[0002] Currently, air conditioners are commonly used household appliances, frequently used in summer and winter to improve the comfort of users' home environment. However, because the cold or hot air from the air conditioner is blown directly from the vent onto the user, it can cause the user to feel too cold or too hot, making them uncomfortable and affecting their user experience. Furthermore, prolonged exposure to such an environment, with the moving airflow blowing directly on the body, can cause discomfort, especially for the elderly and children with weaker constitutions, making them susceptible to "air conditioning sickness."
[0003] The related technology discloses an air conditioner indoor unit, including: a housing, in which a receiving cavity is formed, and an air outlet is provided on the housing; an air guide plate is disposed at the air outlet, and the air guide plate is provided with micropores.
[0004] In the process of implementing the embodiments of this disclosure, at least the following problems were found in the related art:
[0005] Related technologies utilize micropores to reduce the airflow speed through the micropores in order to soften the airflow. However, the direction of the airflow blown out of the micropores does not change; it still blows directly towards the user, making it difficult to achieve a soft, windless effect.
[0006] It should be noted that the information disclosed in the background section above is only used to enhance the understanding of the background of this application, and therefore may include information that does not constitute prior art known to those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention
[0007] To provide a basic understanding of some aspects of the disclosed embodiments, a brief summary is given below. This summary is not intended as a general commentary, nor is it intended to identify key / important components or describe the scope of protection of these embodiments, but rather as a prelude to the detailed description that follows.
[0008] This disclosure provides an air guiding mechanism and an indoor air conditioning unit to disturb the airflow, thereby achieving gentle or natural airflow and improving the comfort of the air conditioning indoor unit's windless airflow.
[0009] In some embodiments, the air guiding mechanism includes: an air guiding plate with a windward side; and a turbulence assembly disposed on the windward side, including a plurality of turbulence plates extending along the length direction of the air guiding plate, each turbulence plate being rotatable about an axis parallel to its own length direction and forming an angle with the air guiding plate to turbulent the airflow passing through the windward side.
[0010] In some embodiments, the windward side is provided with a U-shaped mounting groove arranged along the periphery of the air guide plate. The U-shaped mounting groove includes a first groove and a second groove that are interconnected. The first groove and the second groove are symmetrically arranged with respect to the central axis in the length direction of the air guide plate. The turbulence assembly further includes: a first magnet embedded in the first groove; and a second magnet embedded in the second groove and connected to the first magnet. The magnetic poles of the first magnet and the second magnet are different. Each turbulence plate is provided with a conductive post arranged along the extension direction of the side of the U-shaped mounting groove in the length direction. When a current in a first direction is passed through the conductive post, the turbulence plate is subjected to an upward magnetic force in the magnetic field generated by the first magnet and the second magnet, thereby driving the turbulence plate to rotate in a direction away from the air guide plate.
[0011] In some embodiments, the windward side is recessed to form a receiving groove for accommodating the spoiler, and each spoiler is correspondingly disposed in one receiving groove.
[0012] In some embodiments, a hinge shaft is provided flush with the edge of the spoiler, and the two ends of the hinge shaft are pivotally engaged with the inner sidewall of the receiving groove.
[0013] In some embodiments, the spoiler includes a first side end and a second side end arranged opposite to each other, the hinge shaft is disposed at the first side end and the conductive post is disposed at the second side end, or the hinge shaft is disposed at the second side end and the conductive post is disposed at the first side end.
[0014] In some embodiments, the spoiler further includes a first side and a second side arranged opposite to each other, wherein the first side and / or the second side is a wave surface; wherein, when the spoiler is placed in the receiving groove, both the first side and the second side are parallel to the windward side.
[0015] In some embodiments, when the spoiler is placed in the receiving groove, the first side faces the windward side and the height of the first side is lower than that of the windward side, or the first side is flush with the windward side.
[0016] In some embodiments, the air guiding mechanism further includes a first magnetic attractor and a second magnetic attractor that attract each other, with the first magnetic attractor provided on the first side and the second magnetic attractor provided on the bottom surface of the receiving groove.
[0017] In some embodiments, the surface of the air guide plate is provided with a bactericidal coating, and / or the surface of the baffle plate is provided with a bactericidal coating.
[0018] In some embodiments, the indoor unit of the air conditioner includes: a housing, the front end of which is provided with an air outlet; and an air guide mechanism as described above, wherein the air guide plate is rotatably disposed at the air outlet.
[0019] The air guiding mechanism and air conditioning indoor unit provided in this disclosure can achieve the following technical effects:
[0020] The air guiding mechanism is located at the air outlet of the indoor unit of the air conditioner and includes an air guide plate. A turbulence-inducing component is installed on the windward side of the air guide plate. This component includes multiple turbulence-inducing plates extending along the length of the air guide plate. Each turbulence-inducing plate can rotate about an axis parallel to its own length and form an angle with the air guide plate. This allows the turbulence-inducing plates to rotate and form an angle with the air guide plate. When the airflow passes through the windward side of the air guide plate, the direction of the airflow changes under the action of the turbulence-inducing plates. The airflow is dispersed by the turbulence, increasing its outlet area and making it easier for the air to diffuse into the room. This changes the airflow velocity and turbulence, creating a more comfortable, gentle breeze. This effectively prevents the air from blowing directly onto the user, making the user feel no wind, thus achieving a comfortable, windless airflow and improving user comfort.

[0046] Currently, air conditioners are commonly used household appliances, frequently used in summer and winter to improve the comfort of users' home environment. However, because the cold or hot air from the air conditioner is blown directly from the vent onto the user, it can cause the user to feel too cold or too hot, making them uncomfortable and affecting their user experience. Furthermore, prolonged exposure to such an environment, with the moving airflow blowing directly on the body, can cause discomfort, especially for the elderly and children with weaker constitutions, making them susceptible to "air conditioning sickness."
[0047] The related technology discloses an air conditioner indoor unit, including: a housing, in which a receiving cavity is formed, and an air outlet is provided on the housing; an air guide plate is disposed at the air outlet, and the air guide plate is provided with micropores.
[0048] Related technologies utilize micropores to reduce the airflow speed through the micropores in order to soften the airflow. However, the direction of the airflow blown out of the micropores does not change; it still blows directly towards the user, making it difficult to achieve a soft, windless effect.
[0049] Therefore, this disclosure provides an air guiding mechanism and an indoor air conditioning unit to disturb the airflow, thereby achieving gentle or natural airflow and improving the comfort of the air conditioning indoor unit's windless airflow.
[0050] Combination Figures 1 to 8 As shown, this embodiment of the present disclosure provides an air guiding mechanism, including an air guiding plate 100 and a turbulence component 200.
[0051] The air guide plate 100 includes the windward side 110.
[0052] The spoiler assembly 200 is disposed on the windward side 110 and includes a plurality of spoilers 210 extending along the length of the guide vane 100. Each spoiler 210 is rotatable about an axis parallel to its own length and forms an angle with the guide vane 100 to turbulent the airflow passing through the windward side 110.
[0053] Optionally, an air guide mechanism is located at the air outlet 11 of the housing 10 of the indoor unit of the air conditioner. The air guide plate 100 can be rotated in a controllable manner to open or close the air outlet 11. When the air outlet 11 is closed by the air guide plate 100, the side facing the interior of the housing 10 of the indoor unit is the windward side 110, and the side away from the interior of the housing 10 of the indoor unit is the leeward side. By rotating the air guide plate 100 to different angles, the air outlet 11 can be changed, causing the airflow to blow in different directions or areas.
[0054] Optionally, the spoiler 210 is rotatably disposed on the windward side 110 of the air guide plate 100, and is arranged at intervals along the length direction of the air guide plate 100. The spoiler 210 extends along the length direction of the air guide plate 100, and can rotate about an axis parallel to its own length direction, forming multiple working positions with different angles to the air guide plate 100 during rotation. Thus, by controlling the rotation of the spoiler 210 to form a certain angle with the air guide plate, the airflow passing through the windward side 110 can be turbulent. When the airflow passes the windward side 110, it will be disturbed by the spoiler 210. Part of the airflow will flow out along the gap between the connected spoilers 210, and part of the airflow will flow through the side of the spoiler 210 and along the extension angle of the spoiler 210. In this way, the airflow can be dispersed by the spoiler 210, increasing the air outlet area, so that the air outlet will not be concentrated and blown into the room and will be more easily diffused into the room. This changes the air outlet speed and turbulence, forming a more comfortable gentle breeze that is closer to the natural wind. Therefore, it can effectively prevent the wind from blowing directly on the user, so that the user feels no wind, thus achieving a comfortable windless air outlet and improving the user's comfort.
[0055] Optionally, the spoiler 210 can form multiple working positions with different angles between itself and the air guide plate 100 to control the gentleness of the airflow. The larger the angle between the spoiler 210 and the air guide plate 100, the gentler the airflow.
[0056] In addition, by rotating the spoiler 210 and forming a certain angle with the air guide plate 100 to disturb the airflow, it is possible to prevent the airflow from accumulating on the windward side 110 of the air guide plate, thereby reducing the generation of condensation on the air guide plate 100 in the cooling state.
[0057] Optionally, the deflector 200 is provided on the windward side 110, but not on the leeward side. This ensures the aesthetic appearance of the housing 10 when the air guide mechanism is installed at the air outlet 11.
[0058] The air guiding mechanism provided in this embodiment is installed at the air outlet 11 of the indoor unit of the air conditioner. It includes an air guide plate 100. A turbulence-disrupting component 200 is installed on the windward side 110 of the air guide plate 100. The turbulence-disrupting component 200 includes multiple turbulence-disrupting plates 210 extending along the length of the air guide plate 100. Each turbulence-disrupting plate 210 is rotatable about an axis parallel to its own length and forms an angle with the air guide plate 100. This allows the turbulence-disrupting plates 210 to rotate and form a certain angle with the air guide plate 100. When the airflow passes through the windward side 110 of the air guide plate 100, the direction of the airflow changes under the action of the turbulence-disrupting plates 210. The airflow is dispersed by the turbulence, increasing its outlet area and making it easier for the airflow to diffuse into the room. This changes the airflow speed and turbulence, creating a more comfortable, gentle breeze. This effectively prevents the wind from blowing directly onto the user, making the user feel no wind, thus achieving a comfortable, windless airflow and improving user comfort.
[0059] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the turbulence assembly 200 further includes a first magnet 220 and a second magnet 230.
[0060] The windward side 110 is provided with a U-shaped mounting groove 120 arranged along the periphery of the air guide plate 100. The U-shaped mounting groove 120 includes a first groove 121 and a second groove 122 that are interconnected. The first groove 121 and the second groove 122 are arranged symmetrically with respect to the central axis in the length direction of the air guide plate 100.
[0061] The first magnet 220 is embedded in the first slot 121. The second magnet 230 is embedded in the second slot 122 and connected to the first magnet 220. The first magnet 220 and the second magnet 230 have different magnetic poles.
[0062] Each spoiler 210 has a conductive post 211 arranged along the side extension direction of the length of the U-shaped mounting groove. When the conductive post 211 is filled with current in the first direction, the spoiler 210 is subjected to an upward magnetic force in the magnetic field generated by the first magnet 220 and the second magnet 230, so as to drive the spoiler 210 to rotate in a direction away from the air guide plate 100.
[0063] Optionally, the first magnet 220 is an N-level segment, and the second magnet 230 is an S-level segment. The magnetic field lines generated after the first magnet 220 and the second magnet 230 are connected flow from the N-level segment into the S-level segment. The length direction of the first groove 121 / the length direction of the second groove 122 is the side extension direction of the length direction of the U-shaped mounting groove.
[0064] Optionally, the extending direction of the conductive post 211 is the same as the extending direction of the side of the U-shaped mounting groove along its length. Combined with Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, when a current flows through the conductive post 211 in the first direction, an upward magnetic field is generated, which drives the spoiler 210 to rotate away from the windward side 110, forming an angle with the guide plate 100. This turbulence effect creates a more comfortable gentle breeze. Furthermore, the larger the current in the first direction, the stronger the generated electromagnetic force, and the larger the angle between the spoiler 210 and the guide plate 100. Therefore, the opening angle of the spoiler 210 can be controlled by controlling the current magnitude. Further, the maximum angle between the spoiler 210 and the guide plate 100 is 60°. Optionally, the spoiler 210 can be opened or closed by adjusting the current in the first and second directions. Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, when a current in the second direction flows through the conductive column 211, a downward magnetic field is generated, which can drive the baffle 210 to rotate towards the windward side 110 until the angle between it and the air guide plate 100 approaches zero degrees. At this time, the airflow flows through the windward side 110, which can ensure the normal cooling or heating mode of the air conditioner indoor unit. The current flows in opposite directions in the first and second directions, with the first direction defined as positive and the second direction as negative, and the direction of the magnetic field is determined according to the left-hand rule. Optionally, the conductive column 211 includes a first end 2111 and a second end 2112 arranged opposite to each other. The current in the first direction flows from the first end 2111 to the second end 2112, and the current in the second direction flows from the second end 2112 to the first end 2111.
[0065] Furthermore, by controlling the rotation of the spoiler 210, the airflow of the indoor unit can be diversified, making the airflow mode of the indoor unit more flexible.
[0066] Optionally, the conductive post 211 is columnar and embedded inside the spoiler 210.
[0067] Optionally, the windward side 110 of the air guide plate 100 can rotate towards the top of the air conditioner indoor unit, thus turbulenting the air outlet at the front and top of the air conditioner indoor unit; or, the windward side 110 of the air guide plate 100 can rotate towards the bottom of the air conditioner indoor unit, thus turbulenting the air outlet at the front and bottom of the air conditioner indoor unit.
[0068] Optionally, the multiple spoilers 210 are divided into a first group of spoilers and a second group of guide vanes. The first group of spoilers is located on a straight line, and the second group of spoilers is located on a straight line. The first group of spoilers and the second group of spoilers are arranged at intervals along the length of the guide vane 100.
[0069] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 7 as well as Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments, a recessed groove 111 is formed on the windward side 110 to accommodate the spoiler 210, and each spoiler 210 is correspondingly disposed in a groove 111.
[0070] Optionally, the shape of the receiving groove 111 matches the shape of the spoiler 210 so that the spoiler 210 can be placed inside the receiving groove 111. In this way, when a gentle breeze is not needed, a current in the second direction is passed through the conductive column 211, driving the spoiler 210 towards the windward side 110 until the angle between it and the guide plate 100 approaches zero degrees. At this point, the spoiler is located inside the receiving groove 111, and the spoiler 210 no longer disturbs the airflow passing through the windward side 110. When a gentle breeze is needed, a current in the first direction is passed through the conductive column 211, driving the spoiler 210 towards the direction away from the windward side 110 to its working position, forming a certain angle with the guide plate 100, thereby disturbing the airflow passing through the windward side 110 to create a gentle breeze.
[0071] Furthermore, when it is necessary to turbulent the airflow passing through the windward side 110, the spoiler 210 can be rotated out from the receiving slot 111 to form a certain angle with the air guide plate 100, thereby turbulenting the airflow passing through the windward side 110 to form a gentle breeze; when it is not necessary to turbulent the airflow passing through the windward side 110, it can be rotated and stored in the receiving slot 111. At this time, the spoiler 210 can be hidden in the receiving slot 111, thus better reducing the risk of the spoiler 210 being damaged by external factors, while making the overall structure of the air conditioner more compact.
[0072] In some embodiments, a hinge shaft 240 is provided flush with the edge of the spoiler 210, and the two ends of the hinge shaft 240 are pivotally engaged with the inner sidewall of the receiving groove 111.
[0073] Optionally, the two ends of the hinge shaft 240 are pivotally engaged with the inner wall of the receiving groove 111 and are flush with and fixed at the edge of the spoiler 210. In this way, under the action of electromagnetic force, the spoiler 210 can be driven to rotate around the hinge shaft 240 to move in a direction away from the windward side 110 and form a certain angle with the wind guide plate 100; or, under the action of electromagnetic force, the spoiler 210 can be driven to rotate around the hinge shaft 240 to move in a direction closer to the windward side 110 and be housed in the receiving groove 111.
[0074] In some embodiments, the spoiler 210 includes a first side end 212 and a second side end 213 arranged opposite to each other, a hinge shaft 240 is disposed on the first side end 212, and a conductive post 211 is disposed on the second side end 213, or the hinge shaft 240 is disposed on the second side end 213 and the conductive post 211 is disposed on the first side end 212.
[0075] Optionally, the spoiler 210 includes a first side end 212 and a second side end 213 arranged opposite to each other, both the first side end 212 and the second side end 213 extending along the length of the air guide plate 100. A hinge shaft 240 is disposed at the first side end 212, and a conductive post 211 is disposed at the second side end 213; alternatively, the hinge shaft 240 is disposed at the second side end 213, and the conductive post 211 is disposed at the first side end 212. This facilitates increased torque and allows for rotation of the side end with the conductive post 211 around the side end with the hinge shaft 240 when current is passed through the conductive post 211.
[0076] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 7 as well as Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments, the spoiler 210 further includes a first side 214 and a second side 215 arranged opposite to each other, wherein the first side 214 and / or the second side 215 are wave surfaces; wherein, when the spoiler 210 is placed in the receiving groove 111, the first side 214 and the second side 215 are both parallel to the windward side 110.
[0077] Optionally, when the spoiler 210 is placed within the receiving groove 111, the first side 214 faces the windward side 110. The first side 214 is configured with a wave-like surface. Thus, when the windward side 110 of the air guide plate 100 rotates towards the top of the indoor unit, the spoiler 210 rotates and forms an angle with the air guide plate 100, with the first side 214 facing the direction of the incoming airflow. The wave-like first side 214 can turbulentize the airflow exiting towards the front upper side of the indoor unit. Alternatively, the second side 215 is configured with a wave-like surface. When the windward side 110 of the air guide plate 100 rotates towards the bottom of the indoor unit, the spoiler 210 rotates and forms an angle with the air guide plate 100, with the second side 215 facing the direction of the incoming airflow. The wave-like second side 215 can turbulentize the airflow exiting towards the front lower side of the indoor unit.
[0078] Optionally, both the first side 214 and the second side 215 are configured as wavy surfaces.
[0079] Optionally, the wave surface has multiple crests and troughs, which can break up the airflow passing through the spoiler 210 into finer particles and improve the turbulence effect on the airflow; at the same time, it can also avoid large airflow resistance and airflow noise caused by the turbulence effect of the spoiler 210.
[0080] In some embodiments, when the spoiler 210 is placed in the receiving groove 111, the first side 214 faces the windward side 110 and the height of the first side 214 is lower than that of the windward side 110, or the first side 214 is flush with the windward side 110.
[0081] Thus, when it is not necessary to turbulent the airflow passing through the windward side 110, the spoiler 210 is concealed inside the receiving groove 111. This is achieved by either making the height of the first side 214 lower than the height of the windward side 110, or making the height of the first side 214 equal to the height of the windward side 110. This prevents the spoiler 210 from being damaged by the airflow passing through the windward side 110, and prevents it from being suddenly lifted out of the receiving groove 111 and damaged under the impact of the high-speed airflow passing through the windward side 110, thereby improving the safety and stability of the spoiler 210.
[0082] In some embodiments, the air guiding mechanism further includes a first magnetic member 310 and a second magnetic member 320 that attract each other, with the first magnetic member 310 provided on the first side 214 and the second magnetic member 320 provided on the bottom surface of the receiving groove 111.
[0083] Optionally, the windward side 110 is provided such that, when it is not necessary to turbulent the airflow passing through the windward side 110, and the spoiler 210 is housed and hidden inside the receiving groove 111, the first side 214 of the spoiler 210 and the bottom surface of the receiving groove 111 attract each other, which can further improve the stability of the spoiler 210.
[0084] Optionally, both the first magnetic attractor 310 and the second magnetic attractor 320 are magnets; or, the first magnetic attractor 310 is a magnet and the material of the second magnetic attractor 320 includes a ferromagnetic material; or, the material of the first magnetic attractor 310 includes a ferromagnetic material and the second magnetic attractor 320 is a magnet.

[0086] Optionally, the bactericidal coating is applied to the air guide plate 100 by coating. Optionally, the air guide plate 100 has a bactericidal coating on its windward side 110 and / or leeward side. Specifically, the windward side 110 or the leeward side has a bactericidal coating, which can reduce production costs while adding bactericidal function to the windward side 110 or the leeward side of the air guide plate 100; or, both the windward side 110 and the leeward side of the air guide plate 100 have bactericidal coatings, which can comprehensively sterilize the airflow passing through the windward side 110 and the leeward side, improving sterilization efficiency and air purification effect.
[0087] Optionally, the antibacterial coating is applied to the spoiler 210 by coating. Optionally, the surface of the spoiler 210 is provided with an antibacterial coating. Specifically, the first side 214 is provided with an antibacterial coating. When the windward side 110 of the air guide plate 100 rotates towards the upper part of the indoor unit, the spoiler 210 rotates and forms a certain angle with the air guide plate 100, with the first side 214 facing the direction of the airflow. The first side 214 sterilizes the air outlet air facing the upper front side of the indoor unit, increasing the sterilization function while reducing production costs. Alternatively, the second side 215 is provided with an antibacterial coating. When the windward side 110 of the air guide plate 100 rotates towards the lower part of the indoor unit, the spoiler 210 rotates and forms a certain angle with the air guide plate 100, with the second side 215 facing the direction of the airflow. The second side 215 sterilizes the air outlet air facing the lower front side of the indoor unit, increasing the sterilization function while reducing production costs. Alternatively, both the first side 214 and the second side 215 are provided with antibacterial coatings. In this way, the spoiler 210 can be equipped with a sterilization function, and when a gentle breeze is required, the airflow passing through the spoiler 210 can be sterilized and purified.

[0089] Optionally, a bactericidal coating is uniformly sprayed onto the surface of the air guide plate 100 and / or the spoiler plate 210. Specifically, the bactericidal coating includes bactericidal paint, bactericidal fibers, silver ions, or activated carbon, etc. The bactericidal coating can sterilize bacteria in the airflow it comes into contact with, thereby achieving the effect of purifying the air.
[0090] Optionally, the bactericidal coating includes inorganic and organic antibacterial agents. The inorganic antibacterial agent primarily utilizes the antibacterial properties of metals such as silver, copper, and zinc, fixing these metals onto the surface of the air guide plate 100 and / or the spoiler plate 210 through methods such as physical adsorption and ion exchange. The organic antibacterial agent uses organic antibacterial agents, such as vanillin or ethyl vanillin compounds. By providing a bactericidal coating on the surface of the air guide plate 100 and / or the spoiler plate 210, the airflow passing over these surfaces can be sterilized, thereby improving the cleanliness of the airflow exiting the indoor unit of the air conditioner.
[0091] Combination Figure 9 , Figure 10 As shown, this embodiment of the present disclosure provides an air conditioner indoor unit including a housing 10 and an air guiding mechanism as described above.
[0092] The front end of the housing 10 is provided with an air outlet 11, and the air guide plate 100 of the air guide mechanism is rotatably disposed at the air outlet 11.
[0093] Optionally, the air guide plate 100 can rotate in a first rotation direction or in a second rotation direction. (Combined) Figure 7 As shown, when the air guide plate 100 rotates in the first rotation direction, the windward side 110 rotates towards the top of the housing 10, and the air guide plate 100 tilts upward to open the air outlet 11 and guide the airflow flowing through the air outlet 11. At this time, the deflector plate 210 of the deflector assembly 200 rotates to a position forming a certain angle with the air guide plate 100, deflecting and dispersing the airflow flowing through the windward side 110, i.e., the airflow flowing towards the front and top of the housing 10, forming a more comfortable soft breeze, effectively preventing the wind from blowing directly on the user, making the user feel no wind; combined with Figure 8 As shown, when the air guide plate 100 rotates in the second rotation direction, the windward side 110 rotates downward toward the housing 10, and the air guide plate 100 tilts downward to open the air outlet 11 and guide the airflow flowing through the air outlet 11. At this time, the deflector plate 210 of the deflector assembly 200 rotates to a position forming a certain angle with the air guide plate 100, deflecting and dispersing the airflow flowing through the windward side 110, i.e., the airflow flowing downward toward the front side of the housing 10, forming a more comfortable gentle breeze, effectively preventing the wind from blowing directly onto the user, so that the user feels no wind. The first rotation direction and the second rotation direction are opposite.
[0094] The air conditioner indoor unit provided in this embodiment has an air outlet 11 of its housing 10 with an air guiding mechanism as described above. The air guiding mechanism includes an air guide plate 100. A turbulence component 200 is provided on the windward side 110 of the air guide plate 100. The turbulence component 200 includes a plurality of turbulence plates 210 extending along the length direction of the air guide plate 100. The turbulence plate 210 can rotate about an axis parallel to its own length direction, and can form multiple working positions with different angles with the air guide plate 100 when rotating. In this way, when the airflow passes through the air guide plate 100, the spoiler plate 210 can rotate and form a certain angle with the air guide plate 100. As a result, when the airflow passes through the spoiler plate 210, the direction of the airflow changes, and the airflow is dispersed by the turbulence, increasing its air outlet area and making it easier for the air outlet to diffuse into the room. This changes the air outlet speed and turbulence, forming a more comfortable soft breeze, which can effectively prevent the wind from blowing directly on the user, making the user feel no wind, and thus achieving a comfortable windless air outlet, improving the user's comfort.
