[0041] Refer to the following Figures 1 to 5 The air conditioner indoor unit 10 of the embodiment of the present invention is described. The directions or positional relationships indicated by "front", "rear", "upper", "lower", "inner", "outer", "lateral", etc. are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction, be constructed and operate in a specific direction, and therefore cannot be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0042] Figure 1 is a schematic structural diagram of an air-conditioning indoor unit 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 1 is an exploded schematic diagram of an air-conditioning indoor unit 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0043] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the air conditioner indoor unit 10 of this embodiment is a wall-mounted air conditioner indoor unit, including a housing and two centrifugal fans 14 arranged in a receiving space inside the housing. An air inlet 11a is formed on each of the lateral sides of the housing, and the housing is also formed with two air outlets, one of which is formed at the upper front side of the housing, denoted as the upper air outlet 12a, and the other air outlet is formed at the lower front side of the housing, denoted as the lower air outlet 12b.

[0044] The air conditioner indoor unit 10 further includes two air inlet frames 19 corresponding to the two air inlets 11a1, and at least one end face and / or at least one side face of the air inlet frame 19 is formed with an opening. The air inlet frame 19 is configured to be controllably movable between a position embedded in the corresponding air inlet 11a1 and a position protruding from the corresponding air inlet 11a1. When the air inlet frame 19 moves to a position embedded in the corresponding air inlet 11a1, ambient air enters the housing only through the outer surface of the air inlet frame 19. When the air inlet frame 19 moves to a position protruding from the corresponding air inlet 11a1, the opening of the air inlet frame 19 is exposed, so that part of the air enters the housing through the outer surface of the air inlet frame 19, and part of the air enters the housing through the opening of the air inlet frame 19, thereby increasing the air intake of the indoor unit 10. The air inlet frame 19 may be a grille-type air inlet frame.

[0045] In this embodiment, one of the two centrifugal fans 14 is configured to cause part of the airflow to flow from one of the air inlet frames 19 to the upper part of the accommodating space, so that the part of the airflow is blown out from the upper air outlet 12a, and the other centrifugal fan 14 is configured to cause part of the airflow to flow from the other air inlet frame 19 to the lower part of the accommodating space, so that the part of the airflow is blown out from the lower air outlet 12b.

[0046] In some embodiments, the projection of the shell in a plane parallel to the rotation axis of the centrifugal fan 14 is circular, and the projections of the upper air outlet 12a and the lower air outlet 12b in a plane parallel to the rotation axis of the centrifugal fan 14 are both circular, making the entire air-conditioning indoor unit 10 unique and beautiful in appearance, completely different from the existing long wall-mounted air-conditioning indoor unit 10, and meeting the user's personalized aesthetic needs.

[0047] In the existing scheme, the air conditioner indoor unit 10 with similar appearance has an air outlet and an air supply fan. In order to meet the air supply demand of the air conditioner indoor unit 10, the air supply fan has a large power and a large volume, resulting in a large overall thickness of the air conditioner indoor unit 10 (the size of the air conditioner indoor unit 10 in the front and rear directions), and only one air outlet is provided on the flat surface of the front side of the indoor unit 10, which affects the overall aesthetics of the indoor unit 10. In this embodiment, a new improvement is made to the air conditioner indoor unit 10, and the air supply of the air conditioner indoor unit 10 is realized by adopting two centrifugal fans 14. The sizes of the two centrifugal fans 14 are relatively small, which can greatly reduce the overall volume and thickness of the air conditioner indoor unit 10; and, by forming an upper air outlet 12a at the upper part of the front side of the shell and a lower air outlet 12b at the lower part of the front side of the shell, the upper air outlet 12a and the lower air outlet 12b complement each other, avoiding the visual abruptness brought by one air outlet, making the overall appearance of the indoor unit 10 more harmonious and beautiful, meeting the higher aesthetic needs of users.

[0048] In addition, since the indoor unit 10 has two independent centrifugal fans 14 and two independent air outlets, the states of the two centrifugal fans 14 can be controlled according to the operation mode of the indoor unit 10 to control the air outlet position, achieve better heating / cooling effect and improve air supply comfort. For example, in the cooling mode, the centrifugal fan 14 that causes part of the airflow to flow to the upper part of the storage space in the shell can be controlled to open. Under the action of the centrifugal fan 14, the cold air flows to the upper part and blows forward through the upper air outlet 12a, while the other centrifugal fan 14 (the centrifugal fan 14 that causes part of the airflow to flow to the lower part of the storage space in the shell) remains closed, and the cold air is only blown forward from the upper air outlet 12a, raising the cold air outlet position to avoid the cold air blowing directly downward to the user and causing discomfort to the user. Since the cold air has a tendency to sink, the cold air is blown upward as much as possible to improve the cooling effect and avoid the cold air blowing directly to the human body and affecting the user's cooling experience.

[0049] In heating mode, the centrifugal fan 14 that causes part of the airflow to flow toward the lower part of the storage space in the shell can be controlled to be turned on, while the other centrifugal fan 14 (the centrifugal fan 14 that causes part of the airflow to flow toward the upper part of the storage space in the shell) is turned off, and the hot air is only blown forward from the lower air outlet 12b, which lowers the hot air outlet position, and prevents the hot air from rising and causing the temperature of the lower space in the room to fail to rise in time, affecting the user's heating experience. Since hot air has an upward trend, the hot air is blown downward as much as possible, so that the temperature of the upper space and the temperature of the lower space in the room are uniform, thereby improving the heating effect and the user's heating experience.

[0050] In some embodiments, the housing includes a rear shell 11 with an open front side and a front panel 12 located at the front side of the rear shell 11 and forming a receiving space with the rear shell 11. Accordingly, the projections of the rear shell 11 and the front panel 12 on a plane parallel to the rotation axis of the centrifugal fan 14 are both circular. The rear shell 11 is formed with the aforementioned two air inlets 11a, and the upper air outlet 12a and the lower air outlet 12b are both formed on the front panel 12, the upper air outlet 12a is formed on the upper part of the front panel 12, and the lower air outlet 12b is formed on the lower part of the front panel 12.

[0051] In some embodiments, the diameter of the upper air outlet 12a is equal to the diameter of the lower air outlet 12b, and the ratio of the diameter of the upper air outlet 12a to the diameter of the shell is in the range of 0.2:1 to 0.3:1. For example, the ratio of the diameter of the upper air outlet 12a to the diameter of the shell is 0.26. In some embodiments, the upper air outlet 12a and the lower air outlet 12b are symmetrically distributed relative to the transverse center line of the shell. By designing the upper air outlet 12a and the lower air outlet 12b to be circular and symmetrically distributed, the upper air outlet 12a and the lower air outlet 12b are designed to meet the public's aesthetic standards, further increasing the aesthetics and coordination of the indoor unit 10.

[0052] In some embodiments, the ratio of the distance dimension between the center point of the upper air outlet 12a and the center point of the lower air outlet 12b to the shell diameter dimension ranges from 0.6:1 to 0.75:1. For example, the ratio of the distance dimension between the center point of the upper air outlet 12a and the center point of the lower air outlet 12b to the shell diameter dimension is 0.66. The position and size of the upper air outlet 12a and the lower air outlet 12b are designed in this way, so that the size and position of the upper air outlet 12a and the lower air outlet 12b can be more harmoniously matched with the overall size of the front panel 12, further increasing the aesthetics and coordination of the indoor unit 10.

[0053] In some embodiments, the two air inlets 11a are relatively distributed to improve the aesthetics of the indoor unit 10. In an embodiment where the housing is circular, the two air inlets 11a can be symmetrically distributed relative to the longitudinal center line of the housing, further improving the aesthetics of the indoor unit 10. Since the housing is circular, each air inlet 11a is arc-shaped. Accordingly, the air inlet frame 19 is in an arc shape that matches the corresponding air inlet 11a. When the air inlet frame 19 is embedded in the position of the corresponding air inlet 11a, the outer surface of the air inlet frame 19 can be kept flat with the outer surface of the housing, thereby increasing the aesthetics of the appearance of the indoor unit 10.

[0054] The air conditioner indoor unit 10 of this embodiment also includes two heat exchangers 13, which should correspond to the two air inlets 11a one by one and are respectively arranged inside the shell on the inner side of the corresponding air inlet 11a to exchange heat with the ambient air entering through the corresponding air inlet frame 19.

[0055] like Figure 2 As shown, the projection of each heat exchanger 13 in a plane parallel to the rotation axis of the centrifugal fan 14 is an arc, so as to match the corresponding air inlet 11a, increase the air inlet area, reduce the air inlet resistance, and improve the heat exchange efficiency of the heat exchanger 13. The center of the arc-shaped heat exchanger 13 can coincide with the center of the shell, and the two heat exchangers 13 are symmetrically distributed relative to the vertical center line of the shell, which ensures the size of the heat exchanger 13 and provides sufficient remaining space for the arrangement of the centrifugal fan 14 and other components in the shell.

[0056] In some embodiments, the maximum value of the lateral distance between the heat exchanger 13 and the corresponding air inlet 11a ranges from 30 to 40 mm, and the size of the heat exchanger 13 is sufficient to cover the position opposite to the air inlet 11a, thereby ensuring the heat exchange efficiency of the heat exchanger 13.

[0057] In some embodiments, the lateral distance between the heat exchanger 13 and the fan inlet 14a of the corresponding centrifugal fan 14 may range from 40 to 70 mm, for example, the lateral distance is 57 mm.

[0058] In some embodiments, the air conditioner indoor unit 10 further includes two water receiving pans 16, which correspond to the two heat exchangers 13 one by one and are respectively located at the bottom of the corresponding heat exchangers 13. A drain port (not shown) is formed at the bottom of each water receiving pan 16, and the drain port is connected to a drain pipe, through which the condensed water received in the water receiving pan 16 is discharged.

[0059] In this embodiment, the rotating shafts of the two centrifugal fans 14 extend laterally, and the two centrifugal fans 14 are located on both sides of the vertical center line of the shell in the lateral direction. The fan inlet 14a of one centrifugal fan 14 faces the air inlet located on the same side as the centrifugal fan 14, and the fan inlet 14a of the other centrifugal fan 14 faces the air inlet located on the same side as the centrifugal fan 14. That is to say, the fan inlets 14a of the two centrifugal fans 14 face back to back and toward the corresponding air inlets, respectively, to encourage the ambient air around the indoor unit 10 to enter the shell through the corresponding air inlets.

[0060] The fan outlet 14b of one centrifugal fan 14 is upward, and the fan outlet 14b of the other centrifugal fan 14 is downward. The centrifugal fan 14 with the fan outlet 14b upward is configured to cause part of the air flow to enter the shell through the air inlet corresponding to the centrifugal fan 14, exchange heat with the corresponding heat exchanger 13, and flow toward the upper part of the accommodating space, so that the part of the air flow is blown out from the upper air outlet 12a; the centrifugal fan 14 with the fan outlet 14b downward is configured to cause part of the air flow to enter the shell through the air inlet corresponding to the centrifugal fan 14, exchange heat with the corresponding heat exchanger 13, and flow toward the lower part of the accommodating space, so that the part of the air flow is blown out from the lower air outlet 12b, thereby achieving air flow blowing out from both the upper air outlet 12a and the lower air outlet 12b.

[0061] Figure 3 1 is a schematic structural diagram of an air deflector 15 of an air conditioner indoor unit 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0062] In some embodiments, in order to guide the airflow to the upper air outlet 12a and the lower air outlet 12b respectively, the air conditioner indoor unit 10 also includes two air guide covers 15 corresponding to the two centrifugal fans 14 one by one, each air guide cover 15 has an air collecting chamber connected to the fan outlet 14b of the corresponding centrifugal fan 14 and a guide air duct passing through the air collecting chamber, and a guide air outlet 15b opposite to the corresponding air outlet is formed on the front side of the guide air duct to guide the heat exchange airflow to the corresponding air outlet. The air guide cover 15 is configured to guide the airflow of the fan outlet 14b of the corresponding centrifugal fan 14 to the corresponding air outlet, that is, the air guide cover 15 corresponding to the centrifugal fan 14 with the fan outlet 14b upward guides the airflow of the fan outlet 14b of the centrifugal fan 14 to the upper air outlet 12a, so that the airflow is blown forward from the upper air outlet 12a; the air guide cover 15 corresponding to the centrifugal fan 14 with the fan outlet 14b downward guides the airflow of the fan outlet 14b of the centrifugal fan 14 to the lower air outlet 12b, so that the airflow is blown forward from the lower air outlet 12b.

[0063] In some embodiments, the air guide cover 15 includes a horizontal wall 151 extending forward and backward, a curved wall 152, a front side wall 153, a rear side wall (not marked), and an arc-shaped partition wall 154. The horizontal wall 151 is formed with an air guide inlet 15a connected to the fan outlet 14b of the corresponding centrifugal fan 14; one end of the curved wall 152 in the circumferential direction is connected to one end of the horizontal wall 151 in the transverse direction; the other end of the curved wall 152 in the circumferential direction is connected to the other end of the horizontal wall 151 in the transverse direction, thereby defining a cavity with the horizontal wall 151; the front side wall 153 connects the front side of the horizontal wall 151 with the front side of the curved wall 152; The front side of the air deflector 15 is closed to close the front side of the cavity, and the rear side wall connects the rear side of the horizontal wall 151 and the rear side of the curved wall 152, so as to close the rear side of the air deflector 15, and the rear side of the air deflector 15 is closed to close the rear side of the cavity; the arc-shaped partition wall 154 is formed in the cavity, and the cavity is divided into the aforementioned air collecting cavity and the guide air duct, and the arc-shaped partition wall 154 is formed with an opening connecting the air collecting cavity and the guide air duct, and the front side wall 153 is formed with the aforementioned guide air outlet 15b opposite to the guide air duct. The air deflector 15 thus formed has an air collecting cavity, and the airflow flowing out of the fan air outlet 14b of the centrifugal fan 14 enters the air collecting cavity of the air deflector 15, and is mixed in the air collecting cavity, thereby ensuring the uniformity of the air output; and the air deflector 15 with the aforementioned special shape is used to cooperate with the centrifugal fan 14 to realize smooth transition air supply, which can reduce airflow loss, reduce turbulence, thereby improving air supply efficiency and reducing noise.

[0064] In some embodiments, the guide air duct defined by the arc-shaped partition wall 154 and the curved wall 152 is preferably a cylindrical structure, that is, the portion of the curved wall 152 opposite to the arc-shaped partition wall 154 is an arc shape that forms a circular arc with the arc-shaped partition wall 154, so that the guide air duct defined by the cylindrical structure matches the corresponding circular air outlet shape, and the airflow of the guide air duct is directly blown forward through the corresponding air outlet, thereby improving the smoothness of the airflow delivery, reducing airflow loss, and further improving the air supply efficiency.

[0065] It can be understood that the centrifugal fan 14 generally includes a volute 141 having a accommodating chamber and an impeller (not shown) arranged in the accommodating chamber. In this embodiment, the accommodating chamber should extend laterally, the accommodating chamber has a fan air inlet 14a, and the volute 141 has a fan air outlet 14b connected to the accommodating chamber. The impeller can rotate around a transverse axis relative to the volute 141.

[0066] In some embodiments, in order to reduce the overall structural size of the entire indoor unit 10, two efficient centrifugal fans are required to deliver air, so as to improve the performance requirements on the basis of meeting the appearance size of the indoor unit 10. Based on the centrifugal fan pressure loss, with the help of simulation analysis, it is determined that two single-suction backward centrifugal fans are used as the centrifugal fans 14 of the air conditioner indoor unit of this embodiment, and each single-suction backward centrifugal fan meets the following conditions:

[0067] The blade installation outlet angle βb2 of the impeller of each single-suction backward centrifugal fan satisfies 30°≤βb2≤40°. For example, the blade installation outlet angle βb2 of each single-suction backward centrifugal fan is 35°. The specific speed ns of each single-suction backward centrifugal fan satisfies 58≤ns≤60. For example, the specific speed ns of each single-suction backward centrifugal fan is 59.48. The circumferential speed u2 of each single-suction backward centrifugal fan satisfies 11≤u2≤12 m / s. For example, the circumferential speed u2 of each single-suction backward centrifugal fan is 11.83 m / s. The total pressure coefficient Ψ of each single-suction backward centrifugal fan satisfies 0.7≤Ψ≤0.9. For example, the total pressure coefficient Ψ of each single-suction backward centrifugal fan is 0.88.

[0068] In this way, by adopting a single-suction backward centrifugal fan as the air supply fan of this embodiment, the air supply efficiency is higher than that of the forward centrifugal fan, and since the airflow through the curved blade path of the centrifugal fan forms a speed difference due to the centrifugal force, the single-suction backward centrifugal fan can alleviate the degree of unevenness caused by the airflow speed difference. In addition, by limiting the installation outlet angle βb2, the specific speed ns, the circumferential speed u2 and the total pressure coefficient Ψ of the single-suction backward centrifugal fan to the above special numerical range, the pressure loss of the single-suction backward centrifugal fan can be reduced and the air intake of the single-suction backward centrifugal fan can be increased. At the same time, under the premise of ensuring the above-mentioned better performance of the single-suction backward centrifugal fan, the size of each single-suction backward centrifugal fan can be adjusted to a lower size, for example, each single-suction backward centrifugal fan meets: Ф120*80mm, that is, the diameter of the volute is 120 mm and the thickness is 80 mm.

[0069] This ensures that the size of the indoor unit 10 can be adjusted to a lower size. For example, the overall size of the shell is Φ500*200mm, that is, the diameter of the shell is 500mm and the thickness is 220mm. The diameters of the upper air outlet 12a and the lower air outlet 12b can both be 120mm. Under the premise of ensuring the air supply performance of the indoor unit 10, the overall size of the indoor unit 10 is reduced to meet the user's demand for a miniaturized appearance of the air conditioner indoor unit 10.

[0071] In some embodiments, the air conditioning indoor unit 10 also includes two air outlet ducts 18 extending forward and backward and distributed up and down in the accommodating space. The upper air outlet duct 18 corresponds to the upper air guide cover 15, and the lower air outlet duct 18 corresponds to the lower air guide cover 15.

[0072] Each air outlet pipe 18 includes an outer pipe 181 extending forward and backward and a first inner pipe 182 connected to the inner wall of the outer pipe 181 and extending gradually from back to front to protrude from the front side of the outer pipe 181. The air inlet end of the outer pipe 181 passes through the guide outlet 15b of the corresponding air guide cover 15 and is located in the corresponding guide air duct, so that the heat exchange air flow enters the corresponding air outlet pipe 18 from the guide air duct through the air inlet end of the outer pipe 181. The air inlet end of the first inner tube 182 is located in the outer tube 181 near the front end of the outer tube 181, and the air outlet end of the first inner tube 182 protrudes from the front side of the corresponding air outlet, and a first spacing space 103 is formed between the inner peripheral wall of the outer tube 181 and the outer peripheral wall of the first inner tube 182, that is, the first inner tube 182 is a trumpet-shaped structure from back to front, and the outer tube 181 and the first inner tube 182 form a round tube, and part of the heat exchange airflow can flow forward through the internal space of the first inner tube 182, and part of the heat exchange airflow can flow forward through the first spacing space 103. This increases the air outlet range and achieves a better air supply effect.

[0073] In some embodiments, each air outlet duct 18 also includes a second inner tube 183, which gradually extends from back to front in the corresponding first inner tube 182, and a second partition space 104 is formed between the outer peripheral wall of the second inner tube 183 and the inner peripheral wall of the corresponding first inner tube 182. The heat exchange airflow flowing to the upper part of the shell accommodating space enters the outer tube 181 and is divided into three parts. Part of the heat exchange airflow is blown out from the first partition space 103 to the front side, part of the heat exchange airflow is blown out from the second partition space 104 to the front side, and part of the heat exchange airflow is blown out from the second inner tube 183 to the front side, thereby further expanding the air outlet range, and making the heat exchange airflow blow forward in a more dispersed manner, so that the blown heat exchange airflow is mixed with the surrounding indoor environment airflow, further improving the air supply uniformity and comfort.

[0074] In this embodiment, by designing each air outlet pipe 18 as a zigzag structure as described above, the air outlet range can be increased and a wide-area air supply effect can be achieved; and the heat exchange air flows toward the front side of the air outlet corresponding to the indoor unit 10 and diffuses around it, sucking in the surrounding air to flow forward, further improving the uniformity of air supply, making the wind softer and more natural, and feeling cool but not cold when blowing on people, thereby improving user comfort.

[0075] The first inner tube 182 passes through the bracket ( Figure 5 ) is connected to the inner wall of the outer tube 181, and the second inner tube is connected to the inner wall of the outer tube 181 by another bracket ( Figure 5The bracket (not shown) is connected to the inner wall of the first inner tube 182, and the bracket plays the role of fixing the first inner tube 182 and the second inner tube 183, and is small in size to avoid blocking the forward flow of the airflow. For example, the outer wall of the first inner tube 182 is spaced apart with a plurality of first connecting rods (not shown) along the circumferential direction, and the plurality of first connecting rods constitute the aforementioned bracket, and the first inner tube 182 is fixed to the outer tube through the plurality of first connecting rods distributed at intervals. Correspondingly, the outer wall of the second inner tube 183 is distributed with a plurality of second connecting rods (not shown), and the plurality of second connecting rods constitute the aforementioned other bracket, and the second inner tube 183 is fixed to the first inner tube 182 through the plurality of second connecting rods distributed at intervals.

[0076] In some embodiments, the inner circumferential wall of the outer tube 181 of each air outlet duct 18 includes a rear wall section 181a and a front wall section 181b which are connected in sequence from the air inlet end to the air outlet end of the outer tube 181. The rear wall section 181a is a hollow truncated cone that gradually expands from the air inlet end of the outer tube 181 to the front, and the front wall section 181b is a hollow truncated cone that gradually expands from the position connected to the rear wall section 181a to the air outlet end of the outer tube 181, and the cone angle 2e of the rear wall section 181a is greater than the cone angle 2c of the front wall section 181b. It can also be understood that the inner circumferential wall of the outer tube 181 is divided into two sections from the rear end to the front end of the outer tube 181, namely the rear wall section 181a and the front wall section 181b, the rear wall section 181a is a trumpet shape that gradually expands from the back to the front, and the front wall section 181b is a trumpet shape that gradually expands from the back to the front, and the degree of gradual expansion of the rear wall section 181a is greater than that of the front wall section 181b. Figure 5 As shown, angle e is the angle between the wall surface of the rear wall section 181a and the horizontal line extending front and back, and the cone angle of the rear wall section 181a is 2e; angle c is the angle between the wall surface of the front wall section 181b and the horizontal line extending front and back, and the cone angle of the front wall section 181b is 2c.

[0077] The air inlet end of the first inner tube 182 is located in the space formed by the front wall section 181b, so as to form a first spacing space 103 between the front wall section 181b and the outer peripheral wall of the first inner tube 182, so as to ensure that the airflow enters the outer tube 181, is first mixed and combed in the rear wall section 181a of the outer tube 181, and then flows forward and blows out along different flow paths, thereby reducing eddy current losses. The air inlet end of the first inner tube 182 (that is, the rear end of the first inner tube 182) is approximately the same distance from the rear end of the front wall section 181b of the outer tube 181 as from the front end of the front wall section 181b (that is, the air outlet end of the outer tube 181).

[0078] In some embodiments, the first inner tube 182 is a hollow truncated cone with uniform wall thickness, which gradually expands from its air inlet end to its air outlet end, and the cone angle 2b of the first inner tube 182 is greater than the cone angle 2c of the front wall section 181b of the outer tube 181. It can also be understood that the first inner tube 182 is a gradually expanding trumpet shape from its rear end to the front end.

[0079] In some embodiments, the second inner tube 183 of the air outlet duct 18 extends from back to front in a gradually expanding manner in the corresponding first inner tube 182. It can be understood that the second inner tube 183 is entirely in the first inner tube 182, and is in a gradually expanding trumpet shape from back to front, and the outer peripheral wall of the second inner tube 183 is a truncated cone that gradually expands from back to front. The inner peripheral wall of the second inner tube 183 is a truncated cone that gradually expands from the air inlet end to the air outlet end of the second inner tube 183, that is, the inner peripheral wall of the second inner tube 183 is a truncated cone that gradually expands from back to front. The cone angle 2d of the inner peripheral wall of the second inner tube 183 is greater than the cone angle 2a of the outer peripheral wall of the second inner tube 183, and the cone angle 2a of the outer peripheral wall of the second inner tube is equal to the cone angle 2c of the front wall section 181b of the outer tube 181.

[0080] By limiting the inner wall of the outer tube 181 to the above structure, and limiting the shapes of the first inner tube 182 and the second inner tube 183 to the above structure, the first spacing space 103 (the space between the outer tube 181 and the first inner tube 182), the second spacing space 104 (the space between the first inner tube 182 and the second inner tube 183) and the space within the second inner tube 183 defined thereby can divert the airflow, expand the air outlet range, further reduce eddy losses, and improve air supply efficiency; and make the air outlet softer and more uniform.

[0081] In some embodiments, the cone angle 2c of the front wall section 181b satisfies: 0°<2c≤40°, and the cone angle 2e of the rear wall section 181a satisfies: 0°<2e≤50°. For example, the cone angle 2c of the front wall section 181b is 7.8°, and the cone angle 2e of the rear wall section 181a is 46.2°. In some embodiments, the cone angle 2b of the first inner tube 182 may satisfy: 20°<2b≤80°, and the cone angle 2d of the inner circumferential wall of the second inner tube 183 may satisfy: 30°<2d≤60°. For example, the cone angle 2b of the first inner tube 182 is 60°, and the cone angle 2d of the inner circumferential wall of the second inner tube 183 is 45°. The air outlet duct 18 thus formed can further reduce eddy current loss and improve air supply efficiency.

[0082] The position of the air outlet pipe 18 is recorded as the initial position of the air outlet pipe 18. It can be seen from the above description that when the air outlet pipe 18 is in the initial position, the air outlet end of the first inner tube 182 of each air outlet pipe 18 protrudes from the front side of the corresponding air outlet.

[0083] In some embodiments, the air outlet duct 18 is configured to be controllably movable along the front-to-back direction between a position protruding from the front side of the corresponding air outlet (initial position) and a position retracted into the corresponding air outlet, that is, the air outlet duct 18 located at the top is configured to be controllably movable along the front-to-back direction between a position protruding from the front side of the upper air outlet 12a and a position retracted into the upper air outlet 12a, and the air outlet duct 18 located at the bottom is configured to be controllably movable along the front-to-back direction between a position protruding from the front side of the lower air outlet 12b and a position retracted into the lower air outlet 12b. The position of the air outlet duct 18 protruding from the front side of the corresponding air outlet refers to the aforementioned initial position of the air outlet duct 18, that is, the position of the air outlet duct 18 when the air outlet end of the first inner tube 182 protrudes from the front side of the corresponding air outlet.

[0084] When the air outlet duct 18 is controlled to retract backward to the position in the corresponding air outlet, the outer peripheral wall of the air outlet end of the first inner tube 182 abuts against the inner peripheral wall of the corresponding air outlet to close the first partition space 103, so that part of the heat exchange airflow is blown out from the second inner tube 183 to the front side, and part of the heat exchange airflow is blown out from the second partition space 104 to the front side. That is to say, when the air outlet duct 18 located at the top is controlled to retract to the position in the upper air outlet 12a, the outer peripheral wall of the air outlet end of the first inner tube 182 of the air outlet duct 18 abuts against the inner peripheral wall of the upper air outlet 12a, and part of the heat exchange airflow flowing toward the upper part of the storage space in the shell is blown forward from the second inner tube 183 of the air outlet duct 18 located at the top, and part of the heat exchange airflow is blown forward from the second partition space 104 to the front side; when the air outlet duct 18 located at the bottom is controlled to retract to the position in the lower air outlet 12b, the outer peripheral wall of the air outlet end of the first inner tube 182 of the air outlet duct 18 abuts against the inner peripheral wall of the lower air outlet 12b, and part of the heat exchange airflow flowing toward the lower part of the storage space in the shell is blown forward from the second inner tube 183 of the air outlet duct 18 located at the bottom, and part of the heat exchange airflow is blown forward from the second partition space 104 to the front side.

[0085] As mentioned above, when the air outlet duct 18 is controlled to move forward to a position protruding from the front side of the corresponding air outlet, the air outlet end of the first inner tube 182 protrudes from the front side of the corresponding air outlet. Since the first inner tube 182 is gradually expanded from the back to the front, it can be understood that the outer diameter of the front section of the first inner tube 182 is greater than the outer diameter of the rear section. When the air outlet duct 18 moves forward, the air outlet end of the first inner tube 182 is separated from the inner peripheral wall of the corresponding air outlet, and the air outlet end of the first inner tube 182 protrudes from the front side of the corresponding air outlet, so that the space between the outer wall of the first inner tube 182 and the inner wall of the outer tube 181 (the first spacing space 103) is exposed, so that the heat exchange airflow is blown forward in the first spacing space 103, the second spacing space 104 and the second inner tube 183. In this way, the air supply distance is lengthened, the air supply range is expanded, and the air supply uniformity and user comfort are further improved.

[0086] The movement of the two air outlet ducts 18 and the state of the two centrifugal fans 14 can be controlled according to the operation mode of the air conditioner indoor unit 10. For example, in the cooling mode, the air outlet duct 18 corresponding to the upper air outlet 12a can be controlled to move to a position protruding from the front side of the upper air outlet 12a, and the centrifugal fan 14 that causes part of the air flow to flow to the upper part of the storage space in the shell can be controlled to open; while the air outlet duct 18 corresponding to the lower air outlet 12b can be kept in the lower air outlet 12b and not move forward. Accordingly, the corresponding centrifugal fan 14 (that is, the centrifugal fan 14 that causes part of the air flow to flow to the lower part of the storage space in the shell) remains closed, and the cold air is only blown forward through the air outlet duct 18 located at the upper part, raising the cold air outlet position to avoid the cold air blowing directly downward to the user and causing discomfort to the user. Since the cold air has a tendency to sink, the cold air is blown upward as much as possible to improve the cooling effect and avoid the cold air blowing directly to the human body and affecting the user's cooling experience. In addition, since the air outlet duct 18 located at the upper portion is moved forward to protrude from the front side of the upper air outlet 12a, the air supply range is expanded, the air supply uniformity is improved, and the user's cooling comfort experience is further enhanced.

[0087] In heating mode, the air outlet 18 corresponding to the lower air outlet 12b can be controlled to move to a position protruding from the front side of the lower air outlet 12b, and the corresponding centrifugal fan 14 (that is, the centrifugal fan 14 that causes part of the airflow to flow to the lower part of the storage space in the shell) can be controlled to open, while the air outlet 18 corresponding to the upper air outlet 12a can remain in the upper air outlet 12a and not move forward. Correspondingly, the corresponding centrifugal fan 14 (that is, the centrifugal fan 14 that causes part of the airflow to flow to the upper part of the storage space in the shell) remains closed, and the hot air is only blown forward through the air outlet 18 located at the bottom, which lowers the hot air outlet position, avoids the hot air rising and causing the temperature of the lower space in the room to fail to rise in time, affecting the user's heating experience. Since the hot air has an upward trend, the hot air is blown downward as much as possible, so that the temperature of the upper space and the temperature of the lower space in the room are uniform, improving the heating effect and the user's heating experience. In addition, since the air outlet duct 18 located at the lower portion is moved forward to protrude from the front side of the lower air outlet 12b, the air supply range is expanded, the air supply uniformity is improved, and the user's heating comfort experience is further enhanced.

[0088] In this embodiment, the air conditioner indoor unit 10 further includes an electric control board 17, which is disposed between the two centrifugal fans 14. The electric control board 17 is configured to control the operation of the two centrifugal fans 14. In some embodiments, the electric control board 17 also controls the movement of the two air outlet pipes 18. The electric control board 17 is arranged in the space between the two centrifugal fans 14, so that the arrangement of the components in the housing is compact and orderly, and the overall size of the indoor unit 10 is further reduced.

[0089] like Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the air-conditioning indoor unit 10 of this embodiment also includes two driving units, and the two driving units correspond to the two air outlet ducts 18 one by one. Each driving unit may include a rack 102, a gear (not shown) and a motor (not shown) for driving the gear to rotate, wherein the motor is arranged in the accommodating space of the shell, and the gear is engaged with the rack 102 to drive the corresponding air outlet duct 18 to move along the front-to-back direction between a position protruding from the front side of the corresponding air outlet and a position retracted into the corresponding air outlet.

[0090] The length of the tooth segment of the rack 102 that meshes with the gear should be equal to or greater than the distance between the corresponding air outlet end of the outer tube 181 and the air outlet end of the first inner tube 182, so as to ensure that the air outlet duct 18 can be moved forward so that the part of the first inner tube 182 located in front of the outer tube 181 is completely extended out of the corresponding air outlet of the indoor unit 10, so as to further increase the air outlet range and air supply distance, and improve the air supply efficiency and air outlet uniformity.

[0091] In some embodiments, the air inlet ends of the two air outlet pipes 18 (that is, the air inlet ends of the outer pipe 181) pass through the corresponding guide air outlet 15b of the guide cover 15 and are located in the guide air duct, and the air inlet ends of the air outlet pipes 18 are in sliding contact with the corresponding guide air duct outlet 15b, and during the forward and backward movement of the air outlet pipes 18, the rear section of the air outlet pipes 18 is always in the guide air duct of the corresponding guide air duct 15. It can be understood that the size of the air outlet pipes 18, the size of the guide air duct, and the size of the opening connecting the air collecting cavity and the guide air duct formed by the arc-shaped partition wall 154 need to ensure that when the air outlet pipes 18 move forward or backward, the heat exchange air can enter the guide air duct through the air collecting cavity.

[0092] In some implementations of this embodiment, the rack 102 may be formed on the outer peripheral wall of the corresponding air outlet duct 18, extending from front to rear. The gear and motor of each drive unit are located at the rear end of the corresponding single-suction backward centrifugal fan 14 in the accommodation space of the housing, see Figure 2 and Figure 3 The two air guide ducts of the two air guide covers 15 are formed with front-to-rear extending notches 15c adapted to the corresponding racks 102 on the air outlet pipe 18. The racks 102 pass through the notches 15c so that the teeth of the racks 102 are exposed on the outside of the air guide duct of the air guide cover 15 to engage with the corresponding gears, thereby realizing the front-to-rear movement of the air outlet pipe 18 and maintaining the sealing of the air guide duct. The length of the racks 102 is sufficient to extend along the corresponding notches 15c to the rear side of the air guide duct to ensure that when the air outlet pipe 18 moves forward, the notch 15c of the air guide duct is always covered by the racks 102 to ensure the sealing of the air guide duct.

[0093] At this point, those skilled in the art should recognize that, although multiple exemplary embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described in detail herein, many other variations or modifications that conform to the principles of the present invention can still be directly determined or derived based on the content disclosed in the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of the present invention should be understood and recognized as covering all these other variations or modifications.
