Definitions

  • the present application relates to a structure of an indoor unit of an air conditioner, in particular, to an indoor unit of an air conditioner having optimized performances and excellent effects.
  • the air conditioner is a device that can cool or warm a room, or purify air in the room via an air cooler, a heater or an air cleaner, such that the indoor environment is more comfortable.
  • Such an air conditioner is provided with a ventilation device, an air cooling and heating device, and an air cleaner.
  • the ventilation device can forcedly circulate the air indoors, and specifically absorb the indoor air, perform heat exchange, or purify the air, and then can discharge the air into the room.
  • people have make improvements frequently to the air conditioner.
  • an indoor unit of an air conditioner includes: a rear housing encasing the side and rear portions of the air conditioner, and a panel body located in front of the rear housing and closely connected to the rear housing.
  • the rear housing and the panel body define the inner cavity of the air conditioner.
  • a heat exchanger, a control element and a ventilation component are provided in the inner cavity.
  • the panel body is typically fixed on the rear housing with screws or in a snap-fit coupling manner.
  • Air conditioners are known from EP 0 962 717 A1 , where a diffuser has an inverted T-shaped cross section and is provided at a position on a front panel side within an air outlet. Further, Air conditioners are known from EP 1 712 798 A1 , and EP 1 553 358 A1 .
  • An object of the present application is to provide an indoor unit of an air conditioner having a simple structure and improving the performance of the air conditioner, so as to increase the production efficiency and ensure the reliability of the product.
  • the present application provides the following technical solution.
  • An indoor unit of an air conditioner includes: a panel body encasing side portions and a top portion of the air conditioner and configured to mount a front panel; a rear housing encasing a rear portion of the air conditioner; and the front panel located in front of the panel body and closely connected to the panel body.
  • the rear housing, the panel body and the front panel define an inner cavity of the air conditioner.
  • An air outlet is provided at a lower portion of the front panel.
  • An air deflector is provided on the front panel or the panel body, and is configured to open and close the air outlet.
  • An air baffle rib is provided at a top portion of the air outlet and extends from the top portion of the air outlet towards the air outlet.
  • the air baffle rib is configured as an elongated rib-like member attached closely to the top portion of the air outlet in a horizontal direction, and has a horizontal width dimension smaller than or equal to a width dimension of the air outlet.
  • the panel body is provided with a notch for mounting the front panel and a rabbet for fixing the rear housing, the air baffle rib is formed by extending the panel body towards the top of the air outlet, and a water film region is formed between a bottom portion of the front panel and the air baffle rib.
  • the air baffle rib is provided at the top portion of the air outlet, and extends from the top portion of the air outlet towards the air outlet, which can ensure a relatively uniform temperature at the air outlet and avoid a partial excessive temperature difference to generate condensate water, thereby reducing the occurrence of condensation and efficiently preventing the resulting condensate water from dropping.
  • the indoor unit of the air conditioner includes: a panel body 2 encasing side portions and a top portion of the air conditioner and configured to mount a front panel; a rear housing 1 encasing a rear portion of the air conditioner; and the front panel 3 located in front of the panel body and closely connected to the panel body.
  • the rear housing 1, the panel body 2 and the front panel 3 define an inner cavity of the air conditioner, and a heat exchanger, a control element and a ventilation component are provided in the inner cavity.
  • An air outlet 4 is provided at a lower portion of the front panel 3.
  • An air deflector 5 is mounted on the front panel 3 or is provided on the panel body 2, and is configured to open and close the air outlet 4.
  • An eddy formation device 6 is provided at a bottom portion of the air outlet 4, and is fixed on the front panel 3 or the panel body 2 in a horizontal direction and is of an elongated strip-like structure.
  • the eddy formation device 6 includes at least one concave groove 7 extending in a horizontal direction. A concave direction of the concave groove 7 intersects an air outlet direction of the air conditioner at an angle.
  • the eddy formation device 6 is formed by closely attaching an elongated strip-like member to a bottom surface of the air outlet 4 in the horizontal direction.
  • the eddy formation device 6 is formed by closely attaching two or more elongated strip-like members to the bottom surface of the air outlet 4 in the horizontal direction in sequence.
  • the eddy formation device 6 has a horizontal width dimension smaller than or equal to a width dimension of the air outlet 4.
  • an air baffle rib 8 is provided at the top portion of the air outlet 4.
  • the air baffle rib 8 extends from the top portion of the air outlet 4 towards the air outlet 4.
  • the air baffle rib 8 is an elongated rib-like member attached closely to the top portion of the air outlet 4 in the horizontal direction, and has a horizontal width dimension smaller than or equal to the width dimension of the air outlet 4.
  • the panel body 2 is provided with a notch for mounting the front panel 3 and a rabbet for fixing the rear housing 1.
  • the panel body 2 extends towards the top of the air outlet 4 to form the air baffle rib 8.
  • a water film region 9 is formed between a bottom portion of the front panel 3 and the air baffle rib 8.
  • the rear housing 1 extends towards the top of the air outlet 4 to form the air baffle rib 8, and the rear housing 1 encases the panel body 2 such that the panel body 2 is located behind the air outlet 4.
  • the air baffle rib 8 is adhered to the front panel 3; or the front panel 3 extends towards the top of the air outlet 4 to form the air baffle rib 8.
