Detailed implementation manners

[0042] In order to be able to more clearly understand the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific implementation manners. It should be noted that, without conflict, the embodiments of the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0043] In the following description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may be practiced in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited by the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0044] Reference will now be made to Figures 1 to 11 describe the air conditioner 1 according to some embodiments of the present invention.

[0045] As Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown, the air conditioner 1 provided by an embodiment of the first aspect of the present invention, for example, the air conditioner 1 is an indoor unit. Further, the air conditioner 1 is a wall-mounted air conditioner. Of course, it may also be a floor-standing unit, or the air conditioner 1 is an integrated air conditioner 1, a window air conditioner, a portable air conditioner, etc.

[0046] The air conditioner 1 includes: a housing 10 and a wind-dispersing assembly 20. Specifically, the housing 10 is provided with an air outlet 11a of the air conditioner, and the wind-dispersing assembly 20 is connected to the housing 10. The wind-dispersing assembly 20 is configured to move relative to the housing 10 to close or open the air outlet 11a of the air conditioner.

[0047] It should be noted that the wind-dispersing assembly 20 has a wind-dispersing structure. The wind-dispersing structure is adapted to allow air flow to pass through and is adapted to make the passing air flow diffuse. By using the wind-dispersing structure, the air blown out via the wind-dispersing structure can be in a diffused flow mode. It can be understood that the air changes its original flow direction after passing through the wind-dispersing structure and can flow in different directions, thereby realizing the diffused flow of the air and achieving draft-free air output. For example, the wind-dispersing structure includes a wind wheel, a grille 173, micropores, etc. In a specific embodiment, the wind-dispersing structure includes a plurality of wind wheels, and the wind wheel has blades. Among them, the blades can be moving blades or stationary blades.

[0048] The air conditioner 1 provided in the above embodiment of the present invention is provided with a wind dispersion component 20 configured to move relative to the housing 10 to close or open the air outlet 11a of the air conditioner. When the wind dispersion component 20 is located at the position of closing the air outlet, it can be understood that the wind dispersion component 20 is adapted to the air outlet 11a of the air conditioner, thereby avoiding the situation where the wind dispersion component 20 protrudes from the housing 10, making the appearance of the air conditioner 1 more smooth, improving the aesthetics of the product appearance, and closing the air outlet 11a of the air conditioner by the wind dispersion component 20, compared with the existing solution of setting the air guide plate 18 to close the air outlet, the present solution omits the air guide plate 18, has a simpler structure, is more convenient to control, and is conducive to reducing the product The cost is reduced, and the wind dispersion component 20 has the functions of dispersing wind and closing the air-conditioning outlet 11a, thereby realizing multiple uses of one item. In addition, when the wind dispersion component 20 is in the position of closing the air-conditioning outlet 11a, the airflow is weakened by the wind dispersion component 20 to prevent cold air from blowing on people, thereby achieving a windless feeling and improving the user experience of the product. When the wind dispersion component 20 is in the position of opening the air-conditioning outlet 11a, the airflow is directly discharged to the environment through the air-conditioning outlet 11a, thereby increasing the exhaust volume and exhaust efficiency of the air-conditioning outlet 11a, which is conducive to realizing rapid adjustment of the ambient temperature. By controlling the movement of the wind dispersion component 20 to achieve different air outlet modes, the product can adapt to the usage needs of different users.

[0049] It is worth mentioning that Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 Schematic diagrams showing the position of the air dispersing component 20 in closing the air outlet 11a of the air conditioner, Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 Schematic diagrams are respectively shown of the position of the wind dispersion component 20 when the air-conditioning outlet 11a is opened.

[0050] In one embodiment of the present invention, Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, when the air dispersion component 20 is located at a position closing the air outlet 11a of the air conditioner, the outer surface of the air dispersion component 20 contacts a part of the housing 10, and the outer surface of the air dispersion component 20 and the outer surface of the housing 10 define the outer surface of the air conditioner 1. In this way, it is conducive to a smooth transition between the outer surface of the air dispersion component 20 and the outer surface of the housing 10, and the fit between the air dispersion component 20 and the outer surface of the housing 10 is higher, making the overall appearance of the air conditioner 1 smoother, and further improving the aesthetics of the product appearance.

[0051] In an embodiment of the present invention, the housing 10 has a front side wall 12, and an air outlet 11a of the air conditioner is provided on the front side wall 12. In this way, the structure of the housing 10 is similar to that of a traditional air conditioner housing 10, which is beneficial to reducing the modification difficulty and cost of the housing 10, and making the product more conducive to market promotion. At the same time, the front side wall 12 has a larger space compared with the end cover and the bottom wall 13, which is beneficial to increasing the area of the air outlet 11a and providing a larger movement space for the air-diffusing component 20, so that the air-diffusing component 20 can move until the air outlet 11a is completely opened, ensuring that the air outlet 11a has a sufficient air outlet area and improving the air volume and air outlet efficiency of the air outlet 11a.

[0052] For example, the housing 10 has a front side wall 12 and a bottom wall 13, and the front side wall 12 and the bottom wall 13 are transitionally connected. Among them, the air outlet 11a is located in the area of the front side wall 12 close to the bottom wall 13.

[0053] In an embodiment of the present invention, as Figure 3 shown, the housing 10 has an accommodation space 101. When the air-diffusing component 20 is in the position of opening the air outlet 11a, the air-diffusing component 20 is accommodated in the accommodation space 101. Using the housing 10 to realize the storage of the air-diffusing component 20 is beneficial to improving the aesthetic degree of the overall appearance of the air conditioner 1 when the air outlet 11a is in the open state, and effectively avoiding the risk of the outer surface of the housing 10 being scratched by the movement of the air-diffusing component 20, further ensuring the aesthetic degree of the outer surface of the housing 10.

[0054] In some embodiments, the housing 10 has a face frame 15 and a front panel 14, and the front panel 14 is provided on the face frame 15. Among them, some areas of the front panel 14 are spaced from the face frame 15, and an accommodation space 101 is defined between the front panel 14 and the face frame 15.

[0055] In an embodiment of the present invention, the housing 10 has a bottom wall 13. When the air-diffusing component 20 is in the position of closing the air outlet 11a, the air-diffusing component 20 leans against the bottom wall 13. In this way, on the one hand, the fit degree between the air-diffusing component 20 and the housing 10 is further improved, making the overall shape of the air conditioner 1 more smooth and further improving the aesthetic degree of the product appearance. On the other hand, the bottom wall 13 is used to support the air-diffusing component 20 to prevent the air-diffusing component 20 from falling off and improve the stability of the air-diffusing component 20. At the same time, the bottom wall 13 has a limiting and blocking effect on the air-diffusing component 20 to prevent the air-diffusing component 20 from moving excessively and improve the reliability of the movement of the air-diffusing component 20.

[0056] In some embodiments, the housing 10 has a front frame 15. The front frame 15 includes a front frame body 151 and a first extension portion 152. The first extension portion 152 is connected to the front frame body 151 and extends forward of the front frame body 151. The first extension portion 152 is formed as a part of the bottom wall 13. In this way, the front frame 15 has high strength and rigidity. Designing the first extension portion 152 to be formed as a part of the bottom wall 13 is beneficial to strengthening the strength and rigidity of the bottom wall 13, avoiding the situation where the bottom wall 13 is bent and deformed when the air-diffusing component 20 abuts against the bottom wall 13, improving the reliability of the bottom wall 13 and the smoothness of the appearance, and further enhancing the aesthetic degree of the overall appearance of the air conditioner 1.

[0057] In an embodiment of the present invention, as Figure 8 , Figure 9 and Figure 10 shown, an air duct 16 is formed inside the housing 10. The housing 10 has a bottom wall 13. An air outlet structure is provided in a partial area of the bottom wall 13. A part of the air flow is discharged from the housing 10 through the air duct 16 and the air outlet structure. In this way, the air outlet area of the air conditioner 1 is further increased through the air outlet structure, thereby increasing the air discharge volume and air discharge efficiency of the air conditioner 1, improving the refrigeration (heating) capacity of the air conditioner 1. Moreover, the air outlet structure is provided on the bottom wall 13. On the one hand, it is beneficial to avoid the situation where the air flow directly blows on the human body. While increasing the air outlet volume, it realizes air outlet avoiding people, improving the use experience of the product. On the other hand, the air outlet direction of the air flow discharged from the air outlet structure is more downward. In the heating working condition, it is beneficial to promote the convection of cold and hot air in the environment and improve the speed of environmental temperature rise, with a better use experience.

[0058] In some embodiments, as Figure 8 shown, the air outlet structure includes an air-diffusing component 171. An installation opening 131 is formed on the bottom wall 13. The air-diffusing component 171 is arranged on the installation opening 131. By means of the air-diffusing component 171, the air flow at the bottom side is softened to realize a draft-free feeling for the bottom side air outlet, further improving the use experience of the product. For example, the air-diffusing component 171 includes rotating blades.

[0059] In some embodiments, as Figure 9 shown, one or more through holes 172 are formed on the bottom wall 13. The one or more through holes 172 define the air outlet structure. In this way, the structure is simple, the processing is convenient, and the assembly step between the air outlet structure and the housing 10 is omitted, which is beneficial to reducing the assembly difficulty, shortening the assembly time, and reducing the cost.

[0060] In some embodiments, as Figure 10 shown, the air outlet structure includes a grille 173. An installation opening 131 is formed on the bottom wall 13. The grille 173 is arranged on the installation opening 131. In this way, the structure is simple and the processing is convenient. In some specific embodiments, the grille 173 is detachably arranged on the installation opening 131, which is convenient for cleaning and maintenance of the product.

[0061] In some embodiments, as Figure 11 shown, a wind guide plate 18 is provided inside the housing 10. The wind guide plate 18 is configured to rotate relative to the air outlet structure to adjust the flow direction of the air flow. In this way, the flow direction of the air flow can be adjusted according to different working conditions. For example, in the heating working condition, the wind guide plate 18 is controlled to rotate, and the wind guide plate 18 guides the air flow to the air outlet structure to achieve the bottom-side air outlet of the hot air flow. In the cooling working condition or the no-wind-sensation working condition, the wind guide plate 18 is controlled to rotate, and the wind guide plate 18 guides the air flow to the air conditioner air outlet 11a to achieve the front-side air outlet or the no-wind-sensation air outlet of the cold air flow. In this way, through the reasonable distribution and diversion of the gas by the wind guide plate 18, the product can adapt to different working conditions, ensuring the air outlet efficiency and air volume under each working condition.

[0062] In an embodiment of the present invention, as Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 7 shown, a transmission member 21 is provided on the air diffusing assembly 20. The transmission member 21 is configured to be connected to the driving member 40 and driven by the driving member 40; the transmission member 21 has a second extension portion 211, and a guiding groove 19 is provided on the housing 10. The second extension portion 211 extends into the guiding groove 19 and moves along the guiding groove 19. In this way, the guiding of the transmission member 21 is achieved through the guiding groove 19 to make the movement of the transmission member 21 more accurate, thereby improving the movement accuracy of the air diffusing assembly 20, effectively avoiding the displacement of the air diffusing assembly 20, promoting the better closing of the air conditioner air outlet 11a by the air diffusing assembly 20, and at the same time being beneficial to improving the fit between the air diffusing assembly 20 and the housing 10, further improving the aesthetic appearance of the product. Moreover, by guiding the transmission member 21 through the guiding groove 19, it is beneficial to reduce the jitter of the transmission member 21 during the movement process, improve the movement smoothness of the transmission member 21, and then improve the movement smoothness of the air diffusing assembly 20. For example, the transmission member 21 includes a rack, and the driving member 40 includes a motor, and the motor is connected to the rack through a gear.

[0063] In some embodiments, the housing 10 includes a front frame 15 and a panel 14. Among them, the panel 14 is provided on the front frame 15, and a part of the region of the panel 14 is distributed at intervals with the front frame 15, and a guiding groove 19 is defined between the panel 14 and the front frame 15.

[0064] In a specific embodiment, as Figures 1 to 11 shown, the air conditioner 1 includes a housing 10, an air diffusing assembly 20, a chassis, a wind wheel (such as a cross-flow wind wheel), a duct assembly, a heat exchanger 30, a wind guide plate 18, etc.

[0065] Specifically, the outer shell 10 is provided with an air outlet 11a and an air inlet 11c of the air conditioner. In some embodiments, the outer shell 10 has a back surface and an upper surface. Among them, the air inlet 11c is provided on at least one of the back surface and the upper surface of the outer shell 10 to increase the air intake area of the air conditioner 1 and ensure the air intake volume and air intake efficiency.

[0066] In some embodiments, the outer shell 10 includes an end cover and a front side wall 12. Among them, the front side wall 12 is provided with an air outlet 11a of the air conditioner, and the end cover is provided with an air outlet 11b of the air conditioner to increase the air outlet volume and enrich the air outlet angle, realize air outlet at different angles, avoid cold air blowing on people, and solve the problem of insufficient cooling capacity of the air conditioner under weak air feeling and no air feeling.

[0067] Further, the air outlet 11a of the air conditioner penetrates through the bottom of the front side wall 12.

[0068] The air diffusing component 20 is connected to the outer shell 10 and configured to move relative to the outer shell 10 to close or open the air outlet 11a of the air conditioner.

[0069] And when the air diffusing component 20 is in the position of closing the air outlet 11a of the air conditioner, the outer surface of the air diffusing component 20 is in contact with a part of the outer shell 10. The outer surface of the air diffusing component 20 and the outer surface of the outer shell 10 define the outer surface of the air conditioner 1. It is beneficial to the smooth transition between the outer surface of the air diffusing component 20 and the outer surface of the outer shell 10, and the fit degree between the outer surface of the air diffusing component 20 and the outer surface of the outer shell 10 is higher, making the overall shape of the air conditioner 1 smoother and further improving the aesthetic degree of the product appearance.

[0070] The outer shell 10 includes a panel 14 and a face frame 15. The panel 14 is located in front of the face frame 15 and is connected to the face frame 15. The face frame 15 constructs the air outlet 11a of the air conditioner, and the air outlet 11a is located below the panel 14. The face frame 15 and the panel 14 are spaced apart, and a receiving space 101 is defined between the face frame 15 and the panel 14. When the air diffusing component 20 is in the position of opening the air outlet 11a of the air conditioner, the air diffusing component 20 is received in the receiving space 101 to realize the storage of the air diffusing component 20.

[0071] Further, the face frame 15 includes a face frame body 151 and a first extension portion 152. The first extension portion 152 is connected to the face frame body 151 and extends forward of the face frame body 151. The first extension portion 152 is formed as a part of the bottom wall 13 of the outer shell 10. When the air diffusing component 20 is in the position of closing the air outlet 11a of the air conditioner, the air diffusing component 20 is leaned against the first extension portion 152, further improving the fit degree between the air diffusing component 20 and the outer shell 10, making the overall shape of the air conditioner 1 smoother and further improving the aesthetic degree of the product appearance.

[0072] In some embodiments, an air duct 16 is formed inside the housing 10. The housing 10 has a bottom wall 13, and a local area of the bottom wall 13 is provided with an air outlet structure. A part of the air flow is discharged from the housing 10 through the air duct 16 and the air outlet structure. For example, the air outlet structure includes any one or more of a grille 173, a through hole 172, and a diffuser vane. Among them, the diffuser vane can be a stationary vane or a moving vane.

[0073] Further, as Figure 11 shown, in some embodiments, when the air diffusing assembly 20 is located at a position closing the air outlet 11a of the air conditioner, the air diffusing assembly 20 and the bottom wall 13 are abutted and combined to define a cavity 50. The cavity 50 has a side opening, and the side opening is communicated with the air outlet 11b of the air conditioner. By using the bottom wall 13 and the air diffusing assembly 20 to combine to form the cavity 50, the side opening of the cavity 50 is communicated with the air outlet 11b of the air conditioner. Through the side opening and the air outlet 11b of the air conditioner, lateral air discharge of the cavity 50 can be formed, avoiding direct blowing of the front air outlet on people, realizing air outlet without wind feeling. At the same time, the overall air outlet resistance of the cavity 50 is reduced, large air volume air outlet can be realized, the cooling capacity requirement can be better met, and the matching design of the side opening and the air outlet of the air diffusing structure can ensure the air outlet effect without wind feeling, and can provide more air outlet angles, further improving the room temperature uniformity and the use experience of the product. And in this solution, the cavity 50 is formed by combining the bottom wall 13 and the air diffusing assembly 20. In this way, the switching of the air outlet mode without wind feeling can be flexibly realized by adjusting the bottom wall 13 and the air diffusing assembly 20, and the control is more convenient.

[0074] The air conditioner 1 provided in the above embodiments of the present invention is provided with an air diffusing assembly 20 configured to move relative to the housing 10 to close or open the air outlet 11a of the air conditioner. When the air diffusing assembly 20 is located at a position closing the air outlet, it can be understood that the air diffusing assembly 20 is adapted to the air outlet 11a of the air conditioner. In this way, the situation that the air diffusing assembly 20 protrudes from the housing 10 is avoided, making the appearance of the air conditioner 1 more smooth and improving the aesthetic degree of the product appearance. And by closing the air outlet 11a of the air conditioner through the air diffusing assembly 20, compared with the existing solution of setting a wind deflector 18 to close the air outlet, this solution omits the wind deflector 18, has a simpler structure and more convenient control, is beneficial to reducing the cost of the product. The air diffusing assembly 20 has both the functions of diffusing air and closing the air outlet 11a of the air conditioner, realizing multiple functions with one object. In addition, when the air diffusing assembly 20 is at a position closing the air outlet 11a of the air conditioner, the air diffusing assembly 20 is used to weaken the air flow, avoiding cold air blowing on people, realizing air outlet without wind feeling, and improving the use experience of the product. When the air diffusing assembly 20 is at a position opening the air outlet 11a of the air conditioner, the air flow is directly discharged to the environment through the air outlet 11a of the air conditioner, increasing the air discharge volume and air discharge efficiency of the air outlet 11a of the air conditioner, which is beneficial to realizing rapid adjustment of the environmental temperature. By controlling the movement of the air diffusing assembly 20 to realize different air outlet modes, the product can meet the use requirements of different users.
