For example, when the air conditioner 100 is an all-in-one air conditioner, the air conditioner 100 may be a window type air conditioner 100 or a mobile air conditioner 100; when the air conditioner 100 is a split air conditioner, the air conditioner 100 may include an indoor unit and an outdoor unit, and the casing 1 is a casing of the indoor unit.

In addition, the air conditioner 100 may further include a humidifying device for directly or indirectly delivering a humidified airflow to the indoor environment, so that the air conditioner 100 has a humidifying function, can adjust the humidity of the indoor environment, and avoids the problem that the skin is dry and the like easily caused by long-time use of the air conditioner 100.

It can be understood that the air conditioner 100 may further include a purification device for purifying the indoor air, so as to achieve the cleaning function of the air conditioner 100, and facilitate the improvement of the indoor air quality.

Other configurations and operations of the air conditioner 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention are known to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail herein.

The specific meaning of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific situations by those skilled in the art.

In the present application, unless expressly stated or limited otherwise, the first feature may be directly on or directly under the second feature or indirectly via intermediate members. Also, a first feature "on," "over," and "above" a second feature may be directly or diagonally above the second feature, or may simply indicate that the first feature is at a higher level than the second feature. A first feature being "under," "below," and "beneath" a second feature may be directly under or obliquely under the first feature, or may simply mean that the first feature is at a lesser elevation than the second feature.

In the description herein, references to the description of the term "one embodiment," "some embodiments," "an example," "a specific example," or "some examples," etc., mean that a particular feature, structure, material, or characteristic described in connection with the embodiment or example is included in at least one embodiment or example of the invention. In this specification, the schematic representations of the terms used above are not necessarily intended to refer to the same embodiment or example. Furthermore, the particular features, structures, materials, or characteristics described may be combined in any suitable manner in any one or more embodiments or examples.
