[0039] The embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below. The examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, where the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements with the same or similar functions from beginning to end. The embodiments described below by referring to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as a limitation of the present invention.

[0040] The air conditioner indoor unit 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0041] As Figure 1 shown, the air conditioner indoor unit 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention includes: a housing 10 and an air - guiding plate 20.

[0042] The housing 10 includes a main body part 11 and a movable panel 12. The movable panel 12 is movably arranged on the front side of the main body part 11. An air outlet channel 111 is arranged in the main body part 11, and the movable panel 12 is provided with a first air - dispersing area 121 for dispersing air.

[0043] Among them, the first air-dispersing area 121 on the movable panel 12 is used to disperse the air, so that the air flow discharged from the air outlet channel 111 diverges after passing through the first air-dispersing area 121, forming an experience of no wind feeling. For example, the first air-dispersing area 121 includes a plurality of first air-dispersing holes 1211 arranged at intervals, and the first air-dispersing holes 1211 with smaller apertures disperse the air flow to form an experience of no wind feeling; alternatively, the first air-dispersing area 121 includes a first hole structure and a first air-dispersing fan arranged in the first hole structure, and the first air-dispersing fan disperses the air flow to form an experience of no wind feeling.

[0044] The air deflector 20 is rotatably arranged in the air outlet channel 111 to guide the air flow direction, and the air deflector 20 is provided with a second air-dispersing area 21 for dispersing the air.

[0045] Among them, the second air-dispersing area 21 on the air deflector 20 is used to disperse the air, so that the air flow discharged from the air outlet channel 111 diverges after passing through the second air-dispersing area 21, forming an experience of no wind feeling. For example, the second air-dispersing area 21 includes a plurality of second air-dispersing holes 211 arranged at intervals, and the second air-dispersing holes 211 with smaller apertures disperse the air flow to form an experience of no wind feeling; alternatively, the second air-dispersing area 21 includes a second hole structure and a second air-dispersing fan arranged in the second hole structure, and the second air-dispersing fan disperses the air flow to form an experience of no wind feeling.

[0046] The air conditioner indoor unit 100 has a no-wind-feeling mode. In the no-wind-feeling mode, the movable panel 12 moves to be spaced from the front side of the main body 11 to define a guiding air space 122. The lower end of the guiding air space 122 is communicated with the air outlet channel 111 to guide the air flow to the first air-dispersing area 121, and the air deflector 20 rotates to at least block part of the air outlet channel 111 so that the air flow passes through the second air-dispersing area 21.

[0047] That is to say, the air flow discharged from the air outlet channel 111 at least passes through the first air-dispersing area 121 and the second air-dispersing area 21. The cooperation of the first air-dispersing area 121 and the second air-dispersing area 21 has a larger air-dispersing area compared with the single solution of the first air-dispersing area or the second air-dispersing area in the related art, reduces the wind resistance, and increases the air discharge volume.

[0048] For example, the first air-dispersing area 121 includes 10 first air-dispersing holes 1211, and the second air-dispersing area 21 includes 5 second air-dispersing holes 211. In the related art, there are only 10 first air-dispersing holes or 5 second air-dispersing holes, while the present application is provided with 10 first air-dispersing holes 1211 and 5 second air-dispersing holes 211, which has a larger air-dispersing area, reduces the wind resistance, and increases the air discharge volume.

[0049] Among them, the movable panel 12 is movable relative to the main body 11. In the no-wind-sensation mode, the movable panel 12 moves to a spaced position in front of the main body 11 to define a wind guiding space 122. Compared with the solution in the related art where the panel member is fixed on the air conditioner main body and forms an air flow channel with the air conditioner main body, the movable panel 12 of the present application is movable, so that the volume of the wind guiding space 122 is larger, further improving the problem of wind resistance.

[0050] For the air conditioner indoor unit 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention, by providing a first air dispersion area 121 on the movable panel 12, a second air dispersion area 21 on the air guiding plate 20, and setting the movable panel 12 to be movable to define a wind guiding space 122, the wind guiding space 122 with a larger volume is used to guide the air flow to the first air dispersion area 121. Compared with the solution in the related art where the panel member is fixed on the air conditioner main body and forms an air flow channel with the air conditioner main body, the problem of wind resistance is further improved, and the air discharge volume is increased.

[0051] As Figure 1 shown, in some embodiments, in the no-wind-sensation mode, the front end of the air guiding plate 20 cooperates with the lower end of the movable panel 12 to direct a part of the air flow to the wind guiding space 122. By the cooperation of the front end of the air guiding plate 20 and the lower end of the movable panel 12 to direct the air flow to the wind guiding space 122, making full use of the characteristic of the relatively large volume of the wind guiding space 122, more air flow flows to the wind guiding space 122, further improving the problem of wind resistance.

[0052] Specifically, as Figure 1 shown, the front end of the air guiding plate 20 and the lower end of the movable panel 12, where the direction is based on the air conditioner indoor unit 100 installed on a vertical wall as a reference standard. The air conditioner indoor unit 100 is installed on a vertical wall, the direction of the air conditioner indoor unit 100 facing the vertical wall is the rear, the direction of the air conditioner indoor unit 100 facing away from the vertical wall is the front, the direction of the air conditioner indoor unit 100 facing the ceiling is the upper, and the direction of the air conditioner indoor unit 100 facing away from the ceiling is the lower.

[0053] Among them, the cooperation between the front end of the air guiding plate 20 and the lower end of the movable panel 12 can be a lapping cooperation, or an abutting cooperation, or there is a small gap between the front end of the air guiding plate 20 and the lower end of the movable panel 12, and the small gap between the front end of the air guiding plate 20 and the lower end of the movable panel 12 also has the effect of diverging the air flow.

[0054] In some embodiments, in the no-wind-sensation mode, one of the front end of the air guiding plate 20 and the lower end of the movable panel 12 is located below the other.

[0055] For example, as Figure 1As shown, the front end of the air deflector 20 is located below the lower end of the movable panel 12, and there is a gap between the air deflector 20 and the movable panel 12, and the gap plays an effect of diverging the air flow; or, the lower end of the movable panel 12 is located below the air deflector 20, and the air deflector 20 and the movable panel 12 fully block the air outlet channel 111.

[0056] As Figures 1 to 5 shown, in some embodiments, the first air-diverging area 121 includes a plurality of first air-diverging holes 1211 arranged at intervals, and a part of the first air-diverging holes 1211 are arranged at intervals in the vertical direction. By arranging a part of the first air-diverging holes 1211 among the plurality of first air-diverging holes 1211 at intervals in the vertical direction, the air flow is discharged from positions at different heights of the air conditioner indoor unit 100, while improving the air resistance problem, the influence range of the air conditioner indoor unit 100 is expanded.

[0057] As Figures 1 to 5 shown, in some embodiments, the first air-diverging area 121 includes a plurality of first air-diverging holes 1211 arranged at intervals, and a part of the first air-diverging holes 1211 are arranged at intervals in the horizontal direction. By arranging a part of the first air-diverging holes 1211 among the plurality of first air-diverging holes 1211 at intervals in the horizontal direction, the air flow is discharged from positions at different widths of the air conditioner indoor unit 100, while improving the air resistance problem, the influence range of the air conditioner indoor unit 100 is expanded.

[0058] In some other embodiments, the first air-diverging area 121 includes a first hole structure and a first air-diverging fan arranged in the first hole structure, and the first air-diverging fan is used to diverge the air flow to form a no-wind-sensation experience.

[0059] As Figures 1 to 5 shown, in some embodiments, the second air-diverging area 21 includes a plurality of second air-diverging holes 211 arranged at intervals. By arranging the plurality of spaced second air-diverging holes 211 to diverge the air flow, the air flow is fully diverged, and the structure is simple and easy to form.

[0060] Specifically, a part of the second air-diverging holes 211 are arranged at intervals in the vertical direction. By arranging a part of the second air-diverging holes 211 among the plurality of second air-diverging holes 211 at intervals in the vertical direction, the air flow is discharged from positions at different heights of the air conditioner indoor unit 100, while improving the air resistance problem, the influence range of the air conditioner indoor unit 100 is expanded.

[0061] Specifically, a part of the second air-diverging holes 211 are arranged at intervals in the horizontal direction. By arranging a part of the second air-diverging holes 211 among the plurality of second air-diverging holes 211 at intervals in the horizontal direction, the air flow is discharged from positions at different widths of the air conditioner indoor unit 100, while improving the air resistance problem, the influence range of the air conditioner indoor unit 100 is expanded.

[0062] As Figure 2 shown, in some embodiments, the air outlet passage 111 is provided with an air outlet 1111 located in the main body portion 11. The movable panel 12 has a closed position. In the closed position, the movable panel 12 moves to block the air outlet 1111 and the air deflector 20. By providing the movable panel 12 to block the air outlet 1111 and the air deflector 20, the appearance of the air conditioner indoor unit 100 is made more beautiful, and at the same time, large foreign objects are prevented from entering the air conditioner indoor unit 100.

[0063] In some embodiments, the air conditioner indoor unit 100 has an air outlet mode. In the air outlet mode, the movable panel 12 moves to avoid the air outlet passage 111. In the air outlet mode, by providing the movable panel 12 to avoid the air outlet passage 111, the air flow discharged from the air outlet passage 111 can be directly discharged into the space where the air conditioner indoor unit 100 is located, increasing the air discharge volume of the air conditioner indoor unit 100.

[0064] It can be understood that the air outlet mode is different from the draft-free mode. In the draft-free mode, part of the air flow discharged from the air outlet passage 111 flows through the first air diffusion area 121 to achieve draft-free and improve the user's comfort. In the air outlet mode, the movable panel 12 avoids the air outlet passage 111, and the air flow discharged from the air outlet passage 111 is directly discharged into the space where the air conditioner indoor unit 100 is located, with a larger air discharge volume and can adjust the temperature more quickly. That is to say, the air conditioner indoor unit 100 has at least two different modes, and the two modes are respectively suitable for different user needs. For example, in summer, when the user enters the room from the outside, the user turns on the air conditioner indoor unit 100 to the air outlet mode, and the air conditioner indoor unit 100 discharges cold air to quickly cool the room. After the air outlet mode lasts for a period of time, it is switched to the draft-free mode to provide the user with a draft-free experience.

[0065] As Figure 1 、 Figure 2 shown, in some specific embodiments, the air outlet passage 111 is provided with an air outlet 1111 located in the main body portion 11. The main body portion 11 is provided with a first abutting portion 112 located above the air outlet 1111. In the air outlet mode, the lower part of the movable panel 12 abuts against the first abutting portion 112. By providing the lower part of the movable panel 12 to abut against the first abutting portion 112, the movable panel 12 is made to avoid the air outlet passage 111, and the air flow discharged from the air outlet passage 111 is directly discharged into the space where the air conditioner indoor unit 100 is located.

[0066] Specifically, the lower part of the movable panel 12 abuts against the first abutting portion 112, disconnecting the communication between the air guiding space 122 and the air outlet passage 111, and all the air flow discharged from the air outlet passage 111 is directly discharged into the space where the air conditioner indoor unit 100 is located.

[0067] In some embodiments, in the windless feeling mode, the movable panel 12 is spaced apart from the portions on both sides of the air outlet 1111 on the main body 11, thereby facilitating the movement of the movable panel 12 and reducing the requirement for the installation accuracy of the movable panel 12.

[0068] As Figure 3 shown, in some other embodiments, the main body 11 is provided with second abutting portions 113 located on both sides of the air outlet 1111. In the windless feeling mode, the movable panel 12 abuts against the second abutting portions 113. By arranging the movable panel 12 to abut against the second abutting portions 113, the situation of air flow discharging from the corner gaps is improved, preventing the air flow from directly blowing on the user from the corner gaps, and enabling most of the air flow to flow through the first air dispersion area 121 and the second air dispersion area 21.

[0069] As Figure 3 shown, in some specific embodiments, the second abutting portions 113 are formed as arc-shaped surfaces to guide the movable panel 12 to move to abut against the second abutting portions 113. By forming the second abutting portions 113 as arc-shaped surfaces, it is convenient for the movable panel 12 to move to abut against the second abutting portions 113, improving the reliability of the operation of the movable panel 12.

[0070] As Figure 1 、 Figure 2 shown, in some embodiments, the movable panel 12 includes a first part 123 and an arc part 124. The first part 123 extends in the up and down direction, the upper end of the arc part 124 is connected to the first part 123, and the lower end of the arc part 124 extends towards the main body 11. By providing the arc part 124 extending towards the main body 11, it is convenient for the cooperation between the movable panel 12 and the main body 11, improving the stability of the operation of the air conditioner indoor unit 100.

[0071] In some specific embodiments, the air outlet passage 111 is provided with an air outlet 1111 on the main body 11, and the main body 11 is provided with a first abutting portion 112 located above the air outlet 1111. In the air outlet mode, the arc part 124 abuts against the first abutting portion 112. By arranging the arc part 124 to abut against the first abutting portion 112, the arc part 124 extends towards the main body 11, and the arc part 124 can stably maintain the abutment with the first abutting portion 112, improving the working stability.

[0072] In some specific embodiments, the main body 11 is provided with second abutting portions 113 located on both sides of the air outlet 1111. In the windless feeling mode, the arc part 124 abuts against the second abutting portions 113. By arranging the arc part 124 to abut against the second abutting portions 113, the arc part 124 extends towards the main body 11, and the arc part 124 can stably maintain the abutment with the second abutting portions 113, improving the working stability.

[0073] As Figure 6 , Figure 7 shown, in some embodiments, the air deflector 20 has an air guiding surface 23. The air outlet mode includes a heating sub-mode and a cooling sub-mode. In the heating sub-mode, the air guiding surface 23 is adjacent to the upper wall surface of the air outlet channel 111, and the air guiding surface 23 faces the lower wall surface of the air outlet channel 111. In the cooling sub-mode, the air deflector 20 rotates until the air guiding surface 23 is adjacent to the lower wall surface of the air outlet channel 111, and the air guiding surface 23 faces the upper wall surface of the air outlet channel 111.

[0074] Among them, as Figure 7 shown, in the heating sub-mode, the air guiding surface 23 is adjacent to the upper wall surface of the air outlet channel 111, and the air guiding surface 23 faces the lower wall surface of the air outlet channel 111. The air guiding surface 23 guides the hot air discharged from the air outlet channel 111 to flow downward, improving the temperature rise speed and the uniformity of heating stratification; as Figure 6 shown, in the cooling sub-mode, the air deflector 20 rotates until the air guiding surface 23 is adjacent to the lower wall surface of the air outlet channel 111, and the air guiding surface 23 faces the upper wall surface of the air outlet channel 111. The air guiding surface 23 guides the cold air discharged from the air outlet channel 111 to flow upward, and the cold air automatically sinks from a higher height, improving the effect of the air conditioner indoor unit 100.

[0075] As Figures 1 to 5 shown, in some embodiments, the housing 10 further includes a fixed panel 13. The fixed panel 13 is provided at the front top of the main body 11. When the air conditioner indoor unit 100 is in the shutdown state, the top wall of the movable panel 12 cooperates with the bottom wall of the fixed panel 13. By providing the fixed panel 13 at the front top of the main body 11, when the air conditioner indoor unit 100 is in the shutdown state, the top wall of the movable panel 12 cooperates with the bottom wall of the fixed panel 13, making the appearance integrity of the air conditioner indoor unit 100 stronger and improving the aesthetics.

[0076] As Figure 1 , Figure 2 shown, in some embodiments, the movable panel 12 is provided with a display module 125. By setting the display module 125 on the movable panel 12, the display module 125 moves with the movable panel 12, enabling the user to always observe the display module 125.

[0077] In some specific embodiments, the first air dispersion area 121 includes a plurality of first air dispersion holes 1211. A part of the first air dispersion holes 1211 is disposed opposite to the display module 125, and another part of the first air dispersion holes 1211 is disposed around the display module 125. By setting a part of the first air dispersion holes 1211 opposite to the display module 125 and another part of the first air dispersion holes 1211 around the display module 125, the first air dispersion holes 1211 on the movable panel 12 are neat and orderly, making the appearance integrity of the movable panel 12 stronger and more beautiful.

[0078] In some specific embodiments, an installation groove is provided on the side surface of the movable panel 12 facing the main body 11. The opening of the installation groove is flush with the side surface of the main body 11 and extends in a direction away from the main body 11. The display module 125 is disposed in the installation groove. By providing the installation groove to install the display module 125, the structure of the installation groove thins the thickness of the movable panel 12, so that the display module 125 can be displayed through the movable panel 12.

[0079] As Figure 1 shown, in some embodiments, the air conditioner indoor unit 100 further includes a driving module 30. The driving module 30 is disposed in the main body 11 and is connected to the movable panel 12 to be adapted to push the movable panel 12 to move. By providing the driving module 30 to drive the movable panel 12 to move, the degree of intelligence is improved.
