[0034] Combine Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides an air conditioner 10. The air conditioner 10 includes an air conditioner body 200, and the air conditioner body 200 is provided with a wind deflector 210 at the air outlet O2. In combination with Figure 3 As shown, an embodiment of the present application further proposes a diversion structure 100, and the diversion structure 100 is provided on the air conditioner body 200.

[0035] Specifically, in combination with Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the diversion structure 100 includes:

[0036] A driving mechanism 110, and the driving mechanism 110 is used to be provided on the air conditioner body 200;

[0037] A diversion plate 120, the driving mechanism 110 is connected to the diversion plate 120 and is used to drive the diversion plate 120 to move; the diversion plate 120 has a first position. When the diversion plate 120 is in the first position, it blocks the air outlet O2 of the air conditioner body 200 and forms a side air outlet O1 with the wind deflector 210 on the air conditioner body 200, and the side air outlet O1 is located at at least one end in the length direction of the air conditioner body 200.

[0038] In the technical solution of the embodiment of the present application, by providing a driving mechanism 110 on the air conditioner body 200, the driving mechanism 110 drives the diversion plate 120 to move; when the diversion plate 120 moves to the first position, it blocks the air outlet O2 of the air conditioner body 200, preventing hot air or cold air from directly blowing towards the user through the air outlet O2, but blowing out through the side air outlet O1 located at at least one end in the length direction formed by it and the wind deflector 210, reducing the discomfort of the user and improving the user comfort.

[0039] Referring to Figure 1 As shown in an embodiment, after the wind deflector 210 opens the air outlet O2, when the diversion plate 120 is in the first position, the side air outlet O1 formed by the diversion plate 120 and the wind deflector 210 is located at both ends in the length direction, and the hot air or cold air blown out by the air conditioner body 200 blows out through both ends of the side air outlet O1. Due to the blockage of the diversion plate 120, the hot air or cold air will not directly blow towards the user through the air outlet O2.

[0040] Referring to Figure 2 As shown in an embodiment, after the wind deflector 210 opens the air outlet O2, when the diversion plate 120 is not yet in the first position, the hot air or cold air blown out by the air conditioner body 200 blows out directly through the air outlet O2.

[0041] In some embodiments, the user controls whether the deflector 120 needs to be in the first position through an instruction. When starting the air conditioner 10, the air deflector 210 is controlled to open, and at this time, hot air or cold air is directly blown out through the air outlet O2. Further, the user can also select an instruction to control the driving mechanism 110 to drive the deflector 120 to the first position, so that hot air or cold air is blown out from the side air outlet O1 in the length direction.

[0042] In an embodiment, the control instruction can be sent to the air conditioner 10 through an APP, a remote control, etc.

[0043] As an alternative implementation of the above embodiment, a flow splitting groove 121 is provided on the deflector 120, and the flow splitting groove 121 extends along the length direction; the flow splitting groove 121 is located on the side of the deflector 120 facing the air conditioner body 200. In an embodiment, after hot air or cold air is blown out, the flow splitting groove 121 guides the air flow to flow along the length direction, splits the air flow toward the side air outlet O1, and then blows out of the air conditioner 10.

[0044] In some embodiments, as Figure 3 shown, there are a plurality of the flow splitting grooves 121, and the plurality of flow splitting grooves 121 are arranged in parallel. The plurality of flow splitting grooves 121 are spaced along the width direction of the deflector 120 and extend in parallel along the length direction, improving the smoothness of the air flow.

[0045] As an alternative implementation of the above embodiment, the deflector 120 has a first end and a second end in the length direction; the flow splitting groove 121 extends from the first end to the second end. Hot air or cold air can be split by the flow splitting groove 121 to both ends in the length direction, and the air flow is blown out from both ends in the length direction.

[0046] Combined Figure 1 and Figure 3 shown, as an alternative implementation of the above embodiment, the driving mechanism 110 includes: a cover body 111 and a driving component 112. The cover body 111 is provided on the air conditioner body 200. The driving component 112 is provided on the cover body 111; the driving component 112 is used to drive the deflector 120 to move. In an embodiment, the cover body 111 can be reused as the front panel of the air conditioner 10, and it can be buckled, clamped and / or threadedly connected to the air conditioner body 200. The driving component 112 is installed on the cover body 111 and is used to drive the deflector 120 to move.

[0047] In an embodiment, the driving component 112 is configured to drive the flow guide plate 120 to move linearly. For example, the driving component 112 can be a lead screw nut assembly, a gear rack assembly, etc. When air needs to be discharged from both ends, the driving component 112 drives the flow guide plate 120 to move downward; when air needs to be discharged from the front of the air outlet O2, the driving component 112 drives the flow guide plate 120 to move upward.

[0048] As an alternative embodiment of the above embodiment, the driving component 112 includes: a driving member 1121 disposed on the cover body 111; a transmission member 1122 connected to the driving member 1121, and the transmission member 1122 is connected to the flow guide plate 120. In the embodiment, the driving member 1121 can be one of a motor, an electric telescopic rod, a pneumatic cylinder or a hydraulic cylinder. The transmission member 1122 is connected to the driving member 1121 and is configured to convert the power of the driving member 1121 into the power for driving the flow guide plate 120.

[0049] For example, in an embodiment, the driving member 1121 can be a motor, the transmission member 1122 is a gear rack, the motor drives the gear to rotate, and the rack is disposed on the flow guide plate 120; when the motor rotates, the gear rotates to drive the rack to move, thereby realizing the movement of the flow guide plate 120.

[0050] Again, for example, in an embodiment, the driving member 1121 can be an electric / hydraulic or pneumatic telescopic rod, the transmission member 1122 is a link mechanism, and when the electric telescopic rod moves, it drives the link mechanism to move, so that the flow guide plate 120 moves. In a specific embodiment, the driving member 1121 can be an electric telescopic rod.

[0051] As an alternative embodiment of the above embodiment, the transmission member 1122 includes a transmission rod 11221 and a slider 11222; the transmission rod 11221 is connected to the driving member 1121, the slider 11222 is connected to the transmission rod 11221; the slider 11222 is connected to the flow guide plate 120; wherein, a chute 1111 is provided on the cover body 111, and the slider 11222 is disposed in the chute 1111. In the embodiment, the slider 11222 can slide in the chute 1111 to make the movement of the flow guide plate 120 stable.

[0052] Such as Figure 4As shown, both ends of the transmission rod 11221 are respectively rotatably connected to the driving member 1121 and the slider 11222. When the driving member 1121 outputs power, the transmission rod 11221 starts to rotate, and the slider 11222 slides in the chute 1111, so that the flow guide plate 120 moves relative to the cover body 111 and can be switched to the first position. In this embodiment, the driving member 1121 can be an electric / hydraulic / pneumatic telescopic rod. In a specific embodiment, the driving member 1121 is an electric telescopic rod. The transmission rod 11221 is rotatably connected to the electric telescopic rod and the slider 11222. When the electric telescopic rod expands and contracts, the transmission rod 11221 starts to rotate. As the transmission rod 11221 rotates, the slider 11222 slides in the chute 1111, driving the flow guide plate 120 to move.

[0053] In an embodiment, the slider 11222 can be welded to the flow guide plate 120, and the slider 11222 and the flow guide plate 120 can also be fixedly connected by a connecting rod.

[0054] In an embodiment, a fixed block is provided at the end of the electric / hydraulic / pneumatic telescopic rod. One end of the transmission rod 11221 is rotatably arranged on the fixed block, and the other end of the transmission rod 11221 is rotatably arranged on the slider 11222.

[0055] As an alternative implementation of the above embodiment, there are at least two driving components 112, and the at least two driving components 112 are arranged at intervals along the length direction. As Figure 3 shown, two groups of driving components 112 are arranged, which are respectively connected to both ends in the length direction of the flow guide plate 120, so that the movement of the flow guide plate 120 at each position in the length direction is synchronous.

[0056] Combined with Figure 2 and Figure 3 In the structure shown, when the two electric telescopic rods expand and contract, they drive the corresponding transmission rods 11221 to rotate, and the corresponding sliders 11222 slide in the corresponding chutes 1111 respectively, and the flow guide plate 120 moves up or down synchronously at each position in the length direction. For example, when it is necessary to block the air outlet O2, the two electric telescopic rods extend, driving the corresponding transmission rods 11221 to rotate, and the corresponding sliders 11222 slide down in the corresponding chutes 1111 respectively, and the flow guide plate 120 moves down synchronously at each position in the length direction until the air outlet O2 is blocked.

[0057] As an alternative embodiment of the above embodiment, a receiving groove 1112 is provided on the driving mechanism 110; the guiding plate 120 has a second position; the guiding plate 120 in the second position is located in the receiving groove 1112. In the embodiment, the receiving groove 1112 is provided on the cover body 111. When the air outlet O2 does not need to be blocked, the driving mechanism 110 drives the guiding plate 120 to move from the first position to the second position, so that the guiding plate 120 is located in the receiving groove 1112, and the space of the air conditioner body 200 of the air conditioner 10 does not need to be occupied.

[0058] Combined Figure 1 , 2 and Figure 3 As shown, when the air outlet O2 does not need to be blocked, the driving mechanism 110 drives the guiding plate 120 into the receiving groove 1112, in the second position; when the air outlet O2 needs to be blocked, the driving mechanism 110 drives the guiding plate 120 to the first position.

[0059] Referring to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, an air conditioner 10 is further provided in an embodiment of the present application, including an air conditioner body 200 and a guiding structure 100. The guiding structure 100 adopts a part of the technical solutions or technical solutions of the foregoing embodiment, and thus has a part of the technical advantages or all the technical advantages of the foregoing embodiment. In the embodiment, the guiding structure 100 is installed on the air conditioner body 200; specifically, the cover body 111 of the guiding structure 100 can be reused as the front panel of the air conditioner 10, and it is buckled / carded / threadedly connected to the middle frame of the air conditioner body 200. The driving component 112 of the guiding structure 100 is arranged inside the front panel and is hidden. The guiding plate 120 switches positions through the driving component 112. When in the first position, it extends to the air outlet O2 to block the air outlet O2; when in the second position, it retracts into the front panel.

[0060] In the technical solution provided by the embodiment of the present application, when the air conditioner 10 is not running, as Figure 5 shown, the air guiding plate 210 closes the air outlet O2. When the air conditioner 10 is running, the air outlet O2 is opened. As Figure 2 shown, the air flow blows directly from the air outlet O2. At this time, the guiding plate 120 is in the second position; when the air outlet O2 needs to be blocked, the driving mechanism 110 drives the guiding plate 120 to the first position. At this time, the air flow blows out from the side air outlet O1 in the length direction, as Figure 1 shown.

[0061] The above are only alternative embodiments of the present application, and do not limit the patent scope of the present application accordingly. Any equivalent structural transformation made by using the content of the specification and drawings of the present application under the application concept of the present application, or any direct / indirect application in other related technical fields, is included in the patent protection scope of the present application.
