[0054] The realization of the purpose, functional features and advantages of the present invention will be further explained in conjunction with embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0055] It should be noted that if there are descriptions involving "first", "second", etc. in the embodiments of the present invention, the descriptions of "first", "second", etc. are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or suggesting their relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, the features defined as "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of the features. In addition, the meaning of "and / or" appearing in the full text is to include three parallel schemes. Taking "A and / or B" as an example, it includes scheme A, or scheme B, or a scheme that satisfies both A and B.

[0056] The present invention provides an air conditioner, which can have temperature adjustment function, air purification function, humidification function and the like.

[0057] In the embodiment of the present invention, Figures 1 to 12 As shown, the air conditioner includes a main unit 100, a sub-unit 200 and a side door panel 130; the main unit 100 includes a main unit body 110, a receiving chamber 111 is defined in the main unit body 110, and the main unit body 110 is provided with a mounting opening 112 communicating with the receiving chamber 111. The sub-unit 200 is detachably mounted in the receiving chamber 111 via the mounting opening 112. The side door panel 130 is mounted on one of the main unit body 110 and the sub-unit 200. When the sub-unit 200 is mounted in the receiving chamber 111, the side door panel 130 is located at the outer peripheral side of the sub-unit 200, so as to have a shielding position for shielding the gap between the outer periphery of the sub-unit 200 and the periphery of the mounting opening 112.

[0058] In this embodiment, the air conditioner can be a floor-standing air conditioner or a wall-mounted air conditioner. The floor-standing air conditioner is taken as an example for exemplary description. The overall shape of the host 100 and the sub-machine 200 can be cylindrical, elliptical, square or other shapes. The shapes of the host 100 and the sub-machine 200 can be the same or different. It can be selected and designed according to actual use requirements, and is not limited here. Optionally, the cross-section of the sub-machine 200 is set in a rectangular shape. In this way, the sub-machine 200 is set in a square column shape as a whole, so that the arrangement of the air treatment module and the wind wheel inside the sub-machine 200 is more compact, thereby reducing the volume and occupied space of the sub-machine 200. The host 100 extends in the up and down direction as a whole, and the host 100 and the sub-machine 200 can be set in equal cross-section or variable cross-section in the up and down direction.

[0059] In one embodiment, an indoor heat exchange module is provided on the main body 110, and the sub-unit 200 includes an air processing module, and when the sub-unit 200 is separated from the main unit 100, the sub-unit 200 can work independently. The sub-unit 200 specifically also includes a wind wheel. The indoor heat exchange module has a heat exchange air duct. When the sub-unit 200 is installed in the accommodating chamber 111, the heat exchange air duct and the air processing air duct can be isolated from each other or can be interconnected. In practice, when the sub-unit 200 is installed in the accommodating chamber 111, the heat exchange air duct and the air processing air duct are isolated from each other. In this way, the heat exchange air duct and the air processing air duct are independent of each other and do not affect each other, so that the heat exchange effect of the indoor heat exchange module will not be affected when the sub-unit 200 is connected to or separated from the main unit 100, thereby ensuring the heat exchange stability of the entire floor-standing air conditioner indoor unit. Optionally, the accommodating chamber 111 is located below or above the heat exchange air duct.

[0060] The indoor heat exchange module is used to exchange heat for the airflow passing through the heat exchange air duct to achieve cooling or heating. The indoor heat exchange module may have only cooling function, or may have both cooling and heating functions. The indoor heat exchange module includes a heat exchange component. It can be understood that the host 100 also includes a heat exchange air inlet and a heat exchange air outlet connected to the heat exchange air duct. A heat exchange component is provided in the heat exchange air duct, and the heat exchange component includes a heat exchanger and a heat exchange fan. The heat exchange fan drives the airflow from the heat exchange air inlet into the heat exchange air duct, and blows out from the heat exchange air outlet after heat exchange in the heat exchanger, thereby achieving indoor cooling or heating. Among them, the indoor heat exchange module also includes structures such as refrigerant pipes and compressors. Its specific structure can refer to the existing technology of the indoor unit of the floor-standing air conditioner, which will not be repeated here.

[0061] The air treatment module may specifically include one or more of a purification module, a fragrance module, a humidification module, and an electrolytic water module. The wind wheel in the sub-machine 200 may specifically be a centrifugal fan, etc. The sub-machine 200 has a sub-machine 200 air duct, an air inlet and an air outlet connected to the sub-machine 200 air duct, and the air treatment module is arranged in the sub-machine 200 air duct. The air outlet may be provided on the side wall and / or the top wall of the housing, and the air inlet may be provided on the side wall of the housing. In this way, the wind wheel drives the airflow to enter the air treatment air duct from the air inlet, and blows out from the air outlet after being processed by the air treatment module in the air treatment air duct. By installing an air treatment module on the air inlet side and / or the air outlet side of the wind wheel, the sub-machine 200 can realize air treatment functions such as purification, sterilization, fragrance, humidification, and dehumidification while having a circulating air supply function. And the airflow is driven by the wind wheel to flow through the air treatment module, so that the processing efficiency of the air treatment module is higher.

[0062] Usually, a top cover is provided at the top of the accommodating chamber 111. The accommodating chamber 111 can be located at the upper part, the middle part or the lower part of the host 100. In practice, the host 100 extends in the up-down direction, and the accommodating chamber 111 is provided at the lower part of the host 100. The sub-machine 200 can be detachably installed in the accommodating chamber 111, and the sub-machine 200 can be directly placed in the accommodating chamber 111 and separated from the accommodating chamber 111 by rolling, sliding, etc. The sub-machine 200 can also be installed in the accommodating chamber 111 by a limiting structure, such as being connected to the accommodating chamber 111 by a snap connection, a magnetic connection, etc. There are many ways in which the sub-machine 200 is installed in the accommodating chamber 111 and is separated from the accommodating chamber 111, which are not listed here one by one. The sub-machine 200 can be manually moved out of the accommodating chamber 111 by the user, thereby making the sub-machine 200 detached from the host 100. The sub-machine 200 can also be controlled to move out of the main machine 100 autonomously. In this case, the accommodating chamber 111 needs to be set at the bottom of the main machine 100 so that the sub-machine 200 can move out of the accommodating chamber 111 autonomously. After the sub-machine 200 moves out of the accommodating chamber 111, the sub-machine 200 can be autonomously moved in a cycle in the room to meet the needs of the entire indoor air treatment and make the air supply uniform in the entire space. The sub-machine 200 can also be moved manually by the user to the required position in the room or to a certain position autonomously, such as an area where many people gather, so as to meet the fixed-point air supply in a certain area, realize long-distance, fixed-point, and directional air supply, and improve the air treatment effect. Compared with moving the entire floor-standing air conditioner indoor unit, the movement of the sub-machine 200 is more flexible and convenient, so as to meet the different usage needs of users. And the sub-machine 200 can relay the air supply of the air flow blown out of the heat exchange outlet of the main machine 100, so that the air supply distance is farther and the air supply range is wider.

[0063] The sub-unit 200 is detachably mounted in the accommodating chamber 111 via the mounting opening 112, so that the size of the mounting opening 112 is larger than the size of the sub-unit 200, so that the sub-unit 200 can smoothly enter and exit the accommodating chamber 111 through the mounting opening 112. The shape of the mounting opening 112 is usually adapted to the shape of the longitudinal section of the sub-unit 200. Usually, the mounting opening 112 is arranged in a rectangular shape. The side door panel 130 is specifically a thin plate-like structure. This makes the structure of the whole machine compact and occupies less space. When the side door panel 130 is in the shielding position, the side door panel 130 can block the gap between the outer periphery of the sub-unit 200 and the periphery of the mounting opening 112, which can not only ensure the neatness and overall consistency of the front appearance of the air conditioner, but also prevent foreign matter from entering the accommodating chamber 111.

[0064] It is understandable that the shape of the installation opening 112 can be rectangular, circular, etc. Then the shape of the side door panel 130 can also be rectangular, strip-shaped, arc-shaped, special-shaped, etc. The side door panel 130 can be installed on the main machine body 110, and can also be installed on the sub-machine 200. It is only necessary that when the sub-machine 200 is installed in the accommodating cavity 111, the side door panel 130 can cover the gap between the outer periphery of the sub-machine 200 and the periphery of the installation opening 112. When the side door panel 130 is installed on the sub-machine 200, the side door panel 130 can be fixedly installed on the sub-machine 200, or it can be movably installed on the sub-machine 200. It is only necessary that the side door panel 130 has a shielding position, and can cover the gap between the outer periphery of the sub-machine 200 and the periphery of the installation opening 112. When the side door panel 130 is installed on the main body 110 , the side door panel 130 should be movably installed on the main body 110 , so that the side door panel 130 also has an escape position to avoid the sub-machine 200 and allow the sub-machine 200 to move out of the accommodating cavity through the installation opening 112 .

[0065] The number of the side door panels 130 may be one, two, three, four, etc. When there is one side door panel 130, the side door panel 130 may only cover the gap between part of the periphery of the sub-machine 200 and the side wall of the accommodating chamber 111, or the side door panel 130 may be arranged around the periphery of the sub-machine 200 so that the side door panel 130 covers the gap between the entire periphery of the sub-machine 200 and the side wall of the accommodating chamber 111. When there are two side door panels 130, the side door panels 130 may be respectively arranged on opposite sides of the sub-machine 200, such as the upper and lower sides, the left and right sides, etc. When there are four side door panels 130, the four side door panels 130 may be respectively arranged on the upper and lower sides, the left and right sides of the sub-machine 200. When there are two or more side door panels 130 , all of the side door panels 130 may be installed on the slave unit 200 or the host unit body 110 , or some of the side door panels 130 may be installed on the host unit body 110 and some of the side door panels 130 may be installed on the slave unit 200 .

[0066] The air conditioner of the present invention allows the slave 200 to be detachably installed in the accommodating chamber 111 of the main unit 100 via the installation port 112, and allows the slave 200 to work independently from the main unit 100. While ensuring rapid air treatment in the entire room, the slave 200 can be moved throughout the house to supply air, purify, humidify, dehumidify, etc., and the air treatment requirements of a certain area or the entire area in the room can be flexibly adjusted through the slave 200, so that the entire air conditioner is highly flexible and can meet the different air treatment requirements of users. At the same time, the slave 200 can be stored in the main unit 100, thereby realizing the storage integration of multiple machines, saving room space, and improving space utilization.

[0067] In addition, the side door panel 130 is installed on one of the main body 110 and the sub-unit 200. When the sub-unit 200 is installed in the accommodating cavity 111, the side door panel 130 is located on the outer periphery of the sub-unit 200, so as to have a shielding position to shield the gap between the outer periphery of the sub-unit 200 and the periphery of the installation opening 112. On the one hand, the side door panel 130 can partially or fully cover the gap between the outer periphery of the sub-unit 200 and the peripheral wall of the accommodating cavity 111, which can not only ensure the neatness and overall consistency of the front appearance of the air conditioner, but also prevent foreign matter from entering the accommodating cavity 111 through the gap. On the other hand, the side door panel 130 partially closes the installation opening 112, which can reduce the exposed area of ​​the installation opening 112, thereby making the appearance of the air conditioner more beautiful.

[0068] In one embodiment, the side door panel 130 is movably mounted on the main body 110 , and the side door panel 130 further has an escape position for evading the sub-machine 200 so as to allow the sub-machine 200 to move out of the accommodating cavity 111 .

[0069] In this embodiment, the side door panel 130 can be movably mounted on the main machine body 110, and the side door panel 130 and the main machine body 110 can be connected by rotation, sliding or other connections, etc., as long as the shielding position and the avoidance position of the side door panel 130 can be switched, and no specific limitation is made here. It can be understood that when the side door panel 130 is in the avoidance position, that is, when the side door panel 130 opens the installation opening 112, the side door panel 130 will not affect the sub-machine 200 from entering and exiting the accommodating chamber 111 through the installation opening 112. When the side door panel 130 is in the blocking position, the side end of the side door panel 130 close to the sub-machine 200 can be abutted against the sub-machine 200, or in the inner and outer directions of the installation opening 112, so that the side door panel 130 is set on the outer side of the main door panel 120. At this time, the side door panel 130 can extend to partially block the sub-machine 200 to ensure that the side door panel 130 can completely or mostly block the gap between the outer periphery of the sub-machine 200 and the periphery of the installation opening 112.

[0070] In one embodiment, the host 100 further includes a main door panel 120 movably mounted on the host body 110 to have a closed position for closing the installation opening 112 together with the side door panel 130 and an open position for opening the installation opening 112 .

[0071] In this embodiment, the main door panel 120 can have many shapes, such as circular, oval, rectangular, etc. The main door panel 120 is specifically a thin plate-shaped structure. This makes the whole machine compact and occupies less space. There are many ways to flexibly connect the main door panel 120 with the host body 110, for example, the main door panel 120 can be slidably connected to the host body 110, or the main door panel 120 can be rotatably connected to the host body 110. It is only necessary to make the main door panel 120 have a closed position to close the installation opening 112 together with the side door panel 130 and an open position to open the installation opening 112. The connection method of the main door panel 120 and the host body 110 is not specifically limited here. The opening and closing methods of the side door panel 130 and the main door panel 120 can be the same or different. By arranging the side door panel 130 and the main door panel 120 to jointly close the installation opening 112, and both of them can open the installation opening 112, the weight of a single door panel can be reduced compared to opening and closing the installation opening 112 by a single door panel, and the control of the side door panel 130 and the main door panel 120 is facilitated. It can be understood that the main door panel 120 and the side door panel 130 cooperate to close the installation opening 112, so that on the one hand, the installation opening 112 can be completely closed to effectively prevent debris from entering the accommodating chamber 111 and avoid affecting the entry and exit of the sub-unit 200 into the accommodating chamber 111, and on the other hand, the neatness and overall consistency of the front appearance of the air conditioner can be ensured.

[0072] Furthermore, when the main door panel 120 is in the closed position, the side door panel 130 is arranged on the peripheral side of the main door panel 120, and the accommodating cavity 111 has a rear wall surface 1111 opposite to the installation port 112. The main door panel 120 can move back and forth between the installation port 112 and the rear wall surface 1111 to switch between the closed position and the open position.

[0073] In this embodiment, the side door panel 130 is located on the peripheral side of the main door panel 120, which means that the side door panel 130 is located on the peripheral side of the main door panel 120 in the direction of the plate surface. This does not mean that the side door panel 130 always needs to be located on the same plane as the main door panel 120. The side door panel 130 and the main door panel 120 can also be located on different planes. It is only necessary to make the side door panel 130 located on the peripheral side of the main door panel 120 in the direction of the plate surface. When there is one side door panel 130, the side door panel 130 can be arranged only on one side of the main door panel 120, or the side door panel 130 can surround the peripheral side of the main door panel 120. When there are two side door panels 130, the side door panels 130 can be arranged on opposite sides of the main door panel 120, such as upper and lower sides, left and right sides, etc. When there are four side door panels 130, the four side door panels 130 can be arranged on the upper and lower sides, left and right sides of the main door panel 120, respectively.

[0074] Specifically, the main door panel 120 and the main body 110 are connected by sliding grooves and rails, gear racks 3, and pin shaft 141a grooves. The transmission connection can also be achieved through slider guide rods, gear set 1412 structures, connecting rod structures, push plates with inclined grooves, and other structures. It is only necessary to enable the main door panel 120 to translate forward and backward, and to translate inward to an open position hidden in the accommodating cavity 111 and translate outward to a closed position closing the installation opening 112. It can be understood that the main door panel 120 can be automatically driven to switch between the open position and the closed position through the driving member 1411, or the open position and the closed position of the main door panel 120 can be switched manually. The selection and design can be made according to actual needs.

[0075] When the main door panel 120 moves to the corresponding installation opening 112, the main door panel 120 is in the closed position, and when the main door panel 120 moves to the rear wall surface 111 close to the accommodating chamber 111, the main door panel 120 is in the open position. The main door panel 120 can move back and forth between the installation opening 112 and the rear wall surface 1111, that is, the main door panel 120 moves back and forth along the inner and outer directions of the installation opening 112 to switch between the closed position and the open position. Compared with the conventional main door panel 120 opening method, when the sub-machine 200 enters the accommodating chamber 111, it can move into the accommodating chamber 111 without waiting for the main door panel 120 to completely move to the open position. That is, the stroke of the sub-machine 200 entering the accommodating chamber 111 of the host 100 can be operated simultaneously with the opening stroke of the main door panel 120, which can reduce the waiting time for the sub-machine 200 to enter the warehouse and improve the user experience. When the sub-machine 200 needs to be moved out of the accommodating chamber 111, the sub-machine 200 and the main door panel 120 can be moved outward at the same time, or the sub-machine 200 can be moved outward first and then the main door panel 120 can be moved outward. When the sub-machine 200 is completely moved out of the accommodating chamber 111, the main door panel 120 can also be switched to a closed state to close the installation opening 112, and the side door panel 130 can be switched to a shielding position. When the sub-machine 200 is separated from the accommodating chamber 111, the main door panel 120 and the side door panel 130 can jointly close the installation opening 112, thereby ensuring the overall consistency of the front appearance of the main machine 100. Optionally, the movement of the sub-machine 200 out of the accommodating chamber 111 of the main machine 100 can be performed simultaneously with the closing movement of the main door panel 120. This ensures good overall action consistency, improves user experience, and allows the main door panel 120 to be closed without waiting for the sub-machine 200 to be completely moved out of the accommodating chamber 111, thereby effectively preventing debris or obstacles from entering the accommodating chamber 111 and ensuring smooth operation and stability of the entire machine.

[0076] Optionally, when the side door panel 130 is in the avoidance position and the main door panel 120 is switched from the closed position to the open position, the sub-machine 200 can be installed in the accommodating cavity 111 through the installation opening 112. That is, when the side door panel 130 is in the avoidance position and the main door panel 120 is translated inward to be hidden in the accommodating cavity 111, the installation opening 112 is fully opened, so that the sub-machine 200 can be installed in the accommodating cavity 111 through the installation opening 112. At this time, the side door panel 130 is switched to the shielding position, and the appearance surface of the sub-machine 200 and the side door panel 130 form the appearance surface of the entire accommodating cavity 111.

[0077] In one embodiment, when the side door plate 130 is in the shielding position, the side door plate 130 partially shields the sub-machine 200. Specifically, in the inner and outer directions of the mounting opening 112, the side door plate 130 is located outside the sub-machine 200. When the side door plate 130 is in the shielding position, the side door plate 130 can not only shield the gap between the outer periphery of the sub-machine 200 and the side wall surface of the accommodating chamber 111, but also partially shield the sub-machine 200. In this way, on the one hand, the side door plate 130 can play a limiting role, which can effectively prevent the sub-machine 200 from accidentally escaping from the accommodating chamber 111 when it is hit or subjected to other external forces. On the other hand, the side door plate 130 extends to partially shield the sub-machine 200. Compared with the side door plate 130 extending to abut the sub-machine 200, it can more effectively shield the gap between the sub-machine 200 and the side wall of the accommodating chamber 111, while reducing the control accuracy of the side door plate 130, thereby improving the effectiveness and reliability of the product.

[0078] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 3 to 12 , the side door panel 130 is rotatably mounted on the main body 110, and the rotation axis of the side door panel 130 extends in the up-down direction. By making the side door panel 130 rotatably connected to the main body 110, compared with making the side door panel 130 slidably connected to the main body 110, the moving path and the space required for the movement of the side door panel 130 can be shortened, thereby miniaturizing the air conditioner and improving product performance. In other embodiments, the side door panel 130 is slidably mounted on the main body 110 to switch between the shielding position and the avoidance position. Of course, the sliding track of the side door panel 130 can also be a straight path along the extension direction of its panel surface, or a curved path.

[0079] Furthermore, if Figures 3 to 14 As shown, the side end of the side door panel 130 is hinged to the main body 110 .

[0080] In this embodiment, a rotating shaft can be specifically provided at the side end of the side door panel 130, and an axis hole can be provided on the main machine body 110, so that the side door panel 130 is hinged to the main machine body 110. It can be understood that the side door panel 130 is usually provided in a rectangular shape. When the rotation axis of the side door panel 130 extends along the length direction of the side door panel 130, the side door panel 130 is turned outward as a whole to switch to the avoidance position, and is closed inward to switch to the shielding position. In this way, it is more conducive to the side door panel 130 to switch between the avoidance position and the shielding position. By extending the rotation axis of the side door panel 130 in the up-down direction, the side door panel 130 can block the gap between the left and right sides of the sub-machine 200 and the left and right peripheries of the mounting opening 112, which can more effectively prevent dust and debris from entering the accommodating cavity 111. Specifically, when the main door panel 120 is in the closed position, the side end of the side door panel 130 away from the main door panel 120 can be hinged to the main body 110. This can increase the effective opening area of ​​the side door panel 130, that is, when the side door panel 130 is in the avoidance position, the area of ​​the installation opening 112 is larger, which is more conducive to the sub-machine 200 being moved out of the installation opening 112 in the accommodating cavity 111.

[0081] In one embodiment, if Figures 1 to 14 As shown, the side door panel 130 is arranged at an angle with the main door panel 120. Specifically, the angle between the inner wall surface of the side door panel 130 and the inner wall surface of the main door panel 120 is greater than 90 degrees and less than 180 degrees. It is understandable that the side door panel 130 and the main door panel 120 cannot be at an angle of 90 degrees or less than 90 degrees, otherwise it is impossible to cover the gap between the outer periphery of the sub-machine 200 and the side wall of the accommodating chamber 111. In this way, compared with making the side door panel 130 and the main door panel 120 parallel, the width of the installation opening 112 can be reduced, thereby reducing the width of the entire accommodating chamber 111, making the accommodating chamber 111 smaller, and making the installation opening 112 exposed by the entire air conditioner smaller, so as to ensure the neatness and consistency of the appearance of the air conditioner.

[0082] Furthermore, the side door panel 130 is arranged in an arc shape, and when the main door panel 120 is in a closed position and the side door panel 130 is in a shielding position, the outer wall surface of the side door panel 130 transitions smoothly with the outer wall surface of the main door panel 120 .

[0083] In this embodiment, the side door panel 130 is arranged in an arc shape, that is, the side door panel 130 is an arc-shaped plate. Compared with the side door panel 130 being a flat plate structure, the appearance of the entire air conditioner is neater and smoother. When the main door panel 120 is in the closed position and the side door panel 130 is in the shielding position, the outer wall surface of the side door panel 130 smoothly transitions with the outer wall surface of the main door panel 120. On the one hand, the gap between the main door panel 120 and the side door panel 130 can be reduced, so that the side door panel 130 and the main door panel 120 can be more completely closed after the side door panel 130 and the main door panel 120 cooperate to effectively prevent dust and debris from entering the accommodating cavity 111. On the other hand, the overall appearance is neater and more beautiful. In other embodiments, the side door panel 130 can also be a flat plate structure.

[0084] In one embodiment, if Figures 1 to 14 As shown, a side door plate 130 is disposed on two opposite sides of the installation opening 112 , for example, a side door plate 130 is disposed on two opposite sides in the width direction.

[0085] It should be noted that the width direction of the installation opening 112 is specifically a direction perpendicular to the height direction of the accommodating chamber 111. Specifically, the installation opening 112 is arranged in a rectangular shape. By providing a side door panel 130 on each side of the width direction of the installation opening 112, the side door panel 130 extends along the length direction of the installation opening 112. In this way, when the sub-machine 200 is installed in the accommodating chamber 111, the side door panel 130 can completely block the gap between the outer periphery on the long side of the sub-machine 200 and the peripheral side wall of the accommodating chamber 111, so that the blocking range of the side door panel 130 is larger, and dust or debris can be more effectively prevented from entering the accommodating chamber 111.

[0086] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 13 to 17 The host 100 further includes a driving device 140, which is connected to the main door plate 120 to drive the main door plate 120 to reciprocate between a closed position and an open position.

[0087] In this embodiment, the direction of the installation port 112 is defined as the front, and the direction opposite to the direction of the installation port 112 is the rear. The driving device 140 can be installed on the left and right side walls of the accommodating chamber 111, or on the rear side wall of the accommodating chamber 111. The driving device 140 can be installed on the upper and lower side walls of the accommodating chamber 111. The structure and form of the driving device 140 can be many, as long as it can drive the main door panel 120 to move back and forth between the closed position and the open position. The specific structure of the driving device 140 is not limited here. The main door panel 120 is driven to move back and forth between the closed position and the open position by the driving device 140. Compared with manually switching the open and closed positions of the main door panel 120, the automatic switching of the main door panel 120 is realized, which has a high degree of automation and improves product quality and user experience. Optionally, the driving device 140 is a thin plate structure as a whole, which makes the overall structure compact and occupies less space.

[0088] On the basis of the above embodiments, further, Figures 3 to 16 As shown, the driving device 140 includes a driving mechanism 141 and a motion conversion mechanism 142. One end of the motion conversion mechanism 142 is connected to the main door panel 120, and the other end can be movably connected to the main body 110. The driving mechanism 141 is used to drive the motion conversion mechanism 142 to move so that the main door panel 120 can reciprocate between the installation port 112 and the rear wall 1111 of the accommodating cavity 111.

[0089] In this embodiment, the drive mechanism 141 can have many structures, specifically including a push plate with an inclined groove, a crank connecting rod mechanism or other connecting rod structure, a gear set 1412 structure, etc., to achieve driving the main door panel 120 to move in translation. The specific structure of the drive mechanism 141 can be selected and designed according to actual needs, and no specific limitation is made here. The motion conversion mechanism 142 can have many forms and structures. For example, the motion conversion mechanism 142 can include a guide shaft provided on the main door panel 120, and a guide groove extending inward and outward directions of the mounting opening 112 opened on the host body 110, and the guide shaft can be slidably installed in the guide groove to convert the motion of the main door panel 120 driven by the drive mechanism 141 in a certain direction into the inward or outward translation of the main door panel 120. Of course, the motion conversion mechanism 142 can also be in the form of an articulated frame 1421. In short, the motion conversion mechanism 142 can play a role in motion conversion, that is, the motion of the main door panel 120 driven by the driving mechanism 141 in a certain direction is converted into a translational motion in the inner and outer directions of the installation opening 112. In this way, the main door panel 120 can be effectively prevented from swinging, shaking, deviating from the track, etc. during the movement process, so that the process of the main door panel 120 moving in and out is smoother and more accurate. The connection method between the motion conversion mechanism 142 and the main door panel 120 can be designed according to the actual structure of the motion conversion mechanism 142, and is not specifically limited here.

[0090] For further information, please refer to Fig.14 and Fig.15 The motion conversion mechanism 142 includes an articulated frame 1421, one end of the articulated frame 1421 is connected to the inner wall surface of the main door panel 120, and the other end is connected to the host body 110;

[0091] The driving mechanism 141 is installed on the main body 110 and is in transmission connection with the main door panel 120, so as to drive the main door panel 120 to reciprocate between the installation opening 112 and the rear wall surface 1111 of the accommodating chamber 111 under the action of the telescopic movement of the hinge frame 1421; or,

[0092] The driving mechanism 141 drives the hinge frame 1421 to extend and retract, so that the main door panel 120 moves back and forth between the installation opening 112 and the rear wall surface 1111 of the accommodating chamber 111 .

[0093] In the present embodiment, it is understood that the articulated frame 1421 refers to a structure having at least two articulated arms articulated to each other. The articulated frame 1421 can have many structures and forms, which can be selected and designed according to actual needs, and are not listed here one by one. It is understood that the articulated frame 1421 can be telescopically movable along the inner and outer directions of the mounting opening 112 to have a retracted state and an extended state. When the articulated frame 1421 is in the retracted state, the main door panel 120 moves to fit or approach the rear side wall of the accommodating cavity 111, and the main door panel 120 is in an open position to open the mounting opening 112. When the articulated frame 1421 is in the extended state, the main door panel 120 moves outward to a closed position corresponding to the mounting opening 112. When the driving mechanism 141 is installed on the main body 110, the driving mechanism 141 drives the main door panel 120 to move, and the main door panel 120 is linearly translated in the front-back direction through the telescopic movement of the hinge frame 1421, which limits the up and down movement of the main door panel 120, making the translation movement of the main door panel 120 more stable and smooth. The driving mechanism 141 can also be installed on the main door panel 120, and the hinge frame 1421 can be directly driven by the driving mechanism 141 to telescopically move, so as to achieve the inward or outward translation of the main door panel 120. By setting the hinge frame 1421, the telescopic movement of the hinge frame 1421 is used to convert the movement of the driving mechanism 141 into the translation movement of the main door panel 120 in the inward and outward directions of the installation opening 112, the structure is stable and reliable, and when the main door panel 120 is in the open position, the space occupied by the accommodating cavity 111 is small, making the overall structure more compact and smaller in size.

[0094] In one embodiment, if Fig.15As shown, the articulated frame 1421 includes a first articulated arm 142a and a second articulated arm 142b which are hinged to each other in the middle. One end of the first articulated arm 142a is rotatably connected to the inner wall surface of the main door panel 120, and the other end is slidably connected to the main machine body 110 along a first direction. One end of the second articulated arm 142b is rotatably connected to the main machine body 110, and the other end is slidably connected to the inner wall surface of the main door panel 120 along a first direction. The first direction is set at an angle to the inner and outer directions of the mounting port 112.

[0095] In this embodiment, the host body 110 specifically further includes a back plate, which is mounted on the rear side wall of the accommodating cavity 111 corresponding to the main door panel 120. Then one end of the first hinge arm 142a is slidably connected to the back plate, and a section of the second hinge arm 142b is rotatably connected to the host body 110. Specifically, the first direction is the up-down direction, so that the upper end of the first hinge arm 142a can be rotatably connected to the main door panel 120, and the upper end of the second hinge arm 142b can be rotatably connected to the host body 110. Of course, the lower end of the first hinge arm 142a can also be rotatably connected to the host body 110, and the lower end of the second hinge arm 142b can be rotatably connected to the host body 110. In this way, the same end of the first hinge arm 142a and the second hinge arm 142b is restricted from moving up and down, while the other end can slide in the up and down direction, so that the main door panel 120 can be prevented from moving up and down relative to the main body 110 while ensuring the contraction movement of the hinge frame 1421, so that the main door panel 120 can be more accurately linearly translated along the inner and outer directions of the installation opening 112. In other embodiments, a third hinge arm can be provided, so that the first hinge arm 142a and the second hinge arm 142b are hinged through the third hinge arm. The number of the third hinge arm can be one or more, and can be selected and designed according to the actual travel of the main door panel 120.

[0096] On the basis of the above embodiment, further, a first hinge arm 142a is hinged on each side of the second hinge arm 142b. By hingedly connecting a first hinge arm 142a on each side of the second hinge arm 142b, the two first hinge arms 142a are rotatably connected to the inner wall surface of the main door panel 120 at the same time, so that the first hinge arm 142a supports the main door panel 120 more stably, and compared with only one first hinge arm 142a, it can support both sides of the main door panel 120 in the width direction (the direction perpendicular to the height direction of the accommodating cavity 111), so that the force on the width direction of the main door panel 120 is more uniform, and then the translation of the main door panel 120 is more stable, which can effectively prevent the main door panel 120 from tilting to one side during the movement and causing the jamming phenomenon.

[0097] For details, please refer to Fig.14 and Fig.15The first direction extends in the up-down direction, the inner wall surface of the main door panel 120 is provided with a first guide groove 121 extending in the up-down direction, the inner wall surface of the main body 110 relative to the main door panel 120 is provided with a second guide groove 113 extending in the up-down direction, one end of the second hinged arm 142b can be slidably installed in the first guide groove 121, and one end of the first hinged arm 142a can be slidably installed in the second guide groove 113.

[0098] In this embodiment, specifically, the upper end of the first hinge arm 142a is rotatably connected to the inner wall surface of the main door panel 120, and the upper end of the second hinge arm 142b is rotatably connected to the main body 110. Then, the lower end of the first hinge arm 142a is provided with a first sliding shaft, and the lower end of the second hinge arm 142b is provided with a second sliding shaft. The first sliding shaft is slidably installed in the first guide groove 121, and the second sliding shaft is slidably installed in the second guide groove 113. Specifically, the first guide groove 121 and the second guide groove 113 can be set through the width direction of the main door panel 120, the first sliding shaft passes through the first guide groove 121, and the second sliding shaft passes through the second guide groove 113. In this way, the first sliding shaft can be effectively prevented from falling off from the first guide groove 121, and the second sliding shaft can be effectively prevented from falling off from the second guide groove 113. By allowing one end of the second hinged arm 142b to be slidably installed in the first guide groove 121, and one end of the first hinged arm 142a to be slidably installed in the second guide groove 113, it is ensured that the hinged frame 1421 as a whole can be telescopically movable and the movement of the driving mechanism 141 is converted into the inward and outward translation of the main door panel 120. At the same time, the main door panel 120 can be effectively prevented from moving up and down, thereby making the translation of the main door panel 120 more precise.

[0099] In one embodiment, if Figures 13 to 17 As shown, the driving mechanism 141 is installed on the main body 110, and the driving mechanism 141 includes a driving member 1411 and a gear group 1412 that are transmission-connected, and a swing arm 1413 arranged on the gear group 1412. A pin shaft 141a is connected to the swing arm 1413, and a sliding groove 122 extending along the first direction is provided on the side wall of the main door panel 120, and the pin shaft 141a can be slidably installed in the sliding groove 122.

[0100] In this embodiment, the driving member 1411 can be a driving motor. The driving motor is small in size, light in weight, and has a large driving force. Of course, the driving member 1411 can also be other driving structures that can provide driving force. The gear set 1412 can include only one gear, or it can be composed of multiple gear sets 1412 to form a planetary gear set 1412. The number of gears and the transmission ratio between the multiple gears can be determined based on the relationship between the driving force of the driving member 1411 and the actual push-pull force required to push the main door panel 120, and no specific limitation is made here.

[0101] The swing arm 1413 is specifically a fixed rod. One end of the swing arm 1413 and the gear set 1412 can be integrally formed or separately formed, and the swing arm 1413 can be fixedly connected to the gear set 1412 by welding, screws, etc. The first direction is specifically extended in the up-down direction, so that the sliding groove 122 extends in the up-down direction, and the pin 141a passes through the sliding groove 122. The sliding groove 122 can be a through groove that penetrates the main door panel 120 in the thickness direction of the main door panel 120, or it can be a blind groove. By setting a pin shaft 141a at one end of the swing arm 1413 away from the gear set 1412, so that the pin shaft 141a passes through the sliding groove 122, when the driving member 1411 is working, the gear set 1412 is driven to rotate, thereby driving the swing arm 1413 to swing, and then the pin shaft 141a moves up and down in the sliding groove 122 to realize the inward or outward movement of the main door panel 120, and by making the gear set 1412 rotate in the opposite direction, the reverse movement of the main door panel 120 can be realized.

[0102] By only arranging a swing arm 1413 on the gear set 1412, arranging a pin 141a on the swing arm 1413, and arranging a sliding groove 122 extending along the first direction on the main door panel 120, so that the pin 141a passes through the sliding groove 122, the rotation of the gear set 1412 can be converted into the inward and outward movement of the main door panel 120. This transmission method has a simple structure and high operational reliability. Of course, in other embodiments, a slider can also be arranged on the swing arm 1413, and a sliding groove 122 along the first direction can be arranged on the main door panel 120. The slider is slidably connected in the sliding groove 122, so that when the gear set 1412 rotates, the slider on the swing arm 1413 is driven to move in the sliding groove 122 along the first direction, so that the main door panel 120 moves inward or outward. Other similar sliding structures are also within the protection scope of this embodiment, and are not listed here one by one.

[0103] Specifically, the sliding groove 122 is provided on the side wall surface of the main door panel 120, and the first direction is the up-down direction. It can be understood that since the main door panel 120 is generally a thin plate structure as a whole, the main door panel 120 extends in the up-down direction. By making the first direction the up-down direction, that is, the sliding groove 122 is a sliding groove 122 extending up and down on the left and right side walls of the main door panel 120. In this way, the size of the main door panel 120 in the up-down direction can be fully utilized to reduce the wall thickness of the main door panel 120. In addition, by making the sliding groove 122 extend in the up-down direction, that is, the pin shaft 141a moves up and down in the sliding groove 122. In this way, the driving mechanism 141 is entirely arranged on the left and right side walls of the accommodating chamber 111. Compared with arranging the driving mechanism 141 on the upper and lower side walls of the accommodating chamber 111, the space in the upper and lower directions of the accommodating chamber 111 can be fully utilized, so that the gear set 1412 and the swing arm 1413 have sufficient movement space to meet the moving stroke of the main door panel 120; and the dimensions of the accommodating chamber 111 in the width and length directions can be effectively reduced, thereby making the overall structure more compact, and the volume and occupied space smaller.

[0104] In one embodiment, please refer to Fig.15 and Fig.16 , a sliding groove 122 is respectively provided on two opposite side walls of the main door panel 120, and a driving mechanism 141 is correspondingly provided for each sliding groove 122. By providing two driving mechanisms 141, the two driving mechanisms 141 are respectively provided on two opposite side walls of the accommodating cavity 111, so that the two driving mechanisms 141 can simultaneously drive the main door panel 120 to translate inward and outward on the left and right sides of the main door panel 120, so that the movement of the main door panel 120 is more stable and smooth, and the main door panel 120 is prevented from tilting to one side and causing motion interference.

[0105] In one embodiment, if Fig.15 As shown, a rolling member 150 is provided at the bottom of the main door panel 120 , and the rolling member 150 abuts against the bottom wall of the accommodating cavity 111 .

[0106] In this embodiment, it can be understood that in order to make the main door panel 120 move forward and backward more smoothly, it is necessary to make the main door panel 120 and the bottom wall of the accommodating chamber 111 spaced apart. Since the main door panel 120 has a certain weight, the gravity of the main door panel 120 will act on the driving device 140, so that the driving device 140 needs a greater driving force to drive the main door panel 120 to move forward and backward, which will increase the energy consumption of the whole machine. By arranging a rolling member 150 at the bottom of the main door panel 120, the rolling member 150 abuts against the bottom wall of the accommodating chamber 111, and the gravity of the main door panel 120 acts on the rolling member 150, while ensuring that the main door panel 120 can move smoothly, the driving force of the driving device 140 to drive the main door panel 120 to move is reduced, which can improve the product performance and quality. The rolling member 150 may be a roller or a ball, such as a spherical ball, a cylindrical ball, etc. Of course, the rolling member 150 may also be other rolling structures, which are not specifically limited here. The number of the rolling member 150 may be one, and the rolling member 150 should be arranged in the middle of the width direction of the main door panel 120. The number of the rolling member 150 may also be two, and the rolling member 150 is arranged on both sides of the width direction of the main door panel 120. The number of the rolling member 150 may also be three or more, and the rolling member 150 is evenly distributed along the main door panel 120 at the bottom of the main door panel 120. The number of the rolling member 150 can be selected and designed according to actual needs, which is not specifically limited here.

[0107] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 , Fig. 9 and Fig.11 The slave 200 includes a control device and a moving device 210 , and the control device is used to control the moving device 210 to drive the slave 200 to move.

[0108] In this embodiment, the mobile device 210 can be specifically a driving wheel plus a universal wheel, a roller plus a turntable, etc., so that the mobile device 210 can drive the slave 200 to move and turn, thereby realizing multi-directional movement in the entire room. The control device can be specifically installed on or in the shell of the slave 200, and the user can send a signal to the control device by wireless transmission or infrared remote control, thereby controlling the movement of the mobile device 210. A program can also be written into the control mainboard to enable the slave 200 to move autonomously. It can be understood that the movement of the slave 200 can be controlled in real time by remote control, mobile phone APP remote control, etc., or the position, time, and movement path of the slave 200 can be preset. It is also possible to set an obstacle avoidance sensor such as an infrared sensor and an ultrasonic sensor on the slave 200 so that the slave 200 can autonomously avoid obstacles and turn to move, and the control device controls the slave 200 to have multiple action modes, so that the slave 200 is equivalent to an air-conditioning robot, which can adjust the moving direction according to the feedback of the indoor environment, and autonomously plan the walking route to ensure that the slave 200 can avoid obstacles and walk flexibly. It is also possible to set up temperature, humidity or pollutant sensors so that the slave 200 can detect the environmental status of a certain area during its movement, so that it can independently determine whether to leave or stay to continue air treatment. Of course, it is also possible to set up a visual sensor on the slave 200, so that the slave 200 can move to shoot a panoramic image of the room, and upload it to the cloud system, so that the user can observe the movement of the slave 200 at any time through smart devices such as mobile phones, tablets, and computers. Of course, the above control device can also be used to control the slave 200 to detach from the host 100.

[0109] In actual application, the slave 200 also has a power supply, which includes a battery and a charging module. The battery is used to store the electric energy of the charging module and is connected to the control device. The charging module can be a wireless charging module, a power electrode sheet, a direct charging module, etc. Then, when the power of the slave 200 is insufficient, wireless charging, contact charging, or prompting the user to charge can be realized. The slave 200 can automatically return to the host 100 for charging, or a charging seat can be set up separately for charging. The slave 200 can realize automatic positioning and movement to engage with the charging seat for charging through a positioning device. The electric energy is stored in the battery, so the slave 200 can continue to work after charging, with a long battery life and good battery life.

[0110] The above descriptions are only optional embodiments of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the patent scope of the present invention. All equivalent structural changes made using the contents of the present invention's specification and drawings, or directly / indirectly applied in other related technical fields, are included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
