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 intended to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0035] The following disclosure provides numerous different embodiments or examples for implementing various structures of the present invention. To simplify the disclosure, specific examples of components and arrangements are described below. These are merely examples and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention. Furthermore, reference numerals and / or letters may be repeated in different examples. Such repetition is for simplification and clarity and does not in itself indicate a relationship between the various embodiments and / or arrangements discussed. In addition, examples of various specific processes and materials are provided in this invention; however, those skilled in the art will recognize the applicability of other processes and / or the use of other materials.

[0036] The air conditioner 100 of this utility model is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0037] According to the embodiment of the present utility model, the air conditioner 100, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the air conditioner 100 includes: a housing 1 and a ventilation and heat exchange component 2. The length direction of the housing 1 is vertical. One of the left wall surface 11 and the right wall surface 12 of the housing 1 is a first side wall 1a, and the other is a second side wall 1b. The air outlet 16 of the air conditioner 100 is formed on the first side wall 1a and / or the front wall surface 13 of the housing 1. The intersection of the second side wall 1b with at least one of the rear wall surface 14 and the front wall surface 13 of the housing 1 forms a chamfered corner 15. At least a portion of the air inlet 17 of the air conditioner 100 is formed on the chamfered corner 15. The ventilation and heat exchange component 2 is disposed inside the housing 1 and is used to draw in airflow from the air inlet 17, exchange heat with the airflow, and then send the airflow out from the air outlet 16.

[0038] It is worth noting that the intersection of the second sidewall 1b with at least one of the rear wall surface 14 and the front wall surface 13 of the shell 1 forms a chamfered corner 15. Taking the chamfered corner 15 formed at the intersection of the second sidewall 1b with the rear wall surface 14 of the shell 1 as an example, as follows... Figure 2 As shown, the chamfered corner 15 refers to the first extension line L1 extending in the left and right direction from the last point on the rear wall 14, and the second extension line L2 extending in the front and back direction from the point on the second side wall 1b furthest from the first side wall 1a. The chamfered corner 15 is located on the side closer to the center of the air conditioner 100 at the angle formed by the intersection of the first extension line L1 and the second extension line L2.

[0039] The air conditioner 100 of this utility model embodiment can be used at a corner 200, with the second side wall 1b and the rear wall 14 close to the wall; the air conditioner 100 of this utility model embodiment can also be used close to the wall, with the second side wall 1b close to the wall, or the rear wall 14 close to the wall.

[0040] When used in a corner 200, the rear wall can be set towards the rear wall 201, and the second side wall 1b can be set towards the side wall 202. The air inlet 17 is set on the chamfered corner 15. The gap between the chamfered corner 15 and the corner 200 is large, so the air inlet 17 is not easily blocked by the wall, thus increasing the air intake.

[0041] Optionally, such as Figure 2 As shown, the right wall 12 of the housing 1 is the first side wall 1a, and the left wall 11 of the housing 1 is the second side wall 1b. A chamfered corner 15 is formed at the intersection of the left wall 11 and the front wall 13, and a chamfered corner 15 is also formed at the intersection of the left wall 11 and the rear wall 14. An air inlet 17 is provided at the chamfered corner 15 at the intersection of the left wall 11 and the front wall 13, and an air inlet 17 is also provided at the chamfered corner 15 at the intersection of the left wall 11 and the rear wall 14. The air conditioner 100 is positioned near the left side wall 202 of the corner 200. By forming the chamfered corner 15, the air inlet 17 is positioned on the chamfered corner 15, making it less likely to be blocked by the wall and thus improving the air intake volume.

[0042] Alternatively, the left wall 11 of the housing 1 is the first side wall 1a, the right wall 12 of the housing 1 is the second side wall 1b, the intersection of the right wall 12 and the front wall 13 forms a chamfered corner 15, and the intersection of the right wall 12 and the rear wall 14 forms a chamfered corner 15. The air conditioner is installed on the right side wall 202 near the corner 200. By forming the chamfered corner 15, the air inlet 17 is set on the chamfered corner 15, and the air inlet 17 is not easily blocked by the wall, which is conducive to improving the air intake volume.

[0043] Optionally, an air outlet 16 is provided on the first side wall 1a; or, alternatively, an air outlet 16 is provided on the front wall surface 13; or, even more alternatively, both the first side wall 1a and the front wall surface 13 are provided with air outlets 16.

[0044] By forming an air outlet 16 on the first sidewall 1a and / or the front wall surface 13 of the housing 1, and the air outlet 16 being far away from the rear wall 201 and / or the sidewall 202, the problem of return air short circuit is less likely to occur, and the air volume loss can be reduced.

[0045] Ventilation and heat exchange component 2 is used to provide airflow. It draws in air from the air inlet 17 and then sends the air out from the air outlet 16. Figure 2As shown, the dotted line with arrows indicates the direction of airflow; the ventilation and heat exchange component 2 also exchanges heat with the airflow, and sends the heat-exchanged airflow out from the air outlet 16 to regulate the indoor temperature.

[0046] When the air conditioner 100 according to the present utility model is used in a corner 200, the rear wall can be set towards the rear wall 201, and the second side wall 1b can be set towards the side wall 202. The air inlet 17 is set on the chamfered corner 15, so that the air inlet 17 is not easily blocked by the wall, which is conducive to increasing the air intake.

[0047] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 2 As shown, the chamfered corner 15 is formed into an arc-shaped corner. When the air conditioner 100 is used in the corner 200, the arc-shaped corner has a larger gap with the wall compared to the beveled corner, which is more conducive to airflow; and the arc-shaped corner forms a smooth curved surface on the housing 1, which, compared to forming a straight angle on the housing 1, can reduce the injury caused by the air conditioner colliding with the user, and can improve the safety of the air conditioner 100.

[0048] In some other embodiments of this utility model, the chamfered corner 15 can also be a slanted chamfer, and the air inlet 17 is set on the chamfered corner 15. The arrangement of the grille and filter at the air inlet 17 is relatively simple, which can improve manufacturing and assembly efficiency.

[0049] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the housing 1 includes a front panel 31 and a side front grille 32. The side front grille 32 is disposed on the side of the front panel 31 away from the first sidewall 1a. At least a portion of the front wall surface 13 is defined by the front panel 31. At least a portion of the chamfered corner 15 located at the intersection of the second sidewall 1b and the front wall surface 13 is defined by the side front grille 32.

[0050] The side front grille 32 defines a chamfered corner 15 at the intersection of the second side wall 1b and the front wall surface 13. An air inlet 17 is formed on the side front grille 32, and airflow enters the air conditioner 100 through the grille gaps of the side front grille 32. By setting the side front grille 32, the air inlet 17 can be blocked, preventing users from putting their hands into the air conditioner 100 through the air inlet 17, reducing the possibility of users directly contacting the live components inside the air conditioner 100, and improving safety.

[0051] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 4As shown, the front panel 31 is formed as a flat plate structure, and the side front grille 32 defines a chamfered corner 15 at the intersection of the second side wall 1b and the front wall surface 13. In the horizontal cross-section of the air conditioner 100, the angle between the line connecting the front end and the rear end of the side front grille 32 and the front panel 31 is the first angle, which is an obtuse angle and the supplementary angle A of the first angle is 40°-60°.

[0052] The front panel 31 is a flat panel structure. The front panel 31 extends in the left and right direction. The front end of the side front grille 32 is close to the first side wall 1a, and the rear end of the side front grille 32 is close to the second side wall 1b. The side front grille 32 gradually extends away from the first side wall 1a in the direction from front to back.

[0053] The line connecting the front and rear ends of the side front grille 32 forms an obtuse angle with the first angle of the front panel 31, and the overall tilt of the side front grille 32 is relatively small in the left and right directions. The sum of the angle of the supplementary angle A of the first angle and the angle of the first angle is 180°. If the supplementary angle A of the first angle is 40°-60°, then the first angle is 120°-140°.

[0054] When the supplementary angle A of the first included angle is too large, the side front grille 32 tends to be a plane that is parallel to the front and rear directions. The gap between the air inlet 17 on the side front grille 32 and the side wall 202 is too small, and the air intake effect of the air inlet 17 is poor. When the supplementary angle A of the first included angle is too small, the side front grille 32 tends to be a plane that is parallel to the left and right directions. The area on the side front grille 32 that can be used to arrange the air inlet 17 is reduced, which will also affect the air intake effect of the air inlet 17.

[0055] Therefore, some embodiments of this utility model limit the supplementary angle A of the first included angle to 40°-60°, which can increase the gap between the air inlet 17 on the side front grille 32 and the side wall 202, and provide a larger area for the air inlet 17 to be arranged, which is conducive to increasing the ventilation area of ​​the air inlet 17 and improving the air intake effect of the air conditioner 100.

[0056] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 5 As shown, the side front grille 32 includes a plurality of vertical grilles 321 extending vertically and arranged in parallel, with grille holes 322 formed between adjacent vertical grilles 321, such as... Figures 6-8 As shown, in the frontal projection of the housing 1, adjacent vertical grilles 321 are stacked to block the grille holes 322.

[0057] The vertical grilles 321 form grille holes 322, through which airflow enters the air conditioner 100. By setting the vertical grilles 321, users can be prevented from putting their hands into the air conditioner 100 through the air inlet 17, thus improving safety.

[0058] It is worth noting that the forward projection direction of the housing 1 refers to the direction perpendicular to the surface of the rear wall 201 when the air conditioner 100 is applied to the corner 200. For example, when the front panel 31 is formed as a flat plate structure, the forward projection direction of the housing 1 is perpendicular to the front panel 31.

[0059] Adjacent vertical grilles 321 are stacked to block the grille hole 322. Between two adjacent vertical grilles 321, the front vertical grille 321 blocks at least a portion of the rear vertical grille 321, thereby blocking the grille hole 322 between the two vertical grilles 321 in the frontal projection direction of the housing 1. The grille hole 322 is not visible from the front to the rear, improving the overall integrity of the air conditioner 100.

[0060] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 6 and Figure 8 As shown, in the front orthographic projection of the housing 1, the distance M between the visible edges of adjacent vertical grilles 321 is 0-10mm. The small distance between adjacent vertical grilles 321 allows the front vertical grille 321 to block the rear vertical grille 321, thus obscuring the grille hole 322 between two adjacent vertical grilles 321. The grille hole 322 is not visible from the front to the rear, improving the overall integrity of the air conditioner 100.

[0061] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 6 As shown, the front panel 31 is formed as a flat plate structure, and the width direction of the vertical grille 321 extends obliquely from front to back in the direction from the second side wall 1b to the first side wall 1a. The angle between the width direction of the vertical grille 321 and the front panel 31 is a second angle B, which is 10°-30°.

[0062] It is worth noting that the width directions of the multiple vertical grids 321 may be different, and the multiple vertical grids 321 together form the chamfered corner 15 at the intersection of the second side wall 1b and the front wall surface 13.

[0063] The second included angle B between the width direction of the vertical grille 321 and the front panel 31 is 10°-30°. This can block the grille hole 322 between two adjacent vertical grilles 321 in the frontal projection direction of the housing 1, improve the overall integrity of the air conditioner 100, and increase the air intake area of ​​the grille hole 322, which is beneficial to increasing the air intake volume.

[0064] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, in the front view of the housing 1, the front surface of the front panel 31 is formed as a corrugated surface, and the orthographic projection of the corrugated surface includes multiple parallel vertical lines.

[0065] On the front view of the housing 1, the orthographic projection of the vertical grille 321 is formed as multiple parallel beams. By designing the front surface of the front panel 31 as a corrugated surface, the orthographic projection of the corrugated surface also forms multiple parallel beams. The front surface and the side front grille 32 are smoothly transitioned, improving the overall integrity of the air conditioner 100.

[0066] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the housing 1 includes a rear side grille 41, which is disposed behind the front side grille 32. At least a portion of the chamfered corner 15 located at the intersection of the second side wall 1b and the rear wall surface 14 is defined by the rear side grille 41.

[0067] The rear side grille 41 defines at least a portion of the chamfered corner 15 at the intersection of the second side wall 1b and the rear wall surface 14. An air outlet 16 is formed on the rear side grille 41, and airflow enters the air conditioner 100 through the grille gaps of the rear side grille 41. By setting the rear side grille 41, the air inlet 17 can be blocked, preventing the user from putting their hand into the air conditioner 100 through the air inlet 17, thus improving safety.

[0068] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 3 As shown, the housing 1 also includes a rear back panel 42, and a side rear grille 41 is disposed on the side of the rear back panel 42 away from the first sidewall 1a.

[0069] Optionally, the rear panel 42 and the side rear grille 41 can be integrally formed to improve structural stability; or alternatively, the rear panel 42 and the side rear grille 41 can also be separate parts to reduce manufacturing difficulty. The rear panel 42 and the side rear grille 41 can be flexibly processed according to actual needs.

[0070] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the front end of the rear side grille 41 is connected to the rear end of the front side grille 32, and the front part of the rear side grille 41 and the rear part of the front side grille 32 form the second sidewall 1b.

[0071] The connection between the front end of the rear side grille 41 and the rear end of the front side grille 32 can increase the area that the air inlet 17 can be arranged, thereby increasing the air intake area and improving the air intake volume of the air conditioner 100.

[0072] Furthermore, the second sidewall 1b is directly composed of the rear side grille 41 and the front side grille 32, which can reduce the structural complexity of the housing 1 and reduce the assembly difficulty.

[0073] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 3As shown, the front side grille 32 and the rear side grille 41 are separate components but are assembled together. Compared to forming the front side grille 32 and the rear side grille 41 into a single molded part, molding the front side grille 32 and the rear side grille 41 separately and then assembling them reduces manufacturing difficulty and saves manufacturing costs.

[0074] Optionally, the side front grille 32 and the front panel 31 are integrally formed to improve structural stability; or alternatively, the side front grille 32 and the front panel 31 are separate assemblies to reduce manufacturing difficulty, and the side front grille 32 and the front panel 31 can be flexibly processed according to actual needs.

[0075] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 4 As shown, the ventilation and heat exchange component 2 includes a heat exchange component 22 and a fan component 21. The heat exchange component 22 is positioned relative to the fan component 21 near the air inlet 17.

[0076] The fan component 21 provides airflow, and the heat exchange component 22 exchanges heat with the airflow to regulate the indoor temperature. The heat exchange component 22 is positioned relative to the fan component 21 near the air inlet 17, which facilitates the centralized arrangement of the heat exchange component 22 and can improve the heat exchange efficiency of the airflow.

[0077] like Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, the dimension of the housing 1 in the front-to-back direction is the thickness of the air conditioner 100, and the dimension of the housing 1 in the left-to-right direction is the width of the air conditioner 100. The thickness of the air conditioner 100 is less than its width. This helps to reduce the overall size of the unit in the front-to-back direction and reduce its floor space. It is worth noting that the length of the housing 1 in the vertical direction is less than or equal to the height of the air conditioner 100, and the width of the air conditioner 100 is less than the length of the housing 1.

[0078] like Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, the connection point between the front end of the rear side grille 41 and the rear end of the front side grille 32 is located at the center of the thickness of the housing 1. The air intake area on the rear side grille 41 and the air intake area on the front side grille 32 are relatively consistent, which helps to improve the air intake effect of the air conditioner 100.

[0079] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 2 As shown, the air conditioner 100 is suitable to be installed at a corner 200, which is defined by a rear wall 201 and a side wall 202. The rear wall surface 14 is positioned relative to the front wall surface 13 and close to the rear wall 201. The second side wall 1b is positioned relative to the first side wall 1a and close to the side wall 202. The air outlet 16 is located at the intersection of the first side wall 1a and the front wall surface 13 of the housing 1.

[0080] The air outlet 16 is positioned 200 degrees away from the corner of the wall. The air outlet 16 can generate airflow from both the side and the front. The dotted lines with arrows in the diagram indicate the direction of airflow. Compared to designs with only front or side airflow, the air conditioner 100 has a larger airflow angle, which improves the airflow effect. Furthermore, the distance between the air inlet 17 and the air outlet 16 is relatively large, reducing the risk of backflow and short-circuiting. The housing 1 also has a larger area for the air inlet 17, increasing the air volume.

[0081] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 2 As shown, the air conditioner 100 also includes a switch door 5, which is located at the air outlet 16 and can selectively open or close the air outlet 16. The switch door 5 has an arc-shaped corner, which can improve the overall integrity of the air conditioner 100.
