[0045] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0046] It should be noted that if the embodiments of the present invention involve directional indications (such as up, down, left, right, front, back...), the directional indications are only used to explain the relative position relationship, movement status, etc. between the components in a certain specific posture. If the specific posture changes, the directional indications will also change accordingly.

[0047] In addition, if there are descriptions involving "first", "second", etc. in the embodiments of the utility model, the descriptions of "first", "second", etc. are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, the features limited to "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of the features. In addition, if "and / or", "and / or" or "and / or" appears in the full text, its meaning includes three parallel solutions. Taking "A and / or B" as an example, it includes solution A, solution B, or solutions that satisfy both A and B. In addition, the technical solutions between the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but it must be based on the ability of ordinary technicians in this field to implement. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be deemed that such combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection required by the utility model.

[0048] Current air conditioners are often provided with decorative strips, which generally only serve a decorative purpose. However, there is a gap between the decorative strip and the air conditioner frame. In particular, in order to reduce manufacturing costs, many decorative strips are manufactured separately from the air conditioner frame, making the gap larger. The above-mentioned gap will cause the air blown out by the air conditioner to flow back into the air conditioner through the gap, thereby generating condensation water, which will affect the performance of the air conditioner or affect the user's use. Therefore, it is necessary to set a seal at the connection of the decorative strip. In the related art, the seal is set on the decorative strip, but because the decorative strip is easy to shake and is limited by the size, shape and connection method of the decorative strip, it is difficult to manufacture a large-sized or complex sealing structure on the decorative strip, which easily makes the sealing effect of the decorative strip connection poor.

[0049] In view of this, see Figure 1-Figure 7 In an embodiment of the utility model, an air conditioner housing 100 is provided, including a panel 110 , a face frame 120 , a decorative strip 130 and a sealing portion 140 .

[0050] For details, see Figure 1-Figure 4 The panel 110 represents the plate body located outside the air conditioner housing 100. The panel 110 can be located at any suitable position of the air conditioner, and the panel 110 can be connected to the face frame 120 in an integral manner or in a detachable manner. In addition, the face frame 120 can be used as the frame part of the air conditioner housing 100, so that the face frame 120 can include the plate body located outside the air conditioner housing 100, and can also include the connection and support structure located inside the air conditioner housing 100, and the air outlet of the air conditioner can be located at the face frame 120. See Figure 2 The face frame 120 and the panel 110 together define an inner cavity 200 . In some embodiments, components such as a heat exchange module, a fan, a filter, and a power module of the air conditioner may all be disposed in the inner cavity 200 .

[0051] According to the requirements, the decorative strip 130 can be in any suitable structural shape, for example, the decorative strip 130 can be in a strip shape, a plate shape or an irregular shape structure. Based on the above panel 110 and the face frame 120, see Figure 4 , the decorative strip 130 is connected to the panel 110. In order to improve the installation stability of the decorative strip 130, in some embodiments, the decorative strip 130 can also be connected to the face frame 120. Based on the connection form of the decorative strip 130, there is a gap 300 between the decorative strip 130 and the face frame 120. It can be seen that if the gap 300 is poorly sealed, it is easy for the air flow blown out by the air conditioner to flow to the inner cavity 200, thereby generating condensation water. In particular, the decorative strip 130 is often arranged on the same side wall surface as the air outlet of the air conditioner and is relatively close to the air outlet, which further aggravates the condensation phenomenon caused by air leakage at the gap 300.

[0052] Therefore, in order to improve the sealing effect at the gap 300, see Figure 2-Figure 3 The sealing portion 140 is connected to one of the panel 110 or the face frame 120, and abuts against the other of the panel 110 or the face frame 120, so that the sealing portion 140 is suitable for blocking the airflow from the gap 300 into the inner cavity 200. The sealing portion 140 can be connected to the panel 110 or the face frame 120 in an integral manner, or can be detachably connected to the panel 110 or the face frame 120. It can be understood that the sealing portion 140 can reduce or prevent the airflow from blowing into the inner cavity 200, thereby improving the condensation phenomenon. In particular, since the sealing portion 140 is connected to one of the panel 110 or the face frame 120, and abuts against the other of the panel 110 and the face frame 120, the connection form and structure of the sealing portion 140 will not affect the design of the decorative strip 130, so that the size and shape of the decorative strip 130 can be designed according to needs. See Figure 3 When the sealing portion 140 is connected to the panel 110, the sealing portion 140 can also be used to define the first groove body 114 or the second groove body 115 and serve as the groove bottom surface of the above groove body.

[0053] According to the combination of the above embodiments, it can be seen that the air conditioner housing 100 of the utility model includes a panel 110, a face frame 120, a decorative strip 130 and a sealing portion 140. The face frame 120 and the panel 110 together define an inner cavity 200. The decorative strip 130 is connected to the panel 110, and a gap 300 is provided between the decorative strip 130 and the face frame 120. The sealing portion 140 is connected to one of the panel 110 or the face frame 120, and abuts against the other of the panel 110 and the face frame 120, so that the sealing portion 140 is suitable for blocking the airflow from the gap 300 into the inner cavity 200. Compared with the related art that connects the sealing structure to the decorative strip 130, the sealing part 140 of the utility model is arranged on one of the panel 110 or the face frame 120, and is connected with the other of the panel 110 and the face frame 120 to block the airflow from flowing into the inner cavity 200. This arrangement can prevent the sealing part 140 from being affected by the shaking of the decorative strip 130 and the connection form and structure of the decorative strip 130, and can facilitate the manufacture of large-sized or complex sealing parts 140, so that the sealing effect is better, and the manufacturing cost of the decorative strip 130 can be reduced. Therefore, the air conditioner housing 100 of the utility model can prevent the decorative strip 130 itself from affecting the sealing of its installation position, so that the sealing effect is better, and the condensation phenomenon formed at the installation position of the decorative strip 130 is reduced.

[0054] It should be noted that see Figure 3 In some embodiments, the sealing part 140 may include multiple sealing parts, and each sealing part 140 may have different connection forms, that is, at least one sealing part 140 is connected to the panel 110 and abuts against the face frame 120, and at least one sealing part 140 is connected to the face frame 120 and abuts against the panel 110. This arrangement is conducive to improving the sealing effect, and the sealing parts 140 with different connection forms can be arranged in sequence along the direction of the airflow blowing toward the inner cavity 200 to form a multiple sealing structure; or each sealing part 140 can be used to seal different areas.

[0055] See also Figure 3 In some embodiments, the panel 110 may include a first plate 111, a second plate 112, and a third plate 113 that are arranged opposite to each other along a first direction X. Along the first direction X, one side of the second plate 112 and the first plate 111 define a first slot 114, and the other side of the second plate 112 and the third plate 113 define a second slot 115. In some embodiments, the first plate 111, the second plate 112, and the third plate 113 may be spaced apart; see Figure 3 In some other embodiments, a plate extending along the first direction X may be connected between the first plate 111, the second plate 112 and the third plate 113 to connect two adjacent plates.

[0056] Corresponding to the first tank body 114 and the second tank body 115, see Figure 3 or Figure 6 In some embodiments, the decorative strip 130 includes a first strip body 131 and a second strip body 132 connected to each other. Thus, the first strip body 131 extends into the first slot body 114, and the second strip body 132 bends toward the second slot body 115 and extends into the second slot body 115. It can be understood that the above-mentioned coordination of the first groove body 114 and the first strip body 131, and the second groove body 115 and the second strip body 132 is for connecting the decorative strip 130 to the panel 110; in addition, since the first plate body 111, the second plate body 112 and the third plate body 113 are arranged relatively along the first direction X, the first groove body 114 and the second groove body 115 defined by the above three plates are also arranged relatively along the first direction X. In order to allow the first strip body 131 and the second strip body 132 of the decorative strip 130 to extend into the first groove body 114 and the second groove body 115 respectively, the second strip body 132 can have a bending structure, so that the decorative strip 130 can be stably connected to the panel 110. It should be noted that the bending in the present invention includes arc bending (bending to form a curved surface) or edge bending (bending to form an edge).

[0057] In addition, to simplify the structure, see Figure 7 In other embodiments, the decorative strip 130 may only be connected to a groove defined by the panel 110 (or the face frame 120).

[0058] See also Figure 3 In some embodiments, the decorative strip 130 extends into the panel 110 along a second direction Y perpendicular to the first direction X, and the first plate 111 and the third plate 113 are arranged opposite to each other along the second direction Y. It can be understood that the second direction Y is the assembly direction of the decorative strip 130, and because the first plate 111 and the third plate 113 are opposite to each other along the second direction Y, the first groove 114 and the second groove 115 are at least partially spaced apart along the second direction Y, so that the two sides of the decorative strip 130 along the second direction Y can be respectively affected by the abutment and limiting effect of the first groove 114 and the second groove 115, so that the decorative strip 130 is installed more stably, and the spacing setting can also make the second strip 132 only need a shorter extension dimension to extend into the second groove 115, that is, the cooperation between the second strip 132 and the second groove 115 forms a hook fixing effect, which can make the disassembly and assembly of the decorative strip 130 more convenient.

[0059] See also Figure 3In some embodiments, the sealing portion 140 is connected to the face frame 120 and abuts against the side of the third plate 113 away from the decorative strip 130 along the first direction X. It can be understood that along the first direction X, one side of the third plate 113 can support the decorative strip 130, and the other side can be abutted by the sealing portion 140. Therefore, during the process of installing and connecting the panel 110 to the face frame 120, the sealing portion 140 can abut against the third plate 113 to play a role in installation limitation, and the sealing portion 140 can play a good sealing role after installation.

[0060] See also Figure 3 In other embodiments, the face frame 120 has a sealing groove 121, and the sealing portion 140 is connected to the panel 110 and extends into the sealing groove 121. It is understandable that, since the face frame 120 is relatively large, there is a relatively large space for setting the sealing groove 121, so that the sealing portion 140 extends into the sealing groove 121 and abuts against the groove surface of the sealing groove 121, so that the sealing effect of the sealing portion 140 is better. The sealing groove 121 can have any suitable shape and structure, and the shape and structure of the sealing portion 140 can correspond to the sealing groove 121. For example, see Figure 3 In some embodiments, the sealing groove 121 is V-shaped and is recessed in a direction away from the sealing portion 140. In addition, if space permits, the panel 110 may also have a sealing groove 121 (for example, the sealing groove 121 may be provided on a side of the third plate 113 away from the decorative strip 130 along the first direction X), so that the sealing portion 140 can be connected to the face frame 120 and extend into the sealing groove 121, which can also achieve a better sealing effect.

[0061] See also Figure 3 In some embodiments, the second strip 132 includes a first connection portion 1321, and the panel 110 includes a second connection portion 116, and the first connection portion 1321 and the second connection portion 116 are detachably connected. According to the requirements, the first connection portion 1321 and the second connection portion 116 can be connected in any suitable manner, such as a snap connection, a bolt connection, a magnetic connection, etc. For ease of description, the following uses the first connection portion 1321 as a convex point and the second connection portion 116 as a groove so that the first connection portion 1321 and the second connection portion 116 form a snap connection as an example for illustration. Different embodiments can be combined with each other between different technical solutions. In order to ensure the effective fixation of the decorative strip 130 and avoid the warping of the two sides of the decorative strip 130, a plurality of groups of first connection portions 1321 and second connection portions 116 connected to each other can be provided. For details, see Figure 4A group of first connecting parts 1321 and second connecting parts 116 can be respectively set on the large arc surfaces on the left and right sides of the panel 110. In order to evenly distribute the force and gaps in the middle part of the panel 110, several groups of first connecting parts 1321 and second connecting parts 116 can be evenly set.

[0062] In particular, see Figure 3 In some embodiments, the sealing portion 140 can be connected to the panel 110, and the sealing portion 140 can be located on the side of the first connecting portion 1321 close to the inner cavity 200, and block the gap 300. Specifically, the function of the sealing portion 140 to block the gap can be expressed as the airflow sealing function described in the above embodiment. On the other hand, it can also play a sealing role in blocking light. More specifically, combined with the setting of the decorative strip 130, in some embodiments, the decorative strip 130 can be made of a transparent material, and the transparent material can be one of glass, rubber, PVC, polyester fiber, and polypropylene; or in other embodiments, the material of the decorative strip 130 is suitable for reflecting light (for example, the material of the decorative strip 130 can be metal). It is understandable that the material setting of the decorative strip 130 in the above embodiment can make the decorative strip 130 more beautiful and more in line with the aesthetic needs of the user. However, the above material setting may make the user observe the structure inside the air conditioner housing 100 (especially the irregular structure or structural appearance defects), that is, through the reflection (or refraction, transmission) effect of the decorative strip 130 on the light, the user may observe the above structure, which is not conducive to improving the aesthetics of the air conditioner and enhancing the user's experience. However, through the setting of the position of the sealing part 140 in the above embodiment (the sealing part 140 is located on the side of the first connecting part 1321 close to the inner cavity 200), the sealing part 140 can shield the internal structure of the air conditioner housing 100 relative to the gap 300 without interfering with the connection operation between the first connecting part 1321 and the second connecting part 116, that is, the internal structure of the air conditioner housing 100 is not easy to be observed by the user through the gap 300 through the reflection (or refraction, transmission) effect of the decorative strip 130. At the same time, in some embodiments, the sealing portion 140 can also be used to define the second groove body 115 and serve as the groove bottom surface of the second groove body 115 .

[0063] To save manufacturing materials, in some embodiments, the structure of the sealing portion 140 can be configured as one or more raised structures; and to achieve a better sealing effect or light blocking effect, in other embodiments, the structure of the sealing portion 140 can be configured as a plate-like structure extending along the length direction of the decorative strip 130, so that the sealing portion 140 can better block light.

[0064] In order to facilitate the assembly of the decorative strip 130, see Figure 4-Figure 5In some embodiments, the decorative strip 130 extends into the panel 110 along a second direction Y perpendicular to the first direction X (that is, the second direction Y is the assembly direction of the decorative strip 130). Based on this, in some embodiments, the first strip body 131 may include a third connection portion 1311, and the first plate body 111 may have a fourth connection portion 1111, and the third connection portion 1311 and the fourth connection portion 1111 are detachably connected, and the fourth connection portion 1111 is suitable for guiding the third connection portion 1311 to move along the second direction Y. Due to the guiding effect between the third connection portion 1311 and the fourth connection portion 1111 during the connection process, the installation of the decorative strip 130 is more accurate, and the connection between the two connection portions can also limit the decorative strip 130. According to requirements, the third connection portion 1311 and the fourth connection portion 1111 can be connected in any suitable form. Specifically, in some embodiments, the third connection portion 1311 located on the decorative strip 130 can be a latch, and the fourth connection portion 1111 located on the first plate body 111 can be a slot. When viewed along the first direction X, the latch and the latch can both be trapezoidal to achieve a better guiding and positioning effect. The latch can be provided with a protrusion to be slidably connected to the slot, or the latch can be only suitable for extending into the opening of the slot. The latch and the slot can be interference fit or the left and right unilateral gap 300 between the two can be set smaller to achieve a better fixing effect. And in order to facilitate installation and fixing, see Figure 3 In some embodiments, the first strip 131 may have a notch or a slope at one end close to the bottom of the first groove body 114 (or close to the fourth connecting portion 1111), and the notch or the slope may be connected with the first plate body 111, and may also play a role in positioning or guiding the installation of the decorative strip 130.

[0065] See also Figure 3In some embodiments, the side of the face frame 120 facing away from the panel 110 is used to define a blowing port 400, and the end of the gap 300 facing away from the inner cavity 200 has a gap opening 310. The blowing port 400 is an outlet of the air conditioner housing 100 suitable for sending out airflow, so the blowing port 400 can be in any suitable structural form. Therefore, the axis of the blowing port 400 intersects with the axis of the gap opening 310. In addition, the following definition: when there are multiple blowing ports 400 (or the blowing port 400 has multiple directions), the intersection of the axis of the blowing port 400 and the axis of the gap opening 310 is represented by the intersection of at least one axis of the blowing port 400 (or at least one direction of the blowing port 400) and the axis of the gap opening 310; when the blowing port 400 / the gap opening 310 (hereinafter taking the blowing port 400 as an example) is located on a curved surface, the axis of the blowing port 400 includes multiple, that is, multiple normals corresponding to each section of the curved surface. Regarding the definition of the above-mentioned embodiment, in other words, in some embodiments, the decorative strip 130 has a first surface, the surface frame 120 has a second surface, and the first surface and the second surface are arranged opposite to each other to jointly define the gap 300. The flow direction of the airflow around the gap 300 is the air supply direction, the direction from the first surface to the second surface deviates from the air supply direction, and the normal line of the first surface and the normal line of the second surface both intersect with the air supply direction. Among them, the airflow is the airflow delivered by the air conditioner housing 100 (air conditioner), therefore, the direction from the first surface to the second surface deviates from the air supply direction, and the normal line of the first surface and the normal line of the second surface both intersect with the air supply direction. The above two aspects of the settings make the first surface and the second surface tilted relative to the air supply direction, thereby making it difficult for the airflow to directly blow into the gap 300 or push the decorative strip 130 away to make the gap 300 larger.

[0066] Based on the gap 310, the third connecting portion 1311 and the fourth connecting portion 1111 defined in the above embodiment, see Figure 3 In some embodiments, the end of the gap 300 away from the inner cavity 200 has a gap opening 310, and the decorative strip 130 has a slope 133, and the slope 133 is used to define the gap opening 310 and extends in a direction close to the fourth connecting portion 1111. With regard to the definition of the above embodiments, in other words, in some embodiments, one end of the slope 133 is connected to the first surface, and the other end extends toward a side away from the air supply direction. It can be understood that the slope 133 is the outer side surface of the decorative strip 130, and the slope 133 is inclined toward a side away from the air supply direction, so that the slope 133 will not block the airflow sent along the air supply direction, thereby preventing the airflow from being guided into the gap 300 by the slope 133 or rebounding into the gap 300 by the slope 133, which can also improve the sealing effect.

[0067] The second embodiment of the present invention further provides an air conditioner indoor unit, comprising the air conditioner housing 100 of any of the above embodiments. Other structures of the air conditioner indoor unit can refer to the relevant technology and will not be described here.
