[0031] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0032] The following is combined Figures 1-8 Describes an air guide plate assembly according to an embodiment of the present utility model.

[0033] The air guide plate assembly of this utility model embodiment includes an air guide plate 1, a base 11, and a connecting seat 2. The base 11 is disposed on the air guide plate 1. The connecting seat 2 is engaged with the base 11 and is movable relative to the base 11 along a first direction to disengage from the base 11. The first direction intersects the length direction of the air guide plate 1.

[0034] According to the air guide plate assembly of this utility model embodiment, the connecting seat 2 is used to connect with the drive mechanism on the air conditioner body. By setting the connecting seat 2 to the base 11 for engagement, the air guide plate 1 can be installed on the air conditioner body. At the same time, the connecting seat 2 only needs to move relative to the base 11 in a first direction to disengage the connecting seat 2 from the base 11, thereby realizing the disassembly of the air guide plate 1. The disassembly of the air guide plate 1 is convenient, and the air guide plate 1 can be cleaned independently, making the cleaning of the air guide plate 1 convenient.

[0035] It should be noted that the base 11 and the air guide plate 1 are integrally formed, and the connecting seat 2 is used to connect to the drive mechanism on the air conditioner body. The drive mechanism drives the air guide plate 1 to rotate through the connecting seat 2 to achieve the desired air outlet angle of the air conditioner. In addition, there are two bases 11 on the air guide plate 1, which are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the air guide plate 1, and two corresponding connecting seats 2 are provided.

[0036] In some embodiments, the first direction is orthogonal to the length direction of the air guide plate 1 and intersects with the width direction of the air guide plate 1.

[0037] That is, when the air guide plate 1 and the base 11 move relative to the connecting seat 2 to disassemble the air guide plate 1, the air guide plate 1 does not need to move along its length direction, effectively avoiding interference with the air conditioner body, and the disassembly efficiency of the air guide plate 1 is high.

[0038] In some embodiments, one of the base 11 and the connector 2 is provided with a socket 22 extending in a first direction, and the other of the base 11 and the connector 2 passes through the socket 22.

[0039] The insertion and engagement of the base 11 and the connecting seat 2 along the first direction effectively achieves relative fixation of the two in directions other than the first direction. Combined with the snap-fit ​​of the base 11 and the connecting seat 2, the connection strength of the base 11 and the connecting seat 2 is further guaranteed, and the installation reliability of the air guide plate 1 on the air conditioner body is higher.

[0040] like Figure 2 As shown, the insertion hole 22 is provided on the connecting seat 2, and the connecting seat 2 is sleeved on the base 11 through the insertion hole 22 and abuts against the inner side of the air guide plate 1.

[0041] In some embodiments, the other of the base 11 and the connecting seat 2 is provided with a locking protrusion 116 for abutting against the base 11 and the connecting seat 2.

[0042] That is, one of the base 11 and the connecting seat 2 abuts against the other of the base 11 and the connecting seat 2 to achieve the engagement of the two and the relative fixation of the two in the first direction.

[0043] For example, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the locking protrusion 116 is disposed on the base 11, and the base 11 is engaged with the connecting seat 2 through the locking protrusion 116.

[0044] In some embodiments, the connector 2 is provided with a socket 22 and a stop surface 211, and the latching protrusion 116 is provided on the base 11 and abuts against the stop surface 211.

[0045] The stop surface 211 is located on the side away from the air guide plate 1 in at least a portion of the connecting seat 2. After the base 11 is inserted into the connecting seat 2, the locking protrusion 116 on the base 11 abuts against the stop surface 211 to clamp at least a portion of the connecting seat 2 between the locking protrusion 116 and the air guide plate 1, thereby achieving relative fixation of the connecting seat 2 and the air guide plate 1 in the first direction.

[0046] For example, the two opposite sides of the connecting seat 2 and the air guide plate 1 are matched. After the connecting seat 2 is snapped into the base 11, the two opposite sides of the connecting seat 2 and the air guide plate 1 are in close contact.

[0047] In some embodiments, the connecting seat 2 is provided with a U-shaped groove on the side away from the air guide plate 1, the bottom surface of the U-shaped groove forms a stop surface 211, and the locking protrusion 116 is located in the U-shaped groove.

[0048] The engagement of the protrusion 116 with the U-shaped groove allows the U-shaped groove to limit the protrusion 116 on its two opposite sides along its width direction, further ensuring the relative fixation of the connecting seat 2 and the base 11 in the width direction of the U-shaped groove.

[0049] For example, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the width direction of the U-shaped groove is consistent with the width direction of the air guide plate 1, and the U-shaped groove is opened at one end away from the air guide plate 1.

[0050] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, the connecting seat 2 includes a limiting block 21 forming part of the inner wall surface of the insertion hole 22, and a stop surface 211 is disposed on the side of the limiting block 21 away from the air guide plate 1. The limiting block 21 is located between the locking protrusion 116 and the air guide plate 1 along the first direction.

[0051] When installing the air guide plate 1, the base 11 on the air guide plate 1 is inserted into the insertion hole 22 of the connector 2. During this process, the locking protrusion 116 passes through the insertion hole 22 and is located on the side of the limiting hole away from the air guide plate 1, thereby limiting the limiting block 21 of the connector 2 between the locking protrusion 116 and the air guide plate 1, thus realizing the installation of the air guide plate 1 on the air conditioner body.

[0052] For example, the limiting plate is one of the sidewalls that forms part of the socket 22 in the connector 2.

[0053] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the base 11 is provided with an elastic arm 115, which extends along a first direction. The base 11 is provided with a relief groove 117, which is located on the side of the elastic arm 115 away from the latching protrusion 116.

[0054] Therefore, when the locking protrusion 116 is inserted into the socket 22 along with the base 11 and the elastic arm 115, the elastic arm 115 is first bent toward the relief groove 117 so that the locking protrusion 116 can be inserted into the socket 22 together with the base 11. After the locking protrusion 116 passes through the socket 22, the elastic arm 115 springs back to move the locking protrusion 116 to the side of the limiting block 21 away from the air guide plate 1, so as to realize the locking of the base 11 and the connecting seat 2.

[0055] For example, such as Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the width of the protrusion 116 is equal to the width of the elastic arm 115, and the protrusion 116 is located at the end of the elastic arm 115 away from the air guide plate 1.

[0056] In some embodiments, the base 11 includes a first plate 111 and a second plate 112 arranged at intervals along the length of the air guide plate 1, and an elastic arm 115 is disposed on the side of the first plate 111 away from the air guide plate 1.

[0057] At this time, a clearance groove 117 is formed between the elastic arm 115 and the second plate 112, which facilitates the elastic deformation of the elastic arm 115. At the same time, when the base 11 is inserted into the insertion hole 22, the first plate 111 and the second plate 112 respectively abut against the two opposite sides of the insertion hole 22 along the length direction of the air guide plate 1, and the positioning reliability of the base 11 and the connecting seat 2 in the length direction of the air guide plate 1 is high.

[0058] like Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the first plate 111 and the second plate 112 are parallel to each other, and the sum of the lengths of the first plate 111 and the elastic arm 115 along the first direction is equal to the length of the second plate 112 along the second direction.

[0059] In some embodiments, the base 11 further includes a third plate 113 and a fourth plate 114 spaced apart along the width direction of the air guide plate 1. The third plate 113 and the fourth plate 114 are both connected to the first plate 111 and the second plate 112. The third plate 113 and the fourth plate 114 are spaced apart on opposite sides of the elastic arm 115 along the width direction of the air guide plate 1.

[0060] After the third plate 113 and the fourth plate 114 are inserted into the insertion hole 22, they respectively abut against the two opposite sides of the insertion hole 22 along the width direction of the air guide plate 1, so as to achieve relative fixation of the base 11 and the connecting seat 2 in the width direction of the air guide plate 1. Furthermore, by setting the arrangement of the third plate 113 and the fourth plate 114 and the elastic arm 115 at intervals, it is ensured that the elastic deformation of the elastic arm 115 is not interfered with by the third plate 113 and the fourth plate 114.

[0061] For example, such as Figure 5 As shown, the first plate 111, the third plate 113, the second plate 112 and the fourth plate 114 are connected end to end in sequence.

[0062] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the card protrusion 116 has a guide slope 1161 on the side away from the air guide plate 1. The guide slope 1161 is at an angle to the first direction. The connecting seat 2 can slide with the guide slope 1161 to facilitate the compression of the elastic arm 115 to deform toward the relief groove 117.

[0063] The guide slope 1161 ensures that when the base 11 and the locking protrusion 116 are inserted into the socket 22, the elastic arm 115 can be deformed by the sliding cooperation between the guide slope 1161 and the limiting block 21 of the connecting seat 2, so that the locking protrusion 116 can be smoothly inserted into the socket 22 along with the base 11. The locking efficiency of the base 11 and the connecting seat 2 is high, and the air guide plate 1 is easy to install on the air conditioner body.

[0064] Specifically, the minimum distance between the two opposite sides of the card protrusion 116 and the second plate 112 is less than the width of the socket 22.

[0065] Optionally, such as Figures 1-3 As shown, the insertion hole 22 is open at one end away from the air guide plate 1, and the locking protrusion 116 is exposed at the opening.

[0066] With the protrusion 116 exposed and the opening set, simply press the protrusion 116 towards the second plate 112 to move the protrusion 116 out of the stop surface 211, and the base 11 and the protrusion 116 can be pulled out of the insertion hole 22 together, realizing the disassembly of the air guide plate 1, which has high disassembly efficiency.
