[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 Figure 1-Figure 7 As shown, the air conditioner indoor unit of the embodiment of the present invention includes a heat exchanger 100 , a heat exchange air duct 200 , a receiving chamber 300 and a first fan 400 .

[0036] It is used to exchange heat with the first airflow entering the air conditioner indoor unit and produce condensed water 600. In other words, outside air enters the air conditioner indoor unit and passes through the heat exchanger 100, so that the air and the heat exchanger 100 exchange heat. Among them, the moisture carried by the airflow condenses on the heat exchanger 100, thereby producing condensed water 600.

[0037] The heat exchange duct 200 is used to pass the first airflow, and the outlet of the heat exchange duct 200 forms the first air outlet 210. That is, the first airflow after heat exchange with the heat exchanger 100 enters the heat exchange duct 200 and is blown into the room through the first air outlet 210.

[0038] The accommodating chamber 300 is configured to collect condensed water 600. A second air outlet 310 communicating with the outside is provided on the accommodating chamber 300. The accommodating chamber 300 is separated from the heat exchange duct 200. The heat exchanger 100 can be located within the accommodating chamber 300, allowing the condensed water 600 on the heat exchanger 100 to drip directly into the accommodating chamber 300. Alternatively, the heat exchanger 100 can be located in a space separate from the accommodating chamber 300, allowing the condensed water 600 to be transported to the accommodating chamber 300 via a pipe.

[0039] The first fan 400 is disposed in the accommodating chamber 300 , and is used to promote the formation of a second airflow carrying moisture and blown out through the first air outlet 210 .

[0040] The specific implementation of the air conditioner indoor unit according to the embodiment of the utility model is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0041] Outside air enters the air conditioner indoor unit, passes through the heat exchanger 100, and exchanges heat with the heat exchanger 100. The heat exchanger 100 condenses moisture in the air, producing condensed water 600, which flows into the heat exchange duct 200. This airflow, after heat exchange, enters the heat exchange duct 200 (i.e., the first airflow), and is ultimately blown into the room through the first air outlet 210.

[0042] The condensed water 600 in the accommodating chamber 300 cools the air in the accommodating chamber 300 . The first fan 400 operates to form a second airflow in the accommodating chamber 300 . The second airflow is blown into the room through the second air outlet 310 .

[0043] The second airflow is formed by the air in the accommodating cavity 300 that has been cooled by the condensed water 600 , and the first airflow carries a portion of the condensed water 600 while flowing, thereby making full use of the cold energy contained in the condensed water 600 .

[0044] Compared with the related art, the air-conditioning indoor unit of the embodiment of the present invention is provided with a accommodating chamber 300 capable of accommodating condensed water 600 and a first fan 400. The first fan 400 can form a second airflow with a portion of the cooling capacity of the condensed water 600 in the accommodating chamber 300, and the second airflow is blown into the room, thereby fully utilizing the cooling capacity of the air-conditioning indoor unit, thereby improving the utilization rate of the cooling capacity of the air-conditioning indoor unit of the embodiment of the present invention.

[0045] To make this application easier to understand, the following describes an air conditioner indoor unit according to an embodiment of the present invention, taking the vertical direction as being consistent with the up-down direction and the horizontal direction as being consistent with the left-right direction as an example. The air conditioner indoor unit includes a housing 500, in which the heat exchanger 100, the heat exchange duct 200, and the first fan 400 are all disposed.

[0046] In some embodiments, as Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, the heat exchange air duct 200 and the accommodating cavity 300 are sequentially arranged in the up and down directions, and the first air outlet 210 is located at the bottom of the second air outlet 310 .

[0047] That is to say, the air outlet structure formed by the heat exchange duct 200 and the air outlet structure formed by the accommodating cavity 300 and the second air outlet 310 are spaced apart in the upper and lower directions, so that the air outlet of the air-conditioning indoor unit of the embodiment of the utility model is more uniform, the indoor area can be cooled more evenly, and the user's comfort is improved.

[0048] In some embodiments, the first air outlet 210 and the second air outlet 310 are staggered in the horizontal direction, thereby further improving the air outlet uniformity of the air conditioner indoor unit of this embodiment and providing a better user experience.

[0049] For example, the first air outlet 210 is provided on the front wall of the air-conditioning indoor unit of this embodiment, and the second air outlet 310 is provided on the left side of the air-conditioning indoor unit of this embodiment.

[0050] In other embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, the second air outlet 310 is a long strip air outlet extending in the left-right direction, so that the second air outlet 310 can discharge air evenly in the left-right direction, making the indoor temperature change more uniform and improving the indoor comfort.

[0051] In some optional embodiments, such as Figure 4As shown, the embodiment of the present invention further includes a set of air guide plates 410, which includes a plurality of air guide plates 410. The plurality of air guide plates 410 in the air guide plate set 410 are sequentially arranged in the left-right direction, and each air guide plate set 410 is used to adjust the airflow out of the second air outlet 310 in the left-right direction. The plurality of air guide plates 410 are arranged at the second air outlet 310, dividing the second air outlet 310 into a plurality of areas. When air is discharged from each area, the airflow is guided by the two air guide plates 410 corresponding to that area, thereby controlling the airflow out of the second air outlet 310 in the left-right direction.

[0052] In some optional embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, the first air outlet 210 and the second air outlet 310 are both provided on the front wall of the air conditioner indoor unit. When both the first air outlet 210 and the second air outlet 310 are in the air outlet state, the air outlet from the second air outlet 310 can be mixed with the air outlet from the first air outlet 210, thereby making the air outlet temperature of the first air outlet 210 and the second air outlet 310 more uniform and improving the comfort of the air outlet.

[0053] Furthermore, a rotatable air guide plate 410 is provided at the second air outlet 310 , and the rotation axis of the rotating end of the air guide plate 410 is consistent with the left-right direction, so that the air guide plate 410 can swing in the up-down direction.

[0054] When the first air outlet 210 and the second air outlet 310 are both in the air outlet state, the free end of the air guide plate 410 can be rotated upward so that the air outlet of the second air outlet 310 can be mixed with the air outlet of the first air outlet 210, thereby making the air outlet temperature of the first air outlet 210 and the second air outlet 310 more uniform and improving the comfort of the air outlet.

[0055] In addition, the second air outlet 310 can discharge air independently, and the free end of the air guide plate 410 can swing in the up and down directions to control the air discharge direction of the second air outlet 310 in the up and down directions.

[0056] In some embodiments, as Figure 1-Figure 7 As shown, there are multiple second air outlets 310, spaced apart in the left-right direction on the front wall of the air conditioner indoor unit. In other words, before the second airflow is blown out of the air conditioner indoor unit, it will be obstructed by the front wall of the air conditioner indoor unit, reducing the flow rate of the second airflow, and finally blown out through the multiple second air outlets 310. This makes the air discharged from the multiple second air outlets 310 feel windless, improving the comfort of the airflow.

[0057] In some embodiments, as Figure 5As shown, the accommodating chamber 300 includes a first chamber 320 and a second chamber 330, which are spaced apart in the left-right direction, and the heat exchange duct 200 is located between the first chamber 320 and the second chamber 330 in the left-right direction. The first chamber 320 is located on the left side of the heat exchange duct 200, and the second chamber 330 is located on the right side of the heat exchange duct 200.

[0058] There are two second air outlets 310, one communicating with the first chamber 320 and the other communicating with the second chamber 330. Condensed water 600 is contained in both the first chamber 320 and the second chamber 330. There are two first fans 400, one of which is disposed within the first chamber 320 and corresponds to the second air outlet 310 corresponding to the first chamber 320, such that the first fan 400 facilitates the formation of an airflow out of the first chamber 320. Another of which is disposed within the second chamber 330 and corresponds to the second air outlet 310 corresponding to the second chamber 330, such that the first fan 400 facilitates the formation of an airflow out of the second chamber 330.

[0059] In other words, the first chamber 320 and the second chamber 330 discharge air on both sides of the second air outlet 310, so that the air outlet of the air conditioner indoor unit of the embodiment of the utility model is more uniform, the indoor area can be cooled more evenly, and the user's comfort is improved.

[0060] In some embodiments, the air conditioner indoor unit of the present invention further includes a water pan 510 located at the bottom of the heat exchanger 100 to collect condensed water 600. The water pan 510 is in communication with the accommodating chamber 300. After the heat exchanger 100 exchanges heat with the airflow, condensed water 600 condenses on the surface of the heat exchanger 100. After a certain amount of condensed water 600 accumulates, it drips from the surface of the heat exchanger 100 and is collected by the water pan 510 at the bottom of the heat exchanger 100. The condensed water 600 then flows into the accommodating chamber 300 through the water pan 510. This facilitates the collection of condensed water 600 on the heat exchanger 100, improving practicality.

[0061] Specifically, two water outlets 511 are provided on the water receiving tray 510 , each water outlet 511 is provided on one side of the water receiving tray 510 in the left-right direction, and the heat exchange air duct 200 is located between the two water outlets 511 in the left-right direction.

[0062] There are two drainage pipes, one end of one drainage pipe is connected to a water outlet 511, and the other end of the one drainage pipe is connected to the accommodating chamber 300, and one end of the other drainage pipe is connected to another water outlet 511, and the other end of the other drainage pipe is connected to the accommodating chamber 300.

[0063] In other words, the two drainage pipes 520 are located on either side of the heat exchange duct 200 in the left and right directions, thereby preventing the two drainage pipes 520 from interfering with the normal air flow of the heat exchange duct 200. Furthermore, the condensed water 600 is supplied to the accommodating chamber 300 through the two drainage pipes 520, allowing the condensed water 600 to enter the heat exchange chamber more evenly, thereby further improving the heat exchange efficiency.

[0064] In some optional embodiments, the lower end of the drainage pipe located on the left side is communicated with the first chamber 320 , and the lower end of the drainage pipe located on the right side is communicated with the second chamber 330 .

[0065] Furthermore, a valve body 521 is provided on the two drainage pipes 520 to facilitate control of the disconnection or connection between the two drainage pipes 520 and the accommodating chamber 300 .

[0066] The accommodating chamber 300 is provided with a water outlet 511 connected to the outside world. A pump body 530 is provided in the accommodating chamber 300. The water inlet end of the pump body 530 can enter the condensed water 600. The water outlet end of the pump body 530 is connected to the water outlet 511, so that the condensed water 600 in the accommodating chamber 300 can be extracted through the pump body 530 to avoid excessive amount of condensed water 600 in the accommodating chamber 300.

[0067] An air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present invention includes an air conditioner indoor unit according to any of the above embodiments. The air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present invention includes an air conditioner indoor unit provided with a receiving chamber 300 capable of receiving condensed water 600 and a first fan 400. The first fan 400 can form a second airflow containing a portion of the cooling capacity of the condensed water 600 in the receiving chamber 300 and blow the second airflow into the room, thereby fully utilizing the cooling capacity of the air conditioner indoor unit and improving the cooling capacity utilization rate of the air conditioner indoor unit according to the embodiment of the present invention.

[0068] In some embodiments, the air conditioner of this embodiment further includes an air conditioner outdoor unit, and the air conditioner indoor unit and the air conditioner outdoor unit are detachably fixedly connected via a connecting end (not shown in the figure).

[0069] In this embodiment, the connecting end can be a magnetic end, a snap-on end, a sleeve end, a welded pipe joint, etc., which can quickly connect and install the first wiring end and the second wiring end.

[0070] The connection ends can also be provided with male and female connectors. For example, the pipe joints of the indoor and outdoor units are female, and both ends of the connecting pipe are male. For another example, the outdoor end of the connecting pipe is male, and the pipe joint of the outdoor unit is female, while the indoor end of the connecting pipe is female, and the pipe joint of the indoor unit is male.

[0071] 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.
