[0040] Reference below Figures 1-13 The air inlet assembly 101 according to the embodiment of the present invention is described. Through the coordinated use of the driving member 31, the transmission rod 32 and the air inlet baffle 2, the air inlet baffle 2 can be extended to the outside of the air inlet 11 to open the air inlet 11, that is, the air inlet baffle 2 is lifted upward in the process of opening the air inlet 11, reducing the encroachment of the air inlet baffle 2 on the internal space of the shell 1 during the movement process, and will not interfere with other structures, so there is no need to increase the height of the shell 1, and the internal structure is more compact and small in size, saving the production cost of the shell 1, and the structure is simple, reliable and easy to install.

[0041] like Figures 1-13 As shown, an air intake assembly 101 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a housing 1 , an air intake baffle 2 and a driving structure 3 .

[0042] The housing 1 is provided with an air inlet 11. Specifically, the housing 1 is the main frame of the air inlet assembly 101, and is used to provide installation space for other structures such as the air inlet baffle 2 and the drive structure 3. Figure 1 and Figure 13 As shown, the shell 1 is provided with an air inlet 11, wherein the air inlet 11 can be set to multiple, and the multiple air inlets 11 are spaced apart and distributed on the air inlet side of the shell 1, so that the air outside the shell 1 can be passed into the shell 1, and the provision of multiple air inlets 11 can increase the air intake volume.

[0043] The air inlet baffle 2 is movably connected to the housing 1 , for example, the air inlet baffle 2 can be directly or indirectly connected to the housing 1 , and the air inlet baffle 2 can be movable relative to the housing 1 , and its movable mode can be rotation or movement.

[0044] Among them, the driving structure 3 includes a driving member 31 and a transmission rod 32, the transmission rod 32 is rotatably installed on the shell 1, the driving member 31, the transmission rod 32 and the air inlet baffle 2 are power-connected in sequence, and the transmission rod 32 is suitable for driving the air inlet baffle 2 to extend to the air inlet 11 to close the air inlet 11, and is suitable for driving the air inlet baffle 2 to extend outside the air inlet 11 to open the air inlet 11.

[0045] Specifically, the driving member 31 is a power source having a driving function. The driving member 31 can be configured as a drive motor, which is sequentially connected to the transmission rod 32 and the air inlet baffle 2. In this way, after the drive motor rotates, it can transmit the driving force to the transmission rod 32 and the air inlet baffle 2 in sequence, thereby enabling the air inlet baffle 2 to move relative to the housing 1. The air inlet baffle 2 is disposed at the air inlet 11 of the housing 1. In this way, during the movement of the air inlet baffle 2 relative to the housing 1, the air inlet baffle 2 can close and open the air inlet 11.

[0046] Furthermore, when the driving member 31 drives the transmission rod 32 to move, the transmission rod 32 can drive the air inlet baffle 2 to move in a direction away from the shell 1, so that the air inlet baffle 2 can be extended to the outside of the air inlet 11, opening the air inlet 11, so that the external air enters the shell 1 from the air inlet 11, and when the driving member 31 drives the transmission rod 32 to move in the opposite direction, the transmission rod 32 can drive the air inlet baffle 2 to move in a direction close to the shell 1, so that the air inlet baffle 2 can be extended to the air inlet 11, closing the air inlet 11, so that external air and impurities cannot enter the shell 1.

[0047] Among them, the air intake assembly 101 can be applied to indoor or outdoor air conditioners. In this way, after the air conditioner is turned on, the air intake baffle 2 will open the air inlet 11 under the drive of the driving member 31 and the transmission rod 32 to meet the air intake needs of the air conditioner, and after the air conditioner is turned off, the air intake baffle 2 will close the air inlet 11 under the drive of the driving member 31 and the transmission rod 32, which can reduce dust and the like from falling into the shell 1, thereby reducing the problem of bacteria breeding at the air inlet 11 and causing the air quality to deteriorate.

[0048] Thus, through the coordinated use of the driving member 31, the transmission rod 32, and the air inlet baffle 2, the air inlet baffle 2 can be extended to the outside of the air inlet 11 to open the air inlet 11. That is, the air inlet baffle 2 is lifted upward during the process of opening the air inlet 11, reducing the encroachment of the air inlet baffle 2 on the internal space of the shell 1 during the movement process, and preventing interference with other structures. Therefore, there is no need to increase the height of the shell 1, and the internal structure is more compact and smaller in size, saving the production cost of the shell 1. The structure is simple, reliable, and easy to install. In addition, when the air inlet baffle 2 extends to the air inlet 11, the air inlet 11 is closed, and the air inlet baffle 2 can be flush with the surface of the shell 1, making the overall structure smooth in appearance. After the air inlet baffle 2 is retracted, the air inlet 11 is closed.

[0049] In some embodiments, the air inlet baffles 2 and the transmission rods 32 are both multiple and connected in a one-to-one correspondence.

[0050] Specifically, there are multiple air inlets 11, such as Figures 1-8As shown, there are two air inlet baffles 2 and two transmission rods 32. The two transmission rods 32 are dynamically connected to the two air inlet baffles 2 in a one-to-one correspondence. The driving member 31 is dynamically connected to the transmission rods 32. In this way, the driving member 31 can drive the two transmission rods 32 to move, respectively driving the two air inlet baffles 2 to extend outside the air inlet 11 to open the air inlet 11, and respectively driving the two air inlet baffles 2 to extend to the air inlet 11 to close the air inlet 11, thereby achieving opening and closing of the air inlet 11. The number of air inlet baffles 2 and transmission rods 32 is not limited to that described in this embodiment, and can also be set to three, four, etc.

[0051] Among them, the driving member 31 can be dynamically connected to the two transmission rods 32 at the same time, or two driving members 31 can be set to be dynamically connected to the two transmission rods 32 respectively. The setting method is diverse and can be selected according to actual space requirements.

[0052] The driving structure 3 also includes a movable connecting rod 33. The output end of the driving member 31 is provided with a driving crank 34, which is connected to the movable connecting rod 33. The movable connecting rod 33 is respectively connected to multiple transmission rods 32 to drive multiple air inlet baffles 2 to move synchronously.

[0053] Specifically, if Figure 1 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the driving structure 3 is arranged at the end of the air inlet baffle 2, the driving member 31 is coaxially connected to the driving crank 34, the driving crank 34 is also movably connected to the movable connecting rod 33, and the movable connecting rod 33 is movably connected to multiple transmission rods 32. In this way, after the driving member 31 rotates, the driving force can be transmitted to the multiple transmission rods 32 in sequence through the driving crank 34 and the movable connecting rod 33, and the multiple transmission rods 32 simultaneously drive the multiple air inlet baffles 2 to move, so as to realize the movement of the multiple air inlet baffles 2 relative to the shell 1.

[0054] Therefore, by setting a movable connecting rod 33, the synchronous movement of multiple air inlet baffles 2 can be achieved, so that the multiple air inlet baffles 2 can open or close the air inlet 11 at the same time, thereby improving the movement synchronization of the multiple air inlet baffles 2 and the movement accuracy of the multiple air inlet baffles 2. The opening angles of the air inlet baffles 2 relative to the shell 1 can be made consistent, so that the air volume at the air inlet 11 is more uniform and the air intake effect is better. The transmission structure is simple, the assembly is simple, the movement is reliable, and the structure is compact and occupies little space.

[0055] It should be noted that one end of the driving crank 34 is provided with a connecting hole for connecting to the output end of the driving member 31. Figure 9As shown, the other end of the driving crank 34 is provided with a fifth rotating shaft 341, and correspondingly, the movable connecting rod 33 is provided with a fifth connecting hole 332. Connecting the fifth rotating shaft 341 with the fifth connecting hole 332 can realize the rotational connection between the driving crank 34 and the movable connecting rod 33. The connection method is simple and easy to assemble.

[0056] In some embodiments, the transmission rod 32 includes a first rod portion 321 and a second rod portion 322 that are bent and connected to each other. The connection between the first rod portion 321 and the second rod portion 322 is rotatably coordinated with the shell 1. The end of the first rod portion 321 away from the second rod portion 322 is rotatably connected to the movable connecting rod 33, and the end of the second rod portion 322 away from the first rod portion 321 is rotatably connected to the air inlet baffle 2.

[0057] Specifically, the first rod portion 321 and the second rod portion 322 are connected by a bend, and the bend angle can be right angles or non-right angles, which can be selectively set according to the actual rotation range and space requirements. The connection between the first rod portion 321 and the second rod portion 322 is rotatably connected to the housing 1 via a rotating shaft, wherein the housing 1 is the fixed end, that is, the housing 1 is the support point of the transmission rod 32. The connection between the first rod portion 321 and the second rod portion 322 can rotate relative to the housing 1. The first rod portion 321 and the second rod portion 322 are rotatably connected to the movable link 33 and the air inlet baffle 2 at the ends away from each other, thereby realizing a dynamic connection between the movable link 33, the transmission rod 32, and the air inlet baffle 2.

[0058] Furthermore, when the driving member 31 drives the driving crank 34 to rotate, the driving crank 34 pushes the movable link 33 to move, and the first rod portion 321 moves with the movable link 33, and the connection between the first rod portion 321 and the second rod portion 322 rotates clockwise relative to the housing 1. In this way, the second rod portion 322 can drive the air inlet baffle 2 to move in a direction away from the housing 1, so that the air inlet baffle 2 can extend to the outside of the air inlet 11, opening the air inlet 11, and as shown in FIG. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown; when the driving member 31 drives the driving crank 34 to rotate in the opposite direction, and the driving crank 34 pushes the movable connecting rod 33 to move in the opposite direction, and the first rod portion 321 moves in the opposite direction with the movable connecting rod 33, and the connection between the first rod portion 321 and the second rod portion 322 rotates counterclockwise relative to the housing 1, so that the second rod portion 322 can drive the air inlet baffle 2 to move in the direction close to the housing 1, so that the air inlet baffle 2 can extend to the air inlet 11, closing the air inlet 11, and as shown Figure 6 and Figure 7 shown.

[0059] Therefore, by setting up the above-mentioned structure, the driving member 31, the driving crank 34, the movable connecting rod 33 and the transmission rod 32 can sequentially drive the air inlet baffle 2 to open or close the air inlet 11. The overall connecting rod power is transmitted in sequence, making the movement process simple, the movement stable and reliable, and the structure is simple and occupies little space.

[0060] It should be noted that the connection between the first rod portion 321 and the second rod portion 322 and the housing 1 can be rotatably connected to the housing 1 through a connecting shaft such as a pin shaft or a rotating shaft. Figure 2 、 Figure 7 and Figure 9 As shown, a third rotating shaft 323 is provided at the connection between the first rod portion 321 and the second rod portion 322. Correspondingly, the housing 1 is provided with a third connecting hole 12. The third rotating shaft 323 is connected to the third connecting hole 12 to realize the rotational connection between the transmission shaft and the housing 1. In addition, a fourth rotating shaft 3211 is provided at the end of the first rod portion 321. Correspondingly, the movable link 33 is provided with a fourth connecting hole 331. The fourth rotating shaft 3211 is connected to the fourth connecting hole 331 to realize the rotational connection between the transmission rod 32 and the movable link 33. The end of the second rod portion 322 is connected to the first rotating shaft 3221. Correspondingly, as shown Figure 10 As shown, the air inlet baffle 2 is provided with a first connecting hole 21 , and the first rotating shaft 3221 is connected to the first connecting hole 21 to realize the rotational connection between the transmission rod 32 and the air inlet baffle 2 .

[0061] In some embodiments, the first rod portion 321 is vertically connected to the second rod portion 322, so that the extension length of the first rod portion 321 and the second rod portion 322 can be reduced, and after the movable connecting rod 33 is tilted and translated along with the driving crank 34, and the movable connecting rod 33 drives the first rod portion 321 to move, the second rod portion 322 and the first rod portion 321 rotate relative to the shell 1 at the connection between the two, so that the second rod portion 322 can rotate relative to the shell 1, and the second rod portion 322 drives the air inlet baffle 2 to rotate and open. The overall structure has a small range of motion, and the overall structure is compact and small, occupying a small space, which is conducive to the layout of the drive structure 3 in the shell 1.

[0062] The first and second rod portions 321, 322 can have the same or different extension lengths, and their configurations can be varied and tailored to actual space requirements. In practical designs, the first and second rod portions 321, 322 can be integrally formed, reducing the number of connection steps, facilitating processing, and maintaining structural strength.

[0063] In some embodiments, multiple transmission rods 32 are spaced apart along the length of the movable link 33. The movable link 33 can extend horizontally, with the extension direction of the movable link 33 being the same as the distribution direction of the multiple air inlet baffles 2. The multiple transmission rods 32 are spaced apart along the length of the movable link 33, allowing the movable link 33 to simultaneously drive the movement of multiple transmission rods 32, thereby simultaneously driving the movement of multiple air inlet baffles 2. This allows a single structure to drive the movement of multiple structures, saving on the number of structures and making the overall structure simple, compact, and low-cost. Furthermore, the spacing between two adjacent transmission rods 32 matches the center-to-center distance between two adjacent air inlet baffles 2. This prevents interference between adjacent transmission rods 32, allowing the movable link 33 to simultaneously drive the movement of multiple transmission rods 32, with stable, non-interference motion.

[0064] Among them, in this embodiment, Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 8 As shown, both ends of the movable link 33 are connected to the two transmission rods 32 respectively, which can drive the synchronous movement of the two transmission rods 32 and the two air inlet baffles 2.

[0065] In some embodiments, the air inlet baffle 2 extends along the length direction of the air inlet 11, and multiple air inlet baffles 2 are spaced apart in the width direction of the air inlet 11, wherein the shell 1 can be constructed as a rectangular structure, the air inlet 11 can extend along the length direction of the shell 1, and the air inlet baffle 2 is constructed as a rectangular plate. In this way, each air inlet baffle 2 can be covered on the air inlet 11 along the length direction of the air inlet 11, and the air inlet 11 can be completely closed by multiple air inlet baffles 2.

[0066] The above arrangement reduces the number of air inlet baffles 2 and the number of drive structures 3. Along the length of the air inlet baffle 2, a drive structure 3 is connected to each end of the air inlet baffle 2. These two drive structures 3 can simultaneously drive the movement of the air inlet baffle 2 at both ends, making the movement of the air inlet baffle 2 to open and close the air inlet 11 more stable and reliable. Furthermore, the structure of the multiple air inlet baffles 2 matches the outer shape of the housing 1, improving the coordination of the overall structure. The overall structure is simple and easy to assemble.

[0067] In some embodiments, the air intake assembly 101 further includes a connecting rod 35 , one end of the connecting rod 35 is rotatably connected to the housing 1 , and the other end of the connecting rod 35 is rotatably connected to the air intake baffle 2 .

[0068] Specifically, the connecting rod 35 is connected between the shell 1 and the air inlet baffle 2. One end of the connecting rod 35 can be rotatably connected to the shell 1 through a connecting shaft such as a pin shaft, so that the connecting rod 35 and the shell 1 can rotate relative to each other, and the other end of the connecting rod 35 can be rotatably connected to the air inlet baffle 2 through a connecting shaft such as a pin shaft, so that the connecting rod 35 and the air inlet baffle 2 can rotate relative to each other.

[0069] Furthermore, the shell 1 is a fixed end, one end of the connecting rod 35 can rotate with the shell 1, and the other end of the connecting rod 35 rotates relative to the shell 1, so that the other end of the connecting rod 35 pushes the air inlet baffle 2 to move, so as to realize the opening or closing of the air inlet baffle 2.

[0070] Among them, such as Figure 2 、 Figure 7 and Figure 9 As shown, the second rotating shaft 351 and the sixth rotating shaft 352 can be respectively provided at both ends of the connecting rod 35, and the second rotating shaft 351 and the sixth rotating shaft 352 extend in opposite directions respectively, and correspondingly, the housing 1 is provided with a sixth connecting hole 13, as shown in FIG. Figure 10 As shown, the air inlet baffle 2 is provided with a second connecting hole 22. The sixth rotating shaft 352 is connected to the sixth connecting hole 13 to realize the rotational connection between the connecting rod 35 and the shell 1. The second rotating shaft 351 is connected to the second connecting hole 22 to realize the rotational connection between the connecting rod 35 and the air inlet baffle 2. The structure is simple and the assembly is convenient.

[0071] In actual design, the fifth rotating shaft 341 and the sixth rotating shaft 352 can be respectively formed as one piece with the connecting rod 35. The one-piece structure has high strength and can improve the connection strength between the connecting rod 35 and the shell 1 and the air inlet baffle 2 respectively.

[0072] In some embodiments, the transmission rod 32 is rotatably connected to the air inlet baffle 2 around a first axis, and the other end of the connecting rod 35 is rotatably connected to the air inlet baffle 2 around a second axis. The first axis is parallel to and spaced apart from the second axis.

[0073] In this way, the transmission rod 32 can push the air inlet baffle 2 to move, and the air inlet baffle 2 rotates around the first axis relative to the transmission rod 32, and one end of the connecting rod 35 rotates around the shell 1, and the air inlet baffle 2 rotates around the second axis relative to the connecting rod 35, and the first axis is parallel to the second axis, so that the air inlet baffle 2 can rotate around two parallel and spaced axes, making the rotation more stable and reliable.

[0074] Specifically, the first rotating shaft 3221 set at the end of the second rod portion 322 of the transmission rod 32 extends along the first axis, and the second rotating shaft 351 set at the other end of the connecting rod 35 extends along the second axis, and the first rotating shaft 3221 and the second rotating shaft 351 are distributed in parallel and spaced apart. Correspondingly, the air inlet baffle 2 is provided with a first connecting hole 21 and a second connecting hole 22 distributed in spaced apart relationships, which are connected by the first rotating shaft 3221 and the first connecting hole 21, and by the second rotating shaft 351 and the second connecting hole 22, so that the transmission rod 32 and the connecting rod 35 can be spaced apart and rotatably connected to the air inlet baffle 2, and the connection method is simple and easy to assemble.

[0075] Therefore, by setting the transmission rod 32 and the connecting rod 35 to be rotatably connected to the air inlet baffle 2 respectively, the rotation of the air inlet baffle 2 around two parallel axes can be achieved, and as shown in FIG. Figure 2 As shown, the air inlet baffle 2 rotates in one direction to open the air inlet 11, which can be set as counterclockwise, and the connecting rod 35 is used to limit the first rod portion 321 of the transmission rod 32 to control the opening angle of the air inlet baffle 2, and the first rod portion 321 and the second rod portion 322 of the transmission rod 32 are vertically connected. In this way, the air inlet baffle 2 can be rotated clockwise to close the air inlet 11, and the second rod portion 322 can be flush with the housing 1, so that the transmission rod 32 can be limited. The air inlet 11 is closed as shown in FIG. Figure 7 shown.

[0076] Also, it should be noted that the drive structure 3 is mirror-imaged at both ends of the air inlet baffle 2, wherein the drive member 31, the transmission rod 32 and the connecting rod 35 can be directly connected to the housing 1, or a separate mounting base 4 can be provided, such as Figure 9 、 Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown, the driving member 31 can be detachably connected to the mounting base 4, and the transmission rod 32 and the connecting rod 35 are respectively connected to the mounting base 4 for rotation, and as shown in FIG. Figure 13 As shown, a mounting groove 14 is provided on the housing 1 for mounting the mounting seat 4, and the mounting groove 14 and the mounting seat 4 are structurally matched, which is conducive to the installation and coordination of the two. The drive structure 3 is connected to both ends of the air inlet baffle 2, and two mounting seats 4 are also provided. The two mounting seats 4 are respectively a left mounting seat and a right mounting seat. The left mounting seat and the right mounting seat are respectively provided with a driving member through hole 41 for the output end of the driving member 31 to pass through, and the left mounting seat and the right mounting seat are both provided with a driving member mounting hole 42 for connecting and fixing the driving member 31. The two mounting seats 4 are respectively provided with a positioning hole 43, and the housing 1 is provided with a positioning column 141. The positioning hole 43 is positioned in coordination with the positioning column 141, and the two mounting seats 4 are respectively detachably connected to the two mounting grooves 14 by bolts and other connecting members.

[0077] The left mounting seat and the right mounting seat are respectively provided with a third connecting hole 12 and a sixth connecting hole 13. By connecting with the third rotating shaft 323 through the third connecting hole 12, the transmission rod 32 can be connected to the mounting seat 4 for rotation. By connecting with the sixth rotating shaft 352 through the sixth connecting hole 13, the connecting rod 35 can be connected to the mounting seat 4 for rotation. By setting two mounting seats 4, the driving structure 3 can be connected and fixed to the air inlet baffle 2 and the mounting seat 4 to form an integral structure. In this way, the air inlet assembly 101 can be directly installed in the shell 1 in the form of an integral structure, which greatly improves production efficiency.

[0078] In some embodiments, the air inlet 11 has an air inlet windward side 111 and an air inlet outlet side 112 distributed along the air inlet direction, and the air inlet baffle 2 is suitable for being closed at the air inlet windward side 111 or extending outside the air inlet windward side 111.

[0079] Specifically, the air inlet direction of the air inlet 11 is from the outside of the shell 1 to the inside of the shell 1, that is, the windward side 111 of the air inlet is located on the outside of the air inlet 11, and the air outlet side 112 of the air inlet is located on the inside of the air inlet 11. In this way, the driving member 31 can drive the air inlet baffle 2 to rotate in the direction away from the shell 1 through the transmission rod 32, and the air inlet baffle 2 extends to the outside of the windward side 111 of the air inlet to open the air inlet 11, so that when the air inlet 11 is in the open state, the air inlet baffle 2 is located on the outside of the shell 1, and the air inlet baffle 2 does not occupy the internal space of the shell 1, and can avoid interference with other structures. When the driving member 31 drives the air inlet baffle 2 to rotate in the direction close to the shell 1 through the transmission rod 32, the air inlet baffle 2 rotates to be flush with the surface of the shell 1 to close the windward side 111 of the air inlet.

[0080] Therefore, through the setting method of this embodiment, the air inlet baffle 2 can be rotated outside the shell 1 during the opening and closing movement, without occupying the internal space of the shell 1, and can reduce the overall external dimensions of the shell 1. It has a compact structure, good use effect, and lower cost.

[0081] The present invention also provides an air conditioner 100 .

[0082] The air conditioner 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention includes an air intake assembly 101 of any of the above-mentioned embodiments, and the air intake assembly 101 is detachably connected to the shell 1 of the air conditioner 100. The air intake assembly 101 includes a driving structure 3 and an air intake baffle 2. By cooperating with the driving member 31, the transmission rod 32 and the air intake baffle 2, the air intake baffle 2 can be extended to the outside of the air inlet 11 to open the air inlet 11, that is, the air intake baffle 2 is lifted upward in the process of opening the air inlet 11, reducing the encroachment of the air intake baffle 2 on the internal space of the shell 1 during the movement process, and will not interfere with other structures, so there is no need to increase the height of the shell 1, and the internal structure is more compact and small in size, saving the production cost of the shell 1, and the structure is simple, reliable and easy to install. The air inlet baffle 2 extends to the air inlet 11 to close the air inlet 11, and the air inlet baffle 2 can be flush with the surface of the shell 1, so that the overall structure has a smooth appearance, and the air inlet baffle 2 closes the air inlet 11 after being retracted. The air inlet assembly 101 of this embodiment can also be applied to other air-conditioning systems, with good use effect and a wider range of applications.
