Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of air conditioner technology, and more particularly to a wall-mounted air conditioner. Background Technology

[0002] As people's living standards improve, they are paying more and more attention to cleanliness and health. The filter in an air conditioner is responsible for filtering the air, adsorbing air pollutants such as dust and lint. Over time, the accumulation of these pollutants leads to a decline in air conditioner performance and can cause secondary air pollution, seriously affecting the user experience. Therefore, maintaining the cleanliness of air conditioner filters is receiving increasing attention from both users and manufacturers.

[0003] Because of the height restrictions after wall-mounted air conditioners are installed, it is difficult for customers to clean them manually, and improper operation can easily lead to injuries to users.

[0004] Therefore, automatic filter cleaning is particularly important. As a key component in automatic filter cleaning, the dust collection box has the function of cleaning and collecting dust. At the same time, the dust collection box needs to be easy to disassemble and install, and also needs to be reliable in installation.

[0005] The existing installation of air conditioner dust collection box components usually uses two or more pins for fixing. This method is reliable and can fix the dust collection box components well, but it requires two or more parts for fixing, which leads to a decrease in the efficiency of the whole machine assembly. It also leads to an increase in the number of new molds and materials, and increases production costs and the burden of material transportation and management. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To overcome the problems existing in related technologies, this invention proposes a wall-mounted air conditioner.

[0007] This invention provides a wall-mounted air conditioner, comprising:

[0008] The main body has mounting slots on its top that extend along the left-right direction.

[0009] The outer cover is installed on the rear side of the mounting slot and covers the rear surface of the machine body along the height direction. The top of the outer cover is provided with a limiting guide rail along the left and right direction of the machine body, and the limiting guide rail forms a limiting slot facing the mounting slot.

[0010] The dust collection box component is installed in the mounting slot and positioned near the front end of the mounting slot;

[0011] A fixing plate is installed in the mounting slot and located between the outer cover and the dust collection box component; the fixing plate has a rotating shaft on one side in the front-rear direction, and the rotating shaft is rotatably installed in the limiting guide rail of the outer cover through the limiting slot. The fixing plate can rotate with the rotating shaft to have an open or closed state.

[0012] The fixing plate has a flexible buckle facing the dust collection box component on the side near the dust collection box component, and the dust collection box component has a locking opening that cooperates with the flexible buckle on the side facing the fixing plate;

[0013] The motor bracket structure includes an intermediate motor bracket, which is embedded in the snap-fit ​​opening of the dust collection box component and can be engaged with the elastic buckle and the snap-fit ​​opening respectively to limit the upper and lower positions of the fixing plate and the dust collection box component.

[0014] The elastic buckle is inserted into the locking opening and pressed against the bottom edge of the locking opening. The intermediate motor bracket is embedded in the locking opening of the dust collection box component and pressed against the top of the elastic buckle. The upper edge of the locking opening is pressed against the top of the intermediate motor bracket. The end of the fixing plate near the dust collection box component is pressed against the upper edge of the dust collection box component.

[0015] In the above technical solution, when the fixed plate is in the closed state, a force is applied to the fixed plate towards the locking opening, causing the elastic buckle on the fixed plate to engage in the locking opening. At the same time, the upper edge of the elastic buckle abuts against the intermediate motor bracket, which can restrict the translation and rotation of the fixed plate. The fixed plate limits the dust collection box component in the vertical direction of the machine body. Applying a force to the fixed plate away from the locking opening causes the elastic buckle on the fixed plate to disengage from the locking opening, which can release the limitation on the dust collection box component in the vertical direction of the machine body.

[0016] In the above technical solution, the snap-fit ​​opening includes an opening formed on the dust collection box component, and a horizontal rib is formed at the opening;

[0017] When the elastic buckle on the fixed plate rotates to the position opposite to the engagement opening, a force is applied to the fixed plate towards one side of the engagement opening. The elastic buckle on the fixed plate can be translatably embedded in the engagement opening and engaged with the horizontal rib.

[0018] In the above technical solution, the intermediate motor bracket is provided with a slot;

[0019] When the fixing plate is in the closed state, a force is applied to the fixing plate towards the locking opening, and the elastic buckle on the fixing plate engages in the locking opening and cooperates with the slot of the intermediate motor bracket.

[0020] In the above technical solution, a clearance groove is provided on the fixing plate, and a pressure plate is provided on the dust collection box component;

[0021] When the elastic buckle is inserted into the horizontal rib in the engagement slot, the pressure plate and the relief groove work together to press against the surface of the fixed plate.

[0022] In the above technical solution, the rotating shaft includes a flat shaft section;

[0023] The limiting slot on the limiting guide rail includes a first slot and a second slot. A connecting hole is provided between the first slot and the second slot. The diameter of the connecting hole is smaller than the diameter of the first slot and the second slot. The flat shaft section of the rotating shaft can be engaged with the first slot or the second slot through the connecting hole.

[0024] When the fixing plate is in the closed state, the circumferential surface of the flat shaft section mates with the groove surface of the first slot or the groove surface of the second slot. Applying external force to the fixing plate can cause the flat shaft section to switch between the first slot and the second slot to achieve the translation of the fixing plate.

[0025] In the above technical solution, the rotating shaft also includes a circular shaft section, and the top of the outer cover is provided with an intermediate guide rail, with the circular shaft section placed inside the intermediate guide rail.

[0026] In the above technical solution, both the limiting guide rail and the intermediate guide rail have openings;

[0027] The rotating shaft on the fixed plate can be installed in or removed from the limiting guide rail and the intermediate guide rail through the openings on the limiting guide rail and the intermediate guide rail, so as to install the fixed plate on the outer cover or remove it from the outer cover.

[0028] In the above technical solution, the outer cover is provided with a left slide rail and a right slide rail on both sides of its length direction, and the left slide rail has an opening;

[0029] The fixing plate has a left circular shaft and a right circular shaft on both sides along its length.

[0030] The right-side round shaft of the fixing plate is directly inserted into the right-side slide rail of the outer cover, and the left-side round shaft enters the left-side slide rail of the outer cover through the opening.

[0031] In the above technical solution, the motor bracket structure also includes a left motor bracket and a right motor bracket formed on both sides of the length direction of the mounting slot, and the dust collection box component has eaves formed on both sides of its length direction and is supported on the left motor bracket and the right motor bracket through the eaves.

[0032] The left motor bracket is provided with a left bracket slot, which is a stepped slot and includes a first bracket slot and a second bracket slot that are interconnected. The left side of the dust collection box component is provided with a pin that engages with the first bracket slot. The left side of the fixing plate is provided with a left limiting piece that engages with the second bracket slot.

[0033] The right motor bracket is provided with a right bracket groove, and the right side of the fixing plate is provided with a right limiting piece, which cooperates with the right bracket groove.

[0034] In the above technical solution, the surface of the fixing plate is provided with connecting guide rails, and the outer cover and the dust collection box component are respectively provided with outer cover guide rails and dust collection box guide rails;

[0035] When the elastic buckle on the fixing plate engages with the engagement port of the dust collection box component to limit the position of the dust collection box component, one side of the connecting guide rail cooperates with the outer cover guide rail, and the other side cooperates with the dust collection box guide rail.

[0036] In the above technical solution, the side of the connecting guide rail that mates with the dust collection box guide rail is provided with an angle so that the side of the connecting guide rail that mates with the dust collection box guide rail is lower than the dust collection box guide rail.

[0037] By adopting the above technical solution, the present invention has the following beneficial effects compared with the prior art:

[0038] 1. The wall-mounted air conditioner of the present invention only requires a fixing plate to fix the dust collection box component, reducing the types and quantities of materials; and the dust collection box component can be locked or unlocked with just one action, making it convenient to install and disassemble, thus reducing production costs.

Detailed Implementation

[0094] Exemplary embodiments will now be described in detail, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description relates to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings denote the same or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with the present invention. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with some aspects of the invention as detailed in the appended claims.

[0095] Currently, existing air conditioner dust collection box components are usually fixed with two or more pins. This method is reliable and can effectively fix the dust collection box components, but it requires two or more parts for fixing, which leads to a decrease in the efficiency of the whole machine assembly. It also leads to an increase in the number of new molds and materials, as well as an increase in production costs and a greater burden on material transportation and management.

[0096] In this embodiment of the invention, only one fixing plate is required to fix the dust collection box component, reducing the types and quantities of materials; and the dust collection box component can be locked or unlocked with just one action, making it easy to install and disassemble, thus reducing production costs.

[0097] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-53 The technical solution of this embodiment is described in detail. Unless otherwise specified, the following implementation methods and embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0098] Example

[0099] This embodiment proposes a method such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 The wall-mounted air conditioner shown includes:

[0100] The top of the body has a mounting slot that extends along the left and right direction of the body;

[0101] The outer cover 3 is installed on the rear side of the mounting slot and covers the rear surface of the machine body along the height direction of the machine body. The top of the outer cover is provided with a limiting guide rail 31 along the left and right direction of the machine body, and the limiting guide rail forms a limiting slot facing the mounting slot.

[0102] Dust collection box component 2 is installed in the mounting slot and positioned near the front end of the mounting slot;

[0103] The fixing plate 4 is installed in the mounting slot and located between the outer cover 3 and the dust collection box component 2; the fixing plate has a rotating shaft 41 on one side in the front-rear direction, and the rotating shaft 41 is rotatably installed in the limiting guide rail 31 of the outer cover 3 through the limiting slot. The fixing plate 4 can rotate with the rotating shaft 41 to have an open or closed state.

[0104] The fixing plate 4 has an elastic buckle 42 facing the dust collection box component 2 on the side near the dust collection box component 2, and the dust collection box component 2 has a locking opening 21 that cooperates with the elastic buckle 42 on the side facing the fixing plate 4.

[0105] like Figure 16 As shown, the wall-mounted air conditioner in this embodiment also includes a motor bracket structure 5, wherein the motor bracket structure 5 includes an intermediate motor bracket 51, which is embedded in the snap-fit ​​opening 21 of the dust collection box component 2 and can be engaged with the elastic buckle and the snap-fit ​​opening respectively to limit the upper and lower positions of the fixing plate 4 and the dust collection box component 2.

[0106] The elastic buckle 42 is inserted into the locking opening and pressed against the bottom edge of the locking opening. The intermediate motor bracket is embedded in the locking opening 21 of the dust collection box component 2 and pressed against the top of the elastic buckle 42. The upper edge of the locking opening 21 is pressed against the top of the intermediate motor bracket. The end of the fixing plate near the dust collection box component 2 is pressed against the upper edge of the dust collection box component.

[0107] Specifically, such as Figure 49 As shown, when the fixed plate 4 is in the closed state, a force is applied to the fixed plate 4 towards the locking opening 21, causing the elastic buckle 42 on the fixed plate 4 to engage in the locking opening 21. At the same time, the upper edge of the elastic buckle 42 abuts against the intermediate motor bracket 51, which can restrict the translation and rotation of the fixed plate 4. The fixed plate 4 limits the dust collection box component 2 in the vertical direction of the machine body 1. Applying a force to the fixed plate 4 away from the locking opening 21 causes the elastic buckle 42 on the fixed plate 4 to disengage from the locking opening 21, which can release the limitation on the dust collection box component 2 in the vertical direction of the machine body 1.

[0108] It is worth noting that the front-back direction of the fixing plate 4 described in this embodiment refers to the fixing plate 4 in the closed state.

[0109] Compared to existing wall-mounted air conditioners, the wall-mounted air conditioner in this embodiment of the invention only requires a fixing plate 4 to fix the dust collection box component 4, reducing the types and quantities of materials; and only one action (i.e., pushing forward / backward on the fixing plate 4) is needed to lock or unlock the dust collection box component 2, making installation and disassembly more convenient and reducing production costs.

[0110] Specifically, such as Figure 8 As shown, the aforementioned snap-fit ​​opening 21 includes an opening formed on the dust collection box component 2, wherein a horizontal rib 211 is formed at the opening.

[0111] like Figure 49 As shown, when the elastic buckle 42 on the fixing plate 4 rotates to a position opposite to the engaging opening 21, a force is applied to the fixing plate 4 towards one side of the engaging opening 21. At this time, the elastic buckle 42 on the fixing plate 4 can be translatably embedded in the engaging opening 21 and engaged with the horizontal rib 211, thereby restricting the horizontal displacement of the fixing plate 4. Simultaneously, since the elastic buckle 42 is made of elastic material, when the fixing plate 4 is pushed towards one side of the engaging opening 21, a "click" sound is heard when the elastic buckle 42 enters the engaging opening 21, indicating that the dust collection box component 2 has been completely fixed by the fixing plate 4. When it is necessary to remove the dust collection box component 2, simply push the fixing plate 4 in the opposite direction; when a "click" sound is heard, the dust collection box component 2 can be easily removed.

[0112] More specifically, such as Figure 19 and Figure 20 As shown, the intermediate motor bracket 51 is provided with a slot;

[0113] like Figure 49As shown, when the fixing plate 4 is in the closed state, a force is applied to the fixing plate 4 towards the engaging opening 21. At this time, the elastic buckle 42 on the fixing plate 4 engages with the horizontal rib 211 of the engaging opening 21 and cooperates with the slot of the intermediate motor bracket 51. Specifically, as shown... Figure 49 As shown, the top surface of the elastic buckle 42 abuts against the top surface of the slot of the intermediate motor bracket 51, and the end face of the elastic buckle 42 abuts against the side surface of the slot of the motor bracket 51. The elastic buckle 42 has a claw, which is engaged with the horizontal rib 211, thereby fixing the position of the fixing plate 4.

[0114] Furthermore, to prevent the fixing plate 4 from deforming when fixing the dust collection box component 2, such as... Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment of the invention, a clearance groove 421 is provided on the fixing plate 4, such as... Figures 6-8 As shown, the dust collection box component 2 is provided with a pressure plate 22.

[0115] like Figure 50 and Figure 51 As shown, when the elastic buckle 21 is embedded in the horizontal rib 211 in the engagement opening 21, the pressure plate 22 and the relief groove 421 work together to press against the surface of the fixing plate 4, thereby preventing the fixing plate 4 from deforming.

[0116] In any of the above embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, the rotating shaft 41 includes a flat shaft section 411;

[0117] like Figure 13 As shown, the limiting slot on the limiting guide rail 31 includes a first slot 311 and a second slot 312, wherein a connecting hole is provided between the first slot 311 and the second slot 312. The diameter of the connecting hole is smaller than the diameter of the first slot 311 and the second slot 312. The flat shaft section 411 of the rotating shaft 41 can cooperate with the first slot 311 or the second slot 312 through the connecting hole.

[0118] like Figure 47 As shown, when the fixing plate 4 is in the closed state, the circumferential surface of the flat shaft section 411 engages with the groove surface of the first slot 311 or the groove surface of the second slot 312. Applying external force to the fixing plate 4 can cause the flat shaft section 411 to switch between the first slot 311 and the second slot 312 to achieve the translation of the fixing plate 4.

[0119] It is worth noting that, such as Figure 3 As shown, the aforementioned rotating shaft 41 also includes a round shaft section, and the flat shaft section 411 has two parts located on both sides of the round shaft section, as shown in the figure. Figure 14 As shown, the top of the outer cover 3 is also provided with a middle guide rail 32. When the fixing plate 4 is assembled on the outer cover 3, the round shaft section is placed in the middle guide rail 32.

[0120] As described above, the circular shaft 41 includes a flat shaft section 411 with a flattened portion and a circular shaft section without a flattened portion. The outer cover 3 includes a limiting guide rail 31 that engages with the flat shaft section 411 and an intermediate guide rail 32 that engages with the circular shaft section. When the fixing plate 4 is in the open state, the flattened plane of the flat shaft section 411 engages with the limiting guide rail 31, allowing it to easily disengage from the limiting guide rail 31. When the fixing plate 4 is in the closed state, the arc surface of the flat shaft section 411 engages with the limiting guide rail 31. At this time, force is required for the fixing plate 4 to move on the limiting guide rail 31, thus restricting the movement of the fixing plate 4. The intermediate guide rail 32 is an open track that only limits the vertical movement of the circular shaft section in the middle of the fixing plate 4.

[0121] Furthermore, to facilitate the assembly and disassembly of the fixing plate 4, both the aforementioned limiting guide rail 31 and intermediate guide rail 32 have openings; the rotating shaft 41 on the fixing plate 4 can be installed in or removed from the limiting guide rail 31 and intermediate guide rail 32 through the openings on the limiting guide rail 31 and intermediate guide rail 32, so as to install the fixing plate 4 on the outer cover 3 or remove it from the outer cover 3.

[0122] In any of the above embodiments, Figures 9-15 As shown, the outer cover 3 is provided with a left slide rail 33 and a right slide rail 34 on both sides of its length direction, wherein the left slide rail 33 has an opening;

[0123] like Figure 3 As shown, the fixing plate 4 has a left round shaft 43 and a right round shaft 44 on both sides of its length direction. The installation of the left round shaft 44 of the fixing plate 4 is facilitated by setting an opening on the left slide rail 33.

[0124] When installing the fixing plate 4, such as Figures 27-38 As shown, the right round shaft 44 of the fixing plate is directly inserted into the right slide rail 34 of the outer cover 3, and the left round shaft 43 enters into the left slide rail 33 of the outer cover 3 through the opening.

[0125] In any of the above embodiments, such as Figures 16-22 As shown, the motor bracket structure 5 also includes a left motor bracket 52 and a right motor bracket 53 formed on both sides of the mounting slot on the top of the machine body along the length direction. The dust collection box component 2 has eaves formed on both sides of its length direction and is supported on the left motor bracket 52 and the right motor bracket 53 through the eaves.

[0126] like Figure 18 As shown, the left motor bracket 52 is provided with a left bracket slot 521, which is a stepped slot. It includes a first bracket slot 5211 and a second bracket slot 5222 that are interconnected. Figure 6 As shown, a pin 23 is provided on the left side of the dust collection box component 2. The pin 23 engages with the first bracket slot 5211, as shown. Figure 5As shown, a left limiting piece 45 is provided on the left side of the fixing plate 4, and the left limiting piece 45 cooperates with the second bracket slot 5222; as Figure 22 As shown, the right motor bracket 53 is provided with a right bracket groove 531, and the right side of the fixing plate 4 is provided with a right limiting piece 46, which cooperates with the right bracket groove 531.

[0127] In any of the above embodiments, such as Figure 5 As shown, the surface of the fixing plate 4 is provided with a connecting guide rail 47, such as... Figures 23-26 As shown, the outer cover 3 and the dust collection box component 2 are respectively provided with an outer cover guide rail 35 and a dust collection box guide rail 24;

[0128] When the elastic buckle 42 on the fixing plate 4 engages in the engagement port 21 of the dust collection box component 2 to limit the position of the dust collection box component 2, one side of the connecting guide rail 47 cooperates with the outer cover guide rail 35, and the other side cooperates with the dust collection box guide rail 24, so that the connection between the dust collection box component 2 and the outer cover 3 is smoother, and the movement of the filter screen is more stable and quieter.

[0129] Furthermore, the side of the connecting guide rail 47 that mates with the dust collection box guide rail 24 is provided with an angle so that the side of the connecting guide rail 47 that mates with the dust collection box guide rail 24 is lower than the dust collection box guide rail 24. By providing an angle at the leading edge of the connecting guide rail 47, so that the leading edge of the connecting guide rail 47 is lower than the guide rail of the dust collection box component 2, the movement of the filter screen will not be hindered. Due to the movement of the fixing plate 4, the other end of the fixing plate 4 connecting the guide rail 47 mates with the guide rail of the outer cover 3 to form a complete guide rail, making the filter screen more stable and smooth during movement.

[0130] The above describes the specific structures of each component in the embodiments of the present invention. After clearly understanding the component structures in the embodiments of the present invention, the installation process of the components in the embodiments of the present invention will be described below:

[0131] First, the installation, use, and removal of the fixing plate 7 will be explained:

[0132] like Figures 27-32 As shown, the installation of the fixing plate 4 requires only three steps:

[0133] Step 1: Insert the round shaft 44 on the right side of the fixing plate 4 into the slide rail 34 on the right side of the outer cover 3;

[0134] Step 2: Then, along the flat direction of the flat shaft section 411 of the fixed plate 4, the fixed plate 4 is directly placed into the middle guide rail 32 and the limiting guide rail 31 of the outer cover. The left round shaft 43 of the fixed plate 4 is placed above the outer cover 3 by deformation.

[0135] Step 3: Push the fixing plate 4 backward, and the left round shaft 43 of the fixing plate 4 can directly enter the track through the opening on the left slide rail 33 of the outer cover 3;

[0136] The entire process of installing the fixing plate 4 does not require pressing, which solves the problem that existing pin installations require pressing with fingers to ensure proper placement, causing injury to the installer's fingers and making installation difficult.

[0137] When it is necessary to fix the dust collection box component 2 using the fixing plate 4, such as Figures 33-38 As shown, simply rotate the fixing plate 4 to the closed state and then pull the fixing plate 4 to one side of the dust collection box component 2 to fix the dust collection box component 2. When it is necessary to release the fixation of the dust collection box component 2, simply push the fixing plate 4 in the opposite direction to release the fixation of the dust collection box component 2, which is very quick and convenient.

[0138] To remove the fixing plate 4, simply push the left round shaft 43 of the fixing plate 4 backward onto the left slide rail 33 of the outer cover 3, and the fixing plate 4 can be easily removed. The installation and disassembly are extremely simple, greatly improving production efficiency.

[0139] The installation of dust collection box component 2 will be explained in detail below:

[0140] like Figures 39-42 As shown, when installing the dust collection box component 2, first tilt the dust collection box component 2 so that the crank and pin 23 at the left end of the dust collection box component are inserted into the corresponding holes and slots. Then, lay the right end of the dust collection box component 2 flat. Now the dust collection box component 2 is installed in the mounting slot of the body 1, but it is not yet fixed. At this time, simply rotate the fixing plate 4, which is in the open state, above the dust collection box component (even if the fixing plate 4 is in the closed state). Then, pull the pusher on the fixing plate 4 to one side of the dust collection box component 2. When the elastic buckle 42 on the fixing plate 4 enters the locking slot 21 on the dust collection box component 2, a "click" sound is produced, indicating that the dust collection box component 2 has been completely fixed. When it is necessary to remove the dust collection box component 2, simply push the fixing plate 4 in the opposite direction. When you hear a "click" sound again, it indicates that the fixing plate 4 has released the lock on the dust collection box component 2, and the dust collection box component 2 can be easily removed from the mounting slot.

[0141] To more clearly illustrate the cooperation relationship between the fixing plate 4 and the outer cover 3, the dust collection box component 2, and the motor bracket structure 5 in the embodiments of the present invention, the embodiments of the present invention provide... Figures 43-53 ,exist Figures 43-53 The diagram clearly shows the positional relationship between the aforementioned components after installation.

[0142] It is worth noting that, in the embodiments of the present invention, the length direction and the left-right direction are the same direction, the height direction and the up-down direction are the same direction, and the width direction and the front-back direction are the same direction. Although the descriptions of the directions are different, the meanings they express are the same.
