The expansion valve expands the liquid phase refrigerant at high temperature and high pressure condensed in the condenser into a low pressure liquid phase refrigerant.

[0066] The indoor heat exchanger evaporates the refrigerant expanded in the expansion valve and returns the refrigerant gas in a low temperature and low pressure state to the compressor. The indoor heat exchanger can achieve a refrigeration effect by utilizing the latent heat of evaporation of the refrigerant to exchange heat with the material to be cooled.

[0067] In the whole cycle, the air conditioner indoor unit can adjust the temperature of the indoor space. The outdoor unit of the air conditioner indoor unit refers to the part of the refrigeration cycle including the compressor and the outdoor heat exchanger, the indoor unit of the air conditioner indoor unit includes the indoor heat exchanger, and the expansion valve can be provided in the indoor unit or the outdoor unit.

[0068] The indoor heat exchanger and the outdoor heat exchanger function as a condenser or an indoor heat exchanger.

[0076] The indoor unit of the air conditioner includes a drive motor 700, which is installed on the side of the panel 101 facing the back plate, and the end of the output shaft of the drive motor 700 is arranged in the installation cavity 400. The drive motor 700 is used to drive the air guide plate 600 to rotate. The axial direction of the output shaft of the drive motor 700 is the same as the length direction of the air guide plate 600.

[0077] The air conditioner indoor unit includes a connector 800 . At least a portion of the connector 800 is disposed in the installation cavity 400 . One end of the connector 800 is connected to a side of the air guide plate 600 close to the panel 101 .

[0079] Through the above technical solution, the connecting member 800 and the output shaft of the driving motor 700 can be connected or separated without using tools, that is, the disassembly and installation of the air guide plate 600 can be completed through the elastic deformation of the connecting member 800 in the avoidance cavity 500. This not only facilitates the installation, disassembly and maintenance of the air guide plate 600, but also makes the appearance of the panel 101 simple.

[0080] The provision of the avoidance cavity 500 facilitates and speeds the connection between the connection hole 801 and the output shaft of the drive motor 700, improves the positioning efficiency and the installation efficiency, and further facilitates replacement and maintenance.
