Furthermore, the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments or examples. Moreover, without contradiction, those skilled in the art can combine and integrate the different embodiments or examples described in this specification, as well as the features of different embodiments or examples.

[0048] The following is combined with Figures 1-13 This invention describes the indoor unit of an air conditioner.

[0049] An embodiment of the first aspect of this utility model provides an indoor unit for an air conditioner, such as... Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the indoor unit of the air conditioner includes a housing 100, and a first air guide plate 600 and a second air guide plate 300 disposed on the housing 100.

[0050] The housing 100 has an air inlet 131 and a first air outlet 111. A first air guide plate 600 is rotatably disposed on the first side of the air inlet 131 and is used to open or close the first side of the air inlet 131. A second air guide plate 300 is slidably disposed on the housing 100 and is adapted to switch between a first position and a second position. In the first position, the second air guide plate 300 is disposed on the second side of the air inlet 131. In the second position, the second air guide plate 300 is disposed away from the second side of the air inlet 131.

[0051] Understandably, the first side of the air inlet 131 serves as the first air intake area, and the first air guide plate 600 is rotatably disposed in the first air intake area to open or close the first air intake area; the second side of the air inlet 131 serves as the second air intake area, and the second air guide plate 300 is disposed in the second air intake area to open or close the second air intake area. The air intake volume of the air inlet 131 can be adjusted by the first air guide plate 600 and the second air guide plate 300.

[0052] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, in the initial state, when the first air guide plate 600 opens the first air inlet area and the second air guide plate 300 is in the first position to close the second air inlet area, a small air intake can be achieved; as Figure 7 As shown, when the first air guide plate 600 opens the first air intake area and the second air guide plate 300 is in the second position to open the second air intake area, the maximum air intake volume can be achieved.

[0053] It is understandable that the second air guide plate 300, during the switching between the first and second positions, adjusts the airflow volume of the second air intake area. Therefore, the second air guide plate 300 can open the entire second air intake area or only a portion of it, effectively adjusting the airflow according to user needs to achieve the best user experience. It should be noted that during the switching between the first and second positions of the second air guide plate 300, the first air intake area can be opened or closed, such as... Figure 6 As shown, the first air guide plate 600 closes the first air intake area, and the second air guide plate 300 opens the second air intake area.

[0054] The air conditioner indoor unit provided in this embodiment of the utility model is rotatably mounted on the first side of the air inlet 131 via a first air guide plate 600, which is used to open or close the first side of the air inlet 131. The unit is slidably mounted on the casing 100 via a second air guide plate 300, which is adapted to switch between a first position and a second position to effectively adjust the air volume according to user needs and achieve the best user experience.

[0055] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 5 and Figure 8 As shown, the second air guide plate 300 is disposed at the air inlet 131 of the housing 100 via the driving component 400. The driving component 400 drives the second air guide plate 300 to move in the horizontal direction to adjust the air intake volume.

[0056] Optionally, the drive component 400 includes a first drive element 410, a gear 420, and a rack 430. The first drive element 410 is disposed on the housing 100, the gear 420 is disposed at the output of the first drive element 410, and the rack 430 is disposed on the second air guide plate 300. The rack 430 is arranged in a horizontal direction and meshes with the gear 420. The first drive element 410 is a motor. The first drive element 410 drives the gear 420 to rotate, thereby driving the rack 430 to move in a horizontal direction, thereby realizing the movement of the second air guide plate 300 in a horizontal direction relative to the housing 100 to adjust the air intake volume.

[0057] Preferred, such as 2 and Figure 9 As shown, the second air guide plate 300 is provided with driving components 400 at both ends in the vertical direction to improve the stability of the movement of the second air guide plate 300.

[0058] In one embodiment of the present invention, a guide component is provided between the second air guide plate 300 and the housing 100, so that the second air guide plate 300 is slidably disposed on the air inlet 131 of the housing 100 through the guide component, and the guide component is used to guide the second air guide plate 300 to move in the horizontal direction.

[0059] Optional, such as Figure 4 and Figure 9 As shown, the guide component includes a matching guide rail 310 and a slider 150. The guide rail 310 is disposed on the second air guide plate 300 and is parallel to the rack 430. The slider 150 is disposed on the housing 100.

[0060] Preferably, the guide components are multiple components arranged at vertical intervals.

[0061] In one embodiment of the present invention, the housing 100 is provided with a first limiting member, and the second air guide plate 300 is provided with a second limiting member that cooperates with the first limiting member. In the first position or the second position, the second limiting member abuts against the first limiting member.

[0062] Understandably, the second air guide plate 300 is provided with second limiting members at both ends along the horizontal direction. In the first position, one of the second limiting members abuts against the first limiting member; in the second position, the other second limiting member abuts against the first limiting member, thereby limiting the movement of the second air guide plate 300.

[0063] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 4 As shown, the housing 100 has a first sidewall 110 and a third sidewall 130 facing each other. The first sidewall 110 has a first air outlet 111, and the third sidewall 130 has an air inlet 131. An air cavity 140 is formed inside the housing 100, communicating with the air inlet 131 and the first air outlet 111. Vertical louvers 500 are disposed within the air cavity 140. The vertical louvers 500 are mounted on the housing 100 via louver pivots. A second driving member is connected to the louver pivots to drive them to rotate, thereby improving airflow. It should be noted that in other embodiments, the air inlet 131 may also be two openings on the third sidewall 130 of the housing 100, with a second air guide plate 300 disposed in one opening and a first air guide plate disposed in the other opening.

[0064] Furthermore, such as Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, the housing 100 has a second sidewall 120 connected between the first sidewall 110 and the third sidewall 130. The second sidewall 120 has a second air outlet 121, and the second air outlet 121 is provided with an air guide 200. The air guide 200 has an air outlet duct 210. The air guide 200 is rotatably mounted on the housing 100 and is adapted to switch between a first air guide position and a second air guide position, such as... Figure 10 As shown, at the first air guide position, the air guide 200 is disposed at the second air outlet 121, and the air outlet duct 210 is connected to the interior of the housing 100; as Figure 11 As shown, at the second air guide position, the air guide 200 closes the second air outlet 121, and the air outlet duct 210 is disconnected from the inside of the housing 100.

[0065] It is understood that the casing 100 has a first air outlet 111 and a second air outlet 121. The first air outlet 111 and the second air outlet 121 are arranged on two connected side walls of the casing 100, so that the air outlet directions of the first air outlet 111 and the second air outlet 121 are different. The first air outlet 111 can serve as the main air outlet of the indoor unit of the air conditioner, and the second air outlet 121 can serve as the auxiliary air outlet of the indoor unit of the air conditioner. An air guide 200 is provided at the second air outlet 121, and the air guide 200 can cut between the second air guide position and the first air guide position. Alternatively, when the air guide 200 is in the second air guide position, the air guide 200 closes the second air outlet 121, and the indoor unit of the air conditioner only supplies air through the first air outlet 111; when the air guide 200 is in the first air guide position, the air guide 200 is set at the second air outlet 121, and the air outlet duct 210 is connected to the inside of the casing 100, and the indoor unit of the air conditioner supplies air through the first air outlet 111 and the air outlet duct 210; in this way, two air supply methods can be realized: air supply through the first air outlet 111 and air supply through the first air outlet 111 and the air outlet duct 210 simultaneously.

[0066] It should be noted that during the rotation of the air guide 200 between the first air guide position and the second air guide position, the air outlet direction of the air outlet duct 210 changes, so that the air guide 200 can be set at any position between the first air guide position and the second air guide position to adjust the air outlet direction of the second air outlet 121, thereby realizing multiple air supply methods.

[0067] The air conditioner indoor unit provided in this embodiment of the utility model has a first air outlet 111 and a second air outlet 121 respectively provided on two side walls connected by the casing 100. An air guide 200 is provided on the second air outlet 121. The air guide 200 can switch between a first air guide position and a second air guide position. When the air guide 200 is in the second air guide position, the air guide 200 closes the second air outlet 121, so that the air conditioner indoor unit only supplies air through the first air outlet 111. When the air guide 200 is in the first air guide position, the air outlet duct 210 of the air guide 200 is connected to the inside of the casing 100, so that the air conditioner indoor unit supplies air through the first air outlet 111 and the air outlet duct 210 simultaneously. Furthermore, during the switching process between the second air guide position and the first air guide position, the air guide 200 can adjust the air outlet direction of the air outlet duct 210, thereby realizing multiple air supply modes and improving the user experience.

[0068] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 12 As shown, the air guide 200 also has a third air guide position, in which the air guide 200 opens the second air outlet 121.

[0069] It is understandable that, such as Figures 10 to 12As shown, the air guide 200 is adapted to switch between three positions, namely the second air guide position, the first air guide position, and the first air guide position.

[0070] When the air guide 200 is in the second air guide position, the air guide 200 is set at the second air outlet 121 to close the second air outlet 121, and the air outlet duct 210 is disconnected from the air cavity 140 inside the housing 100. At this time, air is delivered only through the first air outlet 111.

[0071] When the air guide 200 is in the first air guide position, the air guide 200 is set at the second air outlet 121 to close the second air outlet 121, and the air outlet duct 210 is connected to the air cavity 140 inside the housing 100; at this time, air is delivered through the first air outlet 111 and the air outlet duct 210.

[0072] When the air guide 200 is in the third air guide position, the air guide 200 rotates out to the second air outlet 121 to open the second air outlet 121; at this time, air is delivered through the first air outlet 111 and the second air outlet 121.

[0073] It should be noted that the first air outlet 111 and the second air outlet 121 are located on the two side walls connected to the housing 100. Thus, when the air guide 200 is in the third air guide position, both the first air outlet 111 and the second air outlet 121 are open to achieve a large air output, which can ensure a more uniform temperature in the room and provide a more comfortable environment.

[0074] In this embodiment, as Figures 10 to 12 As shown, the indoor unit of the air conditioner is an indoor cabinet unit. The first side wall 110 is the front side wall, and the second side wall 120 is the left side wall. The cross-section of the first side wall 110 is semi-circular, and the second air outlet 121 is located on the side of the second side wall 120 away from the first side wall 110. In other embodiments, the second air outlet 121 and the air guide 200 can also be provided on the fourth side wall (i.e., the right side wall) opposite to the second side wall 120; of course, the second air outlet 121 and the air guide 200 can also be provided on both the second side wall 120 and the fourth side wall.

[0075] Optional, such as Figure 13As shown, the air guide 200 has a first side 220, a second side 230, and a third side 240 connected together. The air outlet duct 210 passes through the first side 220 and the third side 240. The air guide 200 is rotatably mounted on the housing 100. In the first air guide position, the first side 220 of the air guide 200 closes the second air outlet 121, and the third side 240 of the air guide 200 is located inside the housing 100, and the air outlet duct 210 communicates with the air cavity 140 inside the housing 100. In the second air guide position, the second side 230 of the air guide 200 closes the second air outlet 121 to achieve the closure of the second air outlet 121. In the third air guide position, the air guide 200 moves out of the second air outlet 121.

[0076] It is understandable that since the third sidewall 130 is the rear sidewall, the rear sidewall of the housing 100 is provided with an air inlet 131, and an air cavity 140 is formed inside the housing 100. Air enters the air cavity 140 through the air inlet 131 and is delivered into the indoor space through the first air outlet 111 and the second air outlet 121. It should be noted that the position of the air guide 200 at the second air outlet 121 can be adjusted as needed to achieve the second air outlet 121 being closed, fully open, or partially open (air outlet duct 210 supplies air), as shown in the reference. Figure 11 , Figure 12 and Figure 10 As shown.

[0077] In this embodiment, the cross-section of the air guide 200 is triangular, and the first side 220, the second side 230, and the third side 240 form a sidewall with a triangular cross-section. Preferably, the cross-section of the air guide 200 is a right-angled triangle, with a right angle between the first side 220 and the second side 230, and the air outlet ducts 210 are multiple ducts parallel to the second side 230. It should be noted that the cross-section of the air guide 200 can also be quadrilateral or other shapes, as long as it has a first side 220, a second side 230, and air outlet ducts 210 parallel to the second side 230.

[0078] The first side 220 and the second side 230 of the air guide component 200 are connected to the housing 100 via an air guide shaft. For example... Figures 10 to 12 As shown, when the air guide 200 switches from the first air guide position to the second air guide position, the air guide 200 rotates counterclockwise by a first preset angle, which can be close to 90°; when the air guide 200 switches from the second air guide position to the third air guide position, the guide rotates counterclockwise by a second preset angle, which can be between 90° and 135°.

[0079] Optional, such as Figure 11As shown, the air cavity 140 has an air outlet channel 141 corresponding to the first air outlet 111, and the air outlet channel 141 is provided with a third air guide plate (not shown in the figure) that can be opened or closed.

[0080] It is understandable that when the third air guide plate opens the air outlet duct 141, the air conditioner indoor unit will have front air outlet; when the third air guide plate closes the air outlet duct 141, the front air outlet of the air conditioner indoor unit will be closed.

[0081] The indoor unit of the air conditioner in this embodiment has the following three air supply methods:

[0082] The first type, such as Figure 10 As shown, when the third air guide plate opens the air outlet channel 141 and the air guide component 200 is in the first air guide position and the third air guide position, the indoor unit of the air conditioner will simultaneously outlet air from the front and the side.

[0083] The second type, such as Figure 11 As shown, when the third air guide plate opens the air outlet channel 141 and the air guide component 200 is in the second air guide position, the indoor unit of the air conditioner only outlets air from the front.

[0084] In the third case, when the third air guide plate closes the air outlet duct 141 and the air guide component 200 is in the first air guide position and the third air guide position, the indoor unit of the air conditioner only outlets air from the side.

[0085] It should be noted that when the second air guide plate 300 opens the entire area of ​​the second air intake zone, and the air guide component 200 is in the third air guide position, and the third air guide plate opens the air outlet channel 141, wide-area air supply is achieved, which can ensure that the temperature of the indoor space is more uniform, reduce the phenomenon of uneven heating and cooling, provide a more comfortable environment, and further improve the user experience.

[0086] The indoor air conditioning unit provided in this embodiment of the invention can not only realize multiple air supply modes, but also effectively adjust the air volume to achieve the best user experience.
