The present application provides an indoor unit of a wall-mounted air conditioner.
In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in FIGS. 1-3, the indoor unit 100 of the wall-mounted air conditioner includes:

a chassis 10;
a screen assembly 20; and
a cleaning assembly 30 disposed at one end of the screen assembly 20 and connected with the screen assembly 20 by a fastening structure;
where the cleaning assembly 30 is mounted on the chassis 10, or the screen assembly 20 is mounted on the chassis 10, or the cleaning assembly 30 and the screen assembly 20 are both mounted on the chassis 10.

It will be understood that the fastening structure is a structure that securely connects the cleaning assembly 30 and the screen assembly 20, which is configured to improve the connection stability between the cleaning assembly 30 and the screen assembly 20.
Specifically, when the indoor unit 100 of the wall-mounted air conditioner is assembled, the cleaning assembly 30 and the screen assembly 20 are connected by the fastening structure, and a gear 322 of the cleaning assembly 30 and a screen 21 of the screen assembly 20 are simultaneously engaged (where the screen 21 is provided with an engaging member 211 configured for engaging with the gear 322); then, the cleaning assembly 30 together with the screen assembly 20 are mounted on the chassis 10. As such, the cleaning assembly 30 and the screen assembly 20 are fixedly connected by the fastening structure, thereby improving the connection stability between the cleaning assembly 30 and the screen assembly 20 and further improving the engaging stability of the gear 322 of the cleaning assembly 30 and the screen 21 of the screen assembly 20; so that the defects such as misalignment, jamming, abnormal noise, etc. of the engaging transmission between the gear 322 and the screen 21 may be avoided in the process of washing, thereby improving the transmission reliability of the screen 21 in the washing process.
Namely, according to the indoor unit 100 of the wall-mounted air conditioner of the present application, the cleaning assembly 30 and the screen assembly 20 are fixedly connected by the fastening structure, thereby improving the connection stability between the cleaning assembly 30 and the screen assembly 20 and further improving the engaging stability of the gear 322 of the cleaning assembly 30 and the screen 21; so that the defects such as misalignment, jamming, abnormal noise, etc. of the engaging transmission between the gear 322 and the screen 21 may be avoided in the process of washing, thereby improving the transmission reliability of the screen 21 in the washing process.
Secondly, the cleaning assembly 30 and the screen assembly 20 are fixedly connected by the fastening structure, so that loosening of the engaged gear 322 and the screen 21 due to changed relative position of the cleaning assembly 30 and the screen assembly 20 caused by shaking and/or collision during transportation may be avoided.
In addition, the assembly sequence of the indoor unit 100 of the wall-mounted air conditioner is: the cleaning assembly 30 and the screen assembly 20 are first fixedly connected by the fastening structure, and then the cleaning assembly 30 together with the screen assembly 20 are mounted on the chassis 10. The above assembly sequence is very convenient for checking the connection points on the production line.
In a specific embodiment, there may be various specific structures of the fastening structure, as long as the cleaning assembly 30 and the screen assembly 20 may be securely connected together to stabilize the relative positions of the two. For example, the fastening structure may include one or more of a snap structure, a threaded structure, a pin connection structure, a welded connection structure, etc. The fastening structure will be exemplified below, and it will be understood that many fastening structures are readily apparent to those skilled in the art on the basis of the following examples.

Specifically, in FIGS. 2 and 3, the second buckle 312 is disposed in a front side of the cleaning box 31.
As such, the front portion of the grille assembly 22 may be constrained and connected with the front lateral side of the cleaning box 31.
It can be understood that the second buckle 312 may also be disposed in the second connecting member 222, and correspondingly, the second buckle hole 2221 is defined in the cleaning box 31. Namely, the first buckle structure further includes the second buckle hole 2221 defined in the cleaning box 31, and the second buckle 312 protruded from the second connecting member 222, where the second buckle 312 is adaptively engaged in the second buckle hole 2221.
Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the second connecting member 222 may be provided in a plate shape. As such, the structure and manufacturing process of the second connecting member 222 may be simplified.
Specifically, a side surface of the second buckle 311 toward the second buckle hole 2211 is obliquely extended to further guide the engagement between the first connecting member 221 and the cleaning box 31.
Further, as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, two of the second connecting members 222 are provided at intervals along a length direction of the screen assembly 20 (namely the left-right direction in FIG. 2), and each second connecting member 222 defines a second buckle hole 2221 respectively, and two of the second buckle 312 are provided accordingly. As such, the connection strength and the connection stability may be improved.
It can be understood that the first connecting member 221 extends downwardly from the end of the grille assembly 22, and the first buckle hole 2211 is defined in the first connecting member 221 to be engaged with the first buckle 311 disposed in the cleaning box 31, so that the end of the grille assembly 22 and the left lateral side of the cleaning box may be constrained and connected. Further, the second connecting member 222 extends downwardly from the front portion of the grille assembly 22, and the second buckle hole 2221 is defined in the second connecting member to be engaged with the second buckle 312 disposed in the cleaning box, so that the front portion of the grille assembly 11 and the front lateral side of the cleaning box 31 may be constrained and connected. As such, the cleaning box 31 and the grille assembly 22 may be fastened.
It should be noted that, the first buckle structure may also be set in other structural forms according to the first buckle structure mentioned above, which will not be detailed here.

It can be understood that an end surface where the first threaded hole 223 located is an end surface of an end where the first connecting member 221 located, and the third connecting member 313 is disposed on a left lateral side of the cleaning box 31.
As such, the strength of the connection between the cleaning box 31 and the grille assembly 22 may be further enhanced to further improve the stability of the connection between the cleaning assembly 30 and the screen assembly 20.
Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the third connecting member 313 is disposed on a rear side of the edge of the opening of the cleaning box 31, and the first threaded hole 223 is defined in a rear side of the end face.
