[0035] like Figure 1-Figure 7 and Fig. 9 As shown, the first air guide device includes a first air guide plate 1 and a first buffer belt 2 , and the first buffer belt 2 is arranged at the edge of the first air guide plate 1 .

[0036] The edge of the first air guide plate 1 is provided with a first buffer zone 2, which can play a buffering role, and can prevent the first air guide plate 1 from colliding with other components (such as: the body of the air conditioner indoor unit or the second air guide plate 3 described below, etc.), avoiding collision friction sound and collision paint scratching, and the first buffer zone 2 can beautify the assembly wave deformation gap between the first air guide plate 1 and other components. In addition, during the air conditioner test process, adding the first buffer zone 2 can also effectively solve the problems of abnormal sound and condensation in the first air guide plate 1 caused by thermal expansion and contraction, and improve the user experience.

[0037] In some exemplary embodiments, the first air guide plate 1 includes a first edge 11 and a second edge 12 extending along the length direction and arranged opposite to each other, wherein the first edge 11 may be the upper edge of the first air guide plate 1 and the second edge 12 may be the lower edge of the first air guide plate 1 .
