In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the double cross-flow air-conditioning indoor unit 20 is generally provided with two cross-flow fans, the two cross-flow fans are arranged back to back, and the two cross-flow fans are respectively provided with cross-flow air ducts, that is, a first cross-flow air duct 21 and a second cross-flow air duct 22, correspondingly, an air inlet of the double cross-flow air-conditioning indoor unit 20 is arranged at the rear portion of the whole unit, and an air outlet 23 is located at the front portion of the whole unit, that is, the air outlet 23 of the first cross-flow air duct 21 and the second cross-flow air duct 22. The air guide mechanism 10 of the embodiment of the present disclosure can be used in the above-mentioned dual through-flow air-conditioning indoor unit 20, and is disposed at the air outlet 23 of the first through-flow air duct 21 and the second through-flow air duct 22, that is, the dual through-flow air-conditioning indoor unit 20 includes two above-mentioned air guide mechanisms 10, and can provide different air supply modes in cooperation with the profile design of the through-flow air ducts.
The embodiment of the present disclosure provides an air guiding mechanism 10, as shown in fig. 1 to 2.
In some embodiments, the air guiding mechanism 10 is used for a dual cross-flow air conditioner indoor unit 20, and includes: the air conditioner indoor unit comprises a first fixed air deflector 11, a second fixed air deflector 12 and a third rotary air deflector 13, wherein the first fixed air deflector 11 is fixedly arranged in a through-flow air duct of an air conditioner indoor unit 20; the second fixed air deflector 12 is fixedly arranged in the through-flow air duct; the third rotary air deflector 13 is arranged between the first fixed air deflector 11 and the second fixed air deflector 12; the first fixed air deflector 11 and the second fixed air deflector 12 divide the through-flow air duct into a first channel, a second channel and a third channel in sequence, and the third rotary air deflector 13 is used for rotating along a central axis in the vertical direction of the third rotary air deflector to open or close the second channel.
The central axis may be a virtual rotation axis of the third rotating air guiding plate 13 in the vertical direction, and may also be a solid rotation axis 132 structure disposed at an end of the third rotating air guiding plate 13, and the embodiment of the present disclosure is not specifically limited herein,
in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the air guiding mechanism 10 includes a first fixed air deflector 11, a second fixed air deflector 12, and a third rotating air deflector 13, where the first fixed air deflector 11 and the second fixed air deflector 12 are fixedly disposed in the through-flow air duct and divide the through-flow air duct into three air supply channels, that is, a first channel, a second channel, and an electric channel, and the third rotating air deflector 13 can rotate along its own central axis to control the opening and closing of the middle second channel. Under the condition that the second channel is closed, the airflow in the indoor air-conditioning unit 20 can only be blown out from the channels on both sides, which is equivalent to reducing the air outlet area of the indoor air-conditioning unit 20, reducing the air volume, and making the blown airflow softer. Under the condition that the second channel is opened, the air-conditioning indoor unit 20 can be in a left-right air swinging state through the rotation of the third rotating air guide plate 13, so that an air swinging working mode is provided, the use requirements of different users can be met, and the experience of the users is enhanced.
The left air outlet range and the right air outlet range of the existing double-through-flow air conditioner are wide, the air supply mode is single, and in order to meet different air supply requirements of users, the air guide mechanism 10 can provide an air supply mode with soft air outlet. The third rotating air deflector 13 of the air guiding mechanism 10 is arranged in the second channel, and the second channel can be closed by the rotation of the third rotating air deflector 13, so that the air outlet area of the indoor unit 20 of the air conditioner can be reduced, the air volume sent out from the indoor unit 20 of the air conditioner is reduced, the air speed is reduced, the wind sense is soft, and the use experience of a user is improved.
Alternatively, the first fixed air deflector 11 and the second fixed air deflector 12 are arranged side by side at a position close to the air outlet 23 of the indoor unit 20 of the air conditioner.
The first fixed air deflector 11 and the second fixed air deflector 12 are arranged side by side, wherein the side by side arrangement means that the two fixed air deflectors are arranged on a same line in the left and right direction of the horizontal direction, as shown in the cross-sectional views of the air-conditioning indoor unit in fig. 5 and 6. Therefore, three independent channels are formed in the through-flow air channel for guiding air.
The first fixed air deflector 11 and the second fixed air deflector 12 are arranged at positions close to the air outlet 23, so that the purposes of reducing the air outlet area and reducing the air speed can be achieved by closing the second channel. If the first fixed air deflector 11 and the second fixed air deflector 12 are disposed at positions close to the inside of the through-flow air duct, when the second air duct is closed, the air flow in the indoor air-conditioning unit 20 will be converged together in the through-flow air duct again after passing through the two fixed air deflectors, and the air flow is blown out of the indoor air-conditioning unit 20 at a high air speed, which is not favorable for soft air outlet and also affects the air outlet effect of convergence at two sides of the indoor air-conditioning unit 20. The two-side convergence is an air supply method for reducing the width of left and right air outlet of the indoor unit 20 of the double cross-flow air conditioner and converging air flow near the two air outlets 23.
Optionally, the first and second fixed air deflectors 11 and 12 are both arc-shaped.
It can be understood that the first fixed air deflector 11 and the second fixed air deflector 12 are both arc-shaped, which is beneficial for blowing out the air flow in the indoor unit 20 of the air conditioner along the arc-shaped surfaces of the first air deflector and the second air deflector, so as to cooperate with the through-flow air duct to supply air on both sides of the indoor unit 20 of the air conditioner in a converging manner.
It is understood that the first fixed air deflector 11 is curved, and it is understood that the first fixed air deflector 11 is also curved, and has a cross-sectional shape similar to a semicircle. Optionally, the curling direction of the first fixed air deflector 11 may be the same as the inward curling direction of the upper volute tongue of the through-flow air duct, so that the air flow blown out by the indoor unit of the air conditioner can achieve the air supply effect of converging two sides.
Optionally, the length of the third rotating air deflector 13 is equal to the distance between the first end of the first fixed air deflector 11 and the first end of the second fixed air deflector 12. In this way, the third rotating air guide plate 13 can smoothly rotate between the first fixed air guide plate 11 and the second fixed air guide plate 12, and the second passage can be closed.

As an example, the bottom end of the third rotating air guiding plate 13 is provided with a rotating shaft 132, as shown in fig. 2, the rotating shaft 132 is inserted into the air conditioning indoor unit 20, so that the rotating shaft 132 can cooperate with the driving mechanism 24 to drive the third rotating air guiding plate 13 to rotate. It is understood that the connection hole 131 and the rotation shaft 132 are located on the central axis of the third rotating air guide 13.

Optionally, the indoor air conditioner unit 20 further includes a baffle 25, the baffle 25 is disposed at the air outlet 23 of the indoor air conditioner unit 20, and the baffle 25 is configured to open or close the air outlet 23.
As shown in fig. 3, fig. 3 is a schematic view of an overall structure of an air-conditioning indoor unit 20, the air-conditioning indoor unit 20 is provided with a plurality of air outlets 23, a baffle 25 is disposed at each of the two air outlets 23, and the baffle 25 slidably opens or closes the air outlets 23. When the indoor unit 20 of the air conditioner is in a working state, the baffle 25 is in an open state, and when the indoor unit 20 of the air conditioner is in a shutdown state, the baffle 25 is in a closed state, and by arranging the baffle 25, dust in air can be prevented from entering the inside of the indoor unit of the air conditioner. The air guide mechanism 10 is disposed inside the baffle 25 and is located in the through-flow duct at a position close to the air outlet 23.
Optionally, the indoor air conditioner 20 includes a first operating mode and a second operating mode, in the first operating mode, the baffle 25 is in the open state, and the third rotating air deflector 13 is located at the initial position; in the second operation mode, the damper 25 is in the open state, and the third rotating air deflector 13 rotates between-90 ° and 90 ° along the central axis based on the initial position.
In the embodiment of the present disclosure, through the cooperation between the air guiding mechanism 10 and the molded line structure of the through-flow air duct, the air-conditioning indoor unit 20 has two working modes, which are specifically as follows:
the first operation mode may be defined as a soft wind mode, in which the baffle 25 is in an open state, and the third rotating air guiding plate 13 is in an initial position, where the initial position of the third rotating air guiding plate 13 is a position where the third rotating air guiding plate 13 is located when the second channel is closed, as shown in fig. 5. After the second channel is closed, the airflow in the indoor unit 20 of the air conditioner can only be blown out through the first channel and the third channel, which is equivalent to reducing the air outlet area of the indoor unit 20 of the air conditioner and reducing the wind speed, so that the airflow blown out from the indoor unit 20 of the air conditioner feels soft. Meanwhile, because the upper volute tongue of the through-flow air duct is of an inward-rolling structure, the left and right air outlet width of the indoor unit 20 of the air conditioner is reduced, and thus, airflow is converged and blown out near the air outlet 23 of the indoor unit 20 of the air conditioner, and a soft air mode with converged two sides is provided. The soft wind mode realizes the effect of simply reducing the wind quantity by reducing the wind outlet area, and is different from the mode of reducing the wind quantity by reducing the rotating speed of a fan in the prior art.
The second operation mode may be defined as a swing mode, in which the baffle 25 is in an open state, and the third rotating air guiding plate 13 rotates along its central axis between-90 ° and 90 ° based on the initial position, wherein-90 ° means that the third rotating air guiding plate 13 rotates counterclockwise by 90 ° along the central axis in the vertical direction based on the initial position, and 90 ° means that the third rotating air guiding plate 13 rotates clockwise by 90 ° along the central axis in the vertical direction based on the initial position. In the second operation mode, the third rotating air guiding plate 13 rotates between-90 ° and 90 ° to provide a side-to-side guiding swing mode, as shown in fig. 6. Because the upper volute tongue of the through-flow air duct is of an inward-rolling structure, the left and right air outlet width of the indoor unit 20 of the air conditioner is reduced, and thus, the second working mode is also a two-side-gathered air swinging mode.
Optionally, the indoor air conditioner unit 20 further includes a vane oscillating mechanism, the vane oscillating mechanism is disposed at the air outlet 23 of the indoor air conditioner unit 20, and the vane oscillating mechanism is configured to control the direction of the upward and downward air outlet of the indoor air conditioner unit 20.
