[0037] Example 1
[0038] like Figure 1-8 As shown, an embodiment of this utility model provides an air conditioning air guide plate. The air conditioning air guide plate 100 includes a front plate 10, two decorative plates 20, and a sheet metal reinforcing member 30. The front plate 10 and the two decorative plates 20 are both plastic parts. By using the sheet metal reinforcing member 30 to assemble with the front plate 10 and the decorative plates 20, not only is the aesthetics improved, but the structural strength and installation convenience are also enhanced.
[0039] Specifically, the front surface of the front panel 10 is provided with multiple decorative strips 11, which are arranged sequentially along the width direction of the front panel 10. The multiple decorative strips 11 can increase the visual sense of layering, making the air conditioner look more refined and high-end. They not only serve a decorative purpose, but also hide the internal structure, making the overall appearance cleaner. At the same time, they can also help the front panel 10 to better control the airflow direction, avoid the airflow blowing directly on the human body, and improve comfort.
[0040] Specifically, the two decorative panels 20 are respectively disposed at both ends of the rear side of the front panel 10 and are detachably connected to the front panel 10. The sheet metal reinforcement 30 is disposed at the middle of the rear side of the front panel 10 and is detachably connected to the opposite side of the two decorative panels 20. By adopting a detachable connection between the front panel 10 and the decorative panel 20, and between the decorative panel 20 and the sheet metal reinforcement 30, it is convenient for users or maintenance personnel to disassemble and maintain the panel without replacing the entire air conditioning air guide plate 100, thus reducing maintenance costs.
[0041] In this embodiment of the utility model, by using sheet metal reinforcing parts 30 to assemble with the front plate 10 and decorative plate 20, not only is the aesthetics improved, but the structural strength and installation convenience are also enhanced. This effectively avoids the risk of deformation of the air conditioning air guide plate under long-term use or under large airflow pressure, thereby extending the service life of the air guide plate.
[0042] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown in this embodiment of the present invention, the front panel 10 is provided with a plurality of positive buckles 12 at both ends of its rear side, and the decorative panel 20 is provided with reverse buckles 21 at both ends of its rear side that cooperate with the positive buckles 12. The arrangement of the positive buckles 12 and the reverse buckles 21 allows the decorative panel 20 to be quickly installed on the front panel 10 without the need for tools or additional fasteners, thus greatly shortening the installation time and improving the installation efficiency.
[0043] Specifically, by engaging the reverse latch 21 into the forward latch 12 to create a limit, stable installation is achieved, preventing loosening or detachment during use. The installation process is simple and intuitive, and can be easily completed by ordinary users, reducing the need for professional installation.
[0044] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown in this embodiment of the utility model, the upper and lower ends of the front panel 10 are bent to the rear to form a flange 13, and the upper and lower ends of the decorative panel 20 are bent to the front to form an arc edge 22. The arc edge 22 can abut against the inner side of the flange 13. By abutting the arc edge 22 against the inner side of the flange 13 to form a limit, stable installation is achieved.
[0045] Specifically, when assembling the front panel 10 and the decorative panel 20, first press the arc edge 22 of the decorative panel 20 against the inside of the flange 13 of the front panel 10, and then press the front panel 10 towards the decorative panel 20 so that the positive buckle 12 slides along the inclined surface of the negative buckle 21 until the positive buckle 12 and the negative buckle 21 are engaged. This completes the assembly of the front panel 10 and the decorative panel 20. The assembled front panel 10 and the decorative panel 20 are firmly and reliably connected, and the front panel 10 and the decorative panel 20 are not easy to separate when subjected to force.
[0046] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown in this embodiment of the utility model, the reverse buckle 21 and the arc edge 22 form a "herringbone" structure, which makes the connection between the decorative panel 20 and the front panel 10 more stable and significantly improves assembly strength and assembly efficiency.
[0047] Specifically, such as Figure 2-3 and Figure 6As shown in this embodiment of the utility model, the rear ends of the front plate 10 are respectively integrally provided with a drive ear 40 for assembling a motor shaft and a mounting ear 50 for rotatably mounting on an air conditioner. The rear sides of the two decorative plates 20 are respectively provided with notches 60 corresponding to the drive ear 40 and the mounting ear 50. The drive ear 40 and the mounting ear 50 drive the decorative plate 20, the sheet metal reinforcement 30 and the front plate 10 to rotate simultaneously. The drive ear 40 and the mounting ear 50 are connected to the front plate 10 and directly drive the front plate 10 to rotate, so that the decorative plate 20 and the sheet metal reinforcement 30 follow the front plate 10 to rotate. This can effectively control the rotation angle of the front plate 10 and avoid deviation when the air conditioner guide plate 100 is closed, which would cause the rotation angle to be incomplete.
[0048] The drive ear 40 and mounting ear 50 are integrally formed with the front panel 10, ensuring the stability and durability of the overall structure and reducing potential weaknesses caused by welding or screw fixing. At the same time, the integral design reduces the number of additional parts, simplifies the production and assembly process, and reduces manufacturing costs. The notch 60 provides clearance for the drive ear 40 and mounting ear 50, allowing the decorative panel 20 to be easily disassembled and installed through the notch 60, facilitating cleaning, inspection, and replacement of parts without removing the entire air conditioning air guide plate 100, thereby reducing maintenance difficulty and costs.
[0049] Based on the above solutions, such as Figure 3 As shown in this embodiment of the invention, the drive ear 40 and the mounting ear 50 are provided with multiple reinforcing ribs 70. During long-term use, the rotation of the motor shaft and the impact of airflow may cause fatigue damage to the drive ear 40 and the mounting ear 50. Therefore, the reinforcing ribs 70 can effectively reduce this risk, ensure the reliability of long-term use, and enhance the overall performance of the material, making it more resistant to the effects of temperature changes, humidity and other environmental factors, maintaining the stability and function of the structure. Furthermore, the ribs 70 are distributed on the drive ear 40 and the mounting ear 50, which can significantly enhance the bending resistance of these components and reduce the risk of deformation when subjected to large torque or external force.
[0050] Among them, the reinforcing rib 70 can be integrally formed with the drive ear 40 and the mounting ear 50 through processes such as stamping or casting, which reduces additional processing steps and simplifies the production process.
[0051] Specifically, such as Figure 3 and Figure 6As shown in this embodiment of the utility model, the rear side of the decorative panel 20 on which the drive ear 40 is installed is recessed to the front side with a motor clearance groove 23, and the motor clearance groove 23 and the notch 60 are integrally formed. The motor clearance groove 23 provides clearance space for the motor, so that the motor can be installed closer to the decorative panel 20, thereby reducing the overall thickness and making the structure of the air conditioning guide plate 100 more compact.
[0052] The specific shape and structure of the motor clearance slot 23 can be designed to vary depending on the shape and structure of different motors. No restrictions are imposed in the description of this embodiment, as long as the motor can be accommodated.
[0053] Specifically, such as Figure 5 As shown in this embodiment of the utility model, a pair of T-shaped clips 31 are provided on the upper front side of the sheet metal reinforcement 30, and a plurality of hooks 14 corresponding to the T-shaped clips 31 are provided on the upper rear side of the front plate 10; a Z-shaped plate 32 is provided on the lower front side of the sheet metal reinforcement 30, and an angled groove 15 that engages with the Z-shaped plate 32 is provided on the lower rear side of the front plate 10. By abutting and engaging with the inner and outer sides of the T-shaped clips 31 through the T-shaped hooks 14 and engaging with the angled groove 15 through the Z-shaped plate 32, the sheet metal reinforcement 30 can be well secured and installed on the back of the front plate 10, which not only enhances the structural strength and stability of the air conditioning guide plate 100, but also improves the ease of assembly.
[0054] The number of hooks 14 can be multiple, and the multiple hooks 14 are arranged at intervals along the length of the front plate 10.
[0055] Specifically, when assembling the front panel 10 and the sheet metal reinforcement 30, first press one end of the sheet metal reinforcement 30 against the inside of the flange 13 of the front panel 10 and press the Z-shaped clip 32 against the corner slot 15. Then press the front panel 10 towards the sheet metal reinforcement 30, so that the T-shaped clip 31 slides along the inclined surface of the hook 14 until the T-shaped clip 31 and the hook 14 are engaged. This completes the assembly of the front panel 10 and the sheet metal reinforcement 30. The assembled front panel 10 and the decorative panel 20 are firmly and reliably connected. When subjected to force, the front panel 10 and the decorative panel 20 are not easy to separate.
[0056] Specifically, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6-7As shown in this embodiment of the utility model, multiple top blocks 24 are integrally extended from opposite sides of the two decorative panels 20. The multiple top blocks 24 extend from both sides of the driving ear 40 and the mounting ear 50 and are embedded into the lower end of the sheet metal reinforcement 30. Multiple ribs 25 are provided at the upper end of the multiple top blocks 24. After assembly, the multiple ribs 25 will push upward to apply a force to both ends of the sheet metal reinforcement 30, while the middle of the sheet metal reinforcement 30 will be subjected to a reaction force, bending the decorative panel 20 and the edge of the entire front panel 10 inward, so as to be closer to the air outlet and eliminate gaps. In this way, there will be no gaps at the air outlet after the air conditioner is turned off, thus affecting the aesthetics.

[0059] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
