DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0037] The following description and the accompanying drawings sufficiently illustrate the specific embodiments of this document to enable those skilled in the art to practice them. Portions and features of some embodiments may be included in or replace portions and features of other embodiments. The scope of the embodiments herein includes the entire scope of the claims and all available equivalents of the claims. The various embodiments are described in a progressive manner herein, and each embodiment focuses on the differences from other embodiments. The same and similar parts between the various embodiments can be referred to each other.

[0038] like Figures 8 to 12 As shown, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides an air conditioner indoor unit, comprising:

[0039] Light emitting device 246;

[0040] A switch device for controlling the lighting device to turn on or off, including:

[0041] The slide groove 26 has electrode connection terminals 262 on its sidewalls 261 that are electrically connected to the light emitting device.

[0042] The conductive telescopic rod 27 is arranged in the slide groove 26 and is provided with a conductive connecting part 271 that can be conductively connected to the electrode connecting terminal 262. It is configured to be telescopic along the arrangement direction of the electrode connecting terminal 262 so that the conductive connecting part 271 is conductively connected or disconnected with the electrode connecting terminal 262.

[0043] The light emitting device 246 in the present application may be in the form of a point light source, a line light source, a surface light source, etc., which is not limited in this embodiment.

[0044] When the conductive telescopic rod 27 is stretched along the arrangement direction of the electrode connection terminals 262, the conductive connecting portion 271 can be connected to the electrode connection terminal 262 of one of the light-emitting devices and be turned on, thereby controlling the light-emitting device to emit light; when the conductive telescopic rod 27 continues to be stretched along the arrangement direction of the electrode connection terminals 262, the conductive connecting portion can be separated from the currently conductive electrode connection terminal, thereby controlling the corresponding light-emitting device to be turned off; when the conductive telescopic rod 27 continues to be stretched along the arrangement direction of the electrode connection terminals, the conductive connecting portion can be connected and disconnected with the electrode connection terminal of the next light-emitting device, thereby controlling the corresponding light-emitting device to be turned on and off. In this way, multiple light-emitting devices can be turned on and off successively, and light-emitting devices at different positions, different light colors, and different brightnesses can be respectively turned on and off with the electrode connection terminals as needed, thereby controlling the successive turning on and off of light-emitting devices at different positions, different light colors, and different brightnesses according to different instructions of the air conditioner, thereby achieving different display effects.

[0045] In some embodiments, the power supply for the light-emitting device may be provided between the light-emitting device and the electrode connection terminal 262. When the conductive connection portion 271 is conductively connected to the electrode connection terminal 262, the power supply and the light-emitting device form a closed loop, thereby turning on the light-emitting device; when the conductive connection portion 271 is disconnected from the electrode connection terminal 262, the loop between the power supply and the light-emitting device is disconnected, thereby turning off the light-emitting device.

[0046] In some embodiments, the power supply for the light-emitting device can be configured to be connected to the conductive connection portion. When the conductive connection portion 271 is connected to the electrode connection terminal 262, the power supply and the light-emitting device form a closed loop, thereby turning on the light-emitting device; when the conductive connection portion 271 is disconnected from the electrode connection terminal 262, the loop between the power supply and the light-emitting device is disconnected, thereby turning off the light-emitting device.

[0047] In some embodiments, as Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the electrode connection terminal 262 is an electrode contact groove formed by being recessed into the side wall 261 of the slide groove 26. The conductive connection part is clamped in the groove-shaped electrode connection terminal to realize the conduction of the light-emitting device, making the direct connection between the conductive connection part and the electrode connection terminal more stable.

[0048] In some embodiments, as Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the conductive connecting portion 271 is a conductive elastic connecting portion. When the conductive connecting portion 271 is connected to the electrode connection terminal 262, the conductive telescopic rod 27 is extended and retracted, and under the action of the elastic force, the conductive elastic connecting portion will deform and move away from the currently connected electrode connection terminal 262, thereby turning off the light-emitting device.

[0049] In some embodiments, the conductive elastic connecting portion is a conductive elastic column or a conductive spring.

[0050] In some embodiments, as Figures 9 to 12As shown, the electrode connection terminal 262 includes a positive electrode connection terminal 2621 that is electrically connected to the positive electrode of the light-emitting device, and a negative electrode connection terminal 2622 that is electrically connected to the negative electrode of the light-emitting device. The conductive connection portion includes a positive electrode conductive connection portion 2711 that can be electrically connected to the positive electrode connection terminal 2621, and a negative electrode conductive connection portion 2712 that can be electrically connected to the negative electrode connection terminal 2622. When the positive electrode conductive connection portion 2711 and the negative electrode conductive connection portion 2712 are electrically connected to the positive electrode connection terminal 2621 and the negative electrode connection terminal 2622 of the same light-emitting device, the corresponding light-emitting device emits light. When the positive electrode conductive connection portion 2711 and the negative electrode conductive connection portion 2712 are separated from the positive electrode connection terminal 2621 and the negative electrode connection terminal 2622 of the same light-emitting device, the corresponding light-emitting device can be turned off.

[0051] In some embodiments, as Figures 8 to 10 As shown, the positive electrode connection terminal 2621 and the negative electrode connection terminal 2622 of the same light-emitting device are respectively arranged on opposite side walls 261 of the chute 26; the positive electrode conductive connection portion 2711 and the negative electrode conductive connection portion 2712 are respectively arranged on the side of the conductive telescopic rod 27 opposite the positive electrode connection terminal 2621 and the negative electrode connection terminal 26322. When the conductive telescopic rod 27 is extended and retracted within the chute 26, the positive electrode conductive connection portion 2711 and the negative electrode conductive connection portion 2712 can be simultaneously connected to the positive electrode connection terminal 2621 and the negative motor connection terminal 2622 of the same light-emitting device, thereby controlling the corresponding light-emitting device to emit light; when the conductive telescopic rod 27 continues to extend and retract within the chute 26, the positive electrode conductive connection portion 2711 and the negative electrode conductive connection portion 2712 can be simultaneously separated from the positive electrode connection terminal 2621 and the negative motor connection terminal 2622 of the same light-emitting device, thereby turning off the corresponding light-emitting device.

[0052] In some embodiments, as Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown, the positive electrode connection terminal 2621 and the negative electrode connection terminal 2622 of the same light-emitting device are disposed on the same sidewall 261 of the chute 26; the positive electrode conductive connection portion 2711 and the negative electrode conductive connection portion 2712 are disposed on the same side surface of the conductive telescopic rod 27 opposite the positive electrode connection terminal 2621 and the negative electrode connection terminal 2622. This reduces the width of the chute 26 and the space occupied by the switch device in the air conditioner.

[0053] In some embodiments, as Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown, each of the two side walls 261 of the chute 26 corresponds to a conductive telescopic rod 27. In this way, the chute 26 of the same length can be provided with more electrode connection terminals, so that more light-emitting devices can be controlled.

[0054] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the air conditioner indoor unit further includes an air outlet device 20, which includes:

[0055] The air outlet device housing 21 is connected to the fan of the air conditioner indoor unit;

[0056] The air duct 22 is provided in the air outlet housing 21 and has an opening 23 on the side wall of the air duct 22.

[0057] A guide vane 24 is provided in the air duct 22 and divides the opening 23 into at least two air outlets 25;

[0058] The light emitting device 246 is configured to emit light that irradiates the guide plate 24 .

[0059] The front portion herein refers to the side of the air outlet device that blows air toward the user when the air conditioner indoor unit is in use; correspondingly, the rear portion refers to the side of the air outlet device that faces away from the user when the air conditioner indoor unit is in use. The front-to-back air duct 22 refers to the air duct formed by the side of the air outlet device that blows air toward the user and the side that faces away from the user.

[0060] The embodiment of the present disclosure realizes the illumination of the through-air duct 22 by irradiating the light of the light-emitting device onto the guide plate 24, making full use of the structure of the through-air duct 22 and the structure of the guide plate 24, increasing the display area and display mode of the air conditioner, realizing diversified display of the air conditioner, and improving user experience.

[0061] In some embodiments, as Figures 5 to 7 As shown, the guide plate 24 includes:

[0062] The hollow portion 241 is in communication with the front opening and the rear opening of the air duct 22;

[0063] The transition portion 242 constitutes the outer periphery of the hollow portion 241;

[0064] The edge portion 243 extends outward from the outer periphery of the transition portion 242 ; the edge portion 243 divides the opening 23 into at least two air outlets 25 .

[0065] The heated air generated by the air conditioner indoor unit enters the through-air duct 22 through two or more air outlets 25. It then flows through the hollow portion 241 of the guide vane 24 toward the front opening of the duct 22, where it enters the temperature-controlled space. The two or more air outlets 25 divide the heated air, allowing it to more evenly mix with the incoming air from the rear opening of the duct 22 after entering the duct, improving the comfort of the mixed air.

[0066] In some embodiments, the size of the hollow portion 241 gradually decreases along the front-to-back direction of the air duct 22, so that the guide vanes 24 sequentially expose part or all of the transition portion 242 along the front-to-back direction of the air duct 22. When the light-emitting devices 246 on the guide vanes 24 along the front-to-back direction of the air duct 22 sequentially illuminate, the guide vanes 24 appear to illuminate sequentially. Different lighting sequences, brightness levels, colors, and lighting frequencies can be set according to different control commands of the air conditioner. For example, when the air conditioner is in cooling mode, the light-emitting devices 246 are lit in sequence from the front to the back along the air duct 22, and the light-emitting devices 246 are white; when the air conditioner is in heating mode, the light-emitting devices 246 are lit in sequence from the front to the back along the air duct 22, and the light-emitting devices 246 are red; when the air volume of the air conditioner is increased, the light-emitting devices 246 are lit in sequence from the back to the front along the air duct 22 until the set temperature is consistent with the ambient temperature; when the air volume of the air conditioner is reduced, the light-emitting devices 246 are lit in sequence from the front to the back along the air duct 22 until the set temperature is consistent with the ambient temperature.

[0067] In some embodiments, as Figure 5 As shown, a light-emitting device 246 is disposed on the front surface of the transition portion 242 and is configured to emit light that illuminates the transition portion 242 of the current deflector 24. When the light-emitting device 246 illuminates, the transition portion 242 appears to illuminate. The brightness, color, and frequency of the light-emitting device 246 on each deflector 24 can be controlled according to different air conditioner control commands. When the light-emitting devices 246 on the deflectors 24 along the front-to-back direction of the air duct 22 illuminate sequentially, the transition portion 242 of the deflector 24 also illuminates sequentially. The lighting sequence, brightness, color, and frequency can be set to vary according to different air conditioner control commands.

[0068] In some embodiments, the light-emitting device 246 is disposed inside the transition portion 242 and is configured to emit light that shines onto the current guide plate 24. The front surface of the transition portion 242 is light-transmissive. When the light-emitting device 246 emits light, the light passes through the front surface of the current transition portion 242, resulting in the current transition portion 242 emitting light. The brightness, color, and light-emitting frequency of the light-emitting device 246 can be controlled according to different instructions from the air conditioner. When the light-emitting devices 246 on the guide plates 24 along the front-to-back direction of the air duct 22 emit light in sequence, the transition portions 242 of the guide plates 24 emit light in sequence. Different light-emitting sequences, light-emitting brightness, colors, and light-emitting frequencies can be set according to different control instructions from the air conditioner. This method can hide the light-emitting device 246 and improve user acceptance.

[0069] In some embodiments, the light emitting device 246 is disposed on a surface of the guide plate 24 facing the rear opening of the air duct 22 and is configured to emit light that illuminates adjacent guide plates 24. This approach can conceal the light emitting device 246 and improve user acceptance.

[0070] In some embodiments, as Figure 6 As shown, the light-emitting device 246 is disposed on the rear surface of the transition portion 242 and is configured to emit light that illuminates adjacent deflectors 24, causing those adjacent deflectors 24 to illuminate. The brightness, color, and frequency of the light-emitting device can be controlled based on different air conditioner commands. When the light-emitting devices on the deflectors along the front-to-back direction of the air duct 22 illuminate sequentially, the deflectors appear to illuminate sequentially. The lighting sequence, brightness, color, and frequency can be set to vary based on different air conditioner control commands.

[0071] In some embodiments, as Figures 5 to 7 As shown, the edge portion 243 extends from the outer periphery of the transition portion 242 to the rear opening of the air duct 22 , so that the heat exchange air sent out from the air outlet 25 can be guided to flow toward the front opening of the air duct 22 .

[0072] In some embodiments, as Figure 7 As shown, the light-emitting device 246 is disposed on a side 2431 of the edge portion 243 facing the rear opening of the air duct 22 and is configured to emit light that illuminates the adjacent deflector 24. Thus, when the light-emitting device 246 illuminates, it illuminates the surface of the adjacent deflector 24 facing the front opening of the air duct 22, resulting in the transition portion 242 or edge portion 243 of the deflector 24 illuminating. The brightness, color, and frequency of the light-emitting device can be controlled according to different commands from the air conditioner. When the light-emitting devices 246 on the deflectors 24 along the front-to-back direction of the air duct 22 illuminate sequentially, the deflectors 24 also illuminate sequentially. The lighting sequence, brightness, color, and frequency can be set to vary according to different control commands from the air conditioner.

[0073] In some embodiments, the guide plate 24 further includes:

[0074] The inner convex plate 245 is formed by the side of the transition portion 242 facing the rear opening of the air duct 22 protruding toward the rear opening of the air duct 22. The provision of the inner convex plate 245 further turbulents the heat exchange air at the air outlet, which is conducive to improving the comfort of the mixed air outlet.

[0075] In some embodiments, the light-emitting device 246 is disposed on the inner convex plate 245 and is configured to emit light that illuminates adjacent deflectors. Because the inner convex plate 245 is closer to adjacent deflectors, when the light-emitting device illuminates, the brightness of the adjacent deflector 24 is increased. The brightness, color, and frequency of the light-emitting device can be controlled based on different air conditioner commands. When the light-emitting devices on the deflectors along the front-to-back direction of the air duct 22 illuminate sequentially, the deflectors appear to illuminate sequentially. The lighting sequence, brightness, color, and frequency can be set to vary based on different air conditioner control commands.

[0076] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 and Figure 3 、 Figures 5 to 7 As shown, the air outlet device housing 21 further includes a guide vane connection portion 244, which is configured to connect the guide vane 24 to the air outlet device housing 21. The configuration of the guide vane connection portion 244 facilitates installation and removal of the guide vane.

[0077] In some embodiments, the guide plate connection portion 244 is a slot structure, and the edge portion 243 of the guide plate 24 is snapped into the slot.

[0078] like Figures 1 to 4 、 Figures 13 to 15 As shown, the air conditioner indoor unit also includes:

[0079] The drainage air outlet device 30 , which is in communication with the fan, is disposed at the rear of the air outlet device 20 and is provided with a drainage air outlet. The drainage air outlet is configured to discharge air toward the air duct 22 .

[0080] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the opening 23 on the side wall of the air duct 22 constitutes a heat exchange air outlet, the rear opening constitutes a natural wind inlet, and the front opening constitutes a mixed air outlet; in the heating mode, the drainage outlet blows the higher temperature heat exchange air into the air duct 22 to mix with the air out of the heat exchange air outlet, which on the one hand increases the air volume of the higher temperature heat exchange air, and on the other hand, can accelerate the speed of the heat exchange air blowing to the temperature control space, thereby improving the customer experience when the air conditioner is in heating operation.

[0081] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 As shown, the air conditioner also includes a drainage outlet device base unit 40 connected to the fan, wherein the drainage outlet device 30 is rotatably connected to the drainage outlet device base unit 40, and the drainage outlet vent is opened or hidden by rotating the drainage outlet device 30. In cooling mode, it is desired that the cooler heat exchange air can be mixed with some of the warmer natural air before being blown out, and the cooler heat exchange air provided by the drainage outlet device 30 is not needed. Therefore, the drainage outlet vent can be hidden by rotating the drainage outlet device 30, meeting the user's usage needs in different working modes.

[0082] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 、 Figures 13 to 15 As shown, the air outlet device includes:

[0083] The top panel 31 is configured to tilt from the surface 41 of the air outlet device base 40 toward the air duct 22 when the air outlet is opened;

[0084] a rear panel 32 connected to the top panel 31;

[0085] Side panels 33 are provided on both sides of the top panel 31 and the rear panel 32;

[0086] The bottom panel 34 is connected to the side panels 33 at both ends;

[0087] The space enclosed by the top panel 31 , the rear panel 32 , the side panel 33 and the bottom panel 34 constitutes an air outlet; a hollow portion 35 connected to the fan is provided between the bottom panel 34 and the rear panel 32 .

[0088] The heat exchange air generated by the air conditioner indoor unit flows through the hollow portion 35 and the drainage outlet toward the rear opening of the air duct 22, where it enters the air duct 22 and mixes with the air discharged from the heat exchange air outlet. Because the top panel 31 is tilted toward the air duct 22 from the surface 41 of the drainage outlet base 40, the drainage outlet discharges air toward the air duct 22.

[0089] In some embodiments, the inclination angle of the top panel 31 is adjustable. By adjusting the inclination angle of the top panel 31 , the direction of the induced air flow is adjusted so that the induced air flow is blown toward the air duct 22 more accurately.

[0090] In some embodiments, the bottom panel 34 is rotatable. By rotating the bottom panel, the size of the opening between the bottom panel 34 and the top panel can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the direction of the diverted air flow so that the diverted air flow is blown more accurately into the air duct 22.

[0091] In some embodiments, as Figure 15 As shown, a limiting protrusion 331 is provided on the side panel 33, which is configured so that when the air outlet device is rotated to open the air outlet port, the limiting protrusion 331 abuts against the inner surface 42 of the air outlet device base 40, thereby limiting the rotation of the air outlet device 30.

[0092] In some embodiments, the rear panel 32 is rotatably connected to the air outlet device base 40 via a rotating mechanism.

[0093] In some embodiments, as Figure 15 As shown, the rotating mechanism includes:

[0094] The rotating shaft 321 is connected to the rear panel 32;

[0095] The rotating motor 322 is provided in the air outlet device base unit 40 and is configured to drive the rotating shaft 321 to rotate, thereby driving the rear panel 32 to rotate, thereby driving the air outlet device 30 to rotate, so as to open or hide the air outlet.

[0096] In some embodiments, the top panel 31 is further configured to be flush with the surface of the drainage and outlet device base when the drainage and outlet vents are hidden, thereby sealing the drainage and outlet device base to prevent leakage of heat exchange air.

[0097] In some embodiments, as Figure 14 As shown, an air guide plate 36 is provided within the drainage outlet. The air guide plate 36 allows the direction of the drainage outlet air to be adjusted. For example, by adjusting the direction of the drainage outlet air to alternately change left and right, the drainage outlet air is intermittently blown toward the air duct 22, thereby intermittently mixing the heat exchange air with the drainage outlet air, and adjusting the temperature change rate of the mixed air.

[0098] In some embodiments, as Figure 14 As shown, a rotation shaft 37 is provided on the air guide plate 36. By rotating the rotation shaft 37, the air guide plate 36 can be driven to rotate, thereby achieving the adjustment of the direction of the air flow.

[0099] In some embodiments, as Figure 14 As shown, the rotation shaft 37 is disposed between the top panel 31 and the bottom panel 34 .

[0100] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 As shown, the air outlet device 20 further includes:

[0101] The wind shield 28 is provided at the rear opening of the air duct 22 and is configured to be able to enter or leave the interior of the air outlet device housing 21, thereby exposing or shielding the rear opening of the air duct.

[0102] When the natural wind inlet is not needed, it can be shielded by the windshield 28. When the air volume of the natural wind inlet needs to be adjusted, the windshield 28 can be used to enter or exit the interior of the air outlet housing to varying degrees, thereby exposing or shielding the rear opening of the air duct 22 to varying degrees, thereby adjusting the natural wind volume. On the one hand, the natural wind volume and outlet temperature can be adjusted according to individual user differences, which has a wider range of applications. On the other hand, in cooling mode, it is desired that the cooler heat exchange air can be mixed with some of the higher temperature natural air before being blown out, and the windshield can be opened at this time. In heating mode, it is undesirable that the heat exchange air is mixed with the lower temperature natural air, and the windshield can be closed at this time, thus meeting the user's usage needs in different working modes. Furthermore, the following situation can be improved: the open structure of the natural wind inlet can easily give users the illusion that the air conditioner's cooling or heating speed is slower than that of a traditional air conditioner without a natural wind inlet, which in turn affects users' trust in such air conditioner products and reduces the product's market competitiveness.

[0103] In some embodiments, the air outlet device further includes:

[0104] The drive mechanism is connected to the windshield 28 and is configured to drive the windshield 28 into or out of the interior of the air outlet housing 21, thereby exposing or blocking the rear opening of the air duct 22. The drive mechanism electrically drives the windshield 28 into or out of the interior of the air outlet housing to varying degrees, thereby exposing or blocking the rear opening of the air duct 22 to varying degrees, thereby electrically adjusting the natural wind volume.

[0105] In some embodiments, as Figure 17 and Figure 18 As shown, the windshield 28 includes a first windshield 281 and a second windshield 282. The first windshield 281 and the second windshield 282 are configured to enter or exit the interior of the air outlet housing 21 in opposite directions, thereby exposing or blocking the rear opening of the air duct 22. By providing two windshields, which allow entry or exit from the interior of the air outlet housing 21 in opposite directions, thereby exposing or blocking the rear opening of the air duct 22, the size of the rear opening of the air duct 22 can be adjusted with the middle of the rear opening of the air duct 22 as the center, ensuring that natural wind always enters the air duct 22 from the middle of the rear opening of the air duct 22. This facilitates the formation of a uniform mixture of heat exchange air and natural wind, improves air outlet comfort, and enhances the user experience.

[0106] In some embodiments, as Figure 18 As shown, the driving mechanism includes:

[0107] The rack 29 is connected to the wind shield 28 and is positioned to match the outer periphery of the air outlet housing 21;

[0108] Gear 210, meshing with rack 29;

[0109] The gear motor is configured to rotate the gear 210. When the gear 210 rotates, it drives the rack 29 to move along the outer periphery of the bottom of the air outlet housing 21, thereby driving the wind shield 28 along the outer periphery of the bottom of the air outlet housing 21 to enter or exit the interior of the air outlet housing 21, thereby exposing or blocking the rear opening of the air duct 22 to varying degrees, thereby adjusting the air volume of natural wind.

[0110] In some embodiments, the rack 29 includes a first rack 291 connected to the first wind deflector 281 and a second rack 292 connected to the second wind deflector 282. By providing two racks, the first wind deflector 281 and the second wind deflector 282 can be controlled separately. For example, the gear 210 includes a first gear meshed with the first rack 291 and a second gear meshed with the second rack 292. The first gear independently controls the first rack 291, and the second gear independently controls the second rack 292.

[0111] In some embodiments, the gear 210 is located between the first rack 291 and the second rack 292 and meshes with both the first rack 291 and the second rack 292. The rotation of the gear 210 drives the first rack 291 and the second rack 292 to move in opposite directions, thereby driving the first wind deflector 281 and the second wind deflector 282 to enter or exit the interior of the air outlet housing 21 in opposite directions, thereby exposing or blocking the rear opening of the air duct 22.

[0112] In some embodiments, the first rack 291 is arranged close to the bottom periphery of the air outlet device housing 21, and the second rack 292 is arranged away from the bottom periphery of the air outlet device housing 21. The second rack 292 is connected to the second wind shield 282 through a crossbeam 2921 spanning the first rack 291 and the second rack 292, so that the first wind shield 281 and the second wind shield 282 are located on the same circumference, ensuring that the first wind shield 281 and the second wind shield 282 are docked at the rear opening of the air duct 22, thereby covering the rear opening of the air duct 22 and reducing the gap generated after docking.

[0113] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 As shown, the air conditioner indoor unit also includes an air outlet base unit 10, which includes an air outlet base unit housing 11 and a heat exchanger and a fan disposed within the air outlet base unit housing 11. The air outlet base unit housing 11 is provided with an air inlet 12 connected to the fan. An air outlet device 20 is disposed above the air outlet base unit 10.

[0114] In some embodiments, the air outlet device 20 is rotatably mounted above the air outlet base unit 10. The air outlet device 20 can be controlled to rotate according to different control conditions, thereby blowing air toward different areas of the temperature-controlled space. Optionally, the air conditioner indoor unit further includes a human body detection sensor. The air outlet device 20 can rotate based on the detection results of the human body detection sensor, for example, to an area containing a human body, thereby adjusting the temperature of the area containing the human body.

[0115] An embodiment of the present disclosure further provides an air conditioner, comprising the aforementioned air conditioner indoor unit.
