[0039] To make the above objects, features, and advantages of the present invention more obvious and understandable, the following detailed description of the specific embodiments of the present invention will be given with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0040] In the prior art, many indoor units of air conditioners are provided with sterilization modules, such as UVC modules and negative ion purification, etc. These are invisible during the sterilization process, and users cannot perceive the sterilization process.

[0041] To solve the above problems, this embodiment provides an indoor unit of an air conditioner, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown. The indoor unit of the air conditioner includes an air outlet 1. In addition, the indoor unit of the air conditioner also includes a base 10 and a sterilization module; a first installation position 11 is provided at the position of the base 10 corresponding to the air outlet 1; the sterilization module includes a sterilization lamp body 200 for sterilization, and the sterilization lamp body 200 is installed at the first installation position 11; wherein, when the sterilization module performs sterilization work, the sterilization lamp body 200 emits visible light.

[0042] Specifically, the sterilization module is a 222nm excimer lamp module, and the sterilization lamp body is a 222nm excimer lamp. When this sterilization module is working, the excimer lamp emits blue visible light.

[0043] It should be noted that the working principle of the 222nm excimer lamp module is to use the dielectric barrier discharge method to apply a high-frequency voltage to the enclosed KrCl mixed gas to generate ultraviolet rays. Its radiation spectrum band is narrow, and most of it is concentrated at 222nm, accompanied by a small amount of ultraviolet rays with wavelengths of 235 and 325nm.

[0044] In addition, ultraviolet rays with a wavelength of 222nm can damage the DNA and RNA of effective viruses, thereby achieving the sterilization effect; at the same time, the ultraviolet rays with a wavelength of 222nm have a short wavelength and cannot penetrate the skin cutin and the tear film of the eyes, which can ensure the safety of the human body.

[0045] Specifically, as Figure 1 shown, a first installation position 11 is provided at the position of the base 10 corresponding to the air outlet 1, and the sterilization lamp body is installed at the first installation position 11. When the sterilization module is working, users can see the visible light emitted by the sterilization lamp body from the air outlet 1, so that users can intuitively perceive the sterilization process.

[0046] Preferably, a wind deflector can be provided at the air outlet 1 of the indoor unit of the air conditioner. When the air conditioner executes the cooling or heating mode, the wind deflector opens to expose the air outlet 1. At this time, when the user executes the sterilization mode, the user can directly observe the light emitted by the sterilization lamp body 200 from the air outlet 1; when the air conditioner does not execute the cooling or heating mode, when the wind deflector is closed and the user executes the sterilization mode at this time, the wind deflector opens, so that the sterilization lamp body 200 can irradiate the indoor environment and enable the user to feel the sterilization process.

[0047] Furthermore, the sterilization lamp body 200 is snap-connected to the base 10.

[0048] Furthermore, as Figure 2 andFigure 4 As shown, the base 10 includes a mounting bracket 110. The mounting bracket 110 is disposed at the position of the base 10 corresponding to the first mounting position 11, and the germicidal lamp body 200 is snap-fitted to the mounting bracket 110.

[0049] Preferably, the first mounting position 11 is set at the middle position of the air outlet 1, and correspondingly, the mounting bracket 110 is disposed at the corresponding position on the base 10.

[0050] Furthermore, as Figure 3 and Figure 5 shown, the germicidal lamp body 200 includes a lamp tube 201 and a lamp head 202 that are connected to each other; the mounting bracket 110 includes a first card slot 111 and a second card slot 112 that are spaced apart; at least part of the lamp tube 201 is engaged with the first card slot 111; at least part of the lamp head 202 is engaged with the second card slot 112.

[0051] Specifically, the mounting bracket 110 includes a first card slot 111 and a second card slot 112. The first card slot 111 and the second card slot 112 are semi-circular structures, and the shape of the first card slot 111 is adapted to the shape of the lamp tube 201 of the germicidal lamp body 200, and the shape of the second card slot 112 is adapted to the shape of the lamp head 202 of the germicidal lamp body 200; when the air conditioner indoor unit is set at the working position, the semi-circular structures of the first card slot 111 and the second card slot 112 face upward, so that when the germicidal lamp body 200 is installed on the mounting bracket 110, the first card slot 111 and the second card slot 112 can support the germicidal lamp body 200.

[0052] Preferably, the first card slot 111 and the second card slot 112 are elastic structures, and when the germicidal lamp body 200 is installed on the mounting bracket 110, it can clamp the germicidal lamp body 200.

[0053] Furthermore, a limiting rib 113 is provided on one side of the second card slot 112 close to the first card slot 111; a stop portion 114 is provided on the base 10, and the stop portion 114 is disposed on the side of the second card slot 112 away from the first card slot 111; wherein, when at least part of the lamp head 202 is engaged with the second card slot 112, one end of the lamp head 202 in the extending direction of its axis abuts against the limiting rib 113, and the other end of the lamp head 202 disposed opposite thereto abuts against the stop portion 114.

[0054] Specifically, as Figure 5 shown, a limiting rib 113 is provided on one side of the second card slot 112 close to the first card slot 111; as Figure 3As shown, the diameter of the lamp tube 201 in the radial direction is smaller than the diameter of the lamp cap 202 in the radial direction. When the lamp cap 202 is engaged with the second card slot 112, therefore, when the lamp cap 202 is engaged with the second card slot 112, the end face of the lamp cap will abut against the limiting rib 113; a stop portion 114 is provided on the base 10, and the stop portion 114 is provided on the side of the second card slot 112 away from the first card slot 111, as Figure 3 shown, when the lamp cap 202 is engaged with the second card slot 112, the other end of the lamp cap 202 arranged oppositely abuts against the stop portion 114, thereby restricting the movement of the germicidal lamp body 200 in the extending direction of its axis through the cooperation of the limiting rib 113 and the stop portion 114.

[0055] Further, as Figure 6 shown, the germicidal module includes a ballast 210, the ballast 210 is electrically connected to the germicidal lamp body 200, and the ballast 210 is installed in the second installation position of the base 10.

[0056] Specifically, the ballast 210 is electrically connected to the germicidal lamp body 200, and the ballast 210 functions to limit the current.

[0057] Further, as Figure 7 and Figure 8 shown, a buckle 211 is provided on one side of the ballast 210; the second installation position includes a card slot adapted to the buckle 211; wherein, the buckle 211 and the card slot cooperate to fix the ballast 210 to the second installation position.

[0059] Specifically, the second installation position is provided with a card slot and an installation hole. When installing the ballast 210 to the second installation position, it is necessary to first insert the buckle 211 on the ballast 210 into the card slot on one side of the second installation position, then buckle the ballast 210 to the second installation position, align the installation portion 212 of the ballast 210 with the installation hole on the other side of the second installation position, and fix the installation portion 212 and the installation hole by a fastener.

[0060] Preferably, positioning ribs 121 are further provided on the left and right sides of the second installation position, as Figure 7 shown, when installing the ballast 210 to the second installation position, the positioning ribs 121 can play a positioning role, and after the ballast 210 is installed in place, the positioning ribs 121 can also play a role in restricting the ballast 210 from shaking.

[0061] Preferably, the fastener is a screw.

[0062] Further, define the side of the base 10 where the first mounting position 11 is provided as the first side 101, and the opposite side as the second side 102; the second mounting position is provided on the second side 102 of the base 10.
