[0031] To make the above objects, features and advantages of the present utility model more obvious and understandable, the specific embodiments of the present utility model will be described in detail below.

[0032] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 1 which is the structural schematic diagram of the indoor unit provided by the embodiment of the present application. Figure 2 For Figure 1 the explosion diagram of the indoor unit shown in the figure. The embodiment of the present application provides an indoor unit 100 of an air conditioner. The indoor unit 100 includes a front panel 10 and an air deflector 20. An air outlet frame 30 is provided on the front panel 10. One end of the air outlet frame 30 is recessed inward to form a handle groove 40. The air deflector 20 is rotatably connected to the air outlet frame 30. When the air deflector 20 is in the closed state, one end of the air deflector 20 close to the handle groove 40 shields a part of the handle groove 40. By recessing one end of the air outlet frame 30 inward to form a handle groove 40, and when the air deflector 20 is in the closed state, one end of the air deflector 20 close to the handle groove 40 shields a part of the handle groove 40, that is, part of the handle groove 40 is exposed, so that it is convenient for the user to insert the hand into the handle groove 40, and by controlling the air deflector 20 that shields part of the handle groove 40, the control of the entire air deflector 20 can be realized, thereby solving the problem that the air deflector 20 cannot be controlled to close after closing. And, by providing the handle groove 40, when the indoor unit 100 is powered off, the user can insert the hand into the handle groove 40 to control the air deflector 20 to realize the complete reset and closing of the air deflector 20.

[0033] The air deflector 20 includes a first part 210 that shields the handle groove 40 and a second part 220 that does not shield the handle groove 40. The first part 210 and the second part 220 are connected. By providing the first part 210 of the air deflector 20 to shield part of the handle groove 40, the control of the entire air deflector 20 can be realized by controlling the first part 210. And, through the shielding of the first part 210, the outside world cannot see the inside of the indoor unit 100 through the handle groove 40, and it also plays a role in preventing black leakage.

[0034] In some embodiments, the handle groove 40 is provided at the bottom end of the air outlet frame 30. The user inserts their hand into the handle groove 40 and flips the first part 210 of the air deflector 20 outward to open the entire air deflector 20, and flips the first part 210 of the air deflector 20 inward to close the entire air deflector 20. Herein, the bottom end can be understood as the end of the air outlet frame 30 close to the ground in the vertical direction. Flipping outward can be understood as flipping in a direction away from the handle groove 40, and flipping inward can be understood as flipping in a direction towards the handle groove 40.

[0035] In some embodiments, the handle groove 40 is provided at the top end of the air outlet frame 30. The user inserts their hand into the handle groove 40 and flips the first part 210 of the air deflector 20 inward to open the entire air deflector 20, and flips the first part 210 of the air deflector 20 outward to close the entire air deflector 20. Herein, the top end can be understood as the end of the air outlet frame 30 away from the ground in the vertical direction.

[0036] Wherein, the air outlet frame 30 is formed with at least one handle groove 40. Exemplarily, in some embodiments, the air outlet frame 30 may be formed with only one handle groove 40, and the handle groove 40 is provided at the top end or the bottom end of the air outlet frame 30. In other embodiments, the air outlet frame 30 may be formed with two handle grooves 40, one handle groove 40 is provided at the top end of the air outlet frame 30, and one handle groove 40 is provided at the bottom end of the air outlet frame 30, so that the user can select the handle groove 40 at the top end or the handle groove 40 at the bottom end to control the air deflector 20 according to factors such as usage habits, force application habits, and height. In some other embodiments, the air outlet frame 30 may be formed with multiple handle grooves 40, so that the user can easily control the air deflector 20 with both hands. It can be understood that the number and position of the handle grooves 40 can be selected according to the actual situation, and no specific limitation is made here. In the embodiments of the present application, an example is given where one handle groove 40 is formed at the bottom end of the air outlet frame 30, and it should not be construed as a limitation to this handle groove 40.

[0037] Please continue to refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 , Figure 3 is Figure 1 a partial cross-sectional view of the indoor unit shown along the A-A direction; Figure 4 is Figure 3An enlarged schematic view of part B shown. A shielding portion 50 is further provided on the air outlet frame 30. The shielding portion 50 is located on the side of the air deflector 20 away from the front panel 10. And when the air deflector 20 is in the closed state, one end of the shielding portion 50 abuts against the air deflector 20, so that the air outlet frame 30 is in a closed state. The setting of the shielding portion 50 can not only position and support the hand after the user reaches into the handle groove 40, but also fully close the air outlet frame 30 to ensure the overall sealing of the bottom of the air deflector 20, prevent insects, mice, etc. from entering, and also prevent air from entering the indoor unit 100 from the handle groove 40, avoiding the condensation around the handle groove 40.

[0038] It can be understood that there is a certain gap between the shielding portion 50 and the air deflector 20, so as to avoid abrasion when the air deflector 20 moves relative to the shielding portion 50. Among them, the size of this gap can be set according to the actual situation, and no specific limitation is made here, as long as the relative sealing performance can be ensured.

[0039] The other end of the shielding portion 50 extends in a direction away from the air deflector 20. The groove wall of the handle groove 40 is connected to the shielding portion 50, and the air deflector 20, the shielding portion 50 and the groove wall enclose a handle space. The handle space formed by enclosing the air deflector 20, the shielding portion 50 and the groove wall can accommodate the user's fingers, which is convenient for the user to apply force to the air deflector 20. Among them, the size of the handle space can be set according to the actual situation, as long as it meets the requirement that the user's hand can reach in.

[0040] In some embodiments, the shielding portion 50 is arranged along the direction perpendicular to the long side of the front panel 10 and is perpendicular to the groove wall of the handle groove 40. By arranging the shielding portion 50 perpendicular to the front panel 10 and the groove wall of the handle groove 40 respectively, it is more conducive to the user to exert force, and thus the user can adjust the air deflector 20 with the least force.

[0041] In some embodiments, the shielding portion 50 includes at least one rib. Exemplarily, the shielding portion 50 can include one rib or multiple ribs, as long as it meets the requirement that along the length direction of the front panel 10, the rib completely covers the handle groove 40 to ensure the sealing performance.

[0042] The shielding portion 50 and the groove wall of the handle groove 40 are integrally formed, which can simplify the process and improve the production efficiency.

[0043] In some embodiments, the finger grip groove 40 is an arc-shaped groove, and the groove wall of the finger grip groove 40 is provided with strip-shaped textures. By setting the finger grip groove 40 as an arc-shaped groove, it matches the shape of the finger. In this way, when the user inserts the finger into the finger grip groove 40 of the arc-shaped groove to pull the air deflector 20, the user will not feel discomfort, which can improve the user's comfort. And by setting strip-shaped textures on the groove wall of the finger grip groove 40, it can guide the user's finger, facilitating the user to apply the minimum force to control the air deflector 20. In addition, the strip-shaped textures can also make the appearance of the indoor unit 100 look more complete and beautiful.

[0044] In some embodiments, the groove wall of the finger grip groove 40 includes a third part and a fourth part. The third part is connected to the front panel 10, and the fourth part is connected to the shielding part 50. The third part and the fourth part are connected to each other, and the fourth part is bent away from the air deflector 20 relative to the third part. Through the relatively bent third part and fourth part, it can position and support the user's finger, and thus can play a role in saving effort.

[0045] In some embodiments, the width of the finger grip groove 40 can be the same as the width of the air outlet frame 30. By setting the same width, the appearance of the indoor unit 100 can look more complete and beautiful. Among them, the width refers to the length along the long side direction of the front panel 10.

[0046] In some embodiments, the width of the finger grip groove 40 can be smaller than the width of the air outlet frame 30. For example, a part of the bottom end of the air outlet frame 30 is recessed inward to form the finger grip groove 40, and the other parts of the bottom end are parallel to the bottom edge of the air deflector 20. In this way, on the basis of controlling the air deflector 20 through the finger grip groove 40, the overall tightness of the bottom of the air deflector 20 can be ensured. It can be understood that the width setting of the finger grip groove 40 can be set according to the actual situation and is not specifically limited here.

[0047] The air conditioner can have multiple air deflectors 20, and the rotation axes of each air deflector 20 are parallel to the long side of the air outlet frame 30. After the indoor unit 100 is installed, the air deflector 20 can swing up and down to change the air outlet direction.

[0048] The embodiment of the present application also provides an air conditioner, which includes the indoor unit 100 in any of the above embodiments. The specific content of the indoor unit 100 can be seen above and will not be repeated here.

[0049] Although the present utility model is disclosed as above, the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the present utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of the present utility model should be subject to the scope defined by the claims.
