[0025] To illustrate the possible application scenarios, technical principles, implementable specific solutions, and achievable objectives and effects of this application in detail, the following description, in conjunction with the listed specific embodiments and accompanying drawings, provides a detailed explanation. The embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the technical solutions of this application and are therefore intended to limit the scope of protection of this application.

[0026] In the description of this application, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, features defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more features.

[0027] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0028] This application provides an air guide structure and an air conditioner to solve the problem of poor airflow regulation performance of the air guide structure. The following description will be provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0029] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 This application provides an air guiding structure, including a housing 1, a diversion mechanism 2, and an air guiding mechanism 3. The housing 1 has an air outlet, and the diversion mechanism 2 is disposed at the air outlet. The diversion mechanism 2 includes a diversion cone 23, which, together with the housing 1, defines a first air outlet duct 11 and a second air outlet duct 12. The air guiding mechanism 3 includes at least one first air guide plate 31 and at least one second air guide plate 32. At least one first air guide plate 31 is disposed in the first air outlet duct 11 to regulate the airflow in the first air outlet duct 11, and at least one second air guide plate 32 is disposed in the second air outlet duct 12 to regulate the airflow in the second air outlet duct 12.

[0030] By setting a diversion cone 23 at the air outlet, the air is diverted to the first air outlet duct 11 and the second air outlet duct 12, which facilitates precise control of the air outlet. By setting a first air guide plate 31 in the first air guide duct, the airflow in the first air guide duct is further controlled. By setting a second air guide plate 32 in the second air guide duct, the airflow in the second air guide duct is further controlled. This helps to improve the air guide structure's ability to regulate the air outlet and solves the problem of poor air guide structure's ability to regulate the air outlet.

[0031] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3The diversion mechanism 2 also includes a first diversion plate 21 and a second diversion plate 22. The first diversion plate 21 is disposed on one side of the diversion cone 23, and the second diversion plate 22 is disposed on the other side of the diversion cone 23. Both ends of the first diversion plate 21 and the second diversion plate 22 are provided with pins in the length direction, and both the first diversion plate 21 and the second diversion plate 22 are rotatably connected to the housing 1 through the pins. The diversion mechanism 2 has a diversion state and an air-guiding state. When the diversion mechanism 2 is in the diversion state, the first diversion plate 21 rotates so that one end in the width direction extends toward the diversion cone 23, and the second diversion plate 22 rotates so that one end in the width direction extends toward the diversion cone 23, so that the diversion mechanism 2 as a whole forms a triangular structure. The first diversion plate 21 and the housing 1 together define the first air outlet duct 11, and the second diversion plate 22 and the housing 1 together define the second air outlet duct 12. When the diversion mechanism 2 is in the air-driving state, one end of the first diversion plate 21 in the width direction is away from the diversion cone 23, and one end of the second diversion plate 22 in the width direction is away from the diversion cone 23, forming a third air outlet duct between the first diversion plate 21 and the second diversion plate 22.

[0032] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The first diversion plate 21 has multiple first diversion holes 24, and the second diversion plate 22 has multiple second diversion holes 25. In this embodiment, both the first diversion holes 24 and the second diversion holes 25 are circular holes. The multiple first diversion holes 24 are arranged in a rectangular array on the first diversion plate 21, and the multiple second diversion holes 25 are arranged in a rectangular array on the second diversion plate 22. The opening of the first diversion holes 24 allows some of the airflow to pass through the first diversion plate 21 and be divided into smaller streams. The opening of the second diversion holes 25 allows some of the airflow to pass through the second diversion plate 22 and be divided into smaller streams, which is beneficial for achieving a windless airflow effect from the air conditioner.

[0033] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2The first flow divider 21 includes a first flow divider section 211 and a second flow divider section 212 connected in sequence. The flow direction of the first flow divider section 211 is different from that of the second flow divider section 212. The second flow divider 22 includes a third flow divider section 221 and a fourth flow divider section 222 connected in sequence. The flow direction of the third flow divider section 221 is different from that of the fourth flow divider section 222. By making the flow direction of the first flow divider section 211 different from that of the second flow divider section 212, it is not only beneficial to improve the flow divider capacity of the first flow divider 21, but also to facilitate the airflow through the first flow divider orifice 24. Similarly, by making the flow direction of the second flow divider section 212 different from that of the second flow divider section 212, it is not only beneficial to improve the flow divider capacity of the second flow divider 22, but also to facilitate the airflow through the second flow divider orifice 25. It should be noted that the flow direction of the flow divider section is the width direction of the flow divider section.

[0034] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The diversion mechanism 2 also includes a first power component 26 and a second power component 27. Both the first power component 26 and the second power component 27 are fixedly connected to the housing 1. The first power component 26 is used to drive the first diversion plate 21 to rotate, and the second power component 27 is used to drive the second diversion plate 22 to rotate. In this embodiment, both the first power component 26 and the second power component 27 are servo motors. The first diversion plate 21 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the first power component 26, and the second diversion plate 22 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the second power component 27.

[0035] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The first air guide plate 31 is used to regulate the airflow in the first air outlet duct 11, and the second air guide plate 32 is used to regulate the airflow in the second air outlet duct 12. Both the first air guide plate 31 and the second air guide plate 32 are rotatably connected to the housing 1. The air guiding mechanism 3 also includes a first driving member 35 and a second driving member 36, both of which are fixedly connected to the housing 1. The first driving member 35 drives the first air guide plate 31 to rotate, and the second driving member 36 drives the second air guide plate 32 to rotate. In this embodiment, both the first driving member 35 and the second driving member 36 are servo motors. The first air guide plate 31 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the first driving member 35, and the second air guide plate 32 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the second driving member 36.

[0036] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2Furthermore, the first air guide plate 31 has multiple first air guide holes 33, and the second air guide plate 32 has multiple second air guide holes 34. In this embodiment, both the first air guide holes 33 and the second air guide holes 34 are circular holes. The multiple first air guide holes 33 are arranged in a rectangular array on the first air guide plate 31, and the multiple second air guide holes 34 are arranged in a rectangular array on the second air guide plate 32. The opening of the first air guide holes 33 allows some airflow to pass through the first air guide plate 31 and be divided into smaller streams. The opening of the second air guide holes 34 allows some airflow to pass through the second air guide plate 32 and be divided into smaller streams, which is beneficial for achieving a windless airflow effect from the air conditioner.

[0037] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 4 The air guiding mechanism 3 has an air guiding state and a gentle airflow state. When the air guiding mechanism 3 is in the air guiding state, the first air guide plate 31 opens the first air outlet 11, so that the airflow in the first air outlet 11 mainly flows out of the first air outlet 11 along the width direction of the first air guide plate 31. The second air guide plate 32 opens the second air outlet 12, so that the airflow in the second air outlet 12 mainly flows out of the second air outlet 12 along the width direction of the second air guide plate 32. When the air guiding mechanism 3 is in the gentle airflow state, the first air guide plate 31 closes the first air outlet 11, so that the airflow in the first air outlet 11 mainly flows out of the first air outlet 11 through the first air guide hole 33. The second air guide plate 32 closes the second air outlet 12, so that the airflow in the second air outlet 12 mainly flows out of the second air outlet 12 through the second air guide hole 34.

[0038] By positioning the air guide mechanism 3 in either air guiding or gentle airflow mode, and the flow distribution mechanism 2 in either flow distribution or air intake mode, the air guide structure can create multiple airflow patterns. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 2 When the air guiding mechanism 3 is in the air guiding state and the flow splitting mechanism 2 is in the flow splitting state, the air guiding structure forms a wide-angle, enveloping, gentle wind mode. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 3 When the air guiding mechanism 3 is in the air guiding state and the flow diversion mechanism 2 is in the air ducting state, the air guiding structure forms an ultra-wide-angle, all-around natural wind feel mode. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 4 When the air guiding mechanism 3 is in gentle wind mode and the flow splitting mechanism 2 is in flow splitting mode, the air guiding structure forms an ultra-wide-angle, all-area gentle wind mode. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 5 When the air guide mechanism 3 is in a gentle breeze state and the flow diversion mechanism 2 is in an air induced state, the air guide structure forms a mixed jet pressurization air delivery mode for both near and far distances.

[0039] In addition, the air guiding structure also includes a grille 4, which has air outlets. The grille 4 is fixedly connected to the housing 1 and covers the air outlet. The grille 4 not only helps to reduce the entry of dust, insects and other foreign objects into the air guiding structure from the air outlet, but also facilitates further adjustment of the airflow.

[0040] This application also provides an air conditioner that includes the air guiding structure described above. Since this air conditioner has the aforementioned air guiding structure, it possesses at least some or all of the beneficial effects of the aforementioned air guiding structure, which will not be elaborated upon here.

[0041] In the above embodiments, the descriptions of each embodiment have different focuses. For parts not described in detail in a certain embodiment, please refer to the relevant descriptions in other embodiments.
