The first air guide plate 10 is rotatably installed in the air outlet, and is connected to the housing 30 via a first rotating shaft 12 installed in the housing 30. Connected, the second baffle plate 20 is rotatably installed in the air duct, and the second baffle plate 20 rotates via a second rotating shaft 22 installed in the housing 30. The air conditioner 100 has a soft feeling mode, and when the air conditioner 100 is operated in the soft feeling mode, the first baffle plate 10 blocks a part of the blower port, and the second baffle plate. The reference numeral 20 extends along the air blowing passage toward the lower side of the air blowing port.

Specifically, the components of the air conditioner 100 are mounted in the casing 30, and the casing 30 supports and protects the internal components, and is also used for beautifying the appearance. The housing 30 includes a base 31, a frame (not shown in the drawing) and a panel 32. The frame is installed on the base 31, the front side of the frame is open, and the panel 32 is installed on the front side of the frame. A ventilation port is defined between the lower end of the frame and the frame. Specifically, the frame may be rotatably or detachably installed on the base 31, and the panel 32 may be rotatably or detachably installed on the frame. It can be understood that the air conditioner 100 further includes a flap 50, and the flap 50 is rotatably installed in the air blowing passage and controls left and right direction swings to realize left and right air blowing. Will. The air conditioner 100 further includes a fan 40 provided inside the housing 30.

In the embodiment of the present application, a ventilation duct for air circulation is further provided in the casing 30, and the ventilation duct forms a ventilation port on the outer peripheral wall of the casing 30 to allow air conditioning. When is activated, the air is constantly blown into the indoor space through the air outlet to regulate the indoor temperature. The first air guide plate 10 is rotated about the first rotation shaft 12 to realize opening or closing of the blower port. In the present embodiment, the second air guide plate 20 is provided with second air diffuser holes 21 penetrating the plurality of second air guide plates 20, and the second air diffuser holes 21 are the second air guide plates. The second baffle plate 20 is installed along the thickness direction of 20 and is rotatable in the air duct along the second rotating shaft 22. The soft feeling mode is a soft feeling mode, and when the air conditioner 100 operates in the soft feeling mode, the first baffle plate 10 rotates by an angle for blocking a part of the blower port, and The second air guide plate 20 extends toward the lower side of the air outlet along the air passage. In a preferred embodiment, the first baffle plate 10 and the second baffle plate 20 are located at a substantially vertical position, and one end of the first baffle plate 10 at the far side along the blowing direction of the blower port. The one end of the second air guide plate 20 that is farther along the air blowing direction of the air blower and the first rotary shaft 12 are located on substantially the same plane, and the blowing air is the first air guide plate. Blocked by 10, diffuses into the surrounding environment through the second air diffuser holes 21 on the second air guide plate 20, and reduces the air volume and speed of the air outlet. As a result, the wind blown out by the air conditioner 100 is prevented from being blown directly on the human body, and the wind felt by the person is made softer. Furthermore, it avoids a single air conditioner blow and responds to user needs in a wide variety of modes.

Further, when the first baffle plate 10 closes the blower port, a side edge of the first baffle plate 10 near the upper side of the blower port is a first side edge (not shown in the drawing). The side edge of the one air guide plate 10 near the lower side of the air outlet is a second side edge (not shown in the drawing), and the first rotary shaft 12 extends toward the first side edge and extends toward the first surface.

In this state, the wind speed of the wind emerging from the air blowing passage is relatively low and the air volume is not large. Since the wind is blocked by the first baffle plate 10, it is avoided that the wind is blown directly on the human body. The wind diffuses around the first baffle plate 10 to make the wind more gentle. It is more easily accepted by the user and brings a comfortable feeling to the user.

Further, when the air conditioner 100 is in the soft feeling mode, when the range of α is 30°≦α≦40°, the distance between the first side edge and the upper edge of the blower opening is M. , And the range of M is 65 mm-70 mm, or when the air conditioner 100 is operated in the soft feeling mode, the distance between the second side edge and the lower edge of the blower opening is N, and The range of N is 15 mm-25 mm. When the air conditioner operates in the soft feeling mode, the action of the first baffle plate 10 makes it easier to soften the wind emerging from the air duct. At this time, when the air blown from the air conditioner 100 diffuses along the first air guide plate 10, the wind speed and the air volume coming out from the air blower opening are reduced, so that the user can easily feel a soft wind.

As shown in FIG. 2, the air conditioner further has a cooling/heating mode, and when the air conditioner operates in the cooling/heating mode, the first baffle plate is completely retracted from the blower port, The range of α is 65°≦α≦90°. In the embodiment of the present application, the second operation mode is a cooling/heating mode, and the first air guide plate 10 and the second air guide plate 20 rotate to a position substantially parallel to the air blowing direction of the air blowing passage. .. At this time, a side edge of the first air guide plate 10 near the air blow port upper side is a first side edge, and a side edge of the first air guide plate 10 near the air blow port lower side is a second side edge. , The first rotary shaft 12 extends toward the first side edge to form a first surface, and the first rotary shaft 12 extends toward the upper edge of the blower opening to form a second surface. , Α is the included angle between the first surface and the second surface. That is, with the state in which the first air guide plate completely closes the blower opening as the initial position, the angle at which the first air guide plate 10 rotates about the first rotation axis 12 from the initial position is α, When the range of the rotation angle α of the first baffle plate 10 is 65°≦α≦90°, in this state, inside the air duct of the first baffle plate 10 and the second baffle plate 20. The hindrance to the wind is relatively weak. As a result, the wind speed and volume of the air coming out of the air duct are relatively large, which is convenient for rapidly changing the temperature of the surrounding environment.

Furthermore, when the air conditioner operates in the cooling/heating mode, the range of the distance M between the first side edge and the upper edge of the blower opening is 95 mm-110 mm. Alternatively, when the air conditioner operates in the cooling/heating mode, the range of the distance N between the second side edge and the housing edge below the blower opening is 25 mm-45 mm. In the present embodiment, when the air conditioner 100 operates in the cooling/heating mode and the range of α is 65°≦α≦90°, the range of M is 95 mm-110 mm, or the range of N is 25 mm. -45 mm. This makes it easier to adjust the wind speed and air volume coming out of the air outlet. At this time, since the airflow of the air conditioner 100 is less hindered by the first air guide plate 10, the wind speed of the air emerging from the airflow passage is increased, the air volume is increased, and the temperature in the room is quickly adjusted.

In the embodiment of the present application, the first air guide plate 10 is provided with air diffuser holes 11 that penetrate the first air guide plate 10 in the thickness direction. The length of the air diffuser 11 in the opening direction is equal to the thickness of the first air guide plate 10. Alternatively, the length of the air diffuser hole 11 in the opening direction is larger than the thickness of the first air guide plate 10. The diameter of the air diffuser hole 11 gradually increases along the direction from the inside of the first air guide plate 10 to the outside of the first air guide plate 10. The structure is simple, and it is convenient for the wind in the air flow passage to diffuse from the air diffuser holes 11 of the first air guide plate 10 to the surroundings.

The present application further proposes a control method of the air conditioner 100. The air conditioner 100 is the air conditioner 100, and the air conditioner 100 includes a soft feeling mode and a cooling/heating mode. The air conditioner 100 can switch between the soft feeling mode and the cooling/heating mode. When the 100 operates in the soft feeling mode, the first baffle plate 10 blocks a part of the air blow port, and the second baffle plate 20 faces the lower side of the air blow port along the air blow passage. When the first baffle plate 10 closes the blower port, the side edge of the first baffle plate 10 close to the upper side of the blower port is a first side edge, and the side of the first baffle plate is The side edge near the blower port lower side is the second side edge, the first rotary shaft 12 extends toward the first side edge to form a first surface, and the first rotary shaft 12 is the blower port. When the second surface extends toward the upper edge and the angle between the first surface and the second surface is α, the range of α is 30°≦α≦40°, and the air conditioner is When operating in the cooling/heating mode, the first air guide plate 10 is completely retracted from the air outlet, and the range of α is 65°≦α≦90°.
