Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air conditioner technology, specifically to an air guide plate assembly, and also to an air conditioner using the air guide plate assembly. Background Technology

[0002] As people's living standards improve, air conditioners have become ubiquitous in daily life, leading to increasingly higher demands from users for their overall performance, particularly in terms of comfort and temperature control. Air conditioners with both top and bottom air outlets are now available on the market; in cooling mode, the top outlet blows air upwards, while in heating mode, the bottom outlet blows air downwards.

[0003] One existing type of air conditioner has two air vents, one at the top and one at the bottom. When heating, the top vent is the air inlet and the bottom vent is the air outlet. When switching to cooling, the top vent becomes the air outlet and the bottom vent becomes the air inlet. To address the air filtration issue when the vent is used as an air inlet, this solution places a filter at the air vent. When the vent is an air outlet, the filter assembly is rotated to its first position, where it is flush with the side of the air guide plate. This satisfies the requirement of no air resistance at the air outlet and eliminates the need to occupy internal space for temporary filter storage. When the vent is an air inlet, the filter assembly covers the vent, filtering the airflow entering the air conditioner and improving the air quality at the air outlet.

[0004] However, in this solution, the air guide plate and the filter assembly are set up independently, and during control, the air guide plate and the filter assembly are driven by independent motors, which is relatively inconvenient to control. Moreover, after the filter assembly and the air guide plate are attached, the air guide plate can no longer swing to adjust the air direction.

[0005] Therefore, a more optimized air guide plate assembly needs to be considered. Utility Model Content

[0006] The primary objective of this invention is to provide an air guide plate assembly that allows for easy control of the filter when switching between air intake and exhaust states, thereby ensuring air quality and airflow.

[0007] The second objective of this invention is to provide an air conditioner that allows for easy control of the filter when the air vent switches between air intake and exhaust states, thereby ensuring air quality and airflow.

[0008] To achieve the above-mentioned main objectives, the air guide plate assembly provided by this utility model includes an air guide plate body, a filter assembly, and an opening and closing control assembly. The rotating shaft side of the filter assembly is movably connected to the rotating shaft side of the air guide plate body, and the movable side of the filter assembly is rotatably set with the rotating shaft side of the filter assembly as the rotating shaft. The opening and closing control assembly is used to control the movable side of the filter assembly and the movable side of the air guide plate body to be attached or separated.

[0009] As can be seen from the above solution, the air guide plate assembly of this utility model is integrated with the air guide plate body and the filter assembly, and the rotating shaft side of the filter assembly is movably connected to the rotating shaft side of the air guide plate body. The opening and closing control assembly is used to control the contact or separation of the moving side of the filter assembly and the moving side of the air guide plate body. Depending on whether the air conditioner vent is an air inlet or an air outlet, the contact or separation of the moving side of the filter assembly and the moving side of the air guide plate body can be flexibly realized, so as to ensure air quality when air is inlet and ensure air volume when air is outlet without affecting the air guiding effect.

[0010] In a further embodiment, the opening and closing control component includes a drive device and a guide bar. The drive device is used to drive the guide bar to move along the width direction of the filter assembly. The filter assembly includes a filter support, on which a guide groove extending along the width direction of the filter assembly is provided. The guide bar is configured to cooperate with the guide groove. When the guide bar is inserted into the guide groove, the movable side of the filter assembly and the movable side of the air guide plate body can be separated. When the guide bar is removed from the guide groove, the movable side of the filter assembly and the movable side of the air guide plate body are attached.

[0011] It can be seen that by setting a driving device to drive the guide bar to move, and the guide bar cooperating with the guide groove on the filter screen bracket, the contact and separation of the movable side of the filter screen assembly and the movable side of the air guide plate body can be realized. This mechanical structure cooperation method is stable and reliable, and improves the stability of the entire air guide plate assembly.

[0012] In a further embodiment, the number of guide strips is two or more, and the two or more guide strips are evenly arranged along the length of the filter assembly.

[0013] Therefore, by setting two or more guide bars, the filter assembly can be fixed at multiple points, ensuring the stability of the filter assembly.

[0014] In a further embodiment, the ends of multiple guide strips furthest from the filter assembly are connected by connectors.

[0015] As can be seen, the ends of multiple guide strips that are away from the filter assembly are connected by connectors, which makes it easy to control the movement of multiple guide strips at the same time.

[0016] In a further embodiment, the drive unit includes a motor and a gear, with the gear mounted on the motor shaft; a rack is provided at the end of the guide bar away from the filter assembly, and the gear meshes with the rack.

[0017] Therefore, it can be seen that by setting up motors, gears, and racks, the accuracy and stability of control can be improved.

[0018] In a further embodiment, the filter support also includes a push rod, a push rod mounting part, and a spring. The push rod mounting part has a mounting through hole extending along the width direction of the filter support, and the mounting through hole is coaxially arranged with the guide groove. A spring mounting position is provided between the push rod mounting part and the guide groove. A part of the push rod is inserted into the mounting through hole, and a part of the push rod is located at the spring mounting position. A limit block is provided at the end of the push rod near the guide groove. The spring is fitted on the part of the push rod located at the spring mounting position. The first end of the spring abuts against the push rod mounting part, and the second end of the spring abuts against the limit block.

[0019] In a further embodiment, there are at least two air guide plate bodies, and each air guide plate body is provided with a filter assembly; at least two air guide plate bodies are arranged sequentially along the width direction of the air guide plate body; when the guide bar is inserted into the guide groove of the filter support adjacent to the opening and closing control assembly in the direction of the guide bar insertion into the guide groove, the push rod of the previous filter support is inserted into the guide groove of the next filter support.

[0020] Therefore, it can be seen that by setting up push rods, push rod mounting parts and springs, multiple filter assemblies can be controlled simultaneously using only one opening and closing control component when multiple filter assemblies are arranged side by side, thus simplifying the structure.

[0021] In a further embodiment, the opening and closing control component includes an electromagnet device and a magnetic attractor, which are configured to work together. The electromagnet device or the magnetic attractor is installed on the movable side of the filter assembly. When the electromagnet device and the magnetic attractor are engaged, the movable side of the filter assembly and the movable side of the air guide plate body can be separated. When the electromagnet device and the magnetic attractor are separated, the movable side of the filter assembly and the movable side of the air guide plate body are engaged.

[0022] It can be seen that the opening and closing control component can simplify the control structure by setting up an electromagnet device and a magnetic attraction component to control the separation and attachment of the movable side of the filter assembly and the movable side of the air guide plate body.

[0023] To achieve the second objective mentioned above, the air conditioner provided by this utility model includes a housing, an air vent, and an air guide plate assembly installed on the air vent. The air guide plate assembly uses the aforementioned air guide plate assembly.

[0024] In a further embodiment, when the air outlet is used as an air inlet, the opening and closing control component controls the movable side of the filter assembly to separate from the movable side of the air guide plate body, so that the filter assembly covers the air outlet; when the air outlet is used as an air outlet, the opening and closing control component controls the movable side of the filter assembly to fit against the movable side of the air guide plate body, so that the filter assembly moves synchronously with the air guide plate body.

[0025] Therefore, when the air vent is used as an air inlet, the opening and closing control component can control the movable side of the filter assembly to separate from the movable side of the air guide plate body, allowing the filter assembly to cover the air vent for air filtration and ensuring the cleanliness of the air conditioner's interior. When the air vent is used as an air outlet, the opening and closing control component keeps the movable side of the filter assembly in contact with the movable side of the air guide plate body, causing the filter assembly to move synchronously with the air guide plate body, avoiding obstruction of the airflow by the filter and ensuring smooth and stable airflow.

[0026] In a further embodiment, the air vents include an upper air vent and a lower air vent, both of which are equipped with corresponding air guide plate assemblies; in the vertical direction, the upper air vent is located at the top of the housing, and the lower air vent is located at the bottom of the housing.

[0027] As can be seen, by setting up an upper air vent and a lower air vent, with the upper air vent located at the top of the casing and the lower air vent located at the bottom of the casing, the corresponding air vent can be selected when blowing cold air and hot air, thereby improving the blowing effect.

[0028] In a further design, the housing is also equipped with a main air inlet, which is located at the top of the housing.

[0029] Therefore, by setting a main air inlet, the problems of insufficient air intake, poor air intake effect, and insufficient air output can be solved. Attached Figure Description

[0037] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. Detailed Implementation

[0038] First embodiment of the air conditioner:

[0039] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the air conditioner includes a housing 1, which has an upper air inlet 2 and a lower air inlet 3. An air guide plate assembly 4 is installed on the upper air inlet 2, and an air guide plate assembly 5 and an air guide plate assembly 6 are installed on the lower air inlet 3. Vertically, the upper air inlet 2 is located at the top of the housing 1, and the lower air inlet 3 is located at the bottom of the housing 1. By setting the upper air inlet 2 at the top of the housing 1 and the lower air inlet 3 at the bottom of the housing 1, the corresponding air outlet can be selected for blowing cold or hot air, thereby improving the airflow effect. The housing 1 also has a main air inlet 7, located at the top of the housing 1. By setting the main air inlet 7, the problems of insufficient air intake, poor air intake effect, and insufficient air output can be solved.

[0040] In this embodiment, the air guide plate assembly 4, air guide plate assembly 5 and air guide plate assembly 6 all adopt the same structure. The following description focuses on air guide plate assembly 4.

[0041] See Figure 2 The air guide plate assembly comprises four parts: an air guide plate body 10, a filter assembly, and an opening / closing control assembly 30. The rotating shaft side of the air guide plate body 10 is mounted on the housing 1 via a connecting shaft 101. The rotating shaft side 202 of the filter assembly is movably connected to the rotating shaft side of the air guide plate body 10. The movable side 201 of the filter assembly is rotatably configured around the rotating shaft side 202 of the filter assembly. The opening / closing control assembly 30 is used to control the engagement or disengagement of the movable side 201 of the filter assembly and the movable side of the air guide plate body 10.

[0042] In this embodiment, the opening / closing control component 30 includes a driving device 301 and a guide bar 302. The driving device 301 drives the guide bar 302 to move along the width direction of the filter assembly. The filter assembly includes a filter support 20, on which a filter screen (not shown in the figure) is covered. The filter support 20 is provided with a guide groove 203 extending along the width direction of the filter assembly, and the guide bar 302 is configured to cooperate with the guide groove 203. When the guide bar 302 is inserted into the guide groove 203, the movable side 201 of the filter assembly and the movable side of the air guide plate body 10 can be separated. When the guide bar 302 is removed from the guide groove 203, the movable side 201 of the filter assembly and the movable side of the air guide plate body 10 are brought into contact under the action of the filter assembly's own gravity. Of course, in order for the filter assembly to achieve the contact between the movable side 201 of the filter assembly and the movable side of the air guide plate body 10 by its own gravity, the angle of the filter assembly when the air outlet is closed needs to be set, and the specific angle can be set as needed. By setting the drive device 301 to drive the guide bar 302 to move, the guide bar 302 cooperates with the guide groove 203 on the filter support 20, which can realize the contact and separation of the movable side of the filter assembly and the movable side of the air guide plate body 10. This mechanical structure cooperation method is stable and reliable, improving the stability of the entire air guide plate assembly.

[0043] The drive unit 301 includes a motor 3011 and a gear 3012, with the gear 3012 mounted on the shaft of the motor 3011. A rack 3022 is provided at the end of the guide bar 302 away from the filter assembly, and the gear 3012 meshes with the rack 3022.

[0044] The number of guide strips 302 is two or more, and the two or more guide strips 302 are evenly arranged along the length direction of the filter assembly. In this embodiment, the number of guide strips 302 is three. The ends of the multiple guide strips 302 away from the filter assembly are connected by connectors 3021. Preferably, the ends of all guide strips 302 away from the filter assembly are connected by connectors 3021. By setting two or more guide strips 302, the filter assembly can be fixed at multiple points, ensuring the stability of the filter assembly. Connecting the ends of the multiple guide strips 302 away from the filter assembly by connectors 3021 facilitates simultaneous control of the movement of multiple guide strips 302.

[0045] In this embodiment, when the air conditioner is in operation, if the air vent is used as an air inlet, the opening / closing control component 30 controls the movable side 201 of the filter assembly to separate from the movable side of the air guide plate body 10, so that the filter assembly covers the air vent. If the air vent is used as an air outlet, the opening / closing control component 30 controls the movable side 201 of the filter assembly to fit against the movable side of the air guide plate body 10, so that the filter assembly moves synchronously with the air guide plate body 10. When the air vent is used as an air inlet, the opening / closing control component 30 can control the movable side 201 of the filter assembly to separate from the movable side of the air guide plate body 10, allowing the filter assembly to cover the air vent for air filtration, ensuring the cleanliness of the air conditioner's interior. When the air vent is used as an air outlet, the opening / closing control component 30 makes the movable side 201 of the filter assembly fit against the movable side of the air guide plate body 10, so that the filter assembly moves synchronously with the air guide plate body 10, avoiding obstruction of the air outlet by the filter and ensuring smooth and stable airflow.

[0046] For details, see Figure 3 When the air conditioner is in cooling mode, and the lower air outlet 3 is used as an air inlet, air exits from the upper air outlet 2. At this time, the opening / closing control component 30 in the air guide plate assembly 5 and air guide plate assembly 6 controls the movable side 201 of the filter assembly to separate from the movable side of the air guide plate body 10, causing the filter assembly to cover the air outlet. The opening / closing control component 30 in the air guide plate assembly 4 controls the movable side 201 of the filter assembly to adhere to the movable side of the air guide plate body 10, causing the filter assembly to move synchronously with the air guide plate body 10. See also... Figure 4 When the air conditioner is in heating mode, and the lower air outlet 3 is used as the air outlet, the upper air outlet 2 takes in air. At this time, the opening and closing control component 30 in the air guide plate assembly 5 and the air guide plate assembly 6 controls the movable side 201 of the filter assembly to fit with the movable side of the air guide plate body 10, so that the filter assembly moves synchronously with the air guide plate body 10. The opening and closing control component 30 of the air guide plate assembly 4 controls the movable side 201 of the filter assembly to separate from the movable side of the air guide plate body 10, so that the filter assembly covers the air outlet.

[0047] As described above, the air guide plate assembly of this utility model is integrated with the air guide plate body 10 and the filter assembly, and the rotating shaft side 202 of the filter assembly is movably connected to the rotating shaft side of the air guide plate body 10. The opening and closing control assembly 30 is used to control the contact or separation between the movable side 201 of the filter assembly and the movable side of the air guide plate body 10. Depending on whether the air conditioner vent is an air inlet or an air outlet, the contact or separation between the movable side of the filter assembly and the movable side of the air guide plate body 10 can be flexibly achieved, so as to ensure air quality when air is inlet and ensure air volume when air is outlet without affecting the air guiding effect.

[0048] Second embodiment of the air conditioner:

[0049] The only difference between the air conditioner in this embodiment and the air conditioner in the first embodiment is the filter support. The following description focuses on the differences, and the reference numerals are the same as those in the first embodiment.

[0050] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, the filter support 20 further includes a push rod 204, a push rod mounting portion 205, and a spring 206. The push rod mounting portion 205 has a mounting through hole (not shown) extending along the width direction of the filter support 20, and the mounting through hole is coaxially arranged with the guide groove 203. A spring mounting position 207 is provided between the push rod mounting portion 205 and the guide groove 203. A portion of the push rod 204 is inserted into the mounting through hole, and a portion of the push rod 204 is located at the spring mounting position 207. A limiting block 208 is provided at one end of the push rod 204 near the guide groove 203. The spring 206 is fitted onto the portion of the push rod 204 located at the spring mounting position 207. The first end of the spring 206 abuts against the push rod mounting portion 205, and the second end of the spring 206 abuts against the limiting block 208.

[0051] In this embodiment, there are at least two air guide plate bodies 10, and each air guide plate body 10 corresponds to a filter assembly. The at least two air guide plate bodies 10 are arranged sequentially along the width direction of the air guide plate body 10, such as... Figure 1 The arrangement of the air guide plate group 5 and air guide plate group 6 is as follows: When the guide bar 302 is inserted into the guide groove 203 of the filter support 20 adjacent to the opening / closing control component, the push rod 204 of the previous filter support 20 is inserted into the guide groove 203 of the next filter support 20. For example, when the guide bar 302 is inserted into the guide groove 203 of the air guide plate group 5, the push rod 204 of the air guide plate group 5 is inserted into the guide groove 203 of the air guide plate group 6. By providing the push rod 204, the push rod mounting part 205, and the spring 206, the filter support 20 can simultaneously control multiple filter assemblies using only one opening / closing control component 30 when multiple filter assemblies are arranged side-by-side, simplifying the control structure.

[0052] It should be noted that when multiple air guide plate assemblies are arranged side by side, except for the last air guide plate assembly which can use the filter support in Embodiment 1, the other air guide plate assemblies can use the filter support of this embodiment. Of course, the last air guide plate assembly can also use the filter support of this embodiment, but a corresponding receiving position needs to be provided on the housing to accommodate the extended push rod.

[0053] Third embodiment of the air conditioner:

[0054] The only difference between the air conditioner in this embodiment and the air conditioner in the first embodiment is the setting of the opening and closing control component. The following description focuses on the differences.

[0055] In this embodiment, see Figure 7The opening / closing control component 300 includes an electromagnet device 3001 and a magnetic attractor 3002. The electromagnet device 3001 and the magnetic attractor 3002 are configured to work together. The electromagnet device 3001 is mounted on the housing of the air conditioner, and the magnetic attractor 3002 is mounted on the movable side 2001 of the filter assembly 200. Of course, the mounting positions of the electromagnet device 3001 and the magnetic attractor 3002 can be interchanged. The electromagnet device 3001 is equipped with a coil and a magnetic core. A magnetic field is generated by energizing the coil, achieving attraction with the magnetic attractor 3002. When the coil is de-energized, the magnetic field disappears. Preferably, the magnetic attractor 3002 is an iron block. When the electromagnet device 3001 and the magnetic attractor 3002 are engaged, the movable side 2001 of the filter assembly 200 and the movable side 1001 of the air guide plate body 100 can be separated. When the electromagnet device 3001 and the magnetic attractor 3002 are separated, the movable side 2001 of the filter assembly 200 and the movable side 1001 of the air guide plate body 100 will adhere to each other under the weight of the filter assembly 200 itself. The opening and closing control component 300 controls the separation and adhesion of the movable side 2001 of the filter assembly 200 and the movable side 1001 of the air guide plate body 100 by setting the electromagnet device 3001 and the magnetic attractor 3002, which simplifies the control structure.

[0056] It should be noted that the above are only preferred embodiments of the present utility model, but the design concept of the utility model is not limited thereto. Any non-substantial modifications made to the present utility model using this concept shall also fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
