[0023] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present application. In the present utility model, unless otherwise specified, the directional words used, such as "upper" and "lower", generally refer to the upper and lower parts of the device in actual use or working state, specifically the drawing direction in the accompanying drawings; and "inside" and "outside" refer to the outline of the device. In the present application, movement may include different forms such as rotation or movement.

[0024] The embodiment of the present application provides a ducted air conditioner to solve the problem of a single air outlet direction of the ducted air conditioner.

[0025] In the embodiments of this application, Figure 1 As shown, the ducted air conditioner includes a main body 1 and an air outlet structure 2 arranged in the main body 1. The main body 1 is provided with multiple air outlets 11, and the air outlet structure 2 is provided with an air outlet portion 211. The air outlet structure 2 moves to switch the air outlet portion 211 between the multiple air outlets 11 so that the air outlet portion 211 is connected to the air outlet 11 located at the target position.

[0026] It should be noted that the air outlet structure 2 refers to the structure that has the air outlet function; movement can refer to rotation or movement; and the target position refers to the user's desired air outlet position. It can be understood that by moving the air outlet structure 2 to change the position of the air outlet portion 211, the air outlet portion 211 switches between multiple air outlets 11 until it connects with the air outlet 11 at the target position, providing a ducted air conditioner with multiple air outlet directions to meet the user's requirements for air delivery at different angles.

[0027] In some embodiments, the air outlet structure 2 includes an air outlet housing, the air outlet housing is provided with an air outlet portion, a fan assembly 21 is provided in the air outlet housing, and the fan assembly 21 is provided with an air duct 212 connected to the air outlet portion 211. The air outlet housing moves to switch the air outlet portion 211 to any air outlet 11, so that the air in the air duct 212 is blown out from any air outlet 11. It should be noted that when the air outlet housing is moved to any position, the air outlet portion always remains connected to the air duct 212. It is understandable that by moving the air outlet housing to change the position of the air outlet portion, the air duct 212 is connected to different air outlets 11 and the air is discharged in different directions.

[0028] For example, the air outlet portion has a first end and a second end, the first end is used to communicate with any air outlet 11, and the air duct 212 is connected to the air outlet portion between the first end and the second end; the air outlet 11 includes a first air outlet 111 and a second air outlet 112, the first air outlet 111 is formed on the front side wall of the main body 1, and the second air outlet 112 is formed on the lower side wall of the main body 1; when the air outlet housing rotates to the first end of the air outlet portion and communicates with the first air outlet 111, the air duct 212 of the fan assembly 21 12 is located between the first end and the second end and discharges air from the first end; when the air outlet shell rotates to the point where the first end of the air outlet portion is connected to the second air outlet 112, the first end of the air outlet shell is away from the air duct 212 of the fan assembly 21, and the second end of the air outlet shell is close to the air duct 212 of the fan assembly 21, which is equivalent to the air flow distance between the first end of the air outlet shell and the air duct 212 becoming longer, and the air flow in the air duct 212 still flows out from the first end of the air outlet shell and flows out from the second air outlet 112.

[0029] In some embodiments, as Figure 2 As shown, the air outlet structure 2 includes a fan assembly 21, which is provided with an air outlet portion 211 and an air duct 212. The air duct 212 is connected to the air outlet portion 211. The fan moves to switch the air outlet portion 211 to any air outlet 11, so that the air in the air duct 212 is blown out from any air outlet 11. It is understood that in this embodiment, the air outlet portion 211 of the fan assembly 21 is different from the air outlet portion of the air outlet housing in other embodiments. The fan assembly 21 can be moved to synchronously switch the air duct 212 and the air outlet portion 211 between different air outlets 11, thereby achieving air discharge in different directions.

[0030] In some embodiments, as Figure 2 As shown, the fan assembly 21 includes a volute, which is provided with an air outlet 211 and an air duct 212. The air duct 212 is connected to the air outlet 211. The volute rotates to switch the air outlet 211 to any air outlet 11, so that the air in the air duct 212 is blown out from any air outlet 11. It is understood that the volute can rotate about its central axis and can be rotated and switched to different air outlets 11 by utilizing the existing installation space of the volute.

[0031] In some embodiments, as Figure 2 As shown, the ducted air conditioner further includes an air guide housing 22 fixedly disposed within the main body 1. The air guide housing 22 is provided with two guide grooves 221, each of which connects to the two air outlets 11. The fan assembly 21 is movably disposed within the air guide housing 22 so that the air outlet portion 211 switches between the two guide grooves 221. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the fan assembly 21 differs from the movable fan assembly 21 in other embodiments. The two guide grooves 221 enable the movable fan assembly 21 to discharge air in two directions.

[0032] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 As shown, the air outlet 11 includes a first air outlet 111 and a second air outlet 112. The first air outlet 111 is formed on the peripheral side wall of the main body 1, and the second air outlet 112 is formed on the upper side wall or the lower side wall of the main body 1. The air outlet structure 2 rotates to switch the air outlet portion 211 between the first air outlet 111 and the second air outlet 112, so that the air outlet portion 211 is connected to the first air outlet 111 or the second air outlet 112 respectively. The first air outlet 111 can be used to supply air over a long distance. Exemplarily, the first air outlet 111 can be set on the front side wall of the main body 1 to realize the front air outlet of the duct machine; when the second air outlet 112 is formed on the upper side wall of the main body 1, the air outlet above the main body 1 is realized, and air can be supplied to the higher space in the room; when the second air outlet 112 is formed on the lower side wall of the main body 1, air supply is realized below the main body 1. This air outlet direction is suitable for the air outlet in the heating mode of the duct machine, which can slow down the rising of hot air. At the same time, this air outlet direction can form a wind curtain, which is particularly suitable for being set at the entrance of a shopping mall to isolate indoor and outdoor air.

[0033] In some embodiments, as Figure 4 As shown, multiple air outlet structures 2 are provided, and multiple fan assemblies 21 are provided, and they correspond one-to-one with the air outlet structures 2. It can be understood that in this embodiment, the fan assemblies 21 correspond one-to-one with the fan housings included in the air outlet structure 2, so that the multiple fan housings can move independently, so that the airflow generated by the multiple fan assemblies 21 is blown out from different air outlets 11. At the same time, the air duct has one or more air outlet directions.

[0034] Exemplarily, the air outlet 11 includes a first air outlet 111 and a second air outlet 112. The first air outlet 111 is formed on the peripheral side wall of the main body 1 and is provided with two, and the second air outlet 112 is formed on the upper side wall or the lower side wall of the main body 1 and is provided with two. The air outlet structure 2 rotates to switch the air outlet portion 211 between the first air outlet 111 and the second air outlet 112.

[0035] There are two air outlet structures 2, and two fan assemblies 21 are provided, one corresponding to each air outlet structure 2. In this way, the air outlet portion 211 of one air outlet structure 2 can be connected to the first air outlet 111, and the air outlet portion 211 of the other air outlet structure 2 can be connected to the second air outlet 112, thereby achieving air outlet from the front and bottom of the main body 1 at the same time.

[0036] In some embodiments, as Figure 4 As shown, multiple air outlet structures 2 are provided, and multiple air guide housings 22 are provided, and they correspond one-to-one with the air outlet structures 2. It can be understood that in this embodiment, the air guide housings 22 correspond one-to-one with the fan assemblies 21 included in the air outlet structure 2, so that the multiple fan assemblies 21 can move independently, so that the airflow generated by the multiple fan assemblies 21 is blown out from different guide grooves 221 and then blown out from different air outlets 11. At the same time, the air duct air conditioner has one or more air outlet directions.

[0037] Exemplarily, the air outlet 11 includes a first air outlet 111 and a second air outlet 112. The first air outlet 111 is formed on the peripheral side wall of the main body 1 and is provided with two, and the second air outlet 112 is formed on the upper side wall or the lower side wall of the main body 1 and is provided with two. The air outlet structure 2 rotates to switch the air outlet portion 211 between the first air outlet 111 and the second air outlet 112.

[0038] There are two air outlet structures 2, two air guide housings 22 and one-to-one correspondence with the air outlet structures 2, and two guide grooves 221 of the air guide housing 22 are respectively connected to the first air outlet 111 and the second air outlet 112. Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the air outlet 211 of one fan assembly 21 can be connected to the first air outlet 111 through a guide groove 221, and the air outlet 211 of another fan assembly 21 can be connected to the second air outlet 112 through another guide groove 221, thereby realizing air outlet from the front and bottom sides of the main body 1 at the same time.

[0039] In some embodiments, the duct air conditioner further includes a driving member, and there are multiple driving members, any of which is used to drive one or more air outlet structures 2 to move. It should be noted that the driving member includes a motor. It is understandable that there can be multiple driving members and they correspond one to one with multiple air outlet structures 2, so that the multiple air outlet structures 2 can move relatively independently without interfering with each other; there can be multiple driving members, and one driving member can drive two or more air outlet structures 2 to move at the same time. The air outlet structure 2 here refers to the air outlet housing or fan assembly 21.

[0040] In some embodiments, as Figure 4As shown, fan assembly 21 includes centrifugal fans, with adjacent centrifugal fans spaced apart. It should be noted that a centrifugal fan is a structure that draws air in along the axial direction and discharges air in a direction perpendicular to the radial direction. It is understood that spacing multiple centrifugal fans apart helps ensure consistent air output from each centrifugal fan.

[0041] In some embodiments, the duct air conditioner further includes a gear and a rack that mesh with each other, the rack is fixedly connected to the arcuate surface of the air outlet structure 2, and the gear is connected to the driving member. It should be noted that the gear and rack mechanism includes a gear and a rack that mesh with each other, the rack is an arcuate rack to better connect to the arcuate surface of the air outlet structure 2, and the driving member includes a motor. Exemplarily, the arcuate surface of the air outlet structure 2 can be the outer circumference or inner circumference of the air outlet housing, or the outer circumference or inner circumference of the fan assembly 21; the gear is connected to the motor shaft of the motor, and the rack motor drives the gear to rotate, thereby driving the rack to move.

[0042] In some embodiments, as Figure 3 As shown, the air guide housing 22 is provided with a slot 222, and the gear is located in the slot 222. In this way, the slot 222 limits the movement range of the gear, which can avoid unnecessary shaking during the driving process of the driving member causing the gear to disengage from the rack.

[0043] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 As shown, the ducted air conditioner further includes an indoor heat exchanger 3, which is located between at least one air outlet 11 and the air outlet portion 211 to exchange heat with the gas flowing out of the air outlet portion 211. Exemplarily, the air outlet 11 includes a first air outlet 111 and a second air outlet 112, the first air outlet 111 being formed on a peripheral side wall of the main body 1, and the second air outlet 112 being formed on an upper side wall or a lower side wall of the main body 1, and the indoor heat exchanger 3 being located between the first air outlet 111 and the air outlet portion 211 of the fan assembly 21, or between the second air outlet 112 and the air outlet portion 211 of the fan assembly 21.
