[0043] Background Introduction

[0044] Existing air supply components either employ a crank-connecting rod mechanism, where a motor drives a connecting rod, which in turn drives multiple air guide vanes to operate simultaneously, or a motor drives one of the air guide vanes to operate, and a connecting rod connected in series with other air guide vanes on that air guide vane drives the remaining air guide vanes to rotate.

[0045] However, both of the above solutions use more and more complex parts, have poor stability, and are prone to vibration and abnormal noise.

[0046] Based on this, such as Figures 1-5 As shown, a first aspect of this application provides an air supply assembly, including:

[0047] An air supply frame 100 has an air supply duct formed inside and an air supply duct inlet and an air supply duct outlet 101 connected to the air supply duct formed on its surface.

[0048] The air guide assembly 200 includes an air guide 201 rotatably disposed at the air duct outlet 101. The air guide 201 includes an air guide shroud 2011 and an air guide grille 2012 that form an integral structure. The air guide grille 2012 is disposed on one side of the air guide shroud 2011 in the rotation direction and forms an integral structure with the air guide shroud 2011.

[0049] When the air guide 201 is controlled to rotate, it has a first rotation position and a second rotation position. When the air guide 201 is in the first rotation position, the air guide cover 2011 of the air guide 201 covers the air duct outlet 101 to close the air supply duct. When the air guide 201 is in the second rotation position, the air guide grille 2012 of the air guide 201 corresponds to the air duct outlet 101 to open the air supply duct and guide the air.

[0050] The air guide assembly 200 in this embodiment consists of an air guide cover 2011 and an air guide grille 2012 forming a single unit. This integrated design makes the air supply assembly more compact, reduces the connecting parts between components, and simplifies the assembly process. The air guide 201 has two rotational positions: a first rotational position for closing the air supply duct and a second rotational position for opening the air supply duct. This design allows users to flexibly control the opening and closing of the air supply as needed, improving the adjustability of the air supply system. When the air guide 201 is in the second rotational position, the air guide grille 201 corresponds to the air duct outlet 101. This design helps to more effectively guide the airflow out of the air duct outlet 101, improving air supply efficiency. Furthermore, due to the integrated design of the air guide assembly, maintenance and cleaning become more convenient, as users can more easily disassemble and reinstall the air guide assembly without having to handle multiple independent components separately.

[0051] Furthermore, in some possible implementations, the inner surface of the air guide shroud 2011 is formed with a flow guiding surface;

[0052] When the air guide 201 is in the first rotating position, at least a portion of the air guide cover 2011 on the air guide 201 corresponds to the air duct inlet, so that the airflow entering the air duct can be discharged from the air guide grille 2012 under the guiding action of the guide surface.

[0053] In this application, the air guide surface formed by the inner surface of the air guide shroud 2011 optimizes the airflow entering the air supply duct, allowing the airflow to be discharged more evenly and stably through the air guide grille. This design helps reduce airflow turbulence and noise, improving the comfort of air supply. When the air guide component 201 is in the first rotating position, the air guide shroud 2011 corresponds to the air duct inlet. Utilizing the design of the air guide surface, the airflow can be guided more effectively along a predetermined path, thereby improving airflow efficiency. The design of the air guide surface allows for precise control of the airflow direction, meaning that the airflow direction can be adjusted as needed to adapt to different air supply requirements and environmental layouts.

[0054] Furthermore, in some possible implementations, the air guide shroud 2011 is designed as a concave fan-shaped shroud, and the air guide grille 2012 is designed as a fan-shaped grille composed of multiple grille bars 20121.

[0055] The fan-shaped grille is located at one end of the arc length of the fan-shaped cover.

[0056] In this embodiment, the air guide shroud 2011 is designed as a concave fan-shaped shroud. This design enhances structural stability while reducing material usage and manufacturing costs. The fan-shaped shroud helps concentrate airflow, while the fan-shaped grille helps disperse it. This design maintains concentrated airflow while reducing direct impact on the user, improving airflow uniformity and comfort. Furthermore, the fan-shaped design is more visually appealing and can match various interior design styles, enhancing the product's market competitiveness. In addition, the fan-shaped shroud and fan-shaped grille design optimize airflow paths, reducing airflow resistance within the air duct and thus improving airflow efficiency. Compared to circular or rectangular designs, the fan-shaped design reduces material usage while maintaining the same strength and functionality, contributing to cost reduction and weight reduction.

[0057] Furthermore, in some possible implementations, the plurality of grid bars 20121 are all designed as arc-shaped grid bars, and the lines connecting the arc surfaces of the plurality of arc-shaped grid bars form the outer contour of the fan-shaped grid.

[0058] In this embodiment, multiple grille strips 20121 are arranged in an arc shape. As shown in the accompanying drawings, the multiple grille strips 20121 are arranged in a circular arc fan shape, rather than segmented air guide plates with large spacing in a square arrangement. Combined with the air guide hood 2011, the airflow is more concentrated and discharged towards the circular arc-shaped air guide grille, resulting in better air outlet effect. Furthermore, since each air guide grille strip has a rolling downward trend, it can guide airflow left and right while also guiding airflow up and down, thus achieving a relatively more directional air guiding effect.

[0059] Furthermore, in some possible embodiments, the air guide 201 is a spherical air guide with a hollow interior and an air inlet, an air outlet and an air guide cover formed in the circumference, and the air guide grille 2012 is set at the air outlet position.

[0060] The central axis of the air guide 201 serves as the rotation axis of the air guide 201.

[0061] Furthermore, in some possible embodiments, the air guide 201 has an air inlet at an angle of 140°-170° to the axis of rotation, an air outlet at an angle of 90°-100° to the axis of rotation, and an air guide shroud 2011 at an angle of 100°-120° to the axis of rotation.

[0062] Furthermore, in some possible embodiments, the air outlet of the air guide 201 is provided with a plurality of arc-shaped grille strips constituting the air guide grille 2012, wherein the width of the arc-shaped grille strips is designed to be between 25mm and 45mm.

[0063] Furthermore, in some possible implementations, the air guide 201 is a spherical air guide, and the air guide assembly 200 also includes a motor 202 for driving the air guide 201 to rotate.

[0064] The motor 202 is fixed on the air supply frame 100, and the output end of the motor 202 is connected to the central axis of the spherical air guide 201 to directly drive the air guide 201 to rotate.

[0065] Specifically, in combination Figures 1-5 As can be seen, the top shape of the air supply component in this application embodiment is as follows: Figures 1-3 As shown, it resembles a rotating globe or helmet, mainly composed of a motor 202 and an integrated air guide 201. The motor 202 directly drives the spherical air guide 201 to rotate and guide the air. The rotating spherical air guide 201 has evenly arranged air guide grille strips 20121, similar to arc grilles, distributed within an angle range of about 90°-100°. (To achieve a better air guiding effect, the width of the air guide grille strips 20121 can be designed to be about 25mm-45mm.) In addition, there is an air guide cover 2011, similar to a semi-circular petal, within an angle range of 100°-120°. (This acts as an air guide cover, guiding the air out through the air guide grille 2012, similar to an arc grille, before exhausting it.) The remaining 140°-170° angle range is open for air to enter and exit.

[0066] The air supply assembly has a simple structure, consisting of a motor 202 driving a spherical air guide 201 (the fixed shaft on the spherical air guide 201 is connected to the motor 202). When the air conditioner is running, the motor 202 drives the spherical air guide 201 to rotate, with the air guiding angle ranging from 0 to 70°. Within this range, the center of gravity of each grille 20121 or the center of gravity of the semi-circular petal-shaped air guide cover 202 is always on one side of the rotation center, and will not frequently switch between the two sides of the rotation center, thus avoiding the phenomenon of vibration of the air supply assembly. Because the air guide grilles on the integrated air guide 201 are arranged in an arc-shaped fan shape, rather than segmented air guide grilles arranged in a square with larger spacing, and with the air guide cover 2011 of the semi-circular petal shape guiding the airflow, the airflow is more concentrated and discharged towards the arc-shaped air guide grille, resulting in better airflow effect. Furthermore, because each air guide grille 20121 has a rolling downward trend, it guides airflow both left and right as well as up and down, achieving a relatively more directional airflow effect.

[0067] Furthermore, a second aspect of the present application also provides an air conditioner, which includes an air supply duct and the air supply assembly provided in the first aspect of the present application;

[0068] The air outlet side of the air supply duct is connected to the air inlet of the air supply component.

[0069] Furthermore, in some possible implementations, the air conditioner is a cabinet air conditioner with an upper air vent 300 and a lower air vent 400, and the interior of the air conditioner has an air supply duct that connects the upper air vent 300 and the lower air vent 400.

[0070] An air supply component is installed between the air supply duct and the upwind outlet 300. The air supply component's air duct inlet is connected to the air supply duct, and its air duct outlet 101 is connected to the upwind outlet 300.
