The second air duct partition has a second air duct opening that communicates with the first air duct. The outer wall of the second side air duct and the outer wall of the air duct tongue of the second fan near the second side air duct form a first outer wall. The first outer wall includes a first position with a spacing smaller than a preset spacing. The housing includes a first side shell portion near the first air duct. The second air duct opening is opened from the first position toward the first side shell portion.
[0010] In some optional embodiments, the preset spacing ranges from 10mm to 100mm.

[0016] In some alternative embodiments, the second side duct plate is given a first external tangent at the second dividing point, wherein the angle between the first external tangent and the first side duct plate is α, and 30°≤α≤150°.
[0017] In some alternative embodiments, 30° ≤ a ≤ 50°.
[0018] In some alternative embodiments, the first edge of the second air duct opening overlaps with the line shape of the first side air duct plate; and / or, a portion of the second edge of the second air duct opening overlaps with the line shape of the second side air duct plate.

[0067] This disclosure provides a vertical cabinet air conditioner, which can also be called an air conditioner indoor unit, floor-standing air conditioner indoor unit, cabinet air conditioner indoor unit, dual-fan air conditioner indoor unit, or dual-fan cabinet air conditioner indoor unit, etc.
[0068] The vertical cabinet air conditioner provided in this embodiment includes a housing and a fan assembly. The housing has a first air duct 11 and a second air duct inside, and an upper air outlet 101 connected to the first air duct 11 is provided at the top of the housing, while a side air outlet connected to the second air duct is provided on the side of the housing. The fan assembly includes a first fan 1 and a second fan 2. The first fan 1 is connected to the upper air outlet 101 through the first air duct 11 for upper air outlet, and the second fan 2 is connected to the side air outlet through the second air duct for side air outlet.
[0069] Optionally, the first fan 1 is located below the second fan 2, and the first air duct 11 is located on one side of the second air duct.
[0070] The vertical cabinet air conditioner provided in this embodiment has a casing with an upper air outlet 101 located at the top or upper part and a side air outlet located on the side. Optionally, the upper air outlet 101 can deliver air from the top forward, and the side air outlet is located in the middle or lower middle part of the casing, which can deliver air from the middle of the casing forward or to the side. Optionally, the upper air outlet 101 is cylindrical, and the side air outlet is elongated. It can be seen that the vertical cabinet air conditioner provided in this embodiment achieves a multi-dimensional air delivery mode, improving the user experience.
[0071] The vertical cabinet air conditioner provided in this embodiment has a first air duct 11 and a second air duct inside its casing. The first air duct 11 is connected to the upper air outlet 101, and a first fan 1 is disposed within the first air duct 11. The second air duct is connected to the side air outlet, and a second fan 2 is disposed within the second air duct. In this way, by distributing air to the upper air outlet 101 and the side air outlet respectively within different air ducts and using different fans, the air volume and air temperature of the two air outlets are not affected by each other.
[0072] Optionally, the first air duct 11 and the second air duct are isolated from each other. The air blown by the first fan 1 is only delivered through the upper air outlet 101, and the air blown by the second fan 2 is only delivered through the side air outlet. In this way, the air volume of the upper air outlet 101 and the side air outlet can be controlled separately by adjusting the speed or gear of the first fan 1 and the second fan 2, thereby improving the versatility of the air output of the vertical cabinet air conditioner.
[0073] In this embodiment of the present disclosure, the first air duct 11 is disposed on one side of the second air duct, such as... Figures 2 to 11 As shown. The first air duct 11 is arranged vertically, and the second air duct is also arranged vertically. Of the two vertically arranged air ducts, the first air duct 11 is located on one side of the second air duct. Optionally, the first air duct 11 is located on one side of the outer wall of the second air duct.
[0074] Optionally, the side air outlet includes a first side air outlet 201 and a second side air outlet 202, and the second air duct includes a first side air duct 21 connected to the first side air outlet 201 and a second side air duct 22 connected to the second side air outlet 202, wherein the first air duct 11 is disposed on one side of the second side air duct 22. Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown.
[0075] The first side air outlet 201 is a vertical strip-shaped air outlet, and similarly, the second side air outlet 202 is a vertical strip-shaped air outlet. Optionally, the opening length of the first side air outlet 201 is the same as the opening length of the second side air outlet 202, and / or, the opening width of the first side air outlet 201 is the same as the opening width of the second side air outlet 202. Optionally, the opening length of the first side air outlet 201 and the second side air outlet 202 is the same as the length of the second fan 2.
[0076] Optionally, the extension length of the first side air duct 21 is less than or equal to the extension length of the second side air duct 22. It is understood that the extension length of the first side air duct 21 is... Figure 3 The length indicated by the dashed arrow within the first side air duct 21 is similar to the extension length of the second side air duct 22. Figure 3 The length indicated by the dashed arrow within the second side air duct 22. Optionally, the first side air duct 21 and / or the second side air duct 22 are arc-shaped air ducts.
[0077] Optionally, the second fan 2 is positioned closer to the first side air duct 21. This results in a larger reserved space on one side of the second side air duct 22, allowing the first air duct 11 to be opened on the side of the second side air duct 22 with the larger reserved space. This increases the opening area of the first air duct 11 and increases the air volume of the upper air outlet 101.
[0078] Optionally, the second fan 2 is provided with a first air duct baffle 31 and a second air duct baffle 32 at both ends. The first air duct baffle 31 is located above the second air duct baffle 32. The first air duct baffle 31 has a first air duct opening 301 that communicates with the first air duct 11, and the second air duct baffle 32 has a second air duct opening 302 that communicates with the first air duct 11. Figure 4 As shown.
[0079] The first air duct partition 31 and the second air duct partition 32, located at both ends of the second fan 2, separate the first air duct 11 from the second air duct. The first air duct partition 31 and the second air duct partition 32 can serve as horizontal end plates at both ends of the second air duct. The first air duct partition 31 has a first air duct opening 301 communicating with the first air duct 11, and the second air duct partition 32 has a second air duct opening 302 communicating with the first air duct 11. Thus, the air blown by the first fan 1 passes sequentially from bottom to top through the second air duct opening 302, the first air duct 11, and the first air duct opening 301 before being discharged from the upper air outlet 101.
[0080] Optionally, the first air duct baffle 31 and / or the second air duct baffle 32 are arranged horizontally within the housing, such as... Figure 4 As shown. Optionally, the first air duct opening 301 is formed at a position where the first air duct 11 of the first air duct partition 31 extends vertically upward, and the opening area of the first air duct opening 301 is greater than or equal to 2 / 3 of the cross-sectional area of the first air duct 11; similarly, the second air duct opening 302 is formed at a position where the first air duct 11 of the second air duct partition 32 extends vertically downward, and the opening area of the second air duct opening 302 is greater than or equal to 2 / 3 of the cross-sectional area of the first air duct 11. In this way, by forming the first air duct opening 301 and the second air duct opening 302 as large as possible on the first air duct partition 31 and the second air duct partition 32 respectively, the wind resistance of the first air duct opening 301 and the second air duct opening 302 is reduced.
[0081] Optionally, the first air duct opening 301 receives a first projection in the vertical direction, and the second air duct opening 302 receives a second projection in the vertical direction, wherein the first projection overlaps with the second projection; or, the first projection covers the second projection.
[0082] A first air duct opening 301 is formed in the upper part of the first air duct partition 31, and a second air duct opening 302 is formed in the lower part of the second air duct partition 32. The first air duct opening 301 receives a first projection in a vertical direction, and the second air duct opening 302 receives a second projection in a vertical direction. The first projection and the second projection overlap, so that the first air duct opening 301 and the second air duct opening 302 have the same size and shape. Alternatively, the first projection covers the second projection, so that the opening area of the first air duct opening 301 is larger than the opening area of the second air duct opening 302, reducing the air resistance of the air flowing out of the second air duct opening 302 and then back through the first air duct opening 301.
[0083] Optionally, the outer wall 221 of the second side air duct and the outer wall 222 of the casing of the second fan 2 near the second side air duct 22 form a first outer wall. The first outer wall includes a first position 223 with a spacing smaller than a preset spacing. The casing includes a first side shell portion 51 near the first air duct 11, wherein the second air duct opening 302 is opened from the first position 223 toward the first side shell portion 51. Figure 7 As shown.
[0084] The outer wall 221 of the second side air duct Figure 5 As shown by the bolded lines, the outer wall 222 of the casing of the second fan 2 near the second side air duct 22 is as follows: Figure 6 The bolded lines indicate that the outer wall 221 of the second side air duct and the outer wall 222 of the casing of the second fan 2 near the second side air duct 22 form a first outer wall. The first outer wall includes a first position 223 with a spacing smaller than a preset spacing, as shown in the figure. Figure 7 As shown, the second air duct opening 302 on the second air duct partition 32 is opened from the first position 223 toward the first side shell portion 51 of the housing. In this way, a generally flared second air duct opening 302 is obtained, which reduces the air resistance of the second air duct opening 302.
[0085] Optionally, the preset spacing ranges from 10mm to 100mm. Optionally, the preset spacing ranges from 25mm to 75mm. This ensures that at least half of the cross-flow fan's air intake is a high-efficiency air intake area, while also guaranteeing a large air outlet area, thereby increasing the cross-flow fan's air delivery volume.
[0086] Optionally, the first position 223 is located at the point where the spacing between the first outer walls is smallest, or one end of the first position 223 is at the bend of the outer wall 222 of the casing. This results in a second air duct opening 302 that is approximately flared. Figure 7 As shown.
[0087] Optionally, the second air duct opening further includes an air duct end near the first side shell, and the width of the air duct end is M1, and the width at the first position is M2, wherein 0.02 ≤ M1 / M2 ≤ 1. Optionally, 0.1 ≤ M1 / M2 ≤ 0.6, such as... Figure 9 As shown, the centrifugal fan has a larger outlet area to ensure that the cross-flow fan can achieve optimal performance, thereby increasing the overall air volume, while the outlet air velocity is not too high, thus reducing noise.
[0088] Optionally, the first position 223 of the first outer wall includes a first dividing point 2231 near the second side air duct 22 and a second dividing point 2232 away from the second side air duct 22, wherein the first outer wall includes a first side air duct plate 224 extending from the first dividing point 2231 toward the first side shell portion 51 and a second side air duct plate 225 extending from the second dividing point 2232 toward the first side shell portion 51. Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown.
[0089] Optionally, the second dividing point 2232 is the bend in the outer wall 222 of the housing. Divided by the first dividing point 2231 and the second dividing point 2232, the first outer wall includes a first side air duct plate 224 extending from the first dividing point 2231 towards the first side shell portion 51, such as... Figure 7 As shown by the bolded lines in the middle; the first outer wall also includes a second side air duct plate 225 extending from the second dividing point 2232 toward the second side shell portion 52, as shown in the image. Figure 7 The bolded lines in the middle section are shown.
[0090] Optionally, the second side air duct plate 225 obtains a first external tangent at the second dividing point 2232, wherein the angle between the first external tangent and the first side air duct plate 224 is α, and 30°≤α≤150°.
[0091] like Figure 8 As shown, the second side air duct plate 225 has a first external tangent at the second dividing point 2232. The angle α between the first external tangent and the extension line of the first side air duct plate 224 is greater than or equal to 30° and less than or equal to 150°. This makes the second air duct opening 302 flare outward from the first position 223 toward the first side shell portion 51, and the flare is as large as possible. Optionally, 30°≤a≤50°.
[0092] Optionally, the first edge 3021 of the second air duct opening 302 overlaps with the line shape of the first side air duct plate 224; and / or, a portion of the second edge 3022 of the second air duct opening 302 overlaps with the line shape of the second side air duct plate 225. Figure 10 As shown.
[0093] The first edge 3021 of the second air duct opening 302 overlaps with the line of the first side air duct plate 224. Thus, by cutting the second air duct partition 32 along the first side air duct plate 224, the first edge 3021 of the second air duct opening 302 can be obtained. At least a portion of the second edge 3022 of the second air duct opening 302 overlaps with the line of the second side air duct plate 225. For example... Figure 7 and Figure 10 As shown.
[0094] Optionally, the second side air duct plate 225 includes a first side plate segment 2251 and a second side plate segment 2252 that are bent and connected, and the first side plate segment 2251 is close to the second dividing point 2232, wherein a portion of the second edge 3022 of the second air duct opening 302 overlaps with the line of the first side plate segment 2251.
[0095] The second edge 3022 of the second air duct opening 302 partially overlaps with the line of the first side plate section 2251, or the second edge 3022 of the second air duct opening 302 completely overlaps with the line of the first side plate section 2251. In this way, the air blown out from the second air duct opening 302 does not form wind resistance and noise when passing through the outer wall of the second side air duct 22, thereby increasing the air volume of the upper air outlet 101.
[0096] Optionally, the outer wall 221 of the second side air duct and the outer wall 222 of the casing of the second fan 2 near the second side air duct 22 form the same cross-section at different positions in the vertical direction as the first outer wall.

Compared with the second side air duct 22, the first side air duct 21 has a shorter extension length and lower air resistance, while the second side air duct 22 has a longer extension length and higher air resistance.

In this way, there is no need to set up a separate mounting bracket for the second drive motor. The second drive motor is fixedly installed by the second air duct partition 32, which has the function of separating air ducts, reducing the number of mounting and fixing parts inside the housing.
[0114] Optionally, the first partition side 321 of the second air duct partition 32 is provided with a motor mounting groove 3211 that matches the second drive motor. For example... Figure 12 As shown.

Correspondingly, the shape of the baffle edge 323 also includes a straight segment, an arc segment, and another straight segment of corresponding length in sequence. In this way, the distance between the first heat exchange position 431 of the heat exchanger 4 and each position of the baffle edge 323 is equal.

[0131] The second air duct is divided into two sections. The air duct near the exhaust port of the second fan 2 is the main exhaust duct 23. The first side air duct 21 connects the main exhaust duct 23 and the first side exhaust port 201. The second side air duct 22 connects the main exhaust duct 23 and the second side exhaust port 202.

[0132] Optionally, at least a portion of the air distribution front end 2264 of the air distribution baffle assembly 226 is disposed in the main air outlet duct 23. This improves the air guiding effect of the air distribution baffle assembly 226 on the air discharged from the second fan 2, directing it to the first side air duct 21 and the second side air duct 22 respectively. Along the exhaust direction of the second fan 2, the air distribution front end 2264 is located upstream of the airflow from the second fan 2, such as... Figure 19 As shown.

[0134] The air distribution baffle assembly 226 includes a first guide plate 2261 extending toward a first side air duct 21 and a second guide plate 2262 extending toward a second side air duct 22. The first guide plate 2261 extends from the main air outlet duct 23 toward the first side air duct 21, which can be understood as the direction of extension of the first guide plate 2261 being from the direction of the main air outlet duct 23 toward the direction of the first side air duct 21; similarly, the second guide plate 2262 extends from the main air outlet duct 23 toward the second side air duct 22, which can be understood as the direction of extension of the second guide plate 2262 being from the direction of the main air outlet duct 23 toward the direction of the second side air duct 22.
[0135] The arrangement of the first guide plate 2261 and the second guide plate 2262 improves the air guiding effect of the air distribution baffle assembly 226 to the first side air duct 21 and the second side air duct 22 respectively.

[0138] like Figure 20 As shown, the minimum angle β1 between the first guide plate 2261 and the horizontal direction is less than or equal to 90°. It can be understood that when the first guide plate 2261 is arc-shaped, the angle between the first guide plate 2261 and the horizontal direction can be understood as the angle between the external tangent of the end of the first guide plate 2261 closest to the main air outlet duct 23 and the horizontal direction. Optionally, 30°≤β1≤60°. This embodiment of the present disclosure improves the air distribution effect of the first guide plate 2261 towards the first side air duct 21.
[0139] Optionally, the minimum angle β2 between the second guide vane 2262 and the horizontal direction is less than or equal to 90°. It can be understood that the minimum angle between the second guide vane 2262 and the horizontal direction is also the angle between the end of the second guide vane 2262 closest to the main air outlet duct 23 and the horizontal direction. When the second guide vane 2262 is arc-shaped, a tangent is drawn at the end of the second guide vane 2262 closest to the main air outlet duct 23, such as an external tangent, to obtain the angle β2 between the second guide vane 2262 and the horizontal direction.

[0142] Optionally, in the direction from the main air outlet duct 23 to the first side air outlet duct 21, the width of the guide channel formed by the first guide inner wall 2271 and the first guide plate 2261 gradually increases.

[0143] It is understandable that the inner wall of the first guide is 2271. Figure 17 The thickened section of the guide air duct formed by the inner wall of the second air duct and the first guide plate 2261 is shown.
[0144] Optionally, the second guide inner wall 2272 has the same curvature as the second guide plate 2262; or, the second guide inner wall 2272 has the same inclination angle as the second guide plate 2262; or, from the main air outlet duct 23 to the second side air duct 22, the width of the guide channel formed by the second guide inner wall and the second guide plate 2262 gradually increases.
[0145] When the second guide plate 2262 is arc-shaped, the second guide inner wall 2272 of the inner wall of the second air duct is also arc-shaped. Optionally, the arc shape of the second guide inner wall 2272 is the same as that of the second guide plate 2262, or the arc of the second guide inner wall 2272 is the same as that of the second guide plate 2262. Optionally, when the second guide plate 2262 is straight, the second guide inner wall 2272 of the inner wall of the second air duct is also straight. Optionally, the inclination angle of the second guide inner wall 2272 is the same as that of the second guide plate 2262.
[0146] Optionally, in the direction from the main air outlet duct 23 to the second side air outlet duct 22, the width of the guide channel formed by the second guide inner wall 2272 and the second guide plate 2262 gradually increases. For example... Figure 17As shown, the width of the second guide inner wall 2272 and the second guide plate 2262 at the end near the main air outlet duct 23 is D3, and the width of the second guide inner wall 2272 and the second guide plate 2262 at the end near the second side air duct 22 is D4, wherein D3 is less than D4, and gradually increases from D3 to D4.
[0147] It is understandable that the second guide inner wall 2272 is... Figure 17 The thickened section of the guide air duct formed by the inner wall of the second air duct and the second guide plate 2262 is shown.

Thus, the third guide plate 2263 and the first guide plate 2261 form two air ducts that distribute air to the first side air duct 21, and similarly, the third guide plate 2263 and the second guide plate 2262 form two air ducts that distribute air to the second side air duct 22. It is evident that the arrangement of the third guide plate 2263 improves the air distribution effect of the air blown by the second fan 2 to the first side air duct 21 and the second side air duct 22 respectively.
[0150] Optionally, the third deflector 2263 is also vertically arranged; alternatively, the third deflector 2263 is arc-shaped.
[0151] Optionally, the air distribution baffle assembly 226 may also include a guide plate connecting plate 228 that is intersected with the first guide plate 2261 and the second guide plate 2262.
[0152] The second air duct has a certain height in the vertical direction. Similarly, the heights of the first guide plate 2261, the second guide plate 2262, and the third guide plate 2263 are approximately the same as the height of the second air duct. It can be seen that the first guide plate 2261, the second guide plate 2262, and the third guide plate 2263 also have a certain height. The arrangement of the guide plate connecting plate 228 improves the airflow distribution and guiding stability of the vertically arranged first guide plate 2261, second guide plate 2262, and third guide plate 2263.
[0153] Optionally, the guide plate connecting plate 228 is arranged horizontally.

[0154] Optionally, there may be multiple guide plate connecting plates 228, and the multiple guide plate connecting plates 228 are spaced apart along the length direction of the first guide plate 2261 and the second guide plate 2262.
[0155] The air distribution baffle assembly 226 includes a plurality of spaced-apart guide plate connecting plates 228, which are spaced apart along the length or height direction of the first guide plate 2261 and the second guide plate 2262. It is understood that the length or height direction of the first guide plate 2261, the second guide plate 2262, and the third guide plate 2263 is vertical. Optionally, the spacing between any two adjacent guide plate connecting plates 228 is equal. Figure 14 As shown.

[0158] Optionally, the vertical cabinet air conditioner also includes a heat exchanger 4, disposed within the housing. The heat exchanger 4 includes a first heat exchange portion 431 disposed on the air inlet side of the first fan 1, and a second heat exchange portion 432 disposed on the air inlet side of the second fan 2. The heat exchange area of the first heat exchange portion 431 is smaller than the heat exchange area of the second heat exchange portion 432. Figures 21 to 25 As shown.
[0159] The heat exchanger 4 includes a first heat exchange section 431 disposed on the air inlet side of the first fan 1 and a second heat exchange section 432 disposed on the air inlet side of the second fan 2. The heat exchanger 4 can be divided vertically to obtain the second heat exchange section 432 and the first heat exchange section 431 distributed vertically. When the first fan 1 is disposed below the second fan 2, the first heat exchange section 431 is disposed below the second heat exchange section 432. The dividing line between the first heat exchange section 431 and the second heat exchange section 432 is as follows: Figure 22 As shown by the dashed line in the image.
[0160] Optionally, the refrigerant pipelines of the first heat exchange section 431 and the second heat exchange section 432 are connected in series or in parallel. When the refrigerant pipelines of the first heat exchange section 431 and the second heat exchange section 432 are connected in parallel, the refrigerant distribution ratio between the first heat exchange section 431 and the second heat exchange section 432 can be adjusted according to the user's requirements for the outlet air temperature between the upper air outlet 101 and the side air outlet; or, when only the upper air outlet 101 is needed for air supply, the refrigerant can flow only through the first heat exchange section 431, and when only the side air outlet is needed for air supply, the refrigerant can flow only through the second heat exchange section 432.
[0161] Optionally, the fins of the heat exchanger in the first heat exchange section 431 are integrally formed with the fins of the heat exchanger in the second heat exchange section 432.

When the first fan 1 is a centrifugal fan and the second fan 2 is a cross-flow fan, the heat exchange area of the first heat exchange section 431 corresponding to the centrifugal fan is smaller, and the heat exchange area of the second heat exchange section 432 corresponding to the cross-flow fan is larger, thereby increasing the overall air volume of the vertical cabinet unit.
[0163] Optionally, the ratio of the heat exchange area of the first heat exchange section 431 to the heat exchange area of the second heat exchange section 432 is greater than or equal to 1 / 2.
