In addition, the technical solutions of each embodiment can be combined with each other, but it must be based on the realization of a person skilled in the art. When the combination of technical solutions contradicts each other or cannot be realized, it should be considered that the combination of technical solutions does not exist, and is not within the protection scope of the present application.

[0045] The present application provides an air conditioner indoor unit.

[0046] In the embodiments of the present application, as Figures 1 to 4As shown, the air conditioner indoor unit 100 includes a housing 10, which includes a face frame 12 and a face plate 11, the face frame 12 is provided with an indoor air outlet 121; the face plate 11 is movably installed on the face frame 12, the face plate 11 is provided with a fresh air interface 111, and the face plate 11 has a first position closing the indoor air outlet 121 and a second position opening the indoor air outlet 121 by moving upward, and between the first position and the second position, the face plate 11 also has a third position, at which the distance between the face plate 11 and the face frame 12 is d1, and at the second position, the distance between the face plate 11 and the face frame 12 is d2, d1 is greater than d2.

[0047] Specifically, the air conditioner indoor unit 100 can include a housing 10, which can include a face plate 11 and a face frame 12, the face frame 12 can be in a frame structure or a cover structure. The face frame 12 can be integrally formed, which can enhance the overall strength of the face frame 12, of course, the face frame 12 can also be separately provided, which is convenient for disassembly. The face plate 11 is installed on the front side of the face frame 12 to play a protective and decorative role. The face plate 11 and the face frame 12 are detachably connected to facilitate maintenance of the devices installed on the face frame 12.

[0048] Further, the face frame 12 has an indoor air inlet 124 and an indoor air outlet 121, the indoor air inlet 124 is arranged at the top of the face frame 12, the indoor air outlet 121 is arranged at the lower end of the front side of the face frame 12, and the indoor air inlet 124 and the indoor air outlet 121 are communicated to form an air duct; the air conditioner indoor unit 100 further includes a heat exchanger and a fan assembly, the heat exchanger and the fan assembly are arranged in the air duct, the fan assembly is used to drive air to enter the air duct from the indoor air inlet 124, and after heat exchange with the heat exchanger, the air is discharged from the indoor air outlet 121. So as to achieve the purpose of adjusting the indoor air temperature. Of course, in some embodiments, the shape of the heat exchanger can be roughly U-shaped or V-shaped.

[0049] In order to hide the air outlet position of a conventional air conditioner indoor unit 100, improve the coordination of the air conditioner indoor unit 100 in the front view, and make the panel 11 movable along the front side of the face frame 12, the panel 11 can be moved up and down to shield the indoor air outlet 121 arranged at the lower end of the front side of the face frame 12. However, the existing air conditioner indoor unit 100 directly moves the panel 11 vertically up and down along the front side of the face frame 12. If the rear side of the panel 11 or the front side of the face frame 12 is deformed or has a gap or unevenness in cooperation with each other during long-term use, or the assembly precision cannot be guaranteed, etc., the rear side of the panel 11 and the front side of the face frame 12 will rub against each other during the movement of the panel 11 to cover and uncover the indoor air outlet 121, thereby generating noise. At the same time, the friction will increase the moving resistance of the panel 11 on the face frame 12, thereby increasing the burden of the moving mechanism, shortening the service life of the air conditioner indoor unit 100, or replacing the moving mechanism with a larger load to resist the resistance, thereby increasing the manufacturing cost and being not conducive to the development of the enterprise.

[0050] In the embodiment of the present application, the panel 11 can move up and down to shield the indoor air outlet 121 on the face frame 12. On the moving track of the panel 11, the panel 11 has a first position, which is the position of the panel 11 when the panel 11 shields the indoor air outlet 121, that is, the position of the panel 11 when the air conditioner indoor unit 100 is in the off state. On the moving track of the panel 11, the panel 11 has a second position, which is the position of the panel 11 when the panel 11 completely opens the indoor air outlet 121, that is, the position of the panel 11 when the air conditioner indoor unit 100 is in the on state. On the moving track of the panel 11, the panel 11 also has a third position, which is the position of the panel 11 between the first position and the second position when the panel 11 moves from the first position to the second position. That is, when the panel 11 is in the third position, the distance between the panel 11 and the face frame 12 is d1, and when the panel 11 is in the second position, the distance between the panel 11 and the face frame 12 is d2, d1 is greater than d2. It can be understood that when the panel 11 is in the third position, the distance between the panel 11 and the face frame 12 is greater than the distance between the panel 11 and the face frame 12 when the panel 11 is in the second position, that is, when the panel 11 moves upward to open the indoor air outlet 121 or moves downward to cover the indoor air outlet 121, the panel 11 also moves westward away from the front side of the face frame 12, that is, the panel 11 is separated from the face frame 12, so as to avoid friction when the panel 11 moves on the face frame 12.

[0051] As shown in Figure 3 The air conditioner indoor unit 100 can also include the air deflector 14, which can guide the air blown out through the indoor air outlet 121 after the air conditioner indoor unit 100 is turned on, and can also converge on the face frame 12 and the panel when the air conditioner indoor unit 100 is turned off, thereby hiding the indoor air outlet 121, and preventing dust from entering the air duct from the indoor air outlet 121 when the air conditioner indoor unit 100 is turned off, and the dust will be blown out from the indoor air outlet 121 when the air conditioner indoor unit 100 is turned on, thereby improving the user experience.

[0052] The air conditioner indoor unit 100 comprises a shell 10, the shell 10 comprises a face frame 12 and a panel 11, the indoor air outlet 121 is arranged on the face frame 12; the panel 11 is movably installed on the face frame 12, the fresh air docking port 111 is arranged on the panel 11, on the moving track of the panel 11, the panel 11 has a first position for closing the indoor air outlet 121, and a second position for opening the indoor air outlet 121 by moving upward, between the first position and the second position, the panel 11 further has a third position, when the panel 11 is in the third position, the distance between the panel 11 and the face frame 12 is d1, when the panel 11 is in the second position, the distance between the panel 11 and the face frame 12 is d2, d1 is greater than d2. In this way, by arranging the third position on the moving track of the panel 11, and the distance d1 between the panel 11 and the face frame 12 when the panel 11 is in the third position is greater than the distance d2 between the panel 11 and the face frame 12 when the panel 11 is in the second position. When the panel 11 moves upward to open the indoor air outlet 121, the panel 11 moves upward while moving away from the front side of the face frame 12, i.e. from the first position to the third position, after reaching the third position, the panel 11 continues to move upward while moving towards the front side of the face frame 12, or the panel 11 moves parallelly upward for a distance and then moves towards the front side of the face frame 12, until the panel 11 reaches the second position. In this way, the friction between the panel 11 and the face frame 12 can be effectively avoided, the noise can be reduced, the service life of the machine can be prolonged, and the user experience can be improved.

[0053] In some embodiments, the air conditioner can further comprise a fresh air device, which can ventilate without opening the window. By continuously supplying air and returning air, the dirty air in the room is discharged, and the outdoor air is continuously supplied into the room after filtration, the indoor and outdoor air circulates, thereby improving the indoor air quality. The fresh air system is relatively independently arranged relative to the air conditioning system, so that the fresh air system can operate independently when the air conditioning system is not turned on.

[0054] Specifically, the front side of the face frame 12 is provided with a fresh air outlet 122, the face plate 11 is provided with a fresh air docking port 111, and the air conditioner indoor unit 100 further comprises a sealing piece 123, which is arranged on the outer periphery of the fresh air outlet 122 close to the face plate 11 and / or the sealing piece 123 is arranged on the fresh air docking port 111 close to the outer periphery of the face frame 12. In the embodiment of the present application, the fresh air outlet 122 is fixedly arranged on the face frame 12, and the fresh air docking port 111 is fixedly arranged on the face plate 11. Since the face plate 11 is movably installed on the face frame 12, that is, the fresh air outlet 122 and the fresh air docking port 111 are partially communicated and fully communicated when the face plate 11 is in the first position and the second position, or the fresh air docking port 111 is large enough to make the fresh air outlet 122 in the on state when the face plate 11 is in the first position or the second position. In order to prevent the gap between the face plate 11 and the face frame 12 when the fresh air outlet 122 and the fresh air docking port 111 are docked, the channel leaks, and causes condensation water leakage, the sealing piece 123 can be arranged on the outer periphery of the fresh air outlet 122 close to the face plate 11, or the sealing piece 123 can be arranged on the outer periphery of the fresh air docking port 111 close to the face frame 12, or the sealing piece 123 can be arranged on the outer periphery of the fresh air outlet 122 close to the face plate 11 and the outer periphery of the fresh air docking port 111 close to the face frame 12. By arranging the sealing piece 123, the fresh air outlet 122 and the fresh air docking port 111 are connected to form an air supply channel, which can effectively prevent the fresh air from blowing out of the gap between the face plate 11 and the face frame 12 to cause abnormal noise or condensation water leakage.

[0055] However, the seal 123 is arranged on the outer periphery of the panel 11 close to the fresh air outlet 122, or the seal 123 is arranged on the outer periphery of the face frame 12 close to the fresh air interface 111, or the seal 123 is arranged on the outer periphery of the panel 11 close to the fresh air outlet 122 and the outer periphery of the face frame 12 close to the fresh air interface 111. When the panel 11 directly moves upward, the seal 123 is subjected to mutual friction between the panel 11 or the face frame 12, or the two seals 123. Long-term use will inevitably cause damage to the seal 123, resulting in air leakage and condensation leakage. In order to effectively prevent the seal 123 from being subjected to mutual friction when moving with the panel 11, the face frame 12 or the two seals 123, the distance d1 of the panel 11 in the third position is greater than the distance d2 of the panel 11 in the second position plus the thickness of the seal 123. In this way, the seal 123 can be prevented from being subjected to friction with the panel 11 or the face frame 12 when the panel 11 moves on the face frame 12, reducing the wear of the seal 123, ensuring the air tightness of the air supply channel, and preventing air leakage, condensation leakage and other situations. Of course, in the embodiments of the present application, the seal 123 is made of flexible material, such as silicone or resin.

[0056] As Figure 7As shown in the drawings, in an embodiment, the air conditioner indoor unit 100 further comprises a guide driving assembly 13 which drives the panel 11 to move in the up-down direction, the guide driving assembly 13 comprises a driving bracket 131 and a driving device 132, the driving bracket 131 is connected to the panel 11 and the driving device 132, and the driving device 132 is installed on the face frame 12. It can be understood that in the embodiment of the present application, the movement of the panel 11 on the face frame 12 is driven by a guide driving mechanism, which can drive the panel 11 to move from the first position to the second position through the third position, thereby realizing the opening of the indoor air outlet 121; or it can drive the panel 11 to move from the second position to the second position through the third position, thereby realizing the closing of the indoor air outlet 121. The guide driving assembly 13 comprises a driving bracket 131 and a driving device 132, the driving bracket 131 can be arranged in a substantially fan shape, one end of which is detachably connected to the panel 11, and the other end is connected to the driving device 132, the driving device 132 drives the driving bracket 131 and in turn drives the panel 11 to move on the face frame 12, and the driving device 132 is installed on the face frame 12. Of course, in other embodiments, the driving bracket 131 can also be arranged in a rod shape, one end of which is connected to the panel 11, and the other end is connected to the driving device 132 fixed on the face frame 12, thereby driving the panel 11 to move on the face frame 12.

[0057] As shown in the drawings, Figures 5 to 8 In an embodiment, the front side of the face frame 12 is provided with a mounting groove 125, and the driving device 132 is embedded in the mounting groove 125. In order to facilitate the installation of the driving device 132 on the face frame 12 and reduce the influence of the driving device 132 on the air duct of the air conditioner indoor unit 100, the mounting groove 125 is formed on the front side of the face frame 12 to facilitate the installation and fixation of the driving device 132. Of course, the mounting groove can also be provided at both ends of the face frame 12 along the length direction as needed, which is not specially limited here.

[0058] Further, the number of mounting grooves 125 can be one, two or more. When the number of mounting grooves 125 is one, the mounting groove 125 can be arranged at the middle of the front side of the face frame 12 or at one of the two ends of the face frame 12 along the length direction. As shown in the drawings, Figure 6 When the number of mounting grooves 125 is two, the mounting grooves can be arranged on the front side of the face frame 12 or on both sides of the face frame 12 along the length direction. When the number of mounting grooves 125 is more than two, the number of mounting grooves 125 can be arranged along the length direction of the face frame 12, thereby achieving better support and control effect on the panel 11.

[0059] like Figure 8 As shown, in one embodiment, the driving device 132 includes a power mechanism 1321 and a guide mechanism 1322. The power mechanism 1321 drives the panel 11 to move up and down via the drive bracket 131. The guide mechanism 1322 is used to guide the panel 11 from the first position to the third position, and to guide the panel 11 from the third position to the second position. It can be understood that the power mechanism 1321 provides power for the panel 11 to move on the frame 12 to open and close the indoor air outlet 121, while the guide mechanism 1322 guides and limits the power mechanism 1321 in the direction in which it drives the panel 11 to move on the frame 12. The guiding mechanism 1322 described in this invention is adapted to move the panel 11 upward on the frame 12 to open the indoor air outlet 121 from a first position to a third position, that is, the panel 11 moves towards the west away from the front side of the frame 12, so that the panel 11 disengages from the frame 12. After reaching the third position, the panel 11 can maintain the distance d1 between the panel 11 and the frame 12 at the third position and move upward, and then move towards the second position; or it can reach the third position and then immediately move towards the second position, thereby opening the indoor air outlet 121 and sealing the fresh air supply channel. Of course, when the indoor air conditioner unit 100 is closed by the indoor air outlet 121, the power mechanism 1321 drives the drive bracket 131 to move in a direction from the second position to the third position and then back to the first position, so that the panel 11 covers the indoor air outlet 121.

[0060] In one embodiment, the power mechanism 1321 includes a motor 13211 and a transmission component 13212. One of the transmission component 13212 and the drive bracket 131 is provided with a first pin 13213, and the other is provided with a slotted hole 1311. The slotted hole 1311 extends in a front-rear direction, and the first pin 13213 is inserted into the slotted hole 1311. The first pin 13213 has a degree of movement in the extending direction of the slotted hole 1311. It is understood that the power device of the power mechanism 1321 can be a motor 13211 or a cylinder, etc., and this is not considered a limitation of the present invention. In this embodiment, the transmission component 13212 can be a rack and pinion drive or a lead screw drive, and no special limitation is made here. This embodiment uses a rack and pinion drive as an example. Using a rack and pinion drive can achieve better control of the motion trajectory due to its high transmission accuracy, and at the same time, the rack and pinion drive has low noise, improving the user experience.

[0061] Furthermore, such as Figure 8As shown, one of the transmission member 13212 and the driving support 131 is provided with a first bolt 13213, and the other is provided with a waist-shaped hole 1311. It should be noted that the transmission member 13212 is driven to move the panel 11 on the face frame 12 by cooperating with the driving support 131, and the transmission member 13212 and the driving support 131 are driven by the cooperation of the first bolt 13213 and the waist-shaped hole. This embodiment is described by taking the first bolt 13213 arranged on the transmission member 13212 as an example. The first bolt 13213 extends along the length direction of the air conditioner indoor unit 100 and is arranged in the waist-shaped hole 1311 of the driving support 131, thereby driving the driving support 131 to move. The first bolt 13213 has a movable degree in the extension direction of the waist-shaped hole 1311, so that the panel 11 can be buffered between the transmission member 13212 and the driving support 131 when the panel 11 is moved to the first position or the second position on the face frame 12, thereby making the movement of the panel 11 on the face frame 12 more smooth, and reducing the panel 11 shaking or the vibration of the air conditioner indoor unit 100 caused by the sudden start or stop of the power mechanism 1321, avoiding the noise and damage to the air conditioner indoor unit 100 caused by the vibration.

[0062] As shown, Figures 8 to 10 In an embodiment, the guide mechanism 1322 further includes a guide groove 13221 fixed relative to the face frame 12, and the driving support 131 is provided with a second bolt 1312 inserted into the guide groove 13221. The guide groove 13221 includes a first groove segment a extending forward and upward, and a second groove segment b extending upward from the end of the first groove segment a. In this way, the guide groove 13221 is arranged to guide and limit the track of the panel 11 moving on the face frame 12, and the guide groove 13221 guides the driving support 131 by the second bolt 1312 arranged on the driving support 131, thereby achieving the guidance of the panel 11. Further, the guide groove 13221 includes the first groove segment a and the second groove segment b, and the second groove segment b is communicated with the end of the first groove segment a. The first groove segment is arranged obliquely upward, so that the second bolt 1312 arranged in the guide groove 13221 can move the panel 11 from the first position to the third position or from the third position to the second position when the driving support 131 drives the panel 11 to move on the face frame 12, thereby preventing the panel 11 from rubbing against the face frame 12 when moving.

[0063] In the embodiments of the present application, the guide groove 13221 can be arranged in a substantially U-shaped or V-shaped manner, and the shape of the guide groove 13221 can be determined according to the required stroke of the movement of the panel 11 on the face frame 12. The guide groove 13221 arranged in a substantially U-shaped manner is suitable for arranging the sealing member 123 close to the outer periphery of the fresh air outlet 122 of the panel 11, or arranging the sealing member 123 close to the outer periphery of the fresh air connection port 111 of the face frame 12, or arranging the sealing member 123 close to the outer periphery of the fresh air outlet 122 of the panel 11 and close to the outer periphery of the fresh air connection port 111 of the face frame 12. The panel 11 needs to move on the face frame 12 with a larger interval, so that the panel 11 can move upward to be separated from the face frame 12, preventing the panel 11 from rubbing against the face frame 12 and the sealing member 123. When the panel 11 is not arranged with the sealing member 123 between the panel 11 and the face frame 12, the interval between the panel 11 and the face frame 12 when the panel 11 moves on the face frame 12 is smaller than that when the sealing member 123 is arranged, and the guide groove 13221 can be arranged in a V-shaped manner. In this way, when the panel 11 moves on the face frame 12, the panel 11 moves upward and forward along the first groove segment a by the second latch 1312 arranged on the driving bracket 131 until reaching the third position, and then moves upward and backward, i.e., close to the front side of the face frame 12, from the third position until the panel 11 reaches the second position. The panel 11 is in a position fully opening the indoor air outlet 121. The guide groove 13221 can be arranged in a substantially U-shaped or V-shaped manner, which is only an example of the present application, but is not limited thereto.

[0064] Specifically, in an embodiment, as shown in Figure 10 The second groove segment b includes a parallel segment extending upward from the end of the first groove segment a, and an inclined segment extending upward and backward from the end of the parallel segment. The second groove segment b is formed by extending upward from the end of the first groove segment a, and includes a parallel end and an inclined end. The panel 11 moves along the face frame 12 with the same interval d1 along the parallel end. The panel 11 moves from the third position to the second position along the inclined end, so that the panel 11 is attached to the face frame 12, or so that the sealing member 123 connects the fresh air outlet 122 and the fresh air connection port 111, to ensure that the fresh air outlet 122 and the fresh air connection port 111 are in a sealed state when the indoor air outlet 121 of the air conditioner indoor unit 100 is opened, preventing the occurrence of air leakage, noise, condensation leakage and other situations.

[0065] As shown in Figure 10As shown, in an embodiment, the number of the guide grooves 13221 includes two, and the two guide grooves 13221 are arranged along the front-rear direction. It can be understood that the number of the guide grooves 13221 can be arranged according to requirements, such as one, two, four, and six, etc. For example, when the guide grooves 13221 are arranged as one, the guide groove 13221 is arranged opposite to the power mechanism 1321 and on both sides of the driving support 131, that is, one of the power mechanism 1321 and the guide groove 13221 is on one side of the driving support 131 along the length direction, and the other is on the other side of the driving support 131 along the length direction. When the guide grooves 13221 are two, the two guide grooves 13221 can be arranged on the side of the driving support 131 opposite to the power mechanism 1321 at the same time, or the two guide grooves 13221 are arranged on both sides of the driving support 131, respectively. When the number of the driving supports 131 is four, the four guide grooves 13221 are arranged on both sides of the driving support 131 along the length direction, respectively, to limit both ends of the second bolt 1312 arranged on the driving support 131. When the number of the guide grooves 13221 is six, the arrangement is the same as when the number of the guide grooves 13221 is four, which can be arranged as when the number of the guide grooves 13221 is four, and details are not repeated here. The guide grooves 13221 are partially stacked along the front-rear direction, which can enhance the guiding and limiting effect of the guide grooves 13221 on the second bolt 1312, prevent the structure of the guide grooves 13221 from being damaged due to excessive local stress, and protect the guide grooves 13221. At the same time, arranging multiple guide grooves 13221 can make the driving support 131 more stable during operation. Reduce the noise generated by mechanical movement.

[0066] As Figures 12 to 13As shown, in an embodiment, the number of the second insertion pins 1312 includes two, two of the second insertion pins 1312 are arranged correspondingly with two of the guide grooves 13221, and the two second insertion pins 1312 are arranged staggeredly in the front-back direction. It can be understood that the number of the second insertion pins 1312 can be arranged according to the number of the guide grooves 13221, or arranged in a form, which is not specially limited here. The present application is described with the guide grooves 13221 arranged as four, and the four guide grooves 13221 are arranged oppositely in pairs on the two sides of the driving support 131. The number of the second insertion pins 1312 is arranged as two, and the two second insertion pins 1312 are arranged on the two sides of the driving support 131 to limit the moving direction of the driving support 131. The two ends of the two second insertion pins 1312 along the length direction extend into the guide grooves 13221, and under the driving of the transmission member 13212, the two ends move along the guide grooves 13221, thereby realizing the guiding effect of the panel 11 moving on the face frame 12.

[0067] Further, as shown, Figure 13 The two second insertion pins 1312 are arranged staggeredly in the up-down direction. It can be understood that the two second insertion pins 1312 are arranged staggeredly in the up-down direction, which can make the guide grooves 13221 partially overlap in the up-down direction, and can make the driving support 131 more stable when moving.

[0068] As shown, Figures 9 to 13 In an embodiment, the guide mechanism 1322 further includes a positioning groove 13222 fixed relative to the face frame 12, the first insertion pin 13213 is arranged on the transmission member 13212, the positioning groove 13222 is arranged oppositely with the transmission member 13212 on the two sides of the driving support 131, the first insertion pin 13213 passes through the waist-shaped hole 1311 and is connected with the positioning groove 13222, and the positioning groove 13222 extends in the up-down direction. As shown, the positioning groove 13222 and the transmission member 13212 are arranged oppositely on the two sides of the driving support 131 along the length direction, and the first insertion pin 13213 passes through the waist-shaped hole 1311 and is partially located in the positioning groove 13222. In this way, when the transmission member 13212 drives the driving support 131 to move, the end of the first insertion pin 13213 arranged on the transmission member 13212 away from the transmission member 13212 is limited, thereby making the transmission member 13212 more stable when driving the driving support 131 to move, reducing the vibration caused by the rotation of the motor 13211 and the end point not being fixed, making the panel 11 more smooth when opening and closing on the indoor air outlet 121, and reducing the vibration caused as a hazard.

[0069] As Figures 7 to 14 shown in the drawings, in an embodiment, the driving device 132 further comprises a driving box 1323, the driving box 1323 comprises a box body 13231, a left fixed cover 13232 and a right fixed cover 13233, the left fixed cover 13232 covers the left side of the box body 13231 to form a first installation cavity, the transmission member 13212 is arranged in the first installation cavity, the right fixed cover 13233 covers the right side of the box body 13231 to form a second installation cavity, and the driving support 131 and the guide groove 13221 are arranged in the second installation cavity. Figure 8 It can be seen that the driving box 1323 comprises a box body 13231, a left fixed cover 13232 and a right fixed cover 13233, the box body 13231 is composed of four side walls and a partition plate, the left fixed cover 13232 and the right fixed cover 13233 cover the two sides of the box body 13231 respectively to form an installation cavity, the partition plate divides the installation cavity into a first installation cavity and a second installation cavity, and the motor 13211 is arranged outside the driving box 1323 and on the side of the left end cover away from the box body 13231. The transmission member 13212 is arranged in the first installation cavity, a limiting groove is formed in the left fixed cover 13232, the rack is arranged in the limiting groove in a sliding manner, the gear is arranged in the front end of the first installation cavity in a relatively fixed manner and is connected with the motor 13211. The partition plate is provided with a protruding strip on the wall surface close to the first installation cavity, and the protruding strip and the limiting groove are used for limiting the rack to move in the upward and downward directions only. The second installation cavity is provided with a guide groove 13221 and a guide support, the guide groove 13221 can be arranged on the wall surface of the partition plate or on the wall surface of the fixed cover close to the partition plate to guide and limit the driving support 131. The left fixed cover 13232 and the right fixed cover 13233 can be connected with the box body 13231 in the form of bolts. Of course, in other embodiments, other connection modes such as buckling can also be used.

[0070] Further, as Figure 8 and Figure 9As shown, the box body 13231 is provided with a sliding groove 13234 extending in the up-down direction, and the transmission member 13212 is connected with the driving support 131 through the sliding groove 13234. It can be understood that the sliding groove 13234 is arranged on the box body 13231, i.e. the sliding groove 13234 is arranged on the partition plate. Since the driving support 131 and the driving member are arranged in the first mounting cavity and the second mounting cavity and separated by the partition plate, the sliding groove 13234 is arranged on the partition plate so that the first bolt 13213 arranged on the rack can pass through and be connected with the driving support 131. The sliding groove 13234 extends in the up-down direction and is arranged opposite to the positioning groove 13222, so as to facilitate the positioning of the driving support 131 moving in the up-down direction. In addition, a mounting through hole is arranged at one end of the sliding groove 13234, and the mounting through hole is arranged to facilitate the mounting of the rack.

[0071] As shown in the drawings, Figures 1 to 4 As shown in an embodiment, when the panel 11 moves to the first position, the upper edge of the fresh air outlet 122 is aligned with the upper edge of the fresh air interface 111; when the panel 11 moves to the second position, the lower edge of the fresh air outlet 122 is aligned with the lower edge of the fresh air interface 111. That is, the caliber of the fresh air interface 111 in the up-down direction is greater than or equal to the caliber of the fresh air outlet 122 in the up-down direction plus the distance that the panel 11 moves on the face frame 12. In this way, it can be ensured that when the panel 11 is opened or closed on the indoor air outlet 121, the fresh air outlet 122 and the fresh air interface 111 can both be in a fully open state, which can reduce the influence of the panel 11 on the fresh air outlet 122 and the fresh air interface 111 when the panel 11 is opened or closed on the indoor air outlet 121, so that the fresh air system and the air conditioning system can be completely independently operated. The indoor unit is more humanized, and the user satisfaction is improved.
