In the related art, an air conditioner includes a housing and an evaporator and a water receiving tray disposed inside the housing, and an air inlet and an air outlet are provided on the housing.

[0003] However, in the related art, since hot air flow tends to rise upwards, when the air conditioner is heating, the hot air flow cannot well reach the ground, and the flowing distance of the hot air flow on the ground is relatively short. Summary of the Utility Model

[0004] The present disclosure aims to at least solve one of the technical problems in the related art to some extent. For this purpose, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides an air conditioner housing that can make the hot air flow reach the ground and has a relatively long flowing distance on the ground.

[0005] An embodiment of the present disclosure also provides an air conditioner.

[0006] The air conditioner housing according to the embodiment of the present disclosure has an air inlet, an air outlet and an air duct, the air duct is communicated with the air inlet and the air outlet, the air outlet is located at the upper end of the air conditioner housing, the air inlet is located at the lower end of the air conditioner housing, the air conditioner housing includes a housing body and a front panel, the front panel is disposed at the front end of the housing body, the front panel is located below the air outlet, and the front side surface of the front panel extends in the up-down direction and is arranged obliquely backward.

[0007] In the air conditioner housing according to the embodiment of the present disclosure, since the front side surface of the front panel extends in the up-down direction and is arranged obliquely backward, the lower end of the front side surface of the front panel is located behind the upper end of the front side surface of the front panel, the air outlet opens forward and is located above the front panel, and the air flow flowing out of the air outlet will flow downward along the extending direction of the front panel. Due to the oblique backward arrangement of the front side surface of the front panel, the front side surface of the front panel guides the air flow to flow obliquely downward along the front side surface of the front panel. The farther downward the air flow flows, the farther backward the distance between the front side surface of the front panel and the vertical plane is, and the air flow is more likely to flow downward to reach the ground, and the flowing distance of the air flow on the ground is increased.

[0008] In some embodiments, the angle α between the front side surface of the front panel and the vertical plane is 6° - 14°; and / or, the angle θ between the rear side surface of the front panel and the direction of the air inlet is 90° - 150°.

[0009] In some embodiments, the rear side surface of the front panel is arranged parallel to the front side surface of the front panel.

[0012] In some embodiments, the front side surface of the wind deflector is coplanar with the front side surface of the front panel; and / or, the wind deflector extends in the up-down direction and is arranged obliquely backward.

[0013] In some embodiments, the wind deflector has a first state. In the first state, the wind deflector partially opens the air outlet and at least a part of the wind deflector faces the air outlet. In the first state, the shortest distance between the inner edge of the lower end of the wind deflector and the upper end of the front panel is A, and 60 mm ≤ A ≤ 85 mm; and / or, in the first state, the included angle between the tangent direction of the inner edge of the lower end of the wind deflector and the vertical plane is β, and 6° ≤ β ≤ 14°.

[0014] In some embodiments, the inner side surface of the wind deflector includes a first air guiding surface, a transition air guiding surface, and a second air guiding surface that are connected in sequence from top to bottom. The first air guiding surface extends upward from the upper end of the transition air guiding surface and is arranged obliquely forward. The second air guiding surface extends downward from the lower end of the transition air guiding surface and is arranged obliquely forward. In the first state, the shortest distance between the connection position of the transition air guiding surface and the second air guiding surface and the upper end of the front panel is A, and 60 mm ≤ A ≤ 85 mm; and / or, in the first state, the included angle between the tangent direction of the connection position of the transition air guiding surface and the second air guiding surface and the vertical plane is β, and 6° ≤ β ≤ 14°.

The air outlet is opened forward and is located above the front panel. The air flow flowing out of the air outlet will flow downward along the extension direction of the front panel. Since the front side surface of the front panel is arranged obliquely backward, the front side surface of the front panel guides the air flow to flow obliquely downward along the front side surface of the front panel. The farther downward the air flow flows, the farther backward the distance between the front side surface of the front panel and the vertical plane is. The air flow is more likely to flow downward to reach the ground, and the flowing distance of the air flow on the ground is increased. Description of the Drawings

[0029] The embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail below. The examples of the embodiments are shown in the drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the drawings are exemplary and are intended to explain the present disclosure and should not be construed as a limitation of the present disclosure.

[0030] The air conditioner housing 110 of the embodiments of the present disclosure has an air inlet 1, an air outlet 2, and an air duct 3. The air duct 3 is communicated with the air inlet 1 and the air outlet 2. The air outlet 2 is located at the upper end of the air conditioner housing 110, and the air inlet 1 is located at the lower end of the air conditioner housing 110. The air conditioner housing 110 includes a housing body 4 and a front panel 5. The front panel 5 is arranged at the front end of the housing body 4. The front panel 5 is located below the air outlet 2. The front side surface 51 of the front panel extends in the vertical direction from top to bottom and is arranged obliquely backward.

[0031] Specifically, as Figures 1 - 3 shown, the air inlet 1 is arranged at the lower end of the air conditioner housing 110 and the opening direction is downward, and the air outlet 2 is arranged at the upper end of the air conditioner housing 110 and the opening direction is forward. That is, the air conditioner 100 is an air conditioner 100 with lower air intake and upper air outlet. Air enters the air duct 3 of the air conditioner housing 110 through the lower air inlet 1, exchanges heat with the evaporator, and is discharged through the upper air outlet 2.

[0032] The front panel 5 is arranged at the front end of the housing body 4. The front side surface 51 of the front panel forms the front end surface of the air conditioner housing 110. The front side surface 51 of the front panel extends in the vertical direction from top to bottom and is arranged obliquely backward, so that the upper end of the front side surface 51 of the front panel is located in front of the lower end of the front side surface 51 of the front panel. That is to say, the front side surface 51 of the front panel is an inclined surface that slopes backward from top to bottom. The dimension of the upper end of the air conditioner 100 in the front-rear direction is greater than the dimension of the lower end of the air conditioner 100 in the front-rear direction. The air conditioner 100 is an air conditioner 100 with a thicker upper part and a thinner lower part.

[0033] Compared with the form in the related art where the front side surface 51 of the front panel extends in the vertical direction and is parallel to the vertical plane or the front side surface 51 of the front panel extends in the vertical direction from top to bottom and is arranged obliquely forward, when the air flow from the air outlet 2 flows downward along the front side surface 51 of the front panel, part of the air flow is likely to flow back to the air inlet 1, and part of the air flow is likely to flow upward and is not easy to flow downward, making it difficult to achieve the landing of the air flow.

[0034] In the air conditioner housing 110 of the embodiments of the present disclosure, since the front side surface 51 of the front panel extends from top to bottom and is arranged obliquely backward, the lower end of the front side surface 51 of the front panel is located behind the upper end of the front side surface 51 of the front panel. The air outlet 2 opens forward and is located above the front panel 5. The air flow flowing out of the air outlet 2 will flow downward along the extension direction of the front panel 5. Due to the inclined backward arrangement of the front side surface 51 of the front panel, the front side surface 51 of the front panel guides the air flow to flow obliquely downward along the front side surface 51 of the front panel. The farther downward the air flow flows, the farther backward the distance between the front side surface 51 of the front panel and the vertical plane is. The air flow is more likely to flow downward to achieve landing, and the flowing distance of the air flow on the ground is increased.

[0035] In some embodiments, the included angle α between the front side surface 51 of the front panel and the vertical plane is 6° - 14°.

[0036] As Figure 2 shown, in this embodiment, by defining the angle between the front side surface 51 of the front panel and the vertical plane, if the angle between the front side surface 51 of the front panel and the vertical plane is too large, it is difficult for the air flow to flow downward along the front side surface 51 of the front panel. At the same time, it is avoided that the angle between the front side surface 51 of the front panel and the vertical plane is too small to achieve the guiding effect, ensuring that the front side surface 51 of the front panel better guides the air flow flowing out of the air outlet 2 to flow downward.

[0037] For example, the value of α is 6°, 7°, 8°, 9°, 10°, 11°, 12°, 13°, 14°.

[0038] In some embodiments, the angle θ between the rear side surface 52 of the front panel and the direction of the air inlet 1 is 90° - 150°.

[0039] As Figure 3 shown, the air inlet 1 is formed on the lower end surface of the air conditioner housing 110. The lower end surface of the air conditioner housing 110 can be set to be parallel to the horizontal plane, or the lower end surface of the air conditioner housing 110 can be set to extend from front to back and incline downward. In this embodiment, by defining the angle between the rear side surface 52 of the front panel and the direction of the air inlet 1, the air flow is made to flow downward along the front side surface 51 of the front panel, preventing the air flow from flowing back into the air duct 3 through the air inlet 1 and improving the air flow landing effect.

[0040] In some embodiments, the rear side surface of the front panel 5 is arranged in parallel with the front side surface 51 of the front panel.

[0041] Specifically, as Figure 2 shown, the rear side surface 52 of the front panel extends in the up - down direction and is arranged to incline backward, and the rear side surface 52 of the front panel is arranged in parallel with the front side surface 51 of the front panel, so that the front panel 5 extends in the up - down direction and is arranged to incline backward, reducing the area of the air duct 3 occupied by the rear side surface 52 of the front panel and increasing the area of the air duct 3.

[0042] In some embodiments, the air conditioner housing 110 further includes a wind deflector 6. The wind deflector 6 is arranged at the air outlet 2, and the wind deflector 6 is rotatably connected to the housing body 4 to open and close the air outlet 2.

[0043] Specifically, as Figure 3 shown, the left side of the wind deflector 6 is rotatably connected to the left inner wall surface of the housing body 4, the right end of the wind deflector 6 is rotatably connected to the housing body 4, the rotation axis of the wind deflector 6 extends in the left - right direction, and the wind deflector 6 is rotatable relative to the housing body 4 to open and close the air outlet 2. Through the arrangement of the wind deflector 6, the opening and closing of the air outlet 2 are realized.

[0044] In some embodiments, when the air deflector 6 closes the air outlet 2, the front side surface 61 of the air deflector extends in the direction from top to bottom and is arranged to incline backward.

[0045] Specifically, as Figure 1 shown, the front side surface 61 of the air deflector extends in the direction from top to bottom and is arranged to incline backward, such that the upper end of the front side surface 61 of the air deflector is located on the front side of the lower end of the front side surface 61 of the air deflector, which is beneficial to the flow of air.

[0046] In some embodiments, the front side surface 61 of the air deflector is coplanar with the front side surface 51 of the front panel.

[0047] In this embodiment, by setting the front side surface 61 of the air deflector and the front side surface 51 of the front panel to be coplanar, the aesthetic property is improved.

[0048] In some embodiments, the air deflector 6 extends in the direction from top to bottom and is arranged to incline backward, such that the upper end of the air deflector 6 is located on the front side of the lower end of the air deflector 6, which is convenient for adjusting the air outlet angle of the air flow blown out from the air outlet 2 and improves the comfort.

[0049] In some embodiments, the air deflector 6 has a first state. In the first state, the air deflector 6 partially opens the air outlet 2 and at least a part of the air deflector 6 faces the air outlet 2. In the first state, the shortest distance between the inner edge of the lower end of the air deflector 6 and the upper end of the front panel 5 is A, and 60 mm ≤ A ≤ 85 mm.

[0050] Specifically, as Figure 3 shown, when the air deflector 6 is in the first state, the air deflector 6 rotates until the upper end of the air deflector 6 is located at the rear side of the lower end of the air deflector 6. That is to say, the lower end of the air deflector 6 is separated from the air conditioner housing 110 to partially open the air outlet 2, and the upper end of the air deflector 6 faces the air outlet 2. In this embodiment, by limiting the shortest distance between the inner edge of the lower end of the air deflector 6 and the upper end of the front panel 5 in the first state, it is convenient to adjust the air outlet angle of the air deflector 6 when partially opening the air outlet 2, and thus it is convenient for the front panel 5 to better guide the air flow and improve the floor-standing effect.

[0051] It can be understood that the first state is the air outlet state of the air conditioner 100 in the floor-standing air mode.

[0052] For example, the value of A is 60 mm, 65 mm, 70 mm, 75 mm, 80 mm, 85 mm.

[0053] In some embodiments, in the first state, the included angle between the tangent direction of the inner edge of the lower end of the air deflector 6 and the vertical plane is β, and 6° ≤ β ≤ 14°.

[0054] In this embodiment, by defining the angle between the tangent direction of the inner edge at the lower end of the air deflector 6 and the vertical plane, it is convenient for the air deflector 6 to guide the air flow at the air outlet 2, reduce the flow resistance of the air flow at the air deflector 6, and increase the air volume of the air conditioner 100.

[0055] For example, the value of β is 6°, 7°, 8°, 9°, 10°, 11°, 12°, 13°, 14°.

[0056] In some embodiments, the inner side surface of the air deflector 6 includes a first air guiding surface 62, a transition air guiding surface 63, and a second air guiding surface 64 that are connected in sequence from top to bottom. The first air guiding surface 62 extends upward from the upper end of the transition air guiding surface 63 and is arranged obliquely forward. The second air guiding surface 64 extends downward from the lower end of the transition air guiding surface 63 and is arranged obliquely forward. In the first state, the shortest distance between the connection of the transition air guiding surface 63 and the second air guiding surface 64 and the upper end of the front panel 5 is A, and 60 mm ≤ A ≤ 85 mm.

[0057] Specifically, as Figures 4 - 5 shown, the transition air guiding surface 63 extends in the up-down direction. The first air guiding surface 62 is connected to the upper end of the transition air guiding surface 63 and is arranged obliquely forward. The second air guiding surface 64 is connected to the lower end of the transition air guiding surface 63 and is arranged obliquely forward. In the first state, the air flow at the air outlet 2 flows to the second air guiding surface 64 under the guiding action of the transition air guiding surface 63, and the air flow is mainly guided by the second air guiding surface 64. By arranging the second air guiding surface 64 obliquely forward relative to the transition air guiding surface 63 in the direction away from the transition air guiding surface 63, the landing speed of the air flow passing through the air deflector 6 can be increased, and the heating effect of the air conditioner 100 can be improved.

[0058] The inner edge at the lower end of the air deflector 6 in this embodiment refers to the connection of the transition air guiding surface 63 and the second air guiding surface 64. By defining the shortest distance between the connection of the transition air guiding surface 63 and the second air guiding surface 64 and the upper end of the front panel 5, it is convenient for the second air guiding surface 64 to guide the air flow.

[0059] Optionally, in this embodiment, by extending the first air guiding surface 62 upward from the upper end of the transition air guiding surface 63 and arranging it obliquely forward, when the air conditioner 100 is in the sky curtain air mode, the air flow at the air outlet 2 flows to the first air guiding surface 62 under the guiding action of the transition air guiding surface 63, and the air flow is mainly guided by the first air guiding surface 62. By extending the first air guiding surface 62 upward from the upper end of the transition air guiding surface 63 and arranging it obliquely forward, the eddy current formed by the air flow at the air deflector 6 can be reduced, thereby reducing the risk of condensation problems in the air conditioner 100.

[0060] In some embodiments, in the first state, the angle between the tangent direction at the connection of the transition air guide surface 63 and the second air guide surface 64 and the vertical plane is β, where 6° ≤ β ≤ 14°.

[0061] Specifically, as Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown, the tangent direction of the inner edge at the lower end of the air guide plate 6 refers to the tangent direction at the connection of the transition air guide surface 63 and the second air guide surface 64. By limiting the angle between the tangent direction at the connection of the transition air guide surface 63 and the second air guide surface 64 and the vertical plane in the first state, it is convenient for the second air guide surface 64 to guide the air flow and improve the air flow landing effect.

[0062] In some embodiments, the transition air guide surface 63 is a curved surface concave forward.

[0063] As Figure 5 shown, by setting the transition air guide surface 63 as a curved surface concave forward, the flow resistance of the transition air guide surface 63 to the air flow can be reduced, and the air volume of the air conditioner 100 can be increased.

[0064] In some embodiments, the transition air guide surface 63 includes a forwardly concave arc surface connected to the second air guide surface 64.

[0065] As Figure 5 shown, by connecting the forwardly concave arc surface of the transition air guide surface 63 to the second air guide surface 64, when the air flow flows from the transition air guide surface 63 to the second air guide surface 64, it will first flow to the forwardly concave arc surface of the transition air guide surface 63 and then flow to the second air guide surface 64, which can reduce the flow resistance of the air flow from the transition air guide surface 63 to the second air guide surface 64 and increase the landing speed of the air flow passing through the second air guide surface 64.

[0066] Optionally, the radius of the arc surface is 30 mm to 45 mm. By limiting the radius of the arc surface, the landing speed of the air flow passing through the air guide plate 6 in the floor air mode can be further increased, and the heating effect of the air conditioner 100 can be improved.

[0067] In some embodiments, the second air guide surface 64 is a flat surface.

[0068] Specifically, as Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown, by setting the second air guide surface 64 as a flat surface instead of a curved surface, the landing speed of the air flow passing through the air guide plate 6 in the floor air mode can be increased, and the heating effect of the air conditioner 100 can be improved.

[0069] The air conditioner 100 according to the embodiments of the present disclosure includes the air conditioner housing 110 of the above embodiments.

[0070] In the air conditioner 100 of this embodiment, the front side surface 51 of the front panel extends from top to bottom and is arranged obliquely backward, such that the lower end of the front side surface 51 of the front panel is located at the rear side of the upper end of the front side surface 51 of the front panel. The air outlet 2 opens forward and is located above the front panel 5. The air flow flowing out from the air outlet 2 will flow downward along the extending direction of the front panel 5. Due to the inclined backward arrangement of the front side surface 51 of the front panel, the front side surface 51 of the front panel guides the air flow to flow obliquely downward along the front side surface 51 of the front panel. The farther downward the air flow flows, the farther backward the distance between the front side surface 51 of the front panel and the vertical plane is. The air flow is more likely to flow downward to reach the ground, and moreover, the flowing distance of the air flow on the ground is increased.

[0071] As Figure 6 shown, in the floor air mode of the air conditioner 100 of this embodiment, the hot air flow is distributed in the area between the upper and lower two lines. From the distribution of the hot air flow, it can be seen that through the guiding action of the air deflector 6 and the front panel 5, the hot air flow can quickly reach the ground, ensuring that the hot air flow can reach the ground within one meter and flow on the ground for 3.5 meters, improving the heating effect of the air conditioner 100.
