As shown in fig. 1 to 4, the air deflector 50 may generally include an air deflector body 51, a first motor, a movable flap 52, and a flap driving mechanism 54. The air deflector body 51 constitutes a main body of the air deflector 50, and is rotatably mounted at the air outlet 12 of the air conditioner, and the rotation axis thereof is the x axis indicated in the figure. The first motor is used for driving the air deflector body 51 to rotate, and the specific structure of the first motor is not shown in the figure. The air deflector body 51 is used for opening or closing the air outlet 12, and when the air outlet 12 is opened, the air outlet direction of the air outlet 12 is changed by rotating to different angles, so that the air is blown to different indoor areas. The air deflector body 51 is provided with a plurality of air outlet micro-holes 510 penetrating through two opposite side surfaces thereof. The aperture ratio (i.e., the ratio of the aperture area to the aperture area) of the air deflector body 51 can be set to 30% or more. The diameter of the air outlet micro-holes 510 should be small, for example, between 0.5-2mm, to make the air flow finer.
The movable baffle 52 is movably mounted on the surface of the air deflector body 51 so as to shield the air outlet micro-holes 510 of a partial area of the air deflector body 51, i.e. shield a part of the air outlet micro-holes to prevent the air from being ventilated, and expose a part of the air outlet micro-holes to allow the air to be ventilated. The baffle driving mechanism 54 is used for driving the movable baffle 52 to move relative to the air deflector body 51 so as to change the area of the air deflector body 51 shielded by the movable baffle.
The embodiment of the utility model provides an in, partial air current in the air outlet 12 blows to indoor again after through air-out micropore 510, makes the air current disperse more, softly reaches a breeze effect, and the wind sensation is close natural wind more, realizes the comfortable air supply of air conditioner. Moreover, the movable baffle plate 52 is moved to change the shielding area, so that the specific area of the air outlet of the micropores can be changed, and the air conditioner has more air supply modes. Two air supply modes are briefly described below.
One is the normal blowing mode. The air deflector body 51 is controlled to deflect air in a conventional manner, and although part of air flow can pass through the air outlet micropores 510 to be blown out, the air outlet quantity is not large due to the small diameter of the air outlet micropores 510, so that excessive influence on normal air deflection of the air deflector body 51 can be avoided.
The other is a full breeze air supply mode. The air deflector body 51 is rotated to the angle of closing the air outlet 12, and at this time, the air flow can only be discharged from the air outlet micro-holes 510 to the indoor, so as to form a micro-wind blowing mode with small air quantity. The air outlet flow of the air outlet micropores 510 is slight, the flow rate is slow, the wind sensation experience is similar to natural wind, and the air outlet micropores are particularly suitable for refrigerating operation. Further, by adjusting the position of the movable flap 52, wind is blown out from a suitable area, so as to achieve the purpose of avoiding the human body. For example, when the air conditioner senses a person on the left, the movable flap 52 may be moved to the left to blow out the wind from the micropores on the right side of the air deflector body 51, thereby avoiding the person.
The plurality of outlet micropores 510 may cover the entire surface of the air deflector body 51. However, in consideration of necessity, processing cost, and difficulty in designing the movable flap 52, it is preferable that the air outlet microholes 510 are formed only in a part of the surface of the air deflector body 51. For example, as shown in fig. 1, when the air deflector 50 is used for guiding air, the air-conditioning internal airflow firstly passes through one end (end B) of the air deflector body 51 facing the inside of the outlet 12, is guided by the air deflector body 51, and then is blown into the room through one end (end a) facing the outside of the outlet 12. Define end B as windward end and end A as wind-out end. The plurality of outlet air micropores 510 may be disposed in a region of the air deflector body 51 adjacent to the outlet air end. When the air conditioner is in a normal air outlet mode, the airflow firstly passes through the non-perforated area close to the windward end of the air deflector body 51, is effectively guided, and then flows to the perforated area close to the air outlet end. Thus, the side effects of the air outlet micropores 510 on the air guiding are reduced to the minimum.
Further, the plurality of air outlet micro-holes 510 may be arranged in a long strip-shaped region (a region surrounded by E, F, G, H four points as illustrated in fig. 1) with the length direction parallel to the rotation axis (x axis) direction of the air deflector body 51. The two ends of the long strip-shaped area in the length direction can be flush with the two ends (C, D two ends) of the air deflector body 51, so that the span of the micropore air outlet area is larger. Still can make a plurality of air-out micropore 510 be the matrix equipartition in rectangular shape region to make it more orderly, air-out air current distributes more evenly.
The present embodiment designs the arrangement region shape and arrangement mode of the air outlet micropores 510, which not only can avoid the air outlet micropores 510 from being arranged in a mess to influence the uniformity of air flow and the beauty of the air conditioner, but also is beneficial to the movable baffle 52 with a simple shape to effectively shield the air outlet micropores 510.
For example, the movable baffle 52 can be mounted on the air deflector body 51 in a manner of translating along the length direction of the elongated region, and is disposed to abut against one side surface of the air deflector body 51 (the two are abutted in parallel or close to parallel), so as to shield the air outlet micro-hole 510. Further, the surface 511 of the air deflector body 51 facing the inside of the outlet 12 when the outlet 12 is closed is set as an inner surface, and the movable flap 52 is preferably disposed to abut against the inner surface of the air deflector body 51 so as not to affect the appearance of the air conditioner. Fig. 1 and 2 illustrate two positions of the movable barrier 52, respectively.
As shown in fig. 3, the air deflector body 51 may be provided with two guide grooves 516 and 517 which are parallel to the moving direction of the movable flapper 52 and have openings facing each other. Opposite sides of the movable fence 52 are movably inserted into one of the guide grooves 516, 517, respectively, so that the moving direction thereof is restricted. That is, the movable fence 52 is allowed to translate only in the extending direction of the guide grooves 516, 517.
The flapper drive mechanism 54 may take the form of a rack and pinion to drive the translation of the movable flapper 52. As shown in fig. 1 and 2, the barrier drive mechanism 54 includes a second motor 541, a gear 542, and a rack 543. The second motor 541 is installed on the air deflector body 51, and the second motor 541 can be controlled to rotate forward and backward. The gear 542 is mounted to the second motor 541 to be driven thereby. The rack 543 is fixed to the movable flapper 52 with its longitudinal direction parallel to the direction of translation of the movable flapper 52. The rack 543 is engaged with the gear 542 to translate under the action of the gear 542, so as to translate the movable shutter 52.
Of course, the baffle plate driving mechanism can also adopt other forms, such as a linear motor, a lead screw and nut mechanism and the like, which are not described in detail herein.
In addition, in addition to the movable barrier translation scheme described in the above embodiments, the movable barrier 52 may be made to change its blocking area in other ways. For example, one end of the movable baffle 52 can be pivotally mounted on the air deflector body 51, and can be turned over toward one side to shield the air outlet micro-hole 510 on the side; turning it to the other side to shield the air outlet micro-holes 510 on the other side. Alternatively, the movable baffle 52 is abutted against one side surface of the air deflector body 51 and can rotate around an axis perpendicular to the contact surface of the two, so as to change the shielding area.
As shown in fig. 4, a portion of the housing 10 adjacent to the top edge of the outlet 12 may be recessed inwardly to form a relief recess 13. When the air deflector body 51 is in a position for closing the air outlet 12, the end thereof is in the receding recessed portion 13. The outer surface of the air guide plate 50 may be flush with the outer side surface (the portion other than the receding recess) of the casing 10, so that the air conditioner may have a more beautiful appearance.
When the air deflector in the prior art closes the air outlet, the top end of the air deflector is basically aligned with the top edge of the air outlet so as to just seal the top edge of the air outlet. This design actually limits the size of the air deflection panel and does not allow the air deflection panel to be designed wider. In the embodiment, the air deflector body 51 is widened, and when the air outlet 12 is closed, the widened portion is located in the receding recess 13 of the casing 10, so that the air conditioner is prevented from being unattractive in appearance due to the fact that the widened air deflector body 51 is directly placed on the outer side of the surface of the casing 10.
The embodiment of the utility model provides an air conditioner is still provided. The air conditioner may be a wall-mounted machine, a cabinet machine, or various end machines of a central air conditioner. The following description will take the wall-mounted unit as an example. As shown in fig. 4, the air conditioner may generally include a housing 10, and the housing 10 is provided with an air inlet 11, an air outlet 12, and an air deflector 50 according to any of the above embodiments. The air deflector body 51 of the air deflector 50 is rotatably installed at the air outlet 12 to achieve the various functions and effects described in the above embodiments.
As shown in fig. 4, the air conditioner further includes an evaporator 20, a fan 30, an air duct 40, and a swing vane 60. The evaporator 20 is configured to exchange heat with air entering the housing 10 from the air inlet 11 to form heat exchange air (specifically, cold air during cooling and hot air during heating). The inlet of the air duct 40 faces the evaporator 20, and the outlet communicates with the air outlet 12. The fan 30 may be a cross-flow fan disposed at an inlet of the air duct 40 to promote air flow from the evaporator 20 to the air outlet 12. The casing 10 is provided with a plurality of first mounting arms 70 at the air outlet 12, the air deflector body 51 is provided with a plurality of second mounting arms 515 matching with the plurality of first mounting arms 70, and the second mounting arms 515 are rotatably mounted on the corresponding first mounting arms 70. The swing blade 60 is used for swinging wind left and right.
As shown in fig. 4, the outlet 12 may be located at a lower portion of the front side of the housing 10 and may be a long rectangle extending in a horizontal direction. The air deflector body 51 is formed in a rectangular shape matching the air outlet 12. And the rotation axis (x-axis) of the air deflector body 51 is parallel to the length direction of the air deflector body 51.
Fig. 5 is a schematic block diagram of an air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present invention. In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 5, the air conditioner further includes a human detection sensor 80 and a controller 90.
The human detection sensor 80 is mounted on the housing 10, and detects whether a human body enters a predetermined area in the room. The area may be a part of the room where human body can enter, such as the bed and its vicinity, or the whole area of the room. The human motion sensor 80 may be an infrared sensor. When the human detection sensor 80 detects that a human enters the predetermined area, a human body sensing signal is generated and transmitted to the controller 90.
The user may select whether the air conditioner enters the blow-through prevention mode. When the air conditioner is in the anti-blow-through mode, after the controller 90 receives the human body sensing signal transmitted by the human body sensing sensor 80, the controller controls the first motor 53 and/or the baffle driving mechanism 54 to operate so as to drive the air deflector body 51 and/or the movable baffle 52 to move, so that the air outlet of the air outlet 12 avoids the human body, and the comfort level experience of the user is improved.
For example, for the embodiment shown in fig. 1 to 4, when it is detected that the user is located on the left side of the air conditioner and is close to the air conditioner, the air deflector body 51 is controlled to rotate upward, and the movable baffle 52 is made to translate leftward, so that the wind avoids the human body.
When the air conditioner is not in the blow-through prevention mode, the controller 90 adjusts the positions of the air deflector body 51 and the movable flap 52 according to other control signals sent by a user through a remote controller or other communication terminals, or according to a preset operation mode of the air conditioner.
Thus, it should be apparent to those skilled in the art that while a number of exemplary embodiments have been illustrated and described in detail herein, many other variations or modifications can be made, consistent with the principles of the invention, which are directly determined or derived from the disclosure herein, without departing from the scope of the invention. Accordingly, the scope of the present invention should be understood and interpreted to cover all such other variations or modifications.
