[0041] Embodiments of the present utility model will be described in detail below. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, where the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present utility model and should not be construed as a limitation of the present utility model.

[0042] Reference is made below Figures 1 - 13 to describe the air conditioner 100 according to an embodiment of the present utility model.

[0043] As Figures 1 - 7 shown, the air conditioner 100 according to an embodiment of the present utility model includes an air conditioner body 10. The air conditioner body 10 includes a housing 11. An air outlet passage 101 is provided inside the housing 11. The air outlet passage 101 includes a first passage 1011 and at least one second passage 1012. A first air outlet 1013 is provided at the lower part of the front side of the housing 11. The first air outlet 1013 communicates with the first passage 1011. A second air outlet 1014 is provided on the left side wall and / or the right side wall of the housing 11. Each second passage 1012 communicates the first passage 1011 with the corresponding second air outlet 1014.

[0044] That is to say, the second air outlet 1014 can be provided only on the left side wall of the housing 11. Then the second passage 1012 is provided on the left side of the first passage 1011, and the second passage 1012 communicates the second air outlet 1014 and the first passage 1011, so that air can be discharged from the left side of the housing 11. The second air outlet 1014 can also be provided only on the right side wall of the housing 11. Then the second passage 1012 is provided on the right side of the first passage 1011, and the second passage 1012 communicates the second air outlet 1014 and the first passage 1011, so that air can be discharged from the right side of the housing 11.

[0045] Of course, the second air outlets 1014 can also be provided on the left side wall and the right side wall of the housing 11 respectively. Then the second passages 1012 can be provided on both the left side and the right side of the first passage 1011. The second passage 1012 located on the left side of the first passage 1011 communicates the second air outlet 1014 on the left side wall of the housing 11 and the first passage 1011. The second passage 1012 located on the right side of the first passage 1011 communicates the second air outlet 1014 on the right side wall of the housing 11 and the first passage 1011, so that air can be discharged from both the left and right sides of the housing 11.

[0046] The air conditioner 100 further includes an air guide assembly 20, which includes an air guide structure 21 and at least one driving motor 22. The air guide structure 21 extends from the left side wall of the casing 11 to the right side wall of the casing 11. The driving motor 22 is in transmission connection with the air guide structure 21. The driving motor 22 can drive the air guide structure 21 to rotate so that the air guide structure 21 opens and closes the first air outlet 1013. Specifically, when the air guide structure 21 opens the first air outlet 1013, air can be discharged from the front and lower sides of the casing 11. When the air guide structure 21 closes the first air outlet 1013, air cannot be discharged from the first air outlet 1013.

[0047] According to the air conditioner 100 of the embodiment of the utility model, by setting the second air outlet 1014 on the left wall and / or the right wall of the casing 11, and using the second channel 1012 to connect the first channel 1011 and the second air outlet 1014, air outlet from the left and / or right side of the casing 11 can be achieved. When combined with the air outlet from the front and lower side of the casing 11, multi-dimensional air outlet can be formed. On the one hand, the air outlet volume of the air conditioner 100 can be increased, and on the other hand, the air outlet range of the air conditioner 100 can be expanded, so that the air outlet effect is better, which is beneficial to improving the user experience.

[0048] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, according to some embodiments of the utility model, the left side wall and the right side wall of the casing 11 are both provided with a second air outlet 1014, so that the left side wall and the right side wall of the casing 11 have no obstruction to the air outlet, thereby increasing the air outlet angles on the left and right sides, and cooperating with the air guide assembly 20, the air supply can be made more uniform.

[0049] Among them, the two second air outlets 1014 are symmetrically arranged on the casing 11, so as to form a symmetrical air outlet form, so that the air outlet on the left and right sides of the casing 11 tends to be uniform, further improving the user experience.

[0050] In some embodiments, the second air outlet 1014 may include a plurality of air outlet holes. The plurality of air outlet holes are arranged in an array, and each air outlet hole may form a circular hole, a square hole, an elliptical hole, etc.; or, the plurality of air outlet holes may be arranged in a certain direction, and each air outlet hole may form a strip hole, for example, each air outlet hole may be a rectangular hole or an arc hole.

[0051] like Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, multiple air outlet holes are arranged in the up and down directions, and each air outlet hole forms an arc hole extending gradually downward from back to front, so that multiple air curtains extending gradually downward from back to front can be formed on the left side and / or right side of the casing 11.

[0052] like Figures 9 - 13As shown, according to some embodiments of the present utility model, the air conditioner body 10 includes a heat exchanger 12 and a fan assembly 13. The heat exchanger 12 is disposed within the housing 11. The fan assembly 13 includes an impeller 131 and an impeller motor 132. The impeller 131 is rotatably disposed within the housing 11, and in the air flow direction, the impeller 131 is located downstream of the heat exchanger 12. The impeller motor 132 is connected to the impeller 131 and can drive the impeller 131 to rotate.

[0053] Further, the air conditioner body 10 further includes an electric control box 14. The electric control box 14 is disposed within the housing 11, and the electric control box 14 and the impeller motor 132 are located at the axial two ends of the impeller 131.

[0054] Compared with the related art, arranging the electric control box 14 and the impeller motor 132 at the axial two ends of the impeller 131 can make the structure within the housing 11 more compact. The impeller 131 is disposed in the middle, so that the air outlet is more uniform. Cooperating with the scheme that the left and right side walls of the housing 11 are both provided with second air outlets 1014, symmetrical air outlet on the left and right sides of the housing 11 can be achieved. In addition, arranging the electric control box 14 at the end of the impeller 131 far from the impeller motor 132 is conducive to the miniaturization design of the electric control box 14.

[0055] Wherein, the impeller 131 can be a cross-flow impeller 131, and the impeller motor 132 can be an external rotor motor. Among motors with the same efficiency, adopting an external rotor motor can reduce the structural size of the impeller motor 132 and make the structure more compact.

[0056] As Figures 6 - 8 shown, according to some embodiments of the present utility model, the air conditioner 100 further includes a swing component 30. The swing component 30 is disposed within the air outlet passage 101 and is disposed near the first air outlet 1013. When the air guiding structure 21 opens the first air outlet 1013, the swing component 30 can change the air outlet direction at the first air outlet 1013 to achieve multi-dimensional air supply.

[0057] In some embodiments, a duct component 15 is disposed within the housing 11. The duct component 15 defines the air outlet passage 101. At least one end of the side of the swing component 30 facing away from the first air outlet 1013 is provided with a wind deflector 40. A second passage 1012 is defined between the wind deflector 40 and the duct component 15.

[0058] For example, in the embodiment where the second air outlet 1014 is provided on the left side wall of the housing 11, the wind deflector 40 is provided at the left end of the side of the swing component 30 facing away from the first air outlet 1013, and the second passage 1012 is defined by using the left part of the wind deflector 40 and the duct component 15.

[0059] For another example, in the embodiment where the second air outlet 1014 is provided on the right side wall of the housing 11, a wind deflector 40 is provided at the right end of the side of the air-sweeping assembly 30 facing away from the first air outlet 1013, and the second channel 1012 is defined by the wind deflector 40 and the right part of the air duct member 15.

[0060] For yet another example, in the embodiment where the second air outlets 1014 are provided on both the left side wall and the right side wall of the housing 11, wind deflectors 40 are provided at both ends of the side of the air-sweeping assembly 30 facing away from the first air outlet 1013, and the second channels 1012 located on the left and right sides of the first channel 1011 can be defined by the two wind deflectors 40 and the left and right parts of the air duct member 15 respectively.

[0061] In the above technical solution, by providing the wind deflector 40 on the side of the air-sweeping assembly 30 facing away from the first air outlet 1013, the second channel 1012 can be defined by the wind deflector 40 and the air duct member 15, that is, the wind deflector 40 can divide the air outlet channel 101 into the first channel 1011 and the second channel 1012, enabling the air flow in the air outlet channel 101 to be split. A part of the air flow passes through the air-sweeping assembly 30 and flows out from the first air outlet 1013, and the other part of the air flow flows towards the second air outlet 1014 under the guidance of the wind deflector 40, which is conducive to realizing air outlet on the left side and / or the right side of the housing 11, thereby forming multi-dimensional air outlet.

[0062] As Figure 8 shown, in some specific embodiments, the wind deflector 40 gradually extends in the direction approaching the second air outlet 1014 from the first channel 1011 to the first air outlet 1013.

[0063] That is to say, the wind deflector 40 gradually extends in the direction approaching the second air outlet 1014 along the gas flow direction in the first channel 1011. Among them, the wind deflector 40 can form a wind deflector flat plate inclined with respect to the plane where the second air outlet 1014 is located, or the wind deflector 40 can form a curved plate.

[0064] Thus, by setting the wind deflector 40 into the above structure, on the basis of ensuring multi-dimensional air outlet, the gas splitting can be made smoother, reducing air flow loss and lowering working noise.

[0065] As Figure 6 、 Figures 9 - 12 shown, in some specific embodiments, the air-sweeping assembly 30 includes a mounting bracket 31 and a plurality of air-sweeping members 32. The mounting bracket 31 extends along the length direction of the first air outlet 1013 (such as Figure 9 the left-right direction shown), the mounting bracket 31 has a plurality of ventilation openings 310, the plurality of ventilation openings 310 are arranged in the length direction of the first air outlet 1013, and the plurality of air-sweeping members 32 are respectively and rotatably arranged at the plurality of ventilation openings 310.

[0066] Specifically, each air-sweeping member 32 can be rotatably arranged on the mounting bracket 31 through the mounting shaft 323. When the air conditioner 100 is operating, when the air in the first channel 1011 flows through the ventilation opening 310, the air-sweeping member 32 can not only slow down the flow rate of the air, but also change the flow direction of the air. The multiple air-sweeping members 32 disperse the air at the multiple ventilation openings 310 respectively, making the air output from the first air outlet 1013 more uniform.

[0067] In some examples, the air-sweeping member 32 includes air-sweeping blades 321. The air-sweeping member 32 is adapted to rotate under the drive of the air flow, so as to change the air output direction at the first air outlet 1013, achieving the effect of continuous rotating wide-angle air-sweeping. Among them, the air-sweeping member 32 can rotate 360° around the rotation axis, or can rotate within a certain angle range around the rotation axis.

[0068] Each air-sweeping member 32 can include at least one air-sweeping blade 321. Specifically, as Figure 10 and Figure 12 shown, considering the relatively large space at the left and right ends of the air-sweeping assembly 30, among the multiple air-sweeping members 32, the two air-sweeping members 32 located at the leftmost and rightmost sides can be set to respectively include two air-sweeping blades 321. The two air-sweeping blades 321 are arranged in the extending direction of the rotation axis of the air-sweeping blade 321 and can be connected by a connecting plate 324 therebetween to improve the air-sweeping effect, while the multiple air-sweeping members 32 located in the middle are set to include one air-sweeping blade 321.

[0069] In some specific examples, as Figure 8 shown, the mounting bracket 31 defines a mounting cavity. The multiple ventilation openings 310 are all communicated with the mounting cavity. An installation rod 33 extending along the length direction of the first air outlet 1013 is arranged in the mounting cavity. Each air-sweeping member 32 includes an air-sweeping blade 321, a mounting shaft 323 and a limiting portion 322. The mounting shaft 323 passes through the installation rod 33. One end of the mounting shaft 323 is connected to the air-sweeping blade 321, and the other end of the mounting shaft 323 is connected to the limiting portion 322, so that the air-sweeping blade 321 is rotatably mounted on the installation rod 33 through the mounting shaft 323.

[0070] Among them, the cross-sectional dimension of the limiting portion 322 in the plane perpendicular to the mounting shaft 323 is larger than the cross-sectional dimension of the mounting shaft 323. The limiting portion 322 can limit the air-sweeping blade 321, preventing the air-sweeping blade 321 from falling off the installation rod 33 and improving the installation reliability of the air-sweeping blade 321.

[0071] In some specific examples, the limiting portion 322 can form a guiding blade. On the basis of ensuring the installation reliability of the air-sweeping blade 321, the air-sweeping member 32 can form at least a double-layer blade structure, further improving the air-sweeping effect of the air-sweeping member 32.

[0072] Of course, the air sweeping component 30 may also include a power component, which can drive the air sweeping member 32 to rotate, so as to change the air outlet direction at the first air outlet 1013 through the air sweeping member 32.

[0073] As Figure 6 shown, in some examples, the rotation axis of the air sweeping member 32 is perpendicular to the rotation axis of the air guiding structure 21, that is, the rotation axis of the air sweeping member 32 is perpendicular to the left-right direction. For example, the rotation axis of the air sweeping member 32 may be perpendicular to the plane where the first air outlet 1013 is located. With such a setting, the effects of directional air supply in the up-down, left-right directions and continuous rotary wide-angle air sweeping can be achieved.

[0074] In some examples, the included angle α between the rotation axis of the air sweeping member 32 and the lower channel wall 1011a of the first channel 1011 is less than or equal to 30°.

[0075] For example, the rotation axis of the air sweeping member 32 may be parallel to the lower channel wall 1011a of the first channel 1011.

[0076] For another example, the rotation axis of the air sweeping member 32 gradually deviates from the lower channel wall 1011a of the first channel 1011 along the gas flow direction in the first channel 1011, and the included angle between the rotation axis of the air sweeping member 32 and the lower channel wall 1011a of the first channel 1011 may be 5°, 10°, 15°, 20°, 25°, 30°.

[0077] For yet another example, the rotation axis of the air sweeping member 32 gradually approaches the lower channel wall 1011a of the first channel 1011 along the air outlet direction, and the included angle between the rotation axis of the air sweeping member 32 and the lower channel wall 1011a of the first channel 1011 may be 5°, 10°, 15°, 20°, 25°, 30°.

[0078] In some other examples, the air sweeping member 32 may be rotatably disposed in the air outlet channel 101 through the mounting shaft 323, and the mounting shaft 323 can rotate within a certain angle range, so as to further improve the air sweeping effect.

[0079] As Figure 4 、 Figures 9 - 12 shown, according to some embodiments of the present invention, the air guiding structure 21 includes a wind guiding plate 211 and two connecting members 212. The wind guiding plate 211 extends along the length direction of the first air outlet 1013 (such as Figure 4 the left-right direction shown), the wind guiding plate 211 is used to open and close the first air outlet 1013, the two connecting members 212 are connected to both ends of the wind guiding plate 211 in the length direction, and at least one driving motor 22 is in transmission connection with one of the connecting members 212.

[0080] Specifically, in an embodiment where the number of driving motors 22 is one, the driving motor 22 may be in transmission connection with the connecting member 212 located on the left side of the air deflector 211 to drive the air guiding structure 21 to rotate, and the connecting member 212 located on the right side of the air deflector 211 may be in rotational cooperation with the right side wall of the housing 11 or a mounting seat separately provided within the housing 11.

[0081] Of course, the driving motor 22 may also be in transmission connection with the connecting member 212 located on the right side of the air deflector 211 to drive the air guiding structure 21 to rotate, and the connecting member 212 located on the left side of the air deflector 211 may be in rotational cooperation with the right side wall of the housing 11 or a mounting seat separately provided within the housing 11.

[0082] In an embodiment where the number of driving motors 22 is two, the two driving motors 22 may be respectively in transmission connection with the connecting members 212 located on the left and right sides of the air deflector 211 to jointly drive the air guiding structure 21 to rotate.

[0083] In the above technical solution, by setting the air guiding structure 21 to include the air deflector 211 and two connecting members 212, it is convenient for the driving motor 22 to drive the air guiding structure 21 to rotate, so that the air deflector 211 can open and close the first air outlet 1013.

[0084] Among them, the air deflector 211 is formed as an arc-shaped plate, so as to avoid the air sweeping assembly 30 while ensuring that the first air outlet 1013 can be normally opened and closed.

[0085] As Figure 6 and Figure 8 shown, in some embodiments, at least one connecting member 212 has an air passing opening 2120, and the air passing opening 2120 communicates with the corresponding second air outlet 1014 and the second channel 1012.

[0086] When the air deflector 211 opens the first air outlet 1013, the connecting member 212 may partially extend from the first air outlet 1013 into the first channel 1011, and the partial structure of the connecting member 212 located in the first channel 1011 will not completely block the second air outlet 1014, so that the air passing opening 2120 communicates with the second air outlet 1014 and the second channel 1012, and the left side and / or the right side of the housing 11 can blow air, which is combined with the air blowing from the lower front side of the housing 11, so as to form multi-dimensional, high-speed and large-air-volume air blowing.

[0087] When the air deflector 211 closes the first air outlet 1013, the connecting member 212 will not completely block the second air outlet 1014, so that the air passing opening 2120 communicates with the second air outlet 1014 and the second channel 1012, and the left side and / or the right side of the housing 11 can blow air, so as to form low-speed and small-air-volume air blowing and avoid the air flow from directly blowing on the user.

[0088] Therefore, in the above technical solution, by providing air passing openings 2120 on at least one connecting member 212 and cooperating with the air deflector 211 that can open and close the first air outlet 1013, the air conditioner 100 can thus switch different air outlet modes to meet different usage requirements.

[0089] As Figures 7 - 12 shown, in some specific embodiments, at least one connecting member 212 includes a plurality of first connecting bars 2121. The plurality of first connecting bars 2121 are arranged radially along a circumference centered on the rotation center of the air deflector 211. Each first connecting bar 2121 extends along the circumferential direction of the circumference. The same ends of the plurality of first connecting bars 2121 are connected to the air deflector 211, and air passing openings 2120 are defined between adjacent two first connecting bars 2121.

[0090] Specifically, the air guiding assembly 20 further includes two rotating shafts 213. The air guiding structure 21 is rotatably supported on the left and right side walls of the housing 11 through the two rotating shafts 213, or the air guiding structure 21 is rotatably supported on a mounting seat provided in the housing 11 through the two rotating shafts 213. The two rotating shafts 213 are connected to the two connecting members 212 in a one-to-one correspondence.

[0091] Among them, the structures of the two connecting members 212 may be the same. For example, each connecting member 212 includes a plurality of first connecting bars 2121. The plurality of first connecting bars 2121 are arranged radially with respect to the rotating shaft 213. Each first connecting bar 2121 forms an arc-shaped structure extending along the circumferential direction of the rotating shaft 213. One side in the thickness direction of the air deflector 211 is connected to the same ends of the plurality of first connecting bars 2121. Air passing openings 2120 are defined between any adjacent two first connecting bars 2121. Cooperating with the second air outlets 1014 on the left and right side walls of the housing 11, the air can thus be discharged from the left and right sides of the housing 11.

[0092] Of course, the structures of the two connecting members 212 may not be the same. For example, the connecting member 212 located on the left side of the air deflector 211 is formed into a plate-like structure to block the second air outlet 1014 on the left side wall of the housing 11. The connecting member 212 located on the right side of the air deflector 211 includes a plurality of first connecting bars 2121. The plurality of first connecting bars 2121 are arranged radially with respect to the rotating shaft 213. Each first connecting bar 2121 forms an arc-shaped structure. The arc-shaped structure extends along the circumferential direction of the rotating shaft 213 located on the right side of the air guiding structure 21. One side in the thickness direction of the air deflector 211 is connected to the same ends of the plurality of first connecting bars 2121. Air passing openings 2120 are defined between any adjacent two first connecting bars 2121. Cooperating with the second air outlet 1014 on the right side wall of the housing 11, the air can thus be discharged from the right side of the housing 11.

[0093] As Figure 8As shown, when the air conditioner 100 is working, the airflow entering the second channel 1012 can flow toward the second air outlet 1014 under the guidance of the first connecting strip 2121, and part of the airflow in the first channel 1011 can also flow toward the second air outlet 1014 under the guidance of the first connecting strip 2121.

[0094] In the above technical solution, by setting the connecting member 212 to include multiple connecting strips, air supply relay can be achieved, so that the air supply angle on the left and / or right side of the casing 11 is larger, thereby increasing the air supply distance on the left and / or right side of the casing 11.

[0095] In some examples, in the length direction of the air guide plate 211 , the first connecting strip 2121 gradually deviates from the rotation axis of the air guide plate 211 in a direction away from the air guide plate 211 .

[0096] With such arrangement, part of the airflow in the first channel 1011 can flow toward the second air outlet 1014 under the guidance of the first connecting strip 2121 , thereby increasing the air volume of the second air outlet 1014 .

[0097] In some examples, the connector 212 further includes at least one second connecting bar 2123 , and the second connecting bar 2123 is connected to the plurality of first connecting bars 2121 , so that the plurality of first connecting bars 2121 are connected as one.

[0098] Specifically, the number of the second connecting bar 2123 may be one, and the second connecting bar 2123 may be connected to the other end of the plurality of first connecting bars 2121 in the length direction, or the second connecting bar 2123 may be connected to the middle of the plurality of first connecting bars 2121 in the length direction.

[0099] The number of the second connecting strips 2123 can be multiple, at least one second connecting strip 2123 is connected to the other end of the multiple first connecting strips 2121 in the length direction, and at least one second connecting strip 2123 is connected to the middle part of the multiple first connecting strips 2121 in the length direction, so that the air outlet 2120 defined by two adjacent first connecting strips 2121 can be separated into multiple air holes.

[0100] Therefore, the connecting member 212 is configured to include a second connecting strip 2123 , so that the plurality of first connecting strips 2121 are further connected as one, which is beneficial to improving the structural strength of the connecting member 212 , thereby improving the reliability of the air guide assembly 20 .

[0101] like Figures 9 - 12 As shown, in some examples, at least one driving motor 22 is connected to one of the connecting members 212 via a transmission mechanism 23, and the transmission mechanism 23 can be a gear transmission mechanism, a connecting rod structure, a belt transmission mechanism, etc.

[0102] In an embodiment where the transmission mechanism 23 is a gear transmission mechanism, the drive motor 22 can be operated by driving the gear transmission mechanism, thereby driving the air guide structure 21 to rotate, making the rotation of the air guide structure 21 stable, and making the structure of the air guide assembly 20 compact, and facilitating the disassembly of the drive motor 22 for easy installation and maintenance.

[0103] Among them, at least one first connecting strip 2121 is provided with meshing teeth 2122, and the meshing teeth 2122 mesh with the gear 231 of the gear transmission mechanism. When the driving motor 22 is working, it can drive the gear transmission mechanism to operate, and the gear transmission mechanism can drive the connecting member 212 to rotate, thereby allowing the air guide plate 211 to rotate to open and close the first air outlet 1013.

[0104] like Figure 9 and Figure 11 As shown, according to some embodiments of the present invention, the drive motor 22 is located on one side of the rotation axis of the air guide structure 21 , and the drive motor 22 is disposed close to the front wall of the housing 11 .

[0105] In this way, the size of the air guide assembly 20 in the left-right direction can be reduced, and the structure of the air guide assembly 20 is more compact, which is conducive to realizing the miniaturized structural design of the air conditioner 100.

[0106] like Figure 13 As shown, according to some embodiments of the present invention, the housing 11 includes a housing body 111 and a front panel 112 , the drive motor 22 is disposed in the housing body 111 , and the drive motor 22 is disposed close to the front wall of the housing body 111 , and the front panel 112 is disposed on the front side of the housing body 111 .

[0107] The shell body 111 has an escape opening 1110 , the driving motor 22 is at least partially exposed from the escape opening 1110 , and the front panel 112 covers the escape opening 1110 .

[0108] Specifically, a support base 24 is provided in the casing 11, and the support base 24 is arranged opposite to the avoidance opening 1110, and the drive motor 22 is installed on the support base 24, so that the drive motor 22 can be arranged opposite to the avoidance opening 1110, so that the drive motor 22 is exposed from the avoidance opening 1110. When the drive motor 22 needs to be maintained, it is only necessary to remove the front panel 112 from the shell body 111, and the drive motor 22 can be conveniently installed, removed and maintained through the avoidance opening 1110, and the operation is simple.

[0109] The driving motor 22 and the connecting member 212 can be connected by a transmission mechanism 23, and the transmission mechanism 23 can also be installed on the support seat 24, so that the driving motor 22 and the transmission mechanism 23 can be integrated into one, making the structure of the air guide assembly 20 more compact.

[0110] In the above technical solution, by configuring the casing 11 to include a casing body 111 and a front panel 112, and providing an escape opening 1110 on the casing body 111, the drive motor 22 can be installed, removed, and maintained as needed, which is simple to operate, helps reduce maintenance costs, and improves the user experience.

[0111] In some embodiments, the drive motors 22 include two, and the two drive motors 22 are respectively connected to the two ends of the air guide structure 21 in the length direction through a transmission mechanism 23 to jointly drive the air guide structure 21 to rotate, which is beneficial to improving the stability and reliability of the rotation of the air guide structure 21.

[0112] Some specific embodiments of the air conditioner 100 according to the present invention are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0113] like Figures 1 - 6 As shown, the air conditioner 100 includes an air conditioner body 10, an air guide assembly 20, an air sweep assembly 30 and a wind shield 40.

The panel is detachably provided on the front side of the shell body 111 to cover the front wall of the shell body 111.

[0115] The air duct component 15 is arranged in the casing 11 and defines an air outlet channel 101. The heat exchanger 12 is arranged in the casing 11 and is arranged near the air inlet 1015.

[0116] The air guide assembly 20 includes an air guide structure 21 , a drive motor 22 and a transmission mechanism 23 .

[0117] The air guiding structure 21 includes an air guiding plate 211, two connecting members 212 and a rotating shaft 213. The two connecting members 212 are connected to the left and right ends of the air guiding plate 211. A rotating shaft 213 is provided on one side of each connecting member 212 facing away from the air guiding plate 211, so that the air guiding structure 21 is rotatably arranged in the housing 11. The connecting member 212 includes a plurality of first connecting bars 2121 and two second connecting bars 2123. The plurality of first connecting bars 2121 are arranged radially with respect to the rotating shaft 213. Each first connecting bar 2121 extends along the circumferential direction of the rotating shaft 213. One end of the plurality of first connecting bars 2121 is connected to one side of the air guiding plate 211 in the thickness direction, and the other end of the plurality of first connecting bars 2121 is connected to one of the second connecting bars 2123. The middle parts of the plurality of first connecting bars 2121 are connected to the other second connecting bar 2123. An air outlet 2120 is defined between any two adjacent first connecting bars 2121. Among the plurality of first connecting bars 2121, a meshing tooth 2122 is provided on one of the first connecting bars 2121 arranged on the outer side along its extending direction.

[0118] The driving motor 22 is arranged close to the front wall of the housing body 111 and is arranged opposite to the avoidance opening 1110, so that the driving motor 22 is exposed. The transmission mechanism 23 is a gear transmission mechanism and includes a gear 231. The gear 231 meshes with the meshing tooth 2122 on the outermost first connecting bar 2121. When the driving motor 22 works, the driving motor 22 can drive the transmission mechanism 23 to operate, so as to drive the air guiding structure 21 to rotate, so as to open and close the first air outlet 1013.

[0119] On the left and right ends of the side of the air sweeping assembly 30 facing away from the first air outlet 1013, wind shielding plates 40 are respectively provided. The two wind shielding plates 40 extend away from each other in the direction close to the first air outlet 1013. The wind shielding plates 40 divide the air outlet passage 101 into a first passage 1011 and a second passage 1012. A second passage 1012 is defined between the wind shielding plates 40 and the air duct member 15.

[0120] The air sweeping assembly 30 includes a mounting bracket 31, a plurality of air sweeping members 32 and a mounting rod 33. The mounting bracket 31 defines a mounting cavity. The mounting bracket 31 has a plurality of ventilation openings 310 arranged in the left-right direction. Each ventilation opening 310 can form a circular opening and is communicated with the mounting cavity. A mounting rod 33 extending in the left-right direction is arranged in the mounting cavity. The plurality of air sweeping members 32 are rotatably arranged on the mounting rod 33 and are respectively located at the plurality of ventilation openings 310.

[0121] When the air deflector 211 closes the first air outlet 1013, the connectors 212 at both ends of the air deflector 211 can be received in the housing 11. At this time, the air passing openings 2120 on the connectors 212 are oppositely arranged and communicated with the second air outlets 1014 on the left side wall or the right side wall of the housing 11. When the air conditioner 100 operates, air can be discharged from the left side and the right side of the housing 11.

[0122] When the air deflector 211 opens the first air outlet 1013, the connectors 212 at both ends of the air deflector 211 partially extend out of the housing 11 from the first air outlet 1013. When the air conditioner 100 operates, multiple first connecting strips 2121 of the connectors 212 cooperate with the air deflector 211 and the air sweeping assembly 30, so that air discharge relay can be formed on the left side and the right side of the housing 11, the air supply range and the air supply distance on the left and right sides can be increased, and, air is discharged from the lower part of the front side of the housing 11, thereby forming multi-dimensional air discharge.

[0123] Since the two second air outlets 1014 on the housing 11 are symmetrically arranged left and right, the air outlet area of the air conditioner 100 can be increased while ensuring the appearance of the air conditioner 100. The housing 11 is arranged to include a housing body 111 and a front panel 112. When the driving motor 22 needs to be maintained, the front panel 112 can be removed, and the driving motor 22 can be removed, maintained, replaced, installed, etc., which is convenient for operation.
