The embodiment of the utility model provides an air guide device for an air conditioner indoor unit.
The indoor unit of the air conditioner is an indoor part of a split air conditioner or an indoor end machine type of a central air conditioner. The air conditioner is used for conditioning indoor air, including adjusting temperature, humidity, air quality of the air, humidifying the indoor air, dehumidifying, introducing fresh air, and the like. The air conditioner may be constituted by an evaporator, a condenser, a compressor, a throttle device and other necessary elements to form a vapor compression refrigeration cycle system to output cool/hot air through a fan to achieve cooling and heating of an indoor environment. The embodiment of the utility model does not limit the specific form of the indoor unit of the air conditioner, and the air conditioner can be various household air conditioners, commercial central air conditioners and the like. Specifically, the specific form of the indoor unit of the air conditioner can be various forms such as wall hanging type, vertical type, integral type, patio type and the like.
Fig. 1 is a schematic view of a structure of an air guide device 30 for an indoor unit of an air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present utility model, fig. 2 is an enlarged view of a portion a of fig. 1, fig. 3 is a schematic view of an indoor unit of an air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present utility model in a state of being fitted into a cabinet, fig. 4 is a schematic view of the structure of fig. 3 in another view with a first air guide plate 31 and a second air guide plate 32 opened, fig. 5 is a schematic sectional view of the structure of fig. 3, and fig. 6 is a schematic view of the first air guide plate 31 and the second air guide plate 32 of fig. 5 after adjusting an air guide angle.
As shown in fig. 1 to 6, an air guiding device 30 for an indoor unit of an air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present utility model may generally include a first air guiding plate 31, a second air guiding plate 32, and a driving mechanism 33.
The first air deflector 31 is rotatably disposed at an air outlet 212 of the indoor unit of the air conditioner, and is used for guiding wind direction. The second air deflector 32 is rotatably disposed at the air outlet 212 of the indoor unit of the air conditioner, for guiding the wind direction, and the first air deflector 31 and the second air deflector 32 are both plate-shaped, and the further shape and configuration of the present embodiment are not limited. The rotation axis x2 of the second air deflection 32 is parallel to the rotation axis x1 of the first air deflection 31, see fig. 1.
The driving mechanism 33 is used for driving the first air deflector 31 and the second air deflector 32 to rotate synchronously, and reversing the direction of the first air deflector 31 and the second air deflector 32. In the embodiment of the utility model, one driving mechanism 33 is used for driving the two air deflectors (the first air deflector 31 and the second air deflector 32) to rotate, so that the structure of the driving mechanism 33 is simpler and more efficient.
In the embodiment of the utility model, the air flow from the air outlet 212 of the indoor unit of the air conditioner is split and blown out in two directions under the guidance of the first air deflector 31 and the second air deflector 32, so that the requirements of users in certain occasions are facilitated.
For example, as shown in fig. 3 to 5, in the built-in air conditioning indoor unit, the rotation axes of the first air guide plate 31 and the second air guide plate 32 may each extend in the lateral direction of the casing 21, and the first air guide plate 31 may be located above the second air guide plate 32. Thus, the first air deflector 31 can be adjusted to be in a state of extending forward and upward, the second air deflector 32 can be adjusted to be in a state of extending forward and downward, the first air deflector 31 is used for upward air supply, the second air deflector 32 is used for downward air supply, the air outlet is prevented from directly blowing the human body forward, and uncomfortable feeling is brought to the human body. For other types of indoor units of air conditioners, the air guiding device 30 according to the embodiment of the present utility model also has corresponding effects, which are not described here.
Of course, the wind guiding angle can be adjusted by rotating the first wind guiding plate 31 and the second wind guiding plate 32. For example, compared to the state of fig. 5, the air guiding angles of the first air guiding plate 31 and the second air guiding plate 32 in fig. 6 are changed, so that the air guiding angles of the first air guiding plate 31 and the second air guiding plate 32 are more vertical.
In addition, the embodiment of the utility model only utilizes one driving mechanism 33 to drive the two air deflectors (the first air deflector 31 and the second air deflector 32) to synchronously rotate, so that the driving mechanism 33 is simplified, and the cost and the internal space of the air conditioner indoor unit are saved.
In some embodiments of the present utility model, as shown in fig. 1 and 2, the rotational axes x1, x2 of the first air deflection 31 and the second air deflection 32 may be located at the edges of the first air deflection 31 and the second air deflection 32, respectively. The two rotation axes x1, x2 are adjacent so that the first air deflector 31 and the second air deflector 32 rotate in opposite directions. In this way, the air-out air flow is divided into two flows, and the two flows are blown out under the guidance of the first air deflector 31 and the second air deflector 32, respectively, and the air-out air flow is wrapped around the user right in front of or under the indoor unit of the air conditioner, thereby forming a surrounding type air supply effect. Taking fig. 5 as an example, the first air deflector 31 and the second air deflector 32 rotate in opposite directions, so that the air flow is divided into upper and lower portions during air guiding.
In addition, the two rotation axes are adjacently arranged, so that the design of the driving mechanism 33 is convenient, the structure of the driving mechanism 33 is more compact and small, and the occupation of too much internal space of the indoor unit of the air conditioner is avoided.
In other embodiments of the present utility model (not shown), the rotation axes of the first air deflector 31 and the second air deflector 32 may be located away from the edges of the first air deflector 31 and the second air deflector 32, respectively, and may be located at a central position of the first air deflector 31 or the second air deflector 32, for example.
In some embodiments of the present utility model (not shown), the driving mechanism may include two motors for driving the first air guide plate 31 and the second air guide plate 32 to rotate, respectively.
In some preferred embodiments of the present utility model, as shown in fig. 1 and 2, the drive mechanism 33 includes a first gear 335, a second gear 336, and a motor 331. The first gear 335 is fixedly connected to the first air deflector 31, and is configured to drive the first air deflector 31 to rotate. The second gear 336 is fixedly connected to the second air deflector 32, and is used for driving the second air deflector 32 to rotate, and the first gear 335 is meshed with the second gear 336, so that the two gears are opposite in direction. The motor 331 is configured to directly or indirectly drive the first gear 335 or the second gear 336 to rotate. The motor 331 is a reversible motor so that the first air guide plate 31 and the second air guide plate 32 can swing reciprocally between two extreme states.
Further, the motor 331 is preferably a stepping motor so as to more precisely control the rotation angle, thereby precisely adjusting the positions of the first air deflection 31 and the second air deflection 32.
In the embodiment of the utility model, the driving mechanism 33 utilizes the first gear 335 and the second gear 336 to drive the first air deflector 31 and the second air deflector 32 respectively, and the first gear 335 and the second gear 336 are meshed, and the motor 331 only needs to drive one of the first gear 335 and the second gear 336 to enable the first gear 335 and the second gear 336 to synchronously and reversely rotate, so that the structure is simple and the control is accurate.
The motor 331 is configured to directly or indirectly drive the first gear 335 or the second gear 336 to rotate, and various schemes are specifically adopted.
For example, the shaft of the motor 331 may be directly connected to the first gear 335 or the second gear 336 so as to achieve a direct drive.
Or in a more preferred embodiment, as shown in fig. 2, the drive mechanism 33 further includes a transfer gear 332 and a rack 333. The transmission gear 332 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft of the motor 331. The rack 333 is meshed with one of the first gear 335 and the second gear 336 and is meshed with the transmission gear 332, so that when the motor 331 drives the transmission gear 332 to rotate, the transmission gear 332 drives the rack 333 to translate, and the first gear 335 and the second gear 336 are further rotated.
The air outlet 212 of the indoor unit of the air conditioner is located at the front side or the lower side of the casing 21, and an air duct 215 communicating with the air outlet 212 is arranged inside the casing 21, and the space inside the casing 21, particularly the space around the air outlet 212, is very limited due to the blocking of the air duct 215. The embodiment of the utility model drives the power through the drive gear 332 and the rack 333, so that the motor 331 is properly positioned far away from the air outlet 212 of the indoor unit of the air conditioner, and the motor 331 has enough installation space.
In addition, the embodiment of the utility model can achieve the effect of adjusting the rotating speed by designing the gear ratio among the gears. For example, the number of teeth of the transmission gear 332 may be greater than the number of teeth of the first gear 335 and the second gear 336, so that the rotational speeds of the first gear 335 and the second gear 336 are less than the rotational speed of the motor 331, so as to achieve the effect of slow rotation of the first air deflector 31 and the second air deflector 32.
In some embodiments, the number of teeth of the first gear 335 and the second gear 336 may be the same, so that the rotational speeds of the first air deflector 31 and the second air deflector 32 are the same, and after the motor 331 rotates by a predetermined angle, the rotational angles of the first air deflector 31 and the second air deflector 32 are the same.
In other embodiments, the number of teeth of the first gear 335 and the second gear 336 may be different, so that the rotational speeds of the first air deflector 31 and the second air deflector 32 are different. Thus, after the motor 331 rotates by a predetermined angle, the rotation angles of the first air deflector 31 and the second air deflector 32 are different.
In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 1 and 2, the first gear 335 may be mounted to one end of the first air deflector 31 in the direction of the rotation axis x1, and the other end of the first air deflector 31 is provided with a first shaft 312 for rotatably mounting to the casing 21 of the air conditioning indoor unit. Specifically, the housing 21 may be provided with corresponding holes (not shown) to mate with the first shaft 312. The second gear 336 is mounted to one end of the second air guide plate 32 in the direction of the rotation axis x2, and the other end of the second air guide plate 32 is provided with a second shaft 322 for rotatably mounting to the casing 21 of the indoor unit of the air conditioner. Specifically, the housing 21 may be provided with corresponding holes (not shown) to mate with the second shaft 322.
In another aspect, the embodiment of the utility model provides an air conditioner indoor unit.
The air conditioning indoor unit includes the casing 21 and the air guiding device 30 of any of the embodiments described above. The casing 21 has an air outlet 212 for the air. The first air guide plate 31 and the second air guide plate 32 are rotatably provided at the air outlet 212 for guiding the wind direction.
The indoor unit of the air conditioner is an indoor part of a split air conditioner or an indoor end machine type of a central air conditioner. The air conditioner is used for conditioning indoor air, including adjusting temperature, humidity, air quality of the air, humidifying the indoor air, dehumidifying, introducing fresh air, and the like. The air conditioner may be constituted by an evaporator, a condenser, a compressor, a throttle device and other necessary elements to form a vapor compression refrigeration cycle system to output cool/hot air through a fan to achieve cooling and heating of an indoor environment. The embodiment of the utility model does not limit the specific form of the indoor unit of the air conditioner, and the air conditioner can be various household air conditioners, commercial central air conditioners and the like. Specifically, the specific form of the indoor unit of the air conditioner can be various forms such as wall hanging type, vertical type, integral type, patio type, embedded type and the like.
In some embodiments, the air conditioning indoor unit 20 is a built-in type for being built-in a predetermined chamber. The chamber may be a chamber of a cabinet, wardrobe or other cabinet. Or the cavity is formed by grooving the building wall. The embodiment of the utility model does not limit the cavity. The embedded installation ensures that the air conditioner indoor unit 20 has better concealment and does not influence the integral indoor decoration style.
Fig. 3 to 6 illustrate an embodiment of an indoor unit of an air conditioner.
As shown in fig. 3 to 6, the air conditioning indoor unit 20 includes a casing 21, a fan 23, and a heat exchanger 22. The casing 21 is provided with an air inlet 211 for air inlet and an air outlet 212 for air outlet, and the first air deflector 31 and the second air deflector 32 are rotatably arranged at the air outlet 212 for guiding wind direction.

The cabinet 21 is embedded inside the cabinet 10, and serves to accommodate main components of the air conditioning indoor unit 20, including a blower 23, a heat exchanger 22, an electronic control module, and the like. The casing 21 is formed with an air duct 215. The fan 23 is disposed in the housing 21, and is configured to promote air in the housing 21 to enter the housing 21 through the air inlet 211, so as to form an air intake. The heat exchanger 22 is disposed in the casing 21, and is configured to exchange heat with the air flow to form a heat exchange air flow. The heat exchange air flows through the air duct 215 to the air outlet 212. When the air conditioner operates in a refrigeration mode, the heat exchange air flow is cold air flow. When the air conditioner operates in a heating mode, the heat exchange air flow is hot air flow. Of course, the air conditioner may have only a cooling function, or both cooling and heating functions.
