[0005] Therefore, the wind passing area and / or wind passing area of ​​the front air outlet is adjusted by the movement of the second wind deflector along the width direction of the front air outlet; the wind passing area and / or wind passing area of ​​the side air outlet and / or the front air outlet are adjusted respectively by the movement of the first wind deflector, which can meet differentiated usage requirements and can reduce the size requirement of the air conditioner in the length direction of the front air outlet to a certain extent, and has a wide air outlet range, high reliability and strong practicality.

[0006] Optionally, the first windshield is a flexible windshield.

[0007] Therefore, compared with other windshield structures (such as rigid windshield plates), the wind pass regions and / or wind pass areas of the side air outlets and / or front air outlets are adjusted respectively by flexible windshield sheets, which occupies a small space and is convenient for folding and unfolding. In addition, there is no need to use a complicated disassembly and assembly structure to adjust the size of the windshield structure. The structure is simple and practical.

[0008] Optionally, the first wind shield plate and the second wind shield plate are both located on the inner side of the air conditioner.

[0051] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides an air conditioner, comprising a first wind shield 1, a second wind shield 2, a shell structure 3, and a side air outlet 311 and a front air outlet 312 respectively opened on two adjacent side walls of the shell structure 3; the second wind shield 2 is suitable for moving along the width direction of the front air outlet 312 to adjust the wind passing region and / or wind passing area of ​​the front air outlet 312; the first wind shield 1 is suitable for moving in a direction perpendicular to the width direction of the front air outlet 312 to adjust the wind passing region and / or wind passing area of ​​the side air outlet 311 and / or the front air outlet 312 respectively.

[0052] It should be noted that the side air vents 311 and the front air vents 312 can be used for air intake, such as in exhaust conditions; they can also be used for air outlet of the air conditioner. In this specification, the side air vents 311 and the front air vents 312 are used for air outlet to illustrate the contents of the present invention. By adjusting the wind pass area and / or wind pass region of the side air vents 311 and the front air vents 312, the air outlet area and the air outlet intensity are changed, thereby meeting the air outlet requirements of different positions and intensities.

[0053] It should be noted that the shell structure 3 may include a shell structure body and other structures arranged on the shell structure body. The shell structure body may include a front side wall, a left side wall, a right side wall, a top plate and a bottom plate. For example, in an air conditioner indoor unit, the shell structure 3 may include a base and a middle frame. The shell structure 3 may also refer to the entire shell structure of the air conditioner indoor unit, which will not be described in detail here. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in this specification, the side air outlet 311 and the front air outlet 312 are respectively opened on the first side wall 32 and the second side wall 33 of the shell structure 3, wherein the second side wall 33 is the front side wall, the first side wall 32 is the right side wall, the width direction of the front air outlet 312 is consistent with the Z-axis direction, and the width direction of the side air outlet 311 is consistent with the width direction of the front air outlet 312 as an example to illustrate the contents of the present invention.

[0054] It should be noted that, taking the second wind shield 2 as an example, a second wind shield 2 is provided at least at one end of the front air outlet 312 in the width direction, and installation space for the second wind shield 2 may be reserved at both ends of the front air outlet 312 in the width direction. Depending on the position of the second wind shield 2, the projection of the second wind shield 2 within the cross-section of the front air outlet 312 may be located outside the area covered by the front air outlet 312, or may be partially or completely located within the area covered by the front air outlet 312, so as to adjust the wind pass region and / or wind pass area of ​​the front air outlet 312.

[0055] like Figure 1As shown, in one embodiment, a first wind shield 1 is provided at least at one end of the side air outlet 311 in the length direction, and the first wind shield 1 moves along the length direction of the side air outlet 311 to adjust the wind passing region and / or wind passing area of ​​the side air outlet 311; in one embodiment, the first wind shield 1 is located at at least one end of the front air outlet 312 in the length direction, and the first wind shield 1 moves along the length direction of the front air outlet 312 to adjust the wind passing region and / or wind passing area of ​​the front air outlet 312; in one embodiment, the first wind shield 1 can adjust the wind passing region and / or wind passing area of ​​both the side air outlet 311 and the front air outlet 312, which will be described in detail later.

[0056] The advantage of such a configuration is that the wind passing region and / or wind passing area of ​​the front air outlet 312 can be adjusted by the movement of the second wind deflector 2 along the width direction of the front air outlet 312; the wind passing region and / or wind passing area of ​​the side air outlet 311 and / or the front air outlet 312 can be adjusted respectively by the movement of the first wind deflector 1, which can meet differentiated usage requirements and can reduce the size requirement of the air conditioner in the length direction of the front air outlet 312 to a certain extent, with high reliability and strong practicality.

[0057] In an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the first windshield plate 1 is a flexible windshield sheet 12 .

[0058] It should be noted that the flexible windshield 12 is at least partially made of flexible material, and the flexible material may be an elastic material, a foldable material or a rollable material, for example, it may be rubber, heat insulation cotton, sound insulation cotton or cloth.

[0059] The advantage of such a configuration is that, compared with other windshield structures (such as rigid windshield plates), the wind passing regions and / or wind passing areas of the side air outlets 311 and / or the front air outlets 312 are adjusted respectively through the flexible windshield plates 12, occupying little space and being convenient for folding and unfolding. In addition, there is no need to use a complicated disassembly and assembly structure to adjust the size of the windshield structure. The structure is simple and practical.

[0060] In the embodiment of the present invention, the first wind shield 1 and the second wind shield 2 are both located inside the air conditioner, that is, the first wind shield 1 and the second wind shield 2 are installed in a built-in manner.

[0061] The advantage of such a configuration is that the first wind shield 1 and the second wind shield 2 are installed in a built-in manner, thereby avoiding accidental touch and falling of the first wind shield 1 and the second wind shield 2 when they are installed on the outside of the air conditioner, and the configuration has high safety and strong practicality.

[0062] like Figure 1 and Figure 4As shown, in an embodiment of the present invention, it also includes a first sliding connection structure 4, which includes a first slide structure 41 and a first slider structure 42 slidingly connected to the first slide structure 41, and the first slide structure 41 is suitable for connecting with the shell structure 3; the first wind deflector 1 is provided with a first slider structure 42.

[0063] It should be noted that, in this specification, the content of the present invention is explained by taking the side air vent 311 opened on the right side wall of the shell structure 3 as an example, but it is not limited to this. For example, the side air vent 311 can be opened on the left side wall, right side wall, top plate or bottom plate of the shell structure 3.

[0064] For example, Figure 4 As shown, a guide groove is provided on one of the first slide structure 41 and the first slider structure 42, and a guide rail slidably connected to the guide groove is provided on the other of the first slide structure 41 and the first slider structure 42. The guide rail can be a cylindrical structure, which will be described in detail later.

[0065] In one embodiment, the shell structure 3 further includes a first mounting seat 61, which is detachably connected to the shell structure body, and the first slide structure 41 is connected to the first mounting seat 61. For example, they are integrally connected, so that the air conditioner is modularly assembled without directly setting the first slide structure 41 on the shell structure body, which reduces the structural complexity of the shell structure body and has strong practicality.

[0066] It should be noted that, in some embodiments, the first mounting seat 61 is a frame structure, and two first slide structures 41 are arranged on the frame structure; in some embodiments, a first slide structure 41 is arranged on the first mounting seat 61, and a first mounting seat 61 is distributed at each end in the width direction of the side air outlet 311.

[0067] Next, the present invention is described by taking the example that the movement direction of the first windshield plate 1 is perpendicular to the width direction of the front air outlet 312 (ie, perpendicular to the Z-axis direction) and the first slide structure 41 is disposed on the first mounting seat 61 .

[0068] In some embodiments, the positions of the two ends of the first slide structure 41 correspond to the positions of the side air outlet 311 and the front air outlet 312, respectively. The first slide structure 41 is a straight slide, and the first wind shield 1 moves along a straight line (not shown in the figure). The movement direction of the first wind shield 1 is at an angle with the side air outlet 311 and the front air outlet 312 (not shown in the figure). That is, when the first wind shield 1 slides on the first slide structure 41, the area covered by the projection of the first wind shield 1 in the cross section of the side air outlet 311 changes to adjust the wind passing area and / or wind passing area of ​​the side air outlet 311; and the area covered by the projection of the first wind shield 1 in the cross section of the front air outlet 312 also changes to adjust the wind passing area and / or wind passing area of ​​the front air outlet 312.

[0069] The advantage of such a configuration is that, through the sliding connection between the first slideway structure 41 and the first slider structure 42 , the movement of the first wind deflector 1 is guided, and the first wind deflector 1 moves reliably, has high stability, and is highly practical.

[0070] Next, the present invention will be described by taking the first windshield plate 1 as a flexible windshield sheet 12 as an example.

[0071] Exemplarily, one end of the flexible wind shield 12 is fixed, and the other end of the flexible wind shield 12 slides relative to the first mounting base 61 (not shown in the figure). During the movement, the flexible wind shield 12 partially blocks the wind outlet 311 and / or the front wind outlet 312, thereby adjusting the wind passing area and / or the wind passing area of ​​the side wind outlet 311 and the front wind outlet 312. At this time, the part of the flexible wind shield 12 used for wind blocking can be continuous or intermittent to meet different usage requirements, which will not be described in detail here.

[0072] In the embodiment of the present invention, first sliding block structures 42 are respectively provided at both ends of the first wind deflector 1 .

[0073] For example, Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the first slide structure 41 may include a first sub-slide structure 411 and a second sub-slide structure 412. The positions of the first sub-slide structure 411 and the second sub-slide structure 412 correspond to the positions of the side air outlet 311 and the front air outlet 312 respectively. The two ends of the flexible wind shield 12 are respectively provided with first slider structures 42 corresponding to the first sub-slide structure 411 and the second sub-slide structure 412.

[0074] like Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, exemplarily, the length direction of the first sub-slideway structure 411 is consistent with the length direction of the side air outlet 311 (i.e., the Y-axis direction in the figure), and the two ends of the first sub-slideway structure 411 in the length direction respectively exceed the two ends of the side air outlet 311 in the length direction; the length direction of the second sub-slideway structure 412 is consistent with the length direction of the front air outlet 312 (i.e., the X-axis direction in the figure), and the two ends of the second sub-slideway structure 412 in the length direction respectively exceed the two ends of the front air outlet 312 in the length direction. At this time, the two ends of the flexible windshield sheet 12 can move in the first sub-slideway structure 411 and the second sub-slideway structure 412 respectively, and the flexible windshield sheet 12 can obtain a larger windshield range in the length directions of the side air outlet 311 and the front air outlet 312.

[0075] The advantage of such a configuration is that the movement stability of the first windshield 1 is higher, and when the first windshield 1 is a flexible windshield 12, both ends of the flexible windshield 12 can move relative to the first slideway structure 41, which has more possibilities. For example, when one end of the flexible windshield 12 moves to the point where the flexible windshield 12 is tensioned, the other end of the flexible windshield 12 is driven to move on the first slideway structure 41. In another embodiment, both ends of the flexible windshield 12 are respectively connected to a driving structure, which will be described in detail later.

[0076] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in an embodiment of the present invention, the first slide structure 41 also includes a third sub-slide structure 413, and the first sub-slide structure 411, the third sub-slide structure 413 and the second sub-slide structure 412 are connected in sequence, and the third sub-slide structure 413 is located at an end adjacent to the side air outlet 311 and the front air outlet 312.

[0077] That is to say, the third sub-slideway structure 413 is located between the side air outlet 311 and the front air outlet 312. Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the third sub-slide structure 413 can be a curved slide. Taking the movement of one end of the flexible wind shield 12 close to the side air outlet 311 as an example, the first slider structure 42 of the end of the flexible wind shield 12 close to the side air outlet 311 passes through the first sub-slide structure 411 and the third sub-slide structure 413 in sequence to reach the second sub-slide structure 412. At this time, the flexible wind shield 12 leaves the area where the first side wall 32 is located and is entirely located in the area corresponding to the second side wall 33.

[0078] Preferably, the first slider structure 42 can slide and rotate relative to the first slide structure 41, and a guide groove is provided on the first slide structure 41, and a guide rail is provided on the first slider structure 42. At this time, the guide groove is preferably a continuous structure, and the guide rail is preferably a cylindrical structure. The cylindrical structure can be a guide column or a bearing, for example, a CF bearing.

[0079] In one embodiment, a guide rail is provided on the first slide structure 41, and a guide groove is provided on the first slider structure 42. In this case, the guide rail is preferably a continuous structure, and multiple first slider structures 42 are provided on the flexible wind shield 12. The guide groove on the first slider structure 42 can slide along the guide rail of the first slide structure 41; in another embodiment, a guide groove is provided on the first slide structure 41, and a guide rail is provided on the first slider structure 42. In this case, the guide groove is preferably a continuous structure, and the guide rail is preferably a cylindrical structure. The cylindrical structure can be a guide column or a bearing, for example, a CF bearing.

[0080] The advantage of such a configuration is that, by providing the third sub-slide structure 413, the flexible wind shield 12 can move as a whole relative to the first slide structure 41, and the position of the flexible wind shield 12 can be adjusted according to actual needs. The flexible wind shield 12 can be guided by the first slide structure 41 and move as a whole to the side air outlet 311 or the front air outlet 312, and the position of the flexible wind shield 12 can be adjusted according to actual needs. The material required for the flexible wind shield 12 can be reduced to a certain extent, thereby saving costs, reducing the space required for the flexible wind shield 12, and making it more convenient to operate during inspection and maintenance.

[0081] like Figure 4 As shown, in an embodiment of the present invention, a first driving assembly 51 is also included, and the first driving assembly 51 includes a first driving device 511 and a first transmission device 512; the first transmission device 512 is connected between the shell structure 3 and the first wind deflector 1 to transmit the movement of the first wind deflector 1, and the first driving device 511 is drivingly connected to the first transmission device 512, and the first driving device 511 drives the first wind deflector 1 to move by driving the first transmission device 512.

[0082] like Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment, the flexible wind shield 12 includes a first connecting seat 13 and a flexible telescopic member 14, and the end of the flexible telescopic member 14 close to the side air outlet 311 is connected to the first connecting seat 13, and the first connecting seat 13 is suitable for connecting with the first driving assembly 51; a first slider structure 42 is provided on the first connecting seat 13, and the first driving assembly 51 is suitable for realizing the movement of the flexible wind shield 12 along the length direction of the side air outlet 311.

[0083] In some embodiments, the flexible telescopic member 14 can be made of a material with good elasticity such as rubber, and can be extended and retracted through its own elastic energy; in other embodiments, the flexible telescopic member 14 can be extended and retracted through a tensioning structure and / or a winding structure, which will be described in detail later. In this way, through the sliding connection between the first slider structure 42 and the first slideway structure 41, the movement of the first connecting seat 13 along the length direction of the side air outlet 311 has a reliable motion guide. Under the drive of the first driving component 51, the flexible telescopic member 14 has high force stability when following the movement of the first connecting seat 13, avoiding the problem of uneven force caused by the direct connection of the flexible telescopic member 14 with the first driving component 51, and the reliability and stability of the movement of the flexible windshield 12 are high.

[0084] It should be noted that the first drive component 51 can be manually driven or electrically driven. In one embodiment, the first drive component 51 includes an electric push rod group (not shown in the figure), which drives the first wind deflector 1 to move through the telescopic movement of the electric push rod group. For example, the fixed end of the electric push rod group is connected to the shell structure 3, and the free end of the electric push rod group is connected to the first wind deflector 1. The telescopic direction of the electric push rod group is consistent with the length direction of the side air outlet 311.

[0085] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown ( Figure 3 and Figure 4 The second windshield 2 is not shown), and the structure of the first driving assembly 51 is described below by taking the first driving assembly 51 used to drive the first connecting seat 13 as an example.

[0086] When the first drive assembly 51 is used to drive the first connection seat 13 to move in a straight line direction, the first transmission device 512 can be a gear rack transmission device, a worm gear transmission device or a wire transmission device. According to different settings of the first transmission device 512, the first drive device 511 can be connected to the first connection seat 13 or to the housing structure 3, which will not be described in detail here. The first drive device 511 can be a manual drive device, for example, a rotating handle, or a motor. When the first driving assembly 51 is used to drive the first connecting seat 13 to move along the extension direction of the first slide structure 41, the first transmission device 512 can have multiple options. In one embodiment, the first transmission device 512 can adopt wire rope transmission (not shown in the figure). For example, the first transmission device 512 includes a turntable and a transmission rope, one end of the transmission rope is connected to the turntable, and the other end of the transmission rope is connected to the first connecting seat 13. When the turntable rotates so that the transmission rope is wound around the turntable, the first connecting seat 13 moves toward the side close to the turntable under the pull of the transmission rope. The first driving device 511 is used to drive the turntable to rotate. The first transmission device 512 can be set in multiple groups to realize the movement of the two ends of the first wind shield 1 respectively. Here, when the first slide structure 41 includes a first sub-slide structure 411, a second sub-slide structure 412 and a third sub-slide structure 413, the first connecting seat 13 may need to change the direction of movement (that is, turn), and a wire wheel needs to be set to guide and reverse the transmission rope. It will not be described in detail here.

[0087] The advantage of such a configuration is that the first wind deflector 1 can be moved by means of the transmission of the first transmission device 512 , and the movement of the first wind deflector 1 is driven by the first driving device 511 , which has high reliability and stability and strong practicality.

[0088] like Figure 4 As shown, the first transmission device 512 includes a first gear 5121 and a first rack 5122 meshing with the first gear 5121, the first rack 5122 is arranged on one of the shell structure 3 and the first wind deflector 1, the first gear 5121 is arranged on the other of the shell structure 3 and the first wind deflector 1, and the first driving device 511 is drivingly connected to the first gear 5121.

[0089] In one embodiment, if Figure 4 and Figure 6As shown, the contents of the present invention are illustrated by taking the first rack 5122 provided on the first mounting seat 61 and the first gear 5121 provided on the first connecting seat 13 as an example, an ear seat is provided on the first connecting seat 13, for example, the ear seat is located on the side of the first connecting seat 13 away from the side air outlet 311, and a first gear shaft is rotatably connected to the ear seat, the first gear shaft is connected to the first gear 5121, and the first driving device 511 is drivingly connected to the first gear shaft, for example, the output shaft of the first driving device 511 is connected to the end of the first gear shaft away from the first gear 5121, and the first driving device 511 can be a motor.

[0090] It should be noted that when the first rack 5122 is arranged on the flexible wind shield 12, the first gear 5121 is arranged on the shell structure 3, and the first slide structure 41 includes a third sub-slide structure 413, that is, when the movement path of the flexible wind shield 12 is not a linear motion, the first rack 5122 should have certain bending properties, such as using a nylon flexible rack, which is not described in detail here.

[0091] The advantage of such a configuration is that the transmission of the movement of the first wind deflector 1 is achieved through the meshing of the first gear 5121 and the first rack 5122, the transmission is stable, and compared with other transmission methods, the gear rack transmission is more convenient to disengage, the first wind deflector 1 is more convenient to disassemble and assemble, and has high reliability and strong practicality.

[0092] like Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, in an embodiment of the present invention, a second driving assembly 52 is also included. The first driving assembly 51 and the second driving assembly 52 are respectively connected to the two ends of the first windshield 1, and the first driving assembly 51 and the second driving assembly 52 are suitable for respectively realizing the movement of the two ends of the first windshield 1.

[0093] like Figures 3 to 7 As shown, the structure of the second driving component 52 driving the second connecting seat 15 to move is similar to or the same as the structure of the first driving component 51 driving the first connecting seat 13 to move, and will not be described in detail here.

[0094] like Figure 4 and Figure 6As shown, the flexible windshield 12 also includes a second connection seat 15, and one end of the flexible telescopic member 14 close to the front air outlet 312 is connected to the second connection seat 15, and the second connection seat 15 is suitable for connecting with the second drive assembly 52; the second connection seat 15 is provided with a first slider structure 42. In this way, the second connection seat 15 has a reliable motion guide through the sliding connection between the first slider structure 42 and the first slideway structure 41. Under the drive of the second drive assembly 52, the flexible telescopic member 14 has high force stability when following the movement of the second connection seat 15, avoiding the problem of uneven force caused by the direct connection of the flexible telescopic member 14 with the second drive assembly 52, and the movement of the flexible windshield 12 has high reliability and stability.

[0095] The advantage of such a configuration is that, under the action of the first drive component 51 and the second drive component 52, the first wind shield 1 can be moved as a whole with high stability, and when the first wind shield 1 is a flexible wind shield 12, the two ends of the flexible wind shield 12 can be moved separately to adjust the wind passing regions and / or wind passing areas of the side air outlet 311 and the front air outlet 312 respectively, and the adjustment is more convenient and quick. The wind passing regions and / or wind passing areas of multiple air outlets can be adjusted through the same flexible wind shield 12, and the structure is simple and practical.

[0096] like Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in the above embodiment, the first slideway structure 41 and the first rack 5122 are both disposed on the first mounting seat 61 , and the extension direction of the first rack 5122 is consistent with the extension direction of the first slideway structure 41 .

[0097] It should be noted that the extension direction of the first rack 5122 is consistent with the extension direction of the first slide structure 41. For example, when the first slide structure 41 includes the third sub-slide structure 413, the first rack 5122 also correspondingly includes a portion for transition.

[0098] The advantage of such a configuration is that, by arranging both the first slide structure 41 and the first rack 5122 on the first mounting seat 61, the extension direction of the first rack 5122 is consistent with the extension direction of the first slide structure 41, thereby realizing modular installation of the first wind deflector 1, and the guide structure and transmission structure of the first wind deflector 1 are both based on the first mounting seat 61, thereby reducing the difficulty of assembling the first wind deflector 1 to a certain extent.

[0099] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 8 and Fig. 9As shown, it also includes a second slide structure 43 and a second slider structure 44 slidably connected to the second slide structure 43 . The second slide structure 43 is suitable for connecting with the shell structure 3 , and the second wind deflector 2 is provided with the second slider structure 44 .

[0100] In one embodiment, the shell structure 3 includes a shell structure body and a second mounting seat 62, the second mounting seat 62 and the shell structure body are detachably connected, the second slide structure 43 is arranged on the second mounting seat 62, and the specific structure of the sliding connection between the second slider structure 44 and the second slide structure 43 is similar to the specific structure of the sliding connection between the first slider structure 42 and the first slide structure 41, and will not be described in detail here.

[0101] The advantage of such a configuration is that, through the sliding connection between the second slider structure 44 and the second slideway structure 43 , the movement guidance of the second wind deflector 2 is achieved, and the reliability and stability of the movement of the second wind deflector 2 are high.

[0102] like Figure 2 and Fig. 9 As shown, the third driving assembly 53 is also included, and the third driving assembly 53 includes a third driving device 531 and a third transmission device 532; the third transmission device 532 is connected between the shell structure 3 and the second windshield 2 to transmit the movement of the second windshield 2, and the third driving device 531 is drivingly connected to the third transmission device 532, and the third driving device 531 drives the second windshield 2 to move by driving the third transmission device 532. For example, the third transmission device 532 is connected between the second mounting seat 62 and the second windshield 2.

[0103] The third transmission device 532 includes a third gear 5321 and a third rack 5322 meshing with the third gear 5321. The third rack 5322 is disposed on one of the second mounting seat 62 and the second windshield plate 2. The third gear 5321 is disposed on the other of the second mounting seat 62 and the second windshield plate 2. The third driving device 531 is drivingly connected to the third gear 5321. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in the above embodiment, the installation and movement structure of the second wind deflector 2 is similar to the installation and movement structure of the first wind deflector 1, and will not be described in detail here.

[0104] The advantage of such a configuration is that the second wind deflector 2 can be moved by means of the transmission of the third transmission device 532 , and the movement of the second wind deflector 2 is driven by the third driving device 531 , which has high reliability and stability and strong practicality.

[0105] like Figure 8 and Fig. 9As shown, in the embodiment of the present invention, a avoiding structure 621 is provided between the second mounting seat 62 and the second side wall 33 , and the avoiding structure 621 is suitable for avoiding the first wind shield plate 1 .

[0106] It should be noted that, in one embodiment, the second mounting seat 62 includes a second mounting seat body 622 and a support 623, the second mounting seat body 622 and the support 623 are connected, the support 623 is suitable for connecting with the shell structure body or the first mounting seat 61, the second mounting seat body 622 is suitable for mounting the second wind deflector 2, for example, the second mounting seat body 622 is provided with a second slide structure 43 and / or a third rack 5322, the second mounting seat body 622 is spaced apart from the second side wall 33 to form a avoidance structure 621. The mounting structure of the second mounting seat 62 is not limited thereto, for example, it can also be mounted on the bottom plate and / or top plate of the shell structure 3, which will not be described in detail here.

[0107] The advantage of such a configuration is that, by providing the second mounting seat 62, the second wind shield 2 is modularly installed, and by providing the avoidance structure 621, interference between the movements of the first wind shield 1 and the second wind shield 2 is avoided, so the reliability is high and the practicability is strong.

[0108] In some embodiments, a first flange structure is provided on the first side wall 32, and the first flange structure is arranged around the circumference of the side air outlet 311. A second flange structure is provided on the second side wall 33, and the second flange structure is arranged around the circumference of the front air outlet 312. The first mounting seat 61 is connected to the first flange structure and the second flange structure respectively, and / or the second mounting seat 62 is connected to the second flange structure. Other structures can also be installed in the space surrounded by the first flange structure, and other structures, such as a wind sweeping plate, can also be installed in the space surrounded by the second flange structure.

[0109] The advantage of such a configuration is that, by providing the first flange structure and the second flange structure, the installation structure of the first mounting seat 61 and / or the second mounting seat 62 is compact, occupies little space, and avoids interference with the structure at the air outlet, and has high reliability and strong practicality.

[0110] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in an embodiment of the present invention, the flexible wind shield 12 also includes at least one supporting structure 16, which is used to connect with the flexible telescopic member 14, and the length direction of the supporting structure 16 is consistent with the width direction of the front air outlet 312, and a first slider structure 42 is arranged on the supporting structure 16.

[0111] It should be noted that, due to the flexible characteristics of the flexible windshield 12, the flexible windshield 12 is easily deformed by force or wind, and the support structure 16 is helpful to enhance the rigidity of the flexible windshield 12. In addition, the support structure 16 is used to connect with the flexible telescopic member 14, including but not limited to fixed connection, and can also be a pocket with at least one end open formed on the flexible telescopic member 14 for inserting the support structure 16, and can also be a structure provided on the support structure 16 for rolling up the flexible telescopic member 14.

[0112] The advantage of such a configuration is that the support structure 16 can support the flexible wind shield 12 along the width direction of the front air outlet 312, thereby enhancing the rigidity of the flexible wind shield 12 along the width direction of the front air outlet 312 to a certain extent, making it less likely to be deformed due to force or wind blowing, and can also guide the movement of the flexible wind shield 12, so that the flexible wind shield 12 has high stability and reliability.

[0113] like Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the support structure 16 includes a support rod 161, and a first slider structure 42 is disposed on the support rod 161. The position of the first slider structure 42 on the support rod 161 corresponds to the position of the first slideway structure 41.

[0114] The advantage of such a configuration is that, by providing a support rod 161, on which a first slider structure 42 for sliding connection with the first slide structure 41 is provided, the support rod 161 has a reliable motion guide, a simple supporting structure, and the flexible wind shield 12 has high movement stability and is not easily deformed by wind.

[0115] like Figure 6 and Fig.10 As shown, in an embodiment of the present invention, the flexible telescopic member 14 includes at least two flexible members 141, and all the flexible members 141 are distributed in sequence along the movement direction of the flexible wind shield 12. The support structure 16 is located between two adjacent flexible members 141 and is suitable for connecting two adjacent flexible members 141 respectively. The support structure 16 includes a support seat 162 and at least one winding device 163, and the winding device 163 is connected to the support seat 162. One of the winding devices 163 is connected to one end of one of the flexible members 141, and the winding device 163 is suitable for at least partially winding or unwinding the corresponding flexible member 141.

[0116] like Fig.10As shown, in one embodiment, a first slider structure 42 is provided on the support seat 162, a cavity structure is provided inside the support seat 162, a winding device 163 is provided inside the cavity structure, and the winding device 163 can be a coil spring, one end of the coil spring is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the cavity structure or the mounting shaft therein, and the other end of the coil spring is connected to the flexible member 141; the winding device 163 can also be other structures, for example, it can be a rotating shaft driven to rotate by a coil spring, and if there is enough space, an electric winding device can also be provided, which is not a limitation and will not be described in detail here.

[0117] The advantage of this arrangement is that, by providing the support seat 162 and the winding device 163, the flexible member 141 is always in a tensioned state during movement, and the support structure 16 can both support the flexible windshield 12 and play a tensioning role, with high reliability and strong practicality.

[0118] In the above embodiment, the side wall of the first slideway structure 41 is provided with a first damping protrusion 414. The first damping protrusion 414 increases the damping of the movement of the first slider structure 42.

[0119] Optionally, a plurality of first damping protrusions 414 are provided along the extension direction of the first slideway structure 41, and the plurality of first damping protrusions 414 can be equidistantly provided. A plurality of support structures 16 are provided along the length direction of the flexible windshield sheet 12, and the plurality of support structures 16 can be equidistantly provided. The first damping protrusions 414 can be used in conjunction with the support structures 16 to tension the flexible windshield sheet 12.

[0120] The advantage of such a configuration is that, by arranging the first damping protrusion 414 on the side wall of the first slide structure 41, the damping of the movement of the flexible wind shield 12 is increased through the first damping protrusion 414, so that the movement of the flexible wind shield 12 is more stable. On the other hand, the flexible wind shield 12 is tensioned to a certain extent, and has high stability and reliability.

[0121] like Figure 8 and Fig. 9 As shown, in the above embodiment, a damping limit structure 7 is also included, the damping limit structure 7 includes a first damping limit structure 71 located on the first wind shield 1 near the second wind shield 2, and / or includes a second damping limit structure (not shown) arranged on the second wind shield 2 near the front air outlet 312, and the damping limit structure 7 is suitable for increasing the damping of the movement of the first wind shield 1 and / or the second wind shield 2. But it cannot completely prevent the movement of the first wind shield 1 and / or the second wind shield 2.

[0122] Exemplarily, the first damping limit structure 71 may be a second damping protrusion. When the first windshield 1 includes a flexible windshield sheet 12, the first damping limit structure 71 may also be disposed on the support structure 16, such as the support seat 162; the second damping limit structure may be a second damping protrusion.

[0123] The advantage of such a setting is that when the first wind shield 1 moves to the avoidance structure 621, by setting the damping limit structure 7, the damping of the movement of the first wind shield 1 and the second wind shield 2 can be increased, the stability of the movement of the first wind shield 1 and the second wind shield 2 can be improved, and the vibration and noise can be avoided. When the first wind shield 1 is a flexible wind shield 12, the damping limit structure 7 can also tension the flexible wind shield 12 to a certain extent.

[0124] In the above embodiment, Figure 2 As shown, two side vents 311 are provided respectively on the left and right walls of the housing structure 3. For example, in a wall-mounted air conditioner indoor unit, such a setting can reduce interference with the original structure of the indoor unit.

[0125] The advantage of such a setting is that, on the one hand, the air outlet area of ​​the air conditioner is wider, and the wind passing area and / or wind passing area in multiple directions can be adjusted. On the other hand, the air outlet is adjusted along the length direction at the front air outlet 312 on the front side wall, which has little impact on the space of the entire shell structure 3 and is highly practical. In the above embodiment, the air conditioner can be a wall-mounted air conditioner, a duct air conditioner, a vertical air conditioner, etc., which will not be described in detail here.

[0126] Although the present invention is disclosed as above, the present invention is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention shall be subject to the scope defined by the claims.
