[0046] Figure 1 is a schematic front view of a vertical air conditioner indoor unit according to an embodiment of the present application, with reference to Figures 2 to 10 The vertical air conditioner indoor unit according to the embodiment of the present application includes a plurality of transversely arranged air outlet columns 10, and a plurality of air outlets are formed on the front side of at least one air outlet column 10. The vertical air conditioner indoor unit with a plurality of air outlet columns 10 and air outlets can have a plurality of air outlet modes. For example, a plurality of air outlet columns 10 can be arranged to select one air outlet column 10 to blow air alone or a plurality of air outlet columns 10 to blow air simultaneously according to needs, so as to increase the air volume. For another example, the angles of a plurality of air outlets are different, which can increase the air outlet angle of the air conditioner indoor unit, and different air can be blown out through a plurality of air outlets. For example, one air outlet blows heat exchange air, one air outlet blows indoor air, and one air outlet blows outdoor fresh air. One or more air outlets among the three air outlets can be selected according to the needs of the user or the detection of the indoor environment. The plurality of air outlet modes make the vertical air conditioner indoor unit meet the needs of the user, thereby improving the comfort of the vertical air conditioner indoor unit.
[0047] In some embodiments of the present application, there are two air outlet columns 10, and a plurality of air outlets are formed on the front side of each air outlet column 10. The two air outlet columns 10 are symmetrically arranged about a vertical reference surface extending front to back. The symmetrically arranged air outlet columns 10 make the vertical air conditioner indoor unit have a stable and dignified appearance, which meets the aesthetic sense of Chinese people.
[0048] Further, in some embodiments of the present application, as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the two air outlet columns 10 are arranged at intervals to form an air guiding interval 20 between the two air outlet columns 10. When the two air outlet columns 10 blow air forward, the air in the air guiding interval 20 is driven to flow forward by the negative pressure, so that the air is mixed with the air blown out by the two air outlet columns 10, and the air temperature is increased when the air conditioner is cooling, so that the air is not too hard, and the effect of soft air is achieved.
[0049] In some embodiments of the present application, each air outlet column 10 is provided with two air outlets, which are a first air outlet 11 and a second air outlet 17. The second air outlet 17 is located on the side of the first air outlet 11 away from the other air outlet column 10. The first air outlet 11 and the second air outlet 17 are both vertical strips. The air outlet of the vertical strip can avoid temperature stratification in the room, so that the temperature in the room is uniform in the vertical direction.
[0050] In some embodiments of the present application, each air outlet column 10 is provided with an air outlet air duct and a bypass air duct. The front end of each air outlet air duct is connected to the edge of the corresponding first air outlet 11. Each bypass air duct communicates with the corresponding air outlet air duct. Each bypass air duct communicates with the corresponding second air outlet 17.
[0051] In some embodiments of the present application, each air outlet column 10 has a first air guide surface 32 connected to the edge of the corresponding first air outlet 11 away from the other air outlet column 10. The air conditioner indoor unit further comprises two air guide devices 12, each of which is arranged at the corresponding first air outlet 11 and is used to guide the air outlet in the width direction of the first air outlet 11 and can move to a wide-angle air guide position to define a wide-angle air duct with the first air guide surface 32.
[0052] In operation, the air guide device 12 on the air outlet column 10 rotates to guide the direction of the air blown out from the first air outlet 11. In particular, when the air guide device 12 rotates to the wide-angle air guide position, at least part of the air 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 away from the other air outlet column 10, thereby expanding the air outlet angle of the first air outlet 11, and further expanding the air outlet angle of the two air outlet columns 10, thereby meeting the user's demand for wide-angle air supply of the vertical air conditioner indoor unit.
[0053] In some embodiments of the present application, each air outlet column 10 comprises an air outlet main column and a guide body 30. The front side of the air outlet main column has a communication port extending along the length direction of the air outlet main column. The two length direction extending edges of the communication port are respectively a first edge and a second edge. The surface of the air outlet main column comprises a guide area connected to the first edge. The edge of the guide area opposite to the first edge is a third edge. The guide body 30 is arranged at the front side of the guide area. The guide body 30 comprises a first guide surface 32 arranged at the front side of the guide body 30, the first 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 obliquely in front of the fourth edge. The bypass air channel is between the guide body 30 and the guide area. The interval between the second edge and the end of the guide body 30 with the fourth edge is a first air outlet 11, and the interval between the third edge and the end of the guide body 30 with the fifth edge is a second air outlet 17. The bypass air channel communicates the communication port and the second air outlet 17.
[0054] In these embodiments, by arranging the air outlet main column and the guide body, two air outlets and the first guide surface are realized on each air outlet column 10, thereby achieving wide-angle air outlet of the standing air conditioner indoor unit and novel modeling at the same time.
[0055] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the second air outlet 17 is provided with an air outlet structure 18, which makes the air passing through the second air outlet 17 blow towards the front side close to the third edge of the second air outlet 17. That is, the wind entering the bypass air channel can also change the air outlet direction after passing through the air outlet structure 18, thereby expanding the air outlet angle.
[0056] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figure 4 , the air outlet structure 18 comprises a plurality of arc-shaped plates, the plurality of arc-shaped plates are arranged in parallel, and the plurality of arc-shaped plates protrude towards the front of the first air outlet 11, so that the air passing through the arc-shaped plates blows towards the front side close to the third edge of the second air outlet 17.
[0057] Of course, in other embodiments of the present application, the second air outlet 17 is provided with an air outlet structure 18, which makes the air passing through the second air outlet 17 blow towards the front of the second air outlet 17.
[0058] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figure 2 , an air inlet structure 19 is arranged at the inlet of the bypass air channel to disperse the wind passing through the inlet of the bypass air channel.
[0059] Further, in some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figure 2As shown, the air inlet structure 19 is a micro-perforated plate, and the micro-perforated plate is connected to the fourth edge and the first edge along two edges in the length direction. A part of the air outlet of the communication port is scattered by the micro-perforated plate to become a breeze, so that the air outlet is more "soft".
[0060] In some embodiments of the present application, the micro-holes are horizontally arranged.
[0061] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figure 2 As shown, the air guide body 30 further comprises a second air guide surface 31 at the rear side of the first air guide surface 32, and the first air guide surface is an arc surface arched away from the bypass air duct. The second air guide surface 31 has a planar region connected to the fourth edge, and the end of the planar region away from the first edge is in front of the fourth edge. The second air guide surface 31 can reduce air resistance, and the air entering the bypass air duct through the air inlet structure 19 can be more easily blown out through the air outlet structure 18.
[0062] In some embodiments of the present application, the air outlet structure 18, the air inlet structure 19 and the air guide body are integrally formed.
[0063] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figure 3 As shown, the air guide device 12 comprises at least one air guide plate, and 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 is on the front side of the first air guide surface 32. This arrangement can form 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 comprises two air guide plates. The two air guide plates are arranged along the width direction of the first air outlet 11.
[0064] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figure 3 As shown, the air outlet column 10 further comprises an air duct connected to the communication port, and the cross section of the air duct wall connected to the first edge at the first edge is a reference cross section. The air guide body is on the side of the reference cross section away from the first air outlet. This arrangement is conducive to wide-angle air guide and does not hinder the air outlet of the communication port.
[0065] In some embodiments of the present application, the width of the air guide interval 20 gradually decreases from back to front. The above arrangement of the air guide interval 20 is conducive to the air entering the rear side of the air guide interval 20 and also conducive to the air in the air guide interval 20 being blown out at a faster speed.
[0066] In some embodiments of the present application, the ratio of the distance d from the second edge to the vertical plane extending in the lateral direction on which the front end of the air outlet column 10 is located to the maximum thickness D of the air outlet column 10 in the front-rear 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 lateral direction on which the front end of the air outlet column 10 is located to the maximum thickness of the air outlet column 10 in the front-rear 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 lateral direction on which the front end of the air outlet column 10 is located to the maximum thickness of the air outlet column 10 in the front-rear direction is equal to 0.135.
[0067] In these embodiments, by setting the ratio of the distance d from the second edge to the vertical plane extending in the lateral direction on which the front end of the air outlet column 10 is located to the maximum thickness D of the air outlet column 10 in the front-rear direction, the first air outlet 11 is "fronted", so that the airflow blown out from the first air outlet 11 is more forward, and compared with the relative arrangement of the existing two first air outlets 11, this arrangement is beneficial to increase the air outlet angle of the air conditioner indoor unit to meet the needs of users.
[0068] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figure 9 the ratio of the distance h from the second edge to the third edge in the lateral direction to the maximum thickness H of the air outlet column 10 in the lateral 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 lateral direction to the maximum thickness H of the air outlet column 10 in the lateral 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 lateral direction to the maximum thickness H of the air outlet column 10 in the lateral direction is equal to 0.64.
[0069] In these embodiments, by setting the ratio of the distance h from the second edge to the third edge in the lateral direction to the maximum thickness H of the air outlet column 10 in the lateral direction, the air outlet range of the first air outlet 11 and the second air outlet 17 is ensured, thereby further expanding the air outlet range and air outlet angle of the air conditioner indoor unit.
[0070] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figure 9 the ratio of the width h1 of the first air outlet 11 to the maximum thickness H of the air outlet column 10 in the lateral 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 column 10 in the lateral direction is 0.36.
[0071] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figure 9As shown, the ratio of the width h2 of the second air outlet 17 to the maximum thickness H of the air outlet column 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 column 10 in the transverse direction is 0.19.
[0072] In some embodiments of the present application, the two vertical edges of the first air outlet 11 are respectively the second edge and the sixth edge, the sixth edge is on the side of the second edge away from the other air outlet column 10, and the sixth edge is on the front side 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 a1, which is greater than 40°. That is, the second edge is located obliquely behind the sixth edge. This arrangement makes the first air outlet 11 "front-mounted", so that the airflow blown out of the first air outlet 11 is more forward and can flow more to the sides. Compared with the prior art of two first air outlets arranged opposite to each other, this arrangement is beneficial to increasing the air outlet angle of the air conditioner indoor unit to meet the needs of users.
[0073] Preferably, in some embodiments of the present application, the angle a1 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.
[0074] In some embodiments of the present application, the position of the sixth edge can be the position where the air guide device 12 contacts the first air guide surface 32 when the air guide device 12 closes the first air outlet 11.
[0075] In some embodiments of the present application, the first air guide surface 32 is arc-shaped, which is more beneficial to wide-angle air supply.
[0076] In some embodiments of the present application, the air outlet column 10 includes a vertical plane extending in the transverse direction connected to the front edge of the first air guide surface 32, which is the most front end of the air outlet column 10, and the second air outlet 17 is arranged on the vertical plane.
[0077] In some embodiments of the present application, the inner surface of the air guide plate causes the airflow to flow away from the other air outlet column 10. This arrangement is also beneficial to expanding the air outlet angle of the first air outlet 11.
[0078] In some embodiments of the present application, the first air guide plate is close to the second edge. The first air guide plate and the second air guide plate can move to a preset position. The angle between the front end section of the inner surface of the first air guide plate and the vertical reference plane is a first angle. The angle between the front end section of the inner surface of the second air guide plate and the vertical reference plane is a second angle. At the preset position, the first angle is smaller than the second angle, and the second angle is greater than 60°.
[0079] In some embodiments of the present application, the air guide device 12 comprises a plurality of air guide plates, the front surface of each air guide plate is arc-shaped, and when the first air outlet 11 is closed, the second edge and the front surface of each air guide plate are on the same arc surface. This arrangement makes the appearance of the air conditioner indoor unit coordinated and beautiful.
[0080] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figure 10 , the first air guide plate is close to the second edge, and the angle between the tangent plane where the middle line of the front surface of the first air guide plate is located and the reference plane is a2, a2 is 40° to 90°, preferably a2 is 56°. The angle between the tangent plane where the middle line of the front surface of the second air guide plate is located and the reference plane is a3, a3 is between 70° and 90°, preferably a3 is 80°.
[0081] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figure 10 , the angle between the air outlet direction of the second air outlet 17 and the vertical reference plane is greater than 50°. Preferably, the angle is 70°. This arrangement further increases the air outlet angle of the air conditioner indoor unit.
[0082] Further, in some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figure 10 , the angle between the tangent plane at the front end edge of the windward surface of the arc-shaped plate and the vertical reference plane is greater than 50°. Preferably, the angle between the tangent plane at the front end edge of the windward surface of the arc-shaped plate and the vertical reference plane is 70°.
[0083] In some embodiments of the present application, each air outlet column is provided with an air inlet 16 on the side wall thereof, which communicates with the communication port. A fan is arranged in each air outlet column, which guides air into the air outlet column and blows out from the communication port. The fan is a cross-flow fan 14. At least one air outlet column is provided with a heat exchanger 15. When one of the two air outlet columns blows a heat exchange air flow, the heat exchange air flow, the non-heat exchange air flow and the air in the air guide interval 20 mix in front of the air conditioner indoor unit, so that the temperature of the mixed air flow is closer to the room temperature, thereby making the air outlet soft. When both of the two air outlet columns blow heat exchange air flow, the heat exchange air flow and the air in the air guide interval 20 mix in front of the air conditioner indoor unit, also making the air outlet soft.
[0084] In some embodiments of the present application, the air conditioner indoor unit has a plurality of air outlet modes. As shown in Figure 3 , the air guide device 12 closes the first air outlet 11, and the air passing through the communication port enters the bypass air duct through the air inlet structure 19 and blows out from the second air outlet 17 through the air outlet structure 18. This air outlet mode can be called a breeze mode. As shown in Figure 5As shown, the air guide device 12 extends in the front-rear direction, at this time the first air outlet 11 has the largest opening area, the air flow of the two first air outlets 11 drives the air in the air guide interval 20 to flow forward, at this time the air volume is the largest, this air flow mode can be called the maximum air volume mode. As shown, Figure 6 As shown, the air flow of the two first air outlets 11 is towards each other, the air flow of the two first air outlets 11 drives the air in the air guide interval 20 to flow forward, so that the wind speed after mixing is larger, which helps to send air to a long distance, this air flow mode can be called the long-distance air supply mode. As shown, Figure 7 As shown, the two air guide plates of the air guide device 12 are both inclined to the direction of the air guide body 30, the air flow of the two first air outlets 11 is both towards the direction away from each other, so that the air flow of the two first air outlets 11 is mainly towards the two sides, this air flow mode can be called the wide-angle ring air mode. As shown, Figure 8 As shown, the air guide plates of the air guide device 12 near the second edge extend in the front-rear direction, the air guide plate near the air guide body 30 forms a wide-angle air duct with the first air guide surface 32, so that the air flow angle through the first air outlet 11 is relatively large, this air flow mode can be called the wide-area uniform air mode. As shown, Figure 4 As shown, one of the air guide devices is closed and the corresponding air outlet column does not supply air, the other air guide device guides air, this air flow mode can be called the single-column air supply mode.
