Description

[0001] This application claims priority to the Chinese patent application No. 202411790493.3 filed on December 06, 2024, entitled “An air conditioner”, the whole content of which is incorporated herein by reference. TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] The present application relates to the technical field of air supply duct, in particular to an air supply duct and an air conditioner. BACKGROUND

[0003] Traditional household wall-mounted air conditioners are divided into indoor units and outdoor units. However, no matter what type of model, because the indoor unit has core components such as heat exchangers, motors, and fan blades inside, the size of the appearance cannot be designed into a delicate and small shape, so it cannot be well integrated with the home environment.

[0004] Currently, some commercial kitchen air conditioners supply air to the kitchen through air ducts. However, due to the large size of the air ducts and the fact that they are usually standard parts, their versatility is low, and they cannot be adapted to different types of user rooms. Moreover, they do not have return air and are not suitable for home scenarios, and they cannot achieve furniture integration. UTILITY MODEL CONTENT

[0005] The embodiments of the present application provide an air supply duct and an air conditioner to solve the technical problem that in related technologies, the pipe size is large and usually a standard part, there is no return air, it is not suitable for home scenarios, and it cannot achieve furniture integration, so it is conspicuous and not aesthetically pleasing in appearance.

[0006] In a first aspect, the embodiments of the present application provide an air supply duct for supplying air to an air conditioner, the air supply duct comprising a fitting unit and a plurality of duct units, the fitting unit and the plurality of duct units being connected in sequence and forming an air outlet at one end, the air outlet being at least connected to the duct units, and the fitting unit being arranged close to the air outlet.

[0007] When the air supply duct is installed at a target space, the air outlet is exposed, and at least part of the surface of the fitting unit forms a continuous surface with the side wall surface of the target space located on at least one side of the fitting unit.

[0008] The air supply duct provided by the embodiments of the present application can be integrated into the side wall of the target space when the air supply duct is installed at the target space, and at least part of the surface of the fitting unit forms a continuous surface with the side wall surface of the target space located on at least one side of the fitting unit. Thus, the air supply duct can be basically integrated with the target space when installed at the target space, thereby avoiding the air supply duct appearing conspicuous and improving the aesthetics of the air supply duct.

[0009] Specifically, the air outlet of the air supply pipeline is exposed on the wall surface, and the air outlet and the wall surface on at least one side of the air outlet form a continuous surface, so that the air outlet is not conspicuous on the wall surface, and the air supply pipeline is integrated with the wall, thereby improving the aesthetics.

[0010] More specifically, when the air supply pipeline of the embodiment is installed at the target space, the air outlet and the side wall surface of the target space around the air outlet form a continuous surface. In this way, the air supply pipeline can be more integrated with the side wall of the target space, further improving the aesthetics.

[0011] In addition, the cost of the matching unit is relatively low, and compared with the relatively high-cost pipeline unit, users can select matching units of different sizes according to actual needs to assist the pipeline unit to form an air supply pipeline matching the user's room.

[0012] It can be understood that the air supply pipeline with the above-mentioned matching unit has a larger contact area with the user's room, and the air supply pipeline has higher installation stability, which can improve the installation stability of the user's air supply pipeline and air conditioner, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the air conditioner.

[0013] In the above-mentioned air supply pipeline, optionally, the matching unit has an abutting surface, and the abutting surface is located on the side of the matching unit away from the pipeline unit.

[0014] When the air supply pipeline is installed at the target space, the abutting surface and the side wall surface of the target space on at least one side of the abutting surface form a continuous surface.

[0015] When the pipeline unit cannot cover one side wall of the room, in order to make the air supply pipeline not conspicuous on the wall surface and integrate the air supply pipeline with the wall, the matching unit can be used to extend the pipeline unit. That is, the two ends of the matching unit abut against the side wall surface of the target space and the pipeline unit respectively, thereby improving the aesthetics.

[0016] Through the above-mentioned arrangement, the air supply pipeline is visually integrated with the surrounding environment, and the coordination between the air conditioner and the home environment is enhanced. By tightly abutting the abutting surface of the matching unit to the side wall surface of the target space, the installation stability of the air supply pipeline is improved, the displacement or loosening caused by external factors is reduced, and the normal operation of the air conditioner and the stability of the air supply effect are ensured.

[0017] In the above-mentioned air supply pipeline, optionally, when the air supply pipeline is installed at the target space, the abutting surface and the side wall surface of the target space around the abutting surface form a continuous surface.

[0018] Through the above arrangement, the matching unit of the air supply duct closely abuts the side wall surface of the target space, forming a continuous visual effect, so that the air supply duct is visually consistent with the surrounding environment, avoiding the problem that the traditional air conditioner indoor unit or the air supply duct of the commercial kitchen air conditioner is large in size and conspicuous in appearance, thereby affecting the indoor aesthetics.

[0019] For example, when installed on the wall of a room, the matching unit can be designed to be flush with the wall surface or form a continuous decorative line, so that the air supply duct is integrated with the wall, thereby improving the overall aesthetics.

[0020] In addition, by closely abutting the abutting surface of the matching unit to the side wall surface of the target space, the installation stability of the air supply duct is improved, displacement or loosening caused by external factors is reduced, and the normal operation of the air conditioner and the stability of the air supply effect are ensured.

[0021] In the above air supply duct, optionally, when the air supply duct is installed at the target space, the abutting surface and the side wall surface of the target space around the abutting surface are in the same plane.

[0022] Through the above arrangement, the matching unit of the air supply duct closely abuts the side wall surface of the target space, i.e., the abutting surface and the side wall surface of the target space are in the same plane, so that the air supply duct is visually highly integrated with the surrounding environment, avoiding the problem that the traditional air conditioner indoor unit or the air supply duct of the commercial kitchen air conditioner is large in size and conspicuous in appearance, thereby affecting the indoor aesthetics. For example, when installed on the wall of a room, the matching unit can be designed to be flush with the wall surface, so that the air supply duct is integrated with the wall, thereby improving the overall aesthetics.

[0023] In addition, the air supply duct with the above matching unit has a larger contact area with the user's room, and the air supply duct has higher installation stability, which can improve the installation stability of the air supply duct and the air conditioner of the user, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the air conditioner.

[0024] In the above air supply duct, optionally, when the air supply duct is installed at the target space, the plane where the air outlet is located and the side wall surface of the target space located at least one side of the air outlet form a continuous surface.

[0025] Through the above arrangement, the plane where the air outlet is located and the side wall surface of the target space form a continuous surface, so that the air supply duct is visually highly integrated with the surrounding environment, avoiding the problem that the traditional air conditioner indoor unit or the air supply duct of the commercial kitchen air conditioner is large in size and conspicuous in appearance, thereby affecting the indoor aesthetics. For example, when installed on the wall of a room, the matching unit can be designed to be flush with the wall surface or form a continuous decorative line, so that the air supply duct is integrated with the wall, thereby improving the overall aesthetics.

[0026] In the air supply duct as described above, optionally, when the air supply duct is installed at the target space, the plane where the air outlet is located is in the same plane as the side wall surface of the target space located at least one side of the air outlet.

[0027] Through the above arrangement, the plane where the air outlet is located is in the same plane as the side wall surface of the target space A, so that the air supply duct is highly integrated with the surrounding environment visually, avoiding the problem that the traditional air conditioner indoor unit or the air supply duct of the commercial kitchen air conditioner affects the indoor aesthetics due to the large volume and the conspicuous appearance. For example, when installed on the wall of a room, the matching unit can be designed to be flush with the wall surface or form a continuous decorative line, so that the air supply duct is integrated with the wall, improving the overall aesthetics.

[0028] In the air supply duct as described above, optionally, when the air supply duct is installed at the target space, the matching unit has an exposed surface that does not contact the target space, and the exposed surface and the plane where the air outlet is located form a continuous surface.

[0029] Through the above arrangement, the continuous surface makes the air supply duct highly integrated with the surrounding environment, avoiding the problem that the traditional air conditioner indoor unit or the air supply duct of the commercial kitchen air conditioner affects the indoor aesthetics due to the large volume and the conspicuous appearance. For example, when installed on the wall of a room, the exposed surface of the decorative plate can be designed to be flush with the wall surface or form a continuous decorative line, so that the air supply duct is integrated with the wall, improving the overall aesthetics.

[0030] In the air supply duct as described above, optionally, when the air supply duct is installed at the target space, the exposed surface and the plane where the air outlet is located are in the same surface.

[0031] Through the above arrangement, the exposed surface and the plane where the air outlet is located are in the same surface, so that the air supply duct is highly integrated with the surrounding environment, avoiding the problem that the traditional air conditioner indoor unit or the air supply duct of the commercial kitchen air conditioner affects the indoor aesthetics due to the large volume and the conspicuous appearance. For example, when installed on the wall of a room, the exposed surface of the decorative plate can be designed to be flush with the wall surface or form a continuous decorative line, so that the air supply duct is integrated with the wall, improving the overall aesthetics.

[0032] In the air supply duct as described above, optionally, further comprising a decorative plate, the number of the decorative plates is multiple, and the multiple decorative plates are sequentially connected head to tail on the matching unit and the duct unit.

[0033] Through the above arrangement, the head-to-tail connection can form a continuous visual effect, making the air supply pipeline more integrated in appearance. This design not only enhances the aesthetic appearance of the air supply pipeline, but also reduces the vortex and resistance of air on the surface of the air supply pipeline, optimizing the indoor air flow organization. At the same time, the tightly connected decorative plates also help to improve the air tightness of the air supply pipeline, reduce energy loss, and improve the overall energy efficiency of the air conditioner.

[0034] In a second aspect, the embodiments of the present application also provide an air conditioner, comprising a machine body and the air supply pipeline, the air supply pipeline being in communication with the machine body, the machine body being located outside a target space, and the air supply pipeline being located inside the target space.

[0035] The air conditioner provided by the embodiments of the present application places the machine body outdoors, and only the air supply pipeline is located indoors. The air supply pipeline is in communication with the machine body. The heat exchanger, motor, fan blade and other components in the machine body are away from the indoor space. The indoor part no longer needs to accommodate the above-mentioned components, thereby breaking through the limitation of the larger size of the traditional air conditioner indoor unit due to the internal structure.

[0036] In the above-mentioned air conditioner, optionally, the machine body comprises a shell and an evaporator, a condenser, a compressor and a fan arranged in the shell, and the air supply pipeline is provided with an air inlet duct and an air return duct, and the air inlet duct and the air return duct are arranged side by side.

[0037] The gas after heat exchange by the evaporator is blown into the air inlet duct by the fan and then flows into the target space. The gas in the target space enters the shell through the air return duct.

[0038] Through the above arrangement, the air inlet duct and the air return duct are arranged side by side, so that the structure of the air supply pipeline is relatively compact, and air circulation in and out can be realized in a limited space. On the one hand, it can save space, be suitable for home environment, and better integrate with indoor decoration and furniture layout; on the other hand, it can reduce air flow resistance and energy loss, improve air flow smoothness, reduce fan energy consumption, improve the heat exchange efficiency of the heat exchange components such as the evaporator, thereby reducing the use amount of refrigerant and the burden of the compressor, and improving the overall energy efficiency of the air conditioner.

For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the present application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0060] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely in the following with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, not all. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0061] Reference Figure 1In a first aspect, the embodiments of the present application provide an air conditioner 10, comprising a machine body 100 and a supply air duct 200, the supply air duct 200 being in communication with the machine body 100, the machine body 100 being located outside a target space A, and the supply air duct 200 being located inside the target space A.

[0062] It can be understood that the target space A refers to a room or a cabinet in which the air conditioner 10 is installed, and the following examples are taken with the target space A being a room. Correspondingly, outside the target space A refers to the outside of the room, i.e. the outdoor, and inside the target space A refers to the inside of the room, i.e. the indoor. Therefore, the machine body 100 being located outside the target space A means that the machine body 100 is located outdoors, and the supply air duct 200 being located inside the target space A means that the supply air duct 200 is located indoors.

[0063] Through the above arrangement, the air conditioner 10 places the machine body 100 outdoors, and only the supply air duct 200 is located indoors. The supply air duct 200 is in communication with the machine body 100, and the heat exchanger, motor, fan blade and other components in the machine body 100 are away from the indoor space. The indoor part no longer needs to accommodate the above components, thereby breaking through the limitation of the large size of the traditional air conditioner 10 indoor unit due to the internal structure.

[0064] In this way, the size of the indoor part of the air conditioner 10 can be greatly reduced, thereby reducing the occupied space. In addition, the size of the supply air duct 200 is small, which is convenient for customized design, such as being hidden inside the ceiling, wall or furniture, etc., further enhancing the coordination of the air conditioner 10 with the home environment, avoiding the influence on the indoor appearance caused by the large volume and conspicuous appearance of the traditional air conditioner 10 indoor unit and commercial kitchen air conditioner 10 air pipe, and providing a solution that is both efficient and beautiful for users.

[0065] With reference to Figure 2 As an optional embodiment, the machine body 100 comprises a shell 110, an evaporator 120, a condenser 130, a compressor 140 and a fan.

[0066] Specifically, the shell 110 has an internal cavity formed therein, and the evaporator 120, the condenser 130, the compressor 140 and the fan are all located in the shell 110, i.e. in the cavity. The shell 110 can protect and accommodate the internal components, prevent damage to the internal elements by the external environment, and facilitate the installation and fixation of the components.

[0067] In the cooling mode, the evaporator 120 evaporates the refrigerant to absorb heat, thereby reducing the temperature of the air flowing through the surface thereof and achieving the cooling of the indoor air. In the heating mode, the evaporator 120 condenses the refrigerant to release heat, thereby heating the flowing air and increasing the indoor temperature.

[0068] The condenser 130 is used for heat dissipation, and can cool the high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant gas discharged by the compressor 140 into a liquid state, and release heat to the external environment. In the refrigeration process, heat release is performed outdoors, thereby ensuring the continuous operation of the refrigeration cycle.

[0069] The compressor 140 is used for sucking the low-temperature and low-pressure refrigerant vapor from the evaporator 120, compressing it into high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant gas, and providing power for the circulation of the refrigerant in the air conditioner, thereby driving the refrigeration cycle of the air conditioner 10.

[0070] The fan is used for generating air flow, and can blow air through the surface of the evaporator 120 or the condenser 130, promote heat exchange between the air and the refrigerant, and enable the heat-exchanged air to be delivered into the target space A, thereby achieving temperature regulation of indoor air.

[0071] Specifically, the machine body 100 can include two fans, i.e., a first fan 150 and a second fan 160. The first fan 150 can blow air towards the evaporator 120, and the heat-exchanged air can be delivered into the target space A. The second fan 160 is used for blowing air that has passed through the condenser 130 out of the machine body 100, so as to release heat.

[0072] In some embodiments, the air supply duct 200 is used for air supply of the air conditioner 10, i.e., for delivering the air processed by the machine body 100 of the air conditioner 10 to the target space A, and achieving circulation of indoor air. The air supply duct 200 is provided with an air inlet air duct and an air return air duct.

[0073] The air inlet air duct can deliver the air blown out by the fan after heat exchange by the evaporator 120 into the target space A, so as to ensure that the cooled or heated air can enter the indoor space, and effectively regulate the indoor temperature and humidity.

[0074] The air return air duct can receive the air in the target space A, so as to return the air to the inside of the machine body 100, and again perform heat exchange by the evaporator 120 and other components, thereby achieving recycling of the air, and maintaining the stability of the indoor air temperature and humidity.

[0075] The air inlet air duct and the air return air duct are arranged side by side, and this layout makes the structure of the air supply duct 200 relatively compact, can achieve air circulation in and out in a limited space, can save space on one hand, is suitable for a home environment, and can better integrate with indoor decoration and furniture layout; on the other hand, can reduce air flow resistance and energy loss, improve air flow smoothness, reduce fan energy consumption, improve the heat exchange efficiency of the evaporator 120 and other heat exchange components, thereby reducing the use amount of refrigerant and the burden of the compressor 140, and improving the overall energy efficiency of the air conditioner 10.

[0076] The gas after heat exchange by the evaporator 120 is blown into the air inlet duct by the fan and then flows into the target space A, and the gas in the target space A enters the shell 110 through the return air duct.

[0077] The working process of the air conditioner 10 is as follows:

[0078] The compressor 140 operates to compress the low-temperature and low-pressure refrigerant vapor into high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant gas and discharge into the condenser 130. In the condenser 130, the refrigerant gas releases heat and condenses into liquid. The liquid refrigerant enters the evaporator 120. In the evaporator 120, the refrigerant absorbs air heat and evaporates into a gaseous state, and is then sucked into the compressor 140 to complete the cycle. At the same time, the fan operates to suck the air in the target space A into the body 100. The air exchanges heat with the refrigerant in the evaporator 120 and the temperature is lowered. The air after heat exchange is blown into the air inlet duct of the air supply duct 200 by the fan and flows to the target space A to adjust the indoor temperature. The air in the target space A returns to the body 100 through the return air duct and exchanges heat again in the evaporator 120 to form a cycle.

[0079] With reference to Figure 3 In a second aspect, the embodiments of the present application also provide an air supply duct 200, which comprises a fitting unit 210 and a plurality of duct units 220. The fitting unit 210 and the plurality of duct units 220 are connected in sequence and form an air outlet 230 at one end, the air outlet 230 is connected to at least one duct unit 220, and the fitting unit 210 is arranged close to the air outlet 230.

[0080] It can be understood that when the air supply duct 200 is formed by connecting the fitting unit 210 and the plurality of duct units 220 in sequence, the fitting unit 210 and the plurality of duct units 220 can be mutually buckled and spliced to obtain the entire air supply duct 200.

[0081] For example, a snap ring can be arranged at the connection position of the fitting unit 210 and the duct unit 220 and the connection position of the duct unit 220 and the duct unit 220, the snap ring mutually clamps and seals the end portions of the duct units 220 on both sides.

[0082] It should be noted that the plurality of duct units 220 are connected in sequence, and a channel for circulating air flow can be formed, the channel is connected to the body 100 and connected to the target space A through the air outlet 230.

[0083] Through the above arrangement, the machine body 100 can suck the air in the target space A into the machine body 100 through the fan. The air exchanges heat with the refrigerant through the evaporator 120, and the temperature is reduced. After heat exchange, the air is blown into the air inlet duct of the air supply duct 200 by the fan, flows to the target space A through the air outlet 230, and adjusts the indoor temperature. The air in the target space A returns to the machine body 100 through the air return duct, and is heat-exchanged again through the evaporator 120 to form a cycle.

[0084] It can be understood that the matching unit 210 and the plurality of duct units 220 are connected in sequence, which ensures that the air can flow smoothly from the duct unit 220 to the air outlet 230, and the matching unit 210 effectively modifies the environment around the air outlet 230, so that it is coordinated with the surrounding decoration style. For example, when installed on the wall of a room, the matching unit 210 can be designed to be flush with the wall surface or form a continuous decorative line, so that the air supply duct 200 is integrated with the wall, improving the overall aesthetics.

[0085] In addition, the matching unit 210 is arranged close to the air outlet 230, so that the matching unit 210 and the air outlet 230 can be operated as a whole during installation, reducing installation steps and time, and improving installation efficiency. The matching unit 210 is designed to be a detachable structure, which facilitates quick disassembly and assembly when maintaining or cleaning the air outlet 230, without affecting other parts.

[0086] In some embodiments, in order to facilitate the assembly and use of the air supply duct 200, the plurality of duct units 220 are the same size. For example, the length of the duct unit 220 is 1 m. It can be understood that when the air supply duct 200 is installed on the inner wall of a room, in order to ensure the aesthetics of the air supply duct 200, the air supply duct 200 needs to be adapted to the size of the room. However, the sizes of different rooms are different, and if the width of the room is 4.5 m. When the above-mentioned air supply duct 200 is applied, the plurality of duct units 220 with a length of 1 m cannot completely cover the wall of the room. Therefore, a matching unit 210 with a lower cost can be provided, and the matching unit 210 does not need to have high air tightness like the duct unit 220.

[0087] It should be noted that the matching unit 210 can provide appropriate sizes or smaller sizes according to user needs to meet the matching of the air supply duct 200 in different rooms, such as a length of 0.1 m.

[0088] When the air supply duct 200 is installed at the target space A, the air outlet 230 is exposed, and at least part of the surface of the fitting unit 210 and the side wall surface of the target space A located at least one side of the fitting unit 210 form a continuous surface, so that the air supply duct 200 can be integrated into the side wall of the target space A, and the air supply duct 200 can make the air outlet 230 not conspicuous when installed at the target space A, and the air supply duct 200 is basically integrated with the target space A, thereby avoiding the air supply duct 200 being conspicuous and improving the appearance of the air supply duct 200.

[0089] More specifically, when the air supply duct 200 of the embodiment is installed at the target space A, at least part of the surface of the fitting unit 210 and the side wall surface of the target space A located at least one side of the fitting unit 210 form a continuous surface. In this way, the air supply duct 200 and the side wall of the target space A can be more integrated, further improving the appearance.

[0090] In addition, according to the foregoing, the cost of the fitting unit 210 is relatively low, and compared with the relatively high-cost duct unit 220, the user can select different sizes of the fitting unit 210 according to actual needs to assist the duct unit 220 to form the air supply duct 200 matching the user's room.

[0091] It can be understood that the air supply duct 200 with the fitting unit 210 described above has a larger contact area with the user's room, and the air supply duct 200 has higher installation stability, which can improve the installation stability of the user's air supply duct 200 and air conditioner 10, thereby ensuring the normal work of the air conditioner 10.

[0092] Referring to Figure 3 As an optional embodiment, the fitting unit 210 has an abutting surface 211 located on the side of the fitting unit 210 away from the duct unit 220.

[0093] According to the foregoing, when the cross section of the fitting unit 210 is a right triangle, the abutting surface 211 can refer to the end surface of the fitting unit 210 away from the duct unit 220, that is, the abutting surface 211 can refer to the right triangle.

[0094] When the air supply duct 200 is installed at the target space A, the abutment surface 211 forms a continuous surface with the side wall surface of the target space A located at least one side of the abutment surface 211. It can be understood that when the duct unit 220 cannot cover one side wall of the room, in order to make the air supply duct 200 blend in with the wall surface and make the air supply duct 200 blend in with the wall, the matching unit 210 can be used to extend the duct unit 220. That is, the two ends of the matching unit 210 abut the side wall surface of the target space A and the duct unit 220 respectively, thereby improving the aesthetics. The abutment surface 211 refers to the end surface of the right triangle of the matching unit 210 away from the duct unit 220.

[0095] Through the above arrangement, the air supply duct 200 is visually integrated with the surrounding environment, and the coordination of the air conditioner 10 with the home environment is enhanced. By closely fitting the abutment surface 211 of the matching unit 210 to the side wall surface of the target space A, the installation stability of the air supply duct 200 is improved, the displacement or looseness caused by external factors is reduced, and the normal operation of the air conditioner 10 and the stability of the air supply effect are ensured.

[0096] At the same time, the continuous surface design helps to guide air flow, optimizes indoor air flow organization, improves the cooling and heating efficiency of the air conditioner 10, makes the indoor temperature distribution more uniform, and improves the comfort of the user. And, because the matching unit 210 forms a continuous surface with the side wall surface, the accumulation of dust and dirt at the joint can be reduced, making cleaning more convenient and efficient, and also facilitating daily maintenance work such as checking the air tightness of the air supply duct 200, replacing the filter screen, etc., thereby improving the maintainability of the air conditioner 10.

[0097] Referring to Figure 3 , as an optional embodiment, when the air supply duct 200 is installed at the target space A, the matching unit 210 has an exposed surface 212 that does not contact the target space A.

[0098] It can be understood that the matching unit 210 is part of the air supply duct 200, and the exposed surface 212 refers to a surface that does not directly contact the target space A (such as the walls, ceiling, etc. of the room). The exposed surface 212 is located on the outside of the air supply duct 200 and is directly exposed to the indoor environment, which can be directly seen by the user.

[0099] The exposed surface 212 forms a continuous surface with the surface on which the air outlet 230 is located, that is, the exposed surface 212 and the surface on which the air outlet 230 is located are visually continuous, without obvious dividing lines or abrupt transitions. The surface on which the air outlet 230 is located is the part of the air supply duct 200 from which air flows out, and the exposed surface 212 forms a continuous surface with it, making the entire air supply duct 200 more integrated in appearance.

[0100] Through the above arrangement, the continuous surface makes the air supply duct 200 highly integrated with the surrounding environment, avoiding the problem that the traditional air conditioner 10 indoor unit or commercial kitchen air conditioner 10 air pipe affects the indoor aesthetics due to large size and conspicuous appearance. For example, when installed on the wall of a room, the exposed surface 212 of the decorative plate 240 can be designed to be flush with the wall surface or form a continuous decorative line, so that the air supply duct 200 is integrated with the wall and the overall aesthetics is improved.

[0101] For example, when the cross section of the fitting unit 210 is triangular (as shown in Figure 4 ), the target space A is a room, which can be arranged at a position between the top and the side wall of the room, and only the exposed surface 212 is exposed, which forms a continuous fold line type surface with the surface of the side wall.

[0102] When the cross section of the fitting unit 210 is quadrilateral, as Figure 5 , two of the sides can be installed with the top and the side wall of the target space A, and the other two sides can be provided with the exposed surface 212 at one place or both places.

[0103] The cross section of the fitting unit 210 of the present embodiment is a right-angled triangle, the hypotenuse of which is the exposed surface 212, and the two right-angled sides are the installation surface or the fitting surface. The two right-angled sides are respectively attached to the top and the side wall of the room (i.e. the target space A), at which time only the surface of the exposed surface 212 is exposed, and the abutting surface 211 is the right-angled triangular end surface of the fitting unit 210 facing away from the duct unit 220, and the right-angled side surface can also be provided with installation components for installation with the top and / or the side wall. The following content can be specifically explained with reference to the present embodiment.

[0104] It can be understood that the continuous surface is not a plane, but a folded surface. The surface of the exposed surface 212 has a certain included angle with the surface of the wall, which can be related to the design of the exposed surface 212. For example, when the cross section of the air outlet duct is an isosceles right-angled triangle, the included angle between the exposed surface 212 and the surface of the wall is 135°. Specifically, when the fitting unit 210 with the triangular cross section is arranged on the wall, since the exposed surface 212 is continuous with the surface of the wall, the air supply duct 200 is integrated with the wall, and the appearance is elegant and beautiful.

[0105] Referring to Figures 4-7 , as an optional embodiment, when the air supply duct 200 is installed in the target space A, the abutting surface 211 and the surface of the side wall of the target space A around the abutting surface 211 form a continuous surface.

[0106] According to the foregoing, the abutment surface 211 refers to the end surface of the fitting unit 210 facing away from the duct unit 220, and the side wall surface of the target space A around the abutment surface 211 refers to the plurality of surfaces of the room corner. The continuous surface formed by the abutment surface 211 of the fitting unit 210 and the side wall surface of the target space A around the abutment surface 211 can refer to the abutment surface 211 of the fitting unit 210 and the two right-angled surfaces abutting against the three wall surfaces of the room corner.

[0107] Through the above arrangement, the fitting unit 210 of the air supply duct 200 closely abuts against the side wall surface of the target space A, forming a continuous visual effect, so that the air supply duct 200 is visually consistent with the surrounding environment, avoiding the problem that the traditional air conditioner 10 indoor unit or commercial kitchen air conditioner 10 air duct affects the indoor aesthetics due to large size and conspicuous appearance.

[0108] For example, when installed on the wall of a room, the fitting unit 210 can be designed to be flush with the wall surface or form a continuous decorative line, so that the air supply duct 200 is integrated with the wall, improving the overall aesthetics.

[0109] In addition, by closely abutting the abutment surface 211 of the fitting unit 210 against the side wall surface of the target space A, the installation stability of the air supply duct 200 is improved, reducing displacement or loosening caused by external factors, and ensuring the normal operation of the air conditioner 10 and the stability of the air supply effect.

[0110] With reference to Figures 4-7 , as an optional embodiment, when the air supply duct 200 is installed at the target space A, the abutment surface 211 and the side wall surface of the target space A around the abutment surface 211 are in the same plane.

[0111] According to the foregoing, the abutment surface 211 refers to the end surface of the fitting unit 210 facing away from the duct unit 220. The abutment surface 211 of the present embodiment and the side wall surface of the target space A around the abutment surface 211 are in the same plane. At this time, an installation slot needs to be provided at the target space A, and the fitting unit 210 is embedded in the installation slot.

[0112] Through the above arrangement, the fitting unit 210 of the air supply duct 200 closely abuts against the side wall surface of the target space A, i.e., the abutment surface 211 and the side wall surface of the target space A are in the same plane, so that the air supply duct 200 is visually highly integrated with the surrounding environment, avoiding the problem that the traditional air conditioner 10 indoor unit or commercial kitchen air conditioner 10 air duct affects the indoor aesthetics due to large size and conspicuous appearance. For example, when installed on the wall of a room, the fitting unit 210 can be designed to be flush with the wall surface, so that the air supply duct 200 is integrated with the wall, improving the overall aesthetics.

[0113] With reference to Figure 3As an optional embodiment, when the air supply duct 200 is installed at the target space A, the plane where the air outlet 230 is located and the side wall surface of the target space A located at at least one side of the air outlet 230 form a continuous plane.

[0114] For example, when the cross section of the air supply duct 200 is triangular (as shown in Figure 8 ), and the target space A is a room, it can be installed at the position between the top and the side wall of the room, only exposing the air outlet 230, and the plane where the air outlet 230 is located and the surface of the ceiling and the side wall form a continuous broken line plane.

[0115] When the cross section of the air supply duct 200 is quadrilateral, as shown in Figure 9 , two of the sides can be installed with the top and the side wall of the target space A, and the other two sides can be provided with the air outlet 230 at one position or two positions.

[0116] Preferably, when the cross section of the air supply duct 200 is quadrilateral, the plane where the air outlet 230 is located and the side wall surface of the target space A located around the air outlet 230 form a substantially continuous plane.

[0117] More preferably, as shown in the figure, the plane where the air outlet 230 is located and the side wall surface of the target space A located around the air outlet 230 are in the same plane. At this time, a mounting groove needs to be opened at the target space A, and the air supply duct is embedded in the mounting groove, only exposing the plane where the air outlet 230 is located.

[0118] Through the above arrangement, the plane where the air outlet 230 is located and the side wall surface of the target space A form a continuous plane, so that the air supply duct 200 is visually highly integrated with the surrounding environment, avoiding the problem that the traditional air conditioner 10 indoor unit or the commercial kitchen air conditioner 10 air pipe affects the indoor aesthetics due to large volume and conspicuous appearance. For example, when installed on the wall of a room, the matching unit 210 can be designed to be flush with the wall surface or form a continuous decorative line, so that the air supply duct 200 is integrated with the wall, improving the overall aesthetics.

[0119] More specifically, the continuity in the embodiment does not mean that the air outlet 230 or the plane where the air outlet 230 is located must be strictly in a plane, a curved surface or a broken plane. When the air outlet 230 or the plane where the air outlet 230 is located is convex or concave to the outside of the side wall by about 1-2 cm, it can also be regarded as a continuous plane or the same plane.

[0120] Further, as an optional embodiment, when the air supply duct 200 is installed at the target space A, the plane where the air outlet 230 is located and the side wall surface of the target space A located at at least one side of the air outlet 230 are in the same plane.

[0121] Through the above arrangement, the plane where the air outlet 230 is located is in the same plane as the surface of the side wall of the target space A, so that the air supply duct 200 is visually highly integrated with the surrounding environment, avoiding the problem that the traditional air conditioner 10 indoor unit or the air duct of the commercial kitchen air conditioner 10 affects the indoor aesthetics due to large volume and conspicuous appearance. For example, when installed on the wall of a room, the matching unit 210 can be designed to be flush with the surface of the wall or form a continuous decorative line, so that the air supply duct 200 is integrated with the wall, improving the overall aesthetics.

[0122] Referring to Figures 3-9 , as an optional embodiment, when the air supply duct 200 is installed at the target space A, the exposed surface 212 is in the same surface as the plane where the air outlet 230 is located, that is, the exposed surface 212 and the plane where the air outlet 230 is located are visually coherent, and being in the same surface makes the entire air supply duct 200 more integrated in appearance.

[0123] Through the above arrangement, the plane where the air outlet 230 is located is in the same plane as the surface of the side wall of the target space A, so that the air supply duct 200 is visually highly integrated with the surrounding environment, avoiding the problem that the traditional air conditioner 10 indoor unit or the air duct of the commercial kitchen air conditioner 10 affects the indoor aesthetics due to large volume and conspicuous appearance. For example, when installed on the wall of a room, the matching unit 210 can be designed to be flush with the surface of the wall or form a continuous decorative line, so that the air supply duct 200 is integrated with the wall, improving the overall aesthetics.

[0124] Referring to Figure 10 , as an optional embodiment, the air supply duct 200 further comprises a decorative plate 240, which is used to modify the appearance of the air supply duct 200 so that it can better integrate with the indoor environment.

[0125] The number of decorative plates 240 is multiple, and the multiple decorative plates 240 are respectively arranged on the matching unit 210 and the duct unit 220. For example, the matching unit 210 and the multiple duct units 220 are respectively provided with one decorative plate 240.

[0126] It should be noted that each decorative plate 240 can be customized according to its location and function, such as the decorative plate 240 on the matching unit 210 can focus on cooperation with the air outlet 230, and the decorative plate 240 on the duct unit 220 can focus on integration with the indoor environment.

[0127] The plurality of decorative plates 240 are connected in sequence. The connection in sequence can form a continuous visual effect, making the air supply duct 200 more integrated in appearance. This design not only enhances the aesthetics of the air supply duct 200, but also reduces the air vortex and resistance on the surface of the air supply duct 200, optimizing the indoor air flow organization. At the same time, the closely connected decorative plates 240 also help to improve the air tightness of the air supply duct 200, reduce energy loss, and improve the overall energy efficiency of the air conditioner 10.

[0128] It should be noted that different structures can be set on the decorative plate 240 according to user needs, including but not limited to atmosphere lights, pictures, labels, and other content.

[0129] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, and are not limited thereto; although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments, or make equivalent replacements for part or all of the technical features; and these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application.
