In addition, because the installation position is closer to the evaporator, the detected temperature and humidity may not be accurate.
[0003] Based on the above problems, patent CN202322894516.2 discloses an air conditioner temperature and humidity sensor mounting structure, which installs the temperature and humidity sensor on the bottom frame of the air conditioner shell, making installation convenient and close to the control component (control printed board) of the air conditioner.
