Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of air conditioners, in particular to an embedded air conditioner indoor unit. Background Art
[0002] With the development of science and technology, people's living standards have been continuously improved, and the functions of air conditioners have become more diverse. Moreover, users pay more attention to the aesthetics of household appliances such as air conditioners, and also pay more attention to the fit or integration of household appliances such as air conditioners with the home decoration style. In order to ensure the integration of the air conditioner with the home living environment, users will install the wall-mounted air conditioner indoor unit in the cabinet. Further, the embedded air conditioner has emerged on the market.
[0003] At present, for the existing embedded air conditioner, in order to avoid the situation that the wall of the cabinet blocks the air inlet of the air conditioner indoor unit and ensure the air intake of the air conditioner indoor unit, the manufacturer will design its air inlet on its front side. However, the arrangement form of the indoor heat exchanger in the existing embedded air conditioner indoor unit still adopts the arrangement form of the indoor heat exchanger in the original wall-mounted indoor unit. For example, in the direction facing the air inlet, a single heat exchanger is still arranged vertically. In the form of forward air intake, a large amount of air flow will flow to the single vertically arranged heat exchanger, and the heat or cold on it cannot meet the heat exchange with such a large amount of air flow; at the same time, the heat exchange surface area of the single heat exchanger is small, which cannot ensure the heat exchange efficiency of the heat exchanger. All of the above will lead to a decline in the cooling / heating performance of the air conditioner, and further reduce the user experience. Summary of the Utility Model

[0052] Referring to Figure 1 , in this embodiment, the embedded air conditioner indoor unit 100 is used to be embedded in the embedding cavity 610 of the cabinet 600.
[0053] Therefore, the embedded air conditioner indoor unit 100 of this embodiment can be well integrated with the user's home environment, ensuring the aesthetics of the user's home environment and improving the user's experience.
[0054] Referring to Figure 1 , in this embodiment, an embedding cavity 610 is provided in the cabinet 600, and the embedding cavity 610 is used to accommodate the embedded air conditioner indoor unit 100.
[0055] In addition, the embedded air conditioner indoor unit 100 of this embodiment may not include the cabinet 600, or may include the cabinet 600. Specifically, the manufacturer and seller of the embedded air conditioner indoor unit 100 may produce and sell the cabinet 600 together with the embedded air conditioner indoor unit 100, or may separately produce and sell the embedded air conditioner indoor unit 100 without the cabinet 600.
[0056] Referring to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 , in this embodiment, the embedded air conditioner indoor unit 100 includes a housing 200 and an indoor heat exchange component 300.
[0057] The housing 200 is configured to be disposed within the recessed mounting cavity 610. An air inlet portion 210 is provided at the front end of the housing 200. An air inlet air duct 220 extending in the front-rear direction is provided within the housing 200, and the air inlet air duct 220 communicates with the air inlet portion 210.
[0058] The indoor heat exchange assembly 300 includes a first indoor heat exchanger 310 and a second indoor heat exchanger 320. The first indoor heat exchanger 310 is disposed within the air inlet air duct 220 along the front-rear direction. The front end of the first indoor heat exchanger 310 faces forward and downward, and the rear end of the first indoor heat exchanger 310 is arranged obliquely backward and upward. The second indoor heat exchanger 320 is disposed within the air inlet air duct 220 along the front-rear direction. The second indoor heat exchanger 320 is located below the first indoor heat exchanger 310. The front end of the second indoor heat exchanger 320 faces forward and upward, and the rear end of the second indoor heat exchanger 320 is arranged obliquely backward and downward. The front end of the second indoor heat exchanger 320 is connected to the front end of the first indoor heat exchanger 310.
[0059] Since the embedded air conditioner indoor unit 100 of the present embodiment employs the indoor heat exchange assembly 300 including the first indoor heat exchanger 310 and the second indoor heat exchanger 320 in the forward air inlet direction, that is, the number of indoor heat exchangers is increased in the forward air inlet direction. Furthermore, the embedded air conditioner indoor unit 100 of the present embodiment increases the cooling / heating capacity of the indoor heat exchange assembly 300 in the direction towards the air inlet 211, and can well meet the heat exchange requirements of the air flow in the forward air inlet form.
[0060] At the same time, the first indoor heat exchanger 310 and the second indoor heat exchanger 320 are arranged in a V shape, and the connecting ends of the first indoor heat exchanger 310 and the second indoor heat exchanger 320 are arranged in the direction towards the air inlet 211. That is, the first indoor heat exchanger 310 is disposed within the air inlet air duct 220 along the front-rear direction, and the front end of the first indoor heat exchanger 310 faces forward and downward and its rear end is arranged obliquely backward and upward. The second indoor heat exchanger 320 is disposed within the air inlet air duct 220 along the front-rear direction. The second indoor heat exchanger 320 is located below the first indoor heat exchanger 310, and the front end of the second indoor heat exchanger 320 faces forward and upward and its rear end is arranged obliquely backward and downward. The front end of the second indoor heat exchanger 320 is connected to the front end of the first indoor heat exchanger 310. Furthermore, the embedded air conditioner indoor unit 100 of the present embodiment increases the heat exchange area of the indoor heat exchange assembly 300 in the direction towards the air inlet 211.
[0061] Therefore, the present embodiment ensures the refrigeration / heating performance of the embedded air conditioner indoor unit 100 and ensures the user experience.
[0062] Moreover, since the first indoor heat exchanger 310 and the second indoor heat exchanger 320 are folded in the vertical direction (connected in a V shape), the space occupied by the first indoor heat exchanger 310 and the second indoor heat exchanger 320 in the vertical direction is very small. Thus, space can be reserved above the first indoor heat exchanger 310 for further additional indoor heat exchangers or other components (such as the third indoor heat exchanger 330); if no working components of the embedded air conditioner indoor unit 100 are arranged in the space above the first indoor heat exchanger 310, and then the first indoor heat exchanger 310 and the second indoor heat exchanger 320 are folded in the vertical direction, it is allowed for the embedded air conditioner indoor unit 100 to have a smaller height, providing more possibilities for the installation scheme of the embedded air conditioner indoor unit 100.
[0063] Referring to Figure 2 , in the first embodiment of the indoor heat exchange assembly 300 of this embodiment, a volute chamber 231 is arranged in the housing 200 below the air inlet duct 220, and the volute chamber 231 communicates with the air inlet duct 220; moreover, the embedded air conditioner indoor unit 100 further includes an indoor fan 500.
[0064] The indoor fan 500 is arranged in the volute chamber 231.
[0065] The indoor heat exchange assembly 300 is arranged in the air inlet duct 220, and the indoor heat exchange assembly 300 surrounds the front, rear, and upper sides of the indoor fan 500.
[0066] Since the embedded air conditioner indoor unit 100 of this embodiment connects the volute chamber 231 upward to the air inlet duct 220, and surrounds the indoor heat exchange assembly 300 around the front, rear, and upper sides of the indoor fan 500, that is, arranges the indoor heat exchange assembly 300 on the airflow path that the airflow flowing from the air inlet duct 220 into the volute chamber 231 must pass through. Thus, the situation that the airflow in the air inlet duct 220 flows directly into the volute chamber 231 without passing through the indoor heat exchange assembly 300 can be effectively avoided; at the same time, according to the airflow characteristics on the air inlet side of the indoor fan 500, the airflow will be distributed in front of, above, and behind the indoor fan 500, that is, flow into the volute chamber 231 from the front, above, and behind the indoor fan 500. Therefore, the embedded air conditioner indoor unit 100 of this embodiment surrounds the indoor heat exchange assembly 300 around the front, rear, and upper sides of the indoor fan 500, and the airflow flowing from the air inlet duct 220 into the volute chamber 231 can complete heat exchange with the indoor heat exchange assembly 300 very efficiently, which can well ensure the heat exchange efficiency between the indoor heat exchange assembly 300 and the airflow flowing from the air inlet duct 220 into the volute chamber 231. The above can further ensure the refrigeration / heating performance of the embedded air conditioner indoor unit 100 and ensure the user experience.
[0067] Referring to Figure 2, in this embodiment, the indoor heat exchange assembly 300 includes a third indoor heat exchanger 330 and a fourth indoor heat exchanger 340.
[0068] The third indoor heat exchanger 330 is arranged in the air inlet duct 220 in the vertical direction. The top end of the third indoor heat exchanger 330 is inclined backward and upward, and the bottom end is inclined forward and downward, and is arranged in front of and above the indoor fan 500. And the bottom end of the third indoor heat exchanger 330 is connected to the rear end of the first indoor heat exchanger 310.
[0069] The fourth indoor heat exchanger 340 is arranged in the air inlet duct 220 in the vertical direction. The top end of the fourth indoor heat exchanger 340 is inclined forward and upward, and the bottom end is inclined backward and downward, and is arranged behind and above the indoor fan 500. And the top end of the fourth indoor heat exchanger 340 is connected to the top end of the third indoor heat exchanger 330, and the bottom end of the fourth indoor heat exchanger 340 is arranged behind the volute chamber 231.
[0070] It can be understood that through the arrangement of the first indoor heat exchanger 310, the second indoor heat exchanger 320, the third indoor heat exchanger 330 and the fourth indoor heat exchanger 340, the indoor heat exchange assembly 300 can be surrounded in front of, behind and above the indoor fan 500.
[0071] At the same time, by arranging the third indoor heat exchanger 330 obliquely as described above, the third indoor heat exchanger 330 can guide the water body attached thereto to flow onto the first indoor heat exchanger 310. And according to the description in the following embodiments, the condensed water / water body on the first indoor heat exchanger 310 and the second indoor heat exchanger 320 will flow to the main water receiving tray 232. And by arranging the fourth indoor heat exchanger 340 obliquely as described above, the fourth indoor heat exchanger 340 can guide the water body attached thereto to flow into the auxiliary water receiving tray 233 in the following embodiments. In this way, it can be avoided that the water body / condensed water on the indoor heat exchange assembly 300 falls to the ground in the indoor space, ensuring the cleanliness of the indoor space and the user experience.
[0072] Refer to Figure 2 , in this embodiment, the included angle q between the third indoor heat exchanger 330 and the horizontal plane is greater than the included angle a between the first indoor heat exchanger 310 and the horizontal plane, and the included angle q between the third indoor heat exchanger 330 and the horizontal plane is greater than the included angle b between the second indoor heat exchanger 320 and the horizontal plane.
[0073] It can be understood that by setting the included angle between the third indoor heat exchanger 330 and the horizontal plane to be greater than the included angle between the first indoor heat exchanger 310 and the horizontal plane and greater than the included angle between the second indoor heat exchanger 320 and the horizontal plane, the smoothness of the water body attached to the third indoor heat exchanger 330 flowing onto the first indoor heat exchanger 310 can be further ensured, and the user experience can be further guaranteed.
[0074] Reference Figure 2 Figure 2 , in this embodiment, the included angle p between the fourth indoor heat exchanger 340 and the horizontal plane is greater than the included angle a between the first indoor heat exchanger 310 and the horizontal plane, and the included angle p between the fourth indoor heat exchanger 340 and the horizontal plane is greater than the included angle b between the second indoor heat exchanger 320 and the horizontal plane.
[0075] It can be understood that setting the included angle between the fourth indoor heat exchanger 340 and the horizontal plane to be greater than the included angle between the first indoor heat exchanger 310 and the horizontal plane and greater than the included angle between the second indoor heat exchanger 320 and the horizontal plane can further ensure the smoothness of the water flow attached to the fourth indoor heat exchanger 340 flowing into the auxiliary water receiving tray 233, and further ensure the user experience.
[0076] Reference Figure 2 Figure 2 , in this embodiment, the embedded air conditioner indoor unit 100 further includes a main water receiving tray 232 and an auxiliary water receiving tray 233.
[0077] The main water receiving tray 232 is arranged at the bottom of the air inlet duct 220, in front of the volute chamber 231, below the second indoor heat exchanger 320, and is used to receive the water bodies falling from the first indoor heat exchanger 310 and the second indoor heat exchanger 320.
[0078] The auxiliary water receiving tray 233 is arranged at the bottom of the air inlet duct 220, behind the volute chamber 231, below the fourth indoor heat exchanger 340, and is used to receive the water bodies falling from the fourth indoor heat exchanger 340.
[0079] It can be understood that the main water receiving tray 232 and the auxiliary water receiving tray 233 can prevent the water bodies / condensate on the indoor heat exchange assembly 300 from falling onto the ground in the indoor space, ensure the cleanliness of the indoor space, and ensure the user experience.
[0080] In addition, the main water receiving tray 232 and the auxiliary water receiving tray 233 can be interconnected, and the horizontal height of the auxiliary water receiving tray 233 can be set higher than that of the main water receiving tray 232. At the same time, a drainage water pipe connecting to the outdoor space is connected to the main water receiving tray 232. Furthermore, the condensate in the auxiliary water receiving tray 233 can flow into the main water receiving tray 232; and when the water body in the main water receiving tray 232 reaches a preset height, it will be discharged to the outdoor space through the drainage pipe.
[0081] Reference Figure 2, in this embodiment, the rear end of the second indoor heat exchanger 320 is connected to the main water receiving tray 232; and the bottom end of the fourth indoor heat exchanger 340 is connected to the secondary water receiving tray 233. Further, the first indoor heat exchanger 310, the second indoor heat exchanger 320, the third indoor heat exchanger 330, and the fourth indoor heat exchanger 340 can be arranged in the air inlet duct 220.
[0082] Referring to Figure 2 , in this embodiment, the housing 200 includes a base 230.
[0083] The base 230 is located below the air inlet duct 220. The volute chamber 231 is formed on the base 230. The main water receiving tray 232 is located on the base 230. The secondary water receiving tray 233 is located on the base 230.
[0084] It can be understood that by arranging the main water receiving tray 232 and the secondary water receiving tray 233 on the base 230, the indoor heat exchange assembly 300 can be arranged on the base 230, and the base 230 is made to bear most of the weight of the indoor heat exchange assembly 300. The base 230 is provided on the lower bottom plate 244 of the surrounding frame 240 in the following embodiment. And when the embedded air conditioner indoor unit 100 is installed in the cabinet 600, the surrounding frame 240 can be connected to the cabinet 600 to achieve the installation. Therefore, the embedded air conditioner indoor unit 100 in this embodiment can well ensure the stability of the installation and arrangement of the indoor heat exchange assembly 300.
[0085] In addition, the configuration of the indoor fan 500 and the volute chamber 231 on the base 230 can cause the air flow flowing from the air inlet part 210 into the air inlet duct 220 to flow through the indoor heat exchange assembly 300 and then into the volute chamber 231, and cause the air flow in the volute chamber 231 to flow out into the indoor space through the air outlet duct 234 and the air outlet 260 in the following embodiment, completing functions such as heating, cooling, or ventilation.
[0086] Referring to Figure 4 , in this embodiment, the housing 200 includes a surrounding frame 240.
[0087] The surrounding frame 240 surrounds the upper, bottom, left, and right sides of the base 230. The air inlet duct 220 is located between the surrounding frame 240 and the base 230. To achieve the construction of the housing 200 and the air inlet duct 220.
[0088] Referring to Figure 3 , in the second embodiment of the indoor heat exchange assembly 300 in this embodiment, the top of the indoor heat exchange assembly 300 is connected to the top of the air inlet duct 220, and the bottom of the indoor heat exchange assembly 300 is connected to the bottom of the air inlet duct 220.
[0089] It should be noted that in the first embodiment of the indoor heat exchange assembly 300 described above, the indoor heat exchange assembly 300 is surrounded in front of, behind, and above the indoor fan 500. Most of the air flow entering the air inlet duct 220 in the forward air intake form will pass through the first indoor heat exchanger 310, the second indoor heat exchanger 320, and the third indoor heat exchanger 330 for heat exchange, while a small part of the air flow will pass through the gap between the upper part of the third indoor heat exchanger 330 and the housing 200 (the upper top plate 243 of the surrounding frame 240), flow to the rear of the indoor fan 500, and exchange heat with the fourth indoor heat exchanger 340. In this way, the heat / cold on the fourth indoor heat exchanger 340 cannot be completely carried into the indoor space by a sufficient amount of air flow, which may cause the fourth indoor heat exchanger 340 to become overcooled / overheated, thereby reducing the heat exchange efficiency of the indoor heat exchange assembly 300, reducing the cooling / heating performance of the embedded air conditioner indoor unit 100, and even possibly causing the embedded air conditioner indoor unit 100 to stop, thus reducing the user experience.
[0090] However, in the indoor heat exchange assembly 300 of this embodiment, since its top is connected to the top of the air inlet duct 220 and the bottom of the indoor heat exchange assembly 300 is connected to the bottom of the air inlet duct 220, the entire indoor heat exchange assembly 300 faces the air inlet direction (or faces the air inlet 211). A large amount of air flow entering the air inlet duct 220 in the forward air intake form can fully meet the heat exchange requirements of the indoor heat exchange assembly 300, and can completely carry the cold / heat on the indoor heat exchange assembly 300 into the indoor space, avoiding the situation that part of the indoor heat exchange assembly 300 may become overcooled / overheated and the embedded air conditioner indoor unit 100 stops, ensuring the heat exchange efficiency of the indoor heat exchange assembly 300. Therefore, the embedded air conditioner indoor unit 100 of this embodiment can further ensure the cooling / heating performance of the embedded air conditioner indoor unit 100 and ensure the user experience.
[0091] Refer to Figure 3 , in this embodiment, the indoor heat exchange assembly 300 further includes a third indoor heat exchanger 330.
[0092] The third indoor heat exchanger 330 is arranged in the air inlet duct 220 in the up-down direction. The third indoor heat exchanger 330 is located above the first indoor heat exchanger 310. The top end of the third indoor heat exchanger 330 is connected to the top of the air inlet duct 220, and the bottom end of the third indoor heat exchanger 330 is connected to the rear end of the first indoor heat exchanger 310. To enable the indoor heat exchange assembly 300 to achieve its top being connected to the top of the air inlet duct 220 and the bottom of the indoor heat exchange assembly 300 being connected to the bottom of the air inlet duct 220.
[0093] In an alternative embodiment, the indoor heat exchange assembly 300 further includes a plurality of vertically-folded indoor heat exchangers disposed above the first indoor heat exchanger 310 (for example, adding two more indoor heat exchangers connected in a V shape above the first indoor heat exchanger 310, and the connection ends of the two indoor heat exchangers face the air inlet portion 210; or adding three more indoor heat exchangers connected in a W shape above the first indoor heat exchanger 310, and the connection ends of adjacent two indoor heat exchangers face the air inlet portion 210), so as to enable the top of the indoor heat exchange assembly 300 to be connected to the top of the air inlet duct 220, and the bottom of the indoor heat exchange assembly 300 to be connected to the bottom of the air inlet duct 220.
[0094] Meanwhile, the plurality of vertically-folded indoor heat exchangers can further increase the cooling / heating capacity of the indoor heat exchange assembly 300 in the direction towards the air inlet 211, meeting the heat exchange requirements of the forward air flow form; and further increase the heat exchange area of the indoor heat exchange assembly 300 in the direction towards the air inlet 211. Moreover, in the case of having the same heat exchange performance, compared with the built-in air conditioner with only one third indoor heat exchanger 330, the built-in air conditioner with the plurality of vertically-folded indoor heat exchangers above the first indoor heat exchanger 310 can have a smaller height.
[0095] Refer to Figure 3 , in this embodiment, the top end of the third indoor heat exchanger 330 is inclined backward and upward, and the bottom end is inclined forward and downward, so as to cause the water body attached to the third indoor heat exchanger 330 to flow towards the first indoor heat exchanger 310.
[0096] It can be understood that through the inclined arrangement of the third indoor heat exchanger 330, the third indoor heat exchanger 330 can have a larger heat exchange surface, so as to further improve the heat exchange efficiency of the indoor heat exchange assembly 300, further ensure the cooling / heating performance of the built-in air conditioner indoor unit 100, and ensure the user experience.
[0097] Moreover, according to the description in the following embodiments, the condensed water / water body on the first indoor heat exchanger 310 and the second indoor heat exchanger 320 will flow to the main water receiving tray 232. Furthermore, the top end of the third indoor heat exchanger 330 is inclined backward and upward, and the bottom end is inclined forward and downward, which can prevent the water body / condensed water on the indoor heat exchange assembly 300 from falling onto the ground in the indoor space, ensuring the cleanliness of the indoor space and the user experience.
[0098] Refer to Figure 3 , in this embodiment, the angle q between the third indoor heat exchanger 330 and the horizontal plane is greater than the angle a between the first indoor heat exchanger 310 and the horizontal plane; and the angle q between the third indoor heat exchanger 330 and the horizontal plane is greater than the angle b between the second indoor heat exchanger 320 and the horizontal plane.
[0099] It can be understood that setting the included angle between the third indoor heat exchanger 330 and the horizontal plane to be greater than the included angle between the first indoor heat exchanger 310 and the horizontal plane and greater than the included angle between the second indoor heat exchanger 320 and the horizontal plane can further ensure the smoothness of the water body attached to the third indoor heat exchanger 330 flowing to the first indoor heat exchanger 310, and further ensure the user experience.
[0100] Refer to Figure 3 In this embodiment, the embedded air conditioner indoor unit 100 further includes a main water receiving tray 232.
[0101] The main water receiving tray 232 is arranged at the bottom of the air inlet duct 220, the main water receiving tray 232 is located below the second indoor heat exchanger 320, the main water receiving tray 232 is used for receiving the water bodies falling from the first indoor heat exchanger 310 and the second indoor heat exchanger 320, and the rear end of the second indoor heat exchanger 320 is connected to the main water receiving tray 232.
[0102] It can be understood that the main water receiving tray 232 can prevent the water bodies / condensate on the indoor heat exchange assembly 300 from falling onto the ground in the indoor space, ensure the cleanliness of the indoor space, and ensure the user experience.
[0103] Moreover, connecting the rear end of the second indoor heat exchanger 320 to the main water receiving tray 232 can realize the arrangement of the first indoor heat exchanger 310 and the second indoor heat exchanger 320 in the air inlet duct 220.
[0104] In addition, since the water bodies or condensate on the first indoor heat exchanger 310, the second indoor heat exchanger 320, and the third indoor heat exchanger 330 will flow into the main evaporator, furthermore, the embedded air conditioner indoor unit 100 of this embodiment does not need to be additionally provided with a secondary water receiving tray 233 behind the volute chamber 231, so as to reduce the thickness of the embedded air conditioner indoor unit 100 in the front-rear direction and ensure the compactness of the embedded air conditioner indoor unit 100. At the same time, the production cost of the embedded air conditioner indoor unit 100 is reduced.

[0107] The indoor fan 500 is arranged in the volute chamber 231, and the indoor fan 500 is used to make the air flow flowing into the air inlet duct 220 from the air inlet part 210 flow through the indoor heat exchange assembly 300 and then flow into the volute chamber 231.
[0108] It can be understood that, through the settings of the volute chamber 231 and the indoor fan 500, the air flow flowing from the air inlet part 210 into the air inlet duct 220 can be made to flow through the indoor heat exchange assembly 300 and then into the volute chamber 231, and the air flow in the volute chamber 231 can be made to flow out into the indoor space through the air outlet duct 234 and the air outlet 260 in the following embodiments, thus completing functions such as heating, cooling or ventilation.
[0109] Referring to Figure 3 , in this embodiment, at least part of the third indoor heat exchanger 330 is located above the indoor fan 500.
[0110] It can be understood that at least part of the third indoor heat exchanger 330 is located above the indoor fan 500 to make the third indoor heat exchanger 330 surround the indoor fan 500 as much as possible, and make the indoor heat exchange assembly 300 surround the indoor fan 500 as much as possible, so as to further ensure the refrigeration / heating performance of the embedded air conditioner indoor unit 100 and ensure the user experience.
[0111] Referring to Figure 4 , in this embodiment, the housing 200 includes a surrounding frame 240.
[0112] The surrounding frame 240 surrounds the upper, bottom, left and right sides of the base 230.

[0122] It can be understood that by setting the surrounding frame 240, the base 230 and the front panel cover 250, the housing 200 and the air inlet duct 220 are constructed.
[0123] Moreover, the air inlet part 210 can be an air inlet 211 opened on the front panel cover 250. Meanwhile, by configuring the air outlet duct 234 and the air outlet 260, the embedded air conditioner indoor unit 100 is enabled to perform functions such as refrigeration, heating or ventilation.
[0124] Refer to Figure 4 , in this embodiment, the housing 200 further includes a wind guiding plate 270. The wind guiding plate 270 is rotatably connected to the front panel cover 250, and the wind guiding plate 270 has a state of closing the air inlet 211 and a state of opening the air inlet 211. And when the wind guiding plate 270 is in the state of opening the air inlet 211, the top end of the wind guiding plate 270 inclines forward and upward, the bottom end inclines backward and downward, and the bottom end of the wind guiding plate 270 is located between the air inlet 211 and the air outlet 260.
[0125] It can be understood that when the wind guiding plate 270 is in the state of opening the air inlet 211, the wind guiding plate 270 can guide the air flow in the front upper part of the embedded air conditioner indoor unit 100 to flow into the air inlet duct 220 along the back lower part through the air inlet 211. At the same time, since the wind guiding plate 270 can divide the air inlet 211 and the air outlet 260 into two relatively separated areas in a certain space, it can avoid the interference between the air flow entering the air inlet duct 220 from the air inlet 211 and the air flow flowing out of the air outlet duct 234 from the air outlet 260, ensure the working performance of the embedded air conditioner indoor unit 100, and ensure the user experience.

Further, the air inlet part 210 can be the air inlet gap 212 located between the upper top plate 243, the left side plate 241, the right side plate 242 of the surrounding frame 240 and the base 230.
[0128] Moreover, through the configuration of the air outlet duct 234 and the air outlet 260, the embedded air conditioner indoor unit 100 is enabled to perform functions such as refrigeration, heating, or ventilation.
