As shown in fig. 4, according to some embodiments of the present invention, a second indoor air inlet 1281 is provided on the casing 1, and the second indoor air inlet 1281 is in communication with the auxiliary air duct 22, wherein indoor air may also enter the auxiliary air duct 22 from the second indoor air inlet 1281, thereby increasing the air volume in the auxiliary air duct 22, and when the air outlet end of the main air duct 21 is air-out, the air flow in the auxiliary air duct 22 may be brought out of the auxiliary air duct 22, thereby increasing the air outlet of the air outlet 1231, so that the cooling or heating effect of the air-conditioning indoor unit 100 is better.
In some embodiments of the present invention, the casing 1 is provided with a first switch door for opening or closing the second indoor air inlet 1281, so that when the first switch door opens the second indoor air inlet 1281, air flow can flow from the second indoor air inlet 1281 to the auxiliary air duct 22, when the first switch door closes the second indoor air inlet 1281, the first switch door can shield the second indoor air inlet 1281, thereby protecting the inner part of the casing 1 from dust and the like entering the casing 1 and damaging the inner part of the casing 1, and the first switch door can also prevent a user from extending his/her hand into the casing 1 through the second indoor air inlet 1281.
According to some embodiments of the present invention, as shown in fig. 2, there may be two indoor heat exchangers 4, and the two indoor heat exchangers 4 are respectively disposed at the left and right sides of the air duct member 2, so that one indoor heat exchanger 4 may be disposed at each of the first indoor air inlet 1211 of the left side wall 121 and the first indoor air inlet 1211 of the right side wall 122 of the casing 1, thereby increasing the heat exchange area, improving the cooling or heating capacity, and enabling more cold air flow or hot air flow to enter the room, thereby improving the cooling or heating performance of the air conditioner indoor unit 100.
In some embodiments of the present invention, as shown in fig. 2, the housing 12 may include a front panel 123 and a rear panel 128, a plurality of air outlets are disposed on the front panel 123 at intervals in an up-down direction, the front panel 123 and the rear panel 128 are disposed at opposite ends of the main body frame 11, and the rear panel 128 is provided with a second indoor air inlet 1281.
The air conditioner according to the embodiment of the present invention includes the air conditioner indoor unit 100 according to the above.
According to the air conditioner of the embodiment of the invention, the air duct shell 24 is rotatably arranged in the shell 1, so that the air duct shell 24 can be positioned at different positions in the shell 1, and air flows can flow out of the inner space of the air duct shell 24 from different angles through different positions of the air duct shell 24 in the shell 1, therefore, the air outlet direction of the air duct shell 24 can be adjusted through the rotation of the air duct shell 24 in the shell 1, and further, different air outlet demands of users are met. The first driving components 5 and the main fans 23 are arranged in one-to-one correspondence to drive the main fans 23 to rotate independently, the second driving components 6 and the air duct shells 24 are respectively in one-to-one correspondence to drive the air duct shells 24 to rotate independently, the main fans 23 can work partially, the main fans 23 cannot work partially, the air duct shells 24 can rotate independently, the air duct shells 24 can work partially, and the air duct shells 24 cannot work partially. Thereby the air output can be adjusted according to the user demand.
