[0017] Controlling the wind deflector to move along the first air duct towards the air outlet so that the second extension portion pushes the first extension portion to make the air deflector reach the first state.

[0018] Optionally, one end of the air deflector away from the air outlet extends inward to form a third extension portion, and the main body portion is further configured to move along the first air duct away from the air outlet so that the second extension portion drives the third extension portion to make the air deflector reach the second state; and

[0019] Controlling the air deflector to move to the second state includes:

[0020] Controlling the wind deflector to move along the first air duct away from the air outlet so that the second extension portion drives the third extension portion to make the air deflector reach the second state.

Based on the technical solution provided by the present invention, when the air deflector is in the first state, the air volume is dispersed and the air distance is close compared with the second state. The indoor temperature can be quickly adjusted by adjusting the air outlet distance of the air conditioner, improving the user experience.

[0035] Further, if the temperature of the indoor environment does not reach the target temperature, the air deflector is controlled to move to the second state. Compared with the first state, in the second state, the air flow in the internal air duct completely flows through the first air duct to the air outlet, the air outlet is concentrated, and the air supply distance is far, so that the room temperature can be quickly adjusted, improving the user experience.

[0050] Figure 1 is a first overall structural schematic diagram of the vertical air conditioner 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 1 in which, the air guiding member 20 is in a first state extending out of the air outlet 110 and forming an air outlet gap 220 with the air outlet side of the air outlet 110; Figure 2 is a second overall structural schematic diagram of the vertical air conditioner 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 2 in which, the air guiding member 20 is in a second state fitted with the air outlet 110; Figure 3 is Figure 1 a cross-sectional view along the A-A section; Figure 4 is Figure 2 a cross-sectional view along the B-B section.

[0051] See Figures 1 - 4 As shown, the vertical air conditioner 1 proposed by the present invention includes a housing 10, and the housing 10 includes a front housing 120 with an opening facing backward and a rear housing 130 with an opening facing forward. The openings of the front housing 120 and the rear housing 130 are assembled opposite to each other to form a complete housing.

[0052] An air outlet 110 with an opening facing forward is defined on the upper side of the front housing 120, and the air outlet 110 can be selected as a circular outlet air; a grid-shaped ventilation opening 140 communicating the inside and outside of the housing 10 is defined on the rear housing 130.

[0053] Optionally, the front housing 120 and the rear housing 130 are fixed together by a snap connection method.

[0054] The vertical air conditioner 1 further includes a wind guiding member 20. The wind guiding member 20 is arranged in the housing 10 along the axial direction of the air outlet 110. The wind guiding member 20 defines a first air duct 210 that is coaxial with the air outlet 110 and communicates with the internal air duct 100 of the housing 10. The wind guiding member 20 is configured to move along the axial direction of the air outlet 110 to reach a second state in which one end of the wind guiding member 20 close to the air outlet 110 is fitted with the air outlet 110 or a first state in which an air outlet gap 220 communicating with the internal air duct 100 is jointly defined between the wind guiding member 20 and the air outlet side of the air outlet 110.

[0055] Wherein, the air outlet side of the air outlet 110 is the side where the air outlet faces outside the housing.

[0056] Wherein, when the wind guiding member 20 is in the first state, part or all of the air flow in the internal air duct 100 flows through the air outlet gap 220 to the outside of the air conditioner, and the air outlet is dispersed and the air outlet distance is short; when the wind guiding member 20 is in the second state, the air flow in the internal air duct 100 flows through the first air duct 210 to the air outlet 110 and then to the outside of the air conditioner, and the air outlet distance is long. In the two states, the air distance of the vertical air conditioner 1 is different, and overall, the air distance of the vertical air conditioner 1 is adjustable, improving the user experience of using the air conditioner.

[0057] Figure 5 It is a schematic structural diagram of the wind guiding member 20 of the vertical air conditioner 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention; Figure 6 It is a schematic structural diagram of the wind blocking member 30 of the vertical air conditioner 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention. Refer to Figures 3 - 6 As shown, in some preferred or alternative embodiments according to the present invention, a first extension portion 211 is formed by inward extension of the inner wall of the first air duct 210 near the air outlet 110; and

[0058] The vertical air conditioner 1 further includes a wind blocking member 30 having a main body portion 310. The main body portion 310 is arranged along the axial direction of the first air duct 210. One end of the main body portion 310 close to the air outlet 110 extends outward to form a second extension portion 311. The main body portion 310 is configured to move along the first air duct 210 toward the direction close to the air outlet 110 so that the second extension portion 311 pushes the first extension portion 211 to make the wind guiding member 20 reach the first state.

[0059] In some preferred or alternative embodiments according to the present invention, a third extension portion 230 is formed by inward extension of one end of the wind guiding member 20 away from the air outlet 110; and

[0060] The main body portion 310 is further configured to move along the first air duct 210 toward the direction away from the air outlet 110 so that the second extension portion 311 drives the third extension portion 230 to make the wind guiding member 20 reach the second state.

[0061] In some preferred or alternative embodiments according to the present invention, the air guiding member 20 includes a first part 240 and a second part 250 connected along the axial direction of the air outlet 110. The first part 240 is disposed near the air outlet 110, and the first part 240 and the second part 250 jointly define a first air duct 210; wherein

[0062] The first part 240 is in a horn shape, and the large-diameter end of the first part 240 is the end of the air guiding member 20 close to the air outlet 110; the overall shape of the second part 250 is columnar, and a plurality of air inlet gaps 260 communicating the internal air duct 100 and the first air duct 210 are formed at intervals along the axial direction of the first air duct 210.

[0063] In some preferred or alternative embodiments according to the present invention, the second part 250 includes a plurality of first sub-parts 251 and a plurality of second sub-parts 252; wherein, the first sub-parts 251 are in a horn shape opposite to the first part 240, and the plurality of first sub-parts 251 are arranged at intervals in the axial direction of the first air duct 210. An air inlet gap 260 is formed between any two adjacent first sub-parts 251 and between the adjacent first sub-part 251 and the first part 240; the second sub-parts 252 are plate-shaped fixing ribs, and the plurality of second sub-parts 252 are uniformly distributed along the outer periphery of the plurality of first sub-parts 251 to connect the plurality of first sub-parts 251 together.

[0064] In some preferred or alternative embodiments according to the present invention, the number of the first sub-parts 251 may be three, and the number of the second sub-parts 252 may be three. The three first sub-parts 251 form two air outlet gaps 220, and the first sub-part 251 close to the first part 240 and the first part 240 form an air inlet gap 220, for a total of three air inlet gaps.

[0065] It should be noted that the numbers of the first sub-parts 251 and the second sub-parts 252 can be set according to actual situations, and the present invention does not make excessive limitations thereon.

[0066] In some preferred or alternative embodiments according to the present invention, the inner wall of the first part 240 extends inward in the circumferential direction to form the above-mentioned first extension part 211; one end of the second part 250 far from the air outlet 110 extends inward to form a third extension part 230; one end of the main body part 310 close to the air outlet 110 extends outward to form a second extension part 311. The main body part 310 is configured to move along the first air duct 210 towards the air outlet 110 so that the second extension part 311 pushes the first extension part 211 to make the air guiding member 20 reach the first state or move away from the air outlet 110 so that the second extension part 311 pushes the third extension part 230 to make the air guiding member 20 reach the second state.

[0067] In some preferred or alternative embodiments according to the present invention, the first air duct 210 and the main body portion 310 are adapted in shape, and the main body portion 310 is further configured to move in the axial direction of the first air duct 210 when the air guiding member 20 is in the first state or the second state, and change the air intake amount of the air intake gap 260 of the second portion 250 by changing the corresponding area with the second portion 250.

[0068] Wherein, the first air duct 210 and the main body portion 310 are preferably both columnar. When the air guiding member 20 is in the first state or the second state, the greater the distance the main body portion 310 moves toward the air outlet 110, the greater the corresponding area between the main body portion 310 and the first air duct 210, the more the main body portion 310 blocks the air intake gap 260, and the less air enters the air intake gap 260. Correspondingly, the more the main body portion 310 moves away from the air outlet 110, the smaller the corresponding area between the main body portion 310 and the first air duct 210, the less the main body portion 310 blocks the air intake gap 260, and the more air enters the air intake gap 260.

[0069] Wherein, by adjusting the corresponding area between the main body portion 310 and the second portion 250, the air intake amount of the air intake gap 260 can be adjusted, realizing that the wind distance of the vertical air conditioner 1 is adjustable and the air volume is also adjustable, further improving the user experience.

[0070] In some preferred or alternative embodiments according to the present invention, a fourth extension portion 312 is formed by circumferentially extending the peripheral wall of the main body portion 310 near the end of the main body portion 310 away from the air outlet 110; and

[0071] The vertical air conditioner 1 further includes a stop wall 40. The stop wall 40 is arranged between the end of the wind blocking member 30 away from the air outlet 110 and the end of the air guiding member 20 away from the air outlet 110. The stop wall 40 is configured to abut against the fourth extension portion 312 to prevent the main body portion 310 from continuing to move toward the air outlet 110 when the air guiding member 20 is in the first state, or abut against the third extension portion 230 to prevent the air guiding member 20 from continuing to move away from the air outlet 110 when the air guiding member 20 is in the second state.

[0072] Wherein, the arrangement of the stop wall 40 can prevent the excessive movement displacement of the air guiding member 20 and ensure that the air guiding member 20 accurately reaches the first state or the second state.

[0073] In some preferred or alternative embodiments according to the present invention, the wind blocking member 30 further includes a rack portion 320, and the rack portion 320 is fixedly arranged along the axial direction of the main body portion 310 at the bottom of the main body portion 310; and

[0074] The vertical air conditioner 1 further includes a drive motor 50 and a gear 60 connected to the motor shaft of the drive motor 50. The drive motor 50 and the gear 60 are located on the side of the stop wall 40 away from the air outlet 110. The gear 60 meshes with the rack, and the drive motor 50 is configured to drive the rotation of the motor shaft of the drive motor 50 so that the gear 60 drives the wind deflector 30 to move along the axial direction of the first air duct 210.

[0075] Wherein, the gear 60 rotates along the axial direction of the first air duct 210 so that the wind deflector 30 moves along the axial direction of the first air duct 210.

[0076] In some preferred or alternative embodiments according to the present invention, the interior of the body portion 310 is hollow, and the weight of the body portion 310 is small, thereby ensuring the stable cooperation between the rack portion 320 and the gear 60.

Refer to Figure 8 As shown, based on the same inventive concept, the present invention also proposes a control method for a vertical air conditioner 1, which at least includes the following steps S802 and S804.

[0091] Step S802: Obtain the temperature of the indoor environment where the vertical air conditioner 1 is located;

[0092] Step S804: Compare the temperature with the target temperature, and control the air guiding member 20 to move to the first state or the second state according to the comparison result.

[0093] In the embodiment of the present invention, first, the temperature of the indoor environment where the vertical air conditioner 1 is located is obtained, and then the temperature is compared with the target temperature. According to the comparison result, the air guiding member 20 is controlled to move along the axial direction of the air outlet 110 so that the first state where the end of the air guiding member 20 close to the air outlet 110 and the air outlet side of the air outlet 110 jointly enclose an air outlet gap 220 communicating with the internal air duct 100 or the second state where the air guiding member 20 is fitted into the air outlet 110 is achieved. Based on the technical solution provided by the present invention, the indoor temperature can be quickly adjusted by adjusting the air distance of the air conditioner, improving the user experience.

[0094] In some preferred or alternative embodiments according to the present invention, controlling the air guiding member 20 to move to the first state or the second state according to the comparison result includes:

[0095] If the temperature reaches the target temperature, control the air guiding member 20 to move to the first state;

[0096] If the temperature does not reach the target temperature, control the air guiding member 20 to move to the second state.

[0097] Among them, if the temperature reaches the target temperature, the air guiding member 20 is controlled to move to the first state. In this state, part or all of the air flow in the internal air duct 100 flows out to the outside of the air conditioner through the air outlet gap 220. The air outlet is dispersed, the air supply distance is short, and the indoor environmental temperature changes little, which can effectively keep the indoor environmental temperature around the target temperature. If the temperature does not reach the target temperature, the air guiding member 20 is controlled to move to the second state. In this state, the air flow in the internal air duct 100 completely flows through the first air duct 210 to the air outlet 110. The air outlet is concentrated and the air supply distance is long, which can quickly adjust the room temperature and improve the user experience.

[0098] In some preferred or alternative embodiments according to the present invention, controlling the air guiding member 20 to move to the first state includes: controlling the wind blocking member 30 to move along the first air duct 210 towards the air outlet 110 so that the second extension portion 311 pushes the first extension portion 211 to make the air guiding member 20 reach the first state.

[0099] In some preferred or alternative embodiments according to the present invention, controlling the air guiding member 20 to move to the second state includes: controlling the wind blocking member 30 to move along the first air duct 210 away from the air outlet 110 so that the second extension portion 311 drives the third extension portion 230 to make the air guiding member 20 reach the second state.

[0100] In some preferred or alternative embodiments according to the present invention, after controlling the air guiding member 20 to move to the first state, the method further includes: controlling the main body portion 310 to move until the second extension portion 311 abuts against the first extension portion 211, so that the wind blocking member 30 blocks all the air inlet gaps 260, and the air flow in the internal air duct 100 only flows out to the outside of the air conditioner through the air outlet gap 220.

[0101] Among them, when the air guiding member 20 is in the first state, the main body portion 310 is controlled to move until the second extension portion 311 abuts against the first extension portion 211. At this time, the wind blocking member 30 blocks all the air inlet gaps 260, and the air flow in the internal air duct 100 only flows out to the outside of the air conditioner through the air outlet gap 220. The air output of the air conditioner is the smallest, which can further effectively keep the indoor environmental temperature around the target temperature.

[0102] In some preferred or alternative embodiments according to the present invention, after controlling the air guiding member 20 to move to the second state, the method further includes: controlling the main body portion 310 to move until the second extension portion 311 abuts against the third extension portion 230, so that the wind blocking member 30 completely does not block the air inlet gap 260, and the air flow in the internal air duct 100 flows through all the air outlet gaps 220 to the first air duct 210, and then to the air outlet 110 and then out to the outside of the air conditioner.

[0103] Among them, when the air guide member 20 is in the second state, it controls the main body portion 310 to move until the second extension portion 311 abuts against the third extension portion 230. At this time, the wind shield member 30 completely does not block the air inlet gap 260, so that the air flow in the internal air duct 100 flows through all the air outlet gaps 220 to the first air duct 210, then flows to the air outlet 110 and then flows out to the outside of the air conditioner. The air volume is large, and the indoor environmental temperature can be adjusted as soon as possible.

[0104] In some preferred or alternative embodiments according to the present invention, after it is determined that the temperature reaches the target temperature, the method further includes: controlling the fan of the air conditioner to operate at a first preset speed.

[0105] In some preferred or alternative embodiments according to the present invention, after it is determined that the temperature does not reach the target temperature, the method further includes: controlling the fan of the air conditioner to operate at a second preset speed, and the second preset speed is greater than the first preset speed.

[0106] Among them, the second preset speed is greater than the first preset speed, so that the room temperature can be adjusted in time.

[0107] In some preferred or alternative embodiments according to the present invention, a temperature detection device is provided on the housing 10; and obtaining the temperature of the indoor environment where the floor-standing air conditioner 1 is located includes: obtaining the temperature detected by the temperature detection device and using it as the temperature of the indoor environment where the floor-standing air conditioner 1 is located.

[0108] Among them, the temperature detection device includes but is not limited to a temperature sensor and an infrared thermometer.

[0109] Figure 9 It is a schematic structural block diagram of the control device 2 of the floor-standing air conditioner 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention. Refer to Figure 9 As shown, based on the same inventive concept, the present invention also proposes a control device for a floor-standing air conditioner 1, which includes a memory 500 and a processor 400.

[0110] Among them, the control device 2 can be data-connected to the floor-standing air conditioner 1, and it can be arranged at network-side devices such as servers and the cloud. The control device 2 can also be a centralized control device, arranged in the environment where the floor-standing air conditioner 1 is located or the surrounding environment. The data connection method between the control device 2 and the floor-standing air conditioner 1 includes but is not limited to wireless transmission, infrared transmission, ultrasonic transmission, etc. The control device 2 can also be a part of the floor-standing air conditioner 1 and is arranged inside the floor-standing air conditioner 1.

[0111] The present invention provides a control method and device for a vertical air conditioner 1. In the method provided by the present invention, first, the temperature of the indoor environment where the vertical air conditioner 1 is located is obtained, and then the temperature is compared with the target temperature. According to the comparison result, the air deflector 20 is controlled to move along the axial direction of the air outlet 110 to reach a first state in which the end of the air deflector 20 close to the air outlet 110 and the air outlet side of the air outlet 110 jointly enclose an air outlet gap 220 communicating with the internal air duct 100, or a second state in which the air deflector is fitted with the air outlet 110. Based on the technical solution provided by the present invention, when the air deflector is in the first state, the air volume is dispersed and the air distance is short compared with the second state. The indoor temperature can be quickly adjusted by adjusting the air outlet distance of the air conditioner, improving the user experience.

[0112] Further, if the temperature of the indoor environment does not reach the target temperature, the air deflector 20 is controlled to move to the second state. In the second state, compared with the first state, the air flow in the internal air duct 100 completely flows through the first air duct 210 to the air outlet 110, the air outlet is concentrated, and the air supply distance is long, so that the room temperature can be quickly adjusted, improving the user experience.
