When the ceiling keel 42 abuts against the bottom wall of the avoidance groove 11, the air conditioner 100 is installed in place and cannot move upward any further, which can convey the information that the installation is in place to the user.

[0045] According to some embodiments of the present invention, reference Figure 1 The avoidance groove 11 passes through the opposite sides of the housing 10 along the first direction, and the housing 10 defines a first accommodating chamber 13 and a second accommodating chamber 14, which are respectively located on the opposite sides of the avoidance groove 11 along the second direction (e.g., the e2 direction in the figure), and the second direction, the first direction, and the up-down direction are perpendicular to each other. By defining the first accommodating chamber 13 and the second accommodating chamber 14 in the housing 10, and making the first accommodating chamber 13 and the second accommodating chamber 14 respectively located on the opposite sides of the avoidance groove 11 along the second direction, the air conditioner 100 can make full use of the space on both sides of the keel of the indoor ceiling 40 when it is installed on the indoor ceiling 40, so as to arrange the air conditioning components.

[0046] Part of the air conditioning assembly is disposed in the first accommodating chamber 13 and the other part of the air conditioning assembly is disposed in the second accommodating chamber 14. By disposing part of the air conditioning assembly in the first accommodating chamber 13 and the other part of the air conditioning assembly in the second accommodating chamber 14, the air conditioning assembly can fully utilize the space of the first accommodating chamber 13 and the second accommodating chamber 14, making the internal structure of the air conditioner 100 compact.

[0047] For example, the air conditioner 100 may be an integrated air conditioner 100 , and the air conditioning components of the integrated air conditioner 100 include an indoor air supply component and an outdoor exhaust component. The indoor air supply component is located in the first accommodating chamber 13 , and the outdoor exhaust component may be located in the second accommodating chamber 14 .

[0049] According to some embodiments of the present invention, reference Figure 1-Figure 3 The casing 10 includes a panel 15, a first shell 16, and a second shell 17. The first shell 16 and the second shell 17 are both connected to the upper surface of the panel 15. The first shell 16 and the second shell 17 are arranged spaced apart along the second direction. A avoidance groove 11 is defined between the first shell 16 and the second shell 17. A first accommodating cavity 13 is defined between the first shell 16 and the panel 15, and a second accommodating cavity 14 is defined between the second shell 17 and the panel 15. By making the casing 10 include the panel 15, the first shell 16, and the second shell 17, the air conditioner 100 can make full use of the space on both sides of the ceiling keel 42 when it is installed on the indoor ceiling 40. By defining the first accommodating cavity 13 between the first shell 16 and the panel 15, and defining the second accommodating cavity 14 between the second shell 17 and the panel 15, the space on both sides of the ceiling keel 42 can be fully utilized to arrange the air conditioning components, so that the air conditioner 100 has a compact structure.

[0050] The panel 15 is provided with an air outlet 12. By providing the air outlet 12 on the panel 15, the air flow regulated by the air conditioning component can be blown into the room, so as to achieve the effect of changing the indoor air temperature.

[0051] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the first housing 16 and the panel 15 are detachably connected, so as to facilitate the maintenance and repair of the components in the first accommodating cavity 13. For example, the first housing 16 and the panel 15 may be connected by fasteners; for another example, the first housing 16 and the panel 15 may be connected by fasteners and a snap-fit ​​structure.

[0052] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the second housing 17 and the panel 15 are detachably connected, so as to facilitate the maintenance and repair of the components in the second accommodating cavity 14. For example, the second housing 17 and the panel 15 may be connected by fasteners; for another example, the second housing 17 and the panel 15 may be connected by fasteners and a snap-fit ​​structure.

[0053] According to some embodiments of the utility model, the first shell 16 and the second shell 17 are both detachably connected to the panel 15, so that when the air conditioner 100 needs to be maintained or repaired, the panel 15 can be removed from the bottom, thereby making the maintenance or repair of the internal components of the air conditioner 100 more convenient.

[0054] According to some embodiments of the present invention, reference Figure 1 The air conditioner 100 is an integrated air conditioner 100, and the air conditioning assembly includes an indoor air supply assembly and an outdoor exhaust assembly, the indoor air supply assembly is arranged in the first accommodating chamber 13, and the outdoor exhaust assembly is arranged in the second accommodating chamber 14. By arranging the indoor air supply assembly in the first accommodating chamber 13 and the outdoor exhaust assembly in the second accommodating chamber 14, the space of the first accommodating chamber 13 and the second accommodating chamber 14 can be fully utilized, so that the internal structure of the air conditioner 100 is compact. In addition, the indoor air supply assembly can be separated from the outdoor exhaust assembly to reduce the mutual influence between the indoor air supply assembly and the outdoor exhaust assembly.

[0055] For example, the indoor air supply assembly may include an indoor heat exchanger and an indoor fan, the indoor heat exchanger and the indoor fan are arranged in the first accommodating chamber 13, and the air outlet 12 is connected to the first accommodating chamber 13. The outdoor exhaust assembly may include an outdoor heat exchanger, an outdoor fan and a compressor, and the outdoor heat exchanger, the outdoor fan and the compressor are arranged in the second accommodating chamber 14.

[0056] The air outlet 12 is connected to the first accommodating chamber 13, and an exhaust port 20 connected to the outside is formed on the housing 10. The housing 10 is also formed with a first air inlet structure 18 connected to the first accommodating chamber 13 and a second air inlet structure 19 connected to the second accommodating chamber 14. For example, the first air inlet structure 18 is formed on the outer peripheral side of the first shell 16, and the second air inlet structure 19 is formed on the outer peripheral side of the second shell 17. By providing the first air inlet structure 18 connected to the first accommodating chamber 13 and the second air inlet structure 19 connected to the second accommodating chamber 14 on the housing 10, the indoor air supply component and the outdoor air supply component can be guaranteed to work normally.

[0057] According to some embodiments of the utility model, the indoor air supply assembly includes an indoor heat exchanger, an indoor fan and a water receiving pan, the water receiving pan is arranged on the bottom surface of the indoor heat exchanger, and the water receiving pan is used to receive the condensed water generated on the indoor heat exchanger. The outdoor exhaust assembly includes an outdoor heat exchanger, an outdoor fan, a compressor and a condensed water utilization mechanism, a water storage tank is arranged on the bottom wall of the first accommodating chamber 13, the air conditioner 100 also includes a water pump, the water pump is used to transport the water in the water receiving pan to the water storage tank, and the condensed water utilization mechanism is used to spray or splash the water in the water storage tank onto the outdoor heat exchanger.

[0058] For example, when the condensate utilization mechanism includes a water wheel and a water wheel driving mechanism, the water wheel can be rotatably disposed in a water storage tank, and the water wheel driving mechanism is connected to the water wheel to drive the water wheel to rotate. During the rotation of the water wheel, the water wheel can splash the water in the water storage tank onto the outdoor heat exchanger.

[0059] For another example, when the condensate utilization mechanism includes a spray assembly, the spray assembly may include a connected spray pump and a spray member, the spray pump is used to transport water in the water storage tank to the spray member, and the spray member sprays the water onto the outdoor heat exchanger.

[0060] When the air conditioner 100 is working, for example, in cooling operation, water vapor in the air will condense into water droplets on the indoor heat exchanger and fall into the water receiving pan. By using a water pump to transport the water in the water receiving pan to the water storage tank, and using a condensed water utilization mechanism to spray or splash the water in the water storage tank onto the outdoor heat exchanger, the outdoor heat exchanger can be cooled down. The air conditioner 100 can make full use of the condensed water in the water receiving pan, consume or discharge the condensed water, and save energy. In addition, the working outdoor fan can also discharge the mist of the condensed water sprayed or splashed onto the outdoor heat exchanger to the outside.

[0061] According to some embodiments of the utility model, the water pump is disposed in the first accommodating chamber 13. By disposing the water pump in the first accommodating chamber 13, the water pump can be closer to the water receiving tray, and can pump water more directly; and the space of the first accommodating chamber 13 can be fully utilized, making the air conditioner 100 compact.

[0062] According to some embodiments of the present invention, reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 The air conditioner 100 also includes a water filter module 30. The water filter module 30 includes a water filter shell and a filter element. The filter element is arranged in the water filter shell. A water inlet interface and a water outlet interface are formed on the water filter shell. The water inlet interface is connected to the water receiving tray, and the water outlet interface is connected to the water storage tank. The condensed water stored in the water receiving tray may contain solid impurities. If the condensed water is directly pumped into the water storage tank by a pump and sprayed or splashed onto the outdoor heat exchanger, more impurities will be deposited on the outdoor heat exchanger and affect the heat exchange performance of the outdoor heat exchanger. By arranging the water filter module 30 between the water receiving tray and the water storage tank, the impurities in the condensed water can be reduced, and the dirt on the outdoor heat exchanger caused by the condensed water sprayed or splashed onto the outdoor heat exchanger can be reduced. While fully utilizing the condensed water to cool and dissipate the heat of the outdoor heat exchanger, the heat exchange performance of the outdoor heat exchanger can be guaranteed.

[0063] For example, the water pump is disposed in the first accommodating chamber 13, the inlet of the water pump is connected to the water receiving tray, the outlet of the water pump is connected to the water inlet interface via a first connecting pipe, the water outlet interface is connected to a second connecting pipe, and the other end of the second connecting pipe extends into the water storage tank. When the water pump is working, the water in the water receiving tray can enter the water pump through the inlet of the water pump, and flow out from the outlet of the water pump to the first connecting pipe, and then flow through the first connecting pipe and enter the water filter module 30 through the water inlet interface for filtration, and then flow out of the water filter module 30 from the water outlet interface after filtration, and flow into the water storage tank through the second connecting pipe.

[0064] The water filter module 30 is installed in the avoidance groove 11. By arranging the water filter module 30 in the avoidance groove 11, the space of the avoidance groove 11 can be fully utilized, so that the air conditioner 100 has a compact structure, occupies less space, and is conducive to miniaturization of the air conditioner 100.

[0065] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the water inlet interface is located at the upper end of the water filter shell, and the water outlet interface is located at the lower end of the water filter shell. By making the water inlet interface located at the upper end of the water filter shell and the water outlet interface located at the lower end of the water filter shell, the water in the water filter module 30 can fall naturally according to gravity and be filtered by the water filter module 30, thereby reducing the energy consumption of the water pump.

[0066] According to some embodiments of the utility model, the water inlet interface is located on the side of the water filter housing close to the first accommodating chamber 13, and the water outlet interface is located on the side of the water filter housing close to the second accommodating chamber 14. By arranging the water inlet interface on the side of the water filter housing close to the first accommodating chamber 13 and arranging the water outlet interface on the side of the water filter housing close to the second accommodating chamber 14, the water inlet interface can be closer to the first accommodating chamber 13, that is, the water inlet interface is closer to the water receiving tray, and the water outlet interface is closer to the second accommodating chamber 14, that is, the water outlet interface is closer to the water storage tank, so that the water inlet interface and the water outlet interface can be more conveniently connected to other components by water pipes.

[0067] According to some embodiments of the present invention, reference Figure 5 The avoidance groove 11 penetrates the upper surface of the housing 10, and the water filter module 30 is located above the ceiling keel 42. By making the avoidance groove 11 penetrate the upper surface of the housing 10, the air conditioner 100 can be installed from bottom to top during installation, and the installation process is more convenient. By arranging the water filter module 30 above the keel of the indoor ceiling 40, the water filter module 30 can be located in the upper space of the indoor ceiling 40, making full use of the upper space of the indoor ceiling 40.

[0068] For example, in the case where the ceiling plate 41 includes a plurality of spliced ​​gusset plates, the air conditioner 100 without the water filter module 30 can be first installed from bottom to top on the indoor ceiling 40, and then the water filter module 30 can be installed. Before installing the water filter module 30, some gusset plates or the return air grille are removed to form an installation opening, and the water filter module 30 is passed from the room through the installation opening into the upper space of the indoor ceiling 40, and then the water filter module 30 is installed in the avoidance groove 11.

[0069] For example, when the ceiling board 41 is a gypsum board, the air conditioner 100 without the water filter module 30 can be installed from bottom to top on the indoor ceiling 40, and then the water filter module 30 can be installed. Before installing the water filter module 30, the return air grille is first removed to form an installation opening, and the water filter module 30 is passed from the room through the installation opening into the upper space of the indoor ceiling 40, and then the water filter module 30 is installed in the avoidance groove 11.

[0070] According to some embodiments of the present invention, reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 The water filter module 30 is detachably mounted on the avoidance groove 11. The filter element in the water filter module 30 needs to be replaced regularly. By detachably mounting the water filter module 30 on the avoidance groove 11, the user can remove the water filter module 30 from the air conditioner 100 and replace the filter element indoors when replacing the filter element, making the filter element replacement process easier.

[0071] Refer to the following Figure 1-Figure 5 The air conditioner 100 according to some specific embodiments of the present invention is described.

[0072] Reference Figure 1 In this embodiment, the air conditioner 100 is an integrated air conditioner 100. The entire air conditioner 100 is installed on the indoor ceiling 40. The air conditioner 100 includes a casing 10 and an air conditioning component.
