(33) The present disclosure provides an air conditioner indoor unit. As shown in
(34) Optionally, the fresh air module includes a fresh air shell (not shown) installed in a housing of the indoor unit, and a fresh air fan assembly (not shown) installed in the fresh air shell. The fresh air shell has a fresh air inlet and a fresh air outlet, and the fresh air inlet is connected to the outdoor, and the fresh air outlet is connected to the indoor. The fresh air inlet is in communication with the fresh air outlet, and the fresh air fan assembly is located between the fresh air inlet and the fresh air outlet to be configured to provide power for fresh air flow.
(35) It should be understood that the air conditioner indoor unit may be a cabinet machine, or a ceiling machine, or a wall-mounted air conditioner indoor unit, or a vertical air conditioner indoor unit, etc. Hereinafter, a wall-mounted air conditioner indoor unit will be described as an example, but it is not limited to the wall-mounted air conditioner indoor unit.
(36) In an embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in
(37) Specifically, the fresh air outlet 111 is an outlet for fresh air. The fresh air panel assembly 20 is mounted at the housing 10 to cover the fresh air outlet 111 to achieve dust prevention. Moreover, by providing the air outlet structure 211 corresponding to the fresh air outlet 111 on the fresh air panel assembly 20, the fresh air can be processed to meet different user requirements.
(38) In a specific embodiment, as shown in
(39) Specifically, the housing 10 includes a unit panel 11, and the fresh air outlet 111 is formed at the unit panel 11, and the fresh air panel assembly 20 is mounted at the unit panel 11.
(40) The present disclosure further improves the structural form of the fresh air panel assembly 20 itself and its installation method. Of course, the improvement of the two aspects can also be combined with each other. Specifically, for the fresh air panel assembly 20, the fresh air panel assembly 20 can be configured as an integrated structure, and the structure is directly mounted at the housing 10. Alternatively, the fresh air panel assembly 20 includes a fresh air panel 21 and a mounting plate 22 that are separately disposed, the fresh air panel 21 is mounted at the mounting plate 22, and the mounting plate 22 and/or the fresh air panel 21 are mounted at the housing 10. For the installation manner of the fresh air panel assembly 20, the fresh air panel assembly 20 is disposed at the fresh air outlet 111 in an openable manner. Alternatively, the fresh air panel assembly 20 is non-detachably covered at the fresh air vent 111. The description will be made separately or in combination below.
(41) It should be noted that the fresh air panel assembly 20 can be configured as a regular shape structure, such as a rectangular structure, a square structure, or a waist structure. As such, the design, fabrication, and assembly of the fresh air panel assembly 20 can be facilitated. Of course, the fresh air panel assembly 20 can also be configured as an irregular shape structure.
(42) In order to facilitate the description of the snap structure between the fresh air panel 21 and the mounting plate 22, the following description will be made of the fresh air panel assembly 20 being a rectangular structure or a rectangular-like structure. Alternatively, the fresh air panel 21 and the mounting plate 22 hereinafter are both rectangular structures or rectangular-like structures.
(43) The case where the fresh air panel assembly 20 includes the fresh air panel 21 and the mounting panel 22 that are separately disposed will be specifically described below.
(44) Further, as shown in
(45) During the production process, after the initial production of the fresh air panel assembly 20 (such as after demoulding), its appearance does not meet the standard and cannot be directly applied to the product. In this way, different parts of the fresh air panel assembly 20 need to be processed differently to meet the design requirements. For example, the inner and outer surfaces of the fresh air panel assembly 20 need to be sprayed, and the periphery thereof needs to be plated. However, in the present disclosure, by providing the fresh air panel 21 and the mounting plate 22 that are separately assembled, the fresh air panel 21 may be subjected to a spraying process, and the mounting plate 22 is subjected to a plating process. Optionally, a spraying process is performed on the surface of the fresh air panel 21, such as spraying an ash gold on the surface of the fresh air panel 21. A plating process is performed on the periphery of the mounting plate 22, such as plating a mocha gold on the periphery of the mounting plate 22.
(46) It should be understood that, in the present disclosure, the fresh air panel 21 and the mounting plate 22 can be separately processed when the fresh air panel assembly 20 includes the fresh air panel 21 and the mounting panel 22 that are separately connected to each other, to simplify the processing of fresh air panel assembly 20 and improve production efficiency while meeting different design requirements.
(47) It should be particularly noted that when the fresh air panel assembly 20 includes the fresh air panel 21 and the mounting panel 22 that are separately connected to each other, the fresh air panel assembly 20 may be disposed at the fresh air outlet 111 in an openable manner, or may be non-detachably (e.g., welded, etc.) covered at the fresh air outlet 111.
(48) Of course, in other improvement points, the fresh air panel assembly 20 can also be provided as an integrated structure.
(49) Further, the fresh air panel assembly 20 is fitted to the surface of the mounting panel 22 towards the surface of the mounting panel 22. As such, the gap between the fresh air panel 21 and the mounting plate 22 can be made small, even absent, so that abnormal sounds caused by air leakage can be avoided.
(50) Further, as shown in
(51) As such, the air outlet structure may be positioned outside the vent by installing the fresh air panel on the outer surface of the mounting plate, thereby facilitating the air outlet structure to supply air to the room.
(52) Further, as shown in
(53) As such, when the mounting plate 22 includes a base plate 222 and a decorative side plate 223 both disposed at an outer surface of the base plate 222, a mounting space may be formed between the base plate 222 and the decorative side plate 223. When the fresh air panel 21 is mounted at the outer surface of the base plate 222 and on the inner side of the decorative side plate 223, the fresh air plate 21 is installed in the mounting space so that the fresh air panel 21 can be shielded.
(54) Specifically, the decorative side plate 223 is disposed at an edge of the base plate 222. As such, it is convenient to reduce the size of the mounting plate 22.
(55) Specifically, the side edge of the fresh air panel 21 is disposed near the decorative side plate 223. In this way, the compactness of the assembly between the fresh air panel 21 and the mounting plate 22 can be improved, and the design rationality can be improved, that is, the miniaturization and rational design of the fresh air panel assembly 20 can be realized.
(56) Specifically, the decorative side plate 223 can be subjected to a plating process. Thus, by providing the decorative side plate 223, the peripheral edge of the mounting plate 22 can be easily plated, and the plating effect can be easily exhibited.
(57) Further, as shown in
(58) The following describes the snap structure between the fresh air panel 21 and the mounting plate 22 in detail; it can be understood that the snap structure between the fresh air panel 21 and the mounting panel 22 is not limited thereto.
(59) The snap structure includes a clamp structure. Specifically, as shown in
(60) Further, as shown in
(61) As shown in
(62) Specifically, the clamp groove 2123 includes an inlet; as shown in
(63) As such, the fresh air panel 21 and the mounting plate 22 can be connected simply and conveniently through the above structural arrangement.
(64) Further, as shown in
(65) Further, as shown in
(66) Further, as shown in
(67) Further, the clamp protrusion 212 may be regularly distributed; thus, the design and fabrication of the fresh air panel 21 may be facilitated.
(68) Further, as shown in
(69) Further, the two rows of clamp protrusions 212 are disposed at opposite sides of the fresh air panel 21 respectively. In this way, the clamp protrusion 212 can be prevented from interfering with other structures such as the air outlet structure 211, thereby facilitating the miniaturization design of the fresh air panel 21.
(70) Specifically, two rows of clamp protrusions 212 are disposed at the two long sides of the fresh air panel 21 respectively. The corresponding holes 224 are also provided in two rows, and are disposed at the two long sides of the mounting plate 22 respectively. By providing the latching structure of the clamp protrusion 212 and the clamp hole 224 on the long side of the fresh air panel assembly 20, the connection strength and stability of the long side of the fresh air panel 21 and the long side of the mounting plate 22 can be easily improved, further, it is advantageous to improve the connection strength and stability of the fresh air panel 21 and the mounting plate 22.
(71) It can be understood that the orientations of the entrances of the clamp groove 2123 formed by the plurality of protrusions 212 should be consistent to ensure uniformity of assembly, thereby simplifying the assembly process.
(72) Further, the latch protrusion 2241 is extended along a length direction of the fresh air panel assembly 20. As such, driving the fresh air panel 21 and the mounting plate 22 to move relative to each other along a length direction of the fresh air panel assembly 20, so that the latch protrusion 2241 can be moved into the clamp groove 2123 via the entrance of the clamp groove 2123. Of course, the latch protrusion 2241 can also be extended in other direction.
(73) Further, as shown in
(74) It should be understood that in a specific embodiment, the thickness of the fresh air panel 21 and the mounting plate 22 are both thin, and the structural strength of the components such as the snap structure is also weak, if it is repeatedly removed, it is easily damaged. Therefore, if the snap structure between the fresh air panel 21 and the mounting plate 22 is designed as a detachable structure, it is easy for the user to damage the fresh air panel assembly 20 during the disassembly process. However, in the present disclosure, by providing the anti-falling protrusion 213 in combination with the anti-falling groove 225, the snap structure between the fresh air panel 21 and the mounting plate 22 can be made into a detachable or non-removable structure, thereby reducing the risk of damage of the fresh air panel assembly 20. Moreover, it can prevent mis-disassembly (i.e.: when the fresh air panel assembly 20 needs to be detached from the housing 10, the fresh air panel 21 or the mounting plate 22 is mistakenly removed).
(75) Specifically, as shown in
(76) Further, as shown in
(77) It can be understood that since the fresh air panel 21 and the mounting plate 22 are installed in a sliding fit, when initially positioned (i.e., when the clamp protrusion 212 protrudes into the mounting gap of the clamp hole 224), there is a misalignment between the anti-falling protrusion 213 and the anti-falling groove. If the alignment groove 226 is not provided, the anti-falling protrusion 213 directly abuts against the outer surface of the mounting plate 22, thereby increasing the difficulty of installation between the fresh air panel 21 and the mounting plate 22.
(78) In the present disclosure, by providing the alignment groove 226, when initially positioned (i.e., when the clamp protrusion 212 protrudes into the mounting gap of the clamp hole 224), the anti-falling protrusion 213 is inserted in the alignment protrusion, so that the fresh air panel 21 and the mounting plate 22 can be easily aligned, thereby reducing the difficulty of installation between the fresh air panel 21 and the mounting plate 22. Then, when the fresh air panel 21 and the mounting plate 22 move relative to each other, the anti-falling protrusion 213 slides from the alignment groove 226 to the anti-falling groove 225, thereby completing the mounting between the fresh air panel 21 and the mounting plate 22.
(79) In a specific embodiment, further improvement can be made on the alignment groove 226 and/or the anti-falling protrusion 213 to facilitate guiding the anti-falling protrusion 213 to slide from the alignment groove 226 to the anti-falling groove 225, which will be specifically described below.
(80) Specifically, as shown in
(81) Optionally, the guiding inner wall surface 2261 is inclined towards the anti-falling groove 225. As such, the guiding effect can be enhanced.
(82) Specifically, when the anti-falling protrusion 213 is disposed into the anti-falling groove 225, the anti-falling protrusion 213 has a guiding outer side wall (not shown) away from the alignment groove 226. At least a part of the guiding outer side wall is inclined towards the alignment groove 226. As such, the anti-falling protrusion 213 can be easily guided to slide from the alignment groove 226 to the anti-falling groove 225.
(83) Optionally, the guiding outer side wall is inclined towards the alignment groove 226. As such, the guiding effect can be enhanced.
(84) Specifically, a depth of the alignment groove 226 is less than a depth of the anti-falling groove 225. As such, the anti-falling protrusion 213 can be further easily guided to slide from the alignment groove 226 to the anti-falling groove 225.
(85) Further, as shown in
(86) Specifically, the extension direction of the anti-falling protrusion 213 and the relative movement direction of the fresh air panel 21 and the mounting plate 22 form an angle. The angle is usually set to 90 degrees, or close to 90 degrees. In this way, the relative movement distance of the fresh air panel 21 and the mounting panel 22 when installed can be reduced, thereby not only simplifying the assembly process, but also achieving a compact design.
(87) Optionally, the anti-falling protrusion 213 is extended along a width direction of the fresh air panel assembly 20.
(88) Further, as shown in
(89) Specifically, the hook 214 is disposed near the edge of the fresh air panel 21; thus, it is advantageous to realize a compact design.
(90) Further, as shown in
(91) Further, as shown in
(92) Optionally, the hook 214 is disposed at a short side of the fresh air panel 21. As such, the latching structure of the hook 214 and the one side of the mounting plate 22 can be better matched with the latching structure of the clamp protrusion 212 and the clamp hole 224. Therefore, the connection of the fresh air panel 21 and the mounting plate 22 is realized in a multi-point/multi-directional manner, so that the connection strength and stability of the fresh air panel 21 and the mounting plate 22 can be improved.
(93) Further, the inner side surface of the fresh air panel 21 is further provided with an abutting protrusion 216 near the clamp protrusion 212, and one side of the mounting plate 22 abuts against the abutting protrusion 216. Specifically, the abutting protrusion 216 is disposed at a short side of the fresh air panel 21.
(94) Specifically, as shown in
(95) Further, as shown in
(96) Specifically, as shown in
(97) Specifically, as shown in
(98) Specifically, as shown in
(99) It should be particularly noted that, through the above structural arrangement, the connection between the fresh air panel 21 and the mounting plate 22 becomes difficult to remove or undetachable, thereby reducing the risk of the user damaging the fresh air panel assembly 20. Moreover, it can prevent mis-disassembly.
(100) Further, as shown in
(101) Of course, when the length of the fresh air panel assembly 20 is short, it can also be set to be non-bending, that is, or substantially flat.
(102) The case where the fresh air panel assembly 20 may be disposed at the fresh air outlet 111 in an openable manner will be specifically described below.
(103) Further, as shown in
(104) Specifically, the fresh air panel assembly 20 has at least a blowing state of covering the fresh air vent 111 and a cleaning state of opening the fresh air vent 111. In the blowing state, the air outlet structure 211 corresponds to the fresh air vent 111 to supply air to the room. In the cleaning state, the fresh air panel assembly 20 and/or the fresh air vent 111 may be cleaned.
(105) As such, in the present disclosure, the fresh air panel assembly 20 is disposed at the fresh air outlet 111 in an openable manner, the fresh air panel assembly 20 is opened to perform cleaning processing on the fresh air panel assembly 20, thereby simplifying the cleaning process of the fresh air panel assembly 20 and improving cleaning efficiency.
(106) It should be particularly noted that when the fresh air panel assembly 20 is disposed at the fresh air outlet 111 in an openable manner, the fresh air panel assembly 20 may be an integrated structure or may include the fresh air panel 21 and the mounting plate 22 that are separately disposed.
(107) In a specific embodiment, there are many structural forms for realizing that the the fresh air panel assembly 20 is disposed at the fresh air outlet 111 in an openable manner, and the following examples are explained. However, it should be noted that those skilled in the art will readily appreciate further implementations in light of the present disclosure.
(108) Further, as shown in
(109) As such, the fresh air panel assembly 20 is detachably connected to the housing 10, upon cleaning, the fresh air panel assembly 20 can be removed from the housing 10 to detach the fresh air panel assembly 20 from the housing 10. Therefore, not only the cleaning of the fresh air panel assembly 20 is not limited by the position, thereby improving the convenience and safety for the user to clean the fresh air panel assembly 20, but also it is possible to prevent the fresh air panel assembly 20 from interfering with the cleaning at the fresh air vent 111, thereby improving the convenience of cleaning at the fresh air vent 111.
(110) In a specific embodiment, the structure for realizing the detachable connection between the fresh air panel assembly 20 and the housing 10 may include one or more of a screw structure, a snap structure, a magnetic structure, and the like. The detachable connection between the fresh air panel assembly 20 and the housing 10 is realized by the snap structure, so that the connection between the fresh air panel assembly 20 and the housing 10 can be made simple and convenient.
(111) In the air conditioner indoor unit 100 according to a first embodiment of the present disclosure, the fresh air panel assembly 20 is connected to the housing 10 through the snap structure, the details are described below.

(116) It can be understood that the shell wall of the housing 10 (i.e., the unit panel 11) has a certain thickness. When the thickness of the shell wall where the slot 112 is formed is thin, the insertion member 2292 can be inserted inside the shell wall, so that the slot periphery of the slot 112 is interposed between the insertion member 2292 and the fresh air panel 21. When the thickness of the shell wall where the slot 112 is formed is thick, the receiving groove can be formed on the side wall of the slot 112. The insertion member 2292 is inserted in the receiving groove to ensure that the slot periphery of the slot 112 is interposed between the insertion member 2292 and the fresh air panel 21.
(117) As such, by placing the tongue 229 on the inner surface of the fresh air panel assembly 20 and fully inserting the tongue 229 into the slot 112, the mating structure of the tongue 229 and the slot 112 can be prevented from interfering with the cooperation of the fresh air panel assembly 20 at other parts between the housings 10. Further, it is advantageous to improve the sealing between the fresh air panel assembly 20 and the housing 10 to avoid generation of abnormal sounds and condensation. In addition, it is also convenient to hide the tongue 229 and the slot 112, so that not only dust can be prevented, but also the aesthetics of the air conditioner indoor unit 100 can be improved.
