Air conditioner

Technical Field

The invention relates to the technical field of air conditioners, in particular to an air conditioner.

Background

Cleaning and maintenance of air conditioners has long been a problem that is not readily addressed by the industry. In particular to a floor cabinet air conditioner, because the floor cabinet air conditioner has larger volume and is usually fixedly connected between a whole panel assembly and a shell of the cabinet air conditioner, the panel assembly needs to be detached integrally when an air duct assembly and an electric control assembly in the cabinet air conditioner are cleaned or maintained; if the fan blade is required to be disassembled and washed, the air duct assembly is required to be disassembled entirely, the whole process is time-consuming and labor-consuming, professional personnel are usually required to operate, and the cleaning and maintenance of the inner assembly of the cabinet air conditioner are inconvenient for users.

Patent document CN207486976U discloses a novel cabinet air conditioner. The panel assembly and the inner frame are provided with the convex-concave suspension parts and the sinking grooves, so that the panel assembly of the cabinet machine is quickly disassembled.

Patent document CN107842926a discloses a novel cabinet air conditioner.
