Furthermore, it should be noted that, in the description of the present invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified or limited, the terms "connected" and "connected" should be interpreted broadly, e.g., as being fixedly connected, detachably connected, or integrally connected; the two components can be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, and the two components can be communicated with each other. The specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood by those skilled in the art according to specific situations.
The air conditioner is widely used in daily life because of having the functions of cooling and heating, in order to adjust the air outlet area of cold air or hot air so as to make a user feel comfortable, a swinging blade and a swinging blade connecting rod connected with the swinging blade are arranged at the air outlet of the air conditioner, a swinging blade motor is arranged on a shell at the air outlet and is in transmission connection with the swinging blade connecting rod, and the swinging blade is driven to rotate by driving the swinging blade connecting rod.
In order to ensure that the swing blade motor can be stably connected to the shell, the air conditioner also comprises a bracket for fixing the swing blade motor. Illustratively, the support is the connecting plate, and the middle part of connecting plate is formed with the recess, and the edge of connecting plate one end extends outward and is formed with the flange, and the flange encloses with the connecting plate and establishes formation mounting groove. During installation, the swing blade motor is accommodated in the installation groove, the motor shaft extends into the sunken part to be in transmission connection with the swing blade connecting rod, and then the first support lug and the second support lug of the swing blade motor are connected with the flange through screws, so that the swing blade motor is fixed with the support.
However, with the above structure, the two support lugs of the swing blade motor are connected with the bracket through the screws, so that although the connection strength between the swing blade motor and the bracket can be ensured, a plurality of screws need to be screwed during installation, and the assembly process is complicated.
The following explains a preferable technical scheme of the air conditioner indoor unit of the embodiment of the invention.
Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of an air conditioner internal unit according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 1, the present embodiment provides an air conditioner internal unit 100, where the air conditioner internal unit 100 includes a casing 1, and a heat exchanger and a fan which are arranged inside the casing 1, where the casing 1 is provided with an air inlet and an air outlet, the heat exchanger is located between the air inlet and the fan, and the fan is configured to drive air in an external environment (for example, indoors) to flow into the casing 1 from the air inlet, and discharge cold air or hot air formed after heat exchange by the heat exchanger from the air outlet, thereby implementing cooling or heating.
Fig. 2 is a schematic structural diagram of a swing blade motor in an air conditioner indoor unit according to an embodiment of the present invention, fig. 3 is a schematic structural diagram of a swing blade connecting rod in an air conditioner indoor unit according to an embodiment of the present invention, and fig. 4 is a schematic connection diagram of a swing blade, a swing blade connecting rod and a swing blade motor in an air conditioner indoor unit according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 1 to 4, the air conditioner internal unit 100 further includes a swing blade motor 2, the swing blade motor 2 is connected to the casing 1 at the air outlet, a swing blade 11 and a swing blade connecting rod 3 connected to the swing blade 11 are disposed at the air outlet, the swing blade motor 2 is in transmission connection with the swing blade connecting rod 3, and the swing blade motor 2 drives the swing blade 11 to rotate by driving the swing blade connecting rod 3. Therefore, the swing blade 11 rotates to change the flow direction of the air discharged from the air outlet, so that the air supply range of the air conditioner indoor unit 100 is increased, and meanwhile, the air conditioner indoor unit is beneficial to avoiding cold air or hot air from directly blowing a user, and the comfort level of the user is improved.
Here, it should be noted that the air conditioner indoor unit 100 can be broadly understood, that is, the air conditioner indoor unit 100 can be a hanging unit hung on an indoor wall, and can also be a floor type air conditioner indoor unit. When the air conditioner indoor unit 100 is a vertical air conditioner indoor unit, the swing blades 11 are arranged in the transverse direction and extend in the vertical direction; correspondingly, the two swing blade motors 2 and the two swing blade connecting rods 3 are arranged, the two swing blade motors 2 are respectively arranged at the upper end and the lower end of the air outlet, and the swing blades 11 are driven to swing left and right by driving the swing blade connecting rods 3 to rotate. When the air conditioner indoor unit 100 is an on-hook unit, the swing blades 11 are arranged vertically and extend horizontally; correspondingly, the two swing blade motors 2 and the two swing blade connecting rods 3 are arranged, the two swing blade motors 2 are respectively arranged at the left end and the right end of the air outlet, and the swing blades 11 are driven to swing up and down by driving the swing blade connecting rods 3 to rotate. Therein, it can be understood that the two oscillating blade motors 2 are operated synchronously.
In addition, in the description of the present invention, the terms "up" and "down" are based on the positional relationship of the air conditioner indoor unit 100 with respect to the ground, and the terms "left" and "right" are based on the direction and the positional relationship of the air conditioner indoor unit 100 facing the indoor space. This is for convenience of description only and is not intended to indicate or imply that the device or component must have a particular orientation, be constructed and operated in a particular orientation, and is not to be construed as limiting the invention
Fig. 5 is a schematic structural diagram of a support device in an air conditioner indoor unit according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 5, in order to enable the vane motor 2 to be stably connected to the casing 1, the air conditioner internal unit 100 further includes a support device 4, the vane motor 2 is mounted on the support device 4, and the support device 4 plays a role of fixing and supporting. Wherein the support device 4 comprises a support portion 41, the support portion 41 is configured to surround at least a part of the swing blade motor 2 around the motor axis of the swing blade motor 2; the support portion 41 is provided with a stud 42 and a locking portion, the stud 42 is screwed to the first lug 21 of the vane motor 2, and the locking portion is engageable with or disengageable from the second lug 22 of the vane motor 2. That is, one of the two lugs of the swing motor 2 is screwed with the support device 4, and the other of the two lugs is clamped with the support device 4.
By the arrangement, compared with the screw connection of the two support lugs of the swing blade motor 2 and the support device 4, the screw connection structure can reduce the screwing of one screw during installation, simplify the assembly process and improve the assembly efficiency. In addition, when the swing vane motor 2 operates, the motor shaft rotates to generate reverse torsional stress, the reverse torsional stress acts on the joint of the support lug and the support device 4, and compared with the situation that two support lugs of the swing vane motor 2 are clamped with the support device 4, as one support lug is in threaded connection with the support device 4, the joint can bear the reverse torsional stress, and therefore the connection strength is higher.
In an alternative example of the present invention, the supporting portion 41 is a hollow cylinder, the swing blade motor 2 is accommodated inside the hollow cylinder, and the first support lug 21 and the second support lug 22 are both attached to the end surface of the hollow cylinder. Wherein, the stud 42 and the clamping part can be formed on the outer wall of the hollow column body, and the stud 42 extends along the central axis of the hollow column body. Illustratively, the locking part may be a locking pillar, and a protrusion is provided on a surface of the locking pillar opposite to the second lug 22, and the protrusion is locked with the second lug 22. When the swing blade motor 2 is installed, the swing blade motor 2 is pushed into the hollow column from one end of the hollow column, and the first lug 21 is aligned with the stud 42, and the second lug 22 is aligned with the protrusion on the clamping column; the swinging vane motor 2 is pushed continuously to make the second lug 22 clamped with the projection, and then the first lug 21 is screwed with the stud 42. Of course, the stud 42 and the locking portion may be formed on the end surface of the hollow cylindrical body, which is not limited in this embodiment.
The hollow cylinder may have a regular shape such as a cylindrical shape or a prismatic shape, or may have another irregular shape. Preferably, the cross section of the hollow cylinder along the central axis thereof is the same as the shape of the swing motor 2, and the size of the cross section is the same as the size of the swing motor 2, so that the swing motor 2 can be stably accommodated in the hollow cylinder.
Fig. 6 is a schematic connection diagram of a support device, a swing vane motor and a swing vane link in an air conditioner indoor unit according to an embodiment of the present invention. In another alternative example of the present invention, as shown in fig. 5 and 6, the support portion 41 is in a semi-closed state. Therefore, compared with the previous alternative mode, the support part 41 can not only support the swing blade motor 2, but also the open part of the support part 41 can be used for the heat dissipation of the swing blade motor 2, so that the influence of the dissipated heat on the working performance of the swing blade motor 2 is avoided.
It is understood that the support portion 41 may be an arc-shaped portion such that the support portion 41 surrounds the arc-shaped portion of the swing vane motor 2; alternatively, the support portion 41 may be an arc-shaped portion, and a rectangular groove is formed in the middle of the arc-shaped portion in a direction away from the central axis, so that the support portion 41 surrounds the rectangular portion of the vane motor 2.
The stud 42 is provided at one end of the support 41, and the locking part is provided at the other end of the support 41. Illustratively, the stud 42 extends along the central axis of the support 41 to a width that occupies the entire support 41. Therefore, the stud 42 has high strength, and particularly, one of the two support lugs of the swing blade motor 2 is in threaded connection with the support device 4, and the other of the two support lugs is in clamping connection with the support device 4, so that the stud 42 can bear high reverse torsional stress.
Illustratively, the locking part may be a locking arm 43, and a locking space for locking the second lug 22 of the swing blade motor 2 is formed between the locking arm 43 and the end surface of the supporting part 41; the latch arm 43 has a free end. During installation, the swing blade motor 2 is accommodated into the supporting portion 41 from the open portion thereof, and the second lug 22 is clamped in the clamping space, so that the installation of the swing blade motor 2 is realized. In this way, compared with the case where the locking part is a locking post and the swing blade motor 2 is mounted inside the support part 41 from one end of the support part 41, the risk of interference between the swing blade motor 2 and a stopper 45 (described below) provided on the end surface of the support part 41 during mounting can be reduced, so that mounting is easier. It can be understood that the open part of the support part 41 can be passed by the swing blade motor 2, so that the swing blade motor 2 can be accommodated inside the support part 41 from the open part.
The stop arm 43 is provided with a free end, so that an opening is formed on the side surface of the stop space, and the second lug 22 of the swing blade motor 2 can be clamped in the stop space through the opening. In one example, the latching arm 43 is configured to push the swing blade motor 2 toward the stud 42 and the inner wall of the support 41. Therefore, the mounting process of the swing blade motor 2 is simple. Illustratively, the latching arm 43 includes a first arm plate and a second arm plate connected to each other, one end of the first arm plate is connected to the end surface of the support portion 41 and extends in a direction parallel to the central axis of the support portion 41, the second arm plate extends in a direction perpendicular to the central axis of the support portion 41, and a free end of the second arm plate (i.e., an end of the second arm plate facing away from the first arm plate) extends toward the stud 42, or the free end of the second arm plate faces the same direction as the open portion of the support portion 41. During installation, the swing blade motor 2 is adjusted in advance, so that the second support lug 22 of the swing blade motor 2 is substantially aligned with the opening of the clamping space, then the swing blade motor 2 is pushed to be close to the inner wall of the supporting part 41 from the opening part of the supporting part 41, the second support lug 22 is clamped with the clamping space, and then the first support lug 21 and the stud 42 are connected, so that the swing blade motor 2 is fixed and installed.
In another example, the non-free end of the latching arm 43 extends toward the free end of the latching arm 43 in a direction that opens away from the support 41. That is, the opening direction of the locking space is opposite to the opening direction of the support portion 41. Schematically, as shown in fig. 5, the free end of the second arm plate is oriented opposite to the open portion of the support portion 41. In the installation process of the swing blade motor 2 in this embodiment, a part of the second lug 22 of the swing blade motor 2 is firstly placed in the clamping space, and then the swing blade motor 2 is rotated, so that the swing blade motor 2 turns to the stud 42 and the inner wall of the supporting portion 41 from the opening portion of the supporting portion 41, and the second lug 22 is slowly screwed into the clamping space until the second lug 22 is completely clamped with the clamping space, at this time, the first lug 21 aligns with the stud 42, and then the first lug 21 and the stud 42 are connected through a screw, so that the swing blade motor 2 is fixed.
With the above arrangement, in the semi-closed support portion 41, since the opening direction of the locking space is opposite to the opening direction of the support portion 41, after the swing blade motor 2 is connected to the support portion 41, even if the second lug 22 is released from the locking space, the swing blade motor 2 is difficult to be separated from the open portion of the support portion 41, so that the connection of the swing blade motor 2 is more reliable.
In addition to the above embodiment, the support portion 41 is connected with the connecting plate 44 extending away from the central axis direction of the support portion 41. By arranging the connecting plate 44, the connecting plate 44 is connected with the shell 1 of the air conditioner internal unit 100, so that the supporting device 4 is connected on the shell 1, and the supporting device 4 is convenient to mount. The connecting plate 44 may be connected to the housing 1 by screws, for example, the connecting plate 44 is provided with a mounting through hole, the housing 1 is provided with a threaded hole, and the screws are screwed with the threaded hole after passing through the mounting through hole. It can be understood that the connecting plate 44 can extend towards both ends away from the central axis of the supporting portion 41, so that the supporting portion 41 is located at the middle position of the connecting plate 44, and compared with the supporting portion 41 arranged at one end of the connecting plate 44, one end of the connecting plate 44 can be prevented from bearing the weight of the swing vane motor 2 alone. Of course, the connection plate 44 may also be connected to the housing 1 by welding or clamping.
Further, a reinforcing rib is connected to the outer wall of the connecting plate 44 and the supporting portion 41. Thus, the rib can support the support portion 41 to improve the strength of the support portion 41. Illustratively, when the supporting portion 41 is a hollow cylinder and the connecting plate 44 extends to two ends of the central axis direction away from the supporting portion 41, two ends of the connecting plate 44 and the outer wall of the hollow cylinder are both connected with a reinforcing rib.
With reference to fig. 3, 5 and 6, in some examples of the present invention, a limiting block 45 is disposed on an end surface of the supporting portion 41, and a limiting groove 451 for limiting the swing link 3 is disposed on the limiting block 45. Therefore, the rotation angle of the swing blade connecting rod 3 can be limited by arranging the limiting block 45, and the swing angle of the swing blade 11 can be further limited, so that the air supply area of the air conditioner indoor unit 100 is limited.
Specifically, a limit flange 31 is disposed at one end of the swing link 3 connected to the motor shaft of the swing motor 2, a notch 32 is disposed on the limit flange 31, and the limit block 45 is received in the notch 32. Therefore, when the air conditioner indoor unit 100 is started, the swing blade motor 2 operates, the motor shaft rotates clockwise to drive the swing blade connecting rod 3 to rotate clockwise, and the swing blade 11 swings along with the clockwise rotation; until one side wall of the notch 32 of the limiting flange 31 abuts against one end of the limiting block 45, the limiting block 45 blocks the swing blade connecting rod 3 so that the swing blade connecting rod cannot rotate clockwise continuously, at the moment, the swing blade 11 swings to the limit position, and therefore the limitation on the rotation angle of the swing blade connecting rod 3 is achieved. It can be understood that when the motor shaft rotates counterclockwise, the motion process is opposite to the motion process of the motor shaft rotating clockwise, and the description thereof is omitted.
Further, the side wall of the stopper groove 451 remote from the support portion 41 may abut against the outer side wall of the stopper flange 31. From this, stopper 45 has the effect of card stop to swing leaf connecting rod 3, further improves the stability of being connected of swing leaf connecting rod 3 and swing leaf motor 2. It should be noted that, during installation, the swing blade connecting rod 3 is connected with the motor shaft of the swing blade motor 2, then the swing blade motor 2 is connected with the supporting device 4, and then the swing blade assembly composed of the two supporting devices 4, the two swing blade motors 2, the two swing blade connecting rods 3 and the swing blades 11 is connected with the casing 1 of the air conditioner internal unit 100.
On the basis of the above embodiment, referring to fig. 5, the supporting device 4 has a completely symmetrical structure, and the plane of symmetry of the supporting device 4 is perpendicular to the central axis of the supporting portion 41. Illustratively, two end surfaces of the supporting portion 41 are respectively provided with one latching arm 43 and one stopper 45, the two latching arms 43 are symmetrical with respect to a plane perpendicular to the central axis of the supporting portion 41, and the two stoppers 45 are also symmetrical with respect to the plane.
Through the arrangement, the supporting device 4 is of a completely symmetrical structure, and when the air conditioner indoor unit 100 is an on-hook air conditioner, the supporting device 4 can be matched with the swing blade motor 2 at the left end of the swing blade 11 and can also be matched with the swing blade motor 2 at the right end of the swing blade 11; when the air conditioner indoor unit 100 is a vertical air conditioner indoor unit, the support device 4 can be matched with the swing blade motor 2 at the upper end of the swing blade 11 and can also be matched with the swing blade motor 2 at the lower end of the swing blade 11; in short, the support device 4 can be universal.
Therefore, on one hand, when the blade swinging motor is installed, the supporting device 4 matched with the blade swinging motor is not required to be specially distinguished according to the installation position of the blade swinging motor 2, so that the trouble is saved, and the installation efficiency is high; on the other hand, because the supporting device 4 can be used universally, only one mold can be prepared during processing, the processing is convenient, and the cost is saved.
In summary, the air conditioner indoor unit 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention includes the support portion 41. The support portion 41 is disposed so as to surround at least a part of the vane motor 2 around the motor axis of the vane motor 2, and the support portion 41 is provided with a stud 42 for screwing with the first lug 21 of the vane motor 2 and a locking portion engageable with or disengageable from the second lug 22 of the vane motor 2. Through the arrangement, the first support lug 21 of the swing blade motor 2 is in threaded connection with the support device 4, the second support lug 22 is in clamped connection with the support device 4, and compared with the two support lugs of the swing blade motor 2 which are in threaded connection with the support device 4, the screw screwing of one screw can be reduced during installation, the assembly process is simplified, and the assembly efficiency is improved.
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.
