As shown in connection with fig. 1-4, embodiments of the present disclosure provide an air outlet panel that includes a panel housing 100 and a baffle 120. Wherein, the front side plate 104 of the panel shell 100 is provided with a front air outlet 110, the lower side plate is provided with a lower air outlet 111, and the rear side plate 105 is provided with a connecting inlet 115; the baffle 120 is disposed in the panel housing 100, and a first side of the baffle 120 is located between the front air outlet 110 and the lower air outlet 111, and a second side thereof can be turned around the first side; and the barrier 120 has a first inversion position obliquely located between the front air outlet 110 and the connection inlet 115 corresponding to the barrier 120, and air entering the panel housing 100 from the connection inlet 115 is blown toward the lower air outlet 111 under the guide of the barrier 120.

In the present embodiment, air enters the panel housing 100 through the connection inlet 115, and the air can be blown out from the front air outlet 110 and the lower air outlet 111. And when the shutter 120 is flipped to the first flipped position, the air passage connecting between the inlet 115 and the front air outlet 110 is blocked, thereby guiding the air to be blown out only from the lower air outlet 111. In this way, compared with the case that the lower air outlet is realized by closing the air deflector at the front air outlet 110, the air flow path in the lower air outlet is effectively shortened, and the air leakage from the gaps of the air deflector at the front air outlet 110 is avoided.

Alternatively, as shown in fig. 1, a first side of the baffle 120 is provided with an air guiding cambered surface 121, and an outer cambered surface of the air guiding cambered surface 121 faces the front air outlet 110.

In this embodiment, the front plate of the baffle 120 faces the front air outlet 110, and the rear plate of the baffle 120 faces the connection inlet 115. The bulge of the outer cambered surface of the air guide cambered surface 121 is positioned on the front plate surface of the baffle plate 120, and the recess of the inner cambered surface of the air guide cambered surface 121 is positioned on the rear plate surface of the baffle plate 120. As the air flows along the front face of the baffle 120, the air flow is directed to flow toward the top of the protrusions as it passes over the extrados.

Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 3, the baffle 120, when in the first flipped position, completely blocks the air path between the connection inlet 115 and the front air outlet 110. This effectively prevents the air leakage from the gaps of the air deflector of the front air outlet 110.

Alternatively, as shown in fig. 4, the baffle 120 has a second flipped position, which corresponds to the baffle 120 being horizontal and blocking the lower air outlet 111.

In the present embodiment, when the shutter 120 is turned to the second turning position, the air passage connecting between the inlet 115 and the lower air outlet 111 is blocked, so that air is guided to be blown out only from the front air outlet 110, realizing front air outlet.

Alternatively, as shown in fig. 2, two ends of the first side of the baffle 120 are provided with turning shafts 122, and the turning shafts 122 drive the baffle 120 to turn when rotating. The driving shaft of the baffle motor is connected to the turning shaft 122, and the turning shaft 122 is driven to rotate by the baffle motor. The driving shaft of the baffle motor is connected to the turning shaft 122, and the turning shaft 122 is driven to rotate by the baffle motor.

Illustratively, when the shutter motor rotates forward, the driving shaft drives the turning shaft 122 to rotate, and the turning shaft 122 drives the shutter 120 to turn from the second position to the first position. When the baffle motor is reversed, the driving shaft drives the turning shaft 122 to rotate, and the turning shaft 122 drives the baffle 120 to turn from the first position to the second position.

In this way, the air outlet of the air conditioner is not directly blown by the baffle 120.

Illustratively, as shown in fig. 3, when the air conditioner is operating in the heating mode, the shutter 120 is flipped to the first flipped position. Thus, air enters the air conditioning case 200 from the indoor return air inlet 201 and exchanges heat with the indoor heat exchanger, and the heat exchanged air is blown into the panel case 100 from the indoor air outlet 202. The air guide 130 at the lower air outlet 111 is opened, the air guide 130 at the front air outlet 110 is closed, and then the front air outlet 110 is not leaked out and hot air is intensively blown out from the lower air outlet 111 under the action of the baffle 120.
