[0045] The following describes embodiments of the present invention in detail. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended only to explain the present invention and are not to be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0046] Reference below Figures 1-9 An air conditioner indoor unit 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described.

[0047] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the air-conditioning indoor unit 1 according to the present invention includes an indoor unit body 11 and an air guide structure 12, the indoor unit body 11 has an indoor unit air outlet 113, the air guide structure 12 is configured to guide the wind blown out of the indoor unit air outlet 113, and the air guide structure 12 is movable relative to the indoor unit body 11 to change the distance between the air guide structure 12 and the indoor unit air outlet 113.

[0048] In the related art, the air outlet range of the air conditioner indoor unit is generally adjusted by changing the speed of the wind wheel or by changing the direction of the air guide grille to adjust the air outlet direction of the indoor unit. The adjustment method is single and cannot meet the adjustment requirements of new air conditioners.

[0049] In the embodiment of the present application, the indoor unit body 11 is provided with an indoor unit air outlet 113, which can be located at the top of the indoor unit body 11. The air guide structure 12 is movable relative to the indoor unit body 11 and can be used to guide the airflow blown out of the indoor unit air outlet 113. As the air guide structure 12 moves relative to the indoor unit body 11, the distance between the air guide structure 12 and the indoor unit air outlet 113 can change, thereby changing the air outlet trajectory of the indoor unit.

[0050] Specifically, due to the wall attachment effect of the airflow, the airflow will flow along the side walls of the indoor unit air outlet 113 and the side walls of the air guide structure 12. By changing the distance of the air guide structure 12 relative to the indoor unit air outlet 113, the flow rate and flow direction of the airflow are changed, so that the coverage area of ​​the airflow after flowing out of the indoor unit air outlet 113 is also changed, thereby achieving adjustment of the airflow direction and coverage area of ​​the air conditioner indoor unit 1. This adjustment method has a small movement range of the air guide structure 12, and the power required for adjustment is small. The movement of the air guide structure 12 can achieve a wide range of airflow adjustment.

[0051] According to the air-conditioning indoor unit 1 of the present invention, since the air-conditioning indoor unit 1 is provided with an air-guiding structure 12, the air-guiding structure 12 can move relative to the indoor unit air outlet 113, and by changing the distance between the air-guiding structure 12 and the indoor unit air outlet 113, the air outlet angle of the air-conditioning indoor unit can be adjusted. The movement amplitude of the air-guiding structure 12 is small, and the range of the adjusted air outlet angle is large. The adjustment of the air outlet angle of the air-conditioning indoor unit 1 is more flexible, thereby improving the user experience.

[0052] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the indoor unit body 11 includes a main body 111 and a terminal air outlet portion 112 arranged on the main body 111, the open end of the terminal air outlet portion 112 forms an indoor unit air outlet 113, the inner wall of the terminal air outlet portion 112 is constructed as a first air guide surface 114, and the surface of the air guide structure 12 facing the terminal air outlet portion 112 is constructed as a second air guide surface 121.

[0053] The main body 111 may be provided with an evaporator, a wind wheel, and a fan 15 for driving the wind wheel to rotate, and other components for processing the airflow inside the air conditioner indoor unit. The terminal air outlet 112 is provided on the main body 111. The terminal air outlet 112 may be used to guide the airflow processed by the main body 111. The terminal air outlet 112 may be constructed in a ring shape to guide the airflow flowing through the terminal air outlet 112. The inner peripheral surface of the terminal air outlet 112 is a first air guide surface 114, and the first air guide surface 114 may serve as a first limiting surface for limiting the flow direction of the airflow. The air guide structure 12 The surface facing the terminal air outlet 112 is constructed as a second air guide surface 121. The air guide structure 12 can be arranged in the middle part of the ring of the terminal air outlet 112, and the air guide structure 12 can be close to or far away from the terminal air outlet 112. The second air guide surface 121 arranged on the air guide structure 12 can cooperate with the first air guide surface 114. During the flow of air, the second air guide surface 121 serves as the second limiting surface of the air flow. Through the limitation of the first air guide surface 114 and the second air guide surface 121, the angle of the air flow generated in the air-conditioning indoor unit 1 is guided, and the angle adjustment range of the air-conditioning indoor unit 1 is more flexible and wide.

[0054] like Figure 3 and Figure 9 As shown, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the first air-guiding surface 114 is constructed as a first curved surface that curves toward the air-guiding structure 12, and the second air-guiding surface 121 is constructed as a second curved surface that curves away from the terminal air outlet portion 112. In some embodiments, an air outlet is provided at the top of the main body 111, and the terminal air outlet portion 112 is provided at the top of the main body 111. The first air-guiding surface 114 is constructed as a first curved surface that curves toward the air-guiding structure 12, so that under the guidance of the first air-guiding surface 114, the airflow is discharged from the top of the main body 111 and blown toward the circumference of the air-conditioning indoor unit 1 along the curvature of the first curved surface; and the second air-guiding surface 121 is constructed as a second curved surface that curves toward the direction away from the terminal air outlet portion 112, so that the airflow is also blown toward the circumference of the air-conditioning indoor unit 1 under the guidance of the second air-guiding surface 121.

[0055] It should be noted here that if Figure 9As shown, the flow direction of the airflow in the main body 111 is toward the upper side, and after passing through the first air guide surface 114 and the second air guide surface 121, the flow direction of the airflow is inclined upward toward the circumference of the air-conditioning indoor unit 1, and by changing the distance between the air guide structure 12 and the indoor unit air outlet 113, the inclination angle of the airflow can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the air outlet range of the indoor unit air outlet 113 in the indoor unit.

[0056] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the air conditioner indoor unit 1 further includes a wind gathering structure 13, which is arranged corresponding to the indoor unit air outlet 113 and is used to gather the wind from the indoor unit body 11 and guide it to the indoor unit air outlet 113. In the present application, the indoor unit body 11 includes a main body 111 and a terminal air outlet 112. The air outlet is arranged at the top of the main body 111, and the indoor unit air outlet 113 is arranged on the terminal air outlet 112. The wind gathering structure 13 can be arranged between the air outlet and the indoor unit air outlet 113. The wind gathering structure 13 is located at the top of the main body 111, and at least part of the wind gathering structure 13 is located at the upstream end of the indoor unit air outlet 113. The airflow generated by the main body 111 is first gathered by the wind gathering structure 13 and then guided out through the terminal air outlet 112. The arrangement of the wind gathering structure 13 can increase the flow rate of the airflow, so that the airflow coverage range of the air conditioner indoor unit 1 is wider.

[0057] like Figure 3-5 As shown, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the air gathering structure 13 includes an air gathering body 131 and an air gathering cover 132 disposed on the air gathering body 131. The air gathering cover 132 is constructed as a truncated cone-shaped cover having a notch 1321. The small diameter end of the air gathering structure 13 is closer to the indoor unit outlet than the large diameter end. The truncated cone-shaped cover can be disposed at the air outlet of the main body 111, wherein the air outlet of the main body 111 can be a circular air outlet. The airflow from the air outlet is collected on the inner surface of the air gathering cover and blown out through the notch 1321, so that the airflow from the circular air outlet is collected at the notch 1321, thereby achieving airflow collection, increasing the flow rate and flow rate of the airflow at the notch 1321, and making the air conditioner indoor unit 1 suitable for a wider range of uses.

[0058] like Figure 3 As shown, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the inner surface of the wind gathering cover 132 is constructed as a concave third arc surface. By constructing the inner surface of the wind gathering cover 132 as a concave third arc surface, the airflow blown out through the air outlet on the main body 111 can converge more smoothly on the inner surface of the wind gathering cover 132, reducing the interference of the inner surface of the wind gathering cover 132 on the airflow, helping to improve the gathering effect of the wind gathering cover 132 on the airflow, and further improving the flow rate of the airflow.

[0059] It should be noted that the inner surface of the air collecting cover 132 is concave in a direction away from the main body 111 .

[0060] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the wind gathering structure 13 also includes an annular grille bar 133, a part of the annular grille bar 133 is arranged on the wind gathering cover 132 and the other part spans the gap 1321. The annular grille bar 133 can surround the outer periphery of the truncated cone-shaped wind gathering cover 132. On the one hand, the annular grille bar 133 can improve the structural strength of the wind gathering cover 132. On the other hand, the annular grille bar 133 can guide the airflow at the position of the gap 1321. The annular grille bar 133 has a certain inclination angle, and the extension direction of the annular grille bar 133 is not less than 45° with the horizontal direction. Since the airflow has a certain gravity, the annular grille bar 133 can enable the airflow blown out through the gap 1321 to cover a wider range.

[0061] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the annular grille bars 133 may be multiple concentrically arranged annular grille bars 133 with different diameters. Multiple annular grille bars 133 can further strengthen the structural strength of the wind gathering structure 13 and enhance the guiding effect on the airflow at the notch 1321.

[0062] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the wind gathering structure 13 is rotatably connected to the main body 111. By rotating the wind gathering structure 13, the direction of the notch 1321 in the wind gathering structure 13 can be adjusted, thereby changing the air outlet direction of the wind gathering structure 13. The wind gathering structure 13 is rotatably set on the main body 111, so that the air outlet direction of the air-conditioning indoor unit 1 can be adjusted, further improving the air outlet coverage range of the air-conditioning indoor unit.

[0063] According to one embodiment of the present invention, a first driving unit 101 is provided in the main body 111, and the driving end of the first driving unit 101 is connected to the wind gathering structure 13 so as to be suitable for driving the wind gathering structure 13 to rotate. Specifically, the main body 111 can be constructed as a cylindrical structure, and an internal air duct suitable for air flow is formed inside the main body 111. A mounting bracket for supporting the first driving unit 101 can be provided in the internal air duct, and the driving end of the driving unit extends toward the upper side, and the rotation axis of the driving end coincides with the rotation axis of the wind gathering structure 13. The driving unit can be constructed as a motor, and the driving end can be a motor shaft. The motor shaft drives the wind gathering structure 13 to rotate, thereby adjusting the position of the notch 1321 on the wind gathering cover 132 to change the air outlet direction of the air conditioner indoor unit 1.

[0064] Furthermore, a lower grille 14 is provided between the first driving part and the wind gathering structure 13. The lower grille 14 can be overlapped on the upper end of the main body 111. The lower grille 14 can serve as an air outlet of the main body 111 to guide the airflow processed by the main body 111 to the wind gathering structure. The lower grille 14 can further disturb the airflow to reduce the wind pressure of the airflow, thereby improving the windless effect of the air conditioner.

[0065] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the air guide structure 12 is disposed on the air gathering structure 13 and can move relative to the air gathering structure 13 in a direction closer to or farther away from the air gathering structure 13. The air gathering structure 13 is disposed on the inner side of the terminal air outlet 112, and the air guide structure 12 is movably disposed on the air gathering structure 13. When the air guide structure 12 approaches the air gathering structure 13, the air guide structure 12 is also close to the terminal air outlet 112. When the air guide structure 12 is away from the air gathering structure 13, the air guide structure 12 is also away from the terminal air outlet 112. By disposing the air guide structure 12 on the air gathering structure 13, the distance between the air guide structure 12 and the terminal air outlet 112 can be changed as the air guide structure 12 approaches or departs from the air gathering structure 13, thereby adjusting the distance between the air guide structure 12 and the indoor air outlet 113 to adjust the air outlet direction of the indoor air outlet 113. The air gathering structure 13 can serve as the base of the air guide structure 12 to ensure the stable movement of the air guide structure 12.

[0066] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the wind gathering structure 13 includes a wind gathering body 131 and a wind gathering cover 132 arranged on the wind gathering body 131. An installation space is provided in the wind gathering body 131. A second driving unit for driving the wind guide structure 12 to move is provided in the installation space. The second driving unit is suitable for driving the wind guide structure 12 close to or away from the wind gathering cover 132. The second driving unit provides power for the movement of the wind guide structure 12.

[0067] According to one embodiment of the present invention, a first transmission part is provided on the wind guide structure 12, and a second transmission part suitable for transmission cooperation with the first transmission part is provided in the wind gathering body 131. The second driving part drives the second transmission part to move, and the second transmission part cooperates with the first transmission part to move the first transmission part, thereby driving the wind guide structure 12 to approach or move away from the wind gathering structure 13.

[0068] The first transmission unit is configured as a gear 1311 rotatably disposed within the air concentrator body 131. Gear 1311 is connected to the output end of the second drive unit. The second transmission unit is configured as a rack 122 extending into the air concentrator body 131 and mating with gear 1311. While the first and second transmission units utilize a rack-and-gear coupling, other transmission coupling arrangements are also possible. The second drive unit can be configured as a motor, with the output end of the second drive unit being a motor shaft. The motor shaft engages with gear 1311 to drive gear 1311's rotation. Gear 1311's gear shaft 1312 is disposed within the air concentrator body 131 and remains fixed relative to the air concentrator body 131. Driven by the second drive unit, gear 1311 rotates, driving rack 122, causing gear 1311 to move relative to rack 122. Rack 122 rises in its extension direction, thereby moving the air guide structure 12 up and down. This allows the air guide structure 12 to move closer to or further from the terminal air outlet 112, thereby adjusting the air outlet angle of the indoor unit.

[0069] like Figure 4 As shown, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the upper end of the wind gathering body 131 is opened to form an open mouth, and a support plate 1313 for supporting the second driving part is provided on the upper side of the open mouth, and a matching bracket 123 extending toward the wind gathering body 131 is provided on the side of the wind guide structure 12 facing the wind gathering body 131, and a rack 122 is provided on the matching bracket 123, and a matching hole 13131 suitable for the matching bracket 123 to pass through is provided on the support plate 1313.

[0070] A gear shaft 1312 is provided on the matching bracket 123 , and the gear 1311 is rotatably provided on the gear shaft 1312 . A avoidance groove 1231 for avoiding the gear shaft 1312 is provided on the matching bracket 123 , and the extension direction of the avoidance groove 1231 is the same as the moving direction of the air guide structure 12 .

[0071] The avoidance groove 1231 on the mating bracket 123 extends in the vertical direction, and the gear shaft 1312 extends in the horizontal direction. After the mating bracket 123 passes through the mating hole 13131 and enters the air collecting body 131, the avoidance groove 1231 is used to avoid the gear shaft 1312, thereby preventing the gear shaft 1312 from interfering with the movement of the mating bracket 123. At the same time, it can also guide the movement direction of the air guide structure 12.

[0072] In one embodiment of the present invention, the mating bracket 123 is configured as a cuboid extending in the up-down direction, and the mating hole 13131 is configured as a rectangular hole matching the cross-section of the mating bracket 123 .

[0073] According to one embodiment of the present invention, a wiring harness through hole 1314 is provided on the peripheral wall of the wind collecting body 131, and the wiring harness of the second driving unit passes through the wiring harness through hole 1314 and is connected to the power supply end and the control end. The control end can be used to control the second driving unit to drive the air guide structure 12 close to or away from the terminal air outlet 112.

[0074] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the indoor unit air outlet 113 is provided at the top of the indoor unit body, and the air guide structure 12 is disposed above the indoor unit air outlet 113 and is movable up and down relative to the indoor unit air outlet 113. In this embodiment, the air conditioner indoor unit 1 may have a front air outlet and a top air outlet. The air guide structure 12 adjusts the airflow direction of the top air outlet by moving up and down. The air guide structure 12 adjusts the distance between the air guide structure 12 and the indoor unit air outlet 113 by moving closer to or further away from the terminal air outlet 112, thereby adjusting the airflow range.

[0075] In some embodiments of the present invention, the air guide structure 12 can move downward and be stored below the indoor unit air outlet 113. The terminal air outlet portion 112 is constructed in a ring shape, and the upper edge of the terminal air outlet portion 112 can be constructed as the indoor unit air outlet 113. In the projection of the air guide structure 12 and the terminal air outlet portion 112 in the moving direction of the air guide structure 12, the air guide structure 12 is located inside the terminal air outlet portion 112. The air guide structure 12 is moved to the lower side of the terminal air outlet portion 112 to be stored in the indoor unit air outlet 113, thereby realizing the hiding of the air guide structure 12 and improving the aesthetics of the air-conditioning indoor unit 1.

[0076] In some embodiments of the present invention, the upper surface of the air guide structure 12 is constructed as a rectangle, and the upper surface can be a shaped arc surface. The lower surface of the air guide structure 12 is provided with the second air guide surface 121 in the above embodiment, and the second air guide surface 121 can be set along the edge of the air guide structure 12. There can be four second air guide surfaces 121, and the two adjacent second air guide surfaces 121 are transitioned by an arc, and the second arc surface of the above embodiment is also formed at the arc transition position.

[0077] In some embodiments of the present invention, the interior of the air guide structure 12 is hollow to form a weight-reducing chamber.

[0078] The air-conditioning indoor unit 1 according to the present invention is a cabinet unit.

[0079] The air conditioner according to the present invention will be briefly described below.
