Referring to fig. 6-9, the guiding mechanism 5 comprises a first guiding section 51 and a second guiding section 52, wherein the driving mechanism 4 is adapted to drive the switch door 2 to move in a first direction having a component in the direction of the central axis of the air outlet when the driving mechanism 42 is mated with the first guiding section 51. The first direction has a component in the direction of the central axis of the air outlet, and can be considered to be consistent with the direction of the central axis of the air outlet; alternatively, the first direction intersects with the central axis direction of the air outlet. When the driving mechanism 42 is matched with the first guide section 51, the driving mechanism 4 can drive the switch door 2 to move along the central axis direction of the air outlet, for example, the driving mechanism 4 can drive the switch door 2 to move along the central axis direction of the air outlet and away from the center of the casing assembly 1, and the driving mechanism 4 can also drive the switch door 2 to move along the central axis direction of the air outlet and close to the center of the casing assembly 1.

Specifically, when the driving mechanism 4 is matched with the first guide section 51, the driving mechanism 4 can drive the switch door 2 to move along the central axis direction of the air outlet and away from the center of the shell component 1, so that a certain gap is formed between the switch door 2 and the shell component 1, mutual friction between the switch door 2 and the shell component 1 is prevented when the switch door 2 moves along the circumferential direction of the shell component 1, and abrasion between the switch door 2 and the shell component 1 is avoided; when the driving mechanism 4 is matched with the second guiding section 52, the driving mechanism 4 drives the switch door 2 to move along the circumferential direction of the air outlet so as to open or close the air outlet.

Therefore, through the cooperation of the driving mechanism 4 and the first guide section 51 and the second guide section 52, the driving mechanism 4 can not only drive the switch door 2 to move along the central axis direction of the air outlet, but also drive the switch door 2 to move along the extending direction of the air outlet in the circumferential direction of the casing assembly 1, so that the air outlet is opened or closed.

In the related art, a separate driving motor is used to drive the opening and closing door to move in a direction away from the center of the housing assembly, and another driving motor is used to drive the opening and closing door to move in the circumferential direction of the housing assembly. With respect to the related art, the present application is advantageous in that the guide mechanism 5 for guiding the movement of the opening and closing door 2 is provided to include the first guide section 51 and the second guide section 52 having different guide actions, and one driving motor 41 is shared in the process of moving the opening and closing door 2 along the first guide section 51 and the second guide section 52, and the movement of the opening and closing door 2 in the above two directions is achieved by sharing one driving motor 41, which helps to reduce the number of driving motors 41, so that the structure of the driving assembly 3 is simpler, and the cost is saved.

Referring to fig. 6-9, according to some embodiments of the present utility model, the second guiding section 52 extends in an arc shape along the circumferential direction of the housing assembly 1, and the second guiding section 52 may guide the driving mechanism 4 to move the switch door 2 along the circumferential direction of the housing assembly 1; the arrangement of the extending direction of the first guide section 51 and the extending direction of the second guide section 52 with an included angle larger than zero contributes to space saving, and the driving mechanism 4 drives the switch door 2 to move towards the direction along the central axis of the air outlet, which can be smoothly performed. For example, the extending track of the second guiding section 52 may be an arc, the extending track of the first guiding section 51 may be a straight line, one end of the first guiding section 51 is connected to the second guiding section 52, and the other end of the first guiding section 51 is close to the driving motor 41.

For example, when the air outlet needs to be opened, the driving mechanism 4 is matched with the first guide section 51, and the driving mechanism 4 can drive the switch door 2 to move towards a direction away from the center of the casing assembly 1, so that the switch door 2 is separated from the casing assembly 1; then, the driving mechanism 4 is matched with the second guiding section 52, the second guiding section 52 extends in an arc, and the second guiding section 52 guides the transmission mechanism 42 to move along the extending track of the second guiding section 52, so that the transmission mechanism 42 drives the switch door 2 to move along the extending of the air outlet in the circumferential direction of the casing assembly 1, and the air outlet is opened.

For example, when the air outlet needs to be closed, the driving mechanism 4 may be first matched with the second guide section 52, the second guide section 52 extends in an arc, and the second guide section 52 guides the transmission mechanism 42 to move along the extending track of the second guide section 52, so that the transmission mechanism 42 drives the switch door 2 to move along the extending of the air outlet in the circumferential direction of the casing assembly 1; then, the driving mechanism 4 is matched with the first guiding section 51, the first guiding section 51 guides the transmission mechanism 42 to move along the extending track of the first guiding section 51, and meanwhile, the transmission mechanism 42 drives the switch door 2 to move towards the direction approaching to the center of the casing assembly 1, so that the air outlet is closed.

According to the air conditioner of the embodiment of the utility model, the guide mechanism 5 for guiding the movement of the switch door 2 is provided to comprise the first guide section 51 and the second guide section 52 with different guide functions, and the switch door 2 shares one driving motor 41 in the process of moving along the first guide section 51 and the second guide section 52, and the driving motor 41 can drive the switch door 2 to move along the central axis direction of the air outlet by matching the driving mechanism 4 with the first guide section 51; through the cooperation of drive mechanism 42 and second guide section 52, driving motor 41 can drive switch door 2 along the extending direction motion of air outlet in the circumference direction of casing subassembly 1, and the motion of above-mentioned two directions of switch door 2 is realized through sharing a driving motor 41, helps reducing the quantity of driving motor 41 like this for driving assembly 3's structure is simpler, and saves the cost.

According to some embodiments of the utility model, the first direction has components in both a central axis direction of the air outlet and in a circumferential direction of the air outlet, which is an extension direction of the air outlet in the circumferential direction of the housing assembly 1. The first direction may intersect with the central axis direction of the air outlet, and when the driving mechanism 42 is matched with the first guiding section 51, the driving mechanism 4 may drive the switch door 2 to move along the central axis direction of the air outlet, and the driving mechanism 4 may drive the switch door 2 to move along the extending direction of the air outlet in the circumferential direction of the casing assembly 1.

Referring to fig. 7, according to some embodiments of the utility model, the transmission mechanism 42 has a guide 421, where the guide 421 is engaged with the guide 5 and is movable along the guide 5, and the guide 421 is engaged with the guide 5 to guide the movement direction of the switch door 2, so as to assist in stabilizing the movement of the switch door 2. For example, when the guide 421 is engaged with the first guide section 51, the driving mechanism 4 is adapted to drive the opening and closing door 2 to move in a direction away from the center of the cabinet assembly 1; the driving mechanism 4 is adapted to drive the opening and closing door 2 to move in the circumferential direction of the cabinet assembly 1 to open and close the air outlet when the guide 421 is engaged with the second guide section 52.

Referring to fig. 7, according to some embodiments of the utility model, the connection position of the first guide section 51 and the second guide section 52 is a track-change position, wherein the switch door 2 has a closed state, an intermediate state and an open state, in which the guide 421 cooperates with the first guide section 51 and is located at the first position; in the intermediate state, the guide 421 is located at the track-change position; in the open state, the guide 421 cooperates with the second guide section 52 and is in the second position. By the cooperation of the guide member 421 and the guide mechanism 5, the guide member 421 is located at different positions of the guide mechanism 5, and the switch door 2 can be guided to be located at different positions, so that the switch door 2 is in different states. For example, the state when the door 2 is opened and closed to the air outlet may be regarded as the closed state of the door 2; the gap between the switch door 2 and the housing assembly 1 gradually increases during the movement of the switch door 2 in a direction away from the center of the housing assembly 1, and when the gap between the switch door 2 and the housing assembly 1 reaches the maximum, it can be considered as an intermediate state of the switch door 2; when the opening and closing door 2 is fully opened, and the air outlet is fully opened, this can be regarded as an opened state of the opening and closing door 2.

For example, referring to fig. 6 to 9, from a closed state to an open state of the opening and closing door 2, the guide 421 moves from a first position to a derailment position and then moves from the derailment position to a second position, thereby opening the air intake; the guide 421 moves from the second position to the track-change position from the open state to the closed state of the opening and closing door 2, and then moves from the track-change position to the first position, thereby closing the air inlet. For example, one end of the switch door 2 has a limiting end, and the outer peripheral wall of the housing assembly 1 has a limiting notch, and when the switch door 2 is in a closed state, the limiting end cooperates with the limiting notch to limit the switch door 2.

Referring to fig. 6 and 7, according to some alternative embodiments of the present utility model, the guide 421 has a rotation angle range of 5 to 15 ° during the movement from the first position to the track-change position. In the process of moving the guide member 421 from the first position to the track-changing position, the switch door 2 is moved from the closed state to the intermediate state, the guide member 421 is matched with the first guide section 51, and the driving mechanism 4 drives the switch door 2 to move along the central axis direction of the air outlet. For example, the output shaft 411 of the driving motor 41 is connected to the transmission rod 43, the transmission rod 43 is connected to the switch door 2, and the rotation angle range of the driving motor 41 is 5 to 15 °, so that the rotation angle range of the transmission rod 43 may be 5 to 15 °, and thus, the switch door 2 may move along the central axis direction of the air outlet, and at the same time, the switch door 2 may also move a certain distance along the circumferential direction of the casing assembly 1. For example, the rotation angle of the output shaft 411 of the drive motor 41 is 10 ° during the movement of the guide 421 from the first position to the track-change position.

Referring to fig. 6-9, according to some embodiments of the present utility model, the driving mechanism 4 includes a transmission mechanism 42, the transmission mechanism 42 is drivingly connected between an output shaft 411 of the driving motor 41 and the switch door 2, the transmission mechanism 42 includes a transmission rod 43, one end of the transmission rod 43 is connected to the output shaft 411, and the other end of the transmission rod 43 is connected to the switch door 2, the transmission rod 43 is disposed at an angle with the output shaft 411, and the length of the transmission rod 43 is variable. The transmission rod 43 and the output shaft 411 are arranged at an included angle, and the output shaft 411 can more effectively transmit driving force to the transmission rod 43, so that the transmission rod 43 is driven to move by the rotation of the output shaft 411, and the switch door 2 can be driven to move when the transmission rod 43 moves; by varying the length of the transmission rod 43, it is possible to realize that the guiding mechanism 5 cooperates with the transmission mechanism 42 to guide the movement of the transmission mechanism 42, thereby realizing that the switch door 2 moves in a direction away from the center of the housing assembly 1, in a simpler manner. For example, the extending direction of the transmission lever 43 may be perpendicular to the opening and closing door 2.

For example, referring to fig. 6 to 9, during the movement of the guide 421 from the first position to the track-change position, the transmission lever 43 becomes longer gradually, and the transmission lever 43 drives the opening and closing door 2 to move in a direction away from the center of the cabinet assembly 1; during the movement of the guide 421 from the track-change position to the second position, the length of the transmission rod 43 may be unchanged, and the opening and closing door 2 moves along the circumferential direction of the cabinet assembly 1 to open the air outlet. In the process that the guide piece 421 moves from the second position to the track-changing position, the length of the transmission rod 43 can be unchanged, and the transmission rod 43 drives the switch door 2 to move along the circumferential direction of the shell assembly 1; in the process that the guide member 421 moves from the track-changing position to the first position, the transmission rod 43 becomes shorter gradually, and the transmission rod 43 drives the switch door 2 to move towards the direction approaching to the center of the casing assembly 1 so as to close the air outlet.

Referring to fig. 2, according to some alternative embodiments of the present utility model, the transmission rod 43 is disposed perpendicular to the output shaft 411, and the driving force output from the output shaft 411 can be more effectively utilized. For example, the outer peripheral surface of the output shaft 411 is formed with two opposing first rotation preventing planes; one end of the transmission rod 43, which is close to the output shaft 411, is provided with a matching hole 434, a second rotation preventing plane matched with the first rotation preventing plane is formed on the inner peripheral surface of the matching hole 434, the output shaft 411 is inserted into the matching hole 434, the output shaft 411 is perpendicular to the transmission rod 43, and the rotation of the output shaft 411 can drive the transmission rod 43 to move, so that the opening and closing door 2 is driven to move.

Referring to fig. 6, according to some alternative embodiments of the present utility model, when the transmission rod 43 is engaged with the first guide section 51, the length direction of the transmission rod 43 is disposed at an angle greater than zero with respect to the extending direction of the first guide section 51. One end of the transmission rod 43 is connected with the output shaft 411, the other end of the transmission rod 43 is connected with the switch door 2, and when the output shaft 411 drives the transmission rod 43 to move, the first guide section 51 can guide the transmission rod 43 to move along the extending direction of the first guide section 51 through the arrangement that the length direction of the transmission rod 43 and the extending direction of the first guide section 51 are in an included angle larger than zero.

Referring to fig. 6-9, according to some alternative embodiments of the present utility model, the transmission rod 43 includes a first transmission rod section 431 and a second transmission rod section 432, the first transmission rod section 431 is connected with the output shaft 411, and the second transmission rod section 432 may be connected with the switch door 2. The second transmission rod section 432 is telescopically arranged on the first transmission rod section 431 along the extending direction of the first transmission rod section 431, so that the length of the transmission rod 43 is variable, and the guide mechanism 5 is matched with the second transmission rod section 432 to guide the movement of the transmission mechanism 42. The guiding mechanism 5 can guide the telescopic action of the second transmission rod section 432, so that the length of the transmission rod 43 can be changed, and the distance between the switch door 2 and the casing assembly 1 can be adjusted.

Referring to fig. 6-9, in some alternative embodiments of the utility model, the first rod segment 431 is formed with a guided movement cavity, a portion of the second rod segment 432 is located in the guided movement cavity, and another portion of the second rod segment 432 is located outside the guided movement cavity.
