Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of air conditioning technology, specifically to an air conditioner. Background Technology

[0002] Ducted air conditioner indoor units are favored in the air conditioning market due to their concealed installation and aesthetic appeal in home décor. To purify the air and create a fresher, healthier environment, ducted units are typically equipped with ion generators. However, ducted units suffer from drawbacks such as long internal cabling distances and complex wiring. Summary of the Invention

[0003] This disclosure aims to at least partially address one of the technical problems in the related art.

[0004] Therefore, embodiments of this disclosure propose an air conditioner that has the advantages of short internal cable routing distance and low wiring difficulty.

[0005] The air conditioner of this embodiment includes a housing, an air guide plate assembly, and an ion generator. The housing has an air duct, an air inlet, and an air outlet, both of which are connected to the air duct. The air guide plate assembly includes an air guide plate and a driving component for driving the air guide plate. The ion generator includes a high-voltage transformer and an electrode, which are electrically connected. The electrode is disposed within the air duct, and the high-voltage transformer and the driving component are disposed on the same side of the housing in a left-right direction.

[0006] The air conditioner of this disclosure improves indoor air quality by placing the electrodes of the ion generator in the air duct, allowing the air passing through the duct to be purified by the electrodes. By placing the high-voltage transformer of the ion generator and the driving component of the air guide plate assembly on the same side of the casing in the left-right direction, the cables connecting the high-voltage transformer and the air conditioner's control box can partially overlap with the cables connecting the driving component and the control box, thus reducing the difficulty of wiring the cables connecting the high-voltage transformer and the control box within the casing.

[0007] In some embodiments, the heat exchanger of the air conditioner is disposed within the air duct, and the refrigerant pipe of the air conditioner is connected to the heat exchange pipe of the heat exchanger. The refrigerant pipe, the high-pressure transformer, and the drive component are disposed on the same side of the casing along the left-right direction. Thus, the high-pressure transformer and the drive component can be located on the left or right side of the heat exchanger, just like the refrigerant pipe. This ensures that the high-pressure transformer and the drive component do not encroach on the air inlet or outlet space of the heat exchanger, thereby affecting airflow efficiency. It also results in a smaller casing size in the left-right direction and a more compact air conditioner structure.

[0008] In some embodiments, the housing has a mounting cavity that is isolated from the air duct. The high-pressure transformer, the drive component, and the refrigerant pipe are all located within the mounting cavity. This effectively prevents airflow from the air duct from entering the mounting cavity and reducing its airflow efficiency, and also effectively prevents external dust and other impurities from entering the mounting cavity and adhering to the high-pressure transformer, drive component, and refrigerant pipe, thus affecting their service life and performance.

[0009] In some embodiments, the housing includes a shell, a heat exchanger bracket, and an air outlet frame assembly. The heat exchanger bracket is disposed within the shell, and the heat exchanger is connected to the heat exchanger bracket. The air outlet frame assembly is disposed within the shell, and the air outlet is formed in the air outlet frame assembly. The shell, the heat exchanger bracket, and the air outlet frame assembly define the air duct. Therefore, by dividing the housing into a shell, a heat exchanger bracket, and an air outlet frame assembly, the air outlet is easily formed on the housing, and the high-pressure transformer, drive components, and heat exchanger are easily assembled and disassembled within the housing.

[0010] In some embodiments, the drive component is located in front of the refrigerant pipe in a front-rear direction, and a partition is provided between the drive component and the refrigerant pipe. The high-voltage transformer is located on the side of the partition away from the refrigerant pipe. Therefore, by placing the high-voltage transformer on the side of the partition away from the refrigerant pipe, the high-voltage transformer is isolated from electrical components near the refrigerant pipe. The partition effectively reduces interference and potential damage to electrical components behind the high-voltage transformer and its electrically connected cables, resulting in higher reliability of the air conditioner.

[0011] In some embodiments, the air outlet frame assembly is integrally formed with the partition. This effectively reduces the number of components in the housing, simplifies the installation process of the partition within the housing, and improves the assembly efficiency of the housing.

[0012] In some embodiments, the air outlet frame assembly and / or the partition are made of plastic. This facilitates the processing and manufacturing of the air outlet frame assembly and / or partition with high precision, while also preventing the absorption of ions generated by the ion generator, thus enhancing the air purification efficiency of the ion generator.

[0013] In some embodiments, the air conditioner further includes an electrical control box, which is located on the side of the partition away from the high-voltage transformer. The electrical control box is electrically connected to the high-voltage transformer via a first connecting wire, and the partition has a first wire guide groove for the first connecting wire to pass through. Thus, by providing a first wire guide groove on the partition, the first connecting wire connecting the electrical control box and the high-voltage transformer can extend substantially in the front-to-back direction, resulting in a shorter wiring distance, lower wiring difficulty, higher reliability of the electrical connection between the electrical control box and the high-voltage transformer, and effectively reduced interference from the first connecting wire to other electrical components.

[0014] In some embodiments, the high-voltage transformer and the electrode are located on the same side of the housing along the left-right direction. This results in a shorter distance between the high-voltage transformer and the electrode, a shorter cable distance connecting them, a lower probability of cable interference, and lower cost and failure rate of the ion generator.

[0015] In some embodiments, the electrode is located at one end of the air duct adjacent to the air outlet. Therefore, the electrode can be exposed by removing the air outlet frame assembly or the air guide plate on the air outlet frame assembly, resulting in high electrode removal and installation efficiency and convenient maintenance and replacement.

[0016] In some embodiments, the ion generator further includes a generator bracket, the electrode is disposed on the generator bracket, the generator bracket is connected to the heat exchanger bracket and is located on the side of the heat exchanger facing the air outlet. Thus, by mounting the ion generator bracket on the heat exchanger bracket, the electrode is ensured to be located within the air duct, and there is no need to additionally install a frame for mounting the ion generator bracket within the housing, resulting in high assembly and disassembly efficiency of the ion generator bracket.

[0017] In some embodiments, the heat exchanger support includes a first end plate and a second end plate arranged at intervals, the heat exchanger is disposed between the first end plate and the second end plate, and the refrigerant pipe is located on the side of the first end plate away from the second end plate. That is, both the heat exchanger and the ion generator are located between the first end plate and the second end plate, ensuring that the electrodes of the heat exchanger and the ion generator are located within the air duct, so as to effectively ensure the temperature regulation and air purification functions of the air conditioner.

[0018] In some embodiments, the generator bracket is a single unit disposed between the first end plate and the second end plate, and the number of electrodes is at least two and they are spaced apart in the left-right direction; Alternatively, the generator support includes a first support and a second support arranged at intervals along the left-right direction. The first support is located on the side of the first end plate facing the second end plate, and the second support is located on the side of the second end plate facing the first end plate. Both the first and second supports are equipped with the electrodes. Thus, at least two electrodes are arranged at intervals along the left-right direction of the air duct, resulting in a wider ion distribution range and allowing the ions generated by the electrodes to diffuse more evenly into the room with the airflow within the air duct, leading to higher indoor air purification efficiency.

[0019] In some embodiments, the high-voltage transformer is electrically connected to the electrode via a second connecting wire. The first end plate has a second wire guide groove for the second connecting wire to pass through, and the partition plate has a third wire guide groove for the second connecting wire to pass through. Thus, the second connecting wire connecting the electrode and the high-voltage transformer can be substantially divided into two angled segments. The segment passing through the second wire guide groove can extend substantially in a left-right direction, and the segment passing through the third wire guide groove can extend substantially in a front-back direction. This results in a shorter routing distance for the second connecting wire, lower wiring difficulty, and less interference with other electrical components.

[0020] In some embodiments, the air outlet includes a first air outlet located on the front side of the air outlet frame assembly and a second air outlet located on the lower side of the air outlet frame assembly. Therefore, by providing both the first and second air outlets, the air outlet area is large, improving the air purification efficiency of the air conditioner.

[0021] In some embodiments, the housing has a front outlet and a lower outlet, and at least a portion of the air outlet frame assembly is fitted at the front outlet and the lower outlet, at least one of the front outlet and the lower outlet being formed on a sheet metal part. This effectively improves the structural strength of the connection between the air outlet frame assembly and the housing, and facilitates the matching of the air outlet frame assembly and the housing.

[0022] In some embodiments, the air outlet includes a first air outlet located on the front side of the air outlet frame assembly and a second air outlet located on the lower side of the air outlet frame assembly. The housing also includes an air outlet panel assembly, which is fitted to the outside of the first air outlet and / or the second air outlet. This can improve the air outlet effect of the air conditioner, expand the air delivery range of the air conditioner, and increase the air purification efficiency.

[0023] In some embodiments, the air outlet panel assembly responds to instructions from an application, control panel, or remote control device, which has a display interface including at least one of front air outlet, bottom air outlet, and dual air outlet. This can improve the airflow effect of the air conditioner, expand its air delivery range, and enhance its level of intelligence.

[0024] In some embodiments, the air outlet panel assembly has a panel air outlet and includes an air guide plate and / or a sweeping component. The air guide plate and / or the sweeping component are disposed at the panel air outlet. The sweeping component enables air to be swept in the left and right directions of the panel air outlet. The air guide plate can open and close the panel air outlet and adjust the air outlet angle. Therefore, the air outlet panel assembly can improve the uniformity and comfort of the air conditioning airflow through three-dimensional airflow adjustment.

[0025] In some embodiments, the air conditioner is a ducted unit. This effectively saves indoor space, allows for a larger air outlet range, and thus achieves higher air purification efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0033] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0034] The following is combined with Figures 1-6 An air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is described.

[0035] The air conditioner of this embodiment includes a housing 1, an air guide plate assembly 4, and an ion generator 3. The housing 1 has an air duct, an air inlet, and an air outlet, and the air inlet and air outlet are both connected to the air duct. The air guide plate assembly 4 includes an air guide plate 41 and a driving component 42 for driving the air guide plate 41. The ion generator 3 includes a high-voltage transformer 31 and an electrode 32, which are electrically connected. The electrode 32 is disposed in the air duct, and the high-voltage transformer 31 and the driving component 42 are disposed on the same side of the housing 1 in the left-right direction.

[0036] The air conditioner of this embodiment improves indoor air quality by placing the electrode 32 of the ion generator 3 in the air duct, allowing the air passing through the air duct to be purified by the electrode 32. By placing the high-voltage transformer 31 of the ion generator 3 and the driving component 42 of the air guide plate assembly 4 on the same side of the casing 1 in the left-right direction, the cables connecting the high-voltage transformer 31 and the air conditioner's control box 5 can partially overlap with the cables connecting the driving component 42 and the control box 5, thus reducing the difficulty of wiring the cables connecting the high-voltage transformer 31 and the control box 5 within the casing 1.

[0037] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the up-down direction refers to the height of the horizontally placed air conditioner, the left-right direction refers to the length of the horizontally placed air conditioner, and the front-back direction refers to the width of the horizontally placed air conditioner. The air inlet is formed at the rear end of the casing 1, and the air outlet is formed at the front end of the casing 1. The electrode 32 includes a positive electrode 32 and a negative electrode 32. The combination of these two electrodes actively captures and settles fine particulate matter such as dust in the air, effectively inhibits bacteria and viruses, and decomposes formaldehyde and odors, thereby significantly improving indoor air quality and creating a fresher and healthier breathing environment. The driving component 42 is a motor, which is mounted on the casing 1. The motor's drive shaft is connected to the air guide plate 41 to drive the air guide plate 41 to rotate.

[0038] In some embodiments, the heat exchanger 2 of the air conditioner is located in the air duct, and the refrigerant pipe of the air conditioner is connected to the heat exchange pipe of the heat exchanger 2. The refrigerant pipe (not shown in the figure), the high-pressure transformer 31 and the drive component 42 are located on the same side of the casing 1 in the left-right direction.

[0039] Therefore, the high-pressure coil 31 and the drive component 42 can be located on the left or right side of the heat exchanger 2, just like the refrigerant pipe. This ensures that the high-pressure coil 31 and the drive component 42 do not encroach on the air inlet or air outlet space of the heat exchanger 2 and thus do not affect the air inlet and outlet efficiency. At the same time, it also makes the casing 1 smaller in the left and right directions, and the air conditioner has a more compact structure.

[0040] For example, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the refrigerant pipe, high-pressure coil 31, and drive component 42 are all located on the right side of the air duct.

[0041] In some embodiments, the housing 1 has a mounting cavity 15, which is isolated from the air duct. The high-pressure transformer 31, the drive component 42 and the refrigerant pipe are all located in the mounting cavity 15.

[0042] Therefore, it effectively prevents airflow from entering the installation cavity 15 from the duct and reducing its air outlet efficiency, and also effectively prevents external dust and other impurities from entering the installation cavity 15 from the duct and adhering to the high-pressure transformer 31, drive component 42 and refrigerant pipe, thus affecting the service life and performance of the three components.

[0043] For example, the mounting cavity 15 and the air duct are arranged in the left-right direction, the mounting cavity 15 is located on the right side of the air duct, the housing 1 includes a vertical plate that separates the mounting cavity 15 and the air duct, the drive component 42 is mounted on the vertical plate, and the drive shaft of the drive component 42 passes through the vertical plate and is connected to the air guide plate 41.

[0044] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the housing 1 includes a shell 11, a heat exchanger bracket 12, and an air outlet frame assembly 13. The heat exchanger bracket 12 is disposed within the shell 11, and the heat exchanger 2 is connected to the heat exchanger bracket 12. The air outlet frame assembly 13 is disposed within the shell 11, and an air outlet is formed in the air outlet frame assembly 13. The shell 11, the heat exchanger bracket 12, and the air outlet frame assembly 13 define an air outlet duct. At this time, after the heat exchanger 2 is installed on the heat exchanger bracket 12, the heat exchanger 2 is located within the air duct.

[0045] Therefore, by disassembling the housing 1 into the housing 11, the heat exchanger bracket 12 and the air outlet frame assembly 13, the air outlet is easily formed on the housing 1, and the high pressure pack 31, the drive component 42 and the heat exchanger 2 are easily disassembled and assembled inside the housing 1.

[0046] In some embodiments, the drive component 42 is located in front of the refrigerant pipe in the front-rear direction, and a partition 14 is provided between the drive component 42 and the refrigerant pipe. The high-pressure transformer 31 is located on the side of the partition 14 away from the refrigerant pipe.

[0047] Therefore, by placing the high-voltage transformer 31 on the side of the partition 14 away from the refrigerant pipe, the high-voltage transformer 31 is isolated from the electrical components near the refrigerant pipe. The partition 14 can effectively reduce interference with the high-voltage transformer 31 and the cables connected to it, and even reduce damage to the electrical components behind it, thus making the air conditioner more reliable.

[0048] For example, partition 14 divides mounting cavity 15 into a front chamber and a rear chamber, with refrigerant pipes located in the rear chamber and drive unit 42 and high-pressure pack 31 located in the front chamber.

[0049] In some embodiments, the air outlet frame assembly 13 and the partition 14 are integrally formed. This effectively reduces the number of parts in the housing 1, reduces the installation steps of the partition 14 within the housing 11, and improves the assembly efficiency of the housing 1.

[0050] For example, the drive component 42 is installed on the right side of the air outlet frame assembly 13, and the air guide plate 41 is pivotally connected to the air outlet frame assembly 13. In the assembly process, the air guide plate 41, the drive component 42 and the high-voltage transformer 31 can be installed on the air outlet frame assembly 13 and the partition plate 14 respectively, and then the air outlet frame assembly 13 is assembled into the housing 11. This can realize the installation of the air guide plate assembly 4 and the high-voltage transformer 31 on the housing 1, and the assembly efficiency of the air conditioner is high.

[0051] Optionally, the air outlet frame assembly 13 and / or the partition 14 are made of plastic. This facilitates the processing and manufacturing of the air outlet frame assembly 13 and / or the partition 14 with high precision, while also preventing the absorption of ions generated by the ion generator 3, thus enhancing the air purification efficiency of the ion generator 3.

[0052] For example, the air outlet frame assembly 13 and the partition 14 are integrally injection molded.

[0053] In some embodiments, the air conditioner further includes an electrical control box 5, which is located on the side of the partition 14 away from the high voltage transformer 31. The electrical control box 5 is electrically connected to the high voltage transformer 31 through a first connecting line. The partition 14 is provided with a first wire groove 141 through which the first connecting line passes.

[0054] Therefore, by setting the first wire groove 141 on the partition 14, the first connecting wire that connects the control box 5 and the high voltage transformer 31 can extend in a roughly front-to-back direction. The routing distance of the first connecting wire is shorter, the wiring difficulty is lower, and the electrical connection between the control box 5 and the high voltage transformer 31 is more reliable. At the same time, it also effectively reduces the interference of the first connecting wire to other electrical components.

[0055] For example, the control box 5 is located on the rear side of the refrigerant pipe, and both the control box 5 and the high-voltage transformer 31 are located on the right side inside the housing 11.

[0056] In some embodiments, the high-voltage transformer 31 and the electrode 32 are disposed on the same side of the housing 1 in the left-right direction. As a result, the distance between the high-voltage transformer 31 and the electrode 32 is shorter, the cable connecting the high-voltage transformer 31 and the electrode 32 has a shorter routing distance, the probability of cable interference is lower, and the cost and failure rate of the ion generator 3 are lower.

[0057] For example, when the high-voltage transformer 31 is located on the right side inside the housing 1, the electrode 32 is located on the right side inside the air duct.

[0058] In some embodiments, the electrode 32 is located at one end of the air duct near the air outlet. Thus, the electrode 32 can be exposed by removing the air outlet frame assembly 13 or the air guide plate 41 on the air outlet frame assembly 13, which makes the disassembly and assembly of the electrode 32 efficient and convenient for maintenance and replacement.

[0059] For example, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, electrode 32 is located on the side of heat exchanger 2 facing the air outlet frame assembly 13.

[0060] In some embodiments, the ion generator 3 further includes a generator support 33, an electrode 32 is disposed on the generator support 33, the generator support 33 is connected to the heat exchanger support 12 and is located on the side of the heat exchanger 2 facing the air outlet.

[0061] Therefore, by installing the ion generator 3 bracket on the heat exchanger bracket 12, the electrode 32 is located in the air duct, and there is no need to set up an additional frame for installing the ion generator 3 bracket in the housing 11. The disassembly and assembly efficiency of the ion generator 3 bracket is high.

[0062] For example, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the heat exchanger bracket 12 and the housing 11 define a forward section of the air outlet duct, and the ion generator 3 bracket is connected to the heat exchanger bracket 12 so that it is located on the side of the air outlet duct closer to the air outlet.

[0063] In some embodiments, the heat exchanger support 12 includes a first end plate 121 and a second end plate 122 arranged at intervals, the heat exchanger 2 is disposed between the first end plate 121 and the second end plate 122, and the refrigerant pipe is located on the side of the first end plate 121 away from the second end plate 122.

[0064] That is, both the heat exchanger 2 and the ion generator 3 are located between the first end plate 121 and the second end plate 122, ensuring that the electrodes 32 of both the heat exchanger 2 and the ion generator 3 are located in the air duct, so as to effectively ensure the temperature regulation and air purification functions of the air conditioner.

[0065] For example, such as Figure 1 As shown, the first end plate 121 is the right end plate, the second end plate 122 is the left end plate, and the heat exchanger 2 is the evaporator, which is clamped between the left end plate and the right end plate.

[0066] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, the generator bracket 33 is a single unit located between the first end plate 121 and the second end plate 122, and the number of electrodes 32 is at least two, arranged at intervals along the left-right direction. Alternatively, as... Figure 2 As shown, the generator bracket 33 includes a first bracket 331 and a second bracket 332 arranged at intervals in the left-right direction. The first bracket 331 is located on the side of the first end plate 121 facing the second end plate 122, and the second bracket 332 is located on the side of the second end plate 122 facing the first end plate 121. Electrodes 32 are provided on both the first bracket 331 and the second bracket 332.

[0067] Therefore, at least two electrodes 32 are arranged at intervals along the left and right directions of the air duct. The ions generated by the electrodes 32 have a wider distribution range and can diffuse more evenly into the room with the airflow in the air duct, resulting in higher air purification efficiency in the room.

[0068] For example, such as Figure 1 As shown, the two ends of the generator bracket 33 are connected to the first end plate 121 and the second end plate 122 respectively by fasteners. Figure 2 As shown, the first bracket 331 is connected to the first end plate 121 by fasteners, and the second bracket 332 is connected to the second end plate 122 by fasteners. The first bracket 331 and the second bracket 332 are arranged at intervals in the left and right direction.

[0069] In some embodiments, the high voltage transformer 31 is electrically connected to the electrode 32 via a second connecting line, the first end plate 121 is provided with a second wire passage groove 1211 for the second connecting line to pass through, and the partition plate 14 is provided with a third wire passage groove 142 for the second connecting line to pass through.

[0070] Therefore, the second connecting line between the electrical connection electrode 32 and the high voltage transformer 31 can be roughly divided into two segments at an angle. One segment that passes through the second wire groove 1211 can extend roughly in the left-right direction, and the other segment that passes through the third wire groove 142 can extend roughly in the front-back direction. The second connecting line has a shorter routing distance, is easier to wire, and causes less interference to other electrical components.

[0071] For example, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, along the front-to-back direction, the electrode 32 and the second wire passage 1211 are both located on the rear side of the partition 14. The first end of the second connecting wire is electrically connected to the electrode 32, and the second end passes through the second wire passage 1211 to the right, then passes through the third wire passage 142 to the front and is electrically connected to the high voltage transformer 31.

[0072] In some embodiments, the air outlet includes a first air outlet 131 located on the front side of the air outlet frame assembly 13 and a second air outlet 132 located on the lower side of the air outlet frame assembly 13. Thus, by providing dual air outlets of the first air outlet 131 and the second air outlet 132, the air outlet area is large, thereby improving the air purification efficiency of the air conditioner.

[0073] In some embodiments, the housing 11 has a front outlet and a lower outlet, and at least a portion of the air outlet frame assembly 13 is fitted at the front outlet and the lower outlet, with at least one of the front outlet and the lower outlet formed on a sheet metal part. This effectively improves the structural strength of the connection between the air outlet frame assembly 13 and the housing 11, and facilitates the matching of the air outlet frame assembly 13 and the housing 11.

[0074] For example, such as Figure 2 and Figure 5As shown, the housing 11 includes a front side plate 115, a left side plate 111, a right side plate 112, an upper cover plate 113, and a lower bottom plate 114. The left side plate 111 and the right side plate 112 are arranged opposite each other and spaced apart in the left-right direction. The upper cover plate 113 is located at the upper end of the left side plate 111 and the right side plate 112, and the lower bottom plate 114 is located at the lower end of the left side plate 111 and the right side plate 112. The front side plate 115 is located at the front end of the left side plate 111, the right side plate 112, the upper cover plate 113, and the lower bottom plate 114. At least a portion of the front side plate 115 encloses a front outlet portion, and at least a portion of the lower bottom plate 114 encloses a lower outlet portion. At least a portion of the air outlet frame assembly 13 is detachably disposed at the front outlet portion or the lower outlet portion. This facilitates the processing and manufacturing of the housing 11 and makes the assembly method of the housing 11 and the air outlet frame assembly 13 more reasonable and the structure more stable.

[0075] It should be noted that, as Figure 3 As shown, there are three air guide plates 41. The driving component 42 includes three motors that correspond one-to-one with the air guide plates 41. Two air guide plates 41 are located at the first air outlet 131, and the remaining air guide plate 41 is located at the second air outlet 132.

[0076] In some embodiments, the air outlet includes a first air outlet 131 located on the front side of the air outlet frame assembly 13 and a second air outlet 132 located on the lower side of the air outlet frame assembly 13. The housing 1 also includes an air outlet panel assembly, which is fitted to the outside of the first air outlet 131 and / or the second air outlet 132. This can improve the air outlet effect of the air conditioner and expand the air supply range of the air conditioner.

[0077] For example, an air outlet panel assembly is provided on the outer side of both the front air outlet and the lower air outlet.

[0078] Optionally, the air outlet panel assembly has a panel air outlet and includes an air guide plate and / or a sweeping component. The air guide plate and / or the sweeping component are located at the panel air outlet. The sweeping component enables airflow to be swept in the left and right directions of the panel air outlet. The air guide plate can open and close the panel air outlet and adjust the air outlet angle. Therefore, the air outlet panel assembly can improve the uniformity and comfort of the air conditioning supply through three-dimensional airflow adjustment.

[0079] Optionally, the air outlet panel assembly responds to commands from an application, control panel, or remote control device, which has a display interface, such as... Figure 6 As shown, the display interface includes at least one of front air outlet, bottom air outlet, and dual air outlet. This can improve the air outlet effect of the air conditioner, expand the air delivery range of the air conditioner, and increase its level of intelligence.
