[0031] 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.

[0032] Reference below Figure 1-Figure 4 Describing an air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 2-Figure 4 The direction indicated by the arrow in the middle is the direction of air flow.

[0033] refer to Figure 1-Figure 4 The air conditioner according to the embodiment of the present invention comprises: a casing 1 , a heat exchange and air supply assembly 2 , and an air guide plate assembly 3 , wherein the heat exchange and air supply assembly 2 is arranged in the casing 1 .

[0034] The housing 1 of the air conditioner is formed with an air inlet 12, an air outlet 11 and an air outlet passage 13. The air inlet 12, the air outlet 11 and the air outlet passage 13 are connected and arranged, and the external airflow of the air conditioner can enter the housing 1 through the air inlet 12. The heat exchange and air supply assembly 2 includes a heat exchanger component 21 and a fan component 22. The heat exchange and air supply assembly 2 is located on the upstream side of the air outlet passage 13 in the housing 1. The airflow entering the air conditioner exchanges heat with the heat exchanger component 21 to achieve cooling or heating, and is sent to the air outlet passage 13 through the fan component 22. After the airflow flows through the air outlet passage 13, it is sent to the outside of the air conditioner through the air outlet 11 and enters the room.

[0035] The air guide plate assembly 3 includes a main air guide plate 31 and at least one auxiliary air guide plate 32. The main air guide plate 31 is movably disposed at the air outlet 11. The main air guide plate 31 can open or close the air outlet 11 by moving relative to the housing 1. A through hole 311 is formed on the main air guide plate 31 and penetrates the main air guide plate 31 along the thickness direction of the main air guide plate 31. The auxiliary air guide plate 32 is movably disposed at the through hole 311. The auxiliary air guide plate 32 can open or close the through hole 311 by moving relative to the main air guide plate 31.

[0036] The movement of the main air guide plate 31 relative to the housing 1 and the movement of the auxiliary air guide plate 32 relative to the main air guide plate 31 can be controlled independently.

[0037] For example, a through opening 311 is formed on the main air guide plate 31, and the air guide plate assembly 3 includes a secondary air guide plate 32, which is movably disposed at the through opening 311. For another example, a through opening 311 is formed on the main air guide plate 31, and the air guide plate assembly 3 includes a plurality of secondary air guide plates 32, and the plurality of secondary air guide plates 32 can be movably disposed at the through opening 311. For another example, a plurality of through openings 311 are formed on the main air guide plate 31, and the air guide plate assembly 3 includes a plurality of secondary air guide plates 32, the number of the secondary air guide plates 32 is the same as the number of the through openings 311 and corresponds one to one, and each secondary air guide plate 32 can be movably disposed at a corresponding through opening 311. Wherein, when the air guide plate assembly 3 includes a plurality of secondary air guide plates 32, each of the plurality of secondary air guide plates 32 can be independently controlled.

[0038] Among them, the air guide plate assembly 3 can open the air outlet 11 by moving the main air guide plate 31 relative to the casing 1, and the air guide plate assembly 3 can also open the opening 311 on the main air guide plate 31 by moving the auxiliary air guide plate 32 relative to the main air guide plate 31. The air guide plate assembly 3 can also open the air outlet 11 by simultaneously moving the main air guide plate 31 relative to the casing 1 and moving the auxiliary air guide plate 32 relative to the main air guide plate 31 to open the opening 311.

[0039] For example, when the main air guide plate 31 moves relative to the casing 1 to open the air outlet 11, the air flow in the air outlet channel 13 can be blown into the room through the air outlet 11, and by controlling the main air guide plate 31, the air outlet angle, air outlet range, and opening ratio of the air outlet 11 can be controlled, thereby adjusting the air outlet.

[0040] For another example, when the auxiliary air guide plate 32 moves relative to the main air guide plate 31 to open the opening 311 on the main air guide plate 31, the air flow in the air outlet channel 13 can be blown out to the room through the opening 311, and by controlling the auxiliary air guide plate 32, the air outlet angle, air outlet range, and opening ratio of the air flow blown out at the opening 311 can be controlled, thereby adjusting the air outlet.

[0041] For another example, when the main air guide plate 31 moves relative to the casing 1 to open the air outlet 11 and the auxiliary air guide plate 32 moves relative to the main air guide plate 31 to open the opening 311 on the main air guide plate 31, part of the airflow in the air outlet channel 13 can be blown out to the room through the air outlet 11, and another part of the airflow in the air outlet channel 13 can flow into the room through the opening 311 on the main air guide plate 31, so that the airflow in the air outlet channel 13 can flow out to the room from different outlets, and the air volume and air outlet angle of the airflow in the air outlet channel 13 from different outlets can be controlled by controlling the main air guide plate 31 and the auxiliary air guide plate 32.

[0042] Compared with a single air guide plate disposed at the air outlet 11 to adjust the air outlet, the air guide plate assembly 3 of the embodiment of the present invention has more diversified air outlet adjustments.

[0043] According to the air conditioner of the embodiment of the present invention, an air guide plate assembly 3 is provided so that the air guide plate assembly 3 includes a main air guide plate 31 and at least one auxiliary air guide plate 32. The auxiliary air guide plate 32 is rotatably provided at the opening 311 of the main air guide plate 31. The main air guide plate 31 is rotatably provided at the air outlet 11. The state of the air guide plate assembly 3 can be changed by controlling the main air guide plate 31 and the auxiliary air guide plate 32. When the air guide plate assembly 3 is in different states, different air outlet adjustment functions can be formed for the air outlet 11, thereby making the air outlet adjustment of the air guide plate assembly 3 for the air outlet 11 more diversified, so as to provide users with more choices and better meet the user's usage needs.

[0044] refer to Figure 1-Figure 4 According to some embodiments of the present invention, the main air guide plate 31 is rotatable, and the main air guide plate 31 is rotated relative to the housing 1 to open or close the air outlet 11. In addition, by making the main air guide plate 31 rotatable, it is convenient to control the air outlet angle, air outlet range, opening ratio of the air outlet 11, etc. of the air flow at the air outlet 11 by controlling the rotation angle of the main air guide plate 31, so as to better meet the use requirements of the air conditioner.

[0045] refer to Figure 1-Figure 4 According to some embodiments of the present invention, the auxiliary air guide plate 32 is rotatable, and the auxiliary air guide plate 32 is rotated relative to the main air guide plate 31 to open or close the opening 311 of the main air guide plate 31. By making the auxiliary air guide plate 32 rotatable, it is convenient to control the air outlet angle, air outlet range, opening ratio of the airflow at the opening 311 by controlling the rotation angle of the auxiliary air guide plate 32, so as to better meet the use requirements of the air conditioner.

[0046] refer to Figure 1-Figure 4 According to some optional embodiments of the present invention, the main air guide plate 31 is rotatable so that the air outlet 11 can be opened or closed by rotating the main air guide plate 31. The inner wall of the air outlet channel 13 is formed with an avoidance groove 131 for avoiding the main air guide plate 31, and the avoidance groove 131 is arc-shaped. By providing the avoidance groove 131, the interference between the main air guide plate 31 and the inner wall of the casing 1 during the rotation process can be reduced or avoided, and the restriction of the inner wall of the air outlet channel 13 on the rotation angle of the main air guide plate 31 can be reduced, so that the main air guide plate 31 has a larger rotation angle range, and the restriction of the inner wall of the air outlet channel 13 on the air outlet angle of the airflow at the air outlet 11 can be reduced, so that the main air guide plate 31 has a larger adjustment range for the air outlet 11.

[0047] refer to Figure 1-Figure 4According to some embodiments of the present invention, the driving mechanism for driving the main air guide plate 31 to move is a first driving mechanism 4, which is mounted on the casing 1 and connected to the main air guide plate 31, and is used to drive the main air guide plate 31 to move relative to the casing 1. The driving mechanism for driving the auxiliary air guide plate 32 to move is a second driving mechanism 5, which is mounted on the main air guide plate 31 and connected to the auxiliary air guide plate 32, and is used to drive the auxiliary air guide plate 32 to move relative to the main air guide plate 31. Optionally, both the first driving mechanism 4 and the second driving mechanism 5 may include motors. By setting the first driving mechanism 4 and the second driving mechanism 5, the rotation mode and rotation angle of the main air guide plate 31 and the auxiliary air guide plate 32 can be controlled according to the user's usage requirements. By installing the second driving mechanism 5 on the main air guide plate 31, when the main air guide plate 31 opens the air outlet 11 by movement, the second driving mechanism 5 and the auxiliary air guide plate 32 can move together with the main air guide plate 31, which can simplify the structural design between the second driving mechanism 5 and the auxiliary air guide plate 32.

[0048] refer to Figure 1-Figure 4 According to some optional embodiments of the present invention, the main air flow plate 31 includes a main air flow plate body 311 and a fixing plate 313. For example, the main air flow plate body 311 and the fixing plate 313 are integrally formed; or the main air flow plate body 311 and the fixing plate 313 are detachably connected. The fixing plate 313 is arranged on the inner side of the main air flow plate body 311, and the second driving mechanism 5 is installed on the fixing plate 313, so that the second driving mechanism 5 can be installed on the main air flow plate 31. Among them, when the main air flow plate 31 is located at a position closing the air outlet 11, the side of the main air flow plate body 311 facing the inside of the casing 1 is the inner side of the main air flow plate body 311. By making the main air flow plate 31 include the main air flow plate body 311 and the fixing plate 313, so that the second driving mechanism 5 can be installed on the main air flow plate 31 through the fixing plate 313, the installation stability and reliability of the second driving mechanism 5 are improved.

[0049] refer to Figure 1-Figure 4 According to some optional embodiments of the present invention, the main air guide plate 31 is rotatable around a first rotation axis, the auxiliary air guide plate 32 is rotatable around a second rotation axis, and the first rotation axis and the second rotation axis are arranged at intervals along the width direction of the main air guide plate 31. By arranging the first rotation axis and the second rotation axis at intervals along the width direction of the main air guide plate 31, it is convenient for the main air guide plate 31 and the auxiliary air guide plate 32 to rotate in different directions, and by rotating the main air guide plate 31 and the auxiliary air guide plate 32 in different directions, the air outlet 11 has a variety of different air outlet ranges, air outlet angles, etc., thereby enriching the air outlet mode of the air conditioner, so as to provide users with more choices and better meet the user's use needs.

[0050] refer to Figure 1-Figure 4According to some embodiments of the present invention, the main air guide plate 31 includes a main air guide plate body 311, and the auxiliary air guide plate 32 includes an auxiliary air guide plate body 321. The main air guide plate body 311 is formed with a through opening 311. When the auxiliary air guide plate 32 is located at a position to close the through opening 311, the auxiliary air guide plate body 321 covers the through opening 311, and the outer surface of the auxiliary air guide plate body 321 is flush with the outer surface of the main air guide plate body 311. When the main air guide plate 31 is located at a position to close the air outlet 11, the surface of the main air guide plate 31 facing the outside of the housing 1 is the outer surface of the main air guide plate 31; when the auxiliary air guide plate 32 is located at a position to close the through opening 311, the surface of the auxiliary air guide plate 32 facing the outside of the housing 1 is the outer surface of the auxiliary air guide plate 32. By arranging the outer surface of the auxiliary air guide plate 321 flush with the outer surface of the main air guide plate 311, the covering effect of the auxiliary air guide plate 321 on the opening 311 can be improved. When the opening 311 is not opened, the airflow through the opening 311 is prevented from flowing toward different angles or positions, thereby reducing or avoiding the impact on the air conditioning effect of the air conditioner.

[0051] refer to Figure 1-Figure 4 According to some embodiments of the present invention, the main air guide plate 31 includes a main air guide plate body 311, and the auxiliary air guide plate 32 includes an auxiliary air guide plate body 321. The main air guide plate body 311 is formed with a through opening 311. When the auxiliary air guide plate 32 is located at a position closing the through opening 311, the auxiliary air guide plate body 321 covers the through opening 311, and the inner surface of the auxiliary air guide plate body 321 is flush with the inner surface of the main air guide plate body 311. When the main air guide plate 31 is located at a position closing the air outlet 11, the side surface of the main air guide plate 31 facing the inside of the housing 1 is the inner surface of the main air guide plate 31; when the auxiliary air guide plate 32 is located at a position closing the through opening 311, the side surface of the auxiliary air guide plate 32 facing the inside of the housing 1 is the inner surface of the auxiliary air guide plate 32. By making the inner surface of the auxiliary air guide plate 321 flush with the inner surface of the main air guide plate 311, the covering effect of the auxiliary air guide plate 321 on the opening 311 can be improved. When the opening 311 is not opened, the airflow at the air outlet 11 is prevented from flowing toward different angles or positions through the opening 311, so as to reduce or avoid the impact on the air conditioning effect of the air conditioner.

[0052] refer to Figure 1 According to some embodiments of the present invention, when the air conditioner is in the off state, the main air guide plate 31 is located at a position closing the air outlet 11, and the auxiliary air guide plate 32 is located at a position closing the through-port 311. This arrangement allows the air outlet 11 and the through-port 311 of the air conditioner to be covered when the air conditioner is in the off state, so as to reduce or prevent dust or water vapor outside the air conditioner from entering the air conditioner, causing adverse effects on the use of the air conditioner.

[0053] refer to Figure 1-Figure 4According to some embodiments of the present invention, when the air guide plate assembly 3 is in different states, the air guide plate assembly 3 can open the air outlet 11 in different ways, so that the air conditioner can have at least one of the first working mode, the second working mode and the third working mode.

[0054] Among them, the air conditioner has at least one of the first working mode, the second working mode and the third working mode, including the following situations: for example, the air conditioner has any one working mode among the first working mode, the second working mode and the third working mode; for example, the air conditioner has any two working modes among the first working mode, the second working mode and the third working mode; for example, the air conditioner has three working modes: the first working mode, the second working mode and the third working mode.

[0055] Among them, in the first working mode, the main air guide plate 31 is in the position of closing the air outlet 11, and the auxiliary air guide plate 32 opens the opening 311. For example, the auxiliary air guide plate 32 rotates outward to open the opening 311, and the airflow flowing through the air outlet channel 13 in the casing 1 enters the room through the opening 311.

[0056] In the second working mode, the main air guide plate 31 moves relative to the housing 1 to open the air outlet 11 , the auxiliary air guide plate 32 is located at a position to close the opening 311 , and the airflow flowing through the air outlet channel 13 in the housing 1 enters the room through the air outlet 11 .

[0057] In the third working mode, the main air guide plate 31 moves relative to the casing 1 to open the air outlet 11, and the auxiliary air guide plate 32 opens the opening 311. For example, the auxiliary air guide plate 32 rotates inward to open the opening 311. At this time, the air conditioner has two different air outlet paths. The airflow flowing through the air outlet channel 13 in the casing 1 can directly enter the room through the air outlet 11, or the airflow flowing through the air outlet channel 13 in the casing 1 can enter the room through the air outlet 11 and the opening 311.

[0058] It should be noted that the outward rotation of the auxiliary air guide plate 32 means that the auxiliary air guide plate 32 rotates relative to the main air guide plate 31 in a direction away from the air outlet channel 13, and the inward rotation of the auxiliary air guide plate 32 means that the auxiliary air guide plate 32 rotates relative to the main air guide plate 31 in a direction close to the air outlet channel 13.

[0059] By providing the air conditioner with at least one of the first working mode, the second working mode and the third working mode, it is convenient for users to select different working modes according to their needs, so as to better meet the user's usage needs and improve the user experience.

[0060] refer to Figure 1-Figure 4According to some optional embodiments of the present invention, the air outlet channel 13 has a first side wall 132 and a second side wall 133 that are arranged opposite to each other along the width direction of the air outlet 11, the second side wall 133 is located above the first side wall 132, and the main air guide plate 31 is rotatable around the first rotation axis, for example, the main air guide plate 31 is rotatable around the first rotation axis in a direction away from the air outlet channel 13. The auxiliary air guide plate 32 is rotatable around the second rotation axis, for example, the auxiliary air guide plate 32 is rotatable around the second rotation axis in a direction away from the air outlet channel 13, or the auxiliary air guide plate 32 is rotatable around the second rotation axis in a direction close to the air outlet channel 13. The first rotation axis and the second rotation axis are spaced apart along the width direction of the main air guide plate 31, and the first rotation axis is closer to the second side wall 133 than the second rotation axis. By making the main air guide plate 31 rotatable around the first rotation axis and making the first rotation axis closer to the second side wall 133 relative to the second rotation axis, when the air outlet 11 is opened by rotating the main air guide plate 31, the air flow can be guided by the main air guide plate 31 to flow more toward the lower part of the room, and the air outlet angle and air outlet range at the air outlet 11 can be adjusted by the rotation angle of the main air guide plate 31. By making the auxiliary air guide plate 32 rotatable around the second rotation axis and making the first rotation axis closer to the second side wall 133 relative to the second rotation axis, when the passage 311 is opened by rotating the auxiliary air guide plate 32, the air flow can be guided by the auxiliary air guide plate 32 to flow more toward the upper part of the room, and the air outlet angle and air outlet range at the passage 311 can be adjusted by the rotation angle of the auxiliary air guide plate 32.

[0061] Optionally, when the air conditioner is in cooling mode, the auxiliary air guide plate 32 can be rotated around the second rotating axis in a direction away from the air outlet channel 13, and the air conditioner can be adjusted to the first working mode, so that the airflow entering the room through the opening 311 flows more toward the indoor ceiling, so as to optimize the cooling comfort of the air conditioner.

[0062] Optionally, when the air conditioner is in heating mode, the main air guide plate 31 can be rotated around the first axis in a direction away from the air outlet channel 13, and the air conditioner can be adjusted to the second working mode, so that the airflow entering the room through the air outlet 11 flows more toward the indoor wall, so as to optimize the heating comfort of the air conditioner.

[0063] Optionally, when the air conditioner is in cooling mode or heating mode, the main air guide plate 31 can be rotated around the first rotation axis in the direction away from the air outlet channel 13, and the auxiliary air guide plate 32 can be rotated around the second rotation axis in the direction close to the air outlet channel 13, and the air conditioner is adjusted to the third working mode, so that part of the airflow in the air outlet channel 13 directly enters the room through the air outlet 11, and the remaining part of the airflow in the air outlet channel 13 enters the room through the air outlet 11 and the passage 311 under the joint guiding action of the main air guide plate 31 and the auxiliary air guide plate 32. The airflow speed at the air outlet 11 and the passage 311 of the air conditioner can be reduced, thereby avoiding discomfort to the user caused by the airflow directly blowing on the human body, thereby improving the comfort of the air conditioner.

[0064] refer to Figure 2 According to some optional embodiments of the present invention, the air outlet channel 13 has a first side wall 132 and a second side wall 133 which are arranged opposite to each other along the width direction of the air outlet 11, and the first side wall 132 and the second side wall 133 are used to guide the airflow to flow toward the air outlet 11. The first working mode includes an air volume increase mode. In the air volume increase mode, the auxiliary air guide plate 32 is rotated relative to the main air guide plate 31 so that the auxiliary air guide plate 32 is located on the downstream side of the first side wall 132 to extend the air outlet length of the first side wall 132. By locating the auxiliary air guide plate 32 on the downstream side of the first side wall 132, the auxiliary air guide plate 32 can guide the airflow in accordance with the airflow direction in the air outlet channel 13 to extend the air outlet length of the first side wall 132, and the air volume of the airflow entering the room through the opening 311 can be increased, thereby further improving the air conditioning effect of the air conditioner.

[0065] refer to Figure 1-Figure 4 According to some optional embodiments of the present invention, the air outlet 11 is formed on the front side of the housing 1, and the first side wall 132 is located at the lower side of the air outlet channel 13. The airflow can be guided to flow toward the air outlet 11 through the first side wall 132. When the air conditioner is in the air volume increase mode of the first working mode, the airflow can be guided to flow more toward the indoor (e.g., the ceiling) to improve the cooling comfort of the air conditioner. By forming the air outlet 11 on the front side of the housing 1, the airflow entering the room through the air outlet 11 can be facilitated to better regulate the indoor air.

[0066] refer to Figure 1-Figure 4 According to some optional embodiments of the present invention, the air outlet 11 is formed on the front side of the housing 1, and the first side wall 132 is located on the upper side of the air outlet channel 13. The airflow can be guided to flow toward the air outlet 11 through the first side wall 132. When the air conditioner is in the air volume increase mode of the first working mode, the airflow can be guided to flow more toward the lower part of the room (such as the wall) to improve the heating comfort of the air conditioner. By forming the air outlet 11 on the front side of the housing 1, the airflow entering the room through the air outlet 11 can better regulate the indoor air.

[0067] refer to Figure 1-Figure 4 According to some optional embodiments of the present invention, the air outlet channel 13 has a first side wall 132 and a second side wall 133 that are oppositely arranged along the width direction of the air outlet 11, and the second side wall 133 is located above the first side wall 132. The airflow in the air flow channel flows to the air outlet 11 under the guidance of the first side wall 132 and the second side wall 133. In the second working mode or in the third working mode, the upper end of the main air guide plate 31 contacts the second side wall 133, and the main air guide plate 31 is located in front of the first side wall 132 and is spaced apart from the first side wall 132.

[0068] In the second working mode, the main air guide plate 31 opens the air outlet 11, and the auxiliary air guide plate 32 covers the opening 311. The airflow in the air outlet channel 13 flows downward through the air outlet 11 under the guiding effect of the main air guide plate 31. Optionally, in the heating mode of the air conditioner, the main air guide plate guides the airflow to flow downward (for example, toward the wall) in the room, so as to optimize the heating comfort of the air conditioner.

[0069] In the third working mode, the main air guide plate 31 opens the air outlet 11, and the auxiliary air guide plate 32 opens the passage 311. The main air guide plate 31 can guide the airflow to flow downward in the room, and the auxiliary air guide plate 32 can guide the airflow to flow upward in the room. Under the guiding action of the main air guide plate 31 and the auxiliary air guide plate 32, the airflow in the air outlet channel 13 flows into the room through different air outlet paths. Part of the airflow directly enters the room through the air outlet 11; the rest of the airflow enters the room through the air outlet 11 and the air outlet 11, which can reduce the airflow speed at the air outlet 11 and the passage 311 of the air conditioner, avoid discomfort to the user caused by the airflow directly blowing on the human body, and improve the comfort of the air conditioner.

[0070] By making the upper end of the main air guide plate 31 contact with the second side wall 133, the main air guide plate 31 is located in front of the first side wall 132 and separated from the first side wall 132. The air flow direction can be adjusted by the guiding effect of the main air guide plate 31 to optimize the air conditioning effect of the air conditioner. For example, in the heating mode of the air conditioner, the heating comfort of the air conditioner can be optimized.

[0071] Next, we will refer to Figure 1-Figure 4 Air conditioners according to some embodiments of the present invention are described.

[0072] like Figure 1-Figure 4As shown, in this embodiment, the air conditioner is a split wall-mounted air conditioner, and the air conditioner includes an air-conditioning indoor unit 100 and an air-conditioning outdoor unit. The air-conditioning indoor unit 100 includes the above-mentioned casing 1, a heat exchange air supply component 2 and an air guide plate component 3. The casing 1 is formed with an air inlet 12, an air outlet 11 and an air outlet channel 13. The heat exchange air supply component 2 is arranged in the casing 1, and the heat exchange air supply component 2 is arranged on the upstream side of the air outlet channel 13. The air guide plate component 3 is arranged at the air outlet 11 of the casing 1.

[0073] The air inlet 12 is located at the upper part of the housing 1, and the indoor air flow can enter the air conditioner through the air inlet 12. The air outlet 11 is located at the front side of the housing 1 near the lower part, and the air flow in the air conditioner can enter the room through the air outlet 11. The air outlet channel 13 has a first side wall 132 and a second side wall 133 arranged opposite to each other along the width direction of the air outlet 11, and the second side wall 133 is located above the first side wall 132, and the first side wall 132 and the second side wall 133 are used to guide the air flow to flow toward the air outlet 11. The heat exchange and air supply assembly 2 includes a heat exchanger component 21 and a fan component 22. The air flow entering the air conditioner through the air inlet 12 flows through the heat exchanger component 21 and exchanges heat with the heat exchanger component 21, which can achieve the effect of cooling or heating the air flow; then the air flow will flow through the fan component 22, and flow into the air outlet channel 13 under the drive of the fan component 22, and then flow to the air outlet 11 through the air outlet channel 13, and can enter the room through the air outlet 11.

[0074] The air guide plate assembly 3 includes a main air guide plate 31 and an auxiliary air guide plate 32. The main air guide plate 31 is disposed at the air outlet 11, and the main air guide plate 31 can cover the air outlet 11. The main air guide plate 31 is formed with a through hole 311 penetrating along the thickness direction of the main air guide plate 31. The through hole 311 is located within the region of the air outlet 11. The auxiliary air guide plate 32 is disposed at the through hole 311, and the auxiliary air guide plate 32 can cover the through hole 311. The main air guide plate 31 includes a main air guide plate body 311 and a fixing plate 313. The fixing plate 313 is located at one end of the main air guide plate body 311 in the width direction of the main air guide plate 31.

[0075] The air conditioner also includes a first driving mechanism 4 and a second driving mechanism 5. The first driving mechanism 4 is installed on the casing 1, and the first driving mechanism 4 is connected to the main air guide plate 31. The first driving mechanism 4 can drive the main air guide plate 31 to rotate relative to the casing 1; the second driving mechanism is installed on the main air guide plate 31, and the second driving mechanism 5 is fixedly connected to the fixing plate 313. The second driving mechanism 5 can drive the auxiliary air guide plate 32 to rotate relative to the main air guide plate 31.

[0076] like Figure 1 , Figure 3As shown, the first driving mechanism 4 is disposed near the second side wall 133 of the air outlet channel 13, and the first driving mechanism 4 can drive the main air guide plate 31 to rotate around the first rotation axis. The first rotation axis is also near the second side wall 133 of the air outlet channel 13, and an arc-shaped avoidance groove 131 for avoiding the main air guide plate 31 is formed on the second side wall 133 of the air outlet channel 13. The first driving mechanism 4 can drive the main air guide plate 31 to rotate around the first rotation axis in a direction away from the air outlet channel 13 to open the air outlet 11; the first driving mechanism 4 can drive the main air guide plate 31 to rotate around the first rotation axis in a direction close to the air outlet channel 13 to close the air outlet 11.

[0077] like Figure 1-Figure 2 As shown, the second driving mechanism 5 is disposed at one end of the main air guide plate 31 close to the first side wall 132 of the air outlet channel 13, and the second driving mechanism 5 drives the auxiliary air guide plate 32 to rotate around the second rotation axis, and the second rotation axis is also close to the first side wall 132 of the air outlet channel 13. The second driving mechanism 5 can drive the auxiliary air guide plate 32 to rotate around the second rotation axis in a direction away from the air outlet channel 13 or close to the air outlet channel 13. Figure 2 As shown, when the main air guide plate 31 is located at the position of closing the air outlet 11, the second driving mechanism 5 can drive the auxiliary air guide plate 32 to rotate around the second rotation axis in the direction away from the air outlet channel 13 to open the opening 311, and the second driving mechanism 5 can drive the main air guide plate 31 to rotate around the second rotation axis in the direction close to the air outlet channel 13 to close the opening 311. Figure 4 As shown, when the dominant wind is at the position to open the air outlet 11, the second driving mechanism 5 can drive the auxiliary air guide plate 32 to rotate around the second rotating axis toward the direction close to the first side wall 132 to open the opening 311, and the second driving mechanism 5 can drive the auxiliary air guide plate 32 to rotate around the second rotating axis toward the direction away from the air outlet channel 13 to close the opening 311.

[0078] By controlling the air guide plate assembly 3 through the first drive mechanism 4 and the second drive mechanism 5, the working state of the air guide plate assembly 3 can be changed, and the air outlet adjustment of the air guide plate assembly 3 to the air outlet 11 can be made more diversified, so that the air conditioner has a first working mode, a second working mode and a third working mode.

[0079] Next, we will refer to Figure 1-Figure 4 The states of the air guide plate assembly 3 in different working modes of the air conditioner are described.

[0080] like Figure 1 As shown, the air conditioner is in the off mode, the main air guide plate 31 is in the position of closing the air outlet 11, and the auxiliary air guide plate 32 is in the position of closing the opening 311.

[0081] like Figure 2As shown, the auxiliary air guide plate 32 is driven by the second driving mechanism 5 to rotate around the second rotating shaft in a direction away from the air outlet channel 13 to open the through hole 311, and the air conditioner is switched to the first working mode. At this time, the airflow in the air outlet channel 13 will enter the room through the through hole 311, and the airflow will flow toward the upper part of the room. In the first working mode, when the auxiliary air guide plate 32 rotates to a position conforming to the extension direction of the second side wall 133, the auxiliary air guide plate 32 is located on the downstream side of the first side wall 132, which can extend the air outlet length of the first side wall 132 and enhance the flow rate of the airflow discharged through the through hole 311. At this time, the air conditioner is in the air volume increase mode of the first working mode.

[0082] like Figure 3 As shown, the first driving mechanism 4 drives the main air guide plate 31 to rotate around the first rotating axis in a direction away from the air outlet channel 13 to open the air outlet, and the air conditioner switches to the second working mode. At this time, the airflow in the air outlet channel 13 enters the room through the air outlet 11, and the airflow flows toward the bottom of the room.

[0083] like Figure 4 As shown, the main air guide plate 31 is driven by the first driving mechanism 4 to rotate around the first rotating axis toward the direction away from the air outlet channel 13, and the auxiliary air guide plate 32 is driven by the second driving mechanism 5 to rotate around the second rotating axis toward the direction close to the air outlet channel 13, and the air conditioner is switched to the third working mode. At this time, under the common guiding effect of the main air guide plate 31 and the auxiliary air guide plate 32, the airflow in the air outlet channel 13 enters the room through different air outlet paths, wherein part of the airflow enters the room directly through the air outlet 11, and the rest of the airflow enters the room through the air outlet 11 and the passage 311.
