[0031] Furthermore, it should be noted that, in the description of this utility model, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, the terms "mounted," "connected," and "connected" should be understood broadly. For example, they can refer to fixed connections, removable connections, or integral connections; they can refer to mechanical connections, direct connections, indirect connections through an intermediary, or internal connections between two components.

Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed to indicate or imply relative importance.

[0032] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides an air conditioner sub-unit for an air conditioner. The sub-unit includes a device body 4, which includes, from top to bottom, an air outlet unit 1, a fan unit 2, and an air inlet unit 3. The air outlet unit 1 is provided with an air outlet 111, the fan unit 2 is provided with a motor 22 and fan blades drivingly connected to the output shaft of the motor 22, and the air inlet unit 3 is provided with an air inlet 311. When the sub-unit is in operation, the motor 22 drives the fan blades to rotate via its output shaft, allowing external air to enter the device body 4 through the air inlet 311 and be discharged from the air outlet 111 after being processed.

[0033] like Figures 2 to 5 As shown, the air outlet unit 1 is disposed on the upper portion of the device body 4 and includes, among other things, a first housing 11. The outer periphery of the first housing 11 is provided with an annular air outlet 111. By providing the annular air outlet 111 on the outer periphery of the first housing 11, the embodiment of the present invention enables the air conditioner sub-unit to achieve 360° all-round lateral air outlet. Compared to the prior art solution that only vents air in four directions, front, back, left, and right, through the side, the air conditioner sub-unit provided by the present invention has a wider air outlet range, better air outlet effect, and improved air outlet effect.

[0034] like Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, the first housing 11 is constructed with an air outlet duct 112 corresponding to the annular air outlet 111. The air outlet duct 112 is connected to the annular air outlet 111 and includes an air outlet section near the air outlet 111 and an air outlet section away from the air outlet 111. The air outlet section near the air outlet 111 of the air outlet duct 112 is set at an angle with the height direction of the device body 4, and the air outlet section away from the air outlet 111 of the air outlet duct 112 is set in a vertical direction. Through the above arrangement, the air outlet 111 of the air outlet unit 1 can discharge air at an angle. Compared with the solution of horizontal air discharge, the solution of the utility model can further expand the air discharge range.

[0035] Further, continue to refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 , the air outlet section is inclined upward. Through the above arrangement, the air outlet 111 of the air outlet unit 1 can deliver air obliquely upward. It should be noted that, compared with the solution of delivering air in the horizontal direction, the embodiment of the utility model enables the air outlet 111 to deliver air obliquely upward, so that the air conditioner sub-unit can deliver air to an area at a certain height above it, thereby expanding the air outlet range; at the same time, since the air outlet 111 delivers air obliquely upward, the air flow formed by the air supply has a longer flow path, which allows the air flow to circulate in a larger spatial range, thereby further expanding the air outlet range and improving the air outlet effect.

[0036] Specifically, continue to refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 The angle between the air outlet section near the air outlet 111 and the height direction of the device body 4 is defined as α, which is greater than 95° and less than 175°, preferably 135°. The appropriate angle can be selected according to the actual air outlet height requirement.

[0037] like Figures 3 to 5 As shown, a plurality of flow-uniform baffles 1121 are provided in the air outlet section, and the plurality of flow-uniform baffles 1121 are spaced apart along the annular air outlet 111. Through the above arrangement, the air flow can be made smoother and more uniform, avoiding the situation where the local wind speed is too high, making the air flow softer and reducing the discomfort caused by direct blowing on the human body.

[0038] like Figure 6 As shown, the first shell 11 is further configured with a receiving space 113 located in the middle thereof and separated from the air outlet duct 112 .

[0039] Further, continue to refer to Figures 2 to 5 The air conditioner sub-unit further includes an air purification module, which includes a processing unit 12, etc. The processing unit 12 is arranged in the accommodating space 113, and the processing unit 12 is an ion generator and / or an ultraviolet lamp.

[0040] In an embodiment, the processing unit 12 is an ion generator, specifically a bipolar ion generator, capable of simultaneously generating positive and negative ions. The bipolar ion generator includes a positive ion generating electrode and a negative ion generating electrode, which are disposed within the air outlet duct 112 through the inner sidewall of the first housing 11, so that the bipolar ion generator can ionize the air transported within the air outlet duct 112.

[0041] The working principle of air treatment using a bipolar ion generator is as follows: When the positive and negative ion generating electrodes of a bipolar ion generator are connected to electricity, a corona is generated between the two electrodes. Under the action of the corona, the outer electrons of some atoms in some gas molecules in the air are de-orbited and become free electrons. The atoms that have lost electrons have a positive electrical polarity; the free electrons have a negative electrical polarity. Since the separated free electrons cannot exist independently in space for a long time, they will combine with other non-polar molecules in the air, causing the gas molecules that have gained electrons to have a negative electrical polarity. This process is called air ionization. When the positive and negative ions in the air combine with microorganisms such as bacteria and viruses in the air, they will destroy the molecular protein structure of bacteria, viruses and other microorganisms, causing them to undergo structural changes or energy transfer, thereby killing bacteria, viruses and other microorganisms and achieving a sterilization effect. It is understandable that the technology of bipolar ion generators is already very mature and will not be elaborated on here.

[0042] In some specific embodiments, the processing unit 12 is an ultraviolet lamp having a lamp tube capable of emitting ultraviolet rays. The lamp tube passes through the inner wall of the first shell 11 and is arranged in the air outlet duct 112 so that the lamp tube can perform ultraviolet disinfection on the air transported in the air outlet duct 112.

[0043] The working principle of UV air treatment is as follows: When powered, the lamp emits ultraviolet light of an appropriate wavelength. This UV radiation primarily kills microorganisms such as bacteria and viruses by damaging their nucleic acids and causing them to die, thereby achieving the purpose of disinfection. The effect of UV on nucleic acids can cause bond and chain breakage, interstrand crosslinking, and the formation of photochemical products, thereby altering biological activity and preventing microbial replication. Furthermore, this UV damage is lethal. As you can see, UV lamp technology is already very mature and will not be elaborated on here.

[0044] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the first housing 11 includes a bottom plate 114 corresponding to the accommodation space 113 . The bottom plate 114 is located at the bottom of the accommodation space 113 , and the processing unit 12 is mounted on the bottom plate 114 .

[0045] Furthermore, if Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, a plurality of radially extending reinforcing ribs 115 are arranged annularly on the bottom plate 114. This arrangement can improve the rigidity of the bottom plate 114, reduce bending deformation when subjected to force, and at the same time improve the strength of the bottom plate 114, reducing the risk of material fatigue and fracture of the bottom plate 114.

[0046] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the air outlet unit 1 further includes a top cover 13, which is used to cover the top of the storage space 113. The provision of the top cover 13 can prevent external foreign matter such as dust and hair from entering the storage space 113, thereby preventing external foreign matter from affecting the operation of the processing unit 12. At the same time, the top cover 13 has a certain sound insulation effect, which can, to a certain extent, block the noise generated by the operation of the motor 22 of the fan unit 2 from being transmitted outward. Furthermore, the top cover 13 can shield the components within the storage space 113, making the top of the air outlet unit 1 more neat and beautiful overall.

[0047] Furthermore, if Figure 3 As shown, the outer edge of the top cover 13 is provided with a plurality of second snap-fitting notches 131. The inner sidewall of the first housing 11 corresponding to the accommodating space 113 is correspondingly provided with a plurality of second snap-fitting buckles 1131 that match the second snap-fitting notches 131. The top cover 13 is snap-fitted to the first housing 11 via the second snap-fitting buckles 1131 and the second snap-fitting notches 131, covering the top of the accommodating space 113. By snapping the top cover 13 onto the first housing 11 in this manner, the top cover 13 can be quickly installed and removed, reducing installation and removal time.

[0048] In some specific embodiments, a plurality of second snap fasteners are provided around the outer edge of the top cover 13, and a plurality of second snap holes correspondingly adapted to the second snap fasteners are provided on the inner sidewall of the first housing 11 corresponding to the accommodating space 113. The top cover 13 is snapped onto the first housing 11 via the second snap holes and second snap fasteners, covering the top of the accommodating space 113. Snapping the top cover 13 onto the first housing 11 in this manner allows for quick installation and removal of the top cover 13, reducing installation and removal time.

[0049] Continue to refer Figure 1 and Figure 2 The fan unit 2 is arranged in the middle of the equipment body 4 and below the bottom plate 114. The fan unit 2 includes a second shell 21, a motor 22 and fan blades. The second shell 21 is constructed with a fan duct. The motor 22 and the fan blades are placed inside the fan duct, and the fan duct is connected to the outlet duct 112.

[0050] Furthermore, if Figure 8As shown, a mounting portion 116 is provided on the bottom plate 114, and the motor 22 is detachably connected to the mounting portion 116. Specifically, the motor 22 includes a motor housing, and the top of the motor housing is detachably connected to the mounting portion 116 by fasteners such as screws or studs.

[0051] Continue to refer Figure 8 The inner sidewall of the second housing 21 is provided with a plurality of first clips 211. Accordingly, the first housing 11 is provided with a plurality of first snap holes 117 that match the first clips 211. The first housing 11 and the second housing 21 are snapped together via the first clips 211 and the first snap holes 117. This method of snapping the first housing 11 to the second housing 21 allows for quick installation and removal of the first housing 11, reducing installation and removal time.

[0052] In some specific embodiments, the inner sidewall of the second housing 21 is provided with a plurality of first snap-fitting notches, and the first housing 11 is correspondingly provided with a plurality of first snap-fitting notches. The first housing 11 and the second housing 21 are snap-fitted together via the first snap-fitting notches and the first snap-fitting notches. This snap-fitting of the first housing 11 to the second housing 21 allows for quick installation and removal of the first housing 11, reducing installation and removal time.

[0053] Continue to refer Figure 1 and Figure 2 The air inlet unit 3 is arranged at the lower part of the equipment body 4, and the air inlet unit 3 includes a third shell 31. The front, side and / or rear of the third shell 31 are provided with an air inlet 311, and the third shell 31 is constructed with an air inlet duct corresponding to the air inlet 311, and the air inlet duct is respectively connected to the air inlet 311 and the fan duct.

[0054] In some specific embodiments, the air inlet unit 3 further includes a filter structure, which is placed inside the air inlet duct, so that air enters the air inlet duct through the air inlet 311, passes through the filter structure, and then passes through the fan duct and the air outlet duct 112 in sequence, and finally is discharged through the air outlet 111. Specifically, the filter structure is a dust filter.
