Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of household appliance technology, and in particular to an air guide plate and an air conditioner. Background Technology

[0002] Air deflectors are an important component of air conditioners, typically installed at the air outlet to adjust and control the direction of the airflow. To prevent the cold or warm air from blowing directly on people and causing discomfort, air deflectors usually have ventilation holes to disperse the strong airflow from the air conditioner into a gentler breeze, thereby reducing the discomfort caused by cold or warm air blowing directly on the body.

[0003] However, in related technologies, the air guide plate has many ventilation holes on its surface, which can easily cause the mold to stick during the injection molding process of the parts, reducing production efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, the purpose of this application is to provide an air guide plate and an air conditioner.

[0005] The technical solution adopted in this application to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows:

[0006] In a first aspect, this application provides an air guide plate, which includes an integrally formed first plate and a second plate that are spaced apart. The first plate is provided with a first soft air hole, and the second plate is provided with a plurality of second soft air holes. The orthographic projection of some of the second soft air holes on the plane where the first soft air hole is located is entirely within the first soft air hole.

[0007] Optionally, in some embodiments of this application, the second soft air hole includes a side soft air hole and a middle soft air hole. The orthographic projection of the middle soft air hole on the plane where the first soft air hole is located is entirely within the first soft air hole, and the orthographic projection of the side soft air hole on the plane where the soft air hole is located is partially or entirely outside the first soft air hole.

[0008] Optionally, in some embodiments of this application, the orthographic projections of at least two second soft air holes on the plane where the first soft air hole is located are all located within the same first soft air hole; and / or, the number of second soft air holes is greater than the number of first soft air holes.

[0009] Optionally, in some embodiments of this application, the shapes of the first soft air hole and the second soft air hole are each independently one or more of the following: circular, elliptical, fan-shaped, arc-shaped, polygonal, rounded rectangle, and annular.

[0010] Optionally, in some embodiments of this application, the air guide plate further includes a connecting rib, which is located between the first plate and the second plate and is used to connect the first plate and the second plate.

[0011] Optionally, in some embodiments of this application, the first plate is provided with a plurality of first flexible air holes, the plurality of first flexible air holes are spaced apart along the length direction of the first plate, the connecting ribs include a plurality of first connecting ribs, and a first connecting rib is provided between adjacent first flexible air holes.

[0012] Optionally, in some embodiments of this application, the connecting rib includes two second connecting ribs, which are respectively located at both ends of the first plate along the length direction of the first plate.

[0013] Optionally, in some embodiments of this application, the first plate is provided with a first connecting portion at both ends along the length direction of the first plate for connecting with the housing of the air conditioner; and / or, the first plate is provided with a second connecting portion on the side away from the second plate for connecting with the air sweeping assembly of the air conditioner.

[0014] Secondly, embodiments of this application also provide an air conditioner, which includes the aforementioned air guide plate.

[0015] Optionally, in some embodiments of this application, the air conditioner includes a housing with an air outlet, an air guide plate located at the air outlet, and a first plate located between the housing and a second plate.

[0016] In summary, due to the adoption of the above technical solution, this application includes at least the following beneficial effects:

[0017] The air guide plate provided in this application has a first soft air hole on the first plate and multiple second soft air holes on the second plate. The airflow is blown out after passing through the first and second soft air holes. The first and second soft air holes can change the direction and speed of the airflow, disperse and soften it, and reduce the direct impact of the airflow. The first and second soft air holes can also promote the uniform distribution of the blown airflow, making the blown air softer and more comfortable. The orthogonal projection of some of the second soft air holes on the plane where the first soft air hole is located is entirely within the first soft air hole. This allows these second soft air holes and the first soft air hole to be demolded along the side of the first plate away from the second plate. The remaining second soft air holes are demolded along the side of the second plate away from the first plate, avoiding the problem of easy film sticking when all the second soft air holes are demolded from the same side. The air guide plate provided in this application is easier to demold during the manufacturing process, improving production efficiency. Attached Figure Description

Any embodiment described as exemplary in this application is not necessarily to be construed as being more preferred or advantageous than other embodiments. The following description is provided to enable any person skilled in the art to make and use this application. Details are set forth in the following description for purposes of explanation. It should be understood that those skilled in the art will recognize that this application can be made without using these specific details. In other instances, known structures and processes are not described in detail to avoid obscuring the description of this application with unnecessary detail. Therefore, this application is not intended to be limited to the embodiments shown, but is consistent with the broadest scope of the principles disclosed in this application.

[0035] To facilitate understanding of the present application, the spline curves and arrows used in the reference numerals in the accompanying drawings are explained below: spline curves without arrows indicate solid parts, that is, parts with solid structures; spline curves with arrows indicate virtual parts, that is, parts without solid structures.

[0036] Firstly, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 This application provides an air guide plate 10, which includes a first plate 11 and a second plate 12 integrally formed and spaced apart. The first plate 11 is provided with a first soft air hole 111, and the second plate 12 is provided with a plurality of second soft air holes 121. The orthographic projection of some of the second soft air holes 121 on the plane where the first soft air hole 111 is located is entirely within the first soft air hole 111.

[0037] It should be noted that the plane on which the first soft air hole 111 is located refers to the tangent plane made with the point on the first soft air hole 111 that is the shortest distance from the first plate 11 as the tangent point.

[0038] The air guide plate 10 provided in this application has a first soft air hole 111 on the first plate body 11 and a plurality of second soft air holes 121 on the second plate body 12. Airflow passes through the first soft air hole 111 and the second soft air hole 121 before being blown out. The first soft air hole 111 and the second soft air hole 121 can change the direction and velocity of the airflow, dispersing and softening it, reducing the direct impact of the airflow. The first soft air hole 111 and the second soft air hole 121 can also promote the uniform distribution of the blown airflow, making the blown air softer and more comfortable. The orthographic projection of the second soft air hole 121 onto the plane where the first soft air hole 111 is located is entirely within the first soft air hole 111. This allows the portion of the second soft air hole 121 and the first soft air hole 111 to be demolded along the side of the first plate 11 away from the second plate 12, while the remaining second soft air holes 121 are demolded along the side of the second plate 12 away from the first plate 11. This avoids the problem of all second soft air holes 121 being easily stuck to the film when demolded from the same side. The air guide plate 10 provided in this application is easier to demold during the manufacturing process, thus improving production efficiency.

[0039] In some embodiments, the second soft air hole 121 includes a side soft air hole 1211 and a middle soft air hole 1212. The orthographic projection of the middle soft air hole 1212 onto the plane containing the first soft air hole 111 is entirely within the first soft air hole 111, while the orthographic projection of the side soft air hole 1211 onto the plane containing the soft air hole is partially or entirely outside the first soft air hole 111. It can be understood that during the manufacturing process, the middle soft air hole 1212 and the first soft air hole 111 are demolded along the side of the first plate 11 away from the second plate 12, and the side soft air hole 1211 is demolded along the side of the second plate 12 away from the first plate 11.

[0040] In some embodiments, the number of second soft air holes 121 is greater than the number of first soft air holes 111. Furthermore, the area of ​​each second soft air hole 121 is smaller than the area of ​​each first soft air hole 111. In other words, the second soft air holes 121 are more densely packed and have a smaller inner diameter than the first soft air holes 111, which can cut the airflow into finer airflow and disperse it more effectively. However, if there are too many second soft air holes 121, and the demolding occurs along the same side, the contact area between the mold 200 and the second soft air holes 121 is large, and the distance between adjacent second soft air holes 121 is close, making it easy for them to interfere with each other during the demolding process, thus affecting the final demolding effect.

[0041] Please see Figure 6 and Figure 7In this design, during the fabrication process of the air guide plate 10 using the mold 200, the mold 200 includes a front mold 210 and a rear mold 220. The rear mold 220 can extract the core of the middle soft air hole 1212 through the first soft air hole 111, thereby enabling the demolding of the middle soft air hole 1212 and the second soft air hole 121. The front mold 210 only needs to extract the core of a portion of the second soft air hole 121, i.e., the side soft air hole 1211. In other words, the rear mold 220 shares some of the demolding of the second soft air hole 121, reducing the adhesion force of the front mold 210 and making it more conducive to the demolding of the front mold 210. Under the premise of ensuring that the second plate 12 has a sufficient number of soft air holes, the demolding and fabrication efficiency of the second plate 12 is improved.

[0042] Furthermore, the mold 200 also includes a slider 230. During the preparation of the air guide plate 10, the slider 230 presses against the periphery of the second plate 12 to prevent the second plate 12 from being pulled and deformed or pulled off by the front mold 210 during the core pulling process, thus affecting the demolding effect.

[0043] In some embodiments, the orthographic projections of at least two second soft air holes 121 onto the plane containing the first soft air hole 111 are all located within the same first soft air hole 111. Specifically, the orthographic projections of at least two intermediate soft air holes 1212 onto the plane containing the first soft air hole 111 are all located within the same first soft air hole 111. Thus, the second plate 12 having a suitable number of intermediate soft air holes 1212 can be ejected from the rear mold 220.

[0044] In some embodiments, the shapes of the first soft air hole 111 and the second soft air hole 121 are each independently one or more of the following: circular, elliptical, fan-shaped, arc-shaped, polygonal, rounded rectangle, and annular. Among them, polygonal shapes include, but are not limited to, triangles, squares, rectangles, parallelograms, and trapezoids. An annular shape refers to a shape with a rectangle in the middle and arc-shaped sides on both sides.

[0045] Furthermore, the second soft air vent 121 has two or more shapes to disperse the airflow to different degrees, making the airflow softer and improving comfort.

[0046] For example, please refer again Figure 5In one specific embodiment, the second soft air hole 121 includes a circular hole, a short annular hole, and a long annular hole. Both the short and long annular holes extend along the width direction of the second plate 12, and the length of the short annular hole is less than the length of the long annular hole. The second soft air hole 121 is arranged in three rows along the width direction of the second plate 12. The first and third rows consist of staggered short annular holes and circular holes along the length direction of the second plate 12, and the second row also consists of staggered short annular holes and long annular holes along the length direction of the second plate 12. The first soft air hole 111 includes a large long annular hole that extends along the length direction of the first plate 11 and is located in the middle of the first plate 11 along the width direction of the second plate 12. The length of the long annular hole is less than the width of the large long annular hole, so that the orthographic projections of some of the long and short annular holes in the second row onto the plane of the first soft air hole 111 are all within the first soft air hole 111, allowing for demolding using the rear mold 220. The orthographic projections of the round holes in the first and third rows onto the plane where the first soft air hole 111 is located are all outside the first soft air hole 111. The orthographic projections of the short annular holes in the first and third rows onto the plane where the first soft air hole 111 is located are partly outside the first soft air hole 111 and partly inside the first soft air hole 111. The second soft air holes 121 in the first and third rows are all demolded using the front mold 210.

[0047] In some embodiments, the air guide plate 10 further includes a connecting rib 13, which is located between the first plate 11 and the second plate 12 and is used to connect the first plate 11 and the second plate 12. The connecting rib 13 can improve the strength of the air guide plate 10, reduce the deformation of the first plate 11 and the second plate 12, and facilitate the flow of glue during the injection molding process of the mold 200 during the manufacturing process.

[0048] In some embodiments, the first plate 11 is provided with a plurality of first flexible air holes 111, which are spaced apart along the length of the first plate 11. The connecting rib 13 includes a plurality of first connecting ribs 131, and a first connecting rib 131 is provided between adjacent first flexible air holes 111. The plurality of first connecting ribs 131 can optimize the stress distribution of the air guide plate 10 and further enhance the strength of the air guide plate 10.

[0049] In some embodiments, the connecting rib 13 includes two second connecting ribs 132, which are respectively located at both ends of the first plate 11 along its length. The second connecting ribs 132 at the ends can reduce end buckling and the resulting deformation, and the second connecting ribs 132 at the ends can protect the first connecting rib 131 in the middle from the influence of other components at both ends.

[0050] In some embodiments, the first plate 11 has first connecting portions 14 at both ends along its length for connecting with the housing 20 of the air conditioner 100. Specifically, the first connecting portions 14 are provided on the second connecting ribs 132, which can increase the contact area and improve the connection strength with the housing 20.

[0051] In some embodiments, a second connecting portion 15 is provided on the side of the first plate 11 away from the second plate 12 for connecting to the air sweeping assembly 30 of the air conditioner 100. The second connecting portion 15 can support the first air guide plate 10, preventing the first plate 11 from deforming and collapsing towards the inside of the housing 20. The second connecting portion 15 can also hold the air guide plate 10, preventing the second plate 12 from falling off the housing 20 to the outside of the air conditioner 100.

[0052] Secondly, please refer to Figure 8 This application embodiment also provides an air conditioner 100, which includes the air guide plate 10 described above.

[0053] In some embodiments, the air conditioner 100 includes a housing 20, an air outlet is provided on the housing 20, an air guide plate 10 is located at the air outlet, and a first plate 11 is located between the housing 20 and the second plate 12.

[0054] In some embodiments, the air guide plate 10 is connected to both sides of the air outlet on the housing 20 via the first connecting portion 14.

[0055] In some embodiments, the air conditioner 100 further includes a swing assembly 30, which is located inside the housing 20. The swing assembly 30 includes a base, and a first plate 11 is fixedly connected to the base via a second connecting portion 15.

[0056] In some embodiments, the air conditioner 100 further includes a baffle 40 located on the side of the second plate 12 away from the first plate 11. The baffle 40 is rotatably connected to the housing 20 and is used to close and open the air outlet.

[0057] During the operation of the air conditioner 100 provided in this application embodiment, the airflow inside the air conditioner 100 passes through the first soft air hole 111 and the second soft air hole 121 in sequence before being blown out. The first soft air hole 111, with its larger area, initially disperses the airflow. The initially dispersed airflow then passes through the smaller and more densely packed second soft air hole 121 before being blown out. The first soft air hole 111 and the second soft air hole 121 disperse and soften the airflow by changing its direction and speed, reducing the direct impact of the airflow, promoting the uniform distribution of the blown airflow, and making the blown air more gentle and comfortable.
