Embodiment one:

Referring to fig. 1-11 and 18, embodiments of the present disclosure provide a drive mechanism for an air conditioner air deflection 30.

The air conditioner comprises an indoor unit and an outdoor unit, wherein the indoor unit and the outdoor unit are connected through an online pipe, and circulation of a refrigerant between the indoor unit and the outdoor unit is achieved.

The indoor unit includes a housing 100, and the housing 100 defines an air duct and is provided with an air inlet and an air outlet 1001 communicating with the air duct. The air duct is internally provided with a heat exchanger and a fan. Under the drive of the fan, air enters from the air inlet, exchanges heat with the heat exchanger, and is blown out from the air outlet 1001.

The indoor unit further includes an air deflector 30, and the air deflector 30 is movably disposed at the air outlet 1001 for opening or closing the air outlet 1001.

Alternatively, the drive mechanism includes a first link 10 and a second link 20.

The first connecting rod 10 is movably connected with the air deflector 30 and moves linearly along the length direction thereof; the second link is configured to be movably connected to the air deflector 30 and to perform a linear motion along its length direction.

The first connecting rod 10 and the second connecting rod 20 are sequentially arranged along the width direction of the air deflector 30, and the first connecting rod 10 and the second connecting rod 20 are movably connected with the air deflector 30. By the arrangement mode, under the condition that the first connecting rod 10 and the second connecting rod 20 do linear motion, the opening and closing requirements of the air deflector 30 can be met.

The first link 10 and the second link 20 cooperate to effect movement of the deflector 30 between the closed and open positions (as shown in fig. 18).

The open positions include a first open position and a second open position. Wherein, in the first open position, the air guiding surface 301 of the air guiding plate 30 faces the first air guiding direction, and in the second open position, the air guiding surface 301 of the air guiding plate 30 faces the second air guiding direction, one of the first air guiding direction and the second air guiding direction faces upwards, and the other one faces downwards. Namely, as shown in fig. 7 and 8, the first air guiding direction is downward, and as shown in fig. 5 and 6, the second air guiding direction is upward, or the first air guiding direction is upward, and the second air guiding direction is downward, so that the air guiding plate 30 is turned over.

As shown in fig. 18, in the closed position, the air deflector 30 closes the air outlet 1001. Taking the example that the first air guiding direction is downward and the second air guiding direction is upward, in the first open position, the air guiding surface 301 of the air guiding plate 30 is downward, so that the hot air flowing out of the air outlet 1001 is guided to flow downward during heating. In the second open position, the air guiding surface 301 faces upward, and cold air flowing out of the air outlet 1001 is guided to flow upward when refrigerating. Since the air deflector 30 has a first open position and a second open position, the air conditioner has a plurality of air outlet modes.

Optionally, as shown in fig. 3, the first link 10 includes a first end 109 and a second end 110 along a length, where the first end is movably connected to the air deflector 30; the second connecting rod 20 comprises a third end 206 and a fourth end 207 in the length direction, and the third end is movably connected with the air deflector 30; wherein the distance between the first end and the third end is smaller than the distance between the second end and the fourth end.

The air guiding surface 301 is provided with a first connecting portion and a second connecting portion, the first connecting portion is movably connected with the first connecting rod 10, and the second connecting portion is movably connected with the second connecting rod 20. The first connection portion may be the first protrusion 302 or the first recess, and the second connection portion may be the second protrusion 304 or the second recess.

The distance between the first end and the third end is smaller than the distance between the second end and the fourth end, and the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion need to be close to the middle portion of the air deflector 30 in the width direction under the condition that the air deflector 30 can have the first open position and the second open position. Compared with the first connecting part and the second connecting part which are arranged at the end part of the air deflector 30 in the width direction, the first connecting part and the second connecting part are required to be close to the middle part of the air deflector 30 in the width direction, so that the movement stroke of the first connecting rod 10 and the second connecting rod 20 can be reduced in the opening process of the air deflector 30, and the space occupied by the first connecting rod 10 and the second connecting rod 20 is reduced.

The second end is located the inboard of first end, and the fourth end is located the inboard of third end, and wherein the direction that is close to indoor set inside is interior, and the direction that is far away from indoor set inside is outside. As shown in fig. 3, the first link 10 and the second link 20 extend substantially along the length direction of the air duct, and the first link 10 and the second link 20 respectively move linearly along the length direction thereof, which means that the first link 10 and the second link 20 move linearly along the length direction of the air duct.

The movement track of the first link 10 is a first straight line, the movement track of the second link 20 is a second straight line, and along the extending direction of the first link 10 and the second link 20, the first straight line approaches toward the second straight line, and the second straight line approaches toward the first straight line, so that the distance between the first straight line and the second straight line is reduced.
