Description

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

[0002] This application relates to the field of air handling equipment technology, and more particularly to an air guide assembly and an air handling device. Background Technology

[0003] Air handling equipment, such as air conditioning equipment, typically includes an air outlet and an air guide plate located on the outside of the air outlet. One end of the air guide plate is rotatably connected to the bottom of the air outlet. By changing the angle at which the air guide plate opens relative to the air outlet, the airflow direction of the air outlet can be changed.

[0004] However, this method of adjusting the airflow direction results in a smaller area covered by the air conditioning unit. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the above problems, this application provides an air guide component and an air handling device, which helps to solve the problem of small air blowing coverage area in related technologies.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides the following technical solution:

[0007] In a first aspect, this application provides an air guide assembly installed at the air outlet of an air handling device, comprising: an adjustment assembly including: a support plate having a rack on the support plate; and a drive assembly including a drive gear meshing with the rack to drive the support plate to change position relative to the mounting surface.

[0008] The drive assembly and the support plate are driven by a gear and rack meshing to change the position of the support plate relative to the mounting surface. This results in smoother and more stable displacement of the support plate, easier control of its displacement speed, high reliability, and a simple, easy-to-implement structure. Furthermore, it allows the support plate to be positioned outside the air outlet of the air handling unit using this air guide assembly. This reduces the area of ​​the air guide assembly obstructed by the outlet sidewall, thereby increasing the airflow area and enabling the air handling unit to cover a larger area. Compared to related technologies that only adjust the airflow angle using a guide plate, this solution can cover a larger airflow area, improve air handling efficiency, and ultimately save energy.

[0009] In one possible implementation, the carrier plate defines a mounting cavity, and at least a portion of the structure of the drive assembly is drively connected to the carrier plate within the mounting cavity.

[0010] By integrating at least a portion of the drive assembly's structure within the mounting cavity of the support plate, a stable installation environment is provided for the transmission structure, preventing mechanical jamming caused by external airflow disturbances or foreign object intrusion, thus improving the stability and reliability of the drive assembly's operation. The design of at least a portion of the drive assembly's structure within the mounting cavity reduces the impact of mechanical vibration on airflow accuracy through centralized transmission connections. Furthermore, the mounting cavity's enclosure of the drive assembly strengthens the physical protection of the connection structure, reduces the risk of mechanical wear, extends the component's service life, and further ensures the sustained stability of the airflow guide assembly's adjustment function by reducing external environmental interference.

[0011] In one possible implementation, the drive assembly includes a second drive member, at least a portion of which is disposed within the mounting cavity and is drively connected to the support plate to drive the support plate to change position relative to the mounting surface.

[0012] Thus, by setting a second driving component, the movement of the support plate can be controlled independently, which helps to improve the accuracy of airflow regulation. Users can adjust the air delivery angle range of the guide vanes or the support plate individually as needed.

[0013] In one possible implementation, the support plate has a base point, the rack extends around the base point to form an arc, and the second drive member is used to drive the support plate to rotate around the base point so that the support plate moves away from the mounting surface.

[0014] Thus, by setting a base point and using it as the pivot for the rotating bearing plate, the adjusting component can rotate around this base point as an axis. This base point provides a stable reference point for the adjusting component, allowing its movement and adjustment to be relative to this base point, thus ensuring more precise and controllable movement. After the adjusting component rotates around the base point by a certain angle, a portion of its structure can be located outside the air outlet of the air handling unit using this air guide component, while another portion is located inside the air outlet. The area of ​​the portion of the air guide component located outside the air outlet that is obstructed by the outlet sidewall is reduced, thereby increasing the airflow area of ​​the air guide component. Furthermore, by controlling the position of this base point, the size of the portion of the air guide component located outside the air outlet of the air handling unit using this air guide component can be controlled, thereby controlling the airflow area of ​​the air guide component and improving its installation flexibility.

[0015] In one possible implementation, the support plate includes a first side plate and a second side plate located on opposite sides of the mounting cavity along the thickness direction of the support plate; the second driving member includes a second motor and a second transmission member; wherein at least a portion of the structure of the second transmission member is formed as the rack, the second transmission member is disposed in the mounting cavity and fixedly connected to the second side plate, the second motor includes a second output shaft, and the driving gear is disposed on the second output shaft.

[0016] Thus, by driving the second transmission component with the second motor, the support plate can rotate around the base point, ensuring a short and efficient power transmission path for adjusting the angle of the support plate relative to the mounting surface. Simultaneously, the second transmission component, built into the mounting cavity, effectively isolates it from external environmental interference. The transmission connection within the enclosed space enables precise control of the support plate's movement, preventing adjustment misalignment due to vibration or external impact, thereby improving the synchronization and stability of the overall position adjustment of the support plate.

[0017] In one possible implementation, the second motor further includes a second motor body, which is disposed on the side of the second side plate facing away from the first side plate. The second side plate is provided with a second shaft hole, which extends circumferentially along the base point to form an arc-shaped hole. The second output shaft passes through the second shaft hole, and the drive gear is disposed at one end of the second output shaft that extends into the mounting cavity to mesh with the rack for transmission.

[0018] Thus, after the second output shaft of the second motor passes through the arc-shaped hole into the mounting cavity, the meshing of its end drive gear and rack forms a transmission path along the circumference of the base point. Through the meshing of the drive gear and rack, the rotational motion of the second output shaft of the second motor is directly converted into precise rotational adjustment of the support plate around the base point. The matching design of the rack's curvature and the base point's rotation trajectory significantly reduces sliding friction or offset during transmission, ensuring the smoothness and continuity of the overall rotation angle of the support plate, thereby improving the accuracy and range of airflow direction adjustment. Simultaneously, the second motor body is externally mounted on the side of the second side plate facing away from the mounting cavity. This avoids the influence of the second motor body's operating heat on the internal transmission structure and, through the guiding effect of the arc-shaped hole, constrains the motion trajectory of the second output shaft, ensuring that the meshing of the drive gear and rack remains in a stable contact state, reducing vibration or angular errors caused by transmission clearance.

[0019] In one possible implementation, the adjustment assembly further includes: multiple air guide vanes arranged along the extension direction of the support plate, the air guide vanes being rotatable relative to the support plate; at least a portion of the drive assembly is connected to the air guide vanes within the mounting cavity to drive the air guide vanes to rotate relative to the support plate.

[0020] In this way, by setting the air guide vanes to be rotatable relative to the support plate, the angle of the air guide vanes can be further adjusted based on the displacement of the support plate, so as to realize the combination of the movement of the support plate and the movement of the air guide vanes, thereby further increasing the air guide angle at the air outlet of the air handling equipment. Furthermore, by integrating at least part of the drive component into the mounting cavity of the support plate, a stable installation environment can be provided for the transmission structure, avoiding the mechanism jamming caused by external airflow disturbance or foreign object intrusion, and improving the stability and reliability of the drive component operation.

[0021] In one possible implementation, the drive assembly further includes a first drive member, at least a portion of which is disposed within the mounting cavity and is drively connected to the air guide blade to drive the air guide blade to rotate relative to the support plate.

[0022] Thus, by setting up the first drive component, the air guide vanes can be controlled independently, which improves the accuracy of airflow regulation. Users can adjust the air delivery angle of the air guide vanes individually as needed. Furthermore, the combination of the first and second drive components provides a wider adjustment range and flexibility to achieve complex airflow patterns to adapt to different room layouts and usage scenarios. By adjusting the angles of the air guide vanes and the support plate separately, 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 units) using this air guide component, thereby improving overall energy efficiency. Because the first and second drive components are set up independently, individual drive components can be replaced or adjusted as needed during later maintenance without requiring large-scale adjustments to the entire system, thus reducing maintenance costs.

[0023] In one possible implementation, the support plate is plugged into the air guide vane.

[0024] Thus, the plug-in design allows the air guide vanes to be directly inserted into the support plate, simplifying the assembly process and improving assembly efficiency. Simultaneously, the plug-in connection achieves rigid fixation between the air guide vanes and the support plate through mechanical limiting, ensuring a stable relative motion between the air guide vanes and the support plate during rotation, reducing vibration or angular deviation caused by loose connections. Furthermore, the plug-in structure facilitates quick disassembly and replacement of the air guide vanes or angle adjustment, providing convenience for later maintenance or functional upgrades. The modular design of the plug-in part can also accommodate air guide vanes of different lengths or shapes, enhancing the versatility and expandability of the components and further optimizing the airflow regulation capabilities of the air handling equipment.

[0025] In one possible implementation, the support plate includes a first side plate and a second side plate located on opposite sides of the mounting cavity along the thickness direction of the support plate; the first side plate is provided with a pivot hole communicating with the mounting cavity; the guide vane includes a blade body and a blade shaft; the blade shaft is rotatably disposed through the pivot hole; the blade body is located on the side of the first side plate facing away from the second side plate; and the first drive member is drively connected to the blade shaft.

[0026] Thus, the pivot hole provided on the first side plate provides a precise rotation fulcrum for the blade shaft of the guide vane. The shaft hole mating ensures a stable connection between the blade body and the support plate, effectively separating the mounting cavity from the external space and preventing airflow or impurities from entering the mounting cavity, thus ensuring the cleanliness and operational stability of the first drive component. Simultaneously, the design of the blade shaft passing through the pivot hole aligns the rotation axis of the guide vane with the structural rigidity of the support plate, reducing radial offset or vibration during rotation.

[0027] In one possible implementation, the first driving component includes a first motor and a first transmission component; wherein, the first transmission component is disposed within the mounting cavity, and the first transmission component is transmittedly connected to the blade shafts of the plurality of guide vanes, and the first motor is transmittedly connected to the first transmission component; the first motor drives the plurality of guide vanes to rotate through the first transmission component.

[0028] In this way, the first motor synchronously drives the blade shafts of multiple guide vanes through the first transmission component. This allows for centralized control of the rotation of all guide vanes using a single power source, reducing the structural complexity and energy costs associated with independent multi-motor drives. Furthermore, the mechanical linkage of the first transmission component ensures the synchronicity and consistency of the rotation angles of the multiple guide vanes, thereby improving the uniformity and adjustment accuracy of airflow guidance. Simultaneously, the first transmission component is built into the mounting cavity, and its enclosed environment effectively isolates it from external airflow disturbances and dust accumulation, preventing jamming or wear due to external interference and ensuring the long-term stability of the guide vane rotation. In addition, the centralized drive structure simplifies subsequent maintenance procedures; only the first transmission component needs to be adjusted or replaced to restore overall functionality, significantly reducing maintenance costs and extending the service life of the air guide assembly.

[0029] In one possible implementation, the blade shaft includes: a gear portion located within the mounting cavity, the gear portion having a plurality of meshing teeth; a through portion rotatably passing through the pivot hole; the first transmission member includes a first rack extending along the arrangement direction of the plurality of guide vanes, the first rack meshing with the gear portions of the plurality of blade shafts respectively.

[0030] Thus, by placing the gear section within the mounting cavity and engaging its meshing teeth with the first rack, the extended layout of the first rack along the direction of the guide vane arrangement enables synchronous linkage of the gear sections on multiple vane shafts. The first rack drives all guide vanes to rotate synchronously, ensuring consistent rotation angles for each vane, thereby eliminating airflow guidance deviations caused by independent drives and improving airflow uniformity and adjustment accuracy. Simultaneously, the gear and rack meshing transmission structure operates within the enclosed environment of the mounting cavity, preventing dust or foreign objects from entering the meshing gap and causing jamming or wear. Furthermore, the rigid meshing reduces transmission losses, enhancing the immediacy and stability of the guide vane rotation response.

[0031] In one possible implementation, the first motor includes a first motor body and a first output shaft; the first output shaft is connected to the first rack, and the first motor body is adapted to drive the first output shaft to extend and retract to drive the first rack to reciprocate along the arrangement direction of the plurality of guide vanes; or, the first output shaft is connected to the blade shaft of one of the guide vanes, and the first motor body is adapted to drive the first output shaft to rotate to drive the guide vane connected to the first output shaft to rotate.

[0032] Thus, when the first output shaft drives the first rack to reciprocate along the direction of the guide vane arrangement via telescopic motion, the meshing transmission between the first rack and the gears of multiple blade shafts enables synchronous linkage of all guide vanes. Linear motion is directly converted into rotational motion of the gears, shortening the transmission chain and reducing energy loss, ensuring the synchronicity and stability of the angle adjustment of multiple guide vanes. Furthermore, when the first output shaft is directly connected to the blade shaft of a specific guide vane and drives its rotation, that blade shaft can act as the driving shaft, driving other guide vanes to follow suit, forming a master-slave drive structure. This simplifies the complexity of synchronous control of multiple guide vanes.

[0033] In one possible implementation, the first motor body is located on the side of the second side plate facing away from the first side plate, the second side plate is provided with a first shaft hole, and the first output shaft passes through the first shaft hole.

[0034] Thus, by placing the first motor body externally on the side of the second side plate facing away from the mounting cavity, the first motor body is physically isolated from the transmission structure inside the mounting cavity. This fully utilizes the space outside the support plate to optimize the overall compactness of the layout, while preventing heat or vibration generated during motor operation from being directly transferred to the inside of the mounting cavity, ensuring the stability of the meshing transmission between the first rack and gear. Simultaneously, the first shaft hole, as the only through-channel between the first output shaft and the transmission components inside the mounting cavity, ensures the coaxiality between the first output shaft and the first rack or active blade shaft through precise positioning, reducing radial offset or frictional loss during transmission, thereby improving the response accuracy and synchronization of the guide vane angle adjustment. Furthermore, the external design of the first motor body facilitates heat dissipation and does not occupy internal space within the mounting cavity, providing more possibilities for the arrangement of other transmission components or functional modules.

[0035] In one possible implementation, the air guide assembly further includes: a mounting bracket disposed at the air outlet, the mounting bracket including a first mounting plate, the adjustment assembly disposed on the first mounting plate, the mounting bracket further defining a receiving cavity, the receiving cavity being separated from the adjustment assembly by the first mounting plate, the drive assembly disposed in the receiving cavity, and at least a portion of the structure of the drive assembly passing through the first mounting plate and being drively connected to the adjustment assembly.

[0036] Thus, by integrating the drive assembly entirely within the housing cavity of the mounting bracket and physically isolating it from the regulating assembly by the first mounting plate, an independent functional zone is formed. This effectively isolates the drive assembly from the direct impact of high-speed airflow from the outlet, preventing airflow disturbances or temperature and humidity changes from affecting the operational stability of the drive components. Furthermore, the rigid support of the first mounting plate provides a stable mounting foundation for the drive assembly, reducing the risk of mechanical vibration being transmitted to the regulating assembly. In addition, the design of the mounting bracket facilitates the independent installation and maintenance of the drive and regulating assemblies. The drive assembly within the housing cavity can be directly inspected by removing the first mounting plate without disturbing the air guide vanes, significantly simplifying the maintenance process and reducing operating costs. Simultaneously, the partitioned structure allows the drive and regulating assemblies to use different materials or protective processes, further improving the overall environmental adaptability and service life of the air guide assembly, thereby ensuring efficient airflow for the air handling equipment.

[0037] In one possible implementation, the number of driving components is the same as the number of regulating components, and each regulating component corresponds to one driving component.

[0038] In this way, each regulating component has its own dedicated drive component, allowing for independent control of each component. This enables precise adjustment of airflow direction and intensity in each area as needed, and adapts to different room layouts and usage requirements. Users can flexibly adjust the settings of each regulating component according to specific environmental conditions to achieve a more uniform and effective airflow distribution, avoiding localized overcooling or overheating and improving overall comfort. This redundant design improves the system's reliability and stability; for example, if one drive component fails, the others can still function normally. Because each regulating component and drive component is independent, maintenance and troubleshooting become simpler, reducing maintenance time and costs.

[0039] Secondly, this application provides an air handling device, comprising: a device body having an air outlet; and an air guiding component as described in any of the above possible implementations, wherein the air guiding component is disposed at the air outlet, and the inner wall of the air outlet forms the mounting surface.

[0040] The air handling equipment provided in this application includes, but is not limited to, air conditioning equipment, air purifiers, and fresh air systems. By setting the air guide component of the first aspect, the air delivery area of ​​the air handling equipment can be expanded. Compared with the air guide plate in related technologies, the technical solution of this application can cover a larger air blowing area, thereby improving the user experience.

[0067] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of the embodiments of this application more apparent and understandable, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0068] Traditional air conditioning systems typically adjust the airflow angle using blades. These blades are usually fixed to a specific area of ​​the air outlet, and a lever pulls on the blades to rotate them one-dimensionally, thus adjusting the airflow angle. For example, left-right oscillation achieves horizontal airflow, and up-down oscillation achieves vertical airflow. However, this adjustment method has a limited range, resulting in a small coverage area for the air conditioner and an inability to provide multi-directional zoned airflow, leading to a poor user experience.

[0069] In view of this, this application provides an air guide component and an air handling device. By setting an adjustment component and a drive component, and by driving at least a portion of the structure of the adjustment component to change position relative to the mounting surface through the drive component, at least a portion of the structure of the air guide component can be located outside the air outlet of the air handling device using the air guide component, thereby expanding the air blowing area of ​​the air guide component, so that the air handling device using the air guide component can cover a larger air blowing area, thereby improving the user experience.

[0070] The following combination Figures 1-13 The air handling equipment provided in the embodiments of this application will be described in detail.

[0071] refer to Figure 1This application provides an air handling device 200, which includes, but is not limited to, air conditioning equipment, humidifiers, dehumidifiers, ventilation equipment, heat recovery ventilation systems, air purifiers, and fresh air systems. In this application embodiment, an air conditioning device is used as an example for description, wherein the air conditioning equipment includes, but is not limited to, indoor air conditioning units, floor-standing air conditioners, central air conditioning systems, and ducted air conditioners. In this application embodiment, the type of air conditioning equipment is not further limited.

[0072] The following explanation uses an indoor air conditioning unit as an example. The air handling unit 200 may include a housing assembly, an airflow circulation system, a functional processing module, a control system, and additional modules. The housing assembly consists of a support frame and a detachable panel, with air inlets / outlets 310 on the panel. The airflow circulation system includes a fan (such as a cross-flow, centrifugal, or axial type) and a drive motor, guiding airflow through air ducts. The functional processing module is configured differently depending on the equipment type (such as an evaporator / condenser in an air conditioner, a water mist generating unit in a humidifier, or a filter assembly in an air purifier) ​​to achieve temperature and humidity regulation or air purification. The control system integrates environmental sensors, a communication module, and a main control unit to achieve intelligent switching of air delivery modes (such as wide-area uniform air delivery, directional avoidance, or dynamic sweeping). Additional modules may include filters, sterilization devices, or heat recovery structures to adapt to energy-saving, purification, and other extended needs.

[0073] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 The air handling unit 200 may include a unit body 300, which includes an air outlet 310. An air guide assembly 100 is provided at the air outlet 310. Part of the structure of the air guide assembly 100 can change position relative to the mounting surface m, thereby adjusting the air delivery angle of the air outlet 310 to deliver air to different angles, thereby improving the coverage of air conditioning and enhancing the user experience.

[0074] When the air handling unit 200 is an air conditioning unit, the air outlet 310 can be adjusted by the air guide component 100, thereby expanding the coverage angle of the air conditioning unit. In other words, it can deliver air to more areas to achieve air temperature regulation. It can also deliver air precisely at more angles, improving the accuracy of air temperature regulation and enhancing the user experience.

[0075] The air guide assembly provided in the embodiments of this application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0076] In this embodiment, for ease of description, the extension direction of the adjustment component 10 is taken as the x-direction, and the width direction of the air handling device 200 is taken as the y-direction. The extension direction of the guide vane 12 is taken as the z-direction. Of course, in other embodiments, the extension direction of the guide vane 12 may be set at a certain angle to the z-direction. In this embodiment, the setting direction of the guide vane 12 is not further limited.

[0077] refer to Figure 1-5 , Figure 8-13 This application provides an air guide assembly 100, which can be installed at the air outlet 310 of an air handling unit 200. The air guide assembly 100 may include an adjustment assembly 10 and a drive assembly 20. The adjustment assembly 10 may include a support plate 11 and a plurality of air guide blades 12. The support plate 11 is provided with a rack, and the plurality of air guide blades 12 may be arranged along the extending direction of the support plate 11, for example, spaced apart or adjacent to each other. Furthermore, the air guide blades 12 are rotatable relative to the support plate 11. The drive assembly 20 is drively connected to the adjustment assembly 10.

[0078] Specifically, the drive assembly 20 is connected to the air guide blade 12 to drive the air guide blade 12 to rotate relative to the support plate 11. When the air guide blade 12 rotates, the air outlet direction can be adjusted.

[0079] The drive assembly 20 also includes a drive gear that meshes with the rack. In this way, the drive assembly 20 can drive the support plate 11 to change position relative to the mounting surface m. Here, the shape of the rack can be set according to the movement trajectory of the support plate 11. For example, when the support plate 11 is translating, the rack can be extended along the translation direction of the support plate 11 and formed into a straight line; when the support plate 11 is rotating, the rack can be extended around the rotation center of the support plate 11 (the base point below) and formed into an arc. Of course, this embodiment does not limit this.

[0080] It should be noted that "mounting surface m" as the mounting surface m of the air guide assembly 100 refers to the mounting surface m of the air guide assembly 100 when it is installed on the air handling unit 200, and this mounting surface m extends along the extension direction of the regulating assembly 10. This mounting surface m can serve as a reference for the initial position of the air guide assembly 100 or the regulating assembly 10.

[0081] refer to Figure 9 , Figure 11The angle adjusted by the adjusting component 10 relative to the mounting surface m is defined as the first air supply angle α1. "First air supply angle α1" refers to the angle by which the adjusting component 10 moves relative to its initial position (i.e., the mounting surface m). In other words, by allowing the adjusting component 10 to move relative to the mounting surface m, the adjusting component 10 can adjust the range of the first air supply angle α1. By changing the range of the first air supply angle α1, users can adjust the air supply direction of the air guide component 100 as needed, thereby meeting different customer requirements.

[0082] It is understood that the drive assembly 20 and the support plate 11 are driven by a drive gear and rack to achieve transmission, thereby driving the support plate 11 to change position relative to the mounting surface m. On the one hand, this makes the displacement process of the support plate 11 smoother and more stable, makes it easier to control the displacement speed of the support plate 11, has high reliability, and is simple in structure and easy to implement. On the other hand, it allows the support plate 11 to be located outside the air outlet 310 of the air handling equipment 200 using the air guide assembly 100. The portion of the air guide assembly 100 located outside the air outlet 310 is less obstructed by the side wall of the air outlet 310, thereby increasing the blowing area of ​​the air guide assembly 100. This allows the air handling equipment 200 using the air guide assembly 100 to cover a larger blowing area. Compared with the related technology of adjusting the air delivery angle by a guide plate, the technical solution of this application can cover a larger blowing area, improve the efficiency of air handling, and thus save energy.

[0083] Optionally, a mounting cavity 111 may be defined within the support plate 11. At least a portion of the structure of the drive assembly 20 is driveably connected to the guide vane 12 and the support plate 11 within the mounting cavity 111. The drive assembly 20 is used to drive the support plate 11 to change position relative to the mounting surface m.

[0084] By integrating at least a portion of the drive assembly 20 into the mounting cavity 111 of the support plate 11, a stable installation environment is provided for the transmission structure, preventing mechanical jamming caused by external airflow disturbances or foreign object intrusion, thus improving the stability and reliability of the drive assembly 20's operation. The design of at least a portion of the drive assembly 20 within the mounting cavity 111 reduces the impact of mechanical vibration on airflow accuracy through centralized transmission connections, ensuring the precision and consistency of the airflow guide vane 12's rotation angle. Furthermore, the enclosure effect of the mounting cavity 111 on the drive assembly 20 strengthens the physical protection of the connection structure, reduces the risk of mechanical wear, extends the component's service life, and further ensures the long-term stability of the airflow guide vane 12's adjustment function by reducing external environmental interference.

[0085] In one possible implementation, the drive assembly 20 includes a second drive member 22. At least a portion of the structure of the second drive member 22 may also be disposed within the mounting cavity 111. The second drive member 22 may be drively connected to the support plate 11 to drive the support plate 11 to change position relative to the mounting surface m (e.g., move in the y-direction away from the mounting surface m).

[0086] In one possible implementation, refer to Figure 8-13 The support plate 11 has a base point 13, and the rack can extend around the base point 13 to form an arc, thereby facilitating the second drive member 22 to drive the support plate 11 to rotate around the base point 13 so that the support plate 11 moves away from the mounting surface m.

[0087] For example, the support plate 11 of the adjustment assembly 10 rotates around the base point 13 so that the adjustment assembly 10 as a whole moves away from the mounting surface m (e.g., along the y direction). This can be a rotational movement with the base point 13 as the rotation base point. In this case, one end of the adjustment assembly 10 located at the base point 13 moves away from the mounting surface m, and the other end moves closer to the mounting surface m.

[0088] In other embodiments, while at least a portion of the structure of the adjusting component 10 rotates about the base point 13, it can also translate relative to the mounting surface m in a direction away from the mounting surface m, for example, translating along the y-direction in a direction away from the mounting surface m. In the embodiments of this application, the manner in which the adjusting component 10 rotates about the base point 13 to move at least a portion of the structure of the adjusting component 10 in a direction away from the mounting surface m is not further limited, as long as it allows the adjusting component 10 to move relative to the mounting surface m.

[0089] It should be noted that the location of the base point 13 may include, but is not limited to, a fixed location. The specific location of the base point 13 may be set according to the actual installation requirements. In this embodiment, the specific location of the base point 13 is not further limited.

[0090] Understandably, by setting a base point 13 and using it as the base point for rotating the support plate 11, the adjustment component 10 can rotate around this base point 13 as an axis. This base point 13 provides a stable reference point for the adjustment component 10, allowing the movement and adjustment of the adjustment component 10 to be performed relative to this base point 13, which helps ensure that the movement of the adjustment component 10 is more precise and controllable. After the adjustment component 10 rotates around the base point 13 by a certain angle, a portion of the structure of the adjustment component 10 can be located outside the air outlet 310 of the air handling equipment 200 using the air guide component 100, while another portion of the structure is located inside the air outlet 310. The area of ​​the portion of the air guide component 100 located outside the air outlet 310 that is blocked by the side wall of the air outlet 310 will be reduced, thereby increasing the blowing area of ​​the air guide component 100. In addition, by controlling the position of the base point 13, the size of the portion of the air guide assembly 100 located outside the air outlet 310 of the air handling equipment 200 on which the air guide assembly 100 is applied can be controlled, thereby controlling the air blowing area of ​​the air guide assembly 100 and improving the installation flexibility of the air guide assembly 100.

[0091] In one possible implementation, refer to Figure 2 , Figure 5-7 The second driving member 22 includes a second motor 222 and a second transmission member 221. At least a portion of the structure of the second transmission member 221 is formed as a rack; for example, the second transmission member 221 is an arc-shaped segment, or it is a disc-shaped component with the rack formed only on a portion of the disc's edge. The second transmission member 221 can be disposed within the mounting cavity 111 and fixedly connected to the second side plate 113. The second motor 222 can be driven by the second transmission member 221. The second motor 222 drives the second transmission member 221 to move, thereby causing at least a portion of the structure of the support plate 11 to rotate relative to the mounting surface m. The second motor 222 includes a second output shaft 224, and a drive gear is disposed on the second output shaft 224.

[0092] Understandably, by driving the second transmission component 221 to move via the second motor 222, the support plate 11 can rotate around the base point 13, ensuring a short and efficient power transmission path for adjusting the angle of the support plate 11 relative to the mounting surface m. Simultaneously, the second transmission component 221, built into the mounting cavity 111, effectively isolates it from external environmental interference. The transmission connection within the enclosed space enables precise control of the support plate 11's movement, preventing adjustment misalignment due to vibration or external impact, thereby improving the synchronicity and stability of the overall position adjustment of the support plate 11.

[0093] In one possible implementation, the second transmission member 221 may include a rack. The rack may be arc-shaped. For example, the rack may extend along the y-direction to drive the support plate 11 to move along the y-direction.

[0094] By incorporating a rack and pinion structure into the second transmission component 221, rotational motion can be converted into precise linear or angular motion, allowing the support plate 11 to be precisely adjusted within a set range, thereby achieving more precise airflow management. The rack and pinion provides smooth motion transitions, reducing vibrations and shocks that may occur during movement, and improving the smoothness and quietness of system operation. The rack and pinion can be customized according to specific design requirements to adapt to different space and motion requirements. This flexibility allows it to be well integrated into various types of air handling equipment 200.

[0095] Furthermore, the second motor 222 also includes a second motor body 223. The second motor body 223 can be disposed on one side of the second side plate 113. Specifically, the second motor body 223 can be disposed on the side of the second side plate 113 facing away from the first side plate 112. The second side plate 113 is provided with a second shaft hole 116. The second shaft hole 116 can extend circumferentially along the base point 13 to form an arc-shaped hole. The second output shaft 224 can pass through the second shaft hole 116. In addition, a drive gear is disposed at one end of the second output shaft 224 that extends into the mounting cavity 111. The drive gear meshes with the rack for transmission.

[0096] Understandably, after the second output shaft 224 of the second motor 222 passes through the arc-shaped hole into the mounting cavity 111, the meshing of the drive gear and rack at its end can form a transmission path along the circumference of the base point 13. Through the meshing of the drive gear and rack, the rotational motion of the second output shaft 224 of the second motor 222 is directly converted into the precise rotational adjustment of the support plate 11 around the base point 13. The matching design of the arc of the rack and the rotation trajectory of the base point 13 significantly reduces sliding friction or offset during the transmission process, ensuring the smoothness and continuity of the overall rotation angle of the support plate 11, thereby improving the accuracy and range of the air outlet 310 direction adjustment. At the same time, the second motor body 223 is externally placed on the side of the second side plate 113 facing away from the mounting cavity 111, which not only avoids the influence of the operating heat of the second motor body 223 on the internal transmission structure, but also constrains the movement trajectory of the second output shaft 224 through the guiding effect of the arc-shaped hole, so that the meshing of the drive gear and rack is always in a stable contact state, reducing vibration or angle error caused by transmission clearance. In addition, the arc-shaped rack design can also be adapted to the adjustment requirements of the bearing plate 11 with different rotation radii or angles, thereby enhancing the versatility and adjustment flexibility of the air guide assembly 100.

[0097] In one possible implementation, the regulating assembly 10 further includes guide vanes 12. There can be multiple guide vanes 12. These multiple guide vanes 12 can be arranged along the extending direction of the support plate 11. The guide vanes 12 can rotate relative to the support plate 11. Further, at least a portion of the drive assembly 20 is driveably connected to the guide vanes 12 within the mounting cavity 111. Alternatively, the drive assembly 20 is driveably connected to the guide vanes 12 within the mounting cavity 111. In this way, the drive assembly 20 can drive the guide vanes 12 to rotate relative to the support plate 11.

[0098] For example, the support plate 11 can be a plate-like structure used to support the air guide vanes 12 and facilitate connection with structures such as the drive assembly 20. In some embodiments, the support plate 11 can be provided with multiple ventilation holes to facilitate air delivery. In this application embodiment, the specific structure of the support plate 11 is not further limited.

[0099] By setting up the support plate 11, a stable mounting base can be provided for the air guide blade 12, ensuring that the air guide blade 12 remains stable during adjustment, which helps to reduce vibration and noise. The modular design of the support plate 11 and the air guide blade 12 reduces the difficulty of installation and subsequent maintenance. Users can replace or adjust individual air guide blades 12 as needed without making large-scale adjustments to the entire air guide assembly 100.

[0100] By setting multiple air guide vanes 12 at intervals, users can more flexibly adjust the angle of each vane to precisely control the direction and intensity of airflow to adapt to different room layouts and usage needs. Multiple air guide vanes 12 can also promote indoor air mixing, improve air quality and comfort, make airflow more evenly distributed, avoid local areas being too cold or too hot, and reduce dead zones and stagnant areas by optimizing the airflow path, thereby enhancing the user experience.

[0101] It should be noted that the number of air guide blades 12 can be determined based on the dimensions of the support plate 11 in the extension direction and the arrangement density of the air guide blades 12. Therefore, the number of air guide blades 12 is not limited in this embodiment.

[0102] It should be noted that the number of air guide blades 12 can be determined based on the dimensions of the support plate 11 in the extension direction and the arrangement density of the air guide blades 12. Therefore, the number of air guide blades 12 is not limited in this embodiment.

[0103] In one possible implementation, refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 8-13The drive assembly 20 also includes a first drive member 21. At least a portion of the structure of the first drive member 21 may be disposed within the mounting cavity 111. The first drive member 21 may also be driveably connected to the guide vane 12. The first drive member 21 can drive the guide vane 12 to rotate relative to the support plate 11. For example, the first drive member 21 is used to drive the guide vane 12 to change position relative to the support plate 11, such as driving the guide vane 12 to translate and / or rotate relative to the support plate 11, so that the guide vane 12 can swing.

[0104] For example, the first driving component 21 is connected to the guide vane 12 via a transmission, and the first driving component 21 drives the guide vane 12 to rotate. This configuration can reduce the driving difficulty of the guide vane 12, simplify the structure of the first driving component 21, and increase the range of motion of the guide vane 12, thereby improving the swing effect.

[0105] In the extending direction (x-direction) of the support plate 11, the first drive member 21 and the second drive member 22 can be arranged at intervals. By arranging the first drive member 21 and the second drive member 22 at intervals, the space of the support plate 11 can be utilized more effectively, mutual interference between the drive members can be avoided, and the reliability and stability of the air guide assembly 100 can be improved. In addition, it also helps to improve the heat dissipation effect, prevent performance degradation or damage caused by overheating, thereby extending the service life of the drive assembly 20 and improving the overall reliability of the system.

[0106] Understandably, by configuring the drive assembly 20 to include a first drive element 21 and a second drive element 22, the air guide vane 12 and the support plate 11 can be controlled independently, which improves the accuracy of airflow regulation. Users can adjust the air delivery angle range of the air guide vane 12 or the support plate 11 individually as needed. The combination of the first drive element 21 and the second drive element 22 provides a wider adjustment range and flexibility to achieve complex airflow patterns to adapt to different room layouts and usage scenarios. By adjusting the angles of the air guide vane 12 and the support plate 11 separately, a more uniform and effective airflow distribution can be achieved. Precise airflow control can reduce the operating time and energy consumption of the air handling equipment 200 (e.g., air conditioning equipment) using this air guide assembly 100, thereby improving overall energy efficiency. Since the first drive element 21 and the second drive element 22 are independently configured, individual drive elements can be replaced or adjusted as needed during later maintenance without requiring large-scale adjustments to the entire system, thus reducing maintenance costs.

[0107] In one possible implementation, the support plate 11 can be plugged into the guide vane 12. Optionally, the plug-in connection can be designed as a snap-fit ​​type, a sliding rail type, etc. For example, a dovetail groove or a sliding rail can be provided on the support plate 11, and the connecting end of the guide vane 12 can form a corresponding matching protrusion or fitting part, so as to achieve quick positioning and fixation by sliding or pressing.

[0108] Understandably, the plug-in design allows the air guide vane 12 to be directly inserted into the support plate 11, simplifying the assembly process and improving assembly efficiency. Simultaneously, the plug-in connection achieves rigid fixation between the air guide vane 12 and the support plate 11 through mechanical limiting, ensuring a stable relative motion between the air guide vane 12 and the support plate 11 during rotation, reducing vibration or angular deviation caused by loose connections. Furthermore, the plug-in structure facilitates quick disassembly and replacement or angle adjustment of the air guide vane 12, providing convenience for later maintenance or functional upgrades. The modular design of the plug-in part also allows for adaptation to air guide vanes 12 of different lengths or shapes, enhancing the versatility and expandability of the components and further optimizing the airflow regulation capability of the air handling equipment 200.

[0109] In one possible implementation, refer to Figure 3-5 , Figure 7 The support plate 11 includes a first side plate 112 and a second side plate 113. The first side plate 112 and the second side plate 113 are disposed opposite to each other. The first side plate 112 and the second side plate 113 can be located on opposite sides of the mounting cavity 111 along the thickness direction of the support plate 11. Specifically, the first side plate 112 is provided with a pivot hole 114. The pivot hole 114 can communicate with the mounting cavity 111. Further, the guide vane 12 includes a blade body 121 and a blade shaft 122. The blade shaft 122 is rotatably disposed through the pivot hole 114. The blade body 121 is located on the side of the first side plate 112 facing away from the second side plate 113. The first driving member 21 can be drivenly connected to the blade shaft 122 to drive the guide vane 12 to rotate.

[0110] Furthermore, the support plate 11 may also include side panels. The side panels surround the first side panel 112 and the second side panel 113 to form a mounting cavity 111. The support plate 11 also has multiple ribs inside. These ribs can divide the mounting cavity 111 into multiple sub-mounting cavities. The first driving member 21 and the second driving member 22 can be disposed in the same sub-mounting cavity. Alternatively, the first driving member 21 and the second driving member 22 can be disposed in different sub-mounting cavities.

[0111] By providing movable guide vanes 12 on the adjusting assembly 10, the air delivery direction of the air guiding assembly 100 can be adjusted by changing the angle of the guide vanes 12. (Reference) Figure 13The angle at which the air guide vane 12 can be adjusted is defined as the second air delivery angle α2. In other words, the air guide vane 12 can change the range of the second air delivery angle α2. This allows for control of the air delivery angle of the air guide assembly 100 through two-dimensional adjustment, enabling more precise control of the airflow direction. This helps optimize air distribution based on room layout and user needs, adapting to different room shapes and sizes and providing a more uniform temperature distribution. When this air guide assembly 100 is applied to air conditioning equipment, it prevents cold or warm air from blowing directly onto the human body, reducing discomfort and improving user comfort. By optimizing the airflow path, the operating time and energy consumption of the air conditioner can be reduced, thereby improving overall energy efficiency. This helps reduce electricity consumption and operating costs.

[0112] By adjusting the air outlet 310's airflow angle using the air guide assembly 100, the air outlet 310 can be prevented from blowing air directly onto areas where people are active. This avoids direct airflow into areas where people are present, preventing discomfort or health problems caused by cold air blowing directly on the body. Furthermore, adjusting the air guide assembly 100 allows the air outlet 310's airflow angle to continuously change, preventing the air conditioner from blowing directly in one direction for extended periods, thus preventing direct airflow from the air conditioner.

[0113] Understandably, the pivot hole 114 provided by the first side plate 112 can provide a precise rotation fulcrum for the blade shaft 122 of the guide vane 12. The shaft hole mating enables a stable connection between the blade body 121 and the support plate 11, effectively separating the mounting cavity 111 from the external space, preventing airflow or impurities from entering the mounting cavity 111, and ensuring the cleanliness and operational stability of the first drive component 21. Simultaneously, the design of the blade shaft 122 passing through the pivot hole 114 ensures that the rotation axis of the guide vane 12 is rigidly aligned with the structure of the support plate 11, reducing radial offset or vibration during rotation.

[0114] In one possible implementation, refer to Figure 4-7 The first driving component 21 includes a first motor 211 and a first transmission component 212. The first transmission component 212 can be disposed within the mounting cavity 111. The first transmission component 212 can be driven to drive the blade shafts 122 of the multiple guide vanes 12. The first motor 211 is driven to drive the multiple guide vanes 12 synchronously.

[0115] In some embodiments, the guide vane 12 can function the same as a blade in the prior art, that is, it can swing left and right in the extension direction of the adjustment component 10. In other embodiments, the guide vane 12 can also swing in multiple directions, for example, the guide vane 12 can swing in the x-direction, or in the z-direction, or in a direction that forms a certain angle with the z-direction, etc.

[0116] Of course, it can be understood that when the guide vane 12 can swing relative to the air handling device 200 in the z-direction or at a certain angle to the z-direction, the drive assembly 20 can also be provided with a third drive member to drive the guide vane 12 to swing relative to the air handling device 200 in the z-direction or at a certain angle to the z-direction. Specifically, the third drive member can drive the support plate 11 to swing in the z-direction or at a certain angle to the z-direction, and the third drive member can also drive the guide vane 12 to swing in the z-direction or at a certain angle to the z-direction. In this embodiment, the specific implementation method for realizing the swing of the guide vane 12 in the z-direction or at a certain angle to the z-direction is not further limited.

[0117] Understandably, the first motor 211 synchronously drives the blade shafts 122 of multiple guide vanes 12 via the first transmission component 212. This allows for centralized control of the rotation of all guide vanes 12 using a single power source, reducing the structural complexity and energy costs associated with independent multi-motor drives. Furthermore, the mechanical linkage of the first transmission component 212 ensures the synchronicity and consistency of the rotation angles of the multiple guide vanes 12, thereby improving the uniformity and adjustment accuracy of airflow guidance. Simultaneously, the first transmission component 212 is built into the mounting cavity 111, whose enclosed environment effectively isolates it from external airflow disturbances and dust accumulation, preventing jamming or wear due to external interference and ensuring the long-term stability of the guide vane rotation. Moreover, the centralized drive structure simplifies subsequent maintenance procedures; only the first transmission component 212 needs to be adjusted or replaced to restore overall functionality, significantly reducing maintenance costs and extending the service life of the air guide assembly 100.

[0118] In one possible implementation, refer to Figure 5 The blade shaft 122 includes a gear portion 123 and a through portion 124. The gear portion 123 is located within the mounting cavity 111. The gear portion 123 has multiple meshing teeth. The gear portion 123 can mesh with a first rack through the meshing teeth. Furthermore, the through portion 124 is rotatably inserted through the pivot hole 114. The first transmission member 212 includes a first rack. The first rack can extend along the arrangement direction of the multiple guide vanes 12. The first rack meshes with the gear portions 123 of the multiple blade shafts 122 respectively to achieve synchronous movement of the multiple guide vanes 12.

[0119] It is understandable that by placing the gear portion 123 within the mounting cavity 111 and having its meshing teeth engage with the first rack, the extended layout of the first rack along the arrangement direction of the guide vanes 12 enables synchronous linkage of the gear portions 123 of multiple blade shafts 122. The first rack drives all guide vanes 12 to rotate synchronously, ensuring that the rotation angle of each guide vane 12 is consistent, thereby eliminating airflow guidance deviation caused by independent drive and improving airflow uniformity and adjustment accuracy. Simultaneously, the gear and rack meshing transmission structure operates in the enclosed environment of the mounting cavity 111, preventing dust or foreign objects from entering the meshing gap and causing jamming or wear. Furthermore, the rigid meshing reduces transmission loss, enhancing the immediacy and stability of the guide vane 12's rotational response.

[0120] In one possible implementation, refer to Figure 2 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 The first motor 211 includes a first motor body 213 and a first output shaft 214. The first output shaft 214 can be connected to a first rack. The first motor body 213 can drive the first output shaft 214 to perform telescopic movements, and the first output shaft 214 can drive the first rack to reciprocate along the arrangement direction of the multiple guide vanes 12, so as to adjust the second air delivery angle α2 of the multiple guide vanes 12.

[0121] Alternatively, the first output shaft 214 can be connected to the blade shaft 122 of one of the guide vanes 12. The first motor body 213 is configured to drive the first output shaft 214 to rotate, thereby driving the guide vane 12 connected to the first output shaft 214 to rotate. When the first motor body 213 drives the guide vane 12 connected to the first output shaft 214 to rotate, the gear portion 123 of the guide vane 12 meshes with the first rack through meshing teeth, forcing the first rack to produce a linear displacement along the arrangement direction of the guide vane 12. Since the first rack simultaneously maintains meshing with the gear portions 123 of the other guide vanes 12, the linear motion of the first rack will synchronously drive the gear portions 123 of all other guide vanes 12 to rotate around their respective axes, thereby realizing the linkage rotation of multiple guide vanes 12.

[0122] Understandably, when the first output shaft 214 drives the first rack to reciprocate along the arrangement direction of the guide vanes 12 through telescopic motion, the meshing transmission between the first rack and the gears 123 of the multiple blade shafts 122 can achieve synchronous linkage of all guide vanes 12. Linear motion is directly converted into the rotational action of the gears 123, shortening the transmission chain and reducing energy loss, thus ensuring the synchronicity and stability of the angle adjustment of multiple guide vanes 12. Furthermore, when the first output shaft 214 is directly connected to the blade shaft 122 of a certain guide vane 12 and drives its rotation, the blade shaft 122 of that guide vane 12 can act as the driving shaft, driving other guide vanes 12 to follow suit, forming a master-slave drive structure, which simplifies the complexity of synchronous control of multiple guide vanes 12.

[0123] In one possible implementation, refer to Figure 7 The first motor body 213 is disposed on one side of the second side plate 113. Specifically, the first motor body 213 is disposed on the side of the second side plate 113 facing away from the first side plate 112. Further, the second side plate 113 is provided with a first shaft hole 115. The first output shaft 214 can pass through the first shaft hole 115. In this way, the first motor body 213 can be externally positioned on the side of the second side plate 113 facing away from the mounting cavity 111.

[0124] It is understandable that by placing the first motor body 213 externally on the side of the second side plate 113 facing away from the mounting cavity 111, the first motor body 213 is physically isolated from the transmission structure inside the mounting cavity 111. This fully utilizes the space outside the support plate 11 to optimize the overall compactness of the layout, while preventing the heat or vibration generated during motor operation from being directly transferred to the inside of the mounting cavity 111, ensuring the stability of the meshing transmission between the first rack and gear 123. Simultaneously, the first shaft hole 115, as the only through-channel between the first output shaft 214 and the transmission components inside the mounting cavity 111, ensures the coaxiality between the first output shaft 214 and the first rack or active blade shaft through precise positioning, reducing radial offset or frictional loss during transmission, thereby improving the response accuracy and synchronization of the guide vane 12 angle adjustment. Furthermore, the external design of the first motor body 213 facilitates heat dissipation and does not occupy the internal space of the mounting cavity 111, providing more possibilities for the arrangement of other transmission components or functional modules. In one possible implementation, refer to... Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 6The air guide assembly 100 also includes a mounting bracket 30. The mounting bracket 30 is disposed at the air outlet 310 of the air handling unit 200. The mounting bracket 30 includes a first mounting plate 31, which may be a top plate of the mounting bracket 30. The adjustment assembly 10 may be disposed on the first mounting plate 31. The mounting bracket 30 also defines a receiving cavity 32. The receiving cavity 32 and the adjustment assembly 10 may be separated by the first mounting plate 31. Furthermore, the drive assembly 20 is disposed within the receiving cavity 32, and at least a portion of the structure of the drive assembly 20 passes through the first mounting plate 31 and is driveably connected to the adjustment assembly 10. For example, the first transmission member 212 and the second transmission member 221 of the drive assembly 20 may pass through the first mounting plate 31 and be driveably connected to the adjustment assembly 10.

[0125] Understandably, by integrating the drive assembly 20 entirely into the receiving cavity 32 of the mounting bracket 30 and physically isolating it from the regulating assembly 10 by the first mounting plate 31, an independent functional zone is formed. This effectively isolates the drive assembly 20 from the direct impact of the high-speed airflow from the outlet 310, preventing airflow disturbances or temperature and humidity changes from affecting the operational stability of the drive component. Furthermore, the rigid support of the first mounting plate 31 provides a stable mounting foundation for the drive assembly 20, reducing the risk of mechanical vibration being transmitted to the regulating assembly 10. In addition, the design of the mounting bracket 30 facilitates the independent installation and maintenance of the drive assembly 20 and the regulating assembly 10. The drive assembly 20 within the receiving cavity 32 can be directly inspected by removing the first mounting plate 31 without interfering with the air guide vanes 12, significantly simplifying the maintenance process and reducing operating costs. Simultaneously, the partitioned structure allows the drive assembly 20 and the regulating assembly 10 to use different materials or protective processes, further improving the overall environmental adaptability and service life of the air guide assembly 100, thereby ensuring the efficient airflow of the air handling equipment 200.

[0126] It should be noted that the positions and orientations of the first driving component 21 and the second driving component 22 shown in the figure are only schematic diagrams and should not be used as a reference for actual installation. The actual installation position and orientation should be based on whether it can achieve its function. In this embodiment, the position and orientation of the first driving component 21 are not further limited.

[0127] The above embodiments describe an embodiment in which the adjustment component 10 is a single component. Of course, in other embodiments, multiple adjustment components 10 can be provided to increase the adjustment flexibility and adaptability of the air guide component 100.

[0128] In one possible implementation, refer to Figure 10-13 The number of adjustment components 10 is multiple (two adjustment components 10 are shown in the figure). The number of drive components 20 is the same as the number of adjustment components 10, and each adjustment component 10 corresponds to one drive component 20.

[0129] Understandably, each regulating component 10 has a dedicated drive component 20, allowing for independent control of each component. This enables precise adjustment of airflow direction and intensity in each area as needed, adapting to different room layouts and usage requirements. Users can flexibly adjust the settings of each regulating component 10 according to specific environmental conditions to achieve a more uniform and effective airflow distribution, preventing localized overcooling or overheating and improving overall comfort. This redundant design enhances system reliability and stability; for example, if one drive component 20 fails, the others can still function normally. Because each regulating component 10 and drive component 20 is independent, maintenance and troubleshooting become simpler, reducing maintenance time and costs.

[0130] For example, the number of adjustment components 10 can be two, wherein the two adjustment components 10 are spaced apart along the extension direction of the adjustment components 10.

[0131] By setting two regulating components 10, the system provides flexible airflow control and convenient maintenance while maintaining efficient and reliable operation, thus enhancing the user experience. It also simplifies the structure of the air guide assembly 100, thereby reducing costs. The spacing makes each regulating component 10 more accessible, facilitating installation, maintenance, and inspection. Users can more easily inspect, replace, or repair components without having to disassemble other parts.

[0132] Of course, in other embodiments, the number of adjustment components 10 may be three, four, five or more. In this embodiment, the number of adjustment components 10 in the air guide assembly 100 is not further limited.

[0133] In one possible implementation, the air guide assembly 100 may further include a control device (not shown in the figure). The control device is electrically connected to the drive assembly 20 and is used to control the drive assembly 20.

[0134] For example, the control device can be electrically or signal-connected to both the first motor 211 and the second motor 222, so as to control the first motor 211 and the second motor 222 respectively to adjust the range of the first air delivery angle α1 and the range of the second air delivery angle α2. Additionally, when the guide vane 12 can oscillate in the z-direction or in a direction forming a certain angle with the z-direction, the control device can also control the guide vane 12 to oscillate in the z-direction or in a direction forming a certain angle with the z-direction. In this embodiment, the control method of the control device on the drive assembly 20 is not further limited.

[0135] By setting up a control device, the drive assembly 20 can be precisely controlled, allowing users to adjust the angle of the guide vanes 12 and the direction of the support plate 11 as needed, thereby achieving more precise airflow management. The control device can achieve automated operation, automatically adjusting airflow settings based on preset programs or sensor inputs (such as temperature, humidity, personnel activity, etc.), improving the system's intelligence level.

[0136] In one possible implementation, the control device is used to synchronously control the drive components 20 corresponding to the multiple adjustment components 10. That is, the first air delivery angle α1 range of the different adjustment components 10 can be the same.

[0137] It should be noted that the control device is used to synchronously control the drive components 20 corresponding to the multiple adjustment components 10. This means that when adjusting the air guide component 100, the drive components 20 of the multiple air guide components 100 are controlled simultaneously to ensure that the adjustment angle of the support plate 11 is the same. See [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 10 As shown, after different adjustment components 10 have adjusted the first air supply angle α1 range, the extension directions of the different adjustment components 10 are in a state of near parallelism. Here, after multiple different adjustment components 10 have adjusted the first air supply angle α1 range, the adjustment of the second air supply angle α2 range is not further limited. The second air supply angle α2 range of different adjustment components 10 can be the same or different, and can be determined according to specific needs.

[0138] This configuration ensures that the range of the first air supply angle α1 of the different regulating components 10 is consistent, resulting in a more uniform airflow distribution and helping to maintain a consistent temperature and comfort throughout the room. Since all regulating components 10 have the same range of first air supply angle α1, the complexity of the control system is reduced, simplifying the control algorithm and hardware design, and lowering system costs and maintenance difficulty. A unified range of first air supply angle α1 provides a consistent user experience, avoiding problems such as localized temperature differences or uneven airflow caused by different angle settings. Because all regulating components 10 have the same angle setting, the installation and commissioning process is faster and simpler. Users or installers do not need to adjust the angle of each component individually.

[0139] In some other embodiments, the control device is used to control the drive components 20 corresponding to the plurality of adjustment components 10 respectively, that is, the range of the first air delivery angle α1 of different adjustment components 10 may also be different.

[0140] For example, see Figure 11 As shown, some of the multiple adjustment components 10 are rotated to the range of the first air supply angle α1, while others remain in their initial unadjusted state. Figure 12As shown, multiple adjustment components 10 can move in different directions. When different adjustment components 10 have completed the adjustment of the first air supply angle α1 range, the extension directions of the support plates 11 of the different adjustment components 10 are set at an angle. Figure 11 and Figure 12 The diagram only shows a schematic of the air guide assembly 100 including two adjustment components 10. When there are more adjustment components 10, there will be more adjustment methods, which will not be described in detail here.

[0141] By controlling the drive components 20 corresponding to multiple adjustment components 10 individually, personalized airflow adjustment can be performed in different areas of the room to meet the comfort needs of different users, especially in large spaces or multi-functional areas. Furthermore, in multi-functional spaces (such as conference rooms, open-plan offices, etc.), different ranges of the first air supply angle α1 can provide suitable airflow conditions for different activity areas, meeting diverse usage needs. By adjusting the range of the first air supply angle α1 of each adjustment component 10, the problem of uneven temperature within the room can be solved more effectively. For example, special adjustments can be made for areas with direct sunlight or areas near doors and windows. By precisely controlling the airflow direction in each area, unnecessary energy consumption can be reduced, thereby improving the overall energy efficiency of the system and helping to reduce operating costs and energy consumption.
