  • the Document CN 200 982 711 Y relates to a wood hanging type air conditioner indoor set comprising a base, arranged with a movement, a casting, a panel, openings at both ends of the casing, wherein a panel is arranged on the upper port, the periphery comprises opposite two sides panels, an air inlet panel with air inlet and an air outlet panel with air outlet connected with two sides panel, wherein, the air inlet panel and the air outlet panel are arranged face to face.
  • An object of the present application is to provide an indoor unit of an air conditioner having a simple structure, being compatible with the overall environment indoors, and improving the decorative style of the appearance of the indoor unit of the air conditioner.
  • An indoor unit of an air conditioner including: a panel body enclosing side portions and a top portion of the air conditioner and being configured for installing a front panel, a rear shell enclosing a rear portion of the air conditioner, and the front panel arranged in the front of the air conditioner and closely connected to the panel body.
  • the rear shell, the panel body and the front panel define an inner chamber of the air conditioner in which a heat exchanger, a control element and a fan component are provided.
  • Side surfaces of the indoor unit of the air conditioner are of a "U" shape structure, and front, rear and bottom surfaces of a lower portion of the indoor unit of the air conditioner are formed by more than one curved surface.
  • the present application has advantageous effects, for example:
  • the side surfaces of the indoor unit of the air conditioner are of a "U" shape structure, and the front, rear surfaces of the lower portion of the indoor unit of the air conditioner are formed by more than one curved surface, the overall contour of the indoor unit of the air conditioner has a unique visual effect, and the indoor unit of the air conditioner according to the present application becomes a novel air conditioner with a distinct personalized feature.
  • the present application plays an important role in improving the aesthetics of the air conditioner.
  • the indoor unit of the air conditioner includes: a panel body 2 enclosing side portions and a top portion of the air conditioner and being configured for installing a front panel 1, a rear shell enclosing a rear portion of the air conditioner, and the front panel 1 arranged in the front of the air conditioner and closely connected to the panel body 2.
  • the rear shell, the panel body 2 and the front panel 1 define an inner chamber of the air conditioner in which a heat exchanger, a control element, and a fan component are provided.
  • Side surfaces of the indoor unit of the air conditioner are of a "U" shape structure, and front, rear and bottom surfaces of a lower portion of the indoor unit of the air conditioner are formed by more than one curved surfaces.
  • the front panel 1 includes, from top to bottom in sequence, a first combining surface 11, a second combining surface 12 and a third combining surface 13.
  • a sectional profile line of the first combining surface 11 is of a straight line or an arc line with a curvature approaching to zero.
  • a sectional profile line of the second combining surface 12 is of a curved line with a curvature gradually increased from upper to lower, and the maximum curvature is less than or equal to 0.025.
  • a sectional profile line of the third combining surface 13 is of a curved line with a curvature gradually decreased from upper to lower, and the minimum curvature is larger than 0.0005.
  • the rear shell is mounted at a rear portion of the panel body 2.
  • a lower portion of a front portion of the panel body 2 is closely connected to a bottom portion of the front panel 1.
  • An assembly of the panel body 2 and the rear shell includes, from front to rear in sequence, a fourth combining surface 21, a fifth combining surface 22, a sixth combining surface 23 and a seventh combining surface 24.
  • Sectional profile lines of the fourth combining surface 21, the fifth combining surface 22, the sixth combining surface 23 and the seventh combining surface 24 have different curvatures, respectively, such that a bottom of the air conditioner has an arc transition structure.
  • the front panel 1 covers the front portion of the panel body 2, and a width of the front panel 1 is larger than a width of the front portion of the panel body 2, thereby forming a front panel skirt structure 10 at at least one side of a bonding portion of the front panel 1 and the panel body 2.
  • the panel body 2 includes: a rear frame 29 at a rear portion of the panel body 2, and a left side plate 28 and a right side plate 28. At least one side of the rear frame 29 extends beyond corresponding side plate 28 at the same side, thereby forming a panel body skirt structure 20.
