[0058] The second mode is that referring to the above-mentioned first mode, the first air guiding assembly makes the air flow from the upper air outlet 21 of the fan flow to the upper air outlet 12 of the casing, and the second air guiding assembly makes the air flow from the lower air outlet 22 of the fan flow to the lower air outlet 13 of the casing. Figure 5

[0059] The third mode is that referring to the above-mentioned first mode, the first air guiding assembly makes the air flow from the upper air outlet 21 of the fan flow to the lower air outlet 13 of the casing, and the second air guiding assembly makes the air flow from the lower air outlet 22 of the fan flow to the lower air outlet 13 of the casing. Figure 6

[0060] It should be noted that, although the first air guiding assembly and the second air guiding assembly are included in the embodiment, the first air guiding assembly is arranged at the upper air outlet 21 of the fan, and the second air guiding assembly is arranged at the lower air outlet 22 of the fan, but this arrangement is not a limitation of the present application, and other arrangements can be adopted by those skilled in the art in other embodiments without departing from the principles of the present application, for example, a third air guiding assembly is arranged at the left air outlet of the fan, and a fourth air guiding assembly is arranged at the right air outlet of the fan, which does not deviate from the basic principles of the present application, and thus falls within the protection scope of the present application.

[0061] Further, the air guiding system further includes casing air guiding plates. A rotatable upper casing air guiding plate is arranged at the upper air outlet 12 of the casing, and a rotatable lower casing air guiding plate (not shown in the figure) is arranged at the lower air outlet 13 of the casing. The casing air guiding plates are rotatable to adjust the direction of the air flow from the air outlets of the casing. The structure of the casing air guiding plates is the same as that of the air guiding plates arranged at the air outlets of the wall-mounted air conditioner indoor unit in the prior art, and thus the specific structure is not described again.

[0062] The technical scheme of the present application has been described in combination with the preferred embodiments shown in the drawings, but those skilled in the art can easily 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 related technical features without departing from the principles of the present application, and the technical schemes after the changes or replacements will fall within the protection scope of the present application.​​​
