Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] In the prior art, the electronic control box of the air conditioner cabinet is installed inside the cabinet and is used to accommodate and install the electronic control components. The electronic control components are connected to the various components of the air conditioner to control each component to perform corresponding operations according to instructions. However, the existing electronic control box has a low assembly efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The present application aims to solve the problem of low assembly efficiency of the electronic control box inside the air conditioner cabinet in the related art.

[0004] To solve the above problems, the present application provides an air conditioner cabinet. The air conditioner cabinet provided by the embodiments of the present application is realized in the following manner:

[0005] The air conditioner cabinet includes a cabinet and an electronic control box disposed inside the cabinet. An air inlet is formed on the side wall of the cabinet, and the electronic control box is disposed above the air inlet. The electronic control box includes a box body and a box cover. The box body has an opening facing horizontally, and the box cover is disposed at the opening of the box body and can slide vertically relative to the box body to open or close the opening of the box body. By disposing the electronic control box above the air inlet and setting the box cover of the electronic control box to slide up and down, the box cover is not easily interfered by the side wall of the cabinet, which enables the assembler to quickly assemble the electronic control box and improves the assembly efficiency.

[0006] In an alternative embodiment, the cabinet includes a front enclosure and a rear enclosure. The air inlet is formed on the rear enclosure, and the electronic control box is disposed inside the rear enclosure. The opening of the box body faces the front enclosure. When assembling the air conditioner cabinet, the electronic control box can be installed on the rear enclosure first to avoid interference with the components on the front panel (such as the air guiding component, the display box, etc.). The opening of the electronic control box facing the front enclosure also makes it easy to maintain the electronic control components inside the electronic control box.

[0007] In an alternative embodiment, screw posts are convexly provided on the inner side of the cabinet, screw holes are provided on the screw posts, and mounting holes are provided on the box body. The box body is connected to the screw posts by screws. By providing screw posts on the inner side of the rear enclosure and passing the screws through the mounting holes in the box body and then mating with the screw holes, it can be ensured that even when the depth of the screw holes is relatively deep, they will not penetrate to the outer surface of the rear enclosure, the strength of the rear enclosure will not be damaged, and the appearance can also be beautified. The installation of the electronic control box is also relatively convenient. For some arc-shaped rear enclosures, by providing screw posts protruding into the cabinet on the inner side of the rear enclosure, the problem of difficult installation due to the mismatch between the outer shape of the electronic control box and the inner surface of the rear enclosure can also be avoided.

[0008] In an alternative embodiment, the box body includes a bottom plate and side plates. The side plates are disposed along the edges of the bottom plate. The bottom plate and the side plates together define a chamber for accommodating the electronic control components. One end of the side plate away from the bottom plate forms an opening of the box body. The box cover is slidably engaged with the side plate and is configured to slide towards the top of the cabinet to open the opening of the box body. By slidably mating the box cover with the side plate, the opening and closing of the electronic control box can be achieved by a pulling and pushing manner, and this structure is simple and stable. Since the electronic control box itself is disposed above the air inlet, that is, in the area close to the top of the cabinet, the box cover is configured to slide towards the top of the cabinet to open the opening of the box body. Such an opening manner is more convenient to operate compared to sliding the box cover towards the middle of the cabinet to open the box body.

[0009] In an alternative embodiment, the box cover includes a cover plate and side plates. The cover plate is slidably engaged with the side plate to close or open the opening of the box body. The side plates are disposed at one end of the cover plate close to the top of the cabinet and are configured to abut against the side plate to limit the downward sliding when the cover plate slides to close the opening of the box body. By providing the side plates, the sliding of the cover plate relative to the box body can be limited. When the cover plate slides to close the box body, the side plates can abut against the side plate to prevent further sliding.

[0010] In an alternative embodiment, locking holes are provided on the side plates. The side plates are connected to the side plates of the box body by screws passing through the locking holes, thereby locking the box cover at the position of closing the opening of the box body. By providing locking holes on the side plates, the box cover of the electronic control box can be locked at the position of closing the opening of the box body, avoiding the box cover falling off during use.

[0011] In an alternative embodiment, the bottom plate is rectangular. The side plates include a first side plate and a second side plate. The first side plate and the second side plate are respectively disposed on two opposite side edges of the bottom plate in the horizontal direction. Chutes extending in the vertical direction are respectively provided on the first side plate and the second side plate. Sliding strips are provided at the edges of the cover plate, and the sliding strips are embedded in the chutes. Since the bottom plate is rectangular, the entire electronic control box is generally in the shape of a cuboid, with the first side plate and the second side plate on two opposite sides in the horizontal direction. By providing chutes on the first side plate and the second side plate and sliding strips on the cover plate, the movement direction of the box cover relative to the box body can be limited to the vertical direction, and stable sliding engagement between the box cover and the box body can be achieved.

[0012] In an alternative embodiment, the edges of the cover plate are bent inwards to form sliding strips. Since the edges of the cover plate are bent inwards to form sliding strips, they can be obtained by sheet metal processing, and the processing is simple. The cover plate and the sliding strips have good integrity and stability.

[0013] In an alternative embodiment, mounting holes are provided on the bottom plate of the box body. The bottom plate is connected to the cabinet by screws. By providing mounting holes on the bottom plate, the screws can be driven from the inside of the box body and connected to the inner wall of the cabinet.

[0014] In an alternative embodiment, a finger groove is provided on the box cover and recessed into the electric control box. By providing the finger groove, an operator can insert a finger into the finger groove when pushing or pulling the box cover, which facilitates opening or closing the box cover.

Detailed Embodiment

[0020] In the related art, the electric control box of an air conditioner cabinet is often arranged at the bottom of the cabinet. The electric control box is fixed in the cabinet by bolts, and the box body and the box cover of the electric control box are also fixedly connected by fasteners such as bolts. When assembling the electric control box, the assembly efficiency of the box cover of the electric control box is relatively low; when maintaining the electric control components in the electric control box subsequently, it is also relatively troublesome to open the electric control box. If the box cover is set to be opened in a sliding manner, whether it is arranged at the bottom of the cabinet or the box cover is set to slide horizontally, it is easy to cause interference of other parts of the air conditioner cabinet to the box cover. Therefore, the assembly and maintenance of the electric control box of the existing air conditioner cabinet are troublesome.

[0021] Therefore, the embodiment of the present application provides an air conditioner to improve the problems of low assembly efficiency and inconvenient maintenance of the electric control box of the air conditioner cabinet in the current technology.

[0022] To make the above objects, features, and advantages of the present application more obvious and understandable, the following detailed description of the specific embodiments of the present application will be given with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0023] Figure 1 is an overall schematic diagram of the air conditioner cabinet 010 in an embodiment of the present application; Figure 2This is an assembly schematic diagram of the rear panel 120 and the electric control box 200 (closed) in the embodiment of the present application; Figure 3 This is an assembly schematic diagram of the rear panel 120 and the electric control box 200 (opened) in the embodiment of the present application. Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 , the air conditioner cabinet 010 provided in the embodiment of the present application includes a cabinet 100 and an electric control box 200 disposed inside the cabinet 100. An air inlet 122 and an air outlet 112 are formed on the side wall of the cabinet 100. The air inlet 122 is located at the rear side of the cabinet 100, and the air outlet 112 is located at the front side of the cabinet 100. The electric control box 200 is disposed above the air inlet 122, that is, at a position close to the top of the cabinet 100. In this embodiment, the cabinet 100 is integrally cylindrical. In other alternative embodiments, the cabinet 100 may also be a cuboid. It should be noted that Figure 2 and Figure 3 The schematic diagram shows the rear panel 120 after being laid down, and its lower left end corresponds to the top end of the cabinet 100.

[0024] The electric control box 200 includes a box body 210 and a box cover 220. The box body 210 has an opening facing horizontally. The box cover 220 is disposed at the opening of the box body 210 and can slide in the vertical direction relative to the box body 210 to open or close the opening of the box body 210. The electric control box 200 is used to accommodate the electric control components of the air conditioner (not shown in the figure). Since the air conditioner cabinet 010 in this embodiment is provided with the electric control box 200 above the air inlet 122 and the box cover 220 of the electric control box 200 is arranged to slide up and down, the box cover 220 is not easily interfered by the side wall of the cabinet 100, which can facilitate the assembler to quickly assemble the electric control box 200 and improve the assembly efficiency. Since it is disposed at a position close to the top end of the cabinet 100, it is also convenient for later maintenance of the electric control box 200 and its internal components.

[0025] In this embodiment, the cabinet 100 includes a front panel 110 and a rear panel 120. The air inlet 122 is disposed on the rear panel 120, and the air outlet 112 is disposed on the front panel 110. The electric control box 200 is disposed inside the rear panel 120, and the opening of the box body 210 faces the front panel 110. When assembling the air conditioner cabinet 010, the electric control box 200 can be installed on the rear panel 120 first to avoid interference with the components on the front panel (such as the air guiding component, the display box, etc.). The opening of the electric control box 200 facing the front panel 110 also makes it easy to maintain the electric control components inside the electric control box 200. Of course, in other embodiments of the present application, the electric control box 200 may also be disposed inside the front panel, above the air outlet 112.

[0026] Figure 4 is Figure 3 the enlarged view of the partial IV in. Please refer to Figures 2 to 4, in this embodiment, a screw post 124 protrudes from the inner side of the rear panel 120. A screw hole is provided on the screw post 124. The box body 210 is provided with a mounting hole 212. The box body 210 is connected to the screw post 124 by screws. By providing the screw post 124 on the inner side of the rear panel 120 and allowing the screw to pass through the mounting hole 212 in the box body 210 and then cooperate with the screw hole, even when the depth of the screw hole is relatively deep, it will not penetrate to the outer surface of the rear panel 120, will not damage the strength of the rear panel 120, and can also beautify the appearance. The installation of the electric control box 200 is also relatively convenient. In this embodiment, since the rear panel 120 is an arc-shaped plate, by providing the screw post 124 protruding into the cabinet 100 on the inner side of the rear panel 120, the problem that it is difficult to install due to the mismatch between the outer shape of the electric control box 200 and the inner surface of the rear panel 120 is also avoided. In this embodiment, the number of mounting holes 212 corresponds to the number of screw posts 124, preferably three or more.

[0027] Specifically in this embodiment, the box body 210 is a cuboid as a whole. The box body 210 includes a bottom plate 211 and side plates 213. The bottom plate 211 is rectangular. The side plates 213 are arranged along the edge of the bottom plate 211. The bottom plate 211 and the side plates 213 together enclose a chamber for accommodating the electric control components. One end of the side plate 213 away from the bottom plate 211 forms an opening of the box body 210. The box cover 220 is slidably matched with the side plate 213. The mounting hole 212 is provided on the bottom plate 211 of the box body 210. The bottom plate 211 is connected to the cabinet 100 by screws. By slidably matching the box cover 220 with the side plate 213, the opening and closing of the electric control box 200 can be realized by pulling. This structure is simple and stable. In this embodiment, the side plate 213 is perpendicular to the bottom plate 211.

[0028] In an alternative embodiment, the box cover 220 is configured to slide towards the top of the cabinet 100 to open the opening of the box body 210. Since the electric control box 200 itself is arranged above the air inlet 122, that is, in the area close to the top of the cabinet 100, setting the box cover 220 to slide towards the top of the cabinet 100 to open the opening of the box body 210 is more convenient to operate compared to sliding the box cover 220 towards the middle of the cabinet 100 to open the box body 210.

[0029] In this embodiment, the lid 220 includes a cover plate 221 and a side plate 223. The cover plate 221 is slidably engaged with the side plate 213 to close or open the opening of the box body 210. The side plate 223 is disposed at one end of the cover plate 221 near the top of the cabinet 100. The side plate 223 is configured to abut against the side plate 213 to limit the downward sliding when the cover plate 221 slides to close the opening of the box body 210. By providing the side plate 223, the sliding of the cover plate 221 relative to the box body 210 can be limited. When the cover plate 221 slides to close the box body 210, the side plate 223 can abut against the side plate 213 to prevent further sliding. Optionally, a locking hole 224 is provided on the side plate 223. The side plate 223 is connected to the side plate 213 of the box body 210 by a screw passing through the locking hole 224, thereby locking the lid 220 at the position of closing the opening of the box body 210. In this embodiment, the shape of the cover plate 221 is the same as that of the bottom plate 211, both being rectangular, and can completely block the opening of the box body 210 formed by the side plates 213. The side plate 223 is disposed on the side of the cover plate 221 near the top of the cabinet 100 and is perpendicular to the cover plate 221. A screw hole is provided on the side plate 213 near the top end of the cabinet 100, so that when the lid 220 slides to the position of closing the opening of the box body 210, the side plate 223 can be attached to the outside of the side plate 213, so that the side plate 223 and the side plate 213 can be connected by screws. By providing the side plate 223 and the locking hole 224, the lid 220 of the electric control box 200 can be locked at the position of closing the opening of the box body 210, avoiding the lid 220 falling off during use.

[0030] In this embodiment, the side plate 213 includes a first side plate 214 and a second side plate 215. The first side plate 214 and the second side plate 215 are respectively disposed at two opposite side edges of the bottom plate 211 in the horizontal direction. Slide grooves 216 extending in the vertical direction are respectively provided on the first side plate 214 and the second side plate 215. A slide bar (not shown in the figure) is provided at the edge of the cover plate 221, and the slide bar is embedded in the slide groove 216. By providing the slide grooves 216 on the first side plate 214 and the second side plate 215 and the slide bar on the cover plate 221, the movement direction of the lid 220 relative to the box body 210 can be limited to the vertical direction, and stable sliding engagement between the lid 220 and the box body 210 can be achieved.

[0031] In this embodiment, the chute 216 on the first side plate 214 is formed by folding the end of the first side plate 214 away from the bottom plate 211 outward. A chute 216 is formed between the folded part of the first side plate 214 and the outer surface of the main body part of the first side plate 214. The chute 216 on the second side plate 215 is formed in the same way. Correspondingly, the edge of the cover plate 221 is bent inward to form a slide bar. Since both the chute 216 and the slide bar are formed by bending, the box cover 220 and the box body 210 can be obtained by sheet metal processing, and the processing is simple. The box cover 220 and the box body 210 are integrally formed, so they have good integrity and stability. Of course, in other alternative embodiments, the chute 216 can also be formed by grooving, and the positions of the chute 216 and the slide bar can be exchanged.

[0032] Optionally, a handle groove 222 recessed into the electric control box 200 is further provided on the box cover 220. By providing the handle groove 222, an operator can insert a finger into the handle groove 222 when pushing or pulling the box cover 220, which is convenient for opening or closing the box cover 220. In this embodiment, the handle groove 222 is provided on the cover plate 221, and its extending direction is perpendicular to the sliding direction of the box cover 220.

[0033] In summary, the air conditioner cabinet 010 provided by the embodiment of the present application includes a cabinet 100 and an electric control box 200 disposed in the cabinet 100. An air inlet 122 is formed on the side wall of the cabinet 100, and the electric control box 200 is disposed above the air inlet 122; the electric control box 200 includes a box body 210 and a box cover 220. The box body 210 has an opening facing horizontally, and the box cover 220 is disposed at the opening of the box body 210 and can slide vertically relative to the box body 210 to open or close the opening of the box body 210. By disposing the electric control box 200 above the air inlet 122 and setting the box cover 220 of the electric control box 200 to slide up and down, the box cover 220 is not easily interfered by the side wall of the cabinet 100, which can facilitate assemblers to quickly assemble the electric control box 200 and improve the assembly efficiency.
