[0030] During air conditioner operation, the air deflector regulates wind direction and speed, ensuring a more even temperature distribution indoors. Traditional air conditioner air deflectors are prone to contact with the fixed frame during rotation or swinging. This prolonged contact and friction can cause wear on the air deflector, shortening the air conditioner's overall service life. Furthermore, the air deflector's rotation increases noise.

[0031] In view of this, an embodiment of the present invention provides an air conditioner, which prevents interference between the end covering section and the corner by setting a rotation avoidance structure between the inner surface of the end covering section of the air guide panel and the corner of the shell, reduces the contact friction between the end covering section and the corner, thereby reducing the wear of the air guide panel, thereby improving the service life of the air guide panel and the air conditioner, and reducing the noise generated by the air guide panel when rotating.

[0032] In order to better understand the above technical solution, the above technical solution is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0033] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the embodiment of the present invention provides an air conditioner, comprising:

[0034] The housing 10 is provided with an air outlet 11, through which the cooled or heated air can be discharged. A protrusion 12 is provided at at least one end of the air outlet 11, and the protrusion 12 can be used to install a motor or other components. A relief space 13 is formed between at least one side of the protrusion 12 and the side of the air outlet 11 to avoid the rotation of the air guide panel 20. The protrusion 12 has a corner 121 adjacent to the relief space 13. It can be understood that the relief space 13 is formed between the side of the air outlet 11 and the corner 121; and

[0035] The wind guide panel 20 is rotatably arranged at the air outlet 11 and can adjust the wind direction and wind speed of the gas at the air outlet 11. It is understood that, by rotating, the wind guide panel 20 has an open state in which the air outlet 11 is opened and a closed state in which the air outlet 11 is closed. The wind guide panel 20 includes an end covering section 21 provided corresponding to the protrusion 12. When the wind guide panel 20 opens the air outlet 11, the end covering section 21 is at least partially located in the avoidance space 13. It is understood that the provision of the avoidance space 13 can prevent the wind guide panel 20 from interfering with the protrusion 12 when it is opened. When the wind guide panel 20 closes the air outlet 11, the end covering section 21 blocks the protrusion 12.

[0036] A rotation avoidance structure 30 is provided between the inner surface of the end covering section 21 and the corner 121. The rotation avoidance structure 30 can prevent interference between the end covering section 21 and the corner 121 during the switching process of the wind guide panel 20 between the closed state and the open state.

[0037] In the technical solution adopted in this embodiment, a rotation avoidance structure 30 is provided between the inner surface of the end covering section 21 of the air guide panel 20 and the corner 121 of the shell 10. During the switching process of closing the air outlet 11 and opening the air outlet 11, the air guide panel 20 can prevent interference between the end covering section 21 and the corner 121, reduce the contact friction between the end covering section 21 and the corner 121, thereby reducing the wear of the air guide panel 20, and further increasing the service life of the air guide panel 20 and the air conditioner, and can also reduce the noise generated by the air guide panel 20 when rotating.

[0038] In one embodiment of the present invention, referring to Figure 2 The rotation avoidance structure 30 includes an avoidance groove 31 provided on the inner surface of the end cover section 21. Specifically, the rotation avoidance structure 30 includes the avoidance groove 31, which is provided on the inner surface of the end cover section 21. The provision of the avoidance groove 31 can reduce the thickness of the end cover section 21 at the position corresponding to the corner 121. It can be understood that the distance between the position of the end cover section 21 corresponding to the corner 121 and the corner 121 is increased, making it less likely for the wind guide panel 20 to contact the corner 121 during rotation, thereby preventing contact and friction between the wind guide panel 20 and the corner 121, thereby reducing wear on the wind guide panel 20.

[0039] In one embodiment of the present invention, the width of the avoidance groove 31 decreases in the depth direction. The closer the wind deflector panel 20 is to the corner 121, the more likely it is to interfere. Therefore, the width of the avoidance groove 31 is wider at the end closer to the corner 121 than at the end farther from the corner 121. This provides sufficient space near the corner 121 to avoid the outer periphery of the corner 121, effectively preventing interference between the corner 121 and the end cover section 21. Furthermore, the width of the avoidance groove 31 is smaller at the end farther from the corner 121, which reduces the adverse effects of the groove on the overall structure of the wind deflector panel 20.

[0040] In one embodiment of the present invention, the inner surface of the end covering section 21 transitions smoothly with the avoidance groove 31 , so that the wind guide panel 20 can avoid the corner 121 more smoothly when rotating, effectively reducing direct contact and friction between the two, thereby significantly reducing the wear of the wind guide panel 20 .

[0041] In one embodiment of the present invention, the groove depth of the avoidance groove 31 ranges from 2 mm to 5 mm. The greater the groove depth of the avoidance groove 31, the less likely it is to contact the corner 121. Taking into account the adverse effects of grooving on the structural strength of the wind guide panel 20, the groove depth of the avoidance groove 31 is between 2 mm and 5 mm. In this way, it can effectively prevent interference between the end covering section 21 of the wind guide panel 20 and the corner 121 while ensuring the structural strength of the wind guide panel 20. Specifically, the groove depth of the avoidance groove 31 can be 2 mm, 5 mm, or 3 mm, and can be selected according to actual application needs, and is not limited here.

[0042] In one embodiment of the present invention, referring to Figure 3 The rotation avoidance structure 30 includes an avoidance chamfer 32 provided at the corner 121. This allows the wind deflector panel 20 to more flexibly bypass the corner 121 during rotation, reducing direct contact or friction between the wind deflector panel 20 and the corner 121 during rotation, avoiding rotation resistance caused by right-angle collisions, and improving the smoothness of the wind deflector panel 20's rotation.

[0043] In one embodiment of the present invention, referring to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The rotation avoidance structure 30 includes an avoidance groove 31 provided on the inner surface of the end covering section 21, and an avoidance chamfer 32 provided at the corner 121. Specifically, by providing the avoidance groove 31 on the inner surface of the end covering section 21, the direct contact between the air guide panel 20 and the corner 121 during the rotation process is effectively avoided, thereby reducing the wear of the air guide panel 20. At the same time, the avoidance chamfer 32 is added at the corner 121 to further reduce the friction between the air guide panel 20 and the corner 121, making the movement of the entire air guide panel 20 smoother. It can be understood that through the dual design of the avoidance groove 31 and the avoidance chamfer 32, the contact friction between the air guide panel 20 and the corner 121 is significantly reduced, the service life of the air conditioner is extended, the quiet performance of the air conditioner during operation is improved, and a more comfortable use environment can be provided for users.

[0044] In one embodiment of the present invention, referring to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The protrusion 12 is recessed relative to the outer edge of the air outlet 11, forming a mounting step 14 between the protrusion 12 and the end edge of the air outlet 11. When the air guide panel 20 closes the air outlet 11, the end cover section 21 is located on the mounting step 14. In this way, when the air guide panel 20 closes the air outlet 11, it can be flush with the air outlet 11 without protruding from the air outlet 11, which can reduce the height of the housing 10 and reduce space occupation.

[0045] In one embodiment of the present invention, the air conditioner further comprises an air guide motor connected to the air guide panel 20, and the air guide motor is installed in the convex portion 12. The air guide motor can drive the air guide panel 20 to rotate; and / or

[0046] The housing 10 includes a top panel, and an air outlet 11 is provided on the top panel, so that air can be discharged from the top of the air conditioner, effectively preventing the air conditioner from blowing directly onto the user, thereby improving the user experience.

[0047] In one embodiment of the present invention, the air conditioner includes an indoor air conditioner unit and an outdoor air conditioner unit, wherein the indoor air conditioner unit includes a housing 10 and an air guide panel 20;

[0048] The indoor unit of the air conditioner and the outdoor unit of the air conditioner are connected by a refrigerant hose assembly. The air conditioner of the present invention can be a split-type air conditioner that is easy for users to install personally. The indoor heat exchanger and the outdoor heat exchanger are connected by a refrigerant hose assembly, and refrigerant is injected into the refrigerant circuit before the equipment leaves the factory. In this way, when the user installs the equipment by himself, he only needs to fix the indoor unit of the air conditioner and the outdoor unit of the air conditioner separately, without the need to assemble the refrigerant hose assembly and add refrigerant, thereby reducing the difficulty of installation and enabling personal installation by the user. At the same time, the refrigerant hose assembly can be bent to facilitate the movement of the indoor unit of the air conditioner. However, the present design is not limited to this. In other embodiments, the air conditioner of the present invention can also be an ordinary split-type air conditioner.

[0049] And / or the compressor of the air conditioner is arranged in the indoor unit of the air conditioner. The compressor is arranged in the indoor unit of the air conditioner, which can reduce the weight of the outdoor unit of the air conditioner, thereby facilitating the installation of the outdoor unit of the air conditioner. At the same time, since the outdoor unit of the air conditioner usually needs to be fixed on a bracket, the reduction in the weight of the outdoor unit of the air conditioner can reduce the pressure on the bracket, prevent the bracket from being subjected to excessive pressure and causing the risk of cracking, thereby increasing the service life of the bracket. In addition, since the compressor will generate noise or vibration when working, a vibration-damping structure, such as rubber, plastic, etc., can be provided at the bottom of the compressor to absorb vibration. A soundproof cover can also be provided on the outside of the compressor to absorb or reduce noise, making the indoor environment relatively quiet, reducing the impact of noise on users, and providing users with a comfortable rest environment.

[0050] And / or the bottom of the air conditioner is provided with moving wheels, so that the user can move the air conditioner to a suitable position according to the indoor environment or personal preference, saving time and effort. In one embodiment, at least three moving wheels are provided to improve the stability of the moving process.

[0051] The above description is merely an exemplary embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the patent scope of the embodiments of the present invention. All equivalent structural transformations made using the description and drawings of the embodiments of the present invention under the technical concept of the present invention, or direct / indirect application in other related technical fields are included in the patent protection scope of the embodiments of the present invention.
