Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of air conditioning technology, specifically to an air guide plate and an air conditioner. Background Technology

[0002] In related technologies, an air conditioner includes a housing and an air guide plate. The housing is provided with an air inlet, an air outlet, and a side air outlet. The air outlet opens forward. The air guide plate is located at the air outlet to adjust the air outlet direction. The side air outlet is located on the side plate of the housing to increase the air outlet range and adjust the air outlet effect.

[0003] However, the side air outlet of the air conditioner in the relevant technology, in order to form a side air outlet duct, easily occupies part of the space inside the casing, reduces the volume of the heat exchange duct inside the air conditioner, and affects the air outlet effect. Utility Model Content

[0004] This disclosure aims to at least partially address one of the technical problems in the related art. To this end, embodiments of this disclosure propose an air guide plate that enables side airflow from an air conditioner, ensuring the volume of the heat exchange duct within the air conditioner and improving airflow efficiency.

[0005] This disclosure also proposes an air conditioner.

[0006] The air guide plate of this disclosure includes: a plate body having a first end and a second end in its length direction; and a side air outlet member disposed on the plate body and adjacent to at least one of the first end and the second end of the plate body, wherein the side air outlet member and the plate body form a side air outlet.

[0007] The air guide plate of this disclosure provides a side air outlet at at least one end of the plate body along its length, forming a side air outlet between the side air outlet and the plate body. The side air outlet does not occupy the volume of the heat exchange duct inside the air conditioner. Moreover, when the air guide plate is in the first position (reset), the air inside the air conditioner can flow out from the side air outlet, thus achieving side air outlet of the air conditioner while ensuring the volume of the heat exchange duct inside the air conditioner, improving the air outlet effect and enhancing the user experience.

[0008] In some embodiments, at least a portion of the outer periphery of the side air outlet is arc-shaped. This arc shape helps to better guide airflow, reduce flow resistance at the side air outlet, and improve airflow efficiency.

[0009] In some embodiments, the outer peripheral contour of the side air outlet includes a first contour portion defined by the plate body and a second contour portion defined by the side air outlet member, wherein at least a portion of at least one of the first contour portion and the second contour portion is arc-shaped.

[0010] In this embodiment, at least a portion of at least one of the first and second contour portions is made into an arc shape. On the one hand, this makes the airflow smoother when passing through the side air outlet, and facilitates the contour portion to better guide the airflow. On the other hand, it improves the aesthetics of the side air outlet and simplifies the structure.

[0011] In some embodiments, one of the first contour portion and the second contour portion is arc-shaped, and the other contour portion is straight-shaped.

[0012] In this embodiment, by setting one of the first contour portion and the second contour portion to be arc-shaped and the other to be straight, the arc-shaped contour portion reduces the airflow resistance and eddies, allowing the airflow to pass smoothly and steadily. The straight contour portion increases the airflow speed. By setting the arc-shaped and straight contour portions, the airflow is ensured to pass smoothly through the side air outlet while increasing the airflow speed, thereby improving the efficiency of the air conditioner.

[0013] In some embodiments, the one contour portion is an arc shape that protrudes toward or away from the other contour portion.

[0014] In this embodiment, by setting one contour part as an arc protruding towards another contour part, or setting one contour part as an arc protruding away from another contour part, the different protrusion directions of the arc contour parts facilitate the sorting and guidance of the airflow passing through the side air outlet, so as to direct the airflow to the position required by the user, improve the air outlet effect, and thus improve the user experience.

[0015] In some embodiments, both the first contour portion and the second contour portion are arc-shaped, the first contour portion protrudes toward or away from the second contour portion, and the protrusion direction of the first contour portion is the same as or opposite to the protrusion direction of the second contour portion.

[0016] In this embodiment, by setting both the first contour portion and the second contour portion to be arc-shaped, the resistance of airflow through the side outlet can be further reduced, the airflow distribution is more uniform, and the stability of airflow is improved.

[0017] In some embodiments, the outer periphery of the side air outlet includes a first profile portion defined by the plate body and a second profile portion defined by the side air outlet member, wherein at least a portion of the first profile portion and at least a portion of the second profile portion are straight lines.

[0018] In this embodiment, by making at least a portion of the first contour portion and at least a portion of the second contour portion straight, the air inside the air conditioner can quickly enter the room through the side air outlet, resulting in faster diffusion speed, improved airflow circulation speed, and thus improved performance of the air conditioner.

[0019] In some embodiments, the outer peripheral contour of the side air outlet further includes a third contour portion and a fourth contour portion opposite to each other in the width direction of the plate body, the third contour portion and the fourth contour portion being defined by the side air outlet member, and the first contour portion, the third contour portion, the second contour portion and the fourth contour portion forming the side air outlet.

[0020] In this embodiment, the third contour portion is connected to the first contour portion and the second contour portion, and the fourth contour portion is connected to the first contour portion and the second contour portion. The arrangement of the third contour portion and the fourth contour portion facilitates the connection between the first contour portion and the second contour portion.

[0021] In some embodiments, the side air outlet includes a first side air outlet plate and a second side air outlet plate arranged at intervals along the length direction of the plate body, and the side air outlet includes a first side air outlet formed by a first end of the plate body and the first side air outlet plate and a second side air outlet formed by a second end of the plate body and the second side air outlet plate.

[0022] In this embodiment, by setting up a first side air outlet and a second side air outlet, a portion of the airflow inside the air conditioner flows out through the first side air outlet, and another portion of the airflow flows out through the second side air outlet, thereby achieving simultaneous side airflow from both sides of the air conditioner along the length of the panel body.

[0023] In some embodiments, the air guide plate further includes a flow guide, which is disposed at the side air outlet and on at least one of the plate body and the side air outlet.

[0024] In this embodiment, by placing the air guide at the side air outlet, the airflow blown from the side air outlet is directed to a set area. Therefore, the air guide can sort and guide the airflow blown from the side air outlet to the position required by the user, thereby improving the airflow effect and enhancing the user experience.

[0025] In some embodiments, the air guide includes a guide plate disposed at the side air outlet, which divides the side air outlet into at least two air guide zones. Thus, the air discharged from the side air outlet can enter different air guide zones and then be guided out of the air conditioner under the guidance of these zones, thereby improving the diffusion effect of the air discharged from the side air outlet and increasing the air delivery range.

[0026] In some embodiments, the airflow guide includes a ventilation plate with multiple ventilation holes extending through it along its thickness, covering the side air outlet. On one hand, the airflow exiting the side air outlet can be dispersed by the ventilation plate, making the airflow gentler and improving the user experience. On the other hand, since the ventilation plate covers the side air outlet, it can prevent external dust or foreign objects from entering the air conditioner, thus providing a certain degree of dust prevention and improving the reliability of the air conditioner's operation.

[0027] In some embodiments, the airflow guide includes a guide fan disposed at the side air outlet. The guide fan thus guides the airflow discharged from the side air outlet, allowing the airflow to diffuse in all directions, thereby improving the airflow diffusion effect at the side air outlet location and increasing the air delivery range.

[0028] In some embodiments, the plate body is provided with a through hole that penetrates the plate body along its thickness direction.

[0029] In this embodiment, the through-hole design allows the air conditioner to continue operating and dissipate air through the side air outlet and through-hole after the air guide plate is reset, thereby improving the flexibility of the air conditioner's air dissipation and making the exhaust air gentler, which is beneficial to improving the user experience.

[0030] An air conditioner according to an embodiment of this disclosure includes: a housing having an air outlet; and an air guide plate, the air guide plate being the air guide plate described in the above embodiment, the air guide plate being movably connected to the housing between a first position and a second position. In the first position, air from the housing exits at least from the side air outlet, and in the second position, air from the housing exits from the side air outlet and from at least one side in the width direction and at least one side in the length direction of the air guide plate.

[0031] In the air conditioner of this embodiment, when the air guide plate is in the first position, it moves relative to the housing towards the air outlet to close the front side of the air outlet, and the airflow flows out from the side air outlet, preventing the airflow from blowing directly on the human body, thus enhancing comfort and improving the user experience. When the air guide plate is in the second position, it moves relative to the housing away from the air outlet to open the front side of the air outlet, facilitating the airflow to flow out from the air outlet. The air outlet area is relatively large, enabling the air conditioner to cool and heat quickly. The air guide plate can be switched between the second and first positions, allowing the user to adjust the air guide plate as needed to make the airflow flow out through the air outlet or the side air outlet, thus achieving front or side airflow from the air conditioner.

[0032] In some embodiments, in the first position, the side air outlet is fitted to the housing. When the air guide plate is in the first position, the side air outlet is fitted to the housing, thereby making the side air outlet less prone to deformation and ensuring structural stability.

[0058] Embodiments of this disclosure are described in detail below, with examples of these embodiments illustrated in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this disclosure, and should not be construed as limiting it.

[0059] The following is a reference appendix. Figures 1 to 17 The air guide plate 20 and the air conditioner are described according to embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0060] The air guide plate 20 of this embodiment includes a plate body 1 and a side air outlet 2. The plate body 1 has a first end 11 and a second end 12 in its length direction. The side air outlet 2 is disposed on the plate body 1 and adjacent to at least one of the first end 11 and the second end 12 of the plate body 1, and a side air outlet 3 is formed between the side air outlet 2 and the plate body 1.

[0061] The air guide plate 20 of this embodiment is provided with a side air outlet 2 at at least one end in the length direction of the plate body 1. A side air outlet 3 is formed between the side air outlet 2 and the plate body 1. The side air outlet 3 does not occupy the volume of the heat exchange air duct inside the air conditioner. Moreover, when the air guide plate 20 is in the first position (reset), the air inside the housing 10 can flow out from the side air outlet 3. This achieves side air outlet of the air conditioner while ensuring the volume of the heat exchange air duct inside the air conditioner, thereby improving the air outlet effect and enhancing the user experience.

[0062] Specifically, such as Figures 1-3As shown, the length direction of the plate body 1 is consistent with the left and right direction. The left end of the plate body 1 is the first end 11, and the right end of the plate body 1 is the second end 12. Alternatively, the right end of the plate body 1 is the first end 11, and the left end of the plate body 1 is the second end 12. The side air outlet 2 is located on one side of the plate body 1 in the thickness direction.

[0063] The side air outlet 2 is adjacent to at least one of the first end 11 and the second end 12 of the plate body 1. This can be understood as the left end of the plate body 1 forming a side air outlet 3 with the side air outlet 2; or the right end of the plate body 1 forming a side air outlet 3 with the side air outlet 2; or the left end of the plate body 1 forming a side air outlet 3 with the side air outlet 2, and the right end of the plate body 1 forming a side air outlet 3 with the side air outlet 2, that is, there are two side air outlets 3.

[0064] It is understandable that the air guide plate 20 is located at the air outlet 110 of the housing 10. When the air guide plate 20 is in the first position (reset), since the air guide plate 20 blocks the front of the air outlet 110, the air inside the housing 10 can flow out from the side air outlet 3, preventing the airflow from blowing directly on the human body, thus enhancing comfort and improving the user experience. When the air guide plate 20 is in the second position (the air guide plate 20 moves away from the air outlet 110 relative to the housing 10 to open the front of the air outlet 110), most of the air inside the housing 10 can flow out directly from the air outlet 110, resulting in a relatively large air outlet area, enabling rapid cooling and heating of the air conditioner. By forming the side air outlet 3 between the plate body 1 and the side air outlet component 2, it is convenient to set the air guide plate 20 into different forms to meet different air guiding needs and improve the user experience.

[0065] In some embodiments, such as Figures 4-11 As shown, at least a portion of the outer periphery of the side air outlet 3 is arc-shaped. The arc shape can better guide the airflow, reduce the flow resistance at the side air outlet 3, and improve the airflow efficiency.

[0066] In some embodiments, the outer periphery of the side air outlet 3 includes a first profile portion 31 defined by the plate body 1 and a second profile portion 32 defined by the side air outlet member 2, wherein at least a portion of at least one of the first profile portion 31 and the second profile portion 32 is arc-shaped.

[0067] Specifically, such as Figures 4-11As shown, at least a portion of at least one of the first contour portion 31 and the second contour portion 32 is arc-shaped. This can be understood as at least a portion of the first contour portion 31 being arc-shaped; or at least a portion of the second contour portion 32 being arc-shaped; or at least a portion of both the first contour portion 31 and the second contour portion 32 being arc-shaped. The arc-shaped contour portion design allows for smoother airflow through the side air outlet 3, facilitating better airflow guidance by the contour portion. Furthermore, it enhances the aesthetics of the side air outlet 3 and simplifies its structure.

[0068] Optionally, at least a portion of the first contour portion 31 is arc-shaped, which can be a portion of the first contour portion 31 being arc-shaped, or the entire first contour portion 31 being arc-shaped. At least a portion of the second contour portion 32 is arc-shaped, which can be a portion of the second contour portion 32 being arc-shaped, or the entire second contour portion 32 being arc-shaped. Alternatively, at least a portion of the first contour portion 31 and at least a portion of the second contour portion 32 may both be arc-shaped, which can be a portion of the first contour portion 31 and a portion of the second contour portion 32; or a portion of the first contour portion 31 and the entire second contour portion 32 being arc-shaped; or the entire first contour portion 31 and a portion of the second contour portion 32 being arc-shaped; or the entire first contour portion 31 and the entire second contour portion 32 being arc-shaped.

[0069] In some embodiments, one of the contour portions of the first contour portion 31 and the second contour portion 32 is arc-shaped, and the other contour portion of the first contour portion 31 and the second contour portion 32 is straight-shaped.

[0070] Specifically, such as Figures 4-7 As shown, the first contour portion 31 is straight and the second contour portion 32 is curved; or, the first contour portion 31 is curved and the second contour portion 32 is straight.

[0071] Figure 4 The first embodiment of the air guide plate 20 is shown, wherein the first contour portion 31 defined by the plate body 1 is arc-shaped, the second contour portion 32 defined by the side air outlet 2 is straight, and the first contour portion 31 is an arc shape that protrudes away from the second contour portion 32.

[0072] Figure 5 A second embodiment of the air guide plate 20 is shown, wherein the first contour portion 31 defined by the plate body 1 is straight, the second contour portion 32 defined by the side air outlet 2 is arc-shaped, and the second contour portion 32 is an arc shape protruding toward the first contour portion 31.

[0073] Figure 6A third embodiment of the air guide plate 20 is shown, wherein the first contour portion 31 defined by the plate body 1 is straight, the second contour portion 32 defined by the side air outlet 2 is arc-shaped, and the second contour portion 32 is an arc shape that protrudes away from the first contour portion 31.

[0074] Figure 7 The fourth embodiment of the air guide plate 20 is shown, wherein the first contour portion 31 defined by the plate body 1 is arc-shaped, the second contour portion 32 defined by the side air outlet member 2 is straight, and the first contour portion 31 is arc-shaped protruding toward the second contour portion 32.

[0075] In this embodiment, by setting one of the first contour portion 31 and the second contour portion 32 to be arc-shaped and the other to be straight, the arc-shaped contour portion reduces the airflow resistance and eddies in the arc-shaped contour portion, allowing the airflow to pass smoothly and steadily. The straight contour portion increases the airflow speed. By setting the arc-shaped and straight contour portions, the airflow is ensured to pass smoothly through the side air outlet 3 while increasing the airflow speed, thereby improving the efficiency of the air conditioner.

[0076] In some embodiments, a profile is an arc shape that protrudes toward or away from another profile.

[0077] In this embodiment, by setting one contour part to be an arc protruding towards another contour part, or setting one contour part to be an arc protruding away from another contour part, the different protrusion directions of the arc contour parts facilitate the sorting and guidance of the airflow passing through the side air outlet 3, so as to direct the airflow to the position required by the user, improve the air outlet effect, and thus improve the user experience.

[0078] Specifically, such as Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, by setting the first contour portion 31 as a straight line and the second contour portion 32 as an arc protruding away from the first contour portion 31, or by setting the first contour portion 31 as an arc protruding away from the second contour portion 32 and the second contour portion 32 as a straight line, it is convenient to connect the first contour portion 31 and the second contour portion 32, reducing the manufacturing difficulty of the air guide plate 20 and simplifying the structure.

[0079] like Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, by setting the first contour portion 31 to a straight line and the second contour portion 32 to an arc protruding toward the first contour portion 31, or by setting the first contour portion 31 to an arc protruding toward the second contour portion 32 and the second contour portion 32 to a straight line, it is convenient to increase the diversity of the side air outlet 3 while improving the aesthetics.

[0080] In some embodiments, such as Figures 8-11As shown, both the first contour portion 31 and the second contour portion 32 are arc-shaped. The first contour portion 31 protrudes towards or away from the second contour portion 32, and the protrusion direction of the first contour portion 31 is the same as or opposite to the protrusion direction of the second contour portion 32. By setting both the first contour portion 31 and the second contour portion 32 to be arc-shaped, the resistance of airflow through the side outlet 3 can be further reduced, the airflow distribution is more uniform, and the stability of the airflow is improved.

[0081] like Figure 8 The fifth embodiment of the air guide plate 20 is shown, wherein the first contour portion 31 is an arc shape protruding away from the second contour portion 32, and the second contour portion 32 is an arc shape protruding toward the first contour portion 31, and the protrusion directions of the first contour portion 31 and the second contour portion 32 are the same.

[0082] like Figure 9 The sixth embodiment of the air guide plate 20 is shown. The first contour portion 31 is an arc shape protruding away from the second contour portion 32, and the second contour portion 32 is an arc shape protruding away from the first contour portion 31. The protrusion directions of the first contour portion 31 and the second contour portion 32 are opposite. The first contour portion 31 and the second contour portion 32 protrude in mutually opposing directions, which on the one hand ensures the air outlet area of ​​the side air outlet 3 and ensures the air volume of the air conditioner, and on the other hand, the airflow flows smoothly along the curves of the two arc-shaped contour portions, which can effectively disperse the wind force, reduce the air pressure, and improve the air outlet effect.

[0083] like Figure 10 The seventh embodiment of the air guide plate 20 is shown, wherein the first contour portion 31 is an arc protruding toward the second contour portion 32, the second contour portion 32 is an arc protruding toward the first contour portion 31, and the protrusion directions of the first contour portion 31 and the second contour portion 32 are opposite.

[0084] like Figure 11 The eighth embodiment of the air guide plate 20 is shown, wherein the first contour portion 31 is an arc protruding toward the second contour portion 32, the second contour portion 32 is an arc protruding away from the first contour portion 31, and the protrusion directions of the first contour portion 31 and the second contour portion 32 are the same.

[0085] In some embodiments, the outer periphery of the side air outlet 3 includes a first profile portion 31 defined by the plate body 1 and a second profile portion 32 defined by the side air outlet member 2, wherein at least a portion of the first profile portion 31 and at least a portion of the second profile portion 32 are both straight lines.

[0086] At least a portion of the first contour portion 31 and at least a portion of the second contour portion 32 are both straight lines. This can be understood as: a portion of the first contour portion 31 is straight, and a portion of the second contour portion 32 is straight; or, the entire first contour portion 31 is straight, and the entire second contour portion 32 is straight; or, a portion of the first contour portion 31 is straight, and the entire second contour portion 32 is straight; or, the entire first contour portion 31 is straight, and a portion of the second contour portion 32 is straight.

[0087] like Figure 12 The ninth embodiment of the air guide plate 20 is shown, in which the first profile portion 31 is straight and the second profile portion 32 is straight, so that the air inside the housing 10 can quickly enter the room through the side air outlet 3, the diffusion speed is faster, the airflow circulation speed is improved, and thus the performance of the air conditioner is improved.

[0088] Optionally, in this embodiment, the upper end of the side air outlet 2 is approximately flush with the upper end of the plate body 1, and the lower end of the side air outlet 2 is approximately flush with the lower end of the plate body 1. The upper end of the side air outlet 2 is connected to the upper end of the plate body 1, and the lower end of the side air outlet 2 is connected to the lower end of the plate body 1. The upper end of the side air outlet 2 is lower than the upper end of the plate body 1, and / or the lower end of the side air outlet 2 is higher than the lower end of the plate body 1, so as to increase the air outlet area of ​​the side air outlet 3 and improve the air outlet effect.

[0089] In some embodiments, the outer periphery of the side air outlet 3 further includes a third profile portion 33 and a fourth profile portion 34 that are opposite each other in the width direction of the plate body 1. The third profile portion 33 and the fourth profile portion 34 are both defined by the side air outlet member 2, and the first profile portion 31, the third profile portion 33, the second profile portion 32 and the fourth profile portion 34 form the side air outlet 3.

[0090] Specifically, such as Figure 5 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 , Figures 10-12 The third contour portion 33 and the fourth contour portion 34 are arranged opposite to each other in the width direction of the plate body 1. The third contour portion 33 is located above the fourth contour portion 34. The third contour portion 33 is connected to the first contour portion 31 and the second contour portion 32, and the fourth contour portion 34 is connected to the first contour portion 31 and the second contour portion 32. The arrangement of the third contour portion 33 and the fourth contour portion 34 facilitates the connection of the first contour portion 31 and the second contour portion 32.

[0091] In some embodiments, the side air outlet 2 includes a first side air outlet plate 21 and a second side air outlet plate 22 arranged at intervals along the length of the plate body 1, and the side air outlet 3 includes a first side air outlet 35 formed by the first end 11 of the plate body 1 and the first side air outlet plate 21 and a second side air outlet 36 formed by the second end 12 of the plate body 1 and the second side air outlet plate 22.

[0092] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the first side air outlet plate 21 and the second side air outlet plate 22 are arranged at intervals in the left and right directions. The first end 11 of the plate body 1 forms a first side air outlet 35 between the first side air outlet plate 21 and the second end 12 of the plate body 1 forms a second side air outlet 36 between the second end 12 of the plate body 1 and the second side air outlet plate 22. Through the arrangement of the first side air outlet 35 and the second side air outlet 36, a part of the airflow inside the housing 10 flows out through the first side air outlet 35 and flows to the left, while another part of the airflow flows out through the second side air outlet 36 and flows to the right, thereby realizing the left and right air outlets of the air conditioner.

[0093] In some embodiments, the air guide plate 20 further includes a guide member 4, which is disposed at the side air outlet 3 and on at least one of the plate body 1 and the side air outlet 2.

[0094] Specifically, such as Figures 13-17 As shown, the air guide 4 is located at the side air outlet 3 and is used to guide the airflow blown out of the side air outlet 3 to a set area. Therefore, the air guide 4 can sort and guide the airflow blown out of the side air outlet 3 to guide the airflow to the position required by the user, thereby improving the airflow effect and improving the user experience.

[0095] Understandably, the air guide 4 can sort and guide the airflow discharged from the side air outlet 3. On the one hand, it can reduce the problem of turbulence at the side air outlet 3 and reduce the air outlet resistance. On the other hand, it can guide the airflow, which is conducive to improving the air supply range or air supply distance of the side air outlet 3, thereby meeting the air supply needs of the air conditioner in different working modes.

[0096] The air guide 4 is disposed on at least one of the plate body 1 and the side air outlet 2. For example, the air guide 4 is disposed on the plate body 1. Another example is that the air guide 4 is disposed on the side air outlet 2. Yet another example is that there are two air guides 4, one disposed on the plate body 1 and the other disposed on the side air outlet 2. By connecting the air guides 4 in the above manner, the air conditioner of the embodiment of this disclosure simplifies the arrangement of the air guides 4 and facilitates their assembly and manufacturing compared to a heat exchanger solution that integrates the air guides 4 into the housing 10.

[0097] In some embodiments, such as Figures 13-15 As shown, the airflow guide 4 includes a guide plate 41, which is disposed at the side air outlet 3. The guide plate 41 divides the side air outlet 3 into at least two airflow guiding zones 37. The air discharged from the side air outlet 3 can enter different airflow guiding zones 37 respectively, and then be guided out of the housing 10 under the guidance of the airflow guiding zones 37. This can improve the diffusion effect of the air discharged from the side air outlet 3 and increase the air supply range.

[0098] The air outlet direction of different guide zones 37 can be the same or different, and this embodiment does not limit this.

[0099] For example, such as Figure 14 and Figure 15 As shown, there are multiple guide vanes 41, which are arranged at intervals at the side air outlets 3. This can improve the diffusion effect of the airflow discharged from the side air outlets 3 and increase the air supply range.

[0100] In some embodiments, such as Figure 16 As shown, the air guide 4 includes a ventilation plate 42, which has multiple ventilation holes 421 extending through it along its thickness. The ventilation plate 42 covers the side air outlet 3. On one hand, the airflow discharged from the side air outlet 3 can be dispersed by the ventilation plate 42, making the airflow from the side air outlet 3 gentler and improving the user experience. On the other hand, since the ventilation plate 42 covers the side air outlet 3, it can prevent external dust or foreign objects from entering the housing 10, that is, the ventilation plate 42 has a certain dustproof effect, thereby improving the reliability of the air conditioner.

[0101] In some embodiments, such as Figure 17 As shown, the airflow guide 4 includes a guide fan 43, which is located at the side air outlet 3. The guide fan 43 can guide the airflow discharged from the side air outlet 3 so that the airflow can spread in all directions, thereby improving the airflow diffusion effect at the side air outlet 3 and increasing the air supply range.

[0102] For example, the deflector fan 43 has deflector blades that can rotate relative to the air guide plate 20 under the action of airflow. That is to say, the deflector fan 43 is a non-powered fan. When airflow blows over the deflector blades, the deflector blades can rotate relative to the air guide plate 20, thereby guiding the airflow to improve the diffusion effect of the airflow and increase the air delivery range.

[0103] The rotation axis of the guide vanes is roughly parallel to the length direction of the guide plate 20 to improve the air outlet effect of the side outlet 3.

[0104] In other examples, the guide vanes are fixed relative to the air guide plate 20. The guide vanes can be in the form of a guide grid or a fixed fan-shaped structure. When airflow passes over the guide vanes, it is guided to a designated area in the room by the outer wall of the guide vanes, thereby improving the air supply effect of the air conditioner.

[0105] like Figure 17As shown, the number of guide fans 43 can be one or more. For example, in the example of this disclosure, there are two guide fans 43, which are arranged at intervals within the side air outlet 3. The guide fans 43 can be connected to the air guide plate 20, thereby facilitating the assembly and processing of the guide fans 43.

[0106] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the plate body 1 is provided with a through hole 13 that penetrates the plate body 1 along its thickness direction. The through hole 13 allows the air conditioner to still operate after the air guide plate 20 is reset and to discharge air through the side air outlet 3 and the through hole 13, thereby improving the flexibility of the air conditioner's air discharge and making the discharged air gentler, which is conducive to improving the user experience.

[0107] The air conditioner of this embodiment includes a housing 10 and an air guide plate 20. The housing 10 is provided with an air outlet 110. The air guide plate 20 is the air guide plate 20 of the above embodiment. The air guide plate 20 is movably connected to the housing 10 between a first position and a second position. In the first position, the air in the housing 10 is discharged from at least the side air outlet 3. In the second position, the air in the housing 10 is discharged from the side air outlet 3 and from at least one side in the width direction and at least one side in the length direction of the air guide plate 20.

[0108] Specifically, the air guide plate 20 is movably connected to the housing 10 between a first position and a second position. In the first position, at least one end of the plate body 1 in the length direction forms a side air outlet 3 with the side air outlet member 2, and the air in the housing 10 can be discharged from the side air outlet 3. In the second position, the air in the housing 10 is discharged from the side air outlet 3 and from at least one side in the width direction and at least one side in the length direction of the air guide plate 20.

[0109] When the air guide plate 20 is in the first position, it can block the air outlet 110, that is, the two sides of the air guide plate 20 in the width direction abut against the housing 10. At this time, the air inside the housing 10 can be discharged through the side air outlet 3. When the plate body 1 is provided with a through hole 13, the air inside the housing 10 can also be discharged through the through hole 13.

[0110] When the air guide plate 20 is in the second position, it is spaced apart from the air outlet 110. At this time, part of the air inside the housing 10 is discharged through the air outlet 110, and the other part is discharged through the side air outlet 3. The air discharged from the air outlet 110 of the housing 10 can be discharged along at least one side of the width direction and at least one side of the length direction of the air guide plate 20 under the guidance of the air guide plate 20.

[0111] In other words, when the air guide plate 20 is in the first position, it can close the air outlet 110, at which point the air outlet 110 will either not produce air or produce only a small flow of air. When the air guide plate 20 is in the second position, it can open the air outlet 110, at which point the air outlet 110 will produce a large flow of air. Furthermore, since the side air outlet 3 is formed on the air guide plate 20, it can produce air normally regardless of whether the air guide plate 20 is in the first or second position.

[0112] When the air guide plate 20 is in the second position, it moves away from the air outlet 110 relative to the housing 10 to open the front side of the air outlet 110, facilitating airflow from the outlet 110. This results in a relatively large air outlet area, enabling rapid cooling and heating of the air conditioner. When the air guide plate 20 is in the first position, it moves closer to the air outlet 110 relative to the housing 10 to close the front side of the outlet 110. Airflow then exits through the side air outlet 3, preventing direct airflow onto the body and enhancing comfort and user experience. The air guide plate 20 can be switched between the second and first positions, allowing users to adjust it as needed to direct airflow through the outlet 110 or the side air outlet 3, achieving front or side airflow from the air conditioner.

[0113] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, in the first position, the side air outlet 2 is in contact with the housing 10. When the air guide plate 20 is in the first position, the side air outlet 2 is in contact with the housing 10, which makes the side air outlet 3 less prone to deformation and ensures structural stability.
