In a second embodiment, as shown in Fig. 2 to Fig. 7, it is a specific application of the air guide structure on the air conditioning device. Herein, a top air delivery passage 6 is corresponding to the air delivery passage 16 in the first embodiment; an air guide sleeve 22 is corresponding to the second wall 122 in the first embodiment; a decorative cover 7 is corresponding to the first wall 17 in the first embodiment; a part, positioned at a front side, of an annular air outlet 61 between the air guide sleeve 22 and the decorative cover 7 is corresponding to the air outlet 15 in the first embodiment.
In Fig. 2 to Fig. 4, the air conditioning device comprises a cylindrical air conditioning device housing 5; a main body air passage and an air generation device are provided in the air conditioning device housing 5; an air outlet structure of the air conditioning device in the embodiment comprises a top opening 9 provided on a top of the air conditioning device; the top opening 9 is obliquely provided relative to an axial direction. Specifically, a surface where an opening edge of the top opening 9 is located is not perpendicular to the axial direction of the air conditioning device housing 5, but is formed into a certain inclination angle with the axial direction of the air conditioning device housing 5; the surface where the opening edge is located is preferably but not limited to a plane, and also may be a curved surface or other types of surfaces; the air conditioning device further comprises a top cover 2; the top cover 2 is provided at the top opening 9; the top cover 2 is provided at the top opening 9 and at least partially shelters from the top opening 9. Herein, the meaning of at least partially shelters from the top opening 9 refers to that the user cannot see an overall shape of the top opening 9 when observing from an outside and only can see a part of the top opening 9. The top cover 2 comprises the air guide sleeve 22; a sidewall of the air guide sleeve 22 is a first horn structure which is hollow overall and whose outer diameter is gradually increasing from a lower end to an upper end; an inclined surface is formed by the first horn structure; a lower end of the air guide sleeve 22 is provided in the top opening 9. The top cover 2 comprises the air guide sleeve 22 and an upper cover 21; the upper cover 21 is provided at an upper end of the air guide sleeve 22; when the user observes the air conditioning device from the outside, the top opening 9 is visually and mainly covered by the upper cover 21. The upper cover 21 and the air guide sleeve 22 are connected together and formed into a whole structure, and also may be separately manufactured and then are connected into a whole structure via a connection piece.
The top opening 9 comprises a first edge 91 located at a front side and provided at a lowest position, and a second edge 92 located at a rear side and provided at a highest position. As the top opening 9 is obliquely provided, in order to coordinate with the shape of the top opening 9, an upper end 224 of the air guide cover is also obliquely arranged towards a same direction with the top opening 9. As a whole, the upper end 224 of the air guide cover is basically parallel to the top opening 9. In order to match with the inclined top opening 9, the air guide cover 22 comprises a front sidewall 222 at a front side and a rear sidewall 223 at a rear side; the front sidewall 222 and the rear sidewall 223 both are bent towards a radial outside from the lower end to an upper end, and preferably are extended in the forward and backward directions; on a cross section overlapped to an axial line, a curvature of the front sidewall 222 is greater than that of the rear sidewall 223. Herein, the front sidewall 222 is provided near the first edge 91 of the top opening 9. On the whole, the air guide cover 22 is of the first horn structure bent towards the first edge 91 of the top opening 9 and inclined at the upper end 224, as shown in Fig. 3. Preferably, when the upper cover 21 is mounted at the upper end 224 of the air guide cover 22, the upper cover 21 is also obliquely arranged and is provided with an oblique shape same as the top opening 9. In this way, by observing from the outside, the upper cover 21 is positioned above the top opening 9 and is inclined in the same direction with the top opening 9; the upper cover 21 is basically parallel to the top opening 9.
The decorative cover 7 is of a tubular shape with upper and lower ends opened, and is a second horn structure which is hollow overall and whose outer diameter is gradually increasing from a lower end to an upper end. The shape of the second horn structure may be consistent with that of the first horn structure of the air guide cover 22, and also may be not consistent with that of the first horn structure. As shown in Fig. 4, the shape of the second horn structure is not consistent with that of the first horn structure. An upper edge 71 of the decorative cover 7 is provided with a first edge 711 located at a front side and positioned at a lowest position, and a second edge 712 located at a rear side and positioned at a highest position. The decorative cover 7 is provided in the air conditioning device housing 5 at the top opening 9 and is positioned in a radial outside of the air guide cover 22; the decorative cover 7 is provided at an outer circumference of the air guide cover 22 in a sleeving manner from a lower end. The decorative cover 7 may be fixed on an inner wall of the air conditioning device housing 5 at the top opening 9. Preferably, the top opening 9 of the air conditioning device is formed by the air conditioning device housing 5 by surrounding; the shape of the upper edge 71 of the decorative cover 7 is matched with that of the top opening 9; when the decorative cover 7 is mounted in the air conditioning device housing 5, the decorative cover 7 keeps out the inner wall of the air conditioning device housing 5 overall; when the user observes from the top, only the decorative cover 7 can be observed and the inner wall of the air conditioning device housing 5 cannot be observed; and thus, the decorative cover 7 takes the decorative effect to the top opening 9.
The top air delivery passage 6 is formed between an inner sidewall of the decorative cover 7 and an outer sidewall of the air guide cover 22. As the decorative cover 7 and the air guide cover 22 both are of a smooth horn structure, the top air delivery passage 6 formed there between, on the whole, also is of a horn shape extended smoothly along a radial outside from a lower end to an upper end. As a result, the air-out resistance can be reduced, the air-out speed is improved, and the smooth air delivery of the air conditioning device to a peripheral direction may be implemented. An upper end of the top air delivery passage 6 is formed into the annular air outlet 61, as shown in Fig. 7a; the upper edge 224 of the air guide cover 22 and the upper edge 71 of the decorative cover 7 are respectively formed into a lower edge and an upper edge of the annular air outlet 61. A mounting seat air opening 11 communicated with the main body air passage is provided between the decorative cover 7 and the air guide cover 22.
When a vertical air conditioning device is placed into a room, it is generally placed against a wall, and particularly, is placed at a corner of the wall. In this case, the user always hopes that the air volume blown to the room can be larger. To this end, as shown in Fig. 7, in actual use of the air conditioning device in the embodiment, the rear side of the device faces to the wall, the front side of the device faces to a space of the room and the top opening 9 is inclined toward the space of the room. The mounting seat air opening 11 is opposite to the front sidewall 222 of the air guide cover 22. In this way, a great part of the air volume from the mounting seat air opening 11 will be guided by the front sidewall 222 and then is blown out from a vicinity of the first edge 91 of the top opening to the room space at the front side of the air conditioning device, and the rest air volume will be blown out to the periphery of the air conditioning device via a rest part of the top air delivery passage 6. In such a way, the proportion of the air volume blown to the room space may be improved, and the heat exchange effect of the room space is effectively improved.
When the air from the main body air passage is blown to the front sidewall 222 of the air guide cover 22 via the mounting seat air opening 11, due to different mounting positions and types of the air generation device, an air-out direction of the main body air passage is not necessarily along a vertical direction. In some cases, the air-out direction of the main body air passage is oblique relative to a axial direction; at this moment, after the air is guided by the front sidewall 222 of the air guide cover 22, the main air volume is not blown out along a direction directly facing a front side of the air conditioning device and is deviated to some extent from the direction facing the front side of the air conditioning device, such that a heat exchange effect and a user experience of the room will be affected. Hence, it is necessary to correct the air-out direction of the front side. In light of this, as shown in Fig. 4 to Fig. 7, a part, positioned at the front side, of the top air delivery passage 6 is provided with an air guide structure in the first embodiment. Specifically, the air guide plate 8 is arranged vertically and is extended along a forward direction and a backward direction; the air guide plate 8 is provided near the first edge 711 of the decorative cover 7; a height of an upper edge 83 of the air guide plate 8 is not greater than that of the first edge 711 of the decorative cover 7. The air guide plate is provided in the top air delivery passage 6, may be mounted on the decorative cover 7 and also may be mounted on the air guide cover 22. As a preferable solution, as shown in Fig. 5, the air guide plates 811, 812 are provided on an inner wall of the front sidewall 72 of the decorative cover 7; the air guide plates 811, 812 are vertically arranged; one ends of the air guide plates 811, 812 are connected to the inner wall of the front sidewall 72 of the decorative cover 7, and the other ends of the air guide plates 811, 812 are extended backward to the front sidewall 222 of the air guide cover; the air guide plate 8 comprises a plurality of the air guide plates, and the air guide plates are provided in parallel, As shown in Fig. 5, five air guide plates are provided; the air guide plate 8 may be provided with different lengths. As shown in Fig. 5, three short air guide plates 811 are provided on a middle part, and two long air guide plates 812 are provided at two sides of the three short air guide plates 811. As another preferable solution, as shown in Fig. 6, the air guide plates 821 and 822 are provided on an outer wall, positioned on the front sidewall 222, of the air guide cover 22; the air guide plates 821, 822 are vertically provided; one ends of the air guide plates 821, 822 are connected to the outer wall of the front sidewall 222 of the air guide cover 22, and the other ends of the air guide plates 821, 822 are extended forward to the front sidewall 72 of the decorative cover 7. The air guide plates may be provided with different lengths. As shown in Fig. 6, the three short air guide plates 821 are provided in the middle part and the two long air guide plates 822 are provided at the two sides of the three short air guide plates 821. The air guide plates are set into the different lengths, which is intended to arrange the mounting seat air opening 11 at the front side of a mounting seat and between the decorative cover 7 and the air guide cover 22 as shown in Fig. 3 and Fig. 4; the lower ends of the decorative cover 7 and the air guide cover 22 are not coaxially arranged. The axial line of the air guide cover 22 in the decorative cover 7 is provided more close to the rear side. Hence, a distance W1 between the decorative cover 7 and the air guide cover 22 positioned at the two sides of the front side is greater than a distance W2 between the decorative cover 7 and the air guide cover 22 positioned in the middle of the front side. Referring to Fig. 3, the air guide plates 812, 822 positioned in the parts at the two sides of the front side have a greater length than the air guide plates 811, 821 positioned in the middle of the front side, such that the air-out direction at the front side of the whole top air delivery passage 6 can be regulated by the air guide plates, and thus the air at the front side can be blown out to the direction directly facing the front side, as shown by arrows in Fig. 5 and Fig. 6.
The height of the upper edge 83 of the air guide plate 8 is not greater than that of the first edge 711 of the decorative cover 7, as shown in Fig. 3. In this way, by observing from the outside, the air guide plate is not exposed out of the decorative cover 7 and are hidden by the air conditioning device housing 5 and the decorative cover 7, such that the user cannot see any blade or grid structure from the outside, the whole aesthetics is better, and simultaneously, the air further can be guaranteed to be blown to the direction directly facing the front side.

Referring to Fig. 7a and Fig. 7b, the top cover is moved between an ascending position and a descending position. Through the ascending and descending movements of the top cover 2, the distance with the top opening 9 is changed and the opening degree of the top air delivery passage 6 is further changed, thereby regulating the air volume of the blown air. As a preferable manner, the top cover 2 may seal the top opening 9 at the descending position, thereby closing the top air delivery passage 6, specifically: in a use state, the top cover 2 is moved upward to the ascending position such that the top air delivery passage 6 is exposed and delivers the air to the room to exchange the heat; in a closed state, the top cover 2 may be descended to the descending position; the top cover 2 is provided with a shape matched with the top opening 9, so at the descending position, the top opening 9 may be completely sealed by the top cover 2; in this way, the top air delivery passage 6 is closed completely and no longer blows the air; and meanwhile, on the whole, the air conditioning device is of a cylindrical structure whose appearance has no opening overall and top is tilted, so any air outlet cannot be seen from the appearance and the high-class sense of the product is improved. In the closed state, the top cover 2 seals the top opening 9, such that foreign matters such as dust or liquid can be prevented from entering the air conditioning device when it is not in use, and the possibility of the foreign matters to cause the failure of the air conditioning device is reduced; and furthermore, the inside of the air conditioning device also can be kept clean and the maintainability is better.
In order to coordinate with the top cover 2 to seal the top opening 9, preferably, the shape of the upper edge 224 of the air guide cover 22 is matched with that of the upper edge of the decorative cover 7; at the descending position of the top cover 2, the upper edge 224 of the air guide cover 22 covers the upper edge of the decorative cover 7, thereby sealing the air delivery passage. In order to enable the air guide plates not to affect the ascending and descending of the air guide cover 22 relative to the decorative cover 7, preferably, the lengths of the air guide plates 8 are provided to be smaller than a distance between the outer wall of the front sidewall 222 of the air guide cover 22 at the descending position and the inner wall of the front sidewall 72 of the decorative cover 7.
The top cover 2 may be ascended and descended by means of a top cover ascending-descending device; the top cover ascending-descending device comprises a drive unit 3; the drive unit 3 preferably is a gear-rack ascending-descending mechanism or a nut-rod ascending-descending mechanism.
