[0043] The embodiments of the present utility model will be described in detail below. The examples of the embodiments are shown in the drawings, in which the same or similar reference numerals indicate the same or similar elements or elements with the same or similar functions from beginning to end. The embodiments described below by referring to the drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present utility model and should not be construed as a limitation to the present utility model.

[0044] Next, refer to Figures 1 - 15 to describe the air conditioner according to the embodiment of the present utility model.

[0045] Refer to Figure 1 , Figure 6 and Figure 9, An air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present utility model includes a housing component 1, a heat exchanger assembly 2, and an air duct assembly 3. The housing component 1 includes a rear housing component 11 and a front housing component 12. The front housing component 12 is connected to the front side of the rear housing component 11. The front housing component 12 is formed with an air outlet 124 and an air inlet 125, and the rear housing component 11 is formed with an air inlet 111. The heat exchanger assembly 2 is disposed inside the housing component 1 and the heat exchanger assembly 2 is located inside the rear housing component 11. The air duct assembly 3 is disposed inside the housing component 1 and the air duct assembly 3 is located between the heat exchanger assembly 2 and the air outlet 124. The air inlet 125 can facilitate the entry of normal-temperature air outside the housing component 1, and can also facilitate the air inside the housing component 1 to flow out through the air inlet 125 to the outside of the housing component 1. For example, when the air outlet 124 and the air inlet 125 are opened, the air inlet 125 can facilitate the entry of normal-temperature air outside the housing component 1 into the housing component 1, and after being mixed with the air that has exchanged heat inside the housing component 1, it is blown out through the air outlet 124 into the room; for another example, when the air outlet 124 is closed and the air inlet 125 is opened, the air inlet 125 can also facilitate the heat-exchanged air inside the housing component 1 to be blown out through the air inlet 125 into the room to cool or heat the room.

[0046] The front housing component 12 has an air outlet passage 121 and an air inlet passage 122. The air inlet passage 122 is located above the air outlet passage 121. There is a communication port 123 between the air inlet passage 122 and the air outlet passage 121 for communicating the air inlet passage 122 with the air outlet passage 121. The air outlet 124 is opposite to the air outlet passage 121 and the air outlet 124 is communicated with the air outlet passage 121. The air inlet 125 is located above the air outlet passage 121 and the air inlet 125 is communicated with the air inlet passage 122. The air duct assembly 3 includes an air duct volute 31 and a blower wheel 32. The air duct volute 31 has an air duct 311. At least part of the blower wheel 32 is located inside the air duct 311. The air duct 311 communicates the air inlet 111 with the air outlet passage 121. When the air conditioner is operating, the blower wheel 32 can drive the air flow to enter the rear housing component 11 through the air inlet 111 and flow towards the heat exchanger assembly 2. The air that has exchanged heat through the heat exchanger assembly 2 can flow towards the air outlet passage 121 through the air duct 311 inside the air duct volute 31, and then is blown out through the air outlet 124 into the room to cool or heat the room.

[0047] Among them, at least part of the blower wheel 32 being located inside the air duct 311 can include the following situations: For example, it can be that the entire blower wheel 32 is located inside the air duct 311; for another example, it can be that a part of the blower wheel 32 is located inside the air duct 311.

[0048] The air intake port 125 can introduce the indoor normal-temperature air into the air intake passage 122, flow into the air outlet passage 121 through the communication port 123, mix with the air that has been heat-exchanged by the heat exchanger assembly 2 in the air outlet passage 121, and then be sent out from the air outlet 124, which can make the airflow at the air outlet 124 more comfortable, and thus can improve the user experience.

[0049] When the air conditioner is working and the air outlet 124 and the air intake port 125 are in the open state, the impeller 32 can drive the airflow to enter the rear housing component 11 through the air inlet 111 and flow towards the heat exchanger assembly 2. The air that has been heat-exchanged by the heat exchanger assembly 2 can flow through the air passage 311 in the air duct volute 31 to the air outlet passage 121, and then be blown out to the room through the air outlet 124. At this time, there is a high-speed flowing gas flowing out at the air outlet 124, which can form a negative pressure area near the air outlet passage 121. For example, the air intake passage 122 can be formed into a negative pressure area, so that the normal-temperature air outside the casing can be introduced into the air intake passage 122 through the air intake port 125, flow into the air outlet passage 121 through the communication port 123, mix with the air that has been heat-exchanged by the heat exchanger assembly 2 in the air outlet passage 121, and then be sent out from the air outlet 124, making the air blown out from the air outlet 124 neither too cold nor too hot, and making the airflow blown out from the air outlet 124 more comfortable.

[0050] For example, when the air outlet 124 and the air intake port 125 are in the open state and the air conditioner is in the cooling mode, the impeller 32 can drive the airflow to enter the rear housing component 11 through the air inlet 111 and flow towards the heat exchanger assembly 2. The air that has been heat-exchanged by the heat exchanger assembly 2 can flow through the air passage 311 in the air duct volute 31 to the air outlet passage 121, and then be blown out to the room through the air outlet 124. At this time, there is a high-speed flowing gas flowing out at the air outlet 124, which can form a negative pressure area near the air outlet passage 121. For example, the air intake passage 122 can be formed into a negative pressure area, and the normal-temperature air outside the casing can be introduced into the air intake passage 122 through the air intake port 125, flow into the air outlet passage 121 through the communication port 123, and mix with the relatively low-temperature air that has been heat-exchanged by the heat exchanger assembly 2 in the air outlet passage 121, and then be sent out from the air outlet 124. The normal-temperature air introduced through the air intake port 125 and the air intake passage 122 is relatively higher in temperature than the heat-exchanged air, and the temperature of the air heat-exchanged by the heat exchanger assembly 2 is relatively lower. After the relatively low-temperature heat-exchanged air is mixed with the introduced normal-temperature air, the airflow temperature at the air outlet 124 can be made more comfortable.

[0051] For another example, when the air outlet 124 and the air induction port 125 are in the open state and the air conditioner is in the heating mode, the air impeller 32 can drive the air flow to enter the rear housing component 11 through the air inlet 111 and flow towards the heat exchanger assembly 2. The air after heat exchange by the heat exchanger assembly 2 can flow through the air duct 311 in the air duct volute 31 towards the air outlet passage 121, and then be blown out to the room through the air outlet 124. At this time, there is a high-speed flowing gas flowing out at the air outlet 124, which can form a negative pressure area near the air outlet passage 121. For example, the air induction passage 122 can be formed as a negative pressure area. The normal-temperature air outside the housing component 1 can be introduced into the air induction passage 122 through the air induction port 125, flow into the air outlet passage 121 through the communication port 123, and be mixed with the air after heat exchange by the heat exchanger assembly 2 in the air outlet passage 121, and then be sent out from the air outlet 124. The normal-temperature air introduced through the air induction port 125 and the air induction passage 122 has a relatively higher temperature compared with the air after heat exchange, and the temperature of the air after heat exchange by the heat exchange component is relatively lower. The air with a lower temperature after heat exchange can be mixed with the introduced normal-temperature air to make the air flow temperature at the air outlet 124 more comfortable.

[0052] For another example, when the air outlet 124 is in the closed state, the air induction port 125 is in the open state and the air conditioner is operating, the air impeller 32 can drive the air flow to enter the rear housing component 11 through the air inlet 111 and flow towards the heat exchanger assembly 2. The air after heat exchange by the heat exchanger assembly 2 can flow through the air duct 311 in the air duct volute 31 towards the air outlet passage 121. The air outlet passage 121 and the air induction passage 122 are connected through the communication port 123. The air in the air outlet passage 121 can flow into the air induction passage 122 through the communication port 123, and then flow out to the room through the air induction port 125 to cool or heat the room. Since the air induction port 125 is located above the air outlet passage 121 and also above the air outlet 124, the position of the air outlet is relatively high, which can reduce the discomfort caused by direct blowing, thereby improving the user experience.

[0053] By forming the air induction port 125 on the front housing component 12 and the air induction port 125 being located above the air outlet passage 121, external normal-temperature air can be introduced, mixed with the air after heat exchange, and blown out through the air outlet 124, making the air outlet temperature more comfortable; moreover, when the air outlet 124 is closed, the air flow after heat exchange can be blown out from the relatively high-positioned air induction port 125, which can reduce the discomfort caused by direct blowing and improve the user experience. In addition, by the air induction port 125 and the air induction passage 122 being located above the air outlet passage 121, while realizing the air mixing function of the air conditioner, the space in the room along the up and down direction can be fully utilized, the width of the air conditioner can be reduced, and thus the occupation of the space in the horizontal direction of the room can be reduced.

[0054] According to the air conditioner of the embodiment of the present utility model, through the provided air guiding channel 122 and the air guiding opening 125, the normal temperature air outside can be introduced, mixed with the air after heat exchange in the air conditioner, and then blown out through the air outlet 124, which can make the air blown out by the air conditioner more comfortable; moreover, by making the air guiding channel 122 and the air guiding opening 125 located above the air outlet channel 121, while realizing the air mixing function of the air conditioner, the space in the room along the up and down direction can be fully utilized, the width of the air conditioner can be reduced, and thus the occupation of the space in the horizontal direction in the room can be reduced.

[0055] Referring to Figure 13 and Figure 15 , according to some embodiments of the present utility model, there is a partition 126 between the air guiding channel 122 and the air outlet channel 121, and a communication opening 123 is formed on the partition 126. The partition 126 can separate the air guiding channel 122 from the air outlet channel 121, so that the normal temperature air in the air guiding channel 122 and the air flow in the air outlet channel 121 are relatively independent before mixing, reducing or avoiding the possibility that the air flow after heat exchange by the heat exchanger in the air outlet channel 121 enters the air guiding channel 122, and through the communication opening 123 on the partition 126, it is convenient for the normal temperature air in the air guiding channel 122 to enter the air outlet channel 121 to be mixed with the air after heat exchange by the heat exchanger assembly 2 in the air outlet channel 121, and then discharged into the room through the air outlet 124.

[0056] Referring to Figure 4 , Figure 13 and Figure 15 , according to some embodiments of the present utility model, the communication opening 123 includes a plurality of sub-communication openings 127 arranged at intervals. The plurality of sub-communication openings 127 can increase the communication area between the air outlet channel 121 and the air guiding channel 122, so that the normal temperature air in the air guiding channel 122 can enter the air outlet channel 121 more smoothly through the sub-communication openings 127, thereby improving the mixing effect of the air flow in the air outlet channel 121, effectively adjusting the air outlet temperature at the air outlet 124, making the air outlet temperature more comfortable, and improving the user experience.

[0057] Referring to Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 6, according to some embodiments of the present utility model, there are two air outlets 124 arranged at intervals left and right, which can increase the air outlet area of the air conditioner. The air outlet passage 121 includes an air outlet main passage 128 and two air outlet branch passages 129. The two air outlet branch passages 129 are located on the downstream side of the air outlet main passage 128. The air outlet main passage 128 connects the air duct 311 with the air outlet branch passages 129. The two air outlet branch passages 129 respectively correspond to the two air outlets 124. Each air outlet branch passage 129 connects the corresponding air outlet 124 with the air outlet main passage 128. The air heated by the heat exchanger assembly 2 can flow into the air outlet main passage 128 and flow into the air outlet branch passages 129, and then flow out to the room through the air outlets 124 corresponding to the air outlet branch passages 129 to heat or cool the room. By arranging the two air outlet branch passages 129 on the downstream side of the air outlet main passage 128 and making the two air outlet branch passages 129 respectively correspond to the two air outlets 124, the air outlet branch passages 129 can disperse the air flow in the air outlet main passage 128 and play a role in guiding the air flow, so that the air flow can flow out smoothly through the two air outlets 124, and the air flow blown out from the two air outlets 124 can be made more uniform.

[0058] Moreover, at least part of the projection of the communication port 123 on the horizontal plane overlaps with at least part of the projection of the air outlet main passage 128 on the horizontal plane, and at least part of the projection of the communication port 123 on the horizontal plane overlaps with at least part of the projection of the air outlet branch passage 129 on the horizontal plane, which can shorten the flow path of the normal-temperature air in the air guiding passage 122 flowing into the air outlet passage 121, reduce the loss of the normal-temperature air in the air guiding passage 122 during the flowing process, so as to effectively improve the mixing effect of the normal-temperature air in the air guiding passage 122 entering the air outlet passage 121 and the air heated by the heat exchanger assembly 2 in the air outlet passage 121, and further make the air flow at the air outlet 124 more comfortable.

[0059] Among them, the situation that at least part of the projection of the communication port 123 on the horizontal plane overlaps with at least part of the projection of the air outlet main passage 128 on the horizontal plane can include the following cases: for example, it can be that part of the projection of the communication port 123 on the horizontal plane overlaps with part of the projection of the air outlet main passage 128 on the horizontal plane; for another example, it can also be that the projection of the communication port 123 on the horizontal plane completely overlaps with the projection of the air outlet main passage 128 on the horizontal plane.

[0060] The situation that at least part of the projection of the communication port 123 on the horizontal plane overlaps with at least part of the projection of the air outlet branch passage 129 on the horizontal plane can include the following cases: for example, it can be that part of the projection of the communication port 123 on the horizontal plane overlaps with part of the projection of the air outlet branch passage 129 on the horizontal plane; for another example, it can be that the projection of the communication port 123 on the horizontal plane completely overlaps with the projection of the air outlet branch passage 129 on the horizontal plane.

[0061] Refer to Figure 4 and Figure 6, according to some embodiments of the present utility model, the communication port 123 includes a plurality of sub-communication ports 127 arranged at intervals. The projection of some sub-communication ports 127 on the horizontal plane is located within the projection of the main air outlet channel 128 on the horizontal plane, and the projection of some sub-communication ports 127 on the horizontal plane is located within the projection of the branch air outlet channel 129 on the horizontal plane. Some sub-communication ports 127 communicate with the main air outlet channel 128, and some sub-communication ports 127 communicate with the branch air outlet channel 129. The plurality of sub-communication ports 127 can increase the communication area between the air guiding channel 122 and the air outlet channel 121, so that the normal temperature air in the air guiding channel 122 can more smoothly enter the main air outlet channel 128 and the branch air outlet channel 129 through each sub-communication port 127, and fully mix with the air flow after heat exchange in the main air outlet channel 128 and the branch air outlet channel 129. This can make the mixing effect of the air flow in the air outlet channel 121 more uniform, and make the air flow at the air outlet 124 more comfortable, which is beneficial to improving the user experience.

[0062] In the description of the present utility model, "a plurality of" means two or more.

[0063] Refer to Figure 6 、 Figure 8 and Figure 13 , according to some embodiments of the present utility model, an air guiding groove 1203 is formed on the inner wall of the air outlet channel 121, and the air guiding groove 1203 extends upward to the communication port 123. The air guiding groove 1203 can play a guiding role in the normal temperature air flowing to the communication port 123, so that the normal temperature air can more smoothly flow into the air outlet channel 121 through the air guiding groove 1203 and mix with the air after heat exchange in the air outlet channel 121. Moreover, the air guiding groove 1203 can guide the normal temperature air to flow downward, which can increase the contact area between the normal temperature air and the air after heat exchange in the air outlet channel 121, so that more normal temperature air can mix with the air after heat exchange in the air outlet channel 121. Furthermore, the mixing effect of the normal temperature air and the air after heat exchange entering the air outlet channel 121 can be more uniform, and the air flow at the air outlet 124 can be more comfortable, which can further improve the user experience.

[0064] Refer to Figure 6 、 Figure 8 and Figure 13 , according to some embodiments of the present utility model, there are a plurality of air guiding grooves 1203, and the plurality of air guiding grooves 1203 are arranged at intervals in the left-right direction. The plurality of air guiding grooves 1203 can enhance the guiding effect on the normal temperature air flowing to the communication port 123, so that more normal temperature air can more smoothly flow downward into the air outlet channel 121 through each air guiding groove 1203 and fully mix with the air flow after heat exchange in the air outlet channel 121. Furthermore, the mixing effect of the air flow in the air outlet channel 121 can be more uniform.

[0065] Referring to Figure 6 、 Figure 8 and Figure 13 ,According to some embodiments of the present utility model, the ratio of the dimension of the air guiding groove 1203 extending in the up and down direction to the dimension of the air outlet channel 121 extending in the up and down direction is greater than 1 / 8. For example, the ratio of the dimension of the air guiding groove 1203 extending in the up and down direction to the dimension of the air outlet channel 121 in the up and down direction can be 1 / 7, 1 / 6, 1 / 5, 1 / 3, 1 / 2, etc. By making the ratio of the dimension of the air guiding groove 1203 extending in the up and down direction to the dimension of the air outlet channel 121 extending in the up and down direction greater than 1 / 8, it can be ensured that the normal temperature air flowing to the communication port 123 can be fully mixed with the heat-exchanged air in the air outlet channel 121 through the air guiding groove 1203 downward, so as to make the air outlet of the air conditioner more comfortable.

[0066] Referring to Figure 6 、 Figure 8 and Figure 13 ,According to some embodiments of the present utility model, the ratio of the dimension of the air guiding groove 1203 extending in the up and down direction to the dimension of the air outlet channel 121 extending in the up and down direction is 1 / 6 to 1 / 2. For example, the ratio of the dimension of the air guiding groove 1203 extending in the up and down direction to the dimension of the air outlet channel 121 in the up and down direction can be 1 / 6, 1 / 5, 1 / 4, 1 / 3, 1 / 2, etc. By making the ratio of the dimension of the air guiding groove 1203 extending in the up and down direction to the dimension of the air outlet channel 121 extending in the up and down direction not less than 1 / 6, it can be ensured that the normal temperature air flowing to the communication port 123 can be mixed with the heat-exchanged air in the air outlet channel 121 through the air guiding groove 1203 downward, so as to make the air outlet of the air conditioner more comfortable; by making the ratio of the dimension of the air guiding groove 1203 extending in the up and down direction to the dimension of the air outlet channel 121 extending in the up and down direction not greater than 1 / 2, while realizing the air mixing function of the air conditioner, it is convenient to optimize the internal layout of the air conditioner and avoid occupying too much space due to the ratio of the dimension of the air guiding groove 1203 extending in the up and down direction to the dimension of the air outlet channel 121 extending in the up and down direction being too large.

[0067] By making the ratio of the dimension of the air guiding groove 1203 extending in the up and down direction to the dimension of the air outlet channel 121 extending in the up and down direction be 1 / 6 to 1 / 2, it can be ensured that the normal temperature air flowing to the communication port 123 can be mixed with the heat-exchanged air in the air outlet channel 121 through the air guiding groove 1203 downward, so as to make the air outlet of the air conditioner more comfortable, and while realizing the air mixing function of the air conditioner, it is convenient to optimize the internal layout of the air conditioner.

The rear sealing plate 134 is connected to the rear end of the rear air outlet frame 133, the front sealing plate 138 is connected to the front end of the front air outlet frame 132. The rear sealing plate 134 can seal the rear side of the air guiding channel 122, and the front sealing plate 138 can seal the front side of the air guiding channel 122. By jointly defining the air guiding channel 122 by the front sealing plate 138, the rear sealing plate 134, the rear air outlet frame 133 and the front air outlet frame 132, the possibility that the heat-exchanged air flow in the air duct 311 flows into the air guiding channel 122 through the rear end of the rear air outlet frame 133 or the heat-exchanged air flow in the air outlet channel 121 flows into the air guiding channel 122 through the front end of the front air outlet frame 132 can be reduced or avoided, and the normal-temperature air in the air guiding channel 122 can flow through the communication port 123 into the air outlet channel 121 as much as possible to mix with the heat-exchanged air flow in the air outlet channel 121, so that the air flow at the air outlet 124 is more comfortable.

[0082] Refer to Figure 8 , Figure 13 and Figure 15, according to some embodiments of the present utility model, the rear sealing plate 134 and the rear air outlet frame 133 are integrally formed, which can improve the overall structural strength of the rear sealing plate 134 and the rear air outlet frame 133, and can eliminate the assembly process between the rear sealing plate 134 and the rear air outlet frame 133.

[0083] Refer to Figure 9 , Figure 10 and Figure 12 , according to some embodiments of the present utility model, the front sealing plate 138 and the front air outlet frame 132 are integrally formed, which can improve the overall structural strength of the front sealing plate 138 and the front air outlet frame 132, and can eliminate the assembly process between the front sealing plate 138 and the front air outlet frame 132.

[0084] Refer to Figure 8 , Figure 12 and Figure 15 , according to some embodiments of the present utility model, the rear sealing plate 134 and the rear air outlet frame 133 are integrally formed; and, the front sealing plate 138 and the front air outlet frame 132 are integrally formed, which can improve the overall structural strength of the rear sealing plate 134 and the rear air outlet frame 133 and the overall structural strength of the front sealing plate 138 and the front air outlet frame 132, and can eliminate the assembly process between the rear sealing plate 134 and the rear air outlet frame 133 and the assembly process between the front sealing plate 138 and the front air outlet frame 132.

[0085] Refer to Figure 13 and Figure 15 , according to some embodiments of the present utility model, the front shell component 12 further includes a partition plate 126, the partition plate 126 is disposed between the rear air outlet frame 133 and the partition plate 126 is located between the air guiding channel 122 and the air outlet channel 121, and a communication port 123 is formed on the partition plate 126. The partition plate 126 can separate the air guiding channel 122 from the air outlet channel 121, ensure that the normal temperature air in the air guiding channel 122 and the air flow in the air outlet channel 121 are relatively independent before mixing, and is connected to the front end of the front air outlet frame 132 through the front sealing plate 138, and the rear sealing plate 134 is connected to the rear end of the rear air outlet frame 133. The front sealing plate 138, the rear sealing plate 134, the partition plate 126, the rear air outlet frame 133 and the front air outlet frame 132 jointly define the air guiding channel 122, which can reduce or avoid the possibility that the heat-exchanged air flow in the air duct 311 flows into the air guiding channel 122 through the rear end of the rear air outlet frame 133 or the heat-exchanged air flow in the air outlet channel 121 flows into the air guiding channel 122 through the front end of the front air outlet frame 132, and enables the normal temperature air in the air guiding channel 122 to flow into the air outlet channel 121 through the communication port 123 on the partition plate 126 as much as possible to mix with the heat-exchanged air flow in the air outlet channel 121, thereby improving the mixing effect of the normal temperature air in the air guiding channel 122 flowing into the air outlet channel 121 and the heat-exchanged air flow in the air outlet channel 121, so that the air flow at the air outlet 124 is more comfortable.

[0086] For example, the partition plate 126 and the rear air outlet frame 133 are integrally formed, which can improve the overall structural strength of the partition plate 126 and the rear air outlet frame 133, and can eliminate the assembly process between the partition plate 126 and the rear air outlet frame 133.

[0087] Referring to Figures 10 - 12 , according to some embodiments of the present invention, a sealing rib plate 135 is formed on the front air outlet frame 132. The sealing rib plate 135 is in sealing contact with the partition plate 126 in the front-rear direction. The sealing rib plate 135 being in contact with the partition plate 126 in the front-rear direction can separate the air guiding channel 122 from the air outlet channel 121, reducing the possibility that the air flow after heat exchange in the air outlet channel 121 flows into the air guiding channel 122 through the gap between the front air outlet frame 132 and the partition plate 126.

[0088] Referring to Figure 9 , according to some embodiments of the present invention, an air guiding door 136 for opening and closing the air guiding port 125 is provided at the air guiding port 125. The opening or closing of the air guiding port 125 can be controlled through the air guiding door 136, thereby realizing the intelligent control of the air guiding function of the air conditioner and improving the user experience.

[0089] For example, the air guiding door 136 can be rotatably arranged at the air guiding port 125. By adjusting the rotation angle of the air guiding door 136, the flow direction of the air flow at the air guiding port 125 can be guided.

[0090] For example, the driving mechanism for driving the air guiding plate to move can include a driving motor. The driving mechanism for driving the air guiding plate to move can be installed on the front shell component 12. For example, the driving mechanism for driving the air guiding plate to move can be installed on the front air outlet frame 132.

[0091] Referring to Figure 8 and Figure 9 , according to some embodiments of the present invention, a plurality of air guiding ports 125 are arranged at intervals, which can increase the air guiding area of the air conditioner, enabling the air outside the casing component 1 to enter the air guiding channel 122 more smoothly through the plurality of air guiding ports 125, thereby effectively improving the mixing effect of the air flow in the air outlet channel 121, making the air flow at the air outlet 124 more comfortable, and enhancing the user experience.

[0092] Referring to Figure 8 and Figure 9 , according to some embodiments of the present invention, at least one air guiding port 125 is located on the top side of the front shell component 12, and at least one air guiding port 125 is located on the front side of the front shell component 12, which can make full use of the space of the air conditioner, enabling the air guiding ports 125 and the air outlets 124 to be arranged orderly, and facilitating the layout optimization of the air conditioner.

[0093] For example, there are two air intake openings 125, one of which is located on the top side of the front shell component 12 and the other is located on the front side of the front shell component 12.

[0094] Optionally, there are multiple air intake doors 136, and the air intake doors 136 correspond to the air intake openings 125 one by one. The air intake doors 136 are used to open or close the air intake openings 125.

[0095] Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 4 According to some embodiments of the present utility model, at the air outlet 124, there is a wind deflector 139 for opening and closing the air outlet 124. The wind deflector 139 can guide the airflow flowing out through the air outlet 124. For example, the wind deflector 139 is rotatably arranged at the air outlet 124. By adjusting the rotation amplitude of the wind deflector 139, the air outlet 124 can be opened or closed, and the direction of the airflow at the air outlet 124 can also be adjusted.

[0096] Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 4 According to some embodiments of the present utility model, a plurality of ventilation holes are formed on the wind deflector 139. The ventilation holes penetrate the wind deflector 139 along the thickness direction of the wind deflector 139. The air conditioner has a no-wind feeling mode. In the no-wind feeling mode, the wind deflector 139 closes the air outlet 124. When the air conditioner is in the no-wind feeling mode, the wind deflector 139 is in the closed position. The airflow enters the casing through the air inlet 111 and flows towards the heat exchange and air supply assembly. The airflow after heat exchange by the heat exchange and air supply assembly can be blown out through the ventilation holes on the wind deflector 139, which can make the air flow out from the air outlet 124 more gentle, thereby improving the user experience.

[0097] In addition, when the air conditioner is in the no-wind feeling mode and the wind deflector 139 is in the closed position and the air intake opening 125 is in the open position, a part of the airflow in the air outlet passage 121 is blown out through the ventilation holes on the wind deflector 139 into the room. Since the air pressure in the air outlet passage 121 is relatively high at this time, another part of the airflow in the air outlet passage 121 can also flow into the air intake passage 122 through the communication port 123 and then be blown out through the air intake opening 125, which can increase the air outlet area of the air conditioner in the no-wind feeling mode, quickly meet the required cooling / heating effect of the user, and since the air intake opening 125 is located above the air outlet passage 121 and the air intake opening 125 is also located above the air outlet 124, the position of the air outlet is relatively high, which can reduce the discomfort caused by direct blowing, and further improve the user experience.

[0098] Next, refer to Figures 1 - 15 Describe the air conditioner according to some embodiments of the present utility model.

[0099] Refer to Figure 9 、 Figure 12 andFigure 15 In this embodiment, the air conditioner is a split floor-standing air conditioner, which includes an indoor unit 100 and an outdoor unit. The indoor unit 100 includes a housing component 1, an air duct assembly 3, and a heat exchanger assembly 2.

[0100] The housing component 1 includes a rear housing component 11 and a front housing component 12. The front housing component 12 is connected to the front side of the rear housing component 11. The front housing component 12 is formed with an air outlet 124 and an air induction port 125, and the rear housing component 11 is formed with an air inlet 111. The heat exchanger assembly 2 is disposed within the housing component 1 and is located within the rear housing component 11. The air duct assembly 3 is disposed within the housing component 1 and is located between the heat exchanger assembly 2 and the air outlet 124. The front housing component 12 has an air outlet passage 121 and an air induction passage 122. The air induction passage 122 is located above the air outlet passage 121. There is a communication port 123 between the air induction passage 122 and the air outlet passage 121 for communicating the air induction passage 122 with the air outlet passage 121. The air outlet 124 is opposite to the air outlet passage 121 and is in communication with the air outlet passage 121. The air induction port 125 is located above the air outlet passage 121 and is in communication with the air induction passage 122. The air duct assembly 3 includes an air duct volute 31 and a blower wheel 32. The air duct volute 31 has an air duct 311, and at least a part of the blower wheel 32 is located within the air duct 311. The air duct 311 communicates the air inlet 111 with the air outlet passage 121.

[0101] The air outlets 124 are two spaced left and right. At the air outlets 124, there are air deflector plates 139 for opening and closing the air outlets 124. A plurality of ventilation holes are formed on the air deflector plates 139, and the ventilation holes penetrate the air deflector plates 139 along the thickness direction of the air deflector plates 139. The air conditioner has a draft-free mode. In the draft-free mode, the air deflector plates 139 close the air outlets 124.

[0102] The air outlet passage 121 includes an air outlet main passage 128 and two air outlet branch passages 129. The two air outlet branch passages 129 are located on the downstream side of the air outlet main passage 128. The air outlet main passage 128 communicates the air duct 311 with the air outlet branch passages 129. The two air outlet branch passages 129 respectively correspond to the two air outlets 124. Each air outlet branch passage 129 communicates the corresponding air outlet 124 with the air outlet main passage 128. The communication port 123 includes a plurality of sub-communication ports 127 arranged at intervals. The projection of some sub-communication ports 127 on the horizontal plane is located within the projection of the air outlet main passage 128 on the horizontal plane, and the projection of some sub-communication ports 127 on the horizontal plane is located within the projection of the air outlet branch passage 129 on the horizontal plane.

[0103] There are multiple air intake openings 125 arranged at intervals. At least one air intake opening 125 is located on the top side of the front housing member 12, and at least one air intake opening 125 is located on the front side of the front housing member 12. An air intake door 136 for opening and closing the air intake opening 125 is provided at the air intake opening 125.

[0104] The front housing member 12 includes a first rear end portion 130, a second rear end portion 131, a front air outlet frame 132, a rear air outlet frame 133, a front panel 137, a front sealing plate 138, a rear sealing plate 134, and a partition plate 126. The first rear end portion 130 is located above the second rear end portion 131. The first rear end portion 130 is located at the rear side of the air intake passage 122 and the first rear end portion 130 is closed. The second rear end portion 131 is located at the rear side of the air outlet passage 121 and the second rear end portion 131 is open. The front air outlet frame 132 is detachably connected to the front end of the rear air outlet frame 133, and the front air outlet frame 132 and the rear air outlet frame 133 jointly define the air outlet passage 121. The front panel 137 is detachably connected to the front side of the front air outlet frame 132, and an air outlet 124 is defined between the front panel 137 and the front air outlet frame 132. The rear side of the front air outlet frame 132 is open, and the rear side of the rear air outlet frame 133 is open. The rear sealing plate 134 is connected to the rear end of the rear air outlet frame 133. The front sealing plate 138 is connected to the front end of the front air outlet frame 132 and the front sealing plate 138 is located above the front panel 137. The partition plate 126 is provided in the rear air outlet frame 133 and the partition plate 126 is located between the air intake passage 122 and the air outlet passage 121. A communication port 123 is formed on the partition plate 126. The front sealing plate 138, the rear sealing plate 134, the partition plate 126, the rear air outlet frame 133, and the front air outlet frame 132 jointly define the air intake passage 122. The rear sealing plate 134 and the rear air outlet frame 133 are integrally formed, the partition plate 126 and the rear air outlet frame 133 are integrally formed, and the front sealing plate 138 and the front air outlet frame 132 are integrally formed.

[0105] Sealing rib plates 135 are formed on the front air outlet frame 132, and the sealing rib plates 135 are in sealing contact with the partition plate 126 in the front-rear direction.

[0106] For example, when the air outlet 124 and the air induction port 125 are in the open state and the air conditioner is in the cooling mode, the impeller 32 can drive the air flow to enter the rear housing component 11 through the air inlet 111 and flow towards the heat exchanger assembly 2. The air after being heat-exchanged by the heat exchanger assembly 2 can flow towards the main air outlet passage 128 through the air passage 311 in the air duct volute 31, and then be blown out of the air outlet 124 into the room. At this time, there is a high-speed flowing gas flowing out of the air outlet 124, which can form a negative pressure area near the air outlet passage 121. For example, the air induction passage 122 can be formed into a negative pressure area. The normal-temperature air outside the housing can be introduced into the air induction passage 122 through the air induction port 125, flow into the main air outlet passage 128 and the air outlet branch passage 129 through the sub-communication port 127, and be mixed with the air after being heat-exchanged by the heat exchanger assembly 2 in the main air outlet passage 128 and the air outlet branch passage 129. Then, the normal-temperature air introduced through the air induction port 125 and the air induction passage 122 is sent out from the air outlet 124. The temperature of the normal-temperature air introduced through the air induction port 125 and the air induction passage 122 is relatively high, and the temperature of the air after being heat-exchanged by the heat exchanger assembly 2 is relatively low. The air with a lower temperature after heat exchange can be mixed with the introduced normal-temperature air to make the air flow temperature at the air outlet 124 more comfortable.

[0107] For another example, when the air outlet 124 and the air induction port 125 are in the open state and the air conditioner is in the heating mode, the impeller 32 can drive the air flow to enter the rear housing component 11 through the air inlet 111 and flow towards the heat exchanger assembly 2. The air after being heat-exchanged by the heat exchanger assembly 2 can flow towards the main air outlet passage 128 through the air passage 311 in the air duct volute 31, and then be blown out of the air outlet 124 into the room. At this time, there is a high-speed flowing gas flowing out of the air outlet 124, which can form a negative pressure area near the air outlet passage 121. For example, the air induction passage 122 can be formed into a negative pressure area. The normal-temperature air outside the housing component 1 can be introduced into the air induction passage 122 through the air induction port 125, flow into the main air outlet passage 128 and the air outlet branch passage 129 through the sub-communication port 127, and be mixed with the air with a higher temperature in the main air outlet passage 128 and the air outlet branch passage 129. Then, it is sent out from the air outlet 124. The temperature of the normal-temperature air introduced through the air induction port 125 and the air induction passage 122 is relatively high, and the temperature of the air after being heat-exchanged by the heat exchanger assembly is relatively low. The air with a lower temperature after heat exchange can be mixed with the introduced normal-temperature air to make the air flow temperature at the air outlet 124 more comfortable.

[0108] For another example, when the air outlet 124 is in the closed state, the air inlet 125 is in the open state, and the air conditioner is operating, the impeller 32 can drive the air flow to enter the rear housing component 11 through the air inlet 111 and flow towards the heat exchanger assembly 2. The air after being heat-exchanged by the heat exchanger assembly 2 can flow towards the air outlet passage 121 through the air duct 311 in the air duct volute 31. By connecting the air outlet passage 121 and the air guiding passage 122 through the connecting port 123, the air in the air outlet passage 121 can flow into the air guiding passage 122 through the connecting port 123, and then flow out of the air inlet 125 to the room to cool or heat the room. Since the air inlet 125 is located above the air outlet passage 121 and also above the air outlet 124, the position of the air outlet is relatively high, which can reduce the discomfort caused by direct blowing, thereby improving the user experience.
