In the description of the present invention, unless otherwise specified, "multiple" means two or more.

[0041] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, the terms "mounted," "connected," and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they may refer to fixed, detachable, or integral connections; mechanical or electrical connections; direct or indirect connections through an intermediate medium; and internal communication between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention based on the specific circumstances.

[0042] Reference below Figures 1-11 The windless structure 100 of the air conditioner 1000 according to an embodiment of the present invention is described. The air conditioner 1000 includes a shell 1. The upper end of the shell 1 is provided with an air inlet 15. External air enters the air conditioner 1000 through the air inlet 15. The shell 1 has a first air outlet 11. The first air outlet 11 can be located at the lower end of the shell 1. The air conditioner 1000 discharges air through the first air outlet 11.

[0043] According to the windless structure 100 of the air conditioner 1000 according to an embodiment of the present invention, the windless structure 100 is movably provided on the shell 1 to at least partially block the first air outlet 11 or avoid the first air outlet 11. It can be understood that the entire first air outlet 11 can be opened or closed, or part of the first air outlet 11 can be blocked by the movement of the windless structure 100. The blocked part of the first air outlet 11 can be the part of the first air outlet 11 that blows air toward or directly at the user, so that the wind blown out from the first air outlet 11 can first pass through the windless structure 100 and then blow toward the user, which can break up the wind blown toward the user and achieve the effect of windless feeling, so as to improve the comfort of using the air conditioner 1000.

[0044] The wind-free structure 100 includes a wind dispersing structure 3, which includes a stationary blade assembly 32 and a rotating member 31 spaced apart in the direction of air flow, wherein the rotating member 31 is rotatable relative to the stationary blade assembly 32. It is understandable that when the wind-free structure 100 blocks at least a portion of the first air outlet 11, since the stationary blade assembly 32 and the rotating member 31 are spaced apart in the direction of wind flow, the wind blown out of the air conditioner 1000 can be diffused once by the plurality of stationary blades 321 and once by the rotating rotating member 31 when flowing, so that the wind blown out of the air conditioner 1000 can be diffused multiple times, thereby better weakening the wind blown out of the air conditioner 1000 and improving the comfort of the air outlet of the air conditioner 1000.

[0045] The stationary blade assembly 32 includes a plurality of stationary blades 321 arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction, and the rotating member 31 includes a plurality of rotating blades 311 arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction. It can be understood that since the rotating member 31 is rotatable relative to the stationary blade assembly 32, the position between the plurality of rotating blades 311 of the rotating member 31 and the plurality of stationary blades 321 can be adjusted, thereby changing the opening and closing degree of the flow channel formed between the rotating member 31 and the stationary blade assembly 32, and then controlling the flow rate of the airflow passing through the windless structure 100, so as to control the air output of the air conditioner 1000, thereby meeting the needs of the user.

[0046] In some embodiments of the present invention, the stationary blade assembly 32 can be set on the front side of the rotating part 31 in the direction of wind flow, so that the wind blown out from the air conditioner 1000 is first diffused through multiple stationary blades 321, and then diffused again through the rotating rotating part 31. At the same time, the flow direction of the airflow is changed by the rotation of the rotating part 31, so that the air outlet direction of the air conditioner 1000 is more controllable.

[0047] In some embodiments of the present invention, the stationary blade assembly 32 can be set on the rear side of the rotating part 31 in the direction of wind flow, so that the wind blown out from the air conditioner 1000 is first diffused through the rotating rotating part 31, and then diffused through multiple stationary blades 321, so as to fully diffuse the air blown out of the air conditioner 1000, making the air outlet of the air conditioner 1000 more comfortable.

[0048] In some embodiments of the present invention, only each rotating blade 311 may be tilted so that air flows through opposite side walls of the rotating blade 311. In some embodiments of the present invention, only each stationary blade 321 may be tilted so that air flows through opposite side walls of the stationary blade 321. Alternatively, in some embodiments of the present invention, not only each rotating blade 311 may be tilted so that air flows through opposite side walls of the rotating blade 311, but also each stationary blade 321 may be tilted so that air flows through opposite side walls of the stationary blade 321.

[0049] When each rotating blade 311 is tilted so that air flows through the opposite side walls of the rotating blade 311, the wind blown out from the air conditioner 1000 can pass through the opposite side walls of each rotating blade 311 at the same time, thereby making the opposite side walls of each rotating blade 311 evenly heated, avoiding condensation, and improving the quality and comfort of the air conditioner 1000.

[0050] It should be noted that if Figure 11As shown, each rotating blade 311 has a first outer surface 3112 and a first inner surface 3111. The first outer surface 3112 and the first inner surface 3111 can be two opposite side walls of the rotating blade 311. By tilting each rotating blade 311, the tilting setting can be understood as changing the rotation direction of each rotating blade 311 so that each rotating blade 311 extends roughly along the flow direction of the air, avoiding obstruction to the airflow and making the airflow flow smoother.

[0051] At the same time, part of the wind blown out from the air conditioner 1000 contacts the first outer surface 3112, and part contacts the first inner surface 3111, so that the relative side walls of each rotating blade 311 are heated evenly, avoiding condensation and improving the quality and comfort of the air conditioner 1000.

[0052] When each stationary blade 321 is tilted so that air flows through the opposite side walls of the stationary blade 321, the wind blown out from the air conditioner 1000 can pass through the opposite side walls of each stationary blade 321 at the same time, thereby making the opposite side walls of each stationary blade 321 evenly heated, avoiding condensation, and improving the quality and comfort of the air conditioner 1000.

[0053] It should be noted that if Figure 11 As shown, each stationary blade 321 has a second outer surface 3212 and a second inner surface 3211, and the second outer surface 3212 and the second inner surface 3211 can be two opposite side walls of the stationary blade 321. By tilting each stationary blade 321, the tilting setting can be understood as changing the rotation direction of each stationary blade 321, so that each stationary blade 321 extends roughly along the flow direction of the air, avoiding obstruction to the airflow, so that the airflow flows more smoothly.

[0054] At the same time, part of the wind blown out from the air conditioner 1000 contacts the second outer surface 3212, and part contacts the second inner surface 3211, so that the relative side walls of each static blade 321 are heated evenly, avoiding condensation and improving the quality and comfort of the air conditioner 1000.

[0055] According to the wind-free structure 100 of the air conditioner 1000 of the embodiment of the present invention, the air blown out by the air conditioner 1000 is first dispersed through the wind dispersing structure 3, so that the air discharged by the air conditioner 1000 achieves a wind-free effect, thereby improving the comfort of using the air conditioner 1000. At the same time, by tilting each rotating blade 311 and / or each stationary blade 321 so that air flows through the opposite side walls of the rotating blade 311, the opposite side walls of each stationary blade 321 and / or each rotating blade 311 are evenly heated, avoiding condensation, thereby improving the quality and comfort of the air conditioner 1000.

[0056] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 11 As shown, each rotating blade 311 and each stationary blade 321 are arranged at an angle, and the inclination direction of the stationary blade 321 is consistent with the inclination direction of the rotating blade 311. In other words, by arranging each rotating blade 311 and each stationary blade 321 at an angle, the air blown out from the air conditioner 1000 contacts the opposite side wall of each rotating blade 311 and the opposite side wall of each stationary blade 321, so that the opposite side wall of each rotating blade 311 and the opposite side wall of each stationary blade 321 are evenly heated, thereby preventing condensation from occurring on the rotating member 31 and the stationary blade assembly 32, thereby improving the quality and comfort of the air conditioner 1000.

[0057] At the same time, by making the inclination direction of the stationary blade 321 consistent with the inclination direction of the rotating blade 311, it is ensured that the extension direction of the stationary blade 321 is roughly the same as the extension direction of the rotating blade 311, so that the airflow can continue to flow along the side wall of the rotating blade 311 after passing through the side wall of the stationary blade 321, reducing the obstruction to the airflow, and making the relative side walls of each stationary blade 321 and the rotating blade 311 able to contact the wind, thereby further solving the problem of condensation on the rotating part 31 and the stationary blade assembly 32.

[0058] In some embodiments of the present invention, each rotating blade 311 and each stationary blade 321 are arranged at an angle, and the inclination direction of the stationary blade 321 may not be consistent with the inclination direction of the rotating blade 311. As long as the air blown out from the air conditioner 1000 contacts the opposite side wall of each rotating blade 311 and the opposite side wall of each stationary blade 321, the opposite side wall of each rotating blade 311 and the opposite side wall of each stationary blade 321 can be evenly heated, thereby preventing condensation on the rotating member 31 and the stationary blade assembly 32, thereby improving the quality and comfort of the air conditioner 1000.

[0059] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figures 7 to 9 As shown, the wind-free structure 100 further includes a first driving member 4, which is connected to the rotating member 31 to drive the rotating member 31 to rotate. In other words, the first driving member 4 drives the rotating member 31 to rotate, thereby making the rotation of the rotating member 31 simpler and more reliable. In some embodiments of the present invention, the first driving member 4 can be mounted on the mounting plate 33 to ensure more reliable transmission between the first driving member 4 and the rotating member 31. Furthermore, the first driving member 4 can be positioned above the rotating member 31 to prevent the first driving member 4 from obstructing the airflow, thereby ensuring smoother airflow.

[0060] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figures 7 to 9As shown, the first driving member 4 can be a driving motor, and a first gear 42 is connected to the output shaft of the driving motor. A second gear 43 is provided between the first gear 42 and the rotating member 31, and the second gear 43 is respectively engaged with the first gear 42 and the rotating member 31, so that the output shaft of the driving motor drives the first gear 42 to rotate when it rotates, and then the first gear 42 drives the rotating member 31 to rotate through the second gear 43. At the same time, the rotation speed and rotation accuracy of the rotating member 31 can be more controllable by changing the gear ratio among the first gear 42, the second gear 43 and the rotating member 31.

[0061] In some embodiments of the present invention, there are multiple rotating members 31, and a transmission gear 41 is disposed between two adjacent rotating members 31. The transmission gear 41 engages with the rotating members 31 on either side thereof to enable the multiple rotating members 31 to rotate synchronously. In other words, when there are multiple rotating members 31, the transmission gear 41 can be disposed between two adjacent rotating members 31, and the transmission gear 41 engages with the rotating members 31 on either side thereof, thereby enabling the multiple rotating members 31 to rotate synchronously. This ensures that the rotation angle of each rotating member 31 is the same, thereby maintaining a consistent air dispersion effect for each rotating member 31 and providing a more uniform air output from the air conditioner 1000.

[0062] In some embodiments of the present invention, there are multiple stationary blade assemblies, with the multiple rotating members and the multiple stationary blades being provided in a one-to-one correspondence. By providing the multiple rotating members 31 and the multiple stationary blades 321 in a one-to-one correspondence, the windless structure 100 enhances its airflow diffusion function, thereby improving the comfort of using the air conditioner 1000.

[0063] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figures 1 to 9 As shown, the windless structure 100 further includes a movable panel 2, which is movably mounted on the housing 1 and is provided with a plurality of air dispersion holes 21. A wind dispersion structure 3 is disposed on the side wall of the movable panel 2 facing the first air outlet 11 and is directly opposite at least some of the air dispersion holes 21. In other words, by moving the movable panel 2 on the housing 1, the first air outlet 11 is at least partially blocked or avoided by the movement of the movable panel 2. When the movable panel 2 blocks the first air outlet 11, the air blown out by the air conditioner 1000 is first dispersed by the wind dispersion structure 3. The dispersed air then diffuses through the plurality of air dispersion holes 21 on the movable panel 2 toward the environment in which the air conditioner 1000 is located, thereby achieving a windless effect and improving the comfort of using the air conditioner 1000.

[0064] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figures 3 to 6As shown, the movable panel 2 can move in the up-down direction, blocking the first air outlet 11 when moving downward and avoiding the first air outlet 11 when moving upward, thereby making the movement of the movable panel 2 simpler and occupying a smaller moving space. Of course, it is understandable that the movable panel 2 can also be arranged on the housing 1 so as to be movable left and right.

[0065] It should be noted that when the user does not need to change the air outlet state, the movable panel 2 can be moved to make the first air outlet 11 open, that is, at this time the movable panel 2 is in a state of avoiding the first air outlet 11, so that the air blown out by the air conditioner 1000 is directly blown through the first air outlet 11 to the environment where the air conditioner 1000 is located, and then the air conditioner 1000 can change the air outlet state according to the user's choice, so that the air outlet of the air conditioner 1000 is more selective, so that the air conditioner 1000 can meet the different needs of users.

[0066] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figures 1 to 3 As shown, second air outlets 12 are respectively provided on the left and right sides of the shell 1, and the two second air outlets 12 are connected to the first air outlet 11. When the movable panel 2 blocks the first air outlet 11, the wind blown out from the air conditioner 1000 can first be dispersed through the wind dispersion structure 3, and then a part of it flows to the environment where the air conditioner 1000 is located in a diffused manner from the multiple wind dispersion holes 21 on the movable panel 2, and the other part is blown to the environment where the air conditioner 1000 is located through the two second air outlets 12 on the shell 1, so that the air conditioner 1000 can discharge air at the side and front of the shell 1. On the one hand, it can meet the air output of the air conditioner 1000 in a windless state, and on the other hand, it can enable the air conditioner 1000 to discharge air at multiple angles, thereby weakening the wind output at various places, making the air output of the air conditioner 1000 more comfortable.

[0067] Furthermore, each second air outlet 12 is rotatably connected to a louver 121, and the direction of the wind blown out from the second air outlet 12 is adjusted by rotating the louver 121, so that the direction of the wind blown out from the second air outlet 12 is more controllable, thereby avoiding the wind blown out from the second air outlet 12 from blowing toward the user, thereby further improving the comfort of using the air conditioner 1000.

[0068] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figures 7 to 9As shown, the wind dispersing structure 3 includes a mounting plate 33, which is mounted on the movable panel 2 and has a ventilation hole 331 formed therein. The rotating member 31 is mounted on the mounting plate 33, and the rotating member 31 is disposed directly opposite the ventilation hole 331. In other words, by providing the ventilation hole 331 on the mounting plate 33 and facing the rotating member 31, the wind blown by the air conditioner 1000 can flow through the mounting plate 33 through the ventilation hole 331, thereby preventing the mounting plate 33 from affecting the flow of air. In addition, by mounting the rotating member 31 on the mounting plate 33 and connecting the mounting plate 33 to the movable panel 2, the installation of the rotating member 31 is facilitated, thereby improving the structural strength of the movable panel 2.

[0069] In some embodiments of the present invention, multiple stationary blades 321 can be arranged in the ventilation hole 331 at circumferential intervals along the ventilation hole 331, so that when the airflow flows through the ventilation hole 331, the airflow can be diffused by the multiple stationary blades 321, thereby making the structure of the wind-free structure 100 simpler.

[0070] In some embodiments of the present invention, a limiting protrusion is provided on the mounting plate 33. After the movable panel 2 moves to a preset position, the limiting protrusion can stop on the shell 1 to limit the further movement of the movable panel 2, thereby making the movement of the movable panel 2 more reliable.

[0071] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figures 7 to 9 As shown, the movable panel 2 includes a front side panel 22 and a bottom panel 23 connected to the lower end of the front side panel 22. The front side panel 22 is provided with air dispersion holes 21. When the movable panel 2 blocks the first air outlet 11, the front side panel 22 is positioned directly opposite the first air outlet 11, the bottom panel 23 is positioned below the first air outlet 11, and the air dispersion structure 3 is positioned on the front side panel 22. In other words, by positioning the air dispersion structure 3 on the front side panel 22 and positioning the front side panel 22 directly opposite the first air outlet 11, the air blown out by the air conditioner 1000 is dispersed through the air dispersion structure 3. The dispersed air then diffuses through the plurality of air dispersion holes 21 on the front side panel 22 toward the environment in which the air conditioner 1000 is located, thereby achieving a windless airflow effect and improving the comfort of using the air conditioner 1000. Furthermore, by providing the bottom panel 23, when the bottom panel 23 moves below the first air outlet 11, it can be determined that the movable panel 2 has been moved into position.

[0072] In some embodiments of the present invention, a plurality of air dispersion holes 21 are provided on the bottom plate 23. That is, after the air blown out by the air conditioner 1000 is dispersed by the air dispersion structure 3, a portion of the air flows out through the plurality of air dispersion holes 21 on the front side plate 22, and another portion flows out through the plurality of air dispersion holes 21 on the bottom plate 23, thereby achieving multi-directional air discharge from the air conditioner 1000.

[0073] In a further embodiment of the present invention, another part can flow out from the second air outlet 12 on both sides of the shell 1, so that the air conditioner 1000 can discharge air at the same time on the side, front and bottom of the shell 1. While the air outlet in multiple directions can ensure the air volume, the air outlet in various places will also be weakened, making the air outlet of the air conditioner 1000 more comfortable.

[0074] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figures 1 to 6 As shown, a guide plate 14 is rotatably connected to the shell 1. When the movable panel 2 blocks the first air outlet 11, the guide plate 14 can guide part of the wind dispersed by the wind dispersion structure 3 to the bottom plate 23, so that the part of the wind flows from the multiple wind dispersion holes 21 of the bottom plate 23 in a diffused manner to the bottom of the air conditioner 1000, thereby avoiding the wind blown out from the first air outlet 11 from blowing directly to the user, thereby improving the comfort of using the air conditioner 1000.

[0075] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figures 7 to 9 As shown, the windless structure 100 further includes a second drive mechanism 5 for driving the movable panel 2 to move. The second drive mechanism 5 includes a motor 51, a gear 52, and a rack 53. The motor 51 is disposed on the housing 1. The gear 52 is connected to the output shaft of the motor 51. The rack 53 is disposed on the wind dispersion structure 3 and is adapted to mesh with the gear 52. In other words, when the movable panel 2 needs to be driven to move, the gear 52 meshes with the rack 53 on the wind dispersion structure 3, and the motor 51 rotates forward or reverse, thereby driving the movable panel 2 to move upward or downward, thereby making the movement of the movable panel 2 more reliable.

[0076] In some embodiments of the present invention, there are second driving mechanisms 5 on both the left and right sides of the windless structure 100. The two second driving mechanisms 5 simultaneously drive the movable panel 2 to move up and down, so that the movement of the movable panel 2 is more reliable.

[0077] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figures 7 to 9 As shown, the wind-free structure 100 further includes a limit plate 34, which is provided on the movable panel 2. When the movable panel 2 moves, the limit plate 34 is adapted to contact the housing 1 to limit the displacement of the movable panel 2. In other words, by installing the limit plate 34 on the movable panel 2, after the movable panel 2 moves to a predetermined position, the limit plate 34 can abut against the housing 1 to limit further movement of the movable panel 2, thereby making the movement of the movable panel 2 more reliable.

[0078] In some embodiments of the present invention, a plurality of through holes 341 are provided on the limiting plate 34 , and the plurality of through holes 341 are arranged opposite to the plurality of rotating parts 31 , so that the airflow can pass through the limiting plate 34 through the plurality of through holes 341 , thereby preventing the limiting plate 34 from affecting the flow of the airflow.

[0079] An air conditioner 1000 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a housing 1 and a wind-free structure 100. The housing 1 has a first air outlet 11. The wind-free structure 100 is the wind-free structure 100 according to the above-described embodiment of the present invention. The wind-free structure 100 is movably disposed on the housing 1 to at least partially block or avoid the first air outlet 11. The wind-free structure 100 is adapted to diffuse the air blown out of the first air outlet 11.

[0080] According to the air conditioner 1000 of the embodiment of the present invention, the air blown out by the air conditioner 1000 is first dispersed through the air dispersion structure 3, so that the air discharged by the air conditioner 1000 achieves a windless effect, thereby improving the comfort of using the air conditioner 1000. At the same time, by tilting each rotating blade 311 and / or each stationary blade 321 so that air flows through the opposite side walls of the rotating blade 311, the opposite side walls of each stationary blade 321 and / or each rotating blade 311 are evenly heated, avoiding condensation, thereby improving the quality and comfort of the air conditioner 1000.

[0081] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figures 1 to 6 As shown, a housing 1 is provided with a housing cavity 13. When the windless structure 100 avoids the first air outlet 11, at least a portion of the windless structure 100 is accommodated in the housing cavity 13. In other words, when the windless structure 100 blocks at least a portion of the first air outlet 11, the remaining portion of the windless structure 100 can be accommodated in the housing cavity 13 to protect the windless structure 100. When the windless structure 100 no longer needs to block the first air outlet 11, the windless structure 100 can be completely accommodated in the housing cavity 13 to protect the windless structure 100.

[0082] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the front side of the housing 1 is provided with an upper panel 16, and a receiving cavity 13 is formed between the upper panel 16 and the housing 1, so that the structure of the receiving cavity 13 is simplified. In addition, the portion of the upper panel 16 facing the windless sensing structure 100 can be made of a transparent material, so that the position of the windless sensing structure 100 can be observed, making the position of the windless sensing structure 100 more intuitive and easier to observe and control.
