DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0053] 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.

[0054] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 The present invention provides an air guide device 100 that is installed on a wall-mounted air conditioner indoor unit and serves as an external air guide device 100 to avoid the problem of direct wind. Furthermore, the air guide device 100 can guide the air blown out of the air outlet upward during cooling and upward during heating, thereby achieving a better heat exchange effect.

[0055] In this embodiment, an air deflector 110 and a connecting assembly 130 are provided. Two connecting assemblies 130 are provided on the air deflector 110 at intervals along the length of the air deflector 110. The connecting assemblies 130 are movable relative to the air deflector 110 in the lengthwise direction of the air deflector 110 to adjust the distance between the two connecting assemblies 130. The connecting assembly 130 is used to securely attach to the indoor unit of the air conditioner, thereby securing the air deflector 110 near the air outlet of the indoor unit for air guidance.

[0056] Existing external air guide plates 110 are typically hung directly on the indoor unit via a mounting bracket or fixed to either side of the indoor unit. Due to the varying specifications, models, and lengths of the mounting brackets required for indoor units, the existing external air guide device 100 is not adaptable and inconvenient to install. In this embodiment, two connecting assemblies 130 for mounting the air guide plate 110 are movably mounted on the air guide plate 110. This allows for adjustable relative positions and spacing between the two connecting assemblies 130, preventing interference with the mounting bracket or the indoor unit during installation, making installation more convenient.

[0057] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 Furthermore, a slide rail 111 is provided on the inner side of the air guide plate 110 and along the length direction of the air guide plate 110. The slide rail 111 has a slide groove 113 provided along the length direction. One end of each of the two connecting components 130 can be movably mounted on the slide groove 113.

[0058] In this embodiment, a slide rail 111 is provided along the length direction of the inner side of the air guide plate 110 , and the two connecting components 130 are installed in the slide groove 113 of the slide rail 111 , which can achieve sliding more conveniently.

[0059] In this embodiment, the connecting assembly 130 includes a slider 131, a connecting member 133, and a fixing assembly 135. The connecting member 133 is connected to the slider 131 via the fixing assembly 135, and the slider 131 is movably mounted on the sliding groove 113. The connecting member 133 is used to connect to the indoor unit.

[0060] In this embodiment, a slider 131 is provided on the connecting member 133 , and the slider 131 can better cooperate with the slide rail 111 to achieve sliding.

[0061] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 Specifically, in this embodiment, the slide rail 111 is a C-shaped slide rail 111, and the slider 131 is embedded in the slide groove 113 of the slide rail 111. It can only slide along the length direction of the slide groove 113 and cannot escape from the slide groove 113. Secondly, a fixing member can be provided on the slide rail 111 or the slider 131. After the position of the slider 131 is adjusted, the slide rail 111 and the slider 131 can be fixed by fixing.

[0062] Secondly, to prevent condensation on the inside or outside of the air guide plate 110 during cooling and to reduce noise, a layer of noise-reducing sponge can be placed on the inside of the air guide plate 110. This noise-reducing sponge helps absorb sound waves in the air and reduce noise reflection and propagation. The air guide plate 110 is curved in the width direction, which helps to provide a better air guide effect.

[0063] In this embodiment, the slider 131 is rotatably connected to the connecting member 133 via a fixing assembly 135 . The slider 131 rotates relative to the connecting member 133 to adjust the angle of the air guide plate 110 .

[0064] In this embodiment, the slider 131 and the connecting member 133 are rotatably connected through a fixing assembly 135. After the connecting member 133 is fixed to the indoor unit, the angle of the air guide plate 110 can be adjusted to allow the air guide plate 110 to guide the air upward or downward.

[0065] In this embodiment, the slider 131 is provided with a first connecting tab 137 and a second connecting tab 139 opposite each other. The first connecting tab 137 is provided with a through-hole 141. A mounting hole 143 is provided at the end of the connector 133. The end of the connector 133 provided with the mounting hole 143 is mounted between the first connecting tab 137 and the second connecting tab 139, with the mounting hole 143 aligned with the through-hole 141. The fixing assembly 135 is then inserted through the through-hole 141 and into the mounting hole 143.

[0066] In this embodiment, the connecting member 133 is rotatably mounted between the first connecting ear piece 137 and the second connecting ear piece 139 through the fixing assembly 135, so that rotation adjustment can be better achieved.

[0067] In this embodiment, the first connecting ear piece 137 and the second connecting ear piece 139 are both provided with a through hole 141. The fixing assembly 135 can hinge the slider 131 and the connection through the through hole 141.

[0068] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5In this embodiment, the fixing assembly 135 includes a push rod 145 and an expansion assembly 147. The expansion assembly 147 is installed in the mounting hole 143. The push rod 145 is adjustably installed in the through hole 141, extending into the mounting hole 143 and abutting against the expansion assembly 147. Adjusting the push rod 145 inward can drive the expansion assembly 147 to expand outward, thereby fixing the slider 131 relative to the connecting member 133. After adjusting the push rod 145 outward, the expansion assembly 147 can retract inward, allowing the slider 131 to rotate relative to the connecting member 133.

[0069] In this embodiment, the fixing component 135 is configured as a top rod 145 and an expansion component 147. When it is necessary to adjust the angle of the wind guide plate 110, the top rod 145 is adjusted outward to shrink the expansion component 147, so that the wind guide plate 110 can be turned to any angle. After adjusting the angle of the wind shield, the top rod 145 can be adjusted to expand the expansion component 147 to fix the wind guide plate 110 at the adjusted angle, thereby realizing the adjustment of the wind guide plate 110 at any angle.

[0070] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 In this embodiment, the push rod 145 includes a rotating section 149, a threaded section 151, and a holding section 153, which are connected in sequence. The diameter of the holding section 153 gradually decreases as it moves away from the threaded section 151. The threaded section 151 is threadably mounted on the first connecting tab 137, and the holding section 153 is plugged into the expansion assembly 147. The rotating section 149 is configured to drive the push rod 145 to rotate.

[0071] In this embodiment, the diameter of the holding section 153 is configured to gradually decrease. This allows the expansion assembly 147 to expand or retract by adjusting the push rod 145, resulting in a simpler structure and more convenient adjustment. The threaded section 151 is threadedly mounted on the first connecting lug 137, facilitating adjustment of the push rod 145 and further simplifying the structure.

[0072] In this embodiment, a groove for increasing friction resistance is provided on the outer periphery of the rotating section 149. When adjusting the push rod 145, the user can operate the push rod 145 through the rotating section 149.

[0073] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 In this embodiment, a U-shaped plate 155 is disposed on the outer side of the first connecting tab 137. The U-shaped plate 155 has a single threaded hole 157. The threaded hole 157 corresponds to the through-hole 141. The threaded section 151 of the push rod 145 is mounted in the threaded hole 157, and the end thereof passes through the through-hole 141 and extends to the expansion assembly 147, thereby allowing the push rod 145 to be adjusted through the threaded engagement.

[0074] In this embodiment, the thread of the threaded hole 157 may be reversed, so that the push rod 145 will not be loosened under the weight of the air deflector 110 .

[0075] Secondly, in some other embodiments of the present application, a U-shaped plate may be provided, and the through hole 141 may be directly provided as a threaded hole 157 .

[0076] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 In this embodiment, the expansion assembly 147 includes a ring tube 159 and a plurality of expansion members 161. The side wall of the ring tube 159 is provided with a plurality of through holes 163, and the expansion members 161 are installed in the through holes 163 in a one-to-one correspondence. The ring tube 159 is installed in the mounting hole 143. The supporting section 153 is inserted into the ring tube 159. The top rod 145 is adjusted internally, and the side wall of the supporting section 153 can cooperate with the expansion member 161 to drive the expansion member 161 to move outward and abut against the side wall of the mounting hole 143. The top rod 145 is adjusted externally, and the expansion member 161 can be retracted into the ring tube 159.

[0077] In this embodiment, the expansion assembly 147 is configured as an annular tube 159 and a plurality of expansion pieces 161 , and the expansion pieces 161 are installed in through holes 163 provided in the annular tube 159 , so that the expansion pieces 161 can be extended and retracted in the radial direction of the annular tube 159 , thereby achieving fixation or release of the two.

[0078] Specifically, the inner diameter of the annular cylinder 159 is larger than the diameter of the threaded section 151 , so that the push rod 145 can be inserted into the annular cylinder 159 and push the expansion member 161 to move in the radial direction.

[0079] In this embodiment, the expander 161 includes a curved plate 165 and a guide post 167. The guide post 167 is inserted into the through hole 163. The curved plate 165 is located within the annular tube 159. The guide post 167 is provided with a spring 168. The curved plate 165 abuts against the side wall of the supporting section 153. When the push rod 145 is adjusted outward, the spring 168 can drive the expander 161 to retract.

[0080] In this embodiment, the spring 168 is provided to retract the guide post 167 after the ejector 145 is released, thereby better releasing the fixation. The arc plate 165 is provided to better cooperate with the ejector 145.

[0081] In this embodiment, the outer end of the guide post 167 is provided with an arc chamfer, which facilitates rotation.

[0082] In this embodiment, the connecting member 133 is in the shape of a hook and can be hung on the indoor unit.

[0083] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 In this embodiment, the connecting piece 133 is set to be hook-shaped, so that it can be conveniently hung directly on the indoor unit, which is more convenient to install.

[0084] Specifically, the connector 133 includes a first section 169, a second section 171, and a third section 173. The first section 169 and the third section 173 are perpendicularly connected to the end of the second section 171, and the first section 169 and the third section 173 extend in the same direction. The length of the first section 169 is greater than that of the third section 173.

[0085] During installation, the second section 171 is inserted into the rear side of the indoor unit from one side of the indoor unit, and the third section 173 is abutted against the top wall of the indoor unit, so that the installation is more stable.

[0086] In summary, the present application movably installs the two connecting components 130 used for installing the air guide plate 110 on the air guide plate 110, so that the relative positions and spacing between the two connecting components 130 can be adjusted, avoiding interference with the indoor unit's bracket or indoor unit during installation, making installation more convenient.
