Air conditioner forward return air shielding structure and air conditioner

The air conditioner forward return air shielding structure is arranged at an air return port of an air conditioner indoor unit air return cavity, a heat exchanger and a draught fan are sequentially arranged in the air return cavity in the direction away from the air return port, and the forward return air shielding structure comprises a blocking piece. The blocking piece comprises a shielding partand a connecting part, and an air inlet part is arranged on the connecting part; after the air conditioner forward air return shielding structure is installed at the air return opening, the shieldingpart is right opposite to the air inlet of the draught fan. The peripheral side wall of the shielding part is connected with the connecting part, and the end, away from the shielding part, of the connecting part is arranged at the air return opening; the technical problems that the effective heat exchange area of a heat exchanger is small, the heat exchange amount is insufficient and the heat exchange effect is poor due t
