[0055] Figure 1 is a schematic structural diagram of a vertical air conditioner indoor unit according to an embodiment of the present invention; Figure 2 FIG. 1 is a schematic cross-sectional view of a vertical air conditioner indoor unit according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in a specific embodiment, the indoor unit 10 of the vertical air conditioner includes an indoor unit housing 11, a fan 12 and a swing blade assembly 13 arranged in the indoor unit housing 11, at least one side guide plate 14 and at least one front guide plate 15 installed at the air outlet 115 of the indoor unit housing 11. In this embodiment, as Figure 2 As shown, after the indoor air completes heat exchange in the heat exchanger, the airflow is transported to the air duct 111 under the action of the fan 12, and then flows to the air outlet 115 through the swing blade assembly 13, and then blows into the room to adjust the indoor temperature. Here, each air duct 111 is defined by a first wall 113 and a second wall 114 that are spaced apart.

[0056] Figure 3 FIG. 1 is a schematic flow chart of a method for controlling air supply of an indoor unit of a vertical air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 3 As shown, the air supply control method of the embodiment of the present invention includes the following steps:

[0057] Step S100 : In response to a trigger instruction of the user to set air supply parameters, the rotation speed of the fan 12 , the swing angle of the swing blade assembly 13 , the rotation angle of the side guide plate 14 and the rotation angle of the front guide plate 15 are adjusted.

[0058] Step S200: After receiving the user's storage instruction, the current rotation speed of the fan 12, the current swing angle of the swing blade assembly 13, the current rotation angle of the side guide plate 14 and the current rotation angle of the front guide plate 15 are stored and set as the target mode so that the user can call the target mode the next time it is used.

[0059] This embodiment can combine the parameter settings of the side guide plate 14, the front guide plate 15, the swing blade assembly 13 and the fan 12, that is, the user can freely combine the operating parameters of the above four components to achieve a variety of self-adjustable air supply modes, thereby achieving the diversification of self-setting air supply modes.

[0060] In step S100, in response to the trigger instruction of the user setting the air supply parameters, the rotation speed of the fan 12 of the vertical air conditioner indoor unit 10, the swing angle of the swing blade assembly 13, the rotation angle of the side guide plate 14, and the rotation angle of the front guide plate 15 are adjusted according to the air supply parameters set by the user. Specifically, the user can adjust the air supply direction of the vertical air conditioner indoor unit 10 by separately controlling the rotation angles of the side guide plate 14 and the front guide plate 15. In other words, the user can freely adjust the rotation angle of each side guide plate 14 and each front guide plate 15, the swing angle of the swing blade assembly 13, and the wind speed of the fan 12, and freely combine them, so as to realize the diversification of the air supply mode.

[0061] Figure 4 FIG. 1 is a schematic flow chart of a method for controlling air supply of an indoor unit of a vertical air conditioner according to another embodiment of the present invention. Figure 4 As shown, the air supply control method in the embodiment of the present invention specifically includes the following steps:

[0062] Step S110: In response to a trigger instruction from a user to set air supply parameters, a model diagram of the vertical air conditioner indoor unit 10 is displayed.

[0063] Step S120: Displaying the swing position of the swing blade assembly 13, the position of the side guide plate 14, and the position of the front guide plate 15 in the model diagram according to the air supply parameters set by the user.

[0064] Step S130: After receiving the user's confirmation instruction, the rotation speed of the fan 12, the swing angle of the swing blade assembly 13, the rotation angle of the side guide plate 14 and the rotation angle of the front guide plate 15 are adjusted according to the air supply parameters set by the user.

[0065] In step S120, according to the air supply parameters set by the user, the swing position of the corresponding swing blade assembly 13, the position of the side guide plate 14, and the position of the front guide plate 15 can be displayed in the model diagram, so that the user can adjust the required air supply parameters more accurately. In other words, according to the air supply parameters set by the user, the specific air supply effect corresponding to the air supply parameters can be displayed in real time, thereby avoiding the user from adjusting various parameters multiple times and simplifying the operation steps of the user to adjust the air supply mode independently.

[0066] In this embodiment, the device displaying the model image of the vertical air conditioner indoor unit 10 may be a mobile phone APP or a remote controller.

[0067] In a preferred embodiment, after step S110, the following steps are further included:

[0068] After receiving the calling instruction from the user, a pre-stored comparison table of the air supply angle and the air supply distance of the front guide plate 15 in the aggregate air supply mode is displayed, so that the user can set the air supply parameters according to the comparison table.

[0069] In this embodiment, the indoor unit 10 of the vertical air conditioner includes two air ducts 111, which are respectively arranged on the left and right sides of the front of the housing 11. In this embodiment, the two air ducts 111 are symmetrically arranged along the center line of the housing 11. The second walls 114 corresponding to the two air ducts 111 extend in directions away from each other, that is, one of the second walls 114 extends toward the left front of the housing 11, and the other second wall 114 extends toward the right front of the housing 11, and the two second walls 114 are symmetrically arranged along the center line of the housing 11. The first wall 113 of the air duct 111 located on the left side is located on the left side of the second wall 114, and the first wall 113 of the air duct 111 located on the right side is located on the right side of the second wall 114.

[0070] In this embodiment, when the vertical air conditioner indoor unit 10 is in the convergent air supply mode, the left front guide plate 15 rotates to a position where the corresponding second wall 114 forms an air outlet gap that gradually shrinks along the air flow direction at the air outlet 115, and at this time, the left front guide plate 15 and the corresponding second wall 114 form a first air supply angle, so that the air pressure of the air flowing through the air outlet gap at the air outlet 115 increases, thereby increasing the air supply distance. The right front guide plate 15 rotates to a position where the corresponding second wall 114 forms an air outlet gap that gradually shrinks along the air flow direction, and at this time, the right front guide plate 15 and the corresponding second wall 114 form a second air supply angle, so that the air pressure of the air flowing through the air outlet gap at the air outlet 115 increases, and converges with the air flow on the left side, thereby forming a convergent air supply mode with a long-distance air supply effect. That is, the air supply angle formed between the left and right front guide plates 15 and the second wall 114 affects the air supply distance when the vertical air conditioner indoor unit 10 is in the convergent air supply mode. It can be understood that the comparison table has a correspondence between the first air supply angle, the second air supply angle, and the air supply distance. In this embodiment, the larger the air supply angle, the smaller the air outlet gap formed by the front guide plate 15 and the second wall 114, and the larger the aggregate air supply distance formed. Here, the air supply angle formed between the front guide plate 15 and the second wall 114 is the angle formed by the extension line of the front guide plate 15 and the reverse extension line of the second wall 114.

[0071] In this embodiment, the comparison table and the model diagram are in the same interface or different interfaces. In one embodiment, the model diagram is displayed first, and the trigger key of the comparison table is displayed on the interface displaying the model diagram. When the user needs to set the aggregate air supply mode, the comparison table can be displayed by clicking the trigger key. At this time, the comparison table and the model diagram are in the same interface, so that the user can set the air supply parameters of the air conditioner according to the parameters in the comparison table, and the positions of the side guide plate 14 and the front guide plate 15 are displayed in real time on the model diagram. In another embodiment, the comparison table and the model diagram are in different interfaces. Specifically, the model diagram is displayed first, and the trigger key of the comparison table is displayed on the interface displaying the model diagram. When the user needs to set the aggregate air supply mode, after clicking the trigger key, the comparison table is displayed and the model diagram is covered, and a return key is displayed at the same time. That is to say, after determining the required air supply parameters in the comparison table, click the return key to return to the previous interface to set the air supply parameters and display the positions of the side guide plates 14 and the front guide plates 15 in real time in the model diagram on the interface. Here, when the comparison table and the model diagram are in the same interface, the user can more intuitively obtain the specific air supply effect corresponding to the self-set air supply parameters, which simplifies the user's operation steps.

[0072] In this embodiment, the vertical air conditioner indoor unit 10 includes two air outlets 115, each of which is provided with a side guide plate 14 and a front guide plate 15. In this embodiment, step S130 includes the following steps:

[0073] In response to the trigger instruction of the user setting the air supply parameters, the speed of the fan 12 is set to high speed, the swing angle of the swing blade assembly 13 is set to face upward, and the air outlet direction of the front guide plate 15 is set to face the front of the indoor unit housing 11, so as to aggregate the air to the front and upper part of the indoor unit housing 11, forming an aggregate air supply mode. In other words, the front guide plates 15 at the two air outlets 115 are both set to discharge air toward the front of the housing 11, so that the two air flows converge in front of the housing 11, and at this time, the side guide plates 14 at the two air outlets 115 are in a closed state.

[0074] In a preferred embodiment, the two fans 12 inside the vertical air conditioner indoor unit 10 can be turned on separately to put the vertical air conditioner indoor unit 10 in energy-saving mode, and the speeds of the two fans 12 can be set separately. Specifically, the speed of each fan 12 can be divided into three types: high speed, medium speed, and low speed.

[0075] After step S200, the following steps are also included:

[0076] After receiving the modification or deletion instruction from the user, the air supply parameters of the target mode are modified or the target mode is directly deleted. That is to say, if the user no longer needs the above target mode, it can be deleted, thereby saving storage space. Specifically, when the controller receives the modification instruction from the user, an interface for setting the air supply parameters pops up in the air conditioner remote control or mobile phone APP, and the user can reset the required air supply parameters; when the controller receives the deletion instruction from the user, the "Confirm" key and "Cancel" key pop up in the air conditioner remote control or mobile phone APP for the user to choose, so as to avoid the user from accidentally deleting the required target mode. Here, modifying the air supply parameters of the target mode can be to modify any parameter of the current fan 12 speed, the swing angle of the swing blade assembly 13, the rotation angle of the side guide plate 14 and the rotation angle of the front guide plate 15.

[0077] Figure 5 FIG. 1 is a schematic connection block diagram of an air supply control system of an indoor unit of a vertical air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 5As shown, in this embodiment, the air supply control system 100 of the indoor unit 10 of the vertical air conditioner also includes a control module 20, and the control module 20 includes a memory 21 and a processor 22. The memory 21 stores a calculation program, and the calculation program is used to implement the above-mentioned control method when it is executed by the processor 22. The processor 22 can be a central processing unit (CPU), or a digital processing unit, etc. The processor 22 sends and receives data through a communication interface. The memory 21 is used to store the program executed by the processor 22. The memory 21 is any medium that can be used to carry or store the desired program code in the form of instructions or data structures and can be accessed by a computer, or it can be a combination of multiple memories 21. The above-mentioned calculation program can be downloaded from a computer-readable storage medium to a corresponding computing / processing device or downloaded to a computer or an external storage device via a network (such as the Internet, a local area network, a wide area network and / or a wireless network). Here, the control module 20 can be a remote control or a mobile phone APP.

[0078] For the purposes of the description of this embodiment, a "computer-readable medium" may be any device that can contain, store, communicate, propagate or transmit a program for use with an instruction execution system, device or apparatus or in conjunction with such instruction execution systems, devices or apparatuses. More specific examples of computer-readable media (a non-exhaustive list) include the following: an electrical connection having one or more wirings (electronic device), a portable computer disk case (magnetic device), a random access memory (RAM), a read-only memory (ROM), an erasable and editable read-only memory (EPROM or flash memory), an optical fiber device, and a portable compact disk read-only memory (CDROM). In addition, the computer-readable medium may even be paper or other suitable medium on which the program may be printed, because the program may be obtained electronically, for example, by optically scanning the paper or other medium, followed by editing, interpreting or, if necessary, processing in another suitable manner, and then stored in the computer memory 21.

[0079] In this embodiment, if Figure 2As shown, the vertical air conditioner indoor unit 10 also includes an indoor unit shell 11, which extends in a vertical column shape and has at least one air duct 111 formed therein, each air duct 111 is defined by a first wall 113 and a second wall 114 that are spaced apart, and has an air outlet 115 in the shape of a vertical strip; at least one group of air guide components, each group of air guide components includes: a side guide plate 14, which is rotatably arranged at the side of the air outlet 115 of the corresponding air duct 111, and has a first open position that forms an air outlet gap with the first wall 113; a front guide plate 15, which is rotatably arranged at the front of the air outlet 115 of the corresponding air duct 111, and has a second open position that forms air outlet gaps with the second wall 114 and the side guide plate 14 located at the first open position, so that the airflow flowing out of the multiple air outlet gaps is blown toward the front side of the shell 11 under the guidance of the first wall 113, the side guide plate 14, the front guide plate 15 and the second wall 114. Here, each set of air guide components is arranged corresponding to an air duct 111, and each air outlet 115 is in the shape of a vertical bar.

[0080] In this embodiment, if Figure 2 As shown, the vertical air conditioner indoor unit 10 also includes at least one fan 12, each fan 12 is arranged in an air duct 111; at least one swing blade assembly 13, each swing blade assembly 13 is arranged in an air duct 111, and is located downstream of the air flow of the corresponding fan 12. Specifically, the fans 12 are symmetrically distributed in the air duct 111 along the inner center line of the housing 11, and the air volume is controlled by adjusting the rotation speed of the fans 12. The swing blade assemblies 13 are symmetrically distributed in the air duct 111 along the inner center line of the housing 11, and the up and down air flow direction of the air flow is adjusted by adjusting the swing amplitude of the swing blade assemblies 13.

[0081] In this embodiment, the fans 12 inside the shell 11 of the vertical air conditioner indoor unit 10 are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the middle position inside the shell 11, that is, each air duct 111 is correspondingly arranged with a fan 12 so that the air flow flowing out of the fan 12 flows into the corresponding air duct 111.

[0082] Figure 6 yes Figure 2 Schematic diagram of the structure of the swing blade assembly in the indoor unit of the vertical air conditioner shown in FIG. Figure 6As shown, the swing blade assembly 13 includes a plurality of swing blades, each of which is rotatably arranged inside the air duct 111. The swing blade assembly 13 is connected to the first wall 113 of the shell 11, and there is a gap between the swing blade assembly 13 and the second wall 114 of the shell 11, so that the swing blade assembly 13 can swing. Here, the number of swing blades can be designed according to the extension length of the air outlet 115 in the vertical direction. Specifically, the longer the extension length of the air outlet 115 in the vertical direction, the more the number of swing blades, and the shorter the extension length of the air outlet 115 in the vertical direction, the fewer the number of swing blades. In this embodiment, the number of swing blades provided on each first wall 113 is fourteen, and the fourteen swing blades are spaced apart and arranged on the first wall 113 of the shell 11 along the vertical extension direction of the air outlet 115, and the spacing distance is equal.
