Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air conditioning technology, and in particular to an air conditioner. Background Technology

[0002] Air conditioners in related technologies typically only deliver air to one side or at a single angle during operation, resulting in a limited mode and a poor user experience. Even in swing mode, they simply use mechanical devices to move the air guide vane back and forth within a certain angle range to change the airflow direction, which still fails to meet the personalized needs of different users for simultaneous multi-angle airflow and different airflow sensations.

To simplify the disclosure, specific examples of components and arrangements are described below. These are merely examples and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention. Furthermore, reference numerals and / or letters may be repeated in different examples.

In addition, examples of various specific processes and materials are provided in this invention; however, those skilled in the art will recognize the applicability of other processes and / or the use of other materials.

[0058] Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings, an air conditioner 100 according to a first aspect embodiment of the present invention will be described.

[0059] See Figure 2The air conditioner 100 includes a panel component 1 and an air guide component 2. The panel component 1 includes mounting bases 11, and there are at least two mounting bases 11 spaced apart in the vertical direction. An air outlet 121 is formed between two adjacent mounting bases 11. Figure 1 and Figure 3 The air guiding component 2 includes an air guiding assembly 21 and a drive assembly 22. The air guiding assembly 21 is located between two adjacent mounting seats 11 and is set corresponding to the air outlet 121. The air guiding assembly 21 includes a plurality of air guiding plates 211 arranged in the left-right direction. At least one of the plurality of air guiding plates 211 is a first air guiding plate 211A and at least one is a second air guiding plate 211B. The rotation axis 212 of the air guiding plate 211 extends in the up-down direction, and the upper and lower ends are respectively rotatably mounted on the mounting seats 11 on the corresponding sides. The drive assembly 22 includes a first drive motor 22A and a second drive motor 22B that are independent of each other. The first drive motor 22A is used to drive the first air guiding plate 211A to rotate, and the second drive motor 22B is used to drive the second air guiding plate 211B to rotate.

[0060] Air conditioners in related technologies typically only deliver air to one side or at a single angle during operation, resulting in a limited mode and a poor user experience. Even in swing mode, although the airflow range is expanded, the uniformity and comfort of the airflow still need improvement. Specifically, traditional swing mode usually simply uses a mechanical device to drive the air guide vane to swing back and forth within a certain angle range to change the airflow direction, which still cannot meet the personalized needs of different users for simultaneous multi-angle airflow and different airflow sensations.

[0061] In the technical solution of this application, by setting the air guide assembly 21 between two adjacent mounting bases 11 and corresponding to the air outlet 121, the air guide assembly 21 includes multiple air guide plates 211 arranged in the left-right direction. At least one of the multiple air guide plates 211 is a first air guide plate 211A and at least one is a second air guide plate 211B, so that the first air guide plate 211A and the second air guide plate 211B can be arranged side by side in the left-right direction. In this way, by setting the first air guide plate 211A and the second air guide plate 211B side by side, and using the independent first drive motor 22A and the second drive motor 22B to drive the first air guide plate 211A and the second air guide plate 211B separately, multiple combinations of air delivery angles can be achieved, providing more optional air delivery effects. In addition, by installing the side-by-side first air guide plate 211A and the second air guide plate 211B between two adjacent mounting bases 11, the structure of the air conditioner 100 can be simplified, and the installation of the air guide components can be simplified.

[0062] For example, a long-distance air delivery mode with a strong wind can be achieved. Specifically, if you want to deliver air to a certain direction over a long distance, you can adjust the angles of the first air guide plate 211A and the second air guide plate 211B so that one of the angles of the first air guide plate 211A and the second air guide plate 211B is greater than the angle of the air delivery direction and the other is smaller than the angle of the air delivery direction. The winds from the two directions collide with each other at a small angle, so that the wind can reach a greater distance and the wind is stronger.

[0063] For example, a wide-angle air delivery mode with a gentle breeze can be achieved. Specifically, the first air guide plate 211A and the second air guide plate 211B are at different angles so that the air at the two angles moves away from each other, thereby achieving wide-angle air delivery with a gentle breeze.

[0064] In the embodiments of this application, the first air guide plate 211A and the second air guide plate 211B, as well as the first drive motor 22A and the second drive motor 22B, are only distinguished by their different states, and are not a limitation on their quantity. That is, the technical solution is to set up multiple air guide plates 211 that can be independently controlled by the drive motor to achieve multi-angle air delivery. The number of multiple air guide plates 211 is not limited, and can be 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, etc.

[0065] In the embodiments of this application, the driving cooperation between the air guide plate 211 and the drive motor is not limited. For example, the air guide plate 211 and the drive motor can be matched one-to-one, or multiple air guide plates 211 can be driven by one drive motor through a linkage component.

[0066] In the embodiments of this application, the rotation axis 212 of the air guide plate 211 extends in the vertical direction, and the upper and lower ends are rotatably mounted on the mounting base 11 on the corresponding side. "Rotatably mounted" means that the air guide plate 211 is mounted on the mounting base 11 in a certain way so that it can swing around the rotation axis 212.

[0067] For example, the upper and lower ends of the air guide plate 211 are pins, and the mounting base 11 has shaft holes; or, the upper and lower ends of the air guide plate 211 are shaft holes, and the mounting base 11 has pins, with the pins and shaft holes rotatably engaged to realize the swing of the air guide plate 211.

[0068] For example, the upper and lower ends of the air guide plate 211 are gears, and there is a hinge on the mounting base 11. The hinge is driven by the drive assembly 22 to drive the gear to realize the swing of the air guide plate 211.

[0069] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 1 and Figure 2There are at least three mounting bases 11, and the panel component 1 has a plurality of air outlets 121 spaced apart in the vertical direction. The number of air guide components 2 is the same as the number of air outlets 121 and they are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence.

[0070] In the above technical solution, the arrangement of multiple air outlets 121 in the vertical direction increases the airflow channels, allowing for a more even distribution of air throughout the space and improving circulation efficiency. The multiple air outlets 121 can adjust the airflow direction and speed according to the user's specific needs, meeting different airflow requirements in different scenarios and thus enhancing the user experience. Furthermore, since the multiple air outlets 121 are arranged vertically, the opening and closing of the air outlets 121 can be controlled to allow individual airflow from either the upper or lower outlet, satisfying diverse user needs. The number of air guiding components 2 is the same as the number of air outlets 121 and they are configured in a one-to-one correspondence, ensuring that each air outlet 121 has an air guiding component 2 to guide the airflow, improving the adaptability and adjustability of the air conditioner 100.

[0071] In the embodiments of this application, there are at least three mounting bases 11. For example, the number of mounting bases 11 can be 3, 4, 5, 6, etc. Multiple air outlets 121 can be formed between the multiple mounting bases 11, and the mounting bases 11 are used to fix the air guide components 2 that are corresponding to the air outlets 121.

[0072] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 1 and Figure 2 At least one mounting base 11 is a common mounting base 11M. Air outlets 121 are formed on the upper and lower sides of the common mounting base 11M. The lower end of the air guide plate 211 located above the common mounting base 11M is rotatably mounted to the common mounting base 11M, and the upper end of the air guide plate 211 located below the common mounting base 11M is rotatably mounted to the common mounting base 11M. Thus, the common mounting base 11M not only rotatably fixes the upper air guide plate 211 but also rotatably fixes the lower air guide plate 211, reducing the number of mounting bases 11, lowering production costs and assembly complexity, and effectively improving space utilization. This allows the air conditioner 100 to have a larger area of ​​air outlet 121 within a limited space, thereby increasing air volume and improving user experience. It is worth noting that the upper and lower air guide plates 211 located on the common mounting base 11M are not linked by the common mounting base 11M but can rotate independently. Of course, a linkage mechanism can also be set as needed to allow the upper and lower air guide plates 211 to rotate together.

[0073] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 1 and Figure 2The panel component 1 includes an opening area 12 extending in the vertical direction. The mounting base 11 includes an upper mounting base 11U located at the upper end of the opening area 12 and a lower mounting base 11D located at the lower end of the opening area 12. A common mounting base 11M is located between the upper mounting base 11U and the lower mounting base 11D in the vertical direction. A first air outlet 121A is formed between the upper mounting base 11U and the common mounting base 11M, and a second air outlet 121B is formed between the common mounting base 11M and the lower mounting base 11D. The drive assembly 22 of the air guide component 2 corresponding to the first air outlet 121A is mounted on the upper mounting base 11U, and the drive assembly 22 of the air guide component 2 corresponding to the second air outlet 121B is mounted on the lower mounting base 11D.

[0074] In the above technical solution, by setting a common mounting base 11M between the upper mounting base 11U and the lower mounting base 11D, and forming the first air outlet 121A and the second air outlet 121B respectively, the structure of the entire panel component 1 becomes more compact. This design not only reduces the number of required components, but also reduces assembly complexity, which helps to improve production efficiency and reduce costs. Since the first air outlet 121A and the second air outlet 121B are respectively equipped with independent air guiding components 2 and drive components 22, users can independently adjust the airflow direction and wind speed of these two air outlets 121, thereby providing greater adjustment flexibility and helping to meet the needs of different areas or different users for airflow direction and wind speed. The drive assembly 22 of the air guide component 2 corresponding to the first air outlet 121A is installed on the upper mounting base 11U, and the drive assembly 22 of the air guide component 2 corresponding to the second air outlet 121B is installed on the lower mounting base 11D. This isolates the drive control of the first air outlet 121A and the second air outlet 121B from each other and prevents them from interfering with each other. This eliminates the need to set them on the common mounting base 11M, which would increase the difficulty of setting them up. Furthermore, this arrangement makes the structure of the panel component 1 more compact.

[0075] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 2 and Figure 4 The mounting base 11 is a crossbeam 11A extending in the left and right direction. The mounting base 11 has a plurality of mounting holes 11A1 spaced apart in the left and right direction for correspondingly engaging with a plurality of air guide plates 211 in the corresponding air guide assembly 21. The mounting base 11 has a motor mounting base 11B on the side away from the air outlet 121 in the up and down direction. The drive assembly 22 is mounted on the motor mounting base 11B.

[0076] In the above technical solution, the mounting base 11 is specifically in the form of a crossbeam 11A, which extends in the left-right direction and connects to the side plate of the panel component 1, providing better structural support for the air guide assembly 21 and helping to enhance the stability of the entire panel component 1. Multiple spaced mounting holes 11A1 are provided on the crossbeam 11A, allowing for convenient installation and removal of the air guide plate 211, improving the expandability and adaptability of the equipment. The drive assembly 22 is mounted on a motor mounting base 11B on the side away from the air outlet 121, avoiding interference with airflow and facilitating heat dissipation and maintenance of the drive assembly 22, thus improving the overall performance and reliability of the equipment.

[0077] In the embodiments of this application, the crossbeam 11A extends in the left-right direction either in a straight line or along a curve. Furthermore, the distribution of the mounting holes 11A1 on the crossbeam 11A is not limited; they can be evenly spaced or unequally spaced.

[0078] For example, the mounting base 11 is a straight beam 11A with multiple mounting holes 11A1 evenly distributed on it. This solution is suitable for scenarios requiring stable support and precise installation of the air guide plate 211.

[0079] For example, the mounting base 11 is a curved beam 11A, on which mounting holes 11A1 are arranged in a manner appropriate to the curved shape. This solution is suitable for some special scenarios, such as scenarios that need to adapt to curved walls or specific air circulation requirements.

[0080] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 2 and Figure 4 The mounting base 11 is a horizontal beam 11A extending in the left-right direction. The mounting base 11 has multiple mounting holes 11A1 spaced apart in the left-right direction for correspondingly engaging with multiple air guide plates 211 in the corresponding air guide assembly 21. The mounting holes 11A1 on the mounting base 11 are evenly distributed at equal intervals in the left-right direction. This allows the entire air guide assembly 21 to form a compact layout on the mounting base 11. The evenly distributed mounting holes 11A1 in the left-right direction not only facilitate the quick installation and positioning of the air guide plates 211, but also give the air guide assembly 21 a modular characteristic. That is, the width of the air guide plates 211 is fixed, allowing the air guide plates 211 to overlap or splice each other when the air outlet 121 is closed.

[0081] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 5 and Figure 6The distance between the adjacent first air guide plate 211A and second air guide plate 211B is configured such that when the first air guide plate 211A and the second air guide plate 211B are rotated to their extreme blocking states, their edges overlap or splice together. Thus, when the first air guide plate 211A and the second air guide plate 211B are rotated to their extreme blocking states, the overlap or splicing structure between them helps reduce air leakage, thereby optimizing the airflow path. This not only improves the air delivery efficiency of the equipment but also reduces energy consumption and noise. Furthermore, in the extreme state, the overlap or splicing structure between the air guide plates 211 can provide additional support, enhancing the structural stability of the entire air guide assembly 21.

[0082] In the embodiments of this application, the ultimate blocking state refers to the state in which the air guide plate 211 is rotated to its maximum extent to block the air outlet 121 to the greatest extent within its rotation range. Overlapping refers to the state in which the edge portion of the air guide plate 211 overlaps or contacts the edge of another air guide plate 211 when rotated to its ultimate state. Joining refers to the state in which the edge portion of the air guide plate 211 is connected to the edge of another air guide plate 211 when rotated to its ultimate state; this connection can be with or without gaps.

[0083] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 5 and Figure 6 At least one air guide component 2 is a grouped air guide component 23. The grouped air guide component 23 includes a first air guide unit 23A and a second air guide unit 23B arranged in the left-right direction. The first air guide unit 23A includes a plurality of first air guide plates 211A arranged adjacent to each other in the left-right direction and rotating synchronously. The second air guide unit 23B includes a plurality of second air guide plates 211B arranged adjacent to each other in the left-right direction and rotating synchronously.

[0084] In the above technical solution, by dividing the air guide component 2 into multiple synchronously rotating air guide units, the airflow direction and wind speed can be controlled more precisely. The first air guide unit 23A and the second air guide unit 23B can work independently or collaboratively to meet different air supply needs. For example, the air supply direction can be changed by adjusting the tilt angle of the air guide units to achieve directional air supply, wide-angle air supply, etc. The multiple synchronously rotating air guide plates 211 can share the wind load, reducing the force on a single air guide plate 211, thereby improving the structural stability of the entire air guide component 2, helping to extend the service life of the equipment, and reducing the risk of damage caused by excessive wind force.

[0085] In the embodiments of this application, the air guide plates 211 in the first air guide unit 23A and the second air guide unit 23B rotate synchronously. The synchronous rotation is not limited in any way. For example, it can be connected by a transmission mechanism or by using a synchronous motor.

[0086] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 7 and Figure 8 The first air guiding unit 23A includes a first connecting rod 23A1, which is connected to multiple first air guiding plates 211A in the first air guiding unit 23A. The first drive motor 22A in the grouped air guiding component 23 is a single motor that drives one of the first air guiding plates 211A in the first air guiding unit 23A to rotate. The remaining first air guiding plates 211A in the first air guiding unit 23A rotate synchronously via the first connecting rod 23A1. Figure 9 and Figure 10 The second air guiding unit 23B includes a second link 23B2, which is connected to a plurality of second air guiding plates 211B in the second air guiding unit 23B. The second drive motor 22B in the second air guiding unit 23B is one and drives one of the second air guiding plates 211B in the second air guiding unit 23B to rotate. The remaining second air guiding plates 211B in the second air guiding unit 23B rotate synchronously through the second link 23B2.

[0087] In the above technical solution, by introducing a first connecting rod 23A1 and a second connecting rod 23B2, multiple air guide plates 211 in the first air guide unit 23A and the second air guide unit 23B are connected respectively, achieving synchronous rotation of the air guide plates 211. This reduces the number of drive motors; each air guide unit requires only one drive motor to drive all air guide plates 211 synchronously, thus simplifying the overall structure, reducing costs, and improving system integration. The linkage mechanism features high transmission efficiency and structural stability. In the first air guide unit 23A and the second air guide unit 23B, the power of the drive motor is transmitted to all air guide plates 211 through the connecting rods, ensuring the synchronicity and stability of the rotation of the air guide plates 211. Furthermore, due to the use of the linkage mechanism, when a certain air guide plate 211 or connecting rod fails, it can be more easily disassembled and replaced without disassembling the entire air guide unit, thereby reducing maintenance costs and time.

[0088] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 5 and Figure 6 The number of first air guide plates 211A included in the first air guide unit 23A is less than the number of second air guide plates 211B included in the second air guide unit 23B. The coverage width W1 of the first air guide unit 23A over the air outlet 121 in the left-right direction is less than the coverage width W2 of the second air guide unit 23B over the air outlet 121 in the left-right direction, i.e., W1 < W2; combined with Figure 11 and Figure 12The air conditioner 100 also includes an air duct structure 13 located inside the panel component 1. The air duct structure 13 includes an air outlet section 131. The outlet 1312 of the air outlet section 131 is opposite to the air outlet 121. The inlet 1311 of the air outlet section 131 is located behind the outlet 1312 of the air outlet section 131 and is offset relative to the outlet 1312 towards the side where the second air guide unit 23B is located. That is, the inlet 1311 of the air outlet section 131 is located obliquely behind the first air guide unit 23A and directly behind the second air guide unit 23B.

[0089] In the above technical solution, the airflow is more likely to flow towards the first air guide unit 23A when it flows through the air outlet section 131. By reducing the number of first air guide plates 211A, the coverage width W1 of the first air guide unit 23A over the air outlet 121 in the left and right direction is smaller than the coverage width W2 of the second air guide unit 23B over the air outlet 121 in the left and right direction. In the front air outlet mode, the airflow that is more likely to flow towards the first air guide unit 23A can be taken away by more second air guide plates 211B, thereby keeping the airflow through the first air guide unit 23A and the second air guide unit 23B balanced, improving the uniformity of airflow on both sides of the air outlet 121, and thus improving the user experience.

[0090] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 9 and Figure 11 The panel component 1 includes a limiting beam 14. At least one limiting beam 14 is provided between two adjacent mounting seats 11. The limiting beam 14 and the mounting seat 11 are spaced apart in the vertical direction. The limiting beam 14 extends in the horizontal direction. The limiting beam 14 is pivotally engaged with multiple air guide plates 211 at the corresponding air outlet 121.

[0091] In the above technical solution, a limiting beam 14 is provided between adjacent mounting seats 11, increasing the stress points of the air guide plate 211 and providing support and stability, thus helping to prevent deformation of the air guide plate 211 due to uneven stress. The pivotal engagement between the limiting beam 14 and the air guide plate 211 provides guidance for the rotation of the air guide plate 211, ensuring that the air guide plate 211 remains stable during rotation and that the rotation angle is controllable, thereby improving the accuracy and comfort of air delivery. In addition, the pivotal engagement between the limiting beam 14 and the air guide plate 211 can also provide a limit for the rotation of the air guide plate 211. For example, a stop structure 141 (described below) can be provided on the limiting beam 14. The presence of the stop structure 141 on the limiting beam 14 reduces the functional complexity of the mounting seat 11, simplifies the production and installation of the mounting seat 11, and improves the reliability of the installation. In addition, since the limiting beam 14 is located between two adjacent mounting seats 11, at the center of the shape of the air guide plate 211, the baffle structure 141 is set here, and the force is reasonable, making the air guide plate 211 less prone to deformation.

[0092] In some embodiments, see Figure 12 A stop structure 141 is formed on at least one of the limiting beam 14 and the mounting base 11, the stop structure 141 being used to limit the extreme rotation angle of the air guide plate 211.

[0093] In the above technical solution, by setting a stop structure 141 on the limiting beam 14 or the mounting base 11, the limit rotation angle of the air guide plate 211 can be controlled to ensure that the air guide plate 211 does not exceed the predetermined range during rotation, preventing excessive rotation that could damage or affect the air delivery effect. Furthermore, the stop structure 141 also increases the stability of the air guide plate 211 during rotation. When the air guide plate 211 rotates to its limit position, the stop structure 141 provides support and limits, preventing the air guide plate 211 from shaking or falling off due to uneven force, thus improving the reliability and durability of the entire air guiding system.

[0094] In some embodiments, see Figure 13 The limiting beam 14 has a forward-opening arc-shaped buckle 142, and the air guide plate 211 has a rotating shaft 212 at the corresponding buckle 142. The rotating shaft 212 is engaged with the buckle 142 from front to back.

[0095] In the above technical solution, a stable and reliable rotatable connection between the limiting beam 14 and the air guide plate 211 is achieved by forming a forward-opening arc-shaped buckle 142 on the limiting beam 14 and engaging it with the rotating shaft 212 on the air guide plate 211. The arc-shaped buckle 142 ensures that the rotating shaft 212 is not easily dislodged after being engaged, maintaining a good connection even when the air guide plate 211 rotates. The arc-shaped buckle 142 allows the rotating shaft 212 to rotate freely within a certain range, thereby ensuring that the air guide plate 211 can be driven by the drive assembly 22 and rotate smoothly, which helps to improve the guidance and uniformity of airflow and optimize the air supply effect of the air conditioner.

[0096] In some embodiments, see Figures 14-16 The air conditioner is configured such that there are two air outlets 121, including a first air outlet 121A and a second air outlet 121B spaced apart in the vertical direction. Each air outlet 121 is provided with a grouped air guide component 23. The grouped air guide component 23 provided for the first air outlet 121A is the upper grouped air guide component 231, and the grouped air guide component 23 provided for the second air outlet 121B is the lower grouped air guide component 232. The upper grouped air guide component 231 and the lower grouped air guide component 232 can be opened and closed separately for their respective air outlets 121.

[0097] Therefore, different air outlet modes can be achieved by controlling the opening and closing of the upper group air guide component 231 and the lower group air guide component 232.

[0098] Top air outlet mode: See Figure 14 At least a portion of the air guide vanes 211 of the upper group air guide component 231 of the air conditioner 100 are in the open state, while the lower group air guide component 232 is in the closed state.

[0099] Bottom air outlet mode: See Figure 15 The upper air guide component 231 of the air conditioner 100 is in the closed state, and at least part of the air guide plate 211 of the lower air guide component 232 is in the open state.

[0100] Top and bottom air outlet modes: See Figure 16 At least a portion of the air guide vanes 211 of the upper group air guide component 231 of the air conditioner 100 are in the open state, and at least a portion of the air guide vanes 211 of the lower group air guide component 232 are in the open state.

[0101] Therefore, the air conditioner 100 can switch between top and bottom air outlet modes, top air outlet mode, and bottom air outlet mode as needed, increasing the selectivity of air supply mode, meeting the diverse air outlet needs of users, and improving the flexibility and comfort of using the air conditioner 100.

[0102] In some embodiments, see Figures 17-20 The air conditioner is configured such that the swing direction and swing angle of the first air guide unit 23A and the second air guide unit 23B can be adjusted independently. This allows the first air guide unit 23A and the second air guide unit 23B to switch between three states: swinging simultaneously to the left, swinging simultaneously to the right, and swinging to the left and right respectively. Furthermore, when the first air guide unit 23A and the second air guide unit 23B swing to the same side, the relative sizes of their swing angles can be changed. Specifically, the air guide unit 23A can be adjusted to have a greater swing angle than the second air guide unit 23B, or its swing angle can be adjusted to have a smaller swing angle than the second air guide unit 23B, or its swing angle can be adjusted to have the same swing angle as the second air guide unit 23B. This provides a wider range of airflow modes.

[0103] For example, the first air guide unit 23A is located to the left of the second air guide unit 23B, and the second air guide unit 23B is located to the right of the first air guide unit 23A. A plane perpendicular to the front-back direction and extending in the left-right direction is defined as a vertical plane. The angle between the first air guide plate 211A and the vertical plane is a1, where a1 is the swing angle of the first air guide unit 23A. The angle between the second air guide plate 211B and the vertical plane is a2, where a2 is the swing angle of the second air guide unit 23B. For example, the following air supply modes can be implemented.

[0104] Full airflow mode: Reference Figure 17, the first air guiding unit 23A swings the air towards the left, and the second air guiding unit 23B swings the air towards the right, where al < 90° < a2. At this time, the air conditioner 100 is in the full air output mode. The full air output mode means that the air output range is relatively large. This is because the first air guiding unit 23A and the second air guiding unit 23B guide the airflows towards different sides respectively, and the blown airflows are very dispersed, effectively guiding the airflows to be evenly distributed in the room, reducing dead corners, and improving the overall comfort level.

[0105] Left long-distance air supply mode; refer to Figure 18 , a2 < a < a1. At this time, the air blown towards the left is relatively concentrated, and the air feeling is relatively strong. This is because the airflows guided by the first air guiding plate 211A and the second air guiding plate 211B are relatively concentrated and collide with each other at a relatively small angle, and the kinetic energy obtained from the fan dissipates relatively slowly, so that the air can reach a farther distance and the air feeling is strong.

[0106] Left gentle air mode: refer to Figure 19 , a2 > a > a1. At this time, the air blown towards the left is relatively dispersed, and the air feeling is relatively gentle. This is because the airflows guided by the first air guiding plate 211A and the second air guiding plate 211B move away from each other, and the kinetic energy obtained from the fan quickly dissipates due to driving the static air in the room.

[0107] Left normal air supply mode: refer to Figure 20 , a2 = a = a1. At this time, relatively parallel air is blown towards the left, the blowing distance is moderate, and the air feeling is also moderate.

[0108] Similarly, the right long-distance air supply mode, the right gentle air mode, and the right normal air supply mode can be understood, which will not be elaborated here.

[0109] Therefore, by adjusting the swing angle of the air guide plates of the first air guide unit 23A and the second air guide unit 23B, this technical solution realizes multiple air supply modes, including single-sided long-distance air supply mode, single-sided gentle air supply mode, and ordinary single-sided air supply mode. Each of these modes has its own characteristics: the single-sided long-distance air supply mode is characterized by a more concentrated airflow in a certain direction and a stronger wind feel. This is because the airflow guided by the first air guide plate 211A and the second air guide plate 211B is more concentrated and opposes each other at a small angle, resulting in slower dissipation of kinetic energy from the fan, thus allowing the wind to reach a greater distance and providing a stronger wind feel; the single-sided gentle air supply mode is characterized by a more dispersed airflow in a certain direction and a gentler wind feel. This is because the airflow guided by the first air guide plate 211A and the second air guide plate 211B moves away from each other, and the kinetic energy from the fan is quickly dissipated by moving the still air in the room; the single-sided ordinary air supply mode refers to blowing a relatively parallel wind in a certain direction. In this case, the blowing distance is moderate, and the wind feel is also moderate. The first air guide unit 23A and the second air guide unit 23B can swing air to one side at the same time, either to the left or to the right. This provides more options for the air outlet mode, which greatly satisfies the air supply needs of different users in different scenarios and improves the practicality and user experience of the air conditioner 100.
