For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0047] The air conditioner 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0048] like Figures 1-4As shown, the air conditioner 100 according to an embodiment of the present utility model includes a main unit 1 and a mounting base 2.

[0049] Specifically, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, the air conditioner 100 is suitable for installation on the ceiling 200. Most of the air conditioner 100 can be hidden between the ceiling 200 and the floor slab at the top of the room. The air conditioner 100 will not disrupt the overall design or decoration style of the room. The air conditioner 100 can be integrated into any type of interior design. Moreover, since the air conditioner 100 is installed at the top, the cool air can be evenly distributed throughout the room, creating a more comfortable environment.

[0050] The ceiling 200 has two first keels 201 spaced apart along a first direction. The first keels 201 extend along a second direction, and the first and second directions are perpendicular. The air conditioner 100 is adapted to be located between the two first keels 201. The main unit 1 includes a first heat exchange section 11 and a second heat exchange section 12. At least one mounting base 2 is connected to the main unit 1 and its position relative to the main unit 1 is adjustable to accommodate the arrangement of the first heat exchange section 11 and the second heat exchange section 12 along the first or second direction.

[0051] It is understandable that the installation order of the air conditioner 100 and the ceiling 200 depends on the user's needs (for example, the user can install the air conditioner 100 first and then the ceiling 200 during renovation, or the user can install the air conditioner 100 after the ceiling 200 is installed). Since the air conditioner 100 is affected by the different layouts of the two first keels 201 in different room types, and the air outlet direction of the air conditioner 100 is affected by the different air outlet directions in different rooms, the first heat exchange unit 11 and the second heat exchange unit 12 need to have two arrangement methods along the first direction or the second direction, so that the air conditioner 100 can adapt to different room types and different indoor environments.

[0052] Therefore, by connecting the mounting base 2 to the main unit 1 and adjusting its position relative to the main unit 1, the first heat exchange section 11 and the second heat exchange section 12 can be arranged along a first direction or a second direction. This avoids interference between the mounting base 2 and the first keel 201 during the installation of the air conditioner 100 before or after installation on the ceiling 200, reduces installation restrictions on the air conditioner 100, eliminates the need to cut the first keel 201, effectively reduces the installation difficulty of the air conditioner 100, improves installation efficiency, and ensures the overall structural strength of the ceiling 200 where the air conditioner 100 is installed. Simultaneously, the main unit 1 is fixed by connecting the mounting base 2 to the floor slab. Optionally, the mounting base 2 and the main unit 1 are connected by fasteners.

[0053] Optionally, the ceiling 200 is an aluminum ceiling panel, and the first keel 201 is an aluminum ceiling panel keel.

[0054] like Figures 1-4As shown, the ceiling 200 also has multiple third keels 203. The third keels 203 extend along a second direction and are located below the first keel 201. The multiple third keels 203 are spaced apart along a first direction and connected to the first keel 201. The first keel 201 is the main keel, and the third keels 203 are secondary keels. In the scheme where the air conditioner 100 is installed before the ceiling 200, the mounting base 2 is connected to the main unit 1 and its position relative to the main unit 1 is adjustable. During the subsequent installation of the first keel 201 and the third keels 203, it is not necessary to cut the first keel 201 and the third keel 203, thus ensuring the overall structural strength of the ceiling 200. In the scheme where the ceiling 200 is installed before the air conditioner 100, the mounting base 2 is connected to the main unit 1 and its position relative to the main unit 1 is adjustable, allowing the mounting base 2 to avoid the first keel 201. It is not necessary to cut the first keel 201, which is the main keel; only the third keels 203, which are secondary keels, need to be cut, effectively ensuring the overall structural strength of the ceiling 200.

[0055] Furthermore, one of the first heat exchange section 11 and the second heat exchange section 12 corresponds to the indoor unit of the air conditioner 100, and the other corresponds to the outdoor unit of the air conditioner 100. Specifically, when the air conditioner 100 is running in cooling mode, the heat exchange medium in the heat exchange section corresponding to the outdoor unit releases heat, and the heat exchange medium in the heat exchange section corresponding to the indoor unit absorbs heat, so the heat exchange section corresponding to the indoor unit can blow cold air into the room; when the air conditioner 100 is running in heating mode, the heat exchange medium in the heat exchange section corresponding to the outdoor unit absorbs heat, and the heat exchange medium in the heat exchange section corresponding to the indoor unit releases heat, so the heat exchange section corresponding to the indoor unit can blow hot air into the room.

[0056] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the air conditioner 100 is adapted to be installed on a ceiling 200. The ceiling 200 has two first keels 201 spaced apart along a first direction. The first keels 201 extend along a second direction, and the first and second directions are perpendicular. The air conditioner 100 is adapted to be located between the two first keels 201. The main unit 1 includes a first heat exchange part 11 and a second heat exchange part 12, which is connected to the main unit 1 through at least one mounting seat 2 and whose position relative to the main unit 1 is adjustable. This is to ensure that the first heat exchange part 11 and the second heat exchange part 12 are arranged along the first or second direction, thereby avoiding interference between the mounting seat 2 and the first keel 201 during the installation of the air conditioner 100 before or after installation on the ceiling 200. There is no need to cut the first keel 201, which effectively reduces the installation difficulty of the air conditioner 100, improves the installation efficiency, and ensures the overall structural strength of the ceiling 200 on which the air conditioner 100 of this application is installed.

[0057] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 1-6As shown, the host 1 has a notch 13, and there are multiple mounting bases 2, including a first mounting base 21 and a second mounting base 22. The position of the first mounting base 21 relative to the host 1 is adjustable, and the position of the second mounting base 22 is located in the notch 13 and is not adjustable relative to the host 1.

[0058] It is understandable that, since the second mounting base 22 is located within the notch 13, in the arrangement of the first heat exchange section 11 and the second heat exchange section 12 along the first and second directions, the second mounting base 22 does not interfere with the first keel 201. Therefore, the position of the second mounting base 22 relative to the main unit 1 can be set to be non-adjustable. At the same time, since the first mounting base 21 is located outside the notch 13, in the arrangement of the first heat exchange section 11 and the second heat exchange section 12 along the first and second directions, there is a possibility that the first mounting base 21 may interfere with the first keel 201. Therefore, it is necessary to set the position of the first mounting base 21 relative to the main unit 1 to be adjustable, without cutting the first keel 201, effectively reducing the installation difficulty of the air conditioner 100, improving installation efficiency, and ensuring the overall structural strength of the ceiling 200 where the air conditioner 100 of this application is installed.

[0059] In addition, the main unit 1 is fixed by connecting multiple mounting bases 2 to the floor slab, so that the weight of the main unit 1 can be distributed by multiple mounting bases 2, ensuring the stable installation of the main unit 1.

[0060] Specifically, in one particular embodiment, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the first heat exchange section 11 and the second heat exchange section 12 are arranged along the first direction, as follows: Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the first heat exchange section 11 and the second heat exchange section 12 are arranged along the second direction. In the first keel 201 with the same arrangement, the position of the first mounting base 21 relative to the main unit 1 is adjustable, so that in the arrangement of the first heat exchange section 11 and the second heat exchange section 12 along the first and second directions, the first mounting base 21 and the first keel 201 do not interfere with each other. Meanwhile,

[0061] In a scheme in which the second mounting base 22 is provided in the notch 13 so that the first heat exchange section 11 and the second heat exchange section 12 are arranged along the first direction and the second direction, the second mounting base 22 does not interfere with the first keel 201.

[0062] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, when the first heat exchange section 11 and the second heat exchange section 12 are arranged along the first direction, the first mounting base 21 is parallel to the first direction, as shown. Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, when the first heat exchange section 11 and the second heat exchange section 12 are arranged along the second direction, the mounting base 2 is parallel to the first direction. It can be understood that, since the first keel 201 extends along the second direction and the two first keels 201 are spaced apart along the first direction, this arrangement ensures that the first mounting base 21 and the first keel 201 do not interfere with each other in the arrangement of the first heat exchange section 11 and the second heat exchange section 12 along the first and second directions.

[0063] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the air conditioner 100 also includes a suspension rod 3. The upper end of the suspension rod 3 is connected to the floor slab, and the lower end is connected to the mounting base 2. Thus, the suspension rod 3 indirectly connects the mounting base 2 to the floor slab, thereby fixing the main unit 1 to the floor slab. Simultaneously, the connection method between the suspension rod 3 and the mounting base 2 ensures the stability of the main unit 1. It should be noted that the vertical direction and the first and second directions are perpendicular to each other.

[0064] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the mounting base 2 includes a main body 221 and a nut. The main body 221 has an installation space 2211, the lower end of the hanger rod 3 extends into the installation space 2211, the nut is located within the installation space 2211, and the hanger rod 3 is a threaded rod that passes through the nut. Thus, by having the hanger rod 3 be threaded and passing through the nut, the nut can be rotated to adjust the vertical position of the main unit 1, allowing the position of the main unit 1 to meet the assembly requirements of different room types and indoor environments.

[0065] Meanwhile, the air conditioner 100 also includes a conversion frame 4 and a panel 5. The conversion frame 4 is connected to at least one of the first keel 201 and the main unit 1. The panel 5 is located below the ceiling 200 and is connected to at least one of the conversion frame 4 and the main unit 1. The main unit 1, the conversion frame 4 and the panel 5 together form an air outlet duct. By adjusting the position of the main unit 1 in the vertical direction, the flow path and speed of the airflow from the main unit 1 can be changed, thereby optimizing the path of the airflow blown out by the air conditioner 100 and improving the reliability of the air conditioner 100.

[0066] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 5 , Figures 7-12 As shown, the air conditioner 100 also includes a conversion frame 4 and a panel 5. The conversion frame 4 is connected to at least one of the first keel 201 and the main unit 1, and the panel 5 is located below the ceiling 200 and is connected to at least one of the conversion frame 4 and the main unit 1.

[0067] It is understandable that the main unit 1, the conversion frame 4, and the panel 5 together constitute the air outlet duct. The panel 5 has an air outlet, and the airflow from the main unit 1 is blown out from the air outlet through the air outlet duct. At the same time, the connection between the conversion frame 4 and at least one of the first keel 201 and the main unit 1, and the connection between the panel 5 and at least one of the conversion frame 4 and the main unit 1, effectively ensure the fixation of the conversion frame 4 and the panel 5, and ensure the overall structural reliability of the air conditioner 100.

[0068] Specifically, in the first embodiment, the conversion frame 4 is connected to the panel 5, and the conversion frame 4 is only connected to the host 1, thereby fixing the conversion frame 4 and the panel 5; in the second embodiment, the conversion frame 4 is connected to the panel 5, and the conversion frame 4 is only connected to the first keel 201, thereby fixing the conversion frame 4 and the panel 5; in the third embodiment, the conversion frame 4 is only connected to the first keel 201, and the panel 5 is only connected to the host 1, thereby fixing the conversion frame 4 and the panel 5; in the fourth embodiment, the conversion frame 4 is connected to the panel 5, and the conversion frame 4 is simultaneously connected to the first keel 201 and the host 1, thereby fixing the conversion frame 4 and the panel 5; in the fifth embodiment, the conversion frame 4 is connected to the panel 5, and the conversion frame 4 is simultaneously connected to the first keel 201 and the host 1, and the panel 5 is connected to the host 1, thereby fixing the conversion frame 4 and the panel 5, and so on, to achieve the fixing of the conversion frame 4 and the panel 5.

[0069] This makes the installation scheme of panel 5 and conversion frame 4 flexible, so that conversion frame 4 and panel 5 can be adapted to different room types and different indoor environments, improving the versatility of air conditioner 100.

[0070] Furthermore, panel 5 has an air outlet. Thus, the heat-exchanged airflow exiting the air outlet of main unit 1 is delivered to the indoor space via the air outlet of panel 5, thereby regulating the indoor temperature. Even further, panel 5 also has an air guide component located at the air outlet of panel 5 to change the direction of the airflow delivered through the outlet, enabling the air conditioner 100 to achieve multiple air delivery modes to meet different user needs.

[0071] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 7-9 As shown, the conversion frame 4 has upwardly extending flanges 45 on both opposite sides along the first direction. The first keel 201 has a mounting groove with its lower side open. The flanges 45 are located inside the mounting groove and are engaged with the inner wall of the mounting groove. Thus, the two flanges 45 can respectively extend into the mounting grooves of the two first keels 201 and engage with the inner wall of the mounting groove, thereby connecting the conversion frame 4 to the first keel 201.

[0072] Meanwhile, during the installation of the air conditioner 100, the main unit 1 is installed first, followed by the conversion frame 4 and the panel 5. Since the two first joists 201 are spaced apart along the first direction, the two flanges 45 of the conversion frame 4 are aligned along the first direction, allowing for fine-tuning of the position of the conversion frame 4 relative to the two first joists 201. This ensures that the conversion frame 4 is aligned with the main unit 1, effectively preventing misalignment of the conversion frame 4 from causing a decrease in the sealing performance of the air outlet duct and noise issues. Furthermore, in the connection scheme between the panel 5 and the conversion frame 4, the adjustable position of the conversion frame 4 ensures that the panel 5 is aligned with the main unit 1, preventing condensation problems caused by misalignment of the panel 5's air outlet with the main unit 1's air outlet, thus improving the overall reliability of the air conditioner 100.

[0073] Furthermore, one of the inner wall surfaces of the flange 45 and the mounting groove has a snap-fit ​​451, and the other has a slot that mates with the snap-fit ​​451, thereby achieving a snap-fit ​​connection between the flange 45 and the inner wall surface of the mounting groove. For example, as Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the flange 45 has a buckle 451, which is a plurality of buckles spaced apart along the first direction.

[0074] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 7-10 As shown, the conversion frame 4 has a first connector 41 and a second connector 42 on opposite sides along the second direction, and the first connector 41 and the second connector 42 are respectively connected to the host 1. Thus, the conversion frame 4 is connected to the host 1 by connecting the first connector 41 and the second connector 42 to the host 1.

[0075] Meanwhile, during the installation of the air conditioner 100, the main unit 1 is installed first, followed by the conversion frame 4 and the panel 5. Since the two first joists 201 are spaced apart along a first direction, and the first connector 41 and the second connector 42 are aligned along a second direction, the position of the conversion frame 4 relative to the two first joists 201 can be finely adjusted. This ensures that the conversion frame 4 is aligned with the main unit 1, effectively preventing misalignment of the conversion frame 4 from causing a decrease in the sealing performance of the air outlet duct and noise issues. Furthermore, in the connection scheme between the panel 5 and the conversion frame 4, the adjustable position of the conversion frame 4 ensures that the panel 5 is aligned with the main unit 1, preventing condensation problems caused by misalignment of the panel 5's air outlet with the main unit 1's air outlet, thus improving the overall reliability of the air conditioner 100.

[0076] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 7-10 As shown, there are multiple first connectors 41 spaced apart along a first direction. Thus, by connecting multiple first connectors 41 to the host 1, the weight of the conversion frame 4 is distributed among the multiple first connectors 41, ensuring stable installation of the conversion frame 4.

[0077] Figures 7-10The diagram shows two first connectors 41 for illustrative purposes, but those skilled in the art, after reading the following technical solution, will obviously understand that the solution can be applied to a solution with three or more first connectors 41, which also falls within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0078] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 7-10 As shown, multiple second connectors 42 are spaced apart along the first direction. Thus, by connecting the multiple second connectors 42 to the main unit 1, the multiple second connectors 42 collectively distribute the weight of the conversion frame 4, ensuring stable installation of the conversion frame 4.

[0079] Figures 7-10 The diagram shows two second connectors 42 for illustrative purposes, but those skilled in the art, after reading the following technical solution, will obviously understand that the solution can be applied to a solution with three or more first connectors 41, which would also fall within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0080] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 7-10 As shown, there are multiple first connectors 41 spaced apart along the first direction, and multiple second connectors 42 spaced apart along the first direction.

[0083] In some embodiments, the conversion frame 4 and the panel 5 are an integral piece. This arrangement ensures that the conversion frame 4 and the panel 5 are aligned. During the installation of the air conditioner 100, only the conversion frame 4 and the main unit 1 need to be connected, reducing the assembly process. Furthermore, by ensuring that the conversion frame 4 and the main unit 1 are aligned, the panel 5 and the main unit 1 can also be aligned, further reducing the assembly difficulty.

[0084] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 7-12 As shown, the conversion frame 4 has a third connector 43 and a fourth connector 44 on opposite sides along the second direction, respectively. The panel 5 has a fifth connector 51 connected to the third connector 43 and a sixth connector 52 connected to the fourth connector 44. Thus, the connection between the panel 5 and the conversion frame 4 is achieved through the connection of the third connector 43 and the fifth connector 51, and the connection of the fourth connector 44 and the fourth connector 44. Simultaneously, the relative positions of the third connector 43 and the fourth connector 44 along the second direction allow for fine-tuning of the positions of the conversion frame 4 and the panel 5, ensuring alignment between them and effectively preventing misalignment of the conversion frame 4 from causing a decrease in the sealing performance of the air outlet duct and noise issues.

[0085] In some embodiments of this utility model, the third connector 43 and the fifth connector 51 are snap-fitted together. Thus, the panel 5 and the conversion frame 4 are connected by the snap-fit ​​connection of the third connector 43 and the fifth connector 51. At the same time, the snap-fit ​​connection facilitates the assembly and disassembly of the panel 5, improving assembly efficiency and making it easier for the user to clean the panel 5.

[0086] In some embodiments of this utility model, the fourth connector 44 and the sixth connector 52 are snap-fitted together. Thus, the panel 5 and the conversion frame 4 are connected by the snap-fit ​​connection of the fourth connector 44 and the sixth connector 52. At the same time, the snap-fit ​​connection facilitates the assembly and disassembly of the panel 5, improving assembly efficiency and making it easier for the user to clean the panel 5.

[0087] In some embodiments of this utility model, the third connector 43 and the fifth connector 51 are connected by fasteners. This arrangement ensures the connection strength between the third connector 43 and the fifth connector 51, improving the connection reliability between the conversion frame 4 and the panel 5. Furthermore, the third connector 43 has three or four holes, and the fifth connector 51 has a fifth hole; fasteners are inserted into the third and fifth holes.

[0088] In some embodiments of this utility model, the fourth connector 44 and the sixth connector 52 are connected by fasteners. This arrangement ensures the connection strength between the fourth connector 44 and the sixth connector 52, improving the connection reliability between the conversion frame 4 and the panel 5. Furthermore, the fourth connector 44 has a fourth hole, and the sixth connector 52 has a sixth hole, with fasteners passing through both the fourth and sixth holes.

[0089] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 7-12As shown, there are multiple third connectors 43 spaced apart along the first direction, and multiple fifth connectors 51 are located in a one-to-one correspondence with the multiple third connectors 43. Thus, by connecting the multiple third connectors 43 to the corresponding multiple fifth connectors 51, the reliability of the connection between the panel 5 and the conversion frame 4 is further improved.

[0090] It should be noted that, Figures 7-12 The diagram shows two third connectors 43 for illustrative purposes, but those skilled in the art, after reading the following technical solution, will obviously understand that the solution can be applied to a solution with three or more first connectors 41, which would also fall within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0091] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 7-12 As shown, there are multiple fourth connectors 44 spaced apart along the first direction, and multiple sixth connectors 52 are located at one-to-one correspondences between the multiple fourth connectors 44. Therefore, by connecting the multiple fourth connectors 44 to their corresponding multiple sixth connectors 52, the reliability of the connection between the panel 5 and the conversion frame 4 is further improved.

[0092] It should be noted that, Figures 7-12 The diagram shows two fourth connectors 44 for illustrative purposes, but those skilled in the art, after reading the following technical solution, will obviously understand that the solution can be applied to three or more first connectors 41, which would also fall within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0093] In some embodiments, such as Figures 7-12 As shown, the third connector 43 and the fourth connector 44 have the same structure and shape, and the fifth connector 51 and the sixth connector 52 have the same structure and shape. Thus, through this arrangement, the third connector 43 can be connected to one of the fifth connector 51 and the sixth connector 52, and the fourth connector 44 can be connected to the other of the fifth connector 51 and the sixth connector 52. This simplifies the manufacturing difficulty of the conversion frame 4 and the panel 5, reduces the assembly difficulty of the conversion frame 4 and the panel 5, and improves efficiency.

[0094] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 7-12 As shown, the conversion frame 4 is ring-shaped, and the panel 5 and the main unit 1 are connected by fasteners located inside the conversion frame 4. Therefore, this configuration allows the panel 5 and the main unit 1 to be connected without using the conversion frame 4, while the fastener connection ensures the strength of the connection between the panel 5 and the main unit 1.

[0095] Furthermore, the panel 5 has mounting holes 53, and fasteners are inserted into the mounting holes 53 to connect with the main unit 1, thereby realizing the connection between the panel 5 and the main unit 1.

[0096] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 7-10 As shown, the inner peripheral wall of the conversion frame 4 has a reinforcing edge 46 extending toward the center of the conversion frame 4. Thus, the setting of the reinforcing edge 46 effectively improves the structural strength of the conversion frame 4, thereby ensuring the reliability of the connection between the conversion frame 4 and the first keel 201, the main unit 1 or the panel 5, and improving the overall reliability of the air conditioner 100.

[0097] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 7-10 As shown, the ceiling 200 also has a second keel 202, which is located between the two first keels 201 and extends along a second direction. The transition frame 4 has a clearance groove 47 to avoid the second keel 202. It is understood that, due to different room type restrictions, there may also be a second keel 202 extending along the second direction between the two first keels 201. Therefore, by effectively avoiding the second keel 202 through the clearance groove 47, the second keel 202 can be installed without disassembling or cutting it, ensuring the integrity of the second keel 202, thereby ensuring the structural strength of the ceiling 200, reducing assembly difficulty, and improving efficiency.

[0098] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 1-5 As shown, the ceiling 200 also has a second keel 202, which is located between the two first keels 201 and extends along the second direction. When the first heat exchange part 11 and the second heat exchange part 12 are arranged along the first direction, the first heat exchange part 11 and the second heat exchange part 12 are respectively located on both sides of the second keel 202 along the first direction. The air conditioner 100 also includes a chassis, which is located below the first heat exchange part 11 and the second heat exchange part 12 and is respectively connected to the first heat exchange part 11 and the second heat exchange part 12. The lower surface of the chassis has a first clearance groove that is recessed upward to avoid the second keel 202, or the upper surface of the chassis has a second clearance groove that is recessed downward to avoid the second keel 202.

[0099] It is understandable that in the scheme where the air conditioner 100 is installed before the ceiling 200, during the subsequent installation of the second keel 202, the lower surface of the chassis has a first relief groove that is recessed upwards to avoid the second keel 202, thus eliminating the need to disassemble or cut the second keel 202. Alternatively, in the scheme where the ceiling 200 is installed before the air conditioner 100, during the installation of the main unit 1 from bottom to top, the first heat exchanger 11 and the second heat exchanger 12 are respectively located on both sides of the second keel 202 along the first direction, so that the first heat exchanger 11 and the second heat exchanger 12 can avoid the second keel 202. At the same time, the upper surface of the chassis has a second relief groove that is recessed downwards to avoid the second keel 202, thus eliminating the need to disassemble or cut the second keel 202. Therefore, this arrangement ensures the integrity of the second keel 202, thereby ensuring the structural strength of the ceiling 200, reducing assembly difficulty, and improving efficiency.

[0100] In some embodiments of this utility model, the air conditioner 100 is a kitchen air conditioner. Kitchen spaces are relatively small, and mounting the air conditioner on the ceiling 200 maximizes the use of floor space, making the kitchen layout more compact and rational. Furthermore, kitchens produce a lot of oil fumes; installing the air conditioner 100 within the ceiling effectively prevents oil fumes from polluting and corroding the air conditioner 100, extending its service life.

[0101] Other components of the air conditioner 100 according to the embodiments of the present invention, such as the first heat exchange section 11 and the second heat exchange section 12, are known to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here.
