Furthermore, the air conditioner 100 ensures stability during operation and prevents accidental detachment of the air guide door 130, providing safety and reliability.

[0026] It should be noted that the air conditioner 100 is a wall mounted air conditioner, which is hung on a wall indoors. The air conditioner 100 is used to blow hot or cold air into the room to achieve heating or cooling functions, thereby regulating the indoor temperature to meet user needs.

[0027] The air conditioner 100 includes a panel assembly 110, a base 160, a middle frame 120 and an air guide door 130. The middle frame 120 is connected to the base 160, and the base 160 is used to fix and limit the middle frame 120. The panel assembly 110 is provided with an air outlet 111, and the air outlet 111 is used to blow out the air flow. The air guide door 130 can be rotatably installed in the air outlet 111 to guide the air flow, thereby achieving the function of adjusting the wind direction. The panel assembly 110 is hinged to the base 160 or the middle frame 120. The panel assembly 110 can be rotated and opened relative to the base 160, and synchronously drives the air guide door 130 to move, so that the components inside the panel assembly 110 and the air guide door 130 are exposed, which is convenient for users to maintain and clean the components inside, which is convenient and quick. In this way, the air guide door 130 can be quickly moved out of its place without having to completely remove the air guide door 130, which saves time and effort, facilitates maintenance and cleaning of components inside the air guide door 130, and provides a good user experience.

[0028] In this embodiment, the panel assembly 110 is hingedly connected to the base 160, and the panel assembly 110 can rotate directly relative to the base 160 and simultaneously rotate relative to the middle frame 120 connected to the base 160. However, the present invention is not limited thereto. In other embodiments, the panel assembly 110 can also be hingedly connected to the middle frame 120. In this case, the panel assembly 110 can rotate directly relative to the middle frame 120 and simultaneously rotate relative to the base 160 connected to the middle frame 120.

[0029] Specifically, the panel assembly 110 is provided with a latch 112, and the middle frame 120 is provided with a latch slot 121. The latch 112 engages with the latch slot 121 to secure the relative position of the panel assembly 110 and the base 160 when the panel assembly 110 is in the closed state, preventing the panel assembly 110 and the air guide door 130 from accidentally separating from the base 160, thereby ensuring the stability, safety and reliability of the air conditioner 100 during operation. During maintenance and cleaning of the components inside the panel assembly 110 and the air guide door 130, the entire panel assembly 110 needs to be rotated open relative to the base 160, and the air guide door 130 needs to be moved out of position to facilitate maintenance and cleaning of the components inside the panel assembly 110 and the air guide door 130. During this process, the latch 112 is forced to disengage from the latch slot 121, thereby releasing the latch 112 from the latch slot 121. That is, the latch 112 can disengage from the latch slot 121 when the panel assembly 110 is rotated open relative to the base 160.

[0030] In this embodiment, the hinged position between the panel assembly 110 and the base 160 is located at the upper part of the base 160. The panel assembly 110 can be flipped upward to a preset position relative to the base 160 to synchronously drive the air guide door 130 to move upward, so that the components installed on the base 160 and located on the inner side of the panel assembly 110 and the air guide door 130 are completely exposed, and the panel assembly 110 and the air guide door 130 will not interfere with the user's maintenance and cleaning.

[0036] Specifically, there are multiple reinforcing ribs 1234, which are arranged in parallel and spaced apart and are all connected to the positioning portion 1231. The multiple reinforcing ribs 1234 work together to further improve the connection strength between the positioning portion 1231 and the base 160, prevent the positioning portion 1231 from deformation or breakage, and ensure the clamping effect.

[0037] In this embodiment, there are multiple latches 112 and multiple slots 121. Multiple latches 112 are spaced apart on the panel assembly 110, and multiple slots 121 are spaced apart on the base 160. Each latch 112 engages with a slot 121. The multiple latches 112 and the multiple slots 121 work together to improve the connection strength between the panel assembly 110 and the base 160, prevent the panel assembly 110 and the air guide door 130 from accidentally disengaging, and ensure the stability of the operation of the air conditioner 100. Specifically, the multiple latches 112 are arranged sequentially along the length of the air conditioner 100. The multiple latches 112 can simultaneously and one-to-one disengage from the multiple slots 121 when the panel assembly 110 is rotated and opened relative to the base 160.

[0038] The panel assembly 110 includes a panel 113, a first side panel 114, a second side panel 115, and a bottom panel 116. The panel 113 and the bottom panel 116 are both connected between the first side panel 114 and the second side panel 115. The panel 113, the first side panel 114, the bottom panel 116, and the second side panel 115 are connected end to end and together form the air outlet 111. The air guide door 130 is rotatably mounted within the air outlet 111. The first side panel 114 and the second side panel 115 are disposed on opposite sides of the base 160 and are both rotatably connected to the base 160. The base 160 is disposed between the first side panel 114 and the second side panel 115. That is, the panel assembly 110 is partially covered by the base 160 to facilitate the rotation and opening of the panel assembly 110. The buckle 112 is disposed on the inner side of the panel 113 and close to the air outlet 111 so as to realize the locking function between the buckle 112 and the slot 121 when the panel assembly 110 is rotated and closed.

[0039] In this embodiment, the first side plate 114 is provided with a first rotating shaft (not shown), and the second side plate 115 is provided with a second rotating shaft (not shown).
