[0045] The following describes embodiments of the present invention in detail, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to be used to explain the present invention, and are not to be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0046] The following disclosure provides numerous different embodiments or examples for implementing various structures of the invention. To simplify the disclosure, specific examples of components and arrangements are described below. These are merely examples and are not intended to limit the invention. Furthermore, reference numerals and / or letters may be repeated in different examples. Such repetition is for simplification and clarity and does not in itself indicate a relationship between the various embodiments and / or arrangements discussed. Additionally, examples of various specific processes and materials are provided in this invention; however, those skilled in the art will recognize the applicability of other processes and / or the use of other materials.

[0047] The air conditioner 100 of the present invention is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0048] An air conditioner 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 1-Figure 3As shown, the air conditioner 100 includes an air conditioner body 10 and a lower air outlet control component 20. The air conditioner body 10 has a main air duct 11 and a fresh air duct 12. The air conditioner body 10 has a main air outlet 1a and a lower air outlet 1b. The main air outlet 1a is connected to the main air duct 11, and the lower air outlet 1b is lower than the main air outlet 1a. The lower air outlet control component 20 is disposed in the air conditioner body 10 and is used to control the connection state between the main air duct 11 and the lower air outlet 1b, as well as the connection state between the fresh air duct 12 and the lower air outlet 1b.

[0049] The air conditioner body 10 has a main air duct 11 and a fresh air duct 12. The main air duct 11 delivers heat exchange airflow to the room and regulates the indoor temperature, while the fresh air duct 12 delivers fresh air to the room, improves indoor air quality, and increases fresh air while removing stale air.

[0050] The air conditioner body 10 has a main air outlet 1a and a lower air outlet 1b. The lower air outlet 1b is set lower than the main air outlet 1a. The air conditioner 100 can deliver airflow not only from the main air outlet 1a, but also from the lower air outlet 1b, thereby increasing the air delivery range of the air conditioner 100 in the vertical direction and improving the air delivery effect.

[0051] The main air outlet 1a is connected to the main air duct 11, while the lower air outlet 1b can be selectively connected to the main air duct 11 and the fresh air duct 12, so that the air conditioner 100 can achieve multi-mode air supply to meet the needs of different scenarios.

[0052] Optionally, the lower air outlet control component 20 controls the connection state between the main air duct 11 and the lower air outlet 1b, and this control can be independent of the control of the connection state between the fresh air duct 12 and the lower air outlet 1b. For example, two valves can be used to control the opening and closing of the fresh air duct 12 and the main air duct 11 with the lower air outlet 1b, respectively. The lower air outlet 1b opens and closes independently of the main air duct 11, and simultaneously opens and closes independently of the fresh air duct 12. In this case, the lower air outlet 1b can be connected to the main air duct 11 alone, or to the fresh air duct 12 alone, or simultaneously connected to both the main air duct 11 and the fresh air duct 12.

[0053] Optionally, the lower air outlet control component 20 controls the connection state between the main air duct 11 and the lower air outlet 1b, and this control can be interconnected with the control of the connection state between the fresh air duct 12 and the lower air outlet 1b. For example, a valve can be used to control the connection between one of the main air duct 11 and the fresh air duct 12 and the lower air outlet 1b. When the lower air outlet 1b is connected to the main air duct 11, it is isolated from the fresh air duct 12; when the lower air outlet 1b is connected to the fresh air duct 12, it is isolated from the main air duct 11.

[0054] The connection status of the main air duct 11 and the lower air outlet 1b controlled by the lower air outlet control component 20, and the connection status of the fresh air duct 12 and the lower air outlet 1b controlled by it, can be selected as independent control or interconnected control according to actual needs.

[0055] The following is a brief description of several air supply modes of the air conditioner 100 according to some embodiments of the present invention.

[0056] For example, the lower air outlet 1b is only connected to the main air duct 11. Both the main air outlet 1a and the lower air outlet 1b deliver heat exchange airflow into the room. Compared to delivering air only through the main air outlet 1a, this increases the flow rate of heat exchange air delivered downwards by the air conditioner 100. When delivering hot air, the hot air can be delivered to the user's feet to warm them and improve the body's steady-state thermal comfort.

[0057] For example, the lower air outlet 1b is only connected to the fresh air duct 12, the main air duct 11 does not work, and the lower air outlet 1b delivers fresh air to the room, which can refresh the indoor air and add stale air removal.

[0058] For example, the lower air outlet 1b is only connected to the fresh air duct 12. The lower air outlet 1b delivers fresh air to the room, and the main air outlet 1a delivers heat exchange airflow to the room, which can improve indoor air quality while regulating indoor temperature.

[0059] For example, while the lower air outlet 1b is connected to the fresh air duct 12, it is also connected to the main air duct 11. The lower air outlet 1b delivers a mixture of fresh air and heat exchange airflow into the room, and the main air outlet 1a delivers heat exchange airflow into the room. This can improve indoor air quality while regulating indoor temperature.

[0060] The air conditioner 100 of this embodiment of the invention, by providing a lower air outlet 1b and a lower air outlet control component 20, allows the lower air outlet 1b to be switched to connect with both the main air duct 11 and the fresh air duct 12. The lower air outlet 1b can deliver both heat exchange airflow and fresh air. The lower air outlet 1b works in conjunction with the main air outlet 1a to supply air. One lower air outlet 1b can meet the air supply needs of both the main air duct 11 and the fresh air duct 12, eliminating the need to provide corresponding air outlets for each duct. This reduces the number of air outlets in the air conditioner 100, simplifies its structure, and lowers its manufacturing difficulty.

[0061] In some embodiments of the present invention, the lower air outlet control component 20 can switch between a first state and a second state, such as... Figure 3 As shown, in the first state, the lower air outlet control component 20 blocks the lower air outlet 1b from the main air duct 11, and connects the lower air outlet 1b to the fresh air duct 12, as shown. Figure 2As shown, in the second state, the lower air outlet control component 20 blocks the lower air outlet 1b from the fresh air duct 12 and connects the lower air outlet 1b to the main air duct 11.

[0062] The lower air outlet control component 20 controls the connection state between the main air duct 11 and the lower air outlet 1b. This control is interconnected with the control of the connection state between the fresh air duct 12 and the lower air outlet 1b. When the lower air outlet control component 20 connects the lower air outlet 1b to the main air duct 11, the lower air outlet 1b is isolated from the fresh air duct 12; conversely, when the lower air outlet control component 20 connects the lower air outlet 1b to the fresh air duct 12, the lower air outlet 1b is isolated from the main air duct 11. The control logic of the lower air outlet control component 20 is relatively simple, which improves its operational reliability.

[0063] In the first state, the lower air outlet control component 20, such as Figure 3 As shown, the lower air outlet 1b is connected to the fresh air duct 12, so that the fresh air in the fresh air duct 12 can flow to the lower air outlet 1b, and the lower air outlet 1b delivers fresh air to the room to improve the indoor air quality.

[0064] Optionally, such as Figure 3 As shown, the main air duct 11 is operational, and the lower air outlet 1b supplies fresh air into the room. The dotted arrows in the diagram indicate the direction of airflow. The main air outlet 1a supplies heat-exchanging airflow into the room, which can improve indoor air quality while regulating indoor temperature. Alternatively, as... Figure 4 As shown, the main air duct 11 is not in operation, the lower air outlet 1b supplies fresh air to the room, and the main air outlet 1a does not supply air. The dotted lines with arrows in the diagram indicate the direction of airflow. The air conditioner 100 can supply fresh air independently to regulate indoor air quality.

[0065] In the second state, the lower air outlet control component 20, such as Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the dotted lines with arrows indicate the direction of airflow. The lower air outlet 1b is connected to the main air duct 11. The heat exchange airflow in the main air duct 11 flows to the lower air outlet 1b. Both the main air outlet 1a and the lower air outlet 1b deliver heat exchange airflow into the room. Compared with airflow delivered only through the main air outlet 1a, the flow rate of heat exchange air delivered downward by the air conditioner 100 can be increased.

[0066] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 5 As shown, the lower air outlet control component 20 includes a drive unit 3 and an air duct valve 4, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the drive device 3 drives the air duct valve 4 to move between the first position of blocking the air outlet 1b and the main air duct 11, and the second position of blocking the air outlet 1b and the fresh air duct 12. When the air duct valve 4 moves to the first position, the air outlet control component 20 is in the first state, and when the air duct valve 4 moves to the second position, the air outlet control component 20 is in the second state.

[0067] The switching of air outlet 1b can be achieved by setting only a single air duct valve 4. The structure of the lower air outlet control component 20 is simple, which facilitates the arrangement of the lower air outlet control component 20 and saves manufacturing costs.

[0068] The air duct valve 4 moves between a first position and a second position. Optionally, the air duct valve 4 can rotate between the first position and the second position, or move along a predetermined trajectory. The movement mode of the air duct valve 4 can be selected according to actual needs.

[0069] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the air conditioner body 10 includes a connecting ventilation duct 13 connected to the lower air outlet 1b. The connecting ventilation duct 13 is connected to the main air duct 11 and to the fresh air duct 12. When the duct valve 4 moves to the first position, the lower air outlet control component 20 blocks the connecting ventilation duct 13 and the main air duct 11, and connects the connecting ventilation duct 13 and the fresh air duct 12. When the duct valve 4 moves to the second position, the lower air outlet control component 20 blocks the connecting ventilation duct 13 and the fresh air duct 12, and connects the connecting ventilation duct 13 and the main air duct 11.

[0070] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 5 As shown, the air duct valve 4 is a rotary valve 41, and the driving device 3 includes a drive motor 31, which drives the rotary valve 41 to rotate between a first position and a second position.

[0071] The drive motor 31 provides power for the rotation of the rotary valve 41. The rotary valve 41 rotates between the first position and the second position. The rotation of the air duct valve 4 has a simple motion pattern and strong working reliability.

[0072] In some embodiments of the present invention, the rotary valve 41 is rotatably disposed within the connecting ventilation duct 13. When the rotary valve 41 is in the first position and the second position, it is located within the connecting ventilation duct 13. The rotation of the rotary valve 41 is not interfered with by other components within the air conditioning body 10, which can improve the working reliability of the rotary valve 41.

[0073] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the rotary valve 41 has a connecting part 411 and a rotating part 412 at its two ends along the extension direction of the rotation axis. Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the drive device 3 includes a mounting base 32, which includes a base body 32a and a first end 32b and a second end 32c located at both ends of the base body 32a. The drive motor 31 is mounted on the first end 32b and connected to the coupling part 411, and the rotating part 412 is rotatably supported on the second end 32c.

[0074] Mounting base 32 serves for mounting and support. Both drive motor 31 and rotary valve 41 are mounted on mounting base 32, which is mounted on the air conditioner body 10. Rotary valve 41 is rotatably connected to mounting base 32. Rotary valve 41 rotates about the line connecting shaft 411 and rotating part 412 as its axis of rotation. Shaft 411 engages with first end 32b, and rotating part 412 engages with second end 32c. Drive motor 31 is located at first end 32b and connected to shaft 411. Drive motor 31 drives rotary valve 41 to rotate. Rotating part 412 at the other end of the length direction of rotary valve 41 is rotatably engaged with second end 32c, allowing rotary valve 41 to be rotatably connected to mounting base 32.

[0075] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 8 As shown, the rotary valve 41 includes a heat insulation element 413 and a support element 414 that carries the heat insulation element 413. When the duct valve 4 is in the first position, the heat insulation element 413 blocks the connecting duct 13 and the main duct 11, and the heat insulation element 413 seals and isolates the connecting duct 13 and the main duct 11.

[0076] The support member 414 serves as a support, the heat insulation member 413 is provided on the support member 414, the connecting part 411 and the rotating part 412 are both formed on the support member 414, and the drive motor 31 drives the support member 414 to rotate.

[0077] The heat insulation component 413 serves two purposes. Firstly, when the duct valve 4 is in its first position, it isolates the main air duct 11 from the connecting air duct 13. The main air duct 11 transports heat-exchanging airflow, and a temperature difference inevitably exists between the connecting air duct 13 and the main air duct 11. By installing the heat insulation component 413, the heat exchange between the main air duct 11 and the connecting air duct 13 is reduced, thereby minimizing the condensation of warmer air in these ducts. Secondly, the heat insulation component 413 reduces condensation on the rotating valve 41, improving the accumulation of condensation on the rotating valve 41 and preventing it from dripping into the air conditioning unit 10, thus enhancing the operational stability of the air conditioner 100.

[0078] On the other hand, the heat insulation component 413 can also play a sealing role. When the air duct valve 4 is in the first position, the heat insulation component 413 seals and isolates the connecting air duct 13 and the main air duct 11, which can improve the situation of heat exchange airflow in the main air duct 11 escaping into the fresh air duct 12 and help increase the heat exchange air volume of the air conditioner 100.

[0079] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 7 As shown, the rotating part 412 is a rotating shaft 4120, as... Figure 9 As shown, the second end 32c has a shaft hole 325, and the rotating shaft 4120 is rotatably supported in the shaft hole 325. Figure 10 As shown, the outer circumferential surface of the rotating shaft 4120 has an oil groove 4121 extending axially along the rotating shaft 4120. There are multiple oil grooves 4121 and they are spaced apart circumferentially along the rotating shaft 4120.

[0080] The rotating shaft 4120 and the connecting shaft 411 are coaxially arranged to improve the rotational stability of the rotating valve 41.

[0081] By providing oil grooves 4121, lubricating oil can be stored within them. The lubricating oil filling the space between the rotating shaft 4120 and the shaft hole 325 reduces friction between them, improves the rotational stability of the shaft 4120, and enhances the operational reliability of the rotary valve 41. Furthermore, the oil grooves 4121 are arranged in multiple intervals along the circumference of the rotating shaft 4120, ensuring that the circumferential surface of the shaft 4120 is evenly covered with lubricating oil, further reducing friction between the shaft 4120 and the shaft hole 325.

[0082] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 11 As shown, the first end 32b defines a receiving groove 323, such as Figure 12 As shown, the side of the receiving groove 323 away from the second end 32c is formed as a slot 3231, and the side of the receiving groove 323 near the second end 32c has a partition wall 3232. A clearance hole 3233 is formed on the partition wall 3232. The drive motor 31 is adapted to be installed into the receiving groove 323 through the slot 3231. The output shaft of the drive motor 31 passes through the clearance hole 3233 and is connected to the coupling part 411.

[0083] The drive motor 31 is mounted in the receiving groove 323, which provides support and protection for the drive motor 31. The motor shaft of the drive motor 31 passes through the clearance hole 3233 and is connected to the connecting shaft part 411. Rotation of the motor shaft drives the rotary valve 41 to rotate. The diameter of the clearance hole 3233 is larger than the diameter of the motor shaft to avoid interfering with the rotation of the motor shaft.

[0084] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 12As shown, a motor mounting hole is provided on the partition 3232, and fasteners pass through the motor mounting hole to fix the drive motor 31 to the partition 3232.

[0085] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 13 As shown, the air conditioner body 10 includes an air outlet frame 14 with a through hole 141. The seat body 32a is located on the rear side of the air outlet frame 14 and is installed on the air outlet frame 14. The rotating valve 41 extends to the front side of the air outlet frame 14 through the through hole 141, and the first end 32b is located on the rear side of the air outlet frame 14.

[0086] When the rotary valve 41 is in the first and second positions, it is located on the front side of the air outlet frame 14. The heat exchange airflow from the main air duct 11 to the lower air outlet 1b flows from the front side of the air outlet frame 14, and the fresh air from the fresh air duct 12 to the lower air outlet 1b also flows from the front side of the air outlet frame 14. Therefore, by installing the base body 32a on the rear side of the air outlet frame 14 and extending the rotary valve 41 through the through hole 141 to the front side of the air outlet frame 14, the base body 32a will not interfere with the airflow, thereby reducing the air resistance to the lower air outlet 1b and improving the airflow flow.

[0087] In some embodiments of the present application, Figure 16 As shown, the air conditioner body 10 includes an air outlet frame 14 and a front frame 15. The front frame 15 is located on the front side of the air outlet frame 14, and the rotary valve 41 is rotatably located between the air outlet frame 14 and the front frame 15.

[0088] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 13 and Figure 14 As shown, the rear side of the air outlet frame 14 has a surrounding plate 142 that cooperates with the first end 32b to close the slot 3231. After the mounting base 32 is installed on the air outlet frame 14, the surrounding plate 142 closes the slot 3231 of the receiving groove 323, isolating the receiving groove 323 from the outside, thereby protecting the drive motor 31 located in the receiving groove 323, preventing external water, dust and other pollutants from entering the receiving groove 323, reducing the generation of condensation on the drive motor 31, and improving the working reliability and safety of the drive motor 31.

[0089] In some examples of the present invention, such as Figure 13 and Figure 14 As shown, the air outlet frame 14 is provided with a support rib 1421 connected to the enclosure 142. The support rib 1421 is intersecting with the enclosure 142, which can improve the structural strength of the enclosure 142, improve the situation where the enclosure 142 is separated from the first end 32b due to impact and shaking, and improve the working reliability of the enclosure 142 and the first end 32b.

[0090] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown, the first end 32b has a cable outlet groove 324 communicating with the slot opening 3231. The cable outlet groove 324 includes multiple groove segments 3241 arranged sequentially along the extending direction and with different extending directions. Figure 13 and Figure 14 As shown, the air outlet frame 14 has a cable clip 143.

[0091] The wires of the drive motor 31 extend from the outlet groove 324 into the receiving groove 323. The outlet groove 324 includes multiple groove segments 3241 extending in different directions. The outlet groove 324 also serves to limit the wires, reducing the occurrence of the wires shaking inside the air conditioner body 10 when subjected to impact, and improving the neatness of the wire routing. A wire clamp 143 is provided on the air outlet frame 14. After the wires extend from the outlet groove 324 into the receiving groove 323, they are limited by the wire clamp 143, further improving the neatness of the wire routing and enhancing the working stability of the drive motor 31.

[0092] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown, the cable outlet 324 includes two segments 3241. The first segment 3241 extends to the slot opening 3231 and is connected to the slot opening 3231. The extension direction of the second segment 3241 is orthogonal to the extension direction of the first segment 3241. The two segments 3241 form an L-shape.

[0093] When the drive motor 31 is installed into the receiving slot 323, the wire enters the first slot segment 3241 through the slot opening 3231, and enters the tail of the second slot segment 3241 along the extension direction of the slot segment 3241. The slot segment 3241 limits the wire, improves the regularity of the wire, and prevents the wire from being detached due to impact.

[0094] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 11 and Figure 14 As shown, the air conditioner body 10 includes an air outlet frame 14 for supporting the mounting base 32. The mounting base 32a has a snap-fit ​​part 321, and the air outlet frame 14 has a snap-fit ​​structure 144 that cooperates with the snap-fit ​​part 321.

[0095] The mounting base 32 and the air outlet frame 14 are snapped together, which can reduce the difficulty of disassembling and assembling the mounting base 32 and improve the assembly efficiency of the mounting base 32.

[0096] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 13 As shown, the snap-fit ​​structure 144 includes a resilient snap fastener 1441, such as... Figure 11 As shown, a snap-fit ​​hole 3211 is formed on the snap-fit ​​part 321, such as Figure 14 As shown, the spring clip of the elastic buckle 1441 passes through the buckle hole 3211 to engage with the buckle part 321.

[0097] The elastic buckle 1441 can undergo elastic deformation, and the free end of the elastic buckle 1441 forms a spring buckle. When the spring buckle moves along the locking hole 3211, the elastic buckle 1441 undergoes elastic deformation to avoid relative movement of the locking part 321. After the spring buckle passes through the locking hole 3211, the elastic buckle 1441 returns to its original shape and engages with the locking part 321 to assemble the mounting base 32 onto the air outlet frame 14.

[0098] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 13 As shown, the snap-fit ​​structure 144 also includes guide posts 1442, which are spaced apart from the elastic buckle 1441, and the spacing direction is orthogonal to the deformation direction of the elastic buckle 1441. Figure 14 As shown, the guide post 1442 and the elastic buckle 1441 are inserted through the same buckle hole 3211.

[0099] The guide post 1442 can serve as a guide. The length of the guide post 1442 extends along the installation direction of the snap-fit ​​part 321. The guide post 1442 guides the snap-fit ​​part 321 to move relative to the elastic buckle 1441, which can improve the assembly efficiency of the mounting base 32.

[0100] The guide post 1442 and the elastic buckle 1441 are spaced apart. After the mounting base 32 and the air outlet frame 14 are snapped together, the guide post 1442 and the elastic buckle 1441 pass through the same buckle hole 3211. The guide post 1442 and the elastic buckle 1441 can also limit the mounting base 32 and reduce the shaking of the mounting base 32 relative to the air outlet frame 14.

[0101] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 11 and Figure 14 As shown, the seat body 32a has a connecting part 322, which is fixedly connected to the air outlet frame 14 by a threaded connector.

[0102] By fixing the mounting base 32 and the air outlet frame 14 together with threaded fasteners, the installation stability of the mounting base 32 can be improved, and the working reliability of the lower air outlet control component 20 can be improved.

[0103] The assembly of the mounting base 32 and the air outlet frame 14 begins with the snap-fitting of the snap-fitting part 321 and the snap-fitting structure 144, initially connecting the mounting base 32 and the air outlet frame 14. While the snap-fitting part 321 and the snap-fitting structure 144 are engaged, the guide post 1442 and the snap-fitting structure 144 work together to position the mounting base 32 relative to the air outlet frame 14, reducing the wobbling of the mounting base 32 relative to the air outlet frame 14. Finally, the mounting base 32 and the air outlet frame 14 are fixedly connected by threaded fasteners, ensuring a stable fit. The snap-fitting and positioning before the threaded fasteners are used improve the assembly efficiency of the threaded fasteners.

[0104] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 13 and Figure 14 As shown, the air outlet frame 14 is provided with a threaded hole mounting post 145, the threaded hole mounting post 145 is provided with a threaded hole, the mounting base 32 is provided with a mounting hole, and the threaded fastener passes through the mounting hole and engages with the threaded hole to fix the mounting base 32 and the air outlet frame 14 together.

[0105] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 11 As shown, the snap-fit ​​portion 321 and the connecting portion 322 are respectively located on both sides of the width of the base body 32a. There are multiple snap-fit ​​portions 321 and they are spaced apart along the length direction of the base body 32a. There are multiple connecting portions 322 and they are spaced apart along the length direction of the base body 32a.

[0106] By providing multiple snap-fit ​​parts 321 and connecting parts 322, the connection stability between the mounting base 32 and the air outlet frame 14 can be further improved. The snap-fit ​​parts 321 and connecting parts 322 are respectively located on both sides of the width of the base body 32a, which improves the installation stability of the mounting base 32 in the width direction of the base body 32a and can also position the mounting base 32, reducing its rotation relative to the base body 32a. The multiple snap-fit ​​parts 321 and the multiple connecting parts 322 are spaced apart along the length direction of the base body 32a, which improves the installation stability of the mounting base 32 in the length direction of the base body 32a and reduces its rotation relative to the base body 32a. Furthermore, the mutual cooperation of the multiple snap-fit ​​parts 321 and the multiple connecting parts 322 further enhances the installation stability of the mounting base 32.

[0107] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 14 As shown, there are two snap-fit ​​parts 321, which are spaced apart along the length of the base body 32a. There are also two connecting parts 322, which are spaced apart along the length of the base body 32a.

[0108] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 15 As shown, the air conditioner body 10 includes a front panel 17, a lower air outlet 1b located below the front panel 17, and a main air outlet 1a including side air outlets 1a1 respectively located on the left and right sides of the front panel 17. The air conditioner body 10 includes a cross-flow fan 18 extending vertically along its axis, the outlet of which is connected to the main air duct 11. The main air duct 11 includes air outlet sections extending to the left and right sides to connect with the two side air outlets 1a1 respectively.

[0109] The two side air outlets 1a1 are located on the left and right sides of the front panel 17, which can increase the air supply range of the air conditioner 100 in the horizontal direction and improve the air supply effect.

[0110] The air outlet of the cross-flow duct is connected to the main air duct 11. Both the cross-flow duct and the main air duct 11 extend vertically. Therefore, the cross-flow duct delivers air to the left and right side air outlets 1a1 in a horizontal direction, which is the maximum air outlet mode of the air conditioner 100.

[0111] When the main air duct 11 is connected only to the main air outlet 1a, the air conditioner 100 delivers air at its maximum air volume, resulting in faster heat exchange between the air conditioner 100 and the room. When the main air duct 11 is connected to both the main air outlet 1a and the lower air outlet 1b, the air volume delivered downwards by the air conditioner 100 increases, reducing the amount of air blowing directly onto the user, lessening the direct blowing sensation, and improving the air delivery effect of the air conditioner 100.

[0112] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 4 As shown, the fresh air duct 12 includes a forward-extending front air outlet section 121 and a rear air outlet section 122, and the fresh air duct 12 is connected to the lower air outlet 1b through the front air outlet section 121.

[0113] like Figures 2-4 As shown, the fresh air duct 12 also forms a fresh air outlet 1c at the rear of the air conditioner body 10, and the rear air outlet section 122 is connected to the fresh air outlet. By setting the fresh air outlet 1c, the air supply modes of the air conditioner 100 can be increased to meet the needs of different scenarios.

[0114] The following is for reference. Figures 2-4 Here is a brief description of several air supply modes of an air conditioner 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0115] like Figure 2 As shown, the lower air outlet 1b is connected to the main air duct 11, while the fresh air duct 12 is only connected to the fresh air outlet 1c. The heat exchange airflow generated by the air conditioner 100 can flow through the main air duct 11 to the lower air outlet 1b. Both the lower air outlet 1b and the main air outlet 1a deliver heat exchange airflow into the room, while the fresh air outlet 1c delivers fresh air into the room. The dotted lines with arrows in the diagram indicate the direction of airflow. This system can improve indoor air quality while regulating indoor temperature, making the indoor air fresher.

[0116] like Figure 3 As shown, the lower air outlet 1b is connected to the fresh air duct 12. The lower air outlet 1b and the fresh air outlet 1c together supply fresh air into the room, while the main air outlet 1a supplies heat exchange airflow into the room. The dotted lines with arrows in the figure indicate the direction of airflow. This can improve indoor air quality while regulating indoor temperature, making the indoor air fresher.

[0117] It is worth noting that the air conditioner is 100... Figure 2 When the air supply mode is shown and as shown Figure 3The air supply modes shown all involve simultaneously regulating the indoor temperature and supplying fresh air to improve indoor air quality. However, air conditioner 100 also has... Figure 2 When the air supply mode shown is used, the amount of fresh air delivered to the room is relatively small, and the air conditioner 100 has a larger heat exchange airflow range in the vertical direction, while the air conditioner 100 has a larger range in the adjacent direction. Figure 3 When the air supply is in the mode shown, a larger volume of fresh air is delivered into the room, thus the air supply effect produced by the air conditioner 100 is different.

[0118] like Figure 4 As shown, the lower air outlet 1b is connected to the fresh air duct 12, the main air duct 11 is not working, and the lower air outlet 1b and the fresh air outlet 1c jointly supply fresh air to the room, while the main air outlet 1a does not supply air. The dotted lines with arrows in the figure indicate the direction of airflow. The air conditioner 100 supplies fresh air independently to regulate indoor air quality.

[0119] By placing the lower air outlet 1b on the front of the air conditioner body 10 and the fresh air outlet 1c on the rear of the air conditioner body 10, the fresh air delivery range is increased, and indoor air circulation is accelerated. Furthermore, the lower air outlet 1b directly delivers fresh air to the front of the air conditioner 100, allowing the fresh air to be directly directed towards the user, quickly improving air quality near the user and enhancing the fresh air delivery effect.

[0120] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 17 As shown, the air conditioner body 10 also has an upper air outlet 1d that is higher than the front panel 17, and the upper air outlet 1d is adapted to be connected to the main air duct 11.

[0121] By setting the upper air outlet 1d, the vertical air supply range of the air conditioner 100 can be increased, improving the air supply effect. When the air conditioner 100 is cooling, both the main air outlet 1a and the upper air outlet 1d supply cold air to the room. The cold air naturally sinks from top to bottom, improving the cooling effect. Furthermore, when the main air duct 11 is connected to both the main air outlet 1a and the upper air outlet 1d, the amount of air supplied upwards by the air conditioner 100 increases, while the amount supplied from the main air outlet 1a decreases. This can improve the situation where cold air blows directly onto people, further enhancing the air supply effect of the air conditioner 100.

[0122] In some embodiments of the invention, the air conditioner 100 further includes an upper air outlet control component, which is used to control the opening and closing of the upper air outlet 1d, or to switch the on / off state of the main air duct 11 and the upper air outlet 1d.

[0123] The upper air outlet 1d can be selectively connected to the main air duct 11, thereby adjusting the air supply position of the air conditioner 100 in accordance with the air supply mode of the air conditioner 100 and improving the air supply effect of the air conditioner 100. The upper air outlet control component controls the opening and closing of the upper air outlet 1d, which can also block dust and other pollutants from entering the air conditioner 100, improving the cleanliness of the air conditioner 100.

[0124] In some embodiments of the present invention, the air conditioner body 10 further includes an upper air outlet 1d, which can be selectively connected to the main air duct 11. By providing an upper air outlet 1d and a lower air outlet 1b that can be selectively connected to the main air duct 11, the air conditioner 100 can achieve multi-mode air supply to meet the needs of different scenarios.

[0125] Optionally, the lower air outlet 1b is only connected to the fresh air duct 12, supplying fresh air into the room. The upper air outlet 1d is connected to the main air duct 11, and both the upper air outlet 1d and the main air outlet 1a supply heat exchange air into the room. The supply of heat exchange air into the room by the upper air outlet 1d and the main air outlet 1a can improve the situation where the heat exchange air blows directly onto the user's body. At the same time, the supply of fresh air into the room by the lower air outlet 1b avoids the core area of ​​the human body. This can improve indoor air quality while regulating indoor temperature, and can also reduce the impact of airflow blowing directly onto the human body, thus improving the air supply effect.

[0126] In other embodiments of the present invention, the air conditioner body 10 further includes an upper air outlet 1d and a fresh air outlet 1c. The upper air outlet 1d can be selectively connected to the main air duct 11, and the fresh air duct 12 is connected to the fresh air outlet 1c. By providing an upper air outlet 1d and a lower air outlet 1b that can be selectively connected to the main air duct 11, the air conditioner 100 can achieve multi-mode air supply to meet the needs of different scenarios.

[0127] Optionally, the lower air outlet 1b is only connected to the fresh air duct 12. Both the lower air outlet 1b and the fresh air outlet 1c supply fresh air to the room. The upper air outlet 1d is connected to the main air duct 11. Both the upper air outlet 1d and the main air outlet 1a supply heat exchange air to the room. The upper air outlet 1d and the main air outlet 1a supply heat exchange air to the room, which can improve the situation where the heat exchange air blows directly on the user's body. The lower air outlet 1b and the fresh air outlet 1c supply fresh air to the room, which also avoids the core area of ​​the human body. This can improve indoor air quality while regulating indoor temperature, and can also reduce the impact of airflow blowing directly on the human body, thus improving the air supply effect.

[0128] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 4 and Figure 16 As shown, the air conditioner body 10 includes a fresh air component 16, which is used to deliver outdoor fresh air to the room, and the fresh air component 16 defines a fresh air duct 12.

[0129] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 4 As shown, the fresh air component 16 includes a filter 161, a fresh air impeller 162, and a fresh air motor 163. The fresh air component 16 has a fresh air inlet 1e, located at the rear of the air conditioning unit 10. The filter 161 is positioned close to the fresh air inlet 1e relative to the fresh air impeller 162 and the fresh air motor. Outdoor fresh air flows into the fresh air component 16 from the fresh air inlet 1e. The filter 161 filters out dust and other pollutants from the outdoor fresh air, making the fresh air delivered indoors cleaner. The fresh air motor 163 drives the fresh air impeller 162 to rotate, guiding outdoor fresh air into the fresh air duct 12.
