Solution Overview

Problem

Existing air conditioners in windless feeling mode reduce cooling efficiency and fail to meet user needs due to direct air blowing being avoided, leading to discomfort and inefficient cooling.

Innovation Solution

An air conditioner with an adjustable air output assembly, including a detection device for target positioning and a controller to adjust the air output angle, combined with air diffusers and deflectors, ensures windless blowing on the target while increasing air supply volume elsewhere, enhancing cooling efficiency.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Object-affected harmful factors

If the air conditioner operates in windless feeling mode to avoid direct air blowing on users, then user comfort is improved, but cooling efficiency deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvedirect air blowing on userVSAvoidcooling efficiency

Core Design Contradiction:

Object-affected harmful factorsVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The air outlet is divided into multiple independent air output assemblies, each capable of independent angle adjustment. This segmentation allows different regions of the air outlet to serve different functions: some regions direct air away from the user for comfort, while others maintain direct blowing for cooling efficiency.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Different parts of the air outlet are assigned different air output angles based on local requirements. The air output assembly near the user is adjusted to a larger angle to avoid direct blowing, while other parts maintain smaller angles for effective cooling, creating local quality differences in air delivery.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #3Local quality

2Object-affected harmful factors

If the air output angle is adjusted to prevent direct blowing on the target, then user comfort is improved, but air supply volume in other directions deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvedirect air blowing on targetVSAvoidair supply volume

Core Design Contradiction:

Object-affected harmful factorsVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The air output assembly is designed with dynamic angle adjustment capability, allowing the air output angle to change based on real-time target position detection. The controller continuously adjusts the air output assembly angle according to the detected target location, optimizing both comfort and air supply volume dynamically.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system incorporates a detection device that provides feedback on target position information to the controller. Based on this feedback, the controller adjusts the air output assembly angle to prevent direct blowing on the target while maintaining optimal air supply volume in other directions.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #23Feedback
