[0019] The bottom wall of the box is also provided with a first wire-locking part, and a first wire-fixing groove is formed between the first wire-locking part and the end of the straight strip plate near the arched plate.

[0020] The second conductor passes through the first wire-fixing groove and is interference-fitted with the first wire-fixing groove.

[0021] In one illustrative embodiment, the outlet hole is interference-fitted with the second conductor.

[0022] In one illustrative embodiment, a first partition is provided on the bottom wall of the box;

[0023] The first partition divides the internal space of the box into a first mounting space for accommodating the first display module and a second mounting space for accommodating the second display module;

[0024] The first partition is provided with a first wire passage for the first wire to pass through.

[0025] In one illustrative embodiment, the first wire is routed along the first partition;

[0026] The first partition is provided with a plurality of second wire clips arranged sequentially along the first partition, and the second wire clips are connected to the first wire.

[0027] In one illustrative embodiment, a second wire-locking part is also provided on the bottom wall of the box, and a second wire-locking groove is formed between the second wire-locking part and the first partition.

[0028] The first wire passes through the second wire-fixing groove and is interference-fitted with the second wire-fixing groove.

[0029] In one illustrative embodiment, a humidity sensor disposed within the housing is also included;

[0030] The box is shaped like a square plate, and the bottom wall of the box has a vent hole that is aligned with the humidity sensor.

[0031] In one illustrative embodiment, a second partition is provided on the bottom wall of the box;

[0032] The second partition divides the second mounting space into a third mounting space for accommodating the second display module and a fourth mounting space for accommodating the humidity sensor.

[0033] In one illustrative embodiment, the second partition and the first partition are spaced apart to form a first cable passage, and the third mounting space is connected to the fourth mounting space through the first cable passage;

[0034] A second rib and a third wire-locking part are provided at the first wire passage, and a third wire-fixing groove is formed between the second rib and the third wire-locking part.

[0035] The display device further includes a third wire extending from the humidity sensor to the second display module, the third wire passing through the third wire mounting groove and being interference-fitted with the third wire mounting groove;

[0036] The second rib is provided with a third wire buckle, which is used to engage the third wire.

[0037] In one illustrative embodiment, the fourth mounting space is provided with a mounting slot for accommodating the humidity sensor, and the mounting slot is located at one corner of the housing;

[0043] In one illustrative embodiment, the housing includes a face frame and a panel 122 hinged to the top of the face frame, and the display device housing is connected to the panel 122;

[0044] The minimum distance between the top of the box and the top of the face frame is greater than or equal to 19 mm.

[0045] In the technical solution of this application, both the first display module and the second display module are installed inside a housing, forming an integrated structure. During installation, only the housing needs to be fixed to the air conditioner's outer casing, making installation simpler and faster. Furthermore, compared to existing designs that separately install the two display modules onto the casing, this saves half the number of connectors, which can be screws. Since the first display module, the second display module, and the first wire are all installed inside the housing, the housing provides a certain level of protection, making it more convenient for packaging and transporting the display device separately, and reducing the likelihood of damage. Additionally, the first wire being housed inside the housing and not exposed prevents it from detaching after the display device is installed on the air conditioner's outer casing.

[0061] like Figure 1 As shown, Figure 1The diagram illustrates the structure of an indoor unit of an air conditioner 100 according to an embodiment of this application. The indoor unit of the air conditioner 100 includes a display device 110, a housing 120, a heat exchanger, a filter, and a cross-flow fan 130. The display device 110, the heat exchanger, and the cross-flow fan 130 are all housed within the housing 120.

[0062] like Figure 2 , 3 As shown, the outer casing 120 includes a panel 122, a frame 121, and two end caps 123. The frame 121 is provided with an air inlet 1211, an air outlet 1212, and an air duct 1213, which extends from the air inlet 1211 to the air outlet 1212. The air inlet 1211 may be located at the top of the frame 121, and the air outlet 1212 may be located at the bottom of the frame 121. A heat exchanger and a cross-flow fan 130 are both disposed within the air duct 1213. The cross-flow fan 130 drives the air within the air duct 1213 to flow from the air inlet 1211 towards the air outlet 1212. As the air flows through the heat exchanger, the heat exchanger can cool or heat the air, thus allowing the air outlet 1212 to output cool or warm air. A filter is disposed on the air inlet 1211 to filter the air flowing into the air inlet 1211. Panel 122 covers the front end of frame 121. The top of panel 122 is hinged to the top of frame 121, allowing panel 122 to rotate relative to frame 121 for easy removal and installation of the filter. Panel 122 has two light-transmitting areas that allow light to pass through. Two end caps 123 are respectively fitted onto opposite ends of frame 121.

[0063] like Figure 4 , 5As shown, the display device 110 includes a housing 2, a first display module 4, a second display module 3, and a first wire 2. The housing 2 has a flat, thin-shell structure. The housing 2 can be made of an insulating material, such as plastic. The first display module 4, the second display module 3, and the first wire 2 are all disposed inside the housing 2. The first display module 4 and the second display module 3 are both snap-fitted to the housing 2. An opening is provided on one side of the housing 2, through which the first display module 4, the second display module 3, and the first wire 2 can be installed into the housing 2. The first display module 4 and the second display module 3 are both provided with display areas, which can display text, numbers, and / or patterns. The display areas of the first display module 4 and the second display module 3 both face the opening of the housing 2. The content displayed in the display areas of the first display module 4 and the second display module 3 is different. The first display module 4 can be a color filter display box, capable of displaying colored patterns and / or text information. The display area of ​​the first display module 4 can be used to display the operating mode of the air conditioner 100, such as a cooling mode, a heating mode, a fan mode, and a dehumidification mode. The display area of ​​the second display module 3 is used to display temperature values ​​and auxiliary functions, such as auxiliary heating and air purification. A two-digit LED display can be used on the second display module 3 to display the temperature value. One end of the first wire 2 is connected to the first display module 4, and the other end is connected to the second display module 3. The first wire 2 electrically connects the first display module 4 and the second display module 3. Electrical signals are transmitted between the first display module 4 and the second display module 3 through the first wire 2.

[0064] like Figure 9 , 10 As shown, the box body 2 is disposed inside the outer shell 120 and connected to the inner wall of the outer shell 120. The opening of the box body 2 faces the outer shell 120, and the inner wall of the outer shell 120 covers the opening of the box body 2. In this embodiment, the box body 2 is connected to the surface of the panel 122 facing the frame 121. The panel 122 covers the opening of the box body 2. The box body 2 and the panel 122 can be connected by screws and / or snap-fit ​​connections. The display areas of the first display module 4 and the second display module 3 are respectively aligned with the two light-transmitting areas on the panel 122, and the content displayed in the display areas of the first display module 4 and the second display module 3 can be displayed through the two light-transmitting areas respectively.

[0065] In this way, both the first display module 4 and the second display module 3 are installed inside the housing 2, forming an integrated structure. During installation, only the housing 2 needs to be fixed to the outer casing 120 of the air conditioner 100, making installation simpler and faster. Furthermore, compared to existing designs that separately install the two display modules onto the casing, this saves half the number of connecting parts, which can be screws. Since the first display module 4, the second display module 3, and the first wire 2 are all installed inside the housing 2, the housing 2 provides a certain degree of protection, making it more convenient to package and transport the display device 110 separately, and reducing the likelihood of damage to the display device 110. Additionally, the first wire 2 being located inside the housing 2 and not exposed prevents it from detaching after the display device 110 is installed on the outer casing 120 of the air conditioner 100.

[0066] Since both the first display module 4 and the second display module 3 are installed inside the housing 2, the housing 2 can be made as small as possible so that the housing 2 will not block the air inlet 1211 on the outer shell 120, and the air intake volume of the air inlet 1211 can be significantly improved.

[0067] In one illustrative embodiment, such as Figure 4 , 8 As shown, the display device 110 also includes a second wire 6. One end of the second wire 6 is connected to the second display module 3. The other end of the second wire 6 is used to connect to the main control board of the air conditioner 100. The main control board transmits electrical signals to the second display module 3 through the second wire 6.

[0068] The housing 2 includes a side wall 22 and a bottom wall 21. The bottom wall 21 is constructed as a generally rectangular plate structure. The side wall 22 surrounds the bottom wall 21. A cable outlet 221 is provided on one side wall 22 of the housing 2. The cable outlet 221 can be configured as a notch penetrating the side wall 22 or as a through hole. The second wire 6 passes through the cable outlet 221.

[0069] A first rib 23 is provided on the bottom wall 21 of the housing 2. The first rib 23 is located inside the housing 2. The first rib 23 is constructed as a strip plate. The surface of the first rib 23 is perpendicular to the bottom wall 21 of the housing 2. The first rib 23 is located between the second display module 3 and the cable outlet 221 of the housing 2, and the first rib 23 extends in the direction from the second display module 3 to the cable outlet 221. The end of the first rib 23 near the second display module 3 is straight. The end of the first rib 23 near the cable outlet 221 arches to one side. The second conductor 6 is laid along the arched side of the first rib 23, and the second conductor 6 is bent into an arch shape along the first rib 23.

[0070] Multiple first wire clips 231 are provided on the first rib plate 23. Each first wire clip 231 can be constructed as a flat plate perpendicular to the first rib plate 23. The first wire clip 231 is located at the end of the first rib plate 23 facing away from the bottom wall 21 of the box body 2. A wire-holding groove is formed between the first wire clip 231, the first rib plate 23, and the bottom wall 21 of the box body 2. The second wire 6 passes through this wire-holding groove and is held in it, allowing the first wire clip 231 to engage with the second wire 6. Multiple first wire clips 231 are arranged sequentially along the extending direction of the first rib plate 23. All multiple first wire clips 231 are located on the arched side of the first rib plate 23.

[0071] In this way, the second wire 6 is fixed to the first rib 23 by multiple first wire clips 231, preventing it from moving. Since the second wire 6 extends along the first rib 23, and the first rib 23 arches at the end near the outlet hole 221, when the second wire 6 is pulled outside the housing 2, it will adhere tightly to the surface of the arched portion of the first rib 23. This generates significant friction between the second wire 6 and the first rib 23, which counteracts the pulling force applied to the second wire 6, preventing the pulling force from being transmitted to the connection point between the second wire 6 and the second display module 3. Thus, the second wire 6 can withstand significant pulling force without detaching from the second display module 3. In particular, the contact area between the second wire 6 and the arched portion of the first rib 23 is large, resulting in a wider distribution of friction force on the second wire 6. This prevents the insulation sheath of the second wire 6 from fatigue damage due to excessive stress concentration.

[0072] In one illustrative embodiment, such as Figure 4 , 7 As shown in Figure 8, at least both ends of the first rib 23 are provided with first wire clips 231. The first wire clips 231 at both ends of the first rib 23 can securely fix the second wire 6 to the first rib 23 together, preventing the first rib 23 from becoming too loose from the second wire 6, which would cause the first rib 23 to fail to resist the tension on the second wire 6.

[0073] In one illustrative embodiment, the first rib 23 includes a straight strip 232 and an arched strip 233. The straight strip 232 is constructed in a straight strip shape. The straight strip 232 extends from the second display module 3 to the cable outlet 221 of the housing 2, and is perpendicular to the side wall 22 where the cable outlet 221 is located. The arched strip 233 arches towards one side of the straight strip 232, and one end of the arched strip 233 is connected to the end of the straight strip 232 facing the cable outlet 221.

[0074] A first wire-holding portion 251 is also provided on the bottom wall 21 of the box body 2. The first wire-holding portion 251 can be constructed as a strip plate. The extending direction of the first wire-holding portion 251 is the same as the extending direction of the straight strip plate 232. The first wire-holding portion 251 and the straight strip plate 232 are spaced apart from one end of the arched plate 233, and a first wire-holding groove 252 is formed between the first wire-holding portion 251 and the straight strip plate 232.

[0075] The second conductor 6 is inserted through the first wire-fixing groove 252, and the second conductor 6 is interference-fitted with the first wire-fixing groove 252.

[0076] In this way, the first wire fixing groove 252 can hold the second wire 6 tightly, and when the second wire 6 is pulled, the second wire 6 can be closely attached to the arched plate 233 of the first rib 23, so that a large frictional force can be generated between the arched plate 233 and the second wire 6. At the same time, a large frictional force can also be generated between the first wire fixing groove 252 and the second wire 6 to offset part of the pulling force, which can further prevent the second wire 6 from falling off the second display module 3.

[0077] In one illustrative embodiment, the second wire 6 is interference-fitted with the outlet hole 221 of the housing 2.

[0078] When the second wire 6 is pulled, a large frictional force can be generated between the wire outlet hole 221 and the second wire 6 to offset part of the pulling force, which can further prevent the second wire 6 from falling off the second display module 3.

[0079] In an illustrative embodiment, a first partition 24 is provided on the bottom wall 21 of the housing 2. The first partition 24 is constructed as a straight strip. The surface of the first partition 24 is perpendicular to the bottom wall 21 of the housing 2. The first partition 24 may extend from the side wall 22 of the housing 2 opposite to the cable outlet 221 toward the side wall 22 of the housing 2 where the cable outlet 221 is provided. The first partition 24 divides the internal space of the housing 2 into a first mounting space 201 and a second mounting space 202. The first mounting space 201 and the second mounting space 202 may be rectangular cavities. The first mounting space 201 accommodates the first display module 4. The second mounting space 202 accommodates the second display module 3. The first partition 24 is also provided with a first cable passage 242, which may be a notch or a through hole, through which the first wire 2 passes.

[0080] The first wire 2 is routed along the first partition 24. Multiple second wire clips 241 are provided on the first partition 24. The second wire clips 241 are located at the end of the first partition 24 facing away from the bottom wall 21 of the box body 2. A wire-holding groove is formed between the second wire clips 241, the first partition 24, and the bottom wall 21 of the box body 2. The first wire 2 passes through this wire-holding groove and is held in it, causing the second wire clips 241 to engage with the first wire 2. The second wire clips 241 are arranged sequentially along the extending direction of the first partition 24.

[0081] In this way, the first partition 24 divides the internal space of the box 2 into two independent areas. The first display module 4 and the second display module 3 are respectively set in the first installation space 201 and the second installation space 202, which can effectively prevent water droplets from forming on the first display module 4 and the second display module 3 under high humidity conditions, and prevent the first display module 4 and the second display module 3 from short-circuiting.

[0082] In an illustrative embodiment, a first rib 242 and a second rib 243 are further provided within the first mounting space 201. Both the first rib 242 and the second rib 243 extend from the side wall 22 of the housing 2 to the first partition 24. The first rib 242, the second rib 243, the first partition 24, and the side wall 22 of the housing 2 enclose a rectangular space, within which the first display module 4 is disposed. The first rib 242, the second rib 243, the first partition 24, and the side wall 22 of the housing 2 all abut against the first display module 4. The first display module 4 is precisely accommodated within the rectangular space, further reducing the possibility of water droplets forming on the first display module 4 under high humidity conditions.

[0083] In one illustrative embodiment, such as Figure 4 , 8 As shown, a second wire-holding portion 253 is provided on the bottom wall 21 of the box body 2. The second wire-holding portion 253 can be configured as a plate-like structure. The second wire-holding portion 253 can be parallel to the first partition 24. The first partition 24 and the second wire-holding portion 253 are spaced apart to form a second wire-fixing groove 254 between the first partition 24 and the second wire-holding portion 253. The first wire 2 passes through the second wire-fixing groove 254, and the first wire 2 and the second wire-fixing groove 254 are interference-fitted.

[0084] In this way, the second wire-fixing groove 254 can further fix the first wire 2, preventing the first wire 2 from shaking and causing it to fall off the first display module 4 or the second display module 3.

[0085] In one illustrative embodiment, such as Figure 4 As shown, the display device 110 also includes a humidity sensor 7. The humidity sensor 7 is disposed inside the housing 2. The humidity sensor 7 and the housing 2 can be connected by a snap-fit ​​connection. The housing 2 is shaped like a square disc. A vent hole 20 is provided on the bottom wall 21 of the housing 2, and the vent hole 20 is a through hole penetrating the bottom wall 21 of the housing 2. Multiple vent holes 20 can be provided, and all vent holes 20 are aligned with the humidity sensor 7.

[0086] Air surrounding the display device 110 can enter the housing 2 through the vent 20, and the humidity of this air is measured by the humidity sensor 7. Placing the humidity sensor 7 inside the housing 2 further reduces the assembly steps in the final assembly of the air conditioner 100, improving assembly efficiency. In particular, the humidity sensor 7 is located inside the housing 2, and the housing 2 has a square disc shape, making the overall appearance more aesthetically pleasing.

[0087] In one illustrative embodiment, such as Figure 4 , 8 As shown, a second partition 29 is also provided on the bottom wall 21 of the box body 2. The second partition 29 is constructed as a straight strip of flat plate. The second partition 29 may extend from the side wall 22 of the box body 2 toward the first partition 24. The extension direction of the second partition 29 is perpendicular to the extension direction of the first partition 24. The second partition 29 divides the second mounting space 202 inside the box body 2 into a third mounting space 203 and a fourth mounting space 204. The third mounting space 203 accommodates the second display module 3. The fourth mounting space 204 accommodates the humidity sensor 7, and a vent 20 is provided on the bottom wall 21 of the fourth mounting space 204.

[0088] The second partition 29 separates the third mounting space 203 and the fourth mounting space 204. The second display module 3 and the fourth mounting space 204 are respectively housed in the third mounting space 203 and the fourth mounting space 204. This prevents humid air entering the fourth mounting space 204 from flowing into the third mounting space 203 through the vent 20, and prevents water droplets from condensing on the second display module 3 in the third mounting space 203, which could cause a short circuit.

[0089] In one illustrative embodiment, a first partition 24 and a second partition 29 are spaced apart, forming a first wire passage 242 between the two partitions. The first wire passage 242 connects the third mounting space 203 and the fourth mounting space 204. A first rib 23, a first wire clamping part 251, and a second wire clamping part 253 are all disposed at the first wire passage 242. The first wire 2 and the second wire 6 both pass through the first wire passage 242.

[0090] A second rib 27 and a third wire-holding part 255 are also provided at the first wire passage 242. The second rib 27 may be parallel to the first partition 24. The third wire-holding part 255 is provided at an interval from the second rib 27, and a third wire-holding groove 256 is formed between the second rib 27 and the third wire-holding part 255.

[0091] The display device 110 also includes a third wire 8. The third wire 8 extends from the humidity sensor 7 to the second display module 3. The humidity sensor 7 is electrically connected to the second display module 3 via the third wire 8. Electrical signals are transmitted between the humidity sensor 7 and the second display module 3 through the third wire 8. The third wire 8 passes through the third wire mounting groove 256, and there is an interference fit between the third wire 8 and the third wire mounting groove 256. A third wire clip 271 is also provided on the second rib plate 27. The third wire clip 271 engages with the third wire 8.

[0092] In this way, the third conductor 8 can be routed along the second rib plate 27, and the third conductor 8 is fixed by the third wire clip 271 and the third wire fixing groove 256.

[0093] In one illustrative embodiment, such as Figure 4 , 8 As shown, a mounting slot 205 is also provided in the fourth mounting space 204, which is used to accommodate the humidity sensor 7. The mounting slot 205 is located at one corner of the housing 2. The mounting slot 205 may be located at one corner of the housing 2 closest to the air inlet 1211 of the outer shell 120. A second wire passage 206 is provided on the side wall 22 of the mounting slot 205 near the first wire passage 242. The second wire passage 206 may be a notch or a through hole.

[0094] The housing 2 also includes a third rib 281. The third rib 281 is constructed as a strip plate. The third rib 281 extends from the edge of the second wire passage 206 near the side wall 22 of the housing 2 to the side wall 22 of the housing 2 near the second wire passage 206. The third wire 8 is also routed along the third rib 281. A fourth wire clip 282 is provided on the third rib 281. The fourth wire clip 282 is plate-shaped and is located at one end of the third rib 281 facing away from the bottom wall 21 of the housing 2. The fourth wire clip 282 engages with the third wire 8.

[0095] In this way, a free wiring area is formed between the second partition 29 and the third rib 281. Even if the third conductor 8 is long, it can be bent and wired in an arc within the free wiring area and guided into the mounting groove 205 by the third rib 281, avoiding damage caused by the bending radius of the third conductor 8 being too small. At the same time, the fourth wire clip 282 can also securely fix the third conductor 8 to the third rib 281.

[0096] In one illustrative embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown, the top of the face frame 121 is hinged to the top of the panel 122, and the housing 2 of the display device 110 is connected to the panel 122. The minimum distance between the housing 2 and the top of the face frame 121 is greater than or equal to 19mm.

[0097] In this way, since the minimum distance between the top of the box 2 and the top of the face frame 121 is greater than or equal to 19mm, the face frame 121 and the face frame 122 will not interfere with each other and get stuck when the face panel 122 rotates relative to the face frame 121.
