[0042] Reference below Figure 1-Figure 11 An air conditioner indoor unit 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention is described.

[0043] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The air conditioner indoor unit 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention comprises: a casing 1 and an air guide module 2, wherein the casing 1 is provided with an air duct 11, and the casing 1 is provided with an air inlet 12 and an air outlet 13 connected with the air duct 11. When the air conditioner indoor unit 100 is working, the air outside the casing 1 enters the air duct 11 from the air inlet 12, and after heat exchange with the indoor heat exchanger inside the casing 1, is discharged into the room through the air outlet 13, thereby achieving the effect of adjusting the indoor temperature.

[0044] The air guide module 2 includes a first air guide component 21 and a second air guide component 22. The first air guide component 21 is rotatably disposed on the casing 1 around a first rotation axis L1 to guide the airflow direction of the air outlet 13. The second air guide component 22 is rotatably disposed on the casing 1 around a second rotation axis L2 to guide the airflow direction of the air outlet 13. The first rotation axis L1 and the second rotation axis L2 are spaced apart. The rotations of the first air guide component 21 and the second air guide component 22 are independent of each other, so that the first air guide component 21 and the second air guide component 22 can be rotated to different angles respectively to adjust different air outlet directions.

[0045] The first air guide assembly 21 includes a first air guide plate 211 and a second air guide plate 212 which are rotatable relative to each other, that is, the first air guide plate 211 and the second air guide plate 212 can both rotate around the first rotation axis L1, and the rotation of the first air guide plate 211 and the rotation of the second air guide plate 212 are independent of each other.

[0046] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 6 The first air guide assembly 21 has a mating state and a separation state. In the mating state, the first air guide plate 211 and the second air guide plate 212 are in contact with each other to guide the air. At this time, the first air guide plate 211 and the second air guide plate 212 can be regarded as a whole. When the airflow contacts the first air guide assembly 21, the airflow first passes through the first air guide plate 211, changes the airflow direction under the guidance of the first air guide plate 211, and continues to change the airflow direction under the guidance of the second air guide plate 212 after passing through the first air guide plate 211, or the airflow first passes through the second air guide plate 212, changes the airflow direction under the guidance of the second air guide plate 212, and continues to change the airflow direction under the guidance of the first air guide plate 211 after passing through the second air guide plate 212. In the mating state, the first air guide plate 211 and the second air guide plate 212 are in contact with each other, which increases the air guiding length of the first air guide assembly 21 and improves the airflow guiding effect of the first air guide assembly 21.

[0047] When the first air guide assembly 21 is in a mating state and is used to guide the air out of the air conditioner, the first air guide plate 211 and the second air guide plate 212 can be regarded as a whole, and the end of the first air guide assembly 21 facing the indoor side is the air outlet end of the first air guide assembly 21. Because the first air guide plate 211 and the second air guide plate 212 both rotate around the first rotation axis L1, the first air guide plate 211 and the second air guide plate 212 can also keep in contact with each other and rotate synchronously to change the direction of the air outlet end of the first air guide assembly 21.

[0048] When the second air guide assembly 22 is used to guide the air out of the air conditioner, the end of the second air guide assembly 22 facing the indoor side is the air outlet end of the second air guide assembly 22. The second air guide assembly 22 can rotate around the second rotation axis L2 to change the direction of the air outlet end of the second air guide assembly 22.

[0049] When the first air guide component 21 is in the matching state, the first air guide plate 211 and the second air guide plate 212 can be rotated synchronously to change the direction of the air outlet end of the first air guide component 21, and the second air guide component 22 can also be rotated to change the direction of the air outlet end of the second air guide component 22. The first air guide component 21 and the second air guide component 22 can be rotated to different angles to adjust different air outlet directions. For example, the air outlet end of the first air guide component 21 can be rotated to face forward and upward, and the air outlet end of the second air guide component 22 can be rotated to face forward; or the air outlet end of the first air guide component 21 can be arranged to face backward and downward, and the air outlet end of the second air guide component 22 can be arranged to face forward and downward; or the air outlet end of the first air guide component 21 and the air outlet end of the second air guide component 22 can be arranged to face the same direction, etc.

[0050] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 6 When the first air guide assembly 21 is in a separated state, the first air guide plate 211 and the second air guide plate 212 are spaced apart to define a first air guide port 213 that is connected to the air outlet 13, so that when the air conditioner is discharged, the airflow can be discharged into the room through the first air guide port 213. At least one of the first air guide plate 211 and the second air guide plate 212 can rotate toward the other to reduce the opening of the first air guide port 213, and at least one of the first air guide plate 211 and the second air guide plate 212 can also rotate in a direction away from the other to increase the opening of the first air guide port 213. The first air guide plate 211 and the second air guide plate 212 can also rotate synchronously in the same direction to change the direction of the first air guide port 213. That is to say, the first air guide assembly 21 can control the air volume and air outlet direction through the first air guide port 213 by rotating the first air guide plate 211 and / or the second air guide plate 212.

[0051] When the first air guide assembly 21 is in the matching state, the second air guide assembly 22 can rotate to change the direction of the air outlet end of the second air guide assembly 22. At this time, the first air guide assembly 21 and the second air guide assembly 22 can cooperate with each other to adjust the air outlet mode of the air conditioner.

[0052] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the air-conditioning indoor unit 100 includes a first air guide component 21 and a second air guide component 22 which can cooperate with each other. The first air guide component 21 has a cooperated state and a separated state. When in the cooperated state, the first air guide component 21 can cooperate with the second air guide component 22 so that the air-conditioning indoor unit 100 has a variety of different air outlet modes, thereby improving the problem of a single air outlet mode of air conditioners in related technologies. When in the separated state, the first air guide component 21 can also cooperate with the second air guide component 22 so that the air-conditioning indoor unit 100 has more air outlet modes. Users can choose different air outlet modes according to different application scenarios, thereby improving the practicality of the air-conditioning indoor unit 100.

[0053] In some embodiments, the first rotation axis L1 is parallel to the second rotation axis L2.

[0054] Through the above technical solution, when the air outlet end of the first air guide component 21 and / or the air outlet end of the second air guide component 22 rotates, in the length direction of the first air guide component 21, the distance between the air outlet end of the first air guide component 21 and the air outlet end of the second air guide component 22 keeps changing synchronously, so that the air conditioning air outlet is more uniform in the length direction of the first air guide component 21.

[0055] In some embodiments, the first rotation axis L1 and the second rotation axis L2 are both parallel to the length direction of the air outlet 13 .

[0056] Through the above technical solution, the length direction of the air outlet ends of the first air guide component 21 and the second air guide component 22 is always parallel to the length direction of the air outlet 13, which is beneficial to reducing wind loss and increasing air output.

[0057] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, the second air guide component 22 can be rotated to cooperate with the inner wall of the air outlet 13, and at least a portion of the second air guide component 22 is located outside the air outlet 13, which is equivalent to extending the length of the air duct 11 through the second air guide component 22, thereby effectively enhancing the effect of the second air guide component 22 in guiding the air outlet of the air conditioner.

[0058] In some further embodiments, the second air guiding assembly 22 is rotatably located on the outer side of the inner bottom wall of the air outlet 13 .

[0059] Through the above technical solution, the second air guide component 22 is arranged on the outer side of the inner bottom wall of the air outlet 13, and the second air guide component 22 can rotate around the second rotation axis L2, so that the second air guide component 22 can control the direction of the airflow flowing out from the inner bottom wall of the air outlet 13 to achieve the effect of wind blowing.

[0060] In some specific embodiments, the second air guide assembly 22 is configured as an air guide plate structure.

[0061] In the above technical solution, the second air guide assembly 22 has a simple structure, which reduces the cost of the air-conditioning indoor unit 100.

[0062] In some embodiments, the first air guide plate 211 and the second air guide plate 212 have a curved surface on one side facing the first rotation axis L1, and the second air guide assembly 22 has a curved surface on one side facing the air outlet 13, so as to improve the air guiding effect of the first air guide plate 211, the second air guide plate 212, and the second air guide assembly 22. In some other embodiments, the first air guide plate 211 and the second air guide plate 212 have a flat surface on one side facing the first rotation axis L1, and the second air guide assembly 22 has a flat surface on one side facing the air outlet 13, so as to reduce the processing cost of the first air guide plate 211, the second air guide plate 212, and the second air guide assembly 22.

[0063] Reference Figure 2 In some embodiments, the air guide module 2 has a shielding state, in which the second air guide component 22 cooperates with the first air guide component 21 to shield the air outlet 13 .

[0064] In the above technical solution, in the shielding state, the air outlet 13 can be shielded by the cooperation of the first air guide component 21 and the second air guide component 22. On the one hand, it can reduce the entry of external dust into the air duct 11, and on the other hand, it can shield the internal structure of the casing 1, thereby improving the aesthetics of the air conditioner indoor unit 100.

[0065] In some embodiments, in the blocking state, the first air guide plate 211 abuts against the second air guide plate 212, and one of the first air guide plate 211 and the second air guide plate 212 abuts against the second air guide assembly 22. That is to say, the first air guide plate 211, the second air guide plate 212 and the second air guide assembly 22 may abut against each other in sequence to block the air outlet 13, or the second air guide plate 212, the first air guide plate 211 and the second air guide assembly 22 may abut against each other in sequence to block the air outlet 13.

[0066] In some specific embodiments, in the blocking state, one end of the second air guide component 22 abuts against the inner bottom wall of the air outlet 13, the other end of the second air guide component 22 abuts against the second air guide plate 212, one end of the second air guide plate 212 away from the second air guide component 22 abuts against the first air guide plate 211, and one end of the first air guide plate 211 away from the second air guide plate 212 abuts against the inner top wall of the air outlet 13, thereby completely blocking the air outlet 13.

[0067] In some other embodiments, the structure of the second air guide component 22 is adapted to the size of the air outlet 13 , the second air guide component 22 can be rotated to completely block the air outlet 13 , and when the second air guide component 22 blocks the air outlet 13 , the first air guide component 21 is located on the inner side of the second air guide component 22 .

[0068] Reference Figure 3 In some embodiments, the air conditioner indoor unit 100 has a cooling air outlet mode. In the cooling air outlet mode, the first air guide component 21 is in a coordinated state, the first air guide component 21 and the second air guide component 22 are respectively rotated to the lower part of the air outlet 13, and at least one of the first air guide component 21 and the second air guide component 22 is rotated to deliver air forward and upward.

[0069] Through the above technical scheme, in the cooling air outlet mode, the first air guide component 21 and the second air guide component 22 are both located at the lower part of the air outlet 13, thereby preventing the air guide module 2 from obstructing the air outlet at the upper part of the air outlet 13, and at least one of the first air guide component 21 and the second air guide component 22 supplies air forward and upward, which can guide the cold air upward to form a skylight-style air supply, thereby improving the cooling effect of the air-conditioning indoor unit 100.

[0070] In some further embodiments, in the cooling air outlet mode, the second air guide component 22 is located below the first air guide component 21, and the first air guide component 21 supplies air forward and upward.

[0071] In the above technical solution, the first wind guide component 21 supplies air forward and upward, and can guide the cold air upward to form a canopy-style air supply. The second wind guide component 22 is arranged below the first wind guide component 21 and can be used for windsurfing to avoid the situation where the airflow below the first wind guide component 21 directly blows the human body.

[0072] In some specific embodiments, in the cooling air outlet mode, the first air guiding component 21 abuts against the second air guiding component 22 or abuts against the inner bottom wall of the air outlet 13 .

[0073] Through the above technical solution, the first air guide component 21 can guide more cold air upward, thereby improving the cooling effect of the air-conditioning indoor unit 100.

[0074] In some specific embodiments, the second air guide assembly 22 is rotatably located outside the inner bottom wall of the air outlet 13. In the cooling air outlet mode, the air outlet end of the second air guide assembly 22 is arranged forward, the first air guide assembly 21 is in a matching state, and the first air guide assembly 21 is in contact with the second air guide assembly 22, and the air outlet end of the first air guide assembly 21 is arranged forward and upward. In addition, in the front-to-back direction of the air conditioner indoor unit 100, the air outlet end of the second air guide assembly 22 is located in front of the air outlet end of the first air guide assembly 21.

[0075] Through the above technical scheme, one end of the first air guide component 21 is abutted against the second air guide component 22, and the other end is set forward and upward, that is, the cross-sectional area of ​​the air outlet 13 is reduced, and the wind speed of the cold air when passing through the air outlet 13 is increased, and the cold air can be blown farther, which is beneficial to the rapid cooling of the whole house. The first air guide component 21 can also guide the air-conditioning outlet forward and upward, further improving the cooling effect of the air-conditioning indoor unit 100; the air outlet end of the second air guide component 22 is located on the front side of the air outlet end of the first air guide component 21, so that the second air guide component 22 can have the effect of wind circulation, avoiding the situation where cold air blows directly on the human body.

[0076] Reference Figure 4 In some embodiments, the air conditioner indoor unit 100 has a heating air outlet mode. In the heating air outlet mode, the first air guide component 21 is in a coordinated state, and the first air guide component 21 and the second air guide component 22 are spaced apart and define an air supply channel for supplying air downward.

[0077] In the heating air outlet mode, the first air guide component 21 and the second air guide component 22 are arranged at intervals, and the air outlet ends of the first air guide component 21 and the second air guide component 22 are both arranged downward, thereby forming an air supply channel for supplying air downward between the first air guide component 21 and the second air guide component 22. When the air conditioner indoor unit 100 is heating, the hot air can be discharged downward through the air supply channel, which is conducive to forming carpet-style air supply and improving the regulating effect of the hot air on the indoor temperature.

[0078] In some embodiments, in the heating air outlet mode, the second air guide component 22 is located below the first air guide component 21, and the second air guide component 22 supplies air downward and forward.

[0079] Through the above technical solution, the second air guide component 22 can not only guide the hot air downward, but also guide the hot air forward, which is beneficial to the diffusion of the hot air in the room and improves the indoor heating speed.

[0080] In some specific embodiments, in the heating air outlet mode, the first air guiding component 21 abuts against the inner top wall of the air outlet 13 .

[0081] Through the above technical solution, the risk of hot air flowing out from the gap between the first air guide component 21 and the inner top of the air outlet 13 is reduced, so that the air guide module 2 can guide more hot air downward, thereby improving the heating effect of the air conditioner indoor unit 100.

[0082] In some specific embodiments, the second air guide assembly 22 is rotatably located on the outside of the inner bottom wall of the air outlet 13. In the heating air outlet mode, the air outlet end of the second air guide assembly 22 is set downward and forward, the first air guide assembly 21 is in a matching state, the first air guide plate 211 is located on the upper side of the second air guide plate 212, the upper end of the first air guide plate 211 abuts against the inner top of the air outlet 13, the lower end of the first air guide plate 211 abuts against the second air guide plate 212, and the lower end of the second air guide plate 212 forms the air outlet end of the first air guide assembly 21. The air outlet end of the first air guide assembly 21 is set backward and downward, so that the air outlet end of the first air guide assembly 21 faces the second air guide assembly 22.

[0083] Through the above technical solution, the first air guide component 21 guides part of the air-conditioning outlet air downward to improve the heating effect of the air-conditioning indoor unit 100. The first air guide component 21 also guides part of the air-conditioning outlet air to the second air guide component 22, and the second air guide component 22 guides the air-conditioning outlet air forward and downward. The cooperation of the first air guide component 21 and the second air guide component 22 further improves the effect of the air guide module 2 in guiding the hot air downward.

[0084] In some further embodiments, in the heating air outlet mode, the second air guide component 22 can rotate around the second rotation axis L2 to form a hot air sweep. The user can also adjust the direction of the air outlet end of the second air guide component 22 by rotating the second air guide component 22, thereby improving the controllability of the hot air outlet direction.

[0085] Reference Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 In some embodiments, the air conditioning indoor unit 100 also includes a wind sweeping mode. In the wind sweeping mode, the air conditioning indoor unit 100 switches between at least two air outlet states, at least one air outlet state in which the first air guide component 21 is in a mating state, and at least one air outlet state in which the first air guide component 21 is in a separated state.

[0086] That is to say, in the wind sweeping mode, the first wind guide component 21 switches between the cooperation state and the separation state, so that the opening of the first air guide port 213 changes continuously, and the second wind guide component 22 can also rotate in the wind sweeping mode to change the flow direction of part of the air flow. In the wind sweeping mode, the cooperation of the first wind guide component 21 and the second wind guide component 22 continuously changes the air outlet of the air conditioner indoor unit 100 to avoid the local wind feeling of the human body caused by the air conditioner blowing in a small range, thereby improving the human comfort.

[0087] Reference Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 In some embodiments, the air conditioner indoor unit 100 includes a first air outlet state, a second air outlet state and a third air outlet state. In the first air outlet state, the first air guide component 21 is in a mating state. In the second and third air outlet states, the first air guide component 21 is in a separated state. The distance between the air outlet end of the first air guide plate 211 and the air outlet end of the second air guide plate 212 is greater in the third air outlet state than in the second air outlet state.

[0088] In the third air outlet state, the opening degree of the first air guide port 213 is greater than that in the second air outlet state, and in the second air outlet state, the opening degree of the first air guide port 213 is greater than that in the first air outlet state.

[0089] In the wind sweeping mode, the air conditioner indoor unit 100 repeatedly switches between the first air outlet state, the second air outlet state and the third air outlet state to continuously change the opening of the first air guide port 213 and the air volume through the first air guide port 213 to avoid excessive local wind sensation on the human body due to the air conditioner blowing in a small range, thereby improving human comfort.

[0090] In some embodiments, in the wind sweeping mode, the air conditioner indoor unit 100 switches to the second wind state after staying in the first wind state for the first set time t1, then switches to the third wind state after staying in the second wind state for the second set time t2, then switches to the second wind state after staying in the third wind state for the third set time t3, then switches to the second wind state again, then switches to the first wind state after staying in the second wind state for the fourth set time t4, and then repeats the above operation to continuously sweep the air. The air conditioner indoor unit 100 is constructed so that the first set time t1, the second set time t2, the third set time t3 and the fourth set time t4 are adjustable, and the user can adjust the specific duration of the first set time t1, the second set time t2, the third set time t3 and the fourth set time t4 according to their own preferences to improve the comfort of the air conditioning.

[0091] Reference Figure 7 In some embodiments, in the third air outlet state, one of the first air guide plate 211 and the second air guide plate 212 is in contact with the second air guide assembly 22, that is, in the third air outlet state, the first air guide plate 211 or the second air guide plate 212 has been rotated to the maximum range of motion. At this time, the opening of the first air guide port 213 is the largest, which effectively increases the variable range of the first air guide port 213 in the sweeping mode, expands the sweeping range of the air outlet of the air conditioner, and is beneficial to improving the wrapping feeling of the air outlet of the air conditioner.

[0092] In some embodiments, in the second air outlet state, the second air guide component 22 is located below the first air guide component 21 and the air outlet end of the second air guide component 22 is disposed toward the first air guide port 213 .

[0093] In the above technical solution, the second air guide component 22 is located below the first air guide component 21, so that a third air guide port 215 is defined between the first air guide plate 211 or the second air guide plate 212 and the second air guide component 22, and the second air guide component 22 is used to guide the direction of the airflow passing through the third air guide port 215. Because the air outlet end of the second air guide component 22 is arranged toward the first air guide port 213, that is to say, the second air guide component 22 can guide the airflow passing through the third air guide port 215 to collide with the airflow passing through the first air guide port 213, and the two airflows disturb each other, thereby reducing the wind speed, improving uniformity, and reducing the feeling of wind.

[0094] In some embodiments, in the first air outlet state, the first air guide component 21 and the second air guide component 22 are spaced apart so that the first air guide component 21 and the second air guide component 22 can guide the air separately, thereby increasing the activity space of the first air guide component 21 and facilitating improving the air sweeping range in the air sweeping mode.

[0095] In some embodiments, when the air-conditioning indoor unit 100 is in the first air outlet state, the first air guide assembly 21 is located at the upper part of the air outlet 13, and the upper end of the first air guide plate 211 abuts against the inner top wall of the air outlet 13, and the lower end of the first air guide plate 211 abuts against the second air guide plate 212, and the second air guide assembly 22 is rotatably located on the outer side of the inner bottom wall of the air outlet 13.

[0096] When the air-conditioning indoor unit 100 switches from the first air outlet state to the third air outlet state, the second air guide plate 212 rotates downward to form a first air guide port 213 between the first air guide plate 211 and the second air guide plate 212, and a third air guide port 215 is defined between the second air guide plate 212 and the inner bottom wall of the air outlet 13. That is to say, when the first air guide assembly 21 is in a separated state, the second air guide plate 212 diverts the air-conditioning outlet, and the air is discharged into the room through the first air guide port 213 and the third air guide port 215 respectively.

[0097] When the air conditioning indoor unit 100 is in the third air outlet state, the second air guide plate 212 abuts against the second air guide assembly 22 or the inner bottom wall of the air outlet 13 , that is, the airflow is only discharged through the first air guide port 213 .

[0098] Reference Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7In some embodiments, when the air-conditioning indoor unit 100 is in the first air outlet state, the first air guide assembly 21 is located at the lower part of the air outlet 13, and the lower end of the second air guide plate 212 abuts against the inner bottom wall of the air outlet 13, and the upper end of the second air guide plate 212 abuts against the first air guide plate 211, and the second air guide assembly 22 is rotatably located on the outer side of the inner bottom wall of the air outlet 13.

[0099] When the air-conditioning indoor unit 100 switches from the first air outlet state to the third air outlet state, the first air guide plate 211 rotates upward so that a first air guide port 213 appears between the first air guide plate 211 and the second air guide plate 212, and a second air guide port 214 is defined between the first air guide plate 211 and the inner top wall of the air outlet 13. That is to say, when the first air guide assembly 21 is in a separated state, the first air guide plate 211 diverts the air-conditioning outlet, and the air is discharged into the room through the first air guide port 213 and the second air guide port 214 respectively.

[0100] When the air conditioning indoor unit 100 is in the third air outlet state, the first air guide plate 211 abuts against the inner top wall of the air outlet 13 , that is, the airflow is only discharged through the first air guide port 213 .

[0101] In some embodiments, when the air-conditioning indoor unit 100 is in the first air outlet state, the first air guide component 21 is located in the middle of the air outlet 13, the lower end of the first air guide plate 211 abuts against the second air guide plate 212, the second air guide outlet 214 is defined between the first air guide plate 211 and the inner top wall of the air outlet 13, and the upper end of the first air guide plate 211 is formed as the air outlet end of the first air guide component 21, and the air outlet end of the first air guide component 21 is arranged forward and upward to guide the airflow passing through the second air guide outlet 214 forward and upward.

[0102] A third air guide port 215 is defined between the second air guide plate 212 and the inner bottom wall of the air outlet 13, that is, when the first air guide assembly 21 is in the first air outlet state, the air-conditioning air is split into two streams and discharged into the room through the second air guide port 214 and the third air guide port 215 respectively.

[0103] The second air guide assembly 22 is rotatably located on the outer side of the inner bottom wall of the air outlet 13 to guide the airflow through the third air guide 215. The air outlet end of the second air guide assembly 22 is arranged forward to guide the airflow through the third air guide 215 forward, thereby avoiding the situation where the air-conditioning air blows directly to the user. Therefore, when the air-conditioning indoor unit 100 is in the first air outlet state, part of the air-conditioning air is sent forward and upward through the second air guide 214, and the other part of the air-conditioning air is sent forward through the third air guide 215. It should be noted that the air-conditioning air is sent forward so that the flow direction of the airflow is completely parallel to the horizontal line, or the flow direction of the airflow has a small angle with the horizontal line.

[0104] When the air-conditioning indoor unit 100 switches from the first air outlet state to the second air outlet state, the first air guide plate 211 rotates upward and the second air guide plate 212 rotates downward, so that a first air guide port 213 is defined between the first air guide plate 211 and the second air guide plate 212, and the second air guide assembly 22 also rotates downward to avoid a smaller opening of the third air guide port 215 due to a smaller distance between the second air guide assembly 22 and the second air guide plate 212.

[0105] When the air conditioner indoor unit 100 is in the second air outlet state, the first air guide plate 211 and the second air guide plate 212 divide the air conditioner outlet into three streams, and discharge them into the room from the first air guide port 213, the second air guide port 214 and the third air guide port 215 respectively. The airflow through the second air guide port 214 is discharged forward and upward under the guidance of the first air guide plate 211, the airflow through the first air guide port 213 is discharged forward and downward, and the airflow through the third air guide port 215 is discharged forward under the guidance of the second air guide assembly 22, so that the airflow through the third air guide port 215 collides with the airflow through the first air guide port 213, and the two airflows disturb each other, thereby reducing the wind speed, improving uniformity, and reducing the wind feeling.

[0106] When the air-conditioning indoor unit 100 switches from the second air outlet state to the third air outlet state, the first air guide plate 211 continues to rotate upward until it abuts against the inner top wall of the air outlet 13, the second air guide plate 212 continues to rotate downward until it abuts against the inner bottom wall of the air outlet 13, and the second air guide assembly 22 also rotates downward to avoid the rotation of the second air guide plate 212.

[0107] When the air-conditioning indoor unit 100 is in the third air outlet state, the air-conditioned air is discharged forward and downward through the first air guide port 213. At this time, the air-conditioning indoor unit 100 has a maximum exhaust volume.

[0108] Reference Fig. 9 , Fig.10 and Fig.11 In some embodiments, in some embodiments, the first air guide plate 211 is respectively provided with a first end plate 2111 and a second end plate 2112 at both ends in the length direction, the first end plate 2111 is connected to the first driving shaft, and the second end plate 2112 is provided with a first avoidance hole; the second air guide plate 212 is respectively provided with a third end plate 2121 and a fourth end plate 2122 at both ends in the length direction, the third end plate 2121 is provided with a second avoidance hole, and the fourth end plate 2122 is provided with a second driving shaft.

The first drive shaft on the first end plate 2111 is inserted through the second avoidance hole on the third end plate 2121, and the second drive shaft on the fourth end plate 2122 is inserted through the first avoidance hole on the second end plate 2112.

[0111] Through the above technical solution, the driving module 3 can drive the first driving shaft and the second driving shaft to rotate respectively, so that the first air guide plate 211 and the second air guide plate 212 can rotate independently without interfering with each other, thereby further improving the rotation flexibility of the first air guide plate 211 and the second air guide plate 212.

The first motor 31 is connected to the first driving shaft for driving the first air guide plate 211 to rotate, and the second motor 32 is connected to the second driving shaft for driving the second air guide plate 212 to rotate.

[0114] In some other embodiments, two ends of the first air guide plate 211 in the length direction are rotatably connected to the housing 1 respectively, and two ends of the second air guide plate 212 in the length direction are rotatably connected to the housing 1 respectively.

[0115] The driving module 3 is arranged in the middle position of the length direction of the first air guide component 21. The driving module 3 includes a first motor 31 and a second motor 32. The output shaft of the first motor 31 and the output shaft of the second motor 32 are arranged back to back. The output shaft of the first motor 31 is connected to the first air guide plate 211 through a connecting rod to drive the rotation of the first air guide plate 211. The output shaft of the second motor 32 is connected to the second air guide plate 212 through a connecting rod to drive the rotation of the second air guide plate 212.

[0116] It should be understood that other situations are also possible, as long as the first air guide plate 211 and the second air guide plate 212 can rotate independently.
