The specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood by those skilled in the art according to specific situations.
Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a schematic side view of an air deflection assembly of an air conditioner according to a first embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 1, the air deflection assembly includes an air deflection main body (not denoted as a whole in fig. 1), which is disposed at an air outlet of the air conditioner via a pivot 11 and can adjust an air outlet direction of an air outlet (located on the left side in fig. 1, but not shown in fig. 1); the electromagnet assembly (not integrally labeled in fig. 1) includes a first electromagnet 5, a second electromagnet 6 and a first magnetic body 4, and the air deflector body can rotate and/or bend under the interaction between the electromagnetic forces of the first electromagnet 5 and the second electromagnet 6 and the first magnetic body 4. Specifically, the first magnetic body 4 is provided in the air deflection plate main body, for example, embedded in a groove of the air deflection plate main body or integrally formed with the air deflection plate main body at the time of initial manufacture. The first electromagnet 5 and the second electromagnet 6 are respectively arranged on the upper side and the lower side of the air deflector main body, for example, on an air conditioner shell or other structures on the upper side and the lower side of the air deflector main body. More specifically, in order to make the air deflector body more sensitive to bending or rotation under the guidance of the electromagnetic force, a person skilled in the art may repeatedly experiment the relative positions between the first and second electromagnets 5 and 6 and the first magnetic body 4 to determine an appropriate distance, and may also appropriately adjust the magnitudes of the electromagnetic forces of the first and second electromagnets 5 and 6.
With continued reference to fig. 1, specifically as shown in the lower left portion of fig. 1, both ends (only one end is shown in fig. 1) of the air deflector body are pivotally connected to the air conditioner case (not shown in fig. 1) through a pivot shaft 11 and the air deflector body can be controlled to rotate by a stepping motor (not shown in fig. 1), so that when the air conditioner starts to operate, the stepping motor controls the air deflector body to rotate, thereby opening the air outlet to blow out the air-conditioned air.
With continued reference to fig. 1, the air deflector body of the present invention includes a base portion 1, a connecting portion 3 and a bent portion 2, the connecting portion 3 connects the base portion 1 and the bent portion 2, both ends (only one end is shown in fig. 1) of the base portion 1 are pivotally connected with the air conditioner case through a pivot shaft 11, a first magnetic body 4 is disposed in the bent portion 2, and specifically, the first magnetic body 4 may be disposed in a groove of the bent portion 2 or integrally formed with the bent portion 2 at the time of initial manufacture. The base part 1 and the bending part 2 can be manufactured by following the plastic plate of the prior air deflector. According to the technical scheme of the invention, the connecting part 3 is made of a deformable material, such as an elastic material, when the first electromagnet 5 or the second electromagnet 6 is electrified, the first magnetic body 4 in the bent part 2 is acted by electromagnetic force to pull the bent part 2 to incline upwards or downwards, so that the air deflector main body is bent integrally, and when the electromagnetic force of the first electromagnet 5 or the second electromagnet 6 is removed due to power failure, the elastic force of the connecting part 3 can enable the bent part 2 to return to the initial state. In particular, the connection portion 3 may be a thermoplastic elastomer material. It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that while thermoplastic elastomer is described as the preferred embodiment, this choice is not exclusive and any deformable material that can perform the above functions may be substituted, such as rubber.
On the other hand, in an alternative embodiment of the embodiment shown in fig. 1, the base portion 1, the connecting portion 3 and the bending portion 2 may be integrally made of an elastic material, and the first magnetic body 4 is embedded in the air guiding plate body as shown in fig. 1, in an operating state, when the first magnetic body 4 is attracted by the electromagnetic force, the first magnetic body 4 drives the air guiding plate body to be integrally bent around the pivot 11 (instead of being bent along the connecting portion 3), and when the electromagnetic force is removed, the air guiding plate body returns to the initial state. In addition, in a simplified embodiment, the air deflector body does not include the connecting portion 3 and is made of a rigid material as a whole, the first magnetic body 4 is embedded in the air deflector body as shown in fig. 1, and when the first magnetic body 4 is attracted by the electromagnetic force, the first magnetic body 4 drives the air deflector body to rotate around the pivot shaft 11. Furthermore, the bent portion 2 may also be made of a magnetic material, so that the bent portion 2 can be directly regarded as the first magnetic body 4, thereby reducing the processing difficulty of the air deflector body, and such an improvement does not depart from the protection scope of the present invention. Specifically, the first magnetic body 4 may be made of a material that can be attracted by magnetic force, such as iron, steel, or silicon steel, but other suitable magnetic bodies may be considered.
Referring next to fig. 2 and 3 with continued reference to fig. 1, fig. 2 is a schematic side view of the air deflector assembly of the air conditioner in the cooling mode; fig. 3 is a schematic side view of an air deflection assembly of an air conditioner according to a first embodiment of the present invention in a heating mode. Specifically, in the working process, as shown in fig. 1, when the air conditioner starts the air supply mode, the air deflector main body is not bent; as shown in fig. 2, when the air conditioner starts the cooling mode, the first electromagnet 5 is energized, thereby attracting the first magnetic body 4 to force the bent portion 2 to be bent upward by the connecting portion 3; as shown in fig. 3, when the air conditioner is turned on in the heating mode, the second electromagnet 6 is energized, thereby attracting the first magnetic body 4 to force the bent portion 2 to be bent downward by the connecting portion 3. Therefore, the problem that the air conditioner is directly blown to a user after the air conditioner is started is avoided, and the problem that the air outlet angle of the air conditioner causes discomfort and even diseases to the user is solved.
Further, the configuration in the first embodiment may be simplified, specifically, the first magnetic body 4 is replaced with a bar magnet, and one electromagnet is provided on the upper side or the lower side of the air deflection plate main body. The bar magnet is attracted or repelled by the electromagnet being energized in the forward or reverse direction, thereby forcing the bent portion 2 to be bent upward or downward. Specifically, the electromagnet is placed on the upper side of the air deflector main body for explanation, and in a working state, when the air conditioner starts an air supply mode, the air deflector main body is not bent; when the air conditioner starts a refrigeration mode, the electromagnet is electrified in the positive direction, so that the bar magnet is attracted and the bending part 2 is forced to bend upwards by virtue of the connecting part 3; when the air conditioner is started in a heating mode, the electromagnet is reversely electrified, so that the bar-shaped magnet is repelled, and the bent part 2 is forced to be bent downwards by virtue of the connecting part 3, the air conditioner is prevented from being directly blown to a user after the air conditioner is started, and the problem that the air outlet angle of the air conditioner causes discomfort and even diseases to the user is solved. It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that although a bar magnet has been described, this choice is not exclusive and any other magnet with magnetic poles that can perform the above functions, such as a neodymium iron boron magnet, may be substituted without departing from the scope of the invention.
By the above explanation of the working principle of the air deflector assembly of the present invention, it can be obtained that: the air guide plate assembly can automatically control the wind direction according to the operation mode of the air conditioner, the design is more humanized, the practicability of the air conditioner is improved, the operation that the air guide plate needs to be adjusted after a user opens the air conditioner is omitted, and convenience is brought to the user. Specifically, when the air conditioner operates in a heating mode, the bending part 2 bends downwards, so that hot air is blown downwards and floats upwards, thereby greatly enhancing the heat exchange effect of a room and enhancing the heating efficiency of the air conditioner; similarly, when the air conditioner operates in a cooling mode, the bending part 2 is bent upwards to blow out cold air upwards, and the cold air floats downwards, so that the heat exchange effect of a room is greatly enhanced, and the cooling efficiency of the air conditioner is enhanced.
In addition, compared with the function of controlling the air outlet direction of the existing air deflector, the air deflector main body greatly increases the air supply angle of the air supply device no matter the air deflector main body rotates and/or bends after being heated or cooled, so that the air deflector assembly can meet the requirements of users to the maximum extent, and the practicability of the air supply device is enhanced.
Referring to fig. 4, 5 and 6, fig. 4 is a schematic side view of a second embodiment of an air deflection assembly of an air conditioner according to the present invention; FIG. 5 is a schematic side view of a second embodiment of an air deflector of the air conditioner of the present invention in a cooling mode; fig. 6 is a schematic side view of an air conditioner air deflector according to a second embodiment of the present invention in a heating mode. As shown in fig. 4, the electromagnet assembly includes an electromagnet 7, a first magnetic body 8 and a second magnetic body 9, the electromagnet 7 is disposed in the bent portion 2, specifically, a groove may be disposed on the bent portion 2 or other structures may stably place the electromagnet 7, and the first magnetic body 8 and the second magnetic body 9 are disposed on the upper and lower sides of the bent portion 2 in a polarity symmetric manner, respectively. Specifically, a groove or other fixing structure may be provided in the case of the air conditioner to place the first and second magnetic bodies 8 and 9. In the working process, as shown in fig. 4, when the air conditioner starts the air supply mode, the air deflector assembly is not bent; as shown in fig. 5, when the air conditioner starts the cooling mode, the electromagnet 7 is energized to attract the first magnetic body 8 and repel the second magnetic body 9, forcing the bent portion 2 to be bent upward by the connecting portion 3; as shown in fig. 6, when the air conditioner turns on the heating mode, the electromagnet 7 is energized in reverse, thereby attracting the second magnetic body 9 and repelling the first magnetic body 8, forcing the bent portion 2 to be bent downward by the connecting portion 3. The beneficial effects of the first embodiment can also be achieved, and are not described in detail herein. Specifically, in order to make the air deflector body more sensitive to bending or rotation under the guidance of the electromagnetic force, a person skilled in the art may repeatedly experiment the relative positions between the first and second magnetic bodies 8 and 9 and the electromagnet 7 to determine an appropriate distance, and may also appropriately adjust the magnitude of the electromagnetic force of the electromagnet 7. Preferably, the first and second magnetic bodies 8 and 9 are bar magnets. It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that although a bar magnet has been described, this choice is not exclusive and any magnet with magnetic poles that can perform the above functions may be substituted for the bar magnet, such as a neodymium iron boron magnet, without departing from the scope of the invention.
Similar to the embodiment, the connection portion 3 is made of a deformable material, such as an elastic material, and when the bending portion 2 is subjected to an electromagnetic force, the connection portion 3 is bent and maintains the connection state, and when the external force is removed, the connection portion 3 can restore the bending portion 2 to the original state. In particular, the connection portion 3 may be a thermoplastic elastomer material. It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that while thermoplastic elastomer is described as the preferred embodiment, this choice is not exclusive and any deformable material that can perform the above functions may be substituted, such as rubber. On the other hand, the base portion 1, the connecting portion 3 and the bending portion 2 may be integrally made of an elastic material, and the electromagnet 7 is fixedly disposed in the air guiding plate main body as shown in fig. 1 to 3, in an operating state, when the first magnetic body 8 and the second magnetic body 9 are acted by the electromagnetic force of the electromagnet 7, the air guiding plate main body is driven to bend around the pivot shaft 11, and when the electromagnetic force is cancelled, the air guiding plate main body is restored to an initial state. Furthermore, in a simplified embodiment, the air deflector body does not comprise the connection portion 3 and is made of a rigid material as a whole, the electromagnet 7 is embedded in the air deflector body as shown in fig. 1 to 3, and when the electromagnet 7 is energized and generates an electromagnetic force, it cooperates with the first magnetic body 8 or the second magnetic body 9 to rotate the air deflector body around the pivot axis 11.
Further, the structure of the second embodiment can be simplified, and specifically, one bar magnet is disposed on the upper side or the lower side of the air deflector body. The bar magnet is attracted or repelled by the electromagnet being energized in the forward or reverse direction, thereby forcing the bent portion 2 to be bent upward or downward. Specifically, if the bar magnet is arranged on the upper side of the air deflector main body, the air deflector main body is not bent when the air conditioner starts an air supply mode; when the air conditioner starts a refrigeration mode, the electromagnet is electrified in the positive direction, so that the bar magnet is attracted and the bending part 2 is forced to bend upwards by virtue of the connecting part 3; when the air conditioner is started in a heating mode, the electromagnet is reversely electrified, so that the bar-shaped magnet is repelled, the bent part 2 is forced to be bent downwards by virtue of the connecting part 3, the air conditioner is prevented from being directly blown to a user after the air conditioner is started, and the problem that the air outlet angle of the air conditioner causes discomfort and even diseases to the user is solved. Also, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that although a bar magnet has been described, this choice is not exclusive and any other magnet with magnetic poles that can perform the above functions, such as a neodymium iron boron magnet, may be substituted without departing from the scope of the present invention.
Finally, the present invention also defines and claims a control method for the air deflection assembly, corresponding to the first embodiment and the second embodiment. The control method comprises the following steps: detecting the operation mode and/or the outlet air temperature of an air supply device (such as an air conditioner); and controlling the electromagnetic force of the electromagnet assembly according to the detected operation mode and/or the detected air outlet temperature so as to adjust the air outlet direction of the air outlet. Specifically, when the operation mode of the air supply device is detected to be the air supply mode, the electromagnetic force of the electromagnet assembly is controlled to enable the air deflector assembly not to rotate or bend; when the operation mode of the air supply device is detected to be a refrigeration mode, the electromagnetic force of the electromagnet assembly is controlled to enable the air deflector assembly to rotate upwards and/or bend; when the operation mode of the air supply device is detected to be a heating mode, the electromagnetic force of the electromagnet assembly is controlled to enable the air deflector assembly to rotate downwards and/or bend. Further, the control method further includes: the current direction or the electromagnetic force of the electromagnet assembly is changed according to the air outlet temperature, and then the rotating direction/angle and/or the bending direction/angle of the air deflector assembly are changed.
It should be noted that the above-mentioned manner for adjusting the magnitude and direction of the magnetic force of the electromagnet by changing the magnitude and direction of the current is well known to those skilled in the art, and is not described in detail in this application.
So far, the technical solutions of the present invention have been described in connection with the preferred embodiments shown in the drawings, but it is easily understood by those skilled in the art that the scope of the present invention is obviously not limited to these specific embodiments. Equivalent changes or substitutions of related technical features can be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the principle of the invention, and the technical scheme after the changes or substitutions can fall into the protection scope of the invention.
