[0002] At present, with the continuous improvement of living standards, air conditioners have become an indispensable household appliance for every household. The air guide door of the current air conditioner wall-mounted unit is generally installed on the base. If only the air guide door is disassembled, only the air outlet area will be exposed, which is not convenient for cleaning or maintaining the components inside the air guide door (such as the cross-flow fan); if the middle frame is to be disassembled to clean or maintain the components inside the air guide door, the air guide door and the drive motor connected to the air guide door transmission need to be removed together. In this process, the drive motor wires are also disassembled, which easily causes the drive motor wires to become entangled and knotted. As a result, the disassembly and assembly process of the entire air guide door mechanism is complicated and difficult, time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the disassembly and assembly efficiency is low, affecting the user experience. Utility Model Content

[0003] The problem solved by the utility model is how to clean or maintain the components inside the air guide door conveniently and quickly without removing the air guide door and the drive motor from the middle frame, thus avoiding the occurrence of entanglement and knotting of the drive motor wires. It saves time and effort, has high disassembly and assembly efficiency, and provides a good user experience.

[0004] In order to solve the above problems, the technical solution of the present utility model is achieved as follows:

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, specific embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0023] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 The present invention provides an air conditioner 100 for controlling indoor temperature. It allows for quick and easy cleaning or maintenance of components inside the air guide door without removing the air guide door and drive motor from the middle frame, thus preventing the drive motor wires from becoming tangled. This saves time and effort, improves assembly and disassembly efficiency, and provides a good user experience.

[0024] 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.

[0025] The air conditioner 100 includes a base 110, a middle frame 120, a first air guide door 130, and a first drive motor. The middle frame 120 is hingedly connected to the base 110 and can rotate relative to the base 110 to expose components inside the middle frame 120, making it convenient and quick for maintenance personnel. The first air guide door 130 is rotatably mounted on the middle frame 120 and can rotate relative to the middle frame 120 to adjust the airflow direction. The first drive motor is mounted on the middle frame 120 and is transmission-connected to the first air guide door 130. The first drive motor is configured to drive the first air guide door 130 to rotate relative to the middle frame 120. The middle frame 120 is provided with a first limiting channel. The first drive motor is provided with a first wire. The first wire is disposed within the first limiting channel and extends along the length of the first air guide door 130. The first limiting channel is configured to limit the first wire to prevent it from accidentally escaping from the middle frame 120. In this way, the components inside the first air guide door 130 can be cleaned or maintained conveniently and quickly without removing the first air guide door 130 and the first drive motor from the middle frame, thereby avoiding the occurrence of entanglement and knotting of the first wire, saving time and effort, high disassembly and assembly efficiency, and good user experience.

[0026] Specifically, the first drive motor includes a first sub-motor 140 and a second sub-motor 150. The first sub-motor 140 and the second sub-motor 150 are both mounted on the middle frame 120 and positioned oppositely at both ends of the first air guide door 130. Both are in transmission connection with the first air guide door 130. The first sub-motor 140 and the second sub-motor 150 work together to synchronously drive the first air guide door 130 to rotate, resulting in high transmission efficiency and stable and reliable operation.

[0027] Furthermore, the first sub-motor 140 and the second sub-motor 150 are connected in series through a first wire. When the first wire is energized, the first sub-motor 140 and the second sub-motor 150 are energized at the same time, so that the first sub-motor 140 and the second sub-motor 150 can synchronously drive the first air guide door 130 to rotate.

[0028] During maintenance of the air conditioner 100, the entire unit is first powered off to disconnect the power to the first wire. The middle frame 120 is then rotated open relative to the base 110. During this process, the first air guide door 130, the first sub-motor 140, the second sub-motor 150, and the first wire all move with the middle frame 120, exposing the components inside the first air guide door 130 and facilitating maintenance. This eliminates the need to disassemble the first air guide door 130, the first sub-motor 140, the second sub-motor 150, and the first wire; instead, the first air guide door 130, the first sub-motor 140, the second sub-motor 150, and the first wire. As a whole, they move with the middle frame 120, enabling rapid assembly and disassembly of the first air guide door 130, the first sub-motor 140, and the second sub-motor 150, preventing the first wire from becoming tangled or knotted. This saves time and effort, improves assembly and disassembly efficiency, and facilitates maintenance of the components inside the first air guide door 130.

[0029] Preferably, the inner wall of the middle frame 120 is provided with a plurality of limiting buckles 121. The plurality of limiting buckles 121 are sequentially arranged along the length direction of the first air guide door 130 and are combined to form a first limiting channel. The first wire is simultaneously engaged in the plurality of limiting buckles 121. The plurality of limiting buckles 121 work together to simultaneously limit different positions of the first wire, so that the first wire remains extended along the length direction of the first air guide door 130, thereby improving the limiting effect, preventing the first wire from escaping from the middle frame 120, and preventing the first wire from becoming entangled or knotted.

[0030] The limiting buckle 121 includes a connecting portion 122, an elastic portion 123 and a buckle portion 124 connected in sequence. In this embodiment, the connecting portion 122, the elastic portion 123 and the buckle portion 124 are integrally formed to improve the connection strength. The connecting portion 122 is connected to the inner wall of the middle frame 120, and the middle frame 120 can fix the position of the entire limiting buckle 121 through the connecting portion 122. The connecting portion 122 and the buckle portion 124 are relatively arranged at the two ends of the elastic portion 123. The elastic portion 123 is used to undergo elastic deformation to clamp the first wire between the connecting portion 122 and the buckle portion 124, thereby fixing the relative position of the first wire and the limiting buckle 121, and then fixing the relative position of the first wire and the middle frame 120, preventing the first wire from detaching from the middle frame 120, and avoiding the occurrence of the first wire being entangled and knotted.

[0031] In this embodiment, the connecting portion 122, the elastic portion 123 and the buckle portion 124 together form a slot 125. The opening of the slot 125 is set toward the inner wall of the middle frame 120, so that the staff can apply force to push the first wire from a position adjacent to the inner wall of the middle frame 120 into the slot 125, so that the first wire is clamped in the slot 125, thereby realizing the limiting function of the first wire.

[0032] Preferably, the air conditioner 100 further includes a second air guide door 170 and a second drive motor 180. The second air guide door 170 is rotatably mounted on the middle frame 120 and disposed inside the first air guide door 130. The second air guide door 170 can rotate relative to the middle frame 120 to adjust the airflow direction. The first air guide door 130 and the second air guide door 170 work together to enhance the airflow effect and facilitate precise adjustment of the wind direction. The second drive motor 180 is mounted on the middle frame 120 and disposed at one end of the second air guide door 170. It is transmission-connected to the second air guide door 170 and is used to drive the second air guide door 170 to rotate to adjust the airflow direction.

[0033] In this embodiment, the length of the first air guide door 130 is aligned with the length of the second air guide door 170. That is, the rotation axis of the first air guide door 130 is parallel to the rotation axis of the second air guide door 170, facilitating adjustment of the airflow direction. Furthermore, the area of the second air guide door 170 is smaller than that of the first air guide door 130. The first air guide door 130 serves as the primary air guide, while the second air guide door 170 serves as an auxiliary air guide. The first and second air guide doors 130 and 170 complement each other to enhance the air guiding effect.

[0034] Specifically, since the area of the first air guide door 130 is larger than the area of the second air guide door 170, the weight of the first air guide door 130 is greater than the weight of the second air guide door 170. Therefore, the first air guide door 130 is driven by two motors (the first sub-motor 140 and the second sub-motor 150), and the second air guide door 170 is driven by one motor (the second drive motor 180) to ensure the stability of the rotation of the first air guide door 130 and the second air guide door 170.

[0035] Furthermore, the middle frame 120 is provided with an air outlet 126, which is used for blowing out the outlet air flow. The first air guide door 130 and the second air guide door 170 are both arranged in the air outlet 126. The first air guide door 130 and the second air guide door 170 can both guide the outlet air flow to achieve the function of adjusting the wind direction. Specifically, the air outlet 126 is relatively provided with a first side wall 127 and a second side wall 128, the first air guide door 130 and the second air guide door 170 are both arranged between the first side wall 127 and the second side wall 128, the first drive motor is installed on the first side wall 127 and the second side wall 128 at the same time, and the second drive motor 180 is installed on the first side wall 127, that is, the first sub-motor 140 and the second drive motor 180 are arranged side by side and are both installed on the first side wall 127, and the second sub-motor 150 is installed on the second side wall 128, so that the first sub-motor 140 and the second sub-motor 150 can drive the first air guide door 130 at the same time, and it is convenient for the second drive motor 180 to drive the second air guide door 170, while preventing the first air guide door 130 and the second air guide door 170 from interfering with each other.

[0036] Preferably, the second drive motor 180 is provided with a second wire. When the second wire is energized, the second drive motor 180 is energized, thereby enabling the second drive motor 180 to drive the second air guide door 170 to rotate. Specifically, the middle frame 120 is provided with a wire groove 129. The wire groove 129 is provided on a side of the first side wall 127 away from the second side wall 128. The first wire and the second wire are both passed through the wire groove 129. The wire groove 129 can limit the first wire and the second wire to prevent them from becoming entangled and knotted, and facilitate the connection of the first wire and the second wire for power supply.

[0037] The first conductive wire includes a connecting section (not shown) and an extension section (not shown) that are interconnected. The connecting section extends along the length of the first air guide door 130 and is connected between the first sub-motor 140 and the second sub-motor 150. The first sub-motor 140 and the second sub-motor 150 are connected in series via the connecting section to achieve synchronous driving of the first sub-motor 140 and the second sub-motor 150. The extension section is disposed within the wire channel 129 and is used to connect to a power source to power the first sub-motor 140 and the second sub-motor 150.

[0038] Preferably, the air conditioner 100 also includes a protective hose (not shown), which is simultaneously sleeved on the outside of the extension section and the second wire, and passed through the wire groove 129. The protective hose is used to protect the extension section and the second wire to prevent the extension section and the second wire from being scratched during the extension and retraction process relative to the wire groove 129, thereby preventing leakage, and is safe and reliable.

[0039] The middle frame 120 includes a panel 191, a first side panel 192, a second side panel 193, and a bottom panel 194. The panel 191 and bottom panel 194 are both connected between the first side panel 192 and the second side panel 193. The panel 191, the first side panel 192, the bottom panel 194, and the second side panel 193 are connected end to end and together form the air outlet 126. The first air guide door 130 and the second air guide door 170 are both rotatably disposed within the air outlet 126. The first side panel 192 and the second side panel 193 are disposed on opposite sides of the base 110 and are both rotatably connected to the base 110. The base 110 is disposed between the first side panel 192 and the second side panel 193. That is, the middle frame 120 is partially covered by the base 110 to facilitate the rotation and opening of the middle frame 120. Specifically, the first side wall 127 is arranged on the first side plate 192, the second side wall 128 is arranged on the second side plate 193, and the first limiting channel is arranged on the inner side of the panel 191 and close to the air outlet 126 to facilitate the limiting function of the first wire.

[0040] Furthermore, a second limiting channel is provided on the outer side of the first side plate 192, and a wire groove 129 is opened on the first side plate 192. The extension section of the first wire passes through the wire groove 129 of the first side plate 192 and is arranged in the second limiting channel. The second wire passes through the wire groove 129 of the first side plate 192 and is arranged in the second limiting channel. The second limiting channel is used to limit the first wire and the second wire to further prevent the first wire and the second wire from accidentally detaching from the middle frame 120, so as to facilitate the first wire and the second wire to be connected and powered.

[0041] In the air conditioner 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention, the middle frame 120 is hingedly connected to the base 110, the first air guide door 130 is rotatably mounted on the middle frame 120, the first drive motor is mounted on the middle frame 120 and is in transmission connection with the first air guide door 130, the middle frame 120 is provided with a first limiting channel, and the first drive motor is provided with a first wire, which is disposed within the first limiting channel and extends along the length of the first air guide door 130.
