[0058] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the specific embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention.
[0059] An embodiment of the present invention provides an air conditioner indoor unit, such as Figure 1-Figure 6 As shown, the air conditioner indoor unit includes a body frame 100 and an electric control box 200 and a panel 300 detachably fixed to the body frame 100 , and a transmitter component 400 and a receiving control component 500 are detachably fixed between the body frame 100 and the panel 300 .
[0060] The transmitter assembly 400 includes a transmitter mounting carrier 410 and a transmitter coil 420 fixed to the transmitter mounting carrier 410 . The transmitter coil 420 is electrically connected to the electric control box 200 .
[0061] The receiving control assembly 500 includes a receiving mounting carrier 510 , a receiving coil 520 fixedly connected to the receiving mounting carrier 510 , and a panel control component assembly 530 . The panel control component assembly 530 is electrically connected to the receiving coil 520 .
[0062] The transmitting coil 420 and the receiving coil 520 are communicatively connected via the NFC communication module 540 .
[0063] In the air conditioner indoor unit provided in this embodiment, the electric control box 200 and the panel 300 are both detachably fixedly connected to the body frame 100, and the transmitter component 400 and the receiving control component 500 are also detachably fixedly connected between the body frame 100 and the panel 300; wherein the transmitting coil 420 in the transmitter component 400 is electrically connected to the electric control box 200, and the electric control box 200 supplies power to the transmitting coil 420, the transmitting coil 420 transmits radio frequency and sends the radio frequency to the receiving coil 520, the receiving coil 520 receives the radio frequency transmitted by the transmitting coil 420, and converts the radio frequency field into electrical energy to power the corresponding components or modules of the panel control component assembly 530. It can be seen that the arrangement of the transmitting coil 420 and the receiving coil 520 does not require the arrangement of wires between the panel control component assembly 530 and the electric control box, and there will be no problem of messy wiring. In addition, due to the simplified wiring, more functional modules can be arranged in the panel control component assembly 530, and the corresponding functional modules only need to be electrically connected to the receiving coil, thereby reducing the difficulty of functional expansion of the air conditioner indoor unit. During the disassembly and assembly process, on the one hand, the electric control box 200, the panel 300, the body frame 100, the transmitter assembly 400 and the receiving control assembly 500 are directly or indirectly detachably fixedly connected, which is equivalent to the independence of each component, so that the disassembly and assembly can be carried out in a targeted manner, which improves the convenience of component assembly and improves production efficiency; on the other hand, the arrangement of the transmitting coil 420 and the receiving coil 520 simplifies the wiring method, and there is no wire connection between the corresponding components. During disassembly and assembly, there is no need to consider whether the wires are damaged, thereby improving the disassembly and assembly efficiency.
[0064] It should be noted that the NFC communication module is Near Field Communication (NFC for short); NFC is a short-range, high-frequency radio technology. The NFCIP-1 standard stipulates that the communication distance of NFC is within 10 cm, the operating frequency is 13.56 MHz, and the transmission speed is 106 Kbit / s, 212 Kbit / s or 424 Kbit / s.
[0065] NFC working modes are divided into passive mode and active mode. Among them, in the passive mode, the NFC initiator device (also called the master device) needs a power supply device. The master device uses the energy of the power supply device to provide a radio frequency field and send data to the NFC target device (also called the slave device). The slave device does not generate a radio frequency field, so it does not need a power supply device. Instead, it uses the radio frequency field generated by the master device to convert it into electrical energy to power the circuit of the slave device, receive the data sent by the master device, and use load modulation technology to transmit the slave device data back to the master device at the same speed. Because, in this working mode, the slave device does not generate a radio frequency field, but passively receives the radio frequency field generated by the master device, it is called a passive mode. In this passive mode, the NFC master device can detect a contactless card or an NFC target device and establish a connection with it.
[0066] In the air conditioner indoor unit provided in this embodiment, the body frame 100 may include a base, a middle frame, etc., and the electric control box 200 is installed on the base or the middle frame, which is not limited here.
[0067] In this embodiment, the launch installation carrier 410 is clamped to the outer wall of the electric control box 200, and an elastic member 430 is provided in the gap between the launch installation carrier 410 and the outer wall of the electric control box 200. Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, the elastic member 430 may be a coil spring; of course, other types of elastic members may also be selected, such as a disc spring, etc. The elastic member 430 is in a compressed state as its working state. Under the action of the elastic potential energy of the elastic member 430, the transmitting mounting carrier 410 has a tendency to move away from the outer wall of the electric control box 200, that is, to move closer to the receiving coil 520, thereby making the transmitting coil 420 and the receiving coil 520 stably maintained within the effective transmission distance range, so as to ensure the stability of power supply, data and signal transmission.
[0068] In this embodiment, the transmitting installation carrier 410 can adopt various structural forms, and its main function is to fix and install the transmitting coil 420, specifically, Figure 1-Figure 4As shown, the transmitting installation carrier 410 can be configured to include an open transmitting coil box 411 and a floating plate 412 detachably fixed to the open portion of the transmitting coil box 411, and the transmitting coil 420 is installed in the space surrounded by the transmitting coil box 411 and the floating plate 412; the floating plate 412 is clamped to the outer wall of the electric control box 200, and the elastic member 430 is arranged in the gap between the floating plate 412 and the outer wall of the electric control box 200. When installing the transmitting coil 420, the floating plate 412 and the transmitting coil box 411 are in a separated state. After the transmitting coil 420 is fixedly installed at the corresponding position, the floating plate 412 and the transmitting coil box 411 are fixedly connected together, thus completing the installation of the transmitting coil 420. When disassembling, the floating plate 412 and the transmitting coil box 411 are first disassembled and separated, and then the transmitting coil 420 is taken out, which has the advantage of convenient disassembly and assembly. In addition, the transmitting coil box 411 and the floating plate 412 can be selected to use conventional shells or plate structures, which are widely available and have low manufacturing costs.
[0069] It should be noted that the transmitting coil 420 can be fixed to the floating plate 412 or the transmitting coil box 411 by bonding.
[0070] In this embodiment, Figure 2-Figure 4 As shown, the electric control box 200 has an electric control box cover 210, and the electric control box cover 210 has a first clamping portion 211 and a second clamping portion 212, the first clamping portion 211 is used to clamp with a first edge portion of a floating plate 412, and the second clamping portion 212 is used to clamp with a second edge portion of the floating plate 412, and the first edge portion and the second edge portion are arranged opposite to each other; the elastic member 430 is arranged in the gap between the floating plate 412 and the electric control box cover 210. The arrangement of the first clamping portion 211 and the second clamping portion 212 can limit the floating plate 412 to prevent it from being separated from the electric control box 200 in the working state, so as to stably install the transmitting coil 420 at the corresponding position.
[0071] In this embodiment, Figure 1-Figure 4As shown, a first guide structure is provided between the first clamping portion 211 and the first edge portion, and a second guide structure is provided between the second clamping portion 212 and the second edge portion, and the floating plate 412 can be guided by the first guide structure and the second guide structure to move closer to or farther from the electric control box cover 210. The arrangement of the first guide structure and the second guide structure can ensure that the floating plate 412 stably moves to the corresponding position under the action of the elastic member 430 when the floating plate 412 is disassembled and assembled, so as to ensure the position accuracy of the floating plate 412, and further ensure the stability of the spacing between the transmitting coil 420 and the receiving coil 520. The arrangement of the floating plate 412 and the elastic member 430 allows the floating plate 412 to be supported by the elastic member 430 and, under the guidance of the first guide structure and the second guide structure, to smoothly approach or move away from the electric control box cover 210, thereby maintaining the proximity of the transmitting coil 420 and the receiving coil 520 to provide good energy and signal conversion conditions; and enables the air conditioner to have greater versatility and be able to match different radians of the panels 300. When the panel 300 is replaced, the distance between the transmitting coil 420 and the receiving coil 520 can also be maintained within a reasonable range, thereby ensuring the stability of power supply and / or signal.
[0072] Specifically, Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, along the running trend direction of the floating plate 412, the first clamping part 211 extends outward from the outer wall of the electric control box cover 210 and protrudes from the outer wall of the electric control box cover 210, and its cross-sectional shape is an "L"-shaped cross-section. There are two first clamping parts 211, which are arranged opposite to each other, and the ends thereof have a limiting end plate, which is used to limit the floating plate 412 from moving out of the first clamping part 211, in other words, it is used to clamp the floating plate 412 at the position of the limiting end plate. The two adjacent corner positions of the first edge of the floating plate have notches that are adapted to the cross-section of the first clamping part. When the floating plate 412 is installed on the first clamping part, the notch is just overlapped on the L-shaped surface, thereby completing the limiting and stable connection of the floating plate 412. The second clamping portion 212 extends outward from the outer wall of the electric control box 210 and protrudes from the outer wall of the electric control box cover 210. The free end of the second clamping portion 212 has a clamping head, which extends in the direction close to the first clamping portion 211 and is used to clamp the second edge of the floating plate 412 to prevent the second edge from slipping out of the clamping head. The second clamping portion can be made of an elastic material. The clamping head has a guide surface, which is used to facilitate the second edge of the floating plate 412 to be introduced into or out of the second clamping portion 212 when the floating plate 412 is installed.
[0073] In this embodiment, Figure 4As shown, the floating plate 412 has a limiting structure for fixing and installing the transmitting coil 420. The limiting structure extends in a direction away from the electric control box cover 210 and protrudes from the plate surface of the floating plate 412. The limiting structure includes a first limiting portion 4121 and a second limiting portion 4122 arranged opposite to each other. The first limiting portion 4121 and the second limiting portion 4122 are both snap-fitted with the transmitting coil box 411. The transmitting coil 420 can be fixedly installed in the space surrounded by the floating plate 412, the first limiting portion 4121, the second limiting portion 4122 and the transmitting coil box 411. The transmitting coil 420 has a transmitting coil extension arm 421, and the transmitting coil extension arm 421 can be snapped into the second limiting portion 4122. In this way, the transmitting coil 420 is stably installed on the floating plate 412 to prevent its position from shaking and ensure the stability of its data transmission. In addition, the snap-fit connection method has the advantages of convenient and quick installation.

When disassembling and assembling the transmitting coil 420, the guide surface is used to guide the transmitting coil extension arm 421, and the fixing head is used to fix the transmitting coil extension arm 421 to prevent the transmitting coil extension arm 421 from falling out of the second limiting portion, thereby ensuring the installation stability of the transmitting coil 420.

The receiving coil 520 and the NFC communication module 540 are independently arranged in the corresponding installation space. The setting of the convex wall structure 535 can isolate the corresponding modules and ensure the moisture-proof and waterproof requirements of the PCB (printed circuit board) of the corresponding modules. For example, the voice module 531 and the humidity detection module 532 are isolated from the display module 533 through the convex wall structure 535, thereby ensuring the moisture-proof and waterproof requirements of the PCB of the display module 533.

[0082] In addition, the functional modules are integrated into the panel control component assembly 530 and fixedly connected or integrated on the receiving and mounting carrier 510, which can simplify the structure, save space, facilitate disassembly and assembly, and reduce costs. In actual use, the functional modules of the panel control component assembly 530 can be directly expanded as needed, and the functional expansion is easy to achieve; because the functional modules are integrated into the panel control component assembly 530, they are not directly fixedly connected to the panel 300, but fixedly connected or integrated on the receiving and mounting carrier 510, thereby improving the space utilization of the panel 300.
[0083] In summary, the air-conditioning indoor unit provided in the embodiment of the present invention is provided with a transmitting coil 420 and a receiving coil 520, and utilizes electromagnetic induction wireless power supply technology and NFC near-field communication technology to realize data interaction, so as to complete display, humidity detection, voice playback, radar human sensing functions, etc., and communicate with the main controller for data interaction; each functional module is integrated into the panel control component assembly 530, and the panel controller assembly is installed or integrated into the receiving installation carrier 510, which not only simplifies the structure but also reduces the difficulty of realizing functional expansion; the body frame 100, the electric control box 200, the panel 300, the transmitter assembly 400, and the receiving control assembly 500 are configured as independent components, and corresponding direct or indirect detachable fixed connections are performed, which has the advantage of easy disassembly and assembly, and can significantly improve production efficiency.
[0084] It should be noted that the position of the electric control box cover in this embodiment can also be the side of the evaporator, the base or the middle frame close to the panel. In other words, the transmitting coil 420 is preferentially arranged at a position close to the electric control box cover 210 through the floating plate 412, so as to facilitate the wiring between the transmitting coil 420 and the electric control box 200 to achieve electrical connection between the two; in addition, the transmitting coil 420 can also be set at other positions, for example, on the side of the evaporator, the base or the middle frame close to the panel; when the body frame 100 has a middle frame, the transmitting coil 420 can be installed on the middle frame, and when the middle frame and the panel are integrated to form a face frame, the transmitting coil 420 can be directly set on the front side of the evaporator or on the side of the base close to the face frame.
