When the bidirectional wind wheel reverses, the second wind opening 12 is at the wind outlet side of the bidirectional wind wheel, the first wind opening 11 and the wind inlet 13 are at the wind inlet side of the bidirectional wind wheel, and when the air conditioner is in a heating mode, the bidirectional wind wheel is controlled to reverse, so that high-temperature air flow is sent out from the second wind opening 12 positioned below, then hot air rises, the air cannot float above the room, the indoor temperature distribution of the heating layering phenomenon is avoided, and the human body feel comfortable.
By controlling the opening and closing of the first cover plate 51 and/or the second cover plate 52, whether to mix air or not and the adjustment of the air mixing gear during air mixing in the cooling or heating mode can be realized. Specifically, referring to fig. 2 and 4, if only cooling is performed and no air mixing is performed, the bidirectional wind wheel may be controlled to rotate forward, the first cover plate 51 is opened, the second cover plate 52 is closed, and the opening degree of the first cover plate 51 may be adjusted to adjust the air supply direction of the first air port 11. If the air is mixed at the same time in the cooling mode, the second cover plate 52 is further opened, so that a part of indoor air flow does not pass through the heat exchanger 50, and is mixed with the heat exchange air flow uniformly at the fan assembly 301, and then the air can be sent out from the first air port 11, and the opening degree of the second cover plate 52 can be adjusted, so that the air mixing volume of the air conditioner is also adjusted.
With continued reference to fig. 3 and 5, if only heating is performed and no air mixing is performed, the bidirectional wind wheel may be controlled to rotate reversely, the second cover plate 52 may be opened, the first cover plate 51 may be closed, and the opening degree of the second cover plate 52 may be adjusted to adjust the air supply direction of the second air port 12. If the air is mixed at the same time in the heating mode, the first cover plate 51 is further required to be opened, so that a part of indoor air flow is not mixed uniformly with the heat exchange air flow at the fan assembly 301 without passing through the heat exchanger 50, and then the air can be sent out from the second air port 12, the opening degree of the first cover plate 51 can be adjusted, and the air mixing quantity of the air conditioner is also adjusted. In this embodiment, the user or the control system inside the air conditioner may adjust according to the actual requirements, select different air outlet air outlets in different heat exchange modes, adjust the air outlet direction, select whether to mix air, and select a suitable air mixing amount, so that the air conditioner indoor unit 100 has multiple air outlet modes to perform selective adjustment, and improve the user experience.
In this embodiment, the specific model of the bidirectional wind wheel is not limited, as long as it can drive the airflow from different directions under the forward rotation and the reverse rotation. For example, an axial flow wind wheel or a cross flow wind wheel 30 is possible. When the bi-directional wind wheel is a cross-flow wind wheel 30, the blades of the cross-flow wind wheel 30 need to be specially designed, specifically referring to fig. 8 to 10, in an embodiment, the cross-flow wind wheel 30 has first blades 32 and second blades 33 that are alternately distributed in the axial direction, and the first blades 32 and the second blades 33 have different blade shapes, so that when the cross-flow wind wheel 30 rotates forward, the cross-flow wind wheel 30 drives the airflow to be sent out from the radial direction of the first blades 32, and when the cross-flow wind wheel 30 rotates backward, the cross-flow wind wheel 30 drives the airflow to be sent out from the radial direction of the second blades 33. Referring to fig. 9 and 10 for the specific profiles of the first blade segment 32 and the second blade segment 33, it can be seen that the profile of the first blade segment 32 has the same rotation direction as the forward rotation direction, and the profile of the second blade segment 33 has the same rotation direction as the reverse rotation direction. Thus, through the cross flow wind wheel 30 provided in this embodiment, different air supply directions of the bidirectional wind wheel in forward rotation and reverse rotation states can be realized. It can be appreciated that other embodiments of the specific structure of the cross-flow wind wheel 30 may be provided, for example, the cross-flow wind wheel 30 is provided with a movable fan blade and a fan blade driving device for driving the fan blade to move, the position of the fan blade may be adjusted according to the rotation direction of the cross-flow wind wheel 30, and the fan blade driving device is specifically utilized to adaptively drive and adjust the fan blade, so that the fan blade moves to a position with the same rotation direction as the current rotation direction. Thus, through the cross flow wind wheel 30 provided in this embodiment, different air supply directions of the bidirectional wind wheel in forward rotation and reverse rotation states can be realized.
It can be understood that the influence on the air supply direction is limited only by adjusting the rotation direction of the bidirectional wind wheel, and if the internal structure of the air duct 14 is not adjusted adaptively, the air resistance of the air flow in the air duct 14 is large, the air supply quantity is affected, and large noise is generated. To this end, referring to fig. 1 to 5, the air duct 14 further includes a first air duct section 141 adjacent to the first air port 11, and a second air duct section 142 adjacent to the second air port 12, and it is understood that the first air duct section 141 is disposed adjacent to a side of the first air port 11 adjacent to the bi-directional wind wheel, and the second air duct section 142 is disposed adjacent to a side of the second air port 12 adjacent to the bi-directional wind wheel. The indoor unit 100 further includes an air duct switching plate 20, where the air duct switching plate 20 forms part of the air duct wall of the air duct 14, that is, the air duct switching plate 20 forms at least part of the air duct wall of the air duct 14 except the first air duct section 141, the second air duct section 142, and the air intake section 140.
The air duct switching plate 20 is movably disposed on the casing 10, so as to have a first working position and a second working position, please refer to fig. 2 to 5, in which the air inlet port of the first air duct section 141 is gradually increased in the moving stroke of the air duct switching plate 20 from the first position to the second position, and the air inlet port of the second air duct section 142 is gradually increased in the moving stroke of the air duct switching plate 20 from the second position to the first position. In this way, the air conditioner indoor unit 100 is switched to the first working position by the air duct switching plate 20 in the cooling mode, so that the air inlet 13 is communicated with the first air inlet 11 to form an upper air outlet duct, the air outlet air is guided to flow to the first air inlet 11 to be sent out, and in the heating mode, the air duct switching plate 20 is switched to the second working position, so that the air inlet 13 is communicated with the second air inlet 12 to form a lower air outlet duct, the air outlet air is guided to flow to the second air inlet 12 to be sent out, the internal form of the air duct 14 is matched with the actual air outlet position of the air conditioner indoor unit 100, the air loss is reduced, the air quantity is increased, and the heat exchange efficiency is improved. It will be appreciated that, in the cooling mode, the air duct switching plate 20 does not completely close the air outlet port of the second air duct section 142, so that when the second cover plate 52 is opened, air mixing can be performed, and the air inlet port of the first air duct section 141 is larger than the air outlet port of the second air duct section 142. Similarly, the air duct switching plate 20 does not completely close the air inlet port of the first air duct section 141 in the heating mode, so that the air mixing can be performed when the first cover plate 51 is opened, and the air inlet port of the second air duct section 142 is larger than the air outlet port of the first air duct section 141.
In this embodiment, the bi-directional wind wheel is a cross-flow wind wheel 30, referring to fig. 1 to 5, and the heat exchanger 50 is disposed in an arc-shaped plate bent toward the air inlet 13. Thus, the heat exchange area of the heat exchanger 50 is increased, and the heat exchange efficiency is improved.
In an embodiment, as shown in fig. 1 to 5, the bidirectional wind wheel is a through-flow wind wheel 30, the air inlet 13 is located between the first air inlet 11 and the second air inlet 12 in the up-down direction, and the air duct switching plate 20 is disposed on a side of the through-flow wind wheel 30 facing away from the air inlet 13 and is in an arc-shaped plate shape that is curved towards a direction away from the through-flow wind wheel 30. In this embodiment, the air duct switching plate 20 is curved to conform to the shape of the conventional through-flow air duct 14, and the air duct switching plate 20 cooperates with the air duct walls of the air inlet section 140 and the first air duct section 141 or the second air duct section 142 to form the through-flow air duct 14 with a shape suitable for the through-flow wind wheel 30, so as to guide the air flow to flow from the air inlet 13 to the first air inlet 11 or the second air inlet 12 serving as the air outlet channel, reduce the wind resistance, and increase the air supply.
Further, referring to fig. 1 and 6 in combination, the dashed line illustrates the configuration of the air duct switching plate 20 in the first working position, and the solid line illustrates the configuration of the air duct switching plate 20 in the second working position. It can be seen that the air duct switching plate 20 is rotatably mounted on the casing 10, and the rotating shaft 21 of the air duct switching plate 20 and the rotating shaft 31 of the cross-flow wind wheel 30 are arranged side by side, the air duct switching plate 20 has a first rotating end 22 and a second rotating end 23 which are oppositely arranged at two sides of the rotating shaft 21, the first rotating end 22 is close to the first air duct section 141, and the second rotating end 23 is close to the second air duct section 142.
Referring to fig. 2, in the cooling mode, the air duct switching plate 20 is switched to the first working position, the first rotating end 22 is far away from the through-flow wind wheel 30, and the second rotating end 23 is near the through-flow wind wheel 30 so as to communicate the air inlet section 140 and the first air duct section 141 to form an upper air outlet air duct. Thus, when the cross-flow wind wheel 30 works, the indoor air flows through the air inlet 13, exchanges heat through the heat exchanger 50, cools down, flows to the first air duct section 141, and is sent out from the first air inlet 11 located above. The low-temperature gas sinks, cold air cannot be directly blown to a human body, indoor temperature is uniformly distributed, and the human body feels comfortable. Referring to fig. 4, if the second air port 12 is opened, the other part of the air flow does not pass through the heat exchanger 50, and is fully and uniformly stirred with the heat exchanged air flow at the through-flow wind wheel 30, and then flows to the first air channel section 141, and is sent out from the first air port 11 located above. Compared with a non-mixed air cooling mode, in the mixed air mode, the temperature difference between the air supply temperature of the air conditioner indoor unit 100 and the room temperature can be reduced, indoor air circulation is quickened, the cooling temperature drop time is shortened, the comfort of a human body is improved, and the heat exchange air flow and the non-heat exchange air flow can be fully mixed by utilizing the cross flow wind wheel 30, so that the air supply temperature of the air conditioner indoor unit 100 is uniform, temperature layering is avoided, and the comfort of the human body is further improved.
Referring to fig. 3, in the heating mode, the air duct switching plate 20 is switched to the second working position, the second rotating end 23 is far away from the through-flow wind wheel 30, and the first rotating end 22 is near the through-flow wind wheel 30 to communicate the air inlet section 140 and the second air duct section 142, so as to form a lower air outlet air duct. Thus, when the cross-flow wind wheel 30 works, the indoor air flows through the air inlet 13, exchanges heat through the heat exchanger 50, heats up, flows to the second air duct section 142, and is sent out from the second air inlet 12 located below. The high-temperature air rises, the heating layering phenomenon is avoided, the indoor temperature is uniformly distributed, and the human body feels comfortable. Referring to fig. 5, if the first air port 11 is opened, another portion of the air flow does not pass through the heat exchanger 50, and after being fully and uniformly stirred with the heat exchanged air flow at the through-flow wind wheel 30, the air flow flows to the second air channel segment 142, and is sent out from the second air port 12 located below. Compared with a non-mixed air refrigerating mode, in the mixed air mode, the temperature difference between the air supply temperature of the air conditioner indoor unit 100 and the room temperature can be reduced, indoor air circulation is quickened, the time of heating and temperature rise is shortened, the comfort of a human body is improved, and the heat exchange air flow and the non-heat exchange air flow can be fully mixed by utilizing the cross flow wind wheel 30, so that the air supply temperature of the air conditioner indoor unit 100 is uniform, temperature layering is avoided, and the comfort of the human body is further improved.
In this embodiment, the air duct switching plate 20 is switched between the first working position and the second working position by a seesaw type rotation action, the moving path is simple, the stroke is small, the structure is simple and reliable, the production and the assembly are easy, and the production cost is low.
In an embodiment, referring to fig. 7, in the axial direction of the through-flow wind wheel 30, an included angle C between a connecting line between the rotating shaft 21 and the rotating shaft 31 and the vertical direction is greater than or equal to 30 degrees and less than or equal to 60 degrees. The position relationship between the air duct switching plate 20 and the cross-flow wind wheel 30 is determined in this way, and the air inlet 13 and the air duct switching plate 20 are disposed opposite to each other on both sides of the cross-flow wind wheel 30, so that the air inlet 13 is located at a position substantially in front of the casing 10, and the air duct switching plate 20 is located at a position substantially in front of the cross-flow wind wheel 30, so that the structural arrangement is reasonable, and the air duct switching plate 20 has enough space activity, and is suitable for the appearance requirement of the general wall-mounted air conditioner indoor unit 100.
In another embodiment, referring to fig. 7, the radius of the cross-flow wind wheel 30 is R, and the minimum distance S between the rotating shaft 21 and the rotating shaft 31 is greater than or equal to 1.2R and less than or equal to 1.6R. In this embodiment, too small a distance R between the rotating shaft 21 of the air duct switching plate 20 and the rotating shaft 31 will cause too small a rotating stroke of the air duct switching plate 20 to be able to switch between the first working position and the second working position well, so as to realize that an upper air outlet duct or a lower air outlet duct is formed, and if too large a distance R between the rotating shaft 21 of the air duct switching plate 20 and the rotating shaft 31 will cause too large a distance between the air duct switching plate 20 and the cross flow wind wheel 30, so as to not play a good air guiding role, and also possibly cause too large wind resistance and enhanced noise. For this reason, in the present embodiment, the minimum distance S between the rotating shaft 21 and the rotating shaft 31 is greater than or equal to 1.2R and less than or equal to 1.6R, so that the distance between the air duct switching plate 20 and the cross-flow wind wheel 30 is equal to or less than 1.2R, which not only ensures that the air duct switching plate 20 has a sufficient guiding function, but also ensures that the movable travel of the air duct 14 plate between the first working position and the second working position is not interfered by the cross-flow wind wheel 30.
It will be appreciated that the two embodiments described above may be implemented separately or in combination.
On the basis of the above embodiment, as shown in fig. 2 to 5 and 7, the air duct wall of the air intake section 140 includes a first volute tongue 103 and a second volute tongue 104, the first volute tongue 103 and the second volute tongue 104 are disposed at intervals in the vertical direction, the first volute tongue 103 extends from above the air intake 13 to the cross wind wheel 30, and the second volute tongue 104 extends from below the air intake 13 to the cross wind wheel 30. In this embodiment, the first volute tongue 103 may also form part of the air channel wall of the first air channel segment 141, and the second volute tongue 104 may also form part of the air channel wall of the second air channel segment 142. The air inlet section 140 is formed between the first volute tongue 103 and the second volute tongue 104, so that enough space is provided in the air inlet section 140 to accommodate the heat exchanger 50, preferably, the upper and lower ends of the heat exchanger 50 can be respectively fixed on the first volute tongue 103 and the second volute tongue 104, and are arranged in a curved plate shape which is curved forward, so that the casing 10 is shaped like a curved forward, and the structure is compact, and the appearance is attractive and reasonable. Preferably, a water receiving tray extending forward is disposed at the lower end of the second volute tongue 104, and the water receiving tray is correspondingly located below the arc-shaped heat exchanger 50 for receiving water.
Based on the above embodiment, it can be understood that the distances between the first volute tongue 103 and the second volute tongue 104 and the cross-flow wind wheel 30 determine the ventilation area of the air intake section 140. If the distance between the first volute tongue 103 or the second volute tongue 104 and the through-flow wind wheel 30 is too small, the ventilation area of the air intake section 140 is too small, and the wind resistance is increased, and if the distance between the first volute tongue 103 or the second volute tongue 104 and the through-flow wind wheel 30 is too large, the flow guiding effect of the first volute tongue 103 and the second volute tongue 104 is insufficient. For this reason, referring to fig. 7, the minimum space S1 between the first volute tongue 103 and the rotating shaft 31 is greater than or equal to 1.1R and less than or equal to 1.3R according to the general configuration design of the through-flow air duct 14. And/or, the minimum space S2 between the second volute tongue 104 and the rotating shaft 31 is greater than or equal to 1.1R and less than or equal to 1.3R. In this way, the distance between the cross-flow wind wheel 30 and the first volute tongue 103 and the second volute tongue 104 is reasonable, so that the air can be well guided, and the air inlet of the air duct 14 can be ensured.
In another embodiment, referring to fig. 7, in the axial direction of the through-flow wind wheel 30, an included angle a between a connecting line between the closest point of the first volute tongue 103 and the through-flow wind wheel 30 and the rotating shaft 31 and the vertical direction is greater than or equal to 0 degrees and less than or equal to 50 degrees. The included angle a between the connection line between the closest point of the first volute tongue 103 and the through-flow wind wheel 30 and the rotating shaft 31 and the vertical direction determines the approximate position of the first volute tongue 103, in this embodiment, the first volute tongue 103 is approximately located at the position near the middle of the front side of the casing 10, that is, enough space is reserved for the first air inlet 11, and the size of the air inlet 13 can be ensured as much as possible. And/or, referring to fig. 7, an air inlet angle B of the through-flow wind wheel 30 formed between the first volute tongue 103 and the second volute tongue 104 is greater than or equal to 150 degrees and less than or equal to 180 degrees. In this embodiment, the air inlet angle of the through-flow wind wheel 30 formed between the first volute tongue 103 and the second volute tongue 104 refers to an included angle B formed between the first volute tongue 103 and the connection line between the closest point of the through-flow wind wheel 30 and the rotating shaft 31, and between the second volute tongue 104 and the connection line between the closest point of the through-flow wind wheel 30 and the rotating shaft 31, so that the approximate position of the second volute tongue 104 is determined, and in this embodiment, the second volute tongue 104 is approximately located at the lower position of the front side of the casing 10, that is, enough space is reserved for the second air inlet 12, and the size of the air inlet 13 can be ensured as much as possible.
It is understood that the two embodiments described above may also be implemented separately or in combination with the previous embodiments.
The distance between the air duct wall and the wind wheel of the existing air conditioner is usually a fixed value, only parameters under rated working conditions are usually considered when the heat exchange air duct is initially designed, and the distance between the air duct wall and the wind wheel of the existing air conditioner is usually designed according to the optimal gap with small corresponding working noise when the air conditioner operates in a high-wind gear. However, when the air conditioner is actually used, the time ratio of running in a high-wind gear is not large, so that when the air conditioner runs in other wind-out gears, the corresponding working noise is large. It is known in the art that the spacing between the duct wall and the wind wheel affects the amount of operating noise of the air conditioner.
In order to solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the rotation angle of the wind path switching board 20 in the present embodiment can be adjusted in a small range when the wind path switching board is in the first working position or the second working position. In this embodiment, the air duct switching plate 20 is disposed on the circumferential side of the wind wheel and is disposed to be movable relative to the cross-flow wind wheel 30 in the radial direction of the cross-flow wind wheel 30, so that the distance t between the air duct switching plate 20 and the cross-flow wind wheel 30 in the radial direction varies with the movement of the air duct switching plate. When the indoor unit 100 works under different working conditions, the air duct switching plate 20 can move to a matching position with the through-flow wind wheel 30 at a reasonable distance, so that the working noise value of the indoor unit 100 is relatively smaller. The air conditioning indoor unit 100 provided in this embodiment can more accurately adjust the working noise of the air conditioning indoor unit 100 through the activity control of the air duct switching plate 20, so that the noise values are relatively smaller and the user experience is more comfortable when the air conditioning indoor unit 100 works under different working conditions.
The matching position of the duct switching plate 20 in this embodiment is related to the outlet gear of the air conditioner. Meanwhile, since the air duct 14 has different air duct resistances in the cooling mode and the heating mode, the resistance of the air duct 14 is increased mainly due to the condensed water generated by the heat exchanger 50 in the cooling mode. The matching positions of the corresponding air duct switching plates 20 are also different in the same air outlet gear between the cooling mode and the heating mode. In this embodiment, the printed relationship between the matching position of the air duct switching plate 20 and the different air outlet gears of the air conditioner in the cooling mode and the heating mode is shown in table 1 and table 2:
TABLE 1 printed relation between matching position and air outlet gear in air conditioner cooling mode
TABLE 2 printing relationship between the matching position and the air outlet gear in the cooling and heating mode of the air conditioner
Referring to fig. 5 and fig. 6 in combination, it should be noted that when the matching angle F is 0, the included angle between the tangent line of the air duct switching plate 20 at the rotation axis 21 and the connection line between the rotation axis 21 and the rotation axis 31 is 108 degrees. The other matching angles F are all relative values to the matching angle 0, wherein the positive matching angle F represents the clockwise rotation angle of the air duct switching plate 20 on the basis of 0 degrees, and the negative matching angle F represents the counterclockwise rotation angle of the air duct switching plate 20 on the basis of 0 degrees.
As can be seen from tables 1 and 2, the distance t and/or the matching angle F feed back the matching position of the air duct switching plate 20, and the air duct switching plate 20 has different air volumes at different air outlet gears and corresponds to different matching positions. The noise value of the air duct switching plate 20 at the matching position corresponding to a certain air outlet gear represents the minimum noise value of the air duct switching plate 20 when the air duct switching plate 20 moves to the matching position. And the refrigerating mode and the heating mode have different distances t to reach the minimum noise value under different gear air volumes. The air quantity of the air conditioner can be improved by about 5% -15% under the same noise by adjusting the air duct switching plate 20 according to the printing relation shown in the above tables 1 and 2, and the lower the air outlet gear is, the more obvious the lifting effect is.
In one embodiment, referring to fig. 2 to 5 and 7, the housing 10 has a mounting side 60 for mounting the indoor unit 100, and a front side located in front of the mounting side 60, and the air inlet 13 is disposed on the front side of the housing 10. The front side of the casing 10 is provided with a panel 40 extending in the vertical direction, the panel 40 is openably and closably arranged at the air inlet 13, and the panel 40 has a first open position in which the upper end of the panel 40 is rotatably connected with the casing 10 and the lower end of the panel 40 is separated from the casing 10 in an open state. The panel 40 is in the first open position, such that a lower air inlet channel with an open lower end is formed between the panel 40 and the air inlet 13, so that air flows from the gap between the panel 40 and the lower side of the casing 10, from bottom to top, toward the air inlet 13, and toward the air inlet section 140. The actual air inlet position is far away from the first air inlet 11, and the air inlet direction is downward, so that the phenomenon of air flow short circuit caused by direct flow of low-temperature air flowing out of the first air inlet 11 to the air inlet 13 is avoided. The panel 40 is in the second open position, so that an upper air inlet channel with an open upper end is formed between the panel 40 and the air inlet 13, and air flows from the gap between the panel 40 and the upper side of the casing 10, from top to bottom, toward the air inlet 13, and toward the air inlet section 140. The actual air inlet position is far away from the second air inlet 12, and the air inlet direction is upward, so that the phenomenon of air flow short circuit caused by the direct flow of high-temperature air flowing out of the second air inlet 12 to the air inlet 13 is avoided. And a second opening position in which the lower end of the panel 40 is rotatably connected to the casing 10 and the upper end of the panel 40 is separated from the casing 10.
In this embodiment, the air conditioning indoor unit 100 is in a cooling mode, the bidirectional wind wheel rotates forward, the air duct switching plate 20 is switched to the first working position to form an upper air outlet duct, and the panel 40 is switched to the first opening position. At this time, the indoor air flows from the lower side of the casing 10 along the gap formed between the casing 10 and the panel 40, flows from the lower side to the air inlet section 140, exchanges heat with the heat exchanger 50 in the air inlet section 140, cools down, and then is sent out from the first air port 11 through the upper air outlet duct. The first air port 11 is located above, and the extending direction of the upper air outlet duct is upward forward, so that the low-temperature air is sent to the room in the forward direction, and is sunk in the room, cold air is not directly blown to the human body, the indoor air temperature is uniformly distributed, and the human body feels comfortable. The indoor air flow has the advantages of lower air inlet and upper air outlet, large circulation range, the indoor air is circulated well and the temperature distribution is uniform.
In the heating mode of the indoor unit 100, the bi-directional wind wheel is reversed, the wind channel switching plate 20 is switched to the second working position to form a lower wind outlet channel, and the panel 40 is switched to the second opening position. At this time, the indoor air flows from the upper side of the casing 10 along the gap formed between the casing 10 and the panel 40, flows from top to bottom to the air inlet section 140, exchanges heat through the heat exchanger 50 in the air inlet section 140, heats up, and is sent out from the second air port 12 through the lower air outlet duct. The second air port 12 is located above, and the extending direction of the lower air outlet duct is downward, so that the high-temperature air is sent to the room in the downward direction, and rises in the room, the hot air is not directly blown to the human body, the layering phenomenon of heating is avoided, the indoor air temperature distribution is uniform, and the human body feels comfortable. The indoor air flows into the upper side and flows out from the lower side, the circulation range is wide, the indoor air circulation is good, and the temperature distribution is uniform.
In this embodiment, the air outlet gear of the indoor unit 100 of the air conditioner may be adjusted by adjusting the opening of the panel 40, it may be understood that the larger the opening of the panel 40, the larger the air inlet volume at the air inlet 13, so that the larger the actual heat exchange air volume of the indoor unit 100 of the air conditioner is, and the larger the noise generated by the indoor unit 100 of the air conditioner is, generally, when the indoor unit 100 of the air conditioner is just turned on, the panel 40 needs to be turned on to the maximum opening in order to achieve rapid cooling or heating, and when the indoor temperature reaches or approaches to the preset target temperature value, the opening of the panel may be reduced appropriately to reduce the noise, and according to maintaining the indoor temperature constant, energy saving, indoor noise control and other factors, a suitable panel opening is selected. Referring to fig. 7, the opening degree 4b of the upper end of the panel 40 indicates the opening angle of the panel 40 when the upper end of the panel 40 is rotatably connected to the casing 10 in the cooling mode. The opening degree of the lower end of the panel 40 indicates the opening angle of the panel 40 in the case that the lower end of the panel 40 is rotatably connected to the cabinet 10 in the heating mode.

Based on the above hardware configuration, an embodiment of the control method of the air conditioning indoor unit 100 of the present invention is presented.
Referring to fig. 14, fig. 14 is a flowchart illustrating a control method of an indoor unit 100 of an air conditioner according to a first embodiment of the present invention. The control method of the indoor unit 100 comprises the following steps:
Step S1, acquiring a working mode of the indoor unit 100.
The execution body of the present embodiment may be a control device of the air conditioning indoor unit 100, the control device of the air conditioning indoor unit 100 may be provided with a control method program of the air conditioning indoor unit 100, and may be other devices capable of realizing the same or similar functions, which is not limited in this embodiment, an air conditioner is taken as an example, a controller may be provided in the air conditioner, a control application program of the air conditioning indoor unit 100 is provided on the controller, and the control of the air conditioning indoor unit 100 may be performed according to the control application program of the air conditioning indoor unit 100.
In a specific implementation, the working mode includes a heat exchange mode and/or an air supply mode, where the heat exchange mode and/or the air supply mode can be set by a user, or preset conditions in the execution main body by a manufacturer, so that the execution main body can automatically determine according to multiple factors such as current ambient temperature, humidity, time and the like.
Specifically, the heat exchange mode includes a cooling mode in which the heat exchanger 50 functions as an evaporator or a heating mode in which the heat exchanger 50 functions as a condenser, and the arrangement positions of the first tuyere 11 and the second tuyere 12 are combined. In a specific implementation, when the first air port 11 is disposed above the second air port 12, the air flow is preferably sent out from the first air port 11 above in the cooling mode, and the air flow is preferably sent out from the second air port 12 below in the heating mode. In this way, in the cooling mode, the air conditioning indoor unit 100 uses the first air port 11 as an air outlet channel, the low-temperature air flow sent out by the air duct 14 may be sent out forward and upward from the first air port 11, then the cold air sinks, the cold air does not directly blow the human body, the indoor temperature distribution is uniform, and the human body feels comfortable. In the heating mode, the air conditioning indoor unit 100 uses the second air port 12 as an air outlet channel, and the high-temperature air flow sent out by the air duct 14 can be sent out downwards from the second air port 12, so that the hot air rises and cannot float above the room, the heating layering phenomenon is avoided, the indoor temperature distribution is uniform, and the human body feel comfortable.
The air supply mode includes a non-air mixing mode and an air mixing mode. In the non-air mixing mode, the air flow only flows into the air duct 14 from the air inlet 13, and is sent to the room from the first air inlet 11 or the second air inlet 12 after heat exchange. In the air mixing mode, the air flow in the air duct 14 has different flow directions in the cooling mode and the heating mode. Specifically, in the cooling mode, the fan assembly 301 drives the mixed air entering from the second air inlet 12 and the heat exchange air entering from the air inlet section 140 to flow to the fan assembly 301 together, and the mixed air is fully stirred and mixed by the fan assembly 301 and then is sent out from the first air inlet 11. In the heating mode, the fan assembly 301 drives the mixed air entering from the first air inlet 11 and the heat exchange air entering from the air inlet section 140 to flow to the fan assembly 301 together, and the mixed air is fully stirred and mixed by the fan assembly 301 and then is sent out from the second air inlet 12. So, make the indoor air through wind channel 14 heat transfer and mix the indoor not heat transfer air current together supply air, can enough reduce the air conditioner indoor set 100 air supply temperature and the difference in temperature of room temperature for indoor air circulation, reduce heating temperature rise or refrigeration temperature fall time, promote human travelling comfort, can utilize again fan subassembly 301 with heat transfer air current and not heat transfer air current intensive mixing for air conditioner indoor set 100 air supply temperature is even, avoids the temperature layering, further promotes human travelling comfort.

In this step, the first air port 11 and the second air port 12 can be selectively opened and closed by controlling the movement of the first cover plate 51 and the second cover plate 52 according to the heat exchange mode and the air mixing mode of the air conditioning indoor unit 100. In a specific implementation, if only cooling is performed and no air mixing is performed, that is, in the cooling non-air mixing mode, the first cover plate 51 may be controlled to be opened, the second cover plate 52 may be closed, and the opening degree of the first cover plate 51 may be adjusted to adjust the air supply direction of the first air port 11. If the air is mixed at the same time in the cooling mode, that is, in the cooling air mixing mode, the second cover plate 52 needs to be opened, so that a part of indoor air flow can be sent out through the first air port 11 after being uniformly mixed with the heat exchange air flow at the fan assembly 301 without passing through the heat exchanger 50, the opening degree of the second cover plate 52 can be adjusted, and the air mixing volume of the air conditioner is also adjusted.
If only heating is performed and air mixing is not performed, that is, the heating air mixing mode is a heating air mixing mode, the second cover plate 52 can be controlled to be opened, the first cover plate 51 is closed, and the opening degree of the second cover plate 52 can be adjusted to adjust the air supply direction of the second air port 12. If the air is mixed at the same time in the heating mode, the first cover plate 51 is further required to be opened, so that a part of indoor air flow is not mixed uniformly with the heat exchange air flow at the fan assembly 301 without passing through the heat exchanger 50, and then the air can be sent out from the second air port 12, the opening degree of the first cover plate 51 can be adjusted, and the air mixing quantity of the air conditioner is also adjusted.

In an embodiment, a sixth embodiment of a control method of an air conditioning indoor unit 100 according to the present invention is presented based on the first embodiment.
In a sixth embodiment, the step S1 includes:
And acquiring a heat exchange mode and an air outlet gear of the air conditioner indoor unit.
In this step, the heat exchange mode may be set by a user, or may be preset by a manufacturer in the execution body, so that the execution body may be automatically determined according to multiple factors such as the current ambient temperature, humidity, time, and the like. Specifically, the heat exchange mode includes a cooling mode in which the heat exchanger 50 functions as an evaporator or a heating mode in which the heat exchanger 50 functions as a condenser. In a specific implementation, the air volumes of different air outlet gears can be preset by manufacturers of the indoor units 100 of the air conditioner, and the different air outlet gears correspond to different air volumes. In this embodiment, the air outlet gear includes an ultra-high gear, a medium gear, a low gear and a mute gear in which the air volume is sequentially reduced. When the air conditioning indoor unit 100 is in use, the air outlet gear may be set automatically by the air conditioning indoor unit 100 according to environmental parameters, or may be selected by a user.
The step S1 includes:
and obtaining the matching position of the air duct switching plate according to the mapping relation between the air outlet gear corresponding to the heat exchange mode and the matching position.
It should be noted that, at the matching position corresponding to a certain air outlet gear of the air duct switching board 20, when the air duct switching board 20 moves to the matching position, the noise value is smaller in the air outlet gear. In a specific implementation, the matching positions corresponding to different air outlet gears may be preset by a manufacturer before the air conditioner indoor unit 100 leaves the factory. The noise value of the air conditioning indoor unit 100 is within a preset range, and the specific range of the preset range is not limited, and the specific preset range is not greater than the noise value of the air conditioning indoor unit 100 in the air outlet gear when the air duct switching plate 20 is fixedly arranged.
Note that, the matching position of the air duct switching plate 20 is related to the outlet gear of the indoor unit 100. Meanwhile, since the air duct 14 has different air duct resistances in the cooling mode and the heating mode, the resistance of the air duct 14 is increased mainly due to the condensed water generated by the heat exchanger 50 in the cooling mode. The matching positions of the corresponding air duct switching plates 20 are also different in the same air outlet gear between the cooling mode and the heating mode. In a specific implementation, the printed relationship between the matching position of the air duct switching board 20 and the different air outlet gear positions of the indoor unit 100 in the cooling mode and the heating mode may be as shown in table 1 and table 2. It should be noted that, the air duct switching plate 20 in this embodiment is not limited to be rotatably mounted, and in other embodiments, the corresponding matching positions of the air duct switching plate 20 in different heat exchange modes and air outlet gears may be set according to other manners set by the manufacturer.
And controlling the air duct switching plate to move to the matching position.
In a specific implementation, when the indoor unit 100 of the air conditioner operates in a certain heat exchange mode and in an air outlet gear, the air duct switching plate 20 may be controlled to move to a corresponding switching angle and/or a matching position where the minimum distance t between the air duct switching plate 20 and the wind wheel meets the requirement of the distance t in table 1 according to the above tables 1 and 2.
In this embodiment, since the air duct switching plate 20 and the wind wheel are movably disposed relatively, the distance t between the air duct switching plate 20 and the wind wheel in the radial direction varies with the movement of the air duct switching plate. When the indoor unit 100 of the air conditioner works in different air outlet gears and heat exchange modes, the air duct switching plate 20 can be moved to a matching position with a reasonable distance between the wind wheels, so that the working noise value of the indoor unit 100 of the air conditioner is relatively smaller. The air conditioning indoor unit 100 provided in this embodiment can more accurately adjust the working noise of the air conditioning indoor unit 100 by controlling the activity of the air duct switching plate 20, so that the noise value is relatively reduced and the user experience is more comfortable when the air conditioning indoor unit 100 operates in different air outlet gears.
In an embodiment, a seventh embodiment of the control method of the air conditioning indoor unit 100 according to the present invention is presented based on the sixth embodiment.
In a seventh embodiment, the step of obtaining the matching position of the air duct switching plate according to the mapping relationship between the air outlet gear corresponding to the heat exchange mode and the matching position includes:
and obtaining the matching angle of the air duct switching plate according to the mapping relation between the air outlet gear corresponding to the heat exchange mode and the matching angle.
In an embodiment, the matching position of the air duct switching plate 20 and the printed relation between the air conditioner indoor unit 100 and different air outlet gears in the cooling mode and the heating mode may be as shown in table 1 and table 2 above. In a specific implementation, the matching angle F of the air duct switching plate 20 may be obtained according to the mapping relationship between the air outlet gear and the matching angle shown in the foregoing tables 1 and 2. In other embodiments, the matching positions of the air duct switching plate 20 corresponding to different heat exchange modes and air outlet gears can be set according to other manners set by the manufacturer.
The step of controlling the air duct switching plate to move to the matching position comprises the following steps:
determining a target switching angle according to the difference between the current angle of the air channel switching plate and the matching angle
In this step, the current angle may be one of the matching angles F or a value different from the matching angle F, but an angle value capable of feeding back the actual rotation position of the duct switching plate 20 may be measured based on the same reference.
The difference between the current angle and the matching angle F is a target switching angle, when the difference is positive, the air duct switching plate 20 can rotate clockwise from the current angle by the target switching angle, and when the difference is negative, the air duct switching plate 20 can rotate anticlockwise from the current angle by the target switching angle, so that the matching angle F can be achieved.
And controlling the air duct switching plate to rotate through the target switching angle.
In this step, the duct switching plate 20 can be moved to the matching position by controlling the duct switching plate 20 to rotate through the target switching angle.
In this embodiment, the matching position of the air duct switching plate 20 is determined according to two conditions of the heat exchange mode and different air outlet gears of the air conditioner indoor unit 100, and the difference of the air duct resistance of the air duct 14 in the cooling mode and the heating mode is considered, so that the regulation and control are more accurate, and the corresponding air conditioner indoor unit 100 has lower working noise. And according to the moving mode of the air channel switching plate 20, the air channel switching plate 20 is controlled to rotate through the target switching angle, so that the air channel switching plate 20 can be switched to the corresponding matching position, and the operation is simple and convenient.
