The driving wheel 512 and the driven wheel 513 can be rotatably connected with the dust-proof box 515 through a rotating shaft, and the motor 511 is also fixed on the dust-proof box 515.

The installation of the dust box 515 causes interference when the driving belt 514 drives the air guide 520, and therefore the dust box 515 is provided with the through groove 516. The through grooves 516 are disposed along the vertical direction of the air-out frame 400, and the air guide 520 is connected to the driving belt 514 through the through grooves 516. The through slots 516 provide a guiding function, thereby ensuring the stability of the driving belt 514 when driving the wind guide 520.

The through-groove 516 is further provided with an upper limit (not shown) and a lower limit (not shown), and the positional accuracy of the air guide 520 in the first state and the second state can be further improved.

As another example, the driving mechanism 510 may be provided with one or three or more. When one driving mechanism 510 is provided, the driving mechanism 510 may be located in the middle of the air-out frame 400 along the left-right direction, and the middle of the air guide 520 is connected with the driving mechanism 510; alternatively, the air guide member 520 may be divided into two air guide members 520, and the two air guide members 520 may be connected to the driving mechanism 510. When there are three driving mechanisms 510, one of the driving mechanisms 510 may be disposed in the middle of the air outlet frame 400 along the left-right direction, the specific structure is substantially the same as that of the previous embodiment, and the previous embodiment may be appropriately referred to for understanding, and therefore, for avoiding repeated descriptions, descriptions are not repeated here.

It can be understood that the wind guide member 520 is provided with a first wind guide surface 523 and a second wind guide surface 524 which form a certain included angle with each other, the first wind guide surface 523 is horizontally arranged or inclined downwards by a certain angle relative to a horizontal plane, and the second wind guide surface 524 is inclined downwards relative to the first wind guide surface 523. The first air guiding surface 523 and the second air guiding surface 524 are windward surfaces, that is, air flows blown out from the air outlet 120, so that the air flows are guided, and the air outlet direction of the air conditioner is controlled.

It can be understood that the operation mode of the air conditioner may be obtained by receiving a user instruction, or by receiving an instruction sent by starting a new operation mode after the program initially set by the air conditioner is finished, or by sending an instruction to the detection element by the air conditioner and obtaining data by receiving the data of the detection element, or by other obtaining methods. For example, a user may send a control instruction in a manner of an air conditioner remote controller or a mobile phone APP, so that the air conditioner obtains an operation mode to be executed. The operation mode of the air conditioner may include, but is not limited to, a heating mode, a cooling mode, a blow-through prevention mode, and the like.

S1002: the state of the wind guide 520 is controlled according to the operation mode.

In the air conditioner of the embodiment of the present invention, the air guide 520 has the first state, when the air guide 520 is in the first state, the air guide 520 is located at the lower end of the air outlet frame 400, the first area 410 is formed between the first air guide surface 523 and the partial structure of the air outlet frame 400, and the air conditioner is in a horizontal air outlet state when air is exhausted from the first area 410.

It can be understood that the air guide 520 also has a second state, when the air guide 520 is in the second state, the air guide 520 is located at the upper end of the air-out frame 400, a second area 420 is formed between the second air guide surface 524 and the air-out frame 400, the air conditioner blows air from the second area 420, and at this time, the air conditioner is in a state of blowing air obliquely downwards.

It can be understood that the air guide 520 further has a third state, when the air guide 520 is in the third state, the air guide 520 is located in the middle of the air-out frame 400, that is, any position between the upper end of the air-out frame 400 and the lower end of the air-out frame 400, a first area 410 is formed between the first air guide surface 523 and the partial structure of the air-out frame 400, a second area 420 is formed between the second air guide surface 524 and the air-out frame 400, the air conditioner simultaneously blows air from the first area 410 and the second area 420, and at this time, the air conditioner is in a state where horizontal air blowing and inclined downward air blowing are simultaneously performed. It should be noted that, when the air guide 520 is in the third state, the air outlet volume of the first area 410 and the air outlet volume of the second area 420 may be equal by changing the position of the air guide 520 on the air outlet frame 400, or the air outlet volume of the first area 410 is greater than the air outlet volume of the second area 420, or the air outlet volume of the second area 420 is greater than the air outlet volume of the first area 410, which specifically needs to be controlled and selected according to the actual operating condition, and is not limited herein.

After the operation mode of the air conditioner is obtained, the air guide member 520 is controlled to move to the corresponding state according to the operation mode, for example, the air guide member 520 is controlled to move to the first state, the second state or the third state, so that the air conditioner can be controlled to achieve horizontal air outlet from the first area 410, or inclined downward air outlet from the second area 420, or horizontal air outlet from the first area 410 and inclined downward air outlet from the second area 420. For example, when the operation mode of the air conditioner is the heating mode, the air guide 520 is controlled to be in the second state, and at this time, the air conditioner blows air out from the second area 420 formed by the second air guide surface 524 and the air outlet frame 400, and the hot air blows out obliquely downward.

It can be understood that, after the operation mode of the air conditioner is obtained, if the air conditioner detects that the state of the air guide 520 is the same as the state of the movement of the air guide 520 that the air conditioner needs to control, the air guide 520 does not need to move, and only the current state needs to be maintained.

In the air conditioner of the embodiment of the present invention, by providing the air guide assembly 500, the air guide assembly 500 includes the air guide 520 capable of moving in the vertical direction of the air outlet frame 400, the air guide 520 is provided with the first air guide surface 523 and the second air guide surface 524 inclined downward with respect to the first air guide surface 523, and when the air guide 520 moves, the air flow at the air outlet 120 can be guided, thereby realizing the control of the air outlet direction.

For example, when the air conditioner is in the heating mode, the air can be discharged from the second area 420, so that the air is discharged obliquely downwards, hot air of the air conditioner can be blown downwards in the heating mode, the hot air can be blown to the bottom surface and then diffused upwards, the temperatures of the upper part and the lower part of the indoor space are more uniform, the heating efficiency is improved, and the comfort of a user is improved.

Referring to fig. 11, which is a control flowchart of a control method of an air conditioner according to another embodiment of the present invention, step S1002 specifically includes, but is not limited to, the following steps:

s1101: when the operation mode is the cooling mode, the air guide 520 is controlled to be in the first state.

It can be understood that, when the operation mode of the air conditioner is the cooling mode, the air conditioner may enter the cooling mode after being turned on, or enter the cooling mode after receiving an instruction of the cooling mode. The air guide member 520 is controlled to move to the first state, a first area 410 is formed between the first air guide surface 523 and a partial structure of the air outlet frame 400, and the air conditioner exhausts air from the first area 410, so that the air conditioner realizes a horizontal air outlet state. The air conditioner has the advantages that the air outlet range of the air conditioner for blowing out cold air horizontally is wide, the air outlet quantity is large, the air supply distance of the cold air can be increased, the temperature of the indoor environment is stably reduced due to the reduction of the cold air, the refrigeration efficiency is improved, a user can be prevented from directly blowing the cold air, and the user experience is improved.

It is to be understood that when wind guide 520 is already in the first state, it is only necessary to control wind guide 520 to remain at the current position.

Referring to fig. 12, which is a control flowchart of a control method of an air conditioner according to another embodiment of the present invention, after step S1101, the control method of an air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present invention further includes, but is not limited to, the following steps:

s1201: and when the operation mode is the direct blowing prevention mode in the refrigeration mode, acquiring the position of the user.

It can be understood that after the air conditioner enters the direct blowing prevention mode, the air outlet direction of the air conditioner can be adjusted to be not directly blown to the user, so that discomfort of the user caused by direct blowing of the air conditioner is reduced, and discomfort symptoms such as air conditioning diseases and the like of the user caused by direct blowing of the air conditioner can be well prevented. The anti-blowthrough mode may be activated in a cooling mode, a heating mode, or the like. It should be noted that, the air conditioner considers that the user has a demand for direct blowing, so the start of the direct blowing prevention mode generally requires the user to start, and the user can control the mode through a button on the air conditioner remote controller or on the mobile phone APP. Of course, for special-purpose air conditioners such as child air conditioners, the blow-through prevention mode may be set to be automatically activated, for example, when the air conditioner enters the cooling mode, the blow-through prevention mode may be automatically activated.

It is understood that when the air conditioner enters the blow-through prevention mode in the cooling mode, the air conditioner acquires the user position. The air conditioner of the embodiment of the invention can be provided with the human body recognition detector, the human body recognition detector detects the position information of the user relative to the air conditioner, such as the distance, the direction and the like, and the user position can also comprise the information of one user or the information of a plurality of users. For example, the human body recognition detector may be an infrared sensor or a camera, and detect the position of the user through thermal imaging or human body recognition, so as to detect the distance between the air outlet 120 of the air conditioner and the user. It should be noted that the human body recognition detector can also realize rotation or be mounted on a bracket with a rotation function, so that the detection precision and range are increased.

S1202: the state of the air guide 520 is controlled according to the user position.

It is understood that the air conditioner controls the current state of the wind guide 520 according to the detected user location information. If the user is detected to be within the range of the air conditioner capable of direct blowing, the air guide 520 needs to be controlled to move to a non-direct blowing state, so that discomfort caused by direct blowing to the user is avoided; if it is detected that the user is out of the range where the air conditioner can blow directly, the air guide 520 needs to be controlled to move to a state where cooling can be accelerated, thereby improving cooling efficiency.

Referring to fig. 13, which is a control flowchart of a control method of an air conditioner according to another embodiment of the present invention, step S1202 specifically includes, but is not limited to, the following steps:

s1301: when the user position is in the air outlet area of the air outlet 120, the air guide 520 is controlled to be in the first state.

It is understood that the air outlet area of the air outlet 120 is an area at a certain distance from the air outlet 120, and the air outlet area may be a preset value, that is, a parameter value that has been set when the air conditioner is shipped from a factory, for example, the air outlet area is an area within 1203 meters of the air outlet, or an area within 1204 meters of the air outlet, and the like. The setting of the air outlet area is related to the performance of the detection element, or related to the installation mode of the air conditioner and the detection element, or related to the maximum air outlet distance of the air conditioner. The air outlet area may also be a parameter value adjusted according to an actual use condition or a user habit, for example, the parameter value is calculated by obtaining a part of parameters or environmental parameters of the air conditioner, and a specific manner is not specifically limited herein. The air conditioner provided by the embodiment of the invention is provided with the human body identification detector, the air conditioner detects the distance between the air outlet 120 and the user through the human body identification detector, and if the distance between the user and the air outlet 120 is greater than the air outlet distance, the position of the user is outside the air outlet area of the air outlet 120; if the distance between the user and the air outlet 120 is smaller than the preset distance, the user is located in the air outlet area of the air outlet 120.

For example, the air-out distance is set to 4 meters. If no user exists within 1204 m of the air outlet, the user position is considered to be outside the air outlet area of the air outlet 120. It can be understood that, in the above case, the air blown out from the air outlet 120 does not have obvious discomfort to the user outside the air outlet area, that is, the air outlet of the air conditioner does not blow directly to the user. If the user exists within 1204 m of the air outlet, the user position is considered to be within the air outlet area of the air outlet 120. It can be understood that, in the above case, the wind blown out from the outlet 120 affects the user's body feeling, that is, the wind from the air conditioner is directly blown to the user.

It can be understood that, when the user position is in the air-out region of air outlet 120, then think that the cold wind of air conditioner can blow directly to the user, consequently control air guide 520 and move to first state, make the air conditioner can the level blow off by cold wind under the refrigeration mode, can increase the air supply distance of cold wind, and because the density of cold air is great, make can sink to the lower part and realize the steady regulation of whole indoor space's temperature from the upper portion of indoor space, make cold wind can not directly blow to the user, user's travelling comfort has been promoted.

For example, the air-out distance is set to 4 meters. If no user exists within 1204 m of the air outlet, the user position is considered to be outside the air outlet area of the air outlet 120. It can be understood that, in the above case, the air blown out from the air outlet 120 does not have obvious discomfort to the user outside the air outlet area, that is, the air outlet of the air conditioner does not blow directly to the user.

It can be understood that, when the user position is outside the air outlet area of the air outlet 120, it is considered that the cold air of the air conditioner does not blow directly to the user, and therefore the air guide member 520 is controlled to move to the second state, that is, the air guide member 520 blows air obliquely downwards, so that the air conditioner blows the cold air to the ground in the cooling mode, the cold air is accumulated at the lower part of the indoor space, and further the lower part of the indoor space can reach the set temperature more rapidly, so that the user feels cooler after entering the indoor space, and the user experience is improved.

S1502: and acquiring the indoor environment temperature.

It is understood that the indoor ambient temperature may be detected by a temperature sensor, and the air conditioner acquires data of the temperature sensor, thereby acquiring the indoor ambient temperature. It should be noted that the indoor ambient temperature can be detected by a temperature sensor arranged at the air inlet 110 of the air conditioner, and can be obtained by converting the air inlet temperature of the air conditioner; the indoor environment temperature can also be detected by a temperature sensor arranged in the indoor environment. The temperature sensor may be transmitted to the controller by a wired transmission manner, or may be transmitted to the controller by an invalid transmission manner, such as WIFI or bluetooth, and the specific manner is not limited in this embodiment.

It is understood that step S1501 and step S1502 may be executed simultaneously or sequentially, and the order of executing the above two steps is not limited in detail.

It can be understood that, when the temperature difference between the indoor environment temperature and the set temperature is less than or equal to the preset temperature, it can be considered that the indoor environment temperature has reached the user set requirement, and at this time, the air conditioner can enter the heat preservation operation. It should be noted that the preset temperature setting value may be a parameter value determined when the air conditioner leaves a factory, for example, 0, 1 degree, 2 degrees, and the like; or a parameter value adjusted according to the actual use condition, for example, the parameter value is calculated by acquiring a part of parameters of the air conditioner or environmental parameters, and the specific manner is not specifically limited herein.

It can be understood that, when the air conditioner gets into the operation that keeps warm, control air guide 520 reciprocating motion between first state and second state, air guide 520 moves along the up-and-down direction promptly to make the air conditioner from horizontal air-out, horizontal air-out and slope air-out downwards simultaneously under the refrigeration mode and slope switch over reciprocally between the air-out downwards, realize the omnidirectional heat preservation to indoor environment, make the temperature of indoor space more even, make indoor environment temperature keep in the settlement temperature.

S1504: when the temperature difference between the indoor environment temperature and the set temperature is greater than the preset temperature, the air guide 520 is controlled to keep the current state.

It can be understood that, when the temperature difference between the indoor ambient temperature and the set temperature of the air conditioner in the cooling mode is greater than the preset temperature, it can be considered that the indoor ambient temperature is greater than the set temperature, the cooling effect of the air conditioner cannot meet the user setting requirement, at this time, the air guide 520 is kept in the current state, and the air conditioner continues to operate in the cooling mode. The air conditioner does not enter the heat preservation operation until the indoor environment temperature reaches the requirement set by the user, and the refrigeration effect of the air conditioner is ensured.

The air guide member 520 is controlled to move to the second state, a second area 420 is formed between the second air guide surface 524 and the partial structure of the air outlet frame 400, and the air conditioner exhausts air from the second area 420, so that the air conditioner realizes a state of exhausting air obliquely downwards. The air conditioner blows hot air obliquely downwards to enable the hot air to be blown to the ground in a concentrated mode and spread along the ground, the temperature of the indoor space rises rapidly due to the fact that the hot air rises, the temperature in the indoor space is enabled to be more uniform, and heating efficiency can be improved. In addition, the air conditioner blows hot air to the user by obliquely blowing the air downwards, and the comfort level of the user is improved.

It is to be understood that when wind guide 520 is already in the second state, it is only necessary to control wind guide 520 to remain in the current position.
