Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air conditioning product technology, specifically to an air guide plate structure and an air conditioner. Background Technology

[0002] Air conditioners are widely used household appliances. They typically have an air deflector at the air outlet, which rotates to guide airflow. In practice, these deflectors are usually long and narrow, and made of plastic, making them prone to deformation. To address this deformation issue, the applicant proposed adding an aluminum alloy reinforcing plate to the back of the deflector for straightening. However, for cost and installation considerations, plastic clips are used at both ends of the deflector.

[0003] Plastic snap-fit ​​panels are currently installed using a snap-fit ​​method. However, due to space limitations, the snap-fit ​​size cannot accommodate large-scale deformations, resulting in less contact at the snap-fit ​​points. Consequently, the panels are prone to warping and other defects during transportation and collisions. Utility Model Content

[0004] To overcome the problems such as warping that easily occur during transportation when the existing air guide plate is connected by buckle hooks, this utility model provides an air guide plate structure and an air conditioner.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is: The air guide plate structure includes an air guide plate body and a buckle plate. The buckle plate is connected to the air guide plate body through an installation structure. The installation structure includes a snap-fit ​​buckle and multiple sliding buckles on the buckle plate, as well as spring buckles and multiple fixing frames corresponding to the air guide plate body. The assembly direction of the sliding buckles and fixing frames is to slide from the end to the middle along the length direction of the air guide plate body. The fixing frames have at least two first limiting surfaces, which restrict the buckle plate from shifting in the width direction of the air guide plate body by abutting against the sliding buckles. When the buckle plate and the air guide plate body are installed in place, the spring buckles and snap-fit ​​buckles cooperate to restrict the buckle plate from sliding out in the opposite assembly direction to the air guide plate body.

[0006] In this application, sliding assembly and limiting are achieved through a combination of sliding buckles and a fixed frame, making the assembly safer and more reliable, and easier to install. The combination of spring buckles and snap-fit ​​buckles prevents the buckle from sliding out after installation, further improving reliability. The first limiting surface of the fixed frame positions the buckle in the width direction of the air guide plate body by abutting and limiting, further facilitating installation.

[0007] In some embodiments, the fixing frame further has a second limiting surface, which is arranged perpendicular to the assembly direction; when the buckle and the air guide plate body are installed in place, the sliding buckle abuts against the second limiting surface to restrict the sliding of the buckle relative to the air guide plate body along the assembly direction.

[0008] In some embodiments, the fixing frame further has a third limiting surface, which is arranged parallel to the air guide plate body to restrict the buckle plate from moving away from the air guide plate body in the thickness direction of the air guide plate body.

[0009] In some embodiments, the snap fastener is located in the middle of the buckle plate.

[0010] In some embodiments, a through hole is provided in the thickness direction of the air guide plate body corresponding to the spring buckle, so that external force can be applied to the spring buckle to cancel the engagement limit of the spring buckle.

[0011] In some embodiments, multiple fixed frames are distributed on the air guide plate body near the edge area.

[0012] In some embodiments, multiple fixed frames are symmetrically distributed along the width direction of the air guide plate body.

[0013] In some embodiments, each fixing frame includes an inverted L-shaped structure, and the L-shaped openings of two fixing frames symmetrically arranged in the width direction of the air guide plate body are opposite each other; one section of the L-shaped structure directly connected to the air guide plate body is the lower section, and the other section is the upper section; the side wall of the lower section of the inverted L-shaped structure restricts the offset of the buckle plate in the width direction of the air guide plate body by abutting the sliding buckle; the upper section of the inverted L-shaped structure can restrict the buckle plate from moving away from the air guide plate body in the thickness direction of the air guide plate body.

[0014] This utility model also provides an air conditioner that includes the air guide plate structure in any of the above embodiments.

[0015] In some embodiments, a PC decorative strip is provided on the side of the air guide plate body away from the buckle plate.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: The sliding assembly and limiting mechanism using a sliding buckle and a fixed frame makes the assembly safer and more reliable, and easier to install. The combination of spring buckles and snap-fit ​​buckles prevents the buckle from slipping out after installation, further improving reliability. The first limiting surface of the fixed frame positions the buckle in the width direction of the air guide plate body by abutting and limiting, further facilitating installation.

[0019] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0020] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain this utility model and are not intended to limit this utility model.

[0021] like Figures 1-5 As shown, this utility model provides an air guide plate structure.

[0022] The air guide plate structure includes an air guide plate body 3 and a buckle plate 2, which is connected to the air guide plate body 3 through an installation structure.

[0023] Combination Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the installation structure includes a snap fastener 12 and multiple sliding buckles 11 set on the buckle plate 2, and also includes a spring buckle 22 and multiple fixing frames 21 set on the air guide plate body 3.

[0024] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the assembly direction of the sliding buckle 11 and the fixing frame 21 is that they slide from the end to the middle along the length of the air guide plate body 3. An aluminum alloy reinforcing plate 1 is provided in the middle of the air guide plate body 3, and plastic buckle plates 2 are provided at both ends of the air guide plate. The plastic buckle plate 2 at the other end is not shown, but it also meets the assembly direction requirements here.

[0025] The fixed frame 21 has at least two first limiting surfaces, which limit the offset of the buckle plate 2 in the width direction of the air guide plate body 3 by abutting the sliding buckle 11.

[0026] Reference Figure 5 As shown, when the buckle plate 2 and the air guide plate body 3 are installed in place, the spring buckle 22 and the locking buckle 12 cooperate to restrict the buckle plate 2 from sliding out in the reverse assembly direction relative to the air guide plate body 3.

[0027] In this application, the sliding assembly and limiting are achieved by using the sliding buckle 11 and the fixed frame 21, making the assembly safer and more reliable, and easier to install; the cooperation between the spring buckle 22 and the snap-fit ​​buckle 12 prevents the buckle plate 2 from sliding out after installation, further improving reliability; the first limiting surface set on the fixed frame 21 positions the buckle plate 2 in the width direction of the air guide plate body 3 by abutting and limiting, further facilitating installation.

[0028] Reference Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, a through hole 23 is provided in the thickness direction of the air guide plate body 3 corresponding to the spring buckle 22, so that external force can be applied to the spring buckle 22 to cancel the engagement and limiting of the spring buckle 22 with the latch 12.

[0029] The through hole 23 is provided as described above so that force can be applied to cause the spring buckle 22 to deform, thereby enabling the removal of the buckle plate 2.

[0030] As shown in the figure, after the buckle plate 2 and the air guide plate body 3 are installed in place, the outer surface of the buckle plate 2 is flush with the outer surface of the reinforcing plate 1 to avoid noise from the airflow.

[0031] In this embodiment, a PC decorative strip 4 is provided on the side of the air guide plate body 3 away from the buckle plate 2.

[0032] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The air guide plate body 3 has a raised structure on its back side, which is used in practice for the motor-driven rotation of the air guide plate body 3. When the buckle plate 2 extends beyond this point in the length direction of the air guide plate body 3, it should be as follows: Figure 2 The diagram shows a clearance groove.

[0033] The structure and function of the fixed frame 21 are described in detail below.

[0034] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 3 The six fixed frames 21 are distributed on the air guide plate body 3 near the edge area.

[0035] The fixed frame 21 is the installation structure for the air guide plate body 3 and the buckle plate 2. Multiple frames are set and distributed in the near edge area of ​​the air guide plate body 3 structure, which can achieve a better limiting effect and prevent the edge of the buckle plate 2 from lifting.

[0036] Furthermore, multiple fixed frames 21 are symmetrically distributed along the width of the air guide plate body 3.

[0037] The symmetrically distributed fixed frame 21 not only facilitates processing and implementation, but also provides a more balanced limiting force on the buckle plate 2.

[0038] Furthermore, the snap fastener 12 is located in the middle of the buckle plate 2.

[0039] Furthermore, each of the fixing frames 21 includes an inverted L-shaped structure, with the L-shaped openings of two fixing frames 21 symmetrically arranged in the width direction of the air guide plate body 3 facing each other. The section of the L-shaped structure directly connected to the air guide plate body 3 is the lower section, and the other section is the upper section; the side wall of the lower section of the inverted L-shaped structure restricts the offset of the buckle plate 2 in the width direction of the air guide plate body 3 by abutting against the sliding buckle 11; the upper section of the inverted L-shaped structure can restrict the buckle plate 2 from moving away from the air guide plate body 3 in the thickness direction.

[0040] As described above, the L-shaped openings of the two symmetrically arranged fixed frames 21 are opposite each other. At this time, the lower side wall of the inverted L-shaped structure restricts the offset of the buckle 2 in the width direction of the air guide plate body 3 by abutting the sliding buckle 11, that is, forming the first limiting surface. The lower side wall of the symmetrically arranged L-shaped structure just limits the buckle 2 in the two directions of the width direction of the air guide plate body 3.

[0041] The upper section of the inverted L-shaped structure, as... Figure 4 The lower end face shown is set parallel to the air guide plate body 3, restricting the buckle plate 2 from moving away from the air guide plate body 3 in the thickness direction. The lower end face of the upper section of the inverted L-shaped structure here serves as the third limiting surface.

[0042] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 5 The L-shaped structure has an L-shaped side, which is set perpendicular to the assembly direction. When the buckle 2 and the air guide plate body 3 are installed in place, the sliding buckle 11 abuts against the second limiting surface to restrict the sliding of the buckle 2 relative to the air guide plate body 3 along the assembly direction. Here, its side serves as the second limiting surface.

[0043] Obviously, the structure and position of the fixed frame 21 can be adaptively adjusted, and the first, second, and third limiting surfaces will also change accordingly, as long as their limiting function can be achieved; no specific limitations are imposed here. Meanwhile, the inverted L-shaped structure proposed in this application can combine the advantages of structural simplicity and ease of limiting. Furthermore, in this embodiment, a sidewall plate is also provided on the side of the fixed frame 21 near the middle of the air guide plate body 3, ensuring the strength of the fixed frame 21.

[0044] Based on the above, the assembly process of the buckle 2 and the air guide plate body 3 in this embodiment is as follows: the buckle 2 slides along the back surface of the air guide plate body 3, and the sliding buckle 11 on the buckle 2 first slides into the fixing frame 21 on the back of the air guide plate body 3. The first limiting surface and the third limiting surface on the fixing frame 21 play a role. During the assembly process, the spring buckle 22 deforms, so that after the buckle 2 is further assembled relative to the air guide plate body 3, the spring buckle 22 and the snap fastener 12 cooperate to prevent the buckle 2 from sliding out relative to the air guide plate body 3 in the opposite assembly direction. In this embodiment, the fixing frame 21 has a corresponding second limiting surface, which restricts the stroke of the buckle 2 along the assembly direction in the form of abutment and limiting. When the second limiting surface and the sliding buckle 11 abut, the spring buckle 22 and the snap fastener 12 cooperate.

[0045] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
