An air conditioner 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention is described below with reference to fig. 1 to 11.

The air conditioner 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention may include: a casing 1 and an air duct member 3.

As shown in fig. 1 and 2, the air conditioner according to the embodiment of the present invention may be a cabinet type air conditioner. Because traditional single through-flow cabinet-type air conditioner only has an air-out direction, air conditioner exhaust wind can directly blow to indoor part personnel, lead to the travelling comfort of air conditioner relatively poor, among the prior art, usually select to set up the air-out direction of vertical wind guide strip in order to adjust the air conditioner in that the air outlet is inside, because vertical wind guide strip sets up inside the air outlet, lead to the wind guide range undersize about vertical wind guide strip, there is the air supply blind area, and because vertical wind guide strip is great to the resistance of wind, lead to the amount of wind loss of air conditioner great, influence the performance of air conditioner, make the unable better regulation room temperature of air conditioner.

Therefore, the air conditioner 100 in which the outlet of the air duct 4 can swing at the air outlet 2 is designed in the embodiment of the present invention, and therefore, the purpose of guiding air at the air outlet 2 can be achieved by driving the structure at the outlet of the air duct 4 to swing at the air outlet 2, and because the air conditioner 100 realizes the air guiding effect by changing the direction of the outlet of the air duct 4, the air resistance at the air outlet 2 is prevented from being affected by the arrangement of the air guiding structure at the air outlet 2, so that the air volume loss of the air conditioner 100 is small, the performance of the air conditioner 100 is better, and the air conditioner 100 can better adjust the indoor temperature.

As shown in fig. 3, the cabinet 1 of the air conditioner 100 has an outlet 2, and the air conditioner 100 discharges air to the outside through the outlet 2. The air duct member 3 is disposed in the casing 1 to convey the heat-exchanged air in the air conditioner 100 to the outside of the casing 1, and the air duct member 3 defines the air duct 4, and the air conditioner 100 conveys the heat-exchanged air to the outside through the air duct member 3, that is, the air exhausted from the air conditioner 100 reaches the vicinity of the air outlet 2 through the air duct 4 and is exhausted from the air conditioner 100 through the air outlet 2.

Wherein, air duct component 3 includes fixed part 31, and fixed part 31 sets up the one end of keeping away from air outlet 2 at air duct component 3, and fixed part 31's stable in structure can not take place to warp along with the swing of swing portion 32, has avoided producing great deformation because air duct 4 that the swing of swing portion 32 leads to has avoided air duct 4 to warp the amount of wind that influences air conditioner 100, has improved the stability of the outside volume of carrying wind of air duct 4.

Further, the air duct member 3 further includes a swinging portion 32 swingable with respect to the fixing portion 31, the swinging portion 32 is swingable with respect to the fixing portion 31 and is also relatively swingable with respect to the air outlet 2, the fixing portion 31 and the swinging portion 32 respectively define different portions of the air outlet duct 4 to jointly define the continuous air duct 4, the swinging portion 32 is provided at the air outlet 2 to change the direction of the outlet air of the air conditioner 100 at the air outlet 2, and an outlet of the air duct 4 is formed on the swinging portion 32.

That is to say, while swing portion 32 is wobbling, the export of wind channel 4 that forms on swing portion 32 also can swing along with swing portion 32's swing, the direction of the export of wind channel 4 is the air-out direction of air conditioner 100 promptly, therefore, through swing portion 32, the effect to the not equidirectional air-out can be realized, because air conditioner 100 realizes the effect of wind-guiding through the direction that changes the export of wind channel 4, avoided setting up wind-guiding structure in air outlet 2 department and influenced the windage of air outlet 2 department, make the amount of wind loss of air conditioner 100 less, the performance of air conditioner 100 is better, thereby make the indoor temperature of conditioning that air conditioner 100 can be better.

According to the air conditioner 100 of the embodiment of the invention, the air conditioner 100 has a better air guiding effect, the air resistance at the air outlet 2 is smaller, the air outlet volume is larger, the performance is better, and the effect of adjusting the indoor temperature is better.

As shown in fig. 3 to 7, the outlet of the air duct 4 includes a plurality of air outlets 3211, so that the air flow after heat exchange can be discharged through the plurality of air outlets 3211, and the air flow after heat exchange in the air duct 4 can be differentiated into a plurality of fine air flows at the outlet of the air duct 4, thereby slowing down the flow rate of the air flow and enabling the air conditioner 100 to have a more comfortable air outlet effect.

Further, the swing portion 32 includes the air outlet grille 321, and the air outlet grille 321 is arranged on the swing portion 32, and because the swing portion 32 is located at the tail end of the air duct 4, the air outlet grille 321 is arranged on the swing portion 32, so that the flow velocity of the air flow can be slowed down, the comfort level of the air outlet of the air conditioner 100 is improved, and meanwhile, the influence of the air outlet grille 321 on the air volume is avoided.

The fixing portion 31, the connecting portion 33, and the swinging portion 32 are sequentially connected along the extending direction of the air duct 4, and the air flow after heat exchange in the air conditioner 100 is discharged through the air outlet 3211 on the air outlet grille 321 after sequentially passing through the air duct 4 defined by the fixing portion 31, the air duct 4 defined by the connecting portion 33, and the air duct 4 defined by the swinging enclosing plate 322 on the swinging portion 32.

Further, the air conditioner 100 further includes a driving device 6 for driving the air duct member 3 to swing to change the wind direction. The driving device 6 is connected with the swinging portion 32 to drive the air duct component 3 to swing by driving the swinging portion 32 to swing, so as to achieve the purpose of changing the wind direction.

The drive device 6 includes: a drive motor 61, a rack and pinion mechanism, and a housing 63, the housing 63 including an upper case 631 and a lower case 632. The driving motor 61 is arranged outside the housing 63, the motor shaft penetrates into the housing 63, and is fixedly connected with a gear 622 arranged in the housing 63, and one side of the gear 622 extends out of the housing 63 and is meshed with a rack 621 arranged on the swinging portion 32. When the air outlet direction of the air conditioner 100 is changed, the driving motor 61 is started, the driving motor 61 is suitable for driving the gear 622 fixedly connected with the motor shaft to rotate, the gear 622 is meshed with the rack 621, and the gear 622 can drive the swing part 32 fixedly connected with the rack 621 to swing through the rack 621, so that the air outlet direction of the air conditioner 100 is changed.
