[0049] The embodiments of the present application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below are examples for explaining the present application and should not be construed as limiting the present application.

[0050] The embodiments of the present application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below are examples for explaining the present application and should not be construed as limiting the present application. Figures 1-12 The air conditioner indoor unit 100 according to the embodiments of the present application and the cleaning method of the air conditioner indoor unit are described below.

[0051] As Figures 1-12As shown, the air conditioner indoor unit 100 according to the embodiment of the application comprises a housing 10, an axial flow fan assembly 60, a receiving portion 20 and a control portion 90. The housing 10 comprises a fixed housing portion 13 and a movable housing portion 14, and the axial flow fan assembly 60 is arranged in the housing 10. It is to be noted that the fixed housing portion 13 and the movable housing portion 14 can jointly constitute the housing 10, and the axial flow fan assembly 60 can be arranged in the housing 10 and can rotate relative to the housing 10. The receiving portion 20 is configured to receive an indoor unit cleaning instruction, and the control portion 90 is configured to control the movable housing portion 14 to move away from the fixed housing portion 13 to form an avoiding space between the movable housing portion 14 and the fixed housing portion 13 according to the indoor unit cleaning instruction, and the control portion 90 controls the axial flow fan assembly 60 to rotate so that at least a part of the axial flow fan assembly 60 extends into the avoiding space.

[0052] It is to be noted that the receiving portion 20 can be configured to receive an indoor unit cleaning instruction issued by a user, and the receiving portion 20 can transmit the indoor unit cleaning instruction to the control portion 90. The control portion 90 can control the movable housing portion 14 to move away from the fixed housing portion 13 to form an avoiding space between the movable housing portion 14 and the fixed housing portion 13 according to the indoor unit cleaning instruction transmitted by the receiving portion 20. After the control portion 90 controls the movable housing portion 14 to form the avoiding space, the control portion 90 can control the axial flow fan assembly 60 to rotate relative to the housing 10. After the axial flow fan assembly 60 rotates by a certain angle, at least a part of the axial flow fan assembly 60 extends into the avoiding space.

[0053] When the user needs to clean the axial flow fan assembly 60 of the air conditioner indoor unit 100 or needs to clean the housing 10, the user can issue a cleaning instruction to the air conditioner indoor unit 100 through a remote controller. The receiving portion 20 can receive the cleaning instruction issued by the user, and the receiving portion 20 can transmit the cleaning instruction to the control portion 90. The control portion 90 can control the movable housing portion 14 to move away from the fixed housing portion 13 to form an avoiding space between the movable housing portion 14 and the fixed housing portion 13 according to the cleaning instruction transmitted by the receiving portion 20. Meanwhile, the control portion 90 can control the axial flow fan assembly 60 to rotate relative to the housing 10 so that at least a part of the axial flow fan assembly 60 extends into the avoiding space, thereby enabling the user to conveniently clean the axial flow fan assembly 60 and the movable housing portion 14, and further ensuring the indoor environmental hygiene and the health of the user.

[0054] Therefore, when the air conditioner indoor unit 100 needs to be cleaned, the user can clean the axial fan wheel assembly 60 and the shell 10 of the air conditioner indoor unit 100 very conveniently, so that the problems of dust accumulation, dust adsorption, etc. inside the air conditioner indoor unit 100 can be avoided, thereby preventing the breeding of bacteria and other microorganisms in the air conditioner indoor unit 100 from affecting the health of the user, and without the need to hire a professional to clean the air conditioner indoor unit 100, the cleaning cost of the air conditioner indoor unit 100 can be saved.

[0055] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figures 1-5 and Figure 10 The control part 90 can include a control module 91, a first driving mechanism 30 and a second driving mechanism 50, the control module 91 can be connected with the first driving mechanism 30 and the second driving mechanism 50, and the control module 91 can be used to control the first driving mechanism 30 to drive the movable shell part 14 to move relative to the fixed shell part 13, and the control module 91 can also be used to control the second driving mechanism 50 to drive the axial fan wheel assembly 60 to rotate. It should be noted that the control module 91, the first driving mechanism 30 and the second driving mechanism 50 can jointly constitute the control part 90, the control module 91 can be in communication connection with the first driving mechanism 30 and the second driving mechanism 50, the control module 91 can control the first driving mechanism 30, the first driving mechanism 30 can drive the movable shell part 14 to move relative to the fixed shell part 13, and the control module 91 can also control the second driving mechanism 50, the second driving mechanism 50 can drive the axial fan wheel assembly 60 to rotate, thereby the distance of the movement of the movable shell part 14 and the angle of the rotation of the axial fan wheel assembly 60 can be accurately controlled, so that the user can clean the air conditioner indoor unit 100 more conveniently.

[0056] In some embodiments of the present application, the control part 90 can also be used to control the axial fan wheel assembly 60 to be powered off, and it should be explained that when at least a part of the axial fan wheel assembly 60 extends into the avoiding space, the user can send a power-off instruction to the control part 90 through the remote controller, and then the control module 91 can control the axial fan wheel assembly 60 to be powered off, thereby the safety of the user when cleaning the air conditioner indoor unit 100 can be ensured, and the risk of electric shock of the user when cleaning the air conditioner indoor unit 100 can be avoided.

[0057] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figure 10As shown, the air conditioner indoor unit 100 can further include an image acquisition module 70, which can be connected with the control unit 90. The image acquisition module 70 can be used to acquire image information of the avoidance space. The control unit 90 can be further used to determine whether the cleaning action of the user is completed according to the image information. It should be noted that the image acquisition module 70 can be a camera. The image acquisition module 70 can be in communication connection with the control unit 90. The image acquisition module 70 can acquire image information in the avoidance space, and transmit the image information in the avoidance space to the control unit 90. The control unit 90 can determine whether the cleaning action of the user is completed according to the image information in the avoidance space transmitted by the image acquisition module 70. If the control unit 90 determines that the cleaning action of the user has been completed according to the image information in the avoidance space transmitted by the image acquisition module 70, the control unit 90 can send a reset instruction to the control module 91. The control module 91 can control the second driving mechanism 50 according to the reset instruction sent by the control unit 90, so that the axial flow fan wheel assembly 60 is rotated to the reset position by the second driving mechanism 50. Then, the control module 91 can control the first driving mechanism 30 according to the reset instruction sent by the control unit 90, so that the movable shell part 14 moves towards the fixed shell part 13 by the first driving mechanism 30 to make the movable shell part 14 move to the reset position, i.e., the movable shell part 14 closes the fixed shell part 14 by the first driving mechanism 30. In this way, the control unit 90 and the image acquisition module 70 can be used to determine whether the user has completed the cleaning work, so that the air conditioner indoor unit 100 can be more intelligent.

[0058] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figure 1 As shown, the shell 10 can be provided with a first air inlet 11 and a second air inlet 12. Both the first air inlet 11 and the second air inlet 12 can be in communication with the outside, i.e., gas can flow into the shell 10 from the first air inlet 11 and the second air inlet 12, and gas can also flow out of the shell 10 from the first air inlet 11 and the second air inlet 12. The axial flow fan wheel assembly 60 is arranged in the shell 10. When the axial flow fan wheel assembly 60 rotates relative to the shell 10, the air conditioner indoor unit 100 can be switched between the first air outlet mode and the second air outlet mode. It can also be understood that the shell 10 is arranged outside the axial flow fan wheel assembly 60, and the axial flow fan wheel assembly 60 can rotate relative to the shell 10. When the axial flow fan wheel assembly 60 rotates to a certain position relative to the shell 10, the air conditioner indoor unit 100 can be in the first air outlet mode. When the axial flow fan wheel assembly 60 rotates to another position relative to the shell 10, the air conditioner indoor unit 100 can be in the second air outlet mode.

[0059] When the air conditioner indoor unit 100 is in the first air outlet mode, the air outside the shell 10 enters the shell 10 from the first air outlet 11, and the air is sent out from the second air outlet 12 after flowing through the axial flow fan wheel assembly 60. When the air conditioner indoor unit 100 is in the second air outlet mode, the air outside the shell 10 enters the shell 10 from the second air outlet 12, and the air is sent out from the first air outlet 11 after flowing through the axial flow fan wheel assembly 60. It needs to be explained that when the axial flow fan wheel assembly 60 is rotated to a certain position relative to the shell 10, the air conditioner indoor unit 100 can be in the first air outlet mode, and when the air conditioner indoor unit 100 is in the first air outlet mode, the air outside the shell 10 can enter the shell 10 from the first air outlet 11 and flow back to the outside from the second air outlet 12 after flowing through the axial flow fan wheel assembly 60. When the axial flow fan wheel assembly 60 is rotated to a certain position relative to the shell 10, the air conditioner indoor unit 100 can be in the second air outlet mode, and when the air conditioner indoor unit 100 is in the second air outlet mode, the air outside the shell 10 can enter the shell 10 from the second air outlet 12 and flow back to the outside from the first air outlet 11 after flowing through the axial flow fan wheel assembly 60.

[0060] During the operation of the air conditioner indoor unit 100, the axial flow fan wheel assembly 60 can be rotated relative to the shell 10 to make the air conditioner indoor unit 100 in the first air outlet mode or the second air outlet mode, thereby achieving the switching of the air flow direction of the air conditioner indoor unit 100, making the air conditioner indoor unit 100 have multiple air outlet forms, making the air conditioner indoor unit 100 blow hot air downward in the heating mode to achieve good heating effect, making the air conditioner indoor unit 100 blow cold air horizontally in the cooling mode to achieve good cooling effect, and compared with the prior art, the air conditioner indoor unit 100 of the present application does not need to install a deflector on the air conditioner indoor unit 100 to control the air flow direction, which can make the appearance of the air conditioner indoor unit 100 more beautiful, and can also reduce the installation cost and difficulty of the air conditioner indoor unit 100.

[0061] Therefore, through the cooperation of the shell 10 and the axial flow fan wheel assembly 60, the switching of the air flow direction of the air conditioner indoor unit 100 can be achieved, the air conditioner indoor unit 100 has different air outlet forms in different modes, thereby achieving good working effect of the air conditioner indoor unit 100 in the cooling mode and the heating mode, and without the need to install a deflector, the appearance of the air conditioner indoor unit 100 is beautiful, and the installation cost and difficulty of the air conditioner indoor unit 100 can be reduced.

[0062] In some embodiments of the present application, as Figure 1As shown, the height of the first air vent 11 can be lower than the height of the second air vent 12. It should be noted that, in the height direction of the indoor unit 100, the height of the first air vent 11 is lower than the height of the second air vent 12. Furthermore, the first air outlet mode can be a cooling operation mode, and the second air outlet mode can be a heating operation mode. It should be explained that in... Figure 1 In the indicated height direction, the setting height of the second air vent 12 can be higher than the setting height of the first air vent 11. Rotating the axial flow fan assembly 60 allows air to enter the housing 10 from the first air vent 11. When outside air enters the housing 10 from the first air vent 11 and flows through the axial flow fan assembly 60 before exiting from the second air vent 12, it is in cooling operation mode. Rotating the axial flow fan assembly 60 allows air to enter the housing 10 from the second air vent 12. When outside air enters the housing 10 from the second air vent 12 and flows through the axial flow fan assembly 60 before exiting from the first air vent 11, it is in heating operation mode. This configuration allows the indoor unit 100 of the air conditioner to have different air outlet patterns in cooling and heating operation modes.

[0063] As some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 1 As shown, the first air vent 11 can be located on the bottom surface of the housing 10, and the second air vent 12 can be located on the side surface of the housing 10. Alternatively, it can be understood that the bottom surface of the housing 10 can have the first air vent 11, and the side surface of the housing 10 can have the second air vent 12. Figure 1 In the indicated height direction, the second air vent 12 is set at a higher height than the first air vent 11. When the indoor unit 100 of the air conditioner is in heating mode, this setting allows the hot air blown out by the indoor unit 100 to blow downwards, thereby achieving a good heating effect. When the indoor unit 100 of the air conditioner is in cooling mode, it allows the cold air blown out by the indoor unit 100 to blow horizontally, thereby achieving a good cooling effect.

[0064] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 1 As shown, the bottom of the fixed housing 13 can be opened to form an opening, and the movable housing 14 can close the opening. The movable housing 14 can also move downwards relative to the opening to form a clearance space between the opening and the movable housing 14. This clearance space allows the axial flow impeller assembly 60 to at least partially extend into the clearance space during rotation. It should be explained that the bottom of the fixed housing 13 can be opened to form an opening, and the movable housing 14 can close the opening formed at the bottom of the fixed housing 13. Figure 1As shown in the vertical direction, the movable shell part 14 can move downward relative to the opening, when the movable shell part 14 moves downward relative to the opening, an avoiding space can be formed between the movable shell part 14 and the opening, at least part of the structure of the axial flow fan assembly 60 can extend into the avoiding space when the axial flow fan assembly 60 rotates, when the axial flow fan assembly 60 rotates relative to the shell 10, the arrangement can ensure that the axial flow fan assembly 60 has enough space to rotate, can avoid the axial flow fan assembly 60 from interfering with the movable shell part 14, so as to change the air outlet mode of the air conditioner indoor unit 100, so as to further ensure the working performance of the air conditioner indoor unit 100.

[0065] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figure 1 The setting height of the first air outlet 11 can be lower than the setting height of the second air outlet 12, the movable shell part 14 can be provided with the first air outlet 11, it needs to be explained that, in Figure 1 The setting height of the first air outlet 11 is lower than the setting height of the second air outlet 12 in the height direction, the side of the fixed shell part 13 is provided with the second air outlet 12, that is, the second air outlet 12 can be arranged on the side wall of the fixed shell part 13, the arrangement can make the setting positions of the first air outlet 11 and the second air outlet 12 appropriate, when the air conditioner indoor unit 100 is in the heating operation mode, it can ensure that the air conditioner indoor unit 100 blows air downward through the first air outlet 11, so as to improve the heating effect of the air conditioner indoor unit 100.

[0066] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figure 3 And Figure 4As shown, the first driving mechanism 30 can include a first driving member 31, a first gear 32, a rack 33 and a first mounting base 34. The first driving member 31 can be mounted on the first mounting base 34, the rack 33 can pass through the first mounting base 34, and one end of the rack 33 can be connected with the movable shell part 14. It should be noted that the lower end of the rack 33 is connected with the movable shell part 14, the first gear 32 can be arranged on the output shaft of the first driving member 31, and the first gear 32 can be in meshing transmission with the rack 33. It should be explained that the first mounting base 34 can include a fixed base 35 and a motor mounting base 36, the first driving member 31 can be mounted on the motor mounting base 36, the first driving member 31 can be a stepping motor, the fixed base 35 and the motor mounting base 36 can be connected by clamping, the fixed base 35 and the motor mounting base 36 define a rack mounting space, the rack 33 is adapted to pass through the rack mounting space, one end of the rack 33 can be clamped and connected with the movable shell part 14, the first gear 32 can be arranged on the output shaft of the first driving member 31, the first gear 32 is located between the fixed base 35 and the motor mounting base 36, the first gear 32 can be in meshing transmission with the rack 33, when the movable shell part 14 needs to be moved relative to the fixed shell part 13, the control part 90 controls the first driving member 31 to work, the first driving member 31 can drive the first gear 32 to rotate through the output shaft, since the first gear 32 is in meshing transmission with the rack 33, the first gear 32 can drive the rack 33 to move, the rack 33 can drive the movable shell part 14 to move relative to the fixed shell part 13 in the up-down direction. This arrangement can control the movement amount of the movable shell part 14 more accurately, and can avoid the situation that the axial flow impeller assembly 60 cannot rotate in the shell 10 due to too small movement amount of the movable shell part 14, thereby ensuring the working reliability of the movable shell part 14.

[0067] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the shell 10 can have an air duct cavity 15, the distance between the axial flow impeller assembly 60 and the movable shell part 14 can be less than the distance between the axial flow impeller assembly 60 and the wall opposite to the movable shell part 14, so that the axial flow impeller assembly 60 can be arranged in the air duct cavity 15 in a manner close to the movable shell part 14.

Thus, the distance of the movable shell part moving and the angle of the axial flow fan wheel assembly rotating can be accurately controlled, so that the user can clean the air conditioner indoor unit more conveniently.

[0084] In some embodiments of the present application, after at least a part of the axial flow fan wheel assembly extends into the avoiding space, the method further comprises: controlling the axial flow fan wheel assembly to be powered off. It should be noted that when at least a part of the axial flow fan wheel assembly extends into the avoiding space, the user can send a power-off instruction to the control unit 90 through the remote controller, and then the control module can control the axial flow fan wheel assembly to be powered off. Thus, the safety of the user when cleaning the air conditioner indoor unit can be ensured, and the user can be prevented from being in danger of electric shock when cleaning the air conditioner indoor unit.

[0085] In some embodiments of the present application, after at least a part of the axial flow fan wheel assembly extends into the avoiding space, the method further comprises: receiving an indoor unit cleaning completion instruction, and controlling the axial flow fan wheel assembly to rotate to a reset position and the movable shell part to move towards the fixed shell part to close the fixed shell part according to the indoor unit cleaning completion instruction. It should be noted that when the user finishes cleaning, the receiving unit can receive the indoor unit cleaning completion instruction, and the receiving unit can transmit the user cleaning completion instruction to the control unit. The control unit can send a reset instruction to the control module according to the user cleaning completion instruction transmitted by the receiving unit, the control module can control the second driving mechanism according to the reset instruction sent by the control unit, and drive the axial flow fan wheel assembly to rotate back to the reset position through the second driving mechanism. Then, the control module can control the first driving mechanism according to the reset instruction sent by the control unit, and drive the movable shell part to move towards the fixed shell part through the first driving mechanism so that the movable shell part moves to the reset position, i.e. the movable shell part closes the fixed shell part through the first driving mechanism. Thus, the air conditioner indoor unit can be reset when the user finishes cleaning, so that the user can use the air conditioner indoor unit after cleaning more conveniently.

[0086] It should be noted that the reset position of the axial flow fan wheel assembly can be the position of the axial flow fan wheel assembly when the air conditioner indoor unit is in a cooling mode.

[0087] In some embodiments of the present application, the timing is started when at least a part of the axial flow fan assembly extends into the avoiding space, and when the timing reaches a first preset time, the axial flow fan assembly is controlled to rotate to the reset position and the movable shell part is controlled to move towards the fixed shell part to close the fixed shell part. It should be explained that the user can preset the first preset time in the control part, and when at least a part of the axial flow fan assembly extends into the avoiding space, the control part can start the timing, and when the timing reaches the first preset time, the control module can control the second driving mechanism to work, drive the axial flow fan assembly to rotate to the reset position through the second driving mechanism, and then the control module can control the first driving mechanism to work, drive the movable shell part to move towards the fixed shell part to make the movable shell part move to the reset position, that is, drive the movable shell part to close the fixed shell part through the first driving mechanism, so that the user can avoid forgetting to send the cleaning completion instruction to the receiving part when the cleaning is completed, and the axial flow fan assembly is always open to the outside.

[0088] In some embodiments of the present application, after at least a part of the axial flow fan assembly extends into the avoiding space, the control part can judge whether the user's cleaning action is completed, and if so, the movable shell part is controlled to move towards the fixed shell part to close the fixed shell part. It should be explained that after at least a part of the axial flow fan assembly extends into the avoiding space, the control part can judge whether the user's cleaning action is completed, and if the control part judges that the user's cleaning action is completed, the control module can be sent a reset instruction, the control module can control the second driving mechanism to work according to the reset instruction, drive the axial flow fan assembly to rotate to the reset position through the second driving mechanism, and then the control module can control the first driving mechanism to work according to the reset instruction, drive the movable shell part to move towards the fixed shell part to make the movable shell part move to the reset position, that is, drive the movable shell part to close the fixed shell part through the first driving mechanism, so that the control part can be used to judge whether the user completes the cleaning work, so that the air conditioner indoor unit can be more intelligent.

[0089] In some embodiments of the present application, determining whether the cleaning action of the user is ended comprises: obtaining image information of the avoidance space, and determining whether the cleaning action of the user is ended according to the image information. It should be noted that the air conditioner indoor unit can further comprise an image acquisition module, the image acquisition module 70 can be a camera, the image acquisition module can be in communication connection with the control unit, the image acquisition module can obtain image information in the avoidance space, and the image acquisition module can transmit the image information in the avoidance space to the control unit. The control unit can determine whether the cleaning action of the user is ended according to the image information in the avoidance space transmitted by the image acquisition module. If the control unit can determine that the cleaning action of the user has ended according to the image information in the avoidance space transmitted by the image acquisition module, the control unit can issue a reset instruction to the control module. The control module can control the second driving mechanism according to the reset instruction issued by the control unit, drive the axial flow fan wheel assembly to rotate to the reset position through the second driving mechanism, and then control the first driving mechanism according to the reset instruction issued by the control unit to drive the movable shell portion to move towards the fixed shell portion to make the movable shell portion move to the reset position, that is, to drive the movable shell portion to close the fixed shell portion through the first driving mechanism. Thus, the control unit and the image acquisition module can work together to determine whether the user has completed the cleaning work, so as to make the air conditioner indoor unit more intelligent.

[0090] In some embodiments of the present application, determining whether the cleaning action of the user is ended according to the image information comprises: determining whether the cleaning action of the user exists according to the image information, if yes, continuing to determine whether the cleaning action of the user exists according to the image information after a second preset time, and if no, determining that the cleaning action of the user has ended. It should be noted that the second preset time can be preset in the control unit. The control unit can determine whether the cleaning action of the user exists according to the image information in the avoidance space transmitted by the image acquisition module, that is, whether the user is still cleaning the air conditioner indoor unit. If the control unit determines that the cleaning action of the user exists according to the image information in the avoidance space transmitted by the image acquisition module, that is, the user is still cleaning the air conditioner indoor unit, the control unit starts timing. When the timing time reaches the second preset time, the control unit continues to determine whether the cleaning action of the user exists according to the image information in the avoidance space transmitted by the image acquisition module. If the cleaning action of the user still exists, the control unit continues to determine whether the cleaning action of the user exists according to the image information in the avoidance space transmitted by the image acquisition module. If the cleaning action of the user does not exist, it is determined that the cleaning action of the user has ended. At this time, the control unit can issue a reset instruction to the control module. The control module can control the second driving mechanism according to the reset instruction of the control unit. The shaft flow fan wheel assembly is rotated to the reset position by the second driving mechanism. Then, the control module can control the first driving mechanism according to the reset instruction of the control unit. The movable shell portion moves towards the fixed shell portion to move the movable shell portion to the reset position, that is, the movable shell portion closes the fixed shell portion. In this way, the judgment accuracy of the control unit can be improved, and the judgment error can be avoided.

[0091] In some embodiments of the present application, the control of the rotation of the axial flow fan wheel assembly of the air conditioner indoor unit comprises: controlling the rotation of the axial flow fan wheel assembly by 120-150°. It should be noted that the control module can drive the axial flow fan wheel assembly to rotate by 120-150° through the second driving mechanism, for example, the second driving mechanism drives the axial flow fan wheel assembly to rotate by 135°. The axial flow fan wheel assembly can be conveniently cleaned after rotating by 120-150°. After the user finishes cleaning, the control module can drive the axial flow fan wheel assembly to rotate in the opposite direction by 120-150° through the second driving mechanism. In this way, the axial flow fan wheel assembly can be maximally extended into the avoidance space, thereby facilitating the user to clean the axial flow fan wheel assembly.
