[0014] The guide section has a guide cavity and an inlet and an outlet communicating with the guide cavity. It is disposed on the shielding section and the notch communicates with the inlet. As the shielding plate rotates, the outlet rotates to communicate with each second outlet section in sequence.

[0015] Optionally, the enclosure includes:

[0016] A cylindrical housing configured such that at least one second outlet is spaced apart circumferentially thereon;

[0017] The first bottom surface is located at one end of the cylindrical shell;

[0024] According to a second aspect of the present invention, the present invention also provides an air conditioner comprising an indoor unit as described in any of the preceding claims.

[0025] This invention provides an indoor unit and an air conditioner, comprising a casing, a connecting portion, a housing, a communicating portion, and a guiding assembly. The casing has at least one first outlet for discharging humidifying fluid thereto.

Because the casing of the indoor unit has at least one first outlet, the housing has at least one second outlet, and the connecting portion has at least one channel, the at least one channel is used to connect at least one first outlet and at least one second outlet, respectively. The outlet of the guiding component can move back and forth between each second outlet section to allow the outlet to connect sequentially with each second outlet section, so that the humidifying fluid flows out sequentially from each first outlet section. This diversifies the outflow direction of the humidifying fluid in the humidifying device and the indoor unit of the air conditioner, avoiding excessive local humidity in the space.

[0038] like Figures 1 to 9As shown, this embodiment provides an indoor unit 10 of an air conditioner, which includes a housing 100, a connecting portion 200, a casing 300, a communicating portion, and a guiding assembly 500. The housing 100 has at least one first outlet 110 for discharging humidifying fluid thereto. The connecting portion 200 is disposed within the housing 100 and has at least one channel 210 corresponding to each of the at least one first outlet 110. A first end of each channel 210 communicates with its corresponding first outlet 110, and the connecting portion 200 has a receiving groove 220 covering the second end of each channel 210. The casing 300 is disposed within the receiving groove 220 and has at least one second outlet 310 corresponding to each of the at least one channel 210. Each second outlet 310 communicates with the second end of its corresponding channel 210. An opening 410 of the communicating portion is located within the casing 300 to communicate with it, for conveying humidifying fluid into the casing 300 through the opening 410. The guide component 500 is disposed inside the housing 300, its inlet is connected to the opening 410, and its outlet 522 is movable back and forth between each second outlet 310 so that the outlet 522 can be connected to each second outlet 310 in sequence.

[0039] In this embodiment, the type of indoor unit 10 is not limited and can be selected as needed. For example, the indoor unit 10 can be a floor-standing indoor unit or a wall-mounted indoor unit, etc. As a specific embodiment, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the indoor unit 10 of the air conditioner is a wall-mounted air conditioner indoor unit 10.

[0040] In this embodiment, the specific location of at least one first outlet 110 on the housing 100 is not limited and can be selected as needed. For example, at least one first outlet 110 may be located on one or two of the upper, front, lower, left, and right sides of the housing 100. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, at least one first outlet portion 110 is provided on the front and right sides of the housing 100. Figure 3 As shown, at least one first outlet 110 is provided on the front side of the housing 100. Here, the front side of the housing 100 should be interpreted broadly to include the upper front side, the front side, and the lower front side of the housing 100, etc.

[0041] In this embodiment, the structure and shape of the first outlet portion 110 are not limited and can be selected as needed. For example, such as Figure 5 As shown, the first outlet section 110 includes a plurality of outlets arranged in an array. For example, as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the first outlet section 110 includes an opening. Clearly, this is merely exemplary and not the only one. For example, the first outlet section 110 may include multiple outlets arranged in a disorderly manner.

[0042] In this embodiment, at least one channel 210 is provided in a one-to-one correspondence with at least one first outlet 110, that is, each channel 210 corresponds to one first outlet 110. The first end of each channel 210 is connected to its corresponding first outlet 110, that is, each channel 210 is connected to its corresponding first outlet 110.

[0043] In this embodiment, the shape of the receiving groove 220 is not limited and can be selected as needed. As a specific embodiment, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the shape of the receiving groove 220 is adapted to the shape of the box body 300 so that the box body 300 is just snapped into the receiving groove 220, that is, the side wall of the box body 300 is in contact with the side wall of the receiving groove 220. Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the box 300 is cylindrical in shape, and the receiving groove 220 is cylindrical or semi-cylindrical in shape.

[0044] At least one second outlet 310 and at least one channel 210 are provided in a one-to-one correspondence, that is, each channel 210 corresponds to one second outlet 310. Each second outlet 310 is connected to the second end of its corresponding channel 210, that is, each channel 210 is connected to its corresponding second outlet 310.

[0045] In this embodiment, the shape of the opening 410 is not limited and can be selected as needed. As a specific embodiment, such as... Figure 9 As shown, the opening 410 is circular in shape. In this embodiment, the location of the opening 410 is not limited and can be selected as needed. For example, the opening 410 can be located on the upper, lower, front, rear, right, or left side of the housing 300.

[0046] In this embodiment, the movement mode of the outlet 522 of the guide component 500 is not limited and can be selected as needed. As a specific embodiment, such as... Figures 1 to 9 As shown, the guide component 500 rotates relative to the opening 410, causing its outlet 522 to rotate. Obviously, this is merely exemplary and not the only one. For example, the outlet 522 of the guide component 500 can move back and forth along a straight line.

[0047] In this embodiment, the structure and shape of the second outlet 310 are not limited and can be selected as needed. For example, Figure 5As shown, the second outlet section 310 includes a plurality of outlets arranged in an array. Obviously, this is merely exemplary and not the only one. For example, the second outlet section 310 may include a plurality of outlets arranged in a disordered manner. The second outlet section 310 may include a single outlet, etc.

[0048] In this embodiment, the type of humidifying fluid is not limited and can be selected as needed. For example, the humidifying fluid may include water vapor or water mist.

[0049] In this embodiment, the casing 100 of the indoor unit 10 of the air conditioner has at least a first outlet 110, the housing 300 has at least a second outlet 310, and the connecting portion 200 has at least a channel 210, which is used to connect at least one first outlet 110 and at least one second outlet 310 respectively. The outlet 522 of the guiding assembly 500 can move back and forth between each second outlet 310 so that the outlet 522 can sequentially communicate with each second outlet 310 so that the humidifying fluid flows out sequentially from each first outlet 110. This makes the outflow direction of the humidifying fluid of the humidifying device and the indoor unit 10 of the air conditioner more diversified, avoiding excessive local humidity in the space.

[0050] In some other embodiments, the guide component 500 is rotatably configured relative to the opening 410 so that the outlet 522 rotates to communicate sequentially with each of the second outlets 310. For example, Figure 1 and Figure 8 As shown, at least one second outlet 310 is spaced along the circumferential trajectory formed by the outlet 522 of the guide assembly 500 during rotation, so that the outlet 522 rotates to communicate with each second outlet 310 in sequence. Since the outlet 522 and the guide assembly 500 are rotatably arranged relative to the opening 410, the outlet 522 necessarily forms a circumferential trajectory during rotation. Since at least one first outlet 110 is spaced along the circumferential trajectory, when the guide assembly 500 rotates, its outlet 522 can rotate to... Figure 1 The first outlet 310 is connected to the second outlet 310 in sequence. This simplifies the control of the guide assembly 500, allowing the humidifying fluid to flow out sequentially from at least one first outlet 110.

[0051] In some other embodiments, the guide assembly 500 includes a baffle 510 and a guide portion 520. The baffle 510 is divided into a notch 511 and a blocking portion 512, and is rotatably covered by the opening 410 to allow humidifying fluid to flow out from a corresponding position at the opening 410 when the notch 511 rotates to a corresponding position at the opening 410. The guide portion 520 has a guide cavity 521 and an inlet and an outlet 522 communicating with the guide cavity 521, is disposed on the blocking portion 512 and allows the notch 511 to communicate with the inlet, and as the baffle 510 rotates, the outlet 522 rotates to communicate sequentially with each second outlet portion 310.

[0052] In this embodiment, the shapes of the baffle 510 and the opening 410 are not limited and can be selected as needed. For example, the shapes of the baffle 510 and the opening 410 can be circular, square, or other irregular shapes. In this embodiment, the shapes of the baffle 510 and the opening 410 only need to be compatible, that is, as shown... Figures 1 to 9 As shown, the baffle 510 always covers the opening 410 during rotation.

[0053] The baffle 510 rotatably covers the opening 410, that is, as Figures 1 to 9 As shown, the baffle 510 always covers the opening 410 during rotation.

[0054] The baffle 510 is divided into a notch 511 and a blocking portion 512, that is, as shown in the figure. Figures 1 to 9 As shown, the notch 511 and the blocking portion 512 combine to form a baffle 510. The notch 511 of the baffle 510 allows humidifying fluid to flow out from the notch 511, while the blocking portion 512 of the baffle 510 blocks the humidifying fluid, preventing it from flowing out from the blocking portion 512. Since the baffle 510 rotatably covers the opening 410, therefore, as... Figures 1 to 9 As shown, when the notch 511 rotates to the corresponding position of the opening 410, the humidifying fluid flows out from the corresponding position of the opening 410, while the remaining positions of the opening 410 are blocked by the blocking part 512 to prevent the humidifying fluid from flowing out. In this embodiment, the shapes of the guide part 520, the guide cavity 521, the inlet, and the outlet 522 are not limited and can be selected as needed.

[0055] In this embodiment, the guide component 500 is connected to the opening 410 through the baffle plate 510 and the guide portion 520. This structure is relatively simple, and the baffle plate 510 has a good blocking effect. That is, the blocking effect at the connection between the guide component 500 and the opening 410 is good, which can prevent leakage of humidifying fluid.

[0056] In some other embodiments, the housing 300 includes a cylindrical shell, a first bottom surface, and a second bottom surface. The cylindrical shell is configured such that at least one second outlet 310 is spaced circumferentially therebetween. The first bottom surface is located at one end of the cylindrical shell; the second bottom surface is located at the other end of the cylindrical shell to close both ends of the cylindrical shell. An opening 410 is located on either the first or second bottom surface, and the outlet 522 of the guide assembly 500 moves circumferentially along the cylindrical shell during rotation, the central axis of the cylindrical shell being perpendicular to the first and second bottom surfaces. Figures 1 to 9 As shown, this makes the structure of the indoor unit 10 of the air conditioner simple.

[0057] In some other embodiments, the opening 410 and the baffle 510 are both circular, with the center of the opening 410 and the center of the baffle 510 located on the straight line of the central axis, and the rotation axis 530 of the baffle 510 located on the straight line of the central axis. Figures 1 to 9 As shown, this allows the guide section 520 to be adapted to the housing 300, preventing the humidifying fluid from flowing out when the guide section 520 rotates between two adjacent second outlet sections 310, and also allowing the humidifying fluid to be accurately guided to each second outlet section 310.

[0058] In some other embodiments, the guide portion 520, when projected onto the first or second bottom surface, is shaped like a first fan, and its curved surface has an outlet 522 corresponding to at least one first outlet portion 110. For example... Figures 1 to 9 As shown, this allows the guide section 520 to be adapted to the housing 300, preventing the humidifying fluid from flowing out when the guide section 520 rotates between two adjacent second outlet sections 310, and also allowing the humidifying fluid to be accurately guided to each second outlet section 310.

[0059] In some other embodiments, the cylindrical shell has congruent circular shapes in its orthographic projection onto the first bottom surface and its orthographic projection onto the second bottom surface; the apex of the first sector is located on the straight line of the central axis, and its radius is equal to the radius of the circle to prevent the humidifying fluid from flowing out when the guide 520 is located between two adjacent second outlets 310, and also to accurately guide the humidifying fluid to each second outlet 310. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this allows the guide section 520 to be adapted to the housing 300, preventing the humidifying fluid from flowing out when the guide section 520 rotates between two adjacent second outlet sections 310, and also allowing the humidifying fluid to be accurately guided to each second outlet section 310.

[0060] In some other embodiments, the orthographic projection of the notch 511 onto the first or second bottom surface of the housing 300 is a second sector, with the vertices of the first and second sectors coinciding. The angular radians of the first and second sectors are equal. That is, the central angles corresponding to the first and second sectors are equal. This allows for a larger flow rate of the humidifying fluid.

[0061] In some other embodiments, at least one first outlet 110 is distributed on one of the front and lateral sides of the housing 100. A first bottom surface is the lower bottom surface of the cylindrical housing, and a second bottom surface is the upper bottom surface of the cylindrical housing. This allows the humidifying fluid to flow out from the front of the indoor unit 10, enabling rapid diffusion of the humidifying fluid within the room. It also allows the humidifying fluid to flow out from the lateral side of the indoor unit 10, enabling rapid diffusion of the humidifying fluid within the room, and allows the humidifying fluid to flow out from different directions, preventing excessive localized humidity within the room.

[0062] In some other embodiments, at least one first outlet 110 is located on the front side of the housing 100. A first bottom surface is the lower bottom surface of the cylindrical housing, and a second bottom surface is the upper bottom surface of the cylindrical housing. This allows the humidifying fluid to flow out from the front side of the indoor unit 10 of the air conditioner, enabling the humidifying fluid to quickly diffuse within the room.

[0063] In some other embodiments, the shape of the receiving groove 220 is adapted to the shape of the cylindrical shell. This prevents the humidifying fluid from flowing out.
