Detailed Implementation

[0030] 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.

[0031] First Embodiment

[0032] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The radar structure 100 provided in this embodiment can reduce the risk of the mounting box 110 detaching from the panel 120 and improve the fixing effect between the mounting box 110 and the panel 120.

[0033] The radar structure 100 is applied to an air conditioner, primarily for detecting the location information of users indoors. The air conditioner can then control the airflow direction and position based on this location information. The radar 130's main working principle is to determine the user's location information by emitting electromagnetic waves and detecting the reflected waves. Currently, the mounting box 110 and panel 120 of the existing radar 130 are not well-fixed, and detachment is common. The radar structure 100 provided in this embodiment improves upon these issues, reducing the risk of the mounting box 110 detaching from the panel 120 and enhancing the fixation between the mounting box 110 and the panel 120.

[0034] In this embodiment, the radar structure 100 includes a mounting box 110, a radar 130, and a panel 120. The radar 130 is mounted on the mounting box 110. The mounting box 110 is provided with a first holding part 112 and a first fixing part 114. The panel 120 is provided with a second holding part 122 and a second fixing part 124. The first holding part 112 and the second holding part 122 are engaged, and the first fixing part 114 and the second fixing part 124 are detachably fixed.

[0035] In this embodiment, the radar 130 is mounted on the mounting box 110, which is fixedly connected to the panel 120, thereby fixing the radar 130 to the panel 120. This allows the electromagnetic waves emitted by the radar 130 to pass through the panel 120 and detect the user's location information. The first retaining part 112 and the second retaining part 122 are engaged, and then the first fixing part 114 and the second fixing part 124 are detachably fixed, reducing the risk of the mounting box 110 detaching from the panel 120 and improving the fixing effect between the mounting box 110 and the panel 120.

[0036] In this embodiment, the mounting box 110 is generally rectangular, with its length direction as the end and its width direction as the side. When the mounting box 110 is fixed to the panel 120, the upper part of the mounting box 110 on the panel 120 is the upper end, the lower part is the lower end, and the two sides are the side.

[0037] The first retaining part 112 and the second retaining part 122 secure the mounting box 110 and the panel 120 from the lower end of the mounting box 110, and the first fixing part 114 and the second fixing part 124 secure the mounting box 110 and the panel 120 from the upper end of the mounting box 110. That is, the first retaining part 112 is located at the lower end of the mounting box 110, and the first fixing part 114 is located at the upper end of the mounting box 110.

[0038] The first holding part 112 cooperates with the second holding part 122, and the first fixing part 114 cooperates with the second fixing part 124 to fix the mounting box 110 from both ends of the length direction. This can improve the fixing effect of the mounting box 110, avoid the mounting box 110 from being too long, and reduce the problem of the mounting box 110 tilting in the length direction.

[0039] Of course, in other embodiments of the present invention, the first holding part 112 may be disposed above the mounting box 110 and the first fixing part 114 may be disposed below the mounting box 110. Any scheme that is equivalent to this embodiment and can achieve the effect of this embodiment is within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0040] Please see Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 In this embodiment, the second holding part 122 has a first holding groove 1221, and the first holding part 112 includes a first holding section 1121, which cooperates with the first holding groove 1221.

[0041] During the process of fixing the mounting box 110 to the panel 120, the first retaining segment 1121 is first inserted into the first retaining slot 1221, and then the first fixing part 114 and the second fixing part 124 are fixedly connected, thereby fixing the mounting box 110 to the panel 120.

[0042] In this embodiment, the second holding part 122 includes a first connecting segment 1223, a second connecting segment 1225 and a third connecting segment 1227 connected in sequence. The end of the first connecting segment 1223 away from the second connecting segment 1225 is connected to the mounting box 110, and the end of the third connecting segment 1227 away from the second connecting segment 1225 is connected to the mounting box 110.

[0043] The first connecting segment 1223, the second connecting segment 1225 and the third connecting segment 1227 together with the panel 120 form a first retaining groove 1221, wherein the second connecting segment 1225 is spaced apart from the panel 120.

[0044] The second connecting section 1225 is provided with a first guide surface 1229. During the process of the first holding section 1121 gradually extending into the first holding groove 1221, the first guide surface 1229 can play a guiding role, so that the first holding section 1121 can gradually extend into the first holding groove 1221.

[0045] Furthermore, in order to improve the fit between the mounting box 110 and the panel 120, the first retaining section 1121 can be interference-fitted with the first retaining slot 1221.

[0046] In this embodiment, the first holding part 112 further includes a second holding section 1123, which is spaced apart from the first holding section 1121 and forms a second holding groove 1125. The second connecting section 1225 is disposed in the second holding groove 1125.

[0047] In this embodiment, the first retaining segment 1121 is disposed within the first retaining groove 1221, and the second connecting segment 1225 is disposed within the second retaining groove 1125. In other words, the first retaining portion 112 and the second retaining portion 122 extend into each other, and the first retaining portion 112 and the second retaining portion 122 retain each other. This mutual retaining method improves the positioning effect between the mounting box 110 and the panel 120, and reduces the risk of the first retaining portion 112 and the second retaining portion 122 falling off.

[0048] Similarly, a second guide surface 1127 is provided on the second holding section 1123. As the second connecting section 1225 gradually extends into the second holding groove 1125, the second connecting section 1225 slides relative to the second guide surface 1127, so that the second connecting section 1225 gradually slides into the second holding groove 1125.

[0049] In this embodiment, the length of the first guide surface 1229 is equal to the length of the second guide surface 1127. During the sliding process of the first holding segment 1121 relative to the first guide surface 1229, the second connecting segment 1225 simultaneously slides relative to the second guide surface 1127. When the first holding segment 1121 disengages from the first guide surface 1229, the second connecting segment 1225 disengages from the second guide surface 1127, causing the first holding segment 1121 to engage in the first holding groove 1221, and the second connecting segment 1225 to engage in the second holding groove 1125.

[0050] Please see Figure 4 and Figure 6 In this embodiment, the radar structure 100 also includes a fixing member. The first fixing part 114 is provided with a first fixing hole 1142, and the second fixing part 124 is provided with a second fixing hole 1242. The fixing member cooperates with the first fixing hole 1142 and the second fixing hole 1242.

[0051] The fastener is a bolt. The first fixing hole 1142 and the second fixing hole 1242 are both bolt holes. The bolt cooperates with the first fixing hole 1142 and the second fixing hole 1242 to detachably fix the first fixing part 114 and the second fixing part 124.

[0052] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the fastener is a bolt, but it is not limited to this. In other embodiments of the present invention, the fastener can be a snap fastener, which cooperates with the first fixing hole 1142 and the second fixing hole 1242, so that the first fixing part 114 and the second fixing part 124 are detachably fixedly connected.

[0053] In this embodiment, the mounting box 110 and the panel 120 form a mounting cavity 140, and the radar 130 is disposed in the mounting cavity 140.

[0054] By placing the radar 130 inside the mounting cavity 140, the impact of dust and other impurities entering the air conditioner on the radar 130 can be reduced, thereby improving the working effect and service life of the radar 130.

[0055] In this embodiment, a sealing element 150 is provided on the panel 120. The sealing element 150 is arranged around the mounting box 110 to seal the mounting box 110 and prevent impurities from entering the mounting cavity 140, damaging the radar 130, and affecting the working effect and service life of the radar 130.

[0056] Please see Figure 7 and Figure 8 In this embodiment, a stop portion 116 is provided inside the mounting box 110, and the stop portion 116 cooperates with the radar 130. The stop portion 116 has a stop groove 1166, and one end of the radar 130 is disposed in the stop groove 1166.

[0057] In this embodiment, the stop portion 116 includes a connecting section 1162 and a stop section 1164. One end of the connecting section 1162 is connected to the mounting box 110, and the other end is connected to the stop section 1164. The stop section 1164 cooperates with the end of the radar 130 away from the panel 120.

[0058] The connecting section 1162 and the stop section 1164 form a stop groove 1166 with the mounting box 110. The end of the radar 130 away from the panel 120 is disposed in the stop groove 1166 and cooperates with the stop part 116. The stop part 116 has a stop surface 1168, which is in contact with the radar 130 and is inclined relative to the panel 120.

[0059] In this embodiment, the stop surface 1168 is disposed on the side of the stop section 1164 near the stop groove 1166, and the radar 130 is installed in the stop groove 1166. The side with the transmitting part is in contact with the stop surface 1168, so that the radar 130 can be tilted relative to the panel 120.

[0060] Please see Figure 9In this embodiment, the mounting box 110 is provided with a first limiting part 118 and a second limiting part 119, and the radar 130 is provided with a first limiting port 132 and a second limiting port 134. The first limiting part 118 cooperates with the first limiting port 132, and the second limiting part 119 cooperates with the second limiting port 134.

[0061] In this embodiment, to improve the fixing effect of the radar 130, the first limiting part 118 and the second limiting part 119 are respectively disposed on both sides of the radar 130, fixing the radar 130 from both sides respectively. The first limiting part 118 is disposed at the first limiting port 132, and the second limiting part 119 is disposed at the second limiting port 134. This allows the radar 130 to be fixed by the cooperation of the first limiting port 132 with the first limiting part 118 and by the fixation of the second limiting port 134 with the second limiting part 119, thereby improving the fixing effect of the radar 130.

[0062] In this embodiment, the first limiting part 118 is disposed near the top of the radar 130, and the second limiting part 119 is disposed between the first limiting part 118 and the stop part 116. The first limiting part 118 and the second limiting part 119 fix the radar 130 from different positions of the radar 130, thereby improving the fixing effect between the radar 130 and the mounting box 110.

[0063] Please see Figure 10 In this embodiment, the first limiting part 118 includes a first limiting segment 1182 and a first transition segment 1184. One end of the first transition segment 1184 is connected to the mounting box 110, and the other end is connected to the first limiting segment 1182, so that the first limiting segment 1182 and the mounting box 110 are spaced apart to form a first limiting gap 1186. The radar 130 is disposed in the first limiting gap 1186 and fits against the first limiting segment 1182.

[0064] Please see Figure 11 Similarly, the second limiting part 119 includes a second limiting section 1192 and a second transition section 1194. One end of the second transition section 1194 is connected to the mounting box 110, and the other end is connected to the second limiting section 1192, so that the second limiting section 1192 and the mounting box 110 are spaced apart to form a second limiting gap 1196. The radar 130 is disposed in the second limiting gap 1196 and fits against the second limiting section 1192.

[0065] In this embodiment, since the radar 130 is relatively long, different parts of the radar 130 need to be fixed separately during the process of fixing the radar 130 to the mounting box 110, so as to improve the fixing effect of the radar 130 and reduce the risk of the radar 130 falling off the mounting box 110.

[0066] In this embodiment, a first sliding surface 1188 is provided on the first limiting part 118, and a second sliding surface 1198 is provided on the second limiting part 119. When the radar 130 disengages from the first sliding surface 1188, the radar 130 is engaged within the first limiting gap 1186. When the radar 130 disengages from the second sliding door, the radar 130 is engaged within the second limiting gap 1196.

[0067] In this embodiment, during the process of installing the radar 130 onto the mounting box 110, the radar 130 is first inserted into the stop groove 1166, and a downward force is applied to the radar 130 to make the radar 130 slide relative to the first sliding surface 1188 and the second sliding surface 1198. After the radar 130 disengages from the first sliding door and the second sliding door, the radar 130 is respectively inserted into the first limiting gap 1186 and the second limiting gap 1196.

[0068] In this embodiment, the stop groove 1166 can limit the bottom of the radar 130, and the first limiting part 118 and the second limiting part 119 can limit the radar 130 on both sides, thereby fixing the radar 130 on the mounting box 110 and improving the fixing effect of the radar 130.

[0069] In this embodiment, the panel 120 is rectangular, and the mounting box 110 is disposed near the center of the panel 120.

[0070] In this embodiment, the center position of panel 120 refers to the geometric center of panel 120. By roughly placing the mounting box 110 near the center position of panel 120, the radar 130 will not have a large left and right sweeping range during the process of recognizing people, and the two sides will remain consistent, resulting in better sensitivity.

[0071] Preferred, the mounting box 110 is positioned at the center of the panel 120, meaning that the distances from the left and right ends of the mounting box 110 to the left and right ends of the panel 120 are equal, and similarly, the distances from the top and bottom ends of the mounting box 110 to the top and bottom ends of the panel 120 are also equal. The working principle of the radar structure 100 provided in this embodiment is as follows: In this embodiment, during the process of installing the radar 130 onto the mounting box 110, the radar 130 is first inserted into the stop groove 1166, and a downward force is applied to the radar 130, causing the radar 130 to slide relative to the first sliding surface 1188 and the second sliding surface 1198. After the radar 130 disengages from the first and second sliding doors, the radar 130 is respectively engaged in the first limiting gap 1186 and the second limiting gap 1196, thus fixing the radar 130 onto the mounting box 110. Next, slide the first retaining segment 1121 of the mounting box 110 relative to the first guide surface 1229, so that the first retaining segment 1121 is engaged in the first retaining groove 1221, and the second retaining segment 1123 is engaged in the second retaining groove 1125. Then, detachably fix the first fixing part 114 and the second fixing part 124.

[0072] In summary, the radar structure 100 provided in this embodiment has a radar 130 mounted on a mounting box 110, which is fixedly connected to a panel 120, thereby fixing the radar 130 to the panel 120. This allows the electromagnetic waves emitted by the radar 130 to pass through the panel 120 and detect the user's location information. Specifically, after the first retaining part 112 and the second retaining part 122 engage, they are detachably fixed by the first fixing part 114 and the second fixing part 124, reducing the risk of the mounting box 110 detaching from the panel 120 and improving the fixing effect between the mounting box 110 and the panel 120.

[0073] Second Embodiment
