Description

The present invention relates to the technical field of air conditioning, and more specifically to air conditioners.

An air conditioner is an equipment that manually adjusts and controls parameters such as temperature, humidity, and flow rate of the ambient air in a building or structure. Most air conditioners are equipped with a wind guide plate. The wind guide plate is connected to the drive case of the air conditioner and is rotated to form different opening angles.

In the housings of currently available air conditioner indoor units, the structure to which the air guide plate is attached is installed inside the air outlet, so in actual applications, the rotation process of the air guide plate is invisible, and after the user sends a command to adjust the angle of the air guide plate using a remote control, it is necessary to judge whether the angle of the air guide plate has been properly adjusted according to the sensation of wind on the skin, which is very inconvenient. Furthermore, because the structure to which the air guide plate of the housing is attached is installed inside the air outlet, the air guide plate cannot be tightly fitted to the outer surface of the housing after installation is completed, and a large gap exists, so that during actual operation, the blown air flows through the gap between the air guide plate and the outer surface of the housing, making it easy for condensation to form.

Furthermore, when an air conditioner blows air, it usually blows the air after heat exchange through a windmill into the room from the air outlet. In heating mode, hot air is blown out from the air conditioner's air outlet, and since the density of the hot air is low, the hot air tends to float directly into the upper space inside the room after leaving the air outlet, making it difficult for it to reach the ground. In this way, when the air conditioner heats, problems such as uneven distribution of cold and heat are likely to occur, reducing the comfort of the user.

In addition, in conventional technology, the air guide plate collides with the housing during its rotation, causing the air guide plate to wear out, become damaged, and produce abnormal noise.

In order to solve the problems existing in the prior art, the present invention provides an air conditioner, comprising a housing and a wind guide plate, an air outlet is opened in the housing, an assembly groove is recessed in the outer wall of the housing, a rotation area is arranged in the assembly groove, the wind guide plate comprises an attachment part and a wind guide part, the wind guide part is connected to the attachment part and is used to guide the blowing direction of the air outlet, the attachment part is connected in the assembly groove, and the wind guide plate is rotatably connected to the outside of the air outlet of the housing in the rotation area arranged in the assembly groove. The wind guide plate may be driven by another driving device to rotate back and forth within the rotation area of the corresponding assembly groove, or may remain at any position in the rotation area. Since the wind guide plate is attached in the assembly groove in the outer wall of the housing, the entire wind guide plate is within the user's visible range, realizing visualization of the rotation process of the wind guide plate.

Optionally, the assembly groove is located above the outer side of the air outlet and parallel to the length direction of the air outlet. The assembly groove is located above the air outlet, and the air guide plate is attached to the assembly groove. After that, when the air conditioner heats up, the hot air blown out from the air outlet can flow under the guide of the air guide plate. Due to the blocking of the air guide plate, the hot air blown out from the air outlet does not directly rise to the upper space after leaving the air outlet, improving the uniformity of heating in the upper and lower spaces, further improving the heating effect of the air conditioner, and improving the comfort of user use. When the air conditioner cools down, whether it is a vertical air conditioner or a wall-mounted air conditioner, the air outlet of the indoor unit is installed at a high position in the room, so when the opening angle of the air guide plate is large, the cold air blown out from the air outlet does not directly flow downward to the lower space after leaving the air outlet under the guide of the air guide plate, improving the uniformity of cooling in the upper and lower spaces, further improving the cooling effect of the air conditioner, and improving the comfort of user use.

Optionally, the assembly groove is connected to the upper edge of the air outlet. The greater the distance between the assembly groove and the air outlet, the lower the utilization rate of the air guide plate to achieve the air guide function. The assembly groove is connected to the upper edge of the air outlet, which maximizes the utilization rate of the air guide plate, prevents the air guide plate from being too large, and saves production costs. The assembly groove is parallel to the extension direction of the air outlet, and during the actual operation process, all parts of the air guide plate connected to the assembly groove can perform the air guide function, further improving the utilization rate of the air guide plate.

In an optional embodiment, the assembly groove extends along the horizontal direction. The assembly groove extends along the horizontal direction, i.e., the upper edge of the air outlet also extends along the horizontal direction, improving the aesthetics after the assembly of the air guide plate is completed.

Optionally, the cross section of the mounting part is arc-shaped and the cross section of the assembly groove is adapted to the mounting part, so that the mounting part and the assembly groove are installed coaxially, minimizing the gap between the mounting part and the assembly groove, and preventing condensation on the outer wall of the housing.

In an alternative embodiment, one end of the assembly groove is opened to one end wall of the housing in the horizontal direction, and the other end extends to the other end wall of the housing in the horizontal direction. Both ends of the assembly groove are located on both end walls of the housing in the horizontal direction, i.e., the assembly groove penetrates the housing in the horizontal direction, ensuring that after the air guide plate is installed in the assembly groove, the air guide plate can be completely and tightly fitted to the outer wall of the housing in the horizontal direction, avoiding the existence of a marginal area causing an excessively large gap, and improving the effect of preventing condensation.

In an optional embodiment, a recessed area is recessed into the outer wall of the housing, the air outlet is opened into the recessed area, and the recessed area is used to engage with the air guide plate. In the off state, the air guide plate is fitted into the recessed area, realizing the engagement with the recessed area and realizing the storage of the air guide plate, preventing the air guide plate from protruding from the outer wall of the housing in the off state, and improving aesthetics.

In an alternative embodiment, the housing includes a housing and a panel mounted to the housing, the recessed area is recessed into the housing, and the assembly groove is recessed into an outer wall of the housing or the panel.

Optionally, the air guide plate includes an outer plate and an inner liner, the inner liner is laminated and joined to the outer plate, and there is a gap between the outer plate and the inner liner, the inner liner is used to guide the airflow blown out from the air conditioner's outlet, and the outer plate can be used for decoration and to strengthen the structural strength of the air guide plate.

Optionally, the outer plate includes a first arc plate, the inner liner includes a second arc plate, the first arc plate is connected to the second arc plate, and the first arc plate and the second arc plate are joined to form the mounting part. When the outer plate is laminated and joined to the inner liner, the first arc plate and the second arc plate can be joined to form the mounting part, and there is no need to open the mold separately for the mounting part with a large arc. The arc parts are disassembled and placed on the outer plate and the inner liner to open the mold respectively, thereby reducing the difficulty of manufacturing the mounting part, simplifying the structure of the air guide plate, and ensuring easy processing and assembly. In an optional embodiment, the mounting part is a hollow structure, which saves material, does not affect the strength of the mounting part, and can reduce the output required for the drive device.

In an optional embodiment, the center of the first arc plate overlaps with the center of the second arc plate, and the radius of the first arc plate is equal to the radius of the second arc plate. By setting the first arc plate and the second arc plate to have equal radii and overlapping centers, it is possible to ensure regularity in the structure of the mounting portion where the first arc plate and the second arc plate are joined, and further ensure smooth rotation of the air guide plate. In an optional embodiment, the arc length of the first arc plate is greater than the arc length of the second arc plate.

In an optional embodiment, the inner liner further includes a wind guide liner, one end of the wind guide liner is connected to an end of the second arc plate that is not connected to the first arc plate, and the other end of the wind guide liner is connected to the outer plate, the wind guide liner includes a third arc plate and a fourth arc plate connected in sequence, the end of the third arc plate away from the fourth arc plate is connected to the end of the second arc plate that is not connected to the first arc plate, the end of the fourth arc plate away from the third arc plate is connected to the outer plate, the side of the third arc plate that is away from the outer plate is a concave surface, and the side of the fourth arc plate that is away from the outer plate is a convex surface, whereby the wind guide surface of the wind guide liner is approximately S-shaped. When the air conditioner is heating, the hot air blown out from the outlet can flow under the guidance of the air guide liner, and due to the blocking of the air guide surface of the air guide liner, the hot air blown out from the outlet does not directly rise to the upper space after leaving the outlet, improving the uniformity of heating in the upper and lower spaces, further improving the heating effect of the air conditioner, and improving the comfort of user use. When the air conditioner is cooling, whether it is a vertical air conditioner or a wall-mounted air conditioner, the air outlet of the indoor unit is installed at a high position in the room, so when the opening angle of the air guide plate is large, under the guidance of the air guide liner, the cold air blown out from the outlet does not flow directly downward to the lower space after leaving the outlet, improving the uniformity of cooling in the upper and lower spaces, further improving the cooling effect of the air conditioner, and improving the comfort of user use.

In an optional embodiment, the air guide liner is a straight plate or an arc-shaped plate. By installing the air guide liner as a straight plate or an arc-shaped plate, it is possible to reliably prevent the hot air coming out of the air outlet from floating up.

When the air guide plate is in the first position, the abutment between the fitting portion and the first wall surface of the position limiting portion is utilized to limit the air guide plate from colliding with the housing when in the first position. When the air guide plate is in the second position, the abutment between the fitting portion and the second wall surface of the position limiting portion is utilized to limit the air guide plate from colliding with the housing and becoming worn when in the second position. By installing a position limiting part on the housing and a fitting part on the air guide plate, the fitting between the position limiting part and the fitting part is used to limit the limit position of the air guide plate, preventing the air guide plate from colliding with the housing and wearing down, and improving the problems of the air guide plate being damaged or generating abnormal noise.

Optionally, the fitting portion has a third wall surface and a fourth wall surface, and when the air guide plate is in the first position, the third wall surface abuts against the first wall surface, and when the air guide plate is in the second position, the fourth wall surface abuts against the second wall surface. When the air guide plate is in the first position, the abutment between the third wall surface of the fitting portion and the first wall surface of the position limiting portion can be utilized to more effectively improve the position limiting effect when the air guide plate is in the first position. When the air guide plate is in the second position, the abutment between the fourth wall surface of the fitting portion and the second wall surface of the position limiting portion can be utilized to more effectively improve the position limiting effect when the air guide plate is in the second position.

Selectively, the position limiting portion is provided in a protruding manner on the bottom wall of the assembly groove, and the fitting portion is provided in a protruding manner on the air guide plate. Protruding the position limiting portion on the bottom wall of the assembly groove allows it to be better fitted with the fitting portion, and protruding the fitting portion allows the fitting portion and the position limiting portion to be better fitted together, and also makes molding easier.

Optionally, the number of the position limiting parts is two, and the two position limiting parts are respectively protruded on both ends of the assembly groove, and the number of the mounting parts is two, and the two mounting parts are respectively installed on both ends of the air guide plate, and the two position limiting parts are respectively fitted into the fitting parts of the two mounting parts. By installing a position limiting part on both ends of the assembly groove and fitting it with the fitting parts on both ends of the air guide plate, the force received by both sides of the air guide plate can be made uniform, and deformation of the air guide plate can be avoided.

Optionally, a through groove is provided in the position limiting portion, the air guide plate is rotatably attached to the through groove, and the fitting portion is provided in a protruding manner on the side wall of the mounting portion. Providing a through groove in the position limiting portion makes it easier for the mounting portion to pass through, and the through groove can be used to realize pre-positioning of the mounting portion. Providing the fitting portion in a protruding manner on the side wall of the mounting portion makes it easier to fit the fitting portion and the position limiting portion together.

Optionally, the mounting portion includes a first portion and a second portion connected to each other, the first portion is connected to the air guide portion, the fitting portion is provided protrudingly on the side wall of the second portion, the through groove includes a first groove portion and a second groove portion, the first wall surface and the second wall surface are both connected to the side wall of the second groove portion, the first portion is attached to the first groove portion, the second portion is attached to the second groove portion, the third wall surface and the fourth wall surface are two opposing side walls of the fitting portion, and the first wall surface and the second wall surface are respectively located on both sides of the second groove portion. By installing the first side wall and the second side wall on both sides of the second groove portion, better abutment of the fitting portion is facilitated. By installing the first portion and the first groove portion so as to be fitted, pre-positioning of the mounting portion is realized when assembling the mounting portion. By installing the second portion and providing the fitting portion protrudingly on the side wall of the second portion, it is facilitated that the fitting portion abuts on the first wall surface and the second wall surface during the rotation process. By placing the first wall surface and the second wall surface on either side of the second groove portion, it becomes easier for the first wall surface to abut against the third wall surface, and for the second wall surface to abut against the fourth wall surface.

Selectably, the first portion is assembled to the first groove portion with a gap therebetween, and the second portion is assembled to the second groove portion with a gap therebetween. By assembling the first portion to the first groove portion with a gap therebetween, the first portion reduces friction with the sidewall of the first groove portion during rotation, thereby reducing wear of the first portion or the first groove portion. By assembling the second portion to the second groove portion with a gap therebetween, the second portion reduces friction with the sidewall of the second groove portion during rotation, thereby reducing wear of the second portion or the second groove portion.

Optionally, the diameter of the first portion is larger than the diameter of the second portion, and the diameter of the first groove portion is larger than the diameter of the second groove portion. By having the diameter of the first portion larger than the diameter of the second portion and the diameter of the second groove portion larger than the diameter of the first groove portion, the end face of the first portion and the end face of the first groove portion can be fitted together to restrict the mounting position of the mounting portion, thereby realizing pre-positioning of the mounting portion during the mounting process of the mounting portion.

The present invention will now be described in more detail with reference to the drawings and examples. As will be understood, the specific examples described herein are merely for the purpose of interpreting the present invention, and are not intended to limit the present invention. Also, as is necessary to explain, for the sake of convenience, the drawings show only the parts relevant to the present invention, rather than the entire structure.

1, the housing 110 used in the air conditioner indoor unit 100 of this embodiment includes the housing 110 and the air guide plate 150. An air outlet 117 is opened in the housing 110, and the air outlet 117 is used to blow air into the room. An assembly groove 119 is recessed in the outer wall of the housing 110, and the assembly groove 119 is used to insert the air guide plate 150 and rotatably engage with the air guide plate 150 to realize the installation of the air guide plate 150. The air guide plate 150 is installed in the assembly groove 119 so as to be rotatably connected to the housing 110 within the arranged rotation area, and the air guide plate 150 may be driven by another driving device to rotate back and forth within the arranged rotation area, or may remain at any position within the rotation area, and the specific range is determined according to actual needs. Since the air guide plate 150 is installed in the assembly groove 119 on the outer wall of the housing 110, the entire air guide plate 150 is within the user's visible range, and the rotation process of the air guide plate 150 is visualized. In practical application, after the air guide plate 150 is installed in the assembly groove 119, the rotation process of the air guide plate 150 can be easily observed, realizing visualization of the rotation process and facilitating the user to quickly adjust the angle of the air guide plate 150. As can be understood, in practical application, a driving device is disposed on the air guide plate 150 to drive the air guide plate 150 to rotate to multiple angles, thereby realizing the air blown out from the air outlet 117 to be guided in different directions.

2, in the housing of this embodiment, the assembly groove 119 is located above the outer side of the air outlet 117 and is parallel to the length direction of the air outlet 117. After the air guide plate 150 is attached to the assembly groove 119, it rotates in a vertical plane under the driving of the driving device. The assembly groove 119 is located above the air outlet 117. After the air guide plate 150 is attached to the assembly groove 119, when the indoor unit 100 to which the housing 110 of this embodiment is applied operates in a heating mode, the air guide plate 150 should be in a position with a small opening degree, and the hot air blown out from the air outlet 117 immediately rises after leaving the air outlet 117, and the air guide plate 150 has the effect of depressing this part of the hot air. Due to the blocking of the air guide plate 150, the hot air blown out from the air outlet 117 does not directly rise to the upper space after leaving the air outlet 117, which improves the uniformity of heating in the upper and lower spaces, further improving the heating effect of the air conditioner and improving the comfort of the user. When the air conditioner is cooling, the air guide plate 150 should be in a position with a large opening. Whether it is a vertical air conditioner or a wall-mounted air conditioner, the air outlet 117 of the indoor unit 100 is installed at a high position in the room. Therefore, when the air guide plate 150 is opened to a large degree, the cool air blown out from the air outlet 117, under the guidance of the air guide plate 150, does not flow directly downward into the lower space after leaving the air outlet 117, improving the uniformity of cooling in the upper and lower spaces, further improving the cooling effect of the air conditioner, and improving user comfort.

In the housing 110 according to this embodiment, an assembly groove 119 for mounting the air guide plate 150 is provided on the outer wall of the housing 110, so the selection of the type of air guide plate 150 is not limited by the size of the air outlet 117, and it is sufficient to realize that the air outlet 117 can be completely blocked in the off state. In other words, the housing 110 according to this embodiment can accommodate a larger sized air guide plate 150, and the air guide effect can be further improved significantly.

1 and 2, in this embodiment, in order to improve the effective utilization rate of the air guide plate 150 and save production costs, the assembly groove 119 is connected to the upper edge of the air outlet 117, which can be understood as the assembly groove 119 communicating with the air outlet 117. When the air guide plate 150 is rotatably engaged with the assembly groove 119, the part of the air guide plate 150 close to the assembly groove 119 can also perform a flow guiding function for the air outlet 117, that is, the utilization rate of the air guide plate 150 is improved. The greater the distance between the assembly groove 119 and the air outlet 117, the lower the utilization rate of the air guide plate 150 for realizing the air guide function. The assembly groove 119 is connected to the upper edge of the air outlet 117 to maximize the utilization rate of the air guide plate 150, avoid the air guide plate 150 being too large, and save production costs. The assembly groove 119 is parallel to the extension direction of the air outlet 117, and during actual operation, each part of the air guide plate 150 connected to the assembly groove 119 performs an air guide function, further improving the utilization rate of the air guide plate 150.

And, considering that the air outlets 117 of most commercially available indoor units 100 are all rectangular structures with the long sides extending horizontally, in order to accommodate most commercially available indoor units 100, in this embodiment, the assembly groove 119 extends horizontally, i.e., the upper edge of the air outlet 117 also extends horizontally. The assembly groove 119 extends horizontally, i.e., the upper edge of the air outlet 117 also extends horizontally, improving the aesthetics after assembly of the air guide plate 150 is completed.

3 and 4, the air guide plate 150 includes an attachment part 159 and an air guide part 157, the attachment part 159 is fitted and attached to the assembly groove 119, the air guide plate 150 needs to rotate smoothly after being attached to the assembly groove 119, and it is necessary to ensure a tight fit of the air guide plate 150 to prevent an excessively large gap from occurring. In this embodiment, the assembly groove 119 is installed in a semi-cylindrical groove, that is, the cross section of the assembly groove 119 is semi-circular. In practical application, according to the structure of the assembly groove 119, a cylindrical attachment part 159 that is fitted into the assembly groove 119 needs to be installed on one side of the selected air guide plate 150, and the rotational engagement between the attachment part 159 and the assembly groove 119 is realized to realize the rotational engagement between the air guide plate 150 and the housing 110. Since the assembly groove 119 is recessed into the outer wall of the housing 110, the connection structure between the air guide plate 150 and the housing 110 is prevented from protruding outward, improving the overall aesthetics of the housing 110. At the same time, the air guide plate 150 is connected to the matching assembly groove 119 via an arc-shaped portion, minimizing the gap between the mounting portion 159 and the assembly groove 119 and preventing condensation on the outer wall of the housing 110.

In some embodiments, to further ensure the effect of preventing condensation, the lengths of the mounting portion 159 and the air guide plate 150 both correspond to the length of the assembly groove 119. That is, when the mounting portion 159 is fitted into the assembly groove 119, both ends of the mounting portion 159 are flush with the end walls at both ends of the assembly groove 119, and both ends of the air guide plate 150 in the longitudinal direction are flush with the end walls at both ends of the assembly groove 119.

Furthermore, one end of the assembly groove 119 is opened to one end wall of the housing 110 in the horizontal direction, and the other end extends to the other end wall of the housing 110 in the horizontal direction. Both ends of the assembly groove 119 are located on both end walls of the housing 110 in the horizontal direction, respectively, that is, the assembly groove 119 penetrates the housing 110 in the horizontal direction, and after the air guide plate 150 is installed in the assembly groove 119, it is ensured that the air guide plate 150 can be completely and tightly fitted to the outer wall of the housing 110 in the horizontal direction, avoiding the existence of a marginal area and the occurrence of an excessively large gap, and improving the effect of preventing condensation.

In some embodiments, in order to facilitate the transmission connection between the drive device of the indoor unit 100 and the air guide plate 150, to avoid the external installation of the drive device, and to improve concealment and installation, a slot 127 is opened in the groove wall of the assembly groove 119, so that the drive device of the indoor unit 100 can be installed inside the housing 110, and only its output end needs to extend from the slot 127 into the assembly groove 119 to be transmission-connected to the mating roller of the air guide plate 150, thereby realizing the drive for the mating roller and the rotation of the air guide plate 150 in the vertical plane.

2, as is necessary to explain, the housing 110 includes a housing 110 and a panel, and the panel is installed on the surface of the housing 110. A recessed area 172 is recessed in the outer wall of the housing 110, the air outlet 117 is opened in the recessed area 172, and the recessed area 172 is used to fit with the air guide plate 150. In practice, the air guide plate 150 can be stored in a state where the indoor unit 100 is turned off, that is, when the air guide plate 150 is fitted into the recessed area 172, it blocks the air outlet 117 and prevents the air guide plate 150 from protruding from the surface of the housing 110 in the off state, thereby improving the beauty of the indoor unit 100 and effectively preventing dust accumulation at the air outlet 117. The assembly groove 119 may be recessed in the outer wall of the housing 110 or in the outer wall of the panel, and in this embodiment, the assembly groove 119 is recessed in the outer wall of the housing 110 to facilitate processing.

In the housing 110 according to the present embodiment, an assembly groove 119 for mounting the air guide plate 150 is recessed in the outer wall thereof, so that it is possible to accommodate air guide plates 150 of various sizes without being limited by the size of the air outlet 117, and a larger sized air guide plate 150 can be mounted to significantly improve the air guide effect. The assembly groove 119 is recessed in the outer wall of the housing 110, and when the air guide plate 150 and the assembly groove 119 are completely fitted together, the user can clearly observe the rotation process and rotation angle of the air guide plate 150, and can more quickly and appropriately adjust the air guide angle of the air guide plate 150. When the air guide plate 150 and the assembly groove 119 are completely fitted together, the air guide plate 150 is fitted into the outer wall of the housing 110, realizing a tight fit with the outer wall of the housing 110 and avoiding the occurrence of an excessively large gap, thereby avoiding the occurrence of condensation on the outer wall of the housing 110.

Therefore, the housing 110 of this embodiment can accommodate a larger number of sizes of air guide plates 150, and can visualize the rotation process and rotation angle of the air guide plate 150. It also has the effect of preventing condensation, and can significantly improve the user experience.

Referring to FIG. 5, the air guide plate 150 of this embodiment includes an outer plate 210 and an inner liner 220, the inner liner 220 is laminated and bonded to the outer plate 210, and there is a gap 230 between the outer plate 210 and the inner liner 220, the inner liner 220 is used to guide the airflow blown out from the air conditioner's outlet 117, and the outer plate 210 can be used for decoration and to strengthen the structural strength of the air guide plate 150. When the air conditioner heats up, the hot air blown out from the outlet 117 can flow under the guide of the inner liner 220, and due to the blocking of the inner liner 220, the hot air blown out from the outlet 117 does not directly rise to the upper space after leaving the outlet 117, which improves the uniformity of heating in the upper and lower spaces, further improves the heating effect of the air conditioner, and improves the comfort of user use.

Furthermore, the outer plate 210 includes a first arc plate 211, the inner liner 220 includes a second arc plate 221, the first arc plate 211 is connected to the second arc plate 221, and the first arc plate 211 and the second arc plate 221 are joined to form the mounting part 159. When the outer plate 210 is laminated and joined to the inner liner 220, the first arc plate 211 and the second arc plate 221 can be joined to form the mounting part 159, and there is no need to open the mold for the mounting part 159 with a large arc. The arc parts are disassembled and placed on the outer plate 210 and the inner liner 220 to open the mold respectively, thereby reducing the manufacturing difficulty of the mounting part 159, and ensuring that the structure of the air guide plate 150 is simplified and processing and assembly are facilitated. In an optional embodiment, the mounting part 159 is a hollow structure, which saves material and does not affect the strength of the mounting part 159, and can reduce the output required for the drive unit. In addition, the hollow structure makes it easy for the air guide plate 150 to be engaged with the drive device through transmission, and further makes it easy for the drive device to drive the air guide plate 150 to rotate to different operating positions when the air guide plate 150 is used in an air conditioner. For example, an engagement member is installed inside the first arc plate 211, the drive device includes a drive shaft 171, the drive shaft 171 can be extended into the hollow mounting portion 159 and connected to the engagement member, and when the drive shaft 171 rotates, the drive shaft 171 can be used to drive the first arc plate 211, and further the entire air guide plate 150 can be rotated.

Referring to FIG. 6, in this embodiment, the air guide plate 150 further includes a mounting plate 231 and a pivot shaft 232 installed on the mounting plate 231, the mounting plate 231 is fixedly connected to one end of the first arc plate 211 in the longitudinal direction, a pivot hole (not shown) is installed in the housing 110, and the pivot shaft 232 is pivotally fitted into the pivot hole. Furthermore, the driving device is engaged by transmission with the end of the air guide plate 150 away from the pivot shaft 232, so that the air guide plate 150 can be securely installed in the housing 110, and the air guide plate 150 can be reliably rotated by driving the driving device to adjust the air guide direction.

Furthermore, the center of the first arc plate 211 overlaps with the center of the second arc plate 221, and the radius of the first arc plate 211 is equal to the radius of the second arc plate 221. By arranging the first arc plate 211 and the second arc plate 221 so that their radii are equal and their centers overlap, the regularity of the structure of the mounting part 159 where the first arc plate 211 and the second arc plate 221 are joined can be ensured, and the smooth rotation of the air guide plate 150 can be ensured. Furthermore, the arc length of the first arc plate 211 is greater than the arc length of the second arc plate 221, thus allowing the first arc plate 211 to have a larger surface area, which is advantageous for the drive device to realize the transmission connection with the air guide plate 150 through the first arc plate 211. Of course, in other embodiments, the arc length of the first arc plate 211 is less than or equal to the arc length of the second arc plate 221, and is not specifically limited here.

In this embodiment, the inner liner 220 further includes a wind guiding liner 222, one end of which is connected to the end of the second arc plate 221 that is not connected to the first arc plate 211, and the other end of the wind guiding liner 222 is connected to the outer plate 210. The wind guiding liner 222 is used to guide the airflow blown out from the air conditioner's outlet 117 and prevent the airflow from floating up. The wind guiding liner 222 guides the airflow blown out from the air conditioner's outlet 117 and prevents the airflow from floating up, so that when the air conditioner heats up, the hot air does not directly float up to the upper space after leaving the outlet 117, improving the uniformity of heating in the upper and lower spaces, further improving the heating effect of the air conditioner, and improving the comfort of user use. When the air conditioner is cooling, whether it is a vertical air conditioner or a wall-mounted air conditioner, the air outlet 117 of the indoor unit 100 is installed at a high position in the room, so that when the opening angle of the air guide plate 150 is large, under the guidance of the air guide liner 222, the cold air blown out from the air outlet 117 does not flow directly downward into the lower space after leaving the air outlet 117, improving the uniformity of cooling in the upper and lower spaces, further improving the cooling effect of the air conditioner, and improving the comfort of user use. The shape of the air guide liner 222 can be set as needed, and the air guide liner 222 in this embodiment is an arc-shaped plate, and the streamlined air guide liner 222 is used to facilitate better guiding the flow of the airflow blown out from the air outlet 117.

Referring to FIG. 5, the air guide liner 222 further includes a third arc plate 223 and a fourth arc plate 224 connected in sequence, the end of the third arc plate 223 away from the fourth arc plate 224 is connected to the end of the second arc plate 221 that is not connected to the first arc plate 211, the end of the fourth arc plate 224 away from the third arc plate 223 is connected to the outer plate 210, the side of the third arc plate 223 away from the outer plate is concave, and the side of the fourth arc plate 224 away from the outer plate is convex, so that the air guide surface of the air guide liner 222 is approximately S-shaped. In this way, not only can the flow of the airflow blown out of the air outlet 117 be guided, but the air guide liner 222 can also be used to reliably prevent the hot air blown out of the air outlet 117 from rising directly after it leaves the air outlet 117; of course, in other embodiments, the air guide liner 222, which is approximately S-shaped, can also reliably prevent the cold air blown out of the air outlet 117 from moving directly downward after it leaves the air outlet 117. It can be understood that in other embodiments, the air guide liner 222 only includes the third arc plate 223, and the concave surface of the third arc plate 223 is separated from the outer plate 210. Referring to FIG. 7, in other embodiments, the air guide liner 222 can be a straight plate, which can also reliably prevent the hot air coming out of the air outlet 117 from rising, or prevent the cold air coming out of the air outlet 117 from flowing downward.

As should be explained, the inner liner 220 in this embodiment may be integrally molded, that is, the second arc plate 221, the third arc plate 223, and the fourth arc plate 224 are integrally molded; of course, in other embodiments, the connection method between the second arc plate 221, the third arc plate 223, and the fourth arc plate 224 may be adhesive, welding, etc., and is not specifically limited here.

9 and 10, in this embodiment, the air guide plate 150 has a first position and a second position, and the first position and the second position are two limit positions at which the air guide plate rotates within a rotation area arranged in the assembly groove. A position limiting portion 111 is installed on the housing 110, and the position limiting portion 111 includes a first wall surface 113 and a second wall surface 115. A fitting portion 151 is installed on the air guide plate 150. When the air guide plate 150 is in the first position, the fitting portion 151 abuts against the first wall surface 113. When the air guide plate 150 is in the second position, the fitting portion 151 abuts against the second wall surface 115.

In this embodiment, by installing a position limiting portion 111 on the housing 110 and installing a fitting portion 151 on the air guide plate 150, the fitting between the position limiting portion 111 and the fitting portion 151 is utilized to realize a restriction on the air guide plate 150, and the air guide plate 150 is prevented from colliding with the housing 110 and becoming worn, thereby improving the problem of the air guide plate 150 being damaged or generating abnormal noise. When the air guide plate 150 is in the first position, the abutment between the fitting portion 151 and the first wall surface 113 of the position limiting portion 111 is utilized to prevent the air guide plate 150 from colliding with the housing 110 and becoming worn when the air guide plate 150 is in the first position. When the air guide plate 150 is in the second position, the contact between the fitting portion 151 and the second wall surface 115 of the position limiting portion 111 is utilized to prevent the air guide plate 150 from colliding with the housing 110 and becoming worn when the air guide plate 150 is in the second position, and to improve the problem of wear and abnormal noise caused by the air guide plate 150 colliding with the housing 110. In this embodiment, the first position of the air guide plate 150 represents the position when the air guide plate 150 is completely open, and the second position of the air guide plate 150 represents the position when the air guide plate 150 is completely closed.
