[0041] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and cannot be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0042] Reference below Figure 1-Figure 11 A control method of the air conditioner 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention is described.

[0043] like Figure 1 As shown, the control method of the air conditioner according to the embodiment of the present invention comprises the following steps:

[0044] Obtaining the air supply mode instruction input by the user;

[0045] According to the air supply mode instruction, the driving component is controlled to operate so that the air conditioner enters the target air supply mode.

[0046] Among them, the air supply modes of the air conditioner 1 may include two or more than two types, and the target air supply mode may be a long-distance air supply mode, a wind curtain air supply mode, a downward air supply mode, etc.

[0047] like Figure 3-Figure 6 As shown, the air conditioner 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes an air guide ring assembly 10, an air guide cover assembly 20 and a drive assembly 30. The air guide ring assembly 10 includes an air guide ring 11. The air guide ring 11 has a first air duct 101, an air inlet 102 and an air outlet 103. The air inlet 102 and the air outlet 103 are both connected to the first air duct 101.

[0048] The air guide cover assembly 20 is arranged at the air outlet 103, and the air guide cover assembly 20 includes an air guide cover 21 and an air guide piece 22. The air guide cover 21 has a second air duct 201, a first air guide port 202 and a second air guide port 203. The first air guide port 202 and the second air guide port 203 are both connected to the second air duct 201. The first air guide port 202 is arranged opposite to the air outlet 103, and the second air guide port 203 is located on the periphery of the air outlet 103. The air guide piece 22 is arranged on the air guide cover 21 to open and close the first air guide port 202.

[0049] The driving assembly 30 can be in transmission connection with the air guide member 22 , and the driving assembly 30 can drive the air guide member 22 to move so that the air guide member 22 opens and closes the first air guide port 202 .

[0050] Specifically, when the driving component 30 drives the air guide member 22 to open the first air guide port 202, the air entering from the air inlet 102 can flow through the first air duct 101 and flow out from the air outlet 103. Since the air outlet 103 is arranged opposite to the first air guide port 202, the air flowing out from the air outlet 103 can flow out from the first air guide port 202; when the driving component 30 drives the air guide member 22 to close the first air guide port 202, the air entering from the air inlet 102 can flow through the first air duct 101 and then flow out from the air outlet 103. Since the first air guide port 202 is in a closed state, the air flowing out from the air outlet 103 cannot flow out from the first air guide port 202.

[0051] The driving assembly 30 can also be connected to the air guide cover 21 or the air guide member 22 in a transmission manner. The driving assembly 30 can drive the air guide cover 21 and the air guide member 22 to move synchronously in a direction away from or close to the air guide ring 11, so that the air guide ring 11 can open and close the second air guide port 203.

[0052] Specifically, when the driving component 30 drives the air guide cover 21 and the air guide piece 22 to move synchronously in a direction away from the air guide ring 11, the air guide ring 11 opens the second air guide port 203, and the air entering from the air inlet 102 can flow through the first air duct 101, flow out from the air outlet 103, and then flow out from the second air guide port 203; when the driving component 30 drives the air guide cover 21 and the air guide piece 22 to move synchronously in a direction close to the air guide ring 11, the air guide ring 11 closes the second air guide port 203, and the air entering from the air inlet 102 can flow through the first air duct 101, and then flow out from the air outlet 103. Since the second air guide port 203 is in a closed state, the air flowing out from the air outlet 103 cannot flow out from the second air guide port 203.

[0053] Therefore, the driving component 30 can switch between multiple air supply modes by driving the air guide member 22 to open and close the first air guide port 202, and by driving the air guide cover 21 and the air guide member 22 to move synchronously in a direction away from or close to the air guide ring 11.

[0054] According to the control method of the air conditioner 1 in the embodiment of the present invention, an air outlet device 100 is arranged on the air conditioner body 400. By controlling the working state of the driving component 30, a variety of air supply modes can be realized. When the airflow flows out from the second air guide port 203, that is, the airflow flows out from the periphery of the air guide cover 21, the airflow will realize a "surround" wind feeling along the wall direction. Compared with the technical solution of setting a windless mesh cover in the related art, it will neither reduce the wind speed nor increase the power consumption and noise, nor will it blow directly on the human body; compared with the cross-flow cabinet in the related art, the formed wind curtain has a wider range and a wider wind sweeping area, which effectively meets the user's experience of different wind feelings.

[0055] Among them, Figure 5 As shown, the air guide ring assembly 10 also includes a wind wheel 12 and a wind wheel motor 13. The wind wheel 12 and the wind wheel motor 13 are arranged in the first air duct 101. The wind wheel motor 13 is connected to the wind wheel 12. The wind wheel motor 13 is used to drive the wind wheel 12 to rotate, so that external air enters the first air duct 101 from the air inlet 102 and flows toward the air outlet 103, and finally flows out from the first air guide port 202 or the second air guide port 203.

[0056] Specifically, when the air conditioner 1 enters the target air supply mode, the wind wheel motor 13 is controlled to work to drive the wind wheel 12 to rotate, so that the wind wheel 12 can drive the external air into the first air duct 101, and then flow out in the set direction, and finally flow out from the predetermined air guide port, thereby realizing the target air supply mode and meeting the user's usage needs.

[0057] like Figure 2 As shown, according to some embodiments of the present invention, controlling the driving component to operate so that the air conditioner enters the target air supply mode includes:

[0058] Determine that the air supply mode instruction is a long-distance air supply mode instruction, control the driving component to run forward to drive the air guide member to open the first air guide port, and drive the air guide cover and the air guide member to move toward the direction close to the air guide ring, so that the air guide ring closes the second air guide port.

[0059] Specifically, when the air supply mode instruction input by the user is a long-distance air supply mode instruction, the driving component 30 is controlled to operate in the forward direction, and the driving component 30 can drive the air guide member 22 to open the first air guide port 202. At the same time, the driving component 30 can drive the air guide cover 21 and the air guide member 22 to move synchronously in the direction close to the air guide ring 11, so that the air guide ring 11 closes the second air guide port 203.

[0060] The air entering from the air inlet 102 can flow through the first air duct 101 and flow out from the air outlet 103. Since the first air outlet 202 is in an open state and the second air outlet 203 is in a closed state, and the air outlet 103 is arranged opposite to the first air outlet 202, the air flowing out from the air outlet 103 can flow out from the first air outlet 202, thereby realizing long-distance air supply.

[0061] Here, "forward operation" is a relative term, which means that the drive component 30 runs in a clockwise direction or in a counterclockwise direction, depending on the structure and location of each component.

[0062] Therefore, by controlling the driving component 30 to operate in the forward direction, the driving component 30 can be used to drive the air guide member 22 to open the first air guide port 202, and drive the air guide cover 21 and the air guide member 22 to move toward the direction close to the air guide ring 11, so that the air guide ring 11 closes the second air guide port 203. In this way, when the air guide ring assembly 10 is working, the air entering the first air duct 101 can flow out from the first air guide port 202, thereby realizing long-distance air supply.

[0063] In some embodiments, when controlling the driving assembly to rotate in the forward direction, it also includes: detecting the moving distance of the air guide cover 21 and / or the air guide member 22, and when the moving distance reaches a preset distance, controlling the driving assembly 30 to stop operating.

[0064] By detecting the moving distance of the air guide cover 21 and / or the air guide member 22, the drive assembly 30 can be controlled to stop running when the air guide cover 21 and / or the air guide member 22 moves to the position of closing the second air guide port 203, thereby preventing the drive assembly 30 from being damaged due to overload, which is beneficial to ensuring the reliability of the drive assembly 30 and improving the service life of the air conditioner 1.

[0065] like Figure 2 As shown, according to some embodiments of the present invention, controlling the driving component to operate so that the air conditioner enters the target air supply mode includes:

[0066] Determine that the air supply mode instruction is the wind curtain air supply mode instruction, control the driving component 30 to rotate in the opposite direction to drive the air guide member 22 to close the first air guide port 202, and drive the air guide cover 21 and the air guide member 22 to move away from the air guide ring 11, so that the air guide ring 11 opens the second air guide port 203.

[0067] Specifically, when the air supply mode instruction input by the user is a wind curtain air supply mode instruction, the driving component 30 is controlled to operate in reverse. The driving component 30 can drive the air guide member 22 to close the first air guide port 202. At the same time, the driving component 30 can drive the air guide cover 21 and the air guide member 22 to move synchronously in a direction away from the air guide ring 11, so that the air guide ring 11 opens the second air guide port 203.

[0068] The air entering from the air inlet 102 can flow through the first air duct 101 and flow out from the air outlet 103. Since the first air guide port 202 is in a closed state and the second air guide port 203 is in an open state, the second air guide port 203 is located at the periphery of the air outlet 103. Therefore, the air flowing out of the air outlet 103 can flow out from the second air guide port 203, thereby forming a wind curtain at the periphery of the air outlet 103.

[0069] Among them, "reverse operation" is a relative term, relative to the above-mentioned "forward operation", if the forward operation of the driving component 30 is that the driving component 30 runs in the clockwise direction, then the reverse operation of the driving component 30 is that the driving component 30 runs in the counterclockwise direction, and vice versa. It is specifically set according to the structure and setting position of each component.

[0070] Therefore, by controlling the driving component 30 to operate in reverse, the driving component 30 can be used to drive the air guide member 22 to close the first air guide port 202, and drive the air guide cover 21 and the air guide member 22 to move in a direction away from the air guide ring 11, so that the air guide ring 11 opens the second air guide port 203. In this way, when the air guide ring assembly 10 is working, the air entering the first air duct 101 can flow out from the second air guide port 203, thereby realizing air discharge from the periphery of the air outlet 103.

[0071] In some embodiments, when controlling the driving assembly 30 to rotate in the reverse direction, it also includes: detecting the moving distance of the air guide cover 21 and / or the air guide member 22, and when the moving distance reaches a preset distance, controlling the driving assembly 30 to stop operating.

[0072] By detecting the moving distance of the air guide cover 21 and / or the air guide member 22, when the air guide cover 21 and / or the air guide member 22 moves to the position of opening the second air guide port 203, the drive assembly 30 can be controlled to stop running to prevent the drive assembly 30 from being damaged due to overload, which is beneficial to ensuring the reliability of the drive assembly 30 and improving the service life of the air conditioner 1.

[0073] It should be noted that the air outlet direction of the air conditioner 1 in the air supply mode when the first air guide outlets 202 are in a closed state and the second air guide outlets 203 are in an open state is determined by the number of the second air guide outlets 203 .

[0074] When there is only one second air guide port 203 and it is located below the air guide cover 21, the airflow will only flow out along the bottom of the air guide cover 21, and the air supply state at this time is only the downward air supply mode, which is suitable for conveying hot air downward. When the second air guide port 203 is located above the air guide cover 21, the airflow will only flow out along the top of the air guide cover 21, and the air supply state at this time is the upward air supply mode, which is suitable for conveying cold air upward.

[0075] When the number of the second air guide outlets 203 is two and they are located on the left and right sides of the air guide cover 21, the air flow will only flow out along the left and right sides of the air guide cover 21. The air supply state at this time is the left and right air supply mode, which is suitable for the left and right strong wind circulation mode. In this air supply mode, efficient circulation of indoor air can be achieved while avoiding direct blowing to the user.

[0076] The greater the number of the second air guide ports 203 is, the more directional surfaces of airflow scattering will be formed, and the velocity of the airflow will be further reduced.

[0077] like Figure 6 , Fig.14 As shown, in this embodiment, the number of the second air guide ports 203 is 8. It can be seen from the simulation cloud map of the air conditioner 1 that at this time, there are 8 air jets, and the jet energy is lower than that of the long-distance air supply mode, and the wind speed is lower. Therefore, in order to ensure that the airflow has a certain air supply distance, the number of the second air guide ports 203 of a single air outlet device 100 can be controlled to be 1 to 10. When the air supply mode is the wind curtain air supply mode, it is recommended to select 8 air outlets 103.

[0078] In some embodiments, there are multiple second air guide outlets 203, and the multiple second air guide outlets 203 are arranged circumferentially at the air outlet 103. Specifically, when the second air guide outlet 203 disposed on the upper part of the air guide cover 21 is in an open state, air can be discharged upwards, when the second air guide outlet 203 disposed on the lower part of the air guide cover 21 is in an open state, air can be discharged downwards, when the second air guide outlet 203 disposed on the left side of the air guide cover 21 is in an open state, air can be discharged to the left, and when the second air guide outlet 203 disposed on the right side of the air guide cover 21 is in an open state, air can be discharged to the right.

[0079] Furthermore, the air conditioner 1 also includes a baffle assembly (not shown in the figure), which is used to open and close at least a part of the multiple second air guide outlets 203. For example, the baffle assembly can open and close the second air guide outlets 203 located at the top, bottom, left or right side of the air guide cover 21, thereby achieving multi-directional air outlet.

[0080] like Figure 2 As shown, according to some embodiments of the present invention, controlling the driving component to operate so that the air conditioner enters the target air supply mode includes:

[0081] Determine that the air supply mode instruction is the downward air supply mode instruction, control the driving component 30 to rotate in the opposite direction to drive the air guide member 22 to close the first air guide port 202, and drive the air guide cover 21 and the air guide member 22 to move in the direction away from the air guide ring 11, so that the air guide ring 11 opens the second air guide port 203, and also control the baffle assembly to close a part of the multiple second air guide ports 203 so that the second air guide ports 203 located at the lower part of the air guide cover 21 are opened.

[0082] Specifically, when the air supply mode instruction input by the user is obtained as a lower air supply mode instruction, the driving component 30 is controlled to run in the reverse direction, and the driving component 30 can drive the air guide member 22 to close the first air guide port 202. At the same time, the driving component 30 can drive the air guide cover 21 and the air guide member 22 to move synchronously in a direction away from the air guide ring 11, so that the air guide ring 11 opens the second air guide port 203. In addition, the baffle assembly is controlled to close the remaining second air guide portions of the plurality of second air guide ports 203 except for the second air guide portions located at the lower part of the air guide cover 21, so that only the second air guide ports 203 located at the lower part of the air guide cover 21 among the plurality of second air guide ports 203 are in an open state.

[0083] The air entering from the air inlet 102 can flow through the first air duct 101 and flow out from the air outlet 103. Since the first air guide port 202 is in a closed state and the second air guide port 203 located at the lower part of the air guide cover 21 is in an open state, the air flowing out from the air outlet 103 can flow out from the second air guide port 203 located at the lower part of the air guide cover 21, thereby achieving downward air supply.

[0084] Therefore, by controlling the driving component 30 to operate in reverse, the driving component 30 can be used to drive the air guide member 22 to close the first air guide port 202, and drive the air guide cover 21 and the air guide member 22 to move in a direction away from the air guide ring 11, so that the air guide ring 11 opens the second air guide port 203. In this way, when the air guide ring assembly 10 is working, the air entering the first air duct 101 can flow out from the second air guide port 203, thereby realizing air discharge from the periphery of the air outlet 103.

[0085] Based on the above embodiments, the present invention further proposes a computer-readable storage medium on which a computer program is stored. When the computer program is executed by a processor, the control method of the air conditioner 1 as described in the above embodiments is implemented.

[0086] According to the air conditioner 1 of the embodiment of the present invention, the air conditioner 1 executes the control method of the air conditioner 1 as described in the above embodiment.

[0087] According to the air conditioner 1 of the embodiment of the present invention, an air outlet device 100 is arranged on the air conditioner body 400. By controlling the working state of the driving component 30, a variety of air supply modes can be realized. When the airflow flows out from the second air guide port 203, that is, the airflow flows out from the periphery of the air guide cover 21, the airflow will realize a "surround" wind feeling along the wall direction. Compared with the technical solution of setting a windless mesh cover in the related art, it will neither reduce the wind speed nor increase the power consumption and noise, nor will it blow directly on the human body; compared with the cross-flow cabinet in the related art, the formed wind curtain has a wider range and a wider wind sweeping area, which effectively meets the user's experience of different wind feelings.

[0088] The following is combined with Figure 1-Figure 15 An air conditioner 1 according to some embodiments of the present invention is described.

[0089] like Figure 3-Figure 6 , Fig.15 As shown, the air conditioner 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention includes an air conditioner body 400 , an air outlet device 100 , an acquisition component 500 and a control device 600 .

[0090] The air conditioner body 400 may have a PTC heating device and a heat exchanger therein. The air outlet device 100 is disposed on the air conditioner body 400 . The air outlet device 100 includes an air guide ring assembly 10 , an air guide cover assembly 20 and a driving assembly 30 .

[0091] The air guide ring assembly 10 includes an air guide ring 11 . The air guide ring 11 has a first air duct 101 , an air inlet 102 and an air outlet 103 . The air inlet 102 and the air outlet 103 are both connected to the first air duct 101 .

[0092] The air guide cover assembly 20 is arranged at the air outlet 103, and the air guide cover assembly 20 includes an air guide cover 21 and an air guide member 22. The air guide cover 21 has a second air duct 201, a first air guide port 202 and a second air guide port 203. The first air guide port 202 and the second air guide port 203 are both connected to the second air duct 201. The first air guide port 202 is arranged opposite to the air outlet 103, and the second air guide port 203 is located at the periphery of the air outlet 103. The air guide member 22 is arranged on the air guide cover 21 to open and close the first air guide port 202.

[0093] The driving assembly 30 can be connected to the air guide 22 by transmission, and the driving assembly 30 can drive the air guide 22 to move, so that the air guide 22 opens and closes the first air guide port 202. Specifically, when the driving assembly 30 drives the air guide 22 to open the first air guide port 202, the air entering from the air inlet 102 can flow through the first air duct 101 and flow out from the air outlet 103. Since the air outlet 103 is arranged opposite to the first air guide port 202, the air flowing out from the air outlet 103 can flow out from the first air guide port 202; when the driving assembly 30 drives the air guide 22 to close the first air guide port 202, the air entering from the air inlet 102 can flow through the first air duct 101 and then flow out from the air outlet 103. Since the first air guide port 202 is in a closed state, the air flowing out from the air outlet 103 cannot flow out from the first air guide port 202.

[0094] The driving assembly 30 can also be connected to the air guide cover 21 or the air guide member 22 in a transmission manner. The driving assembly 30 can drive the air guide cover 21 and the air guide member 22 to move synchronously in a direction away from or close to the air guide ring 11, so that the air guide ring 11 can open and close the second air guide port 203. Specifically, when the driving component 30 drives the air guide cover 21 and the air guide piece 22 to move synchronously in a direction away from the air guide ring 11, the air guide ring 11 opens the second air guide port 203, and the air entering from the air inlet 102 can flow through the first air duct 101, flow out from the air outlet 103, and then flow out from the second air guide port 203; when the driving component 30 drives the air guide cover 21 and the air guide piece 22 to move synchronously in a direction close to the air guide ring 11, the air guide ring 11 closes the second air guide port 203, and the air entering from the air inlet 102 can flow through the first air duct 101, and then flow out from the air outlet 103. Since the second air guide port 203 is in a closed state, the air flowing out from the air outlet 103 cannot flow out from the second air guide port 203.

[0095] The acquisition component 500 is used to acquire the air supply mode instruction of the air conditioner 1. The control device 600 controls the driving component 30 to operate so that the air conditioner 1 enters the target air supply mode according to the air supply mode instruction acquired by the acquisition component 500.

[0096] Among them, the air conditioner 1 has a long-distance air supply mode and a wind curtain air supply mode. In the long-distance air supply mode, the air guide member 22 opens the first air guide port 202, and the driving component 30 drives the air guide cover 21 and the air guide member 22 to move toward the direction close to the air guide circle 11 so that the air guide circle 11 closes the second air guide port 203. In the wind curtain air supply mode, the air guide member 22 closes the first air guide port 202 and drives the air guide cover 21 and the air guide member 22 to move toward the direction away from the air guide circle 11 so that the air guide circle 11 opens the second air guide port 203.

[0097] According to the air conditioner 1 of the embodiment of the present invention, an air outlet device 100 is arranged on the air conditioner body 400. By controlling the working state of the driving component 30, a variety of air supply modes can be realized. When the airflow flows out from the second air guide port 203, that is, the airflow flows out from the periphery of the air guide cover 21, the airflow will realize a "surround" wind feeling along the wall direction. Compared with the technical solution of setting a windless mesh cover in the related art, it will neither reduce the wind speed nor increase the power consumption and noise, nor will it blow directly on the human body; compared with the cross-flow cabinet in the related art, the formed wind curtain has a wider range and a wider wind sweeping area, which effectively meets the user's experience of different wind feelings.

[0098] Among them, Figure 5 As shown, the air guide ring assembly 10 also includes a wind wheel 12 and a wind wheel motor 13. The wind wheel 12 and the wind wheel motor 13 are arranged in the first air duct 101. The wind wheel motor 13 is connected to the wind wheel 12. The wind wheel motor 13 is used to drive the wind wheel 12 to rotate, so that external air enters the first air duct 101 from the air inlet 102 and flows toward the air outlet 103, and finally flows out from the first air guide port 202 or the second air guide port 203.

[0099] Specifically, when the air conditioner 1 enters the target air supply mode, the wind wheel motor 13 is controlled to work to drive the wind wheel 12 to rotate, so that the wind wheel 12 can drive the external air into the first air duct 101, and then flow out in the set direction, and finally flow out from the predetermined air guide port, thereby realizing the target air supply mode and meeting the user's usage needs.

[0100] like Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the wind guide ring 11 includes a mounting seat 111 and a wind guide outer ring 112, the wind guide outer ring 112 is arranged on the outer periphery of the mounting seat 111, and the wind guide outer ring 112 is connected to the mounting seat 111 through a plurality of connecting ribs 113, and an air outlet 103 is formed between the wind guide outer ring 112 and the mounting seat 111. The wind wheel motor 13 and the wind wheel 12 can be mounted on the mounting seat 111.

[0101] like Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, according to some embodiments of the present invention, the air inlet 102 and the air outlet 103 are arranged at the axial ends of the air guide ring 11, the air guide cover 21 is arranged in a sleeve arrangement with the air guide ring 11, and the air guide cover 21 has an end wall 211 and a peripheral wall 212, the peripheral wall 212 of the air guide cover 21 extends circumferentially along the end wall 211 of the air guide cover 21, and a second air duct 201 is defined between the end wall 211 of the air guide cover 21 and the peripheral wall 212 of the air guide cover 21, the end wall 211 of the air guide cover 21 is arranged opposite to the air outlet 103, the first air guide port 202 is arranged on the end wall 211 of the air guide cover 21, and the second air guide port 203 is arranged on the peripheral wall 212 of the air guide cover 21, so that the second air guide port 203 is located on the outer periphery of the air outlet 103.

[0102] That is to say, the airflow flowing through the air guide ring 11 is axial air inlet and axial air outlet. When the first air guide port 202 is in an open state and the second air guide port 203 is in a closed state, the airflow flowing through the air guide cover 21 is axial air inlet and axial air outlet. When the first air guide port 202 is in a closed state and the second air guide port 203 is in an open state, the airflow flowing through the air guide cover 21 is axial air inlet and circumferential air outlet.

[0103] Among them, the air guide cover 21 is movable between a first position and a second position along the axial direction of the air guide ring 11. When the air guide cover 21 is in the first position (a position close to the air guide ring 11), the air guide ring 11 partially extends into the second air duct 201, so that the air guide ring 11 closes the second air guide port 203, so that the air entering the first air duct 101 cannot flow out from the second air guide port 203. When the air guide cover 21 is in the second position (a position away from the air guide ring 11), the air guide ring 11 avoids the second air guide port 203, so that the air guide ring 11 opens the second air guide port 203, so that the air entering the first air duct 101 can flow out from the second air guide port 203.

[0104] Therefore, by arranging the air guide cover 21 and the air guide ring 11 in a nested manner, the air guide ring 11 can be used to open and close the second air guide outlet 203, so that when the air conditioner 1 is in a long-distance air supply mode, the air guide ring 11 closes the second air guide outlet 203, and when the air conditioner 1 is in a wind curtain air supply mode, the air guide ring 11 opens the second air guide outlet 203.

[0105] like Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the end wall 211 forms a grille structure, and the second air guide outlets 203 include a plurality of second air guide outlets 203, which are arranged circumferentially on the peripheral wall 212, and a guide rib 213 is provided between two adjacent second air guide outlets 203, and the plurality of guide ribs 213 are slidably matched with the first guide holes 1101 on the air guide ring 11, so that the air guide cover 21 can move more smoothly relative to the air guide ring 11.

[0106] like Figure 9-12 As shown, in some embodiments, the air guide member 22 includes a plurality of air guide groups 222, and the plurality of air guide groups 222 are arranged in the circumferential direction of a circle, and each air guide group 222 can switch between an expanded state and a folded state. When the plurality of air guide groups 222 are in the expanded state, the air guide member 22 closes the first air guide port 202, and when the plurality of air guide groups 222 are in the folded state, the air guide member 22 opens the first air guide port 202.

[0107] Each wind guide group 222 includes a plurality of wind guide plates 2221. In some embodiments, the plurality of wind guide plates 2221 can be flexibly deformed and flexibly connected, so that each wind guide group 222 can switch between an expanded state and a folded state. In other embodiments, in order to ensure the sealing of the wind guide member 22 to the first air guide port 202, it is necessary to ensure that there is no gap between two adjacent wind guide plates 2221 after the plurality of wind guide plates 2221 are expanded. The upper and lower surfaces of any two adjacent wind guide plates 2221 in each wind guide group 222 can be wrapped with a flexible material such as rubber, or a reflux groove structure can be provided.

[0108] A limiting ring 214 and a plurality of limiting ribs 216 are provided on the air guide cover 21. The limiting ring 214 is provided with a plurality of limiting grooves 215 arranged in its circumferential direction. Each limiting groove 215 extends in the circumferential direction of the limiting ring 214. A plurality of limiting ribs 216 are provided in the limiting ring 214 and arranged in the circumferential direction of a circle. Each limiting rib 216 extends in the circumferential direction of the circle. A plurality of air guide groups 222 correspond one to one with the plurality of limiting ribs 216 and the plurality of limiting grooves 215. The two ends of the plurality of air guide plates 2221 in each air guide group 222 are slidably matched with the corresponding limiting grooves 215 and the corresponding limiting ribs 216 respectively.

[0109] like Figure 9-12 As shown, in some embodiments, the driving assembly 30 includes a driving motor 31, a first transmission mechanism 32, and a second transmission mechanism 33. The driving motor 31 is disposed on the air guide cover 21, and the driving motor 31 is connected to the air guide cover 21 through the first transmission mechanism 32. The driving motor 31 can drive the air guide cover 21 to move along the axial direction of the air guide ring 11, so that the air guide ring 11 can open and close the second air guide port 203. The driving motor 31 is connected to the second transmission mechanism 33, and the driving motor 31 can drive the plurality of air guide groups 222 to switch between the expanded state and the retracted state, so that the air guide member 22 opens and closes the first air guide port 202.

[0110] In some specific embodiments, the first transmission mechanism 32 includes a screw 321, which is threadedly engaged with the mounting base 111 of the air guide ring 11. When the driving motor 31 drives the screw 321 to rotate, since the position of the air guide ring 11 is fixed relative to the air conditioner body 400, the screw 321 will drive the air guide cover 21 to move relative to the air guide ring 11, thereby causing the air guide ring 11 to open and close the second air guide port 203.

[0111] In order to ensure that the air guide cover 21 can move more smoothly, a guide bracket 322 is provided on the mounting seat 111. The guide bracket 322 has a plurality of guide columns 3221 arranged at intervals in the circumferential direction of a circle. The plurality of guide columns 3221 slidably cooperate with the plurality of second guide holes 1102 on the mounting seat 111.

[0112] like Figure 9-12As shown, in some embodiments, the second transmission mechanism 33 includes a driving gear 331, a driven gear 332 and a transmission gear 333, the driving gear 331 is connected to the driving motor 31, and the driven gear 332 is transmission-connected to the driving gear 331 through the transmission gear 333. Specifically, the driving gear 331 and the driven gear 332 are sleeved and rotate around a fixed axis, and the driven gear 332 is transmission-connected to the multiple air guide groups 222, so that when the driven gear 332 rotates, the multiple air guide groups 222 are driven to switch between the expanded state and the retracted state.

[0113] The second transmission mechanism 33 further includes a rotating member 334, which is rotatably disposed on the air guide cover 21 and a driven gear 332 is disposed on the rotating member 334. The rotating member 334 includes a driving ring 3341 and a plurality of driving arms 3342, the driven gear 332 is connected to the inner peripheral wall 212 of the driving ring 3341 to drive the driving ring 3341 to rotate when the driven gear 332 rotates, the plurality of driving arms 3342 are connected to the outer peripheral wall 212 of the driving ring 3341 and are arranged in the circumferential direction of the driving ring 3341, and the plurality of driving arms 3342 are slidably matched with the plurality of limiting ribs 216 on the air guide cover 21 in a one-to-one correspondence to drive the plurality of air guide plates 2221 of the corresponding air guide group 222 to slide along the limiting ribs 216, so that the corresponding air guide group 222 can be switched between the expanded state and the retracted state.

[0114] When the user turns on the "wind curtain air supply mode" of the air conditioner 1, the control device sends a control command. After the driving component 30 receives the control command, the motor shaft of the driving motor 31 rotates in the opposite direction. On the one hand, it can drive the screw 321 to rotate, and use the screw 321 to push out the air guide cover assembly 20 (the air guide cover 21 and the air guide member 22), so that the air guide ring 11 opens the second air guide port 203. On the other hand, the driving motor 31 drives the driving gear 331 to rotate, and then drives the rotating member 334 to rotate through the driven gear 332. The rotating member 334 can drive multiple air guide groups 222 to switch from a folded state to an expanded state, thereby closing the first air guide port 202.

[0115] The air entering the first air duct 101 flows out from the air outlet 103 of the air guide ring 11, enters the second air duct 201, and is finally discharged from the second air guide 203 and diffused into the room. Since the airflow discharged from the plurality of second air guides 203 has a certain diffusion angle, there is no airflow disturbance in front of the air conditioner 1. At the same time, the airflow flowing out from the side of the air conditioner 1 surrounds the wall, thereby forming an embracing airflow.

[0116] When the user turns on the "long-distance air supply mode" of the air conditioner 1, the control device sends a control command. After the drive component 30 receives the command, the motor shaft of the drive motor 31 rotates in the forward direction. On the one hand, it can drive the screw 321 to rotate, and use the screw 321 to retract the air guide cover assembly 20 (the air guide cover 21 and the air guide member 22) to make the air guide ring 11 close the second air guide port 203. On the other hand, the drive motor 31 drives the driving gear 331 to rotate, and then drives the rotating member 334 to rotate through the driven gear 332. The rotating member 334 can drive multiple air guide groups 222 to switch from the expanded state to the retracted state, thereby opening the first air guide port 202.

[0117] The air entering the first air duct 101 flows out from the air outlet 103 of the air guide ring 11 and directly flows out from the first air guide port 202, turning on the long-distance air supply mode to speed up the circulation of indoor air.

[0118] According to the air conditioner 1 of the embodiment of the present invention, the direct blowing prevention effect can be achieved by changing the air outlet direction of the airflow without affecting the air volume and noise. At the same time, due to the existence of the wall attachment effect, the airflow will realize a "surround" wind feeling along the wall direction. On the basis of the wind wheel 12 adopting an axial flow fan or a centrifugal wind wheel 12, the air supply capacity can be increased and the air supply range can be expanded.

[0119] like Fig.13 and Fig.14 This is a wind field simulation diagram of the air conditioner 1 in the "long-distance air supply mode" and "wind curtain air supply mode". It can be clearly seen that when the air conditioner 1 turns on the "long-distance air supply mode", the airflow energy is gathered to form a long-distance air supply wind field, and the wind speed directly in front of the air conditioner 1 reaches 2-3m / s; when the air conditioner 1 turns on the "wind curtain air supply mode", the airflow in the first air duct 101 enters the second air duct 201, and then turns. The airflow flows out from the outer periphery of the wind guide cover 21. Affected by the wall attachment effect, the airflow forms a "surround" wind feeling mode along the wall, and the wind speed directly in front of the air conditioner 1 is below 0.3m / s.

In the description of the present invention, a first feature "above", "above" and "above" a second feature may include the first feature being directly above and obliquely above the second feature, or may simply mean that the first feature is higher in level than the second feature.
