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] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The embodiment of the present invention provides an air conditioner 100 for controlling indoor temperature. The air conditioner 100 can automatically cut off power during disassembly to avoid users from operating with power on and prevent safety accidents, which is safe.

[0026] The air conditioner 100 includes a mounting base 110, an air outlet mechanism 120, a switch 130, a working circuit (not shown), a front panel 140 and a display box 150. The switch 130 is mounted on the mounting base 110 and abuts against the air outlet mechanism 120. The mounting base 110 can drive the switch 130 to move so that the switch 130 is separated from the air outlet mechanism 120. The switch 130 is electrically connected to the working circuit. When the switch 130 abuts against the air outlet mechanism 120, the working circuit is turned on. When the switch 130 is separated from the air outlet mechanism 120, the working circuit is disconnected. The switch 130 can be separated from the air outlet mechanism 120 when the mounting base 110 moves in a direction away from the air outlet mechanism 120 to disconnect the working circuit, thereby realizing automatic power-off of the air conditioner 100, avoiding the user from operating with power on, and improving safety.

[0027] It should be noted that the front panel 140 is provided with an air outlet cavity 141, and the mounting seat 110, the air outlet mechanism 120 and the display box 150 are all arranged in the air outlet cavity 141. The mounting seat 110 is fixedly connected to the display box 150, and the display box 150 is slidably connected to the front panel 140. The display box 150 can drive the mounting seat 110 to slide relative to the front panel 140, so that the mounting seat 110 is away from or close to the air outlet mechanism 120, thereby realizing the action of separating the switch member 130 from the air outlet mechanism 120 or the switch member 130 and the air outlet mechanism 120 against each other, thereby realizing the disconnection or conduction of the working circuit.

[0028] Specifically, the mounting base 110 is arranged above the air outlet mechanism 120, and the switch component 130 is installed at the bottom of the mounting base 110. The display box 150 can drive the mounting base 110 to slide upward or downward in the vertical direction to make the mounting base 110 move away from or close to the air outlet mechanism 120, thereby separating or abutting the switch component 130 from the air outlet mechanism 120.

[0029] In this embodiment, the display box 150 and the mounting seat 110 can be slid upward to make way for the air outlet mechanism 120, so that the air outlet mechanism 120 can be removed from the air outlet cavity 141, thereby facilitating the cleaning of the air outlet mechanism 120. When the display box 150 drives the mounting seat 110 to slide upward to a preset position in the vertical direction, the mounting seat 110 no longer interferes with the air outlet mechanism 120, and the air outlet mechanism 120 can be conveniently removed from the air outlet cavity 141. In this way, the display box 150 and the mounting seat 110 can slide upward to disconnect the working circuit and make way for the air outlet mechanism 120, which has high disassembly efficiency and is convenient and practical.

[0030] The air outlet mechanism 120 includes an air duct 121, an air outlet frame 122, a crossflow fan 123 and an air guide blade 124. The crossflow fan 123 is installed in the air duct 121, and the crossflow fan 123 can drive the air flow to form an air outlet airflow, so as to realize the action of the air conditioner 100 blowing out hot air or cold air, thereby realizing the heating or cooling function of the air conditioner 100. The air duct 121 and the air outlet frame 122 are detachably connected to facilitate the cleaning or maintenance of the air conditioner 100. The air outlet frame 122 is abutted against the switch member 130 to realize the conduction of the working circuit. The air guide blade 124 is installed in the air outlet frame 122, and the air guide blade 124 can guide the air outlet airflow to adjust the air outlet direction of the air conditioner 100 and improve the comfort of the user.

[0031] In this embodiment, the switch 130 can be driven by the mounting seat 110 to abut against the air outlet frame 122 to achieve the conduction of the working circuit; the switch 130 can also be driven by the mounting seat 110 to separate from the air outlet frame 122 to achieve the disconnection of the working circuit. However, it is not limited to this. In other embodiments, the switch 130 can also be driven by the mounting seat 110 to abut against or separate from the air duct 121 to achieve the conduction or disconnection of the working circuit.

[0032] Furthermore, the air outlet frame 122 is provided with a contact platform 1221, and the contact platform 1221 has a contact surface 1222, and the switch element 130 abuts against the contact surface 1222 to achieve the conduction of the working circuit. Specifically, the contact platform 1221 is located at the top of the air outlet frame 122 and is protruding from the top surface of the air outlet frame 122, and the contact surface 1222 is arranged on the side of the contact platform 1221 away from the air outlet frame 122, so as to achieve the abutment or separation between the contact surface 1222 and the switch element 130, and avoid interference with other components.

[0033] In this embodiment, the contact surface 1222 is a horizontal surface. Flanges 1223 are disposed around the contact surface 1222 . The flanges 1223 can limit the switch element 130 to ensure that the switch element 130 is held against the contact surface 1222 .

[0034] It is worth noting that the mounting seat 110 is provided with a first limiting structure 111, and the air outlet frame 122 is provided with a second limiting structure 1224. The first limiting structure 111 cooperates with the second limiting structure 1224 to limit the relative position of the mounting seat 110 and the air outlet frame 122, and prevents the mounting seat 110 from being displaced relative to the air outlet frame 122, thereby ensuring that the switch member 130 abuts against the contact platform 1221. Specifically, when the mounting seat 110 slides toward the direction close to the air outlet frame 122 driven by the display box 150, the first limiting structure 111 cooperates with the second limiting structure 1224 to ensure that the switch member 130 can abut against the contact surface 1222 of the contact platform 1221; when the mounting seat 110 slides toward the direction away from the air outlet frame 122 driven by the display box 150, the first limiting structure 111 and the second limiting structure 1224 are released, so as to facilitate the disassembly and cleaning of the air outlet mechanism 120.

[0035] In this embodiment, the first limiting structure 111 is a limiting socket, and the second limiting structure 1224 is a limiting pin. The limiting pin extends into the limiting socket and slides with the limiting socket. The limiting pin can slide relative to the limiting socket, and the limiting socket can limit the position and sliding direction of the limiting pin. Specifically, the limiting pin is extended in the vertical direction to ensure that the mounting seat 110 slides upward or downward in the vertical direction, thereby improving the sliding stability of the mounting seat 110.

[0036] Specifically, the limit socket is a square hole, the cross-section of the limit pin is rectangular, and the shape of the limit pin matches the shape of the limit socket to prevent the limit pin from rotating relative to the limit socket, thereby preventing the mounting base 110 from rotating relative to the air outlet frame 122, further improving the limiting effect.

[0037] It should be noted that the limit pin is located at the top of the air outlet frame 122 and is arranged to protrude from the top surface of the air outlet frame 122. The height of the limit pin is greater than the height of the contact platform 1221, so as to ensure that the sliding cooperation between the limit pin and the limit socket precedes the abutment between the contact platform 1221 and the switch member 130. Specifically, when the display box 150 drives the mounting seat 110 to approach the air outlet frame 122, the limit pin first extends into the limit socket and slides relative to the limit socket; when the limit pin slides to the limit position, the switch member 130 installed on the mounting seat 110 abuts against the contact surface 1222 of the contact platform 1221, so as to realize the conduction of the working circuit. When the display box 150 drives the mounting base 110 away from the air outlet frame 122, the switch member 130 installed on the mounting base 110 is first separated from the contact surface 1222 of the contact platform 1221 to disconnect the working circuit. At this time, the limit pin is still located in the limit socket; then the limit pin slides relative to the limit socket until it is out of the limit socket.

[0038] In this embodiment, a reinforcing rib 1225 is provided on the side of the limit pin extending in the vertical direction to improve the strength of the limit pin and prevent the limit pin from bending or breaking. Further, the end of the reinforcing rib 1225 away from the air outlet frame 122 is chamfered to reduce friction resistance, enhance the sliding effect, and facilitate the limit pin to extend into the limit insertion hole. Specifically, the number of reinforcing ribs 1225 is multiple, and multiple reinforcing ribs 1225 are arranged at intervals on the side of the limit pin to further improve the strength of the limit pin.

[0039] Please refer to Figure 5 In this embodiment, the working circuit is a local circuit in the air conditioner 100, and the working circuit is electrically connected to the air outlet mechanism 120. When the working circuit is turned on, the air outlet mechanism 120 is powered, and when the working circuit is turned off, the air outlet mechanism 120 is powered off. However, this is not limited to this. In other embodiments, the working circuit can be the whole circuit of the air conditioner 100. When the working circuit is turned on, the whole air conditioner 100 is powered, and when the working circuit is turned off, the whole air conditioner 100 is powered off. The function of the working circuit is not specifically limited.

[0040] The mounting seat 110 is provided with a first terminal 112, and the air duct 121 is provided with a second terminal 1211. The first terminal 112 is electrically connected to the switch 130, and the second terminal 1211 is electrically connected to the crossflow fan 123. The first terminal 112 cooperates with the second terminal 1211, and the switch 130, the first terminal 112, the second terminal 1211 and the crossflow fan 123 form a working circuit. The switch 130 can be separated from the contact platform 1221 when the mounting seat 110 moves in a direction away from the air outlet frame 122 to disconnect the working circuit, thereby powering off the crossflow fan 123; the switch 130 can also abut against the contact platform 1221 when the mounting seat 110 moves in a direction close to the air outlet frame 122 to conduct the working circuit, thereby powering on the crossflow fan 123. In this way, the display box 150 can slide upward to cut off the power supply of the cross-flow blower 123, so as to prevent the user from operating the cross-flow blower 123 while it is powered on, thereby ensuring the user's safety.

[0041] Specifically, the first terminal 112 is a female terminal, and the second terminal 1211 is a male terminal. Since the male terminal pin is relatively long, it takes a while for the male terminal pin to fully mate with the female terminal jack, that is, the mating or unmating process between the female terminal and the male terminal has a delay. In the process of the display box 150 driving the mounting seat 110 away from the air outlet mechanism 120, if the male terminal pin is still located in the female terminal jack, the male terminal and the female terminal may still be in an electrically connected state, but since the switch 130 is separated from the contact platform 1221 instantaneously, the switch 130 can instantaneously control the disconnection of the working circuit to cut off the power to both the male terminal and the female terminal, thereby avoiding arcing when the male terminal pin is pulled out of the female terminal jack, thereby improving safety.

[0042] Please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 In this embodiment, the switch 130 is a micro switch, and the actuation stroke of the switch 130 is short, that is, the contact spacing of the switch 130 is small, and the sensitivity of the switch 130 is high, so as to quickly turn on or off the working circuit. However, it is not limited to this. In other embodiments, the switch 130 may be a button switch, or a key switch, and the type of the switch 130 is not specifically limited.

[0043] The switch member 130 includes a housing 131, a transmission part 132 and an elastic part 133. The elastic part 133 is installed in the housing 131 and connected to the transmission part 132. The transmission part 132 extends out of the housing 131 and abuts against the air outlet frame 122 of the air outlet mechanism 120. The transmission part 132 is used to retract into the housing 131 under the abutment of the air outlet frame 122 and drive the elastic part 133 to deform. The elastic part 133 is used to drive the transmission part 132 to extend out of the housing 131 under the action of its own elastic force. When the contact platform 1221 on the air outlet frame 122 abuts against the transmission part 132, the transmission part 132 retracts into the shell 131 and applies a force to the elastic part 133 to deform the elastic part 133, so that the fixed contact and the moving contact at the end of the elastic part 133 are closed and connected, thereby making the working circuit conductive; when the contact platform 1221 on the air outlet frame 122 is separated from the transmission part 132, the transmission part 132 no longer applies a force to the elastic part 133, and the elastic part 133 rebounds and resets under the action of its own elastic force, and drives the transmission part 132 to extend out of the shell 131, at which time the fixed contact and the moving contact at the end of the elastic part 133 are disconnected to disconnect the working circuit.

[0044] In this embodiment, the mounting base 110 is provided with a slot 113, and the housing 131 is clamped in the slot 113 to facilitate installation and maintenance. Further, a clamping platform 114 is provided in the slot 113, and a clamping arm 134 is provided in the housing 131. The housing 131 is provided in the slot 113, and the clamping arm 134 is clamped with the clamping platform 114 to fix the relative position of the housing 131 and the slot 113, thereby fixing the relative position of the switch 130 and the mounting base 110, and ensuring that the switch 130 can be displaced with the movement of the mounting base 110. Specifically, there are two clamping platforms 114 and two clamping arms 134, and the two clamping arms 134 are relatively arranged on both sides of the housing 131, and each clamping arm 134 is clamped with a clamping platform 114 to improve the clamping effect.

[0045] In the air conditioner 100 described in the embodiment of the present invention, the switch member 130 is installed on the mounting base 110 and abuts against the air outlet mechanism 120. The switch member 130 is electrically connected to the working circuit. The switch member 130 can be separated from the air outlet mechanism 120 when the mounting base 110 moves in a direction away from the air outlet mechanism 120 to disconnect the working circuit. Compared with the prior art, the air conditioner 100 provided by the present invention uses the switch member 130 installed on the mounting base 110 and the working circuit electrically connected to the switch member 130, so it can automatically cut off the power during the disassembly process of the air conditioner 100, so as to avoid the user from operating with power on and prevent safety accidents, and has good safety.

[0046] Although the present invention is disclosed as above, the present invention is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention shall be subject to the scope defined by the claims.
