Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to an air conditioner, and is applicable to the technical field of air conditioning. Background Technology

[0002] Most existing air conditioners with humidification functions use an upward airflow design, such as the humidifier and heater disclosed in Chinese patent CN217540866U, where water vapor is output to the air for humidification under the action of airflow. Since users are generally located to the side of the air conditioner, rather than directly above it, this upward airflow structure cannot achieve timely overall humidification of the human body, resulting in a poor user experience. Furthermore, in the solution disclosed in this patent, the air outlet is directly located on the casing. The airflow inside the casing is directly heated upwards by the heating element through the fan and air duct, and then flows directly out of the air outlet. There is no separate air duct component inside to guide the airflow, which easily leads to turbulence inside the casing, reducing airflow efficiency and compromising the durability of electrical components.

[0003] On the other hand, existing air conditioners that combine humidification and heating functions are generally long and narrow, resembling a baseboard or an oil-filled radiator. This is because the water tank in existing technologies is typically placed horizontally alongside the humidifier and heater. The problem with this is that the air conditioner is quite long horizontally, taking up a lot of space and is aesthetically unappealing. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this application is to design an air conditioner that aims to solve the problems of poor user experience, low air output efficiency, unreliable electrical components, large space occupation, and unsightly appearance of existing air conditioners.

[0030] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the embodiments of this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be arbitrarily combined with each other. Those skilled in the art will understand that an air conditioner according to this application can be a humidifier, an electric heater, a humidifier with heating function, or a blower, etc.

[0031] like Figure 1-3As shown, this application proposes an air conditioner, which includes a body 1, an air duct assembly 5, and a fan assembly 6. The air duct assembly 5 and the fan assembly 6 are respectively disposed within the body 1. The air duct assembly 5 is located above the fan assembly 6 and connected to it. An independent air outlet component 2 is provided on the top of the body 1, with an upwardly angled air outlet 21, a design that facilitates adjustment of the airflow direction. The air outlet component 2 communicates with the air duct assembly 5 to form an air duct; the upwardly angled air outlet 21 communicates with the air duct, allowing the air duct to guide the airflow from the air duct assembly 5 to the air outlet 21. The bottom of the body 1 is provided with casters 44 for movement. By adopting the above solution, an independent air outlet component 2 is provided on the top of the unit 1. This allows for flexible design of the air outlet position and orientation, achieving a user-friendly airflow design. Furthermore, the airflow generated by the fan assembly 6 can enter the air duct upwards along the air duct assembly 5 and be directly blown out through the air outlet 21 on the air outlet component 2, preventing turbulence within the machine. This effectively improves airflow efficiency, allowing users to more intuitively perceive the airflow effect and enhancing their experience. Moreover, because the air duct assembly is set as an independent component, both humidified and heated air are less likely to cause damage to other components inside the regulator, especially electrical components, thus improving the machine's durability and extending its service life.

[0032] like Figure 2 and Figure 9 As shown, in some embodiments, the air outlet component 2 is located at the center of the top of the body 1. The air outlet component 2 has an air outlet cavity 22; at least a portion of the air duct is disposed within the air outlet cavity 22. Specifically, the airflow direction within the air duct can be determined by referring to… Figure 6 The airflow direction is F. The air duct assembly 5 may include multiple side plates, and the multiple side plates are spliced ​​to form an air duct structure. The air duct structure is provided with an air duct plate 511, which extends into the air outlet cavity 22 and forms a curved air duct within the air outlet cavity 22. By adopting the above solution, by extending the air duct plate 511 on the air duct structure into the air outlet cavity 22 to form a curved air duct, the airflow within the air duct structure can be effectively guided directly to the air outlet, preventing the airflow within the air duct structure from flowing away along other gaps in the body 1, thereby improving the air outlet efficiency.

[0033] like Figure 2-5 As shown, in some embodiments, the air duct plate 511 is disposed on the rear side plate 51 of the air duct structure, and an inclined structure or an arc-shaped structure is formed between the air duct plate 511 and the rear side plate 51, so that the airflow in the air duct structure can efficiently enter the curved air duct along the inclined structure or the arc-shaped structure.

[0034] like Figures 4 to 6As shown, in some embodiments, the multiple side panels of the air duct structure of this application may include a rear side panel 51, a front side panel 52, a left side panel 53, and a right side panel 54; wherein, one side of the rear side panel 51 is connected to one side of the left side panel 53, the other side of the rear side panel 51 is connected to one side of the right side panel 54, one side of the front side panel 52 is connected to the other side of the left side panel 53, and the other side of the front side panel 52 is connected to the other side of the right side panel 54, thereby forming a hollow air duct structure.

[0035] like Figure 1-2 , Figure 9 As shown, in some embodiments, one side of the air outlet component 2 is an upwardly inclined surface, and an air outlet 21 is provided on the inclined surface. The air outlet 21 is connected to the air duct. This design allows the airflow from the air outlet 21 to blow more towards the human body, improving the product's user experience.

[0036] like Figure 2-5 As shown, in some embodiments, the air conditioner proposed in this application further includes a heating element 9, which is disposed within the air duct assembly and used to heat the airflow passing through the air duct assembly. Further, the body 1 includes a housing, which includes a front housing 4, a rear housing 12, a left housing plate 13, and a right housing plate 14; the rear housing 12 is also provided with a rear cover plate 11, which has multiple air inlets; the top of the front housing 4 is provided with an operation panel 41, which has operation buttons; the upper end of the front side of the front housing 4 is provided with a light display window 42, and the lower end of the front side of the front housing 4 is provided with a water level display window 43. Further, multiple side plates of the air duct structure are respectively disposed on the inner side wall of the housing and can be connected to the housing by clips or screws. A fixing plate 55 is provided on the side plate of the air duct assembly, and the heating element 9 can be disposed on the fixing plate 55. Specifically, both ends of the heating element 9 are fixed to the fixing plate 55 by screws, and the fixing plate 55 can prevent the heating element 9 from falling off, ensuring a more secure installation.

[0037] like Figure 2 and Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the fan assembly 6 includes a drive motor 61, a fan impeller 62, a lower fan cover 63, and a higher fan cover 64; the upper fan cover 64 is disposed on a side plate; the drive motor 61 is disposed on the upper fan cover 64 and is connected to the fan impeller 62 in a driving connection; the fan impeller 62 is disposed between the upper fan cover 64 and the lower fan cover 63, and the lower fan cover 63 is also connected to the upper fan cover 64. The upper fan cover 64 and the lower fan cover 63 are provided with multiple through holes for convection.

[0038] like Figure 8-9As shown, in some embodiments, an air guide assembly 3 is provided on the air outlet 21 to guide the airflow, allowing it to be directed more comfortably towards the human body. Specifically, the air guide assembly 3 includes multiple oscillating blades 31 and an air guide motor 32; the multiple oscillating blades 31 are rotatably mounted on the air outlet 21 to adjust the direction of the airflow; the multiple oscillating blades 31 are connected by a connecting mechanism to achieve overall linkage. The air guide motor 32 is mounted on a motor support 36 and is connected to the connecting mechanism to drive the multiple oscillating blades 31 to rotate. Specifically, the connecting mechanism includes a rotating member 34 and a connecting member 35. One side of the connecting member 35 is connected to the oscillating blade 31 by screws, and the other side of the connecting member 35 is connected to the rotating member 34 by a rotating shaft. The output shaft of the air guide motor 32 is connected to the rotating member 34 to drive the rotating member 34 to rotate, thereby causing the rotating member 34 to drive the oscillating blades 31 to rotate through the connecting member 35, thus achieving adjustment of the blowing angle. A sway blade buckle 33 is provided on both sides inside the air outlet 21. The sway blade buckle 33 is provided with a slot, and the two ends of the sway blade 31 are respectively rotatably set in the slot of the sway blade buckle 33.

The air conditioner proposed in this application, by sequentially distributing the duct assembly 5, the fan assembly 6, and the humidification component 7 from top to bottom within the body 1, allows the water vapor generated by the humidification component 7 to be drawn upwards to the duct assembly 5 under the airflow generated by the fan assembly 6, and then guided to the air outlet 21 through the duct. The air conditioner designed in this application has a relatively compact overall structure and occupies a small area, making it possible to make the whole structure columnar or tower-shaped, resulting in an aesthetically pleasing and simple appearance.

[0040] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the air conditioner provided in this application further includes a water tank 8, which is disposed inside the body 1 and located at the lower end of the humidification component 7, for providing water to the humidification component 7. Furthermore, a water inlet is provided on one side of the top of the body 1, which is connected to the water tank 8 via a water inlet pipe.

[0041] The air conditioner proposed in this application has the following technical advantages:

[0042] First, the air conditioner proposed in this application has an independently detachable air outlet component on the top of the unit, which allows for flexible design of the air outlet position, enabling users to more intuitively feel the airflow effect and improve the user experience.
