[0052] Figure 1 Schematic diagram of an air-conditioning indoor unit 20 according to an embodiment of the present utility model.

[0053] refer to Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides an air-conditioning indoor unit 20 , which includes an air-conditioning body 21 , at least one driving device 23 and at least one supporting device 25 .

[0054] Each driving device 23 is fixed on the air conditioner body 21 and has an abutment end that abuts against the surface of the cabinet door arranged on the front side of the air conditioner body 21; the driving device 23 is configured to drive the abutment end to move up and down to push the cabinet door to rotate upward and open or to close the cabinet door under the action of its own gravity.

[0055] The supporting device 25 is disposed on the air conditioner body 21 or the driving device 23 and is connected to the abutting end of the driving device 23 to provide a supporting force for the abutting end of the driving device 23 .

[0056] The air conditioner 10 of this embodiment is generally an embedded air conditioner 10. Different from the conventional wall-mounted air conditioner 10, the embedded air conditioner 10 installs the air conditioner indoor unit 20 in a cabinet 40, thereby hiding the air conditioner indoor unit 20 and making the home layout more beautiful. At the same time, in order to further improve the uniformity of the home layout, a cabinet door 44 is also provided on the front side of the air conditioner indoor unit 20, so that the opening of the cabinet 40 is closed to hide the air conditioner indoor unit 20 when the air conditioner 10 is not in use.

[0057] In some embodiments where the air conditioner 10 is an embedded air conditioner 10, the cabinet 40 includes a cabinet body 42 and a cabinet door 44, and the cabinet door 44 is used to close the opening of the cabinet 40. The cabinet door 44 may not be installed on the air conditioner body 21, but may be installed and fixed on the cabinet body 42 of the cabinet 40. It can be understood that the air conditioner indoor unit 20 does not include the cabinet door 44 installed on the air conditioner body 21.

[0058] The upper end of the cabinet door 44 of this embodiment is rotatably connected to the upper side of the opening of the cabinet 40, so that the cabinet door 44 can be rotated upward to open or rotated downward to close relative to the cabinet 40. The cabinet door 44 closes the opening including making the cabinet door 44 completely close the opening and also including making the cabinet door 44 partially cover the opening.

[0059] In other embodiments, the cabinet door 44 may also be mounted and fixed on the air conditioner body 21, that is, the air conditioner indoor unit 20 includes a cabinet door 44 mounted on the air conditioner body 21. The upper end of the cabinet door 44 of this embodiment is rotatably connected to the upper front part of the air conditioner body 21, so that the cabinet door 44 can be rotated upward relative to the air conditioner body 21 to open or rotated downward to close.

[0060] One or more pivoting members 46 may be provided between the cabinet door 44 and the cabinet body 42 to enable the cabinet door 44 to be rotatably connected to the cabinet body 42. In some optional embodiments, the pivoting member 46 may be a hinge. In other optional embodiments, the pivoting member 46 may also be other pivoting members 46 such as hinges.

[0061] In order to enable the cabinet door 44 to be opened and closed automatically in a controlled manner without the need for manual opening and closing by the user, at least one driving device 23 is provided on the air conditioner body 21. The driving device 23 drives its abutting end to move up and down to push the abutting cabinet door 44 to rotate upward and open or to close the cabinet door 44 under the action of its own gravity, thereby replacing the operation of manually opening the cabinet door 44 by the user.

[0062] In order to reduce the pressure of the weight of the cabinet door 44 on the abutting end of the driving device 23 and extend the service life of the driving device 23, the present embodiment also provides a supporting device 25 that connects the abutting end of the driving device 23 with the shell body or the driving device 23, which is used to provide supporting force for the abutting end of the driving device 23 to improve the reliability of the driving device 23.

[0063] In the embodiment where the air conditioner 10 is an embedded air conditioner 10, the cabinet 40 for placing the air conditioner indoor unit 20 can be various cabinets 40, which can be used for storage. The utility model does not limit the specific use of the cabinet 40. For example, the cabinet 40 can be used for household use, specifically in the kitchen, bathroom, living room or bedroom. For example, the cabinet 40 can be set in the kitchen to accommodate the air conditioner indoor unit 20.

[0064] The number of the driving device 23 on the air conditioner indoor unit 20 can be one or more. Figure 1 The diagram shows an embodiment in which there are two drive devices 23. The two drive devices 23 arranged on the left and right sides of the air-conditioning body 21 synchronously push the cabinet door 44 to open, sharing the weight of the cabinet door 44, providing more stable support for the cabinet door 44, and making the load of each drive device 23 smaller.

[0065] The number of the supporting devices 25 is preferably the same as the number of the driving devices 23. In other words, each supporting device 25 is connected to the abutting end of a driving device 23 to provide supporting force for the abutting end of the driving device 23 when the cabinet door 44 is opened.

[0066] Figure 2 yes Figure 1 A schematic perspective view of the air conditioner indoor unit 20 is shown

[0067] refer to Figure 2 As shown, in some optional embodiments, the driving device 23 is optionally an electric push rod; and the driving device 23 includes a housing 232 and a rod 234. The housing 232 is fixed on the air conditioner body 21. The rod 234 is telescopically arranged in the housing 232 and has an abutting end that abuts against the surface of the cabinet door 44.

[0068] The electric push rod can be an electric screw rod or an electric hydraulic rod, and can also be an electric rod of other principles or structures. The electric push rod is a common device in the field, and its working principle and specific device do not need to be introduced here. Under the drive of electricity, the electric push rod controls the rod body 234 to extend outward or retract inward relative to the housing 232, thereby pushing the cabinet door 44 to open or driving the cabinet door 44 to close.

[0069] In other embodiments, the driving device 23 may also be in other forms, such as a rotating rod, one end of which is rotatably mounted on the air conditioner body 21, and the other end of which is against the cabinet door 44, and pushes the cabinet door 44 to open during the rotation process. Or it may be a multi-rod device, such as a parallelogram transmission device, or other motion devices, which will not be introduced one by one here.

[0070] This embodiment fully considers that different cabinet doors 44 may have different weights. The rotatable electric push rod is connected to the air conditioner body 21 only at the shaft position, and the connection reliability is relatively poor, and it is difficult to withstand the pressure of the heavy cabinet door 44. Therefore, this embodiment fixes the housing 232 on the air conditioner body 21 to make the installation of the drive device 23 and the air conditioner body 21 more secure, so as to better bear the weight.

[0071] The housing 232 of the driving device 23 is partially fixed to the air conditioner body 21, and the rod 234 is telescopically movable relative to the housing 232, and the abutting end of the rod 234 abutting against the surface of the cabinet door 44 moves linearly along the extension direction of the rod 234. When the rod 234 is telescopic, the abutting position of the abutting end of the rod 234 and the cabinet door 44 will change because the cabinet door 44 is rotating, that is, the abutting end of the rod 234 will slide against the cabinet door 44.

[0072] Figure 3 yes Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a partial enlarged schematic diagram of part A of the air-conditioning indoor unit 20 .

[0073] refer to Figure 3 As shown, in order to prevent the abutting end of the rod body 234 from sliding directly on the surface of the cabinet door 44 and causing damage to the cabinet door 44, in some optional embodiments, the driving device 23 also includes a pulley 236. The pulley 236 is rotatably arranged at the abutting end of the rod body 234 and abuts against the surface of the cabinet door 44.

[0074] refer to Figure 2 As shown, in some optional embodiments, the supporting device 25 includes a first supporting rod 252, a second supporting rod 254 and an elastic member.

[0075] The first support rod 252 has a first end rotatably connected to the abutting end of the driving device 23, and the second support rod 254 has a first end rotatably connected to the air conditioner body 21 or the shell 232 of the driving device 23; and the first support rod 252 and the second support rod 254 respectively have second ends rotatably connected to each other.

[0076] The elastic member is disposed on the first support rod 252 and the second support rod 254 and is configured to cause the first end of the first support rod 252 to move away from the first end of the second support rod 254. The first end of the second support rod 254 is lower in height than the second end of the second support rod 254.

[0077] In order to enable the supporting device 25 to provide an upward supporting force to the abutting end of the driving device 23, the driving device 23 of this embodiment includes a first support rod 252 and a second support rod 254 connected at the second end, and the first ends of the first support rod 252 and the second support rod 254 are respectively connected to the supporting end of the rod body 234 of the driving device 23, and the shell 232 of the driving device 23 or the air conditioner body 21.

[0078] The first end of the second support rod 254 is connected to the housing 232 of the driving device 23 or the air conditioner body 21 to provide a fixed force point for the support device 25. The elastic member causes the first end of the first support rod 252 to move away from the first end of the second support rod 254, thereby increasing the opening angle between the first support rod 252 and the second support rod 254.

[0079] The first end of the second support rod 254 of the present embodiment is lower in height than the second end of the second support rod 254. Therefore, the thrust that increases the opening angle between the first support rod 252 and the second support rod 254 is applied upward to the supporting end of the rod body 234 of the driving device 23 connected to the first end of the first support rod 252, thereby offsetting a portion of the pressure exerted on the driving device 23 by the weight of the cabinet door 44.

[0080] Figure 2 Only the first support rod 252 and the second support rod 254 are illustrated, and the elastic member is not illustrated. In some optional embodiments, the elastic member can be a coil spring, and is arranged at the second end connected to the first support rod 252 and the second support rod 254. In other optional embodiments, the elastic member can also be a spring, and connects the first support rod 252 and the second support rod 254, for example, the two ends are respectively connected to the first ends of the first support rod 252 and the second support rod 254, and pushes the first end of the first support rod 252 away from the first end of the second support rod 254.

[0081] In some optional embodiments, the first end of the second support rod 254 is rotatably connected to the housing 232 of the driving device 23. That is, both ends of the support device 25 of this embodiment are connected to the driving device 23, so the driving device 23 can be disassembled and assembled with the support device 25 as a whole, thereby reducing the difficulty of assembly and maintenance of the air conditioner indoor unit 20.

[0082] Figure 4 yes Figure 1 A schematic cross-sectional view of the air conditioner indoor unit 20 is shown.

[0083] refer to Figure 4 As shown, the air conditioner body 21 of this embodiment includes a casing 211 , a front panel 212 , an air supply fan 213 , a heat exchanger 214 and an air supply duct 215 .

[0084] The front panel 212 is disposed at the front side of the housing 211 ; an air inlet 212A is provided at the upper portion of the front panel 212 , and an air outlet 212B is provided at the lower portion of the front panel 212 .

[0085] The air supply fan 213 is disposed in the housing 211 and is used to cause air to be sucked into the housing 211 from the air inlet 212A and blown out from the air outlet 212B.

[0086] The heat exchanger 214 is disposed between the air inlet 212A and the air supply fan 213 for exchanging heat with the air sucked from the air inlet 212A and flowing through the heat exchanger 214, so that the air supply fan 213 blows out a heat exchange airflow from the air outlet 212B.

[0087] The air supply duct 215 is disposed in the housing 211 and connects the air supply fan 213 and the air outlet 212B.

[0088] The air conditioner indoor unit 20 of this embodiment is usually installed in the cabinet 40 as an embedded air conditioner indoor unit 20. The air conditioner indoor unit 20 is the indoor part of the split air conditioner 10, and is used to adjust the indoor air, specifically, including adjusting the temperature, humidity, air quality of the air, humidifying and dehumidifying the indoor air, introducing fresh air, etc. The air conditioner 10 can be composed of an evaporator, a condenser, a compressor, a throttling device and other necessary components to form a vapor compression refrigeration cycle system, so as to output cold air / hot air through a fan to achieve cooling and heating of the indoor environment.

[0089] The front panel 212 of the air conditioner indoor unit 20 is located at the opening of the cabinet 40, and an air inlet 212A is provided at the upper portion of the front panel 212, and an air outlet 212B is provided at the lower portion of the front panel 212, so that the air inlet and outlet of the air conditioner indoor unit 20 of this embodiment are on the same side. Indoor air enters the air conditioner body 21 from the air inlet 212A at the upper portion of the front panel 212, flows through the heat exchanger 214, and is blown out from the air outlet 212B at the lower portion of the front panel 212 by the air supply fan 213 along the air supply duct 215.

[0090] The cabinet door 44 of this embodiment is at least used to shield the air inlet 212A of the air conditioner indoor unit 20, that is, when the cabinet door 44 is closed, the lower end height of the cabinet door 44 is lower than the height of the air inlet 212A of the air conditioner indoor unit 20. In some embodiments, the cabinet door 44 can also be further used to shield the entire front panel 212 of the air conditioner indoor unit 20.

[0091] In some optional embodiments, the air conditioner body 21 further includes a first air guide plate 216. The first air guide plate 216 is disposed at the air outlet 212B and has a rotation axis extending laterally above the air outlet 212B, and is used to close the air outlet 212B or guide the air outlet direction of the air conditioner body 21.

[0092] refer to Figure 4As shown, the first air guide plate 216 of the present embodiment, when opened, can not only guide the outlet air flow by adjusting the rotation height and change the outlet distance, but also separate the air inlet 212A and the air outlet 212B on its upper and lower sides, thereby preventing the air inlet 212A from directly sucking the heat exchange air flow blown out from the air outlet 212B back into the air-conditioning body 21, thereby optimizing the air inlet and outlet effects of the air-conditioning indoor unit 20 and improving the heat exchange efficiency and air supply effects.

[0093] In some optional embodiments, the front panel 212 may form a plurality of air inlet grilles extending transversely at the air inlet 212A, each of which is inclined downward toward the inside of the air conditioner body 21, so that the air flow direction at the air inlet 212A is inclined downward to enter the air conditioner body 21.
