This can prevent the second end of the support from rotating around the axis of the first end of the support when it is not in use, and can prevent the support from falling and colliding with people or other structural components in the indoor unit of the air conditioner, thereby improving the safety of the indoor unit of the air conditioner.

[0015] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the second end of the support member is provided with a guide slope, and the guide slope selectively guides and cooperates with the abutting protrusion.

[0016] The above technical solution has the following advantages or beneficial effects: a guide slope is provided at the second end of the support member, and the thickness of the second end of the support member gradually decreases from the filter support rod to the panel. This facilitates the abutment and cooperation between the second end of the support member and the abutment protrusion on the panel, which can improve the ease of operation when cleaning the filter in the indoor unit of the air conditioner.

[0017] According to some embodiments of the present invention, one of the first limiting part and the second limiting part is a limiting protrusion and the other is a limiting groove, and the limiting protrusion and the limiting groove selectively limit each other.

[0018] The above technical solution has the following advantages or beneficial effects: the limiting protrusion and the limiting groove are reliable, which can ensure the limiting reliability of the first limiting part and the second limiting part. In this way, when the support is not in use, it can be ensured that the support is stably placed on the filter screen support rod, so as to ensure the stability of the support.

[0019] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the limiting protrusion is provided with a guide arc surface, which guides and cooperates with the limiting groove so as to guide and cooperate with the limiting groove when the limiting protrusion enters and exits the limiting groove.

[0020] The above technical solution has the following advantages or beneficial effects: the limiting protrusion protrudes from the side of the support member, and a guide arc surface is provided on the limiting protrusion. When the second end of the support member rotates into the receiving groove, the guide arc surface can cooperate with the guide groove for limiting. This allows the limiting protrusion to quickly enter the limiting groove so as to cooperate with the limiting groove for limiting.

This ensures that the support part meets the structural strength requirements for supporting the panel, and the structural strength of the connecting part is greater than that of the support part. In this way, even when the support member is subjected to large forces, the position where the support member is connected to the filter screen support rod can be prevented from being crushed, thereby improving the structural reliability of the connecting part and helping to extend the service life of the support member.

[0023] According to some embodiments of this utility model, the support portion is provided with reinforcing ribs.

[0024] The above technical solution has the following advantages or beneficial effects: The reinforcing ribs can not only strengthen the structural strength of the support, but also reduce the processing material of the support while ensuring that the support meets the strength requirements of the indoor unit of the air conditioner.

[0030] In the description of this utility model, "first feature" and "second feature" may include one or more of the features.

[0031] In the description of this utility model, "multiple" means two or more, and "several" means one or more.

[0032] The following is based on Figures 1-10 This invention describes an embodiment of an air conditioner indoor unit 100.

[0033] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the indoor unit 100 of the air conditioner includes a housing 10, on which an air inlet 11 and an air outlet 12 are provided. Indoor air enters the indoor unit 100 of the air conditioner through the air inlet 11, and the indoor unit 100 of the air conditioner can blow air of a suitable temperature into the room through the air outlet 12 to adjust the indoor temperature to a preset temperature.

[0034] The indoor unit 100 of the air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present invention further includes a refrigerant circulation loop, an indoor fan, an outdoor fan, a power consumption sensor, and a controller.

[0035] In an embodiment of this utility model, the refrigerant circulation loop of the air conditioner consists of a compressor, a condenser, an expansion valve, and an evaporator. The refrigerant circulates between the compressor, condenser, expansion valve, and evaporator, thereby forming a refrigerant circulation loop.

[0036] The compressor compresses the low-temperature, low-pressure refrigerant into a high-temperature, high-pressure refrigerant. This heat can be exchanged with indoor air to heat the indoor air, or with outdoor air to cool the indoor air. Furthermore, the compressor provides the power for the refrigerant's circulation.

[0037] One of the condensers and evaporator is the outdoor heat exchanger, and the other is the indoor heat exchanger. When the refrigerant enters the outdoor heat exchanger, it exchanges heat with the outdoor air. When the refrigerant enters the indoor heat exchanger, it exchanges heat with the indoor air.

[0038] When the air conditioner is in cooling mode, heat is transferred from the refrigerant to the outdoor air in the outdoor heat exchanger, and heat is transferred from the indoor air to the refrigerant in the indoor heat exchanger. This allows the refrigerant to dissipate indoor heat to the outdoor environment, thereby lowering the indoor temperature.

[0039] When the air conditioner is in heating mode, heat is transferred from the outdoor air to the refrigerant in the outdoor heat exchanger, and heat is transferred from the refrigerant to the indoor air in the indoor heat exchanger. This allows the refrigerant to absorb heat from the outdoor environment and transfer that heat to the indoor environment, thereby raising the indoor temperature.

[0040] An expansion valve can change the pressure of the refrigerant in the refrigerant circulation loop. By throttling and reducing pressure, the expansion valve converts the medium-temperature, high-pressure liquid refrigerant into low-temperature, low-pressure wet vapor, which then absorbs heat in the evaporator to achieve a cooling effect.

[0041] Furthermore, the expansion valve can automatically adjust the flow rate based on the superheat of the gaseous refrigerant at the evaporator outlet, maintaining a stable indoor temperature and meeting the requirements of refrigerant circulation. More importantly, the expansion valve can prevent liquid refrigerant from entering the compressor, avoiding liquid hammer and protecting the compressor from damage.

[0042] The fan assembly is used to drive indoor air through the air inlet 11 into the indoor unit 100 of the air conditioner by rotation, and then through the indoor heat exchanger to exchange heat between the refrigerant and the indoor air. Under the action of the fan assembly, the flow of indoor air to the indoor heat exchanger can be accelerated, thereby accelerating the heat exchange between the indoor air and the refrigerant.

[0043] The outdoor fan is used to drive outdoor air through the outdoor heat exchanger, so that the refrigerant can exchange heat with the outdoor air. Under the action of the outdoor fan, the flow of outdoor air to the outdoor heat exchanger can be accelerated, which can further accelerate the heat exchange between the outdoor air and the refrigerant. Finally, the heat-exchanged air can be blown into the room through the air outlet 12.

[0044] A refrigerant pipe connects the outdoor heat exchanger and the compressor. The refrigerant pipe is used to transfer the refrigerant between the compressor and the outdoor heat exchanger, so as to realize the transfer of heat between the compressor and the outdoor heat exchanger.

[0045] Furthermore, the indoor unit 100 of the air conditioner also includes an electrical control box, which contains a control chip to realize the control function of the indoor unit 100 of the air conditioner.

[0046] Furthermore, the indoor unit 100 of the air conditioner also includes a panel 20, and the air outlet 12 is located on the front side of the housing 10. The panel 20 is elliptical and can be mounted on the front side of the housing 10 and selectively open and close the air outlet 12.

[0047] Specifically, the panel 20 is located on the front side of the casing 10 and on the front side of the air outlet 12. This allows the panel 20 to protect other structural components inside the indoor unit 100 of the air conditioner and prevent the heat exchange airflow of the indoor unit 100 from shifting, thereby ensuring stable airflow inside the indoor unit 100 to achieve stable heat exchange and air outlet.

[0048] Furthermore, the panel 20 is located on the front side of the housing 10 and can be selectively raised and lowered. This allows the panel 20 to selectively open the air outlet 12 on the front side of the housing 10 so that the indoor unit 100 of the air conditioner can blow air into the room. When the indoor unit 100 of the air conditioner is turned off and not in use, the panel 20 can be lowered to prevent dust or pests from entering the indoor unit 100 of the air conditioner through the air outlet 12.

[0049] Furthermore, the upper end of panel 20 is rotatably connected to housing 10. Panel 20 can be selectively rotated forward and upward. This arrangement allows the lower end of panel 20 to rotate relative to the upper end of panel 20. Thus, when panel 20 is opened from the front of housing 10, panel 20 can rotate forward and upward, causing the lower end of panel 20 to move away from the front of housing 10. This exposes the filter inside the indoor unit 100 of the air conditioner, facilitating cleaning of the filter and removing surface dust. This improves the ventilation rate of the filter, thereby enhancing its filtration effect and increasing the airflow rate within the duct, ultimately improving the air volume and quality of the indoor unit 100 of the air conditioner.

[0050] Furthermore, a support member 13 is provided on the front side of the housing 10. The first end 131 of the support member 13 is rotatably connected to the housing 10. In this way, the support member 13 can not only be placed on the housing 10, but also can be rotated relative to the housing 10 to change the angle and position of the support member 13 in the indoor unit 100 of the air conditioner.

[0051] Furthermore, the panel 20 is provided with an abutment protrusion 21, which can drive the abutment protrusion 21 to rotate forward and upward together when the panel 20 rotates forward and upward.

[0052] Furthermore, there are multiple abutment protrusions 21, which are spaced apart in the vertical direction of the panel 20. The multiple abutment protrusions 21 can rotate forward and upward together with the panel 20, and there is a certain distance between adjacent abutment protrusions.

[0053] Furthermore, when the panel 20 is rotated forward and upward to a preset position, the second end 132 of the support member 13 selectively abuts against one of the plurality of abutment protrusions 21. Specifically, when the panel 20 is moved to the preset position, the second end 132 of the support member 13 can rotate around the first end 131 of the support member 13, so that the second end 132 of the support member 13...

[0054] Combination Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, there are multiple support members 13, which increases the number of support positions of the support members 13 on the panel 20, thereby improving the reliability of the support members 13 in supporting the panel 20 in the preset position.

[0055] Furthermore, multiple support members 13 are spaced apart in the left and right directions of the housing 10. When the panel 20 is rotated forward and upward to the preset position, the multiple support members 13 abut against the panel 20 to support it. This can support the panel 20 along the length direction of the panel 20 to ensure the structural stability of the panel 20 in the length direction, and thus ensure the structural stability of the panel 20 after it is rotated forward and upward to the preset position.

[0056] Combination Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, a filter support rod 14 extending vertically is provided on the front side of the housing 10, and the first end 131 of the support member 13 is rotatably connected to the filter support rod 14.

[0057] Specifically, the filter support rod 14 can provide support for the filter inside the indoor unit 100 of the air conditioner, and can also position the filter inside the housing 10 near the front. This not only allows the filter to be arranged on the air duct of the indoor unit 100 to filter the air entering the indoor unit 100, but also allows the filter to be positioned near the panel 20. When the panel 20 is rotated forward and upward, the filter can be directly exposed, and there will be no obstructions in front of the filter, which facilitates cleaning of the filter.

[0058] Furthermore, the first end 131 of the support member 13 is connected to the filter screen support rod 14, which allows the support member 13 to be stably mounted on the filter screen support rod 14. Moreover, the first end 131 of the support member 13 is rotatable relative to the filter screen support rod 14, which allows the filter screen support rod 14 to be unrestricted axially relative to the first end 131 of the support member 13, so that the second end 132 of the support member 13 can rotate around the axis of the first end 131 of the support member 13. This allows the angle and position of the second end 132 of the support member 13 to be changed, so that the second end 132 of the support member 13 can be rotated to engage with the abutment protrusion 21 on the panel 20.

[0059] Combination Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, there are multiple filter support rods 14. By setting multiple filter support rods 14 on the housing 10, multiple support positions can be provided for the filter. This not only allows for the design of the filter installation range in the indoor unit 100 of the air conditioner, but also enhances the reliability of the filter installation on the housing 10.

[0060] Furthermore, multiple filter support rods 14 are spaced apart in the left and right directions of the housing 10, so that the multiple filter support rods 14 can provide uniform support force to the filter as a whole, so as to ensure the reliability of the filter installation in the indoor unit 100 of the air conditioner.

[0061] Furthermore, there are two support members 13. The two support members 13 are rotatably connected to the filter support rods 14 located on the left and right sides of the plurality of filter support rods 14. This arrangement allows the two support members 13 to be spaced apart along the length of the panel 20, thus supporting the panel 20 in the length direction and ensuring the structural stability of the panel 20 in the length direction. On the other hand, it reduces the number of support members 13, allowing the panel 20 to be supported by as few support members 13 as possible, thereby reducing the production cost of the air conditioner indoor unit 100.

[0062] Combination Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the side wall of the filter support rod 14 is provided with a first limiting part 141, and the support member 13 is provided with a second limiting part 133. The first limiting part 141 and the second limiting part 133 selectively limit and cooperate with each other.

[0063] Specifically, the limiting structure of the first limiting part 141 and the second limiting part 133 is simple, which can reduce the manufacturing difficulty of the filter support rod 14 and the support member 13, thereby improving the production convenience and production efficiency of the air conditioner indoor unit 100.

[0064] Furthermore, the first limiting part 141 and the second limiting part 133 are reliably matched. When the support member 13 is not in use, the first limiting part 141 and the second limiting part 133 can stably house the support member 13 on the filter support panel 20, thereby ensuring the structural stability of the support member 13 when it is not in use. This can prevent the second end 132 of the support member 13 from rotating around the axis of the first end 131 of the support member 13 when it is not in use, and can prevent the support member 13 from falling and colliding with people or other structural components in the indoor unit 100 of the air conditioner, thereby improving the safety of the use of the indoor unit 100 of the air conditioner.

[0065] Combination Figure 6 and Figure 9 As shown, the second end 132 of the support member 13 is provided with a guide slope 1321, which selectively guides and engages with the abutment protrusion 21. Specifically, the guide slope 1321 is provided at the second end 132 of the support member 13, and the thickness of the second end 132 of the support member 13 gradually decreases from the filter support rod 14 to the panel 20. This facilitates the abutment engagement between the second end 132 of the support member 13 and the abutment protrusion 21 on the panel 20, thereby improving the ease of operation when cleaning the filter in the indoor unit 100 of the air conditioner.

[0066] Combination Figure 8As shown, one of the first limiting part 141 and the second limiting part 133 is a limiting protrusion and the other is a limiting groove. The limiting protrusion and the limiting groove selectively limit each other.

[0067] Specifically, the limiting engagement of the first limiting part 141 and the second limiting part 133 is actually a limiting engagement of the limiting protrusion and the limiting groove. The limiting protrusion has a simple structure and can be easily installed on the filter support rod 14 or the support member 13. The limiting groove has a simple structure and can be easily installed on the filter support rod 14 or the support member 13. This arrangement simplifies the manufacturing difficulty of the filter support rod 14 and the support member 13 and helps to improve the production efficiency of the air conditioner indoor unit 100.

[0068] Furthermore, the reliable positioning of the limiting protrusion and the limiting groove can ensure the reliability of the positioning of the first limiting part 141 and the second limiting part 133. In this way, when the support member 13 is not in use, it can be ensured that the support member 13 is stably placed on the filter screen support rod 14, so as to ensure the stability of the support member 13.

[0069] Combination Figure 9 As shown, the limiting protrusion is provided with a guide arc surface 1331, which is guided and engaged with the limiting groove so as to guide and engage with the limiting groove when the limiting protrusion enters and exits the limiting groove.

[0070] Specifically, the limiting protrusion protrudes from the side of the support member 13, and a guide arc surface 1331 is provided on the limiting protrusion. When the second end 132 of the support member 13 rotates into the receiving groove, the guide arc surface 1331 can cooperate with the guide groove for limiting. This allows the limiting protrusion to quickly enter the limiting groove for limiting cooperation with the limiting groove.

[0071] Combination Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the support member 13 includes a connecting part 134 and a supporting part 135. The connecting part 134 and the supporting part 135 are connected to each other so that force is transmitted between the connecting part 134 and the supporting part 135, so as to realize the supporting function of the support member 13 on the panel 20.

[0072] Furthermore, the end of the connecting portion 134 away from the support portion 135 is rotatably connected to the housing 10, and the end of the support portion 135 away from the connecting portion 134 selectively abuts against the abutting protrusion 21 for support. The dimension of the connecting portion 134 in the left-right direction is larger than the dimension of the support portion 135 in the left-right direction.

[0073] Specifically, the connecting part 134 is used to connect with the filter screen support rod 14, and the first end 131 of the support member 13 is set on the connecting part 134. The end of the support member 135 away from the connecting part 134 is used to support the panel 20 when the panel 20 rotates forward and upward. In this way, the dimension of the connecting part 134 in the left and right direction is larger than the dimension of the support member 135 in the left and right direction. This ensures that the support member 135 meets the structural strength requirements for supporting the panel 20, and the structural strength of the connecting part 134 is greater than that of the support member 135. In this way, even when the support member 13 is subjected to a large force, the position where the support member 13 is connected to the filter screen support rod 14 can be prevented from being crushed, thereby improving the structural reliability of the connecting part 134 and helping to extend the service life of the support member 13.

[0074] Combination Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the support portion 135 is provided with reinforcing ribs 1351. Specifically, the reinforcing ribs 1351 not only strengthen the structural strength of the support member 13, but also reduce the processing material of the support portion 135 while ensuring that the support member 13 meets the strength requirements of the indoor unit 100 of the air conditioner. This not only improves the structural reliability of the support member 13 and helps to improve the stability of the panel 20 when it is in the preset position, but also reduces the manufacturing cost of the indoor unit 100 of the air conditioner.
