Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of air conditioning technology, and more specifically, to an air conditioner. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of technology, air conditioners have become a common choice to improve air quality in user spaces and thus enhance user comfort. Generally, air conditioners regulate the air quality of a space by directing airflow into the user's room.

[0003] However, in existing technologies, air conditioners typically use a relatively simple airflow guidance method, blowing air directly into the user's space, which reduces user comfort. Some air conditioners attempt to mitigate this by dispersing the airflow, but this affects the air volume output, thus impacting the cooling or heating efficiency. To meet user comfort requirements, existing air conditioners face a difficult choice. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The problem addressed by this invention is how to improve user comfort.

[0005] To address the aforementioned problems, the present invention provides an air conditioner, comprising an air conditioning body having an air outlet for discharging air; a fan disposed inside the air conditioning body for guiding airflow out of the air outlet; a first air guide plate connected to the air conditioning body and disposed at the air outlet; the first air guide plate having a first air outlet area, an isolation area disposed below the first air outlet area, and a second air outlet area disposed below the isolation area; the first air outlet area having a plurality of first air outlet units, and the second air outlet area having a plurality of second air outlet units; the air outlet area of ​​the first air outlet unit being larger than the air outlet area of ​​the second air outlet unit; and an air guide assembly rotatably disposed inside the air outlet for guiding airflow toward the first air guide plate; the air guide assembly corresponding to the area between the first air outlet area and the second air outlet area.

[0006] The advantages of the air conditioner provided by this invention compared to the prior art include:

[0007] During operation, the airflow generated by the fan is guided by the air guide assembly to the first air guide plate. Because the air guide assembly is located between the first and second air outlet zones, it divides the airflow into two parts: one part flows to the first air outlet zone, and the other part flows to the second air outlet zone. The first air outlet zone has multiple first air outlet units, and the second air outlet zone has multiple second air outlet units. Since the outlet area of ​​the second air outlet units is smaller than that of the first air outlet units, the airflow directed from below the first air guide plate is dispersed by the multiple second air outlet units, preventing the downward airflow from blowing directly onto the user. Simultaneously, because the outlet area of ​​the first air outlet units is larger, sufficient airflow is directed from above, ensuring adequate air conditioning for the user's space and improving air conditioning efficiency. Therefore, while improving air conditioning efficiency, it also prevents direct airflow onto the user, thereby enhancing user comfort.

[0008] In addition, since an isolation zone is set between the first air outlet zone and the second air outlet zone, the guide component can be easily rotated relative to the air conditioner body to the corresponding isolation zone, so that the air guide component is located between the first air outlet zone and the second air outlet zone. Since the air guide component blocks part of the first air guide plate, the blocked part does not need to have an air outlet structure. By setting an isolation zone, the number of air outlet structures can be reduced, thereby reducing the manufacturing difficulty of the first air guide plate; and it can also provide clear guidance for the rotation position control of the air guide component.

[0009] Optionally, the air guiding assembly includes a second air guiding plate and a third air guiding plate; both the second air guiding plate and the third air guiding plate are rotatably disposed inside the air conditioner body;

[0010] The second air guide plate is located above the third air guide plate; the second air guide plate is used to guide the airflow to the first air outlet area; the third air guide plate is used to guide the airflow to the second air outlet area; the second air guide plate corresponds to the side of the isolation area closer to the first air outlet area, and the third air guide plate corresponds to the side of the isolation area closer to the second air outlet area.

[0011] By installing a second and a third air guide plate inside the air outlet, air can be directed to the first and second air outlet areas respectively, ensuring the precision of zoned air supply to the first and second air outlet areas.

[0012] To reduce the impact of the second and third air guide plates on airflow, optionally, the rotation center axis of the second air guide plate and the rotation center axis of the third air guide plate are arranged collinearly. The side of the second air guide plate away from the third air guide plate guides airflow towards the first air outlet area, and the side of the third air guide plate away from the second air guide plate guides airflow towards the second air outlet area. By arranging the rotation center axes of the second and third air guide plates collinearly, the width between them can be reduced, thereby reducing the air-receiving area between them and preventing their influence on airflow.

[0013] Optionally, the third air guide plate includes a rotating shaft and a second air guide section, the second air guide section being used to guide airflow to the second air outlet area; the rotating shaft is rotatably engaged with the air conditioner body, and the second air guide section is connected to the rotating shaft;

[0014] The second air guide plate includes a first air guide portion and a first connecting portion. The first air guide portion is used to guide the airflow to the first air outlet area. The first connecting portion is rotatably engaged with the rotating shaft, and the first air guide portion is connected to the first connecting portion.

[0015] Optionally, the third air guide plate further includes a second connecting part, the second connecting part being rotatably connected to the rotating shaft, the second air guide part being connected to the second connecting part, and the second air guide part and the second connecting part being arranged at an angle;

[0016] The first air guide portion and the first connecting portion are arranged at an angle.

[0017] Optionally, the first connecting part includes an assembly and a connector; the assembly is disposed at one end of the connector, and the assembly has an assembly hole, and the rotating shaft is assembled into the assembly hole; the assembly also has a notch for the rotating shaft to be inserted into the assembly hole; the other end of the connector is connected to the first air guide.

[0018] The notch in the assembly allows for easy assembly onto the rotating shaft and easy removal of the assembly from the rotating shaft, thus facilitating the assembly and disassembly, and making it easier to replace and maintain the second air guide plate.

[0019] Optionally, the angle corresponding to the curvature of the notch should be greater than the maximum angle that can be formed between the second and third air guide plates, to prevent the third air guide plate from detaching from the rotating shaft after rotating relative to the rotating shaft, thereby improving the stability of the assembly on the rotating shaft.

[0020] Optionally, the air conditioner further includes a first driving device, which is connected to the air conditioner body and extends into the air outlet duct inside the air outlet. The first driving device is pulsatorically connected to the first air guide plate; and / or,

[0021] The air guide assembly includes at least two second drive devices; the two second drive devices are connected to the air conditioner body and extend into the air outlet duct inside the air outlet; the two second drive devices are respectively located on two opposing inner walls in the air outlet duct, one of the second drive devices is drivenly connected to the second air guide plate, and the other second drive device is drivenly connected to the third air guide plate.

[0022] The first air guide plate is driven to rotate by the first driving device, and the second air guide plate and the third air guide plate are driven by two second driving devices respectively. The first air guide plate, the second air guide plate and the third air guide plate can be driven by independent driving structures, which can facilitate independent control of the first air guide plate, the second air guide plate and the third air guide plate.

[0023] To prevent the isolation zone from occupying too much space and affecting the normal airflow from the air outlet, optionally, the area of ​​the isolation zone is less than or equal to 35% of the area of ​​the first air guide plate.

[0024] Optionally, the first air outlet unit is a first through hole opened in the first air outlet area; the second air outlet unit is a second through hole opened in the second air outlet area;

[0025] The diameter of the first through hole is larger than the diameter of the second through hole.

[0026] Optionally, the hole spacing between two adjacent first through holes is L1; the hole spacing between two adjacent second through holes is L2; ​​the hole diameter of the first through hole is D, and the hole diameter of the second through hole is d;

[0027] 0.9D≤L1≤1.2D; and / or, 0.9d≤L2≤1.2d.

[0028] Optionally, the first air outlet unit extends along a preset direction and has two oppositely arranged short sides in the preset direction; the distance between two adjacent first air outlet units along the preset direction is less than or equal to 0.5 mm. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0043] To make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0044] This application provides an air conditioner for installation in a designated space to provide air conditioning during operation, thereby improving user comfort. It should be noted that, generally, an air conditioner includes an indoor unit and an outdoor unit. The indoor unit is installed in the designated space, while the outdoor unit is located in a space outside the designated space. During operation, the indoor unit provides air conditioning to the designated space, thereby improving user comfort. For ease of description, "air conditioner 10" in the embodiments of this application refers to the indoor unit.

[0045] Please see Figure 1 The air conditioner 10 provides air conditioning to a designated space by blowing airflow into it. The air conditioner 10 includes an air conditioning unit 11, a heat exchanger 13, and a fan 12. The air conditioning unit 11 has an air outlet duct 14 with an air outlet 15. The heat exchanger 13 and the fan 12 are both located inside the air conditioning unit 11. The fan 12 draws in airflow from the designated space and guides it to the heat exchanger 13. The airflow passing through the heat exchanger 13 is then guided by the air outlet duct 14 and exited through the air outlet 15. In other words, guided by the fan 12, the airflow can be exited from the air outlet 15 into the designated space.

[0046] Please refer to the following: Figure 1 and Figure 2To enhance user comfort, in this embodiment, the air conditioner 10 further includes a first air guide plate 16 and an air guide assembly 17. The first air guide plate 16 is connected to the air conditioner body 11 and is located at the air outlet 15; when airflow exits from the air outlet 15, the airflow passes through the first air guide plate 16. The first air guide plate 16 is provided with a first air outlet area 110, an isolation area 130, and a second air outlet area 120. The isolation area 130 is located below the first air outlet area 110, and the second air outlet area 120 is located below the isolation area 130. It should be noted that the terms "above" and "upper part" in this application refer to the upward direction when the air conditioner 10 is normally installed in the specified space; the terms "below" and "lower part" refer to the downward direction when the air conditioner 10 is normally installed in the specified space. In other words, the arrangement of the first air outlet zone 110, the isolation zone 130, and the second air outlet zone 120 is as follows: when the air conditioner 10 is normally installed in the designated space, they are arranged on the first air guide plate 16 from top to bottom. The first air outlet zone 110 is provided with multiple first air outlet units 111, and the second air outlet zone 120 is provided with multiple second air outlet units 121. Furthermore, the air outlet area of ​​the first air outlet unit 111 is larger than the air outlet area of ​​the second air outlet unit 121. Additionally, the air guide assembly 17 is rotatably disposed inside the air outlet 15; in other words, the air guide assembly 17 is rotatably disposed inside the air outlet channel 14. The air guide assembly 17 is used to guide the airflow towards the first air guide plate 16. The air guide assembly 17 corresponds between the first air outlet zone 110 and the second air outlet zone 120.

[0047] As described above, during the operation of the air conditioner 10, the airflow generated by the fan 12 is guided by the air guide assembly 17 to the first air guide plate 16. Since the air guide assembly 17 is located between the first air outlet area 110 and the second air outlet area 120, the air guide assembly 17 can divide the airflow generated by the fan 12 into two parts, one part of the airflow flows to the first air outlet area 110, and the other part of the airflow flows to the second air outlet area 120. The first air outlet zone 110 is equipped with multiple first air outlet units 111, and the second air outlet zone 120 is equipped with multiple second air outlet units 121. Since the air outlet area of ​​the second air outlet units 121 is smaller than that of the first air outlet units 111, the airflow from below the first air guide plate 16 is dispersed by the multiple second air outlet units 121, preventing the downward airflow from blowing directly onto the user. Simultaneously, the larger air outlet area of ​​the first air outlet units 111 ensures sufficient airflow is delivered from above, thereby providing adequate air conditioning to the user's space and improving air conditioning efficiency. Thus, while improving air conditioning efficiency, direct airflow to the user is prevented, thereby enhancing user comfort.

[0048] It is worth noting that the fact that the air outlet area of ​​the first air outlet unit 111 is greater than the air outlet area of ​​the second air outlet unit 121 can be expressed as follows: the air outlet area of ​​any one first air outlet unit 111 is greater than the air outlet area of ​​any one second air outlet unit 121. Alternatively, it can be expressed as follows: the average air outlet area of ​​multiple first air outlet units 111 is greater than the average air outlet area of ​​multiple second air outlet units 121.

[0049] Alternatively, in some embodiments of this application, the total air outlet area of ​​the plurality of first air outlet units 111 is greater than the total air outlet area of ​​the plurality of second air outlet units 121. Here, the total air outlet area of ​​the plurality of first air outlet units 111 represents the sum of the air outlet areas of the plurality of first air outlet units 111; similarly, the total air outlet area of ​​the plurality of second air outlet units 121 represents the sum of the air outlet areas of the plurality of second air outlet units 121. Setting the total air outlet area of ​​the plurality of first air outlet units 111 to be greater than the total air outlet area of ​​the plurality of second air outlet units 121 allows the total air outlet area of ​​the plurality of first air outlet units 111 to account for a larger proportion, thereby ensuring that sufficient airflow is directed from the upper part of the first air guide plate 16. This enables the air conditioner 10 to direct sufficient airflow into the designated space through the first air outlet area 110, providing adequate air conditioning to the designated space and ensuring the efficiency of air conditioning.

[0050] To ensure effective airflow and provide adequate air conditioning to the designated space while preventing direct airflow from blowing on users, in some embodiments of this application, the ratio of the area of ​​the first air outlet zone 110 to the area of ​​the second air outlet zone 120 ranges from 0.7 to 1.5. In other words, the ratio of the area of ​​the first air outlet zone 110 to the area of ​​the second air outlet zone 120 can be 0.7, 0.8, 0.9, 1, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, or 1.5, etc.

[0051] In the embodiments of this application, the first air outlet unit 111 is a first through hole opened in the first air outlet area 110; the second air outlet unit 121 is a second through hole opened in the second air outlet area 120. In other words, multiple first through holes are opened in the first air outlet area 110, and multiple second through holes are opened in the second air outlet area 120. Optionally, in some embodiments of this application, both the first and second through holes are circular holes. Furthermore, the diameter of the first through hole is larger than the diameter of the second through hole, thereby making the air outlet area of ​​the first through hole larger than the air outlet area of ​​the second through hole. It is worth noting that the air outlet area of ​​the first through hole being larger than the air outlet area of ​​the second through hole means that the diameter of any one first through hole is larger than the diameter of any one second through hole; of course, it can also mean that the average diameter of multiple first through holes is larger than the average diameter of multiple second through holes.

[0052] Optionally, in some embodiments of this application, the diameter of the second through hole can range from 1.2mm to 2.2mm. In other words, the diameter of the second through hole can be 1.2mm, 1.3mm, 1.4mm, 1.5mm, 1.6mm, 1.7mm, 1.8mm, 1.9mm, 2mm, 2.1mm, or 2.2mm, etc. The ratio of the diameter of the first through hole to the diameter of the second through hole can range from 1.8 to 2.2. In other words, the ratio of the diameter of the first through hole to the diameter of the second through hole can be 1.8, 1.9, 2, 2.1, or 2.2, etc. Furthermore, the distance between two adjacent first through holes is defined as L1; the distance between two adjacent second through holes is defined as L2; ​​the diameter of the first through hole is defined as D; and the diameter of the second through hole is defined as d. Optionally, 0.9D ≤ L1 ≤ 1.2D; and / or, 0.9d ≤ L2 ≤ 1.2d. Wherein, “and / or” means that it is possible for only 0.9D≤L1≤1.2D, or only 0.9d≤L2≤1.2d; or it is possible for 0.9D≤L1≤1.2D, and 0.9d≤L2≤1.2d.

[0053] It should be understood that, please refer to the relevant documents. Figure 3 and Figure 4 In other embodiments of this application, at least one of the first through hole and the second through hole can also be a through hole of other shapes, such as rectangular, elliptical, floral, or other irregular shapes. It should be noted that when the first through hole is an elongated through hole, for example, when the first through hole is rectangular, elliptical, or elongated, its extension direction is the direction of its major axis. Based on this, in other embodiments of this application, the first air outlet unit 111 extends along a preset direction and has two oppositely arranged short sides in the preset direction. To ensure that the first air guide plate 16 has sufficient airflow, the distance between two adjacent first air outlet units 111 in the preset direction is less than or equal to 5mm. In other words, the distance between two adjacent first air outlet units 111 in the preset direction can be 5mm, 4mm, 3mm, 2mm, 1mm, 0mm, etc. Figure 3 or Figure 4 In the example case, the distance marked A is the distance between two adjacent first air outlet units 111 in the preset direction. Wherein, when the distance between two adjacent first air outlet units 111 in the preset direction is 0mm, it means that multiple first air outlet units 111 are in contact with each other; for example, when the first air outlet unit 111 is a first through hole, multiple first through holes are connected in the preset direction to form a groove-shaped through hole.

[0054] It should be understood that in other embodiments of this application, at least one of the first air outlet unit 111 and the second air outlet unit 121 may also adopt other forms of air outlet structure, such as channel pipe or other forms of channel.

[0055] Please continue reading Figure 1 and Figure 2 Since an isolation zone 130 is set between the first air outlet zone 110 and the second air outlet zone 120, the guide component can easily rotate relative to the air conditioning body 11 to the isolation zone 130, so that the air guide component 17 is located between the first air outlet zone 110 and the second air outlet zone 120. Since the air guide component 17 blocks part of the first air guide plate 16, the blocked part does not need to have an air outlet structure. By setting the isolation zone 130, the number of air outlet structures can be reduced, thereby reducing the manufacturing difficulty of the first air guide plate 16. In addition, it can also provide clear guidance for the rotation position control of the air guide component 17.

[0056] It should be noted that, in order to facilitate the airflow of the air guide assembly 17 to the first air outlet area 110 and the second air outlet area 120, the air guide assembly 17 has at least a first air guide surface 201 and a second air guide surface 301. The first air guide surface 201 is located above the air guide assembly 17, and the second air guide surface 301 is located below the air guide assembly 17. The first air guide surface 201 can guide the airflow to the first air outlet area 110, and the second air guide surface 301 can guide the airflow to the second air outlet area 120. Specifically, the air guide component 17 corresponds to the first air outlet area 110 and the second air outlet area 120. When the air guide component 17 is in the air guiding state to divide the airflow in the air outlet channel 14 into two parts and guide them to the first air outlet area 110 and the second air outlet area 120 respectively, the extension surface of the surface where the first air guide surface 201 is located passes through the isolation area 130, and the extension surface of the surface where the second air guide surface 301 is located also passes through the isolation area 130. Thus, the air guide component 17 corresponds to the isolation area 130, which makes the air guide component 17 correspond to the first air outlet area 110 and the second air outlet area 120.

[0057] Optionally, in some embodiments of this application, the area of ​​the isolation zone 130 is less than or equal to 35% of the area of ​​the first air guide plate 16. In other words, the ratio calculated by using the area of ​​the isolation zone 130 as the numerator and the area of ​​the first air guide plate 16 as the denominator is less than or equal to 35%. This results in a smaller area occupied by the isolation zone 130 on the first air guide plate 16, reducing the impact of the isolation zone 130 on the airflow of the first air guide plate 16. This ensures that the airflow has sufficient volume to be directed into the designated space after passing through the first air guide plate 16, thereby ensuring effective air conditioning to the designated space.

[0058] It should be understood that the ratio of the area of ​​the isolation zone 130 to the area of ​​the first air guide plate 16 can be 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, 5%, 6%, 7%, 8%, 9%, 10%, 11%, 12%, 13%, 14%, 15%, 16%, 17%, 18%, 19%, 20%, 21%, 22%, 23%, 24%, 25%, 26%, 27%, 28%, 29%, 30%, 31%, 32%, 33%, 34%, or 35%, etc.

[0059] In the embodiments of this application, in order to facilitate dividing the airflow into two parts and effectively guiding the two parts of the airflow to the first air outlet zone 110 and the second air outlet zone 120 respectively, optionally, please refer to Figure 5 The air guiding assembly 17 includes a second air guiding plate 200 and a third air guiding plate 300. Both the second air guiding plate 200 and the third air guiding plate 300 are rotatably disposed inside the air conditioning unit 11. The second air guiding plate 200 is located above the third air guiding plate 300. The second air guiding plate 200 guides airflow to the first air outlet zone 110, and the third air guiding plate 300 guides airflow to the second air outlet zone 120. Specifically, the first air guiding surface 201 is located on the side of the second air guiding plate 200 away from the third air guiding plate 300; the second air guiding surface 301 is located on the side of the third air guiding plate 300 away from the second air guiding plate 200. The second air guiding plate 200 corresponds to the side of the isolation zone 130 closest to the first air outlet zone 110, and the second air guiding plate 200 corresponds to the side of the isolation zone 130 closest to the second air outlet zone 120. It is worth noting that in some embodiments of this application, when the area of ​​the isolation zone 130 accounts for more than 15% of the area of ​​the first air guide plate 16, the second air guide plate 200 and the third air guide plate 300 can be used; in other words, when the area of ​​the isolation zone 130 accounts for less than 15% of the area of ​​the first air guide plate 16, a single air guide plate can also be used.

[0060] It should be noted that the second air guide plate 200 and the third air guide plate 300 mentioned above are used to guide the airflow to the first air outlet area 110 and the second air outlet area 120, respectively, and the second air guide plate 200 and the third air guide plate 300 correspond to both sides of the isolation area 130, indicating that both the second air guide plate 200 and the third air guide plate 300 are in working condition. Figure 5In other words, when both the second air guide plate 200 and the third air guide plate 300 are rotated to the working state, the second air guide plate 200 corresponds to the side of the isolation zone 130 closer to the first air outlet zone 110, and the second air guide plate 200 can guide the airflow to the first air outlet zone 110. The third air guide plate 300 corresponds to the side of the isolation zone 130 closer to the second air outlet zone 120, and the third air guide plate 300 can guide the airflow to the second air outlet zone 120. It should be understood that the second air guide plate 200 and the third air guide plate 300 can also have a powered-off state. When the second air guide plate 200 and the third air guide plate 300 are in the powered-off state, the second air guide plate 200 and the third air guide plate 300 can rotate relative to the air conditioning unit 11 to other positions, for example, such as... Figure 6 The second air guide plate 200 and the third air guide plate 300 are attached to each other and rotated away from the first air guide plate 16 to the inner side of the air outlet duct 14. For example, as... Figure 7 The second air guide plate 200 and the third air guide plate 300 are attached to each other and correspond to the isolation zone 130.

[0061] Furthermore, the second air guide plate 200, corresponding to the side of the isolation zone 130 near the first air outlet zone 110, is configured such that the extended surface of the surface containing the first air guide surface 201 passes through the side of the isolation zone 130 near the first air outlet zone 110, thereby allowing the first air guide surface 201 to directly guide the airflow to the first air outlet zone 110. Similarly, the third air guide plate 300, corresponding to the side of the isolation zone 130 near the second air outlet zone 120, is configured such that the extended surface of the surface containing the second air guide surface 301 passes through the side of the isolation zone 130 near the second air outlet zone 120, thereby allowing the second air guide surface 301 to directly guide the airflow to the second air outlet zone 120. Thus, by directly guiding the airflow to the first air outlet zone 110 and the second air outlet zone 120 through the second air guide plate 200 and the third air guide plate 300 respectively, the airflow can be precisely guided to efficiently complete the air supply and improve the air conditioning efficiency of the designated space.

[0062] In some embodiments, the second air guide plate 200 can directly contact the isolation zone 130, corresponding to the side of the isolation zone 130 closer to the first air outlet zone 110; similarly, the third air guide plate 300 can also directly contact the isolation zone 130, corresponding to the side of the isolation zone 130 closer to the second air outlet zone 120. It should be understood that in other embodiments of this application, the second air guide plate 200 and the third air guide plate 300 can also have a certain distance from the isolation zone 130, such that the extended surfaces of the first air guide surface 201 and the second air guide surface 301 pass through the isolation zone 130.

[0063] Please refer to the following: Figure 5 and Figure 8To reduce the impact of the second guide vane 200 and the third guide vane 300 on airflow, optionally, in the embodiments of this application, the rotation center axis of the second guide vane 200 and the rotation center axis of the third guide vane 300 are collinear. The side of the second guide vane 200 away from the third guide vane 300 is used to guide airflow towards the first air outlet area 110, and the side of the third guide vane 300 away from the second guide vane 200 is used to guide airflow towards the second air outlet area 120. By arranging the rotation center axes of the second guide vane 200 and the third guide vane 300 collinearly, the width between the second guide vane 200 and the third guide vane 300 can be reduced, thereby reducing the airflow area between them and preventing the influence of the second guide vane 200 and the third guide vane 300 on airflow.

[0064] In other words, in the embodiments of this application, when the second air guide plate 200 and the third air guide plate 300 are in operation, one side of the second air guide plate 200 is close to the isolation zone 130, and the rotation center axis of the second air guide plate 200 is located on the side of the second air guide plate 200 away from the isolation zone 130; similarly, one side of the third air guide plate 300 is close to the isolation zone 130, and the rotation center axis of the third air guide plate 300 is located on the side of the third air guide plate 300 away from the isolation zone 130. At this time, if the rotation center axes of the second air guide plate 200 and the third air guide plate 300 are collinear, the width between the side of the second air guide plate 200 away from the isolation zone 130 and the side of the third air guide plate 300 away from the isolation zone 130 is small, and an angle is formed between the second air guide plate 200 and the third air guide plate 300. Meanwhile, the side of the second air guide plate 200 and the third air guide plate 300 furthest from the isolation zone 130 is the side exposed to airflow. Because the width between the exposed sides of the second air guide plate 200 and the third air guide plate 300 is small, the air-receiving area formed by the second air guide plate 200 and the third air guide plate 300 is small, thereby reducing the impact on airflow. Furthermore, it reduces the airflow entering between the second air guide plate 200 and the third air guide plate 300, thereby reducing the loss of airflow from the outlet duct 14, ensuring sufficient airflow, and ensuring effective air conditioning in the designated space.

[0065] In some embodiments of this application, the third air guide plate 300 includes a rotating shaft 330 and a second air guide portion 310, the second air guide portion 310 being used to guide airflow to the second air outlet area 120. In other words, a second air guide surface 301 is disposed on the second air guide portion 310 to guide airflow to the second air outlet area 120. The rotating shaft 330 is rotatably engaged with the air conditioner body 11, and the second air guide portion 310 is connected to the rotating shaft 330. In other words, the rotation of the rotating shaft 330 can drive the second air guide portion 310 to rotate, so as to facilitate the second air guide portion 310 to rotate to the working state, and to facilitate the second air guide portion 310 to switch from the working state to the off state. The second air guide plate 200 includes a first air guide portion 220 and a first connecting portion 210, the first air guide portion 220 being used to guide airflow to the first air outlet area 110. In other words, a first air guide surface 201 is disposed on the first air guide portion 220 to guide airflow to the first air outlet area 110. The first connecting part 210 is rotatably engaged with the rotating shaft 330, and the first air guide part 220 is connected to the first connecting part 210. By rotatably engaging the first connecting part 210 with the rotating shaft 330, and then connecting the first air guide part 220 to the first connecting part 210, the rotation center axis of the first air guide plate 16 and the rotation center axis of the second air guide plate 200 can be collinearly arranged.

[0066] Optionally, the third air guide plate 300 further includes a second connecting portion 320, which is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft 330. A second air guide portion 310 is connected to the second connecting portion 320, and the second air guide portion 310 and the second connecting portion 320 are arranged at an angle. Similarly, the first connecting portion 210 and the first air guide portion 220 are arranged at an angle. By using the first connecting portion 210 and the second connecting portion 320 to drive the first air guide portion 220 and the second air guide portion 310 to rotate respectively, interference between the first air guide portion 220 and the second air guide portion 310 during rotation can be prevented, thereby facilitating the rotation of the first air guide portion 220 and the second air guide portion 310.

[0067] It should be understood that in other embodiments of this application, the first connecting part 210 and the second connecting part 320 may be omitted, so that the first air guide part 220 and the second air guide part 310 are directly connected to the rotating shaft 330.

[0068] Please refer to the following: Figure 9 and Figure 10To facilitate the assembly of the first connecting part 210 onto the rotating shaft 330, in this embodiment, the first connecting part 210 includes a mounting part 211 and a connecting member 212. The mounting part 211 is disposed at one end of the connecting member 212, and the other end of the connecting member 212 is connected to the first air guide part 220. The mounting part 211 has a mounting hole 2111. The rotating shaft 330 is assembled into the mounting hole 2111. Furthermore, the mounting part 211 has a notch 2112 for the rotating shaft 330 to be inserted into the mounting hole 2111. During assembly, the mounting part 211 can be mounted onto the rotating shaft 330 through the notch 2112, thereby allowing the rotating shaft 330 to be assembled into the mounting hole 2111 through the notch 2112, thus enabling the rotating shaft 330 and the mounting part 211 to be rotatably connected. Of course, by making a notch 2112 on the assembly 211, it is easy to assemble the assembly 211 onto the rotating shaft 330, and it is also easy to remove the assembly 211 from the rotating shaft 330. This makes it easy to assemble and disassemble the assembly 211, and to replace and maintain the second air guide plate 200.

[0069] Optionally, the angle corresponding to the curvature of the notch 2112 should be greater than the maximum angle that can be formed between the second air guide plate 200 and the third air guide plate 300, so as to prevent the third air guide plate 300 from coming off the rotating shaft 330 after rotating relative to the rotating shaft 330, thereby improving the stability of the assembly 211 assembled on the rotating shaft 330. Optionally, the angle corresponding to the curvature of the notch 2112 can be in the range of 75° to 105°. In other words, the angle corresponding to the curvature of the notch 2112 can be 75°, 76°, 77°, 78°, 79°, 80°, 81°, 82°, 83°, 84°, 85°, 86°, 87°, 88°, 89°, 90°, 91°, 92°, 93°, 94°, 95°, 96°, 97°, 98°, 99°, 100°, 101°, 102°, 103°, 104°, or 105°, etc.

[0070] Of course, in other embodiments of this application, the first connecting part 210 can also be rotatably mounted to the rotating shaft 330 in other ways. For example, before installing the rotating shaft 330, the rotating shaft 330 can be inserted into the mounting hole 2111 along its axial direction, and then the rotating shaft 330 can be mounted to the air conditioner body 11. In this case, the notch 2112 can be eliminated.

[0071] In the embodiments of this application, to facilitate airflow guidance, the first air guide 220 and the second air guide 310 can be configured as arc-shaped, which facilitates airflow guidance and provides a better airflow guiding effect. It should be understood that in other embodiments of this application, at least one of the first air guide 220 and the second air guide 310 can also be configured as a straight plate structure, such as... Figure 1 .

[0072] Additionally, please refer to the following: Figure 11 and Figure 12 In the embodiments of this application, the lower side of the first air guide plate 16 is rotatably connected to the air conditioner body 11. Based on this, if the airflow from the upper part of the first air guide plate 16 is insufficient to provide adequate air conditioning, the first air guide plate 16 can be controlled to flip downwards, thereby opening the upper part of the air outlet 15. This allows air to be directly expelled through the upper part of the air outlet 15, increasing the airflow and thus improving the air conditioning effect on the designated space. Of course, when the first air guide plate 16 is open, it is generally tilted upwards. Therefore, the first air guide plate 16 can guide the airflow exiting the air outlet 15, ensuring that the airflow directly exiting the air outlet 15 flows upwards, preventing the airflow from directly blowing on the user.

[0073] To facilitate control of the first air guide plate 16, the second air guide plate 200, and the third air guide plate 300, optionally, in an embodiment of this application, the air conditioner 10 further includes a first driving device 410. The first driving device 410 is connected to the air conditioner body 11 and extends into the air outlet duct 14 inside the air outlet 15. The first driving device 410 is tractively connected to the first air guide plate 16. In other words, the first driving device 410 can drive the first air guide plate 16 to rotate, thereby opening or blocking the air outlet 15.

[0074] Additionally, the air guide assembly 17 includes at least two second drive devices 420. The two second drive devices 420 are connected to the air conditioning body 11 and extend into the air outlet duct 14 inside the air outlet 15. The two second drive devices 420 are respectively located on two opposing inner walls within the air outlet duct 14. One second drive device 420 is driveably connected to the second air guide plate 200, and the other second drive device 420 is driveably connected to the third air guide plate 300. In other words, the second air guide plate 200 can be driven to rotate by one second drive device 420, and the third air guide plate 300 can be driven to rotate by the other second drive device 420.

[0075] That is, in the embodiments of this application, the first air guide plate 16, the second air guide plate 200 and the third air guide plate 300 can be driven by the first driving device 410 and the two second driving devices 420 respectively, so that the rotation of the first air guide plate 16, the second air guide plate 200 and the third air guide plate 300 can be controlled independently, so as to facilitate the independent control of the first air guide plate 16, the second air guide plate 200 and the third air guide plate 300.

[0076] It should be understood that in other embodiments, the independent control of the first air guide plate 16, the second air guide plate 200, and the third air guide plate 300 can also be achieved in other ways. For example, a single drive structure and three clutch structures can be used to achieve independent control of the first air guide plate 16, the second air guide plate 200, and the third air guide plate 300. Alternatively, in other embodiments, the rotation control of the second air guide plate 200 and the third air guide plate 300 can be controlled by a single drive structure, while the rotation control of the first air guide plate 16 can be controlled by another single drive structure.

[0077] In summary, during operation, the air conditioner 10 provided in this embodiment of the application has the airflow generated by the fan 12 guided by the air guide assembly 17 to the first air guide plate 16. Since the air guide assembly 17 is located between the first air outlet area 110 and the second air outlet area 120, the air guide assembly 17 can divide the airflow generated by the fan 12 into two parts, one part of the airflow flows to the first air outlet area 110, and the other part of the airflow flows to the second air outlet area 120. The first air outlet zone 110 is equipped with multiple first air outlet units 111, and the second air outlet zone 120 is equipped with multiple second air outlet units 121. Since the air outlet area of ​​the second air outlet units 121 is smaller than that of the first air outlet units 111, the airflow from below the first air guide plate 16 is dispersed by the multiple second air outlet units 121, preventing the downward airflow from blowing directly onto the user. Simultaneously, the larger air outlet area of ​​the first air outlet units 111 ensures sufficient airflow is delivered from above, thereby providing adequate air conditioning to the user's space and improving air conditioning efficiency. Thus, while improving air conditioning efficiency, direct airflow to the user is prevented, thereby enhancing user comfort. In addition, since an isolation zone 130 is set between the first air outlet zone 110 and the second air outlet zone 120, the guide component can be easily rotated relative to the air conditioning body 11 to the corresponding isolation zone 130, so that the air guide component 17 is located between the first air outlet zone 110 and the second air outlet zone 120. Since the air guide component 17 blocks part of the first air guide plate 16, the blocked part does not need to have an air outlet structure. By setting the isolation zone 130, the number of air outlet structures can be reduced, thereby reducing the manufacturing difficulty of the first air guide plate 16. Furthermore, it can also provide clear guidance for controlling the rotation position of the air guide component 17.

[0078] While the present invention has been disclosed above, it is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art can make various modifications and alterations without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention; therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be determined by the scope defined in the claims.
