[0065] The present invention is described in detail below by way of exemplary embodiments. However, it should be understood that, without further description, elements, structures and features in one embodiment may also be beneficially combined in other embodiments.

[0066] In the present application, the vertical air conditioner performs a refrigeration cycle of the air conditioning housing by using a compressor, a condenser, an expansion valve and an indoor heat exchanger. The refrigeration cycle includes a series of processes involving compression, condensation, expansion and evaporation, and supplies refrigerant to the conditioned and heat-exchanged air.

[0067] The compressor compresses the low-temperature and low-pressure refrigerant gas and discharges the high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant gas. The discharged refrigerant gas flows into the condenser. The condenser condenses the compressed refrigerant into a liquid phase, and the heat is released to the surrounding environment through the condensation process.

[0068] The expansion valve expands the high-temperature and high-pressure liquid refrigerant condensed in the condenser into a low-pressure liquid refrigerant. The indoor heat exchanger evaporates the refrigerant expanded in the expansion valve and returns the low-temperature and low-pressure refrigerant gas to the compressor.

[0069] The indoor heat exchanger can achieve a cooling effect by utilizing the latent heat of evaporation of the refrigerant to exchange heat with the material to be cooled.

[0070] In the whole cycle, the air conditioning housing can adjust the temperature of the indoor space. The outdoor unit of the air conditioning housing refers to the part of the refrigeration cycle including the compressor and the outdoor heat exchanger, the indoor unit of the air conditioning housing includes the indoor heat exchanger, and the expansion valve can be provided in the indoor unit or the outdoor unit. The indoor heat exchanger and the outdoor heat exchanger are used as condensers or indoor heat exchangers. When the indoor heat exchanger is used as a condenser, the air conditioning housing is used as a heater in the heating mode, and when the indoor heat exchanger is used as an indoor heat exchanger, the air conditioning housing is used as a cooler in the cooling mode.

[0071] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present application will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0072] As attached Figures 1 to 7 As shown, in an illustrative embodiment of a vertical air conditioner of the utility model, the vertical air conditioner includes a shell 100, an air duct is arranged inside the shell 100, and a first air inlet 101 and an air outlet 102 connected to the air duct are respectively opened at the top and bottom ends of the shell 100, and the top and bottom ends of the shell 100 are two ends relatively arranged in the length direction of the shell 100.

[0073] The vertical air conditioner includes an indoor heat exchanger 200 . The indoor heat exchanger 200 is disposed in the housing 100 and close to the first air inlet 101 . The indoor heat exchanger 200 performs heat exchange on the air entering the air duct.

[0074] The vertical air conditioner includes an air conditioning fan 300 , which is disposed in the housing 100 and close to the air outlet 102 . The air conditioning fan 300 rotates to allow indoor air to enter the air duct, and then flows out of the air duct after heat exchange in the indoor heat exchanger 200 .

[0075] At least one side of the housing 100 is a side plate 400 , and the length direction of the side plate 400 extends along the length direction of the housing 100 .

[0076] The vertical air conditioner may include a second air inlet 401 , which is opened on the side plate 400 and is close to the indoor heat exchanger 200 .

[0077] The vertical air conditioner may include a sliding member 500 , which is disposed on a side of the side plate 400 away from the air duct and close to the second air inlet 401 .

[0078] The vertical air conditioner may include a baffle 600 , which is slidably connected to the sliding member 500 , and the baffle 600 is used to shield the second air inlet 401 .

[0079] When the baffle 600 completely blocks the second air inlet 401 , the air conditioning fan 300 introduces indoor air into the air duct from the first air inlet 101 , and sends the indoor air out from the air outlet 102 after heat exchange in the indoor heat exchanger 200 .

[0080] When the baffle 600 does not block or partially blocks the second air inlet 401 , the air conditioning fan 300 introduces indoor air into the air duct from the first air inlet 101 and the second air inlet 401 , and sends the indoor air out from the air outlet 102 after heat exchange in the indoor heat exchanger 200 .

[0081] In the prior art, the vertical air conditioner has only the first air inlet 101, and the cross-sectional area of ​​the first air inlet 101 is relatively small, thereby limiting the air intake volume of the vertical air conditioner. It is necessary to increase the speed of the air conditioner fan 300 to increase the air volume, resulting in increased power consumption and affecting the energy efficiency level of the vertical air conditioner. The increase in wind speed will cause increased noise and affect the user experience.

[0082] Through the above scheme, the baffle 600 can be moved on the sliding member 500 to adjust the position of the baffle 600; according to the user's needs, only a simple manual adjustment of the position of the baffle 600 is required to make the baffle 600 block or open the second air inlet 401. When the baffle 600 opens the second air inlet 401, the air intake volume in the shell 100 is increased, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency and energy efficiency.

[0083] In some embodiments, the sliding member 500 is slidably connected to the side of the side plate 400 away from the air duct; the baffle 600 is connected to the sliding member 500, and the baffle 600 is used to open or close the second air inlet 401. The sliding member 500 is bonded or welded to the baffle 600.

[0084] As attached Figures 8 to 11 As shown, in some embodiments, the vertical air conditioner may include a limiting portion 800 , which is connected to the sliding member 500 , and the limiting portion 800 is used to constrain the position of the baffle 600 .

[0085] A limiting groove 900 is provided on one side of the side plate 400 close to the sliding member 500, and a socket 501 passes through the sliding member 500. The limiting part 800 includes a limiting seat 801, a spring 802 and a limiting column 803. A mounting hole is opened on the limiting seat 801, and the spring 802 and the limiting column 803 are coaxially arranged in the mounting hole, and the mounting hole is coaxially connected to the socket 501.

[0086] One end of the limiting column 803 away from the spring 802 passes through the insertion hole 501, and the other end of the limiting column 803 away from the insertion hole 501 is pressed against the spring 802. The spring 802 generates pressure to press the limiting column 803, so that the limiting column 803 can be clamped in the limiting groove 900. The limiting seat 801 is installed on the side of the sliding member 500 away from the side plate 400 by screws.

[0087] As attached Figures 12 to 15 As shown, the mounting hole passes through the limiting seat 801 , and one end of the mounting hole away from the limiting column 803 is threadedly connected with a stud 804 , and the stud 804 is coaxially abutted against the spring 802 .

[0088] The spring 802 is coaxially arranged between the stud 804 and the limit column 803, and plays the role of squeezing the limit column 803. By rotating the depth of the stud 804 in the installation hole, the spring 802 is squeezed, and the spring 802 can tighten the limit column 803. The force of the spring 802 can be adjusted by adjusting the screw-in depth of the stud 804.

[0089] The end of the limiting column 803 away from the spring 802 is a ball head top column, and the limiting groove 900 is a spherical groove. The shape of the limiting groove 900 matches the shape of the end of the limiting column 803 away from the spring 802. The limiting column 803 can penetrate into the limiting groove 900, so that the baffle 600 is stuck. The limiting column 803 can be slid out of the limiting groove 900 with a little force, thereby moving the position of the baffle 600.

[0090] In some embodiments, a sealing rubber is provided on the periphery of the baffle 600 so that the baffle 600 has a good sealing effect when shielding the second air inlet 401 to prevent air leakage.

[0091] In some embodiments, the indoor heat exchanger 200 includes a first heat exchange section 201 and a second heat exchange section 202 which are arranged back to back and tilted, one end of the two heat exchange sections are connected to each other to form a connecting end, and the other end of the two heat exchange sections are free ends, so that the indoor heat exchanger 200 is roughly in an inverted V shape.

[0092] The indoor heat exchanger 200 almost covers the entire air flow cross section in the air inlet direction of the first air inlet 101 and the second air inlet 401, thereby increasing the heat exchange area of ​​the indoor heat exchanger 200, improving the heat exchange efficiency of the vertical air conditioner, and increasing the amount of heat exchanged air.

[0093] In addition, the present application also provides a vertical air conditioner, which includes a shell 100, an air duct is arranged inside the shell 100, and the top and bottom ends of the shell 100 are respectively provided with a first air inlet 101 and an air outlet 102 connected to the air duct, and the top and bottom ends of the shell 100 are two ends relatively arranged in the length direction of the shell 100.

[0094] The vertical air conditioner may include an indoor heat exchanger 200 , which is disposed in the housing 100 and close to the first air inlet 101 . The indoor heat exchanger 200 performs heat exchange on the air entering the air duct.

[0095] The vertical air conditioner may include an air conditioning fan 300 , which is disposed in the housing 100 and close to the air outlet 102 . The air conditioning fan 300 rotates to allow indoor air to enter the air duct and flow out of the air duct after heat exchange in the indoor heat exchanger 200 .

[0096] At least one side of the housing 100 is a side plate 400 , and the length direction of the side plate 400 extends along the length direction of the housing 100 .

[0097] The vertical air conditioner may include a second air inlet 401 , which is opened on the side plate 400 and is close to the indoor heat exchanger 200 .

[0098] The vertical air conditioner may include a sliding member 500 , which is disposed on a side of the side plate 400 away from the air duct and close to the second air inlet 401 .

[0099] The vertical air conditioner may include a baffle 600 , which is slidably connected to the sliding member 500 , and the baffle 600 is used to shield the second air inlet 401 .

[0100] The vertical air conditioner may include a fresh air inlet 601 , which is opened on the baffle 600 .

[0101] The vertical air conditioner may include a cover plate 700 , and the cover plate 700 is used to shield the first air inlet 101 .

[0102] The baffle 600 completely blocks the second air inlet 401 , the cover plate 700 completely blocks the first air inlet 101 , and the air conditioning fan 300 introduces outdoor fresh air into the air duct from the fresh air inlet 601 , and sends it out from the air outlet 102 after heat exchange in the indoor heat exchanger 200 .

[0103] The baffle 600 does not block or partially blocks the second air inlet 401 , the cover plate 700 does not block the first air inlet 101 , the air conditioning fan 300 introduces indoor air into the air duct from the first air inlet 101 and the second air inlet 401 , and sends it out from the air outlet 102 after heat exchange in the indoor heat exchanger 200 .

[0104] In the prior art, the vertical air conditioner has only the first air inlet 101, and the cross-sectional area of ​​the first air inlet 101 is relatively small, thereby limiting the air volume of the vertical air conditioner. In addition, the indoor circulating air is adopted, and long-term use will cause indoor air pollution and affect the health of users.

[0105] Through the above scheme, the fresh air structure is installed on the side air duct structure. When the user uses the fresh air mode, the cover 700 blocks the first air inlet 101, and the baffle 600 completely blocks the second air inlet 401. The outside fresh air enters the shell 100 from the fresh air inlet 601, providing the user with natural fresh air, which is beneficial to the health and improves the market competitiveness of the product.

[0106] According to user needs, the position of the baffle 600 is adjusted to open the second air inlet 401, thereby increasing the cross-sectional area of ​​the air duct and the air intake volume in the housing 100, thereby improving heat exchange efficiency and energy efficiency.

[0107] In some implementations, the vertical air conditioner may include a partition, which is disposed on a side of the baffle 600 away from the air duct, and the partition is used to open or close the fresh air inlet 601.

[0108] In some embodiments, the vertical air conditioner may include a fresh air duct, one end of which is connected to the outdoors, and the other end of which is connected to the fresh air inlet 601, so that the fresh air is introduced from the fresh air duct and transported into the air duct through the fresh air inlet 601.

The fresh air duct joint is in a hollow tubular shape and is connected to the side panel 400 . The fresh air duct joint is coaxially connected to the fresh air inlet 601 .

[0110] An air guide ring is coaxially installed inside the fresh air inlet 601 , and the outer peripheral wall of the air guide ring is arranged to fit the inner peripheral wall of the fresh air inlet 601 .

[0111] A filter is provided at one end of the fresh air pipe joint close to the fresh air inlet 601, and the filter is used to filter the fresh air entering the fresh air inlet 601, thereby providing natural fresh air for users, which is beneficial to health.

[0112] As attached Figure 16 to Figure 17 As shown, in some embodiments, the vertical air conditioner may include a limiting portion 800 , which is connected to the sliding member 500 , and the limiting portion 800 is used to constrain the position of the baffle 600 .

[0113] In some embodiments, a limiting groove 900 is provided on the side of the baffle 600 close to the sliding member 500, and a socket 501 passes through the sliding member 500.
