[0054] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to be used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0055] The disclosure below provides many different embodiments or examples to implement different structures of the present invention. In order to simplify the disclosure of the present invention, the parts and settings of specific examples are described below. Of course, they are only examples, and the purpose is not to limit the present invention. In addition, the present invention can repeat reference numbers and / or letters in different examples. This repetition is for the purpose of simplicity and clarity, and does not itself indicate the relationship between the various embodiments and / or settings discussed. In addition, the present invention provides various specific processes and examples of materials, but those of ordinary skill in the art can be aware of the applicability of other processes and / or the use of other materials.

[0056] Hereinafter, an air conditioner 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0057] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the air conditioner 100 includes: a shell part 1, a fan part 2, an air guide part 3 and a spoiler part 4, the shell part 1 has an air supply port 11, the shell part 1 has an air supply duct 12 connected to the air supply port 11, the shell part 1 also has a spoiler duct 13 located outside the air supply duct 12, the outlet end 13b of the spoiler duct 13 is connected to the air supply duct 12, the fan part 2 includes a wind wheel 21, the wind wheel 21 is arranged in the air supply duct 12 and is located upstream of the outlet end 13b of the spoiler duct 13.

[0058] The wind wheel 21 provides a flowing airflow. It can be understood that "upstream" refers to the components that the airflow passes through first, and "downstream" refers to the components that the airflow passes through later. That is to say, the supply airflow flows out from the wind wheel 21, flows along the air supply duct 12, passes through the outlet end 13b of the turbulent duct 13, and finally flows out from the air supply port 11.

[0059] The wind guide member 3 includes a first wind guide member 31, which is arranged in the air supply duct 12 and downstream of the wind wheel 21. The wind guide member 3 is used to adjust the air outlet direction of the air supply port 11, which can increase the air supply range and the air outlet coverage area of ​​the air conditioner 100.

[0060] The spoiler component 4 includes a resonant actuator 41 and a spoiler 42. At least a portion of the spoiler 42 is disposed in the spoiler air duct 13. The resonant actuator 41 is connected to the spoiler 42 to drive the spoiler 42 to resonate and realize spoiler.

[0061] It is worth noting that the “suitable for” in the phrase “the resonant actuator 41 is suitable for driving the spoiler 42 to resonate and realize turbulence” means that the resonant actuator 41 has the function of driving the spoiler 42 to resonate and realize turbulence.

[0062] It is understandable that "resonance" is also called "resonance". When the frequency of the driving force is equal to the natural frequency of the system, the amplitude of the forced vibration of the system is the largest. This phenomenon is called resonance. When the frequency of the external force is the same as or very close to the natural oscillation frequency of the system, the amplitude of the oscillation system increases sharply under the action of periodic external forces. The frequency when resonance occurs is called "resonance frequency". In addition, "natural frequency" is also called "natural frequency". When an object vibrates freely, its displacement changes with time according to the sine or cosine law. The frequency of vibration has nothing to do with the initial conditions, but is only related to the inherent characteristics of the system (such as mass, shape, material, etc.). It is called the natural frequency, and its corresponding period is called the natural period. The natural frequency has nothing to do with external excitation and is an inherent property of the structure. Regardless of whether the structure is excited by the outside world, the natural frequency of the structure exists. It is just that when there is external excitation, the structure produces a vibration response according to the natural frequency. In addition, "free vibration" refers to the vibration that occurs in a mechanical system after the excitation or constraint is removed. The vibration is maintained only by its elastic restoring force. When there is damping, the vibration gradually decays. The frequency of free vibration is determined only by the physical properties of the system itself, which is called the natural frequency of the system.

[0063] In simple terms, when the excitation frequency of the resonant actuator 41 is the same as or close to the natural frequency of the spoiler 42, the resonance effect is utilized, and the vibration generated by the spoiler 42 is called resonance. The amplitude of the spoiler 42 will increase sharply, so that the spoiler 42 can vibrate the spoiler more effectively, thereby accelerating the flow of the surrounding airflow, breaking up the airflow into a vortex, effectively softening the wind feeling, and improving the air supply comfort.

[0064] By providing the spoiler component 4, the spoiler air duct 13 will generate a spoiler airflow, and the spoiler airflow enters the air supply duct 12 from the outlet end 13b of the spoiler air duct 13, thereby disturbing the air supply airflow in the air supply duct 12, breaking up the air supply airflow, effectively softening the wind feeling of the wind, and improving the comfort of air supply, so that the air supply airflow flowing out of the air supply port 11 is evenly diffused to flow indoors, and the airflow covers a large area, thereby improving the airflow circulation speed. In addition, when the air conditioner 100 adjusts the indoor temperature, since the spoiler component 4 can be provided to a certain extent to improve the uniformity of the airflow delivered to the room, it is beneficial to accelerate the indoor air circulation flow, which is beneficial to improve the airflow heat exchange efficiency and make the indoor temperature more uniform. It can also improve the problem of direct airflow, reduce the air supply wind feeling, and improve the comfort of use.

[0065] In the related art, the horizontally mounted air conditioner is provided with a plurality of small swing blades arranged in a transverse direction at the air outlet to achieve left and right swinging of the wind, and a long air guide plate is provided on the outside of the small swing blade to achieve up and down swinging of the wind. In order to meet the comfort requirements of the air conditioner, micro holes are usually provided on the long air guide plate. When the long air guide plate blocks the air outlet, the airflow is sent out from the micro holes on the long air guide plate, thereby reducing the wind feeling. However, although this air outlet method reduces the wind feeling, the air outlet resistance is large and the air outlet volume is low, which makes it difficult to meet the temperature regulation requirements. Moreover, the airflow sent out through the air dispersion holes on the long air guide plate is not directional, and it is difficult to transport it to the user's required position for temperature regulation.

[0066] In the air conditioner 100 of the embodiment of the present invention, the spoiler component 4 is arranged inside the air conditioner 100, and the spoiler plate 42 is used to provide a spoiler airflow to reduce the wind feeling. There is no need to block the air supply port 11. The wind resistance of the air supply airflow is relatively low, which has a good improvement effect on the air volume attenuation, so that the air supply volume is relatively sufficient, and the temperature regulation demand can be better taken into account.

[0067] In addition, the present invention sets the spoiler 42 at least partially in the spoiler air duct 13 and is located outside the air supply duct 12, so as to avoid occupying the space of the air supply duct 12 and avoid interference with components such as the air guide component 3 in the air supply duct 12, which is convenient for layout; it can also avoid the problem of large air outlet resistance and further ensure the air outlet volume.

[0068] The air guide component 3 and the spoiler component 4 of the present invention can work in coordination with each other or independently.

[0069] For example, when the fan wheel 21 guides the air flow to flow, the fan wheel 21 sends the air flow along the air duct 12 to the air outlet 11. If the spoiler 4 works and the spoiler 42 resonates, the spoiler 42 can send the spoiler airflow to the air duct 12 to improve the wind feeling of the air flow. At the same time, the air supply direction is adjusted by the air guide component 3, so that the spoiled airflow can be sent out from the air outlet 11 of the air conditioner 100 according to the air guide direction, so that the comfortable airflow is delivered to the position required by the user, improving the user's comfort while meeting the wind direction and temperature adjustment requirements. It is worth noting that the spoiler component 4 can deliver the spoiler airflow to the upstream and / or downstream of the air guide component 3.

[0070] For another example, when the wind wheel 21 guides the air flow, the wind wheel 21 sends the air flow along the air supply duct 12 to the air supply port 11. If the spoiler component 4 is not working, the spoiler duct 13 does not send the spoiler airflow into the air supply duct 12, and the spoiler component 4 has no effect on the air supply airflow. At this time, the air supply direction is adjusted by the air guide component 3, so that the airflow is sent out from the air supply port 11 of the air conditioner 100 according to the air guide direction, and then the airflow is delivered to the position required by the user.

[0071] For another example, when the wind wheel 21 guides the flow of the supply air flow, the wind wheel 21 sends the supply air flow along the air supply duct 12 to the air supply port 11. If the spoiler component 4 is working and the spoiler 42 resonates, the spoiler airflow can be sent into the air supply duct 12 through the disturbing effect of the spoiler 42 on the air flow, thereby improving the wind feeling of the supply air flow. The air guide component 3 does not work and does not adjust the air supply direction. At this time, the disturbed airflow can be directly sent out from the air supply port 11 of the air conditioner 100, thereby improving the user comfort and meeting the temperature regulation requirements.

[0072] According to the air conditioner 100 of the embodiment of the present invention, by providing the spoiler component 4, the spoiler air duct 13 will generate a spoiler airflow, which will disturb the air supply airflow in the air supply duct 12, break up the air supply airflow, effectively soften the wind feeling of the wind, improve the comfort of the air supply, and improve the problem of direct airflow. This method of reducing the wind feeling does not need to block the air supply port 11, and can also improve the space occupied by the air supply duct 12, thereby avoiding the problem of large wind resistance, and can better ensure the air volume, that is, to achieve both the satisfaction of the air volume demand and the wind feeling comfort experience.

[0073] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 2 As shown, the air supply duct 12 is along the width direction of the air supply port 11 (for example Figure 2 Both sides of the air supply duct 12 in the vertical direction (shown in the figure) are first sides 12a, and the air supply duct 12 is along the length direction of the air supply port 11 (for example Figure 2Both sides in the left and right direction (as shown) are second sides 12b, at least one first side 12a and / or at least one second side 12b are provided with a spoiler air duct 13, and the outlet end 13b of the spoiler air duct 13 is suitable for sending a spoiler airflow into the air supply duct 12 to disrupt the supply airflow.

[0074] It can be understood that by setting different numbers of spoiler ducts 13 at different positions of the air supply channel, the spoiler airflow has different degrees of influence on the supply airflow, thereby obtaining different air supply wind sensations. Therefore, the arrangement position and number of the spoiler air ducts 13 of the present invention can be selected according to actual needs.

[0075] For example, Fig. 9 As shown, only two first sides 12a are provided with spoiler ducts 13; or, only two second sides 12b are provided with spoiler ducts 13; or, only one first side 12a is provided with spoiler ducts 13; or, Fig.13 and Fig.17 As shown, only one first side 12a is provided with a spoiler duct 13; or, only one first side 12a is provided with a spoiler duct 13, and both second sides 12b are provided with spoiler ducts 13; or, only one second side 12b is provided with a spoiler duct 13, and both first sides 12a are provided with spoiler ducts 13; or, as shown Figure 5 As shown, both the two first sides 12 a and the two second sides 12 b are provided with spoiler ducts 13 .

[0076] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 As shown, the outlet end 13b of the spoiler duct 13 and the spoiler duct 13 are located on the same side of the air supply duct 12, which facilitates the arrangement of the spoiler duct 13 and reduces the manufacturing difficulty. For example, the spoiler duct 13 disposed on the upper side of the air supply duct 12 has its outlet end 13b also disposed on the upper side of the air supply duct 12; for example, the spoiler duct 13 disposed on the lower side of the air supply duct 12 has its outlet end 13b also disposed on the lower side of the air supply duct 12; for example, the spoiler duct 13 disposed on the left side of the air supply duct 12 has its outlet end 13b also disposed on the left side of the air supply duct 12; for example, the spoiler duct 13 disposed on the right side of the air supply duct 12 has its outlet end 13b also disposed on the right side of the air supply duct 12.

[0077] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 As shown, the spoiler duct 13 provided on the first side 12a is a first spoiler duct 131, and the spoiler component 4 provided in the first spoiler duct 131 is a first spoiler component 4a. Figure 6 As shown, the first spoiler 4a includes a plurality of spoilers 42 spaced apart along the length direction of the air outlet 11. The thickness direction of the spoilers 42 in the first spoiler 4a may be consistent with the length direction of the air outlet 11.

[0078] The first spoiler duct 131 is extended along the length direction of the air supply port 11, and the spoiler plates 42 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the air supply port 11. Each spoiler plate 42 can be driven to vibrate back and forth along the length direction of the air supply port 111 to break up the spoiler airflow. The broken up spoiler airflow enters the air supply duct 12 and is fully mixed with the air supply airflow, thereby disrupting the air supply airflow in the air supply duct 12, which is beneficial to soften the wind feeling and improve the air supply comfort.

[0079] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Fig. 9 As shown, the spoiler 42 in the first spoiler component 4a extends along the set direction X1 in the direction from the resonant actuator 41 to the outlet end 13b of the spoiler air duct 13, and the angle α between the set direction X1 and the air outlet direction X2 of the air supply duct ranges from 45° to 160°.

[0080] The extension direction of the spoiler 42 is the inflow direction of the spoiler airflow into the air supply duct 12, so setting the angle between the direction X1 and the outlet direction X2 of the air supply duct too large or too small is not conducive to the air outlet of the air conditioner 100. When the angle between the direction X1 and the outlet direction X2 of the air supply duct is too large, the wind resistance in the air supply duct 12 is too large, and the air supply capacity of the air conditioner 100 is reduced; and when the angle between the direction X1 and the outlet direction X2 of the air supply duct is too small, the spoiler effect on the air supply airflow is insufficient, the air supply airflow strength is relatively hard, and the wind feeling experience is poor.

[0081] By setting the angle α between the set direction X1 and the air outlet direction X2 of the air supply duct to the above-mentioned spacing value, the turbulent airflow can disrupt the air supply airflow in the air supply duct 12, effectively soften the air outlet wind feeling, improve the air supply comfort, improve the problem of direct airflow, and have a lower impact on the air supply of the air conditioner 100, thereby meeting the air supply volume requirement of the air conditioner 100.

[0082] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 and Fig. 9 As shown, both first sides 12a are provided with first spoiler components 4a. It can be understood that the length dimension of the air supply port 11 is greater than the width dimension of the air supply port 11. Therefore, the spoiler components 4 are provided on the first side 12a to better disrupt the air supply airflow in the air supply duct 12, effectively soften the wind feeling, and improve the comfort of air supply. The set direction X1 in which the spoiler 42 in the first spoiler component 4a on one side extends is the first direction Y1, and the set direction X1 in which the spoiler 42 in the first spoiler component 4a on the other side extends is the second direction Y2.

[0083] Alternatively, if Figure 1 and Fig. 9 As shown, the first direction Y1 intersects the second direction Y2 at a non-zero angle, that is, the orientation of the outlet end 13b of the first spoiler duct 131 located on the two first sides 12a has an angle, and the supply air flow flowing along the supply air duct 12 is disturbed by the two spoiler air flows after passing through the two outlet ends 13b, and the two spoiler air flows come from different directions. The supply air flow is disturbed twice, which effectively softens the wind feel and improves the air supply comfort.

[0084] Alternatively, if Figure 3 As shown, the first direction Y1 is consistent with the second direction Y2, that is, the outlet ends 13b of the first spoiler air ducts 131 located on the two first sides 12a are oriented in the same direction, and the supply air flow flowing along the supply air duct 12 is disturbed by the two spoiler air flows after passing through the two outlet ends 13b, and the two spoiler air flows come from opposite directions, which sufficiently disturbs the supply air duct 12, effectively softens the wind feeling, and improves the air supply comfort.

[0085] In some embodiments of the present invention, one or more spoiler components 4 are provided in each spoiler air duct 13. When one spoiler component 4 is provided, the structure can be simplified and the cost can be reduced. When multiple spoiler components 4 are provided, the spoiler effect can be improved.

[0086] In some embodiments of the present invention, at least one spoiler duct 13 is provided with a plurality of spoiler components 4 arranged at intervals along the air supply direction of the air supply duct 12. Thus, when the airflow flows through different stages of the air supply duct 12, it can be respectively disturbed by the plurality of spoiler components 4. The number of disturbances increases, and the spoiler effect can be improved.

[0087] In addition, the arrangement position and quantity of the spoiler 4 can be selected according to actual needs.

[0088] In some embodiments of the present invention, the housing part 1 has a plurality of spoiler ducts 13, each spoiler duct 13 is provided with at least one spoiler component 4, and the spoiler components 4 in at least two spoiler ducts 13 work independently. The spoiler components 4 in at least two spoiler ducts 13 do not interfere with each other, and even if one of the spoiler components 4 does not work properly, it will not affect the other spoiler components 4, and the normal spoiler components 4 can still work normally, thereby improving the working reliability of the air conditioner 100.

[0089] In addition, the spoiler components 4 in at least two spoiler ducts 13 work independently. By individually controlling the operation or stop of the spoiler components 4 in at least one spoiler duct 13, the spoiler airflow provided to the supply air duct 12 can be changed. The spoiler airflow has different degrees of influence on the supply airflow, so that different supply air wind sensations can be obtained, thereby improving the functionality of the air conditioner 100.

[0090] Exemplarily, both sides of the air supply duct 12 along the length direction of the air supply port 11 are first sides 12a, the spoiler duct 13 arranged on the first side 12a is a first spoiler duct 131, the spoiler component 4 includes at least two first spoiler components 4a, and at least one first spoiler component 4a is arranged in each of the two first spoiler ducts 131. The first spoiler components 4a in the two first spoiler ducts 131 work independently of each other, so that different air supply wind sensations can be obtained, thereby improving the functionality of the air conditioner 100.

[0091] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 5 As shown, the inlet end 13a of the spoiler duct 13 is connected to the outside of the shell part 1, so that the airflow can be obtained from the outside to achieve spoiler, thereby simplifying the structure and reducing the impact on the air supply volume. Of course, the present application is not limited to this. For example, in other embodiments of the present application, the airflow can also be introduced into the spoiler duct from the vicinity of the air inlet inside the shell part 1 or the upstream of the air supply duct 12, which will not be repeated here.

[0092] Exemplarily, the inlet end 13a of the spoiler duct 13 can be located on the same side of the air supply duct 12 as the spoiler duct 13. When the inlet end 13a of the spoiler duct 13, the outlet end 13b of the spoiler duct 13 and the spoiler duct 13 are all located on the same side of the air supply duct 12, the arrangement of the spoiler duct 13 is facilitated, and the manufacturing difficulty is reduced.

[0093] In some embodiments of the present invention, the inlet end 13a of the spoiler air duct 13 is connected to the indoor side, and the spoiler airflow is provided by the indoor air. When the air conditioner 100 is suitable for adjusting the indoor temperature, the spoiler component 4 provides a spoiler airflow to the air supply duct 12. After the spoiler airflow is mixed with the air supply airflow, it can not only disturb the air supply airflow and improve the air supply wind feeling, but also improve the air flow temperature flowing out of the air supply port 11, so that the air flow flowing out of the air supply port 11 is closer to the indoor temperature, further improve the air supply wind feeling, improve the temperature difference of the air flow blowing on the human body, and enhance the comfort of use.

[0094] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, the spoiler duct 13 provided on the second side 12b is a second spoiler duct, the spoiler component 4 provided in the second spoiler duct is a second spoiler component 4b, and the second spoiler component 4b also includes a plurality of spoiler pieces 42 spaced apart along the width direction of the air supply port 11. The thickness direction of the spoiler pieces 42 in the second spoiler component 4b may be consistent with the width direction of the air supply port 11.

[0095] In the first embodiment of the present invention, Figure 5-Figure 8As shown, the two first sides 12a and the two second sides 12b are both provided with spoiler air ducts 13, that is, there are two first spoiler air ducts 131 and two second spoiler air ducts. The spoiler component 4 includes at least two first spoiler components 4a and at least two second spoiler components 4b, wherein at least one first spoiler component 4a is provided in each of the two first spoiler air ducts 131, and at least one second spoiler component 4b is provided in each of the two second spoiler air ducts.

[0096] In the first embodiment of the present invention, the spoiler components 4 located in the two first spoiler air ducts 131 and the spoiler components 4 located in the two second spoiler air ducts work independently of each other, and the operation of the first spoiler components 4a and the second spoiler components 4b can be selectively set. The air conditioner 100 can realize multiple air supply modes, and the air conditioner 100 has strong functionality.

[0097] For example, the spoiler components 4 located in the two first spoiler air ducts 131 and the spoiler components 4 located in the two second spoiler air ducts are not working, then the spoiler air duct 13 does not send the spoiler airflow to the air supply duct 12, and the spoiler components 4 have no effect on the air supply airflow. The fan rotates at a speed n1, and the air supply airflow flowing out of the air supply port 11 flows directly into the room, and the air conditioner 100 supplies air in a normal air supply mode.

[0098] Exemplarily, the spoiler components 4 located in the two first spoiler air ducts 131 and the spoiler components 4 located in the two second spoiler air ducts are both working, and the spoiler components 4 send the spoiler airflow to the air supply duct 12 through the spoiler 42 to disturb the airflow, and the two first spoiler air ducts 131 and the two second spoiler air ducts send the spoiler airflow to the air supply duct 12, breaking up the air supply airflow, effectively softening the wind feeling, and improving the comfort of air supply. The air supply airflow flowing out of the air supply port 11 is evenly diffused and flows into the room, and the air conditioner 100 supplies air in the first soft wind mode.

[0099] For example, the first spoiler components 4a located in the two first spoiler air ducts 131 work, and the second spoiler components 4b located in the two second spoiler air ducts do not work. The two first spoiler air ducts 131 send spoiler airflows to the air supply air duct 12, and the air supply airflow flowing out of the air supply port 11 is disturbed, softening the wind feeling. The air conditioner 100 supplies air in the second soft wind mode.

[0100] When the air conditioner 100 delivers air in the first soft wind mode, the wind wheel 21 rotates at a speed n1, and the first spoiler 4a and the second spoiler 4b resonate and vibrate at a first amplitude A1 and a second frequency f1. The first amplitude A1 and the first frequency f1 here are understood in a broad sense, and do not specify a specific value, but can also be constrained by a certain range of values, and the amplitudes and frequencies of at least two first spoilers 4a and at least two second spoilers 4b can be the same or different.

[0101] When the air conditioner 100 delivers air in the second soft wind mode, the wind wheel 21 rotates at a speed n2, and the first spoiler 4a resonates and vibrates with a second amplitude A2 and a second frequency f2. Similarly, the second amplitude A2 and the second frequency f2 here are also understood in a broad sense, and the amplitudes and frequencies of at least two first spoilers 4a may be the same or different.

[0102] When the air conditioner 100 supplies air in the second soft wind mode, the air volume of the air conditioner 100 is smaller than that in the first soft wind mode, but the air feeling is similar, only softer.

[0103] Exemplarily, the second spoiler 4b located in the two second spoiler air ducts works, the first spoiler 4a located in the two first spoiler air ducts 131 does not work, and the two second spoiler air ducts send spoiler airflow to the air supply air duct 12 to break up the air supply airflow. The air conditioner 100 supplies air in the third soft wind mode, the wind wheel 21 rotates at a speed n2, and the first spoiler 4a resonates and vibrates with the second amplitude A3 and the second frequency f3. Similarly, the third amplitude A3 and the third frequency f3 here are also broadly understood, and the amplitude and frequency of at least two second spoilers 4b may be the same or different.

[0104] Among them, n1>n2, the first amplitude A1>the third amplitude A3, and the second frequency f1>the third frequency f3. When the air conditioner 100 supplies air in the second soft wind mode, the air supply volume of the air conditioner 100 is smaller than that in the first soft wind mode, and the air supply volume is similar to that in the second soft wind mode, and the air supply wind feeling of the air conditioner 100 is harder than that in the first soft wind mode and the second soft wind mode. It can be understood that the length dimension of the air supply port 11 is greater than the width dimension of the air supply port 11, so only the second spoiler component 4b located in the two second spoiler air ducts is operated, and the disturbing effect on the air supply airflow is relatively limited, and the wind feeling is harder than that in the first soft wind mode and the second soft wind mode.

[0105] In the second embodiment of the present invention, Figure 9-12 As shown, the two first sides 12a are provided with spoiler ducts 13, and the two second sides 12b are not provided with spoiler ducts 13, that is, there are two first spoiler ducts 131. The spoiler component 4 includes at least two first spoiler components 4a, and at least one first spoiler component 4a is provided in each of the two first spoiler ducts 131.

[0106] It is understandable that the length dimension of the air outlet 11 is greater than the width dimension of the air outlet 11, so only by providing the spoiler component 4 on the first side 12a, the air flow in the air supply duct 12 can be disturbed well, the wind feeling of the air outlet can be softened effectively, and the air supply comfort can be improved. Thus, the spoiler duct 13 and the spoiler component 4 on the second side 12b can be saved, the manufacturing difficulty of the air conditioner 100 can be reduced, and the manufacturing cost of the air conditioner 100 can be saved.

[0107] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, the air conditioner 100 is a wall mounted air conditioner, the length direction of the air supply outlet 11 extends in the left-right direction, the two first sides 12a are the upper side and the lower side respectively, the inlet end 13a of the spoiler duct 13 located on the upper side of the air supply duct 12 is connected to at least one of the top, left side, right side and front upper part of the wall mounted air conditioner, and the inlet end 13a of the spoiler duct 13 located on the lower side of the air supply duct 12 is connected to at least one of the rear lower part, left side and right side of the wall mounted air conditioner.

[0108] The inlet end 13a of the spoiler duct 13 located on the upper side of the air supply duct 12 is connected to the top of the air-conditioning hanging unit, and the outlet end 13b is connected to the upper side of the air supply duct 12; the inlet end 13a of the spoiler duct 13 located on the lower side of the air supply duct 12 is connected to the rear lower part of the air-conditioning hanging unit, and the outlet end 13b is connected to the lower side of the air supply duct 12; the inlet end 13a of the spoiler duct 13 located on the left side of the air supply duct 12 is connected to the left side of the air-conditioning hanging unit, and the outlet end 13b is connected to the left side of the air supply duct 12; the inlet end 13a of the spoiler duct 13 located on the right side of the air supply duct 12 is connected to the right side of the air-conditioning hanging unit, and the outlet end 13b is connected to the right side of the air supply duct 12, which facilitates the arrangement of the spoiler duct 13 and reduces the manufacturing difficulty.

[0109] In some embodiments, the top of the air conditioner wall unit is the air inlet of the air conditioner cabinet, and the inlet end 13a of the turbulence duct 13 located on the upper side of the air supply duct 12 is connected to the top of the air conditioner wall unit. When the air conditioner cabinet takes in air, it drives the airflow into the turbulence duct 13 located on the upper side of the air supply duct 12, without having to separately set up an air inlet fan element for the turbulence duct 13, thereby reducing manufacturing costs.

[0110] In the third embodiment of the present invention, Figure 13-Figure 16 As shown, one of the two first sides 12 a located on the upper side of the air supply duct 12 is provided with a first spoiler duct 131 , the spoiler component 4 includes at least one first spoiler component 4 a , and at least one first spoiler component 4 a is provided in the first spoiler duct 131 .

[0111] In the fourth embodiment of the present invention, Figure 17-Figure 20As shown, one of the two first sides 12 a located at the lower side of the air supply duct 12 is provided with a first spoiler duct 131 , the spoiler component 4 includes at least one first spoiler component 4 a , and at least one first spoiler component 4 a is provided in the first spoiler duct 131 .

[0112] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 4 As shown, the spoiler 42 includes a first end 42a and a second end 42b, the first end 42a is connected to the resonant actuator 41, the second end 42b is an end of the spoiler 42 away from the resonant actuator 41, and the spoiler 42 extends from the first end 42a to the second end 42b in the direction toward the outlet end 13b of the spoiler air duct 13. The extension direction of the spoiler 42 is substantially consistent with the flow direction of the spoiler airflow at the location of the spoiler 42, which can enhance the spoiler effect of the spoiler 42.

[0113] Optionally, the spoiler 42 is formed in a shape with a blade width gradually increasing in a direction away from the resonant actuator 41. Thus, the spoiler 42 can have a larger spoiling area, which is beneficial to improving the spoiling effect on the airflow.

[0114] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 As shown, the outlet end 13 b of the spoiler air duct 13 is located downstream of the first air guide member 31 and / or is arranged directly opposite to the first air guide member 31 .

[0115] Optionally, the outlet end 13b of the spoiler duct 13 is located downstream of the first air guide 31, and the air supply airflow flows out from the wind wheel 21, flows along the air supply duct 12, first passes through the first air guide 31, and then passes through the airflow spoiler delivered by the outlet end 13b of the spoiler duct 13. Through the combination of the spoiler component 4 and the first air guide 31, the wind sense of the guided airflow is adjusted, so that the temperature adjustment requirements of the required position can be met, and the wind sense comfort experience of the required position is guaranteed at the same time, so that the temperature adjustment requirements of the required position and the wind sense comfort experience can be met.

[0116] Also optionally, the outlet end 13b of the spoiler air duct 13 is arranged directly opposite to the first air guide piece 31, and the supply air flow flows along the air supply duct 12, is guided by the first air guide piece 31 when passing through the first air guide piece 31, and is simultaneously disrupted by the air flow sent out through the outlet end 13b of the spoiler air duct 13, and the air flow after adjusting the wind feeling is guided to the user's required position, which can take into account both the temperature regulation requirements of the required position and the wind comfort experience.

[0117] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 4 and Figure 7As shown, the outlet end 13b of the spoiler air duct 13 includes a plurality of communication holes 14 that penetrate the wall of the air supply duct 12 and are arranged at intervals. The spoiler airflow enters the air supply duct 12 through the communication holes 14, breaking up the air supply airflow, and at the same time, multiple communication holes 14 are provided to discharge air, further breaking up the spoiler airflow, and the spoiler airflow passes through the contracted communication holes 14, which is conducive to accelerating the flow rate of the spoiler airflow, further enhancing the spoiler effect on the air supply airflow, and softening the wind feeling of the air supply airflow.

[0118] In some embodiments of the present invention, the connecting hole 14 extends from its own entrance to its own outlet in a direction close to the first air guide 31. The turbulent airflow flowing out of the connecting hole 14 is transported toward the first air guide 31, and the air supply airflow flowing in the air supply duct 12 is guided by the first air guide 31 when passing through the first air guide 31, and is disturbed by the turbulent airflow to adjust the wind sense of the air supply airflow, and the airflow with adjusted wind sense is guided to the desired position of the user, so as to meet the temperature adjustment requirements of the desired position, and at the same time ensure the wind sense comfort experience of the desired position, so that both the temperature adjustment requirements and the wind sense comfort experience of the desired position can be taken into account.

[0119] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 4 As shown, the dimension w of the connecting hole 14 along the outflow direction of the air supply duct 12 is greater than or equal to 3 mm.

[0120] If the dimension w is too small, the wind resistance of the spoiler air duct 13 is too large, the amount of spoiler airflow entering the air supply duct 12 is reduced, and the spoiler effect on the air supply airflow is reduced. However, by setting the dimension w of the connecting hole 14 along the outflow direction of the air supply duct 12 to be greater than or equal to 3 mm, the spoiler effect of the air supply airflow is facilitated and the wind feeling of the air supply airflow is softened.

[0121] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, both sides of the air supply duct 12 along the length direction of the air supply port 11 are first sides 12a, at least one first side 12a is provided with a spoiler duct 13, the spoiler duct 13 provided on the first side 12a is a first spoiler duct 131, and the connecting holes 14 included in the outlet end 13b of the first spoiler duct 131 are at least one row, and each row includes a plurality of connecting holes 14 arranged at intervals along the length direction of the air supply port 11, and / or, at least one connecting hole 14 included in the outlet end 13b of the first spoiler duct 131 is formed as a long strip hole with a length direction consistent with the length direction of the air supply port 11.

[0122] Optionally, the connecting holes 14 included in the outlet end 13b of the first spoiler air duct 131 may be multiple rows, and each row is provided with a long strip hole whose length direction is consistent with the length direction of the air supply port 11; or, optionally, the connecting holes 14 included in the outlet end 13b of the first spoiler air duct 131 may be multiple rows, and each row is provided with a plurality of connecting holes 14 spaced apart along the length direction of the air supply port 11; or, optionally, the connecting holes 14 included in the outlet end 13b of the first spoiler air duct 131 are multiple rows, at least one row is provided with a plurality of connecting holes 14 spaced apart along the length direction of the air supply port 11, and the remaining rows are provided with a long strip hole whose length direction is consistent with the length direction of the air supply port 11.

[0123] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 6 As shown, the first air guide member 31 includes a plurality of air guide blades 310 spaced apart along the length direction of the air supply port 11. The air guide blades 310 are rotatable and the rotation axis of the air guide blades 310 is perpendicular to the length direction of the air supply port 11, or the rotation axis of the air guide blades 310 is parallel to the cross-section of the air supply port 11, so that the wind direction along the length direction of the air supply port 11 can be adjusted by rotating the air guide blades 310.

[0124] Therefore, according to the first air guide member 31 of the embodiment of the present invention, since it includes a plurality of air guide blades 310 , the air supply angle of the air flow in the length direction of the air supply port 11 can be adjusted, thereby increasing the air supply range of the air flow in the length direction of the air supply port 11 .

[0125] In some embodiments of the present invention, Fig. 9 and Fig.11 As shown, the air guide component 3 includes at least one second air guide member 32 arranged at the air supply port 11, and the second air guide member 32 is formed as an air guide plate 320 extending along the length direction of the air supply port 11. The air guide plate 320 can be rotatably arranged and the rotation axis of the air guide plate 320 is parallel to the length direction of the air supply port 11.

[0126] Therefore, the air guide plate 320 can be used to achieve wind direction adjustment along the width direction of the air supply outlet 11. For example, when the air conditioner 100 is a horizontally mounted air conditioner, the length direction of the air supply outlet 11 is the left and right direction, and the width direction of the air supply outlet 11 is the up and down direction (such as the up and down vertical direction or the up and down inclined direction). The air guide plate 320 rotates around the horizontal axis to achieve up and down swing wind adjustment, thereby adjusting the air supply angle in the up and down direction to increase the air supply range of the airflow in the width direction of the air supply outlet 11.

[0127] In some embodiments of the present invention, Fig. 9 As shown, there are two air guide plates 320, namely a first air guide plate 321 and a second air guide plate 322, and the width of the second air guide plate 322 is greater than the width of the first air guide plate 321. Fig.21 and Fig. 22 As shown, when the air conditioner 100 is turned off, the second air guide plate 322 closes the air outlet 11, and the first air guide plate 321 is located on the inner side of the second air guide plate 322. At this time, the second air guide plate 322 can play the role of opening and closing the door, thereby eliminating the need for opening and closing the door and reducing costs. In addition, the first air guide plate 321 is located on the inner side of the second air guide plate 322, and the air guide blade 310 is located on the inner side of the first air guide plate 321, which can reasonably utilize the space and make the overall appearance neat.

[0128] When the air conditioner 100 is in operation, the first air guide plate 321 and the second air guide plate 322 are disposed on both sides of the width of the air outlet 11. That is, the first air guide plate 321 is disposed close to one side of the width of the air outlet 11 (at this time, the first air guide plate 321 can be located inside the air outlet 11 or can extend outside the air outlet 11), and the second air guide plate 322 is disposed close to the other side of the width of the air outlet 11 (at this time, the second air guide plate 322 can be located inside the air outlet 11 or can extend outside the air outlet 11). Thus, the two air guide plates 320 can adjust the air supply direction separately from both sides of the width of the air outlet 11, which is conducive to combining more different air supply adjustment schemes.

[0129] For example, when the air conditioner 100 is a horizontally mounted air conditioner, the length direction of the air supply outlet 11 is the left-right direction, and the width direction of the air supply outlet 11 is the up-down direction (such as the up-down vertical direction or the up-down inclined direction). At least a portion of the first air guide plate 321 is located inside the air supply outlet 11 and rotates, and the second air guide plate 322 is located outside the air supply outlet 11 as a whole and rotates. The rotation axis of the first air guide plate 321 is higher than the rotation axis of the second air guide plate 322. After the air conditioner 100 is turned on, the first air guide plate 321 rotates to the upper part of the air supply outlet 11, and the second air guide plate 322 rotates to the lower part of the air supply outlet 11. The first air guide plate 321 and the second air guide plate 322 rotate separately around their respective rotation axes, thereby adjusting the air supply angle and air supply range in the up-down direction.

[0130] For example, in the heating state, the first air guide plate 321 rotates downward at a relatively large angle, and the second air guide plate 322 rotates downward, thereby achieving the effect of pressing the hot air downward, so that the hot air flow can blow more toward the user. In the cooling state, the first air guide plate 321 rotates downward at a relatively small angle, and the second air guide plate 322 rotates upward, thereby achieving the effect of raising the cold air upward, improving the direct blowing of cold air to the user and improving comfort.

[0131] In some embodiments of the present invention, the resonant actuator 41 includes at least one of a piezoelectric actuator, an electrostrictive actuator, a magnetostrictive actuator, a memory alloy actuator, a mechanical actuator, a servo actuator, and an electrorheological fluid actuator.

[0132] In the embodiment of the present invention, the resonant actuator 41 uses its own properties to drive the spoiler 42 to vibrate back and forth. Compared with driving the spoiler 42 to move by a driving member such as a motor, the resonant actuator 41 in the embodiment of the present invention has low operating noise and high reliability, reduces the working noise of the spoiler component 4, and improves the user's comfort.

[0133] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the resonant actuator 41 is a piezoelectric actuator. By utilizing the reverse voltage effect, the resonant actuator 41 will vibrate when an AC voltage is applied to both ends of the resonant actuator 41. The resonant actuator 41 then drives the spoiler 42 to vibrate back and forth, thereby driving the flow of surrounding air. When the spoiler airflow passes through the spoiler component 4, the spoiler airflow is broken up into a vortex shape, and the spoiler airflow flows into the air supply duct 12, effectively softening the wind feeling, allowing the airflow to diffuse evenly and flow into the room. The airflow covers a large area, thereby increasing the airflow circulation speed.

[0134] For example, when the resonant actuator 41 is a piezoelectric actuator, including a piezoelectric material, an alternating voltage is applied in the polarization direction of the piezoelectric material, and the piezoelectric material will produce periodic mechanical deformation in a certain direction. Resonance (or resonance) occurs only when the excitation frequency of the piezoelectric material is equal to or close to the natural frequency of the spoiler 42. At this time, the amplitude of the spoiler 42 will increase sharply, so that the spoiler 42 can more effectively spoil the air and improve the wind feeling of the air outlet.

[0135] In some embodiments, the resonance frequency of the resonant actuator 41 driving the spoiler 42 to resonate is greater than or equal to 1 Hz. Therefore, the spoiler 42 can achieve a better spoiling effect and improve the wind feeling.

[0136] Further, the resonant frequency of the resonant actuator 41 driving the spoiler 42 to resonate is 1Hz-100Hz. That is to say, the resonant actuator 41 with a resonant frequency of 1Hz-100Hz (e.g., 1Hz, 10Hz, 20Hz, 30Hz, 40Hz, 50Hz, 60Hz, 70Hz, 80Hz, 90Hz, 100Hz, etc.) can be selected as needed to drive the spoiler 42 with a matching natural frequency to resonate, thereby meeting different requirements for the wind feel of the wind outflow. Further, the resonant actuator 41 with a resonant frequency of 10Hz-80Hz (e.g., 10Hz, 20Hz, 30Hz, 40Hz, 50Hz, 60Hz, 70Hz, 80Hz, etc.) can be selected to drive the spoiler 42 with a matching natural frequency to resonate, thereby meeting different requirements for the wind feel of the wind outflow. Of course, the present invention is not limited to this. In other embodiments, the resonant frequency of the resonant actuator 41 driving the spoiler 42 to resonate can also be greater than 100Hz, which will not be repeated here.

[0137] The driving motors used in general air conditioners 100 can be roughly divided into two types: brushless DC motors and stepper motors. Among them, brushless DC motors are mainly used to drive the fan to move. They can drive the fan to rotate at high speed, but the driving direction is unidirectional and cannot achieve reciprocating motion. When the motor is running at high speed, if the direction is suddenly adjusted, the life and reliability of the motor and the structural parts connected to it cannot be guaranteed. In terms of technology, it is currently impossible to achieve high-frequency reciprocating rotation of brushless DC motors. Stepper motors are usually used to drive the movement of components such as air guide plates 320, swing blades, and connecting rod mechanisms. Stepper motors can drive components to reciprocate, but relative to the resonant frequency, the driving frequency is very low. The general reciprocating frequency is about 0.1Hz (about 5 to 6 reciprocating movements per minute), which is about two orders of magnitude lower than the resonant frequency (1Hz-100Hz). Therefore, brushless DC motors and stepper motors used in general air conditioners 100 cannot drive the spoiler 42 to resonate with a resonant frequency greater than 1Hz, and the spoiler 42 cannot effectively spoil the air flow to improve the wind feel of the air outlet.

[0138] It should be noted that there are many ways for the resonant actuator 41 to drive the spoiler 42 to resonate. For example, the resonant actuator 41 may include an actuator that uses at least one of electrical, magnetic, mechanical, and temperature fields to achieve reciprocating motion, thereby achieving flexible design. For example, the resonant actuator 41 may include a piezoelectric actuator, using the inverse piezoelectric effect. The resonant actuator 41 is a piezoelectric sheet that uses the inverse piezoelectric effect of the piezoelectric sheet to reciprocate and deform, driving the spoiler 42 to resonate, thereby achieving the purpose of spoiling. Among them, the piezoelectric sheet is a sheet formed by a piezoelectric material, such as a piezoelectric film. The piezoelectric film is a flexible, lightweight, and highly tough plastic film that can be made into objects of various thicknesses and larger areas. It is a type of piezoelectric material that can be driven by alternating current to produce an inverse piezoelectric effect on the piezoelectric film, thereby driving the spoiler 42 to resonate.

[0139] However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the resonant actuator 41 may also drive the spoiler 42 to resonate in other ways, such as described in the following example, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0140] In some embodiments, the resonant actuator 41 includes an electrostrictive actuator, which drives the spoiler 42 to resonate through the electrostrictive effect.

[0141] Specifically, the electrostrictive effect refers to the phenomenon that a dielectric undergoes elastic deformation in an electric field. This phenomenon can be explained as follows: when a dielectric is placed in an electric field, its molecules are polarized, and along the direction of the electric field, the positive pole of one molecule is connected to the negative pole of another molecule. Because the positive and negative poles attract each other, the entire dielectric shrinks in this direction until the elastic force inside it is balanced with the electric attraction. In short, the electrostrictive material can be connected to the spoiler 42, and the electrostrictive material can be deformed by alternating current, thereby driving the spoiler 42 to resonate.

[0142] In addition, it should be noted that the difference between the electrostrictive effect and the inverse piezoelectric effect is that the inverse piezoelectric effect is a linear response effect of the first order term, which can only appear in solid dielectrics without a symmetry center. The piezoelectric constant is a third-order tensor; the physical parameter describing the electrostrictive effect of anisotropic dielectrics is a fourth-order tensor. Only the electrostrictive effect appears in non-piezoelectric dielectrics; the piezoelectric effect and the electrostrictive effect appear simultaneously in piezoelectric bodies. Generally, the strain caused by the electrostrictive effect is several orders of magnitude smaller than the inverse piezoelectric effect of piezoelectric bodies.

[0143] For example, the resonant actuator 41 includes a magnetostrictive actuator, and drives the spoiler 42 to resonate through the magnetostrictive effect.

[0144] Specifically, the magnetostrictive effect refers to the fact that when an object is magnetized in a magnetic field, it will stretch or shorten in the magnetization direction. When the current passing through the coil changes or the distance from the magnet changes, the size of the ferromagnetic material changes significantly. This is usually called a ferromagnetostrictive material. Its size change is much greater than that of current magnetostrictive materials such as ferrites, and the energy generated is also large, so it is called a giant magnetostrictive material.

[0145] Since the magnetostrictive material changes its length under the action of a magnetic field, it can be displaced to do work or can be repeatedly stretched and shortened under the action of an alternating magnetic field, thereby generating vibrations, and this material can convert electromagnetic energy (or electromagnetic information) into mechanical energy. In short, the magnetostrictive material can be connected to the spoiler 42, and the magnetostrictive material can be deformed by the alternating magnetic field, thereby driving the spoiler 42 to resonate.

[0146] In some embodiments, the resonant actuator 41 includes a shape memory alloy actuator, which drives the spoiler 42 to resonate by deforming the shape memory alloy.

[0147] Specifically, shape memory alloys (SMA) can undergo martensitic phase transformation under the drive of external fields (temperature field, stress field, magnetic field, etc.) and then present shape memory effect and superelasticity, output force and displacement to the outside, and are advanced intelligent materials that integrate temperature perception and intelligent drive. They have unique shape memory effect, phase change pseudoelasticity and other characteristics, and are widely used in aerospace, medical equipment, mechanical and electrical fields. Shape memory alloys have three characteristics: large deformation; large degree of freedom in displacement direction; and rapid displacement. Therefore, it has the characteristics of large displacement, high power-to-weight ratio, rapid displacement and free direction. It is particularly suitable for small load, high speed, high precision robot assembly operations, microscope sample moving devices, reactor drive devices, medical endoscopes, artificial hearts, detectors, protectors and other products. In short, the shape memory alloy can be connected to the spoiler 42, and the temperature field can be changed by heating or cooling to drive the spoiler 42 to resonate.

[0148] In some embodiments, the resonant actuator 41 includes an electrorheological fluid actuator, which drives the spoiler 42 to resonate by deforming the electrorheological fluid.

[0149] Specifically, electrorheological fluid (abbreviation ERF) is a kind of intelligent material, and its viscosity changes with the change of applied electric field intensity.When there is no electric field, electrorheological fluid can flow freely like ordinary liquid, is basically a Newtonian fluid.When the applied electric field intensity reaches a certain value, the property of electrorheological fluid will change significantly, and the liquid viscosity increases and lacks fluidity gradually, and the shear resistance strengthens, and is rapidly converted to the solid state by liquid, and is rapidly restored to liquid again after removing the electric field, and this state change only can be realized in milliseconds, and this conversion is completely reversible.In short, electrorheological fluid can be connected with spoiler 42, and spoiler 42 is driven to resonate by alternating electric field.

[0150] In some embodiments, the resonant actuator 41 includes a servo actuator, which can be a hydraulic actuator that can convert hydraulic energy from a hydraulic source into mechanical energy, and can also be servo-controlled by a displacement sensor or travel switch provided by the product as needed. It is used to execute the command of the main controller, control the speed, direction, displacement, and force of the load, and at the same time feedback the main controller signal output force, accurate operating position, small size, etc. In short, the servo actuator can be connected to the spoiler 42 to drive the spoiler 42 to resonate.

[0151] In some embodiments, the resonant actuator 41 may also include a mechanical actuator. The mechanical actuator may directly drive the spoiler 42 to resonate through a high-speed motor or through a mechanical mechanism, etc., which will not be elaborated here.

[0152] Based on the above description, it can be known that the relative positions of the resonant actuator 41 and the spoiler 42 are not limited and need to be specifically designed according to the specific driving mode of the resonant actuator 41, while the design of the spoiler 42 can refer to the following description.

[0153] For example, in some embodiments, the resonant actuators 41 and the spoilers 42 are both multiple and arranged in one-to-one correspondence, thereby achieving separate resonance of the multiple spoilers 42, and presenting different spoiler effects by combining different resonant actuators 41.

[0154] For example, in some embodiments, when the resonant actuator 41 is a piezoelectric actuator, it can be set at the root of the spoiler 42, and the resonant actuator 41 can be a piezoelectric material and located on one side of the thickness of the spoiler 42, or, the resonant actuator 41 can also be two piezoelectric materials and respectively located on both sides of the thickness of the spoiler 42, etc., which can simply and effectively drive the spoiler 42 to move.
