[0024] The application will be described in detail below. Figures 1-8 The application will be described in detail below.

[0025] The application provides an air outlet mechanism, an indoor unit, an air conditioner and a control method, which can expand the air supply range, improve air supply uniformity, improve user experience, improve user comfort and improve air conditioner performance. The elastic shell 100; The air deflector structure 200 is arranged on the elastic shell 100. The driving structure 300 is connected with the air deflector structure 200 and is used to drive the air deflector structure 200 to rotate around the rotation center or to drive the air deflector structure 200 to move back and forth, so that the elastic shell 100 can contract or expand when the air deflector structure 200 rotates or moves back and forth.

[0026] The air outlet mechanism provided by the application comprises an elastic shell 100, an air deflector structure 200 and a driving structure 300, the air deflector structure 200 is arranged on the elastic shell 100, and the driving structure 300 is connected with the air deflector structure 200 and is used to drive the air deflector structure 200 to rotate around the rotation center or to drive the air deflector structure 200 to move back and forth, so that the elastic shell 100 can contract or expand when the air deflector structure 200 rotates or moves back and forth, thereby realizing position adjustment of the air deflector structure 200, increasing the air supply angle and / or the air supply direction of the air deflector structure 200, realizing multi-direction, multi-angle and free-angle air deflection, expanding the air supply range, improving air supply uniformity, improving user experience, improving user comfort and improving air conditioner performance.

[0027] The air outlet mechanism provided by the application comprises an elastic shell 100, an air deflector structure 200 and a driving structure 300, the air deflector structure 200 is arranged on the elastic shell 100, and the driving structure 300 is connected with the air deflector structure 200 and is used to drive the air deflector structure 200 to rotate around the rotation center or to drive the air deflector structure 200 to move back and forth, so that the elastic shell 100 can contract or expand when the air deflector structure 200 rotates or moves back and forth, thereby realizing position adjustment of the air deflector structure 200, increasing the air supply angle and / or the air supply direction of the air deflector structure 200, realizing multi-direction, multi-angle and free-angle air deflection, expanding the air supply range, improving air supply uniformity, improving user experience, improving user comfort and improving air conditioner performance.

[0028] It can be understood that when the driving structure 300 drives the air deflector structure 200 to rotate around the rotation center, the air deflector structure 200 can swing in the circumferential direction, so as to change the air supply direction and the air supply angle; when the driving structure 300 drives the air deflector structure 200 to move back and forth, the air deflector structure 200 moves back and forth, so as to change the air supply direction and the air supply angle.
