The embodiment of the utility model provides a wall-mounted air conditioner indoor unit. An indoor unit of a wall-mounted type air conditioner is an indoor part of a split wall-mounted type room air conditioner for conditioning indoor air, such as cooling/heating, dehumidifying, introducing fresh air, and the like.

Fig. 1 is a schematic structural view of a wall-mounted type air conditioning indoor unit according to an embodiment of the present invention; fig. 2 is an enlarged sectional view of the wall-mounted air conditioning indoor unit shown in fig. 1; fig. 3 is a schematic view of the wall-mounted air conditioning indoor unit of fig. 2 when switching to the front blowing mode.

As shown in fig. 1 to 3, a wall-mounted air conditioning indoor unit according to an embodiment of the present invention may generally include a cabinet 10 and a windshield 20.

The casing 10 is provided with an air outlet 12 opened forward and downward. The cabinet 10 defines an accommodation space for accommodating components of a wall-mounted air conditioning indoor unit. The outlet 12 may be opened at a lower portion of the front side of the housing 10, and an upper end (a end) of the outlet 12 is located at a front upper portion of a lower end (b end) of the outlet 12 so as to be opened toward a front lower portion. The outlet 12 is used for exhausting the airflow in the casing 10 to the indoor environment to condition the indoor air. The discharged air flow is referred to as air flow which is acted on by the fan 40 in the cabinet 10 to accelerate the air flow flowing through the air outlet 12 for adjusting the indoor environment, such as cold air in a cooling mode, hot air in a heating mode, fresh air in a fresh air mode, and the like. The casing 10 may be an elongated shape with a length direction (the transverse direction indicated in fig. 1) horizontally disposed, and the air outlet 12 may be an elongated shape with a length direction parallel to the length direction of the casing 10, as shown in fig. 1.

The windshield 20 is mounted to the casing 10 to be vertically movable, and the windshield 20 includes a vertical baffle 21 for shielding the air outlet 12 at a front side of the air outlet 12, and a top plate 25 extending rearward from a top edge of the vertical baffle 21. The windshield 20 is configured to translate up and down between a down-blowing state and a forward-blowing state. When the wind shield 20 is in the down-blowing state, the vertical baffle 21 is located at the front side of the air outlet 12 to shield the air outlet 12, and guides the air flow to flow downward, so that the air flow in the casing 10 cannot be blown out forward, as shown in fig. 2. When the windshield 20 is in the forward blowing state, the top plate 25 is located at the lower side of the air outlet 12 to guide the airflow forward, as shown in fig. 3. Of course, the down-blowing state and the forward-blowing state are only two limit states of the up-down reciprocal translation of the windshield 20, and the windshield 20 may be in any state therebetween.

The down blowing mode can be selected when the air conditioner heats, so that hot air can reach the ground more easily, the carpet type air supply effect is realized, and the problem that the indoor bottom space cannot be heated due to low hot air density is avoided. When the air conditioner is used for refrigeration, a forward blowing mode can be selected, so that the air supply distance of cold air is longer, and then the cold air gradually sinks to form a shower type refrigeration effect.

The wall-mounted air conditioner indoor unit provided by the embodiment of the utility model can select different air supply modes during refrigeration and heating, so that the air supply direction is more matched with the special requirements of refrigeration and heating, and the design is very ingenious.

As shown in fig. 1 and 2, when the windshield 20 is in the down-blowing state, the front surface of the vertical baffle 21 is flush with the front surface of the casing 10, so that the windshield 20 and the casing 10 form a complete butt-joint appearance effect. When the wall-mounted air conditioning indoor unit is in the non-operating state, the windshield 20 can be in this state, so that the appearance is more beautiful.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 2 and 3, the casing 10 has an air duct 50 therein, and the air duct 50 is defined by a front air duct wall 200 and a rear air duct wall 100 which are spaced apart from each other in the front-rear direction. The outlet ends of the front duct wall 200 and the rear duct wall 100 are respectively connected to the upper end and the lower end of the air outlet 12, so as to guide the air flow in the cabinet 10 to the air outlet 12. An air inlet 11 is formed at the top of the casing 10, and a cross flow fan 40 having an axis extending in a transverse direction is disposed at an inlet of the air duct 50. The three-stage heat exchanger 60 surrounds the crossflow blower 40. When the wall-mounted air conditioner indoor unit operates in a cooling mode or a heating mode, indoor air enters the interior of the casing 10 through the air inlet 11, exchanges heat with the three-section heat exchanger 60, is finally sucked into the air duct 50 by the cross-flow fan 40, and flows towards the air outlet 12.

When the windshield 20 is in a down-blowing state, the upper surface of the top plate 25 abuts against the front air duct wall 200, so that the air flow flowing along the front air duct wall 200 can be better transferred to the vertical baffle 21, and is guided by the vertical baffle 21, thereby reducing the flow loss of the air flow, as shown in fig. 2. An upward concave portion 201 is formed at a section of the front duct wall 200 adjacent to the air outlet 12 to accommodate the top plate 25 when the windshield 20 is in a downward blowing state, so as to prevent the top plate 25 from protruding from the front duct wall 200 and causing resistance to the airflow.

When the windshield 20 is in the forward blowing state, the rear end of the top plate 25 is connected to the lower end of the air outlet 12, so that the airflow flowing along the rear air duct wall 100 can better transit to the top plate 25, and is guided by the top plate 25, thereby reducing the flow loss of the airflow, as shown in fig. 3. A section of the rear duct wall 100 adjacent to the air outlet 12 is formed with a downward concave portion 101 to accommodate a rear section of the top plate 25 when the windshield 20 is in a forward blowing state, so as to prevent the top plate 25 from protruding from the rear duct wall 100 and causing resistance to airflow.

Fig. 4 is a schematic view of the wall-mounted air conditioning indoor unit of fig. 3 after the air deflector is rotated to another angle, and fig. 5 is an enlarged view of the air deflector of fig. 3.

In some embodiments, the wall-mounted air conditioning indoor unit further includes a wind deflector 30. As shown in fig. 5, the air deflector 30 includes a swing arm 32 and a plate body 31. The plate 31 is elongated with its longitudinal direction parallel to the longitudinal direction of the housing 10, and its rotation axis x is parallel to its longitudinal direction. The number of swing arms 32 may be two or more. A first end of the swing arm 32 is rotatably connected to the cabinet 10, and a second end of the swing arm 32 is connected to the plate body 31. When the air deflector 30 is in a position such that the second end is directly below the first end, the front section of the plate body 31 is in a raised shape that gradually slopes upward from a rearward front curve. When the air deflector 30 is in a position where the second end (of the swing arm 32) is located directly below the first end (of the swing arm 32), or when the swing arm 32 is in a vertically extended state, the upward surface of the plate body 31 is the first side 311, and the downward surface is the second side 312.

The air deflector 30 is configured to rotate to a lower end near the air outlet 12, and to make the first side 311 face upward to an upward air guiding position, as shown in fig. 3; or rotate to a lower wind guiding position close to the upper end of the wind outlet 12 and make the first side 311 face backwards and downwards. Specifically, the above-mentioned effect can be achieved by positioning the rotation axis x of the air deflector 30 between the upper end and the lower end of the air outlet 12. When the air deflector 30 is at the upward air guiding position, the plate 31 guides the air flow to flow upward, so that the upward angle of the air flow in the cooling forward blowing mode is larger, as shown in fig. 3. When the air deflector 30 is in the lower air guiding position, the plate body 31 is more tangent to the front air duct wall 200, so as to reduce the wind resistance when the air flow flows to the air deflector 30, as shown in fig. 2, so that the forward-blowing air flow changes direction more smoothly, flows to the vertical baffle 21 with less resistance, and is guided downwards by the vertical baffle 21.

As shown in fig. 5, the first side 311 includes a first straight line segment AB, a first arc segment BC, a second arc segment CD, and a third arc segment DE, which are sequentially connected from back to front. Second side 312 includes a second straight segment FG, a fourth arcuate segment GH, and a fifth arcuate segment HK that follow one another from rear to front. Thus, the transition between the straight line section at the rear part and the raised section at the front part of the plate body 31 is more gradual, and the line type of the first side surface 311 and the second side surface 312 is more reasonable, so that the flow resistance of the air flow is smaller.

Further, the ratio of the radius of the second arc segment CD to the radius of the first arc segment BC is between 0.6 and 0.8, preferably between 0.5 and 0.7. The ratio of the radii of the third curved section DE to the first curved section BC is between 2.6 and 3.0, preferably between 2.7 and 2.9. The ratio of the radii of the fourth arcuate section GH to the fifth arcuate section HK is between 2.6 and 3.0, preferably between 2.7 and 2.9. As shown in fig. 5, when the air guide plate 30 is positioned such that the second end of the swing arm 32 is positioned directly below the first end of the swing arm 32, the ratio of the distance between the front and rear ends of the plate 31 (the linear distance between K and F) to the distance projected on the horizontal plane (the distance between K1 and F) is 1.03 to 1.11. Through the design, the line type of the first side 311 and the second side 312 is more reasonable, so that the flow resistance of the airflow is smaller.

Fig. 6 is a schematic view illustrating a structure of a windshield of the wall-mounted indoor unit of the air conditioner shown in fig. 1; fig. 7 is another perspective view of the windshield shown in fig. 6.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 1 to 7, the windshield 20 further includes two side plates 22 extending rearward from two lateral ends of the vertical baffle 21, and the two side plates 22 are respectively configured to be mounted on two lateral sides of the casing 10 in a vertically translatable manner. The two side plates 22 are provided to make both sides of the windshield 20 more beautiful in appearance and facilitate the arrangement of the connecting and driving structure at the lateral end of the casing 10. In the down-blowing state, the upper end of the vertical baffle 21 abuts against the upper end of the air outlet 12, and the outer surfaces of the vertical baffle 21 and the two side plates 22 are flush with the outer surface of the casing 10, so that the windshield 20 and the casing 10 form a complete butt joint appearance effect. When the wall-mounted air conditioning indoor unit is in the non-operating state, the windshield 20 can be in this state, so that the appearance is more beautiful.

The windshield 20 also includes a base plate 23. The two lateral sides of the bottom plate 23 are connected to the two side plates 22 respectively and are located below the bottom wall of the casing 10. Thus, the bottom of the windshield 20 has a more complete and beautiful appearance. The bottom plate 23 is opened with an air outlet 230 opposite to the air outlet 12 to allow the air flow to flow out downwards. That is, the air flow in the casing 10 flows through the air outlet 12 and then blows to the indoor environment through the air outlet 230. The vertical baffle 21, the bottom plate 23 and the two side plates 22 constitute an integral piece.

When the windshield 20 is in a down-blowing state, the outer surfaces of the vertical baffle 21 and the two side plates 22 are flush with the outer surface of the casing 10, so that the windshield 20 and the casing 10 form a complete butt joint appearance effect. When the wall-mounted air conditioning indoor unit is in the non-operating state, the windshield 20 can be in this state, so that the appearance is more beautiful.

In some embodiments, the wall-mounted air conditioning indoor unit utilizes a rack and pinion mechanism to drive the windshield 20 to translate up and down. As shown in fig. 8, the casing 10 has mounting plates 13 at two lateral ends, and the mounting plates 13 are provided with a rack and pinion mechanism for driving the windshield 20 to move up and down. The mounting plate 13 has a plurality of lugs 132 for attachment to the end caps of the cabinet 10 by screws. The rack and pinion mechanism includes a motor 71, a gear 72 and a rack 73 that engage with each other. The motor 71 is disposed inside the mounting plate 13, the gear 72 is mounted on the motor 71, and the rack 73 is disposed inside the mounting plate 13 so as to be vertically translatable. In particular, the mounting plate 13 may be provided with a reinforcement rib 221 on the inside thereof to be connected with the bottom section 731 of the rack 73. Furthermore, a part of the rack 73 extends out of the mounting plate 13 through a vertical long-strip abdicating hole formed on the mounting plate 13, and is connected with the side plate 22 of the windshield 20.

When the motor 71 drives the gear 72 to rotate, the gear 72 drives the rack 73 to move up and down, so as to drive the windshield 20 to move up and down.

In the embodiment, the main structure of the rack-and-pinion mechanism is installed at the lateral side end of the casing 10, so that the appearance of the wall-mounted air conditioner indoor unit is not affected.

Thus, it should be appreciated by those skilled in the art that while a number of exemplary embodiments of the utility model have been illustrated and described in detail herein, many other variations or modifications consistent with the principles of the utility model may be directly determined or derived from the disclosure of the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the utility model.
