[0059] The embodiments of the present application are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present application, and cannot be understood as limiting the present application.

[0060] The air conditioner 100 according to an embodiment of the present application will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0061] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the air conditioner 100 according to the embodiment of the present application includes: an air conditioner body 10 and a spoiler component 20. The air conditioner body 10 has an air outlet duct 10a. The spoiler component 20 includes a driving device 21 and a spoiler 22, the driving device 21 is assembled on the air conditioner body 10, at least part of the spoiler 22 is arranged on the air outlet duct 10a, and the driving device 21 includes a resonant actuator 211, and the resonant actuator 211 is connected to the spoiler 22 to drive the spoiler 22 to resonate and realize spoiler.

[0062] It is understandable that "resonance" is also called "resonance". When the frequency of the driving force is equal to the natural frequency of the system, the amplitude of the forced vibration of the system is the largest. This phenomenon is called resonance. When the frequency of the external force is the same as or very close to the natural oscillation frequency of the system, the amplitude of the oscillation system increases sharply under the action of periodic external forces. The frequency when resonance occurs is called "resonance frequency". In addition, "natural frequency" is also called "natural frequency". When an object vibrates freely, its displacement changes with time according to the sine or cosine law. The frequency of vibration has nothing to do with the initial conditions, but is only related to the inherent characteristics of the system (such as mass, shape, material, etc.). It is called the natural frequency, and its corresponding period is called the natural period. The natural frequency has nothing to do with external excitation and is an inherent property of the structure. Regardless of whether the structure is excited by the outside world, the natural frequency of the structure exists. It is just that when there is external excitation, the structure produces a vibration response according to the natural frequency. In addition, "free vibration" refers to the vibration that occurs in a mechanical system after the excitation or constraint is removed. The vibration is maintained only by its elastic restoring force. When there is damping, the vibration gradually decays. The frequency of free vibration is determined only by the physical properties of the system itself, which is called the natural frequency of the system.

[0063] In simple terms, when the excitation frequency of the resonant actuator 211 is the same as or close to the natural frequency of the spoiler 22, the resonance effect is utilized, and the vibration generated by the spoiler 22 is called resonance. The amplitude of the spoiler 22 will increase sharply, so that the spoiler 22 can vibrate the spoiler more effectively, thereby accelerating the air circulation in the room, making the room heat exchange more uniform, improving the wind feeling of the air flow out of the air outlet duct 10a, and thus meeting the user's comfort requirements. Moreover, the spoiler 22 spoils the air, the wind resistance is low, and the wind volume attenuation has a good improvement effect.

[0064] In order to meet the comfort requirements of the air conditioner, accelerate the circulation of room air, make the room heat exchange more uniform, and make the air outlet feel more comfortable, the following technical solutions exist in the relevant technology, for example, a convex hull structure is installed on the inner side of the air outlet, and the indoor airflow and wind feeling are adjusted by the surface shape of the convex hull structure and the rotation of the convex hull structure in the air duct. However, the convex hull structure installed on the side of the air outlet significantly reduces the air volume of the whole machine, affecting the heat exchange efficiency. For example, a wind dispersion structure is installed on the air guide plate of the air conditioner, and the wind dispersion structure includes a plurality of air guide rings formed on the air dispersion plate and a plurality of rotor blades arranged one by one with the plurality of air guide rings. Under the action of the driving device, the rotor blade can rotate, thereby adjusting the airflow passing through the wind dispersion structure. However, the wind dispersion structure is prone to cause air volume attenuation. When the driving device drives the rotor blade to rotate, the rotation speed of the rotor blade is too low (often less than 1Hz), and it is difficult to effectively adjust the wind feeling. Moreover, when the rotor blade rotates, friction noise between components is easily generated. For example, by changing the motor speed, adjusting the air volume and air speed, and changing the air supply distance, the uniformity of indoor air temperature can be adjusted. However, adjusting the motor speed places too high demands on motor performance, the motor cost is high, and the noise often increases with increasing speed. When the motor drives the fan to run, the motor and fan are easily damaged due to the rapid change in speed, and their lifespan is greatly reduced, thereby reducing reliability.

[0065] It can be seen that the solutions in the above-mentioned related technologies all have some problems. The present application adopts the resonant actuator 211 to drive the spoiler 22 to resonate and realize spoiler, which can avoid the use of the solutions in the above-mentioned related technologies and effectively improve the above-mentioned various problems. However, the vibration actuator 211 drives the spoiler 22 to resonate and easily causes vibration noise. In this regard, in an embodiment of the present application, the air conditioner 100 also includes a vibration reduction component 30, which is used to reduce the vibration transmitted from the spoiler component 20 to the air conditioner body 10.

[0066] Combination Figure 2-Figure 4 , the vibration reduction component 30 can act between the air conditioner body 10 and the spoiler component 20, that is, the vibration reduction component 30 and the air conditioner body 10 and the spoiler component 20 have interaction forces respectively; and / or, combined Figure 16-Figure 19 , the vibration-damping component 30 acts on the spoiler component 20 itself, that is, the vibration-damping component 30 only has an interaction force with the components of the spoiler component 20 .

[0067] The present application sets a vibration-damping component 30. When the spoiler component 20 is working, the vibration generated by the resonant actuator 211 driving the spoiler 22 to work can be at least partially absorbed by the vibration-damping component 30, thereby reducing the vibration energy transmitted from the spoiler component 20 to the air-conditioning body 10 and reducing the adverse effects of the vibration on the air-conditioning body 10.

[0068] According to the air conditioner 100 of the embodiment of the present application, the vibration reduction component 30 is provided to absorb the vibration energy generated by the spoiler component 20, thereby reducing the noise of the air conditioner 100 and improving the user's comfort. At the same time, since the vibration reduction component 30 absorbs the vibration generated by the spoiler component 20, the damage problem of the spoiler component 20 itself caused by the vibration is improved, the service life of the spoiler component 20 is extended, and the stability of the spoiler component 20 installed on the air conditioner body 10 is improved, thereby improving the structural stability of the air conditioner 100.

[0069] In addition, when the vibration-damping component 30 acts between the air-conditioning body 10 and the spoiler component 20, the vibration-damping component 30 may also absorb the force transmitted by the air-conditioning body 10 to the spoiler component 20. When the air-conditioning body 10 is subjected to a certain external force, the vibration-damping component 30 partially absorbs the external force energy, thereby reducing the external force acting on the spoiler component 20, effectively protecting the spoiler component 20 from damage by external force impact, and improving the service life of the spoiler component 20.

[0070] It is worth noting that the specific composition of the air conditioner body 10 according to the embodiment of the present application is not limited, and can be specifically determined according to the type of the air conditioner 100. In addition, the specific type of the air conditioner 100 is not limited, for example, it can be an integrated air conditioner or a split air conditioner. The integrated air conditioner can be a window air conditioner or a kitchen air conditioner, and the split air conditioner can include an indoor horizontal hanging unit or an indoor cabinet unit, etc. All parts of the air conditioner 100 except the spoiler component 20 and the vibration reduction component 30 can be regarded as the air conditioner body 10.

[0071] Exemplarily, when the air conditioner 100 is an indoor horizontally mounted unit, the air conditioner body 10 may include a shell component and a fan component and a heat exchange component arranged in the shell component, wherein the shell component may include a base, a panel, a face frame, an air duct component, etc., and the vibration reduction component 30 and the spoiler component 20 are arranged at corresponding positions of the shell component of the air conditioner body 10 according to position requirements.

[0072] In some embodiments of the present application, Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the driving device 21 includes a mounting seat 212, the mounting seat 212 is mounted on the air conditioner body 10, the resonant actuator 211 is arranged on the mounting seat 212, and one end of the spoiler 22 is connected to the resonant actuator 211, wherein the combination Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the vibration reduction component 30 includes a first type of vibration reduction component 31 acting between the air conditioner body 10 and the mounting seat 212; and / or, in combination Figure 16-Figure 19 As shown, the vibration reduction component 30 includes a second type of vibration reduction component 32 acting between the mounting seat 212 and the resonant actuator 211 .

[0073] Among them, one end of the first type of vibration-damping component 31 acts on the air-conditioning body 10, and the other end of the first type of vibration-damping component 31 acts on the mounting seat 212. When the spoiler component 20 starts to work, the vibration energy generated by the spoiler component 20 is transmitted to the first type of vibration-damping component 31 acting on the mounting seat 212 through the mounting seat 212. The first type of vibration-damping component 31 absorbs the vibration energy, thereby reducing the vibration energy transmitted to the air-conditioning body 10 through the connection part between the mounting seat 212 and the air-conditioning body 10, thereby reducing the vibration energy transmitted to the air-conditioning body 10, and thereby reducing the vibration and noise of the air-conditioning body 10.

[0074] As described above, by setting the first type of vibration-damping component 31 between the air-conditioning body 10 and the mounting base 212, the first type of vibration-damping component 31 acts between the air-conditioning body 10 and the spoiler component 20, so that the first type of vibration-damping component 31 can absorb the vibration energy transmitted to the air-conditioning body 10, thereby reducing the vibration noise, and achieving vibration reduction and noise reduction of the air conditioner 100. Moreover, the first type of vibration-damping component 31 is set between the air-conditioning body 10 and the mounting base 212, which is easy to assemble, and the structure of the first type of vibration-damping component 31 can be flexibly set.

[0075] Among them, a part of the second type of vibration damping component 32 acts on the resonant actuator 211, and the other part acts on the mounting base 212. When the spoiler component 20 starts to work, the resonant actuator 211 drives the vibration generated by the spoiler 22 to be transmitted to the second type of vibration damping component 32. The second type of vibration damping component 32 absorbs the vibration energy, reduces the vibration energy transmitted from the second type of vibration damping component 32 to the mounting base 212, and then reduces the vibration energy transmitted from the mounting base 212 to the air-conditioning body 10, thereby achieving vibration reduction and noise reduction of the air conditioner 100.

[0076] As mentioned above, by setting the second type of vibration damping component 32 between the mounting base 212 and the resonant actuator 211, the second type of vibration damping component 32 acts on the spoiler component 20 itself, so that the second type of vibration damping component 32 can directly absorb the vibration energy generated by the resonant actuator 211 driving the spoiler 22 from the source, reduce the vibration energy transmitted to the mounting base 212 and the air-conditioning body 10, and then reduce the vibration of the air-conditioning body 10, thereby achieving vibration reduction and noise reduction of the air conditioner 100.

[0077] In addition, since the driving device 21 includes a mounting base 212, the mounting base 212 is assembled on the air-conditioning body 10, and the resonant actuator 211 is arranged on the mounting base 212, it is convenient to set the vibration-damping component 30 so as to act between the air-conditioning body 10 and the spoiler component 20 and / or act on the spoiler component 20 itself, thereby making the structure of the vibration-damping component 20 simple and easy to process.

[0078] It should be noted that when the air conditioner 100 uses the vibration damping component 30, it can use only the first type of vibration damping component 31, or only the second type of vibration damping component 32, or it can use both the first type of vibration damping component 31 and the second type of vibration damping component 32. The type of vibration damping component 30 used by the air conditioner 100 is set according to actual production needs, and will not be described one by one here.

[0079] In addition, when a second type of vibration damping component 32 is set between the mounting base 212 and the resonant actuator 211, and a first type of vibration damping component 31 is not set between the air conditioner body 10 and the mounting base 212, the air conditioner body 10 does not need to specially process the installation structure in order to install the first type of vibration damping component 31, thereby reducing the processing difficulty of the air conditioner body 10.

[0080] In addition, it should be noted that when the first type of vibration damping component 31 is set between the air conditioner body 10 and the mounting base 212, the specific setting position and specific installation and fixing method of the first type of vibration damping component 31 are not limited, for example, it can be fixed on the air conditioner body 10, or fixed on the mounting base 212, or only clamped between the air conditioner body 10 and the mounting base 212, etc. Similarly, when the second type of vibration damping component 32 is set between the mounting base 212 and the resonant actuator 211, the specific setting position and specific installation and fixing method of the second type of vibration damping component 32 are not limited, for example, it can be fixed on the mounting base 212, or fixed on the resonant actuator 211, or only clamped between the mounting base 212 and the resonant actuator 211, etc. Below, some embodiments are introduced in detail.

[0081] In some embodiments of the present application, Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the air conditioner body 10 has a mounting groove 10b, which is combined with Figure 3 and Figure 4 The mounting seat 212 is accommodated in the mounting groove 10 b , and at least a portion of the first type of vibration-damping component 31 is disposed in the mounting groove 10 b and acts between the air conditioner body 10 and the mounting seat 212 .

[0082] In this way, by constructing the mounting groove 10b on the air conditioner body 10, the mounting seat 212 can be installed in the mounting groove 10b, which is conducive to realizing the rapid positioning and installation of the mounting seat 212, improving the assembly efficiency, and by providing the mounting groove 10b, the multi-directional limit of the mounting seat 212 is realized, reducing the movement of the mounting seat 212 installed on the air conditioner body 10 in multiple directions, and improving the structural stability of the air conditioner 100. At the same time, at least part of the first type of vibration reduction component 31 is arranged in the mounting groove 10b, and the first type of vibration reduction component 31 can be used to make use of the position of the mounting groove 10b, so that the first type of vibration reduction component 31 can more easily act between the air conditioner body 10 and the mounting seat 212.

[0083] Exemplarily, the first type of vibration damping component 31 may include an elastic structure. For example, the first type of vibration damping component 31 may be configured to have an elastic structure at one end and a non-elastic structure at the other end, or the entire structure may be an elastic structure. When vibration energy is transmitted from the mounting base 212 to the first type of vibration damping component 31, the elastic structure of the first type of vibration damping component 31 can absorb the vibration energy through its own elastic deformation, thereby reducing the vibration energy transmitted to the air-conditioning body 10, thereby achieving vibration reduction and noise reduction of the air-conditioning body 10.

[0084] Among them, there are many ways of "the first type of vibration damping component 31 acting between the air-conditioning body 10 and the mounting seat 212". For example, one end of the first type of vibration damping component 31 is fixedly mounted on the air-conditioning body 10, and the other end is stopped at the mounting seat 212; for another example, one end of the first type of vibration damping component 31 is fixedly mounted on the mounting seat 212, and the other end is stopped at the groove wall of the mounting groove 10b; for another example, one end of the first type of vibration damping component 31 is stopped at the mounting seat 212, and the other end is stopped at the groove wall of the mounting groove 10b, etc., all of which can realize the effective installation of the first type of vibration damping component 31 and act between the air-conditioning body 10 and the mounting seat 212 to achieve a vibration reduction effect.

[0085] For example, in Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 7 In the example shown, the first type of vibration reduction component 31 includes a first vibration reduction member 311 mounted on the air conditioner body 10 and abutting against the mounting seat 212; and / or Figure 12-Figure 15 In the example shown, the first type of vibration damping component 31 includes a second vibration damping member 312 mounted on the mounting seat 212 and abutting against the groove wall of the mounting groove 10b. Thus, the first vibration damping member 311 is mounted on the air conditioner body 10, and the second vibration damping member 312 is mounted on the mounting seat 212, which improves the installation convenience and installation stability of the first type of vibration damping component 31, avoids the problem that the first type of vibration damping component 31 is out of the vibration damping position due to position movement when absorbing the vibration generated by the spoiler 20, and further improves the vibration and noise reduction effect of the air conditioner 100.

[0086] For example, Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, only at least one first vibration damper 311 can be provided on the air conditioner 100, and one or more first vibration dampers 311 are installed on the air conditioner body 10 to reduce the vibration transmitted to the air conditioner body 10, wherein, since at least a part of the first vibration damper 311 is located in the mounting groove 10b, the first vibration damper 311 can be directly installed on the inner wall of the mounting groove 10b, or installed through the groove wall of the mounting groove 10b, so that a part of the first vibration damper 311 extends into the mounting groove 10b.

[0087] For example, Figure 12-Figure 15 As shown, the air conditioner 100 may also be provided with only at least one second vibration damper 312, and one or more second vibration dampers 312 are installed on the mounting seat 212 to reduce the vibration energy transmitted to the air conditioner body 10, wherein, since at least part of the second vibration damper 312 is located in the mounting groove 10b, the second vibration damper 312 may be directly installed on the outer surface of the mounting seat 212, or penetrate the mounting seat 212 so that a part of the second vibration damper 312 extends into the mounting groove 10b. Moreover, the structure of the air conditioner body 10 may be simplified at this time.

[0088] Exemplarily, at least one first vibration damper 311 and at least one second vibration damper 312 can also be simultaneously provided on the air conditioner 100. The simultaneous provision of the first vibration damper 311 and the second vibration damper 312 enables the vibration damping component 30 to hinder the transmission of vibration at multiple positions, thereby reducing the vibration noise of the air conditioner body 10.

[0089] In some embodiments of the present application, Figure 5 As shown, the mounting base 212 is a long strip structure, and the resonant actuators 211 are multiple and spaced apart along the length direction of the mounting base 212. Figure 4-Figure 9 The mounting groove 10b is in the shape of an elongated strip and is matched with the mounting seat 212. At least one of the groove bottom wall 10b1, the longitudinal groove side wall 10b2, and the widthwise groove side wall 10b3 of the mounting groove 10b is provided with a first type of vibration damping component 31. That is to say, except for the groove position of the mounting groove 10b, the first type of vibration damping component 31 can be provided between any other groove inner wall and the mounting seat 212.

[0090] It can be understood that the groove bottom wall 10b1 is opposite to the groove opening of the mounting groove 10b, the lengthwise groove side wall 10b2 refers to the side wall extending from one length end of the mounting groove 10b to the other length end of the mounting groove 10b, and the widthwise groove side wall 10b3 refers to the side wall extending from one width end of the mounting groove 10b to the other width end of the mounting groove 10b, wherein the length direction of the mounting groove 10b is perpendicular to the width direction, and both are perpendicular to the direction in which the groove opening of the mounting groove 10b is opposite to the groove bottom wall 10b1.

[0091] Among them, the shape of the mounting groove 10b is set corresponding to the shape of the mounting seat 212, which can save space. Moreover, by arranging multiple resonant actuators 211 on the mounting seat 212, multiple resonant actuators 211 can be installed on the air conditioner body 10 through the same mounting seat 212, thereby improving the assembly efficiency. In addition, the vibrations generated by the spoilers 22 driven by the multiple resonant actuators 211 can be transmitted to the same mounting seat 212, which is beneficial for the first type of vibration damping component 31 to simultaneously absorb the vibrations generated by the spoilers 22 installed on the multiple resonant actuators 211. When the number of the first type of vibration damping components 31 is less than the number of resonant actuators 211, the purpose of vibration reduction of the multiple resonant actuators 211 can also be achieved, saving the number and cost of the first type of vibration damping components 31 and improving the assembly efficiency of the first type of vibration damping components 31.

[0092] For example, a plurality of first-type vibration-damping components 31 may be arranged at the position of the groove bottom wall 10b1, and the plurality of first-type vibration-damping components 31 absorb vibrations in a direction perpendicular to the groove bottom wall 10b1; a plurality of first-type vibration-damping components 31 may be arranged at the position of the groove side wall 10b2 in the long direction, and the plurality of first-type vibration-damping components 31 absorb vibrations in a direction perpendicular to the groove side wall 10b2 in the long direction; a plurality of first-type vibration-damping components 31 may be arranged at the position of the groove side wall 10b3 in the wide direction, and the plurality of first-type vibration-damping components 31 absorb vibrations in a direction perpendicular to the groove bottom wall 10b1; Vibration in the direction perpendicular to the widthwise groove side wall 10b3; multiple first-type vibration-damping components 31 can also be arranged at any two positions of the groove bottom wall 10b1, the longitudinal groove side wall 10b2, and the widthwise groove side wall 10b3; or, multiple first-type vibration-damping components 31 can be simultaneously arranged at the positions of the groove bottom wall 10b1, the longitudinal groove side wall 10b2, and the widthwise groove side wall 10b3, and multiple first-type vibration-damping components 31 absorb the vibration generated by the spoiler component 20 in multiple directions to improve the vibration reduction and noise reduction effect.

[0093] It should be noted that the first type of vibration-damping component 31 provided at at least one of the groove bottom wall 10b1, the longitudinal groove side wall 10b2, and the widthwise groove side wall 10b3 of the mounting groove 10b can be installed on the groove bottom wall 10b1, the longitudinal groove side wall 10b2, and the widthwise groove side wall 10b3 of the mounting groove 10b; or it can be provided through the groove bottom wall 10b1, the longitudinal groove side wall 10b2, and the widthwise groove side wall 10b3; or the first type of vibration-damping component 31 can also be installed on the mounting seat 212 at a position facing at least one of the groove bottom wall 10b1, the longitudinal groove side wall 10b2, and the widthwise groove side wall 10b3 of the mounting groove 10b, which will not be described one by one here.

[0094] In some embodiments of the present application, there are multiple first-type vibration-damping components 31, and at least some of the first-type vibration-damping components 31 are arranged on two opposite side walls of the installation groove 10b. For example, the installation groove 10b has two long groove side walls 10b2 arranged oppositely along the width direction, and each long groove side wall 10b2 is respectively provided with at least one first-type vibration-damping component 31. For another example, the installation groove 10b has two wide groove side walls 10b3 arranged oppositely along the length direction, and each wide groove side wall 10b3 is respectively provided with at least one first-type vibration-damping component 31; for another example, the installation groove 10b has two long groove side walls 10b2 arranged oppositely along the width direction, and the installation groove 10b has two wide groove side walls 10b3 arranged oppositely along the length direction, and each long groove side wall 10b2 is respectively provided with at least one first-type vibration-damping component 31, and each wide groove side wall 10b3 is respectively provided with at least one first-type vibration-damping component 31, and so on. Therefore, vibration reduction can be performed from two opposite sides, thereby improving the deflection and collision problems between the mounting seat 212 and any of the two opposite sides.

[0095] In some embodiments of the present application, Figure 16-Figure 19 As shown, a groove 212a is formed on the mounting seat 212, at least a portion of the resonant actuator 211 is disposed in the groove 212a, at least a portion of the second type of vibration-damping component 32 is disposed in the groove 212a, and the second type of vibration-damping component 32 acts between the mounting seat 212 and the resonant actuator 211.

[0096] Among them, by arranging the second type of vibration-damping component 32 in the groove 212a, when the resonant actuator 211 is powered on, the vibration generated by driving the spoiler 22 is absorbed by the second type of vibration-damping component 32 and then transmitted to the mounting seat 212, thereby reducing the vibration transmitted to the mounting seat 212, thereby reducing the noise generated by the vibration of the air conditioner 100, and improving the user's comfort. In addition, by using the groove 212a to accommodate at least part of the second type of vibration-damping component 32, it is easy to achieve the second type of vibration-damping component 32 acting between the mounting seat 212 and the resonant actuator 211 to play a vibration-damping role, thereby simplifying the structure of the spoiler 20 and facilitating the installation of the second type of vibration-damping component 32.

[0097] Exemplarily, the second type of vibration damping component 32 may include an elastic portion. By arranging the second type of vibration damping component 32 between the mounting seat 212 and the resonant actuator 211, the elastic portion of the second type of vibration damping component 32 can absorb the vibration generated by the resonant actuator 211 driving the spoiler 22 through elastic deformation, thereby reducing the vibration energy transmitted to the mounting seat 212, thereby reducing the noise generated by the air conditioner 100 due to vibration. At the same time, the second type of vibration damping component 32 is arranged between the mounting seat 212 and the resonant actuator 211, which also avoids the problem of collision between the resonant actuator 211 and the mounting groove 10b when the spoiler 22 vibrates, so that the second type of vibration damping component 32 protects the resonant actuator 211, improves the problem of damage to the resonant actuator 211 due to vibration collision, and thereby extends the service life of the resonant actuator 211.

[0098] Specifically, when the resonant actuator 211 is energized, the spoiler 22 vibrates to achieve air turbulence. The vibration of the spoiler 22 is transmitted to the second type of vibration damping component 32 that acts on the resonant actuator 211. The second type of vibration damping component 32 absorbs the vibration, thereby reducing the vibration that is ultimately transmitted to the mounting base 212 that acts on the second type of vibration damping component 32, thereby reducing the vibration of the air conditioner 100 and reducing the noise generated by the vibration of the air conditioner 100.

[0099] In some embodiments of the present application, Fig.19 As shown, the second type of vibration damping component 32 may include a third vibration damping member 321, which is sandwiched between the groove wall of the groove 212a and the resonant actuator 211, and respectively abuts against the groove wall of the groove 212a and the surface of the resonant actuator 211. As a result, the third vibration damping member 321 is easy to install, and can effectively absorb the vibration transmitted from the spoiler 22 to the mounting seat 212 through the resonant actuator 211, thereby improving the vibration and noise reduction effect.

[0100] In some embodiments of the present application, Fig. 20 As shown, the second type of vibration damping component 32 includes a fourth vibration damping member 322, which is fixedly connected to the mounting seat 212 and abuts against the surface of the resonant actuator 211. Therefore, the fourth vibration damping member 322 is easy to install and can effectively absorb the vibration transmitted from the spoiler 22 to the mounting seat 212 through the resonant actuator 211, thereby improving the vibration and noise reduction effect.

[0101] In some embodiments of the present application, Fig.21 As shown, the second type of vibration-damping component 32 includes a fifth vibration-damping member 323, which is fixedly connected to the resonant actuator 211 and abuts against the groove wall of the groove 212a. Therefore, the fifth vibration-damping member 323 is easy to install and can effectively absorb the vibration transmitted from the spoiler 22 to the mounting seat 212 through the resonant actuator 211, thereby improving the vibration and noise reduction effect.

[0102] In some embodiments of the present application, the second type of vibration damping component 32 may be multiple and include one, any two, or three of the third vibration damping component 321, the fourth vibration damping component 322, and the fifth vibration damping component 323. Thus, the second type of vibration damping component 32 can be flexibly designed.

[0103] Exemplarily, the third vibration damper 321, the fourth vibration damper 322, and the fifth vibration damper 323 can all be configured to be partially provided with an elastic structure, or be entirely provided with an elastic material, for example, they can all be the vibration damping module 33 or the vibration damping material pad 34 of the embodiment of the present application. When vibrating, the elastic structure of the third vibration damper 321 can be deformed, so that the elastic deformation of the third vibration damper 321 is used to absorb vibration, thereby reducing the vibration energy transmitted to the mounting seat 212.

[0104] In some embodiments of the present application, Figure 16-Figure 19 As shown, the mounting seat 212 is a long strip structure, and the mounting seat 212 has a plurality of grooves 212a arranged at intervals along the length direction of the mounting seat 212, and each groove 212a is respectively matched with a resonant actuator 211 and a second type of vibration reduction component 32. That is to say, by arranging the resonant actuator 211 and the second type of vibration reduction component 32 in each groove 212a, and the second type of vibration reduction component 32 is arranged between the mounting seat 212 and the resonant actuator 211, the vibration energy of each spoiler 22 transmitted to the mounting seat 212 through the resonant actuator 211 is reduced, and the vibration noise problem of the air conditioner 100 is further reduced. Moreover, arranging multiple resonant actuators 211 on the same mounting seat 212 is conducive to realizing the installation of multiple resonant actuators 211 to the air conditioner body 10 through the mounting seat 212, thereby improving the assembly efficiency.

[0105] Specifically, the specific structure of the vibration-damping component 30 in the embodiment of the present application is not limited, as long as it can achieve the effect of absorbing vibration. For example, some embodiments are introduced below.

[0106] In some embodiments of the present application, Fig.10 and Fig.11As shown, the vibration reduction component 30 includes: a vibration reduction module 33, the vibration reduction module 33 includes a mounting member 331, a moving member 332 and an elastic member 333, and the elastic member 333 is arranged between the mounting member 331 and the moving member 332 to elastically support the moving member 332 to be movable relative to the mounting member 331. Thus, by arranging the vibration reduction module 33, the moving member 332 and the mounting member 331 can be caused to move relative to each other by vibration, thereby causing the elastic member 333 to be elastically deformed to absorb the vibration generated when the spoiler 20 is working, thereby reducing the vibration transmitted to the air conditioner body 10 by the spoiler 20, further reducing the noise generated by the vibration of the air conditioner 100, and improving the comfort of the user when using the air conditioner 100.

[0107] In some embodiments, Fig.10 and Fig.11 As shown, a mounting cavity 331a is provided on the mounting member 331, and an opening 331b is provided at one end of the mounting member 331, and the opening 331b is connected to the mounting cavity 331a. The elastic member 333 is installed in the mounting cavity 331a through the opening 331b, and one end of the elastic member 333 stops at the bottom wall 331c of the mounting cavity 331a. The movable member 332 is penetrated at the opening 331b, and the other end of the elastic member 333 stops at the movable member 332.

[0108] Exemplarily, the mounting member 331 is installed on the air-conditioning body 10, and one end of the movable member 332 away from the elastic member 333 stops at the mounting seat 212. When the spoiler component 20 is working, the vibration generated by the spoiler component 20 is transmitted to the elastic member 333 through the mounting seat 212 and the movable member 332 abutting against the mounting seat 212. The vibration is absorbed by the elastic deformation of the elastic member 333, thereby reducing the vibration transmitted to the air-conditioning body 10, thereby reducing the overall vibration of the air conditioner 100.

[0109] In some examples, the vibration reduction module 33 can be set as one long strip structure extending along the length direction of the mounting base 212; or, in other examples, the vibration reduction module 33 can also be set as multiple vibration reduction modules 33, which are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the mounting base 212.

[0110] It can be understood that one or more vibration reduction modules 33 can be arranged on one of the surfaces of the mounting base 212 to absorb the vibration generated by the spoiler component 20 while meeting the lightweight requirements of the air conditioner 100; multiple vibration reduction modules 33 can also be arranged on any multiple surfaces of the mounting base 212 to absorb the vibration generated by the spoiler component 20 in multiple directions, greatly reduce the vibration of the air conditioner 100, and further greatly reduce the noise of the air conditioner 100.

[0111] The present application is not limited thereto. For example, the mounting member 331 may also be mounted on the mounting seat 212. In this case, one end of the moving member 332 away from the elastic member 333 stops at the mounting seat 212, which will not be described in detail here.

[0112] It is worth noting that the elastic member 333 is not limited in composition, and may be, for example, a spring or a vibration-damping material pad 34. If the elastic member 333 is too hard, rigidity conflict may occur easily, and the vibration-damping effect may not be achieved. If the elastic member 333 is too soft, deformation may occur easily, and the vibration-damping effect may not be achieved. Only when the elastic member 333 is within a certain elastic stiffness range can a good vibration-damping effect be achieved, as described below.

[0113] In some embodiments of the present application, Fig.10 As shown, the elastic member 333 is a spring, and the wire diameter d1 of the spring satisfies: 0.2mm≤d1≤3.5mm. It can be understood that the spring can be formed by a filamentary structure such as a steel wire extending in a spiral shape, and the diameter of the filamentary structure is the wire diameter d1 of the spring. The elastic stiffness b of the spring satisfies: 0.5N / mm≤b≤12N / mm; or, Fig.11 As shown, the elastic member 333 is a rubber member, the diameter d2 of the rubber member satisfies: 1mm≤d2≤50mm, and the Shore hardness a1 of the rubber member satisfies: 10 degrees≤a1≤80 degrees. Thus, by limiting the spring diameter and elastic stiffness, the diameter and Shore hardness of the rubber member, and then limiting the deformation range of the elastic member 333, the vibration reduction capability of the elastic member 333 is improved, and further, the vibration reduction and noise reduction capability of the vibration reduction module 33 is improved.

[0114] Exemplarily, the diameter of the spring can be set to 0.2mm, 0.35mm, 1mm, 1.5mm, 2.85mm, 3.2mm, 3.5mm, and the diameter of the spring can also be set to any value between 0.2mm and 3.5mm. The specific value of the diameter of the spring is set according to the actual production requirements, which will not be repeated here. The elastic stiffness of the spring can be set to 0.5N / mm, 0.692N / mm, 1.2N / mm, 2.582N / mm, 3.52N / mm, 5.22N / mm, 8.2N / mm, 10.52N / mm, 12N / mm, and the elastic stiffness of the spring can also be set to any value in the range of 0.52N / mm to 12N / mm. The specific value of the elastic stiffness of the spring is set according to the actual production requirements, which will not be repeated here.

[0115] For example, the diameter of the rubber part can be set to 1mm, 5.2mm, 8.5mm, 15mm, 20.8mm, 32mm, 45mm, 50mm, and the diameter of the rubber part can also be set to any value within the range of 1mm to 50mm. The specific value of the diameter of the rubber part is set according to the actual production requirements, which will not be repeated here. The Shore hardness of the rubber part can be set to 10 degrees, 20 degrees, 30 degrees, 40 degrees, 50 degrees, 60 degrees, 70 degrees, and 80 degrees. The Shore hardness of the rubber part can also be set to any value within the range of 10 degrees to 80 degrees. The specific value of the diameter of the rubber part is set according to the actual production requirements, which will not be repeated here.

[0116] It should be noted that the elastic member 333 can also be set to any other elastic material that can meet the above functions, which will not be described in detail here.

[0117] In some embodiments of the present application, Fig.12 and Fig.13 As shown, the vibration-damping component 30 includes: a vibration-damping material pad 34, the thickness h of the vibration-damping material pad 34 satisfies: 0.5mm≤h≤10mm, and the Shore hardness a2 of the vibration-damping material pad 34 satisfies: 10 degrees≤a2≤80 degrees. Therefore, by limiting the thickness and Shore hardness of the vibration-damping material pad 34, and then limiting the deformation range of the vibration-damping material pad 34, the vibration-damping material pad 34 can absorb vibration energy to a greater extent within the elastic deformation range, thereby improving the vibration-damping ability of the vibration-damping material pad 34, and further improving the vibration-damping and noise-reducing ability of the vibration-damping component 30. In addition, the material of the vibration-damping material pad 34 is not limited, for example, it can be rubber, etc.

[0118] Exemplarily, the thickness of the vibration-damping material pad 34 can be set to 0.5 mm, 0.93 mm, 1.8 mm, 3.5 mm, 5 mm, 8 mm, 10 mm. The thickness of the vibration-damping material pad 34 can also be set to any value within the range of 0.5 mm to 10 mm. The specific value of the thickness of the vibration-damping material pad 34 is set according to actual production requirements, which will not be described here one by one. The Shore hardness of the vibration-damping material pad 34 can be set to 10 degrees, 20 degrees, 30 degrees, 40 degrees, 50 degrees, 60 degrees, 70 degrees, 80 degrees. The Shore hardness of the vibration-damping material pad 34 can also be set to any value within the range of 10 degrees to 80 degrees. The specific value of the Shore hardness of the vibration-damping material pad 34 is set according to actual production requirements, which will not be described here one by one.

[0119] For example, the first vibration damper 311 according to the above embodiment of the present application can adopt a vibration damping module 33, which is conducive to improving the vibration damping effect. The third vibration damper 321 according to the above embodiment of the present application can adopt a vibration damping material pad, which is conducive to reducing the occupied space. The second vibration damper 312 can adopt both the vibration damping module 33 and the vibration damping material pad 34, which can be set according to needs. Of course, in the embodiment of the present application, the selection of the first vibration damper 311, the second vibration damper 312, the third vibration damper 321, the fourth vibration damper 322 and the fifth vibration damper 323 is not limited to this. For example, other vibration damping devices can also be selected, such as various types of springs or airbags, etc., which will not be repeated here.

[0120] In some embodiments of the present application, the resonant actuator 211 includes at least one of a piezoelectric actuator, an electrostrictive actuator, a magnetostrictive actuator, a memory alloy actuator, a mechanical actuator, a servo actuator, and an electrorheological fluid actuator.

[0121] For example, when the resonant actuator 211 is a piezoelectric material, an alternating voltage is applied in the polarization direction of the piezoelectric material, and the piezoelectric material will produce periodic mechanical deformation in a certain direction. Resonance (or resonance) occurs only when the excitation frequency of the piezoelectric material is equal to or close to the natural frequency of the spoiler 22. At this time, the amplitude of the spoiler 22 will increase sharply, so that the spoiler 22 can effectively spoil the air flow and improve the wind feeling of the air outlet.

[0122] In some embodiments, the resonance frequency of the resonant actuator 211 driving the spoiler 22 to resonate is greater than or equal to 1 Hz. Therefore, the spoiler 22 can achieve a better spoiling effect and improve the wind feeling.

[0123] Further, the resonant frequency of the resonant actuator 211 driving the spoiler 22 to resonate is 1Hz-100Hz. That is to say, a resonant actuator 211 with a resonant frequency of 1Hz-100Hz (e.g., 1Hz, 10Hz, 20Hz, 30Hz, 40Hz, 50Hz, 60Hz, 70Hz, 80Hz, 90Hz, 100Hz, etc.) can be selected as needed to drive the spoiler 22 with a matching natural frequency to resonate, thereby meeting different requirements for the wind feel of the air outlet. Further, a resonant actuator 211 with a resonant frequency of 10Hz-80Hz (e.g., 10Hz, 20Hz, 30Hz, 40Hz, 50Hz, 60Hz, 70Hz, 80Hz, etc.) can be selected to drive the spoiler 22 with a matching natural frequency to resonate, thereby meeting different requirements for the wind feel of the air outlet. Of course, the present application is not limited thereto. In other embodiments, the resonant frequency at which the resonant actuator 211 drives the spoiler 22 to resonate may also be greater than 100 Hz, which will not be elaborated herein.

[0124] For the driving motors used in general air conditioners, they can be roughly divided into two types: brushless DC motors and stepper motors. Among them, brushless DC motors are mainly used to drive the fan to move. They can drive the fan to rotate at high speed, but the driving direction is unidirectional and cannot achieve reciprocating motion. When the motor is running at high speed, if the direction is suddenly adjusted, the life and reliability of the motor and the structural parts connected to it cannot be guaranteed. In terms of technology, it is currently impossible to achieve high-frequency reciprocating rotation of brushless DC motors. Stepper motors are usually used to drive the movement of components such as air guide plates, swing blades, and connecting rod mechanisms. Stepper motors can drive components to reciprocate, but relative to the resonant frequency, the driving frequency is very low. The general reciprocating frequency is about 0.1Hz (about 5 to 6 reciprocating movements per minute), which is about two orders of magnitude lower than the resonant frequency (1Hz-100Hz). Therefore, the brushless DC motors and stepper motors used in general air conditioners 100 cannot drive the spoiler 22 to resonate with a resonant frequency greater than 1Hz, and the spoiler 22 cannot effectively spoil the air to improve the wind feel.

[0125] It should be noted that there are many ways for the resonant actuator 211 to drive the spoiler 22 to resonate. For example, the resonant actuator 211 may include an actuator that realizes reciprocating motion by applying at least one of electrical, magnetic, mechanical, and temperature fields, thereby realizing flexible design. For example, the resonant actuator 211 may include a piezoelectric actuator, using the inverse piezoelectric effect, and the resonant actuator 211 is a piezoelectric sheet, which utilizes the inverse piezoelectric effect of the piezoelectric sheet to reciprocate and deform, driving the spoiler 22 to resonate, thereby achieving the purpose of spoiling. Among them, the piezoelectric sheet is a sheet formed by a piezoelectric material, such as a piezoelectric film. The piezoelectric film is a flexible, lightweight, high-toughness plastic film that can be made into objects of various thicknesses and large areas, and is a type of piezoelectric material. The piezoelectric film can be driven by alternating current to cause the inverse piezoelectric effect, thereby driving the spoiler 22 to resonate.

[0126] However, the present application is not limited thereto, and the resonant actuator 211 may also drive the spoiler 22 to resonate in other ways, such as described in the following example, but the present application is not limited thereto.

[0127] For example, the resonant actuator 211 includes an electrostrictive actuator, which drives the spoiler 22 to resonate through the electrostrictive effect.

[0128] Specifically, the electrostrictive effect refers to the phenomenon that a dielectric undergoes elastic deformation in an electric field. This phenomenon can be explained as follows: when a dielectric is placed in an electric field, its molecules are polarized, and along the direction of the electric field, the positive pole of one molecule is connected to the negative pole of another molecule. Because the positive and negative poles attract each other, the entire dielectric shrinks in this direction until the elastic force inside it is balanced with the electric attraction. In short, the electrostrictive material can be connected to the spoiler 22, and the electrostrictive material can be deformed by alternating current, thereby driving the spoiler 22 to resonate.

[0129] In addition, it should be noted that the difference between the electrostrictive effect and the inverse piezoelectric effect is that the inverse piezoelectric effect is a linear response effect of the first order term, which can only appear in solid dielectrics without a symmetry center. The piezoelectric constant is a third-order tensor; the physical parameter describing the electrostrictive effect of anisotropic dielectrics is a fourth-order tensor. Only the electrostrictive effect appears in non-piezoelectric dielectrics; the piezoelectric effect and the electrostrictive effect appear simultaneously in piezoelectric bodies. Generally, the strain caused by the electrostrictive effect is several orders of magnitude smaller than the inverse piezoelectric effect of piezoelectric bodies.

[0130] For example, the resonant actuator 211 includes a magnetostrictive actuator, which drives the spoiler 22 to resonate through the magnetostrictive effect.

[0131] Specifically, the magnetostrictive effect refers to the fact that when an object is magnetized in a magnetic field, it will stretch or shorten in the magnetization direction. When the current passing through the coil changes or the distance from the magnet changes, the size of the ferromagnetic material changes significantly. This is usually called a ferromagnetostrictive material. Its size change is much greater than that of current magnetostrictive materials such as ferrites, and the energy generated is also large, so it is called a giant magnetostrictive material.

[0132] Since the magnetostrictive material changes its length under the action of a magnetic field, it can be displaced to do work or can be repeatedly stretched and shortened under the action of an alternating magnetic field, thereby generating vibrations, and this material can convert electromagnetic energy (or electromagnetic information) into mechanical energy. In short, the magnetostrictive material can be connected to the spoiler 22, and the magnetostrictive material can be deformed by the alternating magnetic field, thereby driving the spoiler 22 to resonate.

[0133] For example, the resonant actuator 211 includes a shape memory alloy actuator, which drives the spoiler 22 to resonate by deforming the shape memory alloy.

[0134] Specifically, shape memory alloys (Shape Memory Alloys): SMA for short, can undergo martensitic phase transformation under the drive of external fields (temperature field, stress field, magnetic field, etc.) and then show shape memory effect and superelasticity, output force and displacement to the outside, and are advanced intelligent materials that integrate temperature perception and intelligent drive. They have unique shape memory effect, phase change pseudoelasticity and other characteristics, and are widely used in aerospace, medical equipment, mechanical and electrical fields. Shape memory alloys have three characteristics: large deformation; large degree of freedom in displacement direction; displacement can occur rapidly. Therefore, it has the characteristics of large displacement, high power-to-weight ratio, rapid displacement and free direction. It is particularly suitable for small load, high speed, high precision robot assembly operations, microscope sample moving devices, reactor drive devices 21, medical endoscopes, artificial hearts, detectors, protectors and other products. In short, the shape memory alloy can be connected to the spoiler 22, and the temperature field can be changed by heating or cooling to drive the spoiler 22 to resonate.

[0135] For example, the resonant actuator 211 includes an electrorheological fluid actuator, which drives the spoiler 22 to resonate by deforming the electrorheological fluid.

[0136] Specifically, electrorheological fluid (abbreviation ERF) is a kind of intelligent material, and its viscosity changes with the change of applied electric field intensity.When there is no electric field, electrorheological fluid can flow freely like ordinary liquid, is basically a Newtonian fluid.When the applied electric field intensity reaches a certain value, the property of electrorheological fluid will change significantly, and liquid viscosity increases and lacks fluidity gradually, and shear resistance strengthens, and is rapidly converted to solid state by liquid, and is rapidly restored to liquid again after removing electric field, and this state change only can be realized in milliseconds, and this conversion is fully reversible.In short, electrorheological fluid can be connected with spoiler 22, and spoiler 22 is driven to resonate by alternating electric field.

[0137] For example, the resonant actuator 211 includes a servo actuator, which can be a hydraulic actuator that can convert hydraulic energy from a hydraulic source into mechanical energy, and can also be servo-controlled by a displacement sensor or a travel switch provided in the product as required. It is used to execute the command of the main controller, control the speed, direction, displacement, and force of the load, and at the same time feedback the main controller with a signal output force, accurate operating position, and small size. In short, the servo actuator can be connected to the spoiler 22 to drive the spoiler 22 to resonate.

[0138] For example, the resonant actuator 211 may also include a mechanical actuator, which may directly drive the spoiler 22 to resonate through a high-speed motor or through a mechanical mechanism, etc., which will not be elaborated here.

[0139] Based on the above description, it can be known that the relative positions of the resonant actuator 211 and the spoiler 22 are not limited and need to be specifically designed according to the specific driving mode of the resonant actuator 211. The design of the spoiler 22 can refer to the following description.

[0140] For example, in some embodiments, there are multiple resonant actuators 211 and spoilers 22 that are arranged in one-to-one correspondence, thereby achieving separate resonance of multiple spoilers 22, and achieving different spoiler effects by combining different resonant actuators 211.

[0141] For example, in some embodiments, when the resonant actuator 211 is a piezoelectric actuator, it can be set at the root of the spoiler 22, and the resonant actuator 211 can be a piezoelectric material and located on one side of the thickness of the spoiler 22, or, the resonant actuator 211 can also be two piezoelectric materials and respectively located on both sides of the thickness of the spoiler 22, etc., which can simply and effectively drive the spoiler 22 to move.

[0142] In some embodiments, the driving device 21 is further configured to drive the spoiler 22 to deflect a set angle to achieve directional wind guidance. Thus, the air supply angle of the air outlet can be adjusted to achieve the adjustment of the air outlet direction. It should be noted that the set angle here does not refer to a certain angle, but can be certain angles, such as some angle values ​​within a certain angle range, so as to meet the adjustment of different air supply angles. For example, the resonant actuator 211 is configured to drive the spoiler 22 to resonate when an alternating signal is applied, and to drive the spoiler 22 to deflect a set angle when a constant signal or a pulse signal is applied.

[0143] For example, the number of the resonant actuator 211 and the spoiler 22 is the same and they are arranged one by one. When a constant signal is applied to the resonant actuator 211, the spoiler 22 is driven to deflect by a set angle to achieve directional wind guidance. In other words, when spoiler is required, the resonant actuator 211 can be used to drive the spoiler 22 to resonate, and when directional wind guidance is required, the resonant actuator 211 can be used to drive the spoiler 22 to deflect. For example, the resonant actuator 211 is a piezoelectric actuator, and by changing the type of driving signal applied, the wind outlet effect of the spoiler 22 is adjusted, such as spoiler outlet or directional wind guidance, so as to meet the different actual needs of users.

[0144] For example, when a constant signal or a pulse signal is applied to both ends of the piezoelectric actuator, the resonant actuator 211 will drive the spoiler 22 to deflect to a relatively fixed angle, presenting a relatively stable wind guide angle, so that the wind direction can be adjusted (or directional wind guide). And by using the matching relationship between the deflection angle of the spoiler 22 and the signal value, by adjusting the signal value, the spoiler 22 can be accurately controlled to deflect to the corresponding fixed wind guide angle, thereby achieving relatively accurate wind direction adjustment.

[0145] For example, when an alternating signal is applied to both ends of the piezoelectric actuator, the resonant actuator 211 will drive the spoiler 22 to reciprocate and resonate, thereby achieving spoiler flow and improving the wind feel of the air. In addition, by changing the size of the alternating signal applied to both ends of the resonant actuator 211, and the signal phase difference of adjacent spoilers 22, etc., the amplitude of the spoiler 22 can be controlled, and the adjustment is more convenient and sensitive. By adjusting the amplitude, vibration direction, phase angle, etc. of the spoiler 22, a variety of wind feelings can be achieved to meet the diversified air supply needs, and achieve a more sensitive and diversified effect of wind feeling adjustment.

[0146] In some embodiments of the present application, the driving device 21 is detachably mounted on the air conditioner body 10 through a snap-fit ​​structure or a threaded connector. In other words, by detachably mounting the driving device 21 on the air conditioner body 10, the driving device 21 can be replaced after being damaged, thereby reducing the maintenance cost of the air conditioner 100.

[0147] The present application is not limited thereto. For example, in other embodiments, the drive device 21 can also be detachably assembled to the air-conditioning body 10 through a mortise and tenon structure, and the drive device 21 can also be assembled to the air-conditioning body 10 through other connection structures. In addition, in other embodiments, the drive device 21 can also be fastened to the air-conditioning body 10 by welding. The fastened installation of the drive device 21 and the air-conditioning body 10 prevents the drive device 21 from being separated from the air-conditioning body 10, improves the structural stability of the air-conditioning 100, and further reduces the possibility of damage to the air-conditioning 100. Among them, the drive device 21 can also be bonded to the air-conditioning body 10, and the drive device 21 can also be fastened to the air-conditioning body 10 through other assembly methods, which will not be described one by one here.

[0148] In some embodiments of the present application, Fig.14 As shown, the air conditioner body 10 further includes a fan component 40 and an air guide component 50. The fan component 40 is located upstream of the spoiler component 20 and is used to induce the airflow to be sent out from the air outlet duct 10a. The air guide component 50 is located downstream of the spoiler component 20 and is used to adjust the air outlet direction of the air outlet duct 10a. The upstream refers to the component that the airflow passes through first, and the downstream refers to the component that the airflow passes through later, that is, the airflow passes through the fan component 40, the spoiler component 20 and the air guide component 50 in sequence.

[0149] It can be understood that the fan component 40 enables the air conditioner 100 to circulate air, and the air flow is transported to the air guide component 50 after being disturbed by the spoiler component 20 along the air outlet duct 10a. The air guide component 50 controls the transmission direction of the air flow generated by the air conditioner 100, and then the air flow is transported to the position required by the user, so that the air conditioner 100 can better serve the user and improve the user's comfort.

[0150] In some embodiments, Fig.14 As shown, the air guide component 50 may include a first air guide plate 51 and a second air guide plate 52. The first air guide plate 51 is one and its length direction extends along the length direction of the air-conditioning body 10. The second air guide plate 52 is one and its length direction extends along the length direction of the air-conditioning body 10. For example, when the air conditioner 100 is a horizontally mounted air conditioner, the first air guide plate 51 and the second air guide plate 52 are respectively located at the upper and lower ends of the air outlet, and are respectively used for upward and downward swinging wind.

[0151] For example, when the fan component 40 triggers the air flow, the fan component 40 sends the air flow along the air outlet duct 10a to the spoiler component 20, and the spoiler component 20 interferes with the air flow, so that the air flow forms a vortex or deviates in a certain direction and is then transported to the air guide component 50. At this time, the air flow is guided by multiple first air guide plates 51 and second air guide plates 52 to be sent out from the air outlet of the air conditioner 100, thereby realizing multi-directional and multi-position air supply to the air conditioner 100.

[0152] Other structures and operations of the air conditioner 100 according to the embodiment of the present application are known to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here.

The mounting seat 212 is a rectangular shape with a length much greater than a width. The first vibration-damping member 311 can be correspondingly arranged at the six outer surfaces of the mounting seat 212. The first vibration-damping member 311 is a vibration-damping module 33. The vibration-damping module 33 includes a mounting member 331, a movable member 332 and an elastic member 333. The elastic member 333 is arranged between the mounting member 331 and the movable member 332 to elastically support the movable member 332 to be movable relative to the mounting member 331. The mounting member 331 is mounted on the air conditioner body 10, and the movable member 332 abuts against the mounting seat 212. When the spoiler component 20 is working, the vibration of the spoiler component 20 is transmitted to the movable member 332. At this time, the elastic member 333 abutting against the movable member 332 deforms to absorb or partially absorb the vibration energy from the spoiler component 20, thereby reducing the vibration energy transmitted to the air conditioner body 10, thereby achieving the purpose of reducing the vibration of the whole machine.

[0155] Embodiment 2, as Figure 12-Figure 15As shown, the vibration damping component 30 includes a second vibration damping member 312, which is installed on the outer surface of the mounting base 212 and stops at the air conditioner body 10. For example, the mounting base 212 is a rectangular shape with a length much greater than a width. The second vibration damping member 312 can be installed on the six outer surfaces of the mounting base 212. The second vibration damping member 312 is a vibration damping material pad 34, which is easy to install and occupies little space.

[0156] Embodiment three, as Figure 16-Figure 19 As shown, the vibration reduction component 30 includes a third vibration reduction component 321, which is installed inside the spoiler component 20 and at least partially sandwiched between the mounting seat 212 and the resonant actuator 211. During assembly, the third vibration reduction component 321, the resonant actuator 211, and the spoiler 22 can be assembled into a component first, and then multiple components can be installed on the mounting seat 212 to obtain a module, and then the module is installed on the air conditioner body 10, so that the source of the resonant vibration can be effectively reduced from being transmitted to the air conditioner body 10, achieving the purpose of vibration reduction and noise reduction.
