[0030] The embodiments of the present disclosure are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to be used to explain the present disclosure, but should not be understood as limiting the present disclosure.

[0031] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the air guide frame 1 of the embodiment of the present disclosure is provided with a receiving cavity 11 and an opening 111 communicating with the receiving cavity 11. The receiving cavity 11 is provided on at least one side of the air guide frame 1 in the left-right direction, and the opening 111 is provided forward. The receiving cavity 11 is used to receive the output member 2 of the driving mechanism, and the opening 111 allows the output member 2 to pass through the receiving cavity 11. Figures 1 to 3 As mentioned above, the front-to-back direction is as Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown.

[0032] When the air guide frame 1 of the disclosed embodiment is used in an air conditioner, the receiving cavity 11 of the air guide frame 1 can accommodate the output member 2 of the driving mechanism, and the output member 2 can enter and exit the receiving cavity 11 in the front-to-back direction through the opening 111, so that the output member 2 can drive the air guide plate of the air conditioner to rotate or move. Therefore, sufficient space is reserved inside the air conditioner for accommodating the output member 2.

[0033] In some embodiments, as Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, the accommodating cavity 11 includes a first accommodating portion 112 and a second accommodating portion 113. The first accommodating portion 112 extends in the vertical direction to accommodate the first portion 21 of the output member 2. The second accommodating portion 113 extends in the left-right direction to accommodate the second portion 22 of the output member 2. Figures 1 to 5 shown.

[0034] For example, the output member 2 is a crank, which includes an integrally formed rod body and a protrusion, with the protrusion being arranged on one side of the rod body in the left-right direction. The first receiving portion 112 is used to receive the rod body, and the second receiving portion 113 is used to receive the protrusion. The rod body forms the first portion 21, and the protrusion forms the second portion 22.

[0035] By configuring the accommodating chamber 11 to include a first accommodating portion 112 and a second accommodating portion 113, with the first accommodating portion 112 extending in the vertical direction and the second accommodating portion 113 extending in the horizontal direction, the first accommodating portion 112 and the second accommodating portion 113 respectively accommodate the first portion 21 and the second portion 22 of the output member 2. The first accommodating portion 112 and the second accommodating portion 113 can be designed based on the shape and size of the first portion 21 and the second portion 22, respectively. This ensures that, even with a relatively small overall size of the accommodating chamber 11, sufficient space is provided to accommodate the output member 2, thereby improving the structural strength of the air guide 1.

[0036] Optionally, the first accommodation portion 112 passes through one side of the air guide frame 1 along the up-down direction.

[0037] For example, Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the first receiving portion 112 passes through the lower side of the air guide frame 1 downward.

[0038] By having the first accommodating portion 112 pass through one side of the air guide frame 1 in the up-down direction, it is convenient for the output member 2 to pass through the air guide frame 1 and be connected to the driving member (such as a motor) in a transmission manner.

[0039] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, accommodating cavities 11 are provided on both the left and right sides of the air guide frame 1 .

[0040] By providing the accommodating cavities 11 on both the left and right sides of the air guide frame 1 , the output components 2 located on the left and right sides of the air guide frame 1 can be accommodated respectively.

[0041] Alternatively, as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the accommodating chambers 11 provided on both sides of the air guide frame 1 are symmetrically arranged along the left-right direction.

[0042] By arranging the accommodating cavities 11 on both sides of the air guide frame 1 symmetrically along the left-right direction, the processing and manufacturing of the air guide frame 1 is facilitated, which is conducive to reducing the cost of the air guide frame 1.

[0043] Optionally, the rear wall of the accommodating cavity 11 is arc-shaped.

[0044] By setting the rear side wall of the accommodating cavity 11 to be arc-shaped, not only can the stress concentration problem of the air guide frame 1 be reduced and the structural strength of the air guide frame 1 be improved; but also the shape of the accommodating cavity 11 and the output member 2 can be made consistent. When the overall size of the accommodating cavity 11 is small, there is enough space to accommodate the output member 2, further improving the structural strength of the air guide frame 1.

[0045] Optionally, the minimum dimension of the accommodating cavity 11 in the front-to-back direction is 16 mm to 26 mm. In other words, the minimum depth of the accommodating cavity 11 is 16 mm to 26 mm.

[0046] The maximum dimension of the accommodating chamber 11 in the front-to-back direction is 52 mm to 78 mm. In other words, the maximum depth of the accommodating chamber 11 is 16 mm to 26 mm.

[0047] For example, Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the minimum dimension of the accommodating cavity 11 in the front-to-back direction is L1, which is 21 mm, and the maximum dimension of the accommodating cavity 11 in the front-to-back direction is L2, which is 66 mm.

[0048] By setting the minimum dimension of the accommodating chamber 11 in the front-to-back direction to 16 mm to 26 mm and the maximum dimension of the accommodating chamber 11 in the front-to-back direction to 52 mm to 78 mm, when the overall dimension of the accommodating chamber 11 is relatively small, it can be ensured that the output element 2 can be completely accommodated in the accommodating chamber 11, thereby improving the structural strength of the air guide frame 1.

[0049] like Figures 4 to 7 As shown, the air guide assembly of the embodiment of the present disclosure includes an air guide frame 1 and an output member 2. The air guide frame 1 is the air guide frame 1 described in any of the above embodiments, and the output member 2 is movable between a first position and a second position. Figure 4 As shown, in the first position, the output member 2 at least partially extends out of the accommodating cavity 11. Figure 5 As shown, in the second position, the output member 2 is at least partially retracted into the accommodating cavity 11. The output member 2 is used to drive the air guide plate to rotate and / or move, and the output member 2 can be a crank.

[0050] It should be noted that the first position and the second position are only two extreme positions of the output member 2. During the operation of the air guide assembly, the output member 2 is not limited to the first position and the second position, but can also move to any position between the first position and the second position.

[0051] The air guide assembly of the embodiment of the present disclosure can reserve sufficient accommodation space for the output member 2 by providing an accommodation cavity 11 on the air guide frame 1 .

[0052] Optionally, in the second position, the minimum distance between the output member 2 and the cavity wall of the accommodating cavity 11 is greater than or equal to 3 mm.

[0053] For example, in Figure 5 In the position shown, the minimum distance between the output member 2 and the rear wall of the accommodating cavity 11 is L3, and L3 is greater than or equal to 3 mm.

[0054] That is, after the output member 2 is retracted into the accommodating chamber 11, there is no contact between the output member 2 and the wall of the accommodating chamber 11. This not only provides ample space for the output member 2 but also prevents interference between the wall of the accommodating chamber 11 and the output member 2, thereby improving the reliability of the air guide assembly.

[0055] like Figure 7 As shown, the air guide assembly includes a motor 3, and the output member 2 is transmission-connected to the motor 3, and the motor 3 drives the output member 2 to move.

[0056] like Figures 4 to 7 As shown, the air conditioner of the embodiment of the present disclosure includes the air guide assembly described in any of the above embodiments. Wherein, the air conditioner can be a wall-mounted air conditioner.

[0057] like Figure 6 As shown, the air conditioner includes a middle frame 4 , a motor 3 connected to the middle frame 4 , and an output member 2 drivingly connected to the motor 3 .
