[0002] The existing air conditioner blows out the airflow after heat exchange through the conventional air outlet of the air conditioner, and the air outlet mode is conventional air outlet. The airflow from the conventional air outlet is fixed and cannot be changed, and the radiation range is short and narrow, which cannot realize long-distance air supply and reduces the user experience.

[0003] The vortex ring generating device can realize long-distance air supply. The vortex ring generating device can push the gas in the vortex ring air supply part by using the airflow pushing assembly to realize the output of the vortex ring. However, this structure causes the vortex ring airflow blown out by the vortex ring generating device to be indoor airflow, and cannot directly form vortex ring airflow from the heat-exchanged gas.

[0040] The present application proposes an indoor unit of an air conditioner, which can be an indoor unit of an air conditioner, a mobile air conditioner, a wall-mounted indoor unit of an air conditioner, a window air conditioner, etc.

[0041] In the embodiments of the present application, as Figures 1 to 7As shown, the air conditioner indoor unit comprises a shell 1, a vortex air supply part 2 and a vortex generating part 3. The shell 1 has a heat exchange air duct 11, and the shell 1 is provided with a mounting port 121. The vortex air supply part 2 is mounted on the heat exchange air duct 11, and the vortex air supply part 2 comprises an air cylinder 21 and a flow collecting piece 22. The air cylinder 21 is provided with an air exchange port 211 and an air outlet port 212. The flow collecting piece 22 is mounted on the air outlet port 212, and the flow collecting piece 22 is formed with an air supply port 221 in communication with the air cylinder 21. The air supply port 221 has a smaller air flow area than the air outlet port 212. The air supply port 221 is in communication with the indoor environment through the mounting port 121. The peripheral wall surface of the flow collecting piece 22 is provided with a ventilation structure in communication with the heat exchange air duct 11. The vortex generating part 3 comprises a driving device 31 and an air flow pushing assembly 32 mounted on the air cylinder 21. The driving device 31 periodically drives the air flow pushing assembly 32 to make the gas in the vortex air supply part 2 blow out through the air supply port 221.

[0042] In the embodiment, the shell 1 can be integrally formed or formed by two sub-shells. The shape of the mounting port 121 of the shell 1 can be circular, oval, rectangular, polygonal, irregular, etc. The shape of the air exchange port 211 can be circular, rectangular, oval, polygonal, etc. or multiple holes or micro-holes. The shape of the air outlet port 212 and the air supply port 221 can be circular, rectangular, oval, polygonal, etc. The shape of the mounting port 121 and the air supply port 221 can be the same or different. The air supply port 221 is in communication with the indoor environment through the mounting port 121. The flow collecting piece 22 can be arranged in the shell, so that the air supply port 221 is arranged corresponding to the vortex air outlet port 212. The flow collecting piece 22 can also abut against the panel 12, so that the vortex air outlet port 212 is connected with the air supply port 221. The flow collecting piece 22 can also be arranged outside the panel 12, so that the air supply port 221 is arranged outside the panel 12.

[0043] Specifically, please refer to Figures 1 to 4 The shell 1 is also provided with a main air inlet, a main air outlet 131 and a heat exchange air duct 11 in communication with the main air inlet and the main air outlet 131. The air conditioner indoor unit further comprises a heat exchange fan mounted on the heat exchange air duct 11. The heat exchange fan is used to drive sufficient air flow to flow through the heat exchange air duct 11 from the main air inlet and blow out from the main air outlet 131. The heat exchange air duct 11 refers to a channel in which the air flow entering from the main air inlet can be heat exchanged and then blown out from the main air outlet 131. The heat exchange air duct 11 can be directly formed by the shell 1 or formed by the air duct inner wall in the shell 1. The cross-sectional shape of the shell 1 and the heat exchange air duct 11 can be circular, oval, rectangular, polygonal, etc. The extension shape of the heat exchange air duct 11 can be straight cylinder type or bending type, etc.

[0044] The air duct 21 is substantially cylindrical. In one embodiment, the air collecting member 22 is a collecting cover, which is tapered from the air outlet 212 to the air outlet 221. The cross-sectional shape of the collecting cover can be circular, oval, rectangular, etc. In order to reduce air resistance, the collecting cover is substantially cylindrical. By tapering the collecting cover from the air outlet 212 to the air outlet 221, the collecting cover can collect the air sent out from the air outlet 212, and make the generation and blowing of the vortex ring more smooth.

[0045] The air collecting member 22 and the air duct 21 can be integrally formed, or separately formed. It can be understood that when the air collecting member 22 and the air duct 21 are separately formed, the air collecting member 22 and the air duct 21 are sealingly connected. When the air collecting cover and the air duct 21 are integrally formed, the air duct 21 and the air collecting member 22 are divided by a virtual boundary line, one side of the boundary line is the air duct 21, the other side is the air collecting member 22, and the air outlet 212 of the air duct 21 is formed at the boundary line. Undoubtedly, the air passing area of the air outlet 212 is larger than the air passing area of the air outlet 221 of the air collecting member 22. The extension direction of the outer wall surface of the air collecting member 22 and the air duct 21 can be consistent, that is, the length extension lines of the outer wall surfaces of the two are a straight line, at this time, the vortex ring air supply part 2 is a complete shape without a transition line. The extension direction of the outer wall surface of the air collecting member 22 and the air duct 21 can be inconsistent, that is, the length extension lines of the outer wall surfaces of the two are arranged at an angle, at this time, a transition line is formed at the connection of the air collecting member 22 and the air duct 21.

[0046] The ventilation structure can be a ventilation hole directly formed on the peripheral wall surface of the air collecting member 22. In one embodiment, the peripheral wall surface of the air collecting member 22 is in a grid shape to form the ventilation structure. By making the peripheral wall surface of the air collecting member 22 in a grid shape, a plurality of ventilation holes 222 are naturally formed by the structure of the grid.

[0047] By making the air passing area of the air outlet 221 smaller than the air passing area of the air outlet 212, part of the airflow flowing from the air outlet 212 to the air outlet 221 will flow along the inner wall surface of the air collecting member 22, and then flow out from the peripheral edge of the air outlet 221, and the other part of the airflow will flow out from the middle of the air outlet 221. The part of the airflow flowing out from the edge of the air outlet 221 is defined as edge airflow, and the airflow flowing out from the middle of the air outlet 221 is defined as middle airflow. Then, the edge airflow has a lower flow rate than the middle airflow due to the resistance of the inner wall surface of the air collecting member 22. The difference in flow rate will cause the vortex ring airflow when the airflow flows out from the air outlet 221. Under the same air volume, the vortex ring air supply can realize directional, fixed-point and long-distance air supply. Moreover, the vortex ring exchanges heat with the surrounding air during transmission, and the temperature difference between the vortex ring and the surrounding air is not large, which ensures that the vortex ring does not produce obvious overcooling or overheating when blown on the human body, and improves the comfort.

[0048] The air flow pushing assembly 32 can be a piston structure, a diaphragm structure, a push plate plus flexible piece structure, etc. When the air flow pushing assembly 32 is a piston structure, the piston is sealed with the inner wall of the air duct 21 and can move relatively. When the driving device 31 drives the piston to move in the air duct 21, the gas on the side of the air duct 21 close to the air outlet 221 can be compressed, and then the gas is pushed to form a vortex air flow from the air outlet 221. When the air flow pushing assembly 32 is a diaphragm structure, the diaphragm structure is made of flexible or elastic material. The diaphragm structure is fixedly connected with the inner wall of the air duct 21. By pushing and pulling the diaphragm structure, the gas on the side of the air duct 21 close to the air outlet 221 can be periodically compressed, so as to drive the air flow to form a vortex air flow from the air outlet 221. When the air flow pushing assembly 32 is a push plate plus flexible piece structure, the flexible piece is fixedly connected with the peripheral wall of the air duct 21, and the push plate is connected with the flexible piece and faces the air outlet 221. By driving the push plate to move to drive the flexible piece to fold and stretch, the cavities on both sides of the push plate are not communicated, so that the gas on the side of the air duct 21 close to the air outlet 221 can be periodically compressed, thereby driving the air flow to form a vortex air flow from the air outlet 221.

[0049] The driving device 31 can include a driving member and a transmission member. The driving member can be an electric motor, a hydraulic driving device, a pneumatic driving device, an electromagnet driving device, etc. The transmission member can be a screw rod transmission, a worm gear transmission, a gear and rack transmission, a connecting rod transmission, etc. The driving member can drive the transmission member to move to drive the air flow pushing assembly 32 to compress the volume of the vortex air duct close to the air outlet 221. Here, no specific limitation is made.

[0050] It can be understood that, since the distance from the ventilation structure to the air flow pushing assembly 32 is smaller than the distance from the air outlet 221 to the air flow pushing assembly 32, when the air flow pushing assembly 32 moves to the side of the air exchange port 211, the gas is introduced into the air duct 21 from the ventilation structure in priority, so that a large amount of heat-exchanged gas can be introduced into the air duct 21. When the vortex air flow is needed to be pushed out, the driving device 31 drives the air flow pushing assembly 32 to move to the side of the air exchange port 211, and the gas in the cavity close to the air exchange port 211 of the air flow pushing assembly 32 is discharged from the air exchange port 211. Since the ventilation structure is provided on the flow collecting piece 22 and is communicated with the heat-exchange air duct 11, the air flow in the heat-exchange air duct 11 can be introduced into the air duct 21 from the ventilation structure. Then, the driving device 31 drives the air flow pushing assembly 32 to quickly move to the side of the air outlet 221, and the heat-exchanged air flow is quickly pushed out from the air outlet 221. By making the air passing area of the air outlet 221 smaller than the air passing area of the air outlet 212, the heat-exchanged vortex air flow can be blown out from the air outlet 221. In this way, the heat-exchanged vortex air flow can be periodically blown out from the air outlet 221.

[0051] The air conditioner indoor unit of the present application drives the gas in the extrusion vortex ring air supply part 2 of the airflow pushing assembly 32 by using the driving device 31 to drive the airflow pushing assembly 32, so as to realize the sending of the vortex airflow. At the same time of realizing the fast blowing of the vortex airflow, the vortex air supply distance is farther and the radiation range is wider. The ventilation structure is arranged on the peripheral wall surface of the flow collecting piece 22 and is communicated with the heat exchange air duct 11. When the airflow pushing assembly 32 is pushed and pulled, the airflow in the heat exchange air duct 11 can be introduced into the heat exchange air duct 11 through the ventilation structure, so that the blown vortex airflow is the heat exchanged gas. Combined with the characteristics of the vortex long-distance air supply, the area far away from the air conditioner indoor unit can also realize heat exchange, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency of the indoor space, making the room temperature more uniform, and improving the user comfort.

[0052] In an embodiment, the ventilation structure is a plurality of ventilation holes 222 arranged on the peripheral wall surface of the flow collecting piece 22. The shape of the ventilation hole 222 can be various, for example, it can be any one or a combination of a round hole, an oval hole, a square hole, a rhombic hole, a triangular hole, and a conical hole. The ventilation hole 222 can also be other regular or irregular shapes, and the specific shape is not limited here. The ventilation structure is the ventilation hole 222 directly arranged on the flow collecting piece 22, and the processing technology is simple and easy to realize.

[0053] Specifically, the plurality of ventilation holes 222 are arranged along the circumference of the flow collecting piece 22. By arranging the ventilation holes 222 along the circumference of the peripheral wall surface of the flow collecting piece 22, the flow rate of the airflow is higher, and a large amount of heat exchange airflow can be ensured to enter the air duct 21 from the ventilation hole 222. Thus, the vortex airflow after sufficient heat exchange is blown out, and the indoor heat exchange efficiency is further improved.

[0054] Further, the opening rate of the ventilation hole 222 on the peripheral wall surface of the flow collecting piece 22 is greater than 0 and less than or equal to 70%.

[0055] Specifically, the opening ratio can be 10%, 15%, 20%, 30%, 35%, 45%, 60%, 70%, etc. The opening ratio here refers to the ratio of the total area of the ventilation holes 222 to the surface area of the peripheral wall of the collector 22. If the opening ratio of the ventilation holes 222 on the peripheral wall of the collector 22 is greater than 70%, the total area of the ventilation holes 222 is too large, and most of the airflow will leak out when passing through the ventilation holes 222 during the process of the airflow pushing assembly 32 blowing the airflow from the air outlet 221, which will affect the airflow output of the vortex ring airflow and may also affect the formation of the vortex ring. By making the opening ratio less than or equal to 70%, the heat exchange airflow can be smoothly introduced from the ventilation holes 222 when the airflow pushing assembly 32 moves towards the air outlet 221, and the amount of air leakage is small when the airflow pushing assembly 32 moves towards the air outlet 221, which has less effect on the airflow output of the vortex ring airflow and the formation of the vortex ring. It can be understood that since the air outlet 221 is arranged directly opposite the airflow pushing assembly 32, and the ventilation holes 222 are arranged on the peripheral wall of the collector 22, when the airflow pushing assembly 32 pushes and pushes the airflow towards the air outlet 221, a large amount of airflow will be blown out from the air outlet 221. As long as the opening ratio is less than or equal to 70%, the amount of air leakage from the ventilation holes 222 will be greatly reduced.

[0056] In an embodiment, referring again to Figures 1 to 7 , the diameter of the ventilation holes 222 is greater than or equal to 1 mm and less than or equal to 5 mm.

[0057] Specifically, the diameter of the ventilation holes 222 can be 1 mm, 2 mm, 2.5 mm, 3 mm, 3.5 mm, 4 mm, 5 mm, etc. It can be understood that when the ventilation holes 222 are circular, the diameter here refers to the diameter, and when the ventilation holes 222 are of other shapes, the diameter refers to the diameter of the circumscribed circle of the ventilation holes 222. When the diameter of the ventilation holes 222 is less than 1 mm, the diameter of the ventilation holes 222 is too small, and the effect of introducing heat exchange air from the ventilation holes is not ideal. When the diameter of the ventilation holes 222 is greater than 5 mm, the diameter of the ventilation holes 222 is too large, which will cause a large amount of air leakage from the ventilation holes 222 when the airflow pushing assembly 32 blows the airflow towards the air outlet 221, thereby affecting the airflow output of the vortex ring airflow and affecting the formation of the vortex ring. By making the diameter of the ventilation holes 222 greater than or equal to 1 mm and less than or equal to 5 mm, the heat exchange air can be smoothly introduced from the ventilation holes 222 with less effect on the airflow output of the vortex ring airflow and the formation of the vortex ring, thereby blowing out the vortex ring airflow after sufficient heat exchange and further improving the indoor heat exchange efficiency.

[0058] In an embodiment, as Figures 1 to 7As shown, the air conditioner indoor unit further comprises a flow guide 4, which is arranged around the air outlet 221. An air diffusion outlet channel 5 is formed between the outer wall surface of the flow guide 4 and the inner wall surface of the mounting port 121. The air diffusion outlet channel 5 is in communication with the heat exchange air duct 11. The flow guide 4 is used to guide the airflow at the air diffusion outlet channel 5, so that the airflow blown out of the air diffusion outlet channel 5 deviates from the direction of the vortex airflow blown out.

[0059] In the embodiment, the flow guide 4 is arranged around the air outlet 221, and the flow guide 4 can be connected to the outer circumferential side wall of the flow collecting member 22. Through the action of the flow guide 4, the airflow of the outer circumferential side wall of the flow collecting member 22 can be smoothly guided to deviate from the direction of the vortex airflow blown out, thereby avoiding the airflow blown out of the air diffusion outlet channel 5 from affecting the formation and air supply of the vortex airflow. The flow guide 4 can be arranged in the shell 1, can extend out of the shell 1, or can be flush with the shell 1. When the flow guide 4 is arranged in the shell 1 or is flush with the shell 1, the radial dimension of the air outlet of the flow guide 4 should be smaller than the radial dimension of the mounting port 121, so that the air diffusion outlet channel 5 is smoothly formed between the outer wall surface of the flow guide 4 and the inner wall surface of the mounting port 121.

[0060] The flow guide 4 and the flow collecting member 22 can be integrally formed or separately formed. It should be noted that when the flow guide 4 and the flow collecting member 22 are integrally formed, and the flow guide 4 extends out of the shell 1, the radial dimension of the position of the flow guide 4 corresponding to the mounting port 121 should be smaller than the radial dimension of the mounting port 121, so that the vortex air outlet 212 is formed in the middle of the mounting port 121, and the air diffusion outlet channel 5 is formed around. When the flow guide 4 and the flow collecting member 22 are separately formed, the flow guide 4 extends out of the shell 1, and the flow collecting member 22 is arranged in the shell, and the air outlet 221 is located on the inner side of the panel 12. At this time, the radial dimension of the position of the flow guide 4 corresponding to the mounting port 121 should be smaller than the radial dimension of the mounting port 121, so that the air diffusion outlet channel 5 is formed between the flow guide 4 and the inner wall surface of the mounting port 121. The airflow blown out of the air diffusion outlet channel 5 can realize windless air supply, and the air supply is more gentle and comfortable.

[0061] The flow guide 4 is arranged at the air supply port 221 of the flow collecting piece 22, and the outer wall surface of the flow guide 4 and the inner wall surface of the mounting port 121 form the air distribution and air outlet channel 5. The flow guide 4 is used to guide the air flow blown by the air distribution and air outlet channel 5, and make the air flow blown by the air distribution and air outlet channel 5 deviate from the direction of the vortex ring air flow. In this way, the mounting port 121 on the panel 12 is fully utilized, the vortex ring air flow is blown at the middle of the mounting port 121, the heat exchange air distribution air flow is blown around, and the air flow blown by the air distribution and air outlet channel 5 does not affect the vortex ring air flow. In this way, the vortex ring air supply is accurate, the air supply distance is far, the propagation efficiency is high, the air supply area of the whole air conditioner indoor unit is wider, the air supply distance is farther, the heat exchange efficiency is high, the space temperature is more uniform, and the comfort level is higher.

[0062] In an embodiment, the flow guide 4 is arranged at least partially outside the mounting port 121 to guide the air flow blown by the air distribution and air outlet channel 5 to deviate from the direction of the vortex ring air flow. By arranging the flow guide 4 outside the mounting port 121, the length of the flow guide 4 for guiding the air flow is longer. Not only the air flow is guided inside the shell 1, but also a part of the air flow is guided outside the shell 1. Further, the air flow of the air distribution and air outlet channel 5 can be smoothly guided along the outer wall surface of the flow guide 4 away from the direction of the vortex ring air flow. The flow guide 4 as a whole has a better effect of guiding the air flow blown by the air distribution and air outlet channel 5 to deviate from the vortex ring air flow.

[0063] Further, the flow guide 4 is a flow guide cylinder, and the flow guide cylinder is provided with a flow guide plate at an end away from the air supply port 221. In this way, the flow guide cylinder is connected with the flow collecting piece 22, on one hand, the flow guide cylinder guides the vortex ring air flow, and on the other hand, the flow guide cylinder guides the air flow blown by the air distribution and air outlet channel 5 to deviate from the direction of the vortex ring air flow blown by the air supply port 221, so that the air flow blown by the air distribution and air outlet channel 5 does not affect the vortex ring air flow. At this time, the flow guide cylinder and the flow collecting piece 22 can be arranged integrally without a connecting line, and the flow guide cylinder can be arranged in a straight cylinder shape.

[0064] In combination with the above-mentioned embodiment with the flow guide 4, further, the flow guide 4 comprises a flow guide cover, and the flow guide cover is arranged in a gradually expanding manner from the air supply port 221 to the side of the flow collecting piece 22. By arranging the flow guide cover in a gradually expanding manner from the side away from the vortex ring generating device, the air flow blown from the air distribution and air outlet channel 5 gradually deviates from the direction of the vortex ring air flow along the outer wall surface of the flow guide cover, so that the heat exchange air distribution blown by the air distribution and air outlet channel 5 has little or almost no effect on the vortex ring air flow. Further, the vortex ring air flow can be blown farther, and at the same time, the heat exchange air distribution blown by the air distribution and air outlet channel 5, so that the air supply area is wider, the heat exchange efficiency is high, and the space temperature is more uniform. At the same time, the flow guide cover can also guide the vortex ring air flow, so that the vortex ring air flow gradually expands when blown out of the air supply port 221, and the vortex ring air flow can be blown farther and the radiation range is wider.

[0065] In an embodiment, as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the air supply port 221 of the flow collector 22 is provided with an adapter 23 connected with the air supply port 221, the adapter 23 is provided with a first mounting portion 231, and the end of the flow guide cover close to the air supply port 221 is provided with a second mounting portion 41, and the second mounting portion 41 is mounted on the first mounting portion 231.

[0066] In the embodiment, the adapter 23 and the flow collector 22 can be integrally formed, or can be separately formed, that is, can be connected in a detachable manner. The adapter 23 can be an adapter plate or an adapter sleeve sleeved on the periphery of the flow collector 22, and the specific structure is not limited here. It can be understood that if the adapter 23 is not provided, the flow guide cover and the flow collector 22 can be connected by sleeving, so that the air supply port 221 of the flow collector 22 will extend into the flow guide cover, thereby making the overall appearance inconsistent. And the sleeving connection is more difficult and unstable. By providing the adapter 23 on the flow collector 22 to connect the flow guide cover, the connection of the two is more convenient and easy to implement, and the overall appearance consistency can be ensured. In order to more facilitate the formation of vortex airflow, the airflow area of the opening of the adapter 23 to which the flow guide cover is connected is greater than the airflow area of the air supply port 221.

[0067] In an embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the first mounting portion 231 and the second mounting portion 41 are detachably connected. The first mounting portion 231 and the second mounting portion 41 can be mounting rings. The first mounting portion 231 and the second mounting portion 41 can be detachably connected by screws, clamping, glue bonding and the like. It can be understood that since the flow collector 22 and the flow guide 4 are separately arranged on the inner and outer sides of the panel 12, the detachable connection of the two can facilitate the disassembly, maintenance and replacement of the two.

[0069] It can be understood that the two opposite side plates 13 connected with the two sides of the panel 12 refer to the side plates 13 located on the left and right sides of the whole shell 1. A main air outlet 131 can be formed on one of the side plates 13, or main air outlets 131 can be formed on both of the side plates 13. In order to make the air outlet range wider and the air outlet area larger, it is preferred that main air outlets 131 are formed on both of the side plates 13. The shape of the main air outlet 131 can be circular, oval, strip-shaped, etc. In order to make the air outlet volume larger, it is preferred to be strip-shaped. The panel 12 and the two side plates 13 can be integrally formed, or can be separately formed. The main air inlet can be formed on the panel 12 and / or the two side plates 13, or can be formed on the rear panel 12 of the shell 1. By forming the main air outlet 131 on the side plate 13, the conventional air supply airflow will not affect the vortex airflow, so that the air outlet area is wide, the air supply distance is far, the air supply form is various, the airflow propagation efficiency is high, the room heat exchange efficiency is improved, the space temperature is more uniform, and the comfort is improved.
