Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to, but is not limited to, the field of air conditioning technology, specifically to a water tray and an air conditioner. Background Technology

[0002] In related technologies, air conditioners are equipped with air outlets, which have air outlet spaces. During air conditioner use, condensation easily forms on the air outlets, causing water dripping and resulting in a poor user experience. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this application is to provide a water collection tray and an air conditioner, which helps to improve the problem of water dripping caused by condensation at the air outlet during the use of the air conditioner, thereby improving the user experience.

[0004] This application provides a water receiving tray for use in an air conditioner. The air conditioner has an air outlet and an air outlet space. The water receiving tray includes: a water receiving part with a water receiving groove; a transition part connected to the water receiving part and located between the air outlet and the water receiving part; the transition part includes a partition part with a partition groove; and a wind deflector strip installed on the transition part and covering the partition groove to restrict airflow from being discharged through the partition groove. A partition gap exists between the wind deflector strip and the transition part.

[0005] The water receiving tray provided in this application embodiment has a transition section between the water receiving part and the air outlet part. Since the transition section includes a partition part with a partition groove, the cold bridge (corresponding to the partition groove part) between the water receiving part and the air outlet part can be cut off, thereby reducing the heat transfer between the water receiving part and the air outlet part. This reduces the impact of the low temperature of the water receiving part on the air outlet part, which is beneficial to increasing the temperature of the air outlet part in the cooling mode, reducing the risk of condensation and dripping water in the air outlet part, and thus improving the user experience.

[0006] The wind deflector can cover the partition groove to prevent air leakage and ensure the air volume of the air conditioner. Furthermore, the gap between the wind deflector and the transition section reduces heat transfer between them, which in turn reduces heat transfer between the wind deflector and the air outlet. This reduces the impact of the low temperature of the water collection area on the air outlet, thus helping to increase the temperature of the air outlet in cooling mode and reducing the risk of condensation and dripping.

[0041] in, Figure 1 and Figure 2 The dashed arrows in the image indicate the direction of airflow. Detailed Implementation

[0042] The principles and features of this application are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The examples given are only for explaining this application and are not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0043] Research has found that the reason why condensation and dripping water easily occur at the air outlet of air conditioners in related technologies is as follows: the water collection tray is located below the evaporator, and in cooling mode, it collects the low-temperature condensate dripping from the evaporator, resulting in a low temperature. The close proximity of the water collection tray to the air outlet creates a cold bridge, further lowering the temperature of the air outlet. Consequently, when the warmer air comes into contact with the air outlet, condensation occurs, causing dripping water.

[0044] Therefore, such as Figure 5 As shown in the figure, this application embodiment provides a water receiving tray 12, which is applied to an air conditioner. The air conditioner can be, but is not limited to, an air conditioner with dual air outlets.

[0045] like Figure 2 As shown, the air conditioner has an air outlet 121, and the air outlet 121 has an air outlet space 1211. This air outlet 121 can be the lower air outlet of an air conditioner with dual air outlets, configured to direct airflow downwards. The air conditioner can also have a side air outlet, configured to direct airflow forwards, such as... Figure 1 As shown. When the air conditioner is discharging air from the side, there is little or no airflow passing through the lower air outlet, but the transfer of cold energy in the water tank 1221 is not affected, resulting in more pronounced condensation in the lower air outlet 121.

[0046] like Figure 4 As shown, the water receiving tray 12 includes: a water receiving part 122 (the part to the right of the dividing line L1), a transition part 123 (the part between the dividing lines L1 and L4), and a wind deflector 124.

[0047] Among them, such as Figure 1 As shown, the water receiving part 122 is provided with a water receiving groove 1221. The transition part 123 is connected to the water receiving part 122 and is located between the air outlet part 121 and the water receiving part 122. The transition part 123 includes a partition part 1231 (the part between the dividing lines L3 and L4), such as... Figure 4 As shown. The partition section 1231 is provided with a partition groove 1234, such as... Figure 6As shown. A wind deflector 124 is installed on the transition portion 123 and covers the partition groove 1234 to restrict airflow from exiting through the partition groove 1234. A partition gap 1235 exists between the wind deflector 124 and the transition portion 123. Figure 9 As shown.

[0048] The water receiving tray 12 provided in this application embodiment has a transition portion 123 between the water receiving portion 122 and the air outlet portion 121. Since the transition portion 123 includes a partition portion 1231 and the partition portion 1231 is provided with a partition groove 1234, the cold bridge (corresponding to the part of the partition groove 1234) between the water receiving portion 122 and the air outlet portion 121 can be cut off, thereby reducing the heat transfer between the water receiving portion 122 and the air outlet portion 121. This can reduce the impact of the low temperature of the water receiving portion 122 on the air outlet portion 121, thereby helping to increase the temperature of the air outlet portion 121 in the cooling mode, reducing the risk of condensation and dripping water in the air outlet portion 121, and thus improving the user experience.

[0049] The wind deflector 124 can cover the partition groove 1234 to prevent air leakage at the partition groove 1234 and ensure the air volume of the air conditioner. In addition, there is a partition gap 1235 between the wind deflector 124 and the transition part 123, which can reduce the heat transfer between the transition part 123 and the wind deflector 124, and thus help reduce the heat transfer between the wind deflector 124 and the air outlet 121. This can reduce the impact of the low temperature of the water receiving part 122 on the air outlet 121, thereby helping to increase the temperature of the air outlet 121 in the cooling mode and reducing the risk of condensation and dripping water in the air outlet 121.

[0050] Among them, such as Figure 5 As shown, the air outlet 121 can be roughly prism-shaped, enclosing an air outlet space 1211 that is also roughly prism-shaped. As shown, the inner wall of the air outlet 121 can include a first air outlet wall 1212, and the inner wall of the water receiving part 122 can include a first side wall 1222. The transition part 123 is located between the first air outlet wall 1212 and the first side wall 1222. Since the first side wall 1222 is the area in direct contact with the air duct 14, it is completely cold in cooling mode. The first air outlet wall 1212 is the part of the air outlet 121 closest to the water receiving part 122; therefore, a cold bridge is mainly formed between the first side wall 1222 and the first air outlet wall 1212. Furthermore, the first air outlet wall 1212 has the lowest temperature and is most prone to condensation. Therefore, by providing a transition portion 123 between the first side wall 1222 and the first air outlet wall 1212, the amount of cold energy transferred from the water receiving portion 122 to the first air outlet wall 1212 can be effectively reduced, thereby helping to prevent condensation from occurring on the air outlet wall.

[0051] In some embodiments, along the direction from the first sidewall 1222 to the first air outlet wall 1212, the first sidewall 1222 extends obliquely upward and toward the first air outlet wall 1212, such as... Figure 4 As shown. In other words, the first sidewall 1222 is inclined, and the upper end of the first sidewall 1222 extends inclinedly toward the first air outlet wall 1212.

[0052] In this way, the first sidewall 1222 can also play a guiding role, which is conducive to guiding the airflow to the air outlet 121 and improving the wind speed distribution in the air outlet space 1211, making the wind speed distribution in the air outlet space 1211 tend to be uniform, thereby reducing the size of the backflow zone generated in the air outlet space 1211, reducing the risk of backflow zone generated in the air outlet space 1211, and thus further reducing the risk of condensation in the air outlet 121.

[0053] In some exemplary embodiments, the transition portion 123 further includes a sealing portion 1232 (the portion between the boundary lines L1 and L2) and a gap portion 1238 (the portion between the boundary lines L2 and L3), such as Figure 4 and Figure 9 As shown.

[0054] The sealing part 1232 is located between the gap part 1238 and the water receiving part 122, and is connected to both the water receiving part 122 and the gap part 1238. The sealing part 1232 is configured to seal with the first air guide plate 21 of the air conditioner to ensure the airtightness of the air outlet space 1211 when no air is being discharged. Figure 3 As shown, the first air guide plate 21 may include a substrate 211 and an insulation layer 212 (such as a foamed layer) disposed on the substrate 211. The insulation layer 212 can be fitted with the sealing part 1232 to achieve a seal. The substrate 211 may be, but is not limited to, a plastic part.

[0055] The gap 1238 is located between the sealing part 1232 and the partition part 1231, and is connected to both the sealing part 1232 and the partition part 1231. The gap 1238 is configured to have a gap with the first air guide plate 21. The gap helps to avoid interference or poor sealing caused by an excessively large contact area between the first air guide plate 21 and the water receiving tray 12. It also serves to isolate the cold bridge between the first air guide plate 21 and the partition part 1231, thereby reducing the amount of cold energy transferred to the partition part 1231 and thus reducing the risk of condensation at the air outlet 121.

[0056] The partition gap 1235 is located between the wind deflector 124 and the gap 1238 to effectively reduce the amount of cold energy transferred to the partition 1231.

[0057] In some exemplary embodiments, the width W3 of the gap 1238 (e.g.) Figure 16The gap (as shown) is less than 10mm, which can avoid the gap 1238 being too wide and causing too much cold air to be transferred to the gap 1238. This helps to reduce the cold air transferred from the gap 1238 to the partition 1231, and also helps to reduce the risk of condensation in the air outlet 121.

[0058] Of course, the width of the gap 1238 can be adjusted as needed, for example, it can be greater than or equal to 10mm.

[0059] In some exemplary embodiments, such as Figure 6 As shown, the partition portion 1231 includes a plurality of connecting ribs 1233 spaced apart along the length of the wind deflector strip 124. The space between any adjacent connecting ribs 1233 forms a partition groove 1234. The two ends of the connecting ribs 1233 can be connected to the gap portion 1238 and the air outlet portion 121.

[0060] The connecting ribs 1233 can play a connecting and strengthening role, which is conducive to improving the structural strength of the partition part 1231, reducing the risk of deformation of the partition part 1231, and also helps to ensure that the width of each partition groove 1234 is uniform.

[0061] In some exemplary embodiments, such as Figure 6 As shown, a recessed platform 1239 is provided at the partition groove 1234 to support the wind deflector strip 124, thereby limiting the wind-passing side surface of the wind deflector strip 124 from protruding from the partition portion 1231 (e.g., Figure 4 As shown, the wind deflector 124 is designed to reduce wind resistance, which helps to ensure the air volume of the air outlet space 1211. The wind-passing side surface of the wind deflector body 1241 can smoothly transition with the first air outlet wall 1212 of the air outlet section 121.

[0062] In some exemplary embodiments, such as Figure 14 As shown, the width W2 of the partition groove 1234 is greater than or equal to 4 mm. This effectively isolates the cold bridge and reduces the amount of cold air transferred to the air outlet 121. Of course, the width of the partition groove 1234 is not limited to the above range and can also be set to less than 4 mm as needed.

[0063] In some exemplary embodiments, such as Figure 13 As shown, the width W1 of the partition gap 1235 is greater than 0.4 mm. This effectively isolates the cold bridge and reduces the amount of cold air transferred to the air outlet 121. Of course, the width of the partition gap 1235 is not limited to the above range and can also be set to less than or equal to 0.4 mm as needed.

[0064] In some exemplary embodiments, such as Figure 5 As shown, the water receiving tray 12 also includes an air outlet 121. Figure 4 (The part to the left of the dividing line L4), the air outlet 121 is connected to the transition part 123.

[0065] In other words, in this embodiment, the water tray 12 integrates an air outlet 121 in addition to the water receiving part 122 and the transition part 123. Therefore, it has both the function of receiving condensate and the function of air outlet, which can better meet the needs of air conditioners with dual air outlets (bottom air outlet and side water outlet) for receiving condensate and bottom air outlet.

[0066] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 As shown, the air outlet 121, transition section 123, and water receiving section 122 are designed as an integral structure. This improves the connection strength and reliability of the water receiving section 122, transition section 123, and air outlet 121, and eliminates the assembly process between them. For example, the air outlet 121, transition section 123, and water receiving section 122 can be integrally molded by injection molding, which facilitates the rational design of the shapes of the water receiving section 122, air outlet 121, and transition section 123 as needed.

[0067] In other embodiments, at least two of the air outlet 121, transition portion 123, and water receiving portion 122 are configured as separate assembly structures. For example, the water receiving portion 122, transition portion 123, and air outlet 121 can be formed separately and then assembled together by fastener connection, snap-fit, or other methods. Alternatively, the water receiving portion 122 and transition portion 123 can be integrally formed, while the air outlet 121 can be separately formed and then assembled together by fastener connection, snap-fit, or other methods.

[0068] In some exemplary embodiments, such as Figure 9 As shown, the wind deflector 124 includes a wind deflector body 1241 and a snap-fit ​​assembly disposed on the leeward side surface of the wind deflector body 1241. The wind deflector body 1241 covers the partition groove 1234 to achieve the function of blocking wind.

[0069] A partition gap 1235 is formed between the end of the wind deflector body 1241 away from the air outlet 121 and the transition portion 123 to effectively reduce the amount of cold air transferred to the wind deflector body 1241.

[0070] The snap-fit ​​assembly engages with the partition groove 1234, causing the wind deflector 124 to engage with the transition part 123, thus achieving snap-fit ​​assembly of the wind deflector 124, which helps to improve assembly efficiency.

[0071] In some exemplary embodiments, the latch assembly includes a first latch 1244 and a second latch 1245 spaced apart along the length of the windshield strip body 1241, such as... Figures 7 to 10 as well as Figure 12As shown. The first buckle 1244 and the second buckle 1245 work together to stably engage the wind deflector 124 with the partition 1231.

[0072] like Figure 8 As shown, the partition portion 1231 has a first rib 1236 extending along the length of the windbreak strip body 1241 at one end near the water receiving portion 122. The partition portion 1231 has a second rib 1237 extending along the length of the windbreak strip body 1241 at the other end away from the water receiving portion 122. A partition groove 1234 is located between the first rib 1236 and the second rib 1237, and the distance between the first rib 1236 and the second rib 1237 is less than the width of the windbreak strip body 1241, thus restricting the windbreak strip body 1241 from passing through the partition groove 1234. The second rib 1237 can form part of the recessed platform 1239.

[0073] The first buckle 1244 is configured to pass through the partition groove 1234 and engage with the first protruding rib 1236 to prevent the wind deflector strip 124 from disengaging from the partition portion 1231. The second buckle 1245 is configured to pass through the partition groove 1234 and engage with the second protruding rib 1237 to prevent the wind deflector strip 124 from disengaging from the partition portion 1231.

[0074] Please refer to Figure 11 and Figure 13 As shown, during installation, the wind deflector strip 124 is fastened into the partition groove 1234 along the direction from its windward side surface to its leeward side surface. A portion of the first clip 1244 and the second clip 1245 can pass through the partition groove 1234 and are respectively engaged with the first rib 1236 and the second rib 1237, thereby preventing the wind deflector strip 124 from detaching from the partition portion 1231. Since the width of the wind deflector strip body 1241 is greater than the width between the first rib 1236 and the second rib 1237, the wind deflector strip body 1241 cannot pass through the partition groove 1234 and is blocked by the first rib 1236 and the second rib 1237. This prevents the wind deflector strip body 1241 from passing through the partition groove 1234 and causing it to detach. Furthermore, due to the obstruction of the first rib 1236 and the second rib 1237, the wind deflector strip 124 cannot move relative to the partition portion 1231 along its width direction. The end walls at both ends of the partition groove 1234 along its length direction can restrict the movement of the wind deflector strip 124 relative to the partition portion 1231 along its length direction. This allows the wind deflector strip 124 to be stably locked onto the partition portion 1231.

[0075] In some exemplary embodiments, such as Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, the first buckle 1244 has a first partition 1253 at one end near the second rib 1237. The first partition 1253 is sandwiched between the wind deflector body 1241 and the second rib 1237, enabling point contact between the wind deflector 124 and the second rib 1237. Since the second rib 1237 is close to the air outlet 121, a cold bridge can even be established between them. Compared to surface contact, point contact reduces the contact area, thereby reducing heat transfer between the wind deflector 124 and the second rib 1237, which in turn reduces the amount of cold air transferred to the air outlet 121, thus reducing the risk of condensation at the air outlet 121.

[0076] like Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the second buckle 1245 has a second partition 1254 at one end near the first rib 1236. The second partition 1254 is sandwiched between the wind deflector body 1241 and the first rib 1236, enabling point contact between the wind deflector body 1241 and the partition 1231. Compared to surface contact, point contact reduces the contact area, thereby reducing heat transfer between the wind deflector 124 and the first rib 1236, which in turn reduces the amount of cold air transferred to the air outlet 121, thus reducing the risk of condensation in the air outlet 121.

[0077] In some exemplary embodiments, such as Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the wind deflector body 1241 includes a wind deflector portion 1242 and a third rib 1243 provided on the leeward side surface of the wind deflector portion 1242 and extending along the length direction of the wind deflector body 1241. The wind deflector portion 1242 covers the partition groove 1234, and a partition gap 1235 is formed between the end of the wind deflector portion 1242 away from the air outlet portion 121 and the transition portion 123. Figure 13 As shown, a first clearance slope 1260 can be provided at the end of the windbreak portion 1242 away from the air outlet portion 121, and a second clearance slope 1230 can be provided correspondingly at the transition portion 123. A partition gap 1235 is formed between the first clearance slope 1260 and the second clearance slope 1230. The first clearance slope 1260 and the second clearance slope 1230 can be arranged parallel to each other and inclined relative to the thickness direction of the windbreak portion 1242. This helps to extend the depth of the partition gap 1235, thereby helping to reduce the leakage of airflow outward through the partition gap 1235.

[0078] The third rib 1243 is located between the first rib 1236 and the second rib 1237 and is inserted into the partition groove 1234.

[0079] like Figure 7As shown, the end of the first buckle 1244 away from the second rib 1237 is located on the side of the third rib 1243 away from the second rib 1237. The first partition rib 1253 is sandwiched between the windproof portion 1242 and the second rib 1237 and extends along the width direction of the windproof portion 1242. The end of the second buckle 1245 away from the second rib 1237 is connected to the third rib 1243. The second partition rib 1254 is sandwiched between the third rib 1243 and the first rib 1236 and extends along the thickness direction of the windproof portion 1242.

[0080] Therefore, the first rib 1253 can also restrict the movement of the wind deflector strip 124 relative to the partition portion 1231 along the thickness direction of the wind deflector portion 1242, and the second rib 1254 can also restrict the movement of the wind deflector strip 124 relative to the partition portion 1231 along the width direction of the wind deflector portion 1242, which helps to improve the positional stability and reliability of the wind deflector strip 124. Furthermore, the third rib 1243 can also act as a wind deflector, helping to prevent airflow from leaking out through the partition gap 1235, thus helping to increase the airflow volume of the air outlet space 1211.

[0081] In some exemplary embodiments, such as Figure 7 As shown, the buckle assembly also includes a third buckle 1246, which is located between the adjacent first buckle 1244 and second buckle 1245. The third buckle 1246 is also provided with a first partition 1253 and a second partition 1254, which helps to further improve the positional stability and reliability of the windshield strip 124.

[0082] In some exemplary embodiments, such as Figure 15 As shown, the contact surface between the first rib 1253 and the second rib 1237 is designated as the first contact surface 1255. The width and length of the first contact surface 1255 are both less than 5 mm, in order to reduce the contact area between the first rib 1253 and the second rib 1237, thereby reducing the heat transfer between them. Of course, the width of the first contact surface 1255 is not limited to the above range and can be set to be greater than or equal to 5 mm as needed. Similarly, the length of the first contact surface 1255 is not limited to the above range and can also be set to be greater than or equal to 5 mm as needed.

[0083] In some exemplary embodiments, the contact surface between the second rib 1254 and the first rib 1236 is referred to as the second contact surface (not shown in the figure). The width and length of the second contact surface are less than 5 mm, in order to reduce the contact area between the second rib 1254 and the first rib 1236, thereby reducing the heat transfer between them. Of course, the width of the second contact surface is not limited to the above range and can be set to be greater than or equal to 5 mm as needed. Similarly, the length of the second contact surface is not limited to the above range and can be set to be greater than or equal to 5 mm as needed.

[0084] In some exemplary embodiments, such as Figure 10 As shown, there are multiple partition grooves 1234 and multiple buckle groups. The multiple buckle groups correspond one-to-one with the multiple partition grooves 1234, which can realize the fixation of multiple parts of the wind deflector 124, which is conducive to improving the positional stability and reliability of the wind deflector 124.

[0085] In some exemplary embodiments, such as Figure 15 As shown, the first buckle 1244 includes a first insertion portion 1247, a first bending portion 1248, and a first abutting portion 1249 connected in sequence. The first insertion portion 1247 is connected to the wind deflector strip body 1241 and inserted into the partition groove 1234. The first abutting portion 1249 is configured to abut against the first protruding rib 1236. The first bending portion 1248 is configured as an arc-shaped bending portion to facilitate the smooth passage of the first buckle 1244 through the partition groove 1234. A first partition rib 1253 is provided in the first insertion portion 1247.

[0086] In some exemplary embodiments, such as Figure 15 As shown, the second buckle 1245 includes a second insertion portion 1250, a second bending portion 1251, and a second abutting portion 1252 connected in sequence. The second insertion portion 1250 is connected to the wind deflector strip body 1241 and inserted into the partition groove 1234. The second abutting portion 1252 is configured to abut against the second protruding rib 1237. The second bending portion 1251 is configured as an arc-shaped bending portion to facilitate the smooth passage of the second buckle 1245 through the partition groove 1234. The second partition rib 1254 is provided in the second insertion portion 1250. The second abutting portion 1252 may be provided with a guide slope 1261, and the second protruding rib 1237 may be provided with a mating slope 1262. The guide slope 1261 and the mating slope 1262 abut against each other.

[0087] In some exemplary embodiments, such as Figure 15As shown, the third buckle 1246 includes a third insertion part 1257, a third bending part 1258, and a fourth insertion part 1259 connected in sequence. Both the third insertion part 1257 and the fourth insertion part 1259 are connected to the wind deflector strip body 1241 and inserted into the partition groove 1234. The third bending part 1258 is configured as an arc-shaped bending part to facilitate the smooth passage of the third buckle 1246 through the partition groove 1234. The first partition rib 1253 is provided in the fourth insertion part 1259, and the second partition rib 1254 is provided in the third insertion part 1257.

[0088] In some exemplary embodiments, the air outlet 121 is located at the end of the water receiving tray 12 in the width direction, such as... Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown. Compared to placing the air outlet 121 in the middle of the width direction of the water receiving tray 12, the structure of the water receiving tray 12 in this design is simpler and easier to process and form. The air outlet 121, the transition section 123, and the water receiving section 122 can be arranged along the width direction of the water receiving tray 12.

[0089] The air outlet 121 can be located downstream of the water receiving part 122. In this way, the distance between the air outlet 121 and the side air outlet of the air conditioner is small, which makes it easier for the air outlet 121 and the side air outlet to share the same air guide plate (such as the first air guide plate 21 described below), thereby simplifying the air guiding structure of the air conditioner.

[0090] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this application embodiment also provides an air conditioner, including a housing, the housing including the water receiving tray 12 of any of the above embodiments, and thus has all the above-mentioned beneficial effects, which will not be repeated here.

[0091] In some exemplary embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the housing also includes an outer shell 11 and an air guide support 13. The air conditioner also includes an air guide mechanism. The air guide support 13 is connected to the outer shell 11, and the water tray 12 is connected to the outer shell 11 and the air guide support 13. An air duct 14 is provided inside the outer shell 11.

[0092] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the air outlet 121 and the air guide support 13 together form a first air vent 151 that communicates with the air outlet space 1211. The air guide support 13 is provided with a second air vent 152. The first air vent 151 and the second air vent 152 have different air outlet directions. The first air vent 151 is configured to communicate with the air duct 14 to form a first air outlet channel, and the second air vent 152 is configured to communicate with the air duct 14 to form a second air outlet channel. In other words, when the first air vent 151 is connected to the air duct 14, the air outlet channel formed by their connection is the first air outlet channel. In other words, when the second air vent 152 is connected to the air duct 14, the air outlet channel formed by their connection is the second air outlet channel.

[0093] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, an indoor heat exchanger 3 and a fan 4 can be installed inside the air duct 14. When the fan 4 rotates, indoor air enters the air duct 14, exchanges heat with the indoor heat exchanger 3, and is then discharged into the indoor space through the air outlet channel, thus regulating the temperature of the indoor air.

[0094] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the air guiding mechanism includes a first air guide plate 21 and a second air guide plate 22 located inside the housing and movably connected to the housing. The first air guide plate 21 and the second air guide plate 22 cooperate to control the opening and closing of the first air outlet 151 and the second air outlet 152, so that the air conditioner has a first air outlet mode where the first air outlet channel is open and the second air outlet channel is closed (e.g., Figure 2 As shown), the second air outlet mode (such as) where the first air outlet channel is disconnected and the second air outlet channel is open. Figure 1 (as shown in the figure), and a third air outlet mode in which both the first and second air outlet channels are open (not shown in the figure).

[0095] The air conditioner provided in this application embodiment has three air outlet modes by setting a first air outlet 151 and a second air outlet 152 with different air outlet directions, as well as a first air guide plate 21 and a second air guide plate 22 that cooperate with the first air outlet 151 and the second air outlet 152. This allows the air conditioner to have three air outlet modes, which makes it convenient for users to choose the air outlet mode according to their needs, which helps to meet the different air outlet needs of users and thus improves the user experience.

[0096] Furthermore, the first air vent 151 and the second air vent 152 only require the cooperation of the first air guide plate 21 and the second air guide plate 22 to control their opening and closing and achieve the switching of three air outlet modes, without the need for other wind deflectors 1242 or air guide components (such as movable volutes or other deformable or movable wind deflectors), which helps to simplify the structure of the air conditioner and reduce production costs.

[0097] In this embodiment of the application, the air conditioner can be the indoor unit of a split air conditioner, such as a duct-type indoor unit or a wall-mounted indoor unit, or it can be a split air conditioner that includes an indoor unit and an outdoor unit, or it can be an integrated air conditioner.

[0098] In some embodiments, the first air vent 151 can be a downdraft vent, discharging air downwards; the second air vent 152 can be a side vent, discharging air horizontally. Therefore, the first air outlet mode is a downdraft mode, the second air outlet mode is a downdraft mode, and the third air outlet mode is a dual-air outlet mode. When the user needs rapid cooling or rapid heating, they can select the first air outlet mode, in which case the airflow will be discharged downwards through the first air outlet channel. Figure 2 As shown, this facilitates rapid temperature reduction or increase in the area below. When users want to avoid direct airflow, they can select the second air outlet mode, in which case the airflow is discharged laterally through the second air outlet channel, such as... Figure 1 As shown, this design facilitates long-distance airflow and avoids direct airflow onto the user. When the user wants uniform cooling or heating throughout the area, they can select the third airflow mode. In this mode, the airflow is blown out through both the first and second airflow channels, which can quickly adjust the temperature of the nearby area below and also deliver air over a long distance, allowing for rapid temperature adjustment in distant areas as well.

[0099] In related technologies, ordinary central air conditioning duct-type indoor units are typically embedded in the ceiling, with one air inlet and one air outlet, usually employing a bottom air intake and side air outlet configuration with an engineering grille (fixed air outlet direction). However, this air delivery method prevents the heated air from reaching the ground, resulting in a large air delivery blind spot and significant temperature differences between near and far areas. Some products are equipped with electric panels (adjustable air outlet direction) to adjust the air outlet direction, but these have disadvantages such as high cost, difficulty in home decoration matching, and installation difficulties, resulting in a relatively low actual standard installation rate. Some products use a bottom air outlet configuration, but this has the problem of the cooling air blowing directly onto people, leading to lower product acceptance.

[0100] The air conditioner provided in this application embodiment has two air outlets with different airflow directions, enabling three different airflow modes. Users can choose according to their needs. The first airflow mode solves the problem of hot air not reaching the ground in heating mode; the second airflow mode solves the problem of cold air blowing directly on people in cooling mode; and the third airflow mode solves the problems of large airflow blind spots and large temperature differences between near and far, effectively addressing the pain points of existing duct-type indoor units. Furthermore, this air conditioner can be paired with a standard engineering grille for better coordination with home décor, making it popular with users; or it can be paired with an electric control panel to further enhance the user experience.

[0101] In some exemplary embodiments, as shown in the figure, the second air vent 152 includes a first sub-air vent 1521 and a second sub-air vent 1522 that are interconnected, and the second sub-air vent 1522 is located between the first air vent 151 and the first sub-air vent 1521.

[0102] The first air guide plate 21 is rotatably connected to the housing and is configured to be in a first position relative to the housing, where the first air vent 151 is closed and the second sub-air vent 1522 is open (e.g., ...). Figure 1 (As shown), the second position of opening the first air vent 151 and the second sub-air vent 1522 (not shown in the figure), and the third position of opening the first air vent 151 and closing the second sub-air vent 1522 (as shown in the figure). Figure 2 Rotate between (as shown).

[0103] The second air guide plate 22 is rotatably connected to the housing and is configured to be in a fourth position relative to the housing, closing the first sub-air vent 1521 (e.g., Figure 2 (as shown) and the fifth position of opening the first sub-vent 1521 (as shown) Figure 1 Rotate between (as shown).

[0104] When the first air guide plate 21 is in the third position and the second air guide plate 22 is in the fourth position, the first air vent 151 is open and the second air vent 152 is closed, and the air conditioner is in the first air outlet mode. Figure 2 As shown.

[0105] When the first air guide plate 21 is in the first position and the second air guide plate 22 is in the fifth position, the first air vent 151 is closed and the second air vent 152 is open, and the air conditioner is in the second air outlet mode. Figure 1 As shown.

[0106] When the first air guide plate 21 is in the second position and the second air guide plate 22 is in the fifth position, the first air vent 151 opens and the second air vent 152 opens, and the air conditioner is in the third air outlet mode.

[0107] In other words, the first air guide plate 21 is used to control the opening and closing of the first air vent 151 and the second sub-air vent 1522 (a part of the second air vent 152). The second air guide plate 22 is used to control the opening and closing of the first sub-air vent 1521 (the other part of the second air vent 152). Therefore, the first air guide plate 21 and the second air guide plate 22 jointly control the opening and closing of the second air vent 152. In this way, the widths of the first air vent 151 and the second air vent 152 can be set to different sizes, and the widths of the first air guide plate 21 and the second air guide plate 22 will not be too large, which is beneficial to optimizing the structural layout of the air conditioner and reducing its size.

[0108] In some exemplary embodiments, the first air guide plate 21 has a stepped portion 213 at one end near the water receiving tray 12, such as... Figure 3As shown. Based on the first air guide plate 21 closing the first air outlet 151, a portion of the wall surface of the stepped portion 213 is sealed to the sealing portion 1232 of the water receiving tray 12, and there is a gap between the remaining wall surface of the stepped portion 213 and the transition portion of the water receiving tray 12, as shown. Figure 4 As shown. This helps reduce the risk of condensation at the air outlet 121. The end of the second air guide plate 22 can also be provided with a stepped portion 213, which facilitates the first air guide plate 21 and the second air guide plate 22 to achieve a tight seal through the two stepped portions 213 when closing the second air outlet 152, and the sealed part is not too thick.

[0109] Of course, the first air guide plate 21 and the second air guide plate 22 can also control the opening and closing of the first air outlet 151 and the second air outlet 152 respectively. Alternatively, the air conditioner may have only one air outlet (i.e., the air outlet corresponding to the air outlet space 1211 of the air outlet section 121).
