[0018] A swing assembly, comprising a connecting rod and a plurality of swing blades, wherein the connecting rod is arranged in a vertical direction, and the plurality of swing blades are arranged along a length direction of the connecting rod to correspond to the plurality of air outlets;

[0019] The swing assembly is configured to control the multiple swing blades to swing synchronously to synchronously adjust the air outlet angles of the multiple air outlets.

[0020] Optionally, the air outlet area and the non-air outlet area are both rectangles with their length directions along the vertical direction as a whole, and the ratio of the width of the air outlet area to the width of the non-air outlet area is between 1.8 and 2.2.

[0021] Optionally, the casing includes a first decorative panel, which is located in the non-air outlet area and extends from the top of the casing to the bottom of the casing for decoration.

[0022] Optionally, the vertical air conditioner indoor unit further includes:

[0023] A display control component, used to display information and receive touch operations; and

[0024] The display and control component is located on the inner side of the first decorative panel, and at least the area of ​​the first decorative panel opposite to the display and control component is made of a transparent or translucent plate material so as to reveal the display information of the display and control component.

[0025] Optionally, the housing further comprises a second decorative panel and a third decorative panel, both of which are used to cover the air outlet area for decoration, and the second decorative panel and the third decorative panel cover the front wall and the lateral side wall of the housing; and

[0026] The plurality of air outlets are located between the second decorative panel and the third decorative panel.

Since the air flow can be blown out directly in the lateral direction through the air outlet, there is no need to rely on the guidance of the crossflow fan structure, which can ensure that sufficient air volume is blown out horizontally.

[0029] Furthermore, the vertical air conditioner indoor unit of the utility model has a plurality of air outlets arranged in a vertical direction, and each air outlet is equipped with a cross-flow fan. Thus, the vertical air conditioner indoor unit can choose to turn on all or part of the cross-flow fans as needed, so that all or part of the air outlets can supply air, making the air supply mode more diverse and enriching the user's choice.

[0030] Furthermore, in the vertical air-conditioning indoor unit of the utility model, in the air guide device corresponding to each air outlet, the movement of the side air guide plate is independent of the front air guide plate, so that the side air guide plate can be independently controlled to open or block the part of the air outlet facing the side. When the vertical air-conditioning indoor unit needs to supply air at a large air outlet angle range, the side air guide plate can be adjusted to an open state so that the airflow is blown out in both the forward and lateral directions. When the vertical air-conditioning indoor unit does not need to discharge air at a large angle, the side air guide plate can be adjusted to a closed state so that the air outlet only discharges air forward, making the air outlet area smaller and enhancing the concentration and strength of the air supply airflow.

[0046] The utility model provides a vertical air conditioner indoor unit. The vertical air conditioner indoor unit is the indoor part of a split vertical air conditioner or the indoor terminal model of a central air conditioner, and is used to adjust the indoor air, specifically, including adjusting the temperature, humidity, air quality of the air, humidifying, dehumidifying, introducing fresh air, etc. The air conditioner can be composed of an evaporator, a condenser, a compressor, a throttling device and other necessary components to form a vapor compression refrigeration cycle system, so as to output cold air / hot air through a fan to achieve cooling and heating of the indoor environment.

[0047] Figure 1 It is a structural schematic diagram of a vertical air-conditioning indoor unit according to an embodiment of the utility model; Figure 2 yes Figure 1 A schematic cross-sectional view of a vertical air conditioner indoor unit is shown.

[0048] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the vertical air-conditioning indoor unit according to the embodiment of the present invention may generally include a casing 10 and a plurality of cross-flow fans 30 .

[0049] The front side of the housing 10 has an air outlet area 101 (an area surrounded by four points ABED) and a non-air outlet area 102 (an area surrounded by four points BCFE) arranged along the horizontal direction of the housing 10. The housing 10 is provided with a plurality of air outlets 12 arranged along the vertical direction in the air outlet area 101. Each air outlet 12 penetrates the front wall and a horizontal side wall (i.e., the left side wall or the right side wall) of the housing 10 so as to supply air to the front and the horizontal side. The direction referred to by "horizontally" in this article has been marked in the figure. For example, in Figures 1 to 5 In the embodiment shown, the air outlet area 101 is arranged on the left side of the non-air outlet area 102, and the air outlet 12 penetrates the left side wall of the housing 10. If the air outlet area 101 is arranged on the right side of the non-air outlet area 102, the air outlet 12 will penetrate the right side wall of the housing 10.

[0050] A plurality of cross-flow fans 30 are disposed in the housing 10, and each cross-flow fan 30 is located opposite to an air outlet 12, so as to blow the air flow inside the housing 10 out through the corresponding air outlet 12. The operation of each cross-flow fan 30 is independently controlled. When the air conditioner opens a certain air outlet 12 for air discharge, the cross-flow fan 30 corresponding to the air outlet 12 can be turned on.

[0051] Specifically, the housing 10 defines a storage space for accommodating the main components of the vertical air conditioner indoor unit, including a cross-flow fan 30, an indoor heat exchanger 20, a controller, and the like. The indoor heat exchanger 20 and the throttling device are connected to the compressor, the outdoor heat exchanger, and other refrigeration elements arranged in the air conditioner outdoor unit through pipelines to form a vapor compression refrigeration cycle system. The compressor is usually a rolling rotor compressor. The throttling device may include a capillary tube and an electronic expansion valve. For a heat pump air conditioner, the vapor compression refrigeration cycle system also includes a four-way valve for switching the air conditioner between a cooling mode and a heating mode.

[0052] For a heat pump air conditioner, in cooling mode, the heat exchanger plays the role of an evaporator. In heating mode, the indoor heat exchanger 20 plays the role of a condenser. The casing 10 may be provided with an air inlet 11 for introducing indoor air. The casing 10 is also defined with an air duct 18. Under the action of the cross-flow fan 30, the indoor air enters the interior of the casing 10 through the air inlet 11, and after completing forced convection heat exchange with the indoor heat exchanger 20, a heat exchange airflow is formed, which is guided by the air duct 18 and blown out from the outlet of the air duct 18. The casing 10 is usually in an upright columnar shape as a whole, and its cross section may be square, rectangular, cylindrical, elliptical or other shapes. The air inlet 11 is usually arranged at the back of the casing 10.

[0053] In the vertical air conditioner indoor unit of the embodiment of the utility model, the front side of the casing 10 has an air outlet area 101 and a non-air outlet area 102 arranged along the transverse direction of the casing 10, and multiple air outlets 12 are arranged in the air outlet area 101 and penetrate the front wall and a transverse side wall of the casing 10, so that the air outlet 12 deviates from the transverse center of the casing 10, forming an offset structure of the air outlet 12. In the existing vertical air conditioner indoor units, whether it is a circular air outlet or a rectangular air outlet, it is arranged in the transverse center of the casing 10, so that the front shape of the casing 10 forms a left-right symmetrical shape, which has become a fixed mindset. The utility model offsets the air outlet, and the structure is novel and unique, making the product more competitive in appearance. Since the non-air outlet area 102 has a complete strip area from the top to the bottom of the casing 10, it is convenient to carry out various decorative designs.

[0054] In addition, in the vertical air conditioner indoor unit of the embodiment of the utility model, the air outlet 12 not only penetrates the front wall of the housing 10, but also penetrates a lateral side wall of the housing 10, so that the air outlet 12 can not only send air forward, but also send air laterally, so that the air outlet angle range of the air outlet 12 is larger. Since the outlet air flow can be blown out directly in the lateral direction through the air outlet 12, there is no need to rely on the guidance of the guide crossflow fan 30 structure, and sufficient air volume can be guaranteed to be blown out laterally.

[0055] In addition, the vertical air conditioner indoor unit of the embodiment of the utility model has a plurality of air outlets 12 arranged in the vertical direction, and each air outlet 12 is provided with a cross-flow fan 30. In this way, the vertical air conditioner indoor unit can choose to turn on all or part of the cross-flow fans 30 as needed, so that all or part of the air outlets 12 supply air, making the air supply mode more diverse and enriching the user's choice.

[0056] For example, when the air conditioner is running in cooling mode, since the cold air has a high density and tends to sink, the upper air outlet 12 can be opened to allow the cold air to first fill the upper area of ​​the indoor space, and then sink downward under its own gravity to fill the entire room.

[0057] When the air conditioner is running in heating mode, since the hot air has a low density and tends to rise, the lower air outlet 12 can be opened to allow the hot air to first fill the bottom area of ​​the indoor space and then rise to fill the entire room.

[0058] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1As shown, it is preferred that the air outlet area 101 and the non-air outlet area 102 are both rectangular in shape with the length direction along the vertical direction as a whole. In addition, the width ratio of the air outlet area 101 to the non-air outlet area 102 is between 1.8 and 2.2, for example, set to 1.8, 1.9, 2.0, 2.1, 2.2. More preferably, it is set to between 1.9 and 2.1. This setting makes the dividing line (BE) between the air outlet area 101 and the non-air outlet area 102 at or approximately at the golden section point in the width direction of the front wall of the casing 10, making the appearance of the front side of the casing 10 more coordinated and beautiful.

[0059] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 As shown, the housing 10 may include a first decorative panel 14. The first decorative panel 14 is located in the non-air outlet area 102 and extends from the top of the housing 10 to the bottom of the housing 10 for decoration. The first decorative panel 14 may be a vertical rectangular panel, such as Figure 1 Since the first decorative panel 14 is a whole panel extending from the top of the housing 10 to the bottom of the housing 10 , it is convenient to carry out decorative design on it, such as pattern design, decoration by using special materials, and so on.

[0060] Furthermore, in some embodiments of the present invention, the vertical air conditioner indoor unit further includes a display control component 70, referring to Figure 5 . The display control component 70 is used to display information and receive touch operations. The information displayed by the display control component 70 may be operating parameters of the air conditioner, such as temperature, humidity, wind speed, wind direction, etc. The received touch operations are touch operations for users to adjust the operating parameters of the air conditioner, such as adjusting the temperature, humidity, wind speed, wind direction, and turning the machine on and off. The display control component 70 is connected to the controller signal of the air conditioner to realize the functions of displaying information and receiving touch operations. The specific principles and structures are well known to those skilled in the art and will not be repeated here.

[0061] The display control component 70 is located on the inner side of the first decorative panel 14, and at least the area of ​​the first decorative panel 14 opposite to the display control component 70 is made of a transparent or translucent sheet material, so as to reveal the display information of the display control component 70. Only the area of ​​the first decorative panel 14 opposite to the display control component 70 may be made of a transparent or translucent sheet material. Alternatively, the entire first decorative panel 14 may also be made of a transparent or translucent sheet material.

[0062] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 As shown, the housing 10 further includes a second decorative panel 15 and a third decorative panel 16, both of which are used to cover the air outlet area 101 for decoration, and the second decorative panel 15 and the third decorative panel 16 cover the front wall and the lateral side wall of the housing 10. A plurality of air outlets 12 are located between the second decorative panel 15 and the third decorative panel 16.

[0063] In some embodiments of the present invention, the second decorative panel 15 and the third decorative panel 16 can be distinguished from the first decorative panel 14 in terms of appearance and pattern, so as to distinguish the air outlet area 101 from the non-air outlet area 102, thereby enhancing the visual effect of the functional zoning on the front side of the vertical air conditioner indoor unit. Figure 1 As shown, the outer surface of the first decorative panel 14 can be made a smooth surface, and the outer surfaces of the second decorative panel 15 and the third decorative panel 16 can have a vertical stripe decorative structure.

[0064] Furthermore, the height of the second decorative panel 15 can be made smaller than the height of the third decorative panel 16. Preferably, the ratio of the height of the third decorative panel 16 to the height of the second decorative panel 15 is between 2.5 and 3.5, and further preferably is set between 2.8 and 3.2, so that the front appearance of the casing 10 is more coordinated and beautiful.

[0065] Figure 3 yes Figure 2 The schematic diagram of the vertical air conditioner indoor unit shown is when the front air guide plate 52 and the side air guide plate 51 are both opened; Figure 4 yes Figure 2 The schematic diagram of the vertical air conditioner indoor unit shown is when the side air guide plate 51 is in the closed state. Figure 3 and Figure 4 The wind direction of the air outlet 12 is indicated by an arrow.

[0066] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the vertical air-conditioning indoor unit further includes a plurality of air guide devices 50 , and each air guide device 50 matches an air outlet 12 .

[0067] Specifically, each air guide device 50 includes at least one front air guide plate 52 and at least one side air guide plate 51, which are used to open and close the air outlet 12 and guide the air outlet direction of the air outlet 12. Each front air guide plate 52 is located on the front side of the casing 10, and each side air guide plate 51 is located on a lateral side of the casing 10. Figure 2 The diagram shows a state where the front air guide plate 52 and the side air guide plate 51 jointly close the air outlet 12 .

[0068] The number of the front air guide plate 52 can be one or more. The number of the side air guide plates 51 can be one or more. Figure 1 In the illustrated embodiment, the portion of the air outlet 12 that passes through the front wall of the casing 10 is wider, and the portion that passes through the side wall of the casing 10 is narrower, so only one side air guide plate 51 is provided, and multiple front air guide plates 52 are provided, so that the side air guide plates 51 and the front air guide plates 52 are closer in the width direction, so that the vertical air conditioner indoor unit is more coordinated in appearance.

[0069] In some embodiments, in each air guide device 50, the movement of each side air guide plate 51 is independent of each front air guide plate 52. That is, the movement of the side air guide plate 51 is not affected by the front air guide plate 52. In this way, the side air guide plate 51 can be independently controlled to open or block the sideward portion of the air outlet 12. When the vertical air conditioner indoor unit needs to deliver air at a large air outlet angle range, the side air guide plate 51 can be adjusted to an open state so that the airflow is blown out in the forward and lateral directions at the same time, such as Figure 3 When the vertical air conditioner indoor unit does not need to discharge air at a large angle, the side air guide plate 51 can be adjusted to a closed state so that the air outlet 12 only discharges air forward, making the air outlet area of ​​the air outlet 12 smaller and enhancing the concentration and strength of the air supply airflow. Figure 4 .

[0070] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the movement of each front air deflector 52 and each side air deflector 51 is independently controlled, that is, the operation of each front air deflector 52 is not affected by other front air deflectors 52 and side air deflectors 51, and the operation of each side air deflector 51 is not affected by other side air deflectors 51 and front air deflectors 52. In this way, the air outlet adjustment mode can be further enriched. Of course, in other embodiments, multiple front air deflectors 52 can also be moved synchronously, for example, they can rotate synchronously.

[0071] Figure 5 yes Figure 1 Schematic diagram of the exploded view of the indoor unit of the vertical air conditioner.

[0072] In some embodiments, Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, each front air guide plate 52 can be rotatably arranged around its own vertical axis, and each side air guide plate 51 can be rotatably arranged around its own vertical axis. Figure 5 As shown, for the uppermost wind guide device 50, the rotation axis of the side wind guide plate 51 is x1, and the rotation axes of the three front wind guide plates 52 are x2, x3 and x4 respectively. The side wind guide plate 51 and each front wind guide plate 52 are each equipped with a motor to drive the rotation thereof.

[0073] In other embodiments, the side air guide plate 51 or the front air guide plate 52 may be moved in other forms. For example, the side air guide plate 51 may be arranged to be movable back and forth.

[0074] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 5As shown, the vertical air conditioner indoor unit further includes a swing assembly 60. The swing assembly 60 includes a connecting rod 61 and a plurality of swing blades 62, the connecting rod 61 is arranged in the vertical direction, and the plurality of swing blades 62 are arranged along the length direction of the connecting rod 61 to correspond to the plurality of air outlets 12. The swing assembly 60 is configured to controllably make the plurality of swing blades 62 swing synchronously to synchronously adjust the air outlet angles of the plurality of air outlets 12. For example, the plurality of swing blades 62 are synchronously swung up and down to synchronously adjust the upper and lower air outlet angles of the plurality of air outlets 12, that is, to adjust the angle between the air outlet airflow and the horizontal plane.

[0075] Specifically, each swing blade 62 is hinged to the connecting rod 61, and the swing wind assembly 60 includes a motor 63. The motor 63 drives a rocker to swing, so that the rocker drives the connecting rod 61 to reciprocate along its length direction, so that the connecting rod 61 drives multiple swing blades 62 to swing synchronously.

[0076] In this embodiment, multiple air outlets 12 share one swing assembly 60, but each air outlet 12 is not matched with a swing assembly. This is because the designers took into account that the embodiment of the utility model already has multiple air outlets 12 arranged vertically, and the distribution of the air flow in the height direction of the indoor space can be adjusted by opening and closing multiple air outlets 12. Therefore, the role of the swing blade 62 assembly mainly used for up and down swinging is weakened. If each air outlet 12 is matched with a swing assembly, each swing assembly needs to be equipped with a motor and needs to be independently controlled, which is more expensive and the control logic is more complicated. This embodiment is only equipped with one swing assembly 60, which can save costs and simplify control.

[0077] like Figure 5 As shown, the indoor unit of the vertical air conditioner also includes an indoor heat exchanger 20. The indoor heat exchanger 20 can include a plurality of sub-heat exchangers 21, and each sub-heat exchanger 21 corresponds to a cross-flow fan 30. The plurality of sub-heat exchangers 21 can be connected to the vapor compression refrigeration cycle system in parallel. The air conditioner decides whether to enable each sub-heat exchanger 21 according to the opening and closing conditions of each air outlet 12. Specifically, when a certain air outlet 12 is opened, the sub-heat exchanger 21 and the cross-flow fan 30 corresponding to the air outlet 12 are enabled. The vapor compression refrigeration cycle system can control whether the refrigerant flows through each sub-heat exchanger 21 through a plurality of solenoid valves. The specific principles and structures are well known to those skilled in the art and will not be repeated here.

[0078] In some embodiments, Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the number of air outlets 12 and cross-flow fans 30 can be two. The motor 31 of the cross-flow fan 30 located at the upper side is located at the upper side, and the motor 31 of the cross-flow fan 30 located at the lower side is located at the lower side. Such a design can make the interval between the two cross-flow fans 30 smaller, thereby making the distance between the two air outlets 12 smaller. When the two air outlets 12 are fully opened, the air supply airflows of the two are closer and the integration is better.

[0079] At this point, those skilled in the art should recognize that, although multiple exemplary embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described in detail herein, many other variations or modifications that conform to the principles of the present invention can still be directly determined or derived from the contents disclosed in the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of the present invention should be understood and recognized as covering all such other variations or modifications.
