[0059] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and cannot be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0060] Reference below Figure 1-Figure 25 An air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present utility model is described.

[0061] Reference Figure 7 and Figure 8According to an embodiment of the utility model, the air conditioner comprises a casing 1, an air duct component 3 and an inner air inlet grille 2. The casing 1 is formed with a first air inlet 12, the air duct component 3 is arranged in the casing 1, the air duct component 3 comprises an air duct volute 32 and a wind wheel 33, the wind wheel 33 is arranged in the air duct volute 32, the air duct volute 32 has an air flow inlet 31 and an air flow outlet, an air inlet cavity 13 is defined between the casing 1 and the air duct component 3, and the air inlet cavity 13 communicates with the first air inlet 12 and the air flow inlet 31. When the wind wheel 33 is running, the wind wheel 33 can drive the indoor air to enter the air inlet cavity 13 through the first air inlet 12, and then flow into the air flow inlet 31, and finally blow out from the air flow outlet.

[0062] The inner air inlet grille 2 is arranged in the air inlet cavity 13, and the inner air inlet grille 2 can be adjacent to the first air inlet 12 and at least partially arranged opposite to the first air inlet 12. The inner air inlet grille 2 is used to guide the airflow to the airflow inlet 31. In the process of the airflow flowing from the first air inlet 12 to the airflow inlet 31 of the air duct component 3, and in the process of the airflow flowing through the inner air inlet grille 2, the inner air inlet grille 2 can guide the airflow entering the air inlet cavity 13, and can quickly guide the airflow entering the air inlet cavity 13 to the airflow inlet 31, and can reduce the flow loss of the airflow in the process of the airflow flowing from the first air inlet 12 to the airflow inlet 31 of the air duct component 3, which is conducive to increasing the air intake.

[0063] According to the air conditioner of the embodiment of the utility model, by setting an inner air inlet grille 2 in the air inlet cavity 13, a guiding effect can be played on the airflow entering the air inlet cavity 13 through the first air inlet port 12. The airflow entering the air inlet cavity 13 can be guided to the airflow inlet 31 under the guidance of the inner air inlet grille 2, which can reduce the flow loss of the airflow in the process of flowing from the first air inlet port 12 to the airflow inlet 31 of the air duct component 3, which is beneficial to increase the air intake volume.

[0064] Reference Fig.12 and Fig.13 According to some embodiments of the utility model, the plane where the first air inlet 12 is located is the first air inlet plane 120, the plane where the airflow inlet 31 is located is the second air inlet plane 121, and there is an angle between the second air inlet plane 121 and the first air inlet plane 120. The angle between the second air inlet plane 121 and the first air inlet plane 120 means that the angle α between the second air inlet plane 121 and the first air inlet plane 120 is greater than zero. When there is an angle between the first air inlet 12 on the housing 1 and the plane where the airflow inlet 31 of the air duct component 3 is located, the airflow entering the air inlet cavity 13 through the first air inlet 12 changes its flow direction during the flow process and then flows to the airflow inlet 31. By providing an inner air inlet grille 2 with a flow-guiding function in the air inlet cavity 13, the airflow can flow to the airflow inlet 31 more smoothly, reduce flow losses, and help increase the air intake.

[0065] For example, in some embodiments of the present invention, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 6 The air conditioner is a split-type floor-standing air conditioner. The air conditioner may include an air-conditioning indoor unit 100 and an air-conditioning outdoor unit. The casing 1 of the air-conditioning indoor unit 100 includes a front casing component 6, a rear casing component 7, a top cover 9 and a base 10. The front casing component 6 and the rear casing component 7 are both arranged on the base 10. The front casing component 6 is connected to the rear casing component 7 and the front casing component 6 is connected to the front side of the rear casing component 7. The top cover 9 is arranged on the top of the front casing component 6 and the rear casing component 7.

[0066] The front shell component 6 includes an air outlet frame assembly 61 and an air inlet frame assembly 1a. The air outlet frame assembly 61 is arranged above the air inlet frame assembly 1a and connected to the air inlet frame assembly 1a. The air outlet frame assembly 61 includes an air outlet frame 611 and an air guide plate 613. The front side of the air outlet frame 611 is formed with an air outlet 612. The air guide plate 613 is rotatably arranged at the air outlet 612. The air inlet frame assembly 1a includes an air inlet frame 11 and an outer air inlet grille 5. The left and right sides of the air inlet frame 11 are formed with a first air inlet 12. The bottom of the air inlet frame 11 is also formed with a second air inlet 17. The outer air inlet grille 5 is installed at the first air inlet 12. The air inlet frame 11 is also provided with an inner air inlet grille 2. The inner air inlet grille 2 is adjacent to the first air inlet 12 and is arranged substantially opposite to the first air inlet 12. At least part of the air inlet cavity 13 is defined in the air inlet frame 11. The inner air inlet grille 2 is located in the air inlet cavity 13.

[0067] An air inlet notch 101 extending in the left-right direction is formed at the front end of the base 10. The air inlet notch 101 is located below the second air inlet 17. The second air inlet 17 is formed on the bottom wall of the air inlet frame 11 and is covered with a lower filter 42. The lower filter 42 is detachably arranged at the air inlet frame 11 and can be installed or removed from the bottom of the air inlet frame 11.

[0068] The rear shell component 7 includes a side panel 71 and a back panel 72 . There are two side panels 71 . The two side panels 71 are respectively connected to the left and right ends of the back panel 72 and to the front side of the back panel 72 . The air outlet frame 611 and the air inlet frame 11 are both connected to the front ends of the two side panels 71 .

[0069] The heat exchange and air supply assembly 3a is arranged in the housing 1, and the heat exchange and air supply assembly 3a includes a heat exchanger component 4 and an air duct component 3. The heat exchanger component 4 is arranged in the housing 1 and is located above the air duct component 3. The air duct component 3 includes an air duct volute 32 and a wind wheel 33 arranged in the air duct volute 32. The air duct volute 32 is formed with an air flow inlet 31 and an air flow outlet. The air flow inlet 31 is formed at the front side of the air duct volute 32 and is located at the rear side of the air inlet cavity 13, and the air flow outlet is formed at the rear side of the heat exchanger component 4. The plane where the first air inlet 12 is located is the first air inlet plane 120, and the plane where the air flow inlet 31 is located is the second air inlet plane 121. Since the air flow inlet 31 is formed at the front side of the air duct volute 32 and is located at the rear side of the air inlet cavity 13, there is an angle α between the second air inlet plane 121 and the first air inlet plane 120, and the angle α>0°.

[0070] When the air-conditioning indoor unit 100 is working, the wind wheel 33 drives the air flow to enter from the first air inlet 12 and the second air inlet 17 respectively. After the air flow of the first air inlet 12 and the second air inlet 17 is filtered by the filter and the lower filter 42 respectively, the filtered air flow flows into the air duct volute 32 through the air flow inlet 31, and the wind wheel 33 drives the air flow to flow to the heat exchanger component 4 through the air flow outlet. The air flow exchanges heat when flowing through the heat exchanger component 4. After the heat exchange, the air flow passes through the air outlet frame 611 and is blown into the room through the air outlet 612 to heat up or cool down the room.

[0071] The filtered airflow from the first air inlet 12 is guided by the inner air inlet grille 2 , thereby increasing the amount of airflow from the first air inlet plane 120 to the airflow inlet 31 .

[0072] Reference Fig.14 According to some embodiments of the utility model, the inner air inlet grille 2 includes a plurality of first grille ribs 21 arranged at intervals, and a first air flow channel 211 is defined between adjacent first grille ribs 21. The wall surface of the first grille ribs 21 facing the first air flow channel 211 is formed as a guide surface 212, and the guide surface 212 has an angle with the first air inlet plane 120 and the second air inlet plane 121. For example, the angle β between the guide surface 212 and the first air inlet plane 120, the angle γ between the guide surface 212 and the second air inlet plane 121, and the angle β and the angle γ are both greater than zero, which can ensure that there is a certain angle between the guide surface 212 and the first air inlet plane 120 and the second air inlet plane 121, and ensure that the guide surface 212 has a guiding effect on the air flow in the air inlet cavity 13, and can guide the air flow to the air flow inlet 31, thereby effectively increasing the air flow entering the air flow inlet 31.

[0073] In the process of the airflow entering the air inlet cavity 13 through the first air inlet port 12 and flowing through the inner air inlet grille 2, the airflow flows through the inner air inlet grille 2 through the first airflow channel 211 of the inner air inlet grille 2. In the process of the airflow flowing through the first airflow channel 211 of the inner air inlet grille 2, the multiple guide surfaces 212 of the multiple first airflow channels 211 can guide the flow direction of the airflow entering the air inlet cavity 13, so that more airflow is guided to the airflow inlet 31 of the air duct component 3, thereby reducing the flow loss of the airflow and effectively increasing the airflow amount entering the airflow inlet 31.

[0074] In the description of the present invention, "plurality" means two or more.

[0075] Reference Fig.12 According to some embodiments of the utility model, the angle between the first air inlet plane 120 and the second air inlet plane 121 is the first preset angle α, the angle between the guide surface 212 and the second air inlet plane 121 is the second preset angle γ, and the ratio of the second preset angle γ to the first preset angle α ranges from 1 / 3 to 2 / 3. For example, the ratio of the second preset angle γ to the first preset angle α can be 2 / 5, 7 / 15, 8 / 15, 3 / 5, etc. The first preset angle can range from 67.5° to 135°. For example, the first preset angle is 90°, and the second preset angle can range from 30° to 60°; for example, the second preset angle is 45°.

[0076] By setting the ratio range of the second preset angle γ to the first preset angle α to be greater than 1 / 3, the change in flow direction can be smaller during the process of the airflow flowing from the first air inlet 12 into the air inlet cavity 13 and flowing through the guide surface 212, thereby reducing flow losses; by setting the ratio range of the second preset angle γ to the first preset angle α to be less than 2 / 3, the change in flow direction can be smaller during the process of the airflow flowing from the guide surface 212 to the airflow inlet 31, thereby reducing flow losses.

[0077] By setting the ratio of the second preset angle γ to the first preset angle α in the range of 1 / 3 to 2 / 3, the guiding effect of the guide surface 212 can be effectively achieved, and in the process of the airflow flowing from the first air inlet 12 to the airflow inlet 31 of the air duct component 3, the change in the flow direction of the airflow is relatively small. For example, when the angle between the first air inlet surface and the second air inlet surface is 90°, when the above-mentioned inner air inlet grille 2 is not set, the airflow changes direction by 90° in the process of flowing from the first air inlet 12 to the airflow inlet 31. By setting the above-mentioned inner air inlet grille 2 and making the ratio of the second preset angle γ to the first preset angle α in the range of 1 / 3 to 2 / 3, the change in the flow direction of the airflow can be divided into two times, so that the angle change of the flow direction each time is small. For example, the two changes in the flow direction can be made to be approximately 45°, so as to better reduce the flow loss and effectively improve the airflow in the air inlet cavity 13 that is guided to the airflow inlet 31 through the guide surface 212.

[0078] Reference Figure 7 and Fig.21 According to some embodiments of the utility model, the first air inlet 12 is formed on the left side of the casing 1, and the air flow inlet 31 is formed on the front side of the air duct volute 32. The air flow inlet 31 is located on the rear side of the air inlet cavity 13. The air can enter the air inlet cavity 13 through the left side of the casing 1. In the process of flowing through the inner air inlet grille 2, the air flow is guided by the inner air inlet grille 2 so that the air flow gradually flows backward to the air flow inlet 31, thereby reducing the flow loss and facilitating increasing the air intake volume.

[0079] Reference Figure 7 and Fig.21 According to some embodiments of the utility model, the first air inlet 12 is formed on the right side of the casing 1, the air flow inlet 31 is formed on the front side of the air duct volute 32, and the air flow inlet 31 is located on the rear side of the air inlet cavity 13. The air can enter the air inlet cavity 13 through the right side of the casing 1. In the process of flowing through the inner air inlet grille 2, the air flow is guided by the inner air inlet grille 2 so that the air flow gradually flows backward to the air flow inlet 31, thereby reducing the flow loss and facilitating increasing the air intake volume.

In the process of flowing through the inner air inlet grille 2, the air flow is guided by the inner air inlet grille 2 so that the air flow gradually flows backward to the air flow inlet 31, thereby reducing the flow loss and facilitating the increase of the air intake volume.

For example, the inner air intake grille 2 is provided with a hook 111, and the housing 1 is provided with a hole 22 that matches the hook 111; or, the housing 1 is provided with a hook 111, and the inner air intake grille 2 is provided with a hole 22 that matches the hook 111. When the inner air intake grille 2 is assembled with the housing 1, the hook 111 is inserted into the hole 22, so that the inner air intake grille 2 can be installed on the housing 1. The hook 111 and the hole 22 are connected by snapping, so that the connection between the inner air intake grille 2 and the housing 1 is simple and has strong stability, which facilitates the removal or installation of the inner air intake grille 2 on the housing 1, and can improve the removal or installation speed of the inner air intake grille 2 on the housing 1.

[0083] For example, when the casing 1 includes the above-mentioned air inlet frame 11, a hook 111 is provided on one of the inner air inlet grille 2 and the air inlet frame 11 and a hole 22 is provided on the other. The installation process of the inner air inlet grille 2 on the casing 1 can be completed by the snap connection between the hook 111 and the hole 22; the disassembly process of the inner air inlet grille 2 on the casing 1 can be completed by releasing the cooperation between the hook 111 and the hole 22.

Among them, both ends of the inner air inlet grille 2 in the width direction are provided with a clamping hole 22, and a corresponding position on the air inlet frame 11 is provided with a clamping hook 111. The clamping hook 111 and the clamping hole 22 are clamped and connected, so that both ends of the inner air inlet grille 2 in the width direction are connected to the air inlet frame 11.

[0085] For example, both ends of the inner air intake grille 2 in the width direction are provided with a plurality of latch holes 22, and the plurality of latch holes 22 located at the same end of the inner air intake grille 2 in the width direction are arranged at intervals in the up-down direction, and a plurality of latch hooks 111 arranged at intervals in the up-down direction are formed at positions corresponding to the same end of the inner air intake grille 2 in the width direction on the air intake frame 11, and the plurality of latch hooks 111 are respectively inserted into the plurality of latch holes 22, which can improve the stability of the connection between the inner air intake grille 2 and the air intake frame 11.

[0086] For example, when installing the inner air intake grille 2, the engagement between the hook 111 and the engagement hole 22 can complete the assembly of the two ends of the inner air intake grille 2 in the width direction on the air intake frame 11; when disassembling the inner air intake grille 2, the engagement between the hook 111 and the engagement hole 22 can be released to complete the disassembly of the two ends of the inner air intake grille 2 in the width direction on the air intake frame 11. Fig.19 According to some embodiments of the present invention, the hook portion 112 of the hook 111 extends upward. The hook portion 112 of the hook 111 extends upward, which can form a hook force on the hook hole 22, and the hook 111 has an upward supporting force on the inner air intake grille 2, so that the connection between the inner air intake grille 2 and the air intake frame 11 has a strong stability.

[0087] The inner air intake grille 2 can be installed to or removed from the air intake frame 11 in the up-down direction. When installing the inner air intake grille 2, the inner air intake grille 2 can be installed in the air intake frame 11 from top to bottom. When the hook 111 on the air intake frame 11 is inserted into the hook hole 22 of the inner air intake grille 2, the inner air intake grille 2 cannot move downward further under the limitation and support of the hook 111. At this time, the inner air intake grille 2 is installed in place. When removing the inner air intake grille 2, the inner air intake grille 2 can be moved upward until the hook hole 22 on the inner air intake grille 2 is disengaged from the hook 111 on the air intake frame 11. At this time, the inner air intake grille 2 can be removed from the air intake frame 11 and taken out.

[0088] Reference Fig.19According to some embodiments of the utility model, a flange structure 113 extending toward the inner side of the air inlet frame 11 is formed at the top of the air inlet frame 11, and the upper edge 25 of the inner air inlet grille 2 includes a first upper edge 251, and the first upper edge 251 is located below the flange structure 113. The distance between the first upper edge 251 and the flange structure 113 in the vertical direction is a first distance, and the distance between the bottom surface of the hook 111 and the bottom wall of the clamping hole 22 in the vertical direction is a second distance, and the first distance is greater than the second distance. The flange structure 113 can enhance the structural strength of the top of the air inlet frame 11. The first distance w1 is greater than the second distance w2, which can ensure that the inner air inlet grille 2 can be removed from the air inlet frame 11. When the inner air intake grille 2 needs to be removed, by making the first spacing w2 larger than the second spacing w2, sufficient space can be reserved for the upward movement of the inner air intake grille 2 during the upward movement of the inner air intake grille 2, thereby ensuring that the card hole 22 on the inner air intake grille 2 can be separated from the card connection of the card hook 111, thereby allowing the inner air intake grille 2 to be smoothly removed from the air intake frame 11.

[0089] Reference Fig.18 According to some embodiments of the present invention, at least one end of the inner air intake grille 2 along the width direction is formed with a reinforcing flange 23, for example, one end of the inner air intake grille 2 along the width direction is formed with a reinforcing flange 23 or both ends of the inner air intake grille 2 along the width direction are formed with reinforcing flanges 23. The reinforcing flange 23 can improve the overall structural strength of the inner air intake grille 2 to a certain extent and reduce deformation.

[0090] For example, both ends of the inner air inlet grille 2 in the width direction are connected to the air inlet frame 11, and at least one end of the inner air inlet grille 2 along the width direction is formed with a reinforced flange 23, and the reinforced flange 23 is connected to the air inlet frame 11 and sealed with the air inlet frame 11, which can improve the sealing effect between the inner air inlet grille 2 and the air inlet frame 11, and can avoid or reduce the airflow entering the air inlet cavity 13 from leaking out from the fitting point between the inner air inlet grille 2 and the air inlet frame 11, thereby further increasing the airflow at the airflow inlet 31.

[0091] Reference Fig.18 and Fig.25 According to some embodiments of the utility model, there is a gap 43 between the bottom surface of the inner air inlet grille 2 and the inner bottom wall 114 of the air inlet frame 11, which can leave a certain assembly error for the installation of the inner air inlet grille 2 on the casing 1, and can avoid interference between the bottom surface of the inner air inlet grille 2 and the bottom wall of the air inlet frame 11, so that the disassembly and assembly process of the inner air inlet grille 2 is smooth.

[0092] Reference Fig.14 and Fig.15According to some embodiments of the utility model, a first connection hole 24 is formed on the inner air intake grille 2, a second connection hole 15 is formed on the air intake frame 11, and a fastener 41 is inserted through the first connection hole 24 and the second connection hole 15. On the basis of the inner air intake grille 2 and the air intake frame 11 being connected by the hook 111 and the clamping hole 22, by inserting the fastener 41 through the first connection hole 24 and the second connection hole 15, the reliability and stability of the connection between the inner air intake grille 2 and the air intake frame 11 can be further improved.

[0093] Furthermore, a reinforcing rib 26 is formed on the inner air inlet grille 2, and the reinforcing rib 26 surrounds the outer peripheral side of the first connecting hole 24. The reinforcing rib 26 can enhance the structural strength of the outer peripheral side of the first connecting hole 24, and can prevent the fastener 41 from sinking due to insufficient structural strength of the first connecting hole 24 when the fastener 41 is inserted into the first connecting hole 24.

[0094] Reference Fig.16 and Fig.21 According to some embodiments of the present invention, an air guide cavity 16 is defined between the inner air inlet grille 2 and the air inlet frame 11, the air guide cavity 16 constitutes a part of the air inlet cavity 13, and the first air inlet 12 is formed on the side wall of the air guide cavity 16. The airflow enters the air guide cavity 16 through the first air inlet 12, and then can flow to the airflow inlet 31 through the guiding effect of the inner air inlet grille 2.

[0095] Furthermore, a matching flange 27 is formed at the top of the inner air inlet grille 2, and the matching flange 27 is abutted and sealed with the air inlet frame 11. The matching flange 27 can improve the overall structural strength of the inner air inlet grille 2 to a certain extent. The abutting connection between the matching flange 27 and the air inlet frame 11 can facilitate the disassembly of the top of the inner air inlet grille 2 and the air inlet frame 11, and the abutting and sealing between the matching flange 27 and the air inlet frame 11 can improve the sealing match between the inner air inlet grille 2 and the air inlet frame 11.

[0096] By cooperating with the abutment seal between the flange 27 and the air inlet frame 11, the airflow entering the air guide cavity 16 can be prevented or reduced from leaking out from the top of the inner air inlet grille 2 and the air inlet frame 11, thereby further improving the airflow entering the airflow inlet 31 through the air guide cavity 16.

[0097] Reference Figure 8 and Fig.24According to some embodiments of the utility model, the housing 1 includes an air inlet frame 11, a first air inlet 12 is formed on a side wall of the air inlet frame 11, for example, the first air inlet 12 can be formed on at least one of the left wall and the right wall of the air inlet frame 11, the first air inlet 12 extends in the up-down direction, an air inlet cavity 13 is defined between the air inlet frame 11 and the air duct component 3, an inner air inlet grille 2 is installed in the air inlet frame 11, the inner air inlet grille 2 extends in the up-down direction, and a second air inlet 17 is formed on the bottom wall of the air inlet frame 11. By forming the first air inlet 12 on the side wall of the air inlet frame 11 and forming the second air inlet 17 on the bottom wall of the air inlet frame 11, the air inlet area can be increased, so that air enters from different directions of the housing 1, and the air intake volume is increased.

[0098] Among them, the bottom wall of the air inlet frame 11 is installed with a lower filter 42 for covering the second air inlet 17. The second air inlet 17 is covered with the lower filter 42, which can filter dust and other impurities in the air flow entering from the second air inlet 17, thereby improving the air quality.

[0099] Further, there is a gap 43 between the bottom surface of the inner air inlet grille 2 and the bottom wall of the air inlet frame 11, and the gap 43 between the bottom surface of the inner air inlet grille 2 and the bottom wall of the air inlet frame 11 can be used to avoid the lower filter 42. The lower filter 42 is located at the bottom wall of the air inlet frame 11, and there is a gap 43 between the bottom surface of the inner air inlet grille 2 and the bottom wall of the air inlet frame 11, which can form an installation avoidance for the lower filter 42, so that the lower filter 42 can be accommodated between the bottom surface of the inner air inlet grille 2 and the bottom wall of the air inlet frame 11, and then the airflow entering from the second air inlet 17 can be filtered. There is a gap 43 between the bottom surface of the inner air inlet grille 2 and the bottom wall of the air inlet frame 11, and the gap 43 can form an installation avoidance for the lower filter 42, which is convenient for the removal or installation of the lower filter 42.

[0100] Reference Fig.24 According to some embodiments of the present invention, the lower filter 42 can be installed into the air inlet frame 11 through the first air inlet 12 or can be taken out from the air inlet frame 11 through the first air inlet 12. The lower filter 42 is detachably arranged at the bottom wall of the air inlet frame 11 of the housing 1, and the lower filter 42 is installed into the air inlet frame 11 through the first air inlet 12 or taken out from the air inlet frame 11, which is convenient for installation or removal of the lower filter 42, and convenient for maintenance and replacement of the lower filter 42.

[0101] For example, when installing the lower filter 42, the lower filter 42 is installed into the air inlet frame 11 from the first air inlet 12; when removing the lower filter 42, the lower filter 42 is removed from the air inlet frame 11 from the first air inlet 12. By using at least a portion of the first air inlet 12 as a disassembly opening of the lower filter 42, it is convenient to take the lower filter 42 out of the side of the housing 1 or install it into the housing 1, making it more convenient to disassemble and assemble the lower filter 42, and it is possible to omit an additional disassembly opening separately provided for disassembly and assembly of the lower filter 42.

[0102] Reference Fig.18 and Fig.24 According to some embodiments of the utility model, the lower end of the inner air inlet grille 2 is recessed in a direction away from the first air inlet 12 to form an escape space 28. The escape space 28 formed at the lower end of the inner air inlet grille 2 is used to avoid deformation of the lower filter 42 during the disassembly process. The escape space 28 can form a certain escape for the disassembly of the lower filter 42, avoid interference between the lower filter 42 and the inner air inlet grille 2 during the disassembly process of the lower filter 42, and facilitate the disassembly of the lower filter 42.

[0103] For example, when removing or installing the lower filter 42, at least a portion of the lower filter 42 close to the first air inlet 12 will arch in a direction toward the bottom wall away from the air inlet frame 11 and produce a certain deformation, so that the length of the lower filter 42 in the left-right direction will be shortened, which can facilitate the removal or installation of the lower filter 42.

[0104] By recessing the lower end of the inner air inlet grille 2 in a direction away from the first air inlet port 12 to form an escape space 28, it can be ensured that the arched and deformed portion of the lower filter 42 close to the first air inlet port 12 can be accommodated in the escape space 28 formed at the lower end of the inner air inlet grille 2, thereby facilitating the removal or installation of the lower filter 42.
