[0041] The indoor unit of the air conditioner is the indoor part of the split air conditioner or the indoor terminal model of the central air conditioner, which is used to adjust the indoor air, specifically, including adjusting the temperature, humidity, air quality of the air, humidifying, dehumidifying the indoor air, introducing fresh air, etc. The air conditioner can form a vapor compression refrigeration cycle system with an evaporator, condenser, compressor, throttling device and other necessary components to output cold air / hot air through the fan to achieve cooling and heating of the indoor environment.

[0042] Figure 1 is a structural schematic diagram of an air-conditioning indoor unit 10 according to an embodiment of the utility model; Figure 2 Cut in horizontal plane Figure 1 A schematic cross-sectional view of the air conditioner indoor unit 10 is shown; Figure 3 yes Figure 2 The diagram is a schematic diagram of the state of the air conditioner indoor unit 10 after being rotated between the first body 100 and the second body 200 by a preset angle. Figure 2 and Figure 3 The wind direction is indicated by arrows, wherein the hollow arrow indicates the wind inlet direction and the solid arrow indicates the wind outlet direction.

[0043] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the air conditioner indoor unit 10 according to the embodiment of the utility model can generally include a first body 100 and a second body 200.

[0044] The first body 100 includes a first housing 110 and a first fan 130 disposed in the first housing 110. The first housing 110 is provided with a first air outlet 112. The first fan 130 is used to blow the airflow in the first housing 110 out through the first air outlet 112. The airflow from the first air outlet 112 can be used to regulate indoor air.

[0045] The second body 200 includes a second housing 210 and a second fan 230 disposed in the second housing 210. The second housing 210 is provided with a second air outlet 212. The second fan 230 is used to blow the air in the second housing 210 out through the second air outlet 212. The airflow from the second air outlet 212 can be used to adjust the indoor air.

[0046] The first housing 110 and the second housing 210 are connected in a hinged manner, that is, they are rotatably connected, so that the first body 100 and the second body 200 can rotate relative to each other, that is, the angle between the first body 100 and the second body 200 is adjustable. For example, Figure 2 It shows the state where the angle between the two is 0. Figure 3 The state where the angle is a is shown.

[0047] Existing air conditioner indoor units are all integrated. For example, wall-mounted air conditioner indoor units are usually an integrated horizontal strip structure, vertical air conditioner indoor units are usually an upright columnar structure, and patio-type or ceiling-mounted air conditioner indoor units are usually embedded in the ceiling, with an air inlet and outlet structure at the bottom, also an integrated structure. The shape is relatively fixed and lacks innovation.

[0048] The air conditioner indoor unit 10 of the embodiment of the utility model comprises two relatively independent first bodies 100 and second bodies 200, each of which has its own air outlet structure and independent functions, and the first body 100 and the second body 200 are hingedly connected so that the two can rotate relative to each other and the angle between the two can be adjusted. In this way, the air conditioner indoor unit 10 can be adjusted to a variety of forms, and the shape is more novel and beautiful.

[0049] For example, the first body 100 and the second body 200 may be in Figure 2 In the alignment state shown, the first body 100 and the second body 200 are aligned side by side, so that the two form a whole in visual effect. Alternatively, the first body 100 and the second body 200 can also be relatively rotated to a separated state, such as Figure 3 , so that the two blow air in different directions.

[0050] The air-conditioning indoor unit 10 of the embodiment of the utility model can also adjust the air outlet angle by rotating the first body 100 and the second body 200, so that the air outlet angle coverage of the air-conditioning indoor unit 10 is larger and the adjustability is better.

[0051] In some embodiments, the user can manually rotate the first body 100 and the second body 200. In other embodiments, a motor can also be configured to drive the first body 100 or the second body 200 to rotate relative to each other.

[0052] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the air conditioner indoor unit 10 may further include more bodies, for example, a third body, and a third housing of the third body is hinged to the second housing 210. For example, a fourth body may be further included, and a fourth housing of the fourth body is hinged to the third housing. Alternatively, more bodies may be included, which will not be described one by one here.

[0053] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the first body 100 and the second body 200 can be arranged side by side in the horizontal direction. The hinge shaft 300 between the first housing 110 and the second housing 210 is located between the two and extends in the vertical direction. In this way, the bottoms of the first housing 110 and the second housing 210 can be supported. Of course, in other embodiments, the first body 100 and the second body 200 can also be arranged in the vertical direction, for example, the second body 200 is located above the first body 100, and the hinge shaft extends in the horizontal direction. This simple deformation can also be designed and implemented by those skilled in the art, and will not be elaborated here.

[0054] Furthermore, in some embodiments, Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the first housing 110 and the second housing 210 are arranged side by side in the transverse direction of the air conditioner indoor unit 10, the first transverse end wall 101 of the first housing 110 and the second transverse end wall 201 of the second housing 210 are arranged opposite to each other, and the hinge shaft 300 is arranged between the first transverse end wall 101 and the second transverse end wall 201. For example, the hinge shaft 300 can be connected to the front edge, middle or other position of the first transverse end wall 101 and the second transverse end wall 201.

[0055] Preferably, the hinge shaft 300 is disposed between the rear edge of the first transverse end wall 101 and the rear edge of the second transverse end wall 201. This allows the air outlet coverage of the air conditioner indoor unit 10 to be larger. For example, when the first body 100 and the second body 200 are arranged side by side and both face forward, both of them discharge air forward. Figure 2 When the air outlet coverage needs to be enlarged, the first body 100 and the second body can be rotated obliquely backward away from each other, so that the left first body 100 faces the left front, and the right first body 100 faces the right front. Figure 3 , so that the air outlet air flows of the two are blown away from each other, making the coverage area of ​​the air outlet air flow of the air conditioner indoor unit 10 larger.

[0056] Furthermore, in some embodiments, Figure 2 As shown, the first housing 110 and the second housing 210 are configured to be rotatable to a flush state where the front edge of the first transverse end wall 101 is connected to or adjacent to the front edge of the second transverse end wall 201 . Figure 2 Of course, a certain spacing distance may be provided between the front edge of the first transverse end wall 101 and the front edge of the second transverse end wall 201 to meet the requirements of process, assembly and aesthetics.

[0057] Furthermore, in the aforementioned flush state, the first transverse end wall 101 and the second transverse end wall 201 can be fitted together to enhance the integrity of the two. Specifically, the first transverse end wall 101 and the second transverse end wall 201 can both be plane walls.

[0058] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the first transverse end wall 101 and the second transverse end wall 201 may also be provided with an air inlet structure to increase the air inlet volume and make the air inlet smoother.

[0059] In some embodiments of the utility model, the first housing 110 may be provided with a first air inlet 111 to allow indoor air to enter the first housing 110 through the first air inlet 111 and be blown out through the first air outlet 112. The second housing 210 may be provided with a second air inlet 211 to allow indoor air to enter the second housing 210 through the second air inlet 211 and be blown out through the second air outlet 212.

[0060] like Figure 2 As shown, in the lateral direction of the air conditioner indoor unit 10, the first air inlet 111 and the second air inlet 211 are located between the first air outlet 112 and the second air outlet 212. That is, the first air inlet 111 of the first housing 110 located on the left is located at the left part of the first housing 110, and the second air inlet 211 of the second housing 210 located on the right is located at the right part of the second housing 210. In this way, the first air outlet 112 and the second air outlet 212 are further apart. When the first housing 110 and the second housing 210 are in Figure 3 In the separation state shown, the diffusion range of the two air outlet air flows is made larger.

[0061] In some embodiments of the utility model, a first air guide device 160 may be provided at the first air outlet 112, and a second air guide device 260 may be provided at the second air outlet 212. The first air guide device 160 and the second air guide device 260 are configured to make the airflows of the first air outlet 112 and the second air outlet 212 parallel, converge or move away from each other, so that the air conditioner indoor unit 10 has more air supply modes. Figure 2 It shows the state where two airflows are parallel. Figure 3 It illustrates the state where two air outlet air flows are moving away from each other.

[0062] Specifically, the first wind guiding device 160 and the second wind guiding device 260 may respectively include at least one wind guiding plate for adjusting the directions of the first air outlet 112 and the second air outlet 212 .

[0063] For example, the first air guide device 160 includes two first outer guide plates 161 and a first inner guide plate 162 which are arranged side by side in a horizontal direction at the first air outlet 112. One end of the first outer guide plate 161 is rotatably mounted at the first air outlet 112 around a vertical axis, and is used to open and close the first air outlet 112, and is used to adjust the air outlet direction of the first air outlet 112. One end of the first outer guide plate 161 is rotatably mounted at the first air outlet 112 around a vertical axis, and is used to adjust the air outlet direction of the first air outlet 112. The second air guide device 260 includes two second outer guide plates 261 and a second inner guide plate 262 which are arranged side by side in a horizontal direction at the second air outlet 212. Both ends of the second outer guide plate 261 are rotatably mounted at the second air outlet 212 around a vertical axis, and are used to open and close the second air outlet 212, and are used to adjust the air outlet direction of the second air outlet 212. The two ends of the second outer guide plate 261 are rotatably mounted at the second air outlet 212 around a vertical axis to adjust the air outlet direction of the second air outlet 212. The hinge axis of the first outer guide plate 161 and the second outer guide plate 261 is located between the hinge axes of the first inner guide plate 162 and the second inner guide plate 262.

[0064] When the first outer guide plate 161 and the second outer guide plate 261 extend forward in parallel with each other, the two airflows are parallel. Figure 2 When the first outer guide plate 161 and the second outer guide plate 261 move away from each other from the back to the front, the two air flows move away from each other. Figure 3 When the first outer guide plate 161 and the second outer guide plate 261 approach each other from the back to the front, and the first inner guide plate 162 and the second inner guide plate 262 approach each other from the back to the front, the two air flows converge at the front of the air conditioner indoor unit 10, making the wind force stronger and the air delivery distance farther.

[0065] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 2 As shown, the first housing 110 and the second housing 210 may be provided with heat exchangers, namely, the heat exchanger 120 and the heat exchanger 220, so that the first air outlet 112 and the second air outlet 212 both blow out heat exchange airflows. The heat exchanger 120 in the first housing 110 and the heat exchanger 220 in the second housing 210 may be connected in series or in parallel, or in other connection relationships in the vapor compression refrigeration cycle system.

[0066] Specifically, under the action of the first fan 130, indoor air enters the first housing 110 through the first air inlet 111 to form an inlet airflow. The heat exchanger 120 exchanges heat with the inlet airflow to form a heat exchange airflow. The heat exchange airflow is blown back to the indoor environment through the first air outlet 112 to adjust the indoor environment. When the air conditioner operates in cooling mode, the heat exchange airflow is a cold airflow. When the air conditioner operates in heating mode, the heat exchange airflow is a hot airflow. Of course, the air conditioner can have only cooling function, or both cooling and heating functions.

[0067] Under the action of the second fan 230, the indoor air enters the second housing 210 through the second air inlet 211 to form an inlet airflow. The heat exchanger 120 exchanges heat with the inlet airflow to form a heat exchange airflow. The heat exchange airflow is blown back to the indoor environment through the second air outlet 212 to adjust the indoor environment. When the air conditioner is running in cooling mode, the heat exchange airflow is a cold airflow. When the air conditioner is running in heating mode, the heat exchange airflow is a hot airflow. Of course, the air conditioner can have only cooling function, or both cooling and heating functions.

[0068] Furthermore, if Figure 2 As shown, both the first fan 130 and the second fan 230 are crossflow fans with axes extending in the vertical direction. A first crossflow duct 115 may be provided in the first housing 110, the outlet of the first crossflow duct 115 is connected to the first air outlet 112, and the first fan 130 is provided at the inlet of the first crossflow duct 115. A second crossflow duct 215 may be provided in the second housing 210, the outlet of the second crossflow duct 215 is connected to the second air outlet 212, and the second fan 230 is provided at the inlet of the second crossflow duct 215.

[0069] Furthermore, a first partition plate 170 may be provided in the first casing 110. The first partition plate 170 extends from the wall of the first casing 110 where the first air inlet 111 is provided to the surface of the heat exchanger 120, and is used for dividing the incoming air flow into two streams, and directing the two incoming air flows to different parts of the heat exchanger 120, respectively, so as to enable the incoming air flow to flow to the rear section of the heat exchanger 120, 220 away from the first air inlet 111, so as to avoid insufficient heat exchange in the rear section of the heat exchanger 120 due to too little incoming air flow, resulting in reduced efficiency of the heat exchanger 120, thereby reducing the energy efficiency of the air conditioner.

[0070] Similarly, a second partition plate 270 is provided in the second casing 210. The second partition plate 270 extends from the wall of the second casing 210 where the second air inlet 211 is opened to the surface of the heat exchanger 220, and is used to separate the incoming air flow into two streams, and respectively guide the two incoming air flows to different parts of the heat exchanger 220, especially to enable the incoming air flow to flow to the rear section of the heat exchanger 220 away from the first air inlet 111, so as to avoid insufficient heat exchange in the rear section of the heat exchanger 220 due to too little incoming air flow, resulting in reduced efficiency of the heat exchanger 220, thereby reducing the energy efficiency of the air conditioner.

[0071] In other embodiments, a heat exchanger 220 is provided in the first housing 110 so that the first air outlet 112 blows out a heat exchange airflow, and the second air outlet 212 is used to blow out a non-heat exchange airflow, so that the two have a clear division of labor. Specifically, the non-heat exchange airflow can be a mixture of one or more of various airflows such as indoor air, purified airflow, humidified airflow, etc.

[0072] The heat exchange airflow and non-heat exchange airflow can be further mixed outside the air conditioner indoor unit 10 to achieve a mixed air effect, making the temperature of the heat exchange airflow closer to that of the indoor air, thereby avoiding the heat exchange airflow being too hot (when the air conditioner is heating) or too cold (when the air conditioner is cooling) to cause human discomfort.

[0073] In some embodiments of the present invention, the overall shape of the first housing 110 is symmetrical with the overall shape of the second housing 210 along a symmetry plane S, and the symmetry plane S passes through the center line of the hinge shaft 300, so that the overall shape of the air conditioner indoor unit 10 is more beautiful.

[0074] The solution of the utility model is particularly suitable for an embedded air-conditioning indoor unit 10, which does not need to be mounted on a wall or ceiling, making it more convenient to adjust the angle between the first housing 110 and the second housing 210.

[0075] Figure 4 yes Figure 2 The schematic diagram shows a state where the air conditioner indoor unit 10 is embedded in a cabinet.

[0076] like Figure 4 As shown, the air conditioner indoor unit 10 is embedded, and is used to be embedded in a preset chamber. The chamber can be a chamber of a cabinet, a wardrobe or other cabinets. Alternatively, the chamber is a chamber formed by digging a groove in a building wall. The embodiment of the utility model does not limit the chamber. The embedded installation makes the air conditioner indoor unit 10 more hidden and does not affect the overall decoration style of the room.
