[0086] Optionally, the front panel assembly 101 can slide under the drive of the first driving device, when the front panel assembly 101 slides upward, the front air outlet 11 is opened, and when the front panel assembly 101 slides downward, the front air outlet 11 is closed. Optionally, the first driving device can be a gear and rack type driving device driven by a motor.

[0087] Optionally, the inner guide plate 14 can be rotated under the drive of the second driving device, so that the inner guide plate 14 is in the upward air guiding position, the downward air guiding position and the air dividing position 1401. Optionally, the second driving device can be a gear type driving device driven by a motor.

[0088] It can be understood that the air dividing position 1401 to which the inner guide plate 14 rotates is a position at which the air flow through the outer wall of the inner guide plate 14 is substantially the same as the air flow through the inner wall. For example, when the front panel assembly 101 is in the first position of closing the front air outlet 11 and the inner guide plate 14 is rotated to the air dividing position 1401, the air in the air outlet passage 2 of the air conditioner indoor unit flows partly through the inner wall of the inner guide plate 14 and is sent out from the side air outlet 13, and flows partly through the outer wall of the inner guide plate 14 and is sent out from the lower air outlet 12. Alternatively, the air dividing position 1401 to which the inner guide plate 14 rotates can also be understood as a position between the upward air guiding position and the downward air guiding position.

[0089] Optionally, the front panel assembly 101 comprises a front cover plate 1011 and an inner partition plate 1012 located on one side of the inner wall of the front cover plate 1011, and the front cover plate 1011 and the inner partition plate 1012 enclose a front air outlet cavity 1013, and the side air outlet 13 is arranged on the side of the front air outlet cavity 1013, wherein the front air outlet cavity 1013 is in communication with the air outlet passage 2, so that the air in the air outlet passage 2 enters the front air outlet cavity 1013 and is sent out from the side air outlet 13.

The air conditioner air in the air outlet passage 2 of the air conditioner indoor unit can enter the front air outlet cavity and be sent out from the side air outlet 13.

[0091] The front cover plate 1011 and the inner partition plate 1012 are arranged in the front-rear direction, and the front cover plate 1011 is arranged on the front side of the inner partition plate 1012. The front cover plate 1011 can be an appearance panel of the air conditioner indoor unit. The inner partition plate 1012 is arranged to separate the front air outlet cavity 1013 from the heat exchanger inside the air conditioner indoor unit. As shown. Figure 8

[0092] Optionally, the side air outlet 13 comprises a first side air outlet located on one side of the front air outlet cavity 1013 and a second side air outlet located on the other side of the front air outlet cavity 1013.

[0093] ​The side air outlet 13 includes a first side air outlet and a second side air outlet located on both sides of the front air outlet cavity 1013 respectively. In this way, when the front panel assembly 101 is in the first position of closing the front air outlet 11 and the inner guide plate 14 is rotated to the air distribution position 1401, the air of the air conditioner indoor unit can be sent out from the lower air outlet 12, the first side air outlet and the second side air outlet at the same time, realizing a three-sided air supply mode, preventing the air conditioner air from directly blowing on the user, and improving the user experience.

[0094] Optionally, the air outlet width of the first side air outlet, the air outlet width of the second side air outlet and the air outlet width of the front air outlet cavity 1013 are the same.

[0095] Optionally, the front cover plate 1011 of the front panel assembly 101 can slide up and down as a whole to open or close the front air outlet 11.

[0096] The front cover plate 1011 can slide up as a whole under the driving of the first driving device to open the front air outlet 11, as shown in Figure 6 ; and slide down as a whole to close the front air outlet 11, as shown in Figure 5 .

[0097] Optionally, the maximum distance of the upward sliding of the front cover plate 1011 is a first distance, and the distance from the bottom of the inner partition plate 1012 to the lower air outlet 12 is a second distance, wherein the first distance is greater than or equal to the second distance.

[0098] When the front cover plate 1011 opens the front air outlet 11, the maximum distance of the upward sliding of the front cover plate 1011 is a first distance H1, and the distance from the bottom of the inner partition plate 1012 to the lower air outlet 12 is a second distance H2. In the embodiment of the present disclosure, H1≥H2, so that the front cover plate 1011 does not block the front air outlet 11, which is beneficial to improve the air supply amount of the front air outlet 11.

[0099] It can be understood that the first distance H1 is the vertical distance between the bottom edge of the front cover plate 1011 and the air outlet grille at the lower air outlet 12; and the second distance H2 is the vertical distance between the bottom edge of the inner partition plate 1012 and the air outlet grille at the lower air outlet 12, as shown in Figure 9 .

[0100] Optionally, the front cover plate 1011 of the front panel assembly 101 includes an upper cover plate part 104 and a lower cover plate part 105, and the lower cover plate part 105 corresponds to the front air outlet 11, wherein the lower cover plate part 105 can slide up and down to open or close the front air outlet 11.

[0101] The front cover plate 1011 can also open or close the front air outlet 11 in a partially sliding manner. In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the front cover plate 1011 comprises an upper cover plate portion 104 and a lower cover plate portion 105, and when the front air outlet 11 is in a closed state, the lower cover plate portion 105 of the front cover plate 1011 corresponds to the front air outlet 11 to shield the front air outlet 11.

[0102] The lower cover plate portion 105 can slide upward under the driving of the first driving device to open the front air outlet 11, as shown in Figure 11 and Figure 12 The lower cover plate portion 105 can slide downward to close the front air outlet 11, as shown in Figure 1 .

[0103] Optionally, the surface area of the lower cover plate portion 105 is greater than the air outlet area of the front air outlet 11, so that the shielding effect of the lower cover plate portion 105 on the front air outlet 11 when the front air outlet 11 is in a closed state is improved.

[0104] Optionally, when the lower cover plate portion 105 is in a state of opening the front air outlet 11, the whole of the lower cover plate portion 105 slides upward to the inner side of the upper cover plate portion 104, as shown in Figure 11 and Figure 12 .

[0105] Optionally, the upper cover plate portion 104 comprises a first cover plate edge 1041 located at the bottom, and the distance from the bottom of the inner partition plate 1012 to the lower air outlet 12 is a second distance, wherein the height of the first cover plate edge 1041 is greater than or equal to the second distance.

[0106] When the lower cover plate portion 105 is in a state of opening the front air outlet 11, the cover plate edge of the lower cover plate portion 105 is flush with the first cover plate edge 1041 at the bottom of the upper cover plate portion 104, or the cover plate edge of the lower cover plate portion 105 is located at the upper part of the first cover plate edge 1041 at the bottom of the upper cover plate portion 104. In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the height of the first cover plate edge 1041 at the bottom of the upper cover plate portion 104 is greater than the height of the first partition plate edge 10121, so that when the front air outlet 11 is in an open state, the shielding effect of the upper cover plate portion 104 on the front air outlet 11 is avoided, which is conducive to improving the air supply amount of the front air outlet 11.

[0107] Optionally, the height H3 of the first cover plate edge 1041 is the vertical distance between the first cover plate edge 1041 and the air outlet grille of the lower air outlet 12, as shown in Figure 11 .

[0108] Optionally, the air outlet passage 2 comprises a first air duct plate 21 connected with the first partition edge 10121 of the inner partition plate 1012, wherein the first air duct plate 21 passes through the extension line of the first partition edge 10121 to form a first extension line 211, and the first cover edge 1041 of the upper cover plate part 104 is located at the lower part of the first extension line 211. As shown in Figure 12

[0109] Optionally, the first air duct plate 21 of the air outlet passage 2 is arranged to be inclined upward along the air outlet direction. The first air duct plate 21 passes through the first partition edge 10121 to form a first extension line 211, and the first cover edge 1041 of the upper cover plate part 104 is located at the lower part of the first extension line 211. In this way, the upper cover plate part 104 is prevented from shielding the front air outlet 11, and the front air outlet 11 is not opened to an unnecessary size during air supply, thereby improving the aesthetic performance of the front air outlet 11 during air supply.

[0110] Optionally, when the inner guide plate 14 is in the downward air guiding position 1403, the lower air outlet 12 comprises a first lower air outlet part 121 located at the outer wall side of the inner guide plate 14 and a second lower air outlet part 122 located at the inner wall side of the inner guide plate 14, wherein when the inner guide plate 14 is in the downward air guiding position 1403, the air in the air outlet passage 2 of the air conditioner indoor unit is sent out from the second lower air outlet part 122.

[0111] The air outlet width of the lower air outlet 12 is greater than the air outlet width of the side air outlet 13. When the inner guide plate 14 is in the downward air guiding position 1403, a perpendicular line is drawn along the lower edge of the inner guide plate 14 to divide the lower air outlet 12 into the first lower air outlet part 121 and the second lower air outlet part 122, and the first lower air outlet part 121 is located at the outer wall side of the inner guide plate 14, and the second lower air outlet part 122 is located at the outer wall side of the inner guide plate 14.

[0112] In this way, when the front air outlet 11 is in the closed state and the inner guide plate 14 is in the downward air guiding position 1403, the air in the air outlet passage 2 of the air conditioner indoor unit is sent out from the second lower air outlet part 122.

[0113] Optionally, the area of the first lower air outlet part 121 is a first air outlet area, and the area of the second lower air outlet part 122 is a second air outlet area, wherein the first air outlet area is less than or equal to the second air outlet area.

[0114] ​The air outlet width of the first lower air outlet part 121 is K1, the air outlet width of the second lower air outlet part 122 is K2, and the air outlet length of the first lower air outlet part 121 is the same as the air outlet length of the second lower air outlet part 122. In the embodiment of the present disclosure, K1 < K2, so that the first air outlet area is smaller than the second air outlet area. In this way, when the current air outlet 11 is in a closed state and the inner guide plate 14 is in a downward air guide position, the air supply amount of the second lower air outlet part 122 is improved.

[0115] Optionally, the air conditioner indoor unit further comprises an air guide and distribution component 3.

[0116] The air guide and distribution component 3 is arranged on the side of the front panel assembly 101 facing the inside of the shell 1, wherein when the front panel assembly 101 is in a first position of closing the front air outlet 11 and the inner guide plate 14 is rotated to a distribution position 1401, the air in the air outlet channel 2 is distributed once by the inner guide plate 14, so that part of the air is sent out from the lower air outlet 12, and distributed again by the air guide and distribution component 3, so that part of the air is sent out from the side air outlet 13.

[0117] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the arrangement of the air guide and distribution component 3 improves the air distribution effect to the side air outlet 13 and improves the air outlet amount of the side air outlet 13.

[0118] Figure 16 A vector diagram of the air conditioner indoor unit with the air guide and distribution component 3 is given. From Figure 16 it can be seen that under the distribution effect of the air guide and distribution component 3, the air passing through the inner guide plate 14 can enter the front air outlet cavity 1013 with little loss of air speed, improving the air supply speed of the side air outlet 13. And the air can fill the front air outlet cavity 1013, and the air outlet of different positions of the side air outlet 13 is relatively uniform along the entire height direction of the side air outlet 13. Especially when the speed of the fan is small, the air guide and distribution component 3 can guide the air with small speed to the front air outlet cavity 1013 and send it out from the side air outlet 13. Among them, Figure 16 the left drawing in Figure 16 the right drawing in Figure 16 is an air supply vector diagram of the air conditioner indoor unit with the air guide and distribution component 3.

[0119] Figure 17 A vector diagram without the air guide and distribution component 3 is given. From Figure 17As can be seen, after the shunting effect of the inner guide plate 14, the air directly hits the inner side of the front cover plate 1011, and the flow direction of the air is perpendicular to the front cover plate 1011. When the air hits the inner side of the front cover plate 1011, the air loss is large, which reduces the air speed of the air flowing into the front air outlet cavity 1013, thereby reducing the air outlet effect of the side air outlet 13. Moreover, the air does not fill the entire front air outlet cavity 1013, so that the air outlet amount of the part of the side air outlet 13 at a higher position is small. Among them, Figure 17 The left drawing in FIG. 1 is the air supply vector diagram of the air conditioner indoor unit without the air guide shunting component 3, Figure 17 The right drawing in FIG. 1 is Figure 17 The enlarged view of the inner guide plate 14 in the left drawing in FIG. 1.

[0120] The air of the air outlet channel 2 of the air conditioner indoor unit is shunted for the first time by the inner guide plate 14. After the shunting, part of the air flows through the upper side of the inner guide plate 14, and the other part flows through the lower side of the inner guide plate 14, and the air flowing through the lower side of the inner guide plate 14 is sent out from the lower air outlet 12. Among them, the air flowing through the upper side of the inner guide plate 14 is shunted for the second time by the air guide shunting component 3. After the shunting, part of the air flows upward through the air guide shunting component 3 and is sent out through the side air outlet 13, and the other part of the air flows downward through the air guide shunting component 3 and is sent out through the lower air outlet 12. As shown in FIG. 1. Figure 14

[0121] It can be seen that, in the embodiment of the disclosure, the air guide shunting component 3 serves as a structure component for secondary shunting of the air, thereby improving the air supply effect of the side air outlet 13.

[0122] Optionally, the front panel assembly 101 includes a front cover plate 1011 and an inner partition plate 1012 located at one side of the inner wall of the front cover plate 1011, and the front cover plate 1011 and the inner partition plate 1012 enclose a front air outlet cavity 1013, and the side air outlet 13 is arranged at the side of the front air outlet cavity 1013, wherein the air guide shunting component 3 is arranged on the inner wall of the front cover plate 1011.

[0123] In the embodiment of the disclosure, the air guide shunting component 3 is arranged on the inner wall of the front cover plate 1011. Optionally, the air guide shunting component 3 is fixedly arranged on the inner wall of the front cover plate 1011.

[0124] Optionally, the air guide shunting component 3 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the front cover plate 1011 and moves with the sliding of the front cover plate 1011, wherein when the front panel assembly 101 is in the first position of closing the front air outlet 11, the air guide shunting component 3 is located between the front cover plate 1011 and the inner guide plate 14; when the front panel assembly 101 is in the second position of opening the front air outlet 11, the air guide shunting component 3 is located between the front cover plate 1011 and the inner partition plate 1012.

[0125] ​In this embodiment, the airflow diversion component 3 moves with the sliding of the front cover 1011. When the front panel assembly 101 is in the first position with the front air outlet 11 closed, the airflow diversion component 3 is located between the front cover 1011 and the inner guide plate 14, playing a secondary diversion role, such as... Figure 14 As shown. When the front panel assembly 101 is in the second position with the front air outlet 11 open, the air diversion component 3 is located between the front cover 1011 and the inner partition 1012, and does not perform a secondary air diversion function. Furthermore, it can block airflow from being delivered from the side air outlet 13, as... Figure 6 As shown.

[0126] Optionally, the air outlet height of the front air outlet 11 is a first air outlet height H1; when the front panel assembly 101 is in the first position of closing the front air outlet 11, the air diversion component 3 includes a diversion initial end facing the air outlet channel 2, and the distance between the diversion initial end and the lower air outlet 12 is a lower diversion height H4, wherein H4 < H1.

It can be understood that the other end of the air diversion component 3 is the end connected to the front panel assembly 101.

[0128] In this embodiment of the disclosure, H4 < H1, such as... Figure 18 As shown, this allows the air after being divided by the inner guide plate 14 to be smoothly divided again at the initial diversion end of the air diversion component 3, which improves the effect of the air diversion component 3 on the secondary diversion of the air after the first diversion and increases the air volume of the side air outlet 13.

[0129] Optionally, H4 ≤ 1 / 2H1.

[0130] In this embodiment, the initial diversion end of the airflow guiding and diverting component 3 is approximately flush with the front end of the inner guide plate 14 at the airflow diversion position 1401, or slightly higher than the front end of the inner guide plate 14. This allows the airflow passing over the upper side of the inner guide plate 14 to better flow through the airflow guiding and diverting component 3 for secondary diversion, improving the airflow diversion effect of the airflow guiding and diverting component 3. Optionally, the value of H4 ranges from 30mm to 40mm.

As shown in Figure 14 and Figure 15 Optionally, the upper deflection guide plate 31 is a concave guide plate, and / or the lower deflection guide plate 32 is a concave guide plate.

[0134] Optionally, the upper deflection guide plate 31 comprises a second connecting end 302 connected to the front panel assembly 101, wherein an included angle between an outer tangent line of the second connecting end 302 and a horizontal line is a first included angle A1, and 30°≤A1≤50°.

[0135] The first connecting end 301 is the deflection initial end of the upper deflection guide plate 31, and the second connecting end 302 is the deflection terminal end of the upper deflection guide plate 31. In the embodiment of the present disclosure, an included angle between an outer tangent line of the second connecting end 302 and a horizontal line is a first included angle A1, and 30°≤A1≤50°. It can be understood that the first connecting end 301 of the upper deflection guide plate 31 is arranged horizontally, and an included angle between the second connecting end 302 of the upper deflection guide plate 31 and a horizontal line is A1, and 30°≤A1≤50°.

Optionally, 30°≤A1≤40°. As shown in Figure 15 .

[0136] Optionally, the lower deflection guide plate 32 comprises a third connecting end 303 connected to the front panel assembly 101, wherein an included angle between an outer tangent line of the third connecting end 303 and a horizontal line is a second included angle A2, and 30°≤A2≤50°.

[0137] The first connecting end 301 is the initial shunt end of the lower shunt guide plate 32, and the third connecting end 303 is the final shunt end of the lower shunt guide plate 32. In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the included angle between the tangent line of the third connecting end 303 and the horizontal line is a second included angle A2, and 30°≤A2≤50°. It can be understood that the first connecting end 301 of the lower shunt guide plate 32 is horizontally arranged, and the included angle between the third connecting end 303 of the lower shunt guide plate 32 and the horizontal line is A2, and 30°≤A2≤50°. The entire air shunting path formed by the lower shunt guide plate 32 is not long, and the air shunting effect of the lower shunt guide plate 32 is improved. Alternatively, 30°≤A2≤40°. Alternatively, A1=A2. As shown in FIG. 1B. Figure 15

[0138] Alternatively, when the front panel assembly 101 is in the first position of closing the front air outlet 11, and the inner guide plate 14 is rotated to the downward air guiding position 1403, the distance between the inner guide plate 14 and the air guiding and shunting component 3 is less than or equal to the first preset distance.

[0139] The distance between the initial shunt end of the air guiding and shunting component 3 and the position corresponding to the initial shunt end of the inner guide plate 14 can be taken as the distance L1 between the inner guide plate 14 and the air guiding and shunting component 3, as shown in FIG. 1B and FIG. 1C. Figure 19 Figure 20 In the embodiment of the present disclosure, when the front panel assembly 101 is in the first position of closing the front air outlet 11, and the inner guide plate 14 is rotated to the downward air guiding position, the distance L1 between the inner guide plate 14 and the air guiding and shunting component 3 is limited to be less than or equal to the first preset distance, so that the air guiding effect of the inner guide plate 14 is improved, and the air outlet effect of the lower air outlet 12 is improved.

[0140] Alternatively, the first preset distance is less than or equal to 20 mm. Alternatively, the distance L1 between the inner guide plate 14 and the air guiding and shunting component 3 can be 10 mm, 13 mm, 15 mm, 18 mm or 20 mm. Alternatively, the distance L1 between the inner guide plate 14 and the air guiding and shunting component 3 should not be too small, otherwise the rotation of the inner guide plate 14 will be affected due to the arrangement of the air guiding and shunting component 3.

[0141] Alternatively, the air guiding and shunting component 3 comprises an upper shunt guide plate 31 and a lower shunt guide plate 32, wherein the upper shunt guide plate 31 comprises a first connecting end 301 connected with the lower shunt guide plate 32, and when the inner guide plate 14 is rotated to the downward air guiding position 1403, the horizontal line where the first connecting end 301 is located falls into the guide plate middle segment 142 in the middle part of the inner guide plate 14.

[0142] ​​When the inner guide plate 14 rotates to the downward airflow position, along the height direction, the inner guide plate 14 is divided into the upper section 141 of the upper guide plate, the middle section 142 of the middle guide plate, and the lower section 143 of the lower guide plate, as follows. Figure 20 As shown in B in the figure. In this embodiment of the present disclosure, the horizontal line where the first connecting end 301 is located falls into the middle section 142 of the guide plate, so that the first connecting end 301 roughly corresponds to the middle part of the inner guide plate 14.

[0143] Optionally, the upper diversion guide plate 31 further includes a second connection end 302 connected to the front panel assembly 101, wherein when the inner guide plate 14 is rotated to the downward airflow position 1403, the horizontal line where the second connection end 302 is located falls into the upper section 141 of the guide plate located above the inner guide plate 14. The lower diversion guide plate 32 includes a third connection end 303 connected to the front panel assembly 101, wherein when the inner guide plate 14 is rotated to the downward airflow position 1403, the horizontal line where the third connection end 303 is located falls into the lower section 143 of the guide plate located below the inner guide plate 14.

[0144] In this way, the horizontal line where the second connecting end 302 of the uppermost diverting guide plate 31 is located falls into the upper section 141 of the inner guide plate 14, ensuring that the uppermost end of the upper diverting guide plate 31 is not set too high. The horizontal line where the third connecting end 303 of the lower diverting guide plate 32 is located falls into the lower section 143 of the inner guide plate 14, ensuring that the lowermost end of the lower diverting guide plate 32 is not set too low. This embodiment of the present disclosure limits the setting of the entire air diversion component 3 in the height direction, so that the air diversion component 3 can perform the secondary air diversion function without occupying too much space and reducing the width of the airflow channel.

[0145] Optionally, the width of the front air outlet cavity 1013 is a first width, and the width of the air guide and diversion component 3 is a second width, wherein the first width is greater than or equal to the second width.

Thus, when the air guiding and diverting component 3 moves upward with the sliding of the front cover plate 1011, it can move smoothly within the front air outlet cavity 1013 without jamming. Figure 21 As shown.

[0147] Optionally, when the current panel assembly 101 is in the first position of closing the front air outlet 11, and the inner guide plate 14 is rotated to the air distribution position 1401, the distance between the inner guide plate 14 and the air distribution component 3 is less than or equal to the second preset distance.

[0150] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the distance L2 between the inner guide plate 14 and the air guide and distribution component 3 is greater than or equal to the third preset distance, so that the distance between the inner guide plate 14 and the air guide and distribution component 3 is not too small, and the noise in the distribution process of the air guide and distribution component 3 is reduced. Optionally, the third preset distance is greater than or equal to 20 mm.

[0151] Optionally, the distance L2 between the inner guide plate 14 and the air guide and distribution component 3 can be 20 mm, 22 mm, 25 mm, 27 mm, or 30 mm.
