Air conditioner indoor unit and air conditioner

Abstract

This utility model relates to the field of air conditioner technology, providing an indoor air conditioner unit and an air conditioner. In the indoor air conditioner unit, a flip-up connector enables a flip-up connection between the storage shell and the indoor unit casing. When the air deflector mechanism needs maintenance or cleaning, it is not necessary to disassemble multiple components of the protective casing; simply flipping the storage shell to the open position allows the storage cavity to be fully opened, directly accessing the internal air deflector mechanism. This significantly simplifies the operation steps and reduces maintenance difficulty. Simultaneously, this flip-up design avoids the risk of component damage during disassembly, reducing unnecessary losses and effectively improving after-sales maintenance efficiency. Furthermore, in the non-operating state, the storage shell can be flipped to the closed position, completely storing the air deflector mechanism within the sealed storage cavity, still providing protection against dust and debris, ensuring the cleanliness and service life of the air deflector mechanism, thus balancing performance and maintenance convenience.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air conditioner technology, and in particular to an indoor air conditioner unit and an air conditioner. Background Technology

[0002] In modern air conditioning usage scenarios, users' demands for comfort are constantly increasing, with avoiding direct cold air blowing on the human body becoming an important direction for experience optimization. To achieve this goal, the industry generally equips air conditioner indoor units with anti-direct-blow baffles. By adjusting the angle and position of the baffle, the airflow is guided to change its direction, thereby effectively reducing the discomfort caused by direct airflow. However, as an exposed component of the air conditioner indoor unit, the anti-direct-blow baffle is easily exposed to the indoor environment for a long time when not in operation, making it very easy to accumulate dust, hair, and other debris. This not only affects the cleanliness of the air conditioner's appearance but may also cause the baffle adjustment to become stuck due to excessive dust accumulation, or even affect the airflow guidance effect.

[0003] To address this issue, existing technologies typically house the anti-direct-blow baffle within a dedicated protective housing, using the housing to physically shield the baffle and reduce contaminant adhesion during non-operational periods. However, this design has significant drawbacks: because the baffle structure is completely enclosed within the protective housing, when the baffle experiences mechanical failure requiring repair or needs cleaning and maintenance due to long-term use, operators must first disassemble multiple components of the protective housing to access the baffle's connecting structure and adjustment mechanism. This not only increases the steps and difficulty of maintenance but also risks causing secondary damage to the housing or baffle due to improper handling during disassembly, significantly reducing the efficiency of air conditioning after-sales maintenance.

[0005] In a first aspect, this utility model provides an indoor unit for an air conditioner, comprising: an indoor unit housing; a storage shell, wherein the storage shell is rotatably connected to the indoor unit housing via a flip-connector, and a storage cavity is formed between the storage shell and the indoor unit housing; the storage shell is convertible between an open position and a closed position, wherein in the open position the storage cavity is open to the outside, and in the closed position the storage cavity is closed; and a wind deflector mechanism, wherein the wind deflector mechanism is connected to the storage shell and is retractable into the storage cavity.

[0006] According to the present invention, an indoor unit of an air conditioner includes: a housing body, wherein a maintenance opening is provided on the front side of the housing body; an inner liner plate, wherein the inner liner plate is detachably fastened to the front side of the housing body and the inner liner plate can cover the maintenance opening; and a storage shell is rotatably connected to the inner liner plate through the flip-up connector, wherein the storage shell and the inner liner plate form the storage cavity.

[0007] According to the present invention, an air conditioner indoor unit is provided with an air outlet at the bottom of the housing body; the wind deflector is connected to the storage shell, and the wind deflector can switch between a wind deflector position and a storage position. In the wind deflector position, the wind deflector extends to the air outlet outside the storage cavity, and in the storage position, the wind deflector is stored inside the storage cavity.

[0008] According to the present invention, an indoor air conditioner unit is provided with a telescopic opening at the bottom of the storage shell.

[0009] The windproof mechanism includes: a roller shaft rotatably connected to the storage shell; and a windproof roller shutter, one end of which is connected to the roller shaft, and the other end of which can extend and retract from the telescopic opening to switch between the windproof position and the storage position.

[0010] According to the present invention, an indoor air conditioning unit further includes a wind deflector mechanism: a motor connected to the roller and used to drive the roller to rotate.

[0011] According to the present invention, an indoor air conditioning unit further includes a wind deflector mechanism: a counterweight limiting block connected to one end of the wind deflector roller shutter away from the roller shaft, and the counterweight limiting block being able to be limited to the outside of the telescopic opening.

[0015] A second aspect of this utility model is to provide an air conditioner, including the indoor unit as described above.

[0016] The air conditioner indoor unit provided by this utility model includes an indoor unit housing, a storage shell, and a wind deflector mechanism. The storage shell is rotatably connected to the indoor unit housing via a flip-up connector, forming a storage cavity between the storage shell and the indoor unit housing. The storage shell can switch between an open position and a closed position; in the open position, the storage cavity is open to the outside; in the closed position, the storage cavity is closed. The wind deflector mechanism is connected to the storage shell and can be stored inside the storage cavity. When it is necessary to maintain the wind deflector mechanism inside the storage shell, simply flip the storage shell to a position away from the indoor unit housing, so that the storage cavity is open to the outside. The operation process is relatively simple.

[0017] As described above, the flip-connector allows for a flip-up connection between the storage shell and the inner unit housing. When the wind deflector mechanism needs maintenance or cleaning, it is unnecessary to disassemble multiple components of the protective shell. Simply flip the storage shell to the open position to fully open the storage cavity, directly accessing the internal wind deflector mechanism. This significantly simplifies the operation and reduces maintenance difficulty. Simultaneously, this flip-up design avoids the risk of component damage during disassembly, reducing unnecessary wear and tear and effectively improving after-sales maintenance efficiency. Furthermore, in the non-operating state, the storage shell can be flipped to the closed position, completely storing the wind deflector mechanism within the sealed storage cavity. This still provides protection against dust and debris, ensuring the cleanliness and lifespan of the wind deflector mechanism, balancing performance and ease of maintenance.

The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0030] The following is combined Figures 1 to 4 This invention describes an indoor air conditioning unit and an air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present invention. It should be understood that the following description is merely an illustrative embodiment of the present invention and does not constitute any particular limitation on the present invention.

[0031] An embodiment of the first aspect of this utility model provides an indoor unit for an air conditioner, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, it includes: an inner unit housing 100; a storage shell 200, which is rotatably connected to the inner unit housing 100 via a flip connector, forming a storage cavity between the storage shell 200 and the inner unit housing 100, and the storage shell 200 can switch between an open position and a closed position. In the open position, the storage cavity is open to the outside, and in the closed position, the storage cavity is closed; and a wind deflector 300, which is connected to the storage shell 200 and can be stored in the storage cavity.

[0032] The air conditioner indoor unit provided by this utility model includes an indoor unit housing 100, a storage shell 200, and a wind deflector mechanism 300. The storage shell 200 is rotatably connected to the indoor unit housing 100 via a flip-up connector, forming a storage cavity between the storage shell 200 and the indoor unit housing 100. The storage shell 200 can switch between an open position and a closed position. In the open position, the storage cavity is open to the outside; in the closed position, the storage cavity is closed. The wind deflector mechanism 300 is connected to the storage shell 200 and can be stored inside the storage cavity. When it is necessary to maintain the wind deflector mechanism 300 inside the storage shell 200, it is only necessary to flip the storage shell 200 to a position away from the indoor unit housing 100, so that the storage cavity is open to the outside. The operation process is relatively simple.

[0033] As described above, the flip-connector allows for a flip-connection between the storage shell 200 and the inner unit housing 100. When the wind deflector mechanism 300 needs maintenance or cleaning, it is not necessary to disassemble multiple components of the protective housing. Simply flipping the storage shell 200 to the open position allows the storage cavity to be fully opened, directly accessing the internal wind deflector mechanism 300. This significantly simplifies the operation and reduces maintenance difficulty. Simultaneously, this flip-design avoids the risk of component damage during disassembly, reducing unnecessary wear and tear and effectively improving after-sales maintenance efficiency. Furthermore, in the non-operating state, the storage shell 200 can be flipped to the closed position, completely storing the wind deflector mechanism 300 within the sealed storage cavity. This still provides protection against dust and debris, ensuring the cleanliness and lifespan of the wind deflector mechanism 300, balancing performance and ease of maintenance.

[0034] In one embodiment of the present invention, the inner casing 100 includes: a casing body 110, with a maintenance opening provided on the front side of the casing body 110; and an inner liner 120, which is detachably fastened to the front side of the casing body 110 and can cover the maintenance opening.

[0035] The storage shell 200 is foldably connected to the inner liner 120 via a flip connector, forming a storage cavity between the storage shell 200 and the inner liner 120.

[0036] Specifically, a maintenance opening is provided on the front side of the housing body 110 for maintaining internal components. An inner liner 120 is connected to the front of the housing body 110 via clips or screws, covering the maintenance opening. A storage shell 200 is connected to the outside of the inner liner 120 via a flip connector, such as a flip shaft. A storage cavity is formed between the storage shell 200 and the inner liner 120, and a baffle structure is connected within the storage cavity. When maintenance or cleaning of the baffle structure is required, the storage shell 200 is flipped to the side away from the inner liner 120. When maintenance of internal components of the housing body 110 is required, the inner liner 120 and the storage shell 200 are disassembled as a whole.

[0037] In one embodiment of the present invention, an air outlet 130 is provided at the bottom of the housing body 110.

[0038] The wind deflector 300 is connected to the storage shell 200, and the wind deflector 300 can switch between the wind deflector position and the storage position. In the wind deflector position, the wind deflector 300 extends to the air outlet 130 outside the storage cavity. In the storage position, the wind deflector 300 is stored inside the storage cavity.

[0039] In one embodiment of this utility model, a telescopic opening 210 is provided at the bottom of the storage shell 200.

[0040] The windbreak mechanism 300 includes: a roller, which is rotatably connected to the storage shell 200; and a windbreak roller shutter 310, one end of which is connected to the roller, and the other end of which can extend and retract from the telescopic opening 210 to switch between the windbreak position and the storage position.

[0041] Furthermore, in one embodiment of this utility model, the windbreak mechanism 300 further includes a motor, which is connected to the roller and is used to drive the roller to rotate.

[0042] In one embodiment of the present invention, the indoor unit of the air conditioner further includes: an air guide plate 400, which is rotatably connected to the air outlet 130.

[0043] For example, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, an inner liner 120 is installed on the front side of the housing body 110. The outer side of the inner liner 120 is connected to the storage shell 200 via a flip shaft. An air outlet 130 is opened at the bottom of the housing body 110. A guide plate 400 is rotatably connected to the air outlet 130. A roller is rotatably connected laterally within the inner cavity of the storage shell 200. The roller can be driven to rotate by a motor. One end of the windproof curtain is connected to the roller, and the other end of the windproof curtain hangs down naturally, and can extend out of the storage cavity or retract into the storage cavity through the telescopic port 210 to switch between the windproof position and the storage position. For example, when windproofing is needed, the motor is controlled to rotate forward to lower the roller and when windproofing is complete, the motor is controlled to rotate in reverse to roll up the roller. In actual operation, the lowering length of the windproof curtain can be adjusted according to actual usage needs, while coordinating with the air delivery angle of the guide plate 400, so that the air outlet 130 is suitable for the user's needs.

[0044] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figures 1 to 4As shown, the windbreak mechanism 300 also includes a counterweight limiting block 320, which is connected to the end of the windbreak roller shutter 310 away from the roller shaft, and the counterweight limiting block 320 can be limited to the outside of the telescopic opening 210. With this structural arrangement, not only can the maximum retracted length of the roller shutter be limited, but the windbreak curtain can also be pulled downward to improve its wind-blocking effect.

[0045] In one embodiment of this utility model, the windbreak mechanism 300 further includes a shaft bracket connected to the inner side of the housing 200, and a semi-circular support hole provided on the shaft bracket, with the scroll rotatably connected to the semi-circular support hole. By directly supporting the scroll on the shaft bracket with the semi-circular support hole, the ease of maintenance of the windbreak mechanism 300 can be improved.

[0046] A second aspect of this utility model provides an air conditioner, including the indoor unit described above.

[0047] Furthermore, the air conditioner provided by this utility model, since it includes the indoor unit as described above, also possesses the advantages described above.

[0048] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and not to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
