When the air volume of the air outlet 311 arranged corresponding to the movable air duct wall assembly needs to be increased and the two air outlets 311 are simultaneously exhausted, the driving device 321 drives the movable rod to move upwards in the sliding groove 361 in the drawing, in the process that the movable rod moves upwards, the rolling shaft assembly 35 correspondingly retracts the flexible roller shutter 34 and keeps the flexible roller shutter 34 tensioned, so that the flexible roller shutter 34 opens the corresponding air outlet 311 to simultaneously exhaust the air from the two air outlets 311, and the driving device 321 drives the movable rod to be capable of stopping at any position of the sliding groove 361 and keeping the fixed opening size, so that the air outlet air volume of the corresponding air outlet 311 is kept, and the adjustment and control of the air volume of the corresponding air outlet 311 can be realized.

Therefore, in the air conditioner 1 of the present invention, in the heating or cooling mode, according to the actual application requirement, multiple air outlet modes can be implemented, such as the lower air outlet 311 shown in fig. 1 for air outlet and the annular air outlet, such as the annular air outlet shown in fig. 10, and the lower air outlet 311 shown in fig. 11 for vertical air outlet, or the lower fixed-inclination air outlet and the air sweeping controlled by the air guide plate assembly 23 only, so that the use of the user is more comfortable, and more various use requirements are met.

Specifically, when the mobile driving component drives one end of the flexible roller shutter 34 to move to unfold the flexible roller shutter 34, the area of the flexible roller shutter 34 shielding the air outlet 311 is increased, so as to reduce the air output of the air outlet 311, and when the mobile driving component drives the flexible roller shutter 34 to unfold, the inclination angle formed by the surface of the flexible roller shutter and the fixed air duct wall 31 is changed, that is, the inclination angle of the air guide inner wall is changed, so as to reduce the air flow guided to the air outlet 311;

on the contrary, when the moving driving component drives one end of the flexible rolling curtain 34 to move so as to make the flexible rolling curtain 34 contract, the area of the flexible rolling curtain 34 shielded by the air outlet 311 is reduced, so that the air output of the air outlet 311 is increased, and the inclination angle formed by the surface of the flexible rolling curtain 34 and the fixed air duct wall 31 is changed, that is, the inclination angle of the inner wall of the air guide is changed, so as to increase the air flow guided to the air outlet 311.

The working principle of this embodiment differs from that of embodiment 3 in that:

in the process of driving the expansion plate 3213 to expand or contract, on one hand, the flexible roller shutter 34 can be expanded or contracted, and the flexible roller shutter 34 guides the airflow; on the other hand, the driving expansion plate 3213 itself can shield the air outlet 311, so as to control the size of the opening of the air outlet 311, and therefore, the flexible roller shutter 34 and the driving expansion plate 3213 are matched to guide the air flow and adjust the size of the opening of the corresponding air outlet 311.

Specifically, when the movement driving component drives the telescopic board component 37 to move and expand the telescopic board component 37, similar to a flexible roller shutter, after the telescopic board component 37 is expanded, the area for shielding the air outlet 311 is increased, so that the opening value of the air outlet 311 is reduced, that is, the air output of the air outlet 311 is reduced, and the inclination angle formed by the surface of the telescopic board component 37 and the fixed air duct wall 31 is changed, that is, the inclination angle of the air guide inner wall is changed, so that the air flow guided to the air outlet 311 is reduced;

on the contrary, when the movement driving component drives the expansion board component 37 to move and drives the expansion board component 37 to contract, the area shielding the air outlet 311 is reduced, so that the opening value of the air outlet 311 is increased, that is, the air output of the air outlet 311 is increased, and the inclination angle formed by the surface of the expansion board component 37 and the fixed air duct wall 31 is changed, that is, the inclination angle of the inner air guiding wall is changed, so that the air flow guided to the air outlet 311 is increased.
