[0030] The embodiments of the present utility model will be described in detail below. The examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below by referring to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to explain the present utility model, and should not be construed as a limitation to the present utility model.

[0031] Below, refer to the attached Figures 1 to 6 Describe the lighting component and the vertical air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present utility model.

[0032] As Figures 1 to 6 shown, the lighting component according to an embodiment of the present utility model includes: a light-emitting component 4 and an upper plate 21 and a lower plate 22 that are connected to each other. The lower plate 22 and the upper plate 21 are arranged oppositely. The light-emitting component 4 is installed on the top of the upper plate 21. A light-transmitting part 2121 is provided at a position of the upper plate 21 opposite to the light-emitting component 4. The light-emitting component 4 can emit light indicating the working mode, and the light of the light-emitting component 4 is projected onto the lower plate 22 through the light-transmitting part 2121.

[0033] It can be understood that the upper plate 21 is installed on the upper side of the lower plate 22, and the light-emitting component 4 is installed on a side of the upper plate 21 facing away from the lower plate 22. That is, the light-emitting component 4 is installed on the upper end surface of the upper plate 21 and projects light downward through the light-transmitting part 2121.

[0034] According to the lighting component of the embodiment of the present utility model, by installing the light-emitting component 4 on the top of the upper plate 21, and the light-emitting component 4 can emit light indicating the working mode, and the light of the light-emitting component 4 is projected onto the lower plate 22 through the light-transmitting part 2121. Therefore, the user can judge the working mode of the vertical air conditioner according to the indicating light emitted by the light-emitting component 4. In addition, the lighting component of the embodiment of the present utility model projects the light of the light-emitting component 4 to the position of the air outlet channel 23, and the sense of atmosphere is good, which is beneficial to improving the user experience.

[0035] Optionally, the light-transmitting portion 2121 is a light-transmitting plate, which is formed on the upper plate 21. It is understood that the upper plate 21 can be made of a transparent or translucent material. The light emitted by the light-emitting element 4 can be irradiated onto the lower plate 22 through the upper plate 21. Since the light-transmitting plate is formed on the upper plate 21, the integrity of the upper plate 21 is better, and the appearance is simple and beautiful.

[0036] For example, the light-transmitting plate has a frosted surface. It is understandable that the frosted surface can disperse the light so that the emitted light is softer and less dazzling, which is beneficial to improving the user experience.

[0037] In other examples, the light-transmitting portion 2121 is a light-transmitting hole (not shown), which is opened on the upper plate 21. This can avoid blocking and interference of light, improve the brightness of the light emitted by the light-emitting element 4, and the processing and manufacturing method is simple.

[0038] Alternatively, if Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, a receiving groove 214 is provided on the side of the upper plate 21 away from the lower plate 22, and the light-emitting member 4 is installed in the receiving groove 214. It can be understood that the receiving groove 214 is provided on the top of the upper plate 21, and the light-emitting member 4 is installed in the receiving groove 214, which can improve the firmness of the fixing of the light-emitting member 4 and avoid the problem of the light-emitting member 4 shaking relative to the upper plate 21.

[0039] In some embodiments, Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the upper plate 21 and the lower plate 22 enclose an air outlet channel 23, and the upper plate 21 is provided with an air guide port 211 connected to the air outlet channel 23. It can be understood that the air guide port 211 is used to connect the air duct 3, the air inlet end of the air outlet channel 23 is connected to the air guide port 211, and the air outlet end of the air outlet channel 23 is connected to the air outlet 11 of the housing 1. The lighting assembly of the embodiment of the utility model can also have the function of air outlet to expand the application range of the lighting assembly, and because the position of the air outlet channel 23 can emit light outward, the atmosphere of the vertical air conditioner is better when it is working, which is conducive to improving the user experience.

[0040] On the other hand, Figure 3 As shown, since the air guide 211 is arranged at the position of the upper plate 21, the air guide 211 can discharge air downward. Therefore, dust floating outside will fall into the air outlet channel 23, and it is not easy to enter the air guide 211 upward. Since the air outlet end of the air outlet channel 23 is connected to the air outlet 11, the user can pass through the air outlet 11 and wipe the wall surface of the air outlet channel 23, so as to facilitate the user's daily cleaning.

[0041] Optionally, the light-emitting member 4 is a light strip or a light board, and the light-emitting member 4 extends along the length direction of the air guide opening 211. It can be understood that a plurality of lamp beads are provided on the light strip (light board), and the plurality of lamp beads are arranged in sequence along the extending direction of the air guide opening 211, whereby the light emitted from the air outlet channel 23 can be made more uniform and the sense of atmosphere is better.

[0042] Optionally, the lighting assembly further includes a grille 24, and the grille 24 covers the air guide opening 211. It can be understood that the grille 24 has a plurality of grid-shaped grille holes, and the plurality of grille holes constitute the air guide opening 211. Due to the blocking effect of the grille 24, on the one hand, the probability of external dust entering the air guide opening 211 can be reduced, and on the other hand, it can prevent children's hands from passing through the air guide opening 211, reducing potential safety hazards.

[0043] For example, the grille 24 is integrally formed with the upper plate 21, which can facilitate the processing and manufacturing of the upper plate 21, and can improve the overall structural strength of the upper plate 21, reducing the probability of damage to the upper plate 21 due to collision.

[0044] Optionally, as Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, the upper end surface of the lower plate 22 is an arc surface 221, the arc surface 221 protrudes downward from the lower plate 22, the upper end of the arc surface 221 extends to the air guide opening 211, and the lower end of the arc surface 221 extends to the air outlet end of the air outlet channel 23. It can be understood that the air flow blown out from the air guide opening 211 can be guided through the arc surface 221 on the lower plate 22. On the one hand, the wind loss can be reduced and the energy consumption can be decreased, and on the other hand, the wind can be blown out more evenly and smoothly, and the wind feeling is better.

[0045] As Figures 3 to 5 shown, the upper plate 21 includes a flat plate 212, the air guide opening 211 is provided on the flat plate 212, the flat plate 212 is light-transmissive to form a light-transmissive portion 2121, and the lower end surface of the flat plate 212 is orthogonal to the up-down direction of the housing 1. It can be understood that the lower end surface of the flat plate 212 is parallel to the horizontal plane of the housing 1, whereby the air guide opening 211 can be vertically opened downward to further prevent the probability of external dust entering the air guide opening 211, and the appearance is beautiful and the integrity is better.

[0046] In the example of the present application, in the direction from the air inlet end of the air outlet channel 23 to the air outlet end of the air outlet channel 23, the curvature of the arc surface 221 gradually decreases, whereby the air vertically blown out from the air guide opening 211 can be gradually deflected into a horizontal direction of air through the arc surface 221.

[0047] Specifically, as Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the lower end surface of the lower plate 22 further includes a flat surface 223, which is parallel to the horizontal plane of the housing 1, and the flat surface 223 is smoothly connected to the lower end of the arc surface 221. Under the guiding action of the flat surfaces 223 of the upper plate 21 and the lower plate 22, it can ensure that the air blown out from the air outlet 11 is parallel to the horizontal direction, which is beneficial to improving the user experience.

[0048] Optionally, as Figure 3 shown, a first fitting surface 213 is provided on the upper plate 21, and a second fitting surface 222 is provided on the lower plate 22. Both the first fitting surface 213 and the second fitting surface 222 are arranged adjacent to the air guiding opening 211, and the first fitting surface 213 and the second fitting surface 222 are in contact. It can be understood that the mutual contact of the first fitting surface 213 and the second fitting surface 222 can prevent the problem of air leakage at the splicing position of the upper plate 21 and the lower plate 22. In other words, the fitting surfaces of the upper plate 21 and the lower plate 22 form a sealing structure to prevent the airflow blown out from the air guiding opening 211 from flowing back into the housing 1 through the gap between the upper plate 21 and the lower plate 22, which is beneficial to improving the sealing effect of the upper plate 21 and the lower plate 22.

[0049] As Figure 1 shown, a vertical air conditioner according to another embodiment of the present invention includes a lighting component and a housing 1. The lighting component is the lighting component of the present invention, and the lighting component is installed on the housing 1.

[0050] According to the vertical air conditioner of the embodiment of the present invention, by installing the light-emitting member 4 on the top of the upper plate 21, and the light-emitting member 4 can emit light indicating the working mode, the light of the light-emitting member 4 is projected onto the lower plate 22 through the light-transmitting portion 2121. Therefore, the user can judge the working mode of the vertical air conditioner according to the indicating light emitted by the light-emitting member 4. In addition, the vertical air conditioner of the embodiment of the present invention projects the light of the light-emitting member 4 to the position of the air outlet passage 23, and the sense of atmosphere is good, which is beneficial to improving the user experience.
