The restricting and locking mechanism includes a baffle and an elastic plate on its upper supporting rod and a bulge and side wings on its lower supporting rod. When the front panel is closed, the upper supporting rod and the lower supporting rod are folded, and hidden in the indoor unit; and when the front panel is open, the upper supporting rod and the lower supporting rod extend to a straight line, and are locked automatically through the restricting and locking mechanism after opening, so that the front panel can be hold at the opening position and the repair and maintenance of the air conditioner is convenient. At the same time, the opening angle of the front panel is restricted, so that damage of the front panel, the panel body and other components due to the excess opening of the front panel can be prevented.
