In this specification, the illustrative expressions of the above terms do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Furthermore, the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments or examples. Moreover, without contradiction, those skilled in the art can combine and integrate the different embodiments or examples described in this specification, as well as the features of different embodiments or examples.

[0050] The following is combined Figures 1-15 This invention describes the indoor unit of an air conditioner.

[0051] An embodiment of the first aspect of this utility model provides an indoor unit for an air conditioner, such as... Figures 8 to 10 As shown, the indoor unit of the air conditioner includes a housing 10, which includes a cover 100 and a panel 200 disposed on the cover 100.

[0052] The cover 100 is provided with a mounting port 110; the panel 200 is movably connected to the cover 100 and is adapted to switch between a first position and a second position. In the first position, the panel 200 is positioned at the mounting port 110; in the second position, the panel 200 opens the mounting port 110.

[0053] It is understood that the housing 100 has an installation opening 110, and the panel 200 is movably connected to the housing 100 and can switch between a first position and a second position. When the panel 200 is in the first position (i.e., the closed state), the panel 200 is embedded in the installation opening 110 of the housing 100, and the panel 200 is flush with the surface of the housing 100 or recessed into the housing 100 to form a complete appearance. When the panel 200 is in the second position (i.e., the open state), the panel 200 can be opened relative to the housing 100 to expose the installation opening 110, which facilitates cleaning and maintenance of the internal components of the housing 100 and also helps to extend the service life of the indoor unit of the air conditioner.

[0054] It should be noted that in the prior art, the panel 200 adopts a floating design and is exposed outside the cover 100, resulting in most of the cover 100 being obscured when viewed from the front and side, making it difficult to showcase its shape and overall visual effect. In this utility model, however, the panel 200 is embedded inside the cover 100 when closed, making the surface of the cover 100 more complete, fully showcasing the overall appearance design of the cover 100, and enhancing the visual effect of the product.

[0055] The air conditioner indoor unit provided in this embodiment of the utility model has a mounting opening 110 on the housing 100 that matches the panel 200. This allows the panel 200 to be installed in the mounting opening 110 in a recessed manner, keeping the panel 200 flush with the outer surface of the housing 100. This effectively avoids misalignment between the panel 200 and the housing 100, thereby improving the overall aesthetics of the unit. In addition, the panel 200 is movably connected to the mounting opening 110 of the housing 100, allowing it to be opened or closed relative to the mounting opening 110. When maintenance or repair of the internal components of the housing 100 is required, the mounting opening 110 can be exposed by opening the panel 200, making it easier for operators to perform maintenance work and improving maintenance efficiency and ease of use.

[0056] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figures 10 to 13 As shown, the cover 100 is provided with a first connector 120, and the panel 200 is provided with a second connector 210 that is movably connected to the first connector 120. In the second position, the panel 200 moves out of the mounting port 110.

[0057] It is understood that the cooperation of the first connector 120 and the second connector 210 enables a rotatable and / or slidable connection between the panel 200 and the cover 100, allowing the panel 200 to switch between a first position and a second position. Specifically, when the panel 200 is in the first position, it covers the mounting opening 110 of the cover 100, forming an integral appearance with the cover 100; when the panel 200 is in the second position, the panel 200 moves out of the mounting opening 110 by means of movement and / or rotation, thereby opening the mounting opening 110 and ensuring the stability and reliability of the panel 200 during the opening process.

[0058] Optionally, the first connector 120 is provided with a guide hole 121, the first end of the guide hole 121 being away from the mounting port 110, and the second end of the guide hole 121 being close to the mounting port 110; the second connector 210 is provided with a rotating shaft, the rotating shaft being inserted into the guide hole 121 and slidingly engaging with the guide hole 121, in a first position, the rotating shaft being inserted at the first end of the guide hole 121; in a second position, the rotating shaft being inserted at the second end of the guide hole 121.

[0059] It is understood that a first connector 120 is provided on the cover 100. The first connector 120 is located inside the mounting opening 110. The first connector 120 is provided with a guide hole 121. The guide hole 121 is an elongated hole. The first end of the guide hole 121 is away from the mounting opening 110, and the second end is close to the mounting opening 110. A second connector 210 is provided at one end of the panel 200. The second connector 210 is provided with a rotating shaft. The rotating shaft is inserted into the guide hole 121 and slides in cooperation with the guide hole 121, thereby realizing the movable connection between the panel 200 and the cover 100.

[0060] When the panel 200 is in the first position, the pivot is located at the first end of the guide hole 121. At this time, the panel 200 is embedded in the mounting opening 110 and is flush with the surface of the cover 100, forming a complete overall appearance. When the panel 200 is switched from the first position to the second position, the pivot slides along the first end of the guide hole 121 to the second end, driving the panel 200 out of the mounting opening 110. By rotating the pivot, the panel 200 rotates around the center of the pivot away from the mounting opening 110 to open the mounting opening 110, making it easier to clean or maintain the inside of the air conditioner.

[0061] It should be noted that the panel 200 and the cover 100 are guided and positioned by the sliding fit between the guide hole 121 and the rotating shaft, so as to ensure the stability of the movement of the panel 200 and the smoothness of operation.

[0062] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 13 and Figure 14As shown, the second end of the guide hole 121 has a locking hole portion 1211 that mates with the rotating shaft. An opening 1212 is formed on the side of the locking hole portion 1211 near the first end of the guide hole 121. The size of the opening 1212 is smaller than the diameter of the rotating shaft. A deformation portion 1213 is formed on the side of the opening 1212 away from the locking hole portion 1211. The deformation portion 1213 is used to generate elastic deformation so that the rotating shaft passes through the opening 1212.

[0063] It is understood that the second end of the guide hole 121 is formed with a locking hole 1211 that mates with the rotating shaft. The locking hole 1211 has an opening 1212 on the side near the first end of the guide hole 121. The size of the opening 1212 is smaller than the diameter of the rotating shaft, thus forming an interference fit. A deformation part 1213 is provided on the side of the opening 1212 away from the locking hole 1211. The deformation part 1213 has a certain elastic deformation capability. When the panel 200 is switched from the first position to the second position, and the rotating shaft slides along the guide hole 121 and reaches the second end, the rotating shaft needs to enter the locking hole 1211 through the opening 1212. At this time, the deformation part 1213 undergoes elastic deformation under the action of external force, causing the opening 1212 to temporarily expand and allow the rotating shaft to pass through; when the external force is removed, the deformation part 1213 returns to its original shape, stably locking the rotating shaft in the locking hole 1211, realizing the positioning and fixation of the panel 200 in the open state, thereby improving the stability of the panel 200 after it is opened and preventing it from closing automatically due to vibration or external force.

[0064] It should be noted that when the air conditioner malfunctions and requires maintenance or repair, the user should first move the panel 200 away from the wall. Because the guide hole 121 on the casing 100 is designed to be elongated, the deformation part 1213 on the casing 100 deforms and provides clearance during the movement of the panel 200, allowing the rotating shaft of the panel 200 to slide along the guide hole 121 to the second end. Once the rotating shaft reaches the second end of the guide hole 121, the panel 200 can be rotated and opened, thus smoothly opening the mounting port 110 for easy inspection or cleaning of the air conditioner's interior. It should be noted that "away from the wall" refers to moving the panel 200 in the opposite direction to the wall. Assuming the indoor unit of the air conditioner is mounted on the wall, this direction is perpendicular to the wall and points towards the interior of the room.

[0065] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 14 As shown, the guide hole 121 has a notch 1214 on its wall, and a deformable part 1213 is formed between the notch 1214 and the opening 1212.

[0066] Specifically, a notch 1214 is provided on the wall of the guide hole 121. The notch 1214 is adjacent to the opening 1212 on the locking hole 1211, and a deformation portion 1213 is formed between them. The deformation portion 1213 has a certain elastic deformation capability, and can undergo elastic deformation when the rotating shaft enters the locking hole 1211 through the opening 1212, so that the opening 1212 temporarily expands, thereby allowing the rotating shaft to smoothly enter the locking hole 1211; when the rotating shaft is fully inserted, the deformation portion 1213 returns to its original shape, so that the opening 1212 maintains its limiting effect on the rotating shaft.

[0067] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 7 As shown, the deformable part 1213 has a guide surface 1215.

[0068] Understandably, the guide hole 121 has a guide surface 1215 located between the opening 1212 and the notch 1214. When the panel 200 switches from the first position to the second position, the rotating shaft slides along the guide hole 121 and gradually approaches the locking hole 1211, facilitating the smooth passage and entry of the rotating shaft into the locking hole 1211. The design of the guide surface 1215 helps reduce the resistance when the rotating shaft enters the locking hole 1211, improves the smoothness of sliding, and guides the rotating shaft to accurately align and engage with the locking hole 1211.

[0069] In one embodiment of the present invention, the indoor unit of the air conditioner further includes a positioning component, which is used to accurately position the panel 200 when it is in the open state.

[0070] like Figure 12 and Figure 15 As shown, the positioning component includes a first positioning member 130 and a second positioning member 220; the first positioning member 130 is disposed on the cover 100; the second positioning member 220 is disposed on the panel 200; in the second position, the second positioning member 220 abuts against the first positioning member 130.

[0071] Understandably, when panel 200 switches from the first position to the second position, the second positioning member 220 moves with panel 200 and eventually abuts against the first positioning member 130, thereby limiting further rotation of panel 200 and ensuring that it remains in the open state.

[0072] In one embodiment of the present invention, the indoor unit of the air conditioner further includes a locking component (not shown in the figure). The locking component is used to lock the panel 200 when the panel 200 is in the second position (i.e., the open state) to prevent it from being displaced or automatically closed due to external force or vibration.

[0073] The locking component can be installed on the cover 100, or on the panel 200, or both on the cover 100 and the panel 200, so that a more reliable locking effect can be achieved through the cooperation of the two.

[0074] It is understandable that when the panel 200 is switched to the second position, the locking component temporarily fixes the panel 200 to the cover 100 through mechanical snap-fit, magnetic attraction or other means, thereby improving the stability and safety of the panel 200 after it is opened.

[0075] In one embodiment of this utility model, a sealing element is provided between the mounting port 110 and the panel 200.

[0076] For example, the seal can be made of a flexible material (such as rubber or silicone) and fitted onto the edge of the mounting port 110 or fixed to the periphery of the panel 200. When the panel 200 is in the first position (i.e., the closed state), the seal is compressed and tightly fitted between the panel 200 and the housing 100, providing a good seal. This seal not only effectively prevents dust from entering the air conditioner and keeps the interior clean, but also reduces noise caused by air leakage during operation, improving the overall airtightness and operating efficiency of the unit. In addition, it can enhance the air conditioner's anti-condensation performance to a certain extent, preventing water vapor leakage caused by temperature changes, thereby improving product performance and user experience.

[0077] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a humidification component 400 and a water filling component 500 are provided inside the housing 10.

[0078] The shell has a circulation channel for air circulation and a water filling part 140. A humidification component 400 is disposed in the circulation channel. The humidification component 400 includes a water storage component 410 and a humidification component 420. The water storage component 410 is disposed in the shell, and the humidification component 420 is connected to the water storage component 410. The humidification component 420 is used to carry out the water in the water storage component 410 to humidify the air in the circulation channel. A water filling component 500 is connected to the water storage component 410 and is used to add water to the water storage component 410.

[0079] Understandably, the casing is equipped with an air inlet 150 and an air outlet, forming a flow channel between them. An indoor heat exchanger is installed inside the casing within this flow channel. During operation, air enters the casing through the air inlet 150, undergoes heating or cooling treatment by the indoor heat exchanger, and is then blown into the room through the air outlet to regulate the indoor temperature.

[0080] It should be noted that when the indoor unit of an air conditioner is in heating mode, the air blown out from the vent is often quite dry, which can easily cause discomfort such as heat and reduce user comfort. Therefore, this invention incorporates a humidifying component 400 within the airflow channel, which effectively humidifies the air flowing through it during air conditioner operation, thereby improving indoor air quality, increasing air humidity, and further enhancing user comfort.

[0081] Specifically, when the air conditioner requires increased air humidity, the humidification component 420 is activated, introducing water stored in the water storage unit 410 into the airflow channel through atomization, evaporation, or capillary adsorption. This allows the air to carry a certain amount of water vapor and be expelled through the air outlet, thus humidifying the indoor air. During this process, the humidification component 400 works in conjunction with the air conditioning duct, utilizing airflow to evenly diffuse moisture, improving humidification efficiency and comfort.

[0082] The humidification component 400 includes a water storage component 410 and a humidification component 420. The water storage component 410 is disposed in the housing, and the humidification component 420 is connected to the water storage component 410. The humidification component 420 is used to carry out the water in the water storage component 410 to humidify the air in the circulation channel to achieve the humidification function. In addition, a water filling component 500 is disposed in the housing and is connected to the water storage component 410 to replenish the water in the water storage component 410, thereby ensuring that the humidification component 400 works continuously and stably.

[0083] Optionally, the water filling assembly 500 is adapted to switch between a first state and a second state. In the first state, the water filling assembly 500 is connected to the water filling section 140 to add water to the water storage unit 410. In the second state, the water filling assembly 500 is disconnected from the water filling section 140.

[0084] Understandably, the water filling assembly 500 is configured to switch between a first state and a second state. When the water filling assembly 500 is in the first state, it is connected to the water filling part 140 on the housing, thereby supplying water to the water storage unit 410 through the water filling part 140, realizing the water filling function of the water storage unit 410; while when the water filling assembly 500 switches to the second state, the connection between it and the water filling part 140 is disconnected, and water filling to the water storage unit 410 stops, thereby realizing flexible control of the water filling process.

[0085] The air conditioner indoor unit provided in this embodiment of the invention can effectively humidify the air flowing through the circulation channel by adding a humidifying component 400 in the circulation channel inside the casing, thereby improving the air quality entering the room and enhancing user comfort. Simultaneously, a water filling component 500 is connected to the water storage component 410 of the humidifying component 400. The water filling component 500 can switch between a first state and a second state. When water needs to be added, it switches to the first state and connects to the water filling part 140 on the casing to supply water to the water storage component 410. When water is not needed, it switches to the second state and disconnects from the water filling part 140, realizing automated control of the water filling process and thus improving the safety and energy efficiency of the equipment operation.

[0086] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the water filling assembly 500 includes a water filling pipe 510, a drive pump 520, and a drive motor 530. The first end of the water filling pipe 510 is connected to the water storage component 410. The drive pump 520 is disposed on the water filling pipe 510. The drive motor 530 is used to drive the water filling pipe 510 to move, so as to realize the connection and disconnection between the second end of the water filling pipe 510 and the water filling part 140. In the first state, the second end of the water filling pipe 510 is connected to the water filling part 140. In the second state, the second end of the water filling pipe 510 is away from the water filling part 140.

[0087] Specifically, the water filling assembly 500 includes a water filling pipe 510, a drive pump 520, and a drive motor 530. The drive pump 520 is mounted on the water filling pipe 510 to provide water flow power. The first end of the water filling pipe 510 is connected to the water storage unit 410, and the drive motor 530 is used to control the movement of the water filling pipe 510. When the water filling assembly 500 is in the first state, the second end of the water filling pipe 510 is connected to the water filling part 140 on the housing. At this time, the drive pump 520 is started, which can introduce external water source into the water storage unit 410 through the water filling part 140 and the water filling pipe 510 to realize the water filling function. After the water storage unit 410 is filled with water, the water filling assembly 500 is switched from the first state to the second state, the drive pump 520 stops, and at the same time, the drive motor 530 drives the water filling pipe 510 to move, so that the second end of the water filling pipe 510 is disconnected from the water filling part 140, thereby disconnecting the water filling pipe 510 from the external water source and stopping the water filling.

[0088] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figures 4 to 7 As shown, a humidification mounting bracket 430 is provided inside the housing, a water storage component 410 is provided on the humidification mounting bracket 430, and a drive pump 520 and a drive motor 530 are both provided on the humidification mounting bracket 430.

[0089] For example, the output of the drive motor 530 is provided with a first transmission part 531, and the outer wall of the water filling pipe 510 is provided with a second transmission part that cooperates with the first transmission part 531. When the drive motor 530 starts, power is transmitted to the water filling pipe 510 through the transmission connection between the first transmission part 531 and the second transmission part, thereby driving the water filling pipe 510 to move in a set direction, so that the water filling pipe 510 can achieve stable position switching under the drive of the drive motor 530, thereby ensuring reliable switching between the first state and the second state.

[0090] In this embodiment, the first transmission part 531 is in the form of a transmission gear and is located at the output end of the drive motor 530; the second transmission part is a transmission gear located on the outer wall of the water inlet pipe 510, and the transmission gear meshes with the transmission gear. When the drive motor 530 starts, the transmission gear rotates accordingly, and drives the water inlet pipe 510 to move through meshing with the transmission gear, thereby realizing the connection and disconnection between the second end of the water inlet pipe 510 and the water inlet part 140.

[0091] Optionally, the humidification assembly 400 also includes a water level detection element (not shown in the figure), which is disposed in the water storage unit 410 and is used to detect the amount of water in the water storage unit 410.

[0092] Understandably, the water level detection device is used to monitor the water level inside the water storage container 410 in real time. When the water level in the water storage container 410 is lower than the set value, the water level detection device will send a signal, and the control system will activate the water filling component 500 according to the signal, switching it to the first state and adding water to the water storage container 410; when the water level reaches the set value, the water level detection device will send a signal again, controlling the water filling component 500 to switch to the second state, thereby realizing automatic control of the water filling process, effectively avoiding the risk of water shortage or overflow in the water storage container 410, and ensuring the stable and safe operation of the equipment.

[0093] In one embodiment of the present invention, the water filling part 140 includes a water inlet. In a first state, the water filling pipe 510 is connected to the water inlet and extends to the outside of the housing.

[0094] It is understood that the water filling part 140 is a water inlet located on the housing. When the water filling assembly 500 is in the first state, the second end of the water filling pipe 510 is located at the water inlet and extends to the outside of the housing through the water inlet so as to connect with the external water source and realize the water filling of the water storage component 410. When the water filling assembly 500 is in the second state, the second end of the water filling pipe 510 will move away from the water inlet, thereby disconnecting from the water inlet. This allows the water filling pipe 510 to be isolated from the external water source when water filling is not required, which avoids unnecessary water loss and reduces the risk of pollution or leakage that may be caused by long-term connection, thereby ensuring the safety and stability of equipment operation.

[0095] In another embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 3 As shown, the water filling section 140 includes a water inlet and a water inlet pipe. The water inlet pipe is located outside the housing and is connected to the water inlet. In the first state, the water filling pipe 510 is connected to the water inlet.

[0096] It is understood that the water filling unit 140 includes a water inlet provided on the housing and a water inlet pipe located outside the housing and connected to the water inlet; when the water filling assembly 500 is in the first state, the second end of the water filling pipe 510 is connected to the water inlet, thereby forming a complete water filling passage from the external water source through the water inlet pipe, the water inlet, the water filling pipe 510 to the water storage unit 410, realizing the automatic water filling function of the water storage unit 410; when the water filling assembly 500 is in the second state, the second end of the water filling pipe 510 will move away from the water inlet, thereby disconnecting the connection with the water inlet.

[0097] In this embodiment, the water storage component 410 is a water tank, the drive pump 520 is a water pump, and the water inlet is located at the bottom side of the housing. When the humidification component 400 needs water, the drive motor 530 starts, driving the water inlet pipe 510 to move, lowering the second end of the water inlet pipe 510 to its lowest position. At this time, the second end of the water inlet pipe 510 is connected to the water inlet. The water pump is turned on, and external water flows through the inlet pipe, water inlet, and water inlet pipe 510 into the water storage component 410, thus adding water to the water storage component 410. After the water storage component 410 is filled with water, the drive motor 530 drives the water inlet pipe 510 to move, the water pump stops working, and the second end of the water inlet pipe 510 retracts under the drive of the drive motor 530, disconnecting the connection between the second end of the water inlet pipe 510 and the water inlet.

[0098] In one embodiment of this utility model, the housing is provided with a guide portion (not shown in the figure), and the water inlet pipe 510 is slidably disposed on the guide portion. The guide portion provides guidance and support for the movement of the water inlet pipe 510, ensuring that it can move stably and smoothly along a predetermined trajectory under the drive of the drive motor 530, thereby realizing a reliable connection or separation with the water inlet.

[0099] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the panel 200 is movably connected to the housing 100 and can open or close the mounting port 110, and the humidification component 400 is arranged close to the mounting port 110.

[0100] It is understood that the panel 200 is movably connected to the housing 100 and can be opened or closed relative to the mounting port 110 to close or open the internal space of the housing; the humidifying component 400 is located inside the housing and is arranged close to the mounting port 110. When maintenance or repair of the humidifying component 400 is required, the panel 200 can be opened to easily access the humidifying component 400, thereby improving the convenience and efficiency of maintenance operations.

[0101] In this embodiment, the cover 100 has an upper side and a lower side that are arranged opposite to each other. The upper side is provided with an air inlet 150 for introducing indoor air; the lower side is provided with an air outlet for blowing treated air into the room. The air outlet is provided with an openable and closable air guide plate 300 for adjusting the air direction and opening / closing state; the front side connecting the upper side and the lower side is provided with a mounting port 110, and the panel 200 is disposed in the mounting port 110.

[0102] Optional, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the humidification component 400 is disposed on the panel 200. By integrating the humidification component 400 onto the panel 200, the humidification component 400 can be directly exposed when the panel 200 is opened, which makes it convenient for users or maintenance personnel to clean, replace or repair the humidification component 400 and the water filling component 500, further improving the ease of operation.

[0103] It should be noted that the humidification component 400 is located on the panel 200, which helps to optimize the internal space structure of the housing, thereby improving humidification efficiency and air handling effect.

[0104] Furthermore, the humidifying component 400 is detachably connected to the inner side of the panel 200. It should be noted that the inner side of the panel 200 is the surface of the panel 200 facing the inside of the housing 100 when the mounting port 110 is closed.

[0105] Specifically, a humidifier mounting bracket 430 is provided on the inner side of the panel 200, and the water storage component 410 is slidably mounted on the bracket. The water storage component 410 is equipped with a handle, which allows it to be slid in or out along the bracket for quick installation or removal. This design not only facilitates regular cleaning or replacement of the water storage component 410 but also improves the convenience and efficiency of humidifier component 400 maintenance. Furthermore, the detachable structure helps maintain the cleanliness of the inside of the water storage component 410, preventing scale buildup or bacterial growth, further improving air quality and safety during air conditioning use.

[0106] Optionally, the humidifier mounting bracket 430 is equipped with a stop (not shown in the figure). This stop is used to limit the position of the water storage component 410 after it slides into place, preventing it from shifting or falling off due to vibration or external force during air conditioning operation. Thus, the stop design ensures that the water storage component 410 is securely installed on the humidifier mounting bracket 430, guaranteeing the stability and safety of the humidifier assembly 400 during operation. It should be noted that the stop structure allows users to manually release the stop when it is necessary to disassemble the water storage component 410, enabling quick and convenient maintenance operations and further improving the ease of use and reliability of the equipment.
