[0040] Furthermore, the first plate 110 is located at the air inlet side of the air guide device 10, and the second plate 130 is located at the air outlet side of the air guide device 10. That is, when the air guide device 10 guides air, the airflow enters the air guide space 150 from the first air outlet hole 120 on the first plate 110, and is blown into the room from the air guide space 150 through the second air outlet hole 140 of the second plate 130.

[0041] In some embodiments of the present invention, the functional module 20 includes a box body having a receiving space communicated with the air guide space 150 , and the receiving space is used to receive a release material capable of releasing a substance.

[0042] In this embodiment, the functional module 20 has a containing space connected to the wind guide space 150 , so that the released material in the containing space is diffused toward the wind guide space 150 and is blown into the room by the airflow in the wind guide space 150 .

[0043] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 As shown, a placement opening 40 is opened on the first plate body 110 or the second plate body 130 , and the placement opening 40 is a channel for the released objects to enter the accommodating space.

[0044] In this embodiment, the placement opening 40 is disposed on the first plate body 110 or the second plate body 130. When the released objects in the accommodation space are completely released, the released objects are replenished into the accommodation space through the placement opening 40. The replenishment of the released objects can be achieved without disassembling the air guide device 10, making the replenishment of the released objects simpler and more convenient, thereby improving the user experience.

[0045] Furthermore, the placement opening 40 is provided on the second plate body 130. The box body is connected to the surface of the second plate body 130 facing the first plate body 110, and extends along the length direction of the second plate body 130.

[0053] In this embodiment, the first air outlet 120 and the second air outlet 140 are arranged in a staggered manner. When the air guide device 10 guides air, the airflow is blown out from the first air outlet 120, dispersed in the air guide interval 150, and then flows out through the second air outlet 140. The air guide device 10 with double-layer micropores converts strong wind into soft wind, achieving a windless feeling, preventing the strong wind blown by the air conditioner from directly blowing on the user, thereby improving the user's experience.

[0054] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 2 As shown, the intersection circle formed by the extended surface of the peripheral wall of the first air outlet 120 and the surface of the second plate body 130 facing the first plate body 110 is spaced apart from the end of the second air outlet 140 on the surface of the second plate body 130 facing the first plate body 110, so that the first air outlet 120 and the second air outlet 140 are staggered.

[0055] In this embodiment, the first air outlet 120 and the second air outlet 140 are completely staggered. After the airflow passes through the first air outlet 120, it blows to the surface of the second plate 130 facing the first plate 110, and the surface of the second plate 130 reduces the speed of the airflow. The airflow flows in the air guide space 150, and flows out from the second air outlet 140 when it flows to the second air outlet 140. The strong wind is converted into soft wind by the completely staggered first air outlet 120 and second air outlet 140, so as to avoid the strong wind blown out from the first air outlet 120 directly blowing out from the second air outlet 140, and prevent the strong wind blown out by the air conditioner from directly blowing on the user, thereby improving the user experience.

[0056] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a plurality of first air outlet holes 120 are arranged in a matrix on the first plate 110. A plurality of second air outlet holes 140 are arranged in a matrix on the second plate 130.

[0057] In this embodiment, the first air outlet holes 120 and the second air outlet holes 140 arranged in a matrix form reasonably utilize the space of the first plate body 110 and the second plate body 130, so that more first air outlet holes 120 are arranged on the first plate body 110, and more second air outlet holes 140 are arranged on the second plate body 130, thereby improving the wind dispersing effect of the air guide device 10, achieving a windless feeling when the air conditioner is discharged, and improving the user experience. In addition, the first air outlet holes 120 and the second air outlet holes 140 are arranged in a matrix, which has a more neat and beautiful appearance, and can reduce the production cost of the air guide device 10.

[0058] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 As shown, a blocking structure 50 is disposed between the edge of the first plate body 110 and the edge of the second plate body 130 , and the blocking structure 50 is a flange formed on the edge of the first plate body 110 .

[0059] In this embodiment, a blocking structure 50 is provided between the edge of the first plate body 110 and the edge of the second plate body 130 to prevent the airflow and the released substances after passing through the first air outlet 120 from being blown out from the edge of the air guide space 150. The blocking structure 50 is a flange formed on the edge of the first plate body 110, which is easy to manufacture when producing the air guide device 10, thereby reducing the production cost of the air guide device 10.

[0060] In some embodiments of the present invention, the first air outlet hole 120 is a circular hole, a square hole or a polygonal hole. The second air outlet hole is a circular hole, a square hole or a polygonal hole.

[0061] In this embodiment, the first air outlet 120 and the second air outlet 140 are at least one of a circular hole, a square hole, or a polygonal hole. The shapes of the first air outlet 120 and the second air outlet 140 are only some specific examples of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the protection scope of the present invention. The shapes of the first air outlet 120 and the second air outlet 140 may also be arc-shaped, semicircular, etc.

[0062] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 2 As shown, the first air outlet 120 and the second air outlet 140 have the same shape.

[0063] In this embodiment, the first air outlet 120 and the second air outlet 140 have the same shape, which facilitates the arrangement of the first air outlet 120 and the second air outlet 140, avoids the airflow blown out of the first air outlet 120 from being directly blown out from the second air outlet 140, prevents strong wind from blowing directly on the user, and improves the user experience.

[0064] Furthermore, if Figure 2 As shown, the first air outlet hole 120 and the second air outlet hole 140 are both circular holes.

[0065] In some embodiments of the present invention, the shape of at least one first air outlet hole 120 is different from the shape of the second air outlet hole 140 .

[0068] In this embodiment, after the airflow passes through the first air outlet 120, the wind speed is reduced after being dispersed by the air guide interval 150. The area of ​​the second air outlet 140 is larger than the area of ​​the first air outlet 120, so that the airflow in the air guide interval 150 flows out of the second air outlet 140 faster, reducing the loss of airflow, preventing the air volume and cooling capacity of the air conditioner from being greatly reduced, and thus improving the user experience.

[0069] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 4 As shown, the first plate 110 and the second plate 130 are arranged in parallel. A wind dispersing protrusion is arranged at a position of the second plate 130 directly opposite to the first air outlet 120, and the wind dispersing protrusion includes a wind dispersing portion 610 with a small head end and a large bottom end, and the head end of the wind dispersing portion 610 faces the center of the end of the first air outlet 120 on the surface of the first plate 110 facing the second plate 130.

[0070] In this embodiment, a wind dispersing protrusion is provided at the position of the second plate 130 facing the first air outlet 120. The airflow is blown out from the first air outlet 120 and blown onto the wind dispersing protrusion, and then flows along the surface of the wind dispersing protrusion, and then blown out through the second air outlet 140, so as to realize the air outlet of the air conditioner without feeling. Through the wind dispersing protrusion, the airflow is diffused to the surrounding of the wind dispersing protrusion, so as to improve the dispersing effect of the strong wind, realize the air outlet of the air conditioner without feeling of wind, and then improve the user experience.
