In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0033] The opening and closing door 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0034] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the switch door 100 according to an embodiment of the present utility model includes a door body 1, a first support member 2, and a second support member 3.

[0035] Specifically, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the first support member 2 and the second support member 3 are respectively connected to both ends of the door body 1 along its length. The door body 1, the first support member 2 and the second support member 3 are separate processed parts.

[0036] The switch door 100 can be used in air conditioners, such as cabinet air conditioners or wall-mounted air conditioners. The air conditioner is provided with an air outlet 411. The switch door 100 is movably located at the air outlet 411 along the width direction of the air outlet 411, so that the switch door 100 can open or close the air outlet 411 to cooperate with the air conditioner's start-up or shutdown.

[0037] Understandably, when the air conditioner is in use, opening and closing the door 100 can open the air outlet 411, allowing airflow to pass through the air outlet 411 into the room, thus enabling the air conditioner to deliver air. When the air conditioner is off, opening and closing the door 100 can close the air outlet 411, preventing dust, insects, and other foreign objects from entering the air conditioner, ensuring the cleanliness of the air conditioner's interior and its normal operation, and also giving the air conditioner a better appearance.

[0038] The existing door opening and closing mechanism is generally manufactured as a single piece through injection molding or other methods, which is difficult to process, resulting in low production efficiency and high cost.

[0039] The switch door 100 in this application is composed of a door body 1, a first support member 2, and a second support member 3. It has a simple structure, and the door body 1, the first support member 2, and the second support member 3 are separate processing parts. That is, the door body 1, the first support member 2, and the second support member 3 can be processed separately first, and then the first support member 2 and the second support member 3 can be connected to the two ends of the length direction of the door body 1 to form the switch door 100.

[0040] Compared to processing the entire door 100 as a single unit, processing the door body 1, the first support 2, and the second support 3 separately is less difficult. Furthermore, appropriate processing methods can be selected based on the structural characteristics of the door body 1, the first support 2, and the second support 3, thereby improving production efficiency and reducing costs.

[0041] According to the embodiment of the present invention, the switch door 100 is divided into a door body 1, a first support member 2, and a second support member 3, which are processed separately. The first support member 2 and the second support member 3 are respectively connected to both ends of the door body 1 along its length. The structure is simple, and the door body 1, the first support member 2, and the second support member 3 can be processed separately, thereby reducing the processing difficulty. Furthermore, appropriate processing methods can be selected according to the structural characteristics of the door body 1, the first support member 2, and the second support member 3, thereby improving production efficiency and reducing costs.

[0042] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, the door body 1 is provided with a positioning groove 11, which extends through the door body 1 along its length. The first support member 2 is provided with a first positioning protrusion 211 that cooperates with the positioning groove 11 on the side near the door body 1, and the second support member 3 is provided with a second positioning protrusion 31 that cooperates with the positioning groove 11 on the side near the door body 1.

[0043] The positioning groove 11 extends through the door body 1 along its length, which simplifies the structure of the door body 1 and effectively reduces the processing difficulty of the door body 1, thereby improving production efficiency and processing costs.

[0044] The first positioning protrusion 211 can extend into the positioning groove 11, serving a positioning function to achieve the positioning between the first support member 2 and the door body 1. This ensures the accurate positioning of the first support member 2 and the door body 1 during connection, avoiding misalignment or offset, thereby improving assembly precision. The first support member 2 and the door body 1 can be quickly aligned without repeated adjustments, reducing adjustment time and improving assembly efficiency. The cooperation between the first positioning protrusion 211 and the positioning groove 11 also enables the first support member 2 and the door body 1 to engage, sharing the shear force and torsional force at the connection point, preventing displacement and loosening, thus enhancing the connection stability between the first support member 2 and the door body 1.

[0045] Similarly, the second positioning protrusion 31 can extend into the positioning groove 11, serving a positioning function to achieve the positioning between the second support member 3 and the door body 1. This ensures the accurate positioning of the second support member 3 and the door body 1 during connection, avoiding misalignment or offset, thereby improving assembly accuracy. The second support member 3 and the door body 1 can be quickly aligned without repeated adjustments, reducing adjustment time and improving assembly efficiency. The cooperation between the second positioning protrusion 31 and the positioning groove 11 also enables the second support member 3 and the door body 1 to engage, sharing the shear force and torsional force at the connection point, preventing displacement and loosening, thus enhancing the connection stability between the second support member 3 and the door body 1.

[0046] In some embodiments, the positioning groove 11, the first positioning protrusion 211 and the second positioning protrusion 31 are one unit, which can simplify the structure of the door body 1, the first support member 2 and the second support member 3, facilitate processing, thereby improving production efficiency and reducing costs.

[0047] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, there are multiple positioning grooves 11, which are spaced apart along the width direction of the door body 1. The first positioning protrusion 211 corresponds to one of the multiple positioning grooves 11, and the second positioning protrusion 31 corresponds to one of the multiple positioning grooves 11.

[0048] The positioning grooves 11 and the first positioning protrusions 211 are multiple in a one-to-one correspondence, allowing for positioning and engagement at multiple points. This enables more precise alignment of the first support member 2 and the door body 1 during connection, thereby improving assembly efficiency and accuracy. The engagement between the multiple first positioning protrusions 211 and the multiple positioning grooves 11 also allows for multiple engagement points between the first support member 2 and the door body 1, better distributing shear and torsional forces at the connection points, thus further enhancing the connection stability between the first support member 2 and the door body 1.

[0049] The positioning grooves 11 and the second positioning protrusions 31 are multiple in a one-to-one correspondence, allowing the positioning grooves 11 and the second positioning protrusions 31 to engage at multiple points. This enables more precise alignment of the second support member 3 and the door body 1 during connection, thereby further improving assembly efficiency and accuracy. The engagement between the multiple second positioning protrusions 31 and the multiple positioning grooves 11 also allows for multiple locking points between the second support member 3 and the door body 1, better distributing shear and torsional forces at the connection points, thus further enhancing the connection stability between the second support member 3 and the door body 1.

[0050] Specifically, such as Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 7 In the example shown, there are four positioning slots 11, four first positioning protrusions 211 corresponding one-to-one with the positioning slots 11, and four second positioning protrusions 31 corresponding one-to-one with multiple positioning slots 11. Of course, the number of positioning slots 11, first positioning protrusions 211, and second positioning protrusions 31 can also be two, three, five, six, etc., corresponding one-to-one. This application does not specify the specific number of positioning slots 11, first positioning protrusions 211, and second positioning protrusions 31.

[0051] In some embodiments, the positioning groove 11 is a cuboid, and the first positioning protrusion 211 and the second positioning protrusion 31 are cuboids corresponding to the positioning groove 11. The structure is simple and easy to process, which is beneficial to improving production efficiency and reducing costs.

[0052] Of course, the cross-sections of the positioning groove 11, the first positioning protrusion 211 and the second positioning protrusion 31 in the direction perpendicular to the length of the door body 1 can also be regular shapes such as circles, ellipses, triangles, pentagons, or irregular shapes. This application does not specifically limit the specific shapes of the positioning groove 11, the first positioning protrusion 211 and the second positioning protrusion 31.

[0053] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 5 As shown, a first groove 212 is provided on the surface of the first positioning protrusion 211 near the door body 1. This can reduce the weight of the first positioning protrusion 211 while ensuring its structural strength, thus achieving a lightweight first support member 2.

[0054] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 7 As shown, a second groove 32 is provided on the surface of the second positioning protrusion 31 near the door body 1. This can reduce the weight of the second positioning protrusion 31 while ensuring its structural strength, thus achieving a lightweight second support member 3.

[0055] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 4 As shown, the thickness of the sidewall of the positioning groove 11 is 1mm-2mm. The thickness of the sidewall of the positioning groove 11 is as follows... Figure 4 As shown in the diagram, d represents the minimum distance between the outer wall of the door body 1 and the side wall of the positioning groove 11. If the thickness of the side wall of the positioning groove 11 is less than 1mm, the wall thickness of the door body 1 is too thin, resulting in weak structural strength. If the thickness of the side wall of the positioning groove 11 is greater than 2mm, the wall thickness of the door body 1 is too thick, which increases the weight and material usage of the door body 1, hinders the movement of the door 100 at the air outlet 411 of the air conditioner, and also increases manufacturing costs.

[0056] The thickness of the sidewall of the positioning groove 11 is 1mm-2mm, which allows the wall thickness of the door body 1 to be kept moderate. This ensures the structural strength of the door body 1, thereby ensuring the structural strength and stability of the opening and closing door 100, while also preventing the opening and closing door 100 from being too heavy and controlling the manufacturing cost of the opening and closing door 100.

[0057] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 5-8As shown, at least one of the first support member 2 and the second support member 3 includes a first part 21, a second part 22 and a third part 23. The second part 22 extends along the width direction of the door body 1. One end of the first part 21 and one end of the third part 23 are respectively connected to the two ends of the second part 22 along the length direction of the door body 1. The first part 21 and the third part 23 are located on both sides of the second part 22 and form an angle with the second part 22. The first part 21 is connected to the door body 1.

[0058] One end of the first segment 21 and one end of the third segment 23 are respectively connected to the two ends of the second segment 22 along the length of the door body 1. In the thickness direction of the second segment 22, the other ends of the first segment 21 and the third segment 23 extend in directions away from each other. This allows the first support member 2 and the second support member 3 to form an approximately Z-shaped structure, which is simple in structure and easy to process, thus improving production efficiency and reducing costs. The second segment 22 separates the first segment 21 and the third segment 23. The first segment 21 is connected to the door body 1, while the third segment 23 can be connected to other components. For example, when the door 100 is used in an air conditioner, the third segment 23 can be connected to the air outlet frame assembly 4 with an air outlet 411, resulting in a reasonable structural design.

[0059] Furthermore, the first part 21 is perpendicular to the second part 22, and the second part 22 is perpendicular to the third part 23. This can further reduce the processing difficulty and the assembly difficulty between the first part 21 and the door body 1 and between the third part 23 and the air outlet frame assembly 4, thereby further improving processing and assembly efficiency and reducing costs.

[0060] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 5-8 As shown, the third part 23 is provided with a snap-fit ​​post 231 for connecting with the drive mechanism. In the direction from one end of the second part 22 connected to the first part 21 to the other end, the snap-fit ​​post 231 is provided on the side of the third part 23 facing the first part 21 or on the side away from the first part 21.

[0061] The drive mechanism is located on the air outlet frame 41 of the air conditioner and connected to the switch door 100. It is used to drive the switch door 100 to move along the width direction of the air outlet 411 to open or close the air outlet 411.

[0062] The third segment 23 is provided with a snap-fit ​​post 231, and the drive mechanism is provided with a snap-fit ​​groove that mates with the snap-fit ​​post 231. The snap-fit ​​post 231 can extend into the snap-fit ​​groove to achieve a snap-fit ​​connection between the third segment 23 and the drive mechanism, thereby realizing the connection between the opening / closing door 100 and the drive mechanism. The structure is simple and easy to implement. In the specific production and assembly process, the snap-fit ​​post 231 can be positioned on the side of the third segment 23 facing the first segment 21 or on the side away from the first segment 21, depending on the positional relationship between the first support member 2, the second support member 3, and the drive mechanism. For example, as... Figure 5 As shown in the example, the snap-fit ​​post 231 on the first support member 2 is located on the side of the third part 23 facing the first part 21, as shown. Figure 6 As shown in the example, the snap-fit ​​post 231 on the second support member 3 is located on the side of the third part 23 away from the first part 21, which can improve the connection convenience between the first support member 2 and the second support member 3 and the drive mechanism.

[0063] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 6 and Figure 8 As shown, in the direction from one end of the second part 22 connected to the first part 21 to the other end, the third part 23 is provided with a reinforcing rib 232 on the side opposite to the first part 21, and the reinforcing rib 232 is a plurality of staggered ribs.

[0064] Multiple reinforcing ribs 232 are arranged in a crisscross pattern. Some of the reinforcing ribs 232 extend along the width direction of the second segment 22, i.e., the door body 1, while others extend along the thickness direction of the second segment 22. The multiple reinforcing ribs 232 form a grid support, which can effectively distribute the load and reduce the bending or torsional deformation of the third segment 23 under stress (such as pressure, impact, vibration). This enhances the structural strength and stiffness of the first support member 2 and the second support member 3, and improves the load-bearing capacity. In addition, by replacing the solid structure with multiple reinforcing ribs 232, the use of materials can be reduced while maintaining strength, achieving a lightweight design, thereby reducing costs and weight.

[0065] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 7 As shown, a supporting rib 233 is provided between the second segment 22 and the third segment 23. The supporting rib 233 is located at the connection between the second segment 22 and the third segment 23, and the supporting rib 233 is connected to both the second segment 22 and the third segment 23, which can effectively improve the structural strength and stiffness between the second segment 22 and the third segment 23.

[0066] The support ribs 233 are multiple ones spaced apart along the extension direction of the second part 22, i.e. the width direction of the door body 1. The multiple support ribs 233 can effectively distribute the load and prevent the second part 22 and the third part 23 from bending or twisting when subjected to force, thereby improving the load-bearing capacity of the first support member 2 and the second support member 3.

[0067] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, any cross-section of the door body 1 perpendicular to its length is identical. Setting the door body 1 to have a uniform cross-section simplifies its structure, thereby reducing processing difficulty, which in turn improves production efficiency and reduces costs.

[0068] In some embodiments of this utility model, the door body 1 is extruded, that is, the door body 1 is processed by the extrusion process. The door body 1 has a long dimension and a uniform cross-section structure, which is suitable for continuous production by the extrusion process and has high production efficiency.

[0069] Compared to the existing method of molding the door 100 into a single piece using injection molding, which eliminates the need for expensive injection molds and has a relatively simple extrusion mold structure with lower manufacturing and maintenance costs, production costs can be effectively reduced.

[0070] In some embodiments of this utility model, the first support member 2 and the second support member 3 are injection molded. The structure of the first support member 2 and the second support member 3 is more complex than that of the door body 1, and the first support member 2 and the second support member 3 need to be connected with other structures. The precision of the injection molding process is higher, which helps to ensure the production and processing precision and structural quality of the first support member 2 and the second support member 3, thereby improving the structural stability of the door 100 when it is connected with other structures.

[0071] In some embodiments of this utility model, the door body 1 is ultrasonically welded to the first support member 2 and the second support member 3 respectively. High-frequency vibration waves are transmitted to the surface between the door body 1 and the first support member 2 or the surface between the door body 1 and the second support member 3. Under pressure, the surfaces of the door body 1 and the first support member 2 or the door body 1 and the second support member 3 rub against each other to form a fusion between molecular layers, which can improve the connection stability between the door body 1 and the first support member 2 and the second support member 3, thereby improving the structural strength of the door 100.

[0072] In some embodiments of this utility model, the door body 1 is bonded to the first support member 2 and the second support member 3 respectively. An adhesive can be applied to the surface between the door body 1 and the first support member 2 or between the door body 1 and the second support member 3. During assembly, the first support member 2 and the second support member 3 can be directly bonded to both ends of the door body 1 along its length, resulting in low cost and simple, convenient operation.

[0073] The following describes the air outlet structure 200 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0074] The air outlet structure 200 according to an embodiment of the present utility model includes: an air outlet frame assembly 4 and the aforementioned switch door 100.

[0075] Specifically, such as Figure 12 , Figure 13 and Figure 14 As shown, the air outlet frame assembly 4 has an air outlet 411, which extends along the length of the air outlet frame assembly 4. The switch door 100 is movably disposed at the air outlet 411 to open or close the air outlet 411.

[0076] The air outlet structure 200 can be applied to an air conditioner. When the air conditioner is in use, opening and closing the door 100 can open the air outlet 411, allowing airflow to flow into the room through the air outlet 411, thus realizing the air supply of the air conditioner. When the air conditioner is turned off, opening and closing the door 100 can close the air outlet 411, preventing dust, insects, etc. from entering the air conditioner, ensuring the cleanliness of the air conditioner's interior and normal use, and also giving the air conditioner a better appearance.

[0077] According to the air outlet structure 200 of this utility model embodiment, the door 100 is divided into a door body 1, a first support member 2, and a second support member 3, which are processed separately. The first support member 2 and the second support member 3 are respectively connected to both ends of the door body 1 along its length. The structure is simple, and the door body 1, the first support member 2, and the second support member 3 can be processed separately, thereby reducing the processing difficulty. Moreover, according to the structural characteristics of the door body 1, the first support member 2, and the second support member 3, appropriate processing methods can be selected respectively, thereby improving production efficiency and reducing costs.

[0078] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 14 and Figure 15 As shown, a baffle 12 is provided at one end of the door body 1 in the width direction. When the door 100 opens the air outlet 411, the baffle 12 abuts against one side wall of the air outlet 411 in the width direction. The baffle 12 can play a limiting role. During the process of opening the air outlet 411, the door 100 moves along the width direction of the air outlet 411 until the baffle 12 abuts against one side wall of the air outlet 411 in the width direction, at which point the door 100 stops moving, thus preventing excessive movement of the door 100 from interfering with or colliding with other components of the air outlet structure 200.

[0079] In addition, when the door 100 opens the air outlet 411, the baffle 12 abuts against one side wall in the width direction of the air outlet 411, which can also achieve a sealing effect, preventing dust, insects and other foreign objects from entering the air outlet structure 200 from between the door 100 and the side wall of the air outlet 411. This ensures the cleanliness of the air conditioner's interior and its normal use, while also giving the air outlet structure 200 and the air conditioner a better appearance.

[0080] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 14 As shown, the air outlet frame assembly 4 has a receiving cavity 43 located on at least one side of the air outlet 411 in the width direction. When the door 100 opens the air outlet 411, at least a portion of the door 100 is located within the receiving cavity 43. Thus, when the door 100 opens the air outlet 411, the door 100 can move into the receiving cavity 43, thereby providing a shielding effect. This prevents the door 100 from affecting the air outlet structure 200 and the air conditioner's air outlet performance at the air outlet 411, and also improves the aesthetics of the air outlet structure 200 and the air conditioner.

[0081] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 9-14 As shown, the air outlet frame assembly 4 includes an air outlet frame 41 and a front panel 42, with an air outlet 411 disposed on the air outlet frame 41. The front panel 42 has an air inlet 421 opposite to the air outlet 411. The front panel 42 is located on the front side of the air outlet frame 41 and connected to the air outlet frame 41. The air outlet frame 41 and the front panel 42 together define a receiving cavity 43. Dividing the air outlet frame assembly 4 into the air outlet frame 41 and the front panel 42 allows for the separate processing of the air outlet frame 41 and the front panel 42, followed by assembly. This facilitates the formation of the receiving cavity 43, reduces processing difficulty, and thereby improves production and assembly efficiency while reducing costs.

[0082] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 9-14 As shown, there are two doors 100. When the air outlet 411 is opened, both doors 100 move away from each other along the width of the air outlet 411. The opening and closing of the air outlet 411 is achieved by the two doors 100 working together. This expands the air outlet 411 while preventing the doors 100 from becoming too large and difficult to control due to excessive weight and size. It also increases the air outlet area while ensuring the stability and reliability of the doors 100's movement. When the air outlet 411 is opened, the two doors 100 move away from each other along the width of the air outlet 411; when the air outlet 411 is closed, they move closer to each other along the width of the air outlet 411. This avoids mutual interference between the two doors 100.

[0083] Furthermore, the air outlet frame assembly 4 is provided with two receiving cavities 43, which are located on both sides of the air outlet 411 in the width direction. When the opening and closing door 100 opens the air outlet 411, at least a portion of the two opening and closing doors 100 is located in the two receiving cavities 43 respectively.

[0084] In some embodiments of this utility model, the air outlet structure 200 further includes a drive mechanism, which is disposed on the air outlet frame assembly 4 and connected to the first support member 2 and the second support member 3. The drive mechanism can provide power for the movement of the door 100, thereby realizing the automated control of opening or closing the air outlet 411 of the door 100, which can improve the user's convenience.

[0085] Furthermore, the drive mechanism includes a drive motor, a gear, and a rack. The output shaft of the drive motor is connected to the gear, and the gear and rack mesh. The rack is connected to the first support member 2 and the second support member 3 respectively. The drive motor can provide rotational power, such as a stepper motor or a DC motor, to precisely control the rotation angle and direction of the output shaft. The gear can transmit the rotational motion of the drive motor to the rack. The rack can convert the rotational motion of the gear into linear motion, thereby directly pushing the door 100 to move to open or close the door 100.

[0086] The following describes an air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0087] An air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: the air outlet structure 200 described above.

[0088] According to the embodiment of this utility model, the air conditioner divides the door 100 into a separately processed door body 1, a first support member 2, and a second support member 3, with the first support member 2 and the second support member 3 respectively connected to both ends of the door body 1 along its length. This design simplifies the structure, allowing for separate processing of the door body 1, the first support member 2, and the second support member 3, thereby reducing processing difficulty. Furthermore, appropriate processing methods can be selected based on the structural characteristics of the door body 1, the first support member 2, and the second support member 3, thereby improving production efficiency and reducing costs.
