[0045] Preferably, the air outlets are distributed in an array, with the number of rows being greater than or equal to 1 and the number of columns being greater than or equal to 1.

[0046] Preferably, the air conditioning cabinet includes a left air supply mode and / or a right air supply mode and / or an upper air supply mode and / or a lower air supply mode.

[0047] Preferably, for each air outlet, the air sweeping blades include left and right air sweeping blades and / or upper and lower air sweeping blades.

[0048] Preferably, there are multiple dust-proof plates.

[0049] Preferably, there are multiple fresh air outlets, and the shell is also provided with a fresh air inlet for outdoor air supply to enter the shell.

[0050] The present invention also provides an air conditioner, which includes an outdoor unit and the above-mentioned air conditioning cabinet.

[0051] Preferably, the air conditioner comprises a control key for automatic switching and manual switching among the normal mode, the breeze mode and the comfortable wind mode.

[0052] In the present invention, a method for controlling the air outlet of an air-conditioning cabinet is also provided. When the air-conditioning cabinet is cooling or heating, in normal mode, the dustproof plate and the wind-sweeping blades are in an open state; in breeze mode, the dustproof plate is in an open state, and the wind-sweeping blades are in a closed state; in comfortable wind mode, the dustproof plate is in a closed state, and the wind-sweeping blades are in an open state; and, the outdoor air entering the shell of the air-conditioning cabinet is purified, and the purified outdoor air is sent into the room; wherein, in normal mode, control is performed for zoned air supply.

[0053] In the present invention, a computer-readable storage medium is also provided, on which a computer program is stored. When the computer program is executed, the steps of the air outlet control method of the air-conditioning cabinet unit as proposed above are implemented.

[0054] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, specific embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0055] In an embodiment of the present invention, an air conditioning cabinet is provided, such as Figure 1-4 ,as well as Figure 8 As shown, it includes a shell 1, an air outlet 11 and an air inlet 12 are provided on the shell 1, a wind sweeping blade is provided at the air outlet 11, and a dustproof plate corresponding to the air outlet 11 is provided on the outer wall of the shell 1; wherein, the air conditioning cabinet includes a normal mode, a breeze mode and a comfortable wind mode; and, a fresh air outlet 13 is also provided on the shell 1, which is located below the air outlet 11, and a wind sweeping blade is provided at the fresh air outlet 13.

[0056] There are two dustproof plates and four air outlets 11. The dustproof plates D1 and D2 are adapted to the four air outlets 11 and can cover the four air outlets 11. That is, when the dustproof plates D1 and D2 are in the open state, the air outlets 11 are exposed, and when the dustproof plates D1 and D2 are in the closed state, the air outlets 11 are not exposed.

[0057] like Figure 2 , 3As shown, the left and right sweeping blades corresponding to the air outlet 11 are S1, S2, S3, and S4 respectively, and the upper and lower sweeping blades are S7. The left and right sweeping blades can sweep the air left and right when working, and the upper and lower sweeping blades can sweep the air up and down when working. The sweeping blades are in the open state, which means that the air outlet 11 is in the open state, and the air in the shell 1 can be blown out smoothly; the sweeping blades are in the closed state, which means that the air outlet 11 is in the closed state, and the air in the shell 1 cannot be blown out smoothly, or the air in the shell 1 can only be blown out through the gaps between adjacent blades at each air outlet 11.

[0058] When the air conditioner is cooling (heating), Figure 3 , 5 as well as Fig. 9 As shown, in normal mode, the dust shields D1 and D2 rotate to open, the sweeping blades S1, S2, S3, S4, and S7 are open, the air conditioner is running, the sweeping blades S1, S2, S3, and S4 rotate left and right to sweep the air, and the sweeping blade S7 sweeps the air up and down to expand the air supply angle of the cold air (hot air). Figure 2 , 10 As shown, in breeze mode, dust shields D1 and D2 are opened, and sweeping blades S1, S2, S3, and S4 are closed. Under the action of wind pressure, warm or cold air is blown out through the gaps between sweeping blades S1, S2, S3, and S4, achieving breeze delivery and improving user experience. Fig.11 As shown, in the comfort wind mode, the dustproof plates D1 and D2 are closed, and the sweeping blades S1, S2, S3, and S4 are opened. Under the action of wind pressure, air is delivered to the outside over a long distance from the gap between the dustproof plates D1, D2 and the shell 1, forming a surrounding airflow and accelerating the indoor air circulation.

[0059] Continue as Fig.11 As shown, when the dustproof plates D1 and D2 are in the closed state, there is a gap 3 between the dustproof plate D1 or the dustproof plate D2 and the shell 1. When the air conditioner is running, under the action of wind pressure, air can be blown out from the gap 3 to achieve long-distance air supply, form a surrounding airflow, and accelerate indoor air circulation.

[0060] The traditional air outlet mode is that the wind blows forward, relying on the up and down, left and right swinging of the wind sweeping blades to expand the wind sweeping area. Using the traditional air conditioner for too long will cause the indoor air quality to decline, affecting the user experience. Compared with the traditional air outlet mode, the present invention adds a breeze mode and a comfortable wind mode, and adds a fresh air function, which can avoid the phenomenon of wind blowing directly on people, realize the diversification of air supply, meet the various needs of users, improve the indoor air quality, and enhance the comfort of air conditioning.

[0061] In the embodiment of the present invention, in normal mode, the air conditioning cabinet can realize zoned air supply, that is, the air conditioning cabinet can realize partial opening of air outlets while closing other air outlets. In order to realize zoned air supply, each air outlet 11 is equipped with a cross-flow fan blade, each cross-flow fan blade is equipped with a motor, and the sweeping blades at each air outlet 11 are independently controlled. As a specific implementation, the air conditioning cabinet includes a left air supply mode and / or a right air supply mode and / or an upper air supply mode and / or a lower air supply mode. Figure 4 , 6 As shown in Figure 7, the four air outlets 11 are respectively equipped with cross-flow (centrifugal) blades G1, G2, G3, and G4, and are respectively equipped with motors E1, E2, E3, and E4. The air outlet 11 is located on the front of the housing 1, and the back of the housing 1 has an air inlet 12 and a fresh air inlet 14, and the fresh air inlet 14 is connected to the outside through a pipeline. In order to realize the upper and lower partitions or left and right partitions of the air conditioner cabinet, when only the left side is needed to supply air, the sweeping blades S1\S3 are opened, the sweeping blades S2\S4 are closed, and the motors E1\E3 control the cross-flow blades G1\G3 to work, as shown in Figure 7. Figure 6 As shown; when only the right side needs to be supplied with air, the sweeping blades S2\S4 are opened, the sweeping blades S1\S3 are closed, and the motors E2\E4 control the crossflow blades G2\G4 to work; when only the upper air outlet needs to be supplied with air, the sweeping blades S1\S2 are opened, the sweeping blades S3\S4 are closed, and the motors E1\E2 control the crossflow blades G1\G2 to work, as shown Figure 7 As shown; when only the lower air outlet is needed to supply air, the sweeping blades S3\S4 are opened, the sweeping blades S1\S2 are closed, and the motors E3\E4 control the crossflow blades G3\G4 to work; this can meet the needs of users and can achieve the effect of wind avoiding people or blowing people.

[0062] like Fig.12 , 13 As shown in Figures 1 and 14, the fresh air component 2 includes a filter frame 21, a filter assembly 22, an air cavity upper cover 23, a crossflow (centrifugal) fan blade G5 and an air cavity lower cover 24. The crossflow (centrifugal) fan blade G5 is equipped with a motor E5. There are three fresh air outlets 13, which are respectively provided with sweeping blades S5, S6 and S8. Two of the fresh air outlets are linked and opened or closed at the same time. When the air conditioner is in cooling (heating) operation, the fresh air function is turned on, the sweeping blades S5 and S6 are opened, and the outdoor fresh air passes through the filter assembly 22 and enters the room from the fresh air outlet 13. Fig.12As shown, driven by the airflow of the air outlet 11, it is transported forward to improve the indoor air quality. When the outdoor air quality is poor, only the air conditioning ventilation function is turned on, and the other fresh air outlet 13 and the wind sweeping blade S8 are opened to filter the outdoor air and enter the room from the fresh air outlet 13 to improve the indoor air quality. By providing fresh air from the outside to the room, the indoor air quality is improved and the comfort of the air conditioner is improved. Among them, the three fresh air outlets are distributed in a circle, and the adjacent fresh air outlets are at an angle of 120 degrees.

[0063] In an embodiment of the present invention, an air conditioner is also provided, which includes an outdoor unit and the above-mentioned air conditioning cabinet.

[0064] The switching between the normal mode, breeze mode and comfortable wind mode of the air conditioner includes two control modes: automatic and manual. Therefore, the air conditioner also includes control keys for automatic switching and manual switching, or the automatic switching is the default, and the user can switch manually according to needs. Automatic switching means that when the air conditioner reaches the set temperature, the normal mode automatically switches to the breeze mode or the comfortable wind mode, so that even in the case of inconvenient manual switching at night, it does not affect the user's comfort.

[0065] In an embodiment of the present invention, a method for controlling air outlet of an air conditioner cabinet is also provided. Fig.15 As shown, when the air-conditioning cabinet is cooling or heating, in normal mode, the dust plate and the wind sweeping blades are in the open state; in breeze mode, the dust plate is in the open state, and the wind sweeping blades are in the closed state; in comfort wind mode, the dust plate is in the closed state, and the wind sweeping blades are in the open state; and the outdoor air entering the shell of the air-conditioning cabinet is purified, and the purified outdoor air is sent into the room; wherein, in normal mode, control is performed for zoned air supply.
