Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air conditioning technology, and more specifically, to an air conditioner. Background Technology

[0002] Air conditioners are widely used for indoor temperature regulation. In existing air conditioners, a deflector is typically installed at the air outlet to guide the airflow direction. Some deflectors also have a diffuser structure to disperse the airflow, acting as a zero-air deflector. This allows the zero-air deflector to not only guide the airflow but also block the air outlet, regulating the air conditioner's output to zero airflow. However, the versatility of the deflector structure in adjusting the airflow direction and pattern in existing air conditioners still needs improvement. Furthermore, when the deflector structure includes a zero-air deflector with a diffuser, the air outlet's sealing is poor when the air conditioner is off or in standby mode, making internal components susceptible to contamination and damage from dust or impurities. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an air conditioner that solves the technical problems of the limited versatility of existing air guide structures in adjusting the air outlet direction and form, and the easy contamination of internal components by dust and other contaminants when the air conditioner is turned off or in standby mode.

[0004] To solve the above problems, this utility model provides an air conditioner, including a housing and two sets of air guiding structures. The front panel of the housing is provided with two air outlets arranged at intervals in the left-right direction. The housing is provided with an air duct connecting the two air outlets. The air duct is provided with a diverting cone for diverting airflow to the two air outlets.

[0005] Two sets of air guiding structures correspond to one of the air outlets respectively. The air guiding structure includes a first driving component and a second driving component disposed on the housing. The first driving component is driven to a guide plate and is configured to drive the guide plate to rotate around a first vertical axis to open or close the corresponding air outlet. The second driving component is driven to a zero-wind plate with a wind-dispersing structure and is configured to drive the zero-wind plate to rotate around a second vertical axis to open or block at least a partial area of ​​the corresponding air outlet.

[0006] In the air conditioner provided by this utility model, the air guide plate and the zero-air plate can rotate relatively independently under the drive of the first drive assembly and the second drive assembly, respectively. The rotation angle of the air guide plate and the zero-air plate can be flexibly adjusted by the first drive assembly and the second drive assembly according to the user's needs. This allows the air guide plate and the zero-air plate to cooperate in adjusting the airflow pattern of direct airflow or zero-airflow, or to cooperate in adjusting the airflow direction, thereby improving the flexibility and diversity of the airflow pattern and direction adjustment of the air conditioner. In addition, when the air conditioner is in the off or standby state, the first drive assembly can drive the air guide plate to rotate around the first vertical axis to the position of closing the air outlet, and the second drive assembly can drive the zero-air plate to rotate around the second vertical axis to the position of avoiding the air guide plate, thereby closing the air outlet of the air duct. This reduces the occurrence of dust, impurities, etc. entering the casing through the air outlet and causing pollution or even damage to the internal components.

[0007] Optionally, the air conditioner has a wide-angle mode. When the air conditioner is in the wide-angle mode, the mid-plane of the area between the two air guide structures is used as a reference plane. In each air guide structure, the air guide plate is opened and forms an angle with the reference plane with the opening facing forward and the angle range being 60° to 80°. The air guide plate and the air duct sidewall on the same side form a first direct blowing channel for airflow to be blown out.

[0008] Optionally, when the air conditioner is in the wide-angle mode, in each of the air guiding structures, the rear end of the air guide plate is adjacent to the conical sidewall of the diversion cone, the front end of the air guide plate extends outward to the air outlet, and the zero-air plate is located in front of the air guide plate.

[0009] Optionally, when the air conditioner is in the wide-angle mode, the angle between each of the air guide vanes and the reference plane is in the range of 72° to 78°.

[0010] Optionally, the air conditioner has a zero-wind mode, and when the air conditioner is in the zero-wind mode, in each of the air guiding structures, the air guide plate is opened, and the rear end of the air guide plate is adjacent to the side wall of the air duct on the same side, and the zero-wind plate blocks the air outlet located in the air outlet area between the air guide plate and the diverting cone; or, the rear end of the air guide plate is adjacent to the cone side wall of the diverting cone, and the zero-wind plate blocks the air outlet located in the air outlet area between the air guide plate and the side wall of the air duct.

[0011] Optionally, when the air conditioner is in the zero-wind mode, the front end of each of the air guide plates extends outward from the air outlet;

[0012] And / or, when the air conditioner is in the zero-wind mode, the outer wall of the zero-wind plate is smoothly connected to the outer wall of the housing.

[0013] Optionally, the air conditioner has a conventional air outlet mode. When the air conditioner is in the conventional air outlet mode, in each of the air guiding structures, the air guide plate and the zero air plate are both open, and a second direct blowing channel for airflow is formed between the air guide plate and the zero air plate.

[0014] Optionally, when the air conditioner is in the normal air outlet mode, in each of the air guide structures, the zero air plate is located between the air guide plate and the diversion cone, and the rear end of the air guide plate is adjacent to the side wall of the air duct on the same side, and the front end of the air guide plate extends outward from the air outlet.

[0015] The rear end of the zero-air plate is adjacent to the conical sidewall of the diversion cone, or a third direct-blowing channel is formed between the zero-air plate and the conical sidewall of the diversion cone.

[0016] Optionally, the mid-plane of the region between the two air guiding structures is used as a reference plane. When the air conditioner is in the normal air outlet mode, the angle between the air guide plate and the zero air plate and the reference plane in each air guiding structure is in the range of 5° to 20°.

[0017] Optionally, the air conditioner has a closed mode, and when the air conditioner is in the closed mode, in each of the air guiding structures, the air guide plate closes the air outlet, and the zero air plate is located in the air duct. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0031] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of this utility model and are not intended to limit it.

[0032] This embodiment provides an air conditioner, such as... Figures 1-6As shown, the device includes a housing 100 and two sets of air guiding structures 20A. The front panel 110 of the housing 100 has two air outlets 120 arranged at intervals in the left-right direction. The housing 100 has an air duct 130 connecting the two air outlets 120. The air duct 130 has a diversion cone 140 for diverting airflow to the two air outlets 120. The two sets of air guiding structures 20A correspond to one of the air outlets 120 respectively. The air guiding structure 20A includes a first drive assembly 200 and a second drive assembly 300 disposed on the housing 100. The first drive assembly 200 is driven to a guide plate 400 and is configured to drive the guide plate 400 to rotate around a first vertical axis 410 to open or close the corresponding air outlet 120. The second drive assembly 300 is driven to a zero-wind plate 500 with a diffuser structure 520 and is configured to drive the zero-wind plate 500 to rotate around a second vertical axis 510 to open or block at least a partial area of ​​the corresponding air outlet 120.

[0033] In the air conditioner provided in this embodiment, the housing 100 serves as the mounting base and forms an air duct 130 for airflow. The diverter cone 140 is located in the front end region of the air duct 130 and in the middle of the air duct 130 along the left and right direction. The two air outlets 120 on the front panel 110 are located on the left and right sides of the diverter cone 140, respectively. In the air guiding structure 20A, a diffuser structure 520 is provided on the zero-air plate 500. When the airflow flows through the surface of the zero-air plate 500, the surface of the zero-air plate 500 can play a guiding role. When the airflow flows through the diffuser structure 520, the diffuser structure 520 can disperse the airflow to form a zero wind with a relatively gentle wind speed and better noise effect. The first drive assembly 200 and the second drive assembly 300 are both installed on the housing 100. The air guiding plate 400 and the zero-air plate 500 rotate relatively independently under the drive of the first drive assembly 200 and the second drive assembly 300, so that the air guiding plate 400 can guide the airflow through the air outlet 120 in different directions or close the air outlet 120, and the zero-air plate 500 can guide the airflow through the air outlet 120 or disperse it to form a zero wind.

[0034] In practical use, when the air conditioner is in the off or standby state, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in each air guiding structure 20A, the first driving component 200 can drive the air guide plate 400 to rotate around the first vertical axis 410 to the position of closing the air outlet 120, and the second driving component 300 drives the zero-wind plate 500 to rotate around the second vertical axis 510 to the position of avoiding the air guide plate 400, thereby closing the air outlet of the air duct 130 to reduce the occurrence of dust, impurities, etc. entering the housing 100 through the air outlet 120, causing pollution or even damage to the internal components.

[0035] When the air conditioner is in operation, the rotation angle of the air guide plate 400 and the zero-air plate 500 can be flexibly adjusted by the first drive component 200 and the second drive component 300 of each air guide structure 20A according to the user's needs. This allows the air guide plate 400 and the zero-air plate 500 to cooperate with each other to adjust the airflow pattern of direct airflow or zero-airflow, or to cooperate with each other to adjust the airflow direction, thereby improving the flexibility and diversity of the air outlet pattern and direction adjustment of the air conditioner.

[0036] For example, such as Figures 5-10 As shown, when a user needs the air conditioner to quickly adjust the temperature, the first drive assembly 200 of each air guide structure 20A drives the air guide plate 400 to rotate to open the air outlet 120 and extend forward along a first preset angle. Simultaneously, the second drive assembly 300 drives the zero-air plate 500 to rotate, opening the air outlet 120 and extending forward along a second preset angle. With the air outlet 120 open, the airflow in the duct 130 can be guided by the air guide plate 400 and the zero-air plate 500 to blow directly outward along the target direction, thus achieving rapid temperature adjustment of the target area. When the user needs gentle, quiet temperature adjustment, such as... Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the zero-wind plate 500 can be rotated by the second drive component 300 to completely block the air outlet 120, and the air guide plate 400 can be rotated by the first drive component 200 to open the air outlet 120 and avoid the zero-wind plate 500; or the zero-wind plate 500 can be rotated by the second drive component 300 to block a part of the air outlet 120, and the air guide plate 400 can be rotated by the first drive component 200 to close the rest of the air outlet 120. This allows the airflow in the duct 130 to pass through the air diffuser structure 520 of the zero-wind plate 500 before it can be blown out. After the airflow is dispersed by the air diffuser structure 520, a zero-wind area with a gentle wind speed and good noise reduction is formed in front of the air conditioner. This improves the gentleness and quietness of temperature regulation while ensuring the air conditioner's effect on regulating the indoor temperature.

[0037] In the air conditioner provided in this embodiment, the air guide plate 400 and the zero-air plate 500 can rotate relatively independently under the drive of the first drive assembly 200 and the second drive assembly 300, respectively. The rotation angle of the air guide plate 400 and the zero-air plate 500 can be flexibly adjusted by the first drive assembly 200 and the second drive assembly 300 according to the user's needs. This allows the air guide plate 400 and the zero-air plate 500 to cooperate in adjusting the airflow pattern (direct airflow or zero-airflow), or to cooperate in adjusting the airflow direction. This improves the flexibility and versatility of adjusting the air outlet pattern and direction of the air conditioner. In addition, when the air conditioner is in the off or standby state, the first drive assembly 200 can drive the air guide plate 400 to rotate around the first vertical axis 410 to the position of closing the air outlet 120, and the second drive assembly 300 can drive the zero air plate 500 to rotate around the second vertical axis 510 to the position of avoiding the air guide plate 400, thereby closing the air outlet of the air duct 130 to reduce the occurrence of dust, impurities, etc. entering the housing 100 through the air outlet 120, causing pollution or even damage to the internal components.

[0038] In this embodiment, depending on the rotation angle of the air guide plate 400 and the zero-wind plate 500 and the different forms of their mutual cooperation, the air conditioner can have a closed mode, a direct air blowing mode and a zero-wind mode. Among them, depending on the different cooperation between the air outlet angle, the air guide plate 400 and the zero-wind plate 500 and the air duct sidewall 131 of the air duct 130 and the cone sidewall 141 of the diversion cone 140, the direct air blowing mode can be further divided into a wide-angle mode and a regular air outlet mode.

[0039] Among them, when the air conditioner is in the off or standby state, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, when the air conditioner enters the closed mode, the first drive assembly 200 drives the air guide plate 400 to rotate around the first vertical axis 410 to the position of closing the air outlet 120, and the second drive assembly 300 drives the zero air plate 500 to rotate around the second vertical axis 510 to the position of avoiding the air guide plate 400, thereby closing the air outlet of the air duct 130 to reduce the occurrence of dust, impurities, etc. entering the housing 100 through the air outlet 120, causing pollution or even damage to the internal components.

[0040] Specifically, when the air conditioner is in closed mode, in each air guiding structure 20A, the air guide plate 400 closes the air outlet 120, and the zero-air plate 500 is located within the air duct 130. When the air conditioner is in off or standby mode, the air guide plate 400 closes the air outlet 120, and the zero-air plate 500 rotates into the air duct 130. The air guide plate 400 also acts as a barrier to protect the zero-air plate 500, reducing the accumulation of dust and other contaminants in the air dispersion structure 520 of the zero-air plate 500. This reduces the risk of blockage or weakening of the air dispersion structure 520, or even causing it to lose its air dispersion effect. It also reduces the risk of the airflow from the air conditioner blowing the dust accumulated in the air dispersion structure 520 into the indoor environment, thus preventing secondary pollution. This ensures the air dispersion effect of the zero-air plate 500 and improves the user experience of the air conditioner.

[0041] When the air conditioner is in closed mode, the outer wall of the air guide plate 400 is smoothly connected to the outer wall of the casing 100 to improve the overall flatness and integrity of the air conditioner when it is off or in standby mode.

[0042] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 As shown, the diversion cone 140 is located at the front end of the duct section of the duct 130 and at the middle position of the duct section in the left-right direction, thereby dividing the duct section into two branch ducts 150 located on the left and right respectively. Specifically, the branch duct 150 located on the left is defined by the duct sidewall 131 on the left side of the duct 130 and the cone sidewall 141 on the left side of the diversion cone 140, and the branch duct 150 located on the right is defined by the duct sidewall 131 on the right side of the duct 130 and the cone sidewall 141 on the right side of the diversion cone 140. The two air outlets 120 are respectively connected to the front end of the branch duct 150 located on the same side, and the two sets of air guiding structures 20A correspond one-to-one with the two branch ducts 150.

[0043] When users require gentle, quiet temperature control, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, when the air conditioner enters the zero-wind mode, in each air guiding structure 20A, the air guide plate 400 extends from back to front and opens, and the rear end of the air guide plate 400 is adjacent to the air duct 130 on the same side of the air duct sidewall 131. The zero-wind plate 500 blocks the air outlet 120 located in the air outlet area between the air guide plate 400 and the diversion cone 140. In each air guiding structure 20A, the width of the air guide plate 400 is greater than the width of the zero-wind plate 500, and the air guide plate 400 is located on the side of the zero-wind plate 500 away from the diversion cone 140. In zero-wind mode, the rear end of the air guide plate 400 adjacent to the same-side duct sidewall 131 means that the rear end of the air guide plate 400 abuts against the same-side duct sidewall 131, or there is a small gap of 0.1mm to 5mm between the rear end of the air guide plate 400 and the same-side duct sidewall 131. The zero-wind plate 500 is sandwiched between the air guide plate 400 and the diversion cone 140. The airflow in the air duct 130 is split by the diversion cone 140 and enters two branch air ducts 150. Then, under the obstruction and guidance of the air guide plate 400, it flows to the zero-wind plate 500. After being dispersed by the air diffusion structure 520, it is blown forward. In front of the zero-wind plate 500, that is, in the middle area in the left and right directions in front of the air conditioner, a zero-wind zone with a gentle wind speed and better noise effect is formed. Thus, while ensuring the temperature regulation effect of the air conditioner on the indoor environment, especially the area in front of the air conditioner, the temperature regulation effect is improved, and the temperature regulation effect is gentle and quiet.

[0044] In the zero-wind mode, such as Figure 4 As shown, the front end of each air guide plate 400 extends outward to the air outlet 120. The zero-air plate 500 of the two air guide structures 20A is located between the two air guide plates 400. The plates of the two air guide plates 400 extend outward to the left and right sides to gather and guide the zero air blown out by the zero-air plate 500, so as to form a larger zero-air area in front of the air conditioner, thereby improving the temperature regulation effect of the air conditioner on the area in front.

[0045] In some other embodiments, in the air guiding structure 20A, the air guide plate 400 can also be located between the zero-wind plate 500 and the diversion cone 140. In the zero-wind mode, the rear end of the air guide plate 400 is adjacent to the cone side wall 141 of the diversion cone 140. The zero-wind plate 500 blocks the air outlet 120 located in the air outlet area between the air guide plate 400 and the air duct side wall 131 on the same side. This creates a zero-wind area with a gentle wind speed and better noise reduction in the area in front of the air conditioner near the left and right sides. This improves the gentle and quiet temperature regulation effect while ensuring the temperature regulation effect of the air conditioner on the indoor environment, especially in the area in front of the air conditioner near the left and right sides.

[0046] Specifically, when the air conditioner is in zero-wind mode, the outer wall of the zero-wind plate 500 is smoothly connected to the outer wall of the casing 100 to improve the neatness of the outer wall of the air conditioner in zero-wind mode.

[0047] When users require the air conditioner to quickly adjust the temperature over a wide range, such as Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, when the air conditioner enters the wide-angle mode of the direct air blowing mode, and the air conditioner is in the wide-angle mode, the mid-plane of the area between the two air guiding structures 20A is used as the reference plane 60E. One of the vertical planes perpendicular to the left and right direction and located between the two air guiding plates 400 is used as the reference plane 60E. In each air guiding structure 20A, the air guiding plate 400 is opened and forms an angle with the reference plane 60E with the opening facing forward and the angle range is 60° to 80°. The two air guiding plates 400 extend from back to front in a widening shape, and each air guiding plate 400 and the air duct 130 are located on the same side of the air duct sidewall 131 to form a first direct blowing channel 60A for airflow to be blown out. The air guide plate 400 on the left extends from back to front and to the left, forming a first direct-blowing channel 60A extending from back to front and to the left between the air guide plate 400 on the left and the side wall 131 of the air duct 130 on the left. The air guide plate 400 on the right extends from back to front and to the right, forming a first direct-blowing channel 60A extending from back to front and to the right between the air guide plate 400 on the right and the side wall 131 of the air duct 130 on the right. The two first direct-blowing channels 60A are located in the leftmost and rightmost areas of the air duct 130, respectively, and extend from back to front in a wide-opening shape. During operation, the airflow of the air duct 130 blows straight out to the left and right front through the two first direct-blowing channels 60A, thereby forming a direct-blowing area with a wide angle range in the left and right direction in front of the air conditioner, thereby achieving rapid temperature regulation of the indoor environment and a large temperature regulation range.

[0048] In this embodiment, as Figure 10As shown, when the user is located in the area directly in front of the air conditioner and does not want to be blown directly, and the air conditioner is in wide-angle mode, in each air guiding structure 20A, the rear end of the air guide plate 400 is adjacent to the cone side wall 141 of the diverting cone 140, and the front end of the air guide plate 400 extends outward to the air outlet 120; the air guide plate 400 and the diverting cone 140 form an accommodating space 60B located in front of the air guide plate 400, and the zero-wind plate 500 is located in front of the air guide plate 400 and is accommodated in the accommodating space 60B. On the one hand, if the rear end of the air guide plate 400 abuts against the cone sidewall 141 on the corresponding side of the diversion cone 140, or if there is a small gap of 0.1mm to 5mm between the rear end of the air guide plate 400 and the cone sidewall 141 on the corresponding side of the diversion cone 140, then the airflow flowing into the branch duct 150 can only be blown outward through the first direct blowing channel 60A defined between the air guide plate 400 and the duct sidewall 131, thereby increasing the direct blowing air volume of the first direct blowing channel 60A, and correspondingly increasing the direct blowing air volume of the air conditioner to the left and right wide-angle areas in wide-angle mode, thus improving the wide-angle temperature regulation effect; at the same time, the central area of ​​the air conditioner between the two air guide plates 400 is a windless area, and this area does not blow directly on the user, ensuring the user's experience; on the other hand, the wide-angle mode In this mode, the front end of the air guide plate 400 extends outward to the air outlet 120. The airflow blown out through the air outlet 120 can continue to flow forward under the guidance of the air guide plate 400, thereby increasing the air delivery distance of the air guide plate 400 and correspondingly increasing the air delivery range and temperature regulation effect of the air conditioner to the wide-angle areas on both sides. On the other hand, in the wide-angle mode, the zero-air plate 500 is housed in the accommodating space 60B formed by the air guide plate 400 and the diverting cone 140 on the front side of the air guide plate 400. The zero-air plate 500 will not interfere with or block the first direct blowing channel 60A, thereby ensuring the smooth flow of air through the first direct blowing channel 60A with minimal impact on the appearance of the air conditioner, and correspondingly ensuring the wide-angle air delivery volume and wide-angle temperature regulation effect of the air conditioner.

[0049] In this embodiment, as Figure 10 As shown, when the air conditioner is in wide-angle mode, the angle α between each air guide plate 400 and the reference plane 60E ranges from 72° to 78°. The reference plane 60E is a vertical plane extending in the front-to-back direction and located between the two air guide structures 20A. In wide-angle mode, the left air guide plate 400 deflects to the left relative to the reference plane 60E at an angle α ranging from 72° to 78°, and the right air guide plate 400 deflects to the right relative to the reference plane 60E at an angle α ranging from 72° to 78°. Therefore, the angle between the two air guide plates 400 ranges from 114° to 156°. Correspondingly, the wide-angle angle of the airflow blown out through the two first straight-blowing channels 60A ranges from 114° to 156°. The wide angle range results in a better temperature adjustment range and temperature adjustment effect.

[0050] Specifically, the angle α between each air guide plate 400 and the reference plane 60E can be 75°. In wide-angle mode, the angle between the two air guide plates 400 is 150°. Correspondingly, the wide-angle angle of the airflow blown out through the two first straight blowing channels 60A is 150°.

[0051] In this embodiment, when the user needs the air conditioner to quickly adjust the temperature of the area directly in front of them, the air conditioner enters the normal airflow mode within the direct airflow mode, such as... Figures 5-8 As shown, when the air conditioner is in the normal air outlet mode, in each air guide structure 20A, the air guide plate 400 and the zero air plate 500 extend and open from back to front, and a second direct blowing channel 60C for airflow is formed between the air guide plate 400 and the zero air plate 500. The air guide plate 400 and the zero-air plate 500 on the left side are closer to the center of the air conditioner than the side wall 131 of the air duct 130 on the left side. Correspondingly, the second direct-blowing channel 60C formed between the air guide plate 400 and the zero-air plate 500 on the left side is closer to the center of the air conditioner than the first direct-blowing channel 60A on the left side. Similarly, the second direct-blowing channel 60C formed between the air guide plate 400 and the zero-air plate 500 on the right side is closer to the center of the air conditioner than the first direct-blowing channel 60A on the right side. During operation, the airflow of the air duct 130 blows directly forward of the central area of ​​the air conditioner through the two second direct-blowing channels 60C, thereby forming a direct-blowing area in front of the central area of ​​the air conditioner, thus achieving rapid temperature regulation of the area directly in front of the air conditioner.

[0052] In this embodiment, when the air conditioner is in normal air outlet mode, in each air guide structure 20A, such as Figure 8As shown, the zero-air plate 500 is located between the air guide plate 400 and the diversion cone 140, and the rear end of the air guide plate 400 is adjacent to the air duct 130 on the same side of the air duct sidewall 131. The front end of the air guide plate 400 extends outward to the air outlet 120; the rear end of the zero-air plate 500 is adjacent to the cone sidewall 141 of the diversion cone 140. On one hand, two zero-air vanes 500 are located between two guide vanes 400. The rear end of the guide vane 400 abuts against the sidewall 131 of the duct on the same side, or there is a small gap of 0.1mm to 5mm between the rear end of the guide vane 400 and the sidewall 131 of the duct on the same side. The rear end of the zero-air vane 500 abuts against the cone sidewall 141 of the split cone 140 on the same side, or there is a small gap of 0.1mm to 5mm between the rear end of the zero-air vane 500 and the cone sidewall 141 of the split cone 140 on the same side. Therefore, the airflow flowing into the branch duct 150 can only be blown outward through the second direct blowing channel 60C between the guide vane 400 and the zero-air vane 500, thereby improving the second direct blowing channel. The 60C direct airflow increases the direct airflow in the front area of ​​the air conditioner near the center, thereby improving the temperature regulation effect in the area directly in front of the air conditioner. On the other hand, in the normal air outlet mode, the front end of the air guide plate 400 extends outward to the air outlet 120. The air guide plates 400 on both sides can gather and guide the airflow blown outward from the second direct airflow channel 60C. At the same time, the plate of the air guide plate 400 extending out of the air outlet 120 can also extend its air delivery distance, thereby further increasing the direct airflow in the front area of ​​the air conditioner near the center, and improving the air delivery distance and temperature regulation effect of the direct airflow area.

[0053] In normal air outlet mode, the rear end of the zero-air vane 500, except for the cone sidewall 141 adjacent to the diversion cone 140, is as follows: Figures 5-7 As shown, a third direct-blowing channel 60D can also be formed between the zero-air vane 500 and the cone sidewall 141 of the splitter cone 140. The third direct-blowing channel 60D is closer to the middle position of the air conditioner in the left-right direction than the second direct-blowing channel 60C on the same side. The airflow flowing into the branch duct 150 can be blown forward directly through the second direct-blowing channel 60C and the third direct-blowing channel 60D, thereby increasing the direct-blowing air volume in the middle position of the air conditioner in the left-right direction, that is, in front of the splitter cone 140. This correspondingly improves the air volume uniformity of the direct-blowing area in front of the air conditioner, and further improves the temperature regulation effect in the area in front of the air conditioner.

[0054] In this embodiment, as Figure 7As shown, the midpoint of the area between the two air guide structures 20A is used as the reference plane 60E. That is, one of the vertical planes perpendicular to the left and right direction and located between the two air guide structures 20A is used as the reference plane 60E. When the air conditioner is in the normal air outlet mode, the angle β between the air guide plate 400 and the zero air plate 500 and the reference plane 60E in each air guide structure 20A is in the range of 5° to 20°. The reference plane 60E is a vertical plane extending in the front-to-back direction and located between the two air guiding structures 20A. In the normal air outlet mode, the deflection angle β of the left air guide plate 400 and the zero air plate 500 relative to the reference plane 60E is in the range of 5° to 20°. The deflection angle β of the right air guide plate 400 and the zero air plate 500 relative to the reference plane 60E is also in the range of 5° to 20°. Therefore, the airflow blown out through the two second direct blowing channels 60C and the third direct blowing channel 60D can form a narrowing or widening direct blowing area with an approximate angle of 10° to 40° in front of the central area of ​​the air conditioner. The expansion of the direct blowing area to the left and right is small, which can ensure the temperature regulation effect in front of the air conditioner.

[0055] Specifically, in the normal air outlet mode, the air guide plate 400 and the zero-wind plate 500 extend in approximately parallel directions from back to front.

[0056] In this embodiment, under normal air outlet mode, the zero-air vane 500 can also tilt towards the diversion cone 140 from back to front. That is, the zero-air vane 500 forms an angle with the reference plane 60E with the opening facing backward, and the angle range is preferably 1° to 5°; the two zero-air vanes 500 extend from back to front in a constricted shape. During operation, the airflow entering the third direct-blowing channel 60D can flow towards the middle position of the vertical air conditioner in the left-right direction under the guiding effect of the zero-air vane 500, so that the area between the two air outlets 120 is covered by the airflow blown out by the third direct-blowing channel 60D. Correspondingly, the area of ​​the vertical air conditioner between the two air guide vanes 400 is a direct airflow area, thereby improving the air outlet uniformity in the middle area in front of the vertical air conditioner and further ensuring the temperature regulation effect in this area.

[0057] Specifically, the air conditioner is a vertical air conditioner, with two air outlets 120 and two air guide structures 20A symmetrically arranged in the left and right directions about a symmetrical plane, and the aforementioned symmetrical plane can be selected as the reference plane 60E.

[0058] The air dispersion structure 520 may include a plurality of dispersed air dispersion holes disposed on the zero air plate 500, or mounting holes provided on the plate body of the zero air plate 500, with an impeller rotatably connected in the mounting holes, or other structures that can ventilate and disperse airflow; wherein, the shape, number and position of the air dispersion holes in the attached drawings are shown as examples and are not intended to be actual limitations.

[0059] Specifically, both the first drive assembly 200 and the second drive assembly 300 can be motors. The first drive assembly 200 is located at the top or bottom of the air guide plate 400. The end of the air guide plate 400 facing away from the first drive assembly 200 can be rotatably connected to the housing 100 to improve the stability of the air guide plate 400 rotating around the first vertical axis. Similarly, the second drive assembly 300 is located at the top or bottom of the zero-wind plate 500. The end of the zero-wind plate 500 facing away from the second drive assembly 300 can be rotatably connected to the housing 100 to improve the stability of the zero-wind plate rotating around the second vertical axis.
