Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of air handling equipment technology, specifically to an air guide structure, an indoor unit, and an air handling device. Background Technology

[0002] Air handling equipment includes an air outlet and an air guide plate installed at the air outlet. The air guide plate is rotatably connected to the air outlet, and the airflow direction of the air outlet is changed by changing the angle at which the air guide plate opens relative to the air outlet.

[0003] The air outlet is also equipped with air guide vanes, which can move relative to the air outlet to change the air outlet direction of the air handling equipment. However, this method of adjusting the air supply direction results in a relatively limited air supply area for the air handling equipment. Utility Model Content

[0004] This application provides an air guide structure, an indoor unit, and an air handling device, which can improve the accuracy and controllability of the adjustment components and avoid mechanical failures or airflow instability caused by excessive movement of the air guide blades.

[0005] This application provides an air guide structure, including a mounting bracket, an adjustment assembly, and a limiting member:

[0013] When the first adjustment component and the second adjustment component are in the first position, the length directions of the first adjustment component and the second adjustment component are on the same straight line.

[0014] When the first adjustment component and the second adjustment component are in the second position, the ends of the first adjustment component and the second adjustment component that are close to each other extend forward from the mounting bracket.

[0015] In some possible implementations, the first adjustment component has a first positioning portion that is close to the second adjustment component; the second adjustment component has a second positioning portion that is close to the first adjustment component.

[0016] In the front-to-back direction of the mounting bracket, the distance between the first positioning part and the second positioning part gradually increases.

[0019] In some possible implementations, the adjustment assembly includes a support plate and a plurality of guide vanes disposed on the support plate.

[0020] In some possible implementations, the air guide vanes are disposed on the front side of the support plate.

[0021] In some possible implementations, as the adjustment component moves along a set path between the first position and the second position, the adjustment component moves toward the front center of the mounting bracket.

[0022] In some possible implementations, a third position is provided between the first position and the second position;

[0023] When the adjustment component is in the third position, the limiting member can restrict the movement of the adjustment component, and the length direction of the adjustment component forms a second angle with the length direction of the mounting bracket, the second angle being smaller than the first angle.

[0024] In some possible implementations, the limiting member includes a cooperating second limiting shaft and a second limiting groove, one of the second limiting shaft and the second limiting groove being disposed on the mounting bracket, and the other of the second limiting shaft and the second limiting groove being disposed on the adjusting assembly;

[0025] The second limiting groove has a first limiting part and a second limiting part, the first limiting part being close to the rear side of the mounting bracket and the second limiting part being close to the front side of the mounting bracket; the second limiting shaft can move between the first limiting part and the second limiting part along the extending direction of the second limiting groove;

[0031] When the adjusting component moves from the first position toward the second position, the first limiting shaft moves toward the second end of the first limiting groove; when the adjusting component moves from the second position toward the first position, the first limiting shaft moves toward the first end of the first limiting groove.

[0032] In some possible implementations, in the front-rear direction of the mounting bracket, the first limiting groove is located near the rear side of the mounting bracket; the first limiting groove extends circumferentially along the output shaft of the drive motor.

[0033] In some possible implementations, the second limiting groove is provided with a third limiting part, which is located between the first limiting part and the second limiting part in the extending direction of the second limiting groove.

[0034] When the second limiting shaft is located at the third limiting part, the adjusting component is in the third position, and the cooperating third limiting part and the second limiting shaft can restrict the movement of the adjusting component.

[0035] In some possible implementations, in the length direction of the mounting bracket, the third limiting portion is located near the middle of the mounting bracket relative to the first limiting portion and the second limiting portion.

[0037] In some possible implementations, the indoor unit is provided with an air outlet;

[0038] The air outlet is provided with an air guide plate, which can move relative to the air outlet; the air guide structure is disposed on the inner side of the air guide plate.

[0039] This application provides an air handling device, including the indoor unit described above, or the air guiding structure as described in any of the above embodiments.

[0040] This application provides an air guide structure, an indoor unit, and an air handling device. An adjustment component is movably mounted on a mounting bracket and can move between a first position and a second position. The mobility of the adjustment component allows the air guide structure to switch between different positions, thereby adjusting the air delivery angle. By moving between the first and second positions, the adjustment component can change the angle and direction of the air guide blades, thus affecting the airflow distribution and coverage.

[0041] A limiting element is mounted on the mounting bracket to restrict the movement of the adjustment component along a predetermined path. This limiting element ensures that the adjustment component moves within the predetermined path, preventing it from exceeding a first or second position.

[0067] The accompanying drawings illustrate specific embodiments of this application, which will be described in more detail below. These drawings and descriptions are not intended to limit the scope of the concept in any way, but rather to illustrate the concept of this application to those skilled in the art through reference to particular embodiments. Detailed Implementation

[0068] Exemplary embodiments will now be described in detail, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description relates to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with this application. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with some aspects of this application as detailed in the appended claims. Clearly, the described embodiments are only a portion, not all, of the embodiments of this application. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0069] The air guide structure, indoor unit, and air handling equipment provided in this application are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0070] Air handling equipment, taking air conditioning as an example, typically has an air deflector at the air outlet. The air deflector is connected to the air outlet by rotation, and the airflow direction is adjusted by changing the angle at which it opens relative to the air outlet. The airflow angle adjustment mainly relies on blades, which are generally fixed in a local area of ​​the air outlet and are pulled by a lever to achieve one-dimensional rotation, thereby achieving left-right sweeping or up-down oscillation.

[0071] However, the aforementioned adjustments to the air supply direction and angle have several drawbacks. Firstly, the area of ​​the air supply zone is directly proportional to the area of ​​the air outlet, limiting the adjustable air supply angle and resulting in a smaller air supply coverage area for the air conditioning unit, making it difficult to meet the air supply needs of large areas. Secondly, because the blades are located within the air duct and can only deflect at the same angle, blind spots can easily appear when adjusting the air supply angle, leading to significant indoor temperature differences and greatly affecting comfort.

[0072] Based on the aforementioned technical problems, this application improves the structure of existing air handling equipment. The adjustment component is movably mounted on the mounting bracket and can move between a first position and a second position. The mobility of the adjustment component allows the air guide structure to switch between different positions, thereby adjusting the air delivery angle. By moving between the first and second positions, the adjustment component can change the angle and direction of the air guide blades, thus affecting the airflow distribution and coverage.

[0073] A limiting element is mounted on the mounting bracket to restrict the movement of the adjustment component along a predetermined path. The limiting element ensures that the adjustment component moves within the predetermined path, preventing it from exceeding a first or second position. This limiting effect helps ensure the accuracy and controllability of the adjustment component, avoiding mechanical failure or airflow instability caused by excessive movement.

[0074] Specifically, the air guide structure provided in this application embodiment can control the air delivery angle by adjusting the mobility of the components and the limiting effect of the limiting members, so that the air guide structure can adapt to different room layouts and user needs, which helps to reduce air delivery blind spots and optimize airflow distribution.

[0075] It should be understood that, due to structural improvements in the air handling equipment provided in this application embodiment, the applicant has also made corresponding adjustments to its control method to achieve effective control of the improved equipment. Based on this, the air guiding structure provided in this application embodiment includes: upon receiving a sweeping command, determining the current position of the air guiding structure and controlling the air guide plate accordingly to sweep within a target sweeping range; for example, when the air guiding structure is currently positioned outside the air outlet, a smaller sweeping range can be used, thus reducing collisions and friction between the air guiding structure and components such as the air guide plate, extending the service life of the internal mechanical structure of the equipment; as another example, when the air guiding structure is currently positioned at the air outlet, a larger sweeping range can be used, allowing the large-area sweeping to quickly distribute the air delivered from the air outlet to every corner of the room, helping the air handling equipment to quickly achieve a uniform indoor temperature, shortening the adjustment time, and improving the user's comfort and experience in the space.

[0076] To better explain the air guiding structure provided in this embodiment, the improved structure of the air handling equipment will be described in detail below.

[0077] This application provides an air handling device, which includes, but is not limited to, air conditioning equipment, humidifiers, dehumidifiers, ventilation equipment, heat recovery ventilation systems, air purifiers, and fresh air systems. In this application embodiment, an air conditioning unit is used as an example for description. Since air conditioning equipment can include wall-mounted air conditioners, floor-standing air conditioners, central air conditioners, ducted air conditioners, etc., a wall-mounted air conditioner is specifically used as an example for description below.

[0078] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the specific structure of the air handling equipment provided in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0079] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of an air handling device provided in an embodiment of this application. (Refer to...) Figure 1 As shown, the air handling unit 1 includes a unit body 10, which has an air outlet 11 through which the air handling unit 1 supplies air to the outside. Taking a wall-mounted air conditioner as an example, the air handling unit 1 is installed on an indoor wall, and the air outlet 11 can be located on the front (the side facing away from the wall) of the unit body 10 and near the lower part. For example, the air outlet 11 can be tilted downwards, making the air supply area of ​​the air handling unit 1 more suitable.

[0080] In the main body 10, the air guide plate 20 is a plate-shaped structure installed at the air outlet that can cover the air outlet. In addition, multiple air guide structures 30 are also provided at the air outlet 11 of the main body 10; specifically, the air delivery direction and air delivery angle of the air handling equipment 1 can be adjusted by the air guide plate 20 and the air guide structures 30, so as to realize that the air handling equipment 1 can deliver air flexibly.

[0081] Figure 2 This is a three-dimensional structural diagram of an air guide structure provided in an embodiment of this application. (Refer to...) Figure 2 As shown, the air guide structure 30 includes an adjustment component 100, which may include a support plate 110 and multiple air guide blades 120.

[0082] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 2 The adjustment component 100 can be installed within the air duct of the device body 10. Specifically, the air duct includes an air duct wall. For ease of explanation, this embodiment predefines the wall surface of the air duct near the wall as the basic air duct wall 12. Based on the above, the adjustment component 100 can be installed on the basic air duct wall 12. Correspondingly, the support plate 110 can be installed on the basic air duct wall 12. Furthermore, the surface of the support plate 110 can be parallel to the surface of the basic air duct wall 12. Further, the support plate 110 can also extend along the length direction of the air outlet 11 to enable the adjustment component 100 to cover the air outlet 11. Each guide vane 120 is sequentially arranged along the surface of the support plate 110, and each guide vane 120 is movably connected to the support plate 110.

[0083] In this application, the support plate 110 is located close to the base duct wall 12 to facilitate the installation of the adjustment assembly 100 onto the base duct wall 12. The guide vane 120 can be located on the side of the support plate 110 facing away from the base duct wall 12, with the guide vane 120 facing the air outlet 11 and extending towards the air outlet 11. In this way, the airflow within the duct can pass through the guide vane 120 before being blown out from the air outlet 11, thus guiding the airflow through the guide vane 120.

[0084] Continue to refer to Figure 2 The air guide structure 30 also includes a drive assembly 200, which is connected to the adjustment assembly 100. The drive assembly 200 drives the adjustment assembly 100 to move, thereby enabling the adjustment assembly 100 to adjust the air delivery angle.

[0085] In this application, when the drive assembly 200 drives the adjustment assembly 100 to move, it can drive both the support plate 110 and the guide vanes 120 on the support plate 110 to move. Of course, it can also drive both the support plate 110 and the guide vanes 120 to move simultaneously.

[0086] It is understandable that by driving the movement of each guide vane 120 on the support plate 110 through the drive component 200, the position of each guide vane 120 relative to the support plate 110 can be changed. At this time, the angle between each guide vane 120 and the plate surface of the support plate 110 in a certain direction changes, so that each guide vane 120 deflects towards one side of the air outlet 11, thereby achieving the effect of adjusting the air delivery angle of the air guide structure 30.

[0087] It is also understandable that by driving the support plate 110 to move through the drive component 200, the position of the support plate 110 relative to the air outlet 11 changes, and the distance between the support plate 110 and the basic air duct wall 12 changes. Furthermore, since the guide vanes 120 are mounted on the support plate 110, each guide vane 120 on the support plate 110 also moves along with the support plate 110. Therefore, even if the position of the guide vanes 120 relative to the support plate does not change, the position of the guide vanes 120 relative to the air outlet 11 is changed, thus achieving the effect of adjusting the air delivery angle of the air guiding structure 30.

[0088] Of course, if the position of the support plate 110 relative to the air outlet 11 changes, and the position of the guide vane 120 also changes relative to the support plate 110, this positional change can weaken or even eliminate the limitation of the air duct on the deflection angle of the guide vane 120. This increases the range of deflection angles of the guide vane 120 relative to the support plate 110. When the deflection angle of the support plate 110 relative to the air outlet 11 is adjustable, adjusting the deflection angle of the guide vane 120 relative to the support plate 110, based on changing the deflection angle of the support plate 110, can further increase the range of deflection angles of the guide vane 120 relative to the air outlet 11, thereby increasing the air delivery angle of the air guiding structure 30 and expanding the range of air delivery angles of the air guiding structure 30, allowing the air handling equipment to cover a larger air delivery area.

[0089] The number of air guiding structures 30 in the device body 1 can be two or more. As an optional implementation, there can be two air guiding structures 30, which can be spaced apart along the length of the air outlet 11. Matching the air guiding structures 30, there can also be two drive components 200. Each drive component 200 is connected to an adjustment component 100 in one of the two air guiding structures 30, and each drive component 200 drives the corresponding adjustment component 100 to move.

[0090] In this way, the two regulating components 100 can deliver air to different areas, each with a different air delivery zone, thus expanding the air delivery area of ​​the air guide structure 30 and the air handling unit 1's air delivery coverage. Furthermore, the two regulating components 100 are independently driven by two drive components 200, allowing for independent adjustment of their air delivery zones without any linkage between them. This makes the air handling unit 1 suitable for different indoor layouts and usage needs, allowing users to flexibly adjust the air delivery zones of the two regulating components 100 according to actual conditions. This meets the needs of different environments for different air delivery zones, ensuring that the airflow from the air handling unit 1 is fully and effectively utilized, avoiding waste.

[0091] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram illustrating one driving method of the air guide structure provided in an embodiment of this application. (Refer to...) Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the drive assembly 200 used to drive the adjustment assembly 100 includes a drive motor 210 and a transmission member 220, with the transmission member 220 drivingly connected between the drive motor 210 and the adjustment assembly 100. The drive motor 210 provides driving force and can be electrically connected to a control component to control its operation. The transmission member 220 transmits the power of the drive motor 210 to the adjustment assembly 100, thereby driving the adjustment assembly 100 to move.

[0092] The support plate 110 can be connected to the transmission component 220. The drive assembly 200 transmits driving force to the transmission component 220, which in turn drives the support plate 110 to move. Each guide vane 120 on the support plate 110 can be directly connected to the output end of the drive motor 210, which directly drives the guide vane 120 to rotate. Alternatively, each guide vane 120 can also be connected to the transmission component 220, which drives the guide vane 120 to rotate.

[0093] This configuration utilizes only one drive motor 210 in conjunction with the transmission component 220 to both rotate the guide vanes 120 on the support plate 110 and move the support plate 110 itself. The drive assembly 200 has a simpler structure, simplifying the driving method of the adjustment assembly 100. Furthermore, since the drive assembly 200 contains no other driving components, it occupies less space and is lighter, saving space in the air guide structure 30 and facilitating the layout design of other components in the air handling unit 1, thus contributing to the overall lightweight design of the air handling unit 1. Additionally, by using only one drive motor 210 to drive the adjustment assembly 100, the number of drive motors 210 used is minimized, reducing the energy consumption of the air guide structure 30.

[0094] Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram illustrating another driving method for the air guide structure provided in an embodiment of this application. (Refer to...) Figure 4 As shown, in another embodiment, the drive motor 210 can be two drive motors, namely a first drive motor 2101 and a second drive motor 2102. The first drive motor 2101 is driven by the guide vane 12 and is used to drive the guide vane 12 to swing towards both ends in the extension direction of the support plate 11. The second drive motor 2102 is driven by the support plate 11 and is used to drive the support plate 11 to move.

[0095] By including a first drive motor 2101 and a second drive motor 2102 in the drive motor 210, the air guide vanes 12 and the support plate 11 can be controlled independently, which improves the accuracy of airflow regulation. Users can adjust the air delivery angle range of the air guide vanes 12 or the support plate 11 individually as needed. The combination of the first drive motor 2101 and the second drive motor 2102 provides a wider adjustment range and flexibility to achieve complex airflow patterns to adapt to different room layouts and usage scenarios. By adjusting the angles of the air guide vanes 12 and the support plate 11 separately, a more uniform and effective airflow distribution can be achieved. Precise airflow control can reduce the operating time and energy consumption of the air handling equipment 200 (e.g., air conditioning equipment) using this air guide assembly 100, thereby improving overall energy efficiency. Since the first drive motor 2101 and the second drive motor 2102 are independently set, individual drive motors can be replaced or adjusted as needed during later maintenance without large-scale adjustments to the entire system, thus reducing maintenance costs.

[0096] Reference Figures 6-10 This application provides an air guide structure in which the adjustment component 100 is movably mounted on the mounting bracket 300.

[0097] When the adjustment component 100 is in the first position, the adjustment component 100 is located inside the mounting bracket 300; when the adjustment component 100 is in the second position, at least a portion of the adjustment component 100 extends out of the mounting bracket 300; a limiting member is disposed on the mounting bracket 300, and the limiting member can restrict the adjustment component 100 from moving relative to the mounting bracket 300 along a set path between the first position and the second position.

[0098] Understandably, the mounting bracket 300 is used to fix and support the adjustment assembly 100 and other related components, providing a stable base on which the adjustment assembly 100 can be moved and adjusted.

[0099] The adjustment component 100 is movably mounted on the mounting bracket 300 and can move between a first position and a second position. The mobility of the adjustment component 100 allows the air guide structure to switch between different positions, thereby adjusting the air delivery angle. By moving between the first and second positions, the adjustment component 100 can change the angle and direction of the air guide blades 120, thus affecting the airflow distribution and coverage.

[0100] A limiting element is provided on the mounting bracket 300 to restrict the movement of the adjustment component 100 along a predetermined path. The limiting element ensures that the adjustment component 100 moves along the predetermined path, preventing it from exceeding a first or second position. This limiting effect helps ensure the accuracy and controllability of the adjustment component 100, avoiding mechanical failure or airflow instability caused by excessive movement.

[0101] Specifically, the air guide structure provided in this application embodiment can control the air supply angle by adjusting the mobility of the component 100 and limiting the function of the limiting member, so that the air guide structure can adapt to different room layouts and user needs, which helps to reduce air supply blind spots and optimize airflow distribution.

[0102] In some embodiments, the adjusting component 100 is rotatably disposed on the mounting bracket 300; when the adjusting component 100 is in a first position, the limiting member can restrict the movement of the adjusting component 100, and the length direction of the adjusting component 100 is parallel or approximately parallel to the length direction of the mounting bracket 300; when the adjusting component 100 is in a second position, the limiting member can restrict the movement of the adjusting component 100, and the length direction of the adjusting component 100 forms a first angle with the length direction of the mounting bracket 300, and at least a portion of the adjusting component 100 extends forward out of the mounting bracket 300.

[0103] Understandably, in the first position, the direction of the adjusting component 100 is substantially consistent with the direction of the mounting bracket 300, and the limiting element restricts its further movement. This parallel or near-parallel setting ensures that the air guide structure is in a basic or default state in the first position, which can be used for standard air supply mode. The limiting element ensures the stability of the adjusting component 100 in this position and prevents accidental movement.

[0104] In the second position, the adjusting component 100 forms an angle with the mounting bracket 300, and a portion of the adjusting component 100 extends from the mounting bracket 300. This arrangement allows the adjusting component 100 to change the direction and coverage of the airflow in the second position. By forming the angle, the adjusting component 100 can guide the airflow in a specific direction, increasing the flexibility of air delivery and the coverage area. The limiting element ensures the stability and safety of the adjusting component 100 in this position.

[0105] Specifically, by allowing the adjusting component 100 to rotate and form an angle, the air guide structure can adapt to more complex air supply needs, providing a variety of airflow direction options. Limiters at different positions ensure the stability of the adjusting component 100 in its predetermined position, making airflow direction adjustments more precise and controllable. By forming an angle at a second position and extending the mounting bracket 300, the air guide structure can guide airflow to cover a wider area, reduce blind spots, and improve the uniformity of indoor air distribution.

[0106] Reference Figures 6-10 In some embodiments, the number of adjustment components 100 may be one.

[0107] In some embodiments, the number of adjustment components 100 is multiple, including a first adjustment component 100 and a second adjustment component 100. The multiple adjustment components 100 may also include a third adjustment component and a fourth adjustment component, etc. The number of adjustment components can be determined according to actual needs. The following description uses the first adjustment component and the second adjustment component as examples.

[0108] When the first adjustment component 100 and the second adjustment component 100 are in the first position, the length directions of the first adjustment component 100 and the second adjustment component 100 are on the same straight line; when the first adjustment component 100 and the second adjustment component 100 are in the second position, the ends of the first adjustment component 100 and the second adjustment component 100 that are close to each other extend forward toward the mounting bracket 300.

[0109] In the first position, the first and second adjustment components 100 are aligned along their length, forming a straight line. This alignment provides a basic airflow pattern, which can be used for standard or default airflow requirements. By aligning the two components, the airflow can be distributed along a uniform direction, ensuring airflow stability and consistency in the basic state.

[0110] In the second position, the adjacent ends of the first and second adjustment components 100 extend forward from the mounting bracket 300. This arrangement allows the adjustment components 100 to change the direction and coverage of the airflow in the second position. By allowing the adjacent ends to extend forward, the airflow guide structure can direct the airflow to a specific area, increasing the flexibility and coverage of the air supply. This configuration helps reduce blind spots and provides a more concentrated airflow distribution.

[0111] Specifically, through the coordinated operation of multiple adjustment components 100, the air guide structure can adapt to more complex air supply requirements and provide diverse airflow direction options. The configuration of adjustment components 100 in different positions ensures that the adjustment of airflow direction is more precise and controllable, and can be flexibly adjusted according to specific needs.

[0112] In some embodiments, the first adjustment component 100 has a first positioning portion 113, which is close to the second adjustment component 100; the second adjustment component 100 has a second positioning portion 114, which is close to the first adjustment component 100; the distance between the first positioning portion 113 and the second positioning portion 114 gradually increases in the front-to-back direction of the mounting bracket 300.

[0113] The first adjustment component 100 and the second adjustment component 100 each have a positioning part, which are located on adjacent sides of the two components. The positioning part helps to establish a reference point between the two adjustment components 100, which can ensure that the two components maintain a certain relative positional relationship when moving or adjusting.

[0114] In the front-to-back direction of the mounting bracket 300, the distance between the first positioning part 113 and the second positioning part 114 gradually increases, which can prevent interference between the first adjustment component 100 and the second adjustment component 100 during their movement.

[0115] In some embodiments, when the first adjustment component 100 and the second adjustment component 100 are in the first position, the front sides of the first positioning part 113 and the second positioning part 114 are close to each other; when the first adjustment component 100 and the second adjustment component 100 are in the second position, the rear sides of the first positioning part 113 and the second positioning part 114 are close to each other.

[0116] Understandably, in the first position, the front sides of the first positioning part 113 and the second positioning part 114 are close to each other, which can realize the symmetrical state of the first adjustment component 100 and the second adjustment component 100. Their positions correspond to each other to form a relatively closed structure, which can be used to concentrate airflow or reduce airflow dispersion.

[0117] In the second position, the rear sides of the first positioning part 113 and the second positioning part 114 are close to each other, and the positions of the two are also corresponding to each other, which can change the flow pattern of the airflow, so that the airflow changes its direction or gradually diffuses.

[0118] In some embodiments, the adjustment assembly 100 includes a support plate 110 and a plurality of guide vanes 120 disposed on the support plate 110.

[0119] By setting up the support plate 110, it is only necessary to control the movement of the support plate 110 relative to the mounting bracket 300 to drive the multiple guide vanes 120 to move synchronously, which can reduce the control difficulty of the adjustment component 100.

[0120] By adjusting the angle and position of the blades, precise control of airflow can be achieved to meet different air supply needs. This design helps reduce blind spots in air supply, optimize air distribution, and improve indoor comfort.

[0121] In some embodiments, the air guide vane 120 is disposed on the front side of the support plate 110.

[0122] By placing the air guide vane 120 on the front side of the support plate 110, which is closer to the air outlet area, the air guide vane 120 can guide and adjust the airflow as soon as it leaves the air outlet area, thereby achieving more timely and effective airflow control.

[0123] In addition, the air guide blade 120 is located on the front side of the support plate 110, making it less likely to be blocked by other components. The length of the air guide blade 120 can be set to be longer to improve the air guiding effect.

[0124] In some embodiments, as the adjustment component 100 moves along a set path between a first position and a second position, the adjustment component 100 moves toward the front center of the mounting bracket 300.

[0125] When the regulating component 100 moves along a set path between the first and second positions, its movement towards the front center ensures that the airflow is effectively guided and concentrated as it leaves the outlet area, reducing airflow scattering and dispersion. This configuration helps achieve more focused airflow control, improving the efficiency and effectiveness of air delivery.

[0126] Reference Figures 6-10 In some embodiments, a third position is provided between the first position and the second position; when the adjustment component 100 is in the third position, the limiting member can restrict the movement of the adjustment component 100, and the length direction of the adjustment component 100 forms a second angle with the length direction of the mounting bracket 300, the second angle being smaller than the first angle.

[0127] An intermediate position, namely the third position, is added between the first and second positions. This provides an intermediate state for the adjustment component 100, making airflow control more flexible and precise to adapt to more diverse air supply needs.

[0128] When the adjusting component 100 is in the third position, the limiting member can restrict its further movement, ensuring the stability and safety of the adjusting component 100 in the third position and preventing it from moving accidentally or deviating from the predetermined position.

[0129] In the third position, the angle formed between the adjustment component 100 and the mounting bracket 300 is smaller than the angle in the second position. The fact that the second angle is smaller than the first angle means that in the third position, the adjustment component 100 deflects less. This smaller deflection angle provides a gentler airflow adjustment method, suitable for scenarios requiring slight adjustments to the airflow direction.

[0130] Reference Figure 9 and Figure 10In some possible implementations, the limiting member may include a cooperating second limiting shaft 112 and a second limiting groove 320. One of the second limiting shaft 112 and the second limiting groove 320 may be disposed on the mounting bracket 300, and the other of the second limiting shaft 112 and the second limiting groove 320 may be disposed on the adjusting assembly 100.

[0131] When the adjustment component 100 is in the first position, the adjustment component 100 is in the retracted state, and the support plate 110 and the air guide blade 120 in the adjustment component 100 can be located inside the equipment body, and the equipment body can be in the standby state.

[0132] When the adjustment component 100 is in the second position, the adjustment component 100 is in the extended state. The support plate 110 and the air guide vane 120 in the adjustment component 100 can be located outside the equipment body. The equipment body can be in the working state, so that the equipment body can discharge air through the air guide vane 120 of the adjustment component 100, so as to regulate the air discharge process of the equipment body through the air guide vane 120.

[0133] When the adjusting component 100 moves relative to the mounting bracket 300 between the first position and the second position, the adjusting component 100 can slide to connect with the mounting bracket 300 through the cooperating second limiting shaft 112 and second limiting groove 320, making the movement of the adjusting component 100 relative to the mounting bracket 300 more stable and reducing the possibility of the adjusting component 100 disengaging from the mounting bracket 300.

[0134] For example, the second limiting shaft 112 can be disposed on the adjusting assembly 100, for instance, the second limiting shaft 112 can be disposed on the bottom of the support plate 110. The second limiting groove 320 can be disposed on the mounting bracket 300, so that the second limiting shaft 112 located on the bottom plate of the support plate 110 can pass through the second limiting groove 320, thereby enabling the adjusting assembly 100 to be slidably connected to the mounting bracket 300 through the cooperating second limiting shaft 112 and the second limiting groove 320.

[0135] In some possible implementations, the second limiting groove 320 may have a first limiting portion 321 and a second limiting portion 322, with the first limiting portion 321 located near the rear side of the mounting bracket 300 and the second limiting portion 322 located near the front side of the mounting bracket 300. The second limiting shaft 112 is movable between the first limiting portion 321 and the second limiting portion 322 along the extending direction of the second limiting groove 320.

[0136] For example, when the second limiting shaft 112 is located at the first limiting part 321, the first limiting part 321 can restrict the movement of the second limiting shaft 112, so that the adjusting component 100 can be in the first position. The cooperating first limiting part 321 and second limiting shaft 112 can at least restrict the movement of the adjusting component 100, so that the adjusting component 100 will not detach from the mounting bracket 300.

[0137] When the second limiting shaft 112 is located at the second limiting part 322, the second limiting part 322 can restrict the movement of the second limiting shaft 112, so that the adjusting component 100 can be in the second position. The cooperating second limiting part 322 and the second limiting shaft 112 can at least restrict the movement of the adjusting component 100, so that the adjusting component 100 will not detach from the mounting bracket 300.

[0138] It should be noted that the first limiting part 321 can be located at the first end of the second limiting groove 320. The first limiting part 321 can be set as part of the inner wall of the end of the second limiting groove 320, so that it can abut against the second limiting shaft 112 through part of the inner wall of the first end of the second limiting groove 320, so that the second limiting shaft 112 will not disengage from the second limiting groove 320.

[0139] The second limiting part 322 can be located at the second end of the second limiting groove 320. The second limiting part 322 can be configured as a portion of the inner wall of the end of the second limiting groove 320, so that it can abut against the second limiting shaft 112 through the portion of the inner wall of the second end of the second limiting groove 320, so that the second limiting shaft 112 will not disengage from the second limiting groove 320.

[0140] Reference Figure 9 and Figure 10 In some possible implementations, the limiting member further includes a cooperating first limiting shaft 111 and a first limiting groove 310, one of the first limiting shaft 111 and the first limiting groove 310 being disposed on the mounting bracket 300, and the other of the first limiting shaft 111 and the first limiting groove 310 being disposed on the adjusting assembly 100.

[0141] For example, the first limiting shaft 111 can be disposed at the bottom of the support plate 110. The first limiting groove 310 can be disposed on the mounting bracket 300, so that the first limiting shaft 111 located on the bottom plate of the support plate 110 can pass through the first limiting groove 310, thereby enabling the adjustment component 100 to be slidably connected to the mounting bracket 300 through the cooperating first limiting shaft 111 and the first limiting groove 310.

[0142] In the extending direction of the mounting bracket 300, compared with the first limiting shaft 111 and the first limiting groove 310, the second limiting shaft 112 and the second limiting groove 320 can be closer to the middle of the mounting bracket 300, so that the second limiting shaft 112 and the second limiting groove 320 can better restrict the movement of the adjustment component 100 relative to the mounting bracket 300.

[0143] In some possible implementations, the first end of the first limiting groove 310 may be close to the edge of the mounting bracket 300, and the second end of the first limiting groove 310 may be close to the middle of the mounting bracket 300.

[0144] For example, when the adjusting component 100 moves from the first position to the second position, the first limiting shaft 111 can move toward the second end of the first limiting groove 310; when the adjusting component 100 moves from the second position to the first position, the first limiting shaft 111 can move toward the first end of the first limiting groove 310.

[0145] When the adjustment component 100 moves from the first position to the second position, the first limiting shaft 111 can move toward the second end of the first limiting groove 310, and the second limiting shaft 112 can move toward the second limiting part 322 within the second limiting groove 320, so that the adjustment component 100 can move toward the front middle of the mounting bracket 300, and the air guide vane 120 in the adjustment component 100 can more easily blow air into the room, thereby improving the air outlet effect of the air guide vane 120 in the adjustment component 100.

[0146] When the adjustment component 100 moves from the second position toward the first position, the first limiting shaft 111 can move toward the first end of the first limiting groove 310, and the second limiting shaft 112 can move toward the first limiting part 321 within the second limiting groove 320, so that the adjustment component 100 can move toward the rear side of the mounting bracket 300, thereby realizing the retraction process of the adjustment component 100.

[0147] For example, in the front-rear direction of the mounting bracket 300, the first limiting groove 310 can be close to the rear side of the mounting bracket 300, so that the rotation direction of the adjusting component 100 can be closer to the front side of the mounting bracket 300, and the adjusting component 100 can be more easily extended from the front side of the mounting bracket 300.

[0148] The first limiting groove 310 can extend circumferentially along the output shaft of the drive motor 210, making it easier for the drive motor 210 to control the rotation of the support plate 110 relative to the mounting bracket 300. This reduces the distance between the output shaft of the drive motor 210 and the first limiting shaft 111 in the first limiting groove 310. The drive motor 210 can drive the support plate 110 to rotate relative to the mounting bracket 300 through the transmission component 220, making the arrangement of the transmission component 220 more convenient.

[0149] In some possible implementations, the second limiting groove 320 may also be provided with a third limiting part 323, which is located between the first limiting part 321 and the second limiting part 322 in the extending direction of the second limiting groove 320.

[0150] When the second limiting shaft 112 is located at the third limiting part 323, the adjusting component 100 is in the third position, and the cooperating third limiting part 323 and second limiting shaft 112 can restrict the movement of the adjusting component 100. In the length direction of the mounting bracket 300, the third limiting part 323 is closer to the middle of the mounting bracket 300 than the first limiting part 321 and the second limiting part 322.

[0151] When the adjusting component 100 is in the third position, the limiting member can restrict its further movement, ensuring the stability and safety of the adjusting component 100 in the third position and preventing it from moving accidentally or deviating from the predetermined position.

[0152] In the third position, the angle formed between the adjustment component 100 and the mounting bracket 300 is smaller than the angle in the second position. The fact that the second angle is smaller than the first angle means that in the third position, the adjustment component 100 deflects less. This smaller deflection angle provides a gentler airflow adjustment method, suitable for scenarios requiring slight adjustments to the airflow direction.
