[0030] The embodiments of the present invention 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 invention, but should not be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, the air guide base assembly of the embodiment of the present utility model includes a base 1 and an air guide frame 2.

[0032] The base 1 can be made of plastic, metal, or the like, and the air guide frame 2 can be detachably mounted on the base 1. For example, the air guide frame 2 can be mounted on the front side of the base 1 by means of clips, screws, or the like. The air guide base assembly can be an air guide base assembly of an indoor unit of an air conditioner. The indoor unit of the air conditioner can have an air inlet on the bottom side, and an air outlet on the upper front side of the indoor unit of the air conditioner. The air outlet can be arranged in a front-to-back direction relative to the air guide frame 2.

[0033] When in use, indoor air can enter the air conditioner through the air inlet, and then be discharged from the air outlet through the air guide frame 2. Figure 1 The black arrow in the middle indicates the direction of air flow.

[0034] The air guide frame 2 extends along the first direction, and at least one end of the air guide frame 2 in the first direction is provided with a recess 21 for avoiding the driving mechanism 3 that drives the air guide plate to move. Figure 2As shown, the first direction can be the left-right direction, the air guide frame 2 as a whole can extend along the left-right direction, and the left and right ends of the air guide frame 2 can be integrally formed with a recess 21, the recess 21 can be a step, groove or other structure, and the recess 21 can be recessed toward the rear side.

[0035] like Figure 3 As shown, the drive mechanism 3 may include a motor, a transmission mechanism, etc. The air deflector may be located in front of the air deflector frame 2 and connected to the drive mechanism 3. The drive mechanism 3 can be used to swing the air deflector, thereby facilitating opening and closing the air outlet or adjusting the size of the air outlet. The drive mechanism 3 may be located in front of the recess 21, and the motor or transmission mechanism may fit within the recess 21, thereby avoiding interference between the drive mechanism 3 and the air deflector frame 2 during assembly.

[0036] The air guide frame 2 of the air guide base assembly of the embodiment of the utility model is designed independently of the base 1, so that the air guide frame 2 can be processed independently, thereby facilitating the injection molding of the air guide frame 2 and facilitating the processing and production of the air guide frame 2.

[0037] Secondly, by providing the recess 21 on the air guide frame 2 , the fit with the driving mechanism 3 can be improved, thereby increasing the compactness of the assembly and facilitating improvement of space utilization.

[0038] In some embodiments, at least part of the circumferential edge of the recess 21 is provided with a folded edge 22 , which extends toward one side of the air guide frame 2 along a second direction, the second direction being perpendicular to the first direction, and the folded edge 22 is used to block the gap around the recess 21 .

[0039] For example, Figure 4 As shown, the second direction can be the front-to-back direction, the air guide frame 2 is installed on the front side of the base 1, the folded edge 22 can be integrally formed on the front side of the air guide frame 2, the folded edge 22 can be a plate-like structure and can protrude toward the front side of the air guide frame 2, and the folded edge 22 can extend along the circumferential edge of the recess 21.

[0040] During assembly, the appearance parts such as the panel assembled on the front side of the air guide frame 2 can be stopped against the front side of the folded edge 22, and the folded edge 22 can block the gap between the air guide frame 2 and the appearance parts. That is, from the front side, due to the obstruction of the folded edge 22, only the recess 21 can be seen, and the gap between the appearance part and the air guide frame 2 cannot be seen, which avoids the black leakage and improves the overall appearance.

[0041] In some embodiments, the fold 22 includes a first fold 221 and a second fold 222 . The first fold 221 and the second fold 222 are arranged opposite to each other in the first direction, and at least part of the recess 21 is located between the first fold 221 and the second fold 222 .

[0042] For example, Figure 4As shown, the first folded edge 221 can be located on the right side of the recessed portion 21, and the second folded edge 222 can be located on the left side of the recessed portion 21. The first folded edge 221 and the second folded edge 222 can both be flat and arranged opposite to each other in the left-right direction. A portion of the recessed portion 21 can be located between the first folded edge 221 and the second folded edge 222. Thus, the first folded edge 221 and the second folded edge 222 can respectively block the gaps on the left and right sides of the recessed portion 21.

[0043] In some embodiments, one of the base 1 and the air guide frame 2 is provided with a plug-in hole 11 , and the other is provided with a plug-in portion 23 , which is plugged into the plug-in hole 11 to achieve plug-in assembly of the base 1 and the air guide frame 2 .

[0044] For example, Figure 5 As shown, the plug hole 11 can be provided on the top of the base 1 and located on the front side of the base 1, as shown in FIG. Figure 6 As shown, the plug-in portion 23 can be integrally formed on the top of the air guide frame 2 and located at the rear side of the air guide frame 2. During assembly, the plug-in portion 23 on the air guide frame 2 can be directly plugged into the plug-in hole 11, thereby pre-fixing the air guide frame 2 and the base 1, which is conducive to improving assembly efficiency.

[0045] In some other embodiments, the plug portion 23 may also be provided on the base 1 , and the plug hole 11 may be provided on the air guide frame 2 .

[0046] In some embodiments, the plugging direction of the plugging hole 11 and the plugging portion 23 is a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, and the base 1 and the air guide plate are arranged relative to each other in the second direction.

[0047] For example, the second direction can be the front-to-back direction, and the base 1 is set toward and close to the wall. At this time, since the plug-in direction of the plug-in portion 23 and the plug-in hole 11 is the front-to-back direction, the plug-in hole 11 on the air guide frame 2 can be directly plugged into the plug-in hole 11 along the front-to-back direction, thereby improving the convenience of assembly and disassembly.

[0048] In some embodiments, the plug-in portion 23 is provided on the air guide frame 2, and the plug-in portion 23 includes a plate portion 231 and a plurality of first ribs 232. The plate portion 231 cantilevers toward one side of the air guide frame 2 toward the base 1 in the second direction. The plurality of first ribs 232 are all provided on the plate portion 231 and are arranged at intervals in the first direction, and each first rib 232 extends along the second direction.

[0049] For example, Figure 6As shown, the first direction can be the left-right direction, and the second direction can be the front-back direction. The plate portion 231 can be generally rectangular, arranged horizontally, and can be located on the rear side of the top of the air guide 2. The plate portion 231 can generally extend in the front-back direction. The first ribs 232 can be provided in two, three, or four numbers. Multiple first ribs 232 can be arranged at equal intervals in the left-right direction, and each first rib 232 can generally extend in the front-back direction.

[0050] The first rib 232 can be arranged on the upper surface or the lower surface of the plate portion 231, so as to enhance the structural strength on the one hand, and on the other hand, when the plug-in portion 23 is plugged into the plug-in hole 11, the plate portion 231 and the first rib 232 will be inserted into the plug-in hole 11 at the same time, and the first rib 232 can be interference fit with the hole wall of the plug-in hole 11, thereby enhancing the limiting effect and ensuring the structural stability of the plug-in assembly.

[0051] In some embodiments, the plug-in portion 23 includes a second rib 233 . The second rib 233 is arranged to intersect with the first rib 232 . The second rib 233 extends along the second direction and is connected to the plurality of second ribs 233 .

[0052] For example, Figure 6 As shown, only one second rib 233 may be provided, the second rib 233 may extend in the left-right direction, each first rib 232 and second rib 233 may be arranged vertically, and the second rib 233 may be connected and fixed to each first rib 232 .

[0053] The second ribs 233 can be used to connect multiple first ribs 232 into one, thereby enhancing the structural strength in the left and right directions and enhancing the anti-torsion performance, thereby fully meeting the structural strength requirements of the plug-in portion 23.

[0054] In some embodiments, the second rib 233 and the plurality of first ribs 232 are disposed on the same side of the plate portion 231, and the first ribs 232 and the second ribs 233 are integrally formed with the plate portion 231. For example, the first rib 232 and the second rib 233 can both be disposed on the top side of the plate portion 231, and each first rib 232 and second rib 233 can be integrally formed with the plate portion 231 by injection molding, thereby facilitating the processing of the plug portion 23.

[0055] In some embodiments, the length of the plug-in portion 23 in the second direction is greater than the width of the plug-in portion 23 in the first direction. Specifically, the first direction is the left-right direction, and the second direction is the front-back direction. The overhang length of the plug-in portion 23 in the front-back direction is greater than the width of the plug-in portion 23 in the left-right direction, thereby fully meeting the use requirements of the front-back connection and enhancing the limiting effect.

[0056] In some embodiments, the height dimension of the plug-in portion 23 in the third direction is smaller than the width dimension of the plug-in portion 23 in the second direction, and the third direction is perpendicular to the first direction and the second direction. Figure 5 As shown, the third direction can be the up and down direction, and the height dimension of the plug-in portion 23 in the up and down direction is smaller than the width dimension in the left and right direction, so that the plug-in portion 23 is flat as a whole, so that the plug-in portion 23 can withstand a larger force in the left and right directions, meeting the use requirements of lateral limitation.

[0057] In some embodiments, at least some of the edges and corners of the plate portion 231 of the plug-in portion 23 are rounded corners 2311. Figure 6 As shown, the two corners of the rear end of the plate portion 231 can be rounded corners 2311. Thus, on the one hand, it can avoid the sharp corners of the plate portion 231 from easily scratching the base 1. On the other hand, the rounded corners 2311 also have a guiding function, thereby facilitating the insertion and assembly of the plug-in portion 23 into the plug-in hole 11.

[0058] In some embodiments, the plug portion 23 is integrally formed on the air guide frame 2, and the plug hole 11 is provided on the base 1. For example, the air guide frame 2 and the plug portion 23 may both be made of plastic, and the plug portion 23 may be integrally formed on the rear side of the air guide frame 2 by injection molding.

[0059] In some embodiments, as Figure 5 As shown, the plug hole 11 is provided on the base 1, as shown in FIG. Figure 6 As shown, the plug-in portion 23 is provided on the air guide 2, and multiple plug-in holes 11 and plug-in portions 23 are provided. The multiple plug-in holes 11 and the multiple plug-in portions 23 are arranged at intervals along the first direction, where the first direction is the left-right direction, and the multiple plug-in portions 23 are plugged and assembled into the multiple plug-in holes 11 in a one-to-one correspondence. This ensures the structural stability of the assembly of the air guide 2 and the base 1 at all positions in the left-right direction.

[0060] In some embodiments, the base 1 and the air guide frame 2 are connected by fasteners, and the base 1 is provided with a column 12 connected to the fasteners, and the air guide frame 2 is provided with a fixing hole 24 for the fasteners to pass through.

[0061] For example, Figure 5 As shown, the column 12 can be a threaded column, which can be arranged on the left side of the base 1 and can extend along the front-back direction, and a threaded hole is provided in the column 12. Figure 6 As shown, the fixing hole 24 can be provided on the left side of the air guide frame 2 and can extend through the air guide frame 2 in the front-to-back direction. The fastener can be a screw, etc. During assembly, the fastener is simply passed through the fixing hole 24 and threaded into the column 12, thereby ensuring the structural stability of the assembly of the air guide frame 2 and the base 1.
