[0036] 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.

[0037] 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 components under a certain specific posture. If the specific posture changes, the directional indications will also change accordingly.

[0038] In addition, if there are descriptions involving "first", "second", etc. in the embodiments of the present invention, the descriptions of "first", "second", etc. are only for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features. Therefore, the features specified as "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of such features. In addition, the technical solutions between the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but this must be based on the fact that ordinary technicians in this field can implement them. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be deemed that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection required by the present invention.

[0039] The present invention proposes an air-conditioning indoor unit, which 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.

[0040] In the embodiment of the present invention, Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the air-conditioning indoor unit includes: a shell 10, the shell 10 is provided with a first air outlet 11, a first air duct 12 connected to the first air outlet 11, a second air outlet 13 and a second air duct 14 connected to the second air outlet 13; the cavity wall of the first air duct 12 is provided with a diversion port 121 for connecting the first air duct 12 and the second air duct 14; a fan 20 is installed in the first air duct 12; a valve 30 is movably installed at the diversion port 121 to open or close the diversion port 121; a front panel 40 is provided at the second air outlet 13, and the front panel 40 is movable in the air outlet direction of the second air outlet 13 to open or close the second air outlet 13.

[0041] In this embodiment, the shell 10 extends as a whole in the up-down direction, and the horizontal cross-sectional shape of the shell 10 can be circular, elliptical, rectangular, etc., which can be selected according to actual use requirements and are not specifically limited here. The shape of the first air outlet 11 and the second air outlet 13 can be a long rectangular strip, or a long elliptical strip, etc. The long air outlet can increase the air supply volume and air supply range. The wind wheel can be a cross-flow wind wheel. Since the wind wheel is installed in the first air duct 12, the air flow generated by the wind wheel mainly flows to the first air outlet 11. The first air duct 12 is adjacent to the second air duct 14 and shares part of the air duct cavity wall. It can be understood that the shell 10 can also include a volute and a volute tongue for forming the first air duct 12. The wind wheel is arranged in the volute, and the diversion port 121 can be opened in the volute. The movement mode of the valve 30 can be translational or rotation, which is not limited here. It is only necessary that the valve 30 can open or close the diversion port 121. After the valve 30 opens the diversion opening 121, a portion of the plate body can be located within the first air duct 12, thereby directing the airflow from the first air duct 12 toward the second air duct 14. It should be noted that when the valve 30 moves toward the first air duct 12 to open the diversion opening 121, the valve 30 located within the first air duct 12 does not block the first air duct 12. Instead, it diverts part of the airflow to the second air duct 14. As a result, air can be blown out from both the first air outlet 11 and the second air outlet 13 simultaneously, thereby increasing the air outlet area of ​​the air conditioner indoor unit.

[0042] When the front panel 40 moves to open the second air outlet 13, the front panel 40 can be located inside the second air outlet 13 or outside the second air outlet 13. There is no restriction here, as long as the front panel 40 moves along the air outlet direction. When the front panel 40 opens the second air outlet 13, a side flow gap is formed between the front panel 40 and the edge of the second air outlet 13. The side flow gap can be formed between the front panel 40 and the horizontal edge of the second air outlet 13, or between the front panel 40 and the vertical edge of the second air outlet 13. For example, the side flow gap can be formed between the front panel 40 and the long edge of the second air outlet 13. Therefore, regardless of whether the second air outlet 13 extends horizontally or longitudinally, the length of the side flow gap can be increased to increase the air output of the side flow gap. The front panel 40 may form only one side flow gap with one edge of the second air outlet 13, or may form multiple side flow gaps with multiple edges of the second air outlet 13, without limitation. Specifically, the air conditioner indoor unit is a floor-standing air conditioner indoor unit, the second air outlet 13 extends along the height direction of the housing 10, and side flow gaps are formed between the front panel 40 and the vertical edges of the second air outlet 13.

[0043] When the air conditioner indoor unit is working, if the user needs a concentrated air outlet mode, the valve 30 can be controlled to close the diversion port 121 so that all the airflow is blown out from the first air outlet 11; if the user needs a mode with a large air outlet range and a windless effect, the valve 30 can be controlled to open the diversion port 121 so that part of the airflow flows to the second air duct 14 and finally flows out from the side flow gap. It can be understood that the air outlet direction of the side flow gap is toward the side of the second air outlet 13, that is, the wind blown out from the side flow gap will not blow directly forward to the human body, so as to achieve wind outlet feeling; and since the airflow in the first air duct 12 is partially diverted, the air volume and wind speed blown out from the first air outlet 11 will also be reduced accordingly; thereby, the air volume is guaranteed and the breeze or windless air outlet is achieved.

[0044] The air conditioner indoor unit of the present invention opens a diversion port 121 on the cavity wall of the first air duct 12 and sets a valve 30 at the diversion port 121. When the valve 30 opens the diversion port 121, the air flow generated by the fan 20 in the first air duct 12 can flow to the second air duct 14 through the diversion port 121 and then blown out from the second air outlet 13. Since the front panel 40 opens the second air outlet 13 along the opening direction of the second air outlet 13, a side flow gap will be formed between the front panel 40 and the edge of the second air outlet 13 after opening. Since the air outlet direction of the side flow gap is different from that of the second air outlet 13, the air can be prevented from blowing directly onto the human body. The air flow in the first air duct 12 has been partially diverted, so the air volume flowing out of the first air outlet 11 can be reduced. As a result, the air outlet range is expanded and the windless air outlet effect is achieved.

[0045] like Figure 3 As shown, when the front panel 40 opens the second air outlet 13, the front panel 40 is located outside the second air outlet 13. In this embodiment, the front panel 40 can be moved outward from the second air outlet 13 to open the second air outlet 13, and a side flow gap is formed between the front panel 40 and the two vertical edges of the second air outlet 13. As a result, the airflow flowing through the second air outlet 13 can be split by the side flow gaps and flow in opposite directions, thereby further expanding the air outlet range.

[0046] like Figures 3 to 5As shown, the air conditioner indoor unit also includes a swirl module 50 disposed at the second air outlet 13. The swirl module 50 is located on the windward side of the front panel 40. When the front panel 40 opens the second air outlet 13, a flow gap 51 is formed between the front panel 40 and the swirl module 50. In this embodiment, the overall shape of the swirl module 50 matches the shape of the second air outlet 13. The swirl module 50 is used to allow airflow to pass through and diffuse the airflow passing through it. That is, after passing through the swirl module 50, the airflow changes its original flow direction and flows in different directions, thereby achieving a diffused flow of wind and achieving a breeze or no wind effect. The swirl module 50 can include a swirl impeller 53 or a wind dispersion grille, as long as it can diffuse the airflow passing through it. The airflow flowing through the second air outlet 13 is dispersed and expanded by the swirl module 50, and then flows out of the flow gap 51, and flows out through the side flow gap at most, further reducing the wind speed of the airflow and improving the breeze or no wind effect.

[0047] like Figure 5 As shown, the swirl module 50 includes a mounting plate 52 and a swirl wind wheel 53. The mounting plate 52 is provided with a mounting through hole 521, and the swirl wind wheel 53 is provided in the mounting through hole 521. In this embodiment, the swirl wind wheel 53 can be fixedly mounted at the mounting through hole 521, or can be rotatably mounted at the mounting through hole 521. For example, the swirl wind wheel 53 can be an axial flow wind wheel, and the blades of the swirl wind wheel 53 are curved, or are arranged at an angle to the air inlet direction, so that the air flow passing through the swirl wind wheel 53 forms a swirl, or the air inlet direction is inconsistent with the air outlet direction. In this way, the outgoing air flow can be effectively broken up and stirred, making the outgoing air softer, with less wind resistance and wind loss, so as to effectively increase the wind-free air volume.

[0048] The front panel 40 is made of a translucent material. In conjunction with the aforementioned embodiment of the swirl module 50, the user can observe the operation of the swirl module 50 through the translucent front panel 40, providing a more intuitive understanding of the swirl module 50's operation and enabling the user to better control the operation of the air conditioner indoor unit. Specifically, a light source is provided on the air outlet side of the swirl module 50 to facilitate a clearer observation of the swirl module 50. In conjunction with the aforementioned embodiment of the mounting hole 521, the light source can be located within the wall of the mounting hole 521 to avoid obstructing airflow.

[0049] like Figure 2As shown, the air conditioner indoor unit further includes a damper 60 for opening or closing the first air outlet 11. In this embodiment, the damper 60 can be moved away from the second air outlet 13 to open the first air outlet 11, thereby preventing the damper 60 from blocking the second air outlet 13 after opening the first air outlet 11. When the air conditioner indoor unit is turned off, the damper 60 closes the first air outlet 11 and the front panel 40 closes the second air outlet 13 to prevent foreign matter from entering the housing 10 while maintaining the integrity of the housing 10.

[0050] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the housing 10 is further provided with an air outlet slit 15 connected to the first air duct 12, and the damper 60 switches between opening and closing the first air outlet 11 and the air outlet slit 15. In this embodiment, the damper 60 closes the air outlet slit 15 when opening the first air outlet 11, and opens the air outlet slit 15 when closing the first air outlet 11. When the valve 30 opens the diversion port 121, the damper 60 closes the first air outlet 11 and opens the air outlet slit 15 at the same time, so that air flows out from both the air outlet slit 15 and the side flow gap. The air outlet area of ​​the air outlet slit 15 is smaller than that of the first air outlet 11, and the airflow in the first air duct 12 has been partially diverted. Therefore, the air outlet slit 15 can meet the air output of the first air duct 12. In addition, the air outlet gap 15 can be located on the side of the first air outlet 11 away from the second air outlet 13, thereby further expanding the overall air outlet range of the air conditioner indoor unit, while avoiding mutual obstruction of the air flow and ensuring smooth air outlet.

[0051] like Figure 3 The windward surface of the front panel 40 is a concave arc surface. In this embodiment, the windward surface of the front panel 40 is the side facing the second air outlet 13. The windward surface is a concave arc surface, which can make the airflow turn more gently and smoothly when passing through the front panel 40, thereby avoiding airflow turbulence and reducing air volume loss; in addition, the concave arc surface can also guide the turned airflow toward the oblique rear of the front panel 40, further preventing the airflow from directly blowing on the human body, thereby improving the breeze feeling or the windless feeling effect. Specifically, as Figure 5 As shown, the air conditioner indoor unit further includes a reinforcing plate 70 connected to the windward side of the front panel 40. The reinforcing plate 70 is used to increase the structural strength of the front panel 40, thereby improving the stability of the front panel 40 during operation and extending the service life of the front panel 40. In conjunction with the above-mentioned embodiment in which the front panel 40 is light-transmissive, the reinforcing plate 70 can be provided with an observation hole corresponding to the swirl impeller 53 of the swirl module 50, so that a user can properly observe the swirl module 50.

[0052] like Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown. The air-conditioning indoor unit also includes a driving device 80 for driving the front panel 40 to move. In this embodiment, the driving device 80 can realize the automatic movement of the front panel 40, and the driving device 80 is installed in the shell 10 to play a hiding and protection role. The driving device 80 can be connected to the end of the front panel 40, or it can be connected to the middle of the front panel 40. There is no restriction here, and it only needs to be able to drive the front panel 40 to move. For example, the number of driving devices 80 can be two, and the upper and lower ends of the front panel 40 are connected to the driving device 80, so that the driving force can be increased and the force on the front panel 40 can be more uniform.

[0053] like Figure 7 As shown, the drive device 80 includes a drive motor 81 mounted on the housing 10 and a slide 82 movably connected to the housing 10. The drive motor 81 is connected to a gear 83, and the slide 82 is provided with a rack 84. The gear 83 meshes with the rack 84 to drive the slide 82. The front end of the slide 82 is connected to the front panel 40. In this embodiment, the slide 82 defines a transmission slot. The rack 84 is disposed on the slot wall and extends in the air outlet direction. The gear 83 is disposed within the transmission slot and meshes with the rack 84. Thus, the rotation of the drive shaft of the drive motor 81 is converted into movement of the front panel 40 via the gear 83 and the rack 84. This simplifies the internal structure of the drive device 80, thereby reducing the space occupied by the drive device 80.

[0054] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, there are two first air outlets 11, which are disposed on both sides of the second air outlet 13 in the horizontal direction. There are two first air ducts 12, which are respectively connected to the two first air outlets 11. The second air duct 14 is formed between the walls of the two first air ducts 12. There are two fans 20, which are disposed in the two first air ducts 12. The walls of the two first air ducts 12 are each provided with a diversion opening 121. The valve 30 is provided at each diversion opening 121. In this embodiment, in combination with the above-mentioned embodiment of the volute and volute tongue, the volute and volute tongue can be provided in two groups, with the two fans 20 disposed in the two volutes. The second air duct 14 is disposed between the two volutes, and the rear ends of the two volutes abut against each other so that the outer walls of the two volutes enclose the second air duct 14. By configuring the air conditioner indoor unit for dual cross-flow outlet, the outlet area and range can be further increased while ensuring the air volume.

[0055] The present invention further provides an air conditioner comprising an outdoor unit and an indoor unit. The specific structure of the indoor unit is similar to that of the above-described embodiments. Since the present air conditioner utilizes all the technical solutions of all the above-described embodiments, it at least has all the beneficial effects brought about by the technical solutions of the above-described embodiments, and thus will not be described in detail here. The outdoor unit and the indoor unit are connected by a refrigerant pipe.

[0056] The above descriptions are merely optional embodiments of the present invention and do not limit the patent scope of the present invention. All equivalent structural transformations made using the contents of the present description and drawings under the inventive concept of the present invention, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
