Detailed implementation manners
[0034] Embodiments of the present utility model will be described in detail below. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, where the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements with the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present utility model and should not be construed as a limitation of the present utility model.
[0035] Reference is made below Figures 1 - 9 to describe an air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present utility model.
[0036] Referring to Figures 1 - 3 , an air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present utility model includes a housing component 1, a heat exchanger assembly, a fan assembly, and a wind guiding component 2. The housing component 1 includes a housing 11 and an air outlet frame 12. An air inlet and an air outlet 111 are formed on the housing 11. The air outlet frame 12 is located inside the housing 11 and the air outlet frame 12 has an air outlet channel 125. The heat exchanger assembly and the fan assembly are provided inside the housing 11. The fan assembly is located between the heat exchanger assembly and the air outlet frame 12. When the air conditioner is operating, the fan assembly can drive air flow to enter the housing component 1 through the air inlet and flow towards the heat exchanger assembly. The air after heat exchange by the heat exchanger assembly can flow towards the air outlet 111 through the air outlet channel 125, and then be blown out through the air outlet 111 into the room to cool or heat the room.
[0037] The wind guiding component 2 is rotatably connected to the air outlet frame 12 and the wind guiding component 2 is located inside the air outlet channel 125. The rotation axis of the wind guiding component 2 extends along a first direction (for example, the e1 direction in Figure 1 can be referred to), for example, the first direction can be the up and down direction. The wind guiding component 2 is located inside the air outlet channel 125 and can guide the air flow inside the air outlet channel 125, enabling the air flow to flow towards the air outlet 111 more smoothly, reducing the loss during the air flow process, and being beneficial to improving the air volume; moreover, the wind guiding component 2 is rotatably connected to the air outlet frame 12, and by adjusting the rotation amplitude of the wind guiding component 2, the direction of the air flow at the air outlet 111 can be adjusted.
[0038] Among them, the air guiding component 2 is provided with a first limiting structure 21, and the air outlet frame 12 is provided with a second limiting structure 121. When the air guiding component 2 rotates to the first set angular position, the first limiting structure 21 contacts the second limiting structure 121 in the rotation direction of the air guiding component 2. The air guiding component 2 being provided with the first limiting structure 21 can, to a certain extent, enhance the overall structural strength of the air guiding component 2. The air outlet frame 12 being provided with the second limiting structure 121 can, to a certain extent, enhance the overall structural strength of the air outlet frame 12. The contact connection between the first limiting structure 21 and the second limiting structure 121 can make the connection mode between the first limiting structure 21 and the second limiting structure 121 simple and have strong stability. Moreover, through the contact between the first limiting structure 21 and the second limiting structure 121, it can play a role in limiting the rotation of the air guiding component 2. When the air guiding component 2 rotates to the first set angular position, it can make the air guiding component 2 more stably maintain at the first set angular position, reducing or preventing the air guiding component 2 from continuing to swing or rotate, which is beneficial to enhancing the stability during the operation of the air conditioner.
[0039] For example, during the use of the air conditioner, the air guiding component 2 rotates relative to the air outlet frame 12. The air guiding component 2 is located at the first set angular position. Through the contact between the first limiting structure 21 and the second limiting structure 121, it can make the air guiding component 2 more stably maintain at the first set angular position so that the air flow at the air outlet 111 can more stably maintain in the set direction and blow out; for another example, when the air conditioner is in the shutdown state, the air guiding component 2 is located at the first set angular position. Through the contact between the first limiting structure 21 and the second limiting structure 121, it can make the air guiding component 2 more stably maintain at the first set angular position, and can make the air guiding component 2 more stably maintain at the first set angular position, reducing or preventing the possibility of the air guiding component 2 from continuing to swing or rotate, which is beneficial to enhancing the stability of the air conditioner.
[0040] Optionally, the air guiding component 2 includes an air guiding grille 24. The air guiding grille 24 is rotatably connected to the air outlet frame 12. The first limiting structure 21 is arranged on the air guiding grille 24. The air guiding grille 24 can play a role in supporting and fixing the first limiting structure 21, and the air guiding grille 24 can enhance the overall structural strength of the air guiding component 2.
[0041] Optionally, the air guiding component 2 further includes a louver mechanism 25. The louver mechanism 25 is arranged on the air guiding grille 24. The louver mechanism 25 includes a connecting rod 251 and a plurality of louver blades 252. The plurality of louver blades 252 are arranged along the first direction. The plurality of louver blades 252 are rotatably connected to the connecting rod 251 and the louver blades 252 are rotatably connected to the air guiding grille 24. By driving the connecting rod 251 to move to adjust the rotation amplitude of the louver blades 252, the flow direction and air flow rate of the air flow passing through the air guiding grille 24 can be adjusted, and further, the air flow direction at the air outlet 111 can be adjusted.
[0042] In the description of the present utility model, "a plurality of" means two or more.
[0043] According to the air conditioner of the embodiment of the present utility model, when the air deflector member 2 rotates to the first set angular position, the first limiting structure 21 contacts the second limiting structure 121 in the rotation direction of the air deflector member 2, which can limit the rotation of the air deflector member 2, and can make the air deflector member 2 more stably maintained at the first set angular position, reducing or preventing the possibility of the air deflector member 2 continuing to swing or rotate, which is beneficial to enhancing the stability of the air conditioner.
[0044] Refer to Figure 4 、 Figure 5 and Figure 8 According to some embodiments of the present utility model, the two sides of the air deflector member 2 along the first direction have a first surface 22, the first limiting structure 21 is provided on the first surface 22, the plane where the first surface 22 is located is the rotation plane of the air deflector member 2, and in the first direction, the second limiting structure 121 is located on the side of the rotation plane away from the air deflector member 2. Before the air deflector member 2 rotates to the first set angular position, by the second limiting structure 121 being located on the side of the rotation plane away from the air deflector member 2, the air deflector member 2 can rotate more smoothly, and when the air deflector member 2 rotates to the first set angular position, by the second limiting structure 121 contacting the first limiting structure 21, it can limit the air deflector member 2 to continue rotating or swinging, so that the air deflector member 2 is more stably maintained at the first set angular position.
[0045] Refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 According to some embodiments of the present utility model, the second limiting structure 121 is formed as a convex column, which can enhance the overall structural strength of the air outlet frame 12 to a certain extent, and the second limiting structure 121 is formed as a convex column, which can make the structure of the second limiting structure 121 simple and convenient for manufacturing. When the air deflector member 2 rotates to the first set angular position, by the second limiting structure 121 being formed as a convex column, it is convenient for the first limiting structure 21 to contact the second limiting structure 121 to limit the air deflector member 2.
[0046] Refer to Figure 4 、 Figure 5 and Figure 8, according to some embodiments of the present utility model, the first limiting structure 21 is formed as a rib, and the first limiting structure 21 extends in a direction from the rotation axis of the air guiding member 2 to the outer peripheral edge of the air guiding member 2. The first limiting structure 21 being formed as a rib can, to a certain extent, enhance the overall structural strength of the air guiding member 2, reduce or avoid the possibility of deformation of the air guiding member 2, and the first limiting structure 21 extending in a direction from the rotation axis of the air guiding member to the outer peripheral edge of the air guiding member 2 can increase the contact area between the first limiting structure 21 and the second limiting structure 121. Furthermore, when the air guiding member 2 rotates to the first set angular position, the connection stability between the first limiting structure 21 and the second limiting mechanism can be enhanced, thereby enhancing the limiting effect on the air guiding member 2 to limit the continuous rotation or swinging of the air guiding member 2.
[0047] Refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8 , according to some embodiments of the present utility model, a rotating shaft 23 is provided on the first surface 22, and a rotating hole 13 is provided on the air outlet frame 12. The rotating shaft 23 is rotatably received in the rotating hole 13, and the first limiting structure 21 is connected to the rotating shaft 23. The rotating hole 13 can facilitate the accommodation of the rotating shaft 23 therein and can make the overall structure of the air outlet frame 12 and the air guiding member 2 compact. When the air guiding member 2 rotates to the first set position, the first limiting structure 21 contacts the second limiting structure 121. By connecting the first limiting structure 21 to the rotating shaft 23, the continuous rotation of the rotating shaft 23 can be directly restricted, thereby restricting the continuous rotation or swinging of the air guiding member 2.
[0048] Refer to Figure 4 and Figure 8 , according to some embodiments of the present utility model, the rotating shaft 23 includes a first shaft section 231 and a second shaft section 233 arranged along a first direction. The first shaft section 231 is connected to the air guiding member 2, the second shaft section 233 is connected to the side of the first shaft section 231 away from the air guiding member 2, the second shaft section 233 is rotatably received in the rotating hole 13, and the first shaft section 231 is connected to the first limiting structure 21. The second shaft section 233 being rotatably received in the rotating hole 13 can achieve the rotatable connection between the air guiding member 2 and the air outlet frame 12; and, the connection between the first limiting structure 21 and the first shaft section 231 can enhance the overall structural strength of the air guiding member 2.
[0049] Refer to Figure 5 and Figure 8, according to some embodiments of the present utility model, the first surface 22 has a first side 221 and a second side 224 which are oppositely arranged, and a third side 225 and a fourth side 226 which are oppositely arranged. A rotating shaft 23 is provided on the first surface 22. In the direction from the third side 225 to the fourth side 226, both the rotating shaft 23 and the first limiting structure 21 are located in the middle of the air guiding member 2. Relative to the second side 224, the rotating shaft 23 is closer to the first side 221. The air outlet frame 12 is provided with a rotating hole 13, and the rotating shaft 23 is rotatably received in the rotating hole 13. The first limiting structure 21 extends in the direction from the first side 221 to the second side 224. In the direction from the third side 225 to the fourth side 226, both the rotating shaft 23 and the first limiting structure 21 are located in the middle of the air guiding member 2, and the first limiting structure 21 extends in the direction from the first side 221 to the second side 224, which can enable the air guiding member 2 to freely rotate relative to the air outlet frame 12 around the rotating shaft 23 within a certain range, and the first limiting structure 21 can limit the rotation range of the air guiding member 2. When the air guiding member 2 rotates around the rotating shaft 23 to the first set position, by contacting the first limiting structure 21 with the second limiting structure 121, it can control the air guiding member 2 to be located at the first set position and limit the air guiding member 2 to continue rotating or swinging around the rotating shaft 23.
[0050] Referring to Figure 4 and Figure 5 , according to some embodiments of the present utility model, when the air conditioner is in the shutdown state, the air guiding member 2 is located at the first set angle position. When the air conditioner is in the shutdown state, by contacting the first limiting structure 21 with the second limiting structure 121 to make the air guiding member 2 located at the first set angle position, it can make the air guiding member 2 more stably maintained at the first set angle position, and when the air conditioner switches from the shutdown state to the startup state each time, the air guiding member 2 can start rotating from the first set angle position, which is convenient for the user to control the rotation angle of the air guiding member 2.
[0051] For example, a movable switch door 14 is provided at the air outlet 111. The switch door 14 is used to open or close the air outlet 111. When the air guiding member 2 rotates to the first set angle position, the air guiding member 2 is located on the side of the air outlet passage 125 away from the air outlet 111. When the air conditioner is in the shutdown state, the switch door 14 is in the closed position to close the air outlet 111. By the air guiding member 2 being located at the first set angle position, the possibility of interference and damage between the switch door 14 and the air guiding member 2 can be reduced or prevented.
[0052] In addition, third driving mechanisms 141 are provided on both sides of the switch door 14 along the first direction. The third driving mechanisms 141 can drive the switch door 14 to move circumferentially along the air outlet frame 12 to open or close the air outlet 111.
[0053] Referring to Figure 9, according to some embodiments of the present utility model, the air outlet frame 12 is further provided with a third limiting structure 122. When the air guiding member 2 rotates to the second set angle position, the first limiting structure 21 contacts the third limiting structure 122 in the rotation direction of the air guiding member 2, and the second set angle position is spaced apart from the first set angle position in the rotation direction of the air guiding member 2. When the air guiding member 2 rotates to the second set angle position, the contact between the third limiting structure 122 and the first limiting structure 21 can limit the air guiding member 2 to prevent it from continuing to rotate or swing. By the contact between the first limiting structure 21 and the third limiting structure 122, the air guiding member 2 is located at the second set angle position, which can make the air guiding member 2 more stably maintained at the second set angle position.
[0054] For example, the third limiting structure 122 can be formed as a convex column, which can enhance the overall structural strength of the air outlet frame 12 to a certain extent. And when the third limiting structure 122 is formed as a convex column, the structure of the third limiting structure 122 is simple and convenient for manufacturing. When the air guiding member 2 rotates to the first set angle position, by forming the third limiting structure 122 as a convex column, it is convenient for the first limiting structure 21 to contact the third limiting structure 122 to limit the air guiding member 2.
[0055] Refer to Figure 5 and Figure 9 , according to some embodiments of the present utility model, the angle α that the air guiding member 2 rotates between the second set angle position and the first set angle position ranges from 180° to 330°. For example, the angle α that the air guiding member 2 rotates between the second set angle position and the first set angle position can be 180°, 200°, 250°, 300°, 330°, etc. By making the angle α that the air guiding member 2 rotates between the second set angle position and the first set angle position not less than 180°, the overall air guiding effect of the air guiding member 2 can be enhanced. When the air guiding member rotates to the second set angle position, the air flow in the air outlet channel 125 can flow through the air guiding member 2 as smoothly as possible to the air outlet 111, so as to effectively guide the air flow in the air outlet channel 125. By making the angle α that the air guiding member 2 rotates between the second set angle position and the first set angle position not more than 330°, after the air flow in the air outlet channel 125 is guided by the air guiding member 2, it can be blown out towards the air outlet 111 as much as possible.
[0056] By the angle α that the air guiding member 2 rotates between the second set angle position and the first set angle position ranging from 180° to 330°, the overall air guiding effect of the air guiding member 2 can be enhanced, and the air flow in the air outlet channel 125 can flow through the air guiding member 2 as smoothly as possible to the air outlet 111, so as to effectively guide the air flow in the air outlet channel 125.
[0057] Referring to Figure 3 , according to some embodiments of the present utility model, the air outlet frame 12 includes an air outlet frame body 123 and a partition block 124. An air outlet channel 125 is provided in the air outlet frame body 123. The partition block 124 is arranged in the air outlet channel 125 to divide the air outlet channel 125 into a plurality of air outlet areas arranged along a first direction. Rotatable air guiding members 2 are respectively provided in the plurality of air outlet areas. By dividing the air outlet channel 125 into a plurality of air outlet areas arranged along the first direction through the partition block 124, and rotatable air guiding members 2 are respectively provided in each air outlet area, the air flow direction in each air outlet area can be adjusted respectively.
[0058] Referring to Figure 3 , according to some embodiments of the present utility model, the driving mechanism for driving the air guiding member 2 to rotate is a first driving mechanism. There are a plurality of first driving mechanisms, the number of the first driving mechanisms is the same as that of the air guiding members 2, and the first driving mechanisms and the air guiding members 2 correspond to each other one by one. Each first driving mechanism is connected to the corresponding air guiding member 2. The first driving mechanism can drive the air guiding member 2 to rotate to adjust the air flow direction at the air outlet 111. Since there are a plurality of first driving mechanisms, the number of the first driving mechanisms is the same as that of the air guiding members 2, and the first driving structures and the air guiding members 2 correspond to each other one by one, the rotation angles of the air guiding members 2 in each air outlet area can be respectively driven, and further, the independent adjustment of the air flow direction in each air outlet area can be realized, so that it is convenient for the user to adjust the air flow direction of each air outlet area according to the actual situation, which is beneficial to improving the user experience.
[0059] For example, the air guiding members 2 in each air outlet area can rotate synchronously; for another example, the air guiding members 2 in each air outlet area can rotate at different speeds in the same direction; for still another example, the air guiding members 2 in each air outlet area can rotate in different directions.
[0060] Referring to Figure 3 , according to some embodiments of the present utility model, each air guiding member 2 includes an air guiding grille 24 and a louver mechanism 25. The air guiding grille 24 is rotatably connected to the air outlet frame 12. A first limiting structure 21 is arranged on the air guiding grille 24. The louver mechanism 25 is arranged on the air guiding grille 24. The louver mechanism 25 includes a connecting rod 251 and a plurality of louver blades 252. The plurality of louver blades 252 are arranged along the first direction. The plurality of louver blades 252 are rotatably connected to the connecting rod 251 and the louver blades 252 are rotatably connected to the air guiding grille 24. The connecting rods 251 in two adjacent air guiding members 2 are connected by a connecting column. The connecting rods 251 in two adjacent air guiding members 2 are rotatably connected to the corresponding connecting column. The driving mechanism for driving the louver mechanism 25 to move is a second driving mechanism. The louver mechanisms 25 of the plurality of air guiding members 2 share one second driving mechanism.
[0061] The second driving mechanism can drive the connecting rod 251 to move, thereby adjusting the rotation amplitude of the louver blade 252, and can adjust the flow direction and air flow rate of the air flowing through the air guide grille 24, and further can adjust the air flow direction at the air outlet 111. Since the connecting rods 251 in two adjacent air guide components 2 are connected by a connecting column, and the louver mechanisms 25 of multiple air guide components 2 share a second driving mechanism, a second driving mechanism can drive the louver blades 252 in multiple air guide components 2 to move synchronously through the connecting rod 251 and the connecting column, so as to further adjust the air flow direction and air flow rate in each air outlet area.
[0062] For example, when the air guide components 2 in adjacent air outlet areas rotate in different directions, since the connecting rods 251 in two adjacent air guide components 2 are rotatably connected to the corresponding connecting columns, a second driving mechanism can also drive the louver blades 252 in adjacent air outlet areas to move synchronously.
[0063] Referring to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , according to some embodiments of the present invention, both sides of the air guide grille 24 along the first direction have a first surface 22, a rotating shaft 23 is provided on the first surface 22, and rotating holes 13 are provided on both the air outlet frame body 123 and the partition block 124. The rotating shaft 23 is rotatably received in the corresponding rotating hole 13, and a through hole 234 for the connecting column to pass through is provided in the rotating shaft 23. The rotating hole 13 can facilitate the accommodation of the rotating shaft 23 therein, thereby facilitating the assembly between the air outlet frame 12 and the air guide grille 24, and can make the overall structure of the air outlet frame 12 and the air guide grille 24 compact. The through hole 234 can facilitate the assembly of the connecting column on the air guide grille 24, and can make the overall structure of the connecting column and the air guide grille 24 compact.

The partition block 124 is arranged inside the air outlet channel 125 to divide the air outlet channel 125 into a plurality of air outlet areas arranged along a first direction, and rotatable air guiding components 2 are respectively arranged in the plurality of air outlet areas.
[0068] The driving mechanism for driving the air guiding component 2 to rotate is a first driving mechanism. There are a plurality of first driving mechanisms, and the number of the first driving mechanisms is the same as that of the air guiding components 2 and they are respectively in one-to-one correspondence. Each first driving mechanism is connected to the corresponding air guiding component 2.
[0069] Each air guiding component 2 includes an air guiding grille 24 and a louver mechanism 25. The air guiding grille 24 is rotatably connected to the air outlet frame 12. A first limiting structure 21 is arranged on the air guiding grille 24. The louver mechanism 25 is arranged on the air guiding grille 24. The louver mechanism 25 includes a connecting rod 251 and a plurality of louver blades 252. The plurality of louver blades 252 are arranged along the first direction. The plurality of louver blades 252 are rotatably connected to the connecting rod 251 and rotatably connected to the air guiding grille 24. The connecting rods 251 in two adjacent air guiding components 2 are connected by a connecting column. The driving mechanism for driving the louver mechanism 25 to move is a second driving mechanism, and the louver mechanisms 25 of the plurality of air guiding components 2 share one second driving mechanism.
[0070] The air guiding component 2 is provided with a first limiting structure 21, and the first limiting structure 21 is formed as a convex rib. Both sides of the air guiding component 2 along the first direction have a first surface 22, and the first limiting structure 21 is arranged on the first surface 22. The plane where the first surface 22 is located is the rotation plane of the air guiding component 2. In the first direction, the second limiting structure 121 is located on the side of the rotation plane far from the air guiding component 2.
[0071] A rotating shaft 23 is arranged on the first surface 22. The rotating shaft 23 is rotatably received in the corresponding rotation hole 13 of the air outlet frame 12. The rotating shaft 23 has a through hole 234 for the connecting column to pass through, and the rotating shaft 23 includes a first shaft section 231 and a second shaft section 233 arranged along the first direction.

[0073] When the air conditioner is in the shutdown state, the air guiding component 2 is located at the first set angle position.
[0074] When the air guiding component 2 rotates to the first set angle position, the first limiting structure 21 contacts the second limiting structure 121 in the rotation direction of the air guiding component 2, which can limit the air guiding component 2 and prevent it from continuing to rotate or swing; when the air guiding component 2 rotates to the second set angle position, the first limiting structure 21 contacts the third limiting structure 122, which can limit the air guiding component 2 and prevent it from continuing to rotate or swing. By having the first set angle position and the second set angle position, the rotation angle range of the air guiding component 2 can be effectively limited. And when the air guiding component 2 rotates to the set angle position, it contacts the corresponding limiting structure to limit the air guiding component 2 from continuing to move or swing, so that the air guiding component 2 can be more stably maintained at the first set angle position or the second set angle position.
