However, when the air inlet of the air conditioner is clogged, the air outlet will be affected. For example, the air outlet volume will be greater than the air intake volume. At this time, the air conditioner will cause abnormal noise caused by surging, which reduces the user experience. Utility Model Content

[0004] The problem solved by the utility model is how to improve the technical problem in the prior art that the air inlet of the air conditioner is dirty and blocked, resulting in surging and then causing abnormal noise that affects the user experience.

[0005] In order to solve the above problems, the utility model provides an air conditioner, comprising:

[0007] An air outlet frame is provided on the air conditioner body, and an air outlet for air outlet is provided on the air outlet frame;

[0008] A wind shield, disposed at at least one end of the air outlet and shielding a portion of the air outlet area of ​​the air outlet;

[0009] Wherein, the wind shield plate and the air outlet frame are integrally formed.

[0010] The beneficial effects of the air conditioner provided by the utility model compared with the prior art include:

[0011] In the case where the air inlet of the air conditioner is clogged and the air inlet volume is reduced, since a wind shield is provided at at least one end of the air outlet, the air outlet volume can be reduced by the wind shield, thereby making the air outlet volume equal to the air inlet volume, avoiding the air outlet volume being greater than the air inlet volume, thereby avoiding surging and causing abnormal noise. Based on this, the air conditioner provided by the utility model can improve the technical problem in the prior art that the air inlet of the air conditioner is clogged and causes surging, thereby causing abnormal noise that affects the user experience.

[0012] Optionally, at least one of the wind shields is provided with a plurality of ventilation holes.

[0013] Providing ventilation holes on the wind shield can, on the one hand, prevent the air volume from being greatly affected and ensure that the air outlet has sufficient air volume; on the other hand, the through holes can make the temperatures on the opposite sides of the wind shield equal, avoiding the formation of condensation on the wind shield.

[0014] Optionally, a plurality of mutually parallel wind guide strips are further provided in the air outlet, and the wind shield plate and the plurality of wind guide strips are integrally formed.

[0015] By forming the wind guide strip and the wind shield plate in one piece, the wind shield plate and the wind guide strip can be manufactured at the same time when the air outlet frame is manufactured, thereby reducing the difficulty of manufacturing the wind shield plate.

[0016] Optionally, the wind shield plate and the plurality of wind guide strips are located in the same plane.

[0017] The wind shield and the wind guide strip are arranged on the same plane, which can reduce the difficulty of manufacturing the wind shield and further reduce the manufacturing cost.

[0018] Optionally, the wind shield is in the shape of a flat plate.

[0019] The windshield is in a flat plate shape, so that the structure of the windshield is simple and easy to manufacture.

[0020] Optionally, two ends of the wind shield are respectively connected to the inner side walls of the air outlet.

[0021] Optionally, the windward side of the wind shield is recessed to form a groove.

[0022] Forming a groove on the windward side of the wind shield can, on the one hand, reduce the thickness of the main part of the wind shield, which is beneficial to the temperature balance on the opposite sides of the wind shield and avoids the generation of condensation; on the other hand, the groove faces the wind, which is beneficial to the airflow passing through the through hole.

[0023] Optionally, wind shields are provided at both ends of the air outlet.

[0024] Wind shields are provided at both ends of the air outlet, which can effectively reduce the air volume and thus improve the problem of abnormal noise caused by surging.

[0025] Optionally, an open area for airflow to pass through is defined between the two wind shields.

[0026] An open area for air flow to pass through is defined between the two wind shields, which means that no gap for air flow to pass through is formed on the side of the two wind shields away from each other, thereby avoiding affecting the air flow from the air outlet and ensuring smooth air flow from the open area.

[0027] Optionally, the air conditioner further comprises a wind wheel, and the two wind shields correspond to two ends of the axial direction of the wind wheel respectively.

[0028] The wind shields correspond to the two ends of the wind wheel, thereby limiting the wind output range of the wind wheel and reducing the air output, thereby solving the technical problem of abnormal noise caused by surge. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0036] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and understandable, the specific embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0037] See also Figure 1 In the embodiment of the present application, an air conditioner 10 is provided, which is used to be installed in a designated area and provide air conditioning to the designated area to improve the air quality in the designated area, thereby improving the comfort of users in the designated area. The air conditioner 10 provided in the present embodiment can improve the technical problem in the prior art that the air inlet of the air conditioner 10 is dirty and blocked, resulting in surging and abnormal noise that affects the user experience.

[0038] It is worth noting that in the present embodiment, the air conditioner 10 refers to an air conditioner indoor unit, that is, the air conditioner 10 is installed in the indoor space and is used to connect to an air conditioner outdoor unit in an environment outside the designated area. During the operation of the air conditioner 10, air can be discharged into the designated area to achieve the purpose of providing air conditioning to the designated area. Optionally, in the present embodiment, the air conditioner 10 is an air conditioner cabinet unit for illustration. Among them, when the air conditioner 10 is normally placed in the designated area, the gravity direction of the air conditioner 10 is the vertical direction, and the direction perpendicular to the gravity direction is the horizontal direction.

[0039] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The air conditioner 10 includes an air conditioner body 100, an air outlet frame 200 and a wind shield 300. Among them, the air conditioner body 100 is provided with a fan, a wind wheel 400, a heat exchanger and a control module to realize the basic functions of the air conditioner 10, which are all prior arts and are not described here. The air outlet frame 200 is arranged on the air conditioner body 100, and an air outlet 201 for air outlet is opened on the air outlet frame 200; wherein, in this embodiment, the air outlet 201 is in a vertical state. The wind shield 300 is arranged at least at one end of the air outlet 201, and blocks part of the air outlet area of ​​the air outlet 201. That is to say, the wind shield 300 is arranged on at least one end of the air outlet 201 in the vertical direction, so as to block the air outlet area of ​​the air outlet 201 through the air guide plate, and the air outlet volume of the air outlet 201 can be reduced. Further, the wind shield 300 is integrally formed with the air outlet frame 200.

[0040] As described above, when the air inlet of the air conditioner 10 is clogged and the air inlet volume is reduced, since the wind shield 300 is provided at at least one end of the air outlet 201, the air outlet volume of the air outlet 201 can be reduced by the wind shield 300, so that the air outlet volume is equal to the air inlet volume, avoiding the air outlet volume being greater than the air inlet volume, and avoiding surging and abnormal noise. Based on this, the air conditioner 10 provided by the utility model can improve the technical problem in the prior art that the air inlet of the air conditioner 10 is clogged and causes surging, and the abnormal noise causes an impact on the user experience.

[0041] In addition, the wind shield 300 and the air outlet frame 200 are formed in one piece, so that the wind shield 300 can be manufactured while the air outlet frame 200 is manufactured, thereby reducing the manufacturing difficulty of the wind shield 300 and reducing the manufacturing cost.

[0042] It should be noted that at least one end is provided with a wind shield 300 means that the wind shield 300 can be provided at only one end of the air outlet 201, for example, the wind shield 300 is provided at the top of the air outlet 201; for another example, the wind shield 300 is provided at the bottom of the air outlet 201; or the wind shield 300 can be provided at both ends of the air outlet 201. Preferably, in this embodiment, both ends of the air outlet 201 are provided with wind shields 300, which can effectively reduce the air volume, thereby improving the problem of abnormal noise caused by surging.

[0043] Optionally, see Figure 4 The air conditioner 10 further includes a wind wheel 400, and two wind shields 300 correspond to the two ends of the axial direction of the wind wheel 400. The wind shields 300 correspond to the two ends of the wind wheel 400, so as to limit the wind outlet range of the wind wheel 400, reduce the air outlet volume, and improve the technical problem of abnormal noise caused by surge. Since the wind outlet range of the wind wheel 400 can be regarded as the range limited by the two ends of the wind wheel 400, the wind shields 300 are set corresponding to the two ends of the wind wheel 400, so as to reduce the wind outlet area of ​​the wind wheel 400, so as to reduce the air outlet volume.

[0044] Optionally, see Figure 1 and Figure 3 In this embodiment, at least one windshield 300 is provided with a plurality of ventilation holes 310. Providing ventilation holes 310 on the windshield 300 can, on the one hand, prevent the air volume from being greatly affected and ensure that the air outlet 201 has a sufficient air volume; on the other hand, the through holes can be used to make the temperatures on the two opposite sides of the windshield 300 equal, thereby preventing condensation from forming on the windshield 300.

[0045] It is worth noting that “at least one wind shield 300 is provided with a plurality of ventilation holes 310” means that, when only one wind shield 300 is provided in the air outlet area of ​​the air outlet 201, the wind shield 300 is provided with ventilation holes 310; when wind shields 300 are provided at both ends of the air outlet area of ​​the air outlet 201, ventilation holes 310 may be provided on only one wind shield 300, or ventilation holes 310 may be provided on both wind shields 300. When two wind shields 300 are provided, and ventilation holes 310 are provided on only one wind shield 300, preferably, the ventilation holes 310 are provided on the upper wind shield 300, such as Figure 3 In addition, preferably, when two wind shields 300 are provided, ventilation holes 310 are provided on the two wind shields 300. Figure 1 .

[0046] In this embodiment, the ventilation holes 310 are opened in a direction perpendicular to the wind shield 300, so that the air outlet direction of the ventilation holes 310 is roughly the same as the air outlet direction of the air outlet 201, avoiding air turbulence and improving the air outlet effect.

[0047] Optionally, in this embodiment, a plurality of mutually parallel air guide strips 210 are further provided in the air outlet 201, and the wind shield 300 and the plurality of air guide strips 210 are all integrally formed. The provision of the air guide strips 210 can improve the overall strength of the air outlet frame 200, and since the plurality of air guide strips 210 are all connected to the wind shield 300, the purpose of improving the overall strength of the wind shield 300 can be achieved. In addition, by integrally forming the air guide strips 210 and the wind shield 300, the wind shield 300 and the air guide strips 210 can be simultaneously manufactured when the air outlet frame 200 is manufactured, which can reduce the difficulty of manufacturing the wind shield 300.

[0048] In addition, in this embodiment, the air guide strips 210 are disposed inside the air outlet 201 , and a plurality of air guide strips 210 are crisscrossed to form a grid shape.

[0049] Furthermore, the wind shield 300 and the plurality of wind guide strips 210 are located in the same plane. The wind shield 300 and the wind guide strips 210 are arranged in the same plane, which can reduce the difficulty of manufacturing the wind shield 300, thereby reducing the manufacturing cost. In addition, when the wind shield 300 and the wind guide strips 210 are arranged in the same plane, it is convenient to avoid the wind guide plate outside the air outlet 201, so as to prevent the wind shield 300 from affecting the rotation of the wind guide plate.

[0050] In this embodiment, the wind shield 300 is in a flat plate shape. The wind shield 300 is in a flat plate shape, so that the structure of the wind shield 300 is simple and easy to manufacture. In addition, setting the wind shield 300 in a flat plate shape is also convenient for avoiding the wind guide plate outside the air outlet 201.

[0051] In this embodiment, both ends of the wind shield 300 are respectively connected to the inner wall of the air outlet 201. The wind shield 300 is directly integrated on the inner wall of the air outlet 201 by one-piece molding, which can reduce the difficulty of manufacturing the wind shield 300 on the one hand, and ensure the overall strength of the wind shield 300 on the other hand.

[0052] In addition, since the wind shield 300 is integrated on the inner wall of the air outlet 201 in an integrally formed manner, the problem of deformation of the wind shield 300 caused by welding or the like can be avoided.

[0053] In this example, see Figure 5The windward side of the windshield 300 is sunken to form a groove 320. The groove 320 formed on the windward side of the windshield 300 can reduce the thickness of the main part of the windshield 300, which is beneficial to the temperature balance on the two sides of the windshield 300 and avoids the generation of condensation; on the other hand, the groove 320 faces the wind, which is beneficial for the airflow to pass through the through hole. In the case where the windshield 300 is formed with the groove 320, the cross section of the wind guide plate on the vertical plane is U-shaped.

[0054] In this embodiment, an open area for airflow to pass through is defined between the two wind shields 300. The open area for airflow to pass through is defined between the two wind shields 300, which means that no gap for airflow to pass through is formed on the side of the two wind shields 300 that are away from each other, thereby avoiding affecting the airflow of the air outlet 201 and ensuring smooth airflow in the open area.

[0055] In summary, in the air conditioner 10 provided in the embodiment of the present application, when the air inlet of the air conditioner 10 is blocked due to dirt and the air inlet volume is reduced, since a wind shield 300 is provided at at least one end of the air outlet 201, the air outlet volume of the air outlet 201 can be reduced by the wind shield 300, so that the air outlet volume is equal to the air inlet volume, so as to avoid the air outlet volume being greater than the air inlet volume, and thus avoid the occurrence of surging and abnormal noise. Based on this, the air conditioner 10 provided by the utility model can improve the technical problem of the air inlet of the air conditioner 10 being blocked due to dirt and the abnormal noise affecting the user experience in the prior art. In addition, the ventilation hole 310 is provided on the wind shield 300, which can avoid the air outlet volume from being greatly affected on the one hand, and can ensure that the air outlet 201 has sufficient air outlet volume; on the other hand, the through hole can be used to make the temperature of the opposite sides of the wind shield 300 equal, so as to avoid the formation of condensation on the wind shield 300.

[0056] Although the utility model is disclosed as above, the utility model is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of the utility model shall be subject to the scope defined by the claims.
