Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of air handling equipment, and more particularly to air guide structures, indoor units, and air handling equipment. Background Technology

[0002] The air handling unit includes an indoor unit, and the air outlet of the indoor unit is equipped with an air guide plate. The air guide plate is rotatably connected to the air outlet, so that the airflow direction of the air outlet can be changed by changing the opening angle of the air guide plate 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 equipment to solve the problems of small movement range of the air guide blades and limited air delivery area of ​​the air handling equipment.

[0024] In some possible implementations, the air guide structure further includes a second transmission assembly located within the receiving cavity;

[0025] The input end of the second transmission component is connected to the second motor, and the output end of the second transmission component is connected to the guide vane.

[0026] In some possible implementations, the number of the air guide blades is multiple, and the multiple air guide blades are arranged at intervals along the first direction;

[0059] 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

[0060] 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.

[0061] 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.

[0062] As described in the background section, the air guide plate is rotatably connected to the air outlet of the indoor unit, thereby changing the airflow direction of the air outlet by altering the opening angle of the air guide plate relative to the air outlet. Air guide vanes may also be installed at the air outlet, and these vanes can move relative to the air outlet, thereby changing the airflow direction of the air handling equipment.

[0063] However, since the air guide vanes are usually rotated and installed at the air outlet, and the rotation angle of the air guide vanes relative to the air outlet is small, the change in the angle of the air guide vanes with respect to the air outlet direction is small, resulting in poor air guiding effect of the air guide vanes. This method of adjusting the air supply direction leads to a relatively limited air supply area of ​​the air handling equipment.

[0064] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this application provides an air guiding structure, an indoor unit, and an air handling device. The air guiding structure includes an adjustment component, a first motor, and a second motor. The following description uses an example where the air guiding structure includes a mounting bracket: the mounting bracket is installed within the housing of the indoor unit and can be located near the air outlet of the indoor unit. The adjustment component includes a support member and air guide blades. The support member is movably mounted on the mounting bracket, and the air guide blades are movably mounted on the support member, thereby allowing the support member to move relative to the mounting bracket and the air guide blades to move relative to the support member.

[0065] A first motor is mounted on the mounting bracket and is used at least to drive the carrier component to move relative to the mounting bracket, thereby adjusting the position of the carrier component. A second motor is mounted on the mounting bracket and is used at least to drive the guide vanes to move relative to the carrier component, thereby adjusting the position of the guide vanes and increasing the range of motion of the guide vanes.

[0066] When it is necessary to guide the airflow of the indoor unit through the air guide structure, the first motor can drive the carrier to move relative to the mounting bracket, and the second motor can drive the air guide blades to move relative to the carrier. This increases the range of movement of the air guide blades relative to the mounting bracket, thereby controlling the air delivery angle of the indoor unit. This allows the air guide structure to adapt to different room layouts and user needs, helping to reduce blind spots in air delivery and optimize airflow distribution.

[0067] For example, when it is necessary to guide the airflow of the indoor unit through the air guide structure, the first motor can drive the carrier to move relative to the mounting bracket, so that at least part of the carrier can extend out of the air outlet, thereby driving some of the air guide blades on the carrier to extend out of the air outlet. The second motor drives the air guide blades to move relative to the carrier to further change the rotation angle of the air guide blades.

[0068] By independently driving the carrier and the guide vanes with the first and second motors, the guide vanes can move together with the carrier to the outside of the air outlet, and the rotation angle of the guide vanes can be increased, thereby increasing the angle change of the guide vanes with respect to the air outlet direction, improving the air guiding effect of the guide vanes, and increasing the air supply area of ​​the air handling equipment.

[0069] It should be understood that, since the air handling equipment provided in this application embodiment has been structurally improved, the applicant has also made corresponding adjustments to its control method in order to achieve effective control of the improved equipment.

[0070] 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, it can sweep with a smaller sweeping range, which can reduce collisions and friction between the air guiding structure and components such as the air guide plate, and extend 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, it can sweep with a larger sweeping range, so that the large-area sweeping can quickly distribute the air delivered from the air outlet to all corners of the room, which helps the air handling equipment to quickly reach a uniform indoor temperature, shorten the adjustment time, and improve the user's comfort and experience in the space.

[0071] 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 denote 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.

[0072] The technical solution of this application and how the technical solution of this application solves the above-mentioned technical problems are described in detail below with specific embodiments. These specific embodiments can be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be described again in some embodiments. The embodiments of this application will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0073] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 This application provides an air handling device, which includes an indoor unit 10 with an air outlet. The air handling device supplies air to the outside through the air outlet. Taking a wall-mounted air conditioner as an example, the indoor unit 10 of the air handling device can be installed on a wall indoors, and the air outlet can be located on the front (the side facing away from the wall) of the indoor unit 10 and near the bottom. For example, the air outlet can be tilted downwards, making the air supply area of ​​the air handling device more appropriate.

[0074] In the indoor unit 10, the air guide plate is a plate-like structure installed at the air outlet that covers the air outlet. In addition, at least one air guide structure 20 is also provided at the air outlet of the indoor unit 10. Specifically, the air delivery direction and angle of the indoor unit 10 can be adjusted by the air guide plate and the air guide structure 20 to achieve flexible air delivery by the air handling equipment.

[0075] Reference Figures 3-6In some possible implementations, the air guide structure 20 may include an adjustment assembly 200. The adjustment assembly 200 may include a support member 210 and air guide blades 220, the air guide blades 220 being movably disposed on the support member 210.

[0076] The adjustment component 200 can be installed inside the air duct of the indoor unit 10. Specifically, the air duct includes an air duct wall. For ease of explanation, this embodiment predefines the side of the air duct closest to the wall as the basic air duct wall. Based on the above, the adjustment component 200 can be installed on the basic air duct wall. Correspondingly, the support member 210 can be installed on the basic air duct wall.

[0077] The surface of the support member 210 can be parallel to the wall surface of the basic air duct. Furthermore, the support member 210 can also extend along the length of the air outlet so that the adjustment component 200 can cover the air outlet. Each guide vane 220 is arranged sequentially along the surface of the support member 210, and each guide vane 220 is movably connected to the support member 210.

[0078] In this application, the support member 210 is located close to the base duct wall to facilitate the installation of the adjustment assembly 200 onto the base duct wall. The guide vane 220 can be located on the side of the support member 210 facing away from the base duct wall, with the guide vane 220 facing the air outlet and extending towards the air outlet. In this way, the airflow within the duct can pass through the guide vane 220 before being blown out from the air outlet, thus guiding the airflow through the guide vane 220.

[0079] The air guide structure 20 also includes a first motor 300 and a second motor 400, which are connected to the adjustment component 200. The first motor 300 and the second motor 400 drive the adjustment component 200 to move, thereby enabling the adjustment component 200 to adjust the air delivery angle.

[0080] In this application, when the first motor 300 and the second motor 400 drive the adjustment assembly 200 to move, they can drive both the carrier 210 and the guide vanes 220 on the carrier 210 to move. Of course, they can also drive both the carrier 210 and the guide vanes 220 to move simultaneously.

[0081] It is understandable that by driving the first motor 300 and the second motor 400 to move each guide vane 220 on the support member 210, the position of each guide vane 220 relative to the support member 210 can be changed. At this time, the included angle between each guide vane 220 and the plate surface of the support member 210 in a certain direction changes, so that each guide vane 220 deflects towards one side of the air outlet, thereby achieving the effect of adjusting the air delivery angle of the air guiding structure 20.

[0082] It is also understandable that the first motor 300 and the second motor 400 drive the support member 210 to move. At this time, the position of the support member 210 relative to the air outlet changes, and the distance between the support member 210 and the basic air duct wall changes. Furthermore, since the guide vanes 220 are set on the support member 210, each guide vane 220 on the support member 210 also moves with the support member 210. At this time, even if the position of the guide vanes 220 relative to the support plate does not change, the position of the guide vanes 220 relative to the air outlet is changed, which can also achieve the effect of adjusting the air delivery angle of the air guiding structure 20.

[0083] Of course, if the position of the support component 210 relative to the air outlet changes, and the position of the guide vane 220 also changes relative to the support component 210, this positional change can weaken or even eliminate the limitation of the air duct on the deflection angle of the guide vane 220. This increases the range of deflection angles of the guide vane 220 relative to the support component 210. When the deflection angle of the support component 210 relative to the air outlet is adjustable, adjusting the deflection angle of the guide vane 220 relative to the support component 210, based on changing the deflection angle of the support component 210, can further increase the range of deflection angles of the guide vane 220 relative to the air outlet, thereby increasing the air delivery angle of the air guiding structure 20. This expands the range of air delivery angles of the air guiding structure 20, allowing the air handling equipment to cover a larger air delivery area.

[0084] The number of air guide structures 20 in the device body can be two or more. As an optional implementation, there can be two air guide structures 20, which can be spaced apart along the length of the air outlet. Matching the air guide structures 20, there can also be two first motors 300 and two second motors 400. The two first motors 300 and two second motors 400 are respectively connected to the adjustment components 200 in the two air guide structures 20, and the first motors 300 and second motors 400 drive the corresponding adjustment components 200 to move.

[0085] In this way, the two regulating components 200 can deliver air to different areas respectively, and the two regulating components 200 have different air delivery areas, which can expand the air delivery area of ​​the air guide structure 20 and expand the air delivery coverage area of ​​the indoor unit 10 of the air handling equipment.

[0086] Two sets of motors, 300 and 400, independently drive two regulating components 200, allowing for independent adjustment of the air delivery areas of each component 200 without any linkage between them. This makes the air handling unit suitable for different indoor layouts and usage needs. Users can flexibly adjust the air delivery areas of the two regulating components 200 according to actual conditions to meet the needs of different environments for different air delivery areas, ensuring that the airflow from the air handling unit is fully and effectively utilized and avoiding waste.

[0087] In some possible implementations, the first motor 300 may be directly mounted on the housing of the indoor unit 10, or the first motor 300 may be disposed on the mounting bracket 100. The first motor 300 is at least used to drive the carrier 210 to move relative to the mounting bracket 100 so as to adjust the position of the carrier 210 by means of the first motor 300.

[0088] The second motor 400 can be directly installed on the housing of the indoor unit 10, or the second motor 400 can be installed on the mounting bracket 100. The second motor 400 is at least used to drive the air guide blade 220 to move relative to the carrier 210, so as to adjust the position of the air guide blade 220 by the second motor 400, thereby increasing the range of movement of the air guide blade 220.

[0089] It should be noted that the air guide structure 20 may include a mounting bracket 100, which allows the mounting bracket 100 to be used to mount the carrier 210, the first motor 300, and the second motor 400, etc. Alternatively, the air guide structure 20 may not include the mounting bracket 100, and the carrier 210, the first motor 300, and the second motor 400 may be directly mounted on the housing of the indoor unit 10, thereby reducing the number of components required for the air guide structure 20 and simplifying the structure of the indoor unit 10.

[0090] The following embodiments use the air guide structure 20 including the mounting bracket 100 as an example to describe the specific components of the air guide structure 20. It should be noted that the housing of the indoor unit 10 can be reused as the mounting bracket 100, so that the carrier 210, the first motor 300 and the second motor 400 can be directly installed on the housing of the indoor unit 10.

[0091] Reference Figure 7When it is necessary to guide the airflow of the indoor unit 10 through the air guide structure 20, the first motor 300 can drive the carrier 210 to move relative to the mounting bracket 100, and the second motor 400 can drive the air guide blade 220 to move relative to the carrier 210. This increases the range of movement of the air guide blade 220 relative to the mounting bracket 100, thereby controlling the air supply angle of the indoor unit 10. This allows the air guide structure 20 to adapt to different room layouts and user needs, helping to reduce blind spots in air supply and optimize airflow distribution.

[0092] The first motor 300 and the second motor 400 independently drive the carrier 210 and the guide vane 220, so that the guide vane 220 can move together with the carrier 210 to the outside of the air outlet, and the rotation angle of the guide vane 220 can be increased, thereby increasing the angle change of the guide vane 220 to the air outlet direction, improving the air guiding effect of the guide vane 220, and increasing the air supply area of ​​the air handling equipment.

[0093] By independently controlling the air guide vane 220 and the carrier 210 with the first motor 300 and the second motor 400, the accuracy of airflow regulation is improved. Users can adjust the air delivery angle range of the air guide vane 220 or the carrier 210 as needed, reducing the possibility of interference between the first motor 300 and the second motor 400. The combination of the first motor 300 and the second motor 400 provides a wider adjustment range and flexibility to achieve complex airflow patterns to adapt to different room layouts and usage scenarios.

[0094] By adjusting the angles of the guide vanes 220 and the support member 210 respectively, a more uniform and effective airflow distribution can be achieved. Precise airflow control can reduce the operating time and energy consumption of air handling equipment (e.g., air conditioning equipment) using this guide structure 20, thereby improving overall energy efficiency. Since the first motor 300 and the second motor 400 are independently configured, individual motors can be replaced or adjusted as needed during later maintenance without requiring large-scale adjustments to the entire system, thus reducing maintenance costs. In some possible embodiments, the support member 210 may include an upper housing 211 and a lower housing 212 connected together, forming a receiving cavity 2101. The receiving cavity 2101 can provide a mounting base for other structures (e.g., the subsequent second transmission assembly 600), providing support and protection for these structures.

[0095] It should be noted that the mounting bracket 100 can be used to install at the air outlet of the indoor unit 10. The mounting bracket 100 can be fixedly connected to the outer casing of the indoor unit 10. The top surface of the mounting bracket 100 can be used as the mounting base for the support member 210, so that the support member 210 can move relative to the mounting bracket 100, so that at least a part of the support member 210 can extend out of the air outlet of the indoor unit 10.

[0096] For example, the lower housing 212 of the carrier 210 can be used to mount the mounting bracket 100, so that the carrier 210 can rotate relative to the mounting bracket 100 via the lower housing 212. The upper housing 211 of the carrier 210 can be used to mount the air guide vane 220, so that the air guide vane 220 can rotate relative to the upper housing 211 of the carrier 210.

[0097] In some possible implementations, the first motor 300 can drive the carrier 210 to rotate about a preset rotating shaft 900 relative to the mounting bracket 100, and the output shaft of the first motor 300 can be spaced apart from the preset rotating shaft 900.

[0098] For example, the second motor 400 can drive the air guide blade 220 to rotate relative to the carrier 210, and the output shaft of the second motor 400 can be coaxially set with the preset rotating shaft 900.

[0099] In other words, the first motor 300 and the second motor 400 can be set at intervals, and the output shafts of the first motor 300 and the second motor 400 do not overlap. This allows both the first motor 300 and the second motor 400 to be mounted on the surface of the mounting bracket 100 away from the carrier 210, thereby reducing the required mounting thickness of the first motor 300 and the second motor 400, and thus reducing the overall height of the air guide structure 20 and the assembly space required for the air guide structure 20.

[0100] It should be noted that the preset pivot 900 of the carrier 210 can be used to represent the connecting pivot between the carrier 210 and the mounting bracket 100. For example, when there are two carriers 210 arranged side by side, the preset pivot 900 of the carrier 210 can be located at the edge of the carrier 210 (i.e., the side of the two carriers 210 that are far apart from each other), so that the end of the carriers 210 that is close to each other can extend out of the air outlet of the indoor unit 10.

[0101] When the carrier 210 rotates relative to the mounting bracket 100 around the preset rotating shaft 900, the first motor 300 can drive the carrier 210 to rotate, and one end of the carrier 210 near the middle of the air outlet can extend out of the air outlet, so that at least part of the air guide blades 220 on the carrier 210 can move to the outside of the air outlet.

[0102] Reference Figure 7, Figure 8 and Figure 9 In some possible implementations, the air guide structure 20 may also include a first transmission component 500, the output end of the first motor 300 being able to drive the carrier 210 to rotate around a preset rotating shaft 900 relative to the mounting bracket 100 via the first transmission component 500, so as to realize the adjustment process of the position of the carrier 210.

[0103] For example, the first transmission component 500 may include a cooperating gear 510 and an arc-shaped rack 520. The gear 510 is coaxially and fixedly connected to the output shaft of the first motor 300, and the output shaft of the first electrode can drive the gear 510 to rotate. The arc-shaped rack 520 is disposed on the support member 210, and the central axis of the arc-shaped rack 520 coincides with the preset rotating shaft 900. The arc-shaped rack 520 meshes with the gear 510, so that the rotation of the gear 510 can drive the arc-shaped rack 520 to move around the preset rotating shaft 900.

[0104] By adopting the above technical solution, when the first motor 300 drives the carrier 210 to rotate relative to the mounting bracket 100, the output end of the first motor 300 can drive the gear 510 to rotate, so that the gear 510 meshes with the arc-shaped rack 520 to drive the arc-shaped rack 520 to rotate around the preset rotating shaft, and the central axis of the arc-shaped rack 520 coincides with the preset rotating shaft 900, so that the arc-shaped rack 520 can rotate around the preset rotating shaft 900, and the gear 510 can rotate around the output shaft of the first motor 300, thereby realizing the rotation of the carrier 210.

[0105] Furthermore, since the first motor 300 drives the carrier 210 to move through the gear 510, the overall structure of the first motor 300 is fixed relative to the mounting bracket 100, allowing the first motor 300 to be directly mounted on the mounting bracket 100. The output shaft of the first motor 300 can pass through the mounting bracket 100, and the output shaft of the first motor 300 can be coaxially connected with the gear 510 located on the carrier 210, thereby providing a foundation for the first motor 300 to be mounted and supported through the mounting bracket 100.

[0106] For example, the arc-shaped rack 520 can be fixedly connected to the lower housing 212 of the support member 210. For instance, the support member 210 can be provided with a mounting groove 2121, and the arc-shaped rack 520 can be fixedly disposed in the mounting groove 2121 to reduce the thickness of the arc-shaped rack 520 extending out of the lower housing 212 and reduce the overall thickness of the support member 210.

[0107] The output shaft of the first motor 300 can pass through the mounting bracket 100, allowing the output shaft of the first motor 300 to extend to the lower housing 212 of the support member 210. The gear 510 is movably disposed within the mounting groove 2121, and the gear 510 meshes with the arc-shaped rack 520. When the gear 510 meshes with the arc-shaped rack 520 and drives the arc-shaped rack 520 to rotate around a preset axis, the gear 510 can move within the mounting groove 2121, ensuring that the gear 510 is always meshed with the arc-shaped rack 520.

[0108] It should be noted that the arc-shaped rack 520 has opposing inner and outer surfaces. The inner surface of the arc-shaped rack 520 faces the preset rotating axis, while the outer surface of the arc-shaped rack 520 faces away from the preset rotating axis.

[0109] The teeth of the arc-shaped rack 520 can be located on the outer surface of the arc-shaped rack 520, and the gear 510 can be located on the outer surface of the arc-shaped rack 520 and mesh with the teeth of the arc-shaped rack 520. Alternatively, the teeth of the arc-shaped rack 520 can be located on the inner surface of the arc-shaped rack 520, and the gear 510 can be located on the inner surface of the arc-shaped rack 520 and mesh with the teeth of the arc-shaped rack 520.

[0110] The central angle of the arc rack 520 is equal to the maximum rotation angle of the bearing member 210 relative to the mounting bracket 100. The central angle of the arc rack 520 can be greater than or equal to 25 degrees, so that the maximum rotation angle of the bearing member 210 relative to the mounting bracket 100 can be greater than or equal to 25 degrees.

[0111] In some possible implementations, the carrier 210 may be provided with a guide 2122. The guide 2122 can guide the carrier 210 to rotate about a preset pivot 900 relative to the housing of the indoor unit 10.

[0112] It should be noted that the guide member 2122 can be used to guide and limit the rotation process of the carrier member 210, so that the force between the carrier member 210 and the mounting bracket 100 is more uniform, thereby making the rotation process of the carrier member 210 relative to the mounting bracket 100 more stable.

[0113] The guide member 2122 can guide the carrier member 210 to rotate around the preset pivot 900 relative to the housing of the indoor unit 10. It can be understood that when the carrier member 210 is provided with the guide member 2122, the guide member 2122 can contact the mounting bracket 100 or the housing of the indoor unit 10, and the movement trajectory of the guide member 2122 is coaxially set with the carrier member 210.

[0114] For example, the housing of the mounting bracket 100 or the indoor unit 10 may be provided with a guide groove 101. The guide groove 101 may extend around a preset rotating shaft 900, so that the guide member 2122 can move around the preset rotating shaft 900 in the guide groove 101, thereby making the rotation process of the carrier member 210 more stable through the cooperating guide member 2122 and the guide groove 101.

[0115] The guide member 2122 can be located on the outer side of the arc-shaped rack 520. The guide member 2122 can face the outer side of the arc-shaped rack 520, and the guide member 2122 is away from the preset rotating shaft 900 relative to the arc-shaped rack 520. When the gear 510 meshes with the arc-shaped rack 520, so that the carrier member 210 can rotate around the preset rotating shaft relative to the housing of the indoor unit 10, the second motor 400 located on the inner side of the arc-shaped rack 520 and the guide member 2122 located on the outer side of the arc-shaped rack 520 can provide a certain support for the gear 510 and the arc-shaped rack 520 respectively, so that the force on the inner and outer sides of the arc-shaped rack 520 is more even, thereby improving the stability of the carrier member 210 during the rotation process relative to the mounting bracket 100.

[0116] In some possible implementations, the lower housing 212 is rotatably mounted on the mounting bracket 100, and the lower housing 212 is connected to the output shaft of the first motor 300, so that the lower housing 212 can be driven by the first motor 300 to rotate relative to the mounting bracket 100 around a preset axis.

[0117] The upper housing 211 of the support member 210 may be provided with air guide blades 220. There are multiple air guide blades 220, which are arranged sequentially at intervals along a first direction. The first direction may be parallel to the extension direction of the air outlet of the indoor unit 10, and the arrangement direction of the multiple air guide blades 220 may be parallel to the extension direction of the air outlet of the indoor unit 10.

[0118] Reference Figure 7 and Figure 10 The air guide structure 20 also includes a second transmission assembly 600, which is located within the receiving cavity 2101. The input end of the second transmission assembly 600 is connected to the second motor 400, and the output end of the second transmission assembly 600 is connected to the air guide blades 220, so that the second motor 400 can drive multiple air guide blades 220 to rotate relative to the support member 210 through the second transmission assembly 600.

[0119] In some possible implementations, the second transmission assembly 600 includes a transmission link 610, an input link 620, and a plurality of output links 630. The output shaft of the second motor 400 may be connected to a guide vane 220.

[0120] The first end of the input link 620 is fixedly connected to the output end of the second motor 400, and the second end of the input link 620 is rotatably connected to the transmission link 610, which extends along the first direction.

[0121] The output link 630 is arranged in parallel with the input link 620. The first end of the output link 630 is rotatably connected to the transmission link 610, and the second end of the output link 630 is fixedly connected to the corresponding guide vane 220.

[0122] The second motor 400 is used to drive the air guide blade 220 to change position. For example, the second motor 400 is used to drive the air guide blade 220 to change position relative to the carrier 210, such as driving the air guide blade 220 to translate and / or rotate relative to the carrier 210, so that the air guide blade 220 can swing.

[0123] In the extending direction of the support member 210, the transmission link 610 is movably connected to the support member 210. When the transmission link 610 moves along the extending direction of the adjustment assembly 200, it drives the guide vane 220 connected to the transmission link 610 to rotate relative to the support member 210, so that the guide vane 220 connected to the transmission link 610 can rotate relative to the support member 210, thereby allowing the guide vane 220 to adjust the air delivery angle and thus change the air delivery direction of the air guide assembly.

[0124] By setting up a transmission link 610 and connecting all the air guide vanes 220 on the adjusting assembly 200 to the transmission link 610, the air guide vanes 220 can be rotated relative to the support member 210 through the transmission link 610, ensuring the flexibility, smoothness, and efficiency of the air guide assembly's movement. The design of the transmission link 610 optimizes torque transmission and reduces energy loss. The design of the transmission link 610 further reduces friction and wear, improving the system's reliability.

[0125] In one possible implementation, the second motor 400 drives the guide vanes 220, which are connected to the second motor 400, to rotate relative to the support member 210, thereby causing the transmission link 610 connected to the guide vanes 220 to move along the extension direction of the adjustment assembly 200. When the transmission link 610 moves along the extension direction of the adjustment assembly 200, it can drive all the guide vanes 220 connected to the transmission link 610 to rotate relative to the support member 210, thereby adjusting the air delivery angle and changing the air delivery direction of the air guide assembly.

[0126] For example, the second motor 400 can be drivenly connected to the guide vane 220 located at the end of the adjustment assembly 200. This allows the second motor 400 to be located at one end of the adjustment assembly 200, reducing assembly difficulty.

[0127] Of course, in some other embodiments, the second motor 400 can also be connected to the guide vane 220 located near the center of the adjustment component 200. This allows the second motor 400 to have a portion of guide vane 220 on both sides of the extension direction of the adjustment component 200, which can optimize the distribution of driving force and reduce energy consumption. In the embodiments of this application, the setting position of the second motor 400 is not further limited.

[0128] By setting up a second motor 400 and connecting it to one of the guide vanes 220, the rotation of the guide vanes 220 can drive the transmission link 610 connected to the guide vanes 220 to move, and drive the other guide vanes 220 connected to the transmission link 610 to rotate together. This reduces the assembly difficulty of the second motor 400 and provides precise motion control capabilities, thereby allowing for precise adjustment of the angle of the guide vanes 220 as needed, making airflow management more efficient and accurate.

[0129] In some other embodiments, the second motor 400 may also be connected to the transmission link 610, and the second motor 400 is used to drive the transmission link 610 to move along the extension direction of the adjusting assembly 200. This, in turn, drives the plurality of guide vanes 220 connected to the transmission link 610 to rotate.

[0130] By incorporating a second motor 400, precise motion control is provided, allowing for accurate adjustment of the angle of the guide vanes 220 as needed, resulting in more efficient and accurate airflow management. Connecting the second motor 400 to the transmission link 610 ensures that the transmission link 610 effectively transmits the rotational motion of the second motor 400 to the guide vanes 220, guaranteeing flexibility, smoothness, and efficiency in motion.

[0131] In one possible implementation, the transmission link 610 is arranged along the extension direction of the adjustment assembly 200 and is connected to all the guide vanes 220 of the adjustment assembly 200.

[0132] By setting the transmission link 610 as a connecting rod, its structure can be simplified, its manufacturing process is simple, its cost is low, and it is suitable for mass production and application. Furthermore, the transmission link 610 is a simple and reliable mechanical structure that can effectively convert the rotational motion of the motor into the linear or oscillating motion of the guide vanes 220, contributing to improved system reliability and durability. Due to the geometric characteristics of the transmission link 610, it can provide precise motion control, allowing the guide vanes 220 to be precisely adjusted within a set range, thereby achieving more precise airflow management.

[0133] Of course, in other embodiments, the transmission link 610 may also be a crank-connecting rod mechanism, a gear 510 rack mechanism, a cam mechanism, an eccentric wheel mechanism, an electric push rod, a stepper motor or servo motor drive, a pneumatic or hydraulic cylinder gear 510, a universal joint or ball joint, etc. In the embodiments of this application, the specific structure of the transmission link 610 is not further limited.

[0134] Reference Figure 11 In some possible implementations, the first motor 300 may be fixedly mounted on the side of the mounting bracket 100 away from the carrier 210, the output end of the first motor 300 passes through the mounting bracket 100, and the output end of the first motor 300 is connected to the carrier 210.

[0135] The second motor 400 is movably mounted on the side of the mounting bracket 100 away from the support member 210. The mounting bracket 100 is provided with a clearance opening 102, through which the second motor 400 is connected to the support member 210.

[0136] It should be noted that by setting the first motor 300 in the middle of the support member 210 (the second motor 400 is located at the end of the support member 210), the second motor 400 can be fixed relative to the mounting bracket 100. The mounting bracket 100 will not interfere with the use of the second motor 400, making the rotation process of the support member 210 more stable. Therefore, there is no need to open the clearance opening 102 and other structures in the mounting bracket 100, making the structure of the mounting bracket 100 simpler.

[0137] In summary, the air guide structure 20 includes an adjustment component 200, a first motor 300, and a second motor 400. The following description uses an example where the air guide structure 20 includes a mounting bracket 100: the mounting bracket 100 is installed inside the housing of the indoor unit 10 and can be located near the air outlet of the indoor unit 10. The adjustment component 200 includes a support member 210 and air guide blades 220. The support member 210 is movably mounted on the mounting bracket 100, and the air guide blades 220 are movably mounted on the support member 210, thereby allowing the support member 210 to move relative to the mounting bracket 100 and the air guide blades 220 to move relative to the support member 210.

[0138] A first motor 300 is mounted on the mounting bracket 100. The first motor 300 is used at least to drive the support member 210 to move relative to the mounting bracket 100, so as to adjust the position of the support member 210. A second motor 400 is mounted on the mounting bracket 100. The second motor 400 is used at least to drive the guide vane 220 to move relative to the support member 210, so as to adjust the position of the guide vane 220, thereby increasing the range of motion of the guide vane 220.

[0139] When it is necessary to guide the airflow of the indoor unit 10 through the air guide structure 20, the first motor 300 can drive the carrier 210 to move relative to the mounting bracket 100, and the second motor 400 can drive the air guide blades 220 to move relative to the carrier 210. This increases the range of movement of the air guide blades 220 relative to the mounting bracket 100, thereby controlling the air supply angle of the indoor unit 10. This allows the air guide structure 20 to adapt to different room layouts and user needs, helping to reduce blind spots in air supply and optimize airflow distribution.

[0140] For example, when it is necessary to guide the airflow of the indoor unit 10 through the air guide structure 20, the first motor 300 can drive the carrier 210 to move relative to the mounting bracket 100, so that at least part of the carrier 210 can extend out of the air outlet, thereby driving part of the air guide blades 220 on the carrier 210 to extend out of the air outlet. The second motor 400 drives the air guide blades 220 to move relative to the carrier 210, so as to further change the rotation angle of the air guide blades 220.

[0141] The first motor 300 and the second motor 400 independently drive the carrier 210 and the guide vane 220, so that the guide vane 220 can move together with the carrier 210 to the outside of the air outlet, and the rotation angle of the guide vane 220 can be increased, thereby increasing the angle change of the guide vane 220 to the air outlet direction, improving the air guiding effect of the guide vane 220, and increasing the air supply area of ​​the air handling equipment.

[0142] This application provides an indoor unit 10, including an air guide structure 20 and a first heat exchanger, wherein the air guide structure 20 is disposed on the air outlet side of the first heat exchanger.

[0143] In some possible implementations, the indoor unit 10 is provided with an air outlet; the air outlet is provided with an air guide plate that can move relative to the air outlet; and the air guide structure 20 is provided on the inner side of the air guide plate.

[0144] This application provides an air handling device, including an indoor unit 10, a compressor, and a second heat exchanger, both of which are connected to the compressor.
