Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of air conditioning equipment technology, and in particular to a window air conditioner. Background Technology
[0002] A window air conditioner is a small air conditioner that can be installed in a window. Window air conditioners are relatively inexpensive, and their integrated design makes installation less demanding, giving them an advantage in the air conditioning equipment field.
[0003] Currently, because window air conditioners need to be installed on windows, typically one part is mounted on the windowsill inside the room, while the other part extends outside the window and is installed on the exterior wall. This installation method not only occupies a large area of window space but also requires the window to be opened to connect the air conditioner to both the indoor and outdoor sides, which affects the window's sealing. Especially in winter, to achieve a sealed window and ensure indoor insulation, the entire window air conditioner often needs to be disassembled and then reinstalled on the windowsill in the summer. This frequent installation and disassembly is time-consuming, costly, and difficult to operate, significantly impacting the user experience. Utility Model Content
[0004] This application discloses a window air conditioner that, by setting a detachable air duct component connected to the air conditioner body, can effectively improve the indoor heat preservation effect and enhance the ease of use of the window air conditioner.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, some embodiments of this application provide a window air conditioner, the window air conditioner comprising:
[0006] An air conditioner body, the air conditioner body having a first air inlet and a first air outlet;
[0007] A duct component, which is configured to be detachably connected to the air conditioner body, and when the air conditioner body is installed on the windowsill, the duct component is located on the indoor side of the windowsill;
[0008] The air duct component includes:
[0009] An air outlet duct is provided corresponding to the first air outlet, and the air outlet duct is used to connect the indoor side of the windowsill with the first air outlet;
[0010] An air inlet duct is provided, which is corresponding to the first air inlet, and is used to connect the indoor side of the windowsill with the first air inlet.
[0011] By installing the entire air conditioner unit on the windowsill, with the ductwork located on the indoor side of the windowsill and detachably connected to the air conditioner unit, the window air conditioner can operate normally in summer by connecting the air conditioner unit and the indoor side of the windowsill using the ductwork. In winter, because the ductwork is detachably connected to the air conditioner unit, and the air conditioner unit is located on the outdoor side of the windowsill, the window on the windowsill can be completely closed without disassembling the entire window air conditioner unit. This does not alter the overall structure of the window air conditioner and does not affect its normal operation. In summer, there is no need to reinstall the window air conditioner on the windowsill; simply reinstalling the ductwork unit onto the air conditioner unit achieves indoor insulation and sealing, improves ease of use, and enhances the user experience.
[0012] As can be seen, by setting up a detachable air duct component to connect with the window air conditioner, this application can solve the problems of window space occupation, insufficient sealing and cumbersome disassembly and assembly caused by the window air conditioner's installation method, while maintaining the price advantage and installation convenience of the window air conditioner.
[0013] In some embodiments of this application, the air duct component is detachably connected to the air conditioner body via at least one of a button structure, a snap-fit structure, a magnetic structure, or a threaded structure.
[0014] It is understood that at least one of the button structure, snap-on structure, magnetic structure, and threaded structure can achieve a detachable connection with the air conditioner body, and this application embodiment does not limit this. That is to say, any one or any combination of the above-mentioned detachable connection methods can achieve the installation or removal of the air duct component from the air conditioner body. Thus, in winter, it is not necessary to disassemble the entire air conditioner body; only the air duct component needs to be removed, allowing the windows on the windowsill to be completely closed, achieving the effect of indoor sealing and heat preservation.
[0015] In some embodiments of this application, when the air duct component is detachably connected to the air conditioner body via a snap-fit structure, the air duct component is provided with a first snap-fit portion, the front end surface of the air conditioner body is provided with a protruding frame portion, the frame portion is provided with a second snap-fit portion, and the first snap-fit portion is configured to at least partially extend into the frame portion and engage with the second snap-fit portion, so that the air duct component is detachably connected to the air conditioner body.
[0016] The snap-fit connection allows users to quickly install or remove air duct components, thus meeting their needs for improved indoor insulation and sealing in winter. At the same time, it reduces the damage to the unit or changes in installation location caused by frequent disassembly and reassembly of the air conditioner, thereby effectively improving the user experience of the window air conditioner and extending its service life.
[0017] It is understandable that the first snap-fit part on the air duct component extends at least partially into the frame part. Thus, the connection between the air duct component and the air conditioner body can be detached through the frame part. This design can minimize the impact on the original structure of the air conditioner body, that is, minimize the structural changes to the air conditioner body itself. Only adding a frame part can achieve a detachable connection with the air duct component, thereby avoiding frequent disassembly and installation of structures related to the operation of the air conditioner body, which could damage the body or change the installation position, thus affecting subsequent normal use.
[0018] In some embodiments of this application, the air duct component includes a first side and a second side disposed opposite to each other, the first side being configured to be disposed close to the air conditioner body, and the first snap-fit portion being disposed on the wall surface of the air outlet duct and / or the air inlet duct located on the first side.
[0019] By setting a first latching part on the side of the air duct component close to the air conditioner body, the first latching part can be directly engaged with the second latching part on the air conditioner body, so that users can install or disengage the first latching part and the second latching part by engaging and disengaging the connection, making the installation or disassembly of the air duct component simpler and reducing the waste of time.
[0020] In some embodiments of this application, when the first latching part is disposed on the wall surface of the air outlet duct and / or the air inlet duct is located on the first side, the first latching part includes a plurality of parts, the air outlet duct has an upper wall surface along the first direction, the air inlet duct has a side wall surface along the second direction, a portion of the first latching part is disposed on the upper wall surface, and another portion of the first latching part is disposed on the side wall surface;
[0021] Wherein, the first direction is the height direction of the air duct component, and the second direction intersects with the first direction.
[0022] On the one hand, by setting a portion of the first latching part on the upper wall surface of the air outlet duct along the first direction, this portion of the first latching part can restrict the movement of the duct component in the second direction; on the other hand, by setting another portion of the first latching part on the side wall surface of the air inlet duct along the second direction, this portion of the first latching part can restrict the movement of the duct component in the first direction; thus, the two portions of the first latching part can jointly restrict the movement of the duct component in the first and second directions, thereby effectively improving the installation stability of the duct component on the air conditioner body, thereby achieving stable transmission of airflow to the air conditioner body and achieving efficient control of indoor temperature.
[0023] In some embodiments of this application, the first latching portion includes:
[0024] The fastening portion protrudes from the inner wall surface of the air duct component;
[0025] The extended portion extends from the inner wall of the air duct component towards the outer wall surface of the air duct component, and the extended portion at least partially protrudes from the outer wall surface of the air duct component, so that a hand gripping position is formed between the extended portion and the inner wall surface of the air duct component, which is recessed relative to the inner wall surface of the air duct component.
[0026] By utilizing the direct connection between the first latching part and the inner wall of the duct component, a latching position is formed. This allows the user to easily detach the duct component from the air conditioner body by inserting their finger into the latching position to adjust the connection between the latching part and the locking hole. This disengages the latching part from the locking hole, releasing the engagement between the first latching part of the duct component and the second latching part of the air conditioner body, thus allowing the duct component to be removed. This disassembly method is simple and convenient, eliminating the need for additional structures to release the connection between the first and second latching parts, effectively simplifying both the connection and separation design of the duct structure and the air conditioner body.
[0027] In some embodiments of this application, the air outlet duct is narrowed at one end on the second side and widened at one end on the first side; and / or,
[0028] The air inlet duct is narrowed at one end on the second side and widened at the other end on the first side.
[0029] Therefore, the flared end of the air outlet duct on the first side can introduce as much airflow as possible from the first air outlet into the air outlet duct, thereby increasing the amount of air blown into the room; on the other hand, the constricted end of the air outlet duct on the second side can concentrate the airflow in the air outlet duct, so that the air blown out of the air outlet duct can be blown to a farther area, thereby regulating the temperature in various parts of the room.
[0030] On the one hand, since the air inlet duct is correspondingly set to the first air inlet of the air conditioner body, that is, the end of the air inlet duct on the first side is connected to the first air inlet, the air inlet duct on the first side is widened, so that the air intake of the air inlet duct can enter the first air inlet as much as possible, thereby increasing the air intake of the first air inlet and improving the heat exchange efficiency of the air conditioner body. On the other hand, the air inlet duct on the second side is narrowed, and the air inlet duct on the first side is widened, which can effectively meet the air intake of the air inlet while reducing the air flow resistance, improving the air circulation efficiency, and thus optimizing the air circulation performance.
[0031] In some embodiments of this application,
[0032] The air outlet duct includes:
[0033] First air duct section;
[0034] The second air duct section is connected sequentially to the first air duct section along the direction from the first side to the second side;
[0035] The inclination angle of at least one inner wall surface of the first air duct section towards the third direction is greater than the inclination angle of at least one inner wall surface of the second air duct section towards the third direction, so that the air outlet duct is set at the second side.
[0036] Wherein, the third direction is the direction from the first side to the second side, the tilt angle α of the first air duct section toward the third direction is 35°-55°, and the tilt angle β of the second air duct section toward the third direction is 2°-10°.
[0037] And / or,
[0038] The air inlet duct includes:
[0039] The third air duct section includes a first wall surface and a second wall surface along the height direction of the air duct component;
[0040] The fourth air duct section is sequentially connected to the third air duct section along the direction from the first side to the second side. The fourth air duct section includes a third wall surface and a fourth wall surface along the height direction of the air duct component. The third wall surface is connected to the first wall surface, and the fourth wall surface is connected to the second wall surface. Along the height direction of the air duct component, the fourth wall surface is located below the second wall surface. At least one of the fourth wall surface and the second wall surface is configured as an arc-shaped surface, and the connection between the fourth wall surface and the second wall surface is an arc-shaped transition, so that the air inlet duct is flared on the first side.
[0041] The second air duct section is configured close to the air conditioner body, and the first air duct section is configured close to the indoor side of the window sill. The second air duct section is connected to the first air duct section in sequence, and the inclination angle of at least one inner wall surface of the first air duct section towards a third direction is greater than the inclination angle of at least one inner wall surface of the second air duct section towards a third direction. This allows the airflow of the outlet air duct to pass through the second air duct section and the first air duct section in sequence from the first air outlet, and finally blow into the indoor side. The airflow can blow out from bottom to top. Utilizing the physical property of cold air naturally sinking, it can form a top-down airflow circulation in the room, thereby enabling the indoor temperature to be distributed more evenly more quickly, thus achieving rapid cooling of the room.
[0042] When the tilt angle of the first air duct section towards the third direction is less than 35°, the airflow from the outlet air duct cannot be effectively blown from bottom to top, causing the indoor air to accumulate in the lower part of the room, making it difficult to achieve rapid and uniform distribution of indoor temperature. When the tilt angle of the first air duct section towards the third direction is greater than 55°, the air outlet of the outlet air duct is too high, and the airflow cannot blow further into the room, but only blows upwards, which also makes it difficult to achieve rapid and uniform distribution of indoor temperature.
[0043] When the tilt angle of the second air duct section towards the third direction is less than 2°, the guiding effect of the second air duct section on the airflow is small, and the air resistance of the airflow is large; when the tilt angle of the second air duct section towards the third direction is greater than 10°, the airflow blown out from the first air outlet is subject to greater resistance from the second air duct section, making it difficult to blow out cold air effectively.
[0044] In addition, since the connection between the fourth wall and the second wall is an arc transition, and at least one of the fourth wall and the second wall is an arc surface, the air intake duct can form a streamlined air duct. The airflow entering the air intake duct can effectively improve the airflow efficiency and reduce the airflow resistance, thereby optimizing the airflow in the air intake duct.
[0045] In some embodiments of this application, the side of the air duct component facing the indoor side includes an air outlet surface and an air inlet surface connected to the air outlet surface. The air outlet surface and the air inlet surface are set at an angle, and the air outlet surface is inclined towards the air inlet surface, and the air inlet surface is inclined towards the air outlet surface. The included angle θ between the air outlet surface and the air inlet surface is 90°-160°.
[0046] This design ensures that the dimension of the duct component on the side facing the room is smaller than the dimension of the side connecting the duct component to the air conditioner body, effectively reducing the space occupied by the duct component. Simultaneously, because the air outlet and air inlet surfaces are angled, and the air outlet surface is tilted towards the air inlet surface, the air outlet surface can be positioned as high as possible towards the room, allowing cool air to be blown upwards, thus improving indoor air circulation efficiency. Furthermore, the air inlet surface is tilted towards the air outlet surface, forming a sharp angle with the air outlet surface, causing air to enter and exit in opposite directions. This reduces the problem of airflow crossing during intake and exhaust, and also increases the air outlet and intake areas, effectively improving indoor airflow circulation efficiency.
[0047] When the angle θ between the air outlet and the air inlet is less than 90°, the excessive tilt angle between the air outlet and the air inlet will greatly reduce the length of the air duct and make it difficult to achieve efficient air circulation. When the angle θ between the air outlet and the air inlet is greater than 160°, since the air outlet and the air inlet are located on the side of the air duct facing the room, the size of the side of the air duct facing the room is relatively large. In addition, the air outlet on the air outlet and the air inlet on the air inlet face are basically aligned, which can easily cause the problem of air leakage between the air outlet and the air inlet.
[0048] In some embodiments of this application, the air duct component includes:
[0049] The housing is configured to be detachably connected to the air conditioner body. The housing has a positioning protrusion on its upper surface along the height direction. The positioning protrusion is located at the edge of the upper surface of the housing and is configured to position the window frame of the window sill on the housing.
[0050] The air duct body is disposed in the outer shell, and the air duct body includes the air outlet duct and the air inlet duct.
[0051] By installing the air duct component on the air conditioner body, and by setting a stepped structure on the upper surface of the casing to form a positioning protrusion, and aligning the window frame on the windowsill with the position of the positioning protrusion, the user can achieve the installation and alignment of the air duct component according to the positioning protrusion, thus making the installation of the air duct component simpler.
[0052] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this application are at least as follows:
[0053] This application provides a window air conditioner, which includes an air conditioner body and an air duct component. The air conditioner body has a first air inlet and a first air outlet. The air duct component is configured to be detachably connected to the air conditioner body. When the air conditioner body is installed on a windowsill, the air duct component is located on the indoor side of the windowsill. The air duct component includes an air outlet duct and an air inlet duct. The air outlet duct is correspondingly arranged with the first air outlet to connect the indoor side to the first air outlet, and the air inlet duct is correspondingly arranged with the first air inlet to connect the indoor side to the first air inlet. Because the air duct component is detachably connected to the air conditioner body, and the air conditioner body is located on the outdoor side of the windowsill, the user can close the window on the windowsill simply by removing the air duct component, thereby improving the indoor heat insulation effect. This also avoids disassembling or reinstalling the entire air conditioner body after disassembly, which improves the ease of use of the window air conditioner. Attached Figure Description

[0083] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0084] In this application, the terms "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "top," "bottom," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. These terms are primarily for the purpose of better describing this application and its embodiments, and are not intended to limit the indicated device, element, or component to having a specific orientation, or to be constructed and operated in a specific orientation.
[0085] Furthermore, in addition to indicating location or positional relationship, some of the aforementioned terms may also have other meanings. For example, the term "above" may also be used in some cases to indicate a certain dependency or connection relationship. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of these terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.
[0086] Furthermore, the terms "installation," "setup," "equipped with," and "connection" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral structure; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, or an internal connection between two devices, components, or parts. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of these terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.
[0087] Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," etc., are primarily used to distinguish different devices, elements, or components (which may be the same or different in specific type and construction), and are not intended to indicate or imply the relative importance or quantity of the indicated devices, elements, or components. Unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.
[0088] Window air conditioners, as an air conditioning solution specifically designed for small spaces, cleverly utilize windows, a common element in home structures, achieving a seamless integration of convenient installation and functionality. Their price is more affordable compared to other large air conditioning units, and their compact, integrated design significantly reduces the technical barriers and complexity of installation, thus securing a place in the air conditioning market, especially favored by users with limited budgets or cramped spaces.
[0089] However, window air conditioners are typically installed with part of the unit embedded inside the window and the other part extending outside and fixed to the exterior wall. While this installation method seems ingenious, it reveals some limitations in practical application. First, this installation method inevitably occupies valuable window space, which is undoubtedly a compromise in space utilization for living environments where lighting or views are already limited. More importantly, to ensure the effective operation of the window air conditioner, the indoor and outdoor parts must be connected, which often means sacrificing the original sealing performance of the window. In the hot summer, this may not be a major problem, but in the cold winter, the lack of sealing of the window, as an important barrier for indoor insulation, will directly lead to heat loss, increase heating costs, and reduce living comfort.
[0090] To address these issues, users typically disassemble the entire window air conditioner before winter, store it properly, and then reinstall it in the summer. This periodic disassembly and reassembly process is not only time-consuming and laborious, but also a significant test of the user's DIY skills. Furthermore, frequent disassembly and reassembly can cause damage to the unit or changes in installation location, further impacting ease of use and stability. In the long run, this usage pattern undoubtedly reduces the overall cost-effectiveness of window air conditioners and limits their application potential in a wider range of scenarios.
[0091] In view of this, this application provides a window air conditioner, which can effectively improve the indoor heat preservation effect and the ease of use of the window air conditioner by setting a detachable air duct component connected to the window air conditioner.
[0092] The present technical solution will be further described below with reference to the embodiments and accompanying drawings.
[0093] Please refer to the following: Figures 1 to 5 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the window air conditioner disclosed in the embodiments of this application. Figure 2 This is a top view of the window air conditioner disclosed in the embodiments of this application. Figure 3 This is a side view of a window air conditioner installed on a windowsill, as disclosed in an embodiment of this application. Figure 4 This is an exploded view of the structure of the window air conditioner disclosed in the embodiments of this application. Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the air conditioner body disclosed in an embodiment of this application. This application discloses a window air conditioner 200, which includes an air conditioner body 210 and an air duct component 100. The air duct component 100 is configured to be detachably connected to the air conditioner body 210.
[0094] By installing the entire air conditioner unit 210 on the windowsill 300, and setting the air duct component 100 on the indoor side 310 of the windowsill 300, the air duct component 100 can be detachably connected to the air conditioner unit 210. In summer, the air duct component 100 can connect the air conditioner unit 210 and the indoor side 310 of the windowsill 300, so that the window air conditioner 200 can be used normally. In winter, by removing the detachable duct component 100, the window on the windowsill 300 can be completely closed without disassembling the entire window air conditioner 200. This does not alter the overall structure of the window air conditioner 200, thus not affecting its normal operation. In summer, there is no need to reinstall the window air conditioner 200 on the windowsill 300. Simply reinstall the duct component 100 onto the air conditioner body 210 to achieve indoor insulation and sealing, improve the ease of use of the window air conditioner 200, and further enhance the user experience.
[0095] As can be seen, by setting a detachable air duct component 100 to connect with the window air conditioner 200, this application can solve the problems of window space occupation, insufficient sealing and cumbersome disassembly and assembly caused by the installation method of the window air conditioner 200 while maintaining the price advantage and installation convenience of the window air conditioner 200.
[0096] In some embodiments, when the air duct component 100 is detachably installed on the air conditioning body 210, it is mainly detachably connected to the front end of the indoor side 310 of the air conditioning body 210 facing the window sill 300.
[0097] Specifically, in order to minimize changes to the structure of the air conditioner body 210, a frame portion 214 can be provided at the front end of the air conditioner body 210, so that when the air duct component 100 is connected to the air conditioner body 210, it can at least partially extend into the frame portion 214 and be detachably connected to the frame portion 214.
[0098] In this way, by utilizing the protruding frame portion 214 on the front surface 215 of the air conditioner body 210, a structure for detachable connection with the air duct component 100 can be provided on the frame portion 214, without having to be directly provided on the air conditioner body 210. This arrangement minimizes the impact on the original structure of the air conditioner body 210; simply adding a frame portion 214 enables detachable connection with the air duct component 100, thus avoiding frequent disassembly and installation of structures related to the operation of the air conditioner body 210, which could damage the unit or change the installation position, thereby affecting subsequent normal use.
[0099] It is understood that the frame portion 214 may include a sheet metal hollow frame extending from the housing of the air conditioner body 210, and the frame portion 214 does not affect the setting of the first air inlet 212 and the first air outlet 211 on the air conditioner body. The front surface 215 of the air conditioner body 210 refers to the side surface of the air conditioner body 210 located on the indoor side 310 near the windowsill 300, and this front surface 215 is used to achieve air intake, air outlet, and detachable connection with the air duct component 100.
[0100] In some embodiments, the air duct component 100 can be detachably connected to the air conditioner body 210 via at least one of a button structure, a snap-fit structure, a magnetic structure, or a threaded structure.
[0101] It is understood that at least one of the button structure, snap-on structure, magnetic structure, and threaded structure can achieve a detachable connection with the air conditioner body 210, and this application embodiment does not limit this. That is to say, any one or any combination of the above-mentioned detachable connection methods can achieve the installation or removal of the air duct component 100 from the air conditioner body 210. Thus, in winter, it is not necessary to disassemble the entire air conditioner body 210; only the air duct component 100 needs to be removed, allowing the window on the windowsill 300 to be completely closed, achieving the effect of indoor sealing and heat preservation.
[0102] To facilitate understanding of the specific structure of the air duct component 100, the specific structure of the air duct component 100 will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0103] Please refer to the following: Figures 6 to 8 ,in, Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the air duct component disclosed in an embodiment of this application from one perspective. Figure 7 This is a schematic diagram of the air duct component disclosed in an embodiment of this application from another perspective. Figure 8 This is a structural schematic diagram of the air duct component disclosed in the embodiments of this application from another perspective.
[0104] It is understood that the air conditioner body 210 has a first air inlet 212 and a first air outlet 211, and the air duct component 100 is configured to be detachably connected to the air conditioner body 210. When the air conditioner body 210 is installed on the windowsill 300, the air duct component 100 is located on the indoor side 310 of the windowsill 300. By installing the entire air conditioner body 210 on the windowsill 300, and placing the air duct component 100 on the indoor side 310 of the windowsill 300, the air duct component 100 is detachably connected to the air conditioner body 210.
[0105] Therefore, in summer, the duct component 100 connects the air conditioner body 210 and the indoor side 310 of the window sill 300, enabling the normal operation of the window air conditioner 200. In winter, since the duct component 100 is detachably connected to the air conditioner body 210, and the air conditioner body 210 is located on the outdoor side 320 of the window sill 300, the window on the window sill 300 can be completely closed by removing the detachable duct component 100 without disassembling the entire window air conditioner 200. This does not alter the overall structure of the window air conditioner 200, thus not affecting its normal operation. In summer, there is no need to reinstall the window air conditioner 200 on the window sill 300; only the duct component 100 needs to be installed on the air conditioner body 210. This achieves indoor insulation and sealing, improves the ease of use of the window air conditioner 200, and further enhances the user experience. Therefore, by setting up a detachable air duct component 100 to connect with the window air conditioner 200, it is possible to maintain the price advantage and installation convenience of the window air conditioner 200 while solving the problems of window space occupation, insufficient sealing and complicated disassembly and assembly caused by its installation method.
[0106] In some embodiments, the air duct 100 includes an air outlet duct 11, which is correspondingly arranged with the first air outlet 211. The air outlet duct 11 is used to connect the indoor side 310 of the windowsill 300 with the first air outlet 211, so that the airflow blown out of the first air outlet 211 of the air conditioner body 210 can be blown to the indoor side 310 through the air outlet duct 11, thereby realizing the regulation of indoor temperature.
[0107] Optionally, the air duct 100 includes an air inlet duct 12, which is correspondingly arranged with the first air inlet 212. The air inlet duct 12 is used to connect the indoor side 310 of the windowsill 300 with the first air inlet 212, so that the first air inlet 212 can draw in air from the indoor side 310, realize the circulation of indoor and outdoor air, and regulate the indoor temperature.
[0108] In some embodiments, as described above, the air duct component 100 can be detachably connected to the air conditioner body 210 via at least one of a button structure, a snap-fit structure, a magnetic structure, or a threaded structure. That is, the air duct component 100 can be detachably connected to the air conditioner body 210 via at least one of a button structure, a snap-fit structure, a magnetic structure, or a threaded structure.
[0109] It is understood that at least one of the button structure, snap-on structure, magnetic structure, and threaded structure can achieve a detachable connection with the air conditioner body 210, and this application embodiment does not limit this. That is to say, any one or any combination of the above-mentioned detachable connection methods can achieve the installation or removal of the air duct component 100 from the air conditioner body 210. Thus, in winter, it is not necessary to disassemble the entire air conditioner body 210; only the air duct component 100 needs to be removed, allowing the window on the windowsill 300 to be completely closed, achieving the effect of indoor sealing and heat preservation.
[0110] The following will describe in detail how the air duct component 100 is detachably connected to the air conditioning body 210 via a snap-fit structure.
[0111] Please refer to the following: Figures 9 to 10 ,in, Figure 9 This is a side view of the air duct component disclosed in the embodiments of this application. Figure 10 for Figure 9 A cross-sectional view at point AA. In some embodiments, the duct component 100 is provided with a first latching part 13, and the air conditioner body 210 is provided with a second latching part 213. The first latching part 13 is configured to engage with the second latching part 213, so that the duct component 100 is detachably connected to the air conditioner body 210. This latching connection method facilitates quick installation or removal of the duct component 100 by the user, thereby meeting the user's needs for improved indoor insulation and sealing in winter. Simultaneously, it reduces the damage to the unit or changes in installation position caused by frequent disassembly and reassembly of the air conditioner body 210, effectively improving the user experience of the window air conditioner 200 and extending the service life of the window air conditioner 200.
[0112] It is understood that in other embodiments, a first latching part 13 may be provided on the air conditioner body 210 and a second latching part 213 may be provided on the air duct component 100. This application embodiment does not limit this.
[0113] Please refer to the above. Figure 5 As described above, the front surface 215 of the air conditioner body 210 has a protruding frame portion 214, and the air duct component 100 extends at least partially into the frame portion 214 and is detachably connected to the frame portion 214. It is understood that the first latch portion 13 on the air duct component 100 extends at least partially into the frame portion 214. Therefore, the connection between the air duct component 100 and the air conditioner body 210 can be detachably achieved through the frame portion 214. This arrangement minimizes the impact on the original structure of the air conditioner body 210; simply adding a frame portion 214 achieves a detachable connection with the air duct component 100. This avoids frequent disassembly and installation of structures related to the operation of the air conditioner body 210, preventing damage to the unit or changes in installation position, thus affecting subsequent normal use.
[0114] It is understood that the frame portion 214 may include sheet metal parts extending from the housing of the air conditioner body 210. The front surface 215 of the air conditioner body 210 refers to the side surface of the air conditioner body 210 located near the indoor side 310 of the window sill 300, and this front surface 215 is used to achieve air intake, air exhaust and detachable connection with the air duct component 100.
[0115] Of course, as another embodiment, the second latching part 213 can also be directly provided on the air conditioner body 210, and this application does not specifically limit it in this way.
[0116] Optionally, when the air duct component 100 includes a first latching part 13, a second latching part 213 is provided on the frame part 214, and the first latching part 13 and the second latching part 213 are engaged and connected. Specifically, when the duct component 100 is provided with a first latching part 13, the frame part 214 is provided with a second latching part 213. The second latching part 213 on the frame part 214 is used to engage with the first latching part 13 to achieve the engagement connection between the duct component 100 and the air conditioner body 210. Thus, when the air conditioner body 210 is installed on the outdoor side 320 of the windowsill 300, it can also be connected to the indoor side 310 of the windowsill 300 through the duct component 100, thereby enabling the normal use of the window air conditioner 200. When it is necessary to close the window to achieve heat preservation and sealing of the room, the user can remove the engagement connection between the first latching part 13 and the second latching part 213 to disassemble the duct component 100, thereby completely closing the window and effectively ensuring the sealing and heat preservation of the window. At the same time, since it is not necessary to disassemble the entire window air conditioner 200, the convenience and stability of the window air conditioner 200 can also be effectively improved.
[0117] It is understandable that one of the first latching part 13 and the second latching part 213 can be a protrusion, and the other can be a latching hole.
[0118] For example, the second snap-fit part 213 can be a snap-fit hole 2141, so that the snap-fit hole 2141 can be directly opened on the frame part 214, while the first snap-fit part 13 can be a protrusion. By setting a protrusion on the air duct part 100, the protrusion can be aligned with the snap-fit hole 2141 during installation and the protrusion can be snapped into the snap-fit hole 2141.
[0119] Please refer to the following: Figures 6 to 9In some embodiments, the air duct component 100 includes a first side 1a and a second side 1b disposed opposite to each other. The first side 1a is configured to be close to the air conditioner body 210, and a first latching part 13 is disposed on the wall surface of the air outlet duct 11 and / or the air inlet duct 12 located on the first side 1a. By providing the first latching part 13 on the side of the air duct component 100 close to the air conditioner body 210, the first latching part 13 can be directly engaged with the second latching part 213 on the air conditioner body 210, so that the user can install or disengage the first latching part 13 and the second latching part 213 by means of the engagement and disengagement, making the installation or disassembly of the air duct component 100 simpler and reducing the waste of time.
[0120] In some embodiments, when the first latching portion 13 is disposed on the wall surface of the air outlet duct 11 and / or the air inlet duct 12 located on the first side 1a, the first latching portion 13 includes multiple portions. The air outlet duct 11 has an upper wall surface 11a along the first direction F1, and the air inlet duct 12 has a side wall surface 12a along the second direction F2. Some of the first latching portions 13 are disposed on the upper wall surface 11a, and other portions of the first latching portions 13 are disposed on the side wall surface 12a. Wherein, the first direction F1 is the height direction of the duct component 100, and the second direction F2 intersects with the first direction F1.
[0121] On the one hand, by setting a portion of the first latching part 13 on the upper wall surface 11a of the air outlet duct 11 along the first direction F1, this portion of the first latching part 13 can restrict the movement of the duct component 100 in the second direction F2; on the other hand, by setting another portion of the first latching part 13 on the side wall surface 12a of the air inlet duct 12 along the second direction F2, this portion of the first latching part 13 can restrict the movement of the duct component 100 in the first direction F1; thus, the two portions of the first latching part 13 can jointly restrict the movement of the duct component 100 in the first direction F1 and the second direction F2, thereby effectively improving the installation stability of the duct component 100 on the air conditioner body 210, thereby achieving stable transmission of airflow to the air conditioner body 210 and achieving efficient control of indoor temperature.
[0122] It is understandable that the first direction F1 is the height direction of the air duct component 100, and the second direction F2 intersects with the first direction F1. At this time, the second direction F2 can be either the depth direction or the width direction of the air duct component 100. Since the first latching part 13 is located on the wall surface of the air outlet duct 11 and / or the air inlet duct 12 on the first side 1a, that is, the direction from the first side 1a to the second side 1b is the depth direction of the air duct component 100, it can be known that the second direction F2 is the width direction of the air duct component 100.
[0123] Please see Figure 10In some embodiments, the first latching part 13 includes a latching part 131, which protrudes from the inner wall surface 14 of the air duct component 100. The latching part 131 is used to correspond to the latching hole 2141 on the air conditioner body 210, thereby realizing the latching connection between the air conditioner body 210 and the air duct component 100.
[0124] The fastening portion 131 may include, but is not limited to, protrusions, ribs, hooks, etc., and the embodiments of this application do not limit this.
[0125] In some embodiments, the first latching portion 13 includes an extension portion 132 that extends from the inner wall surface 14 of the air duct component 100 to the outer wall surface 15 of the air duct component 100. The extension portion 132 at least partially protrudes from the outer wall surface 15 of the air duct component 100, so that a latching position 1321 that is recessed relative to the inner wall surface 14 of the air duct component 100 is formed between the extension portion 132 and the inner wall surface 14 of the air duct component 100.
[0126] By utilizing the direct connection between the first latching part 13 and the inner wall surface 14 of the air duct component 100 to form a latching position 1321, when it is necessary to remove the air duct component 100 from the air conditioner body 210, the user can adjust the connection position between the latching part 131 and the latching hole 2141 by inserting a finger or other tool (such as a screwdriver or other object with a certain degree of hardness) into the latching position 1321. This allows the latching part 131 to disengage from the latching hole 2141, thereby releasing the latching connection between the first latching part 13 of the air duct component 100 and the second latching part 213 of the air conditioner body 210, and thus removing the air duct component 100 from the air conditioner body 210. This disassembly method is simple and convenient, requiring no additional structure to release the connection between the first latching part 13 and the second latching part 213, effectively simplifying the connection and separation structure design of the air duct component 100 and the air conditioner body 210.
[0127] Optionally, the handle 1321 is disposed on the side wall surface 12a of the air inlet duct 12 along the second direction F2. For example, the handle 1321 can be disposed on two side wall surfaces 12a of the air inlet duct 12 along the second direction F2, so that the user can hold the handle 1321 located on both sides of the air duct component 100 with both hands, thereby realizing the user's installation and disassembly of the air duct component 100. This facilitates user operation and also provides the function of aligning and installing the air duct component 100.
[0128] Optionally, the handle 1321 is disposed on the side wall 12a at a lower position along the height direction of the air duct component 100. The lower position of the handle 1321 conforms to the user's grip logic, making it easier for the user to grip the air duct component 100 and achieve proper installation.
[0129] The specific structures of the air outlet duct 11 and the air inlet duct 12 will be described in detail below.
[0130] Please refer to the following: Figures 11 to 12 ,in, Figure 11 This is a top view of the air duct component disclosed in the embodiments of this application. Figure 12 for Figure 11 Sectional view at point BB. Figure 13 for Figure 12 A partial enlarged view at point C. In some embodiments, the air outlet duct 11 is narrowed at one end on the second side 1b and widened at one end on the first side 1a. Wherein, the first side 1a of the duct component 100 is configured to be close to the air conditioner body 210, then the second side 1b of the duct component 100 can be the side located near the indoor side 310 of the windowsill 300. On the one hand, since the air outlet duct 11 is correspondingly set to the first air outlet 211 of the air conditioner body 210, that is, the end of the air outlet duct 11 located on the first side 1a is connected to the first air outlet 211, the air outlet duct 11 is widened at the end of the first side 1a, which can introduce as much airflow as possible from the first air outlet 211 into the air outlet duct 11, thereby increasing the amount of air blown into the room; on the other hand, the air outlet duct 11 is narrowed at the end of the second side 1b, which can concentrate the airflow in the air outlet duct 11, so that the air blown out by the air outlet duct 11 can reach a farther area, thereby regulating the temperature in various parts of the room.
[0131] In some embodiments, the air inlet duct 12 is constricted at one end on the second side 1b and flared at the other end on the first side 1a. On one hand, since the air inlet duct 12 is correspondingly connected to the first air inlet 212 of the air conditioning body 210 (i.e., the end of the air inlet duct 12 on the first side 1a is connected to the first air inlet 212), the flared end of the air inlet duct 12 allows for a greater volume of air entering the first air inlet 212, thereby increasing the air volume entering the first air inlet 212 and improving the heat exchange efficiency of the air conditioning body 210. On the other hand, the constricted end of the air inlet duct 12 on the second side 1b and the flared end on the first side 1a effectively meets the air volume requirement of the first air inlet 212 while reducing airflow resistance and improving airflow efficiency, thus optimizing airflow performance.
[0132] It is understandable that the above-mentioned narrowing refers to the reduction in the opening width of the air outlet duct 11 and the air inlet duct 12, while the above-mentioned widening refers to the increase in the opening width of the air outlet duct 11 and the air inlet duct 12.
[0133] In some embodiments, the air outlet duct 11 includes a first air outlet section 111 and a second air outlet section 112, wherein the second air outlet section 112 and the first air outlet section 111 are connected sequentially along the direction from the first side 1a to the second side 1b to form the air outlet duct 11.
[0134] Please see Figure 13 Optionally, the inclination angle α of at least one inner wall surface 14 of the first air duct section 111 towards the third direction F3 is greater than the inclination angle β of at least one inner wall surface 14 of the second air duct section 112 towards the third direction F3, so that the air outlet duct 11 is closed on the second side 1b. Wherein, the third direction F3 is the direction from the first side 1a to the second side 1b.
[0135] The second air duct section 112 is configured close to the air conditioner body 210, and the first air duct section 111 is configured close to the indoor side 310 of the window sill 300. The second air duct section 112 and the first air duct section 111 are connected in sequence, and the inclination angle of at least one inner wall surface 14 of the first air duct section 111 towards the third direction F3 is greater than the inclination angle of at least one inner wall surface 14 of the second air duct section 112 towards the third direction F3. This allows the airflow of the air outlet duct 11 to pass from the first air outlet 211 through the second air duct section 112 and the first air duct section 111 in sequence, and finally blow into the indoor side 310. The airflow can blow out from bottom to top. By utilizing the physical property of cold air naturally sinking, an airflow circulation from top to bottom can be formed in the room, so that the indoor temperature can be more evenly distributed more quickly, thereby achieving rapid cooling of the room.
[0136] Specifically, at least one inner wall surface 14 of the first air duct section 111 can be the bottom wall surface of the first air duct section 111 along the first direction F1, or the top wall surface of the first air duct section 111 along the first direction F1. Of course, as other examples, it can also be the top and bottom wall surfaces of the first air duct section 111 along the first direction F1. This application embodiment does not limit this.
[0137] In some embodiments, the tilt angle α of the first air duct section 111 toward the third party F3 is 35°-55°. For example, the tilt angle α of the first air duct section 111 toward the third party F3 may include, but is not limited to, 35°-40°, 40°-45°, 45°-50°, 50°-55°, etc. For example, the tilt angle α of the first air duct section 111 toward the third party F3 may include, but is not limited to, 35°, 36°, 37°, 38°, 39°, 40°, 41°, 42°, 43°, 44°, 45°, 46°, 47°, 48°, 49°, 50°, 51°, 52°, 53°, 54°, 55°, etc. The embodiments of this application do not specifically limit this.
[0138] This configuration allows the airflow of the ventilation duct 11 to blow upwards. By utilizing the physical property of cold air naturally sinking, a downward airflow circulation can be formed in the room, thereby enabling the room temperature to be distributed more evenly and thus achieving rapid cooling.
[0139] When the tilt angle of the first air duct section 111 towards the third direction F3 is less than 35°, the airflow from the outlet air duct 11 cannot be effectively blown from bottom to top, causing the indoor air to accumulate in the lower part of the room, making it difficult to achieve a rapid and uniform distribution of indoor temperature. When the tilt angle of the first air duct section 111 towards the third direction F3 is greater than 55°, the air outlet 113 of the outlet air duct 11 is oriented too high, making it difficult for the airflow to blow further into the room, but only blowing upwards, which also makes it difficult to achieve a rapid and uniform distribution of indoor temperature.
[0140] In some embodiments, the tilt angle β of the second air duct section 112 toward the third party F3 is 2°-10°. For example, the tilt angle β of the second air duct section 112 toward the third party F3 includes, but is not limited to, 2°-4°, 4°-6°, 6°-8°, 8°-10°, etc. Exemplarily, the tilt angle β of the second air duct section 112 toward the third party F3 includes, but is not limited to, 2°, 2.5°, 3°, 3.5°, 4°, 4.5°, 5°, 5.5°, 6°, 6.5°, 7°, 7.5°, 8°, 8.5°, 9°, 9.5°, 10°, etc.
[0141] This configuration allows the second air duct section 112 to guide the airflow from the first air outlet 211 at a small angle, and works in conjunction with the first air duct section 111 to form a streamlined air outlet duct 11, thereby effectively reducing air resistance and improving airflow circulation efficiency.
[0142] When the tilt angle of the second air duct section 112 toward the third direction F3 is less than 2°, the guiding effect of the second air duct section 112 on the airflow is small, and the air resistance of the airflow is large; when the tilt angle of the second air duct section 112 toward the third direction F3 is greater than 10°, the airflow blown out from the first air outlet 211 is subject to greater resistance from the second air duct section 112, and it is difficult to blow out cold air well.
[0143] Please see Figure 12 In some embodiments, the air inlet duct 12 includes a third duct section 121, which includes a first wall surface 1211 and a second wall surface 1212 along the height direction of the duct component 100, to connect to the first air inlet 212 of the air conditioning body 210. The height direction of the duct component 100 is the aforementioned first direction F1.
[0144] In some embodiments, the air inlet duct 12 further includes a fourth duct section 122, which is sequentially connected to the third duct section 121 along the direction from the first side 1a to the second side 1b. The fourth duct section 122 includes a third wall surface 1221 and a fourth wall surface 1222 along the height direction of the duct component 100. The third wall surface 1221 is connected to the first wall surface 1211, and the fourth wall surface 1222 is connected to the second wall surface 1212. At least one of the fourth wall surface 1222 and the second wall surface 1212 is configured as an arc-shaped surface, and the connection between the fourth wall surface 1222 and the second wall surface 1212 is an arc-shaped transition. Since the connection between the fourth wall surface 1222 and the second wall surface 1212 is an arc transition, and at least one of the fourth wall surface 1222 and the second wall surface 1212 is an arc surface, the air inlet duct 12 can form a streamlined air duct. The airflow entering the air inlet duct 12 can effectively improve the airflow efficiency and reduce the airflow resistance, thereby optimizing the airflow in the air inlet duct 12.
[0145] Along the height of the air duct component 100, the fourth wall surface 1222 is located below the second wall surface 1212, so that the air inlet duct 12 is flared on the first side 1a. Since the fourth wall surface 1222 is located below the third wall surface 1221, that is, along the height of the air duct component 100, the entire third air duct section 121 is located above the fourth air duct section 122, and the airflow direction of the air inlet duct 12 is sequentially the third air duct section 121, the fourth air duct section 122, and finally enters the first air inlet 212, therefore, based on Bernoulli's principle, after the airflow enters the third air duct section 121, it forms a certain drop with the fourth air duct section 122, thereby increasing the power of airflow, optimizing the airflow efficiency, improving the return air effect of the first air inlet 212, and thus achieving efficient operation of the air conditioning body 210.
[0146] In some embodiments, the air inlet 125 of the third air duct section 121 is provided with a return air component 123. The return air component 123 can effectively prevent external debris and water droplets from entering the air inlet duct 12, thereby effectively protecting the air conditioner body 210 from damage and ensuring the stable operation of the window air conditioner 200. In addition, it can also enhance the aesthetics of the air duct component 100.
[0147] It is understood that the return air component 123 may include, but is not limited to, return air mask, return air mesh, etc., and the embodiments of this application do not limit it.
[0148] Optionally, the return air component 123 is also equipped with a filter 124. Since the third air duct section 121 is part of the air inlet duct 12, it is necessary to draw in outside air to achieve air circulation. Therefore, the filter 124 on the air inlet 125 of the third air duct section 121 can effectively filter dust and other impurities in the air, ensuring that the air entering the air conditioner body 210 is cleaner, thereby effectively extending the service life of the air conditioner body 210 and improving the airflow circulation efficiency.
[0149] Specifically, the filter element 124 may include, but is not limited to, a filter screen, a filter membrane, a filter cover, etc., and the embodiments of this application do not limit this.
[0150] Please refer to the following: Figures 9 to 13 In some embodiments, the side of the duct component 100 facing the indoor side 310 includes an air outlet surface 11b and an air inlet surface 12b connected to the air outlet surface 11b. The air outlet surface 11b and the air inlet surface 12b are arranged at an angle, with the air outlet surface 11b inclined towards the air inlet surface 12b and the air inlet surface 12b inclined towards the air outlet surface 11b, so that the duct component 100 forms a pointed side on the side facing the indoor side. The side of the duct component 100 facing the indoor side is the aforementioned second side 1b of the duct component 100. With this arrangement, the size of the duct component 100 on the side facing the indoor side is smaller than the size of the side of the duct component 100 connected to the air conditioning body 210, thereby effectively reducing the space occupied by the duct component 100. Meanwhile, since the air outlet surface 11b and the air inlet surface 12b are set at an angle, and the air outlet surface 11b is tilted towards the air inlet surface 12b, the air outlet surface 11b can be positioned as high as possible towards the interior side 310, allowing the cold air to be blown upwards as much as possible, which is beneficial to improving the air circulation efficiency of the interior side 310. In addition, the air inlet surface 12b is tilted towards the air outlet surface 11b, and the air inlet surface 12b and the air outlet surface 11b form a sharp angle shape, so that the air inlet surface 12b and the air outlet surface 11b enter and exit in opposite directions, thereby reducing the problem of airflow crossing during entry and exit, and helping to increase the air outlet area and air inlet area, effectively improving the airflow circulation efficiency of the room.
[0151] Optionally, the included angle θ between the air outlet surface 11b and the air inlet surface 12b is 90°-160°. For example, the included angle θ between the air outlet surface 11b and the air inlet surface 12b includes, but is not limited to, 90°-100°, 100°-110°, 110°-120°, 120°-130°, 130°-140°, 140°-150°, 150°-160°, etc. Exemplarily, the included angle θ between the air outlet surface 11b and the air inlet surface 12b includes, but is not limited to, 90°, 95°, 100°, 105°, 110°, 115°, 120°, 125°, 130°, 135°, 140°, 145°, 150°, 155°, 160°, etc., and the embodiments of this application do not limit this.
[0152] This configuration allows the side of the duct 100 facing the indoor side 310 to maintain a small size, while also ensuring that the air inlet surface 12b and the air outlet surface 11b face away from each other as much as possible, thereby avoiding the problem of air leakage during air intake and exhaust. This not only minimizes the space occupied by the indoor side 310, but also effectively improves the airflow circulation efficiency of the indoor side 310.
[0153] When the angle θ between the air outlet surface 11b and the air inlet surface 12b is less than 90°, the tilt angle between the air outlet surface 11b and the air inlet surface 12b is too large, which will greatly reduce the length of the air duct 11 and the air inlet duct 12, making it difficult to achieve efficient air circulation. When the angle θ between the air outlet surface 11b and the air inlet surface 12b is greater than 160°, since the air outlet surface 11b and the air inlet surface 12b are located on the side of the air duct component 100 facing the indoor side 310, the size of the side of the air duct component 100 facing the indoor side 310 is relatively large, and the air outlet 113 on the air outlet surface 11b and the air inlet 125 on the air inlet surface 12b are basically in the same direction, which can also easily cause the problem of air leakage between the air inlet and outlet.
[0154] Please see Figure 14 ,in, Figure 14 This is a schematic diagram of the housing structure disclosed in the embodiments of this application. In some embodiments, the air duct component 100 includes a housing 1c, which is configured to be detachably connected to the air conditioner body 210. By providing a first latching part 13 on the housing 1c and engaging with a second latching part 213 on the air conditioner body 210, the installation and disassembly of the air duct component 100 are simple, time-saving, and labor-saving. At the same time, the housing 1c can also serve as a dustproof, moisture-proof, and decorative element.
[0155] Please refer to the following: Figures 8 to 14The air duct component 100 includes an air duct body 1d, which is disposed within a housing 1c. The air duct body 1d includes an outlet air duct 11 and an inlet air duct 12. By placing the outlet air duct 11 and the inlet air duct 12 within the housing 1c, the outlet air duct 11 and the inlet air duct 12 can be protected and shaped, thereby effectively preventing the outlet air duct 11 and the inlet air duct 12 from tilting or breaking due to impact from external objects, thus effectively improving the reliability of the air duct component 100.
[0156] Optionally, the material of the air duct body 1d may include expandable polystyrene. Expandable polystyrene is a material with heat insulation, sound insulation, moisture resistance, and vibration damping properties. By using expandable polystyrene to make the air inlet duct 12 and air outlet duct 11, the heat loss of the condenser and evaporator of the air conditioner body 210 can be effectively reduced, and the heat insulation effect, impact and vibration resistance, and sound insulation effect of the air duct body 1d can be enhanced, thereby effectively improving the energy efficiency of the air conditioner body 210.
[0157] Please refer to the following: Figures 9 to 14 Optionally, the upper surface 11c of the housing 1c along the height direction is provided with a positioning protrusion 12c, the positioning protrusion 12c being located at the edge of the upper surface 11c of the housing 1c, and the positioning protrusion 12c being configured to position the window frame 330 of the window sill 300 (see...). Figure 3 , Figure 3 The diagram shows the assembly relationship between the windowsill 300, the air duct component 100, and the air conditioner body 210, and their positions on the outer casing 1c. By installing the air duct component 100 on the air conditioner body 210, and by providing a stepped structure on the upper surface 11c of the outer casing 1c to form a positioning protrusion 12c, and aligning the window frame 330 on the windowsill 300 with the positioning protrusion 12c, the user can align the air duct component 100 according to the positioning protrusion 12c, thus making the installation of the air duct component 100 simpler.
[0158] Please see Figure 15 ,in, Figure 15This is a structural schematic diagram of the air duct component disclosed in this application from another perspective. In some embodiments, the air duct component 100 also includes a control panel 16. The control panel 16 is located below the air outlet duct 11 in the height direction of the air duct component 100 and is configured to be electrically connected to the air conditioner body 210. The control panel 16 is used to regulate various functions of the air conditioner body 210. The control panel 16 is located on the air outlet surface 11b, allowing the user to control the air conditioner body 210 from the indoor side 310. Furthermore, the control panel 16's location below the air outlet duct 11 does not obstruct the air outlet direction of the duct 11, ensuring that the air outlet position is positioned high, which is beneficial for improving the airflow circulation efficiency of the air conditioner body 210 in the room. The control panel 16 can be used to control the air conditioner body 210 to achieve various functions, such as adjusting temperature, operating mode, fan speed, and timer.
[0159] Optionally, the air duct component 100 also includes an air guide plate 17, which is configured to be rotatably disposed at the air outlet 113 of the air outlet duct 11 and can be used to adjust the air outlet angle of the air outlet duct 11. In addition, the air guide plate 17 can also close the air outlet duct 11 when the air conditioner body 210 is not in use, effectively preventing dust and water droplets from entering the air outlet duct 11, thereby improving the reliability of the air conditioner body 210 and the air duct component 100.
[0160] In the height direction of the air duct component 100, the control panel 16 is located below the air guide plate 17. This allows the control panel 16 to be set close to the air outlet 113 of the air outlet duct 11. The control panel 16 is located between the air outlet duct 11 and the air inlet duct 12, which is convenient for user operation and makes the design of the control panel 16 and the air outlet 113 more compact, thereby improving the space utilization of the air duct component 100.
[0161] Optionally, the air outlet 113 of the air outlet duct 11 has a first side 1a 1131 and a second side 1b 1132 opposite to each other along its width direction. The air guide plate 17 is rotatably connected to the first side 1a 1131 and / or the second side 1b 1132 and is located in the middle of the air outlet 113 along its height direction. Compared with placing the air guide plate 17 at the top or bottom of the air outlet 113, placing the air guide plate 17 in the middle of the air outlet 113 and rotatably connecting it to the first side 1a 1131 and the second side 1b 1132 opposite to each other along its width direction allows for a larger rotation angle of the air guide plate 17 and provides better adjustment of the airflow blowing angle.

Although this application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein.
