The inner frame 200 is arranged in the outer shell 100 and encloses a cavity with the back plate 110; the air duct assembly 300 is arranged in the cavity. The panel assembly includes a large panel 120 and a small panel 130, wherein the large panel 120 is provided with an accommodating window 121, and the small panel 130 is installed in the accommodating window 121, and the small panel 130 is provided with an air outlet 131 corresponding to the air duct assembly 300, and the small panel 130 can be opened relative to the inner frame 200.

[0039] Specifically, in this embodiment, the air conditioning cabinet includes an axial flow air conditioning cabinet and a cross-flow air conditioning cabinet. The cross-flow air conditioning cabinet is taken as an example below. The back plate 110 and the panel assembly are enclosed to form a housing 100. The housing 100 has many shapes, such as a rectangular parallelepiped or a cylindrical shape. The cylindrical shape is mainly taken as an example below. Figure 1 As shown, the back plate 110 and the panel assembly are both arranged in an arc-shaped plate, and the two are enclosed to form a cylindrical shell 100. An air inlet is provided on the back plate 110, and an air inlet grille is installed at the air inlet. An air outlet 131 is provided on the small panel 130 of the panel assembly. The inner frame 200 is arranged inside the shell 100 and encloses the back plate 110 to form a cavity for accommodating the heat exchanger and the air duct assembly 300. After the outside air enters the air conditioner cabinet from the air inlet, it passes through the heat exchanger and the air duct assembly 300 in sequence, and is then transported to the user through the air outlet 131 to achieve a cooling or heating effect. Among them, there are many shapes of the air inlet and the air outlet 131, such as circular, elliptical or long strip, etc. In this embodiment, the air outlet 131 is preferably a rectangle extending in the height direction of the air conditioner cabinet.

[0040] The inner frame 200 and the back plate 110 can be fixed by a detachable connection method such as screw connection or snap connection, or can be fixed by bonding or integral molding. The small panel 130 can be opened relative to the inner frame 200. There are many ways to open the small panel 130. For example, the small panel 130 can be installed on the large panel 120 in a detachable manner (such as snap fixation, magnetic fixation), and it can be removed as a whole when it needs to be opened; or the small panel 130 can also be connected to the large panel 120 or the inner frame 200 by a rotational connection, so that it can be rotated relative to the inner frame 200 to open. The air duct assembly 300 includes a volute, a wind wheel, a motor, and an air outlet frame. When the small panel 130 is opened, the air duct assembly 300 arranged in the inner frame 200 is exposed, and the user can wipe and clean the air duct assembly 300, or disassemble the air duct assembly 300 in whole or in part.

[0041] The technical solution of the present invention is to install the small panel 130 in the receiving window 121 of the large panel 120 by setting the large panel 120 and the small panel 130, and the small panel 130 can be opened relative to the inner frame 200. In this way, when the air conditioner is operating normally, the small panel 130 overlaps with the large panel 120, and the cold air or hot air processed by the air conditioner cabinet can be sent out from the air outlet 131 of the small panel 130. When it is necessary to clean and maintain the air duct assembly 300 inside the air conditioner cabinet, it is only necessary to open the small panel 130 relative to the inner frame 200, so that the corresponding part of the inner frame 200 and the air duct assembly 300 arranged in the inner frame 200 can be exposed, and the user can clean the inner frame 200 and the air duct assembly 300. The air conditioner cabinet of the present invention effectively improves the convenience of opening the panel, which is convenient for the user to clean and maintain the air duct assembly 300 inside the air conditioner cabinet in a targeted manner.

[0042] Furthermore, the large panel 120 is movably mounted on the inner frame 200 or the back plate 110 , and can be opened relative to the inner frame 200 .

[0043] In this embodiment, the large panel 120 can be installed on the inner frame 200 by a sliding connection, or can be installed on the inner frame 200 or the back panel 110 by a rotating connection, and the large panel 120 can be opened relative to the inner frame 200. In this way, after the large panel 120 is opened, the display component, electronic control component 400, water tray, etc. inside the air-conditioning cabinet can be exposed to facilitate overall cleaning and maintenance of the interior of the air-conditioning cabinet.

[0044] Furthermore, there are multiple ways to connect the large panel 120 and the small panel 130.
