The air conditioner comprises a shell and a fan component, the length direction of the shell is the vertical direction, the shell comprises a front shell and a back plate, the front shell is located in front of the back plate, the fan component comprises a cross-flow wind wheel and a cross-flow
volute, and the axis of the cross-flow wind wheel extends in the vertical direction; the cross-flow
volute forms a cross-flow
air channel matched with the cross-flow wind wheel, and at least part of the cross-flow
volute and the back plate form an integrated piece. According to the air conditioner disclosed by the embodiment of the invention, at least part of the cross-flow volute and the back plate form the integrated piece, so that the
assembly steps can be reduced, the
assembly efficiency can be improved, the production takt time can be improved, the size of the air conditioner in the front-back direction can be reduced, the occupied area of the air conditioner can be reduced, and the arrangement of the air conditioner is facilitated. The structural strength of the back plate can be improved, the
structural stability of the air conditioner can be improved, the
material consumption can be reduced, the mold opening cost is saved, and therefore the manufacturing cost of the air conditioner is reduced.
