Therefore, this application is not intended to be limited to the embodiments shown, but is consistent with the broadest scope of the principles and features disclosed in this application.

[0025] This application provides an air conditioner indoor unit to solve the problem of difficulty in pulling out the integrated panel and filter. The following description will be provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0026] In the embodiments of this application, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 as well as Figure 4 As shown, the indoor unit of the air conditioner includes: The housing 1 is provided with a slide 16 and a clearance opening 15 that are connected to each other. The clearance opening 15 is located on the front of the housing 1. The filter screen is slidably disposed within the slide rail 16; and, Baffle 2 is connected to the filter screen and located at the clearance opening 15. Baffle 2 is snapped into the housing 1. The indoor unit of the air conditioner also includes a disassembly button 3. The disassembly button 3 is slidably connected to the housing 1 along the moving direction of the baffle 2. One end of the disassembly button 3 is located outside the housing 1, and the other end of the disassembly button 3 abuts against the baffle 2.

[0027] It should be noted that the front of housing 1 refers to the side of housing 1 facing the user. The baffle 2 is fixedly connected to the filter screen. Pulling the baffle 2 downward will pull the filter screen out from the relief opening 15.

[0028] Understandably, by providing a sliding disassembly button 3 on the housing 1, pressing down the disassembly button 3 releases the latch between the baffle 2 and the housing 1, allowing the baffle 2 to be removed from the housing 1. This makes it easier for the user to grasp the baffle 2 and pull the filter screen out of the clearance opening 15. This solves the problem in related technologies where it is difficult to find a position on the panel 12 to fix a hand when the filter screen and panel 12 are integrated, thus solving the technical problem of difficulty in disassembling the integrated filter screen and panel 12.

[0029] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 , Figure 5 as well as Figure 6 As shown, the baffle 2 includes a decorative part 21 and a limiting part 22. The limiting part 22 is connected to the back of the decorative part 21. The decorative part 21 is used to cover the clearance opening 15. The housing 1 is provided with a limiting groove 111. The limiting part 22 is inserted into the limiting groove 111 from bottom to top.

[0030] It should be noted that the limiting part 22 is engaged into the limiting groove 111 from bottom to top, and correspondingly, the limiting part 22 is disengaged from the limiting groove 111 from top to bottom.

[0031] It is understandable that the decorative part 21 is used to cover the clearance opening 15 to prevent foreign objects and dust from entering the housing 1 through the clearance opening 15. At the same time, the decorative part 21 can also cover the limiting part 22 to improve the appearance of the air conditioner indoor unit.

[0032] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 as well as Figure 5 As shown, the decorative part 21 is provided with two limiting parts 22, which are located near the two ends of the decorative part 21 in the length direction. Correspondingly, there are two limiting grooves 111. The disassembly key 3 is provided on the left and right sides of the housing 1, and there are two sliding grooves 112 corresponding to the disassembly key 3.

[0033] Understandably, when disassembling the baffle 2, holding the disassembly buttons 3 on both sides with both hands and pressing them down will cause both ends of the baffle 2 to detach from the housing 1 simultaneously, resulting in a more efficient disassembly and preventing one end of the baffle 2 from getting stuck, thus limiting the possibility of the baffle 2 not being completely removed at once.

[0034] In some embodiments, such as Figure 6 , Figure 7 as well as Figure 8 As shown, the disassembly key 3 is slidably connected to one end of the housing 1 along its length. One end of the disassembly key 3 is embedded in the clearance opening 15 and is located on the upper side of one end of the decorative part 21 along its length.

[0035] It is understandable that when the indoor unit of the air conditioner is installed in a normal posture, its length direction is approximately horizontal, and the disassembly button 3 is located on either the left or right side of the housing 1, which does not affect the aesthetics of the indoor unit of the air conditioner and also enables the setting of the disassembly button 3.

[0036] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 , Figure 5 as well as Figure 6 As shown, the housing 1 is provided with a sliding groove 112 extending along the direction of gravity. The disassembly key 3 is slidably connected in the sliding groove 112. Along the direction of gravity, the lower end of the sliding groove 112 is lower than the opening of the limiting groove 111.

[0037] It is understandable that the baffle 2 is disassembled by using its own gravity to assist the disassembly key 3, so that the limiting part 22 can quickly release the jamming state with the limiting groove 111, thereby improving the disassembly efficiency.

[0038] In some embodiments, such as Figure 9 , Figure 10 , Figure 11 as well as Figure 12 As shown, a buckle 212 is provided on the lower side of the decorative part 21, and a slot 1311 is provided on the housing 1. The slot 1311 is used for the buckle 212 to be inserted from bottom to top.

[0039] Understandably, the snap-fit ​​direction of the buckle 212 is consistent with the snap-fit ​​direction of the limiting part 22, and the release key 3 can release the connection of all snap-fit ​​parts at once. By using the buckle 212 to limit the decorative part 21, the installation reliability of the baffle 2 is improved, the fixing pressure borne by the limiting part 22 is reduced, and the baffle 2 is prevented from falling off under gravity when the limiting part 22 fails to snap into the limiting groove 111.

[0040] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 as well as Figure 6 As shown, the housing 1 includes a main frame 11, a panel 12, and a crossbeam 13. The two ends of the crossbeam 13 are connected to the main frame 11 and enclose at least part of the main frame 11 to form an air outlet 14. The panel 12 is located above the air outlet 14 and is connected to the front of the main frame 11. The panel 12 and the crossbeam 13 are spaced apart to form a clearance opening 15. The front of the crossbeam 13 is provided with a connecting part 131, and the lower side of the connecting part 131 is provided with a slot 1311.

[0041] It should be noted that the panel 12 is spaced in front of the crossbeam 13, thus forming a clearance opening 15.

[0042] It is understandable that by providing a connecting part 131 on the crossbeam 13, the lower side of the decorative part 21 is fixed, which seals the lower side of the crossbeam 13 and the baffle 2, preventing the airflow from the air outlet 14 from entering the clearance opening 15 from the lower side of the crossbeam 13 and the baffle 2.

[0043] In some embodiments, such as Figure 10 as well as Figure 11 As shown, a plug-in portion 23 is provided on the upper side of the decorative portion 21. The plug-in portion 23 is used to insert into the clearance opening 15. The side of the plug-in portion 23 facing the front of the housing 1 and the upper side of the decorative portion 21 respectively fit against the side wall of the clearance opening 15 and the opening end of the clearance opening 15.

[0044] Understandably, the side of the insertion part 23 facing the front of the housing 1 forms a stepped surface with the upper side of the decorative part 21, improving the sealing between the baffle 2 and the housing 1 and enhancing the aesthetic appearance. Furthermore, the insertion part 23 into the relief opening 15 improves the fit between the baffle 2 and the housing 1, enhancing assembly stability.

[0045] In some embodiments, such as Figure 9 as well as Figure 12 As shown, the insertion part 23 is provided with a transition surface 231. The transition surface 231 is close to the upper side of the insertion part 23. Along the direction in which the insertion part 23 is inserted into the relief opening 15, the distance between the transition surface 231 and the side wall of the opposite relief opening 15 gradually increases.

[0046] It is understandable that the transition surface 231 reduces the difficulty of aligning the plug part 23 with the clearance opening 15, making it easier for the plug part 23 to be quickly inserted into the clearance opening 15.

[0047] In some embodiments, such as Figure 9 as well as Figure 12 As shown, a dust collection groove 211 is provided on the upper side of the decorative part 21, and the dust collection groove 211 is arranged around the insertion part 23.

[0048] It should be noted that the insertion part 23 does not completely cover the upper surface of the decorative part 21.

[0049] It is understandable that since there are inevitably gaps between the baffle 2 and the housing 1 due to the parts, there are also gaps between the upper surface of the decorative part 21 and the opening end of the clearance 15. The dust collection groove 211 is used to collect the dust in the gaps to avoid dust accumulation and increase the difficulty of disassembling the baffle 2.

[0050] This application also provides an air conditioner, which includes the aforementioned indoor unit. The specific structure of the indoor unit is as described in the above embodiments. Since this air conditioner adopts all the technical solutions of all the above embodiments, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought about by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be elaborated here.
