DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0083] The specific embodiments of the present disclosure are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely intended to illustrate and explain the present disclosure, and are not intended to limit the present disclosure.

[0084] In the present disclosure, the orientation words such as "up, down, front, back, left, right" used without the opposite description can refer to the front, back, up, down, left and right of Figures 2 to 4 and Figures 12 to 24 the accompanying drawings. Among them, Figures 15 to 19The corresponding indoor unit is a floor-standing indoor unit, Figures 20 to 24 The corresponding indoor unit is a wall-mounted indoor unit. The front-to-back direction, the left-to-right direction, and the up-to-down direction can refer to the "length direction, the width direction, and the thickness direction" in Figure 2 The "inside and outside" refers to the inside and outside of the contour of each component. The terms "first" and "second" are used to distinguish one element from another element, and do not have sequentiality and importance. In addition, the following description, when referring to the drawings, the same reference numerals in different drawings represent the same or similar elements, and the present disclosure does not repeat the same.

[0085] According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, an air outlet device is provided, which, as shown in Figures 1 to 24 The air outlet device includes a housing 1 and an air outlet member 2 including a front plate 21 and a side plate 22 provided on the side of the front plate 21. The front plate 21 is provided with a front air outlet 211, and the side plate 22 is provided with at least one side air outlet 221. The side plate 22 is provided with a guide surface 223 at least on the rear side of the side air outlet 221. The guide surface 223 guides the airflow to flow to the side air outlet 221 and / or the front air outlet 211. The air outlet member 2 is movably arranged in the housing 1 along the front-to-back direction and has a retreat position and a first push-out position. In the retreat position, the housing 1 covers the side air outlet 221. In the first push-out position, the air outlet member 2 is pushed out of the housing 1 and exposes the side air outlet 221.

[0086] Through the above technical solution, in the air outlet device provided by the present disclosure, the front air outlet 211 is used for front air outlet. Since the air outlet member 2 can move forward and backward, that is, the front plate 21 and the front air outlet 211 can move forward and backward. When the front air outlet 211 moves from the retreat position to the first push-out position, the distance of the front air outlet 211 moving forward is the increased air outlet distance, that is, the forward movement of the front air outlet 211 can increase the air supply distance of the air outlet device. Therefore, the air outlet device of the present disclosure is suitable for improving the air supply distance of itself.

[0087] In addition, in the retracted position, the side air outlet 221 is covered by the shell 1, so that the side air outlet 221 is limited to air outlet, and at this time, the front air outlet 211 is used for air outlet. In the first pushed-out position, since the air outlet piece 2 is pushed out of the shell 1, the side air outlet 221 is arranged staggered with the shell 1, and the side air outlet 221 is exposed, so that the side air outlet 221 is in an exposed state, that is, the side air outlet 221 is opened in an exposed manner, and at this time, the front air outlet 211 and the side air outlet 221 are used for air outlet. In this way, on the one hand, the air outlet amount of the air outlet piece 2 can be increased, and on the other hand, the side air outlet 221 is arranged at an angle with the front air outlet 211, which can expand the air outlet angle of the air outlet piece 2, thereby increasing the air outlet range, so that the user experience can be improved. Therefore, the user can arrange the air outlet piece 2 in the retracted position and the first pushed-out position according to the needs, so that the above-mentioned arrangement is beneficial to the diversity of the air outlet of the air outlet device.

[0088] In addition, the air guide surface 223 can guide the air flow to flow from back to front to the side air outlet 221 and / or guide the air flow to flow to the front air outlet 211, thereby ensuring the air volume of the side air outlet 221 and the front air outlet 211 in the first pushed-out position.

[0089] Therefore, the above-mentioned air outlet device can improve the air outlet distance, increase the air outlet amount and the air outlet angle, improve the air outlet range, and ensure the accurate flow of the air flow, thereby improving the air outlet effect.

[0090] It should be noted that since the side plate 22 is arranged on the side of the front plate 21, that is, at least part of the side plate 22 can be arranged on the side of the front plate 21. In some embodiments, the side plate 22 can be arranged around the front plate 21, and the side plate 22 is configured as an annular plate, that is, the upper side, the lower side, the left side and the right side of the front plate 21 can be provided with part of the side plate 22, and the arrangement position and the number of the side air outlet 221 can be designed as needed.

[0091] In some embodiments, the part of the side plate 22 located on the rear side of the front plate 21 can extend inwardly from front to back at an angle, so that the side plate 22 and the front plate 21 are arranged at an angle.

[0092] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the air guide surface 223 can be configured as an arc surface, a straight surface or a stepped surface. The present disclosure can be designed as needed.

[0093] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, with reference to Figure 9As shown in FIG. 1, the air guide surface 223 can be configured as a stepped surface, and include a first surface 2231 and a second surface 2232. The side air outlet 221 can be arranged on the first surface and / or the second surface. In this way, the side air outlet 221 can blow air in a direction perpendicular to the first surface 2231, and / or blow air in a direction perpendicular to the second surface 2232, so as to facilitate control of the orientation of the side air outlet 221.

[0094] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, with reference to Figure 8 As shown in FIG. 1, the shell 1 can include an air outlet channel 12 and an air duct plate 13 surrounding the air outlet channel 12. The air inlet of the air guide surface 223 is connected to the air outlet channel 12, and the air guide surface 223 has the same orientation as the air duct plate 13 on the same side. In this way, when the air flow passes through the air duct plate 13 to the air guide surface 223 on the same side, the air guide surface 223 can continue to guide the air flow in the same orientation, thereby reducing air volume loss and improving the smoothness of air flow.

[0095] In some embodiments, the air outlet channel 12 is divided into air duct plates 13 on both sides of the front plate 21 in the width direction. The side plate can be divided into air guide surfaces 223 and side air outlets 221 on both sides of the front plate 21 in the width direction.

[0096] In some embodiments, the cross section of the side plate 22 can be configured as an inclined straight plate surface, and the part of the air duct plate on the same side as the side plate is connected. In this way, the side plate 22 is connected to the air duct plate 13 on the same side, avoiding leakage.

[0097] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, with reference to Figures 1 to 20 As shown in FIG. 1, at least one air guide plate 27 is arranged in the side air outlet. In this way, the air guide plate 27 can guide the air flow to flow in a predetermined direction. That is, the air guide plate 27 can extend in the predetermined direction.

[0098] It should be noted that since the air guide plate 27 is arranged in the side air outlet 221, the air guide plate 27 is arranged in a spaced manner with the wall surface surrounding the side air outlet 221, so that the part of the side air outlet 221 between the air guide plate 27 and the wall surface can blow air.

[0099] In some embodiments, for the air guide plate 27, with reference to Figure 7 As shown in FIG. 1, the air guide plate 27 can be fixedly connected in the side air outlet 221. In this way, the structural strength of the air guide plate 27 can be improved, avoiding excessive deformation of the air guide plate 27, thereby improving the service life of the air guide plate 27. In addition, avoiding excessive deformation of the air guide plate 27 can also ensure the air guide effect of the air guide plate 27.

[0100] In some embodiments, the air guide plate 27 can be integrally formed with the side plate 22. In this way, the connection between the air guide plate 27 and the side plate 22 can be omitted, improving the assembly efficiency and ensuring the connection strength.

[0101] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 8 As shown in , the shell 1 can include an air outlet channel 12 and an air duct plate 13 surrounding the air outlet channel 12, and the air duct plate 13 can have the same trend as the air deflector 27 arranged on the same side. Wherein, the air outlet member 2 can be arranged downstream of the air outlet channel 12, so that when the air outlet member 2 is pushed out, that is, when the side air outlet 221 is exposed, the air deflector 27 can continue to guide the airflow to flow in this trend when the airflow flows to the air deflector 27 on the same side through the air duct plate 13, thereby reducing the loss of air volume and improving the smoothness of airflow.

[0102] In some embodiments, the air duct plate 13 and the air deflector 27 can both be configured as straight plates. In other embodiments, the air duct plate 13 and the air deflector 27 can both be configured as arc-shaped plates.

[0103] In some embodiments, the side plate 22 can be provided with an air deflector 27 on each side of the front plate 21 in the width direction, and the side plate 22 can be provided with a side air outlet 221 on each side of the front plate 21 in the width direction, and the present disclosure does not limit this.

[0104] In some embodiments, in the implementation where the air deflector 27 is fixed in the side air outlet 221, referring to Figure 7 As shown in , a connecting rib 224 can be further arranged in the side air outlet 221, and the connecting rib 224 connects the air deflector 27 and the side plate 22. In this way, the connection strength between the air deflector 27 and the side plate 22 can be improved, thereby further avoiding deformation of the air deflector 27 and improving the reliability of the air deflector 27.

[0105] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 7 As shown in , the air deflector extends along the length direction, and the connecting rib extends along the front-rear direction.

[0106] In other embodiments, referring to Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown in , the air deflector 27 can be rotatably arranged in the side air outlet 221 about a pivot axis perpendicular to the front-rear direction. In this way, the air deflector 27 can also perform air sweeping, thereby being suitable for improving the air outlet angle and the air outlet range. In some embodiments, the air outlet member 2 is provided with a motor 29 for driving the air deflector 27 to rotate.

[0107] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown in FIG. 1, the front plate 21 has a thickness in the front-rear direction; when the air deflector 27 is arranged on at least one side of the front plate 21 in the width direction, the pivot axis of the air deflector 27 extends in the length direction of the front plate 21, or when the air deflector 27 is arranged on at least one side of the front plate 21 in the length direction, the pivot axis of the air deflector 27 extends in the width direction of the front plate 21. In this way, the air deflector 27 arranged on one side of the front plate 21 in the width direction can sweep air to the width range of the front plate 21, for example, when the width direction of the front plate 21 is the left-right direction of the air outlet device, the air deflector 27 can sweep air left and right when rotating, and when the width direction of the front plate 21 is the up-down direction of the air outlet device, the air deflector 27 can sweep air up and down when rotating. Similarly, the air deflector 27 arranged on one side of the front plate 21 in the length direction can sweep air to the length range of the front plate 21, for example, when the length direction of the front plate 21 is the up-down direction of the air outlet device, the air deflector 27 can sweep air up and down when rotating, and when the length direction of the front plate 21 is the left-right direction of the air outlet device, the air deflector 27 can sweep air left and right when rotating.

[0108] In some embodiments, with reference to Figure 8 As shown in FIG. 1, the air deflector 27 can be provided with a plurality of first air deflector holes 271, which are arranged through the air deflector 27 in the thickness direction of the air deflector 27. In this way, the first air deflector holes 271 can disperse the airflow when the airflow flows through the air deflector 27, thereby achieving a soft wind effect.

[0109] In some embodiments, the air deflector 27 can be configured as an arc-shaped plate or a straight plate, and the present disclosure can be adapted as needed.

[0110] In some embodiments, with reference to Figure 10 As shown in FIG. 1, the side air outlet 221 is provided with a cover plate 28, and the cover plate 28 is provided with a plurality of second air deflector holes 281, which are arranged through the cover plate 28 in the thickness direction of the cover plate 28. In this way, the second air deflector holes 281 can also guide the airflow to flow in the preset direction, and in addition, the second air deflector holes 281 can disperse the airflow when the airflow flows through the plurality of second air deflector holes 281, thereby achieving a soft wind effect.

[0111] In some embodiments, with reference to Figure 4 As shown in FIG. 1, the housing 1 includes a support structure 11 supporting the side plate 22, and the side plate 22 is in sliding connection with the support structure 11. In this way, the present disclosure increases the side plate 22 and makes the side plate 22 in sliding connection with the support structure 11, on the one hand, the above-mentioned arrangement eliminates the influence on the movement of the air outlet 2, and on the other hand, the support structure 11 can support the side plate 22, and further support the air outlet 2, thereby improving the reliability of the air outlet 2, and further improving the reliability of the air outlet device.

[0112] It should be noted that, since the side plate 22 is arranged at the side of the front plate 21, on the one hand, the side plate 22 avoids affecting the air outlet of the front plate 21, and on the other hand, the side plate 22 is conveniently connected with the support structure 11 in a sliding manner, wherein the support structure 11 can be connected with the side plate 22 in a sliding manner during the entire movement of the side plate 22. Of course, the support structure 11 can also be disconnected with the side plate 22 before the side plate 22 reaches the limit position, and the present disclosure does not limit this.

[0113] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, referring to Figure 4 、 Figure 12 and Figure 14 , one of the support structure 11 and the side plate 22 can be provided with a support groove 111, and the other can be provided with a support plate 222, and the support plate 222 is connected with the support groove 111 in a sliding manner. In this way, the support plate 222 can be supported in the support groove 111, so as to realize the support of the support structure 11 to the side plate 22. In addition, the sliding connection of the support plate 222 and the support groove 111 can ensure the movement of the air outlet device 2.

[0114] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 4 , the side plate 22 can be provided with a support plate 222, and the support plate 222 and the support groove 111 both have a length in the front-rear direction, and the length of the support plate 222 can be greater than the length of the support groove 111, and the present disclosure does not limit this.

[0115] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 17 and Figure 23 , the air outlet device 2 can also have a second push-out position, which is located on the front side of the first push-out position, and in the second push-out position, the edge of the side plate 22 is spaced apart from the shell 1 to form the first air outlet 10. In this way, in the second push-out position, the edge of the side plate 22 is also spaced apart from the shell 1, so that the first air outlet 10 can be formed between the two spaced positions, and thus the first air outlet 10 can also perform air outlet, so that the arrangement of the first air outlet 10 can also increase the air outlet amount and the air outlet range. Therefore, in the second push-out position, through the common air outlet of the front air outlet 211, the side air outlet 221 and the first air outlet 10, the air outlet distance, the air outlet amount and the air outlet range of the air outlet device can be improved, and thus the air outlet effect of the air outlet device can be improved.

[0125] For example, in some embodiments, the side plate 22 is provided with a side air outlet 221 on one side or both sides in the length direction of the front plate 21.

[0126] For example, in some embodiments, the side plate 22 is provided with a side air outlet 221 on one side or both sides in the length direction of the front plate 21.

[0127] For example, in some embodiments, the side plate 22 is provided with a side air outlet 221 on one side or both sides in the length direction of the front plate 21. Figure 3 For example, in some embodiments, the side plate 22 is provided with a side air outlet 221 on one side or both sides in the length direction of the front plate 21.

[0136] In some embodiments, taking the air outlet device corresponding to the standing indoor unit as an example, and taking the first side 23 as the left side and the second side 24 as the right side as an example, referring to Figure 15 As shown in Figure 16As shown, when the air outlet 2 is in the first extended position, both the left and right side air outlets 221 are exposed. At this time, the front air outlet 211 discharges air forward, the left side air outlet 221 discharges air to the left front, and the right side air outlet 221 discharges air to the right front. In this state, the air outlet device is in the first three-dimensional air outlet mode. (Reference) Figure 17 As shown, when the air outlet 2 is in the second extended position, both the left and right side air outlets 221 are exposed, and the edge of the side plate 22 is spaced from the housing 1 to form the first air outlet 10. At this time, the front air outlet 211 discharges air forward, the left side air outlet 221 discharges air to the left front, and the right side air outlet 221 discharges air to the right front. The first air outlet 10 discharges air circumferentially. At this time, the air outlet device is in the second three-dimensional air outlet mode.

[0137] In some implementations, taking the air outlet device corresponding to a wall-mounted indoor unit as an example, and taking the first side 23 as the upper side and the second side 24 as the lower side, refer to... Figure 20 As shown, when the air outlet 2 is in the retracted position, both the upper and lower side air outlets 221 are covered by the housing 1. At this time, the front air outlet 211 discharges air forward, and the air outlet device is in the front air outlet mode; Reference Figure 21 As shown, when the air outlet 2 is in the first extended position, both the upper and lower side air outlets 221 are exposed. At this time, the front air outlet 211 discharges air forward, the upper side air outlet 221 discharges air upward and forward, and the lower side air outlet 221 discharges air downward and forward. In this state, the air outlet device is in the first three-dimensional air outlet mode. (Reference) Figure 22 As shown, when the air outlet 2 is in the second extended position, both the upper side air outlet 221 and the lower side air outlet 221 are exposed. The edge of the side plate 22 is spaced from the housing 1 to form the first air outlet 10. At this time, the front air outlet 211 discharges air forward, the upper side air outlet 221 discharges air forward and upward, and the lower side air outlet 221 discharges air forward and downward. The first air outlet 10 discharges air circumferentially. At this time, the air outlet device is in the second three-dimensional air outlet mode.

[0138] In some embodiments of this disclosure, reference is made to Figure 18 , Figure 19 , Figure 23 and Figure 24 As shown, the air outlet 2 is rotatably mounted on the housing 1 around a rotation axis perpendicular to the front-rear direction. In this way, when the air outlet 2 rotates, the orientation of the front air outlet 211 can be adjusted, thereby adapting to the adjustment of the air outlet direction of the front panel 21 and improving the versatility of the air outlet of the front panel 21.

[0139] In some embodiments of this disclosure, reference is made to Figure 18 , Figure 19 , Figure 23 andFigure 24 As shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the air outlet member 2 is rotatable relative to the housing 1 about the rotation axis A. When the air outlet member 2 is rotated, at least part of the air outlet member 2 is adapted to be spaced apart from the housing 1 to form a second air outlet 20 with the housing 1. In this way, the second air outlet 20 can also be used for air outlet, and thus the air outlet diversity of the air outlet device can be further improved.

[0140] In some embodiments, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the rotation axis A extends along the length direction of the front plate 21, and the air outlet member 2 has a first rotation position and a second rotation position. In the first rotation position, the side plate 22 is located on one side of the front plate 21 in the width direction, and forms the second air outlet 20 with the housing 1, so that air is outlet through the front plate 21 and the second air outlet 20. In this way, in the first rotation position, the second air outlet 20 can be used for lateral air outlet. Figure 18 Figure 19 Figure 23 Figure 24 In some embodiments, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the rotation axis A extends along the length direction of the front plate 21, and the air outlet member 2 has a first rotation position and a second rotation position. In the first rotation position, the side plate 22 is located on one side of the front plate 21 in the width direction, and forms the second air outlet 20 with the housing 1, so that air is outlet through the front plate 21 and the second air outlet 20. In this way, in the first rotation position, the second air outlet 20 can be used for lateral air outlet.

[0141] In some embodiments, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the rotation axis A extends along the length direction of the front plate 21, and the air outlet member 2 has a first rotation position and a second rotation position. In the first rotation position, the side plate 22 is located on one side of the front plate 21 in the width direction, and forms the second air outlet 20 with the housing 1, so that air is outlet through the front plate 21 and the second air outlet 20. In this way, in the first rotation position, the second air outlet 20 can be used for lateral air outlet. Figure 18 Figure 19 Figure 23 Figure 24 In some embodiments, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the rotation axis A extends along the length direction of the front plate 21, and the air outlet member 2 has a first rotation position and a second rotation position. In the first rotation position, the side plate 22 is located on one side of the front plate 21 in the width direction, and forms the second air outlet 20 with the housing 1, so that air is outlet through the front plate 21 and the second air outlet 20. In this way, in the first rotation position, the second air outlet 20 can be used for lateral air outlet.

[0142] In some embodiments, the side plate 22 is provided with a side air outlet 221 on the first side 23 and the second side 24. In this way, in the first rotation position, the side air outlet 221 on the first side 23 or the second side 24, and the second air outlet 20 can all be used for air outlet, and in the second rotation position, the side air outlet 221 on the first side 23 and the second side 24, and the second air outlet 20 can all be used for air outlet.

[0143] In some embodiments, the air outlet device corresponds to a floor standing indoor unit, and the first side 23 is the left side and the second side 24 is the right side. As shown in Figs. 1 and 2, when the air outlet member 2 is in the first rotation position, the second air outlet 20 and the side air outlet 221 on the left side or the right side can all be used for air outlet. At this time, the air outlet device is in the left front air outlet mode or the right front air outlet mode. As shown in Figs. 1 and 2, when the air outlet member 2 is in the second rotation position, the second air outlet 20 and the side air outlet 221 on the left side and the right side can all be used for air outlet. At this time, the air outlet device is in the left and right front air outlet mode. Figure 1 Figures 1 to 18

[0144] ​​​​​​​​In some implementations, taking the air outlet device corresponding to a wall-mounted indoor unit as an example, and taking the first side 23 as the upper side and the second side 24 as the lower side, refer to... Figure 4 As shown, when the air outlet 2 is in the first rotating position, both the upper second air outlet 20 and the side air outlet 221 can emit air. In this mode, the airflow first rises and then gradually descends, thus the air outlet is in "sky curtain" mode. In this mode, the air outlet can cool the air, which flows slowly downwards under its own gravity, covering the user like a gentle breeze, thereby improving user comfort. Alternatively, both the lower second air outlet 20 and the side air outlet 221 can emit air. In this mode, the airflow flows downwards, thus the air outlet is in "carpet wind" mode. In this mode, the air outlet can heat the air, which flows downwards and then slowly rises, covering the user like a carpet wind from bottom to top, thereby improving user comfort. (Reference) Figure 4 As shown, when the air outlet 2 is in the second rotation position, the side air outlets 221 located on the upper and lower sides, as well as the second air outlet 20, can both emit air. At this time, the air outlet device is in the upper, lower and front air outlet mode.

[0145] In some embodiments, the air outlet 2 can be movably disposed on the housing 1 in the front-back direction, or it can be rotatably disposed on the housing 1 about a rotation axis perpendicular to the front-back direction. This disclosure does not limit this.

[0146] In some embodiments, the air outlet device may include a display module, and the air outlet component may be integrally formed with the display module 4. In this way, the air outlet component moves synchronously with the display module. The display module 4 is used to display parameters of the air outlet device, such as temperature and airflow mode. However, when either the display module 4 or the air outlet component 2 moves, they need to be spaced apart to allow for a movement gap and prevent interference. This movement gap would result in a "black seam" between the display module 4 and the air outlet component 2, leading to poor consistency in the appearance of the air outlet device. This disclosure eliminates the need for a movement gap between the display module 4 and the air outlet component 2 by adapting the display module 4 and the air outlet component 2 to move synchronously, thereby eliminating the "black seam" between them. This improves the overall integrity of the display module 4 and the air outlet component 2, resulting in better consistency in the appearance of the air outlet device.

[0147] In some implementations, reference Figure 4 As shown, the display module 4 can be arranged on one side of the air outlet 2 along its length. When the indoor unit corresponding to the air outlet device is a vertical indoor unit, the display module 4 can be located on the upper side of the air outlet 2.

[0148] In some embodiments of this disclosure, reference is made to Figure 4As shown in FIG. 1, the front plate 21 can include an air outlet grille 212, which can have a front air outlet 211. In this way, the air outlet grille 212 can disperse the airflow when air is blown out, so that the airflow blown out of the air outlet grille 212 is soft wind, thereby improving the user experience.

[0149] In some embodiments, the front plate 21 can include an air outlet panel with through holes. In this way, the through holes on the air outlet panel can constitute the front air outlet 211 to blow air forward. The air outlet panel can be provided with a plurality of through holes, so that the plurality of through holes can also disperse the airflow to achieve soft wind.

[0150] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, with reference to Figure 1 As shown in FIG. 1, the front plate 21 has a rear air outlet surface 213 and a front air outlet surface 214, and the area of the front air outlet surface 214 can be greater than that of the rear air outlet surface 213. In this way, the airflow is adapted to be diffused at the front air outlet surface 214.

[0151] In some embodiments, the width of the front end of the front plate 21 can be greater than the width of the rear end of the front plate 21. In this way, on the one hand, the area of the front air outlet surface 214 can be greater than that of the rear air outlet surface 213, and on the other hand, the diffusion of the airflow is further facilitated.

[0152] In some embodiments, with reference to Figure 2 As shown in FIG. 1, the side plate 22 can be configured as an arc-shaped plate or a planar plate, and the present disclosure does not limit this.

[0153] In some embodiments, with reference to Figure 8 As shown in FIG. 1, the front plate 21 can be configured as a planar plate or an arc-shaped plate. In this way, the design of the front plate being wider at the front and narrower at the rear is facilitated, and the area of the front air outlet surface 214 being greater than that of the rear air outlet surface 213 is facilitated.

[0154] In some embodiments, with reference to Figures 16 to 19 As shown in FIG. 1, the side plate 22 can be inclined, that is, the cross section of the side plate 22 can be inclined along the front-rear direction, and the housing 1 is provided with a slope surface matched with the shape of the side plate 22. Here, the side plate 22 can be inclined inward from front to rear, and the provision of the slope surface can avoid interference between the side plate 22 and the housing 1 during movement. That is, the housing 1 is provided with a flared portion, the air outlet member 2 is arranged at the flared portion, and the surface of the housing surrounding the flared portion includes the slope surface.

[0155] In some embodiments, the front plate 21 includes an air outlet grille 212, which includes a plurality of air outlet grilles 2121, and the air outlet grilles can be configured as straight strip-shaped air outlet grilles, inclined strip-shaped air outlet grilles, or grid-shaped air outlet grilles. In this way, the air outlet grilles 2121 can be configured in various shapes to meet different air outlet requirements. Among them, with reference to Figures 20 to 24and ​ As shown, the output style can be a diagonal stripe style, that is, forming an acute angle with the front and back directions. It can also be understood as a diagonal stripe style extending along the length direction and sloping towards the width direction at an acute angle. (Reference) ​ As shown, the style can also be a straight strip style, that is, it is perpendicular to the front and back direction. It can also be understood as the straight strip style extending along the length direction and being perpendicular to the width direction.

[0156] In some implementations, the front air outlet 211 is used for air outlet in the retracted position, the first ejection position, the second ejection position, the first rotation position, and the second rotation position.

[0157] According to a second aspect of this disclosure, an indoor unit is provided, including the air outlet device as described above. This indoor unit possesses all the beneficial effects of the aforementioned air outlet device, which will not be elaborated upon herein.

[0158] In some embodiments, the indoor unit can be configured as a vertical indoor unit. In this case, the length direction of the front panel 21 corresponds to the vertical direction of the indoor unit, and the width direction of the front panel 21 corresponds to the horizontal direction of the indoor unit.

[0159] In some implementations, the above-described indoor unit can be configured as a floor-standing indoor unit. (See reference) ​ As shown, in the first push-out position, the side air outlets located on both sides of the front panel in the width direction are used to discharge air to the left and right; or, in the second push-out position, the first air outlet is used to discharge air upward, downward, left and right; or, in the first rotation position, the second air outlet is used to discharge air to the left or right; or, in the second rotation position, the second air outlet is used to discharge air to the left and right.

[0160] Thus, in the first ejection position, the front air outlet 211 ejects air forward, the left side air outlet 221 ejects air to the left front, and the right side air outlet 221 ejects air to the right front. At this time, the air outlet device is in the first three-dimensional air outlet mode.

[0161] In the second ejection position, the front air outlet 211 ejects air forward, the left side air outlet 221 ejects air to the left front, the right side air outlet 221 ejects air to the right front, and the first air outlet 10 ejects air circumferentially. At this time, the air outlet device is in the second three-dimensional air outlet mode.

[0162] In the first rotation position, air can be vented from the side air outlet 221 located on the left or right side, as well as the second air outlet 20. At this time, the air outlet device is in the left front air outlet mode or the right front air outlet mode.

[0163] In the second rotation position, air can be vented from the side air outlets 221 on the left and right sides, as well as the second air outlet 20. At this time, the air outlet device is in the left and right front air outlet mode.

[0164] In some embodiments, the indoor unit described above can be configured as a wall-mounted indoor unit. In this case, the length direction of the front panel 21 corresponds to the left-right direction of the indoor unit, and the width direction of the front panel 21 corresponds to the up-down direction of the indoor unit.

[0165] In some embodiments, the indoor unit described above can be configured as a wall-mounted indoor unit, and the first air outlet and the second air outlet can be configured to be rotatable. ​ In some embodiments, the indoor unit described above can be configured as a wall-mounted indoor unit, and the first air outlet and the second air outlet can be configured to be rotatable.

[0166] In the first extension position, the upper side air outlet 221 and the lower side air outlet 221 are both exposed, and in this case, the front air outlet 211 blows air forward, the upper side air outlet 221 blows air forward and upward, and the lower side air outlet 221 blows air forward and downward, and in this case, the air outlet device is in a first three-dimensional air blowing mode.

[0167] In the second extension position, the front air outlet 211 blows air forward, the upper side air outlet 221 blows air forward and upward, and the lower side air outlet 221 blows air forward and downward, and the first air outlet 10 blows air circumferentially, and in this case, the air outlet device is in a second three-dimensional air blowing mode.

[0168] In the first rotation position, the second air outlet 20 on the upper side and the side air outlet 221 can both blow air, and in this case, the air flow first flows upward and then gradually sinks downward, and thus the air outlet device is in a "ceiling curtain air" mode. Alternatively, the second air outlet 20 on the lower side and the side air outlet 221 can both blow air, and in this case, the air flow flows downward, and thus the air outlet device is in a "carpet air" mode.

[0169] In the second rotation position, the side air outlets 221 on the upper side and the lower side, and the second air outlet 20 can all blow air, and in this case, the air outlet device is in an up-down front air blowing mode.
