[0028] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to be used to explain the present invention, but cannot be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0029] Combine the following Figure 1-Figure 7 An air conditioner indoor unit 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention is described.

[0030] The air conditioner indoor unit 100 of the embodiment of the utility model comprises a housing 1, an air supply assembly and a lighting lamp 2. The housing 1 is used to be installed on the top of the bathroom, and the housing 1 is formed with an air inlet channel 11, an air supply channel 12 and an air outlet channel 13 which are connected in sequence. The housing 1 is provided with an air inlet 14 connected with the air inlet channel 11 and an air outlet 15 connected with the air outlet channel 13. The air supply assembly is installed in the air supply channel 12. The lighting lamp 2 is installed in the air inlet channel 11, and / or, the lighting lamp 2 is installed in the air outlet channel 13.

[0031] According to the air conditioner indoor unit 100 of the embodiment of the utility model, after the housing 1 is installed on the top of the bathroom, the air supply component sucks the air in the bathroom from the air inlet 14 into the air inlet channel 11 when working, and then blows the air from the air outlet 15 to the bathroom through the air supply channel 12 and the air outlet channel 13, so as to realize the air conditioning functions of the air conditioner indoor unit 100 such as air supply, cooling or heating. By installing the illuminating lamp 2 in the air inlet channel 11 and / or the air outlet channel 13, the light emitted by the illuminating lamp 2 can be emitted from the air inlet 14 and / or the air outlet 15 to the bathroom, so as to realize the lighting function, wherein there is no need to set up an additional space for installing the illuminating lamp 2 on the housing 1, thereby effectively reducing the volume of the air conditioner indoor unit 100, and the air conditioner indoor unit 100 occupies a small space in the bathroom. Moreover, the illuminating lamp 2 is hidden in the air inlet channel 11 and / or the air outlet channel 13, and is not exposed to the housing 1, thereby effectively improving the appearance of the air conditioner indoor unit 100.

[0032] It should be noted that Figure 7 As shown, the housing 1 is suitable for installation on the ceiling of the bathroom, the bottom surface of the housing 1 is substantially coplanar with the bottom surface of the ceiling, and the air inlet 14 and the air outlet 15 are located on the bottom surface of the housing 1. In addition, the housing 1 is adjacent to the bathroom mirror 200, and the air inlet 14 is closer to the bathroom mirror 200 than the air outlet 15.

[0033] For ease of understanding, Figure 1 The direction indicated by the middle arrow A is the first direction of the air conditioner indoor unit 100 according to the embodiment of the utility model. Figure 1 The direction indicated by the middle arrow B is the second direction of the air-conditioning indoor unit 100 according to the embodiment of the present utility model.

[0034] In some embodiments, Figure 3-Figure 6 As shown, the air inlet 14 is arranged on the bottom surface of the housing 1 , the air inlet channel 11 extends in the height direction, and the illuminating lamp 2 is installed on the top surface of the air inlet channel 11 .

[0035] Thus, the light emitted by the illuminating lamp 2 is generally directed toward the air inlet 14, and is less likely to be blocked by the inner wall of the air inlet passage 11. The power of the illuminating lamp 2 does not need to be too large, and the brightness of the light emitted to the bathroom can also be guaranteed to meet the lighting needs. Moreover, the illuminating lamp 2 is arranged at the top of the air inlet passage 11, and it is less likely for the user to observe the illuminating lamp 2 from the air inlet 14, which prevents glare and effectively improves the appearance of the air conditioner indoor unit 100.

[0036] Specifically, the outer contour of the cross section of the air inlet channel 11 is substantially square, and the lighting lamp 2 may include a plurality of lamp beads, which are discretely and evenly arranged on the top surface of the air inlet channel 11 .

[0037] In some embodiments, the lighting lamp 2 is connected to the housing 1 via a fastener and / or an adhesive layer.

[0038] The illuminating lamp 2 can be connected to the housing 1 by fasteners, or can be bonded to the top surface of the air inlet channel 11 by an adhesive layer, and both methods can achieve reliable installation of the illuminating lamp 2 on the housing 1. The above two connection methods can also be used at the same time to further improve the installation reliability of the illuminating lamp 2 on the housing 1.

[0039] Specifically, taking the lighting lamp 2 as a light strip as an example, the back side of the light strip is bonded to the top surface of the air inlet channel 11 through an adhesive layer.

[0040] In some embodiments, Figure 1 As shown, the air-conditioning indoor unit 100 also includes an air guide plate 3 and a driving device. The air guide plate 3 is pivotally connected to the shell 1. The air guide plate 3 is located at the air outlet 15. The air guide plate 3 has a first position for closing the air outlet 15 and a second position for opening the air outlet 15. The driving device is installed on the shell 1, and the driving device is transmission-connected to the air guide plate 3.

[0041] Therefore, when the air conditioning indoor unit 100 is not working, the driving device drives the air guide plate 3 to pivot to the first position to close the air outlet 15, thereby preventing foreign dust and other impurities from entering the air outlet 15 and effectively improving the appearance of the air conditioning indoor unit 100.

[0042] Specifically, Figure 3-Figure 6 The air guide plates 3 in the air-conditioning indoor unit 100 are all located at the second position. At this time, the air-conditioning indoor unit 100 is in working state and can blow air toward the bathroom through the air outlet 15.

[0043] In some embodiments, Figure 4As shown, the air inlet 14 and the air outlet 15 are both arranged on the bottom surface of the housing 1 and are spaced apart along the first direction, the air guide plate 3 extends along the second direction, and the second direction, the first direction and the height direction are perpendicular to each other. There are at least two second positions, and when the air guide plate 3 is located at one of the second positions, the airflow discharged from the air outlet 15 flows obliquely downward toward the direction close to the air inlet 14.

[0044] That is, the air conditioner indoor unit 100 has a defog mode. When adjusted to the defog mode, the air guide plate 3 pivots to one of the second positions, and the airflow in the air outlet channel 13 is guided by the air guide plate 3 and blows toward the wash mirror 200 located below the air inlet 14, thereby accelerating the evaporation of the water mist on the wash mirror 200. On this basis, the evaporated water mist is sucked upward into the air inlet channel 11, thereby achieving rapid defog processing of the wash mirror 200.

[0045] Specifically, there are two air guide plates 3. When the air conditioner indoor unit 100 is in the demisting mode, the air guide plates 3 are generally rotated clockwise from the first position to about 45 degrees. At the same time, the air supply component also heats the gas so that the air blown to the wash mirror 200 is hot air to heat the water mist on the wash mirror 200 and accelerate the removal of the water mist.

[0046] It should be noted that Figure 4 As shown, when the air conditioner indoor unit 100 is in the heating mode, the air guide plate 3 generally rotates clockwise by about 90° from the first position, and the hot air generally blows downward toward the bathroom. Figure 5 As shown, when the air conditioner indoor unit 100 is in the heating mode, the air guide plate 3 generally rotates clockwise by about 135° from the first position, and the hot air generally blows obliquely downward toward the bathroom away from the wash mirror 200.

[0047] In some embodiments, there are at least two air guide plates 3 , and the driving device includes a stepping motor and a transmission mechanism. The stepping motor is transmission-connected to the transmission mechanism, and the transmission mechanism is transmission-connected to each air guide plate 3 .

[0048] The stepper motor can drive the air guide plate 3 to pivot to any angle to better and more flexibly control the gas flow direction. The transmission mechanism is set so that all the air guide plates 3 rotate synchronously under the drive of a stepper motor, effectively reducing the angle adjustment cost of the air guide plate 3.

[0049] Specifically, the transmission mechanism may be a connecting rod, which is pivotally connected to all the air guide plates 3 to form a four-bar linkage. The transmission mechanism may also be a chain or a conveyor belt, which is connected to the pivot of each air guide plate 3 in a transmission manner.

[0050] In some embodiments, Figure 2As shown, the air supply assembly includes a drive motor 4, a crossflow fan wheel 5 and an evaporator 6, and the drive motor 4 is installed on the housing 1. The crossflow fan wheel 5 is rotatably installed in the air supply channel 12, and the drive motor 4 is transmission-connected with the crossflow fan wheel 5. The evaporator 6 is installed in the air supply channel 12, and the evaporator 6 is located on the side of the crossflow fan wheel 5 facing the air inlet channel 11.

[0051] The crossflow impeller 5 rotates under the drive of the driving motor 4 to realize the flow of gas in the air supply channel 12. The setting of the evaporator 6 allows the gas to be heated or cooled through heat exchange when passing through the evaporator 6, so that the air-conditioning indoor unit 100 can realize the heating mode and the cooling mode respectively.

[0052] Specifically, the shell 1 includes an upper cover and a lower cover, the air inlet 14 and the air outlet 15 are arranged on the lower cover, the crossflow impeller 5, the drive motor 4 and the evaporator 6 are installed in the inner cavity of the upper cover through the lower end opening of the upper cover, and then the lower cover is connected to the upper cover to achieve shielding of the air supply component.

[0053] In some embodiments, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the air conditioner indoor unit 100 also includes an air inlet grille 7, which is connected to the shell 1 and is located between the air inlet channel 11 and the air supply channel 12. The air inlet grille 7 forms a plurality of through holes connecting the air inlet channel 11 and the air supply channel 12.

[0054] The air inlet grille 7 is used to separate the air inlet channel 11 and the air supply channel 12 to prevent the air supply component from being exposed and increasing the risk of damage due to interference with external components. It also prevents the user from observing the air supply component through the air inlet 14, further improving the appearance of the air conditioner indoor unit 100.

[0055] Specifically, the air inlet grille 7 is threadedly connected to the top wall of the upper cover shell through a threaded member.

[0056] In some embodiments, Figure 2 As shown, the air conditioner indoor unit 100 further includes a filter 8, which is installed on a side of the air inlet grille 7 away from the air inlet channel 11, and the filter 8 blocks the through hole.

[0057] The filter 8 is provided to ensure that the air blown from the air outlet 15 to the bathroom is clean and clear, effectively improving the user experience. In addition, the filter 8 is provided on the side of the air inlet grille 7 away from the air inlet channel 11 to prevent the user from directly observing the filter 8 from the air inlet 14, further improving the appearance of the air conditioner indoor unit 100.

[0058] The air conditioner according to the embodiment of the present invention includes the air conditioner indoor unit 100 as described in any of the above embodiments.
