Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in the embodiments of this disclosure according to the specific circumstances.
[0030] Unless otherwise stated, the term "multiple" means two or more.
[0031] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the character " / " represents the symbol for division in a mathematical formula.
[0032] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in the present disclosure can be combined with each other.
[0033] Combination Figure 1-3 As shown, this embodiment of the present disclosure provides an air conditioner, including: a housing 100, a jetting device 200, and a jetting inlet pipe 300. The housing 100 includes an air outlet 101 and internally defines an air outlet cavity 102; the jetting device 200 is disposed on one side of the air outlet 101 and includes a jetting port 201, which is configured to be angle-adjustable; the jetting inlet pipe 300 connects the jetting device 200 and the air outlet cavity 102, and internally provides a switching valve 301.
[0034] The air conditioner provided in this embodiment can be equipped with a jet device 200 on one side of the air outlet 101. The air outlet direction of the jet can be changed by adjusting the angle of the jet port 201 on the jet device 200, and the overall air outlet direction of the air outlet 101 can be changed by the jet, thereby improving the diversity of the overall air outlet mode of the air conditioner. The jet device 200 can be directly connected to the air outlet cavity 102 through the jet inlet pipe 300, without the need to supply air to the jet device 200 separately, which simplifies the structure and reduces costs.
[0035] Optionally, a centrifugal fan 400 is installed inside the air outlet cavity 102, with the air outlet of the centrifugal fan 400 facing the jet device 200, and a heat exchanger 500 is installed between the air outlet of the centrifugal fan 400 and the jet device 200. In this way, by using the centrifugal fan 400 to provide airflow and installing the heat exchanger 500 at the air outlet, a stable airflow that has undergone heat exchange through the heat exchanger 500 can be provided to the air conditioner.
[0036] Optionally, one end of the jet inlet pipe 300 faces the outlet end of the centrifugal fan 400. This allows the air outlet of the centrifugal fan 400 to blow directly onto the jet inlet pipe, making the jet air intake smoother and improving the jet efficiency.
[0037] Optionally, the heat exchanger 500 includes a first heat exchange plate and a second heat exchange plate. One side of the first heat exchange plate is connected to one side of the second heat exchange plate, and the first heat exchange plate and the second heat exchange plate have a set angle to form a conical structure, with the opening of the cone facing the air outlet of the centrifugal fan 400. In this way, the air outlet of the centrifugal fan 400 can pass through the heat exchanger 500 more evenly, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency of the heat exchanger 500.
[0038] Optionally, a sealing baffle 401 is provided around the air outlet end of the centrifugal fan 400, which divides the air outlet cavity 102 into an upper part and a lower part. In this way, by setting the sealing baffle 401 at the air outlet end of the centrifugal fan 400 to separate the space defined inside the housing 100, the airflow at the air inlet and air outlet ends of the centrifugal fan 400 is prevented from mixing, thereby improving the stability of the air conditioning operation.
[0039] Optionally, the outlet of the centrifugal fan 400 is directed vertically towards the upper side inside the housing 100. This allows for efficient air delivery, reduces unnecessary wind resistance, and improves the air delivery efficiency of the centrifugal fan 400.
[0040] Optionally, the housing 100 has an air inlet grille 103 on its side, with the air inlet end of the centrifugal fan 400 facing the air inlet grille 103. This facilitates the centrifugal fan 400 to draw air through the air inlet grille 103, making the airflow smoother, and the air inlet grille 103 effectively filters the airflow, making the air entering the air conditioner cleaner.
[0041] Combination Figure 4-9 As shown, in some embodiments, the air outlet 101 is circular, and the side of the jet device 200 facing the air outlet 101 is also circular. This allows the jet device 200 to align with the air outlet 101. When the airflow passes through the jet device 200 with its circular side near the air outlet 101, the airflow ejected from the air outlet 101 forms a ring-shaped airflow effect. Compared to a direct circular airflow, this provides a longer delivery distance, improving the air conditioning's airflow efficiency. Furthermore, the ring-shaped airflow is more easily influenced by the jet airflow, thus facilitating a shift in the direction of the air conditioning's airflow. This allows the air conditioning system to offer a variety of airflow modes, meeting diverse user needs.
[0042] Optionally, the circular structure has an arc-shaped surface that bulges towards the air outlet 101. This allows the circular structure of the jet device 200 to better fit with the air outlet 101, and the center of the circular structure bulges towards the air outlet 101, thereby guiding the airflow and making the airflow at the air outlet 101 smoother. This can form a ring-shaped air outlet pattern, increase the air delivery distance, and have a better air outlet effect.
[0043] Optionally, the jet device 200 is disposed within the air outlet cavity 102. In this way, the structure of the jet device 200 is more stable when installed within the air outlet cavity 102, and the airflow within the air outlet cavity 102 flows out through the air outlet 101 under the guidance of the arc-shaped surface on the side of the jet device 200, which can cooperate with the air outlet 101 to form a ring-like air outlet effect, thereby increasing the air delivery distance and achieving a better air outlet effect.
[0044] Optionally, the jet device 200 includes a jet channel 202 and a rotating part 203. The jet channel 202 is connected to the jet inlet pipe 300; the rotating part 203 is rotatably connected to one end of the jet channel 202 and closes that end; wherein the jet port 201 is provided on the rotating part 203. In this way, the rotating part 203 blocks one end of the jet channel 202, and the rotating part 203 is provided with the jet port 201, which can rotate with the rotating part 203, so that the airflow in the jet channel 202 flows out through the jet port 201. The direction of the jet changes with the rotation of the rotating part 203, thereby driving the overall air outlet of the air conditioner to change, so that the air conditioner has a variety of air outlet modes to meet people's diverse needs for air outlet modes.
[0045] Optionally, the jet channel 202 includes a cylindrical channel 204 and a conical channel 205. The larger diameter end of the conical channel 205 is connected to the cylindrical channel 204, and the smaller diameter end of the conical channel 205 faces the rotating part 203. In this way, the jet channel 202 is divided into a cylindrical channel 204 and a conical channel 205. The cylindrical channel 204 provides a larger flow area for the airflow, increasing the airflow rate and making the airflow distribution more uniform, thereby ensuring the stability of the airflow. The conical channel 205 is structurally more compatible with the installation structure of the rotating part 203, allowing for a seamless connection between the conical channel 205 and the rotating part 203, preventing airflow loss. Furthermore, as the airflow flows from the cylindrical channel 204 to the conical channel 205, the reduced flow area creates a funnel effect, increasing the airflow velocity and allowing the airflow to quickly flow towards the rotating part 203, thus increasing the jet velocity.
[0046] It is worth noting that the funnel effect refers to the phenomenon that when fluid moves from a section of a pipe with a larger cross-sectional area to a section with a smaller cross-sectional area, the fluid velocity increases, similar to the phenomenon of water flowing through a funnel.
[0047] Optionally, the cylindrical channel 204 and the conical channel 205 are integrally formed. This integrally formed structure is more stable, making it less likely for the cylindrical channel 204 and the conical channel 205 to shift in position, preventing airflow loss during the flow process, and improving the stability of the airflow.
[0048] Optionally, the rotating part 203 is a bowl-shaped structure, and its center is coaxial with the center of the air outlet 101. In this way, by placing the bowl-shaped rotating part 203 at the center of the air outlet 101, the central area of the rotating part 203 is blocked, preventing the central area of the air outlet 101 from being empty, so that the air outlet 101 can output air more stably, and the overall structural layout is more reasonable.
[0049] Alternatively, a bowl-shaped structure refers to a structure that protrudes outward from the middle, narrows towards the center at the mouth and bottom, and has a smaller diameter at the mouth than at the middle. This makes the outer surface of the bowl-shaped structure arc-shaped, which, when applied to an air conditioner, guides the airflow and improves the air conditioner's efficiency.
[0050] Optionally, the opening of the bowl-shaped structure is positioned facing one end of the jet channel 202. In this way, the airflow in the jet channel 202 enters the rotating part 203 through the opening of the bowl-shaped structure, allowing the airflow in the jet channel 202 to enter the rotating part 203 stably, making the airflow smoother and improving the stability of the airflow.
[0051] Optionally, the bottom of the bowl-shaped structure is an arc-shaped surface. In this way, the arc-shaped surface structure can guide the airflow of the air conditioner and cooperate with the air outlet 101 of the air conditioner to make the airflow of the air conditioner ring-shaped. The jet device 200 can better drive the ring-shaped airflow deviation, so that the air conditioner as a whole has a variety of airflow modes and improves the airflow effect.
[0052] Optionally, one end of the jet channel 202 is provided with a horn-shaped connecting structure 206, and the diameter of the rim of the horn-shaped connecting structure 206 is the same as the diameter of the rim of the bowl-shaped structure. In this way, the jet channel 202 is connected to the bowl-shaped structure through the horn-shaped connecting structure 206. When installed in an air conditioner, the horn-shaped connecting structure 206 has a circumferential guiding effect on the airflow flowing outside it, so that the airflow forms an annular air outlet area under the guidance of the horn-shaped connecting structure 206, thereby improving the air outlet efficiency of the air conditioner.
[0053] Optionally, the rim of the flared connecting structure 206 and the rim of the bowl-shaped structure are connected by a bearing. This bearing makes the connection between the flared connecting structure 206 and the bowl-shaped structure more flexible, allowing relative rotation between them and improving the stability of the rotating part 203 of the bowl-shaped structure.
[0054] Optionally, the center of the rotating part 203 and the center of the jet channel 202 are on the same axis. This ensures that the airflow in the jet channel 202 can flow smoothly and stably to the rotating part 203, further improving the airflow efficiency.
[0055] Optionally, one end of the horn-shaped connecting structure 206 is a first circular connecting port 207, and the other end is a second circular connecting port 208. The first circular connecting port 207 is connected to one end of the jet channel 202, and the second circular connecting port 208 is connected to one end of the rotating part 203. In this way, by connecting the first circular connecting port 207 and the second circular connecting port 208 of the horn-shaped connecting structure 206 to the jet channel 202 and the rotating part 203 respectively, the horn-shaped connecting structure 206 can tightly connect the jet channel 202 and the rotating part 203, ensuring that the airflow flows smoothly and stably from the jet channel 202 to the rotating part 203.
[0056] Optionally, the diameter of the first circular connection port 207 is smaller than the diameter of the second circular connection port 208. This allows the horn-shaped connection structure 206 to more tightly connect the bowl-shaped structure to the jet channel 202. When installed in an air conditioner, the airflow from the air conditioner passes through the horn-shaped connection structure 206, which guides the airflow passing through it. Combined with the air outlet 101 of the air conditioner, this creates a ring-shaped airflow, giving the air conditioner a variety of airflow modes and improving its airflow performance.
[0057] Optionally, the diameter of the first circular connection port 207 is half the diameter of the second circular connection port 208. In this way, the airflow passing through the horn-shaped connection structure 206 can be stably guided, and in conjunction with the air outlet 101 of the air conditioner, the air outlet of the air conditioner is made to be circular, so that the air conditioner as a whole has a variety of air outlet modes, further improving the air outlet effect of the air conditioner.
[0058] Optionally, the smaller-diameter end of the tapered channel 205 is inserted into the flared connecting structure 206 via the first circular connection port 207 and connected to the rotating part 203. In this way, the smaller-diameter end of the tapered channel 205 is structurally more adaptable to the installation structure of the flared connecting structure 206, and can be inserted into the flared connecting structure 206, making installation simpler and easier to operate.
[0059] Optionally, the jet device 200 further includes a drive device 600. The drive device 600 is connected to the rotating part 203 and is configured to drive the rotating part 203 to rotate. In this way, the drive device 600 provides power to the rotating part 203, so that the jet port 201 can rotate with the rotating part 203. As a result, when the airflow in the jet channel 202 is ejected through the jet port 201, the direction of the jet changes with the rotation of the rotating part 203, thereby changing the overall air outlet direction of the air conditioner.
[0060] Optionally, the drive device 600 includes: a ring gear 601, a gear 602, and a drive motor 603. The ring gear 601 is fixedly connected to one side of the rotating part 203, the gear 602 meshes with the ring gear 601, and the output shaft of the drive motor 603 is connected to the gear 602. Thus, the gear 602 rotates under the drive of the drive motor 603. Through the meshing structure between the gear 602 and the ring gear 601, the ring gear 601 rotates, thereby driving the rotating part 203 to rotate. This makes the drive more direct and efficient. Furthermore, under the drive of the drive device 600, the position of the jet outlet 201 on the rotating part 203 changes accordingly, thereby changing the direction of the airflow ejected from the jet outlet 201, allowing the jet outlet 201 to discharge air in multiple directions. The ring gear 601 is located on the side of the rotating part 203 connected to the horn-shaped connecting structure 206.
[0061] Optionally, the drive motor 603 is fixedly installed inside the horn-shaped connecting structure 206. This not only makes reasonable use of the internal space of the horn-shaped connecting structure 206 and prevents the drive motor 603 from occupying a large installation space of the rotating part 203, but also ensures that the drive motor 603 does not affect the rotation of the rotating part 203, thereby improving the stability of the rotating part 203 during rotation.
[0062] Optionally, the drive motor 603 is fixed to the inner wall of the horn-shaped connecting structure 206 or the conical channel 205 via the motor bracket 604. This makes the drive motor 603 more securely fixed and improves the stability of the rotation of the drive rotating part 203.
[0063] Optionally, the rotating part 203 includes an airflow passage 209. The airflow passage 209 is disposed inside the rotating part 203, with one end connected to the jet channel 202 and the other end connected to the jet outlet 201. In this way, the airflow is transported from the jet channel 202 to the jet outlet 201 through the airflow passage 209, so that the airflow can be kept smooth during the rotation of the rotating part 203, thereby improving the stability of the jet airflow.
[0064] Optionally, the airflow passage 209 and the jet channel 202 are rotatably connected. This rotatable connection makes the connection between the airflow passage 209 and the jet channel 202 more flexible, ensuring that the airflow passage 209 and the jet channel 202 can rotate relative to each other, preventing the jet channel 202 from affecting the rotation of the airflow passage 209, and improving the stability of the rotation of the airflow passage 209.
[0065] Optionally, the airflow passage 209 is offset from the center of the rotating part 203 to the periphery. In this way, the inlet of the airflow passage 209 is located at the center of the rotating part 203, ensuring that the inlet of the airflow passage 209 and the airflow passage 209 remain on the same axis during the rotation of the rotating part 203. This maintains stable communication between the rotating part 203 and the airflow passage 209 during rotation, thereby improving the stability of the airflow. Furthermore, the offset of the airflow passage 209 from the center of the rotating part 203 to the periphery allows the outlet of the airflow passage 209 to face the jet outlet 201, thus stably delivering the airflow within the airflow passage 209 to the jet outlet 201, further improving airflow efficiency while simultaneously increasing the outlet efficiency of the jet outlet 201.
[0066] Optionally, the flow area of the airflow passage 209 gradually decreases from the jet channel 202 to the jet outlet 201. This causes the flow area of the airflow within the airflow passage 209 to gradually decrease along the flow direction, converting static pressure into dynamic pressure and increasing the airflow velocity at the jet outlet 201. This allows the jet to maintain a higher flow velocity, which in turn better deflects the airflow direction of the annular air outlet 101, enabling the air conditioner to have various airflow modes to meet diverse user needs.
[0067] Optionally, the maximum flow area of the airflow passage 209 is greater than or equal to twice its minimum flow area, and less than or equal to four times its minimum flow area. Thus, when the maximum flow area of the airflow passage 209 is less than twice its minimum flow area, the difference between the maximum and minimum flow areas is too small, resulting in a weak funnel effect within the airflow passage 209. This reduces the efficiency of the airflow converting from static pressure to dynamic pressure, leading to a slower increase in airflow velocity and consequently lowering the outlet velocity of the jet nozzle 201, thus reducing the jetting effect. Conversely, when the maximum flow area of the airflow passage 209 is more than four times its minimum flow area, the difference between the maximum and minimum flow areas is too large, causing the airflow to flow too quickly towards the minimum flow area. This results in excessive airflow accumulation and congestion within the airflow passage 209, leading to excessive wind resistance and affecting normal airflow. Therefore, setting the maximum flow area of the airflow passage 209 to between two and four times its minimum flow area allows for a funnel effect during airflow within the passage, increasing airflow velocity, while also reducing wind resistance and ensuring more stable airflow.
[0068] Optionally, the maximum flow area of the airflow passage 209 is three times its minimum flow area. This ensures stable airflow within the airflow passage 209 while creating a funnel effect during the flow, increasing the airflow velocity and thus enhancing the jet effect.
[0069] Optionally, the jet nozzle 201 has an arc-shaped structure. This allows the airflow ejected from the jet nozzle 201 to form an arc-shaped surface, increasing the air outlet area of the jet nozzle 201. This enables the airflow from the jet nozzle 201 to better drive the change in the overall air outlet angle of the air conditioner, causing the air outlet to shift and thus improving the jet effect.
[0070] Optionally, the arc of the jet nozzle 201 is greater than or equal to π / 3 and less than or equal to 2π / 3. When the arc of the jet nozzle 201 is less than π / 3, the nozzle becomes too small, causing airflow to accumulate at the nozzle, resulting in airflow congestion and preventing rapid ejection, thus reducing jet velocity and effect. When the arc of the jet nozzle 201 is greater than π / 3, the airflow is too smooth and cannot be ejected at high speed, causing the airflow from the nozzle to fail to affect the overall airflow of the air conditioner, reducing the airflow effect. Setting the arc between 2π / 3 and π / 3 allows the airflow from the jet nozzle 201 to better drive changes in the overall airflow angle of the air conditioner, causing the airflow to shift and thus improving the jet effect.
[0071] Optionally, the jet outlet 201 is positioned within a preset distance of the circumference of the rotating part 203. This positioning of the jet outlet 201 within the preset distance of the circumference of the rotating part 203 brings it closer to the circumference of the rotating part 203, and the jet airflow from the jet outlet 201 is closer to the air outlet path of the air outlet 101. This allows for a better change in the airflow direction of the air outlet 101 through the jet airflow, enabling the air conditioner to have a variety of airflow modes to meet diverse needs for airflow patterns.
[0072] Optionally, the jet nozzle 201 protrudes from the bowl-shaped structure and is inclined. This protrusion increases the jet nozzle's range, allowing it to deliver air further. Furthermore, the inclined arrangement of the jet nozzle on the bowl-shaped structure allows the airflow to form an angle with the air conditioner's outlet, better controlling the overall airflow angle and thus enabling the air conditioner to operate in various modes, further improving its performance.
[0073] Optionally, a guide vane 210 is provided on one side of the jet outlet 201. In this way, the guide vane 210 is provided on one side of the jet outlet 201 to guide the air outlet of the jet outlet 201, which can change the air outlet direction of the jet outlet 201 and increase the air delivery distance of the jet outlet. In turn, the airflow ejected from the jet outlet 201 drives the overall air outlet angle of the air conditioner to shift, so that the air conditioner can have a variety of air outlet modes.
[0074] Optionally, the guide vane 210 is disposed on the side of the jet outlet 201 away from the center of the rotating part 203, and the guide vane 210 is inclined as a whole towards the center of the rotating part 203. In this way, it has a guiding effect on the air outlet of the jet outlet 201, causing the air outlet direction of the jet outlet 201 to deviate towards the center of the rotating part 203, thereby changing the air outlet direction of the jet outlet 201 and improving the air outlet effect.
[0075] Optionally, the preset distance is less than or equal to one-third of the radius of the bowl-shaped structure. If the preset distance is greater than one-third of the radius of the bowl-shaped structure, the airflow ejected from the jet nozzle 201 will be farther from the air outlet of the air conditioner, thus reducing the impact of the airflow ejected from the jet nozzle 201 on the air outlet. This prevents the air outlet from shifting with the airflow ejected from the jet nozzle 201, reducing the overall airflow efficiency of the air conditioner. Therefore, setting the preset distance to less than or equal to one-third of the radius of the bowl-shaped structure not only allows the airflow ejected from the jet nozzle 201 to be closer to the air outlet of the air conditioner, and the air outlet will shift with the airflow ejected from the jet nozzle 201, improving the overall airflow efficiency of the air conditioner, but also allows the airflow ejected from the jet nozzle 201 to form a certain angle with the air outlet of the air conditioner, better driving changes in the overall air outlet angle of the air conditioner, thereby enabling the air conditioner to have a variety of air outlet modes.
[0076] Understandably, the preset distance is the distance between the circumference of the bowl-shaped structure and the jet opening 201.
[0077] Combination Figure 10-12 As shown, in some embodiments, the jet device 200 further includes a power unit 700. The power unit 700 is connected to the jet device 200 and configured to drive the jet device 200 to adjust its distance from the air outlet 101. Thus, the distance between the jet device 200 and the air outlet 101 is adjustable. When the jet device 200 is close to the air outlet 101, it will obstruct the airflow from the air outlet 101 to a certain extent, thereby reducing the airflow volume. When the jet device 200 is far from the air outlet 101, it can allow the air outlet 101 to flow freely, increasing the airflow volume. By adjusting the overall airflow direction and airflow volume of the air conditioner through this movable jet device 200, the air conditioner can have various airflow modes to meet people's diverse needs for airflow modes.
[0078] Optionally, the power unit 700 includes a screw rod 701 and a motor 702. The screw rod 701 is threadedly connected to the jet device 200; the motor 702 is connected to the screw rod 701 and is configured to drive the screw rod 701 to rotate, thereby causing the jet device 200 to move along the screw rod 701. In this way, the motor 702 drives the spiral rod 701 to rotate, which in turn causes the jetting device 200 sleeved on the spiral rod 701 to move along the spiral rod 701 under the rotation of the spiral rod 701, changing the position of the jetting device 200. When the jetting device 200 is close to the air outlet 101, it will obstruct the airflow of the air outlet 101 to a certain extent, thereby reducing the airflow. When the jetting device 200 is far away from the air outlet 101, it can make the air outlet 101 unobstructed and increase the airflow. By adjusting the gap between the jetting device 200 and the air outlet 101, the airflow of the air outlet 101 can be adjusted, thereby enabling the air conditioner to have a variety of airflow modes to meet people's diverse needs for airflow modes.
[0079] Optionally, one end of the helical rod 701 is connected to the inner wall of the housing 100 via a bearing. This keeps the position of the helical rod 701 fixed and allows it to rotate freely, so that the jet device 200 can move smoothly along the helical rod 701 under the action of rotation.
[0080] Optionally, the spiral rod 701 is arranged perpendicular to the plane where the air outlet 101 is located. In this way, the jet device 200, which moves along the spiral rod 701, can move perpendicular to the air outlet 101, so that the jet device 200 can better guide the airflow towards the air outlet 101 and improve the air outlet effect.
[0081] Optionally, the jetting device 200 is provided with a first connecting hole 703, which is sleeved on the spiral rod 701, and the first connecting hole 703 is provided with an internal thread. In this way, the jetting device 200 can be stably connected to the spiral rod 701 through the threaded connection structure, and the threaded structure can better drive the movement of the jetting device 200.
[0082] Optionally, the power unit 700 further includes a slide rail 704. The slide rail 704 is parallel to the screw rod 701 and symmetrically arranged about the jetting device 200, with the jetting device 200 mounted on the slide rail 704. This confines the jetting device 200 to slide on the slide rail 704, thereby improving the stability of the movement of the jetting device 200 and allowing for better adjustment of its position.
[0083] Optionally, a second connecting hole 705 is provided on the jetting device 200 at a position symmetrical to the first connecting hole 703, and the slide rail 704 passes through the second connecting hole 705. In this way, the slide rail 704 and the screw rod 701 are installed symmetrically, and the jetting device 200 is confined to slide on the slide rail 704, thereby improving the stability of the movement of the jetting device 200 and better adjusting the position of the jetting device 200.
[0084] Optionally, a sliding bushing is provided inside the second connecting hole 705. This reduces the friction between the slide rail 704 and the second connecting hole 705, resulting in less resistance to movement of the jet device 200 and more stable movement.
[0085] Optionally, the jet channel 202 includes a fixed part 211 and a telescopic part 212. One end of the telescopic part 212 is movably connected to the fixed part 211, and the other end is connected to the rotating part 203. In this way, the position of one end of the jet channel 202 can be kept fixed, the position of the air inlet end can be stabilized, and the stability of the air inlet can be improved. The other end is telescopic, which can keep the rotating part 203 connected to the jet channel 202 even when the position of the rotating part 203 changes, thereby improving the stability of jet ventilation.
[0086] Optionally, part of the jet channel 202 is a corrugated tube. This results in a simple structure, lower production cost, and better implementation of the expansion and contraction function.
[0087] Optionally, the size of the end of the jet device 200 near the air outlet 101 is greater than or equal to the size of the air outlet 101, and it is configured to completely block the air outlet 101. In this way, the jet device 200 can completely seal the air outlet 101, improve the sealing effect of the air outlet 101, and prevent dust from entering the air outlet 101 when the air conditioner is not in use, thereby affecting the overall service life of the air conditioner.
[0088] Optionally, the jet device 200 has a sealing ring with the same diameter as the air outlet 101 at one end near the air outlet 101. In this way, when the jet device 200 blocks the circular air outlet 101, the sealing effect can be improved, preventing dust from entering the air conditioner through gaps.
