[0062] The term "and / or" is a description of the association between objects, which means that there can be three relationships. For example, A and / or B, which means: A or B, or, A and B, the three relationships.

[0063] It should be noted that the embodiments in the embodiments of the present disclosure and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.

[0064] In combination Figures 1-30 The embodiments of the present disclosure provide a connecting rod.

[0065] The connecting rod is configured to be connected to the driven member to drive the driven member to move.

[0066] The connecting rod is fixedly connected or movably connected with the driven member, and when movably connected, can be rotatably connected or slidably connected.

[0067] The connecting rod can be in the form of a rack 7, which is connected with the driven member for driving the driven member to move. It can be understood that the connecting rod can also be a component without teeth, and the driven member can also be driven to move by the movement of the connecting rod. When the connecting rod is the rack 7, the disclosure also provides a gear 61 engaged with the rack 7. When the gear 61 and the rack 7 are applied to an air conditioner, the driven member can be a guide vane 2. It can be understood that the driven member can also be other components that need to have multiple target positions, especially components that need to be flipped. In this application, the driven member is taken as the guide vane 2 for illustration.

[0068] The air conditioner includes an indoor unit, which includes a shell 1, an indoor heat exchanger, and a fan. The shell 1 defines an air duct and is provided with an air inlet and an air outlet, both of which are in communication with the air duct.

[0069] The fan and the indoor heat exchanger are located in the air duct. Under the action of the fan, air enters the air duct through the air inlet, exchanges heat with the indoor heat exchanger, and is blown out from the air outlet.

[0070] The guide vane 2 is arranged at the air outlet and can move relative to the air outlet to realize multiple air guiding forms.

[0071] The driving device for the guide vane 2 of the air conditioner includes the above-mentioned gear 61 and rack 7.

[0072] The gear 61 is controlled to rotate.

[0073] As shown in Figure 5 and Figure 13 , the rack 7 is provided with a first tooth segment 711 and a second tooth segment 712 arranged in sequence along the length direction of the rack 7, both of which can be engaged with the gear 61, and the rack 7 is connected with the guide vane 2; wherein when the gear 61 is engaged with the first tooth segment 711, the gear 61 and the rack 7 are one of internally engaged and externally engaged; and when the gear 61 is engaged with the second tooth segment 712, the gear 61 and the rack 7 are the other one of internally engaged and externally engaged.

[0074] The gear 61 can be driven to rotate by a driving member 62, which can be a motor. The motor can directly drive the gear 61 to rotate, or can intermittently drive the gear 61 to rotate through other transmission members, which can be a driving gear 61 or a belt, etc.

[0075] The rack 7 is connected with the air deflector 2, which can be fixed connection, for example, one of the rack 7 and the air deflector 2 is provided with a connecting column, and the other is provided with a connecting hole, the connecting column and the connecting hole are matched, the connecting column is inserted into the connecting hole, the cross section of the connecting hole is non-circular, and the outer surface of the cross section of the connecting column is also non-circular, so as to avoid the rotation of the connecting column relative to the connecting hole, realize the fixation of the rack 7 and the air deflector 2, and thus the movement of the rack 7 can be accurately transmitted to the air deflector 2, so as to better control the movement of the air deflector 2; the rack 7 and the air deflector 2 can also be movably connected, for example, rotationally connected or slidably connected.

[0076] As shown in Figure 5 and Figure 13 , when the gear 61 is engaged with the first tooth segment 711, the gear 61 and the rack 7 are internally engaged; when the gear 61 is engaged with the second tooth segment 712, the gear 61 and the rack 7 are externally engaged. Alternatively, when the gear 61 is engaged with the first tooth segment 711, the gear 61 and the rack 7 are externally engaged; when the gear 61 is engaged with the second tooth segment 712, the gear 61 and the rack 7 are internally engaged.

[0077] In this way, the gear 61 and the rack 7 will switch between internal engagement and external engagement during engagement. Because the rotation center of the rack 7 will be different during internal engagement and external engagement, the rotation direction of the air deflector 2 will be different, which can drive the air deflector 2 to rotate in different directions, for example, the air deflector 2 can rotate clockwise and counterclockwise, thereby realizing the requirements of cooling updraft and heating downblast.

[0078] Due to the change of the rotation center of the rack 7, the rotation direction of the air deflector 2 changes, so that the rack 7 can drive the air deflector 2 to rotate in different directions, without the need to additionally provide other racks 7 or connecting rods, thereby greatly simplifying the structure of the driving device for the air deflector 2 of the air conditioner.

[0079] In other words, the number of the rack 7 is one, and no other connecting rod is connected to the air deflector 2.

[0080] During the opening process of the air deflector 2, the switching between internal engagement and external engagement of the gear 61 and the rack 7 is used to realize the turning of the air deflector 2, therefore, during the opening process of the air deflector 2, the motor rotates unidirectionally throughout the process, thereby simplifying the control of the motor.

[0081] Optionally, as shown in Figure 18 , the rack 7 is also provided with a third tooth segment 713, the third tooth segment 713 is a straight tooth segment, and the third tooth segment 713 can be engaged with the gear 61.

[0082] The third tooth segment 713 extends along the length of the rack 7 and is a straight tooth segment. When the gear 61 meshes with the third tooth segment 713, it drives the rack 7 to move in a straight direction. The rack 7 drives the air guide plate 2 to move in a straight direction, thereby extending or retracting the air guide plate 2.

[0083] The extension or retraction of the air guide plate 2, combined with the rotation of the air guide plate 2 in different directions, can achieve a variety of air guiding forms.

[0084] Optionally, the first tooth segment 711, the second tooth segment 712, and the third tooth segment 713 are arranged sequentially along the length of the rack 7, and the gear 61 meshes with the first tooth segment 711, the second tooth segment 712, and the third tooth segment 713 in sequence during the opening of the air guide plate 2.

[0085] During the opening of the air guide plate 2, gear 61 first meshes with the first tooth segment 711, realizing the rotation of rack 7, thereby realizing the rotation of air guide plate 2 in the first direction, achieving cooling upward blowing or heating downward blowing. The following example uses cooling upward blowing. Figures 10 to 14 As shown. Gear 61 then meshes with the second tooth segment 712, driving the air guide plate 2 to rotate in a second direction opposite to the first direction. The central angle corresponding to the first tooth segment 711 is greater than the central angle corresponding to the second tooth segment 712. Subsequently, gear 61 meshes with the third tooth segment 713, and rack 7 extends outward, driving the air guide plate 2 to extend outward, achieving small-circle air delivery, as shown. Figures 15 to 18 As shown. One of the first and second directions is clockwise, and the other is counterclockwise.

[0086] Optionally, such as Figure 20 As shown, the rack 7 is also provided with a fourth tooth segment 714. The first tooth segment 711, the second tooth segment 712, the third tooth segment 713 and the fourth tooth segment 714 are arranged sequentially along the length direction of the rack 7. The fourth tooth segment 714 can mesh with the gear 61. When the fourth tooth segment 714 meshes with the gear 61, the gear 61 and the rack 7 are engaged in the other of internal meshing and external meshing. In other words, when the gear 61 meshes with the fourth tooth segment 714, the air guide plate 2 rotates in the second direction.

[0087] like Figure 12 As shown, the air outlet includes a first air outlet area 111 and a second air outlet area 112. The indoor unit also includes a guide plate 3. The first air outlet area 111 and the second air outlet area 112 are arranged sequentially along the width direction of the air outlet. The guide plate 2 is located in the first air outlet area 111 and is used to open or close the first air outlet area 111 and adjust the air outlet direction of the first air outlet area 111. The guide plate 3 is located in the second air outlet area 112 and is used to open or close the second air outlet area 112 and adjust the air outlet direction of the second air outlet area 112.

[0088] Taking the air conditioner as an example, the first air outlet area 111 and the second air outlet area 112 are arranged in sequence along the up-down direction. As shown in Figure 12 , the first air outlet area 111 is located below the second air outlet area 112. It can be understood that the first air outlet area 111 can also be located above the second air outlet area 112.

[0089] As shown in Figures 19 to 22 , when the gear 61 engages with the fourth tooth segment 714, the air deflector 2 rotates in the second direction, at this time, the guide plate 3 rotates towards the direction of the air deflector 2, and the guide plate 3 abuts against the guide plate, realizing large ring embrace air supply, wherein under the same conditions, the air supply amount of large ring embrace air supply is greater than that of small ring embrace air supply.

[0090] Optionally, the central angle corresponding to the fourth tooth segment 714 is greater than the central angle corresponding to the second tooth segment 712.

[0091] In this way, when the gear 61 engages with the fourth tooth segment 714, it can drive the air deflector 2 to rotate a larger angle, and the rotation angle is greater than that driven by the gear 61 engaging with the second tooth segment 712. The large-angle rotation of the air deflector 2 drives the air deflector 2 to move to the heating lower blowing position, realizing heating lower blowing.

[0092] The central angle corresponding to the fourth tooth segment 714 is the central angle corresponding to the fourth tooth segment 714; the central angle corresponding to the second tooth segment 712 is the central angle corresponding to the second tooth segment 712.

[0093] Optionally, as shown in Figure 23 , the rack 7 further has a fifth tooth segment 715, and the first tooth segment 711 to the fifth tooth segment 715 are arranged in sequence, that is, the first tooth segment 711, the second tooth segment 712, the third tooth segment 713, the fourth tooth segment 714 and the fifth tooth segment 715 are arranged in sequence, and the fifth tooth segment 715 is a straight tooth segment.

[0094] The fifth tooth segment 715 extends along the length direction of the rack 7 and is a straight tooth segment. In this way, when the gear 61 engages with the fifth tooth segment 715, it drives the rack 7 to move in a straight line direction, and the rack 7 drives the air deflector 2 to move in a straight line direction, realizing the outward extension or retraction of the air deflector 2.

[0095] After the air deflector 2 moves from the heating lower blowing position, it extends in a straight line direction to cooperate with the rotation of the air deflector 2 in different directions, thereby realizing various air deflection forms of the air deflector 2.

[0096] Optionally, as shown in Figure 26As shown, the rack 7 is further provided with a sixth tooth segment 716, and the first tooth segment 711 to the sixth tooth segment 716 are sequentially arranged, i.e., the first tooth segment 711, the second tooth segment 712, the third tooth segment 713, the fourth tooth segment 714, the fifth tooth segment 715 and the sixth tooth segment 716 are sequentially arranged, the sixth tooth segment 716 is capable of engaging with the gear 61, and when the sixth tooth segment 716 engages with the gear 61, the gear 61 and the rack 7 are the other one of the internal engagement and the external engagement.

[0097] When the sixth tooth segment 716 engages with the gear 61, the rack 7 drives the air deflector 2 to rotate in the second direction to reach the maximum air supply position, and at this time, the air supply amount can reach the maximum.

[0098] Optionally, the central angle corresponding to the sixth tooth segment 716 is greater than the central angle corresponding to the second tooth segment 712.

[0099] In this way, when the gear 61 engages with the sixth tooth segment 716, it can drive the air deflector 2 to rotate a large angle, and the rotation angle is greater than the rotation angle of the air deflector 2 driven by the gear 61 engaging with the second tooth segment 712. The large-angle rotation of the air deflector 2 drives the air deflector 2 to move to the maximum air supply position, thereby realizing maximum air supply.

[0100] The central angle corresponding to the sixth tooth segment 716 is the central angle corresponding to the sixth tooth segment 716.

[0101] The central angles and radii corresponding to the first tooth segment 711, the second tooth segment 712, the fourth tooth segment 714 and the sixth tooth segment 716, and the lengths of the third tooth segment 713 and the fifth tooth segment 715 are related to the air deflector positions of the air deflector 2, and in actual application, they need to be determined according to the specific positions of the air deflector positions of the air deflector 2.

[0102] In a specific embodiment, the first tooth segment 711, the second tooth segment 712, the fourth tooth segment 714 and the sixth tooth segment 716 are all circular arcs, and the central angle of the first tooth segment 711 is 12°, the central angle of the second tooth segment 712 is 18°, the central angle of the fourth tooth segment 714 is 67°, the central angle of the sixth tooth segment 716 is 32°, the length of the third tooth segment 713 is greater than the length of the fifth tooth segment 715, the length of the third tooth segment 713 is 20 mm, and the length of the fifth tooth segment 715 is 18.6 mm.

[0103] The radius of the circle on which the first tooth section 711 is located, the radius of the circle on which the second tooth section 712 is located, the radius of the circle on which the fourth tooth section 714 is located, and the radius of the circle on which the sixth tooth section 716 is located increase in turn. In this way, when the gear 61 is engaged with the first tooth section 711, the movement speed of the rack 7, when the gear 61 is engaged with the second tooth section 712, the movement speed of the rack 7, when the gear 61 is engaged with the fourth tooth section 714, the movement speed of the rack 7, and when the gear 61 is engaged with the sixth tooth section 716, the movement speed of the rack 7 decrease in turn, and the movement speed of the air deflector 2 decreases correspondingly. Since the length of the rack 7 extending out of the air outlet is large at the later stage of the opening of the air deflector 2, and the air deflector 2 has already completely left the air outlet, the design that the movement speed of the rack 7 decreases and the movement of the air deflector 2 slows down as the air deflector 2 opens can make the movement of the rack 7 and the air deflector 2 more stable, and avoid the rack 7 from shaking and driving the air deflector 2 to shake.

[0104] As shown in Figure 23 , the gear 61 is located on one side of the rack 7, and the rack 7 is connected with the driven member.

[0105] As shown in Figure 31 , the pitch curve of the rack 7 includes at least two of the first arc section A1A2, the second arc section A2A3, and the first straight line section A4A5, wherein one of the curvature center O1 of the first arc section A1A2 and the curvature center O2 of the second arc section A2A3 is located on the side of the rack 7 facing the gear 61, and the other is located on the side of the rack 7 away from the gear 61.

[0106] When the curvature center O1 of the first arc section A1A2 is located on the side of the rack 7 facing the gear 61, the curvature center O2 of the second arc section A2A3 is located on the side of the rack 7 away from the gear 61; when the curvature center of the first arc section A1A2 is located on the side of the rack 7 away from the gear 61, the curvature center of the second arc section A2A3 is located on the side of the rack 7 facing the gear 61. In this way, the rotation direction of the rack 7 when the gear 61 is engaged with the teeth corresponding to the first arc section A1A2 on the rack 7 and the rotation direction of the rack 7 when the gear 61 is engaged with the teeth corresponding to the second arc section A2A3 on the rack 7 are different.

[0107] As shown in Figure 31As shown, when the pitch curve of rack 7 includes the first arc segment A1A2 and the second arc segment A2A3, the rotation direction of rack 7 when gear 61 meshes with the teeth corresponding to the first arc segment A1A2 is different from the rotation direction of rack 7 when gear 61 meshes with the teeth corresponding to the second arc segment A2A3. This results in different rotation directions of the air guide plate 2, allowing rack 7 to drive air guide plate 2 to rotate in different directions without the need for additional connecting rods. This simplifies the structure of rack 7 and, by controlling the position of air guide plate 2 through rack 7, eliminates the need for additional connecting rods, preventing connecting rods from affecting the position of air guide plate 2 and reducing factors influencing its position, thereby improving the positional accuracy of air guide plate 2.

[0108] When the pitch curve of the rack 7 includes the first arc segment A1A2 and the first straight segment A4A5, when the gear 61 meshes with the teeth corresponding to the first arc segment A1A2 on the rack 7, it can drive the rack 7 to rotate, thereby driving the air guide plate 2 to rotate. When the gear 61 meshes with the teeth corresponding to the first straight segment A4A5 on the rack 7, it can drive the rack 7 to make linear motion, thereby driving the air guide plate 2 to make linear motion. Thus, multiple motion forms of the air guide plate 2 can be realized, thereby realizing multiple target positions of the air guide plate 2.

[0109] like Figure 31 As shown, when the pitch curve of the rack 7 includes the second arc segment A2A3 and the first straight segment A4A5, when the gear 61 meshes with the teeth corresponding to the second arc segment A2A3 on the rack 7, it can drive the rack 7 to rotate, thereby driving the air guide plate 2 to rotate. When the gear 61 meshes with the teeth corresponding to the first straight segment A4A5 on the rack 7, it can drive the rack 7 to make linear motion, thereby driving the air guide plate 2 to make linear motion. Thus, multiple motion forms of the air guide plate 2 can be realized, thereby realizing multiple target positions of the air guide plate 2.

[0110] like Figure 31 As shown, when the pitch curve of the rack 7 includes the first arc segment A1A2, the second arc segment A2A3, and the first straight segment A4A5, it can further increase the target position of the air guide plate 2, and also make the target positions have greater differences.

[0111] Optionally, the pitch curve of the rack 7 includes a first arc segment A1A2, a second arc segment A2A3, and a first straight segment A4A5, which are arranged sequentially along the length direction of the rack 7.

[0112] The teeth corresponding to the first arc segment A1A2 on the rack 7 are a first tooth segment 711, the teeth corresponding to the second arc segment A2A3 are a second tooth segment 712, and the teeth corresponding to the first straight line segment A4A5 are a third tooth segment 713.

[0113] During the opening process of the deflector 2, the gear 61 first engages with the first tooth segment 711 to realize the rotation of the rack 7, thereby realizing the rotation of the deflector 2 in the first direction and realizing the upward refrigeration. The gear 61 then engages with the second tooth segment 712 to drive the deflector 2 to rotate in the second direction opposite to the first direction, and the subsequent gear 61 engages with the third tooth segment 713. The rack 7 extends outward to drive the deflector 2 to extend outward, thereby realizing the small ring embrace air supply.

[0114] Alternatively, in the case that the pitch curve of the rack 7 includes the first arc segment A1A2 and the first straight line segment A4A5 connected, the pitch curve of the rack 7 further includes a first transition segment, the first transition segment is connected between the first arc segment A1A2 and the first straight line segment A4A5, the first transition segment is arc-shaped, and the tangent line of the end of the first transition segment coincides with the first straight line segment A4A5.

[0115] In other words, the first arc segment A1A2, the first transition segment, and the first straight line segment A4A5 are sequentially arranged. The end of the first transition segment refers to one end of the first transition segment connected with the first straight line segment A4A5.

[0116] The tangent direction of the end of the first arc segment A1A2 (i.e., one end of the first arc segment A1A2 close to the first straight line segment A4A5) is not parallel to the first straight line segment A4A5, therefore, the first transition segment is added to adjust the position of the tangent point of the gear 61 and the rack 7, so as to enable the rack 7 to switch to the linear direction movement.

[0117] The first transition segment is a circular arc on the pitch curve of the gear 61.

[0118] Alternatively, in the case that the pitch curve of the rack 7 includes the second arc segment A2A3 and the first straight line segment A4A5 connected, the pitch curve of the rack 7 further includes a second transition segment A3A4, the second transition segment A3A4 is connected between the second arc segment A2A3 and the first straight line segment A4A5, the second transition segment A3A4 is arc-shaped, and the tangent line of the end of the second transition segment A3A4 coincides with the first straight line segment A4A5.

[0119] In other words, the second arc segment A2A3, the first transition segment, and the first straight line segment A4A5 are sequentially arranged. The end of the first transition segment refers to one end of the first transition segment connected with the first straight line segment A4A5.

[0120] The tangent direction of the end of the second arc segment A2A3 (i.e. the end of the second arc segment A2A3 near the first straight segment A4A5) is not parallel to the first straight segment A4A5. Therefore, a first transition segment is added to adjust the position of the tangent point between the gear 61 and the rack 7 so that the rack 7 can switch to move in the direction of a straight line.

[0121] The first transition section is an arc on the curve of the 61-section gear.

[0122] Optionally, such as Figure 31 As shown, when the pitch curve of rack 7 includes the first straight segment A4A5, the pitch curve of rack 7 also includes a third arc segment A6A7. The third arc segment A6A7 connects to the end of the first straight segment A4A5 that is away from the first arc segment A1A2 or the second arc segment A2A3, that is, the third arc segment A6A7 connects to the end of the first straight segment A4A5. The center of curvature of the third arc segment A6A7 is located on the side of rack 7 facing or away from gear 61. Figure 31 As shown, the curvature center O3 of the third arc segment A6A7 is located on the side of the rack 7 facing the gear 61. At this time, the tooth on the rack 7 corresponding to the third arc segment A6A7 is the fourth tooth segment 714.

[0123] The arc segment is designed so that when the gear 61 meshes with the corresponding tooth segment 713 on the rack 7, the rack 7 no longer moves in a straight line but rotates instead, thereby further enriching the number of target positions of the air guide plate 2 and increasing the differences between multiple target positions.

[0124] When the curvature center of the third arc segment A6A7 is located on the side of the rack 7 facing the gear 61, the gear 61 meshes with the corresponding tooth phase of the third tooth segment 713 on the rack 7, and the gear 61 and the rack 7 are internally meshed, causing the air guide plate 2 to rotate in the second direction; when the curvature center of the third arc segment A6A7 is located on the side of the rack 7 away from the gear 61, the gear 61 meshes with the corresponding tooth phase of the third tooth segment 713 on the rack 7, and the gear 61 and the rack 7 are externally meshed, causing the air guide plate 2 to rotate in the first direction.

[0125] Optionally, such as Figure 31 As shown, the pitch curve of rack 7 also includes a third transition segment A5A6, which connects the third arc segment A6A7 and the first straight segment A4A5. The third transition segment A5A6 is arc-shaped and the tangent at the starting end of the third transition segment A5A6 coincides with the first straight segment A4A5.

[0126] The first straight segment A4A5, the third transition segment A5A6, and the third arc segment A6A7 are set sequentially. The starting end of the third transition segment A5A6 is the end of the third transition segment A5A6 that connects to the first straight segment A4A5.

[0127] The third arc segment A6A7 cannot be tangent to the first straight segment A4A5, that is, the point of intersection (meshing point) of the gear 61 and the rack 7 moving along the first straight segment A4A5 does not coincide with the meshing point of the gear 61 and the third arc segment A6A7. Therefore, the third transition segment A5A6 is added to adjust the position of the meshing point of the gear 61 and the rack 7.

[0128] The third transition segment A5A6 is a circular arc on the pitch curve of the gear 61.

[0129] Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 7, the pitch curve of the rack 7 further includes a second straight segment A7A8 connected at one end of the third arc segment A6A7 away from the first straight segment A4A5, and the second straight segment A7A8 coincides with the tangent line at the terminal end of the third arc segment A6A7. Figure 31

[0130] The tooth corresponding to the second straight segment A7A8 on the rack 7 is a fifth tooth segment 715.

[0131] The first straight segment A4A5, the third arc segment A6A7, and the second straight segment A7A8 are sequentially arranged along the length direction of the rack 7.

[0132] The second straight segment A7A8 coincides with the tangent line at the terminal end of the third arc segment A6A7 (i.e., one end of the third arc segment A6A7 connected to the second straight segment A7A8), so that the gear 61 can be smoothly switched from meshing with the fourth tooth segment 714 to meshing with the fifth tooth segment 715.

[0133] Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 7, the pitch curve of the rack 7 further includes a fourth arc segment A8A9 connected at one end of the second straight segment A7A8 away from the third arc segment A6A7, the tangent line at the starting end of the fourth arc segment A8A9 coincides with the second straight segment A7A8, and the center of curvature O4 of the fourth arc segment A8A9 is located on the side of the rack 7 facing or away from the gear 61. Figure 31 When the center of curvature of the fourth arc segment A8A9 is located on the side of the rack 7 facing the gear 61, the tooth corresponding to the third arc segment A6A7 on the rack 7 is a sixth tooth segment 716.

[0134] The third arc segment A6A7, the second straight segment A7A8, and the fourth arc segment A8A9 are sequentially arranged along the length direction of the rack 7.

[0135]

[0136] ​​The tangent line of the starting end of the fourth arc-shaped section A8A9 (i.e., the end of the fourth arc-shaped section A8A9 connected with the second straight section A7A8) coincides with the second straight section A7A8, so that the gear 61 can be smoothly switched from the tooth corresponding to the second straight section A7A8 to the tooth corresponding to the fourth arc-shaped section A8A9.

[0137] The guiding part 84 is further provided. The connecting rod is provided with a first guiding part 72; the guiding part 84 is provided with a first guiding matching part 81; during the opening process of the air deflector 2, the first guiding part 72 is switched between a guiding position matched with the first guiding matching part 81 and a separation position separated from the first guiding matching part 81 (as shown in Figure 17 , Figure 3 , Figure 12 In the guiding position, the first guiding part 72 is used to guide the movement of the connecting rod.

[0138] During the opening process of the air deflector 2, the first guiding part 72 and the first guiding matching part 81 have the guiding position matched with each other and the separation position separated from each other, that is, the first guiding part 72 and the first guiding matching part 81 are not always in the matched state; when the first guiding part 72 and the first guiding matching part 81 do not need to be matched, the first guiding part 72 and the first guiding matching part 81 are separated from each other, so that the matching length of the first guiding part 72 and / or the first guiding matching part 81 can be reduced, and the size of the driving device for the air deflector 2 of the air conditioner can be reduced.

[0139] Optionally, one of the first guiding part 72 and the first guiding matching part 81 is a first guiding groove 811, and the other is a first guiding column 721, as shown in Figure 3 , Figure 12 In the guiding position, the first guiding column 721 is located in the first guiding groove 811 and can slide relative to the first guiding groove 811; in the separation position, the first guiding column 721 is located outside the first guiding groove 811. Figure 17

[0140] The first guiding column 721 is matched with the first guiding groove 811. In the guiding position, the first guiding column 721 is located in the first guiding groove 811, and with the movement of the connecting rod, the first guiding column 721 slides relative to the first guiding groove 811 to realize the guiding and limiting of the movement of the connecting rod, so that the connecting rod moves along the preset movement track.

[0141] In the separation position, the first guiding column 721 is located outside the first guiding groove 811 and no longer matches with the first guiding groove 811, so that the guiding and limiting effect on the movement of the connecting rod is no longer achieved.

[0142] ​Optionally, the connecting rod is further provided with a second guide part, the guide 84 is provided with a second guide matching part, and the second guide part and the second guide matching part are matched when the first guide part 72 is in the separation position, so as to guide the movement of the connecting rod.

[0143] When the first guide part 72 and the first guide matching part 81 are separated, i.e. the first guide part 72 is in the separation position, the second guide part and the second guide matching part are matched, so as to guide the movement of the connecting rod, so that the connecting rod can move along a preset trajectory and avoid deviating from the preset trajectory.

[0144] The shape of the first guide groove 811 needs to be determined according to the movement trajectory of the connecting rod and the forms of the second guide part and the second guide matching part.

[0145] In a specific embodiment, the first guide groove 811 includes a straight line segment and / or a curved line segment, for example, as shown in Figure 17 The first guide groove 811 is in the form of a broken line, and it can be understood that the first guide groove 811 can also not be in the form of a broken line, for example, in the form of an arc. When moving from the closed position to the small ring embrace air supply position, the first guide column 721 is located in the first guide groove 811 and can slide relative to the first guide groove 811, and after the small ring embrace air supply position, the first guide column 721 is out of the first guide groove 811.

[0146] Optionally, when the first guide part 72 is in the guide position, i.e. the first guide part 72 is matched with the first guide matching part 81, the second guide part and the second guide matching part are matched.

[0147] In this way, when the first guide part 72 is in the guide position, the cooperation of the first guide part 72 and the first guide matching part 81 and the cooperation of the second guide part and the second guide matching part jointly guide the movement of the connecting rod, thereby improving the stability of the movement of the connecting rod, and some movement forms of the connecting rod cannot be realized by relying on the cooperation of a single guide part and a guide matching part, for example, the plane rotation of the connecting rod. At this time, the cooperation of the first guide part 72 and the first guide matching part 81 and the cooperation of the second guide part and the second guide matching part realize the cooperation of multiple guide parts and guide matching parts, can realize more diversified movement forms of the connecting rod, and make the selectivity of the movement form of the connecting rod greater.

[0148] In the entire opening process of the air deflector 2, as shown in Figures 10 to 30 The second guide part and the second guide matching part are always matched, or the second guide part and the second guide matching part will also switch between the matched state and the unmatched state.

[0149] Optionally, the second guide portion comprises a first sub-guide portion 74 and a second sub-guide portion 75, and the second guide cooperating portion comprises a first sub-guide cooperating portion for cooperating with the first sub-guide portion 74 and a second sub-guide cooperating portion for cooperating with the second sub-guide portion 75; wherein the first sub-guide portion 74 and the second sub-guide portion 75 are arranged on the same side of the connecting rod.

[0150] The guide 84 is fixedly arranged on the housing 1. For example, the guide 84 comprises a mechanism box, the mechanism box comprises a box body 84 and a box cover 85 which are buckled together, the connecting rod is arranged in the mechanism box between the box body 84 and the box cover 85, and the connecting rod moves between a retracted position in the mechanism box and an extended position out of the mechanism box. When the connecting rod extends out of the mechanism box, the connecting rod drives the air deflector 2 to move.

[0151] The first sub-guide portion 74 and the second sub-guide portion 75 are arranged on the same side of the connecting rod, the first sub-guide cooperating portion and the second sub-guide cooperating portion are arranged on the box body 84, the first sub-guide portion 74 cooperates with the first sub-guide cooperating portion, and the second sub-guide portion 75 cooperates with the second sub-guide cooperating portion, so that the movement of the connecting rod is stable.

[0152] In one specific embodiment, as shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4 The first sub-guide portion 74 comprises a first sub-guide groove 78, the first sub-guide cooperating portion comprises a first sub-guide column 82, the second sub-guide portion 75 comprises a second sub-guide column 751, the second sub-guide cooperating portion comprises a second sub-guide groove 83, the first sub-guide column 82 is in sliding connection with the first sub-guide groove 78, and the second sub-guide column 751 is in sliding connection with the second sub-guide groove 83.

[0153] In another specific embodiment, the first sub-guide portion 74 comprises a first sub-guide column 82, the first sub-guide cooperating portion comprises a first sub-guide groove 78, the second sub-guide portion 75 comprises a second sub-guide groove 83, the second sub-guide cooperating portion comprises a second sub-guide column 751, the first sub-guide column 82 is in sliding connection with the first sub-guide groove 78, and the second sub-guide column 751 is in sliding connection with the second sub-guide groove 83.

[0154] The sliding connection of the first sub-guide column 82 and the first sub-guide groove 78 means that when the first sub-guide column 82 and the first sub-guide groove 78 are matched, the first sub-guide column 82 is located in the first sub-guide groove 78 and can slide relative to the first sub-guide groove 78, thereby guiding the movement of the connecting rod; when the first sub-guide column 82 and the first sub-guide groove 78 are not matched, the first sub-guide column 82 is located outside the first sub-guide groove 78, and there is no guiding effect on the movement of the connecting rod; the sliding connection of the second sub-guide column 751 and the second sub-guide groove 83 means that when the second sub-guide column 751 and the second sub-guide groove 83 are matched, the second sub-guide column 751 is located in the second sub-guide groove 83 and can slide relative to the second sub-guide groove 83, thereby guiding the movement of the connecting rod; when the second sub-guide column 751 and the second sub-guide groove 83 are not matched, the second sub-guide column 751 is located outside the second sub-guide groove 83, and there is no guiding effect on the movement of the connecting rod.

[0155] When the first sub-guide part 74 includes the first sub-guide groove 78, the second sub-guide part 75 includes the second sub-guide column 751; when the first sub-guide part 74 includes the first sub-guide column 82, the second sub-guide part 75 includes the second sub-guide groove 83, so as to avoid that the first sub-guide part 74 and the second sub-guide part 75 are both in the form of grooves or columns, thereby more reasonably utilizing the space of the connecting rod, making the connecting rod structure compact, and avoiding that the size of the connecting rod or the box body 84 is too large.

[0156] The shapes of the first sub-guide groove 78 and the second sub-guide groove 83 need to be determined according to the movement trajectory of the connecting rod, the form of the first guide part 72 and the first guide matching part 81.

[0157] The first sub-guide groove 78 includes a straight line segment and / or a curve segment. The first guide groove 811 extends along the length direction of the connecting rod, and the first sub-guide groove 78 includes a first guide segment 781, a second guide segment 782, a third guide segment 783 and a fourth guide segment 784 arranged in sequence. The first guide segment 781 includes a straight line segment and / or a curve segment connected in sequence, as shown in Figure 4 and Figure 13 From the closed position to the small ring embrace air supply position, the first sub-guide column 82 is located in the first guide segment 781 and can slide relative to the first guide segment 781; the first sub-guide groove 78 further includes the second guide segment 782; from the small ring embrace air supply position to the large ring embrace air supply position, as shown in Figure 18 the first sub-guide column 82 is located in the second guide segment 782 and can slide relative to the second guide segment 782, and the second guide segment 782 is in a curve shape, for example, an arc shape; as shown in Figure 20 the first sub-guide groove 78 further includes the third guide segment 783, from the large ring embrace air supply position to the heating lower blowing position, the first sub-guide column 82 is located in the third guide segment 783 and can slide relative to the third guide segment 783, and the third guide segment 783 includes a curve segment and / or a straight line segment; as shown inFigure 23 As shown, the first sub-guide slot 78 further comprises a fourth guide segment 784, from the heating lower-blowing position to the maximum air supply position, the first sub-guide column 82 is located in the fourth guide segment 784 and can slide relative to the fourth guide segment 784, the fourth guide segment 784 comprises a curved segment and / or a straight segment, for example, in a curved shape.

[0158] The second sub-guide slot 83 comprises a straight segment and / or a curved segment.

[0167] Optionally, as shown, the guide plate 3 is provided with a first connecting part 31 and a second connecting part 32, and the indoor unit further comprises a first connecting rod 5, a driving component 53 and a second connecting rod 54. Figure 20

[0168] One end of the first connecting rod 5 is movably connected with the first connecting part 31; the other end of the first connecting rod 5 is drivingly connected with the driving component 53; one end of the second connecting rod 54 is movably connected with the shell 1, and the other end is fixedly connected with the second connecting part 32; wherein, the first connecting part 31 and the second connecting part 32 are sequentially arranged in the direction close to the air deflector 2.

[0169] ​The driving component 53 can be an electric motor, which is directly drivingly connected with the first connecting rod 5 or drivingly connected through a transmission member such as a gear 61. The driving component 53 drives the first connecting rod 5 to move, the first connecting rod 5 drives the guide plate 3 to move, and the movement of the guide plate 3 drives the second connecting rod 54 to move relative to the housing 1. The second connecting rod 54 can not only enhance the stability of the guide plate 3 but also cooperate with the first connecting rod 5 to achieve the target air guiding position of the guide plate 3.

[0170] In the direction from the guide plate 3 to the air deflector 2, the first connecting portion 31 and the second connecting portion 32 are sequentially arranged, that is, the distance between the first connecting portion 31 and the air deflector 2 is greater than the distance between the second connecting portion 32 and the air deflector 2, so that the guide plate 3 can move towards the air deflector 2 to cooperate with the air deflector 2 to achieve the target air guiding mode.

[0171] As shown in Figure 12 and Figure 19 , the guide plate 3 is flipped towards the air deflector 2 to open the second air outlet area 112, thereby achieving the air supply mode of the refrigeration updraft and the large ring air supply mode.

[0172] The driving component 53 is not drivingly connected with the second connecting rod 54, that is, the movement of the second connecting rod 54 is directly driven by the guide plate 3 rather than the driving component 53.

[0173] As shown in Figure 20 , the box body 84 is provided with a avoiding space 41, and the driving component 53, the first connecting rod 5 and the second connecting rod 54 are all arranged outside the box body 84 and located in the avoiding space 41.

[0174] The opening amplitude of the guide plate 3 is smaller than that of the air deflector 2, so the lengths of the first connecting rod 5 and the second connecting rod 54 are relatively small. In order to drive the guide plate 3 by the first connecting rod 5 and the second connecting rod 54, the avoiding space 41 is arranged on the side of the box body 84 facing the first air outlet area 111.

[0175] Optionally, as shown in Figure 22 , the distance between the first connecting portion 31 and the middle part of the guide plate 3 in the width direction is smaller than the distance between the second connecting portion 32 and the middle part of the guide plate 3 in the width direction.

[0176] In this way, the length of the trajectory of the movement of the first connecting rod 5 can be reduced, and the space occupied by the first connecting rod 5 can be reduced.

[0177] Optionally, as shown in Figure 20 and Figure 22As shown, the first connecting part 31 is arranged at the middle of the width direction of the guide plate 3, i.e. the distance between the first connecting part 31 and the middle of the width direction of the guide plate 3 is zero, and the second connecting part 32 is arranged at the part of the guide plate 3 between the first connecting part 31 and the deflector 2. In this way, the length of the track of the movement of the first connecting rod 5 can be further reduced, and the space occupied by the first connecting rod 5 can be reduced.

[0178] The first connecting part 31 comprises a mounting protrusion of the inner wall surface of the guide plate 3.

[0179] Optionally, as shown in FIG. 1, the first connecting rod 5 is arranged to be rotatable relative to the first connecting part 31. Figure 22 As shown, the second connecting rod 54 is provided with a gap 541 of the shell 1, the gap 541 is located on the side of the second connecting rod 54 facing the deflector 2, so that the second connecting rod 54 forms a shape bent towards the direction of the first connecting rod 5.

[0180] After the guide plate 3 is flipped towards the deflector 2, the shell 1 is partially located in the gap 541, so as to avoid the second connecting rod 54 interfering with the shell 1 after being extended with the guide plate 3. Specifically, the shell 1 comprises a framework, and the gap 541 is used to avoid the second connecting rod 54 interfering with the framework.

[0181] Optionally, the second connecting rod 54 is rotatably connected with the shell 1, so that under the driving of the first connecting rod 5, the guide plate 3 moves, the guide plate 3 drives the second connecting rod 54 to rotate around the shell 1, and the rotation of the guide plate 3 towards the deflector 2 is realized.

[0182] Optionally, the first connecting rod 5 is slidably connected with the first connecting part 31, so as to increase the freedom of movement of the guide plate 3, and realize the guide plate 3 having more air guiding positions. At this time, one of the first connecting rod 5 and the first connecting part 31 is provided with a sliding groove, the sliding groove extends in the direction from the first connecting part 31 to the second connecting part 32, and the other of the first connecting rod 5 and the first connecting part 31 is provided with a sliding shaft, the sliding shaft is arranged in the sliding groove and can slide relative to the sliding groove in the length direction of the sliding groove.

[0183] Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 1, the first connecting rod 5 comprises a first sub-rod 51 and a second sub-rod 52, one end of the first sub-rod 51 is drivingly connected with the driving component 53, the other end of the first sub-rod 51 is rotatably connected with one end of the second sub-rod 52, and the other end of the second sub-rod 52 is rotatably connected with the first connecting part 31. Figure 22 The driving component 53 drives the first sub-rod 51 to move, the first sub-rod 51 drives the second sub-rod 52 to move, and the second sub-rod 52 drives the guide plate 3 to move, so as to realize the opening and closing of the second air outlet area 112.

[0184] Optionally, as shown in FIG. 1, the length of the first connecting rod 5 is greater than the length of the second connecting rod 54.

[0185] Figure 22

[0186] ​​In the movement of the guide plate 3, the first connecting rod 5 provides power to drive the guide plate 3 to rotate around the rotating connection between the second connecting rod 54 and the shell 1. The second connecting rod 54 mainly provides a rotation point for the movement of the guide plate 3. Therefore, the maximum extension length of the first connecting rod 5 needs to be greater than the maximum extension length of the second connecting rod 54 during the opening of the guide plate 3.

[0187] The length of the first connecting rod 5 refers to the total length of the first connecting rod 5. In the case where the first connecting rod 5 includes the first sub-rod 51 and the second sub-rod 52, the length of the first connecting rod 5 refers to the sum of the lengths of the first sub-rod 51 and the second sub-rod 52.

[0188] Optionally, as shown in Figure 3 The inner wall surface of the air deflector 2 is provided with a avoiding groove 21. When the air deflector 2 and the guide plate 3 are closed to the first air outlet area 111 and the second air outlet area 112 respectively, that is, when the air deflector 2 and the guide plate 3 are in the closed position, the end of the guide plate 3 close to the air deflector 2 is inserted into the avoiding groove 21.

[0189] When the air deflector 2 and the guide plate 3 are in the closed position, the end of the guide plate 3 close to the air deflector 2 is inserted into the avoiding groove 21, so that the guide plate 3 and the air deflector 2 partially overlap, avoiding the gap between the air deflector 2 and the guide plate 3, and enhancing the appearance of the indoor unit.

[0190] In this way, when opening the air outlet, if the air deflector 2 needs to open the first air outlet area 111 and the guide plate 3 needs to open the second air outlet area 112, the air deflector 2 needs to act first, and after the air deflector 2 leaves the second air outlet area 112, the guide plate 3 opens. When closing the air outlet, the guide plate 3 closes the second air outlet area 112 first, and then the air deflector 2 closes the first air outlet area 111.
