Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] With the development of economy, the use of air conditioners is becoming more and more widespread. For split air conditioners with cabinet indoor units, if the cabinet air conditioner is not cleaned for a long time, bacteria will easily breed inside the body due to moisture, dust accumulation and other reasons, which will have an adverse effect on the health of users.

[0003] However, the current cleaning of air conditioner cabinets is limited to surface cleaning, and it is impossible to perform deep cleaning on the inside of the cabinet. If you want to perform deep cleaning on the inside of the cabinet, you must disassemble the air conditioner cabinet. However, since the motor installed in the air duct is strong, when disassembling the cabinet, it is easy to cause safety hazards due to unreliable power off of the motor. Summary of the invention

[0004] The first object of the present invention is to provide an air conditioning cabinet to solve the technical problem that when the existing air conditioning cabinet is disassembled, it is easy to have a safety hazard due to unreliable power off of the motor.

[0005] The air conditioning cabinet provided by the present invention includes an air duct assembly, a display box assembly and a connecting terminal, wherein the display box assembly and the air duct assembly can be relatively separated, and the connecting terminal is configured to electrically connect the motor of the air duct assembly with the display box of the display box assembly; the connecting terminal includes a male end and a female end, one of the male end and the female end is installed on the motor housing of the motor and electrically connected to the circuit board of the motor, and the other is installed on the display box assembly; when the display box assembly and the air duct assembly are relatively separated, the male end is disconnected from the female end; when the display box assembly and the air duct assembly are combined with each other, the male end cooperates with the female end.

[0006] When it is necessary to perform a deep cleaning on the inside of the air-conditioning cabinet, the display box assembly can be removed from the air duct assembly. During the process of removing the display box assembly from the air duct assembly, the display box assembly and the air duct assembly will be in a relatively separated state. At this time, the male end and the female end of the connecting terminal are disconnected, and the motor of the air duct assembly is powered off. The operator can then clean and maintain the display box assembly and the air duct assembly. After the cleaning operation is completed, the display box assembly can be installed back to the air duct assembly along a path opposite to the above-mentioned disassembly path, so that the display box assembly and the air duct assembly are in a mutually combined state. At this time, the male end and the female end of the connecting terminal cooperate, and the motor of the air duct assembly resumes power supply.

[0007] The arrangement of this air-conditioning cabinet allows the motor of the duct assembly to automatically cut off power when the display box assembly is disassembled. This not only ensures reliable power off, but also improves the safety hazard problem in the prior art caused by unreliable motor power off. Moreover, there is no need for the operator to manually remove the connecting terminals of the motor, which has high power off efficiency and avoids the situation where static electricity is generated at the connecting terminals due to human hand contact, thereby affecting the service life of the connecting terminals.

[0008] In addition, the structural form in which the male or female end of the connecting terminal is arranged on the motor housing and electrically connected to the circuit board of the motor, on the one hand, does not need to set additional components for installing the male or female end on the air duct assembly, which saves the number of components, improves assembly efficiency, and reduces space occupancy. On the other hand, it can also make the circuit board of the motor directly electrically connected to the male or female end without setting the motor wire, which not only avoids the entanglement and knotting of the motor wire, but also saves the tedious steps of wiring. In addition, since there is no need to set the motor wire, the power outage at the connection position is also reduced, thereby ensuring the reliability of the electrical connection between the display box and the motor.

[0009] Furthermore, the male end is mounted on the motor housing, the female end is mounted on the display box assembly, and the female end is electrically connected to the display box.

[0010] Furthermore, the side wall of the motor housing extends outward to form a first mounting seat, the first mounting seat is provided with a receiving groove, and the male end is installed in the receiving groove. Such a configuration plays a certain protective role on the male end and reduces the damage caused by collision to the male end.

[0011] Furthermore, the male end is fixed to the first mounting seat by clamping. With such arrangement, the male end can be quickly removed and installed on the first mounting seat, which is convenient for removing the male end for maintenance and improves the maintenance efficiency of the male end.

[0012] Furthermore, the first mounting seat includes a fixed wall fixed relative to the motor housing and an elastic wall spaced apart from the fixed wall, an elastic constriction is formed between the elastic wall and the fixed wall, and the elastic constriction is connected to the accommodating groove. This arrangement of the first mounting seat is not only simple in structure, but also convenient for installation and removal of the male end.

[0013] Furthermore, the side wall of the display box extends outward to form a second mounting seat, and the female end is mounted on the second mounting seat. This arrangement can reduce the space occupied by the display box assembly in the vertical direction, thereby reducing the height size of the air conditioner cabinet.

[0014] Furthermore, the second mounting seat is provided with a mounting hole extending in the vertical direction, a limiting portion is provided on the hole wall of the mounting hole, the female end is clamped in the mounting hole, and the limiting portion is configured to prevent the female end from being separated from the mounting hole from below the mounting hole. With such a configuration, the female end can be quickly removed and installed on the second mounting seat, which is convenient for removing the female end for maintenance and improving the maintenance efficiency of the female end.

[0015] Furthermore, the male end can be plugged with the female end. This arrangement makes the male end and the female end more tightly wrapped, and during the operation of the air conditioner cabinet, the male end and the female end will not be separated due to misalignment, thereby ensuring the connection reliability of the connection terminal.

[0016] Furthermore, the male end can be magnetically matched with the female end. With such arrangement, when the display box assembly is disassembled, the male end and the female end can be efficiently separated, thereby improving the disassembly and assembly efficiency of the display box assembly.

[0017] The second object of the present invention is to provide an air conditioner to solve the technical problem that when the existing air conditioner cabinet is disassembled, it is easy to have a safety hazard due to unreliable power off of the motor.

[0018] The air conditioner provided by the present invention comprises an air conditioner outdoor unit and the above-mentioned air conditioner cabinet unit.

[0019] By setting the above-mentioned air conditioning cabinet in the air conditioner, the air conditioner accordingly has all the advantages of the above-mentioned air conditioning cabinet, which will not be described one by one here. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0031] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the specific embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention.

[0032] Figure 1 The schematic diagram of the structure of the air conditioning cabinet provided in this embodiment is as follows: Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the display box assembly 200 and the air duct assembly 100 of the air conditioning cabinet provided in this embodiment when they are in a relatively separated state. Figure 3 The structure diagram of the display box assembly 200 and the air duct assembly 100 of the air conditioner cabinet provided in this embodiment when they are in a state of being combined with each other. Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this embodiment provides an air-conditioning cabinet, including an air duct assembly 100, a display box assembly 200 and a connecting terminal 600, wherein the display box assembly 200 and the air duct assembly 100 can be relatively separately arranged, and the connecting terminal 600 is configured to electrically connect the motor 110 of the air duct assembly 100 with the display box 210 of the display box assembly 200.

[0033] Please continue to refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3Specifically, the connection terminal 600 includes a male end 610 and a female end 620. The male end 610 is mounted on the motor housing 111 of the motor 110 and is electrically connected to the circuit board of the motor 110. The female end 620 is mounted on the display box assembly 200 and is electrically connected to the display box 210. When the display box assembly 200 and the air duct assembly 100 are relatively separated, the male end 610 is disconnected from the female end 620. When the display box assembly 200 and the air duct assembly 100 are combined with each other, the male end 610 is matched with the female end 620. The circuit board of the motor 110 is connected to the stator of the motor 110.

[0034] When it is necessary to perform deep cleaning on the interior of the air-conditioning cabinet, the display box assembly 200 can be removed from the duct assembly 100. During the process of removing the display box assembly 200 from the duct assembly 100, the display box assembly 200 and the duct assembly 100 will be in a relatively separated state. At this time, the male end 610 of the connecting terminal 600 is disconnected from the female end 620, and the motor 110 of the duct assembly 100 is powered off. The operator can then clean and maintain the display box assembly 200 and the duct assembly 100. After the cleaning operation is completed, the display box assembly 200 can be installed back to the duct assembly along a path opposite to the above-mentioned disassembly path, so that the display box assembly 200 and the duct assembly 100 are in a mutually combined state. At this time, the male end 610 of the connecting terminal 600 cooperates with the female end 620, and the motor 110 of the duct assembly 100 resumes power supply.

[0035] This arrangement of the air conditioning cabinet allows the motor 110 of the duct assembly 100 to automatically cut off power when the display box assembly 200 is disassembled. This not only ensures reliable power-off, but also improves the safety hazard caused by unreliable power-off of the motor 110 in the prior art. In addition, there is no need for the operator to manually remove the connecting terminal 600 of the motor 110, which has high power-off efficiency and avoids the situation in which static electricity is generated at the connecting terminal 600 due to human hand contact, thereby affecting the service life of the connecting terminal 600.

[0036] In addition, the structural form in which the male end 610 or the female end 620 of the connecting terminal 600 is arranged on the motor housing 111 and electrically connected to the circuit board of the motor 110, on the one hand, does not need to additionally set up components for installing the male end 610 or the female end 620 on the air duct assembly 100, thereby saving the number of components, improving assembly efficiency, and reducing space occupancy. On the other hand, it can also enable the circuit board of the motor 110 to be directly electrically connected to the male end 610 or the female end 620 without setting up the motor wire, which not only avoids the entanglement and knotting of the motor wire, but also saves the tedious steps of wiring. In addition, since there is no need to set up the motor wire, the power outage at the connection position is also reduced, thereby ensuring the reliability of the electrical connection between the display box 210 and the motor 110.

[0037] Please continue to refer to Figure 1 In this embodiment, the air-conditioning cabinet may further include a front panel assembly 300, a rear panel assembly 400 and a top cover assembly 500. Specifically, the rear panel assembly 400 is opposite to the front panel assembly 300 and is spaced apart, forming an installation space therebetween, and the air duct assembly 100 is located in the installation space; the top cover assembly 500 is located at the top of the air-conditioning cabinet, and the electric control box of the air-conditioning cabinet is arranged on the top cover assembly 500, and the display box 210 is electrically connected to the electric control box, so that the motor 110 can be controlled by the electric control box.

[0038] It should be noted that the functions, structures and corresponding connection relationships of the front panel assembly 300, the rear panel assembly 400 and the top cover assembly 500 are all existing technologies well known to those skilled in the art, and this embodiment does not make any improvements thereon, so they will not be described in detail.

[0039] In other embodiments, the male end 610 may be installed on the display box assembly 200 and the female end 620 may be installed on the air duct assembly 100 . In this case, the male end 610 is electrically connected to the display box 210 , and the female end 620 is electrically connected to the circuit board of the motor 110 .

[0040] Please continue to refer to Figures 1 to 3 In this embodiment, the disassembly direction of the display box assembly 200 is along the up-down direction, and the male end 610 is opposite to the female end 620 along the disassembly direction of the display box assembly 200. With such a configuration, when the air conditioner cabinet is in use and the interior of the cabinet needs to be cleaned, the motor 110 can be powered off by simply pushing the display box assembly 200 upwards, which is convenient and quick. Moreover, the male end 610 and the female end 620 cooperate in the up-down direction, and the contact is reliable, which ensures the working reliability of the connection terminal 600.

[0041] Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the motor 110 of the air conditioning cabinet provided in this embodiment when the male end 610 is installed. Figure 2 and Figure 3 , and combined with Figure 4 In this embodiment, the side wall of the motor housing 111 extends outward to form a first mounting seat 112. The first mounting seat 112 is provided with a receiving groove, and the male end 610 is installed in the receiving groove.

[0042] By arranging the male end 610 in the receiving groove, the male end 610 is protected to a certain extent, and the damage to the male end 610 is reduced. Moreover, by extending the side wall of the motor housing 111 outward to form the first mounting seat 112, the space occupied by the air duct assembly 100 in the vertical direction can be reduced, thereby reducing the height size of the air conditioner cabinet.

[0043] Preferably, the first mounting seat 112 is an integral structure with the motor housing 111. This configuration of the first mounting seat 112 as an integral structure with the motor housing 111 ensures the structural strength of the connection between the first mounting seat 112 and the motor housing 111, thereby ensuring the plugging and unplugging reliability of the male end 610 and the female end 620, and there is no need to reassemble the first mounting seat 112 and the motor housing 111, thereby simplifying the assembly process of the air duct assembly 100.

[0044] Please continue to refer to Figure 4 In this embodiment, the male end 610 is fixed to the first mounting seat 112 by snap connection. With such a configuration, the male end 610 can be quickly removed and installed on the first mounting seat 112, which facilitates the removal and maintenance of the male end 610 and improves the maintenance efficiency of the male end 610.

[0045] Specifically, the first mounting seat 112 includes a fixed wall 113 fixed relative to the motor housing 111 and an elastic wall 114 spaced apart from the fixed wall 113 , wherein an elastic constriction is formed between the elastic wall 114 and the fixed wall 113 , and the elastic constriction is communicated with the accommodating groove.

[0046] When the male end 610 needs to be installed on the motor housing 111, the elastic wall 114 can be moved to enlarge the elastic constriction between the elastic wall 114 and the fixed wall 113, and then the male end 610 is placed in the receiving groove through the elastic constriction to achieve the clamping connection between the male end 610 and the first mounting seat 112, thereby achieving the assembly of the male end 610 and the motor housing 111. When the male end 610 needs to be removed, the elastic wall 114 is also moved to enlarge the elastic constriction between the elastic wall 114 and the fixed wall 113 to remove the male end 610. This arrangement of the first mounting seat 112 is not only simple in structure, but also convenient for the installation and removal of the male end 610.

[0047] Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the display box 210 of the air conditioning cabinet provided in this embodiment when the female end 620 is installed. Please continue to refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , and combined with Figure 5 In this embodiment, the side wall of the display box 210 extends outward to form a second mounting seat 220 . Specifically, the female end 620 is mounted on the second mounting seat 220 .

[0048] Such a configuration, on the one hand, can achieve the fixation of the female end 620 relative to the display box 210 without reducing the structural strength of the display box 210, and on the other hand, can also reduce the space occupied by the display box assembly 200 in the upper and lower directions, thereby further reducing the height dimension of the air conditioning cabinet.

[0049] Specifically, in this embodiment, the second mounting seat 220 is provided with a mounting hole that penetrates in the up-down direction, wherein a limiting portion is provided on the hole wall of the mounting hole, the female end 620 is clamped in the above-mentioned mounting hole, and the limiting portion is configured to prevent the female end 620 from being separated from the mounting hole from below the mounting hole. Such a configuration can realize the quick disassembly and quick assembly of the female end 620 on the second mounting seat 220, facilitate the removal and maintenance of the female end 620, and improve the maintenance efficiency of the female end 620.

[0050] Specifically, in this embodiment, a slot can be set on the side wall of the female end 620, and an elastic buckle can be partially formed on the hole wall of the mounting hole; when the female end 620 is installed in place in the mounting hole, the elastic buckle is snapped into the slot.

[0051] When the female end 620 needs to be installed on the second mounting seat 220, the female end 620 can be first placed opposite to the mounting hole, and then the female end 620 can be moved in the direction of the mounting hole; when the female end 620 contacts the elastic buckle, the elastic buckle will be squeezed by the female end 620 and move away from the female end 620; as the female end 620 continues to move, the slot provided on the female end 620 will move to the elastic buckle, and at this time, the elastic buckle will reset under the action of its own elastic restoring force and snap into the slot, thereby realizing the snap-connection and fixation of the female end 620 and the second mounting seat 220.

[0052] This type of clamping and fixing of the female end 620 and the second mounting seat 220 can not only realize a reliable connection between the female end 620 and the second mounting seat 220, but also facilitate assembly and disassembly.

[0053] Preferably, at least two hole walls of the mounting hole are formed with elastic buckles, and correspondingly, a slot is formed at a position of the female end 620 opposite to the above-mentioned hole wall.

[0054] Please continue to refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 In this embodiment, the male end 610 can be plugged into and matched with the female end 620.

[0055] This structural form in which the male end 610 and the female end 620 are connected by plugging makes the male end 610 and the female end 620 have a strong wrapping property. During the operation of the air-conditioning cabinet, the male end 610 and the female end 620 will not be separated due to misalignment and movement, thereby ensuring the connection reliability of the connecting terminal 600 and thus ensuring the operating reliability of the air-conditioning cabinet in this embodiment.

[0056] In other embodiments, the male end 610 and the female end 620 may also be magnetically coupled.

[0057] This structural form in which the male end 610 and the female end 620 are connected by magnetic adsorption allows the male end 610 and the female end 620 to be efficiently separated when the display box assembly 200 is disassembled. Correspondingly, when the display box assembly 200 is installed, the male end 610 and the female end 620 can be efficiently combined, thereby improving the disassembly and assembly efficiency of the display box assembly 200.

[0058] In addition, this embodiment also provides an air conditioner, including an air conditioner outdoor unit and the above-mentioned air conditioner cabinet.

[0059] By setting the above-mentioned air conditioning cabinet in the air conditioner, the air conditioner accordingly has all the advantages of the above-mentioned air conditioning cabinet, which will not be described one by one here.
