[0073] The embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the drawings, where the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the drawings are exemplary and are intended to explain the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0074] The following disclosure provides many different embodiments or examples for implementing different structures of the present invention. To simplify the disclosure of the present invention, components and settings of specific examples are described below. Of course, they are only examples and are not intended to limit the present invention. In addition, the present invention may repeat reference numerals and / or letters in different examples. This repetition is for the purpose of simplicity and clarity and does not itself indicate the relationship between the various embodiments and / or settings discussed. In addition, the present invention provides examples of various specific processes and materials, but those of ordinary skill in the art may be aware of the applicability of other processes and / or the use of other materials.

[0075] Next, with reference to the drawings, the air guide component 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention and the air conditioner 1000 having the same will be described.

[0076] It should be noted that the air guiding component 100 according to the embodiments of the present invention is not limited to being applied to the air conditioner 1000, that is, it can also be applied to other devices with an air outlet function, such as an air purifier, etc. In addition, it should be noted that the type of the air conditioner 1000 to which the air guiding component 100 according to the embodiments of the present invention is applied is not limited. For example, it can be applied to an integrated air conditioner, such as a mobile air conditioner, a window air conditioner, etc. Or, it can also be applied to the indoor unit of a split air conditioner, such as a wall-mounted air conditioner, a floor-standing air conditioner, etc.

[0077] For the sake of simplicity of description, hereinafter, only the example of the air guiding component 100 according to the embodiments of the present invention being applied to the air conditioner 1000 will be described. After those skilled in the art read the technical solutions hereinafter, they can clearly understand the specific embodiments of the air guiding component 100 according to the embodiments of the present invention being applied to other devices with an air outlet function, which will not be elaborated here. In addition, it can be understood that, as Figure 1 shown, the air conditioner 1000 has an air outlet 200 and an air inlet 300. The air flow enters the air conditioner 1000 from the air inlet 300 and flows out of the air conditioner 1000 from the air outlet 200. The air guiding component 100 is arranged at the air outlet 200 to at least adjust the air outlet effect of the air outlet 200.

[0078] As Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, the air guiding component 100 may include: a wind guiding plate 1 and a wind guiding strip assembly 2. The wind guiding strip assembly 2 is connected to the inner side of the wind guiding plate 1. It should be noted that the side of the wind guiding plate 1 close to the air outlet 200 is the inner side of the wind guiding plate 1, and the side of the wind guiding plate 1 facing away from the air outlet 200 is the outer side of the wind guiding plate 1. The wind guiding strip assembly 2 is arranged on the inner side of the wind guiding plate 1 and is connected to the wind guiding plate 1, that is, arranged on the windward side of the wind guiding plate 1, so as to achieve the effect of guiding the air flow. It should be noted that the specific connection manner between the wind guiding strip assembly 2 and the wind guiding plate 1 is not limited. It can be a split part and assembled (including detachable assembly and non-detachable assembly, etc.), or it can be an integral part (including integral molding and secondary injection molding, etc.).

[0079] As Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown, the wind guiding strip assembly 2 may include: two wind guiding strips 20 spaced apart along the width direction F2 of the wind guiding plate 1. Each wind guiding strip 20 is adapted to guide the air flow flowing from the inner side to the outer side of the wind guiding plate 1 in a direction away from the other wind guiding strip 20. For example Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown, the wind guiding strip assembly 2 includes two wind guiding strips 20, namely a first wind guiding strip 21 and a second wind guiding strip 22. The first wind guiding strip 21 and the second wind guiding strip 22 are spaced apart along the width direction F2 of the wind guiding plate 1. The first wind guiding strip 21 is adapted to guide the air flow flowing from the inner side to the outer side of the wind guiding plate 1 in a direction away from the second wind guiding strip 22 (for exampleFigure 4 derived from the direction indicated by the S1 line shown in [FIGURE REFERENCE], the second air guide strip 22 is adapted to direct the airflow flowing from the inner side to the outer side of the air guide plate 1 in a direction away from the first air guide strip 21 (e.g., Figure 4 the direction indicated by the S2 line shown in [FIGURE REFERENCE]).

[0080] Thus, for the air guide component 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention, by arranging two air guide strips 20 spaced apart transversely along the air guide plate 1 on the inner side of the air guide plate 1, and guiding the air in directions away from each other by the two air guide strips 20 respectively, the air outlet can be adjusted in at least two dimensions (e.g., Figure 4 the air outlet can be adjusted in two directions, S1 and S2, as shown in [FIGURE REFERENCE]), the room temperature can be quickly adjusted, the uniformity of temperature diffusion can be improved, and the air in the room can be disturbed to a large extent, improving the user's stuffy feeling. Moreover, the air outlet effect can be adjusted to a large extent by rotating a small angle, thereby reducing the energy consumption for driving the air guide component 100 to move and achieving an obvious air direction and air volume adjustment effect.

[0081] Furthermore, when the air guide component 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention is used for a wall-mounted air conditioner, the problems of cold air directly blowing on the user and hot air not reaching the user's feet can be solved. For example, Figure 5 - Figure 6 as shown, the air conditioner 1000 is a wall-mounted air conditioner, the air outlet 200 is formed at the front bottom side and / or the lower front side of the body 700, the two air guide strips 20 are spaced apart in the front-back direction, and the air guide component 100 can switch between a front air outlet state (e.g., Figure 5 as shown) and a rear air outlet state (e.g., Figure 6 as shown). As Figure 5 shown, in the front air outlet state, the airflow flowing out from the air outlet 200 passes forward through the front air guide strip 20 to guide the air forward, which can prevent cold air from directly blowing on the user. In the rear air outlet state, the airflow flowing out from the air outlet 200 passes backward through the rear air guide strip 20 to guide the air backward, which can solve the problem that hot air cannot reach the user's feet.

[0082] It should be noted that the air guide strip 20 can be configured as a complete long strip structure extending along the length direction F1 of the air guide plate 1, or the air guide strip 20 can also be composed of at least two short strip structures arranged in sequence along the length direction F1 of the air guide plate 1. In addition, it should be noted that the surface of the air guide strip 20 for guiding air (i.e., the air guide surface) needs to be determined according to the specific structure of the air guide strip 20. For example, the air guide surface of the air guide strip 20 can include the outer surface and the inner surface of the air guide strip 20, etc. For example, in Embodiment 1 and Embodiment 2 described hereinafter, the surface on the side of the air guide strip 20 facing away from the air guide plate 1 (i.e., the inner surface 201 of the air guide strip 20) is the air guide surface of the air guide strip 20, while in Embodiment 3 described hereinafter, the surface on the side of the air guide strip 20 facing away from the air guide plate 1 (i.e., the inner surface 201 of the air guide strip 20) and the inner surface of the air guide strip 20 are both the air guide surfaces of the air guide strip 20.

[0083] In some embodiments of the present invention, as Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown, the air guide plate 1 is provided with a plurality of ventilation holes 11. It can be understood that the ventilation holes 11 penetrate through the inner surface and the outer surface of the air guide plate 1. An air flow channel 12 is defined between two air guide strips 20, and the air flow channel 12 is communicated with the ventilation holes 11. In this way, a part of the air flow flowing from the inner side to the outer side of the air guide plate 1 can enter the air flow channel 12 and then flow out to the outside of the air guide plate 1 through the ventilation holes 11 on the air guide plate 1 (for example, Figure 4 flow out in the direction indicated by the S3 line shown in Figure 4 ). Thus, the air guide component 100 can have two air outlet dimensions in which the two air guide strips 20 respectively blow air in directions away from each other, and also have one air outlet dimension through which air blows out through the air flow channel 12 and the ventilation holes 11, with a total of at least three air outlet dimensions (such as

[0084] the air blows out in the three directions S1, S2, and S3 shown).

[0084] Therefore, on the basis of using the two air guide strips 20 to respectively guide air in directions away from each other, the air flow through the air flow channel 12 and the ventilation holes 11 can be used to accelerate the agitation of the air in the whole house, promote the microcirculation of the air in the room, so that people will not feel stuffy, and through multi-dimensional air supply, the temperature can be quickly adjusted, the temperature uniformity can be improved, and the user comfort experience can be enhanced. And when the air guide component 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention is used for an air conditioner hanging unit, while solving the problems of direct cold air blowing on the user and hot air not reaching the user's feet, the air flow through the air flow channel 12 and the ventilation holes 11 can be used to accelerate the agitation of the air in the whole house, promote the microcirculation of the air in the room, so that people will not feel stuffy, and solve the problem that the single-dimensional air supply is not comfortable enough. In short, it can realize multi-dimensional air supply in the front, rear, and lower directions, thereby enhancing the user comfort experience.

[0085] For example, in Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, when the air conditioner 1000 is a wall-mounted air conditioner, when the air guiding component 100 switches to the front air outlet state (for example Figure 5 as shown), the air flow flowing out from the air outlet 200 is guided forward by the front air guiding strip 20, which can prevent the cold air from directly blowing on the user. Moreover, a part of the air flow can also flow out to the outside of the air guiding plate 1 through the air flow channel 12 and the ventilation holes 11, so as to accelerate the agitation of the whole house air, promote the microcirculation of the room air, make people not feel stuffy, and through multi-dimensional air supply, quickly adjust the temperature, improve the temperature uniformity, and enhance the user comfort experience.

[0086] When the air guiding component 100 switches to the rear air outlet state (for example Figure 6 as shown), the air flow flowing out from the air outlet 200 is guided backward by the rear air guiding strip 20, which can solve the problem that the hot air cannot reach the user's feet directly. Moreover, a part of the air flow can also flow out to the outside of the air guiding plate 1 through the air flow channel 12 and the ventilation holes 11, so as to accelerate the agitation of the whole house air, promote the microcirculation of the room air, make people not feel stuffy, and through multi-dimensional air supply, quickly adjust the temperature, improve the temperature uniformity, and enhance the user comfort experience.

[0087] In addition, in combination with Figure 7 , when the air conditioner 1000 is a wall-mounted air conditioner, the air guiding component 100 can also have a front and rear air outlet state. At this time, the air flow flowing out from the air outlet 200 is divided into three strands. One strand is guided forward by the front air guiding strip 20, one strand is guided backward by the rear air guiding strip 20, and one strand flows out to the outside of the air guiding plate 1 through the air flow channel 12 and the ventilation holes 11, so as to accelerate the agitation of the whole house air, promote the microcirculation of the room air, make people not feel stuffy, and through multi-dimensional air supply, quickly adjust the temperature, improve the temperature uniformity, and enhance the user comfort experience.

[0088] In addition, in combination with Figure 8 , when the air conditioner 1000 is a wall-mounted air conditioner, the air guiding component 100 can also have a closed state. At this time, the air guiding component 100 blocks the air outlet 200. If the air conditioner 1000 is in the shutdown state, no air flow will flow out from the air outlet 200. If the air conditioner is in the startup state, the air flow flowing out from the air outlet 200 can flow out to the outside of the air guiding plate 1 through the air flow channel 12 and the ventilation holes 11. When the ventilation holes 11 are micro-holes, a soft air feeling (or no-air feeling) air outlet can be realized.

[0089] In some embodiments of the present invention, as Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown, an air flow channel 12 is defined between the two air guiding strips 20. The air flow channel 12 extends along the length direction F1 of the air guiding plate 1, and both ends in the extending direction of the air flow channel 12 are open to form side air outlets 13. For example Figure 3The length direction F1 of the air deflector 1 shown in the figure is the left - right direction. The air flow channel 12 extends in the left - right direction. The left end of the air flow channel 12 is open to form the left - hand side air outlet 13, and the right end of the air flow channel 12 is open to form the right - hand side air outlet 13. In this way, a part of the air flow flowing from the inner side to the outer side of the air deflector 1 can enter the air flow channel 12 and then flow out of the air guiding component 100 from the left - hand side air outlet 13 respectively (for example, Figure 3 flow out in the direction indicated by the S4 line shown in Figure 3 ) and flow out of the air guiding component 100 from the right - hand side air outlet 13 (for example, Figure 3 flow out in the direction indicated by the S5 line shown in Figure 3 ). Thus, the air guiding component 100 can have two air - outlet dimensions in which two air guiding strips 20 blow air in directions away from each other, and also have two air - outlet dimensions in which air blows out through the side air outlets 13 at both ends of the air flow channel 12, with a total of at least four air - outlet dimensions (such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 blowing air in the four directions of S1, S2, S4, and S5 shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4 ).

[0090] Therefore, on the basis of using two air guiding strips 20 to guide air in directions away from each other, the air flow channel 12 and the side air outlets 13 can be used to accelerate the agitation of the air in the whole house, promote the micro - circulation of the room air, making people not feel stuffy, and through multi - dimensional air supply, quickly adjust the temperature, improve the temperature uniformity, and enhance the user's comfort experience. And when the air guiding component 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention is used for a wall - mounted air conditioner, while solving the problems of cold air blowing directly on the user and hot air not reaching the user's feet, the air flow channel 12 and the side air outlets 13 can be used to accelerate the agitation of the air in the whole house, promote the micro - circulation of the room air, making people not feel stuffy, and solve the problem that single - dimensional air supply is not comfortable enough. In short, it can achieve multi - dimensional air supply in the front, back, left, and right directions, thereby enhancing the user's comfort experience.

[0091] For example, as shown in Figure 5 and Figure 6 , when the air conditioner 1000 is a wall - mounted air conditioner, when the air guiding component 100 is switched to the front - air - outlet state (for example, Figure 5 shown), the air flow flowing out from the air outlet 200 passes forward through the front - side air guiding strip 20 to guide the air, which can avoid cold air blowing directly on the user, and a part of the air flow can also flow out through the air flow channel 12 and the side air outlets 13 to both sides of the length of the air deflector 1 (combined with Figure 9 , that is, the left and right sides), so as to accelerate the agitation of the air in the whole house, promote the micro - circulation of the room air, making people not feel stuffy, and through multi - dimensional air supply, quickly adjust the temperature, improve the temperature uniformity, and enhance the user's comfort experience.

[0092] When the air guiding component 100 is switched to the rear - air - outlet state (for example, Figure 6When the air flow flowing out of the air outlet 200 passes backward through the rear air guiding strip 20 for air guiding as shown, the problem that the hot air cannot directly reach the user's feet can be solved, and a part of the air flow can also flow out to both sides of the length of the air guiding plate 1 through the air flow channel 12 and the side air outlets 13 (combined with Figure 9 , that is, the left and right sides), so as to accelerate the agitation of the whole house air, promote the microcirculation of the room air, make people not feel stuffy, and quickly adjust the temperature through multi-dimensional air supply, improve the temperature uniformity, and enhance the user's comfort experience.

[0093] In addition, combined with Figure 7 , when the air conditioner 1000 is a wall-mounted air conditioner, the air guiding component 100 can also have a front and rear air outlet state. At this time, the air flow flowing out of the air outlet 200 is divided into four strands. One strand passes forward through the front air guiding strip 20 for air guiding, one strand passes backward through the rear air guiding strip 20 for air guiding, and the other two strands flow out to the outside of both ends of the length of the air guiding plate 1 through the side air outlets 13 on both sides respectively through the air flow channel 12 (combined with Figure 9 , that is, the left and right sides), so as to accelerate the agitation of the whole house air, promote the microcirculation of the room air, make people not feel stuffy, and quickly adjust the temperature through multi-dimensional air supply, improve the temperature uniformity, and enhance the user's comfort experience.

[0094] In some embodiments of the present invention, as shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4 , an air flow channel 12 is defined between the two air guiding strips 20. The air flow channel 12 extends along the length direction F1 of the air guiding plate 1, and both ends in the extending direction of the air flow channel 12 are open to form side air outlets 13. The air guiding plate 1 is provided with a plurality of ventilation holes 11 penetrating through the inner surface 201 and the outer surface of the air guiding plate 1. The ventilation holes 11 are communicated with the air flow channel 12. Thus, as described above, the air guiding component 100 can have two air outlet dimensions in which the two air guiding strips 20 respectively blow air in the directions away from each other, one air outlet dimension in which air blows through the air flow channel 12 and the ventilation holes 11, and two air outlet dimensions in which air blows through the side air outlets 13 at both ends of the air flow channel 12 respectively, for a total of at least five air outlet dimensions (such as the air blowing in the five directions S1, S2, S3, S4, and S5 shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4 ).

[0095] Thus, on the basis of using the two air guiding strips 20 to guide air away from each other, the air flow channels 12, the ventilation holes 11 and the air outlets of the side air outlets 13 can also be used to quickly stir the air in the whole house, promote the microcirculation of the air in the room, so that people will not feel stuffy, and the temperature can be quickly adjusted through multi-dimensional air supply, the temperature uniformity can be improved, and the user comfort experience can be enhanced. Moreover, when the air guiding component 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention is used for a wall-mounted air conditioner, while solving the problem that the cold air blows directly at the user and the hot air cannot reach the user's feet, the air flow channels 12, the ventilation holes 11 and the air outlets of the side air outlets 13 can be used to accelerate the stirring of the air in the whole house, promote the microcirculation of the air in the room, so that people will not feel stuffy, and the problem of insufficient comfort caused by single-dimensional air supply is solved. In short, multi-dimensional air supply in the front, rear, left, right and down directions can be realized, thereby enhancing the user comfort experience.

[0096] For example, as shown in Figure 5 and Figure 6 , when the air conditioner 1000 is a wall-mounted air conditioner, when the air guiding component 100 is switched to the front air outlet state (for example, as shown in Figure 5 ), the air flow flowing out from the air outlet 200 is guided forward by the front air guiding strip 20, which can avoid the cold air blowing directly at the user, and a part of the air flow can also flow out to the outside of the air guiding plate 1 through the air flow channel 12 and the ventilation hole 11, and a part of the air flow also flows out to both sides of the length of the air guiding plate 1 through the air flow channel 12 and the side air outlet 13 (combined with Figure 9 , that is, the left and right sides), so as to quickly stir the air in the whole house, promote the microcirculation of the air in the room, so that people will not feel stuffy, and the temperature can be quickly adjusted through multi-dimensional air supply, the temperature uniformity can be improved, and the user comfort experience can be enhanced.

[0097] When the air guiding component 100 is switched to the rear air outlet state (for example, as shown in Figure 6 ), the air flow flowing out from the air outlet 200 is guided backward by the rear air guiding strip 20, which can solve the problem that the hot air cannot reach the user's feet, and a part of the air flow can also flow out to the outside of the air guiding plate 1 through the air flow channel 12 and the ventilation hole 11, and a part of the air flow also flows out to both sides of the length of the air guiding plate 1 through the air flow channel 12 and the side air outlet 13 (combined with Figure 9 , that is, the left and right sides), so as to quickly stir the air in the whole house, promote the microcirculation of the air in the room, so that people will not feel stuffy, and the temperature can be quickly adjusted through multi-dimensional air supply, the temperature uniformity can be improved, and the user comfort experience can be enhanced.

[0098] In addition, combined with Figure 7, when the air conditioner 1000 is a wall-mounted air conditioner, the air guiding component 100 can also have a front and rear air outlet state. At this time, the air flow flowing out from the air outlet 200 is divided into five streams. One stream guides the air forward through the front air guiding strip 20, one stream guides the air backward through the rear air guiding strip 20, one stream flows out to the outside of the air guiding plate 1 through the air flow channel 12, the ventilation holes 11 and the side air outlet 13, and the other two streams flow out to the outside of the two ends of the length of the air guiding plate 1 through the side air outlets 13 on both sides respectively by the air flow channel 12 (combined with Figure 9 , that is, the left and right sides), so as to quickly stir the air in the whole house, promote the microcirculation of the room air, make people not feel stuffy, and through multi-dimensional air supply, quickly adjust the temperature, improve the temperature uniformity and enhance the user comfort experience.

[0099] In addition, combined with Figure 8 , when the air conditioner 1000 is a wall-mounted air conditioner, the air guiding component 100 can also have a closed state. At this time, the air guiding component 100 blocks the air outlet 200. If the air conditioner 1000 is in the shutdown state, no air flow will flow out from the air outlet 200. If the air conditioner is in the startup state, the air flow flowing out from the air outlet 200 can flow out to the outside of the air guiding plate 1 through the air flow channel 12 and the ventilation holes 11. When the ventilation holes 11 are micro-holes, a soft air flow feeling (or a feeling of no air flow) can be realized for the air outlet.

[0100] With the improvement of people's living standards, air conditioners have gradually entered thousands of households. However, the air outlet direction of the air conditioner is single. By setting the air guiding plate and louvers, only the air outlet angle can be slightly adjusted in the current air outlet direction. The indoor temperature is uneven and the temperature adjustment speed is slow. More specifically, in the related art, when the air conditioner is cooling or heating, the cold air and hot air are relatively concentrated, the temperature diffusion is uneven, which easily leads to slow temperature drop and rise in the room, and at the same time brings the problem of uneven temperature. In addition, the indoor air makes users feel stuffy and the user experience comfort is poor. However, for the air guiding component 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention, on the basis of guiding the air in two directions away from each other by using the two air guiding strips 20 respectively, the air supply through the air flow channel 12 combined with the side air outlet 13 and / or the ventilation holes 11 can be utilized to realize multi-dimensional air supply, so as to accelerate the stirring of the air in the whole house, promote the microcirculation of the room air, make people not feel stuffy, and can quickly adjust the temperature, improve the temperature uniformity and enhance the user comfort experience.

[0101] In addition, if people are blown by cold air for a long time in an air-conditioned environment, various problems such as air-conditioning diseases will be caused. Some air conditioners in the related art, although having the effect of preventing direct blowing of cold air, cannot maintain the cooling capacity in the mode of preventing direct blowing of cold air, and the room temperature will rise quickly, resulting in low comfort. The air guiding component 100 according to the embodiment of the invention can, while solving the problem of preventing direct blowing of cold air, quickly stir the air in the whole house, so that the cooling capacity can be maintained, the room temperature can still be kept low and uniform, resulting in high comfort, and can control the air flow speed in the room, can well solve the problem of preventing cold air from blowing on people, and will not make people feel stuffy indoors. The implementation method is simple and reliable.

[0102] It can be understood that when the air conditioner 1000 is a wall-mounted air conditioner, as Figure 5 shown, the "front air outlet state" described in this article means that: the air guiding component 100 moves towards the rear side of the air outlet 200, a front air outlet opening is defined between the front end of the air guiding component 100 and the front side edge of the air outlet 200, and there is no rear air outlet opening between the rear end of the air guiding component 100 and the rear side edge of the air outlet 200. The air flow can be led forward by the front air guiding strip 20 and cannot be led backward by the rear air guiding strip 20.

[0103] It can be understood that when the air conditioner 1000 is a wall-mounted air conditioner, as Figure 6 shown, the "rear air outlet state" described in this article means that: the air guiding component 100 moves towards the front side of the air outlet 200, there is no front air outlet opening between the front end of the air guiding component 100 and the front side edge of the air outlet 200, and a rear air outlet opening is defined between the rear end of the air guiding component 100 and the rear side edge of the air outlet 200. The air flow can be led backward by the rear air guiding strip 20 and cannot be led forward by the front air guiding strip 20.

[0104] It can be understood that when the air conditioner 1000 is a wall-mounted air conditioner, as Figure 7 shown, the "front and rear air outlet state" described in this article means that: a front air outlet opening is defined between the front end of the air guiding component 100 and the front side edge of the air outlet 200, and a rear air outlet opening is defined between the rear end of the air guiding component 100 and the rear side edge of the air outlet 200. The air flow can be led backward by the rear air guiding strip 20 and can also be led forward by the front air guiding strip 20.

[0105] Among them, in the "front and rear air outlet state", the opening distance X1 of the front air outlet opening and the opening distance X2 of the rear air outlet opening are not limited. For example, they can both be 0 mm to 200 mm. Further, the preferred range can be 28 mm to 55 mm, so as to ensure the air supply effect.

[0106] It can be understood that when the air conditioner 1000 is a wall-mounted air conditioner, as Figure 8As shown, the "closed state" described in this article means that there is no front air outlet opening between the front end of the air guiding component 100 and the front side edge of the air outlet 200, and there is no rear air outlet opening between the rear end of the air guiding component 100 and the rear side edge of the air outlet 200. The air flow cannot be led out backward by the rear air guiding strip 20, nor can it be led out forward by the front air guiding strip 20.

[0107] In some examples, when the air flow channel 12 extends along the length direction F1 of the air guiding plate 1 and both ends in the extending direction are open to form side air outlets 13, in the closed state, the side air outlets 13 can be hidden inside the body 700 of the air conditioner 1000. Thus, in the shutdown state, it can be avoided that dirt and the like enter the air conditioner 1000 through the side air outlets 13, improving the reliability and sealing performance of the air conditioner 1000.

[0108] It should be noted that the shape of the air guiding plate 1 is not limited. For example, it can be designed according to the appearance form of the air conditioner 1000. For example, in some specific examples, as Figure 5 - Figure 8 shown, the outer surface of the air guiding plate 1 can be formed into a plane, which is convenient for processing. Moreover, when the air guiding component 100 is applied to the air outlet 200 at the front side of the bottom of the wall-mounted air conditioner, when the air guiding component 100 is in the closed state, it can ensure that the bottom surface of the wall-mounted air conditioner is flat, thus saving space.

[0109] Again, for example, in some specific examples, as Figure 10 - Figure 11 shown, the outer surface of the air guiding plate 1 can be formed into a convex curved surface, that is, the middle part of the outer surface of the air guiding plate 1 protrudes toward the outside of the air guiding plate 1. Thus, to a certain extent, the setting range of the ventilation holes 11 can be increased, so that the air volume and range of the air flowing out from the ventilation holes 11 can be improved, enhancing the effect of stirring the air in the whole house. Moreover, when the air guiding component 100 is applied to the air outlets 200 at the front side and the lower front side of the bottom of the wall-mounted air conditioner, when the air guiding component 100 is in the closed state, it can ensure that the appearance surface at the lower front corner of the wall-mounted air conditioner is smooth, thus saving space and avoiding problems such as bumping with users.

[0110] It should be noted that the height of the air guiding strip 20 is not limited. For example Figure 4 shown, in the thickness direction F3 of the air guiding plate 1, the relationship between the height H of the air guiding strip 20 and the width W of the air guiding plate 1 can be: W / 8 ≤ H ≤ W / 3. For example, H = W / 3, H = W / 4, H = W / 5, H = W / 6, H = W / 7, H = W / 8, etc. Thus, the air guiding effect can be ensured.

[0111] In some embodiments of the present invention, as Figure 12 shown, the surface (i.e., the inner surface 201) of at least one air guiding strip 20 facing away from the air guiding plate 1 includes an extending portion 23 that smoothly extends toward the middle vertical plane S of the air guiding plate 1 (for example Figure 12The part shown by the dashed circle in the middle) The extension part 23 is located on the side of the air flow channel 12 away from the air deflector 1. It should be noted that the "mid-perpendicular plane S of the air deflector 1" refers to: passing through the center of the air deflector 1, extending along the length direction F1 of the air deflector 1, and perpendicular to the plane of the air deflector 1. Thus, by extending the air inlet end 202 of the air guide strip 20 towards the mid-perpendicular plane S of the air deflector 1 (i.e., extending along the direction from the air outlet end 203 to the air inlet end 202 of the air guide strip 20), the air guiding area of the air guide strip 20 can be increased, making the air outlet smoother.

[0112] In some embodiments of the present invention, at least one air guide strip 20 has at least one diversion groove 25, and the diversion groove 25 extends from the air inlet end 202 to the air outlet end 203 of the corresponding air guide strip 20. It should be noted that the setting position of the diversion groove 25 is not limited. For example, it can be formed inside and / or outside the air guide strip 20 (such as the internal diversion groove 252 and / or the external diversion groove 251 described later). Thus, the diversion groove 25 can be used for air diversion, so as to better stir the air, improve the temperature regulation efficiency, and improve the temperature uniformity.

[0113] In some embodiments of the present invention, when a air guide strip 20 has a diversion groove 25 (such as the internal diversion groove 252 and / or the external diversion groove 251 described later), the diversion groove 25 can be provided in multiple numbers and spaced apart along the length direction F1 of the air guide strip 20. Thus, the effect of guiding air by the diversion groove 25 is more obvious, which can better stir the air, improve the temperature regulation efficiency, and improve the temperature uniformity.

[0114] In some embodiments of the present invention, when a air guide strip 20 has a diversion groove 25 (such as the internal diversion groove 252 and / or the external diversion groove 251 described later), optionally, the extension direction of at least one diversion groove 25 is perpendicular to the length direction F1 of the air guide strip 20. Thus, it is convenient for processing. Or optionally, the extension direction of at least one diversion groove 25 is inclined to the length direction F1 and the width direction F2 of the air guide strip 20, that is, the extension direction of at least one diversion groove 25 intersects with the length direction F1 of the air guide strip 20 at an acute angle or an obtuse angle. Thus, the air supply angle can be adjusted to meet the requirements of different application scenarios, and the air can be better stirred, improving the temperature regulation efficiency and the temperature uniformity.

[0115] It should be noted that the specific structure of the air guide strip 20 is not limited and can be in various forms. Below, four alternative embodiments will be introduced respectively.

[0116] Embodiment 1, as Figure 13 - Figure 15As shown, the surface (i.e., the inner surface 201) of at least one air guide strip 20 facing away from the air guide plate 1 is a smooth surface, which can be a smooth plane or a smooth curved surface, as long as there is no air guide groove 25. Thus, it is convenient for processing, the air flow is stable, and the air outlet is smooth.

[0117] Embodiment 2, as Figure 16 - Figure 20 shown, at least one air guide strip 20 has at least one air guide groove 25. The air guide groove 25 extends from the air inlet end 202 to the air outlet end 203 of the corresponding air guide strip 20. In this embodiment, the air guide groove 25 includes an external air guide groove 251 formed on the outer side of the corresponding air guide strip 20. The external air guide groove 251 is formed on the surface (i.e., the inner surface 201) of the corresponding air guide strip 20 facing away from the air guide plate 1. It should be noted that the part of the inner surface 201 of the air guide strip 20 located between two adjacent external air guide grooves 251 is an interval part 26. Thus, part of the air flow flowing out along the inner surface 201 of the air guide strip 20 can flow out through the air guide of the interval part 26, and the other part can flow out along the air guide of the external air guide groove 251, so as to further stir the air, improve the temperature adjustment efficiency, and improve the temperature uniformity.

[0118] Optionally, as Figure 20 shown, the air guide surface 2510 (i.e., the bottom surface of the groove) of the external air guide groove 251 is configured as a curved surface recessed in the direction facing the air guide plate 1. Thus, when using this air guide strip 20 to adjust the air supply direction of the cold air, the air guide surface 2510 of the external air guide groove 251 can be used to prevent the cold air from blowing directly at the user downward, improving the comfort of the user.

[0119] It should be noted that the external air guide groove 251 can extend in a direction perpendicular to the length direction F1 of the air guide strip 20, or can extend in a direction intersecting the length direction F1 of the air guide strip 20 at an acute angle or an obtuse angle, so as to meet the air supply requirements in different directions. For example, in Figure 16 the specific example shown, the first air guide strip 21 includes two sub-sections 207, namely a first sub-section 211 and a second sub-section 212, arranged in sequence along the length direction F1 of the air guide plate 1. Each of the multiple external air guide grooves 251 on the first sub-section 211 is inclined in the direction away from the second sub-section 212 in the direction from the air inlet end 202 to the air outlet end 203, and each of the multiple external air guide grooves 251 on the second sub-section 212 is inclined in the direction away from the first sub-section 211 in the direction from the air inlet end 202 to the air outlet end 203. Thus, the same-side double-sided air supply can be realized, increasing the air supply range in the left and right directions, so as to better stir the air, improve the temperature adjustment efficiency, and improve the temperature uniformity.

[0120] Of course, the present invention is not limited thereto. When the air conditioner indoor unit is installed at a corner position in the room, the inclination directions of the external diversion grooves 251 on the first sub-segment 211 and the external diversion grooves 251 on the second sub-segment 212 can also be set to be the same, so as to achieve one-sided air supply on the same side, increase the air supply range in the left direction or the right direction, thereby better agitating the air, improving the temperature adjustment efficiency, and improving the temperature uniformity.

[0121] Embodiment 3, as Figure 21 - Figure 26 shown, at least one air guide strip 20 has at least one diversion groove 25, and the diversion groove 25 extends from the air inlet end 202 of the corresponding air guide strip 20 to the air outlet end 203 of the air guide strip 20. In this embodiment, the diversion groove 25 includes an internal diversion groove 252 formed inside the corresponding air guide strip 20, and both the inlet 2521 and the outlet 2522 of the internal diversion groove 252 penetrate the surface of the corresponding air guide strip 20, that is, the inlet 2521 of the internal diversion groove 252 penetrates the air inlet end 202 of the air guide strip 20, and the outlet 2522 of the internal diversion groove 252 penetrates the air outlet end 203 of the air guide strip 20. Thus, the air flow can not only flow out along the diversion of the inner surface 201 of the air guide strip 20, but also flow out along the diversion of the internal diversion groove 252, thereby further agitating the air, improving the temperature adjustment efficiency, and improving the temperature uniformity.

[0122] It should be noted that the internal diversion groove 252 can extend in a direction perpendicular to the length direction F1 of the air guide strip 20, or can extend in a direction intersecting the length direction F1 of the air guide strip 20 at an acute angle or an obtuse angle, so as to meet the air supply requirements in different directions. For example, in some specific examples, the air guide strip 20 can include two parts with equal lengths and arranged in sequence along the length direction F1 of the air guide plate 1. Each of the multiple internal diversion grooves 252 on the left part inclines to the left in the direction from the air inlet end 202 to the air outlet end 203, and each of the multiple internal diversion grooves 252 on the right part inclines to the right in the direction from the air inlet end 202 to the air outlet end 203. Thus, one-sided air supply on both sides of the same side can be achieved, increasing the air supply range in the left and right directions, thereby better agitating the air, improving the temperature adjustment efficiency, and improving the temperature uniformity.

[0123] Of course, the present invention is not limited thereto. When the air conditioner indoor unit is installed at a corner position in the room, the inclination directions of all the internal diversion grooves 252 on the air guide strip 20 can also be set to be the same, so as to achieve one-sided air supply on the same side, increase the air supply range in the left direction or the right direction, thereby better agitating the air, improving the temperature adjustment efficiency, and improving the temperature uniformity.

[0124] Embodiment 4: At least one air guide bar 20 has at least one air guiding groove 25. The air guiding groove 25 extends from the air inlet end 202 of the corresponding air guide bar 20 to the air outlet end 203 of the air guide bar 20. In this embodiment, the air guiding groove 25 includes an external air guiding groove 251 formed on the outside of the corresponding air guide bar 20. The external air guiding groove 251 is formed on the surface (i.e., the inner surface 201) of the corresponding air guide bar 20 facing away from the air guide plate 1. At the same time, the air guiding groove 25 further includes an internal air guiding groove 252 formed inside the corresponding air guide bar 20. The inlet 2521 and the outlet 2522 of the internal air guiding groove 252 both penetrate the surface of the corresponding air guide bar 20, that is, the inlet 2521 of the internal air guiding groove 252 penetrates the air inlet end 202 of the air guide bar 20, and the outlet 2522 of the internal air guiding groove 252 penetrates the air outlet end 203 of the air guide bar 20. Thus, the air flow can not only flow out along the inner surface 201 of the air guide bar 20 and the air guiding of the external air guiding groove 251, but also flow out along the air guiding of the internal air guiding groove 252, so that the air can be further agitated, the temperature adjustment efficiency can be improved, and the temperature uniformity can be improved.

[0125] In some embodiments of the present invention, at least one air guide bar 20 has at least one air guiding groove 25. The air guiding groove 25 extends from the air inlet end 202 of the corresponding air guide bar 20 to the air outlet end 203 of the air guide bar 20 (for example, but not limited to Embodiment 2, Embodiment 3, and Embodiment 4 above), so that the air can be better agitated, the temperature adjustment efficiency can be improved, and the temperature uniformity can be improved.

[0126] In some embodiments of the present invention, at least a part of the surface (i.e., the inner surface 201) of at least one air guide bar 20 facing away from the air guide plate 1 is configured as a curved surface recessed in the direction of the air guide plate 1. Thus, when using the air guide bar 20 to adjust the air supply direction of the cold air, the cold air can be prevented from blowing directly down on the user, improving the comfort of the user. For example, the inner surface 201 of the air guide bar 20 in Embodiment 1 above can be integrally configured as a curved surface recessed in the direction of the air guide plate 1, and for another example, the air guiding surface of the air guiding groove 25 in Embodiment 2, Embodiment 3, and Embodiment 4 above can be configured as a curved surface recessed in the direction of the air guide plate 1.

[0127] In some embodiments of the present invention, a cavity 24 is formed inside at least one air guide bar 20. Thus, the weight can be reduced, the cost can be lowered, and problems such as condensation on the outer surface of the air guide plate 1 can be improved. For example, a cavity 24 can be formed inside the air guide bar 20 in Embodiment 1 or Embodiment 2 above, and for another example, the internal air guiding groove 252 in Embodiment 3 and Embodiment 4 can be used as the cavity 24.

[0128] It should be noted that the specific connection method between the air guide strip 20 and the air guide plate 1 is not limited. For example, in some embodiments, at least one air guide strip 20 and the air guide plate 1 are integrated. This facilitates processing and can improve the connection reliability between the air guide strip 20 and the air guide plate 1. It should be noted that the integrated part can be an integrated molded part or a secondary injection molded part.

[0129] Alternatively, in some other embodiments, at least one wind guide strip 20 and the wind guide plate 1 are separate parts and are assembled and connected. As a result, the wind guide strip 20 and the wind guide plate 1 can be separately processed into structural forms that meet their respective wind guide requirements, which is convenient for processing and can be simply and effectively required. It should be noted that the specific method of assembly connection is not limited, and it can be a non-detachable assembly connection, such as bonding, riveting, etc., or a detachable assembly connection, such as threaded connection, snap connection, magnetic connection, etc., so that the wind guide strip 20 can be disassembled as needed for cleaning, replacement, maintenance and other operations.

[0130] For example, in some specific examples, at least one air guide strip 20 is detachably connected to the air guide plate 1 through a buckle assembly 3 and / or a magnetic assembly, that is, it is detachably connected through at least one of the buckle assembly 3 and the magnetic assembly. Thus, there is no need to tighten the screws, which facilitates disassembly. Figure 27 - Figure 30 In the example shown, the snap-fit ​​assemblies 3 are in multiple groups and are spaced apart along the length direction F1 of the air guide plate 1 , thereby improving the reliability of the snap-fit ​​connection.

[0131] In some specific examples, such as Figure 27 - Figure 31 As shown, the buckle assembly 3 is arranged on the side of the corresponding air guide strip 20 facing the air flow channel 12, and the side of the air guide strip 20 facing away from the air flow channel 12 (i.e., the air outlet end 203 of the air guide strip 20) is limitedly matched with the air guide plate 1 through the limiting assembly 4. In this way, the interference of the buckle assembly 3 and the limiting assembly 4 on the air flow can be reduced, and the assembly reliability and convenience of the air guide strip 20 can be simply and effectively ensured.

[0132] In some specific examples, such as Figure 28 and Figure 30 As shown, a groove 27 is formed on the surface of one side of the air guide strip 20 facing the air flow channel 12, and the buckle assembly 3 includes a clamping block 31 disposed in the groove 27. The buckle assembly 3 also includes a hook 32 disposed on the air guide plate 1, and the hook 32 extends into the groove 27 and is buckled with the clamping block 31. Therefore, by arranging the hook 32 on the air guide plate 1, processing can be facilitated, and the assembly of the hook 32 and the clamping block 31 is simple and reliable. By arranging the groove 27 to accommodate the clamping block 31, it can be avoided that the coordination of the hook 32 and the clamping block 31 occupies the space of the air flow channel 12, and the interference of the buckle assembly 3 on the air flow is reduced.

[0133] In some specific examples, such as 30 andFigure 31 As shown, the limiting component 4 includes a limiting slot 41 and a limiting block 42. The limiting slot 41 is formed on the width-side edge of the air guide plate 1 (i.e., the edge extending along the length direction F1 of the air guide plate 1 and located on one side in the width direction F2 of the air guide plate 1). The limiting block 42 is provided on the side of the air guide strip 20 facing away from the air flow channel 12 (i.e., the air outlet end 203 of the air guide strip 20), and the limiting block 42 is inserted into the limiting slot 41. Thus, the processing of both the limiting slot 41 and the limiting block 42 is relatively simple, and it is convenient for assembly, and the limiting effect is reliable.

[0134] In some specific examples of the present invention, such as Figure 30 and Figure 31 As shown, the air guide strip 20 may include a first wall surface 204 and a second wall surface 205. Both the first wall surface 204 and the second wall surface 205 extend along the length direction F1 of the air guide plate 1. The first wall surface 204 serves as the side wall of the air flow channel 12. The first wall surface 204 may have a groove 27 and a clamping block 31. One end of the second wall surface 205 is connected to the end of the first wall surface 204 away from the air guide plate 1 to form the air inlet end 202 of the air guide strip 20. The other end of the second wall surface 205 extends toward the direction close to the air guide plate 1 and serves as the air outlet end 203 of the air guide strip 20. The outer surface of the second wall surface 205 is the inner surface 201 of the air guide strip 20. The end of the second wall surface 205 close to the air guide plate 1 may have a limiting block 42.

[0135] Thus, the structure of the air guide strip 20 is simple, it is a hollow structure inside, and the weight is relatively light. It can improve the problem of condensation formation on the air guide plate 1. Moreover, when assembling with the air guide plate 1, since the air guide strip 20 does not have a third wall surface 206 that fits the inner surface of the air guide plate 1, there will be no large face-to-face contact. On the one hand, it can reduce the processing accuracy and ensure the smoothness of assembly. On the other hand, it can avoid the air guide strip 20 causing deformation of the air guide plate 1. However, the present invention is not limited thereto. In some other examples of the present invention, the air guide strip 20 may also have a third wall surface 206 to improve the structural strength of the air guide strip 20.

[0136] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 16 As shown, two air guide strips 20 may be symmetrically arranged with respect to the central vertical plane S of the air guide plate 1. Thus, it is convenient for processing. Moreover, when both two air guide strips 20 are detachably assembled and connected to the air guide plate 1, it is convenient for processing and assembly. That is, during processing, there is no need to process two types of air guide strips 20. During assembly, there is no need to select the air guide strips 20 either, and they have interchangeability.

[0137] In some specific examples of the present invention, such as Figure 16As shown, at least one air guiding strip 20 includes a plurality of sub-segments 207 arranged in sequence along the length direction F1 of the air guiding plate 1. Each sub-segment 207 is detachably connected to the air guiding plate 1, and the installation positions of the plurality of sub-segments 207 are interchangeable. Thus, when the air guiding effects of the plurality of sub-segments 207 are the same, assembly is facilitated. When the air guiding effects of the plurality of sub-segments 207 are different, different air guiding effects can be presented by combining through exchanging the positional relationships of different sub-segments 207.

[0138] In some specific examples, both air guiding strips 20 include a plurality of sub-segments 207 arranged in sequence along the length direction F1 of the air guiding plate 1. Each sub-segment 207 is detachably connected to the air guiding plate 1, and the installation positions of all the sub-segments 207 are interchangeable. Thus, installation is facilitated, and in some cases, different air guiding effects can be combined.

[0139] For example, in Figure 16 the specific example shown, each air guiding strip 20 is disconnected from the middle into two sub-segments 207. Each sub-segment 207 is detachably connected to the air guiding plate 1, and the positions of any two of the four sub-segments 207 can be interchanged, so as to realize any combination of the four sub-segments 207. Thus, installation is facilitated, and when the structures and air guiding effects of the four sub-segments 207 are different, different air guiding effects can be combined.

[0140] Next, an embodiment of the air guiding component 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention applied to an air conditioner 1000 will be described.

[0141] As Figure 32 - Figure 33 shown, the air conditioner 1000 may include: a body 700, an air guiding component 100, and a driving mechanism 800. A duct 601 is provided inside the body 700. An air inlet 300 and an air outlet 200 communicating with the duct 601 are provided on the body 700. The air guiding component 100 is disposed at the air outlet 200. The driving mechanism 800 is connected between the air guiding component 100 and the body 700 and is used to drive the air guiding component 100 to move relative to the body 700. Thus, for the air conditioner 1000 according to an embodiment of the present invention, by providing the above-mentioned air guiding component 100 and driving the air guiding component 100 to move through the driving mechanism 800, multi-dimensional air supply and switching can be realized, thereby accelerating the agitation of the whole-house air, promoting the microcirculation of the room air, making people not feel stuffy, and quickly adjusting the temperature, improving the temperature uniformity, and enhancing the user comfort experience. For example, in some specific examples, in combination with Figure 5 , the body 700 may include a heat exchange component 400, a ventilation component 500, and a duct component 600. The heat exchange component 400 may include a heat exchanger, electric auxiliary heating, etc. The ventilation component 500 may include a blower, a motor, etc. The duct component 600 may define the duct 601.

[0142] In some embodiments of the present invention, asFigure 27 and Figure 28 As shown in Figure 28 , two mounting seats 5 are provided on the inner surface of the air deflector 1. The two mounting seats 5 are respectively located on both sides of the length of the air guiding strip assembly 2, that is, on both sides in the length direction F1 of the air deflector 1. The driving mechanism 800 is adapted to be connected to the mounting seat 5 to mount the air guiding member 100 to the body 700. Thus, it can be ensured that the driving mechanism 800 is located on both sides of the air guiding strip assembly 2, thereby avoiding interfering with the air flow and ensuring the air outlet effect.

[0143] In some embodiments of the present invention, as Figure 32 and Figure 33 shown, the air conditioner 1000 is a wall-mounted air conditioner, and the air outlet 200 is formed at the front side and / or the lower front side of the bottom of the body 700. The driving mechanism 800 drives the air guiding member 100 to be movable and / or rotatable. Thus, the air guiding member 100 can be simply and effectively driven to switch different states. It should be noted that the movement can include reciprocating movement along a straight line and / or a curved track. Thus, the air guiding member 100 can be driven to switch at least one of the above-mentioned closed state, front air outlet state, rear air outlet state, and front and rear air outlet states.

[0144] Specifically, when the driving mechanism 800 can drive the air guiding member 100 to move, the moving direction of the air guiding member 100 can be determined according to the setting position of the air outlet 200.

[0145] For example, as Figure 5 - Figure 8 shown, when the air outlet 200 is formed at the front side of the bottom of the body 700, the moving direction of the air guiding member 100 can be a downward direction along a straight line. When the driving mechanism 800 drives the air guiding member 100 to move downward to the settling position, the air outlet 200 can be opened, and the driving mechanism 800 can drive the air guiding member 100 to rotate at the settling position, so as to switch the front air outlet state (for example Figure 5 shown), the rear air outlet state (for example Figure 6 shown), and the front and rear air outlet state (for example Figure 7 shown). When the driving mechanism 800 drives the air guiding member 100 to move upward to the rising position, the air guiding member 100 can present a closed state (for example Figure 8 shown).

[0146] Again, for example, as Figure 10 - Figure 11 shown, when the air outlet 200 is formed at the front side and the lower front side of the bottom of the body 700, the moving direction of the air guiding member 100 can be an oblique direction along a straight line or a curve. When the driving mechanism 800 drives the air guiding member 100 to move obliquely downward to the oblique pushing-out position, the air outlet 200 can be opened, and the driving mechanism 800 can drive the air guiding member 100 to rotate at the oblique pushing-out position, so as to switch the front air outlet state (for example Figure 11as shown), the rear air outlet state (this state is not shown in the figure), and the front and rear air outlet state (for example Figure 10 as shown), when the driving mechanism 800 drives the air guiding component 100 to move obliquely upward to the obliquely pulled-back position, the air guiding component 100 can present a closed state (this state is not shown in the figure).

[0147] It should be noted that the specific composition of the driving mechanism 800 is not limited. For example, it may include gears, racks, linkages, etc. to achieve movement and rotation, and there is no limitation here. In the front and rear air outlet state, the air flow can be respectively led forward and backward from the air guiding strips 20 of the air guiding component 100, and led out from the ventilation holes 11 and / or the side air outlets 13, so as to improve the situation that cold air or hot air blows directly on the user; in the rear air outlet state, the air flow can be led backward from the air guiding component 100 to direct the air flow downward to ensure the effect of warming the feet. In the front air outlet state, the air flow can be led forward from the air guiding component 100 to improve the problem of cold air blowing on people. In short, it can easily achieve the effect of preventing direct blowing up and down and having multi-dimensional air outlet, meet people's needs for avoiding air in different areas, and improve the comfort of the user experience. For example, through testing, in the front and rear air outlet state, the temperature stratification at the place with the largest room air volume is uniform, the difference between the highest temperature and the lowest temperature does not exceed 5°, and the temperature difference between adjacent heights does not exceed 0.5°. This test result proves the advantage of the air guiding component 100 of the embodiment of the present invention in quickly and evenly distributing the room temperature.
