DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0092] 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.

[0093] 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-to-back, up-to-down, left-to-right of the air outlet device or the indoor unit. Figures 5 to 21 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-to-back, up-to-down, left-to-right of the air outlet device or the indoor unit. Figures 12 to 16 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-to-back, up-to-down, left-to-right of the air outlet device or the indoor unit. Figures 17 to 21 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-to-back, up-to-down, left-to-right of the air outlet device or the indoor unit. Figure 2 Figures 4 to 8 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-to-back, up-to-down, left-to-right of the air outlet device or the indoor unit.

[0094] According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, an air outlet device is provided, referring to Figures 1 to 7 ​As shown in the figure, the air outlet device comprises a shell 1, an air outlet member 2 movably arranged in the shell 1 and comprising a front plate 21 provided with a front air outlet 211 extending along the thickness direction of the front plate 21, a display module 4 arranged at one side of the front plate 21 in the length direction, and a sweeping mechanism 5 located at the rear side of the front plate 21, the sweeping mechanism 5 being mounted on the air outlet member 2 and moving with the air outlet member 2.

[0095] According to 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 to realize the front air outlet of the air outlet device. By mounting the sweeping mechanism 5 on the air outlet member 2, the sweeping mechanism 5 can be integrated on the air outlet member 2, thereby on the one hand, the compact design of the air outlet device can be realized, so as to fully utilize the arrangement space of the shell 1. On the other hand, the sweeping mechanism 5 is relatively stationary with the air outlet member 2, that is, moves synchronously, which can avoid the interference between the air outlet member 2 and the sweeping mechanism 5 when the air outlet member 2 moves relative to the sweeping mechanism 5, thereby ensuring the normal movement of the air outlet member 2. In addition, since the air outlet member 2 is movably arranged in the shell 1, when the air outlet member 2 moves, the orientation or position of the front air outlet 211 can be changed, thereby facilitating the adjustment of the air outlet direction of the front air outlet 211 to improve the flexibility of air outlet.

[0096] It should be noted that the display module 4 can be used to display parameters of the air outlet device, such as temperature, air outlet mode, etc. In addition, the sweeping mechanism 5 of the present disclosure can realize up-down sweeping, and / or the sweeping mechanism 5 can also realize left-right sweeping, which is not limited in the present disclosure. In addition, the sweeping mechanism 5 can comprise a motor 51 and a sweeping plate 52, the motor 51 being used to drive the sweeping plate 52 to rotate, thereby realizing sweeping.

[0097] It should be further noted that the synchronous movement of the sweeping mechanism 5 with the air outlet member 2 means that when the air outlet member 2 moves, the sweeping mechanism 5 moves with the air outlet member 2 due to the mounting of the sweeping mechanism 5 on the air outlet member 2. When the air outlet member 2 moves, the sweeping mechanism 5 can also sweep at the same time, which is not limited in the present disclosure.

[0098] In the present disclosure, the display module 4 can comprise a display control panel, a sensor, a wire harness, etc., which is not limited in the present disclosure. In addition, the display module 4 is arranged at one side of the air outlet member 2 in the length direction, which can avoid the display module 4 occupying the arrangement space in the width direction of the air outlet member 2, which is beneficial to avoid the following side plate 22 and the side air outlet 221 arranged at the side of the air outlet member 2 in the width direction.

[0099] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, referring to Figures 2 to 6As shown in FIG. 1, the air outlet member 2 can include a side plate 22 arranged at the side of the front plate 21, and the side plate 22 and the front plate 21 can form a receiving cavity 30, and at least part of the air sweeping mechanism 5 can be arranged in the receiving cavity 30. In this way, the air sweeping mechanism 5 can be arranged by using the receiving cavity 30, so as to reduce or even avoid the occupation of the air sweeping mechanism 5 to other arrangement spaces, thereby the compact design of the air outlet device can be further realized.

[0100] In some embodiments, all of the air sweeping mechanism 5 can be arranged in the above-mentioned receiving cavity 30, and the present disclosure is not limited thereto.

[0101] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 6 As shown in FIG. 1, the air outlet member 2 has a cross section in a direction parallel to the front-rear direction, and the cross section can be configured as a U-shaped cross section, that is, the above-mentioned receiving cavity 30 can be configured as a U-shaped receiving cavity, so as to better accommodate the air sweeping mechanism 5, and the present disclosure is not limited thereto.

[0102] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, referring to Figures 1 to 5 As shown in FIG. 1, the display module 4 can be mounted on the front plate 21 and synchronously move with the air outlet member 2. In this way, when the display module 4 and the air outlet member 2 move alternatively, that is, relatively move, the two need to be arranged at intervals to reserve a movement gap therebetween to avoid interference between the two, and the movement gap will cause the existence of a "black gap" between the display module 4 and the air outlet member 2, thereby causing the poor consistency of the appearance of the air outlet device. The present disclosure arranges the display module 4 on the front plate 21, so that the display module 4 and the air outlet member 2 are adapted to synchronously move, thereby the step of arranging a movement gap between the display module 4 and the air outlet member 2 is omitted, and the "black gap" between the display module 4 and the air outlet member 2 is eliminated, so as to improve the integrity of the display module 4 and the air outlet member 2, thereby the consistency of the appearance of the air outlet device is good.

[0103] In addition, the display module 4 synchronously moves with the air outlet member 2, that is, the display module 4 also synchronously moves with the air sweeping mechanism 5, thereby avoiding the interference between the air outlet member 2 and the air sweeping module and the display module 4.

[0104] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, referring to Figures 30 to 33 As shown in FIG. 1, the front plate 21 can be provided with a mounting member 215 for fixing the display module 4 on the front plate 21. In this way, the mounting member 215 can realize the fixed connection between the front plate 21 and the display module 4, thereby on the one hand, the synchronous movement of the two is facilitated, and on the other hand, the shaking of the display module 4 relative to the air outlet member 2 during the movement process can be avoided.

[0105] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, referring to Figure 32 and Figure 33As shown in FIG. 1, the mounting member 215 can be configured as a mounting plate, and the display module 4 can be connected to the rear side of the mounting plate. In this way, the display module 4 can be first mounted on the mounting plate, and then fixed to the front plate 21 by using the mounting plate, which eliminates the direct connection between the display module 4 and the front plate 21, and the form of the mounting plate facilitates the fixing of the display module 4 to the mounting plate.

[0106] In some embodiments, with reference to Figure 32 and Figure 33 As shown in FIG. 1, the front side of the mounting plate can be substantially flush with the front air outlet surface 214 of the front plate 21. In this way, the consistency of the appearance of the mounting plate and the front plate 21 can be improved, thereby improving the consistency of the appearance of the air outlet device. The mounting plate and the front plate 21 can both be configured as arc-shaped plates, and the present disclosure is not limited in this regard.

[0107] In some embodiments, with reference to Figure 32 and Figure 33 As shown in FIG. 1, the front plate 21 can have an end surface 216 at one end in the length direction, and the mounting plate can be fixed to the end surface 216. Here, the end surface 216 can facilitate the fixing of the display module 4 to one side of the front plate 21 in the length direction, and the fixing of the mounting plate to the end surface 216 can also avoid affecting the air outlet of the front air outlet 211.

[0108] In some embodiments, the mounting plate can be in abutment with the end surface 216, which can further reduce the gap between the display module 4 and the air outlet 2.

[0109] In some embodiments, the mounting plate can be fixed to the end surface 216 by at least one of clamping, fastening, bonding, and inserting. The present disclosure is not limited in this regard.

[0110] In some embodiments, the mounting plate can be fixed to the end surface 216 by inserting, wherein one of the mounting plate and the front plate 21 is provided with a slot, and the other is provided with an insertion block. In this way, the mounting plate and the front plate 21 can be quickly disassembled by inserting.

[0111] In other embodiments, the mounting plate and the front plate 21 can be integrally formed. In this way, the connection between the mounting plate and the front plate 21 is also eliminated, which can improve the assembly efficiency of the air outlet device on the one hand, and eliminate the gap between the mounting plate and the front plate 21 on the other hand.

[0112] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, with reference to Figure 30 and 31 As shown in FIG. 1, the display module 4 can include a front panel 41, and the mounting member 215 can connect the front panel 41 and the front plate 21. In this way, the mounting member 215 can achieve the connection between the front panel 41 and the front plate 21, and further achieve the fixing of the display module 4 to the front plate 21.

[0113] In some embodiments, the mounting member 215 is integrally formed with the front plate 21, wherein the mounting member 215 is configured as one of a buckle or a slot, the front plate 41 comprises the other of the buckle and the slot, and the buckle is engaged with the slot. In this way, the display module 4 can be engaged with the front plate 21 through the engagement of the mounting member 215 and the front plate 41.

[0114] In some other embodiments, the mounting member 215 is integrally formed with the front plate 21, wherein the mounting member 215 is configured as one of a plug or a socket, the front plate 41 comprises the other of the plug and the socket, and the plug is plugged into the socket. In this way, the display module 4 can be engaged with the front plate 21 through the engagement of the mounting member 215 and the front plate 41.

[0115] In some embodiments, the display module 4 can be integrally formed with the air outlet member 2, so that the connection between the two can be omitted, which is conducive to simplifying the assembly of the air outlet device. In this case, the display module 4 can form a display on the air outlet member by means of a film, which is not limited in the present disclosure.

[0116] In some other embodiments, the housing of the display module 4 can be integrally formed with the front plate 21, so that the connection between the display module 4 and the front plate 21 is omitted, and the "black gap" described above can also be eliminated.

[0117] Of course, in some embodiments of the present disclosure, the display module 4 can also be mounted to the housing 1, that is, the display module 4 and the air outlet member 2 move relative to each other, and the two can avoid interference through the avoidance structure, so that the complexity of the air outlet device can be reduced, thereby facilitating the assembly and maintenance of the air outlet device.

[0118] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, as shown in Figures 2 to 4 and Figure 6 The pivot axis of the air sweeping plate 52 can extend along the length direction of the front plate 21.

When the length direction of the front plate 21 is parallel to the left-right direction, the air sweeping plate 52 can sweep air up and down.

[0119] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 2 to 4 and Figure 6 A plurality of air outlet holes 521 can be provided on the air sweeping plate 52, and the air outlet holes 521 can extend through the air sweeping plate 52 along the thickness direction of the air sweeping plate 52. In this way, the air outlet holes 521 can disperse the airflow, thereby achieving a soft wind design.

[0120] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 2 to 4 and Figure 6As shown, the motor 51 includes a motor body 511 and a mounting base 512. The motor body 511 is mounted on the mounting base 512, and the mounting base 512 is connected to the air outlet component 2. In this way, the mounting base 512 can connect the motor body 511 to the air outlet component 2, ensuring the reliable fixation of the motor body 511.

[0121] In some embodiments of this disclosure, reference is made to Figures 2 to 4 as well as Figure 6 As shown, there are multiple air-sweeping plates 52, and at least one motor drives multiple air-sweeping plates 52 to rotate. In this way, the synchronous rotation of multiple air-sweeping plates 52 can be achieved.

[0122] In some implementations, reference Figures 2 to 4 as well as Figure 6 As shown, there are multiple sweeping plates 52, which rotate synchronously via connecting rods 53. A motor 51 is connected to one of the sweeping plates 52 and / or the connecting rod 53. In this way, the motor 51 can drive one of the sweeping plates 52 to rotate, which in turn drives the other sweeping plates 52 to rotate synchronously via the connecting rod 53. This achieves synchronous rotation of multiple sweeping plates 52, facilitating uniform air sweeping.

[0123] In other embodiments, there are multiple air-sweeping vanes 52, each equipped with a motor. In this way, each air-sweeping vane 52 can rotate independently, thereby increasing the diversity of airflow.

[0124] In some implementations, reference Figures 2 to 6 As shown, the side plate 22 may have a first plate 225 and / or a second plate 226 on both sides along its length. The second plate 226 may be positioned close to the display module 4, and a motor 51 may be mounted on the first plate 225 and / or the second plate 226. In this way, the first plate 225 and / or the second plate 226 can provide a mounting base for the motor 51, facilitating its installation on the air outlet 2 and driving the sweeping plate 52 to rotate around a rotation axis extending along its length. In other embodiments, the side plate 22 may have a first plate 225 and a second plate 226 on both sides along its length.

[0125] In some embodiments, the first plate 225 and / or the second plate 226 are provided with through holes for the output shaft of the motor 51 to pass through, so that the output shaft is driven to connect with the sweeping plate 52. In this way, the through holes facilitate the drive connection between the motor 51 and the sweeping plate 52, thereby driving the sweeping plate 52 to rotate.

[0126] In some embodiments, motors 51 can be provided on both the first plate 225 and the second plate 226, thereby enabling dual-motor drive of the sweeping plate 52 and increasing the rotation speed of the sweeping plate 52.

[0127] In some implementations, reference Figure 2 As shown, a motor 51 may be mounted on the first plate 225, wherein the motor 51 may have a thickness in the length direction, as shown in the figure. Figure 2 The dimension D in the figure, the distance between the display module 4 and the front panel 21 in the length direction, can be less than the thickness of the motor 51. This avoids the situation where the distance between the front panel 21 and the display module 4 is too large when the motor 51 is arranged between them, which would affect the uniformity of the appearance of the air outlet device. In other words, the above arrangement allows the display module 4 to be placed closer to the front panel 21, improving the uniformity of the appearance of the air outlet device. Furthermore, the above arrangement keeps the motor 51 relatively far away from the display module 4, thereby facilitating the installation of the motor 451 and preventing interference between the motor 51 and the display module 4.

[0128] In some embodiments, when a motor 51 is provided on the first plate 225, the display module 4 and the air outlet 2 can move synchronously, thereby achieving an almost zero gap between the display module 4 and the front plate 21.

[0129] In some embodiments, when a motor 51 is provided on the first plate 225, the display module 4 and the air outlet 2 can move relative to each other. At this time, there is a movement gap between the display module 4 and the front plate 21, which can be smaller than the size of the motor 51.

[0130] In other embodiments, reference is made to Figure 3 As shown, a motor 51 can be mounted on the second plate 226. Along its length, the motor 51 can be positioned between the second plate 226 and the display module 4. This allows the motor 51 to be arranged within the gap between the second plate 226 and the display module 4, thus preventing interference between the motor 51 and the display module 4 when they move relative to each other. Furthermore, the fact that the motor 51 and the display module 4 are positioned on the same side facilitates centralized installation when they move synchronously.

[0131] In some embodiments, reference Figure 3 As shown, the front plate 21 can extend the second plate 226 along its length. The portion of the front plate 21 extending beyond the second plate 226 can form a receiving groove 40 with the second plate 226, and the motor 51 can be disposed in the receiving groove 40. In this way, the receiving groove 40 can accommodate the motor 51, preventing the motor 51 from protruding from the front plate 21 and affecting the installation of the display module 4.

[0132] In some embodiments, the display module 4 and the motor 51 are spaced apart along their length, and the distance between them can be 8mm to 10mm, for example, 9mm. This spacing prevents vibrations from the motor 51 from being transmitted to the display module 4 when they come into contact, thus avoiding any impact on the display effect. Furthermore, it avoids the problem of an excessively large distance affecting the compact design, and also avoids the inconvenience of installing the motor 51 if the distance is too small.

[0133] In other embodiments, reference is made to Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in the embodiment where the display module 4 moves synchronously with the air outlet 2, a motor 51 can be provided on the second plate 226. The motor 51 is located behind the display module 4, and in the front-rear direction, the projection of the motor 51 at least partially overlaps with the projection of the display module 4. In this way, the space behind the display module 4 can be used to arrange the motor 51, which is beneficial for compact design. In addition, since the display module 4 and the air outlet 2 move synchronously, interference between the motor 51 and the display module 4 is avoided when the motor 51 is located behind the display module 4.

[0134] In some embodiments, reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the display module 4 and the motor 51 are spaced apart in the front-to-back direction, with a distance of 2mm to 4mm, for example, 3mm. This distance can be referenced. Figure 5 The dimension L is specified. This spacing between the display module 4 and the motor 51 prevents vibrations from the motor 51 from being transmitted to the display module 4 and affecting its display performance if they come into contact. Additionally, this spacing avoids both excessively large gaps that would compromise the compact design and excessively small gaps that would hinder the installation of the motor 51.

[0135] In some embodiments, the length direction of the front panel 21 may correspond to the vertical direction. In this case, the second plate 226 is located on the upper side of the air outlet 2, the first plate 225 may be located on the lower side of the air outlet 2, and the display module 4 may be arranged on the upper side of the front panel 21. This disclosure does not limit this.

[0136] In some implementations, reference Figures 1 to 21 As shown, the air outlet device includes a translation drive mechanism for driving the air outlet component 2 to move relative to the housing 1. Since the air outlet component 2 is movably mounted on the housing 1, when the air outlet component 2 moves relative to the housing 1, the position of the front panel 21 can be changed, thereby changing the position of the front air outlet 211 and / or the air outlet area of ​​the front air outlet 211. This increases the diversity of airflow from the air outlet component 2. Therefore, compared to the air outlet component 2 being fixed to the housing 1, the above arrangement improves the diversity of airflow from the air outlet device, thereby enhancing the air delivery effect of the air outlet device.

[0137] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 1, the air outlet device comprises a housing 1 and an air outlet element 2, the air outlet element 2 is movably arranged in the housing 1, and the air outlet element 2 comprises a front plate 21 and a front air outlet 211. Figures 9 to 11 As shown in FIG. 1, the housing 1 comprises a support structure 11 supporting a 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 the side plate 22 is in sliding connection with the support structure 11, on the one hand, the above-mentioned arrangement avoids affecting the movement of the air outlet element 2, on the other hand, the support structure 11 can support the side plate 22, and further support the air outlet element 2, thereby improving the reliability of the air outlet element 2, and further improving the reliability of the air outlet device.

[0138] 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, on the other hand, the side plate 22 is in sliding connection with the support structure 11, and the support structure 11 can be in sliding connection with the side plate 22 during the entire movement of the side plate 22. Of course, the support structure 11 can be disconnected from the side plate 22 before the side plate 22 reaches the limit position, and the present disclosure does not limit this.

[0139] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, referring to FIG. 1, 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 in sliding connection with the support groove 111. In this way, the support plate 222 can be supported in the support groove 111, and the support structure 11 supports the side plate 22. In addition, the sliding connection between the support plate 222 and the support groove 111 can ensure the movement of the air outlet element 2. Figures 9 to 11 In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 1, the side plate 22 can be provided with a support plate 222, and the support plate 222 and the support groove 111 have lengths 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.

[0140] Figure 4 In some embodiments of the present disclosure, referring to FIG. 1, the air outlet element 2 can be movably arranged in the housing 1 in the front-rear direction, so as to be pushed forward or retreated backward into the housing 1.

[0141] Through the above technical solution, in the air outlet device provided by the present disclosure, since the air outlet element 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 forward from the initial position, the distance of the forward movement of the front air outlet 211 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 to the front, thereby improving the air supply effect of the air outlet device. Figures 1 to 21

[0142]

[0143] ​​​In some embodiments of the present disclosure, referring to Figures 1 to 21 As shown in FIG. 12, the side plate 22 can be provided with at least one side air outlet 221, and the air outlet piece 2 has a retracted position and a first pushed-out position. In the retracted position, the shell 1 covers the side air outlet 221. In the first pushed-out position, the air outlet piece 2 is pushed out of the shell 1 and the side air outlet 221 is exposed. In this way, in the retracted position, the side air outlet 221 is limited to air outlet because the side air outlet 221 is covered by the shell 1, and at this time, the front air outlet 211 is used for air outlet. In the first pushed-out position, the side air outlet 221 is arranged away from the shell 1 because the air outlet piece 2 is pushed out of the shell 1, and the shell 1 is exposed, that is, the side air outlet 221 is opened in an exposed manner, so that the side air outlet 221 is in an exposed state, 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, thereby improving the user experience. Therefore, the user can arrange the air outlet piece 2 in the retracted position and the first pushed-out position according to the needs, and the above arrangement is beneficial to the diversity of the air outlet of the air outlet device.

[0144] 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 perpendicular to the front-rear direction. 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 according to the needs.

[0145] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 14 and Figure 19 As shown in FIG. 12, the air outlet piece 2 can also have a second pushed-out position located in front of the first pushed-out position. In the second pushed-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 pushed-out position, the edge of the side plate 22 is also arranged spaced apart from the shell 1, so that the first air outlet 10 can be formed in the spacing position between the two, and thus the first air outlet 10 can also be used for 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 pushed-out position, the air outlet distance, the air outlet amount and the air outlet range of the air outlet device can be improved through the common air outlet of the front air outlet 211, the side air outlet 221 and the first air outlet 10, thereby improving the air outlet effect of the air outlet device.

[0146] In some embodiments, in the retracted position, the front air outlet face 214 of the front plate can be substantially flush with the front surface of the housing. In this way, the consistency of the appearance of the air outlet device can be improved.

[0147] In some embodiments, in the retracted position, the front air outlet face 214 of the front plate can protrude from the front surface of the housing. In this way, the position of the front air outlet is more forward in the retracted position, which is conducive to increasing the maximum distance of the front air outlet to the front.

[0148] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, with reference to Figures 1 to 21 As shown in FIG. 22, at least part of the side plate 22 is located at the rear side of the front plate 21, and the part of the side plate 22 located at the rear side of the front plate 21 is provided with a side air outlet 221. In this way, on the one hand, the side air outlet 221 is arranged at the rear side of the front air outlet 211, which is conducive to the airflow flowing out from the side air outlet 221, and on the other hand, the above-mentioned arrangement makes the side air outlet 221 and the front air outlet 211 be arranged at an angle.

[0149] In some embodiments, with reference to Figures 1 to 21 As shown in FIG. 22, the part of the side plate 22 located at the rear side of the front plate 21 can extend inwardly from front to back, so that the side plate 22 and the front plate 21 can be arranged at an angle.

[0150] In some embodiments, with reference to Figures 1 to 21 As shown in FIG. 22, the front plate 21 has a thickness in the front-rear direction; and in the length direction of the front plate 21, the side plate 22 is provided with a side air outlet 221 on the side away from the display module 4, and / or in the width direction of the front plate 21, the side plate 22 is provided with a side air outlet 221 on at least one of the opposite sides. In this way, the above-mentioned arrangement can flexibly arrange the position and number of the side air outlets 221.

[0151] For example, in some embodiments, in the length direction of the front plate 21, the side plate 22 is provided with a side air outlet 221 on one of the opposite sides, and in the width direction of the front plate 21, the side plate 22 is provided with a side air outlet 221 on one of the opposite sides.

[0152] For example, in some embodiments, in the length direction of the front plate 21, the side plate 22 is provided with a side air outlet 221 on one of the opposite sides, and in the width direction of the front plate 21, the side plate 22 is provided with a side air outlet 221 on both of the opposite sides.

[0153] For example, in some embodiments, in the length direction of the front plate 21, the side plate 22 is provided with a side air outlet 221 on both of the opposite sides, and in the width direction of the front plate 21, the side plate 22 is provided with a side air outlet 221 on one of the opposite sides.

[0154] 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.

[0155] 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.

[0156] 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.

[0157] 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 8 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.

[0158] It should be noted that the width direction of the front plate 21 can be the left-right direction for the air outlet device corresponding to the standing indoor unit. The width direction of the front plate 21 can be the up-down direction for the air outlet device corresponding to the hanging indoor unit.

[0159] In some embodiments, the air outlet device corresponding to the standing indoor unit is taken as an example, and the first side 23 is taken as the left side and the second side 24 is taken as the right side, and it is shown in Figure 12 that when the air outlet piece 2 is in the retracted position, the left side air outlet 221 and the right side air outlet 221 are covered by the shell 1, at this time, the front air outlet 211 blows air forward, and the air outlet device is in the front air outlet mode. It is shown in Figure 13 that when the air outlet piece 2 is in the first pushed-out position, the left side air outlet 221 and the right side air outlet 221 are exposed, at this time, the front air outlet 211 blows air forward, the left side air outlet 221 blows air to the left front, and the right side air outlet 221 blows air to the right front, at this time, the air outlet device is in the first three-dimensional air outlet mode. It is shown in Figure 14As shown in FIG. 2, when the air outlet piece 2 is in the second pushed-out position, the left side air outlet 221 and the right side air outlet 221 are both exposed, and the edges of the side plate 22 are spaced apart from the shell 1 to form the first air outlet 10. At this time, the front air outlet 211 blows air forward, the left side air outlet 221 blows air left forward, the right side air outlet 221 blows air right forward, and the first air outlet 10 blows air circumferentially. At this time, the air outlet device is in the second three-dimensional air outlet mode.

[0160] In some embodiments, taking the air outlet device corresponding to the hanging indoor unit as an example, and taking the first side 23 as the upper side and the second side 24 as the lower side as an example, reference is made to Figure 17 As shown in FIG. 2, when the air outlet piece 2 is in the second pushed-out position, the left side air outlet 221 and the right side air outlet 221 are both exposed, and the edges of the side plate 22 are spaced apart from the shell 1 to form the first air outlet 10. At this time, the front air outlet 211 blows air forward, the left side air outlet 221 blows air left forward, the right side air outlet 221 blows air right forward, and the first air outlet 10 blows air circumferentially. At this time, the air outlet device is in the second three-dimensional air outlet mode. Figure 18 As shown in FIG. 2, when the air outlet piece 2 is in the second pushed-out position, the left side air outlet 221 and the right side air outlet 221 are both exposed, and the edges of the side plate 22 are spaced apart from the shell 1 to form the first air outlet 10. At this time, the front air outlet 211 blows air forward, the left side air outlet 221 blows air left forward, the right side air outlet 221 blows air right forward, and the first air outlet 10 blows air circumferentially. At this time, the air outlet device is in the second three-dimensional air outlet mode. Figure 19 As shown in FIG. 2, when the air outlet piece 2 is in the second pushed-out position, the left side air outlet 221 and the right side air outlet 221 are both exposed, and the edges of the side plate 22 are spaced apart from the shell 1 to form the first air outlet 10. At this time, the front air outlet 211 blows air forward, the left side air outlet 221 blows air left forward, the right side air outlet 221 blows air right forward, and the first air outlet 10 blows air circumferentially. At this time, the air outlet device is in the second three-dimensional air outlet mode.

[0161] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, reference is made to Figure 25 and Figure 26 As shown in FIG. 2, the side plate 22 is provided with a wind guide surface 223 at least at the rear side of the side air outlet 221. The wind guide surface 223 guides the air flow to flow to the side air outlet 221 and / or the front air outlet 211. In this way, the air flow can be guided by the wind guide surface 223 to flow from the rear to the front to the side air outlet 221 and / or 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.

[0162] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the wind guide surface 223 can be configured as an arc surface, a straight surface or a stepped surface. The present disclosure can be adaptively designed as needed.

[0163] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, reference is made to Figure 26As 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.

[0164] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, with reference to Figure 25 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.

[0165] 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.

[0166] 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.

[0167] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, with reference to Figures 22 to 26 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.

[0168] 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 as to ensure that the spaced part of the air guide plate 27 and the wall surface can blow air.

[0169] In some embodiments, for the air guide plate 27, with reference to Figure 24 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.

[0170] 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.

[0171] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 25 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.

[0172] 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.

[0173] 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.

[0174] In some embodiments, in the implementation where the air deflector 27 is fixed in the side air outlet 221, referring to Figure 27 As shown in , a connecting rib 224 can also be 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.

[0175] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 24 As shown in , the air deflector can extend along the length direction, and the connecting rib can extend along the front-rear direction.

[0176] In other embodiments, referring to Figure 22 and Figure 23 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 driving motor 29 for driving the air deflector 27 to rotate.

[0177] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 22 and Figure 23As 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 in 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 in 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.

[0178] In some embodiments, with reference to Figure 25 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.

[0179] 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.

[0180] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, with reference to Figure 27 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 a predetermined 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.

[0181] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, with reference to Figure 15 , Figure 16 , Figure 20 and Figure 21 As shown in FIG. 1, the air outlet member 2 can be rotatably arranged in the housing 1 about a rotation axis perpendicular to the front-rear direction. In this way, the orientation of the front air outlet 211 can be adjusted when the air outlet member 2 is rotated, thereby being suitable for adjusting the air outlet direction of the front plate 21 and improving the diversity of air outlet of the front plate 21.

[0182] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, with reference toFigure 15 、 Figure 16 、 Figure 20 and Figure 21 , as shown, when the air outlet 2 rotates, at least part of the air outlet 2 is adapted to be spaced from the shell 1 to form a second air outlet 20 with the shell 1. In this way, the second air outlet 20 can also blow air, thereby further improving the diversity of the air outlet device.

[0183] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 15 、 Figure 16 、 Figure 20 and Figure 21 , the rotation axis can extend along the length direction of the front plate 21, and the air outlet 2 can have 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 a second air outlet 20 with the shell 1 to blow air 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 blow air laterally.

[0184] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 15 、 Figure 16 、 Figure 20 and Figure 21 , the air outlet also has a second rotation position. In this way, in the second rotation position, the air outlet area of the second air outlet 20 is larger than that in the first rotation position, thereby improving the air volume.

[0185] 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 located on the first side 23 or the second side 24, and the second air outlet 20 can all blow air, and in the second rotation position, the side air outlet 221 located on the first side 23 and the second side 24, and the second air outlet 20 can all blow air.

[0186] In some embodiments, taking the air outlet device corresponding to a vertical 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, as shown in Figure 15 , when the air outlet 2 is in the first rotation position, the second air outlet 20 and the side air outlet 221 located on the left side or the right side can all blow air, at this time, the air outlet device is in a left front air mode or a right front air mode, as shown in Figure 16 , when the air outlet 2 is in the second rotation position, the side air outlet 221 and the second air outlet 20 located on the left side and the right side can all blow air, at this time, the air outlet device is in a left and right front air mode.

[0187] In some embodiments, taking the air outlet device corresponding to a hanging indoor unit as an example, and taking the first side 23 as the upper side and the second side 24 as the lower side as an example, as shown inFigure 20 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 21 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.

[0188] 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.

[0189] In some embodiments, the display module 4 includes a position detector for detecting the position of a target object. The display module 4 rotates either toward the target object detected by the position detector or toward a direction avoiding the target object. Thus, based on the position detector's detection, the display module 4 can rotate toward the target object so that the user can observe the display module. Alternatively, it can rotate toward a direction avoiding the target object to prevent light emitted by the display module 4 from affecting the user.

[0190] In some implementations, reference Figure 15 and Figure 16 As shown, the pivot axis of the air-sweeping mechanism 5 is parallel to the rotation axis, allowing the air-sweeping mechanism 5 and the display module 4 to rotate in the same direction. The air-sweeping mechanism 5 can rotate synchronously with the display module 4. Because the air-sweeping mechanism 5 rotates synchronously with the display module 4, when the air-sweeping mechanism 5 is sweeping towards the user (i.e., in a "sweeping with the user" mode), the display module 4 can simultaneously face the user, meaning the display also moves with the user. This effectively improves the clarity of the display displayed on the display module 4 for the user.

[0191] In some embodiments of this disclosure, reference is made to Figure 20 and Figure 21As shown in FIG. 1, the display module 4 comprises a sensor 42, which is configured to receive a control signal from an external controller or terminal, and / or, configured to send a control signal to an external controller or terminal. In this way, when the position and / or the inclination angle of the display module 4 is adjusted, the position and / or the inclination angle of the sensor 42 is also adjusted synchronously, so as to facilitate the user to control the display through the external controller or terminal, or to facilitate the sensor 42 to deliver the control signal to the external controller or terminal.

[0192] In some embodiments, the sensor 42 can comprise an infrared sensor, which is adapted to receive the control signal from the external controller or terminal. Of course, the sensor can also comprise other types of sensors 42, for example, the sensor 42 can comprise one or more of a radar sensor, a thermocouple sensor, a temperature and humidity sensor, or a wireless communication sensor, wherein the wireless communication sensor can be understood as WiFi, and the present disclosure does not limit this.

[0193] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, with reference to Figure 28 As shown in FIG. 1, the front plate 21 can comprise an air outlet grille 212, which can have a front air outlet 211. In this way, when the air outlet grille 212 is used for air outlet, the airflow can be dispersed, so that the airflow blown from the air outlet grille 212 is soft wind, thereby improving the user experience.

[0194] In some embodiments, the front plate 21 can comprise an air outlet panel with through holes. In this way, the holes on the air outlet panel can constitute the front air outlet 211 to blow air forward. Among them, a plurality of through holes can be arranged on the air outlet panel, so that the plurality of through holes can also disperse the airflow to achieve soft wind.

[0195] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, with reference to Figure 29 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 the area of the rear air outlet surface 213. In this way, the airflow is adapted to be diffused at the front air outlet surface 214.

[0196] 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 the area of the rear air outlet surface 213, and on the other hand, the diffusion of the airflow is further facilitated.

[0197] In some embodiments, with reference to Figure 28 As shown in FIG. 1, the front plate 21 can be configured as an arc-shaped plate or a planar plate. In this way, the design of the front plate being wide in front and narrow in back is facilitated, and the area of the front air outlet surface 214 being greater than the area of the rear air outlet surface 213 is facilitated.

[0198] In some embodiments, with reference to Figure 29As 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 thereto.

[0199] In some embodiments, with reference to Figures 1 to 21 As shown in FIG. 1, the side plate 22 can be inclined, i.e., the cross section of the side plate 22 is inclined along the front-rear direction, and the housing 1 is provided with a slope surface matching the shape of the side plate 22. Here, the side plate 22 can be inclined inwardly 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, and the air outlet 2 is arranged at the flared portion, and the surface of the housing surrounding the flared portion includes the slope surface.

[0200] In some embodiments, the front plate 21 includes an air outlet grille 212, and the air outlet grille 212 includes a plurality of air outlet strips 2121. The air outlet strips 2121 can be configured as straight strips, inclined strips or grid-shaped strips. In this way, the air outlet strips 2121 can be configured in various shapes to meet different air outlet requirements. In some embodiments, with reference to Figure 9 and Figure 9 As shown in FIG. 1, the air outlet strips can be inclined strips, i.e., the air outlet strips are inclined to the front-rear direction at an acute angle. It can also be understood that the inclined strips extend along the length direction and are inclined to the width direction at an acute angle. With reference to Figure 9 As shown in FIG. 1, the air outlet strips can also be straight strips, i.e., the air outlet strips are perpendicular to the front-rear direction. It can also be understood that the straight strips extend along the length direction and are perpendicular to the width direction.

[0201] In some embodiments, the front air outlet 211 is used for air outlet in the retracted position, the first pushed-out position, the second pushed-out position, the first rotated position and the second rotated position.

[0202] According to a second aspect of the present disclosure, an indoor unit is provided, which includes the air outlet device as described above. The indoor unit has all the beneficial effects of the air outlet device described above, and the present disclosure does not repeat the description here.

[0203] In some embodiments, the indoor unit can be configured as a vertical indoor unit. At this time, the length direction of the front plate 21 corresponds to the up-down direction of the indoor unit, and the width direction of the front plate 21 corresponds to the left-right direction of the indoor unit.

[0204] In some embodiments, the indoor unit can be configured as a vertical indoor unit. With reference to Figure 9 In the first pushed-out position, the side air outlets on both sides of the width direction of the front plate are used for air outlet to the left and right; or in the second pushed-out position, the first air outlet is used for air outlet upward, downward, leftward and rightward; or in the first rotated position, the second air outlet is used for air outlet leftward or rightward; or in the second rotated position, the second air outlet is used for air outlet leftward and rightward.

[0205] 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.

[0206] 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.

[0207] 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.

[0208] 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.

[0209] In some embodiments, the indoor unit 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.

[0210] In some embodiments, the above-mentioned indoor unit can be configured as a wall-mounted indoor unit, see reference. Figure 1 Figure 2 Figure 8 Figures 12 to 16 Figures 17 to 21 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 upward or downward; or, in the second rotation position, the second air outlet is used to discharge air upward and downward.

[0211] Thus, in the first ejection position, both the upper side air outlet 221 and the lower side air outlet 221 are exposed. At this time, 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. At this time, the air outlet device is in the first three-dimensional air outlet mode.

[0212] In the second ejection position, the front air outlet 211 ejects air forward, the upper side air outlet 221 ejects air upward and forward, the lower side air outlet 221 ejects air downward and forward, 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.

[0213] In the first rotating position, the second air outlet 20 on the upper side and the side air outlet 221 can both blow air, at this time, the air flow first flows upward and then gradually sinks downward, thereby the air outlet device is in a "ceiling air" mode. Alternatively, the second air outlet 20 on the lower side and the side air outlet 221 can both blow air, at this time, the air flow flows downward, thereby the air outlet device is in a "carpet air" mode.

[0214] In the second rotating position, the side air outlet 221 on the upper side and the lower side, and the second air outlet 20 can all blow air, at this time, the air outlet device is in an up-down front air mode.

[0215] According to a third aspect of the present disclosure, an air conditioner is provided, comprising the air outlet device as above or the indoor unit as above.
