[0028] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0029] The following is a reference appendix. Figures 1 to 5 This invention describes an air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0030] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the air conditioner of this utility model embodiment includes: a housing 1, a heat exchanger 2, a main fan 31, and a side fan 32.

[0031] The lower side of the housing 1 is provided with an air inlet 11, the front side of the housing 1 is provided with a front air outlet 12, and the housing 1 is provided with a side air outlet 13 on at least one side along its left and right directions. The heat exchanger 2 is installed inside the housing 1. The main fan 31 and the side fan 32 are both located inside the housing 1. The air outlet of the main fan 31 is directed towards the front air outlet 12, and the air outlet of the side fan 32 is directed towards both the side air outlet 13 and the front air outlet 12.

[0032] According to the embodiments of the present invention, the air conditioner can simultaneously discharge air through the front air outlet 12 and the side air outlet 13, which helps to increase the air supply area and improve temperature regulation efficiency. Furthermore, since the housing 1 contains a main fan 31 and a side fan 32, with the main fan 31 discharging air towards the front air outlet 12 and the side fan 32 discharging air towards both the side air outlet 13 and the front air outlet 12, most of the airflow can be discharged through the front air outlet 12, while a small portion can be discharged through the side air outlet 13. This improves the air supply effect and solves the problem of rapid downward sinking of cold air under the cooling module, allowing the heat exchange airflow to evenly cover the entire room and ensure uniform temperature throughout the room. On the other hand, compared to a bottom-discharge design, the air conditioner of the present invention avoids the problem of heat exchange airflow directly blowing on the user, thus improving the user experience.

[0033] Therefore, the air conditioner of the embodiment of the utility model has better air supply effect, which is beneficial to improve the flowability of airflow and improve user experience.

[0034] It should be noted that the up-down, front-back and left-right directions of the shell 1 are consistent with the up-down, front-back and left-right directions of the air conditioner after installation.

[0035] For example, only the left side of the shell 1 is provided with the side air outlet 13. Alternatively, only the right side of the shell 1 is provided with the side air outlet 13.

[0036] For another example, the left side and the right side of the shell 1 are both provided with the side air outlet 13, and correspondingly, the side fan 32 is two, and the two side fans 32 correspond to the two side air outlets 13 one by one.

[0037] In the example of the utility model, as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the side air outlet 13 is two, the two side air outlets 13 are arranged on the left and right sides of the shell 1 respectively, the side fan 32 is two, the two side fans 32 correspond to the two side air outlets 13 one by one, and the two side fans 32 both blow air towards the side air outlet 13 and the front air outlet 12. Therefore, the air conditioner blows air from three sides, which can significantly increase the air supply area of the air conditioner and more quickly adjust the indoor temperature.

[0038] It can be understood that the two side fans 32 can both blow a part of the heat exchange airflow through the front air outlet 12, thereby increasing the flow rate of the airflow blown out of the front air outlet 12, prolonging the air supply distance of the front air outlet 12 of the air conditioner, and ensuring that the air conditioner can blow air laterally, thereby improving the air outlet effect of the air conditioner.

[0039] Alternatively, the main fan 31 and the side fan 32 are both centrifugal fans. It can be understood that the centrifugal fan has the characteristics of high static pressure. Compared with the scheme that the main fan 31 and the side fan 32 are tubular fans, the centrifugal fan can increase the air supply distance of the air conditioner and effectively prevent the problem of insufficient refrigeration caused by the rapid sinking of cold air in the refrigeration mode.

[0040] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 3 to 5 , the air conditioner further comprises a partition plate 5, the partition plate 5 is arranged in the shell 1 and located between the main fan 31 and the side fan 32, and the air inlet end of the main fan 31 and the air inlet end of the side fan 32 are arranged opposite to the partition plate 5. It can be understood that the air inlet end of the centrifugal fan is arranged on one side of the axial direction, and since the partition plate 5 is arranged between the main fan 31 and the side fan 32, the "wind stealing" phenomenon caused by the air inlet ends of the main fan 31 and the side fan 32 approaching each other can be effectively prevented, which is beneficial to improve the air inlet amount.

[0041] In other words, the partition plate 5 can separate the air inlet end of the main air fan 31 and the air inlet end of the side air fan 32, so as to reduce the air flow disturbance when the main air fan 31 and the side air fan 32 suck air, and facilitate to increase the air inlet amount of the main air fan 31 and the side air fan 32, and improve the heat exchange efficiency of the air conditioner.

[0042] Optionally, as shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4 The front end of the partition plate 5 is spaced apart from the front wall surface of the shell 1 (i.e. the front panel 14 of the shell), so as to avoid that the partition plate 5 blocks the air flow after heat exchange from flowing in the shell 1, and facilitate to improve the temperature consistency of the air flow blown out by the front air outlet 12 and the side air outlet 13, and improve the user experience.

[0043] In some embodiments, the air outlet end of the main air fan 31 is opposite to and spaced apart from the front air outlet 12, and the air outlet end of the side air fan 32 is opposite to and spaced apart from the front air outlet 12 and the side air outlet 13. In other words, the air outlet end of the main air fan 31 is spaced apart from the front air outlet 12 by a certain distance, and the side air fan 32 is spaced apart from the side air outlet 13 by a certain distance. Therefore, the air flow blown out by the main air fan 31 and the side air fan 32 can be mixed, and then blown out by the front air outlet 12 and the side air outlet 13, so as to ensure the temperature consistency of the air flow blown out by the front air outlet 12 and the side air outlet 13, and improve the user experience.

[0044] Optionally, the end surface of the air outlet end of the side air fan 32 has an included angle α with the left-right direction of the shell 1, where 30°≤α≤60°. For example, α can be 30°, 33°, 40°, 45°, 50°, 55° or 60°.

[0045] The inventors of the present application have found through experimental research that when α is too small (α is less than 30°), the air supply amount of the side air outlet 13 is small, the heat exchange air flow is not easy to uniformly cover the entire room, and the overall air supply effect of the air conditioner is reduced. When α is too large (α is greater than 60°), the air supply amount of the left and right edges of the front air outlet 12 is small, and then the air supply speed and the air supply amount of the front air outlet 12 are inconsistent, which affects the user experience and the air supply effect is poor.

[0046] Therefore, the air conditioner of the embodiments of the present application can effectively improve the uniform consistency of air supply of the air conditioner by setting α to the above parameters, significantly increase the air supply area of the air conditioner, and more quickly adjust the indoor temperature.

[0047] Optionally, as shown in Figure 4As shown in the drawings, the distance between the rear edge of the side air outlet 13 and the front air outlet 12 in the front-rear direction of the shell 1 is X1, the shortest distance between the air outlet end of the side air blower 32 and the front air outlet 12 is X2, and the distance between the air outlet end of the main air blower 31 and the front air outlet 12 is X3, wherein X3 < X2 < X1. The air conditioner of the embodiment of the present application satisfies the above relationship of X1, X2 and X3 to optimize the positions of the main air blower 31 and the side air blower 32, thereby ensuring that the left and right two side air outlets 13 can efficiently blow air sideways and the front air outlet 12 can efficiently blow air forward, which is conducive to improving the consistency of the air outlet temperature and the air outlet speed of the three-side air outlet of the air conditioner.

[0048] Further, as shown in the drawings, Figure 4 the shortest distance between the air outlet end of the side air blower 32 and the side air outlet 13 is X4, and X4 > 0, that is, the side air blower 32 is spaced apart from the side wall of the shell 1 along the left-right direction, and the side air blower 32 does not interfere with the partition plate 5, thereby improving the air outlet effect of the side air outlet 13.

[0049] For example, 0.2X1 ≤ X2 ≤ 0.4X1 and 0.1X1 ≤ X3 ≤ 0.3X1. In other words, X2 is 20%-40% of X1, and X3 is 10%-30% of X1. For example, X2 is 20%, 30% or 40% of X1, and X3 is 10%, 20% or 30% of X1.

[0050] The air conditioner of the embodiment of the present application satisfies the above relationship of X1, X2 and X3 to optimize the positions of the main air blower 31 and the side air blower 32, thereby ensuring that the left and right two side air outlets 13 can efficiently blow air sideways and the front air outlet 12 can efficiently blow air forward, which is conducive to improving the consistency of the air outlet temperature and the air outlet speed of the three-side air outlet of the air conditioner.

[0051] In some embodiments, as shown in the drawings, Figure 3 the main air blower 31 and the side air blower 32 are located at the same horizontal height, thereby making the arrangement of the components in the shell 1 more compact and the air volume and temperature of the air supply more uniform.

[0052] Optionally, as shown in the drawings, Figure 1 and Figure 2 the air conditioner further comprises a front air guide plate 41 and a side air guide plate 42, the front air guide plate 41 is rotatably installed at the front air outlet 12, and the side air guide plate 42 is rotatably installed at the side air outlet 13. It can be understood that the front air guide plate 41 can adjust the air direction of the front air outlet 12, and the side air guide plate 42 can adjust the air direction of the side air outlet 13, thereby increasing the air supply range of the air conditioner and meeting the use requirements of different users, which is conducive to improving the user experience.

[0053] In some embodiments, as shown in the drawings, Figure 1As shown, the air inlet 11 is arranged on the lower wall of the shell 1, and the front air outlet 12 is arranged on the front panel 14 of the shell 1 and adjacent to the upper side of the shell 1, that is, the air conditioner adopts the form of lower air inlet and upper air outlet, so that the air supply effect of the air conditioner can be improved.

[0054] As shown in the drawings, Figure 3 The heat exchanger 2 is arranged opposite to the air inlet 11. For example, the heat exchanger 2 can be V-shaped, and the tip of the V-shaped heat exchanger 2 faces the air inlet 11. For another example, the heat exchanger 2 can be straight plate-shaped, and the straight plate-shaped heat exchanger 2 is arranged horizontally or obliquely in the shell 1.

[0055] Specifically, as shown in the drawings, Figure 3 The air conditioner further comprises a water collecting tray 6 arranged in the shell 1 and located at the lower edge of the heat exchanger 2 to collect the condensed water dripping from the wall surface of the heat exchanger 2.
