Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of air conditioning, for example, to an air conditioning indoor unit and an air conditioner. Background Art

[0002] With the improvement of people's living standards, air conditioners are becoming increasingly common in daily life and work, and people's expectations for air conditioners are also increasing. For example, the requirements for indoor air quality are becoming increasingly stringent. Currently, various aromatherapy materials are commonly used to improve indoor air conditions. For example, a structure containing a certain aromatherapy material can be placed on the filter of an indoor unit. When air enters the air conditioner through the filter, the fragrance emitted by the aromatherapy material is introduced into the air conditioner. After the air conditioner adjusts the temperature, it enters the indoor space, thereby achieving the purpose of adjusting the indoor air conditioner.

[0003] Related art discloses an air conditioner indoor unit, comprising: a reservoir assembly, located within the unit, for storing essential oils and having an outlet configured so that the amount of essential oil discharged each time is positively correlated with the volume of the workspace; and a diffuser assembly, located within the unit, connected to the outlet and configured to diffuse the essential oil flowing into the unit through the outlet. The air outlet of the unit has a snap-in slot for removably snapping a reservoir tube into the slot. This facilitates removal of the reservoir tube and facilitates user refilling of the tube.

[0004] During the implementation of the embodiments of the present disclosure, it was found that at least the following problems exist in the related art:

[0005] In the air-conditioning indoor unit in the related art, the material storage tube can be detachably connected to the card slot through the card slot. For indoor units installed at a higher position, such as wall-mounted indoor units, ceiling-mounted air-conditioning indoor units or ceiling units, when users need to add essential oils, they also need to climb up to operate, making the disassembly and replacement of the fragrance module very cumbersome.

[0006] It should be noted that the information disclosed in the above background technology section is only used to enhance the understanding of the background of this application, and therefore may include information that does not constitute prior art known to ordinary technicians in this field.

[0051] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present disclosure can be combined with each other.

[0052] For the convenience of description, the front, back, left and right directions of the present application are shown in the figure, wherein the length direction refers to the left and right direction.

[0053] Combine Figures 1 to 28As shown, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides an air conditioner indoor unit, which includes a housing 10. The housing 10 defines a receiving cavity 103 having an air inlet 101 and an air outlet 102. The air inlet 101 is provided on the bottom wall of the housing 10, and the air outlet 102 is provided on the front side wall 108 of the housing 10. Optionally, a top wall 107 of the air conditioner is provided against a ceiling or a suspended ceiling.

[0054] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the air inlet 101 of the air conditioner is arranged on the bottom wall of the shell 10, and the air outlet 102 is arranged on the front side wall 108 of the shell 10. In this way, the top wall 107 of the air conditioner can be set against the ceiling or suspended ceiling, and no space needs to be reserved on the top of the air conditioner, which improves the aesthetics of the air conditioner installation and the sense of integration with the home decoration.

[0055] Optionally, the air inlet 101 is located on the rear side of the bottom wall of the shell 10, so that the air flow flows in from the rear side of the shell 10, then flows through the heat exchanger 201, flows forward and flows out from the air outlet on the front side, thereby improving the heat exchange effect with the heat exchanger 201.

[0056] The air outlet 102 is located on the front side wall 108 of the housing 10, so that the air outlet 102 does not occupy the top wall 107 of the housing 10, thereby avoiding affecting the installation of the air conditioner. In addition, the air outlet 102 is located on the front side wall 108 of the housing 10, which facilitates the air conditioner to discharge air forward and increases the air outlet area.

[0057] Optionally, the air conditioner indoor unit further includes an air inlet guide plate 104 and an air inlet drive mechanism. The air inlet guide plate 104 is movably disposed at the air inlet 101 and is capable of opening or closing the air inlet 101. The air inlet drive mechanism is drivably connected to the air inlet guide plate 104 and provides a driving force for the air inlet guide plate 104 to enable the air inlet guide plate 104 to open or close the air inlet 101.

[0058] Alternatively, as Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the air inlet drive mechanism includes a telescopic rod 301, which is driven and connected to the air inlet guide plate 104; when the telescopic rod 301 is extended, the telescopic rod 301 drives the air inlet guide plate 104 to move away from the air inlet 101 to open the air inlet 101; when the telescopic rod 301 is retracted, the telescopic rod 301 drives the air inlet guide plate 104 to move toward the air inlet 101 to close the air inlet 101.

[0059] In the disclosed embodiment, the telescopic rod 301 is drivably connected to the air inlet guide plate 104. The telescopic rod 301 can be extended or retracted. When the telescopic rod 301 is extended, the telescopic rod 301 can drive the air inlet guide plate 104 to move, thereby opening the air inlet 101. When the telescopic rod 301 is retracted, it can drive the air inlet guide plate 104 to move in the opposite direction, thereby closing the air inlet 101. The telescopic rod 301 has stable movement and can automatically open and close the air inlet guide plate 104. Optionally, the telescopic rod 301 is an electric telescopic rod or a pneumatic telescopic rod.

[0060] In some optional embodiments, the telescopic rod can drive the air inlet guide plate 104 to move along the telescopic direction of the telescopic rod to open or close the air inlet.

[0061] In other optional embodiments, the air inlet drive mechanism further includes a rotating member 302, one end of which is rotatably connected to the telescopic end of the telescopic rod 301; wherein the other end of the rotating member 302 is connected to the air inlet guide plate 104, and the telescopic rod 301 can drive the rotating member 302 to rotate, thereby driving the air inlet guide plate 104 to rotate, so that the air inlet guide plate 104 opens or closes the air inlet 101. In the disclosed embodiment, the telescopic end of the telescopic rod 301 is rotatably connected to the rotating member 302, and the other end of the rotating member 302 is connected to the air inlet guide plate 104. In this way, when the telescopic rod 301 is extended or retracted, the telescopic rod 301 can drive the rotating member 302 to rotate, and the rotating member 302 in turn drives the air inlet guide plate 104 to rotate, thereby opening or closing the air inlet guide plate 104.

[0062] Alternatively, as Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the air inlet drive mechanism further includes a rotating shaft 303 , which is connected to the air inlet guide plate 104 . The rotating shaft 303 is disposed in the accommodating cavity 103 , and the other end of the rotating member 302 is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft 303 .

[0063] In the disclosed embodiment, when the telescopic rod 301 is extended, the rotating member 302 rotates in a first direction, simultaneously driving the rotating shaft 303 to rotate. The rotating shaft 303 then drives the air inlet guide 104 to rotate, thereby opening the air inlet guide 104 and rotating in the first direction. When the telescopic rod 301 is retracted, the telescopic rod 301 drives the rotating member 302 to rotate in a second direction opposite to the first direction, thereby driving the rotating shaft 303 to rotate. The rotating shaft 303 then drives the air inlet guide 104 to rotate in the second direction, thereby closing the air inlet guide 104. For example, the air inlet guide 104 can rotate backward or forward.

[0064] In some optional embodiments, the rotating shaft 303 can move in the vertical direction and is rotatably connected to the rotating member 302; wherein, when the telescopic rod 301 drives the rotating member 302 to move, the rotating member 302 drives the rotating shaft 303 to move in the vertical direction, and the rotating member 302 can rotate around the rotating shaft 303, so that the rotating shaft 303 drives the air inlet guide plate 104 to open or close.

[0065] In the disclosed embodiment, the rotating member 302 is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft 303, and the rotating shaft 303 is movable in a vertical direction. Thus, when the telescopic rod 301 is extended, the telescopic rod 301 first drives the rotating member 302 and the rotating shaft 303 downward. After the rotating member 302 reaches a predetermined position, sufficient rotational space is left, and the rotating shaft 303 cannot move further downward. The telescopic rod 301 continues to exert a downward force on the rotating member 302, causing the rotating member 302 to rotate. At the same time, the rotating member 302 can drive the rotating shaft 303 to rotate, so that the rotating shaft drives the air inlet guide plate 104 to rotate, thereby opening the air inlet guide plate 104. When the air inlet guide plate 104 needs to be closed, the telescopic rod 301 is retracted, first driving the rotating member 302 to rotate in the opposite direction, so that the air inlet guide plate 104 first rotates to a horizontal position. Then, the telescopic rod 301 drives the rotating shaft 303 and the air inlet guide plate 104 upward, so that the air inlet guide plate 104 can cover the air inlet 101, thereby closing the air inlet 101.

[0066] Optionally, the air inlet drive mechanism further includes a connecting plate 304, which is located in the accommodating cavity 103, with the upper end of the connecting plate 304 connected to the rotating shaft 303, and the lower end of the connecting plate 304 connected to the air inlet guide plate 104. This can improve the stability of the connection between the air inlet guide plate 104 and the rotating shaft 303.

[0067] Optionally, the rotating shaft is cylindrical, and a rotating groove is provided at the other end of the rotating member. The rotating groove is square, so that when the rotating groove rotates around the rotating shaft, it can drive the rotating shaft to rotate.

[0068] In other optional embodiments, the rotating shaft 303 is connected to the shell 10, and the air inlet drive mechanism includes a connecting plate 304 and a connecting shaft, the connecting plate 304 is located in the accommodating cavity 103, and the connecting shaft is connected between the rotating member 302 and the connecting plate 304; wherein, the rotating member 302 can drive the connecting shaft to move, so that the connecting shaft drives the connecting plate 304 and the air inlet guide plate 104 to move.

[0069] In the disclosed embodiment, the rotating shaft 303 is fixed relative to the housing 10. When the telescopic rod 301 is extended or retracted, it drives the rotating member 302 to rotate about the rotating shaft 303. Simultaneously, the rotating member 302 drives the connecting shaft, the connecting plate 304, and the air inlet guide plate 104 to rotate. The rotating member 302 and the air inlet guide plate 104 are connected via the connecting shaft and the connecting plate 304. When the telescopic rod 301 is extended, the rotating member 302 rotates in a first direction, thereby driving the connecting shaft to rotate. The connecting shaft in turn drives the connecting plate 304 to rotate. The connecting plate 304 can rotate the air inlet guide plate 104 to open the air inlet guide plate 104. When the telescopic rod 301 is retracted, the telescopic rod 301 drives the rotating member 302 to rotate in a second direction opposite to the first direction. This drives the connecting shaft connected to the rotating member 302 to rotate, which in turn drives the connecting plate 304 to rotate, thereby closing the air inlet guide plate 104.

[0070] Alternatively, as Figure 4 As shown, the rotating member 302 includes a first connecting arm 3021, a second connecting arm 3022, and a third connecting arm 3023. One end of the first connecting arm 3021 is sleeved outside the rotating shaft 303; one end of the second connecting arm 3022 is rotatably connected to the telescopic end of the telescopic rod 301; and the third connecting arm 3023 is connected between the other ends of the first connecting arm 3021 and the other ends of the second connecting arm 3022. The first connecting arm 3021 is capable of rotating about the rotating shaft 303, and the second connecting arm 3022 is connected to the telescopic end of the telescopic rod 301 and the connecting shaft. This allows the rotating member 302 to rotate about the rotating shaft 303 when the telescopic rod 301 is extended or retracted.

[0071] Optionally, the first connecting arm 3021 and the second connecting arm 3022 extend toward both sides of the third connecting arm 3023, that is, the first connecting arm 3021 and the second connecting arm 3022 extend in opposite directions, which facilitates the arrangement of the telescopic rod 301 and the rotating shaft 303. Optionally, the rotating member 302 is Z-shaped.

[0072] Optionally, when the air inlet drive mechanism includes a connecting shaft, the connecting shaft and the telescopic end of the telescopic rod 301 are sequentially spaced apart along the extension direction of the second connecting arm 3022. In this way, the connecting shaft does not interfere with the pushing action of the telescopic rod 301 on the rotating member 302, and the rotating member 302 does not affect the connection between the connecting shaft and the connecting plate 304.

[0073] Optionally, the rotation shaft 303 is connected below the first connecting arm 3021, the telescopic rod 301 is connected above the second connecting arm 3022, and the first connecting arm 3021 is located above the second connecting arm 3022. When the telescopic rod 301 is in the retracted position, the telescopic rod 301 is located on one side of the third connecting arm 3023, and a gap exists between the third connecting arm 3023 and the telescopic rod 301.

[0074] In the disclosed embodiment, when the telescopic rod 301 is extended, the rotating member 302 rotates clockwise, creating a gap between the telescopic rod 301 and the third connecting arm 3023. This prevents the telescopic rod 301 from obstructing the rotation of the rotating member 302. Furthermore, when the rotating member 302 rotates to a certain angle, the telescopic rod 301 acts as a limiter for the third connecting arm 3023, preventing the rotating member 302 from rotating too far. This prevents the air inlet guide plate 104 from rotating too far, thereby protecting the air inlet guide plate 104.

[0075] Optionally, when the telescopic rod 301 is retracted, the telescopic rod 301 extends in the vertical direction, and the fixed end of the telescopic rod 301 is rotatably connected to the top wall 107 of the housing 10 .

[0076] In the disclosed embodiment, when the telescopic rod 301 is retracted, the air inlet guide plate 104 is closed and the telescopic rod 301 extends vertically, facilitating the placement of the telescopic rod 301. When the telescopic rod 301 is extended, the telescopic rod 301 can push the rotating member 302 to rotate, and the telescopic rod 301 also rotates to prevent it from getting stuck.

[0077] Optionally, there are multiple air inlet drive mechanisms, which are sequentially spaced apart along the length of the air inlet 101. In the disclosed embodiment, when the air inlet 101 is relatively long, one or more air inlet guide plates 104 may be provided. Multiple air inlet drive mechanisms may be provided corresponding to one or more air inlet guide plates 104, thereby improving the movement stability of the air inlet guide plates 104.

[0078] Optionally, there are multiple telescopic rods 301 , the number of rotating members 302 is the same as and corresponds to the number of telescopic rods 301 , and the multiple telescopic rods 301 are sequentially spaced along the length direction of the air inlet 101 .

[0079] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the rotating shaft 303 extends along the length direction of the shell 10. When the length of the air inlet 101 is longer, the length of the rotating shaft 303 is also longer. The multiple telescopic rods 301 are arranged in sequence along the length direction of the rotating shaft 303. Correspondingly, the multiple rotating parts 302 corresponding to the multiple telescopic rods 301 are also arranged in sequence along the length direction of the rotating shaft 303. In this way, the air inlet guide plate 104 connected to the multiple rotating parts 302 can move synchronously to improve the stability of the opening and closing of the air inlet guide plate 104.

[0080] Optionally, there are multiple connecting plates 304, which are sequentially spaced apart along the length of the air inlet guide plate 104. In the disclosed embodiment, multiple connecting plates 304 are provided to increase the connection area between the air inlet drive mechanism and the air inlet guide plate, thereby enabling synchronous movement even when the air inlet guide plate 104 is relatively long.

[0081] Optionally, the cross-sectional area of ​​the lower end of the connecting plate 304 is larger than the cross-sectional area of ​​the upper end of the connecting plate 304, so as to increase the connection area between the connecting plate 304 and the guide plate of the air inlet 101, thereby increasing the driving effect of the connecting plate 304 on the air inlet guide plate 104 and improving the movement stability of the air inlet guide plate 104.

[0082] Optionally, the lower end of the connecting plate 304 is connected to both sides of the axis of the air inlet guide plate 104 , so that the connecting plate 304 can simultaneously drive both sides of the axis of the air inlet guide plate 104 to move, thereby improving the rotation efficiency of the air inlet guide plate 104 .

[0083] Optionally, the air conditioner indoor unit further includes an air outlet adjustment device, which is movably arranged at the air outlet and is used to adjust the air outlet volume and / or air outlet direction of the air outlet to further improve the air outlet effect of the air conditioner.

[0084] In some optional embodiments, such as Figures 7 to 11 As shown, the air conditioner indoor unit further includes an air outlet guide 105 and an air outlet drive mechanism (hereinafter referred to as a first air outlet drive mechanism for ease of distinction). The air outlet guide 105 is movably mounted on the air outlet 102 for opening or closing the air outlet 102. The first air outlet drive mechanism 40 is drivably connected to the air outlet guide 105. The first air outlet drive mechanism 40 can drive the air outlet guide 105 to slide relative to the housing 10 between a first position and a second position. When the air outlet guide 105 is in the first position, the air outlet guide 105 is at least partially retracted within the accommodating cavity 103, thereby opening the air outlet 102. When the air outlet guide 105 is in the second position, the air outlet guide 105 covers the front side of the air outlet 102, thereby closing the air outlet 102. The air outlet adjustment device includes the air outlet guide 105.

[0085] In the disclosed embodiment, the air outlet guide plate 105 can open or close the air outlet 102. Thus, when the air conditioner is not in operation, the air outlet guide plate 105 can close the air outlet 102 to prevent dust from entering the air outlet 102 and affecting the air output of the air outlet 102. The air outlet guide plate 105 can slide between a first position and a second position under the drive of the first air outlet drive mechanism 4040. The sliding setting of the air outlet guide plate 105 requires less movement space than the rotating setting. Therefore, the air outlet guide plate 105 can be slid into the housing 10 and hidden. In this way, the air outlet guide plate 105 does not occupy the space of the air outlet 102, nor does it affect the air output of the air outlet 102. Moreover, the air outlet guide plate 105 is hidden and does not affect the appearance of the air conditioner.

[0086] Optionally, the air outlet guide plate 105 includes a connecting member, which is connected to the first air outlet drive mechanism 40, and the connecting member is provided with a sliding shaft. The air conditioner also includes a slide rail 402, which is provided in the accommodating cavity 103 and connected to the shell 10. The slide rail 402 is constructed with a sliding groove 403. The connecting member slides in the sliding groove 403, and the sliding groove 403 is inclined upward in a direction from front to rear. The first air outlet drive mechanism 40 drives the air outlet guide plate 105 to move along the sliding groove 403 so that the air outlet guide plate 105 moves between the first position and the second position.

[0087] In the disclosed embodiment, the air outlet guide plate 105 is drivably connected to the drive mechanism 803 via a connector. That is, the first air outlet drive mechanism 40 is capable of driving the air outlet guide plate 105 to move. The sliding shaft of the air outlet guide plate 105 is located within the slide rail 402, so that the slide rail 402 can guide and limit the movement of the air outlet guide plate 105. The sliding groove 403 is inclined upward from front to back. When the air outlet guide plate 105 moves from the second position toward the first position, the air outlet guide plate 105 moves from front to back and upward along the sliding groove 403, so that the air outlet guide plate 105 can be stored in the housing 10 and stored above the air outlet 102. When the air outlet guide plate 105 moves from the first position to the second position, the air outlet guide plate 105 moves from back to front and downward, so that the air outlet guide plate 105 blocks the air outlet 102, thereby closing the air outlet 102.

[0088] Alternatively, as Figure 9 As shown, the sliding groove 403 includes a straight groove 4031 and an arcuate groove 4032 . The arcuate groove 4032 is connected to the front side of the straight groove 4031 , and the opening of the arcuate groove 4032 faces upward.

[0089] In the disclosed embodiment, when the sliding shaft is within the linear slot 4031, the air guide plate 105 moves linearly, allowing the air guide plate 105 to be retracted into or extended from the accommodating cavity 103. When the sliding shaft moves into the arcuate slot 4032, the air guide plate 105 rotates, allowing the air guide plate 105 to completely cover the air outlet 102. The coordination between the linear slot 4031 and the arcuate slot 4032 enables the air guide plate 105 to achieve both linear motion and rotation.

[0090] Optionally, when the air outlet guide plate 105 is located in the first position, the sliding shaft is located in the linear groove 4031 ; when the air outlet guide plate 105 is located in the second position, the sliding shaft is located in the arc groove 4032 .

[0091] In the disclosed embodiment, the arcuate slot 4032 is located in front of the linear slot 4031. When the air guide plate 105 is in the first position, the air guide plate 105 is accommodated in the accommodating cavity 103. Therefore, the sliding shaft is located in the rear linear slot 4031. When the air guide plate 105 is in the second position, the sliding shaft moves from the rear to the front into the arcuate slot 4032, not only pushing the air guide plate 105 forward, but also using the arcuate slot 4032 to rotate the air guide plate 105 so that the air guide plate 105 can cover the air outlet 102.

[0092] Optionally, the connecting member is connected between the air outlet guide plate 105 and the sliding shaft, and the connecting member includes a first connecting rib 4041 and a second connecting rib 4042, one end of the first connecting rib 4041 is connected to the air outlet guide plate 105, and the extension direction of the first connecting rib 4041 has a first angle with the air outlet guide plate 105; one end of the second connecting rib 4042 is connected to the other end of the first connecting rib 4041, and there is a second angle between the second connecting rib 4042 and the first connecting rib 4041; wherein, the second connecting rib 4042 is provided with a sliding shaft.

[0093] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the connecting member is connected between the air outlet guide plate 105 and the sliding shaft so that the air outlet guide plate 105 can move along the sliding groove 403. There is a first angle between the first connecting rib 4041 and the air outlet guide plate 105, and there is a second angle between the second connecting rib 4042 and the first connecting rib 4041. In this way, the sliding groove 403 set in the second connecting rib 4042 cooperates, so that when the sliding shaft moves, the air outlet guide plate 105 can be driven to move through the connecting rib 404.

[0094] Optionally, the first connecting rib 4041 is perpendicular to the air outlet guide plate 105, which facilitates the production and installation of the first connecting rib 4041. Optionally, the second connecting rib 4042 is perpendicular to the first connecting rib 4041, which facilitates the production and installation of the second connecting rib 4042.

[0095] Optionally, when the air outlet guide plate 105 is in the second position, the connecting member is connected to the middle or upper portion of the air outlet guide plate 105. In the embodiment of the present disclosure, when the air outlet guide plate 105 moves from the second position toward the first position, the air outlet guide plate 105 moves upward as a whole, and the connecting member is connected to the middle or upper portion of the air outlet guide plate 105. In this way, the sliding shaft is also located in the middle or upper portion of the air outlet guide plate 105. In this way, the slide rail 402 and the first air outlet drive mechanism 40 do not need to be set too low, which can prevent the slide rail 402 and the first air outlet drive mechanism 40 from occupying the area of ​​the air outlet 102 and affecting the air output.

[0096] Optionally, when the air outlet guide plate 105 is in the second position, the second connecting rib 4042 extends upward from the first connecting rib 4041, and the sliding shaft is arranged at the upper end of the second connecting rib 4042. This can reduce the movement distance of the sliding shaft, maximize the position of the slide rail 402 and the first air outlet drive mechanism 40, and reduce the impact on the air outlet 102 and the air output.

[0097] Optionally, the connecting piece is embedded in the air outlet guide plate 105 to improve the connection stability between the connecting piece and the air outlet guide plate 105 .

[0098] Optionally, the connector further includes a third connecting rib connected to one end of the first connecting rib 4041, and extending in a direction opposite to that of the second connecting rib 4042. The third connecting rib is embedded in the air outlet guide plate 105. The third connecting rib increases the connection area between the connector and the air outlet guide plate 105, thereby improving the connection stability.

[0099] Optionally, when the air outlet guide plate 105 is in the second position, the connecting piece is connected to the wall surface of the air outlet guide plate 105 facing the air outlet 102. Specifically, the wall surface of the air outlet guide plate 105 facing the air outlet 102 is constructed with an installation groove, and the third connecting rib is embedded in the installation groove so that the outer wall surface 1061 of the third connecting rib is flush with the wall surface of the air outlet guide plate 105 facing the air outlet 102. This will not increase the size of the air outlet guide plate 105 and avoid the third connecting rib from interfering with other components during movement.

[0100] Optionally, the first air outlet drive mechanism 40 includes a first motor 405, a transmission gear 4051 and a first rack 4052, and the first air outlet drive mechanism 40 is located in the accommodating cavity 103; the transmission gear 4051 is connected to the output shaft of the first motor 405; the first rack 4052 is engaged with the transmission gear 4051; wherein, the first rack 4052 is connected to the sliding shaft to drive the air outlet guide plate 105 to move along the sliding groove 403.

[0101] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first motor 405 can directly or indirectly drive the transmission gear 4051 to rotate, and the first rack 4052 is engaged with the transmission gear 4051, so that when the transmission gear 4051 rotates, the first rack 4052 moves, and the first rack 4052 is connected to the sliding shaft, and the first rack 4052 drives the sliding shaft to move along the sliding groove 403.

[0102] Optionally, the extending direction of the first rack 4052 is the same as the extending direction of the sliding groove 403 , so that the first rack 4052 can be connected to the sliding shaft and drive the sliding shaft to slide along the sliding groove 403 .

[0103] Optionally, the sliding shaft and the first rack 4052 are respectively located on both sides of the sliding groove 403.

[0105] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, when the first motor 405 is working, the output shaft of the first motor 405 rotates, the output shaft drives the first driving gear 4053 to rotate, the first driving gear 4053 then drives the transmission gear 4051 to rotate, and the transmission gear 4051 drives the first rack 4052 to move, thereby realizing the movement of the sliding shaft.

[0106] Optionally, when there are multiple slide rails 402, the multiple slide rails 402 are sequentially spaced along the length of the air outlet guide plate 105, wherein the number of sliding shafts, first racks 4052, and transmission gears 4051 is the same as the number of slide rails 402 and corresponds one to one. When the air inlet guide plate 104 is long, multiple slide rails 402 are provided along the length of the air inlet guide plate 104, and multiple transmission gears 4051, first racks 4052, and sliding shafts are correspondingly provided. This can improve the stability of the movement of the air outlet guide plate 105 and prevent the air outlet guide plate 105 from getting stuck.

[0107] In some optional embodiments, the transmission gear 4051 is engaged with the first driving gear 4053 , and the first motor 405 drives the sliding shaft to move by driving the first driving gear 4053 and the transmission gear 4051 .

Specifically, when the first motor 405 is working, the output shaft of the first motor 405 rotates, and the output shaft of the first motor 405 is connected to the first driving gear 4053. The first motor 405 drives the first driving gear 4053 to rotate. The rotation of the first driving gear 4053 drives the driven gear 4054 meshing with the first driving gear 4053 to rotate. The driven gear 4054 is connected to the rotating rod 4055. The driven gear 4054 then drives the transmission gear 4051 to rotate through the rotating rod 4055. The transmission gear 4051 drives the first rack 4052 and the sliding shaft to move. Through the setting of the first driving gear 4053, the driven gear 4054 and the rotating rod 4055, when a plurality of sliding grooves 403 and a plurality of transmission gears 4051 are correspondingly set for an air outlet guide plate 105, only a first motor 405 and a rotating rod need to be set to drive the plurality of transmission gears 4051 to rotate, thereby making the multiple positions of the air outlet guide plate 105 move synchronously, so as to improve the movement stability of the air outlet guide plate 105.

[0110] Optionally, the air conditioner indoor unit further includes a rack housing, which, together with the slide rail 402, encloses a housing cavity. The slide rail 402 is provided with a sliding groove 403 extending through the thickness of the slide rail 402 and communicating with the housing cavity. The first rack 4052 is located within the housing cavity. This housing cavity prevents the first rack 4052 from deviating from the sliding groove 403 and protects the first rack 4052.

[0111] Optionally, the transmission gear 4051 is located below the rack housing, and a notch is provided below the rack housing. The transmission gear 4051 can be inserted into the notch and mesh with the first rack 4052 in the accommodating cavity through the notch.

[0114] In the disclosed embodiment, when the air outlet 102 is long or there are a large number of them, multiple air outlet guides 105 can be provided. The provision of multiple air outlet guides 105 can adjust the air outlet area and air outlet direction of the air conditioner, thereby meeting the user's various usage needs. Specifically, when there are multiple air outlet guides 105, a rotating rod 4055 is connected to the transmission gears 4051 corresponding to the multiple air outlet guides 105. Each rotating rod 4055 is provided with a first motor 405, a first driving gear 4053, and a driven gear 4054. In this way, the multiple air outlet guides 105 can be driven by the first motor 405 to move, thereby opening or closing the air outlet 102.

[0115] In other optional embodiments, when there are multiple air outlet guide plates 105 , the air conditioner indoor unit includes multiple first motors 405 , and the number of the first motors 405 is the same as the number of the air outlet guide plates 105 and corresponds one to one.

[0116] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the movement of each air outlet guide plate 105 is controlled by a first motor 405, so that the opening and closing of multiple air outlet guide plates 105 are not synchronized. During use, the opening and closing of each air outlet guide plate 105 can be controlled according to the user's position and temperature to form a variety of air outlet forms, thereby improving the user experience.

[0117] Optionally, a slide rail 402 is provided at both ends of an air outlet guide plate 105 along the length direction, and the number of connecting members, first racks 4052 and transmission gears 4051 is the same as the number of the slide rails 402 and corresponds one to one.

[0118] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, slide rails 402 are provided on both sides of the length direction of an air outlet guide plate 105. Correspondingly, transmission gears 4051, first racks 4052 and connecting parts are also provided at both ends of an air outlet guide plate 105. In this way, both ends of the length direction of an air outlet guide plate 105 can move along the slide rails 402, so that the movement of the air outlet guide plate 105 is stable and the air outlet guide plate 105 is prevented from bending during movement.

[0119] Optionally, the front sidewall 108 of the housing 10 includes a partition, which is located above the air outlet 102. When the air outlet guide 105 is in the first position, the air outlet guide 105 is located behind the partition. When the air outlet guide 105 is in the second position, the width direction of the air outlet guide 105 extends vertically and the air outlet guide 105 is located below the partition.

[0120] Optionally, the partition is tilted downward from the back to the front, so that when the air outlet guide plate 105 moves to the first position, the partition can leave enough space for placing the air outlet guide plate 105, thereby avoiding interference between the air outlet guide plate 105 and the shell 10.

[0121] In other optional embodiments, such as Figures 12 to 16 As shown, the air conditioner indoor unit further includes an air outlet 109, which is rotatably disposed at the air outlet 102. The air outlet 109 defines a plurality of air outlet areas. When the air outlet 109 rotates at the air outlet 102, the air outlet 102 can be connected to different air outlet areas, so that the air flow from the air outlet 102 is discharged from different air outlet areas, which is used to adjust the air outlet direction and air volume of the air outlet 102. The air outlet adjustment device includes the air outlet 109.

[0122] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the air outlet tube 109 is rotatably arranged at the air outlet 102, so that different air outlet areas of the air outlet tube 109 can be connected to the air outlet 102 respectively. In this way, when the airflow of the air outlet 102 is discharged from different air outlet areas, multiple air outlet forms can be realized, thereby improving the air outlet mode of the air conditioner and thereby improving the user experience.

[0123] Optionally, the cross-section of the air outlet 109 is arc-shaped, with the arc-shaped opening facing the air outlet 102. Multiple air outlet areas are arranged in sequence along the circumference of the air outlet 109. The air outlet 109 can rotate around its axis. An air guide channel is defined inside the air outlet 109, and the air guide channel connects the air outlet 102 and the air outlet areas. In this way, the air outlet 109 has an air inlet port, so that the air guide channel inside the air outlet 109 is connected to the air outlet 102 through the air outlet port. In this way, the air flow in the accommodating cavity 103 flows to the air outlet 102 under the drive of the fan 202, and then flows into the guide channel through the air outlet port. The air flow in the guide channel then flows into the corresponding air outlet area to achieve different air outlet effects. Among them, multiple air outlet areas are arranged in sequence along the circumference of the air outlet 109. In this way, when the air outlet 109 rotates around the axis of the air outlet 109, different air outlet areas can be connected to the air outlet 102 to achieve different air outlet effects.

[0124] Optionally, the cross section of the air outlet 109 is semicircular, so that the arc surface of the air outlet 109 has sufficient space to set up the air outlet area. In other words, the air outlet 109 is in an arc shape, so that when the air outlet 109 rotates around its axis, the rotation space of the air outlet 109 does not increase, reducing the installation space of the air outlet 109 and preventing air leakage.

[0125] Optionally, the arc lengths of the plurality of air outlet areas are the same. Thus, when the area of ​​the air outlet 102 is constant, when each air outlet area is connected to the air outlet 102 , the air volume of each air outlet area can be guaranteed without causing waste of the air outlet area.

[0126] Optionally, when each air outlet area rotates to the air outlet 102 and is connected to the air outlet 102, the projection of each air outlet area at the air outlet 102 from front to back is equal to that of the air outlet 102 (the area and shape are the same or similar), so that each air outlet area can be ensured to have the maximum air output when it rotates to the air outlet 102.

[0127] Optionally, the number of air outlet areas may be two, three, four or more. In actual applications, the number of air outlet areas may be set according to usage requirements.

[0128] Optionally, the multiple air outlet areas include a first air outlet area 1091 and a second air outlet area 1092, the first air outlet area 1091 is provided with a first air outlet grille 1094; the second air outlet area 1092 is provided with a second air outlet grille 1095; wherein, when the air outlet cylinder 109 rotates to the first air outlet position, the first air outlet area 1091 is connected to the air outlet 102, and the first air outlet grille 1094 is tilted upward from the back to the front; when the air outlet cylinder 109 rotates to the second air outlet position, the second air outlet area 1092 is connected to the air outlet 102, and the second air outlet grille 1095 is tilted downward from the back to the front.

[0129] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, Figure 15 As shown, when the air outlet 109 rotates to the first air outlet position, the first air outlet area 1091 is connected to the air outlet 102, and the first air outlet grille 1094 is tilted upward. In this way, when the air conditioner is cooling, the air outlet 109 can be controlled to rotate to the first air outlet position, and the air outlet 102 discharges air upward, thereby improving the indoor cooling speed and temperature uniformity. Figure 14 As shown, when the air outlet tube 109 rotates to the second air outlet position, the second air outlet area 1092 is connected to the air outlet 102, and the second air outlet grille 1095 is tilted downward. In this way, when the air conditioner is heating, the air outlet 102 can discharge air downward, and the blown hot air flow moves upward to provide indoor heating speed and heating uniformity.

[0130] Optionally, the multiple air outlet areas also include a third air outlet area 1093, which is provided with multiple micropores. The third air outlet area 1093 is located between the first air outlet area 1091 and the second air outlet area 1092; wherein, when the air outlet tube 109 rotates to the third air outlet position, the third air outlet area 1093 is connected to the air outlet 102.

[0131] In the disclosed embodiment, when the air outlet tube 109 is rotated to the third outlet position, the micropores are connected to the air outlet 102. The micropores make the airflow more uniform and improve the airflow comfort. Optionally, multiple micropores are arranged in an array in the third outlet area 1093 to improve the airflow uniformity in the third outlet area 1093.

[0132] Optionally, the third air outlet area 1093 is located between the first air outlet area 1091 and the second air outlet area 1092. In this way, when the air outlet tube 109 rotates between the first air outlet position and the second air outlet position, the third air outlet area 1093 can buffer the airflow and discharge air directly in front of the air outlet 102 through the micropores, thereby increasing the air volume directly in front and improving the temperature control speed and temperature control uniformity.

[0133] Optionally, the gap between adjacent air outlet areas is less than a preset distance, and the projection of the preset distance from front to back on the air inlet is less than or equal to the height of the air outlet 102. This ensures that there is always airflow when the air outlet tube 109 rotates, thereby avoiding the interruption of air outlet when the air outlet tube 109 rotates, affecting the user experience.

[0134] Optionally, the plurality of air outlet areas may further include air outlet grilles for outlet air to the left or right to adjust the air outlet volume of the air conditioner in the left and right directions. In actual use, the air outlet direction and air outlet volume of the air outlet area may be set according to actual conditions.

[0135] Optionally, the air outlet directions of an air outlet area are different, so when the air outlet area is connected to the air outlet 102, the air outlet directions can be increased, thereby improving the user experience.

[0136] For example, the air outlet area includes a sixth air outlet area, and the sixth air outlet area is provided with a third grille and a fourth grille. When the sixth air outlet area is connected to the air outlet 102, the third grille discharges air upwards, and the fourth grille discharges air downwards.

[0137] Optionally, when the sixth air outlet area is connected to the air outlet 102, the third grille and the fourth grille are arranged in a direction from top to bottom, which can expand the air outlet area and form a wide-angle air outlet.

[0138] Optionally, when the sixth air outlet area is connected to the air outlet 102, the third grille and the fourth grille are arranged in a direction from bottom to top, so that concentrated air can be formed to increase the air outlet volume and temperature adjustment speed.

[0139] Optionally, the air conditioner further includes an air outlet drive mechanism (hereinafter referred to as a second air outlet drive mechanism for ease of distinction), which is drivably connected to the air outlet duct 109 and is configured to drive the air outlet duct 109 to rotate. In this way, the air outlet duct 109 is driven to rotate by the second air outlet drive mechanism, thereby achieving automatic switching of the air outlet duct 109 and improving the user experience.

[0140] Alternatively, as Figure 16As shown, the second air outlet drive mechanism includes a second motor 601, a second driving gear 602 and a driven gear 4054. The second driving gear 602 is connected to the output end of the second motor 601; the driven gear 4054 is engaged with the second driving gear 602 and is connected to the air outlet cylinder 109; wherein, the second motor 601 drives the second driving gear 602 and the driven gear 4054 to rotate, and the driven gear 4054 drives the air outlet cylinder 109 to rotate.

[0141] In the disclosed embodiment, the output end of the second motor 601 is connected to the second driving gear 602. The second motor 601 first drives the second driving gear 602 to rotate, and the second driving gear 602 then drives the driven gear 4054 to rotate. The driven gear 4054 is connected to the air outlet 109. In this way, the air outlet 109 can be driven to rotate about its axis by the second motor 601, the second driving gear 602, and the driven gear 4054. Specifically, the second air outlet drive mechanism can drive the air outlet 109 to rotate between the first air outlet position, the third air outlet position, and the second air outlet position.

[0142] Optionally, there are multiple driven gears 4054, including a first driven gear 603 and a second driven gear 604. The first driven gear 603 is connected to the air outlet 109; the second driven gear 604 is located between the second driving gear 602 and the first driven gear 603, and the second driven gear 604 is meshed with both the first driven gear 603 and the second driving gear 602. By providing multiple driven gears 4054, the first driven gear 603 can be matched with the position of the air outlet 109, thereby facilitating the installation and rotation of the air outlet 109.

[0143] Optionally, the air outlet 109 includes a cylinder 1096, an end plate 1097 and a connecting rib 1098, and the cylinder 1096 is constructed with multiple air outlet areas; the end plate 1097 is located at the end of the cylinder 1096 and is provided with a rotating shaft 1099, and the rotating shaft 1099 is connected to the first driven gear 603; the connecting rib 1098 is connected between the cylinder 1096 and the end plate 1097.

[0144] In the disclosed embodiment, the body 1096 of the air outlet 109 is arc-shaped and is used to set up multiple air outlet areas. An end plate 1097 is provided at the end of the body 1096. The end plate 1097 is used to set up a rotating shaft 1099, so that the rotating shaft 1099 can be connected to the first driven gear 603, so that the first driven gear 603 drives the body 1096 to rotate via the rotating shaft 1099. A connecting rib 1098 is connected between the end plate 1097 and the body 1096. In this way, the size of the end plate 1097 does not need to be large, which can reduce the weight of the end plate 1097 and the weight of the air outlet 109, thereby reducing the weight of the air outlet 109, thereby facilitating the second air outlet drive mechanism to drive the air outlet 109 to rotate, thereby reducing the energy consumption of the second air outlet drive mechanism.

[0145] Specifically, a rotating hole is provided in the middle of the first driven gear 603 , and a rotating shaft 1099 protrudes from a side of the end plate 1097 away from the backflow channel. The rotating shaft 1099 is inserted into the rotating hole and can rotate in the rotating hole.

[0146] Optionally, the axis of the rotating shaft 1099 is in the same straight line as the axis of the air outlet 109, so that the air outlet 109 can rotate around the axis of the air outlet 109. The air outlet 109 will not be offset when rotating, and will not take up additional space, thereby reducing the installation space occupied by the air outlet 109.

[0147] Optionally, there are multiple connecting ribs 1098, which are sequentially spaced along the circumference of the end plate 1097 between the outer side of the end plate 1097 and the inner side wall of the cylinder 1096. This can improve the connection strength between the end plate 1097 and the cylinder 1096, and prevent the cylinder 1096 and end plate 1097 from separating and affecting the rotation of the air outlet duct 109.

[0148] Optionally, the second driving gear 602, the second driven gear 604, and the first driven gear 603 are arranged in sequence from back to front. This can reduce the space occupied by the second air outlet drive mechanism in other directions, and also facilitates the meshing of the second driving gear 602, the second driven gear 604, and the first driven gear 603, thereby improving assembly convenience and transmission stability. It should be noted that the number of driven gears 4054 can also be one, three, or other numbers. In actual use, the number of driven gears 4054 can be set according to the distance between the second motor 601 and the second driving gear 602 and the air outlet 109. The number and position of the setting that can drive the air outlet 109 to rotate are all optional embodiments of the present application.

[0149] Optionally, each air outlet 109 has two end plates 1097, which are respectively located at the two ends of the length direction of the air outlet 109, and each end plate 1097 is correspondingly provided with a connecting rib 1098. The two end plates 1097 include a first end plate and a second end plate, the first end plate is provided with a first rotating shaft, and the second end plate is provided with a second rotating shaft. The first rotating shaft is driven and connected to the second driving gear 602 and the second motor 601 through the driven gear 4054, and the second rotating shaft is connected to the rotating gear 702. In other words, one end of the air outlet 109 is provided with the second motor 601 and the second driving gear 602, and the other end does not need to be provided with the second motor 601 and the second driving gear 602. This can ensure the rotation consistency and stability of the air outlet 109 and can reduce costs.

[0150] Optionally, the housing 10 includes a housing body and an air outlet housing 110, wherein the housing body defines a housing cavity 103 having an air outlet port; the air outlet housing 110 is located at the air outlet port and defines an air outlet 102, and the air outlet 102 matches the air outlet area; wherein the air outlet cylinder 109 is rotatably disposed within the air outlet housing 110, and when one of the multiple air outlet areas is connected to the air outlet 102, the other air outlet areas of the multiple air outlet areas are located within the air outlet housing 110, so that the air outlet housing 110 closes the other air outlet areas. In this way, when one air outlet area is rotated to connect to the air outlet 102, the other air outlet areas are blocked by the air outlet housing 110, so that the other air outlet housings 110 do not discharge air.

[0151] Optionally, the air outlet shell 110 matches the air outlet tube 109 , that is, the shape and size of the air outlet shell 110 are the same or similar to those of the air outlet tube 109 , so that the air outlet shell 110 can control the air outlet volume of the air outlet tube 109 without hindering the air intake volume of the air outlet tube 109 .

[0152] Optionally, the second air outlet drive mechanism is located outside the air outlet housing 110. Specifically, the driven gear 4054 is located outside one end of the air outlet housing 110 in the longitudinal direction, and the rotating shaft 1099 passes through the air outlet housing 110 and is inserted into the rotating hole of the driven gear 4054. This facilitates maintenance and replacement of the second air outlet drive mechanism without disassembling the air outlet housing 110, and can improve the sealing performance of the air outlet housing 110 against the air outlet cylinder 109, thereby preventing air leakage from the air outlet housing 110.

[0153] Optionally, when there are multiple air outlets 102, the number of air outlet cylinders 109 is less than or equal to the number of air outlets 102. Specifically, each air outlet 102 can be provided with an air outlet cylinder 109, or partially provided with an air outlet cylinder 109, which can further improve the air outlet mode of the air conditioner.

[0154] Optionally, the air conditioner indoor unit further includes an end cover, which is located at the end of the air outlet cylinder 109 in the length direction, and the end cover is arranged on the outside of the second air outlet drive mechanism to protect the second air outlet drive mechanism.

[0155] Optionally, the air outlet housing 110 includes a cover plate, which is movably located at the air outlet 102. When the air conditioner is not working, the cover plate can be arranged on the outside of the air outlet cylinder 109 to prevent external dust from entering the air outlet cylinder 109.

[0156] Optionally, the shielding plate has a driving member that can drive the shielding plate to move to adjust the opening area of ​​the air outlet 102. In this way, the air outlet area of ​​the air outlet cylinder 109 can be further adjusted by the shielding plate, thereby improving the air outlet flexibility.

[0157] Optionally, the arc lengths of the multiple air outlet areas are different, and the multiple air outlet areas include a fourth air outlet area and a fifth air outlet area. The arc length of the fourth air outlet area is greater than that of the fifth air outlet area. When the fourth air outlet area rotates to the air outlet 102 and connects with the air outlet 102, the shielding plate moves to the fourth position; when the fifth air outlet area rotates to the air outlet 102 and connects with the air outlet 102, the shielding plate moves to the fifth position. When the shielding plate is in the fourth position, the area of ​​the air outlet 102 is greater than the area of ​​the air outlet 102 when the shielding plate is in the fifth position. In this way, the air volume can be further adjusted by the shielding plate when the area of ​​the air outlet 102 is constant.

[0158] It should be noted that the fourth air outlet area and the fifth air outlet area can be the first air outlet area 1091, the second air outlet area 1092 and the third air outlet area 1093 mentioned above, or can be other air outlet areas.

[0159] Optionally, the covering plate is arc-shaped, and the covering plate is movably located above the air outlet 102 and / or below the air outlet 102 to improve the flexibility of air outlet adjustment.

[0160] Optionally, the air conditioner further includes a controller electrically connected to the second air outlet drive mechanism, the controller being configured to control the operation of the second air outlet drive mechanism to adjust the rotation of the air outlet duct. Optionally, when the air conditioner operates in a rapid cooling or rapid heating mode, the controller is configured to control the air outlet duct to move sequentially between a first air outlet position, a third air outlet position, and a second air outlet position, thereby enabling the air conditioner to discharge air in multiple directions and increasing the cooling rate.

[0161] Optionally, the first air outlet is connected to the first space and is used to adjust the temperature of the first space. The second air outlet is connected to the second space and is used to adjust the temperature of the second space. The air conditioner also includes a detection device for obtaining occupant information and air parameters in the first and second spaces. The controller is configured to control the rotation of the first and second air outlets based on the occupant information and air parameters in the first and second spaces.

[0162] Optionally, when the number of people in the first space is greater than the number of people in the second space, or the difference between the temperature in the first space and a preset temperature is greater than the difference between the temperature in the second space and a preset temperature, the controller is configured to control the first air outlet to rotate and discharge air, and control the cover corresponding to the second air outlet to close or reduce the air outlet area of ​​the second air outlet, thereby reducing the air volume of the second air outlet and increasing the air volume of the first air outlet. For example, the first space can be a living room and the second space can be a kitchen. Alternatively, the first space can be a kitchen and the second space can be a bedroom, etc.

[0163] In other optional embodiments, such as Figures 17 to 19 As shown, the air conditioner indoor unit includes a housing 10 and a first air guide plate 106. The first air guide plate 106 is movably positioned at the air outlet 102 and is used to adjust the air outlet direction and air volume of the air outlet 102. The outer wall 1061 of the first air guide plate 106 is an arc-shaped surface, so that the air outlet of the air outlet 102 can flow along the outer wall 1061 of the first air guide plate 106. The air outlet adjustment device includes the first air guide plate 106.

[0164] In the disclosed embodiment, the first air guide plate 106 is movably positioned at the air outlet 102. When the first air guide plate 106 moves, the first air guide plate 106 can change the air outlet direction of the air outlet 102, thereby adjusting the air outlet direction and air volume. The outer wall surface 1061 of the first air guide plate 106 is an arc-shaped surface. When the airflow from the air outlet 102 flows through the first air guide plate 106, the arc-shaped surface can form a Coanda effect on the airflow. The airflow will change its original path and flow along the outer wall surface 1061 of the first air guide plate 106. In this way, the first air guide plate 106 can not only adjust the air volume and air outlet direction, but also extend the guiding path of the airflow, increase the air supply distance, and improve the guiding effect of the first air guide plate 106 on the airflow of the air outlet 102, thereby improving the user experience.

[0165] The Coanda effect, also known as the wall adhesion or Coanda effect, is a fluid mechanics phenomenon, which means that when a fluid (such as water flow or air flow) encounters a protruding surface, it will change its original flow direction and flow along the surface of the object.

[0166] Optionally, the opening of the curved surface faces the accommodating cavity 103, and the first air guide plate 106 can rotate between a first air guiding position and a second air guiding position. When the first air guide plate 106 is in the first air guiding position, the lower end of the curved surface protrudes from the front side of the upper end of the curved surface to guide the airflow of the air outlet 102 to flow downward along the curved surface; when the first air guide plate 106 is in the second air guiding position, the upper end of the curved surface protrudes from the front side of the lower end of the curved surface to guide the airflow of the air outlet 102 to flow upward along the curved surface.

[0167] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the opening of the arcuate surface faces the accommodating cavity 103, that is, the arcuate surface protrudes in a direction away from the accommodating cavity 103. Figure 18 As shown, when the first air guide plate 106 rotates to the first air guiding position, the lower end of the arc surface protrudes from the front side of the upper end of the arc surface. It can be understood that the first air guide plate 106 is tilted downward from the back to the front at this time, and the opening of the arc surface is facing the lower part of the accommodating cavity 103. In this way, the airflow of the air outlet 102 can not only be discharged downward under the action of the first air guide plate 106, but also flow along the outer wall surface 1061 of the first air guide plate 106, so that the angle between the airflow and the vertical direction is smaller, thereby allowing the airflow to flow further downward. When the air conditioner is heating, the airflow can fully flow to the lower part of the room to improve the heating range and heating uniformity. Figure 19 As shown, when the first air guide plate 106 rotates to the second air guiding position, the upper end of the arcuate surface protrudes from the front side of the lower end of the arcuate surface. That is, the arcuate surface is tilted upward from the back to the front. In this way, the airflow from the air outlet 102 can not only be discharged upward under the action of the first air guide plate 106, but also flow along the arcuate surface under the Coanda effect. This makes the angle between the airflow out of the air outlet 102 and the vertical direction smaller, that is, the airflow is closer to the front side wall 108 of the housing 10, so that the airflow out of the air conditioner flows farther. When the air conditioner is cooling, the air guide plate moves to the second air guiding position, which can increase the flow distance of the cold airflow, improve the cooling effect and cooling range.

[0168] Optionally, the first air guide plate 106 can also be rotated to a closed position. When the first air guide plate 106 is in the closed position, the upper end and the lower end of the first air guide plate 106 are flush with each other to close the air outlet 102.

[0169] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, when the air conditioner does not need to discharge air, the first air guide plate 106 can be rotated to a closed position, so that the first air guide plate 106 can close the air outlet 102 to prevent external dust from entering the air outlet 102.

[0170] Optionally, there are multiple first air guide plates 106, and the multiple first air guide plates 106 are sequentially arranged along the height direction of the air outlet 102. The air outlet 102 is provided with multiple first air guide plates 106. Thus, the width of each first air guide plate 106 is relatively small. When the air outlet 102 needs to discharge air, the rotation angle of each first air guide plate 106 does not need to be excessively large to meet the air output volume. Furthermore, the relatively small width of the first air guide plates 106 reduces the distance that the airflow from the air outlet 102 flows along the first air guide plates 106. This can prevent the first air guide plates 106 from being too wide, which would cause the direction of the airflow flowing downward along the first air guide plates 106 to have too small an angle with the vertical direction, thereby affecting the air output range.

[0171] Optionally, the air conditioner indoor unit further includes an air outlet drive mechanism (hereinafter referred to as a third air outlet drive mechanism for ease of distinction). The third air outlet drive mechanism is drivably connected to the first air guide plate 106 and is configured to drive the first air guide plate 106 to move between a first air guide position and a second air guide position. This allows the first air guide plate 106 to automatically move, improving the user experience. It should be noted that the first air guide plate 106 can also be manually pushed to move between the first air guide position, the closed position, and the second air guide position.

[0172] Alternatively, as Figure 19 As shown, the third air outlet drive mechanism includes a third motor 701, a gear 702, and a second rack 703. The gear 702 is drivingly connected to the output shaft of the third motor 701; the second rack 703 is meshed with the gear 702, and the second rack 703 is rotationally connected to the first air deflector 106. The third motor 701 drives the gear 702 and the second rack 703 to move, so that the second rack 703 drives the first air deflector 106 to move between the first air deflection position and the second air deflection position. In this way, the third motor 701 drives the gear 702 to rotate, the gear 702 drives the second rack 703 to move, and the second rack 703 is rotationally connected to the first air deflector 106. When the second rack 703 moves, the second rack 703 can drive the first air deflector 106 to rotate, thereby enabling the first air deflector 106 to switch between the first air deflection position and the second air deflection position.

[0173] Optionally, the third air outlet driving mechanism further includes a rotating rod 704 , one end of the rotating rod 704 is rotatably connected to one end of the first air guide plate 106 , and the other end of the rotating rod 704 is rotatably connected to the second rack 703 .

[0174] In the disclosed embodiment, the second rack 703 extends vertically and is connected to the first air deflector 106 via a rotating rod 704. One end of the rotating rod 704 is rotatably connected to the side of the second rack 703 facing away from the gear 702, and the other end of the rotating rod 704 is connected to the middle portion of the first air deflector 106. Thus, when the second rack 703 moves upward, one end of the rotating rod 704 moves upward, and the rotating rod 704 rotates counterclockwise, so that the other end of the rotating rod 704 moves downward, thereby driving the first air deflector 106 to rotate counterclockwise, thereby moving the first air deflector 106 toward the second air deflecting position. When the second rack 703 moves downward, one end of the rotating rod 704 moves downward, and the rotating rod 704 rotates clockwise, thereby moving the other end of the rotating rod 704 upward, thereby rotating the first air deflector 106 clockwise, thereby moving the first air deflector 106 toward the first air deflecting position.

[0175] Optionally, there are one or more gears 702. When there are multiple gears 702, the multiple gears 702 include a driving gear and a driven gear, the driving gear being connected to the output shaft of the third motor 701, the driven gear being meshed with the driving gear, and the driven gear being meshed with the second rack 703. In this way, the number of gears 702 can be set according to the positions of the third motor 701 and the first air deflector 106, thereby improving the flexibility and convenience of the installation position of the third air outlet drive mechanism.

[0176] Optionally, the second rack 703 is located at at least one end of the first air deflector 106 in the longitudinal direction, and the second rack 703 extends along the height direction of the air outlet 102. The other end of the rotating rod 704 is connected to the end of the first air deflector 106 in the longitudinal direction. In this way, the third motor 701, gear 702, and rotating rod 704 can all be located at one end of the first air deflector 106, which also facilitates the connection between the rotating rod 704 and the end of the first air deflector 106, thereby enabling the rotating rod 704 to drive the first air deflector 106.

[0177] Optionally, when there are multiple first air guide plates 106, all of the multiple first air guide plates 106 are rotatably connected to the second rack 703. In this way, the synchronous movement of the multiple first air guide plates 106 can be achieved through one second rack 703, thereby improving the movement efficiency of the first air guide plates 106.

[0178] Optionally, the length of the first air guide plate 106 extends along the length of the air outlet 102, which can improve the guiding effect of the first air guide plate 106 on the airflow of the air outlet 102. Preferably, the length of the first air guide plate 106 matches the length of the air outlet 102, so that only one first air guide plate 106 is provided along the length of the air outlet 102, without the need to install multiple first air guide plates 106.

[0179] Optionally, there are multiple third air outlet drive mechanisms, and two of the multiple third air outlet drive mechanisms are located at both ends of the first air guide plate 106 in the length direction to improve the movement stability of the first air guide plate 106.

[0180] Optionally, the inner wall surface of the first air guide plate 106 is a plane, and the inner wall surface is connected to the outer wall surface 1061. In this way, when the first air guide plate 106 moves to the first air guide position or the second air guide position, the adjacent first air guide plates 106 form an air outlet channel, one side of the air outlet channel is an arc-shaped surface, and the other side of the air outlet channel is a plane. In this way, the airflow in the air outlet channel can move along the arc-shaped surface, thereby increasing the air supply distance.

[0181] Optionally, when the first air guide plates 106 rotate to the closed position, adjacent first air guide plates 106 abut against each other to close the air outlet 102. Preferably, when the first air guide plates 106 rotate to the closed position, the first air guide plates 106 extend in the vertical direction so that the first air guide plates 106 can close the air outlet 102 with the maximum area.

[0182] Alternatively, as Figure 20 and Figure 28 As shown, the air conditioner indoor unit also includes a second air guide plate 1062, a first telescopic rod 702, and a second telescopic rod 703. The first telescopic rod 702 is connected to the upper end of the second air guide plate 1062; the second telescopic rod 703 is connected to the lower end of the second air guide plate 1062. When the second air guide plate 1062 is in the fourth position, the first telescopic rod 702 is extended and the second telescopic rod 703 is retracted, causing the second air guide plate 1062 to tilt upward from back to front, directing air out of the air outlet 102 upward. When the second air guide plate 1062 is in the fifth position, the first telescopic rod 702 is retracted and the second telescopic rod 703 is extended, causing the second air guide plate 1062 to tilt downward from back to front, directing air out of the air outlet 102 downward. The air outlet adjustment device includes the second air guide plate 1062.

[0183] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, when the second air guide plate 1062 is in the fourth position, the second air guide plate 1062 tilts upward from back to front, so that the second air guide plate 1062 can discharge air upward. When the air conditioner is in cooling mode, the second air guide plate 1062 can be adjusted to move to the fourth position. When the second air guide plate 1062 moves to the fifth position, the second air guide plate 1062 tilts downward from back to front, so that the air outlet 102 can discharge air downward. When the air conditioner is in heating mode, the second air guide plate 1062 can be adjusted to move to the fifth position.

[0184] Optionally, the second air guide plate 1062 is arranged side by side with the first air guide plate 106 at the air outlet 102; it can be understood that the second air guide plate 1062 can also be arranged separately at the air outlet 102 to adjust the air outlet direction of the air outlet. The second air guide plate 1062 can also be arranged side by side with the first air guide plate 106 at the air outlet to improve the diversity of use of the air conditioner.

[0185] Optionally, the second air guide plate 1062 and the first air guide plate 106 are arranged side by side in the vertical direction or the horizontal direction.

[0186] Optionally, the second air guide plate 1062 is located above the first air guide plate 106. In this way, the air outlet 102 can adjust the air outlet direction and air volume in the height direction through the first air guide plate 106 and / or the second air guide plate 1062. When the temperature control demand is small, only the first air guide plate 106 or the second air guide plate 1062 can be controlled to discharge air. When the temperature control demand is large, the first air guide plate 106 can discharge air to the range close to the front side wall 108 of the shell 10, thereby increasing the air supply distance. The second air guide plate 1062 also discharges air at an angle, but the angle between the flow direction of the airflow guided by the second air guide plate 1062 and the vertical direction is greater than the angle between the flow direction of the airflow guided by the first air guide plate 106 and the vertical direction. Therefore, the second air guide plate 1062 discharges air to the range away from the front side wall 108 of the shell 10. The first air guide plate 106 and the second air guide plate 1062 can further expand the air outlet range, reduce dead angles, and improve the temperature control effect.

[0187] Optionally, an air conditioner may include one or more air outlet adjustment devices, so as to adjust the diversity of air outlet. Optionally, when an air conditioner includes multiple air outlets spaced apart along the length of the housing, the air outlet adjustment devices of the multiple air outlets may be the same or different.

[0188] Optionally, the multiple air outlets include a first air outlet and a second air outlet. In a specific embodiment, the first air outlet is provided with an air outlet guide plate, and the second air outlet is provided with an air outlet duct, wherein the first air outlet corresponds to the first indoor space, and the second air outlet corresponds to the second indoor space, wherein the activity frequency of people in the second indoor space is greater than the activity frequency of people in the first indoor space, or the temperature difference between the first indoor space and the preset temperature is greater than the temperature difference between the second indoor space and the preset temperature. In the embodiment of the present disclosure, an air outlet duct is provided in the second indoor space where the activity frequency of people is higher, so that the air outlet duct can be rotated to avoid directly blowing on people, and the temperature can be adjusted while ensuring the user's usage needs. Alternatively, the first air outlet corresponds to an indoor space with large temperature changes, such as a kitchen. Since the temperature difference in the kitchen is large when the kitchen utensils are working, the first air outlet is directed towards the kitchen so that it can directly blow on the kitchen and speed up the cooling speed.

[0189] In another specific embodiment, an air outlet is provided at the first air outlet, and a first air guide plate is provided at the second air outlet, so that the first air outlet discharges air at a large angle in a direction away from the shell, and the second air outlet discharges air at a small angle in a direction close to the shell, thereby increasing the air outlet space and improving the temperature control effect.

[0190] Optionally, the air conditioner further includes an air inlet grille, wherein the number of air inlet grilles is multiple and the multiple air inlet grilles are arranged side by side at the air inlet, thereby ensuring more uniform airflow entering the air inlet. The air inlet guide plate movable cover is disposed outside the air inlet grille. Optionally, when the air conditioner indoor unit includes an air outlet guide plate, the air conditioner indoor unit further includes an air outlet grille, wherein the number of air outlet grilles is multiple and the multiple air inlet grilles are arranged side by side at the air outlet, thereby ensuring more uniform airflow exiting the air outlet. The air outlet guide plate movable cover is disposed outside the air inlet grille.

[0191] Alternatively, as Figures 20 to 23 As shown, the air conditioner indoor unit also includes an installation shell and an odor release device 801. The installation cavity is located in the shell 10. The installation shell defines an installation cavity, which is connected to the accommodating cavity 103. The odor release device 801 can be raised and lowered in the installation cavity for placing odor release substances.

[0192] In the disclosed embodiment, the mounting cavity is connected to the accommodating cavity 103, and the odor-releasing device 801 is located in the mounting cavity. The odor-releasing substance in the odor-releasing device 801 releases odor, and the odor can enter the accommodating cavity 103. When the fan 202 drives the airflow in the accommodating cavity 103, the odor can flow out of the air outlet 102 along with the airflow, thereby regulating the indoor air and improving the user's experience. The odor-releasing device 801 can be raised and lowered in the mounting cavity. When other release substances need to be added or replaced, the odor-releasing device 801 can be lowered for user operation without the user having to climb up or disassemble the housing 10 for operation. Optionally, the odor-releasing substance is a fragrance.

[0193] Optionally, a mounting opening 802 is provided on the bottom wall of the mounting shell 80, which is communicated with the mounting cavity, and the odor release device 801 is movably arranged at the mounting opening 802; wherein, the mounting opening 802 matches the odor release device 801, so that when the odor release device 801 is inserted into the mounting cavity, the odor release device 801 can close the mounting opening 802.

[0194] In the disclosed embodiment, the bottom of the mounting housing 80 is provided with a mounting opening 802, which facilitates the raising and lowering of the odor release device 801 within the mounting cavity. Furthermore, when the odor release device 801 is raised into the mounting cavity, the odor release device 801 can close the mounting opening 802, preventing odors within the mounting cavity from escaping through the mounting opening 802, thereby improving the service life and performance of the odor release device 801.

[0195] Optionally, the bottom wall of the mounting housing 80 is curved, with the curved opening facing upward, and the odor release device 801 is fan-shaped. When the odor release device 801 is inserted into the mounting slot, the outer wall surface 1061 of the odor release device 801 is flush with the outer wall surface 1061 of the mounting housing 80. In this way, when the odor release device 801 is inserted into the mounting slot, the majority of the odor release device 801 is located within the mounting cavity, and the outer wall surface 1061 of the odor release device 801 is flush with the outer wall surface 1061 of the mounting housing 80. Thus, when the odor release device 801 is in place, it can be integrated with the mounting housing 80, thereby improving the overall appearance and aesthetics of the air conditioner indoor unit.

[0196] Optionally, the cross-section of the mounting cavity from front to back is quasi-circular, where quasi-circular refers to a circle or a nearly circle. This allows the bottom wall of the mounting housing 80 to be arc-shaped, facilitating its fit with the odor release device 801 and enhancing the aesthetics of the mounting housing 80 and the odor release device 801, thereby improving the overall aesthetics of the air conditioner indoor unit.

[0197] It can be understood that the bottom wall of the mounting shell 80 can also be a plane or other shapes, and the shape of the odor release device 801 matches the bottom wall of the mounting shell 80, so that the odor release device 801 can be inserted into the mounting cavity and the mounting opening 802 can be closed. These are all optional embodiments of the present application.

[0198] Optionally, the bottom wall of the mounting housing 80 protrudes below the bottom wall of the housing 10 , and / or the front side wall 108 of the mounting housing 80 is flush with the front side wall 108 of the housing 10 .

[0199] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the bottom wall of the mounting shell 80 protrudes from below the bottom wall of the shell 10, which can increase the volume of the accommodating chamber 103, thereby increasing the size of the odor release device 801, increasing the amount of odor release devices 801 that can be accommodated, and reducing the number of replacements. Moreover, the bottom wall of the mounting shell 80 protrudes from below the bottom wall of the shell 10, which further lowers the position of the mounting port 802, reduces the height of the odor release device 801, improves the convenience of lowering the odor release device 801, and reduces the setting size and energy consumption of the drive device. The front side wall 108 of the mounting shell 80 is flush with the front side wall 108 of the shell 10, which improves the sense of integration and consistency between the front side wall 108 of the mounting shell 80 and the front side wall 108 of the shell 10, and improves the integrity and aesthetics of the air conditioner appearance.

[0200] Optionally, the air conditioner indoor unit further includes a drive mechanism 803, which is located in the installation cavity and is connected to the odor release device 801 for driving the odor release device 801 to move up and down. This allows the odor release device 801 to move up and down automatically without manual operation, thereby improving the intelligent experience of the air conditioner.

[0201] It should be noted that the odor release device 801 can also be raised and lowered manually.

[0202] In some optional embodiments, the drive mechanism 803 includes a fourth motor 804, a rotating column 805, and a connecting rope 806. The rotating column 805 is connected to the output terminal of the motor, and the fourth motor 804 can drive the rotating column 805 to rotate. The connecting rope 806 is wound around the outside of the rotating column 805, and the free end of the connecting rope 806 is connected to the odor release device 801 to drive the odor release device 801. This drive mechanism 803 has a simple structure, is easy to implement, and is low-cost.

[0203] Optionally, the connecting rope 806 is made of a flexible material.

[0204] In some other optional embodiments, the driving mechanism 803 includes a lifting rod, the free end of which is connected to the odor releasing device 801, and the lifting rod can drive the odor releasing device 801 to rise or fall.

[0205] In other optional embodiments, an elastic member is installed within the mounting cavity, and the odor release device 801 is connected to the elastic member. When the odor release device 801 is lowered, the elastic member undergoes elastic deformation. In this way, when the odor release device 801 is added or replaced, the elastic member allows the odor release device 801 to rise and be stored within the mounting cavity. Optionally, when the elastic member is installed within the mounting cavity, the air conditioner indoor unit may or may not be equipped with a drive mechanism 803.

[0206] Optionally, the front side wall 108 of the housing 10 is further configured with a cover 807, which protrudes from the side of the front side wall 108 facing the accommodating cavity 103 and is open on the side facing the accommodating cavity 103. The mounting housing is located within the cover 807. In this way, the mounting housing 80 can be installed within the cover 807, and the driving mechanism 803 can also be installed within the cover 807.

[0207] Optionally, the air outlet 102 is arranged on the front side wall 108 of the shell 10, and the number of the air outlet 102 is multiple, and the multiple air outlets 102 include a first air outlet and a second air outlet, and the second air outlet and the first air outlet are arranged in sequence along the length direction of the shell 10; wherein, the installation shell 80 is located between the first air outlet and the second air outlet.

[0208] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the installation shell 80 is located between the first air outlet and the second air outlet, so that the gas flowing out of the installation cavity can flow to the first air outlet and the second air outlet respectively, so that the first air outlet and the second air outlet can both blow out airflow with the smell of regulating the air.

[0209] Alternatively, as Figure 24 and Figure 25 As shown, the air-conditioning indoor unit includes a mounting plate 90 and a shell 10, the mounting plate 90 is suitable for being installed on a mounting base, and the mounting plate 90 is provided with a connecting portion; the shell 10 defines a accommodating cavity 103 having an air inlet 101 and an air outlet 102, and the shell 10 includes a top wall 107, and the top wall 107 is provided with a connecting fitting portion adapted to the connecting portion; wherein, when the connecting portion is connected to the connecting fitting portion, the shell 10 is connected to the mounting plate 90.

[0210] In the disclosed embodiment, when installing the air conditioner, first install the mounting plate 90 on a mounting base, which can be a ceiling or suspended ceiling. The mounting plate 90 can be secured to the ceiling using screws or bolts. The mounting plate 90 has a connecting portion. After installing the mounting plate 90, the air conditioner is lifted to connect the connecting portion of the housing 10 with the connecting portion. This connects the housing 10 to the mounting plate 90, thereby completing the installation of the air conditioner. This eliminates the need for set screws, thereby improving the convenience of the air conditioner installation.

[0211] Optionally, the connecting portion and the connecting mating portion are detachably connected, making it easier to disassemble the air conditioner for maintenance. For example, the detachable connection can be achieved by screws or snap connections.

[0212] In some optional embodiments, the connecting portion and the connecting mating portion are engaged, wherein the connecting portion includes one of the hook 901 and the slot 905, and the connecting mating portion includes the other of the hook 901 and the slot 905. When the hook 901 is located in the slot 905, the connecting portion and the connecting mating portion are connected. This makes installation more convenient and eliminates the need for additional screws or bolts, thereby improving installation convenience.

[0213] Optionally, when the connecting portion includes a hook 901 and the connecting mating portion includes a slot 905, the hook 901 includes a first arm segment 902 and a second arm segment 903, one end of the first arm segment 902 is connected to the wall of the mounting plate 90 facing the shell 10 and extends downward; the second arm segment 903 is connected to the other end of the first arm segment 902 and extends in a horizontal direction; when the hook 901 is connected to the slot 905, the first arm segment 902 is located in the slot 905, and the second arm segment 903 is located in the accommodating cavity 103, and abuts against the wall of the top wall 107 facing the accommodating cavity 103.

[0214] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first arm segment 902 of the hook 901 is used to extend the hook 901 into the accommodating cavity 103, and the second arm segment 903 is used to abut against the top wall 107. The second arm segment 903 avoids abutting against the top wall 107 toward the accommodating cavity 103. In this way, when connecting the shell 10 and the mounting plate 90, the hook 901 first extends into the slot 905, and then pushes the shell 10 in the horizontal direction so that the second arm segment 903 abuts against the top wall 107. In this way, the limited connection between the hook 901 and the slot 905 can be achieved, and then the connection between the shell 10 and the mounting plate 90 can be achieved.

[0215] Optionally, the length of the opening of the slot 905 is greater than or equal to the length of the second arm segment 903 , and the hook 901 is slidably connected to the slot 905 , so that the hook 901 can slide between the installation position and the connection position.

[0216] In the disclosed embodiment, when the hook 901 is in the installation position, the hook 901 is inserted into the slot 905 from top to bottom, the first arm section 902 is located in the slot 905, and the second arm section 903 matches the opening of the slot 905, allowing the second arm section 903 to be inserted into or removed from the slot 905. When the hook 901 moves to the connection position, the second arm section 903 is located below the top wall 107, so that the second arm section 903 can abut against the top wall 107 to prevent the hook 901 from being removed from the slot 905. When the hook 901 moves from the installation position to the connection position, the hook 901 moves along the length of the second arm section 903, so that the second arm section 903 abuts against the top wall 107 to achieve installation, or the second arm section 903 matches the opening of the slot 905 to facilitate the second arm section 903 from being removed from the opening of the slot 905. During installation, the second arm segment 903 is first inserted into the slot 905, and then the shell 10 is moved horizontally so that the second arm segment 903 slides toward one side of the slot 905, so that the second arm segment 903 can abut against the top wall 107, thereby realizing the connection between the shell 10 and the mounting plate 90.

[0217] Optionally, the second arm segment 903 is provided with one of a protrusion 9031 and a groove, and the wall surface of the top wall 107 facing the accommodating cavity 103 is provided with the other of the protrusion 9031 and the groove, and the protrusion 9031 extends from the second arm segment 903 toward the top wall 107. When the shell 10 is connected to the mounting plate 90, the protrusion 9031 is located in the groove.

[0218] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, when the second arm segment 903 moves to the installation position, the latching protrusion 9031 of the second arm segment 903 can be engaged with the groove of the top wall 107, which can prevent the second arm segment 903 from moving in the horizontal direction, thereby improving the stability of the air conditioner installation.

[0219] Optionally, the hook 901 also includes a limiting protrusion 9032, which is arranged at the other end of the second arm segment 903 and extends from the second arm segment 903 toward the top wall 107; the wall surface of the top wall 107 facing the accommodating cavity 103 is also constructed with a limiting groove, which is located on one side of the slot 905, wherein when the shell 10 is connected to the mounting plate 90, the limiting protrusion 9032 is located in the limiting groove.

[0220] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, a limiting protrusion 9032 is further provided at the end of the second arm segment 903 facing away from the first arm segment 902, and a limiting groove is provided on the top wall 107. In this way, when the second arm segment 903 moves to the installation position, the limiting protrusion 9032 can also be located in the limiting groove, further limiting the hook 901, preventing the hook 901 from moving equivalent to the top wall 107, thereby improving the connection stability between the mounting plate 90 and the shell 10.

[0221] Optionally, when the shell 10 is connected to the mounting plate 90, the second arm segment 903 moves forward from the lower end of the first arm segment 902. In this way, when installing the air conditioner, after the second arm segment 903 is inserted into the slot 905, the shell 10 is pushed backward, so that the second arm segment 903 can abut against the top wall 107, and the gap between the rear side of the air conditioner and the rear mounting base can be reduced, so that the top and rear side of the air conditioner can be as close to the mounting base (such as a wall or ceiling) as possible, reducing the space occupied by the air conditioner and improving the sense of integration after the air conditioner is installed.

[0222] Optionally, there are multiple connecting parts, which are sequentially spaced apart along the length direction of the mounting plate 90 , and the number of the connecting fitting parts is the same as the number of the connecting parts and corresponds one to one.

[0223] In the disclosed embodiment, the mounting plate 90 and the top wall 107 of the housing 10 are connected via a plurality of connecting portions and a plurality of second connecting fitting portions, which can improve the installation stability of the air conditioner.

[0224] Optionally, the upper wall surface of the top wall 107 is partially recessed downward to form a mounting groove 904 . When the housing 10 is connected to the mounting plate 90 , the mounting plate 90 is located in the mounting groove 904 .

[0225] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the upper wall portion of the top wall 107 is recessed downward to form a mounting groove 904. In this way, when the mounting plate 90 is connected to the shell 10, the mounting plate 90 is at least partially located in the mounting groove 904. This allows the top wall 107 of the shell 10 to be as close to the ceiling as possible, reducing the gap between the ceiling and the top wall 107 of the shell 10, improving the aesthetics of the installation, and preventing dust from accumulating on the top wall 107 of the shell 10.

[0226] An embodiment of the present disclosure provides an air conditioner, which includes an air conditioner indoor unit according to any one of the above embodiments.

[0227] The air conditioner of the embodiment of the present disclosure includes the air conditioner indoor unit of any of the above embodiments, and thus has the beneficial effects of the air conditioner indoor unit of any of the above embodiments, which will not be described in detail here.

[0228] Optionally, the air conditioner is a ceiling air conditioner, a ceiling air conditioner or a duct air conditioner.

[0229] Optionally, the air conditioner further includes a temperature control component, which includes a fan 202 and a heat exchanger 201, and is located in the accommodating chamber 103. The fan 202 can drive air from the air inlet 101 to flow through the heat exchanger 201 and then out of the air outlet 102. In this way, the air conditioner can blow out cold air or hot air to adjust the indoor temperature.

[0230] Optionally, the fan 202 is a cross-flow fan, which can increase the air volume of the air conditioner and thus improve the temperature control effect.

[0231] Optionally, the length of the cross-flow fan extends along the length direction of the housing 10 to reduce the dimensions of the air conditioner in other directions and facilitate the installation of the air conditioner.

[0232] Optionally, the air inlet 101, heat exchanger 201, fan 202, and air outlet 102 are arranged in sequence from back to front. In this way, the airflow entering the air inlet 101 first exchanges heat with the heat exchanger 201, then flows through the fan 202, and then exits the air outlet 102. The air inlet 101, heat exchanger 201, fan 202, and air outlet 102 are arranged in sequence from back to front. That is, the air inlet 101 is arranged at the rear, so that the airflow entering the air inlet 101 has a sufficient path to flow through the heat exchanger 201, thereby increasing the heat exchange time with the heat exchanger 201 and improving the heat exchange efficiency.

[0233] Alternatively, as Figure 26 As shown, there are multiple crossflow fans, with at least two of the multiple crossflow fans spaced apart along the length of the housing 10. This not only increases the airflow volume of the crossflow fans, thereby reducing the size of the air conditioner and improving its installation flexibility, but also allows for independent control of the on / off function of each crossflow fan, thereby increasing the airflow diversity of the air conditioner and enhancing the user experience.

[0234] Optionally, the heat exchanger 201 is tilted upward from front to back, with a portion of the evaporator positioned above the air inlet 101. This increases the heat exchange area between the heat exchanger 201 and the airflow, thereby improving the air conditioner's temperature regulation. Positioning a portion of the evaporator above the air inlet 101 allows the airflow entering the air inlet 101 to flow to the heat exchanger 201, further increasing the heat exchange area between the heat exchanger 201 and the air inlet 101.

[0235] Optionally, along the direction from top to bottom, the projection of the heat exchanger 201 is located inside the air inlet 101, and the upper end of the heat exchanger 201 abuts against the top wall 107 of the shell 10, so that the airflow flowing into the air inlet 101 must flow through the heat exchanger 201 and then flow to the air outlet 102, ensuring that the airflow flowing into the air inlet 101 can fully exchange heat, thereby improving the temperature control effect of the ceiling-mounted air conditioner.

[0236] Optionally, the height of the accommodating chamber 103 decreases from back to front. Since the air outlet 102 is located on the front side wall 108 and the air inlet 101 is located on the rear side of the bottom wall, the flow area of ​​the accommodating chamber 103 decreases as the air outlet 102 approaches, which can increase the air outlet speed of the air outlet 102. In addition, the reduction in the area of ​​the air outlet 102 also facilitates the installation of an air outlet device. Optionally, the bottom wall of the shell 10 extends horizontally, and the distance between the top wall 107 of the shell 10 and the bottom wall of the shell 10 gradually decreases from back to front. This allows the components in the shell 10 to be stably placed and also allows for changes in the accommodating chamber 103.

[0237] Optionally, the air conditioner further includes a driving device, which is located on one side of the cross-flow fan and is used to drive the cross-flow fan to rotate; wherein the number of the driving devices is the same as the number of the cross-flow fans and corresponds one to one.

[0238] In the disclosed embodiment, each cross-flow fan is provided with a driving device, so that each cross-flow fan can be independently controlled to open or close or rotate speed, thereby improving the air outlet diversity of the air conditioner.

[0239] Optionally, there are multiple air outlets 102, and the number of air outlets 102 is the same as the number of cross-flow fans and corresponds one to one, so that the air volume of each air outlet 102 can be controlled individually, thereby improving the usage diversity of the air conditioner.

[0240] Optionally, the air conditioner further includes a detection device and a controller. The detection device is configured to detect indoor temperature information. The controller is electrically connected to the detection device and the plurality of drive devices, and is configured to control the operation of the plurality of drive devices based on the indoor temperature information. This allows the air conditioner to automatically adjust the air flow pattern, improves intelligent air conditioning adjustment, and enhances the user experience.

[0241] Optionally, the air conditioner further includes a volute 2021 and a volute tongue 2022, wherein the volute 2021 is located above the crossflow fan; the volute tongue 2022 is provided on the bottom wall of the housing 10 and is located on the side of the crossflow fan facing the air outlet 102, and the volute 2021 and the volute tongue 2022 define a fan chamber having an inlet and an outlet; wherein one end of the volute 2021 extends to the side of the crossflow fan facing the heat exchanger 201, and the outlet is inclined downward from the back to the front. In the disclosed embodiment, a crossflow fan is installed in the fan chamber, and the volute 2021 and the volute tongue 2022 cooperate with the crossflow fan to adjust the air outlet direction of the crossflow fan so that the airflow can flow from the rear side to the front side of the crossflow fan. One side of the volute 2021 extends to the side of the crossflow fan facing the heat exchanger 201, so that the air flowing out of the heat exchanger 201 can flow into the fan cavity, pass through the interior of the crossflow fan, and flow out from the lower part of the crossflow fan in the radial direction of the crossflow fan, so that the airflow from the crossflow fan can flow out from the air outlet 102. Because the bottom wall of the housing 10 extends horizontally, the distance between the top wall 107 of the housing 10 and the bottom wall of the housing 10 gradually decreases from the back to the front. The outlet of the crossflow fan is tilted downward from the back to the front, allowing the outlet of the crossflow fan to cooperate with the air outlet 102, thereby increasing the air output of the air outlet 102 and reducing air loss.

[0242] Optionally, the air conditioner further includes a reinforcing rib 2023, which is provided on the side of the volute 2021 facing away from the fan chamber. This can increase the strength of the volute 2021 and prevent the volute 2021 from deforming.

[0243] Optionally, there are multiple reinforcing ribs 2023 , and the multiple reinforcing ribs 2023 are sequentially spaced apart along the length direction of the volute 2021 , which can further strengthen the strength of the volute 2021 .
