Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of air conditioner accessories, in particular to an air conditioner indoor unit air guide device. BACKGROUND

[0002] In an air conditioning system, the air conditioner indoor unit includes a shell, an evaporator and a fan are arranged in the shell, and an air outlet is arranged on the side of the shell. An air outlet plate is rotatably arranged in the air outlet, and the air outlet plate can open or close the air outlet. Low-temperature refrigerant from the air conditioner outdoor unit enters the evaporator of the air conditioner indoor unit, and then the fan forms air flowing through the evaporator. After the air exchanges heat with the low-temperature refrigerant in the evaporator, low-temperature air is formed, and the low-temperature air is finally blown into the room from the air outlet of the air conditioner indoor unit.

[0003] The air conditioner indoor unit with the above structure opens the air outlet plate in the air outlet downward, and since the air outlet temperature of the air conditioner is low, condensation water is easily generated on the air outlet plate. The condensation water then drips onto the ground or furniture and electrical appliances on the ground through the downwardly inclined air outlet plate, which easily causes the ground to be slippery and the furniture or electrical appliances to be damaged. SUMMARY

[0004] The present application provides an air conditioner indoor unit air guide device to solve the problem that the air outlet plate at the air outlet of the air conditioner indoor unit generates condensation water which easily drips onto the ground or furniture and electrical appliances on the ground.

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the technical scheme adopted by the present application is as follows: The air conditioner indoor unit air guide device includes a mounting frame (2) with a frame structure. One frame surface of the mounting frame (2) is used as the front surface, and the other frame surface is used as the back surface. The front surface of the mounting frame (2) is connected with an air guide plate (3). The air guide plate (3) extends upward in an arc shape towards the outside of the front surface of the mounting frame (2). The lowest part of the arc shape of the air guide plate (3) is provided with a flow guide hole (303) which penetrates the air guide plate (3) upward and downward. A water collecting box (4) is installed on the bottom surface of the air guide plate (3) corresponding to the position of the flow guide hole (303). The inside of the water collecting box (4) is in communication with the flow guide hole (303).

[0006] Further, two symmetrical sides of the mounting frame (2) are respectively connected with mounting ears (203). Each mounting ear (203) extends towards the outside of the back surface of the mounting frame (2). Each mounting ear (203) is provided with a hanging opening (2031). The mounting frame (2) is hung on the air conditioner indoor unit through the hanging opening (2031) of the mounting ear (203), and the mounting frame (2) is tightly attached to the air outlet of the air conditioner indoor unit.

[0007] Further, a dust filter screen (202) is installed in the mounting frame (2).

[0008] Further, the dust filter screen (202) is inserted and installed in the mounting frame (2).

[0009] Further, the water collecting box (4) is detachably installed at the position corresponding to the air guiding hole (303) on the bottom surface of the air deflector (3).

[0010] Further, the bottom surface of the air deflector (3) is protruded downward at the position corresponding to the air guiding hole (303) to form a protruding part, a strip-shaped slot (302) is arranged on the bottom surface of the protruding part, the lower end of the air guiding hole (303) is arranged on the top of the slot (302), and the water collecting box (4) is inserted into the strip-shaped slot (302), so that the water collecting box (4) is detachably installed at the position corresponding to the air guiding hole (303) on the bottom surface of the air deflector (3), and the water collecting box (4) is communicated with the lower end of the air guiding hole (303).

[0011] Further, the surface of the water collecting box (4) is provided with anti-skid lines (401).

[0012] Further, a plurality of shunt partitions (301) are arranged on the air deflector (3).

[0013] When the air deflector is used, the air outlet plate at the air outlet of the air conditioner indoor unit is removed, the mounting frame in the application is closely attached to the air outlet of the air conditioner indoor unit, and the mounting frame is hung on the air conditioner indoor unit through the hanging opening of the mounting ear.

[0014] When the air conditioner indoor unit blows air, the air blows to the air deflector through the dust filter screen in the mounting frame, and the air blows to the top of the front surface of the mounting frame along the air deflector and enters the room because the air deflector is extended in an arc shape. When condensate is generated, the condensate flows to the air guiding hole at the lowest point of the air deflector along the air deflector, and falls into the water collecting box from the air guiding hole, so that the condensate can be prevented from directly falling on the ground. When the water collecting box is full, the water collecting box can be detached to pour out the accumulated water. The shunt partitions on the air deflector guide the air flow discharged from the air outlet of the air conditioner indoor unit, so that the air force is uniformly dispersed. The strip-shaped anti-skid lines on the surface of the water collecting strip improve the anti-skid property of the water collecting strip and the hand, and facilitate the taking and detaching of the water collecting strip. Compared with the prior art, the application has the following advantages: 1. When condensate is generated, the condensate is guided to the air guiding hole through the arc structure of the air deflector, and the condensate is collected in the water collecting box through the air guiding hole, so that the condensate is prevented from falling on the floor, furniture or electrical appliances. The water collecting strip is designed to be detachable, so that the condensate can be easily taken out.

[0015] 2. The mounting frame is hung on the air conditioner indoor unit through the hanging opening of the mounting ear, so that only the hanging rods need to be installed on both sides of the air conditioner indoor unit. The mounting mode of the hanging rod on the air conditioner indoor unit can be adhesive mode, so that the mounting frame has the advantage of convenient installation, and the position of the mounting frame can be adjusted by adjusting the position of the hanging rod on the air conditioner indoor unit, thereby improving the overall installation convenience of the air deflector.

[0016] 3. The dust filter screen in the mounting frame filters the air flow discharged from the air outlet, and the dust filter screen is installed in the mounting frame through plug-in mode, facilitating later removal and cleaning.

[0017] 4. The shunt partition plate on the air deflector shunts and guides the air flow discharged from the air outlet, so that the wind force is evenly dispersed. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS
