Description

[0001] This application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 202411514814.7, filed on October 28, 2024, entitled "Air Guide Component and Air Handling Equipment", the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field

[0002] 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

[0003] 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.

[0004] 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

[0005] This application provides an air guide structure, an indoor unit, and an air handling device, which can improve the size and installation position of the air guide component, enabling the air guide component provided by this application to adapt to a variety of different sizes of air outlets, and the air guide component itself can also achieve the purpose of free size transformation, thereby reducing the equipment replacement cost and adaptation difficulty.

[0006] This application provides an air guiding structure, which includes a mounting bracket and an air guiding assembly:

[0007] The air guide assembly includes at least two adjustment mechanisms, each of which is movably mounted on the mounting bracket and arranged along a first direction;

[0008] When the air guide assembly is in the first state, the adjustment mechanisms are all located inside the mounting bracket, and the projections of the ends of adjacent adjustment mechanisms that are close to each other in the second direction have an overlapping area; the second direction is perpendicular to the first direction.

[0009] When the air guide assembly is in the second state, in the second direction, at least part of the adjustment mechanism extends out to the outside of the mounting bracket.

[0010] According to one embodiment of this application, the distance between the ends of two adjacent adjusting mechanisms that are far apart from each other is less than the sum of the lengths of the two adjusting mechanisms.

[0011] According to one embodiment of this application, at least two adjustment mechanisms include a first adjustment mechanism and a second adjustment mechanism, both of which are rotatably mounted on the mounting bracket.

[0012] When the air guide assembly is in the first state, the first adjustment mechanism is tilted towards the rear of the mounting bracket relative to the first direction, or is parallel or approximately parallel to the first direction; the second adjustment mechanism is tilted towards the front of the mounting bracket relative to the first direction, or is parallel or approximately parallel to the first direction.

[0013] When the air guide assembly is in the second state, both the first adjustment mechanism and the second adjustment mechanism are tilted towards the front side of the mounting bracket relative to the first direction, and at least part of the structure extends to the outside of the front side of the mounting bracket.

[0014] According to one embodiment provided in this application, the rotation center of the first adjusting mechanism is located at the end away from the second adjusting mechanism, and the rotation center of the second adjusting mechanism is located at the end away from the first adjusting mechanism.

[0015] The line connecting the rotation centers of the first and second adjustment mechanisms is parallel or approximately parallel to the first direction.

[0016] According to one embodiment of this application, when the air guide assembly switches from a first state to a second state, the rotation angle of the first adjustment mechanism is greater than the rotation angle of the second adjustment mechanism.

[0017] According to one embodiment provided in this application, the rotation center of the first adjusting mechanism is located at one end away from the second adjusting mechanism, and the rotation center of the second adjusting mechanism is located at the middle of its length direction.

[0018] When the air guide assembly is in the first state, the length direction of the first adjustment mechanism is parallel or approximately parallel to the first direction, the length direction of the second adjustment mechanism is parallel or approximately parallel to the first direction, and the second adjustment mechanism is located in front of the first adjustment mechanism along the second direction.

[0019] According to one embodiment provided in this application, when the air guide assembly switches from a first state to a second state, the rotation angle of the first adjustment mechanism is equal to or approximately equal to the rotation angle of the second adjustment mechanism.

[0020] According to one embodiment of this application, when the air guide assembly switches from the first state to the second state, the ends of the second adjustment mechanism and the first adjustment mechanism facing each other extend sequentially to the outside of the front side of the mounting bracket.

[0021] According to one embodiment of this application, the first adjusting mechanism has a first positioning part at one end facing the second adjusting mechanism, and the first adjusting mechanism has a second positioning part at one end facing the second adjusting mechanism.

[0022] When the air guide assembly is in the first state, the first positioning part is located behind the second adjustment mechanism along the second direction, and the first positioning part is located in front of the first adjustment mechanism along the second direction.

[0023] When the air guide assembly is in the second state, the first positioning part and the second positioning part are opposite each other, and the distance between the front side of the first positioning part and the second positioning part is greater than the distance between the rear side.

[0024] According to one embodiment of this application, the adjustment mechanism includes a support plate and a plurality of guide vanes disposed on the support plate; the plurality of guide vanes are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the support plate and are rotatably connected to the support plate;

[0025] When the air guide assembly is in the first state, the air guide blades on the adjacent adjustment mechanisms have overlapping air outlet areas in the second direction; when the air guide assembly is in the second state, the air outlet areas of the air guide blades on the adjacent adjustment mechanisms are arranged adjacently in the first direction.

[0026] According to one embodiment of this application, the air guide structure further includes a drive unit, which is disposed on the mounting bracket, and the output end of the drive unit is connected to the support plate.

[0027] This application provides an indoor unit including an evaporator, a condenser, and a compressor, as well as an air guide structure as described above.

[0028] According to one embodiment of this application, the indoor unit is provided with an air outlet;

[0029] The air outlet is equipped with a guide vane to open and close the air outlet; the guide structure is located inside the air outlet; when the air outlet is open, at least a portion of the guide component of the guide structure can extend outside the air outlet.

[0030] An air handling device includes an indoor unit as described above, or an air guiding structure as described above.

[0031] This application provides an air guide structure, an indoor unit, and an air handling device. The air guide assembly is movably mounted on a mounting bracket and can rotate between a first state and a second state. The mobility of the air guide assembly allows the air guide structure to switch between different positions, thereby adjusting the air delivery angle. By moving between the first and second states, the air guide assembly can change the angle and direction of the air guide blades, thereby affecting the distribution and coverage of the airflow.

[0032] Furthermore, this application achieves the goal of freely changing the size of the air guide structure and the air outlet by changing the installation position of the rotation center of the air guide structure, through a dynamically adjustable structural design. This air guide structure allows for the installation of a larger air guide structure within an air outlet of the original size by changing the installation position of the rotation center; the larger air guide structure can cover a wider air outlet area. Moreover, by changing the position of the rotation center, it can accommodate the installation requirements of air outlets of various sizes. This technical solution provides a highly compatible solution for the installation and upgrading of ventilation systems, reducing equipment replacement costs and adaptation difficulties.

[0047] 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

[0048] 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.

[0049] 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.

[0050] In air handling equipment, especially air conditioning equipment, the traditional design of air outlet deflectors is no longer sufficient to meet the modern user's demand for comfortable airflow. Currently, most air conditioners use rotating deflectors, which adjust the airflow direction by changing their opening angle. Meanwhile, the blades, as the core component for adjusting the airflow angle, are usually fixed to a portion of the air outlet and rotate one-dimensionally using a lever to complete the left-right or up-down sweeping motion.

[0051] However, this traditional adjustment method has significant drawbacks. First, due to the strong correlation between the air supply area and the air outlet area, the adjustable air supply angle range is limited, resulting in insufficient air supply coverage and difficulty in meeting the uniform air supply requirements of large spaces. Second, because the blades are concentrated inside the air duct and can only deflect synchronously at the same angle, blind spots are easily formed during adjustment, causing uneven indoor temperature distribution and seriously affecting the user's comfort experience.

[0052] Based on the aforementioned technical problems, this application improves the structure of existing air handling equipment. The adjustment mechanism is movably mounted on the mounting bracket and can rotate between a first state and a second state. The mobility of the air guide assembly 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 air guide assembly can change the angle and direction of the air guide blades, thus affecting the distribution and coverage of the airflow.

[0053] Specifically, the air guide structure provided in this application embodiment can control the air delivery angle through the mobility of the air guide component and the limiting effect of the limiting component, 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.

[0054] It should be understood that, in order to improve the adaptability of the internal air guiding components of the air handling equipment provided in this application embodiment, structural improvements have been made, and 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 accordingly controlling the air guide plate 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, which can reduce 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, so that the large-area sweeping can quickly distribute the air delivered from the air outlet to all corners 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.

[0055] Furthermore, by improving the size and installation position of the air guide component, the air guide component provided in this application can be adapted to various air outlets of different sizes, and the air guide component itself can also achieve the purpose of free size transformation, thereby reducing equipment replacement costs and adaptation difficulties.

[0056] 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.

[0057] 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.

[0058] 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.

[0059] Please refer to the attached document. Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the air guiding structure includes a mounting bracket and an air guiding assembly. The air guiding assembly includes at least two adjusting mechanisms, each movably mounted on the mounting bracket and arranged along a first direction. Taking a wall-mounted air conditioner as an example, the air handling unit is installed on an indoor wall, and the air outlet can be located on the lower part of the front (the side facing away from the wall) of the handling unit. The air guiding structure is installed inside the air outlet, and multiple air guiding structures can be installed inside the air outlet. More specifically, multiple air guiding structures can be flexibly assembled according to the required air coverage area and air delivery angle.

[0060] Reference Appendix Figure 3-10 As shown, when the air guide assembly 100 is in the first state, all adjustment mechanisms are located inside the mounting bracket 200, and the projections of the adjacent adjustment mechanisms at their closest points in the second direction overlap; the second direction is perpendicular to the first direction. It should be noted that the second direction involved in this embodiment is the vertical direction (Y direction), the first direction is the horizontal direction (X direction), and the first state is the tightened, standby state. The air guide assembly 100 is housed inside the air vent. It should be noted that since the sum of the lengths of the first adjustment mechanism 110 and the second adjustment mechanism 120 exceeds the maximum length of the air vent, the first adjustment mechanism 110 and the second adjustment mechanism 120 are arranged one in front and one behind inside the air vent. In the tightened state, the adjacent points of the first adjustment mechanism 110 and the second adjustment mechanism 120 overlap in the Y direction to solve the problem that the size of the air vent cannot accommodate the installation of at least two adjustment mechanisms in a straight line. This design can also improve the space utilization rate inside the air conditioner.

[0061] Furthermore, when the air guide assembly 100 is in the second state, in the second direction, at least a portion of the adjustment mechanism extends outward from the mounting bracket 200. It should be noted that the second state refers to the operating state of the adjustment mechanism. Since the first adjustment mechanism 110 and the second adjustment mechanism 120 employ different motor control methods, either the first adjustment mechanism 110 or the second adjustment mechanism 120 (i.e., the adjustment mechanism installed near the air guide opening) can be moved outward from the mounting bracket 200, i.e., in the air outlet direction of the air guide opening. The adjustment mechanism is mounted on the mounting bracket 200. During operation, the adjustment mechanism can rotate relative to the mounting bracket 200. Notably, the angle through which the adjustment mechanism rotates relative to the mounting bracket 200 can be defined as the air delivery angle. By adjusting the air delivery angle, users can adjust the air delivery direction of the adjustment mechanism as needed, thereby meeting different customer requirements.

[0062] With this configuration, the adjustment mechanism can extend to the outside of the air duct, which can further reduce the area of ​​the adjustment mechanism that is blocked by the side of the air duct, thereby further expanding the air blowing area of ​​the adjustment mechanism so that the air handling equipment using the air guide assembly 100 can cover a larger air blowing area.

[0063] According to one embodiment of this application, the distance between the ends of two adjacent adjusting mechanisms that are far apart from each other is less than the sum of the lengths of the two adjusting mechanisms.

[0064] It should be noted that the air handling equipment provided in this application can be equipped with two or more adjustment mechanisms. The distance between the farthest ends of two adjacent adjustment mechanisms includes the length of the overlap between the two adjustment mechanisms. Since the air outlet size of some air handling equipment (especially wall-mounted air conditioners) is basically controlled within a certain range, if you want to expand the air supply angle and the area covered by the air supply, it is more convenient to expand the size of the adjustment mechanism itself. If the adjustment mechanism is to be placed in the air duct, it is set to overlap and set in front and behind.

[0065] According to one embodiment of the present application, at least two adjustment mechanisms include a first adjustment mechanism 110 and a second adjustment mechanism 120, both of which are rotatably mounted on the mounting bracket 200.

[0066] When the air guide assembly 100 is in the first state, the first adjustment mechanism 110 is tilted toward the rear side of the mounting bracket 200 relative to the first direction, or is parallel or approximately parallel to the first direction; the second adjustment mechanism 120 is tilted toward the front side of the mounting bracket 200 relative to the first direction, or is parallel or approximately parallel to the first direction.

[0067] It should be noted that the first adjustment mechanism 110 and the second adjustment mechanism 120 have at least four installation methods: namely, the first adjustment mechanism 110 is installed at an angle, and the second adjustment mechanism 120 is installed parallel or approximately parallel to the first direction (here, the range of approximately parallel should be defined as the angle between the second adjustment mechanism 120 and the X-axis being between 0° and 10°); the first adjustment mechanism 110 is installed at an angle, and the second adjustment mechanism 120 is also installed at an angle, and the extension direction of the first adjustment mechanism 110 is nearly parallel to the extension direction of the second adjustment mechanism 120; the first adjustment mechanism 110 is installed parallel or approximately parallel to the first direction, and the second adjustment mechanism 120 is installed at an angle; the first adjustment mechanism 110 is installed parallel or approximately parallel to the first direction, and the second adjustment mechanism 120 is installed parallel or approximately parallel to the first direction.

[0068] It is worth mentioning that when there is a large angle between the length directions of the first adjustment mechanism 110 and the second adjustment mechanism 120, the second adjustment mechanism 120 and the first adjustment mechanism 110 will not come into contact with each other, and there will be no interference during the movement.

[0069] When the air guide assembly 100 is in the second state, both the first adjustment mechanism 110 and the second adjustment mechanism 120 are inclined toward the front side of the mounting bracket 200 relative to the first direction, and at least part of the structure extends to the outside of the front side of the mounting bracket 200.

[0070] Please continue to refer to the appendix. Figure 3 and attached Figure 5 As shown, the second state is the working state, in which the first adjusting mechanism 110 and the second adjusting mechanism 120 rotate and have a certain angle relative to the first direction. During operation, the adjusting mechanism closer to the air vent rotates first, and the adjusting mechanism closer to the vent rotates later, while avoiding interference with the other adjusting mechanism.

[0071] In some embodiments, the air guide assembly 100 includes multiple adjustment mechanisms. These multiple adjustment mechanisms can be installed in a front-to-back distribution. When each adjustment mechanism is installed in a manner that is parallel or approximately parallel to each other relative to the first direction, each adjustment mechanism can also rotate synchronously. Installing multiple adjustment mechanisms can more accurately control the air supply area and reduce the range of dead air supply areas.

[0072] According to one embodiment provided in this application, the rotation center 320 of the first adjustment mechanism 110 is located at one end away from the second adjustment mechanism 120, and the rotation center 320 of the second adjustment mechanism 120 is located at one end away from the first adjustment mechanism 110; the line connecting the rotation centers 320 of the first adjustment mechanism 110 and the second adjustment mechanism 120 is parallel or approximately parallel to the first direction.

[0073] In some embodiments, the rotation centers 320 of the first adjustment mechanism 110 and the second adjustment mechanism 120 are both located at one end near the inner wall of the air handling equipment, and the rotation centers 320 of the first adjustment mechanism 110 and the second adjustment mechanism 120 are arranged side by side on a straight line and inside the air duct. It should be noted that the above text only indicates that the rotation centers 320 of the first adjustment mechanism 110 and the second adjustment mechanism 120 are located on the same horizontal line. The first adjustment mechanism 110 and the second adjustment mechanism 120 can still be installed in an inclined or parallel manner.

[0074] It should be noted that, since the adjusting mechanism itself has a certain width, the rotation center 320 can be installed at a higher or lower position on the adjusting mechanism, as long as the line connecting the two rotation centers 320 is parallel or approximately parallel to the first direction. In one possible implementation, based on the above installation method, parts of the first adjusting mechanism 110 and the second adjusting mechanism 120 need to be embedded inside the air handling equipment and have a certain length from the air duct to ensure that when the adjusting mechanism is exposed outside the air duct during rotation, interference between the adjusting mechanism itself and the wall of the air handling equipment can be avoided.

[0075] According to one embodiment provided in this application, when the air guide assembly 100 switches from a first state to a second state, the rotation angle of the first adjustment mechanism 110 is greater than the rotation angle of the second adjustment mechanism 120.

[0076] It should be noted that the installation scheme here is such that the first adjustment mechanism 110 is set in a relatively inward position and the first adjustment mechanism 110 needs to be set at an angle, while the second adjustment mechanism 120 is set in a relatively outward position and is set parallel or approximately parallel to the first direction. When the air guide assembly 100 set in this way switches from the standby state to the working state, the rotation angle of the first adjustment mechanism 110 is greater than the rotation angle of the second adjustment mechanism 120.

[0077] It should be noted that, with the adjustment mechanism set up in this way, since the first adjustment mechanism 110 and the second adjustment mechanism 120 have overlapping areas in the second direction, the second adjustment mechanism 120 needs to rotate first in order to avoid interference between the first adjustment mechanism 110 and the second adjustment mechanism 120 when rotating.

[0078] According to one embodiment provided in this application, the rotation center 320 of the first adjustment mechanism 110 is located at one end away from the second adjustment mechanism 120, and the rotation center 320 of the second adjustment mechanism 120 is located in the middle of its length direction; when the air guide assembly 100 is in the first state, the length direction of the first adjustment mechanism 110 is parallel or approximately parallel to the first direction, the length direction of the second adjustment mechanism 120 is parallel or approximately parallel to the first direction, and the second adjustment mechanism 120 is located in front of the first adjustment mechanism 110 along the second direction.

[0079] In some possible implementations, the rotation center 320 of the second adjustment mechanism 120 is located at the middle of its length. This installation method requires the second adjustment mechanism 120 to be positioned in front of the first adjustment mechanism 110. Since the adjustment mechanism itself needs to be partially exposed outside the air duct when in its second state, the second adjustment mechanism 120, due to its length limitation, can only be installed on the side closer to the air duct, while the first adjustment mechanism 110 is located on the side farther from the air duct, and its rotation center 320 is located at the end farther from the second adjustment mechanism 120. It is worth noting that with this installation method, the rotation centers 320 of the first and second adjustment mechanisms 110 are not on the same horizontal line. When the first and second adjustment mechanisms 110 are in their first state, they have overlapping areas in the second direction, allowing adjustment mechanisms of various sizes to be installed within the air handling equipment, thus improving the practicality of this solution.

[0080] It should be noted that the above installation method, by changing the position of the rotation center 320, allows for the installation of a larger air guide structure within the original size air outlet. This larger air guide structure can cover a wider air outlet area. Furthermore, by changing the position of the rotation center 320, it can accommodate the installation requirements of air outlets of various sizes. This technical solution provides a highly compatible solution for the installation and upgrading of ventilation systems, reducing equipment replacement costs and adaptation difficulties.

[0081] According to one embodiment provided in this application, when the air guide assembly 100 switches from a first state to a second state, the rotation angle of the first adjustment mechanism 110 is equal to or approximately equal to the rotation angle of the second adjustment mechanism 120.

[0082] It should be noted that, since the first adjustment mechanism 110 and the second adjustment mechanism 120 are both installed in a manner parallel or approximately parallel to the first direction, when switching from the first state to the second state, the angles through which the first adjustment mechanism 110 and the second adjustment mechanism 120 rotate should be equal or approximately equal. It should be noted that the angle of rotation of the adjustment mechanism from the first state to the second state is only related to the way the adjustment mechanism itself is set. Only when the first adjustment mechanism 110 and the second adjustment mechanism 120 are both set in a manner parallel or approximately parallel to the first direction will the angles through which they rotate from the first state to the second state be equal or approximately equal.

[0083] In some possible embodiments, provided that the air handling equipment can accommodate multiple sets of air guide components 100, the rotation center 320 on the adjustment mechanism can be set at multiple positions from the far end of another adjustment mechanism to the middle of this adjustment mechanism, thereby maximizing the space utilization inside the air handling equipment and being able to adapt to more sizes of air guide components 100 to meet the air supply needs in different environmental situations.

[0084] According to one embodiment of this application, when the air guide assembly 100 switches from a first state to a second state, the ends of the second adjustment mechanism 120 and the first adjustment mechanism 110 facing each other extend sequentially to the outside of the front side of the mounting bracket 200.

[0085] It should be noted that the installation scheme used in this embodiment is that the first adjustment mechanism 110 is not installed parallel or approximately parallel to the second adjustment mechanism 120 relative to the first direction. Therefore, the second adjustment mechanism 120 must move first. Otherwise, the first adjustment mechanism 110 will collide and interfere with the second adjustment mechanism 120 when it rotates, which may easily damage the second adjustment mechanism 120.

[0086] According to one embodiment provided in this application, the first adjustment mechanism 110 has a first positioning part 130 at one end facing the second adjustment mechanism 120, and the first adjustment mechanism 110 has a second positioning part 140 at one end facing the second adjustment mechanism 120.

[0087] It should be noted that when the air guide assembly 100 is in the first state, the first positioning part 130 is located on the rear side of the second adjustment mechanism 120 along the second direction, and the first positioning part 130 is located on the front side of the first adjustment mechanism 110 along the second direction.

[0088] When the air guide assembly 100 is in the second state, the first positioning part 130 and the second positioning part 140 are opposite each other, and the distance between the front side of the first positioning part 130 and the second positioning part 140 is greater than the distance between the rear side.

[0089] It should be noted that the first adjustment mechanism 110 and the second adjustment mechanism 120 each have a positioning part, which are located on the adjacent side of the two components. The positioning part helps to establish a reference point between the two air guide components 100, which can ensure that the two components maintain a certain relative positional relationship when moving or adjusting.

[0090] In the front-to-back direction of the mounting bracket 200, the distance between the first positioning part 130 and the second positioning part 140 gradually increases, which can prevent interference between the first adjustment mechanism 110 and the second adjustment mechanism 120 during their operation.

[0091] In some embodiments, when the first adjustment mechanism 110 and the second adjustment mechanism 120 are in the first position, the front sides of the first positioning part 130 and the second positioning part 140 are close to each other; when the first adjustment mechanism 110 and the second adjustment mechanism 120 are in the second position, the rear sides of the first positioning part 130 and the second positioning part 140 are close to each other.

[0092] Understandably, in the first state, the front sides of the first positioning part 130 and the second positioning part 140 are close to each other, which can realize the symmetrical state of the first air guide assembly 100 and the second air guide assembly 100. Their positions correspond to each other to form a relatively closed structure, which can be used to concentrate airflow or reduce airflow dispersion.

[0093] In the second state, the rear sides of the first positioning part 130 and the second positioning part 140 are close to each other, and their positions correspond to each other, which can change the flow pattern of the airflow, causing the airflow to change direction or gradually diffuse.

[0094] According to one embodiment of this application, the adjustment mechanism includes a support plate 300 and a plurality of guide vanes 310 disposed on the support plate 300; the plurality of guide vanes 310 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the support plate 300 and are rotatably connected to the support plate 300.

[0095] It should be noted that in the design of the air guide assembly 100, the air guide blades 310 are easily controlled by the cooperation between the support plate 300 and the mounting bracket 200. The user only needs to move the support plate 300 relative to the mounting bracket 200 to drive multiple air guide blades 310 to move synchronously, effectively reducing the operational complexity and control difficulty of the air guide assembly 100.

[0096] By precisely adjusting the angle and position of the 310° guide vanes, airflow can be finely controlled to meet the air supply needs under different operating conditions. This design effectively reduces blind spots in air supply, optimizes indoor air distribution, and improves user comfort.

[0097] In some embodiments, the guide vanes 310 are mounted on the front side of the support plate 300. This mounting method brings the guide vanes 310 closer to the air outlet area, allowing for guidance and adjustment of the airflow as soon as it leaves the outlet, significantly improving the timeliness and effectiveness of airflow control. Simultaneously, because they are located on the front side of the support plate 300, the guide vanes 310 are less likely to be obstructed by other components, allowing for an appropriate increase in blade length during design, thereby further enhancing the airflow guiding effect.

[0098] When the air guide assembly 100 is in the first state, the air guide blades 310 on the adjacent adjustment mechanism have overlapping air outlet areas in the second direction; when the air guide assembly 100 is in the second state, the air outlet areas of the air guide blades 310 on the adjacent adjustment mechanism are arranged adjacently in the first direction.

[0099] It should be noted that when the air guide assembly 100 is in the first state, the air guide blades 310 are also in the first state, which is a closed state, and each air guide blade 310 is arranged in a parallel or approximately parallel manner with the first direction. When the air guide assembly 100 is in the second state, the air guide blades 310 are in the second state, which is an open state, and each air guide blade 310 is arranged in a parallel or approximately parallel manner with the second direction.

[0100] According to one embodiment of this application, the air guide structure further includes a drive unit, which is disposed on the mounting bracket 200, and the output end of the drive unit is connected to the support plate 300.

[0101] It should be noted that the drive unit can directly control the movement of the first adjustment mechanism 110 and the second adjustment mechanism 120, and the drive unit can also control the air guide vanes 310 installed on the support plate 300 to achieve precise control of the air delivery area.
