[0060] The embodiments of the present application are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the drawings. The embodiments described below by reference to the drawings are exemplary and are intended to explain the present application, and cannot be understood as a limitation of the present application.

[0061] As shown in the drawings, Figure 1 The air guide mechanism of the embodiments of the present application includes an air outlet channel 1, a sliding block 2 and an air guide plate 3.

[0062] For example, as shown in the drawings, Figure 1 The air outlet channel 1 can be a tubular structure, and the port of the air outlet channel 1 can be arranged towards the front side. In use, the airflow can flow along the air outlet channel 1 and eventually flow out of the port of the air outlet channel 1, thereby meeting the use needs of supplying cold or hot air outward.

[0063] The sliding block 2 is arranged in the air outlet channel 1 and is used to separate the airflow flowing out of the air outlet channel 1, and the sliding block 2 is movable along the length direction of the air outlet channel 1 to adjust the size of the separated airflow. For example, as shown in the drawings, Figure 1 The port of the air outlet channel 1 can be rectangular, the length direction of the air outlet channel 1 can be the left-right direction, the width direction of the air outlet channel 1 can be the up-down direction, the sliding block 2 can be generally rectangular plate-shaped structure and can extend along the up-down direction, and the size of the sliding block 2 in the up-down direction can be generally consistent with the size of the port, thereby meeting the use needs of separating the port.

[0064] The sliding block 2 can be provided with only one, at this time the sliding block 2 can divide the port into two independent openings in the left-right direction, and in use, the sliding block 2 can reciprocate along the left-right direction, for example, when the sliding block 2 moves to the left, the opening on the left side will become smaller, and the opening on the right side will become larger. When the sliding block 2 moves to the right, the opening on the right side will become smaller, and the opening on the left side will become larger. Thus, the use needs of adjusting the size of the opening in use are met, and the use needs of adjusting the size of the airflow flowing through different openings are met.

[0065] The air deflector 3 is arranged in the air outlet channel 1 and is swingable relative to the air outlet channel 1, the swing axis of the air deflector 3 extends along the length direction, and the air deflector 3 is used for adjusting the outlet direction of the air flow.

[0066] For example, as shown in Figure 1 The air deflector 3 can be a rectangular plate, the air deflector 3 can extend along the left-right direction, the left side of the air deflector 3 can be pivotally assembled with the left channel wall of the air outlet channel 1, and the right side of the air deflector 3 can be pivotally assembled with the right channel wall of the air outlet channel 1. In use, the air deflector 3 can be freely swung in the up-down direction, so as to meet the use requirement of adjusting the outlet direction of the air flow in the up-down direction.

[0067] It should be noted that the slider 2 can be provided with a special driving mechanism, and the driving mechanism can be a linear drive such as an electric push rod, which can be connected with the slider 2 and can drive the slider 2 to move reciprocatingly in the left-right direction.

[0068] The air deflector mechanism of the embodiment of the utility model, in use, can realize the adjustment of the air flow in the up-down direction through the swing of the air deflector 3, and can realize the separation of the air flow and the adjustment of the size of the air flow flowing out of each opening through the sliding of the slider 2. This adjustment mode of the structure of the air deflector 3 and the slider 2 enriches the outlet form of the air flow, so as to fully meet the use requirement of people for various air outlet forms.

[0069] In some embodiments, the slider 2 is provided in plurality, and the plurality of sliders 2 are arranged in sequence along the length direction and are movable relative to the air outlet channel 1. For example, as shown in Figure 1 The slider 2 can be provided in two, and the two sliders 2 can be arranged in interval in the left-right direction. In other embodiments, the slider 2 can also be provided in three, four or the like, so as to increase the number of divisions of the above-mentioned openings and further improve the richness of the air flow outlet mode.

[0070] The plurality of sliders 2 are synchronously movable along the length direction. For example, as shown in Figure 2 The above-mentioned two sliders 2 can form an integral whole, and in use, the two sliders 2 can synchronously move leftward or rightward, the air flow can be divided into two air flows under the action of the two sliders 2, and the size of the two air flows can be adjusted through the sliding of the two sliders 2.

[0071] In other embodiments, each slider 2 is individually movable along the length direction. For example, as shown in Figure 3As shown, each slider 2 can be driven by an independent driving mechanism. In use, the left slider 2 can move to the left, and the right slider 2 can move to the right. At this time, the airflow can be divided into three streams by the two sliders 2, and the size of each stream can be adjusted individually by the independent movement of the two sliders 2, thereby enriching the form of the airflow.

[0072] In some embodiments, the movement adjustment of the slider 2 and the swing adjustment of the air guide plate 3 are not synchronized, that is, the movement adjustment of the slider 2 and the swing adjustment of the air guide plate 3 cannot be performed simultaneously, that is, when the slider 2 is performing movement adjustment, the air guide plate 3 cannot perform swing adjustment, and when the air guide plate 3 is performing swing adjustment, the slider 2 cannot perform movement adjustment.

[0073] In this way, the adjustment of the slider 2 and the adjustment of the air guide plate 3 can be relatively independent, which is beneficial to simplify the overall structure arrangement, and also avoids the situation that the slider 2 or the air guide plate 3 is easily damaged due to the complexity of adjustment.

[0074] In some embodiments, the air guide mechanism has a first mode and a second mode.

[0075] In the first mode, the slider 2 is reciprocally movable along the length, and the slider 2 interferes with the air guide plate 3 to limit the swing of the air guide plate 3. For example, as shown in Figures 4 to 6 , the slider 2 can reciprocally move along the left-right direction, and in the process of movement, the slider 2 can be slidingly assembled with the air guide plate 3. In this way, while meeting the use requirement of the left-right sliding of the slider 2, the swing of the air guide plate 3 can be limited by the sliding assembly of the slider 2 and the air guide plate 3, thereby meeting the use requirement of adjusting only the size of each airflow.

[0076] In the second mode, the slider 2 releases the interference with the air guide plate 3, and the air guide plate 3 can be swing adjusted. For example, as shown in Figure 7 and Figure 8 At this time, the slider 2 can be moved to the outside of the end of the air guide plate 3, that is, the slider 2 and the air guide plate 3 can be arranged in a staggered manner in the left-right direction, so as to release the sliding assembly of the slider 2 and the air guide plate 3, and the air guide plate 3 can freely swing in the up-down direction, thereby meeting the use requirement of adjusting the air outlet direction.

[0077] In some embodiments, the slider 2 is provided with a groove 21. For example, as shown in Figure 1 , the groove 21 can be a rectangular groove, and the groove 21 can be arranged on the front side of the slider 2 and can penetrate through the slider 2 along the left-right direction.

[0078] In the first mode, the air guide plate 3 is fitted in the groove 21, the slider 2 can slide relative to the air guide plate 3, and the air guide plate 3 is limited to swing by the abutment with the groove wall of the groove 21. For example, as shown in Figure 4 andFigure 5 As shown, when switched to the first mode, the deflector 3 can be horizontally arranged, at this time, in the left-right direction, the deflector 3 can be arranged opposite to the groove 21 on the slider 2, so that the deflector 3 can be inserted into the groove 21 and the sliding assembly of the deflector 3 and the slider 2 is realized, thereby realizing the constraint of the deflector 3 while meeting the left-right sliding of the slider 2, and realizing the limitation of the swing of the deflector 3.

[0079] In the second mode, the slider 2 moves to the outside of the end of the deflector 3 to move the deflector 3 out of the groove 21. For example, as shown in Figure 7 and Figure 8 , the slider 2 can move to the left end or the right end of the deflector 3, at this time, the deflector 3 and the slider 2 are separated in the left-right direction, thereby playing a role of disassembling the slider 2 and the deflector 3 sliding assembly, so that the deflector 3 can freely swing in the up-down direction.

[0080] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 4 , the slider 2 has two, and the two sliders 2 can be symmetrically arranged in the left-right direction.

[0081] In the first mode, the deflector 3 is fitted in the grooves 21 of the two sliders 2, and both of the two sliders 2 are slidable relative to the deflector 3. For example, as shown in Figures 4 to 6 , the deflector 3 is inserted into the grooves 21 of the two sliders 2 at the same time, and the two sliders 2 can freely slide relative to the deflector 3 in the left-right direction.

[0082] In the second mode, one slider 2 moves to the outside of one end of the deflector 3, and the other slider 2 moves to the outside of the other end of the deflector 3. For example, as shown in Figure 7 and Figure 8 , when switched to the second mode, one slider 2 can move to the outside of the left end of the deflector 3, and the other slider 2 can move to the outside of the right end of the deflector 3, thereby realizing the utilization of the space on both sides of the deflector 3, and improving the space utilization.

[0083] In some embodiments, the slider 2 is provided with a plane 22 and an inclined surface 23 arranged opposite in the length direction, and the air outlet channel 1 is provided with two inclined walls 11 arranged opposite in the length direction, and the distance between the two inclined walls 11 gradually increases along the flow direction of the airflow.

[0084] For example, as shown in Figure 1 , the horizontal cross section of the slider 2 can be wedge-shaped, taking the left slider 2 as an example, the plane 22 can be the right surface of the slider 2, and the inclined surface 23 can be the left surface of the slider 2. The plane 22 and the inclined surface 23 can be vertical surfaces, and the plane 22 can be perpendicular to the left-right direction, and the inclined surface 23 can form an acute angle with the left-right direction.

[0085] In the first mode, the planes 22 of the two sliders 2 can be attached, for example, as shown in Figure 6 When switched to the first mode, the planes 22 of the two sliders 2 are towards each other and can be attached together, at this time, the two sliders 2 can form a structure similar to a triangular prism, thereby facilitating the realization of the shunt.

[0086] In the second mode, the inclined surface 23 of each slider 2 is attached to an inclined wall 11, respectively. For example, as shown in Figure 8 The inclined wall 11 can be the left or right channel wall of the air outlet channel 1, and the distance between the two inclined walls 11 can gradually increase along the direction from back to front, so that a part of the air outlet channel 1 can form a structure of the diffuser, thereby increasing the air pressure of the outflowing air flow. When switched to the second mode, the inclined surface 23 of the left slider 2 can be attached to the left inclined wall 11, and the inclined surface 23 of the right slider 2 can be attached to the right inclined wall 11, thereby facilitating the fixing effect of the slider 2.

[0087] In some embodiments, a plurality of air deflectors 3 are provided, and the plurality of air deflectors 3 are arranged in the width direction of the air outlet channel 1, and the slider 2 is provided with a plurality of grooves 21, and the plurality of grooves 21 are arranged in the width direction, and in the first mode, the plurality of air deflectors 3 are respectively matched in the plurality of grooves 21.

[0088] For example, as shown in Figure 1 The air deflector 3 can be provided with two, and the two air deflectors 3 can be arranged in the up-down direction, and each slider 2 can be provided with two grooves 21, and the two air deflectors 3 are respectively matched in the two grooves 21. In other embodiments, the air deflector 3 can also be provided with three, four or the like, at this time, the slider 2 can also be provided with three, four or the like corresponding number of grooves 21, thereby enhancing the limiting and restraining effect of the air deflector 3.

[0089] In some embodiments, the air deflector mechanism includes a heating mode and a cooling mode, wherein the heating mode can be specifically the heating mode of the air conditioner, and the cooling mode can be the cooling mode of the air conditioner.

[0090] In the cooling mode, the air deflector 3 is arranged to be inclined upward to make the air flow out of the air outlet channel 1 flow upwardly. For example, as shown in Figure 9 Fig. (a) in the figure, the air deflector 3 can be adjusted to an inclined upward position, at this time, the air flow discharged through the air outlet channel 1 will also flow upwardly, thereby making the air flow entering the room environment run against the room top wall, and the air flow will be mixed with the indoor air during the running process, and finally form a layer of cold air layer on the room top, and then the cold air layer will slowly descend, thereby making the room uniformly cooled from top to bottom.

[0091] In the heating mode, the air deflector 3 is arranged to be inclined downward to make the air flow of the air outlet 411 flow downwardly. For example, as shown in Fig. (b) of Figure 9 Fig. (b) of the drawings, the air deflector 3 can be adjusted to be swung to the inclined downward position, at which time the air flow discharged through the air outlet passage 1 flows downwardly, so that the hot air flow can directly blow to the ground and form a warm foot wind, thereby improving the heating effect.

[0092] The air conditioner of the utility model embodiment is described below.

[0093] The air conditioner of the utility model embodiment comprises an air deflector mechanism, which can be the air deflector mechanism described in any of the above embodiments. The air conditioner can be an air conditioner indoor unit, specifically a wall-mounted indoor unit, a stand-type indoor unit, etc.

[0094] In some embodiments, the air conditioner comprises a housing 4, a heat exchanger 5 and a centrifugal fan 6.

[0095] The housing 4 comprises a panel 41 and a side plate 42, the side plate 42 is arranged at the end of the length direction of the housing 4, the side plate 42 is provided with a side air inlet 421, the side air inlet 421 is arranged at the bottom of the side plate 42 and adjacent to the panel 41, the panel 41 is provided with an air outlet 411, the air outlet 411 is adjacent to the top side of the panel 41.

[0096] For example, as shown in Fig. (a) of Figure 10 The housing 4 can be generally cuboid, the length direction of the housing 4 can be the left-right direction, the panel 41 can be the shell wall part of the front side of the housing 4, and the side plate 42 can be the shell wall part of the left side or the right side of the housing 4.

[0097] The housing 4 can comprise two side plates 42, the two side plates 42 can be arranged opposite in the left-right direction, the side air inlet 421 can be arranged on each side plate 42, the side air inlet 421 can be arranged at the lower corner position of each side plate 42, and the side air inlet 421 can be trapezoidal. The air outlet 411 can be a square opening, the air outlet 411 can be arranged at the top of the panel 41 and can extend along the left-right direction.

[0098] The heat exchanger 5 is arranged in the housing 4 and divides the inner cavity of the housing 4 into a lower cavity 43 and an upper cavity 44 arranged opposite in the up-down direction, the side air inlet 421 and the lower cavity 43 are in communication, and the air outlet 411 and the upper cavity 44 are in communication.

[0099] For example, as shown in Fig. (a) of Figure 11 The heat exchanger 5 can be a plate structure, specifically an evaporator or a condenser. When it is an evaporator, the heat exchanger 5 can cool the air flow, thereby meeting the use requirement of indoor cooling. When it is a condenser, the heat exchanger 5 can heat the air flow, thereby meeting the use requirement of indoor heating.

[0100] The heat exchanger 5 can be installed inside the shell 4 and can be arranged inclined downwards in the direction of front-up to rear-down. The outer periphery of the heat exchanger 5 can be sealed to the corresponding inner wall of the shell 4, thereby preventing airflow from flowing through the gap between the heat exchanger 5 and the inner wall of the shell 4, which is beneficial to improving the heat exchange effect.

[0101] It should be noted that the heat exchanger 5 can divide the shell 4 into two relatively independent chambers, namely the lower chamber 43 and the upper chamber 44. The lower chamber 43 is located below the heat exchanger 5, and the upper chamber 44 is located above the heat exchanger 5. The two side air inlets 421 on the two side plates 42 can be connected to the left and right sides of the lower chamber 43, respectively, while the air outlet 411 can be connected to the upper chamber 44.

[0102] like Figure 11 As shown, a centrifugal fan 6 is located in the upper cavity 44. The centrifugal fan 6 is connected to the air outlet 411 and is used to discharge the airflow in the upper cavity 44 through the air outlet 411. Specifically, when the centrifugal fan 6 is running, the external airflow can first flow into the lower cavity 43 through the two side air inlets 421. Then the airflow will flow through the heat exchanger 5 and exchange heat with the heat exchanger 5, thereby achieving heating or cooling of the airflow. The temperature-regulated airflow will enter the upper cavity 44, and then under the action of the centrifugal fan 6, it can be transported to the air outlet 411 and discharged through the air outlet 411.

[0103] like Figure 12 As shown, the centrifugal fan 6 includes a volute 61, which is connected to an air outlet 411 and discharges the airflow in the upper cavity 44 through the air outlet 411. A portion of the volute 61 and the air outlet 411 on the panel 41 form the aforementioned air outlet channel 1. This integrates the air guiding mechanism with the volute 61 and the panel 41, simplifying the overall structure.

[0104] In this embodiment of the air conditioner, the side air inlet 421 is located on the side panel 42 of the air conditioner, and the air outlet 411 is located on the front panel 41 of the air conditioner, so that the air inlet direction and the air outlet direction are not in the same plane 22, thereby avoiding the situation where the outlet airflow is easily drawn back by the air inlet, and improving the overall temperature regulation effect of the air conditioner.

[0105] Secondly, the centrifugal fan 6 has a greater static pressure capacity than conventional cross-flow fans, and can blow the airflow further at the same air volume, thereby enhancing the settling cooling effect of the airflow discharged through the air outlet 411. Moreover, when heating, the hot airflow can reach the ground better and form a warm foot breeze effect, improving the user experience.

[0106] In addition, by adopting the centrifugal fan 6 and arranging the air inlet on the side plate 42, the overall size of the air conditioner can be reduced, the volume of the air conditioner is lowered, the air conditioner is miniaturized, and the use needs of temperature adjustment in a small space environment are met.

[0107] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 12 The heat exchanger 5 includes a heat exchanger body 51 and two side plates 52, wherein the heat exchanger body 51 can be an evaporator or a condenser with heat exchange function, and the side plates 52 can be structural members such as sheet metal.

[0108] The shell 4 includes a back plate 45 arranged opposite to the face plate 41, one side of the heat exchanger body 51 is connected with the face plate 41, the other side of the heat exchanger body 51 is connected with the back plate 45, there are two side plates 42 arranged opposite in the length direction, and the heat exchanger body 51 is located between the two side plates 42.

[0109] For example, the face plate 41 can be a shell wall part of the front side of the shell 4, the back plate 45 can be a shell wall part of the rear side of the shell 4, and the face plate 41 and the back plate 45 can be arranged opposite in the front-rear direction.
