Usually, the radar module is installed on the air conditioner panel.

[0056] Background

[0057] In modern air-conditioning technology, wall-mounted air-conditioning indoor units are widely used in homes and commercial places due to their advantages of convenient installation and space saving. In order to improve the user experience and the intelligence level of air-conditioning, many air-conditioning indoor units are equipped with radar modules to detect the activities of people indoors, thereby realizing functions such as automatic adjustment of wind speed and direction and unmanned energy saving.

[0058] However, there are some problems with the installation method of the radar module of the wall-mounted air conditioner indoor unit in the prior art. Usually, the radar module is installed on the air conditioner panel. Although this installation position is convenient for installation and maintenance, there is a large detection blind spot, especially in the bottom area of ​​the air conditioner. Since the detection range of the radar module is limited, it is impossible to accurately detect the activities of people directly below and near the bottom of the air conditioner, resulting in the air conditioner being unable to respond to the presence of people in a timely manner in some cases, affecting the intelligent control effect of the air conditioner and the realization of the energy-saving function.

[0059] In addition, the installation structure of the radar module in the prior art is relatively complex, requiring multiple fixing parts and complicated assembly steps, which not only increases the production cost but also reduces the assembly efficiency. At the same time, since the radar module is not tightly matched with the overall structure of the air conditioner, it may become loose or shifted during use, further affecting the detection accuracy and stability of the radar module.

[0060] Based on this, Figure 1-Figure 9 As shown, a first aspect of an embodiment of the present application provides a wall-mounted air conditioner indoor unit, the indoor unit comprising a casing, and a rat-proof plate structure 20 is provided on the casing;

[0061] The indoor unit further includes a radar module 30 , which is detachably disposed on the rat-proof plate structure 20 .

[0062] In the embodiment of the present application, the radar module 30 is detachably mounted on the existing rat-proof plate structure 20 of the air-conditioning indoor unit, and there is no need to separately set up a structure that cooperates with the radar module 30, so that the radar module is more convenient to install. At the same time, the rat-proof plates of the existing air-conditioning indoor units are located on one side of the air outlet of the air-conditioning indoor unit. In this way, when the radar module 30 is mounted on the rat-proof plate structure 20, the radar module 30 can have a larger detection range.

[0063] Further, in some possible implementations, the rat-proof plate structure 20 is arranged to extend forward and tilt from bottom to top, and the radar module 30 is detachably mounted on the rat-proof plate structure 20 arranged to extend forward and tilt;

[0064] The installation angle of the radar module 30 is adapted to the inclination angle of the mouse-proof plate structure 20, and the radar module 30 is supported and limited on the mouse-proof plate structure 20 so that the emission center line of the radar module 30 can extend downward at an inclination, such as Figure 3 shown.

[0065] Furthermore, in some possible implementations,

[0066] The above-mentioned housing includes an air conditioner bottom case 10, the front side of the air conditioner bottom case 10 is formed with an air outlet extending along the length direction of the air conditioner bottom case 10, and the air conditioner bottom case 10 is formed with a rat-proof plate structure 20 for avoiding the air outlet on at least one side in the length direction of the air outlet, and the rat-proof plate structure 20 includes a first mating surface 201 extending from top to bottom and tilted forward;

[0067] The radar module 30 includes a radar box 30a having a second mating surface 301, and a radar transmitting plate 30b disposed in the radar box 30a and having a transmitting center line perpendicular to the second mating surface 301. The second mating surface 301 of the radar box 30a is at least partially mated with the first mating surface 201 of the rat-proof plate structure 20, so that the radar module 30 can be installed on the rat-proof plate structure 20 in a forward tilted manner, such as Figure 3 shown.

[0068] It should be noted that if Figure 3 As shown, the above-mentioned transmitting center line is perpendicular to the radar transmitting plate 30b of the second mating surface 301, which does not require to be completely vertical, as long as it is approximately vertical. The specific angle deviation range within ±15° can be understood as the approximately vertical mentioned in the embodiment of the present application.

[0069] It is worth noting that in the prior art, the radar module is usually installed on the air conditioner panel, resulting in a large area of ​​blind detection in the bottom area of ​​the air conditioner, and it is impossible to accurately detect the activities of people near the bottom of the air conditioner. In the embodiment of the present application, the radar module 30 is installed on the side of the air outlet of the air conditioner bottom shell 10, and the first mating surface 201 of the mouse-proof plate structure 20 is matched with the second mating surface 301 of the radar box 30a, so that the radar module 30 can be installed in a forward tilted manner as shown in the attached figure. Figure 2 As shown, the detection range of the radar is expanded, the bottom area of ​​the air conditioner is effectively covered, and the detection blind area problem existing in the prior art is solved.

[0070] Specifically, the radar module 30 is matched with the first matching surface 201 of the mouse-proof plate structure 20 through the second matching surface 301 of the radar box 30a, and only one screw is needed to fix it. Figure 5 As shown, the installation operation is greatly simplified, the assembly efficiency is improved, and the production cost is reduced.

[0071] More specifically, the coordinated design of the radar module 30 and the rat-proof plate structure 20 enables the radar module 30 to be securely mounted on the air conditioner bottom casing 10, thereby improving the installation stability of the radar module and thus ensuring the detection accuracy and reliability of the radar module.

[0072] More specifically, by integrating the radar module 30 on one side of the air outlet of the air conditioner bottom shell 10 and installing it using the rat-proof plate structure 20, not only the installation position of the radar module is optimized, but also the overall integration of the radar module and the air conditioner is improved, making the appearance of the air conditioner more simple and beautiful.

[0073] That is, by solving the problem of blind area detection of the radar module and optimizing the installation structure in the embodiment of the present application, the radar module 30 can detect the activities of people in the room more accurately, providing more reliable technical support for realizing intelligent control of the air conditioner. For example, the radar module can more accurately detect that no one is in the room and start the energy-saving function such as the attached Figure 1 and attached Figure 3 As shown, the intelligent control level and energy-saving effect of the air conditioner are improved.

[0074] It is worth noting that the above-mentioned rat-proof plate structure 20 and radar module 30 are preferably installed on the right side of the air outlet of the air-conditioning indoor unit, while the fresh air module is installed on the left side of the air-conditioning indoor unit.

[0075] It is worth mentioning that in order to facilitate the production of the air conditioner bottom shell 10 and the rat-proof board structure 20, the above-mentioned air conditioner bottom shell 10 and rat-proof board structure 20 are preferably integrally formed. On this basis, in order to facilitate the demolding of the integrally formed air conditioner bottom shell and rat-proof board structure during production, the heat-proof board structure is arranged to be inclined in the embodiment of the present application. This facilitates the demolding of the air conditioner bottom shell and the rat-proof board structure on the one hand, and on the other hand, by detachably mounting the radar module on the rat-proof board structure, the installed radar module can be directly installed on the air conditioner bottom shell 10 with the rat-proof board structure 20 in a forward-tilted manner, thereby eliminating the need to separately set up other structures to adjust the inclination angle of the radar module 30 so that the radar module 30 has a larger detection range.

[0076] Further, in some possible implementations, an angle a of 0°-60° is formed between the second mating surface 301 of the radar module 30 obliquely installed at the rat-proof plate structure 20 and the vertical direction.

[0077] Specifically, in the embodiment of the present application, the radar module 30 is installed at an angle at the rat-proof plate structure 20, and an angle a of 0°-60° is formed between the radar module 30 and the vertical direction, {i.e., an angle of 0°-60° is formed between the radar module 30 and the wall where the wall-mounted unit is installed}, so that the detection range of the radar module can be significantly optimized. This tilt angle design enables the radar module to better cover the bottom area of ​​the air conditioner, reduce the detection blind area, and thus more accurately detect the activities of people near the bottom of the air conditioner.

[0078] It is worth noting that, as shown in the attached Figure 1 and attached Figure 3As shown, when the second mating surface 301 of the radar module forms an angle of 0°-60° with the wall, the detection range of the radar module 30 is ±60 degrees on both sides of the radar module emission centerline in the left and right directions, and ±45 degrees on both sides of the radar module emission centerline in the up and down directions. This angle is the design angle with the largest area covered in the room after multiple verifications with the radar module supplier, and can also effectively solve the problem of a large blind spot under the air conditioner.

[0079] Preferably, when the angle a between the radar module 30 and the vertical direction is 30°, the detection range is the widest and the detection effect is the best.

[0080] Further, in some possible implementations, such as Figure 5 , Figure 7 and Fig. 9 As shown, the first mating surface 201 of the rat-proof plate structure 20 includes a first plane 2011 and a plurality of first raised surfaces 2012 protruding from the first plane 2011, and the second mating surface 301 of the radar box 30a is mated with the plurality of first raised surfaces 2012;

[0081] The protrusion heights of the plurality of first protrusions 2012 are designed such that when the radar module 30 is matched with the first protrusions 2012 of the rat-proof plate structure 20 via the second matching surface 301, an angle a of 0°-60° can be formed between the second matching surface 301 of the radar module 30 and the vertical direction.

[0082] Specifically, by adjusting the protruding height of one or more first protruding surfaces 2012 on the rat-proof plate structure 20 , the tilt angle of the radar module 30 after installation can be adjusted.

[0083] For example, if Figure 3 As shown, the height of the first raised surface 2012 located at the top among the multiple first raised surfaces 2012 can be set to be larger, while the height of the first raised surface 2012 located at the bottom can be set to be smaller, and the tilt angle of the radar module 30 can be adjusted by the height difference of the different first raised surfaces 2012.

[0084] That is, in the embodiment of the present application, a plurality of first raised surfaces 2012 are designed on the first mating surface 201 of the rat-proof plate structure 20, and the second mating surface 301 of the radar box 30a is matched with these first raised surfaces 2012, and the installation tilt angle of the radar module 30 can be accurately controlled by designing the raised height of the first raised surface 2012. This design ensures that the radar module 30 can automatically form the required tilt angle during installation without the need for additional adjustment steps, thereby improving the accuracy and consistency of installation.

[0085] More specifically, in the embodiment of the present application, multiple first raised surfaces 2012 cooperate with the second mating surface 301 of the radar box 30a to form multiple support points, thereby enhancing the installation stability of the radar module 30. This multi-point support structure can effectively prevent the radar module from loosening or position shifting during use, thereby ensuring the detection accuracy and long-term reliability of the radar module.

[0086] More specifically, by designing a plurality of first raised surfaces 2012, the radar module 30 can be pre-positioned when the radar module 30 is installed, so that the radar module 30 can be quickly and accurately installed on the rat-proof plate structure 20, and in some possible implementations, only one screw is needed to fix the radar module 30. This design simplifies the installation process, reduces assembly steps, improves assembly efficiency, and reduces production costs.

[0087] More specifically, by designing the first raised surface 2012 on the first mating surface 201 of the mouse-proof plate structure 20, not only the accurate tilted installation of the radar module 30 is achieved, but also the overall structural design of the radar module and the air conditioner is optimized. This design makes the integration of the radar module 30 and the bottom shell 10 of the air conditioner more natural, and improves the overall appearance design of the air conditioner.

[0088] It should be noted that in the embodiment of the present application, by precisely controlling the tilt angle of the radar module 30, the transmission center line of the radar transmitting plate 30b in the radar module 30 can better cover the bottom area of ​​the air conditioner, reducing the detection blind area of ​​the radar module 30. This design improves the detection accuracy and coverage of the radar module, ensures that the air conditioner can respond more accurately to the activities of people, and realizes a more intelligent control function.

[0089] Specifically,

[0090] Attached Figure 1 , Attachment Figure 2 and attached Figure 5 The installation position of the radar module 30 on the bottom casing 10 of the air conditioner and the method of fixing it with screws are shown.

[0091] Attached Figure 3 The matching relationship between the radar module 30 and the rat-proof plate structure 20 is shown. The second matching surface 301 of the radar box 30a matches with the multiple first protruding surfaces 2012 to form a required tilt angle a.

[0092] Attached Figure 3 The detection range of the radar module 30 is shown. The emission centerline of the radar transmitting plate 30b is perpendicular to the second mating surface 301. Through the design of the first raised surface 2012, the radar module can better cover the bottom area of ​​the air conditioner.

[0093] Attached Figure 1The detection range of the radar module 30 is further demonstrated. The tilt angle of the radar module 30 optimizes the detection range, ensuring that the radar detection range is ±60 degrees on both sides of the center line of the radar module in the left and right directions and ±45 degrees on both sides of the center line of the radar module in the up and down directions, thereby achieving more comprehensive coverage.

[0094] Further, in some possible implementations, such as Figure 8 and Fig. 9 As shown, the first convex surface 2012 includes a first convex surface A20121 and a first convex surface B20122 having different convex heights;

[0095] The first convex surface A20121 and the first convex surface B20122 with different convex heights can support the radar box 30a in different directions.

[0096] Specifically, in the embodiment of the present application, by designing the first raised surface A20121 and the first raised surface B20122 with different raised heights, the radar box 30a can be supported in different directions. This multi-directional support structure can more evenly disperse the weight of the radar module 30, reduce local stress concentration, and further improve the installation stability of the radar module, prevent the radar module from loosening or position shifting during use, and can also avoid the second mating surface 301 of the radar module 30 from directly contacting the first plane 2011 of the mouse-proof plate structure 20 due to thermal expansion and contraction of the air conditioner, thereby effectively reducing the noise problem caused by direct contact.

[0097] More specifically, the embodiment of the present application summarizes that the tilt angle of the radar module 30 can be adjusted more accurately by using the first raised surface A20121 and the first raised surface B20122 with different raised heights, ensuring that the angle a between the radar module and the vertical direction can be 0°-60°. This design not only improves the installation accuracy of the radar module, but also ensures the consistency of the detection range and accuracy of the radar module.

[0098] More specifically, by designing the first raised surface A20121 and the first raised surface B20122 with different raised heights, it is also possible to better accommodate manufacturing errors and assembly errors, thereby improving the adaptability and flexibility of the installation of the radar module 30. This design enables the radar module to maintain a stable installation state under different conditions, thereby improving the overall quality of the product.

[0099] More specifically, in the embodiment of the present application, the radar box 30a is supported in different positions by the first raised surface A20121 and the first raised surface B20122 with different raised heights, so as to ensure that the radar module 30 maintains a stable and accurate tilt angle after installation. This design optimizes the detection performance of the radar module, enables it to more accurately cover the bottom area of ​​the air conditioner, reduce the detection blind area, and improve the detection accuracy.

[0100] For example, Figure 3 As shown, the first raised surface A20121 is used to support the side of the radar module 30, and the first raised surface B20122 is used to support the bottom of the radar module 30.

[0101] That is, in the embodiment of the present application, by optimizing the matching design of the rat-proof plate structure 20 and the radar box 30a, not only the installation stability of the radar module 30 is improved, but also the reliability of the overall design is improved. This design enables the air conditioner to maintain stable performance during long-term use, reduces the performance degradation caused by looseness or position displacement of the radar module, and thus improves the user experience.

[0102] Further, in some possible implementations, such as Figure 8 and Fig. 9 As shown, the first convex surface A20121 and the first convex surface B20122 are distributed vertically on the first plane 2011 of the rat-proof plate structure 20, and the convex height of the first convex surface A20121 is smaller than the convex height of the first convex surface B20122;

[0103] The radar box 30a further includes a lower mating surface 302 connected with the second mating surface 301;

[0104] The second mating surface 301 of the radar module 30 is mated with the first raised surface A20121 of the rat-proof plate structure 20 front to back, and the lower mating surface 302 of the radar module 30 is mated with the first raised surface B20122 of the rat-proof plate structure 20 top to bottom.

[0105] Specifically, in the embodiment of the present application, by distributing the first raised surface A20121 and the first raised surface B20122 up and down on the first plane 2011 of the mouse-proof plate structure 20, and making the raised height of the first raised surface A20121 smaller than the raised height of the first raised surface B20122, the radar module 30 can be stably supported in the front-back and up-down directions. This multi-dimensional support structure can more evenly disperse the weight of the radar module, reduce local stress concentration, and further improve the installation stability of the radar module.

[0106] More specifically, the tilt angle and position of the radar module can be precisely controlled by the front-to-back cooperation of the second mating surface 301 of the radar module 30 and the first raised surface A20121, and the top-to-bottom cooperation of the lower mating surface 302 of the radar module 30 and the first raised surface B20122. This design ensures that the radar module can maintain a stable tilt angle of 0°-60° after installation, and can maintain a precise position in the front-to-back and top-to-bottom directions, thereby optimizing the detection range and accuracy of the radar module.

[0107] More specifically, the design of the first raised surface A20121 and the first raised surface B20122 distributed up and down, and the lower mating surface 302 of the radar box 30a can better adapt to manufacturing errors and assembly errors. This design allows the radar module to maintain a stable installation state under different conditions, thereby improving the overall quality of the product.

[0108] Further, in some possible implementations, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the first convex surface A20121 and the first convex surface B20122 both extend along the length direction of the air conditioner bottom case 10.

[0109] Specifically, in the embodiment of the present application, by designing the first convex surface A20121 and the first convex surface B20122 to extend along the length direction of the air conditioner bottom case 10, a longer support surface can be provided, thereby enhancing the stability of the radar module 30 in the length direction. This design can effectively prevent the radar module from shaking back and forth due to external force or vibration during use, and further improve the installation stability of the radar module.

[0110] More specifically, by extending the first convex surface A20121 and the first convex surface B20122 along the length direction of the air conditioner bottom shell 10, it is possible to ensure that the radar module 30 maintains a consistent tilt angle along the entire length direction. This design enables the radar module to cover the bottom area of ​​the air conditioner more evenly, optimize the detection range, reduce the detection blind area, and improve the detection accuracy.

[0111] More specifically, by extending the first convex surface A20121 and the first convex surface B20122 along the length direction of the air conditioner bottom shell 10, manufacturing errors and assembly errors can be better accommodated. This design allows the radar module to maintain a stable installation state under different conditions, thereby improving the overall quality of the product.

[0112] Further, in some possible implementations, such as Figure 5 and Figure 7As shown, the air conditioner bottom case 10 is provided with a screw column 102 extending along the length direction of the air conditioner bottom case 10, and the screw column 102 is formed with a first screw hole extending along the length direction of the air conditioner bottom case 10, and the radar box 30a is provided with a second screw hole, and the second screw hole also extends along the length direction of the air conditioner bottom case 10 after the radar module and the mouse-proof plate structure are matched;

[0113] In this way, when the radar module 30 and the rat-proof plate structure 20 are matched together, the second screw hole can be sleeved on the outer periphery of the screw column 102 and correspond to the first screw hole on the screw column 102;

[0114] Furthermore, the air conditioner indoor unit also includes:

[0115] The locking member 40 is used to penetrate the corresponding first screw hole and the second screw hole to fix the radar module 30 matched on the rodent-proof structure 20 on the bottom shell 10 of the air conditioner.

[0116] In the embodiment of the present application, a screw column 102 extending in the length direction and having a first screw hole is provided on the bottom shell 10 of the air conditioner, and a second screw hole extending in the length direction of the bottom shell of the air conditioner is provided on the radar box 30a, and the radar module 30 is fixed to the bottom shell 10 of the air conditioner using a locking member 40, so that the radar module can be more firmly installed. This design can effectively prevent the radar module from loosening or position displacement caused by external force or vibration during use, and further improve the installation stability of the radar module.

[0117] Specifically, in the embodiment of the present application, the design of the screw column 102 on the bottom shell of the air conditioner allows the radar module 30 to be quickly positioned during installation. At the same time, the use of the locking member 40 further fixes the position of the radar module, ensuring that the radar module can maintain a precise position in the front-to-back, up-down, and left-to-right directions, thereby optimizing the detection range and accuracy of the radar module.

[0118] For example, Figure 5 As shown, in the embodiment of the present application, a screw column 102 extending along the length direction of the air conditioner bottom shell 10 is designed, so that when the second screw hole on the radar module 30 is sleeved on the screw column 102, the screw column 102 can limit the front and rear and up and down directions of the radar module 30 {please refer to the position in conjunction with Figure 3}, and at the same time, the first screw hole on the screw column 102 directly corresponds to the second screw hole on the radar module 30, which can save the tedious and complicated radar module positioning operation, thereby facilitating the use of the locking member 40 to lock and fix the radar module, effectively simplifying the installation process of the radar module 30, so that the radar module can be quickly aligned and fixed during installation, reducing the assembly steps, improving the assembly efficiency, and reducing the production cost.

[0119] Further, in some possible implementations, such as Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, a limiting rib 101 is also provided on the screw column 102, and a notch-shaped limiting groove 304 is formed on the outer periphery of the second screw hole on the radar box;

[0120] When the second screw hole of the radar box 30a is sleeved on the outer periphery of the screw column 102, the limiting rib 101 on the screw column 102 can be inserted into the notch-shaped limiting groove 304 to limit the rotation of the radar module 30 in the circumferential direction.

[0121] That is, in the embodiment of the present application, a limiting rib 101 is provided on the screw column 102 of the bottom shell 10 of the air conditioner, and a limiting groove 304 is provided on the radar box 30a. In this way, when the second screw hole of the radar module 30 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the screw column 102 of the bottom shell 10 of the air conditioner, the first screw hole on the screw column 102 and the second screw hole of the radar module correspond to and are connected. At the same time, the limiting rib 101 on the screw column 102 can be inserted into the limiting groove 304 of the radar module 30, thereby limiting the movement of the radar module 30 in the circumferential direction and the front-to-back, up-and-down directions, effectively preventing the radar module 30 from circumferential rotation or front-to-back, up-and-down movement due to external force or vibration during use, thereby further improving the installation stability of the radar module 30.

[0122] Specifically, the screw column 102 on the bottom shell 10 of the air conditioner and the second screw hole on the radar module can ensure that the radar module 30 can be accurately and quickly aligned and positioned during installation. Ensure that the radar module 30 can maintain an accurate position in the front-to-back, up-down and left-to-right directions, thereby optimizing the detection range and accuracy of the radar module 30.

[0123] Further, in some possible implementations, such as Figure 5 and Fig. 9 As shown, the radar box 30a further includes an upper mating surface 303 and a lower mating surface 302 connected with the second mating surface 301, and a locking portion having a limiting groove 304 and a second screw hole is formed on the upper mating surface 303;

[0124] The first mating surface 201 of the rat-proof plate structure 20 includes a first plane 2011 and a plurality of first raised surfaces 2012 protruding from the first plane 2011. The first raised surface 2012 includes a first raised surface A20121 for mating with the second mating surface 301 of the radar box 30a, and a first raised surface B20122 for mating with the lower mating surface 302 of the radar box 30a.

[0125] When the second mating surface 301 of the radar box 30a is mated with the first raised surface A20121 of the rat-proof plate structure 20, and the lower mating surface 302 of the radar box 30a is mated with the first raised surface B20122 of the rat-proof plate structure 20, the second screw hole on the upper mating surface 303 of the radar box 30a corresponds to and is connected with the first screw hole on the bottom shell 10 of the air conditioner.

[0126] In the embodiment of the present application, the upper mating surface 303 and the lower mating surface 302 are designed on the radar box 30a, and they are matched with the first convex surface A20121 and the first convex surface B20122 of the mouse-proof plate structure 20, so that the radar module 30 can be accurately matched in multiple directions. This multi-directional matching design ensures that the radar module can be accurately aligned during installation, further improving the installation accuracy.

[0127] Furthermore, through the cooperation between the second mating surface 301 of the radar box 30a and the first raised surface A20121, and the cooperation between the lower mating surface 302 and the first raised surface B20122, the tilt angle and position of the radar module 30 can be precisely controlled. This design ensures that the radar module can maintain a stable tilt angle of 0°-60° after installation, and can maintain a precise position in the front-to-back, up-down and left-to-right directions, thereby optimizing the detection range and accuracy of the radar module.

[0128] Furthermore, by designing the upper mating surface 303 and the lower mating surface 302, as well as the mating relationship with the rat-proof plate structure 20, the installation process of the radar module can be simplified. This design enables the radar module to be quickly aligned and fixed during installation, reduces assembly steps, improves assembly efficiency, and reduces production costs. Through a multi-faceted matching design, the radar module 30 can be more firmly fixed to the air conditioner bottom shell 10 after installation. This design not only improves the installation stability of the radar module, but also enhances the reliability of the overall structure, so that the air conditioner can maintain stable performance during long-term use, and reduces performance degradation caused by loosening or position displacement of the radar module.

[0129] Specifically, when installing the radar module, the first raised surface A20121 and the first raised surface B20122 on the rat-proof plate structure 20 can effectively limit the radar module, so that the second screw hole on the radar module 30 can be more conveniently matched with the first screw hole on the screw column of the air conditioner bottom shell 10, and the limiting groove on the radar module 30 and the limiting rib 101 on the air conditioner bottom shell 10 can be more conveniently matched, thereby facilitating the installation and positioning of the radar module 30.

[0130] Further, in some possible implementations, such as Figure 1 As shown, the rat-proof plate structure 20 is integrally formed with the bottom shell 10 of the air conditioner;

[0131] Furthermore, the housing further comprises an outer cover 50, and the outer cover 50 is used to cover the air conditioner bottom case 10, the mouse-proof plate structure 20 and the radar module 30 inside the air conditioner indoor unit.

[0132] In the embodiment of the present application, the rat-proof plate structure 20 and the air conditioner bottom shell 10 are designed as an integral structure, which can significantly enhance the connection strength and integrity of the two. This design avoids the problem of looseness or loose connection caused by the split structure, thereby improving the structural stability of the entire air conditioner indoor unit.

[0133] Furthermore, through the one-piece molding design, the mouse-proof plate structure 20 and the air conditioner bottom shell 10 can be formed at one time during the manufacturing process, reducing the assembly steps and the use of connecting parts. This design simplifies the assembly process, improves production efficiency, and reduces production costs. And through the one-piece molding design, the connection between the mouse-proof plate structure 20 and the air conditioner bottom shell 10 is tighter, reducing gaps and splicing marks, and improving the aesthetics of the product. At the same time, this design also helps to improve the sealing of the air conditioner indoor unit, prevent dust and small animals from entering the interior, and extend the service life of the product. By designing the outer cover 50, the air conditioner bottom shell 10, the mouse-proof plate structure 20 and the radar module 30 are covered inside the air conditioner indoor unit, which can effectively protect the radar module from the influence of the external environment, such as dust, moisture and mechanical shock. At the same time, this design also optimizes the integration method of the radar module, making it more coordinated with the overall design of the air conditioner indoor unit.

[0134] In summary, the air-conditioning indoor unit provided in the embodiment of the present application is designed with a bottom shell structure that is convenient for the assembly of the radar module. At the same time, the air-conditioning bottom shell structure provided in the embodiment of the present application is capable of enabling the radar module to have a larger detection range after the radar module is assembled, thereby improving the detection effect of the air-conditioning indoor unit.
