[0065] Optionally, in the front-to-back direction, the length of the second connecting rib 92 is greater than the length of the first connecting rib 91 .

[0066] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the second buckle 921 of the second connecting rib 92 extends in the vertical direction and is used to limit the vertical movement of the air outlet panel 11 and the rear shell, and bears a larger force. Therefore, the length of the second connecting rib 92 in the front-to-back direction is greater than the length of the first connecting rib 91. This can further improve the stability of the second connecting rib 92, and can also increase the contact area between the second connecting rib 92 and the air outlet panel 11, thereby improving the strength of the air outlet panel 11.

[0067] Optionally, in the vertical direction, the height of the second connecting rib 92 is greater than the height of the first connecting rib 91 .

[0068] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the second buckle 921 of the second connecting rib 92 extends in the vertical direction and is used to limit the vertical movement of the air outlet panel 11 and the rear shell, and bears a larger force. Therefore, the height of the second connecting rib 92 in the vertical direction is greater than the height of the first connecting rib 91. This can further improve the stability of the second connecting rib 92, and can also increase the contact area between the second connecting rib 92 and the air outlet panel 11, thereby improving the strength of the air outlet panel 11.

[0069] Optionally, the plurality of first connecting ribs 91 and the plurality of second connecting ribs 92 are sequentially spaced apart along the height direction of the side plate 95 .

[0070] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, there are multiple first connecting ribs 91 and multiple second connecting ribs 92, and the multiple first connecting ribs 91 and the multiple second connecting ribs 92 are arranged in sequence along the height direction of the side panel 95. This not only improves the connection stability between the air outlet panel 11 and the rear shell, but also improves the overall strength of the air outlet panel 11 in the height direction to avoid deformation.

[0071] Optionally, the lowermost connecting rib 90 is located at the lower part of the air outlet panel, and the uppermost connecting rib 90 is located at the upper part of the air outlet panel.

[0072] Optionally, a first connecting rib 91 and a second connecting rib 92 form a connecting rib group, and the connecting rib group and the reinforcing rib 93 are arranged in sequence and spaced apart along the vertical direction.

[0073] In the disclosed embodiment, the reinforcing ribs 93 and the connecting rib group are arranged at intervals, so that the reinforcing ribs 93 and the connecting ribs 90 can be evenly arranged, uniformly improving the strength of the air outlet panel 11 in the height direction, and avoiding uneven strength of the air outlet panel 11 and deformation.

[0074] Alternatively, as Figure 13 As shown, the reinforcing rib 93 includes a first reinforcing portion 931 and a second reinforcing portion 932. The first reinforcing portion 931 is provided on the front panel 94 and extends in the left-right direction; the second reinforcing portion 932 is provided on the side panel 95 and extends in the front-back direction; wherein, the connection between the first reinforcing portion 931 and the second reinforcing portion 932 matches the connection between the front panel 94 and the side panel 95.

[0075] In the disclosed embodiment, the reinforcing ribs 93 are connected between the front panel 94 and the side panels 95, thereby increasing the strength of both the front panel 94 and the side panels 95. Furthermore, the connection between the first reinforcing portion 931 and the second reinforcing portion 932 matches the connection between the front panel 94 and the side panels 95, thereby increasing the strength of the corners where the front panel 94 and the side panels 95 are connected.

[0076] Optionally, the rear end portion of the reinforcing rib 93 corresponds to the connecting rib 90 , so that the connecting rib 90 and the reinforcing rib 93 cover the air outlet panel 11 in the front-to-back direction.

[0077] In the disclosed embodiment, the reinforcing ribs 93 can extend to the connecting ribs 90, so that the connecting ribs 90 and the reinforcing ribs 93 can cover the entire air outlet panel 11 in the front-to-back direction, thereby improving the strength of the air outlet panel 11 in the front-to-back direction and avoiding deformation of the air outlet panel 11 due to uneven strength.

[0078] Optionally, the air outlet panel assembly also includes an air outlet frame 50 and a guide member 60, and the air outlet panel 11 is constructed with a first air outlet 111 and a second air outlet 112; the air outlet frame 50 defines an air outlet duct 51, and the outlet of the air outlet duct 51 is connected to the first air outlet 111 and the second air outlet 112; the guide member 60 is arranged in the air outlet duct 51, and the guide member 60 is used to guide the airflow in the air outlet duct 51 to the first air outlet 111 and the second air outlet 112 respectively, and the air outlet includes the first air outlet 111 and the second air outlet 112.

[0079] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the air outlet panel 11 is constructed with two air outlets, so that the air conditioner can use two air outlets to discharge air, thereby improving the diversity of air outlets and further improving the user experience. The air outlet frame 50 defines an air outlet duct 51, which connects the accommodating cavity with the first air outlet 111 and the second air outlet 112, and the guide member 60 is located in the air outlet duct 51. In this way, the air flow after heat exchange driven by the fan flows into the air outlet duct 51, and then the air flow of the air outlet duct 51 flows to the first air outlet 111 and the second air outlet 112 respectively under the division of the guide member 60. In this way, the air outlet of multiple air outlets is achieved through one air duct, which reduces costs and reduces the complexity of the air duct structure.

[0080] Optionally, the first air outlet 111 and the second air outlet 112 are both in a strip shape, and the first air outlet 111 and the second air outlet 112 are arranged side by side and spaced apart on the air outlet panel 11 .

[0081] Optionally, the first air outlet 111 and the second air outlet 112 are elongated in the height direction to increase the air outlet area.

[0082] Optionally, the air outlet panel assembly further includes an air outlet blade 70 , which is disposed in the air outlet duct 51 . The air outlet blade 70 and the guide member 60 are sequentially disposed along the direction of air flow in the air outlet duct 51 .

[0083] In the disclosed embodiment, the air outlet blade 70 is arranged in the air outlet duct 51 and is located upstream of the guide member 60, so that the air outlet blade 70 can adjust the air outlet direction in the air outlet duct 51, and then adjust the air outlet direction of the first air outlet 111 and the second air outlet 112, further improving the user experience.

[0084] Optionally, the guide member 60 is arranged at the outlet of the air outlet duct 51, and divides the outlet of the air outlet duct 51 into a first outlet 52 and a second outlet 53, the first outlet 52 is connected to the first air outlet 111, and the second outlet 53 is connected to the second air outlet 112; wherein, the guide member 60 is abutted against the air outlet panel 11, and / or the guide member 60 is detachably connected to the air outlet panel 11.

[0085] In the disclosed embodiment, the flow guide 60 is located at the outlet of the air outlet duct 51, so that the airflow divided by the flow guide 60 can flow more smoothly to the first air outlet 111 and the second air outlet 112 respectively, avoiding cross-flow between the two air outlets. The flow guide 60 is in contact with the air outlet panel 11, which can further improve the efficiency of the airflow from the air outlet duct 51 to the two air outlets, avoiding cross-flow and air leakage. The flow guide 60 and the air outlet panel 11 can also be detachably connected, which not only improves the connection stability of the flow guide 60 and the air outlet panel 11, but also facilitates the disassembly, maintenance and replacement of the flow guide 60.

[0086] Optionally, the guide member 60 includes a guide member body 61 and a connecting plate 62.
