Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of air conditioning equipment, and particularly relates to a cabinet air conditioner. Background Art

[0002] Existing household air conditioners include floor-standing cabinet air conditioners and wall-mounted air conditioners. For the same cooling capacity, floor-standing cabinet air conditioners have more advantages than wall-mounted air conditioners in terms of cooling and heating capacity output and comfort effect. However, floor-standing cabinet air conditioners need to add chassis components to support the air conditioner, resulting in an increase in the body height and weight of the floor-standing cabinet air conditioner, which is inconvenient for production, transportation and installation. At the same time, when installing a floor-standing cabinet air conditioner, a certain installation distance needs to be reserved from the wall to facilitate the connection of the connecting pipe components, resulting in a large floor area of the machine and it is difficult to move the air conditioner. In addition, the dust and dirt in the reserved space are difficult to clean, and the accumulation over time affects the cleanliness and beauty of the room, and may even become an indoor air pollution source in severe cases. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of this, the present invention provides a cabinet air conditioner to solve the deficiencies of the prior art, including:
