[0035] Therefore, the present invention sets a mounting hole for accommodating the voice drive box 21 on the middle frame 1, and sets the voice drive box 21 between the middle frame 1 and the end cover 3. On the one hand, the space between the middle frame 1 and the end cover 3 is fully utilized, so that the voice drive box 21 does not occupy additional space, and there is no need to increase the volume of the air conditioner, thereby improving the aesthetics of the air conditioner; on the other hand, the voice drive box 21 is close to the electric control box, which reduces the length of the line and the complexity of the connection.

[0036] See attached Figure 4 , the first side surface 2111 of the voice drive box 21 is plugged into the middle frame 1.

[0037] Therefore, the present invention limits the left and right movement of one side of the voice driver box 21 by plugging the voice driver box 21 and the middle frame 1, replacing the screw connection, and the installation is convenient and quick.

[0038] In a specific embodiment, the first side surface 2111 of the voice-driven box 21 may include a U-shaped structure, and the U-shaped structure is plugged into the middle frame 1 to limit the left and right movement of one side of the voice-driven box 21.

[0039] Preferably, see Appendix Figure 3 and 4 The first side surface 2111 of the voice drive box 21 is provided with at least two protrusions 211, and the corresponding positions of the first mounting hole 11 on the middle frame 1 are provided with at least two slots 13, the protrusions 211 cooperate with the slots 13, and the upper surface of the protrusions 211 contacts the top wall surface of the slots 13, and the cross-sectional shape of the slots 13 is a U-shaped opening structure.

[0040] Therefore, the present invention limits the leftward movement of one side of the voice-driven box 21 by providing a protrusion 211 on one side of the voice-driven box 21 to cooperate with the slot 13 of the middle frame 1.

[0041] See attached Figure 3 and 4 The cross-sectional shape of the protrusion 211 along the direction parallel to the first side surface 2111 is U-shaped.

[0042] See attached Figure 3 and 4The voice drive box 21 includes a circuit cover 212, the circuit cover 212 is connected to the voice drive box 21, one side of the circuit cover 212 extends outward to form a limit block 213, the limit block 213 is located between the protrusions 211, and a recess 14 is provided on the middle frame 1, and the limit block abuts against the recess 14. It should be noted that the limit block 213 can also be provided on the voice drive box 21.

[0043] Therefore, the present invention sets a limit block 213 on the circuit cover 212 of the voice drive box 21, and the limit block 213 abuts against the recessed portion 14 on the middle frame 1, thereby limiting the upward and downward movement and rightward movement of the voice drive box 21.

[0044] See attached Figure 4 The two side walls of the protrusion 211 are provided with guide parts 215, and the limiting block 213 is provided with guide parts 215. Preferably, the guide parts 215 are chamfered.

[0045] Therefore, the present invention provides a guide portion 215 on the protrusion 211 and the limit block 213 to provide a guide for the installation of the voice drive box 21, thereby facilitating the installation.

[0046] See attached Figure 4 A first fixing portion 214 is provided on the second side 2112 of the voice drive box 21 opposite to the first side 2111, and a fixing hole is provided at a corresponding position on the middle frame 1, and the voice drive box 21 is connected to the fixing hole through the first fixing portion 214.

[0047] Preferably, the first fixing portion 214 of the voice drive box 21 is connected to the fixing hole of the middle frame 1 by means of screws.

[0048] In an optional embodiment, the voice drive box 21 can also be snap-connected to the middle frame 1.

[0049] See attached Figure 5 The end cover 3 includes a drum-shaped structure 31 , which protrudes outward, and the voice module 2 is located in a space formed by the middle frame 1 and the drum-shaped structure 31 .

[0050] Therefore, the present invention accommodates the voice module 2 by utilizing the space formed by the drum-shaped structure 31 of the middle frame 1 and the end cover 3, so that the voice module 2 does not need to occupy additional space, thereby keeping the size of the air conditioner unchanged, saving manufacturing costs, and improving the aesthetics of the air conditioner.

[0051] Referring to the drawings, the edge 32 of the end cover 3 is in a curved structure, and the voice module 2 is arranged along the edge 32 .

[0052] Therefore, the present invention prevents the voice module 2 from interfering with the end cover 3 by disposing the voice module 2 along the edge 32 of the end cover 3 .
