Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of air conditioners, and in particular to an air conditioner sliding door and an air conditioner. Background Art

[0002] Cabinet air conditioners generally have two sliding doors that can slide relative to each other at the air outlet. When the air outlet needs to be closed, the two sliding doors will move closer to each other to block the air outlet. When the air conditioner needs to work, the two sliding doors will move away from each other to open the air outlet.

[0003] However, since the sliding door installed in the cabinet air conditioner is relatively long, the sliding door will swing back and forth during the movement of the sliding door; and the sliding door generally realizes relative movement with the air conditioner body through a transmission assembly, but due to the virtual position and gap in the transmission assembly, when the sliding door moves to the closed position, there will often be misalignment or steps, and the transmission assembly is generally a plastic part. When the transmission assembly supports the movement of the sliding door for a long time, it is prone to wear, which will also cause the transmission assembly to loosen, thereby causing misalignment or steps. Summary of the invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0073] 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.

[0074] 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.

[0075] In this article, the X direction represents the moving direction of the sliding door, the positive X direction represents the direction of closing the first sliding door, the negative X direction represents the direction of closing the second sliding door, the positive Y direction represents the direction toward the outside of the sliding door, the negative Y direction represents the direction toward the inside of the sliding door, and the inside of the sliding door is closer to the internal components of the air conditioner, the positive Z direction represents the upper side, that is, toward the top of the air conditioner, and the negative Z direction represents the lower side.

[0076] 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.

[0077] The sliding door of a cabinet air conditioner is generally longer, which can easily cause the sliding door to shake back and forth during movement, affecting the user experience; the sliding door is moved to close and open the air outlet, wherein the movement of the sliding door is achieved by the transmission of the transmission assembly. However, since there are virtual positions and gaps in the transmission assembly, when the sliding door moves to the position of closing the air outlet, the sliding door may move slightly inward or outward, especially for a cabinet air conditioner with double sliding doors. When the air outlet is closed, if one of the sliding doors shifts toward the inside of the air conditioner and the other sliding door shifts toward the outside of the air conditioner, there will be an obvious misalignment between the two sliding doors, creating steps, which seriously affects the overall appearance of the air conditioner.

[0078] Therefore, the present invention provides an air conditioning sliding door, combined with Fig.18 , Fig.19 , Fig.29 , Fig.30 , Fig.31 , Fig.32 , Fig.34 and Fig.35As shown, it includes a sliding door body 10, a sliding door limiting structure and a transmission component limiting structure are arranged between the sliding door body 10 and the air conditioner body 16, a guide slide 13 is arranged on the air conditioner body 16, and the sliding door limiting structure is provided with a limiting groove 11 cooperating with the guide slide 13, the guide slide 7 is in contact with the side wall of the limiting groove, and there is static friction when the guide slide 7 and the limiting groove move relative to each other, so as to limit the sliding door body 10 in the inner and outer directions during the movement, that is, there is rolling friction between the guide slide 7 and the limiting groove, and a lining plate 12 is arranged on the inner wall of the sliding door body, and the sliding door body 10 and the lining plate 12 cooperate with each other to form the limiting groove 11. The transmission component limiting structure includes an active member 14 and a driven member 15 driven by the active member 14, the active member 14 is installed on the air conditioner body 16, the sliding door body 10 is hung on the driven member 15, the driven member 15 is provided with a first limiting portion 151, the air conditioner body 16 is provided with a second limiting portion 161 cooperating with the first limiting portion 151, and when the first limiting portion 151 and the second limiting portion 161 cooperate with each other and stop moving, the sliding door body 10 is limited in the inner and outer directions.

[0079] Among them, the sliding door body 10 includes a second sliding door 102 and a first sliding door 10101 which are symmetrically arranged with each other, and the inner wall of the second sliding door 102 and the inner wall of the first sliding door 10101 are respectively provided with a second lining plate 122 and a first lining plate 121, and the guide sliding member 13 includes a second guide sliding member 132 and a first guide sliding member 131, the second lining plate 122 is provided with a second limiting groove 112 which cooperates with the second guide sliding member 132, and the first lining plate 121 is provided with a first limiting groove 111 which cooperates with the first guide sliding member 131.

[0080] The guide member 13 is preferably a bearing, and the rotating shaft of the bearing is located in the up and down direction. The outer diameter of the bearing of the second guide member 132 is slightly smaller than the width of the second limit groove 112 in the inside-outside direction of the air conditioner (that is, the front-to-back direction), and the bearing of the first guide member 131 is slightly smaller than the width of the first limit groove 111 in the inside-outside direction. Generally, the gap distance between the bearing and the second limit groove 112 or the first limit groove 111 is set to 0.5 mm, which allows the bearing to slide freely in the second limit groove 112 or the first limit groove 111, and limits the position of the sliding door in the inside-outside direction of the air conditioner, thereby ensuring that the sliding door will not produce obvious shaking in the front-to-back direction during movement.

[0081] The openings of the second limiting groove 112 and the first limiting groove 111 are both facing downward, the bottom surface of the second limiting groove 112 in the depth direction abuts against the top of the second guide sliding member 132, and the bottom surface of the first limiting groove 111 in the depth direction abuts against the top of the first guide sliding member 131. When the sliding door is installed on the air conditioner body, the second limiting groove 112 is hung to the outside of the second guide sliding member 132, and the first limiting groove 111 is hung to the outside of the first guide sliding member 131.

[0082] The second limiting groove 112 is a chamber formed between the second sliding door 102 and the second lining plate 122, and the first limiting groove 111 is a chamber formed between the first sliding door 10101 and the first lining plate 121. In addition, the second limiting groove 112 can also be a chamber directly formed on the second lining plate 122, and the first limiting groove 111 can be a chamber directly formed on the first lining plate 121.

[0083] The length of the second limiting groove 112 in the sliding door moving direction (i.e., the left and right direction) is the maximum distance that the second sliding door 102 can slide relative to the air conditioner body in the sliding door moving direction, and the length of the first limiting groove 111 in the sliding door moving direction is the maximum distance that the first sliding door 10101 can slide relative to the air conditioner body in the sliding door moving direction.

[0084] When there is only one second lining plate 122, the second lining plate 122 is installed in the middle position of the second sliding door 102 in the up-down direction to ensure that the second sliding door 102 does not shake during movement; when there are multiple second lining plates 122, these second lining plates 122 are evenly spaced in the up-down direction on the inner wall of the second sliding door 102 to further ensure the stability of the second sliding door 102 during movement; similarly, when there is only one first lining plate 121, the first lining plate 121 is installed in the middle position of the first sliding door 10101 in the up-down direction to ensure that the first sliding door 10101 does not shake during movement; when there are multiple first lining plates 121, these first lining plates 121 are evenly spaced in the up-down direction on the inner wall of the first sliding door 10101 to further ensure the stability of the first sliding door 10101 during movement.

[0085] The active member 14 is connected to the motor, and the motor provides driving force to drive the active member 14 to operate. The operation of the active member 14 drives the operation of the driven member 15. The positions of the driven member 15 and the sliding door are fixed to each other. When the driven member 15 is driven by the active member 14 and moves along the moving direction of the sliding door, the sliding door will also move synchronously with the driven member 15.

[0086] When the follower 15 stops running relative to the active member 14, due to the virtual position between the active member 14 and the follower 15, the follower 15 will shift in the inner and outer directions, thereby driving the sliding door to shift in the inner and outer directions. When the virtual position is large, the displacement distance of the sliding door inward or outward will also be large, which may cause the edge of the sliding door to be misaligned with other adjacent components, forming a step. Since the sliding door is an appearance part, in order not to affect the overall appearance of the sliding door, the transmission component limiting structure is arranged on the inner side of the sliding door, which has the effect of hiding the limiting structure. Specifically, a first limiting portion 151 is arranged at one end of the follower 15 in the moving direction of the sliding door. When the first limiting portion 151 cooperates with the second limiting portion 161 on the air conditioner body 16, the projections of the first limiting portion 151 and the second limiting portion 161 in the inner and outer directions both fall completely into the sliding door, thereby playing the role of hiding the transmission component limiting structure and ensuring the overall aesthetics of the air conditioner.

[0087] The air conditioner body 16 has a front panel, and the air outlet is arranged on the front panel, wherein the second limiter 161 can be arranged at the two side edges of the front panel, and the first limiter 151 of the follower 15 moves along the sliding door moving direction to the two side edges of the front panel until the first limiter 151 and the second limiter 161 are matched with each other and stop moving. Fig.38 As shown, the follower 2 is provided with a first limit block 23, and the air conditioner body 3 is provided with a second limit block 33. When the first limit portion 21 and the second limit portion 31 are matched with each other, the first limit block 23 also abuts against the second limit block 33 to realize the position of the sliding door in the moving direction of the sliding door.

[0088] In this embodiment, lining plates are respectively provided on the two sliding doors, and limiting grooves are provided on the lining plates. The limiting grooves are matched with the guide sliding parts 13 of the air conditioner body to ensure that the sliding doors will not rock back and forth during movement, thereby ensuring the stability of the sliding doors during movement, reducing the noise generated by the movement of the sliding doors, and improving the user experience; a limiting structure is provided between the driven part 15 of the transmission assembly and the air conditioner body 16, and the mutual cooperation of the first limiting part 151 and the second limiting part 161 realizes the limitation of the sliding door in the inner and outer directions, thereby ensuring that the relative position between the sliding door and the air conditioner body 16 is fixed or the relative position between the two sliding doors is fixed, improving stability, and preventing misalignment or steps from occurring at the connection between the sliding door and the air conditioner body 16 or the connection between the two sliding doors, thereby ensuring the overall aesthetics of the air conditioner.

[0089] Preferably, the second lining plate 122 and the first lining plate 121 are symmetrical to each other with respect to the axis of symmetry between the second sliding door 102 and the first sliding door 10101, and the second lining plate 122 and the first lining plate 121 are symmetrical to each other with respect to the center.

[0090] The central symmetry between the second lining plate 122 and the first lining plate 121 means that the second lining plate 122 can completely overlap with the first lining plate 121 after rotating 180° around the center of symmetry, thereby achieving the mutual compatibility of the structure of the second lining plate 122 and the structure of the first lining plate 121.

[0091] In this embodiment, the second lining plate 122 and the first lining plate 121 are designed to be centrally symmetrical, so that the second lining plate 122 and the first lining plate 121 can be used interchangeably, thereby reducing the mold opening cost of the lining plate and improving the installation efficiency.

[0092] In some embodiments, in combination Fig. 20 , Fig.25 , Fig.26 , Fig. 27 and Fig.28 As shown, the second lining plate 122 and the first lining plate 121 are respectively provided with a second limiting groove 112 and a first limiting groove 111 which are symmetrical with each other in the upper and lower directions.

[0093] The second limiting groove 112 and the first limiting groove 111 are respectively provided on the second lining plate 122 and the first lining plate 121, so that the second lining plate 122 and the first lining plate 121 are both symmetrical structures in the upper and lower parts; wherein, the second limiting groove 112 of the second lining plate 122 is located below the first limiting groove 111, at this time, the second guide slide 132 cooperates with the second limiting groove 112, and the second lining plate 122 can be used as the first lining plate 121 after being rotated 180° around the center of symmetry, at this time, the second limiting groove 112 of the first lining plate 121 is located above the first limiting groove 111, and the first guide slide 131 cooperates with the first limiting groove 111.

[0094] In this embodiment, a second limiting groove 112 and a first limiting groove 111 which are symmetrical to each other in the upper and lower directions are arranged on the same lining plate, so that when the lining plate is installed on the second sliding door 102 or the first sliding door 10101, one of the limiting grooves located at the bottom is selected to cooperate with the guide member 13. The structure is simple and the processing is convenient, which can greatly improve the processing and assembly efficiency.

[0095] In other embodiments, the second lining plate 122 and the first lining plate 121 are both provided with limiting through holes, and a limiting plate abutting against the guide member 13 is slidably connected in the limiting through holes; the limiting through holes of the second lining plate 122 and the limiting plate form a second limiting groove 112, and the limiting through holes of the first lining plate 121 and the limiting plate form a first limiting groove 111.

[0096] Among them, a slide rail or a slide groove is set on the inner wall of the limiting through hole, and a slide groove or a slide rail matched with the slide rail or the slide groove is set on the limiting plate. The limiting plate can slide down to the lowest position of the limiting through hole under its own gravity. Therefore, when the second lining plate 122 is installed on the second sliding door 102, the limiting plate first slides down to the lowest position of the limiting through hole under the action of its own gravity. When the second sliding door 102 is hung on the second guide slide 132, the second guide slide 132 pushes the limiting plate upward to the uppermost position of the limiting through hole. At this time, A second limiting groove 112 is formed in the limiting through hole; the second lining plate 122 can be used as the first lining plate 121 after being rotated 180° around the center of symmetry. When the first lining plate 121 is installed on the second sliding door 102, the limiting plate slides down to the bottom of the limiting through hole due to its own gravity. When the first sliding door 10101 is hung on the first guide member 131, the first guide member 131 pushes the limiting plate upward to the top of the limiting through hole. At this time, the first limiting groove 111 is formed in the limiting through hole.

[0097] In this embodiment, a limiting through hole is provided on the lining plate, and a slidable limiting plate can be provided in the limiting through hole, so that the lining plate can be respectively installed on two mutually symmetrical sliding doors before and after rotating 180° around the center of symmetry, thereby realizing the versatility of the lining plate structure and high flexibility.

[0098] Preferably, it also includes an installation error-proofing structure.

[0099] The anti-mistake structure is mainly to prevent the same lining plate from being installed at the same position on the same sliding door after rotating 180° around the center of the lining plate, thereby ensuring the uniqueness of the lining plate installation position and facilitating production control. That is, the second lining plate 122 can only be installed on the second sliding door 102 in a certain position state, and the first lining plate 121 can only be installed on the first sliding door 10101 in a certain position state.

[0100] In this embodiment, an error-proofing structure is provided to help ensure the uniqueness of the installation positions of the second lining plate 122 and the first lining plate 121, so as to facilitate management and control during the production process.

[0101] Specifically, the inner wall of the second sliding door 102 and the inner wall of the first sliding door 10101 are respectively fitted with the second lining plate 122 and the first lining plate 121, which on the one hand ensures the compactness of the mutual installation of the lining plate and the sliding door and reduces the requirements for the installation space, and on the other hand limits the relative installation position between the lining plate and the sliding door to ensure the uniqueness of the installation position state.

[0102] The above-mentioned installation error-proofing structure is that the cross-sections of the second sliding door 102 and the first sliding door 10101 in the vertical direction are both asymmetric arc segments, that is, the cross-sections of the second lining plate 122 and the first lining plate 121 in the vertical direction are also asymmetric arc segments; for example, the second lining plate 122 can only be installed on the second sliding door 102 in one position state, that is, the second lining plate 122 cannot be installed on the second sliding door 102 by rotating it 180° around its center; similarly, the first lining plate 121 can only be installed on the first sliding door 10101 in one position state, that is, the first lining plate 121 cannot be installed on the second sliding door 102 by rotating it 180° around its center.

[0103] In this embodiment, two asymmetrical sliding doors are provided so that the lining plate installed on the sliding doors can only be installed on one of the sliding doors in a unique position state, thereby preventing errors in the installation of the lining plate and improving the production qualification rate and processing efficiency.

[0104] Preferably, combined Figure 21 to Figure 24 As shown, the installation error-proofing structure is that the two ends of the second lining plate 122 are respectively provided with a first connecting end 1221 and a second connecting end 1222 of different shapes, and the second sliding door 102 is provided with a first connecting part 1021 and a second connecting part 1022 respectively cooperating with the first connecting end 1221 and the second connecting end 1222.

[0105] Similarly, the two ends of the first lining plate 121 are respectively provided with a third connecting end and a fourth connecting end of different shapes, and the first sliding door 10101 is provided with a third connecting portion and a fourth connecting portion respectively cooperating with the third connecting end and the fourth connecting end; wherein, the first connecting end 1221 and the third connecting end are consistent in shape, the second connecting end 1222 and the fourth connecting end are consistent in shape, the first connecting portion 1021 and the third connecting portion are consistent in shape, and the second connecting portion 1022 and the fourth connecting portion are consistent in shape, so that the second lining plate 122 and the first lining plate 121 can be used interchangeably.

[0106] In this embodiment, connecting ends of different shapes are provided at the two ends of the lining plate, and connecting parts matching the connecting ends are provided on both sides of the sliding door, so that the installation error-proofing structure is more intuitive and easier to detect during the production process, thereby improving the installation qualification rate and assembly efficiency.

[0107] Specifically, the first connecting end 1221 includes a first connecting block 12211 and a second connecting block 12212 that are independent of each other and symmetrical with each other in terms of vertical direction, the second connecting end 1222 includes a third connecting block 12221 and a fourth connecting block 12222 that are connected to each other and symmetrical with each other in terms of vertical direction, the first connecting portion 1021 includes a first connecting piece 10211 and a first limiting baffle 10212 that are independent of each other, the first connecting piece 10211 cooperates with the second connecting block 12212, the first limiting baffle 10212 cooperates with the first connecting block 12211, the second connecting portion 1022 includes a second connecting piece 10221 and a second limiting baffle 10222 that are connected to each other, the second connecting piece 10221 cooperates with the fourth connecting block 12222, and the second limiting baffle 10222 cooperates with the third connecting block 12221.

[0108] The first connecting block 12211 and the second connecting block 12212 are arranged at one end of the second lining plate 122, and screw holes are arranged on the first connecting block 12211 and the second connecting block 12212. The first connecting piece 10211 is also provided with a screw hole that matches the screw hole of the second connecting block 12212. The first limiting baffle 10212 is L-shaped. When the second lining plate 122 is installed on the second sliding door 102, the upper side of the first connecting block 12211 abuts against the first limiting baffle 10212, and the second connecting block 12212 is screwed to the first connecting piece 10211. The third connecting block 12221 and the fourth connecting block 12222 are arranged at the other end of the second lining plate 122, and screw holes are provided on the third connecting block 12221 and the fourth connecting block 12222. The second connecting piece 10221 is provided with a screw hole that matches the screw hole of the fourth connecting block 12222, and the second limiting baffle 10222 is L-shaped. When the first lining plate 121 is installed on the first sliding door 10101, the upper part of the third connecting block 12221 abuts against the second limiting baffle 10222, and the fourth connecting block 12222 is screwed to the second connecting piece 10221.

[0109] The structures of the third connecting end and the fourth connecting end of the first lining plate 121 are respectively consistent with the structures of the first connecting end 1221 and the second connecting end 1222 of the second lining plate 122, and the structures of the third connecting part and the fourth connecting part of the first sliding door 10101 are respectively consistent with the structures of the first connecting part 1021 and the second connecting part 1022 of the second sliding door 102, which will not be repeated here.

[0110] In this embodiment, two upper and lower symmetrical connecting blocks are provided at each end of the lining plate 12 so that the lining plate can be installed on a symmetrical sliding door after rotating around the center of symmetry, thereby ensuring universality; and limit baffles and connecting plates are respectively provided on both sides of the sliding door, thereby making the installation more convenient and reliable, thereby improving the installation efficiency of the lining plate.

[0111] Preferably, combined Fig.35 and Fig.42 As shown, the active member 14 is a gear, and the driven member 15 includes a rack meshing with the gear.

[0112] Among them, the shape of the rack is consistent with the cross-section of the sliding door in the vertical direction, that is, when the cross-section of the sliding door in the vertical direction is straight, the rack is a straight rack, and when the cross-section of the sliding door in the vertical direction is arc-shaped, the rack is an arc-shaped rack.

[0113] The sliding door of the present embodiment is an arc-shaped sliding door, which can rotate around the air conditioner body 16 at a certain angle, but the rotation radius of the sliding door is generally large. When the sliding door needs to make a circular motion at a certain angle, the meshing of the gear and the arc-shaped rack is selected to easily realize the control of the output torque of the motor, so that the rotation of the sliding door can be realized with a smaller output torque, thereby reducing the performance requirements for the motor and reducing costs.

[0114] The rack has a certain width in the up and down directions, so when the rack is meshed with the gear, the contact area is large, making the operation of the sliding door more stable.

[0115] In this embodiment, the rotation of the sliding door is achieved by meshing the gear and the rack, which has a simple structure, is easy to process, and has high stability during the movement of the sliding door.

[0116] In some embodiments, in combination Fig.32 , Fig.35 , Fig.36 As shown, the first limiting portion 151 includes a first groove 1511, the second limiting portion 161 includes a first protrusion 1611 that cooperates with the first groove 1511, the first limiting portion 151 includes two blocks 1512 that are spaced apart and arranged in parallel in the inner and outer directions, the first groove 1511 is formed between the two blocks 1512, and when the first limiting portion 151 and the second limiting portion 161 cooperate with each other, the first protrusion 1611 is located between the two blocks 1512.

[0117] Among them, the stopper 1512 has a certain length in the up and down direction, so that the length of the first groove 1511 in the up and down direction is also longer, and the length of the first protrusion 1611 in the up and down direction shall not be less than the length of the first groove 1511 in the up and down direction, so that the first groove 1511 can be fully matched with the first protrusion 1611, ensuring the effectiveness of the cooperation between the first protrusion 1611 and the first groove 1511, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the sliding door position; the stopper 1512 has a certain thickness in the inner and outer directions to ensure the anti-deformation strength of the stopper 1512.

[0118] The stopper 1512 is formed by extending the end of the follower 15 along the moving direction of the sliding door. The two stoppers 1512 are parallel to each other in the inner and outer directions, and the first protrusion 1611 is perpendicular to the horizontal direction. The first protrusion 1611 can directly fix the position of the follower 15 when it cooperates with the first groove 1511; the inner and outer surfaces of the first protrusion 1611 are respectively in contact with the stopper 1512, so that the relative fixed position between the follower 15 and the air conditioner body 16 is more precise.

[0119] In addition, a protrusion may be disposed on the first limiting portion 151 , and the second limiting portion 161 is provided with a groove that matches the protrusion.

[0120] In this embodiment, the first groove 1511 cooperates with the first protrusion 1611 to limit the sliding door in the inward and outward directions. The cooperation structure is simple, easy to cooperate, and highly reliable, thereby ensuring that the sliding door will not be misplaced or shaken.

[0121] In other embodiments, the first limiting portion 151 includes a circular hole, and the second limiting portion 161 includes a cylinder that cooperates with the circular hole. When the first limiting portion 151 and the second limiting portion 161 cooperate with each other, the outer wall of the cylinder abuts against the inner wall of the circular hole.

[0122] Among them, the circular hole is arranged at the end of the first limiting portion 151, the hole depth direction of the circular hole is consistent with the moving direction of the sliding door, and the cylinder is formed by extending the end of the second limiting portion 161 toward the moving direction of the sliding door; the number of circular holes can be multiple, and the number of cylinders is consistent with the number of circular holes. If there are multiple circular holes, it is preferred to arrange the circular holes at intervals in the up and down directions, so as to ensure the limitation of the position of the sliding door and make full use of the length of the follower 15 in the up and down directions.

[0123] In addition, a cylinder may be disposed on the first limiting portion 151 , and the second limiting portion 161 is provided with a round hole matching with the cylinder.

[0124] In this embodiment, the cooperation between the cylinder and the circular hole not only achieves the limitation of the sliding door in the inner and outer directions, but also achieves the limitation of the sliding door in the upper and lower directions, thereby preventing the sliding door from being misplaced in the inner and outer directions and the upper and lower directions.

[0125] Preferably, combined Fig. 9 and Fig.10 As shown, the first limiting portion 151 is provided with a first guide surface 1513, which is arranged at the ends of the inner and outer inner walls of the first groove 1511 or at the ends of the inner wall of the circular hole to facilitate the first protrusion 1611 or the cylinder to be smoothly inserted into the first groove 1511 or the circular hole.

[0126] Alternatively, a second guide surface 1612 is provided in the second limiting portion 161, and the second guide surface 1612 is arranged on the ends of the inner and outer side walls of the first protrusion 1611 or on the ends of the outer wall of the cylinder to facilitate the first groove 1511 or the circular hole to be smoothly inserted outside the first protrusion 1611 or the cylinder.

[0127] In addition, when the first limiting portion 151 is provided with the first guide surface 1513 and the second limiting portion 161 is also provided with the second guide surface 1612, the mutual installation of the first protrusion 1611 and the first groove 1511 or the mutual installation of the cylinder and the circular hole is smoother and the installation reliability is higher.

[0128] In this embodiment, the first limiting portion 151 and the second limiting portion 161 are provided with guide surfaces, which can greatly improve the matching efficiency between the first limiting portion 151 and the second limiting portion 161, making the limiting of the sliding door more reliable and effective.

[0129] Preferably, combined Figure 39 to Figure 41 As shown, both ends of the follower 15 in the moving direction of the sliding door are provided with a first limiting portion 151, and both ends of the air conditioner body 16 in the moving direction of the sliding door are provided with a second limiting portion 161.

[0130] Among them, the two first limiting portions 151 extend from the head and tail ends of the follower 15 respectively along two opposite directions of the moving direction of the sliding door. Correspondingly, a second limiting portion 161 is provided at the position corresponding to the two first limiting portions 151 on the air conditioner body 16 to ensure that the sliding door can be limited in the inward and outward directions when in the open position and the closed position.

[0131] In this embodiment, a first limiting portion 151 is provided at both ends of the follower 15, which can ensure that the sliding door can be limited in the inward and outward directions when the sliding door is in the open state and the closed state, thereby maintaining the overall appearance of the air conditioner in various states.

[0132] Preferably, the driven member 15 is detachably connected to the driving member 14 .

[0133] Among them, the opening angles of the sliding doors of different air conditioners may be different, and the opening angle of the sliding door is determined by the length of movement of the driven member 15 relative to the active member 14; Fig.33 As shown, the length of the follower 15 in the moving direction of the sliding door is longer, so the sliding door can be opened at a larger angle; Fig.38 As shown, the shorter the length of the follower 15 in the moving direction of the sliding door is, the smaller the angle at which the sliding door can be opened is.

[0134] In this embodiment, the driven member 15 and the driving member 14 are designed to be detachably connected to facilitate replacement of driven members 15 of different lengths, thereby enabling the air conditioner body 16 to be installed with sliding doors of different opening angles, thereby improving versatility.

[0135] Preferably, combined Fig.36 and Fig.38 As shown, the air conditioner body 16 is provided with a T-shaped slot 162 arranged along the moving direction of the sliding door, and the follower 15 is slidably connected to the T-shaped slot 162.

[0136] Among them, the T-slot 162 is closer to the outside than the active part 14, and the part of the driven part 15 that cooperates with the active part 14 (such as the rack) is located in the T-slot 162, which can limit the position of the driven part 15 in the inner and outer directions; a connecting block is protruded from the middle position of the outer wall of the driven part 15, which is connected to the sliding door through the connecting block, and the connecting block cooperates with the middle opening of the T-slot 162, which can limit the position of the driven part 15 in the upper and lower directions.

[0137] The two ends of the T-slot 162 in the moving direction of the sliding door are open, so that the driven member 15 can slide out of the T-slot 162 to achieve a detachable connection between the driven member 15 and the driving member 14 .

[0138] In this embodiment, a T-slot 162 is provided on the air conditioner body 16 to make the movement of the follower 15 relative to the driving member 14 more stable and limit the position of the follower 15 in the inward and outward directions during the sliding process of the follower 15 .

[0139] Preferably, combined Fig.36 and Fig.42 As shown, the outer wall of the follower 15 is also connected to a baffle 152 that matches the outer wall of the T-slot 162, and the cross section of the surface where the T-slot 162 and the baffle 152 or the follower 15 contact each other is a wavy line in a perpendicular direction to the up and down direction.

[0140] The follower 15 has two baffles 152 with upper and lower openings respectively. Both ends of the baffles 152 in the moving direction of the sliding door are open, so that the distance between the follower 15 and the active member 14 moving relative to each other is long enough, thereby ensuring that the sliding door is opened at a certain angle.

[0141] A baffle 152 is provided on the follower 15 so that the baffle 152 cooperates with the T-slot 162 to achieve double limitation on the position of the follower 15 in the inward and outward directions, further ensuring that the sliding door will not shake inward and outward during movement.

[0142] In this embodiment, the T-slot 162 and the baffle 152 or the follower 15 are designed to be in line contact with each other, which effectively reduces the contact area between the follower 15 and the air conditioner body 16 during the sliding process, thereby greatly reducing the operating resistance and also making the assembly between the T-slot 162 and the follower 15 have a larger assembly tolerance rate.

[0143] Preferably, the sliding door body 10 comprises a first sliding door 10101 and a second sliding door 102, and a transmission assembly limiting structure is respectively provided at the upper and lower ends of the first sliding door 10101 and the second sliding door 102. The two transmission assembly limiting structures at the upper end are symmetrically arranged, and the two transmission assembly limiting structures at the lower end are also symmetrically arranged; since the sliding door is long in the up-down direction, the transmission assembly limiting structures are respectively arranged at the upper and lower ends, which can ensure that the movement of the sliding door is more stable, and when the sliding door moves into place, the position of the sliding door in the inner and outer directions can be limited at the upper and lower ends of the sliding door.

[0144] Preferably, combined Figure 1 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the sliding door body 10 includes a first sliding door 101 and a second sliding door 102. A first decorative strip 20 is provided on the top of the first sliding door 101, and a second decorative strip 21 is provided on the top of the second sliding door 102. A shielding structure is provided between the first sliding door 101 and the second sliding door 102. The shielding structure includes a first shielding structure 22 and a second shielding structure 23 that are relatively arranged. The first shielding structure 22 includes a first shielding portion 221 and a third shielding portion 222 that are interconnected. The second shielding structure 23 includes a second shielding portion 231 and a fourth shielding portion 232 that are interconnected. The first shielding portion 221 cooperates with the second shielding portion 231, the third shielding portion 222 cooperates with the first decorative strip 20, and the fourth shielding portion 232 cooperates with the second decorative strip 21. The first shielding portion 221 is disposed close to the second shielding portion 231 , the third shielding portion 222 is located on the reverse side of the first shielding portion 221 and close to the first decorative strip 20 , and the fourth shielding portion 232 is located on the reverse side of the second shielding portion 231 and close to the second decorative strip 21 .

[0145] Among them, the first shielding portion 221 and the second shielding portion 231 cooperate with each other to cover the gap between the two sliding doors to prevent the user from directly seeing the internal structure of the air conditioner through the gap; the third shielding portion 222 and the first decorative strip 20 cooperate with each other to cover the gap between the first decorative strip 20 and the first sliding door 101 to prevent the user from directly seeing the internal structure of the air conditioner through the gap; the fourth shielding portion 232 and the second decorative strip 21 cooperate with each other to cover the gap between the second decorative strip 21 and the second sliding door 102 to prevent the user from directly observing the internal structure of the air conditioner through the gap.

[0146] The shielding structure is set at the vertical edge of the sliding door, which can block the internal structure of the air conditioner from being directly seen through the gap between the first sliding door 101 and the second sliding door 102, and can also block the internal structure of the air conditioner from being directly seen through the gap between the first sliding door 101 and the first decorative strip 20 and the gap between the second sliding door 102 and the second decorative strip 21, thereby achieving the effect of shielding the gaps at three positions.

[0147] In addition, the number of sliding doors can also be one. For example, when there is only the first sliding door 101, the first shielding portion 221 cooperates with the air conditioner shell to block the gap between the first sliding door 101 and the air conditioner shell, and the third shielding portion 222 cooperates with the first decorative strip 20 to block the gap between the first sliding door 101 and the first decorative strip 20.

[0148] In the present embodiment, two shielding parts arranged back to back are provided on each shielding structure, which can not only shield the gap between the two sliding doors, but also shield the gap between the decorative strip and the sliding door, thereby playing a dual role and effectively preventing the user from seeing the internal structure of the air conditioner from the gap between the sliding doors or the gap between the decorative strip and the sliding door, thereby ensuring the overall aesthetics of the air conditioner, having a simple structure and fewer additional components, thereby saving production costs.

[0149] Preferably, combined Figures 7 to 9 As shown, the width of the first decorative strip 20 in the inner-outer direction is smaller than the width of the top of the first sliding door 101 in the inner-outer direction, and the width of the second decorative strip 21 in the inner-outer direction is smaller than the width of the top of the second sliding door 102 in the inner-outer direction.

[0150] Among them, since cabinet air conditioners are generally taller, when the width of the first decorative strip 20 in the inner and outer directions is smaller than the width of the top position of the first sliding door 101 in the inner and outer directions, when looking from the bottom up (i.e. looking up), the user cannot see the connection gap between the first decorative strip 20 and the first sliding door 101, thereby ensuring aesthetics. Similarly, the size relationship between the second decorative strip 21 and the second sliding door 102 is similar to the size relationship between the first decorative strip 20 and the first sliding door 101, and will not be repeated here.

[0151] In this embodiment, the width of the decorative strip is designed to be smaller than the width of the sliding door, so that when the user looks up at the top of the air conditioner, the connection gap between the sliding door and the decorative strip cannot be seen, thereby improving the user's visual aesthetic experience.

[0152] Preferably, if Figure 7 As shown, the tops of the first sliding door 101, the second sliding door 102, the first decorative strip 20, and the second decorative strip 21 are all flush with each other.

[0153] The tops of the first sliding door 101, the second sliding door 102, the first decorative strip 20 and the second decorative strip 21 are all smooth planes. When these planes are flush with each other, the continuity of the top of the sliding door can be visually ensured.

[0154] In this embodiment, the top of each sliding door and the top of each decorative strip are designed to be flush with each other, which not only ensures the overall aesthetics of the air conditioner, but also facilitates the subsequent cleaning of dust on the top of the sliding door.

[0155] Preferably, if Figure 3 or Figure 7 As shown, the length of the first decorative strip 20 in the sliding door moving direction is smaller than the length of the first sliding door 101 in the sliding door moving direction, and the length of the second decorative strip 21 in the sliding door moving direction is smaller than the length of the second sliding door 102 in the sliding door moving direction, that is, a certain gap is reserved between the first decorative strip 20 and the first sliding door 101, and between the second decorative strip 21 and the second sliding door 102 in the sliding door moving direction.

[0156] Specifically, there is a certain gap between the first decorative strip 20 and the third shielding portion 222, and there is a certain gap between the second decorative strip 21 and the fourth shielding portion 232, that is, the first decorative strip 20 and the third shielding portion 222 and the second decorative strip 21 and the fourth shielding portion 232 are not completely tightly matched with each other.

[0157] In this embodiment, a certain gap is reserved between the decorative strip and the sliding door to avoid the decorative strip and the sliding door from being tightly fitted to each other, thereby improving the fault tolerance of the mutual assembly of the sliding door and the decorative strip and reducing the difficulty of production.

[0158] Preferably, combined Figures 2 to 5 As shown, the contour surface of the first shielding portion 221 has a first plane 2211 and a second plane 2212 that are at a certain angle to each other, and the angle is not equal to 180°. The contour surface of the second shielding portion 231 has a third plane 2311 that matches the first plane 2211 and a fourth plane 2312 that matches the second plane 2212.

[0159] Among them, the first plane 2211 and the third plane 2311 are parallel to each other, and the second plane 2212 and the fourth plane 2312 are parallel to each other, so that it is easier to control the mutual assembly position between the first sliding door 101 and the second sliding door 102, and can avoid interference or excessive local gap position; the position of one of the first plane 2211 and the second plane 2212 is parallel to the inner and outer directions, which is for the convenience of processing, so that the first shielding structure 22 and the second shielding structure 23 can effectively block the gap between the first sliding door 101 and the second sliding door 102 after cooperation. When the first sliding door 101 and the second sliding door 102 are closed, the two planes parallel to the inner and outer directions can be close to each other, so as to minimize the gap between the first sliding door 101 and the second sliding door 102.

[0160] In this embodiment, the contour surface of the first shielding portion 221 and the contour surface of the second shielding portion 231 are respectively composed of two planes that are not on the same plane, and the contour surfaces of the first shielding portion 221 and the second shielding portion 231 are designed to cooperate with each other, so as to achieve shielding the gap between the first sliding door 101 and the second sliding door 102.

[0161] Preferably, the angle between the first plane 2211 and the second plane 2212 ranges from 90° to 270°.

[0162] Among them, when the angle between the first plane 2211 and the second plane 2212 is less than 90°, the first shielding part 5 and the second shielding part 6 may interfere with each other when they cooperate with each other; when the angle between the first plane 2211 and the second plane 2212 is greater than 270°, the first shielding part 5 and the second shielding part 6 may not be able to effectively block the gap between the first sliding door 101 and the second sliding door 102 after cooperating with each other.

[0163] In this embodiment, the angle range of the angle between the first plane 2211 and the second plane 2212 is designed to ensure that the first shielding portion 221 and the second shielding portion 231 can block the gap between the first sliding door 101 and the second sliding door 102 after cooperation with each other, and avoid interference between the first shielding portion 221 and the second shielding portion 231 when cooperating with each other.

[0164] Preferably, the contour surface of the first shielding portion 221 has a first curved surface, and the contour surface of the second shielding portion 231 has a second curved surface matching the first curved surface.

[0165] Among them, the first curved surface and the second curved surface are parallel to each other to prevent the first shielding part 221 and the second shielding part 231 from interfering with each other when they cooperate with each other; when the first curved surface and the second curved surface cooperate with each other, the gap between the first sliding door 101 and the second sliding door 102 is also a curved structure in the cross-section perpendicular to the up and down directions, so that the user cannot see directly through the gap to the internal structure of the air conditioner body from the outside of the air conditioner.

[0166] In this embodiment, the shielding structure utilizes the cooperation of two curved surfaces to achieve the purpose of shielding the gap between the first sliding door 101 and the second sliding door 102, thereby effectively preventing the user from directly seeing the internal structure of the air conditioner.

[0167] Preferably, the first plane 2211 and the third plane 2311 are parallel to each other, and the second plane 2212 and the fourth plane 2312 are parallel to each other.

[0168] Among them, when the contour surface of the first shielding part 221 and the contour surface of the second shielding part 231 are composed of planes with an angle between each other or discontinuous curved surfaces, the gap between the two contour surfaces in the cross-section perpendicular to the up and down directions can be a broken line with consistent width or a discontinuous curve, or a broken line with inconsistent width or a discontinuous curved surface. Inconsistent width refers to the inconsistent width of the straight lines or curved surfaces on both sides of the inflection point.

[0169] In this embodiment, the first plane 2211 and the second plane 2212 of the first shielding portion 221 are designed to be parallel to the third plane 2311 and the fourth plane 2312 of the second shielding portion 231, respectively. On the one hand, this can ensure the overall aesthetics of the air conditioner, and on the other hand, it can ensure that the first sliding door 101 and the second sliding door 102 will not interfere with each other when they are assembled.

[0170] Preferably, if Figure 3 or Fig. 9 As shown, the ends of the first decorative strip 20 and the second decorative strip 21 are both provided with a second protrusion 24 , and the third shielding portion 222 and the fourth shielding portion 232 respectively have a second groove 25 or a paving portion 26 that matches the second protrusion 24 .

[0171] Among them, if the third shielding portion 222 or the fourth shielding portion 232 has a second groove 25, the second protrusion 24 is located in the middle position of one end of the first decorative strip 20 and the second decorative strip 21, and the cross-sectional area of ​​the second groove 25 perpendicular to the up and down directions is larger than the cross-sectional area of ​​the second protrusion 24 perpendicular to the up and down directions, so that the second protrusion 24 can be completely accommodated in the second groove 25, thereby playing the role of shielding the gap between the sliding door and the decorative strip.

[0172] If the third shielding portion 222 or the fourth shielding portion 232 has a yielding portion 26, the second protrusion 24 is arranged at one end of the first decorative strip 20 and the second decorative strip 21 close to the outside or the inside of the air conditioner. The second protrusion 24 cooperates with the yielding portion 26 to block the gap between the sliding door and the decorative strip.

[0173] In this embodiment, a second protrusion 24 is provided on the decorative strip, and a second groove 25 or a yielding portion 26 is provided on the shielding portion cooperating with the second protrusion 24, thereby achieving the function of shielding the gap between the sliding door and the decorative strip.

[0174] Preferably, if Fig.10 As shown, the air conditioning sliding door 10 includes a third lining plate 17 and a dustproof member 18 arranged on the inner side of the third lining plate 17. The dustproof member 18 is arranged at the upper end and / or lower end of the third lining plate 17, and the length direction of the dustproof member 18 is consistent with the moving direction of the sliding door.

[0175] Among them, since dust mainly enters the interior of the air conditioner from the gap above the sliding door and the air conditioner body, the third lining plate 17 is arranged above the air outlet, so that the dustproof part 18 installed on the third lining plate 17 can effectively prevent dust from entering the interior of the air conditioner; the dustproof part 18 is a slender strip, which must ensure that the dustproof part 18 can effectively prevent dust from entering, and ensure that the installation of the dustproof part 18 will not interfere with the installation of other components on the third lining plate 17; when the third lining plate 17 is installed on the air conditioner body, the dustproof part can block the gap between the third lining plate 17 and the air conditioner body, effectively preventing dust from entering.

[0176] When the dustproof part 18 is arranged at the upper end of the third lining plate 17, it can prevent dust from entering the lining plate; when the dustproof part 18 is arranged at the lower end of the third lining plate 17, it can prevent dust from entering the air outlet of the air conditioner; when the dustproof part 18 is arranged at both the upper end and the lower end of the third lining plate 17, it plays a dual dustproof role. Even if the dustproof effect of one dustproof part 18 is weakened, the other dustproof part 18 can still have the dustproof function.

[0177] In the present embodiment, a dustproof part 18 is added to the third lining plate 17 located at the upper end of the air conditioner, and the arrangement position and direction of the dustproof part 18 are reasonably designed, so as to effectively realize the dustproof function of the air conditioner sliding door lining plate, greatly reduce the dust or harmful substances entering into the air conditioner, facilitate the later internal cleaning work of the air conditioner, and thus ensure the working stability of the air conditioner.

[0179] Among them, the width of the first slide groove 171 in the up and down directions is consistent with or similar to the width of the dustproof part 18 in the up and down directions, so that the installation space of the third lining plate 17 can be fully utilized and a better dustproof effect can be guaranteed; the limiting structure can be a structure that limits the position of the dustproof part 18 in the moving direction of the sliding door, or it can be a structure that limits the position of the dustproof part 18 in the inside and outside directions. The specific structural design is determined according to the mutual coordination structure of the first slide groove 171 and the dustproof part 18.

[0180] In this embodiment, a first slide groove 171 is provided on the third lining plate 17 to realize a detachable connection between the dustproof part 18 and the third lining plate 17, which is helpful for the replacement and installation of the dustproof part 18. At the same time, since the dustproof part 18 is a wearing part, only the dustproof part 18 can be replaced when it is damaged, thereby greatly reducing the maintenance cost.

[0181] Preferably, combined Figures 13 to 15 As shown, the limiting structure includes a plurality of limiting protrusions 172 arranged on the edge of the first slide groove 171, and a space for accommodating the dustproof member 18 is reserved between the limiting protrusions 172 and the bottom surface of the first slide groove 171.

[0182] Among them, when the dustproof part 18 is inserted into the first slide groove 171 from the moving direction of the sliding door, a plurality of limiting protrusions 172 are evenly spaced on the upper and lower sides of the first slide groove 171. The limiting protrusions 172 can press the dustproof part 18, thereby limiting the position of the dustproof part 18 in the inward and outward directions. This arrangement of the limiting protrusions 172 makes the installation of the dustproof part 18 more secure, thereby ensuring the reliability of dustproofing.

[0183] When the dustproof part 18 is inserted into the first slide groove 171 from the top and bottom directions, a plurality of limiting protrusions 172 can be arranged at intervals on the left and right sides of the first slide groove 171. The limiting protrusions 172 can press the dustproof part 18, thereby limiting the position of the dustproof part 18 in the inside and outside directions. This arrangement of the limiting protrusions 172 makes it easier to install the dustproof part 18 in the first slide groove 171, thereby improving the installation efficiency of the dustproof part 18.

[0184] In this embodiment, a limiting protrusion 172 is provided on the first slide groove 171, which can effectively prevent the dustproof member 18 from falling off from the first slide groove 171, thereby ensuring the installation firmness of the dustproof member 18, thereby ensuring that the dustproof member 18 can play an effective dustproof role during the movement of the sliding door.

[0185] Preferably, if Fig.14 As shown, the limiting structure includes a limiting protrusion 173 arranged on the bottom surface of the first sliding groove 171.

[0186] Among them, when the dustproof part 18 is inserted into the first slide groove 171 from the moving direction of the sliding door, the limiting protrusion 173 is set on the left and right sides of the dustproof part 18, limiting the position of the dustproof part 18 in the moving direction of the sliding door; when the dustproof part 18 is inserted into the first slide groove 171 from the up and down directions, the limiting protrusion 173 is set on the upper and lower sides of the dustproof part 18, limiting the position of the dustproof part 18 in the up and down directions.

[0187] The limiting protrusion 173 is provided with a guiding slope in the direction in which the dustproof part 18 is inserted into the first slide groove 171 . The guiding slope helps the dustproof part 18 to be smoothly inserted into the first slide groove, thereby improving the installation qualification rate and assembly efficiency of the dustproof part 18 .

[0188] In this embodiment, a limiting protrusion 173 is provided on the first slide groove 171 , which can effectively prevent the dustproof member 18 from falling off from the first slide groove 171 , thereby ensuring the installation firmness of the dustproof member 18 .

[0189] Preferably, if Fig.13 As shown, at least one end of the first sliding groove 171 is provided with a guide portion 174 .

[0190] Among them, one end of the dustproof part 18 first slides through the guide part 174, and then is inserted into the first slide groove 171 for fixation; if only one end of the first slide groove 171 has a guide part 174, the end close to the guide part 174 uses the limiting protrusion 173 to limit the dustproof part 18, and the other end of the first slide groove 171 uses the end of the first slide groove 171 to directly limit the movement of the dustproof part 18; if there are guide parts 174 at both ends of the first slide groove 171, the dustproof part 18 in the first slide groove 171 uses the limiting protrusions 173 located at both ends of the bottom surface of the first slide groove 171 to limit the movement of the dustproof part 18.

[0191] In this embodiment, a guide portion 174 is provided at the insertion end of the dustproof piece 18 on the first slide groove 171, which can guide the dustproof piece 18 to be installed into the first slide groove 171, thereby facilitating the quick and smooth installation of the dustproof piece 18 and improving the installation efficiency of the dustproof piece 18.

[0192] Preferably, if Figure 3 As shown, a slider 19 is provided between the dustproof member 18 and the first slide groove 171 , and the dustproof member 18 can be detachably mounted on the slider 19 .

[0193] Among them, since the material of the dustproof part 18 is generally softer and the material of the slider 19 is harder, the slider 19 is provided to facilitate the smooth installation of the dustproof part 18; in addition, the dustproof part 18 is detachably installed on the slider 19. When the dustproof part 18 is damaged, only the dustproof part 18 can be replaced, thereby reducing the subsequent maintenance cost.

[0194] In this embodiment, the slider 19 is added, which not only facilitates the smooth installation of the dustproof part 18 into the first slide groove 171 and improves the installation efficiency, but also the dustproof part 18 can be detachably installed on the slider 19, which can reduce the subsequent maintenance cost.

[0195] Preferably, if Fig.11 As shown, the slider 19 is provided with a second slide groove 191, and the dustproof member 18 is installed in the second slide groove 191. The second slide groove 191 is preferably a T-slot, and the T-slot design can ensure that the dustproof member 18 is smoothly installed on the slider 19 and can ensure the firmness of the installation of the dustproof member 18 in the slider 19.

[0196] Among them, the second slide groove 191 is preferably a T-shaped groove, and the two sides of the T-shaped groove are used to press the two sides of the dustproof part 18. The two sides of the T-shaped groove also protrude inward to extend a fixing plate, which is used to shape the dustproof part 18 and reduce the deformation of the dustproof part 18 under force.

[0197] In this embodiment, a second slide groove 191 is added to the slider 19 so that the dustproof member 18 can be installed on the slider 19 more smoothly. This structure is simple, easy to operate, and improves the installation efficiency of the dustproof member 18.

[0198] Preferably, it also includes an ash receiving trough, which is located below the dustproof part 18.

[0199] When dust falls below the dustproof member 18 during the sliding process of the dustproof member 18, the dust collecting groove can catch the dust in time to prevent the dust from entering the air outlet.

[0200] In this embodiment, an additional dust collecting groove is provided to ensure that dust entering the top of the air conditioner can be received by the dust collecting groove, thereby preventing dust from entering the air outlet and ensuring the normal operation of the air conditioner.

[0201] Preferably, the dust-proof member 18 is a brush or dust-proof cotton.

[0202] Among them, when the dust-proof part 18 is a brush, the density of the brush can block dust from entering the air inlet. The brush has high elasticity, good surface lubrication of the brush wire, and good wear resistance and anti-static function; when the dust-proof part 18 is dust-proof cotton, the dust-proof cotton has good dust-proof effect and will not affect the heat dissipation of the air conditioner body.

[0203] In this embodiment, the material of the dustproof member 18 can be designed according to actual use needs to adapt to different design requirements.

[0204] In addition, the sliding door body 10 is made of metal, and a lining plate is generally provided on the inner side of the sliding door. Since metal parts have strong anti-deformation ability, their deformation is relatively small. In order to reduce costs, the lining plate is generally divided into upper, middle and lower lining plates, among which the dustproof part 18 is installed on the upper lining plate.

[0205] The present invention also provides an air conditioner, comprising the air conditioner sliding door as described above.

[0206] In this embodiment, lining plates are respectively provided on the two sliding doors, and limiting grooves are provided on the lining plates. The limiting grooves are matched with the guide sliding parts 13 of the air conditioner body to ensure that the sliding doors will not rock back and forth during movement, thereby ensuring the stability of the sliding doors during movement, reducing the noise generated by the movement of the sliding doors, and improving the user experience; a limiting structure is provided between the driven part 15 of the transmission assembly and the air conditioner body 16, and the mutual cooperation of the first limiting part 151 and the second limiting part 161 realizes the limitation of the sliding door in the inner and outer directions, thereby ensuring that the relative position between the sliding door and the air conditioner body 16 is fixed or the relative position between the two sliding doors is fixed, improving stability, and preventing misalignment or steps from occurring at the connection between the sliding door and the air conditioner body 16 or the connection between the two sliding doors, thereby ensuring the overall aesthetics of the air conditioner.

[0207] 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.
