[0041] Figure 1 is a schematic structural diagram of an indoor unit of an air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present application, likeFigure 1 As shown, and with reference Figures 2 to 7 This utility model provides an indoor unit 100 for an air conditioner, comprising a body 110, a panel 120, at least two guide rails 130, at least two drive arms 141, and at least two elastic members 181. An air inlet 160 is formed on the body 110. The panel 120 is rotatably disposed at the air inlet 160, and the panel 120 is used to open and close the air inlet 160. At least two guide rails 130 are spaced apart on the inner sidewall of the panel 120, and each guide rail has a sliding portion 150. Drive arms 141 are arranged corresponding to the guide rails, and each drive arm 141 is movable along the inward and outward directions of the body 110. Elastic members 181 are arranged corresponding to the drive arms 141, and each elastic member 181 connects the drive arm 141 and the sliding portion 150, and is configured to apply a force that brings the sliding portion 150 and the drive arm 141 closer together or further apart.

[0042] In this embodiment, when the air conditioner is turned on, the drive arm 141 moves from the inside to the outside along the body, causing the sliding part 150 at its end to slide along the guide rail 130 on the inner side of the panel 120; the drive panel 120 rotates around the pivot, so that the panel 120 smoothly unfolds from the closed state to a preset opening angle to open the air inlet 160. When the air conditioner is turned off, the drive arm 141 moves in the opposite direction, the sliding part 150 slides in the opposite direction along the guide rail, and pulls the panel 120 back to the position where it completely blocks the air inlet 160.

[0043] In this embodiment, an elastic element 181 is provided between the end of the drive arm and the sliding part, and the sliding part is telescopically mounted on the drive arm. During the movement of the panel, when the drive motors 143 connected to the various drive arms 141 are out of sync, that is, when the various drive arms 141 move asynchronously, the elastic elements 181 can compensate for the axial displacement deviation between the different drive arms 141, so that the sliding parts 150 slide synchronously along the guide rail, thereby avoiding panel jamming.

[0044] In some optional embodiments of this utility model, the elastic element 181 is a spring. In this embodiment, a spring is used as the elastic element 181, utilizing its linear elastic characteristics to achieve precise displacement compensation control. Metal springs also have the characteristics of good creep resistance and high fatigue strength, and can maintain stable elastic compensation capability under long-term high-frequency opening and closing conditions.

[0045] In some optional embodiments of the utility model, the elastic member 181 is a rubber buffer block. In this embodiment, the rubber buffer block serves as the elastic member 181 and has nonlinear damping characteristics, which can effectively absorb impact vibration energy when compensating for displacement deviation and significantly reduce mechanical noise during the start and stop of the panel. Its large deformation capability can adapt to a larger range of displacement deviation, and the inherent friction damping characteristics of the rubber material help to suppress high-frequency micro-vibration during panel movement, which is particularly suitable for air conditioning use scenarios with strict silence requirements.

[0046] In some optional embodiments of the utility model, the indoor unit of the air conditioner further comprises a connecting rod 182, one end of the connecting rod 182 is fixedly connected with the sliding part, and the other end of the connecting rod 182 is connected with the elastic member 181. In this embodiment, the elastic member 181 can be a spring or a rubber buffer block.

[0047] This embodiment enhances the structural rigidity and force transmission stability between the end of the driving arm 141 and the sliding part 150 by adding the connecting rod 182 to fixedly connect the sliding part 150 and the elastic member 181, making the elastic member 181's extension and retraction trajectory more controllable, further improving the compensation accuracy of displacement deviation between different driving arms 141, and reducing the wear caused by flexible connection between components, prolonging the service life of the elastic member 181.

[0048] In some optional embodiments of the utility model, the indoor unit of the air conditioner further comprises a cylinder 183, the cylinder 183 is coaxially arranged at the end of the driving arm 141; the elastic member 181 is arranged in the cylinder 183, and the end of the connecting rod 182 is inserted into the cylinder 183.

[0049] Specifically, the elastic member 181 is a spring. The end of the connecting rod 182 close to the spring is provided with a stepped portion 1821. The connecting rod 182 has the function of a piston rod and can extend and retract along the cylinder 183 under the action of the spring.

[0050] In this embodiment, the cylinder 183 is coaxially installed with the driving arm 141 to form a guide chamber, the elastic member 181 is built-in and the end of the connecting rod 182 is inserted into the cylinder 183. When the driving arm moves, the elastic member 181 is pressed or pulled in the cylinder 183, the connecting rod 182 stably extends and retracts along the axis direction of the cylinder 183, and the wall surface of the cylinder 183 limits the radial deformation of the elastic member 181 to prevent deflection. This structure ensures that the elastic member 181 only deforms in the axial direction through physical constraint, which improves the reliability of synchronous compensation and simplifies the assembly process. At the same time, the cylinder 183 fully surrounds and protects the elastic member 181, effectively preventing dust from entering.

[0051] In some optional embodiments of the utility model, the sliding part 150 is a sliding block, which is fixedly arranged at the end of the connecting rod 182.

[0052] In some optional embodiments of the present application, the sliding part 150 is a pulley, which is rotatably installed on the end of the connecting rod 182 through a mounting shaft 151. The axial direction of the mounting shaft 151 is perpendicular to the extension direction of the guide rail 130. When the driving arm 141 moves along the inside-outside direction of the machine body 110, the driving arm 141 drives the pulley to roll along the sliding groove of the guide rail 130.

[0053] Compared with the sliding block, the present embodiment uses a pulley as the sliding part, replaces the sliding friction with rolling friction mode, reduces the wear rate of the sliding part and the guide rail, and improves the smoothness and stability of the overall action.

[0054] In some optional embodiments of the present application, each guide rail 130 includes a first guide rail part 131 having a first sliding groove, and the sliding part 150 is installed in the first sliding groove. The sliding part 150 is a pulley or a sliding block.

[0055] As shown in Figure 4 and Figure 7 In some optional embodiments of the present application, each guide rail 130 includes a first guide rail part 131 having a first sliding groove, and the sliding part 150 is installed in the first sliding groove. The sliding part 150 is a pulley or a sliding block.

[0056] Compared with the previous embodiment, by increasing the second guide rail part 132 and its corresponding second sliding groove, the two sliding parts 150 at the end of the driving arm 141 can slide in the first sliding groove and the second sliding groove, respectively. This double guide rail design not only further enhances the stability of the opening and closing action of the panel 120, but also improves the carrying capacity and durability of the entire driving system by dispersing the force on the sliding part, reduces the risk of system failure caused by single guide rail wear or failure, and thus improves the overall performance and reliability of the air conditioner indoor unit.

[0057] As shown in Figure 4 and Figure 7 In some optional embodiments of the present application, the first guide rail part 131 and the second guide rail part 132 are detachably connected.

[0058] The present embodiment adopts the detachable connection design of the first guide rail part 131 and the second guide rail part 132, which significantly improves the convenience of processing, assembly and maintenance. Specifically, compared with the integrated type, the split guide rail structure is more convenient to process; at the same time, the easy disassembly and reassembly characteristics of the guide rail greatly facilitate the daily cleaning and maintenance and the repair and replacement work in case of failure, effectively reducing the maintenance cost.

[0059] AsFigure 7 As shown, in some optional embodiments of this utility model, one end of the first guide rail portion 131 is provided with a first insertion portion 1312, the extension direction of the first insertion portion 1312 being parallel to the extension direction of the first slide groove; the other end of the first guide rail portion 131 is provided with a second insertion portion 1311, the extension direction of the second insertion portion 1311 being perpendicular to the extension direction of the first slide groove. The second guide rail portion 132 is provided with a first insertion groove 1322 and a second insertion groove 1321, the first insertion groove 1322 being used for insertion and engagement with the first insertion portion 1312, and the second insertion groove 1321 being used for insertion and engagement with the second insertion portion 1311.

[0060] In some optional embodiments of this utility model, the first guide rail portion 131 and the second guide rail portion 132 are fastened by a threaded connection. Specifically, threaded holes are provided at both ends of the first guide rail portion 131 and the second guide rail portion 132, and bolts or screws are screwed into these threaded holes to achieve a stable connection between the two. This connection method is firm and reliable, but requires tools for disassembly and installation.

[0061] This embodiment achieves a stable and flexible plug-in connection between the first guide rail section 131 and the second guide rail section 132 by providing a first insertion part 1312 parallel to the slide groove and a second insertion part 1311 perpendicular to the slide groove on the first guide rail section 131, and a corresponding insertion groove on the second guide rail section 132. This structure not only enhances the stability and reliability of the guide rail connection but also facilitates quick installation and disassembly, improving assembly efficiency and maintenance convenience.

[0062] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in some optional embodiments of this utility model, one end of the guide rail 130 is rotatably connected to the panel 120, and the other end of the guide rail 130 is detachably connected to the panel 120. Specifically, a mounting base 123 is provided on the inner wall surface of the panel 120, and one end of the guide rail 130 is rotatably mounted on the mounting base 123 via a rotating shaft, the axis of which is perpendicular to the extension direction of the guide rail. The guide rail 130 and the panel 120 can be detachably connected by a snap-fit ​​connection or a threaded connection. Preferably, the guide rail 130 and the panel 120 are connected by a snap-fit ​​122. More preferably, multiple snap-fit ​​structures are provided between the guide rail 130 and the panel 120, so that the installation stability of the guide rail 130 can be ensured when the guide rail 130 and the panel 120 are fixed together.

[0063] In an embodiment, such as Figure 2As shown, when the guide rail 130 is fixed to the panel 120, the panel 120 can only open to a preset angle, such as 35 degrees. After separating the guide rail 130 from the panel 120, the panel 120 can open to 90 degrees, which is more conducive to air intake at the air inlet 160 and also makes it easier to remove the filter at the air inlet 160, thus facilitating filter cleaning.

Specifically, when the air inlet 160 is located on the front side of the body 110, the drive arm 141 can move in the front-back direction of the housing. When the air inlet 160 is located on the upper side of the body 110, the drive arm 141 can move in the vertical direction of the housing.

[0065] like Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the gear and rack mechanism includes a gear 142, a rack 145, and a drive motor 143. A transmission box 144 is provided inside the machine body 110, and the drive motor 143 and gear 142 are installed inside the transmission box 144. The rack 145 is disposed on the drive arm 141, and the gear 142 meshes with the rack. The output end of the drive motor 143 is connected to the gear 142. The drive motor is configured to drive the gear 142 to rotate, thereby driving the drive arm 141 to move in the inward and outward directions of the machine body 110. In other words, the drive arm 141, gear 142, rack, and drive motor 143 constitute the drive mechanism of the panel 120. In this embodiment, the gear and rack mechanism has the advantages of high transmission accuracy, long service life, and stable and reliable operation. Using a gear and rack mechanism to drive the drive arm ensures the stability and reliability of the drive arm 141's movement.

[0066] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some optional embodiments of this utility model, there are two drive arms 141, which are respectively disposed on both sides of the width direction of the air inlet 160. That is, the panel 120 is provided with two drive mechanisms, which are respectively disposed on both sides of the width direction of the air inlet 160.

[0067] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some optional embodiments of this utility model, the panel 120 is rotatably mounted on the body 110 via a rotating arm 121. Specifically, one end of the rotating arm 121 is connected to the panel 120, and the other end is rotatably mounted on the body 110 via a rotating shaft. The body 110 has a clearance hole for the rotating arm 121 to pass through, so that the two ends of the rotating arm 121 are located on the inner and outer sides of the body 110, respectively.

[0069] In some embodiments of this utility model, the rotation axis of the panel 120 is parallel to the vertical direction of the body 110. That is, the rotation shaft on the rotating arm 121 is arranged along the vertical direction of the body.

[0070] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some optional embodiments of this utility model, an air outlet 170 is also formed on the body 110, and the air inlet 160 and the air outlet 170 are disposed on the front side of the body 110, with the air inlet 160 located above the air outlet 170. The panel 120 is rotatably mounted on the body 110 via a rotating arm 121, which is disposed at the bottom of the panel 120. Specifically, the body 110 includes a front shell 111, on which an air inlet 160 and an air outlet 170 are formed, and a heat exchange air duct connecting the air inlet 160 and the air outlet 170 is formed inside the body 110; the air inlet 160 and the air outlet 170 are distributed in the vertical direction. The drive arm 141 is inclined relative to the front shell 111.

[0071] In this embodiment, both the air inlet 160 and the air outlet 170 are located on the front side of the unit, which facilitates the embedded installation of the indoor unit in a cabinet or wall to meet the diverse usage needs of users. Furthermore, the rotating arm 121 is located at the lower edge of the panel 120, which can prevent the intake airflow and the blower airflow from interfering with each other.
