Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of home appliance technology, such as an air conditioner cabinet unit. Background Technology

[0002] For over a century since its invention, air conditioning has primarily employed traditional mixed ventilation. This method aims to eliminate the entire indoor load by using mechanical force to drive airflow. The supplied air is strongly mixed with the indoor air, achieving a uniform distribution of temperature and humidity throughout the room, but with relatively low temperature efficiency.

[0003] One type of displacement ventilation exists in related technologies, primarily aimed at eliminating part of the load, i.e., the heating or cooling load of the work area, to ensure the comfort or production requirements of those served in the work area. Thermal buoyancy and mechanical force have a synergistic effect, resulting in less intense mixing within the room and higher temperature efficiency.

[0004] In the process of implementing the embodiments of this disclosure, at least the following problems were found in the related art:

[0005] However, displacement ventilation is expensive and has the disadvantage of occupying the lower effective space (for installing static pressure boxes and duct systems). Moreover, for the same cooling load, the system has a larger air volume and higher terminal energy consumption. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To provide a basic understanding of some aspects of the disclosed embodiments, a brief summary is given below. This summary is not intended as a general commentary, nor is it intended to identify key / important components or describe the scope of protection of these embodiments, but rather as a prelude to the detailed description that follows.

[0007] This disclosure provides an air conditioning unit that has high air supply temperature efficiency, while reducing costs and saving energy.

[0008] In some embodiments, the air conditioner cabinet unit includes: a housing, a first air guide, and a second air guide. The housing has a first air outlet facing downward and a second air outlet surrounding part or all of the outer periphery of the first air outlet; the first air guide extends downward along the middle position of the first air outlet and the second air outlet, and includes a first air guide surface capable of guiding the airflow from the second air outlet; the second air guide is disposed corresponding to the first air outlet and located below the first air guide, and includes a second air guide surface capable of guiding the airflow from the first air outlet.

[0009] The air conditioner unit provided in this embodiment can achieve the following technical effects:

[0010] The air outlet is oriented downwards. Under the action of the first air guide, the airflow is quickly delivered into the room, which can accelerate the mixing with the indoor air. Under the guidance of the second air guide, the airflow adheres to the vertical wall of the air conditioner unit and flows downwards. After the airflow hits the ground, it spreads out around the lower side of the air conditioner, forming an effect similar to an "air lake" on the ground. That is, the airflow with low wind speed and small temperature difference spreads evenly along the floor. It combines the advantages of mixed ventilation and displacement ventilation, and overcomes the disadvantages of low temperature efficiency of mixed ventilation and limited application of displacement ventilation. It has high air supply temperature efficiency, while reducing costs and saving energy.

[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 1-4 As shown, this embodiment of the present disclosure provides an air conditioner cabinet unit, including: a housing 100, a first air guide 400, and a second air guide 500. The housing 100 has a first air outlet 200 facing downward and a second air outlet 300 surrounding part or all of the outer periphery of the first air outlet 200; the first air guide 400 extends downward along the middle position between the first air outlet 200 and the second air outlet 300, and includes a first air guide surface capable of guiding the air outlet of the second air outlet 300; the second air guide 500 is disposed corresponding to the first air outlet 200 and located below the first air guide 400, and includes a second air guide surface capable of guiding the air outlet of the first air outlet 200.

[0034] The air conditioning unit provided in this embodiment has its air outlet facing downwards. Under the action of the first guide member 400, the airflow is quickly sent into the room, which can accelerate the mixing with the indoor air. Under the guidance of the second guide member 500, the airflow adheres to the vertical wall of the air conditioning unit and flows downwards. After the airflow hits the ground, it spreads out to the lower perimeter of the air conditioner, forming an effect similar to an "air lake" on the ground. That is, the airflow with low wind speed and small temperature difference spreads evenly along the floor, combining the advantages of mixed ventilation and displacement ventilation. It overcomes the disadvantages of low temperature efficiency of mixed ventilation and limited application of displacement ventilation, and has high air supply temperature efficiency. At the same time, it can reduce costs and save energy.

[0035] Optionally, the first air outlet 200 is a heating air outlet, and the second air outlet 300 is a cooling air outlet. In this way, due to the guiding effect of the second guide component 500, the airflow from the first air outlet 200 flows downwards along the vertical wall of the air conditioner unit, and after impacting the ground, it spreads outwards around the lower side of the air conditioner, creating an effect similar to an "air lake" on the ground. Therefore, by using the first air outlet 200 as a heating air outlet, in winter use, hot air is blown out from the first air outlet 200, and under the guiding effect of the second guide component 500, the hot air can form an effect similar to an "air lake" on the ground. That is, the low-velocity, small-temperature-difference airflow is evenly diffused along the floor, resulting in high air supply temperature efficiency. The hot air blows downwards to warm the feet, improving user comfort. Secondly... Because the airflow from the second air outlet 300 is evenly distributed around the perimeter under the guidance of the first air guide 400, it can accelerate the mixing with indoor air. Therefore, the second air outlet 300 is used as a cooling air outlet. In summer, when used, cold air is blown out from the second air outlet 300, and the cold air is evenly distributed around the perimeter under the guidance of the first air guide 400, which accelerates the mixing with indoor air, thereby causing the indoor temperature to drop rapidly, making the user feel cooler and improving user comfort. In addition, by designing the air outlets of the first air outlet 200 and the second air outlet 300, the cooling / heating modes can be delivered from different air outlets, further enhancing user comfort.

[0036] Optionally, the housing 100 includes a lower housing portion 101, an upper housing portion 102, and an air duct portion 103. The air duct portion 103 connects the interior of the lower housing portion 101 and the interior of the upper housing portion 102, and is connected to a portion of the upper end face of the lower housing portion 101 and a portion of the lower end face of the upper housing portion 102. This ensures that airflow within the lower housing portion 101 can stably enter the upper housing portion 102 through the air duct portion 103. Furthermore, since the air duct portion 103 connects the portion of the upper end face of the lower housing portion 101 and the portion of the lower end face of the upper housing portion 102, it reduces the space occupied by the air duct portion 103 on the upper end face of the lower housing portion 101 and the lower end face of the upper housing portion 102. This facilitates the placement of the first air outlet 200 and the second air outlet 300, as well as the installation of the first guide member 400 and the second guide member 500, thereby facilitating the rational design of the first air outlet 200 and the second air outlet 300. The installation positions of the first air guide 400 and the second air guide 500 allow the airflow from the first air outlet 200 to flow downwards along the vertical wall of the air conditioner unit under the guidance of the second air guide 500. After the airflow hits the ground, it spreads out to the lower perimeter of the air conditioner, forming an effect similar to an "air lake" on the ground. This allows the airflow from the second air outlet 300 to be evenly distributed to the perimeter under the guidance of the first air guide 400, accelerating the mixing with indoor air. This results in higher air supply temperature efficiency for the air conditioner unit, while also reducing costs and saving energy.

[0037] Optionally, there is a set distance between the first guide member 400 and the second guide member 500. This allows the airflow from the first air outlet 200 to flow downwards between the first guide member 400 and the second guide member 500, so that the airflow, guided by the second guide member 500, adheres to the vertical wall of the air conditioner unit and flows downwards. After hitting the ground, the airflow spreads outwards around the lower side of the air conditioner, forming an effect similar to an "air lake" on the ground. That is, the low-speed, small-temperature-difference airflow is evenly diffused along the floor, resulting in high air supply temperature efficiency.

[0038] Optionally, the sum of the height of the first guide member 400, the height of the second guide member 500, and the set distance is equal to the distance between the lower shell 101 and the upper shell 102. This design facilitates the first air guide 400 to guide the airflow from the second air outlet 300 into the room stably and quickly, preventing excessive airflow turbulence and ensuring more uniform diffusion of the airflow into the room. This improves the stability of the airflow process, resulting in higher air supply temperature efficiency for the air conditioning unit. It also facilitates the stable and rapid guidance of the airflow from the first air outlet 200 to the second air guide 500, allowing the airflow from the first air outlet 200 to flow downwards between the first air guide 400 and the second air guide 500. Under the guidance of the second air guide 500, the airflow from the first air outlet 200 adheres to the vertical wall of the air conditioning unit and flows downwards. After impacting the ground, the airflow diffuses outwards around the lower side of the air conditioner, creating an "air lake" effect on the ground. This low-velocity, low-temperature-difference airflow diffuses evenly along the floor, resulting in high air supply temperature efficiency while reducing costs and saving energy.

[0039] Optionally, the height of the first guide element 400 is greater than the height of the second guide element 500. For example, the height of the first guide element 400 is twice the height of the second guide element 500. This allows the first guide element 400 to guide the airflow from the second air outlet 300 while simultaneously and stably and quickly directing the airflow from the first air outlet 200 to the second guide element 500. This prevents the airflow from the first air outlet 200 from wandering around during its journey to the second guide element 500, improving the stability of the airflow process. Consequently, under the guidance of the second guide element 500, the airflow from the first air outlet 200 adheres to the vertical wall of the air conditioner unit and flows downwards. After impacting the ground, the airflow diffuses outwards around the lower side of the air conditioner, creating an "air lake" effect on the ground, resulting in high air supply temperature efficiency.

[0040] Optionally, the height of the second guide member 500 is greater than the set distance. For example, the height of the second guide member 500 is twice the set distance. In this way, the airflow from the first air outlet 200 can flow out from the set distance between the first guide member 400 and the second guide member 500 during its downward flow. The set distance is less than the height of the second guide member 500, so that the value of the set distance is within a reasonable range. This ensures that the airflow from the first air outlet 200 can be fully guided by the second guide member 500. As a result, the airflow from the first air outlet 200, under the guidance of the second guide member 500, adheres to the vertical wall of the air conditioner unit and flows downward. After the airflow hits the ground, it spreads out to the lower perimeter of the air conditioner, forming an effect similar to an "air lake" on the ground. That is, the low wind speed and small temperature difference airflow spreads evenly along the floor, resulting in high air supply temperature efficiency.

[0041] It is worth noting that the height of the first guide element 400 refers to the length of the first guide element 400 extending downwards along the middle position between the first air outlet 200 and the second air outlet 300.

[0042] Optionally, the second air outlet 300 is partially surrounding the outer periphery of the first air outlet 200. In this way, the second air outlet 300 and the first air outlet 200 only discharge air within their respective corresponding air outlet areas, enhancing the air delivery effect. Specifically, the airflow from the second air outlet 300 flows towards the first guide member 400, and the second air outlet 300 only discharges air within the area corresponding to the first guide surface. This allows the first guide surface to guide the airflow from the second air outlet 300, enabling the airflow from the second air outlet 300 to be evenly distributed around the periphery, accelerating mixing with indoor air. Meanwhile, the first air outlet 200... The airflow flows to the second guide component 500. The first air outlet 200 only discharges air in the area corresponding to the second guide surface, so that the second guide surface can guide the airflow from the first air outlet 200. This allows the airflow from the first air outlet 200 to adhere to the vertical wall of the air conditioner unit and flow downwards. After the airflow hits the ground, it spreads out to the lower perimeter of the air conditioner, forming an effect similar to an "air lake" on the ground. That is, the airflow with low wind speed and small temperature difference spreads evenly along the floor, resulting in high air supply temperature efficiency.

[0043] Optionally, the second air outlet 300 surrounds the outer periphery of the first air outlet 200, except for the side near the air duct section 103. This ensures that the second air outlet 300 and the first air outlet 200 only discharge air within the areas of their respective first and second guide surfaces. This allows the first guide surface to guide the airflow from the second air outlet 300, and the second guide surface to guide the airflow from the first air outlet 200. Consequently, the second air outlet 300 and the first air outlet 200 can deliver air into the room according to the user's needs, resulting in higher airflow temperature efficiency and enhanced airflow effect.

[0044] Optionally, the second air outlet 300 has a U-shaped air outlet structure. This allows the second air outlet 300 to discharge air from three sides, and under the guidance of the first air guide 400, the airflow from the second air outlet 300 can be discharged stably, quickly, and evenly in all directions, which can accelerate the mixing with indoor air, enhance the air supply effect, and have a high air supply temperature efficiency.

[0045] Optionally, the second air outlet 300 includes: a first air outlet 301, a second air outlet 302, and a third air outlet 303. The first air outlet 301 is disposed on the side opposite to the second air outlet 302, and the third air outlet 303 connects the first air outlet 301 and the second air outlet 302, and the first air outlet 301, the second air outlet 302, and the third air outlet 303 together enclose the first air outlet 200. Thus, the second air outlet 300 consists of three air outlet sections. The second air outlet 300 discharges air through the first air outlet section 301, the second air outlet section 302, and the third air outlet section 303. Under the guidance of the first air guide member 400, the first air outlet section 301, the second air outlet section 302, and the third air outlet section 303 can discharge air to different directions within the room, accelerating mixing with indoor air, enhancing the air supply effect, and achieving high air supply temperature efficiency. Furthermore, the three air outlet sections together enclose the first air outlet 200. The airflow from the first air outlet 200 flows to the second guide element 500. The first air outlet 200 only discharges air in the area corresponding to the second guide surface, so that the second guide surface can guide the airflow from the first air outlet 200. This allows the airflow from the first air outlet 200 to adhere to the vertical wall of the air conditioner unit and flow downwards. After the airflow hits the ground, it spreads out to the lower perimeter of the air conditioner, forming an effect similar to an "air lake" on the ground. That is, the airflow with low wind speed and small temperature difference spreads evenly along the floor, resulting in high air supply temperature efficiency.

[0046] Optionally, the first guide member 400 includes: a first guide portion 401, a second guide portion 402, and a third guide portion 403. One end of the first guide portion 401 is fixed between the first air outlet 301 and the first air outlet 200, and the other end extends downward; one end of the second guide portion 402 is fixed between the second air outlet 302 and the first air outlet 200, and the other end extends downward; one end of the third guide portion 403 is fixed between the third air outlet 303 and the first air outlet 200, and the other end extends downward, and the third guide portion 403 connects the first guide portion 401 and the second guide portion 402. In this way, the first guide section 401, the second guide section 402, and the third guide section 403 are respectively arranged corresponding to the first air outlet section 301, the second air outlet section 302, and the third air outlet section 303. This allows the airflow from the first air outlet section 301, the second air outlet section 302, and the third air outlet section 303 to be directed to different directions in the room under the guidance of the first guide section 401, the second guide section 402, and the third guide section 403. This ensures that the airflow flows stably and evenly to different directions in the room, resulting in high air supply temperature efficiency and further enhancing the air supply effect.

[0047] Optionally, the first guide section 401, the second guide section 402, and the third guide section 403 form a guide structure arranged on three sides. In this way, the airflow from the second air outlet 300 flows towards the first guide section 400, and the second air outlet 300 only discharges air in the area corresponding to the first guide surface. This allows the first guide surface to guide the airflow from the second air outlet 300, ensuring that the airflow from the first air outlet 301, the second air outlet 302, and the third air outlet 303 can be directed to different directions within the room under the guidance of the first guide section 401, the second guide section 402, and the third guide section 403, respectively. This allows the airflow from the second air outlet 300 to be evenly distributed around the perimeter, accelerating the mixing with the indoor air.

[0048] Optionally, the first guide section 401, the second guide section 402, and the third guide section 403 are all arc-shaped guide structures that are inclined to one side of the outer periphery of the second air outlet 300 and concave inward. This enhances the guiding effect of the first guide section 401, the second guide section 402, and the third guide section 403, allowing the airflow from the second air outlet 300 to diffuse evenly and stably into the room, accelerating the mixing with the indoor air and strengthening the air supply effect.

[0049] Optionally, the second air guide 500 includes a flat portion 501 and an arc-shaped portion 502. The flat portion 501 is disposed corresponding to the first air outlet 200 and located directly below the first air outlet 200; the arc-shaped portion 502 surrounds part or all of the outer periphery of the flat portion 501. In this way, the airflow from the first air outlet 200 first flows towards the flat portion 501, and under the guiding effect of the arc-shaped portion 502, the airflow adheres to the vertical wall of the air conditioner unit and flows downward. After the airflow hits the ground, it spreads out to the lower periphery of the air conditioner, forming an effect similar to an "air lake" on the ground, that is, the low wind speed and small temperature difference airflow spreads evenly along the floor, with high air supply temperature efficiency.

[0050] Optionally, the curvature of the arc-shaped portion 502 is equal to the curvature of a quarter circle. If the curvature of the arc-shaped portion 502 is too small or too large, it will fail to guide the airflow, leading to turbulent airflow and reduced airflow efficiency. Setting the curvature of the arc-shaped portion 502 to a quarter circle makes the curvature value more reasonable, allowing it to fully guide the airflow. Under the guidance of the arc-shaped portion 502, the airflow from the first air outlet 200 adheres to the vertical wall of the air conditioner unit and flows downwards. After impacting the ground, the airflow spreads outwards around the lower side of the air conditioner, creating an effect similar to an "air lake" on the ground. This low-velocity, low-temperature-difference airflow diffuses evenly along the floor, resulting in high airflow temperature efficiency and enhanced airflow effect.

[0051] Optionally, the arc-shaped portion 502 surrounds the outer periphery of the flat portion 501 except for the side near the air duct portion 103. This prevents the airflow from the first air outlet 200 from flowing towards the air duct portion 103, thereby preventing the airflow from being blocked by the outer wall of the air duct portion 103 during the flow process and improving the stability of the airflow process.

[0052] Optionally, the first air outlet 200 and the second air outlet 300 are located in the remaining area of ​​the lower end face of the upper shell 102. This makes the overall structural design more rational, allowing airflow inside the upper shell 102 to flow out through the first air outlet 200 and the second air outlet 300. Since the first air outlet 200 and the second air outlet 300 are located on the lower end face of the upper shell 102, the airflow can flow downwards. This allows the airflow from the second air outlet 300 to be quickly delivered into the room under the action of the first guide member 400. The airflow from the first air outlet 200, guided by the second guide member 500, adheres to the vertical wall of the air conditioner unit and flows downwards. After impacting the ground, the airflow diffuses outwards towards the lower perimeter of the air conditioner, creating an effect similar to an "air lake" on the ground. This results in high air supply temperature efficiency while reducing costs and saving energy.

[0053] Optionally, the first air guide 400 is arranged outside the air outlet area of ​​the first air outlet 200 and is connected to the side wall of the air duct 103 to form a channel for air outlet 200 to discharge air. In this way, on the one hand, the first guide surface of the first guide component 400 forms a guiding effect on the air outlet of the second air outlet 300, so that the air outlet air of the second air outlet 300 can be evenly distributed around the perimeter, which can accelerate the mixing with indoor air and improve the air supply efficiency of the air conditioner. On the other hand, the air outlet air of the first air outlet 200 can flow through the air outlet channel to the second guide component 500, which can prevent the air outlet air of the first air outlet 200 from flowing to other directions besides the second guide component 500 during the flow to the second guide component 500, improve the stability of the air flow, so that the air outlet air of the first air outlet 200 can adhere to the vertical wall of the air conditioner unit and flow downward under the guiding effect of the second guide component 500. After the airflow hits the ground, it spreads around the lower perimeter of the air conditioner, forming an effect similar to an "air lake" on the ground. That is, the low wind speed and small temperature difference airflow is evenly diffused along the floor, which has a high air supply temperature efficiency and enhances the air supply effect.

[0054] Optionally, the first air guide 400 is disposed close to the side wall of the air duct 103 and is fixedly connected to the outer side wall of the air duct 103 without gaps. This eliminates gaps at the connection between the first air guide 400 and the side wall of the air duct 103, preventing airflow from flowing through gaps and improving the stability of the airflow process. This allows both the first air outlet 200 and the second air outlet 300 to supply air according to the user's required airflow. Consequently, the second air outlet 300 and the first air outlet 200 supply air only within their respective first and second air guide surfaces. This allows the first air guide surface to guide the airflow from the second air outlet 300, and the second air guide surface to guide the airflow from the first air outlet 200. Therefore, the second air outlet 300 and the first air outlet 200 can supply air to the room according to the user's needs, resulting in higher air supply temperature efficiency and enhanced air supply effect.

[0055] Optionally, the first air guide 400 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the air duct 103 by welding. This eliminates gaps at the connection between the first air guide 400 and the side wall of the air duct 103, preventing airflow from spreading through gaps. Furthermore, the welding method provides greater stability, making it less likely for the first air guide 400 to detach from the side wall of the air duct 103. Consequently, the second air outlet 300 and the first air outlet 200 only discharge air within their respective areas of the first and second air guide surfaces. This allows the first air guide surface to guide the airflow from the second air outlet 300, and the second air guide surface to guide the airflow from the first air outlet 200. Ultimately, the second air outlet 300 and the first air outlet 200 can deliver air into the room according to the user's needs, resulting in higher air supply temperature efficiency and enhanced air supply effect.

[0056] Optionally, the second guide surface includes a downwardly inclined guide surface. In this way, the airflow from the first air outlet 200 flows to the second guide component 500 through the air outlet channel of the first air outlet 200 formed by the connection between the first guide component 400 and the side wall of the air duct 103. This ensures that the airflow from the first air outlet 200 is only discharged in the area corresponding to the second guide surface. The downwardly inclined guide surface allows the second guide surface to guide the airflow from the first air outlet 200, thereby allowing the airflow from the first air outlet 200 to adhere to the vertical wall of the air conditioner unit and flow downward. After the airflow hits the ground, it spreads out to the lower perimeter of the air conditioner, forming an effect similar to an "air lake" on the ground. That is, the low-speed, small-temperature-difference airflow is evenly diffused along the floor, resulting in high air supply temperature efficiency.

[0057] Optionally, the downward-sloping airflow guiding surface is an outwardly convex arc-shaped surface, with one end connected to the flat portion 501 and the other end connected to the outer wall of the lower housing portion 101. This allows the airflow from the first air outlet 200 to adhere to the outer wall of the lower housing portion 101 and flow downwards. In this way, the airflow from the first air outlet 200 is only discharged in the area corresponding to the second guiding surface, while the arc-shaped surface allows the second guiding surface to guide the airflow from the first air outlet 200. This allows the airflow from the first air outlet 200 to adhere to the vertical wall of the air conditioner unit and flow downwards. After the airflow hits the ground, it spreads outwards to the lower perimeter of the air conditioner, forming an effect similar to an "air lake" on the ground. That is, the low-speed, small-temperature-difference airflow is evenly diffused along the floor, resulting in high air supply temperature efficiency.

[0058] Optionally, the lower end of the first guide surface is inclined towards one side of the outer periphery of the second air outlet 300. In this way, the airflow from the second air outlet 300 can diffuse along the inclined first guide surface on one side of the outer periphery of the second air outlet 300, thereby enabling the first guide surface to guide the airflow from the second air outlet 300. This allows the airflow from the second air outlet 300 to be evenly discharged around the periphery under the guidance of the first guide element 400, which can accelerate the mixing with indoor air, prevent the airflow from becoming too turbulent, and improve the stability of the airflow process.

[0059] Optionally, the first guide surface includes an arc-shaped guide surface that bends towards the outer periphery of the second air outlet 300. In this way, the airflow from the second air outlet 300 can diffuse indoors along the arc-shaped guide surface, thereby enabling the first guide surface to guide the airflow from the second air outlet 300. This allows the airflow from the second air outlet 300 to be evenly distributed around the periphery under the guidance of the first guide element 400, accelerating mixing with indoor air. Furthermore, the arc-shaped guide surface makes the airflow process more stable, preventing excessive turbulence and improving the stability of the airflow process.

[0060] like Figure 5-7 As shown, the air conditioner unit provided in this embodiment further includes an air outlet sealing assembly 600. The air outlet sealing assembly 600 is capable of opening one of the first air outlet 200 and the second air outlet 300 while simultaneously closing the other. In this way, by setting the air outlet sealing component 600, the user can easily control the opening or closing of the first air outlet 200 and the second air outlet 300. This allows the air conditioner to supply air according to the user's needs, and the air outlets are controllable, allowing the user to selectively select one of the first air outlet 200 or the second air outlet 300 for air supply while the other air outlet remains closed. This gives the air conditioner high controllability and ensures that the first air outlet 200 and the second air outlet 300 only supply air within their respective first and second guide surfaces. That is, the first guide surface can guide the air supply from the second air outlet 300, and the second guide surface can guide the air supply from the first air outlet 200. This allows the first air outlet 200 and the second air outlet 300 to supply air to different directions in the room according to the user's needs, accelerating the mixing with indoor air, enhancing the air supply effect, and achieving high air supply temperature efficiency.

[0061] Optionally, the air outlet sealing assembly 600 includes: a first sealing plate 601 and a second sealing plate 602. The first sealing plate 601 is adapted to the shape of the first air outlet 200 and can close the first air outlet 200; the second sealing plate 602 is fixedly connected to the first sealing plate 601 and is adapted to the shape of the second air outlet 300 and can close the second air outlet 300; wherein, the position where the first sealing plate 601 and the second sealing plate 602 are connected is connected to the housing 100 through a rotating shaft 603, and when rotated to the first position, the first air outlet 200 is opened and the second air outlet 300 is closed, and when rotated to the second position, the second air outlet 300 is opened and the first air outlet 200 is closed. In this way, the second sealing plate 602 is vertically connected to the first sealing plate 601, resulting in a more stable and stronger structure. During rotation of the second sealing plate 602 and the first sealing plate 601, the vertical connection ensures that one of the first air outlet 200 and the second air outlet 300 is completely closed while the other is fully open. This allows for stable and smooth airflow through either the first air outlet 200 or the second air outlet 300. Furthermore, the shapes of the first sealing plate 601 and the first air outlet 200 are adapted to each other, and the shapes of the second sealing plate 602 and the second air outlet 300 are also adapted to each other. This ensures that the first sealing plate 601 and the second sealing plate 602 can rotate from the first position to the second position, or vice versa, via the pivot 603. When rotated to the first position, the first air outlet 200 is fully open, while the second air outlet 300 is fully closed. This ensures that there is no gap between the second sealing plate 602 and the second air outlet 300 when the second sealing plate 602 closes the second air outlet 300. When rotated to the second position, the first air outlet 200 is fully closed, while the second air outlet 300 is fully open. This prevents gaps from forming between the first sealing plate 601 and the first air outlet 200. Therefore, the design of the first sealing plate 601 and the second sealing plate 602 ensures that the first air outlet 200 and the second air outlet 300 only discharge air within their respective air outlet areas, thus enhancing the air delivery effect.

[0062] It is worth noting that the fixed connection between the second sealing plate 602 and the first sealing plate 601 means that the second sealing plate 602 and the first sealing plate 601 are connected at a certain angle, for example, they can be connected perpendicularly.

[0063] Optionally, a transmission wheel is provided on the rotating shaft 603, which is connected to the drive wheel on the motor output shaft. The motor output shaft is mounted on the motor 604, which is located inside the housing 100. In this way, the motor 604 drives the drive wheel to rotate via the output shaft, which in turn drives the transmission wheel to rotate. The rotating transmission wheel then drives the first sealing plate 601 and the second sealing plate 602 connected to the rotating shaft 603 to rotate inside the housing 100. This allows the first sealing plate 601 and the second sealing plate 602 to rotate from a first position to a second position, or from a second position to a first position, via the rotating shaft 603. This makes the driving process more stable and efficient, and improves the stability of the first sealing plate 601 and the second sealing plate 602 during rotation.

[0064] Optionally, the first sealing plate 601 and the second sealing plate 602 are integral structures. An integrally molded structure is less prone to deformation, has high structural strength, and is more structurally stable. This prevents changes in the connection position between the first sealing plate 601 and the second sealing plate 602, making them more stable during rotation. This allows the first sealing plate 601 and the second sealing plate 602 to rotate stably and synchronously, ensuring that the first sealing plate 601 is in the open state of the first air outlet 200 while the second sealing plate 602 is in the closed state of the second air outlet 300, or vice versa. This allows the user to selectively choose either the first air outlet 200 or the second air outlet 300 for airflow, while the other outlet remains closed, thus providing the air conditioner with higher controllability.

[0065] Optionally, the first air guide 400 is provided with a raised flange 404 perpendicular to the first air guide 400, and the raised flange 404 is positioned towards the air outlet channel of the first air outlet 200. Thus, when it is necessary to open the second air outlet 300 and close the first air outlet 200, the first sealing plate 601 and the second sealing plate 602 begin to rotate synchronously. The first sealing plate 601 continuously rotates towards the first air outlet 200, while the second sealing plate 602 continuously moves away from the second air outlet 300 during rotation. When the first sealing plate 601 rotates to the first air outlet 200, the flange 404 can block the first sealing plate 601, thereby preventing the first sealing plate 601 from rotating excessively and failing to close the first air outlet. Therefore, a flange 404 is provided on the first air guide 400 to block the rotation of the first sealing plate 601, preventing the first air outlet 200 from failing to be closed due to excessive rotation of the first sealing plate 601. This ensures that when the first sealing plate 601 is in the state of opening the first air outlet 200, the second sealing plate 602 is in the state of closing the second air outlet 300, or when the first sealing plate 601 is in the state of closing the first air outlet 200, the second sealing plate 602 is in the state of opening the second air outlet 300.

[0066] Optionally, the length of the flange 404 protruding into the air outlet channel is greater than or equal to 1 cm and less than or equal to 2 cm. If the length of the flange 404 protrusion is too large, it will obstruct the airflow from the first air outlet, reducing its efficiency. If the length of the flange 404 protrusion is too small, it will not obstruct the first sealing plate 601, causing the first sealing plate 601 to rotate excessively and fail to close the first air outlet 200. Therefore, setting the length of the flange 404 protrusion between greater than or equal to 1 cm and less than or equal to 2 cm ensures that the length is within a reasonable range. This allows the flange 404 to both obstruct the rotation of the first sealing plate 601, preventing the first air outlet 200 from failing to close due to excessive rotation, and without affecting the airflow from the first air outlet.

[0067] like Figure 8-10 As shown, the air conditioner unit provided in this embodiment further includes a deflector plate 700. The deflector plate 700 is disposed on one side of the bottom of the lower housing 101 and is configured to receive the airflow from the first air outlet 200. Thus, when the airflow from the first air outlet 200 flows downwards along the vertical wall of the air conditioner unit to the deflector plate 700, the deflector plate 700 can receive the airflow, thereby increasing the thickness of the airflow, preventing the warm airflow from sinking too much, enhancing the air delivery effect, and further improving the air delivery temperature efficiency of the air conditioner unit.

[0068] Optionally, the bottom of the lower shell 101 is provided with an installation port 800, and the guide plate 700 is disposed in the installation port 800. In this way, the overall structural design is more reasonable and it is easier to install the guide plate 700.

[0069] Optionally, the air deflector 700 includes a fixed part 701 and a telescopic part 702. One end of the fixed part 701 extends into the mounting port 800, and the other end overlaps with the mounting port 800; the telescopic part 702 is connected to the fixed part 701. In this way, when the airflow from the first air outlet 200 flows downward along the vertical wall of the air conditioner to the air deflector 700, the telescopic part 702 extends out of the lower shell 101, thereby catching the airflow from the first air outlet 200, increasing the thickness of the air saturation, preventing the warm airflow from sinking too much, strengthening the air delivery effect, and further improving the air delivery temperature efficiency of the air conditioner.

[0070] Optionally, the fixing part 701 includes a concave groove 703. The telescopic part 702 is disposed within the concave groove 703. Thus, when the first air outlet 200 is in the open state, the telescopic part 702 extends from the concave groove 703 to catch the airflow from the first air outlet 200, increasing the thickness of the airflow and preventing the warm airflow from sinking too much, thereby enhancing the air delivery effect. When the first air outlet 200 is in the closed state, the telescopic part 702 retracts into the concave groove 703, which not only prevents the telescopic part 702 from occupying indoor space but also provides protection for the telescopic part 702.

[0071] Optionally, a tension ring 704 is provided at one end of the telescopic part 702 that extends out of the lower housing 101. This makes it easier for the user to manually pull the telescopic part 702 out of the concave groove 703, improving the convenience of use.

[0072] Optionally, the telescopic section 702 consists of one or more telescopic plates. In this way, the user can freely adjust the length of the telescopic section 702 according to the usage needs, and the airflow from the first air outlet 200 forms an "air lake" of optimal thickness on the ground, improving the air outlet effect and increasing the air supply temperature efficiency of the air conditioning unit.
