[0037] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0038] This application provides an air conditioner indoor unit, such as... Figures 1-16 As shown, the indoor unit of the air conditioner includes a housing 100 with an air outlet 101 and an air guide assembly disposed at the air outlet 101. The air guide assembly includes a rotating arm 200 and an air guide plate 300. The rotating arm 200 is eccentrically rotatably mounted on the housing 100 between a first position and a second position. The air guide plate 300 is rotatably mounted on the rotating arm 200 relative to the rotating arm 200 to open or close the air outlet 101. When the rotating arm 200 is in the first position, neither the rotating arm 200 nor the air guide plate 300 protrudes beyond the surface of the housing 100. When the rotating arm 200 is in the second position, both the rotating arm 200 and the air guide plate 300 partially protrude beyond the surface of the housing 100. When the rotating arm 200 rotates, it will cause the air guide plate 300 to rotate simultaneously (i.e., the air guide plate 300 can rotate together with the rotating arm 200 around the rotation axis of the rotating arm 200), and the air guide plate 300 can also rotate independently relative to the rotating arm 200.

[0039] The air conditioner indoor unit provided in this application embodiment features a rotating arm 200 eccentrically rotatable on the casing 100 between a first and a second position, and an air guide plate 300 rotatably mounted on the rotating arm 200 relative to it to open or close the air outlet 101. This allows the rotating arm 200 to be controlled to rotate to either the first or second position and guide airflow through the air guide plate 300 during operation. When the rotating arm 200 is in the first position, neither the rotating arm 200 nor the air guide plate 300 protrudes beyond the surface of the casing 100, resulting in a more aesthetically pleasing overall appearance for the outdoor unit and meeting the needs of users with high aesthetic requirements. When the rotating arm 200 is in the second position, both the rotating arm 200 and the air guide plate 300 partially protrude beyond the surface of the casing 100, increasing the airflow when the air guide plate opens the air outlet 101, thus providing superior comfort and meeting the needs of users with high comfort requirements. The air conditioner indoor unit of this application is compatible with diverse scenarios and adapts to various user needs.

[0040] Specifically, the housing 100 is also provided with an air inlet 102, which can be located on the top of the housing 100; the housing 100 is provided with an indoor heat exchanger 510 and an air duct 103, and a fan 520 is provided in the air duct 103. When the fan 520 is running, it guides the airflow formed in the housing 100 to the air outlet 101 through the air duct 103.

[0041] Optional, combined Figure 5 , Figure 8 , Figure 11 and Figure 14 As shown, the rotation axis of the air guide plate 300 coincides with the center line of the rotating arm 200, and the rotation axis of the rotating arm 200 is located at one end near the width direction of the air outlet 101. This enables the rotating arm 200 to be eccentrically rotatably mounted on the housing 100 between a first position and a second position, and the air guide plate 300 to be rotatably mounted on the rotating arm 200 relative to the rotating arm 200.

[0042] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 5 , Figure 8 , Figure 11 and Figure 14 As shown, the cross-sectional shape of the rotating arm 200 is circular, and the cross-sectional shape of the air guide plate 300 is arc-shaped. Of course, in other embodiments, the cross-sectional shapes of the rotating arm 200 and the air guide plate 300 can also be other shapes, such as the cross-sectional shape of the rotating arm 200 being rectangular and the cross-sectional shape of the air guide plate 300 being straight. The specific shape can be set according to actual needs, and this application does not limit it.

[0043] Optional, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the air guiding assembly also includes an air guiding drive component 410, which is mounted on the rotating arm 200. The output end of the air guiding drive component 410 is connected to the air guiding plate 300 and can drive the air guiding plate 300 to rotate to open or close the air outlet 101. By setting the air guiding drive component 410, the rotation of the air guiding plate 300 can be electrically controlled, making the control mode of the air conditioning indoor unit more intelligent. Optionally, the air guiding drive component 410 can be an air guiding motor, with the motor shaft of the air guiding motor connected to the air guiding plate 300; in the electric control mode, the air guiding motor drives the air guiding plate 300 to rotate through its motor shaft to adjust the air guiding angle of the air guiding plate 300.

[0044] Optionally, the rotating arm 200 has a hollow structure, with the air guide drive component 410 located inside the rotating arm 200. A connecting shaft 310 is provided on the air guide plate 300, which passes through the rotating arm 200 and connects to the output end of the air guide drive component 410. This saves space occupied by the air guide drive component 410, making the overall structure of the air conditioner indoor unit more compact and aesthetically pleasing. It also helps protect the air guide drive component 410, reducing the risk of it being damaged by impact.

[0045] Optionally, the rotary arm 200 includes a rotary arm housing 210 and a rotary arm cover 220. The rotary arm housing 210 is provided with a receiving groove, and the rotary arm cover 220 covers the opening of the receiving groove. The rotary arm cover 220 is provided with a through hole 221. The air guide drive 410 is disposed in the receiving groove, and the air guide plate 300 is provided with a connecting shaft 310. The connecting shaft 310 passes through the through hole 221 and is connected to the output end of the air guide drive 410.

[0046] Optional, such as Figure 4 As shown, the receiving groove has a snap-fit ​​protrusion 211 on its wall, and the rotary arm cover 220 has a buckle 222. The buckle 222 engages with the snap-fit ​​protrusion 211, thereby detachably connecting the rotary arm housing 210 and the rotary arm cover 220 together, facilitating the installation and maintenance of the air guide drive component 410. Of course, in other embodiments, the rotary arm cover 220 and the rotary arm housing 210 can also be connected by screws, which also achieves a detachable connection between the rotary arm housing 210 and the rotary arm cover 220.

[0047] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figures 1-3 As shown, the housing 100 has connecting seats 110 on both sides of the air outlet 101. Two rotating arms 200 are respectively hinged to the connecting seats 110 on both sides and are symmetrically arranged. The two ends of the air guide plate 300 are respectively hinged to the two rotating arms 200. This makes the force on the air guide plate 300 more even, thus making the air guide plate 300 more stable when rotating. Specifically, the left and right sides of the air outlet 101 (left and right direction as shown) Figures 1-3(As shown by arrow A) Both are equipped with connecting seats 110, and the two rotating arms 200 are respectively hinged to the connecting seats 110 on both sides and arranged symmetrically. The two ends of the air guide plate 300 are respectively hinged to the two rotating arms 200.

[0048] Optional, such as Figure 3 As shown, the air guide assembly also includes a rotary arm drive 420, which is mounted on the connecting base 110. The output end of the rotary arm drive 420 is connected to the rotary arm 200 and can drive the rotary arm 200 to rotate between a first position and a second position. By setting the rotary arm drive 420, the rotation of the rotary arm 200 can be electrically controlled, making the control mode of the air conditioner indoor unit more intelligent. Optionally, the rotary arm drive 420 can be a rotary arm motor, with its motor shaft connected to the rotary arm 200. In electric control mode, the rotary arm motor drives the rotary arm 200 to rotate through its motor shaft, thereby switching the rotary arm 200 between the first position and the second position.

[0049] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 11 As shown, the cross-sectional shape of the rotating arm 200 is circular, and the cross-sectional shape of the air guide plate 300 is arc-shaped. The distance D between the rotation center of the rotating arm 200 and the rotation center of the air guide plate 300 is three-quarters of the diameter of the rotating arm 200. To ensure that the rotating arm 200 has a certain range of rotation, so that the air supply comfort is better when the rotating arm 200 is in the second position, and at the same time to ensure that the rotating arm drive 420 has enough space to be installed and fixed on the connecting seat 110, this application preferably sets the distance D between the rotation center of the rotating arm 200 and the rotation center of the air guide plate 300 to three-quarters of the diameter of the rotating arm 200.

[0050] Optional, such as Figures 11-16 As shown, the upper end of the air outlet 101 is provided with a first magnetic suction member 121, and the lower end of the air outlet 101 is provided with a limiting part 122 (as shown in the vertical direction). Figures 1-3 , Figure 5 and Figure 11 As shown by arrow B, the rotating arm 200 is provided with a second magnetic 230. When the rotating arm 200 is in the first position, the second magnetic 230 and the first magnetic 121 are magnetically attracted to each other to limit the rotating arm 200 to the first position. When the rotating arm 200 is in the second position, the second magnetic 230 and the first magnetic 121 are separated, and the limiting part 122 abuts against the rotating arm 200 to limit the rotating arm 200 to the second position. By setting the first magnetic 121, the second magnetic 230 and the limiting part 122 as described above, the rotation of the rotating arm 200 can be manually controlled.

[0051] In this configuration, one of the first magnetic chuck 121 and the second magnetic chuck 230 is a magnet and the other is an iron sheet, or both the first magnetic chuck 121 and the second magnetic chuck 230 are magnets. For example, the first magnetic chuck 121 is a magnet and the second magnetic chuck 230 is an iron sheet. When the rotating arm 200 is in the first position, the magnet and the iron sheet magnetically engage to maintain the stability of the rotating arm 200, ensuring that the rotating arm 200 will not rotate outward due to gravity (i.e., the rotating arm 200 is limited to the first position). When the user / installer needs to rotate the rotating arm 200 to the second position, they can use both hands to move the rotating arm 200, disengaging it from the magnetic engagement between the magnet and the iron sheet. Simultaneously, the limiting part 122 supports the rotating arm 200, limiting it to the second position.

[0052] In some embodiments of this application, the indoor unit of the air conditioner has a cooling mode and a heating mode. The indoor unit is configured such that, when the rotating arm 200 is in a first position, in cooling mode, the air guide plate 300 rotates downwards by a first preset angle to direct the cold air flow upwards (e.g., when the rotating arm 200 is in a first position). Figure 6 and Figure 12 As shown), in heating mode, the air guide plate 300 rotates upward at a second preset angle to direct the hot air flow downward (as shown). Figure 7 and Figure 13 (As shown); When the rotating arm 200 is in the second position, in cooling mode, the air guide plate 300 rotates downwards by a third preset angle to direct the cold air flow upwards (as shown). Figure 9 and Figure 15 As shown), in heating mode, the air guide plate 300 rotates upward at a fourth preset angle to direct the hot air downward (as shown). Figure 10 and Figure 16 As shown), the third preset angle is greater than or equal to the first preset angle, and the fourth preset angle is greater than or equal to the second preset angle.

[0053] Optionally, the rotation angle difference between the first position and the second position of the swivel arm 200 is 30° to 50°, the first preset angle is 25° to 60°, the second preset angle is 35° to 75°, the third preset angle is 25° to 75°, and the fourth preset angle is 35° to 85°.

[0054] The various operating modes of the air conditioner indoor unit of this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0055] For ease of explanation, the rotation angle of the rotating arm 200 in the first position is set to 0°, and the rotation angle when rotating from the first position to the second position is -30° to -50°, for example, it can rotate -30°, -40°, or -50°, etc. (using...) Figures 5-16 Using the perspective as a reference, clockwise rotation is +, and counterclockwise rotation is -). When the rotating arm 200 is in the first position, as... Figure 5 and Figure 11As shown, when the rotation angle of the air guide plate 300 is 0°, the air guide plate 300 is in the state of closing the air outlet 101; as Figure 6 and Figure 12 As shown, in cooling mode, the rotation angle of the air guide plate 300 is -25° to -60°, for example, it can rotate -25°, -35°, ~45°, or -60°, etc. Figure 6 This is the state when rotated -25°. Figure 12 (This is the state when rotated -45°), to open the air outlet 101 and direct the cold air upwards; as... Figure 7 and Figure 13 As shown, in heating mode, the rotation angle of the air guide plate 300 is 35° to 75°, for example, it can rotate 35°, 40°, 55°, 65° or 75°, etc. Figure 7 This is the state when rotated 35°. Figure 13 (This is the state when rotated 40°) to open the air outlet 101 and direct the hot air downwards. When the rotary arm 200 is in the second position, as... Figure 8 As shown, when the air guide plate 300 rotates at 0°, the air guide plate 300 is in the state of closing the air outlet 101; as Figure 9 and Figure 15 As shown, in cooling mode, the rotation angle of the air guide plate 300 is -25° to -75°, for example, it can rotate to -25°, -30°, ~45°, -65°, or -75°, etc. Figure 9 This is the state when rotated -45°. Figure 15 (This is the state when rotated -30°), to open the air outlet 101 and direct the cold air upwards; as... Figure 10 and Figure 16 As shown, in heating mode, the rotation angle of the air guide plate 300 is 35° to 85°, for example, it can rotate 35°, 40°, 55°, 65°, 75°, or 85°, etc. Figure 10 This is the state when rotated 40°. Figure 16 (When rotated 35°), open the air outlet 101 and direct the hot air downwards.

[0056] When the rotary arm 200 is in the first position and the air guide plate 300 opens the air outlet 101, the air gap between the air guide plate 300 and the air outlet 101 in the cooling mode is Y1 (e.g., Figure 6 and Figure 12 As shown), in heating mode, the air gap between the air guide plate 300 and the air outlet 101 is X1 (as shown). Figure 7 and Figure 13 As shown), in this state, the overall appearance of the indoor unit of the air conditioner is better, and the cooling and heating comfort performance meets basic requirements, but the comfort level is not optimal; when the swivel arm 200 is in the second position and the air guide plate 300 opens the air outlet 101, the air gap between the air guide plate 300 and the air outlet 101 in the cooling mode is Y2 (as shown). Figure 9 and Figure 15 As shown), in heating mode, the air gap between the air guide plate 300 and the air outlet 101 is X2 (as shown). Figure 10 and Figure 16 As shown in the diagram, the air guide plate 300 protrudes beyond the surface of the casing 100. In this state, X2 is greater than X1, and Y2 is greater than Y1, which is more conducive to air delivery and makes the indoor unit of the air conditioner more comfortable. Users can adjust the state of the rotating arm 200 and the air guide plate 300 according to their own preferences to meet the different needs of different users for appearance and comfort.
