[0049] This disclosure provides a multi-directional air outlet wall-mounted air conditioner indoor unit.

[0050] Optionally, the multi-directional air outlet wall-mounted air conditioner indoor unit includes a housing 1, a front panel assembly, and a first air guide plate 21. The housing 1 is provided with a front air outlet 11 at the front, a lower air outlet 12 at the bottom, and a side air outlet 13 at the side. The front air outlet 11, the lower air outlet 12, and the side air outlet 13 are all interconnected and connected to the air outlet channel 3 inside the housing 1. The front panel assembly is located at the front of the housing 1 and includes a front cover plate 101 and an inner partition plate 102 located on one side of the inner wall of the front cover plate 101. The first air guide plate 21 is rotatably disposed at the front air outlet 11 to open or close the front air outlet 11. The front cover plate 101 is disposed above the first air guide plate 21. When the first air guide plate 21 closes the front air outlet 11, the front cover plate 101, the first air guide plate 21, and the inner partition plate 102 form a front air outlet cavity 103. The front air outlet 103 is connected to the air outlet channel 3, and the side air outlet 13 is located on the side of the front air outlet 103. When the first air guide plate 21 closes the front air outlet 11, the air in the air outlet channel 3 is sent out from the lower air outlet 12 and the side air outlet 13.

[0051] The housing 1 has interconnected front air outlet 11, lower air outlet 12, and side air outlet 13, all of which are connected to the air outlet duct 3 within the housing 1. This allows the air conditioning unit to deliver air generated by its heat exchanger through one or more of these outlets, improving the versatility of the air outlets and enhancing user experience.

[0052] The first air guide plate 21 is rotatably mounted on the front air outlet 11, and can open or close the front air outlet 11. Optionally, the first air guide plate 21 can open the front air outlet 11 by rotating the first air guide plate 21 forward 90°, such as... Figure 2 As shown.

[0053] Optionally, such as Figure 2 The front air outlet 11 is located at the lower part of the front of the housing 1.

[0054] Optionally, the multi-directional air outlet wall-mounted air conditioner indoor unit also includes a front panel assembly. The front panel assembly is located at the front of the housing 1 and includes a front cover plate 101 and an inner partition plate 102 located on one side of the inner wall of the front cover plate 101. The front cover plate 101 is located above the first air guide plate 21. When the first air guide plate 21 closes the front air outlet 11, the front cover plate 101, the first air guide plate 21, and the inner partition plate 102 form a front air outlet cavity 103. The front air outlet cavity 103 is connected to the air outlet duct 3, and a side air outlet 13 is located on the side of the front air outlet cavity 103 so that the air in the air outlet duct 3 enters the front air outlet cavity 103 and is sent out from the side air outlet 13.

[0055] The first air guide plate 21 is located at the lower part of the front cover plate 101. When the first air guide plate 21 closes the front air outlet 11, the front cover plate 101 and the first air guide plate 21 together constitute the user-facing appearance panel of the air conditioner indoor unit.

[0056] When the first air guide plate 21 closes the front air outlet 11, the front cover plate 101, the first air guide plate 21, and the inner partition plate 102 form the front air outlet cavity 103, as shown. Figure 5 As shown. The front air outlet cavity 103 is a cavity structure with a certain width, and the side air outlet 13 is located on the side of the front air outlet cavity 103. The air flowing out from the air outlet channel 3 can further flow into the front air outlet cavity 103 and be sent out from the side air outlet 13 of the front air outlet cavity 103.

[0057] The front cover 101 and the inner partition 102 are arranged in a front-rear direction, and the front cover 101 is located in front of the inner partition 102. The front cover 101 can be the upper part of the exterior panel of the air conditioner indoor unit. The inner partition 102 is disposed between the front air outlet cavity 103 and the heat exchanger inside the air conditioner indoor unit. Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown.

[0058] Optionally, the side air outlet 13 includes a first side air outlet located on one side of the front air outlet cavity 103 and a second side air outlet located on the other side of the front air outlet cavity 103.

[0059] The side air outlet 13 includes a first side air outlet and a second side air outlet located on both sides of the front air outlet cavity 103. In this way, when the first air guide plate 21 closes the front air outlet 11, air can be delivered from the first side air outlet and the second side air outlet simultaneously, improving the air delivery effect of the air conditioning indoor unit's surround air supply.

[0060] Optionally, the air outlet width of the first side air outlet, the air outlet width of the second side air outlet, and the width of the front air outlet cavity 103 are all the same.

[0061] Optionally, the multi-directional air outlet wall-mounted air conditioner indoor unit also includes a mounting base 5 and a first driving component. The mounting base 5 is located at the lower end of the front air outlet 11; the first driving component is located on the mounting base 5 and is used to drive the first air guide plate 21 to rotate.

[0062] Optionally, the first driving component includes a first motor and a first gear assembly to drive the first air guide plate 21 to rotate, thereby opening or closing the front air outlet 11. Optionally, the first air guide plate 21 is flat, and the rotation angle of the first air guide plate 21 from the state of opening the front air outlet 11 to the state of closing the front air outlet 11 is 90°.

[0063] The mounting base 5 is located at the lower end of the front air outlet 11, and the first driving component is located on the mounting base 5, such as... Figures 1 to 3 As shown. Optionally, the first motor and the first gear assembly of the first drive member are disposed inside the housing of the mounting base 5.

[0064] Optionally, a side air outlet 13 is provided with a side air outlet grille, wherein the mounting base 5 is provided at the lower end of the side air outlet grille; or, a lower air outlet 12 is provided with a lower air outlet grille, wherein the mounting base 5 is provided at the end of the lower air outlet grille.

[0065] The housing of the mounting base 5 can be fixedly installed at the lower end of the side air outlet grille, or at the end of the lower air outlet grille. Alternatively, the housing of the mounting base 5 can be fixedly installed at both the lower end of the side air outlet grille and the end of the lower air outlet grille, thus improving the installation stability of the mounting base 5. Figure 2 As shown.

[0066] Optionally, the side air outlet grille located at the side air outlet 13 includes multiple vertical grille strips, and the multiple vertical grille strips are flush with each other in the front-rear direction of the indoor unit; similarly, the lower air outlet grille located at the lower air outlet 12 includes multiple horizontal grille strips, and the multiple horizontal grille strips are flush with each other in the horizontal direction, such as... Figure 2 As shown.

[0067] Optionally, the first air guide plate 21 includes a first guide plate mounting end that is driven to be connected to the first driving member, wherein the first guide plate mounting end is provided with a first clearance notch 211 for avoiding the mounting base 5 during rotation.

[0068] The first clearance notch 211 allows the first air guide plate 21 to flip smoothly. Optionally, the size of the first clearance notch 211 can be set according to the size of the outer shell of the mounting base 5 that the first air guide plate 21 surrounds during the flipping process. Optionally, the mounting base 5 includes a first mounting base and a second mounting base respectively disposed on both sides of the lower end of the front air outlet 11, and the first air guide plate 21 includes a first left clearance notch for avoiding the first mounting base and a first right clearance notch for avoiding the second mounting base.

[0069] Optionally, the mounting base 5 includes a base front side plate 51 located at the front, wherein when the first air guide plate 21 closes the front air outlet 11, the front cover plate 101, the first air guide plate 21 and the base front side plate 51 constitute a complete front panel surface.

[0070] like Figure 1 As shown, when the first air guide plate 21 is in the closed state of the front air outlet 11, the front cover plate 101, the first air guide plate 21, and the base front side plate 51 of the mounting base 5 constitute a roughly complete front panel of the air conditioning indoor unit. Optionally, the front panel formed by these three components is structurally complete and has a continuous shape, such as a planar shape or an arc shape.

[0071] Optionally, the first driving member can drive the first air guide plate 21 to rotate by an angle A, where 150°≤A≤300°, so that the first air guide plate 21 can rotate to the lower air outlet 12 to close the lower air outlet 12. When the first air guide plate 21 closes the lower air outlet 12, the air in the air outlet channel 3 is sent out from the front air outlet 11.

[0072] The first driving member can drive the first air guide plate 21 to rotate at a relatively large angle. The first driving member drives the first air guide plate 21 to rotate 90° along the first direction, causing it to rotate from a state where the front air outlet 11 is closed to a state where the front air outlet 11 is open; the first driving member continues to drive the first air guide plate 21 to rotate 180° along the first direction, causing it to rotate from a state where the front air outlet 11 is open to a state where the lower air outlet 12 is closed. Figure 10 As shown. In this way, when the indoor unit of the air conditioner is in the cooling upward blowing mode, the first air guide plate 21 blocks the lower air outlet 12, causing the air conditioning air to be sent out from the front air outlet 11. At the same time, the first air guide plate 21 can be stored in the lower air outlet 12, improving the overall aesthetics of the indoor unit of the air conditioner during air supply.

[0073] Optionally, the first clearance notch 211 allows the first air guide plate 21 to smoothly rotate from the state of opening the front air outlet 11 to the state of closing the lower air outlet 12.

[0074] Optionally, a lower air outlet grille is provided at the lower air outlet 12. The housing 1 includes a bottom shell disposed at the bottom, and the bottom shell is disposed at the rear end of the lower air outlet grille. The lower air outlet grille is disposed at a higher height than the bottom shell. When the first air guide plate 21 closes the lower air outlet 12, the first air guide plate 21 is flush with the bottom shell.

[0075] like Figure 10 As shown, the bottom end of the lower air outlet grille is not at the same level as the bottom shell of the indoor unit of the air conditioner. Instead, the bottom end of the lower air outlet grille is higher than the bottom shell. Optionally, the height difference between the bottom end of the lower air outlet grille and the bottom shell is greater than the thickness of the first air guide plate 21. In this way, the lower air outlet grille provides clearance for the first air guide plate 21 to rotate the lower air outlet 12, so that when the first air guide plate 21 closes the lower air outlet 12, the bottom end of the first air guide plate 21 is flush with the bottom shell. Figure 10 As shown.

[0076] Optionally, the air outlet area of ​​the front air outlet 11 is equal to the air outlet area of ​​the lower air outlet 12.

[0077] This allows the first air guide plate 21 to be in a state where the front air outlet 11 is closed, or in a state where the lower air outlet 12 is closed.

[0078] Optionally, the multi-directional air outlet wall-mounted air conditioner indoor unit also includes an inner guide plate 4. The inner guide plate 4 is rotatably disposed inside the housing 1, wherein when the first air guide plate 21 closes the front air outlet 11 and the inner guide plate 4 rotates to the air distribution position 401, air is sent out from the side air outlet 13 and the lower air outlet 12.

[0079] Optionally, the inner guide plate 4 can rotate under the drive of the drive device, so that the inner guide plate 4 is in the upward air guiding, downward air guiding, and air distribution position 401. Optionally, the drive device can be a gear-type drive device driven by an electric motor.

[0080] It is understandable that the inner guide plate 4 rotates to the air distribution position 401 so that the airflow through the outer wall and inner wall of the inner guide plate 4 is approximately the same. For example, when the first air guide plate 21 closes the front air outlet 11 and the inner guide plate 4 rotates to the air distribution position 401, part of the air from the air outlet duct 3 of the indoor air conditioning unit flows through the inner wall of the inner guide plate 4 and is sent out from the side air outlet 13, and the other part flows through the outer wall of the inner guide plate 4 and is sent out from the lower air outlet 12. Alternatively, the air distribution position 401 rotated to by the inner guide plate 4 can also be understood as a position between the upward air guiding position 402 and the downward air guiding position 403.

[0081] The multi-directional air outlet indoor unit of the air conditioner provided in this embodiment can achieve the following air supply modes:

[0082] Air supply mode 1: Multi-directional air outlet mode. The first air guide plate 21 closes the front air outlet 11, and the inner guide plate 4 rotates to the air distribution position 401. The air conditioning unit's air is then delivered from the lower air outlet 12 and the side air outlet 13. When there are two side air outlets 13, the air conditioning unit achieves a three-sided, wraparound air supply mode, preventing direct airflow onto the user and improving the user experience. Figure 6 As shown.

[0083] Air supply mode two: Downward air outlet mode. The first air guide plate 21 closes the front air outlet 11, and the inner guide plate 4 rotates to the downward air outlet position 403. At this time, due to the blocking effect of the inner guide plate 4, the air conditioning air from the indoor unit is delivered from the downward air outlet 12. This air supply mode is suitable for users such as the elderly and children, avoiding problems such as colds for them. Figure 7 As shown.

[0084] Air supply mode three: Maximum air supply mode. The first air guide plate 21 opens the front air outlet 11, and the inner guide plate 4 rotates to the air distribution position 401. At this time, most of the air conditioning air from the indoor unit will be delivered from the front air outlet 11. This mode is suitable for rapid cooling or rapid heating. Figure 4 As shown. At this time, the first air guide plate 21 can be rotated to the position where it blocks the lower air outlet 12, as shown. Figure 10 As shown.

[0085] Airflow Mode 4: Cooling Upward Blowing Mode. The first air guide plate 21 opens the front air outlet 11, and the inner guide plate 4 rotates to the upward airflow position 402. At this time, the air conditioning air from the indoor unit is blown upward from the front air outlet 11. (Example: ...) Figure 11 As shown; at this time, the first air guide plate 21 can be rotated to the position of blocking the lower air outlet 12, as shown. Figure 12 As shown.

[0086] As can be seen, the air conditioner indoor unit provided in this embodiment can realize multiple air supply modes, meet different user needs, and improve user experience.

[0087] Optionally, the air outlet duct 3 includes a first air duct plate 31 and a second air duct plate 32 opposite to the first air duct plate 31, and the first air duct plate 31 is located above the second air duct plate 32.

[0088] The first air duct plate 31 includes an inner air duct plate edge located at the inner end, and the inner guide plate 4 includes an inner guide plate edge located at the inner end. The line connecting the first point 3101 of the air duct plate edge and the second point 41 of the inner guide plate edge forms a first preset line 33. The first preset line 33 passes through the third point of the second air duct plate 32. When the inner guide plate 4 rotates to the air distribution position 401, the distance between the first point 3101 and the second point 41 is W1, and the distance between the second point 41 and the third point is W2. The difference between W2 and W1 is less than or equal to the first air distribution difference.

[0089] It is understandable that the first point 3101, the second point 41, and the third point are all located on the same longitudinal section of the indoor unit of the air conditioner, such as... Figure 9 As shown. In this embodiment, the difference between W2 and W1 is relatively small. Thus, when the inner guide plate 4 is located at the air distribution position 401, the uniformity of the airflow passing through the upper and lower sides of the inner guide plate 4 is improved.

[0090] Optionally, the first air distribution difference is less than or equal to 20mm. Optionally, the difference between W2 and W1 can be 0mm, 5mm, 10mm, 15mm, 20mm, etc.

[0091] Optionally, the distance between the first point 3101 and the third point is W, where the first wind difference is less than or equal to 1 / 4W. It can be understood that W is the sum of W1 and W2.

[0092] Optionally, a position sensor can be used to determine whether the inner guide plate 4 has rotated to the air distribution position 401.
