[0032] Reference below Figure 1-Figure 5 The air conditioner indoor unit 10 according to the embodiment of the present invention is described.

[0033] like Figure 1-Figure 5As shown, the air-conditioning indoor unit 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a casing 1 and an air-guiding component 2. The casing 1 may include a front panel 11 and a horizontal bottom plate 12. An inclined plate 13 is provided between the front panel 11 and the horizontal bottom plate 12. An air outlet 131 and an accessory device 132 are provided on the inclined plate 13. The air-guiding component 2 is provided at the air outlet 131. Such an arrangement can make the shape of the air-conditioning indoor unit 10 more novel and beautiful, and can also make the layout of the air-conditioning indoor unit 10 more reasonable. The wind in the air-conditioning indoor unit 10 can be discharged into the room from the air outlet 131. The air-guiding component 2 has a guiding effect on the wind at the air outlet 131, and can introduce the wind in the air-conditioning indoor unit 10 into the room.

[0034] In an embodiment of the present invention, the accessory device 132 can be used to display the operating status of the air-conditioning indoor unit 10. For example, the accessory device 132 can be a display control panel, which can display the operating status of the air-conditioning indoor unit 10, such as the operating mode, set temperature, set time and other information of the air-conditioning indoor unit 10. During the use of the air-conditioning indoor unit 10, the user can understand the operating status of the air-conditioning indoor unit 10 according to the accessory device 132, so that the user can intuitively know the operating status of the air-conditioning indoor unit 10, thereby improving the performance of the air-conditioning indoor unit 10.

[0035] According to an embodiment of the present invention, by arranging both the air outlet 131 and the accessory device 132 on the inclined plate 13, the space on the inclined plate 13 can be reasonably and effectively utilized. Compared with the prior art in which the accessory device is arranged on the front panel, in an embodiment of the present invention, by arranging the accessory device 132 on the inclined plate 13, the front panel 11 can be formed as a whole plate. The structure of the front panel 11 is smooth and free of complicated parts. Therefore, the structure of the entire air-conditioning indoor unit 10 is simple and the layout is reasonable. The shape of the air-conditioning indoor unit 10 is more novel and beautiful, and the user can also intuitively know the operating status of the air-conditioning indoor unit 10.

[0036] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, Figure 2 As shown, the housing 1 may be provided with a wind wheel 3 and an electric control box 4, the air outlet 131 is provided corresponding to the wind wheel 3, and the accessory device 132 is provided corresponding to the electric control box 4, that is, for example Figure 2 In the front view shown, the wind wheel 3 is located directly above the air outlet 131 , and the electric control box 4 is located directly above the accessory device 132 .

[0037] The wind wheel 3 is arranged correspondingly to the air outlet 131. When the wind wheel 3 rotates, it can drive the air to be discharged directly from the air outlet 131, so as to ensure that the wind flows into the room quickly and reduce the wind resistance. The electric control box 4 is arranged correspondingly to the accessory device 132. Since the air outlet is generally not arranged below the electric control box 4, the accessory device 132 is arranged at the position of the inclined plate 13 below the electric control box 4, so that the space of the inclined plate 13 below the electric control box 4 can be reasonably and effectively used, and the structural layout of the air conditioner indoor unit 10 is more beautiful and reasonable. The front panel 11 has a smooth structure without complicated parts, so that the structure of the entire air conditioner indoor unit 10 is simple.

[0038] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the center of the accessory device 132 coincides with the horizontal center line of the air outlet 131, so that the position arrangement of the accessory device 132 and the air outlet 131 can be more beautiful, the accessory device 132 can be set in the best working position, the working performance of the accessory device 132 can be improved, and the user can more conveniently observe the accessory device 132, and the structure is more beautiful.

[0039] In some embodiments of the present invention, the air outlet 131 is oblong and the accessory device 132 is oblong, so that the outer shape of the accessory device can be consistent with the outer shape of the air outlet 131, and the appearance is more beautiful; in other embodiments of the present invention, the air outlet 131 is rectangular and the accessory device 132 is rectangular, so that the outer shape of the accessory device can be consistent with the outer shape of the air outlet 131, and the appearance is more beautiful.

[0040] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 2-Figure 3 As shown, the air guide component 2 may include an air guide plate 21, which is rotatably disposed at the air outlet 131 to open and close the air outlet 131. The accessory device 132 may be disposed at the end side of the inclined plate 13 located at the air guide plate 21, for example Figure 2-Figure 3 As shown, the accessory device 132 can be arranged on the right side of the wind deflector 21.

[0041] In other embodiments of the present invention, Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the air guide component 2 may include: a mounting plate 22 and an air dispersion component 23, the mounting plate 22 is arranged at the air outlet 131, and at least one air dispersion hole 221 is provided on the mounting plate 22, the outer contour shape of the accessory device 132 is the same as the outer contour shape of the air dispersion hole 221, and the accessory device 132 cooperates with the air dispersion hole 221. Such an arrangement can further enhance the aesthetics of the casing 1.

[0042] The air dispersion component 23 can be embedded in the air dispersion hole 221, wherein the accessory device 132 is installed in the air dispersion hole 221 near the end of the mounting plate 22, and the air dispersion component 23 is installed in the remaining air dispersion holes 221, thereby facilitating the electrical control wiring of the accessory device 132, thereby improving the stability of the control of the accessory device 132 by the air conditioner indoor unit 10.

[0043] In the embodiment of the present invention, the wind dispersion component 23 can make the wind blown out of the air conditioner indoor unit 10 diffuse and flow. Specifically, the air conditioner indoor unit 10 is adjusted to be in the windless mode. The air flow blown out of the air conditioner indoor unit 10 passes through the wind dispersion component 23 on the mounting plate 22 and diffuses into the indoor environment in a turbulent form. Inside the air conditioner indoor unit 10, when the air flow flows toward the mounting plate 22, the air flow first flows through the wind dispersion component 23. The wind dispersion component 23 can change the flow direction of the air flow to make it flow in a turbulent form, so that the user can feel a relatively soft air flow at a position close to the mounting plate 22, and the user can hardly feel the air flow at a position far from the mounting plate 22, thereby achieving the windless effect of the air conditioner indoor unit 10.

[0044] Optionally, there may be a plurality of air dispersion holes 221, and the centers of the plurality of air dispersion holes 221 and the center of the accessory device 132 are located on the same straight line. Such an arrangement can make the arrangement of the accessory device 132 more reasonable, the appearance of the air conditioner indoor unit 10 more beautiful, and can further improve the working performance of the air conditioner indoor unit 10. In addition, by providing a plurality of air dispersion holes 221, the plurality of air dispersion components 23 work together, and in the same time, the amount of wind flowing into the room from the air conditioner indoor unit 10 can be increased, so that the indoor temperature can reach the user's requirements as soon as possible, and the working efficiency of the air conditioner indoor unit 10 can be improved.

[0045] Furthermore, there may be a plurality of air diffusion holes 221, and the plurality of air diffusion holes 221 are arranged in a line in the horizontal direction, and the distance between two adjacent air diffusion holes 221 is equal to the distance between the accessory device 132 and the adjacent air diffusion hole 221. Such an arrangement enables the accessory device 132 and the plurality of air diffusion holes 221 to be evenly arranged on the air conditioning indoor unit 10, thereby improving the overall structural consistency of the air conditioning indoor unit 10.

[0046] It should be noted that the mounting plate 22 can be rotated relative to the air outlet 131, so that the mounting plate 22 can be used to open and close the air outlet 131, and then the mounting plate 22 can be used to guide the wind. Specifically, the mounting plate 22 can change the state according to the demand. For example, when the air conditioner indoor unit 10 is in a stopped state, the mounting plate 22 can block and close the air outlet 131; when the air conditioner indoor unit 10 needs to blow air into the environment where it is located and the mounting plate 22 opens the air outlet 131, the wind can be blown out directly from the air outlet 131; when the air conditioner indoor unit 10 needs to blow air into the environment where it is located and the mounting plate 22 closes the air outlet 131, the wind can be blown out through the wind dispersion component 23. The wind blown out through the wind dispersion component 23 flows in a diffused manner, so that the flow direction of the wind can be changed, so that the wind flows in different directions, thereby preventing the wind from blowing directly to the human body, thereby achieving the windless effect of the air conditioner indoor unit 10.

[0047] Of course, optionally, the mounting plate 22 may also be fixed to the air outlet 131 and not rotate, and the air outlet of the air conditioner indoor unit 10 is only blown out through the air dispersion component 23 .

[0048] In some optional embodiments of the present invention, Figure 4-Figure 5 As shown, the wind dispersion component 23 may include a wind wheel 3, which is rotatably arranged in the wind dispersion hole 221, wherein the wind in the air-conditioning indoor unit 10 can be delivered into the room during the rotation of the wind wheel 3, which can increase the rate at which the wind in the air-conditioning indoor unit 10 flows into the room, and the rotation axis of the wind wheel 3 is perpendicular to the mounting plate 22. Such an arrangement can enable the wind wheel 3 to reach an optimal working state, and can better enable the wind in the air-conditioning indoor unit 10 to flow into the room, thereby improving the working performance of the wind wheel 3.

[0049] In some other optional embodiments of the present invention, the wind dispersion component 23 may include a wind dispersion grille (not shown), which is rotatably disposed in the wind dispersion hole 221, wherein the rotation axis of the wind dispersion grille is parallel to the mounting plate 22. It should be noted that the wind dispersion grille structure has the advantages of simple structure, good wind dispersion effect, and low production cost. The wind dispersion grille structure can improve the windless effect of the air conditioner indoor unit 10.

[0050] In some embodiments of the present invention, the accessory device 132 may include a display screen 1322 and / or decorative parts. It should be noted that the accessory device 132 may include only the display screen 1322, or only the decorative parts, or both the display screen 1322 and the decorative parts. The shape of the display screen 1322 may be set to be circular, square, or other shapes that match the shape of the air outlet 131. The display screen 1322 may be an LED (Light Emitting Diode) screen or a liquid crystal display screen 1322. The decorative parts can make the accessory device 132 more beautiful.

[0051] The accessory device 132 may further include an indicator light 1321, and the display screen 1322 and the indicator light 1321 are both disposed on the inclined plate 13. The indicator light 1321 is formed as an annular indicator light 1321, and the display screen 1322 is disposed inside the annular indicator light 1321. That is, the annular indicator light 1321 surrounds the outer periphery of the display screen 1322. To facilitate the user to observe the operating status of the air conditioner indoor unit 10, the indicator light 1321 may have different indication colors or flashing frequencies. For example, when the air conditioner indoor unit 10 is in a cooling state, the indicator light 1321 may display blue or other cold colors; when the air conditioner indoor unit 10 is in a heating state, the indicator light 1321 may display yellow or other warm colors. Of course, the use of the indicator light 1321 is not limited thereto. In addition, the indicator light 1321 may also be used to indicate air quality information. For example, when the air quality is good, the indicator light 1321 may display green, and when the air quality is poor, the indicator light 1321 may display red. Such a setting allows the user to quickly understand the quality of the air.
