Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of household appliance technology, and in particular to an air conditioner cabinet unit. Background Technology

[0002] The field of home appliance technology encompasses a wide range of product categories, including but not limited to refrigerators, washing machines, air conditioners, microwave ovens, dishwashers, and vacuum cleaners. The technological development trends for these products primarily focus on intelligentization, energy conservation and environmental protection, optimized user experience, and the application of new materials. Optimized user experience is achieved through design innovation and functional enhancement to meet consumers' demands for health, convenience, and personalization.

[0003] The air outlet of a floor-standing air conditioner is usually located on the front side of the casing, i.e., the front panel. Placing the display screen at the air outlet of the floor-standing air conditioner is not only at a suitable height, making it easier for users to observe and operate, but also makes the overall floor-standing air conditioner more aesthetically pleasing.

[0004] However, when the air conditioner is cooling, the cold air discharged from the air outlet of the unit mixes with the hot and humid air in the room, which easily causes condensation to form on the display screen located at the air outlet. The condensation adheres to the display screen, which not only affects the display effect, but also causes the touch area to be unresponsive or unresponsive, affecting the user experience. Utility Model Content

[0005] This application discloses an air conditioner cabinet unit that can reduce or even avoid condensation from forming or adhering to the surface of the display screen.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this application discloses an air conditioner cabinet unit, including: a housing, wherein the housing is provided with a housing air outlet;

[0007] A display component is disposed on the housing, the display component comprising:

[0008] The display screen housing is connected to the housing and is located at the bottom of the front side of the air outlet of the housing. The display screen housing has a front surface facing the front of the housing, an upper surface facing upward and a lower surface facing downward.

[0009] A display screen, disposed on the front surface, is used to display information and receive touch operations;

[0010] The display housing includes:

[0011] A first airflow channel is disposed on the front surface and spaced apart from the display screen. The two ends of the first airflow channel pass through the front surface and the lower surface, respectively, so as to guide the airflow sent out along the upper surface to the lower surface through the first airflow channel.

[0012] Thus, according to the wall-adhesion effect (the wall-adhesion effect refers to the phenomenon where fluid deviates from its original direction of motion and adheres to the surface when flowing over the outer surface of a curved object; this phenomenon is also a manifestation of the Coanda effect), when cold air is discharged from the air outlet of the casing, the portion of cold air at the bottom of the air outlet, i.e., the portion of cold air on the upper surface of the display casing, will adhere to the wall of the upper surface and preferentially enter the first guide channel, flowing from the first guide channel to the lower surface. The first guide channel is spaced apart from the display screen. This design allows cold air to reach the upper surface and then enter the lower surface through the first guide channel, reducing the amount of cold air in the area where the display screen is located on the front surface. This reduces, or even eliminates, condensation on the display screen surface, preventing condensation from adhering to the screen and affecting its display effect. It also prevents condensation from causing touch insensitivity or unresponsiveness when the user touches the display area, thus affecting the user experience. It is worth noting that the first guide channel can not only guide the flow of cold air, but also allow condensation on the front and upper surfaces to enter the first guide channel and flow down to the lower surface, preventing the condensation from flowing onto the surface of the display screen.

[0013] As an optional implementation, the display screen is located in the central region of the front surface;

[0014] There are multiple first guide channels, and the display screen is provided with first guide channels on both sides along the horizontal direction.

[0015] Thus, multiple first airflow channels can be arranged, either on one side of the display screen along the horizontal direction or on both sides. This allows cold air from both sides of the display screen to flow from the first airflow channels to the third surface, further reducing the amount of cold air flowing to the display screen surface and improving the airflow guiding effect of the first airflow channels. This prevents condensation from forming on the display screen surface due to the convergence of cold air and warm, humid air. Furthermore, the number of first airflow channels on both sides of the display screen can be the same, making the display assembly more aesthetically pleasing and ensuring similar airflow guiding effects on both sides.

[0016] As an alternative implementation, along the horizontal direction, the end of the first guide channel that penetrates the lower surface is farther away from the display screen than the end of the first guide channel that penetrates the upper surface.

[0017] In this way, the cold air discharged from the first guide channel can be discharged in a direction away from the display screen, which helps to prevent the cold air from reaching the area where the display screen is located. Moreover, this inclined setting can make the end of the first guide channel that penetrates the upper surface as close as possible to the middle area of ​​the upper surface, or even be located above the display screen, so as to guide the cold air in various parts of the upper surface and improve the guiding effect of the first guide channel on the cold air.

[0018] As an optional implementation, the first guide channel is an arc-shaped groove, and the bending direction of the first guide channel is towards the display screen.

[0019] In this way, the first guide channel can have a certain water storage function, which helps the condensed water droplets to evaporate in the first guide channel, further reducing the water droplets dripping downwards, keeping the surface of the casing dry, reducing noise, and improving the user experience.

[0020] As an optional implementation, the display component further includes:

[0021] A second flow guide groove is disposed on the front surface, and both ends of the second flow guide groove penetrate the lower surface. The display screen is located between the second flow guide groove and the lower edge of the front surface.

[0022] In this way, when condensation droplets above the display screen flow downwards under gravity, they can enter the second guide channel and, guided by the second guide channel, flow to the lower surface. This provides a layer of "protection" for the display screen, ensuring that most of the condensation generated on the front surface above the screen flows into the lower surface through the second guide channel, preventing condensation from flowing onto the display screen surface. This keeps the display screen dry, guaranteeing its display and touch performance. Condensation on the display surface prevents it from affecting touch sensitivity or even causing the screen to become unresponsive, thus impacting the user experience. The second guide channel can be a convex arc-shaped channel structure, facilitating the rapid flow of water to the lower surface and preventing water from overflowing from the second guide channel and flowing onto the display screen.

[0023] As an optional implementation, the second guide channel and the lower edge of the front surface form a first region, and the first guide channels are all located outside the first region.

[0024] Thus, placing the first airflow channel outside the first area can prevent the first airflow channel from intersecting with the second airflow channel, thus avoiding affecting the cold air guiding effect of the first airflow channel. It also prevents the first and second airflow channels from generating a large amount of condensation at their intersection, allowing the condensation to overflow from the channel and flow onto the display screen surface, keeping the display screen dry and ensuring its display and touch effects. This prevents condensation on the display screen surface from affecting the touch sensitivity of the display screen, or even causing the display screen to become unresponsive, thus affecting the user experience.

[0025] As an optional implementation, the bottom of both the first and second flow channels is covered with a hydrophilic material, and the surface of the display screen is covered with a hydrophobic material.

[0026] Thus, the surface properties of hydrophilic materials enable them to attract and retain moisture. Placing hydrophilic materials at the bottom of the first and second flow channels allows condensation to more easily enter either channel. Conversely, the weaker interaction between the surface of hydrophobic materials and water molecules causes water molecules to interact more readily with themselves, forming droplets rather than spreading across the material surface. This makes the display screen surface less prone to condensation, and even if condensation does reach the surface, it flows away quickly, keeping the display screen dry. The combined structure of the first and second flow channels, with their width and depth set to a specific aspect ratio, further contributes to this dryness. The cross-sections of the first and second flow channels can be either "V" or "U" shaped. Furthermore, the bottoms of the first and second flow channels are covered with hydrophilic materials to simulate the capillary effect (the process of liquid flowing in a narrow space, which can occur without any external force and can even be opposite to external forces such as gravity). This helps to store and guide condensation on the front surface, further preventing condensation from adhering to the display screen surface. This ensures the display and touch performance of the screen and prevents condensation from affecting the touch sensitivity of the screen or even causing the screen to become unresponsive, thus impacting the user experience.

[0027] As an optional implementation, the display component further includes:

[0028] A first extension section is disposed on the lower surface, and one end of the first extension section is connected to the first guide groove;

[0029] A second extension section is disposed on the lower surface, and one end of the second extension section is connected to the second guide groove.

[0030] In this way, when the condensation in the first and second guide channels moves downward, it does not drip directly from the lower edge of the front surface, but moves a distance along the first or second extension section towards the rear side of the casing (i.e., the rear side of the lower surface) before dripping downward. This avoids the user directly observing the water droplets falling and improves the user experience.

[0031] As an optional implementation, the display component further includes:

[0032] A water receiving plate is arranged around the outer periphery of the front side of the air outlet of the housing. The water receiving plate is vertically aligned with one end of the first guide groove that penetrates the lower surface. The bottom of the water receiving plate has a drainage hole, which is located close to the outer wall of the housing.

[0033] In this way, the condensate discharged from the first guide channel can be "caught" by the water receiving plate and flow from the drain hole to the outer wall of the casing. From the outer wall of the casing, it flows downward. The water flow formed by condensation is usually not very large, and the path along the outer wall of the casing is long. It can evaporate during this flow process, avoiding condensation dripping onto the ground, making the ground slippery, and affecting the user experience.

[0034] As an optional implementation, the air conditioner unit further includes:

[0035] A fresh air module is disposed within the housing, and the fresh air module has the following features:

[0036] Fresh air duct is used to introduce fresh outdoor air into the air outlet of the unit casing;

[0037] The display component further includes:

[0038] A water-receiving structure is disposed below the outer shell of the display screen. The water-receiving structure forms a water-receiving groove. One end of the first guide groove that penetrates the lower surface corresponds vertically to the opening of the water-receiving groove. The bottom of the water-receiving groove has a drain outlet, which is connected to the fresh air duct.

[0039] In this way, the water collection trough of the water-receiving structure can collect the condensation flowing downwards from the first guide channel and discharge it into the fresh air duct through the drain outlet. This allows the condensation to flow along the fresh air duct, preventing it from being directly observed by the user and improving the user experience. Furthermore, the fresh air duct introduces fresh air, generating airflow that allows the condensation flowing on the surface of the fresh air duct to evaporate more quickly, preventing water accumulation on the casing surface and thus avoiding any negative impact on the user experience.

[0040] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this application are:

[0041] The air conditioner cabinet unit provided in this application embodiment has a first air guide groove on the front surface of the display screen housing. The first air guide groove is spaced apart from the display screen and runs through the upper and lower surfaces of the display screen housing. By utilizing the wall-adhering effect of airflow, the cold air on the upper surface can reach the lower surface through the first air guide groove, reducing the amount of cold air flowing across the display screen surface. This avoids a large amount of cold air from mixing with the hot and humid indoor air on the display screen surface, reducing or even preventing condensation from forming on the display screen surface. This keeps the display screen dry, ensuring the display and touch effects of the display screen, and preventing condensation on the display screen surface from affecting the touch sensitivity of the display screen or even causing the display screen to become unresponsive, thus affecting the user experience.

Detailed Implementation

[0056] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0057] In this application, the terms "upper," "lower," "front," "top," "bottom," "inner," "outer," "vertical," and "horizontal," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. These terms are primarily for the purpose of better describing this application and its embodiments, and are not intended to limit the indicated device, element, or component to having a specific orientation, or to be constructed and operated in a specific orientation.

[0058] Furthermore, in addition to indicating location or positional relationship, some of the aforementioned terms may also have other meanings. For example, the term "above" may also be used in some cases to indicate a certain dependency or connection relationship. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of these terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0059] Furthermore, the terms "set up," "equipped with," and "connected" should be interpreted broadly.

[0061] The field of home appliance technology encompasses a wide range of product categories, including but not limited to refrigerators, washing machines, air conditioners, microwave ovens, dishwashers, and vacuum cleaners. The technological development trends for these products primarily focus on intelligentization, energy conservation and environmental protection, optimized user experience, and the application of new materials. Optimized user experience is achieved through design innovation and functional enhancement to meet consumers' demands for health, convenience, and personalization.

[0062] The air outlet of a floor-standing air conditioner is usually located on the front side of the casing, i.e., the front panel. Placing the display screen on the air outlet, specifically at the bottom front of the outlet, with the screen's casing in a crescent shape covering the bottom of the circular outlet, and the outlet's sealing plate rising from the bottom to block it, creates a "bright moon rising over the sea" aesthetic, significantly enhancing the overall appearance of the air conditioner. Furthermore, the screen's height in this position is ideal for user observation and operation.

[0063] However, when the air conditioner is cooling, the cold air discharged from the air outlet of the unit mixes with the hot and humid air in the room, which easily causes condensation to form on the display screen located at the air outlet. The condensation adheres to the display screen, which not only affects the display effect, but also causes touch insensitivity or unresponsiveness when the user touches the display area, affecting the user experience.

[0064] Based on this, this application discloses an air conditioner cabinet unit that can reduce or even avoid condensation on the surface of the display screen, prevent condensation from affecting the display effect, and improve the user experience.

[0065] The technical solution of this application will be further described below with reference to the embodiments and accompanying drawings.

[0066] Please see Figures 1 to 4 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the air conditioner cabinet unit 100 disclosed in the embodiments of this application. Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of a portion of the structure of the air conditioner unit 100 disclosed in this application embodiment. Figure 3 The embodiments disclosed in this application Figure 2 Enlarged structural diagram at point A in the middle. Figure 4This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the display component 20 disclosed in this application embodiment. This application embodiment discloses an air conditioner cabinet 100, which includes a housing 10 and a display component 20. The housing 10 is provided with a housing air outlet 101. The display component 20 is disposed on the housing 10 and includes: a display screen housing 21 and a display screen 22. The display screen housing 21 is connected to the housing 10 and is located at the bottom of the front side of the housing air outlet 101. The display screen housing 21 has a front surface 201 facing the front of the housing 10, an upper surface 202 facing upward, and a lower surface 203 facing downward. The display screen 22 is disposed on the front surface 201 and is used to display information and receive touch operations. The display screen housing 21 includes a first guide channel 211, which is disposed on the front surface 201 and spaced apart from the display screen 22. The two ends of the first guide channel 211 pass through the front surface 201 and the lower surface 203 respectively, so as to guide the airflow sent out along the upper surface 202 to the lower surface 203 through the first guide channel 211.

[0067] Combination Figure 1 The air conditioner cabinet 100 includes a housing 10, which is provided with a housing air inlet and a housing air outlet 101, and a housing accommodating cavity is formed inside the housing 10.

[0068] In some embodiments, a heat exchanger is provided in the housing 10 cavity. The heat exchanger is used to exchange heat with the airflow flowing through the air inlet of the housing. When the air conditioner is cooling, the low-temperature refrigerant flowing in the heat exchanger absorbs the heat in the airflow and cools the air. When heating, the high-temperature refrigerant releases heat to the airflow and warms the air.

[0069] Combination Figure 2 In some embodiments, the housing 10 may include a front panel 102, and the housing air outlet 101 may be disposed on the front side of the housing 10, i.e., disposed on the front panel 102. The housing air outlet 101 extends through the inner and outer spaces of the housing 10, the rear side of the housing air outlet 101 is connected to the air duct, and the front side of the housing air outlet 101 is connected to the interior. Hot air, cold air, or fresh air can be discharged into the interior through the housing air outlet 101 to treat the indoor air and improve the comfort of the indoor space.

[0070] Combination Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, the display component 20 is located at the bottom of the front side of the air outlet 101 of the housing. Placing the display component 20 in this position can greatly improve the aesthetics of the air conditioner 100 and make the air conditioner 100 more popular with users.

[0071] Combination Figure 3 and Figure 4In some embodiments, the display screen 22 assembly includes a display screen housing 21 and a display screen 22. The display screen housing 21 may be approximately one-fifth of a circle, i.e., a crescent shape. The display screen 22 is disposed on the front side of the display screen housing 21. The display screen 22 can display various information of the air conditioner unit 100 and receive touch operations to control the air conditioner unit 100.

[0072] Combination Figure 4 In some embodiments, the first guide channel 211 is a channel body that may have a certain depth, so that airflow and liquid can flow within the first guide channel 211.

[0073] In some embodiments, the outgoing airflow along the upper surface 202 is an airflow that flows along the upper surface 202 and is delivered from the housing air outlet 101.

[0074] Combination Figure 4In some embodiments, the display housing 21 includes a front surface 201, a lower surface 203, and an upper surface 202. The upper surface 202 can be a plane, and the lower surface 203 can be an arc-shaped surface. The lower surface 203 can be adapted to the shape of the air outlet 101 of the housing. The front surface 201 can be arc-shaped (a shape composed of a chord and its corresponding arc is called an arc). The display screen 22 is disposed on the front surface 201 of the display housing 21. A first air guide groove 211 is also provided on the front surface 201 of the display housing 21. The upper end of the first air guide groove 211 penetrates the upper surface 202, and the lower end penetrates the lower surface 203. Since the two ends of the first air guide groove 211 are connected to the upper surface 202 and the lower surface 203 respectively, air at the upper surface 202 can enter the lower surface 203 through the first air guide groove 211. According to the wall-adhesion effect (the wall-adhesion effect refers to the phenomenon that when a fluid flows over the outer surface of a curved object, it deviates from its original direction of motion and adheres to that surface. This phenomenon is also a manifestation of the Coanda effect), when cold air is discharged from the air outlet 101 of the housing, the portion of cold air at the bottom of the air outlet 101, that is, the portion of cold air on the upper surface 202 of the display screen housing 21, will adhere to the wall of the upper surface 202 and preferentially enter the first guide channel 211, flowing from the first guide channel 211 to the lower surface 203. The first airflow channel 211 is spaced apart from the display screen 22. This design allows cold air to reach the upper surface 202 and then flow into the lower surface 203 via the first airflow channel 211. This reduces the amount of cold air in the area of ​​the display screen 22 on the front surface 201, thereby reducing or even preventing condensation on the surface of the display screen 22. Condensation on the display screen 22 is prevented from affecting its display performance and causing touch sensitivity issues or unresponsiveness when the user touches the display area, thus impacting the user experience. It is worth noting that the first airflow channel 211 not only guides cold air, but also allows condensation on the front surface 201 and upper surface 202 to flow into it and down to the lower surface 203, preventing condensation from reaching the surface of the display screen 22.

[0075] According to the embodiment of the present utility model, the air conditioner cabinet 100 has a first air guide groove 211 on the front surface 201 of the display screen housing 21. The first air guide groove 211 is spaced apart from the display screen 22 and penetrates the upper surface 202 and the lower surface 203 of the display screen housing 21. By utilizing the wall-adhering effect of airflow, the cold air at the upper surface 202 can reach the lower surface 203 through the first air guide groove 211, reducing the amount of cold air flowing across the surface of the display screen 22. This avoids a large amount of cold air from mixing with the indoor humid and hot air on the surface of the display screen 22, reducing or even preventing condensation from forming on the surface of the display screen 22. This keeps the display screen 22 dry, ensuring the display and touch effects of the display screen 22, and preventing condensation on the surface of the display screen 22 from affecting the touch sensitivity of the display screen 22, or even causing the display screen 22 to become unresponsive, thus affecting the user experience.

[0076] Combination Figure 4 In some embodiments, the display screen 22 is located in the middle region of the front surface 201; there are multiple first guide grooves 211, and the display screen 22 is provided with first guide grooves 211 on both sides along the horizontal direction.

[0077] Specifically, the display screen 22 can be located at any position on the front surface 201, or it can be set in the middle area of ​​the front surface 201. The center of the display screen 22 can be located at the middle of the horizontal direction and the middle of the vertical direction of the front surface 201, which can make room for the setting of the first air guide groove 211, so that the first air guide groove 211 can be set on both sides of the display screen 22 along the horizontal direction. There can be multiple first air guide grooves 211, which can be set on one side of the display screen 22 along the horizontal direction or on both sides of the display screen 22. This allows the cold air on both sides of the display screen 22 to flow from the first air guide groove 211 to the third surface, further reducing the amount of cold air flowing to the surface of the display screen 22, improving the air guiding effect of the first air guide groove 211, and preventing the cold air from condensing on the surface of the display screen 22 due to the convergence of indoor humid and hot air. In addition, the number of first air guide grooves 211 on both sides of the display screen 22 along the horizontal direction can be the same, making the display screen 22 assembly more aesthetically pleasing and also making the air guiding effect on both sides similar. Specifically, there can be 6 first guide channels 211, with 3 on each side of the display screen 22 along the horizontal direction.

[0078] Combination Figure 4 In some embodiments, along the horizontal direction, the end of the first guide groove 211 that penetrates the lower surface 203 is farther away from the display screen 22 than the end of the first guide groove 211 that penetrates the upper surface 202.

[0079] Specifically, the ends of the first guide channel 211 that penetrate the lower surface 203 and the upper surface 202 are not limited. The end penetrating the lower surface 203 can be closer to the display screen 22, or the ends penetrating the lower surface 203 and the upper surface 202 can be on the same vertical line, or the end penetrating the lower surface 203 can be farther away from the display screen 22. In this embodiment, the end of the first guide channel 211 penetrating the lower surface 203 is farther from the display screen 22 than the end penetrating the upper surface 202. This allows the cold air discharged from the first guide channel 211 to be discharged away from the display screen 22, which helps prevent the cold air from reaching the area where the display screen 22 is located. Moreover, this inclined arrangement allows the end of the first guide channel 211 penetrating the upper surface 202 to be as close as possible to the middle area of ​​the upper surface 202, or even located above the display screen 22, which can guide the cold air from various parts of the upper surface 202, improving the cold air guiding effect of the first guide channel 211.

[0080] Combination Figure 4 In some embodiments, the first guide groove 211 is an arc-shaped groove, and the bending direction of the first guide groove 211 is towards the display screen 22.

[0081] Specifically, the first guide channel 211 can be straight or curved. A curved design increases the length of the first guide channel 211. When condensation forms within the first guide channel 211, the condensation flows within it, and the longer flow path facilitates evaporation, reducing downward dripping water droplets. The curvature of the first guide channel 211 can be opposite to or towards the display screen 22. If the curvature is towards the display screen 22, and its lower end is further away from the display screen 22 than its upper end, the first guide channel 211 can have a certain water storage function, further aiding in the evaporation of condensation droplets and reducing downward dripping water droplets. This keeps the surface of the casing 10 dry, reduces noise, and improves the user experience.

[0082] Combination Figure 4 In some embodiments, the display component 20 further includes a second guide channel 212, which is disposed on the front surface 201. Both ends of the second guide channel 212 penetrate the lower surface 203, and the display screen 22 is located between the second guide channel 212 and the lower edge of the front surface 201.

[0083] Specifically, a first guide channel 211 can be provided only on the first surface, and a second guide channel 212 can be added to the front surface 201. Both ends of the second guide channel 212 penetrate the lower surface 203, and the second guide channel 212 is arranged around the top of the display screen 22 and on both sides in the horizontal direction (the display screen 22 is located between the second guide channel 212 and the lower edge of the front surface 201). When condensation forms on the front surface 201, the condensed water droplets above the display screen 22 can enter the second guide channel 212 when flowing downward under the action of gravity. The water flows downwards to the lower surface 203 under the guidance of the second guide channel 212, providing a layer of "protection" for the display screen 22. This ensures that most of the condensation generated on the front surface 201 above the display screen 22 enters the lower surface 203 through the second guide channel 212, preventing condensation from flowing onto the surface of the display screen 22. This keeps the display screen 22 dry, ensuring its display and touch performance. Condensation on the display screen 22 surface prevents it from affecting touch sensitivity or even causing it to become unresponsive, thus impacting the user experience. The second guide channel 212 can be a convex arc-shaped channel structure, facilitating rapid water flow to the lower surface 203 and preventing water from overflowing from the second guide channel 212 and flowing onto the display screen 22.

[0084] Combination Figure 4 In some embodiments, the second guide groove 212 and the lower edge of the front surface 201 form a first region 2011, and the first guide groove 211 is located outside the first region 2011.

[0085] Specifically, since both ends of the second guide channel 212 penetrate the lower surface 203, its entirety can form a first region 2011 (e.g., the front surface 201 and the lower edge of the front surface 201) Figure 4 As shown, the display screen 22 is disposed within the first region 2011, while the first air guide channel 211 can be disposed within or outside the first region 2011. Disposing the first air guide channel 211 outside the first region 2011 can prevent the first air guide channel 211 from intersecting with the second air guide channel 212, thus avoiding affecting the cold air guiding effect of the first air guide channel 211. It also prevents a large amount of condensation from forming at the intersection of the first air guide channel 211 and the second air guide channel 212, allowing the condensation to overflow from the channel and flow onto the surface of the display screen 22. This keeps the display screen 22 dry, ensuring its display and touch effects. Condensation on the surface of the display screen 22 can also prevent it from affecting the touch sensitivity of the display screen 22 or even causing the display screen 22 to become unresponsive, thus impacting the user experience.

[0086] Combination Figure 4 In some embodiments, the bottom of the first flow channel 211 and the bottom of the second flow channel 212 are both covered with a hydrophilic material, and the surface of the display screen 22 is covered with a hydrophobic material.

[0087] Specifically, the bottom of the first flow channel 211, the bottom of the second flow channel 212, and the surface of the display screen 22 may not be coated. Alternatively, a hydrophilic material can be applied to the bottom of the first flow channel 211 and the bottom of the second flow channel 212, while a hydrophobic material can be applied to the surface of the display screen 22. The surface properties of hydrophilic materials allow them to attract and retain moisture. Applying hydrophilic materials to the bottom of the first flow channel 211 and the second flow channel 212 makes it easier for condensation to enter the first flow channel 211 or the second flow channel 212, enhancing the flow guiding effect of the first flow channel 211 and the second flow channel 212. The weaker interaction between the surface of the hydrophobic material and water molecules causes water molecules to interact more with themselves, forming droplets rather than spreading on the material surface. This makes it less likely for condensation to adhere to the surface of the display screen 22. Even if condensation reaches the surface of the display screen 22, it can flow away quickly, keeping the display screen 22 dry.

[0088] Combination Figure 4 In some embodiments, the combined structure of the first guide channel 211 and the second guide channel 212 is used to set the width and depth of the first guide channel 211 and the second guide channel 212, which have a certain aspect ratio. The cross-section of the first guide channel 211 and the second guide channel 212 can be "V" shaped or "U" shaped, which can simulate the capillary effect (the process of liquid flowing in a narrow space, which can occur without any external force, and can even be opposite to external forces such as gravity), to store and guide the condensation on the front surface 201, further avoiding condensation adhering to the surface of the display screen 22, ensuring the display effect and touch effect of the display screen 22, and preventing condensation on the surface of the display screen 22 from affecting the touch sensitivity of the display screen 22, or even causing the display screen 22 to become unresponsive, thus affecting the user experience.

[0089] Combination Figure 5 , Figure 5 This is a bottom view of the display component 20 disclosed in an embodiment of this application. In some embodiments, the display component 20 further includes a first extension 25 and a second extension 26. The first extension 25 is disposed on the lower surface 203, and one end of the first extension 25 is connected to the first guide groove 211. The second extension 26 is disposed on the lower surface 203, and one end of the second extension 26 is connected to the second guide groove 212.

[0090] Specifically, the first extension segment 25 is an extension of the first guide channel 211, extending the first guide channel 211 onto the lower surface 203. The second extension segment 26 is an extension of the second guide channel 212, extending the second guide channel 212 onto the lower surface 203. The first extension segment 25 and the second extension segment 26 can be omitted, or they can be included. This ensures that when the condensate in the first guide channel 211 and the second guide channel 212 moves downwards, it does not drip directly from the lower edge of the front surface 201. Instead, it moves a distance along the first extension segment 25 or the second extension segment 26 towards the rear side of the casing 10 (i.e., the rear side of the lower surface 203) before dripping downwards. This avoids the user directly observing the water droplets falling, improving the user experience.

[0091] Combination Figure 6 and Figure 7 , Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of a portion of the structure of another air conditioner cabinet unit 100 disclosed in an embodiment of this application. Figure 7 The embodiments disclosed in this application Figure 6 Enlarged structural diagram at point B. In some embodiments, the display component 20 further includes a water receiving plate 23, which is disposed around the outer periphery of the front side of the air outlet 101 of the housing. The first guide groove 211 and the end of the water receiving plate 23 that penetrates the lower surface 203 are vertically aligned. The bottom of the water receiving plate 23 has a drainage hole 231, which is disposed close to the outer wall of the housing 10.

[0092] Specifically, the water collection plate 23 can be omitted, allowing the condensation to drip directly onto the ground. Alternatively, a water collection plate 23 can be installed. The water collection plate 23 can be a ring-shaped plate, fitted around the outer periphery of the front side of the air outlet 101 of the casing. This allows the end of the first guide channel 211 that connects to the lower surface 203 to align vertically with the water collection plate 23, ensuring that the condensate discharged from the first guide channel 211 is "caught" by the water collection plate 23 and flows through the drain hole 231 to the outer wall of the casing 10. From there, it flows downwards. The condensate flow is usually not large, and the path along the outer wall of the casing 10 is long, allowing it to evaporate during this flow (in normal user homes, indoor humidity drops quickly with cooling and dehumidification, resulting in less condensation. In addition, the front panel 102 is relatively long, exceeding 1.2m, so small water droplets will spread out on the surface of the front panel 102 and disappear during the descent). This prevents condensation from dripping onto the ground, making the floor slippery and affecting the user experience.

[0093] Combination Figures 8 to 11 , Figure 8 This is a partial structural schematic diagram of another air conditioner cabinet unit 100 disclosed in an embodiment of this application. Figure 9This is a cross-sectional structural diagram of a partial structure of another air conditioner cabinet unit 100 disclosed in an embodiment of this application. Figure 10 The embodiments disclosed in this application Figure 9 A magnified structural diagram at point C. Figure 11 This is a schematic diagram of the water-collecting structure 24 disclosed in an embodiment of this application. In some embodiments, the air conditioner cabinet 100 further includes a fresh air module 30, which is disposed inside the housing 10. The fresh air module 30 has a fresh air duct 31 for introducing outdoor fresh air to the air outlet 101 of the housing. The display component 20 also includes a water-collecting structure 24, which is disposed below the display screen housing 21. The water-collecting structure 24 forms a water-collecting groove 241. One end of the first guide groove 211 that communicates with the lower surface 203 corresponds vertically to the opening of the water-collecting groove 241. The bottom of the water-collecting groove 241 has a drain outlet 242, which is connected to the fresh air duct 31.

[0094] Specifically, the fresh air module 30 may include components such as a fresh air volute, a fresh air impeller, a fresh air duct 31, and a drive motor. The drive motor drives the fresh air impeller to rotate, and the impeller is located in the fresh air volute. The rotation of the fresh air impeller provides power to the air in the fresh air duct 31, drawing air from the outside to the inside. Condensate can be discharged directly to the ground or into the fresh air duct 31. In this embodiment, a water receiving structure 24 is also provided. The water receiving groove 241 of the water receiving structure 24 can collect the condensate flowing downward from the first guide groove 211 and discharge it into the fresh air duct 31 through the drain outlet 242. This allows the condensate to flow along the fresh air duct 31, preventing it from being directly observed by the user and improving the user experience. Moreover, the fresh air duct 31 can introduce fresh air, generating airflow, which allows the condensate flowing on the surface of the fresh air duct 31 to evaporate more quickly, preventing a large amount of condensate from flowing on the surface of the casing 10 and affecting the user experience.

[0095] It is worth noting that whether the condensate is guided by the water receiving plate 23 or by the water receiving structure 24, it not only guides the water droplets flowing out of the first guide channel 211, but also guides the water droplets dripping from the second guide channel 212, the first extension section 25 and the second extension section 26.

Although this application 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 or all of the technical features therein.
