The air volume adjustment mechanism 3 is used to change the width of at least one of the first air inlet 30 and the second air inlet 40.

[0038] Through the above technical solution, when the indoor unit provided by the present disclosure is in use, the airflow can enter the first air outlet channel 10 through the first air inlet 30, and enter the second air outlet channel 20 through the second air inlet 40, and then blow out the first air outlet channel 10 and the second air outlet channel 20 respectively. Among them, the air volume adjustment mechanism 3 can change the width of the first air inlet 30, so that the air volume of the first air outlet channel 10 can be adjusted, and thus the air volume of the first air outlet channel 10 can be adjusted; similarly, the air volume adjustment mechanism 3 can also change the width of the second air inlet 40, so that the air volume of the second air outlet channel 20 can be adjusted, and thus the air volume of the second air outlet channel 20 can be adjusted. Therefore, by changing the width of at least one of the first air inlet 30 and the second air inlet 40, the air volume of the first air outlet channel 10 and the air volume of the second air outlet channel 20 can be relatively changed, thereby improving the diversity of the indoor unit's air outlet, so as to meet the user's use requirements for different air volumes of the first air outlet channel 10 and the second air outlet channel 20.

It should be noted that the present disclosure does not limit the specific activity mode of the first adjustment plate 31 , and the activity mode can be set to change the width of the first air inlet 30 .

[0041] In other embodiments of the present disclosure, reference Figures 1 to 10 As shown in , the air volume adjustment mechanism 3 may include a first adjustment plate 31, the first adjustment plate 31 has a first top end 311, the first top end 311 may surround the first air inlet 30 with the tip of the diverter cone 2, wherein the first adjustment plate 31 may be movably arranged on the air outlet frame 1 to change the width of the first air inlet 30. In this way, when the first adjustment plate 31 is active, it may drive the first top end 311 to move, thereby changing the position of the first top end 311, thereby changing the width of the first air inlet 30, here, it can be understood that the width of the first air inlet 30 is the interval between the first top end 311 and the tip of the diverter cone 2.

[0042] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, reference Figures 1 to 10 As shown in , the air volume adjustment mechanism 3 may include a second adjustment plate 32, the second adjustment plate 32 has a second top end 321, and the second top end 321 may form a second air inlet 40 with the air outlet frame 1. For example, the air outlet frame 1 may include a second wall plate 12 for forming a second air outlet channel 20, and the second top end 321 may form a second air inlet 40 with the second wall plate 12, wherein the second adjustment plate 32 may be movably arranged on the diverter cone 2 to change the width of the second air inlet 40. In this way, when the second adjustment plate 32 is active, it can drive the second top end 321 to move, thereby changing the position of the second top end 321, thereby changing the width of the second air inlet 40. Here, it can be understood that the width of the second air inlet 40 is the minimum interval between the second top end 321 and the second wall plate 12. When the second adjustment plate 32 is active, it can change the minimum interval between the second top end 321 and the second wall plate 12, thereby changing the width of the second air inlet 40. It should be noted that the present disclosure does not limit the specific activity mode of the second adjustment plate 32 , and the activity mode can be set to change the width of the first air inlet 30 .

[0043] In other embodiments of the present disclosure, reference Figures 1 to 10 As shown in , the air volume adjustment mechanism 3 may include a second adjustment plate 32, the second adjustment plate 32 has a second top end 321, and the second top end 321 can form a second air inlet 40 with the tip of the diverter cone 2, wherein the second adjustment plate 32 can be movably arranged on the air outlet frame 1 to change the width of the second air inlet 40. In this way, when the second adjustment plate 32 is active, it can drive the second top end 321 to move, thereby changing the position of the second top end 321, thereby changing the width of the second air inlet 40. Here, it can be understood that the width of the second air inlet 40 is the interval between the second top end 321 and the tip of the diverter cone 2. In some embodiments, the diverter cone 2 may include a first diverter plate 21 for forming a first air outlet channel 10 and a second diverter plate 22 for forming a second air outlet channel 20, the first diverter plate 21 and the second diverter plate 22 form a tip, and the second adjustment plate 32 can be movably arranged on the air outlet frame 1 along a plate thickness direction perpendicular to the second diverter plate 22, or the second adjustment plate 32 can also be rotatably arranged on the air outlet frame 1 around an axis extending in the up and down directions, and the present disclosure does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0044] In the following, the present disclosure will be described exemplarily by taking the example that the first adjustment plate 31 is movably disposed on the splitter cone 2 and the second adjustment plate 32 is movably disposed on the splitter cone 2 .

[0045] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, reference Figures 1 to 8As shown in , the first adjustment plate 31 and the second adjustment plate 32 can be movably connected to the splitter cone 2, that is, the air volume adjustment mechanism 3 can change the width of the first air inlet 30 and the width of the second air inlet 40 respectively. In some embodiments, the first adjustment plate 31 and the second adjustment plate 32 can be fixedly connected, that is, when the width of the first air inlet 30 and the width of the second air inlet 40 are changed, the first adjustment plate 31 and the second adjustment plate 32 remain relatively still, and the two move synchronously. The advantage of such a setting is that the power structure of the air volume adjustment mechanism 3 can be simplified, that is, only one set of power structure is arranged to achieve the simultaneous change of the width of the first air inlet 30 and the width of the second air inlet 40, thereby greatly reducing the complexity of the air volume adjustment mechanism 3, reducing the failure rate of the air volume adjustment mechanism 3, and reducing the cost of the indoor unit, and improving the reliability of the indoor unit. It should be noted that the present disclosure sets the first adjustment plate 31 and the second adjustment plate 32 as a fixed connection, aiming to make the two move synchronously. It can be understood that the fixed connection method can be a detachable fixed connection, or it can be an integral molding, welding, bonding and other fixed connection. The present disclosure does not impose too many restrictions on this.

[0046] In other embodiments of the present disclosure, reference Fig. 9 and Fig.10 As shown in , the first adjustment plate 31 and the second adjustment plate 32 can be movably connected to the diverter cone 2, wherein the first adjustment plate 31 and the second adjustment plate 32 are separately arranged, that is, the movement of the first adjustment plate 31 and the movement of the second adjustment plate 32 do not affect each other and are independent of each other. The advantage of such an arrangement is that the change in the width of the first air inlet 30 and the change in the width of the second air inlet 40 do not affect each other, which allows the user to change the width of the first air inlet 30 or the width of the second air inlet 40 separately to improve the diversity of the indoor unit air outlet. Among them, the first top 311 can have a first initial position. In the first initial position, the first top 311 can coincide with the tip of the diverter cone 2, and the first adjustment plate 31 can be parallel and attached to the first diverter plate 21 of the diverter cone 2. In this embodiment, reference Fig.10 As shown in FIG. , the first adjustment plate 31 can move in a direction perpendicular to the thickness of the first diverter plate 21, or, Fig. 9 As shown in , the first adjustment plate 31 can also be rotatably arranged on the first splitter plate 21 around an axis extending in the up-down direction. Similarly, the second top 321 can have a second initial position, in which the second top 321 can coincide with the tip of the splitter cone 2, and the second adjustment plate 32 can be parallel to and attached to the second splitter plate 22 of the splitter cone 2. In this embodiment, reference Fig.10 As shown in FIG. , the second adjustment plate 32 can move in a direction perpendicular to the thickness of the second diverter plate 22, or, Fig. 9As shown in FIG. 1 , the second adjustment plate 32 may also be rotatably disposed on the second diverter plate 22 around an axis extending in the up-down direction.

[0047] In some embodiments, in an embodiment where the first adjustment plate 31 is fixedly connected to the second adjustment plate 32, reference Figures 1 to 7 As shown in , the first adjustment plate 31 and the second adjustment plate 32 can be arranged at an angle, and the first top 311 can overlap with the second top 321. The advantage of such an arrangement is that, since the first top 311 overlaps with the second top 321, the movement trajectories of the first top 311 and the second top 321 are the same, so that the power structure of the air volume adjustment mechanism 3 only needs to adjust the position of the first top 311 or the second top 321, thereby reducing the difficulty of adjusting the width of the first air inlet 30 and the width of the second air inlet 40, and reducing the possibility of the first adjustment plate 31 interfering with other parts of the indoor unit and the possibility of the second adjustment plate 32 interfering with other parts of the indoor unit when the movement trajectories of the first top 311 and the second top 321 are different.

[0048] In some embodiments, in the embodiment where the first top 311 and the second top 321 coincide with each other, Figures 1 to 7 As shown in the figure, the air outlet frame 1 is arranged at the rear side of the diverter cone 2, the first air outlet channel 10 extends obliquely from the back to the front and to the left, and the second air outlet channel 20 extends obliquely from the back to the front and to the right, and the first adjustment plate 31 and the second adjustment plate 32 can be movably arranged on the diverter cone 2 along the front-to-back direction. Here, the air outlet frame 1 may include a first wall panel 11 for enclosing a first air outlet channel 10 and a second wall panel 12 for enclosing a second air outlet channel 20. Since the first air outlet channel 10 extends obliquely from back to front to the left, the first wall panel 11 also extends obliquely from back to front to the left, and the second wall panel 12 also extends obliquely from back to front to the right. In this way, when the first adjustment plate 31 and the second adjustment plate 32 move forward and backward, the first top end 311 and the second top end 321 also move forward and backward. Based on the setting that the extension direction of the first wall panel 11 and the extension direction of the second wall panel 12 form an angle with the front and rear direction, when the first top end 311 and the second top end 321 move forward and backward, the width of the first air inlet 30 and the width of the second air inlet 40 can be adjusted.

[0049] In some other embodiments, in the embodiment where the first adjustment plate 31 is fixedly connected to the second adjustment plate 32, Figure 8As shown in , the first adjustment plate 31 and the second adjustment plate 32 can be arranged at an angle, wherein the diverter cone 2 can include a first diverter plate 21 for enclosing the first air outlet channel 10 and a second diverter plate 22 for enclosing the second air outlet channel 20, the extension direction of the first adjustment plate 31 can be the same as the extension direction of the second diverter plate 22, and the extension direction of the second adjustment plate 32 can be the same as the extension direction of the first diverter plate 21, at this time, the first top end 311 is spaced from the second top end 321. When the first adjustment plate 31 and the second adjustment plate 32 are in the third initial position, the end where the first adjustment plate 31 and the second adjustment plate 32 intersect can coincide with the tip of the diverter cone 2, the air outlet frame 1 is arranged at the rear side of the diverter cone 2, the first air outlet channel 10 extends obliquely from the back to the front to the left, and the second air outlet channel 20 extends obliquely from the back to the front to the right, and the first adjustment plate 31 and the second adjustment plate 32 can be movably arranged on the diverter cone 2 along the front-to-back direction. Here, the air outlet frame 1 may include a first wall panel 11 for enclosing a first air outlet channel 10 and a second wall panel 12 for enclosing a second air outlet channel 20. Since the first air outlet channel 10 extends obliquely from back to front to the left, the first wall panel 11 also extends obliquely from back to front to the left, and the second wall panel 12 also extends obliquely from back to front to the right. In this way, when the first adjustment plate 31 and the second adjustment plate 32 move forward and backward, the first top 311 and the second top 321 move forward and backward along their respective motion trajectories, respectively. Based on the setting that the extension direction of the first wall panel 11 and the extension direction of the second wall panel 12 form an angle with the front-to-back direction, the first top 311 and the second top 321 can adjust the width of the first air inlet 30 and the width of the second air inlet 40 when they move forward and backward. Of course, in other embodiments, in an implementation mode where the first top 311 is spaced from the second top 321, the first adjustment plate 31 and the second adjustment plate 32 can be rotatably arranged around the tip of the splitter cone 2 at the same time, thereby also being able to adjust the width of the first air inlet 30 and the width of the second air inlet 40.

[0050] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, reference Figures 1 to 6As shown in , in an embodiment in which the first top 311 coincides with the second top 321 and moves in the front-to-back direction, the diverter cone 2 may include a first diverter plate 21 and a second diverter plate 22 that are set at an angle, the first diverter plate 21 is parallel to the first adjustment plate 31, and the second diverter plate 22 is parallel to the second adjustment plate 32; the first top 311 and the second top 321 have an initial position, in which the first diverter plate 21 fits the first adjustment plate 31, and the second diverter plate 22 fits the second adjustment plate 32. In this way, it is possible to avoid the formation of a gap between the first adjustment plate 31 and the first diverter plate 21, and further, it is possible to avoid the formation of eddy currents at the gap, thereby reducing the noise during operation of the indoor unit. In addition, it is possible to avoid the entry of cold air into the gap and the generation of condensation. Similarly, the second diverter plate 22 fits the second adjustment plate 32, and further, it is possible to avoid the formation of a gap between the two. Of course, in other embodiments, refer to Figure 7 As shown in the figure, the first adjustment plate 31 and the second adjustment plate 32 can also be constructed as a part of the diverter cone 2, and the first top 311 and the second top 321 have an initial position. In the initial position, the first adjustment plate 31 is aligned with the first diverter plate 21, and the second adjustment plate 32 is aligned with the second diverter plate 22, and the first top 311, the second top 321 and the tip of the diverter cone 2 coincide with each other.

[0051] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, reference Figures 4 to 6 As shown in , the first adjustment plate 31 has a first end 312 arranged opposite to the first top 311, and the second adjustment plate 32 has a second end 322 arranged opposite to the second top 321. The first end 312 and the second end 322 can be connected to a baffle 33, which extends in the front-to-back direction and extends into the splitter cone 2 through the first splitter plate 21 or the second splitter plate 22. The advantage of such a setting is that when the first adjustment plate 31 and the second adjustment plate 32 move, the baffle 33 can prevent the airflow from entering the portion between the first adjustment plate 31 and the first splitter plate 21, and prevent the airflow from entering the portion between the second adjustment plate 32 and the second splitter plate 22, so that the generation of vortices between the first adjustment plate 31 and the first splitter plate 21 and the generation of vortices between the second adjustment plate 32 and the second splitter plate 22 can be avoided. In some embodiments, a first seal may be provided between the baffle 33 and the first splitter plate 21 or the second splitter plate 22 , and the first seal may prevent the gas flow from entering the splitter cone 2 through the connection between the two, or from leaking through the splitter cone 2 .

[0052] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, reference Figures 1 to 8As shown in , the air volume adjustment mechanism 3 includes a driving member and a transmission structure, that is, the power structure of the air volume adjustment mechanism 3 may include a driving member and a transmission structure, the driving member may be configured as a motor, and the transmission structure may include a meshing gear 34 and a rack 35, the gear 34 is in transmission connection with the driving member, the rack 35 extends in the front-to-back direction, one of the driving member and the rack 35 is connected to the diverter cone 2, and the other is connected between the first adjustment plate 31 and the second adjustment plate 32. In this way, when the rack 35 is connected between the first adjustment plate 31 and the second adjustment plate 32, when the gear 34 rotates, the rack 35 can be driven to move forward and backward, thereby, the first adjustment plate 31 and the second adjustment plate 32 can be driven to move forward and backward. In this embodiment, a second seal can be provided between the rack 35 and the diverter cone 2, and the second seal can prevent the airflow from accidentally entering the inside of the diverter cone 2 or leaking through the diverter cone 2. Of course, the transmission structure can also be constructed as any linear transmission device, for example, the transmission structure can include a lead screw and a nut, the lead screw is connected to the driving member, and the nut is connected between the first adjustment plate 31 and the second adjustment plate 32. Alternatively, the transmission structure can also be constructed as a telescopic cylinder, the telescopic rod of the telescopic cylinder extends in the front-to-back direction, and the telescopic rod is connected between the first adjustment plate 31 and the second adjustment plate 32.

[0053] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, reference Figures 1 to 6 As shown in the figure, the indoor unit may include an air-inducing structure 4, which has an air-inducing duct 41. The air-inducing duct 41 is arranged upstream of the first air inlet 30 and the second air inlet 40, and extends obliquely from back to front to the left. In this way, when the width of the first air inlet 30 is equal to the width of the second air inlet 40, since the air-inducing duct 41 extends obliquely from back to front to the left, the air flow will flow more into the first air outlet channel 10.

[0054] Among them, the first top 311 and the second top 321 can have an initial position and a maximum displacement position. When the first top 311 and the second top 321 move from the initial position to the maximum displacement position, the width of the first air inlet 30 gradually decreases, and the width of the second air inlet 40 first gradually decreases and then gradually increases. That is to say, when the first top 311 and the second top 321 move backward, that is, when they move in a direction close to the air duct, the air intake volume of the first air inlet 30 can gradually decrease, and the air intake volume of the second air inlet 40 can first gradually decrease and then gradually increase. Therefore, combined with the extension direction of the air duct 41, the first air outlet channel 10 and the second air outlet channel 20 disclosed in the present invention can have more air outlet methods.

[0055] For example, in some embodiments, reference Figure 2 and Figure 5As shown in , the air volume adjustment mechanism 3 can have a first state, in which the width of the first air inlet 30 is smaller than the width of the second air inlet 40, and the difference between the width of the first air inlet 30 and the width of the second air inlet 40 is a preset difference, so that the air volume of the first air inlet 30 is equal to the air volume of the second air inlet 40. In this way, the air volume of the first air outlet channel 10 can be equal to the air volume of the second air outlet channel 20, and uniform air outlet of the first air outlet channel 10 and the second air outlet channel 20 is achieved.

[0056] For example, in some embodiments, reference Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown in , the air volume adjustment mechanism 3 can have a second state, in which the width of the first air inlet 30 is smaller than the width of the second air inlet 40, and the difference between the width of the first air inlet 30 and the width of the second air inlet 40 is greater than a preset difference, so that the air volume of the first air inlet 30 is smaller than the air volume of the second air inlet 40. In this way, differentiated air outlets can be achieved, such as a small air volume in the first air outlet channel 10 and a large air volume in the second air outlet channel 20.

[0057] For example, in some embodiments, reference Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown in , the air volume adjustment mechanism 3 can have a third state, in which the width of the first air inlet 30 is smaller than the width of the second air inlet 40, and the difference between the width of the first air inlet 30 and the width of the second air inlet 40 is smaller than the preset difference, so that the air volume of the first air inlet 30 is greater than the air volume of the second air inlet 40, or the width of the first air inlet 30 is greater than or equal to the width of the second air inlet 40, so that the air volume of the first air inlet 30 is greater than the air volume of the second air inlet 40. In this way, differentiated air outlets can be achieved, with the first air outlet channel 10 having a large air volume and the second air outlet channel 20 having a small air volume.

[0058] It should be noted that when the first top end 311 and the second top end 321 move from the initial position to the maximum displacement position, the air volume adjustment mechanism 3 switches to the third state, the first state and the second state in sequence.

[0059] In some embodiments, reference Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown in , when the first top 311 and the second top 321 are in the initial position, the air volume adjustment mechanism 3 can be in the first state, and the width of the first air inlet 30 is greater than or equal to the width of the second air inlet 40. In this way, without adjusting the positions of the first top 311 and the second top 321, differentiated air outlets can be achieved, that is, the first air outlet channel 10 has a large air volume and the second air outlet channel 20 has a small air volume.

[0060] In some embodiments, the first wall panel 11 of the air outlet frame 1 may include a fourth top 111, which is connected to the air induced structure 4, and the second wall panel 12 of the air outlet frame 1 may include a third top 121, which is connected to the air induced structure 4, wherein, in the second state, the fourth top 111 can form a first air inlet 30 with the first top 311, and in the first state and the third state, the first top 311 can form a first air inlet 30 with the vertical foot of the first wall panel 11; in the first state, the second state and the third state, the second top 321 can form a second air inlet 40 with the third top 121.

[0061] Next, the present disclosure will provide a detailed introduction to the air outlet mode of the indoor unit in combination with the above specific implementation modes. Figures 1 to 6 As shown in , the first top 311 and the second top 321 overlap, the first adjustment plate 31 is parallel to the first splitter plate 21, and the second adjustment plate 32 is parallel to the second splitter plate 22. When the driving member drives the gear 34 to rotate, the rack 35 drives the first adjustment plate 31 and the second adjustment plate 32 to move forward and backward. When the user needs the first air outlet channel 10 and the second air outlet channel 20 to discharge air evenly, the first top 311 and the second top 321 can be moved to make the air volume adjustment mechanism 3 in the first state; when the user needs the first air outlet channel 10 to have a large air volume and the second air outlet channel 20 to have a small air volume, the first top 311 and the second top 321 can be moved to make the air volume adjustment mechanism 3 in the third state; when the user needs the first air outlet channel 10 to have a small air volume and the second air outlet channel 20 to have a large air volume, the first top 311 and the second top 321 can be moved to make the air volume adjustment mechanism 3 in the second state.
