Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of air conditioner technology, and particularly relates to air-sweeping structures and air conditioners. Background Technology

[0002] Air conditioners typically have a swing structure within their ductwork to alter the airflow angle. One such structure includes swing blades with perforations designed to soften the airflow. By directing the airflow through these perforations, the perceived force of the airflow is reduced, achieving a gentler breeze effect. However, to facilitate the rotation of the swing blades, a gap is usually left between the blades and the ductwork wall, allowing air to escape directly through this gap, resulting in a poor softening effect.

[0003] Therefore, improvements to existing technologies are necessary.

[0004] The above information is provided as background information only to aid in understanding this disclosure and does not constitute an assertion or admission that any of the above content can be used as prior art relative to this disclosure. Utility Model Content

[0005] This application provides a swing structure and an air conditioner to solve the problem of poor gentle air effect of the swing structure.

[0006] In a first aspect, embodiments of this application provide a sweeping structure, including: A housing, wherein an air duct is provided inside the housing; A sweeping blade is disposed in the air duct. The sweeping blade includes a first blade and a second blade. A gap is formed between the first blade and the inner wall of the air duct. A first soft air hole is opened on the first blade. The first blade and the second blade are slidably connected. A drive element disposed on the housing, the drive element being used to slide the second blade relative to the first blade to seal the gap.

[0007] In one possible implementation, the driving component includes a controller and an electromagnet, the electromagnet being electrically connected to the controller, the electromagnet being disposed on the inner wall of the air duct, the electromagnet being disposed opposite to the sweeping blade, and the second blade being provided with a ferromagnetic element.

[0008] In one possible implementation, the second blade is provided with a second gentle air hole; when the electromagnet is closed, the second gentle air hole is directly opposite the first gentle air hole.

[0009] In one possible implementation, both the first soft air hole and the second soft air hole are tapered holes. When the sweeping structure is in a soft air state, the airflow flows from the small diameter end to the large diameter end of the first soft air hole, and the airflow flows from the small diameter end to the large diameter end of the second soft air hole.

[0010] In one possible implementation, the shape of the first soft air hole is any one of a circle, an ellipse, a fan shape, or a polygon, and the shape of the second soft air hole is any one of a circle, an ellipse, a fan shape, or a polygon.

[0011] In one possible implementation, the first blade has a receiving groove, and the second blade slides into the receiving groove.

[0012] In one possible implementation, the air-sweeping structure further includes a support plate and a power assembly. The support plate is fixedly disposed on the inner wall of the air duct. The first blade is rotatably connected to the support plate. The power assembly is connected to the first blade to drive the first blade to rotate.

[0013] In one possible implementation, the number of the sweeping blades is set to multiple, and the multiple sweeping blades are arranged sequentially at intervals on the support plate; The sweeping structure has a sweeping state and a gentle wind state. When the sweeping structure is in the sweeping state, the adjacent sweeping blades define an air outlet channel for airflow. When the sweeping structure is in the gentle wind state, any one of the sweeping blades abuts against the adjacent sweeping blade to block the airflow channel.

[0014] In one possible implementation, the power assembly includes a power component and a drive rod. The drive rod is disposed on the side of the support plate away from the second blade. A rotating shaft is disposed on the first blade. A connecting rod is disposed on the rotating shaft. A connecting shaft is disposed on the connecting rod. The rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the support plate. The connecting shaft is rotatably connected to the drive rod. The power component is used to drive either of the first blades to rotate.

[0015] Secondly, embodiments of this application also provide an air conditioner, the air conditioner including the air-sweeping structure as described in any of the preceding claims.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, this application has the following beneficial effects: The sweeping structure provided in this application embodiment, by setting a first blade and a second blade, allows the first blade and the second blade to slide and connect. When the sweeping structure needs to be in a soft wind state, the second blade is driven by a driving component to move relative to the first blade. The second blade blocks the gap between the sweeping blade and the duct wall, so that the airflow can only be blown out of the duct through the first soft wind hole, thereby improving the soft wind effect of the sweeping structure and solving the problem of poor soft wind effect of the sweeping structure.

[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 a swing structure and an air conditioner to solve the problem of poor gentle airflow effect in the swing structure. The following description will be provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0029] Please see Figures 1-3 This application provides a sweeping structure, including a housing 1, sweeping blades 2, and a drive component. The housing 1 has an air duct, and the sweeping blades 2 are disposed within the air duct. The sweeping blades 2 include a first blade 21 and a second blade 22. A gap 11 is formed between the first blade 21 and the inner wall of the air duct. A first soft air hole 24 is provided on the first blade 21. The first blade 21 and the second blade 22 are slidably connected. The drive component is disposed on the housing 1 and is used to slide the second blade 22 relative to the first blade 21 to seal the gap 11.

[0030] By setting a first blade 21 and a second blade 22, the first blade 21 and the second blade 22 are slidably connected. When the sweeping structure needs to be in a soft wind state, the second blade 22 is driven to move relative to the first blade 21 by the driving component. The second blade 22 blocks the gap 11 between the sweeping blade 2 and the duct wall, so that the airflow can only be blown out of the duct through the first soft wind hole 24, which improves the soft wind effect of the sweeping structure and solves the problem of poor soft wind effect of the sweeping structure.

[0031] Please see Figures 1-3 In this embodiment, the first blade 21 is provided with a receiving groove 23, and the second blade 22 slides into the receiving groove 23. By making the second blade 22 slide into the receiving groove 23, not only is the sliding of the second blade 22 relative to the first blade 21 realized, but the stability of the sliding of the second blade 22 is also improved.

[0032] Please see Figures 1-3The driving components include a controller and an electromagnet. The controller is used to control the flow of current in the electromagnet and is mounted on the housing 1. The electromagnet is electrically connected to the controller and is mounted on the inner wall of the air duct. The electromagnet is positioned opposite to the sweeping blade 2. A ferromagnetic component is mounted on the second blade 22 so that when the electromagnet is activated, it can generate an attractive force on the second blade 22, causing the second blade 22 to move away from the first blade 21. The second blade 22 seals the gap 11 between the sweeping blade 2 and the air duct wall. When the electromagnet is deactivated, the second blade 22 slides back to the first blade 21 under the influence of gravity, opening the gap 11.

[0033] Please see Figures 1-3 The second blade 22 has a second soft-air hole 25. When the electromagnet is closed, the second soft-air hole 25 is directly opposite the first soft-air hole 24. The second soft-air hole 25 allows the sweeping structure to have a semi-soft-air state and a fully soft-air state. When the sweeping structure is in the semi-soft-air state, the second soft-air hole 25 is located in the receiving groove 23, and the second soft-air hole 25 is directly opposite the first soft-air hole 24, allowing the airflow to flow out of the air duct sequentially through the first soft-air hole 24, the second soft-air hole 25, and the first soft-air hole 24, or directly out of the air duct from the gap 11. When the sweeping structure is in the fully soft-air state, the second soft-air hole 25 slides out of the receiving groove 23, and the airflow can flow out of the air duct through either the first soft-air hole 24 or the second soft-air hole 25.

[0034] Please see Figures 1-3 The first soft air hole 24 has a shape that is any one of a circle, an ellipse, a fan shape, or a polygon, and the second soft air hole 25 has a shape that is any one of a circle, an ellipse, a fan shape, or a polygon. In this embodiment, both the first soft air hole 24 and the second soft air hole 25 are circular holes.

[0035] In some embodiments of this application, the first soft air hole 24 and the second soft air hole 25 are both conical holes. When the sweeping structure is in a soft air state, the airflow flows from the small diameter end of the first soft air hole 24 to the large diameter end, and the airflow flows from the small diameter end of the second soft air hole 25 to the large diameter end, so that the airflow velocity can be reduced and the soft air effect of the sweeping structure can be improved.

[0036] Please see Figures 1-3 The air-sweeping structure also includes a support plate 3 and a power assembly. The support plate 3 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the air duct. The first blade 21 is rotatably connected to the support plate 3, and the power assembly is connected to the first blade 21 to drive the first blade 21 to rotate. Multiple air-sweeping blades 2 are arranged sequentially and at intervals on the support plate 3. The air-sweeping structure has a sweeping state and a gentle breeze state. When the air-sweeping structure is in the sweeping state, adjacent air-sweeping blades 2 define an air outlet channel for airflow. When the air-sweeping structure is in the gentle breeze state, any air-sweeping blade 2 abuts against its adjacent air-sweeping blade 2 to block the air duct.

[0037] Please see Figure 4 and Figure 5 The power assembly includes a power component and a drive rod 4. The drive rod 4 is located on the side of the support plate 3 away from the second blade 22. A rotating shaft 26 is provided on the first blade 21. A connecting rod 27 is provided on the rotating shaft 26. A connecting shaft 28 is provided on the connecting rod 27. The rotating shaft 26 is rotatably connected to the support plate 3. The connecting shaft 28 is rotatably connected to the drive rod 4. The power component is used to drive any of the first blades 21 to rotate.

[0038] This application also provides an air conditioner that includes the air-sweeping structure described above. Since this air conditioner has the aforementioned air-sweeping structure, it possesses at least some or all of the beneficial effects of the aforementioned air-sweeping structure, which will not be elaborated upon here.
