[0069] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0070] The following is for reference. Figures 1-25 This invention describes an air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0071] Reference Figures 1-5 According to an embodiment of the present invention, an air conditioner includes a housing assembly 10, a heat exchange and air supply assembly 20, an air handling module, and a functional component 30. The housing assembly 10 has an air inlet structure and an air outlet structure. The heat exchange and air supply assembly 20 is disposed within the housing assembly 10 and includes a heat exchanger assembly and an air duct assembly 201. The air handling module is disposed within the housing and has an air inlet and an air outlet. For example, the air handling module includes at least one of fresh air, purification, and humidification functions. The functional component 30 is disposed within the housing assembly 10 and includes a guide component 3 and a light-emitting module 4. The guide component 3 is installed on the housing assembly 10 and is used to guide the airflow discharged from the air outlet to the air outlet structure. The light-emitting module 4 is installed on the guide component 3.

[0072] For example, when the air conditioner is working, the air duct assembly 201 can drive the airflow outside the air conditioner into the casing assembly 10 and flow toward the heat exchanger assembly. After heat exchange by the heat exchanger assembly, the airflow flows toward the air outlet structure and is blown out of the air outlet mechanism to cool or heat the room. In addition, the air handling module can drive the airflow outside the air conditioner into the air handling module through the air inlet. After being processed by the air handling module, the airflow flows toward the air outlet, and is then guided to the air outlet structure by the guide component 3 and blown out of the air outlet mechanism to the room.

[0073] The functional component 30 is housed within the housing assembly 10 and includes an airflow guide 3 and a light-emitting module 4. The light-emitting module 4 can be used to realize the display function of the air conditioner, making it convenient for users to view the operating mode of the air conditioner. For example, the color change of the light-emitting module 4 corresponds to the current operating mode of the air conditioner, and can provide relevant information about the air conditioner to the user. The airflow guide 3 can guide the airflow processed by the air handling module, so that the airflow processed by the air handling module flows more smoothly along the preset path to the air outlet structure, and is blown into the room through the air outlet structure.

[0074] By mounting the light-emitting module 4 on the flow-guiding component 3, and the flow-guiding component 3 on the housing assembly 10, it is convenient to assemble the light-emitting module 4 and the flow-guiding component 3 on the housing assembly 10, thereby improving the assembly efficiency of the light-emitting module 4 and the flow-guiding component 3 on the housing assembly 10.

[0075] For example, the assembly process of functional component 30 on housing component 10 can be as follows: first, install the light-emitting module 4 onto the flow guiding component 3, and then assemble the light-emitting module 4 and the flow guiding component 3 as a whole onto housing component 10. This can realize the assembly process of assembling the light-emitting module 4 and the flow guiding component 3 into a whole and then installing them onto housing component 10.

[0076] By pre-assembling the light-emitting module 4 and the flow-guiding component 3 into a whole, and then installing the light-emitting module 4 and the flow-guiding component 3 onto the housing assembly 10, the operation steps of assembling the light-emitting module 4 and the flow-guiding component 3 onto the housing assembly 10 can be simplified, the assembly time of the light-emitting module 4 and the flow-guiding component 3 on the housing assembly 10 can be reduced, and the assembly efficiency can be improved.

[0077] According to the embodiment of the present invention, the air conditioner integrates the light-emitting module 4 in the functional component 30 with the air-guiding component 3, and the air-guiding component 3 with the housing component 10, thereby simplifying the operation steps of assembling the light-emitting module 4 and the air-guiding component 3 onto the housing component 10, reducing the assembly time of the light-emitting module 4 and the air-guiding component 3 on the housing component 10, and improving the assembly efficiency.

[0078] Reference Figures 15-18 According to some embodiments of the present invention, the light-emitting module 4 and the flow-guiding component 3 are detachably connected, which facilitates the maintenance or replacement of the light-emitting module 4 or the flow-guiding component 3.

[0079] Reference Figures 15-18 According to some embodiments of the present invention, the light-emitting module 4 and the flow-guiding component 3 are snap-fitted together, which can realize the detachable connection between the light-emitting module 4 and the flow-guiding component 3. The snap-fit ​​connection between the light-emitting module 4 and the flow-guiding component 3 can make the connection between the light-emitting module 4 and the flow-guiding component 3 simple and have strong stability.

[0080] Reference Figures 17-20 According to some embodiments of the present invention, the airflow guiding component 3 includes a connected airflow guiding frame 31 and a mounting frame 32. The airflow guiding frame 31 is used to guide the airflow discharged from the airflow outlet to the air outlet structure. The mounting frame 32 has a mounting cavity 321, in which at least a portion of the light-emitting module 4 is accommodated. The accommodating of at least a portion of the light-emitting module 4 within the mounting cavity 321 can include the following: for example, a portion of the light-emitting module 4 may be accommodated within the mounting cavity 321; or, for another example, the entire light-emitting module 4 may be accommodated within the mounting cavity 321.

[0081] The airflow guide frame 31 can guide the airflow, allowing the airflow discharged from the airflow outlet to flow smoothly along the preset path to the air outlet structure and be blown into the room by the air outlet mechanism. The mounting frame 32 can provide some support and protection for the light-emitting module 4, reducing the possibility of damage to the light-emitting module 4 due to external impact. The mounting cavity 321 can facilitate the assembly of the light-emitting module 4 on the airflow guide component 3, and can also make the overall structure of the light-emitting module 4 and the airflow guide component 3 more compact.

[0082] Reference Figures 17-20According to some embodiments of the present invention, the light-emitting module 4 includes a light-emitting lamp body 41, which is housed in a mounting cavity 321. The mounting cavity 321 has a light-emitting port 3211. The light-emitting port 3211 of the mounting cavity 321 allows the light emitted by the light-emitting lamp body 41 to propagate smoothly, and can reduce the obstruction of the light emitted by the light-emitting module 4 by the mounting frame 32.

[0083] Reference Figures 15-18 According to some embodiments of this utility model, the light-emitting lamp body 41 is provided with a first buckle 411, and the mounting frame 32 is formed with a first slot 322. The first buckle 411 and the first slot 322 are snapped together. The snap-fit ​​connection between the first buckle 411 and the first slot 322 can realize the detachable connection between the light-emitting lamp body 41 and the mounting frame 32, and can also make the connection between the light-emitting lamp body 41 and the mounting frame 32 simple and have strong stability.

[0084] For example, there are multiple first buckles 411, which are located in the front and rear directions of the light-emitting lamp body 41 respectively. There are multiple first slots 322, which are the same number as the first buckles 411 and correspond one-to-one, which can further enhance the connection strength between the light-emitting lamp body 41 and the mounting frame 32.

[0085] In the description of this utility model, "multiple" means two or more.

[0086] Reference Figure 17 , Figure 18 , Figure 22 and Figure 23 According to some embodiments of this utility model, the light-emitting lamp body 41 includes a lamp body main body 412 and a mounting flange 413. The mounting flange 413 is connected to the outer periphery of the lamp body main body 412. The inner peripheral wall of the mounting cavity 321 forms a first limiting step surface 3212. The mounting flange 413 is located on the side of the first limiting step surface 3212 near the light outlet 3211 and abuts against the first limiting step surface 3212. The abutting connection between the mounting flange 413 and the first limiting step surface 3212 can play a positioning role for the assembly of the light-emitting lamp body 41 on the mounting frame 32, so that the light-emitting lamp body 41 can be installed more accurately in the preset position of the mounting frame 32. For example, when the light-emitting lamp body 41 is pushed into the mounting cavity 321, the abutting connection between the mounting flange 413 and the first limiting step surface 3212 can prevent the light-emitting lamp body 41 from being pushed too far into the mounting cavity 321 and damaging the light-emitting lamp body 41.

[0087] Reference Figures 18-23According to some embodiments of the present invention, the inner wall of the mounting cavity 321 includes a first side wall 3213 and a second side wall 3215 arranged opposite to each other in the left-right direction. The first side wall 3213 is provided with a first anti-mistake rib 3214, and the second side wall 3215 is provided with a second anti-mistake rib 3216. The first anti-mistake rib 3214 and the second anti-mistake rib 3216 are respectively located on opposite sides of the lamp body 412 in the left-right direction, and both the first anti-mistake rib 3214 and the second anti-mistake rib 3216 abut against the lamp body 412. The width dimensions of the first anti-mistake rib 3214 and the second anti-mistake rib 3216 are different in the left-right direction. The width of the first anti-mistake rib 3214 in the left-right direction is L1, and the width of the second anti-mistake rib 3216 in the left-right direction is L2. L1 and L2 satisfy L1≠L2. By using the different width dimensions of the first anti-mistake rib 3214 and the second anti-mistake rib 3216 in the left-right direction, the assembly of the light-emitting lamp body 41 on the mounting frame 32 can be positioned, so that the assembly position of the light-emitting lamp body 41 on the mounting frame 32 is accurate. For example, when the light-emitting lamp body 41 is pushed into the mounting cavity 321 in the wrong installation direction, the lamp body 412 will not be able to be pushed inward due to the limitation of the width dimensions of the first anti-mistake rib 3214 and the second anti-mistake rib 3216, so that the assembly position of the lamp body 412 on the mounting frame 32 is accurate.

[0088] In addition, the two anti-fouling ribs abut against the lamp body 412, which can limit the lamp body 412 in the left and right directions, preventing the lamp body 412 from shaking in the left and right directions in the mounting cavity 321. This can reduce or avoid the impact of external force impact or air conditioner vibration on the lamp body 412, and thus reduce the possibility of light deviation caused by the shaking of the lamp body 412.

[0089] Reference Figures 15-17 According to some embodiments of this utility model, the light-emitting module 4 further includes a light guide cover 42, which covers the light outlet 3211 and is connected to the mounting frame 32. The light guide cover 42 is transparent, allowing light to pass through, and it guides the light emitted from the light-emitting lamp body 41, making the light more effectively emitted from the light outlet 3211 for easy viewing of relevant information. Furthermore, the light guide cover 42 also protects the light-emitting lamp body 41, preventing dust, moisture, and other external impurities from directly contacting it, thus reducing damage. The connection between the light guide cover 42 and the mounting frame 32 facilitates the assembly and disassembly of the light guide cover 42.

[0090] Reference Figures 15-17According to some embodiments of this utility model, the light guide cover 42 is provided with a second slot 421, and the outer periphery of the mounting frame 32 is provided with a second buckle 323, which is snapped into the second slot 421. The snap-fit ​​connection between the second buckle 323 and the second slot 421 enables a detachable connection between the light guide cover 42 and the mounting frame 32, and also simplifies the connection between the light guide cover 42 and the mounting frame 32 while providing strong stability.

[0091] For example, there are multiple second slots 421, which are located in the front and rear directions of the light guide cover 42 respectively. There are multiple second buckles 323, which are the same number as the second slots 421 and correspond one-to-one, which can further enhance the connection strength between the light guide cover 42 and the mounting frame 32.

[0092] Reference Figure 15 , Figure 16 , Figure 22 , Figure 24 and Figure 25 According to some embodiments of this utility model, the inner wall of the light guide cover 42 is formed with a second limiting step surface 422, which abuts against the light-emitting side of the mounting frame 32. The abutting connection between the mounting frame 32 and the second limiting step surface 422 can play a positioning role for the assembly of the light guide cover 42 on the mounting frame 32, so that the light guide cover 42 can be installed more accurately in the preset position of the mounting frame 32. For example, when the light guide cover 42 is pushed into the mounting cavity 321, the abutting connection between the mounting frame 32 and the second limiting step surface 422 can prevent the light guide cover 42 from being pushed too far into the mounting cavity 321 and damaging the light-emitting lamp body 41.

[0093] Reference Figure 15 , Figure 16 , Figure 24 and Figure 25According to some embodiments of the present invention, the mounting frame 32 is provided with a first anti-mistake insert 324 and a second anti-mistake insert 325 at both ends along the left and right directions, and the light guide cover 42 is provided with a first anti-mistake slot 423 and a second anti-mistake slot 424 on opposite sides along the left and right directions, respectively. The first anti-mistake insert 324 is inserted into the first anti-mistake slot 423, and the second anti-mistake insert 325 is inserted into the second anti-mistake slot 424. The thickness of the first anti-mistake insert 324 in the front-back direction is greater than the thickness of the second anti-mistake slot 424 in the front-back direction. The first anti-mistake insert 324 is inserted into the first anti-mistake slot 423, and the second anti-mistake insert 325 is inserted into the second anti-mistake slot 424. The first anti-mistake insert 324 and the second anti-mistake insert 325 have different thicknesses in the front-to-back direction. This can play a positioning role in the assembly of the light guide cover 42 on the mounting frame 32, so that the assembly position of the light guide cover 42 on the mounting frame 32 is accurate. For example, when the light guide cover 42 is pushed into the mounting cavity 321 in the wrong installation direction, the light guide cover 42 will not be able to be inserted into the anti-mistake slot due to the limitation of the thicknesses of the first anti-mistake insert 324 and the second anti-mistake insert 325 in the front-to-back direction. This can make the assembly position of the light guide cover 42 on the mounting frame 32 accurate.

[0094] Reference Figure 24 and Figure 25 According to some embodiments of the present invention, at least a portion of the outer surface of the light guide cover 42 is frosted. For example, the light-emitting lamp body 41 includes multiple lamp beads. By making at least a portion of the outer surface of the light guide cover 42 frosted, the lamp beads can be effectively prevented from shining through, which can reduce local strong light and improve the overall visual effect, thereby enhancing the user experience.

[0095] Reference Figure 18 According to some embodiments of this utility model, the flow guiding component 3 is provided with a wiring structure 33, and the light-emitting module 4 is connected to a light-emitting wire bundle 414, which is adapted to run along the wiring structure 33. For example, the light-emitting lamp body 41 of the light-emitting module 4 is connected to the light-emitting wire bundle 414, and the wiring structure 33 can guide the light-emitting wire bundle 414 to be arranged according to a set path, avoiding the light-emitting wire bundle 414 from getting tangled with other wire bundles, which facilitates later maintenance and troubleshooting.

[0096] Reference Figures 19-23 According to some embodiments of the present invention, the flow guiding component 3 is an integrally molded part, which can make the flow guiding component 3 as a whole have strong structural strength. For example, the flow guiding component 3 includes a flow guiding frame 31 and a mounting frame 32. The flow guiding frame 31 and the mounting frame 32 are integrally molded, which can eliminate the assembly process between the flow guiding frame 31 and the mounting frame 32.

[0097] Reference Figures 19-23According to some embodiments of the present invention, the flow guiding component 3 is detachably connected to the housing assembly 10. When the light-emitting module 4 or the flow guiding component 3 needs maintenance or replacement, the light-emitting module 4 and the flow guiding component 3 can be removed from the housing assembly 10 simply by removing the flow guiding component 3, which reduces disassembly time and facilitates the maintenance or replacement of the light-emitting module 4 and the flow guiding component 3.

[0098] Reference Figures 1-4 According to some embodiments of the present invention, the housing assembly 10 includes a main housing assembly 1 and a front panel assembly 2. The front panel assembly 2 is connected to the front end of the main housing assembly 1, and the airflow guide 3 is installed on the rear side of the front panel assembly 2. By installing the airflow guide 3 on the rear side of the front panel assembly 2, the front panel assembly 2 can provide a certain degree of protection for the airflow guide 3, preventing the airflow guide 3 from being damaged by external impacts.

[0099] Reference Figures 8-12 According to some embodiments of the present invention, a mounting groove 26 is formed on the rear side of the front panel assembly 2, and the flow guiding component 3 is installed in the mounting groove 26. The mounting groove 26 facilitates the assembly of the flow guiding component 3 on the front panel assembly 2, and makes the overall structure of the flow guiding component 3 and the front panel assembly 2 compact.

[0100] Reference Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 11 and Figure 12 According to some embodiments of this utility model, the inner circumferential wall of the mounting groove 26 is provided with multiple limiting buckles. These limiting buckles are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the mounting groove 26, and abut against the rear side of the guide component 3 to limit the guide component 3 in the front-rear direction. The multiple limiting buckles arranged at intervals along the circumference of the mounting groove 26 provide multiple positioning reference points for the assembly of the guide component 3 on the front panel assembly 2, enabling the guide component 3 to be more accurately inserted into the preset position within the mounting groove 26 during installation. The abutment of the limiting buckles against the rear side of the guide component 3 limits its position in the front-rear direction, reducing the possibility of movement or loosening. Furthermore, the multiple limiting buckles arranged at intervals along the axial direction of the mounting groove 26 further enhance the limiting effect on the guide component 3, strengthening the connection stability between the guide component 3 and the front panel assembly 2.

[0101] Reference Figures 4-6According to some embodiments of the present invention, the multiple limiting buckles include a first limiting buckle 261 and a second limiting buckle 262. The first limiting buckle 261 is located on the upper side wall of the mounting groove 26, and the second limiting buckle 262 is located on the lower side wall of the mounting groove 26. The upper side wall of the mounting groove 26 is also provided with a limiting rib 263, which abuts against the upper side of the flow guide component 3 to limit the flow guide component 3 in the vertical direction. With the first limiting buckle 261 located on the upper side wall of the mounting groove 26 and the second limiting buckle 262 located on the lower side wall of the mounting groove 26, the flow guide component 3 can be limited in both the upper and lower sides in the front-back direction. In addition, the limiting rib 263 on the upper side wall can limit the flow guide component 3 in the vertical direction. With the first limiting buckle 261 on the upper side wall of the mounting groove 26, the second limiting buckle 262 on the lower side wall of the mounting groove 26, and the limiting rib 263 on the upper side wall of the mounting groove 26, the flow guide component 3 can be supported and limited in both the front-back and vertical directions, which can further enhance the connection stability between the flow guide component 3 and the front panel assembly 2.

[0102] Reference Figures 1-4 According to some embodiments of this utility model, the air handling module is located below the heat exchange and air supply assembly 20, and the functional component 30 is located at the lower end of the front panel assembly 2. By placing the functional component 30 at the lower end of the front panel assembly 2, the distance between the air guiding component 3 in the functional component 30 and the air handling module can be reduced. This also reduces the distance between the air outlet and the air guiding component 3, thereby shortening the airflow path between the air outlet and the air guiding component 3, reducing airflow loss during the flow process, and improving the air outlet efficiency of the air outlet structure.

[0103] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 17 According to some embodiments of this utility model, the airflow guiding component 3 includes a connected airflow guiding frame 31 and a mounting frame 32. The airflow guiding frame 31 is used to guide the airflow discharged from the airflow outlet to the air outlet structure. The light-emitting module 4 is mounted on the mounting frame 32, which is located below the airflow guiding frame 31. A light-transmitting hole 27 is formed at the bottom of the front panel assembly 2, which allows light to pass through the light-emitting module 4. The light-transmitting hole 27 ensures that the light emitted by the light-emitting module 4 can reach the outside of the air conditioner, so that the user can view relevant information of the air conditioner based on the light emitted by the light-emitting module 4. It also makes full use of the space behind the front panel assembly 2, which is beneficial to the layout optimization of the rear of the front panel assembly 2.

[0104] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3According to some embodiments of the present invention, the air inlet structure includes a first air inlet structure 11a and a second air inlet structure, the air outlet structure includes a first air outlet structure and a second air outlet structure, the heat exchange and air supply assembly 20 is used to drive the airflow from the first air inlet structure 11a into the housing assembly 10 for heat exchange and then discharge it from the first air outlet structure, the air handling module is used to drive the airflow from the second air inlet structure into the air handling module, the first air inlet structure 11a and the second air inlet structure are disposed on the main housing assembly 1, at least part of the first air outlet structure is disposed on the main housing assembly 1, and the second air outlet structure is disposed on the front panel assembly 2.

[0105] For example, the first air intake structure 11a may include an indoor air intake that communicates with the room, and a fresh air inlet that communicates with the outside. When the air conditioner is working, the heat exchange and air supply assembly 20 drives the airflow through the first air intake structure 11a into the casing assembly 10. The airflow after heat exchange by the heat exchange and air supply assembly 20 is discharged from the first air outlet structure. In addition, the air handling module drives the airflow through the second air intake structure into the air handling module through the airflow inlet. The airflow after processing by the air handling module flows out through the airflow outlet. The guide component 3 guides the airflow flowing out of the airflow outlet to the air outlet structure, and then discharges it from the air outlet structure to the outside of the air conditioner.

[0106] By cooperating with the first air inlet structure 11a, the first air outlet structure and the heat exchange and air supply assembly 20, and with the second air inlet structure, the second air outlet structure and the air handling module, the functional zoning of the air conditioner is realized. The heat exchange and air supply assembly 20 performs heat exchange treatment on the airflow. The heat exchange and air supply assembly 20 drives the airflow from the first air inlet structure 11a into the casing assembly 10 to complete the heat exchange and then discharge it from the first air outlet structure, ensuring the high efficiency and stability of the heat exchange process. The air handling module performs purification, dehumidification and other treatments on the air. This functional zoning and the division of independent air inlet and air outlet structures effectively avoids airflow interference between different functional modules.

[0107] Furthermore, the first air intake structure 11a and the second air intake structure are located on the main housing assembly 1, at least part of the first air outlet structure is located on the main housing assembly 1, and the second air outlet structure is located on the front panel assembly 2. This layout fully considers the utilization of the internal space of the housing assembly 10 and the positional relationship between the components. Concentrating the air intake structure on the main housing assembly 1 is beneficial for the concentrated introduction and distribution of air. The first air outlet structure is partially located on the main housing assembly 1, and the air outlet path can be reasonably planned according to the internal structure and heat exchange requirements of the air conditioner. For example, the first air outlet mechanism includes two air outlets arranged in the left and right directions, which can give the air conditioner a wider air outlet angle. The second air outlet structure is located on the front panel assembly 2, which can make the airflow blown from the second air outlet mechanism closer to the front center of the air conditioner, so that this part of the airflow can be blown directly to the user's area, improving the user's experience.

[0108] Reference Figures 1-4 According to some embodiments of the present invention, the flow guiding component 3 includes a flow guiding frame 31 and a mounting frame 32 connected together. The light-emitting module 4 is mounted on the mounting frame 32, which is located below the flow guiding frame 31. The flow guiding frame 31 forms a flow guiding channel 311, a flow guiding inlet 313, and a flow guiding outlet 312. The flow guiding channel 311 connects the flow guiding inlet 313 and the flow guiding outlet 312. The flow guiding inlet 313 is opposite to and connected to the airflow outlet, and the flow guiding outlet 312 is opposite to and connected to the second air outlet structure.

[0109] By connecting the airflow inlet 313 to the airflow outlet and the airflow channel 311 to the airflow outlet 312, it is ensured that the airflow discharged from the airflow outlet smoothly enters the airflow channel 311. By connecting the airflow outlet 312 to the second air outlet structure, the airflow guided by the airflow component 3 can be accurately guided to the second air outlet structure. This allows the airflow to flow more smoothly along the predetermined path, and the airflow processed by the air handling module can be blown towards the front center of the air conditioner, thereby effectively improving the user experience.

[0110] Reference Figures 1-4 According to some embodiments of this utility model, the second air outlet structure includes two second air outlets 252, which are distributed at the left and right ends of the front panel assembly 2. There are two guide outlets 312, located at the left and right ends of the guide component 3. The guide outlet 312 located on the same side in the left-right direction is opposite to and connected to the corresponding second air outlet 252. By having the guide outlet 312 located on the same side in the left-right direction opposite to and connected to the corresponding second air outlet 252, the airflow blown from the guide outlet 312 can be directed to exit through the second air outlet 252.

[0111] With two second air outlets 252 distributed at the left and right ends of the front panel assembly 2, and corresponding to and connected to the guide outlets 312 at the left and right ends of the guide component 3, the air outlet area of ​​the air processed by the air handling module can be increased, and efficient airflow transmission can be achieved. This provides a direct and clear channel for the airflow, allowing the airflow from the guide outlet 312 to be quickly and smoothly blown out to the outside of the air conditioner through the corresponding second air outlets 252, thereby improving the air outlet efficiency of the second air outlet structure.

[0112] Reference Figures 17-22According to some embodiments of this utility model, there are two guide channels 311 arranged side by side. The air outlet side of each guide channel 311 forms a guide outlet 312. The inner walls of the two guide channels 311 adjacent to each other are formed with guide surfaces 314, which extend obliquely from back to front. The oblique extension of the guide surfaces 314 from back to front can guide the airflow in the guide channel 311 toward the guide outlet 312, so that the airflow flows more smoothly and accurately toward the guide outlet 312, avoiding the airflow from being dispersed to other unnecessary directions, thereby improving the utilization rate of the airflow.

[0113] Reference Figures 1-4 According to some embodiments of the present invention, there are two first air outlet structures arranged on the left and right sides. Each first air outlet structure includes a main air outlet 13 and a secondary air outlet 251. The main air outlets 13 of the two first air outlet structures are located on the left and right sides of the front panel assembly 2, and the secondary air outlets 251 of the two first air outlet structures are located at the left and right ends of the front panel assembly 2 and are located above the second air outlet 252. A main air duct 12a is formed inside the housing assembly 10. The main air duct 12a connects the first air inlet structure 11a and the main air outlet 13. The front panel assembly 2 has a secondary air duct, which connects the main air duct 12a and the secondary air outlet 251.

[0114] When the air conditioner is working, the air duct assembly 201 can drive the airflow through the first air inlet structure 11a into the interior of the casing assembly 10 and flow toward the heat exchanger assembly. After heat exchange by the heat exchanger assembly, the airflow flows to the main air duct 12a. The airflow after heat exchange in the main air duct 12a can flow out to the room through the two main air outlets 13 to regulate the indoor temperature. The two main air outlets 13 can increase the air outlet area of ​​the air conditioner, which is beneficial to improve the air outlet efficiency of the air conditioner and can also make the air outlet angle of the air conditioner wider to cover more indoor areas.

[0115] The front panel assembly 2 has a secondary air outlet 251 and a secondary air duct, with the secondary air duct connecting the main air duct 12a and the secondary air outlet 251. This allows at least a portion of the airflow after heat exchange in the main air duct 12a to be blown out of the room through the secondary air outlet 251. Furthermore, since the front panel assembly 2 is located on the front side of the housing assembly 10 and the two main air outlets 13 are located on the left and right sides of the front panel assembly 2, the air blown out of the secondary air outlet 251 can be closer to the front center of the air conditioner. This can effectively regulate the temperature in front of the air conditioner, enhance the uniformity of the indoor temperature, and thus improve the user experience.

[0116] For example, a secondary air inlet is formed on the side of the front panel assembly 2 facing the main air duct 12a. The secondary air inlet connects the main air duct 12a and the secondary air duct, which can realize the connection between the main air duct 12a and the secondary air duct, so that the airflow in the main air duct 12a can flow smoothly through the secondary air inlet to the secondary air duct, and blown to the front center of the air conditioner through the secondary air outlet 251.

[0117] Reference Figures 1-4 According to some embodiments of the present invention, the front panel assembly 2 includes a front panel component 23 and a front air outlet frame 21. The front panel component 23 is detachably connected to the front side of the front air outlet frame 21. A guide component 3 is disposed on the front panel component 23. The front panel component 23 and the front air outlet frame 21 together define a secondary air duct. The secondary air outlet 251 and the second air outlet 252 are both formed on the front panel component 23. By detachably connecting the front panel component 23 to the front side of the front air outlet frame 21, it is convenient to maintain or replace the front panel component 23 or the front air outlet frame 21.

[0118] Both the secondary air outlet 251 and the second air outlet 252 are formed on the front panel component 23, and the front panel component 23 and the front air outlet frame 21 together define the secondary air duct, making the airflow smoother and reducing the resistance of the airflow during the flow process. For example, the airflow path can be: at least part of the airflow in the main channel flows into the secondary air duct, and then blows towards the front center of the air conditioner through the secondary air outlet 251; the guide component 3 guides at least part of the airflow after it has been processed by the air handling module, so that this part of the airflow is blown from the second air outlet 252 towards the front center of the air conditioner.

Furthermore, since the front panel assembly 2 is located on the front side of the housing assembly 10 and the two main air outlets 13 are located on the left and right sides of the front panel assembly 2, the air blown out of the secondary air outlet 251 can be closer to the front center of the air conditioner.

[0137] The air handling module drives the airflow to enter the air handling module through the air inlet from the second air intake structure. The airflow processed by the air handling module flows out through the air outlet. The guide component 3 guides the airflow from the air outlet to the second air outlet 252, and then blows it out from the second air outlet 252 to the central part in front of the air conditioner.

[0138] The assembly process of functional component 30 on housing component 10 can be as follows: first, install the light-emitting module 4 onto the flow guiding component 3, and then assemble the light-emitting module 4 and the flow guiding component 3 as a whole onto housing component 10. This can realize the assembly process of assembling the light-emitting module 4 and the flow guiding component 3 into a whole and then installing them onto housing component 10.

[0139] By pre-assembling the light-emitting module 4 and the flow-guiding component 3 into a whole, and then installing the light-emitting module 4 and the flow-guiding component 3 onto the housing assembly 10, the operation steps of assembling the light-emitting module 4 and the flow-guiding component 3 onto the housing assembly 10 can be simplified, the assembly time of the light-emitting module 4 and the flow-guiding component 3 on the housing assembly 10 can be reduced, and the assembly efficiency can be improved. Furthermore, since the flow-guiding component 3 is detachably connected to the housing assembly 10, when the light-emitting module 4 or the flow-guiding component 3 needs to be maintained or replaced, it is only necessary to remove the flow-guiding component 3 from the housing assembly 10, so that the light-emitting module 4 and the flow-guiding component 3 can be removed from the housing assembly 10, reducing the disassembly time and facilitating the maintenance or replacement of the light-emitting module 4 and the flow-guiding component 3.
