  • Patent number: 12540753
    Abstract: The ducted type air conditioner provided by the present disclosure, including a shell, an air opening being formed in the shell; a fan, rotatably arranged in the shell; and a water-receiving disk, arranged in the shell and located between the fan and the air opening; in the case that the air opening serves as an air inlet, the orientation of an air-absorbing opening of the fan inclines upwards relative to a horizontal direction; or in the case that the air opening serves as an air outlet, the orientation of an exhaust opening of the fan inclines upwards relative to a horizontal direction.

  • Publication number: 20250327585
    Abstract: An air conditioner including a rotatable fan, which includes a rotatable volute and a motor arranged inside the volute. The motor is electrically connected with a power supply component through a motor wire. The motor wire includes a first wire segment connected with the motor directly, and arranged on the volute and moving synchronously with the volute; and a second wire segment electrically connected with the power supply component, electrically connected with the first wire segment through a rotation node which is located outside the volute, and having a preserved length to allow the volute to rotate to drive the wire body to move. The air conditioner in the present disclosure effectively solves the problem of wire loss caused by twisting of the motor wires for the rotatable fans in the air conditioner.

  • Patent number: 11333391
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an air port component and an air conditioner, wherein the air port component includes a first plate body and a second plate body, wherein two longitudinal ends of the first plate body and the second plate body are elastically connected respectively. When the working environment temperature difference is relatively large, even if the difference between the linear expansion coefficients of materials used by the two plate bodies is relatively large, extension or shrinkage generated between the plate bodies due to temperature changes is be compensated by the elastic connection so as to reduce the degree of plastic deformation of the plate bodies due to temperature changes after being used for a period of time, thereby improving the reliability of the operation of the air port component, preventing blockage during the operation, as well as ensuring that the airflow of the air outlet meets the design requirements to prevent condensation due to local overcooling.
