Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of household appliance technology, and more particularly to an air conditioner. Background Technology

[0002] Air conditioning is a device used to regulate indoor temperature, humidity, and air quality. It is very important in both hot summers and cold winters, helping people create a comfortable living and working environment.

[0003] In order to ensure the cooling or heating effect, air conditioners usually have a strong airflow during the cooling or heating process. If the air carrying cold or hot air blows directly onto the human body, it will cause discomfort and reduce the comfort of the air conditioner. In particular, when the air conditioner is cooling, the cold air blowing directly on the human body can easily cause colds and other diseases. Utility Model Content

[0004] This application provides an air conditioner to solve the problem that the airflow from existing air conditioners blows directly onto the human body, causing discomfort.

[0005] This application provides an air conditioner, including an air conditioner body, a wind deflector, and a connector. The air conditioner body has an air outlet, and the wind deflector is disposed outside the air outlet. The wind deflector has a plurality of air outlet micro-holes. One end of the connector is connected to the wind deflector, and the other end of the connector is connected to the side of the air conditioner body. The wind deflector has a second position that avoids the air outlet and a first position that at least partially blocks the air outlet. When the wind deflector is in the first position, the airflow blowing from the air outlet blows toward the wind deflector and is blown out from the air outlet micro-holes.

[0006] The air conditioner provided in this application includes an air conditioning unit, a wind deflector, and connectors. The air conditioning unit has an air outlet, through which airflow can exit during operation. The wind deflector is located outside the air outlet and is connected to the air conditioning unit via the connectors. The wind deflector obstructs the airflow from the outlet. Because the wind deflector has micro-perforations, the airflow is obstructed by the wind deflector and exits through these micro-perforations, where it is dispersed, achieving a gentle breeze effect and preventing direct airflow onto the body, thus avoiding discomfort. The wind deflector effectively improves airflow comfort and enhances the user experience.

[0007] In some embodiments, the connector is rotatably connected to the air conditioner body, and the baffle is configured to avoid or at least partially block the air outlet by rotation of the connector.

[0008] This arrangement allows the air conditioner to switch between gentle breeze mode and normal airflow mode by rotating the air deflector.

[0009] In some embodiments, the air conditioner further includes a drive member disposed on the air conditioner body, the drive member being connected to the connector and used to drive the connector to rotate so that the baffle avoids or at least partially blocks the air outlet.

[0010] This arrangement allows the air conditioner to automatically switch between gentle breeze mode and normal airflow mode.

[0011] In some embodiments, a connection hole is provided on the side of the air conditioner body, and a connection protrusion is provided on the connector. The connector is installed on the air conditioner body through the connection hole.

[0012] This arrangement facilitates the installation and removal of connectors from the air conditioner unit.

[0013] In some embodiments, the connector is provided with a connecting protrusion, and the connector is mounted on the connecting hole through the connecting protrusion.

[0014] In some embodiments, the air conditioner further includes a sealing member for sealing the connection hole and being detachably connected to the connection hole.

[0015] This arrangement allows the connection holes after disassembly of the connectors to be sealed with a sealing device, preventing contamination of the air conditioner unit.

[0016] In some embodiments, the sealing element is detachably connected to the air conditioner body or the connector. This arrangement prevents the sealing element from being lost.

[0017] In some embodiments, the air conditioner body or the connector is provided with a mounting groove, and the sealing member is detachably mounted in the mounting groove. This arrangement allows for a detachable connection of the sealing member to the connector.

[0018] In some embodiments, a protrusion is provided on the side of the air conditioner body, and the connector is mounted on the protrusion. This arrangement facilitates the assembly and disassembly of the connector from the air conditioner body.

[0019] In some embodiments, the connector is magnetically attached to the side of the air conditioner body. This arrangement facilitates the assembly and disassembly of the connector from the air conditioner body.

[0020] In some embodiments, the baffle plate is rotatably connected to the connector. By adjusting the relative rotational position between the baffle plate and the connector, the angle between the baffle plate and the air outlet direction can be adjusted. This arrangement allows for adjustment of the baffle plate angle as needed, thereby controlling the air outlet direction.

[0021] In some embodiments, the air outlet micro-holes are circular or polygonal. This arrangement enhances the uniformity of airflow dispersion and reduces wind noise.

[0022] In some embodiments, the air conditioner further includes an air guide vane located between the air outlet and the baffle plate. The air guide vane is mounted on the air conditioner body and extends along the length of the air outlet and toward the air conditioner body, guiding at least a portion of the airflow from the air outlet toward the baffle plate. This arrangement directs the airflow from the air outlet toward the baffle plate, facilitating the creation of a gentle breeze.

[0023] In some embodiments, the air guide plate is disposed at the air outlet and connected to the air conditioner body via a connecting component at the bottom or side, and the air guide plate is driven to move back and forth relative to the air outlet.

[0024] This arrangement allows the air deflector to be adjusted in the forward and backward directions as needed, thereby controlling the airflow direction.

[0025] In some embodiments, the two ends of the air guide plate are rotatably connected to the sidewall of the air outlet, and the air guide plate is configured to adjust the angle at which the airflow is directed toward the baffle plate by rotation. This arrangement facilitates adjustment of the airflow direction at the air outlet via the air guide plate, enabling airflow to be guided at different angles.

[0026] In some embodiments, the air conditioner body is connected to a connecting arm, the connecting arm can extend or retract into the air outlet, and the air guide plate is connected to the connecting arm.

[0027] In some embodiments, the air conditioner further includes a plurality of swivel blades rotatably disposed within the air outlet. The swivel blades are spaced apart along the length of the air outlet. Airflow from the air outlet is guided by the swivel blades and then directed towards the air guide plate, which in turn guides the airflow to the baffle plate. This arrangement, through control of the swivel blades, allows the air conditioner to switch between multiple operating modes in coordination with the blades.

[0028] In some embodiments, at least some of the oscillating blades are provided with openings for airflow to pass through, and the airflow passes through the openings and is guided by the air guide plate to the wind deflector; or the oscillating blades are not provided with openings, and the airflow blown out of the air outlet passes through the oscillating blades and is guided by the air guide plate to the wind deflector. With this arrangement, the air conditioner can form a gentle breeze mode or a guided airflow mode through the oscillating blades.

[0029] In some embodiments, the air outlet is provided with a connecting plate that extends along the length of the air outlet. The oscillating blade is rotatably connected to the connecting plate. The oscillating blade is generally parallel to the extension direction of the connecting rod or the connecting plate. The air conditioner body is provided with a connecting rod that moves relative to the connecting plate. At least some of the oscillating blades can rotate under the drive of the connecting rod and are not generally parallel to the extension direction of the connecting rod or the connecting plate.

[0030] In some embodiments, the air outlet is provided with a connecting plate, and the oscillating blades are disposed on the connecting plate. At least some of the oscillating blades can be substantially non-parallel to the extension direction of the connecting rod or the connecting plate under the action of the connecting rod. This arrangement allows the oscillating blades to adjust their angle via the connecting rod, thereby controlling the air conditioner to switch between different operating modes.

[0031] In some embodiments, the oscillating blade is disposed on the connecting plate, and the angle between the oscillating blade and the extending direction of the connecting rod or connecting plate is between 0 and 20 degrees. This arrangement allows the oscillating blade to be positioned substantially parallel to the extending direction of the connecting rod or connecting plate.

[0032] In some embodiments, the air conditioner includes a gentle breeze mode, and the air guide plate is provided with ventilation holes. In the gentle breeze mode, the angle between the oscillating blades and the air outlet airflow direction is between 70 and 90 degrees. Through this arrangement, in the gentle breeze mode, the oscillating blades can combine with the air deflector to form a dual gentle breeze.

[0033] In some embodiments, the air guide plate is provided with ventilation holes, and the air conditioner includes a gentle wind mode. In the gentle wind mode, the airflow from the air outlet flows out sequentially through the opening, the ventilation holes, and the air outlet micro-holes.

[0034] Or the air guide plate is not provided with ventilation holes, and the airflow from the air outlet passes through the swing blades and is then guided by the air guide plate to the wind deflector.

[0035] In some embodiments, a windproof protrusion is provided on one side of the ventilation hole, which is used to block airflow from entering the ventilation hole. This arrangement can enhance the air guiding performance of the air guide plate.

[0036] In some embodiments, the air conditioner includes an air guiding mode, in which the angle between the oscillating blades and the air outlet direction is between 0 and 70 degrees. The airflow from the air outlet, guided by the oscillating blades, is then directed towards the wind deflector. Through this arrangement, in the air guiding mode, the oscillating blades provide guidance for the airflow, thereby cooperating with the wind deflector to enhance the air guiding effect.

[0037] In some embodiments, the oscillating blades are disposed on the connecting plate, and the angle between the oscillating blades and the extending direction of the connecting rod or the connecting plate is between 20 and 70 degrees. This arrangement allows for the formation of an airflow pattern for the air conditioner. Attached Figure Description

[0059] The accompanying drawings illustrate specific embodiments of this application, which will be described in more detail below. These drawings and descriptions are not intended to limit the scope of the concept in any way, but rather to illustrate the concept of this application to those skilled in the art through reference to particular embodiments. Detailed Implementation

[0060] Exemplary embodiments will now be described in detail, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description relates to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings denote the same or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with this application. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with some aspects of this application as detailed in the appended claims.

[0061] Traditional air conditioners typically adjust airflow direction directly through deflectors or louvers at the air outlet, but their air delivery method has the following problems:

[0062] Direct airflow problem: Traditional air conditioners are designed with centralized airflow, and the airflow is not sufficiently dispersed, blowing directly at the user, causing sudden changes in local temperature and causing discomfort to the user.

[0063] Limited Wind Softening Effect: In existing technologies, the wind softening function mostly relies on the oscillation of the air guide plate or the adjustment of wind speed, lacking a solution for physically dispersing airflow through structural design, resulting in a limited wind softening effect.

[0064] The air conditioner provided in this application is mainly used in air conditioning scenarios in home or office environments, such as living rooms, bedrooms, and conference rooms, where temperature and airflow need to be controlled. In high or low temperature environments, users have high requirements for the comfort of the air conditioning's airflow, especially when they feel uncomfortable from hot or cold air blowing directly on them. For example, the direct airflow from traditional air conditioners may cause local temperatures to be too low or too high, leading to health problems for users (especially the elderly and children). Therefore, an air conditioning structure that can disperse airflow and avoid direct airflow is needed to improve the comfort and adaptability of the airflow.

[0065] To address the technical problems of traditional air conditioners easily creating direct airflow and having a limited range of gentle breeze effects, this application provides an air conditioner that combines gentle breeze effects, simple structure, convenient installation, and strong adaptability to meet users' diverse needs for comfortable air delivery.

[0066] The technical solution of this application and how the technical solution of this application solves the above-mentioned technical problems are described in detail below with specific embodiments. These specific embodiments can be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be described again in some embodiments. The embodiments of this application will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0067] To better understand this application, the following is combined with... Figures 1 to 9 The technical solution of this application is described in detail below:

[0068] This application provides an air conditioner, such as... Figure 1 , Figure 1A and Figure 2 As shown, the air conditioner includes an air conditioner body 10, a wind deflector 20, and a connector 30. The air conditioner body 10 has an air outlet 11. The wind deflector 20 is disposed on the outside of the air outlet 11 and has a plurality of air outlet micro-holes 21. One end of the connector 30 is connected to the wind deflector 20, and the other end of the connector 30 is connected to the side of the air conditioner body 10. The wind deflector 20 has a second position that avoids the air outlet 11 and a first position that at least partially blocks the air outlet 11. When the wind deflector 20 is in the first position, the airflow blown from the air outlet 11 blows toward the wind deflector 20 and is blown out from the air outlet micro-holes 21.

[0069] Specifically, the air conditioner provided in this application includes an air conditioner body 10, a wind deflector 20, and a connector 30. The air conditioner body 10 has an air outlet 11. During operation, airflow can be discharged through the air outlet 11. The wind deflector 20 is located outside the air outlet 11 and is connected to the air conditioner body 10 via the connector 30. When the wind deflector 20 is in its first position, it can block the airflow from the air outlet 11. Because the wind deflector 20 has air outlet micro-holes 21, the airflow will be discharged through the air outlet micro-holes 21 under the obstruction of the wind deflector 20, and then dispersed by the air outlet micro-holes 21 to achieve a soft breeze effect, thereby avoiding direct airflow onto the human body and causing discomfort. The air conditioner, through the setting of the wind deflector 20, can effectively improve the comfort of airflow, thereby improving the user experience.

[0070] In this embodiment, the air conditioning unit 10 includes an indoor air conditioning unit. During operation, the air conditioning unit 10 can form a heated hot airflow, a cooled cold airflow, or a dehumidified normal airflow at the air outlet 11. Regardless of the type of airflow, it can form a gentle breeze effect after being dispersed by the wind deflector 20.

[0071] It is understandable that the air outlet micro-hole 21 can be any shape of hole, for example, the air outlet micro-hole 21 can be a round hole, a square hole or a trapezoidal hole, etc.

[0072] To enhance the wind-softening effect of the wind deflector 20, the air outlet micro-holes 21 are circular or polygonal. Specifically, polygonal holes can enhance the uniformity of airflow dispersion and reduce wind noise.

[0073] In this embodiment, the air outlet micro-holes 21 are further hexagonal holes. The combination of each hexagonal air outlet micro-hole 21 can form a honeycomb structure, which can further optimize the airflow distribution, reduce local wind speed differences, improve overall air supply comfort, and reduce wind noise.

[0074] To enhance the gentle breeze effect of the wind deflector 20, in this embodiment, the diameter and density of the air outlet micro-holes 21 of the wind deflector 20 can also vary in a gradient along the air outlet direction. The air outlet micro-holes 21 near the air outlet 11 are smaller and denser, while the air outlet micro-holes 21 further away from the air outlet 11 are larger and sparser. The gradient distribution of the air outlet micro-holes 21 can optimize the uniformity of airflow dispersion, thereby avoiding excessively high wind speeds in the area near the air outlet 11 and improving overall comfort.

[0075] To enhance the gentle breeze effect of the wind deflector 20, in this embodiment, the wind deflector 20 can also be configured as a multi-layer structure. The multi-layer structure can further enhance the gentle breeze effect and achieve more precise air supply control.

[0076] Understandably, the wind deflector 20 can be connected to the connector 30 in any form, such as fixed connection or sliding connection.

[0077] In one embodiment, the baffle 20 is rotatably connected to the connector 30. Adjusting the relative rotational position between the baffle 20 and the connector 30 adjusts the angle between the baffle 20 and the air outlet 11. Specifically, by rotating the baffle 20, the angle between the baffle 20 and the air outlet 11 can be adjusted, thereby allowing the air outlet direction to be adjusted as needed.

[0078] Understandably, the main structure of the connector 30 can be adapted to actual needs, as long as it can connect the air conditioner body 10 and the wind deflector 20. The connector 30 can be located on one or both sides of the air conditioner body 10.

[0079] In this embodiment, to strengthen the connection between the connector 30 and the air conditioner body 10 and the wind deflector 20, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, there are two connectors 30, which are located on opposite sides of the air conditioner body 10.

[0080] Understandably, the connector 30 can be connected to the side of the air conditioner body 10 in any form of connection, such as sliding connection, fixed connection, etc. with the air conditioner body 10.

[0081] In one embodiment, the connector 30 is rotatably connected to the air conditioner body 10, and the baffle 20 is configured to avoid or at least partially block the air outlet 11 by rotating the connector 30.

[0082] Specifically, the rotatable connection between the connector 30 and the air conditioner body 10 allows the baffle 20 to switch between a first position and a second position simply by rotating the connector 30. This causes the baffle 20 to at least partially block the air outlet 11 or completely avoid it. When the air outlet 11 is at least partially blocked, the airflow is obstructed, resulting in a gentle breeze effect from the air conditioner. When the air outlet 11 is avoided, the air conditioner provides normal airflow. This allows the air conditioner to switch between gentle breeze mode and normal airflow mode depending on the environment.

[0083] Understandably, the rotation of connector 30 can be controlled manually or electrically.

[0084] In one embodiment, the air conditioner further includes a drive unit installed on the air conditioner body 10 and connected to the connector 30. The drive unit is used to drive the connector 30 to rotate, so that the baffle 20 avoids or at least partially blocks the air outlet 11. Specifically, by setting the drive unit, the rotation of the connector 30 can be electrically controlled, thereby realizing the automatic switching of the air conditioner between gentle wind mode and normal air outlet mode.

[0085] In this embodiment, the driving component is a motor, which is connected to the connector 30 via a gear set or linkage structure to drive the connector 30.

[0086] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, a connection hole 12 is provided on the side of the air conditioner body 10, and a connection protrusion 31 is provided on the connector 30. The connector 30 is installed on the air conditioner body 10 through the connection hole 12. Specifically, the connection hole 12 facilitates the installation and removal of the connector 30 from the air conditioner body 10.

[0087] Understandably, the connector 30 may be provided with a protrusion, and the connector 30 may be installed on the air conditioner body 10 by means of the protrusion. Alternatively, a disassembly / assembly part may be provided in the connection hole 12, and the connector 30 may be installed on the disassembly / assembly part to achieve installation on the air conditioner body 10.

[0088] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, the connector 30 is provided with a connecting protrusion 31, and the connector 30 is mounted on the connecting hole 12 through the connecting protrusion 31.

[0089] Specifically, when installing the connector 30, simply insert the connecting protrusion 31 of the connector 30 into the connecting hole 12 to install the connector 30 on the side of the air conditioner body 10. Simultaneously, when the wind deflector 20 is not needed to provide gentle airflow, simply disengage the connecting protrusion 31 from the connecting hole 12 to remove the connector 30 from the side of the air conditioner body 10, thus facilitating the installation and removal of the connector 30. Furthermore, the cooperation between the connecting protrusion 31 and the connecting hole 12 allows for a rotatable connection between the connector 30 and the air conditioner body 10.

[0090] To prevent the connecting hole 12 from being exposed after the connector 30 is disassembled, in one embodiment, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the air conditioner also includes a sealing component 50, which is used to seal the connection hole 12 and is detachably connected to the connection hole 12. Specifically, when the connector 30 is disassembled, the sealing component 50 can be installed in the connection hole 12 to seal the connection hole 12, thereby preventing external dust from entering the air conditioner body 10 and causing contamination to the air conditioner body 10.

[0091] To prevent the sealing component 50 from being lost, in one embodiment, the sealing component 50 is detachably connected to the air conditioner body 10 or the connector 30. Specifically, when the air conditioner needs to generate a gentle breeze through the baffle 20, the sealing component 50 can be detached from the connection hole 12 and connected to the connector 30, and then the connector 30 can be connected to the connection hole 12. When the air conditioner does not need to generate a gentle breeze through the baffle 20, it is only necessary to detach the connector 30 from the connection hole 12, then detach the sealing component 50 from the connector 30 and reinstall it in the connection hole 12, thereby effectively preventing the sealing component 50 from being lost.

[0092] For example, the sealing member 50 can be detachably connected to the connector 30 by magnetic attraction or snap-fit.

[0093] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, the air conditioner body 10 or connector 30 is provided with a mounting groove 32, and the sealing member 50 is detachably installed in the mounting groove 32. Specifically, through the cooperation between the sealing member 50 and the mounting groove 32, the sealing member 50 can be detachably connected to the connector 30, which facilitates the installation and removal of the sealing member 50.

[0094] In one embodiment, a protrusion is provided on the side of the air conditioner body 10, and the connector 30 is mounted on the protrusion. Specifically, when installing the connector 30, it is only necessary to install the connector 30 on the protrusion to achieve installation of the connector 30 on the side of the air conditioner body 10. At the same time, when the wind deflector 20 is not needed to provide gentle airflow, the connector 30 can be removed from the protrusion to achieve removal of the connector 30 on the side of the air conditioner body 10, thus facilitating the installation and removal of the connector 30. Furthermore, through the cooperation between the connector 30 and the protrusion, a rotatable connection between the connector 30 and the air conditioner body 10 can be achieved.

[0095] In one embodiment, the connector 30 is magnetically attached to the side of the air conditioner body 10. Specifically, the connector 30 can be connected to the air conditioner body 10 through magnetic attraction. This also facilitates the removal of the connector 30 from the air conditioner body 10.

[0096] In this embodiment, the connector 30 is magnetically attached to the side of the air conditioner body 10.

[0097] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 , Figure 1A and Figure 2 As shown, the air conditioner also includes an air guide plate 60, which is located between the air outlet 11 and the baffle plate 20. The air guide plate 60 is installed on the air conditioner body 10 and extends along the length of the air outlet 11 to guide at least a portion of the airflow from the air outlet 11 toward the baffle plate 20. Specifically, by being installed at the air outlet 11, the air guide plate 60 can guide the airflow from the air outlet 11 toward the baffle plate 20, thereby directing the airflow to the baffle plate 20 and enabling the air conditioner to achieve a gentle breeze mode.

[0098] In one embodiment, the air guide plate 60 is disposed at the air outlet 11 and connected to the air conditioner body 10 via a connecting component at the bottom or side. The air guide plate 60 is driven to move back and forth relative to the air outlet 11. Specifically, the air conditioner body 10 is also provided with a connecting component, one end of which is connected to the bottom or side of the air conditioner body 10, and the air guide plate 60 is slidably connected to the other end of the connecting component. By sliding the air guide plate 60 along the connecting component, the air conditioner can adjust the distance between the air guide plate 60 and the air outlet 11 according to different wind loads, thereby adjusting the airflow direction.

[0099] It is understood that the air guide plate 60 can be driven manually or by any other driving component that can control the sliding of the air guide plate 60; this embodiment does not limit this.

[0100] Understandably, the connecting component can be provided with a sliding groove extending towards or away from the air outlet, or a sliding protrusion. The air guide plate 60 moves back and forth relative to the air outlet 11 by slidingly connecting to the groove or the sliding protrusion. Alternatively, the connecting component can be set as a sliding rod, and the air guide plate 60 moves back and forth relative to the air outlet 11 by sleeved onto the connecting component.

[0101] In one embodiment, the two ends of the air guide plate 60 are rotatably connected to the side wall of the air outlet 11. The air guide plate 60 is configured to adjust the angle at which the airflow is directed toward the baffle plate 20 by rotation. Specifically, the rotatable connection between the air guide plate 60 and the side wall of the air outlet 11 allows for a primary adjustment of the airflow direction at the air outlet 11 by rotating the air guide plate 60. When the airflow direction is adjusted and then passes through the baffle plate 20 again, it can be further adjusted by the baffle plate 20. Through the primary adjustment of the airflow direction by the air guide plate 60 and the secondary adjustment by the baffle plate 20, the range of airflow direction adjustment of the air conditioner can be increased, enabling the air conditioner to guide airflow at different angles and improving the user experience.

[0102] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 , Figure 1A and Figure 2 As shown, the air conditioner body 10 is connected to a connecting arm 13, which can extend or retract the air outlet 11. The air guide plate 60 is connected to the connecting arm 13. Specifically, by rotating, the connecting arm 13 can drive the air guide plate 60 to open or close the air outlet 11, and can also be adjusted to allow the air guide plate 60 to move back and forth relative to the air outlet 11, thereby increasing the angle adjustment range of the air guide plate 60.

[0103] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, the air conditioner also includes several oscillating blades 70, which are rotatably disposed within the air outlet 11. Each oscillating blade 70 is spaced apart along the length of the air outlet 11. The airflow from the air outlet 11 is guided by the oscillating blades 70 and then blown onto the air guide plate 60. The airflow is then guided by the air guide plate 60 to the wind deflector 20. Specifically, the oscillating blades 70 can achieve a gentle breeze mode by blocking the airflow, and a directional airflow mode by guiding the airflow. Through the arrangement of the oscillating blades 70, the air conditioner can be configured to operate in either a gentle breeze mode or a directional airflow mode.

[0104] In one embodiment, at least a portion of the oscillating blades 70 are provided with openings 71, through which airflow passes and is guided by the air guide plate 60 to the wind deflector 20. Specifically, when the oscillating blades 70 block the airflow, the airflow can pass through the openings 71 and be dispersed, thereby achieving a gentle breeze.

[0105] In one embodiment, the oscillating blade 70 is not provided with an opening 71, and the airflow blown out of the air outlet 11 is guided by the oscillating blade 70 and then passes through the air guide plate 60 to the wind baffle plate 20.

[0106] In one embodiment, the oscillating blades 70 are disposed on the connecting plate 14, and at least some of the oscillating blades 70 are parallel. Specifically, the air conditioner body is also provided with a connecting plate 14, which extends along the length of the air outlet 11. The oscillating blades 70 are rotatably connected to the connecting plate 14 and spaced apart along the extension direction of the connecting plate 14. The connecting plate 14 can realize the arrangement of the oscillating blades 70 at the air outlet 11 and can facilitate the adjustment of the angle of the oscillating blades 70.

[0107] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1B and 1C As shown, the air outlet 11 is provided with a connecting plate 14, which extends along the length of the air outlet 11. The swivel blades 70 are rotatably connected to the connecting plate 14. The air conditioning body 10 is provided with a connecting rod, which moves relative to the connecting plate 14. At least some of the swivel blades 70 can rotate under the drive of the connecting rod, which is not parallel to the extension direction of the connecting rod or the connecting plate.

[0108] Specifically, under normal conditions, the oscillating blades 70 are roughly parallel to the connecting rod or connecting plate, which can obstruct the airflow and thus create a gentle breeze mode. The oscillating blades 70 can also be deparallel to the connecting rod or connecting plate through the control of the connecting rod, thereby guiding the airflow and creating a directional airflow mode, thus controlling the air conditioner to switch between different operating modes.

[0109] Specifically, such as Figure 1B and 1C As shown, multiple oscillating blades 70 are spaced apart along the length of the connecting plate 14. For example, multiple spaced fixing holes can be provided along the length of the connecting plate 14. The spaced arrangement of the multiple oscillating blades 70 allows for gaps between adjacent blades 70, facilitating the rotation of each blade 70 and preventing collisions during rotation. Each oscillating blade 70 is hinged to a connecting rod 15 via a pivot, allowing it to move relative to the connecting plate 14. When the connecting rod 15 moves, the pivot drives each oscillating blade 70 to rotate relative to the connecting plate 14. A driver 16 is connected to the connecting rod 15 to drive its movement. The driver 16 can be connected to one end of the connecting rod 15, thereby driving the connecting rod 15 to move, which in turn drives the rotation of the oscillating blades 70.

[0110] In gentle breeze mode, the actuator 16 can move the connecting rod 15 to a position where each blade 70 rotates to be approximately parallel to the length of the connecting rod 15. This can block the air outlet over a larger area, reducing the air velocity at the outlet and preventing direct cold airflow. In directional airflow mode, the actuator 16 can drive the connecting rod 15 to rotate each blade 70 to other angles to achieve maximum airflow from the outlet.

[0111] In one embodiment, the oscillating blade 70 is disposed on the connecting plate 14, and the angle between the oscillating blade 70 and the extending direction of the connecting plate 14 is between 0 and 20 degrees. Specifically, through the above arrangement, the oscillating blade 70 can be arranged to be substantially parallel to the extending direction of the connecting rod or the connecting plate. In this state, the angle between the oscillating blade 70 and the air outlet 11 airflow direction is between 70 and 90 degrees, forming the soft wind mode of the air conditioner.

[0112] In one embodiment, the oscillating blade 70 is disposed on the connecting plate, and the angle between the oscillating blade 70 and the extending direction of the connecting plate 14 is between 20 and 70 degrees. Specifically, through the above arrangement, the oscillating blade 70 and the connecting plate can be in a generally non-parallel state, which can form the air guiding mode of the air conditioner. At this time, the angle between the oscillating blade 70 and the air outlet 11 air outlet direction D is between 20 and 70 degrees.

[0113] In one embodiment, the air conditioner includes a gentle breeze mode, and the air guide plate 60 is provided with ventilation holes 61, such as... Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in the gentle breeze mode, the angle α between the oscillating blade 70 and the air outlet 11 airflow direction D is between 70 and 90 degrees.

[0114] Specifically, in soft wind mode, the swivel blade 70 enables the air conditioner to form an internal soft wind mode, or the air conditioner can form a dual soft wind mode through the cooperation of the swivel blade 70 and the wind deflector 20.

[0115] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, in the internal soft wind mode, the connector 30 is detached from the air conditioner body 10 or the connector 30 is rotated so that the baffle 20 avoids the air outlet 11. The swivel blade 70 is rotated so that the angle α between it and the air outlet direction D of the air outlet 11 is between 70 and 90 degrees. At this time, the swivel blade 70 will not significantly obstruct the airflow of the air outlet 11. After the airflow of the air outlet 11 passes smoothly through the swivel blade 70, it enters the baffle 20 under the guidance of the air guide plate 60. Finally, the airflow is dispersed by the baffle 20 to form a soft wind, thus forming the internal soft wind mode of the air conditioner.

[0116] like Figure 4As shown, in the dual soft wind mode, the baffle 20 at least partially blocks the air outlet 11, the air guide plate 60 directs the airflow from the air outlet 11 to the baffle 20, and the oscillating blade 70 rotates so that the angle α between it and the airflow direction D of the air outlet 11 is between 70 and 90 degrees. At this time, the oscillating blade 70 will block the airflow from the air outlet 11, and the airflow will form a primary soft wind under the dispersion of the oscillating blade 70. This primary soft wind enters the baffle 20 under the guidance of the air guide plate 60, and forms a secondary soft wind under the dispersion of the baffle 20, thus forming the dual soft wind mode of the air conditioner.

[0117] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the air guide plate 60 is provided with ventilation holes 61. In the gentle breeze mode, such as Figure 5 As shown, the airflow from the air outlet 11 flows out through the opening 71, the ventilation hole 61, and the air outlet micro-hole 21 in sequence.

[0118] Specifically, through the setting of ventilation hole 61, such as Figure 7 As shown, in the gentle breeze mode, the angle α between the air outlet 11 and the air outlet direction D is between 70 and 90 degrees, which can realize the triple gentle breeze mode of the air conditioner and further enhance the gentle breeze effect.

[0119] In one embodiment, the air conditioner includes an air guiding mode in which the angle between the louver 70 and the air outlet 11 airflow direction D is between 0 and 70 degrees.

[0120] Specifically, in the air guiding mode, the swivel blades 70 can enable the air conditioner to form a normal air guiding mode, or work with the wind deflector to enable the air conditioner to form a strong and gentle wind mode.

[0121] Specifically, such as Figure 6 As shown, in normal air guiding mode, the connector 30 is detached from the air conditioner body 10 or the connector 30 is rotated so that the baffle 20 avoids the air outlet 11. The swivel blade 70 is rotated so that the angle β between it and the air outlet 11 airflow direction D is between 20 and 70 degrees. At this time, the swivel blade 70 will not block the airflow of the air outlet 11, and the air outlet 11 will discharge air normally, thus forming the normal air guiding mode of the air conditioner.

[0122] like Figure 7As shown, in the strong-soft wind mode, the baffle 20 at least partially blocks the air outlet 11, the air guide plate 60 directs the airflow from the air outlet 11 to the baffle 20, and the oscillating blade 70 rotates so that the angle β between it and the air outlet direction D of the airflow from the air outlet 11 is between 20 and 70 degrees. At this time, the oscillating blade 70 partially blocks the airflow from the air outlet 11, forming a mixed airflow of soft wind and strong wind. This mixed airflow enters the baffle 20 under the guidance of the air guide plate 60, and finally forms a soft wind under the dispersing effect of the baffle 20, thus forming the strong-soft wind mode of the air conditioner.

[0123] In one embodiment, such as Figure 8 As shown, the air conditioner also includes a strong wind mode. In the strong wind mode, the deflector 20 avoids the air outlet 11, and the swivel blade 70 rotates so that the angle γ between it and the air outlet 11 airflow direction D is between 0 and 20 degrees. At this time, the swivel blade 70 will not block the airflow of the air outlet 11, and the air outlet 11 will blow air normally, thus forming the strong wind mode of the air conditioner.

[0124] In one embodiment, such as Figure 9 As shown, the air conditioner also includes an external soft wind mode. In the external soft wind mode, the baffle 20 at least partially blocks the air outlet 11. The air guide plate 60 directs the airflow from the air outlet 11 to the baffle 20. The oscillating blade 70 rotates so that the angle γ between it and the air outlet 11 airflow direction D is between 0 and 20 degrees. At this time, the oscillating blade 70 will not obstruct the airflow from the air outlet 11, and the air outlet 11 will blow air normally. The air conditioner forms a soft wind through the baffle 20, thus forming the external soft wind mode of the air conditioner.

[0125] In one embodiment, a windproof protrusion (not shown in the figure) is provided on one side of the ventilation hole 61. The windproof protrusion is used to block airflow from entering the ventilation hole 61. Specifically, in the air guiding mode, the windproof protrusion blocks the airflow, thereby enabling the air guide plate 60 to function as an air guide and enhancing the air guiding performance of the air guide plate 60.

[0126] In this embodiment, the windproof protrusion is provided on the wind guide plate 60, which can make the surface of the wind guide plate 60 form a fish scale structure. In the wind guiding mode, the wind guide plate with the fish scale structure can effectively guide the airflow, thereby enhancing the wind force.

[0127] In one embodiment, the air guide plate 60 is not provided with ventilation holes 61. In the gentle wind mode, the airflow from the air outlet 11 passes through the oscillating blades 70 and is then guided by the air guide plate 60 to the wind deflector 20.

[0128] In this embodiment, the above arrangement can create four states: the oscillating blade 70 has an opening 71 and the air guide plate 60 has no ventilation hole 61; the oscillating blade 70 has an opening 71 and the air guide plate 60 has a ventilation hole 61; the oscillating blade 70 has no opening 71 and the air guide plate 60 has no ventilation hole 61; and the oscillating blade 70 has no opening 71 and the air guide plate 60 has a ventilation hole 61. In the gentle breeze mode, the airflow in these four states has different flow states.

[0129] Specifically, when the sway blade 70 has an opening 71 and the air guide plate 60 does not have a ventilation hole 61, the airflow can flow from the ventilation hole 61 of the sway blade 70 to the air guide plate 60, and the air guide plate 60 guides the airflow to the baffle plate 20, forming a double soft wind inside and outside the sway blade 70 and the baffle plate 20.

[0130] When the sway blade 70 has an opening 71 and the air guide plate 60 has a ventilation hole 61, the airflow can flow from the opening 71 of the sway blade 70 to the air guide plate 60, and then flow through the ventilation hole 61 on the air guide plate 60 to the wind deflector 20, forming a triple gentle breeze.

[0131] When the sway blade 70 has no opening 71 and the air guide plate 60 has no ventilation hole 61, the airflow can be guided by the sway blade 70, flow to the air guide plate 60, and then flow to the wind deflector 20 through the air guide plate 60, forming an external soft wind.

[0132] The sway blade 70 has no openings, while the air guide plate 60 has ventilation holes 61. The airflow can be guided by the sway blade 70, flow to the air guide plate 60, and then flow to the wind deflector plate 20 through the ventilation holes 61 of the air guide plate 60, forming a double soft wind inside and outside the air guide plate 60 and the wind deflector plate 20.
