The following description is given to enable any person skilled in the art to implement and use the present application. In the following description, details are listed for the purpose of explanation. It should be understood that one of ordinary skill in the art can recognize that the present application can be implemented without using these specific details. In other instances, well-known structures and processes are not elaborated in detail to avoid obscuring the description of the present application with unnecessary details. Therefore, the present application is not intended to be limited to the embodiments shown, but is consistent with the widest scope consistent with the principles and features disclosed in this application.

[0028] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, on the one hand, an embodiment of the present application provides an air guide mechanism 1, which includes a first air guide plate 10 and a second air guide plate 20, which can be used to guide air on the air conditioner 100, and can achieve a variety of air guide effects to better meet the use needs of different occasions.

[0029] The first air guide plate 10 is rotatably disposed at the air outlet 201 of the air conditioner 100 for opening and closing the air outlet 201. The first air guide plate 10 is provided with a vent 11 that extends through the first air guide plate 10. The second air guide plate 20 is movably inserted into the vent 11 to close the vent 11 and retracted from the vent 11 to open the vent 11.

[0030] Here, the first air guide plate 10 and the second air guide plate 20 can be controlled to rotate to corresponding positions according to actual air outlet needs. For example, the first air guide plate 10 can be controlled to rotate and cover the air outlet 201, and the second air guide plate 20 can be controlled to move and open the vent 11, so that the air outlet air flow of the air conditioner 100 can be blown outward through the vent 11 under the guidance of the second air guide plate 20. For another example, the first air guide plate 10 can be controlled to rotate and open the air outlet 201, and the second air guide plate 20 can be controlled to move and open the vent 11, and at least one of the first air guide plate 10 and the second air guide plate 20 can be used to guide the air outlet air flow of the air conditioner 100 so that the air conditioner 100 discharges air in the desired air outlet direction. Compared with the related art, the air guide mechanism 1 provided in the embodiment of the present application can achieve a variety of air guide effects by utilizing the movement coordination of the first air guide plate 10 and the second air guide plate 20, better meeting the use needs of different occasions.

[0031] In some embodiments, the air conditioner 100 may be provided with an air duct 202 communicating with the air outlet 201, and the air duct 202 has an upper side wall 2021 and a lower side wall 2022 arranged opposite to each other. Figure 4 As shown, when the air conditioner 100 is in the heating state, the first air guide plate 10 can be rotated to the open position to open the air outlet 201, or covered on the air outlet 201 to close the air outlet 201; the second air guide plate 20 can be rotated to the second open position close to the upper side wall 2021 to form a first air outlet channel 202a between the second air guide plate 20 and the lower side wall 2022, so that the warm air output by the air conditioner 100 can be blown downward along the first air outlet channel 202a to the area near the user, thereby making the air temperature in the area near the user rise rapidly, achieving a better heating effect. When the first air guide plate 10 covers the air outlet 201, the second air guide plate 20 can open the vent 11, and the first air outlet channel 202a is connected to the vent 11, so that the warm air output by the air conditioner 100 can still be blown downward through the vent 11, and the first air guide plate 10 will not block the warm air from blowing downward, thereby improving the comfort of the warm air supply and making the air conditioner 100 have a more beautiful appearance at the air outlet 201.

[0032] like Figure 5 As shown, when the air conditioner 100 is in the cooling state, the first air guide plate 10 can be rotated to the open position to open the air outlet 201, and the second air guide plate 20 can be rotated to the third open position close to the lower side wall 2022 to form a second air outlet channel 202b between the second air guide plate 20 and the upper side wall 2021, so that the cold air output by the air conditioner 100 can be blown upward along the first air outlet channel 202a, avoiding the cold air blowing directly on the user and causing discomfort to the user, thereby improving the user's physical comfort.

[0033] In some examples, the first air guide plate 10 is rotatably extended from the outside of the air conditioner 100 to open the air outlet 201, so that the first air guide plate 10 can guide air outside the air outlet 201, thereby increasing the air supply area. When the air conditioner 100 is in the cooling mode, the first air guide plate 10 is rotatably extended from the outside of the air conditioner 100, the first air guide plate 10 is located below the second air guide plate 20, and the vent 11 faces the second air guide plate 20. In this way, a mixed flow air guide channel can be formed between the first air guide plate 10 and the second air guide plate 20. The mixed flow air guide channel intersects with the outlet end of the second air outlet channel 202b. Indoor air can enter the mixed flow air guide channel from the vent 11 and flow along the mixed flow air guide channel to the outlet end of the second air outlet channel 202b, thereby mixing with the cold air blown from the second air outlet channel 202b, thereby accelerating the mixing and fusion of the cold air output by the air conditioner 100 and the indoor air, achieving a better indoor temperature regulation effect.

[0034] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, when the second air guide plate 20 is embedded in the vent 11, the surface of the second air guide plate 20 facing the outside of the air conditioner 100 and the surface of the first air guide plate 10 facing the outside of the air conditioner 100 can be connected to form a smooth surface, which can be a smooth plane or a smooth curved surface. In this way, after the air conditioner 100 is shut down, the first air guide plate 10 can cover the air outlet 201, and the second air guide plate 20 can be embedded in the vent 11, so that the air guide mechanism 1 completely closes the air outlet 201 of the air conditioner 100; and the outer surface of the air guide mechanism 1 is a smooth surface. On the one hand, it can increase the closing tightness of the air conditioner 100 after shutdown, avoiding problems such as dust accumulation, and on the other hand, it can improve the aesthetics of the air conditioner 100.

[0035] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the air guide mechanism 1 may include a first connecting arm 30, one end of the first connecting arm 30 being fixedly connected to the first air guide plate 10, and the other end of the first connecting arm 30 extending into the interior of the air conditioner 100 and being rotatably connected to the air conditioner 100. By providing the first connecting arm 30, the rotational connection between the first air guide plate 10 and the air conditioner 100 can be better achieved, thereby optimizing the structural layout of the air conditioner 100.

[0036] In some examples, the air conditioner 100 can be provided with the aforementioned air duct 202, and one end of the first connecting arm 30 can extend into the air duct 202 and be rotatably connected to the lower side wall 2022. This allows the first air guide plate 10 to rotate about the rotation axis located on the lower side wall 2022, optimizing the motion trajectory of the first air guide plate 10 and preventing motion interference between the first air guide plate 10 and the second air guide plate 20. For example, when the air conditioner 100 is in a cooling mode, the first air guide plate 10 can rotate downward about the rotation axis located on the lower side wall 2022 to an open position near the lower side wall 2022, thereby shielding the area of ​​the air outlet 201 near the lower side wall 2022, thereby preventing the cold air output by the air conditioner 100 from directly reaching the user and causing discomfort, thereby improving the user's perceived comfort.

[0037] In some embodiments, the air guide mechanism 1 may include a second connecting arm 203, one end of which is rotatably connected to the second air guide plate 20, and the other end of which extends into the interior of the air conditioner 100 and is fixedly connected to the air conditioner 100. By providing the second connecting arm 203, the rotational connection between the second air guide plate 20 and the air conditioner 100 can be better achieved, thereby optimizing the structural layout of the air conditioner 100.

[0038] In some examples, the air conditioner 100 may be provided with the aforementioned air duct 202, which has an upper sidewall 2021 and a lower sidewall 2022 disposed opposite each other, with one end of the second connecting arm 203 extending into the air duct 202 and fixedly connected to the upper sidewall 2021. In this way, different sidewalls of the air duct 202 can be utilized to connect to the first air guide plate 10 and the second air guide plate 20, respectively, thereby optimizing the layout structure of the air guide mechanism 1 on the air conditioner 100.

[0039] In some embodiments, when the first air guide plate 10 covers the air outlet 201, the second air guide plate 20 can be moved out of the air outlet 11 from a side of the air outlet 11 closer to the interior of the air conditioner 100, or can be inserted into the air outlet 11 from this side of the air outlet 11. With this arrangement, when the first air guide plate 10 covers the air outlet 201, the second air guide plate 20 can be freely inserted into and removed from the air outlet 11, thereby achieving open and close control of the air outlet 11 without interference.

[0040] On the other hand, an embodiment of the present application provides an air conditioner 100, which includes a body 2 and an air guide mechanism 1 according to any of the above embodiments. The body 2 is provided with an air outlet 201, and the air guide mechanism 1 is arranged at the air outlet 201. The type of the air conditioner 100 can be determined according to actual needs, and can be, for example, a wall-mounted air conditioner, a cabinet air conditioner, a window air conditioner, a ceiling air conditioner, etc., which is not limited by the embodiment of the present application. The air conditioner 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application has the above-mentioned air guide mechanism 1, which can achieve a variety of air guide effects and better meet the needs of use in different occasions.

[0041] The above is a detailed introduction to the air guide mechanism and air conditioner provided in the embodiments of the present application. Specific examples are used in this article to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of the present application. The description of the above embodiments is only used to help understand the method of the present application and its core idea; at the same time, for technical personnel in this field, based on the ideas of the present application, there will be changes in the specific implementation methods and application scope.
