Abstract

An air conditioner is provided. The air conditioner has a housing, an air duct part, an air guide component and a light emitting component. The housing is provided with an air outlet. The air duct part is provided within the housing and defines an air duct. The air duct part is provided with an air duct outlet in communication with the air duct. The air duct outlet is opposite to and in communication with the air outlet. The air guide component is provided at the air duct outlet. The light emitting component is located downstream of the air guide component in an air flow direction and has a light emitting body that is opposite to the air duct outlet and the air outlet.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An air conditioner comprising:
 a housing having an air outlet;   an air duct component within the housing, wherein the air duct component defines an air duct and comprises an air duct outlet in communication with the air duct, the air duct outlet being opposite to and in communication with the air outlet;   an air guide component at the air duct outlet; and   a light emitting component downstream of the air guide component along an air flow direction, wherein the light emitting component comprises a light emitting body opposite to the air duct outlet and the air outlet.   
     
     
         2 . The air conditioner according to  claim 1 , wherein:
 the air duct comprises a first air duct and a second air duct, and the first air duct is in the second air duct;   the air duct outlet comprises a first air duct opening in communication with the first air duct and a second air duct opening in communication with the second air duct, wherein the second air duct opening surrounds the first air duct opening; and   the light emitting body is between the first air duct opening and the second air duct opening.   
     
     
         3 . The air conditioner according to  claim 2 , wherein the light emitting body is formed as a ring and surrounds the first air duct opening. 
     
     
         4 . The air conditioner according to  claim 2 , wherein the air duct component comprises:
 a first air outlet frame having the air duct outlet;   a second air outlet frame coupled to the first air outlet frame to define the second air duct; and   a third air outlet frame in the second air duct and defining the first air duct,   wherein the air duct outlet comprises the first air duct opening in communication with the first air duct, and the second air duct opening in communication with the second air duct, and   wherein the second air duct opening surrounds the first air duct opening.   
     
     
         5 . The air conditioner according to  claim 4 , wherein the third air outlet frame is opposite to the air outlet, the first air duct is parallel to a center line of the air outlet, and the light emitting body is opposite to the third air outlet frame. 
     
     
         6 . The air conditioner according to  claim 4 , wherein the light emitting component is detachably coupled to the first air outlet frame. 
     
     
         7 . The air conditioner according to  claim 6 , wherein the light emitting body comprises:
 a base having a mounting cavity and detachably coupled to the first air outlet frame; and   a light emitting device in the mounting cavity.   
     
     
         8 . The air conditioner according to  claim 7 , wherein:
 a plurality of positioning posts are formed on a bottom wall of the mounting cavity and spaced apart from one another, and the mounting cavity has positioning holes fitted with the positioning posts; and   the number of positioning holes is equal to the number of positioning posts, and the positioning holes and the positioning posts are in one-to-one correspondence.   
     
     
         9 . The air conditioner according to  claim 7 , wherein the light emitting body further comprises a light guiding cover shielding an open end of the mounting cavity, and the light emitting device is in a space defined by the base and the light guiding cover together. 
     
     
         10 . The air conditioner according to  claim 7 , wherein:
 the light emitting component further comprises a plurality of support arms spaced apart from one another; and   a first end of each support arm is coupled to the base, and a second end of each support arm is detachably coupled to the first air outlet frame.   
     
     
         11 . The air conditioner according to  claim 10 , wherein the plurality of support arms and the base are an integral part. 
     
     
         12 . The air conditioner according to  claim 10 , wherein the plurality of support arms comprises a first support arm, a first side of the first support arm facing the air duct component has a first wiring slot, and the first wiring slot extends along a length direction of the first support arm. 
     
     
         13 . The air conditioner according to  claim 12 , wherein a circumferential wall of the second duct opening has a notch, and the first support arm passes through the notch. 
     
     
         14 . The air conditioner according to  claim 13 , wherein a second side of the first support arm away from the first air outlet frame has a protrusion, and a free end of the protrusion is flush with an axial end of the circumferential wall of the second air duct opening to fill the notch. 
     
     
         15 . The air conditioner according to  claim 13 , wherein:
 the air guide component comprises a support plate downstream of the third air outlet frame along the air flow direction;   a second support arm is on the support plate, and a side of the second support arm facing the third air outlet frame comprises a first mounting groove extending along a length direction of the second support arm;   a third support arm opposite to the second support arm is on the third air outlet frame, and a side of the third support arm facing the support plate comprises a second mounting groove extending along a length direction of the third support arm;   the second support arm and the third support arm are coupled; and   the first mounting groove and the second mounting groove together define a second wiring slot, and the second wiring slot is in communication with the first wiring slot.   
     
     
         16 . The air conditioner according to  claim 15 , wherein:
