[0048] The air conditioner 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0049] According to the air conditioner 100 of the embodiment of the present utility model, Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the air conditioner 100 includes: an air outlet component 1 and an air guide component 2, wherein the air outlet component 1 is formed with two left and right air outlet sections 10, and the air guide component 2 includes two air guide units 2a, and the air guide unit 2a includes an air guide assembly 21 and a driving assembly 22, and the two air guide assemblies 21 are correspondingly arranged in the two air outlet sections 10. The air guide assembly 21 includes a plurality of air guide blades 211 spaced apart in the up-down direction and a connecting rod 212 connected to the plurality of air guide blades 211, and the driving assembly 22 is installed on the air outlet component 1 and connected to the connecting rod 212, so as to drive the air guide blades 211 through the connecting rod 212 to adjust the air guide angle.

[0050] The air outlet component 1 forms an air outlet section 10 to supply air, and the two air outlet sections 10 face left and right directions respectively, which can improve the air supply range of the air conditioner 100 in the horizontal direction. The air guide component 2 can guide the air supply of the air outlet section 10, further improve the air supply range of the air conditioner 100 in the vertical direction, and improve the air supply effect of the air conditioner 100.

[0051] The air guide component 2 includes two air guide units 2a, and the two air guide units 2a are respectively arranged corresponding to the two air outlet sections 10 to guide the air to the left and right air outlet sections 10. Optionally, the two air guide units 2a can work independently of each other, and the air guide units 2a independently guide the airflow in the two air outlet sections 10; or, more optionally, the two air guide units 2a work in conjunction with each other, and the air guide units 2a guide the airflow in the two air outlet sections 10 at the same time, which all fall within the protection scope of the present utility model. Different air outlet effects can be achieved by respectively arranging the air guide units 2a in the two air outlet sections 10, thereby increasing the air outlet modes of the air conditioner 100.

[0052] The wind guide unit 2a includes a wind guide component 21 and a driving component 22. The wind guide component 21 is arranged in the air outlet section 10 to guide the wind, and the driving component 22 is used to drive the wind guide component 21 to guide the wind. Figure 2 As shown, the air guide assembly 21 includes a plurality of air guide blades 211 and a connecting rod 212. The air guide blades 211 are multiple and are spaced apart in the up and down directions. The connecting rod 212 is connected to the multiple air guide blades 211. The air guide blades 211 can guide the entire air flow within the air outlet section 10 in the vertical direction. The connection of the connecting rod 212 can drive the multiple air guide blades 211 to synchronously adjust the air guide angles, thereby improving the air guide effect on the airflow.

[0053] According to the air conditioner 100 of the embodiment of the utility model, by setting two left and right air outlet sections 10, and setting a plurality of air guide blades 211 spaced apart vertically in each air outlet section 10, and by setting a connecting rod 212 corresponding to each air outlet section 10 to drive the plurality of air guide blades 211 in the same air outlet section 10 to adjust the upper and lower air guide angles, the air supply range can be improved, which is conducive to meeting the air supply requirements of larger space scenes.

[0054] In some embodiments of the present invention, in order to reduce the difficulty of installing the drive assembly 22, optionally, the drive assemblies 22 of the two air guide units 2a have the same structure, and the two drive assemblies 22 can be installed interchangeably, which can reduce the design and manufacturing costs, avoid misinstallation, reduce installation difficulty, and improve assembly efficiency.

[0055] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 As shown, the air outlet component 1 includes a front frame 1a and an air outlet frame 1b. The front frame 1a is arranged at the front side of the air outlet frame 1b to form an air outlet section 10 between the air outlet frame 1b and the front frame 1a. The front frame 1a has two left and right air duct walls 11. The two air duct walls 11 respectively participate in defining the two air outlet sections 10. Figure 3 As shown, the two driving assemblies 22 are respectively installed on the front sides of the two air duct walls 11 through the mounting ears 221.

[0056] The rear side of the air duct wall 11 helps to define two air outlet sections 10. By arranging the drive component 22 on the front side of the air duct wall 11 and not arranging the drive component 22 in the air outlet section 10, the obstruction of the drive component 22 to the airflow can be improved, thereby improving the flow effect of the airflow in the air outlet section 10.

[0057] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the air conditioner 100 includes a front panel 3 arranged on the front side of the front frame 1a, and two air duct walls 11 are respectively a first air duct wall 111 and a second air duct wall 112, and an inclination angle α of the first air duct wall 111 relative to the front panel 3 and an inclination angle β of the second air duct wall 112 relative to the front panel 3 are different.

[0058] In the related art, since the first air duct wall and the second air duct wall have different inclination angles relative to the front panel, the drive components installed on different air duct walls cannot be shared, and each air outlet section requires a separate drive component, which is easy to be misassembled, resulting in low assembly efficiency of the drive components. However, the drive components 22 of the embodiment of the utility model are identical and can be installed with each other, which can avoid misassembly, reduce the difficulty of installing the drive components 22, and improve the assembly efficiency of the air conditioner 100.

[0059] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, a first convex portion 12 protrudes from the front of the first air duct wall 111, and a second convex portion 13 protrudes from the front side of the second air duct wall 112. Both the first convex portion 12 and the second convex portion 13 have a connecting hole 14. Figure 2 As shown, the drive assembly 22 includes a drive box 22a, and the drive box 22a has a mounting ear 221. Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the mounting ear 221 has a step portion 222, and the edge of the mounting ear 221 has a lap portion 226. The step portion 222 includes a first step portion 2221 and a second step portion 2222. The first step portion 2221 and the second step portion 2222 both have a through hole 223. When the first step portion 2221 is supported and matched with the first protrusion 12 and the holes are opposite, the lap portion 226 is lap-supported on the first air duct wall 111. When the second step portion 2222 is supported and matched with the second protrusion 13 and the holes are opposite, the lap portion 226 is lap-supported on the second air duct wall 112.

[0060] The driver box 22a is installed on the front side of the air duct wall 11 through the mounting ear 221. The mounting ear 221 has a step portion 222, which can improve the structural strength of the mounting ear 221 and improve the installation stability of the driver box 22a. The mounting ear 221 also has a lap portion 226, which is supported by the air duct wall 11, and can further improve the installation stability of the driver box 22a.

[0061] There are two drive boxes 22a, and the two drive boxes 22a are respectively installed on the first air duct wall 111 and the second air duct wall 112 through mounting ears 221, wherein the mounting ears 221 of the drive box 22a installed on the first air duct wall 111 are formed with a first step portion 2221, and the mounting ears 221 of the drive box 22a installed on the second air duct wall 112 are formed with a second step portion 2222.

[0062] The first stepped portion 2221 has a through hole 223, and the first stepped portion 2221 is supported and matched with the first protrusion 12, and the through hole 223 on the first stepped portion 2221 is directly opposite to the connecting hole 14 on the first protrusion 12. Figure 7 As shown, the first fastener passes through the through hole 223 of the first stepped portion 2221 and is fixedly connected to the connecting hole 14 on the first convex portion 12, so as to fix the drive box 22a on the first air duct wall 111. The second stepped portion 2222 has a through hole 223, and the second stepped portion 2222 is supported and matched with the second convex portion 13, and the through hole 223 on the second stepped portion 2222 is directly opposite to the connecting hole 14 on the second convex portion 13, as shown in FIG. Figure 7 As shown, the second fastener 42 passes through the through hole 223 of the second stepped portion 2222 and is fixedly connected to the connecting hole 14 on the second protrusion 13 to fix the drive box 22a on the second air duct wall 112.

[0063] The edge of the mounting ear 221 of the drive box 22a installed on the first air duct wall 111 has a lap portion 226, and the drive box 22a is fixedly installed on the first air duct wall 111 by a first fastener 41, and the lap portion 226 is supported on the first air duct wall 111 to improve the installation stability of the drive box 22a; the edge of the mounting ear 221 of the drive box 22a installed on the second air duct wall 112 has a lap portion 226, and the drive box 22a is fixedly installed on the second air duct wall 112 by a second fastener 42, and the lap portion 226 is supported on the second air duct wall 112 to improve the installation stability of the drive box 22a.

[0064] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 9-11 As shown, the drive box 22a includes a rear box 22a2 and a front box 22a1 that are buckled together, and the mounting ear 221 includes a front mounting ear 221a provided on the front box 22a1, and a rear mounting ear 221b provided on the rear box 22a2, and the front mounting ear 221a is covered on the front side of the rear mounting ear 221b. The front mounting ear 221a and the rear mounting ear 221b both have a stepped portion 222, and the through hole 223 on the stepped portion 222 passes through the front mounting ear 221a and the rear mounting ear 221b, and the fastener passes through the connecting hole 14 of the front mounting ear 221a and the rear mounting ear 221b to be fixedly connected, so as to fix the drive box 22a on the air duct wall 11.

[0065] like Figure 8, Fig.12 and Fig.13 As shown, the rear mounting ear 221b has a first extension portion 224 extending backward at the corresponding first step portion 2221, and has a second extension portion 225 extending backward at the corresponding second step portion 2222. When the first step portion 2221 is supported and matched with the first protrusion 12 and the holes are opposite to each other, the first extension portion 224 is located on the peripheral side of the first protrusion 12 and supports the first air duct wall 111. When the second step portion 2222 is supported and matched with the second protrusion 13 and the holes are opposite to each other, the second extension portion 225 is located on the peripheral side of the second protrusion 13 and supports the second air duct wall 112.

[0066] The rear box 22a2 of the drive box 22a installed on the first air duct wall 111 has a first extension portion 224, and the rear box 22a2 of the drive box 22a installed on the second air duct wall 112 has a second extension portion 225. Compared with the front box 22a1, the rear box 22a2 is against the air duct wall 11, and the first extension portion 224 and the second extension portion 225 are arranged on the rear mounting ear 221b of the rear box 22a2, which can improve the contact position between the drive box 22a and the air duct wall 11 and improve the installation stability of the drive box 22a.

[0067] The through hole 223 of the drive box 22a installed on the first air duct wall 111 is directly opposite to the connecting hole 14 of the first protrusion, and the first fastener 41 fixes the drive box 22a to the first air duct wall 111. The first extension portion 224 on the rear box 22a2 of the drive box 22a is supported on the air duct wall 11 on the peripheral side of the first protrusion 12, which can strengthen the connection and support between the mounting ear 221 and the first air duct wall 111, help improve the matching stability between the first step portion 2221 and the first protrusion 12, and improve the installation stability of the drive box 22a; similarly, the second extension portion 225 on the rear box 22a2 of the drive box 22a installed on the second air duct wall 112 is supported on the air duct wall 11 on the peripheral side of the second protrusion 13, which can strengthen the connection and support between the mounting ear 221 and the second air duct wall 112, help improve the matching stability between the second step portion 2222 and the second protrusion 13, and improve the installation stability of the drive box 22a.

[0068] In some embodiments of the present invention, Fig. 9 and Fig.10 As shown, the overlap portion 226 is provided at the edge of the front mounting ear 221a. The front mounting ear 221a is supported by the air duct wall 11 through the overlap portion 226, and the rear mounting ear 221b is supported by the air duct wall 11 through the first extension portion 224 and the second extension portion 225. The rear box 22a2 and the front box 22a1 of the drive box 22a are both supported by the air duct wall 11, which can further improve the installation stability of the drive box 22a.

[0069] It is worth mentioning that the drive box 22a is supported by the air duct wall 11 through the overlap portion 226, the first extension portion 224 and the second extension portion 225. On the one hand, compared with the surface-to-surface support method, the line contact support can improve the horizontality of the contact point, thereby reducing the shaking generated after the support, and improving the installation stability of the drive box 22a; on the other hand, compared with the surface-to-surface support method, the line contact support has lower structural requirements for the air duct wall 11, and it only needs to meet the support requirements with the overlap portion 226, the first extension portion 224 and the second extension portion 225. Even if the inclination angles of the first air duct wall 111 and the second air duct wall 112 relative to the front panel 3 are different, through minor structural improvements to the first air duct wall 111 and the second air duct wall 112, the drive box 22a installed on the first air duct wall 111 and the drive box 22a installed on the second air duct wall 112 can be installed interchangeably.

[0070] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 6 and Fig.13 As shown, a transverse rib 15 extending in the left-right direction protrudes from the front side of the front frame 1a, and a recessed portion 151 is formed on the transverse rib 15. The recessed portion 151 includes a first recessed portion 1511 and a second recessed portion 1512. The first convex portion 12 protrudes forward from the first recessed portion 1511, and the second convex portion 13 protrudes forward from the second recessed portion 1512.

[0071] Since the first air duct wall 111 and the second air duct wall 112 have different inclination angles relative to the front panel 3, it is difficult to directly install the drive box 22a of the same structure on the first air duct wall 111 and the second air duct wall 112 respectively. However, by arranging the transverse rib 15 on the front side of the front frame 1a, that is, on the front side of the air duct wall 11, and then making special structural improvements to the transverse rib 15, the transverse rib 15 is formed with a first recessed portion 1511 and a second recessed portion 1512 for installing the drive box 22a. By arranging the first recessed portion 1511 and the second recessed portion 1512, the structure for installing the drive box 22a on the first air duct wall 111 can be designed to be consistent with the structure for installing the drive box 22a on the second air duct wall 112, so that the drive box 22a installed on the first air duct wall 111 and the drive box 22a installed on the second air duct wall 112 can be installed interchangeably. The design and manufacturing cost can be reduced, and mis-installation can be avoided, thereby reducing the difficulty of installing the drive box 22a.

[0072] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 6 and Fig.13As shown, the side wall of the recessed portion 151 is a guide slope 152, which helps to guide the step portion 222 of the mounting ear 221 to be correctly aligned with the first protrusion 12 and the second protrusion 13 during the assembly process, thereby improving assembly efficiency. The overlapping portion 226 overlaps and supports the transverse rib 15 outside the recessed portion 151, which can improve the support reliability of the overlapping portion 226 and the air duct wall 11, and is conducive to improving the installation stability of the drive box 22a.

[0073] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 3 and Fig. 9 As shown, the driving assembly 22 includes a driving box 22a, and mounting ears 221 are respectively provided at the upper and lower ends of the driving box 22a. The driving box 22a is constructed to be a structure that is symmetrical about its own center line.

[0074] By providing two mounting ears 221, the mounting stability of the drive box 22a can be improved, and the shaking of the drive box 22a can be improved. The drive box 22a is constructed as a structure that is symmetrical about its own center line. The drive box 22a installed on the first air duct wall 111 and the drive box 22a installed on the second air duct wall 112 can be installed interchangeably. The drive box 22a installed on the first air duct wall 111 can be directly installed on the second air duct wall 112 by rotating 180° in the up-down direction. Similarly, the drive box 22a installed on the second air duct wall 112 can be directly installed on the first air duct wall 111 by rotating 180° in the up-down direction.

[0075] In some embodiments of the utility model, mounting ears 221 are respectively provided at the upper and lower ends of the drive box 22a. Correspondingly, two first protrusions 12 are protruded on the first air duct wall 111, and the two first protrusions 12 are spaced apart in the up and down directions; two second protrusions 13 are protruded on the second air duct wall 112, and the two second protrusions 13 are spaced apart in the up and down directions.

[0076] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 6 As shown, a transverse rib 15 extending in the left-right direction protrudes from the front side of the front frame 1a. There are two transverse ribs 15 spaced apart from each other to correspond to the mounting ears 221 at the upper and lower ends of the drive box 22a. The mounting ears 221 are mounted on the transverse rib 15.

[0077] By providing the transverse rib 15 on the front side of the front frame 1a, that is, on the front side of the air duct wall 11, the structure on the first air duct wall 111 for installing the drive box 22a can be designed to be consistent with the structure on the second air duct wall 112 for installing the drive box 22a, so that the drive box 22a installed on the first air duct wall 111 and the drive box 22a installed on the second air duct wall 112 can be installed interchangeably. The design and manufacturing cost can be reduced, and the mis-installation can be avoided, and the installation difficulty of the drive box 22a can be reduced.

[0078] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 6 and Fig.14 As shown, the front frame 1 a has a groove 161 located between the upper and lower transverse ribs 15 and open to the front. The driving assembly 22 includes a motor 22 b. The motor 22 b is exposed at the rear side of the driving box 22 a and is embedded in the groove 161 .

[0079] The motor 22b is installed on the outside of the drive box 22a. By setting a groove 161 on the front frame 1a, an installation space is provided for the motor 22b. The groove 161 supports and protects the motor 22b and can prevent the motor 22b from interfering with the installation of other components. The layout reliability of the drive component 22 is strong.

[0080] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 15-17 As shown, the front frame 1a has a protrusion 16, which protrudes backward and defines a groove 161. The air outlet component 1 includes a diverter cone 1c arranged between the front frame 1a and the air outlet frame 1b. The diverter cone 1c is installed on the front frame 1a and diverts air between the two air outlet sections 10. The diverter cone 1c forms a positioning groove 1c1 that is open forward to accommodate the protrusion 16 at the position corresponding to the protrusion 16.

[0081] The front frame 1a has a protrusion 16 protruding backward to form a groove 161 on the front side of the air duct wall 11, and the groove 161 is connected to the motor 22b. The diverter cone 1c is located on the rear side of the air duct wall 11. The diverter cone 1c is set between the front frame 1a and the air outlet frame 1b. The diverter cone 1c is used to divert between the two air outlet sections 10, so that the air volume of the two air outlet sections 10 is similar, thereby improving the air outlet effect of the air conditioner 100. The diverter cone 1c has a positioning groove 1c1 to accommodate the protrusion 16, which can avoid installation interference between the diverter cone 1c and the front frame 1a, thereby improving the installation reliability of the diverter cone 1c. In addition, the diverter cone 1c can be accurately installed on the front frame 1a through the cooperation of the positioning groove 1c1 and the protrusion 16, thereby improving the assembly efficiency.

[0082] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 6 As shown, the front frame 1a has a support rib 17 protruding forward, and the support rib 17 is located between the upper and lower transverse ribs 15 and is arranged around the groove 161. Fig.18 As shown, the support ribs 17 support the rear surface of the drive box 22a.

[0083] By providing the support ribs 17 and the drive box 22a, the support ribs 17 can improve the support stability of the drive box 22a and reduce the deviation and rotation of the drive box 22a. In addition, by providing the support ribs 17 to support the drive box 22a, a gap for the power supply machine 22b to dissipate heat can be left between the drive box 22a and the front frame 1a, which helps dissipate heat from the motor 22b and improves the working reliability of the motor 22b.

[0084] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, each air duct wall 11 has a first avoidance hole 18 extending vertically, and the first avoidance hole 18 is located between the upper and lower transverse ribs 15. Fig.12 As shown, the rear wall of the driving box 22a has a second avoidance hole 227 extending vertically.

[0085] like Fig.19 and Fig. 20 As shown, the driving assembly 22 includes a gear 22c and a rack 22d disposed in the driving box 22a, the motor 22b is connected to the gear 22c, and the gear 22c is meshed with the rack 22d. Figure 2 and Fig. 20 As shown, the rack 22 d extends in the up-down direction and cooperates with the connecting rod 212 through the transmission portion 22 d 1 penetrating the second avoidance hole 227 and the first avoidance hole 18 .

[0086] The driving assembly 22 is arranged at the front side of the air duct wall 11, and the driving assembly 22 does not hinder the airflow in the air outlet section 10, and improves the flow effect in the air outlet section 10. Therefore, a first avoidance hole 18 is arranged on the air duct wall 11, and the driving assembly 22 cooperates with the connecting rod 212 in the air outlet section 10 through the first avoidance hole 18 to drive the connecting rod 212 to move in the up and down direction.

[0087] The driving assembly 22 includes a gear 22c and a rack 22d disposed in the driving box 22a, and the motor 22b is a power part. The motor 22b shaft of the motor 22b is connected to the gear 22c, and the rotation of the motor 22b shaft drives the gear 22c to rotate. The gear 22c is meshed with the rack 22d, and the rack 22d moves in the up and down direction under the meshing action with the gear 22c. The gear 22c and the rack 22d have a simple structure and strong matching reliability, which can improve the working stability of the driving assembly 22; and the arrangement of the gear 22c and the rack 22d occupies a small space, which is conducive to the arrangement in the driving box 22a.

[0088] like Fig.19 As shown, the rack 22d has a transmission part 22d1, and the connecting rod 212 has a matching part 2121 that matches the transmission part 22d1. The movement of the rack 22d drives the connecting rod 212 to move in the up and down directions. Not only is the first avoidance hole 18 for the transmission part 22d1 to pass through provided on the air duct wall 11, but also a second avoidance hole 227 for the transmission part 22d1 to pass through is provided on the rear wall of the drive box 22a to avoid the connection between the transmission part 22d1 and the matching part 2121.

[0089] In addition, the first avoidance hole 18 and the second avoidance hole 227 can also play a guiding and limiting role, limiting the transmission part 22d1 to move only in the up and down directions, thereby improving the movement reliability of the connecting rod 212.

[0090] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 6 As shown, the front side of the front frame 1a protrudes with a wire buckle 19 located between the two drive assemblies 22. The wire buckle 19 is provided to constrain the wire harness led out of the drive assembly 22, improve the regularity of the wire harness, improve the shaking of the wire harness in the air conditioner, and improve the working stability of the drive assembly 22.

[0091] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the multiple air guide blades 211 of the two air guide units 2a are respectively arranged in a one-to-one correspondence, and the two correspondingly arranged air guide blades 211 are connected to form an integrally formed flexible louver.

[0092] By integrating the two air guide blades 211 arranged in the two air outlet sections 10 into an integral part, the flexible shutter of the embodiment of the utility model can complete the installation of the two air guide blades 211 at the same time by installing them at one time, thereby simplifying the assembly process and improving the assembly efficiency.

[0093] The flexible louver can produce a restorable deformation, and the air guide blade 211 can guide the airflow in different directions by producing deformation in different directions and moving between different deformation shapes. The deformation amplitude of the flexible louver is large, which increases the movement range of the flexible louver, improves the air guide effect, and can also improve the damage caused by frequent deformation of the flexible louver, which is conducive to extending the service life of the flexible louver.

[0094] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 2 As shown, the flexible louver is installed on the diverter cone 1c, and the air guide vane 211 of the flexible louver is arranged in the two air outlet sections 10. The airflow diverted by the diverter cone 1c passes through the air guide vane 211 and is guided by the air guide vane 211. By installing the flexible louver on the diverter cone 1c, the characteristics of the diverter cone 1c being adjacent to the two air outlet sections 10 are utilized to meet the installation position requirements of the flexible louver. In this way, the airflow diverted by the diverter cone 1c flows smoothly to the air guide vane 211, which can improve the air guiding effect. In addition, the flexible louver is installed on the diverter cone 1c, and the flexible louver and the diverter cone 1c are preferentially integrated and then assembled as a whole, which can simplify the assembly process and improve the assembly efficiency.

[0095] In some embodiments of the present invention, Fig.21 As shown, the air conditioner 100 includes a front panel 3 arranged on the front side of the front frame 1a, the air conditioner 100 has side air outlets 101 located on both sides of the front panel 3, an upper air outlet 102 arranged higher than the front panel 3 and a lower air outlet 103 arranged lower than the front panel 3, two air outlet sections 10 are correspondingly connected with the two side air outlets 101, and the air duct in the air outlet component 1 includes two air outlet sections 10, which are respectively connected with the upper air outlet 102 and the lower air outlet 103.

[0096] The two side air outlets 101 are respectively connected to the air outlet section 10, and the air supply range of the air conditioner 100 in the horizontal direction is wider; the upper air outlet 102 is set higher than the front panel 3, and the lower air outlet 103 is set lower than the front panel 3, which can increase the air supply range of the air conditioner 100 in the vertical direction and improve the air supply effect.

[0097] The air duct is connected to the upper air outlet 102 and the lower air outlet 103 respectively. Optionally, the air supplied by the air conditioner 100 can be simultaneously delivered to the side air outlet 101, the upper air outlet 102 and the lower air outlet 103; or, further optionally, the air supplied by the air conditioner 100 can be delivered to one or two of the side air outlet 101, the upper air outlet 102 and the lower air outlet 103. The side air outlet 101, the upper air outlet 102 and the lower air outlet 103 can supply air independently of each other, or they can be linked to supply air together.

[0098] The utility model is not only provided with a side air outlet 101 for mainly supplying air, but also has an upper air outlet 102 higher than the side air outlet 101 and a lower air outlet 103 lower than the side air outlet inlet. When the air guide component 2 guides the air up and down, it can not only guide the airflow to the upper or lower part of the side air outlet 101, but also guide the airflow to the upper air outlet 102 or the lower air outlet 103 for delivery. Compared with only setting the side air outlet, the air supply range of the air conditioner 100 in the vertical direction can be further improved, and the air supply effect of the air conditioner 100 can be improved.

[0099] Illustratively, when the air conditioner 100 is cooling, the air guide component 2 guides the air upward, and the cold air can be delivered from the upper part of the side air outlet 101 and the upper air outlet 102, which can improve the situation where the cold air blows directly onto the human body, and the cold air naturally settles from top to bottom, thereby improving the cooling effect; when the air conditioner 100 is heating, the air guide component 2 guides the air downward, and the hot air can be delivered from the lower part of the side air outlet 101 and the lower air outlet 103, thereby warming the feet, improving the situation where the head is hot and the feet are cold, and improving the heating effect.

[0100] In some embodiments of the present invention, the upper air outlet 102 and the lower air outlet 103 can be selectively opened and closed. On the one hand, the air supply position of the air conditioner 100 can be adjusted in accordance with the air outlet mode of the air conditioner 100 to improve the air supply effect of the air conditioner 100; on the other hand, external pollutants can be blocked outside the air conditioner 100 to improve the cleanliness of the air conditioner 100.
