The terminology used in the specification of the present application is only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and is not intended to limit the present application.

[0035] Referring to Figures 2-4 The present application provides a double air deflector structure, which comprises an air deflector assembly 1, the air deflector assembly 1 comprises a first air deflector 11 and a second air deflector 12 extending in the same direction along a rotation axis, the first air deflector 11 and the second air deflector 12 are arranged adjacently, and the corresponding end faces of the first air deflector 11 and the second air deflector 12 are attached in the initial state.

[0036] The rotation axes of the first air deflector 11 and the second air deflector 12 can be the same or parallel, and the present application is described by taking the coaxial rotation of the first air deflector 11 and the second air deflector 12 as an example. The rotation of the first air deflector 11 and the second air deflector 12 is independently driven by two motors 5 respectively, so that the working states such as the rotation of the first air deflector 11 while the second air deflector 12 is stationary, the rotation of the second air deflector 12 while the first air deflector 11 is stationary, or the simultaneous rotation of the first air deflector 11 and the second air deflector 12 can be realized.

[0037] Taking the vertical arrangement of the first air deflector 11 and the second air deflector 12 as an example, the first air deflector 11 is arranged horizontally, and the second air deflector 12 is arranged vertically, and the bottom end face of the second air deflector 12 is attached to the top end face of the first air deflector 11, which is the initial state of the air deflector assembly 1. During the rotation of the first air deflector 11 and / or the second air deflector 12, the structure is easily deformed due to its low strength, resulting in a gap between the first air deflector 11 and the second air deflector 12. When the air deflector assembly 1 is applied to an air conditioner, the gap will frequently appear air leakage, which will cause the air outlet direction of the air conditioner to deviate from the predetermined mode, and cannot meet the user's use demand.

[0038] Therefore, the double air deflector plate structure further comprises a hanging assembly 2, the hanging assembly 2 comprises a first hanging rod 21 and a second hanging rod 22 which are rotationally connected, the first hanging rod 21 is fixedly connected with the first air deflector plate 11, the second hanging rod 22 is fixedly connected with the second air deflector plate 12, and the hanging assembly 2 is provided with a plurality of along the rotation axis direction.

[0039] The first air deflector plate 11 is fixedly installed with the first hanging rod 21, the second air deflector plate 12 is fixedly installed with the second hanging rod 22, and the first hanging rod 21 is rotationally connected with the second hanging rod 22, so that the first air deflector plate 11 and the second air deflector plate 12 can be mutually restrained by structural mechanics in the process of independent rotation or synchronous rotation through the hanging assembly 2, the structural strength of the first air deflector plate 11 and the second air deflector plate 12 is improved, and the deformation problem caused by long-time rotation is avoided, so that the reliability of the positional relationship between the first air deflector plate 11 and the second air deflector plate 12 is ensured, air leakage caused by the gap is avoided when the air conditioner is applied, the air outlet direction of the air conditioner is consistent with the predetermined mode, the normal operation of the air conditioner in various different angle and different direction air supply modes is ensured, and the use requirement of the user is further met.

[0040] The first hanging rod 21 and the first air deflector plate 11 can be an integral structure, and the second hanging rod 22 and the second air deflector plate 12 can be an integral structure, so that the connection stability of the first air deflector plate 11 and the first hanging rod 21 is stronger, and the connection stability of the second air deflector plate 12 and the second hanging rod 22 is stronger, so that the hanging assembly 2 is beneficial to further improve the restraint force and the structural strength between the first air deflector plate 11 and the second air deflector plate 12, and further avoid the generation of deformation.

[0041] The plurality of hanging assemblies 2 are arranged at intervals along the rotation axis direction, and preferably have equal intervals. The interval arrangement of the plurality of hanging assemblies 2 can avoid mutual interference in the rotation process, so as to ensure the smoothness and accuracy of rotation, and improve the service life of the hanging assembly 2.

[0042] The plurality of hanging assemblies 2 are arranged at equal intervals, so that the uniformity of the hanging stress of each part of the first air deflector plate 11 and the second air deflector plate 12 can be realized, and the structural strength can be uniformly improved to avoid local deformation.

[0043] For the rotation connection structure of the first hanging rod 21 and the second hanging rod 22, referring to Figure 4 and Figure 5 , the first hanging rod 21 comprises a connecting piece 211 and a connecting shaft 212, the connecting piece 211 is fixedly connected with the first air deflector plate 11, the connecting shaft 212 is fixedly connected with the connecting piece 211 and arranged along the rotation axis direction, and the second hanging rod 22 is rotationally connected with the connecting shaft 212. In this way, the second hanging rod 22 and the first hanging rod 21 are rotationally connected through the connecting shaft 212.

[0044] The connecting piece 211, the connecting shaft 212 and the first air deflector 11 can be an integral structure, so that the stability of the connection between the first boom 21 and the first air deflector 11 is improved. The connecting piece 211 can be fixed at one end of the connecting shaft 212 in the axial direction, or can be fixedly sleeved on the connecting shaft 212, so that the connecting shaft 212 axially penetrates the connecting piece 211. The utility model is described by taking the example of the connecting shaft 212 axially penetrating the connecting piece 211.

[0045] The second boom 22 is rotatably sleeved on the connecting shaft 212, and the second boom 22 is arranged in a spaced manner with the connecting piece 211. The second boom 22 is sleeved on the connecting shaft 212, so that the second boom 22 can rotate relative to the connecting shaft 212 and will not fall off from the connecting shaft 212, thereby ensuring that the first air deflector 11 and the second air deflector 12 are effectively connected through the hanging assembly 2.

[0046] The second boom 22 is arranged in a spaced manner with the connecting piece 211, so that friction between the second boom 22 and the connecting piece 211 can be avoided when the second boom 22 rotates relative to the connecting shaft 212, thereby avoiding mutual interference in the rotation process, ensuring smoothness and accuracy of rotation, and improving the service life of the hanging assembly 2.

[0047] When the double-air-deflector structure of the utility model is applied to an air conditioner, referring to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 6 , the air deflector assembly 1 is installed at the air outlet of the middle frame 3. The middle frame 3 is provided with a first air outlet 31 corresponding to the first air deflector 11. The first air deflector 11 is rotatably installed at the first air outlet 31. The middle frame 3 is provided with a second air outlet 32 corresponding to the second air deflector 12. The second air deflector 12 is rotatably installed at the second air outlet 32.

[0048] The first air deflector 11 can be rotated to close or open the first air outlet 31. The second air deflector 12 can be rotated to close or open the second air outlet 32, so that the independent rotation or cooperative rotation of the first air deflector 11 and the second air deflector 12 can realize air outlet in different directions and at different angles in the middle frame 3.

[0049] Referring to Figure 2 and Figures 4-5, the third hanging rod 23 is rotationally connected with the first hanging rod 21 and the second hanging rod 22. In this way, the first guide vane 11 is fixedly installed with the first hanging rod 21, the second guide vane 12 is fixedly installed with the second hanging rod 22, and the middle frame 3 is fixedly installed with the third hanging rod 23, and the first hanging rod 21 is rotationally connected with the second hanging rod 22 and the third hanging rod 23, so that the first guide vane 11 and the second guide vane 12 can be mutually restrained by structural mechanics and the middle frame 3 in the process of independent rotation or synchronous rotation through the hanging assembly 2, thereby improving the structural strength of the first guide vane 11 and the second guide vane 12, avoiding deformation caused by long-time rotation, ensuring the reliability of the positional relationship between the first guide vane 11 and the second guide vane 12, avoiding the problem of air leakage caused by gaps in air conditioners, making the air outlet direction of the air conditioner consistent with the predetermined mode, ensuring the normal operation of the air conditioner in various different angle and direction air supply modes, and thereby meeting the use requirements of users.

[0050] The third hanging rod 23 is sleeved on the connecting shaft 212 and rotationally connected with the connecting shaft 212, and the third hanging rod 23 is spaced apart from the connecting piece 211 and the second hanging rod 22. It is worth noting that the third hanging rod 23 is sleeved on the connecting shaft 212, which not only ensures that the connecting shaft 212 can rotate relative to the third hanging rod 23, but also avoids the third hanging rod 23 from falling off the connecting shaft 212, thereby realizing effective connection of the first guide vane 11, the second guide vane 12 and the middle frame 3 through the hanging assembly 2.

[0051] The third hanging rod 23 is spaced apart from the connecting piece 211 and the second hanging rod 22, so that friction can be avoided when the second hanging rod 22 and the first hanging rod 21 rotate relative to the third hanging rod 23, thereby avoiding mutual interference during rotation, ensuring smoothness and accuracy of rotation, and improving the service life of the hanging assembly 2.

[0052] The third hanging rod 23 and the second hanging rod 22 are located on opposite sides of the connecting piece 211, and the distance between the third hanging rod 23 and the connecting piece 211 is equal to the distance between the second hanging rod 22 and the connecting piece 211. The structure of equal spacing can improve the coordination and stress uniformity of relative rotation of the hanging assembly 2, and avoid local deformation.

[0053] In addition, the middle frame 3 is provided with an air outlet portion, the air outlet portion includes an air outlet surface 33, a first air outlet 31 and a second air outlet 32, the second air outlet 32 is arranged on the air outlet surface 33, the air outlet surface 33 is provided with a panel 4, and in the initial state, the panel 4 coincides with the projection part of the second guide vane 12 on the air outlet surface 33, the panel 4 can move away from the air outlet surface 33 to open the second air outlet 32, and is spaced apart from the air outlet surface 33.

[0054] The air outlet part is located at the front part of the middle frame 3, the first air outlet 31 and the second air outlet 32 are located at the lower part of the air outlet part and are vertically arranged. The air outlet surface 33 is located at the front end surface of the middle frame 3, the second air outlet 32 is located at the lower part of the air outlet surface 33, and the first air outlet 31 is located below the air outlet surface 33 and is vertically arranged. The panel 4 is located at the front side of the air outlet surface 33 and can be driven to move forward and upward relative to the air outlet surface 33 and to reset.

[0055] Thus, the double air baffle structure is applied to the air conditioner, and various air supply modes such as the four-side air outlet mode, the inclined air outlet mode and the downward air outlet mode of the air conditioner can be realized. Specifically, the following is achieved:

[0056] Referring to Figure 6 , the first air baffle 11 is horizontally arranged to close the first air outlet 31, the second air baffle 12 is vertically arranged to close the second air outlet 32, and the panel 4 is located at the front side of the air outlet surface 33 and overlaps the second air baffle 12 in the orthographic projection part of the air outlet surface 33 to avoid air leakage. At this time, the air conditioner is in a closed state.

[0057] Referring to Figure 7 , compared with Figure 6 , the position of the first air baffle 11 is unchanged, the second air baffle 12 is rotated clockwise by 90° to a horizontal state, and the panel 4 is driven to move forward and upward so that there is a gap between the circumferential side of the panel 4 and the middle frame 3, and the second air outlet 32 is opened. At this time, the second air baffle 12 divides the second air outlet 32 into two parts to make the horizontal air outlet flow divided, and part of the air flows upward, leftward and rightward along the gap between the panel 4 and the air outlet surface 33 to realize four-side air outlet. At this time, the air conditioner is in a four-side air outlet state, and the air outlet is more uniform, which is conducive to accelerating the uniformity change of the indoor temperature.

[0058] Referring to Figure 8 , compared with Figure 6 , the panel 4 remains unchanged, the second air baffle 12 is rotated clockwise by less than 90°, and the first air baffle 11 is rotated counterclockwise by an angle equal to the rotation angle of the second air baffle 12, so that the first air baffle 11 and the second air baffle 12 are parallel and inclined downward to realize the divided inclined air outlet. At this time, the air conditioner is in an inclined air outlet state, and the air outlet passes through the double air flow of the first air baffle 11 and the second air baffle 12, which is conducive to improving the diffusion of the air outlet and thus accelerating the temperature change.

[0059] Referring to Figure 9 , compared with Figure 6, the panel 4 remains stationary, the first air deflector 11 rotates 90 degrees clockwise, and the second air deflector 12 rotates 180 degrees clockwise, so that the first air deflector 11 and the second air deflector 12 are spaced apart and parallel and vertical downward, thereby realizing the downward air outlet in the split flow.
