Therefore, this application is not intended to be limited to the embodiments shown, but rather to be consistent with the broadest scope that conforms to the principles and features disclosed in this application.

[0027] As Figures 1 to 3 shown, an embodiment of this application provides an air conditioner that can more flexibly adjust the air outlet mode and better meet the usage needs of users. Here, the type of the air conditioner can be determined according to actual needs, and types such as a cabinet air conditioner, a wall-mounted air conditioner, a window air conditioner, etc. can be adopted. The embodiments of this application do not limit this. Exemplarily, the air conditioner can be a cabinet air conditioner.

[0028] The air conditioner is provided with an air duct 10 and a plurality of air outlets 20. The plurality of air outlets 20 are arranged at intervals and are respectively communicated with the air duct 10. A plurality of air guide plates 30 are respectively provided at each air outlet 20. The plurality of air guide plates 30 are sequentially arranged along the width direction of the air outlet 20. The air guide plates 30 can be rotatably opened to a target angle to change the air outlet direction and air outlet volume of the air outlet 20, or can be covered on the air outlet 20 to block the corresponding area of the air outlet 20. Here, the plurality of air guide plates 30 of the same air outlet 20 can rotate synchronously or can rotate independently of each other, so as to arbitrarily change the air outlet direction and air outlet volume of the air outlet 20.

[0029] Compared with related technologies, the air conditioner provided by the embodiments of the present application is provided with a plurality of air outlets 20, and a plurality of air guide plates 30 are respectively arranged at each air outlet 20. The target air outlet 20 actually used for air outlet and its quantity can be selected according to actual air outlet requirements, and the plurality of air guide plates 30 located at the target air outlet 20 are correspondingly controlled to rotate to a target angle, so that the target air outlet 20 is opened and air outlet is performed along the target air outlet direction, thereby enabling a user at a specified position to obtain the required air outlet air volume, realizing arbitrary control of the air outlet direction and the air outlet air volume, and thus better meeting the usage needs of the user.

[0030] In some embodiments, the air conditioner may further include at least one flow divider 40. The flow divider 40 is arranged in the air duct 10 and is used for separating two adjacent air outlets 20 to divide the air flow in the air duct 10 into a plurality of air outlets 20. When the plurality of air guide plates 30 cover the air outlet 20, one of the air guide plates 30 close to the flow divider 40 abuts against the flow divider 40. In other words, one end of the flow divider 40 extends into the air duct 10, and the other end is exposed on the appearance surface of the air conditioner; when it is necessary to close the air outlet 20, the plurality of air guide plates 30 of the air outlet 20 respectively cover the air outlet 20, and the air guide plate 30 close to the flow divider 40 abuts against the flow divider 40, so as to tightly cover and close the air outlet 20.

[0031] The quantity of the flow divider 40 can be determined according to actual needs, and the embodiments of the present application do not limit this. Exemplarily, the air conditioner may include two air outlets 20 and one flow divider 40, and the flow divider 40 is used for separating the two air outlets 20. Another example is that the air conditioner may include at least three air outlets 20 and at least two flow dividers 40, and one flow divider 40 is arranged between any two adjacent air outlets 20.

[0032] In some examples, the air duct 10 may have a first side wall 11 and a second side wall 12 arranged opposite to each other, and the flow divider 40 is located between the first side wall 11 and the second side wall 12. Here, the flow divider 40 may have a first flow dividing surface 41 and a second flow dividing surface 42. The first flow dividing surface 41 faces the first side wall 11, and a first air outlet flow channel is formed between the first flow dividing surface 41 and the first side wall 11; the second flow dividing surface 42 faces the second side wall 12, and a second air outlet flow channel is formed between the second flow dividing surface 42 and the second side wall 12. The first air outlet flow channel is communicated with one of two adjacent air outlets 20, and the second air outlet flow channel is communicated with the other of the two adjacent air outlets 20, so as to achieve a flow dividing and guiding effect.

[0033] The shapes of the first sidewall 11 and the second sidewall 12 can be determined according to actual needs, and the embodiments of the present application do not limit this. Exemplarily, at least one of the first sidewall 11 and the second sidewall 12 can be a curved sidewall such as an arc-shaped sidewall, etc., so as to achieve a better air flow guiding effect and reduce the obstruction to the air flow. The shapes of the first flow dividing surface 41 and the second flow dividing surface 42 can be determined according to actual needs, and the embodiments of the present application do not limit this. Exemplarily, at least one of the first flow dividing surface 41 and the second flow dividing surface 42 can be a curved surface such as an arc-shaped surface, etc., so as to achieve a better flow dividing guiding effect and reduce the obstruction to the gas to be flow-divided.

[0034] Exemplarily, a flow guiding rib 13 can be provided in the air duct 10. The flow guiding rib 13 is located between the first sidewall 11 and the second sidewall 12, and the flow guiding rib 13 and the flow dividing member 40 are correspondingly arranged. Here, the flow guiding rib 13 and the flow dividing member 40 can be arranged in sequence along the air flow direction of the air duct 10, so that the flow guiding rib 13 is located upstream of the flow dividing member 40. By arranging the flow guiding rib 13 upstream of the flow dividing member 40, the air flow can be flow-divided and guided by the flow guiding rib 13 in advance before the air flow reaches the flow dividing member 40. For example, the air flow between the flow guiding rib 13 and the first sidewall 11 can directly flow to the first flow dividing surface 41, and the air flow between the flow guiding rib 13 and the second sidewall 12 can directly flow to the second flow dividing surface 42, reducing the impact of the air flow on the flow dividing member 40 and the impact noise caused thereby, and achieving a better silent flow dividing effect.

[0035] The shape of the flow guiding rib 13 can be determined according to actual needs, and the embodiments of the present application do not limit this. Exemplarily, the flow guiding rib 13 can be an arc-shaped flow guiding rib 13, so as to achieve a better air flow guiding effect and reduce the obstruction to the air flow.

[0036] The shape of the flow dividing member 40 can be determined according to actual needs, and the embodiments of the present application do not limit this. In some examples, the flow dividing member 40 can be a conical member, and the top of the conical member is arranged towards the depth of the air duct 10; correspondingly, the bottom of the conical member is exposed on the appearance surface of the air conditioner. By setting the flow dividing member 40 as a conical member, the air flow can first contact the top of the flow dividing member 40 and be cut into two air flows by the top, and then the two air flows gradually move away along the two side surfaces of the conical member to achieve flow division.

[0037] In some embodiments, the air outlet side of the air conditioner can have a central part 201 and two side parts 202 located on opposite sides of the central part 201, and the above-mentioned plurality of air outlets 20 are respectively arranged on opposite sides of the central part 201, so that at least one air outlet 20 is provided between each side part 202 and the central part 201. Here, the air conditioner can have an encircling air outlet mode and a centralized air outlet mode.

[0038] Such as Figure 2As shown, when the air conditioner is in the enveloping air outlet mode, the windward surface 31 of the air guide plate 30 can face the side portion 202 on the side where the air guide plate 30 is located, so that the air outlet 20 blows toward the front area of ​​the side portion 202; in this way, the air conditioner will discharge air from the side portion 202 and along the side, which can avoid direct blowing of cold / warm air and achieve the enveloping soft air supply needs. Figure 3 As shown, when the air conditioner is in the centralized air outlet mode, the windward surface 31 of the air guide plate 30 can be oriented toward the central portion 201 so that the air outlet 20 blows toward the front area of ​​the central portion 201; in this way, the air conditioner will discharge air from the central portion 201 and toward the front, achieving rapid direct blowing and quickly satisfying the user's cooling / warming needs.

[0039] In some embodiments, the air conditioner may include a plurality of driving members, and the plurality of driving members and the plurality of air outlets 20 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence, so that each air outlet 20 is provided with a driving member. Here, the driving member is configured to drive the plurality of air guide plates 30 of the same air outlet 20 to rotate synchronously; and the plurality of air guide plates 30 are arranged in parallel, so that the air outlet direction of the area between any two adjacent air guide plates 30 in the same air outlet 20 is consistent. In this way, driven by the driving member, the plurality of air guide plates 30 can be synchronously rotated through the same angle to achieve a synchronous and parallel wind guiding effect. By setting as above, a smaller number of driving members can be used to achieve the driving effect of the plurality of air guide plates 30. The type of driving member can be determined according to actual needs, and can be, for example, a rotary motor, a hydraulic motor, etc., which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0040] In other embodiments, the air conditioner may include multiple driving members, and the multiple driving members and the multiple air guide plates 30 of the same air outlet 20 are arranged one by one, and each driving member is configured to drive one air guide plate 30 to rotate. In this way, the multiple air guide plates 30 of the same air outlet 20 can rotate independently of each other, so that different areas of the air outlet 20 can have different air outlet directions and air outlet volumes, thereby realizing arbitrary adjustment of the air outlet directions and air outlet volumes of different areas in the same air outlet 20.

[0041] In some embodiments, the air duct 10 may have a tail section flow channel connected to a plurality of air outlets 20, and the flow cross section of the tail section flow channel gradually increases along the air outlet direction. By setting the tail section flow channel as a gradually expanding structure, the flow velocity of the airflow in the tail section flow channel can be reduced, thereby reducing the airflow impact and the impact noise caused thereby, and achieving a softer air outlet effect.

[0042] In some embodiments, the air conditioner may include an air duct bracket 1 and a panel 2 that are connected to each other. An air duct 10 is disposed within the air duct bracket 1, and a plurality of air outlets 20 are formed on the panel 2. By setting the body of the air conditioner as the above-mentioned splicing structure, the manufacturing difficulty of the body of the air conditioner can be reduced and the manufacturing efficiency can be improved. In some embodiments, the air conditioner may further be provided with an air inlet 50, and the air inlet 50 communicates with the air outlets 20 through the air duct 10.

[0043] The air conditioner provided by the embodiments of the present application has been introduced in detail above. Specific examples are used herein to elaborate on the principle and implementation manner of the present application. The description of the above embodiments is only used to help understand the method and its core idea of the present application; at the same time, for those skilled in the art, according to the idea of the present application, there will be changes in the specific implementation manner and application scope. In summary, the content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation to the present application.
