Detailed Description
Reference will now be made in detail to embodiments of the present invention, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein like or similar reference numerals refer to the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar function throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are illustrative only for the purpose of explaining the present invention, and are not to be construed as limiting the present invention.
Referring to the drawings, an air conditioner 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described, and a conventional air conditioner 100 is generally a split type air conditioner 100, and generally includes an indoor unit and an outdoor unit, wherein the indoor unit is used for adjusting air conditions, such as temperature or humidity, of an indoor environment.
As shown in fig. 1 and 4, an air conditioner 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a case 1 and a fan assembly 2.
As shown in fig. 7, the housing 1 is provided with an air outlet 12, so that the air flow in the air duct 11 of the housing 1 can be blown into the room through the air outlet 12.
As shown in fig. 4, 8 and 9, the fan assembly 2 is installed outside the housing 1, and at least one side of the air outlet 12 is provided with the fan assembly 2, and the fan assembly 2 operates to adjust the flow direction of at least a part of the air flow blown out from the air outlet 12, so that the structure is simple and the adjustment is convenient.
In a specific application, the fan assembly 2 can extract air in certain directions and send air in certain directions during operation, and for convenience of description, the air flow flowing from the air duct 11 to the air outlet 12 and blowing out from the air outlet 12 is referred to as a first air flow.
It will be appreciated that the direction of the supply or extraction of air by the fan assembly 2 will have an effect on the direction of flow of the first airflow. For example, when the fan assembly 2 sends air toward the first air flow, a part of the first air flow is inclined toward a direction away from the fan assembly 2 when being blown out from the outlet 12 under the influence of the air sending direction of the fan assembly 2. Specifically, in some embodiments, referring to fig. 9, the fan assembly 2 is located at the left side of the air outlet 12, and when the fan assembly 2 blows air towards the right side towards the first air flow, a part of the first air flow is inclined towards the right side when blowing out from the air outlet 12, so that the function of blowing air to the right side of the air conditioner 100 can be realized.
For example, when the fan assembly 2 can draw the first airflow, a part of the first airflow is inclined toward the fan assembly 2 when being blown out from the outlet 12 due to the effect of the drawing direction of the fan assembly 2. Specifically, in some embodiments, referring to fig. 8, the fan assembly 2 is located at the left side of the air outlet 12, and when the fan assembly 2 draws the first air flow to the left, a part of the first air flow is inclined to the left when being blown out from the air outlet 12, so that the function of blowing air to the left side of the air conditioner 100 can be realized.
In the above two embodiments, the fan assembly 2 may have a certain louver-like function, so that the louver may be eliminated, thereby facilitating the simplification of the internal structure of the air conditioner 100.
In addition, it can be understood that the rotating speed of the fan assembly 2 may affect the first airflow to different degrees, and stepless adjustment of the flowing direction of the first airflow can be achieved by adjusting the rotating speed. For example, when the rotation speed of the fan assembly 2 is small, the air volume and the air pressure of the fan assembly 2 are small, and at this time, the influence of the fan assembly 2 on the first air flow is also small, so that when the first air flow is blown out from the air outlet 12, only a small portion of the first air flow is influenced by the fan assembly 2 and deviates from the original flowing direction. For another example, when the rotation speed of the fan assembly 2 is high, the air volume and the air pressure of the fan assembly 2 are high, and at this time, the influence of the fan assembly 2 on the first air flow is also high, so that when the first air flow is blown out from the air outlet 12, most or all of the first air flow can be influenced by the fan assembly 2 and deviate from the original flow direction to a large extent.
To sum up, through the operating condition of adjustment fan subassembly 2, for example, adjust air supply direction, convulsions direction or rotational speed etc. of fan subassembly 2, can effectively adjust the flow direction of the air current that blows off from air outlet 12 to can greatly enrich the form of blowing of air conditioner 100, make air conditioner 100 can satisfy user's user demand better. In addition, compared with the structure that the louver and the air deflector are commonly used for guiding air in the related art, the form can eliminate the louver, thereby being beneficial to simplifying the internal structure of the air conditioner 100.
According to the air conditioner 100 of the embodiment of the invention, the fan assembly 2 is installed at the outer side of the shell 1, the fan assembly 2 is arranged at least on one side of the air outlet 12, and the fan assembly 2 works to adjust the flowing direction of at least part of the air flow blown out from the air outlet 12, so that the structure is simple, the adjustment is convenient, and the flowing direction of the air flow blown out from the air outlet 12 can be effectively adjusted by adjusting the working state of the fan assembly 2, so that the blowing form of the air conditioner 100 can be greatly enriched, the air conditioner 100 can better meet the use requirements of users, compared with the structure that the air guide is generally carried out by adopting the louvers and the air guide plates in the related technology, the louvers can be eliminated, and the internal structure of the air conditioner 100 can be simplified.
In some embodiments of the present invention, as shown in fig. 2 and 3, the air conditioner 100 further includes a wind guiding member 3, the wind guiding member 3 is rotatably disposed at the air outlet 12 to open or close the air outlet 12, when the wind guiding member 3 closes the air outlet 12, the wind guiding member 3 can play a certain role in protecting the air conditioner 100, so as to prevent foreign matters from entering the interior of the housing 1 through the air outlet 12, and when the wind guiding member 3 opens the air outlet 12, because the wind guiding member 3 is rotatable, the wind guiding member 3 can also guide the airflow passing through the air outlet 12, thereby further enriching the blowing form of the air conditioner 100.
In some embodiments of the present invention, as shown in fig. 4, 5 and 6, the air guide 3 is configured in a cylindrical shape, the peripheral wall of the air guide 3 is provided with an inlet 31 and an outlet 32 spaced apart in the circumferential direction of the air guide 3, the fan assembly 2 is located on at least one side of the air guide 3 in the axial direction (for example, the left-right direction) of the air guide 3, and one end of the air guide 3 in the axial direction close to the fan assembly 2 is provided with a ventilation opening 33, so that the structure is simple and the appearance is beautiful. In the opening position for opening the air outlet 12, the inlet 31 is communicated with the air duct 11, and the outlet 32 is exposed, so that the air flow in the air duct 11 can flow into the air guide 3 through the inlet 31, and then flows out from the outlet 32 after being guided by the fan assembly 2 and the air guide 3; in the closed position for closing the air outlet 12, the inlet 31 and the outlet 32 are both hidden in the housing 1, and the portion of the peripheral wall of the air guide 3 located between the inlet 31 and the outlet 32 blocks the air outlet 12, so that the air outlet 12 can be closed, and the inlet 31 and the outlet 32 of the air guide 3 are not exposed, thereby having a good closing effect.
Specifically, for example, referring to fig. 4, 5, and 6, the air guide 3 has a cylindrical structure extending substantially in the left-right direction, the rotation axis of the air guide 3 extends in the left-right direction, the air guide 3 has a cavity, the circumferential wall of the air guide 3 is arc-shaped, the circumferential wall is provided with an inlet 31 and an outlet 32, the inlet 31 and the outlet 32 are spaced apart in the circumferential direction of the air guide 3 and are both communicated with the cavity, the left side and the right side of the air guide 3 are both provided with the fan assemblies 2, and the left end and the right end of the air guide 3 are both provided with vents 33, so that the flow direction of the airflow passing through the air guide 3 can be adjusted when the fan assemblies 2 on the left side and the right.
Specifically, during operation of the air guide 3, the rotation axis of the air guide 3 extends in the left-right direction, so that the air guide 3 can sweep the air of the air conditioner 100 up and down during rotation. In addition, since the air guide 3 is configured to be cylindrical, the inner peripheral wall and the outer peripheral wall of the air guide 3 form a curved surface, so that when an air flow passes through the air guide 3, a coanda effect is generated, where the coanda effect means that a fluid (water flow or air flow) has a tendency to deviate from an original flow direction and flow along a convex object surface instead, when a surface friction (also called fluid viscosity) exists between the fluid and the object surface through which the fluid flows, as long as the curvature is not large, the fluid flows along the object surface, and when the air flow flows out from the outlet 32, the air flow has a large air supply range under the influence of the coanda effect.
In some embodiments of the present invention, as shown in fig. 5, the inlet 31 and/or the outlet 32 are strip-shaped structures extending along the length direction of the wind guide 3, so that the structure is simple and easy to implement.
In some embodiments of the present invention, the inlet 31 and the outlet 32 are disposed opposite to each other in the radial direction, so that the structure is simple and the machine-shaping is facilitated.
In some embodiments of the present invention, as shown in fig. 6, the ventilation opening 33 is defined by a plurality of ventilation pores 34, so that the structure is simple, and the structure has a certain filtering function, so as to prevent some large foreign matters from entering the air guide 3.

In practical applications, the first filter element may be disposed outside the air guide 3, or may be disposed inside the air guide 3, which is not limited in the present invention.
In some embodiments of the present invention, as shown in fig. 5 and 6, the air conditioner 100 further includes a driving member disposed on the casing 1 and located at one axial side (for example, left side) of the air guide 3, the driving member being connected to the air guide 3 for driving the air guide 3 to rotate, whereby the air guide 3 can be automatically rotated.
In some embodiments of the present invention, as shown in fig. 6, the driving member is a stepping motor 4, the housing 1 is provided with a motor base 13, and the stepping motor 4 is detachably mounted on the motor base 13, thereby facilitating the detachment and installation of the stepping motor 4.
Specifically, for example, a shaft hole is provided at one axial end of the air guide 3, and an output shaft of the stepping motor 4 is engaged with the shaft hole to rotationally drive the air guide 3. Furthermore, an electricity-proof shaft can be sleeved on the output shaft of the stepping motor 4 and then matched with the shaft hole, so that the use safety is improved.
In practical application, can realize dismantling between step motor 4 and the motor cabinet 13 and link to each other the form has a lot, for example, can dismantle through fasteners such as screws between step motor 4 and the motor cabinet 13 and link to each other, this kind of connection form simple structure, joint strength is big, and is difficult not hard up, and the dismouting is all more convenient moreover.
In some embodiments of the present invention, as shown in fig. 4 and 7, a concave portion 14 is formed on the housing 1, the concave portion 14 penetrates through the housing 1 in a length direction (for example, a left-right direction) of the housing 1, the air outlet 12 and the fan assembly 2 are both provided at the concave portion 14, and the fan assembly 2 is located at one side of the length direction of the air outlet 12, so that the structure is simple, and the appearance is beautiful.
In some embodiments of the present invention, the fan assemblies 2 are respectively disposed on two sides of the length direction of the air outlet 12, so that the effect of the fan assemblies 2 on adjusting the flow direction of at least part of the air flow blown out from the air outlet 12 can be improved.
Specifically, for example, referring to fig. 4 and 7, the lower portion of the front side of the housing 1 is recessed rearward to form a recessed portion 14, the recessed portion 14 is arc-shaped, the recessed portion 14 penetrates the housing 1 in the left-right direction, the peripheral wall of the recessed portion 14 is formed with the air outlet 12, the air outlet 12 extends in the left-right direction, and the fan assemblies 2 are provided in two sets, respectively on the left side and the right side of the air outlet 12.
It can be understood that, because the fan assemblies 2 are disposed on both sides of the length direction of the air outlet 12, the air blowing form of the air conditioner 100 can be more varied by adjusting the working states of the different fan assemblies 2.
In the specific working process, for example, referring to fig. 8, when the left fan assembly 2 extracts the first airflow leftwards, and the right fan assembly 2 extracts the first airflow rightwards, the first airflow of the left part can incline leftwards when blowing out from the air outlet 12, and the first airflow of the right part can incline rightwards when blowing out from the air outlet 12, so that the discomfort caused by directly blowing the airflow blown out from the air outlet 12 to a human body can be avoided to a certain extent, and the air conditioner 100 can form a blowing form of embracing the wind, so that a user can feel the embracing wind, and the comfortable experience of the user is improved.
For another example, referring to fig. 9, when the left fan assembly 2 blows air to the right and the right fan assembly 2 blows air to the left, the first airflow at the left part will incline to the right when blowing out from the air outlet 12, and the first airflow at the right part will incline to the left when blowing out from the air outlet 12, so that collision will occur, which is beneficial to forming a blowing form for the air conditioner 100 to collide with the air, and further enables the user to feel a feeling of collision, thereby effectively reducing discomfort caused by too strong wind feeling due to the fact that the first airflow directly blows to the human body.
For another example, when the left fan assembly 2 draws a first airflow leftwards, and the right fan assembly 2 blows air leftwards, the first airflow at the left part will incline leftwards when blowing out from the air outlet 12, and the first airflow at the right part will also incline leftwards when blowing out from the air outlet 12, so that the air conditioner 100 can form a form of blowing air leftwards as a whole; and when the left fan assembly 2 blows air rightwards, and the right fan assembly 2 extracts the first air flow rightwards, the first air flow of the left part can incline rightwards when blowing out from the air outlet 12, and the first air flow of the right part can also incline rightwards when blowing out from the air outlet 12, so that the air conditioner 100 can form a whole right side blowing mode. If the left-right circulation wind sweeping function of the air conditioner 100 is further realized, the operation states of the left fan assembly 2 and the right fan assembly 2 may be controlled to alternately realize the wind blowing forms in the above two embodiments.
In some embodiments of the present invention, the fan assembly 2 includes the first fan 21, and the first fan 21 is an axial flow fan capable of rotating forward and backward, so that the structure is simple, the control is convenient, and the working requirement of the fan assembly 2 can be met.
Specifically, for example, the first fan 21 is located on the left side of the air outlet 12, and the axial flow direction of the first fan 21 is the left-right direction, wherein when the first fan 21 rotates forward, the first fan 21 can extract air on the left side and send the air to the right side, so that part of the first air flow can be inclined to the right; when the first fan 21 is reversed, the first fan 21 draws a part of the first airflow on the right side to blow air to the left side, thereby making the part of the first airflow inclined to the left.
In consideration of the related art, although there is an axial flow fan capable of rotating forward and backward, the air volume generated by the reverse rotation of the axial flow fan is generally small, so as to better meet the working requirement of the fan assembly 2 and obtain a better air guiding effect, in other embodiments, as shown in fig. 4, the fan assembly 2 includes a first fan 21 and a second fan 22, the first fan 21 and the second fan 22 are both axial flow fans, and the air supply direction of the first fan 21 is opposite to the air supply direction of the second fan 22.
