Figure 3 .

[0044] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, in order to solve the problem that the storage cavity 11 and the cover 2 of the existing indoor unit have low aesthetics when opened, the indoor unit of the present application includes a body 1, a sliding connector 3 and a cover 2, and the body 1 is provided with a storage cavity 11 with a first opening; the sliding connector 3 is movably arranged in the storage cavity 11, and it can move between a first position and a second position; the cover 2 is rotatably connected to the sliding connector 3, and is arranged so that when the sliding connector 3 is in the first position, the cover 2 can rotate around the sliding connector 3 to open or close the first opening, and when the cover 2 is in the open state, it can move between the first position and the second position driven by the sliding connector 3.

[0045] Through the above arrangement, on the one hand, the cover 2 can open or close the storage cavity 11 by rotating around the sliding connection 3; on the other hand, when the cover 2 opens the storage cavity 11, the cover 2 can follow the sliding connection 3 to move between the first position and the second position, thereby storing the cover 2 in the storage cavity 11, avoiding the cover 2 occupying space after opening, and improving the aesthetics of the indoor unit when the cover 2 of the indoor unit storage cavity 11 is opened.

[0046] Further reference below Figures 1 to 9 , a preferred embodiment of the indoor unit of the present application is introduced. Those skilled in the art will understand that the following embodiments are merely intended to illustrate the principles of the present application and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present application. On the premise that the silencer oil separator includes at least a body 1, a cover plate 2, and a sliding connector 3, those skilled in the art may adjust the following configuration to adapt the present application to more specific application scenarios.

[0047] See Figures 1 to 3 The indoor unit includes a body 1, a cover 2 and a sliding connector 3. The body 1 is provided with a storage cavity 11 having a first opening. The width direction of the storage cavity 11 (eg Figure 2 The left and right directions) are two relatively set (such as Figure 2 Two sliding connectors 3 are provided on the inner wall of the left and right sides of the storage cavity 11, and the two sliding connectors 3 are arranged along the height direction of the storage cavity 11 (such as Figure 2 Each sliding connector 3 is movably mounted on the inner wall of the storage cavity 11 and is capable of moving between a first position and a second position. The cover 2 includes a first plate 22 and a second plate 23. The first plate 22 is rotatably connected to the sliding connector 3 on the left side of the storage cavity 11, and the second plate 23 is rotatably connected to the sliding connector 3 on the right side of the storage cavity 11.

[0048] Specifically, continue to refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , take the first plate 22 on the left side of the storage cavity 11 as an example for description, when the sliding connection member 3 is in the first position (such as Figure 2 The first plate 22 is able to rotate around the sliding connector 3 to switch the first plate 22 between an open state and a closed state, thereby opening or closing the left side of the first opening. When the first plate 22 is in the closed state, the left side of the first opening is covered by the first plate 22; when the first plate 22 is in the open state, the left side of the first opening is exposed; and at this time, the sliding connector 3 can be moved along the side wall of the storage cavity 11 between the first position and the second position (such as Figure 2 The first plate 22 is moved between two positions (a position away from the first opening side) and at the same time drives the first plate 22 to move with it, so as to store the first plate 22 into the storage cavity 11 to prevent the first plate 22 from occupying space when it is opened.

[0049] Furthermore, the above description also applies to the second plate 23 on the right side of the storage cavity 11. In addition, when the first plate 22 and the second plate 23 are both in the open state, the storage cavity 11 can be opened; when the first plate 22 and the second plate 23 are both in the closed state, the storage cavity 11 can be closed.

[0050] Alternatively, in an alternative embodiment, the cover 2 may also include only one plate body, which can completely open or close the first opening. Specifically, a sliding connector 3 is provided on an inner wall of the storage cavity 11, and the plate body is rotatably connected to the sliding connector 3. When the sliding connector 3 is in the first position, the plate body can rotate around the sliding connector 3 to open or close, thereby opening or closing the storage cavity 11. When the plate body is in a closed state, the first opening is covered by the plate body, and the storage cavity 11 is also in a closed state; when the plate body is in an open state, the storage cavity 11 is also in an open state; and at this time, the sliding connector 3 can move along the side wall of the storage cavity 11 between the first position and the second position, while driving the plate body to follow its movement, so as to store the plate body in the storage cavity 11.

[0051] Although, Figure 2 The figure shows that two sliding connectors 3 are provided on two opposing inner walls of the storage cavity 11, spaced apart along the height direction of the storage cavity 11. However, this is merely exemplary and not restrictive. Those skilled in the art can flexibly adjust the number of sliding connectors 3 according to actual conditions. For example, three, four, or other numbers of sliding connectors 3 may be provided on two opposing inner walls of the storage cavity 11, and the plurality of sliding connectors 3 may be spaced apart along the height direction of the storage cavity 11.

[0052] It should be noted that the distance between the first position and the second position (ie Figure 2 The distance between the first position and the second position in the front-to-back direction of the storage cavity 11) is greater than or equal to the length of the first plate 22 and the second plate 23 (ie Figure 2The dimensions of the first plate 22 and the second plate 23 in the front-to-back direction, and the heights of the first plate 22 and the second plate 23 (i.e. Figure 2 The dimensions of the first plate 22 and the second plate 23 in the vertical direction are equal to the height of the storage cavity 11 (i.e. Figure 2 The size of the storage cavity 11 in the up and down direction) enables the first plate 22 and the second plate 23 to be completely hidden in the storage cavity 11 when in the open state, thereby improving the aesthetics of the indoor unit when the cover 2 is opened.

[0053] In addition, in an alternative embodiment, when the cover 2 includes only one plate body, the distance between the first position and the second position is greater than or equal to the length of the plate body, and the height of the plate body is equal to the height of the storage cavity 11, so that the plate body can be completely hidden in the storage cavity 11, thereby improving the aesthetics of the indoor unit when the plate body is opened.

[0054] See Figure 3 、 Figures 7 to 9 A baffle 6 is provided in the storage cavity 11, with a gap between the baffle 6 and the inner wall of the storage cavity 11, thereby forming an accommodating cavity 61. The accommodating cavity 61 has a second opening communicating therewith, and the second opening and the first opening of the storage cavity 11 are located on the same side of the body 1. The provision of the baffle 6 enables the sliding connector 3 to be located in the accommodating cavity 61. When the sliding connector 3 drives the cover plate 2 to move between the first position and the second position, the cover plate 2 can enter and exit the accommodating cavity 61 through the second opening, thereby pushing the cover plate 2 into the accommodating cavity 61, thereby achieving the effect of hiding the cover plate 2 and further improving the aesthetics of the indoor unit when the cover plate 2 is open.

[0055] Of course, the position of the sliding connector 3 is not fixed in this application, and those skilled in the art can flexibly adjust it according to actual circumstances. For example, when the baffle 6 is not provided, the sliding connector 3 can be provided on the inner wall of the storage cavity 11; for another example, when the baffle 6 is provided, the sliding connector 3 can be provided not only on the inner wall of the storage cavity 11, but also on the baffle 6 within the accommodating cavity 61.

[0056] See Figures 1 to 3 , two baffles 6 are provided in the storage cavity 11, and the two baffles 6 are arranged along the width direction (such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 The storage chamber 11 is divided into a first accommodating chamber, a storage space, and a second accommodating chamber (in the left and right directions). The first accommodating chamber corresponds to the first plate 22, and the second accommodating chamber corresponds to the second plate 23. A partition 4 is provided in the storage space, which is arranged in the horizontal direction to divide the storage space into two sub-chambers. A light strip 5 is provided on the inner wall of the storage space for lighting. It also enhances the aesthetics of the indoor unit when the cover 2 is open, creating a more comfortable indoor atmosphere and improving the user experience.

[0057] In an alternative embodiment, when the cover plate 2 includes only one plate body, only one baffle plate 6 may be provided in the storage cavity 11. The baffle plate 6 divides the storage cavity 11 into a receiving cavity 61 and a storage space. The receiving cavity 61 is used to push the plate body in. At least one partition plate 4 is provided in the storage space to divide the storage space into multiple sub-chambers for storing items.

[0058] Although, Figure 1 The figure shows that one partition 4 is provided horizontally within the storage space. However, this is merely exemplary and not restrictive. Those skilled in the art can flexibly adjust the orientation and number of partitions 4 based on actual product requirements. For example, two, three, or any other number of partitions 4 can be provided horizontally within the storage space; another example, two, three, or any other number of partitions 4 can be provided vertically within the storage space; another example, partitions 4 can be provided both horizontally and vertically within the storage space, wherein the number of partitions 4 can be two, three, or any other number.

[0059] like Figures 2 to 6 As shown, a guide groove 12 is provided on the inner wall of the storage cavity 11. The guide groove 12 extends along the thickness direction of the storage cavity 11 (eg Figure 2 The sliding connector 3 is provided with a guide protrusion 31, which is respectively arranged on two opposite side walls of the sliding connector 3 (such as Figure 6 The guide protrusion 31 is disposed in the guide groove 12 and is movable along the length direction of the guide groove 12, so that the sliding connector 3 can move between the first position and the second position.

[0060] Of course, the present application does not have a fixed position for the guide protrusion 31, and those skilled in the art can flexibly adjust it according to the actual product situation. For example, it is possible to only position the guide protrusion 31 on the right side wall of the sliding connector 3 (such as Figure 6 A guide protrusion 31 is provided on the right side wall of the sliding connection member 3; a guide protrusion 31 can also be provided on both the upper side wall or the lower side wall of the sliding connection member 3.

[0061] It should be noted that the present application does not have a fixed form of sliding connection between the sliding connector 3 and the storage cavity 11, and those skilled in the art can flexibly adjust it according to the actual product situation. For example, the sliding connector 3 is provided with a guide groove 12, and the inner wall of the storage cavity 11 is provided with a guide protrusion 31, which is provided along the thickness direction of the storage cavity 11 (such as Figure 2 The guide protrusion 31 is arranged in the guide groove 12, and the guide groove 12 can move along the length direction of the guide rib, so that the sliding connection member 3 can move between the first position and the second position.

[0062] See Figure 4The indoor unit further includes a stopper 7, which is arranged on both sides of the guide groove 12 in the length direction to prevent the sliding connector 3 from falling out during the movement.

[0063] See Figures 4 to 6 The sliding connector 3 is provided with a mounting hole 32, and the cover 2 is provided with a mounting shaft 21. The mounting shaft 21 is rotatably inserted into the mounting hole 32, so that the cover 2 can rotate around the sliding connector 3, thereby switching the cover 2 between the open state and the closed state.

[0064] Of course, the specific form of the rotational connection between the sliding connector 3 and the cover plate 2 is not fixed in this application, and those skilled in the art may flexibly adjust it according to actual product conditions. For example, the second end of the sliding connector 3 may be provided with a mounting shaft 21, and the cover plate 2 may be provided with a mounting hole 32. The mounting shaft 21 may be rotatably inserted into the mounting hole 32. In this case, the cover plate 2 can also be rotationally connected to the sliding connector 3. In another example, the sliding connector 3 may be provided with a first hinge plate, and the cover plate 2 may be provided with a second hinge plate. The first hinge plate and the second hinge plate are connected via a hinge shaft, so that the sliding connector 3 and the cover plate 2 are hinged. In this case, the cover plate 2 can also be rotationally connected to the sliding connector 3.

[0065] In addition, the present application also discloses an air conditioner, which includes the indoor unit described in any of the aforementioned solutions and has all the above technical effects, which will not be repeated here.

[0066] Thus far, the technical solutions of the present invention have been described in conjunction with the preferred embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings. However, it is readily understood by those skilled in the art that the scope of protection of the present invention is obviously not limited to these specific embodiments. Without departing from the principles of the present invention, those skilled in the art may make equivalent changes or substitutions to the relevant technical features, and the technical solutions after such changes or substitutions will fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
