[0025] The air conditioner 100 of this utility model is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0026] According to the embodiment of the present utility model, the air conditioner 100, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, it includes: a body 1, an electrical control box 2, and a display box 3. The body 1 includes a face frame 11, on which a maintenance area 11a is formed. The electrical control box 2 is disposed on the body 1 and is disposed opposite to the maintenance area 11a. The display box 3 is movably disposed on the face frame 11 and is electrically connected to the electrical control box 2 through a connecting wire harness. The display box 3 has a first state and a second state. In the first state, a part of the display box 3 is fitted into the maintenance area 11a to cover the maintenance area 11a. In the second state, the display box 3 is detached from the maintenance area 11a and avoids the maintenance area 11a.

[0027] The main body 1 is the main component of the air conditioner 100. The electrical control box 2 is installed on the main body 1. The electrical control box 2 is used to control the main body 1 and the display box 3, etc. The display box 3 is installed on the front frame 11 of the main body 1. The display box 3 can display the operating information of the air conditioner 100, or the indoor and outdoor temperatures, etc., which can display the information intuitively and improve the functionality of the air conditioner 100.

[0028] The control box 2 is positioned opposite the maintenance area 11a. When the control box 2 needs repair or replacement, it can be repaired from the maintenance area 11a, or some components of the control box 2 can be removed from the maintenance area 11a. Since the control box 2 is a control component, it requires dustproof and waterproof installation. In related technologies, an electrical cover is installed in the maintenance area to enclose the control box inside the machine body. The electrical cover is fixed to the front frame with screws. During assembly, the control box and display box wiring harness must be connected first, then the electrical cover is connected to the front frame, and finally the display box is connected to the machine body. This involves many steps, increasing manufacturing and assembly costs.

[0029] In this embodiment of the utility model, the air conditioner 100 directly utilizes a portion of the display box 3 to cover the maintenance area 11a, making it convenient for the aforementioned portion of the display box 3 to be used as an electrical cover. This eliminates the need for an additional electrical cover to cover the maintenance area 11a, thereby simplifying the structure, reducing manufacturing costs, and reducing the steps of connecting the electrical cover to the face frame 11. After the display box 3 and the electrical control box 2 are electrically connected via a connecting wire harness, the display box 3 can be directly connected to the face frame 11, reducing assembly steps, lowering assembly industrial costs, and improving overall assembly efficiency.

[0030] In the first state, a portion of the display box 3 is fitted within the maintenance area 11a to cover it, thereby protecting the internal electrical control box 2 while meeting safety regulations. In the first state, the display box 3 can completely cover the maintenance area 11a, with an assembly gap; alternatively, the display box 3 can only partially cover the maintenance area 11a, both of which fall within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0031] Similarly, when the control box 2 needs repair or replacement, it is only necessary to switch the display box 3 from the first state to the second state, which will clear the inspection area 11a. This allows maintenance of the control box 2 from the inspection area 11a, or the removal of some components from the control box 2. Compared to using an electrical cover to cover the inspection area, this reduces the need to remove the electrical cover, thus simplifying the repair process and making it easier to operate.

[0032] The air conditioner 100 of this utility model directly covers the maintenance area 11a by setting a display box 3, which has the characteristics of simple structure, high assembly efficiency, low cost and easy maintenance.

[0033] According to the embodiment of this utility model, the air conditioner 100 directly utilizes a portion of the display box 3 to cover the maintenance area 11a, eliminating the need for an additional electrical cover. This simplifies the structure, reduces manufacturing costs, and reduces the steps of connecting the electrical cover to the frame 11. After the display box 3 and the control box 2 are electrically connected via a wiring harness, the display box 3 can be directly connected to the frame 11, reducing assembly steps and lowering assembly costs. When the control box 2 needs repair or replacement, simply switching the display box 3 from its first state to its second state avoids the maintenance area 11a, reducing the need to remove the electrical cover and simplifying maintenance procedures.

[0034] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 3 and Figure 5As shown, the display box 3 includes a first box body 31 and a first box cover 32. The first box body 31 has a first opening 311. The first box cover 32 is disposed on the first opening 311 and is movably connected to the first box body 31 to open and close the first opening 311. In the first state, a part of the first box body 31 is fitted into the maintenance area 11a, and the first opening 311 is located at the end of the first box body 31 away from the electrical control box 2.

[0035] The display box 3 includes a first box body 31 and a first box cover 32. The first box body 31 and the first box cover 32 together define a first receiving cavity. The display body 35 and the like are arranged inside the first receiving cavity. The first box body 31 and the first box cover 32 together protect the display body 35 inside.

[0036] In the first state, a portion of the first housing 31 is fitted into the maintenance area 11a, and this portion of the first housing 31 covers the maintenance area 11a. By opening the first opening 311 of the first housing 31 towards the end furthest from the control box 2, when maintenance of the display box 3 is required, it is not necessary to remove the display box 3 from the maintenance area 11a. Maintenance and replacement of the display body 35 inside the display box 3 can be performed simply by opening the first opening 311 of the first housing cover 32, simplifying the operation. Furthermore, when maintaining the interior of the display box 3, the first housing 31 continues to cover the maintenance area 11a, protecting the control box 2 and minimizing the impact on the control box 2.

[0037] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, the side surface of the first cover 32 facing away from the first box body 31 helps to define the exterior surface of the air conditioner 100.

[0038] Therefore, when maintenance is required on display box 3, it can be operated directly by contacting display box 3. When maintenance is required on electrical control box 2, it is only necessary to directly drive display box 3 to switch from the first state to the second state. There is no need to disassemble other structural components first, which can improve the convenience of operation.

[0039] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 6 As shown, the first box body 31 is connected to the face frame 11 through the first box cover 32.

[0040] The first box body 31 can be connected to the first box cover 32, and the first box cover 32 is connected to the face frame 11, thereby connecting the display box 3 to the face frame 11. Compared to connecting the first box body and the first box cover to the face frame separately, connecting the first box body 31 to the face frame 11 via the first box cover 32 allows the first box body 31 and the first box cover 32 to be connected as a whole first, and then the whole to be connected to the face frame 11, which simplifies the assembly process and improves assembly efficiency.

[0041] Furthermore, the first box body 31 is connected to the face frame 11 via the first box cover 32. When the relatively outer first box cover 32 is moved from the face frame 11 or the first box cover 32 is removed from the face frame 11, the entire display box 3 can be removed from the maintenance area 11a to avoid the maintenance area 11a. Switching the display box 3 from the first state to the second state is simple and facilitates the maintenance of the electrical control box 2.

[0042] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 2 As shown, the display box 3 is detachably connected to the face frame 11.

[0043] When the display box 3 is in the first state, the display box 3 is connected to the face frame 11, and the display box 3 blocks the maintenance area 11a. When the display box 3 is switched from the first state to the second state, the display box 3 is detached from the face frame 11, so that the display box 3 can be separated from the maintenance area 11a, allowing the display box 3 to avoid the maintenance area 11a.

[0044] By detaching the display box 3 from the faceplate 11 to switch to the second state, the display box 3 completely avoids the maintenance area 11a. When maintaining the electrical control box 2, it is not necessary to continue holding the display box 3 with one hand, and the situation of accidentally touching the display box 3 can be reduced, making operation easier.

[0045] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, one end of the display box 3 is rotatably engaged with the face frame 11, and the other end is detachably engaged with the face frame 11.

[0046] When the display box 3 is in the first state, one end of the display box 3 is connected to the face frame 11, and the other end of the display box 3 also cooperates with the face frame 11 to block the maintenance area 11a. When switching the display box 3 from the first state to the second state, the other end of the display box 3 is detached from the face frame 11, and then the display box 3 is driven to rotate relative to the face frame 11 using the mating part of one end of the display box 3 and the face frame 11 as a pivot. This allows the display box 3 to detach from the maintenance area 11a, so that the display box 3 avoids the maintenance area 11a.

[0047] By rotating one end of the display box 3 to the face frame 11, the display box 3 can be connected to the face frame 11 in both the first and second states, reducing the risk of loss after complete disassembly. Furthermore, the rotation of the display box 3 relative to the face frame 11 is simple and its movement is stable and reliable.

[0048] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 7 As shown, one end of the display box 3 in the width direction is rotatably engaged with the face frame 11, and the other end of the display box 3 in the width direction is detachably engaged with the face frame 11.

[0049] In other embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 8 As shown, one end of the display box 3 along its length is rotatably engaged with the face frame 11, and the other end of the display box 3 along its length is detachably engaged with the face frame 11.

[0050] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Figure 10 As shown, one end of the display box 3 is rotatably engaged with the face frame 11 via a swing arm 18.

[0051] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 4-6 As shown, in the first state, the side surface of the display box 3 facing away from the control box 2 participates in defining the appearance of the air conditioner 100. The display box 3 is detachably connected to the face frame 11 by fasteners 4. The body 1 also includes a panel or air inlet grille 13 that participates in defining the appearance of the air conditioner 100. The panel or air inlet grille 13 covers the fasteners 4.

[0052] In the first state, the display box 3 covers the control box 2 inside. The surface of the display box 3 facing away from the control box 2 helps to define the appearance of the air conditioner 100, reducing structural gaps and improving the overall appearance of the air conditioner 100.

[0053] The display box 3 is detachably connected to the face frame 11 via fasteners 4, which improves the connection stability between the display box 3 and the face frame 11, allowing the display box 3 to remain stably in the first state. It also provides good coverage of the obstructed area and enhances the protection of the electrical control box 2.

[0054] The body 1 also includes a panel or air inlet grille 13 that defines the exterior surface of the air conditioner 100. The panel or air inlet grille 13 covers the fastener 4, thereby reducing the impact of external dust or water and other pollutants on the fastener 4, improving the working reliability of the fastener 4, and improving the overall appearance of the air conditioner 100 by covering the fastener 4 with the panel or air inlet grille 13 that forms the exterior surface of the air conditioner 100.

[0055] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 9 and Figure 11 As shown, a fixing hole 38 is provided on one side of the display box 3 in the width direction, and a protruding insert plate 39 is provided on the other end of the display box 3 in the width direction. The display box 3 is inserted into the face frame 11 through the insert plate 39 on the other side in the width direction, and the fastener 4 passes through the fixing hole 38 on one side of the display box 3 in the width direction and is fixedly connected to the face frame 11, thereby stably connecting the display box 3 and the face frame 11, so that the display box 3 is stably maintained in the first state.

[0056] like Figure 8As shown, one end of the display box 3 along its length is rotatably engaged with the face frame 11, and the other end of the display box 3 along its length is detachably engaged with the face frame 11.

[0057] When switching the display box 3 from the first state to the second state, firstly, the fastener 4 is released from locking the display box 3 and the face frame 11. Then, the display box 3 is driven to rotate relative to the face frame 11 using the mating part between one end of the display box 3 and the face frame 11 as the pivot. At the same time as rotating, the insertion plate 39 is released from the insertion mating with the face frame 11. Finally, after the display box 3 rotates to a predetermined angle, the maintenance area 11a can be completely avoided.

[0058] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 6 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the side wall of the display box 3 facing the electrical control box 2 includes a first wall portion 33 and a second wall portion 34. The first wall portion 33 protrudes from the second wall portion 34 on the side facing the electrical control box 2. The first wall portion 33 is fitted into the maintenance area 11a, and the second wall portion 34 abuts against the edge of the maintenance area 11a.

[0059] The second wall portion 34 provides a stop, ensuring a stable fit between the display box 3 and the frame 11, and ensuring a stable fit between the first wall portion 33 and the maintenance area 11a. This provides good coverage of the maintenance area 11a and enhances the protection of the electrical control box 2. It can be understood that the frame 11 provides some support for the display box 3, which helps improve the installation reliability and drop resistance of the display box 3.

[0060] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 6 and Figure 10 As shown, the maintenance area 11a has a mating groove 111, and the bottom wall of the mating groove 111 has an inspection port 112. In the first state, a part of the display box 3 is mated to the mating groove 111 and covers the inspection port 112. The connecting wire harness passes between the peripheral wall of the display box 3 and the peripheral wall of the inspection port 112.

[0061] The bottom wall of the mating groove 111 has an access port 112. The electrical control box 2 is located on the side of the bottom wall of the mating groove 111 closer to the inside of the machine body, and the display box 3 is located on the other side of the bottom wall of the mating groove 111. The display box 3 and the electrical control box 2 are respectively placed on both sides of the bottom wall of the mating groove 111. A part of the display box 3 fits into the mating groove 111 and covers the access port 112, thereby improving the shielding effect on the electrical control box 2.

[0062] The display box 3 of the control box 2 are electrically connected by a connecting wire harness. The connecting wire harness passes through the inspection port 112 and through the peripheral wall of the display box 3 to be electrically connected to the display box 3.

[0063] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the maintenance area 11a has a mating groove 111, and the bottom wall of the mating groove 111 has a maintenance opening 112; the side wall of the display box 3 facing the electrical control box 2 includes a first wall portion 33 and a second wall portion 34, and the first wall portion 33 protrudes from the second wall portion 34 on the side facing the electrical control box 2.

[0064] In the first state, the first wall portion 33 fits into the mating groove 111 and covers the access port 112, while the second wall portion 34 abuts against the edge of the mating groove 111 (or, in other words, the second wall portion 34 abuts against the portion surrounding the mating groove 111). The outer contour shape of the first wall portion 33 is consistent with or similar to the shape of the mating groove 111, thereby ensuring a tight fit between the first wall portion 33 and the mating groove 111, thus improving the shielding effect on the electrical control box 2.

[0065] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 6 As shown, the electrical control box 2 includes a second box body 21, a second box cover 22, and an electrical control board 23. A second opening 211 is formed at one end of the second box body 21 facing the maintenance area 11a. The second box cover 22 is placed over the second opening 211 and is detachably connected to the second box body 21. The electrical control board 23 is detachably disposed inside the second box body 21. The maintenance area 11a is configured to allow the electrical control board 23 to pass through.

[0066] The electrical control box 2 includes a second box body 21 and a second box cover 22. The electrical control box 2 is detachably disposed in a second receiving cavity defined by the second box body 21 and the second box cover 22. The second box body 21 and the second box cover 22 together protect the internal electrical control board 23.

[0067] By opening the second opening 211 of the second housing 21 towards the maintenance area 11a, when maintenance or replacement of the electrical control board 23 inside the second housing 21 is required, it is not necessary to remove the entire electrical control box 2; only the second opening 211 needs to be opened on the second cover 22. The maintenance area 11a is configured to allow the electrical control board 23 to pass through, allowing the electrical control board 23 to be removed separately through the second opening 211 and the maintenance area 11a without disassembling the entire electrical control box 2, making the operation convenient.

[0068] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 6 and Figure 10 As shown, the side of the control box 2 facing the display box 3 is provided with a stop structure 24. In the first state, the stop structure 24 is engaged with the display box 3.

[0069] In the first state, the display box 3 covers the maintenance area 11a to cover the electrical control box 2. The side of the electrical control box 2 facing the display box 3 is provided with a stop structure 24. The stop structure 24 cooperates with the display box 3 to limit the position of the display box 3. This not only improves the installation stability of the display box 3, but also restricts the display box 3 from being installed too close to the electrical control box 2, which can reduce the possibility of the display box 3 squeezing the electrical control box 2 and causing damage to the electrical control box 2.

[0070] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 10 As shown, the stop structure 24 includes: a cable clip 241, which engages with the connecting wire harness for limiting; and / or, a stop post 242, which is spaced apart from the connecting wire harness.

[0071] The wiring clip 241 not only stops the display box 3 to limit its position, but also limits the connecting wire harness, improving wiring neatness and reducing the impact of wire harness swaying on the display box 3 or the electrical control box 2. By setting the wiring clip 241, both stopping the display box 3 and restraining the connecting wire harness can be achieved simultaneously. The wiring clip 241 has strong functionality, eliminating the need for additional connecting wire harness limiting structures, thus simplifying the structure and reducing manufacturing costs.

[0072] The stop post 242 stops the display box 3 to limit the display box 3. The stop post 242 is spaced apart from the connecting wire harness to reduce interference with the connecting wire harness.

[0073] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 3 , Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, the body 1 has an air inlet 1a, and the display box 3 includes a display body 35 and a mounting bracket 36. The display body 35 is located on the outer periphery of the air inlet 1a, and the mounting bracket 36 is located on the periphery of the display body 35. The mounting bracket 36 extends into the outer contour of the air inlet 1a and is located downstream of the air inlet 1a. An airflow detection structure 37 is provided on the mounting bracket 36. The airflow detection structure 37 is used to detect the humidity and / or temperature of the airflow.

[0074] The display body 35 is the location for displaying information on the display box 3. The display body 35 occupies a large area of ​​the display box 3. The display body 35 is located on the outer periphery of the air inlet 1a, which can reduce the obstruction of airflow into the air inlet 1a.

[0075] The mounting bracket 36 is small in size. It extends into the outer contour of the air inlet 1a and is located downstream of the air inlet 1a. The airflow detection structure 37 on the mounting bracket 36 can detect the temperature and / or humidity of the airflow flowing into the air inlet 1a, making the perception of the indoor environment clearer.

[0076] The airflow detection structure 37 detects the temperature and / or temperature information of the airflow flowing into the air inlet 1a and transmits it to the control box 2. The air conditioner 100 can adjust the airflow according to the detection information, thereby improving the air supply effect of the air conditioner 100. The detection information of the airflow detection structure 37 can also be displayed on the display body 35, so that users can intuitively obtain the indoor temperature and / or temperature information from the display box 3, thereby improving the functionality of the air conditioner 100.

[0077] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 3 As shown, the airflow detection structure 37 includes a temperature sensor 371 and a humidity sensor 372, thereby detecting the temperature and humidity information of the airflow.

[0078] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 2 As shown, the length direction of the air conditioner 100 is horizontal. The body 1 includes a chassis 14. The electrical control box 2 is connected to the front frame 11 or the chassis 14. The electrical control box 2 and the display box 3 are both located at one end of the air conditioner 100 in the length direction. The display box 3 is located on the front side of the electrical control box 2, and the front surface of the display box 3 participates in defining the appearance of the air conditioner 100.

[0079] The display box 3 is located at one end of the length of the air conditioner 100. The display box 3 can display the operating information of the air conditioner 100, or information such as indoor and outdoor temperatures. The display box 3 is located in front of the control box 2, thus obscuring the control box 2. The front surface of the display box 3 helps to define the appearance of the air conditioner 100, and the information displayed on the display box 3 can be seen directly from the front of the air conditioner 100, which can improve the overall appearance of the air conditioner 100.

[0080] The front surface of the display box 3 defines the exterior of the air conditioner 100. When maintenance is required on the display box 3, it can be directly accessed for operation. When maintenance is required on the electrical control box 2, it is only necessary to directly drive the display box 3 to switch from the first state to the second state without disassembling other structural components. This simplifies the operation steps and improves the ease of operation.

[0081] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 12 As shown, the unit 1 has an air inlet 1a at least on its front side, and an air inlet grille 13 is provided at the air inlet 1a to cover it. The air inlet grille 13 and the display box 3 are arranged sequentially along the length of the air conditioner 100, as shown. Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the end cover of the air intake grille 13 displays the fastener 4 that is detachably connected to the display box 3 and the face frame 11.

[0082] By providing an air inlet 1a on the front side of the unit 1, compared to a solid front panel design, this invention adds a ventilation path at the front of the unit 1, which helps to increase the air intake volume. Furthermore, by providing an air intake grille 13 at the air inlet 1a, it prevents users from extending their hands into the unit 1 through the air inlet 1a, facilitating operations requiring contact with the air conditioner 100, such as installation and subsequent maintenance, and reducing the impact on the internal structure of the unit 1 during operation.

[0083] The air intake grille 13 and the display box 3 are arranged sequentially along the length of the air conditioner 100. The display box 3 has little impact on the air intake of the air inlet 1a. Furthermore, the air intake grille 13 and the display box 3 can be disassembled and assembled independently, which is convenient for maintenance.

[0084] The display box 3 and the face frame 11 are connected by fasteners 4, which can improve the installation stability of the display box 3. The air inlet grille 13 covers the fasteners 4, thereby reducing the impact of external dust or water and other pollutants on the fasteners 4 and improving the working reliability of the fasteners 4. Furthermore, by covering the fasteners 4 with the air inlet grille 13 that forms the exterior surface of the air conditioner 100, the overall appearance of the air conditioner 100 can be improved.

[0085] In some other embodiments of this utility model, the top side of the body 1 has an air inlet 1a, the front side of the face frame 11 has a panel, and a part of the display box 3 is integrally connected to the panel.

[0086] A portion of the display box 3 is integrally connected to the panel, which reduces the impact of the gap between the display box 3 and the panel on the electrical control box 2 inside the display box 3; and the integral connection of a portion of the display box 3 to the panel improves the overall appearance of the air conditioner 100; during assembly, a portion of the display box 3 is already integrally connected to the panel, thereby saving the steps of connecting the display box 3 to the panel and improving assembly efficiency.

[0087] Optionally, the display box 3 includes a first box body 31 and a first box cover 32. The first box body 31 and the first box cover 32 together define a first receiving cavity, in which a display subject 35 is arranged. The first box body 31 and the first box cover 32 together protect the internal display subject 35. A first opening 311 is formed at the end of the first box body 31 furthest from the control box 2. The first box cover 32 is placed over the first opening 311 and is movably connected to the first box body 31 to open and close the first opening 311. The first box cover 32 is integrally connected to the panel. The first box cover 32 and the panel together define the exterior surface of the air conditioner 100, improving the overall appearance of the air conditioner 100 and providing good coverage of the control box 2.

[0088] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 12As shown, the bottom of the body 1 has a first air outlet 1b, and a movable first air guide plate 15 is provided at the first air outlet 1b to open and close the first air outlet 1b. The lower front part of the body 1 has a second air outlet 1c, and an air outlet grille 16 is fixed at the second air outlet 1c to cover the second air outlet 1c. The body 1 also has a second air guide plate 17, which is rotatably configured to selectively guide the airflow to the first air outlet 1b and / or the second air outlet 1c.

[0089] The movement of the first air guide plate 15 opens and closes the first air outlet 1b. When the first air guide plate 15 closes the first air outlet, it prevents air from exiting the first air outlet 1b. When the first air guide plate 15 opens the first air outlet 1b, airflow can flow out from the first air outlet 1b. Furthermore, when the first air guide plate 15 opens the first air outlet 1b, it can also guide the airflow in and out of the air conditioner 100, thereby improving the airflow effect. For example, the first air guide plate 15 guides the airflow downwards, pressing the airflow from the first air outlet 1b, which is located at the rear, downwards, which is beneficial to the heat exchange effect of the air conditioner 100.

[0090] The lower front part of the unit 1 has a second air outlet 1c, which is covered by an air outlet grille 16. By setting the air outlet grille 16, the airflow from the second air outlet 1c can be weakened and guided to a certain extent. Compared with the first air guide plate 15, which requires movement to guide the air, the air outlet grille 16 can guide the air without movement, thus reducing energy consumption. Furthermore, in conjunction with the airflow guidance of the first air guide plate 15, the air outlet effect of the air conditioner 100 can be improved.

[0091] The second air guide plate 17 rotates to direct airflow towards the second air outlet 1c and / or the first air outlet 1b, which can improve the smoothness of airflow, increase the air volume of the first air outlet 1b and / or the second air outlet 1c, and improve the air heat exchange effect of the air conditioner 100. Not limited to this, the second air guide plate 17 can also rotate to block the second air outlet 1c, effectively opening and closing the second air outlet 1c, thereby enabling the air conditioner 100 to achieve multiple air supply modes.

[0092] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 12 As shown, the front side of the body 1 has an air inlet 1a, and an air inlet grille 13 is provided at the air inlet 1a to cover the air inlet 1a; the lower front side of the body 1 has a second air outlet 1c, and an air outlet grille 16 is fixed at the second air outlet 1c to cover the second air outlet 1c. The air inlet grille 13 and the air outlet grille 16 are constructed as a single piece, which can improve the structural stability.

[0093] It is worth noting that the type of air conditioner 100 according to the present utility model embodiment is not limited. It can be an integrated air conditioner or a split air conditioner. An integrated air conditioner can include a window air conditioner or a portable air conditioner, etc., while a split air conditioner can include a wall-mounted air conditioner or a floor-standing air conditioner, etc.
