Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to air conditioning technology, in particular to an air guide device and an air conditioner indoor unit having the same. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous development and progress of science and technology, household air conditioners are becoming more and more intelligent, and their functions are also increasing. Therefore, some air conditioner indoor units have gradually changed from the simplest power light display to temperature display, and then to the display of temperature, humidity, wind speed and other aspects, and the display content is becoming richer and richer. For example, air conditioners with rapid cooling and heating functions can display temperature on the display screen. However, the display area of ​​existing air conditioner indoor units, especially wall-mounted air conditioner indoor units, is relatively small, and users cannot see the digital display content clearly when they are far away from the air conditioner indoor unit. Even if the display screens of some existing concentrated air conditioner indoor units are large, the display content is large and relatively chaotic, and users cannot quickly and effectively lock the target information. Moreover, users have doubts about whether the temperature on the display screen is real, and it is difficult to judge whether the rapid cooling and heating function is credible. Therefore, some air conditioners with rapid cooling and heating functions can also use the overall color change of the air guide plate to enable the temperature in the room to quickly drop or rise to a comfortable temperature, while using the color-changing air guide plate to intuitively show the current working status of the air conditioner to the user.

[0003] However, since the air conditioners with thermochromic function on the market generally have the entire air guide plate coated with a thermochromic ink layer to change color, the overall aesthetics of the air conditioner is affected. At the same time, the coverage area of ​​the thermochromic ink layer on the air guide plate is too large, and there is a problem of uneven color display at various parts of the air guide plate due to the temperature difference at various parts of the air guide plate, which further affects the overall aesthetics of the air conditioner. In addition, the temperature change of the air guide plate and the speed of change of the outlet temperature may be out of sync due to airflow disturbances or other external factors, and the color display has a lag, which cannot show the current outlet temperature to the user in a timely and accurate manner. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the above problems, the present invention proposes an air guide device and an air conditioner indoor unit having the same, which overcomes the above problems or at least partially solves the above problems.

[0007] Another further object of the first aspect of the utility model is to improve the accuracy of synchronous temperature-sensitive color change.

[0008] The second aspect of the present invention aims to provide an air conditioner indoor unit having the above-mentioned air guide device.

[0009] In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, according to a first aspect of the present invention, the present invention provides an air guide device, which is arranged at the air outlet of an indoor unit of an air conditioner, comprising:

[0010] An air guide plate, wherein at least one temperature-sensitive color-changing area is provided on the air guide plate, and the temperature-sensitive color-changing area is configured to display a preset color when the temperature reaches a preset temperature range; and

[0011] The color change control component is arranged on the air guide plate and is used to adjust the temperature of the air guide plate so that the temperature of the air guide plate is the same as the air outlet temperature of the air outlet.

[0012] Furthermore, a plurality of thermochromic regions are arranged on the air guide plate, each of the thermochromic regions is correspondingly provided with a preset temperature interval, and the preset temperature intervals corresponding to the plurality of thermochromic regions are different.

[0013] Further, the color change control component includes:

[0014] A temperature detection component, used to detect the outlet air temperature and the temperature of the air guide plate; and

[0016] Furthermore, the temperature control component includes multiple temperature control devices, which are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with multiple thermochromic areas. Each temperature control device is arranged in the corresponding thermochromic area to adjust the temperature of the corresponding thermochromic area.

[0017] Furthermore, the union of the preset temperature intervals of the plurality of thermochromic regions is an empty set.

[0018] Furthermore, multiple temperature control devices are electrically connected to the temperature detection components respectively, and are configured to start the temperature control device corresponding to the preset temperature range to which the outlet air temperature belongs when the outlet air temperature reaches any preset temperature range, so that the temperature of the thermochromic area corresponding to the preset temperature range to which the outlet air temperature belongs is the same as the outlet air temperature.

[0019] Furthermore, the thermochromic area is made of thermochromic material and is configured into multiple thermochromic areas, each of which has a different preset color. When the temperature does not reach the corresponding preset temperature range, it displays the same color as the air guide plate, and when the temperature reaches the corresponding preset temperature range, it displays the corresponding preset color.

[0020] Furthermore, the ratio of the area of ​​each thermochromic region to the area of ​​the surface of one side of the air guide plate on which the thermochromic region is provided is 0.01 to 0.1.

[0021] Furthermore, the plurality of temperature-sensitive color-changing regions are evenly spaced along the length direction of the air guide plate.

[0023] a casing having an air outlet disposed thereon; and

At least one temperature-sensitive color change area is arranged on the air guide plate, and the temperature-sensitive color change area is configured to display a preset color when the temperature reaches a preset temperature range.

In addition, the color change control component is arranged on the air guide plate, and is used to adjust the temperature of the air guide plate so that the temperature of the air guide plate is the same as the outlet temperature of the air outlet. In this way, the temperature of the air guide plate can be changed synchronously with the outlet temperature of the air outlet, so as to prevent the hysteresis of the color display, improve the accuracy of temperature-sensitive color change, and thus enhance the user experience.

[0026] Furthermore, the utility model is provided with a plurality of temperature-sensitive color-changing areas on the air guide plate, each temperature-sensitive color-changing area is provided with a corresponding preset temperature range, and the preset temperature ranges corresponding to the plurality of temperature-sensitive color-changing areas are different, so that the display space on the air guide plate can be fully utilized, so that the air guide plate has a plurality of temperature-sensitive color-changing areas that can respond to different temperatures, thereby realizing temperature-sensitive color-changing in multiple temperature modes, avoiding limiting the temperature range of the air guide plate that can be temperature-sensitive and color-changing due to the single preset temperature range of a single temperature-sensitive color-changing area, thereby improving the applicability of the air guide device.

[0027] Furthermore, the color change control component of the utility model includes a temperature detection component and a temperature control component. The temperature detection component is used to detect the outlet air temperature of the air outlet and the temperature of the air guide plate.

[0033] The exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although the exemplary embodiments of the present invention are shown in the accompanying drawings, it should be understood that the present invention can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited by the embodiments described herein. On the contrary, these embodiments are provided to enable a more thorough understanding of the present disclosure and to fully convey the scope of the present invention to those skilled in the art.

[0034] In order to solve at least one of the above technical problems, an embodiment of the utility model provides an air guide device and an air conditioner indoor unit having the same.

[0035] Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of an indoor unit of an air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present utility model. Figure 1 As shown, the air conditioner indoor unit 1 of the present invention may generally include a housing 20 , and an air outlet 21 is provided on the housing 20 to allow the airflow after heat exchange to be transported indoors. In particular, the air conditioner indoor unit 1 of this embodiment further includes an air guide device 10 .

[0036] like Figure 1As shown, the air guide device 10 is arranged at the air outlet 21, and is used to guide the air outlet direction of the airflow after heat exchange. The air guide device 10 includes an air guide plate 100, and at least one thermochromic area 110 is arranged on the air guide plate 100. The thermochromic area 110 is configured to display a preset color when the temperature reaches a preset temperature range. Specifically, the air guide plate 100 has an outer surface that exposes the air outlet 21 when the air conditioner is running. After the air conditioner indoor unit 1 is turned on, the outer surface of the air guide plate 100 can display information to the user. In a specific embodiment, the thermochromic area 110 is arranged on the outer surface of the air guide plate 100 away from the casing 20, so that the user can directly see the thermochromic area 110 of the air guide plate 100, thereby intuitively confirming whether the cooling / heating function of the air conditioner indoor unit 1 is turned on according to the color display state of the thermochromic area 110.

[0037] In some embodiments, Figure 1 As shown, the air conditioner indoor unit 1 is a wall-mounted air conditioner indoor unit, and an air outlet 21 with a horizontal length direction is provided at the bottom of the front panel of the housing 20. The length direction of the air guide plate 100 is the same as the length direction of the air outlet 21.

[0038] In some embodiments, the air conditioner indoor unit 1 currently has a rapid cooling and heating function, which can quickly reduce or increase the temperature in the room to a comfortable temperature. Specifically, the preset temperature interval for the thermochromic area 110 to present the thermochromic change can be set according to the temperature range of the rapid cooling and heating function, so as to intuitively show the user whether the cooling / heating function of the air conditioner indoor unit 1 is turned on.

[0039] The air conditioner indoor unit 1 of the embodiment of the utility model is provided with an air guide device 10 at the air outlet 21, and the air guide device 10 includes an air guide plate 100 provided with at least one temperature-sensitive color-changing area 110, so that when the air conditioner indoor unit 1 turns on the rapid cooling and heating function, the temperature-sensitive color-changing area 110 can intuitively show the user that the rapid cooling and heating function has been turned on, thereby improving the visualization of the rapid cooling and heating function and improving the user's experience. The structure of the air guide device 10 of the utility model is specifically introduced below.

[0040] Figure 2 FIG. 2 is a schematic structural diagram of an air conditioner indoor unit according to another embodiment of the present utility model. Figure 2 As shown, the wind guide device 10 of the present invention may include a wind guide plate 100 and a color change control component 200 .

[0041] like Figure 2As shown, at least one thermochromic region 110 is provided on the air guide plate 100, and the thermochromic region 110 is configured to display a preset color when the temperature reaches a preset temperature range. In other words, the air guide plate 100 uses a part of the region for thermochromic display. When the temperature of the air guide plate 100 reaches a preset temperature range, a part of the region of the air guide plate 100 performs thermochromic display to display a preset color.

[0042] In addition, the color change control component 200 is arranged on the air guide plate 100, and is used to adjust the temperature of the air guide plate 100 so that the temperature of the air guide plate 100 is the same as the air outlet temperature of the air outlet 21, so that the temperature of the thermochromic area 110 of the air guide plate 100 can change synchronously with the air outlet temperature, thereby improving the sensitivity of the thermochromic effect.

[0043] The air guide device 10 of the utility model is arranged at the air outlet 21 of the indoor unit 1 of the air conditioner, and includes an air guide plate 100 and a color change control component 200. At least one temperature-sensitive color change area 110 is arranged on the air guide plate 100, and the temperature-sensitive color change area 110 is configured to display a preset color when the temperature reaches a preset temperature range. In other words, the utility model only performs temperature-sensitive color change in the temperature-sensitive color change area 110 on the air guide plate 100 to reduce the area of ​​temperature-sensitive color change, avoids the problem of uneven color display caused by uneven temperature when the air guide plate 100 changes color as a whole, realizes uniform color display of each temperature-sensitive color change area 110, and improves the overall aesthetics. In addition, the color change control component 200 for adjusting the temperature of the air guide plate 100 is arranged on the air guide plate 100 so that the temperature of the air guide plate 100 is the same as the air outlet temperature of the air outlet 21. In this way, the temperature of the air guide plate 100 can be changed synchronously with the air outlet temperature of the air outlet 21, thereby preventing lag in color display, improving the accuracy of temperature-sensitive color change, and thus improving the user experience.

[0044] In some embodiments, Figure 2 As shown, the air guide plate 100 is provided with a plurality of thermochromic regions 110. Each thermochromic region 110 is provided with a preset temperature range, and the preset temperature ranges corresponding to the plurality of thermochromic regions 110 are different. In other words, the plurality of thermochromic regions 110 are provided with respective thermochromic temperature ranges.

[0045] When the temperature of the air guide plate 100 reaches any preset temperature range, the thermochromic region 110 corresponding to the preset temperature range to which the temperature of the air guide plate 100 belongs changes color and displays a preset color.

[0046] When the temperature of the air guide plate 100 changes and falls into another preset temperature range, the thermochromic area 110 corresponding to the preset temperature range to which the temperature of the air guide plate 100 before the change belongs restores its original color, and the thermochromic area 110 corresponding to the preset temperature range to which the temperature of the air guide plate 100 after the change belongs changes thermochromic and displays the preset color to realize the switching of the thermochromic area 110 of thermochromic change.

[0047] The air guide device 10 of the present invention is provided with a plurality of thermochromic regions 110 on the air guide plate 100, and each thermochromic region 110 is provided with a preset temperature range, so that the air guide plate 100 has a plurality of thermochromic regions 110 that can be adapted to different temperatures. Thus, the air guide device 10 of the present invention can achieve thermochromic in multiple temperature modes, avoiding the limitation of the temperature range of thermochromic of the air guide plate 100 due to the single preset temperature range of a single thermochromic region 110, thereby improving the applicability of the air guide device 10.

[0048] In some embodiments, the union of the preset temperature intervals of the multiple thermochromic regions 110 is an empty set. That is to say, the preset temperature intervals corresponding to the multiple thermochromic regions 110 do not overlap. Thus, during the operation of the air conditioner indoor unit 1, the same outlet air temperature will only fall within the same preset temperature interval, avoiding the situation where multiple preset temperature intervals change color at the same outlet air temperature, improving the accuracy of the thermochromic change of the thermochromic region 110 corresponding to the preset temperature interval to which the outlet air temperature belongs, thereby improving the user experience.

[0049] In some embodiments, the thermochromic region 110 is made of a thermochromic material, and is configured such that a plurality of thermochromic regions 110 are respectively provided with different preset colors, and display the same color as the air guide plate 100 when the temperature does not reach the preset temperature interval corresponding thereto, and display the preset color corresponding thereto when the temperature reaches the preset temperature interval corresponding thereto. In other words, the thermochromic material used in the plurality of thermochromic regions 110 can sense different temperatures. Specifically, the base material of the air guide plate 100 is made of ABS, PS or PP material, and the thermochromic material is made of thermochromic ink, and each thermochromic region 110 is made of a thermochromic material printed in a designated area on the outer surface of the air guide plate 100.

[0050] In this embodiment, the thermochromic ink can be displayed in different colors in different temperature ranges. When the temperature of the air guide plate 100 is rapidly reduced or increased to a specified temperature, only the thermochromic ink in the corresponding thermochromic area changes color, which avoids the problem of uneven color change that exists when the air guide plate 100 is printed with ink as a whole, and increases intuitiveness and aesthetics. In addition, in order to prevent the thermochromic ink from being worn during use, the outer surface of the air guide plate 100 after the ink is printed can be covered with a layer of transparent film.

[0051] The multiple temperature-sensitive color-changing areas 110 provided on the air guide plate 100 of the utility model can display different colors based on different temperatures to display different outlet air temperatures. When the air conditioner indoor unit 1 operates in different modes, the outlet air temperatures are clearly contrasted and easy to distinguish, which improves the accuracy of temperature-sensitive color change and also improves the user's intuitive feeling of the outlet air temperature.

[0052] In some embodiments, the ratio of the area of ​​each thermochromic region 110 to the area of ​​the side surface of the air guide plate 100 provided with the thermochromic region 110 is 0.01 to 0.1. Preferably, the ratio of the area of ​​each thermochromic region 110 to the area of ​​the side surface of the air guide plate 100 provided with the thermochromic region 110 is 0.01 to 0.05, which avoids the problem of poor overall aesthetics of the air guide plate 100 due to the excessive proportion of the thermochromic region 110 on the air guide plate 100, and also limits the area of ​​the thermochromic region 110, thereby improving the uniformity of color display. At the same time, the ratio of the area of ​​each thermochromic region 110 to the area of ​​the side surface of the air guide plate 100 provided with the thermochromic region 110 is not less than 0.01, which ensures the clear display of color, thereby improving the user experience.

[0053] In a specific embodiment, the ratio of the area of ​​each thermochromic region 110 to the area of ​​the surface of the air guide plate 100 on one side where the thermochromic region 110 is provided is 0.02, thereby ensuring clear display of color while limiting the area of ​​the thermochromic region 110 to improve the uniformity of color display.

[0054] In some embodiments, the plurality of thermochromic regions 110 are evenly spaced along the length of the air guide plate 100. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the air conditioner indoor unit 1 is a wall-mounted air conditioner indoor unit, and the length direction of the air guide plate 100 and the length direction of the air outlet 21 are both horizontal, so the air guide plate 100 has a narrow outer surface extending laterally. In this embodiment, a plurality of temperature-sensitive color-changing areas 110 are evenly spaced and distributed on the outer surface of the air guide plate 100 along the length direction of the air guide plate 100, making full use of the effective display space on the narrow outer surface of the air guide plate 100 extending laterally.

[0055] The multiple temperature-sensitive color-changing areas 110 are spaced apart along the length direction of the air guide plate 100 and are respectively used to display different temperature information, thereby being separated from each other in terms of spatial areas. At the same time, the multiple temperature-sensitive color-changing areas 110 are also independent of each other in terms of displaying temperature information and do not interfere with each other.

[0056] In addition, the multiple thermochromic areas 110 are evenly distributed along the length direction of the air guide plate 100, and the multiple thermochromic areas 110 are distributed neatly and orderly, which improves the rationality of the layout of the multiple thermochromic areas 110, facilitates users to quickly lock the thermochromic status of each thermochromic area 110, and improves the user experience.

[0057] Furthermore, the plurality of temperature-sensitive color-changing regions 110 are evenly spaced along the length direction of the air guide plate 100, thereby improving the appearance of the air conditioner indoor unit 1 and the overall aesthetics of the air conditioner.

[0058] In some embodiments, Figure 2 As shown, the color change control component 200 includes a temperature detection component 210 and a temperature control component 220. Specifically, the temperature detection component 210 is used to detect the air outlet temperature of the air outlet 21 and the temperature of the air guide plate 100. The temperature control component 220 is disposed on the air guide plate 100 to adjust the temperature of the air guide plate 100.

[0059] The color change control component 200 of the utility model includes a temperature detection component 210 and a temperature control component 220. The temperature detection component 210 is used to detect the outlet air temperature of the air outlet 21 and the temperature of the air guide plate 100. The temperature control component 220 is arranged on the air guide plate 100 and is used to adjust the temperature of the air guide plate 100. Therefore, the temperature control component 220 can directly adjust the temperature of the air guide plate 100, thereby improving the synchronous change of the temperature of the air guide plate 100 and the outlet air temperature, thereby improving the accuracy of the temperature-sensitive color change of the air guide plate 100, thereby further improving the user experience.

[0060] In some specific embodiments, the temperature detection component 210 includes a first temperature detector (not shown in the figure) and a second temperature detector. Specifically, the second temperature detector is installed on the air guide plate 100 to detect the temperature of the air guide plate 100. In some optional embodiments, the first temperature detector can be arranged on the inner surface of the side of the air guide plate 100 close to the housing 20, that is, arranged on the side of the air guide plate 100 opposite to the outer surface where the temperature-sensitive color-changing area 110 is arranged, so as to detect the outlet air temperature. In other optional embodiments, the first temperature detector can also directly use the built-in temperature sensor of the air conditioner indoor unit 1 to detect the outlet air temperature.

[0061] Figure 3FIG. 2 is a schematic structural diagram of an air conditioner indoor unit according to another embodiment of the present utility model. Figure 3 As shown, the temperature control assembly 220 includes a plurality of temperature control devices, and the plurality of temperature control devices are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the plurality of thermochromic regions 110. Specifically, each temperature control device is arranged in the corresponding thermochromic region 110 to adjust the temperature of the corresponding thermochromic region 110.

[0062] For example, Figure 3 As shown, the plurality of temperature-sensitive color-changing regions 110 may include a first color-changing region 111, a second color-changing region 112, a third color-changing region 113, and a fourth color-changing region 114. The plurality of temperature control devices may include a first temperature control device 221, a second temperature control device 222, a third temperature control device 223, and a fourth temperature control device 224. The first temperature control device 221, the second temperature control device 222, the third temperature control device 223, and the fourth temperature control device 224 are respectively disposed in the first color-changing region 111, the second color-changing region 112, the third color-changing region 113, and the fourth color-changing region 114 to adjust the temperatures of the first color-changing region 111, the second color-changing region 112, the third color-changing region 113, and the fourth color-changing region 114, respectively.

[0063] The air guide device 10 of the present invention realizes separate control of the temperatures of multiple thermochromic areas 110 by providing multiple temperature control devices respectively corresponding to multiple thermochromic areas 110, thereby avoiding the problem that the temperature of the thermochromic area 110 and the air outlet temperature cannot change synchronously due to uneven temperature at various parts of the air guide plate 100 when the temperature of the air guide plate 100 is adjusted as a whole, thereby improving the accuracy of thermochromic performance of multiple thermochromic areas 110, thereby improving the user experience.

[0064] In some embodiments, multiple temperature control devices are electrically connected to the temperature detection component 210 respectively, and are configured to start the temperature control device corresponding to the preset temperature range to which the outlet air temperature belongs when the outlet air temperature reaches any preset temperature range, so that the temperature of the thermochromic area 110 corresponding to the preset temperature range to which the outlet air temperature belongs is the same as the outlet air temperature.

[0065] In this embodiment, during the operation of the air conditioner indoor unit 1, when the outlet air temperature falls within any preset temperature range, the temperature control device corresponding to the preset temperature range to which the outlet air temperature belongs is activated to make the corresponding temperature-sensitive color-changing area 110 perform temperature-sensitive color-changing, thereby improving the user experience.

[0066] The air guide device 10 of the present invention realizes independent control of the temperature of multiple thermochromic areas 110 by providing multiple temperature control devices, further improving the accuracy of thermochromic change, thereby improving the user experience.

[0067] In a specific embodiment, the plurality of temperature-sensitive color-changing regions 110 may include a first color-changing region 111, a second color-changing region 112, a third color-changing region 113, and a fourth color-changing region 114. The first color-changing region 111, the second color-changing region 112, the third color-changing region 113, and the fourth color-changing region 114 respectively represent signs of four different cooling / heating operation modes of the air-conditioning indoor unit 1, and are respectively provided with different preset colors.

[0068] For example, the first color changing area 111 can be a strong cooling area representing a strong cooling mode, and the corresponding preset color is dark blue. When the temperature does not reach the preset temperature range corresponding to the strong cooling mode, it displays the same color as the air guide plate 100, and when the temperature reaches the preset temperature range corresponding to the strong cooling mode, it displays dark blue.

[0069] The second color changing area 112 can be a weak cooling area representing the weak cooling mode, and the corresponding preset color is light blue. When the temperature does not reach the preset temperature range corresponding to the weak cooling mode, it displays the same color as the air guide plate 100, and displays light blue when the temperature reaches the preset temperature range corresponding to the weak cooling mode.

[0070] The third color changing area 113 can be a warm area representing the warm mode, and the corresponding preset color is warm yellow. When the temperature does not reach the preset temperature range corresponding to the warm mode, it displays the same color as the air guide plate 100, and when the temperature reaches the preset temperature range corresponding to the warm mode, it displays warm yellow.

[0071] The fourth color changing area 114 can be a strong heat area representing the strong heat mode, and the corresponding preset color is dark red. When the temperature does not reach the preset temperature range corresponding to the strong heat mode, it displays the same color as the air guide plate 100, and displays red when the temperature reaches the preset temperature range corresponding to the strong heat mode.

[0072] Further, the plurality of temperature control devices may include a first temperature control device 221, a second temperature control device 222, a third temperature control device 223, and a fourth temperature control device 224. The first temperature control device 221, the second temperature control device 222, the third temperature control device 223, and the fourth temperature control device 224 are respectively disposed in the first color changing region 111, the second color changing region 112, the third color changing region 113, and the fourth color changing region 114 to adjust the temperatures of the first color changing region 111, the second color changing region 112, the third color changing region 113, and the fourth color changing region 114, respectively.

[0073] Taking the cooling process as an example, when the air outlet temperature of the air conditioner indoor unit 1 reaches the temperature range corresponding to the weak cooling mode, the temperature control device 222 located at the second color-changing area 112 representing the weak cooling mode adjusts the temperature until the second color-changing area 112 changes color, and the temperature control device located at the temperature-sensitive color-changing area 110 representing the mode stops running to prevent the color changes of different temperature-sensitive color-changing areas 110 from being chaotic. When the air outlet temperature of the air conditioner indoor unit 1 reaches the temperature range corresponding to the strong cooling mode, the first temperature control device 221 located at the first color-changing area 111 representing the strong cooling mode adjusts the temperature until the first color-changing area 111 changes color, and the second color-changing area 112 returns to the original color, so as to realize the switching of the temperature-sensitive color-changing area 110.

[0074] In another specific embodiment, multiple temperature control devices are electrically connected to the temperature detection component 210 respectively, and can be configured to start the temperature control device corresponding to the preset temperature range to which the outlet air temperature belongs when the outlet air temperature reaches any preset temperature range, so that the temperature of the thermochromic area 110 corresponding to the preset temperature range to which the outlet air temperature belongs is the same as the outlet air temperature, and the temperature control device corresponding to the preset temperature range that the outlet air temperature does not fall into controls the temperature of the thermochromic area 110 in which it is located to remain unchanged.

[0075] For example, when the air outlet temperature of the air-conditioning indoor unit 1 is reduced from the temperature range corresponding to the weak cooling mode to the temperature range corresponding to the strong cooling mode, the first temperature control device 221 located at the first color-changing area 111 representing the strong cooling mode adjusts the temperature until the first color-changing area 111 changes color, and the second color-changing area 112 is temperature-controlled by the second temperature control device 222 until it returns to the original color, thereby realizing the switching of the temperature-sensitive color-changing area 110.
