The air guiding component also includes a driving device, which includes a resonant actuator that can drive the air guiding vanes to resonate to achieve turbulence. The driving device is also configured to drive the air guiding vanes to deflect at a set angle to achieve directional airflow.
[0004] In the process of implementing the embodiments of this disclosure, at least the following problems were found in the related art:
[0005] In related technologies, although the air guide vanes can resonate to achieve turbulence and deflect at a set angle to achieve directional airflow, the air outlet effect still needs to be improved.
[0006] It should be noted that the information disclosed in the background section above is only used to enhance the understanding of the background of this application, and therefore may include information that does not constitute prior art known to those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

In the first operating state, both the first and second deflectors are located on the top surface of the base to agitate the airflow at the top surface. In the second operating state, the first deflector is located on the first side to agitate the airflow at the first side, and the second deflector is located on the second side to agitate the airflow at the second side.
[0010] Optionally, both the first and second spoilers are rotatably connected to the base, and the first and second sides are arranged opposite each other along a first direction.

This enables airflow in multiple directions, improving the gentleness of the airflow and effectively enhancing the overall airflow performance. In the first operating state, both the first and second deflectors simultaneously agitate the airflow at the top surface, increasing the deflection intensity. In the second operating state, the first deflector agitates the airflow at the first side, and the second deflector agitates the airflow at the second side. Through the synergistic effect of the first and second deflectors, the airflow dispersion of the air conditioner is effectively improved, resulting in a more dispersed and gentler airflow.

[0046] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in the present disclosure can be combined with each other.
[0047] Combination Figure 1-10 As shown, this embodiment of the disclosure provides a deflection assembly 100 for an air conditioner. The air conditioner includes a housing 40, and the housing 40 is provided with an air outlet 41. The deflection assembly 100 includes a base 10 and a deflection part 20.
[0048] The base 10 includes a top surface 11, which includes opposing first sides 12 and second sides 13. A flow-deflecting section 20 is disposed on the base 10 and is adapted to be located at the air outlet 41. The flow-deflecting section 20 includes a first flow-deflecting element 21 and a second flow-deflecting element 22, both of which are movably connected to the base 10, allowing the flow-deflecting section 20 to switch between a first operating state and a second operating state. (The last sentence appears to be incomplete and possibly refers to a combination of two different components.) Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, in the first working state, both the first baffle 21 and the second baffle 22 are located on the top surface 11 of the base 10 to disturb the airflow at the top surface 11; combined with Figure 3 and Figure 7 As shown, in the second working state, the first deflector 21 is located on the first side 12 to disturb the airflow at the first side 12, and the second deflector 22 is located on the second side 13 to disturb the airflow at the second side 13.
[0049] The airflow disturbance component 100 for an air conditioner provided in this embodiment of the present disclosure is used. The disturbance part 20 is adapted to be disposed at the air outlet 41 to disturb the airflow. The first disturbance member 21 and the second disturbance member 22 are both movably connected to the base 10, allowing the disturbance part 20 to flexibly switch between a first working state and a second working state. This enables airflow in multiple directions, improves the gentleness of the airflow, and effectively enhances the airflow performance. In the first working state, the first disturbance member 21 and the second disturbance member 22 can simultaneously disturb the airflow at the top surface 11, enhancing the disturbance intensity. In the second working state, the first disturbance member 21 can disturb the airflow at the first side 12, and the second disturbance member 22 can disturb the airflow at the second side 13. Through the synergistic effect of the first disturbance member 21 and the second disturbance member 22, the airflow dispersion effect of the air conditioner can be effectively improved, making the airflow more dispersed and gentle.
[0050] For example, the first spoiler 21 can be a first vibrating plate, and the second spoiler 22 can be a second vibrating plate. It is understood that the first spoiler and the second spoiler can also adopt a spiral spoiler structure, etc.
[0051] Optionally, combined Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the first spoiler 21 and the second spoiler 22 are both rotatably connected to the base 10. The first side 12 and the second side 13 are arranged opposite each other along the first direction. The first spoiler 21 can rotate toward the first side 12 along the first direction, and the second spoiler 22 can rotate toward the second side 13 along the first direction. The first direction is the length direction or the width direction of the base 10.
[0052] The length direction of base 10 is as follows Figure 6 As indicated by the middle arrow, the width direction of the base 10 is as follows: Figure 7 As indicated by the arrow in the middle. The first direction can be either the length direction of the base 10 or the width direction of the base 10. This application takes the width direction of the base 10 as an example.
[0053] Both the first baffle 21 and the second baffle 22 are rotatably connected to the base 10 and can rotate along a first direction toward the first side 12 and the second side 13 respectively, making the movement of the first baffle 21 and the second baffle 22 more flexible and controllable. Through rotation, the first baffle 21 and the second baffle 22 can quickly switch between a first working state and a second working state, thereby achieving dynamic adjustment of the airflow.
[0054] Optionally, the airflow deflector 100 for the air conditioner further includes a first driving unit and a second driving unit. The first driving unit is driven to connect with the first deflector 21 to drive the first deflector 21 to switch between a first operating state and a second operating state. The second driving unit is driven to connect with the second deflector 22 to drive the second deflector 22 to switch between a first operating state and a second operating state.
[0055] By driving the first and second drive units respectively to move the first spoiler 21 and the second spoiler 22 between a first operating state and a second operating state, the automation level of the switching between the operating states of the first spoiler 21 and the second spoiler 22 can be improved. The first drive unit can be a first rotary motor, which can directly drive the first spoiler 21 to rotate, thereby achieving efficient and precise control of the first spoiler 21. The second drive unit can be a second rotary motor, which can directly drive the second spoiler 22 to rotate, thereby achieving efficient and precise control of the second spoiler 22. It is understood that the first and second drive units can also adopt drive mechanisms such as electromagnetic drive devices.
[0056] Optionally, combined Figure 6 and Figure 8-10 As shown, in the first working state, the first spoiler 21 extends outward relative to the top surface 11 of the base 10, combined with... Figure 7 As shown, in the second working state, the first spoiler 21 extends outward from the first side 12.
[0057] In the first operating state, the first baffle 21 extends outward relative to the top surface 11 of the base 10, allowing it to fully contact the airflow at the top surface 11 (including the surface and outer side of the top surface) to turbulent the airflow and effectively disperse it, resulting in a more uniform distribution of the airflow. In the second operating state, the first baffle 21 extends outward from the first side 12, effectively disturbing the airflow at the first side 12.
[0058] Optionally, combined Figure 6 and Figure 8-10 As shown, in the first working state, the second spoiler 22 extends outward relative to the top surface 11 of the base 10, combined with... Figure 7 As shown, in the second operating state, the second spoiler 22 extends outward from the second side 13.
[0059] In the first operating state, the second baffle 22 extends outward relative to the top surface 11 of the base 10, allowing it to fully contact the airflow at the top surface 11 (including the surface and outer side of the top surface) to turbulent the airflow and effectively disperse it, resulting in a more uniform airflow distribution. In the second operating state, the second baffle 22 extends outward from the second side 13, effectively disturbing the airflow at the second side 13.
[0060] Optionally, combined Figure 6-10 As shown, there are multiple first spoilers 21 and multiple second spoilers 22. Multiple first spoilers 21 and multiple second spoilers 22 are alternately arranged along the length direction of the base 10. The first side 12 and the second side 13 are the opposite sides of the top surface 11 along the width direction of the base 10.
[0061] The alternating arrangement of multiple first airflow deflectors 21 and multiple second airflow deflectors 22 along the length of the base 10 ensures uniform and continuous airflow turbulence along the entire length of the base 10, effectively optimizing the uniformity and smoothness of the airflow. Simultaneously, the first side 12 and the second side 13, located opposite each other on the top surface 11 along the width of the base 10, provide comprehensive coverage and precise adjustment of the airflow in the second operating state, significantly improving the air delivery effect and comfort of the air conditioner.
[0062] Optionally, combined Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, in the first working state, a plurality of first spoilers 21 and a plurality of second spoilers 22 are arranged linearly along the length direction of the base 10; in the second working state, a plurality of first spoilers 21 and a plurality of second spoilers 22 are arranged crosswise along the length direction of the base 10.
[0063] In the first working state, multiple first baffles 21 and multiple second baffles 22 are alternately arranged along the length of the base 10, and are linearly arranged along the length of the base 10. This allows for uniform disturbance of the airflow at the top surface 11, creating a smoother airflow transition and achieving a softer, more uniform airflow effect. By rotating, the multiple first baffles 21 can be rotated towards the first side 12, and the multiple second baffles 22 towards the second side 13, switching the baffle section 20 to the second working state. In the second working state, the multiple first baffles 21 and multiple second baffles 22 are alternately arranged along the length of the base 10, with the multiple first baffles 21 located on the first side 12 and the multiple second baffles 22 located on the second side 13, forming a cross-arrangement along the length of the base 10. This allows the airflow to form multiple intersecting turbulence zones along the length of the base 10, expanding the turbulence range and thus enhancing the gentle breeze effect.
[0064] Optionally, combined Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the first turbulence element 21 includes a first piezoelectric ceramic 211 and a first vibrating plate 212. The first piezoelectric ceramic 211 is disposed on the base 10, and the first vibrating plate 212 is connected to the first piezoelectric ceramic 211. The first vibrating plate 212 extends outward relative to the top surface 11 of the base 10.
[0065] The first airflow disruptor 21 includes a first piezoelectric ceramic 211 and a first vibrating plate 212 connected to each other. The piezoelectric ceramic has good vibration performance, and the high-frequency vibration of the first piezoelectric ceramic 211 can drive the first vibrating plate 212 to generate high-frequency vibration. This can effectively improve the airflow disruption effect of the first airflow disruptor 21. The first vibrating plate 212 extends outward relative to the top surface 11 of the base 10, so that the first vibrating plate 212 can directly act on the airflow and increase the contact area between the first vibrating plate 212 and the airflow, thereby effectively improving the airflow disruption efficiency.
[0066] Optionally, combined Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the second turbulence element 22 includes a second piezoelectric ceramic 221 and a second vibrating plate 222. The second piezoelectric ceramic 221 is disposed on the base 10, and the second vibrating plate 222 is connected to the second piezoelectric ceramic 221. The second vibrating plate 222 extends outward relative to the top surface 11 of the base 10.
[0067] The second airflow disruptor 22 includes a second piezoelectric ceramic 221 and a second vibrating plate 222 connected to each other. The piezoelectric ceramic has good vibration performance, and the high-frequency vibration of the second piezoelectric ceramic 221 can drive the second vibrating plate 222 to generate high-frequency vibration. This can effectively improve the airflow disruption effect of the second airflow disruptor 22. The second vibrating plate 222 extends outward relative to the top surface 11 of the base 10, so that the second vibrating plate 222 can directly act on the airflow and increase the contact area between the second vibrating plate 222 and the airflow, thereby effectively improving the airflow disruption efficiency.
[0068] The first vibrating plate 212 and the second vibrating plate 222 can guide the direction of the airflow. When the first vibrating plate 212 and the second vibrating plate 222 are activated, they can also resonate and turbulent the airflow. It can be understood that the first vibrating plate 212 and the second vibrating plate 222 can adopt different shapes to adapt to different air conditioning types and airflow requirements, such as annular, square, elliptical, etc., thereby improving the applicability and turbulence efficiency of the turbulence section 20.
[0069] Optionally, combined Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the first vibrating plate 212 is rotatably connected to the base 10. The first end of the first vibrating plate 212 is located on the top surface 11, and the second end of the first vibrating plate 212 can rotate around the first end of the first vibrating plate 212 toward or away from the first side 12. In the first working state, the first vibrating plate 212 extends outward along a direction perpendicular to the top surface 11 of the base 10, and in the second working state, the first vibrating plate 212 extends toward the first side 12 along a direction parallel to the top surface 11 of the base 10.
[0070] The first vibrating plate 212 is rotatably connected to the base 10. A first end of the first vibrating plate 212 along its length is located on the top surface 11, and a second end of the first vibrating plate 212 along its length can rotate around the first end of the first vibrating plate 212 outside the top surface 11. In the first working state, the first vibrating plate 212 extends outwards in a direction perpendicular to the top surface 11 of the base 10. In the second working state, the first vibrating plate 212 extends towards the first side 12 in a direction parallel to the top surface 11 of the base 10. The extension direction of the first vibrating plate 212 is its length direction. By rotating the second end of the first vibrating plate 212 around the first end of the second vibrating plate 222 in a direction towards or away from the first side 12, the rotation angle of the first vibrating plate 212 relative to the base 10 can be adjusted, and the position of the first vibrating plate 212 relative to the airflow can be changed. The first vibrating plate 212 can flexibly rotate between a direction perpendicular to the top surface 11 of the base 10 and a direction parallel to the top surface 11 of the base 10 and towards the first side 12.
[0071] Optionally, combined Figure 6and Figure 7 As shown, the second vibrating plate 222 is rotatably connected to the base 10. The first end of the second vibrating plate 222 is located on the top surface 11, and the second end of the second vibrating plate 222 can rotate around the first end of the second vibrating plate 222 toward or away from the second side 13. In the first working state, the second vibrating plate 222 extends outward along a direction perpendicular to the top surface 11 of the base 10, and in the second working state, the second vibrating plate 222 extends toward the second side 13 along a direction parallel to the top surface 11 of the base 10.
[0072] The second vibrating plate 222 is rotatably connected to the base 10. The first end of the second vibrating plate 222 along its length is located on the top surface 11, and the second end of the second vibrating plate 222 along its length can rotate around the first end of the second vibrating plate 222 outside the top surface 11. In the first working state, the second vibrating plate 222 extends outward in a direction perpendicular to the top surface 11 of the base 10. In the second working state, the second vibrating plate 222 extends towards the second side 13 in a direction parallel to the top surface 11 of the base 10. The extension direction of the second vibrating plate 222 is its length direction. By rotating the second end of the second vibrating plate 222 around the first end of the second vibrating plate 222 in a direction towards or away from the second side 13, the rotation angle of the second vibrating plate 222 relative to the base 10 can be adjusted, and the position of the second vibrating plate 222 relative to the airflow can be changed. The second vibrating plate 222 can flexibly rotate between a direction perpendicular to the top surface 11 of the base 10 and a direction parallel to the top surface 11 of the base 10 and towards the second side 13.
[0073] By adjusting the angle between the first vibrating plate 212 and the second vibrating plate 222 and the base 10, the first vibrating plate 212 and the second vibrating plate 222 can accurately turbulent the airflow at different positions, thereby achieving diversified adjustment of the airflow direction and wind feel, effectively improving the airflow effect and comfort of the air conditioner.
[0074] In the first operating state, both the first vibrating plate 212 and the second vibrating plate 222 extend outward along a direction perpendicular to the top surface 11 of the base 10, enhancing the turbulence effect on the airflow at the top surface 11. In the second operating state, the first vibrating plate 212 extends towards the first side 12 along a direction parallel to the top surface 11 of the base 10, and the second vibrating plate 222 extends towards the second side 13 along a direction parallel to the top surface 11 of the base 10, thus achieving gentle airflow diversion. In the second operating state, activating the first vibrating plate 212 and the second vibrating plate 222 strengthens the airflow diversion effect in both the first and second side directions, preventing direct airflow and improving comfort.
[0075] Optionally, combined Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 8-10 As shown, the first vibrating plate 212 can rotate about a rotation axis extending along its length direction to adjust the angle of the first vibrating plate 212 relative to the airflow.
[0076] The first vibrating plate 212 can rotate not only around the base 10, but also around a rotation axis extending along its length. The rotation axis extending along the length of the first vibrating plate is as follows: Figure 9 As shown by the dashed line a, the first vibrating plate 212 can rotate around its length-extending axis of rotation, thus achieving self-rotation. This allows for precise adjustment of the angle of the first vibrating plate 212 relative to the outlet airflow, thereby adjusting the turbulence direction of the first vibrating plate 212 and achieving a more accurate turbulence effect. In both the first and second working states, the first vibrating plate 212 can rotate around its length-extending axis of rotation. By adjusting the rotation angle of the first vibrating plate 212, the relative angle between the first vibrating plate 212 and the outlet airflow can be adjusted, thereby changing the airflow direction.
[0077] Optionally, combined Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 8-10 As shown, the second vibrating plate 222 can rotate about a rotation axis extending along its length direction to adjust the angle of the second vibrating plate 222 relative to the airflow.
[0078] The second vibrating plate 222 can rotate not only around the base 10, but also around a rotation axis extending along its length. The rotation axis extending along the length of the second vibrating plate is as follows: Figure 9 As shown by the dashed line b, the second vibrating plate 222 can rotate around its length-extending axis of rotation, thus enabling precise adjustment of the angle between the second vibrating plate 222 and the outlet airflow, thereby adjusting the turbulence direction of the second vibrating plate 222 and achieving a more accurate turbulence effect. In both the first and second operating states, the second vibrating plate 222 can rotate around its length-extending axis of rotation. By adjusting the rotation angle of the second vibrating plate 222, the relative angle between the second vibrating plate 222 and the outlet airflow can be adjusted, thereby changing the airflow direction.
[0079] In both the first and second operating states, the first vibrating plate 212 and the second vibrating plate 222 can rotate around a rotation axis extending along their length. By setting the first and second vibrating plates 212 and 222 to be able to rotate on their own, and by adjusting the rotation angle, the flow direction of the turbulent airflow can be precisely adjusted, thereby achieving air delivery effects in multiple airflow directions.
[0080] Optionally, the turbulence assembly 100 for the air conditioner further includes a third drive unit and a fourth drive unit. The third drive unit is driven to connect with the first vibrating plate 212 to drive the first vibrating plate 212 to rotate about a rotation axis extending along its length direction. The fourth drive unit is driven to connect with the second vibrating plate 222 to drive the second vibrating plate 222 to rotate about a rotation axis extending along its length direction.
[0081] The third drive unit provides a stable driving force for the first vibrating plate 212 to rotate about its length-extending axis of rotation, enabling precise angle adjustment of the first vibrating plate 212 under different operating conditions. The third drive unit can be a third motor. The fourth drive unit provides a stable driving force for the second vibrating plate 222 to rotate about its length-extending axis of rotation, enabling precise angle adjustment of the second vibrating plate 222 under different operating conditions. The fourth drive unit can be a fourth motor.
[0082] Combination Figure 1-5 As shown, this embodiment of the present disclosure provides an air conditioner, including a housing 40 and a baffle assembly 100 for an air conditioner as described in any of the above-disclosed embodiments. The housing 40 is provided with an air outlet 41; the base 10 of the baffle assembly 100 is connected to the housing 40, and the baffle portion 20 is provided at the air outlet 41.
[0083] The air conditioner provided in this embodiment includes the airflow deflector 100 for an air conditioner as described in any of the above-disclosed embodiments, and therefore has all the beneficial effects of the airflow deflector 100 for an air conditioner as described in any of the above-disclosed embodiments, which will not be repeated here.
[0084] Optionally, combined Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the length direction of the base 10 is consistent with the length direction of the air outlet 41.
[0085] With the length direction of the base 10 aligned with the length direction of the air outlet 41, the baffle assembly 100 can better adapt to the shape of the air outlet 41, enabling more comprehensive baffled air delivery. Multiple first baffles 21 and multiple second baffles 22 can be arranged along the length direction of the air outlet 41, thereby uniformly baffled the entire airflow.
[0086] Optionally, combined Figure 1-3As shown, the base 10 is movably connected to the housing 40. The base 10 can drive the turbulence-disrupting part 20 to move relative to the air outlet 41 between a first position located above the air outlet 411 and a second position located below the air outlet 412. In the first position, the base 10 is tilted away from the air outlet 41 in the direction towards the air outlet 412, and the turbulence-disrupting part 20 is in a first working state. In the second position, the base 10 is tilted away from the air outlet 41 in the direction towards the air outlet 411, and the turbulence-disrupting part 20 is in the first working state. In any intermediate position between the first and second positions, the top surface 11 of the base 10 corresponds to the air outlet 41, and the turbulence-disrupting part 20 is in a second working state.
[0087] When the base 10 and the baffle 20 are located in the first position above the air outlet 411, the base 10 is tilted away from the air outlet 41 in a direction towards the air outlet 412 below it. The base 10 forms an extension of the upper profile of the air duct, which can guide the airflow downward. At this time, the baffle 20 is in the first working state. The first baffle 21 and the second baffle 22 are located on the top surface 11 of the base 10, and the top surface 11 faces the airflow. The angle of the first baffle 21 and the second baffle 22 can guide the airflow.
[0088] The first baffle 21 includes a first vibrating plate 212, and the second baffle 22 includes a second vibrating plate 222. Both the first and second vibrating plates 212 and 222 are disposed on the top surface 11 and are capable of rotating about a rotation axis extending along their own length. When the first vibrating plate 212 or the second vibrating plate 222 rotates to the left relative to the flow direction of the outlet airflow to form a 90° angle with the outlet airflow, this is defined as +90°. When the first vibrating plate 212 or the second vibrating plate 222 rotates to the right relative to the flow direction of the outlet airflow to form a 90° angle with the outlet airflow, this is defined as -90°. When the first and second vibrating plates 212 and 222 rotate to be parallel to the outlet airflow direction, the outlet airflow sinks downwards. When the first and second vibrating plates 212 and 222 rotate to the left to form an angle of 0 to 90° with the outlet airflow, the outlet airflow sinks to the lower left. Figure 1 As shown, the first vibrating plate 212 and the second vibrating plate 222 rotate to the right to form an angle of -90 to 0° with the airflow, and the airflow sinks to the right and downward. Figure 1 The direction indicated by the middle arrow is the airflow direction of the downward and rightward airflow. In the first working position, the first vibrating plate 212 and the second vibrating plate 222 can be activated to resonate and turbulently the airflow, which is suitable for the warm air downward mode, and can enhance the downward flow of warm air and output a gentle breeze.
[0089] When the base 10 and the baffle 20 are in the second position below the air outlet 412, the base 10 is tilted away from the air outlet 41 in the direction of upward movement towards the air outlet 411. The base 10 forms an extension of the lower profile of the air duct, which can guide the airflow upward. At this time, the baffle 20 is in the first working state. The first baffle 21 and the second baffle 22 are located on the top surface 11 of the base 10, and the top surface 11 faces the airflow. The angle of the first baffle 21 and the second baffle 22 can guide the airflow.
[0090] The first airflow spoiler 21 includes a first vibrating plate 212, and the second airflow spoiler 22 includes a second vibrating plate 222. Both the first and second vibrating plates 212 and 222 are disposed on the top surface 11 and are capable of rotating about a rotation axis extending along their own length. When the first and second vibrating plates 212 and 222 rotate to be parallel to the direction of the outlet airflow, the outlet airflow rises upwards. Figure 2 As shown, when the first vibrating plate 212 and the second vibrating plate 222 rotate to the left to form an angle of 0 to 90° with the airflow, the airflow rises to the upper left. Figure 2 The direction indicated by the middle arrow is the airflow direction that rises to the upper left. The first vibrating plate 212 and the second vibrating plate 222 rotate to the right to form an angle of -90° to 0° with the airflow, causing the airflow to rise to the upper right. In the first working position, the first vibrating plate 212 and the second vibrating plate 222 can activate vibration to resonate and turbulently turbulent the airflow, which is suitable for the cold air rising mode, enhancing the upward movement of cold air and outputting a gentle breeze.
[0091] When the base 10 and the baffle 20 are located in any intermediate position between the first position and the second position, the top surface 11 of the base 10 corresponds to the air outlet 41, the baffle 20 is in the second working state, the first baffle 21 and the second baffle 22 are located on the first side 12 and the second side 13 opposite to the top surface 11 respectively, which can cause the airflow to be diverted to the first side 12 and the second side 13.
[0092] The first spoiler 21 includes a first vibrating plate 212, and the second spoiler 22 includes a second vibrating plate 222. The first vibrating plate 212 and the second vibrating plate 222 are disposed on the top surface 11 and both are capable of rotating about a rotation axis extending along their own length. Figure 3 As shown, in the second working state, the first vibrating plate 212 and the second vibrating plate 222 rotate along the width direction of the base 10 to the first side 12 and the second side 13 of the top surface 11, respectively. The length direction of the base 10 is consistent with the length direction of the air outlet 41. At this time, the first vibrating plate 212 and the second vibrating plate 222 achieve a diversion effect on the airflow. Turning on the vibration of the first vibrating plate 212 and the second vibrating plate 222 can disperse the airflow and form auxiliary airflows towards the upper and lower sides of the air outlet 41. Figure 3The direction indicated by the middle arrow is the direction of the auxiliary airflow. This enhances the splitting effect between the two directions, preventing the airflow from blowing directly on the user and improving comfort.
[0093] Optionally, during the movement between the first position and the second position, the top surface 11 of the base 10 is positioned toward the air outlet 41 so that the turbulence section 20 can always act on the airflow.
[0094] This allows the turbulence-disrupting part 20 to effectively turbulent the airflow at the outlet, while also allowing the base 10 and the turbulence-disrupting part 20 to guide the airflow at the outlet.
[0095] Optionally, the air conditioner includes a fifth drive unit 30, which is disposed in the housing 40. The fifth drive unit 30 includes a fifth motor 31 and a linkage mechanism 32. The linkage mechanism 32 is connected to the base 10 for transmission, and the fifth motor 31 is connected to the linkage mechanism 32 for driving, so as to drive the linkage mechanism 32 to move the base 10 and the turbulence part 20 between a first position and a second position.
