[0035] In the description of this embodiment, it should be understood that the terms "length", "width", "height", "up", "down", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "bottom", "inside", "outside", "front", "back", etc. indicate orientations or positional relationships based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the referred device or element must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be understood as a limitation on the present invention.

[0036] As a specific embodiment of the present invention, Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this embodiment discloses an air conditioner 100, wherein the air conditioner 100 may include a body 200, at least one air supply duct 300, and an air outlet duct 500 disposed at the end of each air supply duct 300, wherein an evaporator 220, a condenser 230, a compressor 240, and a fan 250 are disposed in the body 200. One end of each air supply duct 300 is connected to the body 200, and the other end extends to the target object 400, and the air outlet duct 500 disposed at the end of each air supply duct 300 is located at the target object 400. After the evaporator 220 in the body 200 exchanges heat with the gas, the gas is blown to the air outlet duct 500 through the air supply duct 300 by the fan 250 and then flows into the target object 400. Specifically, the air outlet duct 500 of this embodiment may include an air outlet 510 . When the air outlet duct 500 is installed at the target object 400 , the plane where the air outlet 510 is located forms a continuous surface with the side wall surface of the target object 400 located on at least one side of the air outlet 510 .

[0037] When the air outlet duct 500 of this embodiment is installed on the target object 400, the surface where the air outlet 510 is located forms a continuous surface with the side wall surface of the target object 400 located on at least one side of the air outlet 510, so that the air outlet duct 500 can be integrated into the side wall of the target object 400, and thus the air outlet duct 500 is basically integrated with the target object 400 when installed on the target object 400, thereby avoiding the air outlet duct 500 from appearing abrupt and improving the aesthetics of the air supply duct 500.

[0038] Specifically, the target object 400 of this embodiment may be a room or a cabinet, etc. The side wall surface 401 of the target object 400 may be a wall surface of a room or a surface of a cabinet. The air outlet 510 of the air outlet duct 500 is exposed on the wall surface or the surface of the cabinet, and the air outlet 510 and the wall surface or the cabinet surface located on at least one side of the air outlet 510 are continuous surfaces, so that the air outlet 510 can be not obtrusive with the wall surface or the cabinet surface, and the air outlet duct 500 is integrated with the wall or the cabinet, thereby improving the appearance.

[0039] More specifically, when the air outlet duct 500 of this embodiment is installed at the target object 400, the air outlet 510 and the side wall surface 401 of the target object 400 located around the air outlet 510 form a continuous surface. In this way, the air outlet duct 500 and the side wall of the target object 400 can be more integrated, further improving the aesthetics.

[0040] As a specific embodiment of the present invention, the air outlet duct 500 of this embodiment has an air outlet surface, and an air outlet 510 is arranged at the air outlet surface 502. The air outlet surface 502 can be a curved surface or a flat surface. The air outlet surface 502 of this embodiment is a flat surface. Specifically, when the air outlet duct 500 of this embodiment is installed at the target object 400, the air outlet surface 502 and the side wall surface 401 of the target object 400 located on at least one side of the air outlet surface 502 form a continuous surface. This increases the aesthetics of the air outlet duct 500 when it is arranged at the target object 400.

[0041] Furthermore, when the air outlet duct 500 of this embodiment is installed at the target object 400, the air outlet surface 502 and the side wall surface 401 of the target object 400 located around the air outlet surface 502 form a continuous surface. This further improves the aesthetics of the air outlet duct 500 when it is installed at the target object 400.

[0042] As a specific example, Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the cross section of the air outlet duct 500 of this embodiment can be a right triangle, wherein the air outlet surface 502 is an inclined surface, and the air outlet 510 is arranged on the air outlet surface 502. The surface where the two right-angled sides are located is installed on the wall, so that a continuous surface is formed between the plane where the air outlet surface 502 is located and the wall, and the air outlet duct 500 only exposes the air outlet surface 502 and the air outlet 510. The continuous surface is not a plane, but a folded surface. There is a certain angle between the air outlet surface 502 and the surface of the wall, and the angle may be related to the design of the air outlet surface 502. For example, when the cross section of the air outlet duct 500 is an isosceles right triangle, the angle between its air outlet surface 502 and the surface of the wall is 135°. Specifically, when the air outlet duct 500 with a triangular cross section is arranged on the wall, since the air outlet surface 502 is continuous with the surface of the wall, the air outlet duct 500 is integrated with the wall, and the appearance is beautiful.

[0043] When the cross section of the air outlet duct 500 is a quadrilateral, Figure 6 Two sides of the air outlet duct 500 can be installed with the top and side walls of the target object 400, and the air outlet 510 can be set at one of the other two sides or at both of them.

[0044] Preferably, when the cross section of the air outlet duct 500 is a quadrilateral, Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, a substantially continuous surface is formed between the plane where the air outlet 510 is located and the exposed surface of the target 400 around the air outlet 510 .

[0045] More preferably, if Figure 8 As shown, the plane where the air outlet 510 of this embodiment is located is in the same plane as the side wall surface of the target 400 near the air outlet 510. At this time, it is necessary to open a mounting groove on the target 400, embed the air outlet duct 500 into the mounting groove, and only expose the air outlet surface 502 or the air outlet 510.

[0046] More specifically, the continuity described in this embodiment does not mean that the air outlet or the air outlet cover and the outside of the side wall must be strictly on the same plane, curved surface or folded surface. When the air outlet 510 or the air outlet surface 502 protrudes or recesses about 1-2 cm outside the side wall, it can also be regarded as a continuous surface or the same plane.

[0047] As a specific embodiment of the present invention, Fig. 9 and Fig.10 As shown, a mounting structure (not shown in the figure) is provided at the side wall 570 of the air outlet duct 500 of this embodiment, and the mounting structure may include a magnetic attraction structure or a clamping structure to be mutually attracted or clamped with a mounting bracket 580 at the target object 400 so that the air outlet duct 500 is installed at the target object 400. Specifically, one mounting bracket 580 may be installed with one air outlet module 501, or multiple air outlet modules 501 may be installed.

[0048] Specifically, Fig.10 As shown, a slot 581 is provided on the mounting bracket 580 of this embodiment, and a buckle structure (not shown in the figure) corresponding to the slot 581 is provided on the side wall 570 of the air outlet duct 500. When installing the air outlet duct 500, the mounting bracket 580 and the target object 400 can be fixed first, and then the air outlet duct 500 can be snapped into the slot 581 of the mounting bracket 580. The mounting bracket 580 of this embodiment can simultaneously install two air outlet modules 501.

[0049] Specifically, the mounting bracket 580 is connected to the target object 400, and the mounting structure of the air outlet duct 500 is then connected to the mounting bracket 580 by magnetic attraction or snap-on connection, so that the air outlet duct 500 can be quickly and flexibly installed at the target object 400, and the air outlet duct 500 after installation can only expose the air outlet surface 502 or the air outlet 510.

[0050] As a specific embodiment of the present invention, the mounting bracket 580 of this embodiment may include a connecting portion 582 and a mounting portion 583. The connecting portion 582 connects the mounting portion 583, and the mounting bracket 580 is connected to the target object 400 through the connecting portion 582. The mounting portion 583 may be provided with a magnetic attraction structure or a card slot 581, which cooperates with the mounting structure to connect the air outlet duct 500 to the mounting bracket 580.

[0051] Specifically, the mounting bracket 580 of this embodiment may include at least two mutually connected mounting brackets, and each mounting bracket 580 includes a connecting portion 582 and a mounting portion 583. The connecting portion 582 and the mounting portion 583 form an L-shaped structure. The connecting portion 582 can extend at least two air outlet modules 501, increase the strength of the mounting bracket 580, and can simultaneously install at least two air outlet modules 501, simplifying the installation process.

[0052] 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.
