[0016] The embodiments of the present utility model are explained in more detail below, and examples of these embodiments are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments explained with the accompanying drawings are exemplary, serve only to explain the present utility model, and cannot be construed as limiting the present utility model.

[0017] As in Fig. As shown in Figure 1, the air guide base arrangement in the embodiment of the present utility model comprises a base 1 and an air guide frame 2.

[0018] The base 1 can be made of materials such as plastic or metal. The air guide frame 2 is detachably attached to the base 1; for example, it can be mounted to the front of the base 1 using snap mechanisms, screws, and other fasteners. The air guide base assembly can serve as an air guide base for an indoor air conditioner unit. The underside of the indoor air conditioner unit can have an air inlet, while the upper front section of the indoor air conditioner unit can have an air outlet. The air outlet can be oriented in a front-to-back direction relative to the air guide frame 2.

[0019] During operation, indoor air flows through the air inlet into the indoor unit of the air conditioner and is then expelled through the air guide frame 2, etc., and out of the air outlet. The black arrows in Fig. 1 indicates the direction of the airflow.

[0020] The air guide frame 2 extends along the first direction and has a recessed section 21 at at least one end along this first direction to accommodate the drive mechanism 3, which drives the air guide plate to movement. As, for example, in Fig. As shown in Figure 2, the first direction can be the left-right direction. The air guide frame 2 can extend as a whole along the left-right direction, wherein a recessed section 21 can be formed in one piece at the left and right ends of the air guide frame 2, and wherein the recessed sections 21 have structures such as steps or grooves and can be recessed towards the rear.

[0021] As in Fig. As shown in Figure 3, the drive mechanism 3 can comprise an electric motor, a transmission mechanism, etc., wherein the air guide plate can be arranged at the front of the air guide frame 2 and connected to the drive mechanism 3. The drive mechanism 3 can enable drive actions such as pivoting the air guide plate, thereby facilitating the opening / closing of the air outlet or the adjustment of the air outlet size. The drive mechanism 3 can be located at the front of the recessed section 21, wherein the electric motor or transmission mechanism can fit into the recessed section 21 to avoid any assembly interference between the drive mechanism 3 and the air guide frame 2.

[0022] In the embodiment of the present utility model, the air guide frame 2 of the air guide base arrangement is constructed independently of the base 1, so that the air guide frame 2 can be machined separately to facilitate the injection molding and demolding of the air guide frame 2, which simplifies the manufacturing process of the air guide frame 2.

[0023] Furthermore, the arrangement of the recessed section 21 on the air guide frame 2 can improve the fit with the drive mechanism 3, thereby improving the compactness of the assembly and thus improving space utilization.

[0024] In some embodiments, at least part of the circumferential edge of the recessed section 21 has a crimped edge 22 extending along the second direction to one side of the air guide frame 2. The second direction is oriented perpendicular to the first direction, with the crimped edge 22 serving to conceal gaps around the recessed section 21.

[0025] For example, in Fig. As shown in Figure 4, the second direction can be a front-to-back direction. If the air guide frame 2 is installed at the front of the base 1, the crimped edge 22 can be formed in one piece on the front of the air guide frame 2. The crimped edge 22 can have a plate-like structure and project towards the front of the air guide frame 2, and the crimped edge can also extend along the circumferential edge of the recessed section 21.

[0026] During assembly, external components, such as the cover plate mounted on the front of the air duct frame 2, can abut the front of the crimped edge 22. The crimped edge 22 can serve to conceal gaps between the air duct frame 2 and the external component. Viewed from the front, the crimped edge 22 covers the gap, so that only the recessed section 21 is visible, while the gap between the external component and the air duct frame 2 is concealed. This prevents visible gaps and improves the overall aesthetic appearance.

[0027] In some embodiments, the rolled edge 22 comprises a first rolled edge 221 and a second rolled edge 222, wherein the first rolled edge 221 and the second rolled edge 222 are arranged opposite each other in the first direction, and wherein at least part of the recessed section 21 is located between the first rolled edge 221 and the second rolled edge 222.

[0028] For example, in Fig. As shown in Figure 4, the first folded edge 221 is located on the right side of the recessed section 21, and the second folded edge 222 is located on the left side of the recessed section 21. The first folded edge 221 and the second folded edge 222 each have the form of a flat plate and can be arranged opposite each other in the left-right direction. Part of the recessed section 21 can be located between the first folded edge 221 and the second folded edge 222. Thus, the first folded edge 221 and the second folded edge 222 can each cover the gap on the left and right sides of the recessed section 21, respectively.

[0029] In some embodiments, one of the base 1 and the air guide frame 2 is provided with an insertion hole 11 and the other with an insertion section 23, wherein the insertion section 23 fits into the insertion hole 11 to enable the insertion mounting of the base 1 and the air guide frame 2.

[0030] For example, in Fig. As shown in Figure 5, the insertion hole 11 can be located on the top of the base 1 and is situated at the front of the base 1. As shown in Fig. As shown in Figure 6, the insertion section 23 can be formed as a single piece on the top of the air guide frame 2 and is located at the rear of the air guide frame 2. During assembly, the insertion section 23 is inserted directly into the insertion hole 11 on the air guide frame 2 to achieve the preliminary fastening of the air guide frame 2 and the base 1, thereby improving assembly efficiency.

[0031] In some other embodiments, the insertion section 23 can also be provided at the base 1, with the insertion hole 11 then being provided on the air guide frame 2.

[0032] In some embodiments, the insertion direction of the insertion hole 11 and the insertion section 23 is a second direction, which is oriented perpendicular to the first direction, with the base 1 and the air guide frame being arranged opposite each other in the second direction.

[0033] For example, the second direction can be the front-to-back direction, with the base 1 positioned opposite and adjacent to a wall. In this configuration, the insertion section 23 on the air guide frame 2 can be inserted directly into the insertion hole 11 along the front-to-back direction, since the insertion direction of both the insertion section 23 and the insertion hole 11 is front-to-back, which improves the ease of assembly and disassembly.

[0034] In some embodiments, the insertion section 23 is arranged on the air guide frame 2, wherein the insertion section 23 comprises a plate section 231 and a plurality of first ribs 232, and wherein the plate section 231 projects in the second direction towards a side of the air guide frame 2 facing the base 1, and wherein the plurality of first ribs 232 are each provided on the plate section 231 and spaced apart in the first direction, and wherein each of the first ribs 232 extends along the second direction.

[0035] For example, in Fig. As shown in Figure 6, the first direction can be the left-right direction and the second direction the front-back direction. The plate section 231 can generally have a rectangular, plate-like shape, can be arranged horizontally, and can be located at the rear of the top of the air guide frame 2, and can generally extend along the front-back direction. The first ribs 232 can be provided in a number of, for example, two, three, or four, etc. Several first ribs 232 can be arranged at equal intervals in the left-right direction, with each first rib 232 generally extending along the front-back direction.

[0036] The first ribs 232 can be arranged on the upper or lower surface of the plate section 231. This serves, on the one hand, to improve structural strength. On the other hand, when the insertion section 23 is inserted into the insertion hole 11, the plate section 231 and the first ribs 232 are inserted into the insertion hole 11 simultaneously. In this process, the first ribs 232 can form an interference fit with the wall of the insertion hole 11. This improves the confining effect and ensures the structural stability of the insertion.

[0037] In some embodiments, the introductory section 23 comprises a second rib 233 that overlaps with the first ribs 232, the second rib 233 extending along the second direction and being connected to the plurality of first ribs 232.

[0038] For example, in Fig. As shown in Figure 6, it is feasible to provide only one second rib 233. This second rib 233 can extend along the left-right direction, with each of the first ribs 232 and each second rib 233 being arranged perpendicular to each other. The second rib 233 can be rigidly connected to each of the first ribs 232.

[0039] The second rib 233 allows several first ribs 232 to be joined together, thereby improving the structural strength in the left-right direction and the resistance to torsion and similar forces. This fully meets the structural strength requirements for the inlet section 23.

[0040] In some embodiments, the second rib 233 and the plurality of first ribs 232 are arranged on the same side of the plate section 231, with the first ribs 232 and the second rib 233 each being integrally formed on the plate section 231. For example, the first ribs 232 and the second ribs 233 can be arranged on the top surface of the plate section 231. Each first rib 232 and each second rib 233 can each be integrally formed with the plate section 231 by injection molding, thereby facilitating the machining of the insertion section 23.

[0041] In some embodiments, the length of the insertion section 23 in the second direction is greater than the width of the insertion section 23 in the first direction. Specifically, the first direction is the left-right direction, while the second direction is the front-back direction. The projecting length of the insertion section 23 in the front-back direction is greater than the width of the insertion section 23 in the left-right direction, thus fully meeting the requirements for insertion in the front-back direction to improve the limiting effect.

[0042] In some embodiments, the height dimension of the insertion section 23 in the third direction is smaller than the width dimension of the insertion section 23 in the second direction, the third direction being perpendicular to the first and second directions. For example, in Fig. As shown in Figure 5, the third direction can be the up-down direction. The height dimension of the insertion section 23 in the up-down direction is smaller than the width dimension in the left-right direction, so that the insertion section 23 generally has a flat shape, which allows the insertion section 23 to withstand greater forces in the left-right direction and thus meet the requirements for lateral limitation.

[0043] In some embodiments, at least one part of the corners of the plate section 231 of the insertion section 23 is a rounded corner 2311. As, for example, in Fig. As shown in Figure 6, both rear corners of the plate section 231 can be rounded corners 2311. This design prevents sharp corners of the plate section 231 from scratching the base 1, and the rounded corner 2311 also serves as a guide to facilitate the insertion of the insertion section 23 into the insertion hole 11.

[0044] In some embodiments, the insertion section 23 is formed integrally with the air guide frame 2, with the insertion hole 11 being located at the base 1. For example, both the air guide frame 2 and the insertion section 23 can be made of plastic material. The insertion section 23 can be formed by injection molding on the rear side of the air guide frame 2 in one piece.

[0045] In some embodiments, as in Fig. 5 shown, the insertion hole 11 is provided at the base 1, as in Fig. As shown in Figure 6, the insertion section 23 is arranged on the air guide frame 2, wherein the insertion holes 11 and the insertion sections 23 are each provided in a number greater than 1, and wherein the plurality of insertion holes 11 and the plurality of insertion sections 23 are spaced apart along the first direction, the first direction being the left-right direction, and wherein the plurality of insertion sections 23 are inserted one-to-one into the plurality of insertion holes 11. This ensures the structural stability of the assembly between the air guide frame 2 and the base 1 at all positions along the left-right direction.

[0046] In some embodiments, the base 1 and the air guide frame 2 are connected to each other via a fastening element, wherein a column body 12 connected to the fastening element is arranged on the base 1, and wherein a fastening hole 24 is provided on the air guide frame 2 through which the fastening element can be passed.

[0047] For example, in Fig. As shown in Figure 5, the column body 12 can be a threaded column. The column body 12 can be located on the left side of the base 1 and extend along the front-to-back direction, with a threaded hole provided within the column body 12. As shown in Fig.As shown in Figure 6, the mounting hole 24 can be located on the left side of the air guide frame 2 and extend through the air guide frame 2 in a front-to-back direction. The fastening element can be a screw, etc. During assembly, the fastening element is screwed directly through the mounting hole 24 into the column body 12, thus ensuring the structural stability of the assembly between the air guide frame 2 and the base 1.
