The indoor unit of the air conditioner provided by the embodiment has a water washing function. The indoor unit of the air conditioner can be an indoor unit of a split air conditioner, such as a floor type air conditioner and a wall-mounted air conditioner, or an indoor unit of an integrated air conditioner. Such as window air conditioners, mobile air conditioners, etc.

As shown in fig. 1 to 4, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides an air conditioner indoor unit including a cabinet 10, a water tank 20, a detection part, and a fixing part. The water tank 20 can be drawn in the casing 10 for holding water. Whether can not only detect water tank 20 and be taken out through detecting element, and can also cooperate with fixed part to under the condition that detects water tank 20 and taken out, drive water tank 20 through fixed part and reset, play the purpose of preventing the deviate from, make water tank 20 by the accident automatic locking when taking out, avoid taking place unnecessary danger.

A housing 10 configured with a receiving chamber; the water tank 20 is arranged in the accommodating cavity and slides along the first direction to draw out or push in the accommodating cavity; a detecting part provided at an outer sidewall of the water tank 20 for detecting whether the water tank 20 is drawn; and the fixing part is arranged on the outer side wall of the water tank 20 and is matched with the detection part to drive the water tank 20 to reset under the condition that the detection part detects that the water tank 20 is drawn.

By adopting the air conditioner indoor unit provided by the embodiment of the disclosure, the water tank 20 is arranged in the shell 10, so that the air conditioner indoor unit has the functions of washing and purifying; whether can not only detect water tank 20 by the drawing through detecting part, and can also cooperate with fixed part to under the circumstances that detects water tank 20 and draw, drive water tank 20 through the fixed part and reset, play the purpose of preventing the deviate from, make water tank 20 by the automatic locking when unexpected drawing, avoid taking place unnecessary danger.

The receiving chamber of the cabinet 10 is of a side opening structure, and the water tank 20 slides in a first direction to be drawn out of or pushed into the receiving chamber of the cabinet 10. The first direction may be transverse. I.e., the water tank 20 is drawn transversely to the cabinet 10.

The detection component is arranged on the outer side wall of the water tank 20, and can trigger the fixing component under the condition that the water tank 20 is drawn, so that the fixing component acts, the water tank 20 is driven to reset, and the detection component is automatically locked, thereby avoiding unnecessary danger.

The circuit of the fixing part is in a normally-off state, and is triggered to be electrified and operated only when the detecting part detects that the water tank 20 is drawn, so that electricity can be saved, and the use cost of the air conditioner indoor unit can be reduced.

The fixing component in this embodiment not only can play a role in driving the water tank 20 to reset, but also can give an alarm to prompt the user that the water tank 20 is accidentally drawn.

In addition, the alarm can be displayed as well as prompted by sound. Illustratively, the alarm is given if the tank 20 is drawn, the user knows, and the alarm sound is removed to prevent affecting others. If the water tank 20 is separated from the casing 10 due to accidental drawing, the fixing component can not play a role of resetting the water tank 20, and still can prompt the user that the water tank 20 is not reset under the condition of eliminating the alarm sound through the display function, and please reset the water tank 20.

Optionally, the detecting means includes: a magnet 30 provided on the outer side wall of the water tank 20; the magnetically sensitive switch 40 is arranged in the accommodating cavity and is positioned below the magnet; in the case that the magnet 30 is spaced apart from the magneto-sensitive switch 40 by a preset distance, the fixing member is triggered to drive the water tank 20 to be reset.

With the tank 20 and the cabinet 10 assembled in place, the magnet 30 and the magnetically sensitive switch 40 produce magnetic induction. When the water tank 20 is drawn, the magnet 30 is provided on the outer side wall of the water tank 20 and moves with the water tank 20. The magnet and the magneto-sensitive switch 40 are displaced until the magnet and the magneto-sensitive switch 40 are separated by a preset distance, and no magnetic induction exists between the magnet and the magneto-sensitive switch 40. At this time, the fixing member is triggered, and the water tank 20 is drawn to be reset.

Optionally, a magnet may be removably attached to the outer sidewall of the tank 20 for replacement and maintenance. The magnet may be provided at the bottom of the water tank 20 or at the side of the water tank 20.

The magnetically sensitive switch 40 is disposed in the receiving cavity and corresponds to the magnet so as to magnetically induce the magnet when the water tank 20 is assembled in place.

Optionally, in the case that the water tank 20 is assembled to the accommodating cavity of the casing 10, if the magnet protrudes out of the outer side wall of the water tank 20, the side wall of the accommodating cavity is set to avoid corresponding to the position of the magnet and the moving track area thereof, so as to prevent the magnet from interfering in the moving process and generating unnecessary loss.

As shown in fig. 1, the magnet in this embodiment is disposed at the bottom of the water tank 20, and the magnetically sensitive switch 40 is disposed below the water tank 20. And, in the area where the magnet is located, the bottom of the water tank 20 adopts a groove 101 structure so as to prevent the magnet from interfering with the inner wall of the accommodating cavity when moving along with the water tank 20 after the magnet is installed.

Optionally, the fixing member includes: an iron block 50 provided at an outer sidewall of the water tank 20; the electromagnet 60 is positioned in the accommodating cavity and is arranged corresponding to the iron block 50; the control module is respectively connected with the magnetically sensitive switch 40 and the electromagnet 60; in the case that the magnetically sensitive switch 40 triggers the control module, the control module controls the electromagnet 60 to be energized, so that the electromagnet 60 generates suction force on the iron block 50 and attracts the iron block 50, thereby resetting the water tank 20.

In this embodiment, the iron block 50 is disposed corresponding to the electromagnet 60, and after the electromagnet 60 is energized, suction force can be generated and the iron block 50 can be attracted. When the iron block 50 is disposed in the water tank 20 and the electromagnet 60 is disposed in the accommodating chamber, the electromagnet 60 attracts the iron block 50, i.e., the water tank 20 is fixed in the accommodating chamber, so that the water tank 20 can be locked.

When the water tank 20 is drawn, the magnetic induction is not generated between the magnet and the magnetic-sensitive switch 40, the magnetic-sensitive switch 40 triggers the control module, and the control module energizes the electromagnet 60, so that the electromagnet 60 generates suction force on the iron block 50 and adsorbs the iron block 50, and the drawn water tank 20 moves backwards until reset, namely, the water tank 20 and the machine shell 10 are assembled in place.

When the electromagnet 60 is not energized, there is no suction force between the electromagnet 60 and the iron block 50. When the magnetically sensitive switch 40 triggers the control module, the control module controls the electromagnet 60 to be electrified, and suction force is generated between the electromagnet 60 and the iron block 50, so that the water tank 20 is sucked back to the original position. Therefore, the power consumption of the fixed part can be saved, the cost of the air conditioner indoor unit in the use process is saved, and the user experience is improved.

Optionally, the iron block 50 is detachably attached to the outer sidewall of the water tank 20 for replacement and maintenance. The iron block 50 may be provided at the bottom of the water tank 20 or at the side of the water tank 20. In addition, the iron block 50 is detachably arranged on the outer side wall of the water tank 20, so that the iron block 50 is separated from the water tank 20 and the water tank 20 cannot be reset under the condition that the electromagnet 60 generates suction force on the iron block 50.

The attraction force generated by the electromagnet 60 to the iron block 50 is determined by various factors including the magnitude of the current, the size of the electromagnet 60, and the size of the iron block 50.

In practical applications, if the water tank 20 is pulled out rapidly and the tensile force applied is greater than the suction force applied by the electromagnet 60 to the iron block 50, the water tank 20 is pulled out. In this case, the control module will perform alarm processing.

Optionally, the control module further comprises: an alarm for alarming when the electromagnet 60 is powered to drive the water tank 20 to reset.

The alarm can prompt the user to pay attention to prevent hidden danger by alarming when the electromagnet 60 is electrified to drive the water tank 20 to reset. Wherein the alarm still alarms whether or not the electromagnet 60 can drive the water tank 20 to reset. However, the alarm sound in the case that the electromagnet 60 drives the water tank 20 to be reset successfully may be different from the alarm sound in the case that the electromagnet 60 drives the water tank 20 to be reset failed, which is helpful for the user to hear the sound to distinguish.

In addition, the alarm not only has the sound warning function, but also has the display prompt function. Especially in the case that the electromagnet 60 drives the water tank 20 to reset successfully, the user can be prompted for the situation that the water tank 20 is pulled through by displaying the prompting function, so that the purpose of warning is achieved.

Alternatively, in the case where the water tank 20 is mounted to the receiving chamber, the distance from the magnet to the opening of the receiving chamber is less than or equal to the distance from the iron piece 50 to the opening of the receiving chamber.

The distance from the magnet to the opening of the accommodating cavity is smaller than or equal to the distance from the iron block 50 to the opening of the accommodating cavity, namely, the iron block 50 is far away from the opening of the accommodating cavity relative to the magnet. Thus, when the water tank 20 is pulled, the iron block 50 is prevented from being pulled out of the accommodating cavity along with the water tank 20, and the suction force of the electromagnet 60 on the iron block 50 is weakened or eliminated due to external factors.

Alternatively, the mounting surface of the magnet on the water tank 20 is not the same as the mounting surface of the iron block 50 on the water tank 20. In this way, the iron block 50 and the magnetic switch 40 are prevented from generating magnetic induction in the moving process, so that the normal judgment of the control module of the fixed component is affected, and the resetting of the water tank 20 is further affected.

Optionally, an iron block 50 is provided on the back of the tank 20.

By providing the iron piece 50 on the back of the water tank 20, the iron piece 50 can be finally drawn out of the accommodating chamber in the case that the water tank 20 is drawn out. In this way, on the one hand, the suction force between the electromagnet 60 and the iron block 50 can be ensured as much as possible, and the water tank 20 is driven to reset in an effort, so that the iron block 50 is prevented from being drawn out of the accommodating cavity along with the water tank 20, and the suction force of the electromagnet 60 on the iron block 50 is weakened or eliminated due to external factors, so that the resetting of the water tank 20 is affected.

In addition, the iron piece 50 is provided at the back of the water tank 20, and in particular, the iron piece 50 is located at a back intermediate position of the water tank 20. In this way, when the water tank 20 is pulled by the suction force between the electromagnet 60 and the iron block 50, the water tank 20 can be stressed and balanced in the moving process, so that the water tank 20 is smooth in moving, and the blocking is avoided.

Optionally, a magnet is provided at the bottom of the water tank 20.

By locating the magnets at the bottom of the water tank 20, on the one hand, uniformity of the appearance of the water tank 20 is facilitated, and on the other hand, installation and use are facilitated. Particularly, in the case that the water tank 20 is pushed in or pulled out of the accommodating chamber of the casing 10, the magnet is prevented from interfering with the sidewall of the accommodating chamber.

Optionally, the water tank 20 includes: a housing 201 adapted to the opening of the receiving chamber; in the case that the water tank 20 is mounted in the receiving chamber, the outer surface of the housing 201 is flush with the outer surface of the casing 10 at the opening of the receiving chamber.

In the case that the water tank 20 is mounted in the receiving cavity of the cabinet 10, the housing 201 is exposed to the outside of the cabinet 10 so as to facilitate drawing of the water tank 20 for water injection.

The shell 201 of the water tank 20 is matched with the opening of the accommodating cavity, and under the condition that the water tank 20 is arranged in the accommodating cavity, the opening of the accommodating cavity can be closed through the shell 201, so that foreign matters can be prevented from entering the casing 10 from the opening of the accommodating cavity, and other parts are affected.

The outer surface of the shell 201 is flush with the outer surface of the casing 10 at the opening of the accommodating cavity, so that the appearance consistency of the air conditioner indoor unit is ensured, and the overall attractiveness of the air conditioner indoor unit is ensured.

It should be noted that, the outer surface of the housing 201 is flush with the outer surface of the casing 10 at the opening of the accommodating cavity, and it is understood that the outer surface of the housing 201 and the outer surface of the casing 10 are located in the same plane in the corresponding area.

Optionally, the cabinet 10 is configured with a groove 101 at an opening edge of the receiving chamber so as to separate the cabinet 10 and the housing 201, and withdraw the water tank 20.

The cabinet 10 is constructed with a groove 101 at an opening edge of the receiving chamber, and the cabinet 10 is in conformity with a surface of the housing 201 with the water tank 20 and the cabinet 10 assembled in place. The user can pull the housing 201 outwards through the groove 101, thereby realizing the pulling out of the water tank 20 from the accommodating cavity.

In addition, the groove 101 can ensure the consistency of the appearance of the casing 10 and the casing 201, and ensure the overall aesthetic degree of the indoor unit of the air conditioner.

Alternatively, the grooves 101 are arranged vertically, i.e. the length direction of the grooves 101 is vertical. Thus, the water tank 20 is pulled out of the accommodating chamber more conveniently and rapidly.

In practical applications, the length and the depth of the recess 101 may be determined according to practical situations, which are not limited herein.

Optionally, the housing 201 is configured with a window 202, the window 202 being used to view the amount of water in the tank 20.

The user can observe the water quantity in the water tank 20 through the window 202 of the housing 201.

Optionally, a scale is provided on the window 202 to allow the user to more clearly determine the water volume in the water tank 20, and to facilitate timely water filling.
