Specifically, the specific type of the air conditioner 100 according to the embodiment of the first aspect of the present invention is not limited, and may be, for example, a split type indoor air conditioner, an integrated air conditioner, or the like. As shown in fig. 1, the air conditioner 100 may include a housing 1, an air outlet 101 is formed on the housing 1, the air outlet 101 includes a front air outlet 1011 and a side air outlet 1012, the front air outlet 1011 is formed on a front surface 111 of the housing 1, and the side air outlet 1012 is formed on a side surface 121 of the housing 1. It should be noted that, in the specific example shown in fig. 6, the structure of the housing 1 is not limited, for example, the housing 1 may include a front panel 11, a rear case 12, a top cover 14, a base 13, and the like, the front panel 11 defines the front surface 111 of the housing 1, the rear case 12 may define the rear surface 122 and left and right side surfaces 121 of the housing 1, and the left and right side surfaces 121 are respectively connected to two sides between the front surface 111 and the rear surface 122, where the front surface 111, the rear surface 122, and the side surfaces 121 are not limited to a plane, and may be curved surfaces, and the like.
In addition, it should be noted that the "front" as described herein refers to the side of the air conditioner 100 facing the user when the user stands on the front side of the air conditioner 100 to feel wind, the side of the air conditioner 100 facing away from the user is "rear", the side of the air conditioner 100 located on the left hand side of the user is "left", and the side of the air conditioner 100 located on the right hand side of the user is "right".
As shown in fig. 1 and 4, the air conditioner 100 may further include an air duct member 2, the air duct member 2 is disposed in the housing 1, and the air duct member 2 defines a first air duct 201 and a second air duct 202, the first air duct 201 is communicated with both the front air outlet 1011 and the side air outlet 1012, so that air flow in the first air duct 201 can be respectively delivered through the side air outlet 1012 and the front air outlet 1011, the second air duct 202 is disposed in the first air duct 201, and the second air duct 202 is communicated with the front air outlet 1011, so that air flow in the second air duct 202 can be delivered through the front air outlet 1011. The front end of the second air duct 202 may be flush with the front end of the first air duct 201 to be respectively communicated with the front air outlet 1011, and the front end of the second air duct 202 may also be located at the rear side of the front end of the first air duct 201, so that the front end of the second air duct 202 may also be communicated with the first air duct 201 first and then communicated with the front air outlet 1011 through the first air duct 201.
As shown in fig. 1 and 4, the air conditioner 100 may further include a first fan assembly 3, where the first fan assembly 3 is disposed in the first air duct 201 and below the second air duct 202, that is, when the first fan assembly 3 is operated, the first air duct 201 may be enabled to suck air flow, and have the capability of enabling the first air duct 201 to blow air outwards from the front air outlet 1011 and the side air outlet 1012, but whether the front air outlet 1011 can blow air outwards at this time depends on whether the front air outlet 1011 presents an open state at this time, and whether the side air outlet 1012 can blow air outwards at this time depends on whether the side air outlet 1012 presents an open state at this time.
In this way, when the first air duct 201 sends air outwards from the front air outlet 1011, a negative pressure is formed in the second air duct 202, so that the second air duct 202 can also suck air flow and also send air outwards from the front air outlet 1011, thereby improving the air volume of the front air outlet 1011; when the first air duct 201 simultaneously sends air from the front air outlet 1011 and the side air outlet 1012, the overall air-sending range of the air conditioner 100 can be increased, and the experience requirements of more users can be satisfied. Moreover, since the first fan assembly 3 is positioned below the second air duct 202, the thickness of the air conditioner 100 in the front-rear direction as a whole can be reduced, so that the air conditioner 100 can be made thin and slim, and the occupied space of the air conditioner 100 can be reduced.
Therefore, according to the air conditioner 100 of the embodiment of the invention, since the air outlet 101 includes the front air outlet 1011 and the side air outlet 1012, the air supply range of the whole air conditioner 100 can be increased, and the user experience is improved.
In some embodiments of the present invention, as shown in fig. 1 and 4, the air conditioner 100 may further include: and the second fan assembly 4, the second fan assembly 4 is located above the first fan assembly 3, and the second fan assembly 4 is arranged in the second air duct 202, that is, when the second fan assembly 4 works, the second air duct 202 can suck air flow, and the second air duct 202 has the capability of blowing air outwards from the front air outlet 1011, but whether the front air outlet 1011 can blow air outwards at this time or not depends on whether the front air outlet 1011 is in an open state at this time or not. Thus, when the first fan assembly 3 does not work, but the second fan assembly 4 works, the effect of front air supply can be realized; and when both the first fan assembly 3 and the second fan assembly 4 are operated, the front air supply effect can be further increased.
In some embodiments of the present invention, as shown in fig. 1 and 4, the second wind tunnel 202 extends in a straight line in the front-rear direction, and the second fan assembly 4 is disposed right behind the front air outlet 1011 and includes the axial flow wind wheel 41. Therefore, the second air duct 202 is simple in structure, convenient to construct, short in length, small in flow loss, good in air supply effect, simple in structure of the second fan assembly 4 and low in production cost. In addition, it should be noted that the second fan assembly 4 may further include, in addition to the axial flow wind wheel 41, a second motor 42 that drives the axial flow wind wheel 41 to rotate, and in addition, the number of the axial flow wind wheels 41 included in the second fan assembly 4 is not limited, and may be one or more, and in addition, the second fan assembly 4 may further include other types of wind wheels besides the axial flow wind wheel 41, for example, may further include a diagonal flow wind wheel and the like.
Of course, the present invention is not limited thereto, in other embodiments of the present invention, the second air duct 202 may also extend along a curve, and the second fan assembly 4 may not be located right behind the front air outlet 1011, and at this time, the second fan assembly 4 may select an appropriate wind wheel according to the specific shape of the second air duct 202 and the distance between the second air duct and the front air outlet 1011, which is not described herein.
In some embodiments of the present invention, as shown in fig. 4, the first fan assembly 3 is located below the air outlet 101 and includes the centrifugal wind wheel 31, that is, the first fan assembly 3 is located below the front air outlet 1011 and below the side air outlet 1012, and when the centrifugal wind wheel 31 is axially air-inlet and radially air-outlet, the axis of the centrifugal wind wheel 31 is arranged in the horizontal direction or the substantially horizontal direction, the centrifugal wind wheel 31 can send the air flow entering in the transverse direction upwards in the vertical direction to reach the side air outlet 1012 and the front air outlet 1011. Thereby, normal air supply of the first air duct 201 can be realized, and the first fan assembly 3 is simple in construction and low in production cost. In addition, since the heights of the front air outlet 1011 and the side air outlet 1012 are higher, the air conditioner 100 can meet the remote air supply requirement whether it is front air outlet or side air outlet.
In addition, the first fan assembly 3 may further include, in addition to the centrifugal wind wheel 31, a first motor 32 for driving the centrifugal wind wheel 31 to rotate, and in addition, the number of the centrifugal wind wheels 31 included in the first fan assembly 3 is not limited, and may be one or more, and in addition, the first fan assembly 3 may further include, in addition to the centrifugal wind wheel 31, other types of wind wheels, for example, an axial flow wind wheel or an oblique flow wind wheel located on the wind outlet side of the centrifugal wind wheel 31, and the like.
In some embodiments of the present invention, as shown in fig. 1-3, both the front air outlet 1011 and the side air outlet 1012 may be located above the height centerline L1 of the housing 1. Therefore, the heights of the front air outlet 1011 and the side air outlet 1012 are higher, so that the air conditioner 100 can meet the requirement of long-distance air supply whether the front air outlet or the side air outlet.
In some embodiments of the present invention, as shown in fig. 1-3, the distance between the height centerline L3 of the side air outlet 1012 and the height centerline L2 of the front air outlet 1011 is less than 1/2 of the height H of the front air outlet 1011. By this, the height difference between the side air outlet 1012 and the front air outlet 1011 is small, so that the configuration of the first air duct 201 can be simplified, so that the first fan assembly 3 can perform front air outlet and side air outlet in the vicinity of the almost same height.
In some embodiments of the present invention, as shown in fig. 5 to 6, side air outlets 1012 are formed on the side surfaces 121 on both sides of the casing 1, that is, side air outlets 1012 (denoted as left air outlet a 1) are formed on the side surface 121 on the left side of the casing 1, and side air outlets 1012 (denoted as right air outlet a 2) are also formed on the side surface 121 on the right side of the casing 1, that is, the air conditioner 100 can supply air to both left and right sides.

Of course, the present invention is not limited thereto, and for example, in other embodiments of the present invention, the side air outlet 1012 may be provided only at one side of the air conditioner 100.
Thus, by adding the side air outlets 1012 on both sides of the casing 1, the front side, the left side and the right side of the air conditioner 100 can be discharged, so that the whole air supply range of the air conditioner 100 can be further improved. In addition, when the air conditioner 100 has the front air outlet 1011, the left air outlet a1 and the right air outlet a2, the air conditioner 100 can have seven air outlet modes as follows, thereby meeting different practical requirements and having better energy saving effect.

The air conditioner 100 according to the embodiment of the second aspect of the present invention may be designed with reference to the air conditioner 100 according to the first aspect of the present invention, that is, as long as the air conditioner 100 according to the first aspect of the present invention is provided with the above features, all the air conditioner 100 according to the embodiment of the second aspect may be used as the air conditioner 100 according to the embodiment of the second aspect, and therefore, like parts are given like reference numerals. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the air conditioner 100 according to the second aspect of the present invention may be configured in other shapes conforming to the structural features of the upper section, and will not be described herein.
According to the air conditioner 100 of the second aspect of the embodiment of the present invention, the air conditioner 100 has at least one of an intelligent quick temperature adjusting mode, an intelligent remote air supplying mode, and an intelligent partition air supplying mode, and a control method of each mode is described below, respectively.
(1) Intelligent fast temperature regulation mode
As shown in fig. 12, after the intelligent rapid temperature adjustment mode is started, the control method includes the steps of: whether the absolute value of the difference between the ambient temperature (i.e., the air temperature outside the air conditioner 100) and the temperature set by the user is greater than a preset difference (for example, the preset difference may be 5-10 ℃ but is not limited thereto) is determined, if so, it is indicated that the difference between the current indoor temperature and the set temperature is greater, and at this time, the front opening/closing door 8 is controlled to open the front air outlet 1011, the left air deflector c1 is controlled to open the left air outlet a1, the right air deflector c2 is controlled to open the right air outlet a2, and the first fan assembly 3 and the second fan assembly 4 all operate.
That is, in the intelligent rapid temperature adjustment mode, whether the difference between the ambient temperature and the set temperature is large is judged, if the difference is large, the air outlets 101 on the front side and the two sides are opened, and meanwhile, the two fan assemblies are controlled to work, so that the indoor air circulation amount is increased, and the purpose of rapid and uniform temperature adjustment is achieved.
In a preferred example of the present mode, the second fan assembly 4 may include an axial flow wind wheel 41 and a second motor 42, and the first fan assembly 3 may include a centrifugal wind wheel 31 and a first motor 32, and after the intelligent rapid temperature adjustment mode is started, the rotation speed of the second motor 42 may be controlled to be 1000rpm to 1100rpm, and the rotation speed of the first motor 32 may be controlled to be 500rpm to 550rpm (but the present invention is not limited thereto). Therefore, the two fan assemblies can be used for strongly supplying air, so that the indoor air circulation quantity can be increased more effectively, and the aim of quickly and uniformly regulating temperature is fulfilled.
(2) Regarding intelligent remote air supply mode
As shown in fig. 13, after the intelligent remote air supply mode is started, the control method includes the steps of: judging whether the distance between the object and the air conditioner 100 is smaller than the preset distance (for example, the preset distance may be 8 m-10 m, but not limited to this), if not, it indicates that the indoor users are far away from the air conditioner 100, at this time, the front switch door 8 may be controlled to open the front air outlet 1011, the left air deflector c1 may be controlled to close the left air outlet a1, the right air deflector c2 may be controlled to close the right air outlet a2, and the first fan assembly 3 and the second fan assembly 4 may all operate. Here, the target means a living person, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the target may be set as another object or living body as needed.
That is, in the intelligent remote air supply mode, when detecting that all people in the room are far away from the air conditioner, the front air outlet 101 is opened, the two air outlets 101 are closed, and the two fan assemblies are controlled to work simultaneously, so that the purpose of ultra-remote air supply and temperature regulation can be achieved, and the experience of remote users is met.
In a preferred example of the present mode, the second fan assembly 4 may include an axial flow wind wheel 41 and a second motor 42, and the first fan assembly 3 may include a centrifugal wind wheel 31 and a first motor 32, and after the intelligent remote air supply mode is started, the rotation speed of the second motor 42 may be controlled to be 1000rpm to 1100rpm and the rotation speed of the first motor 32 may be controlled to be 500rpm to 550rpm (but the present invention is not limited thereto). Therefore, the two fan assemblies can be used for forcibly blowing air, so that the blowing distance can be effectively prolonged, and the effect of ultra-long-distance blowing is achieved.
(3) Regarding intelligent zoned air supply mode
As shown in fig. 14, after the intelligent partition air supply mode is started, the control method includes at least one of the following three steps (i.e., step a, step B, and step C), where it should be noted that, when the control method includes at least two of the foregoing steps a, step B, and step C at the same time, the steps included at the same time may be performed synchronously.
Step A: judging whether a target object exists in the left setting area Z1, if so, controlling the left air deflector c1 to open the left air outlet a1 and the first fan assembly 3 to work, and if not, controlling the left air deflector c1 to close the left air outlet a1. Thus, when the left set area Z1 has a user, the left air outlet a1 can be controlled to discharge air, and when the left set area Z1 does not have a user, the left air outlet a1 can be controlled to stop discharging air. In addition, in the present step a, when the left air deflector c1 is controlled to close the left air outlet a1, whether to shut down or slow down the first fan assembly 3 depends on whether the front air outlet 1011 and the right air outlet a2 are out or not, if at least one of the front air outlet 1011 and the right air outlet a2 is out, the first fan assembly 3 does not need to be adjusted, and if both the front air outlet 1011 and the right air outlet a2 are closed, the first fan assembly 3 may be shut down or slow down.
And (B) step (B): judging whether a target object exists in the right setting area Z2, if so, controlling the right air deflector c2 to open the right air outlet a2 and the first fan assembly 3 to work, and if not, controlling the right air deflector c2 to close the right air outlet a2. Thus, when the right setting area Z2 has a user, the air outlet of the right air outlet a2 can be controlled, and when the right setting area Z2 does not have a user, the air outlet of the right air outlet a2 can be controlled to stop. In addition, in the present step B, when the right air deflector c2 is controlled to close the right air outlet a2, whether to shut down or slow down the first fan assembly 3 depends on whether the front air outlet 1011 and the left air outlet a1 are out or not, if at least one of the front air outlet 1011 and the left air outlet a1 is out, the first fan assembly 3 does not need to be adjusted, and if both the front air outlet 1011 and the left air outlet a1 are closed, the first fan assembly 3 may be shut down or slow down.
Step C: whether the target object exists in the middle setting area Z3 is judged, if yes, the front opening and closing door 8 is controlled to open at least one of the front air outlet 1011, the first fan assembly 3 and the second fan assembly 4 to work, and if no, the front opening and closing door 8 is controlled to close the front air outlet 1011. Thus, when the middle setting area Z3 has a user, the front air outlet 1011 can be controlled to output air, and when the middle setting area Z3 does not have a user, the front air outlet 1011 can be controlled to stop outputting air. In addition, in this step C, when the front opening and closing door 8 is controlled to close the front air outlet 1011, the second fan assembly 4 may be simultaneously closed to reduce the wind resistance, but whether the first fan assembly 3 is turned off or down at this time depends on whether the left air outlet a1 and the right air outlet a2 are air-out at this time, if at least one of the left air outlet a1 and the right air outlet a2 is air-out at this time, the first fan assembly 3 is not required to be adjusted, and if both the left air outlet a1 and the right air outlet a2 are closed, the first fan assembly 3 may be turned off or down.
Therefore, under the intelligent partition air supply mode, the partition air supply effect can be realized, the fixed-point (point-to-point) air supply temperature adjustment is achieved, and the energy is saved. For example, when it is detected that a user is on both sides of the air conditioner 100 in a room, the middle air outlets 101 may be closed, and the air outlets 101 on both sides may be opened, so that the fixed-point (point-to-point) air supply temperature adjustment may be achieved, and energy saving may be achieved.
In a preferred example in this mode, as shown in fig. 15, each set area may be divided as follows: the center point o of the air conditioner 100 serves as a first vertical surface S1 extending straight ahead, the center point o of the air conditioner 100 serves as a second vertical surface S2 extending straight left, the center point o of the air conditioner 100 serves as a third vertical surface S3 extending straight ahead to the left, the center point o of the air conditioner 100 serves as a fourth vertical surface S4 extending straight right, the center point o of the air conditioner 100 serves as a fifth vertical surface S5 extending straight ahead to the right, wherein a region between the second vertical surface S2 and the third vertical surface S3 is a left set region Z1, a region between the third vertical surface S3 and the fifth vertical surface S5 is a middle set region Z3, and a region between the fourth vertical surface S4 and the fifth vertical surface S5 is a right set region Z2. Therefore, the partition air supply device has a good partition air supply effect. The included angle between the third vertical surface S3 and the first vertical surface S1 may be 40 ° to 50 °, for example, 40 °, 45 °, 50 °, etc., and the included angle between the fifth vertical surface S5 and the first vertical surface S1 may be 40 ° to 50 °, for example, 40 °, 45 °, 50 °, etc. Of course, it is not limited thereto.
(4) About intelligent anti-direct blowing
As shown in fig. 16, the effect of intelligent direct blowing prevention may be achieved in the intelligent partition air supply mode, however, it should be noted that the intelligent partition air supply mode according to the embodiment of the invention may not include the direct blowing prevention control step. The control step of preventing the direct blowing is specifically as follows.
In step a, when it is determined that the target object exists in the left setting area Z1, it is then determined whether or not the target object having a height lower than the set height (for example, the set height may be 1.3m to 1.5m, for example, but not limited to 1.4 m) exists in the left setting area Z1, and if so, the left air deflector c1 is controlled to close the left air outlet a1, and if not, the left air deflector c1 is controlled to open the left air outlet a1 and the first fan assembly 3 is operated.
In step B, when it is determined that the target object exists in the right setting area Z2, it is then determined whether or not the target object having a height lower than the set height (for example, the set height may be 1.3m to 1.5m, for example, 1.4m, but not limited thereto) exists in the right setting area Z2, and if so, the right air deflector c2 is controlled to close the right air outlet a2, and if not, the right air deflector c2 is controlled to open the right air outlet a2 and the first fan assembly 3 is operated;
in step C, when it is determined that the target object exists in the intermediate setting area Z3, it is then determined whether or not the target object having a height lower than the set height (for example, the set height may be 1.3m to 1.5m, for example, 1.4m, but not limited thereto) exists in the intermediate setting area Z3, and if so, the front opening/closing door 8 is controlled to close the front air outlet 1011, and if not, the front opening/closing door 8 is controlled to open at least one of the front air outlet 1011, the first fan assembly 3, and the second fan assembly 4.
That is, when a target object with a low height is found in a certain set area, the target object is determined to be a child, and in order to avoid the air flow from directly blowing the child, the air supply of the air outlet 101 in the area is stopped, so that the effect of preventing the child from directly blowing can be achieved, and particularly, the effect of preventing the child from directly blowing cold air can be achieved in the refrigerating mode.
