Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of air conditioners, and particularly to an indoor air conditioner and an air conditioner. Background Art

[0002] In the prior art, in order to enhance the medical and health effects of an air conditioner on the human body, a negative ion health module is installed on an existing indoor air conditioner. The negative ion health module can generate negative oxygen ions with antioxidant and anti-aging effects. The negative oxygen ions diffuse into the room along with the cold air sent out by the indoor air conditioner, playing an efficient medical and health role on the human body. Among them, the existing negative ion health module includes a high-voltage package and a transmitting head assembly that are electrically connected to each other. The transmitting head assembly is generally fixed at the air outlet of the indoor air conditioner so that negative oxygen ions can diffuse into the room along with the cold air. However, for an easily detachable indoor air conditioner, the cleaning work can be completed by removing the air duct components. However, the existing transmitting head assembly is generally fixed at the air outlet in a non-detachable or difficult-to-detach manner, with poor detachability, resulting in the transmitting head assembly being easily damaged by immersion in water when cleaning the air duct components, causing the negative ion health module to malfunction. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to provide an indoor air conditioner in which the transmitting head assembly of the negative ion health module is detachably installed on the air duct component, and the transmitting head assembly can be conveniently disassembled from the air duct component before removing the air duct component, avoiding damage to the transmitting head assembly during the water washing process of the air duct component.

[0004] To achieve the above purpose, the present invention provides an indoor air conditioner, including:

[0005] A housing, with an air outlet formed at the bottom of the housing;

[0006] An air duct component, which is arranged in the housing. An installation groove is formed at a position on the air duct component close to the air outlet. A limiting groove is formed on the inner wall of the installation groove, and a first elastic buckle is arranged in the installation groove; and

[0007] A negative ion module, which is arranged in the housing. The negative ion module includes a mounting member, a high-voltage package fixed on the inner wall of the housing, and a transmitting component mounted on the mounting member. The transmitting component is electrically connected to the high-voltage package through a connecting wire. The connecting wire is arranged on the outer periphery of the air duct component, and a limiting block is arranged on the mounting member;

[0008] Wherein, the mounting member is inserted into the installation groove, the limiting block is inserted into the limiting groove, and the first elastic buckle is clamped on the side wall of the mounting member to limit the mounting member from being pulled out of the installation groove.

[0009] Based on the above solution, the emission component is clamped in the installation groove through the installation part, which is simple and convenient to disassemble and assemble. Before the air duct component needs to be removed, by pressing the first elastic buckle to release the clamping effect on the installation part, the emission component and the installation part can be pulled out from the installation groove. Subsequently, the emission component and the installation part are suspended on one side of the air duct component through the connecting wire, which not only does not interfere with the normal removal of the air duct component, but also avoids damage to the emission component caused by water flow when washing the air duct component, ensuring the normal use of the negative ion module.

[0010] In some embodiments, the limiting groove is opened at the rear side of the installation groove, and the first elastic buckle is arranged at the front side of the installation groove.

[0011] In some embodiments, the first elastic buckle includes a connected inclined guiding surface and a vertical resisting surface. The inclined guiding surface is arranged at the front end of the vertical resisting surface, and the vertical resisting surface abuts against the front end of the installation part.

[0012] In some embodiments, limiting steps are respectively formed on the left and right sides of the installation groove, and limiting ribs that cooperate with the limiting steps for limiting are respectively arranged on the left and right sides of the installation part.

[0013] In some embodiments, guiding ribs are arranged on the inner wall of the installation groove, and a guiding groove that cooperates with the guiding ribs for guiding is opened on the installation part.

[0014] In some embodiments, a handle is arranged on the front end face of the installation part.

[0015] In some embodiments, the housing is provided with a wire clip for fixing the connecting wire.

[0016] In some embodiments, the emission component includes a connecting seat and a carbon brush arranged on the connecting seat. The connecting seat is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting wire, and the connecting seat is provided with a second elastic buckle;

[0017] The installation part is hollow and has openings at both the upper and lower ends. The connecting seat passes through the installation part, and the second elastic buckle is clamped at the top of the installation part.

[0018] In some embodiments, a protective grille covering the carbon brush is arranged at the top of the installation part.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the air conditioner indoor unit of the present invention are as follows:

[0020] The high-voltage package and the emission component of the negative ion module are separately assembled in the air conditioner indoor unit. The high-voltage package is fixed on the inner wall of the housing, and the emission component is clamped to the air duct component through a mounting member. When it is necessary to remove the air duct component, by removing the mounting member from the air duct component, then the emission component and the mounting member are suspended on one side of the air duct component through a connecting wire, which neither interferes with the normal removal of the air duct component nor causes damage to the emission component when the air duct component is washed with water, ensuring the normal use of the negative ion module.

[0021] Further, an installation groove for accommodating the mounting member is formed on the air duct component. During the process of inserting the mounting member into the installation groove, the limiting block on the mounting member is inserted into the limiting groove of the installation groove, and the first elastic buckle in the installation groove is clamped on the side wall of the mounting member, thereby restricting the movement of the mounting member in the installation groove to achieve the purpose of firm installation. When disassembly is required, first press the first elastic buckle to release the limit on one side of the mounting member, and then pull the mounting member out from this side, removing the emission component from the air duct component without the need for additional auxiliary tools. The operation is simple and convenient, and the disassembly property is strong, effectively avoiding damage to the emission component when the air duct component is washed with water.

[0022] In addition, the present invention also provides an air conditioner, including an air conditioner indoor unit and an air conditioner outdoor unit connected to each other, characterized in that the air conditioner indoor unit adopts the air conditioner indoor unit as described above.

[0042] Please refer to Figure 1 -10, some embodiments of the present invention provide an air conditioner indoor unit, including a housing 1, an air duct component 2, and an anion module 3. An air outlet is formed at the bottom of the housing 1; the air duct component 2 is disposed inside the housing 1. An installation groove 21 is formed at a position of the air duct component 2 close to the air outlet. A limiting groove 22 is formed on one inner wall of the installation groove 21, and a first elastic buckle 23 is provided on the other inner wall of the installation groove 21; the anion module 3 is disposed inside the housing 1. The anion module 3 includes a mounting member 31, a high-voltage package 32 fixed on the inner wall of the housing 1, and a transmitting component 33 mounted on the mounting member 31. The transmitting component 33 is electrically connected to the high-voltage package 32 through a connecting wire 34. The connecting wire 34 is disposed on the outer periphery of the air duct component 2. A limiting block 311 is provided on the mounting member 31; wherein, the mounting member 31 is inserted into the installation groove 21, the limiting block 311 is inserted into the limiting groove 22, and the first elastic buckle 23 is clamped on the side wall of the mounting member 31 to prevent the mounting member 31 from being pulled out of the installation groove 21.

[0043] Based on the above solution, the transmitting component 33 is clamped in the installation groove 21 through the mounting member 31, and the disassembly and assembly are simple and convenient. Before the air duct component 2 needs to be removed, by pressing the first elastic buckle 23, the clamping effect on the mounting member 31 is released, so that the transmitting component 33 and the mounting member 31 can be pulled out from the installation groove 21. Subsequently, the transmitting component 33 and the mounting member 31 are suspended on one side of the air duct component 2 through the connecting wire 34, which not only does not interfere with the normal removal of the air duct component 2, but also avoids damage to the transmitting component 33 caused by water flow when washing the air duct component 2, ensuring the normal use of the negative ion module 3.

[0044] It can be understood that this embodiment does not limit the specific positions of the limiting groove 22 and the first elastic buckle 23 in the installation groove 21. For example Figure 3 As shown in FIG. -6, the limiting groove 22 can be opened at the rear side of the installation groove 21 (the rear side in this embodiment refers to the side close to the air duct 26 of the air duct component 2), then the first elastic buckle 23 is arranged at the front side of the installation groove 21. At this time, the mounting member 31 is inserted into the installation groove 21 from front to back, so that the limiting block 311 is inserted into the limiting groove 22, and the first elastic buckle 23 is clamped at the front side of the mounting member 31. Another example is that the limiting groove 22 can be opened at the bottom side of the installation groove 21, then the first elastic buckle 23 is arranged at the upper side of the installation groove 21. At this time, the mounting member 31 is inserted into the installation groove 21 from top to bottom, so that the limiting block 311 is inserted into the limiting groove 22, and the first elastic buckle 23 is clamped at the upper side of the mounting member 31.

[0045] Furthermore, in some embodiments, as Figure 6 shown, the first elastic buckle 23 includes an inclined guiding surface 231 and a vertical resisting surface 232 which are connected. The inclined guiding surface 231 is arranged at the front end of the vertical resisting surface 232, and the vertical resisting surface 232 abuts against the front end of the mounting member 31. When the mounting member 31 is inserted into the installation groove 21 from front to back, the mounting member 31 smoothly slides into the installation groove 21 from the inclined guiding surface 231, and then the vertical resisting surface 232 abuts against the front end of the mounting member 31 to limit the mounting member 31 from being pulled out from the front. When the mounting member 31 needs to be disassembled, press the first elastic buckle 23 to separate the vertical resisting surface 232 from the mounting member 31. At this time, the mounting member 31 can be pulled out from the front, and the operation is simple and the disassembly performance is strong.

[0046] Since the limiting groove 22 and the first elastic buckle 23 limit the mounting member 31 in the front-back direction, the mounting member 31 is likely to move out from the up-down direction of the installation groove 21. For this reason, as Figure 6 、 9As shown, in some embodiments, limiting steps 24 are respectively formed on the left and right sides of the installation groove 21, and limiting ribs 312 that cooperate with and limit the limiting steps 24 are respectively provided on the left and right sides of the installation member 31. The up-and-down limiting of the limiting steps 24 and the limiting ribs 312 is used to limit the up-and-down movement of the installation member 31 in the installation groove 21, so that the installation member 31 is fastened in the installation groove 21.

[0047] As Figure 6 , 10 shown, in some embodiments, guiding ribs 25 are provided on the inner wall of the installation groove 21, and guiding grooves 313 that cooperate with and guide the guiding ribs 25 are formed on the installation member 31. For example, the number of guiding ribs 25 is two, a guiding groove 313 is formed at the rear side of the installation member 31, and the two guiding ribs 25 respectively fit against the opposite sides of the guiding groove 313 to play a role in assembly guiding, so as to improve the assembly convenience of the installation member 31 in the installation groove 21.

[0048] In some embodiments, a handle 314 is provided on the front end face of the installation member 31. The handle 314 is used to facilitate the removal of the installation member 31 from the installation groove 21 during loading and unloading.

[0049] As Figure 1 shown, in some embodiments, the housing 1 is provided with a wire clip 11 for fixedly connecting the wire 34. The wire clip 11 is used to clamp the connecting wire 34 around the outer periphery of the air duct component 2, prevent the connecting wire 34 from shaking when the air conditioner indoor unit is operating, and improve the stability of the connecting wire 34 in the air conditioner indoor unit.

[0050] As Figure 8 shown, in some embodiments, the emission assembly 33 includes a connection base 331 and a carbon brush 332 provided on the connection base 331. The connection base 331 is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting wire 34, and the connection base 331 is provided with a second elastic buckle 3311; the installation member 31 is hollow and has openings at both the upper and lower ends, the connection base 331 is inserted into the installation member 31, and the second elastic buckle 3311 is clamped to the top of the installation member 31. Among them, the negative ions of the high-voltage package 32 are released from the carbon brush 332, and then diffuse into the room under the blowing of the cold air, playing a role in sterilization and at the same time playing a role in medical health for the human body. The carbon brush 332 is, for example, cylindrical, and the number can be two. The carbon brush 332 is fixed on the connection base 331 by means of glue, etc., and then the connection base 331 is connected to the installation member 31 by means of clamping. The operation is convenient and the disassembly is strong, which is convenient for replacing the damaged carbon brush 332.

[0051] In some embodiments, in order to protect the carbon brush 332 from damage during use, a protective grille 315 covering the carbon brush 332 is provided at the top of the mounting member 31. The protective grille 315 is in a mesh shape and its specific shape is adapted to the carbon brush 332. The protective grille 315 is used to prevent the carbon brush 332 from being directly exposed to the air and to avoid collision with the carbon brush 332 when the mounting member 31 is disassembled, so as to ensure the integrity of the carbon brush 332 and improve the service life of the emission component 33.

[0052] In summary, the embodiment of the present invention provides an air conditioner indoor unit, in which the high-voltage package 32 and the emission component 33 of the negative ion module 3 are independently assembled in the air conditioner indoor unit. The high-voltage package 32 is fixed on the inner wall of the housing 1, and the emission component 33 is clamped to the air duct component 2 through the mounting member 31. Before the air duct component 2 needs to be removed, by removing the mounting member 31 from the air duct component 2, then the emission component 33 and the mounting member 31 are suspended on one side of the air duct component 2 through the connecting wire 34, which neither interferes with the normal removal of the air duct component 2 nor causes damage to the emission component 33 by water flow when the air duct component 2 is washed with water, ensuring the normal use of the negative ion module 3. Further, an installation groove 21 for accommodating the mounting member 31 is provided on the air duct component 2. During the process of inserting the mounting member 31 into the installation groove 21, the limiting block 311 on the mounting member 31 is inserted into the limiting groove 22 of the installation groove 21, and the first elastic buckle 23 in the installation groove 21 is clamped to the side wall of the mounting member 31, thereby restricting the movement of the mounting member 31 in the installation groove 21 to achieve the purpose of firm installation. When disassembly is required, first press the first elastic buckle 23 to release the limit on one side of the mounting member 31, and then pull the mounting member 31 out from this side, and the emission component 33 can be removed from the air duct component 2 without additional auxiliary tools. The operation is simple and convenient, the dismountability is strong, and damage to the emission component 33 caused by washing the air duct component 2 with water can be effectively avoided.

[0053] In addition, the present invention also provides an air conditioner, including an air conditioner indoor unit and an air conditioner outdoor unit connected to each other, characterized in that the air conditioner indoor unit adopts the air conditioner indoor unit as described above.
