[0033] The air outlet structure of the present invention can realize diffuse wind outlet by relatively arranging the air guide surface 71 on one side of the air outlet portion 11 so that the wind shielding component 70 can guide the gas flowing out of the air outlet, thereby achieving windless blowing and rapid exchange of indoor air, and can quickly improve the indoor air quality.

[0034] In specific implementation, the air guide surface 71 is arranged to be inclined relative to the flow direction of the gas flowing out of the air outlet, so as to further enhance the air dispersiveness of the air outlet structure.

[0035] In specific implementation, the air outlet 11 is an arc-shaped channel, the air guide surface 71 is an arc-shaped surface matching the arc-shaped channel, and the arc-shaped channel and the arc-shaped surface are arranged opposite to each other. Such an arrangement increases the contact area between the gas and the indoor air, so that the indoor air quality is quickly improved.

[0036] In specific implementation, the air outlet 11 is an arc-shaped channel, and the air guide surface 71 is a trumpet-shaped structure. The air guide surface 71 extends along the flow direction of the gas flowing out of the air outlet in a direction away from the center line of the air guide surface 71. The arc-shaped channel and at least part of the trumpet-shaped structure are arranged opposite to each other, so that the gas flowing out of the air outlet is dispersed and supplied under the wind guiding effect of the wind guide surface 71. Such an arrangement enables the air to be supplied in a dispersed manner, further increasing the contact area between the gas and the indoor air, and realizing rapid exchange of indoor air.

[0037] In this embodiment, if Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the windshield component 70 is movably arranged, and the windshield component 70 has a connecting portion 72, the air outlet portion 11 is arranged around the connecting portion 72, and at least part of the air outlet portion 11 is located above the connecting portion 72, and there is an avoidance gap between the air outlet portion 11 and the connecting portion 72. Such an arrangement not only realizes the connection between the windshield component 70 and the air outlet channel component 10, but also realizes the movement of the windshield component 70 relative to the air outlet channel component 10.

[0038] In this embodiment, if Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the air outlet of the air outlet portion 11 is connected to the receiving hole of the indoor unit panel 50, at least part of the wind shielding component 70 is located in the receiving hole, and an air guide channel is formed between the wind shielding component 70 and the receiving hole. The wind shielding component 70 is movably arranged to change the size of the air guide channel.

[0039] During specific implementation, the wind shield component 70 has a first position for blocking the accommodating hole and a second position for avoiding the accommodating hole. In the second position, the wind shield component 70 is fully opened, and the air outlet area is the largest at this time; in the first position, the wind shield component 70 is flush with the indoor unit panel, forming a hidden air outlet, which has a beautiful appearance and prevents dust.

[0040] In this embodiment, if Figures 3 to 6 As shown, the air outlet channel component 10 further includes an air induction portion 12, which is connected to the air outlet portion 11 and is arranged at one end of the air outlet portion 11 away from the wind shielding component 70, and one end of the air induction portion 12 away from the air outlet portion 11 is connected to the air outlet of the indoor unit of the air conditioner. Such an arrangement enables the air outlet to move along a predetermined trajectory.

[0041] In a specific implementation, the air outlet 11 is an arc-shaped channel, and at least part of the outer wall of the air induction part 12 is an arc-shaped outer wall, which is connected to at least part of the air outlet 11. Such a setting realizes arc-shaped air induction and guides the gas to the air outlet 11, reducing energy loss.

[0042] In this embodiment, if Figure 6 As shown, the air outlet channel component 10 has an air outlet channel 13, and the air outlet channel component 10 includes a first channel portion 14 and a second channel portion 15, the first channel portion 14 and the second channel portion 15 are connected to form the air outlet channel 13, and the air outlet portion 11 is located on the second channel portion 15. Such a configuration facilitates the processing and forming of the air outlet channel component 10.

[0043] During specific implementation, the first channel portion 14 and the second channel portion 15 are fixed by snapping, and further fixed by buckles.

[0044] In this embodiment, if Figure 7 As shown, the air outlet structure includes a moving component 30, at least a portion of which is connected to the wind shield component 70 and moves along the extension direction of the accommodating hole to drive the wind shield component 70 to move between a first position and a second position, so as to block the accommodating hole when the wind shield component 70 moves to the first position, and to be separated from the accommodating hole when the wind shield component 70 moves to the second position, so that the air-conditioning indoor unit can discharge air through the gap between the accommodating hole and the wind shield component 70.

[0045] In one embodiment, the air conditioner indoor unit includes a cooling and heating device and a fresh air device, and the cooling and heating device and the fresh air device are both arranged on the inner side of the indoor unit housing. The cooling and heating device is located above the fresh air device.

[0047] When the fresh air device works alone, the moving part 30 moves to fix the wind shield part 70 at a specific position. At the same time, the fresh air device starts to work to convey fresh air. The fresh air is discharged through the air outlet channel 13 of the air inlet part 12 and the air outlet of the air outlet part 11. The air guiding surface 71 of the wind shield part 70 realizes the dispersion of fresh air and increases the contact area between fresh air and indoor air. The fresh air drives the indoor flow to improve the indoor air quality.

[0048] After closing, the moving component 30 returns to its original position to hide at least part of the air outlet channel component 10 and the wind shield component 70, thereby achieving the functions of hiding the air outlet of the air outlet portion 11 and preventing dust.

[0049] In this embodiment, the air outlet principle when the whole machine is working is:

The fresh air is discharged through the air outlet channel 13 of the air inlet part 12 and the air outlet of the air outlet part 11. The air guiding surface 71 of the wind shield part 70 realizes the dispersion of fresh air and increases the contact area between the fresh air and the indoor air.

[0051] When the cooling and heating devices supply air, it drives fresh air to flow into the room, the air flow rate in the room increases, the indoor air exchange rate speeds up, and the air quality improves rapidly.

[0052] After closing, the moving component 30 returns to its original position to hide at least part of the air outlet channel component 10 and the wind shield component 70, thereby achieving the functions of hiding the air outlet of the air outlet portion 11 and preventing dust.

[0053] In this embodiment, a hidden air vent and a moving component 30 are used to supply air, so that the moving component 30 changes the position of the air outlet to achieve the purpose of rapid exchange of indoor air. At the same time, the air-conditioning wind is used to quickly drive the dispersed fresh air and mix it with the indoor air to improve the air quality, making people feel comfortable and refreshed.
