[0038] During the cooling process of an air conditioner, because the temperature at the air outlet is lower than the room temperature, condensation will form on the side panels around the air outlet. The condensation will accumulate into water droplets and drip down, which will directly affect the operation of the air conditioner and will also easily breed bacteria, which is not good for human health.

[0039] To solve this technical problem, this utility model proposes an air conditioner.

[0040] Please see Figures 1 to 8 In one embodiment of this utility model, the air conditioner includes a duct shell, an air outlet structure 10, and a heat-insulating and water-absorbing component 20. The duct shell has an air outlet. The air outlet structure 10 includes a face frame 11 and a guide body 12 protruding from the inner surface of the face frame 11. The face frame 11 has an air outlet 111. One end of the guide body 12 is connected to the air outlet 111, and the other end is connected to the air outlet. The heat-insulating and water-absorbing component 20 is disposed on the outer surface of the guide body 12. This achieves heat insulation of the air outlet structure 10, thereby preventing the generation of condensate.

[0041] In the technical solution of this utility model, the air outlet structure 10 includes a face frame 11 and an air guide body 12. The air outlet of the air duct shell is connected to the air outlet 111 on the face frame 11 through the air guide body 12, so as to guide the airflow in the air duct shell to the air outlet 111 through the air guide body 12, thereby improving the indoor temperature. A heat-insulating and water-absorbing component 20 is provided on the outer surface of the air guide body 12. The heat-insulating and water-absorbing component 20 can insulate the air guide body 12, thereby effectively preventing the generation of condensate during the air conditioner's cooling process and ensuring the normal operation of the air conditioner. In addition, the heat-insulating and water-absorbing component 20 also has the ability to absorb condensate, so that when condensate is generated, it can absorb the condensate to a certain extent, further preventing the condensate from accumulating into water droplets and dripping, thus affecting the operation of the air conditioner.

[0042] Specifically, in this embodiment of the present invention, the heat-insulating and water-absorbing component 20 is configured as a foam component. Compared to a sponge, the heat-insulating and water-absorbing component 20 is made of anti-condensation foam, which has a lower thermal conductivity, effectively hindering heat conduction and providing a more significant heat insulation effect. This makes the temperature at the air guide body 12 more stable, effectively preventing the formation of condensate. Simultaneously, the heat-insulating and water-absorbing component 20 has higher rigidity, thus maintaining its shape and structural integrity even under external force, thereby extending its service life and maintaining good heat insulation performance during long-term use. It will not suffer from uneven thickness due to deformation. In other words, the heat-insulating and water-absorbing component 20 can be structurally designed according to different heat insulation scenarios, for example, made into various shapes and sizes to adapt to the shape and size of the air guide body 12. This helps to simplify the installation of the heat-insulating and water-absorbing component 20 in situations with limited installation space, reducing the installation difficulty and ensuring the heat insulation performance of the heat-insulating and water-absorbing component 20, thus improving the heat insulation effect.

[0043] In addition, the heat insulation and water absorption component 20 has good water absorption while maintaining good heat insulation performance. Even if condensation is generated, the heat insulation and water absorption component 20 can still absorb the condensation to a certain extent, further preventing the condensation from accumulating into water droplets and dripping down, thus affecting the operation of the air conditioner.

[0044] Please see Figures 1 to 4 In an embodiment of this utility model, the face frame 11 includes a panel 112 with the air outlet 111 provided. The edge of the panel 112 is provided with a flange 113. The heat-insulating and water-absorbing component 20 is disposed between the air guide body 12 and the flange 113. In this way, the heat-insulating and water-absorbing component 20 can be adaptively assembled into the installation gap between the air guide body 12 and the flange 113, reliably fitting the outer surface of the air guide body 12, realizing heat insulation treatment of the air guide body 12, and also ensuring the reliability and convenience of the connection between the heat-insulating and water-absorbing component 20 and the air outlet structure 10.

[0045] Please see Figures 5 to 8 In an embodiment of this utility model, the heat-insulating and water-absorbing component 20 includes a first heat-insulating section 21 and a second heat-insulating section 22. The two second heat-insulating sections 22 are arranged at intervals along the extension direction of the first heat-insulating section 21 to form a heat-insulating groove 23 for the air-guiding body 12 to be fitted and embedded. It can be understood that the air-guiding body 12 has a first air-guiding wall and a second air-guiding wall with two ends of the first air-guiding wall. When the heat-insulating and water-absorbing component 20 is installed on the outer surface of the air-guiding body 12, the first heat-insulating section 21 is attached to the first air-guiding wall, and the second heat-insulating wall is attached to the second air-guiding wall. This not only allows the formed heat-insulating groove 23 to reliably adapt to the shape of the air-guiding body 12, thereby improving the heat-insulating effect of the heat-insulating and water-absorbing component 20 on the air-guiding body 12 with a larger effective contact area, but also improves the installation efficiency and installation stability of the heat-insulating and water-absorbing component 20 on the air outlet structure 10 by constraining the movement trend of the heat-insulating and water-absorbing component 20 in the first direction, the second direction, and the third direction. The first direction is the arrangement direction of the two second insulation walls, the second direction is the direction perpendicular to the panel 112, and the third direction is the arrangement direction of the flange 113 and the first air guide wall. However, this design is not limited to this. In other embodiments, the heat-insulating and water-absorbing component 20 includes a first insulation section 21 and a second insulation section 22, and one second insulation section 22 is provided and is laterally connected to the first insulation section 21, so that the heat-insulating and water-absorbing component 20 is L-shaped.

[0046] Furthermore, in an embodiment of this utility model, a reinforcing rib 114 is connected between the panel 112 and the flange 113, and the first heat-insulating section 21 is provided with a groove 231 that cooperates with the reinforcing rib 114, such as... Figure 4 As shown, multiple reinforcing ribs 114 are spaced apart along the first direction between the flange 113 and the panel 112 to improve the overall structural stability of the face frame 11. Each reinforcing rib 114 is located within the installation gap between the flange 113 and the air guide body 12. Figures 5 to 7The heat-insulating water-absorbing component 20 shown has multiple slots 231 on its first insulation section 21 corresponding to each reinforcing rib 114. These slots 231 engage with the reinforcing ribs 114 during installation of the heat-insulating water-absorbing component 20 into the installation gap between the flange 113 and the air guide body 12. This increases the effective contact area between the heat-insulating water-absorbing component 20 and the air outlet structure 10, thus fixing and positioning the heat-insulating water-absorbing component 20 on the air outlet structure 10 and improving its position within the air outlet structure 10. The stable installation on the 0 can also prevent the insulation water absorption component 20 from being installed in reverse, which would cause misalignment between the insulation water absorption component 20 and the corresponding structure on the air outlet structure 10, affecting subsequent assembly steps. This improves the installation efficiency and accuracy of the insulation water absorption component 20 on the air outlet structure 10. For example, if the insulation water absorption component 20 is installed in reverse, the clearance hole 232 on the insulation water absorption component 20 is misaligned with the locking hole 116 on the air outlet structure 10, causing the buckle on the front panel to be unable to be locked in the locking hole 116.

[0047] Please see Figures 1 to 2 In an embodiment of this utility model, a retaining plate 115 is provided on the side of the flange 113 away from the panel 112. The retaining plate 115 has a retaining hole 116, and the heat-insulating and water-absorbing component 20 has a relief hole 232 to avoid the retaining hole 116. It can be understood that the retaining hole 116 on the retaining plate 115 can be used to engage with the buckle on the front panel, while the heat-insulating and water-absorbing component 20 has a relief hole 232 to effectively prevent the heat-insulating and water-absorbing component 20 from interfering with the retaining hole 116. The sealing ensures that the buckle is reliably engaged in the buckle hole 116, completing the connection between the front panel and the face frame 11. Furthermore, the heat-insulating and water-absorbing component 20 increases the effective connection area with the face frame 11 and the air guide body 12, thereby enhancing the heat insulation effect on the air guide body 12 and improving the installation stability of the heat-insulating and water-absorbing component 20 on the air outlet structure 10. It also provides support for the clamping plate 115, improving the connection stability between the clamping plate 115 and the flange 113 and the service life of the clamping plate 115. However, this design is not limited to this. In other embodiments, the end face of the heat-insulating and water-absorbing component 20 facing away from the panel 112 is lower than the end face of the clamping plate 115. In this case, it is not necessary to provide the clearance hole 232, and it does not affect the assembly of the front panel and the face frame 11.

[0048] Please see Figures 5 to 8In an embodiment of this utility model, the heat-insulating and water-absorbing component 20 is provided with a guide surface 233 for guiding the heat-insulating and water-absorbing component 20 to be installed between the air guide body 12 and the flange 113. It can be understood that when the heat-insulating and water-absorbing component 20 is installed into the installation gap between the air guide body 12 and the flange 113, the guide surface 233 of the heat-insulating and water-absorbing component 20 first engages with the plate 115. Utilizing the guiding effect of the guide surface 233, the heat-insulating and water-absorbing component 20 can smoothly enter the installation gap, reducing the installation difficulty of the heat-insulating and water-absorbing component 20 and improving the installation efficiency of the heat-insulating and water-absorbing component 20. However, this design is not limited to this; in other embodiments, the guide surface 233 is provided on the plate 115 or the flange 113.

[0049] Please see Figures 5 to 8 In an embodiment of this utility model, the heat-insulating water-absorbing component 20 is provided with a clearance groove 234 on the side facing the air guide body 12 to avoid structures near the air guide body 12. This reduces the structural impact of structures near the air guide body 12 on the heat-insulating water-absorbing component 20, improves the fit between the heat-insulating water-absorbing component 20 and the air guide body 12, enhances the heat insulation effect of the heat-insulating water-absorbing component 20 on the air guide body 12, and strengthens the connection between the heat-insulating water-absorbing component 20 and the air outlet structure 10. The clearance groove 234 can be located in the first insulation section 21 and / or the second insulation section 22 to allow the heat-insulating water-absorbing component 20 to adapt to the installation gap of the air outlet structure 10.

[0050] Please see Figures 1 to 2 In an embodiment of this utility model, the air guide body 12 includes an air outlet section 121 and an air guide section 122. The air guide section 122 connects the air duct outlet and the air outlet section 121. The air guide section 122 is gradually widened in the direction from the air duct outlet to the air outlet section 121. The heat-insulating and water-absorbing component 20 is disposed on the outer surface of the air outlet section 121. It can be understood that in order to ensure the air volume and air efficiency of the air conditioner, the diameter of the air outlet 111 is larger than the diameter of the air duct outlet. The gradual widening of the air guide section 122 adapts to the direction from the air duct outlet to the air outlet. The change in the diameter of outlet 111 creates a buffer diffusion zone for airflow, which helps reduce wind pressure and airflow resistance, making the air flowing out of outlet 111 more uniform and smooth, reducing the noise of the air duct of the indoor air conditioner, and improving user comfort. It also forms a buffer zone for airflow temperature. Furthermore, to prevent condensation, since outlet section 121 is located close to outlet 111, the heat-insulating and water-absorbing component 20 is installed on panel 112 and adheres to the outer surface of outlet section 121 to effectively insulate it and prevent condensation from forming on it. Of course, in other embodiments, the heat-insulating and water-absorbing component 20 may extend to air guide section 122.

[0051] Specifically, in an embodiment of this utility model, the channel wall of the air guide section 122 is provided with an installation port 123, the installation port 123 is covered with a guide cover 124, the guide cover 124 has an outwardly inclined guide surface, specifically, one end of the guide surface is connected to the air duct outlet, the other end extends toward the air outlet section 121, and is inclined in the direction away from the air duct outlet, so that the air guide section 122 is gradually widened in the direction from the air duct outlet to the air outlet section 121, and the profile surface of the air duct shell is smoothly connected with the guide surface, so that the air flowing from the air duct outlet to the air outlet 111 is more uniform and smooth, and the temperature change is more stable.

[0052] The guide cover 124 and the air guide section 122 can be fixed into a whole by means of connection such as welding or bonding, or by means of connection such as snap-fit ​​or plug-in. This helps to process and shape the air guide body 12 and reduces the production difficulty of the air outlet structure 10. Furthermore, when the guide cover 124 and the air guide body 12 are detachably connected, it is convenient to flexibly replace the guide cover 124 and change the tilt angle of the guide surface, thereby achieving the diversification of the air guide body 12 and improving the maintenance effect of the air outlet structure 10.

[0053] Please see Figures 1 to 2 In an embodiment of this utility model, the air conditioner further includes a grille 13, which is fixedly connected to the air guide body 12 and disposed away from the air guide cover 124. At this time, the grille 13 can be connected to the air outlet section 121, and can also be connected to the connection between the air outlet section 121 and the air guide section 122, thereby ensuring that the user cannot touch the components inside the air outlet 111, improving the safety of the air conditioner, and ensuring the outflow of airflow.

[0054] The connection methods between the grille 13 and the air outlet body include, but are not limited to, integral molding, welding, and snap-fit. When an integral molding or welding non-removable connection method is used, it is easy to enhance the overall structural strength of the air outlet structure 10. At the same time, it reduces the risk of the grille 13 detaching from the air outlet 111 and ensures the safe use of the air conditioner. When a snap-fit ​​or other detachable connection method is used, it is easy to maintain in the future.

[0055] Optionally, in an embodiment of this utility model, the air conditioner includes an indoor unit and an outdoor unit, with the air outlet structure 10 and the duct housing both located in the indoor unit; the indoor unit and the outdoor unit are connected by a refrigerant hose assembly, and the refrigerant hose assembly is pre-filled with refrigerant; specifically, the air conditioner of this utility model can be a split-type air conditioner that is easy for users to install themselves, using a refrigerant hose assembly to connect the indoor heat exchanger of the indoor unit and the outdoor heat exchanger of the outdoor unit, and injecting refrigerant into the refrigerant circuit before the equipment leaves the factory; thus, when users install the equipment themselves, they only need to fix the indoor unit and the outdoor unit separately, without needing to assemble refrigerant pipes and add refrigerant, thereby reducing the installation difficulty and enabling users to install themselves. However, this design is not limited to this; in other embodiments, the air conditioner of this utility model can also be a common split-type air conditioner.

[0056] Optionally, in an embodiment of this utility model, the compressor of the air conditioner is located in the indoor unit, which can reduce the weight of the outdoor unit and facilitate its installation. For example, users can move the outdoor unit themselves to find a suitable installation location, reducing installation difficulty and labor costs, especially in areas where labor costs are high. Correspondingly, the compressor is also equipped with a noise reduction structure to ensure low-noise operation of the indoor unit, and a buffer structure is also provided to reduce compressor vibration transmission.

[0057] Optionally, in an embodiment of this utility model, the bottom of the indoor unit is provided with casters to facilitate the movement and transport of the indoor unit; correspondingly, the indoor unit is provided with a locking structure to constrain the rotation of the casters, ensuring stable operation of the indoor unit.

[0058] The above description is merely an exemplary embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the scope of protection of the present utility model. Any equivalent structural transformations made based on the technical concept of the present utility model and the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the scope of protection of the present utility model.
