The panel 10 can select the opening position according to the set air outlet position of the air outlet 410. For example, when the air conditioner needs two-sided air-out, and a larger air-out range is achieved, the plurality of panels 10 are overlapped and arranged in the middle of the air outlet 410. When the air conditioner needs to concentrate the air supply, the panels 10 are overlapped on one side of the air outlet 410, so that the air is blown out from the other side of the air outlet 410.

The extending direction of the first guide groove 311 intersects with the moving direction of the first driving member 210, and the extending direction of the first rail groove 211 intersects with the moving direction of the first driving member 210, so that the first rail groove 211 can prevent the first pin body 111 from moving when the first pin body 111 moves in the first guide groove 311.

The inner sidewall of the second rail groove 221 abuts against the second pin body 121 to drive the second pin body 121 to move relative to the second guide groove 321 and the fourth guide groove 322, so as to drive the second panel 120 to move. The extending direction of the second guide groove 321 intersects with the moving direction of the second driving member 220, and the extending direction of the second rail groove 221 intersects with the moving direction of the second driving member 220, so that the second rail groove 221 can prevent the second pin body 121 from moving when the second pin body 121 moves in the second guide groove 321.
