For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0047] The kitchen air conditioner 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0048] like Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the kitchen air conditioner 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention includes a housing 1, a first air duct member 2, a second air duct member 3, a first heat exchanger 4, a second heat exchanger 5 and a compressor 6.

[0049] refer to Figure 3 The housing 1 includes a first housing 10, a second housing 11 and a connecting housing 12. The first housing 10 and the second housing 11 are arranged at intervals along a first direction D1, and the connecting housing 12 connects the first housing 10 and the second housing 11. Figure 3 The first direction D1 is consistent with the front-to-back direction, and the first shell portion 10 , the connecting shell portion 12 and the second shell portion 11 are arranged in sequence along the front-to-back direction.

[0050] The connecting shell portion 12 includes a top surface, which is referred to as a reference surface f1. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the reference plane f1 is lower than the top of the first shell 10, and the reference plane f1 is lower than the top of the second shell 11. An escape groove 13 is formed above the reference plane f1 and between the first shell 10 and the second shell 11. The escape groove 13 passes through the housing 1 in the second direction D2. The second direction D2 is perpendicular to the first direction D1. For example, Figure 1-Figure 3 In the embodiment, the first direction D1 is the front-to-back direction, the second direction D2 is the left-to-right direction, and the avoidance groove 13 is arranged on the housing 1 along the left-to-right direction.

[0051] Combination Figure 3 , the first air duct member 2 can be arranged in the first shell 10. The first air duct member 2 has a first inlet 21 and a first outlet 22, and the first outlet 22 can discharge air to the room. The first air duct member 2 is equivalent to the indoor air duct member of the traditional air conditioner, which is used to blow the heat-exchanged air to the room, thereby adjusting the kitchen temperature and improving the kitchen comfort. The air inlet position of the first inlet 21 of the first air duct member 2 is not limited, and the air can be taken in from the room or from the outside. When the first inlet 21 of the first air duct member 2 takes in air from the room, the air inlet position is not limited, for example, it can be sucked from the kitchen, so that the kitchen air is sucked in for temperature adjustment. The first inlet 21 of the first air duct member 2 can also take in air from other indoor spaces, such as the living room. When the first inlet 21 of the first air duct member 2 takes in air from the outside, it is equivalent to introducing fresh air into the kitchen, and the first inlet 21 is connected to the fresh air inlet. Optionally, a filtering device is set on the fresh air introduction path to improve the cleanliness of the fresh air and reduce the entry of debris from the outdoor environment into the kitchen air conditioner 100.

[0052] Combination Figure 3 , the second air duct member 3 can be arranged in the second shell 11. The second air duct member 3 has a second inlet 31 and a second outlet 32, and the second outlet 32 ​​can discharge air to the outside. The second air duct member 3 is equivalent to the outdoor air duct member of the traditional air conditioner, which is used to blow the air after heat exchange to the outside, so as to discharge the unnecessary cold or heat in the room. The air inlet position of the second inlet 31 of the second air duct member 3 is not limited, and the air can be taken in from the room or from the outside. When the second inlet 31 of the second air duct member 3 takes in air from the room, the air inlet position is not limited, for example, it can be sucked from the kitchen, so that the kitchen air is sucked in and discharged to the outside through the second outlet 32. The second inlet 31 of the second air duct member 3 can also take in air from other indoor spaces, such as the bathroom. When the second inlet 31 of the second air duct member 3 takes in air from the outside, optionally, a filtering device is set on the external air flow introduction path to improve the cleanliness and reduce the entry of debris from the outdoor environment into the kitchen air conditioner 100.

[0053] Combination Figure 3 and Figure 4 The first heat exchanger 4 is disposed in the first shell 10 and can exchange heat with the air in the first air duct 2. The second heat exchanger 5 can be disposed in the second shell 11 and can exchange heat with the air in the second air duct 3.

[0054] In the present application, the kitchen air conditioner 100 generally has a cooling function, that is, the first heat exchanger 4 is used to release cold air to the first air duct member 2 to cool the air in the first air duct member 2. The first air duct member 2 blows cold air to the kitchen through the first outlet 22 to reduce the temperature of the kitchen. At this time, the second heat exchanger 5 is used to release heat to the second air duct member 3, the air in the second air duct member 3 is heated, and the high-temperature air is discharged to the outside through the second outlet 32.

[0055] Of course, the present application does not exclude that in some solutions, the kitchen air conditioner 100 has both cooling and heating functions. When the kitchen air conditioner 100 has the heating function, the above heat exchange direction is reversed, which will not be described in detail here.

[0056] Combination Figure 3 , the compressor 6 can be arranged in the first shell 10, or the compressor 6 can be arranged in the second shell 11. The compressor 6 is connected to the first heat exchanger 4 and the second heat exchanger 5 through the refrigerant pipe 61, so that the compressor 6, the first heat exchanger 4, the second heat exchanger 5 and the refrigerant pipe 61 can form a refrigerant circulation system. Since the first heat exchanger 4 and the second heat exchanger 5 are disposed in two shells, no matter whether the compressor 6 is disposed in the first shell 10 or the second shell 11, part of the refrigerant pipe 61 needs to be passed through the connecting shell 12. The working principle of the refrigerant circulation system here is already the prior art well known to ordinary technicians in this field, so it will not be repeated here.

[0057] Of course, the refrigerant circulation system of the present application also includes other parts, and the refrigerant circulation system includes a throttling device (not shown). By setting a throttling device, the refrigerant can be throttled and depressurized to improve the subsequent heat absorption and evaporation efficiency in the heat exchanger. In some embodiments, the kitchen air conditioner 100 is a single cold air conditioner, the first heat exchanger 4 is called an evaporator, and the second heat exchanger 5 is called a condenser. In some other embodiments, the kitchen air conditioner 100 is a cold and warm air conditioner, and the refrigerant circulation system also includes a reversing valve. By setting a reversing valve, the refrigerant flow direction can be changed, thereby switching the mode of the kitchen air conditioner 100.

[0058] Combination Figure 4 and Figure 5 In some specific embodiments, the top of the housing 1 is high on both sides and low in the middle, while the bottom of the housing 1 is flat, so that the overall profile of the housing 1 is in a "concave" shape on a plane perpendicular to the second direction D2. In some other specific embodiments, the top of the housing 1 is high on both sides and low in the middle, while the bottom of the housing 1 is not flat, for example, the top of the housing 1 is high on both sides and low in the middle.

[0059] The housing 1 can accommodate the first air duct member 2, the second air duct member 3, the first heat exchanger 4, the second heat exchanger 5 and the compressor 6. The housing 1 is used to integrate and protect the internal electrical components. The top of the housing 1 is recessed in the middle to form an avoidance groove 13. The first air duct member 2, the second air duct member 3, the first heat exchanger 4, the second heat exchanger 5 and the compressor 6 are in the housing 1 and can be placed on both sides of the avoidance groove 13. The housing 1 is divided into three parts, namely the first shell 10, the second shell 11 and the connecting shell 12. The connecting shell 12 in the middle connects the first shell 10 and the second shell 11 into a whole.

[0060] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 2 The shell 1 is arranged in this way to form an avoidance groove 13, which can avoid the keel 1100 of the ceiling 1000, so that the first shell 10 and the second shell 11 can be arranged on both sides of the keel 1100. In this way, at least the top of the first shell 10 and at least the top of the second shell 11 can be placed above the keel 1100, and the connecting shell 12 is left below the keel 1100. In some solutions, the first shell 10 and the second shell 11 can be placed above the keel 1100 as a whole, leaving the connecting shell 12 below the keel 1100.

[0061] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the ceiling 1000 includes a keel 1100 as a supporting structure and a splicing decorative panel 1200 installed on the keel 1100. The splicing decorative panel 1200 is composed of multiple pieces, and the multiple splicing decorative panels 1200 are connected to the keel 1100. The multiple splicing decorative panels 1200 are spliced ​​together to form a whole panel, so that the ceiling 1000 visually forms a new roof in the kitchen. Figure 2 and Fig.11 As shown, there are multiple keels 1100, and at least part of the keels 1100 are extended along the second direction D2, and the part of the keels 1100 are arranged at intervals along the first direction D1. In some schemes, there are also part of the keels 1100 extending along the first direction D1, and the part of the keels 1100 are arranged at intervals along the second direction D2, so that the multiple keels 1100 are in a grid shape, thereby providing sufficient installation positions for multiple spliced ​​decorative panels 1200. The shape of the spliced ​​decorative panels 1200 is not limited, and can be square or hexahedral, etc. As for the way the ceiling 1000 is fixed to the wall 2000, there is no limitation here. In some schemes, the end of the keel 1100 is fixed to the wall 2000, and in other schemes, as Fig.11 As shown, the roof is provided with a hanging structure 3000, and the keel 1100 is fixed on the hanging structure 3000, so that the entire ceiling 1000 is hung. The hanging structure 3000 is not limited here. Fig.11 The middle hoisting structure 3000 includes a plurality of hoisting rods, and the plurality of hoisting rods are arranged at intervals.

[0062] According to the existing technical solution, when installing the integrated kitchen air conditioner, it is necessary to install the body first and then install the ceiling. Or install part of the keel on the ceiling first, then hoist the body, and install the remaining keel and spliced ​​decorative panels in between. When the kitchen air conditioner needs to be cleaned or maintained, at least part of the spliced ​​decorative panels need to be removed. If the machine needs to be disassembled for maintenance, the keel on the ceiling also needs to be removed. This makes the cleaning and maintenance of the kitchen air conditioner very time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the operation is cumbersome.

[0063] The solution of the present application can solve the above problem, that is, by forming an avoidance groove 13 in the middle position of the top of the shell 1, the avoidance groove 13 can avoid the keel 1100 of the ceiling 1000. For example, during installation, the first shell 10 and the second shell 11 are inserted on both sides of the keel 1100, and then the shell 1 is lifted so that the top surface of the connecting shell 12 is close to or even against the keel 1100, so that the top of the first shell 10 and the second shell 11 is higher than the keel 1100, so that at least the top of the first shell 10 and at least the top of the second shell 11 can be hidden above the ceiling 1000. In this way, after the ceiling 1000 is installed, the ceiling 1000 is visually equivalent to the new roof of the kitchen, and the host of the kitchen air conditioner 100 is visually left with only a relatively flat layer placed below the ceiling 1000.

[0064] Even when the first shell 10 and the second shell 11 are completely hidden above the ceiling 1000, and then the splicing decorative panel 1200 is spliced ​​under the first shell 10 and the second shell 11, only a small piece of the connecting shell 12 is placed under the ceiling 1000, most of the kitchen air conditioner 100 can be hidden.

[0065] In this way, the kitchen air conditioner 100 avoids interference from the keel 1100 by using the avoidance groove 13 during installation, and is not interfered with by the keel 1100 when the kitchen air conditioner 1000 needs to be cleaned. If the housing 1 of the kitchen air conditioner 1000 needs to be disassembled, it can be disassembled and assembled without disassembling or only by disassembling a few splicing decorative panels 1200. Compared with the prior art solutions, the kitchen air conditioner 100 of the embodiment of the present invention reduces the maintenance steps and time, and improves the maintenance efficiency.

[0066] In some embodiments, Figure 5 As shown, the kitchen air conditioner 100 further includes a first fan 23 and a second fan 33. Specifically, the first fan 23 is connected to the first air duct member 2, and the first fan 23 is used to drive the airflow in the first air duct member 2. Optionally, the first fan 23 is at least partially disposed in the first air duct member 2, and the relative position of the first fan 23 and the first air duct member 2 is not limited, for example, the first fan 23 can be located upstream, inside, or downstream of the first air duct member 2.

[0067] The second fan 33 is connected to the second air duct member 3, and the second fan 33 is used to drive the airflow in the second air duct member 3. Optionally, the second fan 33 is at least partially arranged in the second air duct member 3, and the relative position of the second fan 33 and the second air duct member 3 is not limited, for example, the second fan 33 can be located upstream, inside, or downstream of the second air duct member 3.

[0068] In some specific embodiments, Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the first air duct member 2 forms a volute, and the first air duct member 2 serves as a volute of the first fan 23, and the impeller of the first fan 23 is installed in the volute. Optionally, the first fan 23 is a centrifugal fan, and the first inlet 21 of the first air duct member 2 is located on one axial side or both axial sides of the centrifugal fan. Further, the first inlet 21 of the first air duct member 2 is arranged toward the inside of the first shell 10, so that when the first fan 23 is running, air is sucked in from the first shell 10, and then enters the first air duct member 2 and blown out.

[0069] Specifically, the position of the first heat exchanger 4 in the first shell 10 is not limited. For example, the first heat exchanger 4 can be located outside the first air duct member 2, can be connected to the wall of the first air duct member 2, or can be installed in the first air duct member 2.

[0070] Furthermore, the first heat exchanger 4 is installed outside the first air duct member 2, and its position in the first shell 10 is not limited, and can be located at the top, the side, or even the bottom. When the first fan 23 is running, it sucks air from the inside of the first shell 10 and drives the air to flow through the first heat exchanger 4, thereby exchanging heat with the first heat exchanger 4.

[0071] Specifically, the first shell 10 is provided with a first air inlet 16 directly facing the first heat exchanger 4, so that the inhaled airflow can all flow through the first heat exchanger 4, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency. Figure 3 As shown, when the first heat exchanger 4 is installed on one side of the first shell 10, the first air inlet 16 is located on the side wall of the first shell 10. Optionally, to improve the thermal isolation between the two shells, the first heat exchanger 4 is installed on the side of the first shell 10 away from the second shell 11, and the first air inlet 16 is located on this side.

[0072] Of course, the present application does not exclude other solutions, such as setting the first air inlet 16 at the bottom of the first shell 10, and using the air guide structure to guide the incoming airflow to the first heat exchanger 4 after the air enters.

[0073] Optionally, a grille may be provided at the first air inlet 16 to improve the internal protection of the kitchen air conditioner 100. Further optionally, an air duct 53 may be provided, one end of which is connected to the first air inlet 16, and the other end of which is led to a suitable position, for example, a through-wall hole 2100 is dug in the wall 2000, and the other end of the air duct 53 is connected to the through-wall hole 2100.

[0074] In some specific embodiments, Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the second air duct member 3 forms a volute, and the second air duct member 3 serves as a volute of the second fan 33, and the impeller of the second fan 33 is installed in the volute. Optionally, the second fan 33 is a centrifugal fan, and the second inlet 31 of the second air duct member 3 is located on one axial side or both axial sides of the centrifugal fan. Further, the second inlet 31 of the second air duct member 3 is arranged toward the inside of the second shell 11, so that when the second fan 33 is running, air is sucked in from the second shell 11, and then enters the second air duct member 3 and blown out.

[0075] Specifically, the position of the second heat exchanger 5 in the second shell 11 is not limited. For example, the second heat exchanger 5 can be located outside the second air duct member 3, can be connected to the wall of the second air duct member 3, or can be installed in the second air duct member 3.

[0076] Furthermore, the second heat exchanger 5 is installed outside the second air duct member 3, and its position in the second shell 11 is not limited, and can be located at the top, the side, or even the bottom. When the second fan 33 is running, it sucks air from the inside of the second shell 11 and drives the air to flow through the second heat exchanger 5, thereby exchanging heat with the second heat exchanger 5.

[0077] Specifically, the second shell 11 is provided with a second air inlet 17 directly facing the second heat exchanger 5, so that the inhaled airflow can all flow through the second heat exchanger 5, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency. Figure 3 As shown, when the second heat exchanger 5 is installed on one side of the second shell 11, the second air inlet 17 is located on the side wall of the second shell 11. Optionally, to improve the thermal isolation between the two shells, the second heat exchanger 5 is installed on the side of the second shell 11 away from the second shell 11, and the second air inlet 17 is located on this side.

[0078] Of course, the present application does not exclude other solutions, such as setting the second air inlet 17 at the bottom of the second shell 11, and using the air guide structure to guide the incoming airflow to the second heat exchanger 5 after the air enters.

[0079] Optionally, a grille may be provided at the second air inlet 17 to improve the internal protection of the kitchen air conditioner 100. Further optionally, as Fig.10As shown, an air duct 53 can be provided, one end of which is connected to the second air inlet 17, and the other end of the air duct 53 is led to a suitable position, for example, a wall hole 2100 is dug on the wall 2000, and the other end of the air duct 53 is connected to the wall hole 2100.

[0080] In some embodiments, the first outlet 22 of the first air duct member 2 may be located at the side or bottom of the housing 1. In some specific embodiments, the first outlet 22 of the first air duct member 2 is located at the side of the housing 1, and the airflow drawn out by the first air duct member 2 may be directly released above the ceiling 1000, and discharged downward through a certain outlet opening on the ceiling 1000.

[0081] In some optional embodiments, such as Fig.10 As shown, the kitchen air conditioner 100 further includes a first exhaust duct 51, which can be installed above the ceiling 1000. One end of the first exhaust duct 51 is connected to the first outlet 22, and the other end of the first exhaust duct 51 is suitable for being arranged toward a suitable position indoors. For example, the splicing decorative plate 1200 is removed from some parts of the ceiling 1000 for exhausting air from the first exhaust duct 51.

[0082] Furthermore, the kitchen air conditioner 100 also includes an air guide device 54 installed at the end of the first exhaust duct 51, which is used to adjust the air outlet direction and air outlet range.

[0083] Further optionally, one end of the first exhaust pipe 51 is detachably connected to the first outlet 22 , which can facilitate the disassembly and assembly of the shell 1 .

[0084] In some embodiments, the second outlet 32 ​​of the second air duct member 3 may be located at the side or bottom of the housing 1. In some specific embodiments, the second outlet 32 ​​of the second air duct member 3 is located at the side of the housing 1 to facilitate the discharge of airflow.

[0085] In some optional embodiments, such as Fig.10 As shown, the kitchen air conditioner 100 further includes a second exhaust duct 52, which can be installed above the ceiling 1000. One end of the second exhaust duct 52 is connected to the second outlet 32, and the other end of the second exhaust duct 52 is connected to the outdoors.

[0086] Optionally, one end of the second exhaust pipe 52 is detachably connected to the second outlet 32 ​​, which makes it easy to disassemble and assemble the housing 1 .

[0087] Furthermore, as shown in FIG9 , a wall hole 2100 may be provided on the wall 2000 , so that the second exhaust duct 52 is connected to the wall hole 2100 to discharge the heat-exchanged air outdoors.

[0088] By providing the first exhaust duct 51 and the second exhaust duct 52, the air outlet paths of the first air duct member 2 and the second air duct member 3 can be extended to guide the air outlet of the kitchen air conditioner 100, thereby facilitating the layout of the kitchen air conditioner 100.

[0089] like Figure 3 and Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the first outlet 22 is disposed on the side of the first shell 10, the second outlet 32 ​​is disposed on the side of the second shell 11, and the first outlet 22 and the second outlet 32 ​​are both higher than the reference plane f1 to be placed above the ceiling 1000. By disposing the first outlet 22 and the second outlet 32 ​​on the side of the housing 1, the first outlet 22 and the second outlet 32 ​​can be shielded by the ceiling 1000.

[0090] Specifically, the first outlet 22 is connected to the first exhaust duct 51 , and the first outlet 22 is higher than the reference plane f1 , so that the first exhaust duct 51 can be conveniently shielded by the ceiling 1000 .

[0091] Specifically, the second outlet 32 ​​is connected to the second exhaust duct 52 , and the second outlet 32 ​​is higher than the reference plane f1 , so that the second exhaust duct 52 can be conveniently shielded by the ceiling 1000 .

[0092] like Figure 3 and Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the first outlet 22 and the second outlet 32 ​​are located on opposite sides of the housing 1. By staggering the first outlet 22 and the second outlet 32 ​​on the housing 1, mutual interference can be avoided, thereby ensuring the working reliability and heat exchange efficiency of the kitchen air conditioner 100.

[0093] Specifically, in the first direction D1 , the first outlet 22 is disposed on the side of the first shell 10 , and the second outlet 32 ​​is disposed on the side of the second shell 11 ; in the second direction D2 , the air outflow direction of the first outlet 22 is away from the air outflow direction of the second outlet 32 ​​.

[0094] In some embodiments, Figure 3 As shown, the kitchen air conditioner 100 further includes a water collecting tank 14. The water collecting tank 14 is inside the first shell 10, and the water collecting tank 14 is located below the first heat exchanger 4.

[0095] Since the kitchen air conditioner 100 is usually operated in cooling mode, the first heat exchanger 4 releases cold energy to the outside when the refrigerant circulation system is in operation. When the first heat exchanger 4 exchanges heat with the air in the first shell 10, the temperature of the air flowing through it is greatly reduced. Since the air contains water vapor components, after the temperature is reduced, the saturation of water vapor in the air is reduced, and the water vapor in the air condenses when flowing through the first heat exchanger 4. Most of the condensed water adheres to the surface of the first heat exchanger 4 and flows downward, thereby gathering in the water collection tank 14 below the first heat exchanger 4. The water collection tank 14 is provided to facilitate the centralized treatment of condensed water and avoid the possibility of dripping from the ceiling 1000 due to turbulent condensed water.

[0096] The condensed water can be treated by using a conduit to lead it out, for example, the conduit is connected through the wall hole 2100 and leads to the outside, or the conduit is connected to the kitchen sink, etc.

[0097] Specifically, Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, a water diversion channel 15 is provided in the connecting shell 12, the inlet of the water diversion channel 15 is connected to the water collecting tank 14, and the outlet of the water diversion channel 15 is located in the second shell 11. That is to say, the collected condensed water is introduced into the second shell 11 for processing, so that the heating characteristics of the second heat exchanger 5 are utilized to make the condensed water evaporate or be discharged along the second air duct member 3, etc., so that no additional pipeline is required, reducing the probability of condensed water leakage.

[0098] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the connecting shell 12 can accommodate the refrigerant pipe 61 and the water guide channel 15, thereby the pipeline routing and the flow of condensed water can be realized in the connecting shell 12.

[0099] like Figure 4 As shown, in some specific embodiments, the kitchen air conditioner 100 further includes a water pumping assembly 7, which is disposed in the second shell 11. The water pumping assembly 7 includes a water pumping tank 71, a water pumping member 72, and a water pumping driving member 73. The outlet of the water diversion channel 15 is connected to the water pumping tank 71, and the water diversion channel 15 can transport condensed water to the water pumping tank 71. The water pumping member 72 is movable, and the water pumping member 72 can throw the water in the water pumping tank 71 toward the second heat exchanger 5. The water pumping driving member 73 is connected to the water pumping member 72, and the water pumping driving member 73 can drive the water pumping member 72 to move. By providing the water pumping assembly 7, the water in the water pumping tank 71 can be thrown onto the second heat exchanger 5. In this way, on the one hand, the water is evaporated by the heat on the second heat exchanger 5, solving the problem that the kitchen air conditioner 100 needs additional drainage; on the other hand, the water evaporates and absorbs heat, which can take away more heat from the second heat exchanger 5, increase the heat exchange capacity of the second heat exchanger 5, and reduce the energy consumption of the kitchen air conditioner 100.

[0100] The water pumping assembly 7 is used to pump water so that more condensed water is pumped onto the surface of the second heat exchanger 5 . The condensed water has a larger contact area on the surface of the second heat exchanger 5 , and absorbs more heat.

[0101] In the present application, the water tank 71 is placed below the second heat exchanger 5, and even a part of the second heat exchanger 5 can be placed in the water tank 71. Optionally, there are two water tanks 71, and a second heat exchanger 5 is arranged above each water tank 71.

[0102] Specifically, the water pumping member 72 may be a water pumping swing rod that moves in a swinging manner. The water pumping member 72 may be a water pumping wheel that moves in a rotating manner.

[0103] Furthermore, the water pumping drive member 73 includes a drive motor 731 and a reducer 732, and the drive motor 731 is connected to the water pumping member 72 via the reducer 732. Of course, the present application is not limited thereto, for example, the drive motor 731 may also include a linear motor, a solenoid valve, etc., as long as it can drive the water pumping member 72 to move after being powered on.

[0110] Specifically, the first inlet 21 is located at the bottom of the housing 1, and the grille plate 81 can be arranged at the first inlet 21 to reduce the intrusion of dust and impurities. The enclosure 82 is installed on the housing 1 and fixed by fasteners to improve the stability and reliability of the connection. When repairing the internal electrical components of the kitchen air conditioner 100, the fasteners between the enclosure 82 and the housing 1 are removed, and the bottom cover 8 is removed to expose the internal electrical components, thereby the splicing decorative panel 1200 of the ceiling 1000 does not need to be removed, thereby improving the repair efficiency.
