Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of air conditioning technology, and more specifically, to an air guide assembly, an air conditioning device, and an air conditioning device control method. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, indoor wall-mounted air conditioners typically use air deflectors and blades to achieve airflow and diversion, enabling horizontal and vertical airflow. However, these airflow methods not only fail to meet the varying cooling needs of users at different times, but also suffer from poor flexibility due to the fact that air deflectors are usually flat rectangular plates with a certain curvature, resulting in a relatively fixed and concentrated airflow direction that blows directly at the user.

[0003] To solve the above problems, in the existing technology, multiple air guides are usually set up, and the air outlet direction and air outlet angle of each air guide are adjusted according to different needs, or the air guides are layered to achieve zoned air supply.

[0004] However, the above-mentioned air outlet method not only requires the support of multiple motors, increasing the processing cost of the air conditioner, but also does not fundamentally solve the problem of concentrated air volume, resulting in a poor user experience. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The main objective of this invention is to provide an air guide component, an air conditioning device, and an air conditioning device control method to solve the problem that the air outlet direction of the existing air conditioning device is relatively singular, which affects the user experience.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, according to one aspect of the present invention, an air guiding assembly is provided, disposed at the air outlet of an air conditioning unit. The air guiding assembly includes: a first air guiding plate rotatably connected to the bottom shell of the air conditioning unit; a second air guiding plate rotatably connected to the front panel of the air conditioning unit and located downstream of the first air guiding plate; and an adjustment structure movably disposed on the second air guiding plate. The adjustment structure includes multiple air guiding structures, and the adjustment structure has a first air outlet state and a second air outlet state. When the adjustment structure is in the first air outlet state, at least two adjacent air guiding structures are spaced apart along a first direction and their outer surfaces form a first air outlet surface, and at least two adjacent air guiding structures are spaced apart along a second direction and their outer surfaces form a second air outlet surface. The first direction and the second direction are arranged at an angle A. When the adjustment structure is in the second air outlet state, all air guiding structures are spaced apart along a third direction.

[0007] Furthermore, the air guide assembly also includes: a first connecting structure, the two ends of which are rotatably connected to the second air guide plate and the adjustment structure, respectively; wherein, there is one first connecting structure; or, there are multiple first connecting structures, which are spaced apart along the length direction of the second air guide plate.

[0008] Furthermore, each air guide structure is strip-shaped or column-shaped, the central axis of each air guide structure is consistent with the length direction of the second air guide plate, and the central axes of two adjacent air guide structures are set parallel to each other.

[0009] Furthermore, each air guide structure includes a rotating shaft and a rolling element, the rolling element being rotatably sleeved outside the rotating shaft, and at least part of the outer peripheral surface of the rolling element forming a first air outlet surface or a second air outlet surface.

[0010] Furthermore, the multiple air guiding structures include: a first air guiding structure; a second air guiding structure; and a third air guiding structure. When the adjustment structure is in the first air outlet state, the central axes of the first air guiding structure, the second air guiding structure, and the third air guiding structure form a triangle around each other. Specifically, when the adjustment structure is in the first air outlet state, the first air guiding structure is positioned closer to the air outlet than the second and third air guiding structures. The first and second air guiding structures form a first air outlet surface away from the outer surface of the third air guiding structure, and the first and third air guiding structures form a second air outlet surface away from the outer surface of the second air guiding structure, with the included angle A being less than 90°.

[0011] Furthermore, the end of the first connecting structure is rotatably connected to an air guide structure. The adjustment structure also includes: a plurality of second connecting structures, wherein the air guide structure rotatably connected to the end of the first connecting structure is rotatably connected to an adjacent air guide structure through at least one second connecting structure, and the air guide structure rotatably connected to the end of the first connecting structure is rotatably connected to another adjacent air guide structure through at least another second connecting structure; a plurality of driving devices are arranged one-to-one with the plurality of second connecting structures, and each driving device is driven connected to its corresponding second connecting structure to drive the second connecting structure to rotate the air guide structure; wherein the number of air guide structures is n, and the number of second connecting structures is n-1.

[0012] Furthermore, when the adjustment structure is in the second air outlet state, the central axes of all air guiding structures are coplanar; wherein, when the first air guide plate is in the closed position and the opening angle β2 of the second air guide plate is greater than or equal to 30° and less than or equal to 45°, all air guiding structures are fitted to the second air guide plate.

[0013] According to another aspect of the present invention, an air conditioning device is provided, including an air conditioning body and an air guide assembly, wherein the air conditioning body has an air outlet and the air guide assembly is disposed at the air outlet; wherein the air guide assembly is the air guide assembly described above.

[0014] Furthermore, the air conditioning unit has a forced heat exchange mode, a stratified flow mode, a gentle mode, and a far-field air supply mode. When the air conditioning unit is in the forced heat exchange mode, the opening angle α of the first air guide plate, the opening angle β1 of the second air guide plate, and the adjustment structure are controlled to be in the first air outlet state. When the air conditioning unit is in the stratified flow mode, the opening angle α of the first air guide plate, the opening angle β1 of the second air guide plate, and the adjustment structure are controlled to be in the second air outlet state. When the air conditioning unit is in the gentle mode, the first air guide plate is controlled to be closed, the opening angle β1 of the second air guide plate, and the adjustment structure are controlled to be in the first air outlet state. When the air conditioning unit is in the far-field air supply mode, the first air guide plate is controlled to be closed, the opening angle β2 of the second air guide plate, and the adjustment structure are controlled to be in the second air outlet state. Wherein, angle β2 is less than or equal to angle β1.

[0015] Furthermore, angle α satisfies the following relationship: 5°≤α≤60°; angle β1 satisfies the following relationship: 45°≤β1≤70°; angle β2 satisfies the following relationship: 30°≤β2≤45°.

[0016] According to another aspect of the present invention, an air conditioning device control method is provided, applicable to the aforementioned air conditioning device. The air conditioning device control method includes: acquiring an indoor near-field temperature T1 and an indoor far-field temperature T2; and controlling the air conditioning device to be in a forced heat exchange mode, a stratified flow mode, a gentle mode, or a far-field air supply mode based on the relationship between the temperature difference ΔT between the indoor near-field temperature T1 and the indoor far-field temperature T2 and a preset temperature difference ΔTa, and the relationship between the average temperature T0 of the indoor near-field temperature T1 and the indoor far-field temperature T2 and a preset average temperature TA.

[0017] Furthermore, based on the relationship between the temperature difference ΔT between the indoor near-field temperature T1 and the indoor far-field temperature T2 and the preset temperature difference ΔTa, and the relationship between the average temperature T0 of the indoor near-field temperature T1 and the indoor far-field temperature T2 and the preset average temperature TA, the air conditioning unit is controlled to be in forced heat exchange mode, stratified flow mode, gentle mode, or far-field air supply mode, including: when T0≥TA and |ΔT|≥ΔTa, the air conditioning unit is controlled to be in forced heat exchange mode; when T0≥TA and |ΔT|<ΔTa, the air conditioning unit is controlled to be in stratified flow mode; when T0≤TA and ΔT≥0, the air conditioning unit is controlled to be in gentle mode; when T0≤TA and ΔT<0, the air conditioning unit is controlled to be in far-field air supply mode.

[0018] Applying the technical solution of this invention, the air guiding assembly includes a first air guiding plate, a second air guiding plate, and an adjustment structure. The first air guiding plate is rotatably connected to the bottom shell of the air conditioning unit, and the second air guiding plate is rotatably connected to the front panel of the air conditioning unit and located downstream of the first air guiding plate. The adjustment structure includes multiple air guiding structures. When the adjustment structure is in a first air outlet state, at least two adjacent air guiding structures are spaced apart along a first direction and their outer surfaces form a first air outlet surface, and at least two adjacent air guiding structures are spaced apart along a second direction and their outer surfaces form a second air outlet surface. When the adjustment structure is in a second air outlet state, all air guiding structures are spaced apart along a third direction. Thus, the first air guiding plate has a first air outlet direction, the second air guiding plate has a second air outlet direction, and the adjustment structure has a first air outlet state and a second air outlet state. Users can arbitrarily combine the first air outlet direction, the second air outlet direction, the first air outlet state, and the second air outlet state according to their usage needs, so that the air conditioning unit has different air outlet modes to meet different user air outlet needs. This solves the problem that the air outlet direction of the existing air conditioning unit is relatively simple, which affects the user experience, and improves the user experience.

Detailed Implementation

[0030] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0031] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used in this application have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application pertains.

[0032] In this invention, unless otherwise stated, directional terms such as "up" and "down" are generally used in relation to the direction shown in the accompanying drawings, or in relation to the vertical, perpendicular, or gravitational direction; similarly, for ease of understanding and description, "left" and "right" are generally used in relation to the left and right shown in the accompanying drawings; "inner" and "outer" refer to the inner and outer contours of each component itself, but the above directional terms are not intended to limit this invention.

[0033] To address the issue that the air outlet direction of existing air conditioning devices is relatively singular, thus affecting the user experience, this application provides an air guide component, an air conditioning device, and an air conditioning device control method.

[0034] like Figures 1 to 7As shown, an air guide assembly is installed at the air outlet 10 of the air conditioning unit. The air guide assembly includes a first air guide plate 20, a second air guide plate 40, and an adjustment structure 60. The first air guide plate 20 is rotatably connected to the bottom shell 30 of the air conditioning unit. The second air guide plate 40 is rotatably connected to the front panel 50 of the air conditioning unit and is located downstream of the first air guide plate 20. The adjustment structure 60 is movably installed on the second air guide plate 40. The adjustment structure 60 includes multiple air guide structures 61. The adjustment structure 60 has a first air outlet state and a second air outlet state. When the adjustment structure 60 is in the first air outlet state, at least two adjacent air guide structures 61 are spaced apart along a first direction and their outer surfaces form a first air outlet surface 65. At least two adjacent air guide structures 61 are spaced apart along a second direction and their outer surfaces form a second air outlet surface 66. The first direction and the second direction are arranged at an angle A. When the adjustment structure 60 is in the second air outlet state, all air guide structures 61 are spaced apart along a third direction.

[0035] Applying the technical solution of this embodiment, the first air guide plate 20 has a first air outlet direction, the second air guide plate 40 has a second air outlet direction, and the adjustment structure 60 has a first air outlet state and a second air outlet state. Users can arbitrarily combine the first air outlet direction, the second air outlet direction, the first air outlet state, and the second air outlet state according to their usage needs, so that the air conditioning device has different air outlet modes to meet different air outlet needs of users. This solves the problem that the air outlet direction of the air conditioning device in the prior art is relatively simple, which affects the user experience and improves the user experience.

[0036] It should be noted that the first air outlet state of the adjustment structure 60 includes all states except the second air outlet state; that is, the angle A is unlimited, as long as it is greater than zero. In this way, the adjustment structure 60 can be arranged and positioned in various ways under different control applications to adapt to different scenario requirements and improve the overall comfort of the room.

[0037] In this embodiment, there are three air guiding structures 61. When the adjustment structure 60 is in the first air outlet state, the three air guiding structures 61 are arranged in a triangular pattern. One group of adjacent air guiding structures 61 is spaced apart along the first direction and its outer surface forms a first air outlet surface 65. Another group of adjacent air guiding structures 61 is spaced apart along the second direction and its outer surface forms a second air outlet surface 66. The two groups of adjacent air guiding structures 61 share one air guiding structure 61 close to the air outlet 10, so that the airflow passing through the adjustment structure 60 is dispersed to achieve flexible air outlet.

[0038] It should be noted that the number of air guiding structures 61 is not limited to this and can be adjusted according to operating conditions and usage requirements. Optionally, there may be four, five, six, or more air guiding structures 61.

[0039] like Figures 5 to 7As shown, the air guiding assembly also includes a first connecting structure 70. The two ends of the first connecting structure 70 are rotatably connected to the second air guiding plate 40 and the adjusting structure 60, respectively. There may be one first connecting structure 70; or, multiple first connecting structures 70 may be spaced apart along the length of the second air guiding plate 40. In this way, the first connecting structure 70 can drive the adjusting structure 60 to move relative to the second air guiding plate 40, thereby adjusting their relative position and the flow area between them, thus adjusting the air outlet mode of the air guiding assembly. Simultaneously, when there are multiple first connecting structures 70, the connection area between the adjusting structure 60 and the second air guiding plate 40 is increased, thereby improving the connection stability between them.

[0040] In this embodiment, there are two first connecting structures 70. The two first connecting structures 70 are spaced apart along the length direction of the second air guide plate 40. The two first connecting structures 70 are connected to both ends of the adjustment structure 60. Under the premise of ensuring the connection strength between the adjustment structure 60 and the second air guide plate 40, the first connecting structures 70 are prevented from affecting the normal air outlet of the air guide assembly, thereby improving the air guide performance of the air guide assembly.

[0041] It should be noted that the number of the first connection structure 70 is not limited to this and can be adjusted according to working conditions and usage requirements. Optionally, the first connection structure 70 can be three, four, five, six, or more.

[0042] Optionally, the first connecting structure 70 is strip-shaped or rod-shaped. This design simplifies the structure of the first connecting structure 70, making it easier to manufacture and implement, and reducing the manufacturing cost and difficulty of the first connecting structure 70.

[0043] Optionally, each air guide structure 61 is strip-shaped or columnar, with its central axis aligned with the length direction of the second air guide plate 40, and the central axes of adjacent air guide structures 61 arranged parallel to each other. This arrangement simplifies the structure of the air guide structure 61, making it easier to manufacture and implement, thus reducing manufacturing costs and difficulty. Simultaneously, this arrangement prevents positional interference between the air guide structures 61, which could affect the normal airflow of the air guide assembly.

[0044] In this embodiment, each air guide structure 61 is columnar, and all air guide structures 61 have the same diameter, thereby reducing the processing cost and processing difficulty of the air guide structure 61.

[0045] It should be noted that the outer diameter of each air guide structure 61 is not limited to this and can be adjusted according to operating conditions and usage requirements. Optionally, at least two air guide structures 61 may have different outer diameters.

[0046] Optionally, each air guide structure 61 includes a rotating shaft and a rolling element. The rolling element is rotatably mounted on the outside of the rotating shaft, and at least a portion of the outer peripheral surface of the rolling element forms a first air outlet surface 65 or a second air outlet surface 66. Thus, when the airflow comes into contact with the air guide structure 61, it can drive the rolling element to rotate around the rotating shaft, thereby guiding the airflow to ensure that the air discharged from the air outlet 10 flows in a preset direction. Simultaneously, the above arrangement can reduce the wind resistance on the air guide structure 61, ensuring that the air guide assembly can discharge air normally, improving the air outlet reliability of the air guide assembly, and increasing the air outlet volume of the air guide assembly.

[0047] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the multiple air guiding structures 61 include a first air guiding structure 62, a second air guiding structure 63, and a third air guiding structure 64. When the adjustment structure 60 is in the first air outlet state, the central axes of the first air guiding structure 62, the second air guiding structure 63, and the third air guiding structure 64 form a triangle around each other. Specifically, when the adjustment structure 60 is in the first air outlet state, the first air guiding structure 62 is positioned closer to the air outlet 10 than the second air guiding structure 63 and the third air guiding structure 64. The outer surfaces of the first air guiding structure 62 and the second air guiding structure 63 facing away from the third air guiding structure 64 form a first air outlet surface 65, and the outer surfaces of the first air guiding structure 62 and the third air guiding structure 64 facing away from the second air guiding structure 63 form a second air outlet surface 66, with an included angle A less than 90°. Specifically, the central axes of the first air guide structure 62, the second air guide structure 63, and the third air guide structure 64 are arranged parallel to each other. When the adjustment structure 60 is in the first air outlet state, the airflow blown out from the air outlet 10 first flows through the first air guide structure 62. Under the guidance of the outer peripheral surface of the first air guide structure 62, the airflow is divided into two streams. The two streams of airflow flow out from the first air outlet surface 65 and the second air outlet surface 66 respectively, so as to realize the diversion, deceleration and reversal of the airflow at the adjustment structure 60.

[0048] Specifically, when the adjustment structure 60 is in the second air outlet state, the central axis of the first air guide structure 62, the central axis of the second air guide structure 63, and the central axis of the third air guide structure 64 are located in the same plane, so as to stratify and change the airflow after the adjustment structure 60, and avoid the airflow blowing directly on the user.

[0049] like Figures 5 to 7As shown, the end of the first connecting structure 70 is rotatably connected to an air guide structure 61. The adjusting structure 60 also includes multiple second connecting structures 67 and multiple driving devices. Each air guide structure 61 rotatably connected to the end of the first connecting structure 70 via multiple second connecting structures 67 is rotatably connected to its adjacent air guide structure 61 via at least one second connecting structure 67. Each air guide structure 61 rotatably connected to the end of the first connecting structure 70 is rotatably connected to its adjacent air guide structure 61 via at least another second connecting structure 67. Multiple driving devices are arranged one-to-one with multiple second connecting structures 67, and each driving device is driven by its corresponding second connecting structure 67 to drive the second connecting structure 67 to rotate the air guide structure 61. The number of air guide structures 61 is n, and the number of second connecting structures 67 is n-1. This arrangement makes adjusting the air outlet state of the adjusting structure 60 easier and simpler, reducing the adjustment difficulty. Simultaneously, this arrangement makes the structure of the adjusting structure 60 simpler, easier to manufacture and implement, and reduces the manufacturing cost of the adjusting structure 60.

[0050] Specifically, the ends of the first air guide structure 62 and the first connecting structure 70 are rotatably connected. There are two second connecting structures 67. The two ends of one second connecting structure 67 are connected to the first air guide structure 62 and the second air guide structure 63 respectively. The two ends of the other second connecting structure 67 are connected to the first air guide structure 62 and the third air guide structure 64 respectively. The second connecting structure 67 drives the second air guide structure 63 and the third air guide structure 64 to swing or rotate relative to the first air guide structure 62, so as to adjust the positional relationship between the first air guide structure 62, the second air guide structure 63 and the third air guide structure 64, such as adjusting it to a triangle or a straight line.

[0051] In this embodiment, when the adjustment structure 60 is in the second air outlet state, the central axes of all air guiding structures 61 are coplanar. Specifically, when the first air guide plate 20 is in the closed position and the opening angle β2 of the second air guide plate 40 is greater than or equal to 30° and less than or equal to 45°, all air guiding structures 61 are fitted against the second air guide plate 40. Thus, when the air conditioning unit is in far-field air supply mode, with the first air guide plate 20 in the closed position and the opening angle β2 of the second air guide plate 40 greater than or equal to 30° and less than or equal to 45°, all air guiding structures 61 are fitted against the second air guide plate 40 to raise the lowest air outlet position (air outlet direction) of the air guiding assembly, preventing direct cold air blowing and thus improving the user experience.

[0052] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this application also provides an air conditioning device, including an air conditioning body and an air guide assembly. The air conditioning body has an air outlet 10, and the air guide assembly is disposed at the air outlet 10. The air guide assembly is the aforementioned air guide assembly.

[0053] In this embodiment, the air conditioning unit has a forced heat exchange mode, a stratified flow mode, a gentle mode, and a far-field air supply mode. When the air conditioning unit is in the forced heat exchange mode, the opening angle α of the first air guide plate 20, the opening angle β1 of the second air guide plate 40, and the adjustment structure 60 are controlled to be in the first air outlet state. When the air conditioning unit is in the stratified flow mode, the opening angle α of the first air guide plate 20, the opening angle β1 of the second air guide plate 40, and the adjustment structure 60 are controlled to be in the second air outlet state. When the air conditioning unit is in the gentle mode, the first air guide plate 20 is controlled to be closed, the opening angle β1 of the second air guide plate 40, and the adjustment structure 60 are controlled to be in the first air outlet state. When the air conditioning unit is in the far-field air supply mode, the first air guide plate 20 is controlled to be closed, the opening angle β2 of the second air guide plate 40, and the adjustment structure 60 are controlled to be in the second air outlet state. Wherein, angle β2 is less than or equal to angle β1. In this way, the above settings enable the air conditioning unit to have four different modes. It can determine the room temperature distribution based on the average temperature and temperature difference between the near and far fields of the room, and achieve personalized intelligent air supply effect by changing the different modes through the air guide components, thereby improving air supply comfort.

[0054] like Figure 1 As shown, when the air conditioning unit is in forced heat exchange mode, the first air guide plate 20 opens at an angle α, the second air guide plate 40 opens at an angle β1, and the adjustment structure 60 is in the first air outlet state. At this time, the adjustment structure 60 improves the heat exchange efficiency and airflow disturbance effect, which can realize rapid heat exchange in the room.

[0055] like Figure 2 As shown, when the air conditioning unit is in the stratified flow mode, the first air guide plate 20 opens at an angle α, the second air guide plate 40 opens at an angle β1, and the adjustment structure 60 is in the second air outlet state. At this time, the adjustment structure 60 plays a guiding role, which can realize large-angle air supply to the room.

[0056] like Figure 3 As shown, when the air conditioning unit is in gentle mode, the first air guide plate 20 is closed, the second air guide plate 40 is opened at an angle β1, and the adjustment structure 60 is in the first air outlet state. At this time, the adjustment structure 60 plays a role in airflow disturbance, which can achieve a gentle airflow effect in the room.

[0057] like Figure 4 As shown, when the air conditioning unit is in the far-field air supply mode, the first air guide plate 20 is closed, the second air guide plate 40 is opened at an angle β2, and the adjustment structure 60 is in the second air outlet state. At this time, the adjustment structure 60 has the effect of raising the airflow to avoid cold air blowing directly on the user.

[0058] Optionally, angle α satisfies the following relationship: 5°≤α≤60°; angle β1 satisfies the following relationship: 45°≤β1≤70°; and angle β2 satisfies the following relationship: 30°≤β2≤45°. This allows for more flexible selection of the values ​​of angle α, angle β1, and angle β2 to meet different usage requirements and operating conditions.

[0059] In this embodiment, the angle α is 25°. It should be noted that the value of angle α is not limited to this and can be adjusted according to working conditions and usage requirements. Optionally, the angle α is 10°, 15°, 20°, 30°, 35°, 45°, 50°, or 55°.

[0060] In this embodiment, the angle β1 is 55°. It should be noted that the value of angle β1 is not limited to this and can be adjusted according to working conditions and usage requirements. Optionally, the angle β1 can be 48°, 50°, 58°, 60°, 65°, or 68°.

[0061] In this embodiment, angle β2 is 45°. It should be noted that the value of angle β2 is not limited to this and can be adjusted according to working conditions and usage requirements. Optionally, angle β2 can be 35°, 38°, 40°, or 42°.

[0062] Specifically, when the air guide assembly is in the closed state, the first air guide plate 20 and the second air guide plate 40 are connected end to end.

[0063] like Figure 8 As shown, this application also provides an air conditioning device control method, applicable to the aforementioned air conditioning device, the air conditioning device control method comprising:

[0064] Obtain the indoor near-field temperature T1 and the indoor far-field temperature T2;

[0065] Based on the relationship between the temperature difference ΔT between the indoor near-field temperature T1 and the indoor far-field temperature T2 and the preset temperature difference ΔTa, and the relationship between the average temperature T0 of the indoor near-field temperature T1 and the indoor far-field temperature T2 and the preset average temperature TA, the air conditioning unit is controlled to be in forced heat exchange mode, stratified flow mode, gentle mode, or far-field air supply mode.

[0066] Specifically, based on the average near-field and far-field temperatures and temperature difference, the room temperature distribution is determined. Different modes are created by the air guide components to achieve personalized intelligent air delivery, improving room temperature uniformity and thus enhancing overall room comfort. When a user turns on the air conditioner, they can freely choose different air delivery modes to meet their individual needs. If no mode is set, it enters automatic mode. In automatic mode, the room temperature is first monitored by a temperature sensor, selecting two monitoring points: the near-field temperature T1 and the far-field temperature T2. The near-field and far-field temperature difference ΔT and the average temperature T0 are calculated in real time. Where ΔT = T1 - T2, and T0 = (T1 + T2) / 2. The preset average temperature value TA ranges from 27 to 30℃, preferably 27℃. The preset temperature difference value ΔTa ranges from 1 to 2℃, preferably 1.5℃.

[0067] In this embodiment, controlling the air conditioning unit to be in forced heat exchange mode, stratified flow mode, gentle mode, or far-field air supply mode based on the relationship between the temperature difference ΔT between the indoor near-field temperature T1 and the indoor far-field temperature T2 and the preset temperature difference ΔTa, and the relationship between the average temperature T0 of the indoor near-field temperature T1 and the indoor far-field temperature T2 and the preset average temperature TA, includes:

[0068] When T0≥TA and |△T|≥△Ta, the air conditioning unit is controlled to be in forced heat exchange mode;

[0069] When T0≥TA and |△T|<△Ta, the air conditioning unit is controlled to be in stratified flow mode;

[0070] When T0≤TA and △T≥0, the air conditioning unit is controlled to be in gentle mode;

[0071] When T0≤TA and △T<0, the air conditioning unit is controlled to be in far-field air supply mode.

[0072] Specifically, |△T| is the absolute value of the temperature difference △T between the near and far fields.

[0073] If T0≥TA and |△T|≥△Ta, the air conditioning unit enters forced heat exchange mode, and the air guide component is in air guide form 1. At this time, the room temperature is high and the temperature difference is large. By opening the first air guide plate 20 at an angle α and the second air guide plate 40 at a larger angle β1, and adjusting the adjustment structure 60 to the first air outlet state and arranged at the air outlet position, the heat exchange capacity of the room airflow is improved, and the hot and cold air are quickly mixed.

[0074] If T0≥TA and |△T|<△Ta, the air conditioning unit enters the stratified flow mode, and the air guide component is air guide type 2. At this time, the room temperature is high, but the temperature difference is small. By opening the first air guide plate 20 at an angle α and the second air guide plate 40 at a larger angle β1, and adjusting the adjustment structure 60 to the second air outlet state and arranging it at the air outlet position, part of the airflow is guided upward, so that the airflow forms a three-layer diversion effect, increasing the air supply angle and achieving rapid cooling.

[0075] If T0≤TA and △T≥0, the air conditioning unit enters gentle mode, and the air guide component is in air guide form 3. At this time, the average room temperature is moderate, and the indoor far-field temperature T2 is lower than the indoor near-field temperature T1. By closing the first air guide plate 20, opening the second air guide plate 40 at a larger angle β1, and adjusting the adjustment structure 60 to the first air outlet state and arranging it at the air outlet position, the near-field temperature is quickly reduced, and the temperature uniformity is improved.

[0076] If T0≤TA and △T<0, the air conditioning unit enters the far-field air supply mode, and the air guide component is air guide type 4. At this time, the average room temperature is moderate, and the indoor near-field temperature T1 is lower than the indoor far-field temperature T2. By closing the first air guide plate 20 and opening the second air guide plate 40 at a certain angle β2, the adjustment structure 60 is adjusted to the second air outlet state and arranged at the end of the second air guide plate 40. When the airflow passes through, the airflow angle can be raised, so that it flows along the ceiling to the end of the room and settles, thereby reducing the indoor far-field temperature T2 and making the room temperature more uniform.

[0077] As can be seen from the above description, the embodiments of the present invention achieve the following technical effects:

[0078] The first air guide plate has a first air outlet direction, and the second air guide plate has a second air outlet direction. The adjustment structure has a first air outlet state and a second air outlet state. Users can arbitrarily combine the first air outlet direction, the second air outlet direction, the first air outlet state, and the second air outlet state according to their usage needs, so that the air conditioning unit has different air outlet modes to meet different air outlet needs of users. This solves the problem that the air outlet direction of the existing air conditioning unit is relatively simple, which affects the user experience and improves the user experience.
