[0055] In the first embodiment of the present application, the value of H is 600mm; and / or the first air duct part 10 comprises a first upper air duct section 11, a first transition section 12 and a first lower air duct section 13 connected in sequence, the first upper air duct section 11 and the first lower air duct section 13 are arranged along the horizontal direction, and the bending angle between the first transition section 12 and the first upper air duct section 11 and / or the bending angle between the first transition section 12 and the first lower air duct section 13 is α; wherein α=30°; and / or the second air duct part 20 comprises a second upper air duct section 21, a second transition section 22 and a second lower air duct section 23 connected in sequence, the second upper air duct section 21 and the second lower air duct section 23 are arranged along the horizontal direction, and the bending angle between the second transition section 22 and the second upper air duct section 21 and / or the bending angle between the second transition section 22 and the second lower air duct section 23 is β; wherein β=14°.

[0058] In the specific implementation process of the first embodiment of the present application, as shown in Figure 5 、 Figure 7 and Figure 8 , when designed with this design parameter, the fan air duct layout is compact, the air duct volume occupies the whole machine space in the best state, the flow resistance is small, and the pressure self-balancing between different air ducts is better. Because the first air duct 100 where the first fan 110 is located is relatively long, and the airflow converges, the cross-sectional ratio of the first air duct 100 and the second air duct 200 is S1:S2=3:4, and the first transition section 12 of the first air duct 100 is bent, so the flow resistance of the first air duct is larger, the static pressure of the first fan 110 changes more from the dynamic pressure of the outlet, the wind speed loss is larger, the static pressure is higher, and the dynamic pressure is smaller. The second fan 210 has no large resistance to the outlet, so the wind speed is higher, the airflow dynamic pressure is larger, and the static pressure is smaller. After the first air duct 100 and the second air duct 200 are communicated.

[0059] Although the airflow in the first air duct 100 and the second air duct 200 is parallel before converging, the side with high static pressure pushes the outlet air to the side with low static pressure, the airflow direction changes, the pressure on both sides is balanced, the vortex is reduced, the flow resistance is reduced, the air volume is increased, and the outlet air volume of the first outlet 130 and the second outlet 230 is nearly consistent. At the same time, the dynamic pressure and the static pressure in the first air duct 100 and the second air duct 200 become stable, the overall aerodynamic noise is obviously improved.

[0060] In the second embodiment of the present application, as shown in Figure 6 and Figure 9As shown, the distance H between the first fan 110 and the second fan 210 is 600 mm, the cross section ratio of the first air duct 100 and the second air duct 200 is S1:S2=3:4, the bending angle of the first transition section 12 is α=30°, the bending angle of the second transition section 22 is β=14°, the width of the first air duct 100 is A=100 mm, the width of the second air duct 200 is B=74 mm, the minimum width of the air outlet duct is C=175 mm, the wall length shared by the first air duct and the second air duct is L1=440 mm, and the length of the air duct communication opening is L2=330 mm. The L2 section can be divided into two communication sections, wherein the distance from the bottom partition position q is 80 mm≥q≥40 mm, a partition plate with a length of p is arranged, 120 mm≥p≥100 mm, so as to balance the pressure on both sides, reduce the vortex, reduce the flow resistance, increase the air volume, make the pressure in the air duct self-balanced, and thus reduce the aerodynamic noise.

[0061] The application further provides an air conditioner, which comprises a shell and an air duct structure arranged in the shell, and the air duct structure is the air duct structure described above.

[0062] In summary, the parameter design of the air duct structure of the application can reduce the flow resistance, increase the air volume, make the pressure in the air duct self-balanced, make the air flow pressure and static pressure between different flow channels change more smoothly, balance the air pressure difference of each flow channel, reduce the aerodynamic noise, and improve the sound quality when the air ducts of multiple fans arranged at different horizontal heights of the air conditioner are parallel to the air outlet.

In the air conditioner, if the bending angle β is too large, the structure of the second air duct part 20 in the width direction is not compact enough, and the flow resistance of the second air duct is increased, and the air volume is reduced; and if the bending angle β is too small, under the condition that the height of the main body of the air conditioner indoor unit is unchanged, the length of the straight section of the air duct is short, which is not conducive to the flow of air and the arrangement of the two parallel air ducts. Therefore, the value range of the bending angle β is designed, and the value range of the distance H between the two fan mounting cavities and the value range of the bending angle α are designed to further ensure that the layout of the fan air duct is compact, and the flow resistance of the first air duct 100 and the second air duct 200 is reduced, and the air volume is improved.
