[0002] The conventional air conditioner blows the air after heat exchange to the outside through the air outlet by the air wheel, and the air flow is concentrated and the wind speed is large. When the user is in the air supply range of the air conditioner, the air flow is directly blown to the user, which easily causes the user to feel uncomfortable, and the comfort is poor. Especially in the hot summer, if the cold wind is directly blown on the user's body surface for a long time, it is easy to cause the user to have symptoms such as cold, dizziness or fatigue, which is not conducive to the health of the user, especially for the elderly, children and the like, which is more likely to cause cold and other diseases. In the related technology, a microporous plate is arranged at the air outlet of the air conditioner, and the air flow is weakened by the microporous plate to achieve the air outlet effect of windless, so as to avoid the direct blowing of the air flow to the user. However, since the air flow is reduced after passing through the microporous plate, the refrigerating capacity of the air conditioner is reduced. In the summer, the indoor temperature cannot be quickly reduced to the comfortable temperature range when the air conditioner is started, thereby affecting the use experience of the user.

[0056] The present application provides a floor type air conditioner indoor unit.

[0057] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 The present application provides a floor type air conditioner indoor unit 100, which comprises a casing 110 and two air guide members 120. The casing 110 is provided with two air outlets 114, and the two air guide members 120 are movably installed at the two air outlets 114 respectively. The air guide member 120 has a first air guide position, and when the air guide member 120 is in the first air guide position, the air guide member 120 can make the air flow of the two air outlets 114 intersect.

[0058] In the embodiment of the present application, the casing 110 extends in the up-down direction, and the shape of the casing 110 can be cylindrical or cuboid, etc., which can be designed according to actual needs. The casing 110 can be integrally formed, of course, in order to facilitate installation and disassembly, the casing 110 can also be provided in a split manner, for example, the casing 110 includes a front panel 111 and a rear back plate 112 which is detachably connected with the front panel 111. The front panel 111 and the rear back plate 112 enclose a cavity for installing the internal components of the air conditioner. The rear back plate 112 is provided with an air inlet 113, and the air inlet 113 is provided with an air inlet grille. Two air outlets 114 extend in the up-down direction, and the two air outlets 114 can be arranged on the front panel 111, specifically, the two air outlets 114 are arranged on the two sides (left and right sides) of the front panel 111 close to the rear back plate 112, so that the air guide member 120 can make the air flow blown out by the two air outlets 114 meet in front of the front panel 111. However, it is not limited to this, for example, the two air outlets 114 can also be arranged on the two sides of the rear back plate 112, and the arrangement positions of the two air outlets 114 are not specially limited and can be arranged according to actual needs. Hereinafter, the two air outlets 114 arranged on the two sides of the front panel 111 will be taken as an example for introduction.

[0059] The casing 110 is provided with two air ducts 115 respectively, and each air duct 115 communicates the air inlet 113 with a corresponding air outlet 114. Specifically, each air duct 115 has a first air duct wall 116 close to another air duct 115 and a second air duct wall 117 away from another air duct 115. Without loss of generality, the floor type air conditioner indoor unit 100 further includes a heat exchanger and a fan assembly, the heat exchanger is annularly arranged in the casing 110 and corresponds to the air inlet 113, and the fan assembly includes two wind wheels 160, and the two wind wheels 160 are arranged in the two air ducts 115 respectively to drive the airflow entering from the air inlet 113 to enter the two air ducts 115 respectively and be blown out by the two air outlets 114.

[0060] Two air guiding members 120 are respectively installed at the two air outlets 114. The air guiding member 120 can be rotatably installed at the air outlet 114. When the air guiding member 120 is rotated to a first air guiding position, the air guiding member 120 can guide the airflow in the air duct 115 to blow out to the front of the front panel 111, so as to avoid the airflow directly blowing on the user and causing the user to be uncomfortable. For the convenience of description, the two air outlets 114 can be defined as a left air outlet 114 and a right air outlet 114, and the two air ducts 115 can be respectively defined as a left air duct and a right air duct. When the two air guiding members 120 are both in the first air guiding position, the air guiding member 120 located at the left air outlet can guide the airflow in the left air duct to blow out to the left front, and the air guiding member 120 located at the right air outlet can guide the airflow in the right air duct to blow out to the left front. Thus, the two air outlet airflows will collide with each other in front of the front panel 111, so as to dissipate the kinetic energy of the air outlet airflow, change the high-speed airflow into a turbulent airflow, and finally form a comfortable air outlet area in front of the front panel 111, thereby improving the use comfort of the air conditioner. The structure of the air guiding member 120 can be various, which will be described in detail below.

[0061] The floor type air conditioner indoor unit 100 adopts two air outlets 114 arranged on the cabinet 110, and two air guiding members 120 are movably installed at the two air outlets 114. The air guiding member 120 has a first air guiding position. When the air guiding member 120 is in the first air guiding position, the air guiding member 120 can make the air outlet airflows blown out from the two air outlets 114 collide with each other, so as to dissipate the kinetic energy, avoid the air outlet airflow directly blowing on the user, and improve the use comfort of the air conditioner.

[0062] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 In an embodiment, the air guiding member 120 includes a first air guiding part 121. When the two air guiding members 120 are both in the first air guiding position, the first air guiding part 121 of each air guiding member 120 abuts against one end of the second air duct wall 117 and the other end of the first air duct wall 116 to form a first air outlet 125. The air guiding member 120 can make the air outlet airflows blown out from the two first air outlets 125 collide with each other.

[0063] In this embodiment, the surface (inner surface) of the first air guiding part 121 close to the air duct 115 forms a flow guiding surface. Please refer to Figure 3When both of the air guiding members 120 are in the first air guiding position, the first air guiding portions 121 of both of the air guiding members 120 are arranged at an angle. For example, the first air guiding portion 121 of the air guiding member 120 located at the left air outlet 114 is inclined leftward from front to back, and the first air guiding portion 121 of the air guiding member 120 located at the right air outlet 114 is inclined rightward from front to back. Moreover, the angle between the first air guiding portions 121 is an acute angle. In this way, the air flow in the left air duct 115 can be blown out toward the right front along the flow surface of the corresponding first air guiding portion 121, and the air flow in the right air duct 115 can be blown out toward the left front along the flow surface of the corresponding first air guiding portion 121. It should be noted that in the embodiment of the present application, the abutment of one end of the first air guiding portion 121 with the second air duct wall 117 means that the one end of the first air guiding portion 121 is very close to the second air duct wall 117, and a certain gap is allowed between the two. The abutment will be explained below.

[0064] Referring to Figure 4 , the air guiding member 120 further has a second air guiding position. When both of the air guiding members 120 are in the second air guiding position, one end of the first air guiding portion 121 of each of the air guiding members 120 abuts with the first air duct wall 116, and the other end of the first air guiding portion 121 forms a second air outlet 126 with the second air duct wall 117. The air guiding member 120 can blow out air flow toward two sides of the cabinet 110 through the two second air outlets 126, respectively.

[0065] Referring to Figure 2 , the air guiding member 120 further has a first closing position. When the air guiding member 120 is in the first closing position, the first air guiding portion 121 closes the air outlet 114.

[0066] Specifically, when both of the air guiding members 120 are in the first air guiding position, the first air guiding portions 121 of both of the air guiding members 120 are arranged at an angle, and the angle between the first air guiding portions 121 is an obtuse angle. In this way, the air flow in the left air duct 115 can be blown out toward the left side of the cabinet 110 along the flow surface of the corresponding first air guiding portion 121, and the air flow in the right air duct 115 can be blown out toward the right side of the cabinet 110 along the flow surface of the corresponding second air guiding portion 122. In this way, the air outlet range of the air conditioner is further increased, and the use comfort of the air conditioner is further improved.

[0067] Further, in an embodiment, the air guide 120 comprises a second air guide portion 122, which is connected to one end of the first air guide portion 121. When the air guide 120 is in the first air guide position, the end of the first air guide portion 121 away from the second air guide portion 122 is in abutment with the second air duct wall 117, the end of the first air guide portion 121 close to the second air guide portion 122 is in abutment with the first air duct wall 116, the first air outlet 125 is formed by the first air guide portion 121 and the second air guide portion 122, and the second air guide portion 122 extends into the air duct 115 and at least partially covers the first air outlet 125. When the air guide 120 is in the second air guide position, the end of the first air guide portion 121 close to the second air guide portion 122 is in abutment with the first air duct wall 116, the end of the first air guide portion 121 away from the second air guide portion 122 is in abutment with the second air duct wall 117, the second air outlet 126 is formed by the first air guide portion 121 and the second air duct wall 117, and the second air guide portion 122 is located in the air duct 115 and close to the first air duct wall 116. When the air guide 120 is in the first closed position, the first air guide portion 121 closes the air outlet 114, and the second air guide portion 122 is received in the air duct 115 and close to the first air duct wall 116.

[0068] In this embodiment, in order to achieve the breezeless air outlet effect, a plurality of first through holes (not shown) can be formed in the second air guide portion 122. In this way, when the air guide 120 is in the first air guide position, the second air guide portion 122 at least partially covers the first air outlet 125, the airflow in the air duct 115 blows out through the first through holes in the second air guide portion 122, and the plurality of first through holes can disperse the airflow to achieve the breezeless air outlet effect. The shape of the first through holes can be circular, oval, triangular, quadrilateral, diamond, or other polygonal shapes. In addition, the plurality of first through holes can be regularly distributed on the second air guide portion 122, for example, in an array manner. Of course, the plurality of first through holes can be irregularly distributed on the second air guide portion 122, which is not limited in particular.

[0069] In this embodiment, the floor type air conditioner indoor unit 100 has two working modes: breezeless mode and normal cooling and heating mode.

[0070] Please refer to Figure 3When the floor standing air conditioner indoor unit 100 is in the windless mode, the air guide 120 is in the first air guide position, the first air guide part 121 is in abutment with the second air duct wall 117 at the end away from the second air guide part 122, the first air guide part 121 is in abutment with the first air duct wall 116 at the end close to the second air guide part 122 to form the first air outlet 125, the second air guide part 122 at least partially covers the first air outlet 125, the airflow in the air duct 115 blows out through the first through hole of the second air guide part 122 or the gap between the second air guide part 122 and the front panel, and the airflows blown out from the two first air outlets 125 meet and collide in front of the front panel 111, changing the high-speed airflow into a turbulent airflow to form a comfortable windless zone in front of the front panel 111.

[0071] Referring to Figure 4 When the floor standing air conditioner indoor unit 100 is in the normal cooling and heating mode, the air guide 120 is in the second air guide position, the first air guide part 121 is in abutment with the first air duct wall 116 at the end close to the second air guide part 122, the first air guide part 121 is in abutment with the second air duct wall 117 at the end away from the second air guide part 122 to form the second air outlet 126, and the second air guide part 122 is arranged in the air duct 115 close to the first air duct wall 116, and the airflow in the air duct 115 blows out from the second air outlet 126.

[0072] Referring to Figures 6 to 13 In another embodiment, two air ducts 115 are each provided with a partition plate 130, the partition plate 130 separates the air outlet 114 into a first sub-air outlet 114a and a second sub-air outlet 114b, and the air guide 120 is movably arranged at the first sub-air outlet 114a. When the two air guides 120 are both in the first air guide position, the air guide 120 can make the airflows blown out from the two first sub-air outlets 114a meet.

[0073] In this embodiment, the air guide 120 includes a first air guide part 121, and when the two air guides 120 are both in the first air guide position, the first air guide part 121 of each air guide 120 is in abutment with the partition plate 130 at one end and in abutment with the first air duct wall 116 at the other end to form a third air outlet, and the air guide 120 can make the airflows blown out from the two third air outlets meet.

[0074] The air guide 120 comprises a second air guide part 122 connected to one end of the first air guide part 121. When both the air guides 120 are in the first air guide position, one end of the first air guide part 121 of each air guide 120 abuts against the partition plate 130, and the other end forms a third air outlet together with the first air duct wall 116. The second air guide part 122 extends into the air duct 115 and at least partially covers the third air outlet. The air flows blown out of the two third air outlets can meet in front of the front panel 111. In this embodiment, a plurality of first through holes are formed in the second air guide part 122 to increase the no-wind feeling of the air outlet effect.

[0075] Further, the air guide 120 has a second closing position for closing the first sub-air outlet 114a. When the air guide 120 is in the second closing position, the first air guide part 121 closes the first sub-air outlet 114a, and the second air guide part 122 is located in the air duct 115 and close to the first air duct wall 116.

[0076] In an embodiment, the air guide 120 further comprises a third air guide part 123 (as shown in Figure 15 The third air guide part 123 is connected to one end of the second air guide part 122 away from the first air guide part 121. When the air guide 120 is in the second closing position, one end of the third air guide part 123 away from the second air guide part 122 abuts against the partition plate 130 to block the air flow in the air duct 115 from flowing to the first sub-air outlet 114a. When the air guide 120 is in the first air guide position, the third air guide part 123 is located in the air duct 115 and extends towards the partition plate 130.

[0077] It should be noted that the air duct 115 comprises an air outlet section 118 close to the air outlet 114. The partition plate 130 is arranged in the air outlet section 118 and divides the air outlet section 118 into two air outlet cavities. The two air outlet cavities are respectively communicated with the first sub-air outlet 114a and the second sub-air outlet 114b. In this way, part of the air flow flows to the first air outlet cavity, and the other part of the air flow flows to the second air outlet cavity. When the air guide 120 is in the first air guide position, part of the air flow flows to the first air outlet cavity and is blown out through the third air outlet, and the other part of the air flow flows to the second air outlet cavity and is blown out through the second sub-air outlet 114b. When the air guide 120 is in the second closing position, the third air guide part 123 abuts against the partition plate 130, thereby closing the air duct opening of the first air outlet cavity and blocking the air flow from flowing to the first air outlet cavity.

[0078] To prevent the third air guide section 123 from interfering with the airflow towards the third air outlet when the air guide component 120 is in the first air guide position, and to increase the airflow towards the third air outlet, in one embodiment, multiple second through holes can be provided on the third air guide section 123. In this way, the airflow can pass through the second through holes on the third air guide section 123 to flow towards the third air outlet, thereby reducing the interference of the third air guide section 123 with the airflow. The shape of the second through holes can be circular, elliptical, triangular, quadrilateral, rhomboid, or other polygonal shapes. Furthermore, the plurality of second through holes can be regularly distributed on the third air guide section 123, for example, distributed in an array; of course, they can also be irregularly distributed on the third air guide section 123, without specific limitation.

[0079] Considering that when the air guide 120 is in the second closed position, the airflow in the air duct 115 may enter the first air outlet cavity through the gap between the third air guide 123 and the partition plate 130, the airtightness between the third air guide 123 and the partition plate 130 can be improved to prevent airflow from flowing into the first air outlet cavity. For example, in one embodiment, the third air guide 123 is provided with a windbreak 124 at the end away from the second air guide 122 (e.g., Figure 14 As shown), the partition plate 130 is provided with a notch 131 that matches the windbreak part 124 (as shown). Figure 12 (As shown). The structure of the windbreak 124 can be varied. For example, the windbreak 124 can be a baffle formed at one end of the third air guide 123, or the windbreak 124 can be a notch 131 formed at one end of the third air guide 123. It is understood that in other embodiments, a sealing element, such as sealing sponge or sealing rubber, can also be provided at the end of the partition plate 130.

[0080] In one embodiment, the floor-standing air conditioner indoor unit 100 further includes a swirling device 140, which is installed on the surface (inner surface) of the second air guide 122 near the air duct 115. That is, the swirling device 140 is located upstream of the second air guide 122 in the air outlet direction. The swirling device 140 is used to allow airflow to pass through and diffuse the airflow passing through it. In this way, the airflow first diffuses through the swirling device 140 and then flows to the second air guide 122, and is blown out through the first through hole on the second air guide 122, thereby further improving the windless air outlet effect.

[0081] The structure of the cyclone device 140 can be various, and is not specifically limited. For example, the cyclone device 140 comprises a mounting bracket and a cyclone fan, the mounting bracket extends in the up-down direction and is mounted on the surface of the second air guide part 122 close to the air duct 115, and the cyclone fan is mounted on the mounting bracket. The number of the cyclone fan can be multiple, and multiple cyclone fans are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the mounting bracket. It can be understood that the cyclone fan refers to that the blades of the cyclone fan are curved or arranged at an angle with the air inlet direction, so that the airflow passing through the cyclone fan forms a cyclone, or the air inlet direction is inconsistent with the air outlet direction. In this way, the outflow air can be effectively dispersed and agitated, the outflow air is more soft, the wind resistance and wind loss are small, and the windless air volume can be effectively improved. The cyclone fan can be fixedly mounted on the mounting bracket, or rotatably mounted on the mounting bracket. The structure of the cyclone fan can also be various, and the cyclone fan can be a single-layer fan 160 structure or a double-layer fan 160 structure.

[0082] For example, in an embodiment, the cyclone fan comprises a first fan, and the first fan is rotatably mounted on the mounting bracket. The airflow dispersed by the first fan can be blown out, and the outflow effect of windless air can be well realized, and the air supply range is increased. In this embodiment, the rotation of the first fan can be driven by the wind motor, or the first fan can be rotatable under the driving of the airflow by arranging a rolling bearing and the like. In another embodiment, the cyclone fan further comprises a second fan, and the second fan is fixedly mounted on the mounting bracket, and the blades of the second fan are arranged in a mutually laminated or staggered manner in the air outlet direction with the blades of the first fan. Specifically, the second fan can be fixedly mounted on the mounting bracket in various ways, for example, by welding, bonding, crimping and the like. In order to better mount the first fan and the second fan, a plurality of mounting through holes can be arranged on the mounting bracket, so that the first fan is rotatably mounted on the mounting through hole, and the second fan is fixedly mounted on the mounting through hole. Further, in order to make the airflow blown out from the mounting through hole be the airflow dispersed by the first fan and the second fan, it is preferred that the mounting through hole is circularly arranged and adapted to the size of the first fan and the second fan.

[0083] Please refer to Figure 10 , Figure 11 and Figure 13 In an embodiment, the floor type air conditioner indoor unit 100 further comprises two switch doors 150, and the two switch doors 150 are respectively mounted at the two second sub-air outlets 114b. The switch door 150 is used to open or close the second sub-air outlet 114b.

[0084] Specifically, the switch door 150 is slidably connected to the housing 110, and the switch door 150 can slide along the outer surface of the housing 110 to open or close the second sub-air vent 114b. Of course, it is understood that the switch door 150 and the housing 110 can also be rotatably connected, without specific limitation. To better drive the switch door 150 to slide, the floor-standing air conditioner indoor unit 100 also includes two first driving devices 170 (such as...). Figure 9 As shown in the diagram, the two first driving devices 170 are respectively connected to the two opening and closing doors 150 to drive the corresponding opening and closing doors 150 to slide. The structure of the first driving device 170 is not limited, and those skilled in the art can design it according to actual needs. For example, the first driving device 170 includes a driving component and a transmission component, wherein the driving component drives the opening and closing door 150 to rotate through the transmission component. The driving component can be a drive motor or a cylinder, etc., and the transmission component can be a gear and rack transmission component, specifically including a gear and a rack meshing with the gear. The transmission component can also be a gear set transmission component, specifically including a gear and sector teeth meshing with the gear.

[0085] Considering that in summer, if the air conditioner is turned on directly in windless mode, it is generally impossible to guarantee that the indoor temperature will drop to a comfortable range quickly, thus reducing user comfort. Therefore, in order to increase the air volume in windless mode and improve the cooling capacity of the air conditioner, several third through holes can be provided on the switch door 150. Thus, when the air guide 120 is in the first air guide position, the switch door 150 can close the second sub-air outlet 114b. At this time, part of the airflow in the air duct 115 can flow into the first air outlet cavity and be blown out through the first through holes on the second air guide 122; another part of the airflow flows into the second air outlet cavity and is blown out through the third through holes on the switch door 150. This increases the air outlet area and air volume in windless mode, thereby improving user comfort. The shape of the third through holes can be circular, elliptical, triangular, quadrilateral, rhomboid, or other polygonal shapes. In addition, the third through holes can be regularly distributed on the switch door 150, for example, distributed in an array on the switch door 150; of course, they can also be irregularly distributed on the switch door 150, without specific limitation.

[0086] Of course, in order to increase the air volume in the windless mode and improve the cooling capacity of the air conditioner, the third through hole can also not be formed on the switch door 150. For example, the floor type air conditioner indoor unit 100 further comprises two air deflectors, and the two air deflectors are respectively installed at the two second sub-air outlets 114b. A plurality of fourth through holes are formed on the air deflectors. In this way, when the air deflector 120 is in the first air deflection position, the switch door 150 can close the second sub-air outlet 114b. At this time, part of the airflow in the air duct 115 can flow into the first air outlet cavity and be blown out through the first through hole on the second air deflector 122. Another part of the airflow flows into the second air outlet cavity and is blown out through the fourth through hole on the air deflector. In this way, the air outlet area in the windless mode can be increased, the air volume in the windless mode can be increased, and the user experience comfort can be improved. The shape of the fourth through hole can be circular, oval, triangular, quadrilateral, diamond, or other polygons, and is not limited in particular.

[0087] In this embodiment, the floor type air conditioner indoor unit 100 has two working modes: a windless mode and a normal cooling and heating mode.

[0088] Please refer to Figure 7 and Figure 10 When the floor type air conditioner indoor unit 100 is in the windless mode, the air deflector 120 is in the first air deflection position. The end of the first air deflector 121 away from the second air deflector 122 abuts against the partition plate 130. The end of the first air deflector 121 close to the second air deflector 122 and the first air duct wall 116 form a third air outlet. The second air deflector 122 shields the third air outlet. The third air deflector 123 extends towards the partition plate 130. The switch door 150 closes the second sub-air outlet 114b. At this time, part of the airflow in the air duct 115 flows into the first air outlet cavity and is blown out through the first through hole on the second air deflector 122. The airflow blown by the two third air outlets converges in front of the front panel 111 and collides with each other, changes the high-speed airflow into turbulent airflow, and forms a comfortable windless area in front of the front panel 111. At the same time, another part of the airflow flows into the second air outlet cavity and is blown out through the third through hole on the switch door 150, thereby increasing the windless air outlet range and the windless air volume.

[0089] Please refer to Figure 8 and Figure 11When the floor standing air conditioner indoor unit 100 is in the normal cooling and heating mode, the air guide member 120 is in the second closed position, the first air guide part 121 closes the first sub-air outlet 114a, the second air guide part 122 is accommodated in the air duct 115, the third air guide part 123 is in abutment with the partition plate 130 at the end away from the second air guide part 122, and the switch door 150 opens the second sub-air outlet 114b. At this time, the airflow in the air duct 115 all flows into the second air outlet cavity and is blown out from the second sub-air outlet 114b.

[0090] In the above embodiments, the first air guide part 121 is rotationally connected with the front panel 111, the second air guide part 122 is arranged at an angle with the first air guide part 121, and the angle between the second air guide part 122 and the first air guide part 121 is greater than 0° and less than 90°. It can be understood that, in order to better drive the rotation of the first air guide part 121, the floor standing air conditioner indoor unit 100 further comprises a second driving device 180 connected with the first air guide part 121 to drive the rotation of the first air guide part 121. The upper end and / or the lower end of the first air guide part 121 is provided with a rotating shaft 127, and the second driving device 180 is connected with the rotating shaft 127. The position of the rotating shaft 127 is not specially limited, for example, in an embodiment, the rotating shaft 127 can be arranged at the middle of the upper end of the first air guide part 121 and / or the middle of the lower end of the first air guide part 121. For another example, in another embodiment, the rotating shaft 127 can be arranged at the end of the first air guide part 121 away from the second air guide part 122.

[0091] In order to better accommodate the second air guide part 122 into the air duct 115, an active gap can be left between the second air guide part 122 and the front panel 111. Specifically, the active gap between the second air guide part 122 and the front panel 111 is greater than 1 mm and less than 10 mm. For example, the active gap between the second air guide part 122 and the front panel 111 is 1 mm, 3 mm, 4 mm, 5 mm, 6 mm, 8 mm, 10 mm, etc.

[0092] In an embodiment, the air duct 115 comprises an air outlet section 118 adjacent to the air outlet 114, and the air outlet section 118 of the air duct 115 can be arranged in a diverging manner in the air outlet direction so as to increase the air outlet volume. It is worth mentioning that, in an embodiment, the portion of the first air duct wall 116 corresponding to the air outlet section 118 can be arranged in an arc surface manner which is recessed towards the other air outlet section 118 of the air duct 115, so as to better accommodate the second air guide part 122 into the air duct 115. In this way, the second air guide part 122 can be better accommodated into the air duct 115, and meanwhile, the first air duct wall 116 of the air duct 115 can be prevented from being scratched by the second air guide part 122.

[0093] The structure of the first air guide part 121 and the second air guide part 122 can be various, for example, the first air guide part 121 and the second air guide part 122 are flat plate structures, or the first air guide part 121 and the second air guide part 122 are arc plate structures. Here, in an embodiment, the first air guide part 121 can be arranged in an arc shape, and / or the second air guide part 122 can be arranged in an arc shape, so as to reduce the activity space required for switching the air guide part 120 between the first air guide position and the second air guide position, and reduce the overall volume of the floor standing air conditioner indoor unit 100.

[0094] It can be understood that, in order to better accommodate the second air guide part 122 into the air duct 115 without affecting the air flow to the first air outlet 125, the shape of the second air guide part 122 can be designed to be the same as the shape of the first air duct wall 116. In this way, when the second air guide part 122 is accommodated in the air duct 115, the second air guide part 122 can be arranged close to the first air duct wall 116, so as to neither affect the air flow to the first air outlet 125 nor occupy a large area of the air duct 115.

[0095] Please refer to Figure 15 , the third air guide part 123 is also arranged at an angle with the second air guide part 122, and the end of the third air guide part 123 away from the second air guide part 122 extends towards the first air guide part 121. The third air guide part 123 can be arranged in a flat plate shape or an arc plate shape. In order to improve the overall strength of the air guide part 120, the first air guide part 121, the second air guide part 122 and the third air guide part 123 can be integrally formed. Of course, in order to facilitate processing and forming, the first air guide part 121, the second air guide part 122 and the third air guide part 123 can also be arranged in a separate manner, for example, detachable connection, etc.

[0096] The application further provides an air conditioner, which comprises an air conditioner outdoor unit and a floor type air conditioner indoor unit 100 connected with the air conditioner outdoor unit through refrigerant pipes. The specific structure of the floor type air conditioner indoor unit 100 is referred to the above-mentioned embodiments.
