[0002] In the indoor unit of an air conditioner, the louvers regulate the direction of airflow. The rotation of the louvers is typically achieved by the rotation of the motor's output shaft, which drives a connecting crank connected to the louvers. The connecting crank is usually positioned at intervals or in contact with the motor housing on one side. During the rotation of the connecting crank, the contact area between the crank and the motor housing may become too large, resulting in significant friction. This not only causes energy loss but also generates considerable noise during crank rotation, reducing the user experience. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of the above problems, this utility model is proposed to provide a swing blade drive assembly and an air conditioner indoor unit having the above problems to overcome or at least partially solve the above problems. It can reduce the friction between the connecting crank and the motor box, reduce energy loss, and reduce the noise generated when the connecting crank rotates, thereby improving the user experience.

[0009] The motor box also includes a first baffle, which is fixedly connected to the front side of the front plate and located on the front side of the mounting plate. The projection of the front end face of the first protrusion on the plane where the rear surface of the shaft is located is within the rear surface of the shaft.

[0010] Optionally, the first baffle and the front plate are connected by a second baffle extending in the front-rear direction.

[0011] The mounting plate is a circular plate, and a positioning plate extending radially outward along the mounting plate is connected to the mounting plate. The second baffle is configured to stop in the rotation path of the positioning plate to limit the rotation angle of the positioning plate.

[0012] Optionally, the front panel is provided with a molding hole, and the projection of the first baffle on the front panel is within the projection of the molding hole on the front panel.

[0013] Optionally, the projection of the first protrusion on the front plate is arc-shaped, the arc-shaped opening faces the molding hole, and is coaxial with the output shaft of the motor.

[0014] Optionally, the first baffle and the mounting plate are spaced apart, and the distance between them is less than the minimum radius of the mounting plate. Alternatively,

[0015] The rear end of the first baffle forms a rearwardly protruding second protrusion, and the rear end of the second protrusion is in contact with the mounting plate.

[0016] Optionally, the cross-sectional profile of the first protrusion is a trapezoid with the smaller end facing forward. Or,

[0017] The cross-sectional profile of the first protrusion is a triangle with the smaller end pointing forward. Or,

[0024] Optionally, the motor housing protrudes downward to form a connecting post.

[0025] The air outlet frame is located on the lower side of the motor box. A connecting groove is formed on the air outlet frame to fit and insert into the connecting post.

[0042] Figure 1This is a schematic front view of a louver drive assembly according to an embodiment of the present invention, as shown below. Figure 1 As shown, and with reference Figures 2 to 5 This utility model embodiment provides a pendulum drive assembly. The pendulum drive assembly includes a motor 300, a motor housing 100, and a connecting crank 200.

[0043] The motor housing 100 is used to mount the motor 300, and the motor housing 100 includes a front plate 110, on which a through hole 120 is provided, and the front surface of the front plate 110 protrudes forward to form a first protrusion 130. The output shaft of the motor 300 extends forward through the through hole 120.

[0044] The connecting crank 200 includes a rotating shaft 210 extending in the front-rear direction. The rotating shaft 210 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor 300, and the rear end of the rotating shaft 210 is located on the front side of the first protrusion 130. The projection of the front end surface of the first protrusion 130 onto the plane where the rear surface of the rotating shaft 210 is located is within the rear surface of the rotating shaft 210.

[0045] In this embodiment, when the motor 300 is working, the output shaft of the motor 300 rotates, which drives the rotating shaft 210 to rotate, thereby causing the connecting crank 200 to rotate synchronously, so that the pendulum connected to the connecting crank 200 can rotate or move.

[0046] With a certain gap between the connecting crank 200 and the first protrusion 130, when the oscillating blade drive assembly is working, the connecting crank 200 rotates. Since the front surface of the front plate 110 is provided with the first protrusion 130, even when the connecting crank 200 is tilted, it can reduce the contact area between the connecting crank 200 and the motor housing 100, thereby reducing the friction between the connecting crank 200 and the motor housing 100. This not only reduces the energy required for the motor 300 to drive the connecting crank 200 to rotate, but also reduces the noise generated when the connecting crank 200 rotates, improving the user experience.

[0047] Alternatively, when the connecting crank 200 contacts the first protrusion 130, since the front surface of the front plate 110 is provided with the first protrusion 130, the connecting crank 200 only contacts the first protrusion 130 formed on the front plate 110 of the motor housing 100. This reduces the shaking of the connecting crank 200 and improves its stability, while also reducing the contact area between the connecting crank 200 and the motor housing 100. Consequently, the friction between the connecting crank 200 and the motor housing 100 is reduced, which not only reduces the energy required for the motor 300 to drive the connecting crank 200 to rotate, but also reduces the noise generated when the connecting crank 200 rotates, thus improving the user experience.

[0048] In some embodiments of the blade drive assembly of this utility model, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a mounting plate 211 is formed at the rear end of the rotating shaft 210, and the mounting plate 211 is arranged perpendicular to the front-rear direction. The rear end of the mounting plate 211 contacts the front end of the first protrusion 130.

[0049] The motor box 100 also includes a first baffle 140, which is fixedly connected to the front side of the front plate 110 and located on the front side of the mounting plate 211.

[0050] In this embodiment, the rear end of the rotating shaft 210 extends outward to form a mounting plate 211 perpendicular to the front-rear direction, and the projection of the front end face of the first protrusion 130 onto the plane of the rear surface of the mounting plate 211 is within the rear surface of the mounting plate 211. The rear end contacts the front end of the first protrusion 130, further enhancing the stability and reliability of the connection between the crank 200 and the motor housing 100. The first baffle 140 stops at the front side of the mounting plate 211, and the motor housing 100 stops at the rear side of the mounting plate 211, further restricting the movement of the first baffle 140, thereby restricting the front-rear movement of the connecting crank 200 and improving the connection stability between the connecting crank 200 and the motor housing 100.

[0051] When installing the connecting crank 200, the mounting plate 211 can be placed between the first baffle 140 and the front plate 110, and then the output shaft of the motor 300 can be connected to the rotating shaft 210 through the through hole 120 to fix the connecting crank 200.

[0052] In some embodiments of the blade drive assembly of this utility model, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the first baffle 140 and the front plate 110 are connected by a second baffle 150 extending in the front-rear direction.

[0053] Mounting plate 211 is a circular plate, and a positioning plate 212 extending radially outward along mounting plate 211 is connected to mounting plate 211. Second baffle 150 is configured to stop in the rotation path of positioning plate 212 to limit the rotation angle of positioning plate 212.

[0054] In this embodiment, when the motor 300 is working, the output shaft of the motor 300 drives the rotating shaft 210 to rotate. During the rotation of the rotating shaft 210, the positioning plate 212 also rotates synchronously. The second baffle 150 stops the rotating shaft 212 in the rotation path to prevent the rotating shaft 210 from rotating too much, ensuring that the rotating shaft 210 operates within a preset working range. This, in turn, ensures that the rotation range of the oscillating blade is within the preset range, preventing the wire from being torn due to excessive rotation of the rotating shaft 210.

[0055] In some embodiments of the swing blade drive assembly of this utility model, the front plate 110 is provided with a forming hole 160, and the projection of the first baffle 140 on the front plate 110 is within the projection of the forming hole 160 on the front plate 110, so as to facilitate the forming and demolding of the first baffle 140, reduce the manufacturing difficulty of the motor box 100, and thus reduce the production cost of the motor box 100.

[0056] In some embodiments of the blade drive assembly of this utility model, such as Figure 4 As shown, the projection of the first protrusion 130 on the front plate 110 is arc-shaped, the arc-shaped opening faces the forming hole 160, and is coaxial with the output shaft of the motor 300.

[0057] In this embodiment, since the arc-shaped first protrusion 130 is coaxial with the output shaft of the motor 300, when the motor 300 operates and drives the output shaft to rotate, the forces in all directions on the shaft 210 can be evenly borne by the first protrusion 130, thus avoiding the problem of deformation or increased wear of the shaft 210 due to uneven support.

[0058] Moreover, the arc-shaped opening is set towards the forming hole 160, so that the forming hole 160 can coincide with the circular part where the first protrusion 130 is located, thereby making the structure on the motor box 100 more compact, making the structure of the motor box 100 more compact, reducing the space occupied by the motor box 100, and thus expanding the application scenarios of the motor box 100.

[0059] In some embodiments of the oscillating blade drive assembly of this utility model, the first baffle 140 and the mounting plate 211 are spaced apart, and the distance between them is less than the minimum radius of the mounting plate 211.

[0060] In this embodiment, the first baffle 140 and the mounting plate 211 are spaced apart. While avoiding friction between the first baffle 140 and the mounting plate 211, the distance between them is less than the minimum radius of the mounting plate 211. When the mounting plate 211 tends to shift back and forth during rotation, the first baffle 140 can block and correct it in time based on its relative position to the mounting plate 211. This ensures that the rotation of the mounting plate 211 is always kept within the preset range, so that the first baffle 140 can still effectively limit the mounting plate 211, further enhancing the stability and reliability of the swing blade drive assembly.

[0061] In some embodiments of the blade drive assembly of this utility model, the rear end of the first baffle 140 forms a rearwardly protruding second protrusion, and the rear end of the second protrusion is in contact with the mounting plate 211.

[0062] In this embodiment, the contact arrangement between the second protrusion and the mounting plate 211 further enhances the supporting and positioning effect of the first baffle 140 on the mounting plate 211. Compared with planar contact, the contact method of the protrusion reduces the friction between the first baffle 140 and the mounting plate 211, improving the smoothness of the movement of the oscillating vane drive assembly, while also reducing noise and vibration caused by excessive friction, thus improving the user experience.

[0063] In some embodiments of the blade drive assembly of this utility model, the projection of the first protrusion 130 on the front plate 110 is circular and coaxial with the output shaft of the motor 300.

[0064] In this embodiment, since the circular first protrusion 130 is coaxial with the output shaft of the motor 300, when the motor 300 operates and drives the output shaft to rotate, the forces in all directions on the shaft 210 can be evenly borne by the first protrusion 130, thus avoiding the problem of deformation or increased wear of the shaft 210 due to uneven support.

[0065] Furthermore, by reducing the contact area between the mounting plate 211 and the first protrusion 130 when the connecting crank 200 rotates, the amount of lubricant consumed is reduced, thereby lowering the operating cost. It also avoids situations where the stability of the connecting crank 200 is poor due to changes in the contact surface between the connecting crank 200 and the mounting plate 211.

[0066] In some embodiments of the blade drive assembly of this utility model, the cross-sectional profile of the first protrusion 130 is a trapezoid with the smaller end facing forward.

[0067] In this embodiment, the trapezoidal cross-section design makes the first protrusion 130 and the mounting plate 211 in surface contact, which reduces the pressure exerted on the mounting plate 211 by the first protrusion 130, thereby reducing the likelihood of the mounting plate 211 being scratched and worn, and improving the service life of the connecting crank 200.

[0068] In some embodiments of the blade drive assembly of this utility model, the cross-sectional profile of the first protrusion 130 is a triangle with the small end facing forward.

[0069] In this embodiment, the first protrusion 130, which has a triangular cross-section with the small end facing forward, contacts the rear end of the mounting plate 211, reducing the contact area between the mounting plate 211 and the first protrusion 130. This further reduces the friction between the crank 200 and the motor housing 100, thereby reducing the noise generated during the operation of the swing blade.

[0070] In some embodiments of the blade drive assembly of this utility model, the cross-sectional profile of the first protrusion 130 is an arc with a central angle less than or equal to 180°.

[0071] In this embodiment, the arc-shaped front end design provides a smoother surface for the contact between the crank 200 shaft 210 and the first protrusion 130, reducing friction and jamming caused by uneven contact, thereby improving the stability of the movement of the oscillating blade drive assembly.

[0072] Furthermore, the arc-shaped front end contacts the mounting plate 211, reducing the contact area between the mounting plate 211 and the first protrusion 130, further reducing the friction between the connecting crank 200 and the motor box 100, thereby reducing the noise generated during the operation of the swing blade.

[0073] In some embodiments of the blade drive assembly of this utility model, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the connecting crank 200 also includes a first connecting rod 220 and a second connecting rod 230. The first connecting rod 220 is arranged parallel to the rotating shaft 210 and is located on the front side of the rotating shaft 210. The second connecting rod 230 connects the first connecting rod 220 and the rotating shaft 210, with the first connecting rod 220 and the rotating shaft 210 located on the front and rear sides of the second connecting rod 230, respectively.

[0074] In this embodiment, the first connecting rod 220 is arranged parallel to the rotating shaft 210 and located in front of the rotating shaft 210. When the motor 300 drives the rotating shaft 210 to rotate by using the output shaft of the motor 300 to drive the connecting crank 200 to move, the first connecting rod 220 can effectively transmit power to the pendulum. This structural design can adjust the length, shape, etc. of the first connecting rod 220 and the second connecting rod 230 according to different application scenarios and needs to adapt to the requirements of the pendulum connection position in various scenarios, thereby improving the application range of the pendulum drive assembly.

[0075] In some embodiments of the oscillating blade drive assembly of this utility model, a lubricant is applied between the first protrusion 130 and the mounting plate 211 to further reduce the friction between the first protrusion 130 and the mounting plate 211.

[0076] Furthermore, in some embodiments of the oscillating blade drive assembly of this invention, the lubricant may be a lubricating oil such as palm grease or mineral oil.

[0077] This utility model embodiment also provides an indoor unit for an air conditioner. The indoor unit for the air conditioner includes an air outlet frame, a louver drive assembly and louvers as described in any of the above embodiments.

[0078] The louver drive assembly is fixedly connected to the air outlet frame.

[0079] The oscillating blades are rotatably connected to the air outlet frame. The output shaft of the motor 300 is connected to the oscillating blades via a transmission mechanism to drive the oscillating blades to rotate.

[0080] In this embodiment, when the motor 300 is working, the output shaft of the motor 300 rotates, which drives the rotating shaft 210 to rotate, thereby causing the connecting crank 200 to rotate synchronously, so that the pendulum connected to the connecting crank 200 can rotate or move.

[0081] With a certain gap between the connecting crank 200 and the first protrusion 130, when the oscillating blade drive assembly is working, the connecting crank 200 rotates. Since the front surface of the front plate 110 is provided with the first protrusion 130, even when the connecting crank 200 is tilted, it can reduce the contact area between the connecting crank 200 and the motor housing 100, thereby reducing the friction between the connecting crank 200 and the motor housing 100. This not only reduces the energy required for the motor 300 to drive the connecting crank 200 to rotate, but also reduces the noise generated when the connecting crank 200 rotates, improving the user experience.

[0082] Alternatively, when the connecting crank 200 contacts the first protrusion 130, since the front surface of the front plate 110 is provided with the first protrusion 130, the connecting crank 200 only contacts the first protrusion 130 formed on the front plate 110 of the motor housing 100. This reduces the shaking of the connecting crank 200 and improves its stability, while also reducing the contact area between the connecting crank 200 and the motor housing 100. Consequently, the friction between the connecting crank 200 and the motor housing 100 is reduced, which not only reduces the energy required for the motor 300 to drive the connecting crank 200 to rotate, but also reduces the noise generated when the connecting crank 200 rotates, thus improving the user experience.

[0083] In some embodiments of the indoor unit of the air conditioner of this utility model, such as Figure 5 As shown, the motor box 100 protrudes downward to form a connecting post 170.

[0084] The air outlet frame is located on the lower side of the motor box 100. A connecting groove is formed on the air outlet frame to fit and insert into the connecting post 170.

[0085] In this embodiment, the output shaft of the motor 300 rotates in the front-to-back direction, thereby driving the oscillating blades to move. During the operation of the motor 300, the motor 300 will produce a wobbling motion perpendicular to the front-to-back direction. Inserting the connecting post 170 into the connecting slot restricts the movement of the motor housing 100 in the vertical direction, making the motor 300 more stable during operation, reducing motor vibration, and thus reducing the likelihood of resonance between the motor housing 100 and the air outlet frame. This reduces the noise generated by the oscillating blades during operation and improves the user experience.

[0086] In some embodiments of the indoor unit of the air conditioner of this utility model, a vibration damping layer is adhered to the peripheral wall of the connecting column 170.

[0087] Furthermore, in some embodiments of the indoor unit of the air conditioner of this utility model, flocked cloth is adhered to the peripheral wall of the connecting column 170.

[0088] Alternatively, in some alternative embodiments of the indoor unit of the air conditioner of this utility model, a rubber ring is fitted on the peripheral wall of the connecting column 170.

[0089] In the above embodiment, a damping layer such as flocked cloth or rubber ring is fixed to the periphery of the connecting column 170, that is, between the connecting column 170 and the connecting groove, to further reduce the vibration of the motor box 100, thereby reducing the resonance between the motor box 100 and the mounting frame and reducing the noise when the swing blade moves.

[0090] 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.
