The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0070] In the description of this utility model, "first feature" and "second feature" may include one or more of the features, "multiple" means two or more, "first feature above" or "below" the second feature may include the first and second features being in direct contact, or the first and second features being in contact through another feature between them, and "first feature above", "above" and "over" the second feature may include the first feature being directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply indicate that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature.

[0071] The following description, with reference to the accompanying drawings, describes an air conditioner indoor unit 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The air conditioner indoor unit 100 can be a wall-mounted air conditioner indoor unit.

[0072] Reference Figures 1-27 As shown, the indoor unit 100 of the air conditioner according to the embodiment of the present utility model may include: a housing assembly 20, an air duct assembly 10, an indoor fan 41, an indoor heat exchanger 42, and a baffle plate 30.

[0073] Specifically, the housing assembly 20 has an air inlet 211 through which outside airflow flows into the indoor unit 100 of the air conditioner. The air duct assembly 10 is rotatably disposed on the housing assembly 20, for example, in some embodiments, such as... Figures 1-2 As shown, the indoor unit 100 of the air conditioner also includes a chassis 43, which is disposed within the housing assembly 20. The chassis 43 can be used to install components such as the duct assembly 12, the indoor fan 41, and the indoor heat exchanger 42. The duct assembly 10 can be constructed from... Figures 3-4 Rotate to the state shown Figures 5-6 The state shown.

[0074] The air duct assembly 10 has an air duct 121 and an air outlet 112. The air duct 121 is a channel for airflow. The inlet 1211 of the air duct 121 is connected to the air inlet section 211, and the outlet 1212 of the air duct 121 is connected to the air outlet 112, so that the airflow flowing into the indoor unit 100 of the air conditioner through the air inlet section 211 can flow into the air duct 121 through the inlet 1211 and flow to the air outlet 112 through the outlet 1212 to flow to the outside.

[0075] The air outlet 112 has different air outlet directions depending on its location. As the air duct assembly 10 rotates relative to the housing assembly 20, the position of the air outlet 112 can change along with the air duct assembly 10 to achieve multi-directional air outlet and meet the user's needs.

[0076] Both the indoor fan 41 and the indoor heat exchanger 42 are housed within the casing assembly 20. The indoor fan 41 is located at the inlet 1211 of the air duct 121, and the indoor heat exchanger 42 is positioned between the indoor fan 41 and the air inlet 211 in the airflow direction. The indoor fan 41 can be a cross-flow impeller, which can rotate under the drive of a motor. The indoor heat exchanger 42 can be an evaporator, so that the airflow flowing from the air inlet 211 to the inlet 1211 first passes through the indoor heat exchanger 42 for heat exchange, and in conjunction with the indoor fan 41, heats up as much as possible all the airflow flowing to the inlet 1211, which can turn cold air into hot air or hot air into cold air. The heat-exchanged airflow enters the air duct 121 and flows out from the air outlet 112 through the outlet 1212, thereby realizing the cooling or heating function of the indoor air conditioning unit 100 to the outside.

[0077] A baffle plate 30 is disposed on the air duct assembly 10 and rotates together with the air duct assembly 10. The baffle plate 30 is movable relative to the air duct assembly 10 along a first direction F1 to open or block at least part of the air outlet 112. For example, the baffle plate 30 is rotatable, slidable, or both rotatable and slidable on the air duct assembly 10, so that the relative position of the baffle plate 30 and the air duct assembly 10 can be flexibly set. In the embodiment where the baffle plate 30 is slidable relative to the air outlet panel 11, compared with other movement modes, the process of the baffle plate 30 sliding to open or block the air outlet 112 is smoother and the air outlet effect is better.

[0078] The first direction F1 can extend along a straight line, curve, or irregular shape, which facilitates the adjustment of the movement direction of the baffle 30 to control the area of ​​the air outlet 112 that is blocked or opened by the baffle 30.

[0079] The baffle 30 can be a solid plate without holes or a plate with ventilation holes. For example, in some embodiments, the baffle 30 is a solid plate, which can completely block all air outlets 112 when the indoor unit 100 is in standby mode, reducing the risk of external dust or small stones entering the indoor unit 100 and damaging its internal structure, thus protecting the indoor unit 100. Alternatively, when the indoor unit 100 is on, the baffle 30 can open part or all of the air outlets 112, allowing airflow in the duct 121 to flow directly to the outside through the open area of ​​the air outlets 112 not blocked by the baffle 30. The open area of ​​the air outlets 112 does not easily obstruct airflow, increasing the air volume and velocity in the open area, thereby improving the heating and cooling efficiency of the indoor unit 100. Air is directly discharged outward through the open area of ​​the air outlet 112. The area of ​​the air outlet 112 that is blocked by the wind deflector 30 cannot discharge air, which is conducive to realizing zoned air discharge and meeting various user needs.

[0080] For example, in some embodiments, such as Figure 2 and Figures 7-9 As shown, the baffle plate 30 is provided with multiple spaced air diffusers. When the indoor unit 100 is in standby mode, the baffle plate 30 can block all air outlets 112 to protect the indoor unit 100. It can also block all air outlets 112 when the indoor unit 100 is on, allowing the large airflow from the outlets 112 to be divided into multiple smaller airflows by the diffusers. This disperses the concentrated large airflow into many fine air wisps, resulting in more even air distribution. This facilitates windless airflow throughout the outlets 112, reducing the risk of users experiencing headaches, dizziness, or general discomfort when using the indoor unit 100. This helps to protect user health while simultaneously raising or lowering the indoor temperature, making the user more comfortable.

[0081] Furthermore, when the indoor unit 100 is powered on, the baffle 30 can open part or all of the air outlets 112. With the baffle 30 partially opening the air outlets 112, the airflow within the duct 121 can flow directly to the outside through the unobstructed area of ​​the air outlets 112, increasing the air volume and velocity in the open area of ​​the air outlets 112 and improving the heating and cooling efficiency of the indoor unit 100. Alternatively, the airflow within the duct 121 can be directed outwards through the obstructed area of ​​the air outlets 112, achieving a windless airflow and enhancing user comfort. With the air outlet 112 partially open using the baffle 30, the obstructed area of ​​the air outlet 112 can achieve draft-free airflow, while the open area blows air directly outwards, achieving zoned draft-free airflow. For example, the portion of the air outlet 112 directly opposite the user's space can be blocked by the baffle 30, balancing the user's need for draft-free airflow with the heating or cooling efficiency requirements of the indoor unit 100. This facilitates both zoned draft-free airflow and high-efficiency heating or cooling. With all air outlets 112 open using the baffle 30, the heating or cooling efficiency of the indoor unit 100 is higher, and the indoor temperature rises or falls faster, reducing the waiting time for the user to adjust the indoor temperature to a comfortable level after turning on the indoor unit 100, thus improving the user experience.

[0082] The wind deflector 30 is movable relative to the air duct assembly 10 to open or block at least part of the air outlet 112, so that the open area of ​​the air outlet 112 that is not blocked by the wind deflector 30 can directly blow air out, while the blocked area of ​​the air outlet 112 that is blocked by the wind deflector 30 cannot blow air out or can achieve windless airflow, which is conducive to achieving zoned air supply at the air outlet 112 and meeting various user needs.

[0083] The air duct assembly 10 is rotatably mounted on the housing assembly 20, which can increase the air outlet range. The baffle 30 is mounted on the air duct assembly 10 and rotates with the air duct assembly 10. The baffle 30 is movable relative to the air duct assembly 10 to realize zoned air outlet, which is beneficial to realize zoned air outlet in a larger air outlet range.

[0084] In some related technologies, the indoor unit of an air conditioner has an air guide vane at the outlet of the air duct. The vane rotates relative to the air duct components to achieve multi-directional airflow. However, the outlet position of the air duct is fixed, and the limited range of motion of the air guide vane results in a small airflow distribution range, making it difficult to meet users' needs for airflow in multiple directions. Furthermore, during the process of guiding airflow, the air guide vane obstructs the airflow, increasing airflow loss, reducing the output airflow, and easily creating airflow vortices at the air duct outlet, increasing noise and resulting in a poor user experience.

[0085] This application, by moving the air duct assembly 10 and the baffle 30 together relative to the housing assembly 20, can change the position of the air outlet 112, thereby directly changing the airflow direction at the air outlet 112, achieving multi-directional airflow. This results in a large airflow range, easily meeting users' needs for airflow in multiple directions. Furthermore, directly changing the position of the air outlet 112 to alter the airflow direction minimizes airflow obstruction and airflow loss, increasing airflow volume and reducing noise, thus improving the user experience.

[0086] According to the embodiment of the present utility model, the air conditioner indoor unit 100 can directly change the position of the air outlet 112 to change the airflow direction by rotatably disposing the air duct assembly 10 inside the housing assembly 20, thereby realizing multi-directional air outlet of the air conditioner indoor unit 100, with a large air outlet range and low air outlet noise. It can also achieve zoned air outlet at the air outlet 112 through the baffle 12, with diverse air outlet forms, which helps to meet the usage needs of more users and improve the user experience.

[0087] The air outlet 112 may include one or more air outlet zones 1121, and the number of wind deflectors 30 may be one or more. For example, in some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 9-14 As shown, the air outlet 112 is a complete air outlet area 1121, and there is only one baffle 30, which cooperates with one air outlet 112. By opening or blocking at least a part of an air outlet 112 with a baffle 30, the movement of only one baffle 30 needs to be controlled, which is simple in structure and easy to implement.

[0088] For example, in other embodiments, such as Figures 1-8 and Figures 15-16As shown, the air outlet 112 includes multiple air outlet zones 1121, which are arranged in a second direction F2, different from the first direction F1. There are multiple wind deflectors 30, with each air outlet zone 1121 corresponding to a specific wind deflector 30. Each wind deflector 30 is used to open or block its corresponding air outlet zone 1121. By controlling each wind deflector 30 to open or block its corresponding air outlet zone 1121, each air outlet zone 1121 can be controlled to be in a windless air outlet state or a direct airflow state to meet different user needs.

[0089] In addition, by adjusting parameters such as the number and area of ​​multiple air outlet zones 1121 and the baffle 30, the position and size of the corresponding air outlet area of ​​each air outlet zone 1121 can be adjusted to achieve precise air delivery of multiple air outlet zones 1121, which is conducive to realizing zoned air delivery of the air conditioner indoor unit 100 according to user needs and meeting user usage requirements.

[0090] In some embodiments, such as Figures 1-7 and Figures 10-16 As shown, the wind deflector 30 is an arc-shaped plate, and the first direction F1 is the arc-shaped extension direction of the arc-shaped plate, so that the wind deflector 30 can move along the arc-shaped extension direction of the arc-shaped plate. This allows the wind deflector 30 to gradually open or block the air outlet 112 during the movement, making it easy for the user to observe the area of ​​the air outlet 112 that is opened or blocked by the wind deflector 30. The wind deflector 30 stops after opening or blocking the air outlet 112 to the state required by the user, making the operation convenient.

[0091] The second direction F2 is parallel to the axis of the cylindrical surface where the arc-shaped plate is located, making the first direction F1 perpendicular to the second direction F2. The wind deflector 30 is movable along the first direction F1, and multiple wind deflectors 30 and multiple air outlet zones 1121 are arranged along the second direction F2. This can reduce mutual interference between multiple wind deflectors 30 during their movement, and facilitate independent control of the air outlet situation of each air outlet zone 1121 (such as windless air outlet and direct airflow), resulting in better zoned air outlet effect.

[0092] In some embodiments, such as Figures 1-16 As shown, both the air outlet panel 11 and the wind deflector 30 are curved plates, making their shapes correspond. This allows the wind deflector 30 to completely cover the entire air outlet 112, which is beneficial for protecting the indoor unit 100 when it is in standby mode. In embodiments where the wind deflector 30 has multiple air diffusers, it can also completely cover the entire air outlet 112 when the indoor unit 100 is on, reducing air leakage and minimizing the possibility of direct airflow at the air outlet 112, thus achieving a better effect of windless airflow.

[0093] The baffle 30 moves along the extension direction of the air outlet panel 11 and can be set close to the air outlet panel 11. This helps to reduce the space occupied by the baffle 30 in the direction perpendicular to the extension direction of the air outlet panel 11, that is, to reduce the thickness of the baffle 30, so as to reduce the space occupied by the baffle 30 during its movement, and thus improve the structural compactness of the air conditioner indoor unit 100.

[0094] In some embodiments, such as Figures 1-2 , Figure 7 and Figures 10-16 As shown, the second direction F2 is parallel to the extension direction of the rotation axis of the air duct assembly 10. During the rotation of the air duct assembly 10, multiple air outlet zones 1121 and multiple baffles 30 rotate around the rotation axis of the air duct assembly 10, and the multiple air outlet zones 1121 and multiple baffles 30 are arranged along the extension direction of the rotation axis of the air duct assembly 10. With a fixed number of air outlet zones 1121 and baffles 30, each air outlet zone 1121 and each baffle 30 can pass through more areas, and a wider air outlet range can be achieved.

[0095] In some embodiments, such as Figures 1-6 As shown, the indoor unit 100 of the air conditioner also includes multiple sway blade assemblies 50. The multiple sway blade assemblies 50 are disposed in the air duct assembly 10 and move together with the air duct assembly 10. The positions of the multiple sway blade assemblies 50 correspond one-to-one with the positions of multiple air outlet zones 1121. Each sway blade assembly 50 includes a driving component and multiple sway blades 51. The multiple sway blades 51 are oscillatingly disposed in the air duct 121. The driving component drives the multiple sway blades 51 of the corresponding sway blade assembly 50 to oscillate synchronously.

[0096] By driving the swing blades 51 to oscillate relative to the air duct assembly 10, and by allowing the swing blades 51 to rotate together with the air duct component 12, the adjustment range of the airflow direction can be further increased to meet the user's demand for airflow from the indoor unit 100 in more directions. Through multiple swing blade assemblies 50, the airflow direction of multiple air outlet zones 1121 can be adjusted separately, achieving different airflow directions for different air outlet zones 1121, thus meeting the user's demand for airflow from the indoor unit 100 in more directions.

[0097] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 11-15As shown, the air duct assembly 10 also has a socket 151, which is located on one side of the air outlet 112 in the first direction F1 and connects the inside and outside of the ventilation duct 121, for example, connecting the air outlet 112 and the outlet 1212 of the air duct 121. During the movement of the baffle 30 relative to the air duct assembly 10 in the first direction F1, the baffle 30 at least partially passes through the socket 151 to open or block at least part of the air outlet 112. The socket 151 allows the baffle 30 to be bypassed, providing space for its movement, reducing the possibility of positional interference between the baffle 30 and the air duct assembly 10, and enabling a tight fit between the various structures of the air conditioning indoor unit 100, thus improving the structural compactness of the air conditioning indoor unit 100.

[0098] In some embodiments, such as Figures 2-7 , Figure 10 and Figure 16 As shown, the air duct assembly 10 includes an air duct component 12 and an air outlet panel 11. The air duct component 12 is rotatably disposed within the housing assembly 20 and defines an air outlet duct 121. For example, in some embodiments, such as... Figures 3-6 As shown, the air duct component 12 includes an air duct volute, which has an air duct volute tongue, an upper air duct diffuser section, and a lower air duct diffuser section. The air duct 121 is defined inside the air duct volute.

[0099] The inner side of the air outlet panel 11 is connected to the air duct component 12 and rotates together with the air duct component 12. The air outlet 112 is provided on the air outlet panel 11. The wind baffle 30 is movably provided on the inner side of the air outlet panel 11 along the first direction F1.

[0100] During the movement of the wind deflector 30 along the first direction F1, the wind deflector 30 is always located inside the air outlet panel 11. This not only reduces the interference of external impurities on the movement of the wind deflector 30 inside the air outlet panel 11, but also makes it difficult for users to see the part of the wind deflector 30 located inside the air outlet panel 11 that is not opposite to the air outlet 112, thus achieving the effect of concealing unsightly features and improving the user experience.

[0101] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 1-2 As shown, the housing assembly 20 has an opening 23, and the air outlet panel 11 is located at the opening 23 and on the outside of the housing assembly 20. During the rotation of the air duct assembly 10, the air outlet panel 11 blocks part of the opening 23, which can reduce the entry of external impurities into the interior of the air conditioning indoor unit 100, and connect the part of the opening 23 opposite to the air outlet 112 to the outlet 1212 of the ventilation duct 121 and the outside, which facilitates air outlet.

[0102] In some embodiments, such as Figures 1-2As shown, in the first direction F1, the size of the opening 23 is larger than the size of the air outlet 112, so that during the rotation of the air duct component 12, the air outlet 112 can be opposite to different areas of the opening 23, achieving multi-directional airflow. In the first direction F1, the size of the opening 23 is smaller than the size of the air outlet panel 11, so that the air outlet panel 11 can completely block the part of the opening 23 that is not opposite to the air outlet 112, reducing the possibility of external impurities entering the air conditioner indoor unit 100, which helps protect the air conditioner indoor unit 100.

[0103] The movement of the air duct component 12 can be controlled electronically. For example, when the air duct component 12 moves to a state where the air outlet 112 and the opening 23 are positioned opposite each other and connected, the air duct component 12 can be stopped from rotating. Alternatively, the air duct component 12 can be limited by a mechanical structure.

[0104] For example, in some embodiments, such as Figures 2-6 and Figures 10-16 As shown, the opening 23 has a first edge 231 and a second edge 232 that are oppositely arranged in the first direction F1. The air outlet panel 11 includes a first wind deflector 111 and a second wind deflector 113. In the first direction F1, the air outlet 112 is located between the first wind deflector 111 and the second wind deflector 113. Through the first wind deflector 111 and the second wind deflector 113 on both sides of the outlet 1212 in the first direction F1, the internal structure of the air conditioner indoor unit 100 can be shielded, reducing the possibility of external impurities entering the air conditioner indoor unit 100 and damaging its internal structure, thus protecting the air conditioner indoor unit 100.

[0105] When the duct assembly 10 abuts against the first edge 231, the second baffle 113 blocks a portion of the opening 23. When the duct assembly 10 abuts against the second edge 232, the first baffle 111 blocks a portion of the opening 23. The first edge 231 and the second edge 232 can limit the duct component 12 and thus limit the air outlet panel 11, causing the duct component 12 to stop rotating when the air outlet 112 and the opening 23 are opposite each other along the first direction F1. This improves the control precision of the rotation stroke of the duct component 12 and makes the first baffle 111 and the second baffle 113 block the part of the opening 23 that is not opposite to the air outlet 112, which helps protect the indoor unit 100 of the air conditioner.

[0106] For example, in some specific embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the housing assembly 20 includes a face frame 21 and a front panel 22. The front panel 22 covers the upper front side of the face frame 21. The lower surface of the front panel 22 is formed as a first edge 231, and the lower front surface of the face frame 21 is formed as a second edge 232.

[0107] In some embodiments, such as Figures 5-6 As shown, in the first direction F1, the sum of the dimensions of the first windbreak 111 and the air outlet 112 is greater than or equal to the dimension of the opening 23. When the air duct component 12 is rotated to a position where it abuts against the second edge 232, the first windbreak 111 can block the part of the opening 23 that is not opposite to the air outlet 112, and the baffle plate 30 can open or block the part of the opening 23 that is opposite to the air outlet 112, thereby reducing the possibility of airflow leaking outward from the part of the opening 23 that is not opposite to the air outlet 112, and making the air outlet direction at the air outlet 112 more controllable.

[0108] like Figures 3-4 As shown, the sum of the dimensions of the second windbreak 113 and the air outlet 112 is greater than or equal to the dimension of the opening 23. When the air duct component 12 is rotated to a position where it abuts against the first edge 231, the second windbreak 113 can block the part of the opening 23 that is not opposite to the air outlet 112, and the baffle plate 30 can open or block the part of the opening 23 that is opposite to the air outlet 112, thereby reducing the possibility of airflow leakage from the part of the opening 23 that is not opposite to the air outlet 112, and making the air outlet direction at the air outlet 112 more controllable.

[0109] In some embodiments, such as Figures 11-15 As shown, the socket 151 is located near the first windbreak 111. Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, when the air outlet 112 of the wind deflector 30 is open, the wind deflector 30 is located inside the first wind deflector 111, so that the wind deflector 30 is blocked by the first wind deflector 111. This makes it difficult for the wind deflector 30 to be exposed when the air outlet 112 of the wind deflector 30 is open, which can reduce the interference of external impurities on the movement of the wind deflector 30 inside the air outlet panel 11, and also has the effect of concealing unsightly features.

[0110] In the embodiment where the wind deflector 30 is provided with air dispersing holes, the possibility of external impurities clogging the air dispersing holes can be reduced, making the wind deflector 30 move more smoothly, and the air dissipation effect without wind is better when the wind deflector 30 blocks the air outlet 112.

[0111] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 2 , Figures 8-9 and Figures 11-14 As shown, the wind deflector 30 includes a body portion 31, the length of which extends along a second direction F2. The second direction F2 can be parallel to or at a certain angle to the length of the air outlet panel 11. For example, if the second direction F2 is parallel to the length of the air outlet panel 11, the length of the body portion 31 extends along the length of the air outlet panel 11, which helps to increase the size of the body portion 31 along the second direction F2, so that the body portion 31 can more completely block the entire air outlet 112.

[0112] The second direction F2 extends parallel to the rotation axis of the air duct assembly 10. During the movement of the baffle 30 relative to the air duct assembly 10 along the first direction F1, the main body 31 passes through the inlet 151 to open or block part of the air outlet 112. The inlet 151 allows the main body 31 to be bypassed, providing space for the movement of the baffle 30, reducing the possibility of positional interference between the baffle 30 and the air duct assembly 10, and ensuring a tight fit between the various structures of the indoor air conditioning unit 100.

[0113] like Figure 2 , Figures 8-9 and Figures 11-14 As shown, the wind deflector 30 also includes a connecting portion 32, which is connected to at least one end of the main body 31 along its length and located outside the air duct 121. The connecting portion 32 can be movably connected to the air duct assembly 10, allowing the wind deflector 30 to be movably disposed on the air duct assembly 10. The portion of the wind deflector 30 used for connecting to the air duct assembly 10 does not need to occupy the area of ​​the main body 31 used for opening or blocking the air outlet 112, resulting in better zoned airflow.

[0114] In embodiments where the wind deflector 30 has ventilation holes, such as Figure 2 and Figures 8-9 As shown, multiple air diffusers are provided on the main body 31. By using the connecting part 32, the part of the baffle 30 that is connected to the air duct assembly 10 does not need to occupy the space of the main body 31 for setting the air diffusers, which is conducive to meeting the requirements for the number and size of the air diffusers and improving the windless air outlet effect.

[0115] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 2 , Figures 11-14 and Figures 17-19 As shown, the indoor unit 100 of the air conditioner also includes a first transmission mechanism 62 and a first drive motor 61. The first drive motor 61 is connected to the baffle plate 30 via the first transmission mechanism 62 to drive the baffle plate 30 to move along the first direction F1. The first drive motor 61 can be a stepper motor, AC motor, DC motor, or other types of motor, and the first transmission mechanism 62 can be a gear and rack assembly, a slide rail and slider assembly, a ball screw, etc. The first transmission mechanism 62 transmits the driving force of the first drive motor 61 to the baffle plate 30 to drive the baffle plate 30 to move, which facilitates flexible adjustment of the relative position of the first drive motor 61 and the baffle plate 30, making the relative position setting of the first drive motor 61 and the baffle plate 30 more flexible, so as to adapt to the installation position of other structures within the indoor unit 100 of the air conditioner, and improve the structural compactness of the components within the indoor unit 100 of the air conditioner.

[0116] The first transmission mechanism 62 includes a first active transmission member 621 and a first driven transmission member 622 connected by a transmission link. A first drive motor 61 and the first active transmission member 621 are located on the air duct assembly 10, and the first driven transmission member 622 is located on the connecting portion 32. Through the transmission connection between the first active transmission member 621 and the first driven transmission member 622, the first drive motor 61 drives the first active transmission member 621 to move, thereby causing the first driven transmission member 622 to move. This, in turn, causes the connecting portion 32 to move relative to the air duct assembly 10, thus enabling the baffle plate 30 to move relative to the air duct assembly 10. This indirect cooperation between the first drive motor 61 and the baffle plate 30 allows for flexible adjustment of their relative positions via the first active transmission member 621 and the first driven transmission member 622. This makes the relative position setting of the first drive motor 61 and the baffle plate 30 more flexible, adapting to the installation positions of other structures within the air conditioner indoor unit 100 and improving the structural compactness of the components within the air conditioner indoor unit 100.

[0117] The first drive motor 61 and the first active transmission component 621 are located on the air duct assembly 10, so that the first drive motor 61 and the first active transmission component 621 do not need to move together during the movement of the baffle plate 30 relative to the air duct assembly 10, which can reduce the load on the baffle plate 30 and make it easier to drive the baffle plate 30 to move.

[0118] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 , Figures 11-14 and Figures 17-19 As shown, the first drive motor 61 is connected to the connecting part 32 via the first transmission mechanism 62. The first drive motor 61 and the first transmission mechanism 62 can be located on one side of the main body 31 along its own length direction, without occupying the area of ​​the main body 31 used to open or block the air outlet 112. The zoned air outlet effect achieved by the baffle plate 30 is better.

[0119] In the embodiment where the wind deflector 30 is provided with ventilation holes, the first drive motor 61 and the first transmission mechanism 62 are located on one side of the main body 31 along its own length direction. This also eliminates the need to occupy the space of the main body 31 used for setting ventilation holes, which is beneficial to ensure that the number and size of the ventilation holes meet the requirements and the windless air outlet effect is better.

[0120] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 , Figures 11-14 and Figures 17-19As shown, the first active transmission component 621 includes one or more first gears 6211, and the first driven transmission component 622 includes a first rack 6221 extending along the first direction F1. The driving force of the first drive motor 61 is transmitted through the meshing of the first gears 6211 and the first rack 6221, achieving high transmission accuracy and facilitating precise control of parameters such as the movement speed of the baffle 30. For example, adjusting the size and number of the first gears 6211 allows for flexible adjustment of the relative position of the air duct assembly 10 and the baffle 30, and adjusting parameters such as the number of teeth of the first gears 6211 and the first rack 6221 allows for adjustment of the transmission ratio of the first transmission mechanism 62, facilitating the adjustment of the movement speed of the baffle 30.

[0121] The length of the connecting part 32 extends along the first direction F1. One end of the connecting part 32 is connected to the main body part 31 through the connecting rib 34. The first rack 6221 is provided on the connecting part 32 and extends along the length of the connecting part 32. The length of the first rack 6221 can be extended to extend the movable path of the connecting part 32 along the first direction F1, that is, to extend the movable path of the wind deflector 30, so as to realize a larger air outlet range of zoned air outlet.

[0122] In some embodiments, such as Figures 9-14 As shown, at the same wind deflector 30, there are two connecting parts 32 and two first drive motors 61. The two connecting parts 32 are connected to both ends of the main body 31 along its length. The two first drive motors 61 are respectively connected to the two first transmission mechanisms 62 in a one-to-one manner, and the two first drive motors 61 are respectively connected to the two connecting parts 32 in a one-to-one manner, so that the two first drive motors 61 can drive the wind deflector 30 to move simultaneously at both ends of its length, resulting in a greater driving force on the wind deflector 30 and making it easier to drive the wind deflector 30 to move.

[0123] In some embodiments, such as Figures 7-8 and Figure 16 As shown, the air duct assembly 10 has a groove 122 extending along the first direction F1. At the same baffle plate 30, one end of the main body 31 in the length direction is provided with a connecting part 32 and the other end is provided with a sliding part or a rolling part 35. The connecting part 32 can be connected to the first drive motor 61 for transmission. The sliding part or the rolling part 35 is used to move in cooperation with the groove 122. Specifically, the sliding part slides in cooperation with the groove 122, and the rolling part 35 rolls in cooperation with the groove 122. Moreover, the friction between the rolling part 35 and the groove 122 is small, making the rolling cooperation between the rolling part 35 and the groove 122 easier and less effort to achieve. The rolling part 35 can also move along the first direction F1 with the main body 31 more easily. The rolling part 35 can be a bearing or other components.

[0124] To make the following description more concise, we will take the example of having a rolling part 35 at the other end of the body part 31 along its own length direction. According to the following description, an embodiment in which a sliding part is provided at the other end of the body part 31 along its own length direction is also readily available.

[0125] The wind deflector 30 is movably connected to the air duct assembly 10 via the connecting part 32, so that the wind deflector 30 is driven by a force moving in the first direction F1 at the connecting part 32, causing the connecting part 32 and the main body 31 to move in the first direction F1. This causes the rolling part 35 to roll into the groove 122, so that the rolling part 35 moves together with the main body 31 in the first direction F1. The rolling part 35 provides an auxiliary function for the movement of the wind deflector 30. The connecting part 32 enables the wind deflector 30 to be driven by a force moving in the first direction F1, and the rolling part 35 can move together with the main body 31 through the rolling engagement with the groove 122, so that the wind deflector 30 as a whole moves in the first direction F1. The wind deflector 30 can move in the first direction F1 with only one-sided drive. The number of drive structures required to drive the wind deflector 30, such as the first drive motor 61, is small, which helps to reduce the installation space required for the drive structure and reduce the cost of the air conditioning indoor unit 100.

[0126] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 2 and Figures 19-21 As shown, the indoor unit 100 of the air conditioner also includes a second transmission mechanism 72 and a second drive motor 71. The second drive motor 71 is connected to the duct assembly 10 via the second transmission mechanism 72 to drive the duct assembly 10 to rotate. The second drive motor 71 can be a stepper motor, AC motor, DC motor, or other types of motor, and the second transmission mechanism 72 can be a gear and rack assembly, a slide rail and slider assembly, a ball screw, etc. The second transmission mechanism 72 transmits the driving force of the second drive motor 71 to the duct assembly 10 to drive the duct assembly 10 to rotate. This allows for flexible adjustment of the relative positions of the second drive motor 71 and the duct assembly 10, making the relative position setting of the second drive motor 71 and the duct assembly 10 more flexible, so as to adapt to the installation positions of other structures within the indoor unit 100, and to improve the structural compactness of the components within the indoor unit 100.

[0127] The second transmission mechanism 72 includes a second active transmission component 721 and a second driven transmission component 722 connected by transmission. The second drive motor 71 and the second active transmission component 721 are located on the housing assembly 20, and the second driven transmission component 722 is located on the air duct component 12.

[0128] Through the transmission connection between the second active transmission member 721 and the second driven transmission member 722, the second drive motor 71 drives the second active transmission member 721 to move, thereby driving the second driven transmission member 722 to move, and in turn driving the air duct assembly 10 to rotate relative to the housing assembly 20. This indirect cooperation between the second drive motor 71 and the air duct assembly 10 allows for flexible adjustment of their relative positions via the second active transmission member 721 and the second driven transmission member 722. This makes the relative position setting of the second drive motor 71 and the air duct assembly 10 more flexible, accommodating the installation positions of other structures within the air conditioner indoor unit 100, and improving the structural compactness of the components within the air conditioner indoor unit 100.

[0129] The second drive motor 71 and the second active transmission component 721 are disposed on the housing assembly 20, so that the second drive motor 71 and the second active transmission component 721 do not need to rotate together during the rotation of the air duct component 12 relative to the housing assembly 20, which can reduce the load on the air duct component 12 and make it easier to drive the air duct component 12 to rotate.

[0130] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 and Figures 19-21 As shown, the second active transmission component 721 includes at least one second gear 7211, and the second driven transmission component 722 includes a second rack 7221 extending along the first direction F1. The driving force of the second drive motor 71 is transmitted through the meshing of the second gear 7211 and the second rack 7221, achieving high transmission accuracy and facilitating precise control of parameters such as the rotational speed of the air duct component 12. For example, adjusting the size and number of the second gear 7211 allows for flexible adjustment of the relative position of the housing assembly 20 and the air duct component 12; adjusting parameters such as the number of teeth of the second gear 7211 and the second rack 7221 allows for adjustment of the transmission ratio of the second transmission mechanism 72, facilitating the adjustment of the rotational speed of the air duct component 12.

[0131] In some embodiments, such as Figures 3-7 and Figures 10-16 As shown, the air duct assembly 10 includes a connecting seat 15, which is connected to the inner side of the air outlet panel 11 and surrounds the air outlet 112. The connecting seat 15 is used to connect the air outlet panel 11 and the air duct component 12. The connecting seat 15 connects the air outlet panel 11 to the outer side of the air duct component 12, so that the airflow in the air duct component 12 flows to the outside through the air outlet 112 of the air outlet panel 11. The connecting seat 15 surrounds the air outlet 112, which can firmly connect the edge of the air outlet 112 to the air duct component 12, reducing the possibility of air leakage between the air outlet panel 11 and the air duct component 12, and allowing more airflow in the air duct component 12 to flow to the air outlet 112 and then to the outside, which helps to improve the heating or cooling efficiency of the air conditioning indoor unit 100.

[0132] In some embodiments, such as Figures 3-7 and Figures 10-16 As shown, the socket 151 is located between the connector 15 and the first windbreak portion 111 of the air outlet panel 11, so that a portion of the windbreak plate 30 can be disposed at the socket 151 to place the windbreak plate 30 inside the air outlet panel 11.

[0133] The air duct component 12 is connected to the air outlet panel 11 via the connecting seat 15, while the body portion 31 of the baffle 30 is located between the connecting seat 15 and the air outlet panel 11. The connecting portion 32 of the baffle 30 is located on the side of the connecting seat 15 away from the air outlet 112 and the body portion 31. This causes the portion between the body portion 31 and the connecting portion 32 to interfere with the portion of the connecting seat 15 connected to the air outlet panel 11 during the movement of the baffle 30 relative to the connecting seat 15 and the air outlet panel 11, hindering the movement of the baffle 30. However, in some embodiments of this utility model, such as... Figures 8-9 and Figures 11-14 As shown, a clearance groove 33 with an open opening is defined between the connecting part 32 and the main body part 31. The clearance groove 33 is used to avoid the connecting seat 15, so that the wind deflector 30 is less likely to interfere with the position of the connecting seat 15 during the movement, and the process of the wind deflector 30 moving to block or open the air outlet 112 is smoother and the air outlet effect is better.

[0134] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 and Figures 6-7 As shown, in the first direction F1, the size of the main body 31 is greater than or equal to the size of the air outlet 112, so that the baffle 30 can completely block the air outlet 112 when it is in the state of blocking the air outlet 112, reducing other air leakage areas and also helping to protect the internal structure of the air conditioner indoor unit 100.

[0135] like Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figures 11-14 As shown, in the first direction F1, the size of the main body 31 is less than or equal to the size of the first wind deflector 111, so that the wind deflector 30 is in the state of having the air outlet 112 open. The first wind deflector 111 can completely cover the part of the wind deflector 30 that is not opposite to the air outlet 112, so that the wind deflector 30 is not easily exposed, which can reduce the interference of external impurities on the movement of the wind deflector 30 inside the air outlet panel 11, and can also play a role in concealing ugliness.

[0136] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 8-9 and Figures 11-14As shown, one of the inner side of the air outlet panel 11 and the wind deflector 30 has a limiting groove 114 extending along the first direction F1, and the other has a limiting part 321 that cooperates with the limiting groove 114. Through the cooperation of the limiting groove 114 and the limiting part 321, the movement of the wind deflector 30 relative to the air outlet panel 11 can be guided, so that the movement of the wind deflector 30 is not easily deviated in directions other than the first direction F1. The wind deflector 30 can accurately open or block part or all of the air outlet 112, and the air outlet effect is more controllable.

[0137] For example, in some embodiments, such as Figures 8-9 and Figures 11-14 As shown, the inner side of the air outlet panel 11 has a limiting groove 114, and a part of the connecting part 32 is a limiting part 321. There is no need to add a new structure to the wind deflector 30 to form the limiting part 321. The limiting part 321 can be formed by the connecting part 32 itself and can cooperate with the limiting groove 114, which helps to simplify the structure of the air conditioner indoor unit 100.

[0138] In some embodiments where the number of wind deflectors 30 is one, such as Figures 9-14 As shown, the air outlet panel 11 has two limiting grooves 114, and the wind deflector 30 has two limiting parts 321. The two limiting grooves 114 and the two limiting parts 321 are matched one-to-one to limit the wind deflector 30 between the two limiting grooves 114, so that the wind deflector 30 is not easily deviated in any direction other than the first direction F1 during the movement, and the operation of the wind deflector 30 to block or open the air outlet 112 is more stable.

[0139] In some embodiments where the number of wind deflectors 30 is two, such as Figures 1-8 and Figures 15-16 As shown, the air outlet panel 11 has two limiting grooves 114, and the two wind deflectors 30 each have a limiting part 321. One end of each wind deflector 30 is engaged with the limiting groove 114 through the limiting part 321, and the other end is limited by other structures such as the groove 122 of the air duct component 12, so as to limit the two wind deflectors 30 between the two limiting grooves 114, so that the wind deflectors 30 are not easily deviated in other directions other than the first direction F1 during the movement.

[0140] In some embodiments, such as Figures 1-8 and Figures 15-27As shown, the air outlet 112 includes two air outlet zones 1121, and there are two baffles 30 and two sway vane assemblies 50. The baffles 30 have multiple spaced-apart air diffusers. The positions of the two baffles 30 and the two air outlet zones 1121 correspond one-to-one, and the positions of the two sway vane assemblies 50 and the two air outlet zones 1121 also correspond one-to-one. By adjusting the state of the two baffles 30 opening or blocking the corresponding air outlet zones 1121, and by adjusting the swing direction of the sway vanes 51 contained in each of the two sway vane assemblies 50, different operating modes of the indoor unit 100 can be achieved to meet more of the user's air supply needs.

[0141] For example Figure 23 As shown, adjusting both baffles 30 opens the corresponding air outlet zones 1121, and the sway blades 51 contained in each of the two sway blade assemblies 50 swing forward, entering the normal mode of the air conditioner indoor unit 100. This causes the airflow at the air outlet 112 to blow directly forward, resulting in high heating or cooling efficiency of the air conditioner indoor unit 100.

[0142] For example Figure 24 As shown, adjusting both air deflectors 30 opens the corresponding air outlet zones 1121. The blades 51 of each of the two oscillating assemblies 50 swing to the sides. For example, the blades 51 of the left oscillating assembly 50 swing to the left, and the blades 51 of the right oscillating assembly 50 swing to the right, entering the direct-blowing, windless mode of the indoor unit 100. This directs the airflow at the air outlet 112 to the left and right sides, resulting in high heating or cooling efficiency of the indoor unit 100. Furthermore, users located in front of the indoor unit 100 are less likely to experience direct airflow, leading to greater user comfort.

[0143] For example Figure 25 As shown, by adjusting both deflectors 30 to block the corresponding air outlet area 1121, the air conditioner indoor unit 100 enters the all-area windless mode. This causes the large airflow at the air outlet 112 to be divided into multiple smaller airflows by the diffuser holes before being blown outwards, making the user less likely to be exposed to direct airflow and providing a more comfortable experience.

[0144] For example Figure 26 As shown, adjusting the left wind deflector 30 to block the left air outlet area 1121 and the right wind deflector 30 to open the right air outlet area 1121 causes the oscillator 51 to swing to the right, entering the zoned windless mode of the air conditioner indoor unit 100. This causes the large airflow on the left side of the air outlet 112 to be divided into multiple smaller airflows and blown outwards by the diffuser holes, while the airflow on the right side of the air outlet 112 blows directly to the right. This results in high heating or cooling efficiency of the air conditioner indoor unit 100, and users located in front of and to the left of the air conditioner indoor unit 100 are less likely to be exposed to direct airflow, making the user experience more comfortable.

[0145] For example Figure 27As shown, adjusting the left wind deflector 30 opens the left air outlet area 1121, while the right wind deflector 30 blocks the right air outlet area 1121. The oscillating blades 51 swing to the left, entering the zoned windless mode of the indoor unit 100. This directs the airflow from the left side of the air outlet 112 directly to the left, while the large airflow from the right side of the air outlet 112 is divided into multiple smaller airflows by the diffuser holes before being blown outwards. This results in high heating or cooling efficiency of the indoor unit 100, and users located in front of and to the right of the indoor unit 100 are less likely to experience direct airflow, making the user experience more comfortable.

[0146] In some embodiments, the indoor fan 41 is a cross-flow fan, and a fixing seat is provided on each of the left and right sides of the air duct component 12. The cross-flow fan is rotatably connected to the air duct component 10 through the fixing seat. One of the fixing seats has a small notch and is nearly a complete circle, which facilitates the installation of the cross-flow fan and makes it difficult for the cross-flow fan to detach from the fixing seat.

[0147] In some embodiments, such as Figures 2-6 As shown, the indoor unit 100 of the air conditioner also includes a heater 421, which is located in the indoor heat exchanger 42. The heater 421 can be turned on when the indoor unit 100 of the air conditioner is in heating operation to provide auxiliary heating and improve heating efficiency.

[0148] The air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present invention is characterized by including an indoor unit 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention. Since the indoor unit 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention has the aforementioned beneficial technical effects, the air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present invention, by rotatably mounting the air duct assembly 10 within the housing assembly 20, can directly change the position of the air outlet 112 to change the airflow direction, achieving multi-directional airflow from the indoor unit 100. This results in a large airflow range and low noise. Furthermore, the air outlet 112 can be partitioned by the baffle plate 12, providing diverse airflow patterns to meet the needs of more users and improve the user experience.

[0149] The following describes in detail, with reference to the accompanying drawings, a specific embodiment of the air conditioner indoor unit 100 and the air conditioner according to the present invention. It is to be understood that the following description is merely illustrative and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0150] like Figures 1-8 and Figures 15-27 As shown, an indoor air conditioning unit 100 according to a specific embodiment of the present invention is used in an air conditioner. The indoor air conditioning unit 100 includes an air duct assembly 10, a housing assembly 20, an air baffle 30, an indoor fan 41, an indoor heat exchanger 42, a chassis 43, a swivel assembly 50, a first drive motor 61, a first transmission mechanism 62, a second drive motor 71, and a second transmission mechanism 72.

[0151] The housing assembly 20 includes a face frame 21 and a front panel 22. The face frame 21 has an air inlet 211, and the front panel 22 covers the upper front side of the face frame 21. The housing assembly 20 has an opening 23, which has a first edge 231 and a second edge 232 disposed opposite to each other in a first direction F1. The lower front surface of the face frame 21 is formed as the first edge 231, and the lower surface of the front panel 22 is formed as the second edge 232.

[0152] The chassis 43 is housed within the housing assembly 20, and the air duct assembly 10 is rotatably mounted on the chassis 43 along the first direction F1 via the second drive motor 71 and the second transmission mechanism 72. The air duct assembly 10 includes an air outlet panel 11, an air duct component 12, and a connecting seat 15. The air duct component 12 defines an air outlet duct 121. The inlet 1211 of the air duct 121 communicates with the air inlet 211, and the outlet 1212 of the air duct 121 communicates with the air outlet 112 of the air outlet panel 11.

[0153] The air outlet panel 11 is located on the lower front side of the faceplate 21 and covers the outer side of the housing assembly 20. The inner side of the air outlet panel 11 is connected to the air duct component 12 via the connecting seat 15. The air outlet panel 11 includes a first wind deflector 111, an air outlet 112, and a second wind deflector 113. The first wind deflector 111 and the second wind deflector 113 are arranged in a first direction F1, with the first wind deflector 111 located in front of and above the second wind deflector 113. The air outlet 112 is located between the first wind deflector 111 and the second wind deflector 113.

[0154] An air outlet panel 11 is located at the opening 23 and on the outside of the housing assembly 20. During the rotation of the air duct assembly 10, the air outlet panel 11 blocks a portion of the opening 23. When the connecting seat 15 of the air duct assembly 10 abuts against the first edge 231, the second baffle 113 blocks a portion of the opening 23. When the connecting seat 15 abuts against the second edge 232, the first baffle 111 blocks a portion of the opening 23.

[0155] In the first direction F1, the size of the opening 23 is larger than the size of the air outlet 112 and smaller than the size of the air outlet panel 11. The sum of the sizes of the first wind deflector 111 and the air outlet 112 is greater than the size of the opening 23. The sum of the sizes of the second wind deflector 113 and the air outlet 112 is greater than the size of the opening 23.

[0156] The connector 15 is arranged around the air outlet 112. There is a socket 151 between the connector 15 and the air outlet panel 11. The socket 151 is located on one side of the air outlet 112 in the first direction F1 and connects the inside and outside of the ventilation duct 121, that is, it connects the outlet 1212 of the air outlet 112 and the air duct 121.

[0157] The second drive motor 71 is connected to the air duct component 12 via the second transmission mechanism 72 to drive the air duct component 12 to rotate relative to the housing assembly 20. The second transmission mechanism 72 includes a second active transmission member 721 and a second driven transmission member 722 connected by transmission. The second active transmission member 721 includes a second gear 7211, and the second driven transmission member 722 includes a second rack 7221 extending along the first direction F1. The second drive motor 71 and the second gear 7211 are located in the chassis 43 inside the housing assembly 20, and the second rack 7221 is located in the air duct component 12.

[0158] The oscillating blade assembly 50 is disposed on the air duct component 12 and rotates together with the air duct component 12. The oscillating blade assembly 50 includes a driving component and multiple oscillating blades 51. The multiple oscillating blades 51 are oscillatingly disposed in the air duct 121. The driving component drives the multiple oscillating blades 51 of the same oscillating blade assembly 50 to oscillate synchronously.

[0159] A baffle plate 30 is disposed on the air duct assembly 10 and rotates with the air duct assembly 10. The baffle plate 30 is slidably disposed on the inner side of the air outlet panel 11 along the first direction F1 to open or block at least part of the air outlet 112. The baffle plate 30 includes a body portion 31, a connecting portion 32, and a rolling portion 35. The body portion 31 has a plurality of spaced air diffusers, and the length direction of the body portion 31 extends along the second direction F2. One end of the body portion 31 along its own length direction is connected to the connecting portion 32 by a connecting rib 34, and the other end is provided with a rolling portion 35. The connecting portion 32 is used to connect with the first transmission mechanism 62, and the rolling portion 35 is used to movably engage with the groove 122 of the air duct component 12. The connecting portion 32 is located on the side of the connecting seat 15 away from the air outlet 112. An open clearance groove 33 is defined between the connecting portion 32 and the body portion 31, and the clearance groove 33 is used to avoid the connecting seat 15. The length of the connecting part 32 extends along the first direction F1, and one end of the connecting part 32 in the length direction is connected to the main body part 31 through the connecting rib 34.

[0160] The air outlet panel 11 has a limiting groove 114 extending along the first direction F1 at each end along the second direction F2. Each baffle plate 30 has a limiting part 321 at one end along the second direction F2 and a rolling part 35 at the other end. A part of the connecting part 32 is the limiting part 321. One end of the baffle plate 30 is engaged with the limiting groove 114 through the limiting part 321, and the other end is engaged with the groove 122 of the air duct component 12 through the rolling part 35, so as to limit the two baffle plates 30 between the two limiting grooves 114. The rolling part 35 is a sliding bearing.

[0161] The insertion port 151 is located between the first windbreak portion 111 and the connecting seat 15. During the sliding of the wind deflector 30 relative to the air duct assembly 10 along the first direction F1, the main body 31 passes through the insertion port 151 to open or block at least part of the air outlet 112. When the air outlet 112 is open, the wind deflector 30 is located inside the first windbreak portion 111. In the first direction F1, the size of the main body 31 is greater than or equal to the size of the air outlet 112, and the size of the main body 31 is less than or equal to the size of the first wind deflector 111.

[0162] The first drive motor 61 is connected to the connecting portion 32 of the wind deflector 30 via the first transmission mechanism 62, for driving the wind deflector 30 to slide along the first direction F1. The first transmission mechanism 62 includes a first driving transmission member 621 and a first driven transmission member 622. The first drive motor 61 and the first driving transmission member 621 are disposed on the connecting seat 15, and the first driven transmission member 622 is disposed on the connecting portion 32. The first driving transmission member 621 includes two first gears 6211, and the first driven transmission member 622 includes a first rack 6221 extending along the first direction F1.

[0163] The air outlet 112 includes two air outlet zones 1121 arranged along the second direction F2. There are two baffles 30, arranged along the second direction F2 and corresponding one-to-one with the positions of the two air outlet zones 1121. The two baffles 30 are used to open or block the corresponding air outlet zone 1121. There are two oscillating blade assemblies 50, arranged along the second direction F2 and corresponding one-to-one with the positions of the two air outlet zones 1121. Each oscillating blade assembly 50 includes a driving component and oscillating blades 51. The driving component drives the multiple oscillating blades 51 of the corresponding oscillating blade assembly 50 to rotate synchronously, so that the oscillation of the oscillating blades 51 contained in each of the two oscillating blade assemblies 50 is independent. The two oscillating blade assemblies 50 are used to guide the airflow at the corresponding air outlet zone 1121.

[0164] Both the indoor fan 41 and the indoor heat exchanger 42 are located on the chassis 43. The indoor fan 41 is located at the inlet 1211 of the air duct 121. In the direction of air flow, the indoor heat exchanger 42 is located between the indoor fan 41 and the air inlet 211.

[0165] Both the air outlet panel 11 and the baffle plate 30 are arc-shaped plates. The first direction F1 is the arc extension direction of the arc-shaped plate, and the second direction F2 is parallel to the axis of the cylindrical surface where the arc-shaped plate is located. The extension direction of the rotation axis of the air duct assembly 10 is parallel to the axis of the cylindrical surface where the arc-shaped plate is located. The rotation axis of the indoor fan 41, the central axis of the cylindrical surface where the air outlet panel 11 is located, the central axis of the cylindrical surface where the baffle plate 30 is located, and the rotation axis of the air duct component 12 coincide.

[0166] During the operation of the indoor unit 100 of the air conditioner, the outside airflow enters the interior of the indoor unit 100 through the air inlet 211 and then flows through the indoor heat exchanger 42 for heat exchange. Combined with the indoor fan 41, the airflow entering from the air inlet 211 is heat exchanged as much as possible. The heat-exchanged airflow enters the air duct 121 through the inlet 1211 and flows to the air outlet 112 through the outlet 1212 of the air duct 121, so as to flow to the outside through the air outlet 112.

[0167] During the operation of the indoor unit 100 of the air conditioner, the airflow sensation can be altered by sliding the baffle 30, achieving either windless airflow or direct airflow. For example... Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 25 As shown, the wind deflector 30 blocks the air outlet 112, causing the large airflow at the air outlet 112 to be divided into multiple smaller airflows by multiple air diffusers, achieving windless airflow throughout the entire area, making the user feel more comfortable.

[0168] For example Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figures 23-24 As shown, the baffle 30 opens the air outlet 112, allowing the airflow at the air outlet 112 to flow directly to the outside, achieving the normal mode of airflow to the outside, and the heating and cooling efficiency of the air conditioner indoor unit 100 is high.

[0169] Of course, it can also be like Figures 26-27 As shown, one wind deflector 30 is opened to the corresponding air outlet area 1121, while the other wind deflector 30 is closed to the corresponding air outlet area 1121, thereby achieving zoned, windless air outlet and meeting more user needs.

[0170] During the operation of the indoor unit 100 of the air conditioner, the air outlet direction can also be changed by the swing of the swivel blades 51 to achieve multi-directional air outlet. For example Figure 23 As shown, the blades 51 of both blade assemblies 50 are made to swing forward to achieve a direct airflow. For example... Figure 24 As shown, the blades 51 of the two blade assemblies 50 are swung to both sides to achieve a direct, windless blowing effect. Of course, the swaying direction of the blades 51 included in each of the two blade assemblies 50 can also be other directions to meet the air outlet needs of more directions.

[0171] During the operation of the indoor unit 100 of the air conditioner, the airflow direction can be changed by rotating the duct component 12 to achieve vertical airflow. For example... Figures 3-4 In the indicated state, the air duct component 12 rotates until the air outlet 112 is at its highest position, causing the airflow to rise. In particular, during the cooling process, the upward airflow, coupled with the downward flow of cold air due to gravity, accelerates indoor air circulation, significantly improving the indoor cooling speed and temperature uniformity.

[0172] For example Figures 5-6 As shown, the air duct component 12 rotates until the air outlet 112 is at its lowest position, causing the airflow to be directed downwards. In particular, during heating operation, directing the hot air downwards and closer to the wall facilitates a stronger Coanda effect, making the hot air stream more concentrated and increasing the air volume. This results in better ground penetration of the hot air, a longer rolling distance along the ground, and, since hot air is lighter than cold air, it rises under gravity, increasing the rate of temperature rise in the foot warmer and the room, and significantly improving the uniformity of indoor temperature.

[0173] Of course, the air duct component 12 can also be rotated to a middle position where the air outlet 112 is neither at the top nor the bottom. By rotating the air duct component 12, the airflow direction can be changed, resulting in a large airflow range and enabling various air supply modes.

[0174] By sliding the two baffles 30, swinging the blades 51 contained in each of the two oscillating blade assemblies 50, and rotating the air duct component 12, multiple air outlet modes can be achieved to meet various user needs, making it highly practical.

[0175] The air conditioner indoor unit 100 and other components and operations of the air conditioner according to the embodiments of the present invention are known to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here.
