[0026] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention. In addition, it should be understood that the specific implementation methods described herein are only used to illustrate and explain the present invention, and are not used to limit the present invention. In the present invention, unless otherwise specified, the directional words used, such as "upper" and "lower", generally refer to the upper and lower parts of the device in actual use or working state, specifically the drawing direction in the accompanying drawings; while "inside" and "outside" refer to the outline of the device.

[0027] The embodiment of the present application provides an air conditioner indoor unit to solve the problem of dust easily accumulating at the air outlet 12. The indoor unit will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0028] The embodiments provided in this application are as follows: Figure 1 As shown, the air conditioner indoor unit includes a main body 1 and an air guide component 2. The main body 1 includes a panel 11. The panel 11 is provided with an air outlet 12. The air guide component 2 is movably extended out of the main body 1 through the air outlet 12 or retracted into the main body 1.

[0029] It should be noted that the panel 11 is located on the front side of the air conditioner indoor unit. It is understandable that by arranging the air outlet 12 on the panel 11, compared with the related art of arranging the air outlet 12 at the front and bottom of the air conditioner indoor unit, it can reduce the ingress of dust into the main body 1; at the same time, the air outlet 12 of the air guide component 2 is retracted into the main body 1. When the air conditioner is turned off, the air guide component 2 is hidden in the main body 1, making it difficult to see the air guide component 2 from the exterior surface, visually improving the structural fluidity, simplicity and aesthetics; in addition, the air outlet 12 located on the panel 11 has a larger air outlet range, and the movable air guide component 2 can achieve multi-angle precise air supply, which can better improve user comfort.

[0030] In some embodiments, the air guide assembly 2 is provided with an air guide outlet 21, which is located on the side of the side wall of the air guide assembly 2 facing the air outlet 12. The air guide assembly 2 is movably connected to the main body 1 to drive the air guide outlet 21 to extend out of the main body 1 along the side wall of the air outlet 12 or to be retracted into the main body 1.

[0031] It should be noted that "the air guide assembly 2 moves" can mean moving along a straight line or along a curve, and the air guide assembly 2 can be moved by sliding. It is understood that by using a movable air guide assembly 2 and arranging the air guide port 21 on the side facing the air outlet 12, when the air guide assembly 2 is retracted into the main body 1, the main body 1 can completely block the air guide port 21, thereby improving the dust prevention effect.

[0032] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the air guide assembly 2 is provided with an air guide port 21. The air guide assembly 2 is rotatably connected to the main body 1. The air guide assembly 2 rotatably drives the air guide port 21 through the air outlet 12 and then extends outside the main body 1 or is retracted into the main body 1. It should be noted that "the air guide assembly 2 rotates" can refer to rotation on its own or rotation around other structures.

[0033] In some embodiments, as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the air guide 21 and the rotating shaft of the air guide assembly 2 are respectively arranged near the two opposite side walls of the air outlet 12, and the air guide 21 faces one of the side walls of the air outlet 12. The air guide assembly 2 drives the air guide 21 along the side wall of the air outlet 12 to extend outside the main body 1 or retract into the main body 1. It can be understood that the rotating shaft of the air guide assembly 2 and the air guide 21 are separated from each other, and the air guide 2 can be extended from the main body 1 by rotating the air guide assembly 2 at a small angle. The opening and closing of the air guide 21 can quickly respond to the movement state and movement position of the air guide assembly 2.

[0034] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, a plurality of air guide assemblies 2 and air outlets 12 are provided in a one-to-one correspondence; the air conditioner indoor unit further includes a driving member for driving one or more air guide assemblies 2 to rotate. It should be noted that the driving member can be a common driving device such as a motor or a cylinder.

[0035] In some embodiments, a plurality of driving members and wind guide components 2 are provided in a one-to-one correspondence, so that the movement of different wind guide components 2 can be controlled separately.

[0036] In some embodiments, as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the air conditioner indoor unit further includes a gear 3 connected to a driving member. The air guide assembly 2 is provided with a plurality of spaced teeth, and there are two air guide assemblies 2. The driving member rotates to drive the gear 3 to engage with the plurality of spaced teeth on one air guide assembly 2 or switch to the plurality of spaced teeth on the other air guide assembly 2. It can be understood that when the gear 3 engages with the plurality of spaced teeth on any air guide assembly 2, the corresponding air guide assembly 2 is driven to rotate. When the gear 3 switches between the plurality of spaced teeth of two air guide assemblies 2, both air guide assemblies 2 are in a stationary state. In this way, a single driving member and gear 3 can drive both air guide assemblies 2, resulting in a simple structure and a compact size.

[0037] In some embodiments, as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the air guide assembly 2 is provided with a rack 23, and the multiple spaced teeth are the teeth of the rack 23. The two racks 23 are tangent to the gear 3. When the air guide port 21 is retracted into the main body 1, the teeth of the gear 3 are located between the two racks 23; or,

[0038] Air guide assembly 2 is equipped with a driven gear, with multiple spaced teeth representing the teeth of the driven gear. Two racks 23 are tangential to the driven gear. When air guide port 21 is retracted into main body 1, the teeth of gear 3 are located between the two driven gears. It is understood that by rotating gear 3 forward or reverse, the teeth of gear 3 mesh with the rack 23 or the driven gear, respectively, to drive the rotation of either air guide assembly 2.

[0039] In some embodiments, as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the two air guide components 2 are arranged along the direction of gravity, and the air guide ports 21 of the two air guide components 2 are respectively oriented toward the upper side and the lower side of the main body 1; the gear 3 is located between the two air guide components 2. It can be understood that, as Figure 3 As shown, when the teeth of the gear 3 are turned upward, they mesh with the rack 23 of the air guide assembly 2 located above the gear 3; when the teeth of the gear 3 are turned downward, as shown Figure 3 As shown, it is engaged with the rack 23 of the air guide assembly 2 located below the gear 3.

[0040] In other embodiments, the air conditioner indoor unit further includes multiple gears 3 connected to a drive member, with multiple air guide assemblies 2 provided in a one-to-one correspondence with the multiple gears 3, and multiple air guide assemblies 2 arranged side by side along the rotation axis of the gears 3. It will be understood that the drive member drives the multiple gears 3 to rotate, thereby driving the multiple air guide assemblies 2 to move synchronously. In other embodiments, a single gear 3 is provided, and multiple racks 23 engage with the gear 3 at different positions on the gear 3 to achieve synchronous movement of the multiple air guide assemblies 2.

[0041] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the air guide assembly 2 further includes an air guide plate 24 rotatably connected to the air guide port 21. It will be appreciated that the air guide plate 24 changes the direction and volume of air flowing out of the air guide port 21. The air guide plate 24 can employ any of the conventional air guide structures to achieve changes in the direction and volume of air flowing out.

[0042] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a plurality of air guide components 2 and air outlets 12 are provided in a one-to-one correspondence. When the air guide component 2 moves through the air outlet 12 and extends out of the main body 1, the air outlet directions of the plurality of air outlets 12 are different.

[0043] The air conditioner indoor unit further includes an air inlet duct 41 , and a plurality of air inlet ducts 41 are provided in a one-to-one correspondence with the air outlets 12 .

[0044] For example, the outlet directions of the multiple air outlets 12 can be horizontal, in the direction of gravity, or at an angle to both the horizontal and gravity directions. In this embodiment, two air guide assemblies 2 are provided along the direction of gravity, with the air guide assemblies 2 facing upward and downward, respectively, to achieve air supply at different heights within the indoor space. It is understood that by using multiple different outlet directions, air supply can be achieved in different areas. Different air inlet ducts 41 are used to independently supply air to the air outlets 12, ensuring that each air outlet 12 has a large air volume.

[0045] In some embodiments, as Figure 4 As shown, the air guide assembly 2 is provided with an aromatherapy slot 25 for placing aromatherapy tablets. The aromatherapy tablets placed in the aromatherapy slot 25 make the air out of the air guide assembly 2 more comfortable and pleasant. The aromatherapy slot 25 can be replaced with aromatherapy tablets or other air freshening devices for user convenience.

[0046] In some embodiments, as Figure 5 As shown, the air conditioner indoor unit further includes a plurality of fan assemblies 4, and the plurality of fan assemblies 4 correspond one to one with the plurality of air guide assemblies 2. This can effectively increase the air inlet area and improve the heat exchange efficiency.

[0047] In some embodiments, as Figure 5 As shown, two fan assemblies 4 and two air guide assemblies 2 are provided along the direction of gravity, and the fan assemblies are provided with air inlet ducts 41. The air inlet duct 41 of one fan assembly 4 is located on the upper side of the main body 1, and the air inlet duct 41 of the other fan assembly 4 is located on the lower side of the main body 1.
