Abstract
A temperature-sensing bulb support for an air-conditioner indoor unit, and an air-conditioner indoor unit are disclosed. The temperature-sensing bulb support includes: a support body. The support body is adapted to be fixed to a housing of the air-conditioner indoor unit. The support body defines a filter mesh positioning groove configured to accommodate an end frame bar of a filter mesh, and the support body further defines a temperature-sensing bulb accommodating groove configured to accommodate a temperature-sensing bulb. The temperature-sensing bulb accommodating groove is isolated from the filter mesh positioning groove by a partition wall, and the temperature-sensing bulb accommodating groove is located outside the filter mesh positioning groove. The temperature-sensing bulb is placed outside the filter mesh while protecting the temperature-sensing bulb, such that the temperature-sensing bulb can detect ambient temperature more accurately, aiding in increasing accuracy of control over the air-conditioner indoor unit.
