Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air conditioning technology, and more specifically, to a wall-mounted indoor air conditioning unit and an air conditioner. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, air conditioner air outlet control mainly relies on a single air guide vane or fixed air duct structure, resulting in a relatively singular air outlet direction, which makes it difficult to meet users' diverse needs for air supply modes. Traditional air conditioners typically use a rotating air guide vane to control the air outlet direction, but this has problems such as the air duct not closing properly, large airflow disturbance, and low air supply efficiency when switching between different air supply modes. Utility Model Content

[0029] Because current air conditioners use a single rotatable air guide vane for air outlet control, problems arise when switching between different air supply modes, such as the air duct 2 not closing, large airflow disturbance, and low air supply efficiency. To solve these technical problems, this embodiment proposes a wall-mounted air conditioner indoor unit, such as... Figures 1-5 As shown, the wall-mounted air conditioner indoor unit of this embodiment includes a housing 1 and an air guide assembly, wherein: The shell 1 has an internal cavity. The lower part of the shell 1 has an air outlet 11, and the upper part has an air inlet. An air duct 2 is located within the shell cavity, connecting the air inlet and the air outlet 11. The air duct 2 also houses a fan 3, which can be a cross-flow fan. An indoor heat exchanger 6 is also located within the shell cavity, positioned between the air duct 2 and the air inlet, and surrounding the fan 3.

[0030] The air outlet 11 includes a first air outlet area 101 and a second air outlet area 102. One of the first air outlet area 101 and the second air outlet area 102 is located at the front of the housing 1, and the other of the first air outlet area 101 and the second air outlet area 102 is located at the bottom of the housing 1. This allows for both front and bottom air outlets to be accommodated, while also achieving a larger air volume.

[0031] An air guide assembly is disposed on the housing 1, and includes a first air guide plate 4 and a second air guide plate 5. The first air guide plate 4 is rotatably disposed on the housing 1 at a position corresponding to the air outlet 11, and can open or close the first air outlet area 101. The second air guide plate 5 is slidably disposed on the housing 1 at a position corresponding to the second air outlet area 102, and can open or close the second air outlet area 102. The first air guide plate 4 and the second air guide plate 5 cooperate to open or close the air outlet 11. The air guide assembly mainly consists of two key parts, namely the first air guide plate 4 and the second air guide plate 5.

[0032] Specifically, the first air guide plate 4 can open or close the first air outlet area 101 as needed, thereby controlling the airflow direction and flow rate of the first air outlet area 101. Similarly, the second air guide plate 5 also has a similar adjustment function, and can open or close the second air outlet area 102 as needed, thereby controlling the airflow direction and flow rate of the second air outlet area 102. In terms of structural design, the first air guide plate 4 is rotatable relative to the housing 1. This design allows the first air guide plate 4 to be adjusted at different angles to adapt to different airflow requirements. The second air guide plate 5 is slidable relative to the housing 1. This sliding design allows for precise control of the opening and closing state of the first air outlet area 101. In addition, by having the first air guide plate 4 and the second air guide plate 5 work together to complete the opening or closing operation of the air outlet 11, the opening and closing control of the air outlet and the flexible adjustment of the airflow direction are realized, improving airflow efficiency and user comfort.

[0033] In this embodiment, the structure of the first air guide plate 4 and the second air guide plate 5 is not specifically limited. The first air guide plate 4 and the second air guide plate 5 can both be arc-shaped plate structures, or the first air guide plate 4 and the second air guide plate 5 can both be flat plate structures, or one of the first air guide plate 4 and the second air guide plate 5 can be a flat plate structure and the other is an arc-shaped plate structure. Specifically, it can be flexibly designed according to the structure of the shell surface where the first air vent area 101 and the second air guide plate 5 are located, as long as the state of the first air guide plate 4 closing the first air vent area 101 is adapted to the shell surface where the first air vent area 101 is located, and the state of the second air guide plate 5 closing the second air vent area 102 is adapted to the shell surface where the second air vent area 102 is located.

[0034] The number of the first air guide plate 4 and the second air guide plate 5 is not explicitly limited. For example, one of the first air guide plate 4 and one of the second air guide plates 5 may be provided, or multiple of the first air guide plate 4 and multiple of the second air guide plate 5 may be provided, or one of the first air guide plate 4 and one of the second air guide plates 5 may be provided, and multiple of the other may be provided. All of these are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0035] In this embodiment, the slidable second air guide plate 5 can flexibly cooperate with the rotatable second air guide plate 5 to form a complete closure and division of the air duct 2, improving the accuracy of airflow control. The rotatable first air guide plate 4 can achieve large-angle rotation, and together with the slidable first air guide plate 4, it can realize multiple air delivery methods of the air outlet 11.

[0036] In one optional implementation, the first air guide plate 4 is rotatable within the first air vent area 101 and / or the second air vent area 102, and the first air guide plate 4 includes multiple rotational positions. In another implementation, rotating shafts can be respectively provided at both ends of the first air guide plate 4 along its length, and connecting rods can be respectively provided on both sides of the housing 1 along its length, corresponding to the air outlet 11. One end of the connecting rod is rotatably connected to the housing 1, and the other end is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft. The connecting rods are driven to rotate between the first air vent area 101 and / or the second air vent area 102 by a first motor, thereby driving the first air guide plate 4 to rotate between the first air vent area 101 and / or the second air vent area 102, and the first air guide plate 4 can also be controlled to different positions between the first air vent area 101 and / or the second air vent area 102.

[0037] The second air guide plate 5 is slidable in the first direction and includes multiple sliding positions. In one implementation, a rack can be provided on the housing 1 near the second air vent area 102, and the rack is arranged along the first direction. The second air guide plate 5 is fixed on the rack, and a gear is connected to it through the drive shaft of the second motor. The gear meshes with the rack to make the second air guide plate 5 slide along the first direction, and the second air guide plate 5 can also be controlled at different positions in the first direction.

[0038] The first direction is the direction in which the first air vent area 101 extends towards the direction of the second air vent area 102. The first direction varies depending on the location of the first and second air vents. For example, if the first air vent area 101 is located at the front of the housing 1 and the second air vent area 102 is located at the bottom of the housing 1, then the first direction is the width direction of the housing 1. Alternatively, if the first air vent area 101 is located at the bottom of the housing 1 and the second air vent area 102 is located at the front of the housing 1, then the first direction is the height direction of the housing 1.

[0039] The first air guide plate 4 and the second air guide plate 5 can work together in different positions to keep the air outlet 11 in different states. By cooperating with the first air guide plate 4 in different rotation states and the second air guide plate 5 in different sliding states, the air outlet 11 can be closed or opened in different ways. This allows the airflow from the air outlet 11 to exit in different directions, achieving diversified airflow modes, meeting different indoor temperature control needs, and improving user comfort.

[0040] In one alternative implementation, the first air guide plate 4 and the second air guide plate 5 can be controlled independently. With the first air guide plate 4 closing the first air outlet area 101, the second air guide plate 5 can be controlled to different sliding positions to achieve airflow from the first air outlet area at different angles.

[0041] Alternatively, when the second air guide plate 5 closes the second air outlet area 102, the first air guide plate 4 can be controlled to rotate at different positions to allow airflow to exit from the second air outlet area 11 at different angles.

[0042] Alternatively, when the first air guide plate 4 opens the first air vent area 101 and the second air guide plate 5 opens the second air vent area 102, the first air guide plate 4 can be controlled to rotate at different positions and the second air guide plate 5 can be controlled to slide at different positions, so that the airflow can be discharged from the first air vent area 101 and / or the second air vent area 102 at different angles.

[0043] In one alternative implementation, one of the first air vent area 101 and the second air vent area 102 is located at the front of the housing 1, and the other of the first air vent area 101 and the second air vent area 102 is located at the bottom of the housing 1. Preferably, the first air vent area 101 is located at the front of the housing 1 to allow airflow to exit from the first air vent area 101 to the front of the housing 1, and the second air vent area 102 is located at the bottom of the housing 1 to allow airflow to exit from the second air vent area 102 to the bottom of the housing 1.

[0044] The following describes the different ways in which the first air guide plate 4 and the second air guide plate 5 are matched.

[0045] Reference Figure 1 The first air guide plate 4 includes a first rotating position. In the first rotating position, the first air guide plate 4 is positioned along a second direction and closes the first air vent area 101. The first direction is perpendicular to the second direction. For example, if the first direction is the width direction of the housing 1, the second direction is the height direction of the housing 1. The second air guide plate 5 includes a first sliding position in the first direction. In the first sliding position, the second air guide plate 5 closes the second air vent area 102. When the first air guide plate 4 is in the first rotating position and the second air guide plate 5 is in the first sliding position, the first air guide plate 4 and the second air guide plate 5 are in contact, and the air outlet 11 is closed to prevent dust from entering when the air conditioner is turned off.

[0046] Reference Figure 2The second air guide plate 5 includes a first end and a second end disposed opposite to each other. The first air guide plate 4 includes a second rotational position. In the second rotational position, the first end is located between the first air vent area 101 and the second air vent area 102, and the second end is deflected outward from the housing 1. The second air guide plate 5 opens the first air vent area 101 outward at a first preset angle. For example, the first air guide plate 4 is rotated outward and fixed between 30° and 60°. When the first air guide plate 4 is in the second rotational position and the second air guide plate 5 is in the first sliding state, the first air guide plate 4 and the second air guide plate 5 are in contact, and the air outlet 11 is in the first air outlet state. When the first air vent area 101 is located on the front side of the housing 1 and the second air vent area 102 is located at the bottom of the housing 1, upward airflow can be achieved. Of course, the first air vent area 101 can also be located at the bottom of the housing 1 and the second air vent area 102 can be located at the front of the housing 1, in which case downward airflow can be achieved.

[0047] Reference Figure 3 The second air guide plate 5 includes a second sliding position, in which the second air guide plate 5 at least partially opens the second air outlet area 102. Preferably, in the second sliding position, the second air guide plate 5 fully opens the second air outlet area 102. When the first air guide plate 4 is in the first rotating position and the second air guide plate 5 is in the second sliding position, the first air guide plate 4 and the second air guide plate 5 are separated, and the air outlet 11 is in the second air outlet state. When the first air outlet area 101 is located on the front side of the housing 1 and the second air outlet area 102 is located at the bottom of the housing 1, the airflow can be vertically downward. Of course, the first air outlet area 101 can also be located at the bottom of the housing 1 and the second air outlet area 102 can be located at the front of the housing 1, in which case the airflow can be horizontally outleted.

[0048] Reference Figure 4 The second air guide plate 5 includes a first end and a second end that are disposed opposite to each other. The second air guide plate 5 includes a third rotational position. In the third rotational position, the first end is located between the first air vent area 101 and the second air vent area 102, and the second end is deflected inward towards the housing 1. The second air guide plate 5 opens the first air vent area 101 inward at a second preset angle. For example, the first air guide plate 4 is rotated inward and fixed between 30° and 60°. When the first air guide plate 4 is in the third rotational position and the second air guide plate 5 is in the second sliding position, the first air guide plate 4 and the second air guide plate 5 are separated. Air outlet branches are formed on opposite sides of the first air guide plate 4, and the air outlet 11 is in the third air outlet state. At this time, the airflow blown out of the air outlet 11 is divided into two airflows by the first air guide plate 4, and they are discharged through the air outlet branches on both sides of the first air guide plate 4, with one airflow flowing upward and the other flowing downward.

[0049] Reference Figure 5The first air guide plate 4 includes a fourth rotational position, in which the first air guide plate 4 is positioned along a first direction and opens the first air vent area 101. The second air guide plate 5 includes a third sliding position in the first direction, in which the second air guide plate 5 partially opens the second air vent area 102. When the first air guide plate 4 is in the fourth rotational position and the second air guide plate 5 is in the third sliding position, the first air guide plate 4 and the second air guide plate 5 are in contact, and the first air guide plate 4 and the second air guide plate 5 cooperate to close the second air vent area 102, and the air outlet 11 is in a fourth air outlet state. When the first air vent area 101 is located on the front side of the housing 1 and the second air vent area 102 is located at the bottom of the housing 1, horizontal airflow can be achieved. Of course, the first air vent area 101 can also be located at the bottom of the housing 1 and the second air vent area 102 can be located at the front of the housing 1, in which case vertical downward airflow can be achieved.

[0050] This embodiment achieves the switching of multiple air outlet states through the linkage control of the first air guide plate 4 and the second air guide plate 5. It has a compact structure, flexible control, and high air supply efficiency, which improves user comfort and the overall performance of the air conditioner.

[0051] In one alternative implementation, the housing 1 is further provided with a receiving cavity 12 near the second air vent area 102. The receiving cavity 12 is arranged along a first direction and has a lateral opening. The second air guide plate 5 is slidably disposed within the receiving cavity 12 and can move into or out of the receiving cavity 12 through the lateral opening. (Refer to...) Figures 1-5 With the second air vent area 102 located at the bottom of the housing 1, the receiving cavity 12 is formed at the bottom of the housing 1 and is disposed along the width direction of the housing 1. When the second air guide plate 5 closes the second air vent area 102, the second air guide plate 5 moves out of the receiving cavity 12; when the second air guide plate 5 opens the second air vent area 102, the second air guide plate 5 moves into the receiving cavity 12 from the second air vent area 102.

[0052] In this embodiment, the first air guide plate 4 can be stored by setting the accommodating cavity 12, making the internal structure of the housing 1 more neat and compact, while avoiding the occurrence of condensation and mold growth on the first air guide plate 4 in the cooling mode.

[0053] This embodiment also provides an air conditioner, which includes the wall-mounted indoor unit described above. The air conditioner of this embodiment can completely seal the air outlet 11 when the air conditioner is off, and can also implement different air delivery methods when the air conditioner is on.

[0054] This embodiment can determine the air supply mode according to the user's control commands, and can also intelligently adjust the air supply mode according to the operating mode, indoor temperature and / or user location.

[0055] In a specific implementation, combined with Figures 1-5 The determination of the air supply method for an air conditioner includes the following steps: Step 1: Determine the air conditioner's operating mode. If it is in cooling mode, execute the cooling air supply strategy; if it is in heating mode, execute the heating air supply strategy.

[0056] Step 2: Obtain the temperature difference between the indoor ambient temperature and the target temperature. If the temperature difference is large (e.g., >2℃): Use a strong wind + directional air supply mode. For example, in cooling mode, air outlet 11 is in the first air supply state; in heating mode, air outlet 11 is in the second air supply state. If the temperature difference is small (e.g., ≤2℃): Use a medium wind + duct 2-segment or horizontal air supply mode, that is, air outlet 11 is in the third or fourth air supply state.

[0057] Step 3: Detect user location (optional) If the user is detected to be directly below the air conditioner: prioritize downward air supply or duct 2 split mode, i.e., the air outlet is in the second or third air supply state. If the user is directly in front of the air conditioner or in a distant area: prioritize horizontal air supply or upward air supply mode, i.e., the air outlet 11 is in the fourth air supply state or the first air supply state.

[0058] This is because when there is a large temperature difference, the air conditioner will automatically adjust the temperature after the user turns it on, causing the temperature difference to increase. Therefore, the user will feel either too hot or too cold, requiring direct airflow from duct 2. In cooling mode, depending on the user's location, if the user is directly below, split airflow is used, with some airflow blowing towards the user from the lower vents and some airflow directed further away, regulating the overall temperature in the far part of the room. If the user is directly in front or in a relatively far area, horizontal airflow is used, sending the cool air to a more distant area where it naturally settles, cooling the user. In heating mode, if the user is directly below, the downward airflow mode is activated. If the user is directly in front or in a relatively far area, split airflow is used, allowing airflow to travel further from the lower vents, while the upper vents regulate the overall room temperature.

[0059] When the temperature difference is small, it means that the room temperature is close to the preset temperature. Continuing to cool down / heat up will cause discomfort to the user. Therefore, it is necessary to adjust the position of the air vents. When cooling, use the upper air outlet to prevent direct airflow, and when heating, use the lower air outlet to prevent direct airflow.

[0060] If the user leaves, regardless of the temperature difference in the room, a more reasonable method should be used to regulate the indoor temperature to ensure that the temperature is as uniform as possible throughout the room when the user returns. Therefore, when cooling, an upward airflow mode should be used to distribute the air more evenly throughout the room and allow it to naturally settle from the top, resulting in a more uniform temperature throughout the room when the user enters. When heating, a downward airflow mode should be used, with the airflow directed to the bottom of the room, causing the warm air to rise and regulating the overall room temperature, again aiming for a more uniform temperature.

[0061] Step 4: Select the air supply mode and control the operation of the first air guide plate 4 and the second air guide plate 5.

[0062]

[0063] Step 5: Adjust dynamically based on feedback If the indoor temperature is close to the set value, reduce the fan speed and maintain the current air supply mode. If the user leaves or the environment changes, automatically switch to energy-saving mode or the default air supply direction (heating with bottom air supply / cooling with top air supply).
