Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of air conditioning, for example, to a vertical air conditioner. Background Art

[0002] With the development of air conditioning technologies, air conditioning products are constantly being updated and upgraded. Looking at the evolution of air conditioner models, the earliest models were integrated window units, and now split units are the mainstream. Floor-standing and wall-mounted air conditioners are two important subtypes of split units today. As the names suggest, floor-standing air conditioners have a column-shaped internal structure and are placed on the ground, while wall-mounted air conditioners are suspended from the wall using components such as backplate brackets. In recent years, air conditioner manufacturers have introduced a new type of floor-standing air conditioner with a bladeless air outlet design, such as Haier Group's "Tianzun" air conditioner series.

[0003] The existing vertical air conditioner adopts a bladeless air outlet design, and its structure mainly includes an air duct arranged inside the casing, a centrifugal fan driven by wind, and an annular air outlet arranged on the casing; its working method is that the heat-exchanged air is blown out from the periphery of the annular air outlet through the internal air duct, and at the same time, the indoor air flow that has not passed through the heat exchanger flows in from the air inlet side of the annular air outlet. The two air flows are mixed to form a uniform airflow, which is then blown out into the indoor environment.

[0004] During the implementation of the embodiments of the present disclosure, it was found that at least the following problems exist in the related art:

[0005] In the above-mentioned vertical air conditioner, the path from the internal air duct to the annular air outlet is mainly concentrated in the middle and rear part of the annular air outlet, so that the mixed airflow is generally discharged mainly in the axial straight line direction defined by the annular air duct, and the airflow blown out in other circumferential directions is less, and the airflow coverage range is narrow, so the air supply form is relatively simple.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0060] In order to be able to understand the features and technical content of the embodiments of the present disclosure in more detail, the implementation of the embodiments of the present disclosure is described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0064] The term "and / or" describes an association between objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B means: A or B, or A and B.

[0065] Figure 1a and Figure 1b They are schematic diagrams of the overall structure of the vertical air conditioner provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure from different perspectives, Figure 2 It is a side sectional view of a vertical air conditioner provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0066] Combine Figure 1a 、 Figure 1b and Figure 2 As shown, the embodiment of the present disclosure provides a vertical air conditioner, which mainly includes an air conditioner body and an air guide assembly arranged on the air conditioner body; the air conditioner body includes a casing 1 and an internal air duct 5 formed inside the casing 1, and an annular bladeless air supply port 21 arranged above the casing 1, and the air guide assembly cooperates with the air supply port 21 and the internal air duct 5 to at least achieve the function of circumferential large-angle air supply adjustment.

[0067] Combine Figure 1a 、 Figures 1b to 4 The overall structure of the air-conditioning body is explained. In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the air-conditioning body includes a column-type casing 1, wherein the upper part of the casing 1 is configured with an air supply port 21, and the lower part of the back side is configured with an air inlet 22. The internal space between the air supply port 21 and the air inlet 22 of the casing 1 is defined as an internal air duct 5. In this embodiment, the internal air duct 5 at least accommodates components such as a fan 61 and a heat exchanger 62, wherein the fan 61 is used to drive the air flow to flow from the air inlet 22 to the air supply port 21, and the heat exchanger 62 is arranged on the air flow path, so that the air flow can exchange heat when flowing through the heat exchanger 62, thereby playing the role of cooling the air flow in the cooling mode or heating the air flow in the heating mode. The air flow after heat exchange is blown out through the air supply port 21.

[0068] Optionally, the fan 61 is a centrifugal fan 61 .

[0069] Figure 3 This is an exploded structural diagram of a vertical air conditioner provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 4 It is an axial cross-sectional view of the vertical air-conditioning air outlet 21 provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0070] In this embodiment, the air outlet 21 extends horizontally through the airframe from front to back, with the back side corresponding to the air inlet and the front side corresponding to the air outlet. Normal-temperature air can flow through the air outlet 21 from back to front, mixing with the heat-exchanged airflow from the internal air duct 5 as it passes through, and then both are blown out into the indoor environment. Optionally, the overall contour of the air outlet 21 is approximately annular, and the annular shape can be at least one of a standard circular ring, an elliptical ring, a runway ring, and a square ring. FIG1 of this embodiment shows an air outlet 21 in the form of a standard circular ring.

[0071] The air outlet 21 adopts a bladeless design. One or more hollow annular air outlet plates 211 are arranged along the axial direction on the inner periphery of the air outlet 21. One or more air outlet gaps 212 are formed between adjacent annular air outlet plates 211 and between the annular air outlet plates 211 and the side edges of adjacent air outlets 21. The air outlet gaps 212 are connected to the internal air duct 5 so that the heat-exchanged airflow sent out from the internal air duct 5 can be blown out to the air outlet 21 through the air outlet gaps 212 and then mixed with the normal temperature airflow. In this embodiment, the inner ring edge of the annular air outlet is flush with the inner periphery of the air outlet 21 or slightly protrudes inward from the inner periphery, and the outer ring edge extends to the internal air duct 5. Since the air outlet gap 212 is also limited to an annular shape, the heat-exchanged airflow is blown out to the air outlet 21 from various positions along the entire inner periphery. In this embodiment, the annular air outlet plate 211 is arranged obliquely toward the air outlet side, so that when the airflow flows through the air outlet gap 212, its wind direction tends to be toward the air outlet side.

[0072] Figure 5 is a schematic diagram of the composition of the air guide assembly provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure, Figure 6 is a perspective view of the first air guide member 31 provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure, Figure 7 is a side view of the first air guide member 31 provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure;

[0073] In some optional embodiments, combined with Figures 5 to 7 As shown, the air guide assembly includes a first air guide component 31, which can be used to achieve large circumferential angle air supply on the air outlet side of the air outlet 21 after heat exchange.

[0074] Here, the first air guide component 31 is arranged on the air outlet side of the air supply port 21, and the first air guide component 31 and the air outlet side are jointly formed to form an air guide gap 313. The air inlet side of the air guide gap 313 is connected to the internal air duct 5 of the air-conditioning body, so that the airflow in the internal air duct 5 can be blown out through the air guide gap 313. At the same time, the air guide gap 313 is arranged at an angle to the axial direction of the air supply port 21, so that the airflow after blowing out is blown out in an oblique direction intersecting with the air supply port 21, thereby realizing air supply in the circumferential direction.

[0075] In this embodiment, the first air guide member 31 can be telescopically moved relative to the air outlet side of the air supply port 21, and its telescopic movement direction is along the axial direction of the air supply port 21. The telescopic movement position state at least includes extending outward toward the front side to the first position and contracting toward the rear side to the second position, wherein when the first air guide member 31 moves to the first position, the first air guide member 31 gradually moves away from the air supply port 21, and when moving to the second position, the first air guide member 31 gradually approaches the air supply port 21. Here, when the first air guide member 31 moves to the first position, the first air guide member 31 is farthest from the air supply port 21, and the air guide gap 313 formed by the first air guide member 31 and the air outlet side of the air supply port 21 is in a state of maximum air outlet area, as shown in FIG. Figure 10a As shown; When the first air guide member 31 moves to the second position, the air guide gap 313 is closest to the air outlet 21. At this time, the first air guide member 31 is in contact with the peripheral edge of the air outlet side of the adjacent air outlet 21, and the air guide gap 313 is completely closed or only a small gap is left. No airflow or only a small amount of airflow is blown out of the air guide gap 313, as shown. Figure 10b shown.

[0076] By adjusting the position of the first air guide component 31, the on / off control of the axial air supply function of the vertical air conditioner can be achieved. For example, when circumferential air supply is required, the first air guide component 31 can be controlled to move from the second position to the first position, so that it is in the first position, or a position between the first position and the second position, to open the air guide gap 313, and the air flow can be supplied circumferentially along the air guide gap 313; when circumferential air supply is not required, the first air guide component 31 can be controlled to be in the second position, at which time the air guide gap 313 is closed, and no air flow is supplied circumferentially along the air guide gap 313.

[0077] At the same time, by adjusting the actual position of the first air-guiding component 31 relative to the first position and the second position, the air outlet area of ​​the air-guiding gap 313 is changed, thereby realizing the adjustment of the circumferential air supply volume delivered through the air-guiding gap 313; generally, the closer the position of the first air-guiding component 31 is to the first position, the larger the aperture width of the air-guiding gap 313, the increased air supply area, and the increased circumferential air supply volume can be achieved; conversely, the farther the position of the first air-guiding component 31 is from the first position, the reduced circumferential air supply volume can be achieved.

[0078] In some optional embodiments, combined with Figure 6 As shown, the first air-guiding component 31 is constructed as a cylindrical structure that is approximately trumpet-shaped, and the annular solid wall of the cylindrical structure is one of the components that define the air-guiding gap 313; and, the axial ends of the cylindrical structure are connected, and the hollow internal space is connected to the air supply port 21, and the two are coaxially arranged to serve as the main air outlet channel for normal temperature airflow or mixed airflow.

[0079] The first air-guiding member 31, which is approximately trumpet-shaped, has a small-diameter end 312 and a large-diameter end 311, wherein the small-diameter end 312 is located on the air outlet side of the air supply port 21 and extends axially in the opposite direction to the inner side of the air supply port 21, and the inner diameter size of the small-diameter end 312 is adapted to the inner circumference size of the air supply port 21, so that the airflow can flow smoothly through the air supply port 21 and the middle channel of the first air-guiding member 31 in sequence; the large-diameter end 311 is located on the air outlet side of the air supply port 21, and is set at an angle to the axial direction. Compared with the main air supply airflow with axial flow defined by the main flow path of the air supply port 21, the large-diameter end 311 and the air outlet side of the air supply port 21 jointly define a circumferential air supply airflow inclined to the main air supply direction.

[0080] Optionally, the large-diameter end 311 is angled with the axial direction by extending along a straight line and tilting; another option is to extend along a curve and tilting. In this embodiment, the angle formed by the large-diameter end 311 with the axial direction can be 30°, 45°, 60°, etc. Those skilled in the art can flexibly set it according to actual needs, and this application is not limited thereto.

[0081] In some optional embodiments, the vertical sides or the horizontal sides of the large-diameter end 311 of the first air-guiding member 31 protrude outward from the end surface. Compared with the other sides that are not protruding and are flush with the end surface, the protruding sides can widen the relative width between the large-diameter end 311 at that location and the air outlet side of the air outlet 21, so as to increase the actual air supply area at that location, thereby increasing the air supply volume in the corresponding spatial orientation. For example, Figure 7 The upper and lower sides of the first air guide member 31 are curved and convex outward compared to the left and right sides. Therefore, in this structural form, when the air guide gap 313 is opened, more air flows out through the upper and lower sides, enabling the vertical air conditioner to achieve a better air sweeping effect in both vertical directions. Here, the structural form of the large-diameter convex arrangement can be determined according to actual needs. For example, both the vertical and lateral sides can be configured as the above-mentioned convex form to simultaneously increase the air supply effect in four spatial directions, vertically and horizontally. The present application is not limited to this.

[0082] In the embodiment, the side edges of each part of the large-diameter end 311 are extended and formed with a smooth curve, so that the convex side edge portion and the remaining portion can have a smooth transition. As for the relative width of the air guide gap 313, its increase or decrease is also a relatively stable change form that gradually changes with the extension of the curve, so as to ensure that the airflow delivered in all circumferential directions through the air guide gap 313 will not produce too obvious air volume differences, thereby improving the air supply experience for the user.

[0083] Figure 8 : is a schematic diagram of the cooperation between the first air guide member 31 and the telescopic movement mechanism 41 provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 9 yes Figure 8 A partial enlarged view of part A.

[0084] In some embodiments, combined Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the air guide assembly further includes a telescopic movement mechanism 41 , which is used to implement telescopic movement of the first air guide member 31 relative to the air outlet 21 .

[0085] In this embodiment, the telescopic movement mechanism 41 includes a first moving portion and a second moving portion. The first moving portion is disposed on the first air guide member 31 and telescopes synchronously with the first air guide member 31. The second moving portion is disposed on the air conditioner body. During the telescopic movement of the first air guide member 31, the first moving portion cooperates with the second moving portion and moves relative to the second moving portion. The first and second moving portions jointly define a relative movement path extending axially along the air outlet 21, so that the first air guide member 31 is also constrained to move along this relative movement path.

[0086] Optionally, the first moving portion is one or more slide rails 411 extending axially along the air outlet 21 , wherein the plurality of slide rails 411 may be arranged along the circumference of the first air guide member 31 . Figure 8 Two sliding rails 411 are provided on the first air-guiding component 31, which are respectively provided on the two vertically opposite sides of the first air-guiding component 31, so that when the guide rails are driven by an external driving force to move the first air-guiding component 31, the first air-guiding component 31 can be subjected to balanced force as a whole, thereby reducing the occurrence of deflection and dislocation of the first air-guiding component 31 during the axial movement, thereby making it possible to evenly supply air to all circumferential positions when moving to the first position, and to close tightly when moving to the second position, thereby reducing the occurrence of air leakage.

[0087] In this embodiment, one or more slide rails 411 and the first air guide member 31 are formed by an integrated structure, so that the two can always maintain a good connection strength during long-term use.

[0088] Correspondingly, the second movable portion is a slideway similarly extending along the axial direction of the air outlet 21. The slide rail 411 is slidably disposed within the slideway. The sliding engagement between the slide rail 411 and the slideway enables the first air guide member 31 to slide and telescopically move relative to the air conditioner body along the axial direction of the air outlet 21. The number of slideways provided is the same as the number of slide rails 411, and the two are provided in a one-to-one correspondence.

[0089] It should be understood that the telescopic movable mechanism 41 in the form of a slide rail 411 and a slideway shown in the above embodiment is only for illustrative purposes and is not the only way to implement the telescopic movable mechanism 41. Those skilled in the art can adopt other structural forms in the prior art that can achieve relative movement and coordination between the two as needed, which should also be included in the scope of protection of this application.

[0090] In some optional embodiments, the telescopic movement of the first air guide member 31 relative to the air outlet 21 by the telescopic movement mechanism 41 can be achieved manually by the user, that is, the user manually pulls the first air guide member 31 to telescopically move relative to the air-conditioning body; here, a limiting structure is also provided on the first moving part and the second moving part to prevent the first air guide member 31 from completely detaching from the air-conditioning body and falling down when the first air guide member 31 is pulled outward.

[0091] Optionally, a limiting groove extending in the axial direction is formed on the inner wall of at least one side of the slideway, and the outermost end of the limiting groove is closed. Accordingly, a sliding rod extending into the limiting groove is provided at the innermost end of the slide rail 411. When the slide rail 411 and the slideway slide relative to each other, the sliding rod and the limiting groove also slide relative to each other, and a stop is formed when the sliding rod moves to the outermost end of the limiting groove. In this way, the first air guide member 31 cannot be further extended and pulled out. Here, when the sliding rod and the limiting groove form a stop, the first air guide member 31 is in the first position.

[0092] In yet other optional embodiments, the telescopic movement of the first air guide member 31 relative to the air outlet 21 by the telescopic movement mechanism 41 may be achieved by automatically moving the first air guide member 31 by being driven by a driving component. In this embodiment, the telescopic movement mechanism 41 further includes a first driving component that is drivingly connected to the first moving portion or the first air guide member 31 and is configured to drive the first air guide member 31 to telescopically move.

[0093] Optionally, the first drive component includes a first motor 413. The first motor 413 is capable of bidirectional operation, switching to a corresponding direction of rotation when the first air guide member 31 moves in two opposite directions: extending or retracting. For example, when the first air guide member 31 extends, the first motor 413 operates in a first direction of rotation, and when the first air guide member 31 retracts, the first motor 413 operates in a second direction of rotation. The output end of the first motor 413 is provided with a gear, and accordingly, the first movable portion is formed with an axially arranged rack structure 412, which meshes with the gear. In this way, the driving force generated by the operation of the first motor 413 can be transmitted to the first air guide member 31 via the cooperation of the gear and the rack structure 412.

[0094] In this embodiment, each first movable part is respectively provided with a first motor 413. Taking the first motor 413 corresponding to the first movable part arranged at the vertical lower part of the figure as an example, the output shaft of the first motor 413 is arranged upward in the vertical direction, and the rotation plane of the corresponding installed gear is a horizontal plane. The rack structure 412 arranged on the slide of the first air-guiding component 31 is formed on the vertical side wall of the corresponding gear and is arranged along the axial direction. Therefore, after the gear and the rack structure 412 are engaged, when the first motor 413 runs clockwise (from a top-down perspective), the first air-guiding component 31 is driven to extend outward, and when the first motor 413 runs counterclockwise, the first air-guiding component 31 is driven to retract inward.

[0095] Figure 11 3D is a perspective view of the second air guide member 32 provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0096] It can be seen from the above embodiments that the air guide gap 313 for realizing circumferential air supply and the air outlet gap 212 for realizing axial air supply are both connected to the internal air duct 5 of the air conditioner body, and the total amount of air flow delivered by the internal air duct 5 under the set parameter conditions is fixed. Therefore, the amount of air distributed by the air guide gap 313 and the air outlet gap 212 can affect the air supply effect of the circumferential air supply and the axial air supply. In this regard, in some optional embodiments, such as Figure 11 As shown, the air guide assembly also includes a second air guide component 32, which is arranged in the internal air duct 5, and divides the internal air duct 5 axially along the air supply port 21 into a first air duct 51 corresponding to the air outlet gap 212, and a second air duct 52 corresponding to the air guide gap 313. The second air guide component 32 can controllably change the air duct area of ​​the first air duct 51 and the second air duct 52.

[0097] In some optional embodiments, the second air guide member 32 is constructed as a plate structure, such as a thin plate, and the plate structure can divide the internal air duct 5 into two air ducts, wherein the first air duct 51 is composed of the plate structure, the back panel 12 of the casing 1 and the front half of the two side panels 13, and the second air duct 52 is composed of the plate structure, the front panel 11 of the casing 1 and the rear half of the two side panels 13, and the air flow transported from bottom to top can flow into the two air ducts respectively; in the embodiment, the horizontal cross-sectional areas of the first air duct 51 and the second air duct 52 are equal or unequal, depending on the dividing line position of the second air guide member 32. Here, the dividing line position is generally a position between the annular air outlet plate 211 at the front and the first air guide member 31, so that the two separated air ducts independently supply air to the corresponding gaps.

[0098] In some embodiments, the second air guide member 32 can rotate along one vertical side thereof on both sides of the axis relative to the air supply port 21. After the second air guide member 32 rotates, the air flow inlet diameters of the corresponding internal air ducts 5 of the first air duct 51 and the second air duct 52 change, that is, the air flow inflow areas of the first air duct 51 and the second air duct 52 change, so that the air volume allocated to the first air duct 51 and the second air duct 52 changes accordingly, thereby achieving the purpose of regulating the air volume of the first air duct 51 and the second air duct 52.

[0099] Exemplarily, a vertical upright plate 14 arranged perpendicular to the axial direction is provided at the air supply outlet 21, and the middle part of the vertical upright plate 14 is hollow to serve as an air flow channel, and the lower side of the vertical upright plate 14 is rotatably connected to the second component; the second air-guiding component 32 uses its top side as the first side of the rotation center, and its bottom side is a free side, so when the bottom side swings left and right in the axial direction, the air duct areas of the first air duct 51 and the second air duct 52 change accordingly. Specifically, when the bottom side swings toward the front panel 11, the air duct area of ​​the second air duct 52 decreases and the air duct area of ​​the first air duct 51 increases, so that the circumferential air volume blown out through the air guide gap 313 is reduced and the axial air volume blown out through the air outlet gap 212 is increased; conversely, when the bottom side swings toward the back panel 12, the air duct area of ​​the second air duct 52 is increased and the air duct area of ​​the first air duct 51 is reduced, so that the air volume blown out through the air guide gap 313 is increased and the axial air volume blown out through the air outlet gap 212 is reduced.

[0100] Optionally, the specific size design of the second air-guiding member 32 is constructed so that after the free side of the second air-guiding member 32 is rotated axially to a certain angle on both sides, its free side can be abutted against the air-conditioning casing 1 on the corresponding side, so that the air duct on this side is relatively closed, with no airflow or only a small amount of airflow flowing into the air duct.

[0101] For example, when the second air guide member 32 swings toward the back panel 12 and abuts against the back panel 12, the first air duct 51 is relatively closed, and all the airflow in the internal air duct 5 is transported to the second air duct 52, so that the airflow is all blown out in a circumferential direction. This state is defined as the first action state. Figure 14a Alternatively, the plate surface of the second air guide member 32 is parallel to the vertical direction, so that the air flow of the internal duct 5 flows into the first duct 51 and the second duct 52 respectively, and then the vertical air conditioner can simultaneously perform axial air supply and circumferential air supply, this state is positioned as the second action state, as shown Figure 14b As shown; or, when the second air guide member 32 swings toward the side of the front panel 11 and abuts against the front panel 11, the second air duct 52 is relatively closed, and all the airflow in the internal air duct 5 is transported to the first air duct 51, so that the airflow is all blown out in the form of axial air supply. This state is positioned as the third action state.

[0102] Figure 12 : is a schematic diagram of the cooperation between the second air guide member 32 and the second driving component provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure, Figure 13 yes Figure 12 A partial enlarged view of part B.

[0103] Here, combined Figure 12 and Figure 13 As shown, the air guide assembly drives the second air guide member 32 to rotate through the second driving component. Here, the second driving component is arranged at the top of the internal air duct 5, and the second driving component is connected to the first side edge of the second air guide member 32. It is configured to drive the second air guide member 32 to rotate axially on both sides relative to the air supply port 21 with the first side edge as the center to change the air duct area of ​​the first air duct 51 and the second air duct 52.

[0104] Exemplarily, the rotation mechanism includes a second motor 421 and a worm 423, wherein the second motor 421 is capable of bidirectional operation to drive the second air guide member 32 to switch to the corresponding direction when rotating in different axial directions, such as when the second air guide member 32 swings toward the front panel 11, the second motor 421 runs in a first direction, and when the second air guide member 32 swings toward the back panel 12, the second motor 421 runs in a second direction. The output shaft end of the second motor 421 is provided with a worm gear 422, and accordingly, the first side of the second air guide member 32 is connected to the worm gear 423, and the worm gear 423 and the second air guide member 32 do not rotate relative to each other but rotate synchronously, and the helical teeth of the worm gear 423 are engaged with the worm gear 422. In this way, the driving force generated by the operation of the second motor 421 can be transmitted to the second air guide member 32 via the cooperation of the worm gear 422 and the worm gear 423.

[0105] In the example, the output shaft of the second motor 421 is set parallel to the axial direction of the air outlet 21, so the rotation plane of the worm gear 422 is a vertical plane perpendicular to the axial direction of the air outlet 21. Since the rotation direction of the second air guide component 32 is limited to be along the axial direction of the air outlet 21, the combination of the worm gear 422 and the worm 423 can achieve 90° rotation reversal to meet the requirement that the second air guide component 32 can still swing back and forth under the above-mentioned setting of the second motor 421.

[0106] In an embodiment, a slot structure for accommodating the worm 423 is provided on the first side of the second air-guiding member 32, and both ends of the worm 423 are fixed on the side of the slot; at the same time, a limiting structure is also provided between the second air-guiding member 32 and the air-conditioning body, for maintaining the position of the first side of the second air-guiding member 32 unchanged when the worm 423 and the worm gear 422 are in cooperation. For example, the limiting structure includes a limiting rotating shaft formed at both ends of the first side, and a limiting shaft seat formed at both ends of the first side of the air-conditioning body corresponding to the first side, and the limiting rotating shaft extends into the limiting shaft seat and the two can rotate relative to each other.

[0107] Of course, in some embodiments not shown in the accompanying drawings, the second motor 421 can also be arranged in an axial manner with the output shaft perpendicular to the air outlet 21, and the output shaft of the second motor 421 is directly connected to the second air guide component 32 to directly drive the second air guide component 32 to rotate axially in the front-to-back direction. The present application is not limited to this.

[0108] Figure 15 It is a flow chart of the air supply control method of the vertical air conditioner provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0109] In some optional embodiments, the present disclosure also provides a method for controlling air supply of a vertical air conditioner, which can be applied to control air supply of one or more vertical air conditioners shown in the above embodiments; Figure 15 As shown, the control flow of this method includes:

[0110] S101, obtaining the current operating mode of the vertical air conditioner;

[0111] In this embodiment, the operating mode of the vertical air conditioner can be a conventional operating mode, such as cooling mode, heating mode and dehumidification mode, and each operating mode can be pre-set with a corresponding air supply state, so that subsequent air supply mode adjustments can be performed according to the air supply state requirements of different operating modes.

[0112] Alternatively, the operating mode of the floor-standing air conditioner can also be different operating stages under the same heat exchange mode. For example, the cooling mode is divided into a cooling stage and a temperature maintenance stage. The cooling stage is the operating stage corresponding to when the environment in which the floor-standing air conditioner is located has not reached the set cooling temperature, and the temperature maintenance stage is the operating stage corresponding to when the environment in which the floor-standing air conditioner is located has reached the set cooling temperature. Therefore, different operating stages of the same mode can be set with different air supply forms.

[0113] Alternatively, the operating mode of the vertical air conditioner can be a setting for the air supply mode, such as the axial air supply form specified by the conventional air supply mode, or the circumferential air supply form specified by the circumferential air supply mode, or the simultaneous axial air supply and circumferential air supply form specified by the mixed air supply mode.

[0114] In this way, when executing step S101, relevant setting parameters of the air conditioner can be obtained, and the current operation mode can be determined according to the relevant setting parameters.

[0115] S102 . In response to the operation mode, adjust the opening and closing state of the air guide gap; wherein the adjustment of the opening and closing state includes controlling the movement position of the first air guide member.

[0116] In some optional embodiments, the opening and closing states of the air guide gap include at least an open state and a closed state, wherein the open state may further include a plurality of states with different air supply areas after the air guide gap is opened.

[0117] As mentioned in the embodiment shown above, the first air guide member can be telescopically moved relative to the air outlet side of the air supply port, and the telescopic movement positions include at least a first position, a second position, and a position between the first position and the second position. Specifically, when the current position of the first air guide member is the first position, the air guide gap formed by the first air guide member and the air outlet side of the air supply port is in a fully open state and can discharge air with a maximum air outlet area; when the current position of the first air guide member is the second position, the air guide gap formed by the first air guide member and the air outlet side of the air supply port is in a fully closed state; and when the current position of the first air guide member is a position between the first position and the second position, the air guide gap formed by the first air guide member and the air outlet side of the air supply port is in an open state and the actual air outlet area can be changed according to the specific position.

[0118] Therefore, in this embodiment, when the current operating mode of the air conditioner involves the need to control circumferential air supply, the opening and closing state of the air guide gap can be controlled by adjusting the moving position of the first air guide component, thereby realizing the start and stop control of the circumferential air supply function and the adjustment of the air volume during circumferential air supply. The use of circumferential air supply can expand the air supply coverage of the vertical air conditioner, enrich the air supply form of the vertical air conditioner, and can flexibly control and switch between different air supply forms according to needs.

[0119] In some optional embodiments, the above-mentioned step S102 "adjusting the opening and closing state of the air guide gap in response to the operating mode" includes: when the operating mode is the first mode, controlling the first air guide component to move to the first position, or a position between the first position and the second position, so that the air guide gap is in the open state; when the operating mode is the second mode, controlling the first air guide component to move to the second position, so that the air guide gap is in the closed state.

[0120] Exemplarily, in combination with the previous embodiments, the first mode and the second mode are the air supply forms corresponding to different operating stages under the same heat exchange mode. The heat exchange mode can optionally be a cooling mode, and the cooling mode is divided into a cooling stage and a temperature maintenance stage. The first mode is the air supply form corresponding to the temperature maintenance stage, and the second mode is the air supply form corresponding to the cooling stage.

[0121] That is, in this embodiment, when the stand-alone air conditioner is operating in cooling mode, if the ambient temperature of the stand-alone air conditioner detected by the temperature sensor has not reached the set cooling temperature, the first air guide member is controlled to move to the second position, thereby closing the air guide gap. All of the heat-exchanged airflow from the stand-alone air conditioner is axially blown out of the air outlet into the indoor environment through the air outlet gap. This concentrates the air volume and extends the air supply distance, thereby accelerating the reduction of the overall temperature of the indoor environment. When the ambient temperature of the stand-alone air conditioner detected by the temperature sensor reaches the set cooling temperature, the first air guide member is controlled to move to the first position, or a position between the first and second positions, thereby opening the air guide gap. At this point, part or all of the heat-exchanged airflow from the stand-alone air conditioner is blown out through the air guide gap, thereby achieving a wider circumferential air supply angle and a larger coverage area, which is conducive to maintaining the indoor ambient temperature at the set cooling temperature.

[0122] In another exemplary embodiment, in conjunction with the above embodiment, the first mode and the second mode are different set air supply modes, such as the first mode being a circumferential air supply mode and the second mode being an axial air supply mode. Here, the different air supply modes may be a built-in program in the control system of the floor-standing air conditioner, and the user can select the desired air supply mode from the built-in program using a control device such as a remote control or a display panel.

[0123] That is, in this embodiment, when the air-conditioning operation mode obtained is the circumferential air supply mode, the first air-guiding member is controlled to move to the first position, or a position between the first position and the second position, so that the air-guiding gap is in an open state, so as to supply air to the indoor environment in the circumferential direction. Compared with the axial air supply form, the air supply airflow coverage area is significantly increased; and when the air-conditioning operation mode obtained is the axial air supply mode, the first air-guiding member is controlled to move to the second position, so that the air-guiding gap is in a closed state, and all the airflow after heat exchange of the vertical air conditioner is blown out axially from the air supply port through the air outlet gap to the indoor environment, and the air volume is delivered more concentratedly.

[0124] It should be understood that the first mode and the second mode set in the above-mentioned multiple embodiments and their respective corresponding air supply forms are only for illustrative purposes and do not constitute a limitation on the expanded implementation of the technical solution of the present application. Those skilled in the art can set other operating modes and their respective corresponding air supply forms based on the technical concept of the present application, which should also be included in the scope of protection of the present application.

[0125] In some further optional embodiments, since the air supply area of ​​the air guide gap can affect the circumferential air supply effect, the air supply area of ​​the air guide gap can be adjusted according to the actual air supply needs of the vertical air conditioner during implementation of the technical solution of the present application, thereby changing the circumferential air supply effect. Here, adjusting the air supply area of ​​the air guide gap includes adjusting the specific position of the first air guide member between the first position and the second position.

[0126] Therefore, the air supply control method of the present application further includes: when the operating mode is the first mode, adjusting the air supply area when the air guide gap is in the open state based on the air supply parameters corresponding to the first mode. In this embodiment, adjusting the air supply area of ​​the air guide gap based on the air supply parameters can achieve more precise circumferential air supply adjustment.

[0127] Optionally, the air supply parameters include air supply volume and air supply speed. Here, the air supply volume can be divided into several air volume gears such as large air supply, medium air supply and low air supply; similarly, the air supply speed can be divided into several air speed gears such as high air supply, medium air supply and low air supply. Therefore, through experiments and other methods, the correlation between different types of air supply parameters and the air supply area of ​​the air guide gap can be constructed, and it can be preset in the control system of the vertical air conditioner, so that when the vertical air conditioner is running, it can be adjusted to the corresponding air guide gap air supply area according to the set air supply parameters based on the correlation. For example, Table 1 shows an optional correlation between the air supply speed and the air supply area of ​​the air guide gap, as shown in the following table:

[0128] Table 1

[0129] Wherein, S is the maximum air supply area of ​​the air guide gap corresponding to when the first air guide member is in the first position.

[0130] In Table 1, the air supply speed is negatively correlated with the air supply area of ​​the air guide gap, that is, the greater the air supply speed setting, the smaller the air supply area of ​​the air guide gap. This embodiment is based on the Venturi effect and increases the flow speed of the airflow by changing the relative width of the air guide gap through which the airflow flows.

[0131] In some other embodiments, a correlation is also established between the air supply volume and the air supply area of ​​the air guide gap, in which the air supply volume and the air supply area of ​​the air guide gap are positively correlated, that is, the larger the air supply volume setting, the larger the air supply area of ​​the controlled air guide gap, so as to increase the air flow rate through the air guide gap by expanding the relative width of the air guide gap.

[0132] In yet other embodiments, the air supply control method of the present application further includes adjusting the air duct areas of the first and second air ducts in response to the operating mode. By changing the air duct areas of the first and second air ducts, the air supply volume of one or both of the axial air supply and the circumferential air supply of the vertical air conditioner in the operating mode can be adjusted to assist in adjusting the air supply effect of the vertical air conditioner.

[0133] The adjustment of the air duct areas of the first air duct and the second air duct includes controlling the action state of the second air guide member.

[0134] Here, in combination with the above embodiments, it can be seen that the action states of the second air-guiding member include multiple ones, such as the first action state: the free side of the second air-guiding member abuts against the back panel, the first air duct is relatively closed, and all the airflow in the internal air duct is transported to the second air duct, so that the airflow is all blown out in the form of circumferential air supply; the second action state: the plate surface of the second air-guiding member is parallel to the vertical direction, so that the airflow in the internal air duct flows into the first air duct and the second air duct more evenly, so that the vertical air conditioner can simultaneously perform axial air supply and circumferential air supply; the third action state, the free side of the second air-guiding member abuts against the front panel, the second air duct is relatively closed, and all the airflow in the internal air duct is transported to the first air duct, so that the airflow is all blown out in the form of axial air supply; the fourth working state, the free side of the second air-guiding member is inclined toward the back panel, and compared with the second working state, the air volume of the second air duct increases and the air volume of the first air duct decreases; the fifth action state: the free side of the second air-guiding member is inclined toward the front panel, and compared with the second working state, the air volume of the second air duct decreases and the air volume of the first air duct increases. The specific tilt angles of the fourth and fifth working states are variable, that is, the increase and decrease values ​​of the first air volume and the second air volume can be further fine-tuned.

[0135] In this way, by adjusting the different action states of the second air guide component, the air supply volume of one or both of the axial air supply and the circumferential air supply of the vertical air conditioner can be changed, so that the air supply effects of different operating modes of the vertical air conditioner can be adjusted more accurately.

[0136] Exemplarily, the first mode is set to a mixed air supply mode. When the first mode is running, the air guide component is controlled to be in any one of the second action state, the fourth action state or the fifth action state, so that the first air duct and the second air duct can transport air to the air guide gap and the air outlet gap respectively, and the vertical air conditioner simultaneously supplies air to the indoor environment in the form of axial air outlet and circumferential air outlet.

[0137] In addition, the second mode is set to the circumferential air supply mode. When the second mode is running, the second air guide component is controlled to be in the first action state or the fourth action state to close the first air duct or reduce the air duct area of ​​the first air duct, so that the axial air outlet volume delivered to the air outlet gap through the first air duct is reduced or becomes zero air outlet, and the air flow after heat exchange is mainly blown out from the air guide gap and blown out in an axial air supply manner.

[0138] In some alternative embodiments, since the air supply areas of the two air ducts can affect the actual air supply effects of different air supply forms, the air supply areas of the respective air ducts can be adjusted according to the actual air supply needs of the vertical air conditioner during implementation of the technical solution of this application, thereby changing the air supply effect. Here, the adjustment of the air supply area includes adjusting the specific operating state of the second air guide member.

[0139] Therefore, the air supply control method of the present application further includes: when the operating mode is the first mode, adjusting the reduction ratio of the air duct area of ​​the first air duct based on the air supply parameters corresponding to the first mode. In this embodiment, by adjusting the reduction ratio of the air duct area of ​​the first air duct based on the air supply parameters, more precise axial and circumferential air supply control can be achieved.

[0140] Similar to the previous embodiment, the air supply parameters include the air supply volume and air supply speed of the axial or circumferential air supply. The technical solution of the present application can also construct a correlation relationship between different types of air supply parameters and the reduction ratio of the air duct area of ​​the first air duct, and then adjust the air duct area of ​​the first air duct according to the set air supply parameters based on the correlation relationship. For example, Table 2 shows an optional correlation relationship between the circumferential air supply volume and the reduction ratio of the air supply area of ​​the first air duct, as shown in the following table:

[0141] Table 2

[0142] It can be seen from Table 2 that the circumferential air supply volume is positively correlated with the reduction ratio of the air supply area of ​​the first air duct, that is, the smaller the circumferential air supply volume, the smaller the reduction ratio of the air supply area of ​​the first air duct, and the larger the air duct area actually occupied by the first air duct, so that less airflow is distributed to the second air duct corresponding to the circumferential air supply, so as to achieve the purpose of reducing the circumferential air supply volume.

[0143] In some of the aforementioned optional embodiments, the first mode of the floor-standing air conditioner is an operating mode that operates entirely in a circumferential direction, or includes circumferential air supply (such as the hybrid air supply mode described above). This mode is triggered when the ambient temperature of the floor-standing air conditioner meets a set temperature requirement. Therefore, when the ambient temperature meets the set temperature requirement, air supply methods including circumferential air supply provide a wider range of indoor air, helping to maintain the indoor temperature within the set temperature range for a longer period of time.

[0144] Here, the set temperature requirements for the cooling mode of a floor-standing air conditioner include: the indoor ambient temperature is less than or equal to the target cooling temperature; the set temperature requirements for the heating mode of a floor-standing air conditioner include: the indoor ambient temperature is greater than or equal to the target heating temperature, etc. Specific set temperature requirements can be set separately for different modes of the floor-standing air conditioner, and this application is not limited thereto.

[0145] Figure 16 It is a flow chart of an air supply control method for a vertical air conditioner provided in yet another embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0146] like Figure 16 As shown, the control process of the air supply control method of the vertical air conditioner disclosed in this application includes:

It can intelligently switch between different air supply modes of the vertical air conditioner, so that the air supply performance after switching can meet the air supply requirements of the indoor environment.
