Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air conditioning equipment technology, and in particular to an air guide component and an air conditioner. Background Technology

[0002] In related technologies, the air guide plate is rotatably mounted on the air conditioner casing via a rotating shaft. However, after assembly, the limiting effect on the air guide plate in the direction of its rotation axis is poor. During the reciprocating rotation of the air guide plate, it will move along the direction of its rotation axis, which is not conducive to the operation of the air conditioner. Utility Model Content

[0003] The main purpose of this invention is to provide an air guide assembly and an air conditioner, which aims to improve the limiting effect of the air guide plate in the direction of the rotation axis.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the air guide assembly proposed in this utility model includes:

[0005] The air guide plate includes a plate body, a connecting lug at one end of the plate body, and a first elastic arm, wherein a limiting groove is formed between the first elastic arm and the connecting lug; and

[0006] The limiting component includes a rotating shaft and a second elastic arm connected to each other. The rotating shaft passes through the connecting lug and is fixed relative to the connecting lug in the circumferential direction. The second elastic arm includes a limiting protrusion and a suspension portion. The limiting protrusion is engaged with the limiting groove, and the suspension portion and the first elastic arm are spaced apart and opposite to each other.

[0007] In one embodiment, the edge of the limiting member corresponding to the second elastic arm is flush with the plate body.

[0008] In one embodiment, the second elastic arm has a first connecting protrusion protruding toward the plate on the side away from the connecting lug, and the air guide plate has a corresponding second connecting protrusion protruding on the side where the connecting lug is located. The first connecting protrusion and the second connecting protrusion are staggered in the width direction of the air guide plate and connected in sequence.

[0009] In one embodiment, the air guide plate is further provided with a third connecting protrusion, which protrudes toward the connecting lug and extends at least to the position corresponding to the inner sidewall of the first connecting protrusion.

[0010] In one embodiment, multiple second connecting protrusions are distributed at intervals along the width direction of the air guide plate, and a first connecting protrusion is provided between every two adjacent second connecting protrusions.

[0011] In one embodiment, the second elastic arm is bent toward the plate on the side away from the connecting lug to form a bent portion, and the first connecting protrusion protrudes from the bent portion.

[0012] In one embodiment, the suspension portion includes a cantilever portion and a suspension plate portion, wherein the cantilever portion is connected between the suspension plate portion and the limiting protrusion.

[0013] In one embodiment, the suspension portion further includes two side frame portions distributed along the width direction of the air guide plate, the cantilever portion is disposed between the two side frame portions and spaced apart from both side frame portions, the suspension plate portion is connected to the side frame portion, and the side of the suspension plate portion away from the first elastic arm is flush with the side frame portion.

[0014] In one embodiment, the first elastic arm and the connecting lug are integrally formed, and an insertion groove is formed on the end side of the plate. The side of the first elastic arm away from the connecting lug is inserted into the insertion groove.

[0015] This utility model also proposes an air conditioner, including the aforementioned air guide assembly.

[0016] In this utility model's technical solution, during installation of the air guide assembly, excessive installation allowance is not required between the two ends of the air guide plate and the housing. After aligning the installation positions on the air guide plate and the housing, the limiting member is installed on the air guide plate. The limiting member, through cooperation with the connecting lugs and the first elastic arm on the air guide plate, can be relatively fixed with the air guide plate, and the rotating shaft of the limiting member can be inserted into the corresponding position on the housing, realizing the rotatable installation of the air guide plate and the housing. Furthermore, in the direction of the rotation axis of the air guide plate, the limiting member can effectively limit the air guide plate, preventing it from moving in that direction, thereby ensuring the working performance of the air conditioner. By utilizing the deformable characteristics of the first and second elastic arms, the assembly convenience of the limiting member and the air guide component, as well as their interlocking stability, can be improved. Moreover, the suspension portion of the second elastic arm and the first elastic arm have a fitting gap, which further enhances the interlocking stability of the limiting protrusion and the limiting groove, reducing the possibility of them loosening.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0031] It should be noted that if the embodiments of this utility model involve directional indicators (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.), the directional indicators are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of the components in a specific posture. If the specific posture changes, the directional indicators will also change accordingly.

[0032] Furthermore, if the embodiments of this utility model involve descriptions such as "first" or "second," these descriptions are for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, a feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of those features. Additionally, the use of "and / or" or "and / or" throughout the text includes three parallel solutions. For example, "A and / or B" includes solution A, solution B, or a solution where both A and B are satisfied simultaneously. Furthermore, the technical solutions of the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but this must be based on the ability of those skilled in the art to implement them. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or impossible to implement, it should be considered that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.

[0033] In related technologies, the air guide plate is rotatably mounted on the air conditioner casing via a rotating shaft. The casing has corresponding holes, and the rotating shaft protrudes from the end of the air guide plate. After the air guide plate is appropriately deformed, the rotating shaft is inserted into the hole. Therefore, sufficient installation allowance needs to be left. This results in poor limiting effect on the air guide plate in the direction of its rotation axis after assembly. During the reciprocating rotation of the air guide plate, it will move along its rotation axis, which not only brings noise but also makes the gap between the two ends of the air guide plate and the casing unequal, which is not conducive to the operation of the air conditioner.

[0034] Based on this, the present invention proposes an air guide component.

[0035] Please see Figures 1 to 4 In one embodiment of this utility model, the air guide assembly includes:

[0036] Air guide plate 100, the air guide plate 100 includes plate body 110 and connecting lug 120 and first elastic arm 130 disposed at the end of plate body 110, a limiting groove 140 is formed between the first elastic arm 130 and the connecting lug 120; and

[0037] The limiting member 200 includes a rotating shaft 210 and a second elastic arm 300 connected to each other. The rotating shaft 210 passes through the connecting lug 120 and is fixed relative to the connecting lug 120 in the circumferential direction. The second elastic arm 300 includes a limiting protrusion 310 and a suspension portion 320. The limiting protrusion 310 is engaged with the limiting groove 140. The suspension portion 320 and the first elastic arm 130 are spaced apart and opposite to each other.

[0038] Without loss of generality, the rotating shaft 210 and the second elastic arm 300 are connected by a connecting arm 121. The rotating shaft 210 and the second elastic arm 300 protrude oppositely at both ends of the connecting arm 121. The connecting lug 120 has a connecting mounting hole and a slot. The rotating shaft 210 passes through the mounting hole, and the connecting arm 121 is engaged in the slot, so that the rotating shaft 210 can be fixed relative to the connecting lug 120 in the circumferential direction. The limiting protrusion 310 engages with the limiting groove 140. The two sides of the limiting protrusion 310 distributed along the length direction of the plate 110 will respectively abut against the ends of the connecting lug 120 and the first elastic arm 130, so that the rotating shaft 210 can be fixed relative to the plate 110 in the length direction of the plate 110. Thus, the rotating shaft 210 can be fixed to the air guide plate 100. It can be understood that the length direction of the plate 110 is also the direction of the axis of the rotating shaft 210 of the air guide plate 100. Of course, the rotating shaft 210 can also be fixed in the circumferential direction by engaging with the mounting hole. For example, the outlines of the two can be set to corresponding polygonal or elliptical shapes.

[0039] In this utility model, the air guide plate 100 and the limiting member 200 are two independent components. The air guide plate 100 can be aligned first, and then the air guide plate 100 can be installed on the housing through the limiting member 200. The rotating shaft 210 is a structure located on the limiting member 200. The air guide plate 100 will not interfere with the housing in the length direction. After the limiting member 200 and the air guide plate 100 are engaged, the rotating shaft 210 will protrude from the connecting lug 120, making the disassembly and assembly of the air guide assembly very convenient.

[0040] Therefore, when installing the air guide assembly, there is no need to leave too much installation allowance between the two ends of the air guide plate 100 and the housing. After the installation positions on the air guide plate 100 and the housing are aligned, the limiting member 200 is installed on the air guide plate 100. The limiting member 200 can be relatively fixed with the air guide plate 100 by cooperating with the connecting lug 120 and the first elastic arm 130 on the air guide plate 100. The rotating shaft 210 of the limiting member 200 can be inserted into the corresponding position on the housing, so as to realize the rotatable installation of the air guide plate 100 and the housing. In the direction of the rotation axis of the air guide plate 100, the limiting member 200 can effectively limit the air guide plate 100, prevent the air guide plate 100 from moving in this direction, so as to ensure the working performance of the air conditioner. By utilizing the deformable characteristics of the first elastic arm 130 and the second elastic arm 300, the assembly convenience of the limiting member 200 and the air guide member and the engagement stability of the two can be improved. Furthermore, the suspension part 320 of the second elastic arm 300 and the first elastic arm 130 have a fitting gap, which can further improve the engagement stability of the limiting protrusion 310 and the limiting groove 140 and reduce the possibility of them becoming loose.

[0041] In one embodiment, the edge of the limiting member 200 corresponding to the second elastic arm 300 is flush with the plate 110. Thus, the gap between the first elastic arm 130 and the second elastic arm 300 can be concealed by the structure of the edge of the limiting member 200, which helps improve the aesthetic appearance of the air guide assembly, thereby ensuring a better user experience when the air guide plate 100 is open. Furthermore, the limiting member 200 does not have any protruding ribs spaced opposite to the plate 110, preventing these ribs from obstructing the airflow from the air conditioner and effectively increasing the air volume delivered by the air conditioner.

[0042] In one implementation, please refer to Figure 2 The second elastic arm 300 has a first connecting protrusion 331 protruding towards the plate 110 on the side away from the connecting lug 120. The air guide plate 100 has a corresponding second connecting protrusion 150. The second connecting protrusion 150 and the connecting lug 120 protrude on the same side of the air guide plate 100. The first connecting protrusion 331 and the second connecting protrusion 150 are staggered in the width direction of the air guide plate 100 and connected in sequence. In this way, the seam between the limiting member 200 and the air guide plate 100 is less obvious, avoiding the formation of obvious gaps between them. This helps to improve the appearance consistency between the limiting member 200 and the air guide plate 100, thereby helping to ensure the user's visual experience when the air guide plate 100 is open. Furthermore, the first connecting protrusion 331 and the second connecting protrusion 150 are flush on the side away from the connecting lug 120. The sequentially connected first connecting protrusion 331 and second connecting protrusion 150 visually constitute a flat wall, which helps to improve the appearance consistency between the limiting member 200 and the air guide plate 100. Of course, in other embodiments, the second elastic arm 300 may also be provided with a bent flange, which abuts against the surface of the plate 110.

[0043] In one embodiment, please refer to the following: Figure 2 and Figure 4 The air guide plate 100 is further provided with a third connecting protrusion 160, which protrudes toward the connecting lug 120 and extends at least to the position corresponding to the inner sidewall of the first connecting protrusion 331. This further reduces the visual appearance of the seam between the limiting member 200 and the air guide plate 100, thus improving the aesthetic consistency between the limiting member 200 and the air guide plate 100.

[0044] In one embodiment, multiple second connecting protrusions 150 are spaced apart along the width direction of the air guide plate 100, and a first connecting protrusion 331 is correspondingly provided between every two adjacent second connecting protrusions 150. It can be understood that the interval between every two adjacent second connecting protrusions 150 forms a slot into which a first connecting protrusion 331 can be inserted, allowing the first connecting protrusion 331 and the second connecting protrusion 150 to engage, thereby enhancing their limiting effect on the second elastic arm 300 in the width direction of the plate body 110. Of course, in other embodiments, only one second connecting protrusion 150 may be provided, and one or more first connecting protrusions 331 may be provided.

[0045] In one embodiment, the second elastic arm 300 is bent towards the plate 110 on the side away from the connecting lug 120 to form a bent portion 330, and the first connecting protrusion 331 protrudes from the bent portion 330. Thus, the bent portion 330 supports the second elastic arm 300, ensuring a certain gap between the second elastic arm 300 and the first elastic arm 130. Alternatively, in other embodiments, a corresponding rib may be provided on the air guide for the side of the second elastic arm 300 to abut against.

[0046] In one embodiment, the suspension portion 320 includes a cantilever portion 321 and a suspension plate portion 322, with the cantilever portion 321 connected between the suspension plate portion 322 and the limiting protrusion 310. The limiting protrusion 310 is connected to one end of the cantilever portion 321, enabling the second connecting arm 121 to have sufficient deformation capacity, facilitating the assembly and disassembly of the limiting member 200 and the air guide member. The suspension plate portion 322 is connected to the other end of the cantilever portion 321, thereby improving the structural strength of the second connecting arm 121 and enabling it to abut against the corresponding structure of the air guide member through the provision of bent flange structures around the perimeter of the suspension plate portion 322. Of course, in other embodiments, the suspension portion 320 can be other structural forms, such as a plate-like structure with sufficient deformation capacity.

[0047] In one embodiment, the suspension portion 320 further includes two side frame portions 340 distributed along the width direction of the air guide plate 100. The cantilever portion 321 is disposed between the two side frame portions 340 and spaced apart from both side frame portions 340. The suspension plate portion 322 is connected to the side frame portion 340, and its side away from the first elastic arm 130 is flush with the side frame portion 340. The spaced arrangement of the cantilever portion 321 and the side frame portion 340 helps to provide sufficient deformation space for the cantilever portion 321 to facilitate the engagement of the limiting protrusion 310 and the limiting groove 140. The suspension plate portion 322 and the side frame portion 340 are smoothly connected without a groove structure, resulting in a high degree of flatness of the suspension portion 320 at the position corresponding to the suspension plate portion 322, which helps to improve the appearance of the air guide assembly.

[0048] In one implementation, please refer to Figure 3 The first elastic arm 130 and the connecting lug 120 are integrally formed. An insertion groove 111 is formed on the end side of the plate 110. The side of the first elastic arm 130 away from the connecting lug 120 is inserted into the insertion groove 111. It can be understood that the groove 111 is opened along the length of the plate 110, allowing the first elastic arm 130 to be inserted, thus achieving stable installation of the first elastic component and the connecting lug 120 on the plate 110. The integral forming of the first elastic arm 130 and the connecting lug 120 effectively divides the air guide component into two separately formed parts, meaning the plate 110 can be formed independently. This avoids the overly complex structure of the integrally formed air guide plate 100, reducing the difficulty of module development and ensuring the yield rate of the finished air guide plate 100. Furthermore, the plate body 110 forms two spaced-apart plate portions at the corresponding insertion slots 111. The plate portions facing away from the connecting lugs 120 continue to extend outward to support the periphery structure of the first elastic arm 130 and the connecting lugs 120. The first elastic arm 130 will be spaced apart from the plate portions to provide sufficient deformation space for the first elastic arm 130.

[0049] This utility model also proposes an air conditioner, which includes an air guide assembly. The specific structure of the air guide assembly is as described in the above embodiments. Since this air conditioner adopts all the technical solutions of all the above embodiments, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought about by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be described in detail here.

[0050] The above description is merely an exemplary embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. Any equivalent structural transformations made based on the technical concept of the present utility model and the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
