[0022] Referring to Figures 1 to 8, the blower 10 of this embodiment includes a blower component 12 and two mounting components 11, where one end of the mounting component 11 is used to be mounted on an indoor unit 20 of the air conditioner, the blower component 12 includes a non-perforated guide plate 121 and an arc-shaped perforated windbreak plate 122, the windbreak plate 122 and the guide plate 121 are provided at the other end of the mounting component 11 and located at the air outlet of the indoor unit 20 of the air conditioner, the angle formed between the windbreak plate 122 and the guide plate 121 is acute, and the air conditioner air blown out from the air outlet is guided through the windbreak plate 122 and the guide plate 121 in different directions. In this embodiment, the windbreak plate 122 and the air guide plate 121 are provided at the other end of the mounting component 11 and positioned at the air outlet of the indoor air conditioning unit 20. At the same time, the angle formed between the windbreak plate 122 and the air guide plate 121 is set to an acute angle. This guides the conditioned air blown out from the air outlet in different directions, preventing the conditioned air from reflecting or refracting and returning to the vicinity of the air conditioner. This not only disperses the conditioned air and avoids direct blowing onto people, but also prevents backflow of the conditioned air, improves the error phenomenon in air conditioner temperature detection, and enhances people's perceived comfort.

[0023] In one embodiment, for example, in this embodiment, as shown in Figures 1 to 4, the blower 10 further includes an angle adjustment component 13, which is connected to the mounting component 11 and is provided between the windbreak plate 122 and the air guide plate 121 for use in adjusting the narrow angle. Specifically, the angle adjustment component 13 includes a connecting rod 131, a gear component and at least two support frames 132, the ends of which the connecting rod 131 are connected to the mounting component 11, the support frames 132 are sleeve-connected to the connecting rod 131 and are movable left and right on the connecting rod 131, and the gear component is provided on the support frames 132. More specifically, the support frame 132 is sleeve-connected to both ends of the connecting rod 131, the support frame 132 includes a first support plate 1321 and a second support plate 1322, the first support plate 1321 supports and fixes the air guide plate 121, the second support plate 1322 supports and fixes the windbreak plate 122, the gear component includes a gear 134 and a ratchet 135, the gear 134 is provided between the first support plate 1321 and the second support plate 1322, the ratchet 135 is provided on the second support plate 1322, the gear 134 and the ratchet 135 drive the second support plate 1322 to move relative to the first support plate 1321 to adjust the narrow angle. In this embodiment, the angle between the air guide plate 121 and the windbreak plate 122 is initially set to 45°, the air guide plate 121 is perpendicular to the air outlet, that is, the angle between the air guide plate 121 and the air outlet is set to 90°, and the angle between the first support plate 1321 and the second support plate 1322 is set to 45°. This allows the air guide plate 121 to better guide the airflow, blow the conditioned air away from the air outlet, effectively avoid backflow of the conditioned air, and improve the error phenomenon of air conditioning temperature detection. Furthermore, if it is necessary to adjust the angle between the air guide plate 121 and the windbreak plate 122, for example, if the angle is to be adjusted to 60°, the ratchet 135 can be turned 5° at each mark on the scale, pushing down the windbreak plate 122, and the angle between the windbreak plate 122 and the air guide plate 121 can be adjusted from 45° to 60°.Note that the clamping angle can also be adjusted to be smaller. For example, the clamping angle can be adjusted from 45° to 30°. Further, in this embodiment, the number of the support frames 132 is not specifically limited and is determined according to actual requirements.

[0024] In one embodiment, for example, in this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, FIGS. 5 and FIGS. 6, the second support plate 1322 has the same shape as the windproof plate 122. That is, the second support plate 1322 is an arc-shaped plate. An engaging hook 1323 is provided on the second support plate 1322. The windproof plate 122 is hooked by the engaging hook 1323 and is made to adhere to the windproof plate 122. Note that in this embodiment, the engaging hook 1323 hooks a hole on the windproof plate 122. The number of the engaging hooks 1323 is not specifically limited and is set according to actual requirements. For example, the number of the engaging hooks 1323 may be two or four. Note that the distance between the engaging hooks 1323 may be equally spaced or non-equally spaced, as long as the windproof plate 122 can be surely hooked.

[0025] In one embodiment, for example, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6, a through hole 1324 adapted to the connecting rod 131 is provided between the first support plate 1321 and the second support plate 1322. The connecting rod 131 is a right triangle connecting rod 131. The through hole 1324 is a right triangle through hole 1324. The hypotenuse of the right triangle through hole 1324 is provided parallel to the windproof plate 122. One right side of the right triangle through hole 1324 is provided parallel to the air guiding plate 121. The connecting rod 131 is fixed to the air guiding plate 121 and the windproof plate 122.

[0026] In one embodiment, for example, in this embodiment, as shown in Figures 1 to 6, the mounting component 11 includes a mounting bracket 111 and an extendable connecting arm 112, the mounting bracket 111 is used to be mounted on the air conditioning indoor unit 20, one end of the connecting arm 112 is connected to the mounting bracket 111, and the other end is provided with a connection part 113, an angle fixing component 114 connected to the connection part 113 and an insertion lug 115 that fits the connecting rod 131, the angle fixing component 114 is connected to the air guide plate 121 and the windbreak plate 122, the connecting rod 131 is inserted into the insertion lug 115, the cross section of the insertion lug 115 is a right triangle, the hypotenuse of the insertion lug 115 is provided parallel to the connecting rod 131 and one right-angle side of the insertion lug 115 is provided parallel to the connecting rod 131. Specifically, the angle fixing component 114 includes a first clamp plate 1141 and a second clamp plate 1142, and both the air guide plate 121 and the windbreak plate 122 are flexible plates. The first clamp plate 1141 is fixedly connected to the connecting portion 113 and is positioned close to the outside of the air guide plate 121 to fix it, and the second clamp plate 1142 is movably connected to the connecting portion 113 and is positioned close to the outside of the windbreak plate 122 to fix it, and the edges of the air guide plate 121 and the windbreak plate 122 are in close contact with the connecting arm 112.In this embodiment, the initial clamping angle between the first clamp plate 1141 and the second clamp plate 1142 is also 45°, and the second clamp plate 1142 is pushed down by rotating the ratchet 135 5° at each mark on the scale, thereby adjusting the clamping angle between the first clamp plate 1141 and the second clamp plate 1142, and furthermore, since both the windbreak plate 122 and the wind guide plate 121 are flexible plates, the windbreak plate When adjusting the angle between 122 and the air guide plate 121, the angle between the first clamp plate 1141 and the second clamp plate 1142 can be adjusted adaptively. For example, when adjusting the angle between the windbreak plate 122 and the air guide plate 121 to 60°, the angle between the first clamp plate 1141 and the second clamp plate 1142 can be adjusted to any angle between 45° and 60°, and the windbreak plate 122 and the air guide plate 121 can be fixed in place. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the connecting arm 112 is movably connected to the mounting bracket 111, a fixing jig is provided on the mounting bracket 111, the mounting bracket is detachably attached to both sides of the air conditioning indoor unit 20 by the fixing jig, the connecting part 113 is rotatable, and the connecting arm 112 is extendable and retractable. In other words, the retractability and rotatability of the connecting arm 112 and the coordinated operation with the angle adjustment component allow for flexible adjustment of the positions of the air guide plate 121 and the windbreak plate 122 at the air outlet, thereby meeting various airflow requirements of the user. In addition, the angle fixing component 114, the connecting rod 131, and the support frame 132 not only fix the windbreak plate 122 and the air guide plate 121, but also prevent the windbreak plate 122 and the air guide plate 121 from swaying due to the air conditioning airflow.

[0027] In one embodiment, for example, as shown in Figures 1 and 3, the windbreak plate 122 includes a plurality of guide holes 1221, the diameters of which vary, and the air conditioning air is dispersed and guided by the plurality of guide holes 1221 to adjust the temperature difference between the upper and lower surfaces of the windbreak plate 121. Note that in this embodiment, the diameter of the guide holes 1221 located in the middle of the windbreak plate 122 is larger than the diameter of the guide holes 1221 located on both sides of the windbreak plate 122 to better guide the air conditioning air. The reason for providing multiple air vents 1221 on the windbreak plate 122 is that without the air vents 1221, the windbreak plate 122 would be blown at an angle by the air conditioning air, causing the surface of the windbreak plate 122, which is blown at an angle, to quickly reach the air conditioning set temperature, thereby causing condensation on the air outlet and the windbreak plate 122. By providing multiple air vents on the windbreak plate 122, it is possible to disperse and guide the air conditioning air to effectively adjust the temperature difference on both sides of the windbreak plate 121, and also to effectively avoid the problem of condensation on the air outlet and the windbreak plate 122 caused by the air conditioning air being blown directly over a wide area on the windbreak plate 122. Furthermore, in this embodiment, since the air guide plate 121 is parallel to the ceiling, the design of parallel airflow guidance and inclined windbreak solves the current situation where the wind below the windbreak plate 122 is blown directly onto the wall surface and the wind above the windbreak plate 122 is blown directly onto the ceiling, thereby avoiding ceiling wetting and wall condensation.

[0028] The present application further provides an air conditioning system comprising an outdoor unit, an indoor unit 20, and the above-described blower 10, wherein the outdoor unit is connected to the indoor unit 20, and the blower 10 is mounted on the indoor unit 20, specifically, the indoor unit 20 is detachably connected to the blower 10, the blower 10 comprises the angle adjustment component 13, the angle fixing component 114, and the blower component 12, the blower component 12 comprises the windbreak plate 122 and the air guide plate 121. During actual use, after the indoor unit 20 and the outdoor unit have been installed, the blower 10 is attached to the indoor unit 20, and the air guide plate 121 and the windbreak plate 122 are adjusted by the connecting arm 112 and the angle adjustment component 13, so that the air guide plate 121 and the windbreak plate 122 better guide the conditioned air, thereby avoiding backflow of the conditioned air, improving the error phenomenon of conditioned temperature detection, and improving the perceived comfort of people.

[0029] The blower device provided in this application is configured to have a guide plate without holes and an arc-shaped perforated windbreak plate at the other end of the mounting component and positioned at the air outlet of the indoor unit of the air conditioner. At the same time, by setting the angle formed between the windbreak plate and the guide plate to an acute angle, the conditioned air blown out from the air outlet is guided in different directions. This prevents the conditioned air from reflecting or refracting and returning to the vicinity of the air conditioner, dispersing the conditioned air and avoiding direct blowing onto people. Furthermore, it also prevents backflow of the conditioned air, improves the error phenomenon in air conditioner temperature detection, and enhances the perceived comfort of people. Specifically, a windbreak plate with arc-shaped holes and a guide plate without holes are provided at the other end of the connecting arm and positioned at the air outlet of the indoor unit of the air conditioner. The angle between the windbreak plate and the guide plate can be adjusted using a support frame. After adjustment, the windbreak plate and the guide plate can be fixed using a first clamp plate, a second clamp plate, and a connecting rod. Furthermore, both ends of the connecting arm are rotatable, and the connecting arm is a telescopic arm. The position of the guide plate and windbreak plate can be flexibly adjusted using the connecting arm and angle adjustment component. This prevents backflow of air conditioner air, improves the error phenomenon of air conditioner temperature detection, enhances people's perceived comfort, and solves the problem of condensation at the air outlet and windbreak plate. The blower device disclosed in this application solves the conventional problems of backflow of air conditioner air and errors in air conditioner temperature detection.
