[0075] The following describes embodiments of the present invention in detail. Examples of the embodiments 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 only to explain the present invention and are not to be construed as limiting the present invention.
[0076] like Figure 3-Figure 7 and Figure 15 As shown, the air conditioner 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a shell 10. The shell 10 is provided with a first air supply component and a second air supply component, and the farthest air supply distance of the first air supply component is greater than the farthest air supply distance of the second air supply component. The first air supply component includes a first air outlet 200, and the second air supply component includes a second air outlet 300. It should be explained that the first air outlet 200 and the second air outlet 300 are provided in the shell 10, and the first air outlet 200 and the second air outlet 300 both pass through the shell 10. The first air supply airflow formed by the first air supply component can flow out of the shell 10 from the first air outlet 200, and the second air supply airflow formed by the second air supply component can flow out of the shell 10 from the second air outlet 300. In the radial direction of the air conditioner 1, the farthest point that the first air supply airflow can reach is located radially outside the farthest point that the second air supply airflow can reach.
[0077] According to the air conditioner 1 of an embodiment of the present invention, by arranging the first air supply component and the second air supply component on the shell 10 of the air conditioner 1, the first air supply component and the second air supply component can realize air supply airflows with different air supply distances. The two air supply airflows can form a surround wind outlet effect indoors, so that the indoor airflow can fully flow and exchange heat, thereby quickly adjusting the temperature of different areas in the room, thereby improving the comfort of users.
[0078] like Figure 3-Figure 7 As shown, according to some embodiments of the present invention, the first air outlet 200 is located above or below the second air outlet 300. Alternatively, the first air outlet 200 is located to the left or right of the second air outlet 300. It is understood that in some examples of the present invention, the first air outlet 200 may be located above the second air outlet 300. In other examples of the present invention, the first air outlet 200 may be located below the second air outlet 300. In still other examples of the present invention, the first air outlet 200 may be located to the left of the second air outlet 300. In still other examples of the present invention, the first air outlet 200 may be located to the right of the second air outlet 300. In this way, the arrangement of the first air outlet 200 and the second air outlet 300 can be enriched, thereby meeting the air outlet needs of different users and different places, and also increasing the diversity of the appearance of the air conditioner 1 to meet the aesthetic needs of different users.
[0079] It should be noted that the terms "above", "below", "left" and "right" mentioned here are to be understood in a broad sense. "Above" can be understood as: in the up-down direction, the first air outlet 200 is located above the second air outlet 300, that is, the area above the upper edge of the second air outlet 300 can be understood as above the second air outlet 300, and "above" can include the directions directly above, slightly to the left above, slightly to the right above, slightly to the front above, and slightly to the back above. "Below" can be understood as: in the up-down direction, the first air outlet 200 is located below the second air outlet 300, that is, the area below the lower edge of the second air outlet 300 can be understood as below the second air outlet 300, and "below" can include the directions directly below, slightly to the left below, slightly to the right below, slightly to the front below, and slightly to the back below. "Left side" can be understood as follows: in the left-right direction, the first air outlet 200 is located to the left of the second air outlet 300, that is, the area to the left of the left edge of the second air outlet 300 can be understood as the left side of the second air outlet 300. "Left side" can include the left side, upper left side, lower left side, front left side, and rear left side. "Right side" can be understood as follows: in the left-right direction, the first air outlet 200 is located to the right of the second air outlet 300, that is, the area to the right of the right edge of the second air outlet 300 can be understood as the right side of the second air outlet 300. "Right side" can include the right side, upper right side, lower right side, front right side, and rear right side.
[0080] In addition, the directions or positional relationships indicated by “up”, “down”, “front”, “back”, “left” and “right” mentioned above are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description. They do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction, be constructed and operated in a specific direction. Therefore, they should not be understood as limiting the present invention.
[0081] like Figure 5 As shown, according to some embodiments of the present invention, there are multiple second air outlets 300, and the multiple second air outlets 300 are distributed at intervals, and the first air outlet 200 is located between two adjacent second air outlets 300. In other words, there is a pair of second air outlets 300 among the multiple second air outlets 300, and the pair of second air outlets 300 are adjacent, and the first air outlet 200 is located between the pair of second air outlets 300. It should be noted that the "multiple" mentioned here means two or more. In this way, the air outlet range of the air conditioner 1 can be further expanded, and different appearance performance effects of the air conditioner 1 can be achieved to meet the aesthetic needs of different users.
[0082] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the first air outlet 200 and the second air outlet 300 may be arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the housing 10, and the first air outlet 200 is opposite to the second air outlet 300. For example, the housing 10 may be formed in a cylindrical shape, and the first air outlet 200 and the second air outlet 300 may be arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the housing 10, and the first air outlet 200 is opposite to the second air outlet 300.
[0083] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the peripheral wall of the housing 10 can be formed into a multi-faceted column. In some embodiments of the present invention, the first air outlet 200 and the second air outlet 300 can be located on the same side wall surface. This can concentrate the air outlet range of the air conditioner 1. In other embodiments of the present invention, the first air outlet 200 and the second air outlet 300 can be located on two different side wall surfaces. This can disperse the airflow of the air conditioner 1 and expand the air outlet range of the air conditioner 1.
[0084] like Figure 1 、 Figure 3-Figure 8 As shown, according to some embodiments of the present invention, the first air supply assembly may include a first air guide assembly 210, the first air guide assembly 210 is located at the first air outlet 200, and the first air guide assembly 210 is movable relative to the housing 10. The second air supply assembly includes a second air guide assembly 310, the second air guide assembly 310 is located at the second air outlet 300, and the second air guide assembly 310 is movable relative to the housing 10. It is understandable that the first air guide assembly 210 is located within the first air outlet 200, at least a portion of the first air outlet 200 can be blocked by the first air guide assembly 210, and at least a portion of the structure of the first air guide assembly 210 is movable relative to the housing 10 to guide the outlet direction of the airflow at the first air outlet 200. The second air guide component 310 is located in the second air outlet 300, at least part of the second air outlet 300 can be blocked by the second air guide component 310, and at least part of the structure of the second air guide component 310 is movable relative to the shell 10 to guide the outlet direction of the air flow at the second air outlet 300.
[0085] like Figure 1 、 Figure 3-Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the first air guide assembly 210 includes a plurality of first air guide bars 211, each of the first air guide bars 211 is movable relative to the shell 10, the plurality of first air guide bars 211 are arranged at intervals in the vertical direction, and each first air guide bar 211 extends in the horizontal direction; the second air guide assembly 310 includes a plurality of second air guide bars 311, each of the second air guide bars 311 is movable relative to the shell 10, the plurality of second air guide bars 311 are arranged at intervals in the horizontal direction, and each second air guide bar 311 extends in the vertical direction.
[0086] Thus, multiple first air guide strips 211 can guide the airflow at the first air outlet 200 to be blown out in the horizontal direction or in an upward direction of the horizontal direction, while multiple second air guide strips 311 only guide the airflow at the second air outlet 300 to be blown out in the vertical direction to the left or to the right. According to Newton's law, the airflow at the second air outlet 300 contacts the ground faster than the airflow at the first air outlet 200, so that the airflow at the first air outlet 200 can be blown farther than the airflow at the second air outlet 300.
[0087] like Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the first air guide strip 211 has a thickened section 212, and the thickness of the thickened section 212 gradually increases along the air outlet direction. As a result, in the air outlet direction, the distance between two adjacent first air guide strips 211 gradually decreases, thereby extending the air outlet path of the airflow at the first air outlet 200. For example, the thickened section 212 may include an upper guide surface and a lower guide surface, with the upper guide surface located above the lower guide surface. The lower guide surface may extend horizontally, with the upper guide surface and the lower guide surface forming an acute angle. In the air outlet direction, the upper guide surface extends away from the lower guide surface. As a result, the first air guide strip 211 can guide the airflow to blow in a direction slightly above the horizontal direction. This portion of the airflow has an initial upward velocity, thereby extending the air outlet path of the airflow at the first air outlet 200 and, in turn, increasing the air supply distance of the first air guide assembly 210.
[0088] like Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the first air guide strip 211 includes a first side 213 and a second side 214. In the air outlet direction, the first side 213 is located upstream of the second side 214, and the distance between the thickened section 212 and the second side 214 is smaller than the distance between the thickened section 212 and the first side 213. For example, the thickened section 212 can be located at the end of the first air guide strip 211 away from the interior of the air conditioner 1. This can enhance the effectiveness of the thickened section 212.
[0089] like Figure 1 、 Figure 3-Figure 5As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the first air guide assembly 210 further includes a grille 215, and in the air outlet direction, the grille 215 is located upstream or downstream of the first air guide bar 211. It is understood that in some examples of the present invention, the first air guide assembly 210 further includes a grille 215, and in the air outlet direction, the grille 215 is located upstream of the first air guide bar 211. In other examples of the present invention, the first air guide assembly 210 further includes a grille 215, and in the air outlet direction, the grille 215 is located downstream of the first air guide bar 211. Thus, the outflow airflow at the first air outlet 200 can be adjusted by multiple first air guide bars 211 and the grille 215, thereby achieving a variety of air outlet effects.
[0090] like Figure 3-Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the second air guide assembly 310 further includes louvers 313, and in the air outlet direction, the louvers 313 are located upstream or downstream of the second air guide strips 311. It is understood that in some examples of the present invention, the second air guide assembly 310 further includes louvers 313, and in the air outlet direction, the louvers 313 are located upstream of the second air guide strips 311. In other examples of the present invention, the second air guide assembly 310 further includes louvers 313, and in the air outlet direction, the louvers 313 are located downstream of the second air guide strips 311. Thus, the outflow airflow at the second air outlet 300 can be adjusted by multiple second air guide strips 311 and louvers 313, thereby achieving a variety of air outlet effects.
[0091] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, at least one of the first air guide strip 211 and the second air guide strip 311 is provided with a through hole 312. For example, the second air guide strip 311 may be provided with multiple through holes 312. The outgoing airflow can pass through the second air guide strip 311 through the through holes 312. The outgoing airflow generally has the characteristics of high wind speed and strong wind intensity. The outgoing air still has a high speed when reaching the human activity area, and the user can still feel a strong blowing sensation. The provision of the through holes 312 can disperse the outgoing airflow, thereby preventing the outgoing airflow from blowing directly on the user, achieving a windless wind outlet effect, and thereby improving the user's physical comfort.
[0092] In some embodiments of the present invention, the first air supply assembly includes a first driving member, which is connected to the first air guide assembly 210 to drive the first air guide assembly 210 to move. The second air supply assembly includes a second driving member, which is connected to the second air guide assembly 310 to drive the second air guide assembly 310 to move. Thus, the first air guide assembly 210 and the second air guide assembly 310 can be independently controlled by the first driving member and the second driving member, so that the movement angle and movement rate of the first air guide assembly 210 and the movement angle and movement rate of the second air guide assembly 310 can be independently adjusted. Different air supply effects can be achieved through the different coordination effects of the first air guide assembly 210 and the second air guide assembly 310, thereby achieving different usage effects of the air conditioner 1.
[0093] like Figure 12 and Figure 13 As shown, according to some embodiments of the present invention, the first air supply assembly further includes a first drive assembly 220, the first drive assembly 220 includes a first wind wheel, and the first wind wheel is disposed in the housing 10. The second air supply assembly further includes a second drive assembly 320, the second drive assembly 320 includes a second wind wheel, and the second wind wheel is disposed in the housing 10. The first wind wheel can drive the air flow to form an outlet air flow at the first air outlet 200, and the second wind wheel can drive the air flow to form an outlet air flow at the second air outlet 300.
[0094] In some embodiments of the present invention, the diameter of the first wind wheel can be larger than the diameter of the second wind wheel. As a result, the driving capacity of the first wind wheel is greater than that of the second wind wheel, and the flow rate of the outlet air flow generated by the drive of the first wind wheel is greater than the flow rate of the outlet air flow generated by the drive of the second wind wheel. As a result, the outlet air flow at the first air outlet 200 can be blown farther than the outlet air flow at the second air outlet 300.
[0095] In some embodiments of the present invention, the first drive assembly 220 further includes a first drive motor, which is connected to the first wind wheel to drive the first wind wheel to rotate. The second drive assembly 320 further includes a second drive motor, which is connected to the second wind wheel to drive the second wind wheel to rotate. The rotation speed of the first drive motor is greater than the rotation speed of the second drive motor. For example, the first drive motor is a high-power motor, and the second drive motor is a low-power motor. The driving capacity of the first drive motor for the first wind wheel is greater than the driving capacity of the second drive motor for the second wind wheel, and the rotation speed of the first wind wheel is greater than the rotation speed of the second wind wheel. In this way, the airflow at the first air outlet 200 can be blown farther than the airflow at the second air outlet 300.
[0096] like Figure 14As shown, according to some embodiments of the present invention, the first air supply assembly further includes: a first pressure regulating member 230, the first pressure regulating member 230 is arranged in the first air outlet 200, the first pressure regulating member 230 defines a first air outlet channel 231 or the first pressure regulating member 230 and the side wall of the first air outlet 200 define the first air outlet channel 231, the cross-sectional area of the first air outlet 200 is A, and the cross-sectional area of the outer port of the first air outlet channel 231 is B, wherein B<A.
[0097] It should be noted that the cross-sectional area of the first air outlet 200 may be the area of the cross section obtained by cutting the first air outlet 200 with a plane perpendicular to the central axis of the first air outlet 200, and the cross-sectional area of the first air outlet duct 231 may be the area of the cross section obtained by cutting the first air outlet duct 231 with a plane perpendicular to the central axis of the first air outlet duct 231. Thus, the air outlet area of the first air outlet 200 can be reduced by providing the first pressure regulating member 230. The first pressure regulating member 230 acts as a constriction. When the airflow from the first air outlet 200 flows through the first air outlet duct 231 in the first pressure regulating member 230, the airflow is compressed, and the flow rate of the airflow increases, thereby extending the airflow distance.
[0098] In addition, by adjusting the proportional relationship between B and A, the compression ratio of the airflow passing through the first pressure regulating member 230 can be changed, so that wind with different flow rates and different distances can be delivered as needed.
[0099] like Figure 14 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the cross-sectional area of the first air outlet channel 231 gradually decreases in the direction of the airflow. Therefore, the airflow is gradually compressed during the process of flowing through the first air outlet channel 231, thereby achieving gradual acceleration of the airflow.
[0100] like Figure 14 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the two opposing side walls of the first air outlet channel 231 extend obliquely toward each other in the direction of airflow. This arrangement facilitates a gradual decrease in the cross-sectional area of the first air outlet channel 231 in the direction of airflow, while also providing guidance for the airflow as it flows through the first air outlet channel 231.
[0101] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the second air supply assembly further includes: a second pressure regulating member, which is disposed in the second air outlet 300, and a second air outlet channel is defined in the second pressure regulating member or the second pressure regulating member and the side wall of the second air outlet 300 define the second air outlet channel, the cross-sectional area of the second air outlet 300 is C, and the cross-sectional area of the outer port of the first air outlet channel 231 is D, wherein C<D.
[0102] It should be noted that the cross-sectional area of the second air outlet 300 can be the area of the cross section obtained by cutting the second air outlet 300 with a plane perpendicular to the central axis of the second air outlet 300, and the cross-sectional area of the second air outlet duct can be the area of the cross section obtained by cutting the second air outlet duct with a plane perpendicular to the central axis of the second air outlet duct. Therefore, the air outlet area of the second air outlet 300 can be expanded by providing the second pressure regulating member. The second pressure regulating member acts as an expansion port. When the airflow from the second air outlet 300 flows through the first air outlet channel 231 within the second pressure regulating member, the airflow is expanded and the flow rate of the airflow is reduced, thereby shortening the air outlet distance of the airflow.
[0103] In addition, by adjusting the proportional relationship between D and C, the expansion ratio of the airflow through the second pressure regulating member can be changed, so that wind with different flow rates and different distances can be delivered as needed.
[0104] In some embodiments of the present invention, the cross-sectional area of the second air outlet channel gradually increases in the direction of the airflow, so that the airflow is gradually compressed during the process of flowing through the second air outlet channel, thereby achieving gradual acceleration of the airflow.
[0105] In some embodiments of the present invention, the two opposing side walls of the second air outlet channel extend obliquely away from each other in the direction of airflow. This arrangement facilitates a gradual decrease in the cross-sectional area of the second air outlet channel in the direction of airflow, while also providing guidance for the airflow as it flows through the second air outlet channel.
[0106] like Figure 3-Figure 7 As shown, according to some embodiments of the present invention, at least one of the first air outlet 200 and the second air outlet 300 is rectangular. For example, the first air outlet 200 and the second air outlet 300 are both rectangular. This facilitates the placement and installation of the first air guide assembly 210 and the second air guide assembly 310.
[0107] like Figure 3-Figure 7 As shown, according to some embodiments of the present invention, the area of the first air outlet 200 is less than or equal to the area of the second air outlet 300. It is understandable that the airflow of the outlet airflow flowing out of the first air outlet 200 is less than or equal to the airflow of the outlet airflow flowing out of the second air outlet 300. As a result, the airflow of the outlet airflow at a short distance is greater than the airflow of the outlet airflow at a long distance, thereby ensuring the heat exchange rate of the air flow around the air conditioner 1 to achieve rapid cooling or rapid heating. In addition, the small area of the first air outlet 200 is conducive to increasing the outlet speed and air supply distance of the outlet airflow at the first air outlet 200.
[0108] In some embodiments of the present invention, the maximum width of the first air outlet 200 in the left-right direction is less than or equal to the minimum width of the second air outlet 300 in the left-right direction. As a result, the air outlet range of the first air outlet 200 in the left-right direction is smaller than the air outlet range of the second air outlet 300 in the left-right direction. This allows the airflow from the first air outlet 200 to be directed toward a distant location, thereby extending the airflow path of the airflow from the first air outlet 200.
[0109] In some embodiments of the present invention, the width of the first air outlet 200 in the left-right direction gradually increases or decreases from top to bottom. For example, the first air outlet 200 can be formed into a trapezoidal shape. This can enrich the appearance of the air conditioner 1 and meet the aesthetic needs of different users.
[0110] like Figure 14 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the first air outlet 200 and the second air outlet 300 are both rectangular, the horizontal width of the first air outlet 200 is the same as the horizontal width of the second air outlet 300, the vertical length of the first air outlet 200 is L1, and the vertical length of the second air outlet 300 is L2, wherein 10% ≤ L1 / (L1+L2) ≤ 50%. Experimental verification has shown that when the length of the first air outlet 200 and the length of the second air outlet 300 satisfy the following conditions: 10% ≤ L2 / (L1+L2) ≤ 50%, the air conditioner 1 can achieve a good air supply distance and air volume, thereby improving the performance of the air conditioner 1. For example, in some embodiments of the present invention, L1 / L2 = 2 / 5.
[0111] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the air conditioner 1 is a ceiling-mounted air conditioner, a floor-standing air conditioner, a wall-mounted air conditioner, a portable air conditioner, or a window air conditioner. According to some embodiments of the present invention, the air conditioner 1 can be a cabinet air conditioner. A cabinet air conditioner 1 is a type of split-type air conditioner 1 and has advantages such as high power and strong wind force.
[0112] According to an embodiment of the air conditioner 1 of the present invention, the air conditioner 1 has an air inlet duct and an air outlet duct, the air outlet duct includes a first sub-air outlet duct and a second sub-air outlet duct separated from each other, and the air conditioner 1 includes: a baffle assembly, which can be movably arranged on the first sub-air outlet duct and can change the air outlet area of the first sub-air outlet duct.

Therefore, by adjusting the size of the air outlet area of the first sub-air outlet duct, the air outlet speed and air supply distance of the first sub-air outlet duct can be effectively adjusted when the rotation speed of the wind wheel in the air conditioner is the same, so as to meet the personalized needs in different usage scenarios.
[0114] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the baffle assembly is rotatably provided on the first sub-air outlet duct, and the air outlet area of the first sub-air outlet duct can be changed by rotating the baffle assembly.

[0121] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the baffle assembly is slidably provided on the first sub-air outlet duct, and the air outlet area of the first sub-air outlet duct can be changed by sliding the baffle assembly.
[0122] According to some optional embodiments of the present invention, the baffle assembly includes two baffles, which are slidably disposed at opposite ends of the first sub-air outlet duct, and the two baffles can slide in a direction away from or adjacent to each other to adjust the air outlet area of the first sub-air outlet duct.

A receiving block is provided on the lower side wall of the first sub-air outlet duct, and the receiving block has a fourth receiving groove, and the baffle located at the lower end is suitable for being received in the fourth receiving groove.
[0125] Optionally, the two baffles are slidably disposed at the left and right ends of the first sub-air outlet duct, respectively, and each of the baffles can slide in the left and right directions.
[0126] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the baffle assembly is foldably provided on the first sub-air outlet duct, and the air outlet area of the first sub-air outlet duct can be changed by folding or unfolding the baffle assembly.
[0127] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the air outlet duct extends along a length direction of the air conditioner, and the first sub-air outlet duct and the second sub-air outlet duct are arranged along the length direction of the air outlet duct.
[0128] According to some embodiments of the present invention, a partition is provided at the air outlet duct to separate the air outlet duct into the first sub-air outlet duct and the second sub-air outlet duct that are separated from each other.
[0129] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the second sub-air outlet duct is provided with a plurality of air guide strips arranged side by side and at intervals.
[0130] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the air conditioner is a split floor-standing air conditioner, or a split wall-mounted air conditioner, or a ceiling air conditioner, or a mobile air conditioner or a window air conditioner.
[0131] Reference below Figures 16-30An air conditioner 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention is described. The air conditioner 1 can be a split floor-standing air conditioner 1, a split wall-mounted air conditioner 1, a ceiling-mounted air conditioner, a portable air conditioner 1, or a window-mounted air conditioner 1. When the air conditioner 1 is a split floor-standing air conditioner 1, a split wall-mounted air conditioner 1, or a ceiling-mounted air conditioner, the air conditioner 1 includes an outdoor air conditioner unit and an indoor air conditioner unit. When the air conditioner 1 is a split floor-standing air conditioner 1, the cross-section of the indoor air conditioner unit 100 of the air conditioner 1 can be circular, rectangular, or the like.
[0132] like Figures 16-30 As shown, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the air conditioner 1 has an air inlet duct 11 and an air outlet duct 12, the air outlet duct 12 includes a first sub-air outlet duct 121 and a second sub-air outlet duct 122 separated from each other, and the air conditioner 1 includes: a baffle assembly, the baffle assembly can be movably arranged in the first sub-air outlet duct and can change the air outlet area of the first sub-air outlet duct.
[0133] The air conditioner 1 comprises a housing 1, the aforementioned baffle assembly, a heat exchanger 2, and an air duct assembly. Specifically, both the air inlet duct 11 and the air outlet duct 12 extend through the sidewalls of the housing 1. For example, the air inlet duct 11 may be formed on the rear wall of the housing 1, and the air outlet duct 12 may be formed on the front wall of the housing 1. The air outlet duct 12 comprises a first sub-outlet duct 121 and a second sub-outlet duct 122, which are separated from each other. The baffle assembly is movably mounted on the first sub-outlet duct 121 and can adjust the air outlet area of the first sub-outlet duct 121.
[0134] The heat exchanger 2 and the air duct assembly are disposed within the housing 1. The air duct assembly may include a rotor 3 and a motor for driving the rotor 3. An outlet duct 4 is defined within the duct assembly. The rotor 3 drives air from the air inlet duct 11 into the housing 1. After passing through the air duct 4, the air is delivered to the room through the outlet duct 12. While passing through the air duct 4, the air exchanges heat with the heat exchanger 2. The heat-exchanged air is then blown into the room through the outlet duct 12, thereby regulating the indoor temperature. Optionally, the rotor 3 may be a crossflow rotor.
[0135] It needs to be explained that, when the baffle assembly is only connected to a part of the side wall of the first sub-air outlet duct 121, the "air outlet area of the first sub-air outlet duct 121" refers to the cross-sectional area of the outer port of the air outlet area defined between the baffle assembly and the side wall of the first sub-air outlet duct 121 (the "external port of the air outlet area" refers to the port adjacent to the external environment of the air outlet area); when the baffle assembly is connected to the entire side wall of the first sub-air outlet duct 121, the "air outlet area of the first sub-air outlet duct 121" refers to the cross-sectional area of the outer port of the air outlet area defined within the baffle assembly.
[0136] Thus, when the air conditioner 1 is in operation, the impeller 3 drives air from the air inlet duct 11 into the housing 1, where it exchanges heat with the heat exchanger 2. The air after heat exchange is then delivered to the room through the air outlet duct 12 to adjust the indoor temperature. When the air is delivered to the room through the air outlet duct 12, at least a portion of the air is delivered to the room through the first sub-outlet duct 121 and the second sub-outlet duct 122.
[0137] By configuring the air outlet duct 12 to include a first sub-air outlet duct 121 and a second sub-air outlet duct 122 that are separated from each other, and providing a movable baffle assembly in the first sub-air outlet duct 121, the air outlet area of the first sub-air outlet duct 121 can be changed. Thus, by changing the size of the air outlet area of the first sub-air outlet duct 121, the air outlet speed of the first sub-air outlet duct 121 can be effectively adjusted under the condition that the rotation speed of the wind wheel 3 in the air duct assembly remains the same, thereby adjusting the air supply distance of the first sub-air outlet duct 121. Furthermore, by adjusting the air outlet speed of the first sub-air outlet duct 121, the air outlet speed of the first sub-air outlet duct 121 can be made the same or different from the air outlet speed of the second sub-air outlet duct 122, thereby making the air supply distance of the first sub-air outlet duct 121 and the air supply distance of the second sub-air outlet duct 122 the same or different as needed, thereby meeting personalized needs in different usage scenarios.
[0138] It can be understood that when the first sub-air outlet duct 121 and the second sub-air outlet duct 122 share a wind wheel 3 and the first sub-air outlet duct 121 is not provided with the above-mentioned baffle assembly, the first sub-air outlet duct 121 and the second sub-air outlet duct 122 both supply air normally, and the air outlet speed of the first sub-air outlet duct 121 and the air outlet speed of the second sub-air outlet duct 122 are roughly the same, and therefore the air supply distances are also roughly the same. When the first sub-air outlet duct 121 and the second sub-air outlet duct 122 share a wind wheel 3 and the first sub-air outlet duct 121 is provided with the above-mentioned baffle assembly, the second sub-air outlet duct 122 supplies air normally. By controlling the movement of the baffle assembly and depending on the specific position of the baffle assembly, the air outlet area of the first sub-air outlet duct 121 can be kept relatively basically unchanged, relatively reduced, or relatively increased relative to the case where the first sub-air outlet duct 121 is not provided with the above-mentioned baffle assembly.
[0139] When the air outlet area of the first sub-air outlet duct remains relatively unchanged, the first sub-air outlet duct 121 is in a normal air outlet state. At this time, the air outlet speed and air supply distance of the first sub-air outlet duct 121 and the first sub-air outlet duct 122 can be roughly the same. When the air outlet area of the first sub-air outlet duct 121 decreases relatively, the air outlet speed and air supply distance of the first sub-air outlet duct 121 can be significantly smaller than the air outlet speed and air supply distance of the second sub-air outlet duct 122. When the air outlet area of the first sub-air outlet duct 121 increases relatively, the air outlet speed and air supply distance of the first sub-air outlet duct 121 can be significantly greater than the air outlet speed and air supply distance of the second sub-air outlet duct 122. In this way, the air supply differentiation of the air outlet duct 12 of the air conditioner 1 can be improved, the air supply distance of the air conditioner 1 can be improved, the comfort experience of the air conditioner 1 can be enhanced, and the different needs of users can be met.
[0140] Optionally, the first sub-air outlet duct 121 can also be provided with an air outlet grille, and a filter can be provided on the air outlet grille. The air outlet grille is located on the inner side of the baffle assembly (the inner side of the baffle assembly refers to the side of the baffle assembly adjacent to the center of the casing 1). By setting the air outlet grille and the filter, dust and solid debris entering the casing 1 can be reduced.
[0141] It should be noted that when the air conditioner 1 is a split floor-standing air conditioner 1, a split wall-mounted air conditioner 1, or a ceiling-mounted air conditioner, the air conditioner 1 includes an outdoor air conditioner unit and an indoor air conditioner unit 100, which are connected to form a refrigerant circulation flow path. The indoor air conditioner unit 100 may include the aforementioned casing, a heat exchanger and air duct assembly disposed within the casing, and the aforementioned baffle assembly.
[0142] According to the air conditioner 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention, the air outlet duct 12 is configured to include a first sub-air outlet duct 121 and a second sub-air outlet duct 122 separated from each other, and a movable baffle assembly is provided in the first sub-air outlet duct 121, so that the air outlet area of the first sub-air outlet duct 121 can be changed. Therefore, by adjusting the size of the air outlet area of the first sub-air outlet duct 121, when the rotation speed of the wind wheel 3 in the air conditioner 1 is the same, the air outlet speed and air supply distance of the first sub-air outlet duct 121 can be effectively adjusted to meet the personalized needs in different usage scenarios.
[0143] According to some embodiments of the present invention, a partition is provided at the air outlet duct 12 to separate the air outlet duct 12 into a first sub-air outlet duct 121 and a second sub-air outlet duct 122. Thus, the air outlet duct 12 can be conveniently separated into the first sub-air outlet duct 121 and the second sub-air outlet duct 122 by providing the partition.
[0144] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the air outlet duct 12 extends along the length of the air conditioner 1, and the first sub-air outlet duct 121 and the second sub-air outlet duct 122 are arranged along the length of the air outlet duct 12. Thus, by controlling the air outlet area of the first sub-air outlet duct 121, the air outlet duct 12 can achieve differentiated air supply along the length of the air conditioner 1.
[0145] When the air conditioner 1 extends in the vertical direction, the outlet duct 12 can extend in the vertical direction (for example, when the air conditioner 1 is a split floor-standing air conditioner 1, the air conditioner indoor unit 100 extends in the vertical direction, and the outlet duct 12 is formed on the air conditioner indoor unit 100, and the outlet duct 12 can extend in the vertical direction). The first sub-outlet duct 121 and the second sub-outlet duct 122 can be arranged in the vertical direction. By controlling the air outlet area of the first sub-outlet duct 121, the outlet duct 12 can achieve differentiated air supply in the vertical direction.
[0146] When the air conditioner 1 extends in the left-right direction, the air outlet duct 12 can extend in the left-right direction (for example, when the air conditioner 1 is a split wall-mounted air conditioner 1, the air conditioning indoor unit 100 extends in the left-right direction, the air outlet duct 12 is formed on the air conditioning indoor unit 100, and the air outlet duct 12 can extend in the left-right direction), the first sub-air outlet duct 121 and the second sub-air outlet duct 122 can be arranged in the left-right direction, and by controlling the air outlet area of the first sub-air outlet duct 121, the air outlet duct 12 can achieve differentiated air supply in the left-right direction.
[0147] Invention, for example, Figure 16-Figure 22 、 Figure 24-25 as well as Figures 27-30 In the example, the air conditioner 1 is a split floor-standing air conditioner 1. The indoor unit 100 extends vertically, and the outlet duct 12 is formed on the indoor unit 100. The outlet duct 12 extends vertically, and the first sub-outlet duct 121 is located above the second sub-outlet duct 122. Thus, by controlling the air outlet area of the first sub-outlet duct 121, the outlet duct 12 can achieve differentiated air supply in the vertical direction. In this embodiment, the following situations may be included: 1) a partition is provided in the air outlet duct 12 to separate the air outlet duct 12 into two parts, the upper part of which is the first sub-air outlet duct 121, and the lower part is the second sub-air outlet duct 122; 2) two partitions are provided in the air outlet duct 12, and the two partitions are spaced apart in the vertical direction to separate the air outlet duct 12 into three parts arranged along the upper and lower directions, the middle part is the first sub-air outlet duct 121, the lower part is the second sub-air outlet duct 122, and the upper part is the third air outlet area, and the air outlet speed of the third air outlet area can be the same as the air outlet speed of the second sub-air outlet duct 122.
[0148] In other embodiments, the air outlet duct 12 extends in a vertical direction, and the first sub-air outlet duct 121 and the second sub-air outlet duct 122 can be arranged in a horizontal direction (for example, when the air outlet duct 12 is located on the front side of the casing 1, the first sub-air outlet duct 121 and the second sub-air outlet duct 122 can be arranged in the left and right direction).
[0149] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 16-Figure 26 The baffle assembly is rotatably disposed on the first sub-air outlet duct 121, and the air outlet area of the first sub-air outlet duct 121 can be changed by rotating the baffle assembly. Thus, the air outlet area of the first sub-air outlet duct 121 can be conveniently adjusted by rotating the baffle assembly.
[0150] According to some optional embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 16-Figure 26 The baffle assembly includes two baffles 1a, which are rotatably disposed at opposite ends of the first sub-air outlet duct 121. One end of each baffle 1a is connected to the side wall of the first sub-air outlet duct 121, and the other end is a free end. The free ends of the two baffles 1a can be rotated in a direction away from or adjacent to each other. Thus, by controlling the rotation angle of the two baffles 1a separately, the two baffles 1a can be rotated to a set position, and the air outlet area of the first sub-air outlet duct 121 can be adjusted to a preset size, thereby ensuring that the air outlet speed and air supply distance of the first sub-air outlet duct 121 meet the preset requirements. In addition, when both baffles 1a are rotated to the closed position, the two baffles 1a jointly close the first sub-air outlet duct 121.
[0151] Optionally, refer to Figure 16-Figure 26 , two baffles 1a are rotatably arranged at the upper and lower ends of the first sub-air outlet duct 121, and the rotation axis of each baffle 1a extends in the horizontal direction. Therefore, by rotating the two baffles 1a in the up and down directions, the air outlet area of the first sub-air outlet duct 121 can be conveniently adjusted. For example, when the two baffles 1a are both in the horizontal position, the first sub-air outlet duct 121 is in a normal air outlet state (refer to Figure 18 ); When the free ends of the two baffles 1a move toward each other, the outlet area of the first sub-air outlet duct 121 decreases, and the first sub-air outlet duct 121 is in a state of expanding pressure and supplying air; when both baffles 1a move to a vertical position, the two baffles 1a jointly close the first sub-air outlet duct 121 (refer to Figure 16 and Figure 17 ), the first sub-air outlet duct 121 is in a closed state. Optionally, both baffles 1a can be flat.
[0152] Further, refer to Figures 16-20The baffle 1a at the upper end is separated from the upper side wall of the first sub-air outlet duct 121, and the baffle 1a at the lower end is separated from the lower side wall of the first sub-air outlet duct 121. Therefore, by controlling the rotation of the two baffles 1a, not only the air outlet area of the first sub-air outlet duct 121 can be changed, but also the air outlet direction can be changed by controlling the rotation of the two baffles 1a to the set position. For example, the first sub-air outlet duct 121 can be directed upward (refer to Figure 19 , for example, when the air conditioner 1 is cooling), the air is directed downward (refer to Figure 20 , for example, when the air conditioner 1 is heating), the air is blown in the horizontal direction (refer to Figure 18 For example, when the air outlet duct 12 is located at the front side of the casing 1, the first sub-air outlet duct 121 can be made to supply air toward the front), and pressure expansion air supply can also be achieved (at this time, the free ends of the two baffles 1a are rotated to positions close to each other, the air outlet area is relatively reduced, the air outlet speed is increased, and the air supply distance is increased) or pressure reduction air supply (at this time, the free ends of the two baffles 1a are rotated to positions away from each other, the air outlet area is relatively increased, the air outlet speed is reduced, and the air supply distance is reduced).
[0153] For example, in Figures 16-20 In the example, the air outlet duct 12 is formed on the front side of the housing 1 and extends vertically. The air outlet duct 12 is divided into two upper and lower air outlet areas. The upper area is the first sub-air outlet duct 121, and the lower area is the second sub-air outlet duct 122. The second sub-air outlet duct 122 normally supplies air. The two baffles 1a are provided in the first sub-air outlet duct 121, and the two baffles 1a are rotatably provided at the upper and lower ends of the first sub-air outlet duct 121. Each baffle 1a is flat and the rotation axis of each baffle 1a extends in the left-right direction. The baffle 1a at the upper end is separated from the upper side wall of the first sub-air outlet duct 121, and the baffle 1a at the lower end is separated from the lower side wall of the first sub-air outlet duct 121. Therefore, when the air conditioner 1 is in operation, different air supply modes can be achieved by controlling the rotation of the two baffles 1a.
[0154] Specifically, refer to Figures 16-20 When both baffles 1a are rotated to the horizontal position, both baffles 1a are parallel to the horizontal plane, and the first sub-air outlet duct 121 is discharging air toward the front, and the first sub-air outlet duct 121 is in a normal air supply state (refer to Figure 18 When both baffles 1a are rotated to the upward tilted position, the free ends of both baffles 1a extend upward tilted, and the first sub-air outlet duct 121 is in an upward air guiding state (refer to Figure 19 When both baffles 1a are rotated to a downwardly inclined position, the free ends of both baffles 1a extend downwardly inclined, and the first sub-air outlet duct 121 is in a downwardly directed airflow state (refer to Figure 20 ).
[0155] When the free ends of the two baffles 1a rotate toward the direction adjacent to each other, the baffle 1a at the upper end rotates until its free end extends downwardly and tilted, and the baffle 1a at the lower end rotates until its free end extends upwardly and tilted, and the air outlet area of the first sub-air outlet duct 121 is reduced. At this time, the first sub-air outlet duct 121 is in a pressure expansion air supply state; when the free ends of the two baffles 1a rotate toward the direction away from each other, the baffle 1a at the upper end rotates until its free end extends upwardly and tilted, and the baffle 1a at the lower end rotates until its free end extends downwardly and tilted, and the air outlet area of the first sub-air outlet duct 121 is increased. At this time, the first sub-air outlet duct 121 is in a pressure reduction air supply state.
[0156] Optionally, refer to Figures 21-26 , two baffles 1a are rotatably arranged at the left and right ends of the first sub-air outlet duct 121, and the rotation axis of each baffle 1a extends in the vertical direction. Therefore, by rotating the two baffles 1a in the left and right directions, the air outlet area of the first sub-air outlet duct 121 can be conveniently adjusted. For example, when the two baffles 1a are both located in a position substantially consistent with the extension direction of the side wall of the air duct 4 of the air duct assembly, the first sub-air outlet duct 121 is in a normal air outlet state (refer to Figure 21-23 ); When the two baffles 1a move toward each other, the two baffles 1a are located on the inner side of the side wall of the duct 4 of the duct assembly in the extension direction, and the area of the first sub-air outlet duct 121 is reduced (refer to Figure 24-26 ), the first sub-air outlet duct 121 is in a pressure-expanding air supply state; when the two baffles 1a move to a substantially coplanar position, the two baffles 1a jointly close the first sub-air outlet duct 121, and the first sub-air outlet duct 121 is in a closed state.
[0157] Further, refer to Figures 21-26 The baffle 1a at the left end is rotatably connected to the left side wall of the first sub-outlet duct 121, and the baffle 1a at the right end is rotatably connected to the right side wall of the first sub-outlet duct 121. Thus, by controlling the rotation of the two baffles 1a, the first sub-outlet duct 121 can be switched between a normal air outlet state and a pressure-expanded air supply state. Optionally, one of the two baffles 1a can be flat, and the other can be bent. This configuration can better adapt to the shape of the duct 4 of the duct assembly and reduce airflow losses.
[0158] Furthermore, refer to Figures 21-26A first receiving groove 121a is formed on the left side wall of the first sub-air outlet duct 121, and the outward side of the first receiving groove 121a is open, and the baffle 1a located at the left end is suitable for being received in the first receiving groove 121a; a second receiving groove 121b is formed on the right side wall of the first sub-air outlet duct 121, and the outward side of the second receiving groove 121b is open, and the baffle 1a located at the right end is suitable for being received in the second receiving groove 121b. Thus, the first receiving groove 121a and the second receiving groove 121b facilitate the storage of the two baffles 1a. When the first sub-air outlet duct 121 is in a normal air outlet state, the two baffles 1a are respectively stored in the first receiving groove 121a and the second receiving groove 121b. When the two baffles 1a are respectively stored in the first receiving groove 121a and the second receiving groove 121b, the extension direction of the two baffles 1a is substantially consistent with the extension direction of the side wall of the air duct 4 of the above-mentioned air duct assembly. In this embodiment, the "outside" refers to the direction adjacent to the external environment.
[0159] In other embodiments, when two baffles 1a are rotatably provided at opposite ends of the first sub-air outlet duct 121, each baffle 1a may include a plurality of sub-baffles connected in sequence, and two adjacent sub-baffles are rotatably connected. Therefore, by controlling the rotation of each sub-baffle in each baffle 1a, each baffle 1a can be formed into a different shape, thereby achieving a different air guide structure.
[0160] In other embodiments, when the baffle assembly is rotatably provided in the first sub-air outlet duct 121, the baffle assembly may include only one baffle 1a and the baffle 1a may be rotatably provided in the first sub-air outlet duct 121, and the air outlet area of the first sub-air outlet duct 121 may be changed by rotating the baffle 1a.
[0161] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figures 27-30 The baffle assembly is slidably disposed on the first sub-outlet duct 121, and the air outlet area of the first sub-outlet duct 121 can be changed by sliding the baffle assembly. Thus, the air outlet area of the first sub-outlet duct 121 can be conveniently adjusted by sliding the baffle assembly. It is understood that the greater the proportion of the area of the first sub-outlet duct 121 blocked by the baffle assembly, the more the air outlet area of the first sub-outlet duct 121 is reduced, the more the flow rate of the airflow passing through the first sub-outlet duct 121 increases, and thus the air delivery distance is also increased.
[0162] According to some optional embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figures 27-30The baffle assembly includes two baffles 1a, and the two baffles 1a are slidably arranged at the opposite ends of the first sub-air outlet duct 121 (for example, the two baffles 1a can be arranged at the upper and lower ends of the first sub-air outlet duct 121, and the two baffles 1a can be arranged at the left and right ends of the first sub-air outlet duct 121). The two baffles 1a can slide in a direction away from each other or adjacent to each other to adjust the air outlet area of the first sub-air outlet duct 121. Therefore, by simultaneously controlling the sliding of the two baffles 1a, the air outlet area of the first sub-air outlet duct 121 can be conveniently adjusted, and by providing two baffles 1a, the size of a single baffle 1a can be reduced and the structural strength of the baffle 1a can be improved. In addition, when the two baffles 1a slide to the closed position, the first sub-air outlet duct 121 can be closed by the joint action of the two baffles 1a.
[0163] Optionally, two baffles 1a are slidably disposed at the upper and lower ends of the first sub-air outlet duct 121, and each baffle 1a can slide in the vertical direction. Thus, by simultaneously controlling the up and down sliding motion of the two baffles 1a, the air outlet area of the first sub-air outlet duct 121 can be conveniently adjusted. Furthermore, by providing two baffles 1a, the size of a single baffle 1a can be reduced, thereby improving the structural strength of the baffle 1a.
[0164] Further, refer to Figures 27-30 The two baffles 1a are respectively arranged at the upper and lower ends of the first sub-air outlet duct 121. A third receiving groove is formed on the upper side wall of the first sub-air outlet duct 121. The baffle 1a at the upper end is suitable for being received in the third receiving groove. A receiving block 1c is provided on the lower side wall of the first sub-air outlet duct 121. The receiving block 1c has a fourth receiving groove. The baffle 1a at the lower end is suitable for being received in the fourth receiving groove. Thus, the third and fourth receiving grooves facilitate the storage of the two baffles 1a. When the first sub-air outlet duct 121 is in a normal air outlet state, the two baffles 1a are respectively received in the third and fourth receiving grooves. When either of the two baffles 1a slides toward each other, the air outlet area of the first sub-air outlet duct 121 decreases. The air outlet area of the first sub-air outlet duct 121 can be adjusted by controlling the distance that the baffles 1a slide toward each other.
[0165] Optionally, two baffles 1a are slidably disposed at the left and right ends of the first sub-outlet duct 121, respectively, and each baffle can slide in the left and right directions. Thus, by simultaneously controlling the left and right sliding motion of the two baffles 1a, the air outlet area of the first sub-outlet duct 121 can be conveniently adjusted. Furthermore, by providing two baffles 1a, the size of a single baffle 1a can be reduced, thereby improving the structural strength of the baffle 1a.
[0166] In other embodiments, when the baffle assembly is slidably provided on the first sub-air outlet duct 121, the baffle assembly may also include only one baffle 1a. For example, the first sub-air outlet duct 121 may be located at the upper portion of the air outlet duct 12 and adjacent to the top of the body, and the baffle 1a may be slidably connected to the upper end of the first sub-air outlet duct 121, and the upper side wall of the first sub-air outlet duct 121 may be formed with a receiving groove suitable for receiving the baffle 1a. When the baffle 1a slides upward into the receiving groove, the first sub-air outlet duct 121 is in a normal air outlet state; when the baffle 1a slides downward out of the receiving groove, the air outlet area of the first sub-air outlet duct 121 is reduced, and the air outlet area of the first sub-air outlet duct 121 can be adjusted by controlling the downward sliding distance of the baffle 1a.
[0167] According to some embodiments of the present invention, a baffle assembly is foldably disposed within the first sub-air outlet duct 121, and the air outlet area of the first sub-air outlet duct 121 can be changed by folding or unfolding the baffle assembly. Thus, when the baffle assembly is folded to a stowed position, the first sub-air outlet duct 121 is in a normal air outlet state; when at least a portion of the baffle assembly is unfolded to block a portion of the first sub-air outlet duct 121, the air outlet area of the first sub-air outlet duct 121 is reduced; and when the baffle assembly is unfolded to a position that completely blocks the first sub-air outlet duct 121, the first sub-air outlet duct 121 is closed.
[0168] Optionally, the baffle assembly may include a foldable baffle 1a, which may be disposed on a side wall of the first sub-air outlet duct 121. The baffle 1a has a stowed state and an open state. When the baffle 1a is deployed to a position closing the first sub-air outlet duct 121, the baffle 1a is in the open state and can close the first sub-air outlet duct 121. When the baffle 1a is in the stowed state, the baffle 1a opens the first sub-air outlet duct 121. The air outlet area of the first sub-air outlet duct 121 can be adjusted by controlling the degree of folding of the baffle 1a.
[0169] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 16-Figure 22 、 Figure 24-25 、 Figures 27-30 The second sub-air outlet duct 122 is provided with a plurality of air guide strips arranged side by side and at intervals. Thus, the second air outlet duct 12 can achieve the swinging or fine adjustment of the air outlet direction by setting a plurality of air guide strips. For example, Figure 16-Figure 22 、 Figure 24-25 and Figures 27-30 In the example, the air outlet duct 12 is formed on the front side of the casing 1 and extends in the up and down directions. The first sub-air outlet duct 121 is located above the second sub-air outlet duct 122. The second sub-air outlet duct 122 is provided with a plurality of air guide bars spaced apart in different directions, and each air guide bar can swing in the left and right directions.
