[0047] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in the present disclosure can be combined with each other.

[0048] Combination Figures 1-12 As shown, this embodiment of the present disclosure provides an air guide plate device for an air conditioner. The air conditioner includes a housing 40, and the housing 40 is provided with an air outlet 41. The air guide plate device includes a turbulence component 10 and a plate component 20.

[0049] The turbulence-disrupting component 10 is adapted to be located at the air outlet 41. The turbulence-disrupting component 10 includes a turbulence-disrupting part 11 and a base 12. The turbulence-disrupting part 11 is located on the base 12 so that the turbulence-disrupting part 11 can disturb the airflow. The plate assembly 20 is located on the base 12 and the plate assembly 20 can move relative to the base 12 between a clearance position and a guide position. In the clearance position, the plate assembly 20 can clear the airflow at the air outlet. In the guide position, the plate assembly 20 can be located on the flow path of the airflow to guide the airflow along the plate assembly 20.

[0050] The turbulence-disrupting component 10 is suitable for being located at the air outlet 41. The turbulence-disrupting component 10 can be located outside the air outlet 41, or it can be located in or near the air outlet 41, as long as the turbulence-disrupting component 11 can be located on the flow path of the air outlet to effectively turbulent the air.

[0051] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figures 7-11 As shown, the plate assembly 20 is positioned in a clearance position relative to the base 12. In this clearance position, the plate assembly 20 can avoid the airflow at the air outlet 41. At this time, the plate assembly 20 does not participate in air supply; it only turbulents the airflow through the deflector 11, achieving primary turbulence. Figures 3-6 and Figure 12 As shown, the plate assembly 20 is positioned relative to the base 12 in a guide position. In this position, the plate assembly 20 is positioned along the airflow path to guide the airflow along its path. At this time, the plate assembly 20 participates in airflow distribution. As an extension of the duct profile, it works in conjunction with the turbulence-disrupting section 11 to turbulent and guide the airflow, guiding it upwards or downwards to achieve secondary turbulence. This optimizes airflow distribution, achieving efficient and precise airflow disturbance and directional control, thereby improving the energy efficiency and comfort of the air conditioning system.

[0052] The air guide plate device for an air conditioner provided in this embodiment improves the efficiency and flexibility of airflow regulation by employing the cooperative operation of the turbulence-disrupting component 10 and the plate assembly 20. The plate assembly 20 is mounted on the base 12 and works together with the base 12 to guide the airflow. In the avoidance position, the plate assembly 20 avoids the airflow at the air outlet, at which point the turbulence-disrupting component 10 acts independently on the airflow, dispersing it and achieving a gentle breeze effect. In the guiding position, the plate assembly 20 is located on the flow path of the airflow and works in cooperation with the turbulence-disrupting component 10. The airflow is not only initially dispersed by the turbulence-disrupting component 10 but also guided directionally by the plate assembly 20. As an extension of the air duct profile, the plate assembly 20 guides the airflow along the plate assembly 20, achieving a gentle breeze that rises or falls, effectively optimizing the distribution and direction of the airflow. The air supply mode can be flexibly adjusted according to the needs of different usage scenarios, which can meet the needs of personalized air supply, thereby improving the overall performance of the air conditioner and the user experience.

[0053] Optionally, combined Figures 1-10 As shown, the turbulence section 11 is located on the surface of the base 12 facing the air outlet 41, and the plate assembly 20 is located on the surface of the base 12 away from the turbulence section 11 or on the side of the base 12.

[0054] This allows the turbulence-disrupting part 11 to directly and efficiently contact the outlet airflow, acting directly upstream of the airflow to achieve primary turbulence. The plate assembly 20, located downstream of the outlet airflow, either on the surface opposite the turbulence-disrupting part 11 or on the side of the base 12, directly receives the airflow pre-processed by the turbulence-disrupting part 11 and guides its flow direction. This enables the upward or downward movement of the gentle breeze, thus achieving secondary turbulence. During its movement between the avoidance position and the guiding position, the plate assembly 20 does not obstruct the space between the turbulence-disrupting part 11 and the air outlet 41, ensuring that the turbulence-disrupting part 11 remains in direct contact with the outlet airflow.

[0055] It is understood that when the plate assembly 20 moves in the avoidance position, the guide position, or between the avoidance position and the guide position, the plate assembly 20 does not come into contact with the turbulence part 11 to prevent affecting the turbulence effect of the turbulence part 11.

[0056] Optionally, combined Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown, in the avoidance position, the plate assembly 20 is located on the side of the base 12 away from the turbulence part 11, and the orthographic projection of the plate assembly 20 on the plane of the base 12 is within the range of the base 12; in the flow guiding position, the orthographic projection of the plate assembly 20 on the plane of the base 12 is at least partially outside the range of the base 12.

[0057] In the avoidance position, the plate assembly 20 is located on the side of the base 12 away from the deflector 11, and its orthographic projection onto the plane of the base 12 is within the range of the base 12, so that the plate assembly 20 does not obstruct the airflow when not in operation. This avoids generating additional resistance to the airflow. In the guiding position, the portion of the plate assembly 20 whose orthographic projection onto the plane of the base 12 is outside the range of the base 12 can contact the airflow and guide it.

[0058] Optionally, combined Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown, the base 12 includes a first side 121 and a second side 122 along a first direction, where the first direction is the length or width direction of the base 12. The plate assembly 20 includes a first plate 21, which is disposed on the first side 121 of the base 12 and is rotatable relative to the base 12 between a clearance position and a guide position.

[0059] The length direction of base 12 is as follows Figure 11 As indicated by the middle arrow, the width direction of base 12 Figure 12 As indicated by the arrow, the first direction can be either the length direction of the base 12 or the width direction of the base 12. This application uses the width direction of the base 12 as the first direction, and the first side 121 and the second side 122 as opposite sides of the base 12 along its width direction as an example. It can be understood that the first side 121 and the second side 122 can also be opposite sides of the base 12 along its length direction.

[0060] When the air conditioner is blowing air, the first plate 21 can adjust the airflow at the first side 121 of the base 12 by rotating between the avoidance position and the guide position. By adjusting the position of the first plate 21, the airflow direction or airflow range at the first side 121 of the base 12 can be adjusted.

[0061] Optionally, combined Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown, the base 12 includes a first side 121 and a second side 122 along a first direction, where the first direction is the length or width direction of the base 12. The plate assembly 20 includes a second plate 22, which is disposed on the second side 122 of the base 12 and is rotatable relative to the base 12 between a clearance position and a guide position.

[0062] When the air conditioner is blowing air, the second plate 22 can adjust the airflow at the second side 122 of the base 12 by rotating between a clearance position and a guide position. By adjusting the position of the second plate 22, the airflow direction or airflow range at the second side 122 of the base 12 can be adjusted.

[0063] This application takes the plate assembly 20, including a first plate 21 and a second plate 22, as an example. In the avoidance position, both the first plate 21 and the second plate 22 are located on the side of the base 12 away from the turbulence part 11 and are tilted inward, so that the projections of the first plate 21 and the second plate 22 on the plane of the base 12 are within the range of the base 12. In the airflow guiding position, the first plate 21 and the second plate 22 are opened towards the first side 121 and the second side 122 of the base 12 respectively and tilted outward, so that the projections of the first plate 21 and the second plate 22 on the plane of the base 12 are outside the range of the base 12, thereby guiding the airflow. The first plate 21 and the second plate 22 are connected to the base 12 via a rotating joint, and the airflow direction of the plate assembly 20 can be adjusted by driving the first plate 21 or the second plate 22 to a desired angle. When the first plate 21 and the second plate 22 rotate to match the size of the air outlet 41 and move to a position that fits against the air outlet 41, the air outlet 41 can be closed when the air conditioner is turned off.

[0064] Optionally, combined Figure 9 and Figure 11 As shown, the length direction of the base 12 is adapted to be the same as the length direction of the air outlet 41.

[0065] The length direction of the air outlet 41 is as follows Figure 9 As indicated by the middle arrow, the length direction of base 12 is as follows: Figure 11 As indicated by the middle arrow, the length of the base 12 is aligned with the length of the air outlet 41, allowing the base 12 to better support the turbulence-disrupting part 11 and the plate assembly 20. This supports the turbulence-disrupting part 11 and the plate assembly 20 to effectively turbulent and guide the entire airflow along the length of the air outlet 41.

[0066] Optionally, combined Figure 9 As shown, the length of the base 12 is adapted to match the length of the air outlet 41; the dimensions of the baffle 11 are adapted to match the length of the air outlet 41; and the dimensions of the plate assembly 20 are adapted to match the length of the air outlet 41.

[0067] Matching the length of the air outlet 41 means being equal to or slightly longer than the length of the air outlet 41, and capable of covering the entire airflow along the length of the air outlet 41. This allows the turbulence-disrupting part 11, the base 12, and the plate assembly 20 to uniformly turbulent and guide the airflow along the entire length of the air outlet 41.

[0068] Optionally, combined Figures 1-8As shown, the air guide plate device for an air conditioner further includes a first driving unit and a second driving unit. The first driving unit is driven to the turbulence-disrupting unit 11 to drive the turbulence-disrupting unit 11 to perform turbulence-disrupting operations. The second driving unit is driven to the plate assembly 20 to drive the plate assembly 20 to move between an avoidance position and a guide position. In the first-level turbulence-disrupting mode, the first driving unit drives the turbulence-disrupting unit 11 to perform turbulence-disrupting operations, and the second driving unit drives the plate assembly 20 to move to the avoidance position. In the second-level turbulence-disrupting mode, the first driving unit drives the turbulence-disrupting unit 11 to perform turbulence-disrupting operations, and the second driving unit drives the plate assembly 20 to move to the guide position.

[0069] In the first-level turbulence mode, the plate assembly 20 can avoid the airflow and mainly turbulent the airflow through the turbulence section 11 to achieve a soft wind effect.

[0070] In the secondary turbulence mode, the plate assembly 20 and the turbulence section 11 work together. This allows the turbulence section 11 to agitate the outlet airflow, achieving gentle air delivery, while the plate assembly 20 can also adjust the direction and range of the outlet airflow. Specifically, in the guide position, the second drive unit can adjust the angle of the plate assembly 20, enabling the air guide plate device to flexibly adapt to different air conditioning conditions and meet diverse airflow adjustment needs.

[0071] The first drive unit includes a first motor, which provides a power source for the turbulence of the turbulence-generating unit 11. The second drive unit includes a second motor, which provides a power source for the movement of the plate assembly 20. When the plate assembly 20 includes a first housing 40 and / or a second housing 40, the second motor can drive the first housing 40 and / or the second housing 40 to rotate between a clearance position and a flow-guiding position. It is understood that the first and second drive units can also employ pneumatic or hydraulic drive devices or other similar drive methods.

[0072] It is understandable that when the second drive unit drives the plate assembly 20 to the guide position, the first drive unit may not drive the turbulence unit 11 to work. In this case, the air guide plate device only guides the airflow direction through the plate assembly 20.

[0073] Optionally, combined Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown, the turbulence-disrupting part 11 includes a vibrating plate 111 and a piezoelectric ceramic 112. The vibrating plate 111 is disposed on the base 12. The piezoelectric ceramic 112 is disposed on the base 12 and is connected to the vibrating plate 111 to drive the vibrating plate 111 to vibrate and turbulent the airflow. In the case where the air guide plate device includes a first driving part, the first driving part is driven to be connected to the piezoelectric ceramic 112 to drive the piezoelectric ceramic 112 to drive the vibrating plate 111 to vibrate and turbulent the airflow.

[0074] The piezoelectric ceramic 112 and the vibrating plate 111 form a piezoelectric ceramic 112-vibrating plate 111 structure. Through the synergistic effect of the piezoelectric ceramic 112-vibrating plate 111 and the plate assembly 20, the direction of the exhaust airflow can be optimized. The piezoelectric ceramic 112 can generate high-frequency vibration, which can drive the vibrating plate 111 to form a small turbulence at the air outlet 41, effectively disturbing the airflow. The vibration frequency of the piezoelectric ceramic 112 can be adjusted by a controller, thereby achieving precise control of the airflow disturbance intensity.

[0075] It is understandable that the vibrating plate 111 can adopt different shapes to adapt to different air conditioning types and airflow requirements, such as ring, square, elliptical, etc., thereby improving the applicability and turbulence efficiency of the turbulence part 11.

[0076] Optionally, combined Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown, there are multiple turbulence-disrupting parts 11, which are spaced apart along the length of the base 12.

[0077] The arrangement of multiple airflow deflectors 11 can more effectively disperse the airflow and improve the deflection effect. The multiple airflow deflectors 11 are spaced apart along the length of the base 12, which can uniformly turbulent the airflow throughout the entire length of the air outlet 41, and can also prevent the airflow from forming local vortices or uneven distribution at the air outlet 41.

[0078] Optionally, when the air guide plate device includes a first drive unit, the first drive unit drives the multiple piezoelectric ceramics 112 of the multiple turbulence sections 11 to vibrate at a single vibration frequency.

[0079] When multiple piezoelectric ceramics 112 vibrate at a single vibration frequency, the multiple vibrating plates 111 vibrate at the same frequency, which can create uniform airflow disturbance throughout the entire air outlet 41. Using a single vibration frequency for control is simple, the vibration disturbance effect is stable, and it can effectively improve the air supply uniformity of the air conditioner.

[0080] Optionally, when the air guide plate device includes a first drive unit, the first drive unit drives the multiple piezoelectric ceramics 112 of the multiple turbulence sections 11 to vibrate in a combination of multiple frequencies.

[0081] When multiple piezoelectric ceramics 112 vibrate in combination with multiple frequencies, multiple vibrating plates 111 vibrate in combination with different frequencies, which can generate complex airflow disturbances at the air outlet 41, thereby locally strengthening or weakening the airflow.

[0082] Optionally, when the air guide plate device includes a first drive unit, the first drive unit drives the multiple piezoelectric ceramics 112 of the multiple turbulence sections 11 to vibrate in a pulsed manner.

[0083] When multiple piezoelectric ceramics 112 vibrate in a pulsed manner, multiple vibrating plates 111 vibrate in a pulsed manner. In this way, the airflow can be disturbed by periodic vibration pulses, thereby adjusting the intensity of the disturbance.

[0084] Combination Figures 1-10 As shown, this embodiment of the present disclosure provides an air conditioner, including a housing 40 and an air guide plate device for an air conditioner as described in any of the above-disclosed embodiments. The housing 40 is provided with an air outlet 41. The air guide plate device for an air conditioner as described in any of the above-disclosed embodiments has a turbulence-deflecting component 10 disposed at the air outlet 41.

[0085] The air conditioner provided in this embodiment includes the air guide plate device for air conditioners as described in any of the above-described embodiments, and therefore has all the beneficial effects of the air guide plate device for air conditioners as described in any of the above-described embodiments, which will not be repeated here.

[0086] Optionally, combined Figure 10 As shown, the base 12 is movably connected to the housing 40. The air conditioner also includes a third drive unit 30, which is driven to the base 12 to drive the base 12 to move the turbulence unit 11 and the plate assembly 20 relative to the air outlet 41 between a first position located above the air outlet 412 and a second position located below the air outlet 413.

[0087] The outlet airflow includes a main flow field and an outer flow field. The main flow field refers to the main part of the outlet airflow that flows directly out of the outlet 41. The main flow field has a high velocity and a relatively concentrated flow direction. The flow characteristics of the main flow field directly affect the air supply distance and air supply intensity of the air conditioner. By turbulence-dispersing part 11, the main flow field of the outlet airflow can be dispersed or redistributed, achieving a more uniform air supply effect. The outer flow field of the outlet airflow refers to the airflow area formed by the outward diffusion of the outlet airflow after leaving the main flow field. The outer flow field can supplement and regulate the airflow distribution of the main flow field. The outer flow field of the outlet airflow includes the outer flow field above the outlet airflow and the outer flow field below the outlet airflow. When the outlet airflow is hot air, the hot air diffuses upward. At this time, the turbulence-dispersing part 11 turbulents the outer flow field above the outlet airflow, which can cause the hot air to sink. When the outlet airflow is cold air, the cold airflow diffuses downward. At this time, the turbulence section 11 turbulents the external flow field below the outlet airflow, which can make the cold air rise.

[0088] The system is divided into three regions between the first and second positions. The first region corresponds to the external flow field above the outlet airflow, the second region corresponds to the external flow field below the outlet airflow, and the third region corresponds to the main flow field of the outlet airflow. The first position is above the outlet 41, and the turbulence-disrupting part 11 can turbulentize the first region at this position. The second position is below the outlet 41, and the turbulence-disrupting part 11 can turbulentize the second region at this position. Between the first and second positions, the turbulence-disrupting part 11 corresponds to the outlet 41 and can turbulentize the third region. When the turbulence-disrupting part 1120 moves between the first and second positions, it can contact the outlet airflow, achieving a turbulent effect and thus optimizing the multi-mode air supply.

[0089] The third drive unit 30 drives the base 12, which in turn moves the turbulence unit 11 and the plate assembly 20 relative to the air outlet 41 between a first position and a second position, thereby adjusting the airflow at different positions of the air outlet 41. This effectively improves the flexibility and adaptability of the air supply adjustment of the air conditioner, allowing for dynamic adjustment of the air supply direction and range according to different usage scenarios and needs.

[0090] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the turbulence-disrupting assembly 10 and the plate assembly 20 are in the first position. In the first position, the turbulence-disrupting assembly 10 and the plate assembly 20 are located above the air outlet 412, capable of turbulenting or guiding the external flow field (first region) above the air outlet airflow. This is suitable for use in air conditioning systems in heating mode, where the turbulence or guidance effect causes the hot airflow to descend. Combined with... Figures 7-8 As shown, the turbulence-disrupting assembly 10 and the plate assembly 20 are in the second position. In the second position, the turbulence-disrupting assembly 10 and the plate assembly 20 are located below the air outlet 413, capable of turbulenting or guiding the external flow field (second region) below the air outlet airflow. This is suitable for use in air conditioning systems in cooling mode, where the turbulence or guidance effect causes the cold airflow to rise. Combined with... Figures 3-6 As shown, the turbulence-disrupting component 10 and the plate assembly 20 are positioned between the first and second positions. In the position between the first and second positions, the turbulence-disrupting component 10 and the plate assembly 20 correspond to the air outlet 41, specifically the center of the air outlet 41. They can turbulent or guide the main flow field (third region) of the airflow, which is suitable for air conditioners to enhance the soft wind effect through turbulence and to provide directional airflow through guidance.

[0091] Optionally, combined Figure 10As shown, the third drive unit 30 includes a linkage mechanism 31 and a third motor 32. The first end of the linkage mechanism 31 is connected to the base 12, and the second end of the linkage mechanism 31 is connected to the housing 40. The third motor 32 is driven by the linkage mechanism 31 to drive the linkage mechanism 31 to move the base 12 between the first position and the second position.

[0092] Through the drive connection of the third motor 32 and the linkage mechanism 31, the base 12 can drive the baffle 11 and the plate assembly 20 to move smoothly and precisely between the first and second positions. The linkage mechanism 31 can drive the base 12 to drive the baffle 11 and the plate assembly 20 to rotate compactly around the air outlet 41, significantly reducing the extra space required for movement. The linkage mechanism 31 can be a four-bar linkage 31, which is suitable to be located at both ends of the housing 40 along the length of the air outlet 41, driving the base 12 and the baffle 11 to rotate around the air outlet 41. Through the transmission of the four-bar linkage 31, the baffle 11 can always be located on the side of the base 12 facing the air outlet 41 during movement.

[0093] It is understood that the third drive unit 30 can also be other types of drive structures, such as driving the base 12 to move between the first position and the second position through the gear transmission mechanism driven by the motor module, or driving the base 12 to move between the first position and the second position through the extension and retraction of the hydraulic cylinder or the pneumatic cylinder.

[0094] Optionally, combined Figures 1-8 As shown, when the air guide plate device includes a first driving unit and a second driving unit, when the base 12 drives the turbulence-disrupting part 11 and the plate assembly 20 to be in the first position relative to the air outlet 41, the first driving unit drives the turbulence-disrupting part 11 to perform turbulence-disrupting work, and the second driving unit drives the plate assembly 20 to move to the avoidance position; when the base 12 drives the turbulence-disrupting part 11 and the plate assembly 20 to be in the second position relative to the air outlet 41, the first driving unit drives the turbulence-disrupting part 11 to perform turbulence-disrupting work, and the second driving unit drives the plate assembly 20 to move to the avoidance position; when the base 12 drives the turbulence-disrupting part 11 and the plate assembly 20 to be in the position between the first position and the second position relative to the air outlet 41, the first driving unit drives the turbulence-disrupting part 11 to perform turbulence-disrupting work, and the second driving unit drives the plate assembly 20 to move to the air guide position.

[0095] In the first position, when the guide plate device disturbs the external flow field above the outlet airflow, it only disturbs the outlet airflow through the turbulence part 11 to make the outlet airflow sink, and the plate assembly 20 is in the avoidance position to avoid the outlet airflow.

[0096] In the second position, when the guide plate device disturbs the external flow field below the outlet airflow, it only disturbs the outlet airflow through the turbulence part 11 to make the outlet airflow rise, and the plate assembly 20 is in the avoidance position to avoid the outlet airflow.

[0097] Between the first and second positions, when the guide plate device disturbs the mainstream airflow, the turbulence-dispersing part 11 and the plate assembly 20 work together. The turbulence-dispersing part 11 disperses the airflow, achieving a gentle breeze effect and improving the uniformity and comfort of the air delivery. The plate assembly 20, located at the guide position, can directionally guide the gentle airflow, preventing it from blowing directly onto the human body or specific areas, thereby enhancing the user experience.

[0098] Optionally, combined Figures 3-4 As shown, when the base 12 drives the turbulence section 11 and the plate assembly 20 to be located between the first position and the middle part 411 of the air outlet 41, the plate assembly 20 and the base 12 form a downward tilting trend to guide the airflow to sink.

[0099] The base 12 drives the airflow deflector 11 and the plate assembly 20 to be positioned relative to the air outlet 41 between a first position and a second position, including a position between the first position and the center of the air outlet 411, a position between the center of the air outlet 411 and the second position, and a position at the center of the air outlet 411. When the base 12 drives the airflow deflector 11 and the plate assembly 20 to be positioned relative to the air outlet 41 between the first position and the center of the air outlet 411, the airflow deflector 11 and the plate assembly 20 correspond to the air outlet 41, and the plate assembly 20 and the base 12 form a downward tilting tendency relative to the air outlet 41, which can guide the airflow downward. At this time, the flow direction of the airflow is as follows: Figure 4 As indicated by the arrow in the middle. While the vibrating plate 111 disturbs the airflow at the outlet, the first plate 21 and the second plate 22, as extensions of the upper profile of the air duct, can achieve a two-stage downward movement of the airflow at the outlet.

[0100] Optionally, combined Figures 5-6 As shown, when the base 12 drives the turbulence section 11 and the plate assembly 20 to be located between the middle part 411 of the air outlet and the second position relative to the air outlet 41, the plate assembly 20 and the base 12 form an upward tilting trend to guide the airflow upward.

[0101] When the base 12 drives the baffle 11 and the plate assembly 20 to a position between the center 411 and the second position of the air outlet 41, the baffle 11 and the plate assembly 20 correspond to the air outlet 41, and the plate assembly 20 and the base 12 form an upward tilting trend relative to the air outlet 41, which can guide the airflow upward. At this time, the flow direction of the airflow is as follows: Figure 6 As indicated by the arrow in the middle. While the vibrating plate 111 disturbs the airflow at the outlet, the first plate 21 and the second plate 22, as extensions of the lower profile of the air duct, can achieve a two-stage upward movement of the airflow at the outlet.

[0102] For example, when the plate assembly 20 includes a first plate 21 and a second plate 22, the first plate 21 and the second plate 22 can be angled according to different air supply conditions, thereby switching between an avoidance position and a guide position. The base 12 of the turbulence assembly 10 is provided with a piezoelectric ceramic 112 and a vibrating plate 111. When the base 12 drives the turbulence part 11 and the plate assembly 20 to a first position relative to the air outlet 41, the turbulence part 11 and the plate assembly 20 are located above the air outlet 41. The vibrating plate 111 performs normal airflow disturbance on the external flow field above the air outlet airflow, realizing the sinking of primary hot air. The first plate 21 and the second plate 22 do not participate in air supply and are stored on the side of the base 12 away from the turbulence part 11. When the base 12 drives the turbulence part 11 and the plate assembly 20 to a second position relative to the air outlet 41, the turbulence part 11 and the plate assembly 20 are located below the air outlet 41. The vibrating plate 111 causes normal airflow disturbance to the external flow field below the outlet airflow, achieving the first-stage upward lifting of cold air. The first plate 21 and the second plate 22 do not participate in air supply and are housed on the side of the base 12 away from the turbulence-disrupting part 11. When the base 12 drives the turbulence-disrupting part 11 and the plate assembly 20 to be positioned between the first position and the middle of the outlet 411 relative to the outlet 41, the turbulence-disrupting part 11 and the plate assembly 20 correspond to the outlet 41. The first plate 21 and the second plate 22 adjust their rotation angle to form a downward tilting tendency with the base 12, which can guide the outlet airflow to sink. While the vibrating plate 111 disturbs the airflow, the first plate 21 and the second plate 22, as extensions of the upper profile of the air duct, can achieve the second-stage downward sinking of hot air. When the base 12 drives the turbulence-disrupting part 11 and the plate assembly 20 to a position between the middle 411 and the second position of the air outlet 41, the turbulence-disrupting part 11 and the plate assembly 20 correspond to the air outlet 41. The first plate 21 and the second plate 22 adjust their rotation angle to form an upward tilting tendency with the base 12, which can guide the airflow upward. While the vibrating plate 111 turbulentizes the airflow, the first plate 21 and the second plate 22, as extensions of the lower profile of the air duct, can achieve secondary upward lifting of cold air.

[0103] By setting various turbulence and guidance modes, airflow distribution can be effectively optimized, improving the energy efficiency and comfort of the air conditioning system.
