Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of air conditioners, and in particular to a shell assembly, an indoor unit including the shell assembly, and an air conditioner including the indoor unit. Background Art

[0002] At present, there are more and more appearance styles of air conditioner indoor units, but the appearance structure of each air conditioner indoor unit has its own advantages and disadvantages. The following is an explanation using several products in the prior art as examples.

[0003] Patent No. CN104748238A discloses an indoor unit of an air conditioner and a casing of the indoor unit of the air conditioner, wherein the indoor unit of the air conditioner includes a chassis, a heat exchanger, a wind wheel and an integrated mask. The heat exchanger is arranged on the chassis, the wind wheel is arranged on the chassis, the integrated mask is pivotally arranged on the chassis and the mask is positioned on the chassis by a snap-on structure, and the mask is provided with ventilation holes corresponding to the air outlet. This solution can effectively improve the efficiency of installing and disassembling the mask, thereby facilitating the maintenance and cleaning of the indoor unit of the air conditioner. However, the mask of this solution is an integrated structure, which is not conducive to achieving the diversification of the appearance. If the appearance of the whole machine is to be changed, a new mold of the integrated mask must be opened, and the mold opening cost and workload are huge, which cannot meet the market demand for the diversification of product appearance.

[0004] Patent No. CN107477833A discloses an indoor unit housing assembly and an air conditioner having the same, wherein the indoor unit housing assembly includes a panel, a panel body and a base plate, wherein the panel body includes an air outlet frame and an upper frame. This solution can solve the problem that the indoor unit housing assembly in the prior art is inconvenient to disassemble and assemble. However, the panel body of this solution is separated from the face frame, and its structural strength is greatly weakened, which affects the stability of the whole machine assembly.

[0005] Patent No. CN209263310U discloses an air conditioner indoor unit and an air conditioner, the air conditioner indoor unit includes a shell, the shell includes a face frame and a chassis connected to the rear of the face frame, the lower part of the face frame is provided with an opening; an air duct component is installed on the chassis and exposed in the opening; a lower panel, the lower panel is provided with an air outlet connected to the air duct component, the periphery of the lower panel is detachably connected to the edge of the opening or the air duct component, and the lower panel is screwed to the air duct component at the air outlet. This solution improves the convenience of cleaning the air duct component, and the disassembly of the lower panel facilitates the connection and installation of the connecting pipes of the internal and external units. Patent No. CN209944704U discloses an easily disassembled and washable air conditioner indoor unit and an air conditioner having the same, and this patent is also a solution of disassembling the air outlet frame, and its purpose is also to facilitate the disassembly and cleaning of the bottom shell air duct. However, the above two solutions have a common disadvantage. Their panel structures are both assembled in the form of a rear hinge plus a front buckle. The hinge is fixed on the rear shaft hole of the panel body, so that the panel can rotate around the shaft to open and close the panel. This matching method causes a gap between the panel and the panel body. If there are production fluctuations, there will inevitably be a large matching gap at the air outlet, which will cause air leakage and lead to condensation problems. On the other hand, the layout of the hinge plus the buckle has great limitations on the appearance. Some relatively novel appearances cannot be achieved if this assembly structure is used, and the panel cannot be easily and quickly disassembled.

[0006] Based on the above analysis, the exterior shell of the indoor unit in the current prior art still has at least the following problems: (1) The appearance of the air conditioner product is single. If the appearance is to be diversified and personalized, it is necessary to open multiple molds for the middle frame (panel body) and the panel with greatly different appearances. In particular, the mold opening cost of the middle frame (panel body) is extremely high, which leads to extended development costs and development cycles; (2) The panel adopts a loose-leaf plus buckle layout scheme, which has great limitations on appearance. Some relatively novel appearances cannot be realized if this assembly structure is adopted, and the panel cannot be easily and quickly disassembled and assembled; (3) The assembly scheme of the panel covering the middle frame (panel body) has a gap at the front of the air outlet due to the large deformation of the panel arch, which causes air leakage and condensation.

[0007] Therefore, there is an urgent need to improve the exterior shell assembly solution of the indoor unit in the prior art. Summary of the invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0083] To make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present invention clearer, the technical solution of the present invention will be described in detail below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other implementation methods obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work belong to the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0084] The following is attached to the instruction manual Figures 1 to 29 And embodiments 1 to 3 describe the housing assembly, indoor unit and air conditioner of the present invention in detail.

[0085] Example 1

[0086] This embodiment describes in detail the housing assembly and the assembly method of the present invention.

[0087] The housing assembly of this embodiment includes a panel body 10, a left side panel 20, a right side panel 30, an air outlet frame 40, a panel 50 and an air inlet frame 60. Figures 1 to 4As shown. Preferably, the left side plate 20, the right side plate 30, the air outlet frame 40, the panel 50 and the air inlet frame 60 are respectively installed on the panel body 10. More preferably, the first limit buckle 501 is provided on both sides of the panel 50, and the first positioning part and the first locking part are respectively provided at the lower end and the upper end. When the panel 50 is installed on the panel body 10, the left and right sides of the panel 50 are respectively engaged with the left side plate 20 and the right side plate 30 through the first limit buckle 501, the panel 50 is positioned by the first positioning part, the panel 50 is pushed to slide and the panel 50 is fixed to the panel body 10 through the first locking part. Specifically, when the first positioning part is located at the lower end of the panel 50, the first locking part is located at the upper end of the panel 50; or when the first positioning part is located at the upper end of the panel 50, the first locking part is located at the lower end of the panel 50. The panel body 10 of this embodiment can also be said to be a middle frame. The air inlet frame 60 of this embodiment includes an air inlet grille and a filter net, which can not only play a role in air intake, but also has a filtering function. The lower end of the panel 50 mentioned in this embodiment refers to an end of the panel 50 close to the air outlet frame 40 , and the upper end refers to an end of the panel 50 close to the air inlet frame 60 .

[0088] The panel 50 in the shell assembly of this embodiment is different from the assembly scheme of loose-leaf plus buckle in the prior art. Specifically, the panel 50 of this embodiment is assembled by the first limit buckle 501 set on both sides, and the first positioning part and the first locking part set at the lower end and the upper end respectively, which can achieve the assembly effect of the push-pull type quick disassembly panel 50; and this assembly structure has less limitation on the appearance, is also applicable to the appearance of novel structure, and has high flexibility. That is, the shell assembly of this embodiment solves the problem that the assembly scheme of loose-leaf plus buckle in the prior art has great limitation on the appearance and the panel cannot be easily and quickly disassembled.

[0089] Fig.14 and 15 A schematic diagram of a preferred embodiment of the panel 50 is shown. Fig.15 As shown, a first positioning portion and a first locking portion are provided on the surface of the panel 50 that contacts the panel body 10, so that when the panel 50 is assembled with the panel body 10, it can be guided and positioned by the first positioning portion, and locked and fixed by the first locking portion, so that the panel 50 can be accurately assembled on the panel body 10. First limiting buckles 501 are also provided on the left and right sides of the panel 50. By inserting the first limiting buckles 501 into the buckle holes 201 on the left side plate 20 and the right side plate 30, the left and right sides of the panel 50 can be positioned, and the panel 50 can also be connected with the left side plate 20 and the right side plate 30 to prevent the arc edges of the left and right sides of the panel 50 from warping and deforming, as shown in FIG. Figure 8 , Fig.15 and 15A shown.

[0090] Preferably, the first positioning portion includes a first positioning buckle 502 and a positioning groove 107, wherein the first positioning buckle 502 is arranged on one of the upper end and the lower end of the panel 50, and the positioning groove 107 is arranged on a side of the panel body 10 that contacts the panel 50 and corresponds to the first positioning buckle 502, and the first positioning portion guides and positions one of the upper end and the lower end of the panel 50 through the clamping connection between the first positioning buckle 502 and the positioning groove 107. Fig.15 and 15B As shown, a plurality of first positioning buckles 502 are arranged on one of the upper end and the lower end of the contact surface between the panel 50 and the panel body 10, and the plurality of first positioning buckles 502 are evenly distributed on one of the upper end and the lower end of the panel 50. For example, five first positioning buckles 502 are arranged on the lower end of the panel 50. Figure 5 and 5D As shown, a positioning groove 107 is provided on the panel body 10 at a position corresponding to the first positioning buckle 502. When assembling the panel 50, the first positioning buckle 502 can be inserted into the positioning groove 107 to facilitate the guiding and positioning of the panel 50. Fig. 15B As shown, the first positioning buckle 502 has an opening, and the opening faces the positioning groove 107 . By snapping the first positioning buckle 502 onto the positioning groove 107 , the guiding positioning of the panel 50 can be achieved.

[0091] Preferably, the first locking portion includes a first locking buckle 503 and a locking groove 108, wherein the first locking buckle 503 is disposed on the other of the upper end and the lower end of the panel 50, and the locking groove 108 is disposed on a side of the panel body 10 that contacts the panel 50 and corresponds to the first locking buckle 503, and the first locking portion locks and fixes the panel 50 and the panel body 10 through the clamping of the first locking buckle 503 and the locking groove 108. Fig.15 and 15C As shown, a plurality of first locking buckles 503 are provided on the other of the upper end and the lower end of the contact surface between the panel 50 and the panel body 10, and the plurality of first locking buckles 503 are evenly distributed on the other of the upper end and the lower end of the panel 50. For example, six first locking buckles 503 are provided on the upper end of the panel 50. Figure 5 and 5E As shown, a locking groove 108 is provided on the panel body 10 at a position corresponding to the first locking buckle 503. When the panel 50 is assembled, the first locking buckle 503 is snapped into the locking groove 108, so that the panel 50 can be locked. Figure 5E As shown, the locking groove 108 has a groove, and the first locking buckle 503 has a protrusion. By snapping the protrusion of the first locking buckle 503 into the groove of the locking groove 108, the panel 50 can be locked and fixed.

[0092] The panel 50 can be limited on both sides by the first limiting buckles 501 on the left and right sides (described in detail later), and then the upper end or the lower end can be positioned by the first positioning buckle 502 at the upper end or the lower end, and then locked and fixed by the first locking buckle 503 at the lower end or the upper end. The first positioning buckle 502 of the preferred technical solution of this embodiment can be set at the upper end or the lower end of the panel 50, and correspondingly, the first locking buckle 503 is located at the lower end or the upper end of the panel 50, and the difference between the two is only the different assembly directions.

[0093] According to a preferred embodiment, the panel 50 is further provided with a second limit buckle 504, which is located at the side front edge of the contact surface of the panel 50 with the left side plate 20 and the right side plate 30, such as Fig.15 , Fig.15D Preferably, when the panel 50 is mounted on the panel body 10, the second limit buckle 504 is located in the first limit groove 505 formed by assembling the panel body 10, the left side panel 20 and the air outlet frame 40, and in the second limit groove formed by assembling the panel body 10, the right side panel 30 and the air outlet frame 40. Fig.16 , Fig.16A as well as Fig.17 The panel 50 of the preferred technical solution of this embodiment is also provided with a second limit buckle 504, which can prevent the sharp corners of the front edges of both sides of the panel 50 from warping by snapping the second limit buckle 504 into the first limit groove 505 and the second limit groove.

[0094] According to a preferred embodiment, the first positioning portion is located at the lower end of the panel 50, and the first locking portion is located at the upper end of the panel 50. When the panel 50 is installed on the panel body 10, the panel 50 is pushed to slide in the direction close to the air outlet frame 40 and the lower edge of the panel 50 is matched with the back of the air outlet frame 40. The shell assembly of the preferred technical solution of this embodiment makes the lower edge of the panel 50 match the back of the air outlet frame 40. Since the airflow flows directly toward the air outlet frame 40, the preferred technical solution of this embodiment hides the matching gap between the air outlet frame 40 and the front edge of the panel 50 at the back of the air outlet frame 40, ensuring the sealing of the matching between the two, avoiding the front impact of the airflow, and avoiding the condensation problem.

[0095] According to a preferred embodiment, the air outlet frame 40 is provided with a wind shield 404. After the air outlet frame 40 and the panel 50 are installed on the panel body 10, the wind shield 404 is located at the gap between the air outlet frame 40 and the panel 50.
