[0028] Among them, as shown in Figure 4 、 5 , 6, the air filter 400 is arranged in the cabinet 10 near the bottom end face. The air filter 400 and the supply fan mounting plate 110 form a heat exchange cavity 13. The air filter 400 and the bottom end face of the cabinet 10 form a fresh air cavity 14.
[0029] Among them, as shown in Figure 4 、 5 , 6, the evaporator 200 is installed on the evaporator fixing plate 210, and the evaporator fixing plate 210 is fixedly arranged in the heat exchange cavity 13.
[0030] Among them, as shown in Figure 4 、 5, 6, the air valve mechanism is arranged in the fresh air cavity 14, and is used for controlling opening and closing of the fresh air outlet 16 and the indoor return air outlet 15. By controlling the air valve mechanism, the indoor air conditioning unit embodiment involved in the present application can implement a fresh air natural cooling mode, a mechanical refrigeration mode and a mixed refrigeration mode. The air valve mechanism comprises: an air valve actuator 510 fixedly arranged in the fresh air cavity 14 and used for executing a control instruction of an external controller on the air valve mechanism; an air valve bearing 520 arranged on the air valve actuator 510 and capable of being driven by the air valve actuator 510; and an air valve blade 530, one end of which is connected with the air valve bearing 520, and the air valve blade 530 can cover the fresh air outlet 16 or the indoor return air outlet 15 by rotation of the air valve bearing 520.

In the mixed mode, the proportion of outdoor air entering can be adjusted by the angle of the air valve blade 530, so as to control the room temperature.
[0031] In the embodiment, a plurality of sealing members are further arranged, which are used in cooperation with the air valve mechanism to close the indoor return air outlet 15 or the fresh air outlet 16.

The outdoor unit 30 has a built-in compressor and condenser, forming a refrigerant circulation system.
[0038] In this embodiment, the refrigerant used in the refrigerant circulation system is Freon. In other embodiments, the refrigeration system equipment can be adjusted to accommodate different types of refrigerants, depending on actual needs.
[0039] Preferably, temperature sensors can be installed at the indoor return air inlet 15, the air outlet 12, and the outdoor unit, and a controller connected to the temperature sensors can be installed at the damper actuator 510. The controller can automatically adjust the opening and closing angle of the damper blades 530 based on the temperature parameters collected by the temperature sensors.
[0040] Among them, such as Figure 1 As shown, the chassis 10 is provided with multiple mounting feet 17 for fixing the indoor air conditioning unit, and each mounting foot 17 is provided with a fixing groove.
[0041] In addition, this application also provides an indoor air conditioning unit installation method for installing the indoor air conditioning unit as described above, specifically including a ceiling installation method and a wall-mounted installation method.
[0042] Among them, such as Figure 8 As shown, the ceiling installation methods include:
[0043] 1. Align the fresh air outlet 16 with the reserved air inlet on the wall, and ensure the level.
[0044] 2. Insert the wall top hanger into the fixed slot of the machine case mounting leg 17.
[0045] 3. After using the level to calibrate the levelness of the machine set, lock the anti-loose nut at the end of the hanger.
[0046] 4. According to the shape of the air supply pipe 20, knock the corresponding knock-off hole 162 on the sealing plate 161, and insert and fix the air supply pipe.

[0050] 3. After calibration, lock the anti-loose nut at the end of the expansion bolt.
[0051] 4. Knock the knock-off hole 162 matched with the L-shaped air supply pipe, and complete the pipe connection.
[0052] The indoor air conditioning unit related to the embodiments of the present application increases the fresh air outlet 16 compared with the indoor air conditioning unit in the prior art. When the outdoor temperature is low, the fresh air natural cooling mode can be used. When the outdoor temperature is high, the mechanical refrigeration mode can be used. When the outdoor temperature is high but lower than the return air temperature, the mixed refrigeration mode can be used. Thus, the energy consumption of the indoor air conditioning unit can be reduced. At the same time, the mixed refrigeration mode can adjust the fresh air proportion as needed to balance the refrigeration load and energy efficiency. The combination of the L-shaped water pan 300 and the inclined evaporator 200 avoids internal corrosion and filter failure caused by condensed water. Through the design of the mounting leg 17 and the multi-shape knock-off hole 162, the ceiling mounting method and the wall-mounted installation method can be matched to adapt to different building structure requirements.
