[0130] With the pursuit of indoor temperature, air conditioning has become the choice to meet people's demand for indoor temperature. Air conditioning, also known as air conditioner, refers to the device that artificially adjusts and controls the parameters such as temperature, humidity and flow rate of the air in the environment of a building or structure. It can effectively adjust the indoor air temperature, humidity, flow rate and other parameters, bringing great convenience to people's life.

[0131] With the improvement of living quality and the change of aesthetic concept, people no longer just satisfy with the basic performance of air conditioner, but pay more attention to the coordination and unity of its appearance and indoor decoration style. In modern buildings, the installation of air conditioner is usually matched with the overall indoor decoration, especially in the case of emphasizing aesthetics, the air conditioner will be hidden in the ceiling to realize the combination of overall aesthetics and function. The indoor unit of air conditioner is ingeniously integrated into the ceiling design at the initial stage of house decoration, realizing "invisible installation", which not only saves space, but also improves the aesthetics of overall decoration.

[0132] At present, the installation of air conditioner indoor unit is carried out at the initial stage of decoration or before decoration. After the casing of air conditioner indoor unit is hoisted at the top of indoor, the flange is connected with the ceiling support, and then the panel is fixed on the flange. This installation method is limited to the installation environment before decoration. After the installation of air conditioner indoor unit is completed, the decoration construction can be carried out. It cannot be compatible with the installation environment after decoration. If it is installed after the completion of decoration, the indoor top needs to be constructed, and the installation process is relatively complex.

[0133] Based on this, the application discloses an air conditioner which can be compatible with the installation environment before decoration and the installation environment after decoration, and has high universality.

[0134] The technical scheme will be further described below in combination with embodiments and drawings.

[0135] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 In an embodiment of the application, the indoor unit 100 includes a casing 1. The casing 1 is used to fix the indoor unit 100 at the top of indoor. The casing 1 includes a casing front plate 11, which is arranged at the front side of the casing 1. The casing front plate 11 is provided with a casing air outlet 1a, and the gas of the indoor unit 100 is blown out from the casing air outlet 1a.

[0136] Please refer to Figures 4 to 6The indoor unit 100 further comprises a panel 2, which is located outside the casing 1 and is arranged opposite to the front plate 11 of the casing 1. The panel 2 is used to integrate display module, language module and other functional modules, and at the same time, plays a part of the role of decoration. The panel 2 is provided with a panel air outlet 2a, which is used to guide the air of the indoor unit 100 to blow into the room from the panel air outlet 2a.

[0137] Referring to Figures 8 to 10 The indoor unit 100 further comprises a connecting flange 3, which comprises a flange body 31.

The flange body 31 can be connected to the ceiling support 10 through the second mounting structure 33 of the connecting flange 3.

[0139] Since the ceiling support is usually constructed on the top of the room at the beginning of decoration, and then the indoor unit is installed in the ceiling support, the body of the indoor unit is hung on the top of the room. After that, the flange is connected to the ceiling support, and then the panel is installed on the ceiling support. After the indoor unit is completely installed, other construction in the room is carried out. This installation method cannot install the indoor unit after the decoration of the room is completed.

[0140] Therefore, the indoor unit 100 of the embodiment of the present application, when installed before decoration, the shell 1 of the indoor unit 100 is fixed on the top of the indoor, when the panel 2 of the indoor unit 100 needs to be installed, the flange body 31 of the connecting flange 3 is connected with the ceiling support 10 through the second installation structure 33, and then the panel 2 is installed on the flange body 31; when installed after decoration, the shell 1 of the indoor unit 100 is fixed on the top of the indoor, the flange body 31 is directly connected with the shell front plate 11 through the first installation structure 32, and then the panel 2 is installed on the flange body 31 to complete the installation. Therefore, the indoor unit of the air conditioner can be conveniently installed before or after decoration, without the need for complex construction on the top of the indoor, simplifying the installation process and improving the flexibility and convenience of installation. Meanwhile, when the indoor unit 100 is installed after decoration, the direct connection of the flange body 31 and the shell front plate 11 can reduce the depth of the indoor unit 100 in the width direction, so that the space occupied by the indoor unit 100 during installation is reduced, and the appearance of the top of the indoor is more beautiful.

[0141] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 10 and Figure 11 , the flange body 31 includes opposite first and second sides, and the second installation structure 33 includes a first connecting piece 331, which is arranged on the first side of the flange body 31 and is adjustably connected with the flange body 31 in the vertical direction and fixedly connected with the ceiling support 10. Therefore, the flange body 31 is fixedly connected with the ceiling support 10 through the first connecting piece 331, and the distance between the flange body 31 and the ceiling support 10 can be adjusted in the vertical direction.

[0142] The second installation structure 33 further includes a second connecting piece 332, which is arranged on the second side of the flange body 31 and is adjustably connected with the flange body 31 in the width direction of the shell 1 and fixedly connected with the ceiling support 10. Therefore, the flange body 31 is further connected with the ceiling support 10 through the second connecting piece 332, and the relative distance between the flange body 31 and the ceiling support 10 can be adjusted in the width direction of the shell 1.

[0143] The width direction of the shell 1 is the front-rear direction, i.e. Figure 7 from left to right and from right to left.

[0144] In this way, when the flange body 31 is connected with the ceiling support 10 through the first connecting piece 331 and the second connecting piece 332, the flange body 31 can be adjusted in the vertical direction with the ceiling support 10 in the installation process by the first connecting piece 331, and then adjusted in the width direction of the casing 1 with the ceiling support 10 by the second connecting piece 332. The installation position of the flange body 31 is determined through the first connecting piece 331 and the second connecting piece 332, so that the installation of the flange body 31 is more convenient.

[0145] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 11 The first connecting piece 331 includes a first mounting hole 331a, and the first connecting piece 331 is connected with the ceiling support 10 through the first mounting hole 331a. When the first connecting piece 331 is connected with the ceiling support 10, the first connecting piece 331 is fixed on the ceiling support 10 by using a fastener, the fastener is fixed on the ceiling support 10 through the first mounting hole 331a, and the fastener can be, for example, a bolt, a screw, or a pin.

[0146] The first connecting piece 331 further includes a first adjusting hole 331b, the first adjusting hole 331b has a preset length in the vertical direction, and the first connecting piece 331 is connected with the flange body 31 through the first adjusting hole 331b to adjust the installation position of the flange body 31 in the vertical direction. Through the first adjusting hole 331b, when the first connecting piece 331 is connected with the flange body 31, the installation position of the flange body 31 in the vertical direction can be adjusted.

[0147] In this way, the first connecting piece 331 is connected with the ceiling support 10 through the first mounting hole 331a and connected with the flange body 31 through the first adjusting hole 331b, realizing the connection of the flange body 31 and the ceiling support 10, and at the same time, the installation position of the flange body 31 in the vertical direction can be adjusted through the first adjusting hole 331b, so that the flange body 31 can meet the installation requirements.

[0148] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 11 The first connecting piece 331 further includes a first vertical connecting plate 3311, and the first adjusting hole 331b is arranged on the first vertical connecting plate 3311. Arranging the first adjusting hole 331b on the first vertical connecting plate 3311 can ensure that the first adjusting hole 331b has sufficient support basis, and at the same time, the first connecting piece 331 has sufficient connection strength when connected with the flange body 31 through the first adjusting hole 331b.

[0149] The first connecting piece 331 further comprises a first horizontal connecting plate 3312 connected with the first vertical connecting plate 3311, and the first mounting hole 331a is arranged on the first horizontal connecting plate 3312. Arranging the first mounting hole 331a on the first horizontal connecting plate 3312 ensures that the first mounting hole 331a has sufficient support basis, and at the same time, ensures the connection strength when the first mounting hole 331a is connected with the ceiling support 10.

[0150] In this way, through the first vertical connecting plate 3311 and the first horizontal connecting plate 3312, on the one hand, the first mounting hole 331a and the first adjusting hole 331b are provided with a firm support basis, ensuring that the first mounting hole 331a and the first adjusting hole 331b have sufficient support area and strength; on the other hand, the first vertical connecting plate 3311 and the first horizontal connecting plate 3312 can uniformly transmit the stress during installation to the ceiling support 10 and the flange body 31, avoiding excessive stress concentration around the first mounting hole 331a and the first adjusting hole 331b, which helps to prolong the service life of the first connecting piece 331 and reduce the risk of damage caused by uneven stress. In addition, the contact surface of the first vertical connecting plate 3311 and the first horizontal connecting plate 3312 with the ceiling support 10 and the flange body 31 is more flat and regular, which helps to achieve better visual alignment and appearance consistency, and can improve the beauty of the overall installation, making it more in line with the aesthetic requirements of modern homes.

[0151] It should be noted that the first mounting hole 331a is a plurality of first mounting holes 331a arranged along the length direction of the cabinet 1. The plurality of first mounting holes 331a means that there are multiple connection points when the first connecting piece 331 is connected with the ceiling support 10, which enhances the strength and stability of the connection, making the entire structure more firm and reliable, and can withstand greater load and vibration. At the same time, the plurality of first mounting holes 331a can more effectively disperse stress and avoid damage caused by excessive stress on a single point.

[0152] Among them, the length direction of the cabinet 1 is the horizontal direction, that is Figure 10 from left to right or from right to left.

[0153] In some embodiments, the first adjusting hole 331b is a plurality of first adjusting holes 331b arranged along the length direction of the cabinet, and the centers of adjacent two first adjusting holes 331b are staggered in the vertical direction. Avoiding concentrated punching on the first vertical connecting plate 3311 to reduce the structural strength of the first vertical connecting plate 3311 itself, ensuring the stable connection of the first vertical connecting plate 3311 and the flange body 31.

[0154] It should be noted that the first adjusting hole 331b is multiple, that is, the first adjusting hole 331b is at least two, that is, the first adjusting hole 331b can be two, three, four or more.

[0155] Exemplarily, as shown in the figure, Figure 11 the first adjusting hole 331b is three, so that the first adjusting hole 331b staggered in the vertical direction helps to optimize the stress distribution, and the center of the two adjacent first adjusting holes 331b is staggered, which can more effectively disperse the stress of the first connecting piece 331 when stressed, reduce the stress concentration phenomenon, thereby enhancing the strength and stability of the connection. At the same time, when installing the position of the fine-tuning flange body 31, the three first adjusting holes 331b have smaller adjustment steps and smoother transitions, thereby meeting more precise installation requirements.

[0156] In some embodiments, as shown in the figure, Figure 11 the first connecting piece 331 further comprises a first limiting portion 3313, and the first limiting portion 3313 is arranged on the first horizontal connecting plate 3312. The first limiting portion 3313 abuts with the ceiling support 10 along the width direction of the cabinet 1.

[0157] In this way, on the one hand, through the first limiting portion 3313, when connecting the flange body 31 with the ceiling support 10, the first limiting portion 3313 abuts with the ceiling support 10 along the width direction of the cabinet 1, forming a stable support point, effectively limiting the position of the flange body 31 in the width direction of the cabinet 1; on the other hand, the first limiting portion 3313 abuts with the ceiling support 10, so that the installer can confirm that the first connecting piece 331 has been installed in place, without the need for excessive adjustment, thereby improving the installation efficiency, and at the same time, helping the installer to quickly and accurately position the relative position of the first connecting piece 331 and the ceiling support 10, thereby simplifying the installation process.

[0158] In some embodiments, as shown in the figure, Figure 12 the second connecting piece 332 comprises a second mounting hole 332a, and the second connecting piece 332 is connected with the ceiling support 10 through the second mounting hole 332a. When connecting the second connecting piece 332 with the ceiling support 10, a fastener is used to fix the second connecting piece 332 on the ceiling support 10, and the fastener passes through the second mounting hole 332a and is fixed on the ceiling support 10.

[0159] The second connector 332 also includes a second adjusting hole 332b, which has a preset length along the width direction of the housing 1. The second connector 332 is connected to the flange body 31 through the second adjusting hole 332b to adjust the position of the flange body 31 in the width direction of the housing 1. That is, when the second connector 332 is connected to the flange body 31, the flange body 31 can be adjusted in the width direction of the housing 1 through the second adjusting hole 332b so that the relative position of the flange body 31 and the ceiling bracket 10 in the width direction of the housing 1 meets the installation requirements.

[0160] In this way, the second connector 332 is securely connected to the ceiling bracket 10 through the second mounting hole 332a, and the second connector 332 is securely connected to the flange body 31 through the second adjustment hole 332b. The preset length of the second adjustment hole 332b along the width direction of the housing 1 allows for convenient adjustment of the installation position of the flange body 31 in the width direction of the housing 1, thereby increasing the flexibility and adaptability of installation and effectively solving the problem of inconvenient position adjustment during installation.

[0161] In some embodiments, such as Figure 12 As shown, the second connector 332 also includes a second vertical connecting plate 3321, and a second mounting hole 332a is provided on the second vertical connecting plate 3321. Providing the second mounting hole 332a on the second vertical connecting plate 3321 ensures that the second mounting hole 332a has sufficient supporting foundation, and that the second connector 332 has sufficient connection strength when connected to the ceiling bracket 10 through the second mounting hole 332a.

[0162] The second connecting member 332 also includes a second horizontal connecting plate 3322, which is connected to the second vertical connecting plate 3321. A second adjusting hole 332b is provided on the second horizontal connecting plate 3322. Providing the second adjusting hole 332b on the second horizontal connecting plate 3322 ensures that the second adjusting hole 332b has sufficient supporting foundation, and also ensures the connection strength when connected to the flange body 31 through the second adjusting hole 332b.

[0163] In this way, on the one hand, the second vertical connecting plate 3321 and the second horizontal connecting plate 3322 provide a solid support structure and a stable setting foundation for the second mounting hole 332a and the second adjusting hole 332b, ensuring that the second mounting hole 332a and the second adjusting hole 332b have sufficient support area and strength; on the other hand, the combined use of the second vertical connecting plate 3321 and the second horizontal connecting plate 3322 increases the contact area and friction between the second connector 332 and the ceiling bracket 10 and the flange body 31, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the connection. The second vertical connecting plate 3321 and the second horizontal connecting plate 3322 can evenly transfer the force during installation to the ceiling bracket 10 and the flange body 31, avoiding excessive stress concentration around the second mounting hole 332a and the second adjusting hole 332b, which helps to extend the service life of the second connector 332. Furthermore, similar to the first vertical connecting plate 3311 and the first horizontal connecting plate 3312 described in the above embodiments, the contact surfaces of the second vertical connecting plate 3321 and the second horizontal connecting plate 3322 with the ceiling bracket 10 and the flange body 31 are flatter and more regular, which helps to achieve better visual alignment and appearance consistency, and can improve the overall aesthetics of the installation, making it more in line with the aesthetic requirements of modern homes.

[0164] It should be noted that, similar to the first mounting hole 331a in the above embodiment, there are also multiple second mounting holes 332a. The second mounting holes 332a have the same function as the first mounting holes 331a, and will not be described again in this embodiment.

[0165] In some embodiments, such as Figure 12 As shown, there are multiple second adjustment holes 332b, which are arranged along the width direction of the housing 1, and the centers of two adjacent second adjustment holes 332b are offset in the width direction of the housing 1.

[0166] In this way, on the one hand, multiple second adjustment holes 332b can more effectively disperse the stress of the connector under force, reduce stress concentration, and thus enhance the strength and stability of the connection; on the other hand, the centers of adjacent second adjustment holes 332b are offset in the width direction of the housing 1, which further increases the flexibility of adjustment. This allows for smaller adjustment steps and smoother transitions when fine-tuning the position of the flange body 31, thereby meeting more precise installation requirements and enabling the flange body 31 to adapt to a wider range of installation scenarios and needs, improving versatility and adaptability.

[0167] In some embodiments, such as Figure 12 As shown, the second connector 332 also includes a second limiting part 3323, which is disposed on the second vertical connecting plate 3321 and abuts against the ceiling bracket 10 in the vertical direction.

[0168] In this way, by the second limiting portion 3323, the movement of the flange body 31 in the vertical direction can be effectively limited, in combination with the first connecting piece 331, the installation position of the flange body 31 in the vertical direction can be accurately fixed, the connection stability between the ceiling support 10 and the flange body 31 is enhanced, and it is ensured that the flange body 31 can maintain a stable position after installation. The same as the first limiting portion 3313, the second limiting portion 3323 abuts against the ceiling support 10, so that the installer can confirm that the second connecting piece 332 has been installed in place, without the need for excessive adjustment, simplifying the installation process and improving the installation efficiency.

[0169] In some embodiments, in combination Figure 9 and Figure 13 , the ceiling support 10 comprises a mounting port 10a for accommodating the flange body 31. The mounting port 10a comprises oppositely arranged upper and lower side walls, the flange body 31 is arranged between the upper and lower side walls, the first connecting piece 331 is connected with the upper side wall, and the second connecting piece 332 is connected with the lower side wall.

[0170] In this way, through the cooperation of the upper and lower side walls and the first and second connecting pieces 331 and 332, multi-point fixing of the flange body 31 on the ceiling support 10 is achieved, and the stability of the connection between the flange body 31 and the ceiling support 10 is improved. The mounting port 10a allows the flange body 31 to evenly distribute forces to the upper and lower side walls when subjected to external forces, avoiding damage caused by excessive stress on a single point.

[0171] Furthermore, the mounting port 10a makes the installation of the flange body 31 simple and fast. The operator only needs to put the flange body 31 into the mounting port and fix it through the first and second connecting pieces 331 and 332, without the need for complex adjustment and calibration, and at the same time, avoids the problem of affecting the overall aesthetic appearance due to the exposure or irregular installation of the first and second connecting pieces 331 and 332.

[0172] In some embodiments, in combination Figure 1 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 , the flange body 31 is provided with a flange air outlet 31a corresponding to the cabinet air outlet 1a, and the flange air outlet 31a is used to guide the cold or hot air flowing out of the cabinet air outlet 1a.

[0173] Since there is a certain gap between the flange body 31 and the front plate 11 of the machine shell after the flange body 31 is connected with the ceiling support during the installation of the indoor unit 100 before decoration, the indoor unit 100 further comprises a flexible air guide pipe, which is arranged between the flange body 31 and the front plate 11 of the machine shell. The flexible air guide pipe comprises an air inlet end and an air outlet end. The air inlet end is sealingly connected with the air outlet of the machine shell, and the air outlet end is sealingly connected with the flange air outlet.

[0174] In this way, by arranging the flange air outlet 31a corresponding to the air outlet 1a of the machine shell on the flange body 31 and providing the flexible air guide pipe, the smooth guidance of cold air or hot air is realized, which helps to reduce the resistance and turbulence of the airflow, so that the air flowing out of the air outlet 1a of the machine shell can more directly and efficiently reach the flange air outlet 31a, thereby improving the air outlet efficiency of the entire indoor unit 100.

[0175] Moreover, the air inlet end of the flexible air guide pipe is sealingly connected with the air outlet 1a of the machine shell, and the air outlet end is sealingly connected with the flange air outlet 31a. This design ensures the sealing of the airflow during transmission, avoids energy loss and indoor temperature fluctuations caused by air leakage, and also reduces the entry of dust, debris and the like, thereby improving the cleanliness of indoor air.

[0176] It should be noted that the flexible air guide pipe can be a tubular structure made of canvas, polyester fiber cloth, glass fiber yarn or other flexible materials, and the present embodiment does not make specific limitations thereto. Exemplarily, the flexible air guide pipe is made of canvas, which is soft and has strong plasticity, so that the flexible air guide pipe can easily adapt to various complex installation environments and space limitations during installation. Whether it is a straight line or a curved layout, the canvas can be flexibly adapted. In addition, the canvas can be cut into different lengths and shapes according to actual needs to meet the needs of different models and installation positions.

[0177] In some embodiments, in combination with Figure 14 and Figure 15 the flange body 31 is provided with a plurality of first clamping portions 311, and the plurality of first clamping portions 311 are spaced apart along the circumference of the flange body 31. The first clamping portion 311 is used for the connection of the flange body 31.

[0178] The panel 2 is provided with a plurality of second clamping portions 21, and the plurality of second clamping portions 21 are located on the side of the panel 2 close to the flange body 31 and are spaced apart along the circumference of the panel 2. The plurality of second clamping portions 21 correspondingly clamp the first clamping portions 311. The second clamping portion 21 is used for mounting the panel 2 and the flange body 31 together.

[0179] In this way, the corresponding clamping design of the first clamping part 311 and the second clamping part 21 makes the installation process of the panel 2 and the flange body 31 simple and fast. Without complex fixing steps such as screwing or welding, etc., the two can be aligned and pressed lightly to achieve a firm connection. When maintenance or replacement of the panel 2 or the flange body 31 is required, the clamping design also makes the disassembly process simple and convenient, reducing the complexity and cost of maintenance.

[0180] And because of the clamping design, the tools required during installation are greatly reduced. This not only reduces installation costs, but also improves installation efficiency. In addition, the plurality of first clamping parts 311 and second clamping parts 21 are distributed along the circumference, making the stress at the connection more uniform, improving the overall strength and stability of the connection between the flange body 31 and the panel 2.

[0181] Alternatively, the first clamping part 311 on the flange body 31 can be a clamping slot, and the second clamping part 21 on the panel 2 can be a clamping hook, a clamping jaw, etc., or the first clamping part 311 on the flange body 31 can be a clamping hook, a clamping jaw, etc., and the second clamping part 21 on the panel 2 is a clamping slot. The present embodiment does not make specific limitations thereto. Exemplarily, as shown in Figure 15 the first clamping part 311 is a clamping slot, and the second clamping part 21 is a clamping hook. The clamping hook is inserted into the clamping slot, and the clamping hook and the edge of the clamping slot are clamped to complete the installation of the panel 2 and the flange body 31. It not only ensures the stability of the connection, but also makes the installation and disassembly process simple and fast.

[0182] It is worth noting that in addition to the above-mentioned embodiment in which the flange body 31 and the panel 2 are installed by clamping, the connection between the flange body 31 and the panel 2 can also be achieved by fasteners such as screws, pins, etc. The present embodiment does not make specific limitations thereto.

[0183] In some embodiments, in combination with Figure 1 , Figure 9 and Figure 16 , the first mounting structure 32 includes a plurality of fasteners 321, and the plurality of fasteners 321 are arranged along the circumference of the flange air outlet 31a. The fastener 321 is used to connect the flange body 31 and the cabinet front plate 11.

[0184] In this way, when installing the indoor unit 100 after decoration, the plurality of fasteners 321 in the first mounting structure 32 are arranged along the circumference of the flange air outlet 31a, which can uniformly and tightly connect the flange body 31 and the cabinet front plate 11 together, thereby enhancing the stability of the entire connection structure. After connecting the flange body 31 and the cabinet front plate 11, the flange air outlet 31a is in communication with the cabinet air outlet 1a, which is conducive to the airflow flowing from the cabinet air outlet 1a into the flange air outlet 31a.

[0185] It can be understood that the fastener 321 can be a screw, a pin, a stud, etc., and the embodiments are not limited in this regard. Exemplarily, the fastener 321 is a screw, and the screw can firmly connect the flange body 31 and the front plate 11 of the cabinet together by the torsion generated by rotation. The fastening effect is reliable, can withstand a certain vibration and impact force, and ensures the stability of the connection structure. By tightening the screw, the connection between the flange body 31 and the front plate 11 of the cabinet can be ensured to be tight and gapless.

[0186] Since when the indoor unit 100 is installed after decoration, a certain gap between the flange air outlet 31a and the cabinet air outlet 1a can still exist after the flange body 31 and the front plate 11 of the cabinet are connected by the fastener 321, in some embodiments, the indoor unit 100 further comprises a sealing member, which is sealingly connected between the flange body 31 and the front plate 11 of the cabinet and is arranged around the flange air outlet 31a.

[0187] In this way, the presence of the sealing member effectively fills the gap between the flange body 31 and the front plate 11 of the cabinet, preventing the leakage of cold air or hot air during transmission. At the same time, in the cooling mode, the sealing member can reduce the possibility of external hot air penetrating into the indoor unit 100 through the gap, thereby improving the heat preservation effect of the indoor unit 100, which helps to maintain the stability of the indoor temperature, reduces the operating burden of the air conditioner, and reduces energy consumption. In addition, the sealing member also plays a certain supporting role when connecting the flange body 31 and the front plate 11 of the cabinet, which helps to enhance the overall structural stability of the indoor unit 100.

[0188] It should be noted that the sealing member can be a rubber gasket, a sponge, or other components that can play a sealing role, and the embodiments are not limited in this regard. Exemplarily, the sealing member is a rubber gasket, which has good elasticity and plasticity and can tightly fit the gap between the flange body 31 and the front plate 11 of the cabinet, effectively preventing the leakage of cold air or hot air during transmission. At the same time, the rubber gasket can resist oxidation, corrosion and wear during long-term use, prolonging the service life of the sealing member and reducing the frequency of replacement and maintenance. In addition, the rubber gasket also has a certain damping and buffering effect, ensuring the stable operation of the indoor unit 100.

[0189] It should be noted that in addition to the above-mentioned embodiments of arranging a sealing member between the flange body 31 and the front plate 11 of the cabinet, a sealant can also be applied in the gap between the flange air outlet 31a and the cabinet air outlet 1a to achieve sealing, and the embodiments are not limited in this regard.

[0190] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 2, Figure 5 The panel 2 comprises a panel body, and the panel body is provided with a panel air outlet 2a for guiding gas into the room.

[0191] The panel 2 further comprises a first air deflector group 22 arranged at the panel air outlet 2a, which can swing in the horizontal direction to adjust the horizontal air outlet direction. By adjusting the horizontal air outlet direction of the air flowing out of the panel air outlet 2a through the first air deflector group 22, the air can flow in the horizontal direction.

[0192] The panel 2 further comprises a second air deflector group 23 arranged along the air outlet direction with the first air deflector group 22, which can swing in the vertical direction to adjust the vertical air outlet direction.

[0193] In this way, the first air deflector group 22 can swing in the horizontal direction, which allows the air flowing out of the panel air outlet 2a to adjust the horizontal air outlet direction as needed, increasing the flexibility of air flow and enabling more precise control of indoor air distribution to meet the temperature or airflow requirements of different areas. The second air deflector group 23 swings in the vertical direction to adjust the vertical air outlet direction, which can effectively avoid cold or hot air directly blowing on the human body by adjusting the angle of air outlet, reducing discomfort and improving user comfort.

[0194] In addition, through the cooperation of the first air deflector group 22 and the second air deflector group 23, the path of the air flowing out of the panel air outlet 2a can be optimized, which helps to reduce air flow turbulence and vortex, improves air circulation efficiency, makes indoor temperature more uniform, and reduces temperature difference. The adjustability of the air deflector group allows the air flow to be more directly delivered to the target area, reducing ineffective air supply, thereby improving air supply effect, which is beneficial to improve the energy efficiency ratio of the air conditioning system and reduce energy consumption.

[0195] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 1, Figure 6 The first air deflector group 22 comprises a plurality of rotatable first air deflectors 221, the rotation axis of the first air deflector 221 extends in the vertical direction, and the first air deflector 221 rotates to adjust the horizontal air outlet direction. The horizontal air outlet direction is changed by rotating the first air deflector 221.

[0196] The second air deflector group 23 comprises a plurality of rotatable second air deflectors 231, the rotation axis of the second air deflector 231 extends in the horizontal direction, and the second air deflector 231 rotates to adjust the vertical air outlet direction. The vertical air outlet direction is changed by rotating the second air deflector 231.

[0197] In this way, the user can change the horizontal air outlet direction by adjusting the first air deflector 221 in the first air deflector group 22 and change the vertical air outlet direction by adjusting the second air deflector 231 in the second air deflector group 23 according to actual needs, which can effectively avoid cold or hot air directly blowing on the human body by adjusting the angle of air outlet, reducing discomfort and improving user comfort.

[0198] In some embodiments, the second air deflector group 23 is switchable between an open state and a closed state, and when the second air deflector group 23 is in the closed state, the second air deflector group 23 blocks the panel air outlet 2a.

[0199] In this way, when the second air deflector group 23 is in the open state, the second air deflector group 23 can swing in the vertical direction to change the vertical air outlet direction, which can avoid the air outlet direction directly facing the human body, avoid cold air and hot air directly blowing on the human body, and thus reduce the discomfort of the human body. When the second air deflector group 23 is in the closed state, the second air deflector group 23 completely blocks the panel air outlet 2a, so that the panel 2 can be integrated with the decoration of the indoor ceiling support, making the appearance of the air conditioner decoration more beautiful. The second air deflector group 23 blocking the panel air outlet 2a can also prevent dust particles and other impurities from entering the indoor unit 100 from the panel air outlet 2a, ensuring the service life of the indoor unit 100.

[0200] In some embodiments, the indoor unit 100 further comprises a first driving member disposed in the cabinet 1, and the first driving member is configured to drive the first air deflector group 22 to rotate. Through the control of the first driving member on the first air deflector group 22, the automatic rotation of the first air deflector group 22 is realized.

[0201] As shown in Figure 14 , the indoor unit 100 further comprises a second driving member 4 disposed in the panel body, and the second driving member 4 is configured to drive the second air deflector group 23 to rotate. Through the control of the second driving member 4 on the second air deflector group 23, the automatic rotation of the second air deflector group 23 is realized.
