[0015] A plurality of vertical air guide plates are arranged in the shell body in a transversely rotatable manner and are opposite to the second air outlet area in the front-to-back direction, and are used to adjust the flow direction of the air flow blown outward from the air outlet.

[0016] Optionally, the cabinet air conditioner indoor unit further includes:

[0017] A front panel is provided on the front side of the housing, and an air outlet is provided on the front panel;

[0018] A plurality of auxiliary fans are provided on the front panel; and

[0019] A plurality of vertical air guide plates are arranged on the rear side of the front panel.

[0020] Optionally, each fan group includes a plurality of auxiliary fans of equal number.

[0021] Optionally, each auxiliary fan arranged in the first air outlet area corresponds in height to an auxiliary fan arranged in the third air outlet area.

[0022] Optionally, the distances between two adjacent auxiliary fans in each fan group are equal.

[0023] Optionally, the auxiliary fans are arranged to be rotatable laterally, and the plurality of auxiliary fans in each fan group are configured to rotate synchronously.

[0024] Optionally, the plurality of auxiliary fans are configured to operate independently of the supply air blower.

[0025] According to another aspect of the present invention, the present invention provides an air conditioner, which includes any one of the above-mentioned cabinet air conditioner indoor units.

[0026] The cabinet air conditioner indoor unit of the present invention is additionally provided with a plurality of auxiliary fans at the air outlet, which are used to assist in supplying air outward at the corresponding positions of the air outlet, thereby alleviating the uneven air outlet at the air outlet when only relying on the air supply fan to supply air, and making the air outlet of the cabinet air conditioner indoor unit more uniform.

[0027] Furthermore, the indoor unit of the cabinet air conditioner of the present invention divides the air outlet into three areas, and the auxiliary fans are divided into two groups, which are respectively arranged in the first air outlet area and the third air outlet area on the left and right sides, so that the air outlet speed on the left and right sides of the air outlet can be enhanced in a targeted manner, so that the air outlet speed on the left and right sides of the air outlet is close to the air outlet speed in the middle, further improving the air outlet uniformity of the indoor unit of the cabinet air conditioner.

[0028] Furthermore, the auxiliary fan of the indoor unit of the cabinet-type air conditioner of the present invention is neatly arranged on the front panel, so that not only the air output is more uniform but also the appearance is novel.

[0029] Furthermore, the auxiliary fan of the cabinet air conditioner indoor unit of the present invention is rotatable horizontally, thereby adjusting the airflow direction in conjunction with the vertical air guide plate. The auxiliary fan also operates independently of the air supply fan. In other words, by turning the auxiliary fan on and off or adjusting its operating mode, the cabinet air conditioner indoor unit can achieve a more diverse air supply effect.

[0042] Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of a cabinet-type air conditioner indoor unit 20 according to one embodiment of the present invention; Figure 2 yes Figure 1 The shown schematic diagram is a partial enlargement of the indoor unit 20 of the cabinet air conditioner in area A; Figure 3 yes Figure 1 The illustrated schematic cross-sectional view of the indoor unit 20 of the cabinet-type air conditioner is taken along the section line BB.

[0043] refer to Figure 1 、 2 As shown in FIG3 , this embodiment provides a cabinet-type air conditioner indoor unit 20 . The cabinet-type air conditioner indoor unit 20 includes a housing 30 , an air supply fan 22 , and a plurality of auxiliary fans 34 .

[0044] The housing 30 has an air outlet at the front. An air blower 22 is disposed within the housing 30 to generate airflow from the air outlet. A plurality of auxiliary fans 34 are disposed at the air outlet to assist in blowing air outward at corresponding locations of the air outlet.

[0045] The supply fan 22 of the cabinet air conditioner indoor unit 20 is typically a cross-flow fan, and the air outlet of the cabinet air conditioner indoor unit 20 is longitudinally opened on the front side of the housing 30. The cabinet air conditioner indoor unit 20 also has an air supply duct 26 formed within the housing 30, connecting the supply fan 22 and the air outlet from front to back. The air supply duct 26 gradually expands from the supply fan 22 toward the air outlet, thereby ensuring that the airflow generated by the supply fan 22 is relatively uniform when it is blown to the air outlet. However, if the width of the air outlet is significantly greater than the width of the interior of the air supply duct 26, or if the air supply duct 26 is significantly wider at the outlet end compared to the supply fan 22 end, the airflow at the air outlet will be uneven.

[0046] Therefore, in this embodiment, multiple auxiliary fans 34 are provided at the air outlet to assist in the outward air supply at corresponding positions of the air outlet, thereby alleviating the uneven air flow at the air outlet when relying solely on the air supply fan 22, and making the air flow from the cabinet air conditioner indoor unit 20 more uniform. Each auxiliary fan 34 can be provided with a drive motor to provide power.

[0047] In some optional embodiments, the plurality of auxiliary fans 34 are divided into two fan groups. The air outlet has a first air outlet area D1, a second air outlet area D2, and a third air outlet area D3 that are laterally distributed. The second air outlet area D2 is located between the first air outlet area D1 and the third air outlet area D3. The first air outlet area D1 and the third air outlet area D3 are each equipped with a fan group.

[0048] The arrangement of the auxiliary fan 34 in this embodiment can specifically enhance the air outlet speed on the left and right sides of the air outlet, making the air outlet speed on the left and right sides of the air outlet close to the air outlet speed in the middle, further improving the air outlet uniformity of the indoor unit 20 of the cabinet air conditioner.

[0049] refer to Figure 3 As shown, the air outlet is divided into a first air outlet area D1, a second air outlet area D2 and a third air outlet area D3 from left to right, wherein the second air outlet area D2 is located in the center of the air outlet and faces the air supply duct 26, and the first air outlet area D1 and the third air outlet area D3 are located on both sides of the second air outlet area D2 and may not be completely aligned with the air supply duct 26.

[0050] In this embodiment, the air outlet of the cabinet air conditioner indoor unit 20 may not be located at the front end of the air supply duct 26. For example, in some optional embodiments, the cabinet air conditioner indoor unit 20 further includes a front panel 32, which is disposed on the front side of the housing 30, and the air outlet is formed on the front panel 32. In other words, the air outlet is formed on the front panel 32 located at the front side of the front end of the air supply duct 26.

[0051] The width of the front panel 32 is generally similar to the width of the housing 30 of the cabinet air conditioner indoor unit 20. Therefore, the width of the air outlet can be greater than the width of the front end of the air supply duct 26. Based on this, the first air outlet area D1 and the third air outlet area D3 can only partially oppose the air supply duct 26 in the front-to-back direction. It should be noted that the edge of the air supply duct 26 generally refers to the farthest forward end of the air supply duct 26, that is, the air supply duct 26 does not include the area extending laterally at the air outlet.

[0052] The first, second, and third air outlet areas D1, D2, and D3 are defined by the locations of the auxiliary fans 34. The area between the two fan groups, where no auxiliary fans 34 are located, is the second air outlet area D2. The first and third air outlet areas D1 and D3 are located on either side of the second air outlet area D2. If the auxiliary fans 34 of the two fan groups are arranged longitudinally, the second air outlet area D2 is a rectangular area extending longitudinally.

[0053] To ensure uniform airflow, the width of the air outlet of the existing cabinet air conditioner indoor unit 20 is generally consistent with the width of the front end of the air supply duct 26, or the air outlet is located at the front end of the air supply duct 26. In addition, the width of the air supply duct 26 is difficult to increase, resulting in a limited size of the air outlet of the cabinet air conditioner indoor unit 20. The cabinet air conditioner indoor unit 20 of this embodiment is provided with an auxiliary fan 34 on the front panel 32, so that the actual width of the air outlet of the cabinet air conditioner indoor unit 20 is significantly increased compared to the width of the air supply duct 26. Moreover, with the auxiliary air supply of the auxiliary fan 34, the air flow is more evenly distributed in the horizontal direction, thereby making the airflow of the cabinet air conditioner indoor unit 20 more uniform.

[0054] In some optional embodiments, the cabinet air conditioner indoor unit 20 further includes a plurality of vertical air guide plates 24, which are laterally rotatably arranged in the shell 30 and are opposite to the second air outlet area D2 in the front-to-back direction, for adjusting the flow direction of the airflow blown outward from the air outlet.

[0055] The vertical air guide plate 24 is typically positioned at the front end of the air supply duct 26 and behind the front panel 32, thereby being spaced apart and facing the second air outlet area D2. The airflow, redirected by the vertical air guide plate 24, is primarily blown out of the air outlet from the second air outlet area D2, while some airflow may also be blown out of the air outlet from the first air outlet area D1 and the second air outlet area D2.

[0056] In some optional embodiments, a plurality of vertical air guide plates 24 form a group of vertical air guide plates 24 arranged in parallel horizontally, and the upper and lower ends are rotatably fixed to the top wall and bottom wall of the air supply duct 26. In other optional embodiments, the plurality of vertical air guide plates 24 can also be divided into two groups, and the two groups of vertical air guide plates 24 are separated in the upper and lower parts of the middle part of the air supply duct 26, and each group of vertical air guide plates 24 is independently controlled, so that the cabinet air conditioner indoor unit 20 can have different air outlet directions at the upper and lower parts of the air outlet at the same time. For example, the air guide direction of the group of vertical air guide plates 24 located on the lower side can be controlled to be forward, while the air guide direction of the group of vertical air guide plates 24 located on the upper side can be controlled to be oblique to the side, so as to avoid the cabinet air conditioner indoor unit 20 being blown directly at the height of a person's face.

[0057] In some optional embodiments, the vertical air guide plate 24 may be formed with through holes that are evenly distributed on the surface of the vertical air guide plate 24 and penetrate the vertical air guide plate 24 in the thickness direction, so that when the vertical air guide plate 24 is in a position to block the air supply duct 26, the outlet air flow can still pass through the vertical air guide plate 24 from the through holes, and the air flow is broken up when passing through the vertical air guide plate 24, so that the cabinet air conditioner indoor unit 20 has the function of windless air supply.

[0058] In some optional embodiments, the front panel 32 may be formed with longitudinally extending strip grilles, thereby dividing the front panel 32 into a plurality of laterally distributed air outlet grille openings. Auxiliary fans 34 are embedded in the strip grilles formed on the front panel 32, allowing the cabinet air conditioner indoor unit 20 to discharge air from both the second air outlet area D2, which is entirely composed of strip grilles, and the first air outlet area D1 and the third air outlet area D3, where the auxiliary fans 34 are embedded in the strip grilles.

[0059] In some optional embodiments, the strip grilles may have a certain width in the air outlet direction, so that the strip grilles themselves have a certain air guiding effect. It can be understood that on the front panel 32, the closer the strip grilles are to the lateral sides, the greater the angle between the air outlet direction and the front-to-back direction at their location. The width direction of the strip grilles in the center is exactly in the front-to-back direction.

[0060] With the cooperation of the strip grilles, when the vertical air guide plate 24 rotates to a certain direction, the air outlet between the strip grilles in this direction will increase accordingly, while the air outlet between the strip grilles in a direction different from the vertical air guide plate 24 will decrease accordingly, thereby controlling the air outlet direction of the indoor unit 20 of the cabinet air conditioner in a coordinated manner.

[0061] In some alternative embodiments, the front panel 32 does not form a striped grille between two longitudinally adjacent auxiliary fans 34 in the first and third air outlet areas D1 and D3, but instead forms a baffle that prevents air from passing through. In other words, the cabinet air conditioner indoor unit 20 can dissipate air outward through the striped grille formed in the second air outlet area D2 of the front panel 32, but can only dissipate air outward from the locations where the auxiliary fans 34 are embedded in the first and third air outlet areas D1 and D3.

[0062] The cabinet air conditioner indoor unit 20 of this embodiment can only discharge air from the auxiliary fan 34 in the first air outlet area D1 and the third air outlet area D3, thereby enhancing the influence of the auxiliary fan 34 on the air outlet effect, so that the auxiliary fan 34 can more effectively control the air outlet uniformity of the cabinet air conditioner indoor unit 20.

[0063] In particular, in some optional embodiments, the front panel 32 also forms a strip grille at both ends of the lateral outer sides of the two fan groups (or a ventilation hole extending longitudinally and passing through the front panel 32 front and back) so that the auxiliary fans 34 of the first air outlet area D1 and the third air outlet area D3 can simultaneously take in air from the air supply duct 26 and the lateral sides of the air outlet.

[0064] In this embodiment, the auxiliary fan 34 can mix the heat exchange airflow blown out of the air supply duct 26 with the ambient air on both sides of the cabinet air conditioner indoor unit 20 and then blow it forward. It not only has the function of controlling the air outlet uniformity of the cabinet air conditioner indoor unit 20, but also further has an air mixing function, and can reduce the temperature difference between the supply airflow of the cabinet air conditioner indoor unit 20 and the ambient air, making the air supply more comfortable.

[0065] In some optional embodiments, each fan group includes an equal number of auxiliary fans 34. That is, the first air outlet area D1 and the third air outlet area D3 are provided with the same number of auxiliary fans 34.

[0066] In some optional embodiments, on the basis that each fan group includes a plurality of auxiliary fans 34 of equal number, each auxiliary fan 34 arranged in the first air outlet area D1 corresponds in height to an auxiliary fan 34 arranged in the third air outlet area D3.

[0067] The auxiliary fans 34 of the cabinet-type air conditioner indoor unit 20 of this embodiment are arranged in a mirror-symmetrical manner in the first air outlet area D1 and the third air outlet area D3, and thus have the same air supply effect.

[0068] In some optional implementations, on the basis that each fan group includes a plurality of auxiliary fans 34 of equal number, the distances between two adjacent auxiliary fans 34 in each fan group are equal.

[0069] The auxiliary fans 34 of the cabinet air conditioner indoor unit 20 of this embodiment are evenly distributed in the longitudinal direction, so they have the same air supply effect in the longitudinal direction, and will not cause the air flow of the cabinet air conditioner indoor unit 20 to be uneven in the height direction.

[0070] In some optional embodiments, each fan group includes a plurality of auxiliary fans 34 of equal number, and each auxiliary fan 34 arranged in the first air outlet area D1 corresponds in height to an auxiliary fan 34 arranged in the third air outlet area D3, and the distance between two adjacent auxiliary fans 34 in each fan group is equal.

[0071] The auxiliary fans 34 of the cabinet air conditioner indoor unit 20 in the first air outlet area D1 and the third air outlet area D3 of the present embodiment are not only arranged in a mirror-symmetrical manner, but also evenly distributed in the longitudinal direction. Therefore, on the basis of having a better uniform air outlet effect, the appearance of the cabinet air conditioner indoor unit 20 is also made neat and beautiful, thereby providing a cabinet air conditioner indoor unit 20 that not only has an excellent uniform air supply function but also has a novel appearance.

[0072] In some optional embodiments, the auxiliary fans 34 are arranged to be rotatable laterally, and the multiple auxiliary fans 34 in each fan group are configured to rotate synchronously.

[0073] In line with the fact that the vertical air guide plates 24 can rotate laterally to adjust the left-right direction of the outlet airflow, the auxiliary fans 34 of this embodiment can also be arranged to rotate laterally, thereby cooperating with the vertical air guide plates 24 to adjust the left-right direction of the outlet airflow. In some preferred embodiments, the multiple auxiliary fans 34 in each fan group are configured to rotate synchronously, and the two fan groups are independently controlled.

[0074] The auxiliary fans 34 can not only rotate to align with the airflow direction of the vertical air guide plates 24, but can also be adjusted to different directions in other situations to achieve a more diverse airflow effect. For example, if the user requires concentrated airflow, the auxiliary fans 34 of the two fan groups can each rotate to tilt toward the center. That is, the auxiliary fans 34 of the first air outlet area D1 and the third air outlet area D3 can each rotate to tilt toward opposite sides, thereby concentrating the airflow from the air outlet toward the center. If the user requires dispersed airflow, the auxiliary fans 34 of the two fan groups can also each rotate to tilt laterally outward, thereby dispersing the airflow laterally outward.

[0075] Each auxiliary fan 34 can be embedded in the front panel 32 for transverse rotation and secured to the front panel 32 via a rotational shaft located at its upper and / or lower end. A direction-adjusting device connected to the rotational shaft of each auxiliary fan 34 can drive the corresponding auxiliary fan 34 to rotate transversely. Each fan group can also be equipped with a direction-adjusting device longitudinally connected to each auxiliary fan 34 to simultaneously control the synchronous rotation of multiple auxiliary fans 34. The structure of the direction-adjusting device itself is well known to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here.

[0076] In some optional embodiments, the auxiliary fan 34 can be further configured to be longitudinally rotatable on the basis of being laterally rotatable, thereby making the cabinet air conditioner indoor unit 20 more flexible in adjusting the air supply direction.

[0077] In some optional embodiments, the auxiliary fan 34 may also be rotatably arranged, that is, it can be adjusted to supply air in any direction within a certain rotation range, further enhancing the flexibility of adjusting the air supply direction.

[0078] In some optional embodiments, the plurality of auxiliary fans 34 are configured to operate independently of the supply blower 22 .

[0079] The auxiliary fan 34 can be independent of the air supply fan 22 in terms of speed and start and stop. That is, when the indoor unit 20 of the cabinet air conditioner is working and the air supply fan 22 continues to rotate, the auxiliary fan 34 can either rotate to work or not rotate to standby, and the speed can also be adjusted.

[0080] For example, if the user requires the air outlet of the cabinet air conditioner indoor unit 20 to be blown over a large area, the auxiliary fan 34 can adjust its own speed according to the speed of the air supply fan 22 to ensure that the cabinet air conditioner indoor unit 20 can blow air over a large area and the air is discharged more evenly. If the user requires air to be delivered over a long distance, the auxiliary fan 34 can be stopped or reversed to concentrate the air flow from the second air outlet area D2 outward, thereby increasing the wind speed and improving the air supply distance.

[0081] In some optional embodiments, the front panel 32 is further provided with multiple sliding baffles, each of which is configured to slide to a first position that blocks at least a portion of the air outlet corresponding to an auxiliary fan 34, and a second position that does not block the air outlet corresponding to the auxiliary fan 34. Multiple sliding baffles can be coordinated to slide to block the air outlet corresponding to the same auxiliary fan 34. By blocking the air outlet corresponding to the auxiliary fan 34, the airflow can be further concentrated in the second air outlet area D2, thereby improving the long-distance air delivery effect.

[0082] Figure 4 is a schematic block diagram of an air conditioner 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0083] refer to Figure 4 As shown, the present invention further provides an air conditioner 10, which includes any one of the above-mentioned cabinet air conditioner indoor units 20.

[0084] At this point, those skilled in the art will recognize that, although a number of exemplary embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described in detail herein, many other variations or modifications consistent with the principles of the present invention may be directly determined or derived from the disclosure of the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of the present invention should be understood and deemed to cover all such other variations or modifications.
