Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of air conditioners, and in particular to an air conditioner. Background Art

[0002] At present, the windless function of floor-standing air conditioners is usually achieved by setting a vertical air guide plate or wind shield at the air outlet, and setting multiple micro holes on it. When the vertical air guide plate or wind shield blocks the air outlet, the air is discharged through the micro holes on the vertical air guide plate or wind shield, thereby achieving the windless function. However, when the air conditioner is in the windless mode, the air outlet of the air conditioner will be reduced due to the obstruction of the vertical air guide plate or wind shield, so that the cooling capacity of the air conditioner will be greatly reduced. If the cooling capacity of the air conditioner in the windless state is to be improved, the area of ​​the air outlet needs to be further increased to increase the air outlet.

[0003] The current size of the air outlet of floor-standing air conditioners has increased to 160mm, and the proportion of the air outlet to the entire panel is already very large.

[0048] The realization of the purpose, functional features and advantages of the present invention will be further explained in conjunction with embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0049] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0050] It should be noted that if the embodiments of the present invention involve directional indications (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.), the directional indications are only used to explain the relative position relationship, movement status, etc. between the components under a certain specific posture (as shown in the accompanying drawings). If the specific posture changes, the directional indication will also change accordingly.

[0051] In addition, if there are descriptions involving "first", "second", etc. in the embodiments of the present invention, the descriptions of "first", "second", etc. are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, the features defined as "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of the features. In addition, if the meaning of "and / or" appearing in the full text is to include three parallel schemes, taking "A and / or B" as an example, it includes scheme A, or scheme B, or a scheme that satisfies both A and B. In addition, the technical solutions between the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but it must be based on the ability of ordinary technicians in this field to implement. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be deemed that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection required by the present invention.

[0052] The present invention proposes an embodiment of an air conditioner. The windless function of the current air conditioner is usually achieved by setting a vertical air guide plate or wind shield at the air outlet, and setting a plurality of micro holes on the upper side. When the vertical air guide plate or wind shield blocks the air outlet, the air is discharged through the micro holes on the vertical air guide plate or wind shield, thereby achieving the windless function. However, when the air conditioner is in the windless mode, the air outlet of the air conditioner will be reduced due to the obstruction of the vertical air guide plate or wind shield, thereby greatly reducing the cooling capacity of the air conditioner. If the cooling capacity of the air conditioner in the windless state is to be improved, the area of ​​the air outlet needs to be further increased to increase the air outlet.

[0053] The current air outlet size of the air conditioner has increased to 160mm, and the air outlet accounts for a very large proportion of the entire panel. Since space for the door must be reserved inside the air conditioner body, it is very difficult to further increase the size of the air outlet while ensuring that the volume of the entire machine does not increase. It is difficult to increase the cooling capacity of the air conditioner in the windless mode by increasing the area of ​​the air outlet. On the other hand, an excessively large air outlet size also affects the appearance of the entire machine.

[0054] See also Figures 1 to 12 In one embodiment of the present invention, the air conditioner 10 includes a housing 100, an air guide assembly 200 and a baffle 300; the housing 100 has an air inlet 121 and an air outlet 111; the air outlet 111 includes a main air outlet 111a extending in the up-down direction and an auxiliary air outlet 111b arranged on at least one side in the width direction of the main air outlet 111a; the air guide assembly 200 is arranged at the main air outlet, and the air guide assembly 200 includes at least one air guide plate 210, and a plurality of first air outlet holes 211 are arranged on the air guide plate 210 (see Fig.13 ); the baffle 300 is disposed at the auxiliary air outlet 111b, and a plurality of second air outlet holes 310 are disposed on the baffle 300 (see Fig.14 ); the air guide component 200 has a wind guiding state and a closed state. When the air guide component 200 is in the wind guiding state, the airflow is guided by the air guide plate 210 and blown out from the main air outlet 111a; when the air guide component 200 is in the closed state, the airflow passes through the first air outlet 211 and / or the second air outlet 310 and is blown out from the main air outlet 111a and / or the auxiliary air outlet 111b.

[0055] Specifically, the shape of the housing 100 can be rectangular, circular, polygonal, combined, or irregular, and can be selected and designed according to actual use requirements, and no specific limitation is made thereto. The housing 100 includes a front housing 110, a rear housing 120, an upper cover 130, and a base 140, and the front housing 110, the rear housing 120, the upper cover 130, and the base 140 enclose an installation space for installing the internal components of the air conditioner 10 (e.g., a heat exchanger 910, a wind wheel 920, a drive device, etc.). An air inlet 121 and an air outlet 111 are provided on the housing 100, and the air inlet 121 and the air outlet 111 both extend in the vertical direction, that is, extend in the up-down direction, and the number of the air outlets 111 is set to at least two, one of which is a main air outlet 111a, and the other is an auxiliary air outlet 111b provided on one side of the width direction of the main air outlet 111a, and the width direction of the main air outlet 111a here can be understood as the left-right direction. It should be noted that the aforementioned up-down direction refers to the direction perpendicular to the horizontal plane after the air conditioner 10 is placed on the horizontal ground, that is, the vertical direction, and the left-right direction refers to the width direction of the air conditioner 10 when it faces the user after the air conditioner 10 is installed indoors. The air guide assembly 200 is arranged at the main air outlet 111a, and the air guide assembly 200 includes a plurality of air guide plates 210 arranged at intervals. The plurality of air guide plates 210 can extend in the up-down direction or in the left-right direction, and there is no specific limitation on this.

[0056] The air guide plate 210 is in the shape of a long strip, and a plurality of first air outlet holes 211 are provided on the air guide plate 210 (see Fig.13 ), the first plurality of air outlet holes 211 are used to discharge air. The first plurality of air outlet holes 211 are arranged at intervals on the air guide plate 210. It should be noted that the first air outlet holes 211 are micro holes for discharging air, not large air holes.

[0057] Similarly, a baffle plate 300 is also provided at the auxiliary air outlet 111b, and a plurality of second air outlet holes 310 are provided on the baffle plate 300 (see Fig.14 ), a plurality of second air outlet holes 310 are used to discharge air, and the plurality of second air outlet holes 310 are arranged at intervals on the baffle plate 300, and the second air outlet holes 310 are also micro holes for discharging air, not large-area through holes. The first air outlet holes 211 and the second air outlet holes 310 are both used to achieve the windless function of the air conditioner to prevent cold air from blowing directly on the user.

[0058] See also Figures 6 to 8 ,as well as Figure 11 to Figure 12 The wind guide assembly 200 has a wind guiding state and a closed state. When the wind guide assembly 200 is in the wind guiding state, if the number of the wind guide plate 210 is one, the airflow is guided by the wind guide plate 210 and blown out from the main air outlet 111a. If the number of the wind guide plates 210 is multiple (two or more), the multiple wind guide plates 210 of the wind guide assembly 200 are moved to be roughly parallel to the flow direction of the airflow to minimize the resistance of the wind guide plates 210 to the airflow, so that the airflow can be blown out from between any two adjacent wind guide plates 210. Blow out through the gap; when the air guide component 200 is in the closed state, the multiple air guide plates 210 in the air guide component 200 can be overlapped together end to end in sequence to ensure that the airflow does not flow out from the gap between two adjacent air guide plates 210, or the multiple air guide plates 210 can be overlapped together end to end in sequence to ensure that the airflow does not flow out from the gap between two adjacent air guide plates 210. At this time, the airflow passes through the first air outlet 211 and / or the second air outlet 310 and is blown out from the main air outlet 111a and / or the auxiliary air outlet 111b.

[0059] Specifically in this embodiment, a plurality of air guide plates 210 are overlapped end to end in sequence to avoid the drawback that due to the dimensional error of the air guide plates 210 in the production process, the air flow can still flow out from the gap between two adjacent air guide plates 210 after the air guide plates 210 are installed on the indoor unit of the air conditioner. Furthermore, the overlap length between any two adjacent air guide plates 210 does not exceed one-half of the width of the air guide plates 210 themselves, so as to ensure that there is enough space between the two adjacent air guide plates 210 for the air flow to flow out, ensure the air output of the air conditioner 10 in the normal air output mode, and also avoid the installation trouble and high cost caused by too many air guide plates 210.

[0060] When the air guide assembly 200 is in the air guide state, a strong airflow is blown out directly from the main air outlet under the guidance of the air guide plate 210. At this time, the air conditioner 10 is in the normal air outlet mode, and the airflow is a large air volume. When the air guide assembly 200 is in the closed state, the main air outlet 111a is blocked by the air guide plate 210, and the wind pressure at the main air outlet 111a increases. In addition to being blown out through the multiple first air outlet holes 211, part of the airflow will be blown out through the multiple second air outlet holes 310. At this time, the air outlet holes for windless air outlet include the multiple first air outlet holes 211 on the air guide strip and the multiple second air outlet holes 310 located on the baffle 300. The air outlet area of ​​the air conditioner 10 in the windless state is greatly increased, so that the windless ability is correspondingly improved, and the cooling capacity of the air conditioner 10 in the windless state is improved.

[0061] The technical solution of the present invention is to set the air outlet 111 on the housing 100 as a main air outlet 111a extending in the up-down direction and an auxiliary air outlet 111b arranged on at least one side in the width direction of the main air outlet 111a, set the air guide assembly 200 at the main air outlet, and set the baffle 300 at the auxiliary air outlet 111b, wherein the air guide assembly 200 includes a plurality of air guide plates 210, a plurality of first air outlet holes 211 are arranged on the plurality of air guide plates 210, and a plurality of second air outlet holes 310 are arranged on the baffle 300; the air guide assembly 200 has an air guiding state and a closed state, when the When the air guide assembly 200 is in the closed state, the wind pressure at the main air outlet 111a increases due to the obstruction of the air guide plate 210. In addition to being blown out through the multiple first air outlet holes 211, part of the air flow will be blown out through the multiple second air outlet holes 310. At this time, the air outlet holes used for windless air outlet include the multiple first air outlet holes 211 on the air guide strip and the multiple second air outlet holes 310 located on the baffle 300. The air outlet area of ​​the air conditioner 10 in the windless state is greatly increased, so that the windless capacity is correspondingly improved, and the cooling capacity of the air conditioner 10 in the windless state is improved.

[0062] See also Figures 2 to 12 In one embodiment, the air conditioner 10 further includes an air outlet frame 400, the shell 100 has a main air duct 11 connecting the air inlet 121 and the air outlet 111, the air outlet frame 400 is arranged in the main air duct 11, the air outlet frame 400 has a first auxiliary air duct 12 connected to the main air duct 11, the main air duct 11 corresponds to the main air outlet 111a, and the first auxiliary air duct 12 corresponds to the auxiliary air outlet 111b; the air guide component 200 is movably connected to the air outlet frame 400 and is arranged corresponding to the main air outlet 111a.

[0063] Specifically, the air outlet frame 400 is installed in the housing 100, and other components in the housing 100 (such as the heat exchanger 910, the wind wheel 920, etc.) construct a main air duct 11 and a first auxiliary air duct 12. The main air duct 11 is arranged opposite to the main air outlet 111a, and the airflow in the main air duct 11 will be blown out from the main air outlet 111a, and will not flow out from the auxiliary air outlet 111b. The first auxiliary air duct 12 is arranged opposite to the auxiliary air outlet 111b, and the airflow in the first auxiliary air duct 12 will be blown out from the auxiliary air outlet 111b, and will not flow out from the main air outlet 111a. It should be noted that the first auxiliary air duct 12 is an independent air duct connected to the main air duct 11, and it is only arranged corresponding to one auxiliary air outlet 111b. The air guide assembly 200 is movably connected to the air outlet frame 400, and it can be rotatable relative to the air outlet frame 400, or it can be movable relative to the air outlet frame 400, and there is no specific limitation on this. The first auxiliary air duct 12 is connected to the main air duct 11, and it can be always connected, or a damper can be set at the air duct entrance of the first auxiliary air duct 12 to isolate the main air duct 11 from the first auxiliary air duct 12.

[0064] See also Figures 4 to 12 Furthermore, the plurality of air guide plates 210 are arranged at intervals along the width direction of the main air outlet 111a, and the plurality of air guide plates 210 are rotatably connected to the air outlet frame 400 to adjust the direction of the airflow blown out through the main air outlet 111a.

[0065] Specifically, the plurality of air guide plates 210 of the air guide assembly 200 are arranged at intervals along the width direction of the main air outlet 111a, and are rotatably connected to the air outlet frame 400, and are switched between the air guide state and the closed state by the rotation of the plurality of air guide plates 210. Similarly, the air guide plates 210 can also be opened from the closed state to a position at any angle and stop, and can also be continuously cyclically rotated relative to the air outlet frame 400 to adjust the direction of the airflow blowing out in the left and right directions from the air guide assembly 200.

[0066] Please continue reading Figures 4 to 12In one embodiment, the air conditioner 10 further includes a louver assembly 500, which includes a plurality of blades (not shown in the figure) arranged at intervals along the length direction of the main air outlet 111a, and the plurality of blades are movably connected to the air outlet frame 400 and are located upstream of the air guide assembly 200 to adjust the direction of the airflow blown out through the main air outlet 111a.

[0067] Specifically, the air guide assembly 200 can be used to adjust the left and right direction of the airflow blown out from the main air outlet 111a, and the shutter assembly 500 can be used to adjust the up and down direction of the airflow blown out from the main air outlet 111a. The shutter assembly 500 includes a plurality of blades arranged at intervals along the length direction of the main air outlet 111a, that is, the up and down direction, and the plurality of blades are rotatably connected to the air outlet frame 400 to adjust the direction of the airflow. On the flow path of the airflow flowing from the air inlet 121 to the air outlet 111, the shutter assembly 500 is arranged upstream of the air guide assembly 200, and the position of the air guide assembly 200 can be further arranged closer to the air outlet 111, so that the air duct inlet of the corresponding first auxiliary air duct 12 can be arranged closer to the front shell 110, shortening the length of the first auxiliary air duct 12. Of course, in other embodiments, the shutter assembly 500 can also be arranged downstream of the air guide assembly 200.

[0068] See also Figure 2 In one embodiment, the housing 100 includes a front housing 110 and a rear housing 120, and the baffle 300 is integrally formed with the front housing 110. This design can avoid the trouble of assembling the baffle 300 and the front housing 110, further improving the production efficiency. At the same time, there is no need to set up a separate mold for producing the baffle 300, which reduces the design of the mold and reduces the cost.

[0069] Of course, in other embodiments, the baffle 300 may also be disposed separately from the front housing 110, see Figure 3, for example, the baffle 300 is detachably mounted at the auxiliary air outlet 111b. Specifically, at this time, the baffle 300 is installed at the auxiliary air outlet 111b as an independent component. Usually, the material of the front shell 110 is a hard material such as ABS, HIPS, PP, PC, etc., and the baffle 300 is an independent component. Since it is often impacted by airflow, in order to ensure its structural strength and avoid damage to the baffle 300 due to long-term airflow impact, the baffle 300 can be made of metal material to further increase its structural strength. The baffle 300 is detachably mounted at the auxiliary air outlet 111b. It can be detachably connected to the front shell 110 directly by screws, or it can be detachably connected to the front shell 110 by a snap-on structure. The baffle 300 can also be detachably mounted at the auxiliary air outlet 111b by other methods, and there is no specific limitation on this.

[0070] Furthermore, the air conditioner 10 further includes a mounting bracket 600, the baffle 300 is mounted on the mounting bracket 600, and the mounting bracket 600 is detachably mounted at the auxiliary air outlet 111b. The baffle 300 of the present invention is indirectly detachably mounted at the auxiliary air outlet 111b through a mounting bracket 600, and the baffle 300 is mounted at the auxiliary air outlet 111b through the mounting bracket 600, which can further improve the stability of the baffle 300 installed at the auxiliary air outlet 111b.

[0071] See also Figures 4 to 12 In one embodiment, the air conditioner 10 further includes a switch door 700, which is movably disposed at the main air outlet 111a to open or close the main air outlet 111a. Specifically, the housing 100 is provided with a main air outlet 111a for most of the airflow to be discharged, and the switch door 700 is movable relative to the main air outlet 111a to open or close the main air outlet 111a to achieve airflow out of the main air outlet 111a. The switch door 700 is generally arc-shaped and plate-shaped, and is adapted to the shape of the main air outlet 111a. A switch door 700 driving device is also disposed in the housing 100, and the switch door 700 driving device is connected to the switch door 700 to drive the switch door 700 to move. Preferably, the number of the door opening and closing 700 driving devices is set to two, and the two door opening and closing 700 driving devices are respectively arranged on the upper and lower opposite sides of the door opening and closing 700 to ensure the stability of the door opening and closing 700 when performing the opening and closing action.

[0072] See also Figures 10 to 12In one embodiment, a receiving position 150 is formed in the shell 100, and the receiving position 150 is formed on the outer side of the air outlet frame 400, that is, the side of the air outlet frame 400 away from the first auxiliary air duct 12, and the switch door 700 can be moved in or out of the receiving position 150.

[0073] Specifically, the switch door 700 is configured to move from the inside of the housing 100 to open or close the main air outlet 111a when the switch door 700 is opened. Therefore, sufficient space should be reserved in the housing 100 for accommodating the switch door 700 after the switch door 700 opens the main air outlet 111a. When the air conditioner 10 has only one auxiliary air outlet 111b, since a first auxiliary air duct 12 is formed in the housing 100 corresponding to the auxiliary air outlet 111b, in order to avoid the switch action of the switch door 700 interfering with the first auxiliary air duct 12, the accommodation position 150 is set on the side of the air outlet frame 400 away from the first auxiliary air duct 12.

[0074] See also Figures 4 to 9 In another embodiment, two auxiliary air outlets 111b are provided, and the two auxiliary air outlets 111b are respectively arranged on opposite sides of the main air outlet 111a; the shell 100 also has a second auxiliary air duct 13 connected to the main air duct 11, and the first auxiliary air duct 12 and the second auxiliary air duct 13 correspond to the two auxiliary air outlets 111b respectively.

[0075] Specifically, the number of the auxiliary air outlets 111b is set to two, and correspondingly, two auxiliary air ducts should be set and correspond to the two auxiliary air outlets 111b respectively, so as to guide the airflow to flow out through the auxiliary air outlets 111b. When the air conditioner 10 is in the windless air outlet mode, the airflow can be discharged from the main air outlet 111a and the auxiliary air outlets 111b located on the opposite sides of the main air outlet 111a at the same time, that is, from the multiple first air outlet holes 211 and the multiple second air outlet holes 310 on the two baffles 300 located on the opposite sides of the main air outlet 111a, further increasing the air outlet area of ​​the air conditioner 10 in the windless state, so that the windless ability is correspondingly improved, and the cooling capacity of the air conditioner 10 in the windless state is increased. Similarly, the second auxiliary air duct 13 is connected to the main air duct 11, which can be always connected, or a damper can be set at the air duct entrance of the second auxiliary air duct 13 to isolate the main air duct 11 from the second auxiliary air duct 13.

[0076] See also Figure 5 and Figure 7In one embodiment, the air conditioner 10 includes a first duct side wall 810 and a second duct side wall 820 forming the second auxiliary air duct 13, the first duct side wall 810 has a first gap 813, and the second duct side wall 820 has a second gap 823; when the switch door 700 opens the main air outlet 111a, the first gap 813 and the second gap 823 can be passed through.

[0077] Specifically, when the number of the auxiliary air outlets 111b is set to two, two auxiliary air ducts should be provided and correspond to the two auxiliary air outlets 111b respectively, so as to guide the airflow to flow out through the auxiliary air outlets 111b. When the switch door 700 opens the main air outlet 111a, that is, when the switch door 700 moves out of the main air outlet 111a, it is bound to interfere with any one of the two auxiliary air ducts. Therefore, on the first air duct side wall 810 and the second air duct side wall 820 forming the second auxiliary air duct 13, a first gap 813 and a second gap 823 are provided respectively, so as to allow the switch door 700 to pass through when opening the main air outlet 111a.

[0078] Furthermore, the air conditioner 10 includes a first connecting member 811, a second connecting member 821, a third connecting member 812 and a fourth connecting member 822, the first connecting member 811 and the second connecting member 821 are connected to the air outlet frame 400, the third connecting member 812 and the fourth connecting member 822 are arranged on opposite sides of the auxiliary air outlet 111b, the third connecting member 812 corresponds to the first connecting member 811 and forms the first gap 813, and the fourth connecting member 822 corresponds to the second connecting member 821 and forms the second gap 823; wherein, at least one of the first connecting member 811 and the third connecting member 812 is set to a flexible material, and at least one of the second connecting member 821 and the fourth connecting member 822 is set to a flexible material.

[0079] Specifically, the first connecting member 811 and the second connecting member 821 are connected to the air outlet frame 400, and they can be connected by bonding or other methods, and there is no specific limitation on this. The third connecting member 812 and the fourth connecting member 822 are arranged on opposite sides of the auxiliary air outlet 111b, and they can be directly connected to the inner surface of the front shell 110, or connected to the mounting bracket 600, or directly connected to the inner wall surface of the baffle 300, as long as they are located on opposite sides of the auxiliary air outlet 111b and can be enclosed with the first connecting member 811 and the second connecting member 821 to form the second auxiliary air duct 13. As for the specific connection method of the third connecting member 812 and the fourth connecting member 822, they can be connected by bonding or other methods, and there is no specific limitation on this.

[0080] It should be taken into consideration that if the first gap 813 and the second gap 823 are too large, part of the airflow will flow out from the first gap 813 and the second gap 823, affecting the air volume of the auxiliary air outlet 111b corresponding to the second auxiliary air duct 13. Therefore, at least one of the first connecting member 811 and the third connecting member 812 can be optionally set to a flexible material, and at least one of the second connecting member 821 and the fourth connecting member 822 can be optionally set to a flexible material. With such arrangement, when the switch door 700 passes through the first gap 813, one of the first connecting member 811 and the third connecting member 812 is deformed, and after the switch door 700 completely passes through the first gap 813, one of the first connecting member 811 and the third connecting member 812 returns to its original state. Similarly, when the switch door 700 passes through the second gap 823, one of the second connecting member 821 and the fourth connecting member 822 is deformed, and after the switch door 700 completely passes through the second gap 823, one of the second connecting member 821 and the fourth connecting member 822 returns to its original state. In this way, the distance between the first connecting member 811 and the third connecting member 812, and the distance between the second connecting member 821 and the fourth connecting member 822 can be made closer, so that the distance between the first gap 813 and the second gap 823 is smaller, and a large amount of airflow will not flow out from the first gap 813 or the second gap 823 to affect the air output of the auxiliary air outlet 111b.

[0081] See also Figure 5 and Figure 7 In one embodiment, the first connecting member 811, the third connecting member 812 and the fourth connecting member 822 are made of rubber material, and the second connecting member 821 is made of hard material. When the switch door 700 opens the main air outlet 111a, the switch door 700 abuts against the second connecting member 821 and the fourth connecting member 822.

[0082] Specifically, the first connecting member 811, the third connecting member 812 and the fourth connecting member 822 can all be made of flexible rubber material, so as to ensure that the airflow will not flow out from the first gap 813 and the second gap 823 after the switch door 700 passes through the first gap 813 and the second gap 823 through its own elastic deformation. At the same time, the material of the second connecting member 821 is a hard material, which can be directly integrated with the air outlet frame 400. When the switch door 700 opens the main air outlet 111a and moves to the accommodating space, in order to reasonably utilize the space in the housing 100, the switch door 700 can be set to only pass through the first gap 813, and at least partially be located in the second gap 823, and abut against the second connecting member 821 and the fourth connecting member 822.

[0083] See also Figure 7Furthermore, both sides of the switch door 700 in the width direction are provided with a stopper 710 toward the air outlet frame 400, and when the switch door 700 opens the main air outlet 111a, the stopper 710 abuts against the second connecting member 821. Specifically, since the second connecting member 821 is made of a hard material, in order to ensure the sealing between the switch door 700 and the second connecting member 821 when the switch door 700 passes through the second gap 823, the stopper 710 is provided on both sides of the switch door 700 in the width direction toward the air outlet frame 400, and the stopper 710 abuts against the second connecting member 821 to ensure that the airflow does not flow out from the gap between the two. At the same time, the stopper 710 can also limit the position of the switch door 700.

[0084] See also Figures 4 to 9 In one embodiment, the air conditioner 10 further includes a heat exchanger 910 and a wind wheel 920. The heat exchanger 910 is arranged corresponding to the air inlet 121 and is semi-enclosed on the outside of the wind wheel 920. The air outlet side of the wind wheel 920 is arranged corresponding to the air inlet side of the air outlet frame 400.

[0085] Specifically, the heat exchanger 910 is used to perform heat exchange on the airflow passing through it, and the wind wheel 920 applies power to the airflow flowing in from the air inlet 121, and passes through the air outlet frame 400 and flows out from the air outlet 111. As for the type of the wind wheel 920, the wind wheel 920 can be any one of a centrifugal wind wheel 920, a crossflow wind wheel 920 and an axial flow wind wheel 920. In this embodiment, the wind wheel 920 adopts a crossflow wind wheel 920. As for the number of the crossflow wind wheels 920, the crossflow wind wheels 920 can be set to one or more (a plurality includes two and more than two), and there is no specific limitation on this. An electric heater 930 can also be set between the heat exchanger 910 and the wind wheel 920 to improve the heating effect of the air conditioner 10 in the heating mode.

[0086] It is worth mentioning that the position of the baffle 300 relative to the auxiliary air outlet 111b is fixed. Specifically, when the baffle 300 is installed at the auxiliary air outlet 111b, the position of the baffle 300 relative to the micro air outlet 111 is fixed, and the baffle 300 itself cannot rotate or move, and the baffle 300 itself cannot adjust the flow direction of the airflow blown out through the plurality of second air outlets 310 by moving relative to the auxiliary air outlet 111b. Of course, with respect to the flow direction of the airflow, the direction of the airflow through the second air outlet 310 can be adjusted by the extension direction of the second air outlet 310 that runs through the baffle 300.

[0087] See also Fig.13 and Fig.14In one embodiment, the first air outlet 211 and / or the second air outlet 310 are long strip holes, and the long strip holes are arranged horizontally, vertically, in combination of horizontal and vertical arrangements, inclined, or in a curved shape. Specifically, the first air outlet 211 and / or the second air outlet 310 may be designed in a long strip shape, and the extension direction of the first air outlet 211 and / or the second air outlet 310 may also be horizontal, vertical, or inclined, or a combination of multiple extension directions, or may be extended in a curved shape, a wave shape, or other extension methods.

[0088] Please continue reading Fig.13 and Fig.14 In another embodiment, the first air outlet hole 211 and / or the second air outlet hole 310 may also be a circular hole, an elliptical hole, a square hole or a polygonal hole; a plurality of the first air outlet holes 211 and / or the second air outlet holes 310 are arranged in an array. Specifically, the shape of the first air outlet hole 211 and / or the second air outlet hole 310 may also be set to a circular hole, an elliptical hole, a square hole or a polygonal hole, or other special-shaped holes, without specific limitation. The arrangement may be arranged at regular intervals or at irregular intervals, without specific limitation.

[0089] It should be emphasized that the extension direction, shape, and arrangement of the first air outlet 211 and / or the second air outlet 310 are within the protection scope of the present invention as long as the airflow passing therethrough can be a breeze that does not blow directly on the user, that is, the windless function can be achieved, and no specific restrictions are imposed on this.

[0090] The air conditioner 10 of the present invention has three operating modes: a normal air outlet mode, a windless air outlet mode, and an energy-saving air outlet mode.

[0091] See also Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Fig.11When the air conditioner 10 is in the normal air outlet mode, the switch door 700 is opened and moved into the accommodating space, the air guide assembly 200 is in the air guiding state, and the wind flowing into the shell 100 from the air inlet 121 is blown out through the gap between any two adjacent air guide plates 210 of the air guide assembly 200 under the action of the wind wheel 920. It should be noted that, in the air conditioner 10 of the present invention, the main air duct 11 is always connected with the first auxiliary air duct 12 and the second auxiliary air duct 13. When the air conditioner 10 is in the normal air outlet mode, in this mode, since the air guide component 200 is in the air guiding state, the airflow sent by the wind wheel 920 to the main air outlet 111a will not be blocked by the air guide component 200, and the airflow velocity is relatively fast. In this case, under the action of the pressure difference, the airflow in the main air duct 11 will not flow to the first auxiliary air duct 12 and the second auxiliary air duct 13 to be discharged through the auxiliary air outlet 111b, even though the main air duct 11 is connected with the first auxiliary air duct 12 and the second auxiliary air duct 13.

[0092] See also Figure 8 and Fig.12 When the air conditioner 10 is in the windless air outlet mode, the switch door 700 is opened and moved into the accommodating space, the air guide assembly 200 is in a closed state, and the wind flowing into the shell 100 from the air inlet 121 is blown out from the first air outlet holes 211 on the multiple air guide plates 210 of the air guide assembly 200 under the action of the wind wheel 920. At the same time, it is also blown out from the multiple second air outlet holes 310 in the baffle 300 installed on the auxiliary air outlet 111b.

[0093] See also Fig. 9 When the air conditioner 10 is in the energy-saving air outlet mode, the switch door 700 is closed, and the switch door 700 blocks the main air outlet 111a. The wind flowing into the housing 100 from the air inlet 121 is blown out by the multiple second air outlet holes 310 in the baffle 300 installed on the auxiliary air outlet 111b under the action of the wind wheel 920. In this operating mode, the air outlet of the air conditioner 10 is small and the working power is lower, so as to achieve the effect of energy saving. It should be emphasized that since the switch door 700 closes the main air outlet 111a, the airflow entering the housing 100 cannot flow out from the main air outlet 111a, so there is no specific restriction on the state of the air guide component 200. Preferably, in order to better guide the airflow when it is blown out from the auxiliary air outlet 111b, the air guide component 200 is set to a closed state.

[0094] The present invention also provides an air conditioner, comprising an air conditioner outdoor unit and an air conditioner, wherein the air conditioner outdoor unit and the air conditioner are connected via a refrigerant pipe. The specific structure of the air conditioner refers to the above embodiment. Since the air conditioner adopts all the technical solutions of all the above embodiments, it at least has all the beneficial effects brought by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be described one by one here. Among them, the air conditioner outdoor unit and the air conditioner indoor unit are connected via a refrigerant pipe.

[0095] The above descriptions are only optional embodiments of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the patent scope of the present invention. All equivalent structural changes made using the contents of the present invention's specification and drawings, or directly / indirectly applied in other related technical fields, are included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
