When the first air port 103 is located at the front end of the air duct 101, the air outlet directions of the first air port 103 and the second air port 104 are different, so that different directions of air outlet of the indoor unit of the air conditioner can be increased, and multiple air outlet modes can be realized.

Optionally, when the indoor unit of the air conditioner includes the first air duct 1011 and the second air duct 1012, the first side wall 20 corresponding to the first air duct 1011 is located at a side of the first air duct 1011 facing the second air duct 1012, and the first side wall 20 corresponding to the second air duct 1012 is located at a side of the second air duct 1012 facing the first air duct 1011.

In addition, the air conditioner indoor unit of the embodiment of the disclosure does not need to be provided with the front-back through air duct 101, so that the structural complexity of the air conditioner indoor unit is reduced, and the cost of the air conditioner is reduced.

Because the first air intake 1041 and the second air intake 1042 are disposed opposite to each other, when the first air intake 1041 and the second air intake 1042 are air-out, the indoor unit of the air conditioner can realize the aggregate air-out.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, the air outlet of the first air outlet 1031 faces the first air duct 1011 and faces away from the second air duct 1012, and the air outlet of the second air outlet 1032 faces the second air duct 1012 and faces away from the first air duct 1011. When the first and second outlets 1031 and 1032 discharge air, the indoor unit of the air conditioner can realize wide-angle air discharge. Since the second air port 104 can flow into the indoor air flow when the first air port 103 is out of the air, the indoor air conditioner can form wide-angle uniform air outlet when the first air port 1031 and the second air port 1032 are out of the air.

Optionally, when the first side plate 201 is located at the first position, a first end (corresponding to the rear end of the first side plate 201) of the first side plate 201 abuts against or is connected to a front end of the volute 203, a second end (corresponding to the front end of the first side plate 201) of the first side plate 201 is staggered with a rear end of the second side plate 202, an air inlet gap 1043 is formed between the second end of the first side plate 201 and the rear end of the second side plate 202, the air inlet gap 1043 is communicated with the second air inlet 104, and indoor air flows sequentially through the second air inlet 104 and the air inlet gap 1043 into the air duct 101.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, when the first side plate 201 is located at the first position, the first end of the first side plate 201 abuts against or is connected to the front end of the volute 203, that is, the first end of the first side plate 201 is located at the air inlet end of the second air port 104. Meanwhile, the second end of the first side plate 201 and the rear end of the second side plate 202 are staggered to form an air inlet gap 1043, so that the first side plate 201 can prevent heat exchange air flow in the air duct 101 from flowing out of the second air port 104, and meanwhile, the air inlet gap 1043 is communicated with the second air port 104 and the air duct 101, and when air flow flows in the air duct 101, negative pressure can be formed at the second air port 104, so that indoor air flow can flow into the air duct 101 from the second air port 104.

Alternatively, when the first side plate 201 is located at the first position, the first side plate 201 is inclined toward the inside of the air duct 101 in the rear-to-front direction. This can prevent the flow of the heat-exchanged air in the duct 101 from flowing out of the second air port 104, and can guide the flow of the indoor air flowing in from the second air port 104 to the first air port 103.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, the first end of the first side plate 201 and/or the second end of the first side plate 201 is connected to the driving device 40, so that the automatic movement of the first side plate 201 can be realized, so as to improve the accuracy of the movement of the first side plate 201.

It should be noted that: the first side plate 201 may be connected to the driving device 40 at only a first end or a second end, the first side plate 201 being also movable between a first position and a second position under the guidance of the first rail 501 and the second rail 502. This can reduce the cost. The first end and the second end of the first side plate 201 may also be connected to the driving device 40, which can increase the stability of the movement of the first side plate 201.

Optionally, the indoor unit of the air conditioner further includes a power rod 401, a first end of the power rod 401 is configured with a chute 402, and the first end and/or the second end of the first side plate 201 is movably located in the chute 402, and the second end of the power rod 401 is connected to the driving device 40, so that the driving device 40 can drive the first side plate 201 to move through the power rod 401.
