[0031] Unless otherwise stated, the term "plurality" means two or more.

[0032] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present disclosure can be combined with each other.

[0033] Combine Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 As shown, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides an air conditioner, comprising: an air conditioner main body 1; and a swing blade structure 2. The top of the air conditioner main body 1 is provided with an inclined surface 11; an air outlet 12 is provided on the inclined surface 11; and the swing blade structure 2 is rotatably disposed at the air outlet 12 to swing the air discharged from the air outlet 12.

[0034] Optionally, the air conditioner main body 1 can be used as follows Figure 1 The column-type air conditioner shown. The plane at the top of the air conditioner main body 1 is a slope 11. The slope 11 forms an inclination angle with the first horizontal plane 13. For example, the bottom surface of the base of the air conditioner main body 1 can be regarded as the first horizontal plane 13. The value range of the inclination angle is 10° to 45°. For example, the value range of the inclination angle is 15° to 40°. For example, the value range of the inclination angle is 20° to 35°. For example, the value range of the inclination angle is 25° to 30°. For example, the value range of the inclination angle is 27° or 28°. For example, an air outlet 12 is integrally formed on the slope 11. Providing an air outlet on the slope increases the air outlet angle of the air conditioner and increases the air outlet volume.

[0035] Optionally, a mounting cavity 14 is integrally formed in the air conditioner body 1. The opening of the mounting cavity 14 is arranged on the inclined surface 11. For example, the opening of the mounting cavity 14 can be regarded as the air outlet 12.

[0036] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the air conditioner disclosed in the present application can adjust the air outlet direction by setting a swing blade structure on the inclined air outlet of the air conditioner body, so that the swing blade structure rotates as a whole and the swing blades of the swing blade structure swing, thereby achieving the purpose of flexibly adjusting the air outlet direction and improving the user experience when using the air conditioner.

[0037] In some embodiments, combined Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the air conditioner further includes a top panel 4 and a lifting assembly 5. The top panel 4 is mounted above the air outlet 12. The first end 51 of the lifting assembly 5 is positioned at the edge of the mounting cavity 14, and the second end 52 of the lifting assembly 5 is movably connected to the top panel 4. When the lifting assembly 5 is raised or lowered, it drives the top panel 4 to open or close the air outlet 12.

[0038] Alternatively, as Figure 2 The back of the air conditioner main body 1 shown can be regarded as the back plate 15. For example, the top of the air conditioner main body 1 and the part of the air conditioner main body 1 where the higher end of the inclined surface 11 is located can be regarded as the back plate 15 of the air conditioner main body 1. Figure 2 The front of the air conditioner shown can be regarded as the front plate 16. For example, the top of the air conditioner and the part of the air conditioner main body 1 where the lower end of the inclined surface 11 is located can be regarded as the front plate 16 of the air conditioner main body 1.

[0039] Optionally, a receiving cavity 17 is integrally formed in the back plate 15 . Placing multiple lifting assemblies 5 in the receiving cavity 17 can be regarded as arranging the first ends 51 of the lifting assemblies 5 at the edge of the installation cavity 14 .

[0040] Optionally, the air conditioner further includes a mounting plate 61 , which is disposed on the cavity wall 171 of the accommodating cavity 17 of the back plate 15 , and the first end 51 of the lifting assembly 5 is disposed on the mounting plate 61 .

[0041] Optionally, a mounting plate 61 is integrally formed on the cavity wall 171 of the accommodating cavity 17 , or the mounting plate 61 is fixed to the cavity wall 171 of the accommodating cavity 17 by screws.

[0042] Optionally, the mounting plate 61 is arranged in the middle position, or the upper middle position, of the cavity wall 171 of the accommodating cavity 17. The first end 51 of the lifting assembly 5 is fixed to the mounting plate 61 by screws, and the second end 52 of the lifting assembly 5 is hinged to the top plate 4 through the through hole 172 at the top of the accommodating cavity 17. By arranging the lifting assembly in a hidden manner in the accommodating cavity, not only is the appearance neat and beautiful, but the lifting assembly will not affect the air outlet. In this embodiment, there is no specific limitation on the shape of the mounting plate 61, as long as the mounting plate 61 can play the role of fixing the lifting assembly 5. The mounting plate 61 can be made of rubber material.

[0043] In the disclosed embodiment, the mounting plate is first secured to the wall of the accommodating chamber, and then the lifting assembly is secured to the mounting plate. This prevents direct contact between the lifting assembly and the air conditioner body, reduces vibrations generated by the lifting assembly during the lifting process, and avoids damage to the air conditioner body. Furthermore, the lifting assembly's impact on airflow is minimized or eliminated, facilitating normal airflow from the air conditioner and allowing for flexible adjustment of the airflow angle.

[0044] Alternatively, as Figure 3 As shown, the lifting assembly 5 can be a bishituigan electric push rod manufactured by Longxiang (Hardware). The main body of the push rod can be considered the first end 51 of the lifting assembly 5, and the telescopic end of the push rod can be considered the second end 52 of the lifting assembly 5. When the second end 52 of the lifting assembly 5 rises, it drives the top plate 4 to open the air outlet 12; when the second end 52 of the lifting assembly 5 descends, it drives the top plate 4 to close the air outlet 12.

[0045] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the air conditioner disclosed in the present application can connect the air conditioner body and the top plate through a lifting assembly, so that when the second end of the lifting assembly rises or falls, the top plate is driven to open or close the air outlet, thereby further optimizing the lifting structure for opening the air outlet, and at the same time, facilitating the later maintenance of the lifting structure.

[0046] Optionally, combined Figure 3 As shown, there are multiple sets of lifting assemblies 5, arranged in an obtuse triangle. A horizontal section through the central axis of the multiple sets of lifting assemblies 5 forms an obtuse triangle, which can be considered a first horizontal plane 13. For example, there are three sets of lifting assemblies 5, each of which is arranged at the three corner points of the obtuse triangle.

[0047] Optionally, the second ends 52 of the multiple lifting assemblies 5 rise or fall to the same or different heights. When the second ends 52 of the multiple lifting assemblies 5 rise or fall to the same height, the top plate 4 is parallel to the inclined surface 11 of the air conditioner body 1, and the air volume and wind speed can be adjusted. When the second ends 52 of the multiple lifting assemblies 5 rise or fall to different heights, the top plate 4 is not parallel to the inclined surface 11 of the air conditioner body 1, and the air volume and wind speed can be adjusted, and the direction of the airflow can also be adjusted.

[0048] In the disclosed embodiment, multiple sets of lifting assemblies are respectively arranged at the three corners of the triangle, which can more stably drive the top plate to rise or fall. By adjusting the different rising heights of the second ends of the multiple sets of lifting assemblies, the top plate can be driven to rotate more flexibly to achieve the purpose of adjusting the air outlet direction. At the same time, the air outlet volume and wind speed value can also be adjusted. By driving the top plate with multiple sets of lifting assemblies, the drive structure is divided into multiple modules. When one module fails, it will not affect the user's use. At the same time, it is also convenient for later maintenance and reduces the cost of later replacement.

[0049] Optionally, combined Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the second end 52 of the lifting assembly 5 is hinged to the top plate 4. For example, the second end 52 of the lifting assembly 5 and the top plate 4 can be hinged to each other using a ball hinge. Figure 2 As shown, the shape of the top panel 4 is adapted to the air outlet 12. The top panel 4 is elliptical in shape. The side of the top panel 4 facing the air outlet 12 can be considered a first side 41. The hinged connection between the second end 52 of the lifting assembly 5 and the top panel 4 is spherical, and the hinged connection is located at the center of the first side 41 of the top panel 4. The hinged connection between the second end of the lifting assembly and the top panel allows the top panel to rotate more flexibly around the hinge, increasing the air outlet angle.

[0050] Optionally, combined Figure 5 As shown, certain parts of the lifting assembly 5 are made of elastic material.

[0051] Optionally, a deformable portion 53 is integrally formed on the second end 52 of the lifting assembly 5, and the deformable portion 53 can be regarded as a specific portion of the lifting assembly 5. The deformable portion 53 is located in the middle of the second end 52. For example, the deformable portion 53 is made of rubber.

[0052] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, a deformation portion made of elastic material is added to the lifting assembly. The deformation portion will deform when the lifting assembly rises, thereby balancing the force on the top plate during the rising process of the lifting assembly, avoiding damage to the top plate due to uneven force.

[0053] Optionally, combined Figure 4 、 Figure 5As shown, the air conditioner further includes a guide assembly 62. The guide assembly 62 is provided on the air conditioner body 1 to guide the second end 52 of the lifting assembly 5.

[0054] Optionally, the guide assembly 62 may be made of rubber material.

[0055] Optionally, the guide assembly 62 is disposed within the through hole 172, and the shape of the guide assembly 62 is adapted to the shape of the through hole 172. For example, the guide assembly 62 may be disposed within the through hole 172 by directly placing the guide assembly 62 within the through hole 172 or by bonding the guide assembly 62 within the through hole 172. A waist-shaped hole 621 is integrally formed on the guide assembly 62, and the second end 52 of the lifting assembly 5 passes through the waist-shaped hole 621 of the guide assembly 62 and is hingedly connected to the top plate 4.

[0056] In the disclosed embodiment, a guide assembly is provided within the through-hole to prevent the lifting assembly from directly contacting the air conditioner body, thereby avoiding damage to the air conditioner body. Furthermore, the deformation direction of the lifting assembly's deformable portion coincides with the length of the guide assembly's waist-shaped hole, thus guiding the lifting assembly.

[0057] In some embodiments, combined Figures 1 to 6 As shown, a wind-slowing depression 42 is provided on the side of the top plate 4 facing the air outlet 12. For example, the first side surface 41 of the top plate 4 is recessed away from the air outlet 12, and this depression can be considered the wind-slowing depression 42. For example, the first side surface 41 of the top plate 4 is integrally formed with the wind-slowing depression 42. The wind-slowing depression provided on the top plate blocks the air discharged from the air outlet, preventing the air from being discharged at a high speed, eliminating the noticeable wind sensation, and improving the user experience.

[0058] In some embodiments, combined Figures 1 to 6 As shown, a wind guide protrusion 43 is provided in the wind slowing concave 42. For example, the wind guide protrusion 43 is integrally formed in the wind slowing concave 42, and the wind guide protrusion 43 is in the shape of a long strip. The height of the middle position of the wind guide protrusion 43 gradually decreases towards the two ends of the wind guide protrusion 43 until the two ends of the wind guide protrusion 43 fit into the wind slowing concave 42. Figure 6 As shown, the cross-section of the wind guide protrusion 43 is triangular. The air discharged from the air outlet first passes through the slow wind depression to reduce its speed, and the wind guide protrusion guides the slower wind. The triangular wind guide protrusion is more conducive to dividing the slower wind into multiple winds, which can improve the user experience.

[0059] In some embodiments, combined Figures 1 to 6As shown, multiple air-guiding protrusions 43 are arranged in a divergent shape along a specific direction. For example, multiple air-guiding protrusions 43 are arranged along a specific direction, which can divide the wind with low wind speed in the slow wind recess 42 and form multiple wind flows, and disperse the multiple wind flows to the surroundings of the air-conditioning body 1. For example, the direction from the back panel 15 to the front panel 16 can be regarded as a specific direction. By arranging the multiple air-guiding protrusions in the slow wind recess in a divergent shape, the wind with low wind speed in the slow wind recess can be reduced in speed again. At the same time, multiple low-speed wind flows can be dispersed to the surroundings of the air-conditioning body, further expanding the wind outlet angle and improving the user experience.

[0060] In some embodiments, combined Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 7 As shown, the swing blade structure 2 is engaged with the air outlet 12 .

[0061] Optionally, a receiving cavity 17 is integrally formed in the front plate 16. The receiving cavity of the front plate 16 and the receiving cavity of the back plate 15 can be regarded as the same receiving cavity.

[0062] Optionally, the side wall between the accommodating cavity 17 and the installation cavity 14 is a partition side wall 18 , and the swing blade structure 2 is rotatably disposed on the partition side wall 18 and is located at the air outlet 12 .

[0063] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, by clipping the swing blade structure onto the partition side wall, the subsequent maintenance of the swing blade structure is facilitated, thereby reducing the subsequent maintenance cost.

[0064] In some embodiments, combined Figure 3 、 Figure 8 、 Figure 9 、 Figure 10 As shown, the swing blade structure 2 includes a swing blade assembly 20. A snap-fit ​​groove 22 is provided on the top and / or bottom of the swing blade assembly 20, or a snap-fit ​​groove 22 is provided on the inner side wall 23 and / or outer side wall 24 of the swing blade assembly 20.

[0065] Optionally, a snap-fit ​​groove 22 is provided on the top of the swing blade assembly 20 .

[0066] Optionally, a snap-fit ​​groove 22 is provided at the bottom of the swing blade assembly 20 .

[0067] Optionally, the top and bottom of the swing blade assembly 20 are integrally formed with a snap-fit ​​groove 22 .

[0068] Optionally, a snap-fit ​​groove 22 is provided on the inner side wall 23 of the swing blade assembly 20 .

[0069] Optionally, a snap-fit ​​groove 22 is provided on the outer side wall 24 of the swing blade assembly 20 .

[0070] Optionally, a snap-fit ​​groove 22 is integrally formed on the inner side wall 23 and the outer side wall 24 of the swing blade assembly 20 .

[0071] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, by providing a snap-fit ​​groove on the swing blade assembly, the swing blade assembly can be stably snap-fitted to the partition side wall.

[0072] Optionally, combined Figure 7 、 Figure 10 、 Figure 11 As shown, the partition side wall 18 includes a first partition wall 181 and a second partition wall 182. The end of the first partition wall 181 close to the bottom of the installation cavity 14 is a fixing portion 1811, and the end of the first partition wall 181 away from the bottom of the installation cavity 14 is a clamping portion 1812. The fixing portion 1811 of the first partition wall 181 is integrally formed with the bottom of the installation cavity 14. One end of the second partition wall 182 is a mounting portion 1821, and the other end of the second partition wall 182 is a clamping portion 1822. The mounting portion 1821 of the second partition wall 182 is detachably disposed on the front plate 16. For example, the mounting portion 1821 of the second partition wall 182 is fixed to the front plate 16 by screws. The clamping portion 1812 of the first partition wall 181 and the clamping portion 1822 of the second partition wall 182 form a clamping interlayer 183. When the pendulum blade assembly 20 is arranged in the clamping interlayer 183, the clamped portion 1812 of the first partition wall 181 is clamped in the clamping groove 22 at the bottom of the pendulum blade assembly 20, and the clamping portion 1822 of the second partition wall 182 is clamped in the clamping groove 22 at the top of the pendulum blade assembly 20.

[0073] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, by providing engaging grooves at two opposite positions on the swing blade assembly, the swing blade assembly can be more stably engaged with the partition side wall.

[0074] In some embodiments, combined Figures 8 to 12 As shown, the pendulum assembly 20 includes a pendulum ring 21 and a pendulum 25. A snap-fit ​​groove 22 is provided on the top and / or bottom of the pendulum ring 21, or a snap-fit ​​groove 22 is provided on the inner sidewall 23 and / or outer sidewall 24 of the pendulum ring 21; the pendulum 25 is rotatably provided on the pendulum ring 21.

[0075] Optionally, a snap-fit ​​groove 22 is provided on the top of the swing blade ring 21 .

[0076] Optionally, a snap-fit ​​groove 22 is provided at the bottom of the swing blade ring 21 .

[0077] Optionally, the top and bottom of the swing blade ring 21 are integrally formed with a snap-fit ​​groove 22 .

[0078] Optionally, a snap-fit ​​groove 22 is provided on the inner side wall 23 of the swing blade ring 21 .

[0079] Optionally, a snap-fit ​​groove 22 is provided on the outer side wall 24 of the swing blade ring 21 .

[0080] Optionally, a snap-fit ​​groove 22 is integrally formed on the inner wall 23 and the outer wall 24 of the swing blade ring 21 .

[0081] Optionally, the oscillating blade ring 21 is annular in shape. The oscillating blades 25 are fan-shaped. Hinge rods 27 are integrally formed at both ends of the oscillating blades 25 along their length. The end of the hinge rod 27, distal to the oscillating blade 25, is hingedly connected to the inner sidewall 23 of the oscillating blade ring 21 and is located in the middle. The oscillating blades 25 can rotate about the hinge rod 27 to achieve the purpose of swinging air.

[0082] In the disclosed embodiment, the blade assembly can achieve 360° rotation around the axis of the blade ring to achieve wind swinging. Furthermore, the blade assembly can also achieve wind swinging by rotating the blade within a small range around the hinge axis. The addition of a dual-rotation wind swinging mode to the blade assembly provides greater flexibility in wind swinging.

[0083] In some embodiments, combined Figures 7 to 11 As shown, the swing blade ring 21 and the air outlet 12 are arranged coaxially.

[0084] Optionally, when the air conditioner body 1 is a column-type air conditioner, the air conditioner body 1 is cylindrical. The inclined surface 11 at the top of the air conditioner body 1 is elliptical. The swing ring 21 is circular. The swing ring 21 is coaxial with the air conditioner body 1 and can rotate about the central axis of the air conditioner body 1 to achieve swing airflow.

The snap-fitting portion 1822 of the second partition wall 182 snaps into the snap-fitting groove 22 at the top of the swing ring 21, and the snap-fitting portion 1822 is circular. The air outlet 12 is integrally formed within the second partition wall 182. The end of the air outlet 12 located on the mounting portion 1821 is elliptical, matching the shape of the inclined surface 11; the end of the air outlet 12 located on the snap-fitting portion 1822 is circular, matching the shape of the swing ring 21. In this embodiment, the coaxial arrangement of the swing ring 21 and the end of the air outlet 12 located on the snap-fitting portion 1822 can be considered to be a coaxial arrangement of the swing ring 21 and the air outlet 12.

[0086] In the disclosed embodiment, by arranging the swing blade ring and the air outlet coaxially, not only the overall appearance of the air conditioner body is optimized, but also the swing blade ring can be flexibly rotated and connected to the air outlet, thereby increasing the air outlet speed of the air outlet.

[0089] Optionally, the clamped portion 1812 of the first partition wall 181 is integrally formed with a clamping protrusion 184. For example, the clamping protrusion 184 can be arranged in a circle along the edge of the clamped portion 1812 of the first partition wall 181, or a plurality of clamping protrusions 184 can be arranged along the edge of the clamped portion 1812 of the first partition wall 181.

[0090] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, a snap-fit ​​protrusion is provided at the air outlet. By setting the snap-fit ​​protrusion in the snap-fit ​​groove of the swing blade assembly, the swing blade assembly is snapped at the air outlet, thereby facilitating the flexible swinging of the swing blade assembly.

[0091] In some embodiments, combined Figure 9 、 Figure 10 、 Figure 12 As shown, the swing blade structure 2 further includes a driving assembly 26. The driving assembly 26 is disposed on the swing blade assembly 20; a driving end 261 of the driving assembly 26 drives the swing blade 25 of the swing blade assembly 20 to rotate.

[0092] Optionally, the driving assembly 26 is provided on the swing blade ring 21 , and the driving end 261 of the driving assembly 26 drives the swing blades 25 on the swing blade ring 21 to rotate.

[0093] Alternatively, the drive assembly 26 can be a bishituigan electric push rod manufactured by Longxiang (Hardware). The telescopic end of the push rod can be considered the drive end 261 of the drive assembly 26. The main body of the push rod is screwed to the outer wall 24 of the swing ring 21. The outer wall 24 of the swing ring 21 has a hole integrally formed therein, and the telescopic end of the push rod passes through the hole in the outer wall 24 and enters the swing ring 21.

[0094] Optionally, a notch 251 is integrally formed on one side of the pendulum blade 25 near the center of the pendulum blade 25. The pendulum blade 25 also includes a linkage rod 28.

The telescopic end of the electric push rod is disposed within the U-shaped groove 281, and the end of the linkage rod 28 provided with the U-shaped groove 281 is hingedly connected to the telescopic end of the electric push rod.

[0095] In the disclosed embodiments, the drive end of the drive assembly drives the swing blades of the swing blade assembly to rotate, thereby improving the degree of automation of the air conditioning swing. For example, the telescopic end of the electric push rod is hinged to the end of the linkage rod provided with a U-shaped groove. The electric push rod's telescopic movement pushes the linkage rod, which drives the swing blades to rotate about the hinge axis, facilitating the swing blades' rotation and airflow, and enhancing the user experience.

[0096] In some embodiments, combined Figure 7 、 Figure 10 As shown, the air conditioner further includes a rotating structure 3. The rotating structure 3 is arranged between the air conditioner body 1 and the swing blade structure 2, and drives the swing blade structure 2 to rotate.

[0097] Optionally, the rotating structure 3 is disposed in the accommodating cavity 17 .

[0098] In the disclosed embodiments, a rotating structure is added to the air conditioner's swing blade structure. This structure improves the air conditioner's automation and enhances the user experience. For example, locating the rotating structure within the accommodating cavity prevents it from being exposed to the airflow path of the air conditioner, thereby increasing its service life.

[0099] In some embodiments, combined Figure 7 、 Figure 10 As shown, the rotating structure 3 includes a rotating assembly 30. The rotating assembly 30 includes a fixed end and a rotating end; the fixed end of the rotating assembly 30 is set on the air conditioner body 1, and the rotating end of the rotating assembly 30 is rotatably connected to the swing blade structure 2.

[0100] Optionally, the fixed end of the rotating assembly 30 is disposed on the clamped portion 1812 of the first partition wall 181 and is located in the accommodating cavity 17 .

[0101] Optionally, the rotating end of the rotating assembly 30 drives the swing blade structure 2 to rotate.

[0102] In the disclosed embodiments, the automation level of the air conditioner is improved, and the user experience during use is enhanced.

[0103] In some embodiments, combined Figure 7 、 Figure 10 As shown, the rotating assembly 30 includes a rotating motor 31, a first gear 32, and a second gear 33. The rotating motor 31 includes a rotating shaft 311, which is mounted on the air conditioner body 1; the first gear 32 is mounted on the rotating shaft 311; and the second gear 33 is mounted on the swing blade structure 2 and meshes with the first gear 32.

[0104] Alternatively, the rotating motor 31 can be considered the fixed end of the rotating assembly 30. The rotating shaft 311 of the rotating motor 31 can be considered the output shaft of the rotating motor 31. The rotating shaft 311 of the rotating motor 31, the first gear 32, and the second gear 33 can be collectively considered the rotating end of the rotating assembly 30.

[0105] Optionally, the rotating motor 31 may be a motor of model GA12-N20B produced by Aulon.

[0106] Optionally, the rotating motor 31 is secured to the clamped portion 1812 of the first partition wall 181 using screws. The first gear 32 is coaxially arranged with the rotating shaft 311 of the rotating motor 31 and is welded to the rotating shaft 311 of the rotating motor 31. The second gear 33 is coaxially arranged with the oscillating blade ring 21 and has a hole integrally formed therein. The second gear 33 is sleeved on the outer wall 24 of the oscillating blade ring 21. By positioning the oscillating blade ring 21 within the hole in the second gear 33, the second gear 33 is sleeved on the outer wall 24 of the oscillating blade ring 21. The second gear 33 is welded to the outer wall 24 of the oscillating blade ring 21. The first gear 32 meshes with the second gear 33.

[0107] In the disclosed embodiment, the rotating assembly is modularized. When one module fails, only the failed module needs to be replaced, reducing subsequent maintenance costs. At the same time, the automation level of the air conditioner is improved, which enhances the user experience.

[0108] The structure of the air conditioner in an exemplary embodiment:

[0109] In this exemplary embodiment, Figures 1 to 12 As shown, the air conditioner main body 1, the air inlet grille 63, the fan 64 and the evaporator 65 can all adopt the corresponding structures of the existing column-type air conditioner.

[0110] The top plate 4 is arranged at the air outlet 12 of the air-conditioning body 1. The space between the middle and the bottom of the installation cavity 14 is provided with an evaporator 65, a fan 64 and an air inlet grille 63. The space between the middle and the top of the installation cavity 14 in the air-conditioning body 1 is provided with a lifting assembly 5. The rear shell of the air-conditioning body 1 is integrally formed with an air inlet 151, and the air inlet grille 63 is snapped onto the air inlet 151. For example, directly placing the air inlet grille 63 into the air inlet 151 can be regarded as completing the snap-on connection between the air inlet grille 63 and the air inlet 151. The fan 64 is fixed to the bottom of the installation cavity 14 by screws, and the air inlet of the fan 64 is facing the air inlet 151. The fan 64 can draw air from the air inlet 151 into the installation cavity 14, thereby increasing the air flow in the installation cavity 14. The evaporator 65 is fixed to the cavity wall 171 of the installation cavity 14 by screws, and is located above the fan 64. The evaporator 65 can be used as follows Figure 3The tilted arrangement shown is shown. A housing cavity 17 is integrally formed within the back panel 15. This cavity 17 accommodates three sets of lifting assemblies 5, which are arranged in an obtuse triangle. A mounting plate 61 is screwed to the wall 171 of the cavity 17 and is located in the middle of the wall 171. The first end 51 is screwed to the mounting plate 61, while the second end 52 is hingedly connected to the top panel 4 through a through-hole 172 at the top of the cavity 17.

[0111] For example, when the user wants to swing the wind flexibly, the user only needs to drive the rotating shaft 311 of the rotating motor 31 to rotate. The rotation of the rotating shaft 311 drives the first gear 32, and the rotation of the first gear 32 drives the second gear 33 to rotate. The second gear 33 drives the swing blade ring 21 to rotate, thereby realizing flexible swinging of the swing blade assembly.

[0112] Or, when the user wants to swing the wind flexibly, the user only needs to drive the driving end 261 of the driving component 26 to extend, and push the end of the linkage rod 28 with a U-shaped groove 281 to move. The end of the linkage rod 28 set in the notch 251 of the swing blade 25 drives the swing blade 25 to rotate with the hinge rod 27 as the axis, so that the swing blade can swing the wind flexibly.
