[0047] The purpose, features and advantages of the present invention will be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings and in conjunction with the embodiments. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0048] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field based on the embodiments of the present invention without making any creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0049] It should be noted that if the embodiments of the present invention include descriptions of "first," "second," etc., these descriptions are for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, features specified as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of these features.

[0050] In addition, the meaning of "and / or" appearing in the full text includes three parallel solutions. Taking "A and / or B" as an example, it includes solution A, or solution B, or a solution in which both A and B are satisfied.

[0051] The present invention proposes an air-conditioning indoor unit and an air conditioner. The air-conditioning indoor unit can be a floor-standing air-conditioning indoor unit or a vertically mounted air-conditioning indoor unit. The present invention is described using a floor-standing air-conditioning indoor unit as an example, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0052] In one embodiment of the present invention, Figure 1-3 As shown, the floor-standing air-conditioning indoor unit 100 includes:

[0053] The housing 10 has an air inlet 13, an air outlet 11, and a heat exchange duct 12 connecting the air inlet 13 and the air outlet 11; and

[0054] A plurality of air guide frames 23 are sequentially distributed in the width direction of the air outlet 11 . The air guide frames 23 are arranged in the heat exchange air duct 12 corresponding to the air outlet 11 . The air guiding direction of at least one of the air guide frames 23 is adjustable.

[0055] Among them, such as Figure 1 As shown, the air outlet 11 generally extends in an up-down direction (ie, a vertical direction).

[0056] The air guide frame 23 is used to guide air so as to change the air supply direction of the air conditioner indoor unit 100 in the horizontal direction.

[0057] The plurality of air guide frames 23 are sequentially distributed in the width direction of the air outlet 11, which includes at least the following two meanings: 1) Figure 3 As shown in FIG. 1 , multiple air guide frames 23 are arranged side by side in the width direction of the air outlet 11. 2) Partial staggered arrangement, that is, multiple air guide frames 23 are arranged in sequence in the width direction of the air outlet 11, and at least two air guide frames 23 are arranged in sequence in the front-to-back direction; Figure 15 In the illustrated state, the air guide frame 23 provided on the right side is located right in front of the air guide frame 23 provided on the left side.

[0058] It should be noted that if the embodiments of the present invention involve directional indications (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.), the directional indications are only used to explain the relative position relationship, movement status, etc. between the various components under a certain specific posture (as shown in Figures 1, 3-8). If the specific posture changes, the directional indications will also change accordingly.

[0059] Usually, such as Figure 2-8As shown, the air conditioner indoor unit 100 generally further includes an indoor heat exchanger 80 disposed within the heat exchange duct 12. The indoor heat exchanger 80 is used to adjust the indoor air temperature, such as for cooling or heating. The air conditioner indoor unit 100 also includes a fan 90 disposed within the heat exchange duct 12. The fan 90 is used to drive air flow; the fan 90 can optionally be a crossflow fan 90. Optionally, the fan 90 is disposed on the air outlet side of the indoor heat exchanger 80.

[0060] Specifically, when working, the wind wheel 90 drives the indoor air to flow, and drives the indoor air to enter the heat exchange duct 12 from the air inlet 13. After the flowing air exchanges heat with the indoor heat exchanger 80, it flows into the air guide frame 23 and the air outlet 11, and is sent out from the air outlet 11 through different air guide frames 23.

[0061] The air-conditioning indoor unit 100 of the present invention can adjust the air supply direction of the air-conditioning indoor unit 100 by making the air guide direction of at least one of the air guide frames 23 adjustable, and can also enable the air-conditioning indoor unit 100 to have different air supply directions at the same time, thereby improving the air supply diversity and air supply range of the air-conditioning indoor unit 100.

[0062] Furthermore, if Figure 10 and 11 As shown, the air guide frame 23 includes a plurality of air guide strips 231 spaced apart across the width of the air outlet 11 and extending along the length of the air guide frame 23. Specifically, the air guide strips 231 extend in the vertical direction. This changes the direction of air flow as it passes through the air guide strips 231. The combined action of the plurality of air guide strips 231 determines the air guide direction of the air guide frame 23.

[0063] It can be understood that in a specific embodiment, the manner in which the air guide frame 23 is adjustable in its air guide direction includes at least the following three methods: 1) the air guide frame 23 itself can be rotated so that the air guide direction of the air guide frame 23 is adjustable; in this manner, the air guide frame 23 has a simple structure and is easy to control; 2) Figure 4-8 As shown, the air guide strips 231 of the air guide frame 23 are rotatable so that the air guide direction of the air guide frame 23 is adjustable; 3) Combining the above two methods. In the following examples of the present invention, the air guide frame 23 itself is mainly rotatable as an example for description.

[0064] Furthermore, if Figure 4-8 As shown in , and 15, at least one of the air guide frames 23 can be rotated so that the air guide direction of at least one air guide frame 23 can be adjusted. Figure 15 As shown, there are two air guide frames 23, one of which is rotatable and the other is fixed; etc.

[0065] Furthermore, if Figure 4-8 As shown, at least two of the air guide frames 23 are rotatable, and the rotations of the at least two air guide frames 23 are independent of each other. In this way, the air conditioner indoor unit 100 can have more air supply modes.

[0066] In some examples of the present invention, Figure 4-8 As shown, there are two air guide frames 23, both of which are rotatable and can rotate independently of each other. In this way, the air guide frames 23 and the air conditioner indoor unit 100 can have at least the following air supply modes:

[0067] 1) Front air supply mode, such as Figure 4 As shown, both of the air guide frames 23 supply air forward, so that the air conditioner indoor unit 100 supplies air forward.

[0068] 2) Left air supply mode, such as Figure 5 As shown, the two air guide frames 23 both supply air to the left, so that the air conditioner indoor unit 100 supplies air to the left.

[0069] 3) Left air supply mode, such as Figure 6 As shown, the two air guide frames 23 both supply air to the right, so that the air conditioner indoor unit 100 supplies air to the right.

[0070] 4) Dispersed air supply mode, such as Figure 7 As shown, the air guide frame 23 on the left side supplies air to the left, and the air guide frame 23 on the right side supplies air to the right, so as to achieve dispersed air supply of the air conditioner indoor unit 100. In this way, air can be supplied to both sides of the user instead of to the user as much as possible, thereby improving the user's comfort and user experience.

[0071] 5) Centralized air supply mode, such as Figure 8 As shown, the air guide frame 23 on the right side supplies air to the left, and the air guide frame 23 on the left side supplies air to the right, so that the air-conditioning indoor unit 100 can supply air forward in a concentrated manner, thereby improving the temperature improvement efficiency of the concentrated air supply area.

[0072] In another embodiment of the present invention, three air guide frames 23 are provided. The central air guide frame 23 is fixed for forward air delivery, while the left and right air guide frames 23 are rotatable, and the rotation of the left and right air guide frames 23 is independent of each other. This allows the air guide frames 23 and the air conditioner indoor unit 100 to have multiple air delivery modes (which can be derived from the above embodiments and need not be described in detail here).

[0073] In another embodiment of the present invention, three air guide frames 23 are provided, and the three air guide frames 23 are all rotatable, and the rotation of the three air guide frames 23 is independent of each other. In this way, the air guide frames 23 and the air conditioner indoor unit 100 can have multiple air supply modes, which need not be described in detail here.

[0074] Furthermore, if Figure 9-11 As shown, for the rotatable air guide frame 23, the air conditioner indoor unit 100 further includes an air guide motor 25, which is installed in the housing 10 and is used to drive the air guide frame 23 to rotate. In this way, the air guide frame 23 can be automatically rotated.

[0075] Of course, in other embodiments, the rotatable air guide frame 23 may also be controlled in a linkage manner, which is not necessary to describe in detail here.

[0076] Specifically, such as Figure 9-11 As shown, the air guide frame 23 further includes a connecting component, which connects a plurality of air guide strips 231. In this way, the plurality of air guide strips 231 can be connected into one by the connecting component.

[0077] Specifically, such as Figure 11 As shown, the connecting assembly includes a first end connecting portion 234 a , which is provided at the first ends of the plurality of air guide strips 231 to connect the first ends of the plurality of air guide strips 231 .

[0078] Alternatively, as Figure 11 As shown, the first end connection portion 234 a is an upper connection portion, and the first end of the air guide strip 231 is located at the upper end of the air guide strip 231 .

[0079] Alternatively, as Figure 11 As shown, the first end connecting portion 234a is plate-shaped.

[0080] Specifically, such as Figure 11 As shown, the connection assembly further includes a second end connection portion 234 b , which is disposed at the second ends of the plurality of air guide strips 231 to connect the second ends of the plurality of air guide strips 231 .

[0081] Alternatively, as Figure 11 As shown, the second end connection portion 234 b is a lower connection portion, and the second end of the air guide strip 231 is located at the lower end of the air guide strip 231 .

[0082] Alternatively, as Figure 11 As shown, the second end connecting portion 234b is plate-shaped.

[0083] Specifically, such as Figure 11As shown, the connecting assembly further includes a transverse reinforcing rib 234c, which is provided between the ends of the air guide strips 231 and connects the plurality of air guide strips 231. This not only improves the structural strength of the air guide frame 23 but also prevents the air guide strips 231 from vibrating when guiding air.

[0084] Alternatively, as Figure 11 As shown, the transverse reinforcing rib 234c is plate-shaped.

[0085] Optionally, the connection assembly further includes a side connection portion (not shown), which is provided on one side of the plurality of air guide strips 231 and connects the first end connection portion 234a and the second end connection portion 234b to further enhance the structural strength of the air guide frame 23. Of course, the side connection portion may not be provided, or the outermost air guide strip 231 may serve as the side connection portion.

[0086] It is understandable that the location of the rotation axis of the air guide frame 23 will have a certain impact on the air guiding effect of the air guide frame 23 , which will be explained with an example below.

[0087] In the first embodiment of the air guide frame 23, as shown in FIG. Figure 13 As shown, for the rotatable air guide frame 23, within the horizontal projection of the air guide frame 23, the rotation axis of the air guide frame 23 is located in the middle of the air guide frame 23. Specifically, the rotation axis of the air guide frame 23 is located in the middle of the air guide frame 23. This can reduce the driving force required to rotate the air guide frame 23, improving the rotational stability of the air guide frame 23 during rotation; and also increase the rotational efficiency of the air guide frame 23.

[0088] In the second embodiment of the air guide frame 23, as shown in FIG. Figure 14 As shown, for the rotatable air guide frame 23, within the horizontal projection of the air guide frame 23, the rotation axis of the air guide frame 23 is located at the end of the air guide frame 23 that is away from the adjacent rotatable air guide frame 23. Specifically, the rotation axis of the air guide frame 23 is located at the end of the air guide frame 23 that is away from the adjacent rotatable air guide frame 23. This not only facilitates the rotation of the air guide frame 23 out of the air outlet 11, but also increases the air guide / air delivery range of the air guide frame 23. It also improves the rotation sensitivity of the air guide frame 23.

[0089] Of course, in other embodiments, the rotation axis of the air guide frame 23 may also be set at other positions, which need not be described in detail here.

[0090] It should be noted that, in the first and second embodiments of the air guide frame 23, the two air guide frames 23 are arranged side by side. Figure 15As shown, in the third embodiment of the air guide frame 23, the two air guide frames 23 are staggered.

[0091] Hereinafter, the shape of the air guide frame 23 will be described with examples.

[0092] In the fourth embodiment of the air guide frame 23, as shown in FIG. Figure 16 As shown, the horizontal projection of the air guide frame 23 is waist-shaped.

[0093] In the fifth embodiment of the air guide frame 23, as shown in FIG. Figure 17 As shown, the horizontal projection of the air guide frame 23 is waist-shaped or approximately waist-shaped, and the side of the air guide frame 23 on the air outlet side is arc-shaped.

[0094] In the sixth embodiment of the air guide frame 23, as shown in FIG. Figure 18 As shown, the horizontal projection of the air guide frame 23 is trapezoidal or approximately trapezoidal.

[0095] It can be understood that, in a specific embodiment, the air guide frame 23 can be directly mounted on the housing 10 or installed in the housing 10 with the aid of other components, which is described below with examples.

[0096] Furthermore, if Figure 2 、 9 As shown in Figures 10 and 11 , the air conditioner indoor unit 100 further includes an upper mounting portion 24a disposed in the housing 10 , and the upper end of the air guide frame 23 is mounted on the upper mounting portion 24a. Specifically, the upper mounting portion 24a is fixedly disposed in the housing 10 and is disposed above the air outlet 11.

[0097] Specifically, for the rotatable air guide frame 23 , the upper end of the air guide frame 23 is rotatably mounted on the upper mounting portion 24 a .

[0098] Optionally, the upper mounting portion 24a is an upper mounting seat.

[0099] Furthermore, if Figure 2 、 9 As shown in FIG10 , the air conditioner indoor unit 100 further includes a lower mounting portion 24 b disposed in the housing 10 , and the lower end of the air guide frame 23 is mounted on the lower mounting portion 24 b. Specifically, the lower mounting portion 24 b is fixedly disposed in the housing 10 and is disposed below the air outlet 11.

[0100] Specifically, for the rotatable air guide frame 23 , the lower end of the air guide frame 23 is rotatably mounted on the upper mounting portion 24 a .

[0101] Optionally, the lower mounting portion 24b is a lower mounting seat.

[0102] Thus, through the above structure, the air guide frame 23 can be installed in the housing 10. Of course, in other embodiments, only the upper mounting portion 24a or the lower mounting portion 24b can be provided, and other mounting structures can be used to assist the air guide frame 23 to be installed in the housing 10.

[0103] Specifically, the air guide motor 25 is installed on the upper installation portion 24a or the lower installation portion 24b.

[0104] Furthermore, if Figure 3-8 As shown, the air conditioner indoor unit 100 further includes a damper 21 disposed on the air outlet side of an air guide frame 23. The damper 21 is rotatably disposed in the heat exchange air duct 12. The damper 21 has a first position where it rotates toward the air outlet 11 to close the air outlet 11, and a second position where it rotates into the heat exchange air duct 12 to open the air outlet 11. The air inlet side of the air guide frame 23 is the side of the air guide frame 23 facing the indoor heat exchanger 80, and the air outlet side of the air guide frame 23 is the side opposite to the air inlet side.

[0105] Thus, when the air conditioner indoor unit 100 is supplying air, the damper 21 can be rotated to the second position to supply air; when the air conditioner indoor unit 100 is in the off state or other state (such as self-sterilization, etc.) (such as Figure 3 As shown), the damper 21 can be rotated to the first position to close the air outlet 11.

[0106] Specifically, such as Figure 3-8 As shown, the upper and lower ends of the damper 21 are rotatably mounted on the upper mounting portion 24a and the lower mounting portion 24b, respectively. In this way, the damper 21 can be first mounted on the upper mounting portion 24a and the lower mounting portion 24b, and then installed together into the housing 10, which helps to reduce the difficulty of assembly. Of course, the damper 21 can also be directly rotatably mounted on the housing 10.

[0107] Alternatively, as Figure 2 、 9 As shown in FIG10 , the air conditioner indoor unit 100 further includes a damper motor 31 for driving the damper 21 to rotate. This allows for automatic rotation of the damper 21. Optionally, the damper motor 31 is mounted on the upper mounting portion 24a or the lower mounting portion 24b.

[0108] Furthermore, if Figure 2 、 9 As shown in FIG10 , the air conditioning indoor unit 100 further includes a wind sweeping assembly 22 provided on the air inlet side of the air guide frame 23. Thus, by controlling the wind sweeping assembly 22, the air supply direction of the air conditioning indoor unit 100 in the up and down directions can be adjusted.

[0109] Specifically, such as Figure 12As shown, the wind sweeping assembly 22 includes a wind sweeping frame 224 and a plurality of wind sweeping blades 221 rotatably mounted on the wind sweeping frame 224 . The plurality of wind sweeping blades 221 are arranged at intervals in the vertical direction to achieve wind sweeping in the vertical direction.

[0110] Optionally, the upper and lower ends of the air sweeping frame 224 are respectively mounted on the upper mounting portion 24a and the lower mounting portion 24b.

[0111] Specifically, such as Figure 12 As shown, the wind sweeping assembly 22 further includes a wind sweeping motor 223 and a driving connecting rod 222 . The wind sweeping motor 223 drives the wind sweeping blades 221 to rotate / swing via the driving connecting rod 222 .

[0112] Optionally, the wind sweeping motor 223 is installed on the upper mounting portion 24a or the lower mounting portion 24b.
