[0044] 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.

[0045] Reference below Figures 1-9 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.

[0046] 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.

[0047] The wind-free structure 100 includes a movable panel 2 and a wind dispersion structure 3. The movable panel 2 is movably mounted on the housing 1 and is provided with a plurality of wind dispersion holes 21. The wind dispersion structure 3 is located on the side wall of the movable panel 2 facing the first air outlet 11 and is directly opposite at least some of the wind dispersion holes 21. The wind dispersion structure 3 is adapted to disperse the air blown out of the first air outlet 11.

[0048] It can be understood that by moving the movable panel 2 on the shell 1, the first air outlet 11 can be 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 wind blown out by the air conditioner 1000 is first dispersed through the wind dispersion structure 3, and then the dispersed wind flows from the multiple wind dispersion holes 21 on the movable panel 2 in a diffused manner to the environment where the air conditioner 1000 is located, so that the air outlet of the air conditioner 1000 achieves a windless effect, thereby improving the comfort of using the air conditioner 1000.

[0049] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figures 3 to 6 As 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.

[0050] 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.

[0051] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figures 1 to 3As 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.

[0052] 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.

[0053] According to the windless structure 100 of the air conditioner 1000 according to an embodiment of the present invention, when the movable panel 2 blocks at least a portion of the first air outlet 11, the wind blown out by the air conditioner 1000 is first dispersed through the wind dispersion structure 3, and then the dispersed wind flows from the multiple wind dispersion holes 21 on the movable panel 2 in a diffused manner to the environment where the air conditioner 1000 is located, so that the air outlet of the air conditioner 1000 achieves a windless effect, thereby improving the comfort of using the air conditioner 1000.

[0054] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figures 7 to 9 As shown, the wind dispersion structure 3 includes a rotating member 31, which is rotatably mounted on the movable panel 2 to disperse the wind. Specifically, when the movable panel 2 blocks at least a portion of the first air outlet 11, the rotating member 31 connected to the movable panel 2 rotates. When the wind blown out of the air conditioner 1000 passes through the rotating member 31, the rotating member 31 rotates on the movable panel 2, thereby diffusing the wind. This diffused wind then flows through the multiple air dispersion holes 21 on the movable panel 2 toward the environment surrounding the air conditioner 1000, thereby weakening the wind flowing out of the first air outlet 11 and improving the comfort of using the air conditioner 1000.

[0055] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figures 7 to 9As shown, the wind-free structure 100 further includes a stationary blade assembly 32, which includes a plurality of stationary blades 321 spaced apart along the circumferential direction. In the direction of air flow, the stationary blade assembly 32 and the rotating member 31 are spaced apart. That is, when the movable panel 2 blocks at least a portion of the first air outlet 11, the stationary blade assembly 32 and the rotating member 31 are spaced apart in the direction of wind flow, so that 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 member 31 during flow. Thus, 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.

[0056] 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.

[0057] 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.

[0058] In some embodiments of the present invention, the rotating member 31 is formed into a wind wheel structure, and the rotating member 31 includes a plurality of rotating blades 311 arranged along the circumference. In other words, the rotating member 31 can be a wind wheel, and the wind wheel rotates to diffuse the wind blown out by the air conditioner 1000. At the same time, by rotating the rotating member 31, the position between the plurality of rotating blades 311 of the rotating member 31 and the plurality of stationary blades 321 is adjusted, thereby changing the opening and closing degree of the flow channel formed between the rotating member 31 and the stationary blade assembly 32, thereby controlling the flow rate of the airflow passing through the wind-free structure 100, so as to control the air output of the air conditioner 1000 and meet the needs of the user.

[0059] In some embodiments of the present invention, the number of rotating blades 311 is the same as the number of stationary blades 321. That is, when the rotating member 31 rotates, by making the number of the plurality of rotating blades 311 the same as the number of the plurality of stationary blades 321, the plurality of rotating blades 311 and the plurality of stationary blades 321 can also be arranged in a one-to-one correspondence, thereby facilitating adjustment of the positions of the plurality of rotating blades 311 and the plurality of stationary blades 321, thereby making it easier to adjust the opening and closing degree of the flow channel more precisely, thereby ensuring that the air output of the air conditioner 1000 is more controllable.

[0060] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figures 7 to 9 As shown, there are multiple rotating members 31 and multiple stationary blade assemblies 32, and the multiple rotating members 31 are respectively provided in a one-to-one correspondence with the multiple stationary blades 321. In other words, by providing the multiple rotating members 31 in a one-to-one correspondence with the multiple stationary blades 321, the windless structure 100 enhances the airflow diffusion function, thereby improving the comfort of using the air conditioner 1000.

[0061] In some embodiments of the present invention, the position between the rotating blade 311 of each rotating member 31 and the corresponding static blade 321 can be adjusted by rotating multiple rotating members 31, thereby changing the opening and closing degree of the flow channel formed between each rotating member 31 and the corresponding static blade 321, so that the flow rate of the airflow passing through the windless structure 100 can be more controllable.

[0062] In some embodiments of the present invention, the rotating member 31 can be continuously rotated to diffuse and guide the wind blown out from the air conditioner 1000, or the rotating member 31 can be rotated at a predetermined angle relative to the static blade 321, thereby adjusting the opening and closing degree of the flow channel formed between the rotating member 31 and the static blade assembly 32, thereby 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 and meet the needs of the user.

[0063] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figures 7 to 9 As 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.

[0064] 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.

[0065] 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.

[0066] 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.

[0067] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figures 7 to 9 As 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.

[0068] 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.

[0069] 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.

[0070] 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.

[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 some embodiments of the present invention, the apertures of the air dispersion holes 21 on the bottom plate 23 and the air dispersion holes 21 on the front side plate 22 may be greater than 2.2 mm, and the distribution density may be greater than or equal to 3.9 mm to ensure the air output of the air conditioner 1000.

[0074] 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.

[0075] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figures 1 to 6As 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.

[0076] 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.

[0077] 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.

[0078] 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.

[0079] like Figures 1 to 9 As shown, according to the air conditioner 1000 of an embodiment of the present invention, when the movable panel 2 blocks at least a portion of the first air outlet 11, the wind blown out by the air conditioner 1000 is first dispersed through the wind dispersion structure 3, and then the dispersed wind flows from the multiple wind dispersion holes 21 on the movable panel 2 in a diffused manner to the environment where the air conditioner 1000 is located, so that the air outlet of the air conditioner 1000 achieves a windless effect, thereby improving the comfort of using the air conditioner 1000.

[0080] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figures 1 to 6As 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.

[0081] 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.
