Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] Air conditioners in related technologies typically include a casing, a heat exchanger, ductwork components, and a fan assembly. The casing has an air inlet and two air outlets, which are distributed on the left and right sides of the casing. Driven by the fan assembly, indoor air can enter the casing through the air inlet and exchange heat with the heat exchanger. The airflow after heat exchange can flow into the room through the ductwork components and the air outlets on the left and right sides to cool or heat the room.

[0003] Furthermore, the air conditioner also includes a diversion grille, which has a first diversion channel and a second diversion channel. The first diversion channel and the second diversion channel are respectively connected to the air outlets on the left and right sides. The diversion grille can divert the airflow to the first diversion channel and the second diversion channel, and then flow into the room through the air outlets on the left and right sides.

[0004] However, due to the unreasonable structural design of the diversion grille in the relevant technology, the diversion grille cannot evenly divert the airflow to the first diversion channel and the second diversion channel, which may lead to an uneven distribution of air volume at the left and right air outlets of the air conditioner, resulting in poor air delivery effect and poor user experience. Utility Model Content

[0005] This utility model aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. Therefore, one objective of this utility model is to provide an air conditioner in which the airflow guiding structure is only located in the first diversion channel. This guiding structure allows more airflow to flow through the first diversion channel to the first air outlet, preventing most of the airflow from flowing through the second diversion channel to the second air outlet. This allows for a more even distribution of airflow to the left and right, balancing the airflow volume at the first and second air outlets, and simultaneously meeting the needs of long-distance air delivery and near-field coverage, resulting in better airflow performance.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, an air conditioner is provided according to an embodiment of the present invention. The air conditioner includes: a housing adapted for placement on the ground, wherein the housing has an air inlet, a first air outlet, and a second air outlet, the first air outlet and the second air outlet being arranged along the left-right direction of the air conditioner; a heat exchanger disposed within the housing; an air duct assembly disposed within the housing and located on the side of the heat exchanger facing the first air outlet and the second air outlet; and a fan assembly disposed within the air duct assembly, wherein the fan assembly drives indoor air to enter the housing from the air inlet, and the indoor air, after exchanging heat with the heat exchanger, flows through the air duct assembly and the first and / or second air outlets. Returning indoors; the air conditioner further includes: a diversion grille, the diversion grille being disposed within the housing and located on the side of the air duct component facing the first air outlet and the second air outlet, the diversion grille having a first diversion channel and a second diversion channel, the first diversion channel and the second diversion channel being arranged along the left-right direction, the first diversion channel being connected to the first air outlet, and the second diversion channel being connected to the second air outlet; wherein, the diversion grille includes: a frame, the frame forming the first diversion channel and the second diversion channel; a flow guiding structure, the flow guiding structure being disposed only within the first diversion channel, the flow guiding structure guiding the airflow flowing towards the diversion grille through the first diversion channel to the first air outlet.

[0007] The aforementioned technical solution has the following advantages or beneficial effects: It is understood that the first and second air outlets are arranged along the left-right direction of the air conditioner, while the airflow direction of the ductwork is not entirely forward; the airflow exiting the ductwork will tilt to one side in the left-right direction. For example, the airflow exiting the ductwork will tend to flow towards the second diversion channel. By placing the guide structure only within the first diversion channel, more airflow can be directed to the first diversion channel and then to the first air outlet. This avoids most of the airflow from flowing to the second air outlet through the second diversion channel, thus allowing the airflow to be evenly distributed left and right, which helps to balance the airflow volume of the first and second air outlets, resulting in better airflow performance. Moreover, the airflow guiding structure is only located in the first diversion channel, while the second diversion channel can form a large channel. The airflow resistance is smaller when the airflow passes through the second diversion channel, which can increase the airflow velocity. The airflow can be delivered over long distances through the second air outlet. Thus, the air conditioner can meet the needs of both long-distance air delivery and near-field coverage, resulting in better air delivery performance.

[0008] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the flow guiding structure is constructed as flow guiding ribs, the flow guiding ribs extend in the vertical direction, and the upper and lower ends of the flow guiding ribs are respectively connected to the frame; and there are multiple flow guiding ribs, and the multiple flow guiding ribs are arranged at intervals in the horizontal direction.

[0009] The above-mentioned technical solution has the following advantages or beneficial effects: it can guide the airflow through multiple guide ribs, thereby improving the guiding effect of the airflow and allowing more airflow to flow through the first diversion channel to the first air outlet, thereby increasing the airflow of the first air outlet and balancing the airflow of the first and second air outlets.

[0010] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the guide rib includes: a first guide section that extends forward along the front-rear direction of the air conditioner, the first guide section extending obliquely toward the direction of the second diversion channel; and a second guide section that is connected to the front side of the first guide section and extends forward along the front-rear direction of the air conditioner, the second guide section extending obliquely away from the direction of the second diversion channel.

[0011] The above-mentioned technical solution has the following advantages or beneficial effects: the cross-sectional shape of the guide ribs can be constructed as a "V" shape. Therefore, the first guide section can direct the airflow to the second guide section, and the second guide section can direct the airflow to the first air outlet, so that more airflow flows through the first diversion channel to the first air outlet, thereby increasing the airflow volume of the first air outlet and balancing the airflow volumes of the first and second air outlets.

[0012] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the guide rib includes: a first guide rib, which is connected to the frame and divides the frame into a first diversion channel and a second diversion channel; and a plurality of second guide ribs, which are disposed in the first diversion channel and spaced apart from the first guide rib.

[0013] The above-mentioned technical solution has the following advantages or beneficial effects: the first guide rib can play a role in diverting the airflow. The airflow from the duct component can be divided into two parts in the left and right direction by the first guide rib. The two parts of the airflow then flow to the first diversion channel and the second diversion channel respectively. Furthermore, the second guide rib can guide the airflow flowing into the first diversion channel, which is conducive to improving the guiding effect on the outlet airflow, so that more airflow can flow along the first diversion channel to the first air outlet, so that the outlet airflow is evenly distributed on the left and right.

[0014] According to some embodiments of the present invention, along the front-rear direction of the air conditioner, the rear side of the first guide rib extends rearward beyond the rear side of the second guide rib.

[0015] The above-mentioned technical solution has the following advantages or beneficial effects: it can better divert and guide the airflow from the air duct component by utilizing the first guide rib, so that more airflow flows to the first diversion channel to balance the airflow volume of the first air outlet and the second air outlet, and it is also conducive to reducing the turbulence or eddies of the airflow, thereby reducing the noise generated by the airflow.

[0016] According to some embodiments of the present invention, along the front-rear direction of the air conditioner, the front side of the first guide rib is flush with the front side of the second guide rib.

[0017] The above-mentioned technical solution has the following advantages or beneficial effects: the front structure of the first and second guide ribs is more regular, that is, the front structure of the diversion grille can be more regular, which can avoid the generation of turbulence or vortex in the airflow, which is conducive to reducing the noise generated by the airflow, further reducing the noise generated by the air conditioner during operation, and providing a better user experience.

[0018] According to some embodiments of the present invention, a panel frame is provided on the front side of the housing, and a guide gap is formed between the front side of the first guide rib and the inner side of the panel frame, so that part of the airflow flowing through the second diversion channel flows into the first air outlet through the guide gap.

[0019] The above-mentioned technical solution has the following advantages or beneficial effects: part of the airflow flowing to the second air outlet through the second diversion channel can flow to the first air outlet through the guide gap, that is, the airflow to the first air outlet is further increased, so that the air volume of the first air outlet and the second air outlet is more balanced, so as to achieve balanced air supply on both sides of the air conditioner.

[0020] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the diversion grid further includes: a plurality of connecting ribs, the connecting ribs extending in the left-right direction, the plurality of connecting ribs being arranged at intervals in the up-down direction, the left and right ends of the connecting ribs being respectively connected to the frame, and the first flow guide rib and the second flow guide rib being respectively connected to the connecting ribs.

[0021] The above-mentioned technical solution has the following advantages or beneficial effects: it can improve the overall structural strength of the diversion grille, and the first and second guide ribs are less prone to deformation, so as to better divert and guide the airflow, resulting in a better guiding effect.

[0022] According to some embodiments of the present invention, along the left-right direction of the air conditioner, the width of the first diversion channel is greater than the width of the second diversion channel.

[0023] The above-mentioned technical solution has the following advantages or beneficial effects: This setting can further increase the airflow through the first diversion channel, so that more airflow can flow through the first diversion channel to the first air outlet, more effectively balancing the airflow of the first air outlet and the second air outlet, and thus better achieving balanced air supply from both sides of the air outlet of the air conditioner.

[0024] An air conditioner is provided according to an embodiment of the present invention. The air conditioner includes: a housing adapted for placement on the ground, the housing having an air inlet, a first air outlet, and a second air outlet, the first air outlet and the second air outlet being arranged along the left-right direction of the air conditioner; a heat exchanger disposed within the housing; an air duct assembly disposed within the housing and located on the side of the heat exchanger facing the first air outlet and the second air outlet; and a fan assembly disposed within the air duct assembly, the fan assembly driving indoor air to enter the housing from the air inlet, and the indoor air expelled from the air duct assembly and the first air outlet and / or the second air outlet after exchanging heat with the heat exchanger. The air outlet flows back into the room; the air conditioner further includes: a diversion grille, which is disposed inside the housing and located on the side of the air duct component facing the first air outlet and the second air outlet. The diversion grille has a first diversion channel and a second diversion channel, which are arranged along the left-right direction. The first diversion channel is connected to the first air outlet, and the second diversion channel is connected to the second air outlet. The first diversion channel has a flow guiding structure, which guides the airflow towards the diversion grille to the first air outlet through the first diversion channel. The second diversion channel does not have a flow guiding structure to form a low flow resistance channel.

[0025] The aforementioned technology offers the following advantages or beneficial effects: By placing the airflow guiding structure solely within the first diversion channel, more airflow is directed to this channel and then to the first air outlet. This prevents most of the airflow from flowing through the second diversion channel to the second air outlet, thus ensuring a more even distribution of airflow. This balances the airflow volume between the first and second air outlets, resulting in better airflow performance. Furthermore, the second diversion channel, without a guiding structure, is designed as a large, low-resistance channel. The airflow resistance is lower, increasing the airflow velocity. This allows for long-distance air delivery through the second air outlet. Consequently, the air conditioner can meet both long-distance and near-field coverage requirements, resulting in better airflow performance and a better user experience.

[0031] In the description of this utility model, "first feature" and "second feature" may include one or more of the features.

[0032] In the description of this utility model, "multiple" means two or more, and "several" means one or more.

[0033] The air conditioner 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0034] like Figures 1-7 As shown in the attached figure, the up-down direction is the up-down direction of air conditioner 1, the front-back direction is the front-back direction of air conditioner 1, and the left-right direction is the left-right direction of air conditioner 1.

[0035] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the air conditioner 1 may include a housing 100, which is suitable for placement on the ground. The housing 100 is provided with an air inlet 110, a first air outlet 120, and a second air outlet 130. The first air outlet 120 and the second air outlet 130 are arranged along the left and right direction of the air conditioner 1. The air conditioner 1 of the present invention may be a cabinet air conditioner.

[0036] With this configuration, indoor air can enter the housing 100 through the air inlet 110 and flow into the room through the first air outlet 120 and the second air outlet 130 on the left and right sides respectively, so as to achieve multi-angle and multi-directional air supply of the air conditioner 1.

[0037] Air conditioner 1 may include a heat exchanger 300, which is disposed inside the housing 100. This allows the air flowing into the housing 100 to exchange heat with the heat exchanger 300. The air after heat exchange flows into the room through the first air outlet 120 and the second air outlet 130 to cool or heat the room.

[0038] The air conditioner 1 may also include a duct component 500, which is disposed inside the housing 100 and located on the side of the heat exchanger 300 facing the first air outlet 120 and the second air outlet 130. That is, in the direction of the airflow, the duct component 500 may be located downstream of the heat exchanger 300. In this way, the duct component 500 can guide the airflow after heat exchange, so that the airflow direction is more orderly. The airflow can flow along the duct component 500 to the air outlet and then flow into the room.

[0039] The air conditioner 1 may include a fan assembly 400, which is disposed in the air duct 500. The fan assembly 400 drives indoor air to enter the housing 100 from the air inlet 110, and after exchanging heat with the heat exchanger 300, the indoor air flows back into the room through the air duct 500 and the first air outlet 120 and / or the second air outlet 130.

[0040] The fan assembly 400 can draw indoor air into the housing 100 to increase the airflow velocity at the air inlet 110, the first air outlet 120, and the second air outlet 130. Driven by the fan assembly 400, more airflow can exchange heat with the heat exchanger 300 to improve the heat exchange efficiency of the air conditioner 1. The airflow after heat exchange can flow into the room through the first air outlet 120 and / or the second air outlet 130, which can better cool or heat the room and improve the energy efficiency of the air conditioner 1.

[0041] The air conditioner 1 may also include a diversion grille 200, which is disposed inside the housing 100 and located on the side of the air duct 500 facing the first air outlet 120 and the second air outlet 130. The diversion grille 200 is provided with a first diversion channel 211 and a second diversion channel 212, which are arranged in a left-right direction. The first diversion channel 211 is connected to the first air outlet 120, and the second diversion channel 212 is connected to the second air outlet 130.

[0042] For example, the first diversion channel 211 can be located on the right side of the diversion grille 200, and the second diversion channel 212 can be located on the left side of the diversion grille 200; or, the first diversion channel 211 can be located on the left side of the diversion grille 200, and the second diversion channel 212 can be located on the right side of the diversion grille 200.

[0043] Therefore, the airflow inside the air conditioner 1 can be diverted to the first diversion channel 211 and the second diversion channel 212 under the guidance of the diversion grille 200. That is, part of the airflow can flow along the first diversion channel 211 to the first air outlet 120 and then into the room through the first air outlet 120, while another part of the airflow can flow along the second diversion channel 212 to the second air outlet 130 and then into the room through the second air outlet 130. In this way, the airflow inside the air conditioner 1 can be diverted by the diversion grille 200 and directed to the first air outlet 120 and the second air outlet 130 respectively, so as to realize multi-angle and multi-directional air supply of the air conditioner 1.

[0044] The diversion grille 200 may include a frame 210, which forms a first diversion channel 211 and a second diversion channel 212. The diversion grille 200 may include a guide structure 220, which is only located in the first diversion channel 211. The guide structure 220 guides the airflow to the diversion grille 200 through the first diversion channel 211 to the first air outlet 120.

[0045] In other words, the flow guiding structure 220 is only provided in the first diversion channel 211, and the flow guiding structure 220 is not provided in the second diversion channel 212. This allows the second diversion channel 212 to form a large channel with low flow resistance.

[0046] It is understandable that the first air outlet 120 and the second air outlet 130 are arranged along the left and right direction of the air conditioner 1, but the air outlet direction of the duct component 500 is not entirely forward. The airflow from the duct component 500 will tilt to one side in the left and right direction. For example, the airflow from the duct component 500 will tend to flow towards the second diversion channel 212. By placing the guide structure 220 only in the first diversion channel 211, more airflow can be guided to the first diversion channel 211 through the guide structure 220, and then flow to the first air outlet 120 through the first diversion channel 211. This can prevent most of the airflow from flowing to the second air outlet 130 through the second diversion channel 212, so that the airflow can be evenly distributed left and right, which is conducive to balancing the airflow volume of the first air outlet 120 and the second air outlet 130, resulting in better airflow performance.

[0047] Moreover, the airflow guiding structure 220 is only located in the first diversion channel 211, and the second diversion channel 212 can form a large channel. The airflow resistance is smaller when the airflow passes through the second diversion channel 212, thereby increasing the airflow velocity. The airflow can be delivered over long distances through the second air outlet 130. Thus, the air conditioner 1 can meet the needs of both long-distance air delivery and near-field coverage, resulting in better air delivery effect and a better user experience.

[0048] Thus, according to the embodiment of the present invention, the air conditioner 1 has the air guiding structure 220 only in the first diversion channel 211. The air guiding structure 220 allows more airflow to flow through the first diversion channel 211 to the first air outlet 120, thereby preventing most of the airflow from flowing through the second diversion channel 212 to the second air outlet 130. This allows the airflow to be evenly distributed to the left and right, balancing the airflow volume of the first air outlet 120 and the second air outlet 130, and also taking into account both long-distance air delivery and near-field coverage requirements, resulting in better airflow performance.

[0049] In some specific embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 6 As shown, the flow guiding structure 220 is constructed as a flow guiding rib 230, which extends in the vertical direction, and the upper and lower ends of the flow guiding rib 230 are respectively connected to the frame 210.

[0050] By connecting the two ends of the guide rib 230 to the frame 210 respectively, the guide rib 230 can be prevented from shaking, so that the guide rib 230 can stably guide the airflow. In addition, the guide rib 230 extends in the vertical direction and can guide the airflow in the horizontal direction, so that the airflow can flow through the first diversion channel 211 to the first air outlet 120.

[0051] In addition, there are multiple guide ribs 230, and the multiple guide ribs 230 are arranged at intervals in the left and right direction. In this way, the multiple guide ribs 230 can guide the airflow together, which further improves the guiding effect of the airflow. This allows more airflow to flow through the first diversion channel 211 to the first air outlet 120, thereby increasing the airflow of the first air outlet 120 and balancing the airflow of the first air outlet 120 and the second air outlet 130.

[0052] Furthermore, such as Figure 7 As shown, the airflow guide rib 230 may include a first airflow guide section 231, which extends forward along the front-rear direction of the air conditioner 1. The first airflow guide section 231 extends obliquely towards the direction close to the second diversion channel 212. With this configuration, the extension angle of the first airflow guide section 231 can be close to the airflow from the air duct component 500. The airflow from the air duct component 500 can be guided more smoothly by the first airflow guide section 231, which is beneficial to improving the airflow guide effect of the airflow guide rib 230 and can reduce the noise during airflow.

[0053] The guide rib 230 may include a second guide section 232, which is connected to the front side of the first guide section 231 and extends forward along the front-back direction of the air conditioner 1. The second guide section 232 extends obliquely away from the second diversion channel 212.

[0054] That is, the cross-sectional shape of the guide rib 230 can be constructed as a "V" shape.

[0055] Therefore, the first guide section 231 can guide the airflow to the second guide section 232, and the second guide section 232 can guide the airflow to the first air outlet 120, so that more airflow can flow to the first air outlet 120 through the first diversion channel 211, thereby increasing the airflow of the first air outlet 120, and preventing most of the airflow from flowing to the second air outlet 130 through the second diversion channel 212, which is conducive to balancing the airflow of the first air outlet 120 and the second air outlet 130.

[0056] In some specific embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 6 As shown, the flow guide rib 230 may include a first flow guide rib 233, which is connected to the frame 210 and divides the frame 210 into a first flow channel 211 and a second flow channel 212.

[0057] In other words, the first guide rib 233 can act as a diversion channel. The airflow from the duct 500 can be divided into two parts in the left and right direction by the first guide rib 233, and the two parts of airflow then flow to the first diversion channel 211 and the second diversion channel 212 respectively.

[0058] The flow guide rib 230 may include a plurality of second flow guide ribs 234, which are disposed in the first flow diversion channel 211 and spaced apart from the first flow guide rib 233.

[0059] The multiple second guide ribs 234 can be evenly spaced along the left and right directions, and the first guide rib 233 and the multiple second guide ribs 234 can also be evenly spaced along the left and right directions.

[0060] With this configuration, multiple second guide ribs 234 can guide the airflow flowing into the first diversion channel 211, which helps to improve the guiding effect on the exhaust airflow. This allows more airflow to flow along the first diversion channel 211 to the first air outlet 120 and then into the room through the first air outlet 120. This ensures that the exhaust airflow is evenly distributed to the left and right, and the exhaust airflow flowing out through the first air outlet 120 can better cover the near-field area, resulting in a better user experience.

[0061] Furthermore, such as Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, along the front-rear direction of the air conditioner 1, the rear side of the first guide rib 233 extends rearward beyond the rear side of the second guide rib 234.

[0062] That is, the rear side of the first guide rib 233 and the rear side of the second guide rib 234 are staggered in the front-back direction.

[0063] In this way, the first guide rib 233 can extend further in the front-to-back direction, thereby better diverting and guiding the airflow from the duct component 500. Under the guidance of the first guide rib 233, more airflow can flow to the first diversion channel 211 to balance the airflow volume of the first air outlet 120 and the second air outlet 130. Moreover, this arrangement helps to reduce airflow turbulence or eddies, thereby reducing the noise generated by airflow and thus reducing the noise generated by the air conditioner 1 during operation, which is beneficial to improving the user experience.

[0064] In some specific embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, along the front-rear direction of the air conditioner 1, the front side of the first guide rib 233 is flush with the front side of the second guide rib 234.

[0065] This configuration not only allows for a longer extension length of the first guide rib 233 and the second guide rib 234 in the front-to-back direction, enabling them to better guide the airflow, but also makes the front structure of the first guide rib 233 and the second guide rib 234 more regular. That is, the front structure of the diversion grille 200 can be more regular, thereby avoiding turbulence or eddies in the airflow, which helps reduce the noise generated by the airflow and further reduces the noise generated by the air conditioner 1 during operation, resulting in a better user experience.

[0066] In some specific embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the front side of the housing 100 is provided with a panel frame 140, and the front side of the first guide rib 233 and the inner side of the panel frame 140 are spaced apart to form a guide gap 141, so that part of the airflow flowing through the second diversion channel 212 flows into the first air outlet 120 through the guide gap 141.

[0067] In other words, part of the airflow that flows through the second diversion channel 212 to the second air outlet 130 can flow through the guide gap 141 to the first air outlet 120, which further increases the airflow to the first air outlet 120, so that the airflow from the first air outlet 120 and the second air outlet 130 is more balanced, so as to achieve balanced air supply on both sides of the air conditioner 1.

[0068] In some specific embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 6 As shown, the diversion grille 200 may also include multiple connecting ribs 235.

[0069] The connecting ribs 235 extend in the left and right directions, and multiple connecting ribs 235 are arranged at intervals in the up and down directions. The left and right ends of the connecting ribs 235 are respectively connected to the frame 210, and the first guide rib 233 and the second guide rib 234 are respectively connected to the connecting ribs 235.

[0070] The left and right ends of the connecting rib 235 are connected to the frame 210 respectively, so that the connecting rib 235 can be stably fixed to the frame 210. The first guide rib 233 and the second guide rib 234 are fixed by multiple connecting ribs 235, which can improve the overall structural strength of the diversion grille 200. The first guide rib 233 and the second guide rib 234 are less prone to deformation, so as to better divert and guide the airflow and achieve better diversion effect.

[0071] In some specific embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, along the left-right direction of the air conditioner 1, the width of the first diversion channel 211 is greater than the width of the second diversion channel 212. This arrangement can further increase the airflow through the first diversion channel 211, allowing more airflow to flow through the first diversion channel 211 to the first air outlet 120, thus more effectively balancing the airflow of the first air outlet 120 and the second air outlet 130, and thereby better achieving balanced airflow from both sides of the air conditioner 1.

[0072] The air conditioner 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0073] like Figures 1-7 As shown, the air conditioner 1 according to this utility model embodiment may include a housing 100, which is suitable for being placed on the ground. The housing 100 is provided with an air inlet 110, a first air outlet 120 and a second air outlet 130, which are arranged along the left and right direction of the air conditioner 1.

[0074] With this configuration, indoor air can enter the housing 100 through the air inlet 110 and flow into the room through the first air outlet 120 and the second air outlet 130 on the left and right sides respectively, so as to achieve multi-angle and multi-directional air supply of the air conditioner 1.

[0075] Air conditioner 1 may include a heat exchanger 300, which is disposed inside the housing 100. This allows the air flowing into the housing 100 to exchange heat with the heat exchanger 300. The air after heat exchange flows into the room through the first air outlet 120 and the second air outlet 130 to cool or heat the room.

[0076] The air conditioner 1 may also include a duct component 500, which is disposed inside the housing 100 and located on the side of the heat exchanger 300 facing the first air outlet 120 and the second air outlet 130. That is, in the direction of the airflow, the duct component 500 may be located downstream of the heat exchanger 300. In this way, the duct component 500 can guide the airflow after heat exchange, so that the airflow direction is more orderly. The airflow can flow along the duct component 500 to the air outlet and then flow into the room.

[0077] The air conditioner 1 may include a fan assembly 400, which is disposed in the air duct 500. The fan assembly 400 drives indoor air to enter the housing 100 from the air inlet 110, and after exchanging heat with the heat exchanger 300, the indoor air flows back into the room through the air duct 500 and the first air outlet 120 and / or the second air outlet 130.

[0078] The fan assembly 400 can draw indoor air into the housing 100 to increase the airflow velocity at the air inlet 110, the first air outlet 120, and the second air outlet 130. Driven by the fan assembly 400, more airflow can exchange heat with the heat exchanger 300 to improve the heat exchange efficiency of the air conditioner 1. The airflow after heat exchange can flow into the room through the first air outlet 120 and / or the second air outlet 130, which can better cool or heat the room and improve the energy efficiency of the air conditioner 1.

[0079] The air conditioner 1 may also include a diversion grille 200, which is disposed inside the housing 100 and located on the side of the air duct 500 facing the first air outlet 120 and the second air outlet 130. The diversion grille 200 is provided with a first diversion channel 211 and a second diversion channel 212, which are arranged in a left-right direction. The first diversion channel 211 is connected to the first air outlet 120, and the second diversion channel 212 is connected to the second air outlet 130.

[0080] For example, the first diversion channel 211 can be located on the right side of the diversion grille 200, and the second diversion channel 212 can be located on the left side of the diversion grille 200; or, the first diversion channel 211 can be located on the left side of the diversion grille 200, and the second diversion channel 212 can be located on the right side of the diversion grille 200.

[0081] Therefore, the airflow inside the air conditioner 1 can be diverted to the first diversion channel 211 and the second diversion channel 212 under the guidance of the diversion grille 200. That is, part of the airflow can flow along the first diversion channel 211 to the first air outlet 120 and then into the room through the first air outlet 120, while another part of the airflow can flow along the second diversion channel 212 to the second air outlet 130 and then into the room through the second air outlet 130. In this way, the airflow inside the air conditioner 1 can be diverted by the diversion grille 200 and directed to the first air outlet 120 and the second air outlet 130 respectively, so as to realize multi-angle and multi-directional air supply of the air conditioner 1.

[0082] The first diversion channel 211 is provided with a flow guiding structure 220, which guides the airflow to the diversion grille 200 through the first diversion channel 211 to the first air outlet 120. The second diversion channel 212 is not provided with a flow guiding structure 220 to form a low flow resistance channel.

[0083] In other words, the flow guiding structure 220 is only provided in the first diversion channel 211, and the flow guiding structure 220 is not provided in the second diversion channel 212. This allows the second diversion channel 212 to form a large channel with low flow resistance.

[0084] By placing the airflow guiding structure 220 only within the first diversion channel 211, more airflow can be directed to the first diversion channel 211 and flow to the first air outlet 120 through the first diversion channel 211. This avoids most of the airflow flowing to the second air outlet 130 through the second diversion channel 212, thus allowing the airflow to be evenly distributed from left to right. This helps to balance the airflow volume of the first air outlet 120 and the second air outlet 130, resulting in better airflow performance.

[0085] Moreover, the second diversion channel 212 does not have a flow guide structure 220 to form a large channel with low flow resistance. The flow resistance of the airflow is smaller when it flows through the second diversion channel 212, which can increase the flow velocity of the air outlet. The air outlet can achieve long-distance air delivery through the second air outlet 130. Thus, the air conditioner 1 can meet the needs of long-distance air delivery and near-field coverage, resulting in better air delivery effect and better user experience.

[0086] Thus, according to the embodiment of the present invention, the air conditioner 1 has the air guiding structure 220 only in the first diversion channel 211. The air guiding structure 220 allows more airflow to flow through the first diversion channel 211 to the first air outlet 120, thereby preventing most of the airflow from flowing through the second diversion channel 212 to the second air outlet 130. This allows the airflow to be evenly distributed to the left and right, balancing the airflow volume of the first air outlet 120 and the second air outlet 130, and also taking into account both long-distance air delivery and near-field coverage requirements, resulting in better airflow performance.

[0087] Other components and operations of the air conditioner 1 according to the embodiments of the present invention are known to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here.

[0088] The air conditioner 1 of this invention performs a refrigeration cycle by using a compressor, a condenser, an expansion valve, and an evaporator. The refrigeration cycle includes a series of processes involving compression, condensation, expansion, and evaporation, and supplies refrigerant to the conditioned and heat-exchanged air.

[0089] The compressor compresses refrigerant gas under high temperature and pressure and discharges the compressed refrigerant gas. The discharged refrigerant gas flows into the condenser. The condenser condenses the compressed refrigerant into a liquid phase, and the heat is released to the surrounding environment through the condensation process.

[0090] The expansion valve expands the high-temperature, high-pressure liquid refrigerant condensed in the condenser into a low-pressure liquid refrigerant. The evaporator evaporates the expanded refrigerant in the expansion valve and returns the low-temperature, low-pressure refrigerant gas to the compressor. The evaporator achieves a cooling effect by utilizing the latent heat of refrigerant evaporation to exchange heat with the material being cooled. Throughout the cycle, air conditioner 1 regulates the temperature and humidity of the indoor space.
