For those skilled in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0030] First, the existing air conditioner sub-unit is described.

[0031] As an auxiliary component of the air conditioner, the existing air conditioner sub-unit has the main functions of humidifying and purifying the air. The air conditioner sub-unit and the indoor unit are two separate entities. After the air conditioner is installed, the sub-unit can be placed in the reserved chamber inside the indoor unit, or it can be taken out separately for operation. Due to the limited space inside the indoor unit, it is inconvenient to take out the sub-unit after it is placed in the reserved chamber of the indoor unit. In order to solve this problem, in the prior art, an openable chamber cover is provided at the chamber where the sub-unit is placed on the indoor unit, and a pulley is provided on the base of the sub-unit. After opening the chamber cover, the sub-unit can be pulled out by the pulley, but such a solution will increase the overall height of the sub-unit. Under the premise that the internal space of the indoor unit itself is limited, the internal space of the indoor unit is further occupied, resulting in the overall height of the indoor unit having to be increased. For this reason, the following implementation method is proposed.

[0032] Embodiment 1

[0033] like Figure 1-Figure 7 As shown, in order to solve the problem that the sub-unit of the existing air conditioner 1 is inconvenient to be taken out from the sub-unit chamber 111 of the indoor unit 11, the air conditioner 1 of the utility model includes an indoor unit 11 and an air conditioner sub-unit 12, the bottom of the indoor unit 11 is provided with a sub-unit chamber 111, the air conditioner sub-unit 12 can be placed in the sub-unit chamber 111, the sub-unit chamber 111 also includes a chamber cover 112, the chamber cover 112 is a detachable cover arranged at the opening of the sub-unit chamber 111, and a slide groove 113 is arranged at the bottom of the sub-unit chamber 111. The sub-unit includes a housing 121, a buckle is arranged on the side wall of the housing 121, and the user can grasp the air conditioner sub-unit 12 through the buckle, and a supporting foot is arranged at the bottom of the sub-unit, and the supporting foot can slide in the slide groove 113, so that the sub-unit can be pulled out or pushed into the sub-unit chamber 111.

[0034] When the above-mentioned embodiment is adopted, during the use of the air conditioner 1 of the utility model, if the air conditioner sub-unit 12 needs to be taken out, the user can first open the chamber cover 112 of the sub-unit chamber 111, and then only need to grasp the buckle on the side wall of the air conditioner sub-unit 12 to grab the air conditioner sub-unit 12, pull the air conditioner sub-unit 12 outward, and the air conditioner sub-unit 12 can slide outward along the slide groove 113 at the bottom of the sub-unit chamber 111, so that the air conditioner sub-unit 12 is conveniently taken out from the sub-unit chamber 111 of the indoor unit 11, solving the problem that the sub-unit of the existing air conditioner 1 is inconvenient to be taken out of the sub-unit chamber 111 of the indoor unit 11.

[0035] Embodiment 2

[0036] The above-mentioned embodiment 1 introduces a method of setting a handle on the housing 121 of the air conditioner sub-unit 12, which solves the problem that the sub-unit of the existing air conditioner 1 is inconvenient to be taken out from the sub-unit chamber 111 of the indoor unit 11. However, for the consideration of safety and stability during the process of pulling out the air conditioner sub-unit 12, only setting a handle may cause the air conditioner sub-unit 12 to be skewed due to uneven force. For this reason, this embodiment is proposed. Figure 5-Figure 7 As shown, in this embodiment, the handle includes a first handle 1211 and a second handle 1212, the first handle 1211 is arranged on the first side wall of the shell 121, and the second handle 1212 is arranged on the second side wall of the shell 121, the first side wall is located opposite to the second side wall, and the first handle 1211 and / or the second handle 1212 are grooves recessed toward the interior of the air conditioner sub-unit 12.

[0037] When the above-mentioned implementation mode is adopted, compared with the solution in the aforementioned embodiment one, by providing the first handle 1211 and the second handle 1212, and providing the first handle 1211 and the second handle 1212 on two opposite side walls, when the user pulls out the air conditioner sub-unit 12, since the left and right side walls of the air conditioner sub-unit 12 are subjected to force, the force on the air conditioner sub-unit 12 is more uniform, thereby avoiding skewing during the pulling-out process.

[0038] In addition, regarding the first handle 1211 and the second handle 1212 mentioned above being set in the form of a groove, compared with setting the first handle 1211 and the second handle 1212 in the form of a protrusion, the groove can avoid occupying the space in the horizontal direction of the sub-unit chamber 111, thereby avoiding the increase in the length or width in the horizontal direction of the indoor unit 11 of the air conditioner 1. It can be understood by those skilled in the art that the first handle 1211 and the second handle 1212 can be designed according to actual needs. For example, if the sub-unit chamber 111 has enough space in the horizontal direction, the first handle 1211 and the second handle 1212 can be both set in the form of a protrusion, or one of the first handle 1211 and the second handle 1212 can be set in the form of a groove and the other can be set in the form of a protrusion. These changes do not exceed the technical principle of the utility model, and therefore will also be included in the protection scope of the utility model. In addition, regarding the shapes of the first buckle 1211 and the second buckle 1212, those skilled in the art may set the first buckle 1211 and the second buckle 1212 to be one of square, rectangular or elliptical shapes, or choose to set the first buckle 1211 and the second buckle 1212 to be one of the above-mentioned common shapes, or to set them to other common shapes, and these changes are also within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0039] The main embodiments of the present invention have been introduced above, and some preferred embodiments of the present invention will be introduced next.

[0040] In a possible implementation, Figure 5-Figure 7 As shown, the inner wall of the first buckle 1211 and / or the second buckle 1212 is tilted upward, and the tilt angle is 10° or other suitable tilt angles.

[0041] The advantage of the above embodiment is that: since it is inevitable to apply vertical force to the air conditioner sub-unit 12 during the process of taking the air conditioner sub-unit 12 out of the sub-unit chamber 111 and after taking it out, in order to facilitate the user to better apply vertical force to the air conditioner sub-unit 12, in this embodiment, the inner walls of the first handle 1211 and the second handle 1212 are set to be inclined upward. In this way, when the user's hands are buckled into the first handle 1211 and the second handle 1212, the upwardly inclined inner walls of the first handle 1211 and the second handle 1212 can provide the user's hands with a more stable grasping posture, thereby reducing the possibility of the user dropping the hand, and further reducing the risk of the air conditioner sub-unit 12 being broken.

[0042] In a possible implementation, strip-shaped protrusions are provided on the inner walls of the first buckle 1211 and / or the second buckle 1212 .

[0043] The advantage of the above embodiment is that similar to the effect mentioned in the aforementioned embodiment, when the user grabs the air conditioner sub-unit 12, if the grip between the user's hands and the first handle 1211 and the second handle 1212 is unstable, the air conditioner sub-unit 12 may fall off the user's hands and break. For this reason, in the present embodiment, strip-shaped protrusions are provided on the inner walls of the first handle 1211 and the second handle 1212, and the length direction of the strip-shaped protrusions is consistent with the length direction of the first handle 1211 and the second handle 1212, that is, the length direction of the strip-shaped protrusions is perpendicular to the direction of the user's fingers. In this way, when the user grabs the air conditioner sub-unit 12 through the first handle 1211 and the second handle 1212, due to the presence of the strip-shaped protrusions, the friction between the user's hands and the first handle 1211 and the second handle 1212 will increase, thereby further reducing the possibility of the user slipping out of the hand and ensuring the safety of the air conditioner sub-unit 12.

[0044] In addition, regarding the above-mentioned strip-shaped protrusions, those skilled in the art will understand that the above-mentioned strip-shaped protrusions only serve as an illustrative description and do not serve as a limitation on the internal structure of the first buckle 1211 and the second buckle 1212. Those skilled in the art may also provide protrusions of other shapes on the inner walls of the first buckle 1211 and the second buckle 1212, such as dot-shaped protrusions or spherical protrusions, etc. As long as they can increase the friction between the first buckle 1211 and the second buckle 1212 and the user's hands, these common protrusion forms do not exceed the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0045] The above only mentions the process of drawing the air conditioner sub-unit 12 out of the sub-unit chamber 111 along the slide groove 113 at the bottom of the sub-unit chamber 111, and does not mention the process of placing the air conditioner sub-unit 12 into the sub-unit chamber 111. In actual use, since the sub-unit chamber 111 is located at a relatively lower position of the indoor unit 11 as a whole, and the vertical air conditioner 1 is usually placed directly on the ground, when the user needs to place the air conditioner sub-unit 12 into the sub-unit chamber 111, he needs to bend down to operate, and since the slide groove 113 at the bottom of the sub-unit chamber 111 is located in the user's blind spot, the user may need to try multiple times to place the air conditioner sub-unit 12 into the slide groove 113. For this reason, this embodiment is proposed. In one possible embodiment, Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, a guiding inclined surface 1131 is provided at the opening of the slide slot 113 at the bottom of the sub-machine chamber 111, and the guiding inclined surface 1131 expands outward in a trumpet shape.

[0046] The advantage of the above embodiment is that by providing an outward-expanding guide slope 1131 at the opening of the slide groove 113 at the bottom of the sub-unit chamber 111, the opening area of ​​the slide groove 113 is increased, so that the user can more easily align the supporting feet of the air conditioner sub-unit 12 with the slide groove 113, and then more accurately place the air conditioner sub-unit 12 into the sub-unit chamber 111.

[0047] After the user places the air conditioner sub-unit 12 into the sub-unit chamber 111, if the air conditioner sub-unit 12 is not fixed, the air conditioner sub-unit 12 will still have the risk of sliding along the slide groove 113. When the air conditioner sub-unit 12 slides, vibration noise will inevitably occur, which will reduce the user's experience. In order to solve this problem, this embodiment is proposed. In a possible embodiment, a locking device is also provided in the slide groove 113 at the bottom of the sub-unit chamber 111, and the locking device is used to lock the air conditioner sub-unit 12.

[0048] In the case of adopting the above embodiment, after the user pushes the air conditioner sub-unit 12 into the sub-unit chamber 111 along the slide groove 113, when the air conditioner sub-unit 12 moves to the target position, the locking device in the slide groove 113 will lock the air conditioner sub-unit 12, thereby preventing the air conditioner sub-unit 12 from continuing to move in the slide groove 113 and generating noise. It can be understood by those skilled in the art that the locking device can be a buckle or a claw, and the corresponding air conditioner sub-unit 12 is provided with a clamping protrusion. When the air conditioner sub-unit 12 moves to a suitable position, the clamping protrusion will be clamped on the buckle or the claw to achieve the fixation of the air conditioner sub-unit 12. Or other common locking structures, as long as they can play the effect of locking and fixing the air conditioner sub-unit 12, these changes are all within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0049] It should be noted that the above-mentioned implementation mode is only used to illustrate the principle of the utility model, and is not intended to limit the protection scope of the utility model. Without departing from the principle of the utility model, those skilled in the art can adjust the above-mentioned structure so that the utility model can be applied to more specific application scenarios.

[0050] So far, the technical solution of the present invention has been described in conjunction with the preferred embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings. However, it is easy for those skilled in the art to understand that the protection scope of the present invention is obviously not limited to these specific embodiments. Without departing from the principle of the present invention, those skilled in the art can make equivalent changes or substitutions to the relevant technical features, and the technical solutions after these changes or substitutions will fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
