For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection, an electrical connection, or a communication connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0035] The air conditioner 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0036] like Figure 3 As shown, the air conditioner 100 according to an embodiment of the present utility model includes a housing 1.

[0037] Specifically, see the attached document. Figure 3 As shown, the housing 1 can protect the internal structure of the air conditioner 100, prevent the internal structure of the air conditioner 100 from being exposed and damaged, help extend the service life of the air conditioner 100, and has a better appearance.

[0038] Further, see attached document. Figure 1 , Attachment Figure 2 and attached Figure 4 As shown, the housing 1 has an air outlet duct 10, and the housing 1 includes components in the front-to-back direction (e.g., Figure 4 The front shell 16 and the rear box component 15 are arranged and connected on the upper part (as shown). Both the front shell 16 and the rear box component 15 are along the vertical direction (e.g., Figure 4 As shown, the front shell 16 extends and has a first air outlet 113, a second air outlet 114, and a third air outlet 121. All three air outlets are connected to the air outlet duct 10. The first air outlet 113 and the second air outlet 114 are both located in the vertical direction (e.g., as shown). Figure 1 (As shown) extends and in the left and right directions (such as) Figure 1 As shown, the air outlet 121 is spaced apart on the left and right sides of the air conditioner 100. The first air outlet 113 and the second air outlet 114 are located slightly to the left and right of the air conditioner 100, respectively. The third air outlet 121 is located directly in front of the air conditioner 100, which increases the air supply range and angle of the air conditioner 100, increases the air outlet area of ​​the air conditioner 100, achieves wide-angle air supply, and avoids direct airflow from the front of the air conditioner 100 (as shown). Figure 4 The front side (as shown) creates a dead airflow area, thereby improving the airflow effect of the air conditioner 100, enhancing user comfort, and improving the user experience.

[0039] Understandably, depending on the user's different needs, it is possible that only one of the first air outlet 113, the second air outlet 114, and the third air outlet 121 will produce air, while the other two will not produce air; it is also possible that two of the first air outlet 113, the second air outlet 114, and the third air outlet 121 will produce air, while the remaining one will not produce air; or it is also possible that the first air outlet 113, the second air outlet 114, and the third air outlet 121 will produce air simultaneously.

[0040] According to the embodiment of the present invention, the air conditioner 100 has a first air outlet 113, a second air outlet 114, and a third air outlet 121 on the front shell 16. In the left-right direction, the third air outlet 121 is located between the first air outlet 113 and the second air outlet 114, which can increase the air supply range and air supply angle of the air conditioner 100, increase the air supply area of ​​the air conditioner 100, realize wide-angle air supply of the air conditioner 100, avoid the appearance of air supply dead corners on the front of the air conditioner 100, thereby improving the air supply effect of the air conditioner 100, improving user comfort, and improving the user experience.

[0041] In some embodiments of this utility model, reference is made to the appendix. Figure 6 As shown, the air outlet duct 10 includes a first air duct 101 and a second air duct 102, which are arranged vertically. A first air outlet 113 and a second air outlet 114 are both connected to the first air duct 101. A third air outlet 121 is connected to the second air duct 102 and is located at the center plane of the first air duct 101 in the vertical direction (see attached diagram). Figure 6 The upper or lower side of the horizontal plane where line c is shown.

[0042] It is understandable that when the third air outlet 121 is located above the center plane of the first air duct 101 in the vertical direction, when the air conditioner 100 turns on the cooling mode, the cold air blown out is heavier than the hot air and will naturally sink. Therefore, allowing some airflow to be blown out from the third air outlet 121 can allow the cold air to diffuse from above to the entire room, lowering the indoor temperature more quickly, improving the cooling effect of the air conditioner 100, increasing the cooling efficiency of the air conditioner 100, reducing overcooling of local areas, making the indoor temperature distribution more uniform, providing a more comfortable environment, saving energy to a certain extent, and reducing the amount of air blown directly onto the user by the air conditioner 100, reducing user discomfort, avoiding problems such as colds, and improving the comfort of using the air conditioner 100.

[0043] When the third air outlet 121 is located below the center plane of the first air duct 101 in the vertical direction, when the air conditioner 100 is turned on in heating mode, the hot air blown out is lighter than the cold air and will naturally rise. Therefore, by blowing part of the airflow out from the third air outlet 121, the hot air can be directly blown towards the cold air near the ground, and the two form convection, thereby accelerating the rise of the overall indoor temperature, improving the heating effect of the air conditioner 100, improving the heating efficiency of the air conditioner 100, reducing the indoor temperature difference, facilitating the uniform distribution of indoor temperature, providing a more comfortable environment, and helping to save energy, reduce electricity costs, and improve the energy efficiency ratio.

[0044] In a further embodiment of this utility model, reference is made to the appendix. Figure 1As shown, the third air outlet 121 is located above the center surface of the first air duct 101 in the vertical direction, and the lower end of the third air outlet 121 is located below the upper end of the first air duct 101. This avoids the third air outlet 121 being too high, ensuring the airflow effect and blowing sensation of the third air outlet 121 in front of the air conditioner 100. It also avoids a certain distance between the third air outlet 121 and the first air duct 101 in the vertical direction, preventing dead airflow corners in front of the air conditioner 100. This improves the airflow effect of the air conditioner 100, enhances user comfort, and improves the user experience.

[0045] Alternatively, refer to the appendix. Figure 2 As shown, the third air outlet 121 is located below the center plane of the first air duct 101 in the vertical direction, and the upper end of the third air outlet 121 is located above the lower end of the first air duct 101. This avoids the third air outlet 121 being positioned too low, ensuring the airflow effect and blowing sensation of the third air outlet 121 on the front of the air conditioner 100. It also avoids a certain distance between the third air outlet 121 and the first air duct 101 in the vertical direction, preventing dead airflow corners on the front of the air conditioner 100. This improves the airflow effect of the air conditioner 100, enhances user comfort, and improves the user experience.

[0046] In a further embodiment of this utility model, reference is made to the appendix. Figure 5 As shown, the first air duct 101 includes a first sub-air duct 1011 and a second sub-air duct 1012. There are two second sub-air ducts 1012. The rear ends of the two second sub-air ducts 1012 are connected to the first sub-air duct 1011. The front ends of the two second sub-air ducts 1012 are spaced apart in the left and right directions and are respectively connected to the first air outlet 113 and the second air outlet 114. The arrangement of the two second sub-air ducts 1012 can divide the air flowing out of the first sub-air duct 1011 into two streams and flow to the first air outlet 113 and the second air outlet 114 respectively, so as to realize the normal air outlet of the first air outlet 113 and the second air outlet 114.

[0047] In a further embodiment of this utility model, the first air duct 101 and the second air duct 102 are independent of each other or connected. When the first air duct 101 and the second air duct 102 are independent of each other, the mutual interference of airflow between the first air duct 101 and the second air duct 102 can be reduced, ensuring that the airflow in each air duct can flow according to the predetermined path and speed, which helps to reduce airflow loss and improve the overall air supply efficiency of the air conditioner 100. Furthermore, by making the first air duct 101 and the second air duct 102 independent of each other, the air volume of each air duct can be controlled more precisely, thereby meeting different user needs and realizing various situations such as the first air outlet 113 and the second air outlet 114 being open and the third air outlet 121 being closed, the third air outlet 121 being open and the first air outlet 113 and the second air outlet 114 being closed, and the first air outlet 113, the second air outlet 114 and the third air outlet 121 all being open.

[0048] When the first air duct 101 is connected to the second air duct 102, the ventilation volume or flow direction of the first air duct 101 and the second air duct 102 can be flexibly adjusted according to actual needs. This allows for a more even distribution of air volume among different air ducts, ensuring that the air volume of the first air duct 101 matches the air outlet area of ​​the first air outlet 113 and the second air outlet 114, and that the air volume of the second air duct 102 matches the air outlet area of ​​the third air outlet 121. This avoids energy waste caused by excessive or insufficient air volume in the first air duct 101 or the second air duct 102, and achieves dynamic balance of air volume, thereby improving the energy efficiency of the air conditioner 100.

[0049] In a further embodiment of this utility model, reference is made to the appendix. Figure 4 As shown, the rear housing component 15 has an air inlet 151 that communicates with the air outlet duct 10. The air inlet 151 is spaced apart from the first air outlet 113, the second air outlet 114, and the third air outlet 121. The air inlet 151 extends along the length of the housing 1 (see attached diagram). Figure 4 Extending in the vertical direction shown, the airflow outside the air conditioner 100 can enter the air conditioner 100 through the air inlet 151, and then flow through the air outlet duct 10 to the first air outlet 113, the second air outlet 114 and the third air outlet 121, and finally blow into the room to regulate the indoor temperature.

[0050] Further, see attached document. Figure 4As shown, the air conditioner 100 also includes a fan assembly 2, which is located inside the housing 1. The fan assembly 2 includes a fan wheel 21 that extends vertically to drive airflow into the housing 1 from the air inlet 151. The air conditioner 100 also includes a heat exchanger assembly 4, which is located inside the housing 1. Along the direction of airflow, the fan assembly 2 is located downstream of the heat exchanger assembly 4, which facilitates the fan assembly 2 to drive the airflow outside the air conditioner 100 into the housing 1 from the air inlet 151. This allows the airflow inside the air conditioner 100 to exchange heat with the heat exchanger assembly 4 first, and then enter the air outlet duct 10 under the drive of the fan assembly 2. Finally, the airflow is blown out of the air conditioner 100 through the first air outlet 113, the second air outlet 114, and the third air outlet 121, thereby achieving the effect of regulating the indoor temperature and meeting the user's needs.

[0051] Furthermore, see the attached document. Figure 6 As shown, along the vertical direction, the length of the impeller 21 is a, and the length of the first air duct 101 is b, and the condition a≤b is met. This ensures that the airflow can fully develop within the first air duct 101, avoiding adverse factors such as eddies and turbulence, allowing the airflow to flow more smoothly within the first air duct 101, improving the ventilation efficiency of the first air duct 101, and playing a role in buffering and noise reduction to a certain extent, thereby improving the comfort of the air outlet system.

[0052] Optionally, the housing 1 may be equipped with at least one of a purification component and a humidification component. Different components can be selected according to different actual needs to meet different usage requirements. Specifically, the purification component purifies the airflow entering the air conditioner 100, allowing the purified airflow to be blown into the room, thus improving air quality. The humidification component humidifies the airflow entering the air conditioner 100, allowing the humidified airflow to be blown into the room, increasing the indoor moisture content and achieving a humidification effect.

[0053] In a further embodiment of this utility model, reference is made to the appendix. Figure 5 As shown, the air conditioner 100 also includes a louver assembly 3, which is disposed in the first air duct 101 and includes multiple louvers 31. The multiple louvers 31 are spaced apart in the vertical direction and rotate synchronously. The multiple louvers 31 are arranged opposite to the first air outlet 113 and the second air outlet 114. By controlling the rotation angle of the multiple louvers 31, the air supply direction and wind speed at the first air outlet 113 and the second air outlet 114 can be precisely adjusted. In summer, by reasonably adjusting the angle of the louvers 31, the indoor air circulation can be made faster, thereby accelerating the reduction of indoor temperature. In winter, the angle of the louvers 31 can be adjusted to make the air flow more gentle and improve the indoor warmth. This allows the air conditioner 100 to provide a more comfortable environment according to different seasons and weather conditions.

[0054] In a specific example, see Appendix Figure 5 As shown, the first air duct 101 includes a first sub-air duct 1011 and two second sub-air ducts 1012. The rear ends of the two second sub-air ducts 1012 are connected to the first sub-air duct 1011. The front ends of the two second sub-air ducts 1012 are spaced apart in the left-right direction and are respectively connected to the first air outlet 113 and the second air outlet 114. The second air duct 102 is located above the second sub-air duct 1012 and is connected to the second sub-air duct 1012. The louver 31 includes a first plate 311 and a second plate 312. The rear ends of the first plate 311 and the second plate 312 are connected. The front ends of the first plate 311 and the second plate 312 are spaced apart in the left-right direction. The opposite ends of the first plate 311 and the second plate 312 extend into the two second sub-air ducts 1012 respectively. By rotating the louver 31 to the required angle, the first plate 311 and the second plate 312 can guide the airflow in the two second sub-air ducts 1012.

[0055] When the louvers 31 are rotated upwards, the airflow from the second sub-duct 1012 to the second duct 102 increases, allowing some airflow to exit the air conditioner 100 from the third air outlet 121. When the air conditioner 100 is in cooling mode, the cold air blown out is heavier than the hot air and will naturally sink. Therefore, allowing some airflow to be blown out from the third air outlet 121 allows the cold air to diffuse from above to the entire room, reducing the indoor temperature more quickly, improving the cooling effect of the air conditioner 100, increasing the cooling efficiency of the air conditioner 100, reducing overcooling of local areas, making the indoor temperature distribution more uniform, providing a more comfortable environment, saving energy to a certain extent, and reducing the amount of air blown directly onto the user by the air conditioner 100, reducing user discomfort, avoiding colds and other problems, and improving the comfort of using the air conditioner 100.

[0056] In some embodiments of this utility model, reference is made to the appendix. Figure 4As shown, the front housing 16 includes an air outlet frame assembly 11 and a panel 12. The air outlet frame assembly 11 is located on the front side of the rear housing component 15 and is connected to the rear housing component 15. The air outlet frame assembly 11 defines an air outlet duct 10. A first air outlet 113 and a second air outlet 114 are both provided on the air outlet frame assembly 11. The air outlet frame assembly 11 is also provided with an air passage 115, which communicates with the air outlet duct 10. In the left-right direction, the air passage 115 is located between the first air outlet 113 and the second air outlet 114. Between 4, panel 12 is located in front of air outlet frame assembly 11 and connected to air outlet frame assembly 11. Third air outlet 121 is located on panel 12. Third air outlet 121 is opposite to and connected to air passage 115. Part of the airflow in air outlet duct 10 can flow directly out of air conditioner 100 from first air outlet 113, part of the airflow can flow directly out of air conditioner 100 from second air outlet 114, and part of the airflow can first flow to air passage 115 and then flow out of air conditioner 100 from third air outlet 121.

[0057] It should be noted that the panel 12 has temperature adjustment function, fan speed adjustment function, mode selection function, display function and auxiliary function, which can facilitate users to control and adjust various functions of the air conditioner 100 to meet different comfort and environmental needs.

[0058] Further, see attached document. Figure 4 As shown, the housing 1 also includes a top cover component 13 and a chassis component 14. The rear housing component 15 is located behind the air outlet frame assembly 11. The rear housing component 15 extends in the vertical direction. The lower ends of the rear housing component 15 and the air outlet frame assembly 11 are connected to the chassis component 14. The top cover component 13 is connected to the end of the rear housing component 15 and the air outlet frame component that is away from the chassis component 14, thereby forming an integral structure to protect the internal structure of the air conditioner 100 and prevent the user from contacting the interior and causing injury.

[0059] Furthermore, see the attached document. Figure 4 As shown, the air inlet 151 is located on the rear housing component 15 and along the length of the rear housing component 15 (see attached diagram). Figure 4 Extending in the vertical direction (as shown), an air inlet grille 152 is provided at the air inlet 151. On the one hand, the air inlet grille 152 can prevent hands or other foreign objects from entering the air conditioner 100, protecting the user's safety and ensuring the normal operation of the air conditioner 100; on the other hand, the air inlet grille 152 can prevent insects, rodents, etc. from entering the housing 1 of the air conditioner 100 and causing damage to the air conditioner 100, ensuring the normal operation of the air conditioner 100, and ensuring the aesthetic appearance of the air conditioner 100.

[0060] Optionally, refer to the appendix. Figure 4As shown, the air inlet grille 152 can be arranged opposite to the heat exchanger assembly 4 and the fan assembly 2, so that the fan assembly 2 can drive the airflow outside the air conditioner 100 to enter the air conditioner 100 through the air inlet grille 152, making the airflow smoother, increasing the air intake volume, improving the air intake efficiency of the fan assembly 2, reducing the noise of the air conditioner 100 during operation, and improving the performance and comfort of the air conditioner 100.

[0061] Optionally, the air intake grille 152 is detachably connected to the housing 1. The air intake grille 152 can ensure the aesthetic appearance of the housing 1. After the air intake grille 152 is removed, it is convenient to repair and replace the components inside the air conditioner 100. At the same time, it is convenient to clean the air intake grille 152, avoiding dust accumulation caused by prolonged use.

[0062] In a further embodiment of this utility model, reference is made to the appendix. Figure 4 and attached Figure 7 As shown, the air outlet frame assembly 11 includes a front air outlet frame 111 and a rear air outlet frame 112. The front air outlet frame 111 extends vertically, and a first air outlet 113, a second air outlet 114, and an air vent 115 are all located on the front air outlet frame 111. A panel 12 is located on the front side of the front air outlet frame 111. The rear air outlet frame 112 is located on the rear side of the front air outlet frame 111 and is connected to the rear housing component 15. The rear air outlet frame 112 extends vertically. The air outlet frame 112 and the front air outlet frame 111 together define the air outlet duct 10.
