In particular, when the air guide device 12 is turned to the wide-angle air guide position, at least a portion of the wind blown out from the first air outlet 11 enters the wide-angle air duct defined by the first air guide surface and the air guide device, and is blown out in a direction away from the other air outlet portion 10, thereby expanding the air outlet angle of the first air outlet 11, and then making the air outlet angles of the two air outlet portions 10 larger, thereby meeting the user's demand for wide-angle air supply of the air conditioner.

[0125] In this embodiment, controlling the operation of the first air outlet and / or the second air outlet includes: controlling the first air outlet and / or the second air outlet to operate in a wide-angle air supply mode.

[0126] The wide-angle air supply mode includes: controlling the air guide plate of the first air outlet and / or the second air outlet to move to a wide-angle air guide position.

[0127] In this embodiment, when the first air outlet and / or the second air outlet is controlled to operate in the wide-angle air supply mode, the air outlet angles of the two air outlets 10 can be made larger, thereby meeting the user's demand for wide-angle air supply of the air conditioner.

[0128] Figure 3 is a schematic front view of an air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present invention, with reference to Figures 4 to 10The present invention further provides an air conditioner, comprising a control device. The control device comprises a memory and a processor. The memory stores a control program. When the control program is executed by the processor, it is used to implement the air conditioner control method described in any of the above embodiments.

[0129] like Figure 5-13 As shown, in some optional embodiments of the present invention, the air conditioner includes two air outlets 10, the two air outlets 10 being a first air outlet and a second air outlet. Each air outlet 10 has a plurality of air outlets on its front side. When the two air outlets are arranged vertically, the two air outlets 10 are symmetrically arranged with respect to a vertical reference plane extending forward and backward. When the two air outlets are arranged horizontally, the two air outlets 10 are symmetrically arranged with respect to a horizontal reference plane. The symmetrical arrangement of the air outlets 10 gives the air conditioner a stable appearance, which conforms to the aesthetic taste of the Chinese people.

[0130] Furthermore, in some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 11 As shown, the two air outlets 10 are spaced apart to form an air induction gap 20 between the two air outlets 10. When the two air outlets 10 discharge air forward, the air in the air induction gap 20 is driven forward by negative pressure, causing this air to mix with the air blown out by the two air outlets 10. During cooling, the outlet air temperature is lowered, and the air is not too "hard", producing a "soft" air effect.

[0131] In some embodiments of the present invention, each air outlet 10 includes a first air outlet 11, an air duct, and a heat exchanger. The air duct communicates with the first air outlet 11, and the heat exchanger 15 is disposed within the air duct. The air conditioner also includes a flow control device configured to control the simultaneous operation of both heat exchangers or the operation of only one of the heat exchangers. When either air outlet is not discharging air, the corresponding heat exchanger is also inoperative.

[0132] In these embodiments, each first air outlet 11 can independently discharge air. The air conditioner can discharge air from either a single first air outlet 11 or both first air outlets 11 simultaneously. When both outlets discharge air simultaneously, the air conditioner can achieve a higher air volume and expand the airflow range. The flow control device controls the operating state of the heat exchanger 15 by controlling the on / off flow of the working fluid in the heat exchanger 15. The flow control device can control both heat exchangers 15 to operate simultaneously, with both first air outlets 11 simultaneously blowing out heated air. The flow control device can also control one of the two heat exchangers 15 to operate simultaneously. In this way, when both first air outlets 11 discharge air simultaneously, the heated air and non-heated air can be mixed or blown separately to their designated areas. Mixed air output can bring the air temperature close to room temperature, avoiding discomfort caused by heated air blowing directly onto the user. Blowing heated air and non-heated air separately to their designated areas can meet the varying airflow needs of users in different locations. This configuration allows the air conditioner to have multiple airflow modes, meeting a wider range of user needs.

[0133] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, two heat exchangers 15 are arranged in parallel. The flow control device includes two electronic on-off valves 34, each connected in series with a corresponding heat exchanger 15. These electronic on-off valves 34 control the on-off flow of the working fluid in the heat exchanger, providing stable and reliable operation.

[0134] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the air conditioner further includes a throttling device 33. The throttling device 33 is located upstream of the heat exchanger 15. The throttling device 33 is used to control the amount of working fluid entering the heat exchanger 15. The throttling device 33 generally includes a capillary tube, a mechanical expansion valve, an electronic expansion valve, etc. Preferably, the throttling device 33 is an electronic expansion valve.

[0135] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the air conditioner further comprises a compressor 311, a condenser 36 and a four-way valve 35 connected in series between the electronic on-off valve 34 and the compressor 311, and the throttling device is connected to the condenser 36. The compressor includes a liquid accumulator 312.

[0136] like Figure 5-13 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, each air outlet 10 further includes a second air outlet 17 and a bypass air duct. The second air outlet 17 is located at the front of the air outlet 10 and on the side of the first air outlet 11 away from the other air outlet 10. The bypass air duct connects the second air outlet 17 with the air duct. Both the first air outlet 11 and the second air outlet 17 extend along the length of the air outlet 10.

[0137] like Figure 11As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, each air outlet portion 10 has a first air guide surface 32 connected to the corresponding first air outlet 11 and away from the edge of the other air outlet portion 10. The air conditioner indoor unit also includes two air guide devices 12, each air guide device 12 is respectively provided at a corresponding first air outlet 11, is used to guide the outlet air in the width direction of the first air outlet 11, and can be moved to a wide-angle air guide position to define a wide-angle air duct with the first air guide surface.

[0138] During operation, the air guide device 12 on the air outlet portion 10 rotates to guide the direction of the air blown out from the first air outlet 11, in particular, as shown in FIG. Figure 10 As shown, when the air guide device 12 is turned to the wide-angle air guide position, at least a portion of the wind blown out from the first air outlet 11 enters the wide-angle air duct defined by the first air guide surface 32 and the air guide device 12, and is blown out in a direction away from the other air outlet portion 10, thereby expanding the air outlet angle of the first air outlet 11, and then making the air outlet angles of the two air outlet portions 10 larger, thereby meeting the user's demand for wide-angle air supply of the air conditioner.

[0139] like Figure 5-13 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, each air outlet includes an air outlet main body and an air guide body 30. The front side of the air outlet main body has a connecting opening extending along the length of the air outlet main body. The two edges of the connecting opening extending along the length are a first edge and a second edge. The surface of the air outlet main body includes an air guide area connected to the first edge. The edge of the air guide area opposite the first edge is a third edge. The air guide body 30 is disposed in front of the air guide area. The air guide body 30 includes a first air guide surface 32 disposed in front of the air guide body 30. The first air guide surface 32 has a fourth edge and a fifth edge. The fourth edge is close to the second edge, the fifth edge is close to the third edge, and the fifth edge is located obliquely forward of the fourth edge. A bypass air duct is formed between the air guide body 30 and the air guide area. The distance between the second edge and the end of the air guide body 30 having the fourth edge is the first air outlet 11, and the distance between the third edge and the end of the air guide body 30 having the fifth edge is the second air outlet 17. The bypass air duct connects the connecting opening and the second air outlet 17.

[0140] In these implementations, by providing the air outlet main body and the air guide body, each air outlet part is provided with two air outlets and a first air guide surface, thereby achieving a novel shape while realizing wide-angle air outlet of the air conditioner, achieving two goals at one stroke.

[0141] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 5 As shown, an air outlet structure 18 is provided at the second air outlet 17. The air outlet structure 18 directs the air passing through the second air outlet 17 toward the front side of the second air outlet 17 near the third edge. In other words, the air entering the bypass air duct can also change its direction after passing through the air outlet structure 18, thereby widening the air outlet angle.

[0142] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 6 As shown, the air outlet structure 18 includes multiple curved plates, which are arranged in parallel and protrude toward the front of the first air outlet 11 so that the air passing through the curved plates is blown toward the front side of the second air outlet 17 close to the third edge.

[0143] Of course, in other embodiments of the present invention, the air outlet structure 18 allows the air passing through the second air outlet 17 to be blown out toward the front of the second air outlet 17 .

[0144] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 11 As shown, an air inlet structure 19 is provided at the inlet of the bypass air duct to disperse the wind passing through the inlet of the bypass air duct.

[0145] Furthermore, in some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 11 As shown, the air inlet structure 19 is a microporous plate, and the two edges of the microporous plate along the length direction are connected to the fourth edge and the first edge respectively. A portion of the air outflow from the communication port passes through the microporous plate and is dispersed by the micropores to become a breeze, thereby making the outflow more "soft".

[0146] In some embodiments of the present invention, the microwells are arranged horizontally.

[0147] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 3 As shown, the air guide body 30 also includes a second air guide surface 31 located on the rear side of the first air guide surface 32. The first air guide surface is an arc surface that arches in the direction away from the bypass air duct. The second air guide surface 31 has a planar area connected to the fourth edge, and the end of the planar area away from the first edge is located obliquely in front of the fourth edge. The fourth edge is located in front of the inlet of the bypass air duct, that is, the second air guide surface is inclined obliquely in front from the front edge of the inlet of the bypass air duct. The provision of the second air guide surface 31 can reduce wind resistance and make it easier for the wind that enters the bypass air duct through the air inlet structure 19 to be blown out after passing through the air outlet structure 18.

[0148] In some embodiments of the present invention, the air outlet structure 18, the air inlet structure 19 and the air guide body 30 are integrally formed.

[0149] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 10 As shown, the air guide device 12 includes at least one air guide plate. When the air guide device moves to the wide-angle air guide position, the edge of the air guide plate closest to the air guide body 30, which is close to the air guide body 30, is located in front of the first air guide surface 32. This arrangement forms a wide-angle air duct between the air guide plate closest to the air guide body 30 and the first air guide surface 32. Preferably, the air guide device 12 includes two air guide plates. The two air guide plates are arranged along the width direction of the first air outlet 11.

[0150] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 5 As shown, the cross-section of the duct wall connected to the first edge at the first edge serves as the reference cross-section. The air guide is located on the side of the reference cross-section away from the first air outlet. This arrangement facilitates wide-angle air guidance without obstructing air outflow from the connecting port.

[0151] In some embodiments of the present invention, the air inlet compartment 20 comprises only an interconnected air inlet section and an air outlet section. The width of the air outlet section gradually increases along the airflow direction. The width of the air inlet section gradually decreases along the airflow direction. This configuration of the air inlet compartment 20 facilitates the entry of air from the rear side of the air inlet compartment 20 and also facilitates the forward flow of air within the air inlet compartment 20.

[0152] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 5 As shown, the second edge is located at the front side of the air outlet section.

[0153] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 5 As shown, the first edge is located in front of the second edge.

[0154] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 5 As shown, the fourth edge is located obliquely in front of the corresponding second edge.

[0155] like Figure 12 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the ratio of the distance d from the second edge to the vertical plane extending in the transverse direction where the front end of the air outlet 10 is located to the maximum thickness D of the air outlet 10 in the front-to-back direction is less than 0.3. Preferably, in some embodiments, the ratio of the distance from the second edge to the vertical plane extending in the transverse direction where the front end of the air outlet 10 is located to the maximum thickness D of the air outlet 10 in the front-to-back direction is less than 0.17. Further preferably, in some embodiments, the ratio of the distance from the second edge to the vertical plane extending in the transverse direction where the front end of the air outlet 10 is located to the maximum thickness of the air outlet 10 in the front-to-back direction is equal to 0.135.

[0156] In these embodiments, the first air outlet 11 is ensured to be "front-positioned" by setting the ratio of the distance d from the second edge to the vertical plane extending in the transverse direction where the front end of the air outlet 10 is located to the maximum thickness D of the air outlet 10 in the front-to-back direction, so that the airflow blown out from the first air outlet 11 is further forward. Compared with the existing two first air outlets 11 arranged relative to each other, this arrangement is conducive to increasing the air outlet angle of the air conditioner indoor unit to meet the needs of users.

[0157] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 12As shown, the ratio of the distance from the second edge to the third edge in the transverse direction to the maximum thickness of the air outlet portion 10 in the transverse direction is greater than or equal to 0.3. Preferably, in some embodiments, the ratio of the distance h from the second edge to the third edge in the transverse direction to the maximum thickness H of the air outlet portion 10 in the transverse direction is greater than or equal to 0.4. Further preferably, in some embodiments, the ratio of the distance h from the second edge to the third edge in the transverse direction to the maximum thickness H of the air outlet portion 10 in the transverse direction is equal to 0.64.

[0158] In these embodiments, the air outlet range of the first air outlet 11 and the second air outlet 17 is ensured by setting the ratio of the distance h from the second edge to the third edge in the transverse direction to the maximum thickness H of the air outlet portion 10 in the transverse direction, thereby further expanding the air outlet range and air outlet angle of the air conditioner indoor unit.

[0159] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 12 As shown, the ratio of the width h1 of the first air outlet 11 to the maximum thickness H of the air outlet portion 10 in the transverse direction is greater than or equal to 0.2. Preferably, the ratio of the width h1 of the first air outlet 11 to the maximum thickness H of the air outlet portion 10 in the transverse direction is 0.36.

[0160] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 12 As shown, the ratio of the width h2 of the second air outlet 17 to the maximum thickness H of the air outlet portion 10 in the transverse direction is greater than or equal to 0.1. Preferably, the ratio of the width h2 of the second air outlet 17 to the maximum thickness H of the air outlet portion 10 in the transverse direction is 0.19.

[0161] like Figure 13 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the two vertical edges of the first air outlet 11 are the second edge and the sixth edge, respectively. The sixth edge is on the side of the second edge away from the other air outlet portion 10, and the sixth edge is in front of the second edge. The angle between the plane where the second edge and the sixth edge are located and the vertical reference plane is α1, and α1 is greater than 40°. In other words, the second edge is obliquely rearward of the sixth edge. This arrangement makes the first air outlet 11 "front-positioned", so that the airflow blown out from the first air outlet 11 is closer to the front and more able to flow to both sides. Compared with the existing relative arrangement of the two first air outlets, this arrangement is conducive to increasing the air outlet angle of the air conditioner indoor unit to meet the needs of users.

[0162] Preferably, in some embodiments of the present invention, the angle α1 between the plane where the second edge and the sixth edge are located and the vertical reference plane is 60° to 80°, for example, 60°, 65°, 68°, 73°, 75°, 78°, etc.

[0163] In some embodiments of the present invention, the sixth edge position may be a position where the air guiding device 12 contacts the first air guiding surface 32 when the air guiding device 12 closes the first air outlet 11 .

[0164] In some embodiments of the present invention, the first air guiding surface 32 is arc-shaped, which is more conducive to wide-angle air supply.

[0165] In some embodiments of the present invention, the air outlet 10 includes a vertical plane extending in the transverse direction and connected to the front edge of the first air guide surface 32. The vertical plane is the front end of the air outlet 10, and the second air outlet 17 is arranged on the vertical plane.

[0166] In some embodiments of the present invention, the inner surface of the air guide plate allows the airflow to flow away from the other air outlet portion 10. This arrangement is also conducive to expanding the air outlet angle of the first air outlet 11.

[0167] In some embodiments of the present invention, the first air deflector is proximate to the second edge. The first air deflector and the second air deflector are movable to a predetermined position. The angle between a front end section of the inner surface of the first air deflector and a vertical reference plane is a first angle. The angle between a front end section of the inner surface of the second air deflector and the vertical reference plane is a second angle. At the predetermined position, the first angle is smaller than the second angle, and the second angle is greater than 60°.

[0168] In some embodiments of the present invention, the air guide device 12 includes a plurality of air guide plates, each of which has an arc-shaped front surface. When the first air outlet 11 is closed, the second edge and the front surface of each air guide plate are located on the same arc surface. This arrangement provides a harmonious and aesthetically pleasing appearance to the air conditioner indoor unit.

[0169] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 13 As shown, the first air deflector is close to the second edge, and the forward angle between the tangent plane of the midline of the front surface of the first air deflector and the reference plane is α2, and α2 is 40° to 90°, preferably 56°. The forward angle between the tangent plane of the midline of the front surface of the second air deflector and the reference plane is α3, and α3 is between 70° and 90°, preferably 80°.

[0170] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 13 As shown, the angle θ between the outlet direction of the second air outlet 17 and the vertical reference plane is greater than 50°. Preferably, θ is 70°. This arrangement further increases the outlet angle of the air conditioner indoor unit.

[0171] Furthermore, in some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 13As shown, the angle θ between the tangent plane at the front edge of the windward surface of the curved plate and the vertical reference plane is greater than 50°. Preferably, the angle θ between the tangent plane at the front edge of the windward surface of the curved plate and the vertical reference plane is 70°.

[0172] In some embodiments of the present invention, an air inlet 16 connected to the connecting port is provided on the side wall of each air outlet main body. A fan is provided in each air outlet main body, and the fan guides the air into the air outlet main body and blows it out from the connecting port. The fan is a cross-flow fan 14. A heat exchanger 15 is provided in at least one air outlet main body. When one of the two air outlet main bodies blows a heat exchange airflow, the heat exchange airflow, the non-heat exchange airflow and the air in the induced draft interval 20 are mixed in front of the vertical air-conditioning indoor unit, so that the temperature of the mixed airflow is closer to the room temperature, thereby making the air outlet softer. When both air outlet main bodies blow a heat exchange airflow, the heat exchange airflow and the air in the induced draft interval 20 are mixed in front of the vertical air-conditioning indoor unit of the air conditioner, which also makes the air outlet softer.

[0173] In some embodiments of the present invention, the air conditioner has multiple air outlet modes. Figure 5 As shown, the wind guide device 12 closes the first air outlet 11, and the air passing through the connecting port enters the bypass air duct through the air inlet structure 19 and is blown out from the second air outlet 17 through the air outlet structure 18. This air outlet mode can be called a breeze mode. Figure 7 As shown, the air guide device 12 extends in the front-to-back direction. At this time, the first air outlet 11 has the largest opening area. The air discharged from the two first air outlets 11 drives the air in the air induction gap 20 to flow forward. At this time, the air volume is the largest. This air outlet mode can be called the maximum air volume mode. Figure 8 As shown, the air discharged from the two first air outlets 11 is directed toward each other, and the air discharged from the two first air outlets 11 drives the air in the air induction gap 20 to flow forward, thereby making the wind speed after the mixed air greater, which is helpful for sending air to a distant place. This air outlet mode can be called a long-distance air supply mode. Figure 9 As shown, the two wind guide plates of the wind guide device 12 are inclined toward the direction of the wind guide body 30, and the air discharged from the two first air outlets 11 is directed away from each other, so that the air discharged from the two first air outlets 11 is mainly directed toward both sides. This air outlet mode can be called a wide-angle surrounding wind mode. Figure 10 As shown, the air guide plate close to the second edge of the two air guide plates of the air guide device 12 extends forward and backward, and the air guide plate close to the air guide body 30 forms a wide-angle air duct with the first air guide surface 32, so that the air outlet angle through the first air outlet 11 is relatively large. This air outlet mode can be called a wide-angle air supply mode (also called: wide-area uniform wind mode). Figure 6As shown, one of the air guides is closed and the other air guide is guiding air. This air outlet mode can be called a single air supply mode. Of course, in these air outlet modes, it is also possible to control both heat exchangers to work simultaneously or only one of them to work according to user needs.

[0174] At this point, those skilled in the art will recognize that, although a number of exemplary embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described in detail herein, many other variations or modifications consistent with the principles of the present invention may be directly determined or derived from the disclosure of the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of the present invention should be understood and deemed to cover all such other variations or modifications.
