[0021] The preferred embodiments of the present application will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Those skilled in the art should understand that these embodiments are only used to explain the technical principles of the present application, and are not used to limit the protection scope of the present application. Those skilled in the art can make adjustments according to the needs in order to adapt to specific application occasions.

[0022] It should be noted that in the description of the present application, the terms "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "inner", "outer" and other terms indicating direction or positional relationship are based on the direction or positional relationship shown in the drawings, which is only for the convenience of description, and does not indicate or imply that the related devices or elements must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present application. In addition, the ordinal numbers "first", "second" and the like are only for descriptive purposes, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0023] In addition, it needs to be explained that, in the description of the utility model, unless another explicit provision and limitation, the term "mounting", "connection" should be broad sense, for example, can be fixed connection, also can be detachable connection or integral connection, can be mechanical connection, also can be electrical connection, can be direct connection, also can be indirectly connected through intermediate medium. For the person skilled in the art, the above-mentioned term can be understood according to the specific meaning in the utility model.

[0024] Furthermore, in order to more clearly show the core technical scheme of the utility model, the description below omits the description of the well-known structure of the fan and the evaporator, but this omission is merely for the convenience of description and does not mean that the fan and the evaporator can be without these structures.

[0025] As shown in Figure 1 As shown in Figure 1 is a structure diagram of the air conditioner in the utility model, and the cross section after the air conditioner is cut from the horizontal direction is shown, Figure 2 is a right view after the air conditioner is cut left-right symmetrically along the vertical direction, and the state that the air inlet grille 9 is inclined downward is shown. The air conditioner in the utility model comprises: a shell 1, a first air outlet part 10, an air inlet part 11 and a second air outlet part 12 are sequentially arranged on a side surface of the shell 1, a first air outlet 3 is arranged on the first air outlet part 10, an air inlet 2 is arranged on the air inlet part 11, a second air outlet 4 is arranged on the second air outlet part 12, and the air inlet part 11 protrudes from the first air outlet part 10 and the second air outlet part 12 along the air outlet direction.

[0026] In the embodiment, the air inlet 2 and the air outlet are both arranged on the same side surface of the shell 1, for example, are both arranged on the front side surface of the shell 1, and the front side air inlet and the front side air outlet, so that when the home integration is carried out, only the arrangement position of the side surface needs to be considered, the flexibility and the convenience of air conditioner placement are greatly improved, and the problem that the existing air conditioner is not conducive to home integration is solved. If it is placed in the cabinet, only the side surface needs to be considered not to be blocked, and the cabinet does not need to be opened on different side surfaces, the construction amount of the adaptive modification of the furniture when the air conditioner is placed in cooperation with the furniture is reduced, the overall aesthetics of the home can also be avoided to be damaged, and the air conditioner is easy to clean and maintain in the later period. If it is placed against the wall, the side surface of the air inlet and the air outlet can be avoided to be blocked by the curtain.

[0027] Since the air inlet 2 and the two air outlets are arranged on the same side, the air conditioner can be more flexible in space utilization when placed. In particular, when it is placed in a cabinet, it does not occupy additional floor or wall space, which is particularly important for families with limited space. Embedding the air conditioner in furniture such as cabinets can make it "invisible" to some extent and not directly exposed to the home environment, thereby reducing visual interference. This hidden design makes the air conditioner more harmonious and unified with the home environment.

[0028] In addition to facilitating home integration, the air return problem needs to be considered, i.e. if the air inlet and outlet are located on the same side, the air blown out of the first air outlet 3 or the second air outlet 4 may be sucked into the air inlet 2 in a short time. In order to solve this problem, in the present embodiment, the first air outlet 3 is arranged on the first air outlet portion 10, the air inlet 2 is arranged on the air inlet portion 11, the second air outlet 4 is arranged on the second air outlet portion 12, and the air inlet portion 11 protrudes from the first air outlet portion 10 and the second air outlet portion 12 in the air outlet direction, so that the air inlet 2 protrudes from the first air outlet 3 and the second air outlet 4. This will reduce the amount of air sucked into the first air outlet 3 and the second air outlet 4 by the air inlet 2, so that the air blown out of the first air outlet 3 and the second air outlet 4 can be diffused to the room as much as possible, and the temperature regulation effect can be achieved as soon as possible.

[0029] In addition, since the air inlet 2 is located between the first air outlet 3 and the second air outlet 4, when the air conditioner is working, the first air outlet 3 and the second air outlet 4 blow air outward, while the air inlet 2 sucks in indoor air. Due to the flow of air, a negative pressure zone will be formed between the air inlet 2 and the first air outlet 3, and between the air inlet 2 and the second air outlet 4. Due to the existence of the negative pressure zone, the air blown out of the first air outlet 3 and the second air outlet 4 and the natural wind sucked into the air inlet 2 will meet and mix in the negative pressure zone. After mixing, the mixed air will achieve the effect of uniform air blowing, and the mixed air will be softer. In summer, the air blown out is cold air, and the mixed air will not make people feel too cold and bone-chilling. In winter, the air blown out is hot air, and the mixed air will not make people feel too dry and hot, thereby improving user comfort. At the same time, the existence of the negative pressure zone will also make more air enter the air inlet 2, increase the air inlet amount of the air inlet 2, and thereby accelerate the circulation of indoor air, so that the indoor temperature can be reached faster.

[0030] It should be noted that those skilled in the art can adjust the number of air inlets and air outlets as needed, as long as the air inlets and air outlets are always on the same side, and the air inlets protrude from the air outlets. For example, three air outlets surround one air inlet, or two air inlets are provided, one air outlet is arranged on one side of each air inlet, etc. This does not deviate from the principles of the present application, and therefore falls within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0031] Further, the shell 1 is provided with a cavity, the first air outlet 3, the air inlet 2 and the second air outlet 4 are communicated with the cavity, the air inlet 2, the cavity and the first air outlet 3 form a first channel, and the air inlet 2, the cavity and the second air outlet 4 form a second channel, that is, the first channel and the second channel share the air inlet 2. The air conditioner further comprises: a first fan 5, a first evaporator 6, a second fan 7 and a second evaporator 8, the first fan 5 is arranged in the first channel; the first evaporator 6 is located in the first channel; the second fan 7 is arranged in the second channel; the second evaporator 8 is located in the second channel; the airflow entering from the air inlet 2 enters the first channel and the second channel respectively, and then passes through the first evaporator 6 and the first fan 5 in the first channel and the second evaporator 8 and the second fan 7 in the second channel respectively, and finally flows out from the corresponding first air outlet 3 and second air outlet 4.

[0032] It should be noted that, without departing from the basic principles of the present application, the use mode of the air conditioner can be adjusted by the person skilled in the art according to the needs, the combination of the first channel and the second channel can be used at the same time, or the form of "one standby and one use" can be used, and only the corresponding fan and evaporator need to be adjusted. For example, only the first evaporator 6 and the first fan 5 in the first channel are used, and only the first air outlet 3 is allowed to blow air.

[0033] Further, in the embodiment, in order to evenly distribute the air volume sucked from the air inlet 2 into the first channel and the second channel, the first channel and the second channel are symmetrically arranged in the shell 1 about the air inlet 2, and the first fan 5 and the second fan 7 and the first evaporator 6 and the second evaporator 8 are symmetrically arranged in the shell 1 about the air inlet 2.

[0034] In addition, the first air outlet 3 and the second air outlet 4 can also be symmetrically arranged on both sides of the air inlet 2, at this time, the size of the first air outlet 3 and the second air outlet 4 is the same. The first air outlet 3 and the second air outlet 4 symmetrically arranged on both sides of the air inlet 2 can also take into account the aesthetics of the air conditioner.

[0035] It should be noted that, if it is not necessary to evenly distribute the air volume into the first channel and the second channel, without departing from the basic principles of the present application, the person skilled in the art can adjust the positions of the first channel and the second channel according to the needs, for example, the first channel is closer to the air inlet 2, so as to increase the air inlet volume of the first channel and reduce the air inlet volume of the second channel. The person skilled in the art can also adjust the number of air inlets and air outlets according to the needs, as long as the air inlet 2 and the air outlet are arranged on the same side.

[0036] Furthermore, without departing from the basic principles of this utility model, those skilled in the art can adjust the size of the first air outlet 3 and the second air outlet 4 as needed, for example, make the size of the first air outlet 3 larger than the size of the second air outlet 4 in order to increase the air volume of the first air outlet 3. This does not depart from the principles of this utility model, and therefore all fall within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0037] Furthermore, in this embodiment, to further prevent the air inlet 2 from drawing in air blown out from the first air outlet 3 or the second air outlet 4, the openings of the first air outlet 3 and / or the second air outlet 4 are oriented away from the air inlet 2, so that the direction of the air blown out from the first air outlet 3 and / or the second air outlet 4 forms a certain angle with the direction of the air drawn in from the air inlet 2. In addition, compared to the arrangement where the air outlet faces directly forward, tilting the air outlet towards the side away from the air inlet 2 can also increase the area of ​​the air outlet and widen the air outlet angle.

[0038] Furthermore, in this embodiment, to prevent external impurities from entering the air conditioner and causing it to malfunction, an air intake grille 9 is provided at the air inlet 2. In addition, by changing the angle between the air intake grille 9 and the horizontal plane, the air intake direction when drawing air into the air inlet 2 can be adjusted.

[0039] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the air intake grille 9 forms a certain angle with the horizontal plane, and the air intake grille 9 is tilted upwards to facilitate the air intake 2 drawing in outside air from above; such as Figure 2 As shown, the air intake grille 9 is tilted downwards to allow the air inlet 2 to draw in outside air from below. The first air outlet 3 or the second air outlet 4 blows air out of the housing 1 from the side. The air inlet 2 draws indoor air into the housing 1 from below or above directly in front of the air inlet 2 through the air intake grille 9, preventing air from directly entering the air conditioner in a horizontal direction and further reducing the backflow problem caused by the air inlet and outlet being located on the same side.

[0040] Furthermore, in this embodiment, air outlet 3 and air outlet 4 are provided with air outlet grilles (not shown in the figure). The air outlet grilles can control the air outlet direction. Users can adjust the angle between the air outlet grille and the ground as needed to control the air outlet direction and avoid the air conditioner blowing directly on the body.

[0041] Furthermore, in this embodiment, both the first fan 5 and the second fan 7 are flow fans. In a practical application, since the air conditioner in a home-integrated form is relatively compact, both the first fan 5 and the second fan 7 are selected as flow fans to increase airflow.

[0042] Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the features of the various embodiments can be combined with each other in any combination, within the scope of the application and form different embodiments. For example, in the claims of the application, any of the claimed embodiments can be used in any combination.

[0043] Thus far, the technical solutions of the present application have been described in conjunction with the preferred embodiments shown in the drawings, but those skilled in the art will readily understand that the protection scope of the present application is obviously not limited to these specific embodiments. Those skilled in the art can make equivalent changes or replacements to the relevant technical features without deviating from the principles of the present application, and the technical solutions after these changes or replacements will all fall within the protection scope of the present application.
