The grille portion 11 also includes a blocking structure 112, which is located below the air outlet area 113. The blocking structure 112 is provided between two adjacent vertical bars 111. The blocking structure 112 is used to close the gap between the adjacent vertical bars 111, so that the lower part of the grille portion 11 is formed as a false air outlet. The blocking structure 112 is provided with a drain port 13, which is used to penetrate the blocking structure 112 to connect the inner side and the outer side of the air outlet frame 1.
[0072] It is understandable that, since condensation water is more likely to form at the false air outlet, by providing a drain port 13 on the blocking structure 112, targeted drainage can be achieved, thereby improving drainage efficiency and facilitating improvement in the design rationality of the air conditioner 100.
[0073] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 4 As shown, the drain port 13 is set at a position corresponding to the length of the lower end plate 121, that is, the drain port 13 does not correspond to any of the length of the lower end plate 121. For example, the drain port 13 can be set at the middle position of the length of the lower end plate 121; or, the drain port 13 can be set at a position close to one end of the length of the lower end plate 121, and the present application does not limit this. In this way, the condensed water flowing to the lower end plate 121 can be discharged as soon as possible, thereby improving the drainage efficiency.
[0074] In some embodiments of the utility model, the lower end plate 121 and the grille portion 11 may be integrally formed. Through the above arrangement, the overflow of condensed water caused by the gap between the lower end plate 121 and the grille portion 11 can be avoided, and the condensed water is ensured to be drained through the drain port 13, and the structural stability of the air outlet frame 1 can be improved, thereby improving the reliability of the air conditioner 100. Moreover, there is no need to define the drain port 13 by assembling multiple components, thereby reducing the difficulty of forming the drain port 13 and improving the production efficiency of the air outlet frame 1. That is, by integrating the drain port 13 on the air outlet frame 1 instead of providing a separate drainage component, the number of parts can be reduced, the cost can be reduced, and it is conducive to reducing the difficulty of assembly, thereby improving the practicality of the air conditioner 100.
