[0045] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to be used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0046] Please refer to the following Figure 1-Figure 9 An air conditioner indoor unit 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention is described.

[0047] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Fig. 9 According to an air conditioner indoor unit 100 of an embodiment of the present invention, the air conditioner indoor unit 100 includes: a housing 10, a transverse wind direction plate assembly 20, a detection device 30, a reminder device 70 and a controller 80. Specifically, the housing 10 is formed with an air duct 113 and an air outlet 114 connected to the air duct 113; the transverse wind direction plate assembly 20 is arranged at the air outlet 114; the detection device 30 is arranged at the air outlet 114 for detecting the cleanliness state of the transverse wind direction plate assembly 20; the reminder device 70 is used to send feedback information to feedback the cleanliness state to the user; and the controller 80 is used to receive the feedback signal of the cleanliness state and then feedback it to the user.

[0048] For example, Figure 1 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, an air outlet 114 is formed on the lower side of the shell 10 , and the air outlet 114 is connected to the air duct 113 in the shell 10 . The detection device 30 is arranged on the right side of the air outlet 114 and is fixedly connected to the shell 10 .

[0049] When the air-conditioning indoor unit 100 is running, the air-conditioning indoor unit 100 blows the airflow from the air duct 113 through the air outlet 114 to the room, and the transverse wind deflector assembly 20 can adjust the direction of the airflow. When the air-conditioning indoor unit 100 stops running, the detection device 30 detects the dust thickness on the transverse wind deflector assembly 20. When the dust thickness reaches the thickness that needs to be cleaned, the detection device 30 transmits the dust thickness signal to the reminder device 70 and the controller 80. When the reminder device 70 is running, the user can clean the transverse wind deflector assembly 20 in time through the reminder issued by the reminder device 70. At the same time, the controller 80 transmits a feedback signal to the user to prompt the user to clean the transverse wind deflector assembly 20.

[0050] The air-conditioning indoor unit 100 of the present invention is provided with a detection device 30, a reminder device 70 and a controller 80. When the air-conditioning indoor unit 100 stops running, the detection device 30 can detect the dust thickness of the transverse wind deflector assembly 20 and transmit the signal of the dust thickness to the reminder device 70 and the controller 80. The reminder device 70 and the controller 80 can remind the user to clean the transverse wind deflector assembly 20, thereby ensuring that the transverse wind deflector assembly 20 can be cleaned in time, and further ensuring the cleanliness of the transverse wind deflector assembly 20, avoiding excessive dust on the transverse wind deflector assembly 20 affecting the blowing effect of the air-conditioning indoor unit 100, and at the same time, preventing the airflow blown out by the air-conditioning indoor unit 100 from blowing the dust on the transverse wind deflector assembly 20 into the room, avoiding the airflow from polluting the indoor air, which is beneficial to the health of the user and can also enhance the use experience of the air-conditioning indoor unit 100.

[0051] According to the embodiment of the present invention, the air-conditioning indoor unit 100 is provided with a detection device 30, a reminder device 70 and a controller 80, which can remind the user to clean the transverse wind direction plate assembly 20 in time, ensure the cleanliness of the transverse wind direction plate assembly 20, and avoid excessive dust on the transverse wind direction plate assembly 20 affecting the blowing effect of the air-conditioning indoor unit 100. At the same time, it can also be beneficial to the health of the user and can enhance the use experience of the air-conditioning indoor unit 100.

[0052] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 1 The detection device 30 is configured to detect the dust thickness on the surface of the transverse wind blade assembly 20. Thus, the detection device 30 can determine whether the transverse wind blade assembly 20 needs to be cleaned according to the dust thickness of the transverse wind blade assembly 20, thereby ensuring the cleanliness of the transverse wind blade assembly 20.

[0053] For example, Figure 1 As shown, the transverse wind direction plate assembly 20 includes: a mounting plate 21 and a wind direction plate 22. The detection device 30 can detect the dust thickness on the mounting plate 21, the detection device 30 can also detect the dust thickness on the wind direction plate 22, and the detection device 30 can also detect the dust thickness on the mounting plate 21 and the wind direction plate 22 at the same time. When the detection device 30 is working, the detection device 30 detects the time of the reflected light wave at a certain point on the mounting plate 21, and detects the dust thickness on the mounting plate 21 through the time of the reflected light wave on the mounting plate 21.

[0054] According to some optional embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 1, the detection device 30 is a laser sensor. Therefore, it can be ensured that the detection device 30 can accurately detect the dust thickness of the transverse wind plate assembly 20, effectively improving the detection accuracy of the detection device 30, and when the detection device 30 transmits the accurate dust thickness signal to the controller 80, it can be ensured that the controller 80 can correctly issue a reminder to the user.

[0055] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 1 The detection device 30 is fixed on the housing 10 and arranged in the longitudinal direction (such as Figure 2 That is to say, the detection device 30 can be arranged at one end of the transverse wind deflector assembly 20 in the length direction, and the detection device 30 can also be arranged at both ends of the transverse wind deflector assembly 20 in the length direction. Thus, the detection device 30 is fixed on the shell 10, which can provide a fixed position for the detection device 30 and facilitate the fixation of the detection device 30. In addition, the detection device 30 is arranged at at least one end in the length direction of the transverse wind deflector assembly 20, so that the detection device 30 does not affect the wind guiding of the transverse wind deflector assembly 20. At the same time, the detection device 30 is close to the transverse wind deflector assembly 20, which can facilitate the detection device 30 to detect the dust thickness of the transverse wind deflector assembly 20. For example, Figure 1 As shown, the detection device 30 is disposed on the right side of the transverse wind deflector assembly 20 , and the detection device 30 is fixedly connected to the housing 10 .

[0056] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 1 and Fig. 9 The reminder device 70 includes a cleaning indicator light, which is arranged on the housing 10 to indicate the cleaning state of the transverse wind deflector assembly 20. Thus, the information display of the cleaning indicator light is simple, which is convenient for users to observe. At the same time, the cleaning indicator light is low in cost and convenient for mass production.

[0057] For example, Figure 1 As shown, the cleaning indicator light is fixed on the front side of the shell 10 for user convenience. When the cleaning indicator light is on, it indicates that the transverse wind deflector assembly 20 needs to be cleaned. When the cleaning indicator light is off, it indicates that the transverse wind deflector assembly 20 does not need to be cleaned. This reminder method is simple and convenient for users.

[0058] Furthermore, if Figure 1 and Fig. 9 As shown, the reminder device 70 is configured as a controller 80 to send the status information to the mobile terminal. Thus, the user can receive the cleaning status through the mobile terminal, so that the user can be reminded to clean the transverse wind deflector assembly 20 in time.

[0059] Furthermore, the reminder device 70 is configured to send the status information to the server, so that the cleaning status is sent to the mobile terminal through the server. Thus, the server can ensure the data storage, so that multiple cleaning status data can be stored for the user to view, and at the same time, it can further ensure that the user can be reminded to clean the transverse wind deflector assembly 20 in time.

[0060] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The housing 10 includes a chassis 11, and the transverse wind direction plate assembly 20 is detachably connected to the chassis 11. Therefore, the transverse wind direction plate assembly 20 can be easily disassembled, so that the transverse wind direction plate assembly 20 can be easily cleaned. At the same time, after the transverse wind direction plate assembly 20 is disassembled, the air outlet 114 and the air duct 113 can be cleaned, so that the airflow can be effectively prevented from blowing dust on the air duct 113 or the air outlet 114 into the room, so that the airflow blown out by the air conditioner indoor unit 100 can be further prevented from polluting the indoor air.

[0061] According to some optional embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 7 The transverse wind deflector assembly 20 includes: a mounting plate 21, a wind deflector 22 and a connecting rod 23. The mounting plate 21 is detachably connected to the chassis 11. The wind deflector 22 is rotatably arranged on the mounting plate 21. The number of wind deflectors 22 is multiple, that is, the number of wind deflectors 22 can be two, three or four or more. The multiple wind deflectors 22 are arranged along the length direction of the mounting plate 21 (such as Figure 7 The connecting rod 23 extends along the length direction of the mounting plate 21, and the plurality of wind direction plates 22 are rotatably connected to the connecting rod 23.

[0062] In this way, the installation plate 21 is disassembled from the chassis 11, and the horizontal wind deflector assembly 20 can be separated from the chassis 11. This disassembly step is simple and easy to operate. When the air conditioner indoor unit 100 is running, the wind deflector 22 can rotate relative to the installation plate 21. The wind deflector 22 rotates to adjust the airflow direction, so that the air conditioner indoor unit 100 can blow air according to the user's wishes, further improving the user experience. In addition, multiple wind deflectors 22 are set, and the airflow can be adjusted in the flow range of the airflow, so that the airflow blown out of the air outlet 114 can be blown out according to the guiding direction of the wind deflector 22. At the same time, multiple wind deflectors 22 are rotatably connected to the connecting rod 23. When one wind deflector 22 is controlled to rotate, the wind deflector 22 drives the connecting rod 23 to rotate, and the remaining wind deflectors 22 will rotate synchronously under the drive of the connecting rod 23, thereby reducing the layout of the drive structure and reducing production costs.

[0063] For example, Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 7 As shown, the mounting plate 21 is a rectangular plate extending in the left-right direction. In the up-down direction, the mounting plate 21 is an arc-shaped plate extending obliquely from the front lower to the upper right. The front side of the mounting plate 21 is detachably connected to the base plate. Eleven wind direction plates 22 are provided on the front side of the upper surface of the mounting plate 21. The eleven wind direction plates 22 are arranged at intervals in the left-right direction of the mounting plate 21. The connecting rod 23 is extended in the left-right direction. Two connecting rods 23 are provided. The two connecting rods 23 are arranged at intervals in the left-right direction. The multiple wind direction plates 22 are divided into left and right parts. The connecting rod 23 on the left side is rotatably connected to the six wind direction plates 22 on the left side, and the connecting rod 23 on the right side is rotatably connected to the five wind direction plates 22 on the right side.

[0064] According to some optional embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 The mounting plate 21 is provided with a plurality of first clamping portions 211, that is, the mounting plate 21 may be provided with two, three, four or more first clamping portions 211, and the plurality of first clamping portions 211 are arranged along the length direction of the mounting plate 21 (such as Figure 6 The mounting plate 21 is arranged in an interval manner in the left and right direction, and the chassis 11 is provided with a plurality of second clamping portions 111, that is, the chassis 11 can be provided with two, three or four or more second clamping portions 111, and the plurality of first clamping portions 211 correspond to the plurality of second clamping portions 111 one by one and are clamped and connected.

[0065] In this way, the first clamping portion 211 and the second clamping portion 111 are clamped and connected, so that the mounting plate 21 and the housing 10 can be clamped and connected. This connection form has a simple structure, low cost, and is convenient for mass production. At the same time, the clamping connection form is simple to disassemble, which facilitates the disassembly of the transverse wind deflector assembly 20. In addition, by providing multiple first clamping portions 211 and multiple second clamping portions 111, the connection strength between the transverse wind deflector assembly 20 and the housing 10 can be ensured, and the separation of the transverse wind deflector assembly 20 from the housing 10 can be avoided.

[0066] For example, Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, three first clamping portions 211 are provided on the front side of the mounting plate 21, and the three first clamping portions 211 are arranged at intervals along the left-right direction. Three second clamping portions 111 are provided on the chassis 11, and the three second clamping portions 111 are arranged at intervals along the left-right direction of the chassis 11 and correspond one-to-one with the first clamping portions 211 in the front-back direction, so that it can be ensured that the first clamping portion 211 can be clamped onto the second clamping portion 111.

[0067] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 The air conditioner indoor unit 100 further includes: a first motor 40, which is disposed on the chassis 11 and connected to the wind direction plate 22 for driving the wind direction plate 22 to rotate. Thus, the chassis 11 can provide an installation position for the first motor 40, thereby facilitating the installation of the first motor 40. At the same time, the first motor 40 can drive the wind direction plate 22 to rotate, thereby ensuring that the wind direction plate 22 can adjust the flow direction of the airflow.

[0068] Furthermore, if Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, two first motors 40 are provided, and the two first motors 40 are arranged to extend in the left-right direction. Thus, the two first motors 40 can drive multiple wind direction plates 22 to drive synchronously, so as to achieve normal guidance of the airflow by the wind direction plates 22. At the same time, compared with the solution of providing one first motor 40, providing two first motors 40 can reduce the power of the first motor 40, thereby reducing the production cost and facilitating mass production.

[0069] For example, Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the first motor 40 on the left side is connected to the leftmost wind deflector 22, and the first motor 40 on the right side is connected to the rightmost wind deflector 22. The remaining wind deflectors 22 rotate synchronously with the two wind deflectors 22 connected to the first motor 40 via the connecting rod 23, thereby achieving synchronous rotation of all wind deflectors 22.

[0070] According to some optional embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 The air conditioner indoor unit 100 further includes: a cover plate 60, a first motor 40 is arranged on the cover plate 60, the cover plate 60 is fixedly connected to the chassis 11, one of the cover plate 60 and the mounting plate 21 is provided with a block 61 and the other is provided with a slot 212, that is, the cover plate 60 may be provided with a block 61 and the mounting plate 21 is provided with a slot 212, or the mounting plate 21 may be provided with a block 61 and the cover plate 60 is provided with a slot 212, and the block 61 is matched in the slot 212. Thus, the cover plate 60 can fix the first motor 40 on the chassis 11, thereby preventing the first motor 40 from being separated from the chassis 11, and at the same time, the cover plate 60 and the mounting plate 21 are matched through the slot 212 and the block 61, and this matching form has a simple structure and is convenient for the installation of the mounting plate 21 and the cover plate 60.

[0071] For example, Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, two cover plates 60 are provided on the front side of the first motor 40, and the two cover plates 60 are arranged at intervals in the left-right direction. The cover plates 60 are arranged to extend obliquely from the front lower to the upper right, and the upper and lower ends of the cover plates 60 are fixedly connected to the chassis 11. A clamping block 61 is provided on the front side of each cover plate 60, and the clamping block 61 protrudes forward. A clamping groove 212 recessed forward is provided on the front side of the rear side surface of the mounting plate 21, and the clamping groove 212 extends into the interior of the rear end of the wind deflector 22, and the clamping block 61 extends into the clamping groove 212 and has an interference fit with the clamping block 61.

[0072] When the first motor 40 is running, the output shaft of the first motor 40 rotates, and the output shaft of the first motor 40 drives the block 61 to rotate. The block 61 and the slot 212 are interference fit, and the block 61 drives the slot 212 to rotate. The slot 212 drives the rear end of the wind direction plate 22 to rotate. At the same time, the wind direction plate 22 drives other wind direction plates 22 through the connecting rod 23, so that multiple wind direction plates 22 can rotate synchronously.

[0073] According to some optional embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 8 The block 61 is formed on the cover plate 60, and the mounting plate 21 is formed with a plurality of holes along the width direction of the mounting plate 21 (such as Figure 8 The guide groove 2131 extends in the front-to-back direction of the mounting plate 21 as shown in FIG. Figure 8 The rear end of the guide groove 2131 shown in FIG. 2 extends to one side edge of the mounting plate 21 in the width direction (such as Figure 8 The rear side edge of the mounting plate 21 shown in FIG. 21 ), the other end of the guide groove 2131 (as shown in FIG. Figure 8 The front end of the guide groove 2131 shown in the figure is connected with the card slot 212, and the card block 61 is suitable for sliding from the guide groove 2131 into the card slot 212.

[0074] In this way, during the matching process of the mounting plate 21 and the cover plate 60, the guide groove 2131 can guide the block 61, so that the mounting plate 21 and the chassis 11 can be easily installed. At the same time, the other end of the guide groove 2131 is connected to the slot 212, so that the block 61 can be accurately introduced into the slot 212, so that the block 61 can be properly matched with the slot 212. In addition, when the mounting plate 21 is pushed to slide the block 61 along the guide groove 2131 into the slot 212, the user can be reminded that the mounting plate 21 has been installed in place, and there is no need to continue pushing the mounting plate 21.

[0075] For example, Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 8As shown, the lower surface of the mounting plate 21 is provided with two guide grooves 2131 extending in the front-to-back direction, the two guide grooves 2131 are arranged at intervals in the left-to-right direction, the front end of the guide groove 2131 extends to the clamping groove 212, and the rear end of the guide groove 2131 extends to the rear edge of the mounting plate 21. When the mounting plate 21 is mounted on the chassis 11, the mounting plate 21 is pushed from the front to the back until the two clamping blocks 61 are inserted into the corresponding clamping grooves 212 along the guide grooves 2131. At this time, the mounting plate 21 and the chassis 11 are mounted.

[0076] According to some optional embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 8 , at one end of the guide groove 2131 (such as Figure 8 The rear end of the guide groove 2131 shown in FIG. Figure 8 In the direction of the front end of the guide groove 2131 shown in FIG. 1 , the width of at least part of the guide groove 2131 gradually decreases, that is, the width of part of the guide groove 2131 can be gradually reduced, or the width of the entire guide groove 2131 can be gradually reduced. Therefore, when the mounting plate 21 is mounted on the chassis 11, the shaking of the mounting plate 21 in the width direction of the guide groove 2131 can be limited, so as to ensure that the clamping block 61 can be accurately clamped into the clamping groove 212.

[0077] For example, Figure 8 As shown, in the direction from back to front, the width of the guide groove 2131 is constant from the rear end of the guide groove 2131 to the middle position of the guide groove 2131, so that the block 61 can be easily inserted into the guide groove 2131, and the width of the guide groove 2131 gradually decreases from the middle position of the guide groove 2131 to the front end of the guide groove 2131, so that the block 61 can be prevented from shaking left and right in the guide groove 2131.

[0078] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 8 , one side surface of the mounting plate 21 (such as Figure 8 The lower surface of the mounting plate 21 shown in the figure is provided with two guide ribs 213 arranged at intervals, and a guide groove 2131 is defined between the two guide ribs 213. Therefore, the guide rib 213 can limit the block 61 to prevent the block 61 from sliding out of the guide groove 2131. At the same time, this arrangement of the guide groove 2131 is simple in structure and convenient for processing.

[0079] For example, Figure 8 As shown, the lower surface of the mounting plate 21 is provided with four guide ribs 213, which are arranged at intervals along the left-right direction. Every two guide ribs 213 form a group and define a guide groove 2131. In this way, the four guide ribs 213 define two guide grooves 2131 arranged at intervals along the left-right direction.

[0080] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 The air conditioner indoor unit 100 further includes a decorative plate 50, which is disposed on one end of the mounting plate 21 facing the air outlet 114 (eg Figure 1 The front end of the air outlet 114 shown in the figure), the decorative plate 50 is detachably connected to the chassis 11. Thus, the decorative plate 50 can cover one end of the air outlet 114, thereby improving the aesthetics of the air outlet 114. At the same time, the decorative plate 50 is detachable, thereby facilitating the maintenance and replacement of the decorative plate 50.

[0081] Furthermore, if Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the decorative plate 50 is arranged extending in the left-right direction, and a fixing column 51 is respectively provided at the left and right ends of the decorative plate 50, and a fixing hole 112 is respectively provided at the left and right sides of the chassis 11. Therefore, the matching form of the fixing column 51 and the fixing hole 112 is simple in structure and easy to process. At the same time, this connection form is simple in operation and easy to install.

[0082] For example, Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the fixing column 51 on the left side of the decorative plate 50 protrudes to the left and is cylindrical, and the fixing column 51 on the right side of the decorative plate 50 protrudes to the right and is cylindrical, and two circular fixing holes 112 are provided on the left and right sides of the chassis 11. When the decorative plate 50 is connected to the chassis 11, the fixing columns 51 on the left and right sides of the decorative plate 50 are inserted into the fixing holes 112 to achieve a fixed connection between the decorative plate 50 and the chassis 11.

[0083] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Fig. 9 The housing 10 further includes a panel 12, which is arranged on the front side of the chassis 11, and the panel 12 is rotatably connected to the chassis 11 to open the front side of the housing 10. Thus, the panel 12 is arranged on the front side of the housing 10, so that the front side of the housing 10 can be covered to prevent dust from falling from the front side of the housing 10 into the interior of the air conditioner indoor unit 100. At the same time, the panel 12 is rotatably connected to the chassis 11, which can facilitate the maintenance and cleaning of the interior of the air conditioner indoor unit 100.

[0084] For example, Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Fig. 9As shown, the upper end of the panel 12 is rotatably connected to the housing 10, and the lower end of the panel 12 is snap-connected to the housing 10. When it is necessary to clean or repair the interior of the air conditioner indoor unit 100, the lower end of the panel 12 is separated from the housing 10, and then the lower end of the panel 12 is pushed counterclockwise until the panel 12 is fully opened. At this time, the interior of the air conditioner indoor unit 100 can be cleaned or repaired. Preferably, the controller 80 is provided on the panel 12, so that it is convenient for the user to observe whether the controller 80 is running.

[0085] According to the control method of the air conditioner indoor unit 100 of the second aspect of the present invention, refer to Figure 1 The air-conditioning indoor unit 100 is the air-conditioning indoor unit 100 according to the first aspect of this embodiment, and the control method includes: obtaining the cleaning state parameters of the transverse wind direction plate assembly 20; confirming that the cleaning state parameters reach the cleaning threshold; and reminding the user to clean the transverse wind direction plate assembly 20.

[0086] Obtaining the cleaning status parameters of the transverse wind deflector assembly 20 can be by measuring the dust thickness on the surface of the transverse wind deflector assembly 20, taking a photo of the surface of the transverse wind deflector assembly 20, or determining the dust thickness on the surface of the transverse wind deflector assembly 20 based on the time it takes for the surface of the transverse wind deflector assembly 20 to reflect light waves.

[0087] According to the control method of the air-conditioning indoor unit 100 of an embodiment of the present invention, by setting the air-conditioning indoor unit 100 of the first aspect embodiment mentioned above, the dust thickness on the surface of the transverse wind deflector assembly 20 can be accurately obtained, and the user can be reminded to clean the transverse wind deflector assembly 20 in time, thereby preventing the airflow blown out by the air-conditioning indoor unit 100 from blowing the dust on the transverse wind deflector assembly 20 into the indoor polluted air, which is beneficial to the health of the user.

[0088] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 1 The cleaning state parameter of the transverse wind direction plate assembly 20 includes dust thickness. Therefore, the dust thickness parameter is easy to obtain and easy to operate, thereby improving the efficiency of obtaining the cleaning state parameter.

[0089] According to some optional embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 1 The control method also includes: obtaining the initial thickness of dust on the surface of the transverse wind direction plate assembly 20, the initial thickness being the dust thickness on the surface of the transverse wind direction plate assembly 20 when the air-conditioning indoor unit 100 is initially operated; confirming that the parameters of the cleaning state have reached or exceeded a preset value, including: comparing the obtained dust thickness with the initial thickness, if the difference between the dust thickness and the initial thickness is greater than or equal to a preset value, the preset value is the thickness value set by the system to be cleaned, then it is determined that the cleaning state parameters of the transverse wind direction plate assembly 20 have reached the cleaning threshold.

[0090] In this way, it is possible to accurately detect whether the transverse wind deflector assembly 20 needs to be cleaned, thereby promptly reminding the user to clean the transverse wind deflector assembly 20, thereby preventing excessive dust on the transverse wind deflector assembly 20 from affecting the air blowing of the air-conditioning indoor unit 100, and also preventing the air flow blown out by the air-conditioning indoor unit 100 from blowing dust into the room and polluting the air.

[0091] For example, Figure 1 As shown, when the air conditioner indoor unit 100 is powered on for the first time and the air conditioner indoor unit 100 is in a standby state, the detection device 30 detects the time of light wave reflection on the surface of the transverse wind plate assembly 20 and obtains the dust thickness in combination with the system algorithm, which is recorded as the initial thickness. Each time the user uses the air conditioner indoor unit 100 and the air conditioner indoor unit 100 is in a standby state, the detection device 30 will detect the dust thickness of the transverse wind plate assembly 20 again. If the dust thickness is less than the cleaning threshold, the detection device 30 will not transmit a signal to the controller 80, and the controller 80 will not work. If the dust thickness is greater than the cleaning threshold, the detection device 30 will transmit a signal to the reminder device 70 and the controller 80, and the reminder device 70 will run to remind the user to clean the transverse wind plate assembly 20, and the controller 80 will run, and the controller 80 will send the cleaning status information to the user's mobile terminal.

[0092] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 1 Before obtaining the parameters of the cleaning state of the transverse wind direction plate assembly 20, the control method further includes: determining that the fan (not shown in the figure) of the air conditioner indoor unit 100 is not working. When the fan of the air conditioner indoor unit 100 is working, the cleaning state parameters of the transverse wind direction plate assembly 20 obtained by the detection device 30 will be inaccurate. Therefore, accurate cleaning state parameters can be obtained only when the fan of the air conditioner indoor unit 100 is not working, so that accurate cleaning reminders can be given to the user.

[0093] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 1 The air conditioner indoor unit 100 has a cleaning mode. In the cleaning mode, the transverse wind plate assembly 20 and the housing 10 are detachable. After reminding the user to clean the transverse wind plate assembly 20, the control method further includes: switching the air conditioner indoor unit 100 to the cleaning mode. Thus, in the cleaning mode, the user can conveniently remove the transverse wind plate assembly 20 from the housing 10, so that the transverse wind plate assembly 20 can be easily cleaned.

[0094] Furthermore, if Figure 1 As shown, in the cleaning mode, the transverse wind deflector assembly 20 is reset to a centered state, thereby facilitating the removal and installation of the transverse wind deflector assembly 20 .

[0095] For example, a cleaning mode button is provided on the remote control (not shown in the figure). When the user presses and holds the cleaning mode button for three seconds, the air-conditioning indoor unit 100 enters the cleaning mode. At this time, the transverse wind direction plate assembly 20 is reset to the centered state, and the user can separate the transverse wind direction plate assembly 20 from the shell 10. Then the user can clean the air outlet 114, the air duct 113 and the fan. After the user completes the cleaning, the transverse wind direction plate assembly 20 is installed on the shell 10. Then the user presses and holds the cleaning mode button for three seconds, and the air-conditioning indoor unit 100 exits the cleaning mode. At this time, the air-conditioning indoor unit 100 enters the standby state. At the same time, the detection device 30 detects the dust thickness of the transverse wind direction plate assembly 20 again.

[0096] Reference below Figure 1-Figure 9 An air conditioner indoor unit 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention is described.

[0097] Schematically, the air conditioner indoor unit 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention is as follows: Figure 1 The air conditioner indoor unit 100 shown includes: a housing 10, a transverse wind direction plate assembly 20, a first motor 40, a fan and a decorative plate 50. The transverse wind direction plate assembly 20, the first motor 40, the fan and the decorative plate 50 are installed in the housing 10.

[0098] The housing 10 includes a chassis 11 and a panel 12. The panel 12 is disposed on the front side of the chassis 11, the upper end of the panel 12 is rotatably connected to the chassis 11, and the lower end of the panel 12 is detachably connected to the chassis 11. The chassis 11 is provided with an air duct 113 and an air outlet 114 connected to the air duct 113, and the front side of the air outlet 114 is provided with three second clamping parts 111 arranged at intervals in the left-right direction.

[0099] The transverse wind deflector assembly 20 includes: a mounting plate 21, eleven wind deflectors 22 and two connecting rods 23. Specifically, the mounting plate 21 is a rectangular plate extending in the left-right direction. In the up-down direction, the mounting plate 21 is an arc-shaped plate extending obliquely from the front lower to the rear upper. The front side of the mounting plate 21 is provided with three first clamping parts 211 arranged at intervals in the left-right direction. The front side of the lower side surface of the mounting plate 21 is provided with a clamping groove 212 recessed upward. The lower side surface of the mounting plate 21 is provided with four guide ribs 213. The four guide ribs 213 are extended and arranged in the left-right direction. Every two guide ribs 213 form a group and define a guide groove 2131. The guide groove 2131 is arranged to extend in the front-to-back direction, the rear end of the guide groove 2131 extends to the rear edge of the mounting plate 21, the front end of the guide groove 2131 is connected to the clamping groove 212, the width of the guide groove 2131 in the left-right direction is constant in the area from the rear end of the guide groove 2131 to the middle position of the guide groove 2131, and the width of the guide groove 2131 in the left-right direction gradually decreases in the area from the middle position of the guide groove 2131 to the front end of the guide groove 2131. Eleven wind deflectors 22 are arranged at intervals in the left-right direction, the rear end of the wind deflector 22 is rotatably connected to the upper surface of the mounting plate 21, and the clamping groove 212 extends into the rear end of the wind deflector 22, the connecting rod 23 is arranged to extend in the left-right direction, two connecting rods 23 are provided, and the two connecting rods 23 are arranged at intervals in the left-right direction, the connecting rod 23 on the left side connects the six wind deflectors 22 on the left side, and the connecting rod 23 on the right side connects the five wind deflectors 22 on the right side.

[0100] Two first motors 40 are provided, and the two first motors 40 are arranged at intervals in the left-right direction. The first motor 40 has a cover plate 60, which is provided at the front side of the first motor 40, and extends obliquely from the front lower to the rear upper. The lower side of the cover plate 60 is fixedly connected to the chassis 11, and the upper side of the cover plate 60 is fixedly connected to the chassis 11. A forward-protruding block 61 is formed on the front side of the cover plate 60, and the block 61 is matched in the card slot 212. The decorative plate 50 is extended in the left-right direction, and the decorative plate 50 is covered on the front end of the mounting plate 21. A cylindrical fixing column 51 is provided on each of the left and right sides of the decorative plate 50. When the controller 80 assembles the air-conditioning indoor unit 100, the lower part of the panel 12 is first disassembled from the chassis 11, and then the lower part of the panel 12 is rotated counterclockwise to install the fan in the chassis 11, and then the mounting plate 21 is moved to the position of the air outlet 114, and then the guide groove 2131 is matched with the block 61, and then the mounting plate 21 is pushed from front to back until the block 61 is inserted into the slot 212 along the guide groove 2131, and then the panel 12 is rotated clockwise, and the lower end of the panel 12 is connected to the chassis 11, and finally the two fixing columns 51 of the decorative panel 50 are inserted into the corresponding fixing holes 112 on the shell 10. At this time, the air-conditioning indoor unit 100 is assembled.

[0101] When the air-conditioning indoor unit 100 needs to be cleaned, the user first disassembles the decorative panel 50 and the chassis 11, and then disassembles the mounting plate 21 of the transverse wind deflector assembly 20 and the chassis 11. After the user has cleaned the transverse wind deflector assembly 20, the air outlet 114, the air duct 113 and the fan, the user then installs the transverse wind deflector assembly 20 onto the chassis 11. At this point, the cleaning of the transverse wind deflector assembly 20 is completed.

[0102] The air conditioning indoor unit 100 of the present invention is provided with a detachable transverse wind deflector assembly 20, so that the user can conveniently clean the transverse wind deflector assembly 20, the air outlet 114, the air duct 113 and the fan, thereby ensuring the cleaning effect of the air conditioning indoor unit 100.

[0103] like Figure 1-Figure 9 As shown, in another optional embodiment, the provided air conditioner indoor unit 100 is additionally provided with a detection device 30, a cleaning indicator light and a controller 80. Specifically, the detection device 30 is a laser sensor, and the detection device 30 is arranged on the right side of the air outlet 114. The controller 80 is electrically connected to the cleaning indicator light, and the cleaning indicator light is arranged on the panel 12. When the air conditioner indoor unit 100 is used, when the air conditioner indoor unit 100 is powered on for the first time, the air conditioner indoor unit 100 is in a standby state. At this time, the laser sensor detects the time of the reflected light wave and obtains the initial thickness of the dust on the surface of the mounting plate 21 in combination with the system algorithm. When the user starts the air-conditioning indoor unit 100, the fan starts to run, and the fan blows the airflow from the air duct 113 to the air outlet 114, and then blows the airflow from the air outlet 114 to the room. When the user wants to adjust the direction of the airflow, the first motor 40 is controlled to run, and the first motor 40 drives the output shaft of the first motor 40 to rotate, and the output shaft of the first motor 40 drives the block 61 to rotate, and the block 61 drives the slot 212 to rotate, and the slot 212 pushes a wind direction plate 22 to rotate, and the wind direction plate 22 drives the connecting rod 23 to move in the left and right directions, and the other wind direction plates 22 rotate synchronously with the connecting rod 23, so that all the wind direction plates 22 rotate synchronously, and then the direction of the airflow is adjusted.

[0104] When the user uses the air conditioner indoor unit 100 each time and puts the air conditioner indoor unit 100 in standby mode, the laser sensor detects the dust thickness on the surface of the mounting plate 21 again, and then compares the dust thickness with the initial thickness. If the difference between the dust thickness and the initial thickness is less than the cleaning threshold, the laser sensor does not transmit a signal to the cleaning indicator light. If the difference between the dust thickness and the initial thickness is greater than or equal to the cleaning threshold, the laser sensor transmits a signal to the cleaning indicator light, and the cleaning indicator light flashes to remind the user to clean the transverse wind plate assembly 20. When the user observes that the cleaning indicator light flashes, the user presses and holds the cleaning mode button on the remote control for three seconds, and the air conditioner indoor unit 100 enters the cleaning mode. At this time, the first motor 40 drives the transverse wind plate assembly 20 to automatically reset to the center position. Then, the user first removes the decorative plate 50 from the chassis 11, and then removes the mounting plate 21 of the transverse wind direction plate assembly 20 from the chassis 11. After the user cleans the transverse wind direction plate assembly 20, the air outlet 114, the air duct 113 and the fan, the user then installs the transverse wind direction plate assembly 20 on the chassis 11. At this time, the cleaning of the transverse wind direction plate assembly 20 is completed. After that, the user presses the cleaning mode button on the remote control for three seconds, and the air conditioner indoor unit 100 exits the cleaning mode. At this time, the laser sensor re-records the dust thickness on the mounting plate 21 until the next time the difference between the dust thickness and the initial thickness is greater than or equal to the cleaning threshold, the cleaning indicator will issue a cleaning reminder again.

[0105] The control method of the air-conditioning indoor unit 100 of the present invention, by setting the air-conditioning indoor unit 100 of the first aspect embodiment mentioned above, setting the detection device 30 and the controller 80 on the air-conditioning indoor unit 100, can ensure the cleanliness of the transverse wind direction plate assembly 20, and avoid excessive dust on the transverse wind direction plate assembly 20 affecting the blowing effect of the air-conditioning indoor unit 100. At the same time, it can also be beneficial to the health of users and can enhance the use experience of the air-conditioning indoor unit 100.
