[0030] The use of "applies to" or "configured to" in this application implies open and inclusive language, which does not exclude the applicability to or configuration to devices performing additional tasks or steps. Additionally, the use of "based on" implies openness and inclusivity, because processes, steps, calculations, or other actions "based on" one or more of the stated conditions or values ​​may in practice be based on additional conditions or values ​​beyond those stated.

[0031] In this application, the term "exemplary" is used to mean "used as an example, illustration, or description." Any embodiment described as "exemplary" in this application is not necessarily to be construed as being more preferred or advantageous than other embodiments. The following description is provided to enable any person skilled in the art to make and use this application. Details are set forth in the following description for purposes of explanation. It should be understood that those skilled in the art will recognize that this application can be made without using these specific details. In other instances, well-known structures and processes are not described in detail to avoid obscuring the description of this application with unnecessary detail. Therefore, this application is not intended to be limited to the embodiments shown, but is consistent with the broadest scope of the principles and features disclosed in this application.

[0032] like Figure 1 As shown, this application embodiment provides an air conditioner 1, which is provided with an indoor air outlet 10, a first air guide plate 20, a second air guide plate 30, and a third air guide plate 40, enabling multi-angle air delivery and effectively reducing air volume loss and improving air delivery efficiency. The type of air conditioner 1 can be determined according to actual needs, and can be, for example, a wall-mounted air conditioner 1, a cabinet air conditioner 1, a window air conditioner 1, etc., and this application embodiment does not limit this.

[0033] The first air guide plate 20, the second air guide plate 30, and the third air guide plate 40 rotate around a first rotation axis extending along the length of the indoor air outlet 10, thus forming a coaxial arrangement. The first air guide plate 20 and the second air guide plate 30 can rotatably open corresponding areas of the indoor air outlet 10, or together close the indoor air outlet 10, acting as external air guide plates. In other words, the first air guide plate 20 can rotate independently to open or close a portion of the indoor air outlet 10; the second air guide plate 30 can also rotate independently to open or close another portion of the indoor air outlet 10. When both the first air guide plate 20 and the second air guide plate 30 are open, the indoor air outlet 10 is fully open; when both the first air guide plate 20 and the second air guide plate 30 are closed, the indoor air outlet 10 is fully closed.

[0034] The third air guide plate 40 is disposed inside the air conditioner 1 and functions as an internal air guide plate. The third air guide plate 40 can also rotate independently to change the airflow direction in the area inside the air conditioner 1 near the indoor air outlet 10. When the first air guide plate 20 and the second air guide plate 30 jointly close the indoor air outlet 10, the third air guide plate 40 is blocked inside the air conditioner 1.

[0035] Compared with related technologies, the air conditioner 1 provided in this application embodiment has a first air guide plate 20, a second air guide plate 30 and a third air guide plate 40 that are coaxially arranged and can be rotated independently. Multi-angle air supply can be achieved by changing the rotation angle of the first air guide plate 20, the second air guide plate 30 and the third air guide plate 40. When the rotation angle of the first air guide plate 20, the second air guide plate 30 and the third air guide plate 40 changes, no obstruction will be formed between any two of the first air guide plate 20, the second air guide plate 30 and the third air guide plate 40, which effectively reduces air volume loss and improves air supply efficiency.

[0036] In some examples, the third air guide plate 40 is provided with multiple soft air holes 41, which penetrate through the third air guide plate 40. In this way, the multiple soft air holes 41 on the third air guide plate 40 can be used to disperse and soften the airflow, thereby achieving a flexible air guiding and outlet effect.

[0037] In some embodiments, the first air guide plate 20 and the second air guide plate 30 can be arranged adjacent to each other along the width direction of the indoor air outlet 10, with the first air guide plate 20 located above the second air guide plate 30, so that the first air guide plate 20 and the second air guide plate 30 are arranged sequentially from top to bottom. The first rotation axis is parallel to the horizontal direction.

[0038] like Figure 2 As shown, in some examples, when the air conditioner 1 is in the first cold air blowing mode, the first air guide plate 20 is open, the second air guide plate 30 is closed, and the third air guide plate 40 abuts against the lower side wall of the indoor air outlet 10, so that the air conditioner 1 blows cold air horizontally or obliquely upward. In this positional relationship, the upper area of ​​the indoor air outlet 10 is open and the lower area is closed. Since the first air guide plate 20 and the third air guide plate 40 are coaxially arranged, the first air guide plate 20 and the third air guide plate 40 can be connected to form a horizontally extending or obliquely upward extending air guiding surface, so that the cold air from the air conditioner 1 can be blown horizontally or obliquely upward, avoiding the cold air from blowing directly downward and causing discomfort to the human body.

[0039] like Figure 3 As shown, in some examples, when the air conditioner 1 is in the first warm air blowing mode, the first air guide plate 20 is closed, the second air guide plate 30 is open, and the third air guide plate 40 abuts against the upper side wall of the indoor air outlet 10, so that the air conditioner 1 blows warm air vertically or inclined downwards. In this positional relationship, the lower area of ​​the indoor air outlet 10 is open and the upper area is closed. Since the second air guide plate 30 and the third air guide plate 40 are coaxially arranged, the second air guide plate 30 and the third air guide plate 40 can be connected to form a vertically extending or inclined downward extending air guiding surface, so that the warm air from the air conditioner 1 can be blown vertically or inclined downwards to quickly reach the ground area where the user is located, and quickly raise the room temperature of the user's area.

[0040] like Figure 4 As shown, in some examples, the third air guide plate 40 may be provided with multiple soft air holes 41 as described above. When the air conditioner 1 is in the second cold air blowing mode, the first air guide plate 20 is open, the second air guide plate 30 is closed, and the third air guide plate 40 abuts against the upper side wall of the indoor air outlet 10, so that the cold air of the air conditioner 1 is blown horizontally or obliquely upward after passing through the soft air holes 41 of the third air guide plate 40. In this positional relationship, the upper area of ​​the indoor air outlet 10 is opened and the lower area is closed. Since the first air guide plate 20 and the third air guide plate 40 are coaxially arranged, and the third air guide plate 40 abuts against the upper side wall of the first air guide plate 20 and the indoor air outlet 10, the multiple soft air holes 41 of the third air guide plate 40 can be used to disperse and soften the cold air of the air conditioner 1. Then, the first air guide plate 20 is used to guide the soft air flowing out of the third air guide plate 40, so that the cold air of the air conditioner 1 can be blown horizontally or obliquely upward, which can avoid the cold air blowing directly downward and causing discomfort to the human body, and achieve the effect of soft air delivery.

[0041] like Figure 5 As shown, in some examples, the third air guide plate 40 may be provided with multiple soft air holes 41 as described above. When the air conditioner 1 is in the third cold air blowing mode, the first air guide plate 20 and the second air guide plate 30 are opened respectively, and the third air guide plate 40 abuts against the lower side wall of the indoor air outlet 10, so that part of the cold air from the air conditioner 1 is blown horizontally or obliquely upward, and another part of the cold air is blown obliquely downward through the soft air holes 41 of the third air guide plate 40. In this way, a part of the cold air can be gently blown to the nearby area, while another part of the cold air is blown to the farther area, achieving the dual effect of gentle airflow at nearby locations and long-distance airflow.

[0042] like Figure 6 As shown, in some examples, the third air guide plate 40 may be provided with multiple soft air holes 41 as described above. When the air conditioner 1 is in the second warm air blowing mode, the first air guide plate 20 is closed, the second air guide plate 30 is open, and the third air guide plate 40 abuts against the lower side wall of the indoor air outlet 10, so that the warm air from the air conditioner 1 is blown vertically or obliquely downward after passing through the soft air holes 41 of the third air guide plate 40. In this positional relationship, the lower area of ​​the indoor air outlet 10 is opened and the upper area is closed. Since the second air guide plate 30 and the third air guide plate 40 are coaxially arranged, the third air guide plate 40 abuts against the lower side wall of the second air guide plate 30 and the indoor air outlet 10. The multiple soft air holes 41 of the third air guide plate 40 can be used to disperse the warm air of the air conditioner 1 into a soft airflow. Then, the second air guide plate 30 is used to guide the soft airflow flowing out of the third air guide plate 40, so that the warm air of the air conditioner 1 can be blown gently vertically or tilted downwards to gently and quickly reach the ground area where the user is located, quickly raising the room temperature of the user's area and avoiding excessive wind force that could cause discomfort to the human body.

[0043] like Figures 7 to 9 As shown, in some embodiments, a first rotating shaft hole 21 and a first rotating shaft portion 22 may be provided at intervals on one end of the first air guide plate 20 near the second air guide plate 30; a second rotating shaft hole 31 and a second rotating shaft portion 32 may be provided at intervals on one end of the second air guide plate 30 near the first air guide plate 20; and a third rotating shaft portion 42 and a fourth rotating shaft portion 43 may be provided at intervals on one end of the third air guide plate 40. The first rotating shaft portion 22 and the third rotating shaft portion 42 are respectively inserted into the first rotating shaft hole 21 from both ends, and the second rotating shaft portion 32 and the fourth rotating shaft portion 43 are respectively inserted into the second rotating shaft hole 31 from both ends. After the connection is made as described above, the first rotating shaft hole 21, the first rotating shaft portion 22, the second rotating shaft hole 31, the second rotating shaft portion 32, the third rotating shaft portion 42, and the fourth rotating shaft portion 43 are coaxially arranged along the first rotation axis.

[0044] In some examples, the air conditioner 1 may include a first drive member 51 and a first drive shaft 52. A first connecting hole 23 is provided at the end of the first rotating shaft portion 22 away from the third rotating shaft portion 42. The first drive shaft 52 connects to the output end of the first drive member 51 and the first connecting hole 23. The type of the first drive member 51 can be determined according to actual needs, and may be, for example, a rotary motor, a rotary hydraulic motor, etc. This application embodiment does not limit this. Thus, the first drive member 51 can drive the first air guide plate 20 to rotate around the first rotating axis via the first drive shaft 52.

[0045] In some examples, the air conditioner 1 may be provided with a second drive member 61 and a second drive shaft 62. A second connecting hole 33 is provided at the end of the second rotating shaft portion 32 away from the fourth rotating shaft portion 43. The second drive shaft 62 connects the output end of the second drive member 61 and the second connecting hole 33. The type of the second drive member 61 can be determined according to actual needs, and may be, for example, a rotary motor, a rotary hydraulic motor, etc. This application embodiment does not limit this. Thus, the second drive member 61 can drive the second air guide plate 30 to rotate around the first rotating axis via the second drive shaft 62.

[0046] In some examples, the air conditioner 1 may be equipped with a third driving member 71 and a driving link 72, and the third air guide plate 40 may be equipped with a link connecting part 44, with the driving link 72 connecting the third driving member 71 and the link connecting part 44. The type of the third driving member 71 can be determined according to actual needs, and may be, for example, a rotary motor, a rotary hydraulic motor, etc., which is not limited in this embodiment. In this way, the third driving member 71 can drive the third air guide plate 40 to rotate around the first rotation axis through the driving link 72.

[0047] The air conditioner provided in the embodiments of this application has been described in detail above. Specific examples have been used to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of this application. The description of the above embodiments is only for the purpose of helping to understand the method and core ideas of this application. At the same time, for those skilled in the art, there will be changes in the specific implementation methods and application scope based on the ideas of this application. Therefore, the content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation of this application.
