[0039] Furthermore, the connection part is hollowed out to form a plurality of through holes and a plurality of first reinforcing ribs 12 are formed on the inner side of the connection part. In this technical solution, the provision of the plurality of first reinforcing ribs 12 improves the structural strength of the connection part and prevents the support frame from breaking.

[0040] Further, the support portion includes an upper support plate 13 and a lower support plate 14 respectively formed on the upper and lower sides of the rear end of the connection portion, and an upper groove 15 adapted to be engaged with the lower edge of the outer air guide door 3 is constructed on the side of the end of the upper support plate 13 facing the outer air guide door 3, and a lower groove 16 adapted to be engaged with the lower edge of the upper air outlet 4 of the middle frame 2 is constructed on the side of the end of the lower support plate 14 facing the middle frame 2. In this technical solution, the construction of the upper groove 15 and the lower groove 16 on the support frame can facilitate the cooperation between the support frame and the outer air guide door and the middle frame, prevent the support frame from moving forward and backward relative to the outer air guide door and the middle frame, and improve the assembly stability of the support frame.

[0041] Furthermore, the upper support plate 13 is provided with a plurality of second reinforcing ribs 17 near the upper groove 15 on the side facing the outer air guide door 3. In this technical solution, the provision of the plurality of second reinforcing ribs 17 improves the structural strength of the upper support plate and prevents the upper support plate from breaking.

[0042] Furthermore, the outer end of the upper groove 15 extends upward to form a buckle 18, and the buckle 18 abuts against the outer wall of the lower end of the outer air guide door 3. In this technical solution, the buckle 18 prevents the support frame from moving forward and backward, and the support frame can be removed by gently pressing down during disassembly, which is very convenient.

[0043] Furthermore, a third reinforcing rib 19 is connected between the lower end surface of the upper support plate 13 and the connecting portion. In this technical solution, the third reinforcing rib 19 is provided to improve the connection strength between the upper support plate itself and the connecting portion, prevent the upper support plate from breaking, and improve the assembly stability of the support frame.

[0044] Furthermore, a fourth reinforcing rib 20 is connected between the upper end surface of the lower support plate 14 and the connecting portion. In this technical solution, the fourth reinforcing rib 20 is provided to improve the connection strength between the lower support plate itself and the connecting portion, prevent the lower support plate from breaking, and improve the assembly stability of the support frame.

[0047] Specifically, after the outer air guide door of the air conditioner is reset, there is usually a gap of about 13 mm with the middle frame, through which the user can easily open the outer air guide door. Visitors manually open the outer air guide door. After the outer air guide door is pulled by external force, it cannot be closed normally due to insufficient support at the bottom of the outer air guide door (the lower end of the outer air guide door sinks), and the outer air guide door cannot be automatically reset, causing inconvenience to the user to open it next time, and the opening angle is inconsistent with other machines, which seriously affects the visual experience of the next batch of visitors. If the outer air guide door is reset by powering on, it will be time-consuming and labor-intensive, which is quite troublesome. Therefore, a support frame is installed between the outer air guide door and the middle frame, so there is no need to power on to reset the outer air guide door, and the outer air guide door can be kept in the reset state at all times, which is convenient for users to open, and it has the effect of preventing dust and mosquitoes, while improving the user experience.
