Referring to fig. 1 and 2, fig. 1 is a schematic operation diagram of an air guide assembly of an air conditioner according to the present invention, and fig. 2 is a schematic structure diagram of an air guide assembly of an air conditioner according to the present invention. As shown in fig. 1 and 2, the air conditioner of the present invention includes a casing 1 and an air outlet 11 provided on the casing 1. The heat exchange device and the air supply device of the air conditioner are contained in the shell 1, and the air supply device is arranged corresponding to the air channel in the shell 1, so that after heat or cold is transferred to air in the shell 1, chilled or heated air flow is blown out to the room through the air channel in the shell 1. The air conditioner further comprises an air guide assembly capable of controlling the flow direction of the cold air flow or the hot air flow. Specifically, the air guide assembly includes an air guide plate 2 rotatably connected to the housing and an air guide protrusion 3 provided in the housing 1. Wherein the air deflector 2 can open or close the air outlet 1 in a rotating manner. In the case of an open, inclined position of the air deflector 2, the right-hand, upwardly facing surface of the air deflector 2 is the windward side (i.e. the surface of the air duct facing the interior of the housing 1) and the left-hand, downwardly facing surface of the air deflector 2 is the leeward side (i.e. the surface facing away from the air duct of the interior of the housing 1), according to the orientation of fig. 1. The air deflector 2 divides the air outlet 11 into a windward opening part 111 and a leeward opening part 112. The windward portion 111 is a portion near the windward side of the air deflector 2, and the leeward portion 112 is a portion near the leeward side of the air deflector 2. The user can control the opening angle of the air guide plate 2 by the control device of the air conditioner so that the air guide plate 2 can guide the air flow in the housing 1 to flow indoors through the windward portion 111 along the opening angle. The wind guide protrusion 3 is provided to guide a part of the air flow in the case 1 to the outside through the leeward opening part 112 when the wind guide plate 2 is opened.
By providing the wind guiding protrusion 3 in the casing 1, the airflow flowing in the casing 1 near the wind guiding protrusion 3 can be changed in flow direction under the influence of the coanda effect, and thus guided to the vicinity of the leeward opening portion 112 by the wind guiding protrusion 3, and discharged into the room through the leeward opening portion 112. Under the combined guiding action of the air deflector 2 and the air guiding protrusion 3, one part of air flow in the shell 1 directly flows into the room through the windward opening part 111, and the other part flows out of the shell 1 in two modes of directly flowing through the windward opening part 112 and flowing through the windward opening part 112 after being guided by the air guiding protrusion 3, so that the air flow of the leeward side of the air deflector 2 is increased, the air flow of the air deflector 2 on the windward side and the air flow of the leeward side reach balance, and the leeward side of the air deflector 2 cannot be in air pressure difference with the windward side due to the too small air flow, and the air flow flowing along the windward side is prevented from being difficult to stably flow along a guiding angle due to the influence of the air pressure difference. The air outlet effect of the air conditioner is optimized to a great extent.
As a specific embodiment, the air guiding protrusion 3 has a triangular prism structure. The triangular prism structure is disposed along the length direction of the air outlet 11. Specifically, fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of a structure obtained by cutting an air conditioner in a lateral direction. In the orientation of fig. 1, the triangular prism structure is triangular in cross-section. The upward surface of the triangular prism is a windward surface facing the air supply device in the casing 1. The windward side is inclined toward the back wind port portion 112 so as to intercept a part of the air flow flowing toward the windward portion 111 in the case 1 and flow the part of the air flow along the windward side of the triangular prism, and guide the intercepted part of the air flow to the position of the back wind port portion 112, thereby increasing the air flow of the back wind port portion 112. As an example, the cross-section of the triangular prism structure is a right triangle. The prismatic surface formed by extending the hypotenuse of the right triangle along the length direction is the windward surface. Through setting up the bellied 3 of wind-guiding into triangular prism structure, can guarantee the bellied 3 of wind-guiding and the connection reliability of casing 1 for the damage rate of the bellied 3 of wind-guiding is lower, and the bellied 3 state of wind-guiding is comparatively firm during the wind-guiding, can not appear the vibration noise when being impacted by the air current.
Further, the windward side of the triangular prism structure is an inwardly concave arcuate surface (the lateral arcuate shape of the arcuate surface is similar to the dashed arcuate shape shown in fig. 1) that extends toward the back tuyere portion 112. When the windward side is an arc curved surface recessed toward the inside of the triangular prism structure, compared with the straight windward side, on one hand, the flow path of the arc curved surface is longer, so that the flow state of the air flow tends to be stable in the process of flowing along the arc curved surface, the condition that part of the air flow is impacted and rebounded to other positions by the windward side after the air flow directly collides with the straight side is improved, the disturbance of the air flow in the air duct of the shell 1 is reduced, and the air flow which normally flows through the windward opening part 111 cannot be influenced negatively. On the other hand, the curved surface is more easily arranged into a shape which can be well butted with the leeward opening part 112, so that most of the intercepted airflow can be guided to the vicinity of the leeward opening part 112, and the guiding effect is better.
Referring to fig. 2 again and with continued reference to fig. 1, fig. 2 is a schematic structural diagram of an air guiding assembly of an air conditioner according to the present invention. As shown in fig. 1 and 2, in order to reduce the influence of the wind guiding protrusion 3 on the normal air outlet path (i.e. flowing out through the windward portion 111), in a specific embodiment, the triangular prism structure is designed as follows: the length dimension of the triangular prism structure is equal to the length dimension of the air outlet 11. Of course, the length of the triangular prism structure may be larger or slightly smaller than the length of the air outlet 11, so as to avoid that it is difficult to uniformly air-out the whole leeward opening portion 112 when the length of the triangular prism structure is too small. The width and height dimensions of the triangular prism structure need to be set in combination with the specific width dimensions of the air outlet in order to avoid the triangular prism structure from blocking excessive air flow and to reduce the air flow of the air inlet portion 111. As an example, when the width of the air inlet is 41 mm, the projected width dimension a of the windward side of the triangular prism structure on the horizontal plane is 10 mm, so that a normal airflow path having a width dimension n of 31 mm is reserved for the windward opening portion 111. The width dimension b of the projection of the windward side of the triangular prism structure on the vertical plane is 20 mm. The vertical height dimension m from the lowest point of the triangular prism structure to the outer surface of the housing 1 is 50 mm. Of course, when the air guiding requirement, the size of the air outlet 11, the fixed position of the air guiding plate 2 or the common opening angle are changed, any one of the above size parameters can be adaptively adjusted by a person skilled in the art.
Although the above-described air guide protrusion 3 is described with reference to a triangular prism, this is not limitative, but in practice, only a specific shape of the air guide protrusion 3 is set so as to guide a part of the air flow in the housing 1 to the leeward opening portion 112. For example, in the case where only the air guiding requirement is considered, the air guiding protrusion 3 may also be a plate-like air guiding structure provided obliquely toward the back air port portion 112.
In order to avoid increasing the demolding difficulty of the shell 1, the wind guide protrusion 3 and the shell 1 adopt a split type structural design. In one possible embodiment, the air guiding protrusion 3 is a plastic piece made of ABS plastic, polycarbonate material (PC material), or the like. The plastic member is connected to the inside of the housing 1 by welding, adhesive bonding, or the like. The above connection mode does not need other auxiliary connection components, so that the addition of shielding objects except the air guide protrusion 3 in the air duct of the shell 1 can be avoided.
In order to further enhance the air supply effect of the air conditioner, preferably, the air guide assembly of the air conditioner further comprises an air guide rail 4 arranged in the casing 1. The wind guide rail 4 is provided so as to guide the airflow flowing toward the leeward opening portion 112 to flow along the leeward surface of the wind deflector 2. As shown in fig. 1, since the air flow flowing through the back air port portion 112 is located below the leeward side of the air deflector 2, a portion of the air flow flowing through the back air port portion 112 that is farther from the leeward side of the air deflector 2 is difficult to flow in the guiding direction of the air deflector 2. By the arrangement of the air guide track 4, most of the air flow can be guided to the vicinity of the leeward side of the air deflector 2 in the process of flowing through the leeward opening part 112, so that the air flow is promoted to flow along the leeward side of the air deflector 2, and the stable flowing state of the air flow of the leeward opening part 112 is ensured. In the case where the airflows of the windward side portion 111 and the leeward side portion 112 both flow along the air deflector 2, the difference in the airflows of the windward side and the leeward side of the air deflector 2 is minimized, and the balance degree of the airflows of the windward side and the leeward side of the air deflector 2 is higher, so that the overall airflows of the air outlet 11 are more stable, and the air outlet effect is further improved. In addition, when the air flow difference between the windward side and the leeward side of the air deflector 2 is smaller, the air contacted with the windward side and the leeward side of the air deflector basically has no temperature difference, and the condensation phenomenon of the air deflector 2 is basically avoided.
Further, as shown in fig. 1 and 2, the air guide rail 4 is a curved rail that is concave (i.e., recessed toward the inside of the housing 1). The radian of the curved track is set corresponding to the lee surface of the wind deflector 2. The above curved surface rail and the leeward side of the air guide plate 2 are guided together so that the air flow flowing through the leeward opening portion 112 can flow stably in the air guide direction of the air guide plate 2. Of course, in the case of satisfying the guiding requirement, the wind guiding rail 4 may be provided in a structure other than a curved rail, for example, a slope structure.
Referring next to fig. 3 and 4, fig. 3 is a flow effect diagram of an air flow (warm air) of a conventional air conditioner at a set air flow angle, and fig. 4 is a flow effect diagram of an air flow (warm air) of the air conditioner of the present invention at the same set air flow angle. As shown in fig. 3, in the case where the wind flow angle is set to 35 °, the air flow blown out from the conventional air conditioner may deviate from the direction of 35 ° after exiting the air outlet. As can be seen from fig. 3, when the air conditioner heats, the warm air flow deviates upward from the 35 ° direction, or when the air conditioner cools, the cold air flow deviates downward from the 35 ° direction (not shown in the figure), thereby causing the phenomena of direct blowing of cold air and upward movement of warm air, unstable air outlet of the air conditioner, and poor user experience. As can be seen from fig. 4, the air flow blown out during the air outlet of the air conditioner provided with the air guide assembly of the invention obviously can flow stably along the set 35 ° direction in a vast majority, the flowing state is stable, the corresponding air blowing position accords with the user expectation, and the air outlet effect is greatly improved.
In a preferred embodiment, the casing 1 of the air conditioner of the present invention is provided with a plurality of air outlets 11 and a plurality of air guiding assemblies, and each air outlet 11 is provided with one air guiding assembly. The air deflector 2 of the air guide assembly arranged at each air outlet can be independently regulated and controlled, so that the air conditioner can supply air in a multi-azimuth and multi-angle mode.
In summary, the air conditioner of the present invention includes an air guiding assembly including an air guiding plate 2 rotatably connected to a casing 1, and an air guiding protrusion 3 and an air guiding track 4 disposed in the casing 1. In the case that the air guide plate is opened, the air guide protrusion 3 can guide a part of the air flow in the housing 1 to the vicinity of the leeward opening portion 112, and the air guide rail 4 can guide the part of the air flow to flow along the leeward side of the air guide plate 2, so that the flow stability of the air flow on the leeward side of the air guide plate 2 can be ensured while the air flow on the leeward side is increased. The integral air outlet effect of the air conditioner is improved, condensation of the air deflector 2 due to temperature difference between the windward side and the leeward side is avoided, and the user experience is excellent.
