As a result, the difference between the size of theouter air deflector 3 and the size of theinner air deflector 2 is reduced, and an aesthetic appearance of thehousing 1 of the air conditionerindoor unit 100 is ensured. - According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, the
housing 1 includes anouter cover 13, and aleft side cover 131 and aright side cover 132 that are respectively disposed at a left side and a right side of theouter cover 13. As shown inFIG. 5 , the firstaccommodating portion 11 is disposed on theouter cover 13. By providing the firstaccommodating portion 11 at a front of theouter cover 13, it is possible to effectively ensure mounting space of theinner air deflector 2, to facilitate to increase a length of theinner air deflector 2, to reduce the difference between the size of theinner air deflector 2 and the size of theouter air deflector 3 is reduced, and to improve an air guiding effect. The secondaccommodating portion 12 is jointly constituted by theouter cover 13, theleft side cover 131 and theright side cover 132, thereby ensuring mounting space of theouter air deflector 3. - In some optional embodiments, referring to
FIG. 3 , thehousing 1 may further include apanel 15 and abase 16. Thepanel 15 is located at a side of the outer cover 13 (e.g., a right side inFIG. 3 ), and thebase 16 is fixed to a lower end of theouter cover 13. - As shown in
FIGS. 12 and 13 , according to some embodiments of the present disclosure, the air conditionerindoor unit 100 further includes twoouter driving devices 4. The twoouter driving devices 4 are respectively disposed at the left side and the right side of thehousing 1 to drive theouter air deflector 3 to rotate between the second closed position and the second open position.

Through sliding of the positioningprotrusions 351 in thepositioning groove 362, sliding of the slidingmember 36 on the slidingportion 35 is achieved. Thus, the slidingmember 36 drives theouter air deflector 3 to rotate, and manufacturing process is simple. - As shown in
FIG. 19 , apositioning portion 363 is disposed at a side of the slidingmember 36 away from an air deflector, that is, thepositioning portion 363 is disposed at a side of the slidingmember 36 facing an interior of the air conditionerindoor unit 100. An extension axis of thepositioning portion 363 is parallel to the slidingmember 36, and thepositioning groove 362 is defined by thepositioning portion 363 and the slidingmember 36. In this way, fixing reliability of the slidingmember 36 is effectively ensured, materials are saved, and costs are reduced. - Further, two limiting
strips 364 are disposed at the side of the slidingmember 36 away from the air deflector. The two limitingstrips 364 are perpendicular to the extension axis of thepositioning portion 363, and are disposed at both ends of thepositioning groove 362 to limit positions of the positioningprotrusions 351 in thepositioning groove 362. - In some optional embodiments, as shown in
FIG. 19 , thepositioning portion 363 includes anextension column 3631 and twoextension pieces 3632. A cross section of theextension column 3631 substantially has a circular shape, and an end of theextension column 3631 is flush with the slidingmember 36. That is, inFIG. 19 , a left end of theextension column 3631 is flush with a left end of the slidingmember 36. The slidingrod 361 is coaxially connected to an end of theextension column 3631, and the twoextension pieces 3632 are disposed parallel to each other at both sides of theextension column 3631, and extend from the slidingmember 36 in a direction away from the air deflector. That is to say, the twoextension pieces 3632 extend toward the interior of the air conditionerindoor unit 100, and a distance between the twoextension pieces 3632 is smaller than a diameter of theextension column 3631. As a result, it is possible to prevent theextension column 3631 from falling off, and to ensure fixing reliability of theextension column 3631. Thepositioning groove 362 is defined by theextension pieces 3632 and the slidingmember 36. - Referring to
FIGS. 17 and19 , when theouter air deflector 3 and theouter driving device 4 are mounted, the slidingmember 36 moves toward a center of theouter air deflector 3. After the slidingrod 361 is aligned with a hole in a side plate of theouter air deflector 3, the slidingmember 36 is pushed toward the connectingrod 42, so that the connectingrod 42 is hinged with theouter air deflector 3. During disassembly, the slidingmember 36 may be pushed in a direction away from the connectingrod 42 with force. Specifically, as shown inFIG. 19 , a back surface of the slidingmember 36 is provided with thepositioning portion 363, and thepositioning groove 362 is defined by thepositioning portion 363 and a side surface of the slidingmember 36. Left and right ends of thepositioning groove 362 are provided with the limitingstrips 364, and an upper edge and a lower edge of the slidingportion 35 on a rear side plate of theouter air deflector 3 are provided with thepositioning protrusions 351. During mounting, the positioning protrusions are located in thepositioning groove 362, and the connection between therotating arm 43 and theouter air deflector 3 is achieved through left and right sliding of the slidingmember 36 on the slidingportion 35. - In some optional embodiments, the sliding
rod 361 and theextension column 3631 are metal pieces, the slidingmember 36 and theextension pieces 3632 are plastic pieces, and the slidingrod 361, theextension column 3631, the slidingmember 36 and theextension pieces 3632 are integrally formed by means of injection molding. Therefore, strength of the slidingrod 361 and theextension column 3631 is ensured, assembly is easy, and manufacturing process is simple. - As shown in
FIG. 5 , according to some embodiments of the present disclosure, a left recessedportion 1311 and a right recessedportion 1321 are respectively disposed at a front side of theleft side cover 131 and a front side of theright side cover 132. After theleft side cover 131 and theright side cover 132 are assembled to theouter cover 13, the left recessedportion 1311, the right recessedportion 1321 and theouter cover 13 jointly define the secondaccommodating portion 12. An outerplate mounting column 1312 is further disposed at each of the front side of theleft side cover 131 and the front side of theright side cover 132, and a lower end of theouter air deflector 3 is pivotally connected to the outerplate mounting column 1312.

The lower end of theouter air deflector 3 is pivotally connected to the outerplate mounting column 1312, and theouter air deflector 3 is pivotally fixed in the second accommodating space, so that the mounting space of theouter air deflector 3 is ensured, and theouter air deflector 3 is easy to be installed. - According to some specific embodiments of the present disclosure, as shown in
FIGS. 3 and21 , theouter air deflector 3 is hollow inside, and includes an outer platerear panel 38 and an outerplate front panel 37 connected to each other. The outer platerear panel 38 has an arc-shaped plate protruding toward the outerplate front panel 37. As a result, an airflow Coanda effect is formed, and an air supply distance of the air conditionerindoor unit 100 is increased. Moreover, it is possible to facilitate that air from theair outlet 111 is blown upward and then falls freely to form shower-style blowing when theouter air deflector 3 is opened, and in turn, to improve comfort of the user. - In some optional embodiments, as shown in
FIG. 8 , the outer platerear panel 38 is provided with a plurality of parallelouter plate patterns 39 extending in a left-right direction, so that strength of theouter air deflector 3 is ensured, a weight of theouter air deflector 3 is reduced, and a light weight of theouter air deflector 3 is achieved. - According to the air conditioner
indoor unit 100 in the embodiments of the present disclosure, as shown inFIG. 3 , after the air conditionerindoor unit 100 is mounted, a distance between an upper end of a mounting portion of theouter air deflector 3 and a wall is larger than a distance between a lower end of the mounting portion of theouter air deflector 3 and the wall. In this way, it is possible to blow the air from theair outlet 111 in a direction away from the wall when the air conditionerindoor unit 100 is in operation, to reduce a gap through which air flows between the mounting portion of theouter air deflector 3 and theouter cover 13, and in turn, to reduce condensation on the front surface of theouter air deflector 3. - In some further embodiments of the present disclosure, referring to
