DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0028] 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.

[0029] First embodiment

[0030] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The embodiment of the present invention provides an air conditioner housing 100 for shielding and protecting components in an air conditioner cabinet. The housing 100 can quickly make the display box 120 give way to the air outlet device 200, so that the air outlet device 200 can be disassembled for cleaning, thereby improving the disassembly and cleaning efficiency and protecting the health of users.

[0031] It should be noted that the air conditioning housing 100 is applied to an air conditioning cabinet, which is placed vertically on the ground, and the air conditioning cabinet includes the air conditioning housing 100 and an air outlet device 200. The air outlet device 200 is installed in the air conditioning housing 100, and the air outlet device 200 is used to blow out cold air or hot air to realize the cooling or heating function of the air conditioning cabinet, and the air conditioning housing 100 is used to shield and protect the air outlet device 200.

[0032] The air conditioner housing 100 includes a front panel 110 and a display box 120. The front panel 110 is provided with a sliding cavity 111, and the display box 120 and the air outlet device 200 are both arranged in the sliding cavity 111, and the display box 120 is arranged above the air outlet device 200. If the air outlet device 200 is to be removed from the sliding cavity 111 for cleaning or maintenance, the position of the display box 120 needs to be moved first to make way for the air outlet device 200.

[0033] In this embodiment, the display box 120 is slidably matched with the front panel 110, and the display box 120 can slide relative to the front panel 110 to extend or retract the sliding cavity 111. When the display box 120 slides to the first limit position in the direction of retracting the sliding cavity 111, the air conditioning cabinet is installed, which is convenient for the normal operation of the air conditioning cabinet. At this time, the display box 120 interferes with the removal of the air outlet device 200, and the air outlet device 200 cannot be removed from the sliding cavity 111; when the display box 120 slides to the second limit position in the direction of extending the sliding cavity 111, the display box 120 gives way to the air outlet device 200. At this time, the display box 120 no longer interferes with the removal of the air outlet device 200, and the air outlet device 200 can be removed from the sliding cavity 111, which is convenient for cleaning or maintenance of the air outlet device 200. In this way, the display box 120 can give way to the air outlet device 200 without removing the display box 120 from the front panel 110, which is convenient and quick, improves the disassembly and assembly efficiency of the air outlet device 200, and facilitates the removal of the air outlet device 200 for cleaning.

[0034] Please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 It is worth noting that a sliding port 112 is provided at the top of the front panel 110, and the sliding port 112 is connected to the sliding cavity 111. The display box 120 can extend from the sliding cavity 111 through the sliding port 112 to be away from the air outlet 200, thereby achieving the giving way action of the air outlet 200; the display box 120 can also be retracted from the sliding cavity 111 through the sliding port 112 to be close to the air outlet 200. Specifically, the sliding port 112 is located above the sliding cavity 111, and the display box 120 can slide vertically upward relative to the front panel 110 to extend from the sliding cavity 111 through the sliding port 112 and be away from the air outlet 200; the display box 120 can also slide vertically downward relative to the front panel 110 to retract from the sliding cavity 111 through the sliding port 112 and be close to the air outlet 200.

[0035] It should be noted that the front panel 110 is provided with a slide groove 113, which is communicated with the sliding cavity 111, and the display box 120 is provided with a guide slide bar 121, which extends into the slide groove 113 and can slide relative to the slide groove 113, so that the display box 120 slides relative to the front panel 110, and the slide groove 113 can limit the guide slide bar 121, so that the display box 120 can only slide along the extension direction of the slide groove 113. In this embodiment, the number of the slide groove 113 and the guide slide bar 121 is two, and the two guide slide bars 121 are relatively arranged on both sides of the display box 120, and the two slide grooves 113 are relatively arranged on both sides of the sliding cavity 111, and are communicated with the sliding cavity 111, and each guide slide bar 121 is slidably matched with a slide groove 113, so as to improve the stability of the display box 120 during the sliding process and prevent the display box 120 from being offset or rotating.

[0036] Please refer to Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Fig. 9 The front panel 110 includes a first limiting wall 114, a top wall 115, and a second limiting wall 116. The first limiting wall 114 and the second limiting wall 116 are spaced apart on the top wall 115, and the sliding opening 112 is provided on the top wall 115. In this embodiment, the first limiting wall 114, the top wall 115, and the second limiting wall 116 are integrally formed to improve the connection strength. A sliding groove 113 is formed between the first limiting wall 114 and the second limiting wall 116, and the guide slide 121 is slidably disposed between the first limiting wall 114 and the second limiting wall 116. The first limiting wall 114 and the second limiting wall 116 work together to limit the position and sliding direction of the guide slide 121.

[0037] In this embodiment, the first limiting wall 114 is provided with a first clip 117, and the first clip 117 protrudes in the direction close to the second limiting wall 116. The first clip 117 is used to engage with the guide slide 121 when the display box 120 slides to the first extreme position in the direction of the retracted sliding cavity 111, so as to prevent the guide slide 121 from continuing to slide in the direction close to the air outlet device 200, that is, to prevent the display box 120 from continuing to slide in the vertical downward direction, thereby completing the installation of the air conditioning cabinet.

[0038] Specifically, the first buckle 117 is arranged at one end of the first limiting wall 114 away from the top wall 115, that is, the first buckle 117 is arranged at the bottom of the first limiting wall 114, and a slot 122 is provided at the bottom of the guide slide 121. The slot 122 is used to engage with the first buckle 117 to fix the relative position of the slot 122 and the first buckle 117, thereby fixing the relative position of the guide slide 121 and the first limiting wall 114, and preventing the display box 120 from continuing to slide in the vertical downward direction.

[0039] In this embodiment, a second buckle 118 is provided in the middle of the second limiting wall 116, and the second buckle 118 protrudes in the direction close to the first limiting wall 114. The second buckle 118 is used to engage with the bottom of the guide slide 121 when the display box 120 slides to the second limit position in the direction of extending out of the sliding cavity 111, so as to prevent the guide slide 121 from sliding in the direction close to the air outlet device 200 under the action of its own gravity, that is, to prevent the display box 120 from sliding in the vertical downward direction under the action of its own gravity, thereby preventing the display box 120 from interfering with the disassembly and assembly of the air outlet device 200. At this time, the display box 120 gives way to the air outlet device 200, which is convenient for the disassembly and assembly of the air outlet device 200.

[0040] Specifically, the second buckle 118 is provided with a guide surface 1181 and a stop surface 1182 opposite to each other. The guide surface 1181 and the stop surface 1182 are arranged at a preset angle, the top of the guide bar 121 is chamfered, the guide surface 1181 can slide relative to the top of the guide bar 121, and the stop surface 1182 can abut against the bottom of the guide bar 121, so as to realize the clamping of the second buckle 118 and the guide bar 121. In this embodiment, the preset angle is 75 degrees, but it is not limited thereto. In other embodiments, the preset angle formed between the guide surface 1181 and the stop surface 1182 can be 90 degrees or 60 degrees, and the size of the preset angle is not specifically limited.

[0041] Furthermore, in the process of display box 120 sliding in the direction of extending out of sliding cavity 111, first, the top of guide slide bar 121 abuts against guide slide surface 1181, and relative movement occurs. At this time, due to the chamfered setting of the top of guide slide bar 121, the friction resistance between the top of guide slide bar 121 and guide slide surface 1181 is small, and guide slide bar 121 slides upward relative to second buckle 118, and second buckle 118 undergoes elastic deformation; then guide slide bar 121 continues to slide upward, at this time, second buckle 118 always maintains an abutment state with the side surface of guide slide bar 121; then display box 120 slides to the second extreme position, and second buckle 118 rebounds and resets. At this time, guide slide bar 121 is located above the second buckle 118, and the bottom of guide slide bar 121 abuts against stop surface 1182, and stop surface 1182 can limit the guide slide bar 121 to prevent the guide slide bar 121 from sliding downward under the action of gravity.

[0042] Please continue to refer to Figure 5 The display box 120 includes a display box body 123 and a connecting piece 124. One side of the connecting piece 124 is fixedly connected to the display box body 123, and the other side is fixedly connected to the guide slide 121. In this embodiment, the guide slide 121 is integrally formed with the display box body 123 through the connecting piece 124 to improve the connection strength. The display box body 123, the connecting piece 124 and the guide slide 121 together form a clearance groove 125. The second limiting wall 116 is arranged in the clearance groove 125. The second limiting wall 116 is located between the display box body 123 and the guide slide 121. The display box body 123 and the guide slide 121 can slide relative to the second limiting wall 116. The second limiting wall 116 can limit the position and sliding direction of the display box body 123 and the guide slide 121.

[0043] In this embodiment, there are two connecting pieces 124. One side of the display box body 123 is fixedly connected to a guide slide 121 through a connecting piece 124, and the other side is fixedly connected to another guide slide 121 through another connecting piece 124. Each guide slide 121 is slidably matched with a slide groove 113 to improve the sliding stability of the display box 120 relative to the front panel 110.

[0044] In the air conditioner housing 100 described in the embodiment of the present invention, the front panel 110 is provided with a sliding cavity 111, and the display box 120 is disposed in the sliding cavity 111 and slidably cooperates with the front panel 110 to extend out of or retract into the sliding cavity 111. Compared with the prior art, the air conditioner housing 100 provided by the present invention uses the display box 120 disposed in the sliding cavity 111 and slidably cooperates with the front panel 110, so that the display box 120 can quickly give way to the air outlet device 200, so that the air outlet device 200 can be disassembled for cleaning, thereby improving the disassembly and cleaning efficiency and protecting the health of the user.
