[0025] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0026] The following disclosure provides numerous different embodiments or examples for implementing various structures of the present invention. To simplify the disclosure, specific examples of components and arrangements are described below. These are merely examples and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention. Furthermore, reference numerals and / or letters may be repeated in different examples. Such repetition is for simplification and clarity and does not in itself indicate a relationship between the various embodiments and / or arrangements discussed. In addition, examples of various specific processes and materials are provided in this invention; however, those skilled in the art will recognize the applicability of other processes and / or the use of other materials.

[0027] In the description of the embodiments in this application, the term "and / or" is merely a description of the relationship between related objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B can represent: A existing alone, A and B existing simultaneously, and B existing alone. Additionally, the character " / " in this document generally indicates that the preceding and following related objects have an "or" relationship.

[0028] Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings, an indoor air conditioning unit 100 according to a first aspect embodiment of the present invention will be described.

[0029] Please refer to Figures 1-4 The air conditioner indoor unit 100 includes: a housing 1, an indoor fan 2, a display box 3, and a display component 4. The front panel 11 of the housing 1 includes a display panel 111 and an exterior panel 112. The exterior panel 112 is located below the display panel 111. The display panel 111 includes a light-transmitting display area 111a and a first air outlet area 111b that are spaced apart. The top of the housing 1 is provided with an air inlet 1a and the bottom of the housing 1 is provided with a second air outlet area 1b. The indoor fan 2 is located inside the housing 1 to guide airflow to the first air outlet area 111b and / or the second air outlet area 1b. The display box 3 is located inside the housing 1 and is fixed to the front panel 11. The display box 3 and the first air outlet area 111b are spaced apart. The display component 4 is located inside the display box 3 and is positioned directly opposite the display area 111a.

[0030] As can be seen, the air conditioner indoor unit 100 can not only discharge air through the first air outlet area 111b, but also through the second air outlet area 1b, so that the air outlet mode and air outlet path of the air conditioner indoor unit 100 are more varied, which can enrich the functions of the air conditioner indoor unit 100. Of course, in other embodiments of this application, the air conditioner indoor unit 100 can also discharge air only through the first air outlet area 111b, or the air conditioner indoor unit 100 can discharge air only through the second air outlet area 1b.

[0031] Furthermore, the display panel 111 includes a display area 111a and a first air outlet area 111b spaced apart, so that the display panel 111 can not only meet the display function requirements of the indoor unit 100, but also meet the air outlet requirements of the indoor unit 100. In related technologies, the display area and the first air outlet area often need to occupy a certain space, resulting in a complex internal structure and large size of the indoor unit. However, this application integrates the display area 111a and the first air outlet area 111b by setting the display panel 111, eliminating the need for separate panels for the display area 111a and the first air outlet area 111b. The structure is more compact, which facilitates the miniaturization design of the indoor unit 100, and the overall integrity of the front panel 11 is better. Moreover, the spaced arrangement of the display area 111a and the first air outlet area 111b reduces the interference of air outlet on the display effect. For example, during the operation of the indoor unit 100, the air outlet airflow will not blow directly onto the display area 111a, thereby ensuring the clear visibility of the displayed information.

[0032] The display box 3 is spaced apart from the first air outlet area 111b to prevent the display box 3 from interfering with the air outlet of the first air outlet area 111b and to provide space for the arrangement of other components, such as the fresh air component of the air conditioner indoor unit 100, which is arranged opposite to the first air outlet area 111b. The display component 4 is arranged directly opposite the display area 111a so that the display component 4 can display various information of the air conditioner indoor unit 100 through the light-transmitting display area 111a. For example, the display area 111a can have radar area display, temperature display, cooling display, heating display, humidity control display, windless display, electric auxiliary heating display, filter cleaning display, CO2 concentration display, fresh air display, purification display, sterilization display, etc., so that users can more intuitively observe various operating information of the air conditioner indoor unit 100 and improve the practicality of the air conditioner indoor unit 100.

[0033] It is understood that there are no specific restrictions on the connection method between the display panel 111 and the appearance panel 112. For example, the display panel 111 and the appearance panel 112 can be detachably connected or non-detachably connected. The display panel 111 and the appearance panel 112 can adopt at least one of the following connection methods: threaded connection, snap-fit ​​connection, riveting, interference fit, expansion connection, adhesive bonding and welding.

[0034] In some embodiments, the first air outlet area 111b serves as a fresh air outlet, directly introducing fresh outdoor air into the room, effectively reducing indoor carbon dioxide concentration, removing odors and harmful gases, and creating a more comfortable living and working environment for users. As an example, the air conditioner indoor unit 100 also includes a heat exchanger 6, which is located inside the casing 1. The indoor fan 2 guides airflow through the heat exchanger 6 to the second air outlet area 1b. Combined with the first air outlet area 111b serving as a fresh air outlet, the air conditioner indoor unit 100 can not only meet the needs of cooling and heating but also the need for fresh air, thus enriching the functions of the air conditioner indoor unit 100.

[0035] Please refer to Figures 5-7 In some embodiments, the display component 4 includes a radar display area 44a. In the length direction of the display panel 111, the radar display area 44a and the first air outlet area 111b are located at both ends of the display panel 111. That is, the radar display area 44a can be located at one end of the length of the display panel 111, and the first air outlet area 111b can be located at the other end of the length of the display panel 111, so that the air outlet of the first air outlet area 111b is not easily obscured by the display of the radar display area 44a, reducing the interference of the air outlet on the display effect, and the overall layout of the air conditioner indoor unit 100 is more reasonable.

[0036] As an example, the air conditioner indoor unit 100 also includes a fresh air assembly, which is positioned opposite to the first air outlet area 111b. Combined with the radar display area 44a and the first air outlet area 111b being located at opposite ends of the display panel 111, this allows for a suitable spacing between the fresh air assembly and the display assembly 4, facilitating their arrangement. Furthermore, a certain space is left between the radar display area 44a and the first air outlet area 111b to facilitate the arrangement of other components, such as the functional display area 451 described later. For example, the fresh air assembly includes a fresh air fan and a filter structure (e.g., a filter screen), and a fresh air duct is defined within the fresh air assembly, communicating with the first air outlet area 111b to meet the user's need for fresh air and enrich the functionality of the air conditioner indoor unit 100.

[0037] Please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 In some embodiments, the display panel 111 is provided with a grille portion 1113, which defines a first air outlet area 111b. The grille portion 1113 can guide and disperse the airflow from the first air outlet area 111b, reducing the possibility of concentrated airflow blowing directly onto a certain area, so that the airflow from the first air outlet area 111b can be more evenly diffused to all corners of the room, thereby improving indoor air circulation efficiency. At the same time, the grille portion 1113 can also act as a physical barrier, effectively preventing larger foreign objects, such as fingers, toys, and debris, from entering the housing 1, which helps to extend the service life of the indoor air conditioning unit 100 and reduce maintenance costs. Moreover, the grille portion 1113 can increase the overall structural strength of the display panel 111, reduce deformation and damage to the display panel 111, and improve the stability and durability of the display panel 111.

[0038] Please refer to Figures 8-14 In some embodiments, the display component 4 includes a display panel 41, a spacer 42, and a shield 43. The spacer 42 is disposed between the display panel 41 and the display panel 111, and the shield 43 is disposed between the spacer 42 and the display panel 111. The shield 43 is made of an opaque material and has multiple clearance holes 431 for displaying radar information. The spacer 42 has multiple light-transmitting holes 421 corresponding to the clearance holes 431.

[0039] As can be seen, the display panel 41 can display different radar information through the corresponding avoidance through hole 431 and light-transmitting through hole 421. Combined with the fact that the shielding plate 43 is made of opaque material, the adjacent light-transmitting through hole 421 and avoidance through hole 431 are less likely to interfere with each other when displaying different radar information, and are less likely to cause light crosstalk. This allows for a clearer and more precise display of different radar information, which helps to improve the display effect of the display component 4.

[0040] As an example, the display panel 41 is provided with a plurality of light sources (such as LED light sources) on the side facing the display panel 111. Each light source is disposed opposite to the corresponding light-transmitting through hole 421 and the clearance through hole 431. By controlling the switching of the plurality of light sources, the display information of the display panel 111 can be controlled.

[0041] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 8 In some embodiments, the indoor unit 100 of the air conditioner also includes a radar detector 5. The radar detector 5 is located inside the display box 3 and electrically connected to the display component 4. The display component 4 includes a radar display area 44a. The device that uses radar technology to detect information about the surrounding environment through the radar detector 5 can sense the position and activity status of a person, and then adjust the operating mode and the swing angle of the air guide plate of the indoor unit 100 accordingly. For example, when the radar detector 5 senses that a person is located in a specific area of ​​the room, such as when people are gathered on the left side of the air conditioner, the air conditioner can adjust the air guide direction to avoid cold air blowing directly on the user; at the same time, it can intelligently adjust the cooling or heating power according to the activity status of the people to improve comfort and energy saving.

[0042] Please refer to Figures 8-14 In one embodiment, the display component 4 includes a radar display area 44a for displaying radar information, a shielding plate 43 is provided with a plurality of clearance through holes 431 for displaying radar information, and a spacer 42 is provided with a plurality of light-transmitting through holes 421 corresponding to the clearance through holes 431. At least one clearance through hole 431 is located in the middle of the radar display area 44a, and the other clearance through holes 431 are arranged around the at least one clearance through hole 431 in the circumference of the radar display area 44a, so that the radar display area 44a can display dynamic human icons within the monitoring range in real time.

[0043] For example, please refer to Figure 12The clearance through-hole 431 includes a first clearance through-hole 431 and a second clearance through-hole 431. There are two first clearance through-holes 431 located in the middle of the radar display area 44a. The upper first clearance through-hole 431 is circular, and the lower first clearance through-hole 431 is arc-shaped, so that the two first clearance through-holes 431 approximately form a human icon. There are three second clearance through-holes 431, and the two second clearance through-holes 431 are arc-shaped. The three second clearance through-holes 431 are located below the two first clearance through-holes 431 and are arranged around the two first clearance through-holes 431, which can be used to display the user's current location. When the indoor unit 100 of the air conditioner is started, and the air conditioner does not detect any user information, the display component 4 can emit light only through the two first clearance holes 431 and the corresponding light-transmitting holes 421. When the indoor unit 100 of the air conditioner is started, and the air conditioner detects that the user is located on the left, and / or, middle, and / or right side of the indoor unit 100, the display component 4 can emit light not only through the two first clearance holes 431 and the corresponding light-transmitting holes 421, but also through the second clearance holes 431 located on the left, and / or, middle, and / or right side and the corresponding light-transmitting holes 421, so as to intuitively show the presence of a user on the left, and / or, middle, and / or right side of the indoor unit 100. When the indoor unit 100 of the air conditioner is turned off, the display component 4 does not emit light through the first clearance holes 431 and the second clearance holes 431.

[0044] In some embodiments, the shielding plate 43 is glued to the spacer 42 to simplify the assembly of the shielding plate 43 and the spacer 42 and facilitate operation. At the same time, light leakage is less likely to occur between the shielding plate 43 and the spacer 42, which helps to improve the display effect of the display component 4. The spacer 42 and the display panel 41 are snapped together to simplify the assembly of the spacer 42 and the display panel 41 and facilitate subsequent replacement and maintenance of the spacer 42 and the display panel 41, thereby reducing maintenance costs.

[0045] Please refer to Figures 13-15 In some embodiments, the spacer 42 is provided with at least one set of mating buckles 422, and the display panel 41 is provided with multiple mating through holes 411. Each set of mating buckles 422 includes a fixed buckle 4221 and an elastic buckle 4222. The fixed buckle 4221 is located below the elastic buckle 4222. The fixed buckle 4221 passes through the corresponding mating through hole 411 to support the display panel 41. That is, the fixed buckle 4221 can support the display panel 41 in the vertical direction, so that the display panel 41 is less likely to fall, which helps to improve the reliability of the display component 4.

[0046] Among them, the elastic buckle 4222 is an elastic element and passes through the corresponding mating through hole 411 to elastically abut against the rear surface of the display panel 41. That is, the elastic buckle 4222 can also provide a certain support effect for the display panel 41. Utilizing the elastic deformation capability of the elastic buckle 4222, even if there is a certain deviation between the elastic buckle 4222 and the corresponding mating through hole 411, the elastic buckle 4222 can still be assembled into the corresponding mating through hole 411. This helps to reduce the manufacturing difficulty of the spacer 42 and the display panel 41, improve the assembly efficiency of the display assembly 4, and make the fit between the spacer 42 and the display panel 41 more stable. This helps to enhance the structural strength of the display panel 41 and the spacer 42. Even if the length of the display panel 41 and the spacer 42 is long, they are not prone to deformation, which helps to improve the reliability of the display assembly 4.

[0047] In some examples, please refer to Figure 13 The spacer 42 includes multiple sets of mating buckles 422, which are spaced apart along the length of the spacer 42 to improve the connection strength between the spacer 42 and the display panel 41.

[0048] As an example, when it is necessary to assemble the spacer 42 and the display panel 41, the fixing buckle 4221 can be inserted into the corresponding mating through hole 411 first, so that the fixing buckle 4221 supports the display panel 41 in the vertical direction. Then, by utilizing the elastic deformation capability of the elastic buckle 4222, the elastic buckle 4222 can be inserted into the corresponding mating through hole 411 to complete the assembly of the spacer 42 and the display panel 41.

[0049] It is understood that the through hole 411 can be an open annulus or a closed annulus, and this application does not limit this. As an example, in Figure 14 In the example, the through hole 411 through which the elastic buckle 4222 passes is a closed ring, and the through hole 411 through which the fixed buckle 4221 passes is an open ring.

[0050] The fixing buckle 4221 and the elastic buckle 4222 are inserted into the corresponding mating through hole 411, which facilitates multi-point fixing of the spacer 42 and the display panel 41. This helps to improve the structural strength of the spacer 42 and the display panel 41, making it less likely for the spacer 42 and the display panel 41 to shift relative to each other. This improves the display reliability of the display assembly 4. At the same time, the spacer 42 and the display panel 41 can fit more tightly, making it less likely for light to pass through between the spacer 42 and the display panel 41. In other words, it is less likely for light to pass through between the multiple light-transmitting through holes 421, which improves the display effect of the display assembly 4.

[0051] It is understandable that each set of latches 422 may also include only elastic latches 4222, for example, elastic latches 4222 are present on both the upper and lower sides of the spacer 42, which helps to further reduce the assembly difficulty of the display component 4.

[0052] For example, please refer to Figure 11 The display component 4 includes a radar display area 44a that displays radar information. A spacer 42 and a display panel 41, which are disposed opposite to the radar display area 44a, are assembled by two sets of mating buckles 422. A fixing buckle 4221 is located below the elastic buckle 4222. The spacer 42 and the display panel 41 can be assembled by two fixing buckles 4221 and two elastic buckles 4222.

[0053] In other embodiments of this application, the latch 422 may also include only the elastic latch 4222. For each set of latches 422, one elastic latch 4222 is located below the other elastic latch 4222. The first display area 44 includes a radar display area 44a that displays radar information. The spacer 42 and the display panel 41, which are disposed opposite to the radar display area 44a, are assembled by two sets of latches 422. The spacer 42 and the display panel 41 can be assembled by four elastic latches 4222.

[0054] Please refer to Figure 10 and Figure 11 In some embodiments, the spacer 42 includes multiple light-transmitting areas 423, one of which includes multiple light-transmitting holes 421. The display panel 41 is provided with display lamps 412 and / or display patterns 413 corresponding to the multiple light-transmitting areas 423. The shape, size and position of the light-transmitting areas 423 are designed according to the display requirements and correspond to the display lamps 412 and / or display patterns 413 on the display panel 41, so that the display lamps 412 and display patterns 413 on the display panel 41 can display different air conditioning information, thereby realizing the partitioned display and isolation of multiple information and reducing the visual interference of different display lamps 412 and display patterns 413.

[0055] It is understandable that the display pattern 413 can be composed of multiple display lights 412 arranged in a certain pattern, or the display pattern 413 can be composed of display lights 412 capable of displaying patterns.

[0056] Please refer to the following: Figure 9 and Figure 16The display component 4 includes a first display area 44 and a second display area 45 spaced apart along its length. The first display area 44 includes a radar display area 44a for displaying radar information, which can display dynamic human icons within the monitoring range in real time. The second display area includes multiple functional display areas 451, which include at least one of a fresh air prompt area 451b, a carbon dioxide prompt area 451a, a purification prompt area 451c, and a sterilization prompt area 451d. Each functional display area 451 is provided with a corresponding light-transmitting area 423. By dividing different functional information into independent functional display areas 451, users can quickly locate the information they need without having to search through complex interfaces, thus improving information acquisition efficiency and making it more convenient for users to operate the device. Users can quickly understand the status of various functions of the device without complicated operations and then make corresponding operational adjustments, such as deciding whether to turn on or strengthen the air purification function based on the information in the purification prompt area 451c.

[0057] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 9 and Figure 16 The first display area 44 also includes at least one of the following: cooling prompt area 44c, heating prompt area 44d, humidity control prompt area 44e, no wind prompt area 44f, electric auxiliary heating prompt area 44g, and filter cleaning prompt area 44h.

[0058] The cooling indicator area 44c and heating indicator area 44d clearly show users whether the device is currently in cooling or heating mode, as well as its operating intensity. The humidity control indicator area 44e provides real-time feedback on the device's humidity control status, allowing users to determine whether further adjustments to the humidity settings are needed to meet their comfort requirements. The windless mode indicator area 44f informs users whether the device is in windless mode. The electric auxiliary heating indicator area 44g displays whether the electric auxiliary heating function of the indoor unit 100 is activated, providing information on auxiliary measures taken to improve heating performance in low-temperature environments. The filter cleaning indicator area 44h reminds users to clean or replace the filter in a timely manner to ensure normal operation and air purification. When the filter cleaning indicator area 44h indicates that the filter needs cleaning, users can take timely action to avoid filter blockage affecting device performance and air quality.

[0059] In some examples, please refer to Figure 9 and Figure 16 The first display area 44 also includes a temperature display area 44b, which is used to display the cooling / heating temperature of the air conditioner indoor unit 100 or to display the current indoor temperature, so as to enrich the functions of the air conditioner indoor unit 100.

[0060] Please refer to Figures 16-20In some embodiments, the display box 3 is provided with an elastic stop member 31, which cooperates with the display component 4 to at least make the light-emitting display part 46 of the display component 4 fit with the display area 111a, so that the gap between the light-emitting display part 46 and the display area 111a is small, making the display component 4 less prone to display blurring or haloing, and improving the display reliability of the display component 4.

[0061] As an example, the elastic stop member 31 abuts against the side of the display component 4 away from the display panel 111. Utilizing the elastic deformation capability of the elastic stop member 31, the elastic stop member 31 can exert a force on the display component 4 toward the display panel 111, so that the light-emitting display part 46 and the display area 111a fit more stably.

[0062] Please refer to Figures 16-20 In some embodiments, there are multiple elastic stop members 31, and the multiple elastic stop members 31 are spaced apart along the length direction of the display component 4. The multiple elastic stop members 31 can give the display component 4 a more uniform and comprehensive force toward the display panel 111, so that the light-emitting display part 46 and the display area 111a can be more stably attached, and there is less likely to be a partial area of ​​loose attachment. This makes the display component 4 less likely to have problems such as display blurring or haloing, and facilitates the improvement of the display reliability of the display component 4.

[0063] As an example, the display box 3 is located on the rear side of the display panel 111, the display component 4 is located between the display box 3 and the display panel 111, and the elastic stop member 31 is located on the front side of the display box 3. The elastic stop member 31 extends from rear to front and extends obliquely along the length direction and / or width direction of the display box 3.

[0064] Please refer to Figure 19 and Figure 20 In some embodiments, the display box 3 also includes a fastener 32, and the display component 4 also includes a mating part 424. The mating part 424 is located on the rear side of the light-emitting display part 46, and the fastener 32 is located on the front side of the mating part 424. The fastener 32 and the mating part 424 abut against each other to position the display component 4.

[0065] As can be seen, the elastic stop member 31 can exert a force on the display component 4 toward the display panel 111, so that the fastening member 32 and the mating part 424 can be stably mated together. The mating of the display component 4 and the display box 3 can be more stable, and the two are less likely to have relative positions, so that the display component 4 can have a better display effect. Among them, the mating part 424 is located on the rear side of the light-emitting display part 46, so that after the mating part 424 and the fastening member 32 are mated, the mating part 424 will not affect the light emission of the light-emitting display part 46, which helps to improve the reliability of the air conditioner indoor unit 100.

[0066] As an example, the display assembly 4 includes a display panel 41, a spacer 42, and a shield 43. The spacer 42 is disposed between the display panel 41 and the display panel 111, and the shield 43 is disposed between the spacer 42 and the display panel 111. The shield 43 is provided with a plurality of clearance holes 431, and the spacer 42 is provided with a plurality of light-transmitting holes 421 corresponding to the clearance holes 431. The display panel 41 can display information through the corresponding clearance holes 431 and light-transmitting holes 421. The upper and lower edges of the spacer 42 are configured as mating parts 424. The display panel 41, a part of the spacer 42, and the shield 43 together constitute a light-emitting display part 46.

[0067] In some examples, please refer to Figure 17 There are multiple fasteners 32, which are spaced apart along the length and / or width of the display box 3, so that the multiple fasteners 32 can be fitted at different positions of the mating part 424, which facilitates the improvement of the connection strength between the display box 3 and the display component 4.

[0068] In some embodiments, the display panel 111 is a single piece, which makes the processing and manufacturing of the display panel 111 more convenient and also gives the display panel 111 better structural strength; the display panel 111 is a coated injection molded part, for example, the display panel 111 is injection molded from a transparent material and vacuum coated on the surface of the display panel 111, so that the display panel 111 has better integrity and better structural strength.

[0069] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 21 The display panel 111 includes a main body 1114 and at least one decorative element 1115. The decorative element 1115 can serve as a display area 111a. The decorative element 1115 is a transparent plastic part, and its front surface is coated with a film layer. The main body 1114 has a first air outlet area 111b. As an example, the decorative element 1115 is injection molded from a transparent material, and a vacuum coating is applied to its surface. Optionally, the display panel 111 has a display hole so that the decorative element 1115 is exposed on the outer surface of the display panel 111, further improving the display effect.

[0070] As can be seen, the decorative element 1115 can serve as the display area 111a, meaning the display component 4 can transmit light through the decorative element 1115 to display information, while the main body 1114 does not need to display information. Therefore, the material of the main body 1114 does not need to be transparent, which helps to reduce the choice of materials for the main body 1114 and reduces the manufacturing difficulty of the display panel 111. As an example, the display component 4 and the decorative element 1115 are positioned opposite each other.

[0071] It is understood that the display panel 111 may include one or more decorative elements 1115, and this application does not limit this.

[0072] Please refer to Figures 22-26 In some embodiments, the decorative element 1115 and the main body 1114 are fastened together by snap-fit, making the assembly and disassembly of the decorative element 1115 and the main body 1114 more convenient. When the decorative element 1115 and the main body 1114 need repair or replacement, they can be disassembled separately for replacement or maintenance, reducing maintenance costs. Moreover, when the display component 4 needs maintenance, the decorative element 1115 can be disassembled to expose part of the display component 4, without having to disassemble the entire display panel 111, thus reducing maintenance difficulty.

[0073] As an example, one of the main body 1114 and the decorative part 1115 has a resilient buckle 11141 and the other has a latching protrusion 11151. By engaging the latching protrusion 11151 with the resilient buckle 11141, the assembly of the main body 1114 and the decorative part 1115 can be completed. By separating the latching protrusion 11151 and the resilient buckle 11141, the separation of the main body 1114 and the decorative part 1115 can be completed, which reduces the difficulty of disassembling and assembling the main body 1114 and the decorative part 1115 and facilitates maintenance.
