Moreover, the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described may be combined in any one or more embodiments or examples in a suitable manner.

[0039] Figure 1 is a schematic structural diagram of an end device according to an embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 1 As shown, and refer to Figure 2 The embodiment of the present invention provides a terminal device 1 for an air conditioner, which includes an air inlet pipe 11, an air outlet panel 12 and a humidifying layer. The air outlet panel 12 has a connecting air passage 13 inside, and a plurality of air outlet holes 14 are arranged on one side of the air outlet panel 12. The air outlet holes 14 are connected to the air inlet pipe 11 via the connecting air passage 13.

[0040] The humidifying layer is arranged in parallel with the air outlet panel 12 and is arranged inside the air outlet panel 12 . The humidifying layer is located between the air outlet holes 14 and the communicating air passage 13 .

[0041] Specifically, when the terminal device 1 supplies air, a temperature-controlled or fresh air flow circulates in the air inlet pipe 11. The air flow enters the air outlet panel 12 from the air inlet pipe 11 and flows in the connecting air duct 13. Then, the air flow is blown out from the air outlet 14 after passing through the humidification layer, thereby humidifying the indoor ambient air.

[0042] In this embodiment, there is no restriction on the length of the air inlet pipe 11. There can be one or more air inlet pipes 11. The air inlet pipe 11 can be arranged on the upper side of the air outlet panel 12 and connected to the connecting air duct 13, or it can be arranged on the lower side of the air outlet panel 12, or it can be clamped inside the thickness direction of the air outlet panel 12. The overall shape of the air outlet panel 12 can be square, rectangular, circular, or other shapes, which is not limited here. The lower surface of the air outlet panel 12 can be a plane or a curved surface, which can be set according to the specific home decoration style.

[0043] The air outlet panel 12 has a connecting air passage 13 inside. There can be one connecting air passage 13 and all the air outlet holes 14 are connected to the connecting air passage 13 . There can also be multiple connecting air passages 13 and all the air outlet holes 14 are distributed into multiple connecting air passages 13 in groups.

[0044] In a terminal device 1 for an air conditioner and an air conditioner of the present invention, a humidifying layer is arranged inside the air outlet panel 12, so that the airflow inside the air inlet pipe 11 first passes through the humidifying layer after entering the air outlet panel 12, and then flows out from the air outlet 14, so that the air conditioner can humidify the room while delivering air. This arrangement enables the air conditioner to both cool / heat and humidify the indoor air, saving the cost of users purchasing an additional humidifier.

[0045] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the humidifying layer is a breathable wet film 20. In this embodiment, the breathable wet film 20 can be a single layer or a multi-layer stack.

[0046] In some embodiments of the present invention, the ratio between the area of ​​the breathable wet membrane 20 and the area of ​​the air outlet panel 12 is 2 / 3-1.

[0047] In this embodiment, the ratio between the area of ​​the breathable wet film 20 and the area of ​​the air outlet panel 12 is preferably 1. The area of ​​the breathable wet film 20 is equivalent to the area of ​​the air outlet panel 12, so that the area of ​​the breathable wet film 20 is large enough, thereby improving the humidification capacity of the air conditioner and solving the problem of insufficient humidification capacity of the air conditioner.

[0048] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the air outlet panels 12 are used to be arranged on the lower side of the indoor roof, and a plurality of air outlet holes 14 are arranged on the lower side of the plurality of air outlet panels 12 .

[0049] In some embodiments of the present invention, there is one air outlet panel 12 and it is configured to cover at least one half of the indoor roof plane to form a ceiling panel.

[0050] Existing ceiling air conditioners usually need to be installed in the space between the ceiling and the indoor roof, and a hole is opened in the middle of the ceiling to expose the diffuser. On the one hand, since the heat exchanger, fan and diffuser of the ceiling air conditioner are integrated or arranged adjacently, the thickness of the ceiling air conditioner is relatively thick, causing the diffuser to protrude from the ceiling, or causing the overall height of the ceiling to be reduced, occupying limited indoor space. On the other hand, the diffuser and the ceiling are two different components, and it is not easy to unify the home decoration style, which affects the beauty of the home decoration. Since the air outlet panel 12 is separated from other components of the air conditioner, the thickness and weight of the air outlet panel 12 are greatly reduced, so that it does not need to be arranged between the ceiling and the indoor roof, that is, the air outlet panel 12 can be directly used as a ceiling panel. In this embodiment, in order to improve the uniformity of the home decoration style, the air outlet panel 12 is set to cover at least half of the indoor roof plane, and the remaining space can be filled with the ceiling, so that the air outlet panel 12 has a hidden installation effect, and the air outlet panel 12 will not be too abrupt in the user's vision, making it difficult for the user to distinguish between the air conditioning equipment and the architectural decoration, thereby improving the user experience. In particular, since there is only one air outlet panel 12, while the air outlet area or air outlet range is greatly increased, it is easy to select or design the shape, pattern or color of the lower surface of the air outlet panel 12 to match it with the home decoration style.

[0051] In some embodiments of the present invention, there are multiple air outlet panels 12, and the multiple air outlet panels 12 are connected, and the lower surfaces are flush to cover the indoor roof plane and form a ceiling panel.

[0052] In this embodiment, a plurality of air outlet panels 12 are arranged adjacent to each other. The air outlet panels 12 can be arranged so that each connecting air passage 13 is independent of each other, and the air inlet pipe 11 is provided with a plurality of outlets, which are respectively connected with each connecting air passage 13. When two air outlet panels 12 are arranged adjacent to each other, their connecting air passages 13 can also be directly connected to each other on adjacent sides, or connected through connecting air passages 13, so that the air inlet pipe 11 only needs to be connected to the connecting air passage 13 of one air outlet panel 12 to blow out from the air outlet holes 14 of other adjacently arranged air outlet panels 12. When the lower surfaces of the air outlet panels 12 are all planes, the lower surfaces of all the air outlet panels 12 can be in the same plane. When the lower surfaces of the air outlet panels 12 are all curved surfaces, the highest points or lowest points of the lower surfaces of all the air outlet panels 12 are in the same plane.

[0053] In this embodiment, since the entire ceiling panel is an air outlet panel 12 and its lower surface is flush, the air outlet panel 12 can completely replace the ceiling. As a ceiling panel, on the one hand, it can achieve a unified home decoration style and improve the user's aesthetic experience. On the other hand, when using the air conditioner, it can achieve a shower-like air outlet effect throughout the house and improve the user's temperature adjustment experience.

[0054] In some embodiments of the present invention, there are multiple air outlet panels 12, and the lower surfaces of the multiple air outlet panels 12 are connected through the lower surface of the ceiling to cover the indoor roof plane.

[0055] In this embodiment, a plurality of air outlet panels 12 may be arranged at intervals. The air outlet panels 12 may be arranged so that each connecting air passage 13 is independent of each other, and the air inlet pipe 11 may be provided with a plurality of outlets, which are respectively connected to each connecting air passage 13. When two air outlet panels 12 are arranged at intervals, their connecting air passages 13 may also be connected through a connecting pipe, so that the air inlet pipe 11 only needs to be connected to the connecting air passage of one air outlet panel 12, and air may be blown out from the air outlet holes 14 of the other air outlet panels 12 arranged at intervals. Since the thickness of the air outlet panel 12 may be different from the thickness of the ceiling, during installation, the lower surface of the air outlet panel 12 is made flush with the lower surface of the ceiling to prevent the air outlet panel 12 from protruding from the ceiling and affecting the aesthetics of the home decoration.

[0056] In this embodiment, the ceiling panel is composed of a plurality of air outlet panels 12 and a ceiling. The shape and size of the lower surface of the air outlet panel 12 can match the ceiling. For example, the shape and size of the lower surface of the air outlet panel 12 are the same as the ceiling. The user can set the number and position of the air outlet panels 12 as needed. For example, multiple air outlet panels 12 are set in the center and around the indoor roof, and the other areas are set as ceilings. For another example, the ceiling is set directly above the sofa and chairs in the room, and the other areas are set as air outlet panels 12, so as to minimize or avoid users being directly under the air outlet 14.

[0057] In some embodiments of the present invention, the air outlet holes 14 are circular holes, strip holes, or diffuser micro holes.

[0058] The round holes can improve the uniform air outlet effect of the air outlet panel 12. The strip holes can increase the air outlet volume of the air outlet panel 12.

[0059] In other embodiments of the present invention, the air outlet holes 14 can also be rectangular holes, special-shaped holes, etc., and can be set according to temperature control requirements or aesthetic requirements. The length of the strip hole can be slightly smaller than the width of the air outlet panel 12, and multiple strip holes can be arranged at intervals along the length direction of the air outlet panel 12. The length of the strip hole can also be freely set, so that multiple strip hole arrays are densely spaced in a matrix on the entire air outlet panel 12. Of course, two or more strip holes can also cross each other, for example, in a "cross" arrangement. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the strip hole can be a flat strip hole or a strip hole along a curved surface, which can be set according to the direction of the lower surface of the air outlet panel 12. On the other hand, in this embodiment, the strip hole is not limited to an oblong hole or a rectangular hole. The strip hole can also be a wavy hole, or a circular hole. As long as the length of the hole is greater than the width, and the width of the hole remains unchanged over the entire length of the hole, it can be a strip hole.

[0060] In some embodiments of the present invention, the air outlet hole 14 is a special-shaped hole. The special-shaped hole can be a polygonal hole, an irregular hole, etc. By restricting the area of ​​the special-shaped hole, the air volume or air speed of a single hole can be reduced to avoid direct blowing on the user.

[0061] In particular, an artistic pattern is arranged on the lower surface of the air outlet panel 12, and the artistic pattern has corresponding graphics, such as stars, moons, flowers, etc. The position of the special-shaped hole is located at the corresponding graphics, and the shape of the special-shaped hole is consistent with the corresponding graphics. In this way, the air conditioner can be further unified with the home decoration style, achieving a hidden and traceless installation effect, and improving the beauty of home decoration.

[0062] In some embodiments of the present invention, the air outlet holes 14 are diffuser micropores densely arranged according to a preset rule.

[0063] In this embodiment, a plurality of diffuser micropores are densely arranged on the lower surface of the air outlet panel 12 according to a preset rule. A plurality of diffuser micropores are densely arranged on the lower surface of the air outlet panel 12, that is, the positions of the diffuser micropores are arranged according to the shape and size of the air outlet panel 12. When the lower surface area of ​​the air outlet panel 12 is large, the number of diffuser micropores is large, and the air outlet range is wide. The air outlet holes 14 are set as diffuser micropores, which has the effect of uniform air outlet but soft wind feeling.

[0064] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the air outlet panel 12 includes an upper panel and a lower panel, a cavity is formed between the upper panel and the lower panel, and the air outlet holes 14 are arranged on the lower panel. The humidifying layer is arranged in the cavity.

[0065] There is a connecting air passage between the humidifying layer and the upper panel, or the air outlet panel 12 further includes a plurality of conduits sandwiched between the upper panel and the lower panel, the plurality of conduits are the connecting air passage 13, and the humidifying layer is located at the lower side of the conduits. Alternatively, the connecting air passage 13 is arranged in the upper panel, and a plurality of connecting holes corresponding to the air outlet holes 14 are arranged on the lower surface of the upper panel.

[0066] In this embodiment, the upper panel and the lower panel are preferably two plates, which are fixedly connected or integrally formed. The upper panel and the lower panel can also be a plate with a certain thickness, and the plate has a cavity inside. It should be noted that the cavity can be one or more. Multiple cavities can be interconnected or isolated from each other. In practical applications, the cavity can be set according to the shape and position of the air outlet 14 and the specific structure of the air inlet pipe 11.

[0067] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the air outlet panel 12 and the breathable wet membrane 20 are provided with one or more through holes 16 along the upper and lower sides, and the through holes 16 on the air outlet panel 12 correspond to the through holes 16 on the breathable wet membrane 20 one by one, and the through holes 16 are not connected to the connecting air duct 13.

[0068] In this embodiment, the air outlet panel 12 covers the entire indoor roof plane to achieve the maximum air outlet area and air outlet range. However, the indoor roof may also need to be equipped with lamps, decorative parts, etc. For this reason, in this embodiment, one or more through holes 16 are provided on the air outlet panel 12 and the breathable wet membrane 20 along the upper and lower sides to facilitate embedding the lamps, decorative parts, etc. in the through holes. The through holes 16 on the air outlet panel 12 and the breathable wet membrane 20 are not connected to the connecting air duct 13, that is, the hole wall of the through hole 16 is closed to prevent airflow leakage in the connecting air duct 13.

[0069] In some embodiments of the present invention, the diffuser micropores are strip-shaped holes, and the width of the strip-shaped holes is less than or equal to 4 mm.

[0070] In this embodiment, the width of the strip hole is less than or equal to 4mm, which can reduce the air outlet cross-section and avoid a large amount of air flow from a single air outlet, causing discomfort to the user. The length of the strip hole can be slightly smaller than the width of the air outlet panel 12, and multiple strip holes can be arranged at intervals along the length direction of the air outlet panel 12. The length of the strip hole can also be freely set, so that multiple strip holes are arrayed in a matrix and densely spaced on the entire air outlet panel 12. Of course, two or more strip holes can also cross each other, for example, in a "cross" arrangement. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the strip hole can be a flat strip hole or a strip hole along a curved surface, which can be set according to the direction of the lower surface of the air outlet panel 12. On the other hand, in this embodiment, the strip hole is not limited to an oblong hole or a rectangular hole. The strip hole can also be a wavy hole, or a circular hole. As long as the length of the hole is greater than the width, and the width of the hole remains unchanged over the entire length of the hole, it can be a strip hole.

[0071] In some embodiments of the present invention, the diffuser micropores are circular holes with a diameter of 1-4 mm.

[0072] In this embodiment, the diameter of the circular hole is 1-4 mm, which has a strong dispersion effect. Even if the airflow volume is large, after being dispersed through multiple circular holes, there will not be a large airflow speed. On the other hand, since multiple circular holes are arranged at preset regular intervals and the diameter of the circular holes is small, after the outlet airflow is blown out through a circular hole, the airflow cross-section increases rapidly until it mixes with the outlet airflow of the adjacent circular hole, that is, it can spread over the entire outlet panel 12. This makes the outlet airflow form an effect similar to surface outlet after blowing out of the circular hole.

[0073] In some embodiments of the present invention, the diffuser micropores are irregularly shaped holes, and the area of ​​the irregularly shaped holes is less than 15 mm 2 .

[0074] The special-shaped holes may be polygonal holes, irregular holes, etc. By restricting the area of ​​the special-shaped holes, the air volume or air speed of a single hole can be reduced to avoid direct blowing on the user.

[0075] In particular, an artistic pattern is arranged on the lower surface of the air outlet panel 12, and the artistic pattern has corresponding graphics, such as stars, moons, flowers, etc. The position of the special-shaped hole is located at the corresponding graphics, and the shape of the special-shaped hole is consistent with the corresponding graphics. In this way, the air conditioner can be further unified with the home decoration style, achieving a hidden and traceless installation effect, and improving the beauty of home decoration.

[0076] like Figure 1 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention further provides an air conditioner, which includes the terminal device 1 in any of the above embodiments.

[0077] The air conditioner further comprises an outdoor unit 10 and a return air duct 15. The air inlet duct 11 is connected to the air outlet of the outdoor unit 10, one end of the return air duct 15 is connected to the return air outlet of the outdoor unit 10, and the other end of the return air duct 15 is located in the room where the terminal device 1 is located through a through hole 16.

[0078] In this embodiment, the positions of the outdoor unit 10 and the air inlet duct 11 are for illustration only, and do not mean that the outdoor unit 10 must be located on the roof. The outdoor unit 10 may be located at any position outdoors.

[0079] Specifically, the air conditioner can be an integrated air conditioner without an air outlet surface, which includes an outdoor unit 10, which is arranged outdoors, and the air outlet of the outdoor unit 10 is connected to the air inlet pipe 11. The temperature-regulated airflow generated by the outdoor unit 10 enters the air outlet panel 12 through the air inlet pipe 11 and flows through the connecting air duct 13, and then is blown out through the air outlet 14.

[0080] In addition, one end of the return air duct 15 is connected to the return air outlet of the outdoor unit 10, and the other end of the return air duct 15 is located in the room where the terminal device 1 is located through the through hole 16, so that the indoor air enters the return air duct 15 from the inlet of the return air duct 15, and enters the outdoor unit 10 from the outlet of the return air duct 15, completing the air flow circulation of the air conditioner.

[0081] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the air conditioner further includes a fresh air inlet pipe 17 and a fresh air valve 18, wherein the fresh air inlet pipe 17 is arranged outdoors, and its inlet is connected to the outdoors, and its outlet is connected to the air inlet pipe 11. The fresh air valve 18 is arranged at the inlet of the fresh air inlet pipe 17 to control the communication between the outlet of the fresh air inlet pipe 17 and the outdoors.

[0082] Specifically, when fresh air needs to be introduced, a temperature-adjusted airflow flows in the air inlet pipe 11, and a negative pressure is generated at the inlet of the fresh air inlet pipe 17, so that outdoor air enters the air inlet pipe 11 from the fresh air inlet pipe 17, and after the outdoor air is mixed with the temperature-adjusted air in the air inlet pipe 11, it enters the air outlet panel 12 from the air inlet pipe 11 and flows in the connecting air duct 13, and finally the mixed air of the fresh air and the temperature-adjusted airflow is blown out from the air outlet 14. This arrangement allows the air conditioner to blow fresh air, so that the indoor air can be kept fresh.

[0083] In this embodiment, the fresh air valve 18 can be an air volume regulating valve, and the fresh air valve 18 can also be replaced by a damper or a baffle. The fresh air valve 18 is preferably set at the entrance of the fresh air inlet pipe 17. Of course, the fresh air valve 18 can also be set at other positions on the fresh air inlet pipe 17. When it is necessary to introduce fresh air, the fresh air valve 18 is opened, and the fresh air inlet pipe 17 is connected to the outside; when it is not necessary to introduce fresh air, the fresh air valve 18 is closed, and the fresh air inlet pipe 17 is not connected to the outside; when the air volume of fresh air is required, the fresh air valve 18 is adjusted to adjust the connection area between the fresh air inlet pipe 17 and the outside; it should also be noted that the fresh air valve 18 is electrically connected to the control center of the air conditioner so that it can receive the signal from the control center of the air conditioner, so that the user can control the opening and closing of the fresh air and the size of the fresh air volume through the air conditioner remote control or APP. This setting allows the user to control whether to introduce fresh air and adjust the size of the fresh air according to their needs, and the user experience is better.

[0084] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the air conditioner further includes a funnel 19, and the small end of the funnel 19 is arranged at the inlet of the fresh air inlet duct.

[0085] In this embodiment, the funnel 19 includes but is not limited to a special-shaped funnel 19 with a polygonal cross section, or a conical funnel 19, or a long-necked funnel 19, and the like. The small end of the funnel 19 is arranged at the inlet of the fresh air inlet pipe 17, and the large end of the funnel 19 is arranged above the small end and connected to the outside. When the fresh air is introduced, due to the negative pressure generated in the fresh air inlet pipe 17 by the temperature-adjusting airflow flowing in the air inlet pipe 11, suction is generated at the large end of the funnel 19, and the outdoor gas enters the small end from the large end, and then enters the fresh air inlet pipe 17 from the small end, and finally flows into the room. This arrangement can expand the fresh air intake volume and improve the efficiency of the air conditioner in delivering fresh air.

[0086] In some embodiments of the present invention, the air conditioner further includes a filtering device, which is disposed in the funnel 19 or on the fresh air inlet pipe 17 .

[0087] In this embodiment, the filter device is preferably arranged on the fresh air inlet pipe 17. When the outdoor air enters the fresh air inlet pipe 17, it is filtered by the filter device and converted into clean fresh air, and flows out from the outlet of the fresh air inlet pipe 17. The filter device can be a water-washing filter device, which filters the outdoor air by water washing; the filter device can also be a membrane filter device, which filters the outdoor air by passing it through different filter membranes. This arrangement can prevent impurities in the outdoor air from entering the room through the fresh air inlet pipe 17, thereby avoiding polluting the indoor air.

[0088] In some embodiments of the present invention, the air conditioner further includes a fresh air blower, which is disposed in the fresh air inlet duct 17 .

[0089] In this embodiment, the fresh air fan can be an axial flow fan or a cross-flow fan. When it is necessary to introduce fresh air, the fresh air fan works to generate suction at the inlet of the fresh air inlet pipe 17, prompting outdoor gas to enter the fresh air inlet pipe 17; when it is not necessary to introduce fresh air, the fresh air fan is turned off. In addition, the fresh air fan can also be electrically connected to the control center of the air conditioner, so that the air conditioner can not only control the size of the fresh air volume by controlling the fresh air valve 18, but also control the size of the fresh air volume by the rotation speed of the fresh air fan. This setting can further expand the air volume of the fresh air, and combined with the fresh air valve 18, it can realize the precise control of the fresh air volume of the air conditioner.

[0090] In some embodiments of the present invention, the air conditioner also includes a temperature sensor to detect the indoor ambient temperature or the air outlet temperature of the outdoor unit 10 to control the opening degree of the fresh air valve 18 according to the indoor ambient temperature or the air outlet temperature of the outdoor unit 10.

[0091] In this embodiment, the temperature sensor includes but is not limited to an infrared temperature sensor, a thermistor temperature sensor, a thermocouple temperature sensor, etc. The temperature sensor can be set outdoors and / or indoors, and can control the opening degree of the fresh air valve 18 according to the indoor ambient temperature or the air outlet temperature of the outdoor unit 10, or can control the opening degree of the fresh air valve 18 according to the indoor ambient temperature and the air outlet temperature of the outdoor unit 10. The opening degree of the fresh air valve 18 reflects the connection area between the fresh air inlet pipe 17 and the outside to a certain extent.

[0092] At this point, those skilled in the art should recognize that, although multiple exemplary embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described in detail herein, many other variations or modifications that conform to the principles of the present invention can still be directly determined or derived based on the content disclosed in the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of the present invention should be understood and recognized as covering all these other variations or modifications.
