Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of the air conditioner air deflector structure, and particularly relates to an air deflector installation structure and an air conditioner. Background Art

[0002] A wall-mounted air conditioner generally has functions of up-and-down air sweeping and left-and-right air sweeping. Among them, the left-and-right air sweeping is realized by controlling the left-and-right swinging of the air deflector. In the prior art, the air deflector is rotationally clamped on the bracket. Specifically, a column is connected to the lower end of the air deflector, a convex block is arranged on the side wall of the column, an installation hole is formed in the bracket, and a notch for the convex block to pass through is formed in the side wall of the installation hole. When the convex block is aligned with the notch, the column can pass through the installation hole, and then the column is rotated to make the convex block clamped on the bracket.

[0003] However, when the convex block rotates and aligns with the notch, there will be a problem that the air deflector disengages from the bracket. Therefore, if the number of designed convex blocks is large, the rotatable range of the air deflector will be limited; if the number of designed convex blocks is small, the clamping range between the air deflector and the bracket will be small, and there will also be a situation where the air deflector is unstably installed. In addition, a movement gap is provided between the column and the installation hole to facilitate the relative rotation of the air deflector with respect to the bracket. If the movement gap between the column and the bracket is too small, the friction between the column and the bracket will be large, and it will be difficult to drive multiple air deflectors to swing simultaneously; if the movement gap between the column and the bracket is too large, and the number of designed convex blocks is small, the air deflector will be more likely to shake. Summary of the Utility Model

[0004] Aiming at the deficiencies in the prior art, the utility model provides an air deflector installation structure and an air conditioner to solve the problems that if the number of designed convex blocks is large, the rotatable range of the air deflector will be limited; if the number of designed convex blocks is small, the clamping range between the air deflector and the bracket will be small, and there will also be a situation where the air deflector is unstably installed.

[0005] According to an embodiment of the utility model, the following technical scheme is adopted:

[0006] The air deflector installation structure includes a bracket and a connecting member detachably connected to the bracket. The connecting member includes a column for installing the air deflector and a buckle for connecting the column and the bracket. The buckle includes a ring, a connecting rod, and a clamping component arranged in sequence along the axial direction of the column. The clamping component includes a first clamping member and a second clamping member arranged on the connecting rod and distributed along the radial direction of the connecting rod. The distance from the end of the first clamping member to the center of the connecting rod is greater than the distance from the end of the second clamping member to the center of the connecting rod; an installation hole is formed in the bracket, and a clamping ring for the connecting rod to pass through is arranged on the inner wall of the installation hole. The ring and the clamping component are respectively clamped on both sides of the clamping ring, and a notch is formed in the clamping ring for the second connecting member to pass through along the axial direction of the connecting rod.

[0007] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0008] In this solution, the buckle is installed by the ring and the clamping component respectively clamped on both sides of the snap ring. The sizes of the first clamping piece and the second clamping piece are inconsistent, and the length of the first clamping piece is greater than that of the second clamping piece. During assembly, the column is first tilted as a whole so that the first clamping piece can enter below the snap ring from the installation hole, and then the column is gradually adjusted to be vertical and the second clamping piece is aligned with the notch and passes through the notch, and the ring is clamped above the snap ring.

[0009] During the process of the air guide vane driving the column to rotate, when the first clamping piece rotates to the notch, due to the large length of the first clamping piece, it cannot directly disengage from the notch. As long as the second clamping piece is not completely aligned with the notch, plus the clamping of the first clamping piece, the buckle will not disengage from the installation hole, greatly increasing the rotatable range of the column and ensuring the rotatable range of the air guide vane. The first clamping piece and the second clamping piece are distributed radially along the connecting rod, improving the installation stability of the air guide vane.

[0010] Furthermore, the ring and the installation hole are coaxially arranged and in clearance fit.

[0011] Furthermore, the first clamping piece includes a first clamping block fixed on the connecting rod, and the distance from the end of the first clamping block to the center of the connecting rod is greater than the distance from the inner wall of the notch to the center of the snap ring.

[0012] Furthermore, the second clamping piece includes a plurality of second clamping blocks fixed on the connecting rod. One of the second clamping blocks is opposite to the first clamping block radially along the connecting rod, and the distance from the end of the second clamping block to the center of the connecting rod is less than or equal to the distance from the inner wall of the notch to the center of the snap ring.

[0013] Furthermore, the width of the notch is greater than the width of the first clamping block.

[0014] Furthermore, a guiding surface is provided on the side of the second clamping block facing away from the ring, and the free end of the guiding surface is inclined towards the ring side.

[0015] Furthermore, a driving rod is installed on the side of the column, and a driving component for driving the driving rod to swing is installed on the bracket.

[0016] Furthermore, the driving component includes a crank, a swing rod and a movable rod connected in sequence. One end of the swing rod is hinged to the crank, the other end of the swing rod is detachably connected to the movable rod, and the movable rod is hinged to the driving rod.

[0017] Furthermore, a strip-shaped hole is provided at the end of the swing rod, and at least two first clamping grooves are provided in the strip-shaped hole. An insertion block for inserting into the first clamping groove is installed on the movable rod.

[0018] According to the embodiments of the present utility model, the present utility model also adopts the following technical solutions:

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0026] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the specification, and specific embodiments will be given.

[0027] In a first aspect, the present invention discloses a wind guiding piece mounting structure, specifically including the following embodiments:

[0028] As Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 shown, the wind guiding piece mounting structure includes a bracket 7 and a connecting piece detachably connected to the bracket 7. An installation hole 8 for installing the connecting piece is provided on the bracket 7.

[0029] The connector includes a column 10 for mounting the air guide 6 and a clip for connecting the column 10 and the bracket 7. The clip includes a circular ring 11, a connecting rod 13, and a clip assembly arranged in sequence along the axial direction of the column 10. The circular ring 11 and the mounting hole 8 are coaxially arranged and have a clearance fit. The circular ring 11 is clamped in the mounting hole 8 to limit the radial movement of the column 10. At the same time, the circular ring 11 and the inner wall of the mounting hole 8 do not completely fit together, reducing the friction of the circular ring 11 rotating relative to the mounting hole 8. A clip 18 for the connecting rod 13 to pass through is fixed to the inner wall of the mounting hole 8. The circular ring 11 and the clip assembly are respectively clamped on both sides of the clip 18, thereby limiting the axial movement of the column 10 through the clip 18.

[0030] The clamping assembly includes a first clamping part and a second clamping part which are arranged on the connecting rod 13 and distributed radially along the connecting rod 13. The distance from the end of the first clamping part to the center of the connecting rod 13 is greater than the distance from the end of the second clamping part to the center of the connecting rod 13. A notch 17 is provided on the snap ring 18 for the second connecting part to pass through along the axial direction of the connecting rod 13.

[0031] Specifically, the first clamping member includes a first clamping block 14 fixed to the connecting rod 13. The distance between the end of the first clamping block 14 and the center of the connecting rod 13 is greater than the distance between the inner wall of the notch 17 and the center of the clamping ring 18. When installing, the column 10 is tilted as a whole so that the first clamping block 14 can enter under the clamping ring 18 from the mounting hole 8. After the assembly is completed, when the air guide plate 6 drives the column 10 to rotate, the first clamping block 14 cannot be directly detached from the notch 17 when it rotates to the notch 17. Figure 4 Status shown.

[0032] The second clamping member includes a plurality of second clamping blocks 15 fixed to the connecting rod 13, wherein one second clamping block 15 is radially opposite to the first clamping block 14 along the connecting rod 13. The arrangement of the plurality of second clamping blocks 15 enhances the stability of the engagement between the column 10 and the bracket 7. The distance between the end of the second clamping block 15 and the center of the connecting rod 13 is less than or equal to the distance between the inner wall of the notch 17 and the center of the snap ring 18, so that the second clamping block 15 can pass through the notch 17 and enter below the snap ring 18. The width of the notch 17 can accommodate the simultaneous passage of the plurality of second clamping blocks 15. The width of the notch 17 is greater than the width of the first clamping block 14, so that the width range occupied by the plurality of second clamping blocks 15 as a whole is greater than the width of the first clamping block 14. In actual use, even if one of the first clamping blocks 14 is rotated to the notch 17, as long as not all the second clamping blocks 15 are aligned with the notch 17, and the first clamping block 14 is engaged, the buckle will not disengage from the mounting hole 8, thereby increasing the rotation range of the column 10.

[0033] To facilitate the passage of the second clamping block 15 through the notch 17, a guiding surface 16 is provided on the side of the second clamping block 15 facing away from the circular ring 11. The free end of the guiding surface 16 inclines towards the side of the circular ring 11. Through the setting of the guiding surface 16, after the guiding surface 16 is attached to the side wall of the notch 17, the second clamping block 15 can be gradually passed through the notch 17 with the whole column 10 in a vertical state along the guiding surface 16.

[0034] During specific assembly, first tilt the whole column 10 so that the first clamping block 14 can enter below the clamping ring 18 from the mounting hole 8, and then adjust the column 10 to be gradually vertical and align the second clamping block 15 with the notch 17 and pass it through the notch 17. The circular ring 11 is stuck above the clamping ring 18 to complete the assembly. During use, the column 10 rotates with the air guiding vane 6. As long as not all the second clamping blocks 15 are aligned with the notch 17, the cooperation between the first clamping block 14 and the second clamping block 15 can ensure the stable rotation of the column 10.

[0035] In another embodiment of the present utility model, a driving method for driving the air guiding vane 6 to swing is disclosed. Specifically, a driving rod 12 is installed on the side of the column 10. During the actual design process, the driving rod 12 can be directly fixed on the side wall of the column 10 or directly fixed on the air guiding vane 6.

[0036] A driving assembly for driving the driving rod 12 to swing is installed on the bracket 7. Specifically, the driving assembly includes a crank 1, a swing rod 2, and a movable rod 3 connected in sequence. One end of the swing rod 2 is hinged to the crank 1, and the other end of the swing rod 2 is detachably connected to the movable rod 3. Specifically, a strip-shaped hole 4 is opened at the end of the swing rod 2, and at least two first clamping slots are opened in the strip-shaped hole 4. An insertion block 5 for inserting into the first clamping slot is installed on the movable rod 3, that is, the swing rod 2 and the movable rod 3 are clamped. By setting a plurality of first clamping slots to cooperate with the insertion block 5, the movable rod 3 is equivalent to an extension of the swing rod 2, and the movable rod 3 and the swing rod 2 cannot swing relative to each other. However, since the insertion block 5 is not fixed in the first clamping slot, during the movement of the movable rod 3, the insertion block 5 can move a certain distance into the strip-shaped hole 4 on both sides of the first clamping slot.

[0037] The movable rod 3 is hinged to the driving rod 12. Specifically, a second clamping slot 9 for inserting the driving rod 12 is opened on the movable rod 3. Insert the driving rod 12 into the second clamping slot 9, then during the swing of the movable rod 3 along with the swing rod 2, the driving rod 12 is driven to swing, forming a crank-rocker mechanism with the crank 1 as the driving member and the driving rod 12 as the driven member. An opening is provided on the side of the second clamping slot 9, and the width of the opening is smaller than the diameter of the driving rod 12, which is convenient for the installation of the driving rod 12 and the movable rod 3.

[0038] During specific use, the crank 1 is connected to a motor, and the motor drives the crank 1 to rotate. The crank 1 drives the swing rod 2 to swing, and the movable rod 3 swings along with the swing rod 2, thereby driving the driving rod 12 to swing. The swing of the driving rod 12 causes the air deflector 6 to swing, thereby realizing air sweeping.

[0039] In a second aspect, as Figure 5 shown, the present invention also discloses an air conditioner, which includes a body 19, an air deflector 6 installed on the body 19, and an air deflector installation structure. The air deflector installation structure adopts the air deflector installation structure of any one of the above embodiments. Among them, the air deflector 6 is fixedly connected to the column 10, and the bracket 7 is installed inside the body 19.

Moreover, the term "comprising", "including" or any other variant thereof is intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article or device including a series of elements not only includes those elements, but also includes other elements not expressly listed, or further includes elements inherent to such process, method, article or device.

[0041] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and not to limit them. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that the technical solutions of the present invention can be modified or equivalently replaced without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention, and they should all be covered by the scope of the claims of the present invention.
