[0044] When the existing air conditioner indoor unit is installed in the cabinet, since the air conditioner indoor unit needs to dissipate heat, it is necessary to leave heat dissipation space on both sides of the air conditioner indoor unit, which will produce a gap between the air conditioner indoor unit and the edges of the cabinet on both sides. Although the gap is not conspicuous, it has a great impact on the overall appearance and coordination.

[0045] When the difference in the gaps on both sides of the air conditioner indoor unit is too large, the gap on one side will be too large, which will affect the overall aesthetics, resulting in a poor visual experience. It will also affect the heat dissipation function of the air conditioner indoor unit and is not conducive to uniform heat dissipation of the air conditioner indoor unit.

[0046] An embodiment of the present utility model provides a flash seam adjusting device 100 for an indoor unit 200 of an air conditioner, which facilitates the adjustment of the flash seams between the left and right sides of the indoor unit 200 of the air conditioner and the cabinet 300, so that the indoor unit 200 of the air conditioner is located at the middle position within the cabinet 300, improves the aesthetic appearance of the indoor unit 200 of the air conditioner, enhances the user's sense of use and experience, and the heat dissipation spaces on the left and right sides of the indoor unit of the air conditioner are evenly distributed, which is also beneficial to the uniform heat dissipation of the indoor unit 200 of the air conditioner.

[0047] Figure 1 FIG. is a schematic assembly diagram of a flash seam adjusting device 100 according to an embodiment of the present utility model. Figure 2 FIG. is a schematic assembly diagram of an adjusting mechanism group 110 according to an embodiment of the present utility model.

[0048] As Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, the flash seam adjusting device 100 of the indoor unit 200 of the air conditioner according to the embodiment of the present utility model generally includes two groups of adjusting mechanism groups 110. The indoor unit 200 of the air conditioner is installed within the cabinet 300, and the two groups of adjusting mechanism groups 110 are respectively arranged on the left and right sides of the housing of the indoor unit 200 of the air conditioner. Figure 1 The left and right directions of the indoor unit 200 of the air conditioner are marked, and the adjusting mechanism group 110 is installed on the side surfaces of the left and right sides of the indoor unit 200 of the air conditioner.

[0049] Each group of adjusting mechanism groups 110 includes at least one adjustable component 10. As Figure 2 shown, in one embodiment, each group of adjusting mechanism groups 110 includes one adjustable component 10. In other embodiments, according to actual needs, the number of adjustable components 10 in each group of adjusting mechanism groups 110 can be multiple, such as 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.

[0050] Within a reasonable range, increasing the number of adjustable components 10 included in each group of adjusting mechanism groups 110 can improve the structural stability of the flash seam adjusting device 100 and improve the adjustment accuracy.

[0051] When the number of adjustable components 10 in each group of adjusting mechanism groups 110 is set to be multiple, the multiple adjustable components 10 in each group of adjusting mechanism groups 110 can be arranged at intervals along the vertical direction of the indoor unit 200 of the air conditioner on the side surface of the indoor unit 200 of the air conditioner to further improve the structural stability of the flash seam adjusting device 100.

[0052] When there is a gap between one set of adjusting mechanism groups 110 and the adjacent first cabinet wall 310, any one adjusting component 10 in the other set of adjusting mechanism groups 110 is set to extend controllably towards the adjacent second cabinet wall 320, and continue to extend after abutting against the second cabinet wall 320, so as to push the indoor unit 200 of the air conditioner towards the first cabinet wall 310, thereby adjusting the flash gap between the indoor unit 200 of the air conditioner and the first cabinet wall 310 and the second cabinet wall 320.

[0053] In the embodiment of the present utility model, the first cabinet wall 310 can be the cabinet wall on the left side of the cabinet body 300, or the cabinet wall on the right side of the cabinet body 300. When the first cabinet wall 310 is the cabinet wall on the left side of the cabinet body 300, the second cabinet wall 320 is the cabinet wall on the right side of the cabinet body 300. Similarly, when the first cabinet wall 310 is the cabinet wall on the right side of the cabinet body 300, the second cabinet wall 320 is the cabinet wall on the left side of the cabinet body 300.

[0054] There is a gap between one set of adjusting mechanism groups 110 in the two sets of adjusting mechanism groups 110 and the adjacent first cabinet wall 310, that is, there is an adjusting space on one side of the adjusting mechanism group 110 with respect to the first cabinet wall 310, and the indoor unit 200 of the air conditioner can move towards the first cabinet wall 310. At this time, the flash gap between the indoor unit 200 of the air conditioner and the first cabinet wall 310 and the second cabinet wall 320 can be adjusted through the flash gap adjusting device 100.

[0055] Control any one adjusting component 10 in the other set of adjusting mechanism groups 110 to gradually extend towards the adjacent second cabinet wall 320. After the top surface of the adjusting component 10 abuts against the second cabinet wall 320, make the adjusting component 10 continue to extend. At this time, the adjusting component 10 has a force on the second cabinet wall 320, and the second cabinet wall 320 has a reaction force on the adjusting component 10.

[0056] This reaction force causes the adjusting component 10 to push the indoor unit 200 of the air conditioner towards the first cabinet wall 310, so that the position of the indoor unit 200 of the air conditioner in the cabinet body 300 changes, the flash gap between the indoor unit 200 of the air conditioner and the first cabinet wall 310 decreases, and the flash gap between the indoor unit 200 of the air conditioner and the second cabinet wall 320 increases.

[0057] In some embodiments, the indoor unit 200 of the air conditioner is a cabinet-type indoor unit 200 of the air conditioner. When the cabinet-type indoor unit 200 of the air conditioner is installed in the cabinet body 300, the bottom surface contacts the bottom surface in the cabinet body 300. The bottom surface of the cabinet-type indoor unit 200 of the air conditioner and the bottom surface of the cabinet body 300 are relatively smooth and the frictional force is small, and the cabinet-type indoor unit 200 of the air conditioner can also move when it is subjected to a small thrust, which is convenient for the flash gap adjusting device 100 to adjust the flash gap between the cabinet-type indoor unit 200 of the air conditioner and the cabinet body 300.

[0058] The flash gap adjusting device 100 according to the embodiment of the present utility model is provided with two sets of adjusting mechanism groups 110, so that the flash gaps on the left and right sides of the indoor unit 200 of the air conditioner can be adjusted. When adjusting the position of the indoor unit 200 of the air conditioner installed in the cabinet 300, the overall aesthetics can be improved, and the user experience can be enhanced.

[0059] Adjusting mechanism groups 110 are respectively arranged on the left and right sides of the indoor unit 200 of the air conditioner. Any adjusting component 10 in one of the adjusting mechanism groups 110 can be controlled to extend towards one side, and continue to extend after abutting against the cabinet 300. The reaction force of the cabinet 300 on the adjusting component 10 causes the adjusting component 10 to push the indoor unit 200 of the air conditioner to move towards the other side, thereby adjusting the flash gap between the indoor unit 200 of the air conditioner and the cabinets 300 on both sides. Compared with directly pushing the indoor unit 200 of the air conditioner by hand, the method using the flash gap adjusting device 100 is more convenient to operate, can reduce the difficulty of adjusting the flash gap, and can also improve the accuracy of flash gap adjustment.

[0060] The flash gap adjusting device 100 is used to adjust the flash gaps between the left and right sides of the indoor unit 200 of the air conditioner and the cabinet 300, which is not only beneficial to improving the aesthetics of the indoor unit 200 of the air conditioner, but also beneficial to the uniform heat dissipation of the indoor unit 200 of the air conditioner. By adjusting the indoor unit 200 of the air conditioner to be located exactly in the middle of the cabinet 300, the heat dissipation spaces on both sides of the indoor unit 200 of the air conditioner are of the same size, so that the indoor unit 200 of the air conditioner can dissipate heat evenly on both the left and right sides, and the service life of the indoor unit 200 of the air conditioner can be extended.

[0061] In some embodiments, the surface of the cabinet 300 that bears the indoor unit 200 of the air conditioner is smooth, and the friction force between it and the bottom surface of the indoor unit 200 of the air conditioner is small. The indoor unit 200 of the air conditioner can move easily under the reaction force of the second cabinet wall 320.

[0062] In some embodiments, the number of adjusting components 10 in the two sets of adjusting mechanism groups 110 is the same, and the adjusting components 10 of the two sets of adjusting mechanism groups 110 are arranged in one-to-one correspondence on the corresponding side surfaces of the housing. Specifically, referring to Figure 2 , each of the two sets of adjusting mechanism groups 110 in the two sets of adjusting mechanism groups 110 includes one adjusting component 10. The adjusting components 10 of the two adjusting mechanism groups 110 are arranged oppositely on the left and right sides of the housing of the indoor unit 200 of the air conditioner. By adjusting the extension or shortening of the two adjusting components 10, the flash gaps between the two side surfaces of the indoor unit 200 of the air conditioner at the same height and the cabinet 300 can be adjusted.

[0063] In other embodiments, each of the two sets of adjustment mechanism groups 110 may include a plurality of adjustment components 10. The adjustment components 10 in the two sets of adjustment mechanism groups 110 are respectively arranged on the corresponding sides of the housing in a one-to-one correspondence, and the two adjustment components 10 at the same height can cooperate with each other to complete the flash seam adjustment. The adjustment components 10 at different heights in each set of adjustment mechanism groups 110 can cooperate synergistically to improve the accuracy of the flash seam adjustment.

[0064] In some embodiments, each adjustment component 10 may include a telescopic shaft composed of multiple segments of shafts, which can be extended or shortened by rotation or sliding. Each adjustment component 10 may also include a hydraulic or pneumatic telescopic mechanism, etc., as long as it can enable the adjustment component to be telescopic.

[0065] Figure 3 It is a schematic structural diagram of the adjustment component 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0066] In some embodiments, as Figure 3 shown, each adjustment component 10 includes a stud 111, and the stud 111 is rotatably installed on the corresponding side of the housing of the indoor unit 200 of the air conditioner. The stud 111 is installed on the left or right surface of the indoor unit 200 of the air conditioner. When the stud 111 on the left surface rotates, it can extend towards the left cabinet wall or shorten towards the right indoor unit of the air conditioner.

[0067] The stud 111 is arranged to be extended controllably in the left-right direction of the indoor unit 200 of the air conditioner to abut against the first cabinet wall 310 or the second cabinet wall 320, or to be shortened controllably in the left-right direction of the indoor unit 200 of the air conditioner to separate from the first cabinet wall 310 or the second cabinet wall 320.

[0068] When the stud 111 is shortened under controlled rotation, a gap can be formed between the adjustment mechanism group 110 and the adjacent cabinet wall, reserving space for the movement of the indoor unit 200 of the air conditioner.

[0069] When the stud 111 is extended under controlled rotation and extends until the adjustment mechanism group 110 abuts against the adjacent cabinet wall, and then continues to extend, under the reaction force of the cabinet wall, the adjustment mechanism group 110 pushes the indoor unit 200 of the air conditioner to move towards the other cabinet wall, thereby adjusting the flash seam between the left and right sides of the indoor unit 200 of the air conditioner and the cabinet 300.

[0070] In some embodiments, scale values may be engraved on the stud 111, so that the extension lengths of the studs 111 on the left and right sides of the air conditioner can be directly seen through the scale values, which is beneficial to improving the efficiency of the flash seam adjustment.

[0071] The embodiment of the utility model cleverly utilizes the reaction force of the first cabinet wall 310 or the second cabinet wall 320 of the cabinet body 300 on the stud 111, and can realize the movement of the air conditioner indoor unit 200 without manually pushing the air conditioner indoor unit 200 directly, thereby adjusting the gaps on both sides of the air conditioner indoor unit 200 to be consistent, improving the aesthetics of the air conditioner indoor unit 200 installed in the cabinet body 300, and enhancing the user's sense of use and experience.

[0072] In some embodiments, Figure 3 As shown, each adjustment assembly also includes a knob 112, which is fixed to the end of the stud 111. The knob 112 is configured to rotate in a controlled manner to drive the stud 111 to rotate relative to the housing, thereby allowing the stud 111 to extend or shorten in the left-right direction of the air conditioner indoor unit 200.

[0073] Specifically, the stud 111 is screwed into the air conditioner indoor unit 200, and the knob 112 is arranged on the end of the stud 111 away from the air conditioner indoor unit 200. The left and right side surfaces of the air conditioner indoor unit 200 are provided with threaded holes, and the stud 111 matches the threaded holes, so that the stud 111 and the air conditioner indoor unit 200 are closely matched, generating sufficient friction, so that the stud 111 is firmly installed on the air conditioner indoor unit 200.

[0074] The stud 111 is detachably connected to the threaded hole. When the gap between the indoor unit 200 of the air conditioner and the cabinet 300 needs to be adjusted, the stud 111 can be conveniently rotated to extend or shorten the stud 111.

[0075] The stud 111 cooperates with the knob 112, and the knob 112 can be manually rotated to adjust the gap between the air conditioner indoor unit 200 and the cabinet 300 by adjusting the extension length of the knob 112 and the stud 111. Compared with directly manually pushing the air conditioner indoor unit 200, the operation by rotating the knob 112 and the stud 111 is simpler and has higher adjustment accuracy.

[0076] Figure 4 It is a schematic structural diagram of a knob 112 according to an embodiment of the present utility model.

[0077] In some embodiments, Figure 4 As shown, the knob 112 is polygonal. That is, the overall shape of the knob 112 is polygonal.

[0078] The design of the polygonal knob 112 increases the contact area between the operator's hand and the adjustment component 10, provides more points of force, makes manual operation of the adjustment component 10 more stable, reduces the possibility of slipping, and facilitates manual rotation.

[0079] The design of the polygonal knob 112 also takes into account the principles of ergonomics, making it more comfortable for the hand to hold and reducing hand fatigue. This design helps to maintain the stability and force control of the hand during long-term operation of the adjustment component 10.

[0080] By using the polygonal knob 112, the rotational torque applied by the hand can be more effectively transmitted to the adjustment component 10, reducing torque loss. This efficient torque transmission makes it easier to screw the adjustment component 10 in or out, reducing the operation difficulty and thus improving the efficiency of flash seam adjustment.

[0081] In one embodiment, the knob 112 is hexagonal. In other embodiments, the shape of the knob 112 can be designed according to actual needs.

[0082] Compared with a circular or other shape, the hexagonal knob 112 design can better fit the shape of the fingers when rotated, providing a larger gripping area, thus enhancing the gripping force of the hand, reducing the slipping phenomenon, facilitating the precise adjustment of the elongation or shortening length of the stud 111, and improving the accuracy of flash seam adjustment.

[0083] In some embodiments, the contact surface between the knob 112 and the cabinet 300 is a rough surface, which is beneficial to increasing the friction between the adjustment component 10 and the cabinet 300, making the overall structure more stable when the adjustment component 10 abuts against the cabinet 300.

[0084] Figure 5 It is a schematic structural diagram of an adjustment component according to another embodiment of the present invention.

[0085] In some embodiments, as Figure 5 shown, each adjustment component 10 further includes a driving member 12. The driving member 12 is connected to the stud 111 and is configured to controllably drive the stud 111 to rotate relative to the housing, so that the stud 111 extends or shortens in the left-right direction of the air conditioner indoor unit 200.

[0086] The driving member 12 is installed on the side of the air conditioner indoor unit 200. When the driving member 12 on one side of the air conditioner indoor unit 200 is controlled to drive the stud 111 to extend, the cabinet wall of the cabinet 300 on that side has a reaction force on the adjustment component 10, causing the air conditioner indoor unit 200 to move to the other side.

[0087] The driving member 12 drives the stud 111, which can achieve automation and automatically complete the flash seam adjustment process through a mechanical structure, reducing the need for manual intervention. Compared with manually rotating the adjustment component 10, the driving method using the driving member 12 can provide a more precise adjustment effect, quickly respond and complete the adjustment, improve the efficiency of flash seam adjustment, and can also reduce errors and failures caused by improper or negligent human operation.

[0088] Of course, according to the actual situation, a manual adjustment method can be adopted for flexible adjustment. The manual method is not restricted by preset programs and parameters, and is more suitable for some occasions that require temporary adjustment or special treatment. Moreover, manual adjustment does not require complex equipment and technical support, and only simple operations are needed to complete the adjustment task, which reduces the technical requirements for operators and also reduces equipment costs. Since it does not rely on vulnerable components such as electronic components, manual adjustment has higher reliability in certain environments.

[0089] In some embodiments, the driving member 12 is directly connected to the stud 111, and directly drives the stud 111 to extend or retract. Since the intermediate transmission mechanism is omitted, the structure of the directly-driven driving member 12 is relatively simple, which is beneficial to cost reduction, reduces the failure points, can simplify the maintenance process, improves the overall reliability and stability of the flash seam adjusting device 100, and significantly reduces the operating noise.

[0090] In one embodiment, the driving member 12 can be a motor. The direct drive method of the motor is direct and efficient, with a fast response speed. In other embodiments, the driving member 12 can also be other devices with driving functions, such as a cylinder.

[0091] In some embodiments, each adjusting assembly 10 further includes a gear assembly 13. The gear assembly 13 is respectively connected to the driving member 12 and the stud 111, and the gear assembly 13 is arranged to rotate under the drive of the driving member 12, thereby driving the stud 111 to rotate. By arranging the gear assembly 13 between the driving member 12 and the stud 111, and utilizing the characteristic of stable transmission of gear transmission, the stability during the power transmission of the driving member 12 can be improved, and vibration and impact can be reduced.

[0092] Moreover, compared with the driving member 12 directly driving the driving member 12, the driving member 12 required by the gear assembly 13 has a smaller structure, which can reduce the size of the driving member 12, reduce the space occupied by the driving member 12, and reduce the weight of the flash seam adjusting device, making the structure of the adjusting assembly 10 compact and achieving efficient transmission within a limited space.

[0093] The gear assembly 13 can ensure a constant instantaneous transmission ratio, has an accurate transmission ratio, and high working reliability. Compared with the direct drive of the driving member 12, it has higher stability and can accurately output rotational speed and torque.

[0094] In some embodiments, each adjusting assembly 10 includes a gear assembly 13. The gear assembly 13 is located between the driving member 12 and the stud 111, which can improve the driving efficiency of the driving member 12.

[0095] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 6, the gear assembly 13 includes a first gear 131 and a second gear 132. The first gear 131 is connected to the driving member 12. The second gear 132 is fixedly sleeved on the stud 111 and meshes with the first gear 131. In this way, when the second gear 132 rotates, it can drive the stud 111 to rotate.

[0096] In some embodiments, the diameter of the first gear 131 can be made smaller than that of the second gear 132, so as to improve the energy utilization rate of the motor, and it is also convenient to design a small-sized motor and reduce the space occupied by the flash gap adjusting device 100.

[0097] Through the cooperation of the first gear 131 and the second gear 132, high-precision transmission can be achieved, ensuring the stability and accuracy of the driving of the driving member 12.

[0098] The transmission efficiency of gear transmission is very high, which can reduce the energy loss of the driving member 12, improve the overall performance of the driving member 12, and is beneficial to improving the energy utilization rate of the driving member 12.

[0099] The gear transmission part is finely processed and has high machining accuracy and durability. These components can withstand long-term and high-intensity operation, ensuring the stability and reliability of the flash gap adjusting device 100.

[0100] The gear transmission structure is compact and occupies a small space, which can realize the lightweight and miniaturization of the flash gap adjusting device 100. Moreover, when directly driven by a motor, the required motor size is very large, while when using a gear transmission structure, the required motor size is much smaller, which can reduce the space occupied by the flash gap adjusting device 100.

[0101] Figure 6 It is a schematic assembly diagram of the adjusting mechanism group 110 according to another embodiment of the present invention.

[0102] In some embodiments, as Figure 6 shown, the flash gap adjusting device 100 further includes a controller 120. The controller 120 is respectively connected to the adjusting components 10 of the two groups of adjusting mechanism groups 110, and is used to control any one of the adjusting components 10 in any one of the adjusting mechanism groups 110 to extend or shorten. In this way, the user can control the adjusting component 10 in the adjusting mechanism group 110 to extend or shorten through the controller 120, so as to adjust the flash gap between the indoor unit 200 of the air conditioner and the cabinet 300.

[0103] In some embodiments, each adjustment mechanism group 110 further includes a sensor 20. The sensor 20 is installed on the corresponding side of the housing and is connected to the controller 120. The sensor 20 is used to obtain the flash gap information between the housing and the adjacent first cabinet wall 310 or the second cabinet wall 320, so that the controller 120 controls any one of the adjustment components 10 in any one of the adjustment mechanism groups 110 to extend or shorten according to the flash gap information.

[0104] See Figure 5 , two sensors 20 are located at the upper part of the indoor unit 200 of the air conditioner and are respectively located on the left and right sides of the indoor unit 200 of the air conditioner, and can respectively sense the size and difference of the flash gap between the housing on the corresponding side of the indoor unit 200 of the air conditioner and the cabinet 300.

[0105] In some embodiments, the sensor 20 is an ultrasonic distance sensor. The ultrasonic distance sensor can sense the distance information between the left and right sides of the indoor unit 200 of the air conditioner and the cabinet 300, and convert the sensed information into an electrical signal and output it. When the sizes of the flash gaps on both sides sensed by the sensor 20 are inconsistent, the driving member 12 drives the stud 111 to move, so that the indoor unit 200 of the air conditioner moves towards the side with the larger flash gap, so that the flash gaps on the left and right sides of the indoor unit 200 of the air conditioner are adjusted to be consistent. In some other embodiments, the sensor 20 can also be an infrared distance sensor, a laser distance sensor, etc.

[0106] Compared with directly observing the difference in the flash gaps on the left and right sides of the indoor unit of the air conditioner with the naked eye, the measurement of the sensor 20 is more accurate, avoiding the human error and mechanical error brought by the traditional measurement method, and can improve the accuracy and reliability of the flash gap adjustment, bringing a better visual experience to the user.

[0107] The sensor 20 does not need to be in direct contact with the cabinet 300 or the housing of the indoor unit 200 of the air conditioner at the measured flash gap during the measurement of the flash gap, avoiding the measurement error and damage of the sensor 20 caused by reasons such as friction and wear.

[0108] The sensor 20 can sense the change in the size of the flash gap in real time and feedback data in a timely manner, providing the possibility for real-time control and adjustment. When the flash gap adjustment changes dynamically, the sensor 20 can respond quickly and accurately record the change in the gap size, ensuring that the flash gap between the indoor unit 200 of the air conditioner and the cabinet 300 is within a reasonable range.

[0109] The controller 120 is connected to the sensor 20, realizing the automation and intelligence of the flash gap measurement. The sensor 20 can perform real-time processing and analysis on the measured data, extract useful information and output it to the controller 120.

[0110] When the controller 120 controls the two sets of adjustment mechanism groups 110 to adjust the flash seams, first, the inductor 20 senses whether the flash seam sizes on the left and right sides of the indoor unit 200 of the air conditioner are the same. If they are not the same, for example, if the flash seam on the left side is larger than that on the right side, at this time, the sensor transmits an adjustment signal to the controller 120. The controller 120 controls the driving member 12 in the adjustment assembly 10 on the right side to drive the stud 111 to extend to the right until it abuts against the right cabinet wall of the cabinet 300, and then continues to extend. The reaction force of the right cabinet wall on the stud 111 causes the stud 111 to push the indoor unit 200 of the air conditioner to move to the left, so that the flash seam on the right side of the indoor unit 200 of the air conditioner increases and the flash seam on the left side decreases. The method of adjusting the flash seam when the flash seam on the right side is larger than that on the left side is the same.

[0111] The inductor 20 determines whether the flash seam sizes on the left and right sides of the adjusted indoor unit 200 of the air conditioner are the same. If they are not the same, the controller 120 continues to control the driving member 12 in the adjustment mechanism group 110 to drive the stud 111 to move until the flash seam sizes on the left and right sides of the indoor unit 200 of the air conditioner are the same, and the flash seam adjustment ends.

[0112] In some embodiments, the adjustment may also end when the difference between the flash seams on the left and right sides of the indoor unit 200 of the air conditioner is less than a preset value. That is, when the difference between the flash seams on the left and right sides is less than this preset value, it can be regarded as the adjustment being completed. The preset value can be set according to actual needs, for example, 0.5 mm.

[0113] When the difference between the flash seams on the left and right sides of the indoor unit 200 of the air conditioner is less than 0.5 mm, it is regarded that the left and right flash seams are evenly distributed, and at this time, the flash seam adjustment is completed.

[0114] The embodiment of the present invention also provides an indoor unit system 1000 of an air conditioner. Refer to Figure 2 This indoor unit system 1000 of the air conditioner includes the flash seam adjustment device 100 and the indoor unit 200 of the air conditioner in any of the above embodiments. For the flash seam adjustment device 100, it will not be elaborated here one by one.

[0115] In the indoor unit system 1000 of the air conditioner in the embodiment of the present invention, the two sets of adjustment mechanism groups 110 of the flash seam adjustment device 100 are respectively arranged on the left and right sides of the housing of the indoor unit 200 of the air conditioner. The indoor unit 200 of the air conditioner is installed in the cabinet 300. Each set of adjustment mechanism groups 110 includes at least one adjustable adjustment assembly 10. When there is a gap between one set of adjustment mechanism groups 110 and the adjacent first cabinet wall 310, any one adjustment assembly 10 in the other set of adjustment mechanism groups 110 is set to extend controllably towards the adjacent second cabinet wall 320, and continues to extend after abutting against the second cabinet wall 320, so as to push the indoor unit 200 of the air conditioner towards the first cabinet wall 310 to adjust the flash seams between the indoor unit 200 of the air conditioner and the first cabinet wall 310 and the second cabinet wall 320.

[0116] In the above technical solution, when the flash gaps between the air conditioner indoor unit 200 and the first cabinet wall 310 and the second cabinet wall 320 are uneven, the adjusting assembly 10 on the side with the smaller flash gap is controlled to extend towards the adjacent cabinet wall. During the extension process, the adjusting assembly 10 has a force on the cabinet wall, and the cabinet wall has a reaction force on the adjusting assembly 10, so that the adjusting assembly 10 pushes the air conditioner indoor unit 200 to move towards the cabinet wall on the side with the larger flash gap. Thus, the flash gaps between the air conditioner indoor unit 200 and the first cabinet wall 310 and the second cabinet wall 320 of the cabinet body 300 when the air conditioner indoor unit 200 is located in the cabinet body 300 can be adjusted, so that the flash gaps on both sides are evenly distributed, thereby improving the aesthetics of the air conditioner indoor unit 200, enhancing the user's sense of use and experience. The heat dissipation spaces on the left and right sides of the air conditioner indoor unit 200 are evenly distributed, which is also beneficial to the uniform heat dissipation of the air conditioner indoor unit 200.
