[0076] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein 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 accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0077] First, refer to Figures 1-40 A brief description is given of an air conditioner indoor unit 100 according to a second aspect embodiment of the present invention, the air conditioner indoor unit 100 including a partition assembly 10 according to a first aspect embodiment of the present invention.

[0078] An indoor air conditioning unit 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a housing 20, a volute 30, and a partition assembly 10 according to a first aspect of the present invention.

[0079] Specifically, the housing 20 has an air inlet 207, and the volute 30 is disposed inside the housing 20. An air inlet area 206 is defined between the volute 30 and the air inlet 207. A first air duct 301 and a second air duct 302 are formed in the volute 30 at intervals. The partition assembly 10 is connected to the volute 30 and is located on the side of the volute 30 facing the air inlet 207. The partition assembly 10 divides the air inlet area 206 into a first air inlet area and a second air inlet area. The first air inlet area is connected to the first air duct 301, and the second air inlet area is connected to the second air duct 302.

[0080] In other words, the air inlet 207 is formed on the housing 20, and a volute 30 is provided inside the housing 20. The air intake area 206 is formed between the volute 30 and the air inlet 207. A first air duct 301 and a second air duct 302 are formed inside the volute 30, and the first air duct 301 and the second air duct 302 are arranged at intervals. The partition assembly 10 is connected to the volute 30, and the partition assembly 10 is located on the side of the volute 30 facing the air inlet 207. The air intake area 206 is divided into a first air intake area and a second air intake area by the partition assembly 10. The first air duct 301 connects to the first air intake area, and the second air duct 302 connects to the second air intake area. Therefore, the structure of the air conditioner indoor unit 100 is simple and the design is ingenious.

[0081] like Figures 1-5As shown, an air inlet 207 is formed on the housing 20, and a volute 30 is located inside the housing 20. An air intake area 206 is formed between the volute 30 and the air inlet 207. A first air duct 301 and a second air duct 302 are formed inside the volute 30, and the first air duct 301 and the second air duct 302 are arranged at intervals in the left-right direction. A partition assembly 10 is connected to the rear side of the volute 30, and the partition assembly 10 divides the air intake area 206 into a first air intake area and a second air intake area arranged on the left and right sides. The first air duct 301 and the first air intake area are both located on the left side, and the second air duct 302 and the second air intake area are both located on the right side. The first air duct 301 and the first air intake area are connected, and the second air duct 302 and the second air intake area are connected. Since the partition assembly 10 is a light-transmitting component, the pulse lamp module 2 is movably disposed inside the partition assembly 10. The pulse lamp module 2 can disinfect microorganisms in the air intake area 206 and reduce production costs.

[0082] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the air conditioner indoor unit 100 optimizes the internal structure of the air conditioner indoor unit 100 by setting the partition assembly 10 of the first aspect embodiment of the present invention, reduces the installation difficulty and production cost of the air conditioner indoor unit 100, and the pulse light emitted by the pulse lamp can effectively disinfect microorganisms in the first air duct 301 and the second air duct 302, providing users with healthier, safer and fresher air.

[0083] The following is for reference. Figures 3-40 A partition assembly 10 for an indoor unit 100 of an air conditioner is described according to an embodiment of a first aspect of the present invention.

[0084] like Figure 6 As shown, the partition assembly 10 according to a first aspect embodiment of the present invention includes: an air duct partition 1 and a pulse lamp module 2.

[0085] Specifically, an air intake zone 206 is formed within the indoor unit 100 of the air conditioner. A baffle assembly 10 is disposed within the air intake zone 206. The baffle assembly 10 includes an air duct baffle 1 and a pulse lamp module 2. The pulse lamp module 2 is movably disposed on the air duct baffle 1 and is used to emit pulsed light for sterilization into the air intake zone 206. In other words, the air intake zone 206 is formed within the indoor unit 100 of the air conditioner, and the baffle assembly 10 is disposed within the air intake zone 206. The pulse lamp module 2 is disposed on the air duct baffle 1 and is movable relative to the air duct baffle 1. The pulse lamp module 2 is used to emit pulsed light for sterilization into the air intake zone 206. The pulsed light can maintain high energy, penetrate the air duct baffle 1, and irradiate the surface of microorganisms in the air intake zone 206 and the surface of surrounding parts, thereby disinfecting the air intake zone 206 and surrounding components.

[0086] Reference Figure 6As shown, the partition assembly 10 includes an air duct partition 1 and a pulse lamp module 2. The pulse lamp module 2 can move in the vertical direction relative to the air duct partition 1. The pulse lamp module 2 can emit high-energy pulse light. The high-energy pulse light can disinfect microorganisms in the air inlet area 206 and on the surface of surrounding components, thereby improving the quality of the air outlet of the air conditioner indoor unit 100.

[0087] According to the embodiment of the present invention, the partition assembly 10 has a movable pulse lamp module 2 installed on the air duct partition 1. The pulse lamp module 2 emits pulse light into the air intake zone 206 to disinfect microorganisms in the air intake zone 206. The pulse light has high energy and can kill microorganisms, providing users with healthier, safer and fresher air. The movable pulse lamp module 2 reduces the number of pulse lamps required, reducing production costs while ensuring sterilization effect. The overall structure is simple and easy to assemble.

[0088] In some embodiments of the present invention, the partition assembly 10 further includes a driving member 3 and a transmission mechanism 4, wherein the driving member 3 is connected to the pulse lamp module 2 via the transmission mechanism 4, and is used to drive the pulse lamp module 2 to move. Figure 9 As shown, the driving component 3 is connected to the transmission mechanism 4. The driving component 3 drives the transmission mechanism 4, and the transmission mechanism 4 drives the pulse lamp module 2 to move. Therefore, the way the driving component 3 drives the pulse lamp module 2 to move is simple, easy to maintain, and has low production cost and high assembly efficiency.

[0089] Preferably, the driving component 3 is a drive motor.

[0090] In some embodiments of the present invention, the transmission mechanism 4 includes: a winding wheel 41, a driving member 3 connected to the winding wheel 41 for driving the winding wheel 41 to rotate; and a pulling member 42, one end of which is wound around the winding wheel 41, and the other end of which is connected to the pulse lamp module 2. Figure 9 As shown, the driving component 3 is connected to the winding wheel 41. The driving component 3 drives the winding wheel 41 to rotate, and the rotation of the winding wheel 41 drives the pulling component 42. The lower end of the pulling component 42 is wound around the winding wheel 41, and the upper end of the pulling component 42 is connected to the pulse lamp module 2. Thus, the winding wheel 41 cooperates with the driving component 3, and one end of the pulling component 42 is wound around the winding wheel 41, which is convenient for use and storage. The transmission mechanism 4 has a simple structure and is easy to use.

[0091] Specifically, the pulling member 42 can be a pulling rope. The upper end of the pulling rope is connected to the end of the wire harness 24 of the pulse lamp module 2, and the lower end of the pulling rope is wound on the winding wheel 41. The driving member 3 is connected to the winding wheel 41 and drives the winding wheel 41 to rotate, thereby winding or releasing the pulling rope.

[0092] In some embodiments of the present invention, the transmission mechanism 4 further includes: a fixed pulley 43, which is arranged at intervals with the winding wheel 41, and the other end of the pulling member 42 passes over the fixed pulley 43 and is connected to the pulse lamp module 2. Figure 9 As shown, the fixed pulley 43 and the winding wheel 41 are respectively arranged at both ends of the guide rod 5. The fixed pulley 43 is located at the upper end of the guide rod 5, and the winding wheel 41 is located at the lower end of the guide rod 5. The upper end of the pulling member 42 passes over the fixed pulley 43 and is connected to the pulse lamp module 2. Thus, by setting the fixed pulley 43, the direction of the force is changed without changing the magnitude of the force, simplifying the structure of the transmission mechanism 4, reducing the maintenance difficulty of the transmission mechanism 4, and making the pulling rope slide smoothly.

[0093] In some embodiments of the present invention, the transmission mechanism 4 further includes: a storage box 44, a winding wheel 41 rotatably disposed within the storage box 44, the storage box 44 having a storage opening, and one end of the pulling member 42 passing through the storage opening and wound around the winding wheel 41. Figure 34 As shown, the upper part of the storage box 44 has a storage opening, and the lower end of the pull rope passes through the storage opening and is wound around the winding wheel 41. Therefore, the storage box 44 improves the internal structural regularity of the air conditioner indoor unit 100, prevents the pull rope from loosening and falling off the winding wheel 41, and thus reduces the occurrence of malfunctions.

[0094] In other embodiments of the present invention, the transmission mechanism 4 includes a drive wheel, a driven wheel, and a transmission belt. A drive member 3 is connected to the drive wheel, and the transmission belt is tensioned between the drive wheel and the driven wheel. The pulse lamp module 2 is fixedly connected to the transmission belt. That is, the drive member 3 is connected to the drive wheel, and the drive member 3 drives the drive wheel to rotate. The drive wheel drives the transmission belt to rotate, thereby driving the driven wheel to rotate, and the pulse lamp module 2 on the transmission belt also moves accordingly. Therefore, the transmission mechanism 4 uses a belt drive transmission method, which is simple and easy to assemble and maintain.

[0095] In some embodiments of the present invention, the transmission mechanism 4 includes a lead screw and a nut sleeved on the lead screw, a driving member 3 connected to the lead screw, and a nut fixedly connected to the pulse lamp module 2. That is, the driving member 3 is connected to the lead screw, and the driving member 3 drives the lead screw to rotate. The rotational motion of the lead screw and the nut is converted into the linear motion of the pulse lamp module 2. This achieves the up-and-down movement of the pulse lamp module 2, and the transmission structure is simple, reducing the failure rate and improving the stability of the transmission mechanism 4.

[0096] In some embodiments of the present invention, the transmission mechanism 4 includes a rack and a gear. The rack extends along the moving direction of the pulse lamp module 2, the gear is connected to the pulse lamp module 2, and a driving member 3 is disposed on the pulse lamp module 2. The driving member 3 drives the gear to rotate, thereby moving the pulse lamp module 2 in the vertical direction. Thus, the gear and rack transmission structure is simple and easy to assemble and maintain.

[0097] In some embodiments of the present invention, the partition assembly 10 further includes a guide rod 5, which extends along the moving direction of the pulse lamp module 2. The pulse lamp module 2 is provided with a guide groove 23, and the guide rod 5 is movably inserted into the guide groove 23. That is, the guide rod 5 extends in the vertical direction, the pulse lamp module 2 has a guide groove 23, the guide rod 5 is inserted into the guide groove 23, and the guide rod 5 is movable within the guide groove 23. Thus, the guide rod 5 provides guidance for the moving direction of the pulse lamp module 2, further improving the stability of the transmission mechanism 4 and preventing the partition assembly 10 from malfunctioning.

[0098] Specifically, the guide rod 5 is fixed to the air duct partition 1 by a fixed seat.

[0099] In some embodiments of the present invention, the pulse lamp module 2 includes: a lamp body 21 and a sliding seat 22, the lamp body 21 being fixedly connected to the sliding seat 22, and a guide groove 23 being formed on the sliding seat 22. For example... Figure 29 As shown, both the lamp body 21 and the sliding seat 22 have fixing holes. The fixing holes on the lamp body 21 and the fixing holes on the sliding seat 22 are correspondingly arranged. The lamp body 21 and the sliding seat 22 are fixedly connected by fasteners passing through the fixing holes. A guide groove 23 is formed on the sliding seat 22. Thus, fixing the lamp body 21 to the sliding seat 22 with fasteners simplifies the structure of the pulse lamp module 2, thereby improving the assembly efficiency of the partition assembly 10, and reducing production costs while facilitating maintenance.

[0100] In some embodiments of the present invention, the duct partition 1 includes: a first plate 11 and a second plate 12, both the first plate 11 and the second plate 12 extending vertically, the first plate 11 and the second plate 12 arranged at an angle to define an installation space, and the pulse lamp module 2 is movably disposed vertically within the installation space. Figures 21-27 As shown, the duct partition 1 includes a first plate 11 and a second plate 12. The first plate 11 extends vertically, and the second plate 12 also extends vertically. The first plate 11 and the second plate 12 are arranged at an angle, and an installation space is defined between the first plate 11 and the second plate 12. The pulse lamp module 2 is disposed within the installation space, and the pulse lamp module 2 can move vertically along the installation space. Thus, the pulse lamp module 2 is disposed within the duct partition 1, which protects the pulse lamp module 2. Furthermore, the placement of the pulse lamp module 2 within the installation space makes reasonable use of the space within the partition assembly 10, reducing the installation volume of the partition assembly 10, thereby reducing the volume of the air conditioning indoor unit 100.

[0101] In some embodiments of the present invention, the first plate 11 is formed as a light-transmitting element, and / or the second plate 12 is formed as a light-transmitting element. That is, the first plate 11 can be a light-transmitting element, the second plate 12 can be a light-transmitting element, or both the first plate 11 and the second plate 12 can be light-transmitting elements. Thus, the pulse light reflected by the pulse lamp module 2 can pass through the air duct partition 1 and irradiate the air inlet area 206 on the back of the air duct partition 1 and the surrounding components, thereby disinfecting microorganisms and further improving the sterilization effect of the partition assembly 10, resulting in a wider sterilization range.

[0102] In some embodiments of the present invention, a wire-holding groove 61 is provided on the side surface of the duct partition 1 facing away from the air inlet area 206, and a portion of the wiring harness 24 of the pulse lamp module 2 is fixed in the wire-holding groove 61 along its length. That is, a wire-holding groove 61 is formed on the front surface of the duct partition 1, and a portion of the wiring harness 24 of the pulse lamp module 2 is fixed within the wire-holding groove 61. This avoids tangling of the wiring harness 24 of the pulse lamp module 2, reduces the failure rate of the indoor air conditioning unit 100, and improves the neatness of the partition assembly 10.

[0103] In other embodiments, the partition assembly 10 includes a wire clip 6, which is fixed to the front surface of the air duct partition 1. A wire-holding groove 61 is formed on the side of the wire clip 6 facing the air duct partition 1, and the wire-holding groove 61 is used to fix a portion of the wire harness 24 of the pulse lamp module 2. Thus, the partition assembly 10 has a simple structure, and the wire clip 6 simplifies the structure of the air duct partition 1.

[0104] Here, the wiring harness 24 includes a negative input line 242, a positive input line 241, and a signal line 243.

[0105] In some embodiments of the present invention, the length of the wire harness 24 located between the wire slot 61 and the pulse lamp module 2 is not less than half of the maximum moving distance of the pulse lamp module 2. That is, the length of the wire harness 24 located between the wire slot 61 and the pulse lamp module 2 is greater than or equal to half of the maximum moving distance of the pulse lamp module 2. Thus, fixing a portion of the wire harness 24 can effectively prevent the wire harness 24 from becoming entangled with other components inside the air conditioner indoor unit 100, and does not affect the vertical movement of the pulse lamp module 2.

[0106] In some embodiments of the present invention, the partition assembly 10 further includes a controller 7, which is connected to the pulse lamp module 2 and the driver 3. The controller 7 controls the driver 3 to start when the pulse lamp module 2 is turned on. That is, the controller 7 is signal-connected to the pulse lamp module 2 and also signal-connected to the driver 3. When the pulse lamp module 2 starts emitting pulse light, the controller 7 controls the driver 3 to start. Thus, by setting the controller 7 connected to the pulse lamp module 2 and the driver 3, the sterilization efficiency of the pulse lamp module 2 is improved, and the sterilization effect of the pulse lamp module 2 is guaranteed.

[0107] The following will refer to Figures 1-40 A partition assembly 10 according to four specific embodiments of the present invention is described.

[0119] An indoor air conditioning unit 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a housing 20, a volute 30, and a partition assembly 10 according to a first aspect of the present invention.

[0120] Specifically, the housing 20 has an air inlet 207, and the volute 30 is disposed inside the housing 20. An air inlet area 206 is defined between the volute 30 and the air inlet 207. A first air duct 301 and a second air duct 302 are formed in the volute 30 at intervals. The partition assembly 10 is connected to the volute 30 and is located on the side of the volute 30 facing the air inlet 207.

The first air inlet area is connected to the first air duct 301, and the second air inlet area is connected to the second air duct 302.

[0121] In other words, the air inlet 207 is formed on the housing 20, and a volute 30 is provided inside the housing 20. The air intake area 206 is formed between the volute 30 and the air inlet 207. A first air duct 301 and a second air duct 302 are formed inside the volute 30, and the first air duct 301 and the second air duct 302 are arranged at intervals. The partition assembly 10 is connected to the volute 30, and the partition assembly 10 is located on the side of the volute 30 facing the air inlet 207. The air intake area 206 is divided into a first air intake area and a second air intake area by the partition assembly 10. The first air duct 301 connects to the first air intake area, and the second air duct 302 connects to the second air intake area. Therefore, the structure of the air conditioner indoor unit 100 is simple and the design is ingenious.

The first air duct 301 and the first air intake area are connected, and the second air duct 302 and the second air intake area are connected. Since the partition assembly 10 is a light-transmitting component, the pulse lamp module 2 is movably disposed inside the partition assembly 10. The pulse lamp module 2 can disinfect microorganisms in the air intake area 206 and reduce production costs.

[0123] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the air conditioner indoor unit 100 optimizes the internal structure of the air conditioner indoor unit 100 by setting the partition assembly 10 of the first aspect embodiment of the present invention, reduces the installation difficulty and production cost of the air conditioner indoor unit 100, and the pulse light emitted by the pulse lamp can effectively disinfect microorganisms in the first air duct 301 and the second air duct 302, providing users with healthier, safer and fresher air.

The evaporator 40 and the electric auxiliary heater 50 are both located on the rear side of the partition assembly 10, and the fan wheel 60 is located inside the volute 30. Since the air duct partition 1 is a light-transmitting component and the pulse lamp module moves up and down, the sterilization effect of the pulse lamp module is improved.
