DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0042] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, specific embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0043] In the description of the present invention, it is necessary to understand that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", etc. indicate orientations or positional relationships based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present invention.

[0044] The terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of the features.

[0045] The embodiment of the present invention provides a top cover structure, combined with Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, it includes a plurality of interconnected curved surfaces 13, the outer edges of the plurality of curved surfaces 13 are connected to form a peripheral portion 11 of the top cover 1, and the peripheral portion 11 is installed with a first decorative strip 2; every two adjacent curved surfaces 13 intersect to form a first connecting portion 12, and the first connecting portion 12 is installed with a second decorative strip 3, and the first decorative strip 2 and the second decorative strip 3 are separately arranged.

[0046] Among them, multiple curved surfaces 13 are interconnected to form a top cover 1 with a three-dimensional structure. The top cover 1 is installed on the top of the cabinet air conditioner, and each two adjacent curved surfaces 13 are not tangent to each other. After the second decorative strip 3 is arranged at the connection between the two curved surfaces 13 (i.e., the first connecting portion 12), the three-dimensional effect of the top cover 1 can be significantly enhanced; the first decorative strip 2 and the second decorative strip 3 are located on different surfaces to ensure the three-dimensional effect of the top cover 1.

[0047] In addition, the separately arranged decorative strips enable the first decorative strip 2 and the second decorative strip 3 to be independently controlled and installed, so that the first decorative strip 2 can be better and more easily controlled to be installed on the uneven peripheral portion 11, which greatly reduces the difficulty of assembling the first decorative strip 2. At the same time, the second decorative strip 3 can also be smoothly installed on the first connecting portion 12. Therefore, the split arrangement of the decorative strips can effectively solve the problem that the decorative strips cannot fit tightly with the three-dimensional top cover 1.

[0048] The curvature of the first decorative strip 2 is 360°, that is, the first decorative strip 2 is tightly arranged around the peripheral portion 11 of the top cover 1, and the peripheral portion 11 refers to a circle position at the outermost edge of the top cover 1; the first decorative strip 2 is a three-dimensional annular structure, and is integrally formed as a whole, with a smooth and complete circumference to set off the three-dimensional shape of the top cover 1; the second decorative strip 3 is an arc structure, and the curvature of the arc structure is designed according to the number and combined shape of the curved surfaces 13.

[0049] The projection of the peripheral portion 11 of the top cover 1 in the vertical direction of the cabinet air conditioner completely coincides with the projection of the outer contour of the cabinet air conditioner in the vertical direction, thereby ensuring that the top cover 1 is designed as a three-dimensional structure to enhance the overall aesthetics of the air conditioner, while also ensuring that the top cover 1 can be smoothly installed on the top of the cabinet air conditioner without increasing the overall volume of the cabinet air conditioner.

[0050] At least one end of the second decorative strip 3 is connected to the inner wall of the first decorative strip 2, the first connecting portion 12 has a concave cavity for placing the second decorative strip 3, and the peripheral portion 11 has a step for placing the first decorative strip 2. When the first decorative strip 2 and the second decorative strip 3 are both installed on the top cover 1, the upper surface of the second decorative strip 3 is flush with the upper surface of the first decorative strip 2 at the connection with the first decorative strip 2, so as to ensure the continuity of the contour of the top cover 1 and enhance the overall aesthetics; at the connection between the first decorative strip 2 and the second decorative strip 3, the first decorative strip 2 is provided with a trumpet shape, the outer arc line of the trumpet shape is a part of the first decorative strip 2, and the inner arc line of the trumpet shape is tangently connected to the second decorative strip 3, so as to ensure the overall continuity of the decorative strips, thereby presenting a better visual effect.

[0051] In the present embodiment, the first decorative strip 2 and the second decorative strip 3 are designed to be separate structures, which not only enables the first decorative strip 2 to be tightly connected to the peripheral portion 11 of the top cover 1, but also enables the second decorative strip 3 to be tightly connected to the first connecting portions 12 of the two curved surfaces 13, thereby greatly reducing the assembly gap between the decorative strip and the top cover 1; and the decorative strip is divided into multiple sections for manufacturing and processing. This design structure has a high assembly fault tolerance rate, which helps to compensate for assembly errors. In addition, the separately arranged decorative strips make the processing mold simpler and reduce the mold processing cost.

[0052] Preferably, a plurality of first connecting components 4 are provided between the first decorative strip 2 and the peripheral portion 11. The first decorative strip 2 and the peripheral portion 11 are fixedly connected to each other through the first connecting components 4, and installation and disassembly are very convenient. Moreover, the first connecting components 4 have a strong deformation ability. Even if the curvature of the first decorative strip 2 is large, the first connecting components 4 can be smoothly fixed on the peripheral portion 11 without the first connecting components being broken.

[0053] Combination Figures 3 to 6As shown, the first connecting component 4 includes a claw 41 and a protruding column 42 cooperating with the claw 41 . The claw 41 is protrudingly arranged on the lower surface of the first decorative strip 2 , and the protruding column 42 is arranged on the peripheral portion 11 .

[0054] The first connecting component 4 is evenly arranged on an outer circumference of the top cover 1, that is, the claws 41 are evenly arranged on a circle of the lower surface of the first decorative strip 2, and the opening of the claws 41 is downward. When the first decorative strip 2 is installed to the peripheral portion 11, the claws 41 move downward and clamp the boss 42; the boss 42 protrudes outward by a certain height in the horizontal direction, so that the position of the claws 41 relative to the boss 42 in the inner and outer directions can be adjusted, so that the first decorative strip 2 can be better installed on the top cover 1 in the inner and outer directions, and the assembly error requirement of the first decorative strip 2 and the top cover 1 is reduced; in addition, the claws 41 also have a certain depth in the up and down directions, so as to adjust the position of the claws 41 relative to the boss 42 in the up and down directions, so that the first decorative strip 2 can be tightly fitted with the peripheral portion 11 in the up and down directions, and the assembly error requirement of the mutual assembly of the claws 41 and the boss 42 is reduced.

[0055] In this embodiment, a structure in which a claw 41 and a boss 42 cooperate to connect is provided to achieve a fixed connection between the first decorative strip 2 and the top cover 1. This structure is simple and reliable, and has a high fault tolerance rate. It is convenient for fine-tuning the relative position between the first decorative strip 2 and the top cover 1, and can adapt to the fixed installation operation of decorative strips with larger curvatures.

[0056] Preferably, combined Figure 6 , Fig.11 , Fig.12 As shown, the claw 41 includes two elastic arms 411 arranged opposite to each other. A protrusion 412 is provided on the inner side of each elastic arm 411 . When the first decorative strip 2 is installed on the peripheral portion 11 , the protrusion 412 abuts against the outer wall of the boss 42 .

[0057] The elastic arm 411 has a certain elasticity and can be deformed by external force. The protrusion 412 is set at the opening of the claw 41. The distance between the two protrusions 412 is smaller than the diameter of the boss 42. When the first decorative strip 2 is installed on the peripheral portion 11, the boss 42 can be squeezed into the claw 41 from between the two protrusions 412. The distance between the two claws 41 is larger than the diameter of the boss 42. The boss 42 can move in the claw 41 to adjust the assembly position between the first decorative strip 2 and the top cover 1; but when the boss 42 moves to the position of the protrusion 412, it can be blocked by the protrusion 412 to prevent the claw 41 from being separated from the boss 42, thereby ensuring the firmness of the connection between the first decorative strip 2 and the top cover 1.

[0058] In this embodiment, an elastic arm 411 and a protrusion 412 are provided on the elastic arm 411 to realize the mutual connection between the first decorative strip 2 and the peripheral portion 11. On the one hand, the connection structure is simple and convenient to process. On the other hand, the position between the first decorative strip 2 and the top cover 1 can be fine-tuned, thereby ensuring that the first decorative strip 2 can be smoothly and reliably installed on the peripheral portion 11 of the top cover 1.

[0059] Preferably, combined Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 6 , Figure 8 , Fig. 9 and Fig.12 As shown, the peripheral portion 11 is provided with an inserting hole 111 that cooperates with the claw 41, and the upper edge of the inserting hole 111 abuts against the lower surface of the first decorative strip 2. A limiting boss 413 is provided on the outer side of at least one elastic arm 411. When the first decorative strip 2 is installed on the peripheral portion 11, the limiting boss 413 abuts against the lower edge of the inserting hole 111.

[0060] The plug hole 111 is arranged above the boss 42 , and the inner wall size of the plug hole 111 is larger than the outer size of the claw 41 , which helps the claw 41 to smoothly pass through the plug hole 111 and cooperate with the boss 42 , and also ensures that the claw 41 can move properly in the plug hole 111 .

[0061] The limiting boss 413 is in the shape of a horizontal hook, that is, the limiting boss 413 can be disengaged from the plug-in hole 111 when subjected to a force in the horizontal direction, which makes disassembly easy and repeated disassembly and assembly will not damage the appearance of the claw 41; through the limiting boss 413, the lower edge of the first decorative strip 2 is tightly fitted with the upper edge of the plug-in hole 111 (that is, the upper edge of the peripheral portion 11), thereby effectively reducing the assembly gap between the first decorative strip 2 and the top cover 1, and preventing the claw 41 from falling out when subjected to an upward force, thereby ensuring a firm connection between the first decorative strip 2 and the peripheral portion 11; when the first decorative strip 2 needs to be removed, the elastic arm 411 provided with the limiting boss 413 can be pressed inwardly, and when the limiting boss 413 is disengaged from the lower edge of the plug-in hole 111, an upward force is applied to the claw 41, so that the claw 41 and the boss 42 are disengaged from each other, thereby realizing the removal of the first decorative strip 2 from the top cover 1.

[0062] In this embodiment, a plug-in hole 111 is provided to realize a pre-positioning effect on the installation of the first decorative strip 2, so that the claw 41 can be efficiently and conveniently connected and matched with the boss 42, and a limiting boss 413 is provided to cooperate with the plug-in hole 111, so that the assembly between the first decorative strip 2 and the top cover 1 is more secure.

[0063] Preferably, if Figure 3As shown, the outer edges of the plurality of curved surfaces 13 are connected at the connection of the peripheral portion 11 via an arc transition, and the connecting line of the outer edges is not on the same plane, but is located on a three-dimensional curved surface to enhance the three-dimensional effect of the first decorative strip 2 .

[0064] In this embodiment, the outer edges of the plurality of curved surfaces 13 are connected by arc transition, so that the first decorative strip 2 on the top cover 1 is smooth and complete when viewed from all angles of the cabinet air conditioner, thereby greatly improving the overall aesthetics.

[0065] In other embodiments, Fig.15 As shown, the top cover 1 also includes a top cover bottom surface 14, the circumference of the top cover bottom surface 14 is connected to the inner edge of each curved surface 13 to form a second connecting portion 15, and the second connecting portion 15 is installed with a third decorative strip (not shown in the figure).

[0066] Among them, the bottom surface 14 of the top cover is a plane or an arc surface, each curved surface 13 has the same shape and size, and is evenly arranged on a circumference of the bottom surface 14 of the top cover, forming a lotus-shaped top cover 1 with a unique appearance, which improves the overall aesthetics of the cabinet air conditioner; the curved surface 13 and the bottom surface 14 of the top cover are not tangent to each other in order to enhance the three-dimensional effect; the inner edges of each curved surface 13 are adjacent to form a circle, that is, the second connecting portion 15 is circular, and the third decorative strip can also be connected to the bottom surface 14 of the top cover using the first connecting component 4.

[0067] In this embodiment, a top cover bottom surface 14 is added to the top cover 1, so that the top cover 1 presents a lotus-shaped structure, making the structure of the top cover 1 more diversified and satisfying the visual experience of the user.

[0068] In some embodiments, the curvature of the second decorative strip 3 is greater than or equal to 180°, and a plurality of the above-mentioned first connecting components 4 are disposed between the second decorative strip 3 and the first connecting portion 12 .

[0069] A plurality of claws 41 are evenly arranged on the lower surface of the second decorative strip 3, the openings of the claws 41 face downward, and a plurality of bosses 42 are protruded from the first connecting portion 12, and the claws 41 and the bosses 42 are matched and connected one by one; when the second decorative strip 3 is installed to the first connecting portion 12, the claws 41 move downward and clamp the bosses 42; the bosses 42 protrude outwardly by a certain height in the horizontal direction, so that the position of the claws 41 relative to the bosses 42 in the inward and outward directions can be adjusted, so that the second decorative strip 3 can be better installed on the top cover 1, and the assembly error requirement of the second decorative strip 3 and the top cover 1 is reduced; in addition, the claws 41 also have a certain depth in the up and down directions, so that the position of the claws 41 relative to the bosses 42 in the up and down directions can be adjusted, so that the second decorative strip 3 can be tightly fitted with the first connecting portion 12 in the up and down directions, and the assembly error requirement of the claws 41 and the bosses 42 is reduced.

[0070] In this embodiment, the curvature of the second decorative strip 3 is relatively large, and the second decorative strip 3 is connected and fixed to the first connecting portion 12 by using the first connecting component 4 with strong deformation ability, so that the connection between the second decorative strip 3 and the top cover 1 is more firm and reliable, and the qualified rate of assembly can be guaranteed.

[0071] In other embodiments, in combination Figure 7 , Fig.10 , Fig.13 and Fig.14 As shown, the curvature of the second decorative strip 3 is less than 180°, and a plurality of second connecting components 5 are provided between the second decorative strip 3 and the first connecting portion 12. The second connecting components 5 include a buckle 51 and a slot 52 cooperating with the buckle 51. The buckle 51 is protruding from the lower surface of the second decorative strip 3, and the slot 52 is provided in the first connecting portion 12. The buckle 51 is provided with a planar hook 512, and the slot 52 is provided with a boss 521 cooperating with the planar hook 512.

[0072] A plurality of buckles 51 are evenly arranged on the lower surface of the second decorative strip 3, and a side wall of the slot 52 protrudes downward to a certain height to form a boss 521. Two ribs 511 are provided on the back of the buckle 51. The ribs 511, on the one hand, enhance the anti-deformation strength of the buckle 51, and on the other hand, limit the position of the buckle 51 in the slot 52 to prevent the buckle 51 from moving in the slot 52, thereby increasing the connection strength between the second decorative strip 3 and the first connecting portion 12.

[0073] In this embodiment, the curvature of the second decorative strip 3 is relatively small, and the second decorative strip 3 is connected to the first connecting portion 12 by using a second connecting component 5 with relatively high anti-deformation strength.

[0075] The inner wall size of the insertion hole 54 is consistent with or slightly larger than the outer size of the insertion piece 53, so that the second decorative strip 3 and the first connecting portion 12 can be connected more tightly; the insertion piece 53 and the buckle 51 are arranged at intervals from each other, which reduces the number of buckles 51 on the second decorative strip 3, making installation and disassembly more convenient, and ensures that the assembly gap between the second decorative strip 3 and the top cover 1 is reduced.

[0076] In the present embodiment, the structure of the insert piece 53 and the insert hole 54 can, on the one hand, play a role in preliminary positioning of the installation of the second decorative strip 3, so that the second decorative strip 3 can be smoothly installed to the first connecting portion 12; on the other hand, under the premise of ensuring that the assembly gap between the second decorative strip 3 and the top cover 1 is small, the second decorative strip 3 can be more conveniently disassembled and installed, thereby improving production efficiency.

[0077] Another embodiment of the present invention provides an air conditioner, comprising the top cover structure described above.

[0078] In the present embodiment, the first decorative strip 2 and the second decorative strip 3 are designed to be separate structures, which not only enables the first decorative strip 2 to be tightly connected to the peripheral portion 11 of the top cover 1, but also enables the second decorative strip 3 to be tightly connected to the first connecting portions 12 of the two curved surfaces 13, thereby greatly reducing the assembly gap between the decorative strip and the top cover 1; and the decorative strip is divided into multiple sections for manufacturing and processing. This design structure has a high assembly fault tolerance rate, which helps to compensate for assembly errors. In addition, the separately arranged decorative strips make the processing mold simpler and reduce the mold processing cost.

[0079] Although the present invention is disclosed as above, the present invention is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention shall be subject to the scope defined by the claims.
