[0008] When the indoor unit of the air conditioner is in the gentle wind mode, the air guide plate is in the open position, and the gentle wind plate is set corresponding to the downwind section to soften the airflow flowing towards the downwind section.

[0009] In some embodiments, when the air guide plate is in the open position, the air guide plate is inclined upward in the direction outward from the air outlet.

[0010] In some embodiments, the flexible wind plate has a first plate and a second plate disposed opposite to each other in its thickness direction, and a plurality of connecting plates connecting the first plate and the second plate;

[0011] The first plate and the second plate are spaced apart to define a buffer cavity together with the plurality of connecting plates;

[0012] The first plate has multiple air inlets that connect to the buffer cavity, and the second plate has a soft-wind structure that connects to the buffer cavity.

[0013] In some embodiments, the soft-wind plate is rotatably mounted to the housing via a rotating shaft; and / or,

[0014] The soft-wind structure includes soft-wind holes, the diameter of which is smaller than the diameter of the air inlet; and / or,

[0015] The soft-wind structure includes a plurality of soft-wind holes, at least some of which are inclined toward the center of the first plate; and / or,

[0016] The soft wind structure includes a plurality of soft wind holes, at least some of which are inclined toward the edge of the first plate.

[0017] In some embodiments, the air guide plate also has a retracted position during its travel, wherein when the air guide plate is in the retracted position, the air guide plate covers the air outlet;

[0018] The indoor unit of the air conditioner also includes a drive device for driving the air guide plate to move between the open position and the retracted position.

[0019] In some embodiments, the driving device includes:

[0020] Mounting base, the mounting base is fixedly installed on the housing, and the mounting base is provided with guide rails that extend inward and outward along the air duct;

[0021] A slider is slidably mounted on the guide rail and connected to the air guide plate; and,

[0022] A driving component is provided to drive the slider to slide on the guide rail, so that the air guide plate can move between the open position and the retracted position.

[0023] In some embodiments, the soft-wind plate is rotatably mounted to the housing via a rotating shaft; and / or,

[0024] The air-softening plate is provided with air-softening holes; and / or,

[0025] The soft air plate has a comb-tooth soft air section.

[0026] In some embodiments, the wind deflector also has a clearance position during its travel, wherein when the wind deflector is in the clearance position, the wind deflector is used to avoid airflow toward the air outlet;

[0027] The indoor unit of the air conditioner also has a cooling mode. In the cooling mode, the air guide plate is in the open position and the soft air plate is in the avoidance position.

[0028] In some embodiments, the indoor unit of the air conditioner also has a heating mode, in which the air guide plate is in the open position and the soft air plate is arranged corresponding to the upper air outlet section to guide the airflow to the lower air outlet section.

[0029] In some embodiments, the indoor unit of the air conditioner also has a long-distance air supply mode, in which the air guide plate is in the open position and the soft air plate is located in the lower air outlet section and extends toward the air guide plate.

When the indoor unit of the air conditioner is in the soft wind mode, the air guide plate is in the open position, that is, the air guide plate divides the air outlet into an upper air outlet section and a lower air outlet section along the vertical direction. Correspondingly, at this time, the soft wind plate is set to the lower air outlet section to soften the airflow flowing towards the lower air outlet section. That is, the airflow from the lower air outlet section is a soft wind, thereby avoiding excessive wind speed when blowing towards the human body, which would cause discomfort. It can fill the near part of the room with coolness, while the airflow flowing towards the upper air outlet section will not be dispersed by the soft wind plate, so it can still maintain a high flow velocity. After being guided by the air guide plate, a coanda airflow is formed, and the coanda airflow mixes with the indoor air during the transportation process, which reduces the wind speed of the airflow reaching a distance and makes the wind feel soft. Furthermore, the portion of the airflow near the Coanda airflow will be transported further away due to the Bernoulli effect, filling the middle part of the room with coolness and providing a gentle breeze. This delivers coolness to the near, middle, and far parts of the indoor environment, improving the temperature regulation effect of the air conditioner in its soft wind mode.

It should be understood that those skilled in the art will recognize that this application can be made without using these specific details.

Therefore, this application is not intended to be limited to the embodiments shown, but is consistent with the broadest scope of the principles and features disclosed in this application.

[0056] Existing air conditioners with gentle breeze function generally cover the entire air outlet with a gentle breeze panel. While this design can provide a relatively gentle breeze near the air outlet, the dispersed airflow and insufficient power make it difficult to effectively deliver cooling to distant spaces, resulting in poor temperature reduction at distant locations.

[0057] In this regard, this application provides an indoor air conditioning unit 100 and an air conditioner. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figures 1 to 5 And refer to the following: Figure 2 The indoor unit 100 of the air conditioner has a gentle breeze mode. The indoor unit 100 includes a housing 10, an air guide plate 20, and a gentle breeze plate 30. An air duct 11 is formed inside the housing 10, and an air outlet 12 communicating with the air duct 11 is opened on the outer surface of the housing 10. The air guide plate 20 is movably installed at the air outlet 12. The air guide plate 20 has an open position in its active stroke. When the air guide plate 20 is in the open position, the air guide plate 20 divides the air outlet 12 into an upper air outlet section and a lower air outlet section in the vertical direction. The gentle breeze plate 30 is movably installed inside the air duct 11. When the indoor unit 100 of the air conditioner is in the gentle breeze mode, the air guide plate 20 is in the open position, and the gentle breeze plate 30 is set corresponding to the lower air outlet section to soften the airflow flowing towards the lower air outlet section.

[0058] In this embodiment, by placing the air guide plate 20 in the middle of the air outlet 12, the air outlet 12 can be divided into an upper air outlet section and a lower air outlet section. When the indoor unit 100 of the air conditioner is in the soft wind mode, the air guide plate 20 is in the open position, that is, the air guide plate 20 divides the air outlet 12 into an upper air outlet section and a lower air outlet section in the vertical direction. Correspondingly, at this time, the soft wind plate 30 is set to the lower air outlet section to soften the airflow flowing towards the lower air outlet section. That is, the airflow flowing out of the lower air outlet section is a soft wind, thereby avoiding excessive wind speed when blowing towards the human body and causing discomfort. It can fill the room with cooling. The airflow flowing towards the upper air outlet section will not be dispersed by the soft wind plate 30, so it can still maintain a high flow speed. After being guided by the air guide plate 20, a coanda airflow is formed. The coanda airflow mixes with the indoor air during the transportation process, which reduces the wind speed of the airflow reaching a distance and makes the wind feel soft. Furthermore, the portion of the airflow near the Coanda airflow will be transported further away due to the Bernoulli effect, filling the middle part of the room with coolness and providing a gentle breeze. This delivers coolness to the near, middle, and far parts of the indoor environment, improving the temperature regulation effect of the air conditioner in its soft wind mode.

[0059] It should be noted that the specific method by which the softening plate 30 softens the airflow flowing towards the downwind section is not limited. It can be in the form of a softening hole 31 or a softening groove, etc. There is no limitation here. Specifically, softening refers to the process of dispersing, buffering, and disturbing the airflow through special air guiding structures or technologies, so that the blown air becomes gentle, uniform and relatively low in speed, reducing the discomfort caused by strong winds blowing directly.

[0060] The specific form of the movable installation of the air guide plate 20 is not limited. It can be installed by rotation, or it can be rotated and moved back and forth, etc. It is not limited here. The specific form of the movable installation of the soft wind plate 30 is not limited. It can be in the form of translation or rotation. In one embodiment, the soft wind plate 30 is movable by rotating around the rotating axis 32.

[0061] Furthermore, it should be emphasized that the existing air guide plate 20 is generally located below the air outlet 12. The soft wind baffle easily blows cold air to the air guide plate 20 located at the lower end of the air outlet 12. The inner surface of the air guide plate 20 is blown by cold air, while the outer surface is in contact with hot air. The large temperature difference between the inside and outside causes condensation to occur frequently. In other words, the air guide plate 20 is prone to dripping water, resulting in a poor user experience.

[0062] In this application, when the air guide plate 20 is in the open position, it is located in the middle of the air outlet 12. That is, the upper and lower sides of the air guide plate 20 are blown by cold air, so that the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the air guide plate 20 is small and condensation will not occur.

[0063] Furthermore, the air guide plate 20 can be a straight plate or a curved plate, which is not limited here. In some embodiments, when the air guide plate 20 is in the open position, the air guide plate 20 is inclined upward in the direction outward from the air outlet 12. With this arrangement, the airflow flowing out of the upper air outlet section can move upward a certain distance under the action of the air guide plate 20 and be guided to the ceiling. The coanda airflow is formed by utilizing the wall adhesion effect of the ceiling on the airflow.

[0064] Furthermore, when the air guide plate 20 is in the open position, it can be located inside or outside the air duct 11. When it is located outside the air duct 11, it can send the airflow from the upper air outlet section to a greater distance. Therefore, in some embodiments, when the air guide plate 20 is in the open position, the air guide plate 20 extends at least partially outside the air duct 11. By extending the air guide plate 20 outside the air duct 11, the air delivery distance of the air guide plate 20 can be effectively increased, and more airflow can be guided to the ceiling.

[0065] It should be emphasized that the air guide plate 20 extends at least partially outside the air duct 11. It can be that the air guide plate 20 extends only partially outside the air duct 11 or it can extend completely outside the air duct 11. There is no limitation here. In some embodiments, the air guide plate 20 extends completely outside the air duct 11. Correspondingly, in this case, the airflow from the upwind section is delivered a farther distance.

[0066] The air guide plate 20 may be always located outside the air duct 11, or it may have multiple locations; this is not limited here. Please refer to the relevant documentation for some embodiments. Figures 1 to 5 The air guide plate 20 also has a retracted position during its active stroke. When the air guide plate 20 is in the retracted position, the air guide plate 20 covers the air outlet 12. The indoor unit 100 of the air conditioner also includes a drive device 40, which is used to drive the air guide plate 20 to move between the open position and the retracted position.

[0067] In this embodiment, by providing the driving device 40, the air guide plate 20 can be driven to move between the open position and the retracted position. When the air guide plate 20 is in the open position, it can divide the air outlet 12 into the upper air outlet section and the lower air outlet section. When the indoor unit 100 of the air conditioner is not needed, the air guide plate 20 can be driven to the retracted position by the driving device 40, so that the air guide plate 20 covers the air outlet 12 to prevent dust from entering the air duct 11 from the air outlet 12.

[0068] It should be emphasized that the specific implementation of the drive device 40 is not limited. It can be in the form of a drive motor plus a connecting rod 431, or in the form of a drive cylinder plus a transmission mechanism, etc., and is not limited here.

[0069] In some embodiments, please refer to the following: Figures 6 to 9 The driving device 40 includes a mounting base 41, a slider 42, and a driving component 43. The mounting base 41 is fixedly installed on the housing 10, and a guide rail 411 is provided on the mounting base 41. The guide rail 411 extends inward and outward along the air duct 11. The slider 42 is slidably installed on the guide rail 411 and is connected to the air guide plate 20. The driving component 43 is used to drive the slider 42 to slide on the guide rail 411, so that the air guide plate 20 can move between the open position and the retracted position.

[0070] In the scheme of this embodiment, the driving member 43 drives the slider 42 to slide on the guide rail 411. Since the guide rail 411 extends inward and outward along the air duct 11, when the slider 42 moves, it can carry the air guide plate 20 to move inward and outward along the air duct 11, thereby realizing the extension and retraction of the air guide plate 20.

[0071] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the guide rail 411 is arc-shaped, so that the air guide plate 20 can rotate to a certain extent as the slider 42 moves along the guide rail 411, thereby covering the air outlet 12 when in the retracted position, and being in a nearly horizontal and slightly upturned state when the air guide plate 20 is in the open position.

[0072] It should be noted that the specific implementation of the driving component 43 is not limited. It can be in the form of a driving cylinder, or in the form of a driving motor plus connecting rod 431, etc. There are no limitations here. Please refer to the relevant documentation for details. Figures 6 to 9 In this embodiment, the driving component 43 includes a driving motor and a connecting rod 431. The rotation of the motor drives the connecting rod 431 to swing around a fixed point. Since the guide rail 411 is arc-shaped, a sliding groove 432 is also provided on the connecting rod 431. A protrusion is provided on the slider 42. The protrusion is movably installed in the sliding groove 432, so that during the swinging of the connecting rod 431, the protrusion can move along the extension direction of the sliding groove 432.

[0073] The connection method between the slider 42 and the air guide plate 20 is not limited; it can be either movable or fixed. When it is movable, the air guide plate 20 can change a larger angle and achieve more modes. When it is fixed, the air guide plate 20 has better air guiding stability. Therefore, in one embodiment, the air guide plate 20 and the slider 42 are fixedly installed.

[0074] For details, please refer to Figure 9 The slider 42 has a prismatic hole, and the air guide plate 20 has a prismatic mounting shaft. The fixed installation between the two is achieved by the cooperation of the prismatic mounting shaft and the prismatic hole. Of course, in other embodiments, snap-fit, adhesive, screw connection, etc. can also be used, which is not limited here.

[0075] Furthermore, the specific installation method of the airflow softener 30 is not limited. It can be equipped with rotating shafts 32 at both ends, or a rotating shaft 32 can be directly installed within the air duct 11, and the airflow softener 30 can be correspondingly installed on the rotating shaft 32, allowing the airflow softener 30 to rotate around the rotating shaft 32 at a fixed point. For details, please refer to [link / reference needed]. Figure 1 In some embodiments, a rotating shaft 32 is provided within the air duct 11, and the flexible air plate 30 is correspondingly mounted on the rotating shaft 32, allowing the flexible air plate 30 to rotate around a fixed point around the rotating shaft 32. This rotation can be either the flexible air plate 30 and the rotating shaft 32 rotating together, or the flexible air plate 30 rotating while the rotating shaft 32 remains stationary; no limitation is made here. Correspondingly, the rotation of the flexible air plate 30 allows it to be switched between different positions.

[0076] Of course, in some embodiments, the soft wind plate 30 may also have a comb-tooth soft wind section, so that the direction of the airflow passing through the soft wind plate 30 can be changed by the comb-tooth soft wind section, so that the airflows with different directions cancel each other out and disperse the airflow to form a soft wind.

[0077] It should be noted that the soft air hole 31 and the comb tooth soft air part can be provided selectively, or both can be provided, and no limitation is made here.

[0078] Please see Figures 10 to 15 In some embodiments, the soft wind plate 30 has a first plate 33 and a second plate 34 disposed opposite to each other in its thickness direction, and a plurality of connecting plates 37 connecting the first plate 33 and the second plate 34; the first plate 33 and the second plate 34 are spaced apart to define a buffer cavity 35 together with the plurality of connecting plates 37; the first plate 33 is provided with a plurality of air inlets 36 communicating with the buffer cavity 35, and the second plate 34 is provided with a soft wind structure communicating with the buffer cavity 35.

[0079] In the scheme of this embodiment, when the airflow enters the buffer cavity 35 from the air inlet 36, since the diameter of the air inlet 36 is smaller than the diameter of the buffer cavity 35, the airflow will move from the small space to the large space, thereby spreading in all directions and reducing the airflow velocity. Then, it flows out from the buffer cavity 35 through the soft wind structure. Therefore, the air inlet 36 can play the role of the first layer of soft wind, the buffer cavity 35 can play the role of the second layer of soft wind, and the soft wind structure plays the role of the third layer of soft wind. Thus, it can pass through the role of multiple soft winds, and the soft wind effect is better.

[0080] Specifically, the specific implementation of the soft wind structure is not limited. The soft wind structure may include a soft wind hole 31. By setting the soft wind hole 31, the airflow will be dispersed when it passes through the soft wind hole 31, thereby reducing the flow rate and forming a soft wind.

[0081] Of course, in some embodiments, the soft wind structure may also include a comb-tooth soft wind section, which can change the direction of the airflow passing through the soft wind plate 30, allowing airflows with different directions to cancel each other out and disperse the airflow, thereby forming a soft wind.

[0082] It should be noted that the soft air hole 31 and the comb tooth soft air part can be provided selectively, or both can be provided, and no limitation is made here.

[0083] In some embodiments, the soft wind structure includes a soft wind hole 31, the diameter of which is smaller than the diameter of the air inlet hole 36. With this configuration, in actual use, the larger diameter of the air inlet hole 36 allows more airflow to enter the buffer chamber 35, while the smaller diameter of the soft wind hole 31 effectively enhances the soft wind effect.

[0084] In addition, please refer to the following: Figure 15 In some embodiments, the soft wind structure includes a plurality of soft wind holes 31, at least some of which are inclined toward the center of the first plate 33. This arrangement allows the airflow to be concentrated toward the center of the first plate 33, thus softening the wind while forming precise air delivery.

[0085] Of course, in some embodiments, please refer to the following carefully. Figure 14 The soft wind structure includes a plurality of soft wind holes 31, at least some of which are inclined toward the edge of the first plate 33. With this arrangement, the airflow after being softened by the soft wind structure will spread in all directions, resulting in a larger air delivery area.

[0086] The indoor unit 100 of the air conditioner may only have a gentle breeze mode; of course, please refer to [the relevant documentation]. Figure 3 In some embodiments, the indoor unit 100 of the air conditioner also has a cooling mode, and the wind deflector 30 also has a clearance position in its travel stroke. When the wind deflector 30 is in the clearance position, the wind deflector 30 is used to avoid the airflow flowing toward the air outlet 12. In the cooling mode, the air guide plate 20 is in the open position, and the wind deflector 30 is in the clearance position.

[0087] In this embodiment, when the indoor unit 100 of the air conditioner is in cooling mode, the soft wind plate 30 is in the avoidance position, so that the airflow flowing to the downwind section is smoothly delivered to the near and middle parts of the room, while the air guide plate 20 is in the open position, so that the airflow flowing to the upwind section can pass through the air guide plate 20 to form a coanda airflow and be delivered to the far part of the room, so that the room can be cooled down quickly.

[0088] Of course, please see Figure 4 In some embodiments, the indoor unit 100 of the air conditioner also has a heating mode. In the heating mode, the air guide plate 20 is in the open position, and the soft air plate 30 is arranged corresponding to the upper air vent section to guide the airflow to the lower air vent section.

[0089] In this embodiment, when the indoor unit 100 of the air conditioner is in heating mode, the air guide plate 20 is in the open position, thereby dividing the air outlet 12 into an upper air outlet section and a lower air outlet section. At this time, the soft air plate 30 rotates to the position corresponding to the upper air outlet section, so as to guide the airflow flowing to the upper air outlet section to the lower air outlet section, thereby guiding most of the airflow to the lower side of the air guide plate 20 and flowing out from the lower air outlet section. This prevents the hot airflow from being guided to the upper part of the room by the air guide plate 20. After guiding most of the hot airflow to the lower part of the room, due to the density difference between hot and cold air, the hot air rises again to warm the upper part of the room, so that the room temperature rises evenly.

[0090] Of course, please see Figure 5 In some embodiments, the indoor unit 100 of the air conditioner also has a long-distance air supply mode. In the long-distance air supply mode, the air guide plate 20 is in the open position, and the soft wind plate 30 is located in the downwind section and extends toward the air guide plate 20.

[0091] In this embodiment, when the indoor unit 100 of the air conditioner is in the long-distance air supply mode, the soft wind plate 30 is located in the downwind section and extends toward the air guide plate 20, thereby guiding most of the airflow flowing to the downwind section to the air guide plate 20, forming a strong coanda airflow with the airflow on the upper side of the air guide plate 20, so that the air conditioner's cold air can be blown all the way to the far side of the room, providing long-distance air supply for a large space.

[0092] It should be emphasized that the soft air plate 30 has different working positions in different modes, and the switching of the working position of the soft air plate 30 can be achieved by the corresponding control device of the air conditioner. The specific implementation form of the control device is not limited. It can be in the form of a microcontroller or a control circuit, etc., and is not limited here.

[0093] The air guide plate 20 can be in the same position or in different positions under different working modes, thereby adjusting the proportional relationship between the upwind section and the downwind section, etc., which are not limited here.

[0094] This utility model also proposes an air conditioner, which includes an indoor unit 100. The specific structure of the indoor unit 100 is as described in the above embodiments. Since this air conditioner adopts all the technical solutions of all the above embodiments, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought about by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be described in detail here.
