DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the specific embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0026] First embodiment

[0027] Please refer to Figures 1 to 7 The present invention provides an air conditioner 100 for regulating indoor temperature. The air duct fins 130 can be quickly disassembled and assembled, simplifying the disassembly and assembly process, saving time and effort, improving disassembly and assembly efficiency, facilitating cleaning of the air duct fins 130, shortening cleaning time, and improving user experience.

[0028] It should be noted that the air conditioner 100 is a wall mounted air conditioner, which is hung on a wall indoors. The air conditioner 100 is used to blow hot or cold air into the room to achieve heating or cooling functions, thereby regulating the indoor temperature to meet user needs.

[0029] The air conditioner 100 includes a base 110, a cross-flow fan 120 and an air duct plate 130. The cross-flow fan 120 is installed in the base 110, and the cross-flow fan 120 is used to form an outlet air flow to realize the air outlet function of the air conditioner 100. The air duct plate 130 is arranged in the base 110, and the air duct plate 130 is used to guide the outlet air flow to ensure the air outlet effect. Specifically, the base 110 is provided with a guide rail 111, and the air duct plate 130 is provided with a slide 131. The slide 131 slides with the guide rail 111 so that the air duct plate 130 can be pulled out from the base 110, which is convenient for cleaning the air duct plate 130. After the air duct plate 130 is cleaned, it can be inserted back into the base 110 through the sliding cooperation between the slide 131 and the guide rail 111, which is convenient and quick. In this way, the air duct plate 130 can be quickly disassembled and assembled, the disassembly and assembly process can be simplified, time and effort can be saved, the disassembly and assembly efficiency can be improved, the air duct plate 130 can be cleaned more easily, the cleaning time of the air duct plate 130 can be shortened, and the user experience can be improved.

[0030] It is worth noting that during the operation of the air conditioner 100, dust and other debris will inevitably adhere to the surface of the downwind duct. In the present invention, the downwind duct is divided into two parts, namely a main body and an air duct plate 130. The main body is integrated with the base 110, that is, the main body and the base 110 are integrally formed, while the air duct plate 130 is retractably arranged within the base 110 and covers the surface of the main body. Since the air duct plate 130 completely covers the main body, dust and other debris will only adhere to the air duct plate 130. In this way, if the downwind duct needs to be cleaned, it is only necessary to pull the air duct plate 130 out of the base 110 and clean it, without having to clean the main body. The entire cleaning process is convenient and fast, and the disassembly and cleaning efficiency is high. Compared with the prior art solution of removing the entire downwind duct from the base 110 for cleaning, the disassembly and assembly process of the present invention is simpler, saves time and effort, has high disassembly and assembly efficiency, can effectively shorten the cleaning time of the downwind duct, and provides a good user experience.

[0031] Furthermore, a support platform 132 is provided at one end of the air duct piece 130, and a handle 133 is provided at the other end. The base 110 is provided with a limit slot 112, and the support platform 132 extends into the limit slot 112 and abuts against the end wall of the limit slot 112. The end wall of the limit slot 112 can limit the support platform 132 to define the extreme sliding position of the air duct piece 130, and play a foolproof role, ensuring that the air duct piece 130 slides into place. The handle 133 is used for a person to hold, making it easier for the user to apply force. The user can use the handle 133 to pull the air duct piece 130 out of the base 110, and the user can also use the handle 133 to push the air duct piece 130 to insert the air duct piece 130 back into the base 110.

[0032] In this embodiment, the air duct plate 130 is provided with a reinforcing rib 134, which is connected to the handle 133. The reinforcing rib 134 is used to increase the connection strength of the handle 133 to prevent the handle 133 from deforming or falling off during the pulling process, thereby extending the service life of the air duct plate 130.

[0033] It should be noted that the air duct plate 130 is relatively provided with an air guide surface 135 and a back surface 136. Among them, the air guide surface 135 is used to guide the outgoing air flow, and the back surface 136 is used to fit with the base 110. Specifically, the back surface 136 is provided with a slide bar 137, and the extension direction of the slide bar 137 is the same as the extension direction of the slide 131. The base 110 is provided with a guide groove 113, and the extension direction of the guide groove 113 is the same as the extension direction of the guide rail 111. The slide bar 137 is slidably arranged in the guide groove 113, and the slide bar 137 can slide relative to the guide groove 113. The guide groove 113 can limit and guide the slide bar 137 to ensure that the slide bar 137 slides along the extension direction of the guide groove 113, thereby ensuring the matching accuracy of the slide 131 and the guide rail 111, preventing the air duct plate 130 from being misaligned and stuck during the process of being pulled out or inserted back, and improving the sliding stability of the air duct plate 130.

[0034] In this embodiment, there are two guide rails 111 and two slides 131. The two slides 131 are arranged oppositely at the two ends of the air duct plate 130. Each slide 131 slides with one guide rail 111. The two guide rails 111 and the two slides 131 work together to improve the stability of the air duct plate 130 sliding relative to the base 110, making it easier to extract the air duct plate 130 from the base 110 or insert it back into the base 110. Specifically, the air duct plate 130 is rectangular and arranged in an arc shape. The two slides 131 are arranged oppositely along the length of the air duct plate 130, and the support platform 132 and the handle 133 are arranged oppositely along the width of the air duct plate 130, so as to facilitate the extraction and cleaning functions and the air guide function.

[0035] The base 110 includes an upper guide plate 114, a lower guide plate 115, and a connecting arm 116. The upper guide plate 114 and the lower guide plate 115 are arranged opposite each other, and the connecting arm 116 is connected between the upper guide plate 114 and the lower guide plate 115. The connecting arm 116 is used to fix the relative position of the upper guide plate 114 and the lower guide plate 115. The upper guide plate 114 and the lower guide plate 115 work together to guide the airflow blown out by the cross-flow fan 120. Specifically, the lower guide plate 115 is the main part of the lower air duct, the air duct piece 130 is fitted together with the lower guide plate 115, the guide rail 111 is provided on the lower guide plate 115, the limiting groove 112 is provided on the lower guide plate 115, and the guide groove 113 is provided on the lower guide plate 115. The air duct piece 130 can slide relative to the lower guide plate 115 through the cooperation between the slide 131 and the guide rail 111 and the cooperation between the slide bar 137 and the guide groove 113. The lower guide plate 115 can guide and limit the air duct piece 130 during its sliding process to ensure the sliding stability of the air duct piece 130 and facilitate the extraction and cleaning function of the air duct piece 130.

[0036] In this embodiment, there is one connecting arm 116, which is disposed in the middle of the lower guide plate 115 and also in the middle of the upper guide plate 114. There are two air duct blades 130, which are disposed side by side. The connecting arm 116 is disposed between the two air duct blades 130. The two air duct blades 130 work together to completely cover the entire lower guide plate 115, ensuring a good air guiding effect. However, this is not limiting. In other embodiments, there may be two connecting arms 116, in which case there are three air duct blades 130, each connecting arm 116 being disposed between two adjacent air duct blades 130. The three air duct blades 130 collectively cover the lower guide plate 115. The number of connecting arms 116 and air duct blades 130 is not specifically limited.

[0037] Preferably, the air conditioner 100 further includes a middle frame 140 and an air guide door 150. The middle frame 140 is provided with an air outlet 141. The position of the air duct plate 130 corresponds to the position of the air outlet 141. The air duct plate 130 is used to guide the outlet air flow blown by the cross-flow fan 120 to the air outlet 141. The air outlet 141 is used to blow the outlet air flow into the room. The air guide door 150 is rotatably installed in the air outlet 141 to guide the outlet air flow, thereby achieving the function of adjusting the wind direction. The middle frame 140 is hinged to the base 110. The middle frame 140 can rotate and open relative to the base 110, and simultaneously drive the air guide door 150 to move, so that the components inside the middle frame 140 and the air guide door 150 are exposed, making it convenient for users to maintain and clean the internal components, which is convenient and quick.

[0038] In this embodiment, the hinged position between the middle frame 140 and the base 110 is located at the upper part of the base 110. The middle frame 140 can be flipped upward to a preset position relative to the base 110 to synchronously drive the air guide door 150 to move upward, so that the components installed on the base 110 and located on the inner side of the middle frame 140 and the air guide door 150 are completely exposed, and the middle frame 140 and the air guide door 150 will not interfere with the user's maintenance and cleaning.

[0039] The middle frame 140 includes a panel 142, a first side panel 143, a second side panel 144 and a bottom panel 145. The panel 142, the first side panel 143, the bottom panel 145 and the second side panel 144 are connected end to end and together form an air outlet 141. The air guide door 150 is rotatably installed in the air outlet 141. The first side panel 143 and the second side panel 144 are relatively arranged on both sides of the base 110 and are both rotatably connected to the base 110.
