Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments.

As used in this utility model specification and the appended claims, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, the singular forms "a", "an" and "the" are intended to include plural forms.

[0032] It should be further understood that the term “and / or” used in the present specification and the appended claims refers to any combination and all possible combinations of one or more of the associated listed items, and includes these combinations.

[0033] See below Figures 1 to 4, an embodiment of the present utility model provides an air conditioner, including a cabinet body 1, the cabinet body 1 includes a control main board and an air outlet 111, and the air conditioner further includes:

[0034] A wind blocking mechanism 2, installed below the air outlet 111;

[0035] The wind blocking mechanism 2 includes a heating part 21, the heating part 21 is connected to the control main board, and is used to heat up the wind blocking mechanism 2 according to the instruction of the control main board.

[0036] In the air conditioner described in this embodiment, a wind blocking mechanism 2 is arranged below the air outlet 111 (formed by a plurality of air outlet panels 11), and the wind blocking mechanism 2 further includes a heating part 21 connected to the control main board. In this embodiment, by arranging the wind blocking mechanism 2 below the air outlet 111 of the cabinet body 1, the wind blown up from the bottom volute 12 can be blocked so that it cannot blow to other parts of the air outlet panel 11. At the same time, the heating part 21 is arranged on the wind blocking mechanism 2, and corresponding heating actions can be executed according to the instruction of the control main board. In this way, the wind blocking mechanism 2 can have a relatively high temperature, so that even if the temperature of the air outlet 111 is low, under the action of the wind blocking mechanism 2, the generation of condensed water at the air outlet 111 can be effectively prevented, thereby improving the user experience.

[0037] In a specific embodiment, in combination with Figure 2 , the cabinet body 1 further includes a volute 12 arranged below the air outlet 111, the wind blocking mechanism 2 includes a wind blocking plate covering the area between the volute 12 and the lower part of the air outlet 111, and both sides of the wind blocking plate are fixedly installed on both sides of the cabinet body 1.

[0038] In this embodiment, a wind blocking plate is used as the wind blocking mechanism 2. The wind blocking plate mainly blocks the wind blown out from the section below the air outlet 111 to the volute 12. Therefore, the wind blocking plate can be installed between the evaporator and the air outlet panel 11. Further, the width of the wind blocking plate is flush with the left and right side plates of the cabinet body 1, and the left and right sides of the wind blocking plate after installation can be made not to exceed the edge of the side plate to avoid being exposed and affecting the appearance. In addition, the length of the wind blocking plate can be determined according to the length from the volute 12 to the air outlet 111, as long as it satisfies that the wind blocking plate can cover the area from the volute 12 to the lower end of the air outlet 111. In an actual application scenario, a plurality of installation positions 24 are respectively opened on both sides of the wind blocking plate, and the wind blocking plate is fixed on the left and right side plates of the cabinet body 1 through the installation positions 24. For example, a plurality of screw holes can be evenly opened as the installation positions 24 respectively, and the wind blocking plate can be fixed on the left and right side plates of the cabinet body 1 by using screws. In this way, the overall airtightness of the air conditioner can be improved, and the leakage of air due to a large gap between the wind blocking plate and the cabinet body 1 can be avoided, thereby avoiding energy loss.

[0039] Of course, in other application scenarios, other fixing methods can also be adopted to fix the wind deflector on the left and right side plates of the cabinet body 1. For example, the left and right sides of the wind deflector can be directly glued to the left and right side plates of the cabinet body 1. Another example is to provide a plurality of card slots on the left and right side plates of the cabinet body 1, and correspondingly provide a plurality of buckles on the left and right sides of the wind deflector. Thus, when installing and fixing, the buckles are matched with the card slots to achieve snap connection.

[0040] In one embodiment, in combination with Figure 4 , the heating part 21 is arranged at any one or more of the top area, middle area and bottom area of the wind deflector.

[0041] By arranging the heating part 21 in different areas of the wind deflector mechanism 2, the wind deflector mechanism 2 can be kept at a uniform and constant temperature for a long time, avoiding the problem of condensate water generated due to the low temperature at a certain place of the wind deflector mechanism 2.

[0042] Specifically, the heating part 21 can be an electric heating sheet connected to the control unit. Of course, other heating devices can also be used as the heating part 21, such as heating wires, that is, heating wires are arranged at different positions of the wind deflector mechanism 2.

[0043] In one embodiment, the air conditioner further includes a temperature detection module connected to the control main board, and the temperature detection module is used to detect the temperature of the wind deflector mechanism 2.

[0044] In this embodiment, the temperature of the wind deflector mechanism 2 is detected by the temperature detection module, and the detected temperature is sent to the control unit. After receiving the temperature of the wind deflector mechanism 2, the control unit can compare it with a preset temperature threshold, so as to determine whether to heat the wind deflector mechanism 2 according to the comparison result, and to what specific degree to heat. In addition, the temperature of the air outlet 111 can also be detected by the temperature detection module and judged in combination with the temperature of the air outlet 111.

[0045] Specifically, when the air conditioner operates, first detect the temperature of the air outlet 111 of the air conditioner, and compare the temperature of the air outlet 111 with a preset temperature threshold; if the temperature of the air outlet 111 is lower than the preset temperature threshold, continue to detect the temperature of the wind deflector mechanism 2. Then compare the temperature of the wind deflector mechanism 2 with a preset temperature threshold (the preset temperature threshold here can be the same as or different from the temperature threshold corresponding to the temperature of the air outlet 111 above); if the temperature of the wind deflector mechanism 2 is lower than the preset temperature threshold, obtain the temperature difference between the temperature of the wind deflector mechanism 2 and the preset temperature threshold; subsequently, control the heating part 21 to heat up the wind deflector mechanism 2 according to the temperature difference.

[0046] Furthermore, when the temperature detection module detects that the temperature of the wind shield mechanism 2 has reached a preset temperature threshold and has been maintained for a certain period of time, the control unit can control the heating part 21 to cut off power to stop heating. This not only solves the problem of condensation water generated at the air outlet 111, but also avoids waste of resources.

[0047] In a specific embodiment, in combination Figure 4 and Figure 5 A yielding portion 22 is provided in the middle area of the wind shield.

[0048] For the middle area of the windshield, a yielding arrangement can be made according to the structure of the air outlet panel 11 contacting the windshield. In addition, since there is usually no interference with the evaporator located below the cabinet body 1 and the evaporator is far from the installation position of the windshield, the bottom area of the windshield does not need to be yielded.

[0049] Furthermore, at least one rib strip 23 is provided at the upper end and / or the lower end of the wind shield.

[0050] For the upper and lower ends of the windshield, in order to avoid deformation that may lead to poor sealing, ribs 23 are appropriately added to the upper and lower ends of the windshield. This not only avoids air leakage, but also improves the edge structural strength of the windshield.

[0051] Preferably, a downward folded edge is provided at the upper end of the wind shield.

[0052] The upper end of the windshield is designed to be a downward folded edge, which can prevent the edge of the windshield from being too sharp and causing harm to the user, thereby improving the safety performance of the product.

[0053] In some optional embodiments, the wind shield is made of corrosion-resistant material.

[0054] Since the windshield mainly serves to block the wind, its thickness can meet the requirement of not being easily deformed after assembly. However, for example, when the air conditioner is turned on in cooling mode, the windshield will be in a wet and cold environment for a long time, so it is necessary to use a material with strong corrosion resistance to prepare the windshield, such as PA material (PA material is the abbreviation of polyamide material, also known as nylon) to prepare the windshield. Furthermore, an integrated molding mold can be used for preparation to obtain an integrated corrosion-resistant windshield.

[0055] like Figure 6 As shown, based on the air conditioner, an embodiment of the utility model further provides an air conditioner control method, which is applied to the air conditioner as described above, and the method includes: steps S101 to S104.

[0056] Step S101: When the air conditioner is running, detect the temperature of the wind deflector mechanism 2;

[0057] Step S102: Compare the temperature of the wind deflector mechanism 2 with a preset first temperature threshold;

[0058] Step S103: If the temperature of the wind deflector mechanism 2 is lower than the preset first temperature threshold, obtain the temperature difference between the temperature of the wind deflector mechanism 2 and the preset first temperature threshold;

[0059] Step S104: Control the heating part 21 to heat up the wind deflector mechanism 2 according to the temperature difference.

[0060] In this embodiment, when the air conditioner is running, the temperature of the wind deflector mechanism 2 can be detected by a temperature detection module, and the temperature of the wind deflector mechanism 2 is compared with a preset temperature threshold to determine whether the temperature of the wind deflector mechanism 2 reaches the preset temperature threshold. If the temperature of the wind deflector mechanism 2 does not reach (i.e., is lower than) the preset temperature threshold, the heating part 21 is controlled to perform a heating-up action according to the temperature difference between the temperature of the wind deflector mechanism 2 and the preset temperature threshold, so as to increase the temperature of the wind deflector mechanism 2.

[0061] Further, after the heating part 21 performs the heating-up action, continue to detect the temperature of the wind deflector mechanism 2 through the temperature detection module, and continue to determine whether the temperature of the wind deflector mechanism 2 reaches the preset temperature threshold until it is determined that the temperature of the wind deflector mechanism 2 reaches the preset temperature threshold. When it is detected by the temperature detection module that the temperature of the wind deflector mechanism 2 reaches the preset temperature threshold and remains for a certain period of time (such as 60 s), the control unit can control the heating part 21 to cut off the power to stop heating. In this way, not only can the problem of condensate water generated at the air outlet 111 be solved, but also resource waste can be avoided.

[0062] In addition, as Figure 7 shown, before step S101, it includes: steps S201 to S202.

[0063] Step S201: Detect the temperature of the air outlet 111 of the air conditioner, and compare the temperature of the air outlet 111 with a preset second temperature threshold;

[0064] Step S202: If the temperature of the air outlet 111 is lower than the preset second temperature threshold, detect the temperature of the wind deflector mechanism 2.

[0065] Before detecting the temperature of the windshield mechanism 2 in this embodiment, the temperature of the air outlet 111 of the air conditioner is first detected to confirm whether condensate will be generated at the temperature of the air outlet 111. For example, when the air conditioner operates in the heating mode, the temperature of the air outlet 111 is relatively high, so no condensate will be generated. When the air conditioner operates in the cooling mode, the temperature of the air outlet 111 is relatively low, and condensate may be generated at this time. Therefore, the detected temperature of the air outlet 111 is compared with a preset temperature threshold (the temperature threshold here may be the same as or different from the temperature threshold corresponding to the temperature of the windshield mechanism 2). When the temperature of the air outlet 111 is lower than the preset temperature threshold, the temperature of the windshield mechanism 2 is detected. When the temperature of the air outlet 111 is higher than or equal to the preset temperature threshold, the temperature of the windshield mechanism 2 may not be detected temporarily.
