Referring to fig. 1 to 4, an indoor unit 100 of an air conditioner is provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure, and the air conditioner includes the indoor unit 100 and an outdoor unit, where the indoor unit 100 and the outdoor unit are connected by a connecting pipe, so as to realize circulation of a refrigerant between the indoor unit 100 and the outdoor unit, thereby realizing normal cooling or heating of the air conditioner.

The indoor unit 100 includes a casing 10, a heat exchanger and a fan, the casing 10 defines an air outlet duct and is provided with an air inlet 101 and an air outlet communicated with the air outlet duct, and the heat exchanger and the fan are located in the air outlet duct. Under the drive of the fan, air enters the air channel through the air inlet 101, exchanges heat with the heat exchanger and then flows out of the air outlet, and therefore refrigeration or heating of the air conditioner is achieved.

The indoor unit 100 further includes a shielding plate and a driver 60.

As shown in fig. 3, the intake vent 101 includes a first intake area 102 and a second intake area 103.

The air inlet 101 is divided into a first air inlet area 102 and a second air inlet area 103, and a first shielding plate 201 and a second shielding plate 202 are respectively used for opening or shielding the first air inlet area 102 and the second air inlet area 103.

The air inlet is provided with a filter screen for filtering the air entering the indoor unit from the air inlet. When the first shielding plate 201 and the second shielding plate 202 shield the first air inlet area 102 and the second air inlet area 103 respectively, foreign matters such as dust can be prevented from entering the air inlets from the first air inlet area 102 and the second air inlet area 103, so that dust can be prevented from being adhered to the interior of the filter screen or the indoor unit, and the health of the user using the air conditioner is improved.

The air inlet can be not provided with a grille, so that when the first air inlet area 102 and the second air inlet area 103 are respectively opened by the first shielding plate 201 and the second shielding plate 202, the maximum air inlet volume of the air inlet can be realized, and the grille is prevented from influencing the air inlet volume of the air inlet.

The first air intake area 102 and the second air intake area 103 may be sequentially arranged along the length direction of the air intake 101, may be sequentially arranged along the width direction of the air intake 101, or may be sequentially arranged along other directions except the length direction or the width direction.

The driver 60 drives the first shutter 201 and the second shutter 202 to move synchronously. When the air inlet 101 needs to be opened, the driver 60 drives the first shielding plate 201 to move towards opening the first air inlet area 102, and synchronously drives the second shielding plate 202 to move towards opening the second air inlet area 103. When the air inlet 101 needs to be closed, the driver 60 drives the first shielding plate 201 to move towards the closing of the first air inlet area 102, and synchronously drives the second shielding plate 202 to move towards the closing of the second air inlet area 103.

Due to the synchronous movement of the first shielding plate 201 and the second shielding plate 202, the speed of opening or closing the air inlet 101 can be increased, and the user experience can be improved.

Optionally, as shown in fig. 1, the indoor unit 100 further includes a first connection block 30 and a second connection block 40.

The first connecting block 30 is connected between the driver 60 and the first shielding plate 201, and the driver 60 drives the first connecting block 30 to move relative to the first air intake area 102, so as to drive the first shielding plate 201 to move relative to the first air intake area 102.

The second connecting block 40 is connected between the driver 60 and the second shielding plate 202, and the driver 60 drives the second connecting block 40 to move relative to the second air intake area 103, so as to drive the second shielding plate 202 to move relative to the second air intake area 103.

The driver 60 is in driving connection with the first shielding plate 201 through the first connecting block 30, the driver 60 drives the first connecting block 30 to move towards the direction of opening or closing the first air inlet area 102, and correspondingly drives the first shielding plate 201 to move towards the direction of opening or closing the first air inlet area 102.

The driver 60 is in driving connection with the second shielding plate 202 through the second connecting block 40, the driver 60 drives the second connecting block 40 to move towards the direction of opening or closing the second air inlet area 103, and correspondingly drives the second shielding plate 202 to move towards the direction of opening or closing the second air inlet area 103.

The first connecting block 30 and the second connecting block 40 are provided, so that the driver 60 can be in driving connection with the first shielding plate 201 and the second shielding plate 202 at the same time.

Optionally, as shown in fig. 1, the indoor unit 100 further includes a connecting member 50, the first connecting block 30 and the second connecting block 40 are both connected to the connecting member 50, the connecting member 50 is drivingly connected to the driver 60, and the driver 60 drives the first connecting block 30 and the second connecting block 40 to move synchronously through the connecting member 50.

The driver 60 drives the connecting member 50 to move, and the connecting member 50 drives the first connecting block 30 and the second connecting block 40 to move relative to the air inlet 101 synchronously, specifically, the first connecting block 30 moves relative to the first air inlet area 102, and the second connecting block 40 moves relative to the second air inlet area 103.

The connecting element 50 connects the first connecting block 30 and the second connecting block 40, and the driver 60 drives the first connecting block 30 and the second connecting block 40 synchronously via the connecting element 50.

Alternatively, the connecting member 50 is in a ring shape, and the driver 60 is used for driving the connecting member 50 to rotate around the center of the ring shape; the first and second connection blocks 30 and 40 are connected to opposite sidewalls of the connection member 50, respectively. For example, the connecting member 50 includes a first side wall 501 and a second side wall 502 which are oppositely disposed, the first connecting block 30 is disposed on the first side wall 501, and the second connecting block 40 is disposed on the second side wall 502.

The driver 60 rotates the link 50 around the center of the link 50 so that the opposite sidewalls (the first sidewall 501 and the second sidewall 502) of the link 50 move in opposite directions, and the first link block 30 and the second link block 40 are connected to the first sidewall 501 and the second sidewall 502, respectively. When the driver 60 drives the connecting member 50 to rotate, the first side wall 501 and the second side wall 502 move in opposite directions to drive the first connecting block 30 and the second connecting block 40 to move in opposite directions, so that the first connecting block 30 and the second connecting block 40 can drive the first shutter and the second shutter to move in opposite directions, respectively. Thus, when the first shielding member and the second shielding member move back to the back, the first shielding member and the second shielding member can jointly open the air inlet 101 (the first shielding plate 201 and the second shielding plate 202 respectively open the first air inlet area 102 and the second air inlet area 103); when the two move towards each other, the air inlet 101 can be closed together (the first shielding plate 201 and the second shielding plate 202 close the first air inlet area 102 and the second air inlet area 103, respectively).

The drive 60 comprises an electric motor or motor and the link 50 may be a conveyor belt or a conveyor chain.

The driver 60 further comprises a driving wheel, the driving wheel is in transmission fit with the connecting piece 50, the driving wheel is arranged on the inner side of the connecting piece 50, the motor or the motor is connected with the driving wheel and drives the driving wheel to rotate, and the rotating wheel drives the connecting piece 50 to rotate.

The number of the drivers 60 is plural, and the plural drivers 60 are sequentially arranged along the circumferential direction of the link 50 so that the respective positions in the circumferential direction of the transmission member can be smoothly moved. As shown in fig. 1, the connecting member 50 further includes a third sidewall 503 and a fourth sidewall 504, the third sidewall 503 and the fourth sidewall 504 are oppositely disposed, the third sidewall 503 is connected between one end of the first sidewall 501 and one end of the second sidewall 502, the fourth sidewall 504 is connected between the other end of the first sidewall 501 and the other end of the second sidewall 502, the number of the drivers 60 is two, and the two drivers 60 are respectively disposed at the third sidewall 503 and the fourth sidewall 504.

Optionally, the first sidewall 501, the second sidewall 502 and the shielding plate are arranged in sequence. As shown in fig. 1, the first side wall 501, the second side wall 502, and the shielding plate are arranged in this order from the front to the rear.

In other words, the first side wall 501 and the second side wall 502 are located at one side of the first air inlet region 102 and the second air inlet region 103, so that the connecting member 50 (the first side wall 501 and the second side wall 502) is prevented from occupying the area of the air inlet 101, the arrangement of the driver 60 is facilitated, and the driver 60 is prevented from being located in the air inlet 101 and being inconvenient for fixing the driver 60.

The connecting member 50 is located at one side of the intake vent 101 and extends along the length direction of the intake vent 101, as shown in fig. 1, and the connecting member 50 is located at the front side of the intake vent 101. It is understood that the connection member 50 may also extend along the width direction of the intake vent 101, i.e. at the left or right side of the intake vent 101.

Optionally, the first connecting block 30 is provided with an avoidance groove avoiding the second sidewall 502.

The first connecting block 30 crosses the second sidewall 502 and then is connected to the first shielding plate 201, so that the second connecting block 40 is provided with an avoiding groove for avoiding the second sidewall 502, and the second connecting block 40 is prevented from influencing the driver 60 to drive the second sidewall 502 to move.

Alternatively, at the position where the first and second shielding plates 201 and 202 close the first and second air intake areas 102 and 103, respectively, the first and second connection blocks 30 and 40 are sequentially disposed in the direction from the first shielding plate 201 to the second shielding plate 202.

In this embodiment, when the driver 60 drives the first side wall 501 and the second side wall 502 to move away from each other, the first connecting block 30 moves away from the second connecting block 40 (i.e., the first connecting block 30 moves to the right in fig. 1), and the second connecting block 40 moves away from the first connecting block 30 (i.e., the second connecting block 40 moves to the left in fig. 1). The first and second connecting blocks 30 and 40 are sequentially arranged in a direction from the first shielding plate 201 to the second shielding plate 202, so that the first connecting block 30 does not interfere with the second connecting block 40 at all times during movement.

Alternatively, the first shielding plate 201 may be a folding plate, and the opening or closing of the first air intake region 102 is achieved by folding or unfolding.

The other end of the first sub-folding plate 203 is rotatably connected to another first folding plate adjacent to the first sub-folding plate 203. When the first connecting block 30 drives the first folding plate to move toward a direction of opening the first air inlet area 102, the first sub-folding plate 203 rotates around the first rotating shaft relative to the second sub-folding plate 204, so as to fold between the first sub-folding plate 203 and the second sub-folding plate 204.

Or two adjacent first folding plates are connected in a sliding mode. One of the adjacent first folding plates slides relative to the other in the folding direction so that one at least partially overlaps the other.

For convenience of description, two adjacent first folding plates may be named as a first sub-folding plate 203 and a second sub-folding plate 204, the first sub-folding plate 203 and the second sub-folding plate 204 are slidably connected, and the sliding direction is a folding direction, so that when the first connecting block 30 drives the first sub-folding plate 203 to move toward a direction for opening the first air intake region 102, the first sub-folding plate 203 slides relative to the second sub-folding plate 204 along the sliding direction, and the first sub-folding plate 203 slides below or above the second sub-folding plate 204, thereby opening the first air intake region 102.

It is understood that the first shielding plate 201 may be opened or shielded by winding or releasing the first air intake region 102 on or from the rotating shaft instead of the folding plate.

Alternatively, the second shielding plate 202 may be a folding plate, and the second air intake area 103 is opened or closed by folding or unfolding.

For convenience of description, as shown in fig. 1 and 3, two adjacent second folding plates may be named as a third sub-folding plate 205 and a fourth sub-folding plate 206, respectively, and one end of the third sub-folding plate 205 is rotatably connected to the fourth sub-folding plate 206 by a second rotating shaft perpendicular to the folding direction. The other end of the third sub-folding plate 205 is rotatably connected to another second folding plate adjacent to the third sub-folding plate 205. When the second connecting block 40 drives the second folding plate to move toward the direction of opening the second air intake area 103, the third sub-folding plate 205 rotates around the second rotation axis relative to the fourth sub-folding plate 206, so as to fold between the third sub-folding plate 205 and the fourth sub-folding plate 206.

Or two adjacent second folding plates are connected in a sliding way. One of the two adjacent second folding plates is slid relative to the other in the folding direction so that one at least partially overlaps the other.

For convenience of description, two adjacent second folding plates may be named as a third sub-folding plate 205 and a fourth sub-folding plate 206, the third sub-folding plate 205 and the fourth sub-folding plate 206 are slidably connected, and the sliding direction is a folding direction, so that when the second connection block 40 drives the third sub-folding plate 205 to move toward a direction of opening the second air intake region 103, the third sub-folding plate 205 slides relative to the fourth sub-folding plate 206 along the sliding direction, and the third sub-folding plate 205 slides below or above the fourth sub-folding plate 206, thereby opening the second air intake region 103.

It is understood that the second shielding plate 202 may be implemented by winding or releasing the second air intake area 103 on or from the rotating shaft instead of the folding plate.

Optionally, the first shielding plate 201 is slidably connected to the housing 10, so that the first shielding plate 201 can smoothly move relative to the first air intake area 102; and/or the second shielding plate 202 is slidably connected with the housing 10, so that the second shielding plate 202 can smoothly move relative to the second air intake area 103.
