AI Technical Summary
The existing air conditioner deflector drive mechanism is prone to jamming due to the inconsistent movement speeds of the first and second links. It has a complex structure and requires a crank, which complicates the mechanism.
The first and second connecting rods are directly rotatably connected to the air guide plate, and its movement is driven by the rotating parts, avoiding the crank structure. The opening and closing motion of the air guide plate is designed using a non-fixed point curved segment trajectory, which simplifies the structure.
This allows for the smooth opening and closing of the air guide plate, avoiding interference with the housing and reducing the complexity and cost of the drive mechanism.

[0066] It should be noted that the embodiments in the embodiments of the present disclosure and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.
[0067] In combination with FIGS. 1 to 46, the embodiments of the present disclosure provide a driving mechanism for an air deflector of an air conditioner.
[0068] The air conditioner comprises an indoor unit 100 and an outdoor unit connected with the indoor unit. The indoor unit 100 comprises a shell 1001, an evaporator, a fan and a guide vane 1002. The shell 1001 defines an air duct, the evaporator and the fan are arranged in the air duct, the shell 1001 is provided with an air inlet and an air outlet which are in communication with the air duct, and the guide vane 1002 is arranged at the air outlet. The fan drives air to enter the air duct through the air inlet, and the air is blown out from the air outlet after heat exchange with the evaporator. The guide vane 1002 is used for adjusting the air outlet direction of the air outlet, that is, when the guide vane 1002 is at different guide vane positions, the air outlet direction of the air outlet is different.
[0069] The driving mechanism for the guide vane of the air conditioner comprises a linkage assembly and a rotating member 3, and the linkage assembly comprises a linkage, which comprises a first linkage 1 and / or a second linkage 2.
[0070] The first linkage 1 is configured to be rotationally connected with the guide vane 1002, and the second linkage 2 is configured to be rotationally connected with the guide vane 1002. The rotating member 3 comprises a first driving part in driving connection with the first linkage 1 and a second driving part in driving connection with the second linkage 2.
[0071] When the rotating member 3 rotates in a set direction, the first linkage 1 is driven to move by the first driving part and the second linkage 2 is driven to move by the second driving part, so as to open the guide vane 1002.
[0072] When the rotating member 3 rotates in the opposite direction of the set direction, the first linkage 1 is driven to move by the first driving part and the second linkage 2 is driven to move by the second driving part, so as to close the guide vane 1002. The set direction can be clockwise or counterclockwise.
[0073] The first linkage comprises a first linkage body 18 and a connecting part 192, and the connecting part is rotationally connected with the guide vane and arranged at one end of the first linkage body.
[0074] During the opening process of the guide vane 1002, the movement track of the first linkage 1 comprises a first curve segment track 513, and the curvature center of the first curve segment track is a non-fixed point; and / or, the movement track of the second linkage 2 comprises a second curve segment track, and the curvature center of the second curve segment track is a non-fixed point.
[0075] During the opening process of the guide vane 1002, the movement track of the first linkage body 18 comprises a first curve segment track 513, and the curvature radii of at least two points on the first curve segment track are different; and / or, the movement track of the second linkage 2 comprises a second curve segment track, and the curvature radii of at least two points on the second curve segment track are different.
[0076] As shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 27, the curvature center of the first curve segment trajectory is not fixed, and the curvature centers of at least two points on the first curve segment trajectory are not the same point, so that the first curve segment trajectory is not a circular arc, so that the first rod body 18 has a first extension movement (generally perpendicular to the plane of the air outlet) and a movement in a first deviation movement direction deviating from the first extension movement direction (the direction of the first extension movement) during the opening of the guide vane 1002. The first deviation movement direction and the first extension movement direction form a first movement of the first rod body 1.
[0077] The curvature center of the second curve segment trajectory is not fixed, and the curvature centers of at least two points on the second curve segment trajectory are not the same point, so that the second curve segment trajectory is not a circular arc, so that the second connecting rod 2 has a second extension movement (generally perpendicular to the plane of the air outlet) and a movement in a second deviation movement direction deviating from the second extension movement direction (the direction of the second extension movement) during the opening of the guide vane 1002. The second deviation movement direction and the second extension movement direction form a second movement of the second connecting rod 2.
[0078] During the opening of the guide vane 1002, the movement trajectory of the first rod body 18 includes the first curve segment trajectory and / or the movement trajectory of the second connecting rod 2 includes the second curve segment trajectory, so that the first rod body and the connecting part can be made into an integrated structure and directly connected with the guide vane 1002 through the first rotating shaft, without the need to additionally set the crank in the related art, avoiding the interference between the guide vane 1002 and the shell 1001 during the opening of the guide vane 1002. The second connecting rod 2 can also be made into an integrated structure and directly connected with the guide vane 1002 through the second rotating shaft, without the need to additionally set the crank in the related art, avoiding the interference between the guide vane 1002 and the shell 1001 during the opening of the guide vane 1002.
[0079] Optionally, the first rod body and the connecting part are an integrated structure and are directly connected with the guide vane 1002 through the first rotating shaft; and / or, the second connecting rod 2 is an integrated structure and is directly connected with the guide vane 1002 through the second rotating shaft.
[0080] Optionally, as shown in FIG. 4, during the process that the deflector 1002 is opened from the first position to the second position, the movement trajectory of the first rod body 18 includes a first sub-curve segment trajectory 514 and a second sub-curve segment trajectory 515 connected in sequence, the curvature center of the first sub-curve segment trajectory is located on the side of the first sub-curve segment trajectory facing the air outlet, the curvature center of the second sub-curve segment trajectory is located on the side of the second sub-curve segment trajectory away from the air outlet, and the movement trajectory of the second connecting rod 2 is a straight line trajectory N, as shown in FIG. 28.
[0081] wherein the first curve segment trajectory includes a first sub-curve segment trajectory and a second sub-curve segment trajectory, and the first connecting rod 1 sequentially passes through the first sub-curve segment trajectory and the second sub-curve segment trajectory during the process that the deflector 1002 is opened from the first position to the second position.
[0082] The curvature center of the first sub-curve segment trajectory is located on the side of the first sub-curve segment trajectory facing the air outlet, and the curvature center of the second sub-curve segment trajectory is located on the side of the second sub-curve segment trajectory away from the air outlet, that is, the bending directions of the first sub-curve segment trajectory and the second sub-curve segment trajectory are different, so as to realize that the first connecting rod 1 has the movement in the first stretching movement direction and the movement in the first deviating movement direction.
[0083] The first sub-curve segment trajectory is not parallel to the length direction of the first connecting rod, and the curvature center of the first sub-curve segment trajectory is not a fixed point, that is, the curvature centers of at least two segments of the first sub-curve segment trajectory are different; and the second sub-curve segment trajectory is not parallel to the length direction of the first connecting rod, and the curvature center of the second sub-curve segment trajectory is not a fixed point, that is, the curvature centers of at least two segments of the second sub-curve segment trajectory are different.
[0084] With the above arrangement, when the first rod body 18 moves along the first sub-curve segment trajectory, the first connecting rod 1 has the movement in the first stretching movement direction and the movement in the first sub-movement direction. When the first connecting rod 1 moves along the second sub-curve segment trajectory, the first connecting rod 1 has the movement in the first stretching movement direction and the movement in the second sub-movement direction. The first deviating movement direction includes the first sub-movement direction and the second sub-movement direction, and the first sub-movement direction and the second sub-movement direction are different directions, that is, have different angles with the first stretching movement direction.
[0085] Optionally, during the process that the deflector 1002 is opened from the second position to the fourth position, the second connecting rod 2 rotates around the first rotation axis at the movable connection between the second connecting rod 2 and the deflector 1002. For example, the movable connection between the second connecting rod 2 and the deflector 1002 is that the second connecting rod 2 and the deflector 1002 are connected by rotating around the second rotation axis, and the axis line of the second rotation axis rotates around the axis line of the first rotation axis.
[0086] In the process that the deflector 1002 is opened from the second position to the fourth position, the first connecting rod 1 stops moving, and the second connecting rod 2 moves along a circular arc track M, as shown in FIG. 28.
[0087] In this arrangement, the first connecting rod 1 stops moving, and the structure of the driving mechanism for the air conditioner deflector can be simplified while achieving the opening of the deflector 1002 from the second position to the fourth position, thereby reducing the cost of the driving mechanism for the air conditioner deflector.
[0088] The circular arc track M is connected to the linear track N and located on one side of the linear track N, and the center of the circular arc track M is located on the side of the circular arc track M away from the outlet.
[0089] Optionally, the first driving part includes a first driving part, and the second driving part includes a second driving part. The number of the first driving part and / or the second driving part is multiple. The first connecting rod 1 includes a first driven part matched with the first driving part, and the first driven part is arranged on the first rod body. The second connecting rod 2 includes a second driven part matched with the second driving part.
[0090] The first connecting rod 1 includes a first driving structure drivingly connected with the first driving part, and the first driving structure is the first driven part. The first driving structure includes a first slot structure, and the first driving part includes a first protruding structure arranged in the first slot structure and capable of sliding relative to the first slot structure. At this time, the first protruding structure includes the first driving part, and the number of the first driving part is multiple. Alternatively, the first driving part includes a first slot structure, and the first driving structure includes a first protruding structure arranged in the first slot structure and capable of sliding relative to the first slot structure. At this time, the first slot structure includes the first driving part, and the number of the first driving part is multiple.
[0091] The second connecting rod 2 includes a second driving structure drivingly connected with the second driving part, and the second driving structure is the second driven part. The second driving structure includes a second slot structure, and the second driving part includes a second protruding structure arranged in the second slot structure and capable of sliding relative to the second slot structure. At this time, the second protruding structure includes the second driving part, and the number of the second driving part is multiple. Alternatively, the second driving part includes a second slot structure, and the second driving structure includes a second protruding structure arranged in the second slot structure and capable of sliding relative to the second slot structure. At this time, the second slot structure includes the second driving part, and the number of the second driving part is multiple.
[0092] Through the cooperation of the first slot structure and the first protruding structure, the first driving part can drive the first connecting rod 1 to move. Through the cooperation of the second slot structure and the second protruding structure, the second driving part can drive the second connecting rod 2 to move, thereby achieving the opening and closing of the deflector 1002.
[0093] In the first position, the driving point of the rotating member to the first connecting rod (the matching point of the first slot structure and the first protruding structure) is not coincident with the movement direction of the air deflector, and the driving point of the rotating member to the second connecting rod (the matching point of the second slot structure and the second protruding structure) is not coincident with the movement direction of the air deflector, avoiding the formation of a dead point position coincident with the movement direction, so that the air deflector cannot be manually pulled open when the air conditioner is powered off.
[0094] Optionally, the number of the first active parts is multiple, including a first sub-active part and a second sub-active part, and the number of the second active parts is multiple, including a third sub-active part. One of the first sub-active part and the first driven part includes the first protruding column 31, and the other includes the first driving slot 11, that is, the first protruding column 31 is arranged on the rotating member 3, and the first driving slot 11 is arranged on the first connecting rod 1, or the first driving slot 11 is arranged on the rotating member 3, and the first protruding column 31 is arranged on the first connecting rod 1. One of the second sub-active part and the first driven part includes the second protruding column 32, and the other includes the second driving slot 12.
[0095] The first slot structure includes the first driving slot 11 and the second driving slot 12; the first protruding structure includes the first protruding column 31 and the second protruding column 32; during the process that the air deflector 1002 is opened from the first position to the second position, the first protruding column 31 is arranged in the first driving slot 11 and can slide relative to the first driving slot 11, and the second protruding column 32 is arranged in the second driving slot 12 and can slide relative to the second driving slot 12; wherein, as shown in FIG. 7 and FIG. 30, the first driving slot 11 and / or the second driving slot 12 is a curved slot.
[0096] In the case that the first driving slot 11 and the second driving slot 12 coexist, at least one of the first driving slot 11 and the second driving slot 12 is a curved slot, so that the movement trajectory of the first rod body includes a first curved segment trajectory.
[0097] As shown in FIG. 11, the driving mechanism for the air deflector of the air conditioner includes a power source, and the power source includes a driving member 7, a transmission member and a transmission shaft 4. The transmission shaft 4 is arranged between the driving member 7 and the transmission member, so that the driving member 7 drives the transmission member to move through the transmission shaft 4.

[0130] Embodiment one:
[0131] As shown in FIGS. 1 to 22, the first driving groove 11 is a curved groove, and the second driving groove 12 is a curved groove.
[0132] The first protruding column 31 is matched in size with the first driving groove 11, that is, when the first protruding column 31 is located in the first driving groove 11 and slides relative to the first driving groove 11, the first protruding column 31 can drive the first connecting rod 1 to move relative to the rotating member 3, in other words, cooperation of the first protruding column 31 and the first driving groove 11 can provide driving force for movement of the first connecting rod 1. Moreover, the second protruding column 32 is matched in size with the second driving groove 12.
[0133] The first protruding column 31 cooperates with the first driving groove 11, and the second protruding column 32 cooperates with the second driving groove 12, to jointly realize movement of the first connecting rod 1. Compared with cooperation of only one protruding column and one driving groove between the first connecting rod 1 and the rotating member 3, cooperation of the first protruding column 31 and the first driving groove 11 and cooperation of the second protruding column 32 and the second driving groove 12 can realize stable movement of the first connecting rod 1, and can realize superposition of movement in the first extension movement direction and movement in the first deviation movement direction of the first connecting rod 1 under the condition that the structures of the first driving groove 11 and the second driving groove 12 are relatively simple.
[0134] As shown in FIG. 7, at least one of the first driving groove 11 and the second driving groove 12 needs to be a curved groove, to meet the requirement for the movement trajectory of the first connecting rod 1.
[0135] Optionally, in the case that the first driving groove 11 and the second driving groove 12 are both curved grooves, the first driving groove 11 is oppositely arranged relative to the second driving groove 12.
[0136] When the first connecting rod 1 moves a preset displacement, the sliding amount of the first protruding column 31 in the first driving slot 11 and the sliding amount of the second protruding column 32 in the second driving slot 12 are different, the first driving slot 11 and the second driving slot 12 are oppositely arranged, so that the one with larger sliding amount mainly drives the movement of the first connecting rod 1, and the one with smaller sliding amount plays a role similar to a fulcrum or a rotation point.
[0137] As shown in FIG. 7, the first driving slot 11 and the second driving slot 12 are both arranged on the first connecting rod 1, the first driving slot 11 and the second driving slot 12 are oppositely arranged, the first driving slot 11 and the second driving slot 12 both extend along the width direction (b in FIG. 7) of the first connecting rod 1, and are sequentially arranged along the length direction (a in FIG. 7) of the first connecting rod 1. As shown in FIG. 11, the first protruding column 31 and the second protruding column 32 are sequentially arranged along the circumferential direction of the rotating member 3.
[0138] In this way, the cooperation of the first protruding column 31 and the first driving slot 11 and the cooperation of the second protruding column 32 and the second driving slot 12 can meet the requirements for the movement trajectory of the first connecting rod 1, and the volume occupied by the first driving slot 11 and the second driving slot 12 on the first connecting rod 1 is small, thereby reducing the size of the first connecting rod 1.
[0139] The extending directions of the first driving slot 11 and the second driving slot 12 are both not parallel to the length direction of the first connecting rod 1, wherein the first protruding column 31 slides along the extending direction of the first driving slot 11 relative to the first driving slot 11, and the second protruding column 32 slides along the extending direction of the second driving slot 12 relative to the second driving slot 12. In this way, the cooperation of the first protruding column 31 and the first driving slot 11 can drive the movement of the first connecting rod 1, and the cooperation of the second protruding column 32 and the second driving slot 12 can drive the movement of the first connecting rod 1.
[0140] Optionally, as shown in FIG. 7, when the first driving slot 11 and the second driving slot 12 are both curved slots, the first driving slot 11 includes a first sub-driving slot 111 and a second sub-driving slot 112, the second sub-driving slot 112 is in communication with the first sub-driving slot 111, and when the air deflector 1002 moves from the first position to the second position, the first protruding column 31 sequentially slides through the first sub-driving slot 111 and the second sub-driving slot 112; the length of the first sub-driving slot 111 is smaller than the length of the second sub-driving slot 112, and the curvature of the first sub-driving slot 111 is greater than the curvature of the second sub-driving slot 112.
[0141] The first sub driving slot 111 and the second sub driving slot 112 are both curved slots, and the bending degree of the first sub driving slot 111 is greater than that of the second sub driving slot 112, so that when the first convex column 31 is located in the first sub driving slot 111, the force acting on the first sub driving slot 111 is greater than the force acting on the second sub driving slot 112 when the first convex column 31 is located in the second sub driving slot 112, so as to start the opening process of the air deflector 1002, and change the speed of the air deflector 1002 from zero to greater than zero. Since the time of the opening process of the air deflector 1002 is relatively short, the length of the first sub driving slot 111 is less than that of the second sub driving slot 112.
[0142] The communication part of the first sub driving slot 111 and the second sub driving slot 112 adopts smooth transition.
[0143] Optionally, in the case that the first driving slot 11 and the second driving slot 12 are both curved slots, the second driving slot 12 comprises a third sub driving slot 121 and a fourth sub driving slot 122. The fourth sub driving slot 122 is in communication with the third sub driving slot 121, and during the process that the air deflector 1002 moves from the first position to the second position, the second convex column 32 slides through the third sub driving slot 121 and the fourth sub driving slot 122 in sequence; the length of the third sub driving slot 121 is less than that of the fourth sub driving slot 122, and the curvature of the third sub driving slot 121 is greater than that of the fourth sub driving slot 122.
[0144] The third sub driving slot 121 and the fourth sub driving slot 122 are both curved slots, and the bending degree of the third sub driving slot 121 is greater than that of the fourth sub driving slot 122, so that when the second convex column 32 is located in the third sub driving slot 121, the force acting on the third sub driving slot 121 is greater than the force acting on the fourth sub driving slot 122 when the second convex column 32 is located in the fourth sub driving slot 122, so as to start the opening process of the air deflector 1002, and change the speed of the air deflector 1002 from zero to greater than zero. Since the time of the opening process of the air deflector 1002 is relatively short, the length of the third sub driving slot 121 is less than that of the fourth sub driving slot 122.
[0145] Optionally, the plurality of first driving parts comprises a fourth sub driving part; the fourth sub driving part and one of the first driven parts comprise a fourth convex column 34, and the other one comprises a fourth driving slot 13.
[0146] The first slot structure further comprises a fourth driving slot 13; the first convex structure further comprises a fourth convex column 34, which is arranged in the fourth driving slot 13 and can slide relative to the fourth driving slot 13 during the process that the air deflector 1002 is opened from the first position to the second position; wherein the fourth driving slot 13 is a curved slot.
[0147] The fourth convex column 34 is matched with the fourth driving slot 13 in size.
[0148] In the process of moving the air deflector 1002 from the first position to the second position, the first protrusion 31 is at least partially in the first driving slot 11, the second protrusion 32 is always in the second driving slot 12, and the fourth protrusion 34 is always in the fourth driving slot 13, so that at least two protrusions are always matched with at least two driving slots at the same time, and the fourth driving slot 13 is a curved slot, thereby realizing that the first connecting rod 1 has both the partial movement of the first deviated movement direction and the partial movement of the first extended movement direction.
[0149] In the case where the fourth driving slot 13 and the first driving slot 11, the second driving slot 12 are located in the first connecting rod 1 or the rotating member 3, the fourth driving slot 13 intersects with the extension line of the first driving slot 11 and / or intersects with the extension line of the second driving slot 12.
[0150] Taking the first slot structure provided in the first connecting rod 1 as an example, the extension line of the first driving slot 11 and / or the second driving slot 12 intersects with the fourth driving slot 13, which can make full use of the space of the first connecting rod 1, avoid the size of the first connecting rod 1 being too large, and thereby reduce the size of the driving mechanism for the air deflector.
[0151] In the process of opening the air deflector 1002, the air deflector 1002 sequentially passes through the first position, the third position, and the second position. From the first position to the third position, as shown in FIG. 2, the first protrusion 31 is at least partially in the first driving slot 11 and can slide relative to the first driving slot 11, the second protrusion 32 is in the second driving slot 12 and can slide relative to the second driving slot 12, and the fourth protrusion 34 is in the fourth driving slot 13 and can move relative to the fourth driving slot 13.

[0152] In other words, from the first position to the second position, the second protrusion 32 is always matched with the second driving slot 12, the fourth protrusion 34 is always matched with the fourth driving slot 13, and the first protrusion 31 is first matched with the first driving slot 11 and then separated from the first driving slot 11, i.e., no longer matched, so as to ensure that at least two protrusions are always matched with two driving slots during the movement of the air deflector 1002 from the first position to the second position, and the first protrusion 31 is intermittently matched with the first driving slot 11, which can avoid the size of the first driving slot 11 being too large.
[0153] Optionally, in the case that the fourth driving slot 13 is located at the first connecting rod 1 together with the first driving slot 11 and the second driving slot 12, the first connecting rod 1 is provided with an avoiding gap 191, and the rotation axis of the rotating member 3 is arranged in the avoiding gap 191.
[0154] When the rotating member 3 rotates around the rotation axis thereof, the first connecting rod 1 is driven to move, and the avoiding gap 191 moves together with the first connecting rod 1, i.e. the avoiding gap 191 moves relative to the rotation axis of the rotating member 3, so that the first protruding structure on the rotating member 3 cooperates with different positions of the first slot structure.
[0155] As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the first driving slot 11 and the second driving slot 12 are located at one side of the avoiding gap 191, and the fourth driving slot 13 is arranged at the other side of the avoiding gap 191, so that when the rotating member 3 rotates, the intermittent cooperation between the first protruding column 31 and the first driving slot 11 can be achieved, and at least two protruding columns on the rotating member 3 can be respectively cooperated with two driving slots.

[0157] The fourth protruding column 34 is matched in size with the ninth driving slot 14.
[0158] When the air deflector 1002 is continuously opened from the second position, the fourth protruding column 34 slides from the fourth driving slot 13 into the ninth driving slot 14 and slides relative to the ninth driving slot 14, the first protruding column 31 is out of the first driving slot 11, and during the initial stage of continuous opening, the second protruding column 32 is still located in the second driving slot 12, and after the initial stage, the second protruding column 32 is also out of the second driving slot 12. The ninth driving slot 14 is a circular arc slot, and the center of the ninth driving slot 14 is the rotation center of the rotating member 3, so that when the air deflector 1002 is continuously opened from the second position, the rotating member 3 rotates, the fourth protruding column 34 rotates relative to the ninth driving slot 14 around the rotation center of the rotating member 3, and the first connecting rod 1 is stationary.
[0159] The curvature of the ninth driving slot 14 is greater than the curvature of the fourth driving slot 13.
[0160] The fourth driving slot 13 extends along the length direction of the first connecting rod 1. The first driving slot 11 and the fourth driving slot 13 are arranged in sequence along the width direction of the first connecting rod 1, and / or the second driving slot 12 and the fourth driving slot 13 are arranged in sequence along the width direction of the first connecting rod 1, so as to reduce the size of the first connecting rod 1 in the length direction.
[0161] As shown in FIG. 15, the driving mechanism for the air deflector further comprises an eleventh driving slot 16 arranged on the first connecting rod 1 or the rotating member 3 where the second driving slot 12 is located. The eleventh driving slot 16 is in communication with the second driving slot 12 and is adapted to the second protruding column 32. When the air deflector 1002 continues to open from the second position, the second protruding column 32 slides into the eleventh driving slot 16 from the second driving slot 12 and can slide relative to the eleventh driving slot 16 until the air deflector 1002 moves to the seventh position.
[0162] The eleventh driving slot 16 is a circular arc slot, and the center of the circle where the eleventh driving slot 16 is located during the movement of the air deflector 1002 from the second position to the fourth position is the rotation center of the rotating member 3. Thus, when the air deflector 1002 moves from the second position to the seventh position, the sliding of the second protruding column 32 relative to the eleventh driving slot 16 does not drive the first connecting rod 1 to move, but also makes the position of the first connecting rod 1 more stable, and does not hinder the rotation of the rotating member 3, i.e., does not affect the rotating member 3 to continue to drive the second connecting rod 2 to move.
[0163] When the air deflector 1002 continues to move from the seventh position to the fourth position, the second protruding column 32 is out of the eleventh driving slot 16, so as to avoid the size of the eleventh driving slot 16 being too large due to the second protruding column 32 always cooperating with the eleventh driving slot 16. During the opening of the air deflector 1002, the air deflector 1002 sequentially passes through the second position, the seventh position and the fourth position.
[0164] When the eleventh driving slot 16 and the fourth driving slot 13 are arranged on the first connecting rod 1 or the rotating member 3, the fourth driving slot 13 is provided with a through gap 131 through which the second protruding column 32 passes. When the second protruding column 32 slides out of the eleventh driving slot 16, the second protruding column 32 passes out of the through gap 131 with the continuous rotation of the rotating member 3. When the first protruding column 31 slides out of the first driving slot 11, the first protruding column 31 passes out of the through gap 131 with the continuous rotation of the rotating member 3.
[0165] When the eleventh driving slot 16 and the ninth driving slot 14 are arranged on the first connecting rod 1 or the rotating member 3, the eleventh driving slot 16 and the ninth driving slot 14 are concentric circles during the movement of the air deflector 1002 from the second position to the fourth position, and the centers of the concentric circles are the rotation center of the rotating member 3.
[0166] The eleventh driving slot 16 and the fourth driving slot 13 are arranged on the first connecting rod 1 or the rotating member 3, and the extension line of the eleventh driving slot 16 intersects with the fourth driving slot 13, so as to reduce the size of the first connecting rod 1 or the rotating member 3 where the eleventh driving slot 16 and the fourth driving slot 13 are arranged.
[0167] In the process that the air deflector 1002 moves from the second position to the fourth position, the ninth driving slot 14 and the eleventh driving slot 16 are arranged on opposite sides of the rotation center of the rotating member 3. On the one hand, compared with being arranged on the same side of the rotation center, being arranged on opposite sides can make the structure of the first connecting rod 1 or the rotating member 3 where the ninth driving slot 14 and the eleventh driving slot 16 are arranged more compact, and the ninth driving slot 14 and the eleventh driving slot 16 are sequentially arranged along the length direction of the first connecting rod 1.
[0168] The seventh position is a position between the second position and the embracing air supply position.
[0169] As shown in FIG. 17, the driving mechanism for the air deflector of the air conditioner further comprises a tenth protruding column 36, which is arranged on the first connecting rod 1 or the rotating member 3 where the fourth protruding column 34 is arranged. In the process that the air deflector 1002 moves from the first position to the second position, the tenth protruding column 36 is arranged outside the ninth driving slot 14, and in the process that the air deflector 1002 moves from the second position to the fourth position, the tenth protruding column 36 is arranged inside the ninth driving slot 14 and can slide relative to the ninth driving slot 14.
[0170] The tenth protruding column 36 is matched with the ninth driving slot 14, and the distance between the tenth protruding column 36 and the rotation center of the rotating member 3 is equal to the distance between the fourth protruding column 34 and the rotation center of the rotating member 3. Taking the case that the tenth protruding column 36 and the fourth protruding column 34 are arranged on the rotating member 3 as an example, the tenth protruding column 36 and the fourth protruding column 34 are sequentially arranged along the circumferential direction of the rotating member 3.
[0171] When the air deflector 1002 is not opened to the second position, the tenth protruding column 36 is located in the avoiding gap 191, and the fourth driving slot 13 is provided with a through port 132. When the air deflector 1002 is opened to the second position, the tenth protruding column 36 enters the ninth driving slot 14 through the through port 132.

And the third driving groove 21 is a straight groove, and the fifth driving groove 23 is a curved groove, so as to realize the movement of the second connecting rod 2 along a straight trajectory during the process that the air deflector 1002 is opened from the first position to the second position.
[0178] Optionally, in the case that the third driving groove 21 and the fifth driving groove 23 are both arranged in the second connecting rod 2, the third driving groove 21 and the fifth driving groove 23 are both not parallel to the length direction of the second connecting rod 2, so that when the third protruding column 33 cooperates with the third driving groove 21, the third protruding column 33 can exert a force on the third driving groove 21 to drive the second connecting rod 2 to move, and when the fifth protruding column 35 cooperates with the fifth driving groove 23, the fifth protruding column 35 can exert a force on the fifth driving groove 23 to drive the second connecting rod 2 to move.
[0179] The extension line of the third driving groove 21 intersects with the fifth driving groove 23, on the one hand to meet the requirement for the movement trajectory of the second connecting rod 2, and on the other hand to reduce the volume occupied by the third driving groove 21 and the fifth driving groove 23.

The height of the fourth protruding column is consistent with the depth of the ninth driving slot, and the height of the tenth protruding column is consistent with the depth of the clearance slot. As shown in FIGS. 41 and 46, the height of the fourth protruding column is greater than the height of the tenth protruding column, and the depth of the ninth driving slot is greater than the depth of the clearance slot. During the opening process of the air deflector, the fourth protruding column enters the ninth driving slot through the opening end of the ninth driving slot, and the fourth protruding column enters the ninth driving slot through the clearance slot. The provision of the clearance slot can expand the size of the opening end of the ninth driving slot, so that the tenth protruding column can smoothly enter the ninth driving slot, avoiding collision with the ninth driving slot.
[0358] The ninth driving slot 14 intersects with the second driving slot 12, so that when the second protruding column slides into the intersection of the second driving slot and the ninth driving slot (position H in FIG. 41), the second protruding column can pass through the ninth driving slot and then slide into the second driving slot. Since the depth of the ninth driving slot 14 is greater than the depth of the second driving slot 12, the second protruding column is not adapted to the ninth driving slot. Therefore, when the second protruding column passes through the ninth driving slot, there is no or little force between the second protruding column and the ninth driving slot, which does not affect the movement trajectory of the first connecting rod. During the opening process of the air deflector, the movement trajectory of the second protruding column is shown by the arrow in FIG. 41.
[0359] At least two first columnar structures in the plurality of first columnar structures cooperate with the same first slot-shaped structure, and the distances from the at least two first columnar structures to the rotation center of the rotating member are not equal. For example, the at least two first columnar structures are the fourth protruding column and the tenth protruding column, the same first slot-shaped structure is the ninth driving slot, the opening end of the ninth driving slot is provided with a clearance slot, and the distances from the fourth protruding column and the ninth protruding column to the rotation center of the rotating member are not equal.
[0360] Embodiment Four:
[0361] On the basis of the embodiment one, the embodiment two or the embodiment three, as shown in FIG. 42, the connecting part of the first connecting rod 1 is rotationally connected with the air deflector 1002 through a first rotation shaft; the second connecting rod 2 is rotationally connected with the air deflector 1002 through a second rotation shaft; and the rotating member 3 is drivingly connected with the first connecting rod 1 and the second connecting rod 2 to drive the air deflector 1002 to open and close. During the process that the air deflector 1002 is opened from the first position to the second position, the movement of the rotationally connected part of the second connecting rod 2 with the air deflector 1002 includes a straight line movement (direction N in FIG. 28).
[0362] The component is rotationally connected with the air deflector 1002. The rotational connection between the component and the air deflector 1002 is defined as follows: a first shaft hole is arranged on the component, a first rotation shaft is fixedly arranged on the air deflector 1002, located in the first shaft hole and capable of rotating relative to the first shaft hole, so that the air deflector 1002 is rotationally connected with the component, and the rotational connection between the component and the air deflector 1002 is at the first shaft hole; or a first shaft hole is arranged on the air deflector 1002, a first rotation shaft is fixedly arranged on the component, located in the first shaft hole and capable of rotating relative to the first shaft hole, so that the air deflector 1002 is rotationally connected with the component, and the rotational connection between the component and the air deflector 1002 is at the first rotation shaft; or the component is provided with a first shaft hole, the air deflector 1002 is provided with a second shaft hole, and a first rotation shaft passes through the first shaft hole and the second shaft hole, so that the air deflector 1002 is rotationally connected with the component, and the rotational connection between the component and the air deflector 1002 is at the first shaft hole.
[0363] In the process that the air deflector 1002 is opened from the first position to the second position, the movement of the rotational connection Y between the second connecting rod 2 and the air deflector 1002 includes a straight line movement, as shown at E in FIGS. 42 and 43. Under the condition that the rotating member 3 rotates by the same angle, the displacement of the second connecting rod 2 is larger, so that the movement speed of the air deflector 1002 is faster, and the response speed to the user's instruction is faster.
[0364] The air deflector 1002 passes through a third position in the process of being opened from the first position to the second position. The air outlet direction of the air conditioner indoor unit 100 at the second position is different from the air outlet direction of the indoor unit 100 at the third position, that is, in the process of being opened from the first position to the second position, the air deflector 1002 not only extends along the air outlet direction of the air outlet, but also rotates, so that the air outlet direction of the air outlet changes.
[0365] Optionally, in the process that the air deflector 1002 is opened from the first position to the second position, the rotational connection between the second connecting rod 2 and the air deflector 1002 moves along a first straight line direction (such as the direction of N in FIG. 28, and the direction of E in FIGS. 42 and 43), which can not only improve the movement speed of the air deflector 1002, but also simplify the design process of the driving mechanism for the air deflector of the air conditioner.
[0366] Optionally, in the process that the air deflector 1002 is opened from the first position to the second position, the movement trajectory of the rotational connection R (i.e., the connecting portion) between the first connecting rod 1 and the air deflector 1002 includes a straight line segment trajectory and / or a curve segment trajectory, in other words, at least one of the straight line segment trajectory and the curve segment trajectory.
[0367] When the movement track of the rotating connection between the first connecting rod 1 and the air deflector 1002 comprises a straight line segment track, it can be a straight line (L in FIG. 43) or a broken line formed by connecting multiple straight lines; when the movement track of the rotating connection between the first connecting rod 1 and the air deflector 1002 comprises a curve segment track, the radii of curvature of at least two points on the curve segment track are the same or different.
[0368] Optionally, during the process that the air deflector 1002 is opened from the first position to the second position, the rotating connection between the first connecting rod 1 and the air deflector 1002 moves along a second straight line direction (L in FIG. 43) in a straight line manner, which can improve the movement speed of the air deflector 1002; wherein the first straight line direction and the second straight line direction intersect, so that the air deflector 1002 can rotate and move from the first position to the second position.
[0369] Optionally, during the process that the air deflector 1002 is opened from the first position to the second position, the rotating connection between the first connecting rod 1 and the air deflector 1002 moves in a straight line manner along a second straight line direction and moves in a curve manner along a curve direction in sequence, which can not only meet the requirements of the air deflection position of the air deflector 1002, but also simplify the design of the driving mechanism for the air deflector of the air conditioner.
[0370] The included angle between the first straight line direction and the second straight line direction is less than or equal to 30°, and the included angle between the first straight line direction and the second straight line direction is small, for example, 0°, 5°, 10°, 15°, 20°, 25° or 30°, which can make the movement track of the rotating connection between the first connecting rod 1 and the air deflector 1002 and the movement track of the rotating connection between the second connecting rod 2 and the air deflector 1002 be parallel or approximately parallel when the air deflector 1002 is opened from the first position, so that the air deflector 1002 can be extended in a straight line or slightly with a small rotation when it starts to move from the first position, avoiding the interference between the air deflector 1002 and the shell 1001 when the air deflector 1002 rotates.
[0371] Optionally, during the process that the air deflector 1002 is opened from the first position to the second position, the rotating connection between the first connecting rod 1 and the air deflector 1002 moves in a straight line manner along a second straight line direction (O in FIG. 42), moves in a curve manner along a curve direction (P in FIG. 42), and moves in a straight line manner along a third straight line direction (Q in FIG. 42) in sequence, which can not only meet the requirements of the air deflection position of the air deflector 1002, but also simplify the design of the driving mechanism for the air deflector of the air conditioner.
[0372] Optionally, the first straight line direction and the third straight line direction intersect and the included angle between them is greater than the included angle between the first straight line direction and the second straight line direction.
[0373] In the initial stage of opening of the air deflector 1002 from the first position, the rotation connection of the first connecting rod 1 with the air deflector 1002 first moves along the second straight line direction and then moves along the third straight line direction. In the initial stage of opening of the air deflector 1002 from the first position, the air deflector 1002 is relatively close to the shell 1001, so the air deflector 1002 needs to be first extended and then rotated or extended and rotated at a small angle. The rotation needs to be controlled at a small angle, so the included angle between the first straight line direction and the second straight line direction is small. With the opening of the air deflector 1002, the distance between the air deflector 1002 and the shell 1001 increases, and the air deflector 1002 can rotate at a large angle to reach the target air deflection position as soon as possible, so the included angle between the first straight line direction and the third straight line direction is large.
[0374] The curve direction is on the same side of the first straight line direction as the third straight line direction, so that the first connecting rod 1 and the second connecting rod 2 move smoothly and avoid jamming during movement.
[0375] Optionally, in the process of opening of the air deflector 1002 from the first position to the second position, the distance between the movement track of the rotation connection of the first connecting rod 1 with the air deflector 1002 and the movement track of the rotation connection of the second connecting rod 2 with the air deflector 1002 increases with the opening of the air deflector 1002.
[0376] In the initial stage of opening of the air deflector 1002 from the first position, the distance between the movement track of the rotation connection of the first connecting rod 1 with the air deflector 1002 and the movement track of the rotation connection of the second connecting rod 2 with the air deflector 1002 is small, which can avoid large-angle rotation of the air deflector 1002 and interference between the air deflector 1002 and the shell 1001. With further opening of the air deflector 1002, the distance between the movement track of the rotation connection of the first connecting rod 1 with the air deflector 1002 and the movement track of the rotation connection of the second connecting rod 2 with the air deflector 1002 gradually increases, which can make the air deflector 1002 quickly flip to reach the target air deflection position as soon as possible.
[0377] Optionally, the first position is a closed position in which the air deflector 1002 closes the air outlet, and the second position is a maximum air supply position.
[0378] Optionally, the driving mechanism for the air deflector of the air conditioner further comprises a guide member fixed to the shell 1001.
[0379] The connecting rod is provided with a guide portion, and the guide member is provided with a guide matching portion matched with the guide portion to guide the movement of the first connecting rod 1 and / or the second connecting rod 2. The guide portion includes a first guide portion 19 provided on the first connecting rod 1 and a second guide portion 28 provided on the second connecting rod 2, and the guide matching portion includes a first guide matching portion 512 and a second guide matching portion 521.
[0380] The guide member is provided with a first guide matching part 512; the first connecting rod 1 comprises a first rod body 18, the rotating member 3 is drivingly connected with the first rod body 18, the first rod body 18 is provided with a first guide part 19, the first guide part 19 matches with the first guide matching part 512 to guide the movement track of the first connecting rod 1; during the process that the air deflector 1002 is opened from the first position to the second position, the movement track of the first guide part 19 is a curve track to cooperate with the second connecting rod 2 to realize the movement of the air deflector 1002 between the first position and the second position.
[0381] One of the guide part and the guide matching part comprises a guide column, and the other comprises a guide groove. During the opening process of the air deflector (during the process that the air deflector is moved from the first position to the fourth position), the rotating member rotates in a set direction to drive the connecting rod assembly to move, the guide column is located in the guide groove and moves unidirectionally along the length direction of the guide groove without reverse movement. During the whole closing process of the air deflector, the guide column moves unidirectionally along the length direction of the guide groove in the reverse direction.
[0382] In this way, during the opening process of the air deflector, the motor rotates unidirectionally to drive the guide column to move unidirectionally along the length direction of the guide groove, and the unidirectional rotation of the motor can simplify the control logic of the motor; during the closing process of the air deflector, the motor reversely rotates to drive the guide column to reversely move unidirectionally along the length direction of the guide groove.
[0383] The number of the guide matching parts is at least two, and the number of the guide parts is not less than the number of the guide matching parts. That is, the number of the guide parts and the guide matching parts is at least two. The number of the guide grooves is at least two, and at least one guide column is arranged in one guide groove.
[0384] The number of the guide columns is greater than two, and the connecting lines of three guide columns among the plurality of guide columns form a triangle. And / or, the number of the guide grooves is greater than two, and the connecting lines of the middle parts of the length directions of three guide grooves among the plurality of guide grooves form a triangle.
[0385] The connecting lines of the three guide columns and / or the middle parts of the length directions of the three guide grooves form a triangle, which can define a plane instead of being located on the same straight line, so as to guide the connecting rod to move in the plane.
[0386] The guide member comprises a mechanism box 5, a box cover 51, a first connecting rod 1, a second connecting rod 2 and a box body 52 arranged in sequence. As shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 6, a first guide matching part 512 is arranged on the surface of the box cover 51 facing the first connecting rod 1. One of the first guide part 19 and the first guide matching part 512 is a first guide column, and the other is a first guide groove. The first guide column is located in the first guide groove and slides relative to the first guide groove. The first guide column and the first guide groove are matched. The shape of the first guide groove is the same as the movement track of the first connecting rod 1 at the position where the first guide groove or the first guide column matched with the first guide groove is located, so as to guide and further limit the movement track of the first connecting rod 1 through the matching of the first guide column and the first guide groove.
[0387] The guide column comprises a first guide column, and the guide groove comprises a first guide groove. During the opening process of the air deflector, the first guide column is located in the first guide groove and moves unidirectionally relative to the first guide groove along the length direction of the first guide groove, which can simplify the movement track of the first connecting rod, thereby simplifying the structure of the driving mechanism of the air deflector of the air conditioner.
[0388] The first connecting rod 1 is taken by a first plane to obtain a longitudinal section of the first connecting rod 1, and the movement tracks at different positions on the longitudinal section are different, wherein the first plane is perpendicular to the thickness direction of the first connecting rod 1 and is a plane in which the length direction and the width direction of the first connecting rod 1 are located.
[0389] The number of the first guide matching parts is at least two, the number of the first guide parts is not less than the number of the first guide matching parts, and when the number of the first guide parts and the number of the first guide matching parts are both greater than two, the connecting line of the plurality of first guide parts 19 does not lie on the same straight line but forms a triangle, the connecting line of the three first guide matching parts in the plurality of first guide matching parts does not lie on the same straight line but forms a triangle, that is, the connecting line of the three first guide columns in the plurality of first guide columns forms a triangle, and the connecting line of the middle portions of the length directions of the three first guide grooves in the plurality of first guide grooves forms a triangle. In this way, the plurality of first guide parts 19 can collectively guide the planar movement of the first connecting rod 1, so that the first rod body edge extends out of the air outlet edge and rotates in the plane of the first connecting rod during the opening process of the air deflector, and the rotation center during the rotation process is not fixed.
[0390] The guide member is provided with a second guide matching part 521; the second connecting rod is provided with a second guide part 28, which matches with the second guide matching part 521 to guide the movement track of the second connecting rod 2.
[0391] The second guiding matching part 521 is arranged on the surface of the box body 52 facing the second connecting rod 2. One of the second guiding part 28 and the second guiding matching part 521 is a second guiding column, and the other is a second guiding groove. The second guiding column is located in the second guiding groove and slides relative to the second guiding groove. The second guiding column and the second guiding groove are matched. The shape of the second guiding groove is the same as the movement track of the second connecting rod 2, so as to guide and further limit the movement track of the second connecting rod 2 through the cooperation of the second guiding column and the second guiding groove. The guiding column includes the second guiding column, and the guiding groove includes the second guiding groove.
[0392] During the opening process of the air deflector, the second guiding column is located in the second guiding groove and moves unidirectionally along the length direction of the second guiding groove relative to the second guiding groove.
[0393] The second guiding groove includes a straight guiding segment and a curved guiding segment connected with each other. During the opening process of the air deflector, the second guiding column sequentially slides through the straight guiding segment and the curved guiding segment, and is unidirectionally moved in the straight guiding segment and the curved guiding segment.
[0394] The movement track of each part of the second connecting rod is the same, which is a translational movement. The shape of the second guiding groove is the same as the movement track of the second connecting rod 2. Therefore, the straight guiding segment is a straight track N, and the curved guiding segment is a circular arc track M.
[0395] The second connecting rod 2 is taken by a second plane to obtain a longitudinal section of the second connecting rod 2. The movement track of each part of the longitudinal section is the same. The second plane is perpendicular to the thickness direction of the second connecting rod 2, and is a plane in which the length direction and the width direction of the second connecting rod 2 are located.
[0396] The number of the second guiding matching parts is at least two, and the number of the second guiding parts is not less than the number of the second guiding matching parts.
[0397] When the number of the second guiding parts 28 and the number of the second guiding matching parts are both greater than two, the connecting line of the plurality of second guiding parts 28 is not located on the same straight line, and the connecting line of the plurality of second guiding matching parts is not located on the same straight line. For example, the connecting line of three second guiding parts in the plurality of second guiding parts forms a triangle; the connecting line of three second guiding matching parts in the plurality of second guiding matching parts forms a triangle, that is, the connecting line of the middle part of the length direction of three second guiding grooves in the plurality of second guiding grooves forms a triangle, and the connecting line of three second guiding columns in the plurality of second guiding columns forms a triangle. In this way, the plurality of second guiding parts 28 can collectively guide the second connecting rod 2 to do planar movement in the process that the air deflector moves from the second position to the fourth position. When the air deflector moves from the first position to the second position, the second connecting rod moves linearly.
[0398] In the first embodiment, the number of the first guide columns, the first guide grooves, the second guide columns and the second guide grooves is two. In the second embodiment, the number of the first guide columns, the first guide grooves, the second guide columns and the second guide grooves is three.
[0399] Optionally, during the opening of the air deflector, the movement trajectory of the first rod body is a first curve segment trajectory, and the shape of the first guide groove is the same as the movement trajectory of the first connecting rod 1 at the position of the first guide groove or the first guide column matched with the first guide groove. Therefore, the first guide groove is a curve guide groove.
[0400] The first curve segment trajectory 513 includes a first sub-curve segment trajectory 514 and a second sub-curve segment trajectory 515 connected in sequence along the length direction of the first connecting rod 1. The connection between the first sub-curve segment trajectory 514 and the second sub-curve segment trajectory 515 forms an angle W.
[0401] The curve guide groove includes a first sub-curve guide groove and a second sub-curve guide groove arranged in sequence along the length direction of the first connecting rod, and the connection between the first sub-curve guide groove and the second sub-curve guide groove forms an angle. The first sub-curve guide groove is the first sub-curve segment trajectory 514, and the second sub-curve guide groove is the second sub-curve segment trajectory 515.
[0402] During the opening of the air deflector, the first guide column slides through the first sub-curve guide groove and the second sub-curve guide groove in sequence, and is a unidirectional movement in the first sub-curve guide groove and the second sub-curve guide groove.
[0403] During the opening of the air deflector, the first guide column moves relative to the first sub-curve guide groove from one end of the first sub-curve guide groove away from the second sub-curve guide groove, moves unidirectionally along the first sub-curve guide groove to the angle W, enters the second sub-curve guide groove, and moves unidirectionally along the second sub-curve guide groove away from the angle, until reaching one end of the second sub-curve guide groove away from the angle.
[0404] Optionally, during the opening of the air deflector 1002 from the second position to the fourth position, the movement trajectory of the second connecting rod 2 at the rotating connection with the air deflector 1002 is an arc trajectory, such as the arc trajectory M in FIG. 28, the arc trajectory F in FIGS. 42 and 43, and the arc trajectory can simplify the design of the driving mechanism for the air deflector of the air conditioner.
[0405] In the closed position, the first guide post is located at one end of the first sub-curved segment trajectory 514 away from the second sub-curved segment trajectory 515, and the second guide post is located at one end of the linear portion of the second guide groove away from the circular arc-shaped portion. As the air deflector 1002 is opened, the first guide post moves along the first sub-curved segment trajectory 514 towards the second sub-curved segment trajectory 515, and the second guide post moves along the linear portion and towards the circular arc-shaped portion. In the cooling flat-blowing position, the first guide post reaches the corner, and then the first guide post enters the second sub-curved segment trajectory 515 and moves away from the first sub-curved segment trajectory 514. In the maximum air supply position, the first guide post enters one end of the second sub-curved segment trajectory 515 away from the first sub-curved segment trajectory 514 and remains stationary, and the second guide post enters the connection between the linear portion and the circular arc-shaped portion, and then the second guide post moves along the circular arc-shaped portion until the heating lower-blowing position.
[0406] Optionally, during the opening of the air deflector 1002 from the second position to the fourth position, the first connecting rod 1 is stationary, and the second connecting rod 2 rotates about the axis of the first rotation axis at the rotation connection with the air deflector 1002.
[0407] Thus, during the opening of the air deflector 1002 from the second position to the fourth position, the rotating member 3 does not need to drive the first connecting rod 1 to move, thereby simplifying the structure of the driving mechanism for the air deflector of the air conditioner, and the second connecting rod 2 rotates about the axis of the first rotation axis at the rotation connection with the air deflector 1002, drives the air deflector 1002 to flip, thereby meeting the requirements for the air deflection position of the air deflector 1002.
[0408] Optionally, the center of the circular arc-shaped trajectory M and the linear motion trajectory in the first linear direction are located on the same side of the circular arc-shaped trajectory M, so that the second connecting rod 2 rotates along the circular arc-shaped trajectory M after extending in the first linear direction.
[0409] The circumference of the circular arc-shaped trajectory M is smaller than the length of the linear motion trajectory in the first linear direction.
[0410] The application also provides an air conditioner comprising an indoor unit 100, the indoor unit 100 comprising an air deflector 1002 and the driving mechanism for the air deflector of the air conditioner according to any one of the above embodiments, and the first connecting rod 1 and the second connecting rod 2 are rotationally connected with the air deflector 1002.
[0411] The driving mechanism for the air deflector of the air conditioner and the air conditioner provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure can achieve the following technical effects:
[0412] During the process that the deflector is opened from the first position to the second position, the rotation speeds of the at least two points on the first rod body are different, so that the first connecting rod will rotate during the movement, that is, not only the stretching movement of stretching out of the air outlet, so that the situation that the deflector is stuck when the speeds of the first connecting rod and the second connecting rod are inconsistent will not occur, so that the crank in the related technology is not needed to be set, and the structure of the driving mechanism is simplified.
[0413] The above description and drawings suffice to fully illustrate the embodiments of the present disclosure to enable a person skilled in the art to practice them.
