Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] With the continuous improvement and innovation of household air conditioners, dust-free air conditioners have emerged. They realize the air intake function of the air conditioner during operation and close the air intake when the air conditioner is not working, preventing bacteria and dust in the environment from entering the air conditioner, which helps to ensure the cleanliness of the air output from the air conditioner and protect the healthy air that people breathe.

[0003] The existing wall-mounted air conditioner has a swing blade at the air inlet connected to the motor shaft via an integral connector on one side. The motor drives the connector to move, which in turn drives the rocker arm to move, thereby driving the swing blade to rotate. The crank-connecting rod structure enables the synchronous operation of multiple swing blades, allowing air to enter the air conditioner during operation. When the air conditioner is not in use, the swing blade closes the air inlet, keeping the air conditioner's interior free from external environmental pollution and achieving a dust-free air conditioner.

[0004] During the air conditioning process, whether it is a dust-free air conditioner or a regular wall-mounted air conditioner, air is drawn in through the top and rear of the air conditioner. The air intake area and air intake direction are relatively fixed. The size of the overall air intake area is positively correlated with the air volume. However, the air intake area of ​​traditional air conditioners is limited, and the air volume is relatively small. The room temperature regulation depends on the air circulation in the room, and the overall temperature change time is long. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides an air conditioning intake component and an air conditioner, which solves the problem that the limited air intake area and small air volume of existing air conditioners result in excessively long time required to adjust the room temperature to the preset temperature.

[0021] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0022] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown in the figure, this utility model embodiment proposes an air conditioner air intake assembly, including a housing 1, a second opening, and a drive assembly. The housing 1 has a first opening at its top, and a first swashplate 2 is hingedly mounted at the first opening. The second opening is located on one side of the housing 1. The drive assembly is disposed inside the housing 1 and is used to synchronously drive the first swashplate 2 and the side swashplate 3 to open or close the first and second openings. The housing 1 also has a third opening, which is also located on one side of the housing 1 and below the second swashplate 12. A guide vane is provided at the third opening for opening or closing it. Specifically, the first and second openings are the air inlets of the air conditioner, and the third opening is the air outlet of the air conditioner. The third opening can be opened or closed by driving the guide vane through the existing drive mechanism of the indoor unit of the air conditioner, which will not be elaborated upon here. Both the first swing blade 2 and the side swing blade 3 are rotatably mounted on the housing 1 via the rotating shaft 11. When the user uses the air conditioner, the drive assembly starts and synchronously drives the first swing blade 2 and the side swing blade 3 to open the first opening and the second opening. By opening the first opening on the top of the housing 1 and the second opening on the side wall of the housing 1 through the drive assembly of this device, the air conditioner can simultaneously draw air from the top and the side, greatly increasing the air intake volume and thus accelerating the air circulation in the room. This indirectly allows the room temperature to quickly reach the preset temperature, improving the user experience. When the air conditioner is not in use, the drive assembly drives the first swing blade 2 and the side swing blade 3 again to close the first opening and the second opening, achieving the purpose of dust prevention.

[0023] like Figures 2 to 4As shown, the drive assembly further includes: a mounting box 4, which is fixedly disposed inside the housing 1. A motor 5 is fixedly disposed on the outer wall of the mounting box 4. A swing arm 6 is fixedly disposed after the output end of the motor 5 extends into the mounting box 4. A first connecting rod 7 and a second connecting rod 8 are hingedly disposed at the end of the swing arm 6 away from the motor 5. The end of the first connecting rod 7 away from the swing arm 6 is hinged to the side swing blade 3 through a drive rod 9. The end of the second connecting rod 8 away from the swing arm 6 is hinged to the first swing blade 2. Specifically, the first connecting rod 7 is hinged to the drive rod 9. The end of the drive rod 9 away from the first connecting rod 7 is fixed to the side swing blade 3. The mounting box 4 is located inside the housing 1. The mounting box 4 has multiple openings that communicate with the outside to facilitate the movement of the first connecting rod 7 and the second connecting rod 8. When the motor 5 starts, the output end of the motor 5 drives the swing arm 6 to rotate. As the swing arm 6 rotates, it drives the first connecting rod 7 to move towards the side swing blade 3, thereby pushing the side swing blade 3 to rotate around its hinge end, thus opening the second opening. The second connecting rod 8, driven by the swing arm 6, drives the first swing blade 2 to move around its hinge end, causing the first swing blade 2 to open the first opening. When the first and second openings are closed, the motor 5 rotates in the opposite direction. By using the motor 5 to drive the swing blade to rotate, a single drive source controls the movement of the first swing blade 2 and the side swing blade 3, achieving the purpose of synchronous drive. This saves costs while ensuring the normal operation of the air conditioner.

[0024] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, furthermore, both ends of the bottom of the first swing blade 2 are provided with first mounting plates 10, and each first mounting plate 10 has a rotating shaft 11 on its side wall. The end of the second connecting rod 8 away from the swing arm 6 is hinged to the first mounting plate 10, and the first swing blade 2 is rotatably mounted in the housing 1 via the rotating shaft 11. The first mounting plate 10 is perpendicular to the first swing blade 2, and the first swing blade 2 rotates via the rotating shaft 11 on the first mounting plate 10. In this embodiment, the first mounting plate 10 is trapezoidal in shape, and the end of the first mounting plate 10 away from the first swing blade 2 is hinged, thereby allowing the second connecting rod 8 to push the first swing blade 2 to rotate with less effort.

[0025] like Figures 2 to 4As shown, further, it also includes: at least one second swing blade 12, each second swing blade 12 is hingedly disposed at the first opening, each second swing blade 12 has a second mounting plate 13 at its bottom, and each second mounting plate 13 has one end of a third connecting rod 14 hingedly disposed on it, the other end of the third connecting rod 14 being hinged to the first mounting plate 10. In this embodiment, the second swing blade 12 is arranged side by side with the first swing blade 2 at the first opening. When the second connecting rod 8 drives the first mounting plate 10 and the first swing blade 2 to rotate, the first mounting plate 10 will pull the third connecting rod 14, thereby causing the third connecting rod 14 to also pull the second swing blade 12 to rotate around its hinged end, thereby achieving the synchronous swinging of the first swing blade 2 and the second swing blade 12 to open the first opening. This embodiment includes a first swing blade 2 and a second swing blade 12. The first opening is opened and closed by the first swing blade 2 and the second swing blade 12, which can minimize the width of the first swing blade 2 and the second swing blade 12. At the same time, when the first opening is opened to the required size, the first swing blade 2 does not need to rotate too much to avoid interference with the structure inside the housing 1.

[0026] like Figure 5 As shown, it further includes an extension frame 15, which is disposed on one side of the top of the mounting housing 1. The first swing blade 2 and the second swing blade 12 are both located within the extension frame 15. The extension frame 15 provides mounting space for the first swing blade 2 and the second swing blade 12, and also strengthens the top area of ​​the housing 1.

[0027] Furthermore, the extension frame 15 is integrally formed with the mounting box 4. Integrating the mounting box 4 with the extension frame 15 facilitates manufacturing and also allows for even load distribution, distributing the force across the entire housing 1.

[0028] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the motor 5 further includes a connecting lug 16 on its side wall, through which the motor 5 is screwed to the mounting box 4. This screw-based detachable connection between the motor 5 and the mounting box 4 facilitates subsequent maintenance and installation.

[0029] As an embodiment of this utility model, an air conditioner is also provided, including any of the aforementioned air conditioning air intake components. During operation, the air conditioner opens the first opening and the second opening through the movement of the first swing blade 2 and the second swing blade 12, thereby increasing the air intake volume of the air conditioner's air inlet, accelerating the circulation of air in the room, helping to quickly reduce the room temperature, and improving the user experience.

[0030] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
