DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] 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.

[0025] First embodiment

[0026] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The embodiment of the present invention provides an air duct assembly 100 for realizing the air outlet function. The air duct assembly 100 can simplify the disassembly and assembly process while ensuring reliable connection, reduce the difficulty of operation, and facilitate disassembly and cleaning.

[0027] It should be noted that the air duct assembly 100 is applied to an air conditioner mounted on a wall, and the air duct assembly 100 can blow air outward to adjust the indoor temperature. The user can conveniently and quickly disassemble and clean the air duct assembly 100 to ensure that the air duct is clean, improve the user's comfort, and protect the user's health. Furthermore, after the air duct assembly 100 is installed, the connection is stable and reliable, and there will be no accidental detachment, which is highly safe.

[0028] The air duct assembly 100 includes a first air duct housing 110, a second air duct housing 120, a locking member 130, a connecting rod 140 and a drain pipe joint 150. The locking member 130 is movably connected to the first air duct housing 110 or the second air duct housing 120, and the locking member 130 can move relative to the first air duct housing 110 or the second air duct housing 120. The first air duct housing 110 and the second air duct housing 120 are combined to form an air duct, and the outlet air flow can be blown outward through the air duct to regulate the indoor temperature. The first air duct housing 110 is provided with a spring buckle 111, and the second air duct housing 120 is provided with a buckle 121. The spring buckle 111 is engaged with the buckle 121 to fix the relative position of the first air duct housing 110 and the second air duct housing 120 to prevent the first air duct housing 110 and the second air duct housing 120 from relative displacement. The locking member 130 can abut against the spring buckle 111 to limit the relative position of the spring buckle 111 and the buckle 121, thereby preventing the spring buckle 111 from deforming and detaching from the buckle 121 in an accidental situation, and further fixing the relative position of the first air duct housing 110 and the second air duct housing 120.

[0029] It is worth noting that the first air duct housing 110 is provided with a water outlet pipe 112, which is used to discharge condensed water generated by the air conditioner. The drain pipe joint 150 is sleeved outside the water outlet pipe 112 and is detachably matched with the water outlet pipe 112 to facilitate the installation and removal of the drain pipe joint 150 and the water outlet pipe 112. The drain pipe joint 150 is used to connect with a drain pipe (not shown), and the condensed water in the water outlet pipe 112 can be discharged outward through the drain pipe joint 150 and the drain pipe in turn to realize the drainage function of the air conditioner. The locking member 130 is movably connected to the drain pipe joint 150 through the connecting rod 140. The locking member 130 can drive the drain pipe joint 150 to detach from the water outlet pipe 112 when the drain pipe joint 150 and the water outlet pipe 112 are released, so as to realize the rapid disassembly of the drain pipe joint 150 and the water outlet pipe 112. At the same time, the locking member 130 is separated from the spring buckle 111 to release the limiting effect on the spring buckle 111, so that the spring buckle 111 can be disassembled from the buckle 121, thereby realizing the disassembly function of the first air duct shell 110 and the second air duct shell 120.

[0030] In this embodiment, the locking member 130 is movably connected to the second air duct housing 120, and the locking member 130 can move relative to the second air duct housing 120 to achieve abutment or separation with the snap button 111. However, this is not limited to this. In other embodiments, the locking member 130 is movably connected to the first air duct housing 110, and the locking member 130 can move relative to the first air duct housing 110, and can also achieve abutment or separation with the snap button 111. The connection position of the locking member 130 is not specifically limited.

[0031] Specifically, when the drain pipe connector 150 is released from the water outlet pipe 112, the locking member 130 can move relative to the second air duct housing 120, so as to drive the drain pipe connector 150 to move relative to the water outlet pipe 112 through the connecting rod 140, so that the drain pipe connector 150 is removed from the water outlet pipe 112. At the same time, the locking member 130 is separated from the spring buckle 111, and the locking member 130 no longer has a resisting and limiting effect on the spring buckle 111, that is, the locking member 130 no longer limits the relative position of the spring buckle 111 and the buckle 121, and at this time, the spring buckle 111 can be deformed and separated from the buckle 121, so as to realize the disassembly function of the first air duct housing 110 and the second air duct housing 120.

[0032] Please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5The snap button 111 includes a first elastic portion 113 and a second elastic portion 114 arranged at intervals. The first elastic portion 113 and the second elastic portion 114 are both snapped with the buckle 121 to achieve a detachable connection between the first air duct housing 110 and the second air duct housing 120. A locking cavity 115 is formed between the first elastic portion 113 and the second elastic portion 114. The locking member 130 can be inserted into the locking cavity 115 and abut against the first elastic portion 113 and the second elastic portion 114 respectively, so that the first elastic portion 113 and the second elastic portion 114 have no deformation space, thereby limiting the relative positions of the first elastic portion 113 and the second elastic portion 114 and the buckle 121, thereby preventing the first elastic portion 113 and the second elastic portion 114 from being deformed and detached from the buckle 121 in an unexpected situation.

[0033] The buckle 121 includes a first buckle body 122 and a second buckle body 123 which are arranged at intervals. The first buckle body 122 and the second buckle body 123 are arranged opposite to each other, and a clamping cavity 124 is formed between the first buckle body 122 and the second buckle body 123. The first elastic portion 113 and the second elastic portion 114 can both extend into or out of the clamping cavity 124. Specifically, the first elastic portion 113 extends into the clamping cavity 124 and is clamped with the first buckle body 122 to fix the relative position of the first air duct housing 110 and the second air duct housing 120. The second elastic portion 114 extends into the clamping cavity 124 and is clamped with the second buckle body 123 to further fix the relative position of the first air duct housing 110 and the second air duct housing 120.

[0034] In this embodiment, the first elastic portion 113 and the second elastic portion 114 are arranged opposite to each other, the first elastic portion 113 is provided with a first abutting surface 116, and the second elastic portion 114 is provided with a second abutting surface 117, and the first abutting surface 116 and the second abutting surface 117 are arranged in parallel and spaced apart. The side of the first elastic portion 113 away from the first abutting surface 116 is engaged with the first buckle body 122, and the side of the second elastic portion 114 away from the second abutting surface 117 is engaged with the second buckle body 123. The locking cavity 115 is arranged between the first abutting surface 116 and the second abutting surface 117, and the first abutting surface 116 and the second abutting surface 117 are both used to abut against the locking member 130. The locking member 130 can simultaneously apply abutting force to the first abutting surface 116 and the second abutting surface 117 to prevent the first elastic portion 113 and the second elastic portion 114 from deforming.

[0035] It should be noted that the spring buckle 111 is made of elastic material, the first elastic part 113 and the second elastic part 114 can both be deformed under the action of external force, and can both rebound and reset without the action of external force; the buckle 121 is made of rigid material, and the first buckle body 122 and the second buckle body 123 cannot be deformed. In this way, when the first elastic portion 113 is clamped with the first buckle body 122, the first buckle body 122 can apply a supporting force to the first elastic portion 113 to prevent the first elastic portion 113 from deforming in a direction close to the first buckle body 122, and the first buckle body 122 can also apply a holding force to the first elastic portion 113 to prevent the first elastic portion 113 from separating from the first buckle body 122, thereby preventing the first air duct shell 110 from moving in a direction away from the second air duct shell 120; similarly, when the second elastic portion 114 is clamped with the second buckle body 123, the second buckle body 123 can apply a supporting force to the second elastic portion 114 to prevent the second elastic portion 114 from deforming in a direction close to the second buckle body 123, and the second buckle body 123 can also apply a holding force to the second elastic portion 114 to prevent the second elastic portion 114 from separating from the second buckle body 123, thereby preventing the first air duct shell 110 from moving in a direction away from the second air duct shell 120.

[0036] Furthermore, when the locking member 130 is inserted into the locking cavity 115 and respectively abuts against the first abutting surface 116 and the second abutting surface 117, the locking member 130 can apply a holding force to the first elastic portion 113 to prevent the first elastic portion 113 from deforming in a direction away from the first buckle body 122. The first buckle body 122 and the locking member 130 work together to lock the position of the first elastic portion 113, so that the clamping connection between the first elastic portion 113 and the first buckle body 122 is stable and reliable, and will not accidentally fall off. The locking member 130 can also apply a holding force to the second elastic portion 114 to prevent the second elastic portion 114 from deforming in a direction away from the second buckle body 123. The second buckle body 123 and the locking member 130 work together to lock the position of the second elastic portion 114, so that the clamping connection between the second elastic portion 114 and the second buckle body 123 is stable and reliable, and will not accidentally fall off.

[0037] The locking member 130 includes an end cover 131, a locking portion 132 and a hinge 133. The end cover 131 is movably connected to the first air duct housing 110 or the second air duct housing 120, and is fixedly connected to the locking portion 132. The locking portion 132 is used to abut against the snap 111. The end cover 131 can drive the locking portion 132 to move relative to the first air duct housing 110 or the second air duct housing 120, so that the locking portion 132 is inserted into or removed from the locking cavity 115, thereby achieving the abutment or separation of the locking portion 132 and the snap 111. In this embodiment, the end cover 131 and the locking portion 132 are integrally formed to improve the connection strength.

[0038] It should be noted that the end cover 131 is hinged to the second air duct housing 120 through the hinge 133, and the end cover 131 can rotate relative to the second air duct housing 120 to drive the locking portion 132 to approach or move away from the snap 111, so that the locking portion 132 is inserted into or out of the locking cavity 115. Specifically, the hinge 133 is installed on the second air duct housing 120 and is rotatably connected to the end cover 131. The end cover 131 can rotate in a direction approaching or moving away from the first air duct housing 110 to drive the locking portion 132 to insert into or out of the locking cavity 115, so as to achieve the abutment or separation of the locking portion 132 and the snap 111.

[0039] In this embodiment, there are two hinges 133, and the two hinges 133 are arranged on the end cover 131 in parallel and at intervals. The end cover 131 is hinged to the second air duct shell 120 through the two hinges 133 at the same time to improve the stability of the rotation of the end cover 131 relative to the second air duct shell 120, thereby ensuring that the rotation process of the end cover 131 is stable and reliable.

[0040] It is worth noting that the number of buckles 121, spring buckles 111 and locking parts 132 are all multiple, and multiple spring buckles 111 are arranged at intervals on the first air duct housing 110, each spring buckle 111 is engaged with a buckle 121, and each locking part 132 can be abutted against a spring buckle 111, and multiple locking parts 132 can simultaneously limit multiple spring buckles 111 to limit the relative positions of multiple spring buckles 111 and multiple buckles 121, thereby further fixing the relative positions of the first air duct housing 110 and the second air duct housing 120. In this embodiment, the number of buckles 121, spring buckles 111 and locking parts 132 is two, but it is not limited to this. In other embodiments, the number of buckles 121, spring buckles 111 and locking parts 132 can all be one, or three, and the number of buckles 121, spring buckles 111 and locking parts 132 is not specifically limited.

[0041] Please refer to Figure 6 In this embodiment, the locking portion 132 is adjacently provided with a guide sliding inclined surface 134 and a stop surface 135. The guide sliding inclined surface 134 can slide relative to the spring buckle 111, and the stop surface 135 is used to abut against the spring buckle 111. The guide sliding inclined surface 134 can reduce the friction resistance between the locking portion 132 and the first elastic portion 113 or the second elastic portion 114, so that the locking portion 132 can slide relative to the first elastic portion 113 or the second elastic portion 114 and be inserted into the locking cavity 115, saving effort. The stop surface 135 can abut against the first abutting surface 116 or the second abutting surface 117 after the locking portion 132 is inserted into the locking cavity 115, so as to prevent the first elastic portion 113 or the second elastic portion 114 from being deformed.

[0042] Specifically, there are two guide slopes 134 and two stop surfaces 135, and the two stop surfaces 135 are arranged oppositely on both sides of the locking portion 132. Each stop surface 135 is connected to one guide slope 134, and the two guide slopes 134 are arranged adjacent to each other. One guide slope 134 can reduce the friction resistance between the locking portion 132 and the first elastic portion 113, and the other guide slope 134 can reduce the friction resistance between the locking portion 132 and the second elastic portion 114. One stop surface 135 is used to abut against the first abutting surface 116, and the other stop surface 135 is used to abut against the second abutting surface 117.

[0043] Please continue to refer to Figure 2 It should be noted that the end cover 131 is hinged to the drain pipe joint 150 through the connecting rod 140, and the end cover 131 can drive the drain pipe joint 150 to be detached from the outlet pipe 112 when the drain pipe joint 150 and the outlet pipe 112 are released from each other. Specifically, when the drain pipe joint 150 and the outlet pipe 112 are released from each other, the end cover 131 can rotate relative to the second air duct housing 120 in a direction away from the first air duct housing 110, so as to drive the drain pipe joint 150 to be displaced relative to the outlet pipe 112 through the connecting rod 140, so that the drain pipe joint 150 is detached from the outlet pipe 112.

[0044] In this embodiment, one end of the connecting rod 140 is hinged to the end cover 131, and the other end is hinged to the drain pipe joint 150. One end of the connecting rod 140 can rotate relative to the end cover 131, and the other end can rotate relative to the drain pipe joint 150. The connecting rod 140 realizes the transmission function between the end cover 131 and the drain pipe joint 150 through two hinge points. Specifically, there are two connecting rods 140, and the two connecting rods 140 are relatively arranged on both sides of the drain pipe joint 150 and are parallel to each other. The end cover 131 can drive the drain pipe joint 150 to move through the two connecting rods 140 at the same time, so as to improve the stability of the transmission process and ensure that the drain pipe joint 150 can be smoothly removed from the outlet pipe 112.

[0045] It should be noted that during the disassembly of the air duct assembly 100, the end cover 131 is first rotated in a direction away from the first air duct shell 110, so that the end cover 131 drives the locking portion 132 to disengage from the locking cavity 115. At this time, the locking portion 132 is no longer abutted against the first elastic portion 113 and the second elastic portion 114. At the same time, the end cover 131 drives the drain pipe connector 150 to be removed from the outlet pipe 112 through the connecting rod 140; then, an external force is applied to the first elastic portion 113 and the second elastic portion 114 to deform and approach each other, so that the first elastic portion 113 is disengaged from the first buckle body 122, and the second elastic portion 114 is disengaged from the second buckle body 123; finally, the first air duct shell 110 is moved in a direction away from the second air duct shell 120, so that the first elastic portion 113 and the second elastic portion 114 are both disengaged from the holding cavity 124, and the first air duct shell 110 and the second air duct shell 120 are completely disassembled. The entire disassembly process is simple and convenient, with low operating difficulty, making it easy to disassemble and clean the air duct assembly 100.

[0046] In the air duct assembly 100 described in the embodiment of the present invention, the locking member 130 is movably connected to the first air duct housing 110 or the second air duct housing 120, the first air duct housing 110 is provided with a spring buckle 111, and the second air duct housing 120 is provided with a buckle 121, the spring buckle 111 is engaged with the buckle 121, and the locking member 130 can abut against the spring buckle 111 to limit the relative position of the spring buckle 111 and the buckle 121. Compared with the prior art, the air duct assembly 100 provided by the present invention adopts the locking member 130 movably connected to the first air duct housing 110 or the second air duct housing 120 and the spring buckle 111 engaged with the buckle 121, so it can simplify the disassembly and assembly process while ensuring reliable connection, reduce the difficulty of operation, and facilitate disassembly and cleaning.
