[0042] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is merely illustrative and is in no way intended to limit the present utility model or its application or use. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0043] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, an embodiment of this utility model provides an air conditioner, including an air duct component 10, a sliding door 20, multiple air sweeping blades 30, and a limiting structure. The multiple air sweeping blades 30 are oscillatingly disposed at the air outlet of the air duct component 10, and the sliding door 20 can move back and forth to cover or avoid the air outlet. The limiting structure includes a limiting body 40 and a spacer 50 connected to each other. The limiting body 40 has multiple spaced limiting grooves 41. When both the air sweeping blades 30 and the sliding door 20 are open, each air sweeping blade 30 can be detachably inserted into a limiting groove 41, and the spacer 50 is detachably installed between the air duct component 10 and the sliding door 20.

[0044] In this embodiment, a detachable limiting structure is provided in the air conditioner. This limiting structure has multiple limiting grooves 41 spaced apart, into which each sweeping blade 30 is inserted to prevent collisions or friction between the blades, thus avoiding wear and potential damage during transportation. Furthermore, by providing spacers 50 on the limiting structure, a gap is formed between the duct component 10 and the sliding door 20, separating the two components and preventing friction and collisions between the sliding door 20 and the duct component 10 due to injection molding deformation or vibration during transportation, thus avoiding damage to the components. By fixing the sweeping blades 30 and ensuring the gap between the duct component 10 and the sliding door 20, the limiting structure effectively reduces the impact and damage during transportation, improving the safety of air conditioner transportation.

[0045] Since the limiting body 40 of the limiting structure and the sweeping blade 30 are detachably connected, the spacer 50 of the limiting structure is detachably installed between the air duct component 10 and the sliding door 20, so that the limiting structure can be installed when transportation is needed, and can be detached when it is not needed, which can be adjusted as needed, improve the flexibility of the air conditioner, and also make the assembly process more simple, can adapt to various different environments and use requirements, and improve the adaptability of the air conditioner.

[0046] Moreover, the limiting structure is installed when the sweeping blade 30 and the sliding door 20 are both opened, so that the distance between adjacent sweeping blades 30 is large, and friction does not occur between adjacent sweeping blades 30, the distance between the sliding door 20 and the sweeping blade 30 is large, and friction does not occur between the sliding door 20 and the sweeping blade 30.

[0047] As shown in Figure 4 The spacer 50 includes a connecting block 51 and a spacing block 52, the two ends of the connecting block 51 are connected with the limiting body 40 and the spacing block 52 respectively, the spacing block 52 is arranged in the limiting body 40 and forms an accommodating groove 53 therebetween, the accommodating groove 53 is used to accommodate a part of the structure of the sliding door 20, and the spacing block 52 separates the air duct component 10 and the sliding door 20.

[0048] In this embodiment, by arranging the spacing block 52 on the spacer 50, and forming the accommodating groove 53 between the spacing block 52 and the limiting body 40, a part of the sliding door 20 is located in the accommodating groove 53, so that a fixed spacing between the air duct component 10 and the sliding door 20 can be maintained, and friction and collision between the air duct component 10 and the sliding door 20 during transportation can be prevented, thereby protecting the sliding door 20 and the air duct component 10, and avoiding damage caused by friction and collision.

[0049] Specifically, the opening of the limiting groove 41 is opposite to the air outlet direction of the air outlet, and the opening of the accommodating groove 53 is the same as the air outlet direction of the air outlet; as shown in Figures 3 to 5 The size of the spacing block 52 along the moving direction of the sliding door 20 is M, and 3mm≤M≤8mm.

[0050] In the embodiment, the opening of the limiting groove 41 is opposite to the air outlet direction of the air outlet, so that the opening of the limiting groove 41 corresponds to the air sweeping blade 30 when the air sweeping blade 30 is opened, the air sweeping blade 30 can be better fixed in the limiting groove 41, and friction of the air sweeping blade 30 caused by poor fixing during transportation is prevented, and unnecessary displacement and abrasion of the air sweeping blade 30 are avoided. The opening of the accommodating groove 53 is the same as the air outlet direction of the air outlet, so that the opening of the accommodating groove 53 is opposite to the sliding door 20 when the sliding door 20 is opened to a predetermined position, and a gap is formed between the sliding door 20 and the air duct component 10, and unnecessary displacement and abrasion during transportation are prevented.

[0051] The size M of the spacing block 52 along the moving direction of the sliding door 20 is 3 mm to 8 mm, so that a sufficient gap is ensured between the sliding door 20 and the air duct component 10, and relative friction or collision is avoided. If the size of the spacing block 52 is too large, the spacing block 52 is difficult to be installed between the sliding door 20 and the air duct component 10, and if the size of the spacing block 52 is too small, the spacing effect is poor, and friction between the sliding door 20 and the air duct component 10 cannot be avoided. Through the opposite opening direction of the limiting groove 41 and the air outlet, the same opening direction of the accommodating groove 53 and the air outlet, and the specific size of the spacing block 52, it is ensured that the air conditioner does not generate friction between the air sweeping blades 30 and between the sliding door 20 and the air duct component 10 during transportation, and damage between the components is avoided.

[0052] As shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the sliding door 20 includes a cover plate 21 and a side plate 22 arranged on one side of the cover plate 21, and the side plate 22 and the cover plate 21 have an included angle, and the cover plate 21 is used to cover the air outlet. In the case of installing the limiting structure, the side plate 22 is clamped into the accommodating groove 53 between the spacing piece 50 and the limiting body 40, and the spacing block 52 of the spacing piece 50 is installed between the side plate 22, the cover plate 21 and the air duct component 10.

[0053] In the embodiment, the side plate 22 of the sliding door 20 is clamped into the accommodating groove 53 between the spacing piece 50 and the limiting body 40, so that the side plate 22 of the sliding door 20 is closely combined with the limiting structure, and it is ensured that the sliding door 20 does not abrade or displace due to vibration or improper operation during transportation, and it is also ensured that the air duct component 10 and the sliding door 20 do not abrade due to mutual contact.

[0054] The plurality of limiting grooves 41 are arranged in parallel. Since the plurality of air sweeping blades 30 are parallel when opened, the limiting grooves 41 are arranged in parallel, which can better match the plurality of air sweeping blades 30. Of course, according to the shape and specific arrangement of the air sweeping blade 30, the plurality of limiting grooves 41 can also be arranged in a non-parallel structure.

[0055] The number of the limiting grooves 41 is greater than or equal to the number of the sweeping blades 30. In this way, for air conditioners with different numbers of the sweeping blades 30, the limiting structure can be applied in the case that the spacing of the sweeping blades 30 is matched, improving the universality of the scheme.

[0056] As shown in Figure 4 The limiting body 40 includes a body structure 42 and a plurality of tongues 43 arranged on the body structure 42, and the gap between adjacent two tongues 43 forms the limiting groove 41, and the spacer 50 is connected to one of the tongues 43 at the edge.

[0057] In the embodiment, by arranging a plurality of tongues 43 on the body structure 42, and the gap between adjacent two tongues 43 forms the limiting groove 41, inserting the sweeping blade 30 into the limiting groove 41 can limit the movement of the sweeping blade 30, prevent the sweeping blade 30 from loosening and rubbing due to vibration during transportation, and avoid potential damage risk.

[0058] Specifically, the limiting structure is a one-piece structure. In the embodiment, the limiting structure is a one-piece structure, so that the limiting body 40 and the spacer 50 are integrated, compared with the structure connected respectively, the one-piece structure can reduce the connection points, reduce the risk of connection problems, improve the strength and stability of the whole limiting structure, and also can reduce the cost.

[0059] Further, the limiting structure is made of elastic material. In the embodiment, the limiting structure is made of elastic material, which can absorb and disperse part of the impact force, and can reduce the influence of vibration on the sweeping blade 30, the sliding door 20 and the air duct component 10 during transportation, and reduce the friction damage or displacement caused by vibration. Moreover, the elastic material can automatically adjust its shape according to the pressure or deformation, and can provide better limiting effect in different situations.

[0060] Among them, the material of the limiting structure is pearl wool or polypropylene plastic foaming material. In the embodiment, the material of the limiting structure is pearl wool or polypropylene plastic foaming material, which has good buffering performance and can effectively absorb impact force, reducing the influence of vibration on the sweeping blade 30, the sliding door 20 and the air duct component 10 during transportation. Moreover, pearl wool and polypropylene plastic foaming material both have relatively low density, which can protect while reducing the weight of the limiting structure.

[0061] As shown in Figure 1As shown, the air conditioner is a vertical air conditioner, and the plurality of air sweeping blades 30 are vertically arranged or horizontally arranged. The plurality of limiting structures are arranged along the length direction of the air sweeping blades 30. By arranging the plurality of limiting structures, the air sweeping blades 30 and the sliding door 20 are limited at different positions, which can achieve better limiting effect, prevent collision and friction during transportation, protect the air sweeping blades 30 and the sliding door 20, and ensure product quality.

[0062] As shown in the figure, Figure 6 As shown, the air conditioner further comprises a shell structure 60 and a driving assembly 70. The air duct component 10 and the air sweeping blades 30 are located in the shell structure 60. The sliding door 20 is located between the air duct component 10 and the inner wall of the shell structure 60. The shell structure 60 has a shell opening corresponding to the air outlet. The sliding door 20 covers the air outlet when the shell opening is closed. The driving assembly 70 is installed on the shell structure 60, and the driving assembly 70 drives the sliding door 20 to move back and forth.

[0063] In this embodiment, the sliding door 20 is located between the air duct component 10 and the inner wall of the shell structure 60. By controlling the opening and closing of the sliding door 20, the air outlet can be avoided when air is needed, and the air outlet and the air sweeping blades 30 can be protected when air is not needed, and dust can be prevented from entering.

[0064] Optionally, the sliding door 20 can control the air outlet amount and direction of the airflow. In different scenes, the sliding door 20 can be adjusted as needed to provide the required air volume and airflow direction, thereby improving the working efficiency of the air conditioner.

[0065] The driving assembly 70 comprises a gear 71 and an arc-shaped rack 72 which are engaged with each other. The arc-shaped rack 72 is connected with the sliding door 20. When the gear 71 rotates, the arc-shaped rack 72 is driven to move, thereby controlling the opening and closing of the sliding door 20. The user can avoid manually adjusting the sliding door 20, reduce the complexity and manual intervention of operation, and improve the convenience of operation.

[0066] In addition, in this embodiment, the sliding of the air sweeping blades 30 and the sliding door 20 can also be controlled by a remote controller. When the close key is pressed, the air sweeping blades 30 stop moving after swinging to a position perpendicular to the air outlet. When the air sweeping blades 30 swing, the driving assembly 70 drives the sliding door 20 to move from the open position to the closed position until it stops moving at the interval block position. In this way, the user does not need to manually place the air sweeping blades and the sliding door at the predetermined position, thereby improving the flexibility and efficiency of the air conditioner as a whole.
