[0059] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0060] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs; the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of this application; the use of the terms "including," "comprising," "having" and variations thereof herein is meant to encompass the items listed thereafter and equivalents thereof as well as additional items.

[0061] Referring to FIGS. 1-8, the embodiment of the present application provides a louver assembly for assembling to a housing 20 of an air conditioner. The housing 20 has an air duct 20a formed therein, and cold air flows out of an air outlet of the air duct 20a. The louver assembly 10 can be arranged at the air outlet of the air duct 20a to control the direction of the air flow.

[0062] Referring to FIG. 1, the louver assembly 10 includes a support 11, a louver 12, and a locking member 13. The support 11 provides a mounting reference for the louver 12 and the locking member 13.

[0063] The louver 12 and the locking member 13 are arranged on the support 11.

[0064] The louver 12 is a thin plate structure, which directly contacts the air flow and controls the direction of the air flow by swinging. The louver 12 is generally used in cooperation with a deflector 30 to guide the direction of the air flow.

[0065] The locking member 13 is relatively translatable with respect to the support 11 between a first position and a second position. That is, the locking member 13 is movable with respect to the support 11, and the locking member 13 is reciprocally movable with respect to the support 11 between the first position and the second position.

[0066] In the first position, the locking member 13 is used to connect the housing 20 to lock the louver assembly 10. In the second position, the locking member 13 is unlocked. That is, the locking member 13 is used to lock or unlock the louver assembly 10.

[0067] When the air duct needs to be cleaned, the louver assembly 10 can be unlocked by relatively moving the locking member 13 to the second position, so that the louver assembly 10 can be easily taken out to clean the air duct and the louver assembly 10 itself. After cleaning, the louver assembly 10 is placed back to the original position, and the locking member 13 is relatively moved to the first position, so that the louver assembly 10 is connected to the housing 20 to lock the louver assembly 10 on the air conditioner, and the installation of the louver assembly 10 is completed. The above-mentioned operation of assembling and disassembling the louver assembly 10 is simple and convenient, and does not need special tools, which greatly reduces the difficulty of the customer to clean the air duct and the louver assembly 10.

[0068] Referring to FIGS. 1-14, the embodiment of the present application also discloses an air conditioner, which includes a housing 20 and a louver assembly 10.

[0069] Referring to FIG. 10, FIG. 11 and FIG. 14, the inner wall of the shell 20 is provided with a louver mounting groove 20b, and the louver assembly 10 is arranged in the louver mounting groove 20b. The inner wall of the louver mounting groove 20b forms a slot 20c. In the first position, the locking member 13 partially extends into the slot 20c to lock the louver assembly 10. In the second position, the locking member 13 exits the slot 20c to be unlocked. Through the cooperation of the locking member 13 and the slot 20c, the locking and unlocking control of the louver assembly 10 is realized.

[0070] It can be understood that the surface of the mounting louver member 12 of the support 11 participates in constituting the air duct.

[0071] It can be understood that, in order to reduce the wind resistance, the support 11 of the louver assembly 10 mounted in the louver mounting groove 20b is flush with the edge of the louver mounting groove 20b. Thus, the connection between the two does not form a step to reduce the wind resistance.

[0072] Referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, in order to reduce the friction between the locking member 13 and the slot 20c, in some embodiments, the part of the locking member 13 inserted into the slot 20c forms an arc-shaped protrusion 136, and the surface of the arc-shaped protrusion 136 in contact with the wall of the slot 20c is an arc surface. In the insertion direction of the locking member 13, the middle of the arc surface gradually decreases towards both ends. The arc-shaped protrusion 136 and the wall of the slot 20c are in line contact, the contact area is small, the friction when moving relative to each other is reduced, and the arc surface of the arc-shaped protrusion 136 also has a certain guiding effect.

[0073] It can be understood that the distribution direction of the first position and the second position is the moving direction of the locking member. The distribution direction of the first position and the second position is not limited, for example, the two can be distributed along the length direction of the support 11.

[0074] In some embodiments, the first position and the second position are distributed along the width direction of the support 11, and the locking member 13 can slide between the first position and the second position.

[0075] Specifically, the locking member 13 can reciprocate between the first position and the second position, that is, the sliding direction of the locking member 13 is the width direction of the support 11. In this way, after the louver assembly 10 is installed in the air conditioner, the width direction of the support 11 is actually the airflow direction of the air duct 20a.

[0076] When the user disassembles, the hand extends into the air outlet of the air duct 20a, and the sliding direction of the locking member 13 is limited to the airflow direction of the air duct 20a, which makes the direction of the user's hand extending into the air duct 20a consistent with the sliding direction, thereby facilitating the user's operation.

[0077] In some embodiments, the locking member 13 comprises a locking portion 131 and a pushing portion 134 connected with each other, wherein the locking portion 131 is configured to cooperate with the housing 20 to lock the shutter assembly 10, and the pushing portion 134 is configured to directly bear the pushing of the user. The user pushes the pushing portion 134, so that the locking portion 131 and the pushing portion 134 move as a whole.

[0078] In some embodiments, the locking portion 131 is located on one side of the support 11 along the thickness direction, and the pushing portion 134 is located on the other side of the support 11 along the thickness direction. That is, the two are located on opposite sides of the support 11 along the thickness direction, so that the locking portion 131 can cooperate with the housing 20, and at the same time, the user can conveniently push the locking member 13.

[0079] In particular, the locking portion 131 can be distributed on the side of the support 11 away from the mounting surface of the shutter member 12. The pushing portion 134 can be distributed on the side of the support 11 on which the shutter member 12 is mounted.

[0080] It can be understood that the connection structure of the locking member 13 and the housing 20 is not limited. For example, part of the housing 20 can extend into the shutter mounting groove 20b to form a locking cooperation structure. When the locking member 13 is in the first position, the locking member can cooperate with the locking cooperation structure without extending out of the side edge of the support.

[0081] Referring to FIGS. 2 and 4, in some embodiments, the locking member 13 comprises a locking portion 131. When in the first position, the locking portion 131 extends out of the side edge of the support 11 along the width direction of the support. It can be understood that the locking portion 131 extending out of the side edge of the support 11 is inserted into the insertion slot 20c, thereby achieving the mounting and fixing of the support 11. When in the second position, the locking portion 131 is retracted into the side edge of the support 11 along the width direction of the support 11. It can be understood that the locking portion 131 retracted into the side edge of the support 11 is moved out of the insertion slot 20c, thereby achieving the unlocking of the support 11 to facilitate the taking out of the shutter assembly 10. It can be understood that the locking portion 131 extending out of the side edge of the support 11 can cooperate with the insertion slot 20c formed in the shutter mounting groove 20b, which makes it unnecessary to form a complex locking cooperation structure in the shutter mounting groove 20b, and the manufacturing is relatively simple.

[0082] It can be understood that the arc-shaped protrusion 136 is arranged on the locking portion 131.

[0083] It can be understood that the side edge of the support 11 for the locking portion 131 to extend out can be any side edge of the support 11. In some embodiments, the side edge of the support 11 for the locking portion 131 to extend out is the side edge of the support 11 toward the outlet side of the air duct 20a.

[0084] Further, the first side of the support 11 is extended by the locking part 131, the support 11 has a second side opposite to the first side, and the second side of the support 11 has a plurality of lateral protruding clamping protrusions 111.

[0085] It can be understood that the clamping grooves 20d corresponding to the clamping protrusions 111 are formed on the inner wall of the louver mounting groove 20b corresponding to the second side of the support 11. During installation, the support 11 is in an inclined state, the clamping protrusions 111 are inserted into the clamping grooves 20d, and then the support 11 is deflected downward until it is installed into the louver mounting groove 20b, and then the locking part 13 is actuated to switch from the second position to the first position, thereby completing the installation of the louver assembly 10. At this time, the opposite sides of the support 11 are connected with the shell 20, and the connection is more stable and reliable.

[0086] In addition, from the above installation process, it can be seen that since the clamping protrusions 111 need to cooperate with the clamping grooves 20d in the inclined state of the support 11, the second side of the support 11 needs to be avoided in the hand-holding position. In some embodiments, the first side is directed towards the air outlet of the air duct 20a, so that the hand-holding position is on the first side directed towards the air outlet, thereby facilitating the installation of the louver assembly 10.

[0087] In order to prevent the louver assembly 10 from being unlocked due to working vibration after being installed and locked, some embodiments of the louver assembly 10 include a resilient part connected with the locking part 13, and the resilient part generates an elastic force for keeping the locking part 13 in the first position. The locking part 13 in the first position is connected with the shell 20 and remains connected with the shell 20 under the action of the resilient part to achieve locking, and the above locking state is maintained under the action of the resilient part and will not be released due to vibration.

[0088] In order to keep the locking part 13 in the first position, please refer to FIG. 4, in some embodiments, the inner wall of the mounting groove 11a is partially recessed to form a blocking part 113, and the locking part 13 abuts against the blocking part 113 when in the first position. The resilient part (not shown in the figure) is used to provide a force for keeping the locking part 13 abutting by deforming itself.

[0089] The blocking part 113 can have two groups symmetrically distributed on the inner walls of the two sides of the mounting groove 11a. In this way, the locking part 13 abuts against the blocking parts 113 on the two sides of the mounting groove 11a when in the first position, thereby ensuring that it will not be skewed to affect the subsequent sliding.

[0090] In a specific embodiment, the locking member 13 comprises two spaced elastic claws 132 and a connecting portion 133 connecting the two elastic claws 132. The connecting portion 133 is connected to one end of the two elastic claws 132. The elastic claw 132 comprises an elastic connecting portion 1321 and a claw portion 1322. The elastic connecting portion 1321 is in a strip structure and can be elastically deformed. One end of the elastic connecting portion 1321 is connected to the connecting portion 133. When subjected to an external force, the two elastic connecting portions 1321 can elastically contract inwardly away from the end of the connecting portion 133. When the external force is eliminated or reduced, the two elastic connecting portions 1321 can elastically expand outwardly away from the end of the connecting portion 133.

[0091] The two claw portions 1322 are arranged at the end of the elastic connecting portion 1321 away from the connecting portion 133 and protrude from the side of the elastic connecting portion 1321 away from the other elastic connecting portion 1321.

[0092] It can be understood that the elastic claw 132, the connecting portion 133 and the locking portion 131 can be integrally injection molded.

[0093] The structure of the elastic member is not limited and can be, for example, a tension spring, a compression spring or a torsion spring.

[0094] The mounting position of the elastic member is not limited. In some embodiments, the elastic member is a compression spring. A spring seat 114 is arranged in the mounting groove 11a of the support 11. A cavity corresponding to the spring seat 114 is formed on the locking member 13. One end of the compression spring is inserted into the cavity and abuts against the wall of the cavity. The other end of the compression spring abuts against the spring seat 114. When the locking member 13 is in the first position, i.e., the claw portion 1322 abuts against the blocking portion 113, the compression spring is in a compressed state, thereby providing elastic support to make the locking member 13 have a tendency to remain in the first position.

[0095] In order to improve the stability of the compression spring installation, in some embodiments, a protruding column is formed on the spring seat 114. A protruding column is formed in the cavity of the locking member 13 corresponding to the spring seat 114. The two ends of the compression spring are respectively sleeved on the two protruding columns, thereby avoiding the situation that the compression spring is radially deviated after being subjected to pressure.

[0096] In other embodiments, in order to make the locking member 13 remain in the first position, the inner wall of the mounting groove 11a is partially outwardly expanded to form a retreat-preventing groove. The elastic member is an elastic claw 132 connected to the locking member 13. When the locking member 13 is in the first position, the elastic claw 132 is elastically clamped into the retreat-preventing groove.

[0097] The elastic snap-in stop groove refers to that the elastic snap claws 132 are snapped into the stop groove under the action of the elastic force of the elastic snap claws 132 when the locking member 13 is in the first position. At this time, the elastic force of the elastic snap claws 132 makes the elastic snap claws 132 have a tendency to be kept in the stop groove.

[0098] The elastic snap claws 132 can be spaced apart and symmetrically distributed. Correspondingly, the stop groove can have two groups of stop grooves symmetrically distributed on the inner walls of the two sides of the mounting groove 11a, and the two groups of stop grooves correspond to one elastic snap claw respectively. In this way, when the locking member 13 is in the first position, the elastic snap claws of the locking member 13 are all snapped into the stop groove, so as to ensure that the elastic snap claws will not be deflected to affect the subsequent sliding.

[0099] In a specific embodiment, the snap claw part 1322 of the elastic snap claw 132 is in the stop groove, and the elastic connecting part 1321 is used to keep the snap claw part 1322 in the stop groove. The stop groove is distributed in the sliding stroke of the locking member 13. When the snap claw part 1322 enters between the stop grooves, the elastic connecting part 1321 is in a compressed state and shrinks inward, and the interval between the two snap claw parts 1322 is shortened. When the snap claw part 1322 moves to the stop groove, the elastic connecting part 1321 rebounds to make the snap claw part 1322 enter the stop groove, that is, the locking member 13 is in the first position. At this time, if the snap claw part 1322 needs to be removed, the elastic force of the elastic connecting part 1321 needs to be overcome. The above-mentioned elastic force makes the locking member 13 have a tendency to be kept in the first position.

[0100] The number of locking members is not limited and can be one or multiple.

[0101] Please refer to FIG. 1. In some embodiments, the number of locking members 13 is multiple, and the multiple locking members 13 are spaced apart along the length direction of the support 11. The multiple locking members 13 improve the reliability of the installation of the louver assembly 10 and the louver mounting groove 20b and effectively avoid the situation that the installation of the entire louver assembly 10 is failed due to the failure of a single locking member 13.

[0102] Please refer to FIG. 4. For the installation structure of the locking member 13, in some embodiments, the support 11 has a mounting groove 11a, and the locking member 13 is arranged in the mounting groove 11a.

[0103] The support 11 has a second opening 11b, the second opening 11b is communicated with the mounting groove 11a and is located on the first side of the support 11. The locking part 131 can extend out of the mounting groove 11a from the second opening 11b or retract into the mounting groove 11a.

[0104] To facilitate the installation of the locking member 13, in some embodiments, the side of the installation slot 11a facing away from the louver member 12 is open. In addition, to prevent the locking member 13 from falling out of the installation slot 11a, a protruding stopper 112 is provided on part of the surface of the installation slot 11a, which supports the bottom of the locking member 13, thereby preventing the locking member 13 from falling out of the open side of the installation slot 11a.

[0105] It can be understood that when the number of locking members 13 is multiple, in order to disassemble the louver assembly 10, it is necessary to make the multiple locking members 13 all disengage from the insertion slot 20c, that is, it is necessary to make the multiple locking members 13 all be able to maintain the state of retracting the support 11.

[0106] To this end, in some embodiments, the locking member 13 can move to a third position relative to the support 11, so that the locking member 13 is relatively fixed in position with the support 11 to maintain the unlocked state. In this way, one of the locking members 13 can be moved to the third position and then released, and after being released, the locking member 13 can still be maintained in the third position, that is, in the unlocked state, without returning to the first position. This facilitates the unlocking of other locking members 13.

[0107] Among them, the way the locking member 13 moves to the third position is not limited. For example, the locking member 13 can move into the third position by moving along the length direction of the support 11, that is, the left-right direction in FIG. 1.

[0108] In some embodiments, the locking member 13 can move to the third position in the thickness direction of the support 11. In FIG. 1, the thickness direction is the up-down direction in the figure. That is, the locking member 13 can move into the third position by moving upward or downward. In a specific embodiment, the locking member 13 can move upward to the third position when it is in the second position.

[0109] It can be understood that since the locking member 13 is in the first position and the position of the locking member 13 is relatively fixed with the insertion slot 20c, after the locking member 13 exits the insertion slot 20c, by moving the locking member 13 in the thickness direction of the support 11, the locking member 13 can be misaligned with the insertion slot 20c, so that the locking member 13 maintains the state of exiting the insertion slot 20c, avoiding the locking member 13 from extending again after being released.

[0110] In order to realize that the locking member 13 can move to the third position in the thickness direction of the support 11, please refer to FIG. 2 and FIG. 4, in some embodiments, the locking member 13 is arranged in the installation slot 11a and partially extends above the top wall of the installation slot 11a. The part of the locking member 13 in the installation slot 11a and the part of the locking member 13 above the top wall of the installation slot 11a have a spacing space therebetween. The spacing space is greater than the thickness of the top wall of the installation slot 11a.

[0111] It can be understood that the spacing space is greater than the thickness of the top wall of the mounting groove 11a, which provides space for the upward or downward movement of the locking member 13, so as to be misaligned with the corresponding insertion hole on the shell 20.

[0112] The part of the locking member 13 upwardly extends the support 11 to form a pushing part 134. That is, the pushing part 134 protrudes upwardly to facilitate being pushed by hand. Meanwhile, when the locking member 13 is moved upwardly or downwardly, the pushing part 134 serves as a direct force receiving part to bear the clamping force of the user's hand.

[0113] The locking member 13 includes a limiting plate body 135 arranged on the pushing part 134 and protruding laterally from the pushing part 134. It can be understood that the limiting plate body 135 is distributed above the top wall of the mounting groove 11a. The spacing space is between the part of the locking member 13 in the mounting groove 11a and the limiting plate body 135.

[0114] It can be understood that the top wall of the support 11 is provided with the louver member 12, and the top wall of the support 11 has a first opening, the length of the first opening extending in the width direction of the support 11, that is, the pushing direction. The locking member 13 is slidingly arranged in the mounting groove 11a, and the pushing part 134 extends from the first opening.

[0115] Further, in order to reduce the resistance in the pushing process, referring to FIG. 2, in some embodiments, the surface of the limiting plate body 135 facing the top wall of the mounting groove 11a is protruded to form a protruding strip 1351, and the surface of the part of the locking member 13 in the mounting groove 11a facing the top wall of the mounting groove 11a is protruded to form a protruding strip 1351. The protruding strip 1351 can reduce the contact area with the top wall of the mounting groove 11a, thereby reducing the friction and the pushing resistance.

[0116] Referring to FIGS. 5-7, in some embodiments, the louver assembly 10 further includes a first driving member 18 and a linkage member 19 connected to the support 11, respectively. The number of the locking members 13 is multiple, and the linkage member 19 is connected to the first driving member 18 and each of the locking members 13, respectively. That is, the first driving member 18 drives each of the locking members 13 through the linkage member 19.

[0117] The first driving member 18 can move to a fourth position or a fifth position relative to the support 11. When the first driving member 18 moves to the fourth position, the first driving member 18 drives the linkage member 19 to move, so that the linkage member 19 drives each of the locking members 13 to be in the first position. When the first driving member 18 moves to the fifth position, the first driving member 18 drives the linkage member 19 to move, so that the linkage member 19 drives each of the locking members 13 to be in the second position.

[0118] Thus, by the movement of the first driving member 18, all the locking members 13 can be driven to move to the first position or the second position. This makes the switching of the plurality of locking members 13 between the first position and the second position only need one operation, which is simple and convenient.

[0119] The structure of the first driving member 18 is not limited.

[0120] For example, the first driving member 18 is a sliding part, at this time, the fourth position and the fifth position are located in the sliding path of the knob 134, the linkage member 19 is a long link member, and the plurality of locking members 13 are arranged on the link member along the length direction of the link member. By moving the sliding part, the link member can be pushed, and then the plurality of locking members 13 are driven to switch between the first position and the second position.

[0121] In other embodiments, the first driving member 18 is a knob 137, which is rotatably arranged on the support 11. It can be understood that the fourth position and the fifth position are distributed in the rotation path of the knob 137. Rotating the knob 137 can make each locking member 13 switch between the first position and the second position.

[0122] In order to facilitate the operation of the knob 137, the knob 137 is located on the side of the support 11 where the louver 12 is installed.

[0123] In some embodiments, the knob 137 is provided in at least two groups, the knob 137 includes a rotatable knob part 1371 and a swing rod 1372 fixedly connected with the knob part 1371, and the linkage member 19 is movably connected with the swing rod 1372 of each knob 137. The rotation of the knob 137 makes the swing rod 1372 swing to drive the linkage member 19 and each locking member 13 to swing in parallel.

[0124] The linkage member 19 is a long link member. The linkage member 19 is movably connected with the swing rod 1372 of each knob 137, and the plurality of locking members 13 are distributed on the same side of the linkage member 19. When one knob 137 rotates, it will drive each locking member 13 to swing in parallel.

[0125] It can be understood that when the swing rod 1372 swings, each swing rod 1372 has the function of a crank of a parallelogram mechanism, and at this time the linkage member 19 and the swing rod 1372 will have relative rotation. Thus, when the swing rod 1378 swings to drive the locking member 13 to switch between the first position and the second position, the orientation of the locking member 13 is fixed, thereby reducing the width requirement of the slot 20c matched with the locking member 13.

[0126] The two groups of knobs 137 can be distributed at both ends of the linkage member 19. The linkage member 19 and the plurality of locking members 13 can be integrally formed.

[0127] It can be understood that, during the switching of the locking member 13 between the first position and the second position, there will be a lateral movement, that is, a movement along the length direction of the support 11. In this regard, in some embodiments, the width of the locking member 13 gradually decreases from one end of the connecting linkage 19 to the other end. In this way, the influence of the above-mentioned lateral movement on the width dimension of the matching slot 20c is reduced.

[0128] In order to facilitate the installation of the linkage 19 and the knob 137, in some embodiments, a through groove 19a is formed on the linkage 19, and the through groove 19a has a large head section, a small head section, and a connecting section connecting the large head section and the small head section, wherein the width of the large head section is greater than the width of the small head section, and the width of the small head section is greater than the width of the connecting section.

[0129] The connecting head 1373 is provided on the swing rod 1372, and the connecting head 1373 has a rod portion and a large head portion connected to each other, and the rod portion is connected to the swing rod 1372 at an end away from the large head portion, and the diameter of the large head portion is greater than the diameter of the rod portion.

[0130] During installation, the large head portion of the connecting head 1373 passes through the large head section of the through groove 19a, and then the connecting head 1373 moves along the connecting section until the connecting head 1373 moves into the small head section of the through groove 19a. The rod portion of the connecting head 1373 is in interference fit with the connecting section of the through groove 19a, and the rod portion of the connecting head 1373 is in clearance fit with the small head section of the through groove 19a. The width of the small head section of the through groove 19a is less than the width of the large head portion of the connecting head 1373.

[0131] In order to reduce the resistance in the rotation of the knob, in some embodiments, an arc-shaped convex strip 117 is formed on the surface of the support 11, and the arc-shaped convex strip 117 can be supported on the swing rod 1372, thereby supporting the swing rod 1372 while reducing the contact area between the swing rod 1372 and the surface of the support 11, thereby reducing the friction.

[0132] The center of the arc of the arc-shaped convex strip 117 is coaxial with the center of the knob 137, so that the contact area between the arc-shaped convex strip 117 and the swing rod 1372 is relatively stable and does not change during the swinging.

[0133] In order to limit the maximum angle of rotation, a stopper can be provided at the end of the swinging stroke of the swing rod 1372.

[0134] It should be noted that, since the louver mounting groove 20b has a gap communicating with the outside, for example, for the structure of the externally disposed second driving member 14 used to drive the louver member 12 to swing, a gap exists on the peripheral side of the second driving member 14, and thus hot air flow from the outside is likely to flow in from the gap, and then condensation occurs to generate condensed water. In addition, the negative pressure at the air outlet of the air duct 20a also easily increases the inflow speed of the hot air flow. Therefore, sealing needs to be formed at the connection between the louver assembly 10 and the louver mounting groove 20b.

[0135] Please refer to FIG. 4 and FIG. 13, in some embodiments, the support 11 includes a mounting panel 115 and a protruding rib 116 connected to the mounting panel 115 away from the louver member 12. It can be understood that the protruding rib 116 can improve the strength of the mounting panel 115.

[0136] In which, the first side and the opposite second side of the mounting panel 115 extend laterally and beyond the protruding rib 116 to form an overlapping portion 1151. The overlapping portion 1151 is used to overlap and support on the groove wall of the louver mounting groove 20b of the shell 20 to form a sealed connection.

[0137] In order to make the height of the overlapping position flat with the surrounding, the corresponding area of the louver mounting groove 20b of the shell 20 forms an overlapping step, and the overlapping portion 1151 is supported on the opposite recessed overlapping step, so that the overlapping position after installation is flat with the surrounding.

[0138] Further, the protruding rib 116 forms a closed ring. The ring-shaped protruding rib 116 can abut against the bottom of the louver mounting groove 20b or the side wall of the louver mounting groove 20b, thereby constituting further sealing.

[0139] It can be understood that the number of protruding ribs 116 can be one or more. In some embodiments, two protruding ribs 116 are arranged at intervals on the first side, and the two protruding ribs 116 extend in parallel. A plurality of reinforcing ribs are arranged at intervals between the two protruding ribs 116 to support between the two protruding ribs 116 to improve the overall strength. One protruding rib 116 is arranged on the second side. In which, the two protruding ribs 116 on the first side and the one protruding rib 116 on the second side are connected to form a closed ring.

[0140] In some embodiments, in the area where the mounting groove 11a is located, the protruding rib 116 extends around the mounting groove 11a. In this embodiment, the protruding rib 116 constitutes the side wall of the mounting groove 11a.

[0141] Please refer to FIG. 1-4, FIG. 13, in some embodiments, the louver assembly 10 comprises a second driving member 14 and a connecting rod 15, the second driving member 14 drives the plurality of louver members 12 to swing through the connecting rod 15, wherein the second driving member 14 is arranged on the side of the support away from the louver members 12.

[0142] The second driving member 14 drives the plurality of louver members 12 to swing through the connecting rod 15 can be understood as: the second driving member 14 can drive one louver member 12 to swing, and the swing is transmitted to the other plurality of louver members 12 through the connecting rod 15. Or the second driving member 14 drives the connecting rod 15 to move, and the movement of the connecting rod 15 drives the plurality of louver members 12 to swing.

[0143] The second driving member 14 can be a motor. In the related art, the motor is arranged in the air duct and covered with foam to avoid the motor from producing condensate water to affect the service life and work. In the above-mentioned embodiments, the driving member is arranged on the side of the support 11 away from the louver members 12. That is, the driving member is not installed in the air duct 20a, but is installed on the back of the air duct 20a. This greatly reduces the influence of the cold air flow in the air duct 20a on the driving member, to some extent, avoids the condensate water on the surface of the driving member from flowing into the interior to affect its work, and also cancels the foam covering the second driving member 14, thereby reducing the manufacturing cost.

[0144] It can be understood that the transmission mode between the second driving member 14 and the louver members 12 is not limited. For example, the second driving member 14 can drive one louver member 12 to swing, and the swing is transmitted to the other plurality of louver members 12 through the connecting rod 15. Or the second driving member 14 drives the connecting rod 15, and then drives the plurality of louver members 12 connected with the connecting rod to swing.

[0145] In order to reduce the heat exchange between the cold air flow in the air duct and the second driving member 14, in some embodiments, the louver assembly 10 comprises a transmission shaft 16, which is arranged in transmission between the main shaft of the driving member and the louver members 12 or in transmission between the main shaft of the driving member and the connecting rod 15. It can be understood that the louver members 12 are in the air duct 20a, and their temperature will be reduced under the action of the cold air flow. By arranging the transmission shaft 16, the transmission path between the main shaft of the driving member and the louver members 12 is extended, thereby reducing the influence of the cold air flow on the main shaft of the driving member, and greatly avoiding the condensate water on the main shaft of the driving member.

[0146] It can be understood that the material of the transmission shaft 16 is not limited. In some embodiments, the thermal conductivity of the transmission shaft 16 is lower than that of the main shaft of the driving member, so as to further reduce the influence of the cold air flow in the air duct 20a on the temperature of the main shaft of the driving member, thereby more greatly reducing the probability of condensate water on the main shaft of the second driving member 14. For example, the transmission shaft 16 is made of polyoxymethylene, which has a relatively low thermal conductivity and excellent friction resistance.

[0147] In some embodiments, the link rod 15 can be arranged to be hidden, i.e. the link rod 15 is arranged on the side of the support 11 facing away from the louver 12. After the louver assembly 10 is installed, the link rod 15 is hidden below the support 11.

[0148] It can be understood that the number of the louver assemblies 10 is one or more groups. When the louver assemblies 10 are arranged in multiple groups, the multiple groups of louver assemblies 10 can be arranged in a row.

[0149] It can be understood that, in a group of louver assemblies 10, the number of the supports 11 is not limited. In some embodiments, multiple supports 11 are arranged, and each of the supports 11 is arranged with a plurality of louvers 12. The link rod 15 connects the louvers 12 on the multiple supports 11, and the second driving member 14 drives the multiple louvers 12 to swing through the link rod 15. The second driving member 14 drives the link rod 15, and then drives the louvers 12 on the multiple supports 11 to swing, so as to reduce the manufacturing cost.

[0150] Referring to FIG. 9, in some embodiments, the shell 20 includes a face frame 21 and a pipe cover 22 arranged on the face frame 21. The face frame 21 is a cover for the appearance of the air conditioner, and the face frame 21 has a window for mounting the pipe cover 22. The pipe cover 22 is located at the position corresponding to the copper pipe joint.

[0151] The second driving member 14 is located in the face frame 21, and the pipe cover 22 can be detached to expose the second driving member 14. In this way, when the second driving member 14 needs to be inspected and replaced, the pipe cover 22 can be detached without detaching the face frame 21.

[0152] Referring to FIG. 3 and FIG. 13, in some embodiments, the louver assembly 10 includes a machine cover 17 and a wire, and the machine cover 17 and the part of the shell 20 facing away from the air duct 20a form a closed cavity, and the second driving member 14 is installed in the closed cavity.

[0153] In order to improve the sealing effect, in some embodiments, the part of the shell 20 facing away from the air duct 20a forms an annular rib 116, the second driving member 14 is placed into and fastened from the opening of the machine cover 17, the opening of the machine cover 17 is directed towards the annular rib 116, and the bolt is fastened after being buckled and sealed.

[0154] In some embodiments, the part of the shell 20 facing away from the air duct 20a is covered with a thermal insulation layer, and the wire is connected to the second driving member 14 and is arranged laterally to avoid the thermal insulation layer. It should be noted that the air conditioner will vibrate in the working state, and at this time the wire is prone to shaking. By arranging the wire to avoid the thermal insulation layer, the friction between the thermal insulation layer and the wire is avoided to generate noise.

[0155] Referring to FIG. 11, the air conditioner includes a guide vane 30. The guide vane 30 is installed at the air outlet position of the air duct 20a, and is used to adjust the air outlet direction.

[0156] In some embodiments, the number of air deflectors 30 is one, and the air deflector 30 is reversibly arranged on the housing 20.

[0157] When the air duct 20a needs to be cleaned, the user deflects the air deflector 30 downward to a limit angle, and then disassembles and replaces the internal louver assembly 10, so that the air deflector 30 does not need to be disassembled, thereby reducing the difficulty of disassembly for the user. It can be understood that the limit angle allows the air deflector 30 to completely leak out of the air outlet of the air duct, thereby facilitating operation.

[0158] In other embodiments, the number of air deflectors 30 is one or more, and each air deflector 30 is detachably arranged on the housing 20. When the air duct 20a needs to be cleaned, the user disassembles each air deflector 30, and after disassembly, each air deflector 30 completely leaks out of the air outlet of the air duct, thereby facilitating the user to disassemble and replace the internal louver assembly 10.

[0159] Further, the housing 20 is provided with a connecting arm, and the air deflector 30 is detachably connected to the connecting arm. Specifically, referring to FIG. 1, the support 11 has an opening of the avoiding groove 11c in the direction toward the second side, and the connecting arm enters the avoiding groove 11c from the opening during installation.
