Abstract

Provided is a wall-mounted air conditioner, comprising a housing and a heat exchanger. An air duct is provided in the housing; the air duct comprises an air inlet and an air outlet; the air duct comprises an air inflow section and an air outflow section that are connected to each other; at least a portion of the air inlet is located on the front side of the housing; and the heat exchanger is disposed in the air duct. The air inflow section horizontally or obliquely extends forward from the air outflow section to form a first mounting space behind the air inflow section; and/or the portion of the air outflow section adjacent to the air outlet extends downward and forward from the remaining portion of the air outflow section to form a second mounting space behind the air outflow section.

Claims (39)

1 . A wall-mounted air conditioner, comprising:

an air duct,

a housing, wherein an air duct is arranged in the housing, the air duct has an air inlet and an air outlet, and the air duct comprises an air inflow section and an air outflow section connected to each other, at least a part of the air inlet being on a front surface of the housing; and

a heat exchanger arranged in the air duct,

wherein the air inflow section extends horizontally or obliquely forwards from the air outflow section, to define a first mounting space between the air inflow section and the housing; and

a part, adjacent to the air outlet, of the air outflow section extends downwards and forwards from a remaining part of the air outflow section, to define a second mounting space between the air outflow section and the housing,

wherein an air duct wall of the air inflow section comprises a first air inflow plate;

wherein a rear surface of the first air inflow plate is provided with a water tank having an opening facing upwards; and wherein the first mounting space is above the water tank and the second mounting space is below the water tank.

2 . The wall-mounted air conditioner according to claim 1 , further comprising a first component, a second component, and a third component, wherein one or more of the first component, second component, and the third component are mounted in any of the first mounting space, the second mounting space, and the third mounting space.

3 . The wall-mounted air conditioner according to claim 2 , wherein the first component is mounted in the first mounting space, the second component is mounted in the second mounting space, and the third component is mounted in the third mounting space.

4 . The wall-mounted air conditioner according to claim 3 , wherein the first component is a throttling component; the second component comprises air conditioner pipelines; and the third component is an electric control component.

5 . The wall-mounted air conditioner according to claim 1 , wherein:

the air duct wall of the air inflow section further comprises a second air inflow plate, and an air duct wall of the air outflow section comprises a first air outflow plate and a second air outflow plate;

wherein the wall-mounted air conditioner further comprises a third mounting space defined among the second air inflow plate, the second air outflow plate, and a front plate of the housing;

the first mounting space is behind the first air inflow plate, and the second mounting space is behind the first air outflow plate.

6 . The wall-mounted air conditioner according to claim 5 , wherein the second air inflow plate comprises a sunken part, and the sunken part forms a water receiving sink for receiving condensate water from the heat exchanger.

7 . The wall-mounted air conditioner according to claim 6 , wherein the third mounting space is on one side of the sunken part facing away the water receiving sink.

8 . The wall-mounted air conditioner according to claim 5 , wherein:

the first air outflow plate comprises a first flat plate portion adjacent to the air outlet, and the second air outflow plate comprises a second flat plate portion adjacent to the air outlet;
