Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of air conditioning equipment, and in particular, to an air conditioner, a control method for an air conditioner, and a computer-readable storage medium. Background Art

[0002] In the related art, in order to avoid direct blowing, the air conditioner is provided with a no-wind feeling mode. In the no-wind feeling mode, the whole room is in a no-wind feeling state, resulting in a problem that the refrigeration efficiency is reduced and the user's needs cannot be met. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The present invention aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art or related art.

[0004] To this end, a first aspect of the present invention provides an air conditioner.

[0005] A second aspect of the present invention provides a control method for an air conditioner.

[0006] A third aspect of the present invention provides a computer-readable storage medium.

[0007] In view of this, a first aspect of the present invention provides an air conditioner, including: a first air outlet, the air outlet including a first air outlet area and a second air outlet area; an air outlet assembly disposed at the first air outlet, the air outlet assembly including: a wind blocking member provided with a ventilation structure adapted to allow air flow through, the wind blocking member configured to block the first air outlet area; a wind dispersing assembly provided with a wind dispersing structure adapted to allow air flow through and to disperse the passing air flow, the wind dispersing assembly configured to block the second air outlet area; and a wind guiding plate disposed in the first air outlet and configured to distribute the air volume of the first air outlet area and the second air outlet area.

[0008] In this technical solution, the air conditioner is provided with a first air outlet, and the air heat-exchanged with the indoor heat exchanger is blown out through the first air outlet to achieve refrigeration or heating. An air outlet assembly is disposed at the air outlet, and the air outlet assembly includes a wind blocking member, a wind dispersing assembly, and a wind guiding plate. Among them, the wind blocking member and the wind dispersing assembly can respectively block the first air outlet area and the second air outlet area of the first air outlet, and the "no-wind feeling" air outlet is realized through the ventilation structure provided on the wind blocking member and the wind dispersing structure provided on the wind dispersing assembly.

[0009] Specifically, as the installation position and installation angle of the air conditioner are different, the positions toward which the first air outlet area and the second air outlet area face may also be different. Taking the first air outlet area facing the "lower part" of the air conditioner and the second air outlet area facing the "front part" of the air conditioner as an example, the air volume of the first air outlet can be distributed to the lower part or the front part of the air conditioner through the wind guiding plate, thereby realizing no-wind feeling air outlet or no-wind feeling front air outlet.

[0010] Among them, when the air volume is distributed to the first air outlet area, that is, when there is no wind feeling at the lower air outlet, the air volume at the lower side of the air conditioner increases, and the air volume at the front side decreases. Therefore, the human activity area in front of the air conditioner can maintain the no-wind feeling experience, and as the air volume at the lower part of the air conditioner increases, the cooling or heating effect of the air conditioner is also ensured at the same time. That is, on the premise of ensuring the no-wind feeling experience, the cooling and heating efficiency of the air conditioner is improved.

[0011] At the same time, when the air conditioner is installed at a position above the human activity area such as the head of the bed, the air volume can be distributed to the second air outlet area, that is, the no-wind feeling front air outlet. At this time, the air volume at the lower layer of the air conditioner decreases to ensure that there is no wind feeling for the human body, and the air volume at the front side increases to improve the cooling or heating efficiency of the air conditioner, thus adapting to various usage and installation scenarios and improving the usage experience of the air conditioner.

[0012] In addition, the air conditioner in the above technical solution provided by the present invention may also have the following additional technical features:

[0013] In the above technical solution, the wind blocking member includes: a first sub-wind blocking member; a second sub-wind blocking member, which is rotatably connected to the first sub-wind blocking member and is configured to move relative to the first sub-wind blocking member to open or block at least part of the first air outlet area.

[0014] In this technical solution, the wind blocking member includes a first sub-wind blocking member and a second sub-wind blocking member, wherein the second sub-wind blocking member is rotatably connected to the first sub-wind blocking member. When the second sub-wind blocking member rotates to be flush with the first sub-wind blocking member, the second sub-wind blocking member and the first sub-wind blocking member can be combined into an integral structure that matches the first air outlet area and blocks the first air outlet area. When opening the first air outlet area, the free end of the second sub-wind blocking member rotates towards the direction of the first sub-wind blocking member. At this time, the wind blocking member as a whole is folded, and the first air outlet area is opened. By connecting the first wind blocking member and the second sub-wind blocking member in a rotatable manner, it is relatively flexible and reliable when opening or closing the first air outlet area.

[0015] In any of the above technical solutions, the air conditioner has an air duct, and when the second sub-wind blocking member opens the first air outlet area, the second sub-wind blocking member is connected and transitioned with the air duct and is adapted to the surface of the air duct.

[0016] In this technical solution, an air duct is formed inside the air conditioner, and a heat exchanger and a fan are arranged in the air duct. The fan can guide the air to flow through the heat exchanger and then blow to the first air outlet through the air duct. When the first air outlet area is opened, the second sub-wind blocking plate is folded and overlapped with the surface of the air duct. At this time, the second sub-wind blocking member and the surface of the air duct cooperate to form a smooth surface, thereby reducing the wind resistance and wind noise, and making the air conditioner operate more quietly.

[0017] In any of the above technical solutions, the first air outlet further includes a third air outlet area; when the second sub-air deflector opens the first air outlet area, at least part of the first sub-air deflector and the second sub-air deflector overlap each other to form the third air outlet area.

[0018] In this technical solution, when the second sub-air deflector opens the first air outlet area, the air deflectors are substantially in a folded form. At this time, at least part of the second sub-air deflector and the first sub-air deflector overlap in the vertical direction. At this time, part of the air flow first passes through the ventilation structure on the second sub-air deflector and then blows out through the ventilation structure on the first sub-air deflector. Therefore, the energy of the air flow blown out through the third air outlet area is very low, and there is no direct blowing feeling. And by changing the part of the air outlet, the overall air volume of the air conditioner is further increased. On the premise of ensuring the no-wind feeling experience, the cooling or heating efficiency of the air conditioner is ensured.

[0019] In any of the above technical solutions, the ventilation structure includes ventilation holes.

[0020] In this technical solution, the ventilation structure on the air deflector includes ventilation holes. The ventilation holes can be set in multiple numbers. When the air flow passes through the air deflector, the overall air flow is divided into multiple disordered small air flows by the multiple ventilation holes, thereby reducing the energy of the air flow. On the one hand, the direct blowing feeling of the air flow is reduced to achieve a no-wind feeling. On the other hand, the disordered small air flows can simulate natural wind and improve the use experience of the air conditioner.

[0021] In any of the above technical solutions, a part of the ventilation holes are first ventilation holes and are arranged on the first sub-air deflector, and another part of the ventilation holes are second ventilation holes and are arranged on the second sub-air deflector. The inclination angle of the axis of at least part of the first ventilation holes relative to the plumb line is greater than or equal to the inclination angle of the axis of at least part of the second ventilation holes relative to the plumb line.

[0022] In this technical solution, the first ventilation holes are arranged on the first sub-air deflector, and the second ventilation holes are arranged on the second sub-air deflector. The inclination angle of the axis of the first ventilation holes relative to the plumb line is different from the inclination angle of the axis of the second ventilation holes relative to the plumb line. Therefore, the flow directions of the multiple small air flows divided by the ventilation holes are also different, which improves the disorder degree of the small air flows and further improves the effect of the no-wind feeling.

[0023] In any of the above technical solutions, the range of the inclination angle of the axis of at least part of the first ventilation holes relative to the plumb line is: greater than or equal to 0° and less than or equal to 30°; the range of the inclination angle of the axis of at least part of the second ventilation holes relative to the plumb line is: greater than or equal to 0° and less than or equal to 15°.

[0024] In this technical solution, the inclination angle of the axis of the first ventilation hole relative to the plumb line is set between 0° and 30°, and the inclination angle of the second ventilation hole relative to the plumb line is set between 0° and 15°. This can avoid the generation of "whistling" sounds when the air flow passes through the ventilation holes while ensuring a draft-free experience, further improving the quietness of the air conditioner and enhancing the user experience of the air conditioner.

[0025] In any of the above technical solutions, the air conditioner has a housing, and a storage bin is provided on the housing; when the air diffuser assembly opens the second air outlet area, the air diffuser assembly is stored in the storage bin.

[0026] In this technical solution, a storage bin is provided on the housing of the air conditioner. When the air diffuser assembly opens the second air outlet area, the air diffuser assembly is stored in the storage bin. On the one hand, it ensures the overall aesthetics of the air conditioner, and on the other hand, it ensures that the air diffusing structure on the air diffuser assembly will not be damaged by external forces, improving the reliability of the air conditioner.

[0027] In some embodiments, the housing includes a housing body, and a wind shield is provided on the housing body. When the wind shield blocks the first air outlet, the wind shield is combined with the housing body and forms a part of the housing.

[0028] In any of the above technical solutions, the housing has a front side wall, a lower side wall, a left end cover, and a right end cover; a first air outlet is formed at the transition position between the front side wall and the lower side wall of the housing, and second air outlets are respectively formed on the left end cover and the right end cover.

[0029] In this technical solution, the first air outlet of the air conditioner specifically faces the "front lower" side of the air conditioner, so that the air output of the air conditioner can cover the entire room as much as possible, improving the cooling or heating efficiency of the air conditioner. At the same time, second air outlets are also provided on the left and right sides of the air conditioner. The second air outlets can achieve "side air output". On the premise of ensuring that the air does not blow directly on the human body, that is, ensuring the draft-free effect, the air output of the air conditioner is increased to improve the cooling or heating efficiency of the air conditioner.

[0030] In any of the above technical solutions, the air output direction of the first air outlet area faces the direction corresponding to the lower side wall, and the air output direction of the second air outlet area faces the direction corresponding to the front side wall.

[0031] In this technical solution, the air output direction of the first air outlet area faces the direction corresponding to the lower side wall, that is, downward of the air conditioner, and the air output direction of the second air outlet area faces the direction corresponding to the front side wall, that is, forward of the air conditioner. By adjusting the air output of the first air outlet area and the second air outlet area, on the premise of ensuring that the air does not blow directly on the human body and achieving a draft-free effect, the overall air output of the air conditioner can be increased to improve the cooling or heating efficiency of the air conditioner.

[0032] In any of the above technical solutions, the air conditioner further includes: a first driving member configured to drive the second sub-air deflector to move to open or block at least part of the first air outlet area; a second driving member configured to drive the air diffusing assembly to move relative to the first air outlet to open or block the second air outlet area; a third driving member configured to drive the air guide plate to rotate to adjust the air volume distribution between the first air outlet area and the second air outlet area; a controller connected to the first driving member, the second driving member and the third driving member, and configured to control the movement of the air deflector, the air diffusing assembly and the air guide plate so that the air outlet assembly changes its shape.

[0033] In this technical solution, the first driving member, the second driving member and the third driving member respectively drive the air deflector, the air diffusing assembly and the air guide plate, and the controller controls the first driving member, the second driving member and the third driving member to work, so that the air deflector, the air diffusing assembly and the air guide plate move to different states, thereby constituting different shapes of the air outlet assembly. In different shapes, the air outlet assembly can switch between normal cooling, heating or air supply modes, and can also change the air outlet direction, such as downward air outlet or front air outlet, to meet the requirements of different usage scenarios.

[0034] In any of the above technical solutions, the air conditioner further includes: a communication interface connected to the controller and configured to receive control instructions; the controller controls the air outlet assembly to change its shape according to the control instructions and / or the operating state of the air conditioner.

[0035] In this technical solution, the communication interface can be a wireless communication interface, such as Bluetooth connection, infrared connection or WiFi (wireless communication standard developed by the Wi-Fi Alliance) connection, etc., or a wired data connection, such as RS232, etc. The controller controls the air outlet assembly to change its shape according to the received control instructions and the operating state of the air conditioner to adapt to various usage scenarios.

[0036] In any of the above technical solutions, the air outlet assembly has a first shape, and when the air outlet assembly switches to the first shape, the air deflector opens the first air outlet area, the air diffusing assembly opens the second air outlet area, and the air guide plate makes the air volume of the second air outlet area greater than that of the first air outlet area.

[0037] In this technical solution, the first shape of the air outlet assembly is applicable to the general cooling mode. In the first shape, both the first air outlet area and the second air outlet area of the first air outlet are opened, and the air conditioner mainly blows air forward to increase the air supply distance. In this shape, the air conditioner can reduce the room temperature at the fastest speed and achieve rapid cooling.

[0038] In any of the above technical solutions, the air outlet assembly has a second form. When the air outlet assembly switches to the second form, the wind shield opens the first air outlet area, the air diffusing assembly opens the second air outlet area, and the air deflector makes the air volume of the first air outlet area greater than that of the second air outlet area.

[0039] In this technical solution, the second form of the air outlet assembly is applicable to the general heating mode. In the second form, both the first air outlet area and the second air outlet area of the first air outlet are opened, and the air conditioner mainly blows air downward. Since hot air has the property of rising, sending the hot air to lower places as much as possible can effectively make the distribution of hot air in the room more uniform, prevent the situation where hot air accumulates on the ceiling while the lower part of the room is still occupied by cold air, and thus ensure the overall heating effect of the room.

[0040] In any of the above technical solutions, the air outlet assembly has a third form. When the air outlet assembly switches to the third form, the wind shield blocks the first air outlet area, the air diffusing assembly blocks the second air outlet area, and the air deflector makes the air volume of the second air outlet area greater than that of the first air outlet area.

[0041] In this technical solution, the third form of the air outlet assembly is applicable to the front air outlet mode of the wind-free feeling mode (in the cooling or heating mode). In this form, the front side and the lower side of the first air outlet are blocked by the air diffusing assembly and the wind shield respectively. Therefore, the air flow will be divided and disrupted into multiple disordered small air flows under the action of the air diffusing assembly and the wind shield. On the one hand, it reduces the energy of the air flow and prevents the air flow from blowing directly at the human body at high speed. On the other hand, the disordered small air flows can simulate natural wind and improve the use experience of the air conditioner.

[0042] At the same time, by mainly distributing the air volume to the second air outlet area, that is, in front of the air conditioner, it is possible to increase the wind-free feeling effect at the lower part of the air conditioner while increasing the overall air volume of the air conditioner, thereby improving the cooling or heating efficiency of the air conditioner.

[0043] In any of the above technical solutions, the air outlet assembly has a fourth form. When the air outlet assembly switches to the fourth form, the wind shield blocks the first air outlet area, the air diffusing assembly blocks the second air outlet area, and the air deflector makes the air volume of the first air outlet area greater than that of the second air outlet area.

[0044] In this technical solution, the fourth form of the air outlet assembly is applicable to the lower air outlet mode of the wind-free feeling mode (in the cooling or heating mode). In this form, the front side and the lower side of the first air outlet are blocked by the air diffusing assembly and the wind shield respectively. Therefore, the air flow will be divided and disrupted into multiple disordered small air flows under the action of the air diffusing assembly and the wind shield. On the one hand, it reduces the energy of the air flow and prevents the air flow from blowing directly at the human body at high speed. On the other hand, the disordered small air flows can simulate natural wind and improve the use experience of the air conditioner.

[0045] Meanwhile, mainly distribute the air volume to the first air outlet area, that is, in front of the air conditioner. In this way, while increasing the windless feeling effect in the front part of the air conditioner, the overall air volume of the air conditioner can be increased, thereby improving the cooling or heating efficiency of the air conditioner.

[0046] The second aspect of the present invention provides a control method for an air conditioner, which is used to control the air conditioner provided in any of the above technical solutions. The control method includes: receiving a control instruction and determining the operating mode of the air conditioner; controlling the air outlet component of the air conditioner to switch its form according to the control instruction and / or the operating mode.

[0047] In this technical solution, the form of the air outlet component of the air conditioner is controlled according to the received control instruction and the operating mode of the air conditioner. In different forms, the air outlet component can realize the switching between normal cooling, heating or air supply modes, and can also change the air outlet direction, such as downward air outlet or front air outlet, so as to meet the requirements of different usage scenarios.

[0048] In the above technical solution, the operating mode includes a cooling mode. When it is determined that the operating mode is the cooling mode, the steps of controlling the air outlet component of the air conditioner to switch its form specifically include: controlling the wind deflector to open the first air outlet area, controlling the air diffusing component to open the second air outlet area, and controlling the air guide plate to make the air volume of the second air outlet area greater than that of the first air outlet area, so as to switch the air outlet component to the first form.

[0049] In this technical solution, when it is determined that the operating mode is the cooling mode, the air outlet component is controlled to switch to the first form. In the first form, both the first air outlet area and the second air outlet area of the first air outlet are opened, and the air conditioner mainly blows air forward to increase the air supply distance. In this form, the air conditioner can reduce the room temperature at the fastest speed and achieve rapid cooling.

[0050] In any of the above technical solutions, the operating mode includes a heating mode. When it is determined that the operating mode is the heating mode, the steps of controlling the air outlet component of the air conditioner to switch its form specifically include: controlling the wind deflector to open the first air outlet area, controlling the air diffusing component to open the second air outlet area, and controlling the air guide plate to make the air volume of the first air outlet area greater than that of the second air outlet area, so as to switch the air outlet component to the second form.

[0051] In this technical solution, when it is determined that the operating mode is the heating mode, the air outlet component is controlled to switch to the second form. In the second form, both the first air outlet area and the second air outlet area of the first air outlet are opened, and the air conditioner mainly blows air downward. Since hot air has the property of floating, sending the hot air to lower places as much as possible can effectively make the distribution of hot air in the room more uniform, prevent the situation that hot air accumulates on the ceiling while the lower part of the room is still occupied by cold air, and thus ensure the overall heating effect of the room.

[0052] In any of the above technical solutions, the control instruction includes a first windless feeling control instruction. When it is determined that the operating mode is the cooling mode and the control instruction is the first windless feeling control instruction, the steps of controlling the air outlet assembly of the air conditioner to switch its form specifically include: controlling the wind shield to block the first air outlet area, controlling the air diffusing assembly to block the second air outlet area, and controlling the air deflector to make the air volume of the second air outlet area greater than that of the first air outlet area, so as to switch the air outlet assembly to the third form.

[0053] In this technical solution, when the air conditioner receives the first windless feeling control instruction in the cooling mode, specifically the windless feeling front air outlet instruction, it controls the air outlet assembly to enter the third form. In the third form, the front side and the lower side of the first air outlet are respectively blocked by the air diffusing assembly and the wind shield. Therefore, the air flow will be divided and disrupted into multiple disordered small air flows under the action of the air diffusing assembly and the wind shield. On the one hand, it reduces the energy of the air flow and prevents the air flow from blowing directly at the human body at high speed. On the other hand, the disordered small air flows can simulate natural wind and improve the use experience of the air conditioner.

[0054] At the same time, the air volume is mainly distributed to the second air outlet area, that is, in front of the air conditioner. It can increase the overall air volume of the air conditioner while increasing the windless feeling effect at the lower part of the air conditioner, and then improve the cooling or heating efficiency of the air conditioner.

[0055] In any of the above technical solutions, the control instruction includes a second windless feeling control instruction. When it is determined that the operating mode is the cooling mode and the control instruction is the second windless feeling control instruction, the steps of controlling the air outlet assembly of the air conditioner to switch its form specifically include: controlling the wind shield to block the first air outlet area, controlling the air diffusing assembly to block the second air outlet area, and controlling the air deflector to make the air volume of the first air outlet area greater than that of the second air outlet area, so as to switch the air outlet assembly to the fourth form.

[0056] In this technical solution, when the air conditioner receives the second windless feeling control instruction in the cooling mode, specifically the windless feeling lower side air outlet instruction, it controls the air outlet assembly to enter the fourth form. In the fourth form, the front side and the lower side of the first air outlet are respectively blocked by the air diffusing assembly and the wind shield. Therefore, the air flow will be divided and disrupted into multiple disordered small air flows under the action of the air diffusing assembly and the wind shield. On the one hand, it reduces the energy of the air flow and prevents the air flow from blowing directly at the human body at high speed. On the other hand, the disordered small air flows can simulate natural wind and improve the use experience of the air conditioner.

[0057] At the same time, the air volume is mainly distributed to the first air outlet area, that is, in front of the air conditioner. It can increase the overall air volume of the air conditioner while increasing the windless feeling effect at the front part of the air conditioner, and then improve the cooling or heating efficiency of the air conditioner.

[0058] In any of the above technical solutions, the air outlet assembly includes a wind blocking member, a wind dispersing assembly, and a wind guiding plate. The air conditioner is further provided with a first driving member for driving the wind blocking member, a second driving member for driving the wind dispersing assembly, and a third driving member for driving the wind guiding plate. The steps of controlling the wind blocking member to open the first air outlet area, controlling the wind dispersing assembly to open the second air outlet area, and controlling the wind guiding plate to make the air volume of the first air outlet area greater than that of the second air outlet area so as to switch the air outlet assembly to the second form specifically include: controlling the second driving member to rotate a first rotation angle along a first rotation direction, controlling the first driving member to rotate a second rotation angle along the first rotation direction, and controlling the third driving member to rotate a third rotation angle along a second rotation direction; The steps of controlling the wind blocking member to open the first air outlet area, controlling the wind dispersing assembly to open the second air outlet area, and controlling the wind guiding plate to make the air volume of the first air outlet area greater than that of the second air outlet area specifically include: controlling the second driving member to rotate a first rotation angle along a first rotation direction, controlling the first driving member to rotate a second rotation angle along the first rotation direction, and controlling the third driving member to rotate a fourth rotation angle along the first rotation direction; The steps of controlling the wind blocking member to block the first air outlet area, controlling the wind dispersing assembly to block the second air outlet area, and controlling the wind guiding plate to make the air volume of the second air outlet area greater than that of the first air outlet area specifically include: controlling the second driving member to rotate a first rotation angle along a first rotation direction, controlling the first driving member to rotate a second rotation angle along the first rotation direction, and controlling the third driving member to rotate a fifth rotation angle along the first rotation direction; The steps of controlling the wind blocking member to block the first air outlet area, controlling the wind dispersing assembly to block the second air outlet area, and controlling the wind guiding plate to make the air volume of the first air outlet area greater than that of the second air outlet area specifically include: controlling the second driving member to rotate a first rotation angle along a first rotation direction, controlling the first driving member to rotate a second rotation angle along the first rotation direction, and controlling the third driving member to rotate a sixth rotation angle along the first rotation direction; wherein, the first rotation direction is opposite to the second rotation direction.

[0059] In this technical solution, the air outlet assembly includes a wind blocking member, a wind dispersing assembly, and a wind guiding plate. The air conditioner is further provided with a first driving member for driving the wind blocking member, a second driving member for driving the wind dispersing assembly, and a third driving member for driving the wind guiding plate. The first driving member, the second driving member, and the third driving member are respectively used to drive the wind blocking member, the wind dispersing assembly, and the wind guiding plate, and the controller is used to control the first driving member, the second driving member, and the third driving member to work so that the wind blocking member, the wind dispersing assembly, and the wind guiding plate move to different states, thereby constituting different forms of the air outlet assembly.

[0060] Specifically, the first rotation direction can be counterclockwise, and the corresponding second rotation direction can be clockwise. The first rotation angle, the second rotation angle, and the third rotation angle can be specifically adjusted according to the transmission ratio of the corresponding driving component. When the air conditioner operates in the cooling mode, the air outlet component is controlled to switch to the first form. In the first form, both the first air outlet area and the second air outlet area of the first air outlet are opened, and the air conditioner mainly blows air forward to increase the air supply distance. In this form, the air conditioner can reduce the room temperature at the fastest speed to achieve rapid cooling.

[0061] Among them, the fourth rotation angle, the fifth rotation angle, and the sixth rotation angle can be specifically adjusted according to the transmission ratio of the corresponding driving component.

[0062] In any of the above technical solutions, when it is determined that the operating mode is the heating mode and the control instruction is the first windless feeling control instruction, the steps of controlling the air outlet component of the air conditioner to switch forms specifically include: controlling the second driving component to rotate a first rotation angle along the first rotation direction, controlling the first driving component to rotate a second rotation angle along the first rotation direction, and controlling the third driving component to rotate a seventh rotation angle along the first rotation direction; where the seventh rotation angle is equal to the sum of the fourth rotation angle and the third rotation angle minus the sixth rotation angle.

[0063] In this technical solution, when the air conditioner receives the first windless feeling instruction in the heating mode, the wind deflector and the air diffusing component are controlled to block the first air outlet area and the second air outlet area respectively. At this time, the third driving component is controlled to rotate counterclockwise by a seventh rotation angle, and the seventh rotation angle is specifically determined according to the sum of the fourth rotation angle and the third rotation angle minus the sixth rotation angle. In this state, the air conditioner mainly conveys hot air downward while ensuring a windless feeling.

[0064] In any of the above technical solutions, when it is determined that the operating mode is the heating mode and the control instruction is the second windless feeling control instruction, the steps of controlling the air outlet component of the air conditioner to switch forms specifically include: controlling the second driving component to rotate a first rotation angle along the first rotation direction, controlling the first driving component to rotate a second rotation angle along the first rotation direction, and controlling the third driving component not to act.

[0065] In this technical solution, when the air conditioner receives the second windless feeling instruction in the heating mode, the wind deflector and the air diffusing component are controlled to block the first air outlet area and the second air outlet area respectively. At this time, the third driving component is controlled not to act. In this state, the air conditioner mainly conveys hot air forward while ensuring a windless feeling.

[0066] In any of the above technical solutions, the steps of determining the operating mode as the air supply mode and controlling the air outlet assembly of the air conditioner to switch its form specifically include: controlling the second driving member to rotate a first rotation angle along a first rotation direction, controlling the first driving member to rotate a second rotation angle along the first rotation direction, and controlling the third driving member to rotate an eighth rotation angle along a second rotation direction.

[0067] In this technical solution, if the air conditioner operates in the air supply mode, then control the wind deflector and the air diffusing assembly to open the first air outlet area and the second air outlet area, and at the same time control the air guide plate to rotate to the air supply angle. Among them, the eighth rotation angle can be specifically adjusted according to the transmission ratio of the corresponding driving member. In the air supply mode, the air volume of the air conditioner can cover most of the room.

[0068] In any of the above technical solutions, the air conditioner further includes a swing blade and a fourth driving member, and the fourth driving member is configured to be suitable for driving the swing blade to swing along the extending direction of the first air outlet; and when it is determined that the control instruction is a first sweeping instruction, the control method further includes: after controlling the fourth driving member to rotate a ninth rotation angle along the second rotation direction, controlling the fourth driving member to rotate a ninth rotation angle along the first rotation direction, and repeating this reciprocally; when it is determined that the control instruction is a second sweeping instruction, the control method further includes: after controlling the third driving member to rotate a tenth rotation angle along the second rotation direction, controlling the third driving member to rotate a tenth rotation angle along the first rotation direction, and repeating this reciprocally.

[0069] In this technical solution, the air conditioner includes a swing blade, and the swing blade can swing along the extending direction of the first air outlet under the drive of the fourth driving member, specifically manifested as swinging left and right to achieve left and right air sweeping. Specifically, when receiving the first sweeping instruction, specifically the left and right air sweeping instruction, the fourth driving member first rotates a ninth rotation angle along the first rotation direction, that is, counterclockwise, and then rotates a ninth rotation angle clockwise, and repeats the above steps to achieve left and right air sweeping.

[0070] If receiving the second sweeping instruction, specifically the up and down air sweeping instruction, then control the third driving member to rotate a tenth rotation angle clockwise, and then control the third driving member to rotate a tenth rotation angle counterclockwise, and repeat the above steps to achieve up and down air sweeping.

[0071] In any of the above technical solutions, the air conditioner further includes a blower, and the control method further includes: determining that the operating mode is the cooling mode and controlling the blower to operate at a first rotational speed; determining that the control instruction is a first no-wind feeling control instruction or a second no-wind feeling control instruction and controlling the blower to operate at a second rotational speed; determining that the operating mode is the heating mode and controlling the blower to operate at a third rotational speed; determining that the operating mode is the air supply mode and controlling the blower to operate at a fourth rotational speed; where the first rotational speed is greater than the second rotational speed.

[0072] In this technical solution, the air conditioner includes a blower. When the air conditioner operates in the cooling mode, the blower operates at a first transfer speed. If a windless feeling control instruction is received, the rotation speed of the blower is controlled to decrease to a second speed to ensure the windless feeling effect. If the air conditioner operates in the heating mode, the blower is controlled to operate at a third speed. If the air conditioner operates in the air supply mode, the blower is controlled to operate at a fourth speed to achieve different air supply effects.

[0090] Embodiment 1

[0091] As Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown, in an embodiment of the present invention, an air conditioner is provided, which includes a first air outlet 100, the air outlet includes a first air outlet area 102 and a second air outlet area 104; an air outlet assembly 200 is disposed at the first air outlet 100, and the air outlet assembly 200 includes: a windshield 202, a ventilation structure adapted to allow air flow to pass through is provided on the windshield 202, and the windshield 202 is configured to be adapted to block the first air outlet area 102; an air diffusing assembly 204, a diffusing structure adapted to allow air flow to pass through and adapted to make the passing air flow diffuse is formed on the air diffusing assembly 204, and the air diffusing assembly 204 is configured to be adapted to block the second air outlet area 104; an air deflector 206 is disposed in the first air outlet 100 and is configured to distribute the air volume of the first air outlet area 102 and the second air outlet area 104.

[0092] Among them, the wind shield 202 includes: a first sub-wind shield 2022; a second sub-wind shield 2024, which is rotatably connected to the first sub-wind shield 2022 and is configured to move relative to the first sub-wind shield 2022 to open or block at least part of the first air outlet area 102.

[0093] The air conditioner has an air duct, and when the second sub-wind shield 2024 opens the first air outlet area 102, the second sub-wind shield 2024 is connected and transitioned to the air duct and is adapted to the surface of the air duct.

[0094] The first air outlet further includes a third air outlet area; when the second sub-wind shield 2024 opens the first air outlet area 102, at least part of the first sub-wind shield 2022 and the second sub-wind shield 2024 overlap to form the third air outlet area.

[0095] The ventilation structure includes ventilation holes. Part of the ventilation holes are first ventilation holes and are arranged on the first sub-wind shield 2022, and another part of the ventilation holes are second ventilation holes and are arranged on the second sub-wind shield 2024. The inclination angle of at least part of the axes of the first ventilation holes relative to the vertical line is greater than or equal to the inclination angle of at least part of the axes of the second ventilation holes relative to the vertical line.

[0096] The inclination angle of at least part of the axes of the first ventilation holes relative to the vertical line ( Figure 4 the angle β shown) ranges from: greater than or equal to 0°, and less than or equal to 30°; the inclination angle of at least part of the axes of the second ventilation holes relative to the vertical line ( Figure 4 the angle α shown) ranges from: greater than or equal to 0°, and less than or equal to 15°.

[0097] The air conditioner has a housing 300, and a storage bin 302 is arranged on the housing 300; when the air diffusing assembly 204 opens the second air outlet area 104, the air diffusing assembly 204 is stored in the storage bin 302.

[0098] The housing 300 has a front side wall 304, a lower side wall, a left end cover 306 and a right end cover 308; a first air outlet 100 is formed at the transition position between the front side wall 304 of the housing and the lower side wall of the housing, and second air outlets 310 are respectively formed on the left end cover 306 and the right end cover 308.

[0099] Among them, the housing further includes an upper side wall, and an air inlet 312 is arranged on the upper side wall.

[0100] The air outlet direction of the first air outlet area 102 faces the direction corresponding to the lower side wall, and the air outlet direction of the second air outlet area 104 faces the direction corresponding to the front side wall 304.

[0101] In this embodiment, the air conditioner is provided with a first air outlet 100, and the air heat-exchanged with the indoor heat exchanger is blown out through the first air outlet 100 to achieve refrigeration or heating. An air outlet assembly 200 is arranged at the air outlet, and the air outlet assembly 200 includes a wind blocking member 202, a wind dispersing assembly 204 and a wind guiding plate 206. The wind blocking member 202 and the wind dispersing assembly 204 can respectively block the first air outlet area 102 and the second air outlet area 104 of the first air outlet 100, and achieve "windless feeling" air outlet through the ventilation structure arranged on the wind blocking member 202 and the wind dispersing structure arranged on the wind dispersing assembly 204.

[0102] Among them, the definition of "windless feeling" is as follows: within the range of 2.5 meters to 3 meters from the air outlet of the air conditioner, the average wind speed is lower than 0.1 m / s, or when the DR (air output ratio) value ranges from 5 to 20 at a distance of 2.5 meters or less from the air outlet, it is determined that there is "windless feeling" at this time.

[0103] The wind blocking member 202 includes a first sub-wind blocking member 2022 and a second sub-wind blocking member 2024. The second sub-wind blocking member 2024 is rotatably connected to the first sub-wind blocking member 2022. When the second sub-wind blocking member 2024 rotates to be flush with the first sub-wind blocking member 2022, the second sub-wind blocking member 2024 and the first sub-wind blocking member 2022 can be combined into an integral structure matching the first air outlet area 102 and block the first air outlet area 102. When the first air outlet area 102 is opened, the free end of the second sub-wind blocking member 2024 rotates towards the direction of the first sub-wind blocking member 2022. At this time, the wind blocking member 202 is folded as a whole, and the first air outlet area 102 is opened. By connecting the first wind blocking member 202 and the second sub-wind blocking member 2024 in a rotatable manner, it is relatively flexible and has high reliability when opening or closing the first air outlet area 102.

[0104] An air duct is formed inside the air conditioner, and a heat exchanger 500 and a fan 400 are arranged in the air duct. The fan 400 can guide the air to flow through the heat exchanger 500 and then blow it to the first air outlet 100 through the air duct. When the first air outlet area 102 is opened, the second sub-wind deflector is folded and overlaps with the surface of the air duct. At this time, the second sub-wind blocking member 2024 and the surface of the air duct cooperate to form a smooth surface, thereby reducing wind resistance and wind noise, and making the air conditioner operate more quietly.

[0105] When the second sub - wind deflector 2024 opens the first air outlet area 102, the wind deflector 202 is substantially in a folded form. At this time, at least part of the second sub - wind deflector 2024 and the first sub - wind deflector 2022 overlap in the vertical direction. At this time, part of the air flow first passes through the ventilation structure on the second sub - wind deflector 2024 and then blows out through the ventilation structure on the first sub - wind deflector 2022. Therefore, the energy of the air flow blown out through the third air outlet area is very low, and there is no direct - blowing feeling. And by changing the part of the air outlet, the overall air volume of the air conditioner is further increased. On the premise of ensuring the no - wind - feeling experience, the cooling or heating efficiency of the air conditioner is ensured.

[0106] The ventilation structure on the wind deflector 202 includes ventilation holes. The ventilation holes can be set to be multiple. When the air flow passes through the wind deflector 202, the overall air flow is divided into multiple disordered small air flows by the multiple ventilation holes, thereby reducing the energy of the air flow. On the one hand, it reduces the direct - blowing feeling of the air flow and realizes the no - wind - feeling. On the other hand, the disordered small air flows can simulate natural wind and improve the use experience of the air conditioner.

[0107] The first sub - wind deflector 2022 is provided with first ventilation holes, and the second sub - wind deflector 2024 is provided with second ventilation holes. The inclination angle of the axis of the first ventilation hole relative to the plumb line is different from the inclination angle of the axis of the second ventilation hole relative to the plumb line. Therefore, the flow directions of the multiple small air flows divided by the ventilation holes are also different, which improves the degree of disorder of the small air flows and further improves the no - wind - feeling effect.

[0108] The inclination angle of the axis of the first ventilation hole relative to the plumb line is set between 0° and 30°, and the inclination angle of the second ventilation hole relative to the plumb line is set between 0° and 15°. It can avoid the generation of "whistling" sound when the air flow passes through the ventilation holes on the premise of ensuring the no - wind - feeling experience, further improve the silence of the air conditioner, and improve the use experience of the air conditioner.

[0109] The housing 300 of the air conditioner is provided with a storage bin 302. When the air - diffusing component 204 opens the second air outlet area 104, the air - diffusing component 204 is stored in the storage bin 302. On the one hand, it ensures the overall beauty of the air conditioner. On the other hand, it ensures that the air - diffusing structure on the air - diffusing component 204 will not be damaged by external forces and improves the reliability of the air conditioner.

[0110] The first air outlet 100 of the air conditioner specifically faces the "front - lower" side of the air conditioner, so that the air outlet of the air conditioner can cover the whole room as much as possible, improving the cooling or heating efficiency of the air conditioner. At the same time, second air outlets 310 are also provided on the left and right sides of the air conditioner. The second air outlets 310 can realize "side air outlet". On the premise of ensuring that the air does not directly blow on the human body, that is, ensuring the no - wind - feeling effect, the air volume of the air conditioner is increased to improve the cooling or heating efficiency of the air conditioner.

[0111] The air outlet direction of the first air outlet area 102 faces the direction corresponding to the lower side wall and the lower part of the air conditioner, and the air outlet direction of the second air outlet area 104 faces the direction corresponding to the front side wall 304, that is, the front of the air conditioner. By adjusting the air volume of the first air outlet area 102 and the second air outlet area 104, it is possible to increase the overall air volume of the air conditioner and improve the cooling or heating efficiency of the air conditioner on the premise of ensuring that the air does not directly blow on the human body and achieving a draft-free feeling.

[0112] Specifically, as the installation position and installation angle of the air conditioner are different, the positions faced by the first air outlet area 102 and the second air outlet area 104 may also be different. Taking the first air outlet area 102 facing the "lower part" of the air conditioner and the second air outlet area 104 facing the "front" of the air conditioner as an example, the air guide plate 206 can distribute the air volume of the first air outlet 100 to the lower part or the front of the air conditioner, thereby realizing draft-free air outlet or draft-free front air outlet.

[0113] Among them, when the air volume is distributed to the first air outlet area 102, that is, draft-free air outlet, the air volume on the lower side of the air conditioner increases, and the air volume on the front side decreases. Therefore, the human activity area in front of the air conditioner can maintain a draft-free experience, and as the air volume on the lower side of the air conditioner increases, the cooling or heating effect of the air conditioner is also ensured at the same time, that is, on the premise of ensuring the draft-free experience, the cooling and heating efficiency of the air conditioner is improved.

[0114] In some embodiments, the housing includes a housing body, and the wind shield is arranged on the housing body. When the wind shield blocks the first air outlet, the wind shield is combined with the housing body and forms a part of the housing.

[0115] At the same time, when the air conditioner is installed at a position above the human activity area such as the head of the bed, the air volume can be distributed to the second air outlet area 104, that is, draft-free front air outlet. At this time, the air volume on the lower layer of the air conditioner decreases, ensuring a draft-free feeling for the human body, and the air volume on the front side increases, improving the cooling or heating efficiency of the air conditioner, thereby adapting to various usage and installation scenarios and improving the usage experience of the air conditioner.

[0116] Embodiment 2

[0117] Such as Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, in an embodiment of the present invention, the air conditioner further includes: a first driving member 208 configured to drive the second sub-air deflector 2024 to move to open or block at least a part of the first air outlet area 102; a second driving member 210 configured to drive the air diffusing assembly 204 to move relative to the first air outlet 100 to open or block the second air outlet area 104; a third driving member 212 configured to drive the air guide plate 206 to rotate to adjust the air volume distribution between the first air outlet area 102 and the second air outlet area 104; a controller connected to the first driving member 208, the second driving member 210, and the third driving member 212, and the controller is configured to control the movement of the air deflector 202, the air diffusing assembly 204, and the air guide plate 206 so that the air outlet assembly 200 changes its form.

[0118] The air conditioner further includes: a communication interface connected to the controller and configured to receive control instructions; the controller controls the air outlet assembly 200 to change its form according to the control instructions and / or the operating state of the air conditioner.

[0119] In this embodiment, the first driving member 208, the second driving member 210, and the third driving member 212 respectively drive the air deflector 202, the air diffusing assembly 204, and the air guide plate 206, and the controller controls the first driving member 208, the second driving member 210, and the third driving member 212 to work, so that the air deflector 202, the air diffusing assembly 204, and the air guide plate 206 move to different states, thereby constituting different forms of the air outlet assembly 200. In different forms, the air outlet assembly 200 can switch between normal refrigeration, heating, or air supply modes, and can also change the air outlet direction, such as downward air outlet or front air outlet, to meet the needs of different usage scenarios.

[0120] Among them, the communication interface can be a wireless communication interface, such as Bluetooth connection, infrared connection, or WiFi (a wireless communication standard developed by the Wi-Fi Alliance) connection, etc., or a wired data connection, such as RS232, etc. The controller controls the air outlet assembly 200 to change its form according to the received control instructions and the operating state of the air conditioner to adapt to various usage scenarios.

[0121] Embodiment Three

[0122] As Figure 5 shown, in an embodiment of the present invention, the air outlet assembly 200 has a first form, and when the air outlet assembly 200 switches to the first form, the air deflector 202 opens the first air outlet area 102, the air diffusing assembly 204 opens the second air outlet area 104, and the air guide plate 206 makes the air volume of the second air outlet area 104 greater than that of the first air outlet area 102.

[0123] As Figure 6As shown, the air outlet assembly 200 has a second form. When the air outlet assembly 200 switches to the second form, the wind deflector 202 opens the first air outlet area 102, the air diffusing assembly 204 opens the second air outlet area 104, and the air guide plate 206 makes the air volume of the first air outlet area 102 greater than that of the second air outlet area 104.

[0124] As Figure 7 shown, the air outlet assembly 200 has a third form. When the air outlet assembly 200 switches to the third form, the wind deflector 202 blocks the first air outlet area 102, the air diffusing assembly 204 blocks the second air outlet area 104, and the air guide plate 206 makes the air volume of the second air outlet area 104 greater than that of the first air outlet area 102.

[0125] As Figure 8 shown, the air outlet assembly 200 has a fourth form. When the air outlet assembly 200 switches to the fourth form, the wind deflector 202 blocks the first air outlet area 102, the air diffusing assembly 204 blocks the second air outlet area 104, and the air guide plate 206 makes the air volume of the first air outlet area 102 greater than that of the second air outlet area 104.

[0126] In this embodiment, the first form of the air outlet assembly 200 is applicable to the general refrigeration mode. In the first form, both the first air outlet area 102 and the second air outlet area 104 of the first air outlet 100 are opened, and the air conditioner mainly blows air forward to increase the air supply distance. In this form, the air conditioner can reduce the room temperature at the fastest speed to achieve rapid refrigeration.

[0127] The second form of the air outlet assembly 200 is applicable to the general heating mode. In the second form, both the first air outlet area 102 and the second air outlet area 104 of the first air outlet 100 are opened, and the air conditioner mainly blows air downward. Since hot air has the property of rising, sending hot air to lower places as much as possible can effectively make the distribution of hot air in the room more uniform, prevent the situation where hot air accumulates on the ceiling while the lower part of the room is still occupied by cold air, and thus ensure the overall heating effect of the room.

[0128] The third form of the air outlet assembly 200 is applicable to the front air outlet mode of the windless feeling mode (in the refrigeration or heating mode). In this form, the front side and the lower side of the first air outlet 100 are blocked by the air diffusing assembly 204 and the wind deflector 202 respectively. Therefore, the air flow will be divided and disrupted into multiple disordered small air flows under the action of the air diffusing assembly 204 and the wind deflector 202. On the one hand, it reduces the energy of the air flow to prevent the air flow from blowing directly at the human body at high speed. On the other hand, the disordered small air flows can simulate natural wind and improve the use experience of the air conditioner.

[0129] Meanwhile, mainly distributing the air output to the second air outlet area 104, i.e., the front of the air conditioner, can increase the overall air output of the air conditioner while enhancing the draft-free effect at the lower part of the air conditioner, thereby improving the cooling or heating efficiency of the air conditioner.

[0130] The fourth form of the air outlet assembly 200 can be applied to the downward air outlet mode in the draft-free mode (in the cooling or heating mode). In this form, the front side and the lower side of the first air outlet 100 are respectively blocked by the air diffusing assembly 204 and the wind deflector 202. Therefore, the air flow will be split and disrupted into multiple disordered small air flows under the action of the air diffusing assembly 204 and the wind deflector 202. On the one hand, it reduces the energy of the air flow and prevents the air flow from blowing directly at the human body at high speed. On the other hand, the disordered small air flows can simulate natural wind and improve the user experience of the air conditioner.

[0131] Meanwhile, mainly distributing the air output to the first air outlet area 102, i.e., the front of the air conditioner, can increase the overall air output of the air conditioner while enhancing the draft-free effect at the front part of the air conditioner, thereby improving the cooling or heating efficiency of the air conditioner.

[0132] Embodiment Four

[0133] As Figure 9 shown, in an embodiment of the present invention, a control method for an air conditioner is provided, which is used to control the air conditioner provided in any of the above embodiments. The control method includes:

[0134] Step S902, receiving a control instruction and determining the operating mode of the air conditioner;

[0135] Step S904, controlling the air outlet assembly of the air conditioner to switch forms according to the control instruction and / or the operating mode.

[0136] In this embodiment, the air outlet assembly of the air conditioner is controlled to switch forms according to the received control instruction and the operating mode of the air conditioner. In different forms, the air outlet assembly can realize the switching between normal cooling, heating or air supply modes, and can also change the air outlet direction, such as downward air outlet or front air outlet, to meet the requirements of different usage scenarios.

[0137] Among them, the operating modes of the air conditioner include a cooling mode, a heating mode, an air supply mode, etc.

[0138] Embodiment Five

[0139] In an embodiment of the present invention, the operating mode includes a cooling mode. When it is determined that the operating mode is the cooling mode, the steps of controlling the air outlet assembly of the air conditioner to switch forms specifically include:

[0140] Control the wind shield to open the first air outlet area, control the air diffuser assembly to open the second air outlet area, and control the air deflector so that the air volume of the second air outlet area is greater than that of the first air outlet area, so as to switch the air outlet assembly to the first form.

[0141] In this embodiment, when it is determined that the operating mode is the cooling mode, control the air outlet assembly to switch to the first form. In the first form, both the first air outlet area and the second air outlet area of the first air outlet are opened, and the air conditioner mainly blows air forward to increase the air supply distance. In this form, the air conditioner can reduce the room temperature at the fastest speed to achieve rapid cooling.

[0142] Embodiment Six

[0143] In an embodiment of the present invention, the operating mode includes a heating mode. When it is determined that the operating mode is the heating mode, the steps of controlling the air outlet assembly of the air conditioner to switch forms specifically include:

[0144] Control the wind shield to open the first air outlet area, control the air diffuser assembly to open the second air outlet area, and control the air deflector so that the air volume of the first air outlet area is greater than that of the second air outlet area, so as to switch the air outlet assembly to the second form.

[0145] In this embodiment, when it is determined that the operating mode is the heating mode, control the air outlet assembly to switch to the second form. In the second form, both the first air outlet area and the second air outlet area of the first air outlet are opened, and the air conditioner mainly blows air downward. Since hot air has the property of floating, sending the hot air to lower places as much as possible can effectively make the distribution of hot air in the room more uniform, prevent the situation where hot air accumulates on the ceiling while the lower part of the room is still occupied by cold air, and thus ensure the overall heating effect of the room.

[0146] Embodiment Seven

[0147] In an embodiment of the present invention, the control instruction includes a first no-wind feeling control instruction. When it is determined that the operating mode is the cooling mode and the control instruction is the first no-wind feeling control instruction, the steps of controlling the air outlet assembly of the air conditioner to switch forms specifically include:

[0148] Control the wind shield to block the first air outlet area, control the air diffuser assembly to block the second air outlet area, and control the air deflector so that the air volume of the second air outlet area is greater than that of the first air outlet area, so as to switch the air outlet assembly to the third form.

[0149] In this embodiment, when the air conditioner receives the first no-wind-sensation control instruction in the cooling mode, specifically the no-wind-sensation front-side air outlet instruction, it controls the air outlet assembly to enter the third form. In the third form, the front side and the lower side of the first air outlet are respectively blocked by the air-dispersing component and the wind-blocking member. Therefore, the air flow will be divided and disrupted into multiple disordered small air flows under the action of the air-dispersing component and the wind-blocking member. On the one hand, it reduces the energy of the air flow and prevents the air flow from blowing directly at the human body at high speed. On the other hand, the disordered small air flows can simulate natural wind and improve the user experience of the air conditioner.

[0150] Meanwhile, the air volume is mainly distributed to the second air outlet area, that is, in front of the air conditioner. It can increase the overall air volume of the air conditioner while enhancing the no-wind-sensation effect at the lower part of the air conditioner, thereby improving the cooling or heating efficiency of the air conditioner.

[0151] Embodiment Eight

[0152] In an embodiment of the present invention, the control instruction includes a second no-wind-sensation control instruction. When it is determined that the operating mode is the cooling mode and the control instruction is the second no-wind-sensation control instruction, the steps of controlling the air outlet assembly of the air conditioner to switch forms specifically include:

[0153] Controlling the wind-blocking member to block the first air outlet area, controlling the air-dispersing component to block the second air outlet area, and controlling the air deflector to make the air volume of the first air outlet area greater than that of the second air outlet area, so that the air outlet assembly switches to the fourth form.

[0154] In this embodiment, when the air conditioner receives the second no-wind-sensation control instruction in the cooling mode, specifically the no-wind-sensation lower-side air outlet instruction, it controls the air outlet assembly to enter the fourth form. In the fourth form, the front side and the lower side of the first air outlet are respectively blocked by the air-dispersing component and the wind-blocking member. Therefore, the air flow will be divided and disrupted into multiple disordered small air flows under the action of the air-dispersing component and the wind-blocking member. On the one hand, it reduces the energy of the air flow and prevents the air flow from blowing directly at the human body at high speed. On the other hand, the disordered small air flows can simulate natural wind and improve the user experience of the air conditioner.

[0183] Embodiment Twelve

[0184] In an embodiment of the present invention, with reference to the air conditioner structure shown in Figures 1 to 8 the embodiment of the present application will be described.

[0185] Among them, the air conditioner includes a housing composed of a chassis, a front frame, and a front panel, and a heat exchanger, a wind wheel, swing blades, and small guide blades provided in the housing. An air inlet is provided at the top position of the housing, a front air outlet is provided at the lower side of the housing near the front panel side, a lower air outlet is provided at the bottom of the front frame, and side air outlets are provided on the left and right sides of the housing.

[0186] A bottom micro-hole part is provided at the lower part of the front frame of the indoor unit of the air conditioner near the volute side, and a bottom guide blade is provided on the side of the bottom micro-hole part close to the air outlet; a receiving cavity is provided between the front frame and the front panel, and a swirl module is provided in the receiving cavity. The swirl module can slide up and down in the receiving cavity under the drive of a drive mechanism to open or close the front air outlet.

[0187] It is set that the included angle between the central axis of the micro-holes on the bottom guide blade and the plumb plane is α, and 0° ≤ α ≤ 15°; the included angle between the central axis of the micro-holes on the bottom micro-hole part and the plumb plane is β, and 0° ≤ β ≤ 30°, and α ≤ β.

[0188] When the indoor unit of the air conditioner is in the shutdown state, the small guide blade is at the default angle γ0, the swirl module is in the position of sliding out of the receiving cavity and blocking the front air outlet, and the bottom guide blade is at the position where the free end overlaps with the swirl module.

[0189] When the indoor unit of the air conditioner enters the cooling mode, the swirl module slides upward and is received into the receiving cavity, the bottom guide blade rotates counterclockwise around the axis until the free end overlaps with the chassis, the small guide blade rotates to the cooling angle γ1, and the DC motor driving the wind wheel starts and rises to the cooling speed n1 to start working.

[0190] When the indoor unit of the air conditioner enters the windless feeling mode, the swirl module slides downward to block the front air outlet, the bottom guide blade rotates clockwise around the axis until the free end overlaps with the swirl module, the small guide blade rotates to the cooling angle γ1, and the rotation speed of the DC motor driving the wind wheel drops to the windless feeling speed n2.

[0191] When switching to the front no-wind-sensation high-airflow mode, the small guide vane rotates to the angle γ2, and the swirl module, the bottom guide vane, and the DC motor of the driving wind wheel maintain the no-wind-sensation mode state, so that the airflow sent forward through the swirl module is large, and the airflow sent out through the bottom micropore part and the micropores on the bottom guide vane is small.

[0192] When starting the bottom no-wind-sensation high-airflow mode, the small guide vane rotates to the angle γ3, and the swirl module, the bottom guide vane, and the DC motor of the driving wind wheel maintain the no-wind-sensation mode state, so that the airflow sent forward through the swirl module is small, and the airflow sent out through the bottom micropore part and the micropores on the bottom guide vane is large. Thus, the distribution of cooling capacity in the forward and downward directions in the no-wind-sensation state is realized, better meeting the differentiated needs of special scenarios such as installing the air conditioner at the head of the bed and the end of the bed or special users.

[0193] When the indoor unit of the air conditioner enters the heating mode, the swirl module slides upward and retracts into the accommodating cavity, the bottom guide vane rotates counterclockwise around the axis until the free end abuts against the chassis, the small guide vane rotates to the heating angle γ4, and the DC motor of the driving wind wheel starts and rises to the heating speed n3 to start working.

[0194] When the indoor unit of the air conditioner enters the no-wind-sensation mode, the swirl module slides downward to block the front air outlet, the bottom guide vane rotates clockwise around the axis until the free end abuts against the swirl module, the small guide vane rotates to the cooling angle γ1, and the rotational speed of the DC motor of the driving wind wheel drops to the no-wind-sensation speed n2. When switching to the front no-wind-sensation high-airflow mode, the small guide vane rotates to the angle γ2, and the swirl module, the bottom guide vane, and the DC motor of the driving wind wheel maintain the no-wind-sensation mode state, so that the airflow sent forward through the swirl module is large, and the airflow sent out through the bottom micropore part and the micropores on the bottom guide vane is small; when starting the bottom no-wind-sensation high-airflow mode, the small guide vane rotates to the angle γ3, and the swirl module, the bottom guide vane, and the DC motor of the driving wind wheel maintain the no-wind-sensation mode state, so that the airflow sent forward through the swirl module is small, and the airflow sent out through the bottom micropore part and the micropores on the bottom guide vane is large. Thus, the distribution of cooling capacity in the forward and downward directions in the no-wind-sensation state is realized, better meeting the differentiated needs of special scenarios such as installing the air conditioner at the head of the bed and the end of the bed or special users.
