[0051] As Figure 5 shown, the opening of the air outlet end of the first air outlet duct 111 faces backward, the air inlet end of the first air outlet duct 111 is bent downward and connected to the air outlet end of the fourth housing 131, the opening of the air outlet end of the second air outlet duct 112 faces forward, and the second air outlet duct 112 is a branch duct formed on the first air outlet duct 111.
[0052] Alternatively, it can also be that the opening of the air outlet end of the first air outlet duct 111 faces backward, the opening of the air outlet end of the second air outlet duct 112 faces forward, the air inlet end of the second air outlet duct 112 is bent downward and connected to the air outlet end of the fourth housing 131, and the first air outlet duct 111 is a branch duct formed on the second air outlet duct 112.
[0053] As Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, the third housing 121 includes a slot portion 1211 and a first connection portion 1212. The first housing 21 includes a plug-in portion 211 corresponding to the slot portion 1211 and a second connection portion 212 corresponding to the first connection portion 1212. The plug-in portion 211 is detachably inserted into the slot portion 1211, specifically inserted in the direction from right to left in Figure 7 . When the plug-in portion 211 is inserted into the slot portion 1211, the first connection portion 1212 is snap-connected or connected by a fastener to the second connection portion 212; in this embodiment, the first connection portion 1212 and the second connection portion 212 are connected by a fastener. It should be noted that the number of the first connection portions 1212 is not limited to one, and the position is not limited to that shown in the figure. Through the above arrangement, the first housing 21 can be conveniently mounted on the third housing 121, facilitating the disassembly, assembly and maintenance of the terminal block assembly 2.
[0054] As Figure 8 and Figure 9 shown, a first card slot portion 41 is provided on the base 4. The second housing 31 is located above the base 4 and there is a gap between the second housing 31 and the base 4. A first snap portion 51 is provided at the bottom of the front panel frame 5. The first snap portion 51 is configured to be able to pass through the gap and then be connected to the first card slot portion 41 from top to bottom to connect the front panel frame 5 to the base 4. Correspondingly, as Figure 10 and Figure 11 shown, the second snap portion 52 is configured to be able to enter the second card slot portion 61 in the front-back direction of the indoor unit of the cabinet air conditioner and then be connected to the second card slot portion 61 from top to bottom to connect the front panel frame 5 to the rear panel frame 6. Continuing to refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , before installing the front panel frame 5, first set the rear panel frame 6 on the base 4. When installing the front panel frame 5, align the second snap portion 52 with the corresponding second card slot portion 61, and move the front panel frame 5 backward in the front-back direction of the indoor unit of the cabinet air conditioner until the second snap portion 52 can enter the second card slot portion 61; during this process, the first snap portion 51 synchronously passes through the gap between the second housing 31 and the base 4 backward in the front-back direction of the indoor unit of the cabinet air conditioner until the first snap portion 51 aligns with the corresponding first card slot portion 41. Subsequently, move the front panel frame 5 downward in the height direction of the indoor unit of the cabinet air conditioner to connect the first snap portion 51 to the first card slot portion 41 and connect the second snap portion 52 to the second card slot portion 61.
[0055] For the indoor unit of the cabinet air conditioner provided by the embodiment of the present utility model, by separating the terminal block from the electrical box, the size of the electrical box can be reduced, especially the size of the electrical box in the height direction is reduced, so that there is a gap between the second housing 31 and the base 4, making the assembly process of the front panel frame 5 more convenient and reducing the assembly difficulty.
[0056] It should be noted that the number of the first buckle portions 51 is not limited to 1 shown in the figure, and can be 2, 3, 4, 5, etc. The number of the first card slot portions 41 is not limited to 1 shown in the figure, and can be 2, 3, 4, 5, etc.
