Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] Air conditioner indoor units are equipped with guide plates at the air outlet to control and guide the flow of cool or warm air generated by the air conditioner, achieving a more uniform and comfortable indoor temperature distribution. With the optimized design of air conditioner indoor units, the guide plate is designed as a large guide plate, with a length greater than the length of the air outlet, making the length of the large guide plate consistent with the length of the air conditioner indoor unit. The large guide plate no longer only covers the air outlet of the air conditioner indoor unit, but also covers the areas on the outer casing of the air conditioner indoor unit located at both ends of the air outlet.

[0003] The large guide plate needs to be able to rotate relative to the air conditioner indoor unit casing to open or close the air outlet. However, the areas on the air conditioner indoor unit casing at both ends of the air outlet restrict the direct rotation of the large guide plate. In related technologies, when it is necessary to open the air outlet, the large guide plate needs to be moved away from the air outlet at a certain distance before rotating; when it is necessary to close the air outlet, the large guide plate needs to be rotated first, its angle adjusted, and then brought closer to the air outlet. The large guide plate cannot be directly fixed-axis rotatably connected to the air conditioner indoor unit casing, requiring a complex drive mechanism for the large guide plate. This results in poor reliability of the drive mechanism and the air conditioner, and higher costs.

[0004] Therefore, how to solve the problem of the complex structure of the drive mechanism of the large guide plate in related technologies has become an important technical problem to be solved by those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0041] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0042] The following is combined with Figures 1 to 8 This invention describes the indoor unit of an air conditioner.

[0043] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, the indoor unit of the air conditioner provided in this embodiment of the present invention includes a housing 1, a guide plate and a drive device.

[0044] Specifically, the outer casing 1 is provided with an air outlet 2 and a pair of support parts 3, which are distributed at both ends of the air outlet 2 along the length of the outer casing 1. The outer casing 1 includes a cover and a frame. The support parts 3 can be part of the cover of the outer casing 1 or part of the frame of the outer casing 1, and there is no specific limitation.

[0045] The guide plate is located outside the housing 1 and is rotatably mounted on the air outlet 2. The drive device is located on the support 3 and is used to drive the guide plate to rotate relative to the housing 1.

[0046] The guide plate extends from one end of the outer shell 1 to the other end along the length direction of the outer shell 1. The rotation axis of the guide plate relative to the outer shell 1 is parallel to the length direction of the outer shell 1. The support part 3 is provided with a clearance groove on one side of the guide plate. The clearance groove allows the guide plate to extend into the groove when the guide plate rotates relative to the outer shell 1.

[0047] This configuration allows the guide plate to avoid collisions with the outer shell 1 by using the clearance groove on the outer shell 1, thereby achieving fixed-axis rotation of the guide plate. This simplifies the structure of the drive device, reduces costs, improves reliability, and solves the problem of complex drive mechanism structures for large guide plates in related technologies.

[0048] The length direction of the air outlet 2 is consistent with the length direction of the outer casing 1, and the width direction of the air outlet 2 is perpendicular to the length direction of the outer casing 1.

[0049] There may be only one guide plate or at least two guide plates. Each guide plate is distributed along the width direction of the air outlet 2 and extends from one end of the outer casing 1 to the other end along the length direction of the outer casing 1.

[0050] In this embodiment, two guide plates are provided, as shown in the reference. Figure 1 and Figure 2 .

[0051] The guide plate includes a first guide plate 4 and a second guide plate 5. The first guide plate 4 and the second guide plate 5 are distributed along the width direction of the air outlet 2. The first guide plate 4 and the second guide plate 5 both extend from one end of the outer shell 1 to the other end along the length direction of the outer shell 1.

[0052] Accordingly, each support portion 3 is provided with two clearance grooves, including a first clearance groove 6 and a second clearance groove 7. The first clearance groove 6 and the second clearance groove 7 are distributed along the width direction of the air outlet 2. The first clearance groove 6 is used to avoid the first guide plate 4, and the second clearance groove 7 is used to avoid the second guide plate 5. This allows both the first guide plate 4 and the second guide plate 5 to rotate relative to the outer casing 1 on a fixed axis.

[0053] Accordingly, the driving device includes a first driving mechanism 11 and a second driving mechanism 12. The first driving mechanism 11 is used to drive the first guide plate 4 to rotate relative to the outer shell 1 on a fixed axis, and the second driving mechanism 12 is used to drive the second guide plate 5 to rotate relative to the outer shell 1 on a fixed axis.

[0054] In this embodiment of the present invention, the support portion 3 includes a support plate, and the first clearance groove 6 and the second clearance groove 7 are both formed by bending the support plate toward the interior of the outer shell 1, as shown in the figure. Figure 7 and Figure 8 .

[0055] The support plate forms a first protruding ridge 8 inside the outer shell 1 at the position corresponding to the first clearance groove 6, and forms a second protruding ridge 9 inside the outer shell 1 at the position corresponding to the second clearance groove 7. There is a gap between the first protruding ridge 8 and the second protruding ridge 9, and a strip groove 10 is formed between the first protruding ridge 8 and the second protruding ridge 9.

[0056] The space on the side of the first protrusion 8 away from the second protrusion 9, the space on the side of the second protrusion 9 away from the first protrusion 8, and the space between the first protrusion 8 and the second protrusion 9 can all be used to install the first drive mechanism 11 and the second drive mechanism 12.

[0057] Specifically, the first drive mechanism 11 can be disposed on one side of the first protrusion 8, and the second drive mechanism 12 can be disposed on one side of the second protrusion 9.

[0058] In this embodiment, the first of the first driving mechanism 11 and the second driving mechanism 12 is disposed in the strip groove 10, and the second is disposed on the side away from the first convex ridge 8 and the second convex ridge 9.

[0059] It should be noted that the "first" in the first drive mechanism 11 and the second drive mechanism 12 is not necessarily the one that appears first, nor is the "second" necessarily the one that appears later. The first drive mechanism 11 can be the first drive mechanism 11, in which case the second drive mechanism 12 is the second; or the first drive mechanism 11 can be the second drive mechanism 12, in which case the first drive mechanism 11 is the second.

[0060] Both the first drive mechanism 11 and the second drive mechanism 12 include a drive motor.

[0061] In some embodiments, along the distribution direction of the first protrusion 8 and the second protrusion 9, the size of the first protrusion 8 is smaller than the size of the strip groove 10. In this case, the driving device corresponding to the first protrusion 8 can be directly set inside the strip groove 10.

[0062] In other embodiments, along the distribution direction of the first protrusion 8 and the second protrusion 9, the size of the first protrusion 8 is larger than the size of the strip groove 10. In this case, it is impossible to directly place the driving device corresponding to the first protrusion 8 inside the strip groove 10. In this embodiment, the driving device also includes a transmission mechanism 13, which is disposed in the strip groove 10, so that the first guide plate 4 and the second guide plate 5 corresponding to the first protrusion 8, as well as the first protrusion 8, are all drively connected to the transmission mechanism 13.

[0063] By using a transmission mechanism 13 with a small size along the distribution direction of the first convex 8 and the second convex 9, the drive device corresponding to the strip groove 10 is connected to the guide plate. The transmission mechanism 13 can increase the flexibility of the setting position of the drive device, thereby enabling the drive device to be installed outside the strip groove 10.

[0064] In this embodiment, the transmission mechanism 13 includes gears, which are rotatably disposed within the strip groove 10. At least two gears are provided, each distributed along the depth direction of the strip groove 10. A gear is fixedly connected to the first guide plate 4 and the second guide plate 5 corresponding to the first guide plate, and a gear is fixedly connected to the first drive mechanism 11 and the second drive mechanism 12 corresponding to the first drive mechanism.

[0065] In this embodiment, the size of the first guide plate 4 is larger than the size of the second guide plate 5 along the width direction of the air outlet 2. At this time, a first drive mechanism 11 can be provided at both ends of the first guide plate 4, and the first guide plate 4 can be driven by the two first drive mechanisms 11.

[0066] At least one end of the second guide plate 5 is provided with a second driving mechanism 12. Specifically, the second driving mechanism 12 can be provided at only one end of the second guide plate 5, and the second guide plate 5 can be driven by one second driving mechanism 12. Alternatively, the second driving mechanism 12 can be provided at both ends of the second guide plate 5, and the second guide plate 5 can be driven by two second driving mechanisms 12.

[0067] On the other hand, this utility model embodiment also provides an air conditioner, including the air conditioner indoor unit provided in any of the above embodiments. The air conditioner indoor unit provided in any of the above embodiments has the advantages of simple structure and low cost. Therefore, the air conditioner provided in this embodiment also has the advantages of simple structure and low cost. The derivation process of the beneficial effects of the air conditioner in this utility model embodiment is largely similar to the derivation process of the beneficial effects of the air conditioner indoor unit described above, so it will not be repeated here.

[0068] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and not to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
