The casing 100 is composed of a front plate, a rear plate, and left and right side plates, and the cross-section of the indoor unit of the floor type air conditioner is approximately rectangular. The first air outlet 101 and the second air outlet 102 located on the left side and the right side are formed in the front plate of the shell 100, the third air outlet 103 and the fourth air outlet 104 are formed in the left side plate and the right side plate of the shell 100 respectively, and the four air outlets extend along the vertical direction of the vertical air conditioner. Preferably, the first air outlet 101 and the second air outlet 102 are arranged in bilateral symmetry, and the third air outlet 103 and the fourth air outlet 104 are arranged in bilateral symmetry. At least parts of the rear plate and the left and right side plates of the casing 100 are further provided with air inlets, in this embodiment, the number of the air inlets is 2, and the first air inlets 105 are formed in the left half part of the back plate and the part of the left side plate close to the back plate; the second air inlet 106 is formed on the right half part of the back plate and the part of the right side plate close to the back plate. Preferably, an air inlet grille can be arranged at the air inlet.
The casing 100 has two independent air supply systems on the left and right. Specifically, the casing 100 has two left and right chambers formed therein, the left chamber being configured to accommodate the first air supply system, and the right chamber being configured to accommodate the second air supply system. The first air supply system comprises a first through-flow fan 210, a first indoor unit heat exchanger 310 and a first rotating volute 410; the second air supply system includes a second cross flow fan 220, a second indoor unit heat exchanger 320, and a second rotary scroll 420. The first cross flow fan 210 and the second cross flow fan 220 are respectively arranged in the chambers at the left and right sides inside the casing 100 along the vertical extension inside the air conditioning chamber, the first cross flow fan 210 and the second cross flow fan 220 have the same size and length, and the length of the cross flow fan is matched with the length of the four air outlets.
The first indoor unit heat exchanger 310 is disposed between the first through-flow fan 210 and the first air inlet 105, and is configured to exchange heat with an intake airflow of the first air inlet 105. The second indoor unit heat exchanger 320 is disposed between the second cross-flow fan 220 and the second air inlet 106, and is configured to exchange heat with an air intake flow of the second air inlet 106, and the cross-flow fan blows an air flow after exchanging heat with the heat exchanger to the air outlet. The indoor unit in this embodiment has two independently controllable heat exchangers, set up respectively in controlling two chambeies. An interval is arranged between the two indoor machine heat exchangers, the interval is positioned in the middle of the inside of the indoor machine, and the area corresponds to the air inlet low-wind-speed area of the two cross-flow fans. Each indoor unit heat exchanger is arranged along the vertical extension of the indoor unit, the section of the indoor unit heat exchanger is arc-shaped, and the indoor unit heat exchanger partially surrounds the corresponding cross-flow fan, namely, one part of the heat exchanger is positioned behind the cross-flow fan, and the other part of the heat exchanger is positioned on the left side (or the right side) of the cross-flow fan. The indoor unit of the embodiment avoids the arrangement of the heat exchanger in the air inlet low-speed area, and simultaneously increases the area of the heat exchanger on two side surfaces (namely, the high-wind-speed area) of the cross-flow fan, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency.
The first rotary scroll 410 is provided in a chamber on the left side of the inside of the housing 100. The first through-flow fan 210 is located at an inlet of the first rotating volute 410, and the first rotating volute 410 is configured to controllably rotate around a straight line parallel to the vertical direction of the indoor unit of the air conditioner so as to communicate an outlet of the first through-flow fan with the first air outlet 101 or the third air outlet 103. In this embodiment, the vertical air conditioner indoor unit further includes a first rotating motor, and the first rotating motor is connected to the first rotating scroll 410 and is configured to drive the first rotating scroll 410 to rotate.
The second rotary scroll 420 is provided in a chamber inside the housing 100 at the right side. The second cross-flow fan 220 is located at the inlet of the second rotating volute 420, and the second rotating volute 420 is configured to controllably rotate around a straight line parallel to the vertical direction of the indoor unit of the air conditioner so as to communicate the outlet of the second rotating volute 420 with the second air outlet 102 or the fourth air outlet 104. The vertical air conditioner indoor unit further comprises a second rotating motor, and the second rotating motor is connected with the second rotating volute 420 and is used for driving the second rotating volute 420 to rotate. In this embodiment, preferably, the two rotating volutes are the same in size and shape, and are symmetrically arranged.
In some embodiments of the present invention, the first and second rotating electrical machines are synchronized to act in opposite directions such that first and second rotating volutes 410 and 420 mirror-image. A user can use the air conditioner remote controller to operate the two rotating volutes to rotate to the outlets which are respectively communicated with the two air outlets (i.e. the first air outlet 101 and the second air outlet 102) on the front plate of the casing 100, so as to realize forward air outlet of the indoor unit (the airflow direction is shown by an arrow in fig. 1). The user can also operate the two rotating volutes to rotate to the outlets respectively communicated with the two air outlets (i.e. the third air outlet 103 and the fourth air outlet 104) on the side plate of the casing 100, so as to realize the side-to-side air outlet of the indoor unit (the airflow direction is shown by the arrow in fig. 2). In other embodiments of the present invention, a user may further control the first rotating scroll 410 to communicate with the first air outlet 101, and control the second rotating scroll 420 to communicate with the fourth air outlet 104, so as to achieve partial forward air outlet and partial lateral air outlet of the indoor unit.
In this embodiment, the indoor unit of a floor air conditioner further includes: a first air outlet duct 111 and a second air outlet duct 112. The first outlet duct 111 is formed in a chamber on the left side inside the casing 100, extends in the front-rear direction of the indoor unit of the air conditioner, and communicates the first inlet 105 and the first outlet 101. A first branch duct 121 leading to the third air outlet 103 is disposed on an air outlet path of the first air outlet duct 111, and the first rotary scroll 410 is disposed in a junction area of the first air outlet duct 111 and the first branch duct 121. The second air outlet duct 112 is formed in the right chamber inside the casing 100, extends along the front-back direction of the indoor unit of the air conditioner, and communicates with at least the second air inlet 106 and the second air outlet 102. A second branch air duct 122 leading to the fourth air outlet 104 is disposed on an air outlet path of the second air outlet duct 112, and the second rotating scroll 420 is disposed in a junction area between the second air outlet duct 112 and the second branch air duct 122.
In this embodiment, preferably, the first air outlet duct 111 and the first branch air duct 121 are respectively disposed in bilateral symmetry with the second air outlet duct 112 and the second branch air duct 122.
When the first rotating volute 410 rotates to communicate with the first air outlet 101, the bending extending direction thereof is the same as the bending extending direction of the partial section of the first air outlet duct 111; when the second rotating scroll 420 rotates to communicate with the second air outlet 102, the curved extending direction thereof is the same as the curved extending direction of the partial section of the second air outlet duct 112. When the first rotating scroll 410 rotates to communicate with the third air outlet 103, the bending extending direction thereof is the same as the first branch air duct 121; when the second rotating volute 420 rotates to communicate with the fourth air outlet 104, the curved extending direction thereof is the same as the second branch air duct 122. The shape of the rotating volute of the indoor unit is matched with the corresponding bending shapes of the air outlet duct and the branch duct, so that the rotating volute is connected with any air outlet, and air flow can smoothly circulate.
Specifically, taking the first rotating volute 410 as an example, when the first rotating volute 410 rotates to communicate with the first air outlet 101, the volute wall near the middle portion of the indoor unit abuts against the inner side wall of the first air outlet duct 111, the first air outlet duct 111 is opened, and the volute wall far from the middle portion of the indoor unit closes the first branch air duct 121, so as to prevent the air flow from being blown out of the first branch air duct 121 (as shown in fig. 1). When the first rotary volute 410 rotates to communicate with the third air outlet 103, the volute wall near the middle portion of the indoor unit closes the first air outlet duct 111, so as to prevent the airflow from being blown out of the first air outlet duct 111, and meanwhile, the volute wall far from the middle portion of the indoor unit is abutted to the duct wall of the first branch duct 121 (as shown in fig. 2). The rotation pattern of the second rotary scroll 420 is similar to that of the first rotary scroll 410, and thus, is not described in detail.
The vertical air conditioner indoor unit further comprises: a first fan motor and a second fan motor. The first fan motor is connected to one end of the first through-flow fan 210, and is configured to drive the first through-flow fan 210 to rotate. The second fan motor is connected to one end of the second cross flow fan 220 for driving the second cross flow fan 220 to rotate. The first fan motor and the second fan motor may be independently turned on/off. In the present embodiment, the first cross flow fan 210 and the second cross flow fan 220 may be separately turned on according to the user's requirement, or may be turned on simultaneously. When one of the cross-flow fans is turned off, the corresponding air supply system can be kept off.
The vertical air-conditioning indoor unit also comprises four air guide plate groups respectively arranged at each air outlet. The first air deflector group 510 is disposed at the first air outlet 101, and is used for opening and closing the first air outlet 101; the second air guide plate group 520 is arranged at the second air outlet 102 and used for opening and closing the second air outlet 102; a third air guide plate group 530 disposed at the third air outlet 103 and configured to open and close the third air outlet 103; the fourth air deflection group 540 is disposed at the fourth air outlet 104 and is used for opening and closing the fourth air outlet 104. Each air guide plate group comprises at least two air guide plates which extend vertically along the indoor unit of the air conditioner. Each air deflector can also rotate along a vertical straight line of the indoor unit so as to adjust the air outlet direction of the corresponding air outlet.
