During the installation or removal of the air duct assembly, the air duct assembly and the air duct bracket are usually fixed with screws, which makes the installation and removal of the air duct assembly difficult. Summary of the invention

[0003] The problem solved by the present invention is how to improve the difficulty in installing and disassembling the air duct assembly.

[0004] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides an air conditioner, which can effectively improve the above technical problems.

[0005] The present invention can be implemented like this:

[0006] An embodiment of the present invention provides an air conditioner, which includes an air duct assembly, a rolling member, an electric control box and a mounting bracket, wherein the mounting bracket is supported by the electric control box, the rolling member is rotatably mounted on one of the air duct assembly and the mounting bracket, and the rolling member is used to rollingly fit with the other of the air duct assembly and the mounting bracket to install the air duct assembly on the mounting bracket, or remove the air duct assembly from the mounting bracket.

[0007] In this way, during the installation or removal of the air duct assembly, the air duct assembly and the mounting bracket are rolled together by the rolling element, which can reduce the friction between the air duct assembly and the mounting bracket, making the installation and removal of the air duct assembly easier. At the same time, the rolling contact between the rolling element and the mounting bracket can reduce the probability of direct collision between the air duct assembly and the mounting bracket, and can improve the problem of abnormal noise being easily generated during the installation or removal of the air duct assembly. In addition, the mounting bracket can not only be used to install the air duct assembly, but also to support the electric control box, effectively saving costs.

[0008] Optionally, the rolling element is rotatably mounted on the air duct assembly, a guide rail is provided on the mounting bracket, and the rolling element is used for rolling cooperation with the guide rail.

[0011] In this way, the first connecting plate, the second connecting plate and the third connecting plate all play a limiting role on the rolling element, which can reduce the probability of the rolling element falling off the guide rail.

[0012] Optionally, the rolling element is rotatably connected to the mounting bracket around a first preset axis, and the first preset axis is parallel to the first connecting plate and perpendicular to the second connecting plate;

[0013] The outer wall of the rolling element is in rolling contact with the third connecting plate.

[0014] In this way, the rolling element can roll on the third connecting plate, and the third connecting plate can limit the rolling element to prevent the rolling element from being separated from the guide rail during rolling.

[0016] In this way, the rolling element can roll on the second connecting plate, and the second connecting plate can also limit the rolling element to prevent the rolling element from being separated from the guide rail during rolling.

[0017] Optionally, the guide rail also includes a fourth connecting plate, which is simultaneously connected to the first connecting plate, the second connecting plate and the third connecting plate, and the fourth connecting plate is used to stop the rolling element in an installation direction, wherein the installation direction is the direction of installing the air duct assembly on the mounting bracket.

[0018] In this way, the fourth connecting plate stops the rolling element in the installation direction, thereby preventing the rolling element from being separated from the installation bracket along the installation direction.

[0019] Optionally, the second connecting plate and the fourth connecting plate are both provided with convex strips.

[0029] 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.

[0030] Please refer to Figure 1 This embodiment provides an air conditioner, which includes an outer frame 2, a mounting bracket 11 and an air duct assembly 12, wherein the mounting bracket 11 is detachably connected to the outer frame 2, and the air duct assembly 12 is detachably connected to the mounting bracket 11.

[0031] That is to say, in actual use, the mounting bracket 11 can be removed from the outer frame 2, and the air duct assembly 12 can also be removed from the mounting bracket 11. In this way, it is convenient for users to clean the air duct assembly 12.

[0032] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In this embodiment, the air conditioner 1 also includes a rolling member 13, which is rotatably mounted on the air duct assembly 12, and the rolling member 13 is used to roll with the mounting bracket 11 to mount the air duct assembly 12 on the mounting bracket 11, or to remove the air duct assembly 12 from the mounting bracket 11.

[0033] That is to say, in actual use, during the process of installing or removing the air duct assembly 12, the air duct assembly 12 and the mounting bracket 11 are rolled together through the rolling element 13, so that the friction between the air duct assembly 12 and the mounting bracket 11 can be reduced, and the installation and removal of the air duct assembly 12 are easier. At the same time, the rolling contact between the rolling element 13 and the mounting bracket 11 can reduce the probability of direct collision between the air duct assembly 12 and the mounting bracket 11, and effectively improve the problem of abnormal noise easily generated during the installation or removal of the air duct assembly 12.

[0034] It should be noted that, in other embodiments, the rolling member 13 can also be installed on the mounting bracket 11, and the rolling member 13 is used to roll with the air duct assembly 12. This can also reduce the friction between the air duct assembly 12 and the mounting bracket 11, and can improve the problem of abnormal noise that is easily generated during the installation or removal of the air duct assembly 12.

[0035] It should be noted that the rolling element 13 may be a bearing, a roller or other parts.

[0036] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the air conditioner further includes an electric control box (not shown in the figure), which is mounted on the mounting bracket 11 and is used to control the start and stop or working power of the wind sweeping blades in the air duct assembly.

[0037] It can be understood that, in this embodiment, the mounting bracket 11 can not only be used to install the air duct assembly 12, but also can support the electric control box, thereby effectively saving manufacturing costs.

[0038] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 In this embodiment, a guide rail 14 is provided on the mounting bracket 11 , and the rolling element 13 is used for rolling cooperation with the guide rail 14 .

[0039] That is to say, during the process of installing or removing the air duct assembly 12, the rolling member 13 can roll in the guide rail 14. The guide rail 14 can guide the rolling member 13, thereby improving the installation and removal efficiency of the air duct assembly 12.

[0040] Please refer to Figure 3 Taking the installation process of the air duct assembly 12 as an example, the extension direction of the guide rail 14 is parallel to the installation direction of the air duct assembly 12 (the direction indicated by the arrow A in the figure). During the rolling cooperation between the rolling member 13 and the guide rail 14, the rolling member 13 can move along the extension direction of the guide rail 14. This can prevent the air duct assembly 12 from deviating from the original direction during the installation process, thereby improving the installation efficiency of the air duct assembly 12.

[0041] Of course, in other embodiments, when the rolling element 13 is rotatably connected to the mounting bracket 11 , the guide rail 14 may also be disposed on the air duct assembly 12 .

[0042] Combination Figure 2 and Figure 3 In this embodiment, rolling elements 13 are installed on opposite sides of the air duct assembly 12, and guide rails 14 are provided on opposite sides of the mounting bracket 11. The rolling elements 13 on both sides of the air duct assembly 12 respectively roll with the guide rails 14 on both sides of the mounting bracket 11. This can improve the stability of the air duct assembly 12 during installation or removal.

[0043] In addition, on the same side of the air duct assembly 12, the number of rolling elements 13 is not specifically limited, and may be one, two, three, etc.

[0044] It should be noted that, optionally, in other embodiments, the duct assembly 12 may be provided with rolling elements 13 and guide rails 14 on opposite sides, and correspondingly, the mounting bracket 11 may be provided with guide rails 14 and rolling elements 13 on opposite sides, respectively. The rolling elements 13 on the duct assembly 12 are used for rolling cooperation with the guide rails 14 on the mounting bracket 11, and the rolling elements 13 on the mounting bracket 11 are used for rolling cooperation with the guide rails 14 on the duct assembly 12.

[0045] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 In this embodiment, the guide rail 14 includes a first connecting plate 141, a second connecting plate 142 and a third connecting plate 143. The first connecting plate 141, the second connecting plate 142 and the third connecting plate 143 are all connected to the mounting bracket 11. The first connecting plate 141 and the second connecting plate 142 are vertically arranged, and the first connecting plate 141 and the third connecting plate 143 are parallelly arranged.

[0046] It can be understood that the first connecting plate 141, the second connecting plate 142 and the third connecting plate 143 can limit the rolling element 13 in different directions. When the rolling element 13 rolls on the guide rail 14, the rolling element 13 is not easy to separate from the guide rail 14, and the air duct assembly 12 is not easy to separate from the mounting bracket 11, thereby reducing the probability of safety accidents.

[0047] by Figure 4 For example, in this embodiment, the first connecting plate 141 can move the rolling element 13 in the upward direction ( Figure 4 The second connecting plate 142 can limit the rolling element 13 in the direction of the inner side (in the direction indicated by the arrow B). Figure 4 The third connecting plate 143 can limit the rolling element 13 in the downward direction (in the direction indicated by the arrow C in the middle). Figure 4It plays a limiting role in the direction indicated by the arrow D in the middle.

[0048] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the terms "vertical" and "parallel" do not require that the two components are absolutely vertical or parallel, but can be slightly inclined. For example, in this embodiment, the angle between the first connecting plate 141 and the second connecting plate 142 is in the range of 85°-95°, which can also be understood as the first connecting plate 141 and the second connecting plate 142 are arranged vertically. In this embodiment, the angle between the first connecting plate 141 and the third connecting plate 143 is in the range of 0-10°, which can also be understood as the first connecting plate 141 and the third connecting plate 143 are arranged in parallel.

[0049] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the guide rail 14 is integrally formed with the mounting bracket 11. In other embodiments, the guide rail 14 may also be connected to the mounting bracket 11 by welding, bonding, or other connection methods.

[0050] Combination Figure 2 and Figure 4 In this embodiment, the rolling member 13 is rotatably connected to the mounting bracket 11 around the first preset axis 3, and the first preset axis 3 is parallel to the first connecting plate 141 and perpendicular to the second connecting plate 142. In this way, the outer wall of the rolling member 13 can roll and contact the third connecting plate 143. In other words, during the installation or removal of the air duct assembly 12, the rolling member 13 rolls on the third connecting plate 143.

[0051] Optionally, the rolling member 13 rolls in contact with the third connecting plate 143 , and the third connecting plate 143 can also support the rolling member 13 . In this way, the mounting bracket 11 and the guide rail 14 can also support the air duct assembly 12 .

[0052] It should be noted that, in other embodiments, the rolling member 13 can also be rotatably connected to the mounting bracket 11 around a second preset axis, wherein the second preset axis is parallel to the second connecting plate 142 and perpendicular to the first connecting plate 141. In this case, the outer wall of the rolling member 13 can roll in contact with the second connecting plate 142, thereby achieving a rolling fit effect between the rolling member 13 and the guide rail 14.

[0053] Combination Figure 3 and Figure 4 In this embodiment, the guide rail 14 also includes a fourth connecting plate 144, which is connected to the first connecting plate 141, the second connecting plate 142 and the third connecting plate 143 at the same time, and the fourth connecting plate 144 is used to stop the rolling element 13 in the installation direction.

[0054] It should be noted that the installation direction is the direction in which the air duct assembly 12 is installed on the mounting bracket 11. Figure 3 For example, Figure 3 The direction indicated by arrow A is the installation direction.

[0055] It can be understood that the fourth connecting plate 144 stops the rolling element 13 in the installation direction, thereby preventing the rolling element 13 from being separated from the installation bracket 11 along the installation direction.

[0056] Combination Figure 4 In this embodiment, the second connecting plate 142 and the fourth connecting plate 144 are both provided with convex strips 15. This can enhance the overall strength of the second connecting plate 142 and the fourth connecting plate 144. Specifically, the convex strips 15 extend from the second connecting plate 142 to the fourth connecting plate 144, which can enhance the connection strength between the second connecting plate 142 and the fourth connecting plate 144.

[0057] In some embodiments:

[0058] Please refer to Figure 2-Figure 4 The air conditioner 1 includes a mounting bracket 11, an electric control box, an air duct assembly 12 and a rolling member 13. The mounting bracket 11 is supported by the electric control box. The air duct assembly 12 is provided with rolling members 13 on opposite sides. The rolling members 13 are rotatably mounted on the air duct assembly 12. The mounting bracket 11 is provided with guide rails 14 on opposite sides. The rolling members 13 on opposite sides of the air duct assembly 12 are respectively rollingly matched with the guide rails 14 on opposite sides of the mounting bracket 11.

[0059] The rolling element 13 is a cylindrical bearing. The guide rail 14 and the mounting bracket 11 are formed in one piece.

[0060] exist Figure 2-Figure 4 In the figure, the guide rail 14 includes a first connecting plate 141, a second connecting plate 142 and a third connecting plate 143. The first connecting plate 141, the second connecting plate 142 and the third connecting plate 143 are all connected to the mounting bracket 11. The first connecting plate 141 and the second connecting plate 142 are vertically arranged, the first connecting plate 141 and the third connecting plate 143 are parallelly arranged, and the third connecting plate 143 and the second connecting plate 142 are vertically arranged.

[0061] The rolling element 13 is rotatably connected to the mounting bracket 11 around a first preset axis 3 . The first preset axis 3 is parallel to the first connecting plate 141 and perpendicular to the second connecting plate 142 .

[0062] After the rolling member 13 enters the guide rail 14, the rolling member 13 rolls in contact with the third connecting plate 143. Under the action of external force, the rolling member 13 rolls on the third connecting plate 143, thereby realizing the function of installing the air duct assembly 12 on the mounting bracket 11 or removing the air duct assembly 12 from the mounting bracket 11.

[0063] exist Figure 2-Figure 4 In the embodiment, the guide rail 14 further includes a fourth connecting plate 144, which is connected to the first connecting plate 141, the second connecting plate 142 and the third connecting plate 143 at the same time, and the fourth connecting plate 144 is used to stop the rolling element 13 in the installation direction. Figure 3 The direction indicated by arrow A.

[0064] In summary, the present embodiment provides an air conditioner 1, which can effectively improve the problem of difficulty in installing or removing the air duct assembly 12, and can also improve the problem of abnormal noise that is easily generated during the installation or removal of the air duct assembly 12.
