Of course, they are merely examples, and the purpose is not to limit the utility model. In addition, the utility model can repeat reference numbers and / or letters in different examples.

In addition, the utility model provides various specific examples of processes and materials, but those of ordinary skill in the art can be aware of the applicability of other processes and / or the use of other materials.

[0035] The air conditioner 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0036] According to the air conditioner 100 of the embodiment of the present utility model, Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the air conditioner 100 comprises: an air conditioner body 1 and a lower air outlet control component 2, the air conditioner body 1 has a main air outlet 1a, a lower air outlet 1b and a fresh air outlet 1c, the lower air outlet 1b is lower than the main air outlet 1a, and the air conditioner body 1 has a main air duct 11 connected to the main air outlet 1a, and a fresh air duct 12 connected to the fresh air outlet 1c. The lower air outlet control component 2 is provided on the air conditioner body 1, and is used to switch one of the main air duct 11 and the fresh air duct 12 to be connected to the lower air outlet 1b.

[0037] The air conditioner body 1 is provided with a main air duct 11 connected with the main air outlet 1a, and a fresh air duct 12 connected with the fresh air outlet 1c. The heat exchange airflow generated by the air conditioner 100 flows through the main air duct 11 and can be sent out from the main air outlet 1a to participate in indoor temperature regulation; the fresh air flows through the fresh air duct 12 and can be sent out from the fresh air outlet 1c to perform air circulation, improve indoor air quality, and increase freshness and exhaust.

[0038] The lower air outlet 1b of the air conditioner 100 in the embodiment of the utility model can be selectively connected to the main air duct 11 and the fresh air duct 12, so that the air conditioner 100 can achieve multi-mode air supply to meet the needs of different scenes. The functionality of the air conditioner 100 is strong.

[0039] like Figure 2 As shown, when the lower air outlet 1b is connected to the main air duct 11, the heat exchange airflow generated by the air conditioner 100 can flow to the lower air outlet 1b through the main air duct 11, and the lower air outlet 1b and the main air outlet 1a both deliver the heat exchange airflow to the room. The lower air outlet 1b is set lower than the main air outlet 1a, and the air conditioner 100 delivers the heat exchange airflow to the room through the lower air outlet 1b and the main air outlet 1a, which can increase the air supply range of the air conditioner 100 in the vertical direction and improve the air supply effect of the air conditioner 100. Exemplarily, when the air conditioner 100 exchanges heat in the room, the lower air outlet 1b and the main air outlet 1a jointly deliver hot air. Compared with only delivering air through the main air outlet 1a, the amount of hot air delivered downward can be increased, and the hot air is first delivered to the feet, so that the feet are warmed, the situation of hot head and cold feet is improved, and the steady-state thermal comfort of the human body is improved.

[0040] The fresh air duct 12 and the main air duct 11 work independently of each other. When the lower air outlet 1b is connected to the main air duct 11, the fresh air duct 12 may or may not deliver fresh air.

[0041] Alternatively, if Figure 2 As shown, when the lower air outlet 1b is connected to the main air duct 11, the fresh air duct 12 can work, the lower air outlet 1b and the main air outlet 1a both deliver heat exchange air to the room, and the fresh air outlet 1c delivers fresh air to the room. The dotted line with an arrow in the figure indicates the direction of air flow. While adjusting the indoor temperature, the indoor air quality can be improved to make the indoor air fresher.

[0042] Also optionally, when the lower air outlet 1b is connected to the main air duct 11, the fresh air duct 12 may not work, the lower air outlet 1b and the main air outlet 1a both deliver heat exchange airflow to the room, the fresh air outlet 1c does not output air, and the air conditioner 100 adjusts the indoor temperature alone.

[0043] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, when the lower air outlet 1b is connected to the fresh air duct 12, the fresh air in the fresh air duct 12 can flow to the lower air outlet 1b, and the lower air outlet 1b and the fresh air outlet 1c jointly transport fresh air to the room, which is beneficial to increase the amount of fresh air transported to the room, accelerate the indoor air circulation, and improve the indoor air quality.

[0044] Alternatively, if Figure 3 As shown, when the lower air outlet 1b is connected to the fresh air duct 12, the main air duct 11 may not work, the lower air outlet 1b and the fresh air outlet 1c jointly deliver fresh air to the room, and the main air outlet 1a does not blow air. The dotted line with an arrow in the figure indicates the direction of air flow. The air conditioner 100 delivers fresh air alone to adjust the indoor air quality.

[0045] Alternatively, if Figure 4 As shown, when the lower air outlet 1b is connected to the fresh air duct 12, the main air duct 11 can work, the lower air outlet 1b and the fresh air outlet 1c jointly deliver fresh air to the room, and the main air outlet 1a delivers heat exchange airflow to the room. The dotted line with an arrow in the figure indicates the direction of airflow movement. While adjusting the indoor temperature, it can improve the indoor air quality and make the indoor air fresher.

[0046] It is worth noting that the air conditioner 100 Figure 2 The air supply mode shown is Figure 4 The air supply modes shown in the figure are to supply fresh air to the room while adjusting the indoor temperature to improve the indoor air quality. Figure 2 When the air is supplied in the mode shown, the amount of fresh air delivered to the room is small, and the air conditioner 100 has a larger heat exchange air flow delivery range in the vertical direction, while the air conditioner 100 has a larger heat exchange air flow delivery range in the surrounding area. Figure 4 When air is supplied in the illustrated mode, a larger amount of fresh air is delivered to the room, so the effect of the air supply of the air conditioner 100 is different.

[0047] The utility model provides a lower air outlet 1b and a lower air outlet control component 2 so that the lower air outlet 1b can be switched to be connected to one of the main air duct 11 and the fresh air duct 12, and the lower air outlet 1b can be switched between conveying heat exchange airflow and conveying fresh air, and one lower air outlet 1b can meet the air supply requirements of the main air duct 11 and the fresh air duct 12. Compared with providing corresponding air outlets in the air conditioner corresponding to the respective air supply requirements of the main air duct and the fresh air duct, the air conditioner 100 of the utility model embodiment can reduce the number of air outlets opened on the housing of the air conditioner 100, simplify the structure of the air conditioner 100, and reduce the manufacturing difficulty of the air conditioner 100.

[0048] In addition, by setting up the lower air outlet control component 2 and the lower air outlet 1b, the lower air outlet 1b can be switched to be connected to one of the main air duct 11 and the fresh air duct 12, and the lower air outlet 1b can be switched between conveying heat exchange airflow and conveying fresh air. The lower air outlet 1b cooperates with the main air outlet 1a or the fresh air outlet 1c to supply air, and the air conditioner 100 can realize multi-mode air supply, thereby meeting the needs of different scenarios.

[0049] According to the air conditioner 100 of the embodiment of the utility model, by providing the lower air outlet control component 2 and the lower air outlet 1b, the lower air outlet 1b can be switched to be connected with one of the main air duct 11 and the fresh air duct 12, the lower air outlet 1b can be switched between conveying the heat exchange airflow and conveying the fresh air, the lower air outlet 1b cooperates with the main air outlet 1a or the fresh air outlet 1c to deliver air, and one lower air outlet 1b can meet the air supply requirements of the main air duct 11 and the fresh air duct 12, without having to provide corresponding air outlets in the air conditioner 100 corresponding to the respective air supply requirements of the main air duct 11 and the fresh air duct 12. Thus, the setting of the air outlets of the air conditioner 100 can be reduced, the structure of the air conditioner 100 can be simplified, and the manufacturing difficulty of the air conditioner 100 can be reduced.

[0050] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the air conditioner body 1 includes a connecting air duct 13 connected to the lower air outlet 1b, the connecting point of the connecting air duct 13 and the main air duct 11 forms a first connecting port 131, the connecting point of the connecting air duct 13 and the fresh air duct 12 forms a second connecting port 132, and the lower air outlet control component 2 is used to switch one of the first connecting port 131 and the second connecting port 132 to open.

[0051] The connecting air duct 13 is connected to the main air duct 11, and is also connected to the fresh air duct 12, that is, the connecting air duct 13 is connected between the lower air outlet 1b, the main air duct 11 and the fresh air duct 12. The lower air outlet control component 2 can make the connecting air duct 13 only connected to the main air duct 11, or make the connecting air duct 13 only connected to the fresh air duct 12.

[0052] like Figure 2As shown, when the lower air outlet control component 2 makes the connecting air duct 13 only connected to the main air duct 11, that is, when the first connecting port 131 is controlled to be open, the lower air outlet component controls the connecting air duct 13 to be isolated from the fresh air duct 12, that is, controls the second connecting port 132 to be closed. The heat exchange airflow generated by the air conditioner 100 can flow to the connecting air duct 13 through the main air duct 11, and then flow to the lower air outlet 1b. The lower air outlet 1b and the main air outlet 1a both transport the heat exchange airflow to the room. The fresh air flows through the fresh air duct 12 and is only sent out from the fresh air outlet 1c.

[0053] like Figure 4 As shown, when the lower air outlet control component 2 makes the connecting air duct 13 communicate only with the fresh air duct 12, that is, when the second connecting port 132 is controlled to be open, the lower air outlet component controls the connecting air duct 13 to be isolated from the main air duct 11, that is, controls the first connecting port 131 to be closed. The heat exchange airflow generated by the air conditioner 100 flows through the main air duct 11 and is only delivered from the main air outlet 1a. The fresh air can flow to the connecting air duct 13 through the fresh air duct 12, and then flow to the lower air outlet 1b. The lower air outlet 1b and the fresh air outlet 1c both deliver fresh air to the room.

[0054] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 5 As shown, the lower air outlet control component 2 includes a driving device 21 and a rotary valve 22. The driving device 21 is used to drive the rotary valve 22 to rotate between a first position and a second position. Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the valve 22 is rotated in the first position to close the first communication port 131 and open the second communication port 132, as shown in FIG. Figure 2 As shown, the valve 22 is rotated at the second position to close the second communication port 132 and open the first communication port 131 .

[0055] The driving device 21 provides power for the rotation of the rotary valve 22. The rotary valve 22 rotates between a first position closing the first communication port 131 and a second position closing the second communication port 132. The rotary valve 22 has a simple motion form and high working reliability.

[0056] Moreover, the rotating valve 22 can realize opening the second communicating port 132 while closing the first communicating port 131, and opening the first communicating port 131 while closing the second communicating port 132. Only one rotating valve 22 is provided to meet the requirement of switching one of the main air duct 11 and the fresh air duct 12 to communicate with the lower air outlet 1b. The rotating valve 22 has a simple structure and high working reliability, and can save the manufacturing cost of the air conditioner 100.

[0057] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, the rotary valve 22 is rotatably disposed in the connecting air duct 13. When the rotary valve 22 is in the first position and the second position, it is located in the connecting air duct 13. The rotation of the rotary valve 22 is not interfered by other components in the air conditioner body 1, which can improve the working reliability of the rotary valve 22.

[0058] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the air conditioner body 1 includes an air outlet frame 14 and a front frame 15, the front frame 15 is arranged on the front side of the air outlet frame 14, the first connecting port 131 is defined between the air outlet frame 14 and the front frame 15, the second connecting port 132 is formed on the air outlet frame 14, and the rotary valve 22 is rotatably arranged between the air outlet frame 14 and the front frame 15.

[0059] The connection between the ventilation duct 13 and the main air duct 11 is formed between the air outlet frame 14 and the front frame 15, and the connection between the ventilation duct 13 and the fresh air duct 12 is formed on the air outlet frame 14. Figure 4 As shown, the connecting air duct 13 is formed between the air outlet frame 14 and the front frame 15 , and the rotary valve 22 is rotatably disposed in the connecting air duct 13 .

[0060] The first communication port 131 is defined between the air outlet frame 14 and the front frame 15. Figure 2 As shown, the connecting air duct 13 is formed between the air outlet frame 14 and the front frame 15 , and at least a portion of the main air duct 11 is formed between the air outlet frame 14 and the front frame 15 , that is, the main air duct 11 is connected to the connecting air duct 13 .

[0061] The second communication port 132 is formed on the air outlet frame 14. Figure 4 As shown, the air outlet end of the fresh air duct 12 is connected to the air outlet frame 14 or the air outlet end of the fresh air duct 12 is arranged adjacent to the air outlet frame 14 so that the fresh air duct 12 is connected to the connecting air duct 13 .

[0062] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 5 As shown, the rotary valve 22 includes a heat insulating member 221 and a support member 222 supporting the heat insulating member 221. In the first position, the heat insulating member 221 blocks the first connecting port 131, and the heat insulating member 221 surrounding the entire circumference of the first connecting port 131 is sealed with the air outlet frame 14 and the front frame 15.

[0063] The support member 222 plays a supporting role, the heat insulating member 221 is arranged on the support member 222, and the driving device 21 drives the support member 222 to rotate.

[0064] On the one hand, the heat insulating member 221 can play a heat insulating role. When the rotary valve 22 is in the first position, the main air duct 11 and the connecting air duct 13 are isolated. The main air duct 11 is used to transport the heat exchange airflow. Therefore, no matter whether the connecting air duct 13 transports fresh air at this time, there must be a temperature difference between the connecting air duct 13 and the main air duct 11. And when the air conditioner 100 is exchanging heat, the temperature of the heat exchange airflow in the main air duct 11 is often quite different from the indoor temperature and the outdoor temperature. By setting the heat insulating member 221, the heat exchange between the main air duct 11 and the connecting air duct 13 can be reduced, thereby reducing the occurrence of the situation where the air with higher temperature in the main air duct 11 and the connecting air duct 13 is cooled and liquefied to form condensation. By setting the heat insulating member 221, the condensation generated on the rotary valve 22 can be reduced, thereby improving the situation where the condensation gathered on the rotary valve 22 is collected and dripped into the air conditioner body 1, and improving the working stability of the air conditioner 100.

[0065] On the other hand, the thermal insulation member 221 can also play a sealing role. When the rotating valve 22 is in the first position, the thermal insulation member 221 surrounding the entire circumference of the first connecting port 131 is sealed with the air outlet frame 14 and the front frame 15, which can improve the situation in which the heat exchange airflow in the main air duct 11 escapes from the first connecting port 131 into the fresh air duct 12 when the rotating valve 22 closes the first connecting port 131.

[0066] The heat insulating member 221 is disposed on one side of the support plate close to the first connecting port 131 . The heat insulating member 221 not only functions when the rotary valve 22 is located at the first position, but also functions as a heat insulator when the rotary valve 22 is located at the second position.

[0067] When the rotary valve 22 is in the first position, the fresh air duct 12 and the connecting air duct 13 are isolated. At this time, the connecting air duct 13 can be used to transport the heat exchange airflow, and there will be a temperature difference between the connecting air duct 13 and the fresh air duct 12. The heat insulation 221 on the support plate can reduce the heat exchange between the fresh air duct 12 and the connecting air duct 13, thereby reducing the generation of condensation on the rotary valve 22, thereby improving the situation where the condensation gathered on the rotary valve 22 is collected and dripped into the air conditioner body 1, and improving the working stability of the air conditioner 100.

[0068] In some embodiments of the present invention, the edge of the support member 222 has a flange to form a receiving groove for receiving the thermal insulation member 221 in the support member 222 , thereby improving the stability of the thermal insulation member 221 installed on the support member 222 .

[0069] In some embodiments of the utility model, the heat insulating member 221 is a heat insulating cotton. The heat insulating cotton has good heat insulating and sealing effects, and is light in weight. Being arranged on the support member 222 can reduce the influence on the rotation of the support member 222, and the working reliability of the rotating valve 22 is strong.

[0070] In some embodiments of the present invention, the heat insulating member 221 is thermal insulation cotton, and the thermal insulation cotton is adhesively connected to the support member 222.

[0071] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, the driving device 21 includes a driving motor 211 and a mounting seat 212 that supports the driving motor 211 , and the mounting seat 212 is installed on the rear side of the air outlet frame 14 .

[0072] The mounting seat 212 plays a role of mounting and supporting. The driving motor 211 generates driving force to rotate the valve 22. The driving motor 211 is mounted on the mounting seat 212. The mounting seat 212 and the driving motor 211 are mounted on the rear side of the air outlet frame 14. The front frame 15 is arranged on the front side of the air outlet frame 14, so the connecting air duct 13 is formed on the front side of the air outlet frame 14. The mounting seat 212 and the driving motor 211 are arranged on the outside of the connecting air duct 13, thereby reducing the wind resistance in the connecting air duct 13, reducing the interference with the movement of the rotating valve 22 in the connecting air duct 13, and improving the fluidity of the air flow in the connecting air duct 13.

[0073] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 8 and Fig. 9 As shown, the two ends of the length of the rotary valve 22 are respectively provided with a shaft connecting portion 223 and a rotating portion 224. Fig.10 As shown, the mounting seat 212 includes a seat body 2121 and a first end 2122 and a second end 2123 arranged at both ends of the seat body 2121. The driving device 21 includes a driving motor 211 arranged at the first end 2122 and connected to the connecting shaft 223. The rotating part 224 is rotatably supported on the second end 2123.

[0074] The rotary valve 22 is rotatably connected to the mounting seat 212. Both ends of the length of the rotary valve 22 are rotatably matched with the mounting seat 212. The rotary valve 22 rotates with the straight line connecting the connecting shaft portion 223 and the rotating portion 224 as the rotating axis. The connecting shaft portion 223 is matched with the first end portion 2122, and the rotating portion 224 is matched with the second end portion 2123. The driving motor 211 is arranged at the first end portion 2122 and connected to the connecting shaft portion 223.

[0075] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 8 and Fig. 9As shown, the rotary valve 22 includes a heat insulating member 221 and a support member 222 that supports the heat insulating member 221. The connecting shaft portion 223 and the rotating portion 224 are respectively arranged at both ends of the length of the support member 222. The support member 222 plays a role of support and movement. The heat insulating member 221 is arranged on the support member 222, and the driving device 21 drives the support member 222 to rotate.

[0076] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 As shown, the lower air outlet 1 b is located at the front side of the air conditioner body 1 , and the fresh air outlet 1 c is located at the rear side of the air conditioner body 1 .

[0077] The lower air outlet 1b can be switched to be connected to one of the main air duct 11 and the fresh air duct 12, and the lower air outlet 1b can deliver fresh air, and the lower air outlet 1b can deliver fresh air toward the front side of the air conditioner body 1, and the fresh air can be delivered directly toward the user, quickly improving the air quality near the user and improving the fresh air delivery effect. The lower air outlet 1b is located at the front side of the air conditioner body 1, and the fresh air outlet 1c is located at the rear side of the air conditioner body 1, and the fresh air can be delivered toward the rear side of the air conditioner 100, and at the same time, the fresh air can be delivered toward the front side of the air conditioner 100, thereby increasing the fresh air delivery range and accelerating indoor air circulation.

[0078] like Figure 6 As shown, the air conditioner body 1 includes a fresh air component 16, which is used to transport outdoor fresh air to the room. Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the fresh air component 16 defines a fresh air duct 12, which includes a front air outlet section 121 extending forward toward the lower air outlet 1b, and a rear air outlet section 122 extending backward toward the fresh air outlet 1c. The front air outlet section 121 is connected to the connecting air duct 13 to connect to the lower air outlet 1b, and the rear air outlet section 122 is connected to the fresh air outlet 1c. The lower air outlet control component 2 is used to switch the front air outlet section 121 and the lower air outlet 1b.

[0079] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 3 As shown, the fresh air component 16 includes a fresh air component 161, a fresh air fan wheel 162 and a fresh air motor 163. Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, the fresh air component 16 has a fresh air inlet 1e, which is located at the rear side of the air conditioner body 1. The fresh air component 161 is arranged close to the fresh air inlet 1e relative to the fresh air impeller 162 and the fresh air fan, and the outdoor fresh air flows into the fresh air component 16 from the fresh air inlet 1e. The fresh air component 161 filters pollutants such as dust in the outdoor fresh air, so that the fresh air delivered to the room is cleaner. The fresh air motor 163 drives the fresh air impeller 162 to rotate, so as to guide the outdoor fresh air into the fresh air duct 12.

[0080] In some embodiments of the present invention, Fig.11 and Fig.12 As shown, the air conditioner body 1 includes a front panel 17 , the main air outlet 1 a includes side air outlets 1 a 1 respectively arranged on the left and right sides of the front panel 17 , and the lower air outlet 1 b is located below the front panel 17 .

[0081] The left and right side air outlets 1a1 are disposed on the left and right sides of the front panel 17, thereby increasing the air supply range of the air conditioner 100 in the horizontal direction and improving the air supply effect.

[0082] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 6 As shown, the air conditioner body 1 includes a crossflow fan 18 with an axis extending vertically, the outlet of the crossflow fan 18 is connected to the main air duct 11, and the main air duct 11 includes an air outlet section extending toward the left and right sides to be connected with two side air outlets 1a1 respectively.

[0083] When the main air duct 11 is connected only to the main air outlet 1a, the air conditioner 100 supplies air at the maximum air supply volume, and the air conditioner 100 has a faster heat exchange speed for the room. When the main air duct 11 is connected to the main air outlet 1a and the lower air outlet 1b at the same time, the air supply volume of the air conditioner 100 sent downward increases, and the air supply volume of the air conditioner 100 sent from the main air outlet 1a decreases, which can reduce the air volume directly blowing on the user, improve the user's direct blowing feeling, and enhance the air supply effect of the air conditioner 100.

[0084] In some embodiments of the present invention, Fig.11 and Fig.12 As shown, the air conditioner body 1 further has an upper air outlet 1d, which is higher than the front panel 17 and is suitable for communicating with the main air duct 11.

[0085] By setting the upper air outlet 1d, the air supply range of the air conditioner 100 in the vertical direction can be increased, and the air supply effect can be improved. When the air conditioner 100 is cooling, both the main air outlet 1a and the upper air outlet 1d deliver cold air to the room, and the cold air naturally settles from top to bottom, thereby improving the cooling effect. And when the main air duct 11 is connected to the main air outlet 1a and the upper air outlet 1d at the same time, the amount of air delivered upward by the air conditioner 100 increases, and the amount delivered from the main air outlet 1a by the air conditioner 100 decreases, which can improve the situation where the cold air blows directly to the human body, thereby improving the air supply effect of the air conditioner 100.

[0086] In some embodiments of the utility model, the air conditioner 100 further includes: an upper air outlet control component, which is used to control the switch of the upper air outlet 1d, or to switch the main air duct 11 and the upper air outlet 1d.

[0087] The upper air outlet 1d can be selectively connected to the main air duct 11, so that the air supply position of the air conditioner 100 can be adjusted in accordance with the air outlet mode of the air conditioner 100, thereby improving the air supply effect of the air conditioner 100. The upper air outlet control component controls the switch of the upper air outlet 1d to block dust and other pollutants outside the air conditioner 100, thereby improving the cleanliness of the air conditioner 100.

[0088] In some embodiments of the present invention, the air conditioner body 1 further has an upper air outlet 1d, which can be selectively connected to the main air duct 11. By providing the upper air outlet 1d and the lower air outlet 1b that can be selectively connected to the main air duct 11, the air conditioner 100 can achieve multi-mode air supply to meet the needs of different scenarios.

[0089] Optionally, the lower air outlet 1b is only connected to the fresh air duct 12, and the lower air outlet 1b and the fresh air outlet 1c both deliver fresh air to the room, and the upper air outlet 1d is connected to the main air duct 11, and the upper air outlet 1d and the main air outlet 1a both deliver heat exchange airflow to the room. The upper air outlet 1d and the main air outlet 1a deliver heat exchange airflow to the room, which can improve the situation where the heat exchange airflow directly blows the user's body, and the lower air outlet 1b and the fresh air outlet 1c deliver fresh air to the room to avoid the core position of the human body, which can improve the indoor air quality while adjusting the indoor temperature, and can also improve the impact of the airflow directly blowing on the human body, and improve the air supply effect.
