Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to air conditioning, specifically providing an air guide plate assembly, an indoor air conditioning unit, and an air conditioning system. Background Technology

[0002] Existing wall-mounted air conditioner indoor units are generally equipped with air guide vanes to adjust the airflow direction, allowing users to change the airflow path according to their needs and achieve a more comfortable airflow effect during cooling or heating operation. Typically, these air guide vanes are driven by a motor or linkage mechanism to swing up and down within a certain range, adjusting the airflow angle. However, the air guide vane structures used in existing air conditioning products are generally quite simple, mostly single-piece fixed-length structures, lacking flexible and deformable designs. Therefore, they have certain limitations in angle adjustment and airflow guidance. The adjustment range of the airflow angle is usually limited by the mechanical structure and installation space. In daily use, users can only make simple adjustments to the airflow direction within a preset, limited angle range, unable to achieve precise control of the airflow direction, and unable to achieve a more personalized and diversified airflow experience according to different usage scenarios or personal preferences.

[0003] Therefore, there is an urgent need in the field for an air guide plate assembly, an indoor air conditioning unit, and an air conditioning system to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] The present invention aims to solve the above-mentioned technical problems, namely, the problems of the air conditioner air guide plate having a single structure, fixed length and limited range of air guiding direction adjustment.

[0005] In a first aspect, the present invention provides an air guide plate assembly, which includes a main body and a plurality of auxiliary plates disposed on the main body, wherein the plurality of auxiliary plates are individually movable relative to the main body, such that a portion of the auxiliary plates extends outward or retracts from the width direction of the main body.

[0006] In a specific embodiment of the above-mentioned air guide plate assembly, the main body is provided with a receiving cavity corresponding to a plurality of auxiliary plates, and the auxiliary plates are slidably disposed in the receiving cavity.

[0007] In a specific embodiment of the above-mentioned air guide plate assembly, the main body includes a limiting part, the auxiliary plate is disposed outside the main body, and the auxiliary plate is movably connected to the limiting part so that the auxiliary plate can move relative to the main body.

[0008] In a specific embodiment of the above-mentioned air guide plate assembly, the air guide plate assembly further includes a driving member that is correspondingly arranged with the auxiliary plate. The driving member is connected to the auxiliary plate in a transmission manner, and the driving member can drive the auxiliary plate to move relative to the main body.

[0009] In a specific embodiment of the above-mentioned air guide plate assembly, the auxiliary plate includes a first rack, the air guide plate assembly further includes a first gear, the driving member is pulsatorically connected to the first gear, and the first gear meshes with the first rack so that the driving member is pulsatorically connected to the auxiliary plate.

[0010] In a specific embodiment of the above-mentioned air guide plate assembly, the air guide plate assembly further includes a reducer, the driving member is connected to the input end of the reducer, and the first gear is connected to the output end of the reducer, so that the driving member is connected to the gear in a transmission manner.

[0011] In a specific embodiment of the above-mentioned air guide plate assembly, the air guide plate assembly further includes a second gear rotatably connected to the main body, and the auxiliary plate further includes a second rack, the second gear meshing with the second rack, and the second gear being coaxially arranged with the first gear; The first rack is disposed at one end of the auxiliary plate along its length, and the second rack is disposed at the other end of the auxiliary plate along its length.

[0012] In a specific embodiment of the above-mentioned air guide plate assembly, the air guide plate assembly further includes a connecting shaft, one end of which is connected to the first gear and the other end of which is connected to the second gear.

[0013] In a second aspect, the present invention provides an air conditioner indoor unit, which includes the air guide plate assembly as described above.

[0014] In a third aspect, the present invention provides an air conditioning system, which includes an indoor air conditioning unit as described above.

[0015] By employing the aforementioned technical solution, this utility model incorporates multiple independently movable auxiliary plate structures within the main body of the air guide plate. Each auxiliary plate can extend or retract according to specific usage requirements, thereby achieving a variable adjustment effect for the overall length of the air guide plate. Compared to traditional single-piece air guide plates, this design allows for flexible adjustment of the air guide plate's extension length based on different operating modes or environmental requirements, enabling wider control over the air outlet path and angle of the indoor air conditioning unit. When multiple auxiliary plates move independently in different ways, not only can the overall length of the air guide plate be extended, changing the overall airflow direction, but multiple different air outlet directions can also be formed through combination adjustments, resulting in a more flexible, rich, and diverse airflow distribution effect. This structure effectively overcomes the shortcomings of existing air guide plates in terms of simple structure, fixed length, and limited range of airflow angle adjustment, significantly improving the comfort, adjustability, and ease of user operation during air supply.

[0016] Furthermore, by setting up receiving cavities corresponding to multiple auxiliary plates inside the main body, and allowing the auxiliary plates to slide within these cavities, the extension and retraction of the auxiliary plates becomes smoother and more reliable, avoiding interference from external structures and jamming. This design not only improves the movement accuracy and stability of the auxiliary plates and ensures the smoothness of the air guide plate adjustment process, but also makes the overall structure more compact and aesthetically pleasing, facilitating assembly and maintenance, thereby further enhancing the service life and product reliability of the air guide plate assembly.

[0017] Furthermore, by setting a limiting part on the main body and movably connecting the auxiliary plate to this limiting part, the auxiliary plate can move flexibly relative to the main body while being effectively guided and constrained by the limiting part, preventing it from falling off or shifting during adjustment. This structure not only ensures the stability and safety of the auxiliary plate's movement and improves the accuracy of airflow adjustment, but also simplifies the connection structure, facilitating assembly and maintenance, thereby enhancing the overall reliability and service life of the airflow guide plate assembly.

[0018] Furthermore, the air guide plate assembly incorporates independent drive components corresponding to each auxiliary plate, with each drive component forming a one-to-one transmission relationship with its corresponding auxiliary plate. These drive components employ a gear and rack transmission structure, using a motor or other drive source to rotate the gears, thereby precisely controlling the rack and the connected auxiliary plates to move smoothly in a straight line relative to the air guide plate body. This mechanical transmission method not only enables precise adjustment of the auxiliary plate positions but also effectively avoids deviations caused by manual operation, improving overall control accuracy and response speed. Simultaneously, this structure offers the advantages of automation and synchronous control, ensuring good coordination and motion stability among multiple auxiliary plates during operation, preventing jamming or deviation. Through this design, the overall length and air outlet angle of the air guide plate can be adjusted more precisely and flexibly, significantly improving the adaptability, comfort, and reliability of the air conditioning system in different usage scenarios.

[0019] Furthermore, by incorporating first and second racks and corresponding first and second gears that mesh with both ends of the auxiliary plate within the air guide plate assembly, and coaxially connecting the two gears, synchronous movement of both ends of the auxiliary plate is achieved. This structure effectively prevents the auxiliary plate from deflecting or jamming during extension and retraction, ensuring smooth and reliable movement. It also improves the overall operational stability and service life of the air guide plate assembly, ensuring more precise and smooth adjustment of the airflow direction. Attached Figure Description

Those skilled in the art should understand that these embodiments are merely illustrative of the technical principles of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0023] It should be noted that in the description of this utility model, the terms "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "inner," and "outer," which indicate directional or positional relationships, are based on the directional or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings. These are merely for ease of description and do not indicate or imply that the device or element must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model. Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0024] Furthermore, it should be noted that, in the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "setting," and "connection" 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 direct connection, an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, or a connection within two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0025] To address the issues of existing air conditioning air guide vanes having a simple structure, fixed length, and limited range of airflow direction adjustment, this embodiment discloses an air conditioning system, which includes an indoor unit 8, as detailed below. Figure 1 In this embodiment, the indoor unit 8 of the air conditioner is specifically a wall-mounted indoor unit.

[0026] Regarding the indoor unit 8 of the air conditioner, it should be noted that although the indoor unit 8 in this embodiment is a wall-mounted indoor unit, this arrangement is not a limitation of this utility model. Without departing from the principles of this utility model, those skilled in the art can use other arrangement methods in other embodiments, such as setting it as a cabinet-type indoor unit or other types of indoor units. This does not depart from the basic principles of this utility model and therefore falls within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0027] The indoor unit 8 of this air conditioner includes an air guide vane assembly. (See reference...) Figure 2 The air guide plate assembly includes a main body 1 and an auxiliary plate. The main body 1 is plate-shaped and is rotatably connected to the air outlet of the indoor unit 8 of the air conditioner. The air guide plate assembly can rotate relative to the indoor unit 8 of the air conditioner to adjust the air outlet direction of the indoor unit 8. The structure of the main body 1 is the same as that of the air guide plate structure in the prior art, and its specific structure will not be described in detail here.

[0028] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The main body 1 has a receiving cavity for accommodating an auxiliary plate. Specifically, the main body 1 is horizontally oriented along its length, with a first receiving cavity 11 on the left side and a second receiving cavity on the right side. The outer wall of the main body 1 has openings communicating with the receiving cavities, each corresponding to one of the cavities. Specifically, a first opening 12 is located on the left side of the main body 1 along its length, communicating with the first receiving cavity 11; a second opening is located on the right side of the main body 1 along its length, communicating with the second receiving cavity. Furthermore, the main body 1 is rotatably connected to the indoor unit 8 of the air conditioner via a rotating shaft, with the opening located at the edge of the outer wall of the main body 1 away from the rotating shaft.

[0029] The auxiliary plates are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the receiving cavities. Specifically, a first auxiliary plate 21 is provided in the first receiving cavity 11, and a second auxiliary plate 22 is provided in the second receiving cavity. The auxiliary plates can extend from the openings to the outside of the main body 1 to extend the length of the main body 1. (Refer to...) Figure 4 and 5 In the diagram, the air guide vane assembly directs the airflow from the indoor unit 8 of the air conditioner upwards. (Refer to...) Figure 4 When the auxiliary panel extends, the airflow direction is biased upwards, which can avoid blowing directly on the human body. (Refer to...) Figure 5 When the auxiliary plates retract into the receiving cavity, the air outlet direction is biased downwards, allowing the air outlet of the indoor unit 8 to directly act on the lower and middle parts of the room, improving the efficiency of regulating indoor temperature and humidity. Furthermore, multiple auxiliary plates can move independently, enabling the indoor unit 8 to generate multiple air outlet directions, allowing users to flexibly control the air outlet direction according to their needs.

[0030] Regarding the auxiliary plates, it should be noted that although there are two auxiliary plates in this embodiment, this arrangement is not a limitation of the present invention. Without departing from the principle of the present invention, those skilled in the art can use other arrangements in other embodiments, such as setting the number of auxiliary plates to three or more. This does not depart from the basic principle of the present invention and therefore will fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0031] Regarding the connection structure between the auxiliary plate and the main body, it should be noted that although the auxiliary plate in this embodiment is located within the receiving cavity inside the main body, this arrangement is not a limitation of the present invention. Without departing from the principle of the present invention, those skilled in the art can employ other arrangements in other embodiments. For example, the main body can be provided with a limiting part, specifically an L-shaped groove, and the auxiliary plate can be located on the inner side of the outer side of the main body, with its edge positioned within the L-shaped groove, allowing the auxiliary plate to move relative to the main body, causing a portion of the auxiliary plate to extend outwards or retract in the width direction of the main body. This does not deviate from the basic principle of the present invention and therefore falls within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0032] Reference Figure 6 The air guide plate assembly also includes a drive assembly, which is configured one-to-one with the auxiliary plates. The specific structure of the drive assembly of the first auxiliary plate 21 is described below as an example. The drive structure of the second auxiliary plate 22 is the same as that of the first auxiliary plate 21, and therefore will not be described further.

[0033] The drive assembly includes a drive component 3, a reducer 4, a first gear 5, a second gear 6, and a connecting shaft 7.

[0034] Reference Figure 7The driving component 3 is specifically a motor. The output shaft of the driving component 3 is connected to the input shaft of the reducer 4, and the output shaft of the reducer 4 is connected to the first gear 5, so that the driving component 3 is connected to the first gear 5 for transmission. The driving component 3 can drive the input shaft of the reducer 4 to rotate, and after transmission within the reducer 4, it drives the output shaft of the reducer 4 to rotate, and the first gear 5 connected to the output shaft of the reducer 4 rotates accordingly. In other words, the driving component 3 can drive the first gear 5 to rotate through the reducer 4.

[0035] The first auxiliary plate 21 includes a first rack 211, and a first gear 5 meshes with the first rack 211. When the driving member 3 drives the first gear 5 to rotate, it can drive the first rack 211 and the first auxiliary plate 21 to move. Further, a portion of the first auxiliary plate 21 passes through the first opening 12 so that the first opening 12 can restrict the direction of movement of the first auxiliary plate 21. When the first gear 5 rotates, it can drive the first auxiliary plate 21 to move along the direction of the first opening 12, that is, to extend out of the main body 1 through the first opening 12 or to be retracted into the first receiving cavity 11.

[0036] Furthermore, the first auxiliary plate 21 is approximately rectangular in shape. A first rack 211 is provided at one end along the length of the first auxiliary plate 21, and a second rack 212 is provided at the other end, as detailed below. Figure 8 The first rack 211 extends in the same direction as the second rack 212. The second gear 6 is rotatably connected to the main body 1 and meshes with the second rack 212. The second gear 6 is coaxially arranged with the first gear 5. Furthermore, one end of the connecting shaft 7 is connected to the first gear 5, and the other end is connected to the second gear 6, so that the second gear 6 is coaxially arranged with the first gear 5. This arrangement allows the two ends of the first auxiliary plate 21 to move synchronously in the length direction, preventing the first auxiliary plate 21 from deflecting or jamming.

[0037] The technical solution of this utility model has been described in conjunction with the preferred embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings. However, it will be readily understood by those skilled in the art that the protection scope of this utility model is obviously not limited to these specific embodiments. Without departing from the principle of this utility model, those skilled in the art can make equivalent changes or substitutions to the relevant technical features, and the technical solutions after these changes or substitutions will all fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
