[0043] Figure 1 This is a schematic structural diagram of an embedded air conditioner indoor unit according to an embodiment of the present invention, such as... Figure 1 As shown, and refer to Figures 2 to 8 This utility model provides an embedded air conditioner indoor unit. The embedded air conditioner indoor unit includes an indoor unit body 10, at least two mounting brackets 20, and fasteners.
[0044] The lower surface of the indoor unit body 10 is provided with at least two sliding grooves 11 extending in the front-to-back direction, and the at least two sliding grooves 11 are arranged sequentially in the lateral direction; the front panel 12 of the indoor unit body 10 is provided with a first through hole 121 that runs through the front and back.
[0045] Each mounting bracket 20 includes a sliding bracket 21 extending in the front-rear direction; each sliding bracket 21 is located in a groove 11; each sliding bracket 21 has an upward-facing locking hole 211 at its front end.
[0046] The fastening element includes an elastic arm 141 and a latching protrusion 142. The elastic arm 141 extends in a front-to-back direction, and the latching protrusion 142 is disposed at the lower part of the elastic arm 141. The rear end of the elastic arm 141 is connected to the indoor unit body 10, and the latching protrusion 142 is inserted downward into the latching hole 211. When the latching protrusion 142 is in the latching position, that is, when the latching protrusion 142 is located in the latching hole 211, the front end of the elastic arm 141 is inserted into the first through hole 121, and there is a first gap between the upper surface of the elastic arm 141 and the upper wall of the first through hole 121. That is to say, a first operating space is formed in the first through hole 121 for the front end of the elastic arm 141 to move upward; or, the front end of the elastic arm 141 is close to the first through hole 121.
[0047] During assembly, first fix the mounting bracket 20 to the wall of the embedded space, then align the sliding grooves 11 on the indoor unit body 10 with the sliding brackets 21 of the mounting bracket 20, and then push the indoor unit body 10 into the embedded space along the sliding brackets 21 in the direction from front to back until the latching protrusions 142 on the indoor unit body 10 are engaged with the latching holes 211 at the front end of the sliding brackets 21, thus completing the installation of the embedded air conditioner indoor unit.
[0048] After the indoor unit body 10 is installed, the gap between the top of the indoor unit body 10 and the top wall of the embedded space is very small. The top wall of the embedded space can prevent the indoor unit body 10 from tilting forward due to external factors such as vibration during the process, thus improving the installation stability of the indoor unit body 10.
[0049] When disassembly is required, the operator pushes the front end of the elastic arm 141 upward through the first through hole 121 on the front panel 12, thereby causing the locking protrusion 142 to move upward and disengage the locking protrusion 142 from the locking hole 211; then the indoor unit body 10 is slid in the opposite direction to separate the indoor unit body 10 from the mounting bracket 20 and remove it from the embedded space.
[0050] In this embodiment, the sliding engagement of the sliding bracket 21 and the sliding groove 11, combined with the engagement of the latch protrusion and the latch hole 211, enables convenient disassembly and assembly of the indoor unit body 10 and the mounting bracket 20, thereby improving the maintainability and installation efficiency of the embedded air conditioner indoor unit.
[0051] Furthermore, by providing a first through hole 121 on the front panel 12, the operator can directly and quickly apply an upward pushing force to the front end of the elastic arm 141 through the first through hole 121, thereby easily engaging the release protrusion 142 with the locking hole 211, and thus making it easier to disassemble the indoor unit body 10.
[0052] like Figure 3 As shown, in some optional embodiments of this utility model, when the latching protrusion 142 is in the latching position, the front end of the elastic arm 141 is flush with the front opening of the first through hole 121. This design allows the operator to apply force directly to the front end of the elastic arm 141 with their fingers without the need for tools, significantly improving the convenience of the disassembly operation.
[0053] like Figure 3 As shown, in some optional embodiments of this utility model, when the latching protrusion 142 is in the latching position, there is a second distance between the lower surface of the elastic arm 141 and the lower wall of the first through hole 121, and the second distance is greater than the first distance. That is, when the latching protrusion 142 is inside the latching hole 211, a second operating space is also formed inside the first through hole 121. The second operating space is located below the elastic arm 141, and the height of the second operating space is greater than the height of the first operating space.
[0054] In this embodiment, the larger second operating space below facilitates the insertion of fingers into the first perforation 121, thereby making it easier to apply an upward force to the elastic arm 141.
[0055] like Figure 5As shown, in some optional embodiments of this utility model, each sliding frame 21 is provided with a limiting part 212, which is located at the lower part of the card hole 211 and is used to limit the movement of the card protrusion 142 in the front-back direction.
[0056] In this embodiment, when the protrusion 142 is located inside the hole 211, the limiting part 212 provides bidirectional constraint on the protrusion 142, thereby retaining the vertical degree of freedom of disassembly while completely eliminating the back-and-forth movement of the buckle caused by the vibration of the air conditioner operation, thus improving the installation stability.
[0057] like Figure 5 As shown, in some optional embodiments of this utility model, the front surface of the latching protrusion 142 gradually slopes downward from front to back, and the rear surface gradually slopes downward from back to front. The rear and front surfaces of the latching protrusion 142 have a rounded transition. The limiting portion 212 has a limiting surface adapted to the latching protrusion 142. The limiting surface includes a front guide slope 2121 and a rear guide slope 2122, which are arranged in a similar V-shape.
[0058] In this embodiment, when the locking protrusion 142 is in the locking position, its front surface contacts the front guide slope 2121 of the limiting part 212, and its rear surface contacts the rear guide slope 2122 simultaneously. This allows for a larger contact area between the locking protrusion 142 and the limiting part 212, and also achieves a double wedge self-locking effect, thus providing a better limiting effect. Furthermore, the rounded transition between the rear and front surfaces of the locking protrusion 142 reduces resistance during the installation and removal of the indoor unit, and also reduces wear on the locking protrusion 142.
[0059] In some optional embodiments of this utility model, the limiting part 212 includes a first limiting post and a second limiting post, which are respectively disposed on the front and rear sides of the card hole 211.
[0060] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some optional embodiments of this utility model, the lower part of the front panel 12 of the indoor unit body 10 is provided with an air outlet 101 extending in the horizontal direction; a first through hole 121 is provided around the air outlet 101; a guide plate 103 is also provided on the front panel 12, which is used to open or close the air outlet 101 and the first through hole 121. The guide plate 103 can also be used to adjust the air outlet angle.
[0061] In this embodiment, the projected area of the air guide plate 103 is greater than the total area of the air outlet 101 and the first perforation 121, so that when the air outlet 101 is closed, the first perforation 121 is completely covered and dustproofed simultaneously. When the indoor unit is working normally, the air guide plate 103 is used to adjust the air outlet angle of the air outlet 101; when it is necessary to remove the indoor unit body 10 from the mounting bracket 20, the air guide plate 103 is opened to expose the first perforation 121, so that the elastic arm 141 can be lifted upward.
[0062] like Figure 2 As shown, in some optional embodiments of this utility model, the indoor unit of the embedded air conditioner includes two mounting brackets 20. Correspondingly, there are two first through holes 121 on the front panel 12, which are located on both sides of the air outlet 101 in the lateral direction.
[0063] In some optional embodiments of this utility model, the air guide plate 103 may not cover the first perforation 121 when it is closed.
[0064] In some alternative embodiments of this invention, the top wall 1331 of the chute forms an elastic arm 141.
[0065] like Figures 5 to 8 As shown, in some optional embodiments of this utility model, the slide 11 has a slide top wall 1331, and the elastic arm 141 is located above the slide top wall 1331; a second through hole 112 is provided on the top wall of each slide 11; the locking protrusion 142 extends downward from the second through hole 112 and is inserted into the locking hole 211.
[0066] In some optional embodiments of this utility model, the sliding bracket 21 is located on the upper side of the lower surface of the indoor unit body 10; the lower surface of the indoor unit body 10 is configured to contact and abut against the bottom wall 1333 of the embedded space.
[0067] In this embodiment, the large-area contact between the lower surface of the indoor unit body 10 and the bottom wall 1333 of the embedded space can significantly improve the vertical stability and anti-tipping ability of the indoor unit body 10 during installation.
[0068] Furthermore, the increased contact area effectively distributes the weight of the indoor unit body 10, preventing deformation of the bottom wall 1333 of the embedded space, thus enhancing the overall reliability of the embedded installation and the safety of long-term use.
[0069] like Figure 8As shown, in some optional embodiments of this utility model, the indoor unit of the embedded air conditioner further includes a housing 13, which has a first sidewall 131 and a second sidewall 132 disposed opposite to each other. The housing 13 has two bent walls 133, one bent wall 133 is formed by bending from the lower end of the first sidewall 131 toward the second sidewall 132, and the other bent wall 133 is formed by bending from the lower end of the second sidewall 132 toward the first sidewall 131.
[0070] Each bent wall 133 has a groove top wall 1331, a groove top wall 1331, and a bottom wall 1333. The groove top wall 1331 is connected to the lower end of the corresponding first side wall 131 or second side wall 132. The groove side wall 1332 extends downward from the groove top wall 1331 and defines a groove 11 with the groove top wall 1331. The bottom wall 1333 is connected to the lower end of the groove side wall 1332, and the lower surface of the bottom wall 1333 is a portion of the lower surface of the indoor unit body 10.
[0071] In this embodiment, by bending the wall 133, the slide 11 and the load-bearing bottom wall 1333 can be integrated into a single stamping process, which can significantly improve the production efficiency of the embedded air conditioner indoor unit.
[0072] like Figure 7 As shown, in some optional embodiments of this utility model, the sliding frame 21 includes a sliding support portion and a snap-fit plate. The sliding support portion extends in the front-rear direction; the snap-fit plate extends horizontally forward from the top of the sliding support portion, and a snap-fit hole 211 is provided on the snap-fit plate. In this embodiment, the snap-fit hole 211 is provided on the snap-fit plate to facilitate the processing of the snap-fit hole 211 and the limiting portion 212.
[0073] like Figure 1 As shown, in some optional embodiments of this utility model, each mounting bracket 20 further includes a fixed mounting bracket 22, which is disposed on the rear side of the indoor unit body 10 and used for fixed connection with the rear wall of the embedded space. At least two sliding brackets 21 are connected to at least two fixed mounting brackets 22 in a one-to-one correspondence.
[0074] Specifically, the mounting bracket 22 can be fixed to the rear wall of the embedded space by the first screw.
[0075] In this embodiment, the sliding frame 21 is fixedly mounted in the embedded space by a fixed mounting bracket 22. By providing the fixed mounting bracket 22, the contact area between the entire mounting frame 20 and the inner wall of the embedded space can be increased, thereby increasing the installation stability of the mounting frame 20.
[0076] In some optional embodiments of this utility model, the sliding frame 21 is fixedly connected to the bottom wall 1333 of the embedded space.
[0077] Specifically, the sliding bracket 21 can be fixed to the bottom wall 1333 of the embedded space by a second screw.
