Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] With the improvement of people's living standards, the use of air conditioners has become very popular. During the long-term use of air conditioners, the air ducts, fan blades, water channels and other internal parts are easy to get dirty. If they are not cleaned for a long time, bacteria will grow and cause great harm to the human body. Therefore, they need to be cleaned regularly.

[0003] In order to facilitate regular cleaning, the existing air conditioner has a cover plate hinged at the bottom of the front side seat of the middle frame. When the cover plate is opened, the cover body flips upward relative to the front side seat of the middle frame to make room for disassembly and assembly of internal components such as air ducts, fan blades, and water channels. On this basis, the air conditioner is also covered with a panel that matches the cover plate on the outside of the front side seat of the middle frame, which is used for decoration of the front side surface of the air conditioner.

[0004] In order to realize the flipping and opening of the cover of the above-mentioned air conditioner, the dividing line between the cover and the panel is located at the hinge of the cover, and a larger matching gap will be formed; in addition, in order to ensure that the cover can leave sufficient space for disassembly and assembly, the hinge of the cover is usually located at the upper part of the middle frame, which causes the dividing line between the cover and the panel to be close to the top, making the width of the panel narrower than that of traditional panels. Summary of the invention

[0005] The problem solved by the present invention is how to reduce the boundary line between the cover plate body and the panel to increase the width of the panel and reduce the matching gap between the cover plate body and the panel.

[0006] To solve the above problems, the present invention provides an air conditioner shell, comprising a middle frame, a cover mechanism and a panel; the middle frame comprises a front side seat, the cover mechanism comprises a cover body, the middle frame is provided with a disassembly and assembly opening below the front side seat, the cover body is hinged at the bottom of the front side seat for opening and closing the disassembly and assembly opening, the panel is hinged at the top of the front side seat, and the bottom of the panel extends downward to the outside of the cover body, the panel is arranged on the outside of the cover body and is transmission-connected to the cover body; when the cover body is flipped upward relative to the front side seat to open the disassembly and assembly opening, the panel is driven to flip and unfold in a direction away from the front side seat; when the cover body is flipped downward relative to the front side seat to close the disassembly and assembly opening, the panel is driven to flip and fold in a direction close to the front side seat.

[0007] Compared with the prior art, the cover body and the panel in the air conditioner shell of the present invention are both hinged with the front side seat, and the cover body is then connected to the front side seat and the panel through a transmission mechanism, so that the cover body can be linked with the panel; when the cover body is flipped upward relative to the front side seat to open the disassembly and assembly opening, the panel is simultaneously driven to flip and unfold in the direction away from the front side seat, leaving flipping space for the cover body, and then the cover body can be further flipped upward; thus, when the bottom of the panel is set to extend downward to the outside of the cover body, the cover body can still leave sufficient disassembly and assembly space, thereby achieving the purpose of lowering the dividing line between the cover body and the panel, so that the width of the panel is increased, and at the same time it helps to reduce the fitting gap between the cover body and the panel.

[0008] Furthermore, the air conditioner housing is characterized in that it also includes a transmission mechanism, which is arranged on the inner side of the front side seat and is respectively connected to the panel and the cover body in a transmission manner.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the transmission mechanism is used to realize the transmission connection between the panel and the cover body. The transmission mechanism is arranged on the inner side of the front side seat to avoid it being exposed outside the middle frame and affecting the aesthetics of the air conditioner casing, and at the same time to avoid it from direct collision with foreign objects and causing damage.

[0010] Further, the transmission mechanism includes a first support rod, a second support rod and a third support rod; the two ends of the first support rod are respectively hinged to the front side seat and the third support rod, the two ends of the second support rod are respectively hinged to the first support rod and the cover plate body, and the end of the third support rod away from the first support rod is hinged to the panel.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, when the cover body is opened, the cover body flips upward relative to the front side seat, driving the second support rod to move toward the outside of the front side seat. At this time, the second support rod generates an outward pulling force on the first support rod, causing the first support rod to rotate counterclockwise with its hinge point with the front side seat as the center, and at the same time pushes the third support rod to move toward the outside of the front side seat, thereby generating an outward thrust on the panel, realizing the linkage between the panel and the cover body, that is, the panel is driven while the cover body rotates, which has the characteristics of simple structure and stable transmission.

[0012] Furthermore, a connecting rod is provided on the inner wall of the panel, and a through hole suitable for the connecting rod and the third support rod to pass through is opened on the cover body, one end of the connecting rod is fixedly connected to the panel, and the other end of the connecting rod passes through the through hole and is hinged to the third support rod for hinged connection of the third support rod and the panel.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the connecting rod and the third support rod are both located on the inner side of the panel, and the panel can shield the connecting rod and the transmission mechanism, thereby reducing the impact of the above structural setting on the appearance of the air conditioner; when the cover body is flipped, the third support rod and the connecting rod can be extended and retracted back and forth in the perforation, which can not only better realize the follow-up of the panel, but also help to increase the linkage stability between the panel and the cover body.

[0014] Further, the transmission mechanism also includes a first transmission shaft, a second transmission shaft, a third transmission shaft, a fourth transmission shaft and a fifth transmission shaft; the first transmission shaft is arranged on the front side seat, and one end of the first support rod is provided with a first clamping nozzle suitable for clamping on the first transmission shaft; the second transmission shaft is arranged on one side of the first support rod, and the third transmission shaft is arranged on the cover plate body, and the second support rod is provided with a second clamping nozzle suitable for clamping on the second transmission shaft and a third clamping nozzle suitable for clamping on the third transmission shaft; the fourth transmission shaft is arranged at one end of the first support rod away from the first clamping nozzle, and one end of the third support rod is provided with a fourth clamping nozzle suitable for clamping on the fourth transmission shaft; the fifth transmission shaft is arranged at one end of the third support rod away from the fourth clamping nozzle, and the connecting rod is provided with a fifth clamping nozzle suitable for clamping on the fifth transmission shaft.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the hinge point in the transmission mechanism is connected to the transmission shaft by a bayonet. Compared with other connection structures, it has the characteristic of rapid disassembly and assembly, thereby effectively improving the disassembly and assembly efficiency of the transmission mechanism.

[0016] Furthermore, the cover plate mechanism also includes an air sweeping component, an air outlet is opened on the cover plate body, and the air sweeping component is installed on the cover plate body and located at the air outlet.

[0017] By adopting the above technical scheme, the air sweeping assembly is installed on the cover body and can rotate with the cover body, leaving space for disassembly and cleaning of components such as the air duct, fan blades, and water channels under the front seat of the middle frame, thereby facilitating the disassembly and cleaning of the above components and eliminating the need for disassembly and assembly and waterproofing of the air sweeping assembly, thereby improving the convenience of disassembly and cleaning of the air conditioner, and having the characteristics of fewer disassembled parts and convenient disassembly and cleaning.

[0018] Furthermore, the wind sweeping assembly includes an air guide door component and an air guide electrical component. The air guide door component is installed on the cover body and is suitable for opening and closing the air outlet. The air guide electrical component is drivingly connected to the air guide door component.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the air guide door component can be driven by the air guide electrical component to open or close the air outlet, thereby providing an air outlet channel for the air conditioner.

[0020] Furthermore, the wind sweeping assembly also includes a wind sweeping component and a wind sweeping electrical component. The wind sweeping component is installed on the inner side of the cover body and opposite to the air outlet. The wind sweeping electrical component is drivingly connected to the wind sweeping component.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the wind sweeping component can sweep the air back and forth on the inner side of the air outlet under the drive of the wind sweeping electrical component, thereby realizing the control of the air outlet direction.

[0022] Furthermore, the cover body is provided with at least one rotating shaft on a side where the front seat is hinged, and the front seat is provided with a shaft hole for the rotating shaft to be inserted and rotated on a side where the front seat is hinged to the cover body.

[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, the shaft is inserted into the shaft hole, so that the cover body can be turned over with the axis of the shaft as the rotation center. The structure is simple and can better realize the hinge connection between the cover body and the front side seat.

[0024] Furthermore, the cover body is provided with at least one rotating arm on the side hinged to the front side seat, one end of the rotating arm is connected to the cover body, and the other end of the rotating arm is connected to the rotating shaft, and the front side seat is correspondingly provided with a groove for the rotating arm to extend into on the side hinged to the cover body.

[0025] By adopting the above technical solution, the rotating arm can make the cover body give way to the front side seat when it is flipped and unfolded, thereby increasing the flipping angle of the cover body and reducing the interference of the front side seat on the flipping of the cover body; when the cover body is flipped and folded, the rotating arm extends into the groove, and the groove can store and hide the rotating arm, thereby increasing the aesthetics of the air conditioner casing.

[0026] An air conditioner includes the air conditioner housing. The advantages of the air conditioner and the air conditioner housing are the same as those of the prior art, which will not be described in detail here. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0041] 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.

[0042] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that the terminology nouns in the various embodiments, such as "upper", "lower", "front", "back" and other words indicating orientation, are only for simplifying the description of the positional relationship based on the drawings in the specification, and do not mean that the components and devices referred to must be operated according to the specific orientations and defined operations and methods and structures in the specification, and such orientation nouns do not constitute a limitation on the present invention. The "inside" and "outside" mentioned in the embodiments refer to a cavity structure, such as a box, with the inside of the box being the inside and the outside of the box being the outside; wherein, the "inside wall" or "outside wall" of the structures such as the front seat 32, the cover body 4, and the panel 6 are all for the "inside" and "outside" of the air conditioner housing.

[0043] In addition, a coordinate system XYZ is provided in the drawings of the embodiments of the present invention, wherein the positive direction of the X-axis represents the front side, the negative direction of the X-axis represents the back side, the positive direction of the Y-axis represents the right side, the negative direction of the Y-axis represents the left side, the positive direction of the Z-axis represents the top, and the negative direction of the Z-axis represents the bottom.

[0044] The terms "first", "second", etc. in the specification and claims of the present invention and the above-mentioned drawings are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that the numbers used in this way can be interchanged where appropriate, so that the embodiments of the present invention described herein can be implemented in sequences other than those illustrated or described herein.

[0045] An embodiment of the present invention provides an air conditioner, referring to Figures 1 to 3 , including a shell, a base 1 and an internal component 2 installed on the base 1. The shell cover is arranged on the outside of the base 1 and the internal component 2, providing good protection and decoration for the base 1 and the internal component 2. Among them, the internal component 2 is mainly composed of air ducts, fan blades, water channels, evaporators and other components, which are the core components of the air conditioner, and the base 1 provides good support for the internal component 2.

[0046] The housing of the air conditioner includes a middle frame 3, a cover mechanism, a panel 6, a transmission mechanism 7, a decorative plate 8 and a filter 9.

[0047] Combination Figure 4 and Figure 5 , the rear side of the middle frame 3 is usually directly against the wall, so the middle frame 3 in the present application is directly composed of the top plate 31, the front side seat 32, the left side plate 33 and the right side plate 34, which can effectively reduce the material cost of the middle frame 3. Among them, when processing the middle frame 3, it can be made of plastic integral injection molding, or it can be integrally cast by metal materials such as aluminum, and its specific material can be adjusted according to the actual needs of the air conditioner. Among them, the front side seat 32 in this embodiment is illustrated by taking the arc panel structure as shown in the figure as an example. In addition, the front side seat 32 can also be replaced by a hollow non-plate structure such as a rectangular frame.

[0048] An air inlet 311 is provided on the top plate 31, and the filter 9 is installed on the top plate 31 in a drawer-type manner and covers the entire air inlet 311. As a result, the filter 9 can filter the gas entering the air conditioner, reduce dust and other foreign matter from entering the air conditioner and affecting the operation of the internal components 2, and the drawer-type filter 9 is convenient for quick disassembly and cleaning. In addition, the installation method of the filter 9 can also be fixed by fasteners such as bolts, snap-on connection, magnetic parts, etc., to meet the quick disassembly and cleaning function of the filter 9. The left side plate 33 and the right side plate 34 are two mirror structures, and their symmetry can increase the aesthetics of the middle frame 3. The top of the front side seat 32 is connected to the top plate 31, and the left and right sides of the front side seat 32 are respectively connected to the left side plate 33 and the right side plate 34, and the vertical length of the front side seat 32 is smaller than the vertical length of the left side plate 33, thereby forming a disassembly opening 35 of the middle frame 3 below the front side seat 32, and the base 1 and the internal components 2 are disassembled and assembled through the disassembly opening 35.

[0049] The cover mechanism includes a cover body 4 and a wind sweeping assembly 5. The cover body 4 is an arc-shaped plate, which has a better structural strength than other plate-like structures. The top of the cover body 4 is hinged to the bottom of the front side seat 32, so that the cover body 4 can be flipped upward to open (rotate counterclockwise with the XZ plane as the base) or flipped downward to close (rotate clockwise with the XZ plane as the base), wherein flipping open means that the cover body 4 is in an open state relative to the middle frame 3, and flipping closed means that the cover body 4 is in a closed state relative to the middle frame 3.

[0050] When the cover body 4 is flipped upward and opened relative to the front side seat 32, that is, when the cover body 4 is opened relative to the middle frame 3, the middle frame 3 makes way for the disassembly opening 35 below the front side seat 32 for the base 1 and the internal components 2 to be disassembled and assembled. When the cover body 4 is rotated and retracted downward relative to the front side seat 32, that is, when the cover body 4 is covered relative to the middle frame 3, the cover body 4 closes the disassembly opening 35, and at the same time, an opening 36 is formed at the bottom of the middle frame 3, and the decorative plate 8 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the base 1 to close the opening 36. Thus, the decorative plate 8, the middle frame 3 and the cover mechanism cooperate to form a relatively closed space, providing a good operating space for the internal components 2. The decorative plate 8 can avoid interference with the base 1 and the internal components 2 when they are disassembled and assembled by the fixed connection with the base 1, so as to facilitate the rapid disassembly and assembly of the air conditioner.

[0051] Combination Figure 6 The cover body 4 is provided with an air outlet 421, which is located on one side of the cover body 4 near the bottom. A positioning flange 422 is raised along the edge of the air outlet 421 on the inner side wall of the cover body 4. Due to the arc structure of the cover body 4, the raised heights on the left and right sides of the positioning flange 422 are greater than the raised heights on the upper and lower sides. The wind sweeping assembly 5 is installed on the cover body 4 and located at the air outlet 421. The wind sweeping assembly 5 includes an air guide door component 51, an air guide electrical component 52, a wind sweeping component 53 and a wind sweeping electrical component 54.

[0052] Since the air guide door component 51, the air sweeping component 53, the air guide electrical component 52 and the air sweeping electrical component 54 in the air sweeping assembly 5 are less dirty and do not require special cleaning, they are all arranged on the cover body 4 in this embodiment. When the air conditioner needs to be disassembled and cleaned, the cover body 4 is flipped open relative to the front side seat 32, and the air sweeping assembly 5 will be flipped synchronously, eliminating the need for disassembly and assembly and waterproofing of the air sweeping assembly 5. At this time, the disassembly and assembly port 35 is vacated, and the base 1 and the internal component 2 are removed through the disassembly and assembly port 35 for cleaning, and the decorative panel 8 is removed together with the base 1, thereby effectively reducing the difficulty of disassembly and cleaning of the air conditioner and achieving the purpose of less disassembly and convenient disassembly and cleaning of the air conditioner.

[0053] The air guide door component 51 includes a large air guide door 511 and a small air guide door 512. The large air guide door 511 is installed on the outside of the cover body 4, and its size is adapted to the size of the air outlet 421, and is used to close the air outlet 421. The small air guide door 512 is installed on the inside of the cover body 4 and is located between the large air guide door 511 and the wind sweeping component 53. A push rod 5121 is fixedly installed in the middle of the small air guide door 512. The small air guide door 512 is against the wind sweeping component 53 through the push rod 5121, providing a good guiding driving effect for the wind sweeping component 53.

[0054] The air guide electrical component 52 is drivingly connected to the air guide door component 51, and includes two first air guide motors 521 and a second air guide motor 522. In this embodiment, the first air guide motor 521 and the second air guide motor 522 in the air guide electrical component 52 are both stepper motors, which are easy to supply, have excellent driving effects, and can better realize the driving of corresponding components.

[0055] The two first air guide motors 521 are fixedly installed on the left and right sides of the positioning flange 422 by fasteners such as bolts. The motor shaft of each first air guide motor 521 passes through the positioning flange 422 and is connected to a push arm 523 at the air outlet 421. A rotating seat 5111 is protruded on the left and right sides of the inner wall of the large air guide door 511. The push arm 523 is C-shaped, one end of which is correspondingly clamped on the rotating seat 5111, and the other end is fixedly connected to the motor shaft of the first air guide motor 521. Thus, the first air guide motor 521 drives the push arm 523 to rotate, and the push arm 523 then drives the large air guide door 511 to flip up and down relative to the cover body 4 through the rotating seat 5111, so as to realize the opening or closing of the air outlet 421 and provide an air outlet channel for the air conditioner.

[0056] The second air guide motor 522 is fixedly installed on the right side of the positioning flange 422 by means of bolts or other fasteners, and the motor shaft of the second air guide motor 522 passes through the positioning flange 422 and is fixedly connected to one end of the small air guide door 512. Thus, the second air guide motor 522 directly drives the small air guide door 512 to flip up and down relative to the cover body 4, and then the push rod 5121 on the small air guide door 512 generates an upward or downward driving force on the wind sweeping component 53.

[0057] The wind sweeping component 53 is installed on the inner side of the cover body 4 and opposite to the air outlet 421, and includes a wind sweeping bracket 531 and a wind sweeping blade group 532 installed on the wind sweeping bracket 531. The cover body 4 is integrally connected to a support rod 423 in the middle of the inner side of the air outlet 421. The wind sweeping bracket 531 is supported by the support rod 423 and is located on the inner side of the air outlet 421. The wind sweeping blade group 532 is supported by the wind sweeping bracket 531 and opposite to the air outlet 421. The wind sweeping electrical component 54 is a stepping motor, which is fixedly installed on the lower side of the positioning flange 422 by fasteners such as bolts, and the motor shaft of the wind sweeping electrical component 54 is connected to the wind sweeping bracket 531 through a coupling. As a result, the wind sweeping electrical component 54 drives the wind sweeping bracket 531 to slide left and right, and then drives the wind sweeping blade group 532 to sweep the air back and forth on the inner side of the air outlet 421, so as to control the air outlet direction.

[0058] Combination Figure 7 , the cover body 4 is provided with at least one rotating shaft 411 on the side hinged to the front side seat 32, and the front side seat 32 is provided with a shaft hole 321 for the rotating shaft 411 to be inserted and rotated on the side hinged to the cover body 4. In this embodiment, the rotating shaft 411 is inserted into the shaft hole 321, so that the cover body 4 is flipped with the axis of the rotating shaft 411 as the rotation center. Its structure is simple and can better realize the hinge connection between the cover body 4 and the front side seat 32. In addition, in this embodiment, three rotating shafts 411 are arranged at intervals along the edge of the top of the cover body 4 (in the direction parallel to the Y axis), that is, they are respectively located on the left and right sides and the middle position of the cover body 4, and the opening position of the shaft hole 321 on the front side seat 32 is adapted to the rotating shaft 411, thereby making the cover body 4 more stable during the flipping process.

[0059] The cover body 4 is also provided with three rotating arms 412 on one side hinged with the front side seat 32, and each rotating arm 412 corresponds to a rotating shaft 411. One end of the rotating arm 412 is integrally connected with the cover body 4, and the other end of the rotating arm 412 is connected with the rotating shaft 411. The side of the front side seat 32 hinged with the cover body 4 is correspondingly provided with a groove 322 for the rotating arm 412 to rotate and extend into. During the flipping process of the cover body 4, the rotating arm 412 can make the cover body 4 produce a clearance for the middle frame 3 when the cover body 4 is flipped and unfolded, increase the flipping angle of the cover body 4, and effectively reduce the interference of the middle frame 3 on the flipping of the cover body 4. When the cover body 4 is flipped and folded, the rotating arm 412 is completely extended into the groove 322, and the groove 322 can store and hide the rotating arm 412, thereby effectively reducing the gap between the cover body 4 and the middle frame 3 when the cover body 4 is folded, and increasing the aesthetics of the air conditioner housing.

[0060] Combination Figure 8 and Fig. 9The panel 6 is covered on the outside of the front side seat 32, which can modify the front side of the middle frame 3 and increase the overall aesthetics of the air conditioner housing. The top of the panel 6 is hinged to the top of the front side seat 32, so that the panel 6 can be flipped and unfolded in the direction away from the front side seat 32 or flipped and folded in the direction close to the front side seat 32 relative to the front side seat 32. The bottom of the panel 6 extends downward to the middle of the outside of the cover body 4, thereby shielding the hinge of the cover body 4 and reducing foreign matter such as dust from the outside from entering the hinge between the two and affecting the flipping of the cover body 4. The cover body 4 includes an upper cover 41 and a lower cover 42 connected in sequence, the rotating shaft 411 is connected to the top of the upper cover 41 through a rotating arm 412, and the air outlet 421 is opened on the lower cover 42. When the cover body 4 is in the closed state, the outer wall of the upper cover 41 is coplanar with the outer wall of the front side seat 32, and the outer wall of the lower cover 42 is coplanar with the outer wall of the panel 6, thereby forming a step surface between the upper cover 41 and the lower cover 42, and the bottom of the panel 6 abuts against the step surface.

[0061] The panel 6 is provided with at least one swing arm 61 on one side hinged to the front side seat 32, and the front side seat 32 is provided with a positioning seat 323 for the swing arm 61 to be hinged on one side hinged to the panel 6. The swing arm 61 can make the panel 6 give way to the front side seat 32 when flipping and unfolding, increase the flipping angle of the panel 6, and reduce the interference of the front side seat 32 on the flipping of the panel 6. Since the weight of the panel 6 is lighter than that of the cover mechanism, in order to ensure that the panel 6 can be flipped smoothly, in this embodiment, two swing arms 61 are arranged at intervals along the edge of the top of the panel 6 (in the direction parallel to the Y axis), that is, they are respectively located on the left and right sides of the panel 6.

[0062] Among them, the swing arm 61 is integrally arranged on the inner side wall of the panel 6, and a through hole 324 suitable for the swing arm 61 to pass through and swing up and down is opened on the front side seat 32. The positioning seat 323 is in the shape of a plate, and its plate surface is parallel to the XZ plane. The positioning seat 323 is integrally arranged on the inner side wall of the front side seat 32 and connected to the top plate 31, so that the positioning seat 323 is suspended on the top of the middle frame 3, and one end of the swing arm 61 passes through the through hole 324 and is hinged to one side of the positioning seat 323. Therefore, the swing arm 61 and the positioning seat 323 are both located on the inner side of the panel 6, and the panel 6 can shield the above structure, which can not only reduce the possibility of damage to the swing arm 61 and the positioning seat 323 due to external impact, but also reduce its impact on the appearance of the air conditioner.

[0063] The transmission mechanism 7 is arranged on the inner side of the front side seat 32, and the cover body 4 is respectively connected to the front side seat 32 and the panel 6 through the transmission mechanism 7, so as to realize the linkage between the cover body 4 and the panel 6. When the cover body 4 is opened, the cover body 4 flips upward relative to the front side seat 32, and at the same time drives the panel 6 to flip and unfold in the direction away from the front side seat 32, so as to make room for the cover body 4 to flip, and then the cover body 4 can be further flipped and opened. When the cover body 4 is closed, the cover body 4 flips downward relative to the front side seat 32, closes the disassembly and assembly space of the internal component 2, and at the same time drives the mask to flip and fold in the direction close to the front side seat 32.

[0064] Therefore, when the bottom of the panel 6 extends downward to the outside of the cover body 4, the panel 6 can reduce the interference with the flipping of the cover body 4 because it can flip synchronously with the cover body 4, so that the cover body 4 can leave sufficient disassembly and assembly space, thereby achieving the purpose of lowering the dividing line between the cover body 4 and the panel 6, so that the width of the panel 6 can be increased, and at the same time it helps to reduce the fitting gap between the cover body 4 and the panel 6.

[0065] Combination Fig.10 and Fig.11 At least two groups of transmission mechanisms 7 are arranged at intervals along the edge of the bottom of the front side seat 32 (in the direction parallel to the Y axis) to increase the stability of the front side seat 32, the cover body 4 and the panel 6 during the transmission process. In this embodiment, two groups are specifically arranged, and each group of transmission mechanisms 7 includes a first support rod 71, a second support rod 72 and a third support rod 73. The two ends of the first support rod 71 are respectively hinged to the front side seat 32 and the third support rod 73, the two ends of the second support rod 72 are respectively hinged to the first support rod 71 and the cover body 4, and the end of the third support rod 73 away from the first support rod 71 is hinged to the panel 6.

[0066] Therefore, when the cover body 4 is opened, the cover body 4 flips upward relative to the front side seat 32, driving the second support rod 72 to move toward the outside of the front side seat 32. At this time, the second support rod 72 generates an outward pulling force on the first support rod 71, causing the first support rod 71 to rotate counterclockwise around the hinge point with the front side seat 32, and at the same time pushes the third support rod 73 to move toward the outside of the front side seat 32, thereby generating an outward thrust on the panel 6, realizing the linkage between the panel 6 and the cover body 4, that is, the cover body 4 rotates and the panel 6 is driven.

[0067] Two connecting rods 62 are arranged on the inner side wall of the panel 6, and each connecting rod 62 corresponds to a transmission mechanism 7. A through hole 413 suitable for the connecting rod 62 and the third support rod 73 to pass through is provided on the upper cover plate 41 of the cover plate body 4. One end of the connecting rod 62 is fixedly connected to the panel 6, and the other end of the connecting rod 62 passes through the through hole 413 and is hinged to the third support rod 73. The third support rod 73 is hinged to the panel 6 through the connecting rod 62. Thus, the connecting rod 62 and the third support rod 73 are both located on the inner side of the panel 6, and the panel 6 can shield the connecting rod 62 and the transmission mechanism 7, reducing the influence of the above-mentioned structural setting on the appearance of the air conditioner; when the cover plate body 4 is turned over, the third support rod 73 and the connecting rod 62 can be retracted and retracted back and forth in the through hole 413, which can not only better realize the follow-up of the panel 6, but also help to increase the linkage stability between the panel 6 and the cover plate body 4.

[0068] Combination Fig.12 Each transmission mechanism 7 also includes a first transmission shaft 74 , a second transmission shaft 75 , a third transmission shaft 76 , a fourth transmission shaft 77 and a fifth transmission shaft 78 .

[0069] A first mounting seat 325 corresponding to the transmission mechanism 7 is integrally provided on the inner side wall of the front side seat 32, the first transmission shaft 74 is fixed on the first mounting seat 325 of the front side seat 32, and one end of the first support rod 71 is provided with a first clamping mouth 711 suitable for clamping on the first transmission shaft 74. When the first clamping mouth 711 is clamped on the first transmission shaft 74, the first support rod 71 can rotate with the first transmission shaft 74 as the rotation center, so that the first support rod 71 and the front side seat 32 are hinged.

[0070] The second transmission shaft 75 is integrally connected to one side of the first support rod 71, and a rotation shaft groove 414 is provided on the upper cover plate 41, and the third transmission shaft 76 is installed in the rotation shaft groove 414. The second support rod 72 is provided with a second clamping mouth 721 suitable for clamping on the second transmission shaft 75 and a third clamping mouth 722 suitable for clamping on the third transmission shaft 76, and the second clamping mouth 721 and the third clamping mouth 722 are respectively located at two ends of the second support rod 72. When the second clamping mouth 721 is clamped on the second transmission shaft 75 and the third clamping mouth 722 is clamped on the third transmission shaft 76, the two ends of the second support rod 72 can rotate with the second transmission shaft 75 and the third transmission shaft 76 as the rotation center, respectively, to realize the hinge connection between the second support rod 72 and the first support rod 71 and the cover plate body 4.

[0071] A second mounting groove 712 is formed at one end of the first support rod 71 away from the first clamping nozzle 711, and the fourth transmission shaft 77 is installed in the second mounting groove 712. A fourth clamping nozzle 731 suitable for clamping on the fourth transmission shaft 77 is formed at one end of the third support rod 73. When the fourth clamping nozzle 731 is clamped on the fourth transmission shaft 77, the first support rod 71 and the third support rod 73 can both rotate with the fourth transmission shaft 77 as the rotation center, so that the first support rod 71 and the third support rod 73 are hinged.

[0072] A third mounting groove 732 is formed at one end of the third support rod 73 away from the fourth clamping nozzle 731, and the fifth transmission shaft 78 is installed in the third mounting groove 732. A fifth clamping nozzle 621 suitable for clamping on the fifth transmission shaft 78 is formed on the connecting rod 62. When the fifth clamping nozzle 621 is clamped on the fifth transmission shaft 78, the third support rod 73 can rotate with the fifth transmission shaft 78 as the rotation center, so that the third support rod 73 and the panel 6 are hinged.

[0073] In this embodiment, the hinge points between the transmission mechanism 7 and the front seat 32, the cover body 4 and the panel 6 are connected by the clamping nozzle on the transmission shaft. Compared with other connection structures, it has the characteristics of rapid disassembly and assembly, thereby effectively improving the disassembly and assembly efficiency of the transmission mechanism 7. In addition, the axial directions of the first transmission shaft 74, the second transmission shaft 75, the third transmission shaft 76, the fourth transmission shaft 77 and the fifth transmission shaft 78 are parallel to the Y axis direction, so that the first support rod 71, the second support rod 72 and the third support rod 73 in the transmission mechanism 7 are all rotated on the surface parallel to the XZ plane, making the transmission of the transmission mechanism 7 more stable. The cross-sections (surfaces parallel to the XZ plane) of the first clamping nozzle 711, the second clamping nozzle 721, the third clamping nozzle 722, the fourth clamping nozzle 731 and the fifth clamping nozzle 621 are C-shaped, which facilitates the rapid clamping and limiting of the clamping nozzle and the transmission shaft.
