In addition, features defined as "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of such features. In the description of the present utility model, unless otherwise specified, "multiple" means two or more.

[0043] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installation", "connection" and "connection" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection, or it can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal communication of two components. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0044] The air conditioner 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0045] like Figure 1-Figure 8 As shown, the air conditioner 10 according to the embodiment of the utility model includes: a housing 2 and a panel 3.

[0046] Specifically, refer to Figure 1-Figure 8 The shell 2 has a main air duct 21 and a main air outlet 22 connected to the main air duct 21; the panel 3 is arranged on the shell 2 and is located on one side of the width direction of the main air outlet 22. An air outlet duct 23 is defined between the panel 3 and the shell 2. The air outlet duct 23 is connected to the main air duct 21. At least a part of the panel 3 is a swirl plate 1, which is used to rotate the airflow passing through the swirl plate 1.

[0047] It should be noted that the housing 2 is used to form the overall appearance of the air conditioner 10. The housing 2 is also provided with an air inlet, and the position of the air inlet is not limited, as long as the air inlet is connected to the main air duct 21. For example, the air inlet can be provided at the top of the housing 2. The housing 2 is also provided with a heat exchanger assembly 6 and a fan 5, etc. The heat exchanger assembly 6 is used to perform heat exchange with the airflow passing through its surface, and the fan 5 is used to drive the airflow from the air inlet to the main air outlet 22. During the specific operation of the air conditioner 10, the outside air will enter the housing 2 from the air inlet, and after the heat exchange effect of the heat exchanger assembly 6, under the action of the fan 5, the outside air will flow to the main air outlet 22 through the main air duct 21 and blow out of the air conditioner 10, thereby ensuring the air supply function of the air conditioner 10.

[0048] It can be understood that the outlet duct 23 is connected to the main air duct 21, and at least a part of the panel 3 is a swirl plate 1, so that the air flow can not only flow out from the main air outlet 22, but also flow out through the main air duct 21, the outlet duct 23 and the panel 3 in sequence, thereby increasing the air outlet range of the air conditioner 10, thereby improving the cooling and heating efficiency of the air conditioner 10.

[0049] Furthermore, when the air conditioner 10 delivers air, since at least part of the panel 3 is the swirl plate 1, the airflow inside the air conditioner 10 can flow out of the air conditioner 10 through the rotation of the swirl plate 1. The airflow changes its direction and generates rotation under the rotation of the swirl plate 1, thereby improving the turbulent state of the airflow during the flow process, reducing the airflow velocity, and improving the smoothness of the airflow. After the airflow is blown out from the panel 3, it will not blow directly to the user, so that the air conditioner 10 can achieve a windless air outlet effect, thereby improving the user's comfort and experience.

[0050] According to the air conditioner 10 of the embodiment of the utility model, an air outlet duct 23 is defined between the panel 3 and the shell 2, and the air outlet duct 23 is connected to the main air duct 21. At least a part of the panel 3 is a swirl plate 1, and the swirl plate 1 is used to rotate the airflow passing through the swirl plate 1. As a result, the airflow can not only flow out from the main air outlet 22, but also flow out through the main air duct 21, the air outlet duct 23 and the panel 3 in sequence, thereby increasing the air outlet range of the air conditioner 10, thereby improving the cooling and heating efficiency of the air conditioner 10. At the same time, the airflow flows out of the air conditioner 10 through the rotation of the swirl plate 1, so that the airflow will not be blown directly to the user after being blown out from the panel 3, and the windless air outlet effect of the air conditioner 10 can be achieved, which improves the user's comfort and experience.

[0051] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the swirl air guide plate 4 includes a swirl layer 11 and a grille layer 12. The swirl layer 11 is used to rotate the airflow passing through the swirl layer 11. The airflow passing through the swirl air guide plate 4 will change its flow direction and form a swirl under the action of the swirl layer 11, so that the air inlet direction of the airflow entering the swirl layer 11 is inconsistent with the air outlet direction leaving the swirl layer 11, and the airflow is converted from straight wind to swirl wind, thereby improving the turbulent state of the airflow during the flow process. At the same time, it can reduce the airflow velocity and improve the smoothness of the airflow flow, so that the airflow will not be directly blown to the user after passing through the swirl air guide plate 4, thereby improving the comfort of the air outlet 22.

[0052] Among them, Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, along the flow direction of the airflow, the grille layer 12 and the swirl layer 11 are stacked and connected. The grille layer 12 and the swirl layer 11 can be detachably connected, for example, the grille layer 12 and the swirl layer 11 can be connected by means of snap connection or screw connection, which is simple to assemble and convenient for disassembly and maintenance. The grille layer 12 is used to break up the airflow passing through the grille layer 12. When the air conditioner 10 is blowing air, the airflow flowing to the main air outlet 22 first passes through the swirl layer 11 to be converted from straight wind to swirl wind, and then the swirl wind is further broken up by the grille layer 12 to form an airflow dispersion flow, further improving the turbulent state of the airflow during the flow process, making the airflow blown out from the main air outlet 22 flow softer, which can improve the comfort of the air outlet, and thus help to achieve a windless effect and enhance the user experience.

[0053] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the grille layer 12 includes a grille plate 121, and a plurality of spaced ventilation holes 1211 are provided on the grille plate 121. The ventilation holes 1211 can break up and refine the airflow passing through the grille plate 121, so that the airflow is converted into a finer air flow, and the airflow passing through the grille plate 121 can also be more uniform, delicate and soft, which is conducive to the airflow flowing out of the grille layer 12 to achieve a windless effect, so as to improve the user experience.

[0054] It should be noted that the cross-sectional shape of the ventilation hole 1211 can be circular, triangular, square or honeycomb, etc., and the specific shape is not limited here. Figure 6 and Figure 8 In the example shown, the ventilation hole 1211 is a circular hole with a circular cross section, which has a simple structure and is easy to process. Furthermore, multiple ventilation holes 1211 can be arranged in an array on the grille plate 121, so that as many ventilation holes 1211 as possible can be arranged on the grille plate 121 under the premise of ensuring a certain structural strength of the grille plate 121, and sufficient ventilation can be ensured while not affecting the grille plate 121 from breaking up the airflow, thereby ensuring the air volume of the main air outlet 22.

[0055] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 5-Figure 8As shown, the swirl layer 11 includes a swirl layer 11 body and a swirler 112. The swirl layer 11 body is provided with a plurality of spaced mounting holes 1111. Each mounting hole 1111 is provided with a swirler 112. The swirler 112 is used to rotate the airflow passing through the swirler 112. The swirler 112 is located in the mounting hole 1111 and is connected and fixed to the swirl layer 11 body. The swirler 112 can be integrally formed with the swirl layer 11 body, or can be fixed to the swirl layer 11 body by welding, bonding, crimping, etc. It can be understood that the swirler 112 can change the flow direction of the airflow and generate rotation, so that the airflow in the air inlet direction entering the swirler 112 is inconsistent with the air outlet direction leaving the swirler 112, and the airflow is converted from straight wind to swirl wind, thereby improving the turbulent state of the airflow during the flow process, and at the same time can reduce the airflow velocity, improve the flexibility of the airflow flow, and improve the comfort of the air outlet 22.

[0056] The mounting hole 1111 is circular in shape, and the shape and size of the swirler 112 match the mounting hole 1111 , which is conducive to the rotation of the airflow passing through the swirler 112 .

[0057] In this embodiment, the mounting holes 1111 are arranged in a plurality of intervals along the length direction of the swirl layer 11 body, the cyclones 112 are arranged in a plurality corresponding to the mounting holes 1111, and the positions of the cyclones 112 correspond to the mounting holes 1111, thereby increasing the excess air volume of the swirl layer 11 while ensuring a certain structural strength of the swirl layer 11 body, thereby improving the air outlet efficiency of the air conditioner 10. Figure 5 and Figure 7 In the example shown, there are 9 corresponding mounting holes 1111 and cyclones 112 spaced apart along the length direction of the cyclone layer 11 body, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and the mounting holes 1111 and cyclones 112 may be other numbers, such as 4, 5, 10 or 12.

[0058] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the swirler 112 includes a first swirl blade 1121, which is a plurality of first swirl blades 1121 arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the mounting hole 1111, each first swirl blade 1121 extends along the radial direction of the mounting hole 1111 and the radial outer end is connected to the inner peripheral wall of the mounting hole 1111, and along the airflow direction, the first swirl blade 1121 is inclined toward one of the circumferential directions of the mounting hole 1111. The first swirl blade 1121 can be integrally formed with the swirl layer 11 body, or fixed to the inner peripheral wall of the mounting hole 1111 by welding, bonding, crimping, etc.

[0059] It can be understood that the inclined first swirl blade 1121 can change the direction of the airflow, and can guide the airflow flowing into the swirler 112 to flow out along the inclined direction of the first swirl blade. At the same time, multiple first swirl blades 1121 are arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the mounting hole 1111. On the one hand, the airflow passing through the swirler 112 can be cut, broken up and diverted by the first swirl blades 1121, which can effectively reduce wind resistance and make the wind output softer. On the other hand, multiple inclined first swirl blades 1121 arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the mounting hole 1111 can change the direction of the airflow flowing into the swirler 112 and generate rotation, converting the airflow from straight wind to swirl wind, improving the turbulent state of the airflow during the flow process, reducing the airflow velocity, and improving the flexibility of the airflow flow, which is conducive to the airflow flowing out of the swirl layer 11 to achieve a windless effect.

[0060] Among them, it should be noted that the cyclone 112 can realize the rotation of the airflow through a plurality of inclined first cyclone blades, without the need to set up an axial flow fan wheel, a fan wheel driving device for driving the axial flow fan wheel to rotate, or a gear rack mechanism for transmitting power and torque, which greatly simplifies the structure of the device for realizing the airflow rotation, thereby reducing the cost of the air conditioner 10 to achieve a windless effect.

[0061] In some embodiments of the utility model, the cyclone plate 1 comprises: a grid layer 12 and a cyclone 112, the grid layer 12 is two layers stacked, the grid layer 12 comprises a grid plate 121, and the grid plate 121 is provided with a plurality of spaced ventilation holes 1211; the cyclone 112 is provided between the two grid layers 12. It should be noted that a plurality of spaced mounting columns may be provided between the two grid layers 12, and the two ends of the mounting column in the length direction are respectively connected to the two grid layers 12, and the mounting column is provided with a mounting hole 1111 penetrating the mounting column along the length direction of the mounting column, and a cyclone 112 is provided in each mounting hole 1111, and the cyclone 112 is connected to the inner peripheral wall of the mounting hole 1111.

[0062] It can be understood that when the air conditioner 10 is blowing air, the airflow is first dispersed initially through the first grille layer 12, and then rotated through the cyclone 112. After the airflow is converted from straight wind to swirl wind, it will pass through the second grille layer 12 to be dispersed and refined again and form a dispersed airflow to be blown out of the main air outlet 22, which can further improve the turbulent state of the airflow flow and make the airflow flow softer, which is beneficial to improving the windless air outlet effect of the air conditioner 10, thereby improving the user's comfort.

[0063] In addition, the two grille layers 12 can simultaneously shield the cyclone 112 , thereby preventing the cyclone 112 from being directly exposed to the outside, thereby improving the appearance of the air conditioner 10 .

[0064] In some embodiments of the present invention, the cyclone 112 includes a first cyclone blade 1121, and the first cyclone blade 1121 is a plurality of first cyclone blades 1121 spaced apart along the circumferential direction of the cyclone 112, and the radial inner ends of the plurality of first cyclone blades 1121 are directly or indirectly connected to each other. It can be understood that the radial inner ends of the plurality of first cyclone blades 1121 are directly connected to each other, thereby simplifying the manufacturing process and improving the production efficiency. At the same time, by directly connecting the radial inner ends of the plurality of first cyclone blades 1121 to each other, the cyclone 112 can be better shielded, thereby preventing the cyclone 112 from being directly exposed to the outside, thereby improving the appearance of the air conditioner 10.

[0065] The indirect connection of the radial inner ends of the plurality of swirl blades can facilitate the connection of the radial inner ends of the plurality of swirl blades to other structures, thereby improving the expandability of the structure.

[0066] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the swirler 112 also includes: a fixing ring 1124, a mounting portion 1123 and a second swirl blade 1122, the fixing ring 1124 is arranged in the mounting hole 1111, and the radial inner end of the first swirl blade 1121 is connected to the outer peripheral wall of the fixing ring 1124; the mounting portion 1123 is arranged in the fixing ring 1124 and is spaced apart from the fixing ring 1124; the second swirl blade 1122 is a plurality of first swirl blades 1121 spaced apart along the circumferential direction of the mounting hole 1111, each first swirl blade 1121 extends along the radial direction of the mounting hole 1111 and the radial outer end is connected to the inner peripheral wall of the fixing ring 1124, and the radial inner end is connected to the outer peripheral wall of the mounting portion 1123, and along the airflow direction, the second swirl blade 1122 is inclined toward one of the circumferential directions of the mounting hole 1111.

[0067] The first swirl blade 1121, the fixing ring 1124, the second swirl blade 1122 and the mounting portion 1123 can be integrally formed or fixedly connected together by welding, bonding, crimping, etc. The fixing ring 1124 is provided to facilitate connecting the first swirl blade 1121 and the second swirl blade 1122, and also serves to divide and divert the airflow, making the airflow softer.

[0068] It should be noted that if Figure 5 and 6In the example shown, the mounting portion 1123 may be cylindrical, the mounting hole 1111 and the fixing ring 1124 may be arranged in a circular shape, and the center line of the mounting portion 1123, the center line of the fixing ring 1124 and the center line of the mounting hole 1111 coincide with each other, so as to facilitate the central symmetry arrangement of the plurality of first swirl blades 1121 and the second swirl blades 1122 in the mounting hole 1111, which is beneficial for the airflow passing through the swirler 112 to rotate around the center of the mounting hole 1111.

[0069] It is understandable that the inclined second swirl blades 1122 can change the direction of the airflow, and can guide the airflow flowing into the swirler 112 to flow out along the inclined direction of the second swirl blade. At the same time, multiple second swirl blades 1122 are arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the mounting hole 1111. On the one hand, the airflow passing through the swirler 112 can be cut, broken up and diverted by the second swirl blades 1122, which can effectively reduce wind resistance and make the wind output softer. On the other hand, multiple inclined second swirl blades 1122 arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the mounting hole 1111 can change the direction of the airflow flowing into the swirler 112 and generate rotation, converting the airflow from straight wind to swirl wind, further improving the turbulent state of the airflow during the flow process, making the airflow flow more flexible, and thus facilitating the airflow flowing out of the swirl layer 11 to achieve a windless effect.

[0070] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the inclination directions of the first swirl blade 1121 and the second swirl blade 1122 are the same or opposite, and the first swirl blade 1121 and the second swirl blade 1122 can respectively guide the airflow flowing into the swirler 112 to flow out along the inclination directions of the first swirl blade 1121 and the second swirl blade 1122. The same inclination direction of the first swirl blade 1121 and the second swirl blade 1122 is conducive to the airflow passing through the swirler 112 to rotate in the same direction. When the inclination directions of the first swirl blade 1121 and the second swirl blade 1122 are opposite, the airflow flowing into the swirler 112 can be guided to flow out in opposite directions, which can further enhance the turbulent state of the airflow during the flow process, reduce the impact of the airflow, and further facilitate the airflow flowing out of the swirl layer 11 to achieve a windless effect.

[0071] In this application, if Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the inclination angles of the first swirl blade 1121 and the second swirl blade 1122 are the same or different. The inclination angles of the first swirl blade 1121 and the second swirl blade 1122 can be the same, which is convenient for processing and production. Of course, the inclination angles of the first swirl blade 1121 and the second swirl blade 1122 can also be different, which can respectively guide the airflow flowing into the swirler 112 to flow out along different inclination angles, which can further enhance the turbulent state of the airflow during the flow process, reduce the impact of the airflow, and thus help to ensure the windless effect.

[0072] In this application, if Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the first swirl blades 1121 of at least two of the multiple swirlers 112 are inclined in the same or opposite directions; the first swirl blades 1121 of at least two of the multiple swirlers 112 are inclined in the same direction, which is conducive to the airflows passing through different swirlers 112 to rotate in the same direction, and is easy to process. The first swirl blades 1121 of at least two of the multiple swirlers 112 are inclined in opposite directions, so that the airflows entering different swirlers 112 can be guided by the first swirl blades 1121 to flow out in different directions and rotate in opposite directions, which can enhance the turbulent state of the airflow passing through the swirl layer 11, reduce the impact of the airflow, and further enhance the windless effect of the airflow flowing out of the swirl layer 11.

[0073] In this application, if Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the inclination direction of the second swirl blades 1122 of at least two of the multiple swirlers 112 is the same or opposite. The inclination direction of the second swirl blades 1122 of at least two of the multiple swirlers 112 is the same, which is conducive to the airflow passing through different swirlers 112 to produce a rotation in the same direction, and is convenient for processing. The inclination directions of the second swirl blades 1122 of at least two of the multiple swirlers 112 are opposite, so that the airflow entering different swirlers 112 can be guided by the second swirl blades 1122 to flow out in different directions and produce rotation in opposite directions, which can enhance the turbulent state of the airflow flowing through the swirl layer 11, reduce the impact of the airflow, and further enhance the windless effect achieved by the airflow flowing out of the swirl layer 11.

[0074] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, the swirler 112 also includes: a fixed ring 1124, a swirl bracket 113 and a swirl impeller 114, the fixed ring 1124 is arranged in the mounting hole 1111, the radial inner end of the first swirl blade 1121 is connected to the outer peripheral wall of the fixed ring 1124; the swirl bracket 113 is connected to the inner peripheral wall of the fixed ring 1124; the swirl impeller 114 is rotatably arranged on the swirl bracket 113, and the swirl impeller 114 is configured to rotate when the airflow passes through the mounting hole 1111.

[0075] It is understandable that by setting the fixing ring 1124, it is convenient to connect the first swirl blade 1121, the swirl bracket 113 and the swirl impeller 114, and it also plays the role of dividing and diverting the airflow, making the airflow softer. The setting of the swirl bracket 113 can prevent the swirl impeller 114 from moving in the mounting hole 1111, so that the swirl impeller 114 can be installed reliably.

[0076] By rotating the swirl impeller 114, the airflow is further broken up and a dispersed airflow is formed, thereby further improving the turbulent state of the airflow flow, making the airflow blown out from the main air outlet 22 flow softer, which can improve the comfort of the air outlet, and further help to achieve a windless effect and enhance the user experience.

[0077] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the swirl impeller 114 includes: an impeller shaft 1141 and impeller blades 1142, and the impeller shaft 1141 is rotatably connected to the swirl bracket 113; the impeller blades 1142 are multiple and spaced apart along the circumferential direction of the impeller shaft 1141, each impeller blade 1142 extends along the radial direction of the impeller shaft 1141 and the radial inner end is connected to the impeller shaft 1141, and along the airflow direction, the impeller blades 1142 are inclined toward one of the circumferential directions of the impeller shaft 1141.

[0078] It is understandable that the inclined impeller blades 1142 can change the direction of the airflow, and can guide the airflow flowing into the cyclone 112 to flow out along the inclined direction of the impeller blades 1142. At the same time, multiple impeller blades 1142 are arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the mounting hole 1111. On the one hand, the airflow passing through the cyclone 112 can be cut, broken up and diverted by the impeller blades 1142, which can effectively reduce wind resistance and make the air flow softer. On the other hand, multiple inclined impeller blades 1142 arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the mounting hole 1111 can change the direction of the airflow flowing into the cyclone 112 and generate rotation, converting the airflow from straight wind to swirl wind, improving the turbulent state of the airflow during the flow process, reducing the airflow velocity, and improving the flexibility of the airflow flow, which is conducive to the airflow flowing out of the swirl layer 11 to achieve a windless effect.

[0079] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the first swirl blade 1121 and the impeller blade 1142 have the same or opposite inclination directions; the first swirl blade 1121 and the impeller blade 1142 can respectively guide the airflow flowing into the swirler 112 to flow out along the inclination directions of the first swirl blade 1121 and the impeller blade 1142. The same inclination direction of the first swirl blade 1121 and the impeller blade 1142 is conducive to the airflow passing through the swirler 112 to rotate in the same direction. When the inclination directions of the first swirl blade 1121 and the impeller blade 1142 are opposite, the airflow flowing into the swirler 112 can be guided to flow out in the opposite direction, which can further enhance the turbulent state of the airflow during the flow process, reduce the impact of the airflow, and further facilitate the airflow flowing out of the swirl layer 11 to achieve a windless effect.

[0080] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the first swirl blade 1121 and the impeller blade 1142 have the same or different inclination angles; the first swirl blade 1121 and the impeller blade 1142 can have the same inclination angles, which is convenient for processing and production. Of course, the first swirl blade 1121 and the impeller blade 1142 can also have different inclination angles, which can respectively guide the airflow flowing into the swirler 112 to flow out along different inclination angles, further enhance the turbulent state of the airflow during the flow process, reduce the impact of the airflow, and thus help to ensure the effect of no wind feeling.

[0081] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the first swirl blades 1121 of at least two of the multiple swirlers 112 are inclined in the same or opposite directions; the first swirl blades 1121 of at least two of the multiple swirlers 112 are inclined in the same direction, which is conducive to the airflows passing through different swirlers 112 to rotate in the same direction, and is easy to process. The first swirl blades 1121 of at least two of the multiple swirlers 112 are inclined in opposite directions, so that the airflows entering different swirlers 112 can be guided by the first swirl blades 1121 to flow out in different directions and rotate in opposite directions, which can enhance the turbulent state of the airflow passing through the swirl layer 11, reduce the impact of the airflow, and further enhance the windless effect of the airflow flowing out of the swirl layer 11.

[0082] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, the impeller blades 1142 of at least two of the multiple cyclones 112 are inclined in the same or opposite directions. The impeller blades 1142 of at least two of the multiple cyclones 112 are inclined in the same direction, which is conducive to the airflows passing through different cyclones 112 to rotate in the same direction, and is easy to process. The impeller blades 1142 of at least two of the multiple cyclones 112 are inclined in opposite directions, so that the airflows entering different cyclones 112 can be guided by the impeller blades 1142 to flow out in different directions and rotate in opposite directions, which can enhance the turbulent state of the airflow passing through the swirl layer 11, reduce the impact of the airflow, and further enhance the windless effect of the airflow flowing out of the swirl layer 11.

[0083] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the swirl bracket 113 includes: a fixing portion 1131 and connecting spokes 1132, the fixing portion 1131 is arranged in the fixing ring 1124 and is spaced apart from the fixing ring 1124, and the swirl impeller 114 is rotatably connected to the fixing portion 1131; there are a plurality of connecting spokes 1132 spaced apart along the circumferential direction of the fixing portion 1131, each connecting spoke 1132 extends along the radial direction of the fixing portion 1131, the radial inner end of each connecting spoke 1132 is connected to the outer peripheral wall of the fixing portion 1131, and the radial outer end of each connecting spoke 1132 is connected to the inner peripheral wall of the fixing ring 1124.

[0084] It can be understood that the swirl impeller 114 is rotatably connected to the fixing portion 1131, so that the swirl impeller 114 can be restricted from moving in the radial direction and the axial direction of the mounting hole 1111, thereby improving the installation stability of the swirl impeller 114. The arrangement of the connecting spokes 1132 enables the fixing portion 1131 to be connected to the fixing ring 1124, thereby improving the structural strength of the fixing portion 1131, thereby further improving the installation stability of the swirl impeller 114.

[0085] For example, Figure 7 and Figure 8 In the example shown, there are three connecting spokes 1132 , but the present invention is not limited thereto, and there may be more connecting spokes 1132 , such as 4, 5, 6 or 7.

[0086] In some embodiments of the present invention, the swirl impellers 114 are multiple and are stacked along the axial direction of the swirl impellers 114. As a result, the airflow can be dispersed by the multiple swirl impellers 114, so as to further improve the turbulent state of the airflow, make the airflow flow softer, and help improve the windless air outlet effect of the air conditioner 10, thereby improving the comfort of the user.

[0087] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 5-Figure 8 As shown, the cyclone 112 and the main body of the cyclone layer 11 are integrated, which is beneficial to enhancing the structural stability of the cyclone layer 11, while reducing the number of assembly parts of the cyclone layer 11, simplifying the assembly process of the cyclone air guide plate 4, and thus improving assembly efficiency.

[0088] In this application, if Figure 5-Figure 8 As shown, a plurality of mounting holes 1111 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the swirl layer 11 body. The swirl layer 11 body is preferably in the shape of a long strip, and the mounting holes 1111 are arranged along the length direction of the swirl layer 11 body. The structure layout is reasonable, and the number of mounting holes 1111 can be increased while maintaining a certain structural strength of the swirl layer 11 body, thereby increasing the air flow of the swirl layer 11 and improving the air outlet efficiency of the air conditioner 10. At the same time, the air flow can be uniformly passed along the length direction of the swirl layer 11 body, ensuring the air outlet range of the main air outlet 22 in the length direction.

[0089] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, the outlet duct 23 is connected to one end of the main duct 21 near the main air outlet 22. As a result, the airflow from the main duct 21 flows more efficiently to the outlet duct 23 and the main air outlet 22, thereby improving the air outlet efficiency and the cooling and heating efficiency of the air conditioner 10.

[0090] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, at least one of the two end faces of the housing 2 along the length direction of the main air outlet 22 is provided with a side air outlet 24 connected to the air outlet duct 23. Figure 1-Figure 4 In the example shown, side air outlets 24 connected to the air outlet duct 23 are provided on both end surfaces of the shell 2 along the length direction of the main air outlet 22, but the utility model is not limited to this. Side air outlets 24 connected to the air outlet duct 23 may also be provided on one of the end surfaces of the shell 2 along the length direction of the main air outlet 22.

[0091] It can be understood that the side air outlet 24 is connected to the air outlet duct 23, so that the airflow can not only flow out of the air conditioner 10 from the main air duct 21 through the main air outlet 22, but also flow out of the air conditioner 10 from the main air duct 21 through the air outlet duct 23 and the panel 3, and also flow out of the air conditioner 10 from the main air duct 21 through the air outlet duct 23 and the side air outlet 24. Thus, the air outlet range of the air conditioner 10 is further improved, thereby further improving the cooling and heating efficiency of the air conditioner 10.

[0092] At the same time, since the side air outlet 24 is located on at least one of the two end surfaces of the housing 2 along the length direction of the main air outlet 22, the air flow can flow out of the air conditioner 10 from different directions. For example, in the present utility model, the main air outlet 22 is located at the front side of the housing 2, and the length direction of the main air outlet 22 is the left-right direction, so that the air flow can not only flow out from the front side of the air conditioner 10, but also flow out from at least one of the left and right sides of the air conditioner 10. As a result, the air outlet range of the air conditioner 10 is further improved, thereby further improving the cooling and heating efficiency of the air conditioner 10.

[0093] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, the air conditioner 10 further includes: an air guide plate 4, which is rotatably arranged at the main air outlet 22 to open or close the main air outlet 22, and the air guide plate 4 is a swirl plate 1. It should be noted that the air guide plate 4 can change the air guide direction by rotating, so that the air guide plate 4 guides the airflow at the main air outlet 22 in different directions, thereby guiding the airflow at the main air outlet 22 in different directions, enriching the air outlet function and effect of the air conditioner 10, and meeting different air supply requirements of users.

[0094] The air guide plate 4 may be connected to a driving mechanism for driving the air guide plate 4 to rotate. For example, the driving mechanism may be a driving motor. By providing a rotating shaft on the air guide plate 4 and connecting the driving shaft of the driving motor to the rotating shaft, the driving motor can drive the rotating shaft to rotate and drive the air guide plate 4 to rotate.

[0095] It is understandable that, since the air guide plate 4 is a swirl plate 1, when the air guide plate 4 closes the main air outlet 22 and the air conditioner 10 is still supplying air, the air guide plate 4 works as a swirl plate 1, so that the airflow inside the air conditioner 10 can flow out of the air conditioner 10 through the rotation of the swirl plate 1. The airflow changes its flow direction and generates rotation under the rotation of the swirl plate 1, thereby improving the turbulent state of the airflow during the flow process, reducing the airflow velocity, and improving the smoothness of the airflow. After the airflow is blown out from the main air outlet 22, it will not blow directly to the user, and the air outlet effect of the air conditioner 10 without a wind feeling can be achieved.

[0096] In addition, when the air conditioner 10 is in the default air outlet state, the air guide plate 4 opens the main air outlet 22, so that the air conditioner 10 can outlet air with a wind feeling, thereby meeting the different air outlet needs of users.

[0097] The following describes an air conditioner 10 according to specific embodiments 1 and 2 of the present invention.
