[0048] 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.

[0049] In the present application, the vertical air conditioner indoor unit performs a refrigeration cycle of the air conditioner indoor unit 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.

[0050] The compressor compresses the refrigerant gas at low temperature and low pressure and discharges the refrigerant gas at high temperature and high pressure. The discharged refrigerant gas flows into the condenser. The condenser condenses the compressed refrigerant into liquid phase, and the heat is released to the surrounding environment through the condensation process. The expansion valve expands the liquid phase refrigerant at high temperature and high pressure condensed in the condenser into a low pressure liquid phase refrigerant.

[0051] The indoor heat exchanger evaporates the refrigerant expanded in the expansion valve and returns the refrigerant gas in a low temperature and low pressure state to the compressor. The indoor heat exchanger can achieve a refrigeration effect by utilizing the latent heat of evaporation of the refrigerant to exchange heat with the material to be cooled.

[0052] In the whole cycle, the air conditioner indoor unit can adjust the temperature of the indoor space. The outdoor unit of the air conditioner indoor unit refers to the part of the refrigeration cycle including the compressor and the outdoor heat exchanger, the indoor unit of the air conditioner indoor unit includes the indoor heat exchanger, and the expansion valve can be provided in the indoor unit or the outdoor unit.

[0053] The indoor heat exchanger and the outdoor heat exchanger function as a condenser or an indoor heat exchanger. When the indoor heat exchanger functions as a condenser, the air conditioner indoor unit functions as a heater in a heating mode, and when the indoor heat exchanger functions as an indoor heat exchanger, the air conditioner indoor unit functions as a cooler in a cooling mode.

[0054] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present application will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0055] As attached Figures 1 to 5 As shown, in an illustrative embodiment of the vertical air-conditioning indoor unit of the utility model, the vertical air-conditioning indoor unit includes a shell 100, the top end and the bottom end of the shell 100 are two opposite ends in the length direction of the shell 100, and the shell 100 is provided with a first indoor air inlet 101, an indoor air outlet 102 and a second indoor air inlet 102.

[0056] The vertical air conditioner indoor unit includes a first air duct 200 . The first air duct 200 is disposed in the housing 100 . The first air duct 200 communicates with a first indoor air inlet 101 and an indoor air outlet 102 .

[0057] The vertical air conditioner indoor unit includes a first fan 300 , which is disposed in the first air duct 200 . The first fan 300 has a first air inlet 301 and a first air outlet 302 . The first air inlet 301 is connected to the first indoor air inlet 101 , and the first air outlet 302 is connected to the indoor air outlet 102 .

[0058] The vertical air conditioner indoor unit includes an indoor heat exchanger 400, which is arranged in the housing 100 and close to the second indoor air inlet 102. The indoor heat exchanger 400 is used to perform heat exchange on the air passing through it to form a heat exchange airflow. The length direction of the indoor heat exchanger 400 is the same as the length direction of the housing 100. The indoor heat exchanger 400 is detachably connected to the housing 100.

[0059] The vertical air conditioner indoor unit includes a second air duct 500, which is arranged in the shell 100 and is spaced apart from the first air duct 200 along the length direction of the shell 100. The second air duct 500 is located on the side of the indoor heat exchanger 400 away from the second indoor air inlet 102. The second air duct 500 connects the first air duct 200 and the second indoor air inlet 102.

[0060] The vertical air conditioner indoor unit includes a second fan 600, which is arranged in the second air duct 500. The second fan 600 has a second air outlet 601 and a second air inlet 602. The second air inlet 602 is connected to the second indoor air inlet 102, and the second air outlet 601 is connected to the first air duct 200. The heat exchange airflow in the second air duct 500 flows into the first air duct 200 and mixes with the indoor airflow in the first air duct 200. The mixed airflow is output through the indoor air outlet 102.

[0061] The indoor air entering from the first indoor air inlet 101 enters the first air duct 200 under the action of the first fan 300, and the indoor air entering from the second indoor air inlet 102 is heat exchanged through the indoor heat exchanger 400 to form a heat exchange airflow. The heat exchange airflow enters the first air duct 200 under the action of the second fan 600 and mixes with the indoor air in the first air duct 200. The mixed gas is output through the indoor air outlet 102.

[0062] In the prior art, the compressor frequency is reduced, thereby increasing the outlet air temperature during cooling, changing the temperature difference between the outlet air and the ambient temperature, and improving the discomfort caused by the overcooled air blowing on the body. However, this solution actually reduces the capacity of the air conditioner because it reduces the compressor frequency, which is not conducive to the rapid heating of the environment.

[0063] There are also ways to eliminate the feeling of wind, prevent direct blowing, reduce wind speed, etc., by reducing the outlet airflow and passively mixing it with the airflow in the original environment, so as to increase the outlet air temperature during cooling, change the temperature difference between the outlet air and the ambient temperature, and improve the discomfort when the super-cooled wind blows on the body. However, because the outlet airflow is reduced, the capacity of the air conditioner is actually reduced, which is not conducive to the rapid heating of the environment.

[0064] Through the above technical solution, the first air duct 200 introduces natural wind, and the natural wind and the air conditioning heat exchange air are mixed, which will not reduce the compressor frequency and the air outlet air volume, and the air conditioning cooling and heating capacity will not be attenuated. The problem of uncomfortable air outlet temperature is effectively improved, and it will not cause the attenuation of cooling and heating capacity, which greatly improves the user's comfort experience and makes the wind feel uniform and comfortable.

[0065] The first air duct 200 can merge with the heat exchange airflow in the second air duct 500 without a narrow and long air mixing duct, and the non-heat exchange air volume for mixing is larger, and the air mixing effect is better. When the air conditioner is cooling, the outlet air temperature of the second air duct 500 can be significantly increased to avoid the low outlet air temperature during cooling, which blows on the user and creates an uncomfortable experience.

[0066] When the first fan 300 and the second fan 600 work simultaneously, the air discharged by the first fan 300 and the air discharged by the second fan 600 are mixed in the first air duct 200, that is, the first fan 300 and the second fan 600 discharge air through a common air outlet.

[0067] The second fan 600 sends air in the direction of the first fan 300 and enters the first air duct 200. The first air duct 200 provides a certain buffer for the air output of the second fan 600. The air outputs of the first fan 300 and the second fan 600 are mixed in the first air duct 200 and then sent out, making the air output feel comfortable.

[0068] In some embodiments, the shell 100 is vertically arranged, the first indoor air inlet 101 and the second indoor air inlet 102 are opened on the rear side of the shell 100, and the first indoor air inlet 101 is arranged on the upper side of the second indoor air inlet 102.

[0069] After passing through the second indoor air inlet 102, the air is heated or cooled by the indoor heat exchanger 400 and then transported to the first air duct 200 by the second fan 600 and mixed with the indoor air in the first air duct 200. The mixed gas is discharged through the indoor air outlet 102 to change the indoor temperature.

[0070] As attached Figures 6 to 8 As shown, in some embodiments, the vertical air conditioner indoor unit may include an air mixing housing 700, the air mixing housing 700 is disposed in the housing 100, the first fan 300 is disposed in the air mixing housing 700, and the air mixing housing 700 has an air mixing outlet 701, and the air mixing outlet 701 is connected to the indoor air outlet 102. The air mixing outlet 701 is opened on the side of the air mixing housing 700 facing the indoor air outlet 102, and the air mixing outlet 701 is close to the indoor air outlet 102, so that the airflow in the air mixing outlet 701 can pass through the indoor air outlet 102 quickly.

[0071] In some embodiments, a connection port 702 is provided on one side of the air mixing housing 700 facing the second air duct 500 , and the connection port 702 is connected to the second air outlet 601 . The connection port 702 is disposed opposite to the second air outlet 601 .

[0077] As attached Fig.11 As shown, in some embodiments, the first air outlet 302 is disposed in the air mixing shell 700 , and the first air inlet 301 is disposed outside the air mixing shell 700 , and the indoor air outside the air mixing shell 700 enters the air mixing shell 700 through the first air inlet 301 .

[0078] In some embodiments, the first air outlet 302 and the mixed air outlet 701 are spaced apart, and the distance between the first air outlet 302 and the mixed air outlet 701 facilitates mixing of airflows in the first air duct 200 and the second air duct 500 .

[0079] In some embodiments, the second fan 600 includes a second housing 603 , and a second air outlet 601 and a second air inlet 602 are provided in the housing of the second fan 600 . The second air outlet 601 is arranged toward the first air duct 200 , and the second air inlet 602 is arranged toward the second indoor air inlet 102 .

[0080] The air outlet direction of the second air outlet 601 and the air inlet direction of the second air inlet 602 form a certain angle, so that the second fan 600 drives the wind on the air inlet side away from the first fan 300 and changes the flow direction, and then blows it toward the first fan 300. Therefore, the heat exchange airflow can be better driven and guided, and then converge into the first air duct 200 for mixed air and then sent out, which improves the air mixing effect and concentrates the air outlet.

[0081] The second fan 600 includes a second fan blade 604 . The second fan blade 604 is disposed in the second housing 603 .

[0082] The second fan 600 includes a second driving member, which includes but is not limited to an electric motor. The second driving member is disposed in the second housing 603 , and drives the second fan blade 604 to rotate.

[0083] When the first fan 300 is not rotating, the indoor air entering from the second indoor air inlet 102 is heat exchanged through the indoor heat exchanger 400 to form a heat exchange airflow. The heat exchange airflow enters the first air duct 200 under the action of the second fan 600 and is output through the indoor air outlet 102.

[0084] In some embodiments, the first fan 300 is an axial flow fan, and the second fan 600 is a centrifugal fan. The first fan 300 is disposed between the first indoor air inlet 101 and the indoor air outlet 102 .

[0085] In some embodiments, the first fan 300 is disposed above the second fan 600 , and the space layout in the housing 100 is reasonable and compact, thereby improving the space utilization rate in the housing 100 .

[0086] In some embodiments, a wind shield 800 is further included, and the wind shield 800 is disposed on a side of the second fan 600 close to the second indoor air inlet 102, and is used to prevent airflow from entering the side of the second fan 600 away from the second indoor air inlet 102.

[0087] In some embodiments, a mounting portion 900 is provided between the first air duct 200 and the second air duct 500 , the mounting portion 900 is connected to the wind shield 800 and is located on a side of the wind shield 800 facing the second air inlet 602 , and the indoor heat exchanger 400 is installed on the mounting portion 900 .

[0088] An air cavity is enclosed between the mounting portion 900, the second housing 603 and the wind shield portion 800 and the housing, and indoor air enters the air cavity from the second indoor air inlet 102 for heat exchange. The heat exchange airflow can only enter the second housing 603 through the second air inlet 602, and under the action of the second fan 600, enters the first air duct 200 from the second air outlet 601.

Since the air outlet intensity of the axial flow fan is large and the air outlet distance is long, the air outlet of the axial flow fan quickly drives the air outlet of the centrifugal fan to mix in the first air duct 200. Therefore, when the two winds are blown toward the indoor air outlet 102, they not only have the effect of long-distance air supply, but also have a greater dispersion when the air is discharged, so that the air outlet and air supply range at the edge of the indoor air outlet 102 is larger and the wind feels comfortable.

[0092] When the first fan 300 is a fan of different types, a variety of air outlet modes can be formed to meet a variety of air outlet requirements.

[0093] In some embodiments, the first fan 300 is a diagonal flow fan, and the second fan 600 is a centrifugal fan. Similarly, the diagonal flow fan blows the wind on its air inlet side to the first air duct 200 at a certain centrifugal speed and axial speed, while the centrifugal fan quickly throws the wind on its corresponding air inlet side into the air outlet side of the first fan 300. The two winds are superimposed, mixed, and form a turbulent flow in the first air duct 200, and blown toward the indoor air outlet 102, which can also form an outlet with a certain air supply distance, and the wind feels comfortable and has a wide air supply range.

[0094] In addition, the present application also provides a vertical air-conditioning indoor unit, which includes a shell 100, the top and bottom ends of the shell 100 are two opposite ends in the length direction of the shell 100, and the shell 100 is provided with a first indoor air inlet 101, an indoor air outlet 102 and a second indoor air inlet 102.

[0095] The vertical air conditioner indoor unit includes an indoor heat exchanger 400, which is arranged in the housing 100 and close to the first indoor air inlet 101. The indoor heat exchanger 400 is used to exchange heat with the air passing through it to form a heat exchange airflow.

[0097] The indoor heat exchanger 400 is arranged on the air inlet side of the first air duct 200. The indoor heat exchanger 400 forms a negative pressure cavity in the first air duct 200. The negative pressure cavity enables the external wind to undergo sufficient heat exchange when passing through the indoor heat exchanger 400, and the heat exchange is fast and the air inlet volume is large.

[0098] After the air has been heat exchanged in the indoor heat exchanger 400 and enters the negative pressure chamber, it is mixed in the first air duct 200 under the drive and guidance of the first fan 300 and the second fan 600, and is finally delivered to the outside from the indoor air outlet 102, providing a comfortable wind feeling.

[0099] The vertical air conditioner indoor unit includes a first fan 300 , which is disposed in the first air duct 200 . The first fan 300 has a first air inlet 301 and a first air outlet 302 .

[0101] The vertical air conditioner indoor unit includes a second fan 600, which is arranged in the shell 100. The second fan 600 has a second air outlet 601 and a second air inlet 602. The second air inlet 602 is connected to the second indoor air inlet 102, and the second air outlet 601 is connected to the first air duct 200. The heat exchange airflow in the second air duct 500 flows into the first air duct 200 and mixes with the indoor airflow in the first air duct 200. The mixed airflow is output through the indoor air outlet 102.

[0102] The indoor air entering from the first indoor air inlet 101 is heat exchanged through the indoor heat exchanger 400 to form a heat exchange airflow. The heat exchange airflow enters the first air duct 200 under the action of the first fan 300. The indoor air entering from the second indoor air inlet 102 enters the first air duct 200 under the action of the second fan 600 and mixes with the indoor air in the first air duct 200. The mixed gas is output through the indoor air outlet 102.

[0103] Through the above technical solution, the second air duct 500 introduces natural wind, and the natural wind and the air conditioning heat exchange air are mixed, which will not reduce the compressor frequency and the air outlet volume, and the air conditioning cooling and heating capacity will not be attenuated. It effectively improves the problem of uncomfortable air outlet temperature and will not cause the attenuation of cooling and heating capacity, greatly improving the user's comfort experience.
