[0078] 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 indicate 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 only used to explain the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0079] The following refers to Figures 1 - 34 Describe an air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0080] The air conditioner according to the present invention is provided with a housing 11, a wind guiding member 12 and a moving driving device 13. The wind guiding member 12 according to the present invention is movably arranged at the air outlet 111 and changes the air outlet direction of the air outlet 111 by moving. The moving driving device 13 is arranged on the housing 11 and connected to the wind guiding member 12 to drive the wind guiding member 12 to move between a first position and a second position.

[0081] In a traditional air conditioner indoor unit, the air deflector is generally designed inside the air outlet, and usually designed as a structure of multiple parallel air deflectors. The multiple air deflectors are connected by connecting rods. The motor drives one of the air deflectors to rotate, thereby driving all the air deflectors to rotate. For the traditional rotating air deflector scheme inside the air outlet, the air supply angle is small, the lateral air supply distance is short, the air volume generated when preventing direct blowing is small, and the comfort is poor.

[0082] Therefore, in this application, by setting the moving driving device 13, the moving driving device 13 drives the wind guiding member 12 to move between a first position and a second position, so that the indoor unit of the air conditioner has a variety of different air outlet modes. During the process of preventing direct blowing, sufficient air volume can be provided, and the comfort of using the air conditioner indoor unit 1 can be increased.

[0083] As Figures 21 - 22 shown, when the moving driving device 13 drives the wind guiding member 12 to move to the first position, the wind guiding member 12 cooperates with the first side of the air outlet 111 to guide the air towards the second side of the air outlet 111; when the moving driving device 13 drives the wind guiding member 12 to move to the second position, the wind guiding member 12 cooperates with the second side of the air outlet 111 to guide the air towards the first side of the air outlet 111.

[0084] It should be noted here that the first side and the second side of the air outlet 111 may refer to the two sides of the air outlet 111 in the width direction. After the wind guiding member 12 moves to the first position, the cooperation between the wind guiding member 12 and the first side of the air outlet 111 may be overlapping, staggered or abutting, but is not limited to the above cooperation methods. The purpose of the cooperation between the wind guiding member 12 and one side of the air outlet 111 is to limit the air flow from flowing out between the wind guiding member 12 and the first side of the air outlet 111. At this time, there is a large gap between the wind guiding member 12 and the second side of the air outlet 111. Most of the air flow can be led out from the gap between the wind guiding member 12 and the air outlet 111. At this time, the air flow rate is large, avoiding direct blowing towards the user from the air outlet 111. At this time, the air flow will bypass the user to play a role in preventing cold air from blowing directly, and at the same time, there is no air diffuser or the like blocking the air flow, and the air flow rate is large and the air volume is sufficient.

[0085] After the air guide member 12 moves to the second position, the cooperation between the air guide member 12 and the second side of the air outlet 111 can be overlapping, staggered or abutting, but is not limited to the above cooperation methods. The purpose of the cooperation between the air guide member 12 and the two sides of the air outlet 111 is to limit the air flow from blowing out between the air guide member 12 and the second side of the air outlet 111. At this time, there is a large gap between the air guide member 12 and the first side of the air outlet 111. Most of the air flow can be discharged through the gap between the air guide member 12 and the air outlet 111. At this time, the air flow rate is large, avoiding direct blowing towards the user from the air outlet 111. The air flow at this time will bypass the user to play a role in preventing cold air from blowing directly, and at the same time, there is no air diffuser or the like blocking the air flow, so the air flow rate is large and the air volume is sufficient.

[0086] As Figure 7 shown, the air guide member 12 can also move between the first position and the second position. Between the air guide member 12 and the first side of the air outlet 111, and between the air guide member 12 and the second side of the air outlet 111, air outlet channels are defined, so that the air flow can blow out through both sides. Since the air guide member 12 is located in the middle of the air outlet 111, it avoids the air flow from blowing directly at the user, playing a role in preventing cold air from blowing directly. At the same time, the air flow blown out through the air outlet channels on both sides forms an effect of surrounding air flow, which can quickly and evenly reduce the indoor air temperature, and at the same time can quickly cool down the wall, solving the hot stove effect in hot summer.

[0087] According to the air conditioner indoor unit 1 of the present invention, by setting the air guide member 12 to move between the first position and the second position, on the one hand, it avoids the direct blowing of the air outlet 111 at the user, and at the same time ensures the air volume of the indoor air, improves the air outlet condition of the user in the air conditioner indoor unit 1, improves the user experience, and enhances the cooling effect of the air conditioner indoor unit 1.

[0088] As Figure 5 shown, according to some embodiments of the present invention, the air guide member 12 is configured as multiple. The multiple air guide members 12 can move synchronously after being combined. The air flow cannot flow between two adjacent air guide members 12. The multiple air guide members 12 move between the first position, the second position, and between the first position and the second position to change the air outlet direction and air outlet mode.

[0089] In addition, multiple air guiding members 12 can be selectively moved away from each other to define an air outlet channel between two adjacent air guiding members 12. The air flow can pass through the space between two adjacent air guiding members 12 so that the air conditioner indoor unit 1 can blow air forward. When the multiple air guiding members 12 are located between the first position and the second position, a first air outlet channel is formed between the air guiding member 12 adjacent to the first side of the air outlet 111 and the first side of the air outlet 111, a second air outlet channel is formed between the air guiding member 12 adjacent to the second side of the air outlet 111 and the second side of the air outlet 111, and a third air outlet channel is formed between two adjacent air guiding members 12. The multiple air outlet channels can guide the air flow. The third air outlet channel faces the user directly, but the air volume is small and the air feeling of the blown air is weak, providing a good user experience. At the same time, the first air outlet channel and the second air outlet channel form an air flow that surrounds the indoor space to form a circulating air flow, improving the cooling effect on the indoor environment.

[0090] By constructing the air guiding members 12 as multiple ones, the air outlet modes of the air conditioner indoor unit 1 are enriched, further expanding the user's selection space. The air conditioner indoor unit 1 can better meet the user's usage requirements and improve the user's usage experience.

[0091] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the air guiding member 12 has a guiding surface 121, which is configured as an arc surface protruding towards the outside of the housing 11. The air guiding member 12 can be kept facing the air outlet 111 directly. The guiding surface 121 is used to guide the air flow blown out from the air outlet 111. After being configured as an arc surface, the guiding surface 121 can reduce the loss of the air flow velocity during the process of guiding the air flow by the air guiding member 12, improving the air supply efficiency of the air conditioner indoor unit 1.

[0092] Since the air guiding member 12 needs to guide the air flow to the first side or the second side of the air outlet 111 to form a surrounding air flow when in the first position and the second position, by configuring the guiding surface 121 as an arc surface protruding towards the outside of the housing 11, the air flow can flow along the arc surface of the guiding surface 121 when blowing towards the guiding surface 121. Thus, the friction between the air flow and the guiding surface 121 is reduced when changing the air outlet direction, and the noise generated by the friction between the air flow and the air guiding member 12 is also reduced, further optimizing the usage effect of the air conditioner indoor unit 1.

[0093] Such as Figure 12As shown, according to some embodiments of the present invention, the air guide member 12 includes an inner air guide plate 122 and an outer air guide plate 123. The air guide surface 121 in the above embodiments is provided on the inner air guide plate 122. The outer air guide plate 123 is located outside the inner air guide plate 122. A cavity is defined between the outer air guide plate 123 and the inner air guide plate 122. The air guide member 12 is provided with two parts, namely the inner air guide plate 122 and the outer air guide plate 123, which reduces the manufacturing difficulty of the air guide member 12. A cavity is provided between the inner air guide plate 122 and the outer air guide plate 123 to reduce the weight of the air guide member 12, thereby reducing the overall weight of the indoor unit 1 of the air conditioner and saving the cost of the air conditioner.

[0094] The ends of the outer air guide plate 123 and the inner air guide plate 122 are fitted. The ends mentioned here can be the outer peripheral edges of the outer air guide plate 123 and the inner air guide plate 122. A plurality of first connection parts can be provided on the outer peripheral edge of the outer air guide plate 123, and a plurality of second connection parts cooperating with the first connection parts are provided on the outer extension of the inner air guide plate 122. The first connection part and the second connection part can be fixed by means of snap connection, screw connection and the like to fix the outer air guide plate 123 and the inner air guide plate 122 to construct a complete air guide plate structure.

[0095] In addition, the outer air guide plate 123 and the inner air guide plate 122 are in snap-fit, which can reduce the cooperation difficulty between the inner air guide plate 122 and the outer air guide plate 123. The snap-fit is firm. The first connection part and the second connection part can be respectively formed on the inner air guide plate 122 and the outer air guide plate 123, and the forming is easy. In the subsequent assembly process of the inner air guide plate 122 and the outer air guide plate 123, the snap connection can save a separate assembly process, which helps to improve the production rhythm.

[0096] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the outer surface of the outer air guide plate 123 is configured as a convex arc surface, and the arc surface can have the same roundness as the outer surface of the casing 11. Thus, when the air guide member 12 is in the state of closing the air outlet 111, it overlaps or cooperates with the casing 11 to form an appearance surface with the same radian, thereby improving the aesthetics of the air guide member 12 in the state of closing the air outlet 111.

[0097] As Figure 10 shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, an air outlet grille is provided at the air outlet 111.

[0098] According to some embodiments of the present invention, when the air guide member 12 is one, the cross-section of the air guide member 12 can be configured as a triangle, a wedge and a crescent arc; when the air guide member 12 is configured as multiple, the structure formed by combining multiple air guide members 12 is a triangle, a wedge and a crescent arc. The cross-section of the air guide member 12 mentioned here is the cross-section formed by combining multiple air guide members 12.

[0099] When there are one or more air guiding members 12, in the solution where the cross-sectional structure of the air guiding member 12 or the combination of air guiding members 12 is triangular, the air guiding member 12 can be configured as an isosceles obtuse triangle, with the obtuse angle of the obtuse triangle facing the air outlet 111 directly, and the long side of the triangle located on the side away from the air outlet 111.

[0100] In some embodiments of the present invention, the moving driving device 13 includes a guiding member and a transmission member. The transmission member can cooperate with the guiding member to move along a preset moving trajectory under the guidance of the guiding member. The guiding member can be used to limit the moving direction of the transmission member so that the transmission member can complete a specified movement trajectory.

[0101] The transmission member is used to connect the air guiding member 12. The air guiding member 12 has the same movement trajectory as the transmission member. The transmission member can be located inside the housing 11. The cooperation relationship between the transmission member and the guiding member cannot be directly observed outside the housing 11 to protect the internal driving mechanism. The housing 11 can be used to protect the transmission member and the guiding member. The guiding member can be configured as a slide rail 131, a guide rail, a chute 1311, etc., having an orbital structure that is the same as the preset trajectory of the air guiding member 12. The transmission member cooperates with the guiding member to limit the movement of the transmission member along the rail structure in the preset trajectory, thereby ensuring the stable and reliable movement of the air guiding member 12 during the movement process.

[0102] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the moving driving device 13 further includes a first driving member 134. The first driving member 134 is linked with the transmission member and is adapted to drive the transmission member to drive the air guiding member 12 to move between a first position and a second position. The first driving member 134, as the prime mover of the moving driving device 13, is the power source for the movement of the air guiding member 12. The first driving member 134 can drive the transmission member to move so that the transmission member moves along the preset trajectory of the guiding member, and the air guiding member 12 also moves accordingly. The movement trajectory of the guiding member is the same as that of the air guiding member 12, both having a first position and a second position. When the transmission member moves to the first end of the guiding member trajectory corresponding to the first position, the air guiding member 12 correspondingly moves to the first position. When the transmission member moves to the other end of the guiding member trajectory corresponding to the second position, the air guiding member 12 correspondingly moves to the second position. The first driving member 134 can drive the transmission member to move along the guiding member trajectory to improve the entire transmission structure.

[0103] Such as Figure 13As shown, according to some embodiments of the present invention, the guiding member is configured as a slide rail 131, the transmission member includes a rack 132, the rack 132 cooperates with the slide rail 131 and moves along the extending direction of the slide rail 131. The rack 132 is connected to the air guiding member 12. The first driving member 134 is configured as a driving motor, and a gear 133 meshing with the rack 132 is provided at the output end of the driving motor. The gear 133 meshes with the rack 132 to be adapted to transmit driving force to the rack 132. After the gear 133 rotates, the teeth on the circumference of the gear 133 mesh with the teeth on the rack 132. The teeth on the rack 132 extend and are arranged in sequence in its length direction. Therefore, after the gear 133 rotates, it is equivalent to the gear 133 continuously climbing on the rack 132, causing relative movement between the gear 133 and the rack 132. And the motor is fixed on the housing 11. When relative movement occurs between the gear 133 and the rack 132, it can be understood that the motor drives the rack 132 to move.

[0104] At the same time, since the rack 132 remains in cooperation with the slide rail 131, the moving direction of the rack 132 is also limited. Therefore, the rack 132 can only move along the preset track of the slide rail 131, that is, the rack 132 can only drive the air guiding member 12 to move in the direction from the first position to the second position.

[0105] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the rack 132 can be configured as an arc-shaped rack 132, the gear 133 meshes with the teeth on one side of the arc-shaped rack 132, and the cabinet of the slide rail 131 is also configured as an arc shape, so that no relative rubbing occurs between the rack 132 and the slide rail 131, and the rack 132 is prevented from disengaging from the track of the slide rail 131.

[0106] According to some embodiments of the present invention, a plurality of limiting columns 1522 are provided on the rack 132, and the plurality of limiting columns 1522 are arranged at intervals in the extending direction of the rack 132. The distances from the plurality of limiting columns 1522 to the center of the arc formed by the rack 132 or the track are the same. It can be understood that the radius of the arc of the moving track of the rack 132 is the same as the distance between the plurality of limiting columns 1522 and the center of the moving track of the rack 132, and the moving tracks of the plurality of limiting columns 1522 also fall on the arc formed by the slide rail 131. Thereby further restricting the rack 132 from disengaging from the slide rail 131 and improving the stability of the relative movement between the rack 132 and the slide rail 131.

[0107] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the air guiding member 12, the rack 132, the gear 133, the slide rail 131 and the first driving member 134 are all configured as two. The two air guiding members 12 can be combined to move synchronously to the first position or move synchronously to the second position. Air outlet cannot be realized between two adjacent air guiding members 12. The two air guiding members 12 move together to avoid direct air blowing from the front of the air outlet 111 to the user, and at the same time, a long-distance air supply mode of lateral air supply can be realized.

[0108] After the two air guiding members 12 are combined, they can be configured into a structure that is thick in the middle and thin at both ends, and each air guiding member 12 is configured into a lunar arc shape. Here, the lunar arc shape refers to an arc surface where both the inner surface and the outer surface protrude outward.

[0109] The two air guiding members 12 can also move in a direction away from each other to form an air outlet channel between the two air guiding members 12, so that part of the air flow can flow out through the space between the two air guiding members 12 to blow air in the forward direction of the air outlet 111, thereby increasing the air volume of the air outlet 111 on the front of the air conditioner indoor unit 1.

[0110] Since the two air guiding members 12 need to move synchronously and relatively, two sets of independent moving driving devices 13 need to be provided. By configuring the air guiding members 12, racks 132, gears 133, slide rails 131, and first driving members 134 into two each, the two air guiding members 12 are configured to move independently relative to each other, and the synchronous movement of the two air guiding members 12 is also realized under the control of the two corresponding first driving members 134 for synchronous movement.

[0111] Thus, the two gears 133 are respectively meshed with the two racks 132, so that each gear 133 drives the corresponding rack 132 to move along the corresponding slide rail 131 to ensure that the two air guiding members 12 can move independently in their respective cabinet units. The two first driving members 134 correspond to the two gears 133 respectively, and each first driving member 134 controls the corresponding gear 133 to move the air guiding member 12 accordingly.

[0112] In some embodiments of the present invention, the two air guiding members 12 are away from each other and can be controlled under the drive of a first driving member 134. The first driving member 134 can drive a gear 133. The racks 132 corresponding to the two air guiding members 12 are provided with teeth meshing with the gear 133 on their opposite surfaces. The gear 133 is arranged between the two racks 132. When the gear 133 rotates, the two racks 132 move in a direction away from each other, so that the corresponding two air guiding members 12 move away from each other to open the air guiding channel between the two air guiding members 12.

[0113] The two air guiding members 12 and the racks 132 driving the two air guiding members 12 can move under the drive of another driving device. The two air guiding members 12 can move between a first position and a second position under the drive of another first driving member 134 while remaining combined to achieve single-sided air outlet of the air conditioner indoor unit 1.

[0114] According to some embodiments of the present invention, both of the two slide rails 131 are configured as arc-shaped slide rails 131 and are arranged concentrically with equal radii. The two slide rails 131 are arranged concentrically with equal radii to ensure that the cabinet units moved by the two air guiding members 12 are the same. When the two air guiding members 12 move in a direction away from each other, the moving trajectories of the two air guiding members 12 can be unfolded along the outer surface of the cabinet 11, so that the distances between the two air guiding members 12 and the center line in the width direction of the air outlet 111 remain the same during the process of moving away from each other, so as to ensure the uniformity of the air output of the air conditioner indoor unit 1.

[0115] As Figure 13 shown, according to some embodiments of the present invention, a wind guiding member box frame 124 is provided on the cabinet 11. Slide rails 131 with the same center and equal radii are respectively provided on the upper and lower sides of the wind guiding member box frame 124. The wind guiding member box frame 124 is also configured as an arc shape. A wind guiding member box cover 125 is provided on the upper side of the wind guiding member box frame 124, and a wind guiding member box seat 126 is provided on the lower side of the wind guiding member box frame 124. Spaces that are spaced apart from each other and suitable for the movement of the rack 132 are defined between the wind guiding member box cover 125 and the upper and lower sides of the wind guiding member box frame 124 and between the wind guiding member box seat 126 and the upper and lower sides of the wind guiding member box frame 124 respectively. Two racks 132 are configured and are respectively fitted in the spaces on the upper and lower sides of the wind guiding member box frame 124. A gear 133 meshing with the rack 132 is provided in the corresponding space, and the motor is provided on the upper side of the wind guiding member box cover 125 or the lower side of the wind guiding member box seat 126. The output shaft of the motor extends into the space and is connected to the gear 133 to drive the gear 133 to rotate, and the gear 133 drives the corresponding rack 132 to move along the slide rail 131.

[0116] As Figure 12 shown, a mating pin passing through the wind guiding member box cover 125 or the wind guiding member box seat 126 can be provided on the rack 132. The mating pin can be exposed outside the moving driving device 13. At the upper end or the lower end of the wind guiding member 12, insertion holes that are in plug-in fit with the mating pin are provided at the upper and lower ends of the wind guiding member 12. The mating pin is inserted into the insertion hole, so that when the motor drives the gear 133 to rotate, the wind guiding member 12 is kept at the first position, the second position or moves between the first position and the second position. A plurality of mating pins are fitted with the corresponding wind guiding members 12, so that the plurality of wind guiding members 12 can be selectively moved away from each other to form an air outlet channel therebetween.

[0117] According to some embodiments of the present invention, each slide rail 131 includes a chute 1311 provided on at least one side in the thickness direction of the corresponding rack 132. A sliding column 1321 is provided on the corresponding side in the thickness direction of each rack 132, and the sliding column 1321 is fitted into the corresponding chute 1311. The slide rail 131 can be arranged on the air guide member frame 124. Two slide rails 131 are respectively arranged on the upper and lower surfaces of the air guide member frame 124. The slide rail 131 is constituted by the chute 1311. The chute 1311 can be configured as two raised ribs arranged on the upper and lower surfaces of the air guide member frame 124. A slide rail 131 is formed between the two raised ribs. A sliding column 1321 is arranged on each rack 132 to be embedded into the chute 1311 and move along a preset cabinet under the limitation of the two raised ribs. A through hole adapted to cooperate with a latch to pass through is arranged on the edge adjacent to the chute 1311, so that a mating latch on the rack 132 on the upper side of the air guide member frame 124 or a mating latch on the rack 132 on the lower side of the air guide member frame 124 can be used to make the mating latch pass through the air guide member frame 124 and be connected to the corresponding air guide member 12.

[0118] According to some embodiments of the present invention, there are two moving driving devices 13 which are arranged on the casing 11 on both sides in the length direction of the air guide member 12 respectively. Two racks 132, two guide rails and two first driving members 134 can be arranged on each moving driving device 13. The two racks 132 on the upper and lower moving driving devices 13 face each other. The upper and lower sides of one air guide member 12 are respectively driven by one rack 132, so that the movement of the air guide member 12 is stable.

[0119] According to some embodiments of the present invention, in the upper and lower moving driving devices 13, a motor can be arranged only on one of them, and only the slide rail 131 and the guide groove can be arranged in the other moving driving device 13 to only play a guiding role in the movement of the air guide member 12, so as to reduce the cost of the air conditioner indoor unit 1.

[0120] According to some embodiments of the present invention, a motor can be arranged in each of the upper and lower moving driving devices 13, and the upper and lower moving driving devices 13 can both drive one of the two air guide members 12 and guide the other.

[0121] According to some embodiments of the present invention, two motors are arranged on one of the upper and lower moving driving devices 13, and no motor is arranged on the other of the upper and lower moving driving devices 13.

[0122] According to some embodiments of the present invention, each air guide member 12 can be driven to be rotatably mounted on the moving driving device 13 around the mating latch, so that the air guide member 12 has a larger air outlet angle adjustment range of the air conditioner indoor unit.

[0123] When each air deflector 12 is in the first position, it rotates to increase the distance from the second side of the air outlet 111, so as to adjust the air volume of the air deflector 12 in the first position; when each air deflector 12 is in the second position, it rotates to increase the distance from the first side of the air outlet 111, so as to adjust the air volume of the air deflector 12 in the second position; when the two air deflectors 12 move away from each other to form an air outlet passage between the two air deflectors 12, the rotation of the air deflectors 12 is used to change the size of the air outlet passage between the two air deflectors 12, thereby controlling the air volume of the air outlet passage between the two air deflectors 12.

[0124] As Figure 14 shown, according to some embodiments of the present invention, the rack 132 is provided on one side in the length direction of the corresponding air deflector 12. The length direction referred to here may be the height direction. The air deflector 12 can extend in the height direction to be constructed as a long strip-shaped air deflector 12. The air deflector 12 is provided with a mating hole facing the corresponding rack 132. It can be understood that the upper and lower end faces of the air deflector 12 can be respectively opposite to the upper moving drive device 13 or the lower moving drive device 13. Mating holes are respectively provided on the upper and lower end faces of the air deflector 12, and through holes 1222 are provided on each rack 132.

[0125] A rotation drive mechanism 14 is further provided on the air conditioner indoor unit. The rotation drive mechanism 14 is adapted to drive the air deflector 12 to rotate to change the angle of the air deflector 12 so as to adjust the air outlet direction of the air conditioner indoor unit 1. The rotation drive mechanism 14 includes a drive shaft 141 and a rotation motor 142. The drive shaft 141 passes through the through hole 1222 so that the drive shaft 141 idles relative to the corresponding rack 132. The drive shaft 141 is inserted into the mating hole so that the drive shaft 141 drives the corresponding air deflector 12 to rotate. It should be noted here that the drive shaft 141 always remains stationary relative to the rack 132, and the drive shaft 141 can move with the rack 132.

[0126] After the drive shaft 141 passes through the through hole 1222 on the rack 132, there is no contact between the drive shaft 141 and the inner peripheral wall of the through hole 1222 to avoid interference between the drive shaft 141 and the rack 132. The drive shaft 141 can be used to drive the air deflector 12 to move with the movement of the rack 132 on the one hand, and on the other hand, the drive shaft 141 is used to drive the air deflector 12 to rotate around the drive shaft 141, so that the air deflector 12 can be used to adjust the angle of the air deflector 12.

[0127] In addition, the drive shaft 141 and the air deflector 12 can be constructed as a plurality of one-to-one correspondences. Each air deflector 12 corresponds to at least one drive shaft 141 of the corresponding drive shaft 141. When the air deflector 12 corresponds to two drive shafts 141, the extending directions of the two drive shafts 141 are the same and drive the air deflector 12 to rotate on the upper and lower sides respectively.

[0128] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the rotation driving mechanism 14 further includes a rotation motor 142. The rotation motor 142 corresponds to the driving shaft 141 respectively. The rotation motor 142 drives the corresponding driving shaft 141 to rotate. The driving shaft 141 rotates under the drive of the rotation motor 142 and transmits the driving force to the air guiding member 12. The rotation motor 142 serves as the driving device during the self-rotation process of the air guiding member 12, and the self-rotation angle of the air guiding member 12 is controlled by controlling the rotation motor 142.

[0129] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the rotation motor 142 can be arranged on the rack 132 to move synchronously with the rack 132. During the movement of the rack 132, the rotation motor 142 and the driving shaft 141 both move synchronously to ensure that the driving processes of the rotation driving mechanism 14 and the moving driving mechanism on the air guiding member 12 are independent of each other, and the reliability of the movement of the air guiding member 12 is improved.

[0130] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the air conditioner indoor unit further includes a switch door component. The switch door component includes two switch doors 15 extending in the vertical direction. The two switch doors 15 are arranged on both sides of the air outlet 111 in the horizontal direction. The two switch doors 15 are respectively movable between a closed position and an open position. The two switch doors 15 can move to the closed position so that the switch doors 15 are adjacent to the air guiding member 12. When the two switch doors 15 move to the open position, the air guiding member 12 can selectively move between a first position and a second position.

[0131] In this embodiment, the switch door component can be arranged on the outer periphery of the casing 11. In the closed state, the switch doors 15 and the air guiding member 12 are adjacent to each other. It should be noted here that the adjacency means that part of the edges of the switch doors 15 and part of the edges of the air guiding member 12 are in contact with each other to fit together. In the closed state, part of the air guiding member 12 faces the air outlet 111, and the two side edges of the air guiding member 12 are adjacent to the switch doors 15 so that the switch doors 15 and the air guiding member 12 together form the appearance surface of the casing 11.

[0132] When the switch doors 15 are in the open state, the two switch doors 15 are far away from each other to avoid the movement track of the air guiding member 12. In particular, the switch doors 15 can be far away to a position outside the first position and the second position, so as to prevent interference between the air guiding member 12 and the switch doors 15 during the movement between the first position and the second position.

[0133] As Figure 1 shown, for the air conditioner indoor unit 1 according to the present invention, by arranging the switch doors 15 to move between the open position and the closed position, a complete appearance surface is formed with the air guiding member 12 in the closed position, which improves the aesthetics of the air conditioner indoor unit 1, reduces the movement angle of the switch doors 15, enhances the sense of technology of the air conditioner indoor unit 1, and at the same time increases the stability of the switch doors 15 during the movement process.

[0134] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the air conditioner indoor unit includes a switch door component. The switch door component includes two switch doors 15 extending vertically. The two switch doors 15 are arranged transversely on both sides of the air outlet 111. The two switch doors 15 are respectively movable between a closed position and an open position, and the two switch doors 15 can move to the closed position to cover the air guiding member 12. When the switch door 15 is in the closed state, it will cover the air outlet 111 to close the air outlet 111. The switch door 15 not only closes the air outlet 111 but also is used to close the air guiding member 12 located at the air outlet 111. In this embodiment, the coverage range of the switch door 15 in the closed state is large, and it can effectively protect the outer surface of the air guiding surface 121 in the closed state.

[0135] As Figures 17 - 18 shown, according to some embodiments of the present invention, the switch door 15 is configured as a rotating door. The rear side edge of the switch door 15 is hinged to the housing 11 to rotate along the rear side edge of the rotating door. The switch door 15 can be configured as two split switch doors 15. The switch door 15 is configured as a long strip-shaped switch door 15 and has the same extending direction as the air outlet 111. The rear side edge of the switch door 15 extends in the vertical direction and can be hinge-connected to the housing 11. The switch door 15 can avoid the movement trajectory of the air guiding member 12 during the rotation process.

[0136] As Figure 18 described, in some embodiments, when the switch door 15 is in the closed state, the outer surface of the switch door 15 is spliced with the outer surface of the air guiding member 12 to form an integral body. When the switch door 15 switches from the closed state to the open state, the switch door 15 rotates towards the inner side of the housing 11 so that the switch door 15 and the air guiding member 12 are staggered to form an air outlet channel. This arrangement of the switch door 15 makes the movement range of the switch door 15 small, the operation is convenient, and the control is easy.

[0137] In some embodiments, when the switch door 15 is in the closed state, the inner surface of the switch door 15 covers the outside of the air guiding member 12. The outer surface of the switch door 15 serves as the appearance surface, and the switch door 15 opens towards the outside of the housing 11 in a split manner to expose the air guiding member 12, so that the air guiding member 12 can move along a preset trajectory.

[0138] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the switch door 15 is configured as a sliding door. The sliding door surrounds the outer periphery of the housing 11 and slides along the circumferential direction of the housing 11. Configuring the switch door 15 as a sliding door greatly reduces the movement amplitude of the switch door 15. The conversion between the open and closed states of the switch door 15 is more beautiful, improving the use experience of the air conditioner indoor unit and enhancing the user's feeling.

[0139] The sliding door mentioned here can be provided with a fixed sliding track on the casing 11 of the air conditioner indoor unit. When the sliding door is in the closed position, the sliding door remains in the position around the circumferential direction of the casing 11. The sliding track can be arranged around the casing 11 so that when the sliding door is opened, it can slide away from each other and slide along the extending direction of the outer peripheral edge of the casing 11.

[0140] As Figures 15 - 16 shown, according to some embodiments of the present invention, the air conditioner indoor unit includes a sliding door driving assembly 150. The sliding door driving assembly 150 includes a sliding door box seat 151, and the sliding door box seat 151 is provided with a first track 1511 and a second track 1512. Both the first track 1511 and the second track 1512 are configured as arc-shaped tracks protruding away from the direction of the casing 11. Here, it should be noted that the sliding door box seat 151 can be fixed on the casing 11. The sliding door box seat 151 serves as the installation base for the switch door 15, and the first track 1511 and the second track 1512 are defined therein to be used for defining the movement track of the switch door 15.

[0141] In the sliding door box seat 151, a plurality of ribs protruding upward are provided, and the plurality of ribs are spaced apart from each other to form the above-mentioned first track 1511 and second track 1512 between two adjacent tracks. Generally, a sliding door box cover 156 is further provided in the sliding door driving assembly 150. The sliding door box cover 156 is covered on the sliding door box seat 151 to form a closed moving space, so as to facilitate protecting the components moving in the first track 1511 and the second track 1512.

[0142] The sliding door driving assembly 150 further includes a sliding rack 152 and a second driving member 154. The sliding rack 152 is slidably arranged on the first track 1511, and the second driving member 154 is adapted to drive the sliding rack 152 to move on the first track 1511. The second driving member 154 serves as the power source of the sliding door driving assembly 150, is used to provide the original power for the movement of the sliding door, and controls the opening and closing of the sliding door.

[0143] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the sliding door driving assembly 150 further includes a swing plate 153. The swing plate 153 is rotatably arranged on the sliding rack 152 and slides along the second track 1512. The swing plate 153 is linked with the switch door 15. The swing of the swing plate 153 can drive the movement of the sliding door, and the swing plate 153 has degrees of freedom in multiple directions.

[0144] The swing plate 153 slides on the second track 1512, so that the swing plate 153 drives the switch door 15 to translate on the cabinet machine of the second track 1512 to complete the opening action of the switch door 15 moving away from each other. While the swing plate 153 is translating, it also rotates relative to the sliding rack 152. Since the sliding rack 152 slides on the first track 1511, the sliding of the sliding rack 152 on the first track 1511 is synchronized with the sliding of the swing plate 153 on the second track 1512. At the same time, the swing plate 153 also rotates relative to the sliding teeth, so that during the process of the switch door 15 being gradually opened, the switch door 15 is further unfolded to avoid interference between the switch door 15 and the cabinet 11 during the opening process, ensuring the smoothness during the opening process of the switch door 15.

[0145] According to some embodiments of the present invention, both the first track 1511 and the second track 1512 are configured as arc tracks. The first track 1511 is arranged inside the second track 1512, and the distance between the first track 1511 and the second track 1512 gradually increases in the opening direction of the switch door 15.

[0146] When the sliding rack 152 slides along the first track 1511, the sliding rack 152 drives one end of the swing plate 153 to slide along the track of the first track 1511 together. The other end of the swing plate 153 cooperates with the second track 1512, so that the other end of the swing plate 153 slides along the track of the second track 1512. The swing plate 153 drives the switch door 15 to open and rotate during the opening process, so that the switch door 15 completes the opening and gradually spreads out during the opening process, effectively ensuring that the switch door 15 does not touch the cabinet 11 when it is opened.

[0147] According to some embodiments of the present invention, a plurality of sliding shafts are arranged on the lower side of the sliding rack 152, and the sliding shafts are fitted inside the first track 1511. A pivot shaft 1521 is arranged at one end of the sliding rack 152, and a pivot hole 1531 cooperating with the pivot shaft 1521 is arranged on the upper side of the swing plate 153, so that the swing plate 153 rotates relative to the sliding rack 152.

[0148] According to some embodiments of the present invention, a limiting column 1522 is arranged on the upper side of the sliding rack 152, and a cooperating notch adapted to accommodate the limiting column 1522 is arranged on the swing plate 153. The cooperating notch extends in the direction of the relative rotation of the swing plate 153 with respect to the sliding rack 152 to limit the degree of freedom during the relative rotation of the swing plate 153 with respect to the sliding rack 152 and avoid the disengagement between the sliding rack 152 and the swing plate 153.

[0149] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the limit post 1522 is configured as one of a plurality of limit posts 1522, and one of the limit posts 1522 is provided at the other end in the extending direction of the sliding rack 152. The limit post 1522 and the pivot shaft 1521 are respectively arranged at both ends of the sliding rack 152. A limit groove 1532 that cooperates with the limit post 1522 located at the other end of the sliding rack 152 is provided on the swing plate 153. The limit groove 1532 is used to limit the rotational freedom between the sliding rack 152 and the swing plate 153.

[0150] According to some embodiments of the present invention, a rotating arm extending outward is provided on the outer side edge of the swing plate 153. The rotating arm is used to connect the switch door 15, and the upper end surface of the switch door 15 and the rotating arm can be fixed by means such as bolt connection, bonding and clamping.

[0151] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the sliding door drive assembly 150 can be arranged on the upper and lower sides of the housing 11 to support the switch door 15 in the upper and lower directions.

[0152] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the air conditioner indoor unit 1 further includes a diffuser plate. The diffuser plate is rotatably arranged on the housing 11 and can selectively close the air outlet channel. A diffusing area facing the air outlet channel is provided on the diffuser plate. Airflow can pass through the diffuser plate at the diffusing area. A diffusing structure is provided on the diffusing area for diffusing air, reducing the air outlet wind pressure of the air conditioner, and achieving a draft-free air outlet.

[0153] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the diffusing structure can be configured as a plurality of micropores formed on the diffusing area of the diffuser plate. The airflow from the air outlet duct flows out after passing through the plurality of micropores to reduce the wind pressure of the air outlet duct and achieve a draft-free air outlet.

[0154] According to some embodiments of the present invention, a plurality of diffusing holes are provided on the diffuser plate. The diffusing structure is configured as blades provided at the diffusing holes. The blades can rotate when the airflow passes through to reduce the wind pressure from the air outlet duct and achieve a draft-free air outlet.

[0155] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the diffuser plate and the air deflector 12 are configured as the same structure. The air deflector 12 is provided with a diffusing area for achieving a draft-free air outlet.

[0156] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the diffuser plate and the switch door 15 are configured as the same structure. The switch door 15 is provided with a diffusing area for achieving a draft-free air outlet.

[0157] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the air guide member 12 is movably disposed at the air outlet 111 to selectively open or close the air outlet 111. In this embodiment, the opening and closing of the air outlet 111 are achieved by the forward and backward movement of the air guide member 12. When the air guide member 12 closes the air outlet 111, the air guide member 12 is in a state of cooperating with the outer edge of the air outlet 111, and the outer edge of the air guide member 12 can abut, stagger, or be adjacent to the outer edge of the air outlet 111 to close or partially close the air outlet 111.

[0158] After the air guide member 12 moves forward or backward, a gap is formed between the outer edge of the air guide member 12 and the air outlet 111 to open the air outlet 111, enabling the air conditioner indoor unit 1 to blow air.

[0159] The air conditioner indoor unit 1 according to the present invention realizes the opening and closing of the air outlet 111 by controlling the forward and backward movement of the air guide member 12. The movement trajectory of the air guide member 12 is simple, making the opening and closing control of the air conditioner air outlet 111 more convenient. There is no need to set up a complex transmission structure, reducing the number of components of the air conditioner, lowering the cost of the air conditioner, and improving the stability of the air conditioner.

[0160] According to some embodiments of the present invention, a moving driving device 13 is provided in the air conditioner. In this embodiment, the moving driving device 13 is disposed on the housing 11, and the moving driving device 13 drives the air guide member 12 to move to control the air guide member 12 to open or close the air outlet 111.

[0161] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the moving driving device 13 is connected to the air guide member 12 and drives the air guide member 12 to open or close the air outlet 111; and when the air guide member 12 is in the state of opening the air outlet 111, it can further drive the air guide member 12 to move.

[0162] When the air guide member 12 is in the open state, that is, after the air guide member 12 has completed the forward and backward movement, the moving driving device 13 can further drive the air guide member 12 to move between a first position and a second position.

[0163] When the moving driving device 13 drives the air guide member 12 to move to the first position, the air guide member 12 cooperates with the first side of the air outlet 111 to guide the air toward the second side of the air outlet 111; when the moving driving device 13 drives the air guide member 12 to move to the second position, the air guide member 12 cooperates with the second side of the air outlet 111 to guide the air toward the first side of the air outlet 111.

[0164] It should be noted here that the first side and the second side of the air outlet 111 may refer to the two sides of the air outlet 111 in the width direction. After the air guiding member 12 moves to the first position, the cooperation between the air guiding member 12 and the first side of the air outlet 111 may be overlapping, staggered or abutting, but is not limited to the above cooperation methods. The purpose of the cooperation between the air guiding member 12 and one side of the air outlet 111 is to limit the air flow from blowing out between the air guiding member 12 and the first side of the air outlet 111. At this time, there is a large gap between the air guiding member 12 and the second side of the air outlet 111. Most of the air flow can be led out through the gap between the air guiding member 12 and the air outlet 111. At this time, the air flow rate is large, which avoids directly blowing towards the user from the air outlet 111. At this time, the air flow will bypass the user to play a role in preventing cold air from directly blowing, and at the same time, there is no air diffuser or the like blocking the air flow, the air flow rate is large, and the air volume is sufficient.

[0165] After the air guiding member 12 moves to the second position, the cooperation between the air guiding member 12 and the second side of the air outlet 111 may be overlapping, staggered or abutting, but is not limited to the above cooperation methods. The purpose of the cooperation between the air guiding member 12 and the second side of the air outlet 111 is to limit the air flow from blowing out between the air guiding member 12 and the second side of the air outlet 111. At this time, there is a large gap between the air guiding member 12 and the first side of the air outlet 111. Most of the air flow can be led out through the gap between the air guiding member 12 and the air outlet 111. At this time, the air flow rate is large, which avoids directly blowing towards the user from the air outlet 111. At this time, the air flow will bypass the user to play a role in preventing cold air from directly blowing, and at the same time, there is no air diffuser or the like blocking the air flow, the air flow rate is large, and the air volume is sufficient.

[0166] The air guiding member 12 can also move between the first position and the second position. Air outlet channels are defined between the air guiding member 12 and the first side of the air outlet 111, and between the air guiding member 12 and the second side of the air outlet 111, so that the air flow can blow out through both sides. Since the air guiding member 12 is located in the middle of the air outlet 111, it avoids the air flow from directly blowing on the user, playing a role in preventing cold air from directly blowing. At the same time, the air flow blown out through the air outlet channels on both sides forms an effect of surrounding air flow, which can quickly and evenly reduce the indoor air temperature, and can also quickly cool down the wall, solving the problem of the hot stove effect in the hot summer.

[0167] According to the air conditioner indoor unit 1 of the present invention, by setting the air guiding member 12 to move between the first position and the second position, on the one hand, it avoids the direct blowing of the air outlet 111 on the user, and at the same time ensures the air volume of the indoor air, improves the air outlet condition of the air conditioner indoor unit 1 for the user, improves the user experience, and enhances the cooling effect of the air conditioner indoor unit 1.

[0168] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the air guiding members 12 are configured in multiple numbers, and the multiple air guiding members 12 can move synchronously after combination, and air flow cannot flow between two adjacent air guiding members 12. The multiple air guiding members 12 move between a first position, a second position, and between the first position and the second position to change the air outlet direction and the air outlet mode.

[0169] In addition, the multiple air guiding members 12 can be selectively moved away from each other to define an air outlet channel between two adjacent air guiding members 12. Air flow can pass between two adjacent air guiding members 12 so that the air conditioner indoor unit 1 can perform front air outlet. When the multiple air guiding members 12 are located between the first position and the second position, a first air outlet channel is formed between the air guiding member 12 adjacent to the first side of the air outlet 111 and the first side of the air outlet 111, a second air outlet channel is formed between the air guiding member 12 adjacent to the second side of the air outlet 111 and the second side of the air outlet 111, and a third air outlet channel is formed between two adjacent air guiding members 12. The multiple air outlet channels can guide the air flow. The third air outlet channel faces the user directly, but the air volume is small and the air feeling of the air outlet is weak, and the user experience is good. At the same time, the first air outlet channel and the second air outlet channel form an air flow surrounding the indoor space to form a circulating air flow, so as to improve the cooling effect on the indoor.

[0170] By configuring the air guiding members 12 in multiple numbers, the air outlet modes of the air conditioner indoor unit 1 are enriched, the selection space of the user is further improved, the air conditioner indoor unit 1 can better meet the use needs of the user, and the user experience is improved.

[0171] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the air conditioner indoor unit 1 is further provided with a switch door 15. The switch door 15 is arranged on the outer surface of the air guiding member 12 and moves synchronously with the air guiding member 12. The switch door 15 is adapted to cooperate with the housing 11 when the air guiding member 12 closes the air outlet 111 so that the front surface of the switch door 15 forms the appearance surface of the housing 11. In this embodiment, the switch door 15 of the air conditioner indoor unit 1 is cancelled, or it can be understood that the switch door 15 and the air guiding member 12 are constructed as an integral structure.

[0172] The air guiding member 12 is provided with a guiding surface 121. The guiding surface 121 can be configured in two numbers and each guiding surface 121 is configured as an arc surface. The two arc surfaces are symmetrically arranged on the inner side of the air guiding member 12, and both guiding surfaces 121 protrude towards the outside, so that the air guiding member 12 is configured as a wedge-shaped structure.

[0173] A switch door 15 is arranged on the front side of the air guiding member 12. The switch door 15 is arranged on the front surface of the air guiding member 12 and has a width greater than that of the air guiding member 12. The switch door 15 can be used for air guiding. The switch door 15 is configured as a long rectangular plate and arranged on the front side of the air guiding member 12, so that the surface of the switch door 15 facing the air outlet 111 can guide the air during the process that the air guiding member 12 moves to open the air outlet 111 and moves between the first position and the second position.

[0174] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the air guiding member 12 can move forward to form a gap between the switch door 15 and the casing 11 so as to be suitable for the air flow to flow out through the air outlet channel between the casing 11 and the rear surface of the switch door 15 after being discharged from the air outlet 111. On the one hand, the forward movement of the air guiding member 12 can be used to open the air outlet 111 so that the air flow at the air outlet 111 can flow out. On the other hand, the forward movement of the air guiding member 12 can be used to prevent the switch door 15 from colliding with the casing 11 during the movement from the first position to the second position, thereby improving the stability of the movement of the switch door 15.

[0175] According to some embodiments of the present invention, air guiding edges 155 can be formed on both sides of the switch door 15. The air guiding edges 155 are configured to be curved toward the side of the air outlet 111 or away from the side of the air outlet 111. The air guiding edges 155 located on both sides of the switch door 15 can be further used to guide the air flow, so that the air flow flows to both sides of the switch door 15 under the guidance of the air guiding member 12 and further flows away from the switch door 15 under the guidance of the air guiding edges 155, so as to form a surrounding air flow for the air conditioner.

[0176] When the air guiding edges 155 are curved toward the side of the air outlet 111, the air guiding edges 155 can be adjacent to the outer periphery of the casing 11. The air guiding edges 155 can be spliced or staggered with the casing 11 so that the outer casing forms a complete appearance surface. The bending radian of the air guiding edges 155 can be the same as the bending radian of the outer peripheral surface of the casing 11 to further improve the flatness of the appearance surface of the air conditioner indoor unit 1 in the shutdown state.

[0177] As Figures 31 - 34 shown, according to some embodiments of the present invention, an avoidance space 112 is provided in the casing 11. When the air guiding member 12 opens the air outlet 111, at least a part of the air guiding member 12 is received in the avoidance space 112. In this embodiment, when the air guiding member 12 is in the state of closing the air outlet 111, the edge of the air guiding member 12 is spliced or adjacent to the edge of the air outlet 111 to close the air outlet 111. When the air guiding member 12 opens the air outlet 111, the air guiding member 12 moves backward so that the air guiding member 12 retracts into the air outlet 111, and an air outlet duct is formed between the air guiding member 12 and the two side edges of the air outlet 111.

[0178] The avoidance space 112 provided within the housing 11 can be located on both sides of the air outlet 111. When the air guide member 12 is in the first position, the air guide member 12 enters the avoidance space 112 located on the first side of the air outlet 111, so as to form an air outlet passage between the air guide member 12 and the second side of the air outlet 111, enabling the air guide member 12 to discharge air. When the air guide member 12 is in the second position, the air guide member 12 enters the avoidance space 112 located on the second side of the air outlet 111, so as to form an air outlet passage between the air guide member 12 and the first side of the air outlet 111, enabling the air guide member 12 to discharge air.

[0179] According to some embodiments of the present invention, avoidance spaces 112 are provided on both sides of the air outlet 111, and a movable wind deflector 114 is correspondingly provided for each avoidance space 112. The wind deflector 114 has an avoidance state and a wind blocking state. In the avoidance state, the wind deflector 114 opens the avoidance space 112 to enable the air guide member 12 to extend therein. In the wind blocking state, the wind deflector 114 blocks the avoidance space 112 to serve as a part of the air flow channel.

[0180] In this embodiment, the wind deflector 114 can be used to close the avoidance space 112 to prevent the occurrence of air pocketing phenomenon when the avoidance space 112 is in the open state. The wind deflector 114 can serve as a part of the air outlet duct to guide the air flow, making the air flow more smooth and reducing the generation of noise.

[0181] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the air conditioner indoor unit 1 includes a housing 11 and a duct component 113. The front surface of the housing 11 is provided with an air outlet 111; the duct component 113 is provided within the housing 11, and an air outlet duct extending towards the air outlet 111 is provided within the duct component 113. An avoidance space 112 is provided on the front side of the duct component 113, and the avoidance space 112 is provided on at least one side of the air outlet 111; the air guide member 12 is movably provided at the air outlet 111 to change the air outlet direction, and a movement driving device 13 is provided within the housing 11. The movement driving device 13 is connected to the air guide member 12 to drive the air guide member 12 to move. The air conditioner indoor unit has a shutdown state and a first air outlet state. In the shutdown state, the air guide member 12 is located at the air outlet 111 and the air guide member 12 cooperates with the housing 11 to close the air outlet 111; in the first air outlet state, the air guide member 12 moves to make at least a part of the air guide member 12 extend into the avoidance space 112.

[0182] According to the air conditioner indoor unit 1 of the present invention, an avoidance space 112 is provided in the air duct component 113 to facilitate the accommodation of the air deflector 12, so that the air deflector 12 opens the air outlet 111 after moving into the air duct component 113. This opening method of the air outlet 111 enables the air deflector 12 not to expand outwards, reducing the space required for the air conditioner indoor unit to perform the opening or closing action. When guiding the air flow, the air deflector 12 is accommodated in the avoidance space 112, improving the aesthetic appearance of the air conditioner indoor unit 1.

[0183] According to some embodiments of the present invention, avoidance spaces 112 are provided on both sides of the air outlet 111, and a movable wind deflector 114 is correspondingly provided for each avoidance space 112. The wind deflector 114 has an avoidance state and a wind blocking state. In the avoidance state, the wind deflector 114 opens the avoidance space 112 to enable the air deflector 12 to extend in. In the wind blocking state, the wind deflector 114 blocks the avoidance space 112 to serve as a part of the air flow channel; the first air outlet state includes a single-side air outlet mode. In the single-side air outlet mode, at least a part of the air deflector 12 extends into one of the avoidance spaces 112 and the wind blocking member of the other avoidance space 112 is in the wind blocking state.

[0184] By providing the wind deflector 114 structure, it is possible to effectively prevent the air flow at the air outlet 111 from entering the avoidance space 112, reduce the blocking effect of the avoidance space 112 on the air flow, and make the air circulation of the air conditioner indoor unit 1 smoother.

[0185] According to some embodiments of the present invention, there are two air deflectors 12. The first air outlet state includes an intermediate air outlet mode. In the intermediate air outlet mode, both wind deflectors 114 are in the avoidance state and at least a part of the two air deflectors 12 extends into the avoidance space 112.

[0186] When the air deflectors 12 are in the intermediate air outlet mode, the two air deflectors 12 move away from each other and enter the avoidance spaces 112 on both sides of the air outlet 111. The distance between the two air deflectors 12 can be adjusted, and the size of the intermediate air outlet 111 is adjusted by controlling the distance between the two air deflectors 12.

[0187] After the two air deflectors 12 are spaced apart from each other, at least a part of each air deflector 12 can be accommodated in the corresponding avoidance space 112. The air deflector 12 can be partially accommodated in the avoidance space 112 or fully accommodated in the avoidance space 112.

[0188] As Figures 31 - 34As shown, according to some embodiments of the present invention, when the air conditioner indoor unit is turned on, the moving driving device 13 is configured to first drive the air guiding member 12 to move backward and then drive the air guiding member 12 to move left and right, and switch the air conditioner to the first air outlet state. The moving driving device 13 first drives the air guiding member 12 to move back and forth to open the air outlet 111, so as to form an air outlet channel between the air guiding member 12 and the air outlet 111, and then controls the air guiding member 12 to move left and right to adjust the air outlet direction by using the air guiding member 12 in the first air outlet state.

[0189] As Figure 26 As shown, according to some embodiments of the present invention, the moving driving device 13 includes a front-back pushing device 135 and a left-right swinging device 136.
