Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of air conditioning, and in particular to a position detection device and an air conditioner having the same. Background Art
[0002] With the development of science and technology and the improvement of people's living standards, air conditioners are moving towards a multifunctional and intelligent trend. Among them, the comfort and ease of operation of air conditioners have attracted much attention from users. The difficulty of maintaining air conditioners in the later stage also directly affects the user experience.
[0003] In modern air-conditioning systems, there are generally functions to prevent direct blowing and automatically reduce power or even shut down the system when no one is in the room. These functions have a good effect on improving user experience. Therefore, human body detection devices are widely used in air-conditioning systems to improve user experience and energy efficiency management.
[0004] However, the human body detection components in the prior art face significant limitations when installed inside the air conditioner. The installation location of the air conditioner, especially when the air conditioner is installed in a corner or confined space, will seriously affect the detection range and accuracy of the human body detection component. In addition, the outer shell of the air conditioner is usually made of non-transparent materials such as metal or plastic. Although these materials can meet the requirements of transportation, structural strength and aesthetics, they have a shielding and attenuation effect on the signal wave, which in turn affects the signal transmission and reception of the human body detection component and reduces the detection effect.

However, if the human detection component fails to accurately detect the user in the room due to the above limitations, it will mistakenly trigger the no-person mode, causing the air conditioner to automatically shut down or reduce power when the user is actually present, thus affecting the comfort and user experience of the air conditioner.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0068] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present application can be combined with each other. The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with the embodiments.
[0069] With the development of science and technology and the improvement of people's living standards, air conditioners are moving towards a multifunctional and intelligent trend. Among them, the comfort and ease of operation of air conditioners have attracted much attention from users. The difficulty of maintaining air conditioners in the later stage also directly affects the user experience.
[0070] In modern air-conditioning systems, there are generally functions to prevent direct blowing and automatically reduce power or even shut down the system when no one is in the room. These functions have a good effect on improving user experience. Therefore, human body detection devices are widely used in air-conditioning systems to improve user experience and energy efficiency management.
[0071] However, the human body detection components in the prior art face significant limitations when installed inside the air conditioner. The installation location of the air conditioner, especially when the air conditioner is installed in a corner or confined space, will seriously affect the detection range and accuracy of the human body detection component. In addition, the outer shell of the air conditioner is usually made of non-transparent materials such as metal or plastic. Although these materials can meet the requirements of transportation, structural strength and aesthetics, they have a shielding and attenuation effect on the signal wave, which in turn affects the signal transmission and reception of the human body detection component and reduces the detection effect.
[0072] What is more serious is that when the air conditioner detects that there is no one in the room, it will automatically reduce the operating power or shut down directly to save energy. However, if the human detection component fails to accurately detect the user in the room due to the above limitations, it will mistakenly trigger the no-person mode, causing the air conditioner to automatically shut down or reduce power when the user is actually present, thus affecting the comfort and user experience of the air conditioner.
[0073] Therefore, the purpose of this application is to provide a position detection device and an air conditioner having the same in order to solve the above technical problems.
[0074] First, the present application provides a position detection device, including a detection component 12, for detecting the real-time position of a target to be detected;
[0075] The driving component 11 is used to be installed on the device to be installed. The driving component 11 is connected to the detection component 12 to drive the detection component 12 to move to a predetermined position according to the detection result of the detection component 12 to adjust the position between the detection component 12 and the target to be detected.
[0076] Specifically, Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 6As shown, the position detection device provided by the present application includes a detection component 12, and the detection component 12 can detect the real-time position of the target to be detected. A driving component 11 is provided on the device to be installed, wherein the detection component 12 of the device to be installed is arranged on the driving component 11. In this embodiment, the device to be installed is an electrical device, such as an air conditioner, a washing machine, a refrigerator, etc. The device to be installed in this embodiment is an air conditioner, but the type of the device to be installed is not specifically limited. This embodiment is only for illustrative purposes. The device to be installed in this embodiment is an air conditioner indoor unit 1, because when installing the air conditioner indoor unit 1, there is no way to determine the exact installation position of the air conditioner indoor unit 1, because the human body detection device in the prior art is generally fixedly installed on the air conditioner indoor unit 1. If the air conditioner indoor unit 1 is installed in a corner or other position, it is difficult for the human body detection device provided on the air conditioner indoor unit 1 to continuously track the user's position. When the user and the air conditioner indoor unit 1 are respectively in two corners of the room. , the fixedly installed human body detection device has no way to detect the user's position, and will use the absence of a user indoors as the final detection result, and send the result to the air conditioner controller. The air conditioner controller may directly turn off the air conditioner, or increase or decrease the power of the air conditioner, which will affect the user's comfort when using the air conditioner indoor unit 1. The detection component 12 installed on the air conditioner indoor unit 1 in the present application can be moved in real time, because a driving component is provided on the air conditioner indoor unit 1. When the detection component 12 detects that the position of the target to be detected has moved, the obtained detection result will be sent to the driving component 11, and the driving component 11 will drive the detection component 12 to move in multiple directions on the air conditioner indoor unit 1, including movement of the position of the detection component 12, and also including movement of the detection component 12 in posture, so that the detection end of the detection component 12 can track the user's position in real time, and thereby adjust the position between the detection component 12 and the target to be detected.
[0077] Through the position detection device provided in the present application, the detection component 12 can change its position and posture in real time according to the position of the user, thereby ensuring that the detection component 12 can continuously track the position of the user.
[0078] The cooperative work of the detection component 12 and the drive component 11 in the present application allows the position and posture of the detection component 12 on the air conditioner indoor unit 1 to be adjusted in real time, even when the air conditioner indoor unit 1 is installed in a corner or other restricted position in the room, it can ensure continuous tracking and comprehensive coverage of the user's position, eliminating the detection blind spot that may exist in the fixed installation mode. When the user's position changes, the drive component 11 can respond quickly, adjust the position and posture of the detection component 12, and ensure that the detection end of the detection component 12 is always aimed at the user, so as to accurately adjust the operating state of the air conditioner (such as wind speed, wind direction, temperature, etc.), avoid the discomfort of direct blowing on the human body or automatically reduce the power due to failure to detect the user, and enhance the user's personalized comfort experience. The dynamic adjustment mechanism effectively avoids the false detection of the fixed detection component 12 due to the room layout restrictions, reduces the situation of the air conditioner being shut down or adjusting the power by mistake, not only improves the user experience, but also increases the safety of the system, and prevents unnecessary energy consumption and operational errors. No matter where the air conditioner indoor unit 1 is installed in the room, the position detection device can move in all directions through the driving component 11, ensuring that the detection component 12 can flexibly adapt to various detection requirements, thereby enhancing the compatibility and adaptability of the air conditioning system under different apartment types and room layouts. The independent design of the detection component 12 and the driving component 11 makes the maintenance and replacement of the position detection device more convenient, without the need to disassemble or move the air conditioner indoor unit, reducing maintenance costs and improving user convenience.
[0079] In summary, the position detection device of the present application solves the limitations of traditional fixed detection devices through its dynamic adjustment and intelligent response characteristics, and provides a human body detection solution that is blind-spot-free, personalized, highly compatible, easy to maintain, safe and reliable, significantly improving the intelligence level of the air-conditioning system and user experience.
[0080] Furthermore, the driving assembly 11 includes: a plurality of driving components, and the plurality of driving components are all drivingly connected to the detection assembly 12, so that the detection assembly 12 is moved to a predetermined position under the driving action of at least one driving component.
[0081] Specifically, through the coordinated work of multiple driving components, the position detection device of the present application can realize the displacement and posture adjustment of the detection component 12 in the horizontal and pitch directions. This multi-dimensional adjustment capability greatly improves the detection range and accuracy, and ensures the comprehensiveness of human body detection and continuous tracking capabilities.
[0082] The multi-directional adjustment function of the driving component 11 enables the detection component 12 to automatically adjust to the optimal detection state according to the specific layout of the room and changes in the user's position. Even if the air-conditioning indoor unit 1 is installed in the corner of the room, it will not affect the human body detection effect, thereby improving the intelligence level of the air-conditioning system.
[0083] The dynamic adjustment mechanism avoids blind spots and misoperation that may occur in fixed detection devices, ensuring that the detection component 12 can always accurately detect the position of the human body, avoiding discomfort caused by direct blowing on the human body or accidental shutdown, and improving the user's comfort and satisfaction during the use of the air conditioner. The detection component 12 and the drive component 11 are easy to disassemble and assemble independently, which simplifies the maintenance process, reduces maintenance costs, and improves the reliability of the equipment.
[0084] Further, the driving assembly 11 comprises: a first driving unit 3;
[0085] The driving rod 4 extends along the first direction. The driving end of the first driving unit 3 is connected to the driving rod 4 to drive the driving rod 4 to rotate around its axis. The driving rod 4 is transmission-connected to the detection component 12 to drive the detection component 12 to rotate synchronously.
[0086] Specifically, Figure 1 , Figure 4 As shown, the driving assembly 11 includes a first driving unit 3, the first driving unit 3 is a driving motor, the driving end of the driving motor is connected to a driving rod 4, and the driving rod 4 extends along a first direction. Figure 4 In the center, direction a is indicated. The first driving unit 3 drives the driving rod 4 to rotate around its own axis, wherein the detection component 12 is arranged on the driving rod. During the rotation of the driving rod 4 around its own axis, the detection component 12 will also rotate synchronously to adjust the horizontal detection posture of the detection component 12.
[0087] The present application drives the driving rod 4 to rotate through the first driving unit 3, and can accurately adjust the horizontal posture of the detection component 12, ensuring that the detection component 12 can cover the widest range of human activities in any room layout, avoiding the detection blind spot caused by the fixed detection posture. The linkage mechanism of the first driving unit 3 and the driving rod 4 can quickly respond to the user's movement, instantly adjust the direction of the detection component 12, and ensure the real-time and accuracy of human detection. The axis of the driving rod 4 is coaxially designed with the motor output shaft of the first driving unit 3, which ensures the stability during the rotation process, reduces the detection error caused by structural instability, and makes the movement smoother, thereby improving the response speed and efficiency of the system. The independent design of the driving component 11 and the detection component 12 is convenient for maintenance and replacement, and reduces the maintenance cost. The horizontal posture adjustment mechanism of the detection component 12 enables the air conditioning system to intelligently adjust parameters such as wind speed and wind direction according to the specific position and range of activities of the user, improves the personalized comfort, and meets the user's use needs in different scenarios. The coordinated use of the first driving unit 3 and the driving rod 4 enables efficient and precise adjustment of the detection assembly 12, improves the intelligent control level of the air-conditioning system, reduces energy consumption, and improves the overall operating efficiency of the system.
[0088] To sum up, the present application realizes the intelligent adjustment of the horizontal posture of the detection component 12 through the coordinated work of the first drive unit 3 and the drive rod 4, solves the problem of limited detection range caused by the fixed installation position of the detection component 12 in the prior art, and significantly improves the efficiency, accuracy and comfort of human body detection by the air-conditioning system.
[0089] Furthermore, the driving assembly 11 further includes: a fixing bracket 111, the fixing bracket 111 is movably disposed on the driving rod 4 along the extending direction of the driving rod 4;
[0090] The second driving unit 5 , a driving end of the second driving unit 5 is drivingly connected to the fixing bracket 111 to drive the fixing bracket 111 to move along the driving rod 4 .
[0091] Specifically, Figure 5 As shown, the driving assembly 11 also includes a fixed bracket 111 movably arranged on the driving rod 4, and the fixed bracket 111 can move along the extension direction of the driving rod 4. A second driving unit 5 is provided on the fixed bracket 111, and the second driving unit 5 drives the fixed bracket 111 to move along the extension direction of the driving rod 4.
[0092] The second driving unit 5 in the present application can drive the fixed bracket 111 to move along the driving rod 4, thereby adjusting the horizontal position of the detection component 12, and cooperating with the horizontal posture adjustment of the first driving unit 3, so that the detection component 12 can achieve more comprehensive and accurate detection coverage according to the room layout and human activity range.
[0093] Through the horizontal movement of the fixed bracket 111, the detection component 12 can not only adjust its own posture, but also change its relative position in the room, ensuring that no matter which corner of the room the human body is in, the detection component 12 can respond in time, maximize the detection range, and improve the detection efficiency and user experience. This design of the drive component 11 enables the detection component 12 to adapt to various room layouts. Whether the air-conditioning indoor unit 1 is installed in a corner, a wall or a central position, the detection component 12 can be driven by the second drive unit 5 to adjust to the optimal horizontal position to ensure the comprehensiveness and accuracy of human body detection. The horizontal position adjustment capability of the detection component 12, combined with the horizontal posture adjustment, enables the air-conditioning system to intelligently adjust parameters such as wind speed, wind direction, and temperature according to the specific position of the human body, providing a more personalized comfort experience and meeting the needs of users in different room layouts and positions. The independent design of the fixed bracket 111 and the detection component 12 not only simplifies the installation process, but also facilitates maintenance and replacement, reduces maintenance costs, and improves the stability and service life of the equipment.

[0097] Specifically, Figure 5 As shown, the present application further optimizes the structure of the second drive unit 5, which includes a first drive component 501 and a first rotating component 502. The first drive component 501 is a first drive motor in this embodiment, which is fixedly mounted on the fixed bracket 111, and the output shaft of the first drive component 501 is connected to the first rotating component 502. The first drive component 501 converts the rotational motion of the first drive component 501 into a linear motion of the fixed bracket 111 along the extension direction of the drive rod 4 through a transmission connection with the drive rod 4. This design can enable the fixed bracket 111 to move smoothly along a preset path through the precise control of the first drive component 501, thereby driving the position change of the detection component 12 in the horizontal direction, and realizing more flexible detection range coverage.

[0102] Specifically, Figure 1 and Figure 5As shown, in a further design of the present application, the first rotating component 502 adopts a gear structure, and the surface of the driving rod 4 is provided with a rack portion 401 along its extension direction. The rack portion 401 is provided with teeth arranged along the extension direction of the driving rod 4, and the teeth can mesh with the gear structure; when the first driving component 501 is started, the rotational power output by it is transmitted to the gear structure of the first rotating component 502. Since the gear is meshed with the rack portion 401, the rotation of the gear can be converted into a linear motion along the rack portion 401, thereby driving the fixed bracket 111 fixed on the gear structure to move along the driving rod 4. This design utilizes the gear rack transmission mechanism, which can achieve accurate and stable horizontal position adjustment, ensuring that the detection component 12 can perform effective human body detection in a wider range. The meshing transmission of the gear and the rack portion 401 provides very precise horizontal movement control, which can accurately adjust the position of the detection component 12 according to the needs of human body detection, and ensure the accuracy of detection. Especially in the scene where the position needs to be fine-tuned, the advantages of the gear rack transmission structure are more obvious.

The gear rack transmission has a fast response speed and can quickly adjust the position of the detection component 12 according to the movement of the human body, ensuring the real-time detection of the human body and enhancing the intelligent control ability of the air-conditioning system. Through the meshing of the rack portion 401 of the driving rod 4 with the gear structure of the first rotating component 502, the precise displacement of the detection component 12 in the horizontal direction is achieved, and the horizontal posture adjustment of the first driving unit 3 is cooperated to greatly expand the detection range, ensuring that no matter where the human body is in the room, the detection component 12 can provide effective detection.

The first mounting component is designed to be mounted on the driving end of the third drive unit 6, and the detection assembly 12 can be mounted on the first mounting component by screws, buckles or other fixing methods. When the third drive unit 6 is started, the rotational motion of its output shaft is directly transmitted to the first mounting component, thereby driving the detection assembly 12 to rotate around the first axis to achieve pitch attitude adjustment. In order to ensure stability and accuracy during rotation.
[0110] The introduction of the first mounting component provides a stable rotating platform for the detection component 12, ensuring that the pitch posture adjustment of the detection component 12 is stable and precise under the drive of the third drive unit 6, avoiding shaking caused by the unstable mounting structure when adjusting the posture, and improving the accuracy of detection.
[0111] The design of the first mounting component enables the detection component 12 to be easily installed and disassembled, simplifies the maintenance process, and reduces maintenance costs. In particular, when replacing or upgrading the detection component 12, the independent design of the first mounting component greatly improves the convenience and safety of operation.

The mounting hole design of the main body 702 ensures the precise connection between the third drive unit 6 and the first mounting component, thereby realizing the precise posture adjustment of the detection component 12 in the pitch direction, ensuring that the detection component 12 can provide the best detection angle regardless of the height of the human body, thereby improving the comprehensiveness and accuracy of the detection. Through the adjustability of the locking bolt, the detection component 12 can not only adjust the posture in the pitch direction, but also flexibly adjust the position and posture in the horizontal direction, further enhancing the adaptive ability of the detection range, and adapting to various room layouts and human activity ranges.

[0124] Furthermore, the position detection device further includes: a charging module 10, which is used to connect with the driving component 11 and / or the detection component 12 to charge the driving component 11 and / or the detection component 12, wherein the charging module 10 includes:
[0125] A wireless charging plate 110, the wireless charging plate 110 is used to be fixedly arranged relative to the device to be installed;
[0126] The inductive energy storage component 13 is arranged on the driving component 11, and the wireless charging plate 110 is in contact with the inductive energy storage component 13 to transfer electrical energy to the inductive energy storage component 13; wherein the inductive energy storage component 13 is connected to the driving component 11 and the detection component 12 to supply power to the driving component 11 and the detection component 12.
[0127] Specifically, in the further design of the present application, the position detection device integrates a charging module 10, whose main function is to provide power supplement for the driving component 11 and the detection component 12 to ensure that these components can operate stably for a long time. The core of the charging module 10 is a wireless charging plate 110 and an inductive energy storage component 13. The multiple wireless charging plates 110 of the charging module 10 can be fixed in the device to be installed by screws or gluing.
[0128] The wireless charging plate 110 is designed to be fixedly arranged with the device to be installed (such as the indoor unit 1 of the air conditioner), and can usually be installed inside the air conditioner, ensuring that the position of the wireless charging plate 110 is fixed relative to the inductive energy storage component 13, so that the inductive energy storage component 13 can be accurately docked and power transmission. The inductive energy storage component 13 is arranged on the driving component 11, and can be specifically installed on the fixed bracket 111 to ensure that the relative position with the wireless charging plate 110 remains consistent during the installation process of the air conditioner and the position detection device. The inductive energy storage component 13 contains components such as an induction coil, a rectifier circuit, and a battery. When the wireless charging plate 110 emits electromagnetic waves, the inductive coil of the inductive energy storage component 13 receives the electromagnetic waves and converts them into electrical energy, which is converted into stable direct current through the rectifier circuit and stored in the battery. This part is the prior art and will not be repeated here. The inductive energy storage component 13 is connected to the driving component 11 and the detection component 12 through the inter-board connection to provide them with electrical energy.
[0129] In order to ensure stability and efficiency during the charging process, the positions of the wireless charging plate 110 and the inductive energy storage component 13 need to be precisely aligned. In addition, the battery capacity of the inductive energy storage component 13 in the present application is designed to be large enough to ensure that the driving component 11 and the detection component 12 can operate continuously during the charging interval without being limited by the power supply.
[0130] The use of wireless charging technology reduces the use of wires in the system, avoids electrical safety hazards such as wire wear and exposure, and improves the electrical safety and reliability of the entire air conditioner system. The wireless charging board 110 and the inductive energy storage component 13 can complete the power transmission without physical contact, making the installation and use of the position detection device easier, without worrying about the connection and disconnection of the power cord. The wireless power supply method reduces the complexity of the inter-board connection and reduces the maintenance cost caused by line problems. At the same time, the independent design of the inductive energy storage component 13 is easy to replace and maintain, further reducing the maintenance cost. The battery capacity design of the inductive energy storage component 13 is large enough to ensure that the driving component 11 and the detection component 12 continue to operate stably during the charging interval, without being restricted by the power supply, and improves the operating efficiency of the system. The wireless charging function of the charging module 10, combined with other intelligent adjustment functions of the position detection device, such as horizontal position and attitude adjustment, pitch attitude adjustment, etc., significantly improves the intelligence level of the air conditioning system, and can intelligently adjust the air conditioning operation status according to the human body detection results and room layout, providing a more comfortable and energy-saving use experience. The application of wireless charging technology reduces the energy loss in the traditional wired charging process and reduces the overall energy consumption of the system. At the same time, it reduces the use of wires and is more environmentally friendly.
[0131] To sum up, by adding the charging module 10, the present application not only optimizes the power supply method of the position detection device, improves electrical safety and ease of use, but also ensures the continuous and stable operation of the detection component 12 and the drive component 11, further improving the intelligent control level and user experience of the air-conditioning system.
[0132] Furthermore, the inductive energy storage component 13 is arc-shaped, and the outer wall surface of the inductive energy storage component 13 contacts the charging module 10 , so that when the inductive energy storage component 13 moves driven by the driving assembly 11 , the outer peripheral surface of the inductive energy storage component 13 maintains contact with the wireless charging plate 110 .
[0133] Specifically, in this application, Fig.15 and Fig.16As shown, the inductive energy storage component 13 is designed as an arc-shaped structure, and its outer wall surface is in contact with the wireless charging plate 110 of the charging module 10 to form a stable energy transmission channel. This design takes into special consideration the dynamic characteristics of the position detection device. Since the inductive energy storage component 13 is installed on the drive assembly 11, as the drive assembly 11 moves, the inductive energy storage component 13 will also move in space, including horizontal position adjustment, horizontal posture adjustment, and pitch posture adjustment. In order to ensure that the inductive energy storage component 13 can effectively receive the energy of the wireless charging plate 110 in various motion postures, it is crucial that its outer peripheral surface maintains contact with the wireless charging plate 110. In specific implementation, the size and shape of the wireless charging plate 110 need to match the arc-shaped outer wall surface of the inductive energy storage component 13 to ensure that the two can be in close contact when the position detection device moves. The arc-shaped design of the inductive energy storage component 13 enables it to follow the movement of the driving component 11, whether it is translation or rotation, and its outer wall surface can always maintain contact with the wireless charging plate 110, thereby ensuring the continuity and stability of energy transmission during the movement of the position detection device under the indoor unit of the air conditioner. The arc-shaped design of the inductive energy storage component 13 ensures that the energy transmission channel remains open during the dynamic adjustment of the position detection device, avoiding the interruption of energy transmission due to posture adjustment, and improving the operating efficiency and stability of the system. The close contact between the arc-shaped outer wall surface and the wireless charging plate 110 reduces the loss during energy transmission and improves the charging efficiency. Even when the position detection device is adjusting its pitch posture, the inductive energy storage component 13 can effectively receive energy, ensuring the high efficiency of energy transmission. This design enables the position detection device to be freely adjusted in three-dimensional space without worrying about energy supply issues, greatly improving the operating flexibility of the system, and can better adapt to various room layouts and human activity ranges, providing more accurate human detection results. The contact surface design between the inductive energy storage component 13 and the wireless charging plate 110 reduces mechanical wear and electrical connection points that need maintenance, reduces maintenance costs, and extends the service life of the system. Through wireless charging, excessive electrical line connections are avoided, electrical safety hazards such as leakage and short circuits are reduced, and the electrical safety of the entire air-conditioning system is improved. The efficient energy transmission of the inductive energy storage component 13, combined with the intelligent adjustment capability of the position detection device, significantly improves the intelligence level and user experience of the air-conditioning system, and can automatically adjust the air-conditioning operating status according to the human body detection results, providing a more comfortable and energy-saving use environment.
[0134] In summary, the present application ensures the continuity and stability of energy transmission during the movement of the position detection device through the arc-shaped design of the inductive energy storage component 13, which not only improves the operating efficiency of the system, but also enhances the flexibility and intelligence level of the system, providing users with a more accurate, comfortable and energy-saving air-conditioning human body detection solution. This design also has significant advantages in reducing maintenance costs and improving electrical safety, and is an important innovation in the field of air-conditioning human body detection technology.

A rotating portion 16 is provided on the other third mounting shell 202, and the rotating portion 16 has an opening, which is arranged toward the fixed ribs 15. The fixed end of the first driving unit 3 is arranged in the two fixed ribs 15 to fix the first driving unit 3, and the end of the driving rod 4 away from the first driving unit 3 is arranged in the rotating portion 16, as shown in FIG. Fig.11As shown, when the first drive unit 3 drives the drive rod 4, the drive rod 4 can rotate around its own axis. The openable and closable design of the second mounting shell 201, combined with the 1 / 4 circle structure of the third mounting shell 202 and the cooperation between the buckle and the slot, enables the user or maintenance personnel to easily open or close the mounting shell 2, which is convenient for the maintenance, cleaning or upgrading of the drive component 11 and the detection component 12, reducing the maintenance cost and time. The detachable connection method provides convenience for checking and adjusting the electrical connection during maintenance, ensures that the electrical connection between the drive component and the detection component and the air conditioner system is stable and reliable, and avoids detection errors or system failures caused by poor connection. The 1 / 4 circle structure design of the third mounting shell 202 not only optimizes space utilization, making the entire device more compact, but also matches the appearance of the air conditioner indoor unit, maintains the overall beauty of the air conditioning system, and improves user acceptance.

The detachable buckle and the card slot match, and the modular design of the third installation shell 202 reduce the manufacturing cost and maintenance cost, and improve the assembly efficiency and production flexibility of the device. This design of the installation shell 2 makes the drive component 11 and the detection component 12 relatively independent, which is convenient for quickly locating the problem component when a fault occurs, and replacing it, reducing the additional cost and time loss caused by overall disassembly. The design of the installation shell 2 that can be opened and closed does not require professional tools and complex operations for users to perform daily cleaning or small-scale adjustments, thereby improving the convenience and satisfaction of user operation. The closed design of the buckle and the slot protects the internal circuit from the external environment (such as dust and moisture) to a certain extent, reduces the risk of electrical failure and improves electrical safety.
