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.

[0029] The following is combined Figures 1 to 3 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.

[0030] An embodiment of the first aspect of this utility model provides an indoor unit for an air conditioner, such as... Figures 1 to 3As shown, it includes: an air intake ring 100; an insertion positioning structure 200, which is disposed inside the air intake ring 100; a male terminal 300, which is inserted and connected to the insertion positioning structure 200; and a female terminal 400, which is inserted and connected to the male terminal 300.

[0031] The indoor unit of the air conditioner provided by this utility model includes an air-drawing ring 100, a plug-in positioning structure 200, a male terminal 300, and a female terminal 400. The air-drawing ring 100 is disposed around the fan. The plug-in positioning structure 200 is disposed inside the air-drawing ring 100. The male terminal 300 can be plugged into the plug-in positioning structure 200. The female terminal 400 can be plugged into the male terminal 300. Before the air conditioner is installed, the male terminal 300 is fixed in the plug-in positioning structure 200. During the installation of the air conditioner, the operator only needs to plug the female terminal 400 into the male terminal 300.

[0032] As can be seen from the above description, by setting the insertion positioning structure 200 inside the air intake ring 100, the male terminal 300 is pre-fixed into the structure, which effectively avoids the terminals from getting tangled together during storage and operation, and significantly reduces the difficulty of installation; at the same time, it eliminates the terminal sorting step before installation, simplifies the manual operation process, thereby greatly reducing labor intensity and improving the overall assembly efficiency.

[0033] Understandably, an air conditioner indoor unit can have multiple sets of male terminals 300 and female terminals 400. Each male terminal 300 corresponds to a insertion positioning structure 200. Each male terminal 300 is pre-inserted and positioned onto the corresponding insertion positioning structure 200. During installation, the operator simply inserts each female terminal 400 into the corresponding male terminal 300.

[0034] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the insertion positioning structure 200 includes: a fixing frame 210, which is connected to the inner side of the air duct 100; and an insertion slot 220, which is opened to the fixing frame 210.

[0035] The male terminal 300 includes: a male terminal body 310, which is inserted and connected to the female terminal 400; and an insertion block 320, which is connected to the male terminal body 310 and is adapted to the insertion slot 220 so that the insertion block 320 can be inserted into the insertion slot 220.

[0036] In other words, an insertion block 320 is provided on the outer side of the male terminal body 310. The fixing bracket 210 is located in a spare position on the inner side of the air intake ring 100. An insertion slot 220 is provided on the fixing bracket. The insertion slot 220 is adapted to the insertion block 320. The insertion block 320 is inserted into the insertion slot 220 to fix the male terminal body 310 to the fixing bracket 210. During installation, the female terminal 400 is simply inserted into the male terminal body 310.

[0037] In one embodiment of the present invention, the insertion direction of the male terminal body 310 and the insertion direction of the insertion slot 220 are perpendicular to each other and the insertion direction of the male terminal 300 and the female terminal 400 are perpendicular to each other.

[0038] For example, the insertion direction of the male terminal body 310 into the insertion slot 220 is vertical, while the insertion direction of the male terminal 300 into the female terminal 400 is horizontal. The insertion block 320 on the male terminal body 310 is pre-inserted vertically into the insertion slot 220. Therefore, when the operator inserts the female terminal 400 into the male terminal 300 horizontally, the positioning and insertion firmness between the insertion block 320 and the insertion slot 220 will not be affected.

[0039] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 2 As shown, the inlet end of the insertion slot 220 is provided with an inlet arc-shaped guide groove 221, so that the assembly personnel can quickly position and insert the insertion block 320 into the insertion slot 220, thereby improving the convenience and efficiency of insertion.

[0040] In one embodiment of the present invention, the positioning insertion structure further includes a receiving groove 240, which is formed in the fixing frame 210. The receiving groove 240 is adapted to the male terminal body 310 so that the male terminal body 310 is placed in the receiving groove 240.

[0041] Furthermore, in one embodiment of this utility model, the receiving groove 240 is provided with an opening 241.

[0042] The male terminal 300 also includes a connecting buckle 340, which is disposed on the male terminal body 310 and is used to adjust the locking state of the male terminal 300 and the female terminal 400. The connecting buckle 340 is installed facing the opening 241.

[0043] For example, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the upper end of the receiving groove 240 is provided with an opening 241. When the insert block 320 is inserted into the insert groove 220 from top to bottom, the male terminal body 310 can be inserted into the receiving groove 240 through the opening 241. The receiving groove 240 can provide a certain degree of protection for the male terminal body 310. The connecting buckle 340 on the male terminal body 310 faces the opening 241. When inserting or removing the female terminal 400, the connecting buckle 340 needs to be pressed. Positioning the connecting buckle 340 towards the opening 241 facilitates assembly and maintenance operations for workers.

[0044] In one embodiment of this utility model, a wire-passing gap is formed between the male terminal body 310 and the bottom wall of the receiving groove 240. That is, when the insertion block 320 is inserted into place, there is a certain distance between the male terminal body 310 and the bottom of the receiving groove 240. This space is the wire-passing gap, which can accommodate the wire harness and improve neatness and aesthetics.

[0045] In one embodiment of the present invention, the insertion positioning structure 200 further includes a limiting groove 230, which is arranged along the insertion direction parallel to the insertion block 320 and the insertion groove 220.

[0046] The male terminal 300 further includes a limiting block 330, which is connected to the male terminal body 310 and is adapted to the limiting groove 230 so that the limiting block 330 can be limited to the limiting groove 230.

[0047] Furthermore, in one embodiment of the present invention, the positioning insertion structure further includes an elastic block 250, which is disposed on the side of the limiting groove 230 near the opening 241, so that the limiting block 330 can be squeezed and limited beyond the elastic block 250 into the limiting groove 230.

[0048] For example, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the insertion slot 220 is arranged vertically, and the limiting slot 230 is arranged horizontally. An elastic block 250 is also provided on the fixing frame 210. The elastic block 250 is located on the side of the limiting slot 230 near the opening 241, or in other words, the elastic block 250 is located between the limiting slot 230 and the initial insertion end of the insertion slot 220. During the insertion of the insertion block 320 into the insertion slot 220, the limiting block 330 on the male terminal body 310 can be pressed and limited beyond the elastic block 250 into the limiting slot 230. This prevents the insertion block 320 from accidentally falling off along the insertion direction, further reinforcing the connection reliability between the male terminal 300 and the fixing frame 210. When disassembly is required, the male terminal body 310 can be manually pulled outwards.

[0049] A second aspect of this utility model provides an air conditioner, including the indoor unit described above.

[0050] Furthermore, the air conditioner provided by this utility model, since it includes the indoor unit as described above, also possesses the advantages described above.

[0051] 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.
