[0010] In some possible implementations, the left and / or right splitter includes a splitter port and a baffle, the splitter port being connected to the front air outlet; the baffle is movably disposed at the splitter port to open or close the splitter port.

[0011] In some possible implementations, the diversion port and baffle are located near the top corner and at the intersection of the left and right diversion plates.

[0012] In some possible implementations, the left splitter plate, the right splitter plate, and the front plate form an air outlet cavity, which connects the front air outlet with the splitter port, the left air outlet, and / or the right air outlet.

[0013] In some possible implementations, the baffle is located inside the air outlet cavity when the baffle opens the diversion port.

[0014] In some possible implementations, the air duct structure includes an air outlet channel, the diverter cone is located downstream of the air outlet channel, and when the air outlet channel extends obliquely from back to front and to the right, the left diverter plate includes the baffle and the diverter port; when the air outlet channel extends obliquely from back to front and to the left, the right diverter plate includes the baffle and the diverter port.

[0015] In some possible implementations, the left diverter includes a first plate and a second plate arranged at an angle, the first plate being located upstream of the second plate, and the first plate including the baffle and the diverter port.

[0016] In some possible implementations, the baffle is rotatably disposed at the diversion port about a rotation axis extending in the vertical direction.

[0017] In some possible implementations, the air outlet device includes a first air outlet mode, a second air outlet mode, and a third air outlet mode. In the first air outlet mode, the left damper closes the left air outlet, the right damper closes the right air outlet, and the baffle closes the diversion port. In the second air outlet mode, the left damper closes the left air outlet, the right damper closes the right air outlet, and the baffle opens the diversion port. In the third air outlet mode, the left damper opens the left air outlet, the right damper opens the right air outlet, and the baffle opens the diversion port.

[0018] In some possible implementations, both the left and right air outlet ducts are equipped with sweeping blades, which are used for vertical sweeping. The sweeping blades are connected to a motor, which is located outside the air outlet cavity.

[0019] In some possible implementations, both the left and right air outlet ducts are equipped with sweeping blades, which are used for vertical sweeping. The sweeping blades are connected to a motor, which is located in the air outlet cavity.

[0020] The air duct structure includes an air outlet channel, and the flow divider cone is located downstream of the air outlet channel; at least one fan is provided upstream of the air outlet channel, and the fan is constructed as a cross-flow fan.

[0021] In some possible implementations, a front air damper is provided at the front air outlet, and the front air damper is movably disposed at the front air outlet in the front-back direction, or the front air damper is rotatably disposed at the front air outlet about a rotation axis extending in the left-right direction, so as to open or close the front air outlet.

[0022] In some possible implementations, the front air vent is located at one or more of the top, middle, and bottom of the front panel.

[0023] In some possible implementations, the left air outlet duct has a left air outlet, the right air outlet duct has a right air outlet, and both the left and right air outlet ducts are provided with air guides. The air guides are used to open or close the corresponding left or right air outlet. When the air guides open the corresponding left or right air outlet, the air guides are also used to guide air left and right.

[0024] In some possible implementations, the air guide includes at least two air guide plates, which are spaced apart along the thickness direction of the air guide plates.

[0025] According to a second aspect of this disclosure, an indoor unit is provided, including the air outlet device as described above.

[0026] According to a third aspect of this disclosure, an air conditioner is provided, including the air outlet device as described above.

[0027] Through the above technical solution, in the air outlet device provided in this disclosure, when the left damper opens the left air outlet, the airflow in the left air outlet duct can flow through the left air outlet to the front air outlet, thereby achieving front air outlet; similarly, when the right damper opens the right air outlet, the airflow in the right air outlet duct can flow through the right air outlet to the front air outlet, thereby achieving front air outlet. Thus, the above arrangement enables front air outlet of the air outlet device. Therefore, the above arrangement enables left, right, and front air outlets of the air outlet device. When the user does not need front air outlet, the left damper can close the left air outlet, and / or the right damper can close the right air outlet, thereby limiting the airflow from the front air outlet. Therefore, the above arrangement enables diverse air outlet configurations of the air outlet device and improves the air outlet effect. When the left damper opens the left air outlet, and the right damper opens the right air outlet, the airflow volume from the front air outlet can be increased.

[0028] In addition, when the left damper opens the left air outlet, the left damper rotates into the left air outlet duct. When the left damper rotates, it can be closer to one side of the wall panel and further away from the other side of the wall panel. In this way, the air volume of the left air outlet duct can be reduced while the air volume of the left air outlet duct is increased, or the air volume of the left air outlet duct can be increased while the air volume of the left air outlet duct is reduced. This allows for the adjustment of both the air volume of the left air outlet duct and the air volume of the left air outlet, further improving the flexibility of air outlet.

[0029] Similarly, when the right damper opens the right air outlet, the right damper rotates into the right air outlet duct. When the right damper rotates, it moves closer to one side of the wall panel of the right air outlet duct and further away from the other side of the wall panel. In this way, the air volume of the right air outlet duct can be reduced while the air volume of the right air outlet duct is increased, or the air volume of the right air outlet duct can be increased while the air volume of the right air outlet duct is reduced. This allows for the simultaneous adjustment of the air volume of the right air outlet duct and the air volume of the right air outlet duct.

[0030] Therefore, the left damper can simultaneously open and close the left air vent, regulate the airflow of the left exhaust duct, and regulate the airflow of the left air vent. Similarly, the right damper can simultaneously open and close the right air vent, regulate the airflow of the right exhaust duct, and regulate the airflow of the right air vent.

Detailed Implementation

[0034] The specific embodiments of this disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit this disclosure.

[0035] In this disclosure, unless otherwise stated, directional terms such as "up," "down," "front," "back," "left," and "right" are used for reference. Figures 1 to 9 The terms "up," "down," "front," "back," "left," and "right" are used. "Up" corresponds to the top, and "down" corresponds to the bottom. The up and down directions can also be referenced to the direction of gravity of the air outlet device. "Inner" and "outer" refer to the inner and outer contours of each component. The terms "first" and "second" are used to distinguish one element from another and do not indicate sequence or importance. Furthermore, in the following description, when referring to the accompanying drawings, the same reference numerals in different drawings indicate the same or similar elements, which will not be repeated here.

[0036] According to some embodiments of this disclosure, an air outlet device is provided, with reference to... Figures 1 to 9 As shown, the air outlet device includes: an air duct structure 1; and a flow divider cone 2, which is disposed in the air duct structure 1 and includes a left flow divider plate 21, a right flow divider plate 22 and a front plate 23. The left flow divider plate 21 and the right flow divider plate 22 are arranged at an angle and form a apex angle 24. The left flow divider plate 21 and the air duct structure 1 form a left air outlet duct 10, and the right flow divider plate 22 and the air duct structure 1 form a right air outlet duct 20. In this way, the apex 24 can split the airflow blown towards the split cone 2 by the air duct structure 1 to the left and right, and then use the left split plate 21 to introduce the airflow into the left air outlet duct 10. Thus, the airflow can be blown out through the left air outlet 101 of the left air outlet duct 10. Similarly, use the right split plate 22 to introduce the airflow into the right air outlet duct 20. Thus, the airflow can be blown out through the right air outlet 201 of the right air outlet duct 20. Thus, the left and right air outlets of the air outlet device can be realized.

[0037] The front panel 23 has a front air outlet 231; the left diverter 21 includes a left air outlet 213 and a left damper 214 rotatably disposed on the left air outlet 213. The left air outlet 213 is connected to the front air outlet 231. The left damper 214 is used to close or open the left air outlet 213 and is disposed in the left air outlet duct 10 to change the distance between the end of the left damper 214 and the two side walls of the left air outlet duct 10. And / or, the right diverter 22 includes a right air outlet 221 and a right damper 222 movably disposed on the right air outlet 221. The right air outlet 221 is connected to the front air outlet 231. The right damper 222 is used to close or open the right air outlet 221 and is disposed in the right air outlet duct 20 to change the distance between the end of the right damper 222 and the two side walls of the right air outlet duct 20.

[0038] Through the above technical solution, in the air outlet device provided in this disclosure, when the left damper 214 opens the left air outlet 213, the airflow in the left air outlet duct 10 can flow to the front air outlet 231 through the left air outlet 213, thereby achieving front air outlet; similarly, when the right damper 222 opens the right air outlet 221, the airflow in the right air outlet duct 20 can flow to the front air outlet 231 through the right air outlet 221, thereby achieving front air outlet. Thus, the above arrangement enables front air outlet of the air outlet device. Therefore, the above arrangement enables left, right, and front air outlets of the air outlet device. When the user does not need front air outlet, the left damper 214 can close the left air outlet 213, and / or the right damper 222 can close the right air outlet 221, thereby restricting air outlet from the front air outlet 231. Therefore, the above arrangement enables diverse air outlets of the air outlet device and improves the air outlet effect. When the left damper 214 opens the left air vent 213, and the right damper 222 opens the right air vent 221, the air volume of the front air outlet 231 can be increased.

[0039] In addition, when the left damper 214 opens the left air outlet 213, the left damper 214 rotates into the left air outlet duct 10. When the left damper 214 rotates, it can be closer to one side wall panel of the left air outlet duct 10 and further away from the other side wall panel. In this way, the air volume of the left air outlet duct 10 can be reduced while the air volume of the left air outlet 213 is increased, or the air volume of the left air outlet duct 10 can be increased while the air volume of the left air outlet duct 10 is reduced. This way, the air volume of the left air outlet duct 10 and the air volume of the left air outlet 213 can be adjusted at the same time, further improving the flexibility of air outlet.

[0040] Similarly, when the right damper 222 opens the right air outlet 221, the right damper 222 rotates into the right air outlet duct 20. When the right damper 222 rotates, it moves closer to one side wall panel of the right air outlet duct 20 and further away from the other side wall panel. In this way, the air volume of the right air outlet duct 20 can be reduced while the air volume of the right air outlet 221 is increased, or the air volume of the right air outlet 221 can be reduced while the air volume of the right air outlet duct 20 is increased. This way, the air volume of the right air outlet duct 20 and the air volume of the right air outlet 221 can be adjusted simultaneously.

[0041] Therefore, the left damper 214 can simultaneously open and close the left air vent 213, adjust the air volume of the left air outlet duct 10, and adjust the air volume of the left air vent 213. Similarly, the right damper 222 can simultaneously open and close the right air vent 221, adjust the air volume of the right air outlet duct 20, and adjust the air volume of the right air vent 221.

[0042] In this context, the end of the left damper 214 refers to the end furthest from the hinge end, and similarly, the end of the right damper 222 refers to the end furthest from the hinge end.

[0043] In some embodiments of this disclosure, reference is made to Figures 1 to 7As shown, the left damper 214 can be rotatably mounted at the left air outlet 213 around a rotation axis extending in the vertical direction. In this way, when the left damper 214 rotates to the left, the left air outlet 213 can be opened and the air volume of the left air outlet duct 10 can be adjusted. The structure is simple and occupies little space.

[0044] In some embodiments of this disclosure, reference is made to Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the right damper 222 can be rotatably mounted at the right air outlet 221 around a rotation axis extending in the vertical direction. In this way, when the right damper 222 rotates to the right, the right air outlet 221 can be opened and the air volume of the right air outlet duct 20 can be adjusted. The structure is simple and occupies little space.

[0045] In some embodiments of this disclosure, reference is made to Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the side walls of the left air outlet duct include a left wall panel 102 and a left fixed plate 215 of the left diverter plate 21. When the left damper 214 opens the left air outlet 213, the left damper 214 is used to decrease the distance from the left wall panel 102 when the distance from the left fixed plate 215 is increased. In this way, when the distance between the left damper 214 and the left fixed plate 215 is increased, the air intake of the left air outlet 213 can be increased, and when the distance between the left damper 214 and the left wall panel 102 is decreased, the air outlet of the left air outlet duct 10 can be decreased.

[0046] In some embodiments of this disclosure, reference is made to Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the side walls of the right air outlet duct include a right side wall panel 202 and a right fixed plate 223 of the right diverter plate 22. When the right damper 222 opens the right air outlet 221, the right damper 222 is used to decrease the distance from the right side wall panel 202 when the distance from the right fixed plate 223 is increased. In this way, when the distance between the right damper 222 and the right fixed plate 223 is increased, the air intake of the right air outlet 221 can be increased; when the distance between the right damper 222 and the right wall panel 202 is decreased, the air outlet of the right air outlet duct 20 can be decreased.

[0047] In some implementations, reference Figure 7 As shown, the left air damper 214 includes multiple left air sweeping plates 2141. When the left air damper 214 closes the left air outlet 213, the multiple left air sweeping plates 2141 overlap in sequence, so that the multiple left air sweeping plates 2141 can jointly close the left air outlet 213. When the left air damper 214 is located in the left air outlet duct 10, the left air sweeping plates 2141 are used for left and right air sweeping. In this way, when the left air damper 214 opens the left air outlet 213, the left air sweeping plates 2141 can also perform left and right air sweeping, improving the air outlet effect.

[0048] Similarly, the right damper 222 includes multiple right air-sweeping plates 2221. When the right damper 222 closes the right air outlet 221, the multiple right air-sweeping plates 2221 overlap in sequence, so that the multiple right air-sweeping plates 2221 can jointly close the right air outlet 221. When the right damper 222 is located in the right air outlet duct 20, the right air-sweeping plates 2221 are used for left and right air sweeping. Thus, when the right damper 222 opens the right air outlet 221, the right air-sweeping plates 2221 can also perform left and right air sweeping, improving the air outlet effect.

[0049] In some embodiments, the left air outlet duct 10 includes a left air outlet 101, and the left air damper 214 may have a first closed position to close the left air outlet 101, so that the left air damper 214 can also be used to open and close the left air outlet 101.

[0050] Similarly, the right air outlet duct 20 includes a right air outlet 201, and the right damper 222 can have a second closed position that closes the right air outlet 201. In this way, the right damper 222 can also be used to open and close the right air outlet 201.

[0051] In some implementations, reference Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the flow divider cone 2 includes a left mounting plate 26 and a right mounting plate 27. The left mounting plate 26 is angled to the front plate 23 and connected between the front plate 23 and the left flow divider 21. The right mounting plate 27 is angled to the front plate 23 and connected between the front plate 27 and the right flow divider 22.

[0052] In some embodiments, the left mounting plate 26 may be perpendicular to the front plate 23, and the right mounting plate 27 may be perpendicular to the front plate 23; this disclosure does not limit this.

[0053] In some implementations, reference Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the left diverter plate 21 may include a first plate 211 and a second plate 212 arranged at an angle. The first plate 211 is located upstream of the second plate 212, and the second plate 212 may include a left damper 214 and a left air outlet 213. Since the first plate 211 is relatively close to the apex 24 of the diverter cone 2 and has limited space for movement, arranging the left damper 214 and the left air outlet 213 on the second plate 212 allows the left damper 214 to be moved away from the diverter cone 2, thereby increasing the rotation space of the left damper 214 and facilitating the adjustment of the airflow volume of the left outlet duct 10. Of course, this arrangement can also avoid the baffle 40 described below, ensuring that the movement of the baffle 40 does not interfere with the movement of the left damper 214.

[0054] In some embodiments of this disclosure, reference is made to Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the left diverter 21 and / or the right diverter 22 include a diverter 30 and a baffle 40. The diverter 30 is connected to the front air outlet 231. The baffle 40 is movably disposed at the diverter 30 to open or close the diverter 30.

[0055] Through the above technical solution, in the air outlet device provided in this disclosure, when the left diverter 21 includes a diverter port 30 and a baffle 40, when the baffle 40 opens the diverter port 30, the airflow in the left air outlet duct 10 can flow through the diverter port 30 to the front air outlet 231, thereby achieving front air outlet; similarly, when the right diverter 22 includes a diverter port 30 and a baffle 40, when the baffle 40 opens the diverter port 30, the airflow in the right air outlet duct 20 can flow through the diverter port 30 to the front air outlet 231, thereby achieving front air outlet. Thus, the above arrangement can achieve front air outlet of the air outlet device. Therefore, the above arrangement can achieve left, right, and front air outlet of the air outlet device. When the user does not need front air outlet, the baffle 40 can close the diverter port 30, thereby limiting the airflow from the front air outlet 231. Therefore, the above arrangement can achieve diverse air outlet configurations of the air outlet device and improve the air outlet effect.

[0056] When both the left and right splitter plates 21 and 22 include baffles 40 and splitter ports 30, the two splitter ports 30 can be opened simultaneously to increase the air volume of the front air outlet 231.

[0057] Furthermore, when the left damper 214 opens the left air vent 213, the baffle 40 opens the diversion port 30, which further increases the airflow of the front air outlet 231. Similarly, when the right damper 222 opens the right air vent 221, the baffle 40 opens the diversion port 30, which further increases the airflow of the front air outlet 231. Of course, when the left damper 214 opens the left air vent 213, and when the right damper 222 opens the right air vent 221, the baffle 40 opens the diversion port 30. At this time, the airflow can flow from the left air vent 213, the right air vent 221, and the diversion port 30 to the front air outlet 231, thereby effectively increasing the airflow volume of the front air outlet 231.

[0058] In some implementations, reference Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the flow divider 30 and the baffle 40 can be positioned close to the top corner 24, so that the airflow can flow to the front outlet 231 faster and more timely. That is, the flow divider 30 and the baffle 40 can be positioned at the intersection of the left flow divider 21 and the right flow divider 22, and the left flow divider 21 and the right flow divider 22 can intersect at the top corner 24.

[0059] In some embodiments of this disclosure, reference is made to Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 5As shown, the air duct structure 1 may include an air outlet duct 11, and a diverting cone 2 is located downstream of the air outlet duct 11. The apex angle 24 is used to divert the airflow flowing out of the air outlet duct 11. In this way, when the airflow in the air outlet duct 11 flows towards the diverting cone 2, the diverting cone 2 can use the apex angle 24 to divert the airflow to the left and to the right, which facilitates the airflow from the left air outlet duct 10 and the right air outlet duct 20.

[0060] In some implementations, reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the air outlet duct 11 extends at an angle from rear to front and to the left, or from rear to front and to the right. This facilitates the fit between the air outlet duct 11 and the volute of the air duct structure 1. When the air outlet duct 11 extends at an angle from rear to front and to the left, the right splitter plate 22 may include a splitter port 30 and a baffle 40. When the air outlet duct 11 extends at an angle from rear to front and to the right, the left splitter plate 21 may include a splitter port 30 and a baffle 40.

[0061] In some implementations, reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, at least one fan 8 can be installed in the air duct structure 1. The fan 8 is located upstream of the air outlet duct 11, so that the fan 8 can introduce airflow into the air outlet duct 11.

[0062] In some embodiments, reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the fan 8 can be configured as a cross-flow fan. Therefore, the air outlet device of this disclosure can be configured as an air outlet device with a single cross-flow fan. After the cross-flow fan introduces airflow into the air outlet channel 11, the airflow can flow through the air outlet channel 11 to the diversion cone 2, and then be diverted by the apex angle 24 of the diversion cone 2, flowing to the left into the left air outlet duct 10 and to the right into the right air outlet duct 20. Of course, in other embodiments, the fan 8 can also be configured as a centrifugal fan, and this disclosure does not limit this.

[0063] In some embodiments, reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the air outlet device may include a housing 7, and the aforementioned fan 8, air duct structure 1, and flow divider cone 2 may be disposed within the housing 7, which is not a limitation of this disclosure. The left air outlet 101, right air outlet 201, and front air outlet 231 are exposed outside the housing 7.

[0064] In some implementations, reference Figures 1 to 6As shown, the left diffuser 21, right diffuser 22, and front panel 23 form an air outlet cavity 25, which connects the front air outlet 231 with the diffuser 30, the left air outlet 213, and / or the right air outlet 221. Thus, when the diffuser 30 is open, airflow can flow into the air outlet cavity 25 through the diffuser 30, and then flow through the air outlet cavity 25 to the front air outlet 231, thereby achieving airflow between the front air outlet 231 and the diffuser 30. When the baffle 40 closes the diffuser 30, the air outlet cavity 25 is separated from the left air outlet duct 10, i.e., they are not connected. Furthermore, the air outlet cavity 25 is separated from the right air outlet duct 20, i.e., they are not connected.

[0065] Similarly, when the left air vent 213 is opened, the airflow can flow into the air outlet 25 through the left air vent 213, and then flow into the front air outlet 231 through the air outlet 25. Thus, the left air vent 213 and the front air outlet 231 can be connected.

[0066] Similarly, when the right air vent 221 is opened, the airflow can flow into the air outlet cavity 25 through the right air vent 221, and then flow into the front air outlet 231 through the air outlet cavity 25. Thus, the right air vent 221 and the front air outlet 231 can be connected.

[0067] In some implementations, reference Figures 3 to 6 As shown, when the baffle 40 opens the diversion port 30, the baffle 40 can be located inside the air outlet cavity 25. This avoids the baffle 40 being located inside the left air outlet duct 10 or the right air outlet duct 20 when the diversion port 30 is opened, which would affect the air volume of the left air outlet duct 10 or the right air outlet duct 20.

[0068] In some embodiments, the inner wall of the air outlet cavity 25 may be provided with a receiving groove (not shown in the figure), and when the baffle 40 opens the diversion port 30, the baffle may be located in the receiving groove. In this way, when the baffle is located in the air outlet cavity 25, it can be accommodated in the receiving groove to reduce or even avoid turbulence when the airflow passes through the baffle.

[0069] In some implementations, reference Figure 1 As shown, both the left air outlet duct 10 and the right air outlet duct 20 are equipped with sweeping blades 3. The sweeping blades 3 are used for vertical air sweeping, and the sweeping blades 3 are connected to a motor (not shown in the figure). The motor can be installed outside the air outlet cavity 25. In this way, it can be avoided that if the motor is installed in the air outlet cavity 25, it will occupy the air outlet space of the air outlet cavity 25, thereby affecting the air volume of the front air outlet 231. That is, the above arrangement can ensure the air volume of the front air outlet 231.

[0070] In some implementations, reference Figure 1 As shown, the motor can also be installed inside the air outlet cavity 25 to make full use of the space of the air outlet cavity 25.

[0071] In some implementations, reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, when the baffle 40 closes the diversion port 30, the baffle 40 is used to form the apex 24. In this way, when the baffle 40 opens the diversion port 30, since the diversion port 30 is closer to the apex 24, the airflow can enter the diversion port 30 first and flow to the front air outlet 231. Thus, the airflow volume of the front air outlet 231 can be guaranteed or even increased.

[0072] In some implementations, reference Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the left diverter plate 21 may include a first plate 211 and a second plate 212 arranged at an angle. The first plate 211 is located upstream of the second plate 212. The first plate 211 includes a baffle 40 and a diversion port 30. In this way, since the first plate 211 is located upstream and closer to the apex 24, the baffle 40 and the diversion port 30 of the first plate 211 can be closer to the apex 24, so that when the baffle 40 closes the diversion port 30, it forms an apex 24 with the right diverter plate 22.

[0073] In some embodiments, reference Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the angle between the first plate 211 and the front-back direction can be smaller than the angle between the second plate 212 and the front-back direction. In this way, the second plate 212 can further guide the airflow to the left, which facilitates the left air outlet duct 10 to outlet to the left.

[0074] In some implementations, reference Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the baffle 40 is rotatably disposed at the diversion port 30 about a rotation axis extending in the vertical direction. This allows the baffle 40 to rotate left or right to open or close the diversion port 30. Specifically, when the baffle 40 is located on the left diversion plate 21, the baffle 40 can rotate to the right to open the diversion port 30. When the baffle 40 is located on the right diversion plate 22, the baffle 40 can rotate to the left to open the diversion port 30.

[0075] Of course, in other embodiments, the baffle 40 may also be movably configured to open or close the diversion port 30 by means of movement, and this disclosure does not limit this. Specifically, when the baffle 40 is located on the left diversion plate 21, the baffle 40 can move in a direction parallel to the left diversion plate 21. When the baffle 40 is located on the right diversion plate 22, the baffle 40 can move in a direction parallel to the right diversion plate 22.

[0076] In some implementations, reference Figures 1 to 6As shown, the baffle 40 of the first plate 211 is rotatably connected to the right diverter plate 22. This allows for the rotatable connection between the baffle 40 of the first plate 211 and the right diverter plate 22, facilitating the opening or closing of the diverter port 30 by the baffle 40. Of course, the baffle 40 of the first plate 211 can also be rotatably connected to other parts of the first plate 211 besides the baffle 40; this disclosure does not impose any limitations on this.

[0077] In some embodiments, reference Figures 1 to 6 As shown, a first overlapping portion 301 may be provided at the diversion port 30, and the baffle 40 may include a second overlapping portion 401. When the baffle 40 closes the diversion port 30, the first overlapping portion 301 and the second overlapping portion 401 can overlap in a shape-fitting manner. In this way, the sealing of the diversion port 30 can be ensured when the baffle 40 closes the diversion port 30, preventing airflow from leaking through the diversion port 30 to the front air outlet 231.

[0078] In some embodiments, reference Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, both the first overlapping portion 301 and the second overlapping portion 401 can be constructed as L-shaped overlapping portions. This facilitates planar overlapping between the two, ensuring sealing. That is, the first overlapping portion 301 overlaps in the overlapping groove of the second overlapping portion 401, and the second overlapping portion 401 overlaps in the overlapping groove of the first overlapping portion 301.

[0079] In some embodiments, reference Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, one of the left air vent 213 and the left air door 214 can be provided with a first overlapping part 301 and the other can be provided with a second overlapping part 401, thereby ensuring the sealing of the left air vent 213.

[0080] In some embodiments, reference Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, one of the right air vent 221 and the right air damper 222 can be provided with a first overlapping part 301 and the other can be provided with a second overlapping part 401, thereby ensuring the sealing of the right air vent 221.

[0081] In some implementations, reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 5As shown, the left air outlet duct 10 has a left air outlet 101, and the right air outlet duct 20 has a right air outlet 201. Both the left and right air outlet ducts can be equipped with air guides 5. The air guides 5 are used to open or close the corresponding left air outlet 101 or right air outlet 201. When the air guides 5 open the corresponding left air outlet 101 or right air outlet 201, they also guide air left and right. In this way, the air guides 5 can be used to open and close the corresponding left air outlet 101 or right air outlet 201 while ensuring their own air guiding function.

[0082] In some embodiments, reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the air guide 5 may include at least two air guide plates 51, which are arranged at intervals along the thickness direction of the air guide plates 51. In this way, the arrangement of at least two air guide plates 51 can increase the air volume guided by the air guide 5. When the air guide 5 closes the left air outlet 101 or the right air outlet 201, the outermost air guide plate 51 closes the corresponding left air outlet 101 or right air outlet 201.

[0083] In some embodiments, the air guide plate 51 may be provided with multiple air outlets (not shown in the figure), and the air outlets may penetrate the air guide plate 51 along the thickness direction of the air guide plate 51. In this way, flexible air guiding of the air guide plate 51 can be achieved.

[0084] In some implementations, reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the air outlet device may include a bracket 6, and the aforementioned air guide 5 may be rotatably connected to the bracket 6, which is not a limitation of this disclosure.

[0085] In some implementations, reference Figures 1 to 9 As shown, the front air outlet 231 may be provided with a front air damper 4, which is movably disposed at the front air outlet 231 in the front-to-back direction. In this way, the front air outlet 231 can be opened when the front air damper 4 is pushed forward, and the front air outlet 231 can be closed when the front air damper 4 is pushed back.

[0086] In some implementations, reference Figure 9 As shown, the front air damper 4 is rotatably mounted at the front air outlet 231 about a rotation axis extending in the left-right direction, so as to open or close the front air outlet 231. In this way, the front air damper 4 can open or close the front air outlet 231 by rotating.

[0087] In some implementations, reference Figure 8 and Figure 9As shown, the front air outlet 231 can be located at the top of the front panel 23. In this way, when the front air outlet 231 blows air, the airflow can be blown out from a higher position. Therefore, when the air outlet device is cooling, the cold air blown out by the front air outlet 231 can flow from top to bottom, thereby realizing the front air outlet canopy wind and improving the user experience.

[0088] In some implementations, the front air outlet 231 may be located between the left air outlet 101 and the right air outlet 201 in the left-right direction.

[0089] Below, this disclosure will provide a detailed description of the air outlet device in conjunction with the specific embodiments described above. (Reference) Figures 1 to 9 As shown, the air outlet device can have a first air outlet mode. In the first air outlet mode, the baffle 40 closes the diversion port 30, the front air damper 4 closes the front air outlet 231; the left air damper 214 closes the left air outlet 213, and the right air damper 222 closes the right air outlet 221; the air guide 5 located in the left air outlet duct 10 opens the left air outlet 101 and guides the air to the left; the air guide 5 located in the right air outlet duct 20 opens the right air outlet 201 and guides the air to the right. Thus, the left and right air outlets of the air outlet device can be realized.

[0090] Among them, reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the air outlet device can have a second air outlet mode. In the second air outlet mode, the baffle 40 opens the diversion port 30, the front air damper 4 opens the front air outlet 231; the left air damper 214 closes the left air outlet 213, and the right air damper 222 closes the right air outlet 221; the air guide 5 located in the left air outlet duct 10 opens the left air outlet 101 and guides the air to the left; the air guide 5 located in the right air outlet duct 20 opens the right air outlet 201 and guides the air to the right. Thus, the left air outlet, front air outlet and right air outlet of the air outlet device can be realized.

[0091] Among them, reference Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the air outlet device can have a third air outlet mode. In the third air outlet mode, the baffle 40 opens the diversion port 30, the front damper 4 opens the front air outlet 231; the left damper 214 opens the left air outlet 213, and the right damper 222 opens the right air outlet 221; the air guide 5 located in the left air outlet duct 10 opens the left air outlet 101 and guides air to the left; the air guide 5 located in the right air outlet duct 20 opens the right air outlet 201 and guides air to the right. Thus, the air outlet device can achieve left, front, and right air outlets. Furthermore, compared to the second air outlet mode, the air volume of the front air outlet 231 is larger in the third air outlet mode. In addition, in the third air outlet mode, the left damper 214 can adjust the air volume of the left air outlet duct 10; and the right damper 222 can adjust the air volume of the right air outlet duct 20.

[0092] The air outlet device can have a fourth air outlet mode. In the fourth air outlet mode, the baffle 40 opens the diversion port 30, the front air damper 4 opens the front air outlet 231; the left air damper 214 closes the left air outlet 213, and the right air damper 222 closes the right air outlet 221; the air guide 5 located in the left air outlet duct 10 closes the left air outlet 101; and the air guide 5 located in the right air outlet duct 20 closes the right air outlet 201. Thus, the front air outlet of the air outlet device can be realized.

[0093] The air outlet device can have a fifth air outlet mode. In the fifth air outlet mode, the baffle 40 opens the diversion port 30, the front air damper 4 opens the front air outlet 231; the left air damper 214 opens the left air outlet 213, and the right air damper 222 opens the right air outlet 221; the air guide 5 located in the left air outlet duct 10 closes the left air outlet 101; and the air guide 5 located in the right air outlet duct 20 closes the right air outlet 201. This allows for front air outlet operation. Furthermore, compared to the fourth air outlet mode, the air volume of the front air outlet 231 is larger in the fifth air outlet mode.

[0094] According to a second aspect of this disclosure, an indoor unit is provided, including the air outlet device as described above. This indoor unit possesses all the beneficial effects of the aforementioned air outlet device, which will not be elaborated upon herein.

[0095] In some embodiments, the indoor unit described above may be configured as a floor-standing indoor unit, and this disclosure does not limit this.

[0096] According to a third aspect of this disclosure, an air conditioner is provided, including the air outlet device as described above. This air conditioner has all the beneficial effects of the described air outlet device, which will not be elaborated upon herein.
