[0036] The air conditioner 100 according to an embodiment of the present utility model will be described below with reference to the drawings.

[0037] As Figures 1 - 8 shown, the air conditioner 100 according to an embodiment of the present utility model includes a housing 1, a flow splitting structure 2, and a deflector 3.

[0038] Specifically, as Figures 1 - 4 shown, the air conditioner 100 may be a vertical wall-mounted air conditioner 100 or a floor-standing air conditioner. The housing 1 is arranged in a vertically extending cylindrical shape. The housing 1 is used to form the overall appearance of the air conditioner 100. The housing 1 has an air outlet duct 11 and an air outlet 12 communicating with the air outlet duct 11. The air outlet 12 extends in the vertical direction to allow the air flow after the internal circulation of the machine to flow out of the air conditioner 100. An air inlet 13 is also provided on the housing 1. The position of the air inlet 13 is not limited as long as the air inlet 13 communicates with the air outlet duct 11, so as to allow the air flow to enter the air outlet duct 11 from the air inlet 13, and the air flow outside the housing 1 can enter the air conditioner 100 for internal circulation of the machine.

[0039] As Figures 1 - 8In the illustrated example, a heat exchanger 5, a cross-flow fan 6, etc. are also provided inside the housing 1. In the air flow direction inside the housing 1, the heat exchanger 5 is upstream of the cross-flow fan 6. The heat exchanger 5 is used for heat exchange with the air flow passing through its surface, and the cross-flow fan 6 is used to drive the air flow from the air inlet 13 to the air outlet 12.

[0040] During the specific operation of the air conditioner 100, driven by the rotation of the cross-flow fan 6, the outside air flow will enter the housing 1 from the air inlet 13, form an air flow for outlet after the heat exchange of the heat exchanger 5, and the air flow for outlet flows from the air outlet duct 11 to the air outlet 12 and is blown out of the air conditioner 100 from the air outlet 12 to ensure the functions of refrigeration, heating, and air supply of the air conditioner 100.

[0041] Furthermore, a flow splitting structure 2 is provided at one end of the air outlet duct 11 close to the air outlet 12 for dividing the air outlet 12 into a plurality of sub-air outlets 121 spaced apart along the width direction of the air outlet 12. Thus, the flow splitting structure 2 can divide the air outlet duct 11 into a plurality of sub-air ducts 111 spaced apart along the width direction of the air outlet 12. The plurality of sub-air ducts 111 correspond one-to-one with the plurality of sub-air outlets 121. After the outside air flow enters the housing 1 driven by the cross-flow fan 6 from the air inlet 13, it can be blown out from the plurality of sub-air outlets 121 through the plurality of sub-air ducts 111 respectively.

[0042] Among them, a guide vane 3 is provided at the air inlet end of each flow splitting structure 2, and one end of the guide vane 3 is rotatably provided at the air inlet end of the flow splitting structure 2. A plurality of air passing openings 16 are also provided inside the housing 1. The plurality of air passing openings 16 are located at the air inlet end of the flow splitting structure 2 and are spaced apart along the width direction of the air outlet 12. The plurality of air passing openings 16 correspond one-to-one with the plurality of sub-air ducts 111 and the plurality of sub-air outlets 121. The guide vane 3 located at the air inlet end of the flow splitting structure 2 can selectively open or close the adjacent air passing opening 16 by rotation, thereby controlling the air outlet state of the sub-air outlet 121 opposite to the air passing opening 16. With the mutual cooperation of the plurality of guide vanes 3, one or more of the sub-air outlets 121 can be selectively opened or blocked, so that the air outlet of the plurality of sub-air outlets 121 can be switched, so as to achieve multi-directional air supply to different orientations or air supply to certain directions among them, which can realize different multi-directional air supply states of the air conditioner 100, improve the richness of the air outlet effect of the air conditioner 100, and further meet the diverse needs of users, as well as improve the comfort and experience of users.

[0043] According to the air conditioner 100 of the embodiment of the utility model, by providing a diversion structure 2 at one end of the air outlet duct 11 close to the air outlet 12 to divide the air outlet 12 into a plurality of sub-air outlets 121 spaced apart along the width direction of the air outlet 12, and by providing a guide plate 3 at the air inlet end of each diversion structure 2, and making one end of the guide plate 3 rotatably provided at the air inlet end of the diversion structure 2, one or more of the sub-air outlets 121 can be selectively opened or blocked, so that the multiple sub-air outlets 121 can be switched to discharge air, so as to achieve the effect of multi-directional air supply to different directions or to some directions. It is possible to achieve different multi-directional air supply states of the air conditioner 100, improve the richness of the air outlet effect of the air conditioner 100, and thus meet the diverse needs of users, and improve the comfort and experience of users.

[0044] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figures 1 - 8 As shown, the flow diversion structure 2 is multiple and includes a first flow diversion structure 21 and a second flow diversion structure 22. The first flow diversion structure 21 and the second flow diversion structure 22 are arranged at intervals along the width direction of the air outlet 12. The multiple sub-air outlets 121 include a first sub-air outlet 121a, a second sub-air outlet 121b and a third sub-air outlet 121c. The first sub-air outlet 121a is located on the side of the first flow diversion structure 21 away from the second flow diversion structure 22, the second sub-air outlet 121b is located on the side of the second flow diversion structure 22 away from the first flow diversion structure 21, and the third sub-air outlet 121c is located between the first flow diversion structure 21 and the second flow diversion structure 22. The guide plate 3 is multiple and includes a first guide plate 31 provided on the first flow diversion structure 21 and a second guide plate 32 provided on the second flow diversion structure 22.

[0045] It can be understood that the first flow splitting structure 21 and the second flow splitting structure 22 separate the outlet duct 11 into the first sub-duct 111a, the second sub-duct 111b and the third sub-duct 111c, and the air inlet end of the flow splitting structure 2 is formed with the first air outlet 16a, the second air outlet 16b and the third air outlet 16c. The first sub-duct 111a is connected with the first air outlet 16a and the first sub-air outlet 121a, the second sub-duct 111b is connected with the second air outlet 16b and the second sub-air outlet 121b, and the third sub-duct 111c is connected with the third air outlet 16c and the third sub-air outlet 121c. After the external air flow enters the shell 1 from the air inlet 13 driven by the cross-flow wind wheel 6, it can be blown out from the first sub-air outlet 121a, the second sub-air outlet 121b and the third sub-air outlet 121c through the first sub-air duct 111a, the second sub-air duct 111b and the third sub-air duct 111c respectively, which is convenient for expanding the area of the air outlet 12 of the air conditioner 100, thereby helping to increase the air outlet volume of the air conditioner 100 and expand the air supply range, which can improve the air outlet efficiency and thus meet the user's air supply requirements for large air volume and large air supply range.

[0046] Further, one end of the first deflector 31 is rotatably arranged at the air inlet end of the first flow splitting structure 21 to movably open or close the first air passing opening 16a or the third air passing opening 16c, and one end of the second deflector 32 is rotatably arranged at the air inlet end of the second flow splitting structure 22 to movably open or close the second air passing opening 16b or the third air passing opening 16c. Through the first deflector 31 and the second deflector 32, the user can selectively open or close the first air passing opening 16a, the second air passing opening 16b and the third air passing opening 16c to realize the switching of the air outlet of the first sub-air outlet 121a, the second sub-air outlet 121b and the third sub-air outlet 121c, and can achieve the effect of blowing air in different directions of left, forward or right, so as to realize the multi-directional air supply state of the air conditioner 100, improve the richness of the air supply effect of the air conditioner 100, further meet the diverse needs of users, and improve the comfort and experience of users.

[0047] For example, when only the first deflector 31 closes the first air passing opening 16a, the air can be blown out from the two surfaces of the second sub-air outlet 121b and the third sub-air outlet 121c. When only the second deflector 32 closes the second air passing opening 16b, the air can be blown out from the two surfaces of the first sub-air outlet 121a and the third sub-air outlet 121c. When the first deflector 31 and the second deflector 32 close the third air passing opening 16c, the air can be blown out from the two surfaces of the first sub-air outlet 121a and the second sub-air outlet 121b. When the first deflector 31 and the second deflector 32 close the first air passing opening 16a and the second air passing opening 16b respectively, only the third sub-air outlet 121c can blow out air.

[0048] In some embodiments of the present utility model, as Figure 1 and Figure 6 shown, the first deflector 31 and the second deflector 32 can overlap each other to block the third sub-air outlet 121c, and the air can be blown out from the two surfaces of the first sub-air outlet 121a and the second sub-air outlet 121b. The third sub-air outlet 121c is located between the first flow splitting structure 21 and the second flow splitting structure 22, and the first sub-air outlet 121a and the second sub-air outlet 121b are located on the left and right sides in the width direction of the air outlet 12. Thus, the left and right air supply of the air conditioner 100 can be realized, so that the users on the left and right sides of the air conditioner 100 can feel a certain air flow, and it is ensured that the air flow will not directly blow to the users in front of the air conditioner 100, and the air supply effect of the air conditioner 100 can be ensured to meet the different needs of users.

[0049] Specifically, the third sub-air duct 111c is connected with the third air outlet 16c and the third sub-air outlet 121c, and the first guide plate 31 and the second guide plate 32 can overlap with each other, so that the third air outlet 16c is limited between the first guide plate 31 and the second guide plate 32 to close the third air outlet 16c, and the airflow entering the shell 1 from the air inlet 13 will flow into the first sub-air duct 111a and the second sub-air duct 111b under the guidance of the first guide plate 31 and the second guide plate 32, and then flow out of the air conditioner 100 from the first sub-air outlet 121a and the second sub-air outlet 121b to realize the left and right air outlet state of the air conditioner 100.

[0050] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 2 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, when the first guide plate 31 and the second guide plate 32 open the third sub-air outlet 121c, the first guide plate 31 and the second guide plate 32 are located in or outside the space defined between the first flow diversion structure 21 and the second flow diversion structure 22. It can be ensured that the airflow can flow into the third sub-air duct 111c from the third air outlet 16c, and then blow out of the air conditioner 100 from the third air outlet 12. At the same time, the limitation of the first guide plate 31 and the second guide plate 32 can be reduced, which is convenient for operators to adjust and control according to actual conditions. Therefore, the specific rotation range of the first guide plate 31 and the second guide plate 32 can be designed according to the size of the internal space of the housing 1 of the specific embodiment, so as to improve the adaptability of the air conditioner 100.

[0051] Specifically, the first guide plate 31 may be provided with a first rotating shaft 311 at one end connected to the first diversion structure 21. When the first guide plate 31 opens the third sub-air outlet 121c, the free end of the first guide plate 31 may be rotated to the side of the first rotating shaft 311 close to the cross-flow fan. At this time, the first guide plate 31 is located outside the space defined between the first diversion structure 21 and the second diversion structure 22. Of course, the free end of the first guide plate 31 may also be rotated to the side of the first rotating shaft 311 away from the cross-flow fan. At this time, the first guide plate 31 is located in the space defined between the first diversion structure 21 and the second diversion structure 22.

[0052] Similarly, the second guide plate 32 may be provided with a second rotating shaft 321 at one end connected to the second diversion structure 22. When the second guide plate 32 opens the third sub-air outlet 121c, the free end of the second guide plate 32 may be rotated to the side of the second rotating shaft 321 close to the cross-flow fan. At this time, the second guide plate 32 is located outside the space defined between the first diversion structure 21 and the second diversion structure 22. Of course, the free end of the second guide plate 32 may also be rotated to the side of the second rotating shaft 321 away from the cross-flow fan. At this time, the second guide plate 32 is located in the space defined between the first diversion structure 21 and the second diversion structure 22.

[0053] In some embodiments of the present utility model, as Figure 4 and Figure 7 shown, the two opposite wall surfaces in the width direction of the air outlet duct 11 are respectively the first wall surface 14 and the second wall surface 15. The first wall surface 14 has a volute tongue portion 141. The first flow splitting structure 21 is disposed on the side of the second flow splitting structure 22 facing the first wall surface 14. The free end of the first guide plate 31 can abut against the first wall surface 14 to block the first sub-outlet 121a. Thus, the air outlet state of the first sub-outlet 121a is controlled to be closed, so as to achieve the effect of switching the air outlet of multiple sub-outlets 121.

[0054] It can be understood that the volute tongue portion 141 has a guiding function. The volute tongue portion 141 is disposed at the outlet of the cross-flow fan, and can guide the air flow to the air outlet duct 11 to prevent the air flow from circulating inside the housing 1. The first wall surface 14 and the first flow splitting structure 21 define the first sub-duct 111a. The free end of the first guide plate 31 can be rotated to abut against the first wall surface 14, and the first air passing opening 16a can be closed. The air flow entering the housing 1 from the air inlet 13 will flow into the second sub-duct 111b and the third sub-duct 111c under the guidance of the first guide plate 31 and the second guide plate 32, and thus flow out of the air conditioner 100 from the second sub-outlet 121b and the third sub-outlet 121c, so as to achieve two-sided air outlet of the second sub-outlet 121b and the third sub-outlet 121c.

[0055] In some embodiments of the present utility model, as Figure 3 and Figure 7 shown, the two opposite wall surfaces in the width direction of the air outlet duct 11 are respectively the first wall surface 14 and the second wall surface 15. The first wall surface 14 has a volute tongue portion 141. The free end of the second guide plate 32 can abut against the second wall surface 15 or the width of the second guide plate 32 is less than the minimum distance between the air inlet end of the second flow splitting structure 22 and the second wall surface 15. Thus, the air outlet state of the second sub-outlet 121b is controlled to be closed, so as to achieve the effect of switching the air outlet of multiple sub-outlets 121.

[0056] It can be understood that the second wall surface 15 and the second flow splitting structure 22 define the second sub-duct 111b. The free end of the second guide plate 32 can be rotated to abut against the first wall surface 14, and the second air passing opening 16b can be closed. The air flow entering the housing 1 from the air inlet 13 will flow into the first sub-duct 111a and the third sub-duct 111c under the guidance of the first guide plate 31 and the second guide plate 32, and thus flow out of the air conditioner 100 from the first sub-outlet 121a and the third sub-outlet 121c, so as to achieve two-sided air outlet of the first sub-outlet 121a and the third sub-outlet 121c.

[0057] When the width of the second air deflector 32 is less than the minimum distance between the air inlet end of the second air diversion structure 22 and the second wall surface 15, the free end of the second air deflector 32 can rotate to extend the second air deflector 32 in the width direction of the second sub-air duct 111b. At this time, the second air deflector 32 is located at one end of the second air passing opening 16b close to the first wall surface 14, and the second air deflector 32 blocks at least part of the second air passing opening 16b. Since the rotation direction of the cross-flow fan will drive the air flow toward the direction close to the first wall surface 14, the second air deflector 32 with a smaller width can also guide a small amount of air flow flowing toward the second air passing opening 16b to the first air passing opening 16a and the third air passing opening 16c, so as to control the second sub-air outlet 121b to close the air outlet state, thereby realizing the effect of switching the air outlet of multiple sub-air outlets 121.

[0058] In some embodiments of the present invention, as Figures 1 - 4 shown, the air outlet end of the second wall surface 15 has a flared portion 151, and in the direction toward the outside of the air outlet 12, the flared portion 151 is inclined in the direction away from the first wall surface 14. That is, the distance from the first wall surface 14 to the second wall surface 15 becomes larger and larger in the direction toward the outside of the air outlet 12. According to the Coanda effect, the air flow close to the second wall surface 15 in the second sub-air duct 111b will flow along the surface of the second wall surface 15, thereby changing the flow direction. When the air flow blows out of the air outlet 12 to the outside, the air flow will blow out in the direction away from the first wall surface 14. Thus, a better right air outlet effect can be achieved, the air supply range can be expanded, the temperature distribution in the room can be made more uniform, and the comfort of users can be improved.

[0059] In some embodiments of the present invention, as Figures 1 - 8 shown, along the air flow direction, the first air diversion structure 21 and the second air diversion structure 22 are inclined in directions away from each other, which can achieve better left and right air outlet effects and expand the air supply range to meet the needs of users.

[0060] It can be understood that the first air diversion structure 21 is inclined to the left in the air flow direction. At this time, the first air diversion structure 21 can guide the air flow to blow out of the air outlet 12 to the left, which can achieve a better left air outlet effect and expand the air supply range, so that users on the left side of the air conditioner 100 can feel a certain air flow, and it can ensure that the air flow will not directly blow on the users on the right side of the air conditioner 100, and can ensure the air supply effect of the air conditioner 100 to meet the needs of users. The second air diversion structure 22 is inclined to the right in the air flow direction. At this time, the second air diversion structure 22 can guide the air flow to blow out of the air outlet 12 to the right, which can achieve a better right air outlet effect and expand the air supply range, so that users on the right side of the air conditioner 100 can feel a certain air flow, and it can ensure that the air flow will not directly blow on the users on the left side of the air conditioner 100, and can ensure the air supply effect of the air conditioner 100 to meet the needs of users.

[0061] In some embodiments of the present utility model, as Figures 1 - 8 shown, the widths of the first air deflector 31 and the second air deflector 32 are the same or different. Thus, specific designs can be made according to the widths of the first air vent 16a, the second air vent 16b, and the third air vent 16c, so as to selectively open or close one or more of the sub-air outlets 121, thereby realizing the switching of the air outlet of the multiple sub-air outlets 121, and achieving the effect of sending air to different directions. At the same time, the limitations on the first air deflector 31 and the second air deflector 32 can be reduced, facilitating the operator to adjust and control according to the actual situation. Thus, the specific widths of the first air deflector 31 and the second air deflector 32 can be designed according to the size of the internal space of the housing 1 of the specific embodiment, thereby improving the adaptability of the air conditioner 100.

[0062] In some embodiments of the present utility model, as Figures 1 - 8 shown, along the width direction of the air outlet 12, the air outlet 12 extends from one end in the width direction of the housing 1 to the other end. That is, the angle between the first wall surface 14 and the second wall surface 15 can reach 180°, which can expand the area of the air outlet 12 of the air conditioner 100, thereby being beneficial to increasing the air volume of the air conditioner 100 and expanding the air supply range, making the temperature distribution in the room more uniform, improving the air supply efficiency, and further being able to meet the air supply requirements of the user for a large air volume and a large air supply range, and enhancing the comfort and experience of the user.

[0063] In some embodiments of the present utility model, as Figures 5 - 8 shown, at least one sub-air outlet 121 is provided with a wind deflector 4, and the wind deflector 4 is rotatably arranged at the sub-air outlet 121 for opening or closing the corresponding sub-air outlet 121.

[0064] It can be understood that the wind deflector 4 can be provided with a rotating shaft 41. By rotating the wind deflector 4 around the rotating shaft 41, the action of opening or closing the air outlet 12 can be completed, and the air flow direction can also be changed by rotation, guiding the air flow flowing out from the sub-air outlet 121 of the air conditioner 100 in different directions, and being able to realize closing the sub-air outlet 121 and guiding the air flow to blow out from the sub-air outlet 121 at different angles. With the mutual cooperation of the wind deflector 4 and the air deflector 3, a better air guiding effect can be achieved, and the switching of the air outlet of the multiple sub-air outlets 121 can be better realized, so as to achieve the effect of sending air to different directions. Different air supply states of the air conditioner 100 can be realized, the richness of the air supply effect of the air conditioner can be improved, the diverse needs of the user can be met, and further the comfort and experience of the user can be improved.

[0065] In some embodiments of the present utility model, a plurality of spaced micropores are provided on at least one air guiding plate 4 at at least one sub-air outlet 121. When the air flow passes through the air guiding plate 4 provided with micropores, the micropores can disperse and refine the air flow, so that the air flow is transformed into finer air streams, and the air flow can become more uniform, delicate and gentle, which is beneficial to achieving the windless air outlet effect of the air conditioner 100 and improving the user experience.

[0066] Among them, it should be noted that the cross-sectional shape of the micropores can be circular, polygonal or strip-shaped holes (i.e., slits), etc., and the specific shape is not limited here. Further, when a plurality of micropores are provided on the air guiding plate 4, the plurality of micropores can be arranged in an array on the air guiding plate 4, so that as many micropores as possible can be arranged on the air guiding plate 4 on the premise of ensuring a certain structural strength of the air guiding plate 4. While not affecting the air guiding plate 4 to disperse the air flow, it can also ensure a sufficient ventilation volume, and thus can ensure the air volume of the air outlet 12.

[0067] Other components of the air conditioner 100 according to the embodiments of the present utility model, such as the heat exchanger 5 and the cross-flow fan, etc., are known to those of ordinary skill in the art and will not be described in detail here.
