[0042] Unless otherwise stated, the term "multiple" means two or more.

[0043] Currently, the top cover liner of square cabinet air conditioners is generally made of sheet metal. When wind blows onto the top cover liner, it is prone to resonance, which can easily produce abnormal noise. In addition, the existing top cover liner does not have an air guiding structure, which increases wind resistance and makes it difficult to reduce noise levels, thus affecting the user experience.

[0044] Based on this, this application provides an air conditioner including an indoor unit. The indoor unit includes a housing, a heat exchange air outlet assembly, and a buffer. By providing an air inlet and an air outlet on the housing, the heat exchange air outlet assembly is disposed inside the housing and extends from the air inlet to the air outlet. The buffer is disposed inside the housing and located above the air outlet. The heat exchange air outlet assembly blows air towards the buffer and the air outlet, and the buffer cushions the air, avoiding or reducing noise generated by vibration, thereby improving the user experience.

[0045] The embodiments of this utility model are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0046] Please refer to Figures 1-3 As shown, this utility model embodiment provides an air conditioner, including an indoor unit, which includes a housing 100, a heat exchange air outlet assembly 200, and a buffer 300.

[0047] The housing 100 has an air inlet 110 and an air outlet 120.

[0048] The heat exchange air outlet assembly 200 is disposed inside the housing 100, and the heat exchange air outlet assembly 200 extends from the air inlet 110 to the air outlet 120.

[0049] The buffer 300 is disposed inside the housing 100 and located above the air outlet 120.

[0050] The heat exchange air outlet assembly 200 is configured to blow air through the air direction buffer 300 and the air outlet 120, and the buffer 300 is configured to buffer the air.

[0051] In this embodiment, the indoor unit of the air conditioner can be a vertical square cabinet unit, with its housing 100 being approximately a cuboid structure. The housing 100 has an air inlet 110 on the lower side and an air outlet 120 on the upper front.

[0052] The heat exchange air outlet assembly 200 in this embodiment can be composed of a heat exchanger and a fan. It is installed inside the housing 100 and forms a heat exchange air duct. On the one hand, it drives indoor air to flow in from the air inlet 110 and then flow out from the air outlet 120 to form a circulation. On the other hand, it cools or heats the air flowing through the air inlet 110 and the air outlet 120 to regulate the indoor temperature.

[0053] In this embodiment, the buffer 300 is used to buffer and dampen the airflow. It can be a component with vibration absorption capabilities, such as foam plastic. The buffer 300 is disposed inside the housing 100 and located above the air outlet 120. The buffer 300 can face the heat exchange air outlet assembly 200. When the airflow hits the buffer 300, it can at least reduce some of the noise generated by vibration.

[0054] It should be noted that the indoor unit of this air conditioner may also include other components, such as air conditioning components, display modules, controllers, etc., which can be determined according to actual needs.

[0055] Specifically, when the indoor unit of the air conditioner is placed indoors, during normal use, the air flows in through the indoor air inlet 110 and enters the heat exchange air duct. The heat exchange air outlet assembly 200 blows the air through the air direction buffer 300 and the air outlet 120, and cools or heats the airflow. The buffer 300 buffers and dampens the airflow, and then it flows out from the air outlet 120, forming a circulation, which can create a comfortable environment.

[0056] It is understandable that, compared to the sheet metal top cover liner used in the prior art, the indoor unit of the air conditioner in this embodiment can effectively reduce noise levels and improve the user experience.

[0057] Therefore, the air conditioner provided in this application embodiment includes an indoor unit, which includes a housing 100, a heat exchange air outlet assembly 200, and a buffer 300. By providing an air inlet 110 and an air outlet 120 on the housing 100, the heat exchange air outlet assembly 200 is disposed inside the housing 100 and extends from the air inlet 110 to the air outlet 120. The buffer 300 is disposed inside the housing 100 and located above the air outlet 120. The heat exchange air outlet assembly 200 blows air towards the buffer 300 and the air outlet 120, and the buffer 300 buffers the airflow, avoiding or reducing noise generated by vibration, thereby improving the user experience.

[0058] In one possible design, the cushioning element 300 is a foam plastic part.

[0059] Specifically, the buffer 300 can be made of expanded polystyrene (EPS) sheets. Expanded polystyrene, also known as expandable polystyrene, has advantages such as low relative density, low thermal conductivity, low water absorption, resistance to impact and vibration, heat insulation, sound insulation, moisture protection, vibration reduction, and excellent dielectric properties. It is easy to mass-produce and manufacture at a low cost.

[0060] The buffer element 300 can also be made of other types of materials, as long as it can meet the vibration reduction function. The specific material type, density, etc. of the buffer element 300 can be determined according to actual needs, and no specific limitation is made in this embodiment.

[0061] In some embodiments, the buffer 300 has a guide portion 310 on the side facing the heat exchange air outlet assembly 200, the guide portion 310 being used to guide at least a portion of the airflow toward the air outlet 120.

[0062] Specifically, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the guide section 310 is used to guide the airflow towards the air outlet 120, and it can be a guide surface, a guide groove, etc.

[0063] This reduces the resistance of the airflow to the outlet 120, thereby further reducing vibration and noise.

[0064] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the flow guide 310 is a flow guide surface.

[0065] Specifically, continue as Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the guide surface can be inclined or curved. The side of the guide surface away from the air outlet 120 is close to the heat exchange air outlet component 200, while the side of the guide surface close to the air outlet 120 is away from the heat exchange air outlet component 200. That is, the position of the side of the guide surface close to the air outlet 120 is higher than the position of the side away from the air outlet 120, so that the air can smoothly transition and change direction.

[0066] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the guiding surface is a concave arc surface.

[0067] Specifically, continue as Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the guide surface faces Figure 2 The positive concave shape along the Y-axis, through parametric design, allows the wind to change direction smoothly.

[0068] The specific degree of concavity and parameters of the curved surface can be determined according to actual needs, and no specific limitations are made in this embodiment.

[0069] In some embodiments, the buffer 300 is provided with at least one mounting portion 320, and the housing 100 is provided with at least one connecting portion that matches the mounting portion 320, and the mounting portion 320 is connected to the connecting portion.

[0070] Specifically, in combination Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, one or more mounting parts 320, such as slots, can be provided on the upper side of the buffer 300. Correspondingly, one or more connecting parts, such as clips or springs, can be provided on the upper inner wall of the housing 100 to facilitate the fixed installation or replacement of the buffer 300.

[0071] Of course, the mounting part 320 and the connecting part can also be replaced by other types of connecting structures, as long as the structure can facilitate installation or replacement. In this embodiment, no further limitations are imposed.

[0072] In some embodiments, the air inlet 110 is located on the lower side of the housing 100, and the air outlet 120 is located on the upper side of the housing 100.

[0073] In this way, such as Figure 2 As shown, the wind can travel along Figure 2 The hollow arrow moves in the direction to meet the requirements for a reasonable arrangement of air intake and exhaust.

[0074] In addition, grilles, filters, and other components can be installed at the air inlet 110 and air outlet 120. This embodiment does not impose too many restrictions on this.

[0075] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the heat exchange air outlet assembly 200 includes a fan 210 and a heat exchanger 220, with the fan 210 on the side near the air inlet 110 and the heat exchanger 220 on the side near the air outlet 120.

[0076] The fan 210 is used to blow the air from the air inlet 110 through the heat exchanger 220, which is used to exchange heat with the air.

[0077] Specifically, the fan 210 can be a volute fan, which is located on the lower inner side of the housing 100 and near the air inlet 110. The inlet of the fan 210 faces the air inlet 110, and the outlet of the fan 210 faces the air outlet 120.

[0078] Furthermore, the heat exchanger 220 is located on the upper inner side of the housing 100, near the air outlet 120. The fan 210 provides power to blow air from the air inlet 110 sequentially through the heat exchanger 220, the buffer 300, and the air outlet 120. The heat exchanger 220 is used to cool or heat the air. The specific size and model of the fan 210 and heat exchanger 220 can be determined according to actual installation requirements; this embodiment does not impose specific limitations.

[0079] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the side of the heat exchanger 220 near the buffer 300 is tilted away from the air outlet 120, and the side of the heat exchanger 220 near the fan 210 is tilted towards the air outlet 120.

[0080] Specifically, the lower end of heat exchanger 220 is inclined forward, such as along... Figure 2 The reverse tilt of the X-axis causes the upper end of heat exchanger 220 to tilt backward, as along... Figure 2 The positive tilt of the X-axis makes the upper end of the heat exchanger 220 far away from the air outlet 120, and the heat exchanger 220 can be fixedly connected to the inner wall of the housing 100.

[0081] This configuration maximizes the heat exchange area of ​​the heat exchanger 220 within a limited space, ensuring optimal heat exchange performance.

[0082] In some embodiments, the air conditioner provided in this embodiment further includes an outdoor unit, which is connected to the indoor unit.

[0083] Specifically, as not shown in the figure, the outdoor unit of the air conditioner can be connected to the indoor unit of the air conditioner through pipes to allow refrigerant to circulate, thereby achieving cooling or heating of the heat exchanger 220. That is, the outdoor unit and the indoor unit of the air conditioner are used together. The specific model of the outdoor unit can be determined according to the actual indoor unit, and is not specifically limited in this embodiment.

[0084] The technical solutions of this application have been described above with reference to the preferred embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings. However, it is readily understood by those skilled in the art that the scope of protection of this application is obviously not limited to these specific embodiments. The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this application and are not intended to limit them.
