Figure 1 andFigure 3 , theair deflector 1 has a plurality of throughholes 11 penetrating the air deflector in a thickness direction of the air deflector, and aboundary 12 extending in a length direction thereof (a left-right direction as shown inFigure 1 ); when theair deflector 1 closes theair outlet 2 ofair conditioner 1000, the centerline of the throughholes 11 above the boundary 12 (as shown inFigure 3 ) extends upwards at certain angle, while the centerline of the throughholes 11 below the boundary 12 (as shown inFigure 3 ) extends downwards at certain angle in the direction from the inside (the side ofair deflector 1 toward the inside of the air conditioner 1000) to the outside (the side ofair deflector 1 toward the indoor space). - It should be noted that, as shown in
Figure 1 ,Figure 3 andFigure 5 ,air conditioner 1000 may be set to breeze mode and breezeless mode. When the breezeless mode is activated by the user, theair deflector 1 may be turned to the position on which theair outlet 2 ofair conditioner 1000 is closed, so that the air will flow through the throughholes 11 on theair deflector 1 for theair conditioner 1000 first before entering the indoor space; when the air flows through the throughholes 11 above theboundary 12 of theair deflector 1, it will flow upwards from the horizontal direction under the guidance of the throughholes 11; when the air flows through the throughholes 11 below theboundary 12 of theair deflector 1, it will flow downwards from the horizontal direction under the guidance of the throughholes 11, so that the air from theair outlet 2 of theair conditioner 1000 is dispersed further, therefore preventing a large amount of air being blown directly to the user, and improving the breezeless experience of the users. - The
air deflector 1 for theair conditioner 1000 according to the embodiment of the present disclosure is provided with the plurality of throughholes 11 through the thickness of itsair deflector 1, therefore the centerline of the throughholes 11 above theboundary 12 extends upwards at certain angle while the centerline of the throughholes 11 below theboundary 12 extends downwards at certain angle in the direction from the inside to the outside of theair deflector 1, so that a portion of the air flow moves upwards from the horizontal direction, while another portion moves downwards from the horizontal direction under the guidance of the throughholes 11 on theair deflector 1 when the breezeless mode is activated by the user, thus preventing a large amount of air being blown directly toward the users, which improves the breezeless experience of the users, and makes them more comfortable. - According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, and as shown in
Figure 2 andFigure 3 , the distance between the upper edge and the lower edge of the air deflector is L1, and the distance between the boundary and the upper edge of the air deflector is L2, wherein L1 and L2 satisfy: 2/5≤L2/L1≤2/3. Thus, the quantity of throughholes 11 above theboundary 12 is different from that of throughholes 11 below theboundary 12, for the convenience of controlling and defining the air flowing upwards from theair deflector 1 and the air flowing downwards from theair deflector 1. - According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, and as shown in
Figure 2 andFigure 3 , the distance between the upper edge and the lower edge of theair deflector 1 is L1, and the distance between theboundary 12 and the upper edge of theair deflector 1 is L2, wherein L1 and L2 satisfy: 3/5≤L2/L1≤2/3. Thus, the quantity of throughholes 11 above theboundary 12 is different from that of throughholes 11 below theboundary 12, for the convenience of controlling and defining the air flowing upwards from theair deflector 1 and the air flowing downwards from theair deflector 1. - It should be noted that the L1 between the upper edge and the lower edge of the
air deflector 1 is the vertical distance between the upper edge and the lower edge of theair deflector 1, while the distance L2 between theboundary 12 and the upper edge of theair deflector 1 is the vertical distance between theboundary 12 and the upper edge of theair deflector 1 in case theair deflector 1 is of planar construction; the distance L1 between the upper edge and the lower edge of theair deflector 1 is the distance between the upper edge and the lower edge of theair deflector 1 when theair deflector 1 is unfolded fully to horizontal state, while the distance L2 between theboundary 12 and the upper edge of theair deflector 1 is the distance between theboundary 12 and the upper edge of theair deflector 1 when theair deflector 1 is unfolded fully to horizontal state in case theair deflector 1 is of curved surface construction. - According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, and as shown in
Figure 1 ,Figure 3 andFigure 5 , the angle between the centerline of the throughholes 11 above theboundary 12 and the horizontal plane is α, wherein α satisfy: 0<α≤15°. Thus, after passing through the throughholes 11 above theboundary 12, the air can flow upwards from the horizontal direction, thus preventing the air being blown directly toward the user, and offering the users breezeless comfort. In addition, it can prevent the air forming the circular flow close to the wall after flowing upwards from theair deflector 1, affecting the breezeless experience. - It should be noted that the angle α between the centerline of the through
holes 11 above theboundary 12 and the horizontal plane is the angle when theair deflector 1 closes theair outlet 2 of theair conditioner 1000. - According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, α satisfies: 0<α≤10°. Thus, it can prevent further the air being blown directly toward the user, so that the users can feel breezeless comfort. In addition, it can prevent the air forming the circular flow close to the wall after flowing upwards from the
air deflector 1, affecting the breezeless experience. - According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, α satisfies: 3°≤α≤5°. Thus, it can prevent further the air being blown directly toward the user, so that the users can feel breezeless comfort. In addition, it can prevent the air forming the circular flow close to the wall after flowing upwards from the
air deflector 1, affecting the breezeless experience. - According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, and as shown in
Figure 1 ,Figure 3 andFigure 5 , the angle between the centerline of the throughholes 11 below theboundary 12 and the horizontal plane is β, wherein β satisfies: 0<β≤45°. Thus, after passing through the throughholes 11 below the boundary, the air can flow downwards from the horizontal direction, which prevents the air being blown directly toward the user, and thereby increases the breezeless experience of the user. - It should be noted that the angle β between the centerline of the through
holes 11 below theboundary 12 and the horizontal plane is the angle when theair deflector 1 closes theair outlet 2 of theair conditioner 1000. - According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, β satisfies: 0<β≤20°. Thus, after passing through the through
holes 11 below theboundary 12, the air can flow further downwards from the horizontal direction, which prevents the air being blown directly toward the user, and thereby increases the breezeless experience of the users further. - According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, and as shown in
Figure 1 andFigure 4 , the diameter of the throughholes 11 is D, wherein D satisfies: 1mm≤D≤3mm. Thus, the throughholes 11 can realize deflection and guidance of the air flow, which reduces the energy loss of the air flow in the guide process, lowers the energy consumption of theair conditioner 1000 in breezeless mode and improves the breezeless effect of theair conditioner 1000. - According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, D satisfies: 1.3mm≤D≤2.5mm. Thus, the through
holes 11 can realize deflection and guidance of the air flow, which reduces the energy loss of the air flow in the guide process, lowers the energy consumption of theair conditioner 1000 in breezeless mode and improves the breezeless effect of theair conditioner 1000. - According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, the diameters of the plurality of through
holes 11 are the same, which thereby simplifies the manufacturing procedure of the throughholes 11, shortens the production cycle of theair deflector 1, lowers the production costs of theair conditioner 1000 and enhances the aesthetics of theair conditioner 1000. - According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, and as shown in
Figure 1 ,Figure 3 andFigure 4 , the diameters of the throughholes 11 above theboundary 12 increases gradually, while the diameters of the throughholes 11 below theboundary 12 decreases gradually in the direction from top to bottom (as shown inFigure 3 ). Therefore, in the direction from top to bottom, the air flow through the throughholes 11 will increase gradually when it passes through the throughholes 11 above theboundary 12, and will decrease gradually when it passes through the throughholes 11 below theboundary 12, which thereby reduces the energy loss of air flow when passing through the throughholes 11, lowers the energy consumption of theair conditioner 1000 and enhances the aesthetics of theair conditioner 1000. Meanwhile, it can prevent the air forming circular flow close to the wall after flowing upwards from theair deflector 1, affecting the breezeless experience of the user. - The following describes the
housing assembly 100 as specified in the embodiment of the present disclosure with reference to theFigures 1-5 . - As shown in
Figure 1 andFigure 3 , thehousing assembly 100 as specified in the embodiment of the present disclosure comprises theair deflector 1. - The
housing assembly 100 for theair conditioner 1000 according to the embodiment of the present disclosure is provided with the plurality of throughholes 11 through the thickness of itsair deflector 1, therefore the centerline of the throughholes 11 above theboundary 12 extends upwards at certain angle while the centerline of the throughholes 11 below theboundary 12 extends downwards at certain angle in the direction from the inside to the outside of theair deflector 1, so that a portion of the air flow moves upwards from the horizontal direction, while another portion moves downwards from the horizontal direction under the guidance of the throughholes 11 on theair deflector 1 when the breezeless mode is activated by the user, thus preventing a large amount of air being blown directly toward the users, which improves the breezeless experience of the users, and makes them more comfortable. - The following describes the
air conditioner 1000 as specified in the embodiment of the present disclosure with reference to theFigures 1-5 . - As shown in

air conditioner 1000 according to the embodiment of the present disclosure is provided with the plurality of throughholes 11 through the thickness of itsair deflector 1, therefore the centerline of the throughholes 11 above theboundary 12 extends upwards at certain angle while the centerline of the throughholes 11 below theboundary 12 extends downwards at certain angle in the direction from the inside to the outside of theair deflector 1, so that a portion of the air flow moves upwards from the horizontal direction, while another portion moves downwards from the horizontal direction under the guidance of the throughholes 11 on theair deflector 1 when the breezeless mode is activated by the user, thus preventing a large amount of air being blown directly toward the users, which improves the breezeless experience of the users, and makes them more comfortable. - The following describes the
air conditioner 1000 as specified in the specific embodiment of the present disclosure with reference to theFigures 1-5 . It should be understood that the following description is only illustrative and is used to interpret the present disclosure but should not be construed as restrictions on the present disclosure. - As shown in
