Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air conditioning technology, and in particular to an air conditioner. Background Technology

[0002] In related technologies, when an air conditioner switches from the off state to the heating mode, a large gap is left between the air guide plate and the upper edge of the air outlet to ensure that the air guide plate can rotate smoothly from the closed position inward.

[0003] However, when the air conditioner is off, the air deflector is in the closed position. The large gap between the deflector and the upper edge of the air outlet allows foreign objects to easily enter the air conditioner, and also detracts from its aesthetics. Therefore, there is a need for improvement. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. To this end, this utility model proposes an air conditioner that not only ensures that the air guide plate rotates smoothly inward, but also reduces the entry of foreign objects into the air conditioner and improves the aesthetic appearance of the air conditioner.

[0005] An air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present invention includes an air conditioner body, an air guide assembly, and a drive assembly. The air conditioner body extends horizontally in its length direction and vertically in its height direction. The air conditioner body has an air duct and an air outlet. The air outlet is located at the lower part of the air conditioner body and communicates with the outlet of the air duct. The air guide assembly includes an air guide plate and a power component. The air guide plate is located at the air outlet. The power component is connected to the air guide plate and is used to drive the air guide plate to rotate, so that the air guide plate covers or opens the air outlet. The drive assembly is located in the air conditioner body and connected to the air guide assembly, and is used to drive the air guide assembly to move between a first position and a second position to change the position of the rotation axis of the air guide plate. Specifically, when the air guide assembly is in the first position and the air guide plate is covering the air outlet, the distance between the air guide plate and the upper edge of the air outlet is L1. When the air guide assembly is in the second position and the air guide plate is covering the air outlet, the distance between the air guide plate and the upper edge of the air outlet is L2, where L2 is greater than L1.

On the one hand, when the air conditioner is started, the drive component can drive the air guide component to move from the first position to the second position, thereby increasing the distance between the air guide plate and the upper edge of the air outlet, so that the air guide plate can rotate normally under the drive of the power component without colliding with the upper edge of the air outlet. On the other hand, when the air conditioner is turned off, the air guide plate can be reset by the joint drive of the drive component and the power component, so that the gap between the air guide plate and the upper edge of the air outlet is not too large, reducing the probability of foreign objects entering the air conditioner and improving the aesthetics of the air conditioner to a certain extent.

Detailed Implementation

[0025] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0026] The following is for reference. Figures 1-10 This invention describes an air conditioner 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0027] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 According to an embodiment of the present utility model, the air conditioner 100 includes an air conditioner body 10.

[0028] The length of the air conditioner body 10 extends in the left-right direction, and the height of the air conditioner body 10 extends in the up-down direction. The air conditioner body 10 has an air duct 11 and an air outlet 12. The air outlet 12 is located at the lower part of the air conditioner body 10 and is connected to the outlet of the air duct 11.

[0029] The term "lower part of the air conditioner body 10" here can refer to the lower part of the side wall of the air conditioner body 10, that is, the air outlet 12 can be located on the lower part of the side wall of the air conditioner body 10; or it can refer to the bottom of the air conditioner body 10, for example, the air outlet 12 can be located on the front bottom of the air conditioner body 10. Of course, the air outlet 12 can also be located partly on the lower part of the side wall of the air conditioner body 10 and partly on the front bottom of the air conditioner body 10.

[0030] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 8 The air conditioner 100 also includes an air guide assembly 20, which includes an air guide plate 21 and a power component 22. The air guide plate 21 is located at the air outlet 12, and the power component 22 is connected to the air guide plate 21 to drive the air guide plate 21 to rotate so that the air guide plate 21 covers or opens the air outlet 12.

[0031] The phrase "air guide plate 21 covering air outlet 12" refers to the state where the projection of air guide plate 21 onto the plane or curved surface of air outlet 12 is at its maximum area. For example, it could be a state where one edge of air guide plate 21 is in contact with the upper edge of air outlet 12, or a state where one edge of air guide plate 21 forms a small gap with the upper edge of air outlet 12. Similarly, it could be a state where the other edge of air guide plate 21 is in contact with the lower edge of air outlet 12, or a state where the other edge of air guide plate 21 forms a small gap with the lower edge of air outlet 12.

[0032] Reference Figures 2-5 , Figure 8 The air conditioner 100 also includes a drive assembly 30, which is disposed on the air conditioner body 10 and connected to the air guide assembly 20. The drive assembly 30 is used to drive the air guide assembly 20 to move between a first position and a second position to change the position of the rotation axis of the air guide plate 21.

[0033] Among them, reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 When the air guide assembly 20 is in the first position and the air guide plate 21 is covering the air outlet 12, the distance between the air guide plate 21 and the upper edge of the air outlet 12 is L1, referring to... Figure 4 and Figure 5 When the air guide assembly 20 is in the second position and the air guide plate 21 is covering the air outlet 12, the distance between the air guide plate 21 and the upper edge of the air outlet 12 is L2, and L2 is greater than L1.

[0034] For example, when the air conditioner 100 is in the off state, the air guide assembly 20 is in the first position and the air guide plate 21 is in the state of covering the air outlet 12. At this time, the distance between the air guide plate 21 and the upper edge of the air outlet 12 is L1, that is, the gap between the air guide plate 21 and the air outlet 12 is small, which can reduce the probability of foreign objects entering the air conditioner 100 and can also improve the aesthetics of the air conditioner to a certain extent.

[0035] When the air conditioner 100 switches from the off state to the heating mode, if the power component 22 directly drives the air guide plate 21 to rotate upward, there is a risk that the air guide plate 21 will collide with the upper edge of the air outlet 12, affecting the smooth rotation of the air guide plate 21.

[0036] In the example of this application, when the air conditioner 100 switches from the off state to the heating mode, the drive component 30 can drive the air guide component 20 from the first position to the second position, so that the distance between the air guide plate 21 and the upper edge of the air outlet 12 is L2, that is, the gap between the air guide plate 21 and the air outlet 12 increases, and the position of the rotation axis of the air guide plate 21 is changed. Therefore, when the power component 22 drives the air guide plate 21 to rotate upward, the air guide plate 21 will not collide with the upper edge of the air outlet 12, so that the air guide plate 21 can rotate to the set position.

[0037] When the air conditioner 100 is turned off, the power unit 22 drives the air guide plate 21 to rotate and reset. Then the drive assembly 30 drives the air guide assembly 20 to move from the second position to the first position, so that the distance between the air guide plate 21 and the upper edge of the air outlet 12 is restored to L1.

[0038] According to the embodiment of the present invention, the air conditioner 100, by setting the air guide assembly 20 and the drive assembly 30, can use the drive assembly 30 to drive the air guide assembly 20 to move between a first position and a second position, thereby changing the position of the rotation axis of the air guide plate 21. On the one hand, when the air conditioner 100 is started, the drive assembly 30 drives the air guide assembly 20 to move from the first position to the second position, thereby increasing the distance between the air guide plate 21 and the upper edge of the air outlet 12, so that the air guide plate 21 can rotate normally under the drive of the power component 22 without colliding with the upper edge of the air outlet 12. On the other hand, when the air conditioner 100 is turned off, the air guide plate 21 can be reset by the joint drive of the drive assembly 30 and the power component 22, so that the gap between the air guide plate 21 and the upper edge of the air outlet 12 is not too large, reducing the probability of foreign objects entering the air conditioner 100, and improving the aesthetics of the air conditioner 100 to a certain extent.

[0039] Reference Figures 2-3 In some embodiments, L1 is less than or equal to 2 mm. For example, L1 can be 0 mm, 1 mm, 2 mm, etc.

[0040] In other words, when the air guide assembly 20 is in the first position and the air guide plate 21 is covering the air outlet 12, the distance between the air guide plate 21 and the upper edge of the air outlet 12 is small. When the air conditioner 100 is in the off state, the distance between the air guide plate 21 and the upper edge of the air outlet 12 can be L1, thereby reducing the probability of foreign objects entering the air conditioner 100 and improving the aesthetics of the air conditioner to a certain extent.

[0041] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 In some embodiments, L2 is greater than or equal to 4 mm. For example, L2 can be 4 mm, 5 mm, 6 mm, etc.

[0042] In other words, when the air guide assembly 20 is in the second position and the air guide plate 21 is covering the air outlet 12, the distance between the air guide plate 21 and the upper edge of the air outlet 12 is large, so that the upper edge of the air outlet 12 can avoid the air guide plate 21, thereby ensuring that the air guide plate 21 can rotate smoothly.

[0043] In some embodiments, L1 is less than or equal to 2 mm, and L2 is greater than or equal to 4 mm.

[0044] In the above technical solution, by setting L1 to less than or equal to 2mm, the probability of foreign objects entering the air conditioner 100 can be reduced, and the aesthetics of the air conditioner 100 can be improved to a certain extent. Setting L2 to greater than or equal to 4mm can prevent the air guide plate 21 from colliding with the upper edge of the air outlet 12 during rotation, ensuring that the air guide plate 21 can rotate smoothly.

[0045] Reference Figure 6 and Figure 7 In some embodiments, the power unit 22 is configured to drive the air guide plate 21 to rotate when the air guide assembly 20 is in the second position.

[0046] For example, after the air conditioner 100 is turned on, the drive assembly 30 drives the air guide assembly 20 to move from the first position to the second position, at which time the power component 22 drives the air guide plate 21 to rotate.

[0047] Specifically, when the air conditioner 100 is cooling, the power component 22 drives the air guide plate 21 to rotate downwards so that the cold air flows upwards as much as possible; when the air conditioner 100 is heating, the power component 22 drives the air guide plate 21 to rotate upwards so that the warm air flows downwards as much as possible; of course, when the air conditioner 100 is working, the power component 22 can also drive the air guide plate 21 to rotate within a certain angle range so as to achieve multi-angle air delivery by the air conditioner 100.

[0048] When the air conditioner 100 is turned off, the power component 22 drives the air guide plate 21 to reset, and then the drive assembly 30 drives the air guide assembly 20 to move from the second position to the first position to reduce the distance between the air guide plate 21 and the upper edge of the air outlet 12.

[0049] It should be noted that "power component 22 drives air guide plate 21 to reset" means that power component 22 drives air guide plate 21 to reset to the state where air guide assembly 20 is in the second position and air guide plate 21 is covering air outlet 12.

[0050] In the above technical solution, by configuring the power component 22 to drive the air guide plate 21 to rotate when the air guide assembly 20 is in the second position, the upper edge of the air outlet 12 can effectively avoid the air guide plate 21, ensuring that the air guide plate 21 can rotate smoothly. This allows the air conditioner 100 to achieve different air supply modes in cooling or heating modes, and also allows the air conditioner 100 to supply air from multiple angles, which is beneficial to improving the cooling and heating effect of the air conditioner 100 and improving the user experience.

[0051] Reference Figure 6 and Figure 7 In some specific embodiments, the air duct 11 has a first air duct wall 111 and a second air duct wall 112 disposed opposite to each other. The first air duct wall 111 corresponds to the upper edge of the air outlet 12, and the second air duct wall 112 is located below the first air duct wall 111 and corresponds to the lower edge of the air outlet 12.

[0052] In the second position, the power component 22 is adapted to drive the air guide plate 21 to rotate upward to open the air outlet 12, so that a heating air outlet channel 13 is formed between the air guide plate 21 and the second air duct wall 112, and / or, in the second position, the power component 22 is adapted to drive the air guide plate 21 to rotate downward to open the air outlet 12, so that a cooling air outlet channel 14 is formed between the air guide plate 21 and the first air duct wall 111.

[0053] Here, "the air guide plate 21 rotates upwards" means that the upper edge of the air guide plate 21 rotates inwards along the air duct 11 while the lower edge rotates outwards along the air duct 11, causing the air guide plate 21 to rotate from the position covering the air outlet 12 to... Figure 6 It is located above the axis of rotation.

[0054] Conversely, "the air guide plate 21 rotates downwards" means that the upper edge of the air guide plate 21 rotates outwards along the air duct 11 while the lower edge rotates inwards along the air duct 11, causing the air guide plate 21 to rotate from the position covering the air outlet 12 to... Figure 7 The position is rotated to the position below the axis of rotation.

[0055] This configuration allows the air conditioner 100 to form a heating air outlet channel 13 between the air guide plate 21 and the second air duct wall 112 in heating mode, so that the hot air from the air conditioner 100 can be blown downwards as much as possible. Due to the physical properties of hot air, the downward-blown hot air will gradually rise, ultimately resulting in a more even distribution of hot air in the room, which can improve the heating effect of the air conditioner 100 to a certain extent. In cooling mode, the air guide plate 21 can form a cooling channel between the air conditioner 100 and the first air duct wall 111, so that the cold air from the air conditioner 100 can be blown upwards as much as possible. Due to the physical properties of cold air, the blown cold air will gradually sink, ultimately resulting in a more even distribution of cold air in the room, which can improve the cooling capacity of the air conditioner 100 to a certain extent, allowing users to have a better user experience.

[0056] Reference Figure 8 and Figure 9 In some examples, the drive assembly 30 includes a first housing 31 having a first receiving cavity 31a and a first through hole 31b. The power component 22 is disposed in the first receiving cavity 31a, and the power output shaft 221 of the power component 22 extends out of the first housing 31 from the first through hole 31b and is connected to the air guide plate 21.

[0057] The drive assembly 30 also includes a drive motor 32, which is located outside the first receiving cavity 31a and connected to the first housing 31. The first housing 31 also has a second through hole 31c. The drive motor 32 has a first motor shaft 321, which extends from the second through hole 31c into the first receiving cavity 31a and is connected to the power component 22. The first motor shaft 321 of the drive motor 32 is used to drive the power component 22 to rotate, so as to make the air guide assembly 20 move.

[0058] When the air conditioner 100 is working, the drive motor 32 can drive the power component 22 to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise around the first motor shaft 321 of the drive motor 32. That is, the air guide component 20 can be moved from the first position to the second position, or the air guide component 20 can be moved from the second position to the first position, thereby changing the position of the rotation axis of the air guide plate 21.

[0059] Specifically, the power output shaft 221 of the power component 22 extends out of the first housing 31 from the first through hole 31b and is connected to the air guide plate 21. After the air guide assembly 20 moves from the first position to the second position, the air guide plate 21 can rotate counterclockwise or clockwise around the power output shaft 221 of the power component 22 under the drive of the power component 22, so that the air guide plate 21 can deliver air at multiple angles.

[0060] After the air conditioner 100 is turned off, the air guide plate 21 rotates clockwise or counterclockwise around the power output shaft 221 of the power component 22 under the drive of the power component 22, so that the air guide plate 21 is reset. Even if the air guide plate 21 is reset to cover the air outlet 12, the drive component 30 drives the air guide component 20 to move from the second position to the first position, so that the gap between the air guide plate 21 and the upper edge of the air outlet 12 is reduced.

[0061] In the above technical solution, by setting the power component 22 in the first receiving cavity 31a, the first housing 31 can protect the power component 22, prevent the power component 22 from being impacted by the outside, and reduce the risk of damage to the power component 22; by extending the power output shaft 221 of the power component 22 out of the first housing 31 from the first through hole 31b, the power output shaft 221 of the power component 22 can be connected to the air guide plate 21, so that the power component 22 can drive the air guide plate 21 to rotate, so that the air guide plate 21 can meet the normal air supply function of the air conditioner 100.

[0062] Furthermore, by placing the drive motor 32 outside the first receiving cavity 31a and connecting it to the first housing 31, the position of the drive motor 32 can be fixed. By extending the first motor shaft 321 of the drive motor 32 into the first receiving cavity 31a through the second through hole 31c, the first motor shaft 321 of the drive motor 32 can be connected to the power component 22. Thus, the drive motor 32 drives the power component 22 to rotate inside the first housing 31, thereby changing the position of the rotation axis of the air guide plate 21. This allows the upper edge of the air outlet 12 to avoid the air guide plate 21, ensuring that the air guide plate 21 can rotate smoothly.

[0063] Reference Figure 8 In some specific examples, the rotation angle of the power component 22 within the first housing 31 is 0°-70°. For example, the rotation angle of the power component 22 within the first housing 31 can be 0°, 1°, 5°, 10°, 30°, 50°, 70°, etc. Therefore, by setting the rotation angle of the power component 22 within the first housing 31 to 0°-70°, the rotation axis of the air guide plate 21 can move within a certain angle range, allowing the upper edge of the air outlet 12 to more effectively avoid the air guide plate 21, significantly reducing the probability of the air guide plate 21 colliding with the upper edge of the air outlet 12, and ensuring that the air guide plate 21 can rotate smoothly.

[0064] Reference Figure 9 and Figure 10 In some embodiments, the first perforation 31b is an arc-shaped groove that extends circumferentially along the first motor shaft 321 of the drive motor 32 to limit the power output shaft 221 of the power component 22 so that the air guide assembly 20 can move between the first position and the second position.

[0065] Since the first motor shaft 321 of the drive motor 32 extends into the first receiving cavity 31a through the second through hole 31c and is connected to the power component 22, that is, the power component 22 rotates around the first motor shaft 321 of the drive motor 32 in the first housing 31. Therefore, the movement trajectory of the power component 22 in the first housing 31 is an arc with the axis of the first motor shaft 321 of the drive motor 32 as the center.

[0066] Therefore, in the above technical solution, by setting the first perforation 31b as an arc-shaped groove and extending the arc-shaped groove along the circumference of the first motor shaft 321 of the drive motor 32, on the one hand, the arc-shaped groove fits the movement trajectory of the power output shaft 221 of the power component 22, avoiding interference between the power output shaft 221 of the power component 22 and the groove wall of the arc-shaped groove during the rotation of the power component 22, thereby affecting the normal rotation of the power component 22 in the first housing 31. On the other hand, the arc-shaped groove can limit the power output shaft 221 of the power component 22 at both ends of the circumferential extension, preventing the rotation angle of the power component 22 from being too large, causing the air guide plate 21 to collide with the lower edge of the air outlet 12.

[0067] Reference Figure 9 In some embodiments, the first housing 31 includes a first housing body 311 and a first cover 312, which are disposed opposite to each other and detachably connected, and the first housing body 311 and the first cover 312 together define a first receiving cavity 31a.

[0068] The first perforation 31b is provided in one of the first housing 311 and the first cover 312; the second perforation 31c is provided in the other of the first housing 311 and the first cover 312, and the drive motor 32 is fixed to the other of the first housing 311 and the first cover 312.

[0069] In the above technical solution, by setting the first housing 31 to include a first housing body 311 and a first cover 312, and detachably connecting the first housing body 311 and the first cover 312, not only can the difficulty of installing the power component 22 be reduced, but also the subsequent maintenance and replacement of the power component 22 can be facilitated, and the power component 22 can be protected from external impacts.

[0070] For example, the first through hole 31b is provided in the first cover 312, the second through hole 31c is provided in the first housing 311, and the drive motor 32 is fixed to the first housing 311; of course, the first through hole 31b can also be provided in the first housing 311, the second through hole 31c can be provided in the first cover 312, and the drive motor 32 can be fixed to the first cover 312.

[0071] Continue to refer to Figure 9In some specific embodiments, the drive motor 32 is provided with a first connecting lug 322, and the first housing 311 or the first cover 312 is provided with a first connecting part 3112. The drive motor 32 is fixed to the first housing 311 or the first cover 312 by a first fastener 33, and the first fastener 33 passes through the first connecting lug 322 and the first connecting part 3112.

[0072] With this configuration, the first fastener 33 can be inserted through the first connecting lug 322 and the first connecting part 3112 to fix the drive motor 32 to the first housing 311 or the first cover 312, thereby preventing the drive motor 32 from shifting or falling off when the drive power component 22 rotates.

[0073] For example, the drive motor 32 is fixed on the first housing 311, the first housing 311 is provided with a first connecting part 3112, and the first fastener 33 passes through the first connecting lug 322 and the first connecting part 3112, thereby fixing the drive motor 32 to the first housing 311.

[0074] For example, the drive motor 32 is fixed on the first cover 312, the first cover 312 is provided with a first connecting part 3112, and the first fastener 33 passes through the first connecting lug 322 and the first connecting part 3112, thereby fixing the drive motor 32 to the first cover.

[0075] Refer again Figure 9 In some examples, one of the first housing 311 and the first cover 312 is provided with a first snap-fit ​​portion 3111, and the other is provided with a first snap-fit ​​mating portion 3121, wherein the first snap-fit ​​portion 3111 and the first snap-fit ​​mating portion 3121 are snap-fit ​​mating.

[0076] In the above technical solution, by using the snap-fit ​​of the first snap-fit ​​part 3111 and the first snap-fit ​​mating part 3121, the first shell 311 and the first cover 312 can be connected together to form the first shell 31. Furthermore, while ensuring the reliability of the connection, the difficulty of connection and disassembly can be reduced.

[0077] For example, the first housing 311 is provided with a first snap-fit ​​portion 3111, and the first cover 312 is provided with a first snap-fit ​​mating portion 3121; of course, the first cover 312 may also be provided with a first snap-fit ​​portion 3111, and the first housing 311 may be provided with a first snap-fit ​​mating portion 3121.

[0078] In some specific examples, the first snap-fit ​​portion 3111 can be a first snap-fit ​​protrusion, the first snap-fit ​​mating portion 3121 can be a first snap-fit ​​tongue, a first snap-fit ​​hole is formed on the first snap-fit ​​tongue, and the first snap-fit ​​protrusion engages with the first snap-fit ​​hole, thereby enabling the snap-fit ​​connection between the first shell 311 and the first cover 312.

[0079] In some specific examples, there can be multiple first snap-fit ​​portions 3111 and multiple first snap-fit ​​mating portions 3121, with each of the multiple first snap-fit ​​portions 3111 and the multiple first snap-fit ​​mating portions 3121 engaging in a one-to-one snap-fit ​​mating, thereby improving the connection reliability between the first housing 311 and the first cover 312.

[0080] For example, in an example where the first housing 311 is provided with a first snap-fit ​​portion 3111 and the first cover 312 is provided with a first snap-fit ​​mating portion 3121, a plurality of first snap-fit ​​portions 3111 are arranged circumferentially at intervals in the first housing 311, and a plurality of first snap-fit ​​mating portions 3121 are arranged circumferentially at intervals in the first cover 312.

[0081] For example, in an example where the first cover 312 is provided with a first snap-fit ​​portion 3111 and the first shell 311 is provided with a first snap-fit ​​mating portion 3121, a plurality of first snap-fit ​​portions 3111 are arranged circumferentially at intervals in the first cover 312 and a plurality of first snap-fit ​​mating portions 3121 are arranged circumferentially at intervals in the first shell 311.

[0082] Reference Figures 8-10 In some embodiments, the inner surface of the first housing 31 is provided with a plurality of first support protrusions (not shown in the figure). When the drive motor 32 drives the power component 22 to move, the first support protrusions slide in cooperation with the outer surface of the power component 22. Alternatively, the outer surface of the power component 22 is provided with a plurality of second support protrusions 222. When the drive motor 32 drives the power component 22 to move, the second support protrusions 222 slide in cooperation with the inner surface of the first housing 31.

[0083] In the above technical solution, by providing multiple first support protrusions on the inner surface of the first housing 31, or providing multiple second support protrusions 222 on the outer surface of the power component 22, the first support protrusions can slide against the outer surface of the power component 22, or the second support protrusions 222 can slide against the inner surface of the first housing 31, while the drive motor 32 is driving the power component 22. This reduces the contact area between the power component 22 and the first housing 31, thereby reducing the friction force when the power component 22 moves within the first housing 31. This makes the movement of the power component 22 within the first housing 31 smoother, and the drive motor 32 can drive the power component 22 with a smaller output of power, which helps to reduce energy consumption.

[0084] For example, the inner surface of the first housing 31 is provided with a plurality of first support protrusions, while the outer surface of the power component 22 is not provided with second support protrusions 222. When the drive motor 32 drives the power component 22 to move, the plurality of first support protrusions slide in cooperation with the outer surface of the power component 22, which can reduce the friction of the power component 22 moving in the first housing 31 and make the movement of the power component 22 in the first housing 31 smoother.

[0085] For example, the inner surface of the first housing 31 is not provided with the first support protrusion, and the outer surface of the power component 22 is provided with a plurality of second support protrusions 222. When the drive motor 32 drives the power component 22 to move, the plurality of second support protrusions 222 slide in cooperation with the inner surface of the first housing 31, which can reduce the friction of the power component 22 moving in the first housing 31 and make the movement of the power component 22 in the first housing 31 smoother.

[0086] For example, the inner surface of the first housing 31 is provided with a plurality of first support protrusions, while the outer surface of the power component 22 is provided with a plurality of second support protrusions 222. The positions of the plurality of first support protrusions and the plurality of second support protrusions 222 do not overlap in pairs. When the drive motor 32 drives the power component 22, the plurality of first support protrusions slide against the outer surface of the power component 22, and the plurality of second support protrusions 222 slide against the inner surface of the first housing 31. This reduces the frictional force on the power component 22 within the first housing 31, making its movement within the first housing 31 smoother.

[0087] Reference Figure 10 In some specific embodiments, the power component 22 includes a second housing 223 and a rotary motor 224. The second housing 223 has a second receiving cavity 223a and a third through hole 223b. The third through hole 223b is disposed opposite to and communicates with the first through hole 31b. The rotary motor 224 is disposed in the second receiving cavity 223a and connected to the second housing 223. The rotary motor 224 has a second motor shaft 2241.

[0088] In some embodiments, the second motor shaft 2241 is a power output shaft 221. A portion of the second motor shaft 2241 extends out of the second housing 223 through the third through hole 223b and out of the first housing 31 through the first through hole 31b. The second motor shaft 2241 is connected to the air guide plate 21. Thus, the second motor shaft 2241 can be directly connected to the air guide plate 21, thereby accurately driving the air guide plate 21 to rotate.

[0089] In other embodiments, the second motor shaft 2241 is connected to the power output shaft 221, the power output shaft 221 extends out of the second housing 223 from the third through hole 223b and extends out of the first housing 31 from the first through hole 31b, and the power output shaft 221 is connected to the air guide plate 21.

[0090] Since the mating structure between the power output shaft 221 and the air guide plate 21 can be designed according to specific usage requirements, using the power output shaft 221 to connect the second motor shaft 2241 and the air guide plate 21 can greatly improve the versatility of the rotating motor 224. Furthermore, the power output shaft 221 can increase its axial dimension, which provides greater convenience for the connection between the second motor shaft 2241 and the air guide plate 21.

[0091] In the above technical solution, by placing the rotating motor 224 in the second receiving cavity 223a and connecting it to the second housing 223, the second housing 223 can protect the rotating motor 224, preventing it from being damaged by external impacts and thus causing the air guide plate 21 to be unable to rotate. By setting the third through hole 223b opposite to the first through hole 31b, the second motor shaft 2241 of the rotating motor can pass through the third through hole 223b and the first through hole 31b in sequence, thereby connecting it to the air guide plate 21. By setting the second motor shaft 2241 to be directly connected to the air guide plate 21, or indirectly connected to the air guide plate 21 through the power output shaft 221, the rotating motor 224 can accurately drive the air guide plate 21 to rotate, which facilitates the air supply of the air conditioner at more than 100 angles.

[0092] Refer again Figure 10 In some specific embodiments, the second housing 223 includes a second housing body 2231 and a second cover 2232, the second housing body 2231 and the second cover 2232 are detachably connected, and a second receiving cavity 223a is defined between them, and the rotating motor 224 is connected to the second housing body 2231 and / or the second cover 2232.

[0093] In the above technical solution, by configuring the second housing 223 to include a second housing body 2231 and a second cover 2232, and detachably connecting the second housing body 2231 and the second cover 2232, the connection between the second cover 2232 and the second housing 223 defines the second receiving cavity 223a. This not only provides installation space for the rotating motor 224, but also protects the rotating motor 224 located in the second receiving cavity 223a from external impacts, preventing damage to the rotating motor 224 and thus preventing the air guide plate 21 from rotating. Simultaneously, the detachable connection between the second housing body 2231 and the second cover 2232 facilitates the placement and removal of the rotating motor 224, providing convenience for subsequent maintenance and replacement of the rotating motor 224.

[0094] For example, the rotating motor 224 may be connected only to the second housing 2231, or the rotating motor 224 may be connected only to the second cover 2232. Of course, the rotating motor 224 may also be connected to both the second housing 2231 and the second cover 2232 at the same time.

[0095] Continue to refer to Figure 10 In some embodiments, the rotating motor 224 is provided with a second connecting lug 2242, and the second housing 2231 or the second cover 2232 is provided with a second connecting part 22322. The rotating motor 224 is fixed to the second housing 2231 or the second cover 2232 by a second fastener 225, which passes through the second connecting lug 2242 and the second connecting part 22322.

[0096] In the above technical solution, by using the second fastener 225 to pass through the second connecting lug 2242 and the second connecting part 22322, the rotating motor 224 can be fixed to the second housing 2231 or the second cover 2232, so as to avoid the rotating motor 224 from shifting its position during the process of controlling the rotation of the air guide plate 21, thereby affecting the rotation of the air guide plate 21.

[0097] For example, the rotating motor 224 is provided with a second connecting lug 2242, the second housing 2231 is provided with a second connecting portion 22322, and the second fastener 225 passes through the second connecting lug 2242 and the second connecting portion 22322 to fix the rotating motor 224 to the second housing 2231; of course, the rotating motor 224 may also be provided with a second connecting lug 2242, the second cover 2232 is provided with a second connecting portion 22322, and the second fastener 225 passes through the second connecting lug 2242 and the second connecting portion 22322 to fix the rotating motor 224 to the second cover 2232.

[0098] Reference Figure 10 In some embodiments, one of the second housing 2231 and the second cover 2232 is provided with a second snap-fit ​​portion 22311, and the other is provided with a second snap-fit ​​mating portion 22321, and the second snap-fit ​​portion 22311 and the second snap-fit ​​mating portion 22321 are snap-fit ​​mating.

[0099] In the above technical solution, by using the snap-fit ​​of the second snap-fit ​​part 22311 and the second snap-fit ​​mating part 22321, the second shell 2231 and the second cover 2232 can be connected together to form the second shell 223. Furthermore, while ensuring the reliability of the connection, the difficulty of connection and disassembly can be reduced.

[0100] For example, the second housing 2231 is provided with a second snap-fit ​​portion 22311, and the second cover 2232 is provided with a second snap-fit ​​mating portion 22321; of course, the second cover 2232 may also be provided with a second snap-fit ​​portion 22311, and the second housing 2231 may also be provided with a second snap-fit ​​mating portion 22321.

[0101] In some specific examples, the second snap-fit ​​portion 22311 can be a second snap-fit ​​protrusion, and the second snap-fit ​​mating portion 22321 can be a second snap-fit ​​tongue. A second snap-fit ​​hole is formed on the second snap-fit ​​tongue, and the second snap-fit ​​protrusion engages with the second snap-fit ​​hole, thereby enabling the snap-fit ​​connection between the second shell 2231 and the second cover 2232.

[0102] In some specific examples, the number of the second snap-fit ​​portion 22311 and the second snap-fit ​​mating portion 22321 can be multiple, and the multiple second snap-fit ​​portions 22311 and the multiple second snap-fit ​​mating portions 22321 are snap-fitted in a one-to-one correspondence, thereby improving the connection reliability of the second shell 2231 and the second cover 2232.

[0103] For example, in an example where the second housing 2231 is provided with a second snap-fit ​​portion 22311 and the second cover 2232 is provided with a second snap-fit ​​mating portion 22321, a plurality of second snap-fit ​​portions 22311 are arranged circumferentially at intervals in the second housing 2231, and a plurality of second snap-fit ​​mating portions 22321 are arranged circumferentially at intervals in the second cover 2232.

[0104] For example, in an example where the second cover 2232 is provided with a second snap-fit ​​portion 22311 and the second shell 2231 is provided with a second snap-fit ​​mating portion 22321, a plurality of second snap-fit ​​portions 22311 are arranged circumferentially at intervals in the second cover 2232 and a plurality of second snap-fit ​​mating portions 22321 are arranged circumferentially at intervals in the second shell 2231.
