Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air guiding technology, and more specifically, to an air conditioner. Background Technology

[0002] In existing air conditioner indoor units, the air guide assembly is located at the air outlet on the lower front side of the indoor unit. It is rotated by a motor to adjust the direction and change the airflow at the air outlet, achieving different blowing or sweeping modes. Currently, the air guide assembly is generally mounted on a base, and its motor is also fixed to the base. Therefore, when replacing the motor and air guide assembly, it is necessary to disassemble and reassemble them separately from the inside and outside of the base. This assembly process is complex and easily interfered with by other components, making it inconvenient to disassemble or reassemble the motor or air guide assembly. Utility Model Content

[0003] The problem solved by this invention is that the motor and air guide assembly are mounted on the base, and are easily interfered with by other components during disassembly and assembly, causing inconvenience.

[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, this utility model provides an air conditioner, comprising a base, a middle frame, and an air guide assembly. The air guide assembly is movably connected to the air outlet of the air conditioner. The air outlet includes an upstream air outlet area and a downstream air outlet area connected sequentially along the air outlet direction. The upstream air outlet area is located on the base, and the downstream air outlet area is located on the middle frame. A first adapter plate is located at the end of the air guide assembly. A driving device for driving the air guide assembly to rotate is mounted on the first adapter plate, and the first adapter plate has a drive shaft hole through which the drive shaft of the driving device passes and connects to the air guide assembly. One end of the first adapter plate is connected to the outer wall of the base corresponding to the upstream air outlet area. The other end of the first adapter plate, where the drive shaft hole is located, extends to the middle frame corresponding to the downstream air outlet area. The middle frame has a notch communicating with the drive shaft hole, so that the air guide assembly can be detachably connected to the base of the air conditioner via the first adapter plate, and the air guide assembly is located in the downstream air outlet area.

[0005] The technical effects achieved by adopting this technical solution are as follows: the driving device is used to control the rotation of the air guide assembly, thereby realizing air outlet at different angles; the air guide assembly is fixed to the first adapter plate, so after the first adapter plate is removed from the base of the air conditioner, the entire air guide assembly can be removed at the same time. After being separated from the air conditioner, it is convenient to disassemble and repair each component; the first adapter plate extends to the downstream area of ​​the air outlet, which allows the air guide assembly to be moved outward, and it will not be interfered with by the internal space of the air conditioner during disassembly.

[0006] Furthermore, one end face of the base is provided with a wind guide motor mounting hole, which can be used to install a wind guide motor; the first adapter plate includes: a first positioning block, which matches the wind guide motor mounting hole; wherein, after the wind guide motor is removed from the wind guide motor mounting hole, the first adapter plate can be installed into the wind guide motor mounting hole through the first positioning block.

[0007] The technical effects achieved by adopting this technical solution are as follows: The air guide motor mounting hole is used to install the air guide motor to the base. However, in this technical solution, the drive device has already been installed on the first adapter plate. At this time, the original air guide motor mounting hole is used as a positioning hole, which allows the air guide component provided by this technical solution to be installed on the original base and plays a positioning and installation role. At the same time, the first positioning block blocks the air guide motor mounting hole, thus preventing air leakage.

[0008] Furthermore, the air conditioner also includes a base baffle, which is located on the side of the first adapter plate away from the drive device, and is used to abut against the side of the base.

[0009] The technical effect achieved by adopting this technical solution is as follows: the base baffle is used to prevent the base and the first adapter plate from directly contacting each other, thereby reducing the contact area and thus reducing noise.

[0010] Furthermore, the air conditioner also includes a base positioning block, which is located on the side of the first adapter plate away from the driving device and on the periphery of the driving shaft, and the base positioning block abuts against the base.

[0011] The technical effects achieved by adopting this technical solution are as follows: the base positioning block can prevent the base from contacting the drive shaft during and after assembly, thus avoiding damage to the drive shaft, and at the same time, it achieves the positioning of the base and the air conditioner.

[0012] Furthermore, the air conditioner also includes a hollowed-out groove, which is formed on the side of the first adapter plate away from the base positioning block.

[0013] The technical effects achieved by adopting this technical solution are as follows: the base positioning block has a raised structure with glue removed from its back, which can ensure that the thickness of the parts is consistent, facilitate material feeding and cooling, improve strength, and prevent the appearance of the first adapter plate from being reduced.

[0014] Furthermore, the air conditioner also includes: a second adapter plate, the second adapter plate being located at the end of the air guide assembly away from the first adapter plate; the second adapter plate is provided with a driven shaft hole, the driven shaft hole being coaxially arranged with the drive shaft hole, the driven shaft hole being used for rotatable connection with the air guide assembly; the middle frame is provided with another notch communicating with the driven shaft hole.

[0015] The technical effects achieved by adopting this solution are as follows: The second adapter plate supports the air guide rod at the other end of the inner air guide plate, enabling the air guide assembly to rotate coaxially between the first and second adapter plates. The second adapter plate is detachably connected to the air conditioner's base, meaning both ends of the air conditioner can be separated from the base for individual maintenance and replacement. The driven shaft hole supports the other end of the air guide assembly and allows it to rotate. The notch on the middle frame allows the air guide assembly to connect with the driven shaft hole.

[0016] Furthermore, the other end face of the base is provided with a guide shaft mounting hole corresponding to the guide motor mounting hole, and the guide motor mounting hole can install the guide shaft; the second adapter plate includes: a second positioning block, the second positioning block matching the guide shaft mounting hole; wherein, after the guide shaft is removed from the guide shaft mounting hole, the second adapter plate can be installed into the guide shaft mounting hole through the second positioning block.

[0017] The technical effects achieved by adopting this technical solution are as follows: The air guide shaft mounting hole is used to install the other end of the air guide shaft, which is coaxial with the air guide motor, onto the base. However, in this technical solution, the other end of the inner air guide plate has already been installed onto the second adapter plate through the air guide connecting rod. At this time, the original air guide shaft mounting hole is used as a positioning hole, which allows the air guide assembly to be installed on the original base and plays a role in positioning and installation. At the same time, the second positioning block blocks the air guide shaft mounting hole, thus preventing air leakage.

[0018] Furthermore, the air guiding assembly includes an air guiding rod and an outer air guiding plate. The outer air guiding plate is connected to one end of the air guiding rod, and the end of the air guiding rod away from the outer air guiding plate is rotatably connected to the second adapter plate. The air guiding assembly also includes an air guiding rod and an inner air guiding plate. The air guiding rod is connected to the inner side of the air guiding assembly, and the inner air guiding plate is connected to the air guiding rod. The drive shaft of the driving device is connected to the end of the air guiding rod away from the outer air guiding plate.

[0019] The technical effects achieved by adopting this technical solution are as follows: the driving device is used to control the rotation of one end of the air guide rod, and the inner air guide plate connected to the air guide rod rotates accordingly; the outer air guide plate can also rotate on its own at the end of the air guide rod, thereby expanding the sweeping range.

[0020] Furthermore, the air guide assembly includes: an external motor, the external air guide plate being driven by the external motor; a drive line buckle is provided on the side of the first adapter plate near the inner air guide plate, the drive line buckle having an openable mounting port and a drive line groove, the mounting port and the drive line groove being connected, and the drive line groove being used to accommodate the wiring of the external motor.

[0021] The technical effect achieved by adopting this technical solution is that the wiring of the external motor can be inserted into the drive wire groove through the deformation of the mounting port and will not come off, thus preventing the air guide rod or external air guide plate from hitting the wiring during movement.

[0022] In summary, the above-mentioned technical solutions of this application can have one or more of the following advantages or beneficial effects: i) The driving device is used to control the rotation of one end of the air guide rod, and the air guide assembly at the other end of the air guide rod rotates accordingly, thereby realizing air outlet at different angles; ii) The air guide rod and the motor are both fixed to the first adapter plate, and the other side of the air guide rod is fixed to the second adapter plate. Therefore, after the first adapter plate and the second adapter plate are removed from the base of the air conditioner, the entire air guide assembly, driving device and air conditioner can be removed. After being separated from the air conditioner, it is convenient to disassemble and repair each component without being interfered with by the space inside the air conditioner.

The air guide assembly 420 is movably connected to the air outlet of the air conditioner. The air outlet includes an upstream air outlet area and a downstream air outlet area connected sequentially along the air outlet direction. The upstream air outlet area is located in the base 200, and the downstream air outlet area is located in the middle frame 300. A first adapter plate 140 is located at the end of the air guide assembly 420. A driving device for driving the air guide assembly 420 to rotate is installed on the first adapter plate 140.

[0042] It should be noted that the air guide motor mounting hole 210 is used to install the air guide motor onto the base 200. However, in this technical solution, the drive device has already been installed onto the first adapter plate 140. At this time, the original air guide motor mounting hole 210 is used as a positioning hole, which allows the air guide assembly 420 provided by this technical solution to be installed on the original base 200 and serves as a positioning installation. At the same time, the first positioning plug 141 blocks the air guide motor mounting hole 210, thus preventing air leakage.

At the same time, it realizes the positioning of the middle frame 300 and the air conditioner 100, and reduces the installation gap of the middle frame 300.

[0048] In one specific embodiment, the air conditioner 100 further includes a hollowed-out groove 144, which is formed on the side of the first adapter plate 140 away from the base positioning block 143.

[0049] It should be noted that the base positioning block 143 has a raised structure with glue removed from its back, which can ensure that the thickness of the parts is consistent, facilitate material feeding and cooling, and also improve strength, thus preventing the first adapter plate 140 from being reduced in appearance.

[0052] It should be noted that the second adapter plate 150 is used to support the air guide rod 410 at the other end of the inner air guide plate 430, so that the air guide assembly 420 can rotate coaxially between the first adapter plate 140 and the second adapter plate 150; wherein, the second adapter plate 150 is detachably connected to the base of the air conditioner 400, that is, both ends of the air conditioner 100 can be separated from the base of the air conditioner 400 for individual maintenance and replacement.

[0053] In one specific embodiment, the air conditioner 400 further includes: an air guide rod 410 and an inner air guide plate 430, the air guide rod 410 being connected to the inner side of the air guide assembly 420, and the inner air guide plate 430 being connected to the air guide rod 410; the drive shaft of the drive device is connected to the end of the air guide rod 410 away from the outer air guide plate.

[0054] It should be noted that the drive device is used to control the rotation of one end of the air guide rod 410, and the inner air guide plate 430 connected to the air guide rod 410 rotates accordingly; the outer air guide plate at the end of the air guide rod 410 can also rotate on its own, thereby expanding the sweeping range.
