Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of air conditioning, and particularly to an air conditioning device. Background Art

[0002] Air conditioning devices such as air conditioners and air purifiers can achieve the effect of disinfecting and purifying the air by setting up a purification module. The ion generation module is a commonly used purification device that releases ions into the room to purify the air. Negative ions are generally regarded as air vitamins and are crucial for human health. By setting the ion generation module at the air outlet of the air conditioning device, the negative ions released by the ion generation module are blown out by the air conditioner wind to purify the indoor air and facilitate healthy breathing for humans.

[0003] The movement of ions in the air is mainly affected by two factors: wind force and electric field force. The wind force and the electric field force act on the ions simultaneously. When the directions of the two forces are the same, the resultant force is the largest, and the ions move farther. Through experimental tests, it is verified that the propagation distance of ions is greatly affected by the wind speed. The faster the wind speed, the farther the propagation distance, and its propagation direction is also greatly affected by the wind field. The driving effect of the wind field can effectively change the propagation direction of ions.

[0004] The ion lifespan is short, and it is extremely easy to decay after colliding with various components in the air. The ion concentration is relatively high near the air outlet. As the ions are transported away by the air flow, the ion concentration rapidly decreases, and it is difficult for the ions to be transported to the area where people are active indoors, thereby reducing the positive impact of ions on the human body.

[0005] In addition, the direct blowing of the air conditioner wind onto the human body will significantly reduce comfort, and the movement direction of ions is easily affected by the air conditioner wind. If the air conditioner operates in the "wind avoiding people" mode, it is even more difficult for the ions to be transported around the human body, resulting in a conflict between comfort and health that is difficult to reconcile.

[0006] The above information disclosed in this background art is only used to increase the understanding of the background art of this application. Therefore, it may include prior art that is not known to those of ordinary skill in the art. Summary of the Invention

[0007] In view of the problems pointed out in the background art, the present invention proposes an air conditioning device that realizes independent control of the air conditioner wind and the ion wind.

[0009] The ion generation module moves synchronously with the air guiding component. Since the movements of the air guiding components are independent of each other, the ions released by the ion generation modules provided on different air guiding components can be blown to different areas in the room, meeting the different air supply and sterilization needs of users.

[0010] In some embodiments of the present application, an air conditioning device is provided, including: A body, on which an air outlet is provided; A first air guiding component, which is provided at the air outlet, and the air outlet area covered by the first air guiding component is the first air outlet area, and the first air guiding component is configured to adjust the direction of the gas flowing out of the first air outlet area; A second air guiding component, which is provided at the air outlet, and the air outlet area covered by the second air guiding component is the second air outlet area, and the second air guiding component is configured to adjust the direction of the gas flowing out of the second air outlet area; An ion generation module, which is provided on the first air guiding component and / or the second air guiding component, and the ion generation module is configured to release ions into the air.

[0019] The following disclosure provides many different embodiments or examples for implementing different structures of the present invention. To simplify the disclosure of the present invention, the components and settings of specific examples are described below. Of course, they are merely examples and are not intended to limit the present invention. In addition, the present invention may repeat reference numerals and / or reference letters in different examples. Such repetition is for the purpose of simplification and clarity, and does not itself indicate the relationship between the various embodiments and / or settings discussed. In addition, the present invention provides examples of various specific processes and materials, but those of ordinary skill in the art can be aware of the application of other processes and / or the use of other materials.

[0020] This embodiment discloses an air conditioning device, such as an air conditioner, an air purifier, etc. The air conditioning device has an air purification function. Specifically, the air purification is achieved through an ion generation module.

[0021] Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 15The air conditioning unit includes a housing 100, with an air outlet 110 on the front and a return air outlet 190 on the rear. The interior of the housing 100 houses components such as a fan 150, a heat exchanger 170, and an electronic control system. Under the influence of the fan 150, indoor air enters the interior through the return air outlet 190, flows through the heat exchanger 170, and, after heat exchange, flows out through the air outlet 110.

[0022] An air conditioner performs its refrigeration cycle by using a compressor, condenser, expansion valve, and evaporator. The refrigeration cycle involves a series of processes involving compression, condensation, expansion, and evaporation to cool or heat the indoor space.

[0023] Low-temperature, low-pressure refrigerant enters the compressor, which compresses it into high-temperature, high-pressure refrigerant gas and discharges the compressed refrigerant gas. The discharged refrigerant gas flows into the condenser. The condenser condenses the compressed refrigerant into a liquid phase, releasing heat into the surrounding environment through the condensation process.

[0024] The expansion valve expands the high-temperature, high-pressure liquid refrigerant condensed in the condenser to a lower-pressure liquid. The evaporator evaporates the refrigerant expanded in the expansion valve and returns the low-temperature, low-pressure refrigerant gas to the compressor. The evaporator achieves cooling by utilizing the latent heat of evaporation to exchange heat with the material being cooled. Throughout this cycle, the air conditioner regulates the temperature of the indoor space.

[0025] The air outlet 110 is surrounded by a frame 500 . The frame 500 is a plastic component and is fixed to the front of the body 100 .

[0026] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 A guide plate is provided at the air outlet 110, and the guide plate is rotatably connected to the frame 500. The guide plate is configured to adjust the direction of gas flowing out of the air outlet 110 to meet different air supply requirements of users.

[0027] The movement of the guide plate can be driven by a driving component. The driving component receives system instructions and swings to a corresponding angle to achieve automatic control.

[0028] The movement of the deflector can be driven manually. The user can simply move the deflector to the desired position for air outlet.

[0029] The movement of the guide plate can be left and right swing relative to the air outlet 110, or up and down swing relative to the air outlet 110, or the guide plate can be provided with a double-layer structure to simultaneously meet left and right swing and up and down swing, thereby improving the air outlet direction adjustment effect.

[0030] The air conditioning equipment realizes the sterilization, disinfection and purification of indoor air through the ion generation module 200. The ion generation module 200 releases positive ions or negative ions into the air, and sterilizes and disinfects the air through the ions to achieve the air purification effect.

[0031] In the prior art, the ion generation module 200 is fixedly arranged on the frame body 500, and the flow guide plate will hinder the diffusion of ions into the indoor space, affecting the air purification effect of the ions.

[0032] In this embodiment, the installation position of the ion generation module 200 is changed to solve the above technical problem. Specifically, the ion generation module 200 is arranged on the flow guide plate, and the ion generation module 200 moves synchronously with the flow guide plate. The ions released by the ion generation module 200 change the flow direction along with the movement of the flow guide plate.

[0033] That is to say, the position of the ion generation module 200 relative to the air outlet 110 is not fixed, but moves synchronously with the movement of the flow guide plate. In this way, when the flow guide plate moves to adjust the direction of the air outlet airflow, the direction of the ions released by the ion generation module 200 also changes continuously, and the ions can be blown to a farther place along with the air outlet airflow, so as to achieve the effect of increasing the ion diffusion range, and further improve the air purification effect.

[0034] In this embodiment, by changing the installation position of the ion generation module 200, the effect of improving air purification can be achieved, without making too many changes to the ion generation module 200 itself or the structure at the air outlet 110, which is easy to be actually applied.

[0035] In some embodiments, the ion generation module 200 includes an emission electrode 230, and the emission electrode 230 is used to release ions into the air, and the emission tip 231 of the emission electrode 230 faces the air outlet side of the air outlet 110.

[0036] When the ion generation module 200 works, the emission tip 231 of the emission electrode 230 releases ions. Since the emission tip 231 faces the air outlet side of the air outlet 110, the ions can be blown to a farther range along the wind direction, improving the air purification effect.

[0037] When the flow guide plate does not work and swings, since the ion generation module 200 is arranged on the flow guide plate, and the emission tip 231 of the emission electrode 230 faces the air outlet side of the air outlet 110, the flow guide plate will not hinder the ion diffusion, and the ions released by the emission tip 231 can directly diffuse from the air outlet 110 into the indoor space.

[0038] When the flow guide plate works and swings, along with the swing of the flow guide plate, the direction of the ions released by the ion generation module 200 also changes continuously, and the ion diffusion range is greatly increased.

[0039] In some embodiments, the deflector includes a vertical deflector 300, which is arranged in sequence along the width direction of the air outlet 110. The vertical deflector 300 swings left and right to adjust the left and right air outlet directions of the gas.

[0040] The deflector includes a horizontal deflector 400, which is arranged in sequence along the height direction of the air outlet 110. The horizontal deflector 400 swings up and down along the height direction of the air outlet 110 to adjust the up and down air outlet directions of the gas.

[0041] A plurality of vertical deflectors 300 and a plurality of horizontal deflectors 400 constitute a wind guiding assembly 20. By simultaneously arranging the vertical deflector 300 and the horizontal deflector 400 at the air outlet 110, the air outlet diversion range and effect are improved. The left and right swing of the vertical deflector 300 and the up and down swing of the horizontal deflector 400 are independent of each other.

[0042] In some embodiments, the movements of the vertical deflectors 300 can be independent of each other or can be linked; similarly, the movements of the horizontal deflectors 400 can be independent of each other or can be linked.

[0043] In some embodiments, the ion generation module 200 is arranged on the vertical deflector. The vertical deflector 300 swings left and right to adjust the left and right air outlet directions of the air flow. At the same time, the ions released by the ion generation module 200 are quickly diffused into the indoor air along with the air flow, and the diffusion area is greatly increased. Because the ion purification principle is active purification, a larger diffusion area can increase the probability of ions capturing harmful substances in the air, thereby improving the purification effect.

[0044] In some embodiments, the ion generation module 200 is arranged on the horizontal deflector 400. The horizontal deflector 400 swings left and right to adjust the left and right air outlet directions of the air flow. At the same time, the ions released by the ion generation module 200 are quickly diffused into the indoor air along with the air flow, and the diffusion area is greatly increased. Because the ion purification principle is active purification, a larger diffusion area can increase the probability of ions capturing harmful substances in the air, thereby improving the purification effect.

[0045] In some embodiments, the ion generation module 200 is arranged on the vertical deflector 300, and the ion generation module 200 is located between two adjacent horizontal deflectors 400. On the one hand, it avoids the horizontal deflector 400 from hindering the diffusion of ions; on the other hand, the two adjacent horizontal deflectors 400 play the role of an accelerating flow channel for the air flow between them, which is more conducive to increasing the diffusion area and distance of ions, thereby improving the air purification effect.

[0046] In some embodiments, the front edge of the vertical deflector 300 faces the air outlet side of the air outlet 110, and the emission tip 231 of the emission electrode 230 extends beyond the front edge of the vertical deflector 300. In this way, the ions released by the emission tip 231 can directly diffuse into the room, avoiding the interference of the vertical deflector 300 with the diffusion path of the ions.

[0047] When the ion generation module 200 is disposed on the deflector, when the ion generation module 200 moves with the deflector, the high-voltage wire between the emission electrode 230 and the high-voltage power supply also needs to move with the deflector, resulting in the exposure of the high-voltage wire or fatigue damage after long-term operation, reducing the reliability of the ion generation module and making it difficult to install and maintain.

[0048] To solve the above technical problems, in some embodiments, the deflector is rotatably connected to the housing 500, and a conductive structure 30 is provided at the position where the deflector is rotatably connected to the housing 500. The conductive structure 30 is configured to conduct the power supply line between the emission electrode 230 and the power supply module.

[0049] The conductive structure 30 is disposed at the position where the deflector is rotatably connected to the housing 500. The connection line between the emission electrode 230 and the conductive structure 30 (denoted as the first connection line) is routed in a hidden manner along the deflector, and the connection line between the conductive structure 30 and the power supply module (denoted as the second connection line) is routed in a hidden manner along the housing 500. In this way, the connection line between the emission electrode 230 and the power supply module is segmented. During the rotation of the deflector, the exposure or fatigue damage of the connection line between the emission electrode 230 and the power supply module is avoided, and the reliability of the ion generation module 200 is improved.

[0050] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 9 to 12 , the opposite ends of the deflector are rotatably connected to the opposite sides of the housing 500 one by one, that is, one end of the deflector is rotatably connected to one side of the housing 500, and the other end of the deflector is rotatably connected to the other side of the housing 500.

[0051] The housing 500 is provided with mounting portions, and the opposite ends of the deflector are rotatably connected to the corresponding mounting portions on the corresponding sides.

[0052] Referring to Figure 8 , the conductive structure 30 includes a first conductive module 600. The first conductive module 600 is disposed at one end of the deflector, and the first conductive module 600 is connected to the emission electrode 230 of the ion generation module 200.

[0053] Referring to Figures 9 to 11 , the conductive structure 30 further includes a second conductive module 700. The second conductive module 700 is disposed on the corresponding mounting portion, and the second conductive module 700 is connected to the power supply module.

[0054] The first conductive module 600 contacts the second conductive module 700 to conduct the power supply line of the emission electrode 230. The power supply module supplies power to the emission electrode 230 via the second connection line, the conductive structure 30, and the second connection line.

[0055] The conductive structure 30 is a fast conductive connection structure that does not require direct wire connection, enabling the emission electrode 230 to be connected to the high-voltage power supply without direct wire connection. Instead, the high-voltage electricity is transmitted through reliable conductive contacts, solving the problem of dragging of the high-voltage wire bundle 220 during the swinging process of the deflector plate and facilitating the installation and maintenance of the air outlet 110. If any deflector plate is damaged, it can be directly removed and replaced without the need to disassemble and assemble the wires, improving the operation reliability.

[0056] By applying the conductive structure 30, the deflector plate is separated from the frame body 500, making production, installation, and later maintenance more convenient.

[0057] In some embodiments, the ion generation module 200 is provided on the vertical deflector plate 300. The conductive structure 30 is provided at the rotational connection position between the vertical deflector plate 300 and the frame body 500.

[0058] Refer to Figure 9 and Figure 10 , the top of the frame body 500 is provided with an upper mounting portion 520, and the bottom of the frame body 500 is provided with a lower mounting portion 530. The top end of the vertical deflector plate 300 is rotationally connected to the upper mounting portion 520, and the bottom end is rotationally connected to the lower mounting portion 530.

[0059] Refer to Figure 12 , the first conductive module 600 is provided at the bottom end of the vertical deflector plate 300, and the second conductive module 700 is provided on the lower mounting portion 530.

[0060] The conductive structure 30 is located at the bottom of the vertical deflector plate 300. Under the action of gravity, the first conductive module 600 and the second conductive module 700 are reliably contacted, improving the conductive reliability.

[0061] In some embodiments, in both the static and moving states of the deflector plate, the first conductive module 600 and the second conductive module 700 always maintain a contact state, and the movement of the deflector plate does not affect the operation of the ion generation module 200.

[0062] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 12 and Figure 13 , the bottom end of the vertical deflector plate 300 is provided with a first installation groove 360.

[0063] The first conductive module 600 includes a conductive main body portion 610, and the conductive main body portion 610 is provided in the first installation groove 360.

[0064] The first conductive module 600 includes a conductive extension 620. One end of the conductive extension 620 is connected to the conductive main body 610, and the other end extends out of the first installation groove 360 to be connected to the emission electrode 230 through the high-voltage wire 220.

[0065] The lower installation part 530 is a convex structure. The lower installation part 530 is inserted into the first installation groove 360, so that the second conductive module 700 contacts the first conductive module 600.

[0066] With the insertion structure between the first installation groove 360 and the lower installation part 530, the conductive main body 610 is placed inside the first installation groove 360, the second conductive module 700 is arranged on the lower installation part 530. After the bottom end of the vertical current guide plate 300 is rotatably connected to the lower installation part 530, the conductive connection between the conductive main body 610 and the second conductive module 700 can be realized, and then power is transmitted to the emission electrode 230 through the conductive extension 620.

[0067] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 4 、 Figure 7 and Figure 8 , a wire groove 340 is provided on the vertical current guide plate 300, and the conductive extension 620 extends into the wire groove 340.

[0068] The emission electrode 230 is connected to the high-voltage wire 220. The high-voltage wire 220 is routed along the wire groove 340, and the high-voltage wire 220 is connected to the conductive extension 620 in the wire groove 340.

[0069] The conductive extension 620 is a welding pin. The high-voltage wire 220 is routed along the wire groove 340, realizing the hidden routing of the high-voltage wire 220 along the vertical current guide plate 300, and the high-voltage wire 220 is fixedly welded to the welding pin.

[0070] The wire groove 340 is a groove structure with one side open. The wire groove 340 extends along the height direction of the vertical current guide plate 300. A limiting part 350 is provided on the wire groove 340. The limiting part 350 plays a role in limiting the high-voltage wire 220 in the wire groove 340 to prevent the high-voltage wire 220 from detaching from the wire groove 340.

[0071] After the high-voltage wire 220 is routed in the wire groove 340 and connected to the conductive extension 620, epoxy resin glue 40 is poured into the wire groove 340 to perform potting insulation treatment on the high-voltage wire 220 and the conductive extension 620 in the wire groove 340.

[0072] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 12 and Figure 13, the conductive main body portion 610 includes a circumferential wall 611 and a top wall 612. The circumferential wall 611 and the top wall 612 enclose a second installation groove 613 that is open on one side. The top wall 612 is a conductive wall. The conductive extension portion 620 is connected to the top wall 612. The conductive main body portion 610 is disposed in the first installation groove 360.

[0073] The second conductive module 700 includes a conductive column 710. The conductive column 710 is disposed in the lower installation portion 530. The top end of the conductive column 710 exposes from the top of the lower installation portion 530, and the other end is connected to the power supply module.

[0074] An installation through hole that penetrates up and down is provided in the lower installation portion 530. The main body portion of the conductive column 710 is inserted into the installation through hole. The top of the conductive column 710 is a "mushroom head" structure, that is, the diameter of the top portion of the conductive column 710 is greater than the main body portion of the conductive column 710. The conductive column 710 is inserted into the installation through hole of the lower installation portion 530 from top to bottom, and the top portion of the conductive column 710 abuts against the top of the lower installation portion 530.

[0075] The lower installation portion 530 is inserted into the second installation groove 613. The top end of the conductive column 710 contacts the top wall 612 of the conductive main body portion 610 to achieve circuit conduction.

[0076] After the vertical flow guide plate 300 is rotatably installed on the frame body 500, under the action of gravity, the top wall 612 of the conductive main body portion 610 presses against the top of the conductive column 710 to achieve contact conduction of the contacts.

[0077] Since the ion generation module 200 is powered by high voltage, the voltage range is -3 Kv to -8 Kv, but the power is extremely small, generally <1 W. Therefore, the current is extremely small, at the mA level. Therefore, the contact connection structure does not have the situation of overheating caused by excessive current.

[0078] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 9 , a third installation groove 540 is provided at the bottom of the frame body 500. The third installation groove 540 extends along the width direction of the air outlet 110. A PCB board 800 is disposed in the third installation groove 540. The PCB board 800 is connected to the power supply module. One end of the conductive column 710 is connected to the PCB board 800.

[0079] Referring to Figure 14 , a limiting notch 860 is provided on the PCB board 800, and a positioning boss 560 is provided on the side wall of the third installation groove 540. Through the cooperation between the limiting notch 860 and the positioning boss 560, the wrong installation of the PCB board 800 is prevented, playing an anti-fooling role.

[0080] Referring to Figure 10 and Figure 11, the PCB board 800 is composed of an epoxy resin board 810, a copper foil 820, and a three-proof paint 830. The copper foil 820 is used for the conductive connection between different conductive posts 710. The conductive posts 710 are soldered to the PCB board 800 to form solder joints 840.

[0081] The high-voltage wire 220 is soldered to the PCB board 800. An outlet hole 550 is provided at one end of the third installation groove 540. The high-voltage wire 220 passes through the outlet hole 550 and is connected to the power supply module. The PCB board 800 is insulated and potted with epoxy resin glue 40.

[0082] When assembling the frame body 500, the conductive posts 710 are inserted into the installation through holes of the corresponding lower installation parts 530 from top to bottom. The PCB board 800 is placed into the third installation groove 540. The lower ends of the conductive posts 710 will be inserted into the installation holes 850 of the PCB board 800. The high-voltage wire 220 is soldered to the PCB board 800. The high-voltage wire 220 passes through the outlet hole 550 and is connected to the power supply module. The PCB board 800 is insulated and potted with epoxy resin glue 40. Thus, the assembly of the frame body 500 is completed.

[0083] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 6 , the ion generation module 200 includes a housing 210. The housing 210 is connected to the flow guide plate. A wire passing hole 250 is provided on the housing 210. A receiving cavity is formed between the housing 210 and the flow guide plate. One end of the receiving cavity is open. The high-voltage wire 220 is introduced into the receiving cavity through the wire passing hole 250. One end of the emitting electrode 230 extends into the receiving cavity and the other end extends out of the receiving cavity through the open end. The receiving cavity is filled with conductive carbon paste 240 to connect the high-voltage wire 220 and the emitting electrode 230. The open end of the receiving cavity is potted with epoxy resin glue 40.

[0084] Taking the ion generation module 200 installed on the vertical flow guide plate 300 as an example, the housing 210 and the vertical flow guide plate 300 are integrally formed, which is convenient for processing. The high-voltage wire 220 and the emitting electrode 230 do not directly contact. The conductive carbon paste 240 is used to fix the high-voltage wire 220 and the emitting electrode 230 in the receiving cavity and realize the electrical connection between the two. After the conductive carbon paste 240 is cured, the housing 210 is insulated and potted with epoxy resin glue 40 to improve the structural reliability.

[0085] The ion generation module 200 and the vertical flow guide plate 300 are of an integral structure, and the two are installed as a whole at the air outlet 110, which is convenient for assembly.

[0086] When the vertical deflector 300 is assembled, the emission electrode 230 is inserted into the accommodation cavity formed by the housing 210 and the vertical deflector 300. The high-voltage wire 220 connected to the emission electrode 230 is led out from the wire passing hole 250 into the wire groove 340, and the high-voltage wire 220 runs along the wire groove 340. The conductive main body 610 is installed into the first installation groove 360, and the conductive extension 620 extends into the wire groove 340. The high-voltage wire 220 is welded to the conductive extension 620. The wire groove 340 is subjected to insulation potting treatment. Thus, the assembly of the vertical deflector 300 and the ion generation module 200 is completed.

[0087] In some embodiments, the outer contour of the housing 210 is in a conical structure, which extends along the air outlet direction of the air outlet 110. The bottom of the conical structure faces the air inlet side of the deflector, the wire passing hole 250 is provided at the bottom of the conical structure, and the open end is located at the top of the conical structure.

[0088] The conical structure of the housing 210 helps to reduce the wind resistance and reduce the influence of the ion generation module 200 on the air outlet efficiency of the whole machine.

[0089] The wire passing hole 250 is provided at the bottom of the conical structure and is close to the vertical deflector 300. When the high-voltage wire 220 passes through the wire passing hole 250, the high-voltage wire 220 can be attached to the vertical deflector 300, improving the wire routing reliability and avoiding the external high-voltage wire 220 from swaying randomly under the action of the air flow.

[0090] The emission electrode 230 is exposed from the open end, and there is a certain distance between the emission electrode 230 and the vertical deflector 300, which is convenient for the emission tip 231 of the emission electrode 230 to release ions outward and avoids the vertical deflector 300 from affecting the escape and diffusion of ions.

[0091] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , an installation frame 510 is provided on the outer wall of one end of the frame body 500. The first motor 141 and the second motor 142 are installed on the installation frame 510. The first motor 141 is used to drive the movement of the vertical deflector 300, and the second motor 142 is used to drive the movement of the horizontal deflector 400.

[0092] The first motor 141 drives the left and right swing of the vertical deflector 300 through a linkage mechanism. Each vertical deflector 300 moves synchronously. Referring to Figure 5 , each vertical deflector 300 is connected to the same connecting rod 160. The first motor 141 drives the connecting rod 160 to move, thereby driving the vertical deflector 300 to move.

[0093] The connecting rod 160 is provided with a clamping groove 161. Correspondingly, the vertical deflector 300 is provided with a connecting column 330. The connecting column 330 is press-fitted into the clamping groove 161. When the connecting rod 160 moves left and right, the synchronous left and right movement of the vertical deflector 300 is realized.

[0094] A plurality of second motors 142 are provided. The plurality of second motors 142 correspond to the plurality of transverse deflectors 400 one by one. That is, each transverse deflector 400 is driven by one second motor 142.

[0095] The driving components (the first motor 141 and the second motor 142) of the deflector are centrally arranged on the mounting bracket 510, with a compact structure, which is convenient for disassembly, assembly and maintenance.

[0096] In some embodiments, a panel 120 is arranged on the outer side of the frame body 500, and the panel 120 shields the mounting bracket 510 and the driving components.

[0097] The panel 120 is further provided with a display board 130, and the electrical box 180 is arranged beside the mounting bracket 510. The mounting bracket 510 and the electrical box 180 are arranged left and right, which is convenient for the connection of the first motor 141 and the second motor 142 to the control system and convenient for wiring installation.

[0098] An indoor air detection component, such as a PM2.5 sensor, is installed in the electrical box 180, and the display board 130 synchronously displays the indoor air quality detected by the air detection component.

[0099] In some embodiments, the transverse deflector 400 is located outside the vertical deflector 300. When the transverse deflector 400 rotates to the vertical state, two adjacent transverse deflectors 400 are adjacent to close the air outlet 110.

[0100] As mentioned above, the emission tip 231 of the emission electrode 230 extends out of the front edge of the vertical deflector 300. It should be noted here that when the transverse deflector 400 rotates to the vertical state to close the air outlet 110, it is necessary to ensure that the emission tip 231 of the emission electrode 230 does not touch the transverse deflector 400.

[0101] In other embodiments, the ion generation module 200 can also be installed on the transverse deflector 400. At this time, it should be noted that since the transverse deflector 400 needs to rotate to the vertical state to close the air outlet 110, in this embodiment, the emission tip 231 of the emission electrode 230 is preferably not to extend out of the front edge of the transverse deflector 400 to avoid touching the emission tip 231 when the transverse deflector 400 closes the air outlet 110.

[0102] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 8, a serrated structure 310 is provided on the front edge of the vertical deflector 300, and the serrated structure 310 can break up the air flow and improve the air outlet comfort.

[0103] In some embodiments, a notch 320 is provided on the vertical deflector 300, and the notch 320 is used to make way for the horizontal deflector 400. When the horizontal deflector 400 swings up and down, the setting of the notch 320 prevents the horizontal deflector 400 from touching the vertical deflector 300.

[0104] The setting of the notch 320, on the one hand, prevents the horizontal deflector 400 from interfering with the movement of the vertical deflector 300; on the other hand, it is conducive to the horizontal deflector 400 and the vertical deflector 300 being as close as possible in the air outlet direction, with a compact structure and improved air flow smoothness.

[0105] In some embodiments, the emission electrode 230 is at least one of a metal tip, a carbon brush, and a conductive fiber tip bar.

[0106] In some embodiments, there are multiple ion generation modules 200, and the multiple ion generation modules 200 are arranged in sequence along the width direction of the air outlet 110. The emission electrodes 230 in the multiple ion generation modules 200 are connected to negative high voltage and / or positive high voltage.

[0107] The ion generation module 200 is designed with different power supply methods to achieve different purification effects.

[0108] When the ion generation module 200 is connected to negative high voltage, the emission electrode 230 releases negative ions, and the ion generation module 200 relies on negative ions for air purification.

[0109] When, in multiple ion generation modules 200, some emission electrodes 230 are connected to negative high voltage and some emission electrodes 230 are connected to positive high voltage, the ion generation module 200 relies on positive ions and negative ions for air purification. The positive ions and negative ions collide, and the purification effect is stronger.

[0110] When the emission electrode 230 is made of carbon brush material and contains a water absorbent inside, the ion generation module 200 mainly purifies the air by releasing hydroxyl radicals.

[0111] In some embodiments, in multiple ion generation modules 200, some emission electrodes 230 are connected to negative high voltage and some emission electrodes 230 are connected to positive high voltage. The number of emission electrodes 230 connected to negative high voltage is greater than the number of emission electrodes 230 connected to positive high voltage, so that the number of generated negative ions is more than the number of positive ions, enhancing the air purification effect.

[0112] In some embodiments, multiple ion generation modules 200 form multiple ion generation groups 10. Figure 20It contains two groups of ion generation groups 10, and each ion generation group 10 contains three ion generation modules 200. Among the three ion generation modules 200 in each ion generation group 10, the ion generation modules 200 on both sides are connected to negative high voltage, and the ion generation module 200 in the middle is connected to positive high voltage. In this way, not only can the amount of negative ions be more than that of positive ions, but also it is beneficial for the collision between negative ions and positive ions, improving the air purification effect.

[0113] In some embodiments, the number of ion generation modules 200 can be set as required, and it is not necessary to set an ion generation module 200 on each vertical deflector 300.

[0114] In some embodiments, the type of the ion generation module 200 can also be set as required, and it can be a negative ion type or a positive and negative ion type or a water ion type.

[0115] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 15 , a plurality of air guiding components 20 are arranged at the air outlet 110. The plurality of air guiding components 20 are arranged along the width direction of the air outlet 110, and the air guiding component 20 is configured to adjust the direction of the gas flowing out of the air outlet 110.

[0116] Each air guiding component 20 is configured to cover or open a part of the air outlet area of the air outlet 110. When the plurality of air guiding components 20 are closed, the air outlet 110 is completely closed. When a certain air guiding component 20 is opened, the corresponding air outlet area is opened.

[0117] The movements of the air guiding components 20 are independent of each other, so that the gas flowing out of the air outlet 110 blows to different spatial areas in the room.

[0118] An ion generation module 200 is provided on at least one of the air guiding components 20. The ion generation module 200 moves synchronously with the air guiding component 20. Since the movements of the air guiding components 20 are independent of each other, the ions released by the ion generation modules 200 provided on different air guiding components 20 can be blown to different areas in the room, meeting the different air supply and sterilization needs of users.

[0119] As described above, each air guiding component 20 includes a vertical deflector 300 and a horizontal deflector 400 to realize the adjustment of the air outlet direction in the left-right and up-down directions. The ion generation module 200 is provided on the vertical deflector 300.

[0120] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 15 , a first air guiding component 21 is arranged at the air outlet 110. The air outlet area of the air outlet 110 covered by the first air guiding component 21 is the first air outlet area 51, and the first air guiding component 21 is configured to adjust the direction of the gas flowing out of the first air outlet area 51.

[0121] A second air guiding component 22 is provided at the air outlet 110. The air outlet area of the air outlet 110 covered by the second air guiding component 22 is the second air outlet area 52. The second air guiding component 22 is configured to adjust the direction of the gas flowing out from the second air outlet area 52.

[0122] The first air guiding component 21 and the second air guiding component 22 are arranged in sequence along the width of the air outlet 110, dividing the air outlet 110 into a first air outlet area 51 and a second air outlet area 52.

[0123] The ion generation module 200 is provided on the first air guiding component 21 and / or the second air guiding component 22.

[0124] The ion generation module 200 is provided on the first air guiding component 21. The ions released by the ion generation module 200 are blown into the indoor space along with the air flow flowing out from the first air outlet area 51.

[0125] The ion generation module 200 is provided on the second air guiding component 22. The ions released by the ion generation module 200 are blown into the indoor space along with the air flow flowing out from the second air outlet area 52.

[0126] By controlling the movement of the first air guiding component 21 and the second air guiding component 22, the air conditioning device realizes different air outlet modes.

[0127] In some embodiments, the area of the first air outlet area 51 covered by the first air guiding component 21 is S1, and the area of the second air outlet area 52 covered by the second air guiding component 22 is S2, where S1 > S2.

[0128] Among the first air guiding component 21 and the second air guiding component 22, the ion generation module 200 is provided at least on the second air guiding component 22.

[0129] The first air outlet area 51 is the air outlet of the air conditioner, and the second air outlet area 52 is the air outlet of the ion wind. Through the independent control of the movement of the first air guiding component 21 and the second air guiding component 22, the independent adjustment of the directions of the air conditioner wind and the ion wind is realized to meet the different air supply and sterilization requirements of users.

[0130] In some embodiments, the air conditioning device has a first operation mode. Refer to Figure 17 , the gas deflected by the first air guiding component 21 blows in front of the air outlet 110, and the gas deflected by the second air guiding component 22 blows below the air outlet 110.

[0131] Specifically, in the first operation mode, the horizontal deflector 400 on the first air guiding component 21 swings upward to the highest position, and the vertical deflector 300 runs along the edge. The first air guiding component 21 blows the air conditioner wind flowing out from the first air outlet area 51 in a nearly horizontal direction, realizing the "wind avoiding people" mode of the air conditioner wind and avoiding the direct blowing of the air conditioner wind on people.

[0132] In the first operation mode, the lateral deflector 400 on the second air guiding assembly 22 blows obliquely downward, the vertical deflector 300 swings left and right, and the vertical deflector 300 drives the ion generating module 200 disposed thereon to move synchronously. The ions flowing out from the second air outlet area 52 blow the ions to the area where people move in the room, realizing the "wind blowing people" mode of the ion wind. Since the area of the second air outlet area 52 in the air outlet 110 is small, the wind feeling of the ion wind blowing on the human body surface is small, but it can improve the ion concentration around the human body as much as possible, thereby realizing the coexistence of healthy breathing and body feeling comfort.

[0133] In some embodiments, the air conditioning device has a second operation mode. Refer to Figure 18 , the first air guiding assembly 21 is closed, the second air guiding assembly 22 is opened, and the gas is directed to blow to the space area far from the air outlet 110 through the second air guiding assembly 22.

[0134] Specifically, in some rooms with a large space, it is difficult for ions to be transmitted over a long distance. Under certain conditions of the fan 150 of the air conditioning device, in order to achieve the ultra-long-distance transmission of ions, it is necessary to increase the wind speed of the ion wind, that is, increase the wind force.

[0135] In the second operation mode, the first air guiding assembly 21 is closed, so that the first air outlet area 51 is closed, that is, the air outlet 110 of the air conditioner is closed.

[0136] In the second operation mode, the second air guiding assembly 22 is opened, so that the second air outlet area 52 is opened, the air outlet area is reduced, and the Venturi principle is used to compress the air at the ion wind outlet, thereby maximizing the wind speed at the ion wind outlet. The conveying direction is controlled by the lateral deflector 400 and the vertical deflector 300 of the second air guiding assembly 22, so as to realize the ultra-long-distance directional transmission of ions.

[0137] Refer to Figure 19 , the movement of ions in the air is mainly affected by two factors: wind force and electric field force. The wind force and the electric field force act on the ions at the same time. When the directions of the two forces are the same, the resultant force is the largest, and the ions move the farthest. When there is an angle between the wind force and the electric field force, the resultant force weakens, and the movement distance of the ions will be affected. The ion generating module 200 is disposed on the second air guiding assembly 22, and the emitting electrode 230 faces outward, which is consistent with the air guiding direction, so that the directions of the wind force and the electric field force coincide, and the ion transmission distance at this time reaches the farthest accordingly.

[0138] In some embodiments, the air conditioning device has a third operation mode. Refer to Figure 16 , which is the default mode when the device is turned on. The first air guiding assembly 21 and the second air guiding assembly 22 move synchronously, so that the air outlet directions of the air conditioner wind and the ion wind are the same.

[0139] In some embodiments, the air conditioning device has a fourth operating mode in which the first air deflector assembly 21 and the second air deflector assembly 22 are controlled independently so that the outlet directions of the air-conditioning air and the ionic wind are different, and the movements of the first air deflector assembly 21 and the second air deflector assembly 22 are controlled according to the user's air supply and sterilization requirements.

[0140] In some embodiments, the air conditioning device includes an infrared sensor configured to detect the position of a human body in the room, and the system controls the movements of the first air deflector assembly 21 and the second air deflector assembly 22 according to the human body position to achieve automatic control of "avoiding people with air-conditioning air and blowing people with ionic wind".

[0142] The above are only specific embodiments of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention should be subject to the protection scope of the claims.
