Detailed Description

With combined reference to fig. 1 to 4, according to an embodiment of the present invention, there is provided an air intake structure, including an air intake 1, the air intake 1 is provided with a decorative plate 2, the decorative plate 2 can move relative to the air intake 1 to be in a closed position at least partially shielding the air intake 1 when the air conditioner is stopped and to be in an open position when the air conditioner is operated, and it can be understood that the air intake area of the air intake 1 is maximized when the decorative plate 2 is in the open position. In this technical scheme, decorative board 2 has open position and closed position, also does not move when the air conditioner shuts down, because there is not the air inlet demand therefore decorative board 2 is in the closed position, makes the area that exposes of air intake 1 less to promoted the outward appearance aesthetic property of air conditioner, make when the air conditioner moves decorative board 2 is in the open position, thereby is the air intake area maximize of air intake 1, the fully provided air conditioner is to the demand of intake.

In some embodiments, the decorative plate 2 is rotatably connected to the first rotating shaft 3 in the air conditioner, that is, the decorative plate 2 can be rotated relative to the first rotating shaft 3 to switch between the open position and the closed position, so that the air inlet structure is more compact.

The position switching of decorative board 2 can of course adopt artificial mode to realize, and the best, the air intake structure still includes the drive arrangement that opens and shuts, is used for driving decorative board 2 is in switch between closed position and the open position, thereby realize the degree of automation that the position of decorative board 2 switched, promote user's use and experience.

In some embodiments, the opening and closing driving device includes a driving motor 41 and a second rotating shaft 42 connected to a power output shaft of the driving motor 41, a rope 43 is wound around the second rotating shaft 42, a free end of the rope 43 is connected to the decorative plate 2, and the position of the decorative plate 2 can be switched by pulling the rope 43, specifically, when the driving motor 41 rotates in a first direction (for example, clockwise), the second rotating shaft 42 is forced to wind the rope 43, and the wound rope 43 pulls the decorative plate 2 to rotate around a rotation connection point of the decorative plate 2 and the first rotating shaft 3, so that the decorative plate 2 is switched from an open position to a closed position. The rope 43 may be, for example, a steel wire rope, which has certain flexibility and rigidity, and can achieve winding traction and effectively prevent knotting phenomenon during winding.

Preferably, the rope 43 is provided with a plurality of sets, the plurality of sets of the rope 43 are arranged at intervals along the axial direction of the second rotating shaft 42, and the plurality of sets of the rope 43 are particularly suitable for the situation that the length dimension of the decorative plate 2 is large, so that the position switching process of the decorative plate 2 is more stable and reliable.

In some embodiments, the driving motor 41 is a double-ended output shaft motor, the number of the second rotating shafts 42 is two, and two of the second rotating shafts 42 are respectively connected to two output shafts of the double-ended output shaft motor. In this technical scheme, through adopting the double-end output shaft motor and corresponding setting one respectively on its both ends output shaft second pivot 42, can reduce the number of setting of driving motor 41 on the one hand, save space and cost, on the other hand then can shorten the length of second pivot 42, effectively prevent the second pivot 42 at the amount of deflection deformation of application of force in-process.

The decorative plate 2 comprises a first decorative plate 21 and a second decorative plate 22, the first decorative plate 21 and the second decorative plate 22 are symmetrically arranged about the first rotating shaft 3, and when the driving motor 41 runs along a first direction, the first decorative plate 21 and the second decorative plate 22 can be simultaneously switched from the open position to the closed position under the traction of the rope 43. First decorative board 21 with every decorative board size can be reduced in the setting of second decorative board 22, makes the structural design of air conditioner more reasonable, and is more pleasing to the eye in appearance.

In some embodiments, an elastic structure (not shown in the drawings) is further disposed between the first rotating shaft 3 and the decorative plate 2, and the elastic structure may be, for example, a torsion spring, and is configured to apply a force to the decorative plate 2 to switch from the closed position to the open position, specifically, when the air conditioner is operated, the driving motor 41 is controlled to rotate in a second direction (for example, counterclockwise), at which time the second rotating shaft 42 is driven to rotate in the opposite direction, the surrounding rope 43 is loosened, and under the action of the elastic structure, the decorative plate 2 (specifically, the first decorative plate 21 and the second decorative plate 22) is elastically opened. Preferably, the air inlet 1 is formed on the air inlet panel 100, and when the decorative plate 2 is in the closed position, the decorative plate 2 is in snap connection with the air inlet panel 100, and the snap connection enables the decorative plate 2 to be more reliably in the closed position. Specifically, the buckle can be a simple buckle connection mode of a hook and a clamping groove, at the moment, when the air conditioner is opened, the buckle connection needs to be manually removed, preferably, the buckle can be electrically controlled or the buckle connection is removed, and when the air conditioner is opened, a corresponding buckle connection removing instruction is synchronously sent.

It is readily understood by a person skilled in the art that the advantageous ways described above can be freely combined, superimposed without conflict.

The above description is only exemplary of the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the present invention, and any modifications, equivalents and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention are intended to be included within the scope of the present invention. The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and it should be noted that, for those skilled in the art, a plurality of modifications and variations can be made without departing from the technical principle of the present invention, and these modifications and variations should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
