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.

[0032] The following is combined with Figures 1 to 8 This invention describes a cabinet-type air conditioner indoor unit and a cabinet-type air conditioner according to embodiments 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.

[0033] An embodiment of the first aspect of this utility model provides a cabinet-type air conditioner indoor unit, such as... Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, it includes: a housing 100; a front panel 200 connected to the housing 100; a lower panel 300 connected to the housing 100 and mating with the lower side of the front panel 200, wherein a decorative section 310 is formed on one edge of the lower panel 300 near the front panel 200; and a trim strip 400 continuously surrounding and connecting to the edge of the front panel 200 away from the decorative section 310, wherein the trim strip 400 mats with the end of the decorative section 310 to form an annular decorative protrusion.

[0034] The cabinet-type air conditioner indoor unit provided by this utility model includes a housing 100, a front panel 200, a lower panel 300, and a decorative strip 400. For example, an opening is formed on the front side of the housing 100, the front panel 200 is installed at the upper part of the opening, and the lower panel 300 is installed at the lower part of the opening. The lower panel 300 is attached to the lower side of the front panel 200. A decorative section 310 is formed on the edge of the lower panel 300 near the upper panel. The decorative strip 400 can be continuously extended to the other edges of the front panel 200 away from the decorative section 310, and is attached to the decorative section 310 to form an annular decorative protrusion.

[0035] As described above, by employing a continuous decorative strip 400 structure surrounding the edge of the front panel 200 and interlocking with the decorative segment 310 on the lower panel 300, an overall circular decorative protrusion is formed. This design effectively replaces the traditional multi-segment splicing decorative strip 400 scheme. On the one hand, it significantly reduces the number of segments and splicing seams of the decorative strip 400, reduces assembly complexity, and improves production and assembly efficiency. On the other hand, the cooperation between the continuous decorative strip 400 structure and the decorative segment 310 effectively avoids the common problem of gaps in multi-segment splicing, enhances the integrity and visual continuity of the decorative surface, and improves the product's appearance quality and aesthetics.

[0036] In one embodiment of the present invention, the front panel 200 includes: a square ring plate 210 connected to the housing 100; a lower panel 300 abutting to the lower side of the square ring plate 210; and a trim strip 400 continuously surrounding and connecting to the outer ring edge of the square ring plate 210 away from the trim section 310.

[0037] Furthermore, in one embodiment of the present invention, the decorative strip 400 includes: a U-shaped strip 410, which is placed upside down on the outer ring edge of the square ring plate 210, and the end of the U-shaped strip 410 is connected to the end of the decorative section 310.

[0038] For example, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown and Figure 7 The front of the casing 100 has a rectangular opening. The front panel 200 is a square ring plate 210. The inner ring area of ​​the square ring plate 210 is the air outlet. A U-shaped strip 410 is inverted and connected to the outer ring edge of the square ring plate 210. Specifically, the U-shaped strip 410 is inverted and connected to the upper edge and left and right side edges of the square ring plate 210. The lower panel 300 has an approximately square structure, and a decorative section 310 is formed on the upper edge of the square structure. The decorative section 310 is adapted to the U-shaped strip 410. After the lower panel 300 is assembled, the two ends of the decorative section 310 can smoothly connect to the two ends of the lower opening of the U-shaped strip 410. Thus, the U-shaped strip 410 and the decorative section 310 can connect with each other to form a ring-shaped decorative protrusion.

[0039] By inverting continuous U-shaped decorative strips 400 along the outer edge of the square ring plate 210 and smoothly connecting them with the decorative segment 310 on the upper edge of the lower panel 300, a complete ring-shaped decorative protrusion structure is formed. This design achieves the following technical effects: First, it simplifies the structure and improves assembly convenience: the U-shaped strips 410 continuously surround the upper edge and left and right sides of the square ring plate 210, replacing the traditional multi-segment spliced ​​decorative strips 400, significantly reducing the number of parts and seams, simplifying the assembly process, improving production efficiency, and reducing installation difficulties caused by multi-segment alignment errors. Second, it enhances the overall appearance and aesthetics: the U-shaped strips 410 and the decorative segment 310 smoothly transition at the joint, forming a seamless ring-shaped decorative protrusion, effectively avoiding the gap problem common in multi-segment spliced ​​structures, improving the visual integrity of the product's front, and enhancing the appearance's refinement and high-end feel. In addition, the structural adaptability and reliability of the fit are improved: the inverted connection design of the U-shaped strip 410 is compatible with the shape of the decorative section 310 of the lower panel 300, and the ends are naturally connected after assembly. This not only strengthens the structural continuity between the trim strip 400 and the panel, but also helps to improve the stability and durability of the overall structure.

[0040] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the trim strip 400 also includes a connecting segment 420, which is connected between the two ends of the U-shaped strip 410.

[0041] By inverting a continuous U-shaped decorative strip 400 along the outer edge of the square ring plate 210 on the front panel 200, and adding a connecting section 420 between the two ends of the lower opening, and then smoothly connecting it with the decorative section 310 of the lower panel 300, a complete annular decorative protrusion is formed. This design achieves multiple technical benefits: First, it significantly improves the structural strength and shape stability of the U-shaped strip 410. The connecting section 420 effectively resists deformation or collapse caused by the large size and insufficient rigidity of the U-shaped strip 410, ensuring its integrity during production, transportation, and assembly. Second, while ensuring strength, it further simplifies the overall structure and assembly process. Replacing the traditional multi-segment spliced ​​decorative strip 400 with a single continuous U-shaped strip 410 and connecting section 420 not only reduces the number of parts and splicing seams, but also avoids multi-segment alignment errors, improving assembly efficiency and accuracy. Ultimately, this structure effectively ensures the integrity and aesthetics of the appearance. The connecting section 420 makes the connection between the U-shaped strip 410 and the decorative section 310 more precise and smooth, completely eliminating the problem of gaps that are difficult to avoid in traditional multi-segment splicing, forming a seamless ring-shaped decorative appearance, which greatly enhances the visual sophistication and high-end quality of the product.

[0042] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 5 , Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, the connecting segment 420 is disposed on the back side of the square ring plate 210. That is, the connecting segment 420 can be hidden on the back side of the square ring plate 210.

[0043] As described above, the connecting section 420 is hidden on the back of the square ring plate 210, making any reinforcing structure completely invisible from the front and side views of the product. The U-shaped strip 410 and the decorative section 310 are presented as a seamlessly connected ring-shaped decorative protrusion, completely eliminating the negative impact on aesthetics caused by the addition of a reinforcing structure. The hidden design of the connecting section 420 provides effective internal support for the larger and less rigid U-shaped strip 410 without the user's awareness, significantly enhancing its resistance to deformation and overall shape stability. This ensures structural reliability during processing, assembly, and use, perfectly resolving the contradiction between strength and aesthetics in large-sized decorative strips 400.

[0044] In one embodiment of the present invention, the indoor unit of the air conditioner further includes: a first positioning connection structure 500, which is disposed between the lower panel 300 and the connecting section 420.

[0045] Furthermore, in one embodiment of this utility model, the indoor unit of the air conditioner also includes: a second positioning connection structure 600, which is disposed between the square ring plate 210 and the decorative strip 400.

[0046] For example, such as Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the first positioning connection structure 500 includes a first positioning slot 510 and a first positioning hook 520. For example, the first positioning slot 510 is a closed square slot. The first positioning slot 510 is disposed on the connecting section 420, and the first positioning hook 520 is disposed at a corresponding position on the bottom plate 300. The first positioning hook 520 can be engaged into the first positioning slot 510.

[0047] The second positioning connection structure 600 includes a second positioning slot 610 and a second positioning hook 620. For example, the second positioning slot 610 is a square slot with an opening at its lower end. The second positioning slot 610 is formed on the trim strip 400, and the second positioning hook 620 is positioned at a corresponding location on the square ring plate 210. The second positioning hook 620 can engage with the second positioning slot 610 through its opening.

[0048] By setting up the first positioning connection structure 500 and the second positioning connection structure 600, the assembly accuracy and connection reliability are significantly improved.

[0049] In one embodiment of the present invention, the trim strip 400 further includes a plurality of reinforcing ribs 700, each reinforcing rib 700 being spaced apart and arranged on the inner side of the U-shaped strip 410.

[0050] Furthermore, in one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 4 As shown, the reinforcing rib 700 includes: a T-shaped rib, which is arranged on the inside of the U-shaped strip 410.

[0051] By setting multiple T-shaped ribs at intervals on the inner side of the U-shaped strip 410, the bending and torsional deformation resistance of the trim strip 400 is significantly improved. This not only effectively prevents deformation that may occur during production, transportation, and installation due to the large size and insufficient rigidity of the trim strip 400, ensuring the dimensional stability and assembly accuracy of the trim strip 400, but also further consolidates the long-term flatness of its connection with the decorative section 310 by suppressing the slight deformation of the trim strip 400 caused by vibration or stress relaxation during use. This eliminates the risk of the recurrence of seams due to deformation of the trim strip 400 from the structural source, ensuring the lasting beauty of the annular decorative protrusion.

[0052] A second aspect of this utility model provides a cabinet air conditioner, including the cabinet air conditioner indoor unit as described above.

[0053] Furthermore, the cabinet air conditioner provided by this utility model, since it includes the cabinet air conditioner indoor unit as described above, also possesses the advantages described above.

[0054] 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.
