[0038] The air conditioner 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0039] like Figures 1 to 6As shown, the air conditioner 100 according to an embodiment of the present utility model includes: a housing assembly 1, a buffer member 2, and a heat exchange and air supply assembly (not shown). The housing assembly 1 includes a housing body 11 and an air guide plate 12. An air inlet 11a and an air outlet 11b are formed on the housing body 11. The air guide plate 12 is movably disposed on the housing body 11 between an open position and a closed position. In the open position, the air guide plate 12 opens the air outlet 11b, and in the closed position, the air guide plate 12 closes the air outlet 11b. At least one of the housing body 11 and the air guide plate 12 is provided with a buffer member 2. In the closed position, at least a portion of the buffer member 2 is located between the air guide plate 12 and the housing body 11. The heat exchange and air supply assembly is disposed inside the housing body 11.

[0040] In other words, when the air conditioner 100 is turned on, the air guide vane 12 moves to the open position to open the air outlet 11b. Indoor air is then introduced into the main body of the unit 11 through the air inlet 11a via the heat exchange and air supply assembly, and discharged through the air outlet 11b after heat exchange, thereby regulating the indoor air temperature. When the air conditioner 100 is turned off, the air guide vane 12 moves from the open position to the closed position. When the air guide vane 12 moves to the closed position, the buffer 2, located between the main body of the unit 11 and the air guide vane 12, separates the air guide vane 12 from the main body of the unit 11, thus preventing the air guide vane 12 from contacting the main body of the unit 11 when moving towards the closed position. Therefore, by providing a buffer 2 on at least one of the housing body 11 and the air guide plate 12, direct contact between the air guide plate 12 and the housing body 11 can be effectively avoided when the air guide plate 12 moves from the open position to the closed position. This avoids collision noise caused by the contact between the air guide plate 12 and the housing body 11, thereby preventing noise interference from the air conditioner 100 to the user and improving the comfort of using the air conditioner 100.

[0041] It should be noted that the buffer element 2 can be provided only on the main body 11 of the housing, or only on the air guide plate 12, or both the main body 11 of the housing and the air guide plate 12 can be provided with the buffer element 2. The buffer element 2 can be provided at least partially on the air guide plate 12 and the main body 11 of the housing when the housing is closed, so as to prevent the air guide plate 12 from directly contacting the main body 11 of the housing. In other words, the setting of the buffer element 2 can be flexibly selected according to the design requirements, and no specific restrictions are imposed here.

[0042] According to the present invention, the air conditioner 100 has a buffer 2 provided on at least one of the housing body 11 and the air guide plate 12. This effectively prevents the air guide plate 12 from directly contacting the housing body 11 when it moves from the open position to the closed position. This avoids the collision noise generated by the air guide plate 12 contacting the housing body 11, and thus avoids the air conditioner 100 causing noise interference to the user, thereby improving the comfort of using the air conditioner 100.

[0043] In some embodiments, the buffer 2 is a flexible component, that is, the buffer 2 has a certain flexible deformation capability. Therefore, when the air guide plate 12 moves toward the closed position and comes into contact with the buffer 2, since the buffer 2 is relatively soft, it can avoid collision noise between the air guide plate 12 and the buffer 2. Furthermore, the flexible deformation of the buffer 2 can reduce the impact force of the air guide plate 12 on the main body 11 of the casing, thereby reducing collision noise, while ensuring that the buffer 2 and the air guide plate 12 fit tightly together.

[0044] In a specific example, the air conditioner 100 is wall-mounted, with the air inlet 11a located at the top of the casing and the air outlet 11b located at the bottom of the front end of the casing. The air conditioner 100 also includes air guide louvers 3 and air guide regulating plates 4 disposed within the main casing 11. The air guide louvers 3 are located upstream of the air guide regulating plates 4. In the closed position, the air guide regulating plates 4 are located upstream of the air guide plates 12. Both the air guide regulating plates 4 and the air guide plates 12 have multiple air diffusers to disperse the passing airflow and achieve a gentle or windless airflow. The rotation axes of the air guide plates 12 and 4 extend in the left-right direction, allowing air to be directed towards different areas through rotation, thus improving the flexibility of the airflow angle of the air conditioner 100.

[0045] According to some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 2 to 5 As shown, the buffer 2 is disposed on the main body 11 of the housing. In the closed position, the buffer 2 abuts against the air guide plate 12. By placing the buffer 2 on the main body 11 of the housing, the increased movement resistance of the air guide plate 12 caused by placing the buffer 2 on the air guide plate 12 can be avoided, thereby reducing the driving force required for the air guide plate 12. In addition, by having the buffer 2 abut against the air guide plate 12, a large gap between the air guide plate 12 and the main body 11 of the housing can be avoided, thereby preventing external dust and other contaminants from entering the air conditioner 100 through the gap between the air guide plate 12 and the main body 11 when the air conditioner 100 is closed, thus ensuring the cleanliness of the air conditioner 100.

[0046] According to some embodiments of this utility model, the buffer 2 is disposed on the inner wall surface of the air outlet 11b. It is understood that when the air guide plate 12 is in the closed position, it blocks the air outlet 11b and obstructs the inner wall surface of the air outlet 11b. That is, the buffer 2 is disposed on the main body 11 of the casing in the area opposite to the air guide plate 12 in the closed position. This reduces the difficulty of fitting the buffer 2 to the air guide plate 12, and also allows for better concealment of the buffer 2.

[0047] In a specific example, in the closed position, the projection of the buffer 2 onto the reference surface is the first projection, and the projection of the air guide plate 12 onto the reference surface is the second projection. The first projection is located within the second projection, and the reference surface is perpendicular to the arrangement direction of the air guide plate 12 and the air outlet 11b. That is, in the closed position, the air guide plate 12 can completely cover the buffer 2. Thus, the buffer 2 is prevented from being exposed when the air guide plate 12 is closed, ensuring the neat appearance of the air conditioner 100.

[0048] According to some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 2 As shown, the buffer 2 is a strip extending circumferentially along the air outlet 11b. This effectively extends the length of the buffer 2 circumferentially along the air outlet 11b, thereby increasing the coverage area of ​​the buffer 2 along the circumference of the air outlet 11b. In other words, when the air guide plate 12 is in the closed position, the area separated between the air guide plate 12 and the main body 11 by the buffer 2 along the circumferential direction of the air outlet 11b increases. This improves the buffer 2's ability to prevent direct contact between the air guide plate 12 and the main body 11, thus enhancing the buffering effect of the buffer 2 and further reducing the risk of noise generated by collision between the air guide plate 12 and the main body 11.

[0049] According to some embodiments of this utility model, the buffer member 2 is provided with multiple buffer members arranged at intervals along the circumference of the air outlet 11b. That is, in the closed position, the air guide plate 12 is separated from the main body of the casing 11 at multiple positions along the circumferential direction of the air outlet 11b by the corresponding buffer members 2. That is, the area separated between the air guide plate 12 and the main body of the casing 11 by the buffer member 2 is increased, thereby improving the effect of the buffer member 2 in preventing the air guide plate 12 from direct contact with the main body of the casing 11, and thus reducing the risk of noise caused by the collision between the air guide plate 12 and the main body of the casing 11.

[0050] According to some embodiments of this utility model, buffer members 2 are provided at both ends of the air outlet 11b along its length. That is, along the length of the air outlet 11b, in the closed position, the two ends of the air guide plate 12 are separated from the main body 11 of the casing by the buffer members 2 at corresponding positions. At the same time, the buffer members 2 at both ends can elevate the middle area of ​​the air guide plate 12 between the two ends, so as to avoid the middle area of ​​the air guide plate 12 contacting the main body 11 of the casing. Therefore, by providing buffer members 2 at least at both ends of the air outlet 11b along its length, the number of buffer members 2 can be reduced while ensuring the buffering effect of the buffer members 2, thereby reducing the impact of the buffer members 2 on the weight and cost of the air conditioner 100.

[0051] In some embodiments, at least one buffer 2 is located at the middle of the air outlet 11b along the length direction, thereby separating the air guide plate 12 from the main body 11 along the middle of the air outlet 11b along the length direction, so as to further reduce the risk of noise generated by the collision between the air guide plate 12 and the main body 11.

[0052] According to some embodiments of this utility model, a portion of the buffer 2 is located on one side of the air outlet 11b along the length direction, and another portion of the buffer 2 is located on one side of the air outlet 11b along the width direction. That is, by using the portion of the buffer 2 located on one side of the air outlet 11b along the length direction, the portion of the air guide plate 12 on one side of the air outlet 11b along the length direction can be separated from the main body 11 of the casing, and by using the portion of the buffer 2 located on one side of the air outlet 11b along the width direction, the portion of the air guide plate 12 on one side of the air outlet 11b along the width direction can be separated from the main body 11 of the casing. Therefore, by using buffer members 2 located on one side of the air outlet 11b along the length and width directions respectively, the coverage area of ​​the buffer members 2 can be increased. When the air guide plate 12 is in the closed position, the area separated between the air guide plate 12 and the main body of the casing 11 by the buffer members 2 along the circumferential direction of the air outlet 11b is increased, thereby improving the effect of the buffer members 2 in preventing the air guide plate 12 from directly contacting the main body of the casing 11, and further improving the buffering effect of the buffer members 2, so as to further reduce the risk of noise generated by the collision between the air guide plate 12 and the main body of the casing 11.

[0053] In some embodiments, the buffer 2 can be a single, continuous structure. For example, if the length direction of the air outlet 11b is left-right, the buffer 2 can extend from the left side of the air outlet 11b to the right side. Of course, the buffer 2 can be a single, annular structure that buffers the air outlet 11b. The shape and coverage of the buffer 2 can be flexibly adjusted according to requirements, and no specific limitations are imposed here.

[0054] According to some embodiments of this utility model, the buffer member 2 is adhesively bonded to the main body 11 of the casing. Adhesive bonding is applicable to a wide range of materials, provides uniform stress distribution, is lightweight, has a simple process, and is low-cost. Therefore, it can improve the stability of the connection between the buffer member 2 and the main body 11 of the casing while reducing costs and the impact on the overall weight of the air conditioner 100.

[0055] According to some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, a mounting groove 1121 is formed on the main body 11 of the housing, and the buffer 2 is installed in the mounting groove 1121. The mounting groove 1121 can serve as a positioning mark for the buffer 2 during installation. That is, when installing the buffer 2, it can be aligned with the mounting groove 1121 and inserted, which can reduce the positioning difficulty of the buffer 2 on the main body 11 of the housing, thereby improving the installation efficiency of the buffer 2 and ensuring the installation position accuracy of the buffer 2 on the main body 11 of the housing. This can improve the reliability of the buffer 2 in preventing the air guide plate 12 from colliding with the main body 11 of the housing.

[0056] According to some embodiments of this utility model, the main body 11 of the housing includes a panel bracket 111 and a front panel 112 disposed on the panel bracket 111, with a buffer 2 disposed on the front panel 112. That is, the buffer 2 can effectively buffer the impact of the air guide plate 12 on the front panel 112, thereby preventing the air guide plate 12 from directly contacting the front panel 112 when in the closed position, and thus avoiding noise generated by the collision between the air guide plate 12 and the front panel 112. In a specific example, the panel bracket 111 includes a chassis and an air outlet frame. The air outlet frame is mounted on the chassis and together defines a heat exchange air duct for placing the heat exchange air supply assembly. The front panel 112 is disposed at the front end of the air outlet frame to cover the air outlet frame.

[0057] According to some embodiments of this utility model, along the length direction of the air outlet 11b, the front panel 112 has arc-shaped portions 1122 on opposite sides of one end near the air outlet 11b. The arc-shaped portions 1122 extend in an arc shape along the circumference of the air outlet 11b. The buffer member 2 is disposed on the arc-shaped portion 1122 and is arc-shaped, extending in an arc shape along the circumference of the air outlet 11b. In a specific example, one end of the arc-shaped buffer member 2 extends to one side of the air outlet 11b along the length direction, and the other end extends to one side of the air outlet 11b along the width direction, so as to increase the coverage area of ​​the buffer member 2.

[0058] According to some embodiments of this utility model, the buffer member 2 is a rubber member or a silicone member. Both rubber and silicone members have good elasticity and are lightweight. Therefore, when the air guide plate 12 contacts the buffer member 2 when closed, the buffer member 2 can buffer the impact of the air guide plate 12 through a certain degree of flexible deformation, thus avoiding collision noise between the air guide plate 12 and the buffer member 2. Furthermore, it can reduce the impact on the overall weight of the air conditioner 100.

[0059] According to some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 7As shown, the air conditioner 100 also includes a drive motor, which is connected to the air guide plate 12. When moving from the open position to the closed position, the air guide plate 12 has a first closing stage and a second closing stage, performed sequentially. The drive motor rotates at a first speed during the first closing stage and at a second speed during the second closing stage, with the second speed being less than the first speed. In other words, the drive motor drives the air guide plate 12 from the open position through the first and second closing stages to the closed position. The second speed being less than the first speed results in the air guide plate 12 moving at a slower speed during the second closing stage than during the first closing stage. In other words, the closer to the closed position, the lower the speed of the air guide plate 12. It can be understood that the slower the air guide plate 12 moves, the smaller the impact force when it contacts the buffer 2 upon reaching the closed position. Therefore, by slowing down the movement of the air guide plate 12 as it approaches the closed position, the impact force of the air guide plate 12 can be reduced, thereby reducing collision noise caused by excessive impact force and improving the comfort of using the air conditioner 100.

[0060] According to some embodiments of this utility model, the ratio of the second rotational speed to the first rotational speed ranges from 2 / 5 to 3 / 5. That is, the second rotational speed is controlled within the range of 2 / 5 to 3 / 5 of the first rotational speed. Wherein, with the first rotational speed fixed, the larger the ratio of the second rotational speed to the first rotational speed, the larger the second rotational speed, and the faster the air guide plate 12 closes, meaning the time required for the air guide plate 12 to close completely is shorter, but the resulting impact force is greater. Conversely, the smaller the ratio of the second rotational speed to the first rotational speed, the smaller the second rotational speed, and the slower the air guide plate 12 closes, meaning the time required for the air guide plate 12 to close is longer, but the resulting impact force is smaller. Therefore, by controlling the second rotational speed within the range of 2 / 5 to 3 / 5 of the first rotational speed, it is possible to avoid excessively high second rotational speed and excessive impact force, thus preventing collision noise. At the same time, it is possible to avoid the second rotational speed being too slow, which would affect the closing speed of the air guide plate 12. The ratio of the second speed to the first speed can be 2 / 5, 11 / 25, 12 / 25, 1 / 2, 13 / 25, 14 / 25, 3 / 5, etc.

[0061] According to some embodiments of this utility model, the movement stroke of the air guide plate 12 in the first closing stage is called the first stroke, and the movement stroke of the air guide plate 12 in the second closing stage is called the second stroke, with the first stroke being greater than the second stroke. It should be noted that when the air guide plate 12 moves by rotation, the stroke refers to the rotation angle of the air guide plate 12 when rotating between the closed and open positions; when the rotation direction of the air guide plate 12 is translation, the stroke refers to the translation distance of the air guide plate 12 when translating between the closed and open positions. Since the movement speed of the air guide plate 12 in the first closing stage is greater than its movement speed in the second closing stage, the first stroke being greater than the second stroke can shorten the entire closing process of the air guide plate 12, thereby increasing the closing speed of the air guide plate 12.

[0062] In some embodiments, the ratio of the first stroke to the second stroke ranges from 7 to 10. That is, the first stroke is controlled between 7 and 10 times the second stroke. This avoids the first stroke being too small, which would affect the closing speed of the air guide plate 12. At the same time, it avoids the design difficulty of the second closing stage being increased due to the first stroke being too large or the second stroke being too small. In other words, it reduces the difficulty of setting the second closing stage, so as to ensure that the air guide plate 12 can slow down during the second closing stage to avoid collision noise.

[0063] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the ratio of the first rotational speed to the second rotational speed is in the range of 2 / 5 to 3 / 5, the movement stroke of the air guide plate 12 in the first closing stage is the first stroke, the movement stroke of the air guide plate 12 in the second closing stage is the second stroke, and the first stroke is less than the second stroke.

[0064] In a specific example, the air guide plate 12 is rotatably disposed on the housing body 11. The position of the air guide plate 12 relative to the housing body 11 when it is closed is defined as 0°. When the air guide plate 12 is in the open position, the rotation angle is 102°. The first stroke is from 102° to 12° and the first rotation speed is 250pps. The second stroke is from 12° to 0° and the second rotation speed is 125pps.
