[0032] The utility model discloses a first magnetic attraction structure 3 is arranged on the central control screen 1, and the cabinet main body 2 is provided with the second magnetic attraction structure 4 that adapts with the first magnetic attraction structure 3, when needing to install the central control screen 1 to the cabinet main body 2, user only needs to draw close to the second magnetic attraction structure 4 on the cabinet main body 2 with the central control screen 1, owing to the attraction of magnetic force, the first magnetic attraction structure 3 and the second magnetic attraction structure 4 will automatically align and closely adhere to, thereby realize the quick installation of central control screen 1.

[0033] In addition, this design also allows the user to install the central control screen 1 at different positions in the room as needed, so as to be more convenient to operate. For example, the second magnetic attraction structure 4 that adapts with the first magnetic attraction structure 3 is arranged on the wall or cabinet in the living room or bedroom, and the central control screen 1 can be placed in any room through the magnetic attraction of the first magnetic attraction structure 3 and the second magnetic attraction structure 4, and when the indoor temperature needs to be adjusted, the user does not need to walk in front of the cabinet main body 2 to control, thereby providing the user with a more flexible and convenient operation experience.

[0034] Preferably, the central control screen 1 is built-in with a wireless charging receiving module, and the cabinet main body 2 is built-in with a wireless charging transmitting module, when the first magnetic attraction structure 3 and the second magnetic attraction structure 4 are magnetically connected, the wireless charging receiving module can be docked with the wireless charging transmitting module to realize wireless charging of the central control screen 1.

[0035] By building-in the wireless charging receiving module in the central control screen 1 and building-in the wireless charging transmitting module in the cabinet main body 2, when the first magnetic attraction structure 3 and the second magnetic attraction structure 4 are magnetically connected, the spatial distance between the wireless charging receiving module and the wireless charging transmitting module is shortened to a range sufficient for wireless charging. At this time, the wireless charging transmitting module will send electric energy to the wireless charging receiving module, which will convert it into the required electric energy of the central control screen 1 for charging. Due to the stability and accuracy of the magnetic attraction structure, this wireless charging method is not only efficient but also safe. In addition, the user does not need to find a charging line or charging base for the central control screen 1 separately, but only needs to connect it with the cabinet main body 2 to realize charging, which greatly improves the convenience of use.

Exemplarily, the magnetic shielding layer of the utility model is made of high magnetic permeability material (such as ferrite), which can effectively guide the magnetic field lines and thus reduce electromagnetic interference on surrounding electronic devices. By arranging a plurality of magnets or magnetic strips on the magnetic shielding layer, the second magnetic attraction structure 4 can provide more stable and reliable magnetic attraction connection. This helps to ensure the stability of the central control screen 1 during connection and reduces the safety risks caused by shaking or falling off.

[0040] Preferably, the magnetic shielding layer is detachably connected with the cabinet body 2.

[0041] The detachable connection design of the magnetic shielding layer and the cabinet body 2 allows users or maintenance personnel to easily disassemble, clean, inspect or replace the magnetic shielding layer. This helps to prolong the service life of the magnetic shielding layer, maintain its electromagnetic shielding effect, and facilitate the upgrading or technical transformation of the air conditioner indoor unit. In addition, the main function of the magnetic shielding layer is to isolate and weaken the magnetic field interference and protect the electronic components inside the cabinet body 2 from electromagnetic interference. When the magnetic shielding layer is detachably connected with the cabinet body 2, users can flexibly adjust the number and position of the magnetic shielding layer according to the actual electromagnetic environment requirements to optimize electromagnetic compatibility and ensure the stable operation of the air conditioner indoor unit.

[0042] Exemplarily, the detachable connection between the magnetic shielding layer and the cabinet body 2 can be achieved in various ways, such as using screws, buckles, magnetic attraction connection, etc. These connection methods can be selected according to specific application scenarios, installation convenience, maintenance requirements, and other factors. In actual application, the most suitable connection method can also be selected according to the structure of the cabinet body 2 and the size and weight of the magnetic shielding layer. The way of detachable connection between the magnetic shielding layer and the cabinet body 2 is not specifically limited in the present application.
