[0053] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "linking," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection, an electrical connection, or a connection that allows communication between components; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components, unless otherwise expressly limited. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0054] The driving component 500 according to an embodiment of the present application is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0055] As shown in Figures 1, 2 and 3, the drive component 500 according to an embodiment of this application includes a drive bracket 71, a door opening and closing drive component 72 and a louver drive component 73.

[0056] Specifically, as shown in Figures 1-3 and in conjunction with Figures 11-14, the drive component 500 is used for the air outlet structure 1001. The air outlet structure 1001 can be installed on the air conditioner 1000 to realize the air supply function of the air conditioner 1000. The air conditioner 1000 can be a floor-standing or cabinet-type air conditioner 1000. The air outlet structure 1001 includes an air outlet frame 20, an air guide grille 200, a door 300, and a louver assembly 10. The air outlet frame 20 has an air outlet duct 201 and an air outlet 202 communicating with the air outlet duct 201. The air outlet 202 extends along the length of the air outlet frame 20. The air conditioner 1000 includes a housing 1005. The air outlet frame 20 is connected to the housing 1005. The housing 1005 is cylindrical to form the overall appearance of the air conditioner 1000. The housing 1005 is provided with an air inlet 1006 that communicates with the air outlet duct 201, allowing airflow to enter the air conditioner 1000 through the air inlet 1006 for heat exchange, and then be blown out of the air conditioner 1000 through the air outlet 202 after passing through the air outlet duct 201, thereby realizing the air supply function of the air conditioner 1000. The air outlet frame 20 and the housing 1005 are vertically arranged, meaning the air outlet 202 extends in the vertical direction (refer to the vertical direction shown in Figure 14), thereby expanding the air outlet range of the air conditioner 1000 in the vertical direction and ensuring the air supply effect of the air conditioner 1000.

[0057] The air guide grille 200 is rotatably mounted at the air outlet 202. The drive component 500 is located on one side of the length direction of the air outlet 202. The drive bracket 71 is connected to the air outlet frame 20. The air guide grille 200 is rotatably connected to the drive bracket 71, which is used to adjust the air delivery direction in the width direction of the air outlet 202. By rotatably connecting the air guide grille 200 to the drive bracket 71, the air guide grille 200 can be connected to the air outlet frame 20. While supporting and fixing the air guide grille 200, it is allowed to rotate around its rotation axis. This ensures the structural stability of the air outlet structure 1001 and enables the air outlet structure 1001 to deliver air at different angles in the width direction of the air outlet 202.

[0058] Specifically, the air guide grille 200 and its rotation axis extend along the length of the air outlet 202. Thus, the grille body 41 can rotate around the rotation axis extending vertically. When airflow flows into the air outlet duct 201 and passes through the air guide grille 200, the air guide grille 200 can guide the airflow and change its direction in the width direction of the air outlet 202. This allows the air conditioner 1000 to deliver air at different angles in the left-right direction, as shown in Figure 13, to meet the user's air supply needs. It can also increase the air supply angle and range in the width direction of the air outlet 202, achieving wide-angle air supply in the air outlet structure 1001, thereby improving the air supply effect of the air outlet structure 1001 and enhancing user comfort and experience.

[0059] In some embodiments, the switch door 300 is rotatably disposed at the air outlet 202. The switch door drive member 72 is connected to the drive bracket 71 and is used to drive the switch door 300 to rotate to open or close the air outlet 202. The drive bracket 71 is connected to the air outlet frame 20 and the switch door drive member 72 respectively. The switch door 300 can be connected to the output shaft of the switch door drive member 72, so that the switch door 300 is connected to the air outlet frame 20, allowing the switch door 300 to rotate around its rotation axis while supporting and fixing the switch door 300. When the air conditioner 1000 is supplying air, the switch door 300 can be rotated to the position where the air outlet 202 is open to ensure airflow and reduce air volume loss; when the air conditioner 1000 is turned off, the switch door 300 can be rotated to the position where the air outlet 202 is closed, which can play a dust prevention role to ensure the cleanliness of the inside of the air conditioner 1000. It should be noted that when the door 300 closes the air outlet 202, the air guide grille 200 is located inside the door 300, which can ensure the aesthetic appearance of the air conditioner 1000.

[0060] Furthermore, the louver assembly 10 is disposed within the air outlet duct 201, and the louver drive component 73 is connected to the drive bracket 71 to drive the louver assembly 10 to adjust the air supply direction along the length of the air outlet 202. The drive bracket 71 is connected to both the air outlet frame 20 and the louver drive component 73. The louver assembly 10 can be connected to the output shaft of the louver drive component 73, thus connecting the louver assembly 10 to the air outlet frame 20. While supporting and fixing the louver assembly 10, it also guides the airflow and changes the air supply direction along the length of the air outlet 202. This allows the air conditioner 1000 to supply air at different angles in the vertical direction to meet the user's air supply needs. It can also increase the air supply angle and range along the length of the air outlet 202, achieving wide-angle air supply in the air outlet structure 1001, thereby improving the air supply effect of the air outlet structure 1001 and enhancing the user's comfort and experience.

[0061] In this application, a structure allowing the air guide grille 200 to rotate is provided on the drive bracket 71. Simultaneously, the door opening / closing drive component 72 and the louver drive component 73 are connected to the drive bracket 71. This allows the components that drive the door opening / closing 300 and the louver assembly 10, as well as the components that cooperate with the air guide grille 200, to be integrated onto the drive component 500. This effectively improves the integration of the drive component 500, reduces the number of parts used to drive or cooperate with the movement of different moving parts of the air outlet structure 1001, thereby reducing the installation difficulty of the drive component 500 and simplifying the assembly process. This improves the assembly efficiency and production efficiency of the air outlet structure 1001, thus helping to reduce production costs. It also helps to reduce the space occupied by the drive component 500, improves the space utilization of the air outlet duct 201 and the air outlet 202, and thus helps to reduce the volume occupied by the air outlet structure 1001.

[0062] According to the embodiment of this application, the drive component 500 is rotatably connected to the air guide grille 200 via a drive bracket 71 connected to the air outlet frame 20, and a door opening / closing drive component 72 and a louver drive component 73 are connected to the drive bracket 71. The rotatable air guide grille 200 is used to adjust the air supply direction in the width direction of the air outlet 202, the door opening / closing drive component 72 is used to drive the door opening / closing 300 to rotate to open or close the air outlet 202, and the louver drive component 73 is used to drive the louver assembly 10 to adjust the air supply direction in the length direction of the air outlet 202. Thus, the components that drive the door opening / closing 300 and the louver assembly 10, as well as the components that cooperate with the air guide grille 200, can all be integrated into the drive component 500. This can effectively improve the integration of the drive component 500 and reduce the number of parts, making installation easier and simplifying the assembly process of the drive component 500. This is beneficial to improving the production and assembly efficiency of the air outlet structure 1001 and reducing costs. At the same time, it can reduce the space occupied by the drive component 500, thereby improving the space utilization of the air outlet structure 1001 and reducing the volume occupied by the air outlet structure 1001.

[0063] In some embodiments of this application, as shown in Figures 1-6, the drive bracket 71 includes a bracket body 711, a motor hole 7111 is provided on the bracket body 7111, a door opening and closing drive component 72 is connected to the bracket body 711, and the output shaft of the door opening and closing drive component 72 passes through the motor hole 7111 and is connected to the door opening and closing 300.

[0064] Understandably, the output shaft of the door opening / closing drive 72 is connected to the door opening / closing mechanism 300 to provide driving force for the rotation of the door opening / closing mechanism 300. This enables the door opening / closing mechanism 300 to automatically open and close the air outlet 202, facilitating user operation and meeting user needs. Simultaneously, the bracket body 711 is connected to the door opening / closing drive 72, thus connecting the door opening / closing mechanism 300 to the bracket body 711, providing fixation and support for the door opening / closing mechanism 300. The bracket body 711 is positioned perpendicular to the length direction of the air outlet 202, and the motor hole 7111 penetrates the bracket body 711 along its thickness direction, allowing the output shaft of the door opening / closing drive 72 to extend along the length direction of the air outlet 202. This ensures that the door opening / closing mechanism 300 rotates around a rotation axis extending along the length direction of the air outlet 202, thereby guaranteeing the effective opening or closing of the air outlet 202.

[0065] In some embodiments of this application, as shown in Figures 1-6, the door opening / closing drive component 72 includes a drive motor 721 and an anti-electric shaft 722. The drive motor 721 is connected to the bracket body 711, and the anti-electric shaft 722 passes through the motor hole 7111 and is sleeved on the output shaft of the drive motor 721. The anti-electric shaft 722 is connected to the door opening / closing 300. The drive motor 721 is located on one side of the bracket body 711 along the length of the air outlet 202, as shown in the examples in Figures 2-4. The drive motor 721 is located below the bracket body 711 and is fixedly connected to the bracket body 711, which can ensure the connection stability between the door opening / closing drive component 72 and the drive bracket 71.

[0066] The output shaft of the drive motor 721 extends along the length of the air outlet 202 and passes through the motor hole 7111. By setting an anti-electric shaft 722 and sleeved on the output shaft of the drive motor 721, it is easy to connect the switch door 300 to the switch door drive component 72. The switch door 300 can be connected to the side of the anti-electric shaft 722 located on the bracket body 711 opposite to the drive motor 721. The structure is reasonably designed, which can reduce the assembly difficulty and thus improve the assembly efficiency and production efficiency of the drive component 500. At the same time, the anti-electric shaft 722 can also serve as an extension of the output shaft of the drive motor 721 and play a transmission role, transmitting the torque output by the drive motor 721 to the switch door 300, thereby driving the switch door 300 to rotate, so as to ensure the stability of the switch door 300 in opening or closing the air outlet 202.

[0067] In some embodiments, the anti-electric shaft 722 is made of an insulating material, which can solve the problems of static electricity on the output shaft of the drive motor 721 and damage to components such as the door 300 caused by a sudden increase in the power of the drive motor 721. This can effectively improve the stability and reliability of the door opening and closing drive component 72 and extend its service life.

[0068] In some embodiments of this application, as shown in Figures 1-6, the switch door 300 includes a door body 51 and a pivot arm 52. The pivot arm 52 is located on one side of the door body 51 in the thickness direction and is connected to the anti-electric shaft 722. By setting the pivot arm 52, the connection between the switch door 300 and the anti-electric shaft 722 can be facilitated, reducing assembly difficulty and thus improving the assembly efficiency and production efficiency of the drive component 500. The pivot arm 52 is located on the side of the bracket body 711 away from the drive motor 721. At the same time, the pivot arm 52 can also extend the distance between the door body 51 and the anti-electric shaft 722, so that the door body 51 and the bracket body 711 are separated. When the drive motor 721 drives the switch door 300 to rotate, it can avoid the door body 51 from colliding with the bracket body 711. The structural design is reasonable, thereby ensuring the stability and reliability of the switch door 300 in opening or closing the air outlet 202.

[0069] In some embodiments of this application, as shown in Figures 1-4, the pivot arm 52 has a plug-in block 521 at one end away from the door body 51, and the peripheral wall of the anti-electric shaft 722 has a plug-in groove 7222 for the plug-in block 521 to be inserted. The door opening and closing drive also includes a bushing 74, which is movably sleeved on the anti-electric shaft 722 along the axial direction of the anti-electric shaft 722. The bushing 74 has a first position and a second position. When the plug-in block 521 is inserted into the plug-in groove 7222, in the first position, the bushing 74 is sleeved outside a portion of the plug-in block 521, and in the second position, the bushing 74 and the plug-in block 521 are spaced apart along the axial direction of the anti-electric shaft 722.

[0070] Therefore, when the plug block 521 is inserted into the plug slot 7222 and the bushing 74 is in the first position, the bushing 74 is fitted over part of the plug block 521, thereby fixing the plug block 521 in the plug slot 7222. This ensures a stable connection between the plug block 521 and the anti-electric shaft 722, thus ensuring the stability and reliability of the drive component of the door 300 in driving the door 300 to rotate. This also provides convenient operation and high assembly efficiency. Simultaneously, when the plug block 521 is inserted into the plug slot 7222 and the bushing 74 is in the second position, the bushing 74 is spaced apart from the plug block 521 along the axial direction of the anti-electric shaft 722. This allows the plug block 521 to be removed from the plug slot 7222, detaching it from the anti-electric shaft 722. This facilitates the disassembly, assembly, and maintenance of the door 300 or the drive component 500.

[0071] Moving the bushing 74 along the axial direction of the anti-electric shaft 722 makes it easier to ensure the coaxiality between the bushing 74 and the anti-electric shaft 722, thereby improving assembly accuracy, reducing friction and wear, and improving overall stability and durability. Meanwhile, compared to rotating the bushing 74 circumferentially along the anti-electric shaft 722, which requires a larger operating space and greater assembly difficulty for alignment, this application requires less space and has lower assembly difficulty by moving the bushing 74 along the axial direction of the anti-electric shaft 722. After the insertion block 521 is located in the insertion slot 7222, pressing the bushing 74 achieves a stable connection between the insertion block 521 and the insertion slot 7222, facilitating installation in spaces with poor visibility and effectively improving assembly efficiency. Furthermore, the insertion block 521 of this application only needs to extend into the insertion slot 7222 from the opening, without requiring the insertion block 521 to engage with the inner wall of the insertion slot 7222, further reducing the installation difficulty of the opening and closing door 300.

[0072] Specifically, before the door 300 is assembled, the bushing 74 can be in the second position, then the plug block 521 is inserted into the plug slot 7222, and then the bushing 74 is moved along the axial direction of the anti-electric shaft 722 to the first position and sleeved on the part of the plug block 521, thereby realizing a stable connection between the door 300 and the door 300 drive component.

[0073] In some embodiments of this application, as shown in Figures 1-4, the drive motor 721 and the bushing 74 are located on both sides of the anti-electric shaft 722 in the axial direction. This arrangement avoids mutual interference between the drive motor 721 and the pivot arm 52, ensuring a reasonable overall structural design and effectively reducing assembly difficulty, thereby improving the assembly and production efficiency of the air outlet structure 1001.

[0074] In some embodiments of this application, as shown in Figures 1 and 4, a flange 7221 is provided at the end of the anti-electric shaft 722 near the drive motor 721. The flange 7221 is sleeved on the outer peripheral wall of the anti-electric shaft 722 and connected to the anti-electric shaft 722. The flange 7221 is located between the support body 711 and the drive motor 721. The flange 7221 can play a positioning and limiting role, which can prevent the anti-electric shaft 722 from moving away from the drive motor 721 during rotation, thereby preventing the anti-electric shaft 722 from disengaging from the output shaft of the drive motor 721. The flange 7221 is fixed between the support body 711 and the drive motor 721, thereby ensuring the connection stability between the anti-electric shaft 722 and the drive motor 721, and thus ensuring the stability and reliability of the rotation of the door 300.

[0075] In some embodiments, the drive motor 721 is located on one side of the bracket body 711 along the length of the air outlet 202, as shown in the examples in Figures 2-4. The drive motor 721 is located below the bracket body 711. In the specific assembly process, the anti-electric shaft 722 is first sleeved on the output shaft of the drive motor 721, and then the anti-electric shaft 722 is passed through the motor hole 7111 from bottom to top. When the flange 7221 abuts against the bracket body 711, the drive motor 721 is then fixed to the bracket body 711, thereby completing the connection between the door opening / closing drive component 72 and the drive bracket 71.

[0076] In some embodiments of this application, as shown in Figures 1-6, a motor stud 7112 is provided on the side of the bracket body 711 near the drive motor 721 in the thickness direction. The drive motor 721 and the motor stud 7112 are connected by fasteners. This ensures the connection stability between the drive motor 721 and the bracket body 711, and also allows for a detachable connection between the drive motor 721 and the bracket body 711, facilitating subsequent maintenance and repair, thereby reducing maintenance costs.

[0077] As shown in Figures 1 and 6, the drive motor 721 is provided with a first threaded hole 7211. An operator can pass fasteners such as bolts through the first threaded hole 7211 and screw them into the motor studs 7112 to complete the fixed connection between the drive motor 721 and the bracket body 711. This operation is simple and convenient, improving the assembly efficiency of the drive component 500. There are multiple motor studs 7112, and multiple first threaded holes 7211 corresponding to each of the multiple motor studs 7112. This allows for fixed connections between the drive motor 721 and the bracket body 711 at multiple points, enhancing the connection stability between them and dispersing stress at the connection point, thereby extending the service life of both the drive motor 721 and the bracket body 711.

[0078] Specifically, as shown in Figures 1 and 6, there are two motor studs 7112 and two first threaded holes 7211. Of course, the number of motor studs 7112 and the number of first threaded holes 7211 can also be three, four, etc., and this application does not make a specific limitation on this.

[0079] In some embodiments of this application, as shown in Figures 1-6, 9, and 10, the drive bracket 71 further includes a grille mounting structure 712. The grille mounting structure 712 is connected to the bracket body 711 and is located on one side of the bracket body 711 along the length direction of the air outlet 202. The air guide grille 200 includes a grille body 41 and a first mounting component 42. The grille body 41 extends along the length direction of the air outlet 202, and the first mounting component 42 is located at one end of the grille body 41 along the length direction and on one side of the grille body 41 along the thickness direction. The first mounting component 42 is rotatably connected to the grille mounting structure 712.

[0080] Understandably, by providing a first mounting component 42 on one side of the grille body 41 in the thickness direction, it is convenient to connect one side of the air guide grille 200 in the thickness direction to the drive bracket 71. This reduces the installation difficulty of the air guide grille 200 and also ensures the aesthetics of the side of the air guide grille 200 facing away from the first mounting component 42 in the thickness direction. At the same time, the first mounting component 42 is rotatably connected to the grille mounting structure 712, which ensures the rotatability of the air guide grille 200 relative to the drive bracket 71. While supporting and fixing the air guide grille 200, it allows the air guide grille 200 to rotate around its rotation axis, thereby ensuring the structural stability of the air outlet structure 1001 and enabling the air guide grille 200 to guide the airflow and adjust the air delivery direction in the width direction of the air outlet 202.

[0081] In some embodiments of this application, as shown in Figures 4 and 9-12, the grid mounting structure 712 is provided with a first rotating hole 7124, and the first mounting component 42 includes a first mounting plate 421 and an inner ring portion 422. The first mounting plate 421 is connected to the grid body 41, and the inner ring portion 422 is annular with one end in the axial direction connected to one side in the thickness direction of the first mounting plate 421. The inner ring portion 422 is rotatably disposed in the first rotating hole 7124.

[0082] It is understood that the first mounting plate 421 is perpendicular to the grille body 41, one end of the first mounting plate 421 is connected to the grille body 41, and the other end of the first mounting plate 421 extends toward the end opposite to the grille body 41. The inner ring portion 422 is located on the lower side of the first mounting plate 421, and the other end of the annular inner ring portion 422 extends downward in the axial direction. The first rotating hole 7124 also extends in the vertical direction. Thus, the inner ring portion 422 can cooperate with the first rotating hole 7124 to form a rotating connection. The structure is simple and easy to implement. This allows the air guide grille 200 to rotate around the axis of the inner ring portion 422 at the air outlet 202, thereby enabling the air guide grille 200 to guide the airflow and adjust the air delivery direction in the width direction of the air outlet 202.

[0083] In addition, by setting the first mounting plate 421 and the inner ring 422, it is convenient for the operator to directly snap the inner ring 422 into the first rotating hole 7124 from top to bottom, thereby realizing the rotational connection between the grille body 41 and the grille mounting structure 712. The installation is convenient and the operation is simple, which can effectively improve the assembly efficiency of the drive component 500.

[0084] In some embodiments of this application, as shown in Figures 1-6 and 9-12, the grille mounting structure 712 is provided with an annular boss 7123, and the first rotating hole 7124 passes through the annular boss 7123. The first mounting component 42 also includes an outer ring portion 423, which is annular and one end of the outer ring portion 423 is connected to the first mounting plate 421 in the axial direction. The outer ring portion 423 is sleeved outside the inner ring portion 422 and spaced apart from the inner ring portion 422. The annular boss 7123 is located between the inner ring portion 422 and the outer ring portion 423.

[0085] It is understandable that the outer ring portion 423 is located on the lower side of the first mounting plate 421 and sleeved outside the inner ring portion 422. The outer ring portion 423, which is spaced apart from the inner ring portion 422, can play a limiting role. When the operator inserts the inner ring portion 422 into the first rotating hole 7124 from top to bottom, the outer ring portion 423 can limit the annular boss 7123 between the outer ring portion 423 and the inner ring portion 422, thereby ensuring the connection stability between the first mounting component 42 and the annular boss 7123, and thus improving the stability of the air guide grille 200 in the width direction of the air outlet 202.

[0086] In some embodiments, the inner peripheral wall of the outer ring portion 423 is provided with a rotating rib 4231, and the outer peripheral wall of the annular boss 7123 is provided with a rotating positioning rib 7125. The rotating rib 4231 can abut against the rotating positioning rib 7125 along the circumferential direction of the outer ring portion 423. When the inner ring portion 422 and the annular boss 7123 rotate relative to each other, the distance between the rotating rib 4231 and the rotating positioning rib 7125 along the circumferential direction of the inner ring portion 422 changes. When the rotating rib 4231 abuts against the rotating positioning rib 7125, the inner ring portion 422 stops rotating, which can achieve the function of positioning and limiting, thereby limiting the rotation range of the air guide grille 200 at the air outlet 202, avoiding unnecessary rotation of the air guide grille 200, ensuring the effective air guidance of the air guide grille 200, and thus improving the reliability of the air guide grille 200 rotating and guiding airflow in the width direction of the air outlet 202.

[0087] Specifically, as shown in Figure 5, the annular boss 7123 has two rotating positioning ribs 7125 on its outer peripheral wall. When the annular boss 7123 is located between the outer ring portion 423 and the inner ring portion 422, the rotating rib 4231 is placed between the two rotating positioning ribs 7125 along the circumferential direction of the inner ring portion 422. Thus, when the inner ring portion 422 rotates, the rotating rib 4231 rotates between the two rotating positioning ribs 7125 along the circumferential direction of the inner ring portion 422. When the rotating rib 4231 abuts against one of the rotating positioning ribs 7125, the inner ring portion 422 stops rotating. The two rotating positioning ribs 7125 can achieve positioning and limiting of the rotation of the annular boss 7123 in two directions, thereby limiting the rotation range of the air guide grille 200 at the air outlet 202 in two directions.

[0088] In some embodiments of this application, as shown in Figures 2-6, 11, and 12, the first rotating hole 7124 and the motor hole 7111 are coaxially arranged. The air guide grille 200 rotates around the axis of the first rotating hole 7124, and the switch door 300 rotates around the axis of the motor hole 7111, thereby enabling the switch door 300 and the air guide grille 200 to rotate coaxially.

[0089] In other words, the rotation axis of the switch door 300 coincides with the rotation axis of the air guide grille 200. When the switch door 300 closes the air outlet 202, the air guide grille 200 is located inside the switch door 300. Therefore, the rotation trajectory of the switch door 300 and the air guide grille 200 can always remain concentric circles with different radii. Thus, the switch door 300 and the air guide grille 200 can avoid mutual interference during rotation. This facilitates the normal rotation of the switch door 300 and the air guide grille, preventing accidental collisions when the switch door 300 and the air guide grille 200 are driven separately. This ensures the stability and reliability of the drive component 500 and the air outlet structure 1001, reduces the risk of damage to the air outlet structure 1001, and ultimately helps extend the service life of the air outlet structure 1001.

[0090] In some embodiments of this application, as shown in Figures 1-6, the grille mounting structure 712 includes: a first grille frame 7121 and a second grille frame 7122. The first grille frame 7121 and the bracket body 711 are spaced apart along the length of the air outlet 202. One end of the second grille frame 7122 is connected to the first grille frame 7121, and the other end is connected to the bracket body 711. The first grille frame 7121 and the second grille frame 7122 are at an angle to each other.

[0091] Understandably, the first mounting component 42 is rotatably connected to the first grille frame 7121, supporting and fixing the air guide grille 200 while ensuring the rotational flexibility of the air guide grille 200 relative to the drive bracket 71. The first grille frame 7121 and the bracket body 711 are spaced apart along the length of the air outlet 202, thus providing clearance and facilitating the connection between the door 300 and the door opening / closing drive component 72. Furthermore, when the door opening / closing drive component 72 drives the door 300 to rotate, the space between the first grille frame 7121 and the bracket body 711 prevents collisions and interference between the door 300 and the grille mounting structure 712. This reasonable structural design ensures the stability and reliability of the drive component 500 and the air outlet structure 1001. In addition, the second grille frame 7122 serves as a connector, ensuring that the first grille frame 7121 is fixed to the bracket body 711, thereby guaranteeing the structural rationality and stability of the drive bracket 71.

[0092] For example, as shown in Figure 5, the first grid frame 7121 has an annular boss 7123 on the side opposite to the support body 711. The annular boss 7123 is annular and defines a first rotating hole 7124, which passes through the first grid frame 7121. The first mounting assembly 42 includes a first mounting plate 421 and an inner ring portion 422. The first mounting plate 421 is connected to the grid body 41. The inner ring portion 422 is annular, and one end in the axial direction is connected to one side in the thickness direction of the first mounting plate 421. The inner ring portion 422 is rotatably disposed in the first rotating hole 7124, thus enabling a rotatable connection between the first mounting assembly 42 and the first grid frame 7121. The door 300 includes a door body 51 and a pivot arm 52. The pivot arm 52 is located on one side of the door body 51 in the thickness direction. The pivot arm 52 is located between the support body 711 and the first grille frame 7121 and is connected to the door opening and closing drive component 72. Therefore, the space between the first grille frame 7121 and the support body 711 can prevent the pivot arm 52 from colliding and interfering with the grille mounting structure 712 when the door body 51 rotates, thereby ensuring the stability and reliability of the door opening and closing 300 rotation.

[0093] In some embodiments of this application, as shown in Figures 1-6, the drive bracket 71 further includes a louver mounting structure 713. The louver mounting structure 713 is connected to the bracket body 711 and is located on the side of the bracket body 711 along the length direction of the air outlet 202, away from the installation position of the air guide grille 200. The louver drive component 73 is disposed on the louver mounting structure 713. The louver mounting structure 713 can fix the louver drive component 73 used to drive the louver assembly 10 to the drive bracket 71. Along the length direction of the air outlet 202, the installation position of the louver assembly 10 is spaced apart from the installation position of the air guide grille 200. As shown in the example in Figure 4, the louver mounting structure 713 is located below the bracket body 711, and the position where the air guide grille 200 is rotatably connected to the drive bracket 71 is located above the bracket body 711. This can avoid mutual interference between the louver assembly 10 and the air guide grille 200 during movement, thereby ensuring the stability and reliability of the drive component 500 and the air outlet structure 1001, and the structural arrangement is reasonable.

[0094] The louver assembly 10 includes a connecting rod 1 and multiple louvers 2. The connecting rod 1 extends along the length of the air outlet 202, and the multiple louvers 2 are spaced apart along the length of the air outlet 202 and are all rotatably connected to the connecting rod 1. The louver drive component 73 is connected to the connecting rod 1 and is used to drive the connecting rod 1 to move along the length of the air outlet 202. The louver assembly 10 is located inside the air outlet duct 201 and is located upstream of the air guide grille 200 along the airflow direction. The connecting rod 1 extends along the length of the air outlet 202, and the louver drive component 73 drives the connecting rod 1 to move along the length of the air outlet 202, which can drive the louvers 2 to rotate around a rotation axis extending along the width direction of the air outlet 202, thereby guiding the airflow in the length direction of the air outlet 202. In addition, there are multiple louvers 2 spaced apart along the length of the air outlet 202. All louvers 2 are rotatably connected to the connecting rod 1, which can realize the synchronous rotation of multiple louvers 2. The airflow in the air outlet duct 201 flows out after being guided by multiple louvers 2, which can improve the uniformity of air supply in the air outlet structure 1001 along the length of the air outlet 202, thereby better meeting the user's needs.

[0095] In some embodiments of this application, as shown in Figures 1-4, the louver drive 73 includes a louver motor 731, a louver gear 732, and a rack 31. The louver motor 731 is connected to the louver mounting structure 713, the louver gear 732 is connected to the output shaft of the louver motor 731, and the rack 31 extends along the length direction of the air outlet 202 and is movably mounted on the louver mounting structure 713. The rack 31 is connected to the connecting rod 1 and meshes with the louver gear 732. Thus, when the louver motor 731 is energized, the output shaft of the louver motor 731 rotates, thereby driving the louver gear 732 to rotate. Through the meshing of the louver gear 732 and the rack 31, the louver gear 732 rotates, causing the rack 31 to move along the length direction of the air outlet 202, thereby driving multiple louvers 2 to rotate around a rotation axis extending along the width direction of the air outlet 202. This enables the louvers 2 to guide the airflow along the length direction of the air outlet 202.

[0096] The mechanical transmission system composed of the louver motor 731, louver gear 732, and rack 31 has a simple structure and stable transmission, which can ensure the operational stability and reliability of the louver drive component 73. The louver motor 731, through the louver gear 732 and rack 31, can precisely control the moving distance of the connecting rod 1 and the rotation angle of the louver 2, thereby achieving fine adjustment of the air outlet direction along the length of the air outlet 202.

[0097] In some embodiments of this application, as shown in Figures 1-6, the louver mounting structure 713 includes a rack guide rail 7131 and a motor base 7133. The rack guide rail 7131 extends along the length direction of the air outlet 202, and one end of the rack guide rail is connected to the bracket body 711. A rack cavity 7132 is provided inside the rack guide rail 7131, and the rack cavity 7132 extends through the rack guide rail 7131 along the length direction of the rack guide rail 7131. At least a portion of the rack 31 passes through the rack cavity 7132. The motor base 7133 is connected to the rack guide rail 7131, and a gear cavity 7134 is provided inside the motor base 7133. The gear cavity 7134 communicates with the rack cavity 7132, and the louver gear 732 is disposed in the gear cavity 7134.

[0098] Understandably, the rack guide rail 7131 is cylindrical and passes through the bracket body 711. The rack cavity 7132 extends along the length of the air outlet 202 and passes through the rack guide rail 7131. This facilitates the rack 31 passing through the rack guide rail 7131 and allowing it to move flexibly within the rack cavity 7132 along the length of the air outlet 202. Simultaneously, the motor base 7133 is connected to the outer wall of the rack guide rail 7131, and the louver gear 732 is located within the gear cavity 7134 of the motor base 7133. By connecting the gear cavity 7134 with the rack cavity 7132, the louver gear 732 and the rack 31 can mesh, thus ensuring the transmission stability of the louver drive component 73. The structure is compact and rationally designed.

[0099] In some embodiments of this application, as shown in Figures 1-6, the louver mounting structure 713 further includes multiple motor screw posts 7135 connected to the rack and pinion guide rail 7131. Along the length of the rack and pinion guide rail 7131, multiple motor screw posts 7135 are located on both sides of the motor base 7133. The louver motor 731 is connected to the motor screw posts 7135 via fasteners. This ensures both the stability of the connection between the louver motor 731 and the rack and pinion guide rail 7131 and allows for a detachable connection, facilitating subsequent maintenance and repair, thereby reducing maintenance costs.

[0100] As shown in Figures 1 and 6, the louver motor 731 is provided with a second threaded hole 7311. Operators can pass fasteners such as bolts through the second threaded hole 7311 and screw them into the motor screw post 7135 to complete the fixed connection between the louver motor 731 and the rack guide rail 7131. This operation is simple and convenient, improving the assembly efficiency of the drive component 500. There are multiple motor screw posts 7135, and multiple second threaded holes 7311 corresponding to these motor screw posts 7135. This allows for a fixed connection between the louver motor 731 and the rack guide rail 7131 at multiple points, enhancing the connection stability between them and dispersing stress at the connection point, thereby extending the service life of both the louver motor 731 and the rack guide rail 7131. Multiple motor screw posts 7135 are located on both sides of the motor base 7133 along the length of the air outlet 202, which facilitates the installation of the louver motor 731.

[0101] Specifically, as shown in Figures 1 and 6, there are two motor screw posts 7135 and two threaded holes 7311. Of course, the number of motor screw posts 7135 and two threaded holes 7311 can also be three, four, etc., and this application does not make a specific limitation on this.

[0102] In some embodiments of this application, as shown in Figures 7 and 8, the air outlet frame 20 is provided with mounting holes 209, and at least a portion of the drive bracket 71 is located within the mounting holes 209. The shape of the mounting holes 209 is the same as the shape of the bracket body 711. Specifically, the mounting holes 209 are cavities that can accommodate the drive bracket 71. The shape of the mounting holes 209 is the same as the shape of the bracket body 711, that is, the sidewalls of the mounting holes 209 match the edges of the bracket body 711 in the circumferential direction, which facilitates the installation and fixation of the drive bracket 71 on the air outlet frame 20. Furthermore, the sidewalls of the mounting holes 209 can play a positioning and limiting role for the bracket body 711, which is beneficial to improving the stability and reliability of the air outlet structure 1001.

[0103] In some embodiments of this application, as shown in Figures 6, 7, and 8, a drive stud 2015 is provided on the inner wall of the mounting hole 209, and the bracket body 711 is connected to the drive stud 2015 by fasteners.
