[0049] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Fig. 9 The housing 100 according to the first aspect of the present invention comprises: a housing body 10 and a filter support 20 .

[0050] Specifically, the shell body 10 has a display installation area 13; the filter bracket 20 is connected to the shell body 10, and at least part of the filter bracket 20 is arranged in the display installation area 13, that is, the filter bracket 20 can be partially arranged in the display installation area 13, and the filter bracket 20 can also be completely arranged in the display installation area 13, and one end of the filter bracket 20 connected to the shell body 10 (such as Figure 8 The front end of the filter support 20 shown in the figure is formed with a recessed avoidance gap 21, and the avoidance gap 21 is formed along the thickness direction of the filter support 20 (such as Figure 8 The filter bracket 20 is penetrated by the filter bracket 20 to avoid the display box 200 arranged in the display installation area 13.

[0051] For example, Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, a rectangular display installation area 13 is provided on the right side of the front surface of the shell body 10, the front side of the filter bracket 20 is provided in the display installation area 13, and the front side of the filter bracket 20 forms an avoidance gap 21 in the front-to-back direction.

[0052] The housing 100 of the present invention is provided with a relief notch 21 on the filter support 20, so that the left side of the display box 200 can extend from the relief notch 21. When the temperature sensor 300 is installed on the left side of the display box 200, the temperature sensor 300 can contact with the outside air and receive the indoor temperature signal. Compared with the solution in the prior art that the temperature sensor 300 and the display box 200 need to be separately provided to ensure that the temperature sensor 300 can normally receive the indoor temperature signal, the housing 100 of this embodiment can integrate the temperature sensor 300 in the display box 200, improve the integration of the display box 200, reduce the use of parts, and reduce the production cost. At the same time, it can ensure that the temperature sensor 300 can normally receive the indoor temperature signal, so that the air conditioner indoor unit 1000 can operate normally. In addition, the temperature sensor 300 will not affect the installation of other components in the display box 200, which is convenient for improving the installation efficiency.

[0053] According to the shell 100 of the embodiment of the present invention, an avoidance notch 21 is set on the filter bracket 20, so that the temperature sensor 300 can be integrated in the display box 200, which can ensure that the temperature sensor 300 can normally receive the temperature signal, so that the air-conditioning indoor unit 1000 can operate normally, and can also improve the integration of the display box 200, reduce the use of components, and reduce production costs.

[0054] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 The filter bracket 20 is provided with a folded edge 22, which is connected to the periphery of the avoidance notch 21 and extends along the circumference of the avoidance notch 21. In this way, the folded edge 22 can strengthen the strength of the periphery of the avoidance notch 21, and prevent the periphery of the avoidance notch 21 from being damaged when the display box 200 is installed.

[0055] For example, Figure 8 As shown, the periphery of the avoidance gap 21 is bent toward the front and rear sides to form a folded edge 22, so that the strength of the periphery of the avoidance gap 21 can be further enhanced.

[0056] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Fig. 9 and Fig.10 The shell body 10 includes: a panel portion 11 and a top plate portion 12, the panel portion 11 extends vertically, the top plate portion 12 is connected to the top of the panel portion 11 and extends forward and backward, the filter bracket 20 is vertically arranged, and the upper end of the filter bracket 20 (such as Fig. 9 The upper end of the filter support 20 shown in FIG. 1 is connected to the top plate 12 and the front end (as shown in FIG. Fig. 9 The front end of the filter support 20 shown in the figure is connected to the panel portion 11. In this way, the panel portion 11 and the top plate portion 12 cooperate to form protection for the internal components of the shell body 10, and at the same time, a fixed position can be provided for the filter support 20.

[0057] The display installation area 13 is located at the panel part 11, and the avoidance notch 21 is formed by the front edge of the filter bracket 20 being recessed backward. In this way, the avoidance notch 21 can stably fix the display box 200 in the display installation area 13. At the same time, when the customer uses the air conditioner indoor unit 1000, the front of the panel part 11 faces the customer, so that the customer can conveniently observe the information in the display box 200 fixed on the panel part 11.

[0058] For example, Fig. 9 As shown, the panel portion 11 is the front surface of the shell body 10, and the panel portion 11 is arranged in the up-down direction. The top plate portion 12 is the upper surface of the shell body 10, and the top plate portion 12 is arranged in the front-back direction. The panel portion 11 and the top plate portion 12 cooperate to form protection for the front and upper sides of the internal components of the shell body 10.

[0059] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 8 , Fig. 9 and Fig.10 The panel portion 11, the top plate portion 12 and the filter support 20 are integrally formed. In this way, the strength of the housing 100 can be ensured and the service life of the housing body 10 can be increased.

[0060] For example, Fig. 9 and Fig.10 As shown, the upper end of the panel portion 11 and the front end of the top plate portion 12 are integrally formed, and the front end of the filter bracket 20 is formed as a whole with the panel portion 11 except for the position of the avoidance notch 21, and the upper end of the filter bracket 20 is integrally formed with the top plate portion 12, so that the overall strength of the shell body 10 can be ensured.

[0061] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Fig. 9 , Fig.13 and Fig.15 The top plate 12 is provided with an air inlet 121 penetrating the top plate 12. Indoor air can enter the shell body 10 from the air inlet 121 and contact the temperature sensor 300, so that the temperature sensor 300 can accurately receive the indoor temperature signal. The filter bracket 20 is provided with a guide groove 23 for installing the filter 400. The lower end of the guide groove 23 (such as Fig. 9 The lower end of the guide groove 23 shown in FIG. 2A ) passes through the lower end edge of the filter support 20, and the upper end of the guide groove 23 (as shown in FIG. Fig. 9 The upper end of the guide groove 23 shown in the figure extends backward to the rear edge of the air inlet 121. When installing the filter 400, the filter 400 can slide along the direction of the guide groove 23. The guide groove 23 provides guidance for the filter 400 to prevent the filter 400 from running off, thereby ensuring that the filter 400 can be installed in place.

[0062] For example, Fig. 9 and Fig.13As shown, the top plate portion 12 is provided with a plurality of air inlets 121, and the plurality of air inlets 121 can ensure the air intake volume, so that the temperature sensor 300 can receive the indoor temperature signal more accurately. A guide groove 23 is provided on the left surface of the filter bracket 20, and the cross-section of the guide groove 23 is U-shaped, so that it can abut against the end of the filter 400, and at the same time can ensure that the end of the filter 400 can slide normally in the guide groove 23.

[0063] According to some optional embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 3 , Figure 8 and Fig.15 The guide groove 23 includes: a first groove section 231, a second groove section 232 and a third groove section 233. The first groove section 231 is along the up-down direction (such as Figure 8 The second slot section 232 is connected to the upper end of the first slot section 231 (as shown in the upper and lower directions). Figure 8 The third slot section 233 is connected to the rear end of the second slot section 232 (as shown in FIG. Figure 8 As a result, the cross-sectional shape of the filter screen 400 is consistent with the direction of the guide groove 23, so that the installation of the filter screen 400 can be facilitated.

[0064] For example, Figure 8 and Fig.15 As shown, the lower end of the first slot section 231 is close to the lower end of the panel portion 11, the lower end of the second slot section 232 is connected to the upper end of the first slot section 231, the second slot section 232 is formed into a quarter arc shape, the rear end of the second slot section 232 is connected to the front end of the third slot section 233, the third slot section 233 extends in the front-to-back direction, and the rear end of the third slot section 233 is close to the rear side of the top plate portion 12. During the installation of the filter screen 400, the rear end of the filter screen 400 first enters the first slot section 231, and then the filter screen 400 passes through the second slot section 232 and the third slot section 233 and enters the interior of the housing 100. When the rear end of the filter screen 400 abuts against the rear end of the third slot section 233, the installation of the filter screen 400 is completed.

[0065] According to some optional embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 3 , Figure 8 and Fig.15 The first slot section 231 includes: a first vertical section 2311, a second vertical section 2312 and an oblique pressure section 2313. The first vertical section 2311 extends vertically along the vertical direction, and one end of the oblique pressure section 2313 (such as Figure 8 The lower end of the oblique pressure section 2313 shown in FIG. 23 is connected to the upper end of the first vertical section 2311 (as shown in FIG. Figure 8 The upper end of the first vertical section 2311 shown in FIG. Figure 8The upper end of the oblique pressure section 2313 shown in FIG. 23 is extended upward and backward in an inclined manner, and the second vertical section 2312 extends vertically along the vertical direction and is connected to the upper end of the oblique pressure section 2313 (as shown in FIG. Figure 8 The upper end of the oblique pressure section 2313 shown in the figure) and the second slot section 232. As a result, the oblique pressure section 2313 has a small inclination angle, which can facilitate the movement of the filter screen 400 in the guide groove 23, thereby further facilitating the installation of the filter screen 400.

[0066] For example, Figure 8 As shown, the first vertical section 2311 extends in the up-down direction, the second vertical section 2312 extends in the up-down direction, the lower end of the oblique pressure section 2313 is connected to the first vertical section 2311, and the upper end of the oblique pressure section 2313 is connected to the second vertical section 2312, the oblique pressure section 2313 extends obliquely from the lower front to the upper rear, and the angle between the oblique pressure section 2313 and the up-down direction is small, so that the filter 400 can be prevented from being damaged by excessive deformation in the straw during the movement of the filter 400 in the guide groove 23, so that the filter 400 can be installed normally without damaging the filter 400.

[0067] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the filter support 20 is in the left and right direction (such as Figure 4 The left and right directions shown in FIG. 1 are directed toward one side of the air inlet 121 (such as Figure 4 The left side of the filter support 20 shown in the figure is provided with two guide ribs 24 arranged at intervals, and the two guide ribs 24 cooperate to define a guide groove 23. Therefore, the guide groove 23 has a simple structure and is easy to process. At the same time, the two guide ribs 24 can abut against the end of the filter 400, effectively preventing the filter 400 from sliding out of the guide groove 23.

[0068] For example, Figure 4 As shown, the left surface of the filter support 20 is provided with two guide ribs 24 protruding to the left, and the two guide ribs 24 are arranged at intervals in the up and down directions, thereby forming a guide groove 23 with an opening facing left and a U-shaped cross section.

[0069] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 3 and Figure 8 The filter support 20 is provided with a connecting boss 26, which is connected between the filter support 20 and the inner wall surface of the housing 100. Thus, the connecting boss 26 can increase the connection area between the filter support 20 and the housing body 10, thereby increasing the fixing strength between the filter support 20 and the housing body 10. In addition, the connecting boss 26 is provided inside the housing body 10, which can improve the space utilization rate inside the housing body 10, and at the same time, the connecting boss 26 can be protected to prevent the housing body 10 from being damaged.

[0070] According to some optional embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 8 The connecting boss 26 is formed at one end of the filter support 20 facing the air outlet 14 of the shell body 10 (such as Figure 3 The filter support 20 is located at the lower end of the filter support 20 as shown in the figure, and is located at the left and right direction of the filter support 20 (as shown in the figure). Figure 3 The side of the air inlet 121 away from the shell body 10 in the left and right direction (as shown in FIG. Figure 4 The right side of the filter holder 20 is shown).

[0071] Thus, the connection boss 26 is close to the end of the filter support 20, which can increase the connection strength between the end of the filter support 20 and the shell body 10, thereby further increasing the connection strength between the filter support 20 and the shell body 10 as a whole. At the same time, the connection boss 26 is arranged on the side away from the air inlet 121 of the shell body 10. During the installation of the filter 400, the connection boss 26 can be prevented from colliding with the filter 400, thereby ensuring that the filter 400 can be installed normally. In addition, when the filter 400 slides in the guide groove 23, the connection boss 26 can prevent the filter support 20 from shaking, thereby ensuring that the filter 400 can slide stably in the guide groove 23.

[0072] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The air conditioner indoor unit 1000 according to the second aspect of the embodiment of the present invention comprises: the housing 100, the display box 200 and the temperature sensor 300 of the first aspect of the embodiment.

[0073] Specifically, the display box 200 is disposed in the housing 100 and is located in the display installation area 13. One end of the display box 200 (eg Figure 4 The left end of the display box 200 shown in FIG. 1 ) extends through the avoidance gap 21 to the side of the filter bracket 20 facing the air inlet 121 of the housing 100 (as shown in FIG. Figure 4 The temperature sensor 300 is disposed on the display box 200 and is located at one end of the display box 200 (as shown in FIG. Figure 4 In this way, the display box 200 can protect the temperature sensor 300 inside the display box 200 to prevent dirt such as dust from contacting the temperature sensor 300 and affecting the temperature sensing effect of the temperature sensor 300.

[0074] According to the air-conditioning indoor unit 1000 of the embodiment of the present invention, by setting the shell 100 of the first aspect mentioned above on the air-conditioning indoor unit 1000 and setting the avoidance gap 21 on the filter bracket 20, the temperature sensor 300 can be integrated into the display box 200, which can ensure that the temperature sensor 300 can normally receive the temperature signal, so that the air-conditioning indoor unit 1000 can operate normally, and can also improve the integration of the display box 200, reduce the use of components, and reduce production costs.
