DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0044] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0045] Reference Figure 1-7 , shows a schematic diagram of the overall structure of an embodiment of an air conditioner silencer structure of the present invention, which may specifically include: a silencer housing 1, a vortex-shaped silencer air duct 2, and an air duct drive assembly 3;

[0046] The air duct drive assembly 3 is arranged inside the silencer air duct 2;

[0047] The outer wall of the muffler air duct 2 and the inner wall of the muffler housing 1 form a muffler chamber 4 .

[0048] In an embodiment of the present application, by integrating the silencer duct 2 and the duct drive assembly 3 into the silencer housing 1, not only can the noise generated in the silencer duct 2 be reduced by reducing the interference of other functional components inside the air conditioner on the silencer duct 2; at the same time, when installing the air conditioner, the silencer housing is buried in the wall 19 to further improve the noise reduction capability of the air conditioner, and the design of the silencer chamber 4 can also improve the noise reduction capability of the air conditioner.

[0049] Next, an air conditioner silencer structure in this exemplary embodiment will be further described.

[0050] As an example, the muffler air duct 2 includes an upper flow channel and a lower flow channel; the upper flow channel and the lower flow channel are both arc-shaped;

[0051] The upper and lower ducts are connected to form the silencer duct 2, and the duct drive assembly 3 is located at the intersection of the upper and lower ducts. The air in the silencer duct 2 flows from the upper duct to the lower duct through the duct drive assembly 3. More specifically, the silencer duct 2 and the duct drive assembly 3 are both located within the silencer housing 1. The silencer duct 2 is composed of the upper and lower ducts, which greatly reduces the air path of the silencer duct 2 and further reduces the interaction of the wind with the duct when entering the silencer duct 2, thereby effectively reducing noise generation. Furthermore, the duct drive assembly 3 is only located at the bottom of the silencer duct 2, which prevents the wind from interacting with the various functional components inside the air conditioner, further reducing noise generation. It should be noted that since the silencer duct 2 and the duct drive assembly 3 are integrated within the silencer housing 1, when installing the air conditioner, this portion of the silencer housing 1 can be pre-buried in the wall 19 to reduce noise. The arc-shaped design of the upper and lower drainage channels can make the entire silencer air duct 2 have an inclined vortex shape, and the wind can form a vortex motion in the silencer air duct 2, so that the wind can flow in and out quickly, avoiding the noise generated by the interaction between the wind and the air duct. It should be noted that in order to reduce the noise generated by the interaction between the wind and the air duct, the inner wall of the silencer air duct 2 is a smooth surface.

[0052] As an example, the anechoic chamber 4 is provided with sound-absorbing material and / or sound-insulating material. More specifically, the anechoic chamber 4 is filled with sound-absorbing and sound-insulating materials to achieve a certain sound-absorbing effect. The material filled in the anechoic chamber 4 can be polyester fiber sound-absorbing material, wave crest sound-absorbing sponge, glass wool, etc.

[0053] As an example, the air conditioner silencer structure further includes a front housing 6, which is connected to the silencer housing 1;

[0054] The front housing 6 is provided with an air inlet and an air outlet;

[0055] The air inlet duct is connected to the upper guide duct, and the air outlet duct is connected to the lower guide duct. More specifically, the reason why traditional air conditioners make noise during the air intake and air outlet processes is that the panel on the air conditioner, when coordinated with the air inlet and air outlet, causes the air inlet and air outlet to become smaller, and the smaller air inlet and air outlet will produce obvious whistling noise during the air intake and air outlet processes. In this embodiment, the design of the panel is directly eliminated, that is, only the air inlet and air outlet are designed on the shell, which increases the size of the air inlet and air outlet, thereby reducing the whistling noise when the air conditioner is taking in and out air. In other embodiments, an air duct plate is provided below the air inlet, so that the air inlet is tilted, which can increase the air intake.

[0056] This application also provides an air conditioner including an air conditioner silencer structure. More specifically, the specific structure of the air conditioner silencer structure is similar to the above-mentioned embodiments. Since this air conditioner adopts all the technical solutions of all the above-mentioned embodiments, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought about by the technical solutions of the above-mentioned embodiments, and will not be described in detail here.

[0057] As an example, a filter 8 is provided at the air inlet of the air inlet duct;

[0058] A protective net 9 is provided at the air outlet of the air outlet duct. Magnetic parts 10 are provided at the edges of the air inlet of the air inlet duct and the edges of the filter net 8;

[0059] The filter 8 is magnetically connected to the front housing 6 via the magnetic member 10. More specifically, to facilitate removal, cleaning, and replacement of the filter 8, the filter 8 is magnetically connected to the edge of the air inlet of the air inlet duct. The protective screen 9 primarily serves as a safety feature, preventing the user's fingers from accidentally entering the interior of the air conditioner and preventing foreign matter from entering. It should be noted that the edge of the air inlet of the air inlet duct extends along the middle of the air inlet of the air outlet duct at the end facing the interior of the front housing 6, forming a first placement portion. The edge of the filter 8 is correspondingly connected to the first placement portion; in this case, the magnetic member 10 is located on the edge of the first placement portion. The first placement portion can provide a certain positional restraint for the filter 8. Specifically, when the filter 8 is placed on the first placement portion, the upper edge of the air inlet of the air inlet duct will abut against the filter 8, thereby restraining the filter 8.

[0060] As an example, the air conditioner further includes a heat exchanger assembly;

[0061] The heating part 11 in the heat exchanger assembly is arranged in the air outlet duct;

[0062] A second placement slot 7 is formed between the air inlet duct and the air outlet duct;

[0063] A first placement groove 5 is formed between the upper drainage channel and the lower drainage channel;

[0064] The first placement groove 5 and the second placement groove 7 are connected to form a component placement cavity;

[0065] The control unit 12 in the heat exchanger assembly is arranged in the component placement cavity. More specifically, in order not to affect the flow of wind in the silencer air duct 2 and generate noise, the heat exchanger assembly is arranged in the front shell. In order to maximize the placement space of the heating unit 11, the control unit 12 connected to the heating unit 11 is placed in the component placement cavity. The component placement cavity is composed of a first placement slot 5 and a second placement slot 7, which do not occupy too much space inside the air conditioner. This effectively avoids the influence of the component structure in the air duct path in the air conditioner on the wind, so that after the wind enters the silencer air duct 2 from the air inlet duct, it can quickly flow out of the air outlet duct, reducing the noise generated by the wind due to the component structure in the air duct path.

[0066] As an example, the air conditioner further includes an air guide plate 13 and an air guide transmission assembly;

[0067] The air guide plate 13 is movably connected to the air outlet of the air outlet duct and is arranged on the side of the protective net 9 facing the air outlet of the air outlet duct;

[0068] The air guide transmission assembly is arranged inside the front housing 6;

[0069] The wind guide transmission assembly is controlled and connected to the wind guide plate 13 to control the wind direction of the wind guide plate 13. More specifically, the wind guide plate 13 is movably connected to the air outlet of the air outlet duct, and the wind guide plate 13 is controlled and connected by the wind guide transmission assembly, which can control the direction of the air outlet of the air conditioner.

[0070] As an example, the air guide transmission assembly includes an air guide connecting member 14, a transmission connecting rod 15, a rotating member 16 and an air guide motor 17;

[0071] One end of the wind guide connector 14 is connected to the wind guide plate 13, and the other end is connected to the transmission connecting rod 15;

[0072] The rotating member 16 is connected to the transmission connecting rod 15, and the rotating member 16 drives the transmission connecting rod 15 to move;

[0073] The wind guide motor 17 controls the connection of the rotating member 16. More specifically, a connecting hole is provided on the side wall of the air outlet of the air outlet duct, and a connecting ear is provided on the side of the wind guide plate 13; one end of the wind guide connector 14 passes through the connecting hole and is connected to the connecting ear.

[0074] As an example, the air conditioner further includes a display screen 18;

[0075] The display screen 18 is arranged on the same side as the air outlet of the air outlet. More specifically, in order to facilitate the user to observe the operating status of the air conditioner, a display screen 18 is installed on the outside of the front housing 6, and the display screen 18 is installed next to the air outlet of the air outlet.
