[0037] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0038] Please refer to Figures 1 to 10 The present invention provides a support structure, comprising: a support body 1; a first decorative component 2 disposed on the support body 1, the first decorative component 2 having a water-blocking portion 3, at least a portion of the water-blocking portion 3 protruding relative to the first decorative end face 20 of the first decorative component 2; the water-blocking portion 3 extending along the circumferential direction of the first decorative component 2; and a second decorative component 4, at least a portion of the second decorative component 4 being pressed onto the first decorative component 2 and connected to the support body 1.

[0039] The support structure provided by the present invention includes a support body 1, a first decorative component 2, and a second decorative component 4. The first decorative component 2 is attached to the support body 1, and the second decorative component 4 is attached to the side of the first decorative component 2 away from the support body 1 and connected to the support body 1. The first decorative component 2 is fixed to the support body 1 by the second decorative component 4, and the first decorative component 2 and the second decorative component 4 together provide an aesthetic effect. Specifically, the first decorative component 2 is provided with a water-blocking part 3, at least a portion of which protrudes relative to the first decorative end face 20 of the first decorative component 2. The water-blocking part 3 extends along the circumferential direction of the first decorative component 2. In this way, when there are water droplets on the first decorative component 2, the water droplets can be blocked on the first decorative component 2 by the water-blocking part 3, preventing the water droplets from sliding onto the supporting base surface of the support body 1 and causing slippage or water stains, thereby improving the user's comfort and usage effect.

[0040] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, the second decorative component 4 has a second decorative end face 40, which is inclined relative to the horizontal plane, and the water-blocking part 3 has a water-blocking end face. The second decorative component 4 is located on the side of the water-blocking part 3 near the middle of the first decorative component 2, so as to form a water storage tank 30 for storing water between the second decorative end face 40 and the water-blocking end face. When water droplets slide down the second decorative end face 40, under the action of the water-blocking end face, the water droplets flow into the water storage tank 30 and can evaporate naturally or be wiped clean.

[0041] like Figures 3 to 6 As shown, the first decorative component 2 is provided with a positioning groove 21; the support body 1 is provided with a positioning protrusion 10, at least a portion of which engages with the positioning groove 21. Through the mutual cooperation between the positioning protrusion 10 and the positioning groove 21, the structure is simple, making it convenient to directly limit the first decorative component 2 onto the support body 1, while also facilitating the assembly and disassembly of the first decorative component 2. The radial direction of the support body 1 restricts the movement of the first decorative component 2.

[0042] In specific implementation, the water-blocking part 3 includes a blocking body 31, which is disposed on the first decorative component 2. The blocking body 31 includes a fixed end and a free end. The fixed end of the blocking body 31 is connected to the first decorative component 2, and the free end of the blocking body 31 extends along a curved trajectory to form a positioning groove 21 between the free end and the fixed end. This allows the positioning of the water-blocking part 3 and the first decorative component 2 to be combined, thus achieving the function of blocking water and facilitating the positioning of the first decorative component 2 on the supporting body 1. Preferably, the depth of the positioning groove 21 is 5mm to 20mm. Within this range, the positioning groove 21 can limit the positioning protrusion 10, and the protrusion height of the blocking body 31 can also play a role in blocking water.

[0043] To further improve the installation stability of the first decorative component 2, the support structure further includes: a limiting part 22, disposed on the first decorative component 2, extending from the first decorative component 2 in a direction away from the first decorative component 2; and a first receiving part 11, disposed on the support body 1, with at least a portion of the limiting part 22 inserted into the first receiving part 11. Preferably, the limiting part 22 is a limiting plate, and the receiving part 11 is a limiting opening, with the limiting plate directly engaging within the limiting opening to limit the circumferential movement of the first decorative component 2.

[0044] Preferably, the first decorative component 2 is annular, and includes an inner end face and an outer end face arranged opposite each other in the radial direction. The limiting portion 22 is disposed on the inner end face of the first decorative component 2. The limiting plate extends from the inner end face of the first decorative component 2 toward the center of the first decorative component 2 to facilitate cooperation with the receiving portion 11.

[0045] Among them, such as Figure 4 As shown, the support body 1 is provided with a mounting groove 12, and at least a portion of the first decorative component 2 is installed in the mounting groove 12; at least a portion of the receiving portion 11 is provided on the groove wall surface of the mounting groove 12. This arrangement enables the first decorative component 2 to be embedded in the support body 1 after the first decorative component 2 is installed, making the connection between the first decorative component 2 and the support body 1 tight and improving the appearance.

[0046] In the embodiment provided by the present invention, a protruding plate 17 is provided on the support body 1. The protruding plate 17 extends along the circumferential direction of the support body 1, and the positioning protrusion 10 extends along the circumferential direction of the support body 1. The protruding plate 17 is located on the side of the positioning protrusion 10 close to the center direction of the support body 1 and is spaced apart from the positioning protrusion 10, so as to form an installation groove 12 between the positioning protrusion 10 and the protruding plate 17. In this way, the circumferential direction limitation of the first decorative component 2 of the support body 1 is realized, and the radial direction limitation of the first decorative component 2 is also realized. Preferably, the limiting opening is provided on the protruding plate 17.

[0047] In the specific implementation process, in order to ensure the stability of the first decorative component 2, there are multiple limiting parts 22, and the multiple limiting parts 22 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the first decorative component 2; there are multiple receiving parts 11, and the multiple receiving parts 11 are arranged one-to-one with the multiple limiting parts 22.

[0048] like Figures 7 to 10As shown, the first decorative component 2 has a mating end face 23 that fits against the second decorative component 4. The second decorative component 4 includes: a connecting body 41 connected to the supporting body 1; and a mating body 42, at least a portion of which fits against the mating end face 23. The connecting body 41 is connected to the end of the mating body 42 away from the first decorative component 2. The connecting body 41 extends horizontally, and the extension direction of the mating body 42 forms an angle with the extension direction of the connecting body 41. The second decorative end face 40 is located on both the connecting body 41 and the mating body 42. This arrangement causes the portion of the second decorative end face 40 on the mating body 42 to be inclined relative to the horizontal plane. The second decorative end face 40 on the mating body 42 has a concave-convex structure, which slows down the downward flow of water droplets and allows some water droplets to evaporate during this process, thereby reducing the amount of water in the storage tank.

[0049] Specifically, the support body 1 is provided with a connecting end face 13 that fits against the connecting body 41. A buffer portion 14 is provided on the connecting end face 13, protruding towards the connecting body 41 relative to the connecting end face 13. At least a portion of the connecting body 41 fits against the buffer portion 14. By providing the buffer portion 14, the contact area between the connecting end face 13 and the connecting body 41 is reduced, thus preventing abnormal noise between the connecting body 41 and the support body 1.

[0050] In this application, the buffer portion 14 includes a plurality of protruding ribs 140, which are arranged sequentially at intervals along the width direction of the support body 1, and at least a portion of the connecting body is in contact with the plurality of protruding ribs 140. This structure is simple and easy to implement, and the plurality of protruding ribs 140 can contact the connecting body 41 to avoid collision between the connecting body 41 and the support body 1, while also avoiding wear between the two.

[0051] To enhance the overall structural strength of the second decorative component 4, a limiting groove 15 is also provided on the support body 1. The second decorative component 4 further includes: a reinforcing body 43, disposed on the connecting body 41, extending from the connecting body 41 in a direction away from the fitting body 42; a flange 44 is provided at the end of the reinforcing body 43 away from the connecting body 41, extending in a direction close to the support body 1, and at least a portion of the flange 44 is inserted into the limiting groove 15. Multiple reinforcing bodies 43 are provided at intervals along the circumferential direction of the second decorative component 4 to improve its strength. The flange 44 and the limiting groove 15 also limit the second decorative component 4 on the support body 1.

[0052] Preferably, multiple ribs 140 are arranged on the side of the limiting groove 15, so that when the flange 44 is inserted into the limiting groove 15, the reinforcing body 43 and the multiple ribs 140 come into contact with each other, so that the ribs 140 buffer the force exerted on the reinforcing body 43.

[0053] Furthermore, the connecting body 41 is provided with a through hole 410, and the supporting body 1 is provided with a fixing hole 16 opposite to the through hole 410. The connecting body 41 and the supporting body 1 are connected by at least a portion of the fastener passing through the through hole 410 and the fixing hole 16 in sequence. During the installation process, the second decorative component 4 is first positioned by the engagement between the flange 44 and the limiting groove 15, and then the second decorative component 4 is fixed to the supporting body 1 using fasteners.

[0054] like Figure 11 As shown, the present invention also provides an air conditioner, including a body and a support structure 200, wherein the body is disposed on the support structure 200, and the support structure 200 is the support structure 200 described above.

[0055] The air conditioner also includes an air outlet module 300, an air duct module 400, an evaporator module 500, and an air inlet module 600, all of which are mounted on the unit body.

[0056] In this application, the air conditioner adopts the support structure 200 of the above embodiment. Water droplets generated on the air conditioner panel can slide into the water storage tank 30 for storage, thereby avoiding the problem of water droplets sliding onto the ground and causing water stains, which would affect the user's experience. At the same time, the first decorative component 2 and the second decorative component 4 cooperate with each other to ensure the installation stability of the first decorative component 2 and achieve the overall aesthetics of the air conditioner.

[0057] Preferably, the first decorative component 2, the second decorative component 4, and the supporting body 1 are all annular. The fitting body 42 in the second decorative component 4 is inclined relative to the horizontal plane, which makes the air conditioner more beautiful and also serves as a water-blocking function.

[0058] As can be seen from the above description, the embodiments of the present invention achieve the following technical effects:

[0059] The support structure provided by the present invention includes a support body 1, a first decorative component 2, and a second decorative component 4. The first decorative component 2 is attached to the support body 1, and the second decorative component 4 is attached to the side of the first decorative component 2 away from the support body 1 and connected to the support body 1. The first decorative component 2 is fixed to the support body 1 by the second decorative component 4, and the first decorative component 2 and the second decorative component 4 together provide an aesthetic effect. Specifically, the first decorative component 2 is provided with a water-blocking part 3, at least a portion of which protrudes relative to the first decorative end face 20 of the first decorative component 2. The water-blocking part 3 extends along the circumferential direction of the first decorative component 2. In this way, when there are water droplets on the first decorative component 2, the water droplets can be blocked on the first decorative component 2 by the water-blocking part 3, preventing the water droplets from sliding onto the supporting base surface of the support body 1 and causing slippage or water stains, thereby improving the user's comfort and usage effect.

[0060] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the invention. Various modifications and variations can be made to the present invention by those skilled in the art.
