Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of air conditioning technology, in particular to a guide air component and an air conditioner indoor unit. BACKGROUND

[0002] The cabinet type air conditioner indoor unit realizes left, right and front air supply modes through rotation of the vertical louver. When air is supplied to the left or right, the rotation range of the vertical louver is limited, which limits the air supply angle, and thus the air supply range is small, which cannot meet the air supply experience requirement of the user for ultra-wide angle air supply. SUMMARY

[0003] In view of the above problems, the present application is proposed to provide a guide air component and an air conditioner indoor unit capable of ultra-wide angle air supply, which overcomes the above problems or at least partially solves the above problems, has a large air supply angle, expands the air supply range, and provides user satisfaction.

[0004] Specifically, the present application provides a guide air component, comprising:

[0005] a first guide air plate; and

[0006] a plurality of second guide air plates, which are stacked on the inner side of the first guide air plate; the width of the second guide air plate is smaller than the width of the first guide air plate;

[0007] The second guide air plate and the first guide air plate have a linkage device, which is configured to expand the plurality of second guide air plates in a direction away from the first guide air plate, so as to form an air outlet gap between at least each adjacent two second guide air plates.

[0008] Optionally, a air supply hole is formed on the first guide air plate, so that the airflow on the inner side of the first guide air plate flows out through the air supply hole.

[0009] Optionally, the plurality of second guide air plates are arranged on the inner side of one end of the first guide air plate, and when the plurality of second guide air plates are expanded, the plurality of second guide air plates and the first guide air plate are arranged in a radial manner.

[0010] The second guide air plate is located at one end of the first guide air plate away from the rotation axis of the first guide air plate.

[0011] Optionally, the linkage device uniformly expands the plurality of second guide air plates, so that the included angle between each adjacent two second guide air plates is equal when the plurality of second guide air plates are in the same expanded position.

[0012] The included angle between every two adjacent second air deflectors at one expanded position is different from the included angle between every two adjacent second air deflectors at another expanded position.

[0013] Optionally, the linkage device comprises a plurality of rotating rods, one end of each of the rotating rods rotates around the same position, and the other end of each of the rotating rods is connected with one of the second air deflectors.

[0014] Optionally, the ratio between the width of the second air deflector and the width of the first air deflector is 0.2 to 0.3.

[0015] The application further provides an air conditioner indoor unit, comprising:

[0016] a housing, a front side of the housing is provided with an air outlet; and

[0017] any one of the air deflection assemblies, the first air deflector is installed at the air outlet, and at least the inner side of the first air deflector is used to guide the airflow flowing out of the air outlet.

[0018] Optionally, the first air deflector is rotatably arranged at the air outlet position of the housing, and the first air deflector is used to open and close the air outlet.

[0019] Optionally, the air outlet and the air deflection assembly are both two, the two air outlets are arranged along the transverse direction, and the inner side of each first air deflector guides the airflow flowing out of the corresponding air outlet to a direction away from the other air outlet.

[0020] Optionally, two air ducts are formed in the housing and are arranged at intervals, each air duct is in communication with one air outlet, and the two air ducts are both heat exchange air ducts or one of the air ducts is a heat exchange air duct.

[0021] In the air deflection assembly, a plurality of second air deflectors are arranged at the inner side of the first air deflector, the first air deflector is relatively large, the plurality of second air deflectors can be expanded in a direction away from the first air deflector, and the included angle between adjacent second air deflectors forms an air outlet gap, so that the airflow can flow out of the air outlet gap along the inner side of the first air deflector, that is, the airflow can flow out of the side of the relatively large first air deflector, thus the air deflection assembly has a large air supply range and can realize super-wide-angle air supply, and the user's satisfaction is improved, and the second air deflector can further guide the air outlet and improve the air supply effect.

[0022] Further, the air conditioner indoor unit of the present application also has multiple air outlet modes through the specific air outlet structure design of the air guide assembly. When the first air deflector closes the air outlet, the airflow is scattered by the air supply holes on the first air deflector when it flows to the position of the first air deflector, forming a low-speed soft wind, which can provide a soft and comfortable air supply experience for the user. At the same time, in the off state, the first air deflector closes the air outlet, so that the second air deflector is tightly attached to the first air deflector after being stacked, and the entire air conditioner front panel is a complete plane, reducing the floor area. When the first air deflector rotates a small amplitude, the airflow flows out in a direction almost perpendicular to the air outlet, and the airflow is transported to the left and right directions through the two air outlets, which can realize the function of ultra-wide angle air supply to improve user satisfaction. When the first air deflector rotates a large amplitude, the second air deflector is unfolded at a large angle, and the air supply area is large, which can realize large-angle and large-area wide-area air supply, suitable for application scenarios with many people in the family.

[0023] Further, since two spaced apart air ducts are formed in the shell, each air duct is in communication with an air outlet. Due to the independent arrangement of the two spaced apart air ducts, the two air outlets do not interfere with each other, and in actual application, the first air deflector at the two air outlets can rotate the same or different angles as needed to achieve better air outlet effect and improve user satisfaction.

[0034] Figure 1is a schematic sectional view of the second guide vane being retracted in the air conditioner indoor unit according to an embodiment of the present application, as shown in Figure 1 , Figures 2 to 4 The present application provides a guide vane assembly, comprising a first guide vane 100 and a plurality of second guide vanes 200. The plurality of second guide vanes 200 are arranged in layers on the inner side of the first guide vane 100. The width of the second guide vanes 200 is smaller than the width of the first guide vane 100. The second guide vanes 200 and the first guide vane 100 have a linkage device. The linkage device is configured to expand the plurality of second guide vanes 200 in a direction away from the first guide vane 100 to form at least an air outlet gap 300 between each adjacent two second guide vanes 200. Specifically, the innermost second guide vane 200 can be fixedly connected with the first guide vane 100, of course, the innermost second guide vane 200 can also be spaced apart from the first guide vane 100 after expansion to form the air outlet gap 300.

[0035] In this embodiment, since the plurality of second guide vanes 200 arranged in layers are arranged on the inner side of the first guide vane 100, the first guide vane is relatively large, the plurality of second guide vanes 200 can be expanded in a direction away from the first guide vane 100, and the air outlet gap 300 is formed between adjacent second guide vanes 200, so that the airflow can flow out from the air outlet gap 300 on the inner side of the first guide vane 100, that is, the airflow can flow out from the side of the larger first guide vane 100, thus making the guide vane assembly have a larger air supply range, and being able to realize ultra-wide angle air supply, and improving the user's satisfaction. The second guide vanes 200 can further guide the air outlet, and improve the air supply effect

[0036] In some embodiments of the present application, air supply holes 110 are formed on the first guide vane 100 to allow the airflow on the inner side of the first guide vane 100 to flow out through the air supply holes 110. The air supply holes 110 are long strip-shaped slit holes or circular micro-holes. In this way, when the airflow flows to the position of the first guide vane 100 when the second guide vanes 200 are not expanded, the airflow flows out through the air supply holes 110. Since the air supply holes 110 are narrow slits, the airflow is dispersed when passing through the air supply holes 110, and is delivered outward after being pressurized and slowed down, which can provide a soft and comfortable air supply experience for the user.

[0037] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figure 2 , Figure 3 The plurality of second guide vanes 200 are arranged on the inner side of one end of the first guide vane 100, and the plurality of second guide vanes 200 and the first guide vane 100 are arranged in a radial manner when the plurality of second guide vanes 200 are expanded. The second guide vanes 200 are located at the end of the first guide vane 100 away from the rotation axis of the first guide vane 100.

[0038] In the embodiment, the second air deflector 200 is located at the end of the first air deflector 100 away from the rotation axis of the first air deflector 100, and when the plurality of second air deflectors 200 are unfolded, the plurality of second air deflectors 200 and the first air deflector 100 are arranged radially, so that the unfolding and folding of the second air deflector 200 and the first air deflector 100 are similar to the bellows of an accordion. In this way, when the first air deflector 100 rotates only a small angle, the air flow flows out from one side of the air deflector, realizing the function of ultra-wide angle air supply.

[0039] Specifically, the linkage device causes the plurality of second air deflectors 200 to unfold uniformly. Specifically, when the plurality of second air deflectors 200 are at the same unfolded position, the included angle between each adjacent two second air deflectors 200 is equal; and when the plurality of second air deflectors 200 are at different unfolded positions, the included angle between each adjacent two second air deflectors 200 at one unfolded position is not equal to the included angle between each adjacent two second air deflectors 200 at another unfolded position.

[0040] In the embodiment, when the plurality of second air deflectors 200 are unfolded, the plurality of second air deflectors 200 and the first air deflector 100 are arranged at equal intervals, that is, unfolded uniformly, so that the air flow can uniformly flow out between adjacent second air deflectors 200 and between the second air deflector 200 and the first air deflector 100, avoiding uneven air outlet. At the same time, the included angle between each adjacent two second air deflectors 200 at one unfolded position is not equal to the included angle between each adjacent two second air deflectors 200 at another unfolded position, that is, the plurality of second air deflectors 200 rotate with the rotation of the first plate, and always keep the plurality of second air deflectors 200 and the first air deflector 100 arranged at equal intervals.

[0041] In some embodiments of the present application, the linkage device includes a plurality of rotating rods, one end of the plurality of rotating rods rotates around the same position, and the other end of each rotating rod is connected with the second air deflector 200. Since the plurality of rotating rods connected with the second air deflectors 200 are arranged around the same position, the plurality of second air deflectors 200 have the same rotation axis, which facilitates the control of the rotation of the second air deflectors 200. Further, the rotation axis of the second air deflector 200 is the same as that of the first air deflector 100, so as to facilitate the unfolding of the first air deflector 100 and the plurality of second air deflectors 200.

[0042] In some embodiments of the present application, the ratio between the width of the second air deflector 200 and the width of the first air deflector 100 is 0.2 to 0.3. In this way, the second air deflector 200 is located only at the end of the end of the first air deflector 100, and forms an air outlet gap 300, avoiding that due to the second air deflector 200 being too long, the inlet of the air outlet gap 300 is too narrow after extending to the rotation axis direction, interfering with the air flow.

[0043] The application also provides an air conditioner indoor unit, as shown in the drawings. Figure 4 The shell 400 is provided with an air outlet 410 at the front side, and the first air deflector 100 is installed at the air outlet 410, and at least the inner side of the first air deflector 100 is used to guide the airflow flowing out of the air outlet 410. In this way, under the guidance of the first air deflector 100, the airflow flowing through the air outlet 410 flows along the inner side of the first air deflector 100 and flows out of the air outlet gap 300 on one side of the first air deflector 100, so that the air conditioner indoor unit has a larger air supply range and can realize ultra-wide-angle air supply, thereby improving the user's satisfaction.

[0044] In some embodiments of the application, the first air deflector 100 is rotatably arranged at the position of the air outlet 410 of the shell 400, and the first air deflector 100 is used to open and close the air outlet 410. The air outlet 410 and the air deflector assembly are both two, and the inner side of each first air deflector 100 guides the airflow flowing out of the corresponding air outlet 410 to a direction away from the other air outlet 410.

[0045] Generally, when the air conditioner indoor unit is running, the fan is turned on to make the air enter from the air inlet and blow out from the air outlet 410, the air deflector assembly is used to open or close the air outlet 410, and when the air outlet 410 is opened, the air outlet direction changes with the rotation angle of the air deflector assembly. In the embodiments of the application, the air conditioner indoor unit has the following multiple air outlet modes through the specific air outlet structure design of the air deflector assembly.

[0046] Specifically, as shown in the drawings, Figure 1 The arrows in the drawings represent the airflow direction. When the first air deflector 100 closes the air outlet 410, the airflow flows to the position of the first air deflector 100 and flows out through the air supply hole 110 on the first air deflector 100. When the airflow passes through the air supply hole 110, it is scattered by the narrow air supply hole 110 to form a low-speed soft wind, which can provide a soft and comfortable air supply experience for the user. At the same time, in the off state, the first air deflector 100 closes the air outlet 410, so that the second air deflector 200 is stacked and closely attached to the first air deflector 100, and the entire air conditioner front panel forms a complete plane, thereby reducing the floor area. As shown in the drawings, Figure 2 The arrows in the drawings represent the airflow direction. When the first air deflector 100 rotates a small amplitude, for example, the first air deflector 100 rotates 30°, at this time the airflow flows out in a direction almost perpendicular to the air outlet 410 (the included angle between the air outlet 410 is 60° to 90°), and the airflow is transported to the left and right directions through the two air outlets 410, which can realize the function of ultra-wide-angle air supply to improve the user's satisfaction. As shown in the drawings, Figure 3As shown, the arrows in the figure are the air flow directions, and when the first air deflector 100 rotates a large amplitude, such as 40° to 50°, the second air deflector 200 expands at a large angle, the air supply area is large, and wide-angle, large-area wide-range air supply can be achieved, which is suitable for application scenarios with many people in a family.

[0047] In some embodiments of the present application, two spaced apart air ducts 500 are formed in the shell 400, and each air duct 500 is in communication with an air outlet 410. Since the two spaced apart air ducts 500 are independently arranged, the two air outlets 410 do not interfere with each other, and in actual application, the first air deflector 100 at the two air outlets 410 can be rotated at the same or different angles as needed to achieve better air supply effect and improve user satisfaction.

[0048] Specifically, a vertically extending volute body 600 is installed in the shell 400, the left and right sides of the volute body 600 form the air duct walls of the air ducts 500, and the front end of the volute body 600 separates the two air outlets 410 to achieve the mutual non-interference of the two air ducts 500 and the two air outlets 410 in communication with the air ducts 500. The two air ducts 500 can be heat exchange air ducts, and the heat exchanger is one, which is arranged at the common air inlet of the two air ducts 500. In other embodiments of the present application, one of the air ducts 500 is a heat exchange air duct, and the other air duct 500 can be a non-heat exchange air duct.

[0049] At this point, those skilled in the art should recognize that although the present application has been shown and described in detail in the above embodiments, many other variations or modifications can be directly determined or deduced according to the disclosure of the present application without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application. Therefore, the scope of the present application should be understood and recognized as covering all these other variations or modifications.
