[0038] Figure 1 is a schematic front view of a vertical indoor unit according to an embodiment of the utility model, as shown Figure 1 As shown, and refer to Figures 2 to 4 The embodiment of the utility model provides a vertical indoor unit of an air conditioner, comprising a body 500 and a control panel 100. The body 500 is cylindrical. The control panel 100 is connected to the body 500 via an adjustment mechanism to enable the control panel 100 to move at least in the up and down directions relative to the body 500, and to keep the control panel 100 at any position or set position in the up and down movement range.

[0039] In this embodiment, the body 500 is columnar, and the control panel 100 can be installed in a wide range of heights. An adjustment mechanism is provided between the body 500 and the control panel 100. When the control panel 100 needs to be used, the adjustment mechanism causes the position of the control panel 100 to move at least up and down, and moves the control panel 100 to a position where the operator can easily perform control operations on the control panel 100. When the user is not convenient to use the control panel 100 at a high position due to height problems or the scene in which the user is located, the adjustment mechanism moves the position of the control panel 100 so that the user can easily touch the control panel 100. This solves the problem that the control panel 100 is too high or too low, which is not conducive to the operation and observation of people of different heights, and improves the user experience.

[0040] Furthermore, in some embodiments of the present invention, when the height of the machine body 500 is relatively low, when the position that the user's hand can touch is higher than the control panel 100, the adjustment mechanism causes the control panel 100 to move upward, and fixes the control panel 100 to a position where the operator can easily perform control operations on the control panel 100. This avoids the need for the user to bend over when using the machine, thereby improving the user's experience.

[0041] Alternatively, when the height of the body 500 is high, when the position that the user's hand can touch is lower than the control panel 100, the adjustment mechanism causes the control panel 100 to move downward and fixes the control panel 100 to a position that allows the operator to easily perform control operations on the control panel 100.

[0042] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the control panel 100 can also move in the front-rear direction relative to the machine body 500 under the adjustment of the adjustment mechanism.

[0043] In this embodiment, when the control panel 100 is needed, the adjustment mechanism causes the control panel 100 to move up and down, and at the same time, causes the control panel 100 to move forward and backward in the direction of the user, so that the control panel 100 is closer to the user. After the control panel 100 has been used and is no longer needed, the control panel 100 is retracted to the front side of the body 500. The front surface of the retracted control panel 100 is in the same plane as the front surface of the body 500, preventing the user from bumping into it and protecting the air conditioner from damage. Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, at this time, the control panel 100 is in the extended state. Figure 4 As shown, at this time, the control panel 100 is in a retracted state.

The driving device 300 is connected to the connecting rod 200 to cause the connecting rod 200 to rotate relative to the machine body 500 and / or the control panel 100, and to control the relative rotation angle.

[0069] In this embodiment, the user can change the position of the connecting rod 200 relative to the machine body 500 and / or the control panel 100 by controlling the driving device 300, so that the control panel 100 moves to a position suitable for operation. And the control panel 100 is fixed at the moved position, so that the user can operate the control panel 100 conveniently.

[0070] Further, in some embodiments of the present invention, the driving device 300 is driven manually. When the user needs to use the control panel 100, the user pulls the control panel 100 to move to a suitable position.

[0071] In other embodiments of the present invention, the driving device 300 may also be electrically driven.

[0072] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the driving device 300 includes a first motor 310 , and the first motor 310 is connected between two adjacent rod sections 210 to drive the two adjacent rod sections 210 to rotate relative to each other and control the angle of relative rotation.

[0073] In this embodiment, the first motor 310 drives two adjacent rod sections 210 to rotate relative to each other, which reduces the user's operation steps, so that the vertical indoor unit of the air conditioner can be suitable for users in more scenarios.

After receiving the instruction from the user to use the control panel 100, the detection component 400 adjusts the position of the control panel 100 through the adjustment mechanism so that the user can easily touch the control panel 100 to control the air conditioner. Setting the detection component 400 can simplify the user's operation and improve the user's experience.

[0084] Furthermore, the instructions issued by the user can be one or more of voice, facial expressions, or actions such as pressing a switch button, which expands the scenarios of the air conditioner, making it suitable for a variety of people and meeting the various needs of a variety of users.

[0085] In some embodiments of the present invention, the detection component 400 includes a radar module.

[0086] In this embodiment, the radar has a certain penetration ability, which can reduce the impact of the obstruction on the detection of the detection component 400. Moreover, the detection by the radar module is not affected by light and can work normally in an environment with poor light.

[0087] In some other embodiments of the present invention, the detection component 400 includes an infrared sensor.

[0088] In this embodiment, the infrared sensor can detect the approach of a person through thermal radiation signals, thereby avoiding false touches caused by the approach of other objects, and improving the accuracy of the detection component 400 in detecting the approach of a user.

[0089] In some other embodiments of the present invention, the detection component 400 includes a proximity sensor.

[0090] In this embodiment, the proximity sensor can be used in a wide temperature range. Moreover, the proximity sensor has strong environmental adaptability, and the detection result is not affected by dust and dirt.

When the control panel 100 is at the upper limit position of the up and down movement stroke, the control panel 100 is disposed adjacent to and below the air outlet 600.

[0092] In this embodiment, when the air outlet 600 of the air conditioner is in the air outlet state, the movement of the air outlet control panel 100 will not affect the air outlet, thereby ensuring the air outlet performance of the air conditioner and not affecting the normal operation of the air conditioner.

[0093] The utility model also provides an air conditioner, comprising an outdoor unit and a vertical indoor unit as in any one of the above embodiments. The outdoor unit is configured to perform heat exchange in an outdoor environment. The vertical indoor unit is connected to the outdoor unit to be configured to perform heat exchange in an indoor environment.

[0094] In this embodiment, the outdoor unit and the indoor unit cooperate with each other to realize the heat exchange of the air conditioner. Since the control panel 100 on the indoor unit can be installed in a wide range of heights, when the control panel 100 is needed, the adjustment mechanism causes the control panel 100 to move and fixes the control panel 100 at a position where the operator can easily perform control operations on the control panel 100. Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the control panel 100 is in an extended state. When the control panel 100 has been used and is no longer needed, the adjustment mechanism causes the position of the control panel 100 to move, and retracts the control panel 100 to the front side of the body 500. After retraction, the front surface of the control panel 100 is in the same plane as the front surface of the body 500, which prevents the user from bumping against it and protects the air conditioner from damage. When the user is not convenient to use the control panel 100 at a high position due to height problems or the scene in which the user is located, the adjustment mechanism moves the position of the control panel 100 so that the user can easily touch the control panel 100. This solves the problem that the control panel 100 is too high or too low and is not conducive to operation and observation by people of different heights, thereby improving the user's experience.
