the air deflector 1, the movable rod of the second electric telescopic rod 306 retracts to pull the second movable plate 304 back to its original position, and the second locking post 305 moves accordingly. When the second electric telescopic rod 306 provides sufficient pulling force, the second spring lock beads 307 are compressed, allowing the front end of the second locking post 305 to withdraw from the positioning lock hole. Once the second locking post 305 completely withdraws from the positioning lock hole, the second spring lock beads 307 protrude outward again without external force and return to the initial state. The presence of the second spring lock beads 307 ensures that the second locking post 305 can be firmly locked in position after being inserted into the positioning lock hole, preventing accidental movement caused by external force.

[0035] Please refer to Figure 4 , as an embodiment of the present utility model, a second guiding slide rail 9 is provided at the upper end of the second fixing seat 301, and a second sliding groove 10 adapted to the second guiding slide rail 9 is opened at the lower end of the second movable plate 304; second limiting blocks 11 are symmetrically installed on both sides of the second guiding slide rail 9, and second limiting slots 12 adapted to the second limiting blocks 11 are symmetrically opened on both sides of the second sliding groove 10.

[0036] In the above-mentioned solution, the second guiding slide rail 9 is fixed at the upper end of the second fixing seat 301, providing a definite sliding path for the second movable plate 304. A second sliding groove 10 is opened at the lower end of the second movable plate 304, and the shape and size of the second sliding groove 10 are adapted to those of the second guiding slide rail 9, enabling the second movable plate 304 to slide smoothly along the second guiding slide rail 9; by symmetrically installing the second limiting blocks 11 on both sides of the second guiding slide rail 9, the second limiting blocks 11 play a role in restricting the sliding range of the second movable plate 304; second limiting slots 12 adapted to the second limiting blocks 11 are also symmetrically opened on both sides of the second sliding groove 10. When the second movable plate 304 slides along the second guiding slide rail 9, the second limiting blocks 11 will be embedded into the second limiting slots 12, preventing the second movable plate 304 from falling off the second guiding slide rail 9 and ensuring the stability and reliability of its sliding.
