Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] With the development of society, consumers are increasingly pursuing a high-quality life, among which air conditioners have become the first choice of most consumers. Air conditioners can perform air conditioning in the installation area, thereby improving the environment of the installation area and enhancing the comfort of consumers. However, now consumers are no longer limited to satisfying the existing air conditioning, and hope to get a higher quality conditioning effect to further improve the quality of life of consumers.

[0003] Among them, ion generators are low in cost, easy to use and have high sterilization efficiency, and are increasingly used in air conditioners. However, the installation of ion generators in air conditioner assembly takes a long time, which reduces the efficiency of air conditioner assembly. Summary of the invention

[0004] The problem solved by the invention is the technical problem of low assembly efficiency of the ion generator on the air conditioner in the prior art.

[0005] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides an air conditioner, including an air duct housing and an ion generator.

[0006] An air guide channel for air flow is formed on the inner side of the air duct shell, and a through hole connected to the air guide channel is opened on the air duct shell. A limiting buckle is arranged on the air duct shell, and a limiting space is formed between the limiting buckle and the air duct shell.

[0007] The ion generator comprises a shell, a mesh cover, a limit block and a mounting ear, wherein the mesh cover, the limit block and the mounting ear are all mounted on the outer side of the shell.

[0008] The shell can move along a preset direction to drive at least a portion of the mesh cover to pass through the through hole to extend into the air guide channel, and can drive the limiting block to be inserted into the limiting space.

[0009] The mounting ears are detachably connected to the air duct housing.

[0010] When the air conditioner provided by the present invention is assembling the ion generator, the housing can be moved to drive the mesh cover, the mounting ear and the limit block to move in a preset direction, so that the housing drives the mesh cover to pass through the through hole and extend into the air guide channel, so that the needle electrode extending into the mesh cover can release ions into the air guide channel; at the same time, when the mesh cover extends into the through hole, the limit block can be inserted into the limit space, thereby completing the pre-installation of the ion generator. When the limit block moves to a proper position and the ion generator is located at a proper position, the installation of the ion generator can be achieved through the detachable connection between the mounting ear and the air duct housing. Among them, when assembling the ion generator, only the detachable connection between the mounting ear and the air duct housing needs to be completed to complete the installation between the ion generator and the air duct housing, which can achieve the purpose of quickly assembling the ion generator, thereby improving the assembly efficiency of the ion generator and the assembly efficiency of the air conditioner, and solving the technical problem of low assembly efficiency of the ion generator on the air conditioner in the prior art.

[0011] In order to facilitate the mutual cooperation between the limit block and the limit buckle when the mesh cover is inserted into the through hole, optionally, the shell has a first side surface and a second side surface arranged adjacent to each other, the mesh cover is arranged on the first side surface, the limit block is convexly arranged on the second side surface, and the limit block extends toward one side of the first side surface. It can be achieved that when the shell moves along a preset direction, the limit block can be moved along the preset direction into the limit space, and the mutual cooperation between the limit block and the limit buckle is ensured.

[0012] Optionally, a guiding slope is formed at one end of the limiting block close to the first side surface, and the height of the limiting block relative to the second side surface gradually decreases in a direction toward the first side surface. By forming a guiding slope at one end of the limiting block close to the first side surface, the limiting block can be easily inserted into the limiting space, thereby improving the efficiency of the cooperation between the limiting buckle and the limiting block.

[0013] Optionally, the limit block extends along a straight line.

[0014] Optionally, a reinforcement portion is further provided on the shell, and the reinforcement portion is connected to one side of the limit block and is arranged at an angle with the limit block.

[0015] By arranging a reinforcing portion at an angle with the limit block on one side of the limit block, the strength of the limit block can be improved through the reinforcing portion. In other words, the reinforcing portion provides a reinforcing rib to the limit block.

[0016] Optionally, the reinforcing portion is protruding from one side of the limiting block, and when the shell moves along the preset direction and drives the limiting block to be inserted into the limiting space, the reinforcing portion can be driven to abut against the limiting block.

[0017] Furthermore, when the shell drives the mesh cover to extend into the appropriate position in the through hole, and drives the limit block to extend into the appropriate position in the limit space, the shell can be provided with a limiting effect by the purpose of the limit buckle through the reinforcement part, thereby ensuring that the mesh cover can extend into the designated position of the ventilation channel, and ensuring that the limit block and the limit buckle cooperate with each other accurately to ensure the stability of the limit.

[0018] Optionally, in order to facilitate the installation of the ion generator and ensure that the mesh cover can extend into the through hole, the air duct housing includes an enclosure and a mounting plate, the enclosure and the mounting plate are arranged at an angle, and the inner side of the enclosure is used to enclose the air guide channel, and the mounting plate is arranged on the outer side of the enclosure.

[0019] The through hole is formed through the enclosure plate, and the limiting buckle is convexly arranged on the mounting plate and forms the limiting space together with the mounting plate.

[0020] Optionally, the mounting plate has a mounting area, the through hole corresponds to the middle of the mounting area, and the limiting buckle is arranged on one side of the mounting area.

[0021] Optionally, the limiting buckle includes a connecting portion and a snap portion, the connecting portion is protruding on the mounting plate and located on one side of the mounting area, the snap portion is arranged at an end of the connecting portion away from the mounting plate and extends toward the mounting area, and the limiting space is formed between the snap portion and the mounting plate.

[0022] Optionally, a mounting portion adapted to the mounting ear is further provided on the mounting plate or the enclosure, and the mounting ear is detachably connected to the mounting portion.

[0023] By providing a mounting portion adapted to the mounting ear, the mounting ear and the air duct housing can be conveniently connected to each other.

[0024] Optionally, in order to improve the efficiency of the mutual cooperation between the mounting ear and the mounting portion, and improve the installation efficiency between the mounting ear and the mounting portion, the mounting portion is protruded from the mounting portion or the enclosure, the mounting ear has a mounting surface, the mounting surface is attached to the mounting portion, and a positioning piece is protruded from the mounting surface, and the positioning piece is abutted against the side of the mounting portion adjacent to the air duct housing. The mutual cooperation between the mounting portion and the mounting ear can be achieved by attaching the positioning piece to the outer side of the mounting portion, which can improve the installation efficiency of the mounting ear and the mounting portion, and at the same time, the matching installation accuracy between the mounting ear and the mounting portion can be improved, so as to improve the installation stability between the mounting ear and the mounting portion.

[0025] Optionally, the mounting portion is cylindrical and forms an arc-shaped outer peripheral surface, and the positioning piece is bent into an arc shape and is adapted to the outer peripheral surface of the mounting portion.

[0026] In order to strengthen the strength of the mounting ear, the mounting ear may optionally further include a reinforcing surface disposed opposite to the mounting surface, a reinforcing member protruding from the reinforcing surface, and the reinforcing member connected to the outer side surface of the housing. By strengthening the strength of the mounting ear, the stability of the ion generator installed in the air duct housing can be ensured. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0038] 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.

[0039] An air conditioner can be used for air conditioning in a designated area, so that the air quality in the designated area meets the needs of users and improves the quality of life of users. In order to further improve the quality of life, a device for improving the quality of the air flow exported by the air conditioner can be added to the air conditioner, so as to achieve the above purpose by improving the comfort caused to users by the air flow exported by the air conditioner. Among them, in the prior art, in order to achieve the above purpose, an ion generator is set on the air conditioner, and the ions released by the ion generator are introduced into the air flow exported by the air conditioner, which can efficiently improve the quality of the air flow exported by the air conditioner, so as to further improve the quality of life of users.

[0040] However, in the prior art, when assembling the air conditioner, especially when installing the ion generator, it is necessary to consider that the ion generator can effectively release ions into the airflow discharged from the air conditioner, and it is also necessary to minimize the impact on other components of the air conditioner. Therefore, in the prior art, it is very difficult to install the ion generator, which in turn affects the overall assembly efficiency of the air conditioner.

[0041] In order to solve the technical problem of low assembly efficiency of ion generator on air conditioner in the prior art, please refer to Figure 1 The present application provides an air conditioner 10 , which can improve the installation efficiency of the ion generator 200 , thereby improving the overall installation and assembly efficiency of the air conditioner 10 .

[0042] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 ,in, Figure 2The arrow in the lower left corner indicates the preset direction below. The air conditioner 10 at least includes an air duct housing 100 and an ion generator 200. The air duct housing 100 is used to enclose an air guide channel 112 for air flow, that is, the air flow derived from the air conditioner 10 can be guided through the air guide channel 112 to guide the air flow derived from the air conditioner 10 to a designated area, thereby achieving air conditioning in the designated area. In addition, a through hole 111 is also provided on the air duct housing 100, and the through hole 111 is connected to the air guide channel 112, and the through hole 111 is also used to connect the air guide channel 112 and the external space of the air duct housing 100. A limit buckle 122 is provided on the outside of the air duct housing 100, and a limit space 1223 is formed between the limit buckle 122 and the air duct housing 100. In addition, the ion generator 200 includes a housing 210, a mesh cover 220, a limit block 230 and a mounting ear 240. The housing 210 is provided with a needle electrode and a circuit module connected to the needle electrode. The circuit module can provide electrical energy to the needle electrode and release ions outward through the needle electrode. At the same time, the needle electrode extends outward from the housing 210 to release ions outward from the housing 210. In addition, the mesh cover 220, the stopper 230 and the mounting ear 240 are all installed on the outside of the housing 210. The mesh cover 220 covers the needle electrode extending outward from the housing 210 to provide protection for the needle electrode.

[0043] When the ion generator 200 is installed on the air duct housing 100, the housing 210 moves along a preset direction and simultaneously drives the mesh cover 220, the limit block 230 and the mounting ear 240 to move along the preset direction. Moreover, the housing 210 can drive at least part of the mesh cover 220 to pass through the through hole 111 and extend into the interior of the air guide channel 112, so that the ions released by the needle electrode inside the mesh cover 220 can be released into the interior of the air guide channel 112, thereby achieving the sterilization of the airflow inside the air guide channel 112 and achieving the purpose of improving the quality of the airflow discharged by the air conditioner 10. While the shell 210 moves along a preset direction and drives the mesh cover 220 to extend into the through hole 111, the shell 210 can also drive the limit block 230 and the mounting ear 240 to move and make the limit block 230 move along the preset direction into the limit space 1223 to achieve mutual cooperation between the limit block 230 and the limit buckle 122; at the same time, the mounting ear 240 is driven to a preset position, and the installation of the ion generator 200 and the air duct shell 100 is achieved through the detachable connection between the mounting ear 240 and the air duct shell 100. Among them, when the mesh cover 220 and the needle electrode are extended into the air guide channel 112, the mutual cooperation of the limit block 230 and the limit buckle 122 and the movement of the mounting ear 240 to the appropriate position can be achieved, and the mutual assembly of the ion generator 200 and the air duct housing 100 is achieved through the mutual detachable connection between the mounting ear 240 and the air duct housing 100, which greatly improves the installation efficiency of the ion generator 200, thereby improving the installation efficiency of the air conditioner 10 and solving the technical problem of low assembly efficiency of the ion generator 200 on the air conditioner 10 in the prior art. In addition, installing the ion generator 200 on the outside of the air duct housing 100 can reduce the influence of the ion generator 200 on other parts of the air conditioner 10.

[0044] For further information, please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 In order to facilitate the purpose of the limit block 230 being inserted into the limit space 1223, in some embodiments of the present application, the limit block 230 is convexly arranged on the outer side of the shell 210, and the limit block 230 extends along a straight line, so that when the shell 210 moves along a preset direction, it can drive the limit block 230 to move along the preset direction into the limit space 1223, thereby realizing the mutual cooperation between the limit block 230 and the limit buckle 122. It should be noted that the preset direction is a straight line, so that when the shell 210 moves along a straight line, it can drive the limit block 230 to move along a straight line, and when the straight line where the preset direction is located and the straight line formed by the limit block 230 coincide with each other or are parallel to each other, the shell 210 can drive the limit block 230 to move into the limit space 1223.

[0045] It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, the housing 210 may have a first side surface 211 and a second side surface 212 which are adjacently arranged, and the mesh cover 220 is arranged on the first side surface 211, that is, the needle electrode extends from the first side surface 211 of the mesh cover 220, and at this time, the mesh cover 220 is arranged on the first side surface 211 to provide protection for the needle electrode. The stop block 230 is convexly arranged on the second side surface 212, and the stop block 230 extends along a straight line toward the first side surface 211. It should be noted that the direction toward the first side surface 211 refers to the direction of the side edge of the second side surface 212 close to the first side surface 211 on the second side surface 212. As described above, when the housing 210 is moved along the preset direction, that is, when the housing 210 is moved so that the mesh cover 220 moves toward the through hole 111, the stop block 230 simultaneously moves toward the limit space 1223, and when the mesh cover 220 extends into the inside of the through hole 111, the stop block 230 extends into the limit space 1223. When the mesh cover 220 extends into the air guide channel 112 , the limiting block 230 and the limiting buckle 122 cooperate with each other to achieve the pre-installation of the ion generator 200 .

[0046] In some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 In order to facilitate the position-limiting block 230 to extend into the position-limiting space 1223, optionally, a guide slope 2311 is formed on the side of the position-limiting block 230 close to the first side 211, and the height of the position-limiting block 230 relative to the second side 212 is gradually reduced in the direction toward the first side 211. Through this setting method, an end with a smaller width can be formed at the end of the position-limiting block 230 close to the first side 211, and when the position-limiting block 230 moves toward the position-limiting space 1223, the end with a smaller width of the position-limiting block 230 can enter the position-limiting space 1223 first, which can ensure that the position-limiting block 230 moves stably into the position-limiting space 1223, thereby improving the efficiency and stability of the position-limiting block 230 moving into the position-limiting space 1223. It should be noted that the guide slope 2311 can extend along a straight line or along an arc. Of course, in some embodiments of the present application, the setting of the guide slope 2311 can also be cancelled.

[0047] In addition, in order to ensure the aesthetics of the stop block 230, an inclined surface consistent with the guide inclined surface 2311 can be set at one end of the stop block 230 away from the first side surface 211, so that the stop block 230 is symmetrical. This setting can improve the aesthetics of the stop block 230, thereby improving the aesthetics of the ion generator 200. Of course, in other embodiments, the setting of the inclined surface can also be cancelled.

[0048] Furthermore, in order to improve the strength of the limit block 230, in the embodiment of the present application, a reinforcing portion 232 connected to the limit block 230 is further provided on the housing 210, and the reinforcing portion 232 is connected to one side of the limit block 230 and is arranged at an angle to the limit block 230. The reinforcing portion 232 can provide a reinforcing effect to the limit block 230 in a direction perpendicular to the extending direction of the limit block 230, thereby ensuring the strength of the limit block 230, so as to ensure that the limit block 230 can stably cooperate with the limit buckle 122.

[0049] Of course, in order to improve the accuracy of the fit between the limit block 230 and the limit buckle 122, the reinforcement part 232 is convexly arranged on one side of the limit block 230, and when the housing 210 drives the limit block 230 to move along the preset direction, the housing 210 also drives the reinforcement part 232 to abut against the limit buckle 122 to limit the housing 210 from continuing to move along the preset direction. At this time, it means that the limit block 230 and the limit buckle 122 have completed mutual fit, and the net cover 220 extends to the preset position in the air guide channel 112. After the limit block 230 moves into the limit space 1223 along the preset direction and moves to an appropriate position, the first limit block 230 can be limited to continue to move along the preset direction by the mutual abutment between the reinforcement part 232 and the limit buckle 122, thereby ensuring that the limit block 230 can move to the specified position, thereby ensuring that the limit buckle 122 provides a stable limit effect to the limit block 230.

[0050] Optionally, in some embodiments of the present application, the reinforcing portion 232 is convexly disposed on one side of the limiting block 230, and the extension direction of the reinforcing portion 232 is perpendicular to the extension direction of the limiting block 230, so that when the limiting block 230 moves in a preset direction and enters the limiting space 1223, the reinforcing portion 232 can abut against the limiting buckle 122. In addition, a side of the reinforcing portion 232 close to the mesh cover 220 forms a supporting surface 2321, and the supporting surface 2321 can abut against the limiting buckle 122. That is, when the reinforcing portion 232 and the limiting buckle 122 abut against each other, the limiting buckle 122 abuts against the abutting surface 2321 on the reinforcing portion 232 close to the mesh cover 220, and correspondingly, the reinforcing portion 232 abuts against the side of the limiting buckle 122 away from the through hole 111 that cooperates with the mesh cover 220, so as to achieve the purpose of limiting the housing 210 from continuing to move along the preset direction. It should be understood that in other embodiments, a reinforcement portion 232 may also be provided on the side of the limit block 230 away from the shell 210. Similarly, the mutual abutment between the reinforcement portion 232 and the limit buckle 122 can limit the continued movement of the shell 210 along the preset direction, thereby providing a positioning effect to the matching position of the limit block 230 and the limit buckle 122 through the reinforcement portion 232.

[0051] In the embodiments of this application, please continue to refer to Figure 2The air duct housing 100 includes a panel 110 and a mounting plate 120, and the mounting plate 120 and the panel 110 are connected to each other and arranged at an angle. The inner side of the panel 110 is used to enclose an air guide channel 112, and the mounting plate 120 is arranged corresponding to the outer side of the panel 110. A through hole 111 is provided on the panel 110, and the through hole 111 is arranged through the panel 110, so that the through hole 111 can connect the air guide channel 112 and the outer space of the panel 110. A limit buckle 122 is convexly arranged on the mounting plate 120, and a limit space 1223 is formed between the limit buckle 122 and the mounting plate 120. The mounting ear 240 is detachably connected to the mounting plate 120 or the enclosure 110 , so that the ion generator 200 can be detachably mounted on the mounting plate 120 , and the mesh cover 220 can extend through the through hole 111 into the air guide channel 112 , and the limit block 230 can extend into the limit space 1223 .

[0052] Furthermore, the mounting plate 120 has a mounting area 121, which is used to mount the ion generator 200. The through hole 111 corresponds to the middle of the mounting area 121, and further corresponds to the mesh cover 220 located on the first side 211; the limit buckle 122 is arranged on one side of the mounting area 121 to correspond to the limit block 230 located on the second side 212. When the ion generator 200 is mounted on the mounting area 121, the housing 210 moves toward the top of the mounting area 121 along a preset direction, and at the same time, the mesh cover 220 moves toward the through hole 111, so that the limit block 230 moves toward the limit space 1223; when the mesh cover 220 penetrates into the through hole 111, the limit block 230 extends into the limit space 1223. When the limiting block 230 moves to an appropriate position in the limiting space 1223 , the reinforcing portion 232 abuts against a side of the limiting buckle 122 away from the through hole 111 . Meanwhile, the mesh cover 220 extends into the air guiding channel 112 , and the housing 210 corresponds to the installation area 121 .

[0053] Optionally, see Figure 3 The limit buckle 122 includes a connecting portion 1221 and a buckle portion 1222. The connecting portion 1221 is convexly arranged on the mounting plate 120 and is located at one side of the mounting area 121. The buckle portion 1222 is arranged at one end of the connecting portion 1221 away from the mounting plate 120 and extends toward the mounting area 121, so that a limit space 1223 is formed between the buckle portion 1222 and the mounting plate 120. When the limit block 230 is inserted into the limit space 1223, the buckle portion 1222 can provide a limit function to the limit block 230 in a direction perpendicular to the preset direction. And when the limit block 230 is inserted into the appropriate position in the limit space 1223, the reinforcing portion 232 abuts against the side of the buckle portion 1222 away from the through hole 111.

[0054] For further information, please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 In one embodiment of the present application, the housing 210 further has a third side surface 213 arranged opposite to the second side surface 212, and the mounting ear 240 is arranged on the third side surface 213 of the housing 210. At this time, the mounting ear 240 corresponds to the mounting plate 120 and is detachably connected to the mounting plate 120. When the mounting ear 240 is installed on the mounting plate 120, the mounting ear 240 and the stop block 230 can provide a stabilizing effect to the housing 210 from both sides of the housing 210, thereby ensuring the stability of the housing 210 installed on the mounting plate 120. Among them, the position on the mounting plate 120 corresponding to the mounting ear 240 is located on the side of the mounting area 121 opposite to the stop buckle 122.

[0055] Based on this, see Figure 2 In order to facilitate the installation of the mounting ear 240, a mounting portion 123 corresponding to the mounting ear 240 is protruded on the mounting plate 120, and the mounting portion 123 is detachably connected to the mounting ear 240 to realize the detachable connection between the mounting ear 240 and the mounting plate 120. When the housing 210 moves along a preset direction, the housing 210 drives the limit block 230, the mesh cover 220 and the mounting ear 240 to move. When the mesh cover 220 passes through the through hole 111 and extends into the interior of the air guide channel 112, the limit block 230 extends into the appropriate position of the limit space 1223, and the reinforcing portion 232 abuts against the limit buckle 122, the mounting ear 240 corresponds to the mounting portion 123. Then, the installation and assembly of the ion generator 200 can be realized through the detachable connection between the mounting ear 240 and the mounting portion 123.

[0056] Of course, if Figure 8 and Fig. 9 In another embodiment of the present application, the housing further has a fourth side surface 214 adjacent to the first side surface 211 and adjacent to the second side surface 212, and the mounting ear 240 can be arranged on the fourth side surface 214. At this time, the stop block 230 and the mounting ear 240 can also provide a stabilizing effect to the housing 210 from the two sides of the housing 210, so as to ensure that the housing 210 is stably installed on the outside of the air duct housing 100. In addition, when the mounting ear 240 is installed on the fourth side surface 214, the mounting ear 240 is detachably connected to the enclosure 110 to realize the installation of the housing 210 on the outside of the air duct housing 100. Based on this, the mounting portion 123 can be convexly arranged on the enclosure 110, so as to be detachably connected to the mounting ear 240 to realize the detachable connection of the mounting ear 240 and the enclosure 110.

[0057] In the following, the example in which the mounting portion 123 is protruded on the mounting plate 120 is taken for explanation.

[0058] It should be noted that, in some embodiments of the present application, the mounting ear 240 and the mounting portion 123 can be connected by screws, that is, the screw passes through the mounting ear 240 and is detachably connected to the mounting portion 123, so that the mounting ear 240 can be detachably connected to the mounting portion 123. That is, in the embodiments of the present application, when installing the ion generator 200, the housing 210 is first used to drive the mesh cover 220 and the stop block 230 to move to a specified position, that is, the mesh cover 220 passes through the through hole 111 and extends into the interior of the air guide channel 112, and when the stop block 230 and the stop buckle 122 cooperate with each other, the mounting ear 240 and the mounting portion 123 correspond to each other. After the mounting ear 240 and the mounting portion 123 correspond to each other, the assembly and installation of the ion generator 200 is realized by the detachable connection between the mounting ear 240 and the mounting portion 123. Among them, it is only necessary to complete the detachable connection between a mounting ear 240 and the air duct housing 100 to complete the installation between the ion generator 200 and the air duct housing 100, which can achieve the purpose of quickly assembling the ion generator 200, thereby improving the assembly efficiency of the ion generator 200 and the assembly efficiency of the air conditioner 10, and solving the technical problem of low assembly efficiency of the ion generator 200 on the air conditioner 10 in the prior art.

[0059] Optionally, the mounting ear 240 has a mounting surface 241, and when the mounting ear 240 and the mounting portion 123 are mounted to each other, the mounting surface 241 is attached to the mounting portion 123. In order to improve the efficiency of the mutual cooperation between the mounting ear 240 and the mounting portion 123, and improve the installation efficiency between the mounting ear 240 and the mounting portion 123, a positioning member 2411 is convexly provided on the mounting surface 241, and the positioning member 2411 is abutted against the side of the mounting portion 123 adjacent to the air duct housing 100. That is, when the housing 210 moves along a preset direction and the reinforcing portion 232 abuts against the limiting buckle 122, the mounting ear 240 and the mounting portion 123 can be mutually corresponded by the positioning member 2411 abutting against the mounting portion 123. Among them, the positioning member 2411 can improve the accuracy of the mutual correspondence between the mounting ear 240 and the mounting portion 123, and ensure that the mounting ear 240 and the mounting portion 123 accurately correspond to form a preset state. It should be noted that, since the mounting portion 123 is protruding on the mounting plate 120 , the side of the mounting portion 123 adjacent to the air duct housing 100 refers to the side of the mounting portion 123 adjacent to the mounting plate 120 , that is, the circumferential surface of the mounting portion 123 .

[0060] Further, the mounting portion 123 is cylindrical, and the mounting portion 123 forms an arc-shaped outer peripheral surface, which is the side of the mounting portion 123 adjacent to the mounting plate 120. The positioning member 2411 is bent to form an arc shape that matches the outer peripheral surface of the mounting portion 123, so that when the housing 210 moves along a preset direction, the concave side of the arc-shaped positioning member 2411 can be attached to the outer peripheral surface of the mounting portion 123, thereby improving the positioning accuracy of the positioning member 2411, thereby achieving accurate positioning of the mounting ear 240 and the mounting portion 123. It should be understood that in other embodiments, the positioning member 2411 can also be formed into other shapes, such as a V-shape or a U-shape; or, when the outer peripheral surface of the mounting portion 123 forms other shapes, the positioning member 2411 can also be set to other shapes that match the mounting portion 123, for example, when the mounting portion 123 forms a prism, the positioning member 2411 can be a structure extending along a straight line.

[0061] In addition, in some embodiments of the present application, the side of the mounting ear 240 opposite to the mounting surface 241 is a reinforcement surface 242. In order to improve the strength of the mounting ear 240, a reinforcement member 2421 is convexly provided on the reinforcement surface 242, and the reinforcement member 2421 is also connected to the outer side of the shell 210. The reinforcement member 2421 provides a reinforcement effect to the mounting ear 240, which can improve the bending resistance of the mounting ear 240, improve the strength of the mounting ear 240, and thus improve the installation stability of the ion generator 200. Optionally, in some embodiments of the present application, the reinforcement member 2421 is a plate-like structure extending perpendicular to the mounting ear 240, and the reinforcement member 2421 can be provided in plurality, and the plurality of reinforcement members 2421 are arranged at intervals on the mounting ear 240 and connected to the outer side of the shell 210 to further improve the strength of the mounting ear 240.

[0062] In summary, when the air conditioner 10 provided in the embodiment of the present application is assembling the ion generator 200, the moving housing 210 can drive the mesh cover 220, the mounting ear 240 and the stop block 230 to move in a preset direction, so that the housing 210 drives the mesh cover 220 to pass through the through hole 111 and extend into the air guide channel 112, so that the needle electrode extending into the mesh cover 220 can release ions into the air guide channel 112; at the same time, when the mesh cover 220 extends into the through hole 111, the stop block 230 can be inserted into the limit space 1223, thereby completing the pre-installation of the ion generator 200. When the stop block 230 moves to a suitable position and the ion generator 200 is located in a suitable position, the ion generator 200 can be installed by the detachable connection between the mounting ear 240 and the air duct housing 100. Among them, when assembling the ion generator 200, it is only necessary to complete the detachable connection between a mounting ear 240 and the air duct housing 100 to complete the installation between the ion generator 200 and the air duct housing 100, which can achieve the purpose of quickly assembling the ion generator 200, thereby improving the assembly efficiency of the ion generator 200 and the assembly efficiency of the air conditioner 10, and solving the technical problem of low assembly efficiency of the ion generator 200 on the air conditioner 10 in the prior art.

[0063] 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.
