Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of soft wind technology, and particularly to soft wind components and air conditioners. Background Technology

[0002] An air conditioner is a household appliance used to improve indoor temperature. It can generally lower the indoor temperature by blowing out air at a suitable temperature according to the user's needs.

[0003] In related technologies, air conditioners typically generate airflow directly through a fan. When this airflow blows onto a user, it can cause significant discomfort. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, this application provides a gentle breeze component and an air conditioner to reduce the discomfort of users being blown by the wind.

[0005] Specifically, the following technical solutions are included:

[0006] The first aspect of this application provides a gentle breeze assembly, the gentle breeze assembly comprising a gentle breeze element and a connecting element, wherein...

[0007] The first end of the connector is connected to the air softener, and the second end is connected to the air conditioner.

[0008] The wind-blowing component includes multiple blades, which are arranged at intervals, and ventilation slits are formed between adjacent blades.

[0009] In some possible implementations, the area of ​​the ventilation slit projected onto the projection plane accounts for 20% to 80% of the area of ​​the flexible element projected onto the projection plane, which is a plane perpendicular to the flow direction of the airflow on the flexible element.

[0010] Due to the obstruction effect of the airflow softener, the airflow from the air conditioner experiences some kinetic energy loss as it passes through it. To reduce the impact of this kinetic energy loss on the air conditioner's performance, the area of ​​the ventilation slit projected onto the projection plane can be set to account for 20% to 80% of the area of ​​the airflow softener projected onto the projection plane. Within this range, the airflow efficiency of the airflow softener can be matched with the resulting kinetic energy loss, meaning that while reducing discomfort from the airflow on the human body, the impact of the kinetic energy loss on the air conditioner's cooling performance is within an acceptable range.

[0011] In some possible implementations, the wind-blowing component includes a support shaft, with a first end of a plurality of blades connected to the shaft body of the support shaft and a second end extending away from the support shaft, the plurality of blades being circumferentially spaced on the support shaft.

[0012] With the above arrangement, the support shaft provides support for the first end of the blade. The second end extends away from the support shaft, allowing the blade as a whole to guide and obstruct airflow. Multiple blades can reduce airflow velocity by guiding airflow to the same position and disrupting the flow of air between them.

[0013] In some possible implementations, the connector includes a frame with a hollow structure, the blades are located inside the frame, and the second end of each blade is connected to the inner side of the frame.

[0014] With the above arrangement, the frame can further improve the structural rigidity of the blade. When the second end of the blade is impacted by the airflow, the force can be transmitted through the frame. At the same time, the first end of the blade is connected to the shaft of the support shaft, which helps the blade maintain a relatively stable shape when impacted by the airflow.

[0015] In some possible implementations, each blade is radially twisted along the support axis, with adjacent blades twisting in the same or opposite directions.

[0016] With the above arrangement, the blades can guide the airflow in the same direction, reducing interference between airflows passing through different ventilation slits. Adjacent blades can guide airflow to the same position, causing airflows heading towards the same position to collide and disrupt each other, thus helping the wind deflector further reduce the airflow velocity.

[0017] In some possible implementations, the diameter of the support shaft ranges from 1 to 10 mm, and the ratio of the maximum width of the wind-blown component to the diameter of the support shaft ranges from 10 to 30.

[0018] With the above arrangement, using a support shaft with a diameter within the aforementioned range helps reduce the kinetic energy loss of the airflow caused by the support shaft itself. It also helps provide sufficient support force for the blades to maintain their attitude stability. Using the above-mentioned range for the ratio of the maximum width of the deflector to the diameter of the support shaft allows for a sufficiently large blade structure with adequate width, length, and thickness, thus improving the blades' guiding effect on the airflow. The installation angle of the above embodiment helps optimize the airflow path, thereby reducing the impact of the blade shape on the kinetic energy loss of the airflow.

[0019] In some possible implementations, the installation angle of the blade ranges from 10° to 75°.

[0020] In some possible implementations, the orthographic projection of the blade onto the projection plane includes an arc-shaped edge and two linear edges, with each end of the arc-shaped edge connected to one end of a linear edge, and the other end of each linear edge extending inward. The projection plane is a plane perpendicular to the flow direction of the airflow on the flexible member.

[0021] With the above arrangement, the shape of the blades can guide the airflow in the orthographic projection direction, allowing the airflow to flow to the direction and position preset by the designer, and also reducing the airflow velocity in the process. In some possible embodiments, the orthographic projection of the ventilation slit on the projection plane includes two linear sides, the distance between the two linear sides gradually increasing from the inside to the outside, and the projection plane is a plane perpendicular to the airflow direction on the flexible component.

[0022] With the above arrangement, the smaller distance between the two linear sides allows for a thicker or wider blade structure, which in turn improves the overall structural strength of the wind deflector by connecting these parts uniformly. Conversely, the larger distance allows for a thinner or narrower blade structure, thus improving airflow efficiency and appropriately reducing the kinetic energy loss caused by the wind deflector.

[0023] In some possible implementations, the soft wind assembly includes a drive structure that is tractively connected to the connector for driving the connector to rotate about a first axis that intersects the flow direction of the airflow in the soft wind assembly.

[0024] With the above arrangement, the drive structure can change the orientation of the airflow softener by rotating the connecting parts. Since the airflow direction generated by an air conditioner is generally relatively fixed, changing the orientation of the airflow softener will correspondingly change its effects on obstructing, guiding, and disrupting the airflow. By changing the working performance of the airflow softener, the air conditioner's operation can be adapted to the user's needs, rather than simply reducing the airflow velocity.

[0025] In some possible implementations, the drive structure includes a motor and a transmission component, the transmission component drivingly connecting the motor and a second end of the connector, the motor driving the connector to rotate around the first axis via the transmission component.

[0026] In some possible implementations, the transmission component includes a first link and a second link, with a first end of the first link connected to a second end of a connector, and a second end of the first link hinged to the second link. The motor is driven by the second link to drive the second link to swing around the first axis. Alternatively, the transmission component includes a rack and a gear, with the rack meshing with the gear. The motor is driven by the rack to drive the rack to move along the tangential direction of the gear, and the second end of the connector is driven by the gear.

[0027] With the above arrangement, the transmission structure formed by the gears and racks, as well as the transmission structure formed by the first and second connecting rods, can drive the connecting parts to rotate, thereby changing the orientation of the soft wind assembly.

[0028] In some possible implementations, the wind-softening component includes a mounting base, and the number of connectors is multiple, with the first end of each connector connected to a wind-softening component, and the multiple connectors are spaced apart along the length of the mounting base.

[0029] With the above arrangement, multiple connectors are spaced apart along the length of the mounting base, which can soften the airflow at different locations of the air conditioner's outlet. The mounting base simplifies the process of installing the connectors one by one to the air conditioner's outlet; that is, the connectors can be installed uniformly on the mounting base first, and then the assembly is completed by connecting the mounting base to other parts of the air conditioner.

[0030] In some possible implementations, the soft wind assembly includes an air guide plate, and the connector is mounted on one side of the air guide plate.

[0031] With the above arrangement, the air guide plate, as a component installed at the air outlet of the air conditioner, has its connector mounted on one side. This arrangement facilitates the placement of the soft-air assembly near the air outlet, enhancing its ability to block, disrupt, and guide the airflow generated by the air conditioner. Furthermore, mounting the connector on the air guide plate reduces the steps required to install the soft-air assembly, thus simplifying the air conditioner assembly process.

[0032] A second aspect of this application provides an air conditioner that includes a gentle breeze component as described in the above technical solutions.

[0033] In some possible implementations, the air conditioner includes a main body, and the number of wind-softening components is multiple, with the multiple wind-softening components installed at the air outlet of the main body.

[0034] In some possible implementations, multiple soft wind components are arranged to form two groups, with both groups of soft wind components spaced apart along the length of the air outlet of the body, wherein the two groups of soft wind components are used to guide the airflow to the same side or opposite side of the body.

[0035] The beneficial effects of the technical solution provided in this application embodiment include at least the following: the connector connects to the air softener at its first end, providing support for the air softener, and is mounted on the air conditioner at its second end, allowing the air softener to adjust the airflow at the air conditioner's outlet. The air softener uses blades to block airflow, and the blocked airflow can still be blown onto the human body through ventilation slits. Due to the blocking effect of the blades, the airflow velocity decreases, creating a gentle breeze effect, thus reducing discomfort for the user when being blown. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0054] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0055] In the embodiments of this application, directional terms such as "upper," "lower," and "side" are generally used in the following ways: Figure 1 The relative positions shown are based on the given information, and these directional terms are used only to more clearly describe the relationships between structures, not to describe absolute positions.

[0056] Unless otherwise defined, all technical terms used in the embodiments of this application have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art.

[0057] To make the technical solutions and advantages of this application clearer, the embodiments of this application will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0058] The first aspect of this application provides a gentle breeze component, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the soft wind assembly includes a soft wind component 1 and a connecting component 2, wherein,

[0059] The first end of connector 2 is connected to the soft air component 1, and the second end is connected to the air conditioner.

[0060] The wind-blowing component 1 includes multiple blades 11, which are arranged at intervals, and a ventilation slit 100 is formed between two adjacent blades 11.

[0061] With the above arrangement, the connector 2 connects to the wind softener 1 at its first end, providing support for the wind softener 1, and is installed on the air conditioner at its second end, allowing the wind softener 1 to adjust the airflow at the air conditioner's outlet. The wind softener 1 uses blades 11 to block the airflow, while the blocked airflow can still be blown onto the human body through the ventilation slit 100. Due to the blocking effect of the blades 11, the airflow velocity is reduced, creating a gentle breeze effect, thus reducing discomfort for the user when being blown.

[0062] In this embodiment, the blade 11 can obstruct the airflow generated by the air conditioner through its own structural characteristics, thereby changing the direction of airflow and reducing the airflow velocity and volume. For example, the blade 11 has a plane perpendicular to the airflow direction. When the airflow comes into contact with this plane, it is interfered with and flows along the extension direction of the plane. Due to the change in direction, the airflow velocity is also reduced, thus lowering the airflow velocity.

[0063] In this embodiment, the connector 2 can be connected to the air conditioner by means of snap-fitting, welding, or bonding.

[0064] In this embodiment, connector 2 can be directly connected to the air conditioner or indirectly connected to the air conditioner.

[0065] In this embodiment, the wind-blowing component 1 can be connected to the first end of the connector 2 via the blade 11, or via other structures.

[0066] In this embodiment, the connector 2 and the flexible element 1 can be connected by an integral molding process. For example, the connector 2 and the flexible element 1 can be connected by injection molding.

[0067] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the area of ​​the ventilation slit 100 projected onto the projection plane accounts for 20% to 80% of the area of ​​the flexible air member 1 projected onto the projection plane. The projection plane is a plane perpendicular to the flow direction of the airflow on the flexible member.

[0068] Due to the obstruction effect of the airflow softener, the airflow from the air conditioner experiences some kinetic energy loss as it passes through it. To reduce the impact of this kinetic energy loss on the air conditioner's performance, the area of ​​the ventilation slit 100 projected onto the projection plane can be set to account for 20% to 80% of the area of ​​the airflow softener 1 projected onto the projection plane. Within this range, the airflow efficiency of the airflow softener can be matched with the resulting kinetic energy loss, meaning that while reducing discomfort from the airflow on the human body, the impact of the kinetic energy loss on the air conditioner's cooling performance is within an acceptable range.

[0069] In this embodiment, the area of ​​the orthographic projection of the ventilation slit 100 relative to the area of ​​the orthographic projection of the wind-blowing component 1 can be 50%, 55%, 60%, 65%, 70%, 75%, or 80%, or other values ​​between 50% and 80%.

[0070] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 1 As shown, the wind-blowing component 1 includes a support shaft 12, with the first end of a plurality of blades 11 connected to the shaft body of the support shaft 12 and the second end extending away from the support shaft 12. The plurality of blades 11 are arranged at circumferential intervals on the support shaft 12.

[0071] With the above arrangement, the support shaft 12 provides support for the first end of the blade 11. The second end extends away from the support shaft 12, enabling the blade 11 as a whole to guide and block the airflow. Multiple blades 11 can guide the airflow to the same position, thus disrupting the guided airflow and reducing the airflow velocity.

[0072] In this embodiment of the application, a plurality of blades 11 are spaced apart on the shaft of the support shaft 12, and the shape of the ventilation slit 100 formed between two adjacent blades 11 may be the same or different.

[0073] In the embodiments of this application, the blade 11 generally has a larger end and a smaller end. The support shaft 12 can be connected to the larger end, thereby providing sufficient support for the blade 11 and forming a larger connection area with the blade 11.

[0074] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 1 As shown, the connector 2 includes a frame 21, which is a hollow structure. The blades 11 are located inside the frame 21, and the second end of each blade 11 is connected to the inner side of the frame 21.

[0075] With the above arrangement, the frame 21 can further improve the structural rigidity of the blade 11. When the second end of the blade 11 is impacted by the airflow, the force can be transmitted through the frame 21. At the same time, the first end of the blade 11 is connected to the shaft of the support shaft 12, which helps the blade 11 maintain a relatively stable shape when impacted by the airflow.

[0076] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 1 As shown, each blade 11 is twisted radially along the support shaft 12, and adjacent blades 11 twist in the same direction.

[0077] With the above arrangement, the blades 11 can guide the airflow in the same direction, thereby reducing the mutual interference between airflows passing through different ventilation slits 100.

[0078] In some embodiments of this application, each blade 11 is radially twisted along the support shaft 12, and adjacent blades 11 are twisted in opposite directions.

[0079] With the above arrangement, two adjacent blades 11 can guide the airflow to the same position. The airflows flowing to the same position collide with each other and disrupt each other, which helps the wind deflector 1 to further reduce the airflow velocity.

[0080] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 2 As shown, the diameter W2 of the support shaft 12 ranges from 1 to 10 mm, and the ratio of the maximum width W1 of the soft wind component 1 to the diameter W2 of the support shaft 12 ranges from 10 to 30.

[0081] With the above arrangement, the support shaft 12, using a diameter W2 within the aforementioned range, helps reduce the kinetic energy loss of the airflow caused by the support shaft 12 itself. It also helps provide sufficient support force for the blades 11 to maintain their attitude stability. The ratio of the maximum width W1 of the wind deflector 1 to the diameter W2 of the support shaft 12, within the aforementioned range, allows the blades 11 to have a sufficiently large structure with adequate width, length, and thickness, thus improving the guiding effect of the blades 11 on the airflow. The installation angle of the above embodiment helps optimize the airflow path, thereby reducing the impact of the blade shape on the kinetic energy loss of the airflow.

[0082] In this embodiment of the application, the maximum width W1 of the wind-blowing component 1 can refer to: for a wind-blowing component 1 with a shape similar to a circle, the maximum width W1 can refer to the maximum diameter W2 of the wind-blowing component 1; for a wind-blowing component 1 with an irregular shape, the maximum distance between two points on the edge of the wind-blowing component 1 can be taken as the maximum width W1.

[0083] In this embodiment of the application, the diameter W2 of the support shaft 12 can be 1mm, 2mm, 3mm, 4mm, 5mm, 6mm, 7mm, 8mm, 9mm or 10mm, or other values ​​from 1 to 10mm.

[0084] In the embodiments of this application, the ratio of the maximum width W1 of the soft wind component 1 to the diameter W2 of the support shaft 12 can be 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29 or 30, or other values ​​from 10 to 30.

[0085] In some embodiments of this application, the installation angle A of the blade 11 ranges from 10° to 75°.

[0086] With the above arrangement, within the above value range, the windward area of ​​blade 11 to the airflow is within a suitable range, which is conducive to the blade 11 guiding the airflow with sufficient flow. At the same time, the impact of the airflow on the blade 11 is also within the acceptable range of the blade 11, which helps to reduce the possibility of the blade 11 breaking due to the impact of the airflow.

[0087] In the embodiments of this application, the installation angle A of the blade 11 can be 10°, 15°, 20°, 25°, 30°, 35°, 40°, 45°, 50°, 55°, 60°, 65°, 70° or 75°, or other values ​​from 10° to 75°.

[0088] In the embodiments of this application, such as Figure 9 As shown, the installation angle A can refer to the angle formed by the edge position of the first end of the blade 11 and the end face of the support shaft 12.

[0089] In the embodiments of this application, such as Figure 9 As shown, the installation angle A can refer to the angle formed by the edge position of the second end of the blade 11 and the end face of the support shaft 12.

[0090] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 2 As shown, the orthographic projection of blade 11 on the projection plane includes an arc-shaped edge and two linear edges. The two ends of the arc-shaped edge are respectively connected to one end of a linear edge, and the other end of each linear edge extends inward. The projection plane is a plane perpendicular to the flow direction of the airflow on the flexible component.

[0091] With the above arrangement, the shape of the blade 11 can guide the airflow in the direction of the orthographic projection, so that the airflow can flow to the direction and position preset by the designer, and the airflow velocity can also be reduced in the above process.

[0092] In the embodiments of this application, the orthographic projection of the blade 11 onto the projection plane can be fan-shaped or fan-shaped.

[0093] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 2 As shown, the orthographic projection of the ventilation slit 100 onto the projection plane includes two linear sides, the distance between the two linear sides gradually increases from the inside to the outside, and the projection plane is a plane perpendicular to the flow direction of the airflow on the flexible member.

[0094] With the above arrangement, the smaller distance between the two linear sides allows the blade 11 to have a thicker or wider structure, which in turn allows the blade 11 to improve the overall structural strength of the wind-blown component 1 by connecting the above parts uniformly. The larger distance allows the blade 11 to have a thinner or narrower structure, which can improve the airflow efficiency and appropriately reduce the kinetic energy loss of the wind-blown component 1 to the airflow.

[0095] In this embodiment, the distance between the two linear edges gradually increases from the inside to the outside. The inside refers to the location of the part with a larger cross-sectional area of ​​the blade 11, and the outside can refer to the location of the part with a smaller cross-sectional area of ​​the blade 11.

[0096] In the embodiments of this application, each linear edge is a common edge of the orthographic projection of the blades 11 that form the ventilation slit 100 onto the projection plane.

[0097] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 3 As shown, the soft wind assembly includes a drive structure 3, which is connected to the connector 2 for driving the connector 2 to rotate around a first axis. The first axis intersects with the airflow direction of the soft wind assembly.

[0098] With the above arrangement, the drive structure 3 can change the orientation of the airflow softener 1 by rotating the connecting piece 2. Since the airflow direction generated by an air conditioner is generally relatively fixed, changing the orientation of the airflow softener 1 will correspondingly change its effects on obstructing, guiding, and disrupting the airflow. By changing the working performance of the airflow softener 1, the operation of the air conditioner can be adapted to the user's needs, rather than simply reducing the airflow velocity.

[0099] In the embodiments of this application, such as Figure 8 As shown in the figure, when the wind-blowing component 1 rotates to a position where the ventilation slit 100 is perpendicular to the airflow direction, the wind-blowing component 1 has a poor effect on blocking, guiding and disrupting the airflow, while the airflow can quickly enter the room to reduce the indoor temperature.

[0100] In the embodiments of this application, such as Figure 7As shown in the figure, the gentle breeze component 1 rotates to a position where the ventilation slit 100 is parallel to the airflow direction. At this time, the airflow can leave the air outlet of the air conditioner through the ventilation slit 100, which helps to reduce the airflow speed and reduce the discomfort caused to the user when being blown.

[0101] In some embodiments of this application, the drive structure 3 includes a motor and a transmission component. The transmission component drives the motor and the second end of the connector 2. The motor drives the connector 2 to rotate around the first axis through the transmission component.

[0102] With the above arrangement, the motor can generate driving force by rotating. Under the adjustment of the transmission components, the driving force can be output to the connector 2, causing the connector 2 to rotate. In this way, the orientation of the soft wind component 1 connected to the connector 2 can be changed.

[0103] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 4 As shown, the drive structure 3 includes a motor, wherein the drive structure 3 includes a first link 311 and a second link 312. The first end of the first link 311 is connected to the second end of the connector 2, and the second end of the first link 311 is hinged to the second link 312. The motor is connected to the second link 312 for transmission, and is used to drive the second link 312 to swing around the first axis.

[0104] With the above arrangement, the motor can drive the second link 312 to swing, and the first link 311 can convert the swing of the second link 312 into the rotation of the connecting member 2, thus realizing the change of the orientation of the wind-blowing component 1. Specifically, when one end of the second link 312 swings, it will drive the second end of the first link 311 to move accordingly. Since the first end of the first link 311 is connected to the first end of the connecting member 2, the first end of the first link 311 only has the degree of freedom to rotate around the axis of the connecting member 2. Therefore, during the movement of the second end of the first link 311, only the rotation around the axis of the connecting member 2 will occur. Since the wind-blowing component 1 is connected to the connecting member 2, the connecting member 2 can drive the wind-blowing component 1 to rotate around the axis of the connecting member 2, thus realizing the change of the orientation of the wind-blowing component 1.

[0105] In this embodiment of the application, the orientation of the wind-blowing component 1 can be changed by driving the motor. After the motor adjusts the wind-blowing component 1 to a suitable position by rotating forward, it can adjust the orientation of the wind-blowing component 1 back to the original position by rotating in reverse.

[0106] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 3 As shown, the drive structure 3 includes a motor, a rack and a gear 321, the rack meshes with the gear 321, the motor is connected to the rack for driving the rack to move along the tangential direction of the gear 321, and the second end of the connector 2 is connected to the gear 321 for transmission.

[0107] With the above arrangement, the translation of the rack can drive the gear 321 to rotate, and the second end of the connector 2 is connected to the gear 321 for transmission, so it can be driven by the gear 321 to rotate. Through the above driving process, the orientation of the connector 2 can be changed according to the actual needs.

[0108] In this embodiment, the connector 2 can be arranged coaxially with the gear 321.

[0109] In this embodiment of the application, the orientation of the wind-blowing component 1 can be changed by driving the motor. After the motor adjusts the wind-blowing component 1 to a suitable position by rotating forward, it can adjust the orientation of the wind-blowing component 1 back to the original position by rotating in reverse.

[0110] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 5 As shown, the soft wind assembly includes a mounting base 4 and multiple connectors 2. The first end of each connector 2 is connected to a soft wind component 1, and the multiple connectors 2 are arranged at intervals along the length of the mounting base 4.

[0111] With the above arrangement, multiple connectors 2 are spaced apart along the length of the mounting base 4, which can soften the airflow at different positions of the air outlet of the air conditioner. The mounting base 4 can simplify the steps of installing the connectors 2 one by one to the air outlet of the air conditioner. That is, the connectors 2 can be installed on the mounting base 4 first, and then the assembly is completed by connecting with other parts of the air conditioner through the mounting base 4.

[0112] In some embodiments of this application, the gentle breeze assembly includes an air guide plate 5, and a connector 2 is mounted on one side of the air guide plate 5.

[0113] With the above arrangement, the air guide plate 5, as a component installed at the air outlet of the air conditioner, has the connector 2 installed on one side. This arrangement facilitates the placement of the soft-wind assembly near the air outlet of the air conditioner. This positional relationship enhances the soft-wind assembly's ability to block, disrupt, and guide the airflow generated by the air conditioner. Simultaneously, installing the connector 2 on the air guide plate 5 reduces the steps required to install the soft-wind assembly into the air conditioner, thus simplifying the air conditioner assembly process.

[0114] A second aspect of this application provides an air conditioner that includes a gentle breeze assembly as described in the above embodiments.

[0115] Because of the use of the soft wind component in the above embodiments, the air conditioner of this application has the same technical effect as the above embodiments, and will not be described again here.

[0116] In some embodiments of this application, the air conditioner includes a main body, and a plurality of soft wind components are installed at the air outlet of the main body.

[0117] With the above arrangement, multiple gentle breeze components can create a gentle breeze effect at different positions of the air outlet of the main body, reducing the situation where airflow directly blows onto the human body through the air outlet.

[0118] In some embodiments of this application, multiple soft wind components are arranged to form two groups, and the two groups of soft wind components are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the air outlet of the body, wherein the two groups of soft wind components are used to guide the airflow to the same side of the body.

[0119] With the above arrangement, the soft wind assembly can guide the airflow blown out by the air conditioner to the same side of the main body, thereby improving the independence between airflows passing through different soft wind assemblies and reducing the mutual interference between airflows due to the intersection of flow paths.

[0120] In the embodiments of this application, such as Figure 5 As shown in the diagram, there are 14 gentle airflow components, with 7 on the left and 7 on the right forming a group. If both groups of gentle airflow components direct the airflow to the left side of the diagram, the airflow effect of the air conditioner on the corresponding left side of the space will be improved; if both groups of gentle airflow components direct the airflow to the right side of the diagram, the airflow effect of the air conditioner on the corresponding right side of the space will be improved.

[0121] In some embodiments of this application, multiple soft wind components are arranged to form two groups, and the two groups of soft wind components are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the air outlet of the body, wherein the two groups of soft wind components are used to guide the airflow to the opposite side of the body.

[0122] With the above arrangement, the air conditioner can guide the airflow from different positions of the air outlet outward along the original flow path, thereby expanding the blowing range of the air conditioner. Alternatively, the air conditioner can guide the airflow from different soft wind components to the same position, so that the paths of the airflows intersect and interfere with each other. The airflow speed of the interfering airflows is reduced, which helps to reduce the discomfort of the user when being blown by the air.

[0123] In the embodiments of this application, such as Figure 5 As shown in the diagram, there are 14 gentle breeze components, with 7 on the left and 7 on the right forming a group. If the group of gentle breeze components on the left directs the airflow to the left side of the diagram, and the group of gentle breeze components on the right directs the airflow to the right side, the air conditioning's blowing range will be expanded. If the group of gentle breeze components on the left directs the airflow to the right side of the diagram, and the group of gentle breeze components on the right directs the airflow to the left side, the airflows directed by the two groups of gentle breeze components will collide, thus reducing the airflow velocity.

[0124] In this embodiment of the application, the gentle breeze assembly can adjust the direction of airflow guidance by adjusting the rotation of the blades 11.

[0125] In this application, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance. The term "multiple" refers to two or more unless otherwise expressly defined.

[0126] Other embodiments of this application will readily occur to those skilled in the art upon consideration of the specification and practice of the application disclosed herein. This application is intended to cover any variations, uses, or adaptations of this application that follow the general principles of this application and include common knowledge or customary techniques in the art not disclosed herein.
