[0027] The embodiments of the present disclosure are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to be used to explain the present disclosure, but should not be understood as limiting the present disclosure.

[0028] The shell assembly 110 of the embodiment of the present disclosure is used for the air conditioner 100. The shell assembly 110 has an air inlet 1 and an air outlet 2. The air outlet 2 is located above the air inlet 1. The shell assembly 110 includes a shell body 3, an air guide plate 4, and a rocker arm 5. The shell body 3 includes a front panel 6. The front panel 6 is provided at the front end of the shell body 3 and is located below the air outlet 2. The air guide plate 4 is provided at the air outlet 2. The air guide plate 4 is rotatably connected to the shell body 3 to open and close the air outlet 2. When the air guide plate 4 closes the air outlet 2, the front side surface of the air guide plate 4 extends in a direction from top to bottom and is arranged to be tilted backward. One end of the rocker arm 5 is rotatably connected to the inner wall surface of the shell body 3, and the other end of the rocker arm 5 is rotatably connected to the air guide plate 4. In which, the air guide plate 4 has a first extreme position of upward movement. At the first extreme position, the distance L1 between the front edge of the rocker arm 5 and the top of the front panel 6 is 50mm-80mm, and the distance L2 between the front edge of the rocker arm 5 and the rear edge of the rocker arm 5 is 88mm-124mm; and / or, when the air guide plate 4 is in the first extreme position, the ratio of the distance L2 between the front edge of the rocker arm 5 and the rear edge of the rocker arm 5 to the distance L1 between the front edge of the rocker arm 5 and the top of the front panel 6 is 1.1-2.48.

[0029] Specifically, if Figure 1-Figure 2 As shown, the lower end of the shell component 110 is provided with an air inlet 1 with an opening facing downward, and the upper end of the shell component 110 is provided with an air outlet 2 with an opening facing forward, that is, the shell component 110 is used for an air conditioner 100 with air intake at the bottom and air outlet at the top. The air enters the shell component 110 through the air inlet 1 at the lower end of the shell component 110, exchanges heat with the evaporator 120, and is discharged through the air outlet 2 at the upper end of the shell component 110.

[0030] The front panel 6 and the air guide plate 4 are spaced apart in the vertical direction, and the front panel 6 is located at the lower end of the air guide plate 4. The front panel 6 is located at the front end of the shell body 3, and the front side surface of the front panel 6 forms the front end surface of the shell body 3. The air guide plate 4 is located at the air outlet 2, and the rotation axis of the air guide plate 4 extends in the left-right direction. The air guide plate 4 is rotatably connected to the shell body 3 so that the air guide plate 4 can rotate in the left-right direction relative to the shell body 3 to open and close the air outlet 2. When the air guide plate 4 closes the air outlet 2, the front side surface 41 of the air guide plate extends in a direction from top to bottom and is arranged to be tilted backward. That is, the front side surface 41 of the air guide plate is an inclined surface that tilts backward from top to bottom, so that the upper end of the front side surface 41 of the air guide plate is located in front of the lower end of the front side surface 41 of the air guide plate, which is conducive to the flow of air.

[0031] The rear end of the rocker arm 5 is rotatably connected to the inner wall surface of the shell body 3 so that the rocker arm 5 can rotate relative to the shell body 3. The rotation of the rocker arm 5 drives the front end of the rocker arm 5 to extend out of the air outlet 2. Since the front end of the rocker arm 5 is connected to the air guide plate 4, the air guide plate 4 is moved to the outside of the air outlet 2. The front end of the rocker arm 5 is rotatably connected to the air guide plate 4. The air guide plate 4 can rotate left and right relative to the rocker arm 5. The rotation of the air guide plate 4 changes the flow direction of the airflow. The rear end of the rocker arm 5 is rotatably connected to the shell body 3 and the front end of the rocker arm 5 is rotatably connected to the air guide plate 4 so that the rocker arm 5 rotates relative to the shell body 3 to move the air guide plate 4 to the outside of the air outlet 2. The arrangement of the air guide plate 4 outside the air outlet 2 can, on the one hand, increase the air guide range of the air guide plate 4 and, on the other hand, facilitate the air guide plate 4 to change the direction and speed of the airflow, facilitate the adjustment of the air outlet angle, avoid direct airflow, enhance the air supply effect, and thus reduce energy consumption.

[0032] The distance between the frontmost edge of the rocker arm 5 and the top of the front panel 6 is the horizontal distance between the frontmost edge of the rocker arm 5 and the top of the front panel 6. The distance between the frontmost edge of the rocker arm 5 and the rearmost edge of the rocker arm 5 is the size of the rocker arm 5 in the front-to-back direction.

[0033] It can be understood that when the air guide plate 4 is in the first extreme position, the air conditioner 100 is in the heating mode, and the air guide plate 4 is in the minimum angle state for upward movement.

[0034] When the air guide plate 4 is in the first extreme position, L1 and L2 can be taken according to the range of L1 being 50mm-80mm and L2 being 88mm-124mm; or, L1 and L2 can be taken according to the ratio range of L2 to L1 being 1.1-2.48; or, L1 and L2 can be taken according to the range of L1 being 50mm-80mm and L2 being 88mm-124mm combined with the ratio range of L2 to L1 being 1.1-2.48, that is, the values ​​of L1 and L2 satisfy that L1 is 50mm-80mm, L2 is 88mm-124mm, and the ratio of L2 to L1 is within the range of 1.1-2.48.

[0035] For example, the value of L1 is 50mm, 60mm, 70mm, 75mm, and 80mm.

[0036] For example, the value of L2 is 88mm, 90mm, 100mm, 115mm, 120mm, and 124mm.

[0037] In the shell assembly 110 of the embodiment of the present disclosure, the front side surface 41 of the air guide plate extends in a direction from top to bottom and is arranged to be tilted backward. When the air guide plate 4 moves upward to the first extreme position, the airflow flowing out of the air outlet 2 flows along the gap between the extension direction of the air guide plate 4 and the extension direction of the front side surface of the front panel 6. By limiting the distance between the front edge of the rocker arm 5 and the top of the front panel 6, it is convenient to determine the position of the air guide plate 4 extending out of the air outlet 2, and to facilitate the rotation of the air guide plate 4, so as to better limit the wind sweeping angle of the air guide plate 4, and then limit the air outlet angle of the airflow out of the air outlet 2, so as to avoid the airflow blowing directly on the user in different modes, thereby improving comfort and user experience.

[0038] In some embodiments, the ratio of L2 to L1 is 1.5-2.2.

[0039] Specifically, if Figure 2 As shown, in the first extreme position, the distance between the front edge of the rocker arm 5 and the top of the front panel 6 is greater than the distance between the front edge of the rocker arm 5 and the rear edge of the rocker arm 5. By limiting the ratio of the distance between the front edge of the rocker arm 5 and the rear edge of the rocker arm 5 to the distance between the front edge of the rocker arm 5 and the top of the front panel 6, it helps to optimize the airflow path, guide the airflow to be evenly distributed, improve the efficiency of the air conditioner 100 and improve the comfort.

[0040] For example, the ratios of L2 to L1 are 1.5, 1.8, 2, 2.1, and 2.2.

[0041] In some embodiments, the front panel 6 extends in a direction from top to bottom and is arranged to be tilted rearward.

[0042] Specifically, if Figure 1-Figure 2 As shown, the front side surface 61 of the front panel extends from top to bottom and is arranged tilted backward, that is, the front side surface 61 of the front panel is an inclined surface tilted backward from top to bottom, and the upper end of the front side surface 61 of the front panel is located in front of the lower end of the front side surface 61 of the front panel.

[0043] The air outlet 2 in this embodiment opens forward and is located above the front panel 6. The airflow flowing out of the air outlet 2 will flow downward along the extension direction of the front panel 6. Since the front side surface 61 of the front panel is arranged tilted backward, the front side surface 61 of the front panel guides the airflow to flow tilted downward along the front side surface 61 of the front panel. The further downward the airflow flows, the farther backward the front side surface 61 of the front panel is compared to the vertical plane. The airflow is easier to flow downward and land, and the flow distance of the airflow on the ground is increased.

[0044] In some embodiments, the front side of the front panel 6 is coplanar with the front side 41 of the air deflector.

[0045] Specifically, if Figure 1-Figure 2As shown, the front side surface 61 of the front panel is tilted. When the air deflector 4 closes the air outlet 2, the front side surface 41 of the air deflector is also tilted, and the tilt angle of the front side surface 41 of the air deflector and the front side surface 61 of the front panel are the same. By arranging the front side surface 41 of the air deflector and the front side surface 61 of the front panel to be coplanar when the air deflector 4 closes the air outlet 2, the air deflector 4 can more effectively close the air outlet 2, avoiding the presence of a gap when the air outlet 2 is closed, improving the aesthetics and enhancing the user experience of the air conditioner 100.

[0046] In some embodiments, the rear side of the front panel 6 is arranged parallel to the front side of the front panel 6 .

[0047] Specifically, if Figure 1 As shown, the rear side surface 62 of the front panel extends in a direction from top to bottom and is arranged tilted backward, and the inclination angle of the rear side surface 62 of the front panel is the same as the inclination angle of the front side surface 61 of the front panel, so that the front panel 6 extends in a direction from top to bottom and is arranged tilted backward, reducing the area of ​​the air duct occupied by the rear side surface 62 of the front panel and increasing the air duct area.

[0048] In some embodiments, the ratio of the dimension L4 of the front panel 6 in the inclined direction to the dimension L3 of the air guide plate 4 in the inclined direction is 1.41-2.89.

[0049] It can be understood that the larger the ratio of the dimension L4 of the front panel 6 in its inclined direction to the dimension L3 of the air guide plate 4 in its inclined direction, the smaller the size of the air outlet 2, the smaller the air output of the air conditioner 100 in different working modes, and the less likely interference will occur during the movement of the air guide plate 4; the smaller the ratio of the dimension L4 of the front panel 6 in its inclined direction to the dimension L3 of the air guide plate 4 in its inclined direction, the larger the size of the air outlet 2, the larger the air output of the air conditioner 100 in different working modes, the more likely interference will occur during the movement of the air guide plate 4, and the higher the requirements for the compactness of the layout of the internal components of the air conditioner 100.

[0050] In this embodiment, by setting the ratio of the dimension L4 of the front panel 6 in its tilted direction to the dimension L3 of the air guide plate 4 in its tilted direction to 1.41-2.89, the air guide plate 4 can effectively close the air outlet 2, making it less likely to interfere with the movement of the air guide plate 4. Furthermore, the size of the air outlet 2 can be set larger, ensuring a larger air volume in different operating modes of the air conditioner 100. In other words, the air outlet effect of the air conditioner 100 is better in different operating modes. Thus, the user comfort of the air conditioner 100 can be effectively improved.

[0051] In some embodiments, at the first extreme position, an angle A between the front side surface 41 of the air deflector and the front side surface of the front panel 6 is 20°-70°.

[0052] Specifically, if Figure 2 As shown, when the air guide plate 4 moves upward to the first extreme position, the air flow flowing out of the air outlet 2 flows along the gap between the extension direction of the air guide plate 4 and the extension direction of the front side surface 61 of the front panel. By limiting the angle between the front side surface 41 of the air guide plate and the front side surface 61 of the front panel, it is convenient to adjust the rotation angle of the air guide plate 4, and then adjust the air outlet angle of the air conditioner 100, avoid direct blowing of the air flow, and improve comfort and user experience.

[0053] For example, the values ​​of A are 20°, 28°, 35°, 50°, 60°, and 70°.

[0054] In some embodiments, at the first extreme position, an angle B between the front side surface 41 of the air deflector and the vertical plane is 10°-60°.

[0055] Specifically, if Figure 2 As shown, when the air guide plate 4 moves upward to the first extreme position, the air flow flowing out of the air outlet 2 flows along the gap between the extension direction of the air guide plate 4 and the extension direction of the front side surface 61 of the front panel. By limiting the angle between the front side surface 41 of the air guide plate and the vertical plane, it is convenient to adjust the rotation angle of the air guide plate 4, and then adjust the air outlet angle of the air conditioner 100, avoid direct blowing of the air flow, and improve comfort and user experience.

[0056] For example, the values ​​of B are 10°, 20°, 35°, 50°, 55°, and 60°.

[0057] In some embodiments, when the air guide plate 4 closes the air outlet 2 , the angle θ between the front side surface 41 of the air guide plate and the vertical plane is 6°-15°.

[0058] Specifically, if Figure 1 As shown, by limiting the angle between the front side surface 41 of the air guide plate and the vertical plane when the air guide plate 4 closes the air outlet 2, since the front side surface 41 of the air guide plate is coplanar with the front side surface 61 of the front panel, the angle between the front side surface 61 of the front panel and the vertical plane is limited, thereby avoiding that the angle between the front side surface 61 of the front panel and the vertical plane is too large, which makes it difficult for the airflow to flow downward along the front side surface 61 of the front panel, and at the same time, avoiding that the angle between the front side surface 61 of the front panel and the vertical plane is too small, which has no guiding effect, thereby ensuring that the front side surface 61 of the front panel better guides the airflow flowing out of the air outlet 2 to flow downward.

[0059] For example, the values ​​of θ are 6°, 8°, 10°, and 15°.

[0060] In some embodiments, at the first extreme position, a horizontal distance L0 between an inner edge of the lower end of the air guide plate 4 and the front side surface 61 of the front panel is 50 mm-80 mm.

[0061] Specifically, if Figure 2 As shown, by limiting the horizontal distance between the inner edge of the lower end of the air guide plate 4 and the front side surface 61 of the front panel at the first extreme position, it is convenient to limit the air outlet angle of the air outlet 2 of the air guide plate 4 at the first extreme position, and then facilitate the front side surface 61 of the front panel to guide the airflow, thereby improving the airflow landing effect.

[0062] For example, the horizontal distance L0 between the inner edge of the lower end of the air guide plate 4 and the front side surface 61 of the front panel is 50 mm, 55 mm, 60 mm, 70 mm, or 80 mm.

[0063] In some embodiments, as Figure 3 As shown, the flip angle D of the air guide plate 4 relative to the other end of the rocker arm 5 is 105°-150°.

[0064] Specifically, if Figure 3 As shown, when the front side surface 41 of the air guide plate is located at the lower end of the air guide plate 4, the air guide plate is at the maximum downward rotation angle, and the first limit position is the minimum upward rotation angle of the air guide plate. The flipping angle of the air guide plate 4 relative to the front end of the rocker arm 5 refers to the angle range in which the air guide plate 4 can rotate relative to the rocker arm 5. By limiting the flipping angle of the air guide plate 4 relative to the front end of the rocker arm 5, the air guiding range of the air guide plate 4 can be increased, which is convenient for increasing the air supply range of the air conditioner 100 and improving the efficiency of the air conditioner 100.

[0065] For example, the tilting angle D of the air guide plate 4 relative to the other end of the rocker arm 5 is 105°, 110°, 120°, 125°, 130°, 135°, 140°, or 150°.

[0066] The air conditioner 100 according to the embodiment of the present disclosure includes a housing assembly 110 according to the embodiment described above.

[0067] In the air conditioner 100 of the disclosed embodiment, the front side surface 41 of the air guide plate extends in a direction from top to bottom and is arranged to be tilted backward. When the air guide plate 4 moves upward to the first extreme position, the airflow flowing out of the air outlet 2 flows along the gap between the extension direction of the air guide plate 4 and the extension direction of the front side surface of the front panel 6. By limiting the distance between the front edge of the rocker arm 5 and the top of the front panel 6, it is convenient to determine the position of the air guide plate 4 extending out of the air outlet 2, and to facilitate the rotation of the air guide plate 4, so as to better limit the wind sweeping angle of the air guide plate 4, and then limit the air outlet angle of the airflow out of the air outlet 2, so as to avoid the airflow blowing directly on the user in different modes, thereby improving comfort and user experience.
