[0034] The air conditioner indoor unit according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0035] like Figures 1-9 As shown, the indoor unit of the air conditioner according to the embodiment of the present invention includes a housing 100 , a panel 200 and a limiting assembly 300 .

[0036] The housing 100 has an air inlet 110. A panel 200 is pivotally mounted on the air inlet 110 to enable the panel 200 to close or open the air inlet 110. When the panel 200 covers the air inlet 110, i.e., when the panel 200 is in the closed position, the panel 200 seals the air inlet 110, and outside air and dust are blocked by the panel 200 and cannot enter the housing 100 through the air inlet 110.

[0037] The housing 100 and the free end 210 of the panel 200 are connected via a stopper assembly 300. The stopper assembly 300 is configured to allow the panel 200 to move between a first open position and a second open position. When the panel 200 is in the first open position or the second open position, the air inlet 110 is open. A portion of the stopper assembly 300 is connected to the housing 100, and another portion of the stopper assembly 300 is connected to the free end 210 of the panel 200, so that the stopper assembly 300 limits the opening angle of the panel 200.

[0038] The opening angles of the air inlet 110 when the panel 200 is in the first open position and the air inlet 110 when the panel 200 is in the second open position are different, and the panel 200 in the second open position is located outside the panel 200 in the first open position. The opening angle of the panel 200 in the first open position is greater than the opening angle of the panel 200 in the first open position.

[0039] The free end 210 of the panel 200 in the second open position is detachable from the housing 100, allowing the panel 200 to move outward from the second open position. Specifically, the free end 210 of the panel 200 is connected to the housing 100 via a stopper assembly 300, which limits the opening angle of the panel 200. When the panel 200 is in the second open position, the connection between the free end 210 of the panel 200 and the housing 100 can be disconnected, allowing the panel 200 to be further opened.

[0040] In some optional embodiments, the portion of the limiting assembly 300 is detachably connected to the housing 100 .

[0041] In some other optional embodiments, the other portion of the limiting assembly 300 is detachably connected to the free end 210 of the panel 200 .

[0042] In some further optional embodiments, the portion of the limiting assembly 300 and the other portion of the limiting assembly 300 are detachably connected.

[0043] The specific implementation process of the air conditioner indoor unit according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0044] The panel 200 moves to the first open position, and the limiting assembly 300 limits the panel 200 to the first open position, so that the indoor air can enter the air inlet 110, so that the air conditioner indoor unit can normally take in air.

[0045] When it is necessary to load and unload the air-conditioning component through the air inlet 110, for example, when it is necessary to remove the filter provided at the air inlet 110, the panel 200 is moved to the second open position, and the free end 210 of the panel 200 is removed from the outer shell 100, so that the panel 200 can be further opened to load and unload the air-conditioning component.

[0046] When the indoor unit of the air conditioner is turned off, the panel 200 moves to a position where it covers the air inlet 110 to prevent indoor air from entering the air inlet 110 .

[0047] Compared with the related art, the air-conditioning indoor unit of the embodiment of the present invention utilizes a limit assembly 300 to limit the panel 200 to a first open position and a second open position, respectively. When the air-conditioning indoor unit does not need to be repaired, the limit assembly 300 limits the panel 200 to the first open position, allowing the air inlet 110 to continue to take in air. When the air-conditioning indoor unit needs to be repaired, the panel 200 is moved to the second open position, making the free end 210 of the panel 200 detachable from the housing 100, and allowing the panel 200 to be further opened to facilitate the installation and removal of the air-conditioning components by maintenance personnel. This solves the problem of maintenance personnel having difficulty in removing or installing the air-conditioning components installed at the air inlet 110 without affecting the user experience.

[0048] In some embodiments, as Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, the limiting assembly 300 includes a first connecting member 310 and a second connecting member 320. The first connecting member 310 is rotatably connected to the free end 210, and the second connecting member 320 is rotatably connected to the housing 100. The first connecting member 310 and the second connecting member 320 are detachably connected. The limiting assembly 300 is configured such that the first connecting member 310 and the second connecting member 320 can be disengaged when the panel 200 is in the second open position.

[0049] When the air conditioning component needs to be loaded and unloaded through the air inlet 110, the panel 200 is moved to the second open position, and the first connecting member 310 and the second connecting member 320 are removed so that the panel 200 can be further opened for loading and unloading the air conditioning component.

[0050] In some embodiments, as Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, the first connecting member 310 is provided with a sliding groove 313, and the extension direction of the sliding groove 313 is consistent with the length direction of the first connecting member 310. The second connecting member 320 is provided with a protrusion 321, and the protrusion 321 is movably engaged with the sliding groove 313 along the extension direction of the sliding groove 313. The sliding groove 313 is provided with a notch 314, and the notch 314 is configured so that when the panel 200 is in the second open position, the notch 314 corresponds to the protrusion 321, so that the first connecting member 310 and the second connecting member 320 are separated.

[0051] When the panel 200 moves to the second open position, the protrusion 321 on the second connecting member 320 corresponds to the notch 314 of the slide groove 313, so that the protrusion 321 can be separated from the slide groove 313 through the notch 314, so that the first connecting member 310 and the second connecting member 320 are disassembled.

[0052] When the panel 200 is located at a position other than the second open position, the protrusion 321 on the second connecting member 320 is restricted by the sliding groove 313 , so that the first connecting member 310 and the second connecting member 320 are stably connected.

[0053] Furthermore, if Figure 6 As shown, the first connecting member 310 includes a first portion 315 and a second portion 316 that are opposite each other in the transverse direction, and the first portion 315 and the second portion 316 are spaced apart in the transverse direction. The first connecting member 310 has two chutes 313, which are respectively provided on the first portion 315 and the second portion 316. The second connecting member 320 has two protrusions 321, which are respectively provided in the two chutes 313. The two protrusions 321 on the second connecting member 320 can be respectively provided in the chutes 313 of the first portion 315 and the chutes 313 of the second portion 316, thereby making the connection between the first connecting member 310 and the second connecting member 320 more stable.

[0054] Optionally, the angle α1 required for the panel 200 to rotate from the closed position to the first open position is 30°-45°. That is, α1 includes but is not limited to 30°, 32°, 35°, 37°, 40°, 42°, 43°, or 45°. This allows the panel 200 to have a smaller opening. When the panel 200 is in the first open position, the air inlet 110 can normally admit air, and the panel 200 extends less or not out of the accommodation space, thereby occupying less or no indoor space, providing a better user experience.

[0055] Optionally, the angle α2 required for the panel 200 to rotate from the closed position to the second open position is 75°-90°. In other words, α2 includes, but is not limited to, 75°, 77°, 80°, 81°, 85°, 87°, 89°, or 90°. This allows the panel 200 to open sufficiently wide, making it easier for maintenance personnel to remove or install air conditioning components installed at the air inlet 110.

[0056] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 and Figure 7 As shown, the first connecting member 310 includes a first end 311 and a second end 312. The first end 311 is rotatably connected to the panel 200, and the second end 312 is detachably connected to the panel 200. Since the second end 312 is detachably connected to the panel 200, the second end 312 can be connected to the panel 200, or the second end 312 can be detached from the panel 200.

[0057] like Figure 2 As shown, the first end 311 is rotatably connected to the panel 200. When the second end 312 is connected to the panel 200, the first connecting member 310 is fixed on the panel 200, and the panel 200 is restricted by the second connecting member 320 movably connected to it and the housing 100, and can only rotate between the closed position and the first open position.

[0058] like Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, when the second end 312 is detached from the panel 200, the second end 312 can freely rotate around the first end 311, so that the panel 200 can be further opened from the first open position to the second open position, so that the panel 200 can rotate between the closed position and the second open position.

[0059] By adjusting the connection state between the second end 312 of the first connecting member 310 and the panel 200 , that is, the second end 312 is connected to or disconnected from the panel 200 , not only the structure is simple but also the use is convenient.

[0060] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, the first connecting member 310 is provided with a slide groove 313, the extension direction of which is consistent with the length direction of the first connecting member 310; one end of the second connecting member 320 is rotatably connected to the housing 100, and the other end of the second connecting member 320 is movably engaged with the slide groove 313 along the extension direction of the slide groove 313. In other words, the other end of the second connecting member 320 can slide in the slide groove 313 along the extension direction of the slide groove 313, and the other end of the second connecting member 320 can also rotate relative to the first connecting member 310. Due to the movably engaged relationship between the other end of the second connecting member 320 and the slide groove 313, after the first connecting member 310 is connected to the panel 200 at the second end 312 of the first connecting member 310, the panel 200 can be restricted from rotating between the first open position and the closed position.

[0061] In some embodiments, as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a snap-fit groove 330 is provided on one of the second end 312 and the panel 200, and a snap-fit member 340 is provided on the other of the second end 312 and the panel 200. The snap-fit member 340 can cooperate with the snap-fit groove 330 to snap-fit the second end 312 to the panel 200.

[0062] In other words, the second end 312 is provided with a snap-fitting groove 330, and the panel 200 is provided with a snap-fitting member 340; or, the panel 200 is provided with a snap-fitting groove 330, and the second end 312 is provided with a snap-fitting member 340. Thus, by means of the snap-fitting member 340 cooperating with the snap-fitting groove 330, the second end 312 is detachably connected to the panel 200, which has a simple structure and is easy to manufacture.

[0063] In some embodiments, as Figure 8As shown, a snap-fitting member 340 is provided on the panel 200 , and the snap-fitting member 340 includes an elastic connecting portion 341 and a bent hook portion 342 , and the hook portion 342 is connected to the elastic connecting portion 341 ; a snap-fitting groove 330 is provided on the second end 312 , and the hook portion 342 can cooperate with the snap-fitting groove 330 .

[0064] When the second end 312 is installed on the panel 200, the elastic connecting part 341 is pulled to move the hook part 342 away from the second end 312. After the second end 312 moves to the position corresponding to the snap-fit groove 330 and the hook part 342, the snap-fit part 340 is restored by its own elasticity, thereby making the hook part 342 fit in the snap-fit groove 330.

[0065] When removing the second end 312 from the panel 200, the elastic connecting portion 341 is pulled to move the hook portion 342 away from the second end 312, and the engaging groove 330 at the second end 312 can be disengaged from the hook portion 342. After the second end 312 is removed, the engaging member 340 is restored by its own elasticity.

[0066] In some embodiments, as Figure 8 As shown, the hook portion 342 includes a first guide surface 343, which is formed at one end of the hook portion 342 away from the panel 200. The first guide surface 343 is tilted, and one end of the first guide surface 343 adjacent to the second end 312 is adjacent to the panel 200 relative to the other end thereof.

[0067] When installing the second end 312, the first guide surface 343 is squeezed by the second end 312, causing the hook portion 342 to be forced away from the second end 312. The portion of the elastic connection portion 341 connected to the hook portion 342 will deform toward the side away from the second end 312, allowing the second end 312 to smoothly move to the position corresponding to the engaging groove 330 and the hook portion 342. This eliminates the need to pull the engaging member 340, and only requires pressing the second end 312 to perform the engaging operation, thereby improving installation convenience.

[0068] In some embodiments, as Figure 9 As shown, the panel 200 is provided with a stopper 350, which includes a mating surface 351. The stopper 350 is configured such that when the first connector 310 is mated with the mating surface 351, the clip 340 is mated with the snap groove 330. Thus, the second end 312 can be more smoothly engaged with the clip 340 through the guidance of the mating surface 351, thereby improving practicality.

[0069] In some embodiments, as Figure 5 and Figure 7As shown, the stopper 350 further includes a second guide surface 352. The second guide surface 352 is located on the side of the mating surface 351 away from the panel 200, and the mating surface 351 is connected to the second guide surface 352. The second guide surface 352 is arranged at an angle, and the end of the second guide surface 352 away from the panel 200 is farther away from the first connecting member 310 than the other end. Therefore, the guiding effect of the second guide surface 352 allows the second end 312 to move more smoothly to a position where it mates with the mating surface 351, thereby improving practicality.

[0070] The air conditioner of the embodiment of the present invention includes the air conditioner indoor unit of any one of the above embodiments.

[0071] The air conditioner indoor unit of the embodiment of the present invention utilizes a limit assembly 300 to limit the panel 200 to a first open position and a second open position, respectively. When the air conditioner indoor unit does not need to be repaired, the limit assembly 300 limits the panel 200 to the first open position, allowing the air inlet 110 to continue to enter. When the air conditioner indoor unit needs to be repaired, the panel 200 is moved to the second open position, making the free end 210 of the panel 200 detachable from the housing 100, and allowing the panel 200 to be further opened to facilitate the installation and removal of the air conditioner components by maintenance personnel. This solves the problem of maintenance personnel having difficulty removing or installing the air conditioner components installed at the air inlet 110 without affecting the user experience.

[0072] At this point, those skilled in the art should recognize that, although multiple exemplary embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described in detail herein, many other variations or modifications consistent with the principles of the present invention can be directly determined or deduced from the contents disclosed herein without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
