Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air conditioner technology, and in particular to an air guide plate assembly for an air conditioner and an indoor unit for an air conditioner. Background Technology

[0002] An air conditioner indoor unit typically includes an air outlet and a guide plate. The guide plate is rotatably mounted at the air outlet to open or close it. When heat-exchanging airflow is blown out of the outlet, condensation may form on the guide plate due to temperature differences. To prevent condensation from forming on the guide plate, some air conditioner indoor units have an inner lining plate on the inside of the guide plate. This inner lining plate serves to insulate the heat and strengthen the guide plate structure. However, the direct contact between the inner lining plate and the guide plate results in significant friction between them, causing the guide plate to become stuck after bending and difficult to return to its original shape.

[0015] Optionally, both the guide plate and the reinforcing member are vertically arranged;

[0016] The lower end of the inner surface of the guide plate is provided with a baffle plate and a water outlet. The baffle plate is inclined, with the higher end of the baffle plate near the edge of the guide plate and the lower end near the rotation axis of the guide plate. The water outlet is located at the lower end of the baffle plate and communicates with the lower space of the guide plate.

[0017] The water baffle extends beyond the reinforcing member in a direction away from the guide plate.

[0018] Optionally, the air guide plate assembly further includes a shaft mounting bracket disposed at the lower end of the inner surface of the guide plate; the shaft mounting bracket includes:

[0019] The mounting plate is horizontally positioned and extends from the lower end of the inner surface of the guide plate, and a pivot hole is formed on the mounting plate.

[0024] Multiple pivot seats are provided, and the reinforcing member is provided with multiple through holes. Each pivot seat is installed on the inner surface of the guide plate and extends out of the through hole.

[0025] Multiple rotating shafts, each of which is mounted on a rotating shaft seat and located on the side of the reinforcing member opposite to the guide plate; the lowermost rotating shaft passes through the rotating shaft through hole and the rotating cylinder.

[0032] The air guide plate assembly described in any of the above embodiments is rotatably mounted at the air outlet.

[0033] In the air guide plate assembly and indoor unit of this utility model, the air guide plate assembly includes a guide plate, a reinforcing member, and multiple supporting ribs. The reinforcing member is located on the inner side of the guide plate, and the multiple supporting ribs are located between the reinforcing member and the guide plate. The supporting ribs can be set on the inner surface of the guide plate or on the reinforcing member, or some supporting ribs can be on the reinforcing member and some on the inner surface of the guide plate. If the guide plate and the reinforcing member are in direct contact, that is, the two surfaces are in direct contact, it will cause excessive friction between the reinforcing member and the guide plate. After the guide plate is bent, the inner lining will get stuck with the guide plate, thus preventing the guide plate from returning to its original shape. By setting the supporting ribs, the supporting ribs contact the guide plate, that is, point-to-surface contact. The contact area between the supporting ribs and the guide plate is small, so the friction between the supporting member and the guide plate is small, avoiding the inner lining getting stuck with the guide plate after bending, thus allowing the guide plate to return to its original shape after bending.

[0034] Furthermore, when the air conditioner is running, condensation may form on the inner surface of the guide plate as the heat exchange airflow passes through it. Due to the support ribs, the support ribs are not in complete contact with the inner surface of the guide plate; that is, there is a gap between the reinforcement and the inner surface of the guide plate. The condensation collects and forms a water flow that flows out along the inner surface of the guide plate, facilitating the drainage of the condensation.

[0050] Figure 1This is a schematic structural diagram of an air guide plate assembly according to an embodiment of the present invention, as shown below. Figure 1 As shown, and with reference Figures 2 to 9 This utility model provides an air guide plate assembly 100 for an air conditioner, including a guide plate 10, a reinforcing member 20, and a plurality of supporting ribs 30. The reinforcing member 20 is disposed on the inner side of the guide plate 10. Each supporting rib 30 extends along the length direction of the guide plate 10, and the plurality of supporting ribs 30 are spaced apart along the width direction of the guide plate 10. The supporting ribs 30 are disposed between the guide plate 10 and the reinforcing member 20 to separate the inner surface of the guide plate 10 and the reinforcing member 20. The supporting ribs 30 are disposed on the inner surface of the guide plate 10, or on the reinforcing member 20, or some of the supporting ribs 30 are disposed on the inner surface of the guide plate 10 and the rest are disposed on the reinforcing member 20.

[0051] In this embodiment, the air guide plate assembly 100 includes a guide plate 10, a reinforcing member 20, and a plurality of supporting ribs 30. The reinforcing member 20 is located inside the guide plate 10, and the plurality of supporting ribs 30 are located between the reinforcing member 20 and the guide plate 10. The supporting ribs 30 can be disposed on the inner surface of the guide plate 10 or on the reinforcing member 20, or some of the supporting ribs 30 can be on the reinforcing member 20 and some can be on the inner surface of the guide plate 10. If the guide plate 10 and the reinforcing member 20 are in direct contact, i.e., the two surfaces are in direct contact, it will cause excessive friction between the reinforcing member 20 and the guide plate 10. After the guide plate 10 is bent, the inner lining will get stuck with the guide plate 10, which will prevent the guide plate 10 from returning to its original shape. By setting the support ribs 30, the support ribs 30 contact the guide plate 10, that is, point-to-surface contact. The contact area between the support ribs 30 and the guide plate 10 is small, so that the friction between the support and the guide plate 10 is small, which prevents the inner lining from getting stuck with the guide plate 10 after bending, and thus allows the guide plate 10 to return to its original shape after bending.

[0052] Furthermore, when the air conditioner is running, condensation may form on the inner surface of the guide plate 10 as the heat exchange airflow passes through it. Due to the arrangement of the support ribs 30, the support ribs 30 are not in complete contact with the inner surface of the guide plate 10, that is, there is a gap between the reinforcing member 20 and the inner surface of the guide plate 10. After the condensation collects and forms a water flow, it flows out along the inner surface of the guide plate 10, which facilitates the discharge of condensation.

[0053] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 2 As shown, the reinforcing member 20 is provided with a plurality of through holes 210 extending along the length direction of the guide plate 10 and penetrating the reinforcing member 20.

[0054] In this embodiment, the reinforcing member 20 is provided with multiple through holes 210, which extend along the length of the guide plate 10 and penetrate the reinforcing member 20. When the heat exchange airflow passes through the reinforcing member 20, the presence of air inside the through holes 210 reduces the heat conduction efficiency of the reinforcing member 20, thereby minimizing heat loss and preventing any impact on the airflow performance of the air conditioner. Furthermore, the through holes 210 in the reinforcing member 20 reduce the temperature change on the outer surface of the guide plate 10, mitigating the formation of condensate on the outer surface of the guide plate 10.

[0055] Furthermore, when the air conditioner is running, condensation may form on the inner wall of the reinforcing member 20 as the heat exchange airflow passes through it. Due to the through hole 210, the condensation collects and flows out along the inner wall of the reinforcing member 20, facilitating the drainage of the condensation.

[0056] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 2 As shown, the supporting rib 30 is disposed on the reinforcing member 20. The reinforcing member 20 is made of a composite material containing 35% glass fiber and is formed by extrusion.

[0057] In this embodiment, the composite material containing 35% glass fiber is a material composed of 35% glass fiber and the matrix material. Glass fiber itself has high strength. Adding 35% glass fiber to the matrix material results in a composite material with good tensile, flexural, and compressive strength, thereby improving the tensile and flexural properties of the reinforcing member 20 and enhancing the mechanical strength of the air guide plate assembly 100. The composite material containing 35% glass fiber has a low thermal conductivity, giving the reinforcing member 20 good heat insulation properties, minimizing heat loss from the heat exchange airflow, thus preventing any impact on the airflow performance of the air conditioner. It also reduces temperature changes on the outer surface of the guide plate 10, mitigating the formation of condensate on its outer surface. Furthermore, the composite material containing 35% glass fiber has a low coefficient of thermal expansion, making the reinforcing member 20 less prone to deformation under temperature changes, further enhancing the mechanical strength of the air guide plate assembly 100.

[0058] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 2 As shown, the reinforcing member 20 includes an outer reinforcing plate 220, an inner reinforcing plate 230, and a plurality of spacers 240. The inner reinforcing plate 230 is disposed between the outer reinforcing plate 220 and the guide plate 10. The plurality of spacers 240 are disposed between the inner reinforcing plate 230 and the outer reinforcing plate 220 to form a plurality of through holes 210 extending along the width direction of the guide plate 10 with the outer reinforcing plate 220 and the inner reinforcing plate 230.

[0059] In this embodiment, the reinforcing plate includes an outer reinforcing plate 220, an inner reinforcing plate 230, and a plurality of spacers 240 located between them. The spacers 240 extend along the length of the guide plate 10, such that the outer reinforcing plate 220, the inner reinforcing plate 230, and the spacers 240 form a through hole 210. The reinforcing member 20 has a simple structure, and its cross-section is an I-shaped hollow structure, which saves processing materials while ensuring the mechanical strength of the spacers 240.

[0060] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 3 As shown, both the guide plate 10 and the reinforcing member 20 are vertically arranged. A baffle plate 110 and a water outlet 120 are provided at the lower end of the inner surface of the guide plate 10. The baffle plate 110 is inclined, with its higher end near the edge of the guide plate 10 and its lower end near the rotation axis 520 of the guide plate 10. The water outlet 120 is located at the lower end of the baffle plate 110 and connects to the lower space of the guide plate 10. The baffle plate 110 extends beyond the reinforcing member 20 in a direction away from the guide plate 10.

[0061] In this embodiment, the guide plate 10 and the reinforcing member 20 are vertically arranged. A baffle plate 110 and a water outlet 120 are provided at the bottom of the guide plate 10. The baffle plate 110 is inclined downwards from the edge to the center of the guide plate 10, and the water outlet 120 is located at the lower end of the baffle plate 110. After condensation forms on the inner surface of the guide plate 10 or the reinforcing member 20, the condensation flows downwards along the inner surface of the guide plate 10 or the surface of the reinforcing member 20. When it reaches the lower end, the condensation flows downwards inclinedly along the upper surface of the baffle plate 110, and finally flows out from the water outlet 120. The baffle plate 110 extends beyond the reinforcing member 20 in a direction away from the guide plate 10 to prevent condensation from dripping directly into the room. The arrangement of the baffle plate 110 and the air outlet facilitates the discharge of condensation from the air guide plate assembly 100.

[0062] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 3 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the air guide plate assembly 100 also includes a rotating shaft 520 mounting bracket 40, which is disposed at the lower end of the inner surface of the guide plate 10. The rotating shaft 520 mounting bracket 40 includes a mounting plate 410, a rotating cylinder 430, an outer ring 440, and a rib 450. The mounting plate 410 is horizontally disposed and extends from the lower end of the inner surface of the guide plate 10, and a rotating shaft through hole 420 is formed on the mounting plate 410. The rotating cylinder 430 extends downward from the edge of the rotating shaft through hole 420. The outer ring 440 extends downward from the mounting plate 410, is located outside the rotating cylinder 430, and is coaxially disposed with the rotating cylinder 430. A baffle plate 110 is located on one side of the outer ring 440. The rib 450 connects the lower ends of the outer ring 440, the mounting plate 410, and the baffle plate 110, and the rib 450 is spaced apart from the inner surface of the guide plate 10 to form a water outlet 120.

[0063] In this embodiment, the air guide plate assembly 100 further includes a rotating shaft 520 mounting bracket 40, which is located at the lower end of the inner surface of the guide plate 10, i.e., below the through hole 210. The rotating shaft 520 mounting bracket 40 includes a mounting plate 410, on which a rotating shaft through hole 420 is provided. A rotating cylinder 430 extends downward from the edge of the rotating shaft through hole 420, and an outer ring 440 extends downward from the mounting plate 410. The outer ring 440 is located outside the rotating cylinder 430 and is coaxially arranged with the rotating cylinder 430. A rib 450 is connected to the outer ring 440, and the rib 450 and the inner surface of the guide plate 10 are spaced apart to form a water outlet 120. Condensate flows downward from the inner surface of the guide plate 10 and the reinforcing member 20, and some of the condensate drips onto the baffle plate 110 and then flows out from the water outlet 120. Another portion of the condensate drips directly onto the mounting bracket 40 of the shaft 520. Due to the mounting plate 410 and the outer ring 440, the condensate is prevented from dripping from the top onto the shaft 520 below, thus preventing damage to the shaft 520.

[0064] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the air guide plate assembly 100 also includes multiple pivot seats 510 and multiple pivots 520. The reinforcing member 20 has multiple through holes 90. Each pivot seat 510 is mounted on the inner surface of the guide plate 10 and extends through the through hole 90. Each pivot 520 is mounted on a pivot seat 510 and is located on the side of the reinforcing member 20 opposite to the guide plate 10. The lowermost pivot 520 passes through the pivot through hole 420 and the rotating cylinder 430.

[0065] In this embodiment, a plurality of pivot seats 510 are provided on the inner surface of the guide plate 10, and a plurality of through holes 90 are provided on the reinforcing member 20, through which the pivot seats 510 pass. A pivot 520 is mounted on each pivot seat 510, with the lowest pivot 520 passing through the pivot through hole 420 and the rotating cylinder 430. The multiple pivots 520 drive the air guide plate assembly 100 to rotate, preventing the pivots 520 from breaking due to uneven force during the rotation of the air guide plate assembly 100, thus extending the service life of the pivots 520 and improving the operational stability of the air guide plate assembly 100.

[0066] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 8 As shown, each pivot seat 510 is movable up and down. The upper end of the inner surface of the guide plate 10 is provided with a snap-fit ​​hole 60, which is configured to snap the drive shaft 80 and cooperate with the drive shaft 80 to drive the guide plate 10 to rotate.

[0067] In this embodiment, a snap-fit ​​hole 60 is provided at the upper end of the guide plate 10. The snap-fit ​​hole 60 is located inside the guide plate 10, and the drive shaft 80 is snapped into the snap-fit ​​hole 60. When the drive shaft 80 rotates, its circumferential surface abuts against the wall of the snap-fit ​​hole 60, thereby driving the air guide plate assembly 100 to rotate. The installation structure of the drive shaft 80 and the air guide plate assembly 100 is simple, and the installation method is simple and convenient, making it easy for users to install or remove the drive shaft 80.

[0068] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, a first snap-fit ​​structure 130 is provided on one side of the inner surface of the guide plate 10, and a second snap-fit ​​structure 140 is provided on the other side of the inner surface of the guide plate 10. The reinforcing member 20 is installed on the guide plate 10 through the first snap-fit ​​structure 130 and the second snap-fit ​​structure 140. Two positioning protrusions 70 are provided on the inner surface of the guide plate 10, and the two positioning protrusions 70 are arranged sequentially along the width direction of the guide plate 10. The two positioning protrusions 70 are inserted into a through hole 90, and respectively contact and abut against the upper and lower edges of the through hole 90.

[0069] In this embodiment, a first snap-fit ​​structure 130 is provided on one side of the guide plate 10, and a second snap-fit ​​structure 140 is provided on the other side. The two edges of the reinforcing member 20 are snapped into the first snap-fit ​​structure 130 and the second snap-fit ​​structure 140 respectively, thereby realizing the installation of the guide plate 10 and the reinforcing member 20. When assembling the guide plate 10 and the reinforcing member 20, the reinforcing member 20 is placed inside the guide plate 10. After the positioning protrusion 70 is positioned by engaging with the upper and lower edges of the through hole 90, the reinforcing member 20 is pressed to bring it close to the guide plate 10. Under pressure, one edge of the reinforcing member 20 snaps into the first snap-fit ​​structure 130, and the other edge snaps into the second snap-fit ​​structure 140, completing the assembly of the reinforcing member 20 and the guide plate 10. The installation structure of the guide plate 10 and the reinforcing member 20 is simple, and the installation method and process are simple and convenient, facilitating the installation of the guide plate 10 and the reinforcing member 20.

[0070] Furthermore, the inner surface of the guide plate 10 is provided with two positioning protrusions 70. When installing the guide plate 10 and the reinforcing member 20, the positioning protrusions 70 are inserted into the through hole 90. The upper positioning protrusion 70 contacts and abuts against the upper edge of the through hole 90, and the lower positioning protrusion 70 contacts and abuts against the lower edge of the through hole 90. The positioning protrusions 70 provide positioning during the installation of the guide plate 10 and the reinforcing member 20, further facilitating their installation. The positioning structure and method are simple and easy to manufacture.

[0071] This utility model embodiment also provides an indoor unit 200 for an air conditioner, such as... Figure 9As shown, it includes an air outlet and a guide vane assembly 100 as described in any of the above embodiments, the guide vane assembly 100 being rotatably mounted at the air outlet.

[0072] In this embodiment, the indoor unit 200 of the air conditioner includes an air guide plate assembly 100 and an air outlet. The air guide plate assembly 100 is rotatably disposed at the air outlet to close or open the air outlet. When the indoor unit 200 of the air conditioner is running, the air guide plate assembly 100 opens the air outlet, and the heat exchange airflow is blown outward from the air outlet. A supporting rib 30 is provided between the guide plate 10 and the reinforcing member 20 of the air guide plate assembly 100, so that the friction between the supporting member and the guide plate 10 is reduced, preventing the inner lining from getting stuck with the guide plate 10 after bending, thereby allowing the guide plate 10 to return to its original shape after bending and improving the service life of the air guide plate assembly 100.

[0073] Furthermore, the air guide plate assembly 100 has internal gaps to facilitate the drainage of condensate formed inside the air guide plate.

[0074] Therefore, those skilled in the art should recognize that although many exemplary embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described in detail herein, many other variations or modifications conforming to the principles of the present invention can be directly determined or derived from the disclosure of the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
