[0033] In this application, the word "exemplary" is used to mean "serving as an example, instance, or illustration." Any embodiment described in this application as "exemplary" is not necessarily to be construed as preferred or advantageous over other embodiments. The term "and / or" includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0034] The embodiment of the present application provides a wind guide device, such as Figures 1 to 13 As shown, the air guide device includes an air guide plate 100, a driving arm 200, and a mounting assembly 300. The first end of the driving arm 200 is connected to the air guide plate 100, and the second end of the driving arm 200 is provided with a clamping portion 210. The mounting assembly 300 includes a mounting seat 310 and a clamping member 320. The mounting seat 310 is provided with a slide groove 311, and the second end of the driving arm 200 extends into the slide groove 311. The groove wall of the slide groove 311 is provided with an avoidance groove 312, and the clamping member 320 is retractably disposed in the avoidance groove 312. The avoidance groove 312 has an opening that communicates with the slide groove 311. The clamping member 320 partially extends from the opening into the slide groove 311 to engage with the clamping portion 210. The mounting assembly 300 is configured to be disposed within the air conditioner housing 400 and rotatably connected to the air conditioner housing 400 to enable the air guide plate 100 to be opened and closed.

[0035] The wind guide device provided in the embodiment of the present application, when it is necessary to install the wind guide plate 100, the second end of the driving arm 200 is extended into the sliding groove 311, and the clamping piece 320 is pushed by the driving arm 200 and retracted into the avoidance groove 312. After the driving arm 200 passes through the clamping piece 320, the clamping piece 320 partially extends into the sliding groove 311 and is clamped with the clamping portion 210, and the installation of the wind guide plate 100 is completed; when it is necessary to disassemble the wind guide plate 100, it is only necessary to pull the driving arm 200 so that it pushes the clamping piece 320 to retract into the avoidance groove 312. After releasing the clamping portion 210 and the clamping piece 320, the driving arm 200 and the wind guide plate 100 can be removed. Disassembly and assembly are relatively convenient and quick, which effectively improves the disassembly and assembly efficiency of the wind guide plate 100.

[0036] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in the figure, the clamping portion 210 is a clamping protrusion protruding from the side of the driving arm 200, and the clamping protrusion is clamped with the clamping member 320. Specifically, the clamping protrusion has a first inclined surface and a second inclined surface on both sides, and the clamping member 320 has a third inclined surface and a fourth inclined surface on both sides. When installing the air deflector 100, the second end of the driving arm 200 is inserted into the sliding groove 311. When the second inclined surface abuts the third inclined surface, the clamping member 320 is pushed by the clamping portion 210 and retracted into the avoidance groove 312. After the clamping portion 210 passes through, the clamping member 320 partially extends into the sliding groove 311 and the first inclined surface abuts the fourth inclined surface, thereby achieving the clamping of the clamping member 320 and the clamping portion 210. The abutment of the first inclined surface and the fourth inclined surface also allows the clamping member 320 to better align with the clamping portion 210 to prevent loosening.

[0037] Alternatively, in other embodiments, the engaging portion 210 may be a slot provided on the side of the driving arm 200, into which the engaging member 320 engages. When installing the air deflector 100, the second end of the driving arm 200 is inserted into the sliding slot 311. The engaging member 320 is pushed by the driving arm 200 and retracts into the avoiding slot 312. When the slot and the engaging member 320 are aligned, the engaging member 320 partially extends into the sliding slot 311 and engages therewith, thereby achieving engagement between the engaging member 320 and the engaging portion 210.

[0038] In some embodiments of the present application, the mounting assembly 300 further includes a mounting cover 330, which is disposed on the mounting base 310 and opposite the slide slot 311. The mounting cover 330 is provided with a positioning post 331, and the clamping member 320 is provided with a first positioning hole 321, through which the positioning post 331 is inserted. Specifically, when the mounting cover 330 is closed over the mounting base 310, the mounting cover 330 can block the driving arm 200 to prevent the second end of the driving arm 200 from escaping from the slide slot 311. At the same time, the positioning post 331 is inserted into the first positioning hole 321, locking the clamping member 320 so that it cannot be extended or retracted, thereby securing the driving arm 200 in the slide slot 311 and improving the installation reliability of the air deflector 100.

[0039] Optionally, a second positioning hole 313 is provided at the bottom of the chute 311, and a positioning post 331 is sequentially inserted into the first positioning hole 321 and the second positioning hole 313, with the positioning post 331 having a clearance fit with the first positioning hole 321 and an interference fit with the second positioning hole 313. Specifically, the first positioning hole 321 and the second positioning hole 313 are coaxially arranged. Since the clamping member 320 is retractable, the outer diameter of the positioning post 331 is smaller than the aperture of the first positioning hole 321, so that the positioning post 331 has a clearance fit with the first positioning hole 321, facilitating assembly. At the same time, the outer diameter of the positioning post 331 is larger than the aperture of the second positioning hole 313, so that the positioning post 331 has an interference fit with the second positioning hole 313, thereby more effectively locking the clamping member 320 and preventing it from retracting, thereby more reliably fixing the driving arm 200 in the chute 311.

[0040] In some embodiments of the present application, the mounting cover 330 includes a fixed cover 332 and a flip cover 333. The flip cover 333 is pivotally connected to the fixed cover 332, and a positioning post 331 is disposed on the flip cover 333. Because the flip cover 333 is pivotally connected to the fixed cover 332, the flip cover 333 can be flipped relative to the fixed cover 332, thereby enabling the positioning post 331 to be inserted into or removed from the first positioning hole 321 by flipping the flip cover 333. Specifically, when the flip cover 333 is flipped to cover the mounting base 310, the positioning post 331 is inserted into the first positioning hole 321, and the clip 320 is locked and cannot be extended or retracted. When the flip cover 333 is flipped to release the mounting base 310, the positioning post 331 is removed from the first positioning hole 321, and the clip 320 is unlocked and can be freely extended or retracted.

[0041] When the cam 331 is in the unlocked position, the push block 335 is released from the engagement with the flip cover 333, so that the flip cover 333 is unlocked and can be flipped over. At this time, the operator can flip the flip cover 333 until the positioning post 331 is out of the first positioning hole 321 to release the lock on the clamping member 320, so that the driving arm 200 can be pulled out of the sliding slot 311.

[0042] As shown, the mounting assembly 300 further includes an elastic member 340. One end of the elastic member 340 is connected to the clip 320, and the other end of the elastic member 340 is connected to or abuts the wall of the avoidance groove 312 opposite the opening. The elastic member 340 applies a restoring force to the clip 320, causing the clip 320 to partially extend into the chute 311. Alternatively, the elastic member 340 may be a spring, silicone, or other elastic material.

[0043] When the cam 312 is unlocked, the latch 320 is unlocked and the latch 320 is in the unlock state, so that the cam 312 can be unlocked and the latch 320 can be unlocked.

[0044] Optionally, inwardly inclined limiting protrusions 314 are provided on both sides of the opening of the avoidance groove 312 in a direction close to the slide groove 311. The clamping member 320 is a platform, with the top surface 322 of the platform facing the opening and the side surfaces of the platform abutting against the limiting protrusions 314. In this way, the clamping member 320 can freely extend and retract without sliding out of the avoidance groove 312.

[0045] In some embodiments of the present application, the mounting assembly 300 further includes a baffle 350, which is disposed to cover the notch of the avoidance groove 312. By covering the baffle 350 with the notch of the avoidance groove 312, the clip 320 can be confined within the avoidance groove 312, thereby preventing the clip 320 and the elastic member 340 from escaping from the notch of the avoidance groove 312. Furthermore, the baffle 350 facilitates the installation and removal of the clip 320. Specifically, a step structure is provided at the notch of the avoidance groove 312, and the baffle 350 abuts against the stepped surface of the step structure.

[0046] As shown in the figure, the sliding groove 311 is provided with an avoidance groove 312 on both side groove walls along its own length direction, and the two clamping parts 320 are respectively telescopically arranged in the two avoidance grooves 312. The second end of the driving arm 200 is provided with a clamping part 210 on both sides, and the two clamping parts 210 are clamped with the two clamping parts 320 in a one-to-one correspondence.

[0047] The present application also provides an air conditioner, comprising a housing 400 and an air guide. The specific structure of the air guide is similar to that of the above-described embodiment. The housing 400 is provided with an air outlet 401, and the air guide is rotatably mounted at the air outlet 401. Since the present air conditioner utilizes all of the technical solutions of all of the above-described embodiments, it at least has all of the beneficial effects brought about by the technical solutions of the above-described embodiments, and therefore will not be further elaborated upon herein.

[0048] Specifically, a driving member is provided on the air conditioner housing 400, and the air guide device mounting assembly 300 can be connected to the output end of the driving member. The driving member rotates the mounting assembly 300, thereby driving the driving arm 200 to open and close the air guide plate 100. Optionally, the driving member is a motor, and the mounting base 310 is provided with an axis hole 315. The motor shaft of the motor cooperates with the axis hole 315 in the mounting base 310 to drive the mounting assembly 300 to rotate the driving arm 200 and the air guide plate 100.

[0049] In the above embodiments, the description of each embodiment has its own focus. For parts that are not described in detail in a certain embodiment, reference can be made to the relevant descriptions of other embodiments.

[0050] The above is a detailed introduction to the air guide device and air conditioner provided in the embodiments of the present application.
