[0025] Embodiments of the present disclosure are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below by reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to explain the present disclosure, and cannot be understood as a limitation of the present disclosure.

[0026] The housing assembly 110 of the air conditioner 100 of the embodiments of the present disclosure has an air inlet 1 and an air outlet 2, the air outlet 2 is located above the air inlet 1, the housing assembly 110 comprises a housing body 3 and an air deflector 4. The housing body 3 comprises a front panel 31, the front panel 31 is arranged at the front end of the housing body 3, and the front panel 31 is located below the air outlet 2. The air deflector 4 is arranged at the air outlet 2, and the air deflector 4 is rotatably connected with the housing body 3 to open and close the air outlet 2. When the air deflector 4 closes the air outlet 2, the front side of the air deflector 4 extends in a direction from top to bottom and is arranged to be inclined backward, the air deflector 4 has a first limit position of upward movement, and at the first limit position, the included angle A between the front side 41 of the air deflector and the front side 311 of the front panel is 20°-70°; and / or, the included angle B between the front side 41 of the air deflector and a vertical plane is 10°-60°.

[0027] Specifically, as shown in Figures 1-2 The lower end of the housing assembly 110 is provided with the air inlet 1 with the opening direction downward, and the upper end of the housing assembly 110 is provided with the air outlet 2 with the opening direction forward, i.e. the air conditioner 100 of the housing assembly 110 for down air inlet and up air outlet, air enters the housing assembly 110 through the air inlet 1 at the lower end of the housing assembly 110, exchanges heat with the evaporator 120, and is discharged through the air outlet 2 at the upper end of the housing assembly 110.

[0028] The front panel 31 is arranged in the up-down direction and is spaced apart from the air deflector 4, and the front panel 31 is located at the lower end of the air deflector 4. The front panel 31 is arranged at the front end of the shell body 3, and the front side 311 of the front panel forms the front end face of the shell body 3. The air deflector 4 is arranged at the air outlet 2, and the rotation axis of the air deflector 4 extends in the left-right direction. The air deflector 4 is rotatably connected to the shell body 3 so that the air deflector 4 can rotate relative to the shell body 3 in the left-right direction to open and close the air outlet 2. When the air deflector 4 closes the air outlet 2, the front side 41 of the air deflector extends in the up-down direction and is arranged to be inclined backward, that is, the front side 41 of the air deflector is an inclined surface inclined backward from top to bottom, so that the upper end of the front side 41 of the air deflector is located in front of the lower end of the front side 41 of the air deflector, which is beneficial to the flow of air.

[0029] When the air deflector 4 moves upward to the first limit position, the included angle A between the front side 41 of the air deflector and the front side 311 of the front panel of the shell body 3 is 20°-70°; and / or, the included angle B between the front side 41 of the air deflector and the vertical plane is 10°-60°. It can be understood that, when the air deflector 4 moves upward to the first limit position, the included angle A between the front side 41 of the air deflector and the front side 311 of the front panel of the shell body 3 is 20°-70°; or, when the air deflector 4 moves upward to the first limit position, the included angle B between the front side 41 of the air deflector and the vertical plane is 10°-60°; or, when the air deflector 4 moves upward to the first limit position, the included angle A between the front side 41 of the air deflector and the front side 311 of the front panel of the shell body 3 is 20°-70°, and the included angle B between the front side 41 of the air deflector and the vertical plane is 10°-60°.

[0030] It can be understood that the first limit position is the minimum angle of upward rotation of the air deflector 4 in the heating mode of the air conditioner 100.

[0031] For example, the value of A is 20°, 28°, 35°, 50°, 60°, or 70°.

[0032] For example, the value of B is 10°, 20°, 35°, 50°, 55°, or 60°.

[0033] The shell assembly 110 of the air conditioner 100 of the embodiment of the present disclosure, the front side 41 of the air deflector extends in the up-down direction and is arranged to be inclined backward. When the air deflector 4 moves upward to the first limit position, the air flow from the air outlet 2 flows along the gap between the extension direction of the air deflector 4 and the extension direction of the front side 311 of the front panel. By limiting the included angle between the front side 41 of the air deflector and the front side 311 of the front panel of the shell body 3 and / or the included angle between the front side 41 of the air deflector and the vertical plane, the air deflector 4 is adjusted to adjust the air outlet angle of the air conditioner 100, thereby avoiding direct air flow and improving comfort and user experience.

[0034] In some embodiments, the front panel 31 extends in a top-to-bottom direction and is arranged to be inclined backward.

[0035] Specifically, as shown in Figures 1-2 the front side 311 of the front panel extends in a top-to-bottom direction and is arranged to be inclined backward, that is, the front side 311 of the front panel is a slope inclined backward from top to bottom, and the upper end of the front side 311 of the front panel is located in front of the lower end of the front side 311 of the front panel.

[0036] In the embodiment, the air outlet 2 opens forward and above the front panel 31, and the airflow flowing out of the air outlet 2 flows downward along the extension direction of the front panel 31. Due to the inclined arrangement of the front side 311 of the front panel backward, the front side 311 of the front panel guides the airflow to flow downward along the inclined front side 311 of the front panel, and the distance between the front side 311 of the front panel and the vertical plane is farther backward as the airflow flows downward, so that the airflow is more likely to flow downward to the ground and the flow distance of the airflow on the ground is increased.

[0037] In some embodiments, the front side 311 of the front panel is coplanar with the front side 41 of the air deflector.

[0038] In the embodiment, the front side 41 of the air deflector and the front side 311 of the front panel are arranged to be coplanar, thereby improving the appearance.

[0039] In some embodiments, the size L1 of the air deflector 4 in the inclined direction thereof is 90-120 mm.

[0040] Specifically, as shown in Figure 2 the air deflector 4 is arranged to be inclined backward from top to bottom, and the size of the air deflector 4 in the inclined direction thereof is greater than the size of the air deflector 4 in the vertical plane. By limiting the size of the air deflector 4 in the inclined direction thereof, it is avoided that the size of the air deflector 4 in the inclined direction thereof is too large, which causes uneven distribution of the airflow and local overcooling or overheating. Meanwhile, it is also avoided that the size of the air deflector 4 in the inclined direction thereof is too small, which limits the flow range of the airflow and reduces the efficiency of the air conditioner 100. By setting the size of the air deflector 4 in the inclined direction thereof within a reasonable range, it is ensured that the airflow is uniformly distributed, and the efficiency of the air conditioner 100 is improved.

[0041] For example, the value of L1 is 90 mm, 100 mm, 110 mm, or 120 mm.

[0042] In some embodiments, the size L2 of the front panel 31 in the inclined direction thereof is 170-260 mm.

[0043] Specifically, as shown in Figure 1As shown, the front panel 31 is arranged to be inclined rearward from top to bottom. By specifically limiting the size of the front panel 31 in the inclined direction thereof, the size of the front panel 31 in the inclined direction thereof is prevented from being too large to hinder the flow of the air flow, and the size of the air deflector 4 in the inclined direction thereof is prevented from being too small to fail to guide the air flow. By setting the size of the front panel 31 in the inclined direction thereof within a reasonable range, the front panel 31 can better guide the flow of the air flow, improve the uniformity of the air flow distribution, and thus improve the user comfort.

[0044] For example, the value of L2 is 170 mm, 180 mm, 200 mm, 220 mm, or 260 mm.

[0045] In some embodiments, the ratio of the size L2 of the front panel 31 in the inclined direction thereof to the size L1 of the air deflector 4 in the inclined direction thereof is 1.41-2.89.

[0046] Specifically, the size of the air deflector 4 in the inclined direction thereof is smaller than the size of the front panel 31 in the inclined direction thereof. By limiting the ratio of the size of the front panel 31 in the inclined direction thereof to the size of the air deflector 4 in the inclined direction thereof, the air flow path can be optimized, the air flow can be uniformly distributed, the efficiency of the air conditioner 100 can be improved, and the user comfort can be improved.

[0047] For example, the ratio of L2 to L1 is 1.41, 1.5, 1.6, 2, 2.5, or 2.89.

[0048] In some embodiments, the rear side 312 of the front panel is arranged in parallel with the front side 311 of the front panel.

[0049] Specifically, as shown in FIG. 1, the rear side 312 of the front panel is arranged to extend in the direction from top to bottom and to be inclined rearward. Figure 1 Specifically, as shown, the rear side 312 of the front panel extends in the direction from top to bottom and is arranged to be inclined rearward, and the inclination angle of the rear side 312 of the front panel is the same as the inclination angle of the front side 311 of the front panel, so that the front panel 31 extends in the direction from top to bottom and is arranged to be inclined rearward, reducing the area of the air duct occupied by the rear side 312 of the front panel and increasing the air duct area.

[0050] In some embodiments, when the air deflector 4 closes the air outlet 2, the included angle θ between the front side 41 of the air deflector and the vertical plane is 6°-15°.

[0051] Specifically, as shown in FIG. 1, the front side 41 of the air deflector is arranged to be inclined rearward. Figure 1As shown, by limiting the included angle between the front side 41 of the air deflector 4 and the vertical plane when the air deflector closes the air outlet 2, since the front side 41 of the air deflector is coplanar with the front side 311 of the front panel, the included angle between the front side 311 of the front panel and the vertical plane is further limited, so as to avoid that the included angle between the front side 311 of the front panel and the vertical plane is too large, and the air flow is difficult to flow downward along the front side 311 of the front panel, and also avoid that the included angle between the front side 311 of the front panel and the vertical plane is too small, and the guiding effect is not good, so as to ensure that the front side 311 of the front panel can better guide the air flow flowing out of the air outlet 2 to flow downward.

[0052] For example, the value of θ is 6°, 8°, 10°, 15°.

[0053] In some embodiments, in the first limit position, the horizontal distance L between the inner edge of the lower end of the air deflector 4 and the front side 311 of the front panel is 50mm-80mm.

[0054] Specifically, as shown in the figure, Figure 2 by limiting the horizontal distance between the inner edge of the lower end of the air deflector 4 and the front side 311 of the front panel in the first limit position, the air outlet angle of the air outlet 2 in the first limit position is limited by the air deflector 4, and the air flow is guided by the front side 311 of the front panel, and the air flow falling effect is improved.

[0055] For example, the value of L is 50mm, 55mm, 60mm, 70mm, 80mm.

[0056] In some embodiments, the shell assembly 110 of the air conditioner 100 further comprises a rocker arm 5, 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 deflector 4.

[0057] Specifically, as shown in the figure, Figures 1-2 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, and the front end of the rocker arm 5 extends out of the air outlet 2 through the rotation of the rocker arm 5, since the front end of the rocker arm 5 is connected to the air deflector 4, the air deflector 4 is further moved to the outside of the air outlet 2. The front end of the rocker arm 5 is rotatably connected to the air deflector 4, and the air deflector 4 can rotate relative to the rocker arm 5 in the left-right direction, and the flow direction of the air flow is changed through the rotation of the air deflector 4.

[0058] In the embodiment, the rear end of the rocker arm 5 is rotatably connected with the shell body 3, and the front end of the rocker arm 5 is rotatably connected with the air deflector 4, so that the rocker arm 5 rotates relative to the shell body 3 to move the air deflector 4 to the outside of the air outlet 2. The air deflector 4 arranged outside the air outlet 2 can improve the air guiding range of the air deflector 4, change the direction and speed of the airflow, adjust the air outlet angle, avoid direct blowing of the airflow, enhance the air supply effect, and thus reduce the energy consumption.

[0059] The air conditioner 100 of the embodiment of the present disclosure comprises the shell assembly 110 of the air conditioner 100 of the above embodiment.

[0060] The front side 41 of the air deflector 4 extends along the upward direction and is arranged to be inclined backward. When the air deflector 4 moves upward to the first limit position, the airflow flowing out of the air outlet 2 flows along the gap between the extension direction of the air deflector 4 and the extension direction of the front side 311 of the front panel. By limiting the included angle between the front side 41 of the air deflector and the front side 311 of the front panel of the shell body 3 and / or the included angle between the front side 41 of the air deflector and the vertical plane, the air sweeping angle of the air deflector 4 is adjusted, the air outlet angle of the air conditioner 100 is adjusted, direct blowing of the airflow is avoided, the comfort and user experience are improved.
