Detailed Implementation

[0022] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be arbitrarily combined with each other.

[0023] The air guide plate assembly provided in the embodiments of this application, such as Figures 1 to 6As shown, it includes: a thermal insulation component 200; and a split-structure air guide plate 100. The air guide plate 100 has an installation chamber 130 inside, and the thermal insulation component 200 is disposed in the installation chamber 130. The outer surface of the air guide plate 100 includes a decorative surface 111 and other surfaces. At least one of the other surfaces is provided with an observation hole 122. The observation hole 122 is connected to the installation chamber 130 and is used to observe whether the installation chamber 130 is missing the thermal insulation component 200.

[0024] This air guide plate assembly allows for inspection of whether the insulation component 200 is missing inside the air guide plate 100 without disassembling the air guide plate 100, thus better ensuring product quality.

[0025] In some examples, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the outer surface of the air guide plate 100 includes a first side surface and a second side surface 121 opposite to each other in a first direction. The decorative surface 111 includes the first side surface, and the other surfaces include the second side surface 121. The observation hole 122 is located on the second side surface 121. The decorative surface 111 is an exposed surface, and the observation hole 122 is located on the back side of the decorative surface 111 and is blocked by the decorative surface 111. The user cannot observe the observation hole 122 from the front side of the decorative surface 111. That is, in this solution, the air guide plate assembly is applied to the indoor unit of the air conditioner, the decorative surface 111 is exposed, and the observation hole 122 is not exposed, so the indoor unit of the air conditioner is more aesthetically pleasing.

[0026] Alternatively, the observation hole 122 can be located on one or two end faces of the air guide plate 100 in the second direction; or it can be located on one or two end faces of the air guide plate 100 in the third direction, etc. All of the above can achieve the purpose of this application, and their purpose has not deviated from the design concept of this utility model. They will not be elaborated here, and all should fall within the protection scope of this application.

[0027] In some examples, the second side 121 is provided with a connecting portion 125, and the observation hole 122 is located close to the connecting portion 125. The distance between the observation hole 122 and the connecting portion 125 may be no greater than 20 mm, preferably no greater than 10 mm. The air guide plate 100 is connected to the mating part at the air outlet of the air conditioner indoor unit body via the connecting portion 125. The connecting portion 125 can be movably connected to the mating part of the body, for example, by pivotal hinge, sliding connection via sliders and grooves, or movably connected via gears and racks. The observation hole 122 is located close to the connecting portion 125, and the connecting portion 125 can obscure the observation hole 122 at certain angles, making the observation hole 122 not clearly visible from the exterior of the body.

[0028] In some examples, such as Figures 1 to 6As shown, a connecting part 125 and an observation hole 122 are provided at one end or in the middle of the second side surface 121 in the second direction. The connecting part 125 and the observation hole 122 are arranged sequentially in the third direction, and the first direction, the second direction and the third direction intersect each other.

[0029] In one embodiment, a connecting part 125 and an observation hole 122 are provided at one end of the second side surface 121 in the second direction. The connecting part 125 is hinged to the mating part of the body of the air conditioner indoor unit (that is, the air guide plate assembly is hinged to the air outlet of the body, and at this time, the other end of the second side surface 121 in the second direction can swing around the connecting part 125). The connecting part 125 and the observation hole 122 are arranged in sequence in the third direction. In this way, the body of the air conditioner indoor unit will cover the observation hole 122. Even if the air guide plate assembly swings to the position of opening the air outlet, the body will still cover the observation hole 122 because the relative position of the observation hole 122 and the connecting part 125 remains unchanged. Therefore, the user will basically not see the observation hole 122. This makes the air conditioner indoor unit more aesthetically pleasing. Moreover, since the body covers the observation hole 122, dust is not easy to enter the observation hole 122.

[0030] In another embodiment, a connecting portion 125 and an observation hole 122 are provided in the middle of the second side surface 121 in the second direction. An arc-shaped guide rail and a transmission mechanism are provided on the opposite end wall of the third-direction unit. The air guide plate 100 is an arc-shaped plate, with arc-shaped racks and observation holes 122 at both ends of the concave side of the arc-shaped plate in the third direction. The connecting portion 125 is an arc-shaped rack. The decorative surface 111 is located on the convex side of the arc-shaped plate, and its two ends on the third-direction air guide plate 100 correspond to and cooperate with the two arc-shaped guide rails of the unit. The driving mechanism has a transmission gear that meshes with the arc-shaped rack. When the driving mechanism drives the air guide plate assembly to move along the arc-shaped guide rail to close the air outlet, the decorative surface 111 faces the outside of the unit, and the observation hole 122 is hidden inside the unit, so the user will not see the observation hole 122, thus improving the aesthetics of the air conditioner indoor unit.

[0031] In some examples, such as Figures 1 to 6 As shown, a connecting seat 123 is also provided at one end or in the middle of the second side 121 in the second direction. The connecting seat 123 includes two lugs 124 arranged sequentially in the third direction. The observation hole 122 is located between the two lugs 124. Each lug 124 is provided with a connecting part 125 (which can be a hinge notch or hinge shaft; or it can be a slider or slide groove). In this solution, the two lugs 124 cover the observation hole 122 in the third direction, and the observation hole 122 is also covered at the mating part on the body. This makes the observation hole 122 better hidden in the body, and the user will basically not see the observation hole 122.

[0032] In some examples, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, a transmission seat 126 is also provided at one end or in the middle of the second side 121 in the second direction, and the transmission seat 126 is also located at the end of the air guide plate 100 in the third direction. The body of the air conditioner indoor unit is provided with a transmission mechanism, which is connected to the transmission seat 126. The drive mechanism is used to drive the air guide plate assembly to swing to open and close the air outlet. When the air guide plate assembly closes the air outlet, the decorative surface 111 faces the outside of the body, and the observation hole 122 is hidden inside the body.

[0033] In one embodiment, a transmission seat 126, a connecting seat 123, and an observation hole 122 are provided at one end of the second side surface 121 in the second direction. The connecting seat 123 has a hinge notch, and the transmission seat 126 has a non-circular transmission hole. The mating part of the body is a hinge shaft, and the hinge notch can be oscillatingly fitted onto the hinge shaft. The transmission shaft of the transmission mechanism passes through the transmission hole and is used to drive the air guide plate assembly to oscillate. In this scheme, the air guide plate assembly and the body can be pivotally hinged through the connecting part 125 and the mating part.

[0034] In another embodiment, a transmission seat 126, a connecting seat 123, and an observation hole 122 are provided in the middle of the second side surface 121 in the second direction. The connecting seat 123 is provided with a slider, the transmission seat 126 is provided with an arc-shaped rack, the air guide plate is an arc-shaped plate, the mating part of the body is a groove, the slider is movably disposed in the groove, and the transmission mechanism has a transmission gear that meshes with the arc-shaped rack to drive the air guide plate assembly to move. In this solution, the air guide plate assembly and the body are movably connected through the connecting part 125 and the mating part.

The decorative surface 111 is located on the side of the outer body 110 facing away from the inner body 120, and the observation hole 122 is located on the side wall of the inner body 120.

[0040] Among them, such as Figure 2 As shown, the outer body 110 also has an annular peripheral wall, and the inner body 120 also has an annular peripheral wall. The peripheral wall of the inner body 120 is located inside the peripheral wall of the outer body 110, and one end of the peripheral wall of the inner body 120 is inserted into and engaged with one end of the peripheral wall of the outer body 110 in the second direction (see...).
