Detailed Implementation

[0022] To make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0023] First Embodiment

[0024] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 This embodiment provides an installation structure 100, which is mainly used on air conditioners. The installation structure 100 provided in this embodiment is simple to install and easy to disassemble, reducing the installation process of the connector 110 and making it easy to operate.

[0025] The mounting structure 100 is installed on the indoor unit of the air conditioner. The mounting base 140 is mainly used to install electrical components. Different electrical components are connected using connecting terminals. When installing the connecting terminals on the mounting base 140, the connecting terminals are usually installed on the connector 110, and then the connector 110 is installed on the mounting base 140. Currently, most existing installation methods use clips on the mounting base 140 to fix the connector 110 to the mounting base 140. However, this fixing method is complex and difficult to install and disassemble. The mounting structure 100 provided in this embodiment improves upon these problems. The mounting structure 100 provided in this embodiment has a simple installation method, is easy to install and disassemble, reduces the steps involved in installing the connector 110, and is convenient to operate.

[0026] In this embodiment, the mounting structure 100 includes: a connector 110, a mounting base 140, a fixing member 120, and a positioning member 130. The mounting base 140 is provided with a mounting groove 142. The fixing member 120 and the positioning member 130 are mounted on the mounting groove 142. The connector 110 can slide relative to the fixing member 120. After sliding into place, the positioning member 130 cooperates with the connector 110 to fix the connector 110 in the mounting groove 142.

[0027] In this embodiment, the connector 110 is mainly used to install the connecting terminal. The connector 110 then installs the connecting terminal onto the mounting base 140. During the installation process, the connector 110 is first placed on the fixing member 120 and slides relative to the fixing member 120. After sliding into place, the positioning member 130 cooperates with the connector 110, thereby fixing the connector 110 in the mounting groove 142. In this embodiment, the connector 110, which uses a sliding method to assemble and install the connecting terminal, has a simple installation method, is easy to assemble and disassemble, reduces the installation steps of the connector 110, and is easy to operate.

[0028] In this embodiment, the cross-sectional area of ​​the mounting groove 142 is approximately rectangular. For ease of description, the two sides of the mounting groove 142 in the length direction are defined as end walls, and the two sides in the width direction are defined as side walls.

[0029] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 4 In this embodiment, the connector 110 includes a sliding part 112 and a body 111. The sliding part 112 is disposed on the body 111. The sliding part 112 can slide relative to the fixing member 120. After sliding into place, the positioning member 130 cooperates with the sliding part 112.

[0030] The sliding part 112 is arranged around the body 111. When the connector 110 is installed in the mounting groove 142, the sliding part 112 cooperates with the fixing part 120 and slides relative to the fixing part 120 under the action of external force. When the connector 110 slides into place relative to the sliding part, the positioning part 130 abuts against the connector 110, thereby fixing the connector 110 in the mounting groove 142.

[0031] In this embodiment, the fixing member 120 includes a first segment 122 and a second segment 124. The first segment 122 is disposed on the side wall of the mounting groove 142, and the second segment 124 is disposed on the end wall of the mounting groove 142. The first segment 122 is disposed close to the positioning member 130.

[0032] In this embodiment, there are two first segments 122, symmetrically arranged on the two side walls of the mounting groove 142. The positioning member 130 is arranged on one end wall of the mounting groove 142, and the second segment 124 is arranged on the other end wall of the mounting groove 142. The first segments 122 and the second segments 124 are installed at the same height. First, the entire connector 110 is placed on the first segment 122, and the entire connector 110 is pushed towards the second segment 124 along the extension direction of the first segment 122. When the sliding part 112 slides to engage with the second segment 124 and contact the end wall of the mounting groove 142, the positioning member 130 and the end wall of the mounting groove 142 fix the connector 110 from both sides, thereby fixing the connector 110 to the mounting groove 142.

[0033] In this embodiment, the fixing member 120 also includes a third segment 126, which is disposed on the end wall away from the second segment 124. During the installation of the connector 110, the sliding part 112 is first placed on the first segment 122 and the third segment 126. Under the action of external force, the connector 110 slides towards the second segment 124 and gradually disengages from the third segment 126 and gradually engages with the second segment 124.

[0034] In this embodiment, the sliding part 112 includes a first baffle 113 and a second baffle 114, which are spaced apart on the body 111. The first baffle 113, the second baffle 114, and the body 111 form a sliding groove 115, which can slide relative to the fixing member 120. The second baffle 114 is provided with a connection port 116, which allows the first segment 122 to be accommodated within the sliding groove 115.

[0035] The first baffle 113 is positioned above the second baffle 114. During the process of placing the connector 110 onto the fixing member 120, the first segment 122 passes through the connection port 116 and engages with the first baffle 113. In other words, the first segment 122 is accommodated within the sliding groove 115 and engages with the first baffle 113. During the sliding process, the first baffle 113 and the first segment 122 slide relative to each other.

[0036] In this embodiment, the first segment 122 is housed in the sliding groove 115. During the sliding process of the connector 110 relative to the mounting groove 142, the sliding groove 115 can limit the first segment 122, thereby improving the stability of the connector 110 sliding relative to the fixing member 120.

[0037] In this embodiment, since the length of the mounting groove 142 is limited and the length of the connector 110 is not much different from the length of the mounting groove 142, the end of the sliding groove 115 cannot be directly connected to the end of the first segment 122 during the installation of the connector 110. In order to enable the first segment 122 to be quickly accommodated in the sliding groove 115, a connection port 116 is provided on the second baffle 114 so that the first segment 122 can be accommodated in the sliding groove 115, thereby improving the stability of the sliding between the connector 110 and the fixing member 120.

[0038] The opening of the connector 116 is larger than the length of the first segment 122. The length of the first segment 122 is smaller than the opening length of the connector 116. When the connector 110 is placed on the fixing member 120, the first segment 122 can directly pass through the connector 116 and enter the sliding groove 115, and abut against the first baffle 113.

[0039] In this embodiment, the sliding part 112 further includes a stop plate 118, which is connected to the end of the first stop plate 113 and the second stop plate 114 near the positioning member 130.

[0040] In this embodiment, the stop plate 118 and the first baffle 113 and the second baffle 114 are close to the end of the positioning member 130. It can be considered that the stop plate 118 seals one end of the sliding groove 115. When the connecting member 110 slides into place relative to the fixing member 120, the stop plate 118 and the end of the first segment 122 close to the positioning member 130 are supported by the supporting force of the positioning member 130.

[0041] It can be considered that the stop plate 118 seals the end of the sliding groove 115 away from the second section 124, which can prevent the first section 122 from sliding out from the side of the sliding groove 115 away from the second section 124 during the sliding process, thereby improving the stability during the sliding process.

[0042] In this embodiment, the height of the third segment 126 is lower than that of the first segment 122 and the second segment 124. During the installation of the connector 110, the second baffle 114 is placed on the third segment 126, and the first segment 122 passes through the connection port 116, so that the first baffle 113 is placed on the first segment 122. The entire connector 110 is pushed to slide towards the second segment 124, so that the second segment 124 is gradually inserted into the sliding groove 115 until the positioning member 130 abuts against the connector 110, fixing the connector 110 on the mounting base 140.

[0043] Conversely, during the disassembly of connector 110, the positioning member 130 is first disengaged from connector 110, and connector 110 is pushed to slide towards the third segment 126. When the first segment 122 slides to correspond with the connection port 116, connector 110 can be removed from mounting base 140.

[0044] The first segment 122 corresponding to the connection port 116 means that the first segment 122 and the connection port 116 are completely overlapped. When the first segment 122 and the connection port 116 are completely overlapped, the first segment 122 can be disengaged from the connection port 116 and go outside the sliding groove 115.

[0045] Similarly, the connector 110 is generally rectangular, the first baffle 113 and the second baffle 114 are arranged around three sides of the body 111, and the stop baffle 118 is arranged on the other side of the body 111.

[0046] Please see Figure 4 and Figure 5In this embodiment, the positioning member 130 includes a connecting part 132 and a holding part 134 that are connected to each other. The end of the connecting part 132 away from the holding part 134 is connected to the end wall of the mounting groove 142. When the connecting member 110 slides into place relative to the fixing member 120, the holding part 134 abuts against the connecting member 110.

[0047] In this embodiment, during the installation of the connector 110, the retaining part 134 initially abuts against the first baffle 113. As the connector 110 gradually slides, the retaining part 134 disengages from the first baffle 113. That is, the disengagement of the retaining part 134 from the first baffle 113 indicates that the connector 110 has slid into place relative to the fixing member 120. After the retaining part 134 disengages from the first baffle 113, it abuts against the stop plate 118, thereby fixing the connector 110 onto the mounting base 140.

[0048] In this embodiment, the connector 110 is provided with a relief groove 117. When the sliding part 112 slides into place relative to the fixing part 120, the positioning part 130 disengages from the relief groove 117.

[0049] In this embodiment, the clearance groove 117 is provided on the first baffle 113.

[0050] In this design, at least one of the connecting portion 132 or the retaining portion 134 has a certain degree of elasticity. During the sliding process of the connecting member 110 relative to the fixing member 120, the connecting portion 132 or the retaining portion 134 undergoes a certain deformation under the abutting force of the first baffle 113. After the retaining portion 134 disengages from the first baffle 113, the restoring force of the connecting portion 132 or the retaining portion 134 causes the retaining portion 134 to abut against the stop plate 118, thereby fixing the connecting member 110 on the mounting base 140.

[0051] When the connector 110 is placed on the first segment 122 and the second segment 124, the retaining part 134 is disposed in the relief groove 117. During the installation of the connector 110, the entire connector 110 is gradually pushed towards the second segment 124, and the retaining part 134 gradually disengages from the relief groove 117 and abuts against the first baffle 113. After the retaining part 134 disengages from the first baffle 113, it indicates that the connector has slid into place, thereby fixing the connector 110 on the mounting base 140.

[0052] Similarly, during the disassembly of connector 110, an external force is applied to the connecting part 132 to disengage the retaining part 134 from the stop plate 118, and the connector 110 is pushed toward the first section 122, so that the sliding groove 115 disengages from the second section 124. When the first section 122 slides to correspond with the connecting port 116, the connector 110 can be removed from the mounting base 140.

[0053] In this embodiment, the holding part 134 has a holding surface 136 on the side near the sliding part 112, and the connector 110 is provided with a sliding surface 119, the shape of the sliding surface 119 being adapted to the shape of the holding surface 136.

[0054] In this embodiment, both the retaining surface 136 and the sliding surface 119 are inclined. During the installation of the connector 110, when the connector 110 is placed on the first segment 122 and the third segment 126, the retaining surface 136 is just accommodated in the relief groove 117. Under the action of external force, the connector 110 is dragged towards the second segment 124. The retaining surface 136 slides relative to the sliding surface 119 and abuts the retaining part 134 to move away from the relief groove 117. After the retaining part 134 slides out of the relief groove 117, it continues to slide relative to the first baffle 113 until it is disengaged from the first baffle 113 and then abuts against the stop baffle 118.

[0055] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The working principle of the installation structure 100 provided in this embodiment is as follows: In this embodiment, during the installation of the connector 110, when the connector 110 is placed on the first segment 122 and the third segment 126, the retaining surface 136 is just accommodated in the relief groove 117, and under the action of external force, the entire connector 110 is pushed towards the second segment 124. The retaining surface 136 slides relative to the sliding surface 119 and abuts against the retaining part 134 to move away from the relief groove 117. The sliding groove 115 gradually cooperates with the second segment 124. After the retaining part 134 slides out of the relief groove 117, it continues to slide relative to the first baffle 113 until it disengages from the first baffle 113 and abuts against the stop baffle 118.

[0056] When disassembling the connector 110, an external force is applied to the connecting part 132 to disengage the retaining part 134 from the stop plate 118 and push the connector 110 toward the first section 122 so that the sliding groove 115 disengages from the second section 124. When the first section 122 slides to correspond with the connecting port 116, the connector 110 can be removed from the mounting base 140.

[0057] In summary, the installation structure 100 provided in this embodiment, in this embodiment, the connector 110 is mainly used to install the connecting terminal. The connector 110 then installs the connecting terminal on the mounting base 140. During the installation process, the connector 110 is first placed on the fixing member 120 and slides relative to the fixing member 120. After sliding into place, the positioning member 130 cooperates with the connector 110, thereby fixing the connector 110 in the mounting groove 142. In this embodiment, the connector 110, which uses a sliding method to assemble and install the connecting terminal, has a simple installation method, is easy to assemble and disassemble, reduces the installation steps of the connector 110, and is easy to operate.
