Detailed Implementation

[0035] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. The embodiments described with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary. The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below.

[0036] In this application, the indoor air conditioner performs a refrigeration cycle by using a compressor, condenser, expansion valve, and evaporator. The refrigeration cycle includes a series of processes involving compression, condensation, expansion, and evaporation, and supplies refrigerant to the conditioned and heat-exchanged air.

[0037] The compressor compresses refrigerant gas under high temperature and pressure and discharges the compressed refrigerant gas. The discharged refrigerant gas flows into the condenser. The condenser condenses the compressed refrigerant into a liquid phase, and the heat is released to the surrounding environment through the condensation process.

[0038] The expansion valve expands the high-temperature, high-pressure liquid refrigerant condensed in the condenser into a low-pressure liquid refrigerant. The evaporator evaporates the expanded refrigerant in the expansion valve, returning the low-temperature, low-pressure refrigerant gas to the compressor. The evaporator achieves its cooling effect by utilizing the latent heat of refrigerant evaporation to exchange heat with the material being cooled. Throughout this cycle, the indoor air conditioner regulates the temperature of the indoor space.

[0039] The outdoor unit of an indoor air conditioner refers to the part of the refrigeration cycle that includes the compressor and the outdoor heat exchanger. The indoor unit of an indoor air conditioner includes the indoor heat exchanger, and the expansion valve can be provided in either the indoor or outdoor unit.

[0040] Indoor and outdoor heat exchangers function as either condensers or evaporators. When the indoor heat exchanger is used as a condenser, the indoor air conditioner functions as a heater in heating mode; when the indoor heat exchanger is used as an evaporator, the indoor air conditioner functions as a cooler in cooling mode.

[0041] The following is for reference. Figures 1-12 The air conditioner indoor unit 10 according to an embodiment of the present utility model includes: a wall-mounted panel 11 and a unit body 100.

[0042] Specifically, the wall-mounted plate 11 is used to fix the indoor unit 10 of the air conditioner to the indoor wall; the unit 100 is hung on the wall-mounted plate 11, and a first receiving space 15 is formed between the wall-mounted plate 11 and the unit 100.

[0043] It should be noted that during the arrangement of the indoor unit 10 in the indoor environment, it is suitable to have a wall mounting plate 11 installed on an indoor wall, such as an indoor wall, so that the wall mounting plate 11 can provide a position for the assembly of the unit 100, allowing the unit 100 to be connected to the wall mounting plate 11 during assembly, thus achieving the desired arrangement in the indoor environment. The wall mounting plate 11 is also suitable for being installed horizontally in the indoor environment, thus achieving a horizontal arrangement of the unit 100. It can be understood that arranging the unit 100 horizontally in the indoor environment allows it to operate according to its design during use. During use, the condensate generated by the indoor unit 10 can be discharged outside the indoor unit 10 as designed, thereby preventing the condensate from affecting the internal structure of the indoor unit 10, making the use of the indoor unit 10 safer and more reliable, and thus improving the performance and service life of the indoor unit 10.

[0044] Furthermore, during the assembly of the indoor unit 10 in the indoor environment, it is suitable to construct a wall mounting plate 11 on the indoor wall. During the assembly of the unit 100 onto the wall mounting plate 11, it is suitable to form a first receiving space 15 between the wall mounting plate 11 and the unit 100, so as to facilitate the assembly of the unit 100 onto the wall mounting plate 11. Alternatively, when the unit 100 needs to be maintained, it is suitable to form a first receiving space 15 between the unit 100 and the wall mounting plate 11, so as to facilitate the user to inspect or maintain the unit 100, thereby improving the working performance and service life of the indoor unit 10.

[0045] Specifically, the unit 100 includes: a base 110, an outer casing 120, an indoor heat exchanger, and a connecting pipe 140. The base 110 is located on the front side of the wall-mounted panel 11, and has an air outlet 111. Both ends of the base 110 in the left-right direction have drain outlets 112, which are connected to drain pipes 113. The outer casing 120 covers the base 110, forming a second receiving space 121 between the outer casing 120 and the base 110. The outer casing 120 has an air inlet. The indoor heat exchanger is located within the second receiving space 121 and is used for heat exchange with indoor air through the air inlet and outlet 111. One end of the connecting pipe 140 is connected to the indoor heat exchanger. 40 is at least partially disposed within the first accommodating space 15; the outer shell 120 includes: an outer shell body 123 and a plurality of outer shell connecting plates 124, the outer shell body 123 having a plurality of notches 1231; the plurality of outer shell connecting plates 124 are respectively disposed at the plurality of notches 1231 and detachably connected to the outer shell body 123; wherein, the outer shell body 123 includes a front side 1234, a bottom surface 1235, a left side surface 1236 and a right side surface 1237, the plurality of notches 1231 are respectively located on the bottom surface 1235, the left side surface 1236 and the right side surface 1237, and after the outer shell connecting plate 124 is separated from the outer shell body 123, at least one notch 1231 corresponds to the drain pipe 113.

[0046] In other words, during the construction of the unit 100, it is suitable to include a base 110, a casing 120, an indoor heat exchanger, and a connecting pipe 140. The base 110 is suitable to be supported on the bottom side of the unit 100, so that other structures of the indoor air conditioner can be arranged on the base 110, and the base 110 can support other structures to make the use of the indoor air conditioner 10 more reliable. The casing 120 is suitable to cover the outside of the base 110, so that a second receiving space 121 can be constructed between the base 110 and the casing 120, so that the second receiving space 121 is suitable to accommodate other structures, so that the casing 120 is suitable to protect other structures, so that the indoor air conditioner 10 can be used as designed, and so that the use of the indoor air conditioner 10 is more reliable. Specifically, an indoor heat exchanger and connecting pipe 140 are suitable for being constructed within the first accommodating space 15. When the refrigerant passes through the indoor heat exchanger, it is suitable for heat exchange, allowing the exchanged heat to be applied to the indoor environment. This enables the indoor unit 10 to improve the indoor environment according to user needs, thereby enhancing the user's indoor experience. After heat exchange in the indoor heat exchanger, the refrigerant is suitable for being discharged through the connecting pipe 140 and applied to the outdoor heat exchanger for further processing and use. Afterward, it can return to the compressor through the outdoor heat exchanger to participate in the refrigerant cycle again. Furthermore, the heat exchanged by the refrigerant after passing through the indoor heat exchanger is suitable for being applied to the indoor environment under the guidance of the air inlet, thus improving the indoor environment.

[0047] It should be noted that a drain outlet 112 for draining condensate is adapted to be constructed on the base 110, and a drain pipe 113 is provided in the drain outlet 112 so that condensate can be discharged through the drain pipe 113. The arrangement of the drain pipe 113 on the outer casing 120 is adapted to correspond to the arrangement on the outer casing 120 so that the drain pipe 113 can discharge condensate better according to the design, so as to avoid the impact of condensate on the structural performance of the air conditioner indoor unit 10, thereby improving the reliability of the air conditioner indoor unit 10.

[0048] Specifically, the outer casing 120 is adapted to include an outer casing body 123 and an outer casing connecting plate 124. Multiple notches 1231 are adapted to be constructed on the outer casing body 123 so that multiple outer casing connecting plates 124 are adapted to be arranged at the multiple notches 1231. Since the outer casing connecting plates 124 are adapted to be detachably assembled at the notches 1231 according to the design, the position of the drain pipe 113 is adapted to be arranged in one of the multiple notches 1231 according to the needs during the arrangement process. This allows the arrangement position of the drain pipe 113 to be arranged according to the current needs of the air conditioner indoor unit 10, so that the structural arrangement of the air conditioner indoor unit 10 can meet different environmental needs, thereby improving the performance and user experience of the air conditioner indoor unit 10.

[0049] In some specific embodiments, the outer casing 123 is adapted to include a front side 1234, a bottom surface 1235, a left side surface 1236, and a right side surface 1237. The front side surface 1234 is adapted to provide space for the arrangement of the air outlet 111, while notches 1231 are adapted to be constructed on the bottom surface 1235, the left side surface 1236, and the right side surface 1237, respectively, so that the notches 1231 are adapted to provide positions for the arrangement of the outer casing connecting plate 124, so that the outer casing connecting plate 124 can be correspondingly arranged on the bottom surface 1235, the left side surface 1236, and the right side surface 1237, so that the drain pipe 113 can be arranged in a way that allows for the placement of the drain pipe 113. During the process, it is suitable to select according to the needs, so that the outer casing connecting plate 124 can be removed from the outer casing body 123 as needed, so that the notch 1231 on the outer casing body 123 can be exposed, so that the drain pipe 113 can be arranged at the appropriate notch 1231 according to the design, making the arrangement of the air conditioner indoor unit 10 in the indoor environment more reliable, so as to have higher performance to meet the use needs of the air conditioner indoor unit 10, and so that the drain pipe 113 can discharge the condensate in the air conditioner indoor unit 10 to the outside of the air conditioner indoor unit 10, so as to avoid the condensate from affecting the use of the air conditioner indoor unit 10.

[0050] According to the embodiment of the present utility model, the indoor unit 10 of the air conditioner has multiple notches 1231 on the outer shell body 123, and an outer shell connecting plate 124 is arranged at the notches 1231 respectively. During the arrangement process, the drain pipe 113 of the indoor unit 10 can be selectively opened at different positions of the outer shell connecting plate 124 so that the drain pipe 113 can be arranged at different corner notches 1231 as needed. This allows the arrangement position of the drain pipe 113 to meet the usage needs of different indoor environments, so that the drain pipe 113 can discharge the condensate of the indoor unit 10 of the air conditioner according to the design, thereby avoiding the impact of condensate on the indoor unit 10 of the air conditioner, improving the performance and service life of the indoor unit 10 of the air conditioner, and at the same time, the arrangement position of the drain pipe 113 can be adjusted as needed to improve the applicability of the indoor unit 10 of the air conditioner.

[0051] In some embodiments, the plurality of notches 1231 include: a first notch 1232 and a second notch 1233, at least a portion of the first notch 1232 being located on the bottom surface 1235 and at least another portion of the first notch 1232 being located on the left side surface 1236; at least a portion of the second notch 1233 being located on the bottom surface 1235 and at least another portion of the second notch 1233 being located on the right side surface 1237.

[0052] In other words, during the construction of the outer casing 123, it is suitable to construct a first notch 1232 and a second notch 1233 on the outer casing 123. The first notch 1232 is suitable to be constructed on the bottom surface 1235 and the left side surface 1236, while the second notch 1233 is suitable to be constructed on the bottom surface 1235 and the right side surface 1237. Because the first notch 1232 and the second notch 1233 are located at the two end corners of the bottom surface 1235, the drain pipe 113 is positioned at the corner of the bottom surface 1235. This allows the drain pipe 113 to be arranged in the corner of the air conditioner indoor unit 10 as needed, meeting different environmental requirements and improving the reliability of the air conditioner indoor unit 10. Meanwhile, when the indoor unit 10 of the air conditioner is moved, the arrangement of the drain pipe 113 can be adjusted again as needed. While ensuring the performance of the indoor unit 10, the relocation can also avoid affecting the use of the indoor unit 10, so that the condensate can be discharged from the indoor unit 10 as designed, making the use of the indoor unit 10 more reliable.

[0053] In some embodiments, the plurality of housing connecting plates 124 include: a first connecting plate 1241 and a second connecting plate 1242, wherein the first connecting plate 1241 is detachably connected to the first notch 1232; and the second connecting plate 1242 is detachably connected to the second notch 1233. In this way, the multiple outer casing connecting plates 124 are adapted to include a first connecting plate 1241 and a second connecting plate 1242. The first connecting plate 1241 is adapted to be detachably connected to the first notch 1232 as needed, and the second connecting plate 1242 is adapted to be detachably connected to the second notch 1233 as needed. During the arrangement of the drain pipe 113, one of the first connecting plate 1241 or the second connecting plate 1242 can be selectively opened to expose the first notch 1232 or the second notch 1233, so that the drain pipe 113 can be arranged at the first notch 1232 or the second notch 1233 as needed. This allows the air conditioner indoor unit 10 to adjust the arrangement position of the drain pipe 113 according to the design during the arrangement process, making the arrangement of the air conditioner indoor unit 10 in the indoor environment more reliable, thereby ensuring the performance of the air conditioner indoor unit 10. Furthermore, when the drain pipe 113 is arranged into one of the first notch 1232 or the second notch 1233, it is suitable to disassemble one of the first connecting plate 1241 or the second connecting plate 1242, while the other of the first notch 1232 or the second notch 1233 is suitable to be shielded by the other of the first connecting plate 1241 or the second connecting plate 1242, so as to avoid the indoor environment from affecting the use of the air conditioner indoor unit 10, so as to make the use of the air conditioner indoor unit 10 more reliable.

[0054] In some embodiments, the first connecting plate 1241 and the second connecting plate 1242 each include: a first connecting portion 1243 and a second connecting portion 1244, the first connecting portion 1243 being detachably connected to the bottom surface 1235; one end of the second connecting portion 1244 being connected to the first connecting portion 1243, and the first connecting portion 1243 and the second connecting portion 1244 being configured in an L-shape, the second connecting portion 1244 being detachably connected to one of the left side surface 1236 and the right side surface 1237.

[0055] It is understood that both the first connecting plate 1241 and the second connecting plate 1242 include a first connecting portion 1243 and a second connecting portion 1244. Since the second connecting portion 1244 is adapted to connect to one end of the first connecting portion 1243, the first connecting portion 1243 and the second connecting portion 1244 can form an L-shaped structure. This facilitates the first connecting plate 1241 and the second connecting plate 1242 to be correspondingly arranged at the corners of the outer casing 123. The first notch 1232 and the second notch 1233 are adapted to be arranged at the corners, so that the drain pipe 113 can be correspondingly arranged at the corners. This not only facilitates the complete discharge of water condensed inside the air conditioner indoor unit 10, but also reduces the structural impact of the arrangement of the drain pipe 113 on the air conditioner indoor unit 10. This makes the structural design of the air conditioner indoor unit 10 simpler and more reliable, thereby improving the reliability of the air conditioner indoor unit 10.

[0056] In some embodiments, one end of the first connecting portion 1243 is provided with a first latching portion 1245, the end of the second connecting portion 1244 opposite to the first connecting portion 1243 is provided with a second latching portion 1246, the two ends of the bottom surface 1235 in the horizontal direction are respectively provided with third latching portions 1238, and the left side surface 1236 and the right side surface 1237 are each provided with a fourth latching portion 1239. The first latching portion 1245 and the third latching portion 1238 are latched together, and the second connecting portion 1244 and the fourth latching portion 1239 are latched together. It can be understood that the first connecting portion 1243 is provided with a first latching portion 1245 at one end of the first connecting portion 1243, and the two ends of the bottom surface 1235 in the horizontal direction are provided with third latching portions 1238, so as to realize the detachable connection between the first connecting portion 1243 and the outer shell body 123 through the latching connection of the first latching portion 1245 and the third latching portion 1238. Similarly, a second snap-fit ​​portion 1246 is provided at the end of the second connecting portion 1244 opposite to the first connecting portion 1243, and a fourth snap-fit ​​portion 1239 is correspondingly provided on the left side 1236 or the right side 1237, so that the second connecting portion 1244 and the outer casing 123 can be detachably connected by snap-fit ​​connection between the second snap-fit ​​portion 1246 and the fourth snap-fit ​​portion 1239. In this way, since the first connecting plate 1241 and the second connecting plate 1242 are adapted to be connected to the outer casing 123 by detachable connection at both ends, the first notch 1232 and the second notch 1233 can be disassembled by releasing the snap-fit ​​connection when they need to be opened, so as to facilitate the exposure of the first notch 1232 and the second notch 1233, so that the position of the drain pipe 113 can be adjusted as needed, thereby extending the service life of the air conditioner indoor unit 10.

[0057] In some embodiments, the plurality of notches 1231 further includes a third notch 1248, which is located in the middle of the bottom surface 1235 and between the first notch 1232 and the second notch 1233; the plurality of housing connecting plates 124 further includes a third connecting plate 1247, which is detachably connected to the third notch 1248.

[0058] In other words, a third notch 1248 is also suitable for being constructed on the outer casing 123. The third notch 1248 is suitable for being constructed in the middle of the bottom surface 1235 and between the first notch 1232 and the second notch 1233. Since the third notch 1248 is constructed in the middle of the bottom surface 1235, the position of the drain pipe 113 can be adjusted as needed during the relocation of the air conditioner indoor unit 10. Opening the third notch 1248 allows the user to more intuitively observe the structure of the air conditioner indoor unit 10 during maintenance and adjustment of the drain pipe 113, which facilitates maintenance and adjustment of the drain pipe 113 position. This reduces the impact of the relocation process on the air conditioner indoor unit 10, thereby allowing the air conditioner indoor unit 10 to have higher performance during use to meet usage needs and higher reliability to meet the layout requirements of the indoor environment. After the position of the drain pipe 113 is adjusted, or after the air conditioner indoor unit 10 is repaired, it is appropriate to reassemble the third connecting plate 1247 onto the third notch 1248 so that the third connecting plate 1247 can cover the third notch 1248 to avoid dust and other factors affecting the use of the air conditioner indoor unit 10, thereby extending the service life of the air conditioner.

[0059] In some embodiments, the outer casing 123 is further provided with a sealing baffle 125. The sealing baffle 125 is located on any one of the bottom surface 1235, the left side surface 1236, and the right side surface 1237, and is disposed opposite to the notch 1231. The sealing baffle 125 is used to cover the gap between the outer casing connecting plate 124 and the outer casing 123. It is understood that the sealing baffle 125 is also provided on the outer casing 123 so that the sealing baffle 125 is suitable for covering the gap between the outer casing connecting plate 124 and the outer casing 123, so as to prevent dust and impurities from entering the air conditioner indoor unit 10 through the gap, thereby improving the reliability of the air conditioner indoor unit 10 and having higher performance and service life.

[0060] In some embodiments, the wall-mounted panel 11 is provided with a horizontal seat 12, and a horizontal groove 13 is provided on the horizontal seat 12. A horizontal member 14 is restricted within the horizontal groove 13, and the horizontal member 14 is configured to rotate within the horizontal groove 13. It is understood that by providing a horizontal seat 12 on the wall-mounted panel 11 and a horizontal groove 13 within the horizontal seat 12, and by restricting the horizontal member 14 within the horizontal groove 13, the horizontal member 14 can rotate within the horizontal groove 13. This allows the wall-mounted panel 11 to be horizontally positioned by observing the position and movement of the horizontal member 14 when it is placed on an indoor wall. In this way, by determining the position of the horizontal member 14 to determine the horizontality of the wall-mounted panel 11, and when the wall-mounted panel 11 can be horizontally positioned on the indoor wall, the indoor air conditioning unit 10 can be easily connected to the horizontally positioned wall-mounted panel 11, thus simplifying the assembly process and improving assembly efficiency.

[0061] In some embodiments, the horizontal seat 12 is provided with limiting ribs 16 spaced apart in the vertical direction. The limiting ribs 16 restrict the horizontal member 14 on both sides, and the middle of the limiting ribs 16 is provided with a protrusion 17. That is, during the construction of the horizontal seat 12, it is suitable to provide limiting ribs 16 on the horizontal seat 12. The limiting ribs 16 are suitable to restrict the horizontal member 14 to rotate within the horizontal groove 13 to prevent the horizontal member 14 from coming out of the horizontal groove 13. This allows the horizontal member 14 to rotate within the horizontal groove 13 under the restriction of the limiting ribs 16, so that the position of the horizontal member 14 can reflect whether the wall panel 11 is currently horizontal. This allows the user to judge the assembly status of the body 100 by the position of the horizontal member 14 when assembling the body 100 onto the wall panel 11, making the assembly process of the body 100 simpler and more efficient, thereby improving assembly efficiency.

[0062] In some embodiments, the wall panel 11 is provided with support seats 19 at intervals, and support members 18 are rotatably provided on the support seats 19. There are two support seats 19 and they are arranged opposite to each other with the support members 18. The free end of the support member 18 extends in the horizontal direction, and the support member 18 is arranged opposite to the base 110 and the support member 18 selectively supports the base 110. Thus, by providing a support base 19 on the wall panel 11, the support base 19 is adapted to provide load-bearing for the support member 18, and the support member 18 is rotatably connected to the support base 19 so that the support member 18 can be adapted to the base 110. This allows the machine body 100 to be supported by the base 110 during assembly or when the machine body 100 needs to be inspected and repaired, so as to facilitate the maintenance and repair of the machine body 100. It also makes it easier to determine the assembly status of the machine body 100 on the wall panel 11. This not only simplifies the assembly process and improves assembly efficiency, but also facilitates maintenance and repair, and improves performance and service life.

A second receiving space 121 is formed between the housing 120 and the base 110, and the housing 120 is provided with an air inlet; an indoor heat exchanger is disposed in the second receiving space 121, and the indoor heat exchanger is used to exchange heat with indoor air through the air inlet and outlet 111; one end of the connecting pipe 140 is connected to the indoor heat exchanger, and the connecting pipe 140 is at least partially disposed in the first receiving space 15; the housing 120 includes: a housing body 123 and a plurality of housing connecting plates 124, and a plurality of notches 1231 are provided on the housing body 123; the plurality of housing connecting plates 124 are respectively disposed at the plurality of notches 1231 and are detachably connected to the housing body 123, and the drain pipe 113 is selectively arranged in any one of the plurality of notches 1231.

[0064] It should be noted that during the arrangement of the indoor unit 10 in the indoor environment, it is suitable to have a wall mounting plate 11 installed on an indoor wall, such as an indoor wall, so that the wall mounting plate 11 can provide a position for the assembly of the unit 100, allowing the unit 100 to be connected to the wall mounting plate 11 during assembly, thus achieving the desired arrangement in the indoor environment. The wall mounting plate 11 is also suitable for being installed horizontally in the indoor environment, thus achieving a horizontal arrangement of the unit 100. It can be understood that arranging the unit 100 horizontally in the indoor environment allows it to operate according to its design during use. During use, the condensate generated by the indoor unit 10 can be discharged outside the indoor unit 10 as designed, thereby preventing the condensate from affecting the internal structure of the indoor unit 10, making the use of the indoor unit 10 safer and more reliable, and thus improving the performance and service life of the indoor unit 10.

[0065] Furthermore, during the assembly of the indoor unit 10 in the indoor environment, it is suitable to construct a wall mounting plate 11 on the indoor wall. During the assembly of the unit 100 onto the wall mounting plate 11, it is suitable to form a first receiving space 15 between the wall mounting plate 11 and the unit 100, so as to facilitate the assembly of the unit 100 onto the wall mounting plate 11. Alternatively, when the unit 100 needs to be maintained, it is suitable to form a first receiving space 15 between the unit 100 and the wall mounting plate 11, so as to facilitate the user to inspect or maintain the unit 100, thereby improving the working performance and service life of the indoor unit 10.

[0066] In other words, during the construction of the unit 100, it is suitable to include a base 110, a casing 120, an indoor heat exchanger, and a connecting pipe 140. The base 110 is suitable to be supported on the bottom side of the unit 100, so that other structures of the indoor air conditioner can be arranged on the base 110, and the base 110 can support other structures to make the use of the indoor air conditioner 10 more reliable. The casing 120 is suitable to cover the outside of the base 110, so that a second receiving space 121 can be constructed between the base 110 and the casing 120, so that the second receiving space 121 is suitable to accommodate other structures, so that the casing 120 is suitable to protect other structures, so that the indoor air conditioner 10 can be used as designed, and so that the use of the indoor air conditioner 10 is more reliable. Specifically, an indoor heat exchanger and connecting pipe 140 are suitable for being constructed within the first accommodating space 15. When the refrigerant passes through the indoor heat exchanger, it is suitable for heat exchange, allowing the exchanged heat to be applied to the indoor environment. This enables the indoor unit 10 to improve the indoor environment according to user needs, thereby enhancing the user's indoor experience. After heat exchange in the indoor heat exchanger, the refrigerant is suitable for being discharged through the connecting pipe 140 and applied to the outdoor heat exchanger for further processing and use. Afterward, it can return to the compressor through the outdoor heat exchanger to participate in the refrigerant cycle again. Furthermore, the heat exchanged by the refrigerant after passing through the indoor heat exchanger is suitable for being applied to the indoor environment under the guidance of the air inlet, thus improving the indoor environment.

[0067] It should be noted that a drain outlet 112 for draining condensate is adapted to be constructed on the base 110, and a drain pipe 113 is provided in the drain outlet 112 so that condensate can be discharged through the drain pipe 113. The arrangement of the drain pipe 113 on the outer casing 120 is adapted to correspond to the arrangement on the outer casing 120 so that the drain pipe 113 can discharge condensate better according to the design, so as to avoid the impact of condensate on the structural performance of the air conditioner indoor unit 10, thereby improving the reliability of the air conditioner indoor unit 10.

[0068] Specifically, the outer casing 120 is adapted to include an outer casing body 123 and an outer casing connecting plate 124. Multiple notches 1231 are adapted to be constructed on the outer casing body 123 so that multiple outer casing connecting plates 124 are adapted to be arranged at the multiple notches 1231. Since the outer casing connecting plates 124 are adapted to be detachably assembled at the notches 1231 according to the design, the position of the drain pipe 113 is adapted to be arranged in one of the multiple notches 1231 according to the needs during the arrangement process.
