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.

[0025] This application provides an indoor air conditioning unit to address the problem of airflow reduction caused by a soft-wind structure. The following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, will illustrate this solution.

[0026] In the embodiments of this application, such as Figure 1 as well as Figure 2 As shown, the indoor unit of the air conditioner includes: The main body 1 is provided with an air outlet duct 11, an air guide duct, and a decorative part 2. The air guide duct extends along the length of the main body 1, and the two ends of the air guide duct are respectively connected to the air outlet duct 11 and the decorative part 2. A wind-softening component 3 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the air outlet duct 11 and is used to block at least a portion of the air outlet duct 11; and, Wind turbine 4 is rotatably connected to the air guide channel; The decorative part 2 is provided with an air outlet 21. The decorative part 2 is made of transparent material and is used to allow the user to observe the impeller 4.

[0027] It should be noted that the length direction of the main body 1 is the same as the length direction of the indoor unit of the air conditioner. The decorative part 2 can be made of transparent plastic.

[0028] Understandably, in the gentle breeze mode of the indoor unit of the air conditioner, part of the airflow flowing through the air outlet duct 11 is discharged into the room through the air guide duct and the air outlet 21, expanding the air outlet range without affecting the gentle breeze effect and reducing airflow loss caused by the gentle breeze structure. Furthermore, the air outlet 21 is located on the side of the main unit 1, so it does not blow directly on the user and is unlikely to affect the user's comfort. At the same time, the airflow flowing through the air guide duct drives the fan wheel 4 to rotate, and the user can visually observe the rotation speed of the fan wheel 4 inside the transparent decorative part 2 to intuitively understand the current gentle breeze level, while also serving a decorative purpose.

[0029] For example, the decorative part 2 can adopt a shell structure, in which case the axial direction of the impeller 4 is arranged along the length direction of the main body 1, the shaft of the impeller 4 is arranged in the air guide channel, the blades of the impeller 4 are arranged in the decorative part 2, and the air outlet 21 is located in the axial direction of the impeller 4 or in the radial direction of the impeller 4. Alternatively, the decorative part 2 can adopt a plate-like structure, with the impeller 4 completely located in the air guide channel, and the axial direction of the impeller 4 is arranged along the length direction of the main body 1, in which case the air outlet 21 is located in the axial direction of the impeller 4. Preferably, the decorative part 2 adopts a shell structure, which allows the user to observe the impeller 4 completely and from multiple angles.

[0030] Furthermore, two air guide channels are provided opposite to the air outlet channel 11, and two impellers 4 are provided in a one-to-one correspondence with the air guide channels. In this way, air can be discharged from both sides along the length of the main body 1, further reducing the attenuation of the air volume.

[0031] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 as well as Figure 3 As shown, the main body 1 is provided with multiple air vents 12, which are located on the front of the main body 1 and connected to the air guide channel.

[0032] It should be noted that the front of the main unit 1 refers to the side of the main unit 1 that is away from the wall.

[0033] Understandably, some of the airflow escaping from the air outlet 11 to the air guide duct can flow out through the air outlet 21 and the diffuser 12, further expanding the air outlet range. Multiple diffusers 12 can reduce the airflow flowing towards the air outlet 21, thereby reducing momentum loss during the flow towards the air outlet 21, ensuring airflow velocity, and can also disperse the airflow flowing out from the front of the main body 1, achieving a gentle breeze effect.

[0034] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 as well as Figure 5 As shown, the side wall of the air outlet duct 11 is provided with multiple air inlets 111, which connect the air outlet duct 11 and the air guide duct.

[0035] Understandably, multiple air inlets 111 are placed on the side wall of the air outlet duct 11 to avoid significantly affecting the airflow rate exiting the air outlet duct 11. Multiple air inlets 111 divide the airflow into multiple streams, reducing disturbances caused by gas diversion and ensuring that the airflow flows evenly into the air guide duct.

[0036] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 As shown, the wind-softening component 3 includes a wind-softening part 31 and two connecting parts 32. The two connecting parts 32 are arranged opposite to each other and connected to the two ends of the wind-softening part 31. The two connecting parts 32 are rotatably connected to the side wall of the air outlet duct 11. The connecting parts 32 are provided with a clearance hole 321, which is used to communicate with the air inlet hole 111.

[0037] It should be noted that the gentle breeze section 31 refers to a structure that has a gentle breeze effect.

[0038] It is understandable that by reducing the area of ​​the connecting part 32 blocking the air inlet 111 through the avoidance hole 321, the air intake volume of the air guide channel is guaranteed.

[0039] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 As shown, the soft air section 31 is provided with multiple soft air holes 311.

[0040] Understandably, the multiple soft air holes 311 disperse the airflow in the air outlet channel 11, causing the airflow to flow in different directions, thus having a soft airflow effect.

[0041] For example, the soft air vents 311 can be round, square, oblong, or other shapes known in the prior art, and the sizes of the multiple soft air vents 311 can be the same or different. Specifically, the multiple soft air vents 311 are round and the same size, and the multiple soft air vents 311 are arranged in a rectangular array.

[0042] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, the indoor unit of the air conditioner also includes a mounting component 5, which is disposed inside the main body 1 and forms an air guide channel with at least a portion of the front of the main body 1. The fan wheel 4 is rotatably connected to the mounting component 5.

[0043] It is understandable that the mounting component 5 provides a position for the rotational connection of the wind turbine 4 and further encloses it with the existing structure to form an air guide channel, which facilitates production and manufacturing.

[0044] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, the mounting component 5 includes a mounting plate 51 and a fixing ring 52. The mounting plate 51 is disposed inside the main body 1 and forms an air guide channel with at least a portion of the front of the main body 1. The fixing ring 52 is connected to one end of the mounting plate 51. The impeller 4 is rotatably connected to the mounting plate 51. The decorative component 2 is connected to the fixing ring 52.

[0045] It should be noted that the indoor unit of the air conditioner is usually also equipped with an electrical control box. In the indoor unit, the electrical control box is located next to the air outlet duct 11. At least part of the front of the main unit 1 covers the electrical control box, and the airflow is separated from the electrical control box by the mounting plate 51. The fixing ring 52 is located at the air outlet end of the air guide duct.

[0046] Understandably, the mounting plate 51 is used to connect the impeller 4. The circular structure of the fixing ring 52 provides a standardized installation position for the decorative part 2, facilitating its installation.

[0047] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1As shown, the mounting component 5 is detachably connected to the main body 1.

[0048] It should be noted that detachable connections include known connection methods such as snap-fit ​​connections and bolt connections.

[0049] Understandably, since at least part of the front of the main body 1 is an integrated structure, the mounting parts 5 are connected in a detachable manner to facilitate the maintenance and cleaning of the air guide channel and the impeller 4.

[0050] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, decorative piece 2 is snapped together to retaining ring 52.

[0051] It should be noted that the decorative part 2 adopts a shell structure, and the open end of the decorative part 2 is snapped to the fixing ring 52.

[0052] Understandably, this facilitates the removal of decorative element 2 for maintenance of impeller 4.

[0053] This application also provides an air conditioner, which includes the above-described indoor unit. The specific structure of the indoor unit is as described in the above embodiments. Since this air conditioner uses all the technical solutions of all the above embodiments, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought about by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be described in detail here.

[0054] In some embodiments, the air conditioner also includes an outdoor unit.

Parts not described in detail in a particular embodiment can be referred to in the relevant descriptions of other embodiments. In the description of this application, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features.
