Air conditioner indoor unit and air conditioner

Abstract

This utility model relates to the field of air conditioner technology, providing an indoor air conditioner unit and an air conditioner. In the indoor air conditioner unit, a baffle plate can switch between a deflecting position and a retractable position. In the deflecting position, the baffle plate slides to the air outlet outside the retractable cavity. In the retractable position, the baffle plate slides into the retractable cavity. By providing a retractable part connected to the indoor unit housing and a retractable cavity formed between the two, and designing the baffle plate to slide and switch between the deflecting and retractable positions within the retractable cavity, the following is effectively achieved: when deflecting is not required, the baffle plate can be completely slidably retracted into the closed retractable cavity, isolating its surface from indoor air, thereby preventing dust accumulation on the baffle plate surface; while when the anti-direct-blow function is needed, the baffle plate slides and extends to the air outlet to operate. This effectively solves the problem of dust accumulation caused by traditional baffles being exposed to the outside for long periods, significantly reducing the risk of dust being blown away by the air conditioner's airflow, polluting indoor air, and harming user health.

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air conditioner technology, and in particular to an indoor air conditioner unit and an air conditioner. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, to improve air conditioning comfort and prevent cold air from blowing directly on users, a liftable or tiltable anti-direct-blow baffle is usually installed on the front of the indoor unit. However, these movable baffles easily accumulate dust on their surface during long-term use. When the air conditioner is running, the dust on the baffle is easily disturbed by the airflow and blown into the indoor air, posing a potential hazard of polluting the indoor air environment and affecting users' health. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this utility model provides an indoor air conditioning unit and an air conditioner.

[0004] In a first aspect, this utility model provides an indoor unit for an air conditioner, comprising: an indoor unit housing with an air outlet; a storage portion connected to the indoor unit housing, forming a storage cavity between the storage portion and the indoor unit housing; and a baffle plate slidably connected to the storage portion, the baffle plate being convertible between a baffle position and a storage position. In the baffle position, the baffle plate slidably extends to the air outlet outside the storage cavity, and in the storage position, the baffle plate slidably retracts into the storage cavity.

[0005] According to the present invention, an indoor air conditioner unit further includes a driving mechanism disposed in the storage cavity, the driving mechanism being connected to the wind deflector and used to drive the wind deflector to switch between the wind deflector position and the storage position.

[0006] According to the present invention, an indoor air conditioning unit has an air outlet located at the bottom of the indoor unit housing.

[0007] The storage section includes: a storage cover plate, which is connected to the front side of the inner unit housing, and a storage cavity is formed between the storage cover plate and the inner unit housing. The bottom of the storage cavity is provided with a telescopic opening, and the wind deflector can be switched between the wind deflector position and the storage position through the telescopic opening.

[0008] According to the present invention, an air conditioner indoor unit is provided with an open maintenance port on the front side of the indoor unit housing.

[0009] The storage section also includes an inner lining panel, which is detachably fastened to the open maintenance opening.

[0010] The storage cover plate covers the outside of the inner lining plate, and the storage cavity is formed between the storage cover plate and the inner lining plate.

[0011] According to the present invention, an indoor air conditioning unit includes a baffle plate comprising: a plate body slidably connected to a storage cover plate, the plate body being convertible between a baffle position and a storage position; and a plurality of ventilation holes spaced apart on the plate body.

[0012] According to the present invention, an indoor air conditioner unit further includes a storage section: a guide groove, which is opened along the sliding direction of the plate to the storage cover plate, and the plate is slidably connected in the guide groove.

[0013] According to the present invention, an indoor air conditioner unit includes a driving mechanism comprising: a rack connected to the plate and arranged along the sliding direction of the plate; a gear rotatably connected to the inner liner plate and meshing with the rack; and a motor connected to the gear.

[0014] According to the present invention, an indoor air conditioning unit further includes an air guide plate, which is rotatably connected to the air outlet.

[0015] According to the present invention, in the state of the wind deflector, the air guide plate is located inside the wind deflector.

[0016] A second aspect of this utility model is to provide an air conditioner, including the indoor unit as described above.

[0017] The air conditioner indoor unit provided by this utility model includes an indoor unit housing, a storage section, and a baffle plate. An air outlet is provided on the indoor unit housing. The storage section is connected to the outside of the indoor unit housing. A storage cavity is formed between the storage section and the indoor unit housing. The baffle plate is slidably connected to the storage cavity and can slide between a baffle position and a storage position. In the baffle position, the baffle plate can slide to extend to the air outlet outside the storage cavity to provide some shielding against direct airflow to the user. In the storage position, the baffle plate can slide and retract into the storage cavity to protect it.

[0018] As described above, by incorporating a storage section connected to the indoor unit casing and a storage cavity formed between them, and designing the baffle to slide between the baffle and storage positions within the storage cavity, the following is effectively achieved: When wind protection is not required (such as when the unit is off or when direct airflow prevention is not needed), the baffle can be completely slidably retracted into the closed storage cavity, isolating its surface from indoor air and preventing dust accumulation. When direct airflow prevention is required, the baffle slides and extends to the air outlet. This effectively solves the problem of dust accumulation caused by traditional baffles being exposed to the elements for extended periods, significantly reducing the risk of dust being dispersed by the air conditioner's airflow, polluting indoor air, and harming user health.

[0019] Furthermore, the air conditioner provided by this utility model, since it includes the indoor unit as described above, also possesses the advantages described above. Attached Figure Description

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0031] The following is combined Figures 1 to 4 This invention describes an indoor air conditioning unit and an air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present invention. It should be understood that the following description is merely an illustrative embodiment of the present invention and does not constitute any particular limitation on the present invention.

[0032] An embodiment of the first aspect of this utility model provides an indoor unit for an air conditioner, such as... Figures 1 to 4 As shown, it includes: an indoor unit housing 100, on which an air outlet 110 is provided; a storage part 200, which is connected to the indoor unit housing 100, and a storage cavity is formed between the storage part 200 and the indoor unit housing 100; and a wind deflector 300, which is slidably connected to the storage part 200, and the wind deflector 300 can switch between a wind deflector position and a storage position. In the wind deflector position, the wind deflector 300 slides to extend to the air outlet 110 outside the storage cavity, and in the storage position, the wind deflector 300 slides into the storage cavity.

[0033] The indoor unit of the air conditioner provided by this utility model includes an indoor unit housing 100, a storage section 200, and a baffle plate 300. An air outlet 110 is provided on the indoor unit housing 100. The storage section 200 is connected to the outside of the indoor unit housing 100. A storage cavity is formed between the storage section 200 and the indoor unit housing 100. The baffle plate 300 is slidably connected to the storage cavity and can slide between a baffle position and a storage position. In the baffle position, the baffle plate 300 can slide to extend to the air outlet 110 outside the storage cavity to provide some shielding for the air outlet 110, preventing the air from blowing directly onto the user. In the storage position, the baffle plate 300 can slide and retract into the storage cavity to protect itself.

[0034] As described above, by providing a storage section 200 connected to the indoor unit housing 100 and a storage cavity formed between them, and designing the baffle 300 to slide between the baffle position and the storage position within the storage cavity, the following is effectively achieved: when there is no need for wind protection (such as when the unit is off or when direct airflow prevention is not required), the baffle 300 can be completely slidably stored in the closed storage cavity, isolating its surface from indoor air, thereby preventing dust accumulation on the surface of the baffle 300; while when the direct airflow prevention function is required, the baffle 300 slides and extends to the air outlet 110 to operate. This effectively solves the problem of dust accumulation caused by traditional baffles being exposed to the outside for a long time, significantly reducing the risk of dust being blown away by the air conditioner's airflow, polluting indoor air, and harming user health.

[0035] In one embodiment of the present invention, the indoor unit of the air conditioner further includes a drive mechanism, which is disposed in the storage cavity, is connected to the wind deflector 300, and is used to drive the wind deflector 300 to switch between the wind deflector position and the storage position.

[0036] The drive mechanism can automatically switch the wind deflector 300 between the wind deflector position and the storage position, saving time and effort. Furthermore, by placing the drive mechanism inside the receiving cavity, the drive mechanism can be protected.

[0037] In one embodiment of this utility model, the air outlet 110 is disposed at the bottom of the indoor unit housing 100.

[0038] The storage section 200 includes a storage cover 210, which is connected to the front side of the inner unit housing 100. A storage cavity is formed between the storage cover 210 and the inner unit housing 100. A telescopic opening 211 is provided at the bottom of the storage cavity. The wind deflector 300 can switch between a wind deflector position and a storage position through the telescopic opening 211.

[0039] In one embodiment of this utility model, an open maintenance port is provided on the front side of the inner casing 100.

[0040] The storage section 200 also includes an inner lining panel 220, which is removable and snapped onto the open maintenance opening.

[0041] The storage cover 210 covers the outside of the inner liner 220, and a storage cavity is formed between the storage cover 210 and the inner liner 220.

[0042] In one embodiment of this utility model, the indoor unit of the air conditioner further includes: an air guide plate, which is rotatably connected to the air outlet 110.

[0043] When in the windproof position, the air deflector is located inside the wind deflector 300.

[0044] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, an air outlet 110 is provided at the bottom of the indoor unit housing 100. A rotatable air guide plate is provided at the air outlet 110, and the air guide plate can adjust the air outlet angle of the air outlet 110. An open maintenance opening is provided on the front side of the indoor unit housing 100, that is, the side of the indoor unit housing 100 away from the mounting wall. An inner lining plate 220 is fastened to the open maintenance opening. For example, the inner lining plate 220 can be fastened to the open maintenance opening by means of clips or screws. When it is necessary to maintain the internal components of the indoor unit housing 100, the inner lining plate 220 can be removed. A storage cover plate 210 is installed on the outside of the inner lining plate 220. A storage cavity is formed between the storage cover plate 210 and the inner lining plate 220. A telescopic opening 211 is provided at the bottom of the storage cavity. For example, the telescopic opening 211 is set higher than the air outlet 110. A baffle plate 300 is slidably connected to the storage cavity. The wind deflector 300 can extend from the telescopic opening 211 to the outside of the storage cavity or retract into the storage cavity, switching between a wind-blocking position and a storage position. When wind blocking is required, the drive mechanism drives the wind deflector 300 to slide out of the telescopic opening 211 and extend to the outside of the air guide plate at the air outlet 110. The air guide plate and the wind deflector 300 cooperate to adjust the air delivery direction. After the wind blocking work is completed, the drive mechanism drives the wind deflector 300 to slide and retract into the storage cavity from the telescopic opening 211, so that the wind deflector 300 is isolated from the external environment.

[0045] In one embodiment of this utility model, the wind deflector 300 includes: a plate body slidably connected to a storage cover 210, the plate body being convertible between a wind-deflecting position and a storage position; and multiple ventilation holes spaced apart on the plate body. By covering the plate body with ventilation holes, the airflow can be minimized while ensuring protection against direct airflow. Furthermore, a limiting block can be provided at the outer end of the plate body, limiting it to the outside of the telescopic opening 211.

[0046] Furthermore, in one embodiment of this utility model, the storage part 200 further includes a guide groove, which extends along the sliding direction of the plate to the storage cover plate 210, and the plate is slidably connected within the guide groove. The guide groove provides sliding guidance for the plate, thereby improving the stability of the plate's sliding extension and contraction.

[0047] In one embodiment of this utility model, the driving mechanism includes: a rack connected to the plate body and arranged along the sliding direction of the plate body; a gear rotatably connected to the inner liner plate 220 and meshing with the rack; and a motor connected to the gear.

[0048] For example, a gear is located on the outer side of the inner liner 220, and a motor is located on the inner side of the inner liner 220. The output shaft of the motor passes through the inner liner 220 and is connected to the gear. A rack is mounted on the plate along the sliding direction of the plate. The rack can mesh with the gear. During the rotation of the gear driven by the motor, the plate can be slid through the rack to switch between a windproof position and a storage position.

[0049] A second aspect of this utility model provides an air conditioner, including the indoor unit described above.

[0050] Furthermore, the air conditioner provided by this utility model, since it includes the indoor unit as described above, also possesses the advantages described above.

[0051] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and not to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
