[0008] a water supply tank, the water supply tank is detachably arranged on the humidifying water tank or / and the indoor unit body, and the water supply tank is provided with a water outlet for supplying water to the humidifying water tank; wherein

[0009] the water supply tank has a first position mounted on the humidifying water tank or / and the indoor unit body and a second position detached from the humidifying water tank or / and the indoor unit body, when the water supply tank is in the first position, the water outlet is opened to supply water to the humidifying water tank, and when the water supply tank is in the second position, the water outlet is closed.

[0010] Through the above technical solution, when it is necessary to add water to the humidifying water tank, the user installs the water-filled water supply tank on the first position of the humidifying water tank or / and the indoor unit body, opens the water outlet of the water supply tank, and connects the inner cavity of the water supply tank with the inner cavity of the humidifying water tank. The water in the water supply tank enters the humidifying water tank through the water outlet, and the water adding operation is completed.

[0011] The air conditioner indoor unit of the present application, the user adds water to the humidifying water tank through the detachable water supply tank, when the water supply tank is in the second position, the drain port is closed, thereby reducing the outflow of the water in the water supply tank cavity before the water supply tank cavity is communicated with the humidifying water tank cavity, only when the water supply tank is in the first position installed on the humidifying water tank or / and the indoor unit body, water can be added to the humidifying water tank, the reliability of the water adding operation is increased; the user only needs to install the water supply tank containing water on the humidifying water tank or / and the indoor unit body to complete the water adding operation, the water adding operation is simple and easy to understand; the present application sets the humidifying water tank in the indoor unit body, which increases the reliability compared with the scheme of needing to detach the humidifying water tank and saves the cost; the air conditioner indoor unit of the present application further increases the water storage space of the air conditioner indoor unit through the water supply tank.

[0078] The specific embodiments of the air conditioner indoor unit provided by the present application will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Figures 1-10 The specific embodiments of the air conditioner indoor unit provided by the present application will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0079] Embodiment I

[0080] With reference to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the air conditioner indoor unit of the embodiment of the present application comprises: an indoor unit body 1, a humidification water tank 2 and a water supply tank 3; wherein the humidification water tank 2 is arranged inside the indoor unit for supplying water to the humidifier of the indoor unit body 1; and the water supply tank 3 is detachably mounted on the top of the indoor unit body 1 for adding water to the humidification water tank 2.

[0081] The air conditioner indoor unit of the embodiment of the present application is a horizontal hanging type air conditioner, and the indoor unit body is provided with an indoor heat exchanger, a fresh air component and an electric control box arranged respectively on the left side and the right side of the indoor heat exchanger, wherein the humidification water tank 2 is arranged between the fresh air component and the indoor heat exchanger.

[0082] The top of the indoor unit body 1 is provided with a mounting groove 10, the humidification water tank 2 is embedded in the mounting groove 10, and the water supply tank 3 is detachably mounted at the slot opening of the mounting groove 10. The water supply tank 3 has a first position mounted on the indoor unit body 1 and a second position detached from the indoor unit body 1.

[0083] With reference to Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 , the water supply tank 3 comprises: a water supply tank body 31 and a valve cover assembly 32.

[0084] The water supply tank body 31 comprises: a body 311 and a mounting bracket 313. The body 311 is in the shape of a cuboid as a whole, and an inner cavity for storing water is defined in the body 311. The body 311 is provided with a first mounting sleeve 312 extending in the up-down direction at a position offset to the rear end of the lower end surface of the body 311, and the passage of the first mounting sleeve 312 is in communication with the inner cavity of the body 311. A part of the mounting bracket 313 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the first mounting sleeve 312 and threadedly cooperates with the first mounting sleeve 312. The mounting bracket 313 is provided with a drain port 30 in communication with the space in the first mounting sleeve 312.

[0085] The valve cover assembly 32 is arranged on the water tank body 31 and is adapted to selectively seal the drain port 30. The valve cover assembly 32 comprises a top rod 323 which is arranged in the drain port 30 and is slidingly fitted on the mounting bracket 313 in the up-down direction. The top rod 323 is fixed with a valve cover 321 at the upper end thereof for sealing the drain port 30, and is provided with a protrusion at the lower end thereof. A compression spring is sleeved on the top rod 323, and in this embodiment, the compression spring is a compression spring. One end of the compression spring abuts against the protrusion at the lower end of the top rod 323, and the other end thereof abuts against the mounting bracket 313. When the water tank 3 is in the second position of being detached from the indoor unit body 1, the compression spring elastically abuts between the protrusion at the lower end of the top rod 323 and the mounting bracket 313, so as to stably seal the drain port 30 by the valve cover 321.

[0086] In this embodiment, when the user needs to add water into the water tank 3, the water tank 3 is turned over so that the drain port 30 faces upward, and then the top rod 323 is pressed to compress the compression spring, so that the top rod 323 pushes the valve cover 321 to open the drain port 30, and then water is poured into the inner cavity of the water tank 3 through the drain port 30. In other embodiments, a water inlet can also be arranged at the upper end of the tank body 311.

[0087] With reference to Figure 2 and Figure 5 The top of the humidifying water tank 2 is open, and a partition plate 22 is further arranged at the position of the upper end inside the humidifying water tank 2. The partition plate 22 extends in the front-rear direction to divide the space inside the humidifying water tank 2 into two parts, i.e., an upper part and a lower part. The space below the partition plate 22 is an inner cavity of the humidifying water tank 2 for storing water, and the space above the partition plate 22 is used for cooperation with the water tank 3.

[0088] In this embodiment, the partition plate 22 is also a guide plate which comprises a front segment 221 and a rear segment 222 which are sequentially connected in the front-rear direction. The height of the front segment 221 gradually decreases in the front-rear direction. A part of the rear segment 222 is protruded upward to form a protruding part. A through hole which is in communication with the inner cavity of the humidifying water tank 2 is further arranged on the rear segment 222, and the through hole is distributed around the protruding part.

[0089] When the water tank 3 is in the first position of being mounted on the indoor unit body 1, the protruding part lifts the top rod 323, the compression spring is in the compressed state, the valve cover 321 is away from the drain port 30, and the inner cavity of the humidifying water tank 2 is in communication with the inner cavity of the water tank 3.

[0090] With reference to Figure 6 , the bottom end of the mounting bracket 313 further extends downward with a surrounding structure. When the water tank 3 is in the second position of being detached from the indoor unit body 1, the bottom end of the top rod 323 is located in the surrounding structure, so as to reduce the possibility that other structures outside the protruding part are mistakenly touched to open the drain port 30.
