The first air injection part 128 and the second air injection part 129 may be respectively formed by respective annular inner walls and annular outer walls, and the annular outer walls of the first air injection part 128 and the annular inner walls together define a first air supply cavity 125, edges of the annular outer walls of the first air injection part 128 connected with the annular inner walls form a first air injection port 124, and a first air inlet 1281 communicated with the first air supply assembly is opened at the end of the first air injection part 128 on one side of the second air injection part 129, so that the first heat exchange air flow is introduced into the first air supply cavity 125.
The second air injection part 129 is identical to the first air injection part 128 in structure and symmetrically arranged, so that the annular outer wall and the annular inner wall of the second air injection part 129 jointly define a second air supply cavity (not marked in the figure), the edge of the annular outer wall and the annular inner wall of the second air injection part 129, which is connected, forms a second air injection port (not marked in the figure), and a second air inlet 1291 communicated with the second air supply assembly is formed at the end part of the second air injection part 129, which is far away from the first air injection part 128, so that the second heat exchange air flow is introduced into the second air supply cavity.

The rear edge 126 of the annular inner wall 121 recessed toward the inside of the first air supply chamber 125 may also have an air flow direction guiding effect, so that the air flow in the first air supply chamber 125 is smoothly sent out from the first air jet 124.
The annular inner wall 121 extends forwardly from its rear side edge 126 to form a continuous outwardly expanding coanda surface; and the section of the part of the annular outer wall 122 located at the rear side of the air injection assembly 120 is spiral, so that after the air flow of the first air supply cavity 125 is ejected from the first air injection port 124 along the annular outer wall 122, the air flow is sent forward along the first coanda surface formed by the annular inner wall 121, and the air flow drives the ambient air behind the air supply port 117 to be pumped out. The expansion inclination angle of the annular inner wall 121 extending forward and continuously expanding outwards may be 5 to 15 degrees, and the larger the inclination angle is, the faster the expansion speed of the air flow ejected from the first air jet 124 is, through a great number of tests, the expansion inclination angle of the annular inner wall 121 may be set between 6 and 10 degrees, so that the mixing with the ambient air in the first air suction hole 1282 is more facilitated.

The first gas jets 124 may be a continuous annular groove, and in some alternative embodiments, the first gas jets 124 may be formed on a portion of the sections of the annular inner wall 121 and the annular outer wall 122, or in spaced apart segments. For example, the first air jets 124 may be provided only on the horizontal section so that the air jets are more uniform and may effectively entrain ambient air within the first air extraction holes 1282. In order to increase the jet velocity of the first air jet 124, the width of the first air jet 124 may be set to 1 to 3mm, and through a great number of tests, the width of the first air jet 124 may be preferably set to about 2mm, and the first air jet 124 with the size width not only ensures the jet velocity of the heat exchange air flow, but also can reduce the windage loss of the heat exchange air flow as much as possible and reduce noise.

The annular inner wall of the second jet portion 129 extends forwardly from its rear side edge to form a continuous outwardly expanding second coanda surface; and the section of the part of the annular outer wall of the second air injection part 129 located at the rear side of the air injection assembly 120 is spiral, so that the air flow of the second air supply cavity is sent out forward along the second coanda surface after being ejected from the second air injection port along the annular outer wall of the second air injection part 129, and drives the ambient air in the second air suction hole 1292 to be drawn out. A lateral end of the annular outer wall of the second air injection portion 129 (the end remote from the first air injection portion 128) is provided with a second air inlet 1291 for providing air flow to the second air supply chamber after heat exchange by the heat exchanger 140.

The wall-mounted air conditioner indoor unit 100 includes a partition 143 inside, and the partition 143 is used to isolate the air flow before and after heat exchange. The partition 143 serves to isolate the air flow before and after heat exchange. The partition 143 includes a longitudinal plate portion 1431 disposed parallel to the front panel 114, and a middle portion of the longitudinal plate portion 1431 is recessed rearward to define a first heat exchanger accommodating chamber with the front panel 114 for disposing the first heat exchange section 1401 therebetween. The first heat exchange section 1401 is disposed within the first heat exchanger receiving chamber.
The longitudinal plate portion 1431 is recessed rearward at its center to define a first heat exchanger accommodating chamber for disposing the heat exchanger 140 with the front panel 114, and the longitudinal plate portion 1431 is formed with a rearward flange 1433 at both sides thereof, and the air intake 116 is opened at a position opposite to the flange 1433, so that the flange 1433 of the longitudinal plate portion 1431 and the side wall of the housing 112 define an air intake passage from the air intake 116 to the first heat exchanger accommodating chamber.

The air inlet 116 is communicated with the first heat exchanger accommodating cavity, and can be formed by one or more through holes, so that a part of external air transversely enters the first heat exchanger accommodating cavity from the side wall and exchanges heat with the first heat exchange section 1401, on one hand, the area of the air inlet 116 is enlarged, and the smoothness of heat exchange air flow is improved; on the other hand, air is supplied to the first heat exchanger accommodating chamber from two sides, so that heat exchange balance of the heat exchanger 140 can be ensured.
The center of the recessed portion of the longitudinal plate portion 1431 is provided with a first through hole 145 through which the first air collecting port 132 of the first centrifugal fan 131 passes and a second through hole 146 through which the second air collecting port 152 of the second centrifugal fan 151 passes. The impeller 133 and the volute 134 of the first centrifugal fan 131 are disposed in the space defined by the longitudinal plate portion 1431 and the casing 112, and the air collecting port 132 of the first centrifugal fan 131 penetrates out from the first through hole 145 to suck air from the first heat exchanger accommodating chamber to form a first heat exchange air flow; the impeller 153 and the scroll 154 of the second centrifugal fan 151 are disposed in a space defined by the longitudinal plate portion 1431 and the casing 112, and the second air collecting port 152 of the second centrifugal fan 151 penetrates out from the second through hole 146 to suck air from the first heat exchanger accommodating chamber to form a first heat exchange air flow.

The exhaust port of the first volute 134 of the first centrifugal fan 131 faces the side wall of the housing 110; the inlet of the first air guide 136 is connected to the outlet of the first volute 134. Similarly, the exhaust port of the second volute 154 of the second centrifugal fan 151 is directed toward the other side wall of the housing 110; the inlet of the second air directing member 156 is connected to the outlet of the second volute 154.
Fig. 7 is a schematic diagram illustrating a structure in which a first air supply unit and a second air supply unit supply air to an air injection unit 120 in a wall-mounted air conditioner indoor unit 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The first air supply assembly includes: first centrifugal fan 131 and first wind-guiding part 136, the second air supply subassembly includes: the second centrifugal fan 151 and the second air guide 156. In order to ensure the air jet speed, the first air supply assembly and the second air supply assembly of the embodiment both adopt a centrifugal fan as a power source of heat exchange airflow. The first air guiding component 136 is connected between the air outlet of the first centrifugal fan 131 and the first air inlet 1281, so as to guide the air flow discharged by the first centrifugal fan 131 into the first air supply cavity 125. The second air guiding member 136 is connected between the air outlet of the second centrifugal fan 151 and the second air inlet 1291 to guide the air flow discharged from the second centrifugal fan 151 into the second air supply chamber.
The first centrifugal fan 131 accelerates the gas according to the principle that kinetic energy is converted into potential energy by using the first impeller 133 rotating at a high speed, and then decelerates and changes the flow direction, so that the kinetic energy is converted into potential energy. The first centrifugal fan 131 generally includes a first air collection port 132, a first impeller 133, and a first volute 134. The first air collecting port 132 of the first centrifugal fan 131 is used to ensure that the air flow can uniformly fill the inlet interface of the first impeller 133, so as to reduce the flow loss, in this embodiment, the first air collecting port 132 of the first centrifugal fan 131 tapers towards the first impeller 133, forming a bell mouth, and the air in the accommodating cavity of the first heat exchanger can be sucked into the first impeller 133 as much as possible. When the first impellers 133 of the first centrifugal fan 131 are driven by the first high-speed motor 135 to rotate along with the shaft, gas between the first impellers 133 rotates along with the first impellers 133 to obtain centrifugal force, the gas is thrown out of the first impellers 133 and enters the first volute 134, and the gas pressure increase in the first volute 134 is guided to be discharged. After the air between the blades is exhausted, negative pressure is formed; the air outside the first air collecting port 132 is continuously sucked in, thereby forming a continuous air flow.
The first impeller 133 and the first volute 134 of the first centrifugal fan 131 are disposed in a space defined by the longitudinal plate portion 1431 and the casing 112, and an exhaust port of the first volute 134 faces a side wall of the housing 110; the inlet of the first air guide 136 is connected to the outlet of the first volute 134. The first scroll 134 is spirally shaped, and sucks up air thrown out from the first impeller 133, and converts the dynamic pressure of the air flow into static pressure by the gradually widening sectional area.
The first air guiding component 136 is connected between the air outlet of the first centrifugal fan 131 and the first air inlet 1281, and is used for guiding the air flow discharged by the first centrifugal fan 131 into the first air supply cavity 125. The first wind guide component 136 may include a first drainage section 137 and a first wind supply section 138.
The first drainage segment 137 has an air inlet of the first air guiding component 136, and at least part of the segment body of the first drainage segment 137 is spiral to guide the air flow direction discharged by the first centrifugal fan 131 downward, and the first drainage segment 137 tapers from the air inlet of the first air guiding component 136 along the air flow direction, so that the air speed of the air flow entering the first air collecting cavity 139 of the first air supplying segment 138 is increased.
The first air supply section 138 is connected to the first drainage section 137, and defines a first air collecting cavity 139 therein to receive the air flow discharged from the first centrifugal fan 131, and the first air supply section 138 is provided with a first air inlet 1281 facing the first air supply cavity 125 so that the air flow in the first air collecting cavity 139 is supplied to the first air supply cavity 125. The first air supply section 138 forms a volute shape along the air outlet direction of the first drainage section 137, reduces the wind resistance of the air flow in the first air collection cavity 139, enables the air flow to form vortex in the first air collection cavity 139, and can smoothly lead to the first air supply cavity 125 from the first air collection cavity 139.
The first drainage section 137 may be disposed on one side of the first centrifugal fan 131, and due to the space limitation of the longitudinal plate portion 1431, the front-rear distance of the first drainage section 137 is smaller, and the first air supply section 138 is located below the first heat exchanger accommodating chamber (i.e. below the longitudinal plate portion 1431 and the heat exchanger 140), so that the distance in the front-rear direction is greater than that of the first drainage section 137, and the air outlet of the first air supply section 138 is disposed in the front portion (corresponding to the position of the first air inlet 1281) of the first air collecting chamber 139 on the side of the first air injecting section 128.
The structure of the second air supply assembly is identical to that of the first air supply assembly. Specifically, the second centrifugal fan 151 generally includes a second gas collection port 152, a second impeller 153, and a second volute 154. The second air collecting port 152 of the second centrifugal fan 151 serves to ensure that the air flow uniformly fills the inlet interface of the second impeller 153, reducing flow losses. The second air collecting port 152 of the second centrifugal fan 151 tapers towards the second impeller 153 to form a horn mouth, so that air in the accommodating cavity of the first heat exchanger can be sucked into the second impeller 153 as much as possible. When the second impeller 153 of the second centrifugal fan 151 is driven by the second high-speed motor 155 to rotate along with the shaft, gas between the second impellers 153 rotates along with the second impeller 153 to obtain centrifugal force, the gas is thrown out of the second impeller 153 and enters the second volute 154, and the gas pressure increase in the second volute 154 is guided and discharged. After the air between the blades is exhausted, negative pressure is formed; the air outside the second air collecting port 152 is continuously sucked to form a continuous air flow.
The second impeller 153 and the second scroll 154 of the second centrifugal fan 151 are disposed in a space defined by the longitudinal plate portion 1431 and the casing 112, and an exhaust port of the second scroll 154 faces a side wall of the housing 110; the inlet of the second air directing member 156 is connected to the outlet of the second volute 154. The second scroll 154 is formed in a spiral shape, and sucks up air thrown from the second impeller 153 and converts a dynamic pressure of the air flow into a static pressure by a widened sectional area.
The second air guiding member 156 is connected between the air outlet of the second centrifugal fan 151 and the second air inlet 1291, and is used for guiding the air flow discharged from the second centrifugal fan 151 into the second air supply cavity. The second air guide member 156 may include a second drainage section 157 and a second air supply section 158.
The second drainage section 157 has an air inlet of the second air guiding member 156, and at least a part of the second drainage section 157 is spirally formed to guide the air flow direction discharged from the second centrifugal fan 151 downward, and the second drainage section 157 is tapered from the air inlet of the second air guiding member 156 in the air flow direction, thereby accelerating the air speed of the air flow entering the second air collecting chamber 159 of the second air supplying section 158.
The second air supply section 158 is connected with the second drainage section 157, and defines a second air collection cavity 159 therein to receive the air flow discharged from the second centrifugal fan 151, and the second air supply section 158 is provided with a second air inlet 1291 for supplying the air flow of the second air collection cavity 159 to the second air supply cavity. The second air supply section 158 forms a volute shape along the air outlet direction of the second drainage section 157, reduces the wind resistance of the air flow in the second air collection cavity 159, enables the air flow to form vortex in the second air collection cavity 159, and can smoothly lead from the second air collection cavity 159 to the second air supply cavity.
The second flow guiding section 157 may be disposed at one side of the second centrifugal fan 151, and the front-rear distance of the second flow guiding section 157 is smaller due to the space limitation of the longitudinal plate portion 1431, and the second air supplying section 158 is disposed below the first heat exchanger accommodating chamber (i.e., below the longitudinal plate portion 1431 and the heat exchanger 140), so that the front-rear distance thereof is greater than the second flow guiding section 157, and the air outlet of the second air supplying section 158 is disposed at the front portion (corresponding to the position of the second air inlet 1291) of the second air collecting chamber 159 adjacent to the side of the second air injecting section 129.
The first air supply subassembly and second air supply subassembly can cooperate each other to realize the air supply, and both can start simultaneously, can start alone, and the mode of operation of first air supply subassembly and second air supply subassembly can include: the two air supply assemblies operate at the same air speed, the two air supply assemblies operate at different air speeds, the first air supply assembly operates independently, the second air supply assembly operates independently, and the first air supply assembly and the second air supply assembly operate alternately.
The first heat exchanging section 1401 and the second heat exchanging section 1402 may be selectively opened according to the operation mode of the indoor unit 100, so as to meet different heat exchanging requirements. For example, in the normal mode, only the first heat exchanging section 1401 is turned on, and in the case where the first heat exchanging section 1401 cannot meet the requirement, the second heat exchanging section 1402 is turned on at the same time. In other embodiments, the first heat exchange section 1401 and the second heat exchange section 1402 are configured to be co-started and stopped (which may be achieved by starting and stopping the compressor and opening and closing a valve in a pipeline).
The above operation modes can be used in combination with various sensors of the indoor unit 100, and by detecting the operation environment of the indoor unit 100, the operation states of the first air supply assembly, the second air supply assembly and the heat exchanger 140 are adjusted according to the preset control mode, for example, when the temperature of the whole indoor unit 100 needs to be adjusted, the first air supply assembly and the second air supply assembly can be started at the same time and continuously operate at the same wind speed (which can be determined according to the difference between the set temperature and the actual temperature); in addition, the wind speeds of the first air supply assembly and the second air supply assembly are set to be different, so that the direction of the air supply flow is correspondingly adjusted to adapt to the indoor space; under some special working conditions (for example, when a certain side needs to be blown independently), the first air supply assembly and the second air supply assembly can be alternatively started, and in addition, the first air supply assembly and the second air supply assembly can be alternatively started, so that an effect similar to that of swinging air is achieved, and balanced operation of internal components of the indoor unit 100 is ensured.
Because the first air supply assembly and the second air supply assembly supply air to the first air injection part 128 and the second air injection part 129 respectively and independently, the control mode is more flexible and convenient, the air supply requirements of different working conditions can be met, and the use experience of a user is greatly improved.
In the wall-mounted air conditioner indoor unit 100 of the embodiment, the air supply opening 117 below the casing 110 is used for arranging the annular air injection assembly 120, so that the air flow passing through the heat exchanger 140 exchanges heat is sprayed out from the air injection assembly 120, ambient air around the air supply opening 117 is sucked and mixed with the heat exchange air flow with severe ambient temperature difference, thus ensuring that the sent air flow is soft and the feeling of blowing to a human body is more comfortable, on one hand, the air supply amount of the indoor unit 100 is increased, the flow of indoor air is accelerated, the indoor temperature can be uniformly reduced as a whole, and the air outlet of the wall-mounted air conditioner indoor unit 100 of the invention is in a long round shape (also called a runway shape) and is arranged below the casing 110. The air inlets 116 are respectively formed on two sides of the housing 112, and are matched with the two air supply assemblies, so that the wall-mounted air conditioner indoor unit has an overall structure which is similar to that of the conventional wall-mounted air conditioner indoor unit, is easy to accept by a user, can replace the conventional wall-mounted air conditioner indoor unit easily, is flexible in mounting position, has compact internal parts, fully utilizes the space in the housing 110, and can enable the wall-mounted air conditioner indoor unit 100 to be thinner.
The heat exchange airflow of the wall-mounted air conditioner indoor unit 100 of the present embodiment has the following flow directions: after the first centrifugal fan 131 and the second centrifugal fan 151 are started, air around the indoor unit 100 is sucked into the first heat exchanger accommodating cavity from the air inlets 116 at two sides to exchange heat with the first heat exchange section 1401, and part of air in the first heat exchanger accommodating cavity flows into the second heat exchanger accommodating cavity to exchange heat with the second heat exchange section 1402. . A part of the air flow after heat exchange enters the first centrifugal fan 131, is accelerated by the first impeller 133, enters the first air guide component 136 through the first volute 134, is guided by the first drainage segment 137 of the first air guide component 136, and enters the first air collection cavity 139 of the first air supply segment 138. The air flow enters the annular first air supply cavity 125 from the first air inlet 1281 through the air outlet of the first air supply section 138 at the first air collection cavity 139 in a vortex-type manner, thereby forming a first heat exchange air flow.
The other part of the air flow after heat exchange enters the second centrifugal fan 151, is accelerated by the second impeller 153, enters the second air guide component 156 through the second volute 154, is guided by the second drainage section 157 of the second air guide component 156, and enters the second air collection cavity 159 of the second air supply section 158. The air flow enters the annular second air supply chamber from the second air inlet 1291 at the second air collection chamber 159 in a swirling flow pattern eventually passing through the air outlet of the second air supply section 158, thereby forming a second heat exchange air flow.
