In the present embodiment, the type of the air conditioner indoor unit 10 is not limited, and may be selected as needed. For example, the air conditioner indoor unit 10 may be a floor air conditioner indoor unit 10 or a wall-mounted air conditioner indoor unit 10. As a specific example, as shown in fig. 1 and 5, the type of the air conditioner indoor unit 10 is a wall-mounted air conditioner indoor unit 10.
In the present embodiment, the relative positions of the first outlet portion 310 and the second outlet portion 320 on the casing 300 are not limited, and may be selected as required. For example, as shown in fig. 5, the first outlet portion 310 and the second outlet portion 320 are disposed at a lateral interval, and it is apparent that this is merely exemplary and not exclusive. For example, the first outlet portion 310 and the second outlet portion 320 are disposed at intervals in the vertical direction and at intervals in the oblique direction. For example, the first outlet portion 310 is provided at the front side, and the second outlet portion 320 is provided at one of the lateral sides.
In the present embodiment, the structures, shapes, and the like of the first outlet portion 310 and the second outlet portion 320 are not limited, and may be selected as needed. For example, as shown in fig. 5, the first outlet portion 310 includes a plurality of outlets arranged in an array. It will be apparent that this is by way of example only and not by way of example only. For example, the first outlet portion 310 includes a plurality of randomly arranged outlets. The first outlet portion 310 includes an outlet or the like. For example, as shown in fig. 5, the second outlet portion 320 includes a plurality of outlets arranged in an array. It will be apparent that this is by way of example only and not by way of example only. For example, the second outlet portion 320 includes a plurality of randomly arranged outlets. The second outlet portion 320 includes an outlet or the like.
In this embodiment, the specific detection mode of the detection device 500 is not limited, and may be selected according to need. For example, the detection device 500 may include an infrared sensor for detecting whether or not the area subtended by the first outlet portion 310 is occupied. For example, the detection device 500 may include a camera for detecting whether or not the area subtended by the first outlet 310 is occupied. The detection device 500 is also provided with a timer or the like to send a first signal when the time of a person in the area subtended by the first outlet 310 exceeds a preset time. In this embodiment, the preset time is not limited and may be selected as needed.
In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, the first passage 420 may be facing the first outlet portion 310 and the second passage 430 may be facing the second outlet portion 320. It will be apparent that this is by way of example only and not by way of example only. For example, the first passage 420 is disposed obliquely with respect to the first outlet portion 310, and the second passage 430 is disposed obliquely with respect to the second outlet portion 320. As shown in fig. 1, when the first outlet portion 310 and the second outlet portion 320 are disposed at a lateral interval along the front side of the casing 300, the first passage 420 faces the first outlet portion 310, that is, the first passage 420 extends rearward from the first outlet portion 310. The second passage 430 faces the second outlet portion 320, i.e., the second passage 430 extends rearward from the second outlet portion 320.
As shown in fig. 1, when the first passage 420 faces the first outlet portion 310 and the second passage 430 faces the second outlet portion 320, the relative positional relationship between the first passage 420 and the second passage 430 coincides with the relative positional relationship between the first outlet portion 310 and the second outlet portion 320. That is, as shown in fig. 1, the first outlet portion 310 and the second outlet portion 320 are disposed at a lateral interval, and the first passage 420 and the second passage 430 are also disposed at a lateral interval.
In the present embodiment, the shape of the first housing 110 is not limited, and may be selected as needed. As a specific example, as shown in fig. 3, the first housing 110 has a cylindrical shape. It will be apparent that this is by way of example only and not by way of example only. For example, the first housing 110 may be a semi-cylindrical shape or a segment of an arc-shaped housing.
The first housing 110 is shaped in an arc adapted to the arc-shaped slot 410 such that it can rotate along the arc-shaped slot 410, i.e. the first housing 110 is arranged within the arc-shaped slot 410 and the first housing 110 rotates against the arc-shaped slot 410.
In the present embodiment, the shape of the second housing is not limited, and it can be matched with the first housing 110 to form a cavity for accommodating the humidifying fluid. As a specific embodiment, as shown in fig. 4, the second housing includes a first bottom surface 121 and a second bottom surface 122. For example, if the first housing 110 has a semi-cylindrical shape, the second housing includes a first bottom surface 121, a second bottom surface 122, planar side surfaces, and the like.
In the present embodiment, the shape of the third outlet portion 111 is not limited, and may be selected as needed. As shown in fig. 3, the third outlet portion 111 includes a plurality of outlets arranged in an array, and it is apparent that this is only exemplary and not exclusive. For example, the third outlet portion 111 includes a plurality of outlets arranged in a random manner, and the third outlet portion 111 includes one outlet or the like. The third outlet portion 111 is for outputting the humidified fluid in the chamber to the outside of the chamber.
In the present embodiment, the specific components included in the delivery assembly 200 are not limited, and the delivery assembly 200 can be used to deliver humidification fluid into the chamber. As a specific example, as shown in fig. 4, delivery assembly 200 includes a delivery tube 210 and a humidification cartridge 220, with delivery tube 210 in communication with the chamber, it should be apparent that this is by way of example only and not by way of limitation. For example, the delivery assembly 200 includes only one delivery tube 210, etc.
In the present embodiment, the first housing 110 is configured to rotate to bring the third outlet portion 111 into communication with the second end of the first passage 420 or to bring the third outlet portion 111 into communication with the second end of the second passage 430, i.e., the first housing 110 is configured to rotate to bring the third outlet portion 111 into facing relation to the second end of the first passage 420 or to the second end of the second passage 430.
In the present embodiment, since the casing 300 of the air conditioner indoor unit 10 has the first outlet portion 310 and the second outlet portion 320, the first casing 110 has the third outlet portion 111. The third outlet portion 111 can be rotated into communication with the first outlet portion 310 or into communication with the second outlet portion 320. This allows the humidified fluid to flow out of the first outlet 310 or out of the second outlet 320. The third outlet portion 111 of the first housing 110 is configured to rotate from communication with the second end of the first passage 420 to communication with the second end of the second passage 430 upon receipt of the first signal. This allows the outflow directions of the humidifying fluid of the humidifying device and the air conditioner indoor unit 10 to be diversified, and avoids excessive local humidity in the space. This avoids the discomfort of the human body caused by excessive contact of the humidified fluid with the human body.
In other embodiments, the third outlet portion 111 of the first housing 110 is configured to rotate from communicating with the second end of the second channel 430 to communicating with the second end of the first channel 420 when the receiving of the first signal is stopped. The third outlet portion 111 of the first housing 110 stops receiving the first signal, that is, the detection device 500 detects that the person leaves the corresponding area of the first outlet portion 310 from the corresponding area of the first outlet portion 310, and the detection device 500 stops transmitting the first signal. The third outlet portion 111 of the first housing 110 now rotates from communication with the second end of the second channel 430 to communication with the second end of the first channel 420, i.e. the humidifying fluid again flows out of the first outlet portion 310.
In other embodiments, the type of the air conditioner indoor unit 10 is a wall-mounted air conditioner indoor unit 10, and the first outlet portion 310 is disposed at the front side of the cabinet 300; the second outlet portion 320 is provided at one of both lateral sides of the cabinet 300, that is, the second outlet portion 320 is located at the left or right side of the cabinet 300.
In other embodiments, as shown in fig. 1 to 5, the first outlet portion 310 and the second outlet portion 320 are disposed at a front side of the cabinet 300 at a lateral interval along the cabinet 300.
In other embodiments, the first housing 110 is cylindrical in shape. The second housing includes a first bottom surface 121 and a second bottom surface 122. The first bottom surface 121 covers the first end of the cylindrical first housing 110; the second bottom surface 122 covers the second end of the cylindrical first housing 110 to form a cavity.
In other embodiments, the delivery assembly 200 includes a delivery tube 210. The conveying pipe 210 is arranged through the first bottom surface 121 or the second bottom surface 122 to communicate with the cavity, and is used for enabling the first shell 110 to rotate relative to the first shell 110 so as to enable the first shell 110 to rotate along the arc-shaped groove 410; the rotation axes of the delivery pipe 210 and the first housing 110 are on the same straight line with the central axis of the first housing 110. As shown in fig. 4, the central axis of the first housing 110 passes through the center of the first bottom surface 121 and the center of the second bottom surface 122. The rotation axes of the delivery pipe 210 and the first housing 110 are aligned with the central axis of the first housing 110, so that the structure of the indoor unit 10 of the air conditioner is simple and compact.
In other embodiments, the first housing 110 is disposed in a vertical direction and the first bottom surface 121 is located at a lower end of the first housing 110; the upper end of the delivery pipe 210 is penetrated through the first bottom 121 to communicate with the cavity. This makes the structure of the air conditioner indoor unit 10 simple and compact.
In other embodiments, the delivery assembly 200 includes a humidification cartridge 220. The humidification chamber 220 has a shape adapted to the shape of the first housing 110, and an upper bottom 221 thereof is disposed on the first bottom 121 and fixedly connected to the lower end of the delivery pipe 210 for delivering the humidification fluid into the chamber. This makes the structure of the air conditioner indoor unit 10 simple and compact.
In other embodiments, the central axis of the arcuate slot 410, the axis of rotation of the first housing 110, and the central axis of the first housing 110 are collinear. This makes the structure of the air conditioner indoor unit 10 simple and compact.
In other embodiments, the first channel 420 is opposite the first outlet portion 310 and the second channel 430 is opposite the second outlet portion 320. As shown in fig. 1, when the first outlet portion 310 and the second outlet portion 320 are disposed at intervals along the lateral front side of the casing 300, the first passage 420 faces the first outlet portion 310, that is, the first passage 420 extends rearward from the first outlet portion 310. The second passage 430 faces the second outlet portion 320, i.e., the second passage 430 extends rearward from the second outlet portion 320. When the second outlet portion 320 is located at one of the lateral sides of the casing 300, the second passage 430 faces the second outlet portion 320, that is, the second passage 430 extends laterally from the second outlet portion 320.
